delinquent taxe leads Orange County Florida
16 Replies
Marquest Page Investor from Clermont, Floridaposted almost 3 years ago
I'm wanting to learn how to obtain leads on delinquent taxes prior to being scheduled for auction. I know it's easy to find them while they go into foreclosure but are there any means to obtain those that are soon to be sent for foreclosure but has yet to reach that stage of delinquency? If anyone has experience in this especially in the Greater Orlando area please share. Thanks in advance.

HI Marquest,
Your best option for properties delinquent in taxes in Orlando but have not been schedule for auction is to contact the county and *** for their list. It will be a huge one for Orange County. I am an investor in the Orlando area (which is Orange County) and I have bought tax deeds for several years now. I have bought similar lists from the tax collectors but be prepared, it's gonna be a big list. Devise a plan for sorting out what segment of the list you will be mailing.
Much Success

@Marquest Page You and I have worked together and know that I can tell you which investors to work with and who not to work with since I hear all the good from the bad from my other investors. @Sandra Edmond is the absolute best person to talk to about these types of deals. She is truly a professional when it comes to buying properties this way and I would recommend her to anyone. Definitely listen to any information she has.
Thank you,
Marquest Page Investor from Clermont, Floridareplied almost 3 years ago
Sandra Edmond thanks for the advice. I'll try to call today. I assume such a list has a cost. What's the average price for that. And thanks Ryan Kopczyk for the validation. You've just given her a new person that's probably going to bug her with questions.

I just called, they referred me to their website at https://www.octaxcol.com/tax-roll-download.aspx and advised me to sort through the links there. Wasn't much of a hand holding experience. Am I on the right track or did they just gave me the least amount of help possible?
Sandra Edmond Investor from Casselberry, Floridareplied almost 3 years ago
Thanks @Ryan Kopczyk Kopczyk for the very kind words. @Marquest Page
Yes, if they told you to go to the website, I'd start their first. I haven't ordered it in a while. Just make sure that is the list with the headings you will need like the owner's name, mailing, address, parcel #, type of deed they purchased the property with, etc. I think it should be at least 20 columns across or more. There should be a cost. I wouldn't not rely on the free list. The free list is not as helpful if you want to drill down to the most motivaed buyers.
I just went to the link you sent... .download the one that says Layout for Delinquent Taxes ;-)
Good Luck and thanks again!

Alex Olmo Investor from Orlando, Floridareplied 12 months ago
Great info!
@Sandra Edmond, I just found this old thread after I asked a similar question in another thread. And @Ryan Kopczyk thanks for the great words about Sanda. @Marquest Page thanks for doing the leg work 2 years ago in contacting the county. That link doesn't work anymore, is there a new one or should I call the County for an update? As an Orlando Floridian I find myself in one of the most competitive REI markets in the country and a bit intimidated, but looking for ways to differentiate myself and my mailing list. I can't imagine that things haven't changed since this initial post 2 years ago, but they also must be getting these calls constantly.
@Alex Olmo did you have any luck more recently? Perhaps we can revive this thread...I've been searching and searching and can't seem to figure out actual tax delinquency records or probate records (can see names but not addresses).
@Peter Amendola , does this page help?
@Rachel N. it does thank you! Do you use this?
I haven't used it, @Peter Amendola . I do spend a lot of time on the property appraiser website looking up how much people paid for properties, if they still live at that address, etc. But I have yet to translate any of that into any action. If you figure these out, let me know!
@Rachel N. will do. Looks like you're a new investor like me. I've got a mentor that I'm working with right now but he has more or less tasked me with figuring out a mailing list. Have you connected with anyone locally who is providing some guidance?
Headed to the CFRI meeting September 6? If so, let's chat.
@Peter Amendola , I have one rental and another one under contract, but I sort of stumbled into those two before discovering Bigger Pockets, so now I'm trying to figure out how to plot my next move with a more careful analysis. :) I haven't joined CFRI yet but it looks like there are a lot of benefits... even just the discounts on appliances! How does it seem so far?
Marquest Page Investor from Clermont, Floridareplied 11 months ago
@Peter Amendola I wish I could be of more assistance with that lead source. I do see that @Rachel N. has already given you a link to the list.. http://www.octaxcol.com/tax-roll-download-2/. Once there just click the last link to download the plethora of property tax history. It is a very large and overwhelming list. A task that I can honestly say was a bit much for me to try to take on as far as sifting through. I wouldn't be able to give much help on this one as I decided to try other avenues shortly after this post.
Garison Clemens Investor from Orlando, Floridareplied 11 months ago
I was able to go through the list. 162,000 lines to be exact haha.
@Peter Amendola Did you go to the CFRI meeting this evening? I was there.
Jack Bosch spoke today. Has anybody heard of him?
Garison Clemens Investor from Orlando, Floridareplied 11 months ago
Also, what does the difference between "sellable" on the tax roll and "unpaid"?
@Garison Clemens i was planning on going but hurricane prep prevented my partner and I from attending. Really wanted to, but at least I learned how to properly board up windows!
Good question, I think I had thought the same thing when last I looked. If you find the answer, let me know. Could probably call them.

Be sure and check out our official unofficial Barrett-Jackson guide by clicking the link below!
For all of Tuesday's listings, CLICK HERE
Being a foxbody fan, I'm very curious at what this one brings. Very low mile car and pretty much all original except for the supercharger upgrade, nothing wrong with that!
I've never been a big El Camino fan except for these later years, I know they aren't near as popular but I really like them! You hardly see any real nice ones for sell so I'm curious as to what this brings.
Bandit cars are bringing really good money. This one has a few minor modifications done to it that would need to be corrected. I could see it going either way, big money or possibly a steal for someone!
Whoever buys this I seriously hope they take it on the Hot Rod Power Tour! This thing is sweet!!
Lot #47 1934 Ford 3 Window Coupe
Hard to beat the timeless look of this coupe! Street rods are funny animals at auctions though, what some people love can be the direct opposite of what the bidder wants.
Lot # 170 1970 Dodge Challenger T/A
You know I've always got my eye close to these cars!
The next four cars on my watch list belong to a good friend of ours in Kentucky! Here's hoping he gets big money!

Understanding lenses
Okay real SLR newbie question...please help!
My new Canon 450 SLR came with a EF-S 18-55mm IS f/3.5-5.6 non USM Lens...
which means not a lot to me. Apart from I know it doesn't zoom in as close as my non-SLR did...that had 6x optical zoom. Can anyone help explain in nice simple language what the different numbers mean - i.e. the mm and the f stop etc.
I'd quite like to buy a new lens that zooms a bit closer but not sure what to get! I can't afford too much at the moment, but it seems there are a few like these at about a price I can afford...
Canon EF 75-300mm f/4.0-5.6 III Lens

Re: Understanding lenses
Not a Canon user, but I get the impression that the 75-300 is not generally thought to be a good lens with most people rating the 70-300 better. If you are going to keep the 18-55 I think the 70-300 would be your best bet.
The focal length of lenses is measured in millimeters. The lower the number, the wider the angle of view. 18mm is around the standard wide end. Really wide angle lenses will have a focal length of 10mm. At the telephoto end, the higher the number, the narrower the angle of view is, and the more magnification you will have. This is a far better measure of a lens than X time magnification.
Your 18-55 is a 3x zoom (18x3=54). The 70-300 would be just over 4x. The new Sigma 150-500 is a tad over 3x. This is called the zoom ratio. Many people think that 3x is about the most you can have without compromising quality. All of the lenses above have a zoom ration of between 3x and 4x, but will give vastly different results in terms of getting close to the subject. Zoom ratios are not a good way of seeing how close the subject will be as it depends on the starting point - the widest, lowest number.
To make things more complicated, you can't compare the numbers on your compact with those on your Canon (or any other) lenses. Sensor sizes on compact cameras are much smaller than those in dSLR's, so the focal lengths are different to get the same view.
Because the majority of consumer digital cameras have sensors that are smaller than 'full frame', they will produce a magnification of about 1.6x, so your 18-55 is actually giving you about 28mm - 88mm, often called 35mm equivalent as a full frame sensor is the same size as a 35mm negative. This is a way of equalising out the different cameras, compare everything as if it were 35mm.
The f stop is a measure of how much light the lens will allow through. The lower this number, the better (generally) the lens - and the more expensive. F2.8 is fast, where f6.3 would be considered slow.

Re: Understanding lenses
Also -
EF - can be used on cropped sensor cameras, like your 450, and full-fame sensors such as the 5D
EF-S - can only be used on crop sensor cameras
USM - Ultrasonic Motor, means very quiet focusing and good for shooting aninals and insects.
IS - Image Stabilisation, various cogs, gears and gyros in the lens will compensate for hand shake. Good for two or three stops meaning sharper pics.
L - Canon's Luxury range of lenses. Uses very high quality optics (glass) and therefore the most expensive.

Re: Understanding lenses
Without knowing what your non DSLR was I would guess that the zoom started from about 35 mm in full frame equivalent terms so a 6 times zoom would go up to an equivalent of 210 mm.

Re: Understanding lenses
Two lenses come to mind:
Canon EF 70-300mm f4-5.6 IS USM Lens (0345B006AA) - Warehouse Express
Sigma 70-300mm f4-5.6 APO Macro Super DG Lens - Canon Fit (508927) - Warehouse Express
The Canon has IS so is good for an extra 2 or 3 stops whilst the Sigma has a claimed macro capability, so will focus closer. I use both lenses (tho the Sigma I have is the much cheaper non-APO version) and have got some great shots from each

Re: Understanding lenses
Thanks everyone. I've decided to go with a Sigma 70-300mm f4-5.6 APO Macro DG which seems to be around the £125 mark.
Much as I'd love some of the others I'm still a beginner at this and for the sort of hobby photography I do I can't justify the cost of anything more at the moment... especially as I've already bought the camera this month and a few bits to go with it (bag, spare battery, memory card etc.)!
It finally came to a balance between that and the Canon 75-300mm f/4.0-5.6 III Lens which was slightly cheaper. All the reviews for that were 'fair' for the price it cost. However, I decided on the Sigma for the slightly extra focal length (assuming that is the right term!), and because of the macro capabilities which seemed quite good from the reviews I read.

Yeats was right about the center not holding.
Homosexual marriage is an absurdity and will be shown to have been a minor objective in the culture war. By that I mean that the actual number of homosexual weddings will prove to be only a small percentage of the eligible homosexual population. As someone else observed, homosexuals want weddings not marriage. Given the promiscuity endemic in the male homosexual population, the expense and "inconvenience" of divorce will also work to establish that what homosexuals want is political dominance for their sexual and countercultural agenda. They themselves speak of "monogamouthy." I think that's how they referred to it. Sorta-kinda marriage with all the form but none of the substance, other than cohabitation. This marriage rate and divorce rate aspect of all of this will speak volumes in short order.
This is hinted at in the photograph to which I linked. What those two young men wanted was not to be married to each other but rather to devise a way that would demonstrate their contempt for every last thing about the synagogue and the Jewish religion. Caligula 2.0.
The wonder is that the rabbi gave his permission for this lunatic, degrading stunt.

An Institute of Agricultural Management Event
The future goal posts for agriculture and food in the UK seem to be shifting almost by the day over the last 12 months. Not least, with the issues that are arising out of the decision to BREXIT, there is the challenge of labour, market access, R & D funding and future support to farming/food production. At the same time, customers and consumers still asking for farmers to keep a lid on food inflation.
The supply chain is still consolidating at all stages. The trend towards UK sourcing is still strong. All this makes for a dynamic situation and one in which we all need to as well informed on as we can. And be good, if not excellent, managers of our businesses.

Negative Nancy..Nah..
So I see that some people consider me negative after the last blog (well I guess just one person..seeing as though only one person comments on my posts). I was planning to do a series of blogs looking back at '05, and I thought about getting my bitchin' done first. First things first, this week has put it's foot up my ass. Starting a new client and having to manage 3 staff (that have only 5 months experience) has been a helluva challenge. The continuous questions, interruptions, and whining is enough to make 'Rick James slap a bitch.' Oh well, I assume that I was just as bad about 3 years ago when I started...gotta give the grunts some time.
Gotta give a shout out to Mr. Mcleod and his new website template..looks like one of those skins you can get for Musicmatch or other early music apps. I'm also glad that I can provide him reason to put up his new section detailing his ipod playlist...Mcleod..where's my referral bonus?
Ok onwards...the following are the highlights (yes..positive) events of 2005:
1. The wife is pregnant-We were planning on trying for a baby and didn't think it would happen so fast. Boy was I surprised after only about a month and a half of trying I was awoken to a trail of baby books, movies, and the EPT test strip. My wife still makes fun of my reaction, which I will save for another future blog.
2. My father's reaction to the news of the baby- As I've said previously, I announced the birth of the baby during the prayer at Thanksgiving. Both my parents and the wife's parents were in attendance. I said something at the end of prayer asking God to please bless the hair on my parents' heads considering they were becoming grandparents. My Dad was so flustered that he had to walk outside and get a fresh breath of air. He then proceeded to celebrate with the champagne..a good thing I must say. I still laugh that he tells his friends at work that my brother has become an uncle...but fails to want to admit that he will be a grandfather. Kinda crazy.
3. Europe and Canada trips-Though the majority of my trips abroad were work related, I still got to do some playing. I was sent to Amsterdam for work and then brought my wife over for the second week. We were able to visit Rome, Italy, for 3 days. One of the better experiences I've had. So much history and beauty..hopefully one day in the future I can visit again.
4. My promotion at work- I have to say that I definitely deserved it, but as I've said before, they could have actually paid me what I'm worth. I travel 80-90% of the time, have to be away from my wife, and don't get compensated for all the trouble. Wish my company gave a rat's ass about work life balance..the true test awaits with the birth of the baby. If they don't step up and respect my family life, I may be commenting about a new job this time next year.
5. My sister's pregnancy announcement- I guess my wife and I got the ball rolling with our announcement because at Christmas, my sister and her husband gave my parents a bottle of champagne with a label announcing the pregnancy. I am really looking forward to both my child and hers being able to grow up together. God sure has blessed this family this year.
Well, I think I've rambled enough. Hope this blog shows a sense of positive thought. Negative Nancy has left the busy.

I have been recieving mail recently to renew my NRA membership, encouraging (threatening?) me that the only way I will be able to own a firearm next year is to send them an immediate renewal. While I do agree that the NRA has done much to protect the right of the individual citizen to arm himself, I have been dissatisfied with their performance of late.
Two years ago, the NRA abandoned the Virginia Governor's race and allowed Timmy Kane to win. The polls were too far in Kane's favor for the NRA. It was a statistical dead heat, actually. Kane won by the tiniest of margins. I continue to receive urgent mailings from the NRA-PVF (Political Victory Fund - it should be "Poltroon Vacation" fund) asking for more cash for their latest misadventure.
One of these is their publishing of results from the 2006 "NRA Candidate Questionnaire." I was not aware of their underhanded treatment of Jim Webb until yesterday, when I read a letter from him explaining his position regarding the questionnaire. Apparently, it was an oversight on the NRA's part that he recieved a "?" grade, while Allen scored an "A" in their recent Vote Freedom First! mailing. Webb complained to the NRA, who quietly issued him an "A" grade on their web site.
Why does the NRA do these things? What motivates any political animal? Money and Power. The inner reasoning of the NRA is anyone's guess, but they have become rather large and powerful, especially after the passage of the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act , in which they played a major role.
Regardless, I will not vote for Webb. I disagree with his position on virtually every other issue. And Allen will win despite the "macaca" comment, the noose hanging from a plant in his office, and his position to "arrest and prosecute seniors who purchase cheaper drugs from Canada"(claim on Webb's web site).
Since "all politics is local," I will not be renewing my NRA mmbership. Instead, I have joined the Virginia Shooting Sports Association .
UPDATE: So I was wrong. Melonhead Webb won. By masquerading as a conservative.

Our adoption story is full of trials, tribulation, triumphs and tears. It's a story of two people with no idea of what the future held taking on two people whose future had previously held nothing but heartache; and then watching, waiting, and working to see how God redefines the future for them all. More personally, our adoption story is an incredible tale of God's redeeming power and love. He has stretched us further than any human could be stretched without relying on His strength, and has demanded change when we've been content to simply be. Yet because of this, we've seen God work miracles in our own home.
Our adoption story, in its entirety, also takes the space of three or four chapters. Entirely too long for a blog. Here is the abbreviated version:
We didn't adopt because we couldn't have children biologically or because we didn't want to have children biologically; we adopted because God told us to. Very obviously. We were called to be missionaries in our own home. We began the process of adopting our two children, we'll call them Mr. J and Miss M, when our first biological child, Miss J, was only a few weeks old. They came to live with us in a pre-adopt situation when Miss J was 11 months old, and Mr. J and Miss M were 7 and 4 years old, respectively. Our adoption was finalized in December of 2007, when I was seven months pregnant with our second biological child, Mr. C, and God has since blessed us with a fifth baby, another son, baby K. We are a big and lively family!
Mr. J and Miss M had been removed from an unstable home with drug addicted parents. They had been exposed to drug use, neglect, hunger, pornography, horror movies, and had been taught to steal. They had lived in more than a dozen places in the year prior to being removed from the home, including a tent. The kids were crawling with lice. I believe their birth parents loved them in thought and feeling, but because they were addicted to drugs, were in and out of jail, and had not been raised well themselves, they were completely unable to love them in action.
We knew going into the adoption that this would be a difficult venture. The kids had been foster children in my sister and brother-in-law's home, and we were aware that Miss M, in particular, had major behavior problems. She spent significant time each day throwing tantrums, and did not seem to care about anything besides getting her own way. I figured she was just strong-willed and naively thought that a permanent, stable, structured home was all she needed, along with a mother's love. Turns out, there's a lot more wrong with Miss M than being strong-willed or stubborn. She has Reactive Attachment Disorder, and so does her brother. And it turned out that my husband and I had no idea what we were getting into.
We've since decided that it was God's plan to keep us in the dark about what the future held, because if we had known, we probably wouldn't have committed to it. For the first two years or so, all Miss M did (for us, not other people) was scream. For two or three hours per tantrum, and sometimes two or three tantrums in a day, she spewed hatred and anger into our home. She kicked, she spat, she bit, she pulled hair, she broke our things. She refused to obey even the simplest of requests. She monopolized our family, our conversation, our marriage, and at times our relationship with the Lord. I honestly don't think anyone on earth would have signed up knowingly to be her parents.
And yet, almost six years since she first darkened our door, most days, I can finally say that I'm glad we did. She's still an incredibly difficult child, she still takes up more energy than most of our other kids combined, but we're beginning to see the little girl that has been hidden inside the monster. I'm so thankful that God has given Miss M this chance to become what He created her to be, and deep down, I'm even okay with the constant tribulation He's allowed in our lives...believing that someday we will see the fruits of our labor.
Now six years after the kids came to live with us, our current life-altering challenge is Mr. J, who has become increasingly violent as he's reaching puberty. He's spent many years pretending to be perfect and compliant (with huge lapses into rage every six months or so), but can no longer hold in the anger for even a few days. Recently, Mr. J spent nearly a month hospitalized in a mental institution, has had numerous run-ins with the police resulting in trips to the emergency room by ambulance, and finally, he was arrested. He's currently housed in Juvenile Detention awaiting adjudication and a placement for residential treatment, as he's threatening to kill us. We're waiting to see how God is going to work in this situation.
So that's our story in a nutshell, although it's ongoing, ever-changing. We still don't know what the future holds. Happiness? Surely. Heartache? Undoubtedly. But we do know that God will show up wherever we are. I don't expect it will be easy. But then again, the things worth doing rarely are.

The Heroic Filibuster in Missouri That the Media Missed
Something historic has been happening in Missouri, and you may not even know about it. In a heroic filibuster effort that ended at the 39th hour Wednesday, Republicans in that state passed a controversial measure to add more religious protections to people who are against gay marriage, NBC News reports.
Amid the noise of Super Tuesday 2, a group of seven Democratic senators were engaged in a marathon filibuster in the Missouri Senate. Republicans in the state were trying to pass a constitutional amendment that would offer protections to religious people and organizations that are against gay marriage in that state, according to Buzzfeed. Democratic senators thought that this amendment would "enshrine discrimination into the state constitution."
In the moments after the Republicans in the state Senate forced a vote, several Democrats began to respond:
What are these Democratic senators doing and why?
Senators Jamilah Nasheed, Jill Schupp, Scott Sifton, Jason Holsman, Maria Chappelle-Nadal, Joseph Keaveny, and Kiki Curls were speaking non-stop since 4 p.m. local time on March 7 to obstruct Senate Joint Resolution No. 39, a "religious freedom" resolution filed by State Senator Bob Onder (R). The amendment to the Missouri constitution apparently sought to protect religious organizations, individuals, and clergy who oppose marriage equality from any penalty for discriminating against LGBTQ couples, so long as they have a religious opposition to same-sex marriage. Among the actions that the bill would protect is the ability to "decline [...] to provide goods or services [...] for such a marriage or ceremony," presumably as bakeries that have refused service to gay couples.
Trading off in three-hour shifts, the seven senators held off the Republican-backed bill for hours, which needed to be approved by a majority in both chambers of the state legislature before going to voters. While the senators don't have to continually speak directly to the anti-LGBTQ resolution to keep filibustering, they must remain standing and talking if they wish to keep the legislature from proceeding. From reading lists of 1,500 Missouri residents and businesses that oppose the legislation to discussing the merits of different protein bars, the senators show no signs of stopping yet.
The senators have gotten an outpouring of support.
From former Texas Sen. Wendy Davis (D), who successfully filibustered an anti-choice bill in her state, to agricultural company Monsanto whose headquarters are in St. Louis, the seven senators have received words of encouragement from some surprising places, including both Democratic presidential candidates:
After the bill was passed, the company had this to say:
They have also received vocal support from Kansas City Mayor Sly James, who has been tweeting his approval of the filibuster in earnest while engaging with opponents directly from his official Twitter account:
But most important are the words of every day Missouri residents — and one teen from outside of the state — who expressed what the filibuster means to them on Twitter:
The record for longest filibuster is held by Missouri's state legislature, which once went for 30 hours in 1991. After 39 hours, these lawmakers smashed it.

I've managed in the past the news updates of my wedding website, my kids' individual blogs, and facebook. But now I've decided it's time for my own train of thought and daily adventures to be written down for the pure enjoyment of the public.
This past week we have been in quarantine. Tristan had a high fever and now has broken out with a rash all over. Poor little guy. They say its just a viral infection (that he probably got from sunday school) that has to run its course, but it is contagious, so we are praying little Kira doesn't get it! He's been up all night the past 2 nights, but luckily Kira just slept right through it all ...
We've managed to find fun things to do in the house, like build forts with couch cushions, create a band with pots and pans and kitchen utensils, make coffee together, do laundry together, and watch The Wiggles over and over and over and over.
This morning we took a walk to the lake to feed the ducks and the birds and both Tristan and Kira loved it. Tristan also pointed out every drain, sprinkler, and landmark post as we walked around the lake. It's so cute seeing the things that fascinate him. As I am writing this, Tristan is trying to figure out how to take the doors off of his play kitchen and put them back on. And Kira is supposed to be napping, but I hear her singing and "baa-ing" like a sheep in her crib.
That's it for now, time to play. What a wonderful job I have!

The Jefferson Myth: On the topic of AbortionPosted: March 12, 2012 Filed under: Conspiracy, Republicans, Women's Rights | Tags: Abortion, Conspiracy, Propoganda, Republicans, Thomas Jefferson, Women's Rights 5 Comments
This has been inspired by Conservative blogger Tom Quiner's post: Obama's War on Jefferson.
I've been hearing and reading recently about Republican rhetoric that is depicting Thomas Jefferson as against abortion, or using his name to argue against it, along with the argument it's granted by God. Why? His statement in the United States Declaration of Independence:
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
(Emphases are mine.)
Now, let's first visit the reason this doesn't hold much water by visiting our Founding Father's religious beliefs, as it seems often misunderstood or otherwise ignored (if mentioned at all). I think we should touch on these, and clarify them.
The Case Against Ron Paul Pt. 1Posted: March 9, 2012 Filed under: Conspiracy, Healthcare, Republicans, Ron Paul | Tags: Healthcare, Individual Mandate, ObamaCare, PPACA, Republicans, Ron Paul 1 Comment
As there is a lot to cover about Congressman Ron Paul, this article will be split into several parts. Introducing Part 1, Introduction and the first issue.
Attention voters!
According to many Independent voters and much of the Libertarian party, Ron Paul is a god-send for the GOP ticket. Why, do you ask? Well, look at the 2012 Presidential Voter Guide Peter Richter made:
Strangely enough, if you follow the link to where he originally uploaded it to Facebook, you have to friend him to comment. How convenient! I suppose I can't have everything go my way.
So, here's my issue… I don't see the facts positioned in a truthful manner. Not to mention how each person above is depicted by their picture. So, I.. I need to get my petty complaints out of the way, before I can get to the facts. Bear with me.

Al Jazeera's Jennifer Glasse, reporting from Kabul, said there were no NATO casualties in the bombing, as the military personnel were travelling in heavily armoured vehicles. Thirty-five civilians were injured, according to the chief of police.
"Even though the target was military, as so often is the case here, civilians bore the brunt," our correspondent said, referring to UN figures showing that civilian deaths and injuries in the first six months of 2014 were 24 percent higher than over the same period last year.
NATO's International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) said in a statement: "We can confirm that an ISAF convoy was attacked by enemy forces in Kabul today.
"There are no reports of ISAF fatalities at this time. We sincerely regret the loss of the lives and injury to innocent Afghan civilians caused by the insurgents in this tragic incident."
The Taliban has pledged to step up attacks against Afghan security forces in a bid to undermine the Western-backed government as foreign combat troops prepare to withdraw by the end of the year.
US-led foreign troop numbers in Afghanistan have declined from a peak of 150,000 in 2012 to just 44,300 now.

In winter I get up at night
And dress by yellow candle-light.
In summer quite the other way
I have to go to bed by day.
- Robert Louis Stevenson
Summer turns out to be so busy with all kinds of social events that I have no idea where from to take the time for working. Next weekend has been planned for me by other people, so has the weekend after….then one weekend free and then a long weekend in Berlin and the RW concert.
This week alone there has been dinner with friends (S, it was so good to see you and Jazz again!), watching football with friends and a short but surprisingly fulfilling trip to another little Estonian island called Prangli.
It's a small island, only 6 km2 in area and around 120 people living on it, but it has forest and lovely beaches, local school, shop and bar. When we arrived at the harbor, I was just photographing some really old and tired-looking boats there. Only moments later it turned out we were taking one of them to cross the 18 km of water for reaching the island. Altogether we spent only one day on Prangli – from Tuesday afternoon to Wednesday afternoon, but it felt like at least a long weekend. Most of the time our activities were "chill and grill" and some drinking of some totally legal things and some smoking of some almost legal things. The company was good and the hangover-day jokes by Mr. Rassu kept us all perfectly entertained. I made a mental note about the island for the next event with either my colleagues or my friends. Lovely!

Our movers were on time! It was a bit overwhelming to see all of our stuff trickling in the door. We have made a little progress but we have a LOT more to do. I have almost finished the kitchen and Evie's room. Carl got everything from the condo. We do not have sheets on our bed yet but that's the next thing on my list.
Evie thinks all of the boxes are really fun! She crawls on top of them and checks out her new surroundings. We had a little scare with Evie today. She was eating lunch and she suddenly starting projectile vomiting. It went on for several minutes and we were trying to figure out what to do. She had swallowed a little piece of plastic. Thank goodness she is okay!
Evie went right to sleep tonight. She did not nap well this afternoon. I think that I waited too long to put her down. Her crib was not ready so it was pretty late for her nap.
Carl has called the cable company multiple times. It's been an ordeal to get cable set up here because the sellers had not transferred their service yet. Finally, we are set to have the cable company come out on Monday afternoon. Maybe we will get more unpacking done without cable!
Summer Fun!

"The Interlopers" is a fantastic short story written by Saki. It's a must-read for 9th Graders. You can read and listen to the free audio - text here.
"The Interlopers" is a story of two men, Georg Znaeym and Ulrich von Gradwitz, whose families have fought over a small strip of forest in the eastern Carpathian Mountains for generations. It's kind of like a Romanian Hatfield's and McCoy's story. Ulrich's family legally owns the land, but Georg – feeling it rightfully belongs to him – hunts there anyway. One winter night, Ulrich catches Georg hunting in his forest. The two would never shoot without warning and soil their family's honor, so they hesitate to acknowledge one another. As an "act of God," a tree branch suddenly falls on them, trapping the men next to each other under a log. Gradually, they realize the futility of their quarrel and become friends to end the family feud. They call out for their men's assistance, and after a brief period, Ulrich makes out eight to ten figures approaching over a hill. The story ends when Ulrich realizes who the "interlopers" are.

Here's Your Chance To Look Directly Into The Eyes Of A Stone Cold Pervert
Man Accused by Bradford County Sheriff's Office of Filming Naked Tanning Customers in Starke Tanning Salon
FIRST COAST NEWS - Police said possibly hundreds of women may have been victimized by a Starke man arrested for filming unknowing customers who came to tan naked in his tanning salon. Doyce Dean Griffis, 47, of Starke, is being held at the Bradford County Jail without bond on charges of making, printing or publishing computer pornography and voyeurism. Two women notified the Bradford County Sheriff's Office Tuesday about a private sun tanning business videotaping customers without their knowledge, the agency said in a statement. According to BCSO, some of the victims may have been as young as 13, and that it likely will take months to complete the probe. The woman who noticed the camera and reported Griffis said she "felt molested." Griffis said Wednesday from jail that he felt he had done nothing wrong because he kept the tapes private. He also said since the women were "beautiful," he did not know why they would mind being taped. The tanning business, operating since 2000, was in a barn at the suspect's home in the 2200 block of Southeast 128th Street in Starke. According to a statement from BCSO, the suspect confessed to filming customers who undressed before tanning. A two-way mirror, laptop computer, four containers of VHS tapes, 30 8 mm cassettes, 41 DVDs and two memory cards were seized as evidence. Detectives are trying to determine who the people are in the tapes.
Everybody's got an excuse. I'm so sick of every fucking person alive makin' excuses for everything they do that I'm gonna puke for a day and a half. Just once I'd like to see some dude like this sit there and say "Hey, I wanted to see naked chicks. I'm kinda ugly so I don't get many chances. The tanning bed was a chance for me to see shit that I would have no shot at otherwise. Sucks that I got caught, but I had a few good years." Wouldn't that be refreshing? It might even restore your faith in humanity. Problem is, it ain't happening any time soon. Fuck off, Doyce. Hope you enjoy gettin' your salad tossed.

Canon Underwater Camera Cases
Options for Taking Your Canon Camera in the Water
If you're looking for a underwater camera case for your Canon camera, there are a variety of options to help you take great photos without worrying about your camera. For those who simply want to keep their camera dry in or around shallow water, you may want to choose an inexpensive waterproof bag. For more advanced users and those who need the ability to take their camera to greater depths while scuba diving, you can get cases made by Canon or other third parties. Which one works for you and your budget will depend on a variety of factors. Take a look below to see which option is right for you.
(Image of Canon underwater camera for for Canon PowerShot G11 courtesy of Amazon.com
The Most Affordable Option - Waterproof Camera Bags - Starting at less than $20 for a compact camera
If you're looking for the most affordable way to get your camera in or around water, look no further than a waterproof bag by DicaPac. They make reliable, flexible underwater bags in a variety of sizes and models to fit just about any camera, from small compact models to expensive DSLRs. Prices start at less than $20 for a small bag (like the one shown below) to more than $50 for larger cases that can hold larger compacts or DSLRs. To ensure a watertight seal, be sure to get the bag that matches your camera's size and then practice using it at home in a sink or tub to make sure you understand how to seal it properly.
These underwater camera cases are fine for snorkeling, rafting, kayaking, swimming, etc., but aren't suitable for most scuba diving, as the waterproof rating is typically for depths of 10m or less.
Canon Underwater Camera Cases for Compact Models - Made by Canon for Snorkeling or Diving
Canon manufacturers waterproof housings for many of its compact cameras. These are more expensive than the waterproof bags shown above, but they're designed specifically for your model to go underwater to much greater depths than the inexpensive bags can handle.
These cases typically cost a couple hundred dollars (sometimes as much as the camera itself), but should last you for years of snorkeling or diving.
Here's an example of a Canon underwater housing. This model is for the PowerShot G11 or G12.
Third-Party Underwater Camera Cases - For professional photographers
If you're serious about underwater photography and want to take your high-end DSLR scuba diving, you're going to need a reliable housing, and these don't come cheap. Ikelite is one well-known brand that makes popular underwater cases for specific cameras. These can easily cost as much as - are often more than - your camera body. But for professional photographers, they offer the quality, reliability and functionality that you'll need at deeper depths.
This Ikelite housing is made for the Canon EOS 7D.
Or You Could Forget the Case and Get a Waterproof Camera - Canon PowerShot D20 is waterproof to 33 feet
If you worry about taking your regular camera underwater in a waterproof housing, you may want to opt for a waterproof camera instead. Canon's PowerShot D20 is just one of dozens of rugged cameras now on the market. It's waterproof, shockproof, freezeproof and dustproof, and can take 12.1 MP still photos or shoot HD video. The camera body itself is sealed, so there's no need for a separate case, making this camera extremely easy to use underwater.
Canon Underwater Camera Cases on eBay - A great place to find bargains
eBay is a great place to buy just about everything, including underwater camera housings for Canon and other brands. You can find both new and used products here, and you'll often be able to find items that are no longer being manufactured. (For instance, eBay is a great place to find Nikonos underwater cameras by Nikon.) When purchasing, just be sure to select a seller with good ratings.

Today Google showed why everyone is human and can just be so totally stupid at times. This is the 30th anniversary of Pacman so they decided to celebrate with a noisy Pacman game on their search engine page. A lot of people thought it was a virus and Google didn't place any disclaimers on the site to warn people. In my opinion that is completely and utterly stupid for a company of that size.
The education in this technology? To err is human and assumption is the mother of all screw ups. No one is immune to it, Google has proven that even it takes missteps. Don't blindly trust someone because they do a lot of things right.

Winner of the Hoenir Agon is…
Sarenth Odinsson. Congratulations, Sarenth. I'll be emailing you shortly regarding your prizes.
Everyone who submitted, if you haven't already, please let me know which prayer card you want. Just email me privately.
Thank you everyone who participated!
Submission to the Hoenir Agon
For Hoenir
by Sarenth Odinsson
You Who gave us oðr
Swift-legged, Long-legged
Mud King, Marsh King
You Who gave us Will
Hail to You!
Whose friend and aide is Mimir
Who is confidante and conspirator to Odin
Who brings action in Vé's wake
Hail to You!
Whose mouth is full to bursting
Whose hands held Ymir down
Who helped Odin and Vé craft many Worlds
Hail to You!
Whose silence is full of wisdom
Whose countenance is fearsome
Whose counsel is prudent
Hail to You!
Who knows the many ways forward
Who even the Gods seek in counsel
Whose divination sees the Worlds set aright
Hail to You, Hoenir!
Submission to the Hoenir Agon
For Hoenir
by C. Greene
Hoenir, King of the lands of plenty,
what wisdom have You found amongst the marsh birds and the eels?
God Who granted will to Ask and Embla,
terrible will born of a slayer of Ymir,
Haunter of the lands most filled with Ymir's blood,
what do You seek there?
Are the bog lamps the lingering flicker of Ymir's synapses,
does wyrd stretch out its threads before You in the fog,
or are the cleansing places of the world whispering their secrets?
With whom would You share Your heron-wit?
Will the descendants of the driftwood born be worthy of such a gift,
or will we burn brightly and fade like the will o wisps of Your holy places?
Silence in the bulrushes may greet the querent, but that may be an answer in itself. May we be worthy Hoenir, may we learn from Your primal acts, and in Your silence may you not be forgotten.
Submission to the Hoenir Agon
To Hoenir the Long-Lived
by P.S.V.L.
It was sense and wit You gave
when Óðinn and Loðurr made humans—
the High One and Vé, Whom men call Loki,
came together in You, Víli, to form minds.
It was sense and wit You showed
when in Vanaheim's hostage-ship with Mimir
and You kept holy silence therein—
only the best advice fell on Your ears.
It was sense and wit You had
When Óðinn was in exile and with Vé
You stood in His stead over the Æsir—
it brought you to bed with Frigg.
And, it will be sense and wit that are needed
when You stand after Ragnarök
casting blood-wands for Viðarr and Vali,
Magni and Móði, and Baldr—wise Hoenir, hail!
Third submission to Hoenir Agon
For Hoenir
by C. King
Brooding hostage, silent God
Muddy throne, Your hall of reeds-
Sway and twist like feathers falling
Mossy hued, those slender spears-
Chime and shudder from Your spirit.
Wordless, primal prayers sung
That ripple and tug the vault of heaven.
There amidst the marshy bank,
With Ymir's blood smeared as mark-
The dappled Crane nests and watches
Before the countenance of Man becomes it.
You that roused urge and longing,
With rune-song sang up and awakened.
Wise He who saw the first and sees the last, what will be the after?
Gray Song, may the riverbanks ever be Your treasure.
Demure Council, may wisdom ever consider all avenues.
Knowing Maker-strengthen our people against those coarse to the Holy Powers.
Long Foot, ward us against the profane and arrogant. Where our clumsy feet trail Midgard-strengthen our resolve to be worthy of the Gods that shine brightly.
Clever God, of mist and wing-
That briny fog your cloak and down.
Whom appears at will to mortals few-
And whispers wisely second thoughts.
I thank You, Vanir Captive.
I praise You, Vili of Odr
May Your name ever live on the tongues of Ash and Embla's progeny.
Second Submission to Hoenir's Agon
For Hoenir
by Dr. E. Kelly
(the birds pictured are sandhill cranes)
First Submission to Hoenir's Agon
In Praise of the Marsh King
By Victoria Morelli
Swift You come, Helper to All,
Gods and men alike.
Silent yet sharp,
Sharp as a knife's keen edge,
from You we gained the gifts
of wit and wonder.
High and Holy, the Marsh King walks,
strong of will and wisdom.
Storks and swans, cranes and ducks,
Your sacred messengers all,
and they herald the numen of Your passing.
Where You step, there is enchantment.
Where you wander, there is power.
The eldritch things that live in the mist
whisper fairy tales to hapless mortals
of red gold and blue fire and the pale God
weaving magic in the misty fen.
The strength of Your mind,
helped carve worlds into being.
The implacability of Your will,
helped drive the spear deep
into old Ymir's guts.
Liminal places, bogs and marshland,
foggy groves, and dank swamps
are Your favored doorways,
and what comes out of them is hallowed.
You I praise, and I seek Your blessing,
Who ended a war with His uncle's head
because He knew:
some sacred places are hungry.
Hail Hoenir.
Hail Vili.
Hail to the Marsh King.
Agon Updates including the Winner(s) of the Asklepios Agon
Well, this is surprising. I did the divination this morning to select a winner for the Asklepios Agon and apparently He really liked everything. LOL. Instead of choosing one winner, He indicated that He was equally pleased with them all, so the prizes should be given to each contributor. This is a first.
So, each contributor will receive a copy of my Asklepios devotional, one of His cards, and I will donate $25 to the medical charity of your choice. Please contact me privately at krasskova at gmail.com to let me know what that is.
The August Agon is for Hoenir. He is one of the three primal creator Gods, along with Odin and Lodhur. When humanity was created, it was Hoenir that gave us sense, our firing synapses, our functioning minds. The Agon will run until 9pm EST on August 31 and the winner will receive a copy of the prayer card of his/her choice, a copy of "Devotional Polytheism," and I will donate $25 to the educational charity of the winner's choice.
I haven't seen too much for Hoenir of late so please let's create beautiful prayers and art and poems for HIm this month. 🙂

Continued from yesterday....
With our lunches in hand we headed down to our next stop along the promenade and were joined by Kay, Amy, and Jane. Our location was the North Cove Yacht Basin. Who knew there was a NYC Sailing School. We found it. There were lots of sailboats and yachts, but I wanted to sketch the view with the red Colgate sign under the clock.
Everyone was very busy sketching.
Around 3:30 we did a throw down of our sketchbooks. I always love seeing what everyone has created during the day.
Here is our group...left to right we have Mark, Jane, Jim, Amy, and myself.
Mike, Jane, and I decided to continue our day and walked down to the Robert F. Wagner, Jr Park. It had some interesting views. You could see the Statue of Liberty from where we were.
Instead of sketching a water view I concentrated on the buildings on our side of the river.
Around 5 Jane led us to the train station so we could head back to Penn Station and home.
It was a fun and productive day.
