Canterbury coach Des Hasler is unfazed about his side's patchy form heading into the NRL finals, describing the competition as anyone's for the taking.
The Bulldogs have slipped from the top four with two straight losses and are in need of momentum heading into their final regular round game against South Sydney on Friday.
Hasler said he was more concerned about turning around his side's poor handling and other fundamental mistakes.

I want to start by saying I am not a fan of spending this kind of time too make a review but I had created a review on a local review site and see that this office had somehow had my review removed. As a medical professional, I believe people making a choice for a dentist or doctor should have all facts and information available to them when making the decision to visit the provider.
Almost went to this as we don't have many good options in Cheyenne. After my previous dentist retired, I went to the new dentist in his practice and absolutely hated him, he was horrible. I began looking for a new dentistin the Denver area and found this office and attempted to make an appointment. The woman on the phone (Sherrie?) was flip and condescending, but I didn't want that to turn me from what could be a good dentist - more importantly I need a good hygienist.
First this office wanted me to pay $50 to make an appointment.I understand wanting patients to keep appointments, but the explanation didn't sit well with me. I decided to hold off and do some checking on references/reviews. This office seems to have a reputation as a car salesman, money-first business. This set off a bit of a red flag, so I checked a little more and discovered that the dentist here has had a few issues with the state Dental Agency, with a history of improper treatment and recently gave medication to a patient who had a medical condition that this medication could have resulted in serious consequences, possibly death.
Needless to say, because I suffer anxiety at the dentist and require some sedation, I passed on this dentist and found a great office in Fort Collins - closer to my home.
This reviewer shared experience about poor customer service and wants this business to read this review and look into the issue (if any).

Last Friday was officially "National Nude Day" in New Zealand, but it seemed to be a relatively quiet one by usual standards in the south.
One streaker did manage to interrupt NZ First leader Winston Peters, as he was speaking to students on campus at Otago University, while the famous Gardies Tavern was no doubt as busy as ever.
But the passing of National Nude Day hasn't meant the end of nudity in Dunedin. Things are heating up in the local radio promotion, "How to Look More Good Naked 2".
The original More FM radio promotion last year saw individuals posing nude (tastefully of course ;) on billboards around the city, with contenders being progressively eliminated as time went on.
The sequel has 5 Couples (of various makeups) pairing up for a new billboard campaign (drive by Andersons Bay Road in Dunedin if you live in the south, to check out the new naked billboard).
Anyone can register online to vote (once a day) at the More FM Dunedin website. Eliminations began today, with Team A the first to leave the competition. (The next elimination round is Wednesday at 5pm).
My friend Jade was a finalist in the original Naked Billboard promotion, and she has teamed up with another female finalist from last year to try and take out the top prize this time as TEAM B.
They need your support now as the competition enters its final stages...
So to help do your national duty, and ensure a hot girl-on-girl nude billboard graces Dunedin's main streets, please Vote for TEAM B at the More FM Dunedin website (register, then click under 'Competitions' and follow the links from there). :-)
** Update: Team B have also entered a 'teaser video' in TV's Sports Cafe Nude Day video competition, responding to Marc Ellis' promotion of a rival (co-ed) team on last week's show...
There's also lots of other great Dunedin entries you can support in the Nude Day video competition, at the World Nude Day website...

Eat, drink, and be merry (on a work day!)
By Juliet Soh
My favourite time of the work day is probably lunch, where I get to hang out with my colleagues and have light-hearted conversations that (most of the time) don't have much to do with work.
My "lunch clique" is an adventurous bunch. We previously made a resolution to discover new eating places around the International Business Park, where we are at, and managed to find three after a lot of walking and surveying security guards of different buildings. It was rewarding!
Recently, the JCube mall opened and we trekked there, had lunch at a restaurant that we've never had our lunch at before. The change (of environment and menu) actually perked me up a bit. Who would have guessed how minor changes and some extra walking could make work life more interesting?

In another sign that the struggling U.S. economy is facing tough headwinds, the U.S. Census Bureau has just released a report showing that home ownership -- a key foundation of the "American Dream" -- has fallen to its lowest level since 1998.
Meanwhile analysts at Morgan Stanley, looking at the same data but also adding data on mortgages that are significantly delinquent and viewed as likely to end up in foreclosure, say that the rate of home ownership may actually be lower still, hitting a level not seen since 1965.
The Census report, which surveyed home vacancies during the second quarter of 2011, found that 65.9% of American households are living in houses that they own. That's down from a 2004 high of 69.2%, down from 66.9% from a year earlier, and matches the level of 1998.
The median asking price of a home in the second quarter was found to be $138,000, with prices still trending lower.
The Morgan Stanley analysts, meanwhile, say that when likely defaults are added to the mix, the actual home ownership rate at present should be just 59.2%, which would put home ownership back where it was in 1965, the first year the Census Bureau began conducting annual housing surveys.
The Morgan Stanley analysts, in their report, conclude, "The combination of falling home prices, limited mortgage credit, continued liquidations, and better rental options is fundamentally changing the way Americans live." They add, "We believe this change is only beginning and is moving the country towards becoming a rentership society."
The Census Bureau survey finds that 10.8% of total housing units in the U.S. are currently vacant. Slightly more than half of these properties are being held off the market, either by banks or owners because of the current low sales price.
Home ownership rates are highest in the Midwest (70%), and lowest in the Western U.S. (60.3%), but declined in all regions on both a quarter-to-quarter, and year-to-year basis.
The Census report shows that home ownership rates are highest for people over 65 (80.8%), and lowest for those under 35 (37.5%), but ownership rates are down for all age groups except for retirees, whose rate of ownership hasn't changed from the year earlier.
Among racial groups, homeownership among non-Hispanic whites was highest (73.7%), compared to 56% for non-whites, and 44.2% for black households. Ownership rates fell for all three groups over a year ago.

How do you make an effective complaint?
One of the first things you'll want to do if you think you've been the victim of clinical negligence is make a complaint. This is only natural and is often as far as people wish to take the process. If you've suffered from what you feel was negligent treatment, but were fortunate enough to escape unscathed, then registering a complaint, in the hope that others will be spared the same treatment, and that you receive an apology for what happened to you, may be all you want to do before getting on with the rest of your life.
If you've been left affected by what you feel is negligent treatment, however, and will continue to suffer for an indeterminate period, then a claim for clinical negligence may be appropriate.
Initiating a complaint against the NHS, or starting a claim for clinical negligence, can turn out to be a long and complex process, which means it's vital to seek the advice of an experienced and accredited clinical negligence solicitor at the earliest opportunity. They'll be able to ascertain whether you actually have grounds to make a claim and what the chances of success are likely to be. The fact that you've already launched a complaint via a platform such as the official NHS Complaints procedure will have no legal bearing upon your case going forward and may even prove to be extremely useful in seeking more information – such as asking to see your medical records under the auspices of the Data Protection Act 1998 – and building up a comprehensive picture of what actually happened to you. This picture can then be used by your solicitor as part of the mechanism of initially putting your case together.
If you're only interested in having your complaint noted and dealt with, as opposed to seeking compensation, then an official complaint, rather than a claim for negligence may be the path to go down. Clinical negligence compensation is about having your suffering and the negligence which caused it recognised, and receiving a payment aimed at stopping you having to suffer financially as well as physically and psychologically. Even if the court finds in your favour, they won't be able to discipline the medical practitioner involved, compel the hospital or individual professional to alter their practices or make them apologise to you.
Complaints procedure
People who feel they've been let down by the treatment offered by the NHS are sometimes reluctant to either complain or take action. This is fuelled by a combination of the daunting nature of taking on such a monolithic organisation – one which employs more than 1.6 million people – and, in many cases, a degree of affection for the institution and a sense that the people working in it are only trying their best. Whilst this is usually the case it is a misguided approach in two senses; firstly, in that negligence claims, in order to succeed, deal with those cases in which healthcare professionals have failed to uphold the standards expected of them, and secondly in that the organisation itself recognises that standards can sometimes slip and has mechanisms in place for recording and dealing with such cases. The right to make a complaint is set out in the very constitution of the NHS and includes pledges that all complaints will be fully investigated with the results of these investigations being relayed, in full, to the patient involved. It also includes the right to seek a ruling by the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman and, crucially, the right to receive compensation if negligence has led to you suffering harm.
All of this is in stark contrast to the perception often created of an NHS being swamped by frivolous compensation claims. Given that the number of patients treated every year by the NHS is the equivalent of 243 million and that the number of claims made against the organisation represents just 0.005% of this total, it's clear that things rarely go badly wrong, and that the NHS has the policies and processes in place to track these cases, learn from them and only compensate patients when both negligence and harm are genuine. The fact that this can involve long and complicated court cases is testament to the professional reputations at stake in such cases and the complexity of the evidence which needs to be weighed in order to establish the cause of any injury, its extent and the impact on a claimant's life going forward.
Claims against the NHS will be dealt with by the NHS Litigation Authority (NHSLA), an independent body which, according to the most recent stats, paid out £1.1 billion a year as a result of the harm suffered by patients.
Complaints or claims against a private practitioner, on the other hand, will be made against either the practitioner individually or the body for which they work. In both cases, your solicitor will bring together all the relevant records of the treatment you received and cross reference this with your past and current state of health. If they feel it can be demonstrated that you've been the victim of negligence then they'll begin putting a case together, although the hope (and frequent reality) will be that the case can be settled long before it reaches court.
Private practices are regulated by the Care Quality Commission and the General Medical Council, independent bodies which, between them, set out a framework of good practice against which any suspected negligence can be measured by an expert such as a clinical negligence solicitor.
Common complaints
According to the Patients Association, a campaigning organisation aiming to improve patient safety across the UK, the most common causes of complaint which people bring to them are as follows:
- GP diagnosis – An initial diagnosis which either misses the presence of a condition, or diagnoses the wrong condition.
- Struck off a GP list – A patient feeling they have been removed from a GP practice as a reaction to them making a perfectly legitimate complaint.
- Rude clinicians – A medical professional treating a patient in a manner which is brusque, dismissive or sometimes prejudiced.
- Waiting times – A patient feeling that they have been made to wait in pain, or for badly needed medical attention, for far too long.
- Adult social care – Often involving individuals or families who feel that elderly relatives are not receiving the proper level of care from the nursing or care home in which they reside.
- Dentist charges – Patients who claim to have been informed of the charges for dental work only after the work has been carried out.
- Delayed eferral to a specialist – A patient who feels that a GP has been reluctant to refer them to a specialist, causing a delay in diagnosis or treatment which has worsened their condition.
- Private healthcare – Patients who feel that the some of the fees they were eventually charged by a private practitioner were hidden at the time the treatment was delivered.
- Medical records – Patients who obtain a copy of their medical records and find they contain comments or diagnoses which they feel to be erroneous.
- Care in hospital – Patients who feel that the standard of nursing care which they, or a loved one, received whilst staying in hospital fell below what they would expect.
Not all of the above necessarily represent cases of neglect, but they do show the range of things that can go wrong when patients interact with professionals, and the subtle differentiations which have to be made between systemic issues, differences of understanding and genuinely unacceptable behaviour.
The Patients Association also reports to the All Party Parliamentary Group for Patient Safety and Katherine Murphy, Chief Executive, issued the following statement in December 2015:
"The Patients Association was delighted to welcome an expert panel to give evidence at the second meeting of the APPG for Patient Safety. The APPG for Patient Safety was created to highlight that much more can be done to improve patient safety across the NHS, particularly towards complaints handling and infection control.
"It was pleasing to hear that both the Government and NHS England recognise that patient safety must be at the heart of the culture of the NHS. Better complaints handling is key to bringing about this culture change. It is fundamental to the work of the Patients Association, and we are hoping through this APPG to help create an NHS with greater openness and transparency."
Duty of candour
The recognition of the importance of patient complaints in formulating future health policy, and the need for transparency within the health system was enshrined in law in the form of the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014: Regulation 20. This regulation states that providers of health care have a duty to be open and transparent with services users and the people representing service users, as well as setting out steps which must be taken when things go wrong such as informing the patient, providing support, providing accurate and truthful information and issuing an apology. The presence of a duty of candour and the official admission, following scandals such as that in Mid Staffs, that improvements in health care are often driven by the complaints of patients underline the importance of making such complaints, and, where applicable, of claiming compensation. Such mechanisms are not only vitally important for the individuals directly involved, but also for those individuals in the future who may enjoy the benefit of a service which has been improved through learning from its' mistakes.

Singapore's Resorts World guests to get world-class IT services
SINGAPORE, 16 MARCH 2010 Guests at Asia's first integrated family resort located in Singapore will not just be treated to world-class hospitality services when they check in. They will also be assured of world-class IT services as Japan's NEC has committed to deliver 24x7 managed services to Resorts World Sentosa for the next three years.
NEC Asia won the contract to deliver the managed services to Resorts World Sentosa, which opened last January in record time.
The resort complex combines hotels, shopping and dining establishments, a casino, convention centre, spa and other attractions such as a marine theme park and museum, and Universal Studios, which is opening this week.
Under the contract, NEC will provide 24x7 service desk operations and IT technical support, asset management and desktop security operations, among others. The services contract will involve more than 40,000 network points across the 49-hectare development valued at S$6.59 billion (US$4.7 billion).
Resorts World Sentosa said it chose NEC for its reputation and experience. We are confident that they will be able to provide the managed services required to support our round-the-clock operations as well as value-add to the world-class services we provide, said Yap Chee Yuen, senior vice president and head of IT, Resorts World Sentosa.
NEC Asia, which specialises in systems integration and consultancy services, said IT support services are important to the operations of Resorts World Sentosa as guests expect uninterrupted services to make their visit to the resort pleasant.
NEC is experienced in providing similar IT managed services in Japan and globally, and we are extremely thrilled to be chosen by Resorts World Sentosa again, to support them for another part of its operations, in this mammoth destination, said NEC Asia's CEO Kiyofumi Kusaka.
Uninterrupted services
Providing uninterrupted IT services and operations to Resorts World Sentosa is in line with NEC Asia's mission to be a regional hub for IT services.
NEC Asia continues to set its sights on developing and extending its outsourcing services to clients in this region, the company said.
NEC Asia is a subsidiary of NEC Corporation, a provider of Internet, broadband network and enterprise business solutions. Its Asia Pacific headquarters is located in Singapore.

A federal court in San Antonio, Texas, convicted New Hampshire National Guard Lt. Colonel Raymond Valas, 41, of sex trafficking a minor. The minor was a 15-year-old girl. During the trial the Colonel said he was contacting the female prostitute as part of a research project for his Army War College thesis.
Valas made contact with the teenage prostitute during his stay at the Airport Hilton in San Antonio on August 26, 2013 according to an article by Guillermo Contreras in the San Antonio Express-News. Valas claimed he did not have sex with that prostitute. His attorney, John Convery, said that Valas took a lie-detector test and passed it, however, the judge did not allow said polygraph to be admitted as part of the defense's evidence.
The teenage prostitute said Valas did have sex with her not once, but twice. He paid her $150 for each sexual encounter according to another article in the Express-News.
Breitbart Texas reviewed numerous evidentiary documents the federal government admitted as evidence showing several pages of phone numbers Valas allegedly used to call and text message advertisers on Backpage.com, a webpage commonly used to advertise prostitutes.
Valas claimed to not know the prostitute was a minor. The defense presented testimony of the trafficking victim's testimony in two previous trials where she said she was instructed by her pimps to say she was over 18.
The government argued the girl was clearly underage according to a report by Jeremy Blackman with the Concord Monitor, a New Hampshire newspaper covering the trial. Assistant U.S. Attorney Geoff Barr claimed the girl had braces with pink bands on them.
Barr claimed the girl's testimony could be trusted because her story had remained consistent while conveying her story to strangers that included law enforcement officers, prosecutors, probation officers and sexual-assault examiners.
As for his "research" claim, four fellow Army officers, not his superiors, testified that Valas told them he was contacting prostitutes for his work while out of town. U.S. Attorney Bettina Richardson mocked this testimony by asking, "Seriously, he's been researching prostitutes for 12 years and never produces a research product about it? Is that reasonable or ridiculous?"
Ultimately, the jury did not buy Valas's research defense and convicted the Lt. Colonel on the charge of sex trafficking a minor. Valas is being held in San Antonio pending a sentencing hearing.
Despite the Pentagon's zero tolerance policy towards sex trafficking, four of Valas' fellow officers testified on his behalf. These officers were all members of the New Hampshire National Guard.
The officers each said they saw nothing wrong with Valas reaching out to prostitutes, or that they would have to know the context. One of those officers, Jason Speitz is the sexual assault response coordinator for the New Hampshire National Guard. He was admonished by Federal Judge Fred Biery for being evasive in his answers.
Major General Bill Reddel said, in a statement on the New Hampsire Guard's Facebook page, "This has been a trying time for all of us, but due process was carried out. We will continue to uphold the values and standards that make the New Hampshire National Guard a professional and well-respected military organization."
The New Hampshire National Guard reported to the Concord Monitor that Valas was a respected former infantryman with an array of post-deployment accomplishments, including humanitarian work in El Salvador as pictured above. He also founded a hurling team, the Barley House Wolves, for veterans returning from overseas. Valas is married and has three children.
Breitbart Texas previously reported the trial and convictions of Malcom Deandre Copeland and Amber Doak who conspired with Marcus Deshawn Wright in trafficking this minor female and another one. Wright was also convicted of two counts of sex trafficking of minors and one count of production of child pornography according to an article by Van Darden on KSAT.
Valas could face up to life in prison. He is scheduled for sentencing on February 27, 2015.

This unique beach cottage property in Heceta Beach, Florence, Oregon is the ideal place for those who appreciate rustic yet modern accommodations, stylish decor, and thoughtful indoor / outdoor amenities. There really is no other place quite like this property in the Heceta Beach area. It is serene, private, and secluded, yet you can walk to the beach and two different popular eateries in just a couple of minutes, and charming 'Old Town' Florence and other popular local attractions are less than a 10-minute car drive away. We (the owners) live in a separate house on the opposite side of the property for better service and your privacy is ensured (only a breezeway connects the two houses today).
The Cottage includes an attached garage for parking; a clean and bright kitchenette; a 3rd floor loft with ocean views; a charming 2nd floor living / dining area with wood-burning stove; and a spacious 1st floor Master Suite with Queen Bed and Bath that attaches to a private courtyard / hot tub area. *NOTE: As described above, a second Master Suite with Queen Bed and Bath will be made available if you are bringing more than one guest (see photo descriptions).

I also offer an 'Equine Learning Experience' with my two well behaved horses and several guests have told us that this was the highlight of their trip! Let me know if you might be interested in this when booking (there is a separate charge).
Other Things To Note
-Our property insurer requires that our guests be at least 28 years old to rent the Cottage.
-The only cell service on the property is Verizon. There is no landline, but there is free, secure WiFi and the connection is very fast.
-The cleaning fee includes careful maintenance of the hot tub between guests.
-We live on the South side of this large property with our two well behaved dogs in separate house for better service. The two houses are connected by a breezeway. Guests have their own garage, hot water tank, etc. The dogs are kept separate from guests unless you'd like to meet them.
-There is no washer or dryer in the Cottage but there are two laundromats that are just a short drive away.
-The cheery galley-style kitchenette is small but serviceable and loaded with appliances for cooking. It does not have a stove. The fridge is a mini-fridge and there is now also a full-sized refrigerator in the garage adjoining the kitchenette to accommodate more groceries during longer stays.
-The 6-person dining table is on the second floor. There is a two-person dining table in the first floor Master Suite, and another two-person table in the hot tub courtyard area, as well as chairs and table on the patio and in the sun-room.
- The Cottage is located about 300 feet from the beach on an after-dune. This means we are sheltered from some of the heavier winds that Heceta Beach at times experiences, yet you can walk to the beach easily in just a couple of minutes. There are ocean views from the 3rd floor loft but we are not beachfront.
Additional Features:
You will have exclusive use of half of this 1/3rd acre property 300 feet from Heceta Beach, with all related indoor / outdoor amenities, including a private hot tub; sun-room; patio / grill; and outdoor firepit.
Heceta Beach Vacation Cottage Featured In Oregon Coast Beach Connection:
Oregon Coast Lodging Latest: Vacation Rentals
Published 08/26/2017 at 5:23 PM PDT
By Oregon Coast Beach Connection staff
Already making a big splash on the central Oregon coast near Florence is a new vacation rental lodging called Heceta Beach Vacation Cottage, which was until very recently simply called Sapphire Sands Vacation Suite. After opening in June, already owner Rebecca Mandeville has expanded. Sapphire Sands opened to rave reviews, even as a tiny bit of luxury a couple hundred feet from the beach. But it just got bigger.
Now, Mandeville has changed the overall name to Heceta Beach Vacation Cottage to encompass new rental configurations that sleep up to 5 people.
At the northern end of Florence, above Heceta Beach.
"This vacation rental is INCREDIBLE! The space is clean, beautifully decorated, and stocked with everything you could ever need. The beds were very comfortable and the cozy robes and towels made us feel as if we were staying in a luxury hotel. The hot tub is roomy and clean, and in a cute breezeway connecting the houses. My favorite part was probably the adorable sun-room - a perfect spot for reading when you wake up earlier than your housemates! The proximity to the beach is fantastic - only a few minutes of walking along a nice trail just behind the house and you are smack dab in the middle of Heceta Beach, which was gorgeous and not overly crowded. I appreciated Rebecca's attention to detail, her prompt communication, and her obvious passion for pleasing her guests. We also went for a horseback ride on the beach. It was fantastic; the cherry on top to a truly wonderful weekend! We will be back again soon, I'm sure!"

Department of Sociology and Anthropology
The Department of Sociology and Anthropology is hosted at the School of Humanities and Social Sciences at the South Eastern Kenya University(SEKU). In general sociology is about people and how they live together in social groups. The programs on offer grant to our students an opportunity to look in depth at issues in the contemporary world and to learn skills and tools of analysis vital to working in the developing and developed societies. For instance Bachelor of Arts in Social Work students develop research skills along with a general intellectual preparation, which stands them in good stead for graduate work in the disciplines and/or for a broad range of professions such as law, medicine, social work or journalism. In addition to the courses offered, the Department also offers seminars on special topics of both social and anthropological interests to current societal needs. Such issues are related to Poverty, Child Abuse; Technology and Society, amongst others. Skills to be Nurtured When our students graduate they are expected to be involved in a variety of settings, and with a variety of people. Engagement with the society requires the graduates to be emotionally mature, objective, and sensitive to people and their problems. In this regard, they should be self motivating agents of social change. They must be able to handle responsibility, work independently, and maintain good working relationships with clients and co-workers. Volunteer or paid jobs as a social work aide can help people test their interest in this field. A social worker should be able to: Understand the range of issues which make up the social welfare field. Direct intervention with individuals, families, groups or community services. Supervision, management and administrative skills. Legislative and policy analysis and development. Advocacy on behalf of individuals, families or the larger community VISION To be the lead department in the development of self motivated agents of social change.MISSIONTo train and impart necessary knowledge and skills that will contribute to the improvement and development of a sustainable human society.
The programs are set to:
(i) Provide practical working skills in Applied Sociology and Anthropology.
(ii) Provide professionals with a firm theoretical and practical background in Sociology and Anthropology.
(iii) Train highly specialized graduates to undertake postgraduate studies in social anthropological issues affecting society. Opportunities exist in all aspects of social development across the globe.
To achieve its objectives, the department is currently offering various Diploma and Degree programs namely:
1. BA. Social Work
2. Dip. in Social Work and Social Development
3.BA. Criminology and Criminal Justice
4. BA. Sociology5. Dip. in Criminology and Criminal Justice
6. MA in Rural Sociology and Community Organization
We view sociology and anthropology as disciplines engaged in a common intellectual task. Sociology and anthropology analyze individual experiences and connect them to larger social issues. The disciplines illustrate how matters that are often perceived as "personal problems" are actually consequences of social structures-including the gender, ethnic, or racial dynamics of society. The goal of sociology and anthropology is not merely to acquire knowledge about different societies, but also to critically engage with the complexities of social life.
What unites the two disciplines in South Eastern Kenya University(SEKU) is that Sociology and Anthropology provide an academic training which is rigorous, local and global in scope. Students develop research skills along with a general intellectual preparation, which stands them in good stead for graduate work in the disciplines and/or for a broad range of professions such as law, medicine, social work or journalism. Understanding the dynamics of society is also one of the first steps toward social change. Social work is a profession for those with a strong desire to help improve people's lives. Social workers assist people by helping them cope with and solve issues in their everyday lives, such as family and personal problems and dealing with relationships. Some social workers help clients who face a disability, life-threatening disease, social problem, such as inadequate housing, unemployment, or substance abuse. Social workers also assist families that have serious domestic conflicts, sometimes involving child or spousal abuse. Additionally, they may conduct research, advocate for improved services, or become involved in planning or policy development. Many social workers specialize in serving a particular population or working in a specific setting.

So Sick.
I honestly don't remember the last time I was this sick for this long in the winter. My stupid bedroom does a very bad job of keeping me warm, despite double blankets (OMG A DOUBLE BLANKET). Maybe I should invest in a snuggy. Though I feel like a semi-grown man home alone in a snuggy is on par with introducing someone to Chris Hansen and him saying "Oh, we've met" for level of creepiness.
Hey Ball is on a roll which is nice. Joe and I love hearing from the listeners so please post in the thread - especially as this weeks "Holiday Cocktail Extravaganza" episode is being prepared. Joe's eggnog sounds terrible. The only cocktail I know how to make is Dewar's Rocks. You put ice in with the Dewar's. My brother is going to make a ton of fancy drinks for a small family party this friday, I'll post some sweet pics and then post some pics of my dog because he is handsome.
I have been passing the sick time with $25 RUSH PLO. Yes. So amazing and so addictive. It's like a video game. So far I am 8 buyins below EV and thrilled. Seriously, if you're going to be 8 buyins below EV, is there a better game (obv smaller stakes but you know what I mean)? I think I played like 3k hands last night, my eyes glazed over and my head throbbing. I look and feel exactly the same now, which is win. PLO is a lot of fun.
Other than that, the holidays are actually pretty nutso for me. So get me some cocktail recipes!

One of the perks of this series is that it moves me outside of my own story and into the community. At this point, I have a few interviews tucked away for the coming weeks, while still stepping out regularly to connect with more women and cultivate the energy and rhythm of the project. It's always a treat!
This week, my camera found its way into a local business of Town. It's the favored shop for some, the secret stop for just as many. With sparkling glass bottles and seasonal décor, there is always something new to discover.
That particular afternoon, I asked Sherri (the manager and main face of the store) if she would be willing to participate. She enthusiastically agreed!
Sherri met every question with sparkle. She was so open and hospitable, it felt like our conversation was taking place around her kitchen table, not her till. The first, question {What beauty do you see in your life?} was answered with, "My niece, Bella. She's so happy, every morning. She sparks my day, every day. She is the beauty! Taking her to school is the highlight of my day."
The second question {How do you think others see you?} made me laugh! "Mean! Mean…? Maybe mean! I always aim to be pleasant and uplifting, but I think others might actually be scare of me. The thing is, I'm very black and white. I hate grey areas!" I responded that, standing in her space and digging into her time, I had yet to perceive her as mean. Actually, I was thoroughly enjoying my visit!
The third question {What is your role in your story} came with the benefit of background story outlining her years dedicated on the oilfield leading to her invitation to take over her boss's shop fifteen years ago. What a journey! As far as her role, now? "Caregiver. And…survivor. I take care of a lot of people. Friends…family. I am also available to help the underdog."
Finally, the last question {What is your byline? What is that catch phrase in the book-of-you?}. It took some time as she wrestled with the array of experiences, words, and thoughts within and towards her life. When I refused to state it for her she exclaimed, "Sherri—when the going gets tough, the tough get going."
I thoroughly enjoyed my brief visit over at the shop of bottles and stories. What a gift to connect with the person behind the barred door and to see the story in her store.

Kanye West Treats Kim & Family To 'Luxurious' Bahamas Vacay: He Wants It To Be 'Special'
The Wests are on a family getaway! Kanye West, Kim Kardashian and their kids quietly jetted of to the Bahamas for a vacation this week, once again slamming recent rumors of relationship trouble.
Kanye West, 39, is back to fawning over Kim Kardashian, 36, in the most lavish ways! After gifting her with dozens of roses for their third wedding anniversary on May 24, he followed up by treating his wife and kids, North, 3, and Saint West, 1, with a trip to the Bahamas, according to E! News. The rapper has been super busy working on new music and hasn't been seen with his family much lately, so it's great to hear that he's taking the time out to spend some quality time with the people who are really important! Plus, his birthday is coming up on June 8, so this is also reportedly an early celebration!
"They rented out a huge luxurious amazing villa," a source told the site. "They have had cases of Casamigos flown in and are drinking by their private pool. The kids all have their own play area and they all look like they're having a great time." Family friends also reportedly joined the Wests on the trip, which 'Ye worked hard to plan. "Kanye wanted to plan this vacation for their family, as it's been awhile since they've taken a vacation together as a whole," the insider added. "Kim really needed time to relax and wants to spend quality time with Kanye and he is going out of his way to make it special." The 39-year-old was not present for the last Kardashian family trip to Costa Rica earlier this year.
After Kim's robbery and Kanye's meltdown at the end of 2016, there were rumors that this power couple's marriage was in major trouble, and they haven't been seen out together as much as usual in the months since. However, after weeks apart recently, they surfaced together again during a family outing at Disneyland, and it looks like all is well once again!
HollywoodLifers, what do you think of Kimye taking a family vacation?

Cap doffs his hat
Captain America and Iron Man may not always see eye to eye but Chris Evans — who plays the Cap in the Marvel Cinematic Universe — is all praise for Tony Stark, a.k.a Marvel co-star Robert Downey Jr.
Evans says Downey Jr is "irreplaceable" as Iron Man. Evans plays the role of Steve Rogers/Captain America in the universe. Both the actors will reprise their respective roles in Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers 4, which is presumed to be their last film in the franchise.
Speaking with Comicbook.com, Evans said: "It's low-hanging fruit to say (Robert) Downey. He's such a wonderful guy and is so talented, so experience, and so supportive. He's always been in my corner and I've always felt supported by him. No matter what it feels like for me, I try to imagine what it feels like for him, because he really did start this. He really is so irreplaceable. Nobody can ever be Iron Man. It's not a role like Superman or Batman that can kind of find different incarnations, no one can touch it."

'Married At First Sight': Will Cody & Danielle 'Consummate' Their Marriage — Watch
Will tonight be the night for Cody and Danielle? He sure thinks so in this exclusive clip from this week's episode of 'Married At First Sight.'
Danielle Degroot, 30, and Cody Knapek, 26, have had their ups and downs, so this week, she decides to plan a romantic evening in. They sit by the fireplace, drink their favorite drinks and basically just bond. "Given how much Cody and I have gone through in the last few weeks, we needed this," Danielle says in the EXCLUSIVE clip of this week's Married At First Sight. "We're almost four weeks in now. I think this was really a good way to kick off the next four weeks, kind of set the tone, and start it off with something romantic for both of us."
Cody agrees — but for him, he thinks the romantic evening will lead to finally sleeping with his wife."I'm definitely hopeful we consummate the marriage tonight for real," he admits. "I feel that this is the right time. Tonight's gonna be the night. I'm really excited." In the clip below, she reveals she has one more surprise for him and leaves the room — of course, he's hoping for the best. He may or may not be let down.
Danielle returns to the room… with s'mores. "S'mores aren't really what I was hoping for," he admits, but quickly gets positive, saying he'll be patient because he wants it to really work in the long run. "I want something that's real. I want something thats committed. I want to have a wife. I want to go home and have someone to experience life with."
Married at First Sight airs every Thursday at 9PM on Lifetime. Do you think Danielle and Cody can make it work?

You should create multiple "dashboards" in your facility, signs or screens each customized with metrics and information for a particular audience. Senior management will be most interested in getting a view of how the entire facility is doing. An area supervisor will want to know how well he is doing keeping up with the work for that area, while an individual associate will want to know how he is doing today and with respect to his peers. In addition, in each area and for each associate, keep track of daily, weekly, and monthly trends, and have a way to summarize these results visually.
Displaying dashboard information – In order for dashboard information to be useful, metrics need to be easy to see and understand, and the information should be updated regularly. You can use whiteboards, chalkboards, hand held displays, computer screens, or electronic scoreboards. In the case of manual systems, updating takes time and effort, but the effort you make to keep information updated will send a clear message to your people. If you have a central database, software systems are available that can extract the data, and display key performance indicators automatically in real time. Finally, facility "electronic scoreboards" can be connected to these systems to make it easy for everyone to see what is happening.
Dashboard for senior DC management – At the highest level, DC management wants metrics telling them how the operation is doing, and letting them keep track of performance over time:
Labor cost per order
Labor cost per pick line
Shipping cost per order
Accuracy per order
Inventory accuracy
Area by area averages
Dashboard for functional work areas– For a particular work area (such as order picking, packing, or returns processing) metrics should be customized for the job being done. Here are some general examples of information that you can track:
Orders pending
Orders completed today (or shift)
Orders per hour
Lines per hour
Quality measure (accuracy, damage, etc)
Week or month to date summaries
Dashboard for individual associates – For individual associates, provide information on how they are doing compared to any established standards and compared to others. They should also get an idea of how they are doing over time:
Individual production rate (orders/lines)
Individual accuracy or quality measure
Daily, weekly, monthly trend
Performance compared to standard
Performance compared to peers

Jeff Badet would've been smiling if he could've caught his breath.
The Kentucky wide receiver had just laid out to catch a 36-yard touchdown in the end zone to tie the game against Eastern Kentucky.
But he happened to land on the exact same rib he'd bruised three games before that at South Carolina.
When he started to make the dive for the ball, he didn't even ponder the pain that was sure to come.
"I just want to be able to catch the ball and then I'll worry about what happens after the fact," said Badet, who didn't go back in the game at the time because of the bruised rib, which has since healed.
For the first time all season, those big catches didn't come for Badet and UK's wide receivers in the loss to Mississippi State.
In fact, for the first game this season, Kentucky's offense didn't throw multiple passes for more than 25-plus yards. It didn't even have one. The Cats' longest passing play of the night was for 22 yards to tight end C.J. Conrad.
The Bulldogs were respecting the big-play potential and playing two safeties back, which forced UK to go underneath for shorter passes and runs most of the game.
But that could change against Tennessee on Saturday at Commonwealth Stadium. The Volunteers have been the most vulnerable team in the league to the big play.
Tennessee has allowed 34 plays of 20 yards or more, most in the Southeastern Conference, 17 plays for 30 yards or more and 11 plays for 40 yards or more. They've given up five plays for 50 yards. All are league highs.
So guys like Badet — one of seven different Kentucky players to catch a pass for 25 yards or more this season — could get their chance at a big play again.
Those huge yardage plays, which include long runs for players like Boom Williams and Jojo Kemp, have been key for UK this season.
"Those big chunk plays really, really help," quarterback Patrick Towles said. "They take the air out of the defense and they give us confidence for sure."
Kentucky's 40 different plays of 20 yards or more this season are tied for second in the league and 33rd in the nation. Twenty seven of those 40 have been against SEC opponents.
Tennessee's coaches have noticed that the Cats' potential fire power.
And they're wary of it.
"Very, very, very explosive on offense," Coach Butch Jones said on Monday of the UK offense, which is averaging 385.8 yards a game against SEC opponents.
"They can score anytime they get the ball. They can score anywhere on the field. They do a great job distributing the football, running the football."
Jones, who recruited Towles when he was head coach at Cincinnati, knows what the quarterback is capable of, especially those big pass plays.
"He throws the deep ball very, very well," Jones said. "He has good velocity behind his ball and he makes the throw with awkward body positions even when the play breaks down. ... It's going to be a great challenge for us."
Badet, UK's wide out, said he knew that Kentucky's big-play potential had caught opposing defense's eyes when he heard a Mississippi State coach yell at his corner to back up when he saw him positioned on Badet in single coverage.
"He said, 'That's No. 13,'" Badet recalled. "Back up!"
And if Badet can't make the big play, he hopes it will free things up for players like Williams.
"It really helps our running game having those guys respect that we've got speed and we can beat man coverage, so it's backing them up and hopefully opening holes," Badet said.

Are you ready for Project Itoh: Harmony? The film drops tonight!
I'd be ready but sadly it isn't available anywhere near where I live.
So, as good as this movie was, I cannot recommend it for the faint of heart. If you get uncomfortable around the sight of blood, then this movie isn't for you. The film deals with mature, adult themes including over-medication, depression, and suicide. Only see this if you don't mind a darker film that touches on some real issues.
It was still a great science-fiction film with an awesome story, but it wasn't a fun adventure like Empire of Corpses. Just wanted to warn you so that you know going into it what to expect.

Looks like something I will enjoy, I'll check it out when it'll be available on here.
I Made the effort to go and see this. It was enjoyable, but not the best effort.
Yes, very mature themes. Usually quite hard to discuss in a meaningful way in todays PC world. They issues were often presented with the appropriate shock value. I suppose for the matters being presented, I thought the way the concept was conveyed was unique. Even a utopia has a price that many will have to pay.
There were several technologies, "enhancements" I thought interesting (Augs). Won't discuss more without a spoiler.
The only negatives I had were that I felt the actors were reaching most of the time. By that I mean the script seemed forced or they were reading from the script for the first time.
And what is with all the pink?! Everything is pink. Buildings, roads and on…Pink maybe a soothing color, but Wow.
I would recommend it, if only because of the limited number of animated works we get to see (that aren't controlled by Disney, etc). I want to thank the studio and funimation for their efforts to get this out to the public. It is too bad that anime isn't accepted as the artform it is by the general public.
I haven't seen the other works by this author, but am interested to check them out. Looks like two other works (Empire of Corpses and Genocidal Organ".
Project Itoh: Harmony is now available for preorder at the Funimation Shop. The film will be released on BD/DVD combo and DVD format on 9/6/2016.

In a future ruled by an unwavering dedication to good health, three high school girls led by the defiant Miach Mihie attempt suicide as the ultimate act of rebellion. Tuan Kirie survives, but can't shake the hatred she has for the perfect world she lives in. Years later, a simultaneous mass suicide rocks the globe and sends society into a state of shock. A small group stands up to take credit for the event, claiming they've hijacked the consciousness of every person on the planet. Everything about the terrorists' message sounds too familiar to Tuan. She suspects her old friend Miach might be involved, but how could that be when she'd supposedly killed herself years earlier? Desperate for answers, Tuan launches an investigation that takes her across the globe chasing the ghost of her old friend. But what is Miach's end game? Will she finally wake the world from its monotonous slumber? Or, end it all for good?

BRUSSELS — Brussels.--The Europeans have patched Humpty Dumpty (P together again. As of yesterday, the new European Union is the result.
The sound of celebration on this historic day is neither a cheer nor a Bronx cheer, but a sigh and a shrug. Euphoria is no more. Neither is the lust for the Margaret Thatcher-type battles. The important issues -- recession, 17 million structurally unemployed and the French threat to scupper international trade negotiations -- have been shoved off to the December summit of the European Community. So has rejigging procedures to facilitate decision making after the present 16 members expand to an unwieldy 20 when the ''Nordic and Alpine'' states join the club in 1995.
Nevertheless, the Germans in particular are eager to welcome the ''new impulses'' from the special summit they called last weekend to launch the European Union -- and to enjoy their victory in winning for Frankfurt the European Monetary Institute. The institute, besides shooting up real-estate prices in Frankfurt in the short term, will run European Community monetary cooperation in the medium term, beginning next January -- and in long-term planning, it will turn into a European Central Bank by the end of the century.

Birdsong Notebook
Hello, today I have a Notebook I have made to share with you. I have used the 'Birdsong' stamp set from Hobby Art for the birds and branches. The birds were stamped with 'Tuxedo Black' Memento ink onto white card, then coloured with my Copic markers. The branches however were stamped onto a piece of cardboard that I had painted with a coat of white Gesso. I then cut around the branches and painted them with watercolours.
The background papers are from my all time favourite paper pad, K & Company's 'Que Sera Sera'. The pink layer was originally red, so I covered it with some white Gesso to tone it down. I also added a watered down layer of Gesso to the top blue layer. I added a layer of white card, which I had painted with Gold Acrylic paint and made a couple of tears, before attaching all the layers together with some stitching.
I added some swirl, ink splatter and ring stamps and also some 'Shabby White' Embossing Enamel to the background. The brickwork was added using some homemade texture paste and a stencil from Dutch Doobadoo. I then added some colour to the bricks with watercolour paints.
The frame was made by sticking three frames together that I had cut from thin cardboard using some Crafts- Too dies. I then added some white Acrylic paint, Glitter Varnish and Gold gilding wax, until I achieved a porcelain type effect. The 'Notes' text was hand written.
The flowers were made using a Tonic punch and have been coloured with a Copic marker and added some gold Perfect Pearls for the centres. I finished by gently spritzing some Gold mica spray over the cover to add some more shimmer here and there.
I would like to enter this Notebook into the following challenge: Love To Scrap!- Anything Goes
I hope you like my Notebook and thanks for taking the time to visit.

Home > JSTAE > Vol. 2 (1981)
Article Title
In view of the foregoing arguments for art education in a social context one might ask: do art educators bear a responsibility for the shaping of a society? If one agrees that such a responsibility is within our jurisdiction, the next question must be: what is our potential sphere of influence and activity in this realm of responsibility and how do we get on with the job? Art educators must develop a commitment to socially responsive goals and take active roles to enable those goals to be realized.

#Slate Throwback: May 3, 1993; Teamwork Pays Off NYIT Professor teams up on book to combat children's cholesterol
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.
Email This Story
When is technical writing not considered technical writing?
According to Professor George Haber, NYIT's Coordinator of Technical Communications, "An instruction manual on how to change your spark plugs is technical to the everyday person, but not to an auto mechanic."
How would you categorize a new book addressing the need for healthy cholesterol levels in children? Would that be considered technical writing?
A health and nutrition book for parents may be scientific and technical in nature to its readers- parents of small children- but certainly not to other pediatricians. It depends on the audience.
Dr. Reuben Reiman, pediatrician, wanted to inform American parents about a possible danger to their children's health. This required explaining, in plain language, some pretty complex medical stuff.
Teamwork pays off- in this case, Reiman teamed up with NYIT's Professor John Hanc to get his message across. Hanc is an accomplished sports and fitness writer, writing for Newsday and other publications.
The result of their partnership? Next month, Plenum Press will publish Combatting Your Child's Cholesterol: A Pediatrician Shows You How by Dr. Reuben Reiman, M.D. and John Hanc.
Technical writing, in this case, can mean translating medical jargon into digestible information for parents of small children.
Conversely, Professor Haber says, "The writing of a repair manual for the EA6B Avionic system. That's hardcore technical writing. But today, technical writing can be defined in a loose sense as writing and speaking for a specialized audience."
Professor Haber described a former student who called to say he was hired for the position of his choice because he had a technical writing certificate from NYIT.
In the case of Dr. Reiman's message for parents, the particular "specialized audience" can be described as millions of overworked, busy, time-crunched adults with a strong concern for the health of their children.
Thanks to teamwork and clear writing, Reiman's specific audience will have valuable information in the form that they can understand.

Why Protesters Are Playing Ping-Pong in Your Parking Space
The Wall Street Journal covers PARK(ing) Day:
From Miami to Munich, hundreds of urban planners and environmental activists plan today to set up tiny "parks" in metered parking spaces -- installing everything from lawn chairs and palm trees to beauty salons and self-service lemonade stands.
It's an effort to raise awareness about the lack of open public space in urban areas, and to draw attention to the gas wasted and pollution created by drivers circling the block for low-cost curbside parking spaces. PARK(ing) Day organizers are bracing for angry merchants, frustrated drivers -- and in some cities, parking tickets.

HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif.— XR Brands' Wand Essentials Flutter Tip attachment has been recommended to Cosmo readers in its February "Fantasy Sex" Valentine's Day issue, touting the unique design for its cunnilingus-like sensation.
A design exclusive to the Wand Essentials line, the Flutter Tip is essentially a soft silicone "wing" that shivers and vibrates when the vibrator it's attached to is turned on.
"Popped atop the Wand, it simulates cunnilingus," the Cosmo editoral staff wrote. "'So soft, it felt like a fancy upgrade — even if my dachshund thought it was a new dog toy," one reader, Emily, contributed.
Created in-house by XR Brands General Manager Randy Alvstad and his design team, the Flutter Tip has been added to the Wand Essentials lineup, which includes 18 other attachment accessories made for especially for wand vibe enhancement.
"Wand massagers remain one of the top-five best-selling products in retail stores worldwide and XR Brands created the Flutter Tip to make it easy for women to enjoy an entirely new sensation without having to give up their favorite go-to toy," Alvstad said. "It's very exciting to see the mainstream media has caught on, and we're pleased to have been selected to be featured in this key issue."
The 18 pieces that comprise the Wand Essentials attachment collection fit over the signature bulbous head of any Wand Essentials brand, or other traditional, wand massager. According to the company, each attachment is made with an ergonomic shape and features body-safe materials compatible with water- and silicone-based lubricants.
"We knew we hit it out of the park with the Flutter Tip and are proud to be the only company to offer it," said Michael Merrill, XR Brands brand manager. "Attachment accessories are quickly becoming an integral part of the wand massager category and Wand Essentials is the only line that features dynamic designs packaged separately for cohesive display."
Wand Essentials uses feminine colors and soft accents to package its range, making it accesbile for lingerie boutiques and cross-marketing with non-adult outlets.

If you feel pressured by the storage or dealership you visit to get your automotive maintained or repaired, do not hesitate to go away. Reliable mechanics won't put any stress on their customers and will concentrate on providing high quality service. Follow your gut feeling and avoid the mechanics who don't seem reliable.
Make it possible for the auto repair store you go to gives a guaranty on their providers. There are plenty of repair retailers that will do a shoddy job, and there may be nothing you are able to do about that you probably have no guarantee. A warranty offers you the chance to get the issue mounted for no charge.
If you prime off your motor oil, keep away from spilling oil on your engine by wadding up a few paper towels across the oil receptacle on the crank-case. This will absorb drips and spills. Be sure you get rid of your empty oil container and the paper towels responsibly when completed adding oil. You do not need to purchase a brand new filter every time you go in to have an oil change. The auto restore individual might present you a worn filter subsequent to a brand new one and declare it's yours, but be agency and allow them to know that you do not need a brand new one proper now.
You do not always need to name a mechanic when your automobile is giving your problems. Many things are in a position to be fixed simply. You'll be able to take your probabilities by occurring the Internet to search out some data to see if you happen to can locate the problem. If the job is a straightforward one, you might save a bit of money if you happen to make repairs by yourself.
Do not ignore uncommon noises you hear when driving. Clunks, screeches, clicks and pings are normally caused by free elements. Take your car to a trustworthy mechanic and describe the noise as finest as you may. Your mechanic will most likely replace or alter the elements that have been inflicting the noise.

Are you asking yourself "Can I sell my house with delinquent taxes in Houston?" If so, this short blog post is what you need to read RIGHT NOW.
Can I Sell My House With Delinquent Taxes In Houston?
To answer your question, yes you can sell your house with delinquent taxes in Houston. The taxes have to be paid, but we have a solution for that!
Harris County charges property taxes to pay for services in your neighborhood such as emergency personnel and schools. If you are unable to pay your property taxes, you will be penalized by accruing tons of interest or even losing your home.
While Harris County tries as often as possible to NOT possess houses that accumulate back taxes, they also don't allow unpaid taxes to accumulate above a certain point. The higher the amount owed, the more difficult it becomes to collect (or on the other hand, to pay). As the taxes become higher, this is where most people get in trouble.
There are some companies that actually pay/loan the back taxes for home-owners in certain situations, but the interest rates are high. I wouldn't recommend using one of these companies since it will most likely keep you in debt, but you can consider this as a last resort.
Can I Sell My House With Delinquent Taxes In Houston – What If The Taxes Go Unpaid?
There are many potential consequences when property taxes aren't paid. First of all, the Harris County will begin adding interest to what you owe, and this is what you DO NOT want! The amount varies, but you might have penalties charged once each month. This will add to your balance, making it even harder to dig yourself out of the hole. Also, the collector may calculate interest daily which will drive up what you owe as well.
The tax collector may also file a property tax lien for the amount of taxes owed. The lien gives the tax collector interest in your property, and will prevent you from getting a mortgage or selling the property until you pay what is owed. Liens of any type on a property's title are known as "clouds" or encumbrances and are a headache you want to avoid. Once the tax collector has a property tax lien against your property, it can move forward with other collection methods, such as foreclosure. Unpaid tax liens may show up as unpaid debt on your credit history.
Foreclosure policies for property taxes vary by area. Some local governments put properties with delinquent taxes up for auction, with the successful bidder becoming the new owner of your property. Other local governments sell tax liens as certificates to private investors. A third party who buys your tax lien can foreclose on it using the foreclosure procedure found in the local laws. A third possibility is the local government taking ownership of your home and selling it later to recoup owed taxes. Unpaid tax liens may show up as unpaid debt on your credit history.
Are There Any Solutions?
Of course there are solutions! You don't have to lose your house once you fall behind on property taxes. If your inability to pay the property taxes is short term and temporary, you might consider contacting the tax office and negotiating a repayment plan. Keep in mind that the missed payments accumulate interest. If you live in an area with high property taxes, the amount owed can accumulate very quickly.
Another option that many will not want to here is to simply walk away from the property. Property taxes attach to the property, not the current owner. Remember that this option will likely reflect poorly on your credit for years to come. Liens are a matter of public record. Credit bureaus regularly check public records for things like liens and add them to peoples' credit histories where applicable.
A better option would be to sell your house to a house buying company like us over here at Reg Buys Houses before the amount owed puts the house at risk of foreclosure. The property taxes that you owe come out of the sale price for the house, meaning that no additional money will be taken out of your pocket. So if you owe $10,000 in property taxes and we buy your house for $50,000, you will leave with $40,000 CASH in your pocket. That sounds way better than losing your house and getting $0 for it. If you are falling behind on your taxes and are unable to repay your delinquent taxes, selling your house is the best option.
Reg Buys Houses works directly with homeowners that are behind on property taxes everyday to resolve liens and taxes at no cost. If you are falling behind on payments, call us for a no-obligation cash offer or simply to ask questions. We are here to help. 281-783-9195. So to answer your question "Can I sell my house with Delinquent Taxes In Houston?"…Yes you can!
