WHEN I tell my fellow Americans that people in the UK are taught that a constitution is a set of nebulous undefined principals rather than a written legal document the responses I get range from disbelief and confusion to raucous laughter.
After all, our laws are built on the English, Scottish, and French legal systems. We're taught about English Common Law and the Magna Carta in school. The Declaration of Arbroath is cited as the inspirational document for our Declaration of Independence. The UK calls itself a "Constitutional" Monarchy so it must have a constitution of some sort, we assume.
People living in the UK are the only people on earth who teach their children that a constitution is a set of principles. America, like most of the rest of the world, thinks a constitution is a legal document that exists to both enable and constrain the government. The constitution is the source of the government's rights and responsibilities, as well as a wall of separation between the government and our rights. A set of nebulous principles cannot enable a government, it cannot be a social contract between the people and the government, it cannot lay the foundations for government, nor can it by law keep the government within due bounds.
But it serves a secondary function. The arguments over devolution in the UK which are breaking up Britain aren't possible in the US. With some very sad exceptions, such as American Samoa, some other US colonies and Washington DC, each region of the US is fairly equal in terms of representation in government and political power.
The USA with a population of some 320million has only 535 legislators. There are 435 in the lower House of Representatives but each of the 50 states has just two Senators in the Upper House putting each State on an equal footing in the upper chamber of Congress.
However, simply having a constitution isn't enough. Violations of basic human rights are commonplace in the US, from innocents being killed by police to domestic spying and wiretapping.
Where Americans have decided to draw the line is to make freedom of speech an absolute. Almost all of us like our First Amendment, even though it causes no end of grief. There's been recent movement among bigoted conservatives in the US to ban transgender Americans from using the bathrooms appropriate to their actual gender, as opposed to their sex at birth.

More clients may have access to managed accounts through their 401(k) plans today than in years past, but half of plan investors don't understand how these accounts actually work, according to a new study by Fidelity.
That understanding gap may offer some advisors and plan sponsors an opportunity to educate clients.
Indeed, 401(k) plan investors can expect to see increased education on what professionally managed accounts are and how to best use them in 2016, says Sangeeta Moorjani, senior vice president of Fidelity workplace managed accounts.
"What we see from our employer base that recordkeep at Fidelity is they continue to add managed accounts because they think it adds a more balanced plan design," Moorjani says.
In its research, Fidelity found that employers use managed accounts to retain and attract employees. The accounts also "play an important role in helping employees be better prepared [for retirement]," Moorjani says. More than half of employers with Fidelity felt that managed accounts were a great retirement tool for their employees.
In the past four years, the number of employers offering managed accounts more than tripled but Fidelity found that 49% of individuals don't understand how managed accounts work.
"That becomes a barrier," Moorjani says. "Once those benefits are explained, 54% say this is a very relevant concept for [them]. Fifty-two percent say 'I would benefit from that service.'"
Many employees are confused by the number of choices on an investment menu.
"When someone can break it down for them and help them understand the benefits it is very helpful to them, especially in times of market volatility like we are in now. What employers have seen is people are extremely anxious," she adds.
When people are anxious, they make extreme decisions like being overly aggressive in their investments or overly conservative.
"That's where professional help and guidance is seen as a key aspect for employers to help manage these turbulent market volatility times," Moorjani says. "We see more and more employers in times like this reaching out to employees about how best to use plan options and why managed accounts would be a good way to ease the ride, so to speak."
When employees are asked what the biggest benefit is of using managed accounts in their retirement plan, 48% said that managed accounts are constantly monitored by a professional.
"I like to think of managed accounts as shock absorbers. What's happened the last [few] weeks in the market, if your account is professionally managed you are not seeing the swings. You may not get the best top upside but you won't get the downside either," Moorjani says. "They do a great job of managing the risk an individual would experience through volatility and it is great that the message is resonating with employers and employees of the benefits of a managed account."
Education is the key, she says, recalling a Fidelity client with 70,000 employees that wanted to raise awareness around retirement readiness and managed accounts. Fidelity worked with the company through online channels, intranet mailings, at-home mailings and more. Not only did the number of employees adopting managed accounts go up, but even people who didn't enroll in a managed account increased their retirement plan deferral rate to start saving more, she says.
"Managed accounts smooth the ride and keep people even. Staying even is the best way. As history has taught us, it is not good to be rash," says Moorjani.

After a long period of fast growth, Indonesians face a wobbly currency and high interest rates.
INDONESIA'S YEARS of growing rapidly have halted, at least temporarily. Now there's reason to wonder whether 1998 might be a year of living dangerously.
After nearly a decade of economic growth averaging about 7% a year, Jakarta has to deal with a distressing double-whammy: the regional currency turmoil that has ravaged the rupiah and raised interest rates to painful levels, plus a devastating drought.

I recently had a private session with someone who was starting the divorce procedures. They were gearing up and bracing for a battle. Energetically; that was EXACTLY what they were doing. They were reliving going to war. It was not necessary.
We come together with such love and passion, that we think that we have to remove our energies from each other with venom and hate. It is a process, it is true to separate our energy field from the joint orb that we have melded it into. But it can be done with kindness; if it is done with awareness.
In our private sessions, I help this person separate their energies from their spouse by doing EFT taps where they remove all the vows and agreements between themselves and the spouse and take back their Joy. There is also a way to dissolve the marriage with such thoughtfulness, that peace never has to be disturbed and Love can prevail.
We are evolved enough to figure out the process of living and remaining totally in the Love as well. That includes allowing everyone else to remain in the Love.
If you are going through the process of divorce, you may want to try these EFT taps. It doesn't have to be so hard.
(Say each statement three times while tapping on your head, and say it a fourth time while tapping on your chest.)
I release confusing divorce with going to battle, in all lifetimes.
I release creating conflict to separate from my spouse, in all lifetimes.
I release using hate to separate from my spouse, in all lifetimes.
I release using conflict to justify my freedom, in all lifetimes.
I release creating drama to depart from the marriage, in all lifetimes.
I release hating my spouse, in all lifetimes.
I release defining divorce as the absence of Love, in all lifetimes.
I release falling out of the love, in all lifetimes.
I am centered in love, in all lifetimes.

People don't consider the situation from the other person's point of view, in other words. When you're trying to get someone to do something for you, you likely pay a lot of attention to what it will cost the person to say yes. But most people also fail to acknowledge the potential cost of saying no. "No one wants to reject others, particularly not face-to-face," Bohns and Flynn write. ...
That said, there are some ways to phrase your request that are more likely to work than others. No surprise, a direct question works better than tiptoeing around the subject. In that same 2008 study with the Columbia undergrads, Bohns and Flynn asked the students to try to get passersby to fill out a questionnaire, either indirectly (by handing them a flyer) or directly (by simply asking). The strangers were much more likely to fill out the questionnaire when asked directly than when handed the flyer. The real-life lesson, then, is that you can hint around at what you want all you like, but you'd be much better served if you just asked plainly.
Other research in this area has shown that people are more likely to comply with a request if you give them a reason, even if that reason is kind of dumb. And if you try all these things and still don't get what you want, don't give up — try again. Bohns' research has shown that people are more likely to say yes after they've said no once, perhaps because they feel guilty over the initial refusal.
But the words you use when you ask matter, too. In another experiment in that 2008 study, some students were told to frame their question straightforwardly: "Would you fill out a questionnaire?" Others were told to first ask, "Can you do me a favor?" and then ask that same question. In the straightforward condition, 57 percent of the passersby complied; compare that to 84 percent of those in the favor condition. Your mom was right: People are happier to do what you want them to if you ask nicely. But first, you have to ask.

We're close to one full year since I started this beautiful project and I cannot wait to see what happens to the site around that time!
Now, for this update of Love for 10969, we'll be back in Indonesia – in Jakarta in fact- to hear the story of Putri regarding her inclusion to the ONE OK ROCK fandom! For those who do not know, Putri is the owner of the website TheDailyStorm and she is one of the people I know overseas who has visited Manila for the first ONE OK ROCK concert in the country! Her story is quite cool to hear by the way! Why not read it here with me and see how this blogger went around Asia for this epic band!
Q 1: When did you first hear about ONE OK ROCK and what song was it? Be specific of the date and what occurred after you heard the song.
My first ONE OK ROCK song was The Beginning. It was back in late 2012, I was lounging around in my sofa watching Japan Culture hosted by Danny Choo. The show had this 5 minutes slot for trending songs in Japan and they featured 5 secs of The Beginning MV.
what happened after that? what ran through your mind when you heard it? did you immediately research about them?
I thought they're a pretty good band, they caught my attention and was quite different from other J-rock bands I know. But it stopped there and I didn't look for more. And then in June 2013, I saw commercial in Waku Waku Japan that they're coming to Indonesia in November 24th, 2013. At the time, I remember immediately, 'Hey, this is the great band I saw back then in the show!' I immediately checked the ticket when they're on sale and bought it.
So because I was going to the show, then I checked to Youtube of their songs. I converted to full fan right away after hitting The Beginning, Jibun Rock, and No Scared. I was so sold I then bought a ticket to their show in Kuala Lumpur too after that.
Q 2: favorite song from the band so far and why
My fave song… it's tough LOL. But I play My Sweet Baby a lot before I sleep. It's like my beauty sleep routine smile emoticon
anything to add in the favorite song list?
I have so so much fun with their emo songs like No Scared and Jibun Rock. But All Mine is just so special, it inspires me so much for my novel smile emoticon
Q 3: Do you collect merch featuring ONE OK ROCK? if so, what do you have?
Of course haha. Mostly DVDs and Primal Footmark.
Q 4: Hard question no 2… Who in ONE OK ROCK do you love/adore/like and WHY? it can be a novel :)))
Well, at first I didn't have specific someone I rooted. I liked them as a band. But when Toru smiled at me during concert in Jakarta it caught me off guard, it became personal. So I guess, I'm weak to Toru's shy
LOL He sent me love sign in Manila too grin emoticon
Be specific
Be specific… in Jakarta I was in his side because my friend is his fan. So I was there to accompany her basically. It was so crowded and I was pushed around, but I enjoyed the show. And I didn't really put too much attention to Toru. But at some point, he stood so high so close to the edge of the stage, I had to notice him and we sorta had eye contact, and bam! He smiled.
Anything else you like about Toru? aside from that zing moment?
And I couldnt believe it, so I asked my friend, 'Did he just smile at us?' and my friend said 'YES!' hahaha. Since then, I kind of noticing him more grin emoticon
Other than that, I actually have this image of him of intimidating kind of person. But when I see fan photos with him and videos, he's actually really nice and sweet.
Q 5: How has ONE OK ROCK changed your life and how did they inspire you?
Well, truthfully I wasn't that much into J-rock scene. I like some rock songs in anime, such as those in Naruto. But they never able to convert me as a loyal fan.
lyrics and work ethic wise?
Yeah, their lyrics also play a good part. Chaosmyth, Living Dolls, and Kanzen Kankaku Dreamer are so inspiring. for me personally and professionally. They're an all-round band, great lyrics, charismatic vocal of Taka, and solid adorkable band <:3 adorkable? lol
Yeah lol I mean, they're rock stars, right?
But as a fan following their IG account diligently, they cook, they act like boys next door, fanboying Avril Lavigne, stuffs like that so adorable. You don't see that much from other rock stars.
lol that is true
I like them still keeping ground of themselves even after reaching worldwide status 🙂
Q 6: Now lets get to that thing you mentioned, writing a novel yes?
Ah yes, still on progress though 🙂
How did the ONE OK ROCK songs inspire you in that?
The specific song inspiring me most and brings out the best mood for me during writing of the novel is All Mine. It just hit all the right notes and carries out the best of my characters!
Can you give us a rundown as to what your novel is about?
I would like to write something universal, and romance is the best language. The story of two vertical lines heading different directions but somehow got the chance to meet and they were never the same again.
The novel will speak a lot of what we feel inside often taken for granted, being adventurous, and the courage to open new doors. In which I hope the novel will inspire others (and me) too, to just go out there and live the life you've always wanted 😉
Q 7: Cant wait to read that. Now u first saw them in 2013 yes?
so how did it all go? tickets, the expectations and the highlights of that 2013 live
It was beyond my expectation. It was the right time.
lol details?
The tickets weren't that expensive, in Kuala Lumpur I only had to spend less than US$100 for VIP Festival in Yellow Zone. In Jakarta, less than 50 bucks. And they performed like crazy as they were just starting to build fanbase in Asia. In Kuala Lumpur, the concert was so intimate as it was considered a small venue, just like a night club turned into stage. So I had a really good view of them.
I can give you pic of when Taka sang Wherever You Are and gave me pose!
It's my treasure LOL
The best of 2013 lives was they had this intro. They introduced themselves in local language, how they love local food and the city, and they did their best in understanding slangs. So cute. This sadly didn't happen in 2016. 2013 was the year of two way communication of OOR and fans. It was intimate moment! 2016 concerts were too short (1,5 hours) compared to 2013, 2 hours with the intro.
And more expensive too in 2016 haha.
anywho. anything to add for the 2013 experience?
2013, Ryota sang Indonesian National Anthem and it was amazing! Hahaha.
And I was in their 2 secs of Fool Cool Rock DVD hahaha.
Really? which bit? send me a screenshot
When queuing in KL 😉
Q 8: Since 2013, which lives have you seen after? got any favorite lives?
2016 Manila and Singapore. I bought VIP ticket in Taiwan 2016 too, but I had to cancel it due to clashing work schedule. Jakarta 2013 and Manila 2016 are my favorites <:3 Check out Putri's Manila and Singapore experience in this link and here respectively!
seems many loved Manila and from what i hear from people, even OOR did love it
Yeah, they performed better in Manila than in Singapore. I could tell back in Singapore Taka was so worn out it affected his vocal!
i did hear from a Filipino fan who also watched in SG but i think, we did make quite an appeal to the band
considering their expressions that night and well, their posts
Yeah, they gave so much love for Manila in their posts heart emoticon
haha, ah well, we will be certain Part 2 is a reality
I'm sure they will be back. But then Taka said the same in Jakarta but they didn't hahahaa
Q 9: where do you intend to watch the band next?
I do have a plan to go to Europe this Spring on May and June. Happens OOR have the same schedule there. If my plan is on track then I'll be there in Leipzig, Munster, and Paris lives <:3 Q 10: Tips for fans aiming to go to their lives. what should they remember and what they should avoid? Tips... 1. If you want VIP ticket, you have to buy it the 1st day it's sold! My VIP ticket in Manila is sold within 2 minutes the online system start selling the ticket. If it's festival like in Singapore you can buy it much later. 2. Dont record throughout the show, please! Respect other fans. 3. Bring a towel grin emoticon (you'll sweat a lot more than you spend an hour at the gym). thats all?
Yep! Other than that, enjoy the show 😉
Q 11: Your message to ONE OK ROCK should they find themselves stumbling upon Love for 10969
My message would be…. stay fuckin' awesome, keep away from drugs and cook some more delicious curry! heart emoticon
Ahhh! I wish I can do Putri's Asia hopping too when they return in the area after 2 years… or later than that! Someone is currently preparing on Japan. hahaha!
Visit Putri's blog when you have the time because I did enjoy it too! I'm waiting for that novel though! PUTRI! I WANT ONE!
Where are we going next week? Why not guess!

The new year and goal setting.
We have had a fun filled few days. New Years Eve was so much fun. We went to our city's family firework display at 8pm and then came home to decorate party hats, light sparklers and eat 'number' apple pie while we drank fake wine.
We watched a movie until just before midnight and then swapped channels to watch Sydney's midnight firework display.
New Years Day was spent lazing around the house, Tim took Cruz fishing and then we all went into town to purchase a new rug for our lounge. The new year feels really good. On New Years Day, Tim and I sat down with a diary and mapped out our goals for the year. I think that this is one of the best ways to start a new year. It gets us all motivated and on the same page.
After sharing that we had gone through our goals (on Facebook) for the year I had a few readers message and ask me to explain how we set our goals. I do not like talking in depth about personal goals (especially when it comes to money), but am happy to give a brief-ish outline of what we do and have planned.
The first thing we did was decide when Tim would take holidays in the year and what we would do on those holidays. We have decided that during every school holidays (while I'm on holidays) Tim will take a week off too, with two weeks off in December. One of those weeks will be spent away enjoying a nice break as a family and we have decided on the location. We will also we enjoying a weekend away for our anniversary. Knowing what holidays we will be taking and where we will be going gives us something to look forward to during the year. We haven't planned big holidays as we have a number of goals that we would like to achieve around the house, which all costs money.
Next we looked at our goals for around the house. We wrote them all down and then prioritised. This is what our home improvement list looks like. We are hoping to complete them in order and are just going to see how far down the list we get.
1. Carpet Cinema
2. Finish the laundry
3. Buy a mirror for the mantel.
4. Purchase an outdoor setting.
5. Install the air con in the playroom.
6. Fix the bathroom shower.
7. Install an outdoor screen for the projector.
8. Choose a BBQ for the outdoor area.
9. Install plantation blinds in the lounge.
10. Look at a new bed for the bedroom.
Lastly we looked at our financial goals. This we have done every year (sometimes multiple times during the year) since we got married. We have come a long way since we started this 6 years ago. The first year we just aimed to get on top of all our bills with direct debits. Then slowly we added new goals - in 2013 we finally completed the goal of no credit cards. Over the last 6 years we have moved into a position where we pay off all our bills before they come. It took us a long time to get here. Rates, electricity, car rego, gas etc are all direct debited in advance (car registration can not be direct debited so we put the money aside into a separate account) and the boys both have small amounts of money that are debited into their accounts each fortnight. We have now had to add an account ready for Tim's motorbike registration as well. It never ends.
Over the years, once we had made everything 'pay for itself' automatically (so that I couldn't forget a bill), we calculated how much money we would need fortnightly to pay for our bills. We then had our employers pay this amount into our 'Bills' account and any money left over from our pays was debited into a 'spending' account.
Our bills account includes paying for the boy's savings, all our direct debits, our loans, mortgage, insurances, sponsor child, our tithe etc. Our spending account includes money for our groceries, fuel and then the leftover money is ours for the fortnight. Sometimes there is extra because of overtime for Tim or Thermomix commission for me, other times there isn't. It varies from week to week. We do not have an eftpos card that allows us access to our Bills account. This has worked brilliantly for us, because we know that the money needed for bills is there even if we run the spending account dry. We also no longer accidentally spend money that is needed for our bills. I'm hoping that makes sense!?
Anyway, this years financial goal is to add an account for Christmas savings so that when we get to Christmas the money for presents, food and end of year functions is there. We do not shop in the mid year Christmas toy sales as I do most of my shopping online from small stores, so I will use that account for any of these purchases.
That's it for 2014. I'd love to hear how others set goals and what has helped you stay on track during previous years. Sometimes we do well, other times we don't - it really just depends on what life throws at us during the year.

If travelling with Trenitalia, you need to know the Vittorio Veneto to Tolentino train schedule: the first train leaves at 06:05, while the last ride is at 15:05. A Vittorio Veneto to Tolentino train cost about 51.55 €. But how long is the train ride from Vittorio Veneto to Tolentino? Your journey takes about 8 hours on average.

The "landmark" first gig that I set off to directly from my new job, was this midweek trip up "The Smoke", to catch the band who arguably now occupy REM's former position at the vanguard of US indie/ alternative rock, Ohio's The National. Their last go-around, 4 years ago, saw them cement their status as the "go-to" band for all earnest black-shirted muso types, by selling out 2 nights at the cavernous Ally Pally (my gig 897), so it was inevitable that tickets for their announced 4 dates at the more intimate (but still bloody huge) former Hammersmith Odeon, in support of their current "Sleep Well Beast" album (which sees them augment their usual deliciously dark, morose late night alt-rock with subtle smatterings of electronica beats, without going full-on "Empires And Dance" on our collective asses), would be as rare as rocking horse shit. Luckily, I got in on the advance-CD purchase pre-sale, hitting "refresh" until one of my 4 open windows furnished me with a ticket. Tuesday (day 2) I got, so Tuesday it is!
Facebook friend David Line, formerly vocalist of Seafood (the only UK band worth half a damn, during the late 90's/ early 00's, and still, at 22, my most-seen "live" band – and a brilliantly visceral experience every time, I might add…!) also got Tuesday, so I was on the lookout for him! Headed off at 4 and hit the venue just before doors at 7, after a trouble-free journey and took a place on the wonky barriers, extreme left, watching the National's congregation respectfully file in. My early arrival unfortunately also meant that I was subject to another support slot from The National's "pet" support act, This Is The Kit. As before, they were female fronted, polite, accomplished and understated US alt-country – music for walking a rainy Appalachian trail, perhaps – with an occasional pretty intertwining harmony or discordant riff to divert me from their usual material, which was unfortunately quite, quite dull. The biggest cheer was when they brought the National's Aaron Dessner to sit in on guitar for a couple of their later numbers. Hmmm…
The place actually felt like a sell-out by now and I left my front-row but oddly obscured vantage spot for a loo break, spotting a familiar looking face on the way back, about 1/3 back. True enough, t'was Mr. Line, and greetings, introductions to his lovely family, and catching up comfortably passed the time until the lights dimmed at 9, a "Please Stand By" message appeared on a large overhanging video screen, and video of The National themselves, hanging backstage, was projected, until they emerged to a reverential welcome. Opening with 4 straight new numbers – there's confidence in your audience and material for you! – they sounded pindrop-perfect, their bleak, introspective and hauntingly gothic new material given incongruous life by some startling blocks of ultraviolet colour on the screen , interspersing the usual band performance shots. "Walk It Back", stark and bucolic, recalled "Automatic"-era REM and was an early highlight, before a blood-red backdrop heralded the oozing, slow-burn intro of "Bloodbuzz Ohio", a somewhat understated version, leading ultimately to its' usual dramatic climax.
"Understated" is probably the operative word for this whole performance, actually… brilliant sound, an expertly chosen set veering between slow, stripped back material and their rockier moments (a perfect example being a brilliant mid-set double of an angular, propulsive "Mistaken For Strangers" and a racy, jet propelled "Graceless", being followed by the tender "Carin At The Liquor Store", as if to clear the air), Matt Berninger's usual befuddled Geography teacher stage presence and vocals veering between half-remembered mumble and startled shriek, and the Dessner twins' occasional dual guitar shredding, throwing sharp relief onto the reverentially observed quieter moments. All that and more… it again felt, however, that The National were playing within themselves, pacing themselves over the 2 hours, or even 4 nights. Nothing wrong with that, I guess; a few moments of driftwood in the set for me, sure, but when it worked (the afore-mentioned "Mistaken"/ "Graceless" double, a startling, proto-punk "Turtleneck" or the brass blare fanfare of a singalong and totally appropriate "England") it really was quite breathtaking.
"Day I Die" was ragged and riff-strafingly dramatic, and the taciturn Berninger announced set closer "About Today" as, "the most depressing song ever written… enjoy!" "Terrible Love", the final of a 3-song encore, finally saw Berninger really cut loose, crowdsurfing, Frank Turner style, as the song took dramatic flight behind him, bringing another slightly uneven but occasionally majestic 2 hours to a close. A fortuitous set-list and farewells to my gig companions – good to catch up with David again! – before a similarly unimpeded journey home. Worthy as ever, The National, and at times stunning; overall, a splendid evening!

Chris, our sales guy was awesome. Honestly, he single handedly (by his personality, approach, humbleness and kindness) sold us on our A/C and furnace system. We got quotes from another local Lennox dealer, but we were turned off by the sales guy. The work done by 1st Choice was quick, efficient, and done right! The technicians were very respectful and kept me updated on their progress. My entire HVAC system was replaced in less than 6 hours.

Our dog doesn't necessarily love going to the vet, but I don't think she minds going to All Pets. She loves all the attention she gets there. It's nice to be recognized when you walk in and know that people genuinely care about your pet as much as you do. We have been bringing our dog here for about 14 years.

Setting the Stage
Hello! This is Michelle Spalding and today I want to talk to you about setting the stage. No, I'm not talking about home staging. That's not what I'm here to tell you about. What I want to talk to you about is setting the stage for a smooth transaction.
Here's what I propose. When you get a property under contract no matter what side of the deal you're on, you want to reach out and connect to every party that involved in the process.
Remember you're only strong as your weakest link so you want to make sure that you tighten up or sure of those links at the very beginning to let everyone know how you want this process to take place. Reach out and connect to the buyer's agent or the seller's agent depending on which side you are on. Introduce yourself formally. Ask them do they prefer email, phone or text conversation and then they can know and do your best to communicate with them in the way that's most effective to you in getting the information that you need.
Reach out to the sellers, to the Title Company. Let the Title Company who you are. Let them know that you are available and that you want to help if a situation arises. Let them know how to reach you and make sure they have a full and complete copy of the sales contract. Request a title commitment and a preliminary HUD at that time as well. Again, reminding them that you want this to be a smooth process for your clients and of course for yourself.
Reach out to the buyer's lender. Introduce yourself. No matter whose side of the deal you're on the lender should know how to reach you. The lender should also have a full copy of the sales contract and you want to let them know I'm looking for the appraisal. Make sure that you let me know when that comes in and how that came in. And also that you want to know when they have loan commitment ready and point out in the contract if there was a date that was agreed upon that's when it's due. It's better that to let the lender know today that you're expecting the loan commitment in three weeks than two days before the loan commitment is due to call and remind them that hey, the loan commitment is due in two days.
Whatever you do you want to proactively maintain communication with everyone involved in the transaction by setting the stage at the very beginning and letting all the parties know how you want this to take place. They will do their best I'm sure, to meet or exceed those expectations.
Here at Transaction Management Consultants, what we do is help our clients leverage their time. We also make sure that those other parties involved in the transaction are doing the things that they are supposed to be doing in order to make this a smooth closing for you.

You cannot not communicate. This is sometimes known as the First Law of Human Communication (Watzlawick et al. 1967). All action or inaction is a form of communication — it makes a statement — and all communication is, in some sense, in some sphere, political. From pointless prattle to significant silence, communication has an impact. Language and communication are matters of syntax, semantics, and pragmatics. It's the pragmatics of human communication that makes it unavoidably political.
Software is a form of communication. As Ed Yourdon and I said way back in the turbulent 1970s, good software is written to be read; it's a message from one programmer to another programmer — or to a future self. It is also a message from the programmer to the user, filtered through the slow and somewhat inept interpreter known as the user interface, saying something to the user about how the developer viewed and made sense of the world. The system and its user interface are the media through which the programmer's mental model is communicated to the end user. Whether the message gets through and in what form depends on many things, among which both the intent and the ability of the developer are paramount.

I wasn't really sure what to put here. After all, this isn't about me, it's about the photographs. I've never enjoyed reading these little "I love me" paragraphs where photographers stuffily tell us how wonderful they are. My life and its events are significant to me - I don't expect them to be significant to you.
I just enjoy taking photographs. I'm not trying to save the planet, I'm not communicating some greater message that adds deep and thoughtful meaning to the world, and I'm not trying to pretend that just because I photograph something that somehow I care more about it than anyone else. I'm just taking pictures. It's fun.
So, if you've wasted enough time looking at this, please have a look at my photographs and tell me what you think - both good and bad.
If you see something here that interests you, contact me to see if it's available.

The US Congress struck a sprawling spending deal overnight that included a measure tightening the Visa Waiver Program (VWP) by excluding certain travelers deemed by Washington to be a risk. The text, which is expected to be voted on within days, includes legislation adopted by the House of Representatives last week which excludes citizens from VWP countries who are also dual nationals from Iran, Iraq, Syria and Sudan. It would also exclude anyone from the 38 participating nations, mainly in Europe and largely US allies and stable democracies, who has traveled to those four countries, or to a country Washington has listed as supporting terrorism, since March 2011.

On your island, you get to know the outcome(s) and see coverage of one event (they'll mail you the DVD via Netflix). You can have all the pre-event coverage, event coverage, and post-event coverage. This does not mean that you get to watch the entire Football season if you choose the Superbowl - but it does mean that you get all the pregame coverage and analysis and post game celebration.
Feel free to choose an event that's not annual - up to you.
I choose the Oscars, including the red carpet. I considered the Golden Globes so I could know what's funny on TV, but the show itself is not nearly as entertaining. The Oscars are - plus, all the up-and-comings are there presenting awards. Mostly, I just love the gowns and the snotty comments from those who could never pull them off.

Doubt. As a believer in Christ I wrestle with doubt from time to time. Honestly, I think it is a healthy process to reevaluate your belief system-to search for truth. Christians are often lumped into the stereotype of being narrow minded, brainwashed, ignorant and uneducated. Christianity is the only faith that is backed by archaeological, philosophical, historical and biological evidence. God has provided the evidence to quench our doubt.
The following statements describe one man. Who is it?
-"Those who hate me whithout cause are more numerous than the hairs of my head."
-"The kings of the earth take their stand and the rulers conspire together against the Lord and His Anointed One"
-" Strike the shepard and the sheep will be scattered"
-"They peierced my hands and my feet."
-"My God my God, why have You forsaken Me?"
-"They gave me gall for my food, and for my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink."
-"They divided my garmets among themselves, and they cast lots for my clothing."
-"He submitted Himself to death."
-"He bore the sin of many and interceded for the rebels."
-"He protects all his bones; not one of them is broken."
-"They made His grave with the wicked, and with a rich man at His death, although He had done no violence and had not spoken deceitfully."
-"He was oppressed and afflicted, yet He did not open His mouth. Like a lamb led to the slaughter and like a sheep silent before her shearers, He did not open His mouth."
-"Yet He Himself bore our sicknesses, and He carried our pains; but we in turn regarded Him stricken, struck down by God, and afflicted."
The following statements unmistakeably describe one man, Jesus Christ. However, these statements are found in the Old Testament which was completed 400yrs before Christ was born. No critic, no atheist or agnostic has ever claimed these prophecies were written after His birth. Their credibility is undeniable. You will find no predictive prophecies in any other religous writing: not Buddha, Confucious, Mohammed, Lao-Tse or Hinduism. Jesus Christ stands apart. The odds of just 10 prophecies becoming true is mathmatically impossible. The above statements represent a miracle defying impossibility. My doubt is quenched and my faith is strengthened.

There is no proof how can a person believe in a book written by men for a king that's wants control of the Jews more people die in God's name because someone believes a fairly tale . Human's been on this planet for 7 million years sorry don't wash . If there is a god it could've done far better job.also bibles would not be needed all information would be imbedded in our brainReplyDelete

Where can you shop, save money and help fight poverty? The answer, my friend, is The GAP.
From November 12 to November 15, you'll get 30 percent off your purchases at any GAP store nationwide (including sister store Banana Republic and forgotten step-sister Old Navy). GAP will give 5 percent of your purchase to CARE, a leading humanitarian organization fighting poverty around the world.
For those of you who need even more incentive to ... go shopping this weekend (huh?), Stella McCartney launched her adorable GAP Kids & Baby collection just this past week. So get thee to a GAP, as Shakespeare would have said were he into denim and basic tees.

It's no secret that when it comes to porn, Pornhub knows exactly what you're watching and for how long. And in the case of our country, the verdict is – Indians love watching other Indians in action, if the website's recent survey is to believed.
In a country where discussions around sex are still taboo, where pre-marital sex and non heterosexual sex are still considered a sin, and where there is little or no talk of sex education or even any discussion around the topic, it's no surprise that we remain one of the most prolific consumers of porn (fourth in the world to be exact!) in the world.
The survey findings underline the chronic need for us as a nation to destigmatise sex, bring it out of the closet, and have a conversation around it. "Most countries take great pride in their nationality," Pornhub says in its blogpost analysing pornographic behavious of different countries, "but India takes it to a whole other level as made evident by their top searches on Pornhub".
A cursory look at top searches from India this year only makes this point clearer. The majority of searches (top, relative, and gaining) include 'Indian', whether it is Indian teen, aunty, bhabhi, actress or teacher. "One top term that came seemingly out of nowhere to make it into the top 10 list was in fact 'Indian aunty with young', flying up to the top by 81 spots," the blog notes.
In line with the global trend, about 70 percent of Indian consumers preferred porn on their smartphones, registering 10 percent increase in comparison to 2015. While 48 percent of overall porn watchers were in the age group of 18-24, people belonging to age group of 25-34 made a 28 percent contribution to the porn traffic.
In all, the website streamed nearly 92 billion videos over 23 billion visits during the year. Like every year, USA and the UK lead the charge, with Canada unseating India from the third spot in terms of traffic.
Our pornographic desires notwithstanding – the data that has emerged from the survey is actually quite instructive. It not only holds a mirror to the lens of taboos through which we view sex and porn in our country, but also provides an insight into curiosity surrounding sex amongst citizens in the country. It is high time we Indians look at the data and start a conversation around the issue.

Russian air strikes Saturday on an Al-Qaeda run prison in Syria killed nearly 60 people, a monitor said, as aid needed in three besieged towns where people are reportedly starving was delayed. The bloodshed came as UN envoy Staffan de Mistura met in Damascus with Syrian Foreign Minister Walid Muallem to prepare for peace talks between the government and the opposition. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the air raids that hit a building near a popular market in the northwestern Idlib town of Maarat al-Numan killed 21 civilians, 29 militants and seven detainees.

SEBASTIANE (Derek Jarman) (1976)
Derek Jarman's 'Sebastiane' is a momentous painting which is simply brushed on film rather than canvas. This is a master work and should be in any serious film buff's cabinet. (I should very much like to see it running continuously upon a smooth stone wall of a monumental pillared vestibule - perhaps like the Four Seasons in New York. It's visual beauty should be constantly on view.
Not one element could be added or deleted. If I may continue the painting analogy, each stroke, whether finished or raw melds this work into a composition which I think is flawless. The men are beautiful, but in a tangible human manner. The settings, whether Diocletian's startling lurid palace or the rough bare terrain of Sardinia evoke both pagan and Christian motifs flawlessly. Good and evil (and all shades between) found in both places; the irony of the world as it is and has always been.
The homoerotic nature of the film is visceral, candid rather than overtly condescending - it might well be set in modern Iraq with 21st century troops. I felt each character's longings, whether for the god of carnal flesh or that of human love and companionship or a spiritual and other worldly deity. The recognition that each of these forms of Eros may intertwine and meld is genius. It is Everyman. It is a scrupulous portrait of the easily duplicitous qualities of beauty, deceit, brutality and even truth. Powerful stuff.

To play Spain's BonoLoto, pick your six lucky numbers from 1-49. Choose from 8-line one-time entries or 8, 9, 10 and 11-number systematic forms. Buy your official lottery tickets online and receive a scan of your BonoLoto ticket before the draw with theLotter's See Your Ticket service! Want to find out more about how it works?
Spain's BonoLoto has a bonus number called the Complementario, which is drawn from the same drum as the six jackpot winning numbers. The Complementario is used to decree the popular Spanish lottery's 5+1 second place prize division, and can turn a match-5 ticket into one worth hundreds of thousands of euros!
An additional reintegro number is randomly assigned to each BonoLoto ticket. In the draw, the reintegro is selected and BonoLoto tickets purchased at theLotter which match only the reintegro receive this refund, less theLotter's service fee.
When you buy Spanish BonoLoto tickets online at theLotter, there are plenty of ways to save! Save as much as 25% with the purchase of a 5, 10, 25 or 52-draw BonoLoto Lotto multi-draw package, or buy a subscription and get every 10th ticket free. theLotter players can also build up VIP points to save up to 20% on all online lotto purchases!
The BonoLoto jackpot starts at €400,000 and rolls over if there is no jackpot winner. Although this lotto is known for having many winners share its prizes, the BonoLoto record jackpot of €7,000,000 was one by a single lottery winner back in 1990. Match all six numbers selected from the 49 BonoLoto balls and you will win your share of a €400,000 to multi-million euro top prize!
V.T. from India joined theLotter in April 2012 and after a sweep of wins throughout the year, and in 2013, enjoyed a big BonoLoto third prize of US$4,429.25. V.T.'s choice of a smaller lottery with more favourable winning odds paid off, and the theLotter member continues to enjoy playing European and American lotteries without needing to leave India!
theLotter sends free automatic email and SMS win alerts every time you win on a lottery line. Wins up to US$ 2,500 in value are sent directly into your theLotter account soon after the results are published. Larger prizes may need to be picked up in person in Spain. All wins of over €2,500 in Spain have a 20% tax.
Spain's BonoLoto is played six times a week, from Monday-Saturday. It is therefore important to check which draw you are entering before playing and when checking results. Each of BonoLoto's Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday drawings occur at 19:00 GMT, and ticket sales for this Spanish lotto close approximately three hours prior to the official draw.

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — It was quite a stretch of 48 hours for the University of Wisconsin men's basketball team.
Two days after an embarrassing loss at home, the Badgers nearly had to deal with what would have been a devastating defeat on the road.
It's no wonder UW coach Greg Gard and his players let out a huge sigh of relief Monday night after escaping with a 64-63 victory over Penn State at the Bryce Jordan Center.
If there's such a thing as a must-win game in early December, this one qualifies, especially when you consider how hard it would have been for UW to pick itself up the floor after a monumental collapse down the stretch.
"Oh, yeah, we needed this one bad," sophomore point guard D'Mitrik Trice said after UW's first win away from home this season. "I think this team really, really needed this."
Junior forward Khalil Iverson scored a team-high 16 points to help the Badgers avoid an 0-2 start in Big Ten play. Freshman Nate Reuvers added 11 points as UW extended its winning streak over Penn State to 10 games.
The Badgers (4-5, 1-1 Big Ten) led by as many as 17 points in the second half and were up by 14 with under 5 minutes to play, but they got sloppy and had to hold on for dear life after the Nittany Lions pulled to within one point three times in the final minute.
In the end, UW made just enough plays to survive. Winning a close game was a big step for a young team that failed to do so in losses to Xavier, Baylor and UCLA earlier this season.
"It's tough getting a Big Ten win on the road," Reuvers said, "so any way you can do it is good."
Even considering UW's dominance in this series — it has now won 23 of the last 25 meetings — this was a surprising result considering how the teams were trending coming into the game. While the Badgers were reeling following a 25-point home loss to Ohio State on Saturday, the Nittany Lions were feeling good about themselves following a win at Iowa.
But the loss to the Buckeyes — UW's most lopsided defeat ever at the Kohl Center — provided a gut-check of sorts for the Badgers.
"We kind of just flushed out Saturday," Trice said. "That wasn't how we play. It wasn't Wisconsin basketball and we didn't have any energy and we just focused on coming out and competing really, really hard from the beginning."
It showed. For 35 minutes, the Badgers played inspired on both ends of the court. It was a completely different team on both ends than the one that showed up Saturday in Madison.
UW shared the ball and took good shots on the offensive end. They were even more impressive on defense, making life difficult on Penn State's two leading scorers.
Nittany Lions sophomore guard Tony Carr finished with 16 points, but he missed 17 of his 22 shot attempts from the field. Sophomore forward Lamar Stevens, meanwhile, finished with just four points on 1-of-7 shooting.
Sophomore center Mike Watkins had a monster game for Penn State (7-3, 1-1), finishing with 22 points, eight rebounds and seven blocked shots. But limiting Carr and Watkins to a combined 20 points — they were averaging 20.6 and 15.2, respectively — was a huge response from a defense that looked awful two days earlier against Ohio State.
"Our identity is on defense and Saturday we clearly didn't have that at all," Iverson said. "Today, I think we came out aggressive on both ends and it led to us having a good game — except for the last five minutes."
After Reuvers scored in the paint to give UW a 57-43 lead with 4:53 remaining, senior guard Shep Garner scored seven points to spark a 16-3 run by Penn State.
A few self-described "boneheaded" plays by Trice led to him getting benched with 65 seconds remaining. But he returned to the floor after freshman guard Brad Davison followed a turnover by fouling out of the game.
"It looked like it was snowballing on him a little bit," Gard said of Trice. "He just needed to get out and calm down and re-evaluate."
A pair of free throws by Garner cut UW's lead to 60-59 with 43.5 seconds remaining, but Trice made four free throws in the final minute to help hold off the Nittany Lions.
Carr made two free throws to pull the Nittany Lions within one point with 14.7 seconds remaining, and they had a chance to pull ahead after UW redshirt freshman forward Aleem Ford missed the front end of a bonus situation.
But Carr missed a 3-pointer from the right wing, and Ford hustled to secure a jump ball that gave UW possession with 0.6 seconds remaining. The Badgers inbounded the ball, the buzzer sounded and they finally could exhale.
"Just proud of our guys," Gard said. "We battled. It hasn't been an easy 48 hours after our home game on Saturday, but it's nice to see a bounce-back and look more like a Wisconsin team should look."
According to UW junior center Ethan Happ, who had nine points and 10 rebounds before fouling out, the quick turnaround after the loss to Ohio State was exactly what the Badgers needed to get an awful taste out of their mouths.
"It sucked to sit there and think about it," Happ said, "but at the same time I think we came out and played so hard because of the way we played on Saturday."

BAGHDAD – Iraqi Security Forces, working in conjunction with Multi-National Division – Baghdad Soldiers, found a weapons cache during a combat patrol in southwest Baghdad Jan.8.
Iraqi Soldiers from 1st Battalion, 3rd Brigade, 6th Iraqi Army Division located a cache containing two 82 mm mortars, a SVIP rocket, a 155 mm rocket, a mortar tube, a hunting rifle, 10 feet of wire and 44 mortars of various sizes during a patrol in Saydiyah.
The munitions were taken to the unit's headquarters for disposal.
Additionally, Concerned Local Citizens in Doura handed over eight 82 mm mortar fuses to Soldiers of Company D 2nd Battalion, 4th Infantry Regiment, 10th Mountain Division attached to Task Force Dragon.
Explosive Ordnance Disposal personnel destroyed the fuses at a Coalition Force base.

September 30, 2005--Friday Feature: Fanaticisms II
But as with so much else in the Big Apple, parking is about a lot more than a space in a No-Tow Zone. It's also about ethnic and religious identity.
Take Diwali, for example. For Hindus, Diwali is an annual festival of lights and the latest parking cause in the on-going Culture War. There are 33 holidays in New York when Alternate Side of the Street Parking rules are suspended, days when cars do not have to be moved. For holidays such as Yom Kippur, Christmas, Immaculate Conception, Asian Lunar New Year, Shemini Atzeret, and Id al-Fitr among others. Most of the world's major religions and ethnic groups have a parking day of their own. But not Hindus. Therefore, the battle in the City over Diwali [see the report in the NY Times, "A Hindu Festival of Lights, and Parking?" (link below)].
The City Council this week unanimously passed a law to include Dawali; but Mayor Bloomberg, in spite of being in the thick of a reelection campaign, has indicated he will veto it, risking the lose of the Hindu vote (though probably assuring at least 90 percent of the Staten Island vote). Not that he is anti-Hindu; it's just that the streets have to be swept (we should be so lucky).
Hindu business leaders showed up at City Hall the other day to demand "respect and equal treatment." I say amen, or whatever.
And then there is the business of Rabbi Schneerson. You may remember him as the Grand Rebbe of the Brooklyn-based Lubavitchers. He died back in 1994, but apparently is still exerting his influence from beyond the grave [see the Times piece, "Fertile Blessings Indeed" (link also below)]. He is interred at Old Montefiore Cemetery and his gravesite has become a sort of pilgrimage site for Lubavitchers. Most who make the trek there are hoping to be witnesses when he arises as the meschiach, or Messiah. Though this has not happened as yet, others, while waiting, have also taken to asking his help with another matter—fertility.
When he was still alive, he received his followers each Sunday at his house on Eastern Parkway in Brooklyn. Jews from Russia to Roslyn would come to him seeking various forms of assistance, including and especially in conceiving children. He would give each person a dollar and a blessing, "Easy pregnancy, healthy child." It worked so well that infertile couples now come to visit him at the cemetery. Of course they no longer receive dollar bills, but they do appear to get pregnant. One couple, for example, that tried unsuccessfully to conceive for nine years recently had triplets as the result of the Rebbe's intervention, and, as the Times reports, with "the help of in vitro fertilization."
This couple returned to Montefiore the other day, with their three children, to thank the Rebbe and then to go to the nearby visitors' center where they had bagels and whitefish salad.
New York, as you know, has the best bagels in the world.

Special gifts, donations in memory of a loved one, and planned giving opportunities contribute to the Memorial and Gifts fund of the church. Special effort is made to match donors' interests with particular, tangible needs of the church.
The interest from our church's endowment fund supports new programs and special ministries.

A special way to remember a loved one is through the "Tree of Life," which is located in the narthex. With a contribution of $500 or more, a leaf is inscribed on the tree and a donation is made to the endowment fund for a lasting legacy.

* Armstrong ends years of denials, admits drug use

* Offers to co-operate with doping authorities (Adds reaction)
By Julian Linden
* Armstrong ends years of denials, admits drug use
* American says he never felt like a cheat
* Offers to co-operate with doping authorities (Adds reaction)
By Julian Linden
NEW YORK, Jan 18 (Reuters) - Lance Armstrong ended years of vehement denial on Thursday by finally coming clean and admitting he had cheated his way to a record seven Tour de France titles with systematic use of banned, performance-enhancing drugs.
Confessing his "toxic" tale to chat show host Oprah Winfrey, the cyclist described himself as a "flawed character" while at last owning up to being at the center of one of the biggest drugs scandals in world sport.
In one word at the beginning of the interview broadcast worldwide, cancer survivor Armstrong confirmed his place in any gallery of fallen icons who have shamed their sport, the likes of drug-cheat sprinters Ben Johnson and Marion Jones.
"Yes," he replied when asked directly whether he had used performance-enhancing drugs.
Winfrey rapidly fired questions at him, offering the 41-year-old little respite, grilling him about every aspect of his tainted career.
Without hesitation, and showing no signs of emotion, Armstrong replied "yes" to questions about whether he used specific drugs, including erythropoietin, human growth hormone, and blood doping.
When asked why he had repeatedly lied about using banned substances until Thursday's startling admission, he told Winfrey: "I don't know I have a great answer.
"This is too late, probably for most people, and that's my fault. I view this situation as one big lie that I repeated a lot of times.
"This story is so bad...so toxic.
"It's not as if I said no and moved off it. While I've lived through this process, I know the truth. The truth isn't what I said and now it's gone."
Armstrong inspired millions with what had seemed like a fairytale career, and said he did not believe he could have achieved what he did without breaking the rules due to a culture of drugs in cycling.
"Not in that generation. I didn't invent the culture, but I didn't try to stop the culture," he said.
"It's hard to talk about the culture. I don't want to accuse anyone else. I'm here to acknowledge my mistakes.
"I will spend the rest of my life trying to win back trust and apologizing to people."
Armstrong said he had never considered himself to be a cheat and had been sure he would get away with it, until out-of-competition tests were introduced and testing procedures dramatically improved.
The last time he cheated was in 2005, he said, when he won his seventh Tour de France on the streets on Paris. He made a comeback in 2009 but said he never used drugs again.
"I looked up the definition of a cheat to gain an advantage. I didn't view it that way. I viewed it as a level playing field," he said.
Armstrong's admission came months after the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) released a detailed report describing him as the ringmaster of the "most sophisticated, professionalized and successful doping program that sport has ever seen."
While he confessed to cheating and bullying, he denied several of the other accusations that have been made against him.
He rejected suggestions he failed a doping test at the 2001 Tour of Switzerland then paid off the International Cycling Union (UCI) and doping officials to cover up the result.
"That story isn't true. There was no positive test, no paying off of the lab. The UCI did not make that go away. I'm no fan of the UCI," he said.
Armstrong said he thought he had got away with it when he retired for good in 2011 but his downfall was triggered by a two-year federal investigation that was dropped but led to the USADA probe.
USADA boss Travis Tygart said Armstrong still had some way to go if he wanted to make amends.
"Tonight, Lance Armstrong finally acknowledged that his cycling career was built on a powerful combination of doping and deceit," Tygart said in a statement.
"His admission that he doped throughout his career is a small step in the right direction. But if he is sincere in his desire to correct his past mistakes, he will testify under oath about the full extent of his doping activities."
Armstrong has already been banned for life, stripped of all his race wins and dumped by his sponsors but his problems are far from over.
"I thought I was out of the woods," he said. "I just assumed the stories would continue for a long time. We're sitting here because there was a two-year federal criminal investigation."
On Thursday, hours before the interview went to air, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) stripped him of the bronze medal he won at the 2000 Games.
The IOC said after the interview that Armstrong's confession was "too little, too late" and echoed Tygart's call for him to testify at an inquiry.
