The place is yours.
Good morning all. I have been though many news sites. Not much information on Ukraine. Fox has discussed the Plane since 6:00 E.T.
Putin is laughing his tail off. Stating, I knew is was going to be easy, but, Not This Easy. HAR, HAR, HAR. sarm. The Har is my way of translating how a Russian man sounds when he is laughing.
I saw that you made it back into votingamerican leelee11.
Try not to be a stranger, he keeps the blogs active.
Many become dormant and people lose interest.
I figure if Obama's out playing golf I won't worry about Russia or the missing airplane.
Thank goodness his wife is stirring up the China 'hood. This is a good piece on her "kicking and screaming" comments. I too want to know where EXACTLY was she going when that happened ? LOL.
Thanks for the link. Yes the Kicking and Screaming words were not appropriate.
Those words are in their same vocabulary book with Folks.
I'll take care of it.
How ironic that she of all people is lecturing the Chinese on education. What an inarticulate, incomprehensible speech that was. If she is the end product of supposedly the finest schools in America, it shows how fallen the mighty have become.
So her parents never went to college. My parents never went to college, and billions of people on this planet have or had parents who never went to college. The poor, deprived creature! And always perpetuating that lie about growing up in a little apartment above a grocery store in the South Side of Chicago. She grew up in a nice solid brick Chicago brick bungalow with two middle class earners for parents.
Take out one of those "bricks" for me, please.
Which one ? :)
Take your pick.
"At this point,…what difference does it make ?" ;)
LOL. Just another brick in the wall.
If there was ever a poster child for the line, "We don't need no education," it'd be Mooch.
You started!
Julie, I believe her parents rented a converted one bedroom 'apt' upstairs in her Auntie's house. I have read that she and her brother slept in the converted living room/dining room area, as she and Barack did for several years after they were first married. Her mother never worked but I imagine her father made a decent living working for the Daley machine.
In any case, she is an embarrassment and a laughingstock. Lecturing Chnese University students on 'fear' ..'fear of traveling to a new country, fear of new languages'…puleeze! Asians are dominating the campuses here in Kalifornia! They are the best and brightest, academically speaking.
Their parents are buying up property in the US as though there was a fire sale.
Fear? Hardly. More like determination to dominate the US in all manner of speaking.
Thanks to her husband, we are now hostages to China.
As far as 'dragging her kicking and screaming'? You betcha. She hates living in the WH where she is surrounded by the portraits of 43 'white' presidents and first ladies.
WOW,…You nailed it on that last paragraph.
I heard the state-run media censored her ridiculous comments on education. Chinese students who are not citizens are recruited to come to big schools here… In the ivies, the top students rosters are heavily Asian. Maybe she should have said–build up your own collitches so our kids can get a place in ours.
Slowly but surely the news will trickle out.
Eliminating the press from the trip only serves to increase the interest in the trip and the activities.
Thank goodness we have the stubborn ferrets out there that never give up.
I thought her mother was a secretary, but maybe that was after her husband died. And I have seen photos of a Chicago brick bungalow, the kind the older mayor Daley lived in in Bridgeport, which are supposed to be of the Robinson home. Who to believe?
Julie, you are right about the brick bungalow house in all of the photos. Except it is owned by a Robinson Auntie who converted the upstairs into a one bed. flat/apt. for the Robinson family. They paid rent to the Auntie.
Maybe Oprah can introduce her to her good friend Tina Turner, now a resident of Switzerland I think, but perhaps some other country. Then she can relocate and the Europeans can have her. Sorry Swedish Lady and others, no offense, but Euro Trash might be on her horizon.
At least he is consistent Denise.
Remember,…he disappeared the night of the Benghazi attack.
Isn't there a tv program called "Missing"? Obama should have the starring role….
Maybe they should raise one of those black MIA flags over the WH.
I found an update on Ukraine this morning on Reuters.
Nato Military Commander warns Sunday, of Russian threat to Separatist Moldava region.
I pulled up the map to refresh myself where Moldova was.
It is in between Ukraine and Romania.
Russia has a large force on the Ukraine Border, and worried Russia poses a threat.
Lee, The link I posted yesterday from Walter Mead might help.
Thanks Gracepmc. I usually write down a new news site.
If the Thread is no longer up, or if I can't place it, please note it again when time alllows. Tks.
Lee — Here is the direct link to the article.
Mead is good historian– honest. Facts, theory, opinion. No snark. I don't always agree with him, but like to consult.
I can't speak for all the writers at The American Interest but when I was there I saw some interesting titles I thought I would check out later. You might find some of them interesting as well. Check it out.
Thanks Gracepmc, will pull it up…
As I dozed off last night there was a program on the Military Channel (or whatever it is called now) about the Nazi expansion prior to WW2. I wonder if any historians have made an analysis of recent Russian actions to the German ones of the 1030s.
OOPS 1930s
My grandfather served in WWII. He read books all the time.
He always asked all of his grandchildren what are you reading?
He would urge us all to read…..
As a child I did not think serving in WWII, had much to do with his thoughts on reading. As I grew up, I did put 2 and 2 together.
Other people threw the years always said History repeats itself.
I have heard suggestions that we should start processing Oil, to help. Of course I have not heard O's thoughts on that, far or against.
O studied history in college. I don't know what books he was reading in history. I don't know how well he did in that class, maybe he was the one sleeping in the back of the class.
Or he didn't even show up.
His Elective class may have been: GOLF!
I listened to that show yesterday. It was scary at how so much of what Hitler did mirror what's happening in America today.
Yeah University of Dayton for beating Syracuse. I have a cousin who went to Dayton and he's on cloud nine over the victory, other than the fact that he didn't prepare a bracket to enter Buffett's billion dollar prize.
Dayton appears to be the real deal so far.
They took out Ohio State,…but that ain't saying much.
Moving along in history the battle for Western Europe might come down to the Islamist Muzzies and the "Eastern Bloc" backed by Russian and China in a sporadic union.
If we keep going the way we are, the US will not be a factor.
Read the Revelation of John the Divine.
Grace, the timetable was never defined as to the end of the world.
The circumstances leading up to it however have.
Russia and China could be major players in the end times.
The US may not be involved, or we may not even exist anymore.
Fear not,….the Lord is in charge.
Thanks. I agree it is in the Lord's hands.
That said, as a historian and at the moment, a breathing human being and American, I consider these things. No one is perfect, but this Administration has chosen a path of benign neglect to our security and place in the real world in service of an ideology that has yet to be successful or good and might indeed be damaging in the long run.
However, you and I believe, it is already written. And I fear not. But I am sad to see the discard and destruction.
We cannot change the future, however, it is fascinating to observe it unfold.
HA! More true than you know for me. I am doing a study that requires I go back to ancient history, on to the Byzantine and Persian Empires and then the rise and spread of Islam with the Steppe Peoples, to the Ottoman Empire and then the coming of the West — 19/20th century.into the Ottoman — to arrive at History of the Middle East. Lots of looking back at the unfolding!
Maybe I'll stumble
Maybe I'll stumble upon a Barack or two. :)
It certainly appears that way, Grace, re the US being a factor anymore. But we may come back even though it may take longer than we wish.
Perhaps. Tough to do when you have lost moral authority and trashed your values.
Commie thugs coming to a non-union business near you.
Quick! Call 'la migra'! Oh wait…it's illegal to enforce our immigration laws now.
And, you're racist if you even want to enforce those laws.
Great link Mandy.
This is to be expected as the Obama regime fails to provide the economy that he so vociferously promoted.
So now they are resorting to the union thugs, and onerous regulatory edicts.
No surprise, it is the Chicago way.
Play or pay.
I hope that the idiots that voted for this monster begin to feel the consequences soon.
The middle class and lower-middle class will get Medicaide or subsidies for their health insurance. The wealthy will not even notice.
Where the hell is "The Law"?
Obama departs for the Netherlands tonight.
"Meets" with the Pope on Thursday. (It's called an 'audience' – what dopes!)
Very detailed summary of BHO's trip on The Obama Diary, but no mention of the MOOCH accompanying him to the Vatican (as previously scheduled).
Another horrible breach of protocol? What is wrong with this woman!
What was so important about the blow-out trip to China that she couldn't forego it for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the entire family to have an audience with the new Pope?
She is defiant! What hidden message is she sending?
***If by chance the Mooch decides to fly her entourage from China to Rome on the taxpayers dime, there will be rioting in the streets.
BTW, there are tons of photos of the two generations of Obamas (minus Granny) scaling the Great Wall of China.
"Now he [Obama] wants to restrict the exercise of the freedom of religion to freedom of worship; that is, he holds that one is free to act according to his conscience within the confines of his place of worship but that, once the person leaves the place of worship, the government can constrain him to act against his rightly-formed conscience, even in the most serious of moral questions," said Cardinal Burke.
He continued, "Such policies would have been unimaginable in the United States even 40 years ago. It is true that many faithful Catholics, with strong and clear leadership from their Bishops and priests, are reacting against the ever-growing religious persecution in the U.S."
ThanKs, FCMABBHO!
he Islamic militants have also made themselves the law in the city and aim to show they are acting to prevent crime. On Thursday, militants cut off the right hand of a man accused of robbing a mobile phone shop and paraded him through Fallujah in the back of a pickup truck, forcing him to raise his stump to show people, according to witnesses in the city.
Hello everyone. I'm pretty much the new guy here and I don't post very often, but I'd like to take the opportunity of today's open thread to say thanks for everyone's thoughts on the domestic and international situations. The links provided save me time separating the " rice from the chaff " on news events that my local MSM barely covers.
WHD is my five read of the day, so thank you Mr.Koffler for providing it and all of you who post.
That's first read of the day.
Feel free to visit anytime CiscoKid.
This gang will keep you up to date.
I love these folks, one of the best sites on the web, and some of the most intelligent informed individuals that you will ever meet.
Glad to be aboard, thanks for the welcome AFVet.
Walk right in!
That's a trip down memory lane I didn't mind taking. Thanks.
You're welcome!
Great Wall gift shop merchants ordered to hide Obama-Mao T-shirts before the Mooch arrives. The shirts picture Obama wearing a Mao hat. Several reporters investigated 'rumors' of the t-shirts and found one merchant willing to sell one for $60 until she was told (in Chinese) to put it away. One reporter took a photo of the shirt.
Michelle is going to rue the day she took this trip – the jig is up.
I've read that Mr&MrsChina are in Europe(?) now, leaving MrsO to her own devices. !!
As for FirstGranny, she's probably pouting in her room after the "barking orders" thing.
ot: it's hard to understand how this heavily secured, tightly guarded vacation? could be considered either fun or educational. What was MO thinking here, was this just somewhere to go or what. And, what was the deciding factor to ban the US press from the plane?
It's not like they can't fly there on their own, or use Chinese press releases, for all they're worth, to put together something.
This whole China visit is weird.
Yep. The Chinese PM and First Lady are traveling to Europe and the Hague just as the Mooch's husband is doing…for the nuclear non-proliferation summit, or whatever.
The three generations of Obama ladies now have free rein in China. Something is rotten in Denmark.
…that should be Chinese ' President'. not PM
The jig is up.
To quote Sarah,…you betcha !
I'm loving Sarah and MItt were right. AND, R.I.P Geraldine Ferraro was too, when she got thrown off Hillary's 2008 team for RAAACISSSM, saying…paraphrased…Obama wouldn't even be in contention if he were white.
^^^moderation^^^ ?
What's the bail? I'll take up a collection to get you out.
Yeah, what he/she/it says. I'm in.
But the girls will have so much to add for Show and Tell. Sidwell Friends has a China Fieldwork Semester Blog.
Malia says: Mom, I have homework for the school blog. Can we fly to China?
Michelle: Sure dear, I just click my heels and away we go. Doesn't cost us a dime.Sasha, aren't you doing a project about Barbados that's due next week?
You nailed it, 65……
I tried to find out the cost of that project (guessing, not cheap) so MO dragged the girls over to China at "our" expense?
Almost every photo I've seen of this "soft diplomacy" trip has the girls scowling. Not happy, they are ? /snork
She could also be planning to send Malia to the PRC on a student exchange program for the summer or for a semester. Could be they're checking out the facilities on our dime.
I doubt Malia would be any more morose in China than she is in D.C. Who knows, maybe she might enjoy more freedom in Red China.
LOL, bet that was scrubbed from the "liberal" media in the U.S. but I've seen that item on the Daily Mail and our other favorite overseas news sites.
Wow! We must really be in trouble. Obama is going to Saudi Arabia.
Of course this will be after he "meets" with Pope Francis. And in general is feted through Europe by Monarchs.
Thanks for the link Girly 1.
Saudi Arabia! Boy do I feel better now! sarc
Disappointed with Obama and the West because of Syria and Iran, the Saudis have been looking at Russia as you might well know. And they have not, unlike Obama, been so unkind to Israel. So I will be interested to see how this goes over.
Foreign Ministry employee's declared a general strike on Sunday following two weeks of renewed sanctions. The strike is expected to close down the country's foreign missions and totally paralyze the Israeli diplomatic system.
For the first time in history of the State of Israel, 103 Israeli missions abroad will be completly closed for an indefinite period of time, as will the Foreign Ministry's headquaters in Jerusalem.

An article on Drudge states what Romney said this morning on Meet The Press.
O is naive when it comes to Russia. Along with some other interesting comments.
Same article than states Sen. Dick Durban who just came back from Ukraine states that it is Romney who is naive.
Durbin has a lot of nerve calling anyone naive Lee.
A couple of weeks ago Durbin and Luis Gutteriez in an interview on local tv stated and both agreed that giving amnesty and eventually citizenship to the current batch of illegals in the US, and I quote, " would jump start the economy ".
Whose naive now ? Or just plain dumb.
I love the political ad right under your picture, Keith! It is none other
than the senator of Massachusetts. Sarc. She drives me nuts.
She is so impossible that I forgot her name.
Of all the nerve: MOOch, bossing around the Chinese, this from "the most transparent administration in history"
this is from The Telegraph:
"Freedom of information, expression and belief should be considered "universal rights", Michelle Obama, the US first lady, told students in China on Saturday.
Speaking at Peking University on the second full day of a weeklong, bridge-building family tour of the country, Mrs Obama said: "It is so important for information and ideas to flow freely over the internet and through the media."
"When it comes to expressing yourself freely, and worshipping as you choose, and having open access to information – we believe those are universal rights that are the birthright of every person on this planet," Mrs Obama told an audience of around 200 students."
This administration can't wait to close down journalists, Internet sites critical of them, or even QUESTIONING them! One of my favorite sites critical of the administration was just knocked off Facebook by administrators. This administration sics the IRS on political entities questioning them. And here's MOOch, piously telling the Chinese how to be free…
I tell you, everytime this administration preaches something like this, guard your privates, and count the silver: they've stolen something again.
What site was cut off?
MOTUS blog
Great blog to catch up with photos of MsMO.
…and some of the best commenters/informants in the kingdom, including DeniseVB herself.
MOTUS and WHD are our only way to get news these days.
I'm surprised that it took them this long.
Perhaps a harbinger of what is to come.
I don't do FB but I really like that blog online. What was the reason? Correction, what was the excuse given?
Facebook masquerades as a social media site but in reality they're a direct arm of the Obama propaganda machine. I've shared political posts that vanished in the dead of night. I've had friends that remained civil in their criticism of Obama but they were banished to the woodshed and couldn't post for 10 days or whatever. Facebook punishes you if you disagree, if you don't drink the kool-aid. Just like Obama does.
You can't convince me that Zuckerberg and Eric Schmidt and perhaps others from Google do not cooperate in an unhealthy way with Obama and his ilk.
So true!
…and while I'm at it: be aware of every single time anyone from this administration speaks of "universal" rights. This is a deliberate very strongly focused stab at replacing the Constitution of the United States and the Bill of Rights, with a flabby UN bill of rights-or-things-that-won't-offend-anyone.
The right of US citizens to free speech is embedded, declared in the Constitution and the concomitant Bill of Rights. The o administration would dearly love to replace both of them with some crisco UN quicksand.
These children of darkness never sleep.
Yes, freedom of this and that speechifying embarrasses me when our own country has Obama poking our freedoms. I hope China, and I know Russia are smarter than the Obamas.
OT: so far OT that this has nothing to do with the WhiteHouse, the Obamas or anything important
This old writer, who learned how to type on a cast-iron Remington way back in the dark ages, has successfully navigated the Barnes&Nobel website to purchase some new reading material!
An e-mail from the company announces that my shipment is "on it's way".
For you young'uns, old dodgers like me are self taught on all these digital dodads. My first computer was a Tandy 2000 with a DOS processer that used 5in floppys that had to be fiddled with before they would accept info data.
Some of us have been around since the days of the operator-made calls on party lines. We told "Daisy" who we wanted to talk to, and she placed the call, then everyone who was bored or just nosey would listen in to the conversation.
I love every innovation, every advance in society's progress and can't wait to see what's coming next.
Just some good news I wanted to share with friends. I hope you don't mind. Thanks.
I appreciate your comments. I can't remember an operator answering, but their were still towns I believe that still did it when I was a child. At leat they did on Andy Griffith. Smile.
The gadgets are none stop. I still looking forward to getting one of those robot vacuum cleaners.
I am waiting for the gadget to be placed on my phone that shows me that I am being listened to, traced, etc…
Better yet the gadget that lets me listen to their phone calls.
Seems American to me: They do work for us.
When you get the robot vacuum cleaner, be sure to order the cat who rides on top.
srdem65, I thought I was the only oldtimer here.
I have the same problem ordering online, it's a labyrinth of users names, passwords, shopping carts and/or baskets.
Somehow I manage. My blast from the past, my M.D. has him office in his home AND made a house call when I had a allergic reaction to penicillin. Stay safe and take care.
I have been around for awhile also, well before the expected crash of of the internet and all computer systems at 0001/2000.
Stand in front of a computer and load 19 floppy disks to change the date to a four digit number as opposed to a two digit number.
And the 18th floppy failed to load.
OK,….got to start over now,….ARGH !!!!!
That was a NOVELL OS, on an IBM platform.
I hated it.
Well,…the world did not end on the morning after the turn of the century after all.
All of the hype was for not.
Do you know who invented the mouse ?
Do you know who was the first to provide a GUI, (graphical user interface) ?
BTW, windows still is a DOS based OS.
Thank heaven for the Computer for Dummies books You are a computer guru, AFVet !
OK girly1, but you did not answer the questions.
Who invented the mouse ?
Who was the first to introduce the GUI ?
The answer to the above questions is not who you would think.
I am not a computer guru, although I have years of experience dealing with the bastards.
AFV, I don't know the mouse inventor's name but didn't he die last year or so? I vaguely recall having a conservation about it with our computer geek son.
AZ Granny,…..it was Xerox Corporation.
They invented an optical mouse device, and a GUI that Bill Gates observed and then created the windows OS.
I don't know what your are using to access the internet, but if it is a windows system, click 'run' off the start menu and then type command and watch what happens.
You will see the DOS based software that launches windows.
Good for you, srdem! To coin a phrase, 'we've come a long way, Baby'! How did we all survive without cell phones and computers?
I don't tweet or text, but I do love online shopping. What a luxury!
Barnes and Noble and Borders closed down all their brick and mortar stores in my neighborhood. That's when I started ordering online. I love cooking and collecting out of print or hard to find cookbooks. Some of the ethnic ingredients/spices are impossible to find at the local super market, but everything is available on the web. It's miraculous!
Wait til Christmas rolls around at the end of the year, srdem. You will love online shopping, lol.
BTW srdem, I learned to type on a keyboard that had no display, it was a teletype terminal connected to a secure military network.
To this day, I still use the keyboard to visualize the entries, only looking at the display for editing purposes.
My first "adult" job was a key punch operator.
I have no cell phone–I hardly go anywhere. I pay extra (vintage) for a chunky desk phone with a receiver I can put between ear and shoulder for interviewing. I hate headphones. I don't FB, Insta, Tweet or any of that. And I don't feel like I am missing anything. I do have seven blogs, two daily. I despise Google, which keeps all my ad money. I am still Windows XP and scolded for it. I joined AOL when it originated and am still on it. We also had a computer back when IBM had two–red and blue. We had red. So I am a happy little dinosaur–can wait until I get home to be bothered with calls, and I just go along. Yet, one of my blogs is on industrial design and creativity–so I know about it, I don't want it, though. http://thwim.blogspot.com.
Oh Star……..
I have no cell phone, drive a 21 year old truck, do not FB, and use XP as my OS.
The land line is my connection to the world.
We are a lot alike, and that scares the hell out of me.
I am OK with it…maybe there is hope for us.
Funny story–I was on a three way (a telephone call, clean it up) with two young sounding lads about my TV service and said I had no cell. Silence. "What do you do if you go out?" I come home and see if anyone called, I said. They both burst out laughing.
When the EMP hits us,….we'll be fine.
I agree–and all the fat people will have to take care of the thin people in the epidemic. No fair! As for three ways–those days are gone. Still, landlines rule–you can get old and find your phone.
Good Lord,…I'm glad you clarified the three way.
this has nothing to do with the WhiteHouse, the Obamas or anything important
Au contraire (nod to Lurch the Francophile — although I read somewhere the French went conservative this vote) — Anyhoo, au contraire, you, me, we, the people, the country — we are important and time to look back and forward and all of our life experiences, hopes, dreams and sorrow are important.
This WH of grifters and incompetents , this poseur President, this bundle of bureaucrat bumblers and bullies — they are not important. They are transients.
And I remember floppys and Tandy and a whole bunch of other things that unfortunately, I can no longer, properly name because I cannot remember some of them at this precise moment in time. :) But I do know it is corps and not corpse, and that we have 50 not 57 states and that the constitution is not 400 years old, but God willing it will survive to that.
Your head is fully secured in a good place.
All of the other is just BS.
Interesting article on the Obama's spending. They estimate costs for their trip to Africa last summer at $60 – $100 millions. They spent $2 million on rental cars and paid for 4000 "room nights" for only one night at one hotel. I'm wondering how much this China trip will cost and how much BO's trip this week will cost as he flies to the Netherlands, Belgium, Italy, The Vatican and Saudi Arabia.
When you add up all the trips (20 Nations in 2009), it must be in the tens of Billions so far.
Obama uses AF1 on an almost daily basis to escape working. It's criminal, imo.
With the MOOCH, we have no clue as to where she goes every day. Her schedule is off limits to inquiring minds.
Great find !
Needs to go viral.
Not so much interesting as depressing. One of these days, we'll have the final costs of the "Eight-year traveling dog and pony show" not counting the cost of lousy domestic and foreign policy. No one will be surprised to find out that it tops the GDP of 100 countries.
That's true Sadie, but we need to continue to beat the drum.
I put the link over on another site that is re-blogged on almost a daily basis.
Obama is relentless in cramming his policies down our throats.
We need to be relentless in exposing the nefarious abomination that has been foisted upon our Nation.
I agree, we do need to be relentless. The Obama's have traveled extensively and the costs are staggering. Shofar used to post monthly and yearly travel expense estimates and reported costs over $73 million just for AF1 in 2012. That figure didn't include support aircraft, security, meals, lodging, etc. Then there was the report that it cost taxpayers over $1.4 billion to keep the Obama family in 2012, while it cost the Brits nearly half that to support the Royal family.
All the news agency have all kinds of boards, Maps, Graphs, etc. try to figure out where the plane went.
I think they should use all those graphs, maps, boards, to spell out over and over where they all go on vacation.
With the amount of money listed on all as well.
Youre not going to believe this but I have wasted all day searching for some articles about this. I wish I knew of this site earlier, it was a good read and really helped me out. Have a good one

Monday on Fox News Channel's "Fox & Friends," Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway responded to remarks a night earlier at the Golden Globes from Hollywood actress Meryl Streep aimed at President-elect Donald Trump.
Conway said such commentary by Streep, who has a visible platform, could incite "people's worst instincts."
"We have to now form a government and I'm concerned that somebody with a platform like Meryl Streep is also I think inciting people's worst instincts when she will get up there and say, 'I didn't like it, but let's try to support him and see if we can find some common ground with him,' which he has actually done from moment one. The moment he won, he said I'm going to be the president for all the people."

Quite simply, my life revolves around animals! I have shared my life with dogs, cats, horses, goats, and cows. As an artist, painting pets was a natural calling for me. A commissioned, hand painted portrait of your pet will be a lasting memory as well as a cherished memorial to those you once loved and have passed over the rainbow bridge. My goal is to capture the spirit and personality of your pet. A hand painted watercolor portrait is the perfect, thoughtful gift for someone who has it all.
Thanks for perusing!

After she opened it she set the painting against the couch and gazed at it. The cat, who was Shadow's best buddy walked up, meowed and then laid down in front of the painting staring. After a few more meows, the cat walked up to the painting and looked behind it and then again in front, while continuing to meow. If I had not seen this with my own eyes, I never would have believed it! We call it our Christmas miracle. My sister says she will find the cat occasionally staring at the painting on the wall." :: Nancy in California

The first puck of the 2017 NHL hockey season drops on Wednesday, October 4th. With October quickly approaching, I thought it was a good time to put together a guide on how to watch NHL games online for those currently or looking to drop their cable or satellite TV package.
How To Watch NHL Without Cable
With any sport, there is an array of licensing deals between team owners and television networks that can frustrate those just trying to watch their favorite NHL team online. However, the amount teams that stream NHL games over an online service has greatly increased over the past few years.
While U.S. based teams on a Fox or NBC regional sports network are fairly easy to watch online, teams on other networks may be hard to find online. Whether you live in the market of your favorite team can also complicate your viewing experience.Today I'll break all that down and provide a way to stream every NHL game online without cable regardless of where you live.
Watch NHL Online with a Streaming Service
Several NHL teams are available through live streaming services. You can watch these games live as if you had a cable TV subscription. These teams air on NBC and Fox regional sports networks. The most affordable way to watch these teams is with a subscription to Sling TV Blue which is free for 7-days. The teams on Sling TV are as follows:
- Anaheim Ducks – Fox Sports West
- Arizona Coyotes – Fox Sports Arizona
- Carolina Hurricanes – Fox Sports Carolinas
- Chicago Blackhawks – Comcast SportsNet Chicago
- Columbus Blue Jackets – Fox Sports Ohio
- Dallas Stars – Fox Sports Southwest
- Detroit Red Wings – Fox Sports Detroit
- Florida Panthers – Fox Sports Florida
- Los Angeles Kings – Fox Sports West
- Minnesota Wild – Fox Sports North
- Nashville Predators – Fox Sports Tennessee
- San Jose Sharks – Comcast SportsNet California
- St Louis Blues – Fox Sports Midwest
- Tampa Bay Lightning – Fox Sports Sun
- Washington Capitals – Comcast SportsNet Mid-Atlantic
Sling TV Blue only costs $25 per month and provides a ton of networks you are used to seeing on cable TV. It also included NBC SportsNet which will air 2 games nationally every week. You can even pick up the NHL network for an additional $5 a month by adding their Sports add-on package. For more information on those channels, check out my review of Sling TV.
MSG Network and NESN on FuboTV
Now, the next best solution for watching NHL online is FuboTV. They offer the following for $34.99 per month:
- All the teams and networks listed above on Sling TV
- Philidelphia Flyers – Comcast Sports Net Philidelphia
- New York Rangers – MSG Network
- New York Islanders – MSG Network
- New Jersey Devils – MSG Network
- Buffalo Sabres – MSG Network
- Boston Bruins – NESN Network
While Sling TV and FuboTV are the most affordable way to watch NHL games without cable there are other live streaming services like Hulu TV, DirecTV Now, and PlayStation VUE that also carry some of these regional sports networks for Hockey fans.
However, what about those teams that aren't on a streaming service or you aren't in your market?
NHL.TV Online Streaming (Formerly GameCenter Live)
Formerly known as "GameCenter Live," NHL.TV makes every NHL regular season game available live online. You can stream live NHL games to Roku, Apple TV, Chromecast, PlayStation, and Xbox.
NHL.TV provides the following features:
- DVR controls home and away broadcasts
- Home and Away Broadcasts
- Multi-game view where you can watch 4 games at once
- Five alternate camera angles
Unfortunately, like most sports, if a game is airing in your local market or it's nationally televised then it is subject to blackout. Use this tool to see what team is blacked out in your area.
While NHL.TV is a great solution for watching out of market games, what about in market teams that aren't streamed though Sling TV or other services? We can still use NHL.TV. We just need a way around the blackout.
Getting Around the Blackout
Services like NHL.TV blackout streaming based on the location of where you are streaming. Therefore, all you need to do is make it look like you are streaming from another location to use get around the blackout.
To do this we can use a SmartDNS to route your traffic through another country and to make it look like you are watching from that country. One of the easiest ways to do this is to use a service called Overplay SmartDNS. Be warned that this may violate the terms of service with NHL.TV.
- Sign up for Overplay SmartDNS
- Follow the instructions here to setup your device
- While logged into Overplays website click " My Account" then click "SMARTDNS"
- Here you can configure your SmartDNS settings for the services you want to use, including NHL.TV (It still may be called "NHL Gamecenter".) Simply set the country to "Mexico."
- Now that it looks like you are in Mexico. Go to NHL.TV and start your free trial. You should now have access to the "International" version of NHL.TV. Create an account (you need a new account, don't use a U.S. NHL.TV Account)
- You will be asked for a payment method. Using a U.S. based credit card shouldn't matter.
- You are billed for the entire season when the 1-week free trial ends. However, if you cancel before the trial ends you will not be billed. It's easy to cancel from your account settings.
This method should provide access to every single team no matter where you live.

text: Every schoolchild knows that the "small step for man" and the "giant leap for mankind" are words uttered by Neil Armstrong during the 1969 Apollo 11 Moon landing. But now the famously reclusive astronaut has made a rare foray into the public arena to give an answer to a puzzling question: having gone all that way at such vast expense, why were the steps and leaps so few? The subject arose when science blogger Robert Krulwich mused on his National Public Radio page about why Armstrong and crewmate Buzz Aldrin had covered an area barely larger than a football pitch.

1) The benefits of genetically engineered foods:
-more nutritious food.
-tastier food.
-disease and drought resistant plants that require fewer enviromental resources.
-decreased use of pesticides.
-increased supply of food with reduced cost and longer shelf life.
-faster growing plants and animals.
-food with more desirable traits.
-medicinal foods that could be used as vaccines or other medications.
2) The risks of genetically engineered foods:
-modified plants or animals may have genetic changes that are unexpected and harmful.
-modified organisms may interbreed with natural organisms and out-compete them, leading to extinction of the original organism or to other unpredictable environmental effects.
-plants may be less resistant to some pests and more susceptible to others.
3)There are always going to be risks with anything and I think the benefits do outweigh the risks becasue we could have more food for less which could go to people who do not have a lot of money and need the food to survive. Also food could grow faster to meet the demand for food.

Computer suddenly claims my Windows is invalid
Hi, I bought my PC back in 2012 from Cyberpower Systems.
Since then I have steadily upgraded it, I changed the GPU, the RAM, motherboard broke and was replaced and also a new CPU fitted.
Recently I have bought a new SSD, a Crucial M500 240Gb SSD and installed windows onto it, reformatted my older Seagate HHD and set everything up. Activated Windows and everything is fine.... until today I get an error pop up in my face saying my Windows is not valid..... I should think it bloody well is, having had it for two years this better not be some money grabbing scheme trying to force me into buying a new copy of Windows.
From what I have read, if I click the validate button and download the tool I risk having significant functionality removed and/or extremely inconvenient messages nagging me, simply because Microsoft have ballsed up an update or something.

I am currently using my mobile phone, a HTC One X Plus as a network adapter using USB Tethering and network pass-through to connect to my Landlord's Wi-Fi until Virgin install their modem on Friday, so I'm hoping that shouldn't be blocking any updates that would otherwise resolve this.
Can anyone offer a way to fix this?
Thank you

There are no problems showing in your report - you appear to be properly activated and validated.
What happens if you attempt validation on this page? www.microsoft.com/genuine/validate using Internet Explorer ?
|My System Specs
|01 May 2014
That page is what the pop up leads me too, but I have been unwilling to go through with it after reading up on line how it can quite often given incorrect answers and thus causing me grief. If I wasn't being prompted by a window saying my Windows is not valid I would be more than happy to go through with that process.
I am hoping that the reason this has occurred is due to certain Windows security updates failing to download/install and might be caused due to my connection being via Network Pass-through using an Android device. This issue being caused by failed updates or without updates to Windows was also mentioned online.
|My System Specs
|01 May 2014
According to your report, you shouldn't be seeing any notifications - did you run it while you could see such a notification?
It's possible that this is due to some strange networking phenomena - but I'd need to know more about the sequence involved.
Your system validated successfully on 30th April.
Please - using Internet Explorer only! - go to the www.microsoft.com/genuine/validate page and describe exactly what happens.
If you end up with anything except an offer of IE11 and MSE, please go to the following page, and let us know what the results of the tests it conducts are...
that should give us some data to work with.
If you are seeing non-genuine messages, but the tend to come and go of their own accord, this is probably due to a race condition - such conditions are usually caused either by over-active AV, or by malware.
Please download and install Malwarebytes Anti-malware (free version) from http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free/ - UNtick 'Enable free trial of MBAM PRO' at the end of the installation - and update it, then run a full scan in your main account, and Quick scans in any other user accounts.

This system is twice as safe to pilot and twice the fun...
BREA, Calif. (PRWEB) November 20, 2015
Flying the DJI Phantom 3 Professional safer and better connected has never been easier than with Drone World's top selling Executive Kit bundle with Range Extender Antenna Upgrade & optional FPV Goggles, and now the industry leading drone retailer is making their Phantom 3 Long Range Extender Antenna Upgrade available to all Phantom pilots along with FPV goggles and previously unreleased accessories just in time for the holiday season.
Previously only available in Drone World's Industry 1st Long Range Phantom 3 Executive Kits, the Drone World Range Extender Antenna upgrade was developed to provide pilots with greater connection and safety when flying their Phantom 3 in all areas. Due to an overwhelming demand for the range extender technology, Drone World has now released the extended range antenna on http://www.drone-world.com allowing Phantom 3 owners the chance to have their remote controller expertly upgraded by the Drone World techs.
"We are very excited with results from our aerospace engineers' custom-built antenna and custom programming," said Drone World Owner and President Stephen McKenna. "They significantly improved upon the factory DJI system and not only improved the P3's range but also significantly decreased the number of 'low signal' warnings. This system is twice as safe to pilot and twice the fun to fly because the video latency have been removed."
In addition to the groundbreaking technology and engineering now available individually in the extended range antenna upgrade, additional accessories released at Drone-World.com include the industry's best FPV goggles by FatShark, the THOR™ Supercharger charging station, commercial-grade sunshade hoods and more for Phantom 3 and Inspire 1 owners. Known for their clarity and cockpit-like view, FatShark's first-person view goggles have consistently been regarded as the best in drone FPV. Carrying the newly released FatShark DominatorV3 HD, Drone World is offering the goggles alone or as a part of Phantom 3 FPV kits with expertly installed HDMI modules and range extender antenna installation. For pilots looking to stay in the air longer by charging Phantom 3 smart batteries quickly and safely, the Drone World industry 1st THOR™ Supercharger charging system charges 3 batteries and a remote controller simultaneously 4x faster and safer than any charging hub available. While DW's new line of sunshades utilizes high-quality hood construction to reduce glare on Android and Apple iPhones and tablets during flight similar to professional outdoors camera operators and photographers.
All of Drone World's line of exclusive Phantom 3 accessories including the Range Extender Antenna, Phantom 3 FPV kits, THOR™ Supercharger and more are available now at http://www.drone-world.com/dji-phantom-3-accessories with exclusive Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals to come next week.

About VoIP
VoIP is an acronym for "Voice Over Internet Protocol", a technology for communicating using "internet protocol" instead of traditional analog systems. VoIP converts analog signals into digital signals that can be sent over the Internet.
- VoIP can be cheaper to use than standard phone services, or even free! This results in an obvious cost-savings for long-distance calls especially.
- VoIP services can be taken with you as long as you have an internet connection, which is a great benefit for travelers.
- VoIP is robust with features including selective call forwarding, find me/follow me call routing, call screening, voicemail to email transcription, and more.

After several days of snow and ice, the rivalry between Leesville Road and Broughton was enough to heat up the Triangle. The Cap-8 Conference foes returned to the hardwood Tuesday night, splitting the varsity contests.
The Pride girls' basketball team and the Capitals boys continued to rise in the league standings with impressive wins.
Broughton moves up in Cap-8
The Broughton boys' basketball team came into Tuesday night's contest with a chance to close the gap with league-leading Millbrook.
Mission accomplished.
The Capitals defeated rival Leesville, 71-66, improving to 6-2 in the league, one game behind the leading Wildcats.
Not thinking of its game against Millbrook on Friday, Broughton focused on taking care of the Pride. The Capitals were able to do so behind a strong performance from sophomore forward Jeremy Robinson.
He fueled Broughton in the first half, scoring 15 points before intermission. Robinson got help from Aaron Gottfried, who scored nine in the opening half, all on 3-pointers.
The Capitals went 19-of-20 from the free throw line.
"We shot some pressure ones," Broughton coach Jeff Ferrell said.
Coming into the game, the pressure was on both teams who had split their previous two meetings. With this recent win, the Capitals have a 2-1 season series lead over Leesville. They also clutched a firm grip on second place with a big matchup looming on Friday at Holliday Gym. When the final horn sounded, Ferrell and his group could finally shift focus to the Wildcats.
"We can now," Ferrell joked when asked about looking ahead to Millbrook. "We just talked about that. We have to have two good days of practice to compete with them. They (Millbrook) are playing well right now, so we will have our hands full."
Leesville had its hands full with the balanced attack from Broughton. Gottfried and Tharon Suggs chipped in with 14 each, while Jack Hemphill added 10. Alex Hunter led the Pride with 21, and Ben Zemonek had 12. Jalen Benjamin and Jonathan Mebane had 10 each for Leesville, who have now dropped two in a row since being tied for first place.
The steadily improving Broughton team has learned a lot since its first showdown with Millbrook, a 60-56 loss.
"We've grown up a lot," Ferrell said. "We hit some lulls in December and some growing pains. Trust me, we're not out of the woods yet on that. But these guys are starting to figure some things out. I just hope here in the next three weeks we can continue to progress and not regress."
Pride girls defeat Broughton
Whenever Leesville Road made a mistake on the floor, coach Ben Daniels would say, "We're OK."
Against the Caps, the Pride were better than OK.
Leesville improved to 14-3 overall and 6-2 in the Cap-8 with a 61-43 win over Broughton. Not a lot went wrong for the Pride. They scored in transition, in the post, hit outside shots and defended well. On the rare occasion they made a mistake, Daniels would encourage his squad who, more times than not, made up for it on the floor.
"That's something that we've talked a lot about, having mental toughness," Daniels said. "I was really proud with the way we responded today."
Leesville never trailed in the contest, going on a pair of runs (9-0, 11-0) in the first quarter, leading 16-6 after one. From that point on, it was just icing on the cake for the Pride, who got a boost in the second quarter from Kelly Funderburk and Lindsey Russ.
The Caps, who only managed one field goal in the first six minutes, hit an early bucket in the second. Funderburk scored five in a row to counter. She was followed by consecutive baskets from Russ to push the Leesville lead to 18, its biggest lead of the half.
"We're really a good shooting team," Daniels said. "Despite the second half against Millbrook, we are a very good shooting team. I have a lot of girls who have the green light to shoot."
That green light led to a team-high 12 points from Funderburk and nine each from Allie Moss and Ashley Gill. Leesville was able to spread the wealth, getting at least three points from 10 different players.
"We believe in having everybody contribute," Daniels said. "That's a perfect game from Leesville Road. That's how we need to play."
Keonna Jasper led Broughton with 13 and Marcy Waters added 10 for the Caps, who cut it down to nine in the third quarter, but didn't have enough firepower to get over the hump.
"Shooting was the key," Broughton coach Brad McCorkle said. "That's a really skilled team. Both times we've played them they shot the ball well. That's the difference. We had a hard time scoring, they didn't. That's pretty much what it boiled down to."

The Weeknd Opens Up About Sex, Marriage, & Pop Music in GQ
After unveiling dual covers of Chance the Rapper and The Weeknd, GQ rolls out its profile on Abel Tesfaye for the February issue of the magazine.
In the candid interview, the "Starboy" talks about how much of his sex-filled music is based in reality.
"A lot of it is experience," he says. "House of Balloons is based off of a one-bedroom apartment I shared with all my friends. And we did what we were doing and then put it into music. And then the newer stuff is like that character in this lavish lifestyle."
Now a bonafide pop star, Abel admits he despised pop music before his rise to fame. "I hated it," he explains. "And then the sound of Trilogy became pop music. I'm mainstream. I'll obviously have those purists who will be like, 'Okay, this guy is too popular, this fuckin' sounds nothing like Trilogy, so this fuckin' sucks.'" This doesn't bother him. "I don't care at all," he adds.
In recent years, Abel hasn't just seen mainstream artists copy his sound. He's also seen them copy his hair, a 'do he's said was inspired by artist Jean-Michael Basquiat and rapper Murs. "I couldn't walk around without seeing the fuckin' Weeknd hair," he says now. "That's what I called it. New artists, artists that have been around forever—I'm not going to say any names—but they were fuckin' growing their hair."
For the story, Abel is photographed in designer threads, including pieces by Louis Vuitton, Alexander Wang, Dior Homme, Prada, Emporio Armani, Chrome Hearts, and Givenchy by Riccardo Tisci. The photography was captured by Eric Ray Davidson.
Elsewhere, Abel talks about cutting his hair, being a sex symbol, Donald Trump, marriage, and children. See highlights from the Q&A below.
On Donald Trump's 'Grab Them' Controversy: "I don't know anybody that would do that. I know a lot of people in the industry, and I don't know anybody. Like, a random girl that, like, you just spoke to? No. I mean… No. How do you even grab a pussy? Like, is it even grabbable? … America, man. They never fail you."
On Cutting His Locks: "[Cutting off my hair] feels good, 'cause I get to blend in. If I want to go to a club, I can just go and I'm not there. I can go to a restaurant and I'm not there. I look like everybody else, which is boring, but maybe I just want to look like everybody else for a bit."
On Being a Sex Symbol: "Listen, I'm not walkin' around like fuckin' Idris Elba, know what I mean? It's like…You'll probably describe me in this fuckin' thing. I'm not–look at me, this is who I am. I'm not gonna walk into the club and be like, 'Oh shit, I'm the sexiest guy in here.' The reason why they want to fuck with me is because of what I do [in the studio]. So I'd rather just focus on doing that."
On Marriage & Children: "I feel like I'm the kind of guy that would have kids before getting married. The first thing would be kids. Marriage is scary to me, man."
On Self-Regulating: "I'm much more, like, self-regulating than I was four years ago, when I first started getting everything and enjoying life. I don't focus on it as much as I used to. You know what I mean? Before, it's like, 'Holy fuck–this is amazing.' Right now, it's like a good song turns me on way more. Like, that gets me horny, like, literally gets me horny."

Police seize nearly 9 pounds of pot in traffic stop
DUBUQUE, Iowa —
Iowa authorities seized nearly nine pounds of marijuana during a traffic stop near Dubuque this weekend.
The Dubuque County Sherriff's office says the drugs were found after a vehicle with North Dakota plates was stopped on Highway 151 Saturday afternoon.
The vehicle was initially stopped for an equipment violation before authorities found 8.95 pounds of marijuana inside.
The Colorado man who was driving was arrested on suspicion of drug possession with the intent to deliver and failure to pay Iowa's drug tax stamp. He was not immediately identified.

LOS ANGELES — Adult film star and Penthouse Pet Chanel Preston announced that she will be making her directing debut for James Deen Productions.
Preston's first movie is an all-girl title, which will release in February through James Deen Productions' distributor, Girlfriends Films.
James Deen reports that Chanel Preston's style and work ethic align well with his production company, James Deen Productions. "Chanel will not accept anything but perfection," Deen said. "She believes in what she is creating and is going to give it her all."
"I'm very honored and thankful to James Deen Productions for believing in me and giving me the opportunity to pursue my goals in the adult industry," Preston said. "It's truly a great day when you can join with an outstanding company, which shares your passion and creative vision."
James Deen Productions has proved a fast-growing studio in recent years, racking up 15 nominations for the upcoming 2015 XBIZ Awards. Deen's achievements are recognized across all platforms, including producer, director and performer.
Bringing on Preston to direct is the first time the company has employed a director other than Deen.
"I never intended to be the only director for my company," he explained. "I am pretty loud about my opinions, so I feel labeling a company with my name will not only allow people to know I am giving my personal stamp of approval to the content, but also that it aligns nicely with my vision. I see no reason for me to be the exclusive creator of adult entertainment – I think it's a world we all can share and deliver different perspectives in regards to the same sexual story."
Preston has been nominated for Female Performer of the Year for the XBIZ Awards.
When asked why he took a chance on an inexperienced director, Deen said, "One time Chanel was speaking to me about the philosophy of presenting something which could be conceived as scary in a beautiful way. My response was to ask if she had ever thought of directing.
"Chanel presented me with a treatment for her idea, and I thought it was one of the most creative and clever ideas I had heard in quite a while. After a quick conversation about aesthetics, it was clear we were on the same page, and I could trust her with taking the reigns and producing an amazing project … one I hope will be her first of many."
Preston's previous experience directing and producing comes from her web series, "Naked with Chanel," which launched earlier this year. In the series, Preston helps viewers shed their inhibitions and negative attitudes about sex in order to better understand themselves and others.
Preston continues to raise her crossover appeal with her ongoing hosting work for X3Sixty's cable TV program, "Inside Adult."

Mortgage Refinance Information
Refinancing a Mortgage in Las Vegas
A mortgage is generally the largest debt most homeowners in Las Vegas have to manage.
It's a good idea to give your personal real estate finance portfolio a check-up at least once a year.
You can save a ton or make a mistake with refinancing, make sure that you completely understand the process of refinancing a mortgage, it is an important move when deciding on a refinance.
Las Vegas Mortgage Refinance
Today there are many loan programs available for refinancing your existing mortgage. Since there are many reasons that a homeowner may choose to refinance, we'll take a look at the four most common:
- Mortgage Rate Drop
- Lower Payments
- New Mortgage Program
- Debt Consolidation
If you choose the option to refinance to lower your monthly payments, you may also have the opportunity to make additional changes to your loan at the same time.
Talk with your Las Vegas lender about what you would like to accomplish and see what refinance program option is best for your.
Four Reasons To Refinance Your Las Vegas Home
1. Mortgage Rate Drop:
Typically, the most common reason that homeowners refinance their mortgage is to secure a lower interest rate. Interest rate and loan amount determines the total cost that a borrower will pay.
The lower the interest rate, the less the overall cost will be. Interest is calculated on a daily basis and usually paid back to the lender on a monthly basis.
2. Lower Payments:
Lowering a mortgage payment can be achieved by lowering the mortgage rates, lengthening the loan term, combining two or more loans or removing mortgage insurance.
3. New Mortgage Program:
Refinancing an Adjustable Rate Mortgage (ARM) to a new Fixed Rate Mortgage (FRM), combining a first and second mortgage or paying off a balloon loan are three possible reasons to explore a refinance.
4. Debt Consolidation:
If there is a sufficient amount of equity, sometimes paying off the consumer debt by combining all debts into one lower monthly mortgage payment can significantly reduce the short-term deficits in a budget. However, it's important to keep in mind the total cost of that debt by adding it into a 30 year mortgage payment.
Today there are many mortgage loan programs that offer a loans for refinancing your current existing mortgage, such as:
- Reverse
Even though they all offer the option to refinance, they do however have different guidelines and eligibility requirements as well as their own unique advantages. Below are the list of mortgage programs that currently offer a refinance option for homeowners in Las Vegas.
The Las Vegas FHA Streamline Refinance Eligibility Requirements:
- Mortgage needs to already be FHA insured.
- Pre-existing mortgage must be up to date and current.
- Refinance must lower monthly principal and interest payments or be converting from an adjustable rate mortgage (ARM) to a fixed-rate mortgage.
- Cash-back is not an option for a streamline refinance.
The Streamline Refinance (Federal Housing Administration) FHA mortgage was designed to help save time and resources by not requiring as much paperwork as other refinance programs. One way that this is possible is by offering a non-credit qualifying streamline loan, which eliminates the need for new credit checks and job verification and will be ok with just using your current mortgage as a way to qualify a borrower.
Other eligibility requirements also include:
– Having at least six months pass since the first due date of the existing mortgage.
– A minimum of 210 days must have passed since the closing date of the existing mortgage.
Basic Requirements for a USDA Loan Refinance in Las Vegas:
- Mortgage to be refinanced must already be a USDA loan.
- There must be a financial benefit resulting from the refinance.
- Borrower must be current on the present mortgage payments.
The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) created a streamline refinance option with intentions to assist the many thousands of rural homeowners who have been left in a rough financial situation after the collapse of the housing market and who currently have loans insured by the USDA.
Eligibility Requirements for HARP 2.0 in Las Vegas
1. Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac owns or has guaranteed first loan.
2. Fannie or Freddie purchased the loan prior to May 31, 2009.
3. Borrowers must be current with mortgage payments.
4. Borrowers owe more than their home is worth, or there is minimal equity.
5. All mortgage payments have been prompt in the past 6 months.
6. No sixty (60) day late payments in the last 12 months.
The Home Affordable Refinance Program was amended in October of 2011 through an agreement between the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA), Fannie Mae, and Freddie Mac, which simplified the accessibility of the program for many borrowers looking to refinance through mortgage lenders. The main goal of HARP (Obama Administration) is to assist responsible homeowners with the process of streamline refinancing. Most eligible borrowers who are current on their mortgage payments but have lost value on their homes are given this option to refinance.
The Obama Administration also announced a set proposal for a HARP 3.0 that would qualify even more borrowers by revising their already set guidelines.
Las Vegas VA Streamline Interest Rate Reduction Refinance Loan (IRRRL) Eligibility Requirements:
- Lower interest rate and mortgage payment.
- No out-of-pocket expenses.
- You Do Not have to use your current lender.
- You Do Not have to get a new Certificate of Eligibility.
- No cash-out allowed, only a reduction of interest rate.
- Not primary residence OK, as long as you certify that you previously owned the property.
The VA IRRRL Streamline Refinance is a popular refinance option for eligible VA borrowers due to the streamlined qualification process, limited out-of-pocket closing costs, and reduced paperwork. The VA IRRRL Streamline was created to help lower the interest rates of homeowners with existing VA mortgage loans.
Basic Eligibility Requirements For a Reverse (HECM) Loan in Las Vegas:
- Lower you interest rates.
- Increase the amount of payout you are currently receiving.
- Eliminate a conventional mortgage payment.
- Borrowers must be 62 years or older
When you refinance from a conventional mortgage to a reverse mortgage you can eliminate your monthly payment. A reverse mortgage allows you to use the equity in your home for any purpose you see fit. The Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) is a type of Reverse Mortgage that is insured by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The Refinance option of Reverse Mortgage allows for homeowners to convert their equity in their home to a large payout payment or a monthly line of credit.
There you have it, a list of the Common Refinance Programs available today! With the different unique purposes that they were created to serve, they all have one thing in common..and that is in helping homowners lower their current monthly mortgage payments.
Frequently Asked Questions about Refinancing
With a compiled list of FAQs on refinancing we hope that you will find the answers you may have been looking for.
Do I have to refinance with my current mortgage company?
No, you may choose any company to refinance your mortgage since the new loan will replace the existing mortgage.
Is it easier to refinance with my current mortgage company?
It is possible that your current mortgage company may require less documentation, but this could add additional cost or a higher interest rate. Do you homework and shop around to make sure you're getting the best deal.
Will I automatically qualify if I've never made any late payments?
No, you will have to qualify for your new refinance. However, certain programs will allow for reduced documentation like a FHA to FHA Streamline Refinance.

Bacteria are all around us and most of them have yet to be examined, as we don't know what they do or how do they affect us. Read more about what we do know already and how is it connected to probiotics.
We swallow around 1 billion of bacteria every single day. They are most commonly found in raw food, but they can also hide in heated food. We also consume them when we bite our nails or when we kiss our partner.
Some bacteria make it all the way to our large intestine. If you are starting to freak out, don't worry; most of them are totally harmless and actually even beneficial.
However the truth is that most of the bacteria have not been examined yet and we have no clue about how they can affect us. Healthy bacteria are a part of our everyday life, they surround us each and every day and we would not survive without them. Our ancestors could not dive into scientific research papers but by using their intuition they were well aware of what they do, when they started to ferment some food with bacteria. That is how fermented cabbage, kimchi, lassi and others were born. Fermenting is one of the oldest and healthiest ways to store food.
It is important to note that in the earlier days, each fermenting process had its own bacteria. Germans used different bacteria for fermenting their cabbage compared to the Asians and their kimchi. However, nowadays the process of fermentation is standardized and unfortunately the bacteria are not so diverse.
What are probiotics?
The bacteria that have been examined already and we know are good for us are called probiotics. The most famous ones are members of lactobacilli and bifid bacteria. They can be found in yoghurt, buttermilk, fermented cabbage and other fermented vegetables. They contribute to well-functioning intestines and therefore they strengthen and protect our immune system.
In addition, probiotics stop harmful bacteria from procreating, they help digest food, improve absorption of nutrients and they also have important role in the prevention of diseases such as intestines inflammation, skin problems or colon cancer.
Probiotics – next to the natural resources – can be bought in pills. You can be sure what bacteria is in it and you also have a better chance of them arriving to your colon, where we need them, and that they will survive the digestive system, including the gastric acids.
When should you switch to pills
Probiotics in pill form are important supplement especially after antibiotics treatment. The reason why is because antibiotics destroy not only the harmful bacteria but also the beneficial ones.
After a round of antibiotics we therefore need to renew our gut flora. But it is not just antibiotics that destroy beneficial bacteria in our intestines. They are also harmed by bad diet, stress, alcohol and many other medicines. Probiotics are a great supplement when one suffers from diarrhea, constipation, bloating and other issues connected to the digestive system.
My review of ProbioticsOne Daily Support
I have recently got an offer to try the probiotics brand ProbioticsOne Daily Support. I have never taken any probiotics supplements because as you probably know, I prefer to rely on a quality diet. I try to include fermented foods such as fermented cabbage or kimchi. I have agreed to the offer driven mainly by my curiosity. I also liked the fact that the pills are vegan, non-GMO and naturally gluten-free.
Big plus is the fact that you do not have to store them in a fridge and you can consume them with food as well as without food. Digestion and the support of digestive system is a long journey, it is not as easy as simply taking few pills for a week and it's all fixed! By consuming probiotics, you are digesting beneficial bacteria but you also have to feed them healthy nutritious diet so they do not die immediately and can function effectively. When I started to take the probiotics I did not just complete an antibiotics treatment or anything like that and my digestion was not in a bad state at all. Hence I have not observed any major changes. However, I can say that I felt better while taking them.
I am not very committed when it comes down to taking pills regularly so I did not take them every day, but I have instinctively reached for them every time I did not feel well, for example when I felt bloated. I don't know if it was just a placebo or not but the truth is, I did feel better every time I have taken the probiotics. Placebo or not, I'll take it!
Probiotics can definitely do you some good. If you feel like your digestive system needs some extra care, why not start here. These probiotics have an excellent composition; they contain 6 billion bacteria and fall in the happy medium range.
Update: I took the probiotics with me to Thailand and I'm so glad I did. I had some tummy issues at the beginning (mostly because I was stupidly eating gluten before my travels which causes distress to my digestive system) and probiotics for sure helped with my quick recovery!
What about you and probiotics? Do you take them or not?

BBC3 has eye on youth with hire of Cohen
EmptyBBC3 has wooed E4 boss Danny Cohen to serve as its new controller, the channel said last week (HR 4/11). He replaces Julian Bellamy, who returned this year to Channel 4 to take the commercial broadcaster's top post.
Cohen, who as head of E4 commissioned controversial youth fare like teen sex and angst drama "Skins," will head the BBC's digital youth channel with an eye to making it more relevant to teens and young adults. Former BBC3 head Stuart Murphy left the broadcaster last year for a role in the independent production sector.

Fucking Whimsy Of The Week. A series of original paintings from photos I've taken or things I've seen that I *have to* paint. Call it whimsy with an edge if you prefer, but either way, I promise they're delightful.

Pet portraits. Animal portraits. Best friend portraits. Fur baby portraits. Whatever you call them, I paint them. What started as a love of cats has blossomed into a love of all animal paintings, and especially a delight in the joy those animals (and animal paintings) bring to their humans.

Sometimes I paint characters from comics and movies. Sometimes I don't. I prefer painting from photographs I took myself - like the Star Wars figures here, taken at the museum in Times Square - or better yet, doing pop culture mashups. Those (almost) always make me smile.

I have a not-so-secret love for high quality art in unexpected places, like white boards and USPS boxes. I try to update the signage at Escape Pod Comics whenever I'm there, and I often decorate boxes when I'm shipping emergency ccokies to a friend. Here are a few of my favorites.

Occasionally I paint or ink people in shades of grey, rather than in color like I generally prefer. Then I'm reminded that while these moments of humanity may have less whimsy, they are no less beautiful.

My friend Sarah McMullen is a fantastic photographer in Pittsburgh. I paint some of my favorites from her Instagram feed each week. Same rules as FWOW - one hour, from initial pencils to final signature. It's a great exercise for me, and a chance to interpret one artist's medium through my own.
If I need a fun warm up, I draw my leftovers. Dinner plates. Cups of coffee. The remains of the day. And the creatures that reside in those completed meals are colorful (of course) and fucking whimsical (natch).
This is a digital-only series. If you're interested in prints, please contact me directly.

Heat a grill pan over high heat. Toss the bell peppers, squash, mushrooms, garlic, herbs, olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl. Brush the onion rounds with olive oil and season with salt. Brush the grill pan with olive oil, then grill the bell pepper mixture and onion rounds (in batches if needed), turning, until tender and marked, about 10 minutes. Peel the garlic.
Meanwhile, cook the couscous as the label directs.
Pulse the garlic, 2 pieces grilled bell pepper and the yogurt in a mini food processor or blender until smooth. Add 1/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste. Cut the remaining grilled bell peppers into chunks and toss with the squash, mushrooms, herbs and onion in a large bowl; season with salt.
Fluff the couscous with a fork and divide among bowls. Top with the vegetables and almonds and serve with the yogurt sauce.
