Build a Strong Portfolio With Home Building Companies
By Madhukar Dubey - August 14, 2013 | Tickers: HOV, KBH, SPF
The US census Bureau estimates the number of privately-owned housing constructions to be around 1,036,000 this year, up from 780,600 last year. The primary driver for housing is employment, which has improved over the years. The U.S. unemployment rate has declined to 7.5%, as of April, from as high as 10% in 2009.
The increase in housing demand has created a supply shortage due to more »
Could Silicon Valley Cause a Housing Bubble?
By Gerelyn Terzo - August 1, 2013 | Tickers: HOV, LEN, RYL
California is one of the hottest spots for real estate now, and prices are rising at some of the highest rates in the country. It's all about psychology, said economist Robert Shiller in a recent CNBC interview. For all we know, it could be the Silicon Valley effect considering the number of tech companies located in the area. The point is there's no real explanation for it and more »
Is There an Opportunity to Invest in Housing?
By Shweta Dubey - July 22, 2013 | Tickers: BZH, HOV, KBH
The U.S. housing market is recovering from the housing crisis that began seven years ago. Due to strong demand, short supply, low mortgage rates, and an improving job market, demand for houses has increased. Housing prices rose 12.2% in May, year-over-year, which has created favorable conditions for the homebuilders. The improving U.S. homebuilding market will help housing companies enhance sales, average selling prices, and capability to maintain more »

The Best Way to Ride the Booming Housing Industry
By Piyush Arora - April 28, 2013 | Tickers: BZH, HOV, KBH
Thanks to the Fed's liquidity injections and dipping unemployment rate in a low interest rate environment, real estate in the U.S. is booming again and new home constructions have reached their five year highs. Naturally, investing in loan financing institutions would've been a wise choice, but the 11.2% decline in Wells Fargo's loan originations is an indicator of a weakening loan refinancing industry. Thus, investing more »
Housing Stocks Are in a Trot
By Gerelyn Terzo - March 11, 2013 | Tickers: HD, HOV, LOW
Returning stability to the housing market doesn't mean diddly if Warren Buffett decides to undermine that recovery. Mr. Buffett's comments on a recent CNBC interview, however, weren't too scathing - although they were still sobering. He reminded starry-eyed investors that the housing market is not "galloping back" but it is "improving." Housing stocks may not be in a comeback of thoroughbred proportions but at least they are trotting more »

By Robert Anders - February 5, 2013 | Tickers: BRK-B, BRK-A, HOV
We have all seen housing prices plummet since 2008 after the housing bubble collapsed upon itself. Leading to the 2008 bubble, lenders were willing to lend to anyone, allowing people with any credit history and any income level the ability to qualify for a mortgage and buy a house. This availability of money drove demand higher which took prices with it. This article will not discuss why banks were willing more »

How to Build a House of Stocks
By Spencer Knight - December 12, 2012 | Tickers: HOV, LEN, PHM, TOL |
Less than a decade ago far too many individuals purchased homes – or more realistically rented homes from the bank – as if they were objects and this in part caused the housing bubble that triggered the worst recession we have ever seen. Subsequently, home prices declined anywhere from 30%-60%.
Fortunately investors that take advantage of home building stocks before the train leaves the station will be rewarded over the next more »

Deja Vu for Housing

To cite a phrase coined by Yogi Berra, it could be "deja vu all over again" for the housing industry. According to a recent article in American Banker, a housing bubble may be in the cards -- this time in the multi-family, rental market.
Said bubble may be driven by several familiar factors: a surge in construction, albeit this time in multi-family homes amid declining inventories; the return of real estate more »

Kalamazoo, MI (WKZO) – This wasn't exactly the way Coach Steve Hawkins wanted to clinch his sixth MAC West Division title but he'll take it. However, don't expect him to celebrate his team's accomplishments for a few days.
"It's not the way we envisioned winning the title but I didn't envision losing my hair at a young age either, so you deal with it, that's the way it is," Hawkins said jokingly after the Broncos were defeated by Ball State 89-85 on Tuesday but still were able to secure WMU's seventh overall MAC West Title with Eastern Michigan's loss to Central Michigan.
"Right now, it's not like I'm going to jump for joy. At some point and time, it's not going to be tonight, and it won't be too long, we will feel really good about a team that was expected to do nothing! We'll feel very good about what they were able to accomplish. I'm very proud of them, disappointed in the outcome for the game, but very proud of them."
And his feelings should be mixed after the performance his team showed on the court against the Cardinals. While the final score will forever show the Broncos only losing by four, all those in attendance will remember a different game. WMU trailed Ball State by double figures for 22 of the final 24 minutes due to 54% free throw shooting, and getting outrebounded by nine by a Cardinals team that wasn't known for their rebounding skills. But Hawkins thinks it was mostly due to poor focus.
"Our concentration, that was the story of the game. We didn't do well from free throw line to free throw. We weren't getting back and allowed them way too many shots. We weren't matched up and you can't do that right now because of the way they are running."
Shayne Whittington scored a career high 28 points and grabbed 12 rebounds for his 10th double-double of the season. Whittington had only nine and three in the first half, as the Broncos were down 40-28 at halftime. The Paw Paw native also recorded three blocks, upping his season total to 47, and is now only nine shy of the school record set by Matt Van Abbema in '93-94.
Before fouling out, Austin Richie scored 15, including ten during the final 2:46 of the game, in which the Broncos outscored the Cardinals 25-13. WMU was able to get the game to within three at 84-81 with 24 seconds left, but Ball State made their final five free throws and were 35-46 (76.1%) overall from the charity stripe.
Game Notes: Besides for Richie, Nate Hutcheson, David Brown, and Connar Tava also fouled out. The Broncos as a team had 31 fouls…WMU shot 48.4% from the field, Ball State 45.3%...The Broncos outscored Ball State 57-49 in the second half…Brown was the only other Bronco to score in double figures. He had 11…Jesse Berry topped the scoring charts for the Cardinals with 28. Jauwan Scaife had 21. He had a career high 30 in the previous meeting against Western.

Expect erratic moves in the bond market
Liquidity infusions are not what they appear to be, as actual and perceived liquidity can vary greatly.
Stock Traders Daily has issued a special report on monetary policy, outlining the influence of the recent combined efforts of the U.S. Treasury and the Federal Reserve over both perceived and real domestic liquidity.
Specifically, we focus on the perceived liquidity on the heels of the popular $85 billion monthly bond buying program the Federal Open Market Committee initiated last year.
Because the velocity of money has not increased proportional to the stimulus programs enacted in recent years, virtually the sole benefit of these programs has been added liquidity to the U.S. economy. However, and often unnoticed by the general public, the efforts of the Federal Reserve are largely offset by the simultaneous bond issuance and other operations of the U.S. Treasury.
In our report, we quantify the net influence of the $85 billion monthly bond buying program adjusted for U.S. Treasury operations and foreign interest to find the real versus perceived liquidity the current monetary policy has infused into the U.S. economy. The conclusion is that the actual infusion of capital is far less than the face value of the program, and the Federal Reserve therefore has very little wiggle room.
Any meaningful adjustment to the $85 billion monthly bond buying program could cause monetary policy to become an immediate drain on domestic liquidity.
Since May 1, 2013 iShares Barclays 20+ Year Treas Bond (TLT) has fallen by more than 9% as investors have expressed concern over the risk of tapering, and that raises many eyebrows. Investors in long-term Treasury bond funds and ETFs could be trapped if interest rates begin to increase aggressively more than they already have.
Given today's uncertainties, Stock Traders Daily recommends that investors avoid positions in ProShares UltraShort 7-10 Year Treasury (PST) and ProShares UltraShort 20+ Year Treasury (TBT), short bond-based ETFs, as well as bond funds and bond ETFs that are net long the bond market. Expect erratic and emotional moves in the bond market and therefore expect risks to bond investors to increase meaningfully, more than they already have.
If the stock market has increased based on perceived versus actual liquidity, we also suggests the equity and housing markets may also come under severe pressure if monetary policy becomes a drain on domestic liquidity levels.

A serious illness has put the Kennedy name where it has so often been in modern American political history — at the top of the news.
Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, "Ted" or "Teddy" to the millions who love him, has a malignant brain tumor, for which he will be treated over the coming months. News coverage of the senator following this development has proven the depth of respect and admiration for him from both political parties, historians, commentators, and political observers of all kinds.
Republicans' zero for three score in recent special elections are certainly revealing, although they have nothing to say about the presidential race. What they show is that "Democrats" have learned something and Republicans haven't.
Just because he helped make the intersection of Va. 122 and Va. 24 safer, don't think Lionel Toms has stopped working to make Bedford County roads better.
Toms, who lost his son John William Toms in 2002 to an accident at the Va. 122/24 intersection, worked with the Virginia Department of Transportation to reduce speeds there and get a stoplight installed. At one time it was the deadliest intersection in the county ? a fact he knew all too well.
Now Toms is working to make some back roads in the county safer as well.
With Memorial Day just behind us and the 64th anniversary of D-Day just ahead, this is certainly a good time to be talking about supporting this nation's veterans.
And Sen. Jim Webb's landmark Post 9/11 GI Bill does just that.
But President Bush and Republican presidential hopeful Sen. John McCain oppose the measure. Both are afraid the increased benefits will hurt retention in the military. That thinking is difficult to understand and undermines the commitment the men and women of this nation's armed services make on a daily basis.
Just last week the House of Representatives passed the bipartisan Conference Report on the Food, Conservation and Energy Act of 2008, commonly referred to as the farm bill. As the lead House Republican negotiator on the farm bill conference, I was pleased to lead the charge in reforming various aspects of federal farm policy and help craft the most reform-minded farm bill in the history of the Congress.
Solar power harnesses the energy of the sun to run some of the things that most of us use in our daily lives. Solar is an important form of alternative energy that is gaining customers and the attention of businesses.
Republicans looking for any sign of hope for the presidential election - beyond the temporary Obama/Clinton fight - haven't been able to find it in recent special elections for the House of Representatives.
If three strikes and you're out is the rule in both baseball and politics, then Republicans look to be finished this fall. They've lost not one, not two, but three special elections for House seats in recent months.
Although we don't yet know who our next president will be, there is one thing that is certain. Our next president will inherit a profoundly damaged economy when he takes office next year.
Of course, political party hacks will try to blame it on the opposite party. Rick Howell, I'm sure, will tell us how it is all the Republicans' fault and how the "Democrats" are gonna save us all.

Hot or Not? The Ping-Pong Dining Table
11 Comments
Possibly, if it were a nicer table. But I just dislike the table. And the weird, fuzzy yellow net. They don't go together. At all.
Yeah. I like the function, but not the look.
Eww! That yellow thing creeps me out. :(
This is supposed to be a new idea? In the 70s we had a clip-on net that stretched across our dining table and converted it just like that. Mom kicked us off at dinner time.
An actualy ping pong table would look better than this. It's clunky and bulky, and takes the "quantity over quality" approach. This is weird and over-decadent and clumsy for what I'm used to from Apartment Therapy.
It's fabulous, sweetie darling. Mummy can lose weight whilst playing ping pong, and Saffy can still study there, if she doesn't mind the random ball flying at her face, but that never bothered Pats, now, has it, hmmm?
What farmhousemoderne said.
Oh memories...
I love dual-use furniture but this ping pong dining table's quite a stretch...
I once inherited a sofa that converted to a mini pool table, apparently it was for small family rooms in the 50's, truly uncomfortable sofa and even worse pool table... never could figure out what to do with that thing. Landlord offered to buy it, as I was leaving, and I was overjoyed to get rid of the freaky thing.
The table looks too slippery to get any decent top spin on the ball.

Red Lentils
Red lentils are a fantastic ingredient in soups. They cook in about ten minutes and are packed with protein, fiber, and many other nutrients. I use half a cup of lentils and 4 cups of water when cooking a simple vegetable soup!
If there is one vegetable that has enriched my cooking lately, it's the large green leaves of chard. They are high in nutritional value like kale and spinach. In soups they become soft and silky and blend nicely with the other veggies in the meal!
Making a Change
If you desire to change the way you live, it requires a transition.
It doesn't matter what you do now or what you want to do in the future.
Transitions in life require patience, dedication, and perseverance.
What you eat has a huge impact on your state of mind, perspectives, and actions.
It can make the difference between being angry, irritated, or disgruntled and feeling joyful, happy, and spirited.
Diet can make you seem connected or disconnected from the larger world.
If you are preparing for a transition, especially with the types of food that you eat, remember that the transition is part of the experience and the person you are after the change should be better for it.
It takes time and effort to transform, but it should make you a stronger, more resilient person.

Steam Locomotive

The 239 steam engine is one of a series of Scout locomotives that symbolized Lionel's entry-level "027" offerings. Collectors and researchers routinely classify any low-priced steamer with an 0-4-0 or 2-4-2 wheel arrangement as a Scout-type locomotive. Most Scout-type locomotives have few quality features, very little power and struggle to even pull a load of three or four light freight cars.
Lionel included the 239 steamer in only two catalogued sets during the postwar era -- sets 11540 and 11550. Interestingly, the 239 steamer is not as common as one might believe. It's somewhat hard to locate -- especially in collector condition -- and one of the few scout locomotives having a die-cast boiler rather than the more common plastic boiler.
The 239 steam locomotive included the following characteristics: die-cast boiler painted black, white lettering, two-position E-unit, liquid smoke unit, a single traction tire, a single metal drive rod on each side and an illuminated headlight with headlight lens.
The 239 was produced with either a 234W whistling tender or a 242T non-whistling tender. The functional 234W whistling tender represented an upgrade compared to the 242T non-whistling tender.
The lettering on the cab was available in either a large or small print version. The larger, bolder version is harder to locate.

My name is Paul, I am 51 years old. I was able to retire in 2011 so moved from the South East to Derbyshire.
I have been climbing for many years but due to work and living in the South it was very sporadic therefore I led VS 4c for many years (but have seconded E2). Since moving to Derbyshire, and getting more mileage in, I have led my first HVS and up'ed my sport grade to 6A+.
I also ice climb and lead WI IV.
I love mountaineering and in my time have climbed in the Alps and Himalayas (On one occasion).

So wait… people are complaining when the gov't stops setting asside contracts to help women compete in businesses where they're no longer having trouble competing?
As for the question, equality vs fairness has been debated since the dawn of time. There is no right answer. However, when a particular set aside decreases equality AND fairness by helping one side which didn't need any help, then it needs to be dismissed.
Of course, whats the side effects of this business model? Are we seeing women CEOs being given control of a company simply to get some of these set aside contracts? If so, then there's a problem.
lets face it, this is a man's world! Men rule,and women drool. I dont mean to sound like an insensative jerk,but its the truth. I love women's persistence to reach our levels of power and i praise any woman who does. This is America!, for crying out loud and we all are blessed to have the opportunity to succeed! Yes ladies, and gentlemen,SUCCEED!
The post's headline and text says that SBA's original rule, proposed in December 2007, would make it harder for women-owned businesses to win federal contracts. More specifically, that under current rules women-owned businesses are eligible to vie for federal contract set asides.
This is incorrect. Under current rules, women-owned businesses have zero categories in which they can obtain set asides. SBA's original proposed rule would have increased that to four categories.
Granted, some wish to see more categories included. Regardless, it can't be said that the previously proposed rule would make it harder to obtain contracts.
Because we are working hard to increase opportunities to compete for and gain federal contracts, this year SBA has led a focused effort to educate potential contractors on how to gain contracts. We've created new educational materials to explain the Central Contractor Registration process and are working through our 109 field offices and resource partners to educate potential contractors on how to target opportunities.
Further, the Bush Administration's record on women's contracting is positive. Actual contracting dollars to women-owned small businesses (WOSBs) have increased dramatically: Prime contract dollars to such companies increased from $4.6 billion in 2000 to $11.6 billion in 2006. The year-over-year increase from 2005 to 2006 was the largest ever, $1.5 billion. Subcontracting dollars also increased, from $3.6 billion in 2000 to more than $10 billion in 2006.
Moreover, the share of federal contracting dollars that goes to WOSBs is growing as a percentage of the federal contracting universe. In 2000, these businesses received 2.3 percent of the federal government's contracts. That share has increased steadily each year of the administration and reached 3.4 percent in 2006.
I heard recently that Caucasians will be a minority by 2030…wanna bet that minority set asides go away magically right before that actually happens? It will be then deemed unfair…just as it is unfair today.
you want to talk about unfair?
unfair is the dipsarity between men and women in congress in a "representational" government.
unfair is that barely a dozen women lead fortune 500 companies.
unfair is people who do not understand that centuries of patriarchy are still putting women at a disadvantage.
What can I say? I am a woman who has been struggling to start and run my own business and I feel threatened every day, every minute sometimes that I will fall into the statistics of failing. Without some help, I don't know how most of us can do what we set out to do which in many cases is bring jobs and advancement into the marketplace. If the government doesn't see the value of helping in our contribution to progress, there is a large problem. SmartSpacingHangers com is a simple invention that should be at least not as hard as it is to offer the retailers, public and service industries.I am about at the end of my rope although I am not one to ever give up, it is just what I am going to have to do – is what is exasperating and on the verge of being on the street.
@Sean Rushton, U.S. Small Business Administration – August 23, 2008 at 9:33 pm
>I can't speak for direct acquisition with the Government,
but by Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 19.704, and associated requirements', my company continuously looks for Woman owned small businesses, to do subcontracting work.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WHAS11) – Louisville Metro Police are trying to get to the bottom of what happened inside of a JCPS school bus.
It is now a criminal investigation that could leave some children facing charges. There is video that shows some of what happened on the bus. Now police are trying to fill in the gaps.
"There certainly is evidence to suggest there was at a minimum inappropriate contact going on inside of the bus. Most of the allegations we are receiving at this point stem around clothes tearing. It also involves some type of inappropriate groping and that's at a minimum that we've observed on the video tape," said Sergeant Robert Biven with LMPD.
The incident happened last Tuesday. The bus was dropping kids off from Lassiter Middle School when the commotion broke out. The next day a parent called the school and the school resource officer called the police.
"There was a video system installed on this bus that's allowed us to identify all the parties involved in this incident. We've scheduled numerous interviews this week. Once we finish our investigation we are going to confer with the county attorney's office as to get a review of the file and get a recommendation on how to proceed," said Sgt. Biven.
Police tell WHAS11 there is at least one alleged female victim but maybe two.
Jefferson County Public School officials say five students from Lassiter Middle School now have long term suspensions. The bus driver who was in charge that day has been removed from the bus pending the outcome of the investigation.
Police say the video is about 15-20 minutes long and detectives are carefully reviewing that now.

Before & After: Ikea Malm Goes Grecian Glam
Amanda Carol at Home
Just look at that Ikea Malm dresser all sitting there all plain and white. You just wait, Ikea Malm dresser. You have no idea what's about to happen to you. (Hint: it involves O'verlays!)
Told you so! We're such big fans of furniture makeovers, especially when it's more than just a coat of paint. This makeover, created by Amanda Carol, turned a blank canvas of a dresser into a super statement with Greek key shaped O'verlays that she painted gold. And even if you wouldn't put gold Greek keys in a nursery, you have to give this woman credit for glamming up that Ikea Malm so hard it didn't even know what hit it. She went big and bold, and we totally love it. Check out Amanda Carol at Home for more pictures and info about her project.

Beautifully done. Love the gold overlays. Absulutely perfect!
Well....it matches the decor.
it wonderful what you have done!
Too Vegas bordello for me.
Vegas bordello in the best of ways! This literally took my breath away. Rock on.
I saw that O'verlays product on a different AT post and just loved it!
The Greek Key and the gold pictured above aren't my particular style, but the options on the O'verlay website really have me thinking about giving it a try.
It looks great.. a bit too gold for my taste.. but hey if your a gold kinda person then good for you.
this blows my mind! amazing! loooove!

Bryan Allen's third period goal gave the Florida Panthers life, but a stellar Tim Thomas made sure that they never got any closer, and the Boston Bruins held on for a 2-1 victory Wednesday night, in Boston.
Allen blasted a long rebound top shelf, midway through the third period to cut the deficit to one goal. The rebound came off of a bad angle shot from Radek Dvorak, as he streaked up the right wing side. Thomas made the save, but was unable to reset himself in time to stop the drive from Allen.
However, that was the lone bright spot for the Panthers, as Boston took advantage of a Florida team who sleep walked through the first two periods. The Panthers rarely controlled the puck for the first 40 minutes of the contest, as the Bruins jumped in front early on a Brad Marchand goal.
Marchand took a pass from Patrice Bergeron, and out waited Panthers goaltender Tomas Vokoun, wrapping around the net before scoring on the fallen Vokoun. The play went to review, but Vokoun's save attempt was behind the goal line, and the goal stood up.
Early in the second period, Milan Lucic added a second goal to the Boston lead, when David Krejci won a faceoff cleanly back to Lucic, who blasted a shot past Vokoun.
That's all the help Thomas would need, as he made 34 saves on 35 shots for his conference leading 24th victory.
The loss, coupled with wins by Atlanta and Carolina, puts the Panthers in tough shape heading into the All-Star break. Florida is now eight points behind Atlanta with three games in hand, but more importantly, seven points behind Carolina with just one game in hand.
The Panthers will resume play next Tuesday, in Toronto with a matchup against the Maple Leafs.

Rookie forward Marcel Noebels has been reassigned
by the Philadelphia Flyers to the Adirondack Phantoms
from the Trenton Titans (ECHL) according to general
manager Paul Holmgren.
The 20 year old (March 14, 1992) left-wing from
Toenisvorst, Germany has yet to play in the American
Hockey League. With Trenton this year he has 11
goals and 19 assists for 30 points in 31 games.
Noebels has been particularly hot with the scoring
hand over his last month in the ECHL beginning
with a hat trick against Elmira on December 1.
He scored nine goals and 12 assists for 21 points
in just 14 games in December. He scored goals
in five out of six games in a stretch from December
15 through December 27. As Noebels' scoring picked
up, so did the Titans who were recently on a seven-game
point streak and five-game winning streak.
Noebels was selected by the Flyers in the fourth
round of the 2011 NHL entry draft. He previously
played Major Juniors for the Seattle Thunderbirds
and Portland Winterhawks of the Western Hockey
League. He scored a combined 20 goals and 38 assists
in 62 games with Portland and Seattle in the 2011-12
Noebels is listed as 6'2" and 205 pounds
and is a left-handed shooter. He played for various
youth national teams for Germany including in
the Under-20 World Juniors Championships in 2011
and in WJC Division I in 2012 as an alternate
captain. His performance in 2012 helped the team
re-enter the top division again for the currently
ongoing World Juniors in Russia (Noebels is no
longer eligible to participate).

Those of us who have sent children to college know that parental worries take a different turn when the kids are off on their own.
We worry that they will drink too much and not study enough. That they'll be mugged on their way back to the dorm. That a much-anticipated date will go horribly wrong.
Since Robert Champion's horrific death, though, I wonder if we worry about the wrong things.
Champion was the Florida A&M University drum major who was found unresponsive on a band bus after performing in a November game against Bethune-Cookman. He had been vomiting and was having trouble breathing before he collapsed and died at a hospital in Orlando, Fla. Authorities have said he had been repeatedly punched by band members as part of a hazing ritual.
As a result, four students have been dismissed, band director Julian White has been fired and state and federal agencies are investigating the school.
None of that, however, will bring back the 26-year-old.
The first thing I did when that story broke was phone my college freshman, who was pledging a fraternity.
"No way, Mom," he said when I asked him about hazing.
His denials and those of his brother, in the same fraternity, have done little to assuage my concerns.
Apparently it's no longer enough to worry about spiraling tuition and minuscule acceptance rates. Here's another potential headache for parents of college-bound kids: How safe, really, are those bucolic campuses? And, what should we fear most -- run-of-the-mill crime or the headline-grabbing tragedies that seem to pop up in the news every so often?
I've been packing children off to college for more than 12 years, and practice has not made this transition easier on the wallet or the heart. Knowing how many things can go wrong -- the kind of knowledge acquired after living a few hard years -- is trying on the nerves.
The FAMU hazing death is only the latest incident in what sometimes feels like a long line of campus horrors. Just last month, a riot-clad police officer pepper sprayed a row of peaceful Occupy Wall Street protesters at a California university. The video went viral and caused every parent I know, regardless of political affiliation, to foam at the mouth with outrage.
In September 2010, a Rutgers freshman jumped to his death after his roommate secretly taped him during a "sexual encounter" in his dorm room and posted it on the Internet. And a year earlier and a few miles north, a former animal research technician murdered a Yale graduate student and then stuffed her body in a wall of the lab. He was sentenced to 44 years in prison this summer.
But the worst campus incident of all time is surely the 2007 Virginia Tech rampage, when a student diagnosed with mental illness killed 32 people and wounded 25 others before turning the gun on himself. Could any parent have predicted such a massacre?
When we pack extra-long sheets, power strips and bathroom caddies into our child's college trunk, we brace ourselves for inevitable surprises. We know this is the first step in a long journey toward independence, and for years we have been training them -- and us -- for the rite of passage.
But how do you prepare for random evil, for inexcusable meanness, for horrific acts that defy logic and humanity? You can't, and maybe that's why the worries -- and the feelings of helplessness -- never cease.

Neighbor Testimonials
Intown feels like a small town in all the right ways. I grew up in a small town and had a wonderful childhood. I knew my neighbors as I do now in Intown. When I go for a jog or walk, I see someone I know and often stop to chat. We have neighbors that our children run over to their house, and neighbors who bring their dog over to play with our dog during the day so he is not lonely. Intown is safe (check the stats - actually the safest) and family-friendly. I can't imagine raising my family any where else in this city. I would worry that they would be too confined in a "burb" neighborhood without sidewalks and also not learn about community - their community. I also love the fact that I live one mile from my office, so I can drive or walk. I never get stuck in traffic, and I guess if I did I'd just park my car & walk the rest of the way. Intown is my "Mayberry."
-Bridget M. Wright, M.D.
Intown Resident since 2006
When we moved to Macon 18 years ago, we were 'warned' that we would want to live in a north Macon suburb, that intown living was either non-existent or for the very poor. So, we chose a new home in a north Macon suburb and enrolled our children in public schools which drew from that area of town. The friendships our children made at their schools, as well as in the neighborhood, kept us from seriously considering a move 'downtown,' and now I am so sorry that we didn't move here sooner!
Four years ago, with our children out of the house, my husband and I began to re-examine our lifestyle. We had a lovely neighborhood, but it felt a bit "cookie cutter." We also took walks in the neighborhood, but there was no way to walk to a store or restaurant---walks were about excercise, not getting someplace. Walking was also a bit dangerous, as the neighborhood had no sidewalks. (Bibb County did not require developers to put them in.) I would occasionally see my neighbors when I walked, but mostly people in that neighborhood used their backyards and decks----front yards were largely unused. My husband was driving nine miles to get to his job at Mercer. We drove to church, to the grocery, out to eat----we drove everywhere.
So, we left our subdivision and moved into a home in the Huguenin Heights area of Macon, into a 100 year old home that had been completely renovated ten years previously. Today, we do a lot of walking, and we ALWAYS see our neighbors, because this is a neighborhood with sidewalks and front porches. There are some decks (our house has one), but people seem to like the front yard. Children play on the sidewalks. Our homes are fairly close together, and we look out for one another's yards and pets.
When I take a walk, I can walk to a public park. I can walk to a dog park (the dog loves that). I can walk to a coffee shop, a bookstore, several restaurants and on Sundays, I walk to church. I walk to a community vegetable garden. My husband walks to work. Our neighborhood is anything but cookie cutter. Yes, some houses are run down, and a few, sadly enough, are empty. But most houses are occupied by families we have come to know and love. I don't pull into a garage and shut the door when I get home---I come home to my street and walk up the public sidewalk to my house. People wave. They know my schedule, and my neighbor has brought in boxes that have been delivered when she knows I am at work.
There is a sense of camaraderie here that I didn't find in my suburb, although I had good friends there. There is also a sense of life being 'real' here. There are young families and retired couples. There are college students. There are black and white people, affluent and middle class, as well as the poor. There is an exciting spirit of wanting to make intown THE neighborhood to live in, and my mother-in-law told me recently that our area of town is the only area that is doing well in real estate right now. I don't know if that is true, but I do know that there is no place in Macon I would rather live!

Effective writing is one of the communication skills necessary for successful progress
in college and throughout one's career. Talent in writing develops over time from
repeated practice and an openness to self-scrutiny and improvement. The Seminar
in Exposition and Argument—like other courses—is not an end in itself but will provide
an intensive introduction to all of the skills that go into good writing: critical
reading, framing arguments for different audiences, mechanics, style, and research.
With this in mind, this seminar is taken in conjunction with the First Year Colloquia,
providing the opportunity for shared readings, assignments, or related activities.
The core curriculum will ask students to continue to refine their writing, but this
course lays the foundation for the kinds of writing expected of students throughout
In the Seminar on Exposition and Argument students will do the following:

Resisting Resignation: Protest and Refusal in Chicago
I learned that there would be another protest yesterday for Roshad McIntosh, a 19 year old young black man, who was killed by a Chicago Police officer on August 24. Neighbors say that the young man had his hands up and was in the process of surrendering when he was shot and killed.
I had missed (because of illness) the previous protests demanding that the killer cop be named and that the police report be released to the public. I had, however, been closely following information about the incident on social media. Yesterday, I finally felt well enough to attend the latest protest. I grabbed a ride with my friends Sarah, Zach and Megan and we headed to North Lawndale for the 5 o'clock protest/march.
We marched from the site of Roshad's killing to the 11th police district.
When we arrived at the police station, Roshad's mother, Cynthia Lane, entered the building to ask for more information about her son's killing.
She returned a short time later to say that the police didn't tell her any more details about her son's death. She vowed to come back every day until she got answers.

English Park
Have a look at the plan of our park
Exhibition of sculptures by Barbora Hapalová
While walking through the castle park or directly at the entrance gate to Chateau Mcely, you might catch sight of some unique works of art – sculptures by MgA Barbora Hapalová.
"Every sculpture says something about me, is a piece of my story, and together they are gradually forming a kind of diary of my life. Creating teaches me patience and perseverance, and helps me see into the places in my inner world that are often hard for me to get to. I can crystalize the thoughts and processes that are running through my brain and that I frequently don't truly understand - sculpting helps me find the connections that escape me."
All artwork displayed in the park is available for purchase. In case of your interest please contact our Reception at firstname.lastname@example.com or by phone +420 325 600 000
The Fountain of Fulfilled Wishes
The location where the original fountain used to stand was a favorite place for aristocratic families staying at the chateau to rest, and now a new sandstone fountain designed by Oto Bláha stands here. In the evening, the water is flooded by violet shadows, reminiscent of the flow of positive healing energy between the heavens and earth at the very spot where the Mcely Miracles occurred. Try making a wish, a small coin thrown into the water will certainly help the fulfillment of your intention. Stone saved from the original fountain today forms a protective circle around the statue of the Virgin Mary in the northern part of the park.
Princess Julinka's Cottage
Young Prince Alexander della Torre e Tasso, also known as Saša, was born at the chateau and grew up here during the Second World War. Now, he has been replaced by young Julia, known to her family and friends as Julinka. Her parents love her just as devoutly, which is why they had a children's cottage built on the foundation of the original one of Prince Alexander. There are lots of toys waiting for children here and a hammock and picnic table and chairs with a beautiful view for their parents to absorb and contemplate.
Children's Playground—"Under the Daisy"
A slide leads directly from Princess Julinka's Cottage to the children's playground which has a large sandbox and swings. Mud pies, shovels and pails are waiting in the sandbox, and little architects can design and build the castles of their dreams in the sand. The swings can accommodate two friends or siblings at a time.
Fire Pit
Visit the fire pit and enjoy nostalgic memories of your childhood by roasting our homemade sausages that are sure to taste best with fresh bread, salad and cold draft beer. And, if you are an experienced camper, feel free to sing songs by the roaring fire.
Beetles Hotel
Chateau Mcely didn't want to disturb the park's natural ecosystem by removing wood and its little inhabitants from the area, so a unique "hotel" with ideal conditions for them was built. Natural science enthusiasts can borrow a magnifying glass from our reception to view the insects as they go about their daily work.
Natural Walk-For-Health
For aspiring or practicing lovers of a healthy lifestyle there is a fitness path prepared in the park to improve or maintain your condition. An experienced fitness trainer, Jan Větrovský, has created a training program and the health path for guests of Chateau Mcely. Along with natural fitness machines embedded in the surrounding landscape, the walk-for-health makes use of steep pathways and staircases that interconnect the individual terraces throughout the park. You should follow the exercise instructions carefully at each station.
Multifunctional Sports Ground
For those who love tennis, football-tennis (volleyball played with the feet) or basketball, in the lower section of the park, we have built a modern sports ground which has a special surface amenable to each of these sports. Take your friends with you, and perhaps play a little tournament. Our staff at Chateau Mcely will take care of your refreshments and the subsequently well-deserved relaxation in our Mcely Spa.
Herbal and Flower Garden
Take a moment to stop in the heart of the park – the kingdom of the chateau's gardener. Smell the basil, lemon balm and oregano, or the mint and the flowers grown for decorating the chateau. Throughout the park, a collection of herbs called the Nine Flowers grow on nine different slopes. These herbs are used in Mcely Spa and in the chateau laboratory as part of the natural ingredients to create the Mcely Bouquet cosmetic products. In the middle of the gardens you can see an old ceramic bath from the 19th century, which served for many years in the main bathroom of the Thurn-Taxis family.
Witch's Lair
In the past, this cave was used to store apples, potatoes, carrots or other root vegetables that were used in the chateau's kitchen, and also for storing fuchsias from the northern face of the chateau. Today it is the witch's lair, where she concocts her magical potions.
Honey Pavilion
On the southern slope of the park once stood the original chateau beehive, but this location is now dominated by an elegant, yet mystical hexagonal structure. It was inspired by the Czech tradition of the spa summerhouse and 17th century English spa hexagons, which the nobility built in their parks to cleanse and perfect their body and soul. Inside you will find the private therapeutic Honey Suite, one of the chateau's threesome of Honey, Silk and Pearls, where healing herbal therapies inspired by local traditions of the Nine Flowers are performed.
Outdoor Sauna and Jacuzzi
To cleanse your body and mind perfectly, spend some time in the outdoor sauna which is similar to the traditional Russian spa. After getting thoroughly warmed up, guests can cool down in winter in the natural bathing lake. Next to the sauna there is a spacious romantic Jacuzzi under the wide Bohemian sky, enticing you into carefree idleness in the company of a close companion with a glass of champagne in your hand.
Mcely Beach and Natural Swimming Lake
A natural swimming lake provides summer bathing for guests with no chemicals at all. The water in the lake comes from a local spring and in the spirit of the ecological philosophy of Chateau Mcely is cleansed only by natural methods – a mechanical filtration technology with the help of stones, sand and gravel and maintenance of strict quality standards of the water by the use of special cleansing plants. The adjoining beach with white sand from the Labe River evokes that true holiday mood and perhaps most of all pleases the youngest, for whom there is also a wading pool next to the lake.
Sage Veil
Our Sage Veil is our largest flower group, numbering 12 thousand plants of sage pouring across our park over a distance of 0.5 km. The veil connects the newly reconstructed part of the English park with the current part. Sage is also used in our Mcely Bouquet natural cosmetics line, and you can enjoy its scent in Sage Body Peeling.
