Alto Vineyards Winery & Tasting Room
Nestled in the Shawnee Hills of Southern Illinois, sits Alto Vineyards, the region's oldest, most award-winning winery. Founded in 1988 by Guy Renzaglia, Alto introduced a new industry to the area, starting a movement that has altered its landscape. Today, Alto Vineyards shares the region with 11 other wineries along the Shawnee Hills Wine Trail, in the state's first federally recognized grape-growing region, known as an American Viticultural Area (AVA). While continuing to produce some of Illinois' finest wine, Alto opened a new tasting room in Champaign, IL, and began distributing throughout the state and surrounding regions. Celebrating 25 years in business in 2013, Alto constructed a new, modern tasting room next to the vineyard in Alto Pass. Resting atop the new facility lies an outdoor deck for customers to take in the view on one of southern Illinois' oldest vineyards – a truly breathtaking sight that exemplifies the beauty of the Shawnee National Forest and Illinois wine country.

I have no this Shakers Prayer, but scanned pics from TSI bulletin Fall '91
and Fall '96 maybe will help you. I think ShPr have more extended zone of
white signal than shown in your photo. From other hand the angle of your
photo is not the best to study fall blade pattern. The colors of both photos
were different: one more red violet , other with blue shades. What is true?
Maybe middle. Hope this will help you some.

Special device for blind and visually impaired, that solves three major problems:
obstacle avoidance, geo-navigation and image recognition.
Oriense created technology, which helps blind users to reach the desired place, avoiding all obstacles and getting all necessary information. The technology is based on combination of computer vision with satellite navigation, and on our custom hardware.
Multifunctional GPS / GLONASS navigator designed specifically for blind people. Fully autonomous, no need to connect to mobile networks. The design and interface are thought out for easy and intuitive device control and information receiving.
Special extension for the navigator that uses 3D-camera to gather information about the environment. It allows to navigate safely, especially by detecting dangerous objects in advance, as well it helps in recognition of different objects.
Alia Nurullina
Many thanks to Oriense for stimulating to everyday walks!
Valery Khristianov
You are very advanced. I have a variety of different devices and I actively watch over what appears in the West. So you have the best solution at the moment, with everything we need and a user-friendly interface.
Max Belsky
This is the most reliable navigator with the most detailed maps. After using for 30 minutes I became convinced that it is simply irreplaceable in the city. Guys, buy Oriense !!! Good incentive to integrate into society. Good luck to the developers!
Igor Volkov
Everything works really like in the podcasts, I became convinced in practice. GPS running fast. I tried to add my geo-point - fine, returned exactly to the same place. Every day OrNavi only pleases.
The navigator guides you through a route at the same time exploring the surrounding objects. Now you do not have to come to each door and ask what is there :) Enough to enable auto-notifications and to walk on areas of interest and find lot of useful information.
First of all I want to thank you for creating the necessary devices for the blind.
Navigator catches satellites very good, very well designed navigation instructions, and a big plus is that OrNavi works with bluetooth devices and external cameras that extends the capabilities.
Navigator helps to quickly learn new routes. I'm a lot better represent my city now.
Recently I was in Ufa, and in an unfamiliar city had to move from one station to another.
With the "map exploration" mode i found the necessary stop
and using the transport mode I reached the target.

Adam Lambert Confirms Queen Concert Special in Julyby Hilton Hater at . Comments
Reports of Adam Lambert taking over as the lead singer of Queen, for a prolonged summer tour, may have been premature.
But the former American Idol runner-up has now confirmed that he'll stand in as the frontman for this iconic rock band for one unique evening in England.
"I have been invited by Queen to sing one very special concert! Sonisphere at Knebworth July 7th!" the 30-year-old artist Tweeted last night, adding: "Sorry to be coy about the details the past few weeks, but I made a promise to keep it under wraps as best I could. Gonna be a surreal night!"
Lambert, who has pushed back the release of his new album by a few weeks in order to improve its material, unveiled the official video for "Better Than I Know Myself" earlier this month.

There were fears last night about the scapegoating of successful doctors after the public release of surgical mortality data revealed that a third of patients died under the knife of a respected consultant.
The statistics, relating to more than 450 doctors who perform surgery involving blood vessels, were released yesterday morning – the first in a Department of Health bid to "drive better care".
Before their publication online, Norman Williams, president of the Royal College of Surgeons (RCS), said the publication should not be viewed as a means of "trashing professional reputations".
Yesterday, one consultant found himself under huge scrutiny and pressure from Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt's "revolution in transparency". Simon Payne, a consultant vascular surgeon at Portsmouth Hospitals NHS Trust, was ranked bottom in his field in England.
Mr Payne, who graduated from Leicester University Medical School in 1986 and lists his interests as sailing in the Solent and piano playing, performed elective open abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) surgeries.
The procedures, described as "major operations" by the Vascular Society, have an average mortality rate of 4 per cent when patients have open surgery to the abdomen. Those treated by an endovascular repair – a stent graft inserted through the groin – have a 1 per cent mortality rate, on average.
But Mr Payne's patients, who write on his website of his "lovely way" and relaxing manner, had a mortality rate of 31.3 per cent in 16 surgeries. "It's ridiculous," said one of his colleagues yesterday.
Despite repeated attempts, Mr Payne was unavailable for comment. In a statement, Ursula Ward, the trust's chief executive, said: "This surgeon should not be on the Vascular Registry for this operation as he has not undertaken this form of surgery since 2011." She added that Mr Payne had stopped performing the surgical procedure after shoulder surgery, adding that his "outcomes fell within the acceptable limit". By 3pm yesterday the online data had been changed, with Mr Payne's name removed.
Six surgeons refused to have their data included: Richard Bird, who works for Barnet and Chase Farm Hospitals NHS Trust, Rob Lonsdale from Sheffield Teaching Hospitals, Hull Royal Infirmary's Peter McCollum, Leszek Wolowczyk from Tameside Hospital, North Manchester General Hospital consultant Manmohan Madan, and Patrick Kent, understood to work at Spire Health in Leeds.
Their reasons for abstention included objections against data quality, the way figures are "risk adjusted", and opposition to having their data in the public domain. All six perform within the "expected range", health officials said. The Sherwood Forest Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust has performed relatively few of the AAA operations but has among the highest mortality rates with 14.3 per cent. It has two consultants, Irfan Akhtar and Khalid Makhdoomi, with mortality rates of 22.2 and 12.5 per cent respectively after performing a combined 25 AAAs.
Dr Nabeel Ali, the trust's medical director, said the figures were "historical" with the vascular surgical procedures no longer being performed. He said: "The apparently high mortality rates quoted reflect the small number of patients operated upon."
Speaking yesterday, an RCS source said that the first tranche of data had failed to expose failing surgeons, adding that data published tomorrow and on Monday would be likely to reveal "outlier figures" of unusually high mortality rates.

Sensenbrenner Statement on European Court of Justice Ruling
Today, Congressman Jim Sensenbrenner released the following statement on the ruling made by the European Court of Justice:
Congressman Sensenbrenner: "I'm disappointed that the European Court of Justice decided on such a bold move. The United States has taken great strides to build strong data protection and privacy controls, such as USA FREEDOM, which was the first curtailment of surveillance authority in the U.S. since the 1970s. It was a thoughtful rethinking of our national security laws that few other countries have undertaken. With the Judicial Redress Act, Congress has taken additional steps toward providing global citizens' rights over their own data. These efforts will continue in the U.S., as they should abroad, but we must maintain an environment of cooperation and goodwill with our allies. I urge EU and US officials to address this issue and to work to maintain the healthy commercial relationship the EU and the US have worked so hard to build."

Mexican Cream Guavas
Inventory, lb : 0
|Garcia Organic Farms
Mexican Cream guavas offer aromas of pineapple and passion fruit. Mexican Cream guava are small to medium-small, roundish fruits have a pale yellow skin that is often slightly blushed with red. The flesh is creamy, white, thick and aromatic. Mexican Cream guavas are sweet, with a classically tropical guava flavor. They have a small seed cavity that holds a handful of soft seeds.
In warmer tropical-like climates, guavas can grow year-round. These Southern California guavas are harvested in the fall.
Current Facts
Mexican Cream guava is also known as Tropical Yellow guava, for the region in which it thrives.
The pulp is the most widely used part of the Mexican Cream guava. Slice the guava lengthwise, remove the seeds (if their crunch is undesirable) and cut the white flesh into chunks. The chunks can be boiled down to make marmalade, sauces, and syrups or used to make a paste. The guava paste is paired with creamy cheeses, like mascarpone or cream cheese in Mexico to make a dish known as bocadillo con queso.
The origin of the Mexican Cream guava lies in its name. The fruit can be found growing throughout Mexico and Central America and has adapted to many other tropical climates. It can be found in farmer's markets in the southern US.

Fake Comments
Do I really have to explan this? It's as simple as this:
I hate fake comments on my work.
Some people get sooo desperate.... Oh my gosh! They say the same thing to EVERYONE!
Your work is great... You work well with words...
Then they'll give you a reading request. Haha.. Well, I know, I said the last chapter "Even if you have to lie and say you liked it" Well I mean there might be a reason you didn't like it. That's when constructive criticism comes in! Here's an example:
Hey, I got your reading reqeust and this is my comment. Well, I saw some gramatical errors, some incomplete sentences, and some spelling errors. (List the error/s) I mean, the overall idea was great, but next time try to check the errors.
Well, that's on other peoples works. Don't even bother telling me I have spelling errors; I use word, hell, I have an editor too. I hand him my works, he gives me pointers, I thank him. Easy as pie.
I get it, Word sometimes doesn't recognize errors. If I have a feeling a word isn't correct still, I look it up. Nuff said.
I hate it when people say 'Your chapters are way too small." Are you writing my story? Uh, no! So don't tell me my chapters are too short. I try to have a bare minimum of 990 words in my writing, as in novels. Short stories for me are, well, short. like 500 words.
So, that's my rant for today.

Federal court will not delay decision striking down North Carolina voter ID law
Don't miss stories. Follow Raw Story!
A U.S. appeals court issued an order on Thursday denying North Carolina's motion to stay the court's decision last week striking down the state's voter ID law.
The 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said staying its ruling now "would only undermine the integrity and efficiency of the upcoming election." On Friday, the court ruled that the North Carolina law, which required voters to show photo identification when casting ballots, intentionally discriminated against African-American residents.

The only woman in the picture, it appeared, was the Mars rover herself, named after an escaped woman slave, and fondly referred to as a "she". Unlike Dr Who's K-9, or Star Wars 3CPO, Sojourner was plainly a girl, faithfully combing the surface of the Red Planet under orders from the men at mission control.
There are, in fact, two females on the Mars team. While Sojourner hogged the limelight from space this week, snapping postcard pictures of the Martian dawn, on Earth, it was 55-year-old Donna Shirley who was giving the interviews to CNN and Good Morning America.
Viewers might well have assumed that Shirley was just a spokeswoman for the Mars mission with a gift of the gab and plenty of pithy anecdotes. In fact, she runs it. "I am manager of the Mars Exploration Program," is how Donna Shirley introduces herself on a chatty Nasa World Wide Web site for schoolchildren alongside a jolly photo of herself in a yellow plastic map. "Currently, I manage three flight projects and the studies of future projects to Mars."
When she took science classes rather than home economics in her Bible- belt school in a tiny Oklahoma town, she says, she was constantly ribbed. When she enrolled in aeronautical engineering at college, en route to a master's degree, her shocked adviser told her: "Girls can't be engineers." Thirty years later space science is still a man's world. Twenty-three women astronauts have flown on the shuttle. Dr Jan Davis, 53, will make her third flight as a mission specialist this week. But few women apply to the astronaut corps, a Nasa spokeswoman said.
The early pioneers of the final frontier were all men. Today the gender gap is most pronounced in the boffins' back rooms, where women have struggled to make and maintain their inroads, as they have in other science fields.
In the 1990s, the consoles at Mission Control in Cape Canaveral are almost all "manned", just as they were for the launch and rescue of Apollo 13. "We're two for two," Shirley announced triumphantly when Pathfinder lifted off, shortly after Global Surveyor, another, slower, Martian mission that she oversees.
Mother to one daughter, divorced from another JPL scientist, Shirley is credited with creating and managing the low-budget effort that turned a lovable 22lb robot into the biggest space sensation since Neil Armstrong. No shrinking violet, she boasts that "everyone said it could not be done ... I convinced headquarters to spend the money on the project. I assembled the team."
Her resume noted she spends "five to 10 hours a week" on media interviews, even before the explosion of publicity on Pathfinder.
Shirley has been one of the boys at the JPL laboratory since 1966, when she arrived as an aerodynamicist on an early Mars lander mission that was later cancelled by Congress. She was inspired by Arthur C Clarke's book Sands of Mars, about a Martian colony, which she read at the age of 12. Over the past 30 years, she has assembled an encylopaedic knowledge of the planet.
"I think she advanced to a position of real leadership because she is unusually capable, and she was able to articulate her case so well," a former JPL director told the Los Angeles Times. Since she took the top job, she has hired six people, three women and one black man. She is not apologetic for appointments that seem politically, and sexually, correct. "It is true that women have to work harder than men to get as far, because most of the managers are men."

Bangladeshi bloggers
A new project on Bangladeshi bloggers facing persecution and death at the hands of the violent religious right was launched last term. The project, organised by The Swadhinata Trust UK, aims to report on the key human rights issues related to the recent murders and attacks on secular, human rights and rationalist bloggers in Bangladesh. The project will produce a comprehensive online toolkit to provide support to bloggers currently under serious threat. The project is coordinated with the Centre, which is providing research and other support.

Dr Claire Moon was invited to present a paper at the Senator George J. Mitchell Institute for Global Peace, Security and Justice at Queens' University, Belfast at a panel entitled 'Representing Disappearance' on 9th January 2017. Her paper, entitled 'Ventriloquists of the object world', spoke to the role of forensic visualisation in representing the dead and disappeared victims of mass atrocity.
Dr Moon also has a new publication in a key volume of collected papers on forensic biohistory. Her contribution looks at the role of forensic biohistory in investigations of atrocity: Clair Moon (2017) 'The biohistory of atrocity or the social life of human remains' in Christopher M. Stojanowski and William N. Duncan (eds.) Studies in Forensic Biohistory (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press).
The Investment & Human Rights Project (IHR Project) at the Laboratory for Advanced Research on the Global Economy closed its doors on 1 November 2016 after three successful years - and a year longer than its original mandate. During its operation, the IHR Project delivered an impressive list of concrete results, including developing the innovative Investment & Human Rights Learning Hub – which will continue – and carrying out capacity building on the State Duty to Protect in investment policymaking at high-level workshops in Colombia and Indonesia. The IHR Project also became a focal point for civil society, governments, international institutions and others seeking to make sense of the entry points for human rights in investment, and the Project was an active contributor to international policy debates on the subject. It contributed to the work of the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights and the UN Working Group on Business and Human Rights on issues related to investment contracts and the reform of IIAs; produced an on-line Guide for how States can integrate the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights into their investment policymaking and worked with governments to support this integration; hosted policy discussions on investment and human rights in international fora including UNCTAD and the OECD and contributed to the discussion on the reform of the investment treaty regime and the negotiation of the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP), including at a meeting with the European Commission.
The IHR Project co-leads Andrea Shemberg and Andrea Saldarriaga will remain involved with the Laboratory for Advanced Research on the Global Economy and the ongoing management of the Learning Hub as a key resource for States, companies, lawyers, academics and civil society as Visiting Fellows at the Centre for the Study of Human Rights.

The study by Margot Salomon and Olivier De Schutter on Economic Policy Conditionality, Socio-Economic Rights and International Legal Responsibility is cited by the United Nations Independent Expert on foreign debt and human rights after his recent visit to the EU institutions. The aim of his visit was to assess the response of the institutions and member States of the European Union to the sovereign debt and financial crisis from a human rights perspective. The Independent Expert's full findings and recommendations will be presented in his report to the UN Human Rights Council in March 2017.
SPEAK OUT! In this piece on Development under Uncertainty in the Arab World, Dr Ali Kadri discusses obstacles to development in the Arab world with emphasis on the baleful impact of conflicts. He tells us about the social efficiency criterion, the legal corruption of institutional lenders, and how private interests exhibit a necrotrophic relationship with the public sector or indigenous economy. The key question to investigate, it is said, is the relationship between wars and violent social order restructuring.
LSE produced a case study to map the important work by Dr Margot Salomon over the past several years on socio-economic rights, and duties, beyond borders. The case study is meant to engage a wide audience and highlights the findings in her book on international human rights law and world poverty, her contribution to the drafting of the Maastricht Principles on Extraterritorial Obligations of States in the Area of Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, and, most recently, her research on austerity in Greece and the responsibility of international creditors. The case study can be found here and the video with commentaries from Zoe Konstantopoulou, former Speaker of the Greek Parliament, and Juan Pablo Bohoslavsky, the UN Independent Expert on Foreign Debt and Human Rights, can be found here.
On 16 November, the Investment and Human Rights Project (IHRP) at the Centre's Laboratory for Advanced Research on the Global Economy and the UN Working Group on Business and Human Rights hosted a joint session at the UN Annual Forum on Business and Human Rights. The session addressed how States should implement the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPS) in the context of investment policy, drawing on the recent work by the IHRP in Colombia and Indonesia. The UN Panel discussion brought together representatives from both countries to discuss the current plans for investment policy to be included in their respective National Action Plans to implement the UNGPs. Andrea Shemberg of the IHRP participated on the Panel along with a representative of Rio Tinto. Dante Pesce of the working group moderated. The UN Annual Forum is a public meeting, but registration was required here

Tournament time turns up heat on UCLA's Howland
LOS ANGELES – There was a tinge of nostalgia in Ben Howland's voice as he stood in front of reporters the Tuesday before the Pac-12 Tournament, on the eve of an especially important two-week stretch for UCLA's much-maligned coach – a stretch that begins with Arizona State on Thursday.
This week is nothing particularly new for Howland; he has been to plenty of conference tournaments before, winning two of them in his 10 years in Westwood. He has won even more regular-season titles – a feat he accomplished for the fourth time Saturday after his Bruins held on to beat Washington in Seattle.
Howland isn't usually one for reflection, but he has learned to appreciate the moments a little more as he has gotten older, he said. Asked whether this year's title may mean more, he refused to differentiate.
"They're all special," he said, a smile creeping across his face.
Howland's three conference titles – and Final Four appearances – in three seasons once served as the top line on his resume, a mark that branded him among college basketball's coaching elite. But as fickle fans around Los Angeles have grown tired of his coaching style and the UCLA basketball program's diminishing returns, those titles and appearances have seemingly slipped into nostalgia as well.
"I appreciate it more because I am 55 years old," Howland said of his recent Pac-12 title. "I have a little more perspective. And also, the appreciation of going through tough years and bouncing back and getting a championship does make it special."
Those tough years amounted to a 56-43 record over his past three seasons – a period that included a Sports Illustrated scandal and departure of several blue-chip talents, all of which seemed to shed light on Howland's lack of institutional control. Since then, Howland's seat has almost consistently been hot.
This season, those questions have lingered under the surface, consistently re-emerging whenever the young, yet talented, Bruins – Howland's least experienced group to date – have slipped up. And they have slipped up plenty of times under Howland's watch, including losses at home to Cal Poly and USC and, most recently, a blowout defeat at the hands of Pac-12 bottom feeder Washington State.
Mistakes have often been linked to the Bruins' lack of motivation at times this season, and showing it on the floor – something Howland has blamed himself for on a number of occasions. But, as he has made sure to point out, UCLA always has bounced back this season from its biggest mistakes and been all the better for them. After losing to Cal Poly and San Diego State in a three-game span, the Bruins won 10 in a row. And during the Pac-12 conference slate, after losing three of four, UCLA finished by winning seven of nine.
Turnarounds like that are often credited to a coach, but that hasn't been the case with Howland this season. He has dealt with an angry alum in Bill Walton berating and openly questioning him on national television. Before the conference schedule even began, he was forced to answer questions about rumors of a midseason dismissal. Still, the slight adjustments Howland has made this season are palpable. And much to the dismay of his opposition, many of them have worked.
Practices this season, with almost a brand new team from last year, began strict and structured in Howland's 10th year in Westwood. Freshman phenom Shabazz Muhammad described the early days of his coach as "tight," as the young Bruins played and practiced in a style they weren't used to. And as UCLA stumbled out of the gate, it showed.
Since, however, in a season teeming with anxiety, Howland has relaxed. Practices have changed. This year's Bruins run a faster, simpler, and more wide-open offense than any he has had since coming to Los Angeles. And given UCLA's personnel, Howland's continued departure from his usual offense was a potentially season-changing adjustment.
"He's loosened up," freshman Jordan Adams said. "He lives with our mistakes more now. He just lets us play. He trusts us out there on the court."
But will Bruins fans be able to live with their long-time coach's mistakes much longer?
That remains to be seen. But there was a certain undeniable pride behind Howland's brief bout with nostalgia on Tuesday afternoon.
"We expected to win (the Pac-12 title)," Howland said. "That's how it is here. You expect to win it every year."
He paused, thinking hard about his next sentence. A smile spread across his face.
"I think our fans do, too, if I'm not mistaken," Howland said.

Adobe Launches 'Experience Business' Software Wave
At its Adobe Summit 2016, Adobe introduced the concept of the "experience business," where businesses sell experiences more than just products.LAS VEGAS—At its annual Adobe Summit here, Adobe announced a series of new features and capabilities to the Adobe Marketing Cloud, which saw its largest quarterly revenues last quarter. Brad Rencher, executive vice president and general manager of the Digital Marketing Business at Adobe, said the industry is in what he refers to as the third wave right now. He described the first two waves as the back-office and front-office waves, respectively. The back-office wave saw software developed for in-house processes, including inventory control, payroll and accounting. The front-office wave ushered in customer relationship management (CRM) solutions to help businesses streamline their data to better interact with customers. Now, the third wave is upon us, Rencher said—the "experience business" wave. Technology from both the back-office and front-office waves is now ubiquitous and now simply "table stakes," he said. "The previous two waves were about us—they helped us do our jobs more efficiently, but this (the third wave) is about the consumer," Rencher said. "To accomplish this wave, the enterprise as a whole needs to become experience-based. It is the new competitive high ground."
Indeed, Adobe CEO Shantanu Narayen said, "Life is made so much better through digital experiences. Digital experience needs to be provocative, personal and predictive." Put another way, Rencher said, "We're no longer in the business of selling products; we're in the business of selling experiences."

Vybe Audio HP-1 Headphone Cable A few months ago, at the Official San Francisco 2015 Head-Fi Meet, Vybe Audio debuted a new series of headphone cables. As I gave their cables a cursory examination, I found them to be severely lacking. None of the wires were dipped in fairy tears, nor did the cable employ a novel and patent-pending geometry. They didn't even bother to use unicorn hair as a dielectric. And of course, they didn't have any pixie dust in their solder. Heck, I'd even bet that there are only trace amounts of snake oil - at best. What the **** kind of half-assed cable was this?! And then, there's the name of...(read more)

But this time around, the mayhem monitor actually helped solve the kidnapping of a young girl. Police in Massachusetts were trying to track down a missing 9-year-old girl who had allegedly been kidnapped by her grandmother. They had managed to find the girl's cellphone coordinates and traced it to an intersection in Virginia. Advertisement Advertisement Since they were nowhere near Virginia, the policemen turned to Google Street View to help them round up possible hiding-out locations. They identified a building that looked like a motel, confirmed it was one with a subsequent Google search and then called the Virginia State Police, who visited the motel and found the grandmother and the girl.The moral of this story is: Police know how to Google now.

Do you have questions about what it takes to get a mortgage loan in 2016? If so, you should download our free e-book, How to Qualify for a Home Loan in 2016. This 55-page guide was fully updated in September 2015 and includes the latest lending trends.
How to Qualify for a Home Loan
This book provides an overview of mortgage lending trends and standards in 2015, and what we expect to see in 2016. It is based on our own lender surveys and questionnaires, government studies, industry reports, and many hours of research.
It is designed to give home buyers and mortgage shoppers a general sense of what it takes to qualify for a home loan in 2016.
What you'll find inside the book:
- QM rule: In 2014, the federal government enacted a new rule known as the Qualified Mortgage, or QM. Chapter 1 of the e-book explains how this new rule has impacted the lending industry, and how it could affect you as a borrower. (Hint: It's all about income verification these days!)
- Down payments: How much do borrowers have to put down to qualify for a home loan these days? We asked dozens of lenders this question, and they responded. Chapter 2 of How to Qualify for a Home Loan explains down-payment trends and requirements in 2016.
- Credit scores: Chapter 3 of the e-book answers one of the most common questions among mortgage shoppers: "What credit score do I need to qualify for a loan these days?" Here's the good news — lenders appear to be relaxing their standards in 2015, where credit scores are concerned. This means it might be easier to qualify for a home loan in 2016.
- Debt ratios: Debt-to-income (DTI) ratios have become one of the most important qualification criteria for borrowers. While lenders have always paid attention to debt burdens, they are giving them even more scrutiny today. You'll learn why, and how it affects you as a borrower, in Chapter 4 of the book.
- Documents: In 2014, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) introduced its new "Ability-to-Repay" rule. We asked lenders how this new rule affects the way they qualify borrowers for financing. You might be surprised by what they had to tell us. It's all included in Chapter 5.
- Employment: There's a common misconception that borrowers need at least two years of steady employment to qualify for a home loan. But that's not always true. Underwriters are mostly concerned with the "likelihood of job continuance." Chapter 6 of How to Qualify for a Home Loan in 2016 explains this concept in detail.
- Pre-approval, underwriting and final approval: Consumers are often confused about the differences between mortgage pre-approval, underwriting, and final approval. Chapter 7 explains what takes place during each of these stages, and what you can do to keep your loan on track through closing.
- Bonus: Shaving a few basis points off your interest rate could save you thousands over the life of your loan. How to Qualify for a Home Loan in 2016 includes a 12-page bonus section that explains what it takes to get the best interest rate in the current market. It also explains how borrowers can "buy down" their rates by using discount points.

Refactoring C# Code With ReSharper Help
A pattern that I do quite often is to first right out code that actually works, then when I see a pattern repeat itself, I like to refactor that code to try and avoid the repetitive code. Reasons include: Smaller Code Less Chance For Error Don't Repeat Yourself (DRY) As an example, the c# code I'm working on now involves reading key values to be used with the Stripe payment service. Here is the code I first wrote: [crayon-58af0b8f0fb1f063909865/] The first thing I do is to look for the pattern and try and pull out variables that I know are going to be helpful in refacotring.

Ometepe - San Juan - SUNDAY FUNDAY
... anywhere except the port which was far too far away to get too... After some negotiating we managed to get the cab driver to take us to the port in the morning to get money out and get the ferry then give him the money for the hostel to take back. Afew hours of busses, boats and cabs and we made it to San Juan into "casa de olas" with another 3 English boys who we were hanging with in Ometepe. A crew of now 5 English lads and myself ...
Isla de Ometepe, volcano island
... to wolf it down when we were late to check out of the hostel. We were informed we'd just missed a bus to get to Playa Santo Domingo, our next destination on Isla de Ometepe, so decided to get a taxi anyway. We ended up taking a tuk-tuk on an incredibly scenic journey across the island, and arrived at the next recommended hostel, Hospedaje Bueno Vista, located on the isthmus of the island. This was lush, we had a room with a view right next to the beach, with ...

So… Was it worth the trip? For us, we're not sure. For hiking the volcanoes, ignoring my bung leg, it is definitely not the time of year to visit. It's just too hot and dry. For a backpacker who wants to stay somewhere cheap and chill out somewhere for a week, it's perfect. The island definitely feels disconnected. For us, maybe because along the way on our travels we have spent weeks chilling out at almost perfect ...

There was nothing to it. The Super Chief was on time, as it almost always is, and the subject was as easy to spot as a kangaroo in a dinner jacket.
—Raymond Chandler
In Jonathan Lethem's Gun, With Occasional Music, Conrad Metcalf lives in a new age San Francisco where a kangaroo in a dinner jacket is as likely to show up as the Thought Police. For a private eye with an disinclination to back away from the tough questions, either one is an unwelcome visitor. But Metcalf also has to deal with a revolt among the babyheads, and there's a murder that persists in coming to Metcalf's attention despite his every attempt to avoid being involved.
…I was beginning to feel the proverbial breath on my neck, but I tried not to let it spook me into a wrong move. A tail is like a pimple. It comes to a head on its own time. You can rush it, but it usually makes a mess if you do.
This is a world where, if you don't toe the line, you run out of karma. Metcalf is a man whose business regularly takes him over that line. As we move deeper into the shadows of Metcalf's San Francisco, we realize that his karma will not last to the end of the book. What happens when his karma drops to zero? The answer is part of the mystery he's trying to solve.
"Let's go someplace," I said. "Your place."
"My place isn't good," she said. "Let's go to yours."
I looked at her funny. "Isn't Kornfield supposed to have someone watching it?"
"Yes," she said. "Me."
Lethem has caught the brutal, objective, descriptive style of Chandler perfectly, and written a good mystery with noir flavor and science fiction spice. It succeeds both as mystery and homage. I recommend it.

Rocco Garro.I keep hearing a new Republican is going to announce, someone who has been involved in local politics. Any idea who?

Rocco Garro.
Left the independence party and became a republican.
#62 Apr 3, 2013
Larry Tanoury Jr. For Utica Comptroller
#63 Apr 3, 2013
If it is stagnant and he does not want to take the site down he should at least remove the pages requesting contributions...
#64 Apr 3, 2013
No, somebody different.
#65 Apr 3, 2013
He is not leaving the political arena.
#66 Apr 3, 2013
Does tanoury have a job?
#67 Apr 3, 2013
Why would anyone in there right mind consider either of these 2 nitwits????? People always complain how things are so bad. There so bad because the voters keep voting for people that never change anything. Just vote for anyone that's never been in office and you'll see new ideas that don't have influence ,special interest or a vendetta. Is this really the best Utica has to offer the people? I think a professional with a masters degree in finance should be a requirement. The thought of these 2 makes me really want to throw up WTF
#68 Apr 3, 2013
This is Utica,if u want a pro with a masters degree that wants to run for city comptroller, put an ad in Craig's list. Good luck with that !
#69 Apr 3, 2013
Not many people want to get involved with Utica politics,we have to take what we get. To much corruption in Utica !
#70 Apr 3, 2013
Thats why the city needs to get rid of all the local politicians. They fight about everything bring a camera in to video everything just to get attention. The grandstanding is just disgusting. You people get what you vote for, voting for anyone other then the what you've got is an improvement.
#71 Apr 4, 2013
I am too, tired of their bickering amongst themselves. Why can't they act like adults. Seems they bicker about petty issues than take care of more important issues that Utica has to fix. Why can't they just grow up.
#72 Apr 5, 2013
Are they really running against each other ?
#73 Apr 5, 2013
People cannot stand Tanoury or Vescera.The public has them turned out.As far as Garro---lol------This has to be a joke.republicans are more astute than to put up as loser like Garro.
#74 Apr 5, 2013
Which one videotapes all the city hall meetings ?
#75 Apr 6, 2013
There is larger plan here and all of you will see. you have talked about larry tanoury for years and YES underestimated. This has been the plan for years, for him to sit under the radar and now it is time to strike and take the trophy. He will not be stopped or derailed. When you try and take me down it never works. Larry will take this seat hands down and put an end to everything we have ever known. This is the first step in reclaiming and vinidicating the things he has fought for since he moved back to utica. WATCH!
#76 Apr 7, 2013
I agree 100%
#77 Apr 7, 2013
wow Larry your really confident in yourself! IF you win and thats a far cry, what exactly will you put and end to? Your own BS? Will you finally stop using drugs and being a topix troll? Will you actually work? Are you insinuating you will be any different that the rest of the ass kissing two faced politicians in PUtica?
#78 Apr 7, 2013
It's funny that you keep responding as if you're talking to ME. I'm not running for ANY office. Is it that hard for you to figure out that it's the same person posting over and over and that they clearly don't have any inside info if they actually think I'm running for office? And your drugs comment is laughable. I've been called a lot of things, but being a druggie, alcoholic, criminal, corrupt, etc. are not any of them. You have a right to dislike me, although I suspect you don't even know me. But don't just throw out garbage that you have no clue what you're talking about. Especially when doing so anonymously. That's just kind of corny.
#79 Apr 7, 2013
this is not Larry,just another topic troll !
#80 Apr 8, 2013
Actually, "Wads", Larry has proven everything that people say about him to be 100% correct!!!
He was given a chance...he blew it...move on. He has no background to become comptroller or anything else above an entry level job in retail.

Tonight I went outside to smoke a cigarette.
I went outside and was surprised I was alone.
I sat with the picnic table setting in to break.
And as I smoked I saw another moment that I won't forget.
I slowly smoked my cigarette to wait for company.
I sat there and waited while I heard the passers drone
The words they uttered hit me with a quake
He repeated these words "it was my first time," but I know it wasn't that
He repeated himself "it was my first time, it was my first time."
With stability at first he would walk where it shone
While he felt alone, it must have been a mistake.
And that's a time that he did admit, it was it, whatever it was
A man on a longboard living in the shallow
He was oncoming with a man who went on his own
The other man was looking for place to stake
To sing to the energies he felt in this place
A story in the living that was only true
What it means if it means is a story of its own
The Almighty only knows what of this to make
Our imaginations blaze what we can't erase

JSONP is a simple way to overcome browser restrictions when sending JSON responses from different domains from the client.
But the practical implementation of the approach involves subtle differences that are often not explained clearly.
Here is a simple tutorial that shows JSON and JSONP side by side.
All the code is freely available at Github and a live version can be found at http://json-jsonp-tutorial.craic.com
JSON (Javascript Object Notation) is a convenient way to transport data between applications, especially when the destination is a Javascript application.
JQuery has functions that make Ajax/HTTPD calls from a script to a server very easy and $.getJSON() is a great shorthand function for fetching a server response in JSON.
But this simple approach fails if the page making the ajax call is in a different domain from the server. The Same Origin Policy prohibits these cross-domain calls in some browsers as a security measure.
At the time of writing, Google Chrome version 24 and Mozilla Firefox version 17 do not appear to apply this restriction but Internet Explorer version 9 does.
The security implications of allowing cross domain requests should be considered carefully in your application but if you do want to allow them then you need a way to overcome the browser restrictions.
JSONP (JSON with Padding) makes this possible in all browsers.
This page shows the two approaches with snippets of Server and Client code. Look at the source of this page to see the full JS code.
The code consists of a Server application, implemented here as a Ruby Sinatra application. You should be familiar with Ruby, Gems and basic Sinatra apps, if you want to run a live demo.
You can run it locally with the commands 'bundle install' and 'rackup -p 4567' and then going to 'http://localhost:4567' with your browser.
NOTE: To really demonstrate the cross domain operation you need to put the client and server code on TWO DIFFERENT machines. Run this page on your localhost and change the 'host' in the JS to point to 'http://json-jsonp-tutorial.craic.com'.
The examples make use of the JSON.stringify method from Douglas Crockford to 'pretty print' the returned JSON. You can find that HERE.
Here is a minimal example that uses JSON as the transport for the server response. The client makes an ajax request with the JQuery shorthand function $.getJSON. The server generates a hash, formats it as JSON and returns this to the client. The client formats this and puts it in a page element.
get '/json' do content_type :json content = { :response => 'Sent via JSON', :timestamp => Time.now, :random => rand(10000) } content.to_json end
var url = host_prefix + '/json'; $.getJSON(url, function(json){ $("#json-response").html(JSON.stringify(json, null, 2)); });
The only change on the Client side with JSONP is to add a callback parameter to the URL. The simplest way to do this is to add 'callback=?' in which case jQuery will generate a unique function name and pass that to the server (e.g. jQuery19009536794223822653_1359406689359).
On the Server you need to get the 'callback' parameter and, instead of returning the raw JSON, you wrap that string in a function
definition, like this "
You should also set the content type to 'application/javascript', although this doesn't appear to matter in my tests.
Back on the client side you treat the returned function just like the raw JSON object.
get '/jsonp' do callback = params['callback'] content_type :js content = { :response => 'Sent via JSONP', :timestamp => Time.now, :random => rand(10000) } "#{callback}(#{content.to_json})" end
var url = host_prefix + '/jsonp?callback=?';
$.getJSON(url, function(jsonp){
$("#jsonp-response").html(JSON.stringify(jsonp, null, 2));
