But the findings of North Carolina's involvement in Crosscheck quickly ignited a media firestorm, especially in the conservative media: "N.C. State Board Finds More than 35K Incidents of 'Double Voting' in 2012" trumpeted National Review. "Oh My: Audit Finds Evidence of Widespread Voter Fraud in North Carolina" blared Townhall.com.
Dick Morris, the conservative comentator and former political operative, made even more wild claims, claiming in an editorial for The Hill that North Carolina's findings offered "concrete proof that massive voter fraud might have taken place in the 2012 election, sufficiently widespread to have tainted more than 1 million votes nationwide."
As Facing South was one of the first to report, however, the North Carolina election board's data offered little proof of rampant fraud. The 35,750 figure represented people who, when plugged into Crosscheck's database of voter files from 28 states, had the same first name, last name and date as birth of people who had voted in other states in 2012. But many of those can be explain by clerical errors and the fact that a surprisingly large number of people in different states share the same names and birthday.
The seemingly more troubling figure was 765: That was the number Crosscheck flagged as people whose names, birth date and the last four digits of their Social Security matched as having voted in North Carolina and another state in 2012. Hans von Spakovsky, a voting fraud crusader who used to work for the Federal Elections Commission and is now based at the conservative Heritage Foundation, said that was proof North Carolina "had the goods."
Yet the history of the Crosscheck program offers little evidence to suggest such "goods" -- in the form of verifiable, prosecuted cases of voting fraud -- will ever emerge. The fact-checking group PunditFact, in a report drawing on Facing South's analysis, rated Morris' claims as "false," noting that Kobach himself admits few of the potential fraud cases have resulted in proof of criminal wrongdoing.
In a September 2013 presentation about the program, Crosscheck founder Kris Kobach, the Kansas Secretary of State, readily acknowledges that out of 84 million records analyzed, only 14 had even been referred for prosecution. Kobach's presentation doesn't list any cases of a voter actually being convicted of fraud. Furthermore, in Crosscheck's 2014 participation guide for states, they admit that "a significant number of apparent double votes are false positives and not double votes. Many are the result of errors -- voters sign the wrong line in the poll book, election clerks scan the wrong line with a barcode scanner."
PunditFact interviewed Michael McDonald, a political scientist at George Mason University, who described other clerical mistakesthat can lead to false claims of double-voting:
You find missing data, or worse, a missing data code. They might plug in '9999' when they don't have a Social Security number and people are getting matched on that missing data code.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (November 4, 2012)—Betfair Hollywood Park will begin its 32nd Autumn Meet Thursday, Nov. 8. Post time is 12:30 p.m.
Scheduled for 24 days through Dec. 16, the meet is highlighted by four Grade I events and the annual Autumn Turf Festival (Nov. 23-25).
Two of the Grade I events are on grass and part of the Festival – the $250,000 Matriarch and the $250,000 Hollywood Derby. Both races will be run Sunday, Nov. 25.
Two-year-olds are spotlighted in the other Grade I's – the $500,000 guaranteed Hollywood Starlet– up from $250,000 in 2011 – and the $750,000 CashCall Futurity.
Won a year ago by 14-1 outsider Killer Graces, the Starlet is scheduled for Saturday, Dec. 8.
The Futurity, which was taken by Liasion in 2011, will be run Saturday, Dec. 15.
Racing will be conducted four days a week (Thursday-Sunday) throughout the season.
Post time will be 12:30 p.m. daily with one exception – 11 a.m. Nov. 22 (Thanksgiving).
The first stakes on the Autumn schedule is the $100,000 Real Quiet, which will be run for the seventh time Saturday, Nov. 10. An ungraded event for 2-year-olds at 1 1/16 miles over Cushion Track, the Real Quiet is a prep for the CashCall Futurity. Liaison won the Real Quiet and Futurity last year, becoming the second juvenile to win both races. Comma to the Top completed the sweep in 2010.
Entries for the Real Quiet will be taken Wednesday, Nov. 7.
Free box seats will be offered every Thursday and Friday. Thursdays will also offer $5 admission – with Gold Club card – for seniors (55 and older). Parking and program are included.
Happy Hour drink specials and Mexican food items will be available 2-4 p.m. on Fiesta Fridays and Gold Club members can enter to win a $100 mutuel voucher.
The wagering menu will continue to offer the Player's Pick 5, now a staple on the Southern California circuit after being introduced at the 2011 Spring/Summer meet. The 50 cent minimum wager with a reduced 14% takeout will be offered daily on Races 1-5.
There will be a $150,000 guaranteed Pick Six each Saturday of the meet. Should the pool surpass $200,000, $1 Happy Hour food and drink specials will be available at Whittingham's Pub.
The Hollywood Park Casino will be open – admission is free – for simulcast wagering Wednesday, Nov. 7.

British hurdy-gurdy maker, Neil Brook, has a number of good music resources on his website. These include:
Much of the music available on the Internet is stored in "abc notation". This format dates from the early 1990's and is a way of representing complex musical scores using normal text characters - which can then easily be emailed or shown on a web page. ABC notation is not designed to be human readable, and so having downloaded the music you use software to convert the text into a conventional musical score. Fortunately there are many free applications available for Windows, MacOS and Linux. A good starting point is the abc notation home page (maintained by Chris Walshaw, original inventor of the notation) or the official ABC Music project pages on Sourceforge (for the more technical minded).
Some good starter music pages include:
After a few months of waiting, my new Chris Allen Symphonie arrived this week. It's a beautiful instrument and so I thought I'd post some photographs and provide some initial impressions. The Symphonie is modeled on the earliest form of hurdy-gurdy, the mediaeval symphonie, which was in use from the 12th Century onwards. Little is known about exactly how they were configured, but this model is based on a modern stringing - with two chanterelles (tuned together in g), and with a drone in G and trompette in C, all strung with oiled gut. The drone and trompette are fitted with capos to allow them to be changed to C and D respectively - allowing the instrument to be played in the keys of Gmaj/Gmin and Cmaj/Cmin.
The instrument is very quiet - a characteristic of Symphonies - with a delicate, sweet tone. It is well suited to practicing in a household shared with others, for accompanying singing or for use in mediaeval reenactments. The trompette reacts very easily and the chien produces a pleasant rasping buzz when it sounds. A tirant allows the sensitivity to be quickly adjusted - a must, particularly when engaging or disengaging the capo.
One of the most delightful aspects of the instrument is the keyboard, which is is beautifully smooth and has a fantastically light and fast response. Although full-sized, it feels small and compact and makes playing around the two-octave range a joy. I found no difficulty playing the full range of notes, with even the highest notes having a clean sound.
The tangents are made from wood and screwed into the key, which should prevent issues of loose tangents and buzzes with humidity changes. The key travel is damped with a green felt strip, and the resulting action is very quiet.
You can play the instrument with or without the lid attached. Playing with the lid on provides a slightly quieter, softer tone, with the chanterelles sounding relatively quieter (compared to the drone and trompette) than with the lid off. With the lid off, you get brighter sounding chanterelles, with less noticeable difference on the trompette and drone. I haven't yet decided which I prefer.
The strings are tuned with four standard mechanical tuning pegs. There's no fancy geared tuning pegs on this instrument (in keeping with its mediaeval design) and so I've cheated and fitted some violin fine tuners which clip onto the chanterelles and trompette and allow me to easily make fine tuning adjustments. At only €1.60 each, I thoroughly recommend them for any hurdy-gurdy - although you may need to find a good luthier to get hold of them, as most violins use fine-tuners that mount in the tail-piece.
Overall, this is a delightful instrument. If you are after a loud instrument for dance music or playing in sessions, then this is not for you. However, if you want an instrument to accompany singing, to practice without disturbing the family or to carry about whilst dressed as a wandering minstrel, this is the instrument for you.

RootsWorld have a nice review of the album, le maîtres de la vielle baroque(French Music for hurdy-gurdy) online. They say:
Both tackling the hurdy-gurdy repertoire with extensive backgrounds in a variety of musical forms, Loibner and Delfino shed light on some of the gems of the baroque hurdy-gurdy on this album. The composers are hardly commonplace, but on listening to the selections recorded here, the listener must wonder why not. With all the drama and complexity expected of the baroque era, these pieces are sophisticated, subtle, expressive, and utterly charming. Loibner and Delfino match the quality of the compositions with their blend of solid musical-historical knowledge, exceptional technique and innate musicality. From the melancholy yearning expressed in Dupuits's Oeuvre 3, 1ère, Ariette "Gracieusement" to the vigorously regal Oeuvre 2, 4eme, Allegro "La Bully" by Buterne, Loibner and Delfino demonstrate their mastery of the instrument as well as their strong connection to the music.
More online here.
RootsWorld have a nice review of Loibner's album, vielle à roué online. They say:
In Vielle à roué Matthias Loibner's versatile musicianship is highlighted in thirteen recordings of solo hurdy-gurdy. Ranging from traditional klezmer music to his own compositions, along with arrangements and improvisations, Loibner's music is at times melancholic, sometimes ecstatic, often stark (for instance the opening track, "Zhe Krevari de Fã" an arrangement of a Savoyard song), and sometimes wistful, as it is on "Förer Frühling", his impressions of the North Sea island of Föhr. Loibner takes full advantage of the idioms available to the instrument, including lively counter-rhythms played on the "dog" strings, long melodic notes, and haunting drones. At times, as in his own "Katzensilber", he evokes a Philip Glass-like sound of delicate arpeggiated runs, mesmerizing in the same way that a good performance of Bach's Prelude in C Major can be. His take on medieval music, as heard on "Salzarello", an arrangement of a 14th century Italian dance, uses repeated motifs over the constant drones to balance the needs of straightforward dance music with the demands of modern art music listeners.

Introduction to the full RootsWorld review series on Loibner's work here.
Matthias Loibner and Natasa Mirkovic-De Ro have released a wonderful recording of Schubert's Winterreise for voice and hurdy-gurdy. It's one of my favourite hurdy-gurdy recordings - but don't take my word for it. Classics Today have written a glowing review of it:
Okay. A new recording of Schubert's Winterreise. Fine. And a rare venture by a soprano—a Bosnian singer I've never heard of—into this song cycle's near-exclusive male-voice domain. Terrific. And now, who's the pianist? Wait a minute…there is no pianist. The accompanist is—a hurdy-gurdy-ist? On one hand this is brilliant: taking a cue from the cycle's last song, the performers re-cast all of the songs to the plaintive, rustic, poignant sound of a real hurdy-gurdy, whose unique voice lends an eerie, earthy character that haunts the singer's every mood and step and emotion. The droning, the crude yet spot-on articulation of melody, the rudimentary suggestion of Schubert's harmony—all of this combined with soprano Nataša Mirkovic-De Ro's extraordinary expressive versatility—adds up to a performance that successfully rethinks, reconstructs, and returns these songs to roots that even Schubert might not have known they had.

Christa Muths sent me this review of Spanish hurdy-gurdy player, Abel Garcia - probably the first hurdy-gurdy player to use it for playing flamenco!
The instrument and the music: the hurdy and flamenco have much in common, says Abel, who is the first hurdy gurdy player to play flamenco. Both, he says, the instrument and the music are of unknown origin and they share another characteristic: nomadism. Just like flamenco, the hurdy is linked to gypsy music and its "migrating personality" is fused with pagan, religion, folk and traditional music of many countries.
Abel's ethnographic studies led him to investigate gypsy music which started in India and he followed its footprints across the Middle East, eastern and central Europe to the Iberian Peninsula and northern Maghreb. He studied the baglama in Istanbul under Devrim Aydin and Ergan Ogum and Efren Lopez in Spain and continued his musical range by studying Ottoman, Mevlevi, Turkish and also Greek music under Hristos Barbas and Stelios Petrakis.
Abel's band Krama fuses Flamenco with sounds from Greece, Bulgaria and India. Spyros Kaniaris is the composer of some of the music the band plays and he plays different instruments such as the Flamenco guitar, pontros lira and the Camance. Playing the melody of these songs based on the fusion of Flamenco, Balcanic and Greek sounds forces the hurdy-gurdy player to find new ways to understand and play his instrument.
Abel Garcia also plays the hurdy in the "Compañia de Baile Flamenco Manuel Serena", where the instrument mingles with the "cante" (vocals), the "toque" (guitar), the cajón flamenco and the dance developed by the company's director, Manuel Serena.
Abel plays in other bands like ALM, a project with hurdy-gurdies, dolçainas and other string instruments like the lauto, the tar, the santur and the baglama.
Abel is a member of the group Afluencies which was rewarded with the Mediterranean Music Price at the Manresa Festival, and the Ovidi Montlor Price for the best folk album 2010.
Abel music ability covers a very wide range of styles, he collaborates with other Early Music projects like Ensemble Pelegrí (Early music of the three cultures), Longa Organa (oriental medieval music with electronic sound) and Short tale (rock band.)
Abel is also the musical producer of the soundtrack of some theatrical productions. In 2010 he produced the music for the play Miss Julie, by August Strindberg. The hurdy-gurdy is the starting point of the musical composition. Every single sound, melody, atmosphere and special effects come from the wheel and the keys of the hurdy-gurdy, thanks to the sound effects and the creative possibilities of the Loop Station.
Christa Muths 2010
Reader Christa Muths sent me a review of possibly the best hurdy-gurdy player in Spain, Marc Egea. All the text that follows is from Christa:
Marc Egea (Barcelona 1973) is the leading Catalan musician and composer playing the hurdy-gurdy.
Marc started playing the hurdy-gurdy when he was 22 and soon recognised its enormous possibilities and followed in the foot steps of the great French hurdy-gurdy master Valentin Clastrier. The hurdy-gurdy, a medieval instrument is widely played across Europe and the US as folk, dance and street music instrument.
Marc writes mainly in Catalan, but also in Spanish and uses in his compositions many of the traditional Catalan and Spanish instruments.
He plays a variety of traditions, types and styles of music and expands his range to Jazz, modern dance tunes, accompaniments to poetry and experimental music.
Before becoming a full time musician Marc studied philosophy at the University of Barcelona and with his band Kalakau he also plays "philosophical" music: these tunes are like meditation and they take you into a world of melody and rhythm as well as thought and reflection. You do not want the music to stop as the melody relaxes while the rhythm carries you to another level of awareness at the same time and the sequence of the music takes you into a world of calm and yet alert reflection.
When combining just the hurdy with his voice his songs create an electrifying field.
He has produced 8 CD's, the newest one will be released shortly:
His teaching book how to play the hurdy (Introducció a la viola de roda) was published in 2008 in Catalan, the sequence of the exercises are very helpful to learn to understand the instrument and its range.
Marc is not only an excellent technical musician, but he has a deep feeling for the instrument and for the effects of music and sound.

There's a great video interview with hurdy-gurdy virtuoso, Matthias Loibner over at interMuse - see here. Interesting description of the instrument and some fantastic playing. Well worth a watch!
Whilst you're thinking about Loibner, there are a couple of nice videos on Vimeo of his Winterreise recording. See here and here.

About Me Casual Dresser
Comments about this product:
The color of the lanyard is a much more bright blue than what is shown on the image on the site. The Dunder Mifflin logo is printed on only one side of the lanyard, would've been nice to see it on both sides. It tends to pull at your neck hair (especially if you've just gotten a haircut buzz). The Lanyard is also quite bulky or thick. If someone asked me if I would buy this if they told me about what I put, I wouldn't want to buy it.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Corporate investments along the lower Rouge River have created thousands of jobs and enhanced environmental status of the region
October 13, 2008
DEARBORN / Oct. 13, 2008---More than $7 billion worth of new investments have been planned or completed along the lower eight miles of the Rouge River this decade.
These investments have created thousands of jobs, and enhanced and improved the environmental status of the Rouge River and its watershed, according to Edward Bagale, vice chancellor for government relations at the University of Michigan-Dearborn and co-chair of the Rouge River Gateway Partnership.
Leaders of the firms that have invested in new industrial and manufacturing facilities along the Rouge will discuss their efforts at a half-day meeting to be held at UM-Dearborn on Friday, Oct. 24.
We are celebrating these great corporate citizens who are leading by example and building a sustainable future for our region, Bagale said.
The firms to be represented include Ford Motor Co., DTE Energy, Marathon Oil, Severstal Steel and the Edward C. Levy Co. Among other projects during this decade, Ford invested approximately $2 billion in its truck plant; Marathon has announced plans for a new refining facility in the area; DTE is planning major alternative energy investments; and Severstal Steel is spending approximately $1 billion on a new blast furnace at their Dearborn facility.
The panel will be moderated by Edward C. Levy Jr., a legendary figure in manufacturing whose father helped Henry Ford build the original Ford Rouge plant, Bagale said. Today their firm supplies the technology that contributes to the worlds highest quality rolled steel.
The 18th annual meeting also will feature reports on the environmental status of the Rouge River watershed and other water-related issues in the Detroit metropolitan area. Elected officials, government policy makers, environmental activists and concerned citizens are expected to attend.
The meeting will run from 8 a.m. to noon, Friday, Oct. 24 in UM-Dearborns Fairlane Center North building, at 19000 Hubbard Dr.
The Rouge River watershed spans approximately 438 square miles, and is home to more than 1.5 million people in 48 communities and three counties.
The Rouge River Gateway Partnership is a coalition of businesses, cultural and academic institutions and governmental agencies along the Rouge River.
This alliance may be the finest example of intergovernmental collaboration in the nation, comprising dozens of different levels of government from township officials all the way up to the U.S. Congress and federal agencies, Bagale said. What we all share is a commitment to supporting a sustainable environment and economic prosperity in our region.
The meeting is free and open to the public, but registration is requested. Those planning to attend should call 313-593-5140, or send an e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com.

It's all good! (image source)
As everyone knows by now, Burger King was hacked by Anonymous several days ago in what for sure turned out to be a very bad day for the social media team at BK's headquarters. The hacked account was switched to resemble McDonalds and tweeted out several harmful messages out to Burger King's followers.
The account was promptly shut down, but not before Burger King received a massive bump in followers. But if you're the type of person that likes to look for the upside of things, there were a few more benefits than just gaining more followers.
Burger King had recently been smeared by the horse meat contamination scandal sweeping Europe, and was not looking like a trustworthy or friendly company. But when it was hacked, it suddenly looked like a victim to all of social media, especially those who have had the displeasure of getting their own social media accounts hacked (it sucks). People like those who have the same misfortune as them, they empathize. Due to this, Burger King has enjoyed a huge amount of free media time but not suffered a serious blow to its brand. Quite the opposite, other companies are staging hacks to try and cash in on the Burger King buzz.
That's a blessing in disguise.

News today says shops with Jessops name are to reopen, very few to start.
I saw this on the news this morning. Hope they open one in Glasgow sooner rather than later. I'm thinking on a new speedlight for my macro photos ( not too keen on ring flashes), would like to go and see some first though... Graham
Yes graham, I bought the sigma EM-140 DG for Macro work I found myself using it with additional lighting, but for portait work it is very good. Maybe they will open up a web site for Jessops,and we can show them where the demand for there prescence is. Recently I joined one for HMV it keeps me posted on whats happening, I realy miss them like losing a friend, the internet can;t replace them,recent purchases of DVD's for daughter made me feel like I was cheating.
..one store reopened in London..chatting to the guy there he said that Peter Jones of the Dragons Den has put his own money in and bought up 30 stores along wih naming rights and closed 300. All oroginal stock went back to suppliers Canon etc and so all new stock purchased from scratch. HMV to follow suit. Regards
Both stores reopening are very good news, they were No1 and No2 on my list of favourite shops,makes me a happy bunny, only downside my bank account will now reverse its upward trend.
Here's hoping they re-open Eastbourne (east sussex)........I'm saving hard for the forthcoming 50-200 fuji lense.

Hello all, I am thinking of getting back into photography, my previos Nikon slr ( film ) was damaged and I could never afford to replace it. My question is, can I use the lenses I have from this previous Nikon on a new one. They are - Nikkor 70-300mm f/4-f/5.6G and another that came with the kit.
If so, I can spend more on a body only and use these to get me started, is the Nikon D90 compatible as this seems resonably priced? Cheers, Carlyboy.

HGTV Message Boards
Favorite Shows
Love it or List it
Just saw the latest episode of love it or list it with Kasha and Patrick, and i love the concept of this new show. I love HGTV I have been watching since I was a kid,
but is it just me or does almost every couple that shows up on these shows-- love it or list it, house hunters, property brothers, property virgins-- is the requirement to be on the show, well, MEAN? I mean, it might make for good television but it is such a turn off to watch these people with low budgets and unrealistically high expectations be so nasty to the designers and realtors about what they want!!! It's getting to be too much HGTV-- please pick classier, less nasty, demanding, and ungrateful people to be on your shows.
I think they are supposed to show us conflict!
Today I just thought over acting- and pictured the Keystone Kops!
I love HGTV dislike love it or list it can't wait till it gets replaced by something more postive and not so phony.
Work, Welcome to the Board. Hope you will visit and post with us.
I agree, I hate how unrealistic homeowners are about renovations. I think Hilary does lovely work, but no one gives her a reasonable amount of money to do it. I find it frustrating!
Everything about this show seems fake to me. From the most obvious things like the designer not having a meeting with the HVAC guy until the middle of the show, right down to the contrived barbs between the spouses. Of course that's just my opinion, and certainly somebody must like this show, considering it was on other networks before HGTV.
The previews for the show "Love it or List it" were quite appealing however after 2 episodes, my husband and I refuse to watch it. It is strangely uncomfortable to watch. The hosts are rude and quite frankly annoying, unlike the understanding hosts on other shows that also provide comic relief. I find the concept interesting however the hosts should either change their attitude or be replaced. I love HGTV but dislike this show.
mezzaluna, I absolutely agree with your critique. We tried watching this again, and the hosts do create a very uncomfortable viewing experience. The real estate agent seems very untrustworthy to me, like some kind of creepy used car salesman, and the designer comes off both unprepared and short tempered.
Once again we are watching HGTV, and asking what we usually ask..."who are these people and how did they get a television show?".
HGTV is simply trying to imitate the drama of the "Hosewives of whatever State" programming.
They have tapped into the reality show mentality, and obviously think that it works.
If you are able to see these program and take whatever you think it may be positive for you, is what you need to do.
Most of these shows should be disposed off, and hopefully we will be able to see good designing programs and other types of programming that would really entice all of the HGTV viewers.
This show has been airing in Canada on the W network for the last couple of years. The episodes now airing on HGTV USA are old, but actually have a new narrator voice. When the show first started, I liked it! But, then it became so FAKE. The fake conflicts & bad acting are a total turn off. One thing that annoys me is that the realtor is essentially given $100,000+ to find a new house, but the designer is given $15,000. How is that fair.
I like the premise of the show, and wish the producers would keep the drama out of it. We are tuning in to see design, not drama.
I agree that it is totally unfair to give the realtor an additional $100,000 or more, and only $30,000 for remodeling, AND THEN the realtor doesn't even have to stay in the area they stipulated. I think the homeowners plan on moving and just use Hillary and the show to get twice as much for their remodeling dollars. None of the homeowners stay in the house during the remodeling process, they've already packed up and moved out!
We did try watching this one more time. Something about this show seems so dishonest. I can't put my finger on it but I feel like everyone involved is a B grade actor. The designer and the real estate agent included, no one seems real or honest.
Agree, more HGTV drama. I'd love to see a postmortem on the homeowners' subsequent sales of their existing homes, YellowCat. I've never known anyone to score 2X on their reno dollars for resale purposes.
I'm watching this show for the first time. I have seen previews for the show, but never had the opportunity to watch it. Now, on this episode there is this couple who's (the DH's) mother is living there. My take on this: Mother needs her own place. If she can afford to go overseas during this show, she can get her own place. I guess I was put out when she said that she has issues with them entertaining in late into the evening and she wants quiet time. Well considering this couple is young,thing like this happen. So if she does not like it, move.
i have to agree with most of you. i can not stand to watch this show anymore. not only is hillary rude and obnoxious but she has no budget sense. when she says "i don't have enough money to do the bathroom" and then the kitchen has custom cabinets and granite counters, i wonder where her priorities are to get as much done as possible for the homeowners. she needs to talk to "Income Property", now that man can stretch a buck. there are so many options that she doesn't seem to look for. are the only people they can find to be on these shows the ones with no concept of home remodeling? won't watch this show again.
The concept behind this show is so interesting, but it's ruined because of the hosts. The decorator in particular is so bitter and appears to do no research before she starts the project. She is so rude to the contractors when they tell her that you can't take down a load-bearing wall... and so nasty to homeowners when they express concern over her plans to take out the closets. It's painful to watch!!
I love the idea of this show, but it is so scripted. There is no way that anyone could honestly be upset with a designer running out of money when it is discovered that they have to get a whole new roof and their budget was only 20,000 to start with.
I can not even watch the show anymore. It makes me so uncomfortable knowing that it is all staged.
I love HGTV but I refuse to watch Love It or List It. Where do you find these people? They are the most obnoxious, angry people. Since most of them end up staying in their homes, it seems like they just do the show to have their house redone. Worst show ever!
My sentiments exactly!!!
I totally agree with you! This show is one of the worst HGTV had done.
I am wondering if they have found anyone who lists their house. I had to stop watching it!
Bad quality "reality TV". Please, take this show off the air before your viewers loose all respect for HGTV.
I like this show. I don't care for the homeowners who expect a lot done with little money. Is it really Hillarys' fault when uncover problems with the house? No, they should be grateful she found them. A ceiling falling done that lead to a infeior ceiling jost that might have collopsed the whole thing. She is not Mike Holmes. She can't redo a whole house for rediculous small buget.
My big issue with Hillary, besides the fact that I think she is too abrupt, is that I don't believe she is really a designer. A professional designer gets a budget from the clients, and then gets quotes from their tradespeople first. Then based on what the cost is going to be, there is a presentation, with the designer expaining to the client before any work starts what they can or cannot have based on the budget and the wish list. It is at this point that the client has the oppotunity to raise the budget or sacrifice some design details to stick to the original cost perameters.
At no time is it up to the designer to arbitrarily change the plan or the budget without the consent/approval of the client.
Once again HGTV insists on giving the general public the wrong impression of how designers handle their business in an effort to be entertaining.It is really insulting to the design community at large.
Hilary is always telling the wife, I will give you everything you want.the next thing she tells the wife, we can't do that after all. I laugh because Hilary never understands why the wife wants to rip her head off and throw it in her face, after she tells them that she messed up again.Every show is the same old thing with the, "Oh Gee whiz, I can't do all of that."
I agree with most posters here. I tried to keep an open mind and watched a couple of the episodes but it was just so uncomfortable that I had to stop. The designer and the agent just don't seem authentic to me and everything is so staged (the anger of the client and the "challenges" the renovation runs into, etc). I know a lot of the other shows in HGTV are staged as well (i.e. House Hunters), but this one is just so so obvious that I just can't stand it. I am also not a fan of Hilary's designs, very cookie-cutter model home kinda look.
The thing is that HGTV is so heavily promoting this show. Every time when there are commercial breaks during other shows, the promotion for this show is the first thing to come up. I am sorry, this is causing me to quickly switch the channel and miss all the other commercials. So note to advertisers: as long as the promotion of this show comes on during every commercial break, I won't be watching any other advertising on HGTV because I have already switched to another channel.
HGTV, this show is probably the weakest on your line up. One question, is the requirement for the homeowner to be the most ungrateful and oblivious people on earth? Do the Producers intentionally find homeowners with most problem prone homes (electrical, plumbing and heating issues) of the homeowners with the world's smallest budgets that DEMAND new kitchens, all new bathrooms?
Every couple (on Episodes I've watched) are completely clueless about the cost and potential pitfalls to renovations AND the most demanding , egotistical people. After watching every episode it's time for another high blood pressure pill.
How about actually spending your money on a show that help homeowners who have been adversely affected by the downturn in the economy and help real people, who would just be grateful for the opportunity to fix problems in the homes or just get a face lift in hard times?
Sorry HGTV but this show gets TWO thumbs down!!!
Wouldn't that be a wonderful show!
This show is so predictable. The third house will be the best one and Hilary will find some sort of major problem with the renovation. Come on, let's get some variety into the show. Also, the arguments between all of them are really staged badly.

I agree totally I cannot stand this show and I feel like its being crammed down our throat. I guess it must be doing well or they wouldn't do it, but I really don't like it.
I have to agree,this show irratates the h*** outta me,I don't believe I have seen one show where something DIDN'T go wrong and all the expectations were met? same on property brothers,how much do these people have to keep spending to get what they want???? No wonder most of them LIST IT LOL This message has been edited. Last edited by: CC-IMO,
Well, it seems unanimous. This show is highly irritating and too contrived. Both of the hosts are rude and, basically, appear to be incompetent. I hope HGTV sees that this program needs to be cancelled.
lol...extremely irritating.....i dont get why its still on the air..
It may still be on the air because its like a train wreck- I have to watch......
I don't think the host are rude, just handicapped by what they are given. You can't have a wish list full of everything and expect to get it cheap. Hillary is given a usually small budget for fixing up the house. She can't see what is behind walls, ceilings or floors. When she opens up the place and finds unexpected problems and informs the homeowner is when I can't understand their reaction. She can't help it if the wall they want removed is load bearing and if she moves it the house will fall down. They still want it removed. Stupid people. It cost a lot to put steel beams in to take they load. Is it her fault the plumbing is all wrong and rusted? No, they complain and grip. And David has the hard task of trying to find a better house in the neighborhood for the same price. You can't move up without paying more. At least he tries. (Although some of the places I've seen, I wouldn't want either. Smaller bedrooms for one.)
I'd love for Hillary to come to my place and give me ideas. I could sure use them.
Some of the problems Hillary finds, would bite the homeowners eventually when they go to sell or down the road if they decide to love it.(ie plumbing, roof etc). If they don't cough up money to fix a problem they would have anyway, then they deserve to have it come out of the remodeling budget.
I'm kind of feeling more on Hillarys side than on the homeowners at this time.
I also have to agree with the latter posts, there are discloser laws and any major problems HAVE to be reported to the buyer or they can sue the pants off you,Hilary really can't help some of these major problems that come up,so why in heavens name invest in a different property with possible new set of problems? just wondering???This message has been edited.

One thing about this show- it has us talking!
True! I've never felt compelled to write in about a TV show.
I like Love it or List it, but definitely see a pattern. Hillary makes promises based on the homeowners pipe dream of having all the rooms remodeled/expanded without a sufficient budget. There is always an issue with some unforeseen problem…electrical, plumbing, code violation,etc.
Hilary's design style is very pleasing to the eye, it takes into consideration the owners may remain in the house and the updated style is functional, there was one episode where the kitchen was well destigned...may have been the show with Desta.
On the other hand, David initially shows the couple 2 bad houses then the last house they show is the house the couple chooses to buy, if they do decide to list their current home.
Obviously, they need some kind of drama to extend the show to one hour. But I will keep watching, I am always inspired by the before & after versions of the updated spaces.
Ok, I'm watching the repeat of McKeon-Bryce show. Those people were unrealistic. Nothing pleased them at all. Who would take a three bedroom house and turn it into two? I would. In fact I have been thinking along those lines. I have a small bedroom and it would make either a nice larger bathroom,I could then turn the very small bathroom into a laundry room, or a nice large walk in closet.
I wish I had the money right now to do it. People on the show want miricles. Not enough money to fix things and get really upset when things they find crop up. Better to find them now than go blindly along until disaster strikes later.
I saw the premier and thought "this show has something others didn't" The latest with all the drama had me decide to not watch.
I can get ideas without the drama.
The hosts don't bother me as much as the clients do. Some I would like to smack across the kisser. They are so mean and downright nasty.
I don't like love it or list it.
She is given a budget. She goes to show the contractor what she wants. Then they have already started on remodeling and now it is going to cost more to go back and fix it or tear it down. If they were good designers and contractors they would have gone over everything before the work even started.
Since we're scraping the bottom of the barrel here wouldn't it be " My sediments exactly" ?
I can't watch any more! They most be actors, you can have conflict without being nasty? It's unrealistic to do what these homeowners expect. I also hate how the contractors make decisions without checking with Hilary and Hilary does not formally talk to homeowners first. This show should be on Disney Channel or something. They must think we are stupid to believe this! I'm so over it.
This is the most obnoxious show on this network. Hilary and David's attitudes and styles are akin to fingernails on a chalkboard.
I will not watch this show because it's too over the top.
She always has problems, and he whines all the time.
So annoying.
Too funny, Charles. And, can you imagine either of us telling our clients "Oh, yes, I know you wanted this and this, however we ran into a teensy little problem so we're going to have to cut that part of it out but we'll make the remaining items on your list look really good". I don't think either of us would be in business very long!
This is truely an awful show. The realtor is so conceited it is annoying. A non-design issue always comes up and destroys all design plans. If you really want to follow the premise of the show, give the design team a chance and make up for the furnace breaking down or the basement leaking. Not to mention the over acting. Please either fix this awful show or put us all out of our misery and cancel it.
One of HGTV's silliest shows on the air. I watched two episodes recently and knew I wouldn't watch going forward. What is with the obviously staged back-and-forth that goes on between the realtor guy and the designer lady?
Then at the end when the homeowners are making their decision to love or list, the realtor and designer are in a hushed argument in the background (or foreground, depending on the camera shot) and it is just silly. In the end when the designer loses, she complains about having to buy the realtor a drink because she "lost". Oh please.
I'm Good As Long As It's Feng Shui!

Seeing as it has been unseasonably warm so far this winter, i was curious what the long term forecasts are predicting? It seems as though its finally cold up there, but almost no snow fall so far in the season.
What do we think snow levels will be like in tucks in late feb. Avalanche dangers at that time? I am planning a trip that is dependent on a good cache of snow in the ravines for late feb and have started to get a little worried.
Any information (i'll even take guesses) would be helpful.

Adairsville, the No. 2 seed from Region 5-AAA, lost to Hart County, the No. 3 in Region 8-AAA. Gordon Central, the No. 3 seed from Region 5-AAA, lost to Morgan County, the No. 2 seed from Region 8-AAA. Ringgold, the No. 4 seed from Region 5-AAA, lost to North Oconee, the No. 1 seed from Region 8-AAA.
"Our victory against Jackson County showed just how important it is to be the No. 1 seed in your region and having home field advantage during the state playoffs," coach Frank Barden said.
Less than 24 hours after the Canes improved to 11-0, coach Barden conceded he was more relieved than excited that his team was moving on in the playoffs.
"I was very concerned, because I knew Jackson County could move the ball on us," said Barden after spending Saturday morning watching Friday night's game at Weinman Stadium on film.
Move the ball they did.
The Panthers' 21 points was the most allowed by the Canes' defense since its 40-22 victory over North Murray back in Week 4. The Panthers' ball-control offense amassed 399 yards of total offense and accounted for 28 out of their 30 first downs. The other two coming on back-to-back, 15-yard penalties. But a turnover on first-and-goal from Cartersville's 1-yard line, an incomplete pass on fourth-and-goal at the Canes' 4-yard-line and an ill-advised fake punt attempt deep in its own territory proved to be Jackson County's undoing.
It was 14-0 Cartersville when Jackson County (6-5) attempted a fake punt attempt on fourth down and eight and its own 28-yard line. Three plays later, Brooks Barden threw a 10-yard touchdown pass to T.L. Ford.
"It's a play I definitely would want back," Panthers' coach Benji Harrison said.
For Brooks Barden, his six touchdown passes against Jackson County quite possibly set a school record.
"We don't keep statistics like that, so it is hard to say if it was a school record or not," coach Barden said. "But until somebody says otherwise, it was"
The junior quarterback threw for 218 yards and ran for more than 100 yards.
Overall, the two opposing quarterbacks were a combined 38-of-72 and totaled 441 yards in passing.
All three Jackson County touchdowns were scored by Daivon Ledford.
When Barden wasn't throwing touchdown passes, the Canes found other ways to score. Brandon Long had a 2-yard touchdown run and Kobie Whitfield closed out the Canes scoring onslaught with a 65-yard interception return late in the fourth quarter.
With the victory, the Canes once again have home field advantage when they host the Blessed Trinity Titans this coming Friday in the second round of the Class AAA state playoffs.
The Titans, 9-2 and the No. 2-seed from Region 6-AAA, defeated White County, the No. 3 seed from Region 7-AAA, 35-14.
GAINING RESPECT: With almost 10 players from last year's playoff team signing to play football collegiately, the Adairsville Tigers' 2012 edition garnered far less attention than its 10-2 predecessor.
Coach Jim Kremer said this season's team fought for its respect throughout.
"This group was really working hard trying to gain the respect of people," Kremer said. "They were hearing a lot of things after last year's [final] game, all the way through the offseason, that we weren't gonna be any good, and we proved 'em wrong and then we were able to win games and get in the playoffs as a second seed."
"That, in itself, I think, is tremendous," the fourth-year Adairsville coach continued. "And, of course, Marcus [Childers] being a 10th-grade quarterback, everybody was kind of speculating [how good we would be] … so I think we did a lot of good things."
Childers, who rushed for 123 yards and a touchdown in the Tigers' 32-11 loss to Hart County Friday, guided Bartow County's northernmost prep team back to the playoffs.
Adairsville stood at 2-2 in late September, but the Tigers reeled off three straight wins before closing out the regular season with back-to-back victories, an upset of Gordon Central — at the time Region 5-AAA's 2-seed — as well as a playoff-clinching triumph at Coahulla Creek.
Though it finished shy of last year's mark with a 7-4 record, Adairsville managed something not even the 2011 Tigers could do — host a playoff game, the team's first since 2003.
With a talented signal-caller in Childers and Kremer and his staff still at the control, Adairsville may just find itself destined for another run at the postseason in 2013.

UM-Dearborns College of Business (COB) recently received two grants totaling $225,000 to support business growth in Michigan.
September 6, 2011
UM-Dearborns College of Business (COB) recently received two grants totaling $225,000 to support business growth in Michigan.
The first grant funds research to help the Michigan Department of Transportation understand the processes and communication tools associated with its Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Program. The yearlong $200,000 project will be conducted in partnership with researchers from UM-Dearborns Center for Innovation Research - iLabs and Connected Vehicle Proving Center along with two minority-owned Michigan businesses -- ASG Renaissance and Somat Engineering.
The research team will survey MDOT staff and stakeholder DBE firms to understand how to improve the current program and communication tools. Interviews with other governmental agencies also will help identify the best practices and processes for MDOT to consider as the department revises its program. Outcomes from the research are expected to include tools to improve communications and awareness of the MDOT DBE program, which will be utilized to increase the number of women and minority-owned firms bidding on its projects.
The second grant of $25,000 from the Michigan Initiative for Innovation and Entrepreneurship (MIIE) will support the Business of Franchising Initiative in the 2012 academic year. MIIE is a partnership between Michigan's public universities and the philanthropic community to strengthen ties between academia and industry while encouraging start-up and small business growth.
The Initiative, the first of its kind on a Michigan university campus, will increase awareness among students and young alumni regarding franchising as a business and career option while demonstrating how franchising is a viable growth strategy for start-up firms and existing businesses in Michigan.
The Initiative will support several on-campus events featuring franchisee owners, leaders from the corporate parents, and experts in areas associated with franchising who will discuss the issues specific to franchising and how those issues relate more broadly to business ownership. An advisory group will help shape the program's content to make participating students ready for internships and careers in franchising. The advisory group -- which will include leaders from Little Caesars, H&R Block, Great Harvest Bread Company, and FranNet -- also will recruit speakers and suggest areas of research to assist the industry's growth in Michigan.
