COVENTRY – A section of the Coventry Greenway bike path closed for construction on Monday and is expected to remain shut until well into 2013.
The 2.7 mile section from Station Street to the area of Town Farm Road were closed for renovation work, including new riding surface and the inclusion of a parallel equestrian riding trail.
The equestrian train will begin at the Coventry Greenway parking lot just west of the intersection of Route 117 and Abbotts Crossing.
The R.I. Department of Transportation also intends to build a shade platform adjacent to the bike path in Anthony village near the intersection of Pilgrim and Laurel avenues.
Also included in the project is a trail that connects the Greenway to Coventry's town hall and public library, a canoe/kayak launch upstream of Laurel Avenue Bridge and drainage repairs near Whitford Street and the West Warwick town line.
According to the Associated Press, the project will cost roughly $2.6 million and the closure will extend until summer 2013.

My son loves these Scallop Shape Madeleines. The moment when I told him that we are going to make a batch of his favourite Chocolate Chip Madeleines, he quickly gets his chair and stand-by at the counter top.
This recipe is good for those who can't consume any nut as part of the ingredient because this does not required any ground almond which is commonly found in most of the Traditional Madeleine recipes.
Ingredients: (makes 10)
90g Plain Flour
90g Caster Sugar
90g Butter, melted & cool
2 Eggs, 60g each
1 Tablespoon Dutch Cocoa Powder
30g Chocolate Chip, optional
1. Grease a madeleine pan by brushing it with melted butter.
2. Whisk eggs and sugar with a mixer for about 5 minutes or until thick and creamy.
3. Mix in the flour mixture (sift flour and cocoa powder together), stir till combined then mix in the melted butter.
4. Spoon the batter to the grease madeleine pan (remember don't over fill) and top with some chocolate chips.
5. Bake for roughly 10 minutes in a preheat 180 degree oven or until the cakes spring back when lightly press.
This recipe gives a very soft and moist chocolate chip madeleine due to the porpotion of the ingredients used compare to usual one that my son always purchased from that bakery. My motativation of making these came from the mini French Madeleines that my son bought from "Icing Room".

And so, numbering off my band of men at arms
into two platoons, I assigned them each a leader:
I took one and lord Eurylochus the other.
We quickly shook lots in a bronze helmet—
the lot of brave Eurylochus leapt out first.
So he moved off with his two and twenty comrades,
weeping, leaving us behind in tears as well
Deep in the wooded glens they came on Circe's palace
built of dressed stone on a cleared rise of land.
Mountain wolves and lions were roaming round the grounds—
she'd bewitched them herself, she gave them magic drugs.
But they wouldn't attack my men; they just came pawing
up around them, fawning, swishing their long tails—
eager as hounds that fawn around their master,
coming home from a feast,
who always brings back scraps to calm them down.
So they came nuzzling round my men—lions, wolves
with big powerful claws—and the men cringed in fear
at sight of those strange, ferocious beasts But still
they paused at her doors, the nymph with lovely braids,
Circe—and deep inside they heard her singing, lifting
her spellbinding voice as she glided back and forth
at her great immortal loom, her enchanting web
a shimmering glory only goddesses can weave.
Polites, captain of armies, took command,
the closest, most devoted man I had: "Friends,
there's someone inside, plying a great loom,
and how she sings—enthralling!
The whole house is echoing to her song.
Goddess or woman—let's call out to her now!"
So he urged and the men called and hailed her.
She opened her gleaming doors at once and stepped forth,
inviting them all in, and in they went, all innocence.
Only Eurylochus stayed behind—he sensed a trap
She ushered them in to sit on high-backed chairs,
then she mixed them a potion—cheese, barley,
and pale honey mulled in Pramnian wine—
but into the brew she stirred her wicked drugs
to wipe from their memories any thought of home.
Once they'd drained the bowls she filled, suddenly
she struck with her wand, drove them into her pigsties,
all of them bristling into swine—with grunts,
snouts—even their bodies, yes, and only
the men's minds stayed steadfast as before.
So off they went to their pens, sobbing, squealing
as Circe flung them acorns, cornel nuts, and mast,
common fodder for hogs that root and roll in mud.
Back Eurylochus ran to our swift black ship
to tell the disaster our poor friends had faced.
But try as he might, he couldn't get a word out.
Numbing sorrow had stunned the man to silence—
tears welled in his eyes, his heart possessed by grief.
We assailed him with questions—all at our wits' end—
till at last he could recount the fate our friends had met:
"Off we went through the brush, captain, as you commanded.
Deep in the wooded glens we came on Circe's palace
built of dressed stone on a cleared rise of land.
Someone inside was plying a great loom,
and how she sang—in a high clear voice!
Goddess or woman—we called out and hailed her
She opened her gleaming doors at once and stepped forth,
inviting us all in, and in we went, all innocence.
But I stayed behind—I sensed a trap. Suddenly
all vanished—blotted out—not one face showed again,
though I sat there keeping watch a good long time."
At that report I slung the hefty bronze blade
of my silver-studded sword around my shoulder,
slung my bow on too and told our comrade,
"Lead me back by the same way that you came."
But he flung both arms around my knees and pleaded,
begging me with his tears and winging words;
"Don't force me back there, captain, king—
leave me here on the spot.
You will never return yourself, I swear,
you'll never bring back a single man alive.
Quick, cut and run with the rest of us here—
we can still escape the fatal day!"

About the Fort Ord National Monument
Stewarded by FORT Friends
The Fort Ord National Monument, which was established by President Obama in April 2012, holds some of the last undeveloped natural wildlands on the Monterey Peninsula. Located on the former Fort Ord military base, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) protects and manages 35 species of rare plants and animals along with their native coastal habitats. Habitat preservation and conservation are primary missions for the Fort Ord Public Lands but there are also more than 86 miles of trails for the public to explore on foot, bike or horseback.

Frost-Bite Hazard - Young AvengersCharacters: Most of the YA rosterSummary: Accessories are nice and all, but you better watch what you wear when it gets cold outside. B&T focus.Word Count: 510It was going to be a white Christmas. That much was obvious from how much it snowed the weeks before, or at least - that's what everyone was hoping for. All the extra layers were worn, the heavy coats were pulled out of the closet, and all the possible accessories - especially the ones made of wool - were put to use. Venturing outside the house was done only when absolutely necessary, and was short and brief. Of course, when one was a superhero, especially bearing any variation of the title 'Avenger', you didn't always have the luxury to do so."Aaaa-choo!""Bless you.""Hurry up and close the door, I'm freezing!"The small group known as the Young Avengers retreated into the safety and relative warmth of their Lair, escaping the harsh weather outside. Even with the magical enhancements Wiccan appli
Putting You Back Together - Young Avengers fanficTitle: Putting You Back TogetherCharacters: Billy, TeddyTime-Frame: Right at the end of Family Matters.Summary: When the battle's over and the adrenaline rush dies down, Teddy has to come to terms with the truth about himself. Billy'd be damned if he let him go through that alone.Word Count: 1899At the end of every war, there's an aftermath. Sometimes you see it on the news, sometimes you hear about it from the survivors. Sometimes you never hear about it at all.But other times? Those times you were there, lived through it all, and had to find a way to put it all back together again - most likely on your own.It wasn't his own home Teddy came back to once both the Skrull and Kree armies were gone. He had nothing - no one - to come back to, after all. With Billy's own house destroyed, there weren't too many places they had left to go to, and so the night found the both of them taking refuge in the old Bishop publishing house they used as their Lair. It was for the best, he shouldn
Winter Day - Young AvengersCharacters: Billy, Teddy, TommySummary: When winter takes a break for an hour, everyone steps outside for a breath of fresh air, including three teens with the worst case of cabin fever ever.Word Count: 1003The snowstorm hit practically out of nowhere. The weather forecasts were contradictory on a regular basis, and people were left to fend for themselves. It's been going on for days, and cabin fever was becoming more common than the common cold."I need to get out of here." Was Teddy's conclusion after he finished yet another game.As school was out, there was only a set amount of homework they got off their plate before long. Not ones to waste time, they caught up on their comic reading, series-watching and even backlogs in both their RSS readers.Now, they might've had trouble, what with the storm constantly causing blackouts, but then again, that wasn't a problem when some of Billy's more basic powers were generating electricity, and wishing for things to work.It wasn't long be
It's all in the wrist - Young AvengersTitle: It's all in the wristWord Count: 405Time-Frame: Pre-seriesCharacters: Billy, TeddyThere was something very naughty to the way Teddy held Billy's hand during training. Now, naturally, there was very little naughty to the mere act of hand holding. It was sweet, and endearing, and Billy thought he could tell how Teddy felt about the world by how much pressure he applied at any given moment. It was adorable and all around innocent, but the fact they felt the need, even after officially hooking up, to keep Nate and Eli from seeing it made it feel dirty and forbidden and more exciting than it already was.Billy specifically liked it when they held hands when Teddy was in his Hulk-sidekick form. His hand was noticeably bigger, and easily closed around Billy's clenched fist. The firm hold made Billy feel small and yet secure, as though he couldn't drift away from Teddy even if he wanted to - the other simply wouldn't let him, and Billy was ok with
Bad Day - Young AvengersTitle: Bad DayCharacters: Teddy, BillySummary: In which it's one of the worst days in Teddy's life, but thankfully, there's one thing that can help - as soon as he gets back home.Word Count: 799It most certainly was not Teddy's day. It began with them sleeping in, given that he and Billy acted their gender and age and kept each other up the previous night. Now, they did manage to make it to school on time, mostly thanks to Billy's powers, but the morning rush left Teddy in a foul mood. He was less accepting of his classmates' antics, but that only marked him as more appealing a target, as they knew they'll be rewarded for their efforts with annoyance and maybe even rage.It was in that upset mindset that Teddy faced a pop-quiz in one of his most hated subjects. It was enough to make him decide to hold back the next time Billy tried to get him to study, and not seduce the mage instead (as fun as that was).Almost certain of his failure, Tedd
Hold me (until you feel better) - Young AvengersTitle: Hold me (Until you feel better)Characters: Hulkling, Wiccan.Summary: After the battle, all Teddy wants is to hold Billy close and prove to himself he's alright.Word Count: 670If there was one thing Teddy disliked, it was fighting not on the same group as Billy. He liked to think he didn't need the mage's help at all times, and could fight his own battles, so while it was useful to have him around, Teddy didn't see in it a necessity. That wasn't why he disliked it, not by a long shot.No, his disdain was made up of several other elements - like the fact that his boyfriend had a tendency to do stupid things even with him around, so much more when he was away. That was a prime one.It fueled the main reason why Teddy was anxious, being simply that he had no way of knowing whether Billy was safe or not. If you fought, you got hurt; neither had any delusions on the matter yet still fought willingly. But the thought that Billy was out ther
Trolling the Troll - Young Avengers ficTitle: Trolling the TrollCharacters: Tommy, Teddy, BillySummary: In which Tommy finally pushed hard enough to make Teddy and Billy shove back.Word Count: 1395It was supposed to be a quiet night at the Kaplans'. The younger siblings were at a friend's sleepover. The parents? Off to catch a show downtown. That left the house's eldest son, his boyfriend, and spiritual twin at home alone, each to their own devices. Now, usually, such a scenario was quite favorable - Teddy and Billy wanted to be together, preferably alone. Tommy usually wanted to be away from the two during what he referred to as 'mating season', and could care less about where that desire took him. Usually, the separate wishes worked well together, but unfortunately for the young couple, that wasn't to be a regular night. Be it from loneliness, any other need for attention, or simply boredom, Tommy refused to leave the two alone. He followed them around the house, through the living-r
Trouble Sleeping? - Young AvengersOTP: Billy/TeddyPrompt: Day 6 - Wearing Each Other's ClothesSummary: In which the two have to sleep alone for the first time in agesWord Count: 851Rebecca Kaplan was not someone you said 'no' to. Teddy learned that early on in his relationship with Billy, and this was even more evident after the Kaplans took him in. So when he brought home the forms from school regarding the annual class trip, listing what they were to do in each location, where they were to stay, and who concerned parents could contact, he figured he should've known better than to be hopeful.In all honesty, Teddy wasn't sure he wanted to go. His differences with certain classmates and basketball-team members aside, he disliked the idea of putting so much distance between himself and the rest of the Young Avengers, especially Billy.But between thinking that, and telling that to Billy's mom
"You're going." Rebecca concluded that evening over dinner when Teddy told the family about the
Anniversary - Young AvengersCharacters: Teddy, BillySummary: It's been one year since Teddy lost his mother - one year exactly.Word Count: 1657Warning: Based on personal experienceThe mobile device by the bed burst to life, vibrating and spewing out sounds almost demandingly, announcing its existence. One minute, two, and it fell silent, like a predatory animal, waiting for the next chance to strike at its prey. It was partially successful, as one of the two bodies on the bed began to stir, letting out sounds to indicate its dismay with being awake.He borrowed deeper under the covers for a moment before he reached for the phone. He let out a somewhat startled gasp once he saw the time, but relaxed the next moment once he regained a semblance of clarity. Right; they weren't late, just intentionally slept in. Because that day was
special. Billy had no other way to put it - it was special, for better - and worse. He carefully sat up and turned to look at
How Do You Know?Robin stood in front of his boyfriend Wally West's bedroom door, clutching the edge of his bright red pajama shirt tightly, biting his lower lip. He desperately wanted to go in, but not because he was feeling freaky that night, no. It was just one of those nights; a night where all the bad in your life hits you like a kick in the chest by an elephant, where you feel vulnerable and helpless, and you just want someone to hold you while you let it all out. He yearned to be enclosed in the wonderful embrace of his lover but he wondered to himself if Wally would try something more or shoo him away for disturbing his sleep. That was the last thing Robin wanted.But finally he decided that what would happen would happen and pushed open the door. He made sure not to make too much noise, closing the door behind without so much as a squeak. He quietly made his way over to the sleeping figure on the bed of his boyfriend. Robin took a moment to revel in the moment, enjoying watching the
By My Side Part 430 minutes later Wally was still staring at his open doorway, the image of Dick disappearing through it still stuck in his mind. The only person who would help him, the only person who cared enough about him the only person he wanted by his side right at that moment was gone. He didn't know when he'd come back or if he'd even come back at all. He'd pushed the boy beyond his limit, over the edge, and had drove him away. The wounded teen felt shame beyond compare."What have I done?" he asked himself, burying his face into his hands. "I'm so stupid."He leaned forward until his forhead rested just above his knees, firery hair brushing against the skin as more tears slipped silently through his fingers. All that he had been holding back came out in uncontrollable waves, shaking his body, numbing his pain. He stayed like that for so long this his perception of time became twisted and completely out of whack. Eventually he just stopped. No tears. No sobs. No cries. He raised his head slowly
Plans - Broken pt. 4Alfred's POVI am really not quite that surprised when Master Barry comed bounding through the door at top speed. Master Bruce saw him coming before he got within 20 feet so he was already there, grabbing the man by his uniform, ready to beat him within an inch of his life. I step in to intervene, stepping in between them, pushing against their figures, and trying to talk Master Bruce down. It takes about 15 minutes but I am successful in my task. I guide them down to the Batcave where they can talk about their business in a calm, professional manner. We all know what this is about and we are all ready to do whatever we can to fix this."Bruce, this is bad," Master Barry starts off."You think your end's bad?" Master Bruce counters angirly. I cannot blame him for saying it."Yes, I do, Bruce. I just fished my nephew who just jumped off the goddamn Central City Bridge a few minutes ago out of the damn water! Yeah, I think it's pretty f***ing bad!""My word!" I comment out loud. I
When You SleepAngelic.That was the only word that Wally could think of as he watched his little bird's sleeping, peaceful face. His eyes were lightly closed, long, black eyelashed brushing softly against his pale skin. His tiny red lips were parted slightly, a small sigh escaping from them with each relaxed exhale, his chest rising and falling in a steady rhythm. Between dangerous missions and a tedious school life it was no wonder that that the Dark Knight's prodigy was completely exhausted. The two teens had been sitting on Robin's bed, chatting away about guy stuff when the Boy Wonder had just closed is ocean-blue eyes and fallen into the world of dreams against the ginger's lean chest.Now the speedster just laid there, practically unmoving, sweeping raven-black strands of hair out of his lover's face. Mmoments like these were so rare and he truly cherished each one. The younger boy stirred a bit, letting out a small groan that was so adorable Wally could barely stand it.Why is h
BrokenAlfred's POVI know something is wrong as soon as I hear a crash. It's the sound of something breaking and I fear it's more than just a piece of fine china."Wally, wait! Please!"Not more than I second later, I see Master Wallace come storming into the main hallway from my perch on the stairs. I believe the proper word to describe his expression is "pissed off." And there's a hint of hurt as well. Young Master Richard is behind him, right on his heels, face apologetic and pleading."Wally, please!As Young Master Wallace wrenches open the door, Master Richard grabs hold of his shirt, hands trembling, and I am already making my way down the stairs."Let go of me, Dick.""No! Wally, please don't leave! I didn't mean it! I-""Enough." The red-headed boy pushes Master Richard's hands away and my suspicions are unfortunately confirmed correct. "I'm done. It's over."The door slams and not a second later, he's on the floor, sobbing."Good heavens!" is the only thing
Unable - Broken pt. 2Alfred's POVIt has been two weeks since that unfortunate day and it is taking its heavy toll on the manor. Master Richard is not sleeping at all. The only time he shuts his eyes is for brief moments in order to blink. He will not even go to lay in his bed, just sit on the couch or in the Batcave. He barely eats as well. The most I have seen him eat in these past few weeks is one bowl of tomato soup each day. I have to keep an eye on him more than usual in case he falls or collapses and requires medical attention. I must keep an eye on Master Bruce too. I have kept him from finding Young Master Wallace and torturing him until he dies a very painful death for about a total 30 times. It really is exhausting for me.Now I am walking down the stairs of the Batcave with some fresh, hot choclate prepared by myself, Master Dick's favorite, in the hopes that this will somehow warm his spirit. But deep down, I know it is all futile.He is in the Batman's Big Chair as ussal, blanket wrapp
AnythingWally sped towards Wayne Manor at top speed, feet pounding into the ground below him. He'd just gotten a call from Alfred, the butler asking him if he could come over because something was wrong with Dick. That was all he needed to hear. He hadn't even bothered putting the phone back onto its hook before rushing out the door, concern overtaking him. He reached his destination within seconds, grateful that the giant doors of the mansion were left wide open. He put on the brakes as saw Alfred standing at the bottom of the stairs leading to the bedrooms."What's wrong, Alfred? What happened?!" he asked the butler franctically."I don't really know, sir. Master Richard just came home wearing a big black coat and went up to his room, not saying a thing." Alfred's face fell with worry. "He's locked himself up in there and won't come down for anything-not even for food. Something's definitely happened to him but he won't talk to me. But maybe he'll talk to you."Wally nodded, determination cl
Young Love part 2Wally didn't know what to do after what just happened. He was just sitting there on the bed confused and worried about Robin. Then everything just hit him and he started crying. He felt he was responsible for what happened. If he just had chickened out none of this would have happened. His secret would have still been with him and Robin would not be in so much trouble.While he was crying his friends came into the room. They were really confused and worried about what was going on. Not to long before this Batman came to their base asking were Robin is. They all mumbled something about him being in his room. Five minutes later they see Batman literally dragging Robin kicking and screaming out of the base. They were just standing around the door watching Wally crying. They didn't know what to do or say.Megan couldn't stand to see him like that anymore. She walked up to him, sat next to him, and took him in her arms. She just rubbed his back trying to calm him down."Its ok Wally," Megan
InspirationWhy me?Being stuck with an English assignment is fine but having to write an entire short story in a week? That's impossible, even for me. And of all the genres, themes, and topics I could possibly get, I get Romance thrown at me. I can't write romance! That's, like, a girl thing!For the 10th time this afternoon I slam my head hard against the solid, glass coffee table in defeat. I have no inspiration whatsoever. Zero. Zip. Nada. I'm empty.How on Earth do people do this for a living?Then I hear the mansion's welcoming doorbell ring and Alfred's there in an instant, opening the door with a tiny smile."Welcome, Young Master Wallace. Here at 3:30 as usual.""Of course!"Wally walks in with a spring in his step and a giant grin on his face, freckled cheeks rising in joy. I sit up and lean back onto the back of the soft, leather couch with a small sigh. It's always great to see him and I love how even though he's late for everything else, he's never late to see me. As soon as he enters
Looks Can Be Deceiving - Young AvengeCharacters: Billy Kaplan/Wiccan, Teddy Altman/Hulkling, Kate Bishop/Hawkeye, Steve Rogers/Captain America, Tony Stark/Iron Man, various Avengers mentionedSummary: Everyone knows Hulkling is strong, and reliable, and sturdy, and capable. Unless you're Wiccan, and you know better.Word Count: 1218Wiccan sat silently and listened as Captain America revealed his plan. It was well thought out, and took into account each and every last superhero that answered his call to arms. Nothing was wasted, and one had to admire how well Cap made sure he knew everyone present so as to better put their abilities to use. He also knew about their affiliations and relations, thus refraining from putting together arch-rivals unless he had absolutely no choice.That was a good thing, however it did reflect on his level of objectivity, and much like how he didn't force people together unless he had to, it meant that for the good of the mission, he pulled others apart.Hulkling's

The wonderful £4000 winner of The Hospice Lottery's Summer Superdraw, Mrs. Walker from Kings Langley, was "over the Moon" to have won,
"I've never won this much before" she exclaimed as the cheque was handed over, "I'm so excited".
Mrs Walker has been playing the Hospice Lottery for over 4 years now after she was signed up by Membership Promotor, Peter Tarbox, at Sainsbury's in Apsley.
Her Husband was cared for at home by the Specialist Care team from one of HLP's partners, The Hospice of St Francis in Berkhamsted.
"He received such wonderful care from St. Francis, I was only too happy to sign up for the Lottery to give something back. I never thought I'd win anything, but as they say "If you aren't in it, you can't win it!"
As far as spending the winnings, Mrs Walker, who works at a local Bathroom and Kitchen hardware company, said
"Oh my son is getting married next year and I have said he can have some towards the reception. My other son is happy with that – provided I spend some of the money on myself!"
"It's funny, when you don't have much money you think 'Oo I'd love this or that' but when you actually get some you can't decide how to spend it!"
The only thing that is for sure as far as Mrs Walker goes, is that she wants extra tickets for the Winter Superdraw, because all her friends and colleagues want some.

Eastbound Interstate 70 near Zanesville was closed for several hours Sunday after a crash that killed two people, according to the Ohio State Highway Patrol.
The crash occurred at 2:20 p.m. on I-70 near the Norwich exit when a 1999 Ford Explorer was traveling westbound on the interstate.
According to the patrol, the vehicle went into the median, became airborne, overturned and traveled into the eastbound lanes of I-70.
One person was ejected from the vehicle, and another was partially ejected.
Both occupants died as a result of injuries sustained in the crash.
The victims were identified as 25-year-old Tamara Carnes, of Pittsburgh, and 27-year-old Omar Lawson, of McKeesport, Penn.
I-70 east was closed west of the crash scene for more than three hours during the investigation. Motorists were routed to state Route 40 as a detour.
The highway reopened at about 7 p.m.

Welcome to another week of Travel Photo Thursday. My mantra these days seems to be "I'm busy, I'm busy". :) Final exams begin today, and by next Wednesday my semester grinds to a screeching halt. Can you see me doing a little jig here? :) This weeks photos are from Buddhas's birthday bash in Seoul a few weeks ago. The Seoul Lantern Festival is one of the biggest festivals of the year in Seoul and in Korea. Festivities range over a period of about a week and range from lantern exhibits to dancing in the streets. These shots were taken at the Sunday market in front of Jogyesa Temple in downtown Seoul. Here, I found a bit of everything; ceremonies honoring Buddha, monks from around the world, dancing, and the list goes on. Buddha's Birthday follows the lunar calendar, and this year fell on Monday, May 28th.

Traditional hats…don't you just love them?!
Lanterns at the entrance to Jogyesa Temple.
This tree is directly in front of Joyyesa Temple, headquarters for Korea's Zen Buddhists. I have taken many photos of the tree over the years. Look at the tree trunk carefully. Does it remind you of the Buddha?
More beautiful lanterns; This is why it's called the Lantern Festival.
Peacefulness in the busy temple courtyard. The temple grounds were busy, but this shot would lead you to believe otherwise.
Fan dance rehearsal…My favorite traditional dance.
Monks from around the world were celebrating in Seoul.
This is "THE" festival of the year in Seoul and Korea. The date changes every year (although almost always in May), so be sure to check the dates before you make your travel plans to attend next years Lantern Festival.

I really like these shots, probably my favorite of your TPT sets. I was in Daegu last year for about two weeks but unfortunately was too busy there to go elsewhere.

I would love to go to Korea just to see this festival in person. Such festivities and all those colorful lanterns would be wonderful to see in person. Those hats are great! Beautiful pictures, Nancie.
Mary recently posted…Photo Post: Where have you taken a nap while traveling?
The photos are so beautiful and colourful! The lanterns are stunning – it must take ages to hang them all. My favourite photo is the one of the traditional hats. Are they painted or embroidered?
Really love the colors of the lanterns. Your shot of the tree is enough to make me want to pack up and go there! But very nice suggestion to visit during the lantern festival. That's something to look forward to next year.

Thanks for the reminder. I missed Buddha's birthday but, the guy still smiles !

Adoption Decisions: Attorney or Agency?
Tips to help you start the adoption process
Next Steps: Open or Closed Adoption
Once you decide who will help you, you should consider the type of adoption arrangement with which you are most comfortable. Keep in mind that adoption is an emotional process for all parties; therefore, there are many degrees of openness. Birth parents frequently elect to meet the prospective adoptive family prior to birth or placement of the child. This does not mean the birth mother will need to know the last name, address, or other identifying information of the adoptive parents — or vice versa. Keeping in mind human curiosity as well as the need to comfort a birth parent with the personal knowledge you will provide a stable, loving, and secure environment for her child, you must determine how much contact is enough or too much.
While we still hear of closed adoptions with birth parents simply trusting the attorney or agency to find an appropriate home for the child, more frequently birth parents want to be involved in determining where and to whom the child goes. Making a plan and choosing a family may help them to overcome feelings of guilt or abandonment resulting from the relinquishment of the child. Pictures and or update letters sent through the attorney/agency in the future may also help with the grieving process.

A scuffle at the Bay Village townhomes led police to issue two domestic violence citations early Friday morning.
Whitefish Bay police responded to a report of domestic violence in the 200 block of Chateau Place at 12:46 a.m. Friday. The fight allegedly started after the 23-year-old woman and 33-year-old man living in one of the townhome units drank a bottle of E&J brandy together, and the woman checked her Facebook page.
The man believed she was using Facebook to contact her ex-boyfriend, so he threw her laptop on the ground, disconnecting the screen from the keyboard. The woman asked her boyfriend to reimburse her for the damage, and when he refused, she kicked his television. The man then tackled her, put his forearm to her jaw area but then released when she tried to bite him.
The room was in disarray when police arrived, with a couch standing upright on its side and computer parts strewn about the floor. In the middle of the debris was a three-month-old infant sleeping in a baby swing. When the woman was being arrested, she refused to cooperate with officers and screamed at them.
Whitefish Bay police recommended criminal charges for domestic violence, but the Milwaukee County District Attorney's office declined to issue charges. An assistant district attorney said he was going to advise the Milwaukee Bureau of Child Welfare about the incident.
In other Whitefish Bay police reports:
- Someone used chocolate syrup to draw a smiley face on the hood of a 2011 red Chevy Camaro parked in the 5500 block of Hollywood Avenue. The vandalism occurred sometime between 6 p.m. and 8:40 p.m. on Jan. 25. No permanent damage was done to the vehicle.
- Three bottles of vodka were stolen from CVS Pharmacy at 7:32 p.m. Jan. 26. The suspect took the bottles, threatened employees and then fled westbound on Hampton in an older, blue Toyota Corolla.

Ethics And Wellbeing: Analysis Of Administration Staff Opinions In Universities Of Portugal, Cape Verde And Great Britain
AbstractContemporary organizations are seeing an increase in their competitiveness due to the fundamental role work ethic is performing. Normal work ethic guiding principles should be applied in the quotidian life in organizations through consistency and integrity. Nonetheless, at times failures are evident in this work-life balance. But, these are often seen as gaps in achieving this balance which produce direct and immediate effects both upon returns on invested and on the actual organizational behaviour, such as the level of loyalty of employees and the consumers' preferences as well. The sum of all effects is reflected upon sales, on the company's results and its performance as well. In relation to its strategic importance, an ethical approach should be achieved through an organizational environment which nurtures the responsibility of its employees. Furthermore, this organizational climate and more importantly, managers as such, should steer and also challenge individual employees to demonstrate attitudes and practices which are in tune with the organization. In this regard, a questionnaire will be applied in three international universities, the University of Minho in Portugal, the University of Glamorgan in Wales and University Jean Piaget in Cape Verde. Our aim is to do a tripartite analysis and to compare the results.

Attendance: Please report planned absences in advance. Students' guardians must submit a written note promptly after a student absence in order for the absence to be excused.
Contact: Mrs Johnson, 253-945-5603
Dear Parent/Guardian:
Regular school attendance and participation is essential for your student's mastery of the educational program. There are also state laws that require that all children under the age of 18 attend school every day.
The Thomas Jefferson High School student handbook outlines our school attendance policies and procedures. This letter is to clarify and highlight some of those policies and procedures so that you have a better understanding of how they work, and you know who to communicate with whenever issues or questions arise.
Tardy Policy (As it appears in the Student Handbook/Planner, page 21)
- If a student arrives less than ten minutes late to class, they will go directly to class and will be marked tardy.
- If a student arrives ten minutes after the bell has rung, they will be marked as absent, until they check in at the attendance office before going to class.
- Repeated tardiness will be subject to disciplinary action.
Excused Absences or Tardies
- A parent or legal guardian may excuse absences or tardies by writing a note or by phoning the attendance office at 253-945-5603 with the reason for the absence, name of the parent, and a daytime telephone number.
- Students with continuous tardies or absences, excused or unexcused, may be required to attend a conference with their parents and an administrator.
- Absences not covered by a telephone call or parental note within 2 school days of the absences will be deemed unexcused.
Off campus passes/Early dismissal
- Off-campus passes are to be pre-arranged and taken care of on student time (before school, during lunch, or after school).
- Students who must leave the school campus during the school day for any reason MUST SIGN OUT THROUGH THE ATTENDANCE OFFICE PRIOR to leaving campus.
- A parent may check their student out of school with a written note. If a parent shows up to remove their student from school, they will be required to show their ID.
I received a phone call that my student was tardy or absent, but my student says he/she was present
- Have your student go to the attendance office, where they will receive a print-out of that particular absence. The student will then take the print-out to their teacher for correction, if it was in error. Return the corrected print-out to the attendance office for update in the system.
My student is sick and needs to go home
- If your student is sick, they must notify their teacher, go to the nurse and the nurse will contact a parent/guardian for pick-up. THE STUDENT SHOULD NOT TEXT OR CALL PARENTS FROM THE CLASSROOM.
Thank you for your cooperation with these policies and procedures. Please call the attendance office at
253-945-5603 if you have any questions.
Paul Lagerstedt, Dean of Students
It is important in any educational program that students be punctual and regular in their attendance. State law also mandates attendance through the BECCA process. The education process requires continuity of instruction and classroom participation which is lost with excessive absences. Regular attendance also establishes habits of punctuality and dependability, qualities that will be valuable to students throughout their adult lives.
Home instruction is available for students with a medically prescribed confinement that will be of one month duration or longer which is verified by a physician (P & R 5113, RCW 28A.27.010).

I am using the Application.Invoke() method on 2011+ and am finding it to not work well other than from the command line of a single document.
When I declare a Commandflag.Session flag for my command, and try calling Invoke using more than one parameter on a new drawing where the command was not run from, it bombs out.
So, Drawing1.dwg - Run command
A new Drawing2 is opened, saved, and Invoke called to run some LISP, it will fail.
Does anyone have experience with this?
I did read somewhere that Invoke() may need to be run from a Document context. Does that exclude the Session flag?
Forget it
Using the Interop DLL's and SendCommand will work synchronously if CommandFlag.Session is used.

Hellenic Polytheist. Layman. Worshipper of all the Theoi. British. Academic. Book Hoarder. Chronic Tea Drinker. Floral Fanatic
Galla: These demons were never alive. Not in the same way as mortals that is to say. They have no concept of mercy, and cannot be bribed. They do have a concept of justice however. Their goal seems to be to get as many dead for the underworld as they can by whatever means they can.
This form of demon may not have a concept of mercy, but they do know the meaning of justice. Their duty is to maintain the laws of the underworld by whatever means they can. It is their duty to prevent physical escapes from the underworld, to maintain the laws protecting the rights of the dead in the underworld, and carry out the will of Ereshkigal.
They were dangerous, and occasionally rebellious. In a way they were something like bounty hunters. Even so, they were one of a few types of demon that were welcome to eat at the table of Enlil. (God of rain, wind and air)
Mashkimu: Underworld inspector.
Like the Galla, Maskim were underworld demons. Like the Galla, they were integral in the upkeep of the laws of the underworld. Unlike the Galla, they were tied more closely to the laws of the underworld than to the underworld itself.
Unlike many other vampiric creatures, the Maskim do not need to resort to sneaking up on their prey. Maskim can simply rip down the walls of a house and consume all that they find inside. They are demons of a much higher order than their underworld kinsmen.
Gidim: Encroaching darkness, hungry ghost.
Their name can be translated to encroaching darkness, hungry ghost, demon, or a hand full of other similar titles. The specifics are different, but the general points are the same. These are spirits who have the ability to consume the living in some way.
Not all dead who return to drink the blood of the living do so as a physical being. Gidim are walking shadows that consume the living leaving bruising upon the neck. They can possess a mortal by entering the ear, and so powerful charms are occasionally placed upon earrings to protect against them.
Gidim are ghostly demons who are often prevented from entering the land of the dead for one reason or another. This might be simply because they cannot offer gifts to each of the gate keepers, or be something far worse such as a profound hatred of some or all of the living. The journey back to the land of the living is difficult, but it can be done by a determined spirit, or on certain sacred days.
Not all Gidim are hostile towards the living. In the month of Ne Izi Gar ghosts return to the land of the living to visit their departed loved ones. They are welcomed with a number of festivals at this time. Also at this time the Gidim of hostile sorcerers are said to return. These ghosts can take the living and cause them several kinds of harm.
Two things seem to separate good Gidim from harmful ones. The harmful ones drink blood, and stay around longer. This makes sense when you consider that the dead need blood, the essence of life, to retain a link to the world of the living.
A final thing that should be remembered when looking at the Gidim are the sorcerers. These fall under those capable of great harm. They are certainly considered to have powerful spirits, but they can't be considered to be universally harmful. In their way they typify all Mesopotamian demons. They are not good or evil by nature, but rather do what they do because of who they are as individuals.
Udug: The Udug demon is a generalized demon. Udug seems to be a generalized word for demon. Asag, Galla, and many other demons can be grouped under this term.
The term Udug Hul is often translated as evil demon, but it more properly refers to a hostile demon. All demons have a good side and a bad side even if we do not know everything about the demon. If you are on the receiving end of a demon's bad side then that demon is an Udug Hul.
Asag: Griffin like desert demon. The Asag is a man with wings and often a birds head.
In the Sumerian poem Lugale, the Asag is a monstrous demon who is defeated by the god Ninurta/Ningirsu (God of the south wind, irrigation and coppersmiths. Also a hunter and a warrior deity.) The Asag was hideously repulsive in appearance and his power caused fish to boil alive in the rivers. He was born from the mating of An (the father of the gods) and Ki (primordial earth), and the Asag himself mated with the kur (mountains) to produce offspring. He was accompanied by an army of stone allies (the stones of the mountains).
Lilitu: Owl like wind demon known for killing infants and mothers.
Lilith is the Babylonian name simply identifying her as a specific Lilitu demon. Lilitu demons first show up in the Gilgamesh myths. In the Sumerian version of these myths no specific demoness is mentioned, but in the later Babylonian versions she is always called Lilith.
She is a Lilitu demon, but what is a Lilitu demon? Lilitu demons tell us a lot simply in their name. "Lil" means wind, "itu" means moon. Moon wind together, however, means owl. The Mesopotamian screech owl is a creature that glides silently on the wind with a moon like, disturbingly human, face. They are disturbingly large and carry off the young of various creatures.
In Gilgamesh, the Liltu demoness was living in a tree and acting much like a harpy. This type of wind spirit is a female who preys upon the lives of babies and expecting mothers. Gilgamesh frightened it away with his enchanted Ax of the Road after killing a snake monster.
Lilitu were one group of a triumvirate of demons. Lilitu and Ardat Lili, meaning maiden lilu, are female groups of demons, and Lilu are male. Each of them preys upon a select type of victim. The shared lil prefix in each of their names tells that they are each wind demons.

Performance assessment of secondary schools: the snapshot of a country taken by DEA
AbstractThis paper describes a performance assessment of Portuguese secondary schools using data envelopment analysis (DEA). The assessment adopts a perspective where schools are viewed as promoting students achievement given their characteristics in terms of academic abilities and socio-economic background. Our sample comprised all secondary schools in Portugal with both basic and secondary education levels. Two types of DEA analysis are performed: one using an output-oriented model that restricts output (exam scores) weights to be linked to the number of students that have done that exam in the school, and the other using a model that restricts factor weights to be equal for all schools. In this model the weight restrictions are linked to the total number of exams done nationally. The first model is well suited for identifying worst performing schools and to assess schools that may specialize in certain subjects, whereas the latter is best suited for improving discrimination between best performing schools when pursuing the identification of benchmarks, as well as to construct performance rankings.

Vic makes Kellin angry. (PTV/SWS) *not Kellic*
Katelynn Quinn thought that her times sneaking into the house late at night had ended during her teenage years, but that was apparently not the case.
The house was dark; Copeland was definitely fast asleep, if it was this late at night. There were no sounds, no lights on, Katelynn noticed as she entered the living room.
Huh/, she mused to herself, /I think Kellin must be asleep right n-
"Hello, Katelynn."
The lights in the living room flickered on. Katelynn screamed as she saw the younger man sitting on the couch.
"So, Katelynn," Kellin began. "Where've you been all night?" His eyes were wide, nearing the brink of insanity.
Katelynn checked her phone. "It's only 11:48."
Kellin continued to stare at her with a suspicious expression. "Riiiight. '11:48' you say? I CALL BULLSHIT!!!" He stood, slowly making his way over to her.
"It's really 11:48 though."
"Okay, okay. Say it really is, '11:48'. You have been out this late each Saturday for several weeks now. What's up with that?" Kellin's face was now inches away from Katelynn's, a single eyebrow raised quite comically, but in his case, what he thought was extremely serious.
His wife shrugged. "I've been out with friends. You know that Saturday is Girls' Night Out!"
Both of Kellin's eyebrows rose, along with his chin, as he stalked backwards back to the couch. "Right, right. Because of course you and your friends haven't grown fucking sick of each others' faces yet, /of course/."
Katelynn's face wrinkled in annoyance yet she decided to let that statement go.
"So tell me," Kellin continued, "Why you smell like tacos!"
Katelynn's eyes widened.
"GUILTY!" Kellin screamed manically.
"I FUCKING ATE TACOS FOR DINNER, KELLIN!" she screamed in response. "And what do you mean, /guilty/?"
Kellin's eyes narrowed. "You know who I'm talking about. The Mexican!"
"Yes! Him! Answer me! Tacos are his natural scent! Now tell me, why is the scent of tacos smeared all over your body?!"
Katelynn gaped. "You... you think... you think I'm cheating on you with Vic?!"
Her husband nodded harshly. Then he broke down into tears. "I've seen all the signs!" he bawled. "You're growing so distant from me, you always disappear on a certain night of the week and I trust you but I never know where you are and we hardly ever have sex ever since Copeland was born and it's because he's older than me isn't it!"
"I... what the fuck?"
"HE'S OLDER THAN ME!" Kellin wailed. "And you're older than me... like, what are you even doing with a guy like me?" His eyes were brimming with tears.
Katelynn was shocked. So she hugged him. "Shh... you're perfect, okay? I love you, Kellin."
His sniffles quieted and she rubbed soothing circles on his back. "Come on, let's sit down first."
The couple settled down on the couch. "I am not cheating on you with Vic, or anyone," Katelynn informed Kellin. "I would never cheat on you." He beamed.
"But, I have something to tell you."
Kellin's face fell. "Okay... lay it on me, then."
"I smell like tacos because... for the past few weeks I've been meeting Vic every Saturday night to eat Mexican food."
Kellin jumped up. "WHAT?!"
Katelynn nodded, took a deep breath, and continued. "Vic makes really good burritos, too."
Kellin was distraught. "But... but... I can make burritos for you!"
The older woman turned her face away, ashamed. "Not like he can."
Kellin screamed and paced around the room. "I'm... I'm gonna..." he panted. "I'm gonna kill myself! With fire! After I kill that Mexican!"
Katelynn sighed and rubbed her forehead.
"I'm never gonna do guest vocals on another fucking Pierce The Veil song ever! And he won't to guest vocals on a single Sleeping With Sirens song if I have any damn thing to do with it!"
"And I'm gonna take his fucking burritos and shove them up his fucking ass! Oh! Bet he won't see that coming, would he?"
"Kellin, shut up!" It had no effect. Kellin continued ranting.
The doorbell rang.
Kellin shook his head angrily and ranted all the way to the door. He opened it mindlessly. "WHAT?!"
A small Mexican man, Victor Vincent Fuentes, stood on his porch. Before Kellin could register what was happening, Vic had silently placed an enchilada in Kellin's mouth.
The anger on Kellin's expression faded. "That's... that's good. Really good."
Vic placed a finger to Kellin's lips. "Shh, shh shh," he said softly. He moved his finger under Kellin's jaw. "Chew." He pushed the jaw up and down, aiding Kellin's chewing. "Swallow."
He stood silently in anticipation as Kellin's eyes widened in wonder and amazement. A strange thing happened.
Kellin's heart slowly began beating to the music of a distant mariachi band. His vocal cords rearranged themselves, and a mustache began to grow on his face.
Vic sprinkled him with fresh lime juice. "I now baptize you as Beatus Quinn," he said mystically.
Beatus turned around to face a very confused Katelynne.
"See, this is the kind of shit Vic pulls!" Kellin said all of a sudden, angrily. Vic was laughing, doubled over and clutching his torso, red in the face. Katelynn just looked cometely bewildered, glancing between each of the two boys with "what the fucking hell," written on her face.
"I'm going to bed," she announced loudly. Kellin continued yelling about killing Vic and Vic writhed on the floor, howling with laughter. Katelynne left the room, shaking her head and yawning.
Kellin fumed until Vic calmed down, his breath slowing down and his grin fading into a smile.
"You want some tacos?" he asked. Kellin threw him an evil look, then his resolute expression softened and he replied, "... Sure."
lol idk where im going with this

ROCHESTER, Minn. (KTTC) -- Two women were arrested during a prostitution bust Friday evening.
Police say they arrested 20-year-old Emily Elton of St. Paul at a motel in Southeast Rochester around 5:40 p.m.
Police say an undercover officer had been in contact with Elton, who had placed an online ad for her escort services.
After an agreement involving sex for money was made, police arrested Elton for prostitution in a public place and not having an escort license.
Meanwhile, police say they arrested 19-year-old Alexandra Scott, from Dayton Minnesota in the parking lot of the motel.
Police say cell phones and documents indicate the two were working together.
Scott was charged with sex trafficking in the 2nd degree.

Degree opens doors for students who are not able to study on campus full-time
Wednesday, November 21, 2012
Students gather for a three-week residency on campus per year and work individually with faculty mentors, allowing access to advanced study for working adults.
The Expressive Therapies Division at Lesley University - home to the first Ph.D. in Expressive Therapies and one of the most recognized Expressive Therapies programs in the world - provides a meaningful connection between the arts, theory and practice in clinical training, and prepares expertly qualified providers of mental health services.
To make this transformative Master's program accessible to more students, Lesley has introduced the new low-residency option, which is ideal for students who are not able to get to campus on a weekly basis. The Low-Residency M.A. in Expressive Therapies welcomes students to Lesley's campus in Cambridge, Massachusetts, for summer residencies. Between residencies, students continue their studies online with the Lesley faculty and through supervised field experience in their home communities.
"Lesley students have enjoyed great success in low-residency models in other disciplines, including our Ph.D. in Expressive Therapies," said Dr. Mitchell Kossak, the program's Division Director. "Expressive therapies evolved on Lesley's campus and continues to have a powerful impact on people's lives. By providing a means towards a master's degree that's accessible for more people, we look to enhance the number and quality of practitioners in the field."
Lesley's Expressive Therapies program exposes students to multiple art modalities in support of Lesley's belief that all the arts in psychotherapy enrich expressive therapists, including visual arts, dance, drama, poetry, literature and music. The new Low-Residency Master's Degree in Expressive Therapies is available for the expressive arts (intermodal), art, dance, and music therapy specializations.
Lesley is now enrolling for the new low-residency master's degree in Expressive Therapies. Expressive Therapies applications will be reviewed on a space-available basis. All applicants are strongly encouraged to submit their applications as soon as possible. Please note, International Applicants must complete their application by March 1. For more information contact the Office of Graduate Admissions at 617.349.8300 or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com.

This development in Hungary is a remarkable change of the tide. I analysed the 10 German articles that led to Hungary Sheds Bankers' Shackles in the American Free Press.
What I find most interesting is:
- the 'F U' to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) is accompanied by a media law – to report with 'political balance';
- the controversy in political circles includes the EU;
- most German mainstream media articles illustrate the lack of understanding of the creation of money, but hone in on highly charged emotive words;
- the English speaking mainstream media are silent;
- if only the UK Government had its electorate in mind, it would bring back the Bradbury Pound by the time of its 100th anniversary on 7 August 2014!

13.03.07 - Esham Pickering intends to win back the British Super-Bantamweight Title at the prestigious Norfolk Showground on Friday night to show he deserves a rematch with either Michael Hunter or Bernard Dunne. Newarks former European champion faces Barking challenger Marc Callaghan (19-10-1) for the title on the Hennessy Sports and GoldenPalace.com The Showdowns @ The Showground event being shown live by Sky Sports. Their championship is co-main event along with British lightweight champion Jonathan Thaxtons first defence against Scott Lawton in font of his loyal hometwon fans.
Pickering is convinced he is world title material despite setbacks to Hartlepool hero Hunter a hotly disputed points decision for the British, Commonwealth and European belts in October 2005 and Dunne, the Irishman who earned an unanimous decision over him to win the European crown in November.
Pickering returned to winning ways when he out-pointed Frenchman Frederic Gosset over six rounds at the Alexandra Palace in January
Marc is an experienced boxer, better than his record suggests and he gave Hunter two good fights so Im expecting a real fight, said Pickering.
All my strengths will tell on the night and prove that Im the best super-bantamweight in Britain and ready for bigger fights.
I would love revenge over Hunter and Pickering. I still feel I won that fight with Hunter and its held up my career. I put him down twice in rounds one and two, and I know he has stepped up to featherweight, but I would fight him at the weight so long as I get the chance.
Ive got no excuses for Dunne. It was overwhelming boxing over there, but I chucked it away.
He didnt beat me up, he just out-boxed me later on. I had been inactive for a while before and that didnt help.
Hes a good boxer but I can beat him and I want that chance again. I could have won that fight and it was never out of my reach. After six rounds it was very tight.
"A lot of people have written me off because I have been beaten at European level, but it wasn't like I was out of my depth. I would love to get revenge over those two and I have great belief I will be world champion one day.

For more information about the Diversity Funds, please contact Adrienne Andrews, Coordinator of the Center of Diversity and Unity.

This storm system is one to watch unfold - there are so many components to it that it's making my head spin! But in a good way - sort of. You have the southern stream storm getting eaten away by dry air, the northern stream storm making its way slowly across the Midwest/Ohio Valley, and a phasing event that we're waiting for. Oh yea, and the monster coastal storm that will occur after phasing.
Sometimes it's just easier to know that you're going to get a ton of snow rather than playing with the idea of an inch or two. And sometimes the weather & computer models just cooperate more. Other times, like this system - not so much.
What has changed since the last blog:
Timing - It's been driving us crazy!
While it looks as though we could still have some isolated snow showers early Tuesday, any moderate snow that we receive looks to start around the evening rush hour (~4pm) and last until about 9pm. The systems as a whole have slowed down significantly over the past few hours and that has pushed our onset time back. The latest model runs show the systems phasing around 0z, or 7pm EST. This will definitely be something to watch as you will be able to see the energy transfer via radar.
Keep in mind that the actual forecast hasn't really changed for the area - we're still expecting less than 2 inches total (although Frederick/Clarke counties may receive an additional inch). Some areas may receive a dusting - it will be VERY hit or miss.
I'm not expecting schools to cancel or delay Tuesday because of this event (sorry kids & teachers) but if you're going to be out after 4pm, I would bring snow boots along. This may not even be a plowable snow in some areas, so please be aware of icing.
Wednesday may be a little slick as well. With temperatures stay at or just above freezing this week, constant melting and refreezing is possible.
Looking at the current NWS graphic (www.weather.gov) you can really see what I mean about the "black hole" of snow. There are warnings and advisories all around us, but unfortunately, we're not going to be getting much out of this one. It's the nature of this storm setup - we're in between the storms themselves and by the time they phase, they're north of us.
Did you know that Atlanta has more snow for the season than Harrisonburg? That just doesn't seem right!
Will update Tuesday morning - remember to ask questions/comment!

Throughout much of the last six years, homeowners have had no choice but to respond to the whims of buyers, by either selling their properties at a loss or sitting on them until prices begin to climb again. Now, the power seems to be shifting back into the hands of buyers, as heightened competition among buyers has many homeowners salivating at the possibilities of selling their properties.
A Bloomberg Businessweek story published late last week detailed the problems sellers are currently having due to low inventory numbers. After years of desperation from cash-strapped buyers, economic conditions have improved enough that many of them are now able to offer well beyond asking prices in order to ensure that a deal goes through.
Part of this current market condition – although not in all markets – is attributable to low inventory numbers, which may actually start to improve as more foreclosed properties go on the market.
Low inventory numbers have compelled some desperate buyers to take alternate measures to ensure that they get the properties they want. The Minneapolis Star Tribune recently detailed the plight of buyers in the Minnesota area who turn to homes that are not yet even on the market to fulfill their property needs.
"There is a shadow market out there with a lot of people who want to sell," local real estate broker Joe Grunnet told the newspaper. "[Homeowners] just don't know they can sell in this market. They still think the world is coming to an end."
Although home sales are expected to increase, those homeowners who are unable or unwilling to sell their properties should look to a Utah mortgage company that can help them refinance as a means to make their homes more affordable. Similarly, consumers planning on buying a home in Utah can use this real estate expert to find properties that may not be readily accessible to all buyers.
