Why do we need a Therapy Dog Lounge in a high school?
We have created the Therapy Dog Program for stress relief for students and staff at Mountain Vista High School.
Check out our researched benefits on the "Benefits" page.
How does it work?
Counselors AND teachers can make referrals for any Vista students who show signs of serious stress.
Students can go to the Therapy Dog Lounge (in the library) with this pass for 10 minutes or longer depending on the referral time. We have trained student handlers supervising the lounge every period of the day. If there is no one there, the handlers will post where they are and when to expect them back.
Students may request a pass from a teacher or counselor and he/she will determine if/when to send you.
Step 1: Have a legal waiver signed by a parent or guardian before your first visit.

Can the dogs visit my classroom?
The Therapy Dogs are now available for 10 minute
with a teacher request!
VISTA TEACHERS, if you are interested in a little visit for stress-relief in your classroom, please follow these steps:
Pick a future day when you have your class doing a fairly quiet and
activity and when you think your students might benefit from having a therapy dog
your room.
Before that day, ask all students in your class if anyone has serious phobias or allergies to dogs. (Our dogs are hypoallergenic so allergies shouldn't be an issue with them, but we want to respect any student that does not want to be near the dogs.)
Ask this during class and have them tell you (confidentially) whether there is an issue.
At the time you would like the therapy dog, send a student to the Therapy Dog Lounge in the library with a green pass. Indicate on the pass that you would like a
If a dog is available, a trained student handler will escort the dog to your room for a 10 minute visit.

2 Hour Limit
- Artist: All You Can Eat Buffet
- Format: CD
- Release Date: 6/13/2006
|your cart is empty
All You Can Eat Buffet is a solo project of songwriter John Thomas Powers which began with the desire to offer the song 'November Day' to residents of storm ravaged Southern Indiana. John's writing continued until he had compiled several new songs and decided to offer them as a CD. All have received warm reviews which reflect the want of basic, acoustically driven songs by the listening public. All of these tracks are bare bones and allow the simple and honest lyrics to fulfill the singer/songwriter genre. John started out in gospel but his musical influences are widespread. Big band, classical, rock, country and gospel have all impacted on him and precipitated his diverse writing style. He is also a founding member of the group Common Quest, which performs in the Midwest area. John and his wife Jan, have five children and four grandchildren. Enjoy!

This would normally go under my sports page. However, I think this can go up on any site because it is the truth. I want to know when sports media became the laughing stock of all media. When did it go the way of TMZ and channels such as E! and other entertainment outlets?
While I was studying broadcast journalism in college, a professor asked me what I wanted to do in broadcasting. I said I wanted to be a sports journalist. This professor, who was also an Emmy award winning journalist, just laughed. She proceeded to tell me that it was not a real job. Sports media is a joke, is how she put it.
Why is it a joke? When did this happen?
Once upon a time, ESPN was a highly respected sports news outlet. Now so many of their viewers find them laughable. They have lost the respect of their audience and I wonder if they even realize it. If they did, you would think they would change things.
Yesterday a news story broke out about Jets football coach, Rex Ryan with a tattoo of his wife wearing his quarterback, Mark Sanchez, jersey. It was spotted on his arm as he and his wife are vacationing in the Bahamas. Vacationing in the Bahamas. Vacationing! The very word means they are not around for conversations with the media. Yet sports journalists find it necessary to become paparazzi and hound a football coach. They feel the need to invade his privacy.
Why should fans of the New York Jets care what tattoo he has on his arm? For that matter, why should they care about his foot fetish with his wife? The obsession with Tim Tebow when he came to town was ridiculous. From his faith to pictures of him running without his shirt on was enough to get the die hard fans shaking their heads.
These are not stories fans care about. They want answers as to why they Jets were so bad this season. They want to know why their coach still has a job. Will their QB come back next year? What will happen with Tim Tebow? Would the season have ended differently had Tebow been allowed to play more? This is what matters to Jets fans.
When Adam Rubin of ESPN New York tweets about the style of sweater New York Mets owner, Fred Wilpon, is wearing while entering an elevator from the baseball winter meetings, (as he did last year), I start to wonder if Joan Rivers will start a conversation with Rubin about the style. Mets fans want to know why he is still owner? What will it take for baseball Commissioner Bud Selig to seize the team from an owner who seems ill equipped to handle this team?
Fans do not care about what is going in the personal lives of their players unless it affects their performance and the status of their team. Maybe it is the fault of the fans constant demand of information on what is happening with their team, owners and league that has pressured the media to have a story everyday no matter what it is. Some would place the blame on the fans. Others blame social media networks like Twitter. Personally, if there is no story, then there is no story. You do not bring down the legitimacy of your outlet with stories that leave your audience, your readers shaking their head and wanting to forget all about you.
To all sports media outlets, you are paid to do a job. It is to report about sports. You are not to report about what is happening in their personal lives. You are not the paparazzi. You are not TMZ or E! or Style. Please refrain from reporting every little detail of what is happening. Do not make stories where there are none just for the sake of having a story. Oh and trying to spin the tattoo story so that it looks like a real story by talking about the tattoo having an impact on who Ryan put out on the field to play, does not work.
Then they wonder why the fans turn to bloggers for information regarding their teams.

So I Google around a little bit, and find this.
Important excerpts:
How Is a Dislocated Shoulder Treated?
Doctors treat a dislocation by putting the ball of the humerus back into the joint socket – a procedure called a reduction. The arm is then immobilized in a sling or a device called a shoulder immobilizer for several weeks. Usually the doctor recommends resting the shoulder and applying ice three or four times a day. After pain and swelling have been controlled, the patient enters a rehabilitation program that includes exercises to restore the range of motion of the shoulder and strengthen the muscles to prevent future dislocations. These exercises may progress from simple motion to the use of weights.
After treatment and recovery, a previously dislocated shoulder may remain more susceptible to reinjury, especially in young, active individuals. Ligaments may have been stretched or torn, and the shoulder may tend to dislocate again. A shoulder that dislocates severely or often, injuring surrounding tissues or nerves, usually requires surgical repair to tighten stretched ligaments or reattach torn ones.
That's not good news. I can't find yet whether his college shoulder separation was left or right shoulder. I think the left shoulder…if the right, however, that truly indicates that without surgery or increased muscle mass, he will be prone to more shoulder separations in the future.
Although it's been said, many times, many ways…Merry Chri—I mean, if Croyle can't stay healthy, he cannot be our starting quarterback. It doesn't matter how much he understands, how well he protects the ball, or how beautiful his spirals are…if he's not on the field, he can't win games for us. And every game he's on the sideline means we wasted snaps in preseason preparing someone who isn't even active. It's not Brodie's fault, but you have to draw a line.
My line? I give him one more injury. The next injury that pulls him out of a game when the game is on the line, or forces him to miss an entire game, is the point he loses his starting spot to injury.
It's a business.

Whoa. What a weekend. All planned nearly on at the last minute (as usual). Initial idea was a camping trip, then, Selena and Chris booked a house that included some available beds and floor space on a first-come basis. Everybody managed to get in except Simon and Tracey, (sorry guys) who camped across the road at Jimmys.
Loads of new arrivals on the crew lately. Final crew count was around 15 I'd say (plus gremmies Amelie and Robert) . Seems kitesurfing is the thing for South Africans this year. Let's see… Paul, Bobbie Jo, Arthur, plus the existing SA crew of Tam, Gregg, Coert and Ant… plus Terry, a student who joined us with GF Dee on Saturday for a lesson, that makes nine. Guess you guys are the majority now, eh? Oh, and none of these guys except Bobbie Jo and Paul knew each other before kitesurfing …How's that for coincidence?
Saturday morning was a leisurely brekkie followed by a wind check visit to Jimmys. Turns out there was a windsurfing comp on up the other end with about 100 windsurfers. Luckily, they stayed plenty downwind of us. Late arvo we got about 15-18 knots of SSW and a chance for a fun session on flat water, despite some rain, so no pics. Perfect conditions for everyone from complete beginners to experts.
Saturday night was the requisite visit to the Tea Gardens Pub.
Sunday was a late start and eventual trek up the beach to Little Gibber Headland/Sandy Point. Beau, Gregg and I got a few head high fun waves in the surf while everyone else worked on their tans getting ready for the wind.
Round 4 o'clock the nor'easter kicked in, another crew from Newcastle turned up and headed off before us. Tony, Beau, Gregg, Chris, Simon, Scotty and I made up the 'boarded' crew and Paul decided to body drag it. Brave man. I heard on Tuesday that the Newie crew had seen a couple of Whities on the way down. All I saw was a huge pod of about 100 dolphins, jumping all around, some completely out of the water, less than 3m away. Some of the biggest dolphins I've ever seen, many of 'em more than 3m long. The dolphin experience is always cool–no matter how many times you've seen it or experienced being in the middle of it, you never tire of it and they never lose their ability hold you in awe of how cool they are.
On the way down, took our time riding waves, jumping off big ramps out the back in perfect 15-18 knot nor'easters. Huge airs, loads of big cutties on the waves, magnificent conditions. Google Earth says 11.2km beginning to end. If you assume about .5 km per tack and maybe 80 tacks, I'd say all up we probably kited 40 km or more in about 2.5 hours, finishing up at the Hawks Nest Surf Club right on dark.
The girls revelled in driving the 4WDs down the beach as the support crew and did and exemplary job, stopping to shoot video numerous times along the way. Many thanks to Bobbie Jo, Selena, Tam, Alison and Tracey. Well done girls.
Monday, after the traditional chow down on about 110 of Selenas legendary pancakes, we stopped off in Umina where half an hour after our arrival we were greeted with a 25knot southerly that blew the rest of the day. The pictures tell the story. Arthur flew an inflatable kite for the first time on Saturday and by Sunday was up and riding on the board. Congratulations and welcome aboard mate. Your life will change forever now…
Great weekend all. Thanks to everyone who made it along for the great company. Great vibe all around, everyone reasonably well-behaved (as much as you'd want anyway) and only one complaint from a grouchy neighbour at 1am on Friday night, but he came out and had a friendly chat with us on Monday.
Everyone who didn't make it—dang. Ya missed a good one. Til next time.

The basic challenge for wearable devices is to integrate information and communication technology into our daily lives. Following the advent of smart glasses, contact lenses and other gadgets, smart watch creators are now engaged in fierce combat for market share.
Among wearable devices it is now the connected watch that has the wind in its sails. Sony, Pebble, Metawatch, Agent – a number of brands are already fighting for a place in the heart of the consumer. And these 'watches' are of course not about telling the time; the connected watch must be able to read your emails, send messages, receive calls and even respond to the sound of your voice… all without leaving your wrist. This is exactly what the Meteor, designed by US company Kreyos, does. This latest newcomer to the market is already proving highly popular, as evidenced by its page on the crowdfunding site Indiegogo. Having originally set out aiming to raise just $100,000 from the crowd, the founders have already seen close to $800,000 pledged through the site.
Wider functionality…
Kreyos scores highly with the wide range of functionality offered by its device. Connecting up to your smartphone via bluetooth, it can answer calls and messages, send and receive emails, post comments on the social networks, change music tracks on your player, and access apps – appointments diary, games and so on. The Meteor watch is also equipped with voice and gesture control, so you can instruct it directly without having to pull out your smartphone. Avi Greengart, Research Director at competitive intelligence solutions provider Current Analysis, reckons that wearable devices are all about leveraging customer experience. "The smart watch can also record the identity of its owner, his/her physical condition, and can even control the environment – music, video and room temperature, he points out."
…but not a substitute for the smartphone
Avi Greengart stresses nevertheless that: "These devices are not entirely autonomous. They work as an extension to laptops and smartphones." In fact the Kreyos creators point out that the Meteor watch does not take a SIM card and needs to work in coordination with your mobile phone. And while, as Jef Holove, the CEO of Basis, a company which makes smart watches, told L'Atelier at the recent MobileBeat conference, "smartphones are now becoming more and more central," wearable devices have yet to carve out a place for themselves in the mobile ecosystem. Pointing out that smart watches have still not really found an audience apart from the early adopters, Avi Greengart reckons that the challenge for creators is now to break out of this bind and come up with a "gadget for everyone".

From ESPN:
As the negotiating process was winding down Sunday, McCourty and head coach Bill Belichick had a phone conversation in which McCourty thanked him for a great five years with the franchise.
It was at that point that Belichick and the Patriots stepped up to levels they hadn't reached in the process. Their final offer of five years and $47.5 million, with $28.5 million in total guarantees (a record number of guarantees for a safety), swayed McCourty's decision at the last moment.
He was coming back to the Patriots.

Cristec KITSHUNT
Cristec KITSHUNT
For use with Cristec battery monitor to monitor an additional battery.
Battery Monitors
One of the key pieces of equipment in any battery based stand-by or off-grid installation is a battery monitoring system. It is not accurate enough to use battery voltage as the primary indication of charge state. The state of charge of a battery bank is fundamentally the battery voltage, but temperature of the battery must be taken into account and certainly, if the battery is working (being charged or discharged), the voltage is affected and so it is not an accurate reflection of the true SoC (State of Charge) at any point in time. Using Peukerts coefficient and an algorithm in a microprocessor coupled to a shunt, modern battery monitors can accurately establish SoC, time to run before battery exhaustion, percentage of charge remaining and alert the end user when the batteries must be recharged.

George Washington
George Washington (February 22, 1732 [O.S. February 11, 1731]—December 14, 1799) was the first President of the United States of America, serving from 1789 to 1797, and dominant military and political leader of the United States from 1775 to 1799. He led the American victory over Great Britain in the American Revolutionary War as commander-in-chief of the Continental Army from 1775 to 1783, and presided over the writing of the Constitution in 1787. Washington became the first president by unanimous choice, and oversaw the creation of a strong, well-financed national government that maintained neutrality in the wars raging in Europe, suppressed rebellion and won acceptance among Americans of all types. His leadership style established many forms and rituals of government that have been used since, such as using a cabinet system and delivering an inaugural address. Washington is universally regarded as the "Father of his country".

GRAND ISLAND, Neb. -- The nice weather was a warm welcome for hundreds of people from around the state rolling or strolling to support families affected by Rett Syndrome.
Saturday was the 5th annual Nebraska Strollathon at Westridge Middle School in Grand Island.
Organizers said the event is important, because it raises money for treatments and a cure for the disorder. It also helps raise awareness.
Rett Syndrome is a disorder that leads to severe impairments affecting the ability to walk, speak, breathe, or even eat.
"We currently have 34 families in Nebraska with daughters with Rett Syndrome," Jacy Horst, the chair of Nebraska Rett Syndrome Strollathon, said. "This is a time for the state to get together as families to talk, visit, and share stories."
Horst added it's important to give the girls affected with the disorder a day that celebrates them.
"The girls with Rett Syndrome are beautiful people," Horst said. "They understand what you say, but they might not be able to talk back when you talk with them." "They also appreciate all of the support that they are given from the community, not just Grand Island, but from around the state," Horst added.
The next Strollathon will be around this time next year and organizers said they hope to move it around the state.

Make Money Using the Maria Laying System
Maria's Laying System originated back on the 2nd of September 2005, when someone posting as "maria" from Latvia posted this system with daily updates of the horse racing lays they were placing, followed up by posting their profits the following day. Whoever was behind "maria" turned £3,000 into £100,603.78 (after 5% Betfair commission deduction) in 303 days!
Maria wanted to "minimise risks and maximise returns". She claimed under-funding was the most common reason for failure and giving up when you're on a losing run (we say if you're losing lots, then gambling is probably not for you).
Here is how the Maria System works:
Lay in 3 distinct "exchange price bands".
- If the exchange price available is less than 3.5 (5/2), lay to a stake of 1% of your current gambling pot.
- If the exchange price is between 3.6 and 7.4, lay to a stake of 0.6% of your current gambling pot.
- If the exchange price is between 7.5 and 11 (don't lay anything higher than 10/1), lay to a stake of 0.4% of your current gambling pot.
Examples (based on a £1,000 bank):
Prices below 3.5: lay to 1% of bank – backer's stake £10 (your liability under £25)
Prices from 3.6 to 7.4 inclusive: lay to 0.6% of bank – potential winnings £6 (your liability £15.60 to £38.40)
Prices from 7.5 to 11 inclusive: lay to 0.4% of bank – potential winnings £4 (your liability £26 to £44)
The smaller your bank is to start with, the smaller your winnings will be at the start. Then as you build up, you'll be staking and winning more, as the "lay to 1%" will increase from your very first win etc. Here is an example of how a day's betting would look if you chose to lay some Premier League matches with a starting bank of £1,000:
Arsenal 1.60 – potential winnings: £10 – lost
Aston Villa 1.68 – potential winnings: £10 – won
Bolton Wanderers 10.00 – potential winnings: £4 – won
Everton 3.50 – potential winnings: £10 – won
Fulham 7.00 – potential winnings: £6 – won
Wigan Athletic 9.50 – potential winnings: £4 – won
Today's strike-rate: 5 wins from 6 selections = 83%
Profit today (after 5% deduction): £22.80
Bank increase: 2.2%
Bank: £1,022.80
As with all laying systems, they aim to build your balance up over time, and requires a lot of discipline. Maria was very successful with the horses using this system, by increasing her profits by over 3000%!

"I do it because our family loves the Irish festival. I go to it all the time," she said.
"I'd rather be involved than do nothing there. The people I work with are special, and it's so much fun."
Twin brother Matt Innes has been volunteering at the festival since age 14 and has done numerous jobs around the event.
Along with working the beverage golf carts, Matt Innes has helped check up on vendors and has managed golf cart transportation for entertainers for the past four years.
"It's just great -- the people you get to be involved with," he said. "Even when it's 100 degrees, we're still having fun."
Rachel Innes also has had her share of jobs at the festival, working at volunteer headquarters, the admission gate and most recently on the volunteer committee.
"There are few areas at the festival volunteers don't have something to do with it," said Dublin Volunteer Resources Administrator Christine Nardecchia.
"There is a leadership committee that works year-round with staff, and that begins the Monday after last year's festival," Nardecchia said.
"When the festival gets closer, they're helping set up for the 5K, helping with table coverings, and we even have teams that come out for setup Saturday and Sunday morning. ... You don't always see volunteers that serve the festival. The impact they have on this event is simply extraordinary."
Some volunteers even come from other states to volunteer, Nardecchia said, including three from Canada this year.
"We have a retention rate of 78 percent," she said, noting that they take great care to place volunteers in jobs that utilize their skills and interests.
"Once you do it, there's an addictive quality when you volunteer," Nardecchia said.
"You like to know, see and feel that you've made an impact when you do a shift of service at the festival. You get to know you're making a difference."
Matt and Rachel Innes are two of the many volunteers "addicted" to serving.
"You get to see a part of the city you don't normally see," Rachel Innes said. "I don't see stopping anytime soon."
"It's amazing how the festival wouldn't happen without the volunteers," Matt Innes said.
Nardecchia said the Innes siblings are the kind of volunteers who help the Irish Festival run and make volunteering enjoyable.
"Matt and Rachel are the perfect examples of citizens that have pride that this is our community festival that we host," she said.
The Dublin Irish Festival is slated to run in Coffman Park Aug. 3-5. For more information about the event or to volunteer, look online at dublinirish festival.org..

Manchester United officials are angry at the public perception that the club have abandoned their policy of promoting youth, according to The Daily Mirror.
The Old Trafford outfit broke records in the summer transfer market in what was the biggest overhaul of the squad in their long history. Louis van Gaal spent £150 million bringing six players in while as many as 12 were shown the exit door.
Evolution or revolution?
The excessive movement was far flung from the sustainable approach installed by long-standing manager Alex Ferguson, whose ethos seems to have gone out of the window since stepping down in 2012.
However, Manchester United a determined to keep their traditions intact and are committed to bringing young and local players through the academy and into the first team. After this summer's revolution, officials want the impetus turned back to evolution.

Marquee additions
No one can accuse Manchester United of not being ambitious in this summer's transfer window. Angel Di Maria joined from Real Madrid for a British record deal of £59.7 million while Radamel Falcao joined on loan from Monaco.
Those additions were praised by some quarters of Old Trafford, but lamented by traditionalists who saw youth product Danny Welbeck sold to rivals Arsenal as a result. Some believed that the marquee additions were a sign of a new Galactico-esque era, with the emphasis on buying, not developing.
Strong foundations
But Manchester United officials are adamant that the club will not go down the road of Premier League rivals Chelsea and Manchester City, who accelerated their path to the top with heavy spending. Instead they think they are well set up to introduce a new generation of talent.
Young striker James Wilson was reportedly placed ahead of Welbeck in Van Gaal's mind, and was the main reason the England international left. Meanwhile Tyler Blackett, Michael Keane (now on loan to Burnley) and Reece James have all been introduced to the first team. Jesse Lingard is currently injured, but is expected to return to the fold once recovered.
Homegrown squad
Out of their 35-man squad, Manchester United boast 14 English players–more than Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City and Tottenham–and 21 players under the age of 25.
Van Gaal, who has brought through the likes of Thomas Muller during his career, is well versed on player development and Manchester United expect him to assist in their pursuit to deliver the next 'Class of 92'.

My love affair with macarons began on a rainy afternoon in Paris four years ago. It was a chocolate macaron at Dalloyau that was so perfect, so dark, so rich I became obsessed. I would only eat the chocolate ones for fear of being disappointed by a lesser flavor.
When I moved back to California, I tried to substitute them with cupcakes, but quickly grew bored. I tried desperately (sometimes on a daily basis) to recreate the perfection of that chocolate macaron in my kitchen, and failed miserably every time. Now that I think about it, I really had no choice but to move back to France.
When I returned, I vowed to try every flavor. I figured that given all the macaron colors I've seen in Paris patisseries, it will take awhile before I get to the flavors that sound really disgusting to me (fois gras, for example)
One thing I learned quickly is that the assortment of flavors of macarons you can find in a particular village or ville is directly proportionate to the number of people who live there or visit. Vidauban, with a population of approximately 10,000 really offers a selection of six flavors: chocolate, pistachio, lemon, vanilla, coffee and strawberry. After sampling all Vidabuan has to offer, I began to travel further afield to broaden my horizons.
Once again, it's in Paris where I'm able to rediscover that total bliss I experienced with that first chocolate macaron, not once, but twice in one day: First, by the Bon Marche food hall, La Grande Epicerie Paris (how I love that place) rhubarb and vanilla macaron…OhMyGod…and later that day by Laduree's caramel beurre de sale…OHMYGOD… The Laduree Cherry/almond macaron is a close third.
I'm partial to the macarons that don't have jam fillings. I prefer something creamier like ganache, nougat or caramel. Jam seems so common, like someone grabbed a jar of Smuckers and slathered it on. Even a curd or paste will do.
A quick note toLaduree: Yes, your store is beautiful. Yes, your macarons and packaging are to die for. But why can't I take a picture in your store? It's not like you're the freaking pentagon, for godsakes.
A note to places who sell very expensive macarons and yet when you buy four, they get shoved into a little prissy bag that will get your macarons crushed if you were to carry them any distance: put 'em in a box!!!! I'm talking to you, Jean Luc Pele. Do you think these flimsy bags are going to get these macarons from Cannes to Antibes unscathed? And while we're at it, Laduree, anybody who spends 10 euros on four macarons deserves a box, carrying case or jeweled encrusted chest with built in refrigeration.
There are two macarons vendors with excellent selections in Antibes who concoct these nifty little carrying cases from the larger casings. I want to bedazzle one, put a strap on it and carry it everywhere so I'm always prepared for an unexpected patisserie event.
So far, here are the macarons I've tried and a review of whether or not the flavor works for me in macaron form or not. Basically they fall into 4 categories.
- ****OMG i will spend the rest of my life trying to recreate this experience.
- ***this is really good. I'm not obsessed, but I will want to have another..
- **Good. Been there done that.
- *Ewww, this is disgusting.
***lemon (citron) I have yet to have a citron macaron I didn't like.
***mandarine I feared it might taste like cough medicine, but it was pretty dang good. I'm not obsessed, but I'll definitely have another.
***yuzu Very good. Citrusy with this tantalizing whiff of something good. A rare example of a slightly perfume-y flavor agreeing with my taste buds.
**bergamot Bergamot is weird. It's a citrus, but it's more perfumey that it is citrusy. Twice I've had a bergamot macaron and promptly forgot what it tasted like.
***chocolate What's not to like?
****rhubarb vanilla: There it was behind the counter at Bon Marche epicierie. It wasn't the brightest macaron, but something about it spoke to me. One bite and it was all over for me. Bliss. Perfect combo of sweet/tarte/creamy/crunchy. I may never see another rhubarb vanilla macaron, but I'll always remember the brief time I had one. I'll live my life as it never happened but deep in my heart, around every street corner, in every window a vague wish will flicker through my heart — that another rhubarb vanilla macaron will be there, waiting for me.
***chocolate noir What's not to like?
****caramel beurre de salle I pledge thee my troth.
***coffee (cafe): Come to think of it, maybe it's only two stars. Oh I don't know. It just seems unsophisticated to not like the coffee flavored one. Whatevs.
**lime (citron vert): maybe it was the patisserie (Jean Luc de whatshiznosis cannes)
**mint (menthe): It's kind of a two and a half. I've had one I loved and one that was okay. The one I loved will induce me to get another. I won't take it over a beurre de salle or even ginger, but it's not bad.
**vanilla good, but I don't really need to have another unless someone tells me that so and so makes the most delicious one in the whole wide world. Or they add rhubard.
**strawberry (fraise) Jam filling. Need I say more?
****cherry almond (griotte amande): Oh laduree, I will put up with your slightly snippy sales girls and high prices for little miracles like this.
***pistachio (pistache) Anything pistachio is good. But when you get right down to it (and I've given this a great deal of thought), I'd rather have pistachio ice cream than a pistachio macaron.
**cherry (cerise)
**chocolate banana
**champagne Here's the thing. It tasted more like roses than champagne. I don't like eating flowers, so it's not my favorite. But I wonder if he gave me the wrong one? It's really pretty pink with a slight golden glow. May have to try again. I like champagne. I even like roses, i just don't like eating them.
***gingerbread (pain d'epices) This is really good. Like three and a half stars good. Kind of like a pumpkin pie only better. Really, really, really good. I wonder if the store is still open….
**raspberry (framboise)
**blackberry (mure)
***passionfruit chocolate I'm not sure if I like it or hate it. It's intriguing, possibly because I both love it and hate it. I might have to try another one someday just to figure it out.
***amaretto Nice and almondy.
***bitter orange (orange amere) Much better than I expected. Delicious, in fact.
***nutella I'm not a huge nutella fan, but these are good!
***peanut (cacahuette) these will be my replacement for Reeses peanut butter cups, when I get a craving. Do you know how hard it is to find anything peanut butter related over here?
****Bitter orange ginger (orange amere gingembre) One of Laduree's monthly specials. Definitely an eyes rolled into back of head moment. My first impulse is to go back, buy the whole stock of them and start hoarding.

Raj Rajaratnam, the billionaire hedge fund manager who was convicted of insider trading in May, is fighting to lower his estimated prison sentence, 12 to 24.5 years.
But it might be counter-productive.
Prosecutors say that what Rajaratnam said in an interview with a court probation officer who's proposing what his sentence should be to the judge "[reflects] a serious disregard for the law" and warrants a harsher sentence. They're seeking 19.5 to 24.5 years.
Here's what he said, from Bloomberg:
Rajaratnam ... told a court official that he wasn't "clear" on "the line between permissible 'detective work' and impermissible insider trading," prosecutors said...
"In my own mind, the line between permissible 'detective work' and impermissible insider trading was not always clear, especially with regard to companies broadly covered by the news media as to which there was a wealth of publicly available information, including frequent leaks, rumors and speculation about corporate transactions and other important developments."
[No one was harmed by my trades.]
"I am not aware of anyone who lost money as a result of my actions presented to the jury... The trades at issue were made in liquid stocks with market makers. They were not made with individual investors who would have refrained from trading but for my purchases and sales... All of Galleon's investors were made whole after Galleon closed down."
Prosecutors are using the comments, which he was not required to make, against Rajaratnam.
...Prosecutors excerpted some of his comments to the probation officer while telling U.S. District Judge Richard Holwell in New York that they show Rajaratnam "remains defiant."
Prosecutors said the comment shows that Rajaratnam has "absolutely no appreciation" that he "cheated the system."
Therefore he should get 19.5 to 24.5 years, they say.
Our take is, this only makes it more likely that Raj will run. If he felt bad about what he did, he might be able to reconcile over a decade in jail. The fact that he doesn't suggests he is having an extremely hard time coming to terms with his upcoming jail time. For more on why he believes he traded on confidential - not material - information, and used detective work to form a "mosaic theory," here's his defense of some of his trades.
Most people we polled think he'll run too. He has the money. As long as he can figure out how to get out without a passport, and how to get the electronic monitoring bracelet off, he's set.
And he'll be back to living a fabulous life >
If he doesn't, Rajaratnam will be sentenced on September 27.

Hugh Jackman is Back! - Say what you will about this year's ceremony being…well, weird amongst a lot of other things. But there was Hugh Jackman; working his ass (and calves) off and genuinely looking excited to host the ceremony. The Tonys never had an official ambassador, but Jackman's name has been one of the few associated with that distinction. Not just because big, manly-man, Wolverine has a modern-day Gene Kelly side to him - going against heteronormative type in the process - but because he played a part in the trend of A-List stars doing Broadway for the experiment and/or the love of the art form. Couple that with taking the Tonys hosting gig and select Broadway engagements numerous times - including the upcoming Jez Butterworth play, The River - when he could be elsewhere starring in a film and raking in more money then I will see in four lifetimes, Jackman is the real deal. It is disappointing to see the ratings didn't reciprocate Jackman's enthusiasm, but the job is always his, if I have any say in the matter. Which I do on some level - this is my website, after all.
As If I Couldn't Love Mark Rylance Any More - It is is easy to be enamored by Mark Rylance; he is a talented beast and every one of his performances deserve all the awards (I'm not exaggerating). Garnering his third Tony for his Olivia in Twelfe Night, I was readying myself for another WTF of a Louis Jenkins poem/speech. Instead, he was his typical humble, well-spoken self and thanked Sam Wannamaker's contributions to the Globe Theater. Rylance? Never change good man and come back to the New York Theatre scene. You are already missed and it only has been, like, a few months.
Hedwig Goes Big Before Going Home - Where else on television do you have Neil Patrick Harris done up like a transvestite in gold heels and fishnets, and in a matter of a minute, grind his crotch in Orlando Bloom's face? And lick Samuel L. Jackson's glasses? And give a lap dance to Sting and Kevin Bacon? And tongue his hot fiancee? Why, the Tony Awards, of course! In fact, I can't help but wonder how all of that happened, and, so far, there isn't some mom-group or council up in arms and sharpening their pitchforks (after all, people got pissed off at the sight of Kinky Boots' drag queens dancing on the Macys Thanksgiving Day Parade telecast). Kudos to CBS for not sugar-coating Hedwig because if it can't be celebrated on the Tonys, what could possibly be the alternative location?
Chris O'Dowd Raises a Flask - My kind of Tony nominee is someone who doesn't have a single fuck to give. How else to explain Chris O'Dowd, nominated for his performance in Of Mice and Men, taking a drink - OUT OF A FLASK! - after Bryan Cranston was announced in his stead? And there wasn't a moment of hesitation; that flask was on standby, bitches! If anything, it was a nice reminder that O'Dowd has been a benevolent presence on Broadway this season and we'd love to see him around these parts more often.
Bridges Last Stand - You know what is integral to a great musical? The music. Enlightening stuff, I know. The Tony committee rightfully rewarded Jason Robert Brown for Best Score and Best Orchestrations for The Bridges of Madison County, although you might not have remembered that because the category was not televised (less a three-second clip). It does further highlight how the Tony Awards can make exactly zero sense, what with Bridges still-shocking omission from the Best Musical category, but it was a nice little "Fuck Yeah" for all of us
A Moment in the Life of Ramin Karimloo - So, you find yourself nominated for a Tony in a category that is a virtual lock for one of your competitors. And your adorable ragamuffins have fallen asleep all around your business. What do you do? For Ramin Karimloo, it's simple - as the camera pans to you, sshh the fuck out of everyone applauding and sit back in your chair with poise and profile. Karimloo looked like the most suavest, laid-back Iranian James Bond and I wanted to grab a drink and a cigar with him afterwords. And bang him, but that's a given.
A Gentleman's Guide... is All Settled In - With its win for Best Musical last night, A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder will be around these parts much longer. Sure, its victory is basically by default, but it is a correct one nonetheless. And it warms my heart to see a Broadway show with an original score and book take down the night's top honor. The fact that is opened last Fall and held off the entire Spring gamut, when the Tonys could have pulled a Tonys and rewarded a more mediocre, commercial show, is an additional plus - I can't recall the last time that happened.
Paging Lin-Manuel Miranda and Tom Kitt - You know all those things that made the Tonys telecast shine going back the last few years? Like, the kickass opening and closing numbers, the musical interludes and such? "No thanks, we're good," said the Tony Awards. Miranda and Kitt's absence from behind-the-scenes were noticeable in .02 seconds, as Hugh Jackman is hopping up-and-down like a pogo stick. Hell, the After Midnight performance was about four times as long as Hugh's opening number (if you can call it that). I'm no insider expert, but I'm guessing Kitt's lineage to If/Then squandered his invitation and...well, I've got nothing re: Miranda. Whatever the case may be, I hope this wrong will be righted - if not the dream team of Kitt/Miranda, then someone else.
Hi Kenny Leon, I Need A Word - I can't really comment on Leon's directorial contributions to A Raisin in the Sun, as that is one of the few shows that has eluded me (although, need I remind you, this is the second time he has directed A Raisin in the Sun on Broadway. So, his award eligibility is totally an even playing field). But once you get up on that microphone, it is all on you buddy. And name-dropping your not-yet-open Tupac musical, Holler If Ya Hear Me, as if the Tonys is your own bullhorn for shameless promotion, rubbed me the wrong way. I'm sure there were more people you can thank or a quote or a poem you can recite - we would eat that shit up with a spoon! - but instead, you were all, "thanks Raisin - now, go see my new show!" There were other deserving directors (hint: all of them), not to mention the non-televised award recipients whom would have likely just reveled in the euphoria of winning, but Leon had a more maligned objective in mind. Tsk, tsk...
And Speaking of the Non-Televised... - There is only so much time in a Tonys telecast and I understand the need to cut corners. But, in a ceremony that ran over anyways, they couldn't squeeze out another few minutes to recognize those for...Best Book? Or Score? Or Costuming? What is it going to take to recognize the hardworking behind-the-scenes folks, whom had all, but three edited seconds make air time? But The Last Ship and Finding Neverland - the latter featuring a singer not even attached to the show, less maybe the concept album - get all the time they need, despite having nothing to do with the current Broadway season? And what about every other not-nominated show getting their own big-ass number? That Wicked performance (because there wasn't enough Wicked exposure in the mainstream in the last year?)? All just because these shows in question have a six-figure check in hand? Tonys, I say this with love...but are you fucking kidding us?
Oh Look, Here Comes All The Way - You should have seen the smoke come out of my ears as All The Way won two of the nights most sought-after honors, Best Play and Bryan Cranston for Lead Actor. The latter is deserving (and gave a great speech!), but I'm still pouting over the former. Talk of a post-Broadway life for All The Way has been rumored for months - a mini-series, evidently, and a movie right out of the Frost/Nixon mold - and the Tonys, never passing up the opportunity for commercial gain and/or larger exposure, rewarded All The Way for that. Talk about a stacked deck and a disadvantage that the other more deserving nominees didn't have.
Actually, WTF Recipients in General - The Cripple of Inishmaan? Mothers and Sons? Casa Valentina? Violet? They all went home empty-handed. Even The Glass Menagerie felt under-rewarded, with only one Tony for Natasha Katz's lighting design. On the heels of the last few years, when the closed Death of a Salesmen and Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf would take home multiple big-name honors, it felt sort of "ho-hum" to see The Tonys turn the other cheek and insist on rewarding A Raisin in the Sun, Lady Day at Emerson's Bar & Grill and All The Way multiple times. I've always had definitive differences amongst the Tony ballot and eventual winners, but this was a compellingly bad year for me - and it wasn't due to a shortage of quality out there. Ahh Tonys - I wish I knew how to quit you.

For those of you who will rely predominately on student loans to finance your law school education, it is crucial that you realize the implications and responsibilities of your borrowing. Keep in mind that what you borrow while in school will have an impact on how quickly you will achieve your financial and career goals once you graduate. One good guide book to money management is the National Endowment for Financial Education's 40 Money Management Tips Every College Student Should Know. Another good reference tool is the U.S. government's website called MyMoney.gov to teach you the basics about financial education.
Establishing a budget while you are in school is one of the most important tools you can use regarding debt management. It essentially provides a framework for you to work within and a plan to "live within your means". In order to create a realistic budget, you must first assess your current lifestyle and spending habits and recognize that when you become a full-time student, more than likely these patterns will drastically change. In creating a budget, it is a good idea to establish a monthly budget as opposed to a semester budget as it allows you to assess your short term as well as long term (semester, academic year) expenses and thus, budget accordingly. You should start by itemizing your basic monthly living expenses such as rent, utilities, food/sundries, clothing/laundry, transportation, entertainment etc. In addition you should include your educational expenses such as tuition, fees, books and supplies. Traditionally, these expenses tend to be incurred at the beginning of each semester rather than a regular monthly expense. Finally, you should list your other monthly financial obligations, such as credit card debt or car loans. It is highly recommended that students satisfy their consumer loan obligations prior to undertaking law school so as to relieve themselves of additional monthly debt burden while in school. At this point you should have a realistic idea of your projected expenses for the school year.
The next step is to itemize your financial resources such as parental/family support, savings, part-time work income, etc. Again it is recommended that this information be listed on a per-month basis so as to create a fuller picture of your situation. At this point you should be able to analyze your projected monthly expenses versus your projected monthly income and thus assess your need (if any) for student loans to bridge the difference. A general Budget Calculator is available to assist you with this process. A few suggestions to cut your monthly expenses include getting a roommate, packing your meals as opposed to eating out, using coupons, as well as seeking out more economical options for entertainment.
A conservative approach to borrowing loan funds for your education is highly recommended. You should first identify all other resources you have available prior to taking out student loans in an effort to limit your loan indebtedness. Thus any gap between what your resources are and what your anticipated educationally related expenses will be may be satisfied by student loans. Student loans should be used to "bridge" the gap between personal resources and educationally related expenses.
It is critical to consistently monitor your loan indebtedness throughout your educational career so as to have a realistic understanding of your financial obligations once you graduate. In an effort to assist you with this important task, the Office of Financial Aid provides an individual loan history to all financial aid students usually during the spring semester. Another resource to assist you in tracking your loan indebtedness is to access the National Student Loan Database System at www.nslds.ed.gov where you will find a complete listing of all your federal loans. Keep in mind that some student loans begin to accrue interest at the time of disbursement, so the amounts you borrow initially will undoubtedly increase by the time you go into repayment. A helpful tool is a Basic Loan Repayment Chart that shows loan repayment amounts with various interest rates.
In addition to monitoring your total loan indebtedness, we recommend that you periodically take the time to calculate what your monthly payments will be once you enter repayment. There are a number of loan repayment calculators via the internet that can assist you with these calculations. It should be noted that these tools are recommended only as a resource and should not to be used as a true repayment figure. You should contact your individual lenders to obtain exact loan totals and monthly repayment figures.
As you monitor your monthly student loan repayment obligation throughout your academic career, we strongly encourage you to cross reference this information with "realistic" salary expectations. It is important to keep in mind that starting salaries are not "take home" pay and further research into what you will actually be taking home is a critical step when planning/assessing what you will need to earn in order to meet your basic financial obligations once you enter the work force. When calculating your take home pay, you should not only factor in federal and state taxes, but also savings plans, health insurance and other important deductions. Since a gap exists between your gross salary and what you actually take home, consistent monitoring of your loan indebtedness coupled with realistic salary expectations for your chosen field of interest contributes toward a sound debt management strategy.
While having credit cards is a convenience for most consumers, when it is used to "supplement" your income it may very well become a pitfall. The use of credit cards, particularly for students who are on a limited budget, tends to be a tempting option at times. However, using a credit card irresponsibly now may very well have long lasting negative effects on your credit history, thus possibly jeopardizing your ability to secure a mortgage, car loan, as well as other lines of credit in the future. Also, if you plan to take out a private loan or a Graduate PLUS Loan (in addition to the Federal Stafford Loan) for your education, poor credit, adverse credit and/or maxed out credit cards may prevent you from securing these types of loans. It is highly recommended that you pay off all consumer debt prior to entering school so as to alleviate an additional monthly financial obligation while a student. Some strategies you may want to consider regarding the use of credit cards include:
It is highly recommended that you create and maintain a file of all financial paperwork that you accumulate while obtaining your education. This file should include copies of all applications, promissory notes, lender correspondence, disclosure statements, as well as any other documents you deem important. By actively keeping this file current you will be provided with an additional opportunity to monitor your loan indebtedness as well as double check the accuracy of yours and your lenders records.
When you apply for either a Federal Graduate PLUS Loan or a private student alternative loan, your lender will request a copy of your credit report and will evaluate your credit to determine your credit worthiness. If the lender is evaluating your credit for the Federal Graduate PLUS Loan, the lender will only be looking for adverse or negative credit; a credit score will not be used. Adverse credit includes such items as:
If you are denied a Graduate PLUS Loan, you will have the option of correcting the adverse credit, appealing the decision if you feel there was an error on your report, or applying with an endorser. If the lender is evaluating your credit for a private student alternative loan, not only will they review your credit report, but they will also look at your credit score. Credit scoring is the process by which your credit is assigned a numerical score that identifies your level of future credit risk to the lender; in other words, your willingness to repay your loan. Your score considers both positive and negative information in your credit report and is based on factors such as payment history, types of credit, and outstanding debt as well as the proportion of credit used as compared to available credit. This information will be used to determine whether you will be approved for a private loan on your own signature, denied a loan or will be required to obtain a co-signer in order to be approved.
It is recommended that you be proactive and check your credit report on a regular basis to maintain control of your credit. You should review your credit report at least once a year to check for possible errors and re-evaluate your "credit picture" for ways to improve your score. It should be noted that the three major credit bureaus (listed below) each maintain their information independently so the information each bureau has on file for you may differ and the score they provide to the lender may differ. For this reason, it is advisable to check your credit with all three of the major credit bureaus. The Fair Credit Reporting Act now requires the three national credit reporting agencies to provide a free copy of your credit report once every 12 months. This free copy of your credit report can be obtained at www.annualcreditreport.com. If you have been denied credit, you are entitled to get a free copy of your credit report from the agency used in the credit decision within 60 days of the denial.

Is that dangerous? Will I get injured? Every time I leave the consultation room with my joint specialist who spends time manipulating my back, making it go POP and then working on my shoulder I leave with new knowledge, inspiration to write about it and a brand new back (kinda!!).
Today's topic was injuries (suitably) after we discussed and dissected my training regime, movement patterns and the issue I carry in my left shoulder. As we debated several points the one thing I was curious to ask was ''how far do you think I can go?'' By that I meant, at what point if any would he anticipate ''heavy'' low rep lifting close to your limit become problematic and potentially dangerous resulting in an injury. As with anything the answer wasn't completely specific, inevitably it had several dimensions.
''I think you would be unlucky to suffer any serious detachment of connective tissues but I also think it could happen. I have seen some horrific injuries. No matter how strong the muscle is, there will come a point whereby your skeletal system won't be able to tolerate the load. When that happens you are in trouble.''
The answer he gave was perfectly logical. Understandably there is a point where no matter how good your form, how strong your muscles are or how determined you are the skeleton will go ''no.''
However we then moved and agreed that to reach this point you would PROBABLY need to be lifting astronomical weights. The grey area arrives when you decide what you could classify this as? It is relative to the person. However one of the reasons I work with Marc is because we can determine to an extent the wear and stress on my joints and act appropriately. Hopefully if there was any wear which was cause for concern we would catch it soon enough before anything detrimental occurred (of course there is always a risk!!).
This leads me nicely to my point today. If you train hard, you lift hard, you eat well, you take your supplements then you should in my opinion add another dimension to that list – recover and rehab properly. Work with someone, even if it once a month who can help keep you in check and on the path to healthy progress. Marc allows my back to have full mobility again, he reassures me of issues, he sets me tasks which will hopefully improve any issues I deal with now. He costs me (once per month) the price of a very average takeaway. What value do you place on the health of your joints?

Battle flag carried by black Union troops sells for $200K
DENVER, Pa. (AP) — A flag that was carried into battle by a black Union regiment during the Civil War and hand-painted by an acclaimed African American artist will join one of the country's most comprehensive Civil War collections.
The Atlanta History Center bought the flag at auction Thursday for $196,800, making it the largest purchase the center has paid for an artifact.
Morphy Auctions was selling off the flag in Pennsylvania.
It depicts a black soldier waving goodbye to Columbia, the white female personification of America, beneath a banner reading, "We Will Prove Ourselves Men."
It's one of 11 painted by David Bustill Bowser, the son of a fugitive slave. It's the only known surviving flag.
Center President and CEO Sheffield Hale said the flag "doesn't need words to tell you what it is and what it represents."

E-commerce is becoming an important factor in further driving fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) growth across major markets globally. View our webinar to explore the framework of 10 key drivers for e-commerce success and which combination of drivers are importance based on their respective markets.
Join our Nielsen Thought Leadership experts around our regions as they share global insights and regional examples as to why today's businesses need to revisit the definition of 'convenience' as more than a retail format and increasingly a consumer need.
Join our Nielsen Thought Leadership experts around our regions as they share their views on how organisations can progress with future focused conversations, how certain drivers of change will mean for businesses and what tools businesses can leverage to 'test the water' of their future operating environment.
Beyond in-store clinics and the traditional health care aisle of the store, a handful of departments should be top of mind for drug store retailers where more multicultural dollars are spent in comparison to non-Hispanic whites.
By mid-century, the U.S. will be a "majority minority" nation. By 2060, fewer than five in 10 will be white non-Hispanic. This level of demographic change represents a remarkable challenge for retail real estate investors, developers, advisers and retailers. It's also a remarkable opportunity.
A new Nielsen analysis looked at news consumption among African-American consumers and found that this is group is one of the most highly engaged with news content, across multiple screens.
African-American consumers are more relevant than ever in today's ever-shifting entertainment market—and their choices are affecting the whole entertainment industry. To capture this influential demographic's attention, marketers must understand African Americans' specific tastes and habits to provide content that best suits their interests and needs.
Today, Canada is home to 6.8 million foreign-born residents, and that shift is worth noting for any marketer interested in ways to make products and services that cater to Canada's evolving demographic landscape.
As the fastest growing multicultural segment in the U.S. with an outsized impact on the consumer marketplace, Asian Americans have emerged as a powerful economic force. The group's buying behaviors and viewing patterns, however, are different and unique from the total population.
Asian Americans have emerged as a powerful economic force. By building on the group's heritage, academic achievement, adaptability and spending clout, businesses can find considerable growth opportunities among these consumers.
Over 52 million strong, Latinos are affecting every aspect of the national landscape—pop culture, the workforce, consumption, politics and America's identity as a nation. And from Sept. 15 to Oct. 15, Hispanic Heritage Month recognizes and celebrates the Latino culture and heritage, as well as the contributions U.S. Hispanics have made to the nation.
As technology continues to shape the way consumers access entertainment, it's important to keep up with how Hispanics interact with TV programming, music, and games. Here, we take a look at some current trends and highlight why the entertainment industry should be taking notes.
Hispanics are avid moviegoers. They're also very adaptive in using new technologies and platforms, which puts them ahead of the curve when it comes to trying things like movies in the cloud and downloading movies.
With a current buying power of $1 trillion that is forecasted to reach $1.3 trillion dollars by the year 2017, the importance of connecting with African-American consumers is more important than ever. Importantly, these consumers are distinct from other consumer groups, and understanding them is critical to making lasting connections.
Hispanic women are a key growth engine of the U.S. female population and are expected to become 30 percent of the total female population by 2060, while the non-Hispanic white female population is expected to drop to 43 percent.
Hispanic women are gaining prominence in the U.S. and are becoming a strong influence on the mainstream economy. With 52 million in the U.S. population, Hispanics collectively have an impressive buying power of $1.2 trillion. Within the overall Hispanic demographic, however, Latinas are the ones in the driver's seat.
Consumer confidence declined in four of six Middle East and Africa markets in Q1 2013, reflecting negative sentiments about personal finances and job prospects.
The Latino population in the U.S. is growing—and in places many people might not be looking. In fact, it's only a matter of time before one of the growing Hispanic markets becomes the next Latino population center.
Reaching young adults requires understanding them, which is why getting to know them now can help solidify connections tomorrow.
Marketers keen to reach African consumers need to look beyond the obvious and explore innovative and persuasive ways to resonate with niche and mass audiences.

Welcome to the Broward County Housing Authority Partner Portal, a great tool for Housing Choice Voucher (Section 8) landlords to view their information with BCHA.
To log-on to Partner Portal, click here.
The Partner Portal will replace the way our landlords view their payment information for their HCV/Section 8 clients. Landlords will no longer receive a copy of the Direct Deposit Statement in the mail, or via email. All landlords are required to utilize direct deposit for their payments, as BCHA will no longer send checks to landlords. Direct deposit eliminates the printing and mailing of checks, and landlords receive their payments directly into their bank accounts with no delay. The Portal will contain payment information made AFTER June 1, 2013 and subsequent payments thereafter.
HQS inspection results and statuses can also be viewed on the Portal.
Only Housing Choice Voucher (Section 8) landlords already on the BCHA HCV program can create new accounts. To create an account, access the Partner Portal and at the first screen (the Log-In screen), click 'create an account'. Enter your Tax-ID in both boxes. The system will then validate the Tax-ID with the BCHA database. When validated successfully, the system will advance to the next screen. Information about your account from the BCHA database will display, such as your address, name, phone number. Enter a user ID and a password. All fields marked with an asterisk (*) are required fields and must befilled in. Submit your requestby clicking the 'create account' button. When your account has been created, you will receive a confirmation via email.
Here are ways to find information using the Partner Portal once you log in.

As part of our coverage of 2016 local elections, we have invited all candidates from Northfield district – Kings Norton, Longbridge, Northfield and Weoley wards – to send in 500 Words describing themselves and their campaign.
This from Steven Brookes, UK Independence Party (UKIP) candidate for Weoley ward:
I was born in Birmingham and have lived in the city for virtually all of my life. My parents were born in Birmingham too and still live here. I live on the border of Weoley, Bournville, and Northfield: whatever problems and issues Weoley residents have affect me and my family as well.
I work as a solicitor in Birmingham city centre for a major national business based in the city. In my professional career I have worked in regulation, education, for local authorities, and for various national and multi-national businesses.
Birmingham City Council under Labour, the Tories, and LibDems has failed this once great city. The old establishment parties try to pass the buck to each other for the mess the Council is in, but in reality they are all to blame through years of failure and incompetence, while we, the ordinary people of Birmingham, pay the price through cuts to services and increased Council taxes.
I believe things will not improve until we smash the hold that the old parties have on the Council.
Labour is torn by division as it drifts towards dangerous extremism and the fringes of our society. The Tories have long since ceased to provide any meaningful opposition to Labour in Birmingham.
I will fight to end political correctness at the Council: we must ensure that the city prioritises its own citizens first. Both Labour and Tories have been leading the charge to admit more and more refugees into Birmingham, but I believe that until every existing citizen of Birmingham of whatever colour, background, or religion, benefits from decent housing, schools, libraries and local amenities we simply cannot afford to spend endless amounts of money on welcoming more refugees for the sake of empty political posturing.
We must put a stop to the destruction of our green spaces through unlimited residential and commercial development. What future will our children have if there are no safe places for them to play in?
I will fight to ensure that local services are preserved, and that effective and regular refuse collection is maintained. Residents already pay Council Tax and we must fight the drift towards additional charging for existing services.
The Council wastes tens of millions on delusional projects like the Library of Birmingham, while at the same time cutting front line services. It simply cannot continue.
The city should be a pleasant and safe place for people to walk and cycle around, with improved public transport, but we cannot make the car our enemy. I will fight any move towards congestion charging and the destruction of our local economy through barmy eco-projects.
Tories, Labour and the LibDems have failed us. The Council is in massive debt, with cuts to front line services and job losses. But each year your Council tax goes up. You contribute more of your hard earned wages, and get less in return.
It is time to kick those responsible out of office, and time for a fresh start with UKIP.
