After a long couple weeks on the road I set to drinking the exhaustion and loneliness from my bones. But each sip only summoned up old memories from years ago to rain down on me like dreams in a fever. I remembered when we were six and our moms took us to the zoo together. You were always enamored with the flamingos and the graceful way they could stand on one leg for hours on end. I always thought the tigers were cooler. Though I told you that if I were a tiger I would protect the flamingos from harm, you stuck your chin up and informed me flamingos needed no protecting: they can fly!
I remembered all those summer nights, running through the park. Or first year of high school with our class trip to the aquarium. We snuck off from the rest of the group to go make faces at the manta rays and kiss by the electric eels. We got back to the group before lunch had started and Mr. Elgrim never noticed we were gone.
I remember two years later when your baby brother died. You were torn to shreds. I took you to Sebastian's party three weeks later to try to take your mind off things. It was a good party, I think I might have seen you smile near the start. I lost you for awhile only to find you hiding, curled up in the bathtub, drinking gin straight from the bottle. I sat beside you in the tub. I remember kissing you on the cheek, taking in the sweet sickly scent of pine needles from your breath. I took the bottle from your shaking hand and patted your back. You cried, "Its not fair!"
"I know", I murmured back
"He was only seven! Why him? Why not me?", You sobbed, "He was so innocent. Look at me, I'm hopeless. It should have been me. It should have been me. Not him...Not Frankie."
"Shhh..You're not hopeless at all, you're right, it wasn't fair though."
I remember how we drifted apart over the following year before graduation. I ended up going away to school, you stayed. You thought that way your parents would have some stability and a chance to put yourself back together. We said we'd visit each other, you'd come see me at school and that I'd come home every chance. And we did, for awhile, but the distance took its toll. I met new people and you changed bit by bit. You kept saying how you wanted to travel out West to see everything. I wonder if you actually ever did.
I'm sitting in the kitchen, drinking gin straight from the bottle with these old memories swirling in my head like wild djinn. In my stupor I realize I still have your number, the new mobile you got a few years ago. I think about calling you and hearing your voice...and then the phone's already ringing, held up against my ear. I hope you don't answer in time, hope for the grace of you answering machine. What the hell would I say if you were to ---
"Steven? Is it really you? How are you? Its been too long!"
"Cassie! I wasn't sure if this was still your number. I'm good, my life's not too interesting these days. Honestly its not. Mostly I spend every other week doing sales-calls across the country. If I have to drive through Delaware one more time I sear I'll drive straight into a brick wall. Other than that I am good, peachy even. How're you doing these days? Did you ever make it out of our hometown?"
"Well at least you're traveling. I bet you meet some interesting people too. Two years after you left for school, when we stopped talking as much, I decided I had grieved long enough and that it was time to go or I'd never be able to move on. I packed a bag, threw it over my shoulder and took the first bus out of town."
"Where did you go?"
"Everywhere. I took buses, hitch-hiked and walked. I made it across the country and back about three or four times..erm no definitely three. I saw Phoenix, New Orleans, Austin, Denver, San Francisco - oh man, Frisco was the best! and farther down the coast I spent way too much time in Santa Fe, have you ever been?"
I admitted I'd never made it as far West as California, let alone Santa Fe.
"What?", you gasped, "Steven, you need to see the boardwalk in Santa Fe. Its brilliant, totally not hokey or touristy, just genuine, you know? And you need to see the Redwoods. Its like, try to imagine the biggest tree you've ever seen, then imagine a dinosaur and then the love child of the giant tree and dino had a baby tree; that would be almost in the ballpark of what its like to see a Redwood."
I laughed, "That sounds wonderful. Is that where you're living now? In a giant tree in California?"
You laugh, I didn't realize how much I had missed your laugh. You tell me that although you did try living in a tree once, it just wasn't worth not having running water. You tell me that you ended up in Minneapolis and never realized how beautiful winter could be. You decided to stay. Now you're a long-term substitute teacher with a love for ice fishing. You seem happy, which makes me smile.
I consider telling you how much I miss you, I consider asking you why we let each other slip away. I want to ask if you met anyone. Instead I make up a lie about having to run, having to take a roast our of the oven, having to save a pack of kittens from a burning tree, having to sleep, having to call the wife I don't have. You're disappointed and say we should talk again soon and that I should see the Redwoods. Then you're gone and its just me and the bottle of gin.

Aww.. I wish we lived closer so I could take you out for coffee. Actually, scratch that... with that weather, maybe we should go get ice cream. This transition time is difficult, isn't it?
As for Nicole - umm... ouch? And yeah for Catherine - FINALLY!!!!

You have my full permission to wax poetic/angsty about your son beginning kindergarten. My daughters started preschool a couple weeks ago, and my blog was magically transformed into a sad and lonely place. I can't imagine how it'll change when kindergarten is involved. I probably WILL be sobbing in a corner.

I wouldn't say your poem was incredibly depressing. Heart wrenching maybe, but not depressing!
I'm working on a poem for you, but I'm stuck on the last line. Maybe I'll have it done for this weekend!

And that tiny K class is amazing. Our K classes have 30 kids in them. And near-by school districts have 35+!

How much of a satirist is Simon Hoggart?
No sooner does one blog about a competitor (OK - influence) than they turn out to have feet of clay. On September 22nd, I was enthusiastic about Simon Hoggart. However, he served up this gem in last Saturday's Guardian:
A copy of Michael Broadbent's new book Vintage Wine (Little, Brown, £30) thumps on to my desk. Broadbent is the doyen of wine tasters and this covers thousands and thousands of bottles, some 100 years old.More than Proustian, this last paragraph is rubbish so three possibilities exist:
1. Simon is being provocative, trying to find out how many wine buffs would notice such a silly mistake.
2. Simon made a mistake.
3. Michael Broadbent made a mistake.
Now, I have tasted some of the finest 20th century clarets. I can assure Mrs Trellis and Simon Hoggart that 1961 Chateau Lafite is arguably the finest of the finest. See my blog dated September 9th. Even (especially) when being provocative, it is important to get facts right. What's your excuse, Simon?
[ I have since had a cryptic (i.e. one word) reply from Simon Hoggart. 'Misprint.' it says. I thought that the Grauniad didn't have misprints these days...- Josh]

What is a Ninja Meter? It's a way of telling you about a movie or video game in an easy to digest format. The Ninja Meter was created to help viewers get the information they want at a glance, quick and straight to the point.
This first one is a no-brainer. Of course, every good plot should also have an equally good character that can bring the audience watching until the very end. Characters that have relatable characteristics especially being in the same age group as the audience make them more appealing. It's also always great for characters to have unique personalities that differ from other martial arts animes. That's basically the quality that sets them apart and makes them less of a rip-off.
Dubbing is the process of replacing the vocal script spoken in old classic martial arts movies with that of another voice, translated into another language. While the dubbing quality in martial arts movies can come across as comical, there are some movies that put more effort into the accuracy. The spoken words will carefully follow the lip movement and will be as accurate as possible. Dubbing should flow well and make the story easy to follow so that there is no distraction from what the director is presenting.
Ah yes, like every anime does. If an anime has a good story and then graphics then it's a huge winner! Graphics could, of course, be subjective but we are talking about the animation style, the use of motion blurs, the techniques in using colors, use of angles and camera tricks, and everything aesthetically pleasing.

Seeing as how my blog is called "Our Little Apartment", I thought that I might share something about my actual little apartment! Specifically, I thought that I might share my favourite spot in my home, which is my cozy little corner with my big comfy chair.
This chair is pretty old, it was part of the living room furniture set that my Grandparents received for a wedding present. The set has all been split up now, the couch is long gone and the love seat currently lives in my Grandparents basement. This chair has found a loving home in my apartment though, and I'm going to hang onto it for as long as I can. It's a bit torn up, the stuffing is pouring out in places, and my mother makes comments about it every time she visits, but this chair is so comfy and it has so many memories that it would be hard to let it go.
It's the perfect stress-relieving spot as well. I have my aquarium set up beside it so I have the soothing view of fish swimming around on one side. And on the other side is a big bright window facing the front of my apartment. The perfect people watching spot, as their is always something going on out on the street below. It's also the comfiest spot in my apartment to curl up in the cushions with a warm blanket and good book.
Well that is my favourite spot in my home, my little corner. Please feel free to share your favourite spot in your own with me in the comments!

Ladies and gentlemen, I am proud to announce that...
But state GOP Chairman Saul Anuzis tried to dampen the competition between the candidates' supporters after he was re-elected to a second two-year term.(emphasis added)
Anuzis was endorsed by Michigan Liberal in a landslide.
Saul got a lot done in his first term:
- Unable to defeat a single Democratic incumbent in a state or federal election in 2006.
- Worst performance by a Republican candidate for Governor in 20 years, despite unlimited resources.
- Lost 6 seats in the Michigan House of Representatives to the Democrats, despite a Republican gerrymandered map.
- Lost 1 seat in the Michigan Senate to the Democrats despite a Republican gerrymandered map.
- Fewest Republicans and most Democrats in the Michigan Senate in 15 years.
- Lost control of Michigan House of Representatives to the Democrats, producing a Democratic Speaker for the first time in 12 years.
- Mailings to voters in Kent County helped Michigan Democrats send a second state representative to Lansing from Grand Rapids. Apparently Saul is even more effective at turning around Grand Rapids than Dick DeVos!
- Total Democratic sweep of all elected educational board seats for the first time in 20 years.
- Lost control of numerous county boards to Democrats.
- Endorsed Republican incumbent in 7th Congressional District defeated in primary.
- Urged the Republican National Committee to spend $1 million late on failed Senate campaign of Mike Bouchard rather than devote precious resources to defending Republican incumbents in Montana and Virgina, who in turn lost close races and swung control of the United States Senate to the Democrats!

Nubile Latina Fucked Over Deck Chair
Duration: 13:46 Views: 7 608 Added: 1 year ago
Gorgeous athletic teen Camila feels herself getting wet at the sight of stud Hugo swimming in the pool, so she walks up to him and pulls out her titties, inviting him to take her. He climbs out of the swimming pool, pulling off her panties to reveal a tight little pussy with a neat racing stripe. He licks her until she's moist enough to fuck, then she sucks him to get him fully hard. He bends her over a deck chair and nails her from behind, making her screw up her face and moan loudly in pleasure. He lies on the chair and she rides him - she looks hot and young as she bounces up and down on his hard prick, begging for his cum load.

Believe it or not, I do make things from Pinterest other than food! I'm one of those people who falls in the category of a "crafter wanna-be". I'm not overly crafty, but I am creative. I'm not very precise – I think that's why I don't do well with crafts! But I do get on little craft kicks and sometimes even finish the craft projects I begin!
Mod Podge Canvases – Inspired by this, I was given the task of decorating Than's office when he started his job last fall. Off we went to Michael's to buy canvas, scrapbook paper (of his choice!) and Mod Podge. It didn't turn out perfectly (Mod Podge was a little bubbly…I'm sure somewhere on Pinterest they tell me how NOT to have bubbly Mod Podge…but alas, it's too late) but all in all it added a great splash of colors to the plain walls of his office!

I've always avoided organized tours, preferring to travel on my own schedule. Geek Nation has changed my entire perspective. Not only was the entire trip superbly well planned, but every moment was an enjoyable escapade that my wife and I will look back on forever. The Cassidy family are wonderful hosts and tour leaders, the tour itself was fantastic, and we made friends on the trip that we hope to stay in touch with in perpetuity. We'll be joining Geek Nation on many more tours in the future, I can't recommend them highly enough.
Upcoming Tours
Tour Photos
Wow what a tour of Japan. Monsters, Robots, Anime-Con, Shrines, Cherry Blossom, Tea Ceremony, Fuji, Samurai and Ninjas oh my!! Could not have fitted any more into those days yet still had time to look around and enjoy the time there. Well worth the holiday and considering another one.

Favorite ROAD songs from films!
The best road songs!
You get in the car or get ready to board a plane and there is this flashback moment. You hurriedly search for just the right song to play on your iPOD as you travel! Here are some of my favorites:
Pukarta chala hoon main (Mere Sanam)! Forget that Biswajit is just a footnote in Hindi film history now, this is THE quintessential road song, an avenue of tall trees (poplars?), the girls on bikes, the guy in an open jeep:
How about the guy walking on a road and trying his best to obstruct the way of a bevy of beauties in a car? Only Dev Anand could carry off this song, singing and walking in his signature loping walk with a big white plastic fish dangling on the line! And Tanuja was cute as a button – unforgettable in this film.
Next up are two phenomenal road songs with a similar graph – the girl is on a train and the guys on cars and there is ample romance and nok jhonk between the two. In Jab Pyaar Kise se Hota Hai we have Dev romancing Asha Parekh on the train. Rafi's singing is divine and Shakar JaiKishen are unforgettable here:
No doubt this was the inspiration for Shakti Samanta and the SD Burman/RD Burman duo as they spun this most famous number between Rajesh Khanna and Sharmila Tagore in Aradhna:
Pride of place in train songs has to belong to Chaiyya Chaiyya! Not satisfied with dance and romance in a train or on the road, here the romance is near dead - "Duniya ki sabse choti prem kahani", as the girl is gone! And the hero is on the rooftop of a train in an exuberant number as he details the qualities of love. Gulzaar, AR Rahman, and Farah Khan combined to make this Shahrukh Khan and Malaika Arora number one for the history books.
Then there is this unusual road song, part patriotic, part self-discovery, sung while driving a motorhome – again AR Rahman combines with Ashutosh Gowarikar and Javed Akhtar to bring this Shahrukh Khan and Makarand Deshpande song to us.
I want to end with a bicycle song – from Padosan! The one and only Saira Banu and her gang on sakhiyaan, singing while they take to the road on bicycles!
Happy trails! List you favorites…..

What a great post, Pardesi! I loved all the choices...Here are my top ten picks for the road collection :-)
Wahan kaun hai tera musafir

Suhana safar aur yeh mausam haseen

Yeh dil deewana
Koi na koi chahiye pyaar karne waala
Musafir hoon yaaron
Gaadi bula rahi hai

Great choices Illusionist... So you have some more songs in your repertoire? Well, while we are waiting for you to dig them up, here are a few more from my side :-)
Rote hue aate hain sab
Babu samjho ishaare
Oonche neeche raaste
Sare ke sare gama ko lekar gaate chale
Nadiya chale chale re dhara
Aaj ka yeh din kal ban jayega kal
Zara haule haule chalo more saajna
- March 28, 2010 at 3:08 PM
- Pardesi said...
Lovely selection of songs! I love Babu Samjho Ishare.
Since people are including all journey songs, including boat ones, I have my top boat song to list. Somehow this song always brings a lump into my throat:
O Re Maanjhi
Man ki kitaab se tum mera naam hi mita dena
Gun to na tha koi bhi, avgun mere bhula dena!!
- March 28, 2010 at 4:16 PM

Thanks Avis - nice selection!
- March 28, 2010 at 10:08 PM
- The Illusionist said...
Thanks Minnie for liking the songs. Seems like the OP had an issue with my selection :D
Here are few more :
Ahista Ahista
Chalo Kahin Aur Chalte Hain
Chalat Musafir
Ruk Jana Nahin
Chal Kahin Door Nikal Jayen
- March 28, 2010 at 10:27 PM
- Pardesi said...
OP to main hoon, maine kya bola? :-(

- ApexHeights said...
Since we are talking about personal favs my vote after that song in DDLJ which is more of transitional song will go to Suhana Safar Aur Ye Mausam Haseen picturised on Dilip Kumar.
It also brings fond memories of my beloved dad who would take off on these mukesh and hemant kumar's numbers in a party much to my mom's embarrassment...!

Here are pictures of another structure we made using the polypipes and star pickets.
I saw the idea in an old grassroots mag. It has many uses, such as a vine covered cool place to sit in summer. Put the bbq in it.
Put chooks in it or an aquaponics system.
You could cover the top with net or with a more solid stuff.
The only down side or error we made was cutting the pipes too long, we cut some at 8m long but they bowed down in the warm weather and were unsightly and useless.
So we experimented and found that 4m lengths over star pickets spread at 2.1 to 2.3m apart was perfect.
The taller the star picket the higher the structure, still need dwarf fruit trees if using them in a line. Also bolting them to the picket keeps them from slipping down and being shorter but you can work that out for your self. Am happy to answer any questions.

Uh oh. I think the little pixies that encourage casting on must have been whispering in my ears at night. I have an incredible urge to start a bunch of new things. In addition to stuff I already cast on for and haven't told you about. Man, busy time for pixies I guess.
I went ahead and started my Lizard Ridge afghan. I went to the yarn shop after work the other day and didn't have any knitting with me. What was a girl to do but buy a skein of Noro and some needles that light up (those are just funny) and start something new? I had already ordered the yarn I wanted to use and I promise I'll post a pic once I get it all. So far I've already had to rip back a few times (once in a pretty big way) but I've got the rhythm of it now and am trucking along. Why would I rip? Well...
The designer of Lizard Ridge is a genius. Really. She has you knit from the inside of the ball for one set of ridges and then the outside of the ball for the next. By doing this you get a very dramatic color change instead of the gradual and blended shift you get from Noro when you knit is as intended. As you can see above (kind of) when I used the inside of the ball I was using brown. When I switched to the outside, it was brown too. Darn it. I ripped back to the first ridge, cut off all the brown, and now have a beautiful shift in color. I hope this doesn't happen often but I'll know to watch for it next time.
I also started the Caftan Pullover from the Spring 2006 Interweave. I have been dying for it to cool off enough to make this beauty. I bought Berrocco Touche on sale in a gorgeous blue-red. Ultra Silk is what the pattern called for. That would have been nice but I'm trying to be reasonable with my yarn budget. Key word is trying, mind you. Anyway, I started this pretty thing last Sunday. Sunday's can be for starting too right? It's knitting up quite fast and I'm really enjoying the Touche. It's a very soft yarn to knit with. The rayon in it creates a fabulous drape and the cotton is very nice as well. I actually wouldn't have guessed this was a cotton blend yarn. We'll have to see how it holds up. So far, it's getting an A (would have been an A+ but the yardage really sucks).
Where the pixies are really giving me trouble is with those new KALs I joined. Soctoberfest should be where I take advantage of a little extra inspiration and get the socks I've already got on the needles finished. But then there are all these great new sock patterns available that are tempting me. And I have some Trekking yarn in my stash that has a lot of fall colors in it. How perfect could that be?
And then there's the Grey's KAL. I should just knit on my Caftan Pullover but there's this tempting me. How appropriate would it be to knit something from the Gray's Anatomy section of the latest Vogue during Grey's Anatomy? And I already have the yarn for it. And it starts tonight. I'll have to let you know if I was strong enough tomorrow.

Bacteria in drinking water and Water Wells
There are many health risks that may come with bacteria in the water such as cholera, diarrhea, typhus, yellow fever, stomachache and many others. We can avoid these health risks if we have the water treated before we consume it. There are actually several ways we can do to get the water cleaned and neutralized. No matter what brands of machines involved in the water treatment they're basically work in three stages which include storage, infiltration and chlorination. Those three stages are only the basic steps of water treatment and in order to get maximum results it can followed by chemical treatments.
Chemical disinfectant is the most common chemical treatments used to purify the water. You can also use the chlorine tablets which are perhaps a little more expensive but it's worth it since it's 15 to 20 times much stronger than the halogen tablets. You perhaps only required using 0.5 grams to clean approximately 20 liter of water.

Saturday it was hot as blazes. Or as we used to say, 'wicked hot.' I drove to Lake Phalen for the annual TransPhalen Regatta, a race between all the instructors and instructor assistants in the Red Cross Sailing Program. I've raced this race for the last 6 years and have never won. Other than the heat, it was a perfect day. The skies were blue and the wind was blowing. We rigged the boats and hit the water at 11:00.
The course was set up with a buoy at each of the four "corners" of the lake. The route was a one time circumnavigation of the lake in a counterclockwise direction, cross through the start and once again in a clockwise direction. Normally I botch the start somehow, and then spend the rest of the race trying to catch up. But not this year. This year I had a fabulous start. I crossed the line second and headed on my first tack right behind the guy who has won the race the last two years running. When I came about the first time is where things all went to hell. I tacked, but it seems like the wind shifted at the same moment. So the boat turned, the sail crossed, but I was sitting there doing nothing. So I started falling off and finally found the wind. I sailed that tack but gave up way too much of the lake and fell behind. And after that, I spent the rest of the time trying to catch up. In reality, I spent the entire first lap trying to figure out what the hell the wind was doing.
Once we changed directions I felt much more in tune with the boat and the wind. I had fallen to fourth place by this point, and I knew that first or second was out of reach unless one of those guys capsized. So I just raced my own race from that point. I had several great tacks where I was hiked out the full length of my body. It may not be the fastest point of sail, but it's one of the most exciting, especially on a Sunfish. I managed to make up some time and did pass the third place sailor. She's fairly petite and the wind was really pushing her around, so I think I passed her based on weight, not skill. I held on and finished third.
This was my first regatta of the year and my first time out on a boat this year, so I was really rusty. And it showed. I'm happy with the finish, because usually I finish further down, but lack of time on the water really showed. But the most important part is that it was a blast, as always. The people who volunteer for the program are great, and it's always fun to get to see them and sail with them.
If anybody is interested in learning to sail, I can't say enough good things about the Red Cross program. For a mere $100 you get 8 three hour training sessions (that's only $4.16 per hour), and with the exception of the first night every session includes time on the water. If you would like more info about the program, feel free to contact me.

Mexican Heart…Attack! musings…
I still remember my first kiss ever…it was at my homeboy's wedding…I tongued that bride down 'cause she should'a been marrying me.
I remember my second kiss like it was just yesterday…I was at my homeboy's 10-year anniversary and he and his wife were renewing their vows…I proceeded to tongue down my homeboy's mother 'cause she had just lost her husband in a 10-speed accident and she looked halla good and was vulnerable…So I went for it.
My third kiss ever…I accidentally dropped my tortilla on my lil round Goddaughter's piojo-filled scalp and kissed it to God 'cause I really wanted to eat that mess…Tortillas de harina with mantequilla and a sprinkle of piojos ain't too bad…Corona

This group urges the nomination of John Stagliano for President by acclamation at the 2012 Libertarian Party National Convention.
Mr. Stagliano is an adult film producer who is currently being prosecuted in a federal kangaroo court on "obscenity" charges. The "law" which he supposedly violated is unconstitutional, and the trial is conducted in a lawless manner. What's worse, his "crime" involved only consenting adults acting on their own free will, doing things which are not illegal, and for which no objective standard has been established in law. For details, check out coverage of his case at Reason Magazine: http://reason.com/topics/john-stagliano-trial
Regardless of how you feel about pornography, we must draw a line in the sand. Federal prosecutions of consensual "crimes" must stop!
We don't know what motivated the persecution of Mr. Stagliano. But it is interesting that he has been a financial supporter of liberty-oriented organizations such as the Reason Foundation and the Libertarian Party. It reminds one of the prosecution of the late author and medical marijuana advocate Peter McWilliams, who supported the Libertarian Party and even wrote a book, Ain't Nobody's Business If You Do, that argued for libertarian values.
McWilliams died ten years ago while on bail - he was charged for being a "drug kingpin" for his medical marijuana activities.
Was Peter McWilliams targeted for his actions, or because he spoke out in favor of freedom?
Is John Stagliano singled out among all porn producers for his actions, or because he supports those who speak out in favor of freedom?
We don't know. What we DO know is, if convicted, Mr. Stagliano could face up to 32 years in prison!
Nominating Mr. Stagliano for President would send a message to America. It would say that libertarians reject, completely, the federal war on consensual behavior, and that, whatever we think of pornography, we'd rather have a porn producer who respects individual rights, as Mr. Stagliano does, as President than anyone who believes porn producers should be in jail.
John Stagliano is not just a victim of the federal government, he's also a symbol of the federal government's march toward absolute tyranny and lawlessness. The Libertarian Party could not make a bolder statement for freedom, and for the United States of America, than by nominating John Stagliano to be President of the United States.

Encroachments in your property and how to protect yourself especially for NRIs
How encroachment takes place?
While every property is susceptible to illegal occupation if the owner is not careful enough, properties of NRIs are particularly vulnerable for the obvious reason of they being away from their properties.There are several ways in which illegal occupation can take place. "First is when the existing tenant refuses to leave even after expiry of lease period. These squatters prepare forged documents and threaten you that you do not have legal rights to the property. Generally these are thugs or people with connections who resort to these kinds of tactics to force someone to pay a cost for redeeming their property and enjoying peaceful possession or to force them to make a sale at a distressed value. Sometimes, this has even happened with the connivance of the local authorities. The second is where a tenant forcefully overstays and illegally occupies your property in the face of inadequate checks and balances as well as poorly drafted contracts," says Sarathi, Chief legal Adviser of a leading all India law firm M/s VPS Law Firm.
How to protect?
Generally, the basic rule to follow here is to ensure that you have all your documentation in place to prove your legal rights over the property. "To establish right on the property the owner or a person claiming possession must have documents such as the title deeds, jamabandis, mutation/ intkal, copy of the Will (if any) where the property has been inherited by way of a Will, original purchase agreement/sale deed, electricity bills, water bills and telephone bills etc.," Sarathi says.
He adds, "Most imortantly, after acquiring a property (by means of purchase, gift, relinquishment, bequeathment etc.,) you MUST get all the revenue records mutations done in your favor. If the property is inherited or has come down by way of bequeathment (Will) and the title deed is not in your custody either because the same is untraceable or lost, it is advisable to immediately lodge a formal police complaint to the effect. Next, insert a public notice in at least two local newspapers about the ownership rights over that particular property and obtain 'certified copies' of all such documents from the registering authority or revenue offices concerned. Secondly, pay all outgoings and liabilities like municipality/panchayath/property tax to the authorities in time."
In addition, you must be in touch with your neighbors so that they may be able to notify you in case they notice any activity. You must also keep checking on the property, through friends and relatives, at periodic intervals so that people know that the property is not a soft target. "," Sarathi says.
He also lists some specific tips that you may want to keep in mind with respect to land and houses.
Specific to a vacant plot of land:
– With technology like Google Maps, you can keep a tab on your property from any place in the world. Although it may not be real time monitoring, any major changes on your plot (temporary or permanent structures) will get noticed sooner than later.
– Generally plots in gated communities with proper security are unlikely to encounter encroachment. But even here, in some cases such as on the city outskirts, the chances of encroachment cannot be ruled out. Open plots of land are more susceptible because they are not particularly guarded against encroachment by anyone.
– If you have to give a Power of Attorney (PoA) to a relative or friend, make sure it is a specific one
– Fence the property and put up a board
– If required, take the assistance of a professional service provider who can help you with monitoring the property. Professional firms make periodic visits, fence the property and put up boards. This sends out a strong message to possible encroachers that you are better off leaving the property alone.
If feasible, bring up a small concrete construction in the property, which can be rented out to a tenant under proper documentation (Rental Agreement/Lease Deed)
Specific to Lease/tenancy
– You must hire the services of a lawyer to have good tenancy agreements that protect your interests.
– If you have appointed a tenant through a relative or friend through a PoA, ensure that you know the tenant and have a copy of the agreement entered into. Sometimes people get deceived even within the family or friends just because they aren't clear with the terms upfront. Where you cannot afford to mix up your personal relationship with an obligation like this, avoid it all costs.
– Get your tenant registered with the local police station in places where such tenant registration is either mandatory or is voluntarily accepted. You may be harboring a terrorist and may not even know about it.
– Verify the tenant's past conduct before renewing lease agreements on fresh terms as may be on expiry of contract or demand vacation.
– Verify if your rental payments are credited into your bank monthly. Cheques can get bounced and you may not even notice it for a very long time. This makes the tenant even more secure that he/ she cannot be vacated easily.
– Do some investigation on the tenant's character on the tenant prior to the tenancy, not after. Most people willingly accept tenants whose past history is unknown because the person is willing to pay a few thousands more than what others are willing to pay. There is no concept of credit/tenant rating in India, so most people go by merely what they see and hear about the person through brokers.
– If you have old parents who have rented out their property or part of their property, then you need to consult a lawyer before leasing it to ensure that they don't get taken in for a ride.
"Once the property was occupied, it was a long haul for us. I would only recommend that NRIs, who are not familiar with the way things work in India, take legal advice to protect their property before it gets illegally occupied," says Sarathi.

Escape from the Cyclops
The rams were fat with thick fleeces, fine large beasts with deep black wool. These I silently tied together in threes, with twists of willow on which that lawless monster, Polyphemus, slept. The middle one was to carry one of my men, with the other two on either side to protect him. So there was a man to every three sheep. As for me I took the pick of the flock, and curled below his shaggy belly, gripped his back and lay there face upwards, patiently gripping his fine fleece tight in my hands. Then, sighing, we waited for the light.
As soon as rosy-fingered Dawn appeared, the males rushed out to graze, while the un-milked females udders bursting bleated in the pens. Their master, tormented by agonies of pain, felt the backs of the sheep as they passed him, but foolishly failed to see my men tied under the rams' bellies.
My ram went last, burdened by the weight of his fleece, and me and my teeming thoughts. And as he felt its back, mighty Polyphemus spoke to him: "My fine ram, why leave the cave like this last of the flock? You have never lagged behind before, always the first to step out proudly and graze on the tender grass shoots, always first to reach the flowing river, and first to show your wish to return at evening to the fold. Today you are last of all. You must surely be grieving over your master's eye, blinded by an evil man and his wicked friends, when my wits were fuddled with wine: Nobody, I say, has not yet escaped death. If you only had senses like me, and the power of speech to tell me where he hides himself from my anger, then I'd strike him down, his brains would be sprinkled all over the floor of the cave, and my heart would be eased of the pain that nothing, Nobody, has brought me."
With this he drove the ram away from him out of doors, and I loosed myself when the ram was a little way from the cave, then untied my men. Swiftly, keeping an eye behind us, we shepherded those long-limbed sheep, rich and fat, down to the ship. And a welcome sight, indeed, to our dear friends were we, escapees from death, though they wept and sighed for the others we lost. I would not let them weep though, but stopped them all with a nod and a frown. I told them to haul the host of fine-fleeced sheep on board and put to sea. They boarded swiftly and took their place on the benches then sitting in their rows struck the grey water with their oars.
When we were almost out of earshot, I shouted to the Cyclops, mocking him: "It seems he was not such a weakling, then, Cyclops, that man whose friends you meant to tear apart and eat in your echoing cave. Stubborn brute not shrinking from murdering your guests in your own house, your evil deeds were bound for sure to fall on your own head. Zeus and the other gods have had their revenge on you."
Telemus' prophecy
They bent to their oars and rowed, but as soon as we had put water behind us and doubled our distance I began shouting to the Cyclops, though the men round me called out on every side, trying to deter me with their appeals: "Why provoke the savage to anger in this stubborn way? The rock he threw into the sea just now drove the ship back on shore, and we thought we were done for. If he had been able to hear us speak but a word, he would have hurled another jagged stone, and crushed our heads and the ship's timbers with the power of his throw."
So they argued, but could not daunt my ardent spirit, and I shouted to him again in anger: "Cyclops, if any man asks how you came by your blindness, say that Odysseus, sacker of cities, Laertes' son, a native of Ithaca, maimed you."
At this he groaned, and said in answer: "Alas! The truth of that prophecy spoken long ago is fulfilled! Telemus, the seer, son of Eurymus, a tall fine man, lived here once, the greatest of prophets, and grew old here as soothsayer among the Cyclopes. He told me that all of this would come to pass one day, and I would lose my sight at Odysseus' hands. But I always expected some tall fine man, one of great strength, and now a puny good-for-nothing weakling blinds my eye, after plying me with wine. Come here, Odysseus, nevertheless, so that I might grant you guest gifts, and urge the great Earth-Shaker to see you home, since I am his son, and he says he is my father, and he, of his will, can heal me, where no other of the blessed gods or men can."
I replied, saying: "I wish I could rob you of life and spirit, and send you to the House of Hades, as surely as the Earth-Shaker will fail to heal your eye."
Next: The Curse of Polyphemus

Surf & Sand Challenge - Block 1 - CHINA
Here is a block I made for the Surf and Sand Challenge from the HGTV Message Board. It is from Carol Doak's Mariner's Compass Stars book. We are using Marcus Brothers Surf and Sand fabric for the challenge. You have to use at least two fabrics from that collection per block. The two S & S fabrics in this block are the snowflakes in the background fabric and the blue polka doted fabric on one of the rays. I managed to get a little depth in this one - something I am always trying for but usually miss...
Here it is next to the same pattern in different colors. I like this one better!
Whew!! After several days of working the longarm instead of piecing a block, I really needed some quilting therapy!

New Year, New Goals
January 1, 2009
You know you've done it too. You've made this big long list of ways to be better, badder, happier, hotter, calmer, more efficient, sophisticated, educated and perfecticated. At peace with yourself and the world and all is well.
One of my goals for this year is to post at least one image or more every single day. These will be more personal images from my daily life and travels. The thing is, I won't be posting the images here on the blog. This blog is all about my work life and just a little bit about my other life. So if you are interested in keeping up with the daily images you will need to be my friend. On facebook that is. Just look me up and we can be friends it's pretty easy.
This is an image taken at lunch today, and I posted two others in addition. Even though this project will be consist of personal images, I don't see myself posting pictures of the kids much. It's more likely to be an interesting design or texture, or the way the light hits an object that will spark my interest. It's really intended to be a year long study in visual design with a homework assignment every day. I hope you will join in and enjoy!

SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) --Wednesday is the day to help the Ronald McDonald House Charity make a difference in the lives of the families they serve.
The charity is celebrating its Day of Change, the 40th anniversary of the opening of the first Ronald McDonald house ever.
They're asking people to come by to any McDonald's restaurant and drop off change in donation boxes located near the registers.
All the proceeds will go to help the local chapter of the charity provide a place for lodging near health facilities for families whose children are undergoing treatment for illnesses.
Last year, donations to those boxes raised $52 million.

During a very stressful time, your body may react by causing more hairs than normal to go into resting phase. The medical term for this condition is telogen (tee-lə-jen) effluvium (ih-flu-vee-uhm). During telogen effluvium, the body sheds a dramatic amount of hair. For most people, the hair will start to grow again without any help.
4. Make an appointment to see a dermatologist. Many things can cause hair loss. If hair loss concerns you, be sure to see a dermatologist. A dermatologist can find the cause and tell you what you what to expect.
When it comes to conventional treatments for hair loss, there are a lot of possible side effects you should be aware of before using any of these options. Make sure to read warnings carefully and take them into serious consideration because a lot of the side effects are quite serious. For example, serious side effects of minoxidil products like Rogaine can include unwanted facial/body hair, dizziness, fast/ irregular heartbeat , fainting, chest pain, swelling of hands/feet, unusual weight gain, tiredness and difficulty breathing.

I can't believe I'm done with the show. Now what are we supposed to do now? Season two is still a long way off. I'm tempted to start reading any book about Queen Elizabeth because I'm so intrigued by her and her life and I want to find out more about her. This show is great, but I don't think it really delved too much on Elizabeth's life.
This was a very good finale, but I think I preferred/enjoyed the previous two episodes more. I felt for Margaret, I really did, but she really put Elizabeth in a difficult position because the government and the Crown cannot and won't let this marriage happen. I wonder how things would have been different if Margaret and Peter's story is occurring now. I bet this wouldn't even be a point of contention and they would be able to marry with no issues. Hell, Charles was able to marry Camila Parker Bowles with no issues even though her ex-husband was still alive (right?).
It saddened me to have the sisters be at odds again and that they weren't able to heed their father's advice about not letting one another down. I do still love their relationship, though. It's so complicated and so layered and just so interesting. I hope we get to see more of that in season two.
Ugh, Philip, shut up already. I wanted to smack him for his comment about his kids: "Well, our daughter's a boy and our son is, God bless him, a girl." And what exactly is wrong with that?
Did anyone else groan when Edward showed up again? I swear I can't stand this man at all. I rolled my eyes when he was talking to Elizabeth over the phone and lamenting the fact that he's a half-king with no kingdom. Cry me a fucking river. But I do like that he's there for Elizabeth when she needs advice. Just need to see less of him next season, please.
And I also liked this part of his speech: "We are half-people. Ripped from the pages of some bizarre mythology, the two sides within us, human and crown engaged in a fearful civil war, which never ends."
What is going on with Eden and what is he injecting himself with? Is he hiding how sick he really is from everyone? Hasn't he learned from what Churchill and Salisbury did and keeping Churchill's strokes from the Queen?
All in all, this was a magnificent series and a TV triumph. The production values are unparalleled and the performances extraordinary. Special mentions go out to Claire Foy and John Lithgow, both quite deserving of all the awards that they have gotten earlier this year. Here's to season two!

The Bellamy Brothers paired their latest album with an album of Greatest Hits, and I think that was a mistake. This album would have stood on its own merits.
(By the way, keep an eye on their website and go see them live if you get a chance. They put on a great show!)

We spent this morning working with C to get all the Christmas decorations down and put away. When we finished, I reheated some left-overs for lunch. Daughter came in to get her insulin. She started to walk away, and then she turned around and said, "Hey! I've noticed two things. I'm not crying about Grandma and Grandpa anymore. I'm having good dreams about them. I'm being more cooperative, too."
She is right. She is doing much better. It's nice to have her on a more even keel. She has even handled these last few days of unstructured vacation time well. I haven't heard her whine once about needing to be back at the workshop now and hating vacation. She initiated a movie with NG on Thursday, and had a good time. She'd been doing everything she could to avoid him. She's beginning to take some initiative in keeping the house clean, too.
Of course, she's still not perfect. Yesterday evening I went up and confiscated a package of crackers she'd hidden in her room. I know that cymbalta won't be a cure all that will solve all her problems. But if she's not crying and clinging to me, it will be much easier to deal with the problems that still exist. So far 2010 is looking much better than 2009.

But what you DIDN'T know was that Mom went to Trader Joe's an' bought a box of ...
Yay! Shrimp are GOOD an' Mom understands that Tuxie girls MUST have shrimp ... In fact, I think that I may like shrimp ALMOST as much as I like turkey (mmmmm ... turkey)!
So she invited me to come over to my place at the dining table (I was there sofastthatIwasablur) an' have some. I got TWO shrimp of my furry own an' I ate them furry quietly so that I wouldn't attract the attention of the Feline Americans who would most definitely want to have some of MY shrimp. Mom carefully cut my two delicious, succulent Trader Joe's shrimp into five pieces each so that I could savor them ... but I still blew through my shrimp like a GREAT WHITE SHARK. I was so intensely concentrating on devouring my shrimp that I nearly took off two of Mom's fingers in the process.
I say, "Watch yourself, Mom. Your fingers just might become collateral damage if you get in the way of MY SHRIMP!"

Kvaerner is refocusing its oil and gas business away from the North Sea to international projects. It will specialise in high value-added sub-sea and process technologies instead of riskier large-scale fabrication.
A review of the company's oil and gas interests has resulted in the merger of all UK and Norwegian activities into two divisions – a North Sea-focused capital development projects business called Field Development and an offshore operational services business based in Aberdeen.
Kvaerner announced the mothballing of its Teesside fabrication yard last month. The future of its other three yards in Scotland and Norway is under review.
In the quarter to September the firm's turnover rose to NK11.9bn (£924.5m) from NK11.5bn (£893.4m) compared with the previous quarter. Operating profit rose to NK231m (£18.06m), up from NK183m (£14.31m), in the same period.

Green home tour in St. Charles to benefit Advocate Lutheran General Children's Hospital
submitted by ERIK
October 14, 2008 | 02:18 PM
(click for larger version)
People who like to "think green" can help chase away the blues for sick children by attending "Changing the World Together," an estate tour of the ultimate green home located at 6N558 Kim Lane in St. Charles—the proceeds of which will benefit Advocate Lutheran General Children's Hospital in Park Ridge.
Scheduled for Saturday, November 8 from noon to 7 p.m. and sponsored by Robert Lord Builders and Baird & Warner Real Estate, the estate tour charity event will include several exciting highlights for attendees:
• An appearance by Dan Hampton, former Chicago Bears defensive lineman and Hall of Famer, who will be available for pictures and autographs between noon and 2:30 p.m.
• An "ultimate green" expo hosted by builder Robert Lord and his team of environmental vendors, set for 2:30 to 5 p.m. Lord will begin a press conference at 2:30 p.m. that will highlight the amazing features of his one-of-a-kind, eco-friendly residence, which is designed to yield astounding energy savings as well as pamper occupants with lavish appointments and high-end amenities. Additionally, Advocate Lutheran General Hospital's engineering team will discuss their facility's new "green" patient tower—the first of its kind in Illinois.
• An organic wine tasting slated for 5 to 7 p.m. Attendees can sample a variety of organic wines, learn the fundamentals of wine tasting and hear from the experts what makes a wine organic.
• A silent auction of valuable items, which will be conducted throughout the day between noon and 6:30 p.m.
Admission to "Changing the World Together" is $15 in advance (to register and purchase tickets, visit www.RobertLordBuilders.com) or $20 at the door. Proceeds will benefit the hospital's Midwest Children's Brain Tumor Center and other special pediatric programs.
"Brain tumors are the leading cause of death among children with cancer, and damage from the tumor and side effects from treatment can severely impact a child's quality of life," said Lord. "The Midwest Children's Brain Tumor Center is on the cutting edge of new technologies, treatments and services to minimize these side effects and complications and assist more children in need. But they need our help."
The goal of the benefit is to raise at least $50,000 for the hospital, Lord said.
"By attending our event on November 8, not only can you help us raise funds for The Midwest Children's Brain Tumor Center, but you can gain valuable tips on green building and energy efficiency that can be applied to your current or future home," said Lord. "If you want to see the exciting direction that green building is headed toward, it's worth your while to see this home. Plus, you'll be able to ask questions of my environmental vendors and the hospital's engineering staff to learn everything you've always wanted to know about sustainable development, green materials and improving energy efficiency."
Lord said he's proud to partner on the event with a fellow green builder. Advocate Lutheran General Hospital is currently completing construction on a new eight-story, 192-room patient tower—on pace for completion in June 2009—that is seeking Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Gold certification from the U.S. Green Building Council. Lutheran General would be the first hospital in Illinois to achieve this demanding national standard that assures environmental responsiveness, resource efficiency and community sensitivity.
"Studies have shown that LEED-certified buildings create a high-performance healing environment for patients and hospital staff," said Mary Kozil, director of development for Advocate Lutheran General Children's Hospital. Kozil noted that the new tower will feature a green roof with low ground-cover plantings; rain gardens to promote storm water irrigation; ultra-energy efficient mechanical and electrical systems; recycled, locally produced and rapidly renewable materials; a special meditation garden; and a green building visitor's center.
"We're thrilled that Robert Lord Builders chose our Midwest Children's Brain Tumor Center as the beneficiary of this charitable event, which will greatly help the children we serve," Kozil added. "This was a perfect partnership because Robert shares our philosophy about building with environmental responsibility in mind."
Lord's ultimate green home also boasts a number of green highlights, including:
• An underground geothermal heating and cooling system by ClimateMaster that provides a renewable fuel source to maximize energy efficiency and eliminate carbon monoxide. The result? Up to 75 savings in heating and cooling costs and three times more efficiency than fossil fuels.
• Closed-cell foam insulation—a spray-applied polyurethane foam by Honeywell that offers a higher R-value (up to R-24 vs. the typical R-13 in the walls and up to R-72 vs. the usual R-38 in the ceilings) than traditional fiberglass products (typically R-13), prevents mold growth, restricts moisture transmission and increases the home's structural strength. Its use is estimated to reduce energy costs by up to 75 percent and lower wasteful air infusion by 40 percent.
• DuPont's Tyvek low-E ThermaWrap and AtticWrap throughout the house, which achieves an energy savings up to 15 percent. The former helps keep radiant energy that accumulates in the wall sheathing from releasing to the exterior during the winter, and reflects radiant heat out of the wall via its metalized surface to cool the interior in the summer. The latter is a revolutionary breathable membrane that helps create an airtight seal to reduce air leakage and energy loss through the roof. These products shed water away from the entire building envelope.
• Low-E, ultra-efficient windows by Hurd throughout the home. These windows have a DP (design pressure) rating of 55—up from the industry average of 40—that indicates an extremely well-built product built to withstand extremely high winds. The Hurd windows also offer an exclusive climate guard SPF of 99.9, which means that it blocks virtually 100 percent of all UV rays.
• A hybrid septic system that uses an aerobic digester in tandem with a raised sand filter, which reduced the size of the septic field by half and helped save several trees in the process. The aerobic digester also helps decrease the time it takes for waste matter to decompose, making it an earth-friendly system.
• A hybrid water well that uses a variable-speed pump (operating at multiple speeds of performance based on need) and a constant-pressure demand technology; the system's pressure tank is up to 75 percent smaller than the size of a traditional tank—saving space, water and energy.
• Two self-replenishing in-home waterfalls by Napoleon (one measuring 3' x 6' in the master bathroom, the other measuring 2' x 3' in the foyer) that purify and hydrate the air, thus eliminating the need for a separate air filtration system and separate humidifiers.
• Two whole-house, stainless steel water heaters by Polaris that are 95-plus percent efficient and connected to the geothermal system.
• Direct-vent, high-efficiency, sealed-unit fireplaces by Napoleon, linked to forced-air ductwork, that can heat up to 3,000 square feet in the home using combustible outside air for extra efficiency; the kitchen fireplace is also a cooking source.
• A dual-fuel hybrid kitchen range by Wolf that runs on natural gas and electricity, designed to yield substantial energy savings.
• Hybrid electric toilets by Kohler that also function as bidets and minimize water usage unlike any product seen before.
• Energy Star-certified home with Energy Star-rated appliances, ceiling fans and other products that actually exceed Energy Star standards.
• A backyard fiberglass pool and spa that uses Pentair equipment: an earth-friendly sand filter; an EasyTouch computerized network; IntelliFlo variable-speed, computerized pump that works depending on the need; InteliChlor generator that produces chlorine for a saltwater pool that eliminates the use of environmentally harmful chemicals; ThermalFlo heat pump that produces all the heat for the pool and spa to condition the heated water using air and electricity, similar to the underground geothermal system (this heater is designed to reduce energy consumption by up to 75 percent compared to a gas-forced heating system and eliminate its carbon footprint); and energy efficient fiber optics for lighting.
• Carpeting and carpet padding by Shaw made from recycled materials.
• Low-VOC wall paints by ICI that reduce the amount of toxic emissions into the air.
• LED lights exclusively in the kitchen, which use a fraction of the wattage of CFL bulbs and last up to 15 years.
• An eco-paver driveway by BellGuard that employs permeable paver stones for efficient water drainage; this special product takes all the runoff water and recharges the earth as though the driveway doesn't exist.
• Environmentally sensitive plumbing fixtures.
• Millwork created from the native species of trees that had to be cleared from the site to make room for the house.
• The trees removed from the site were recycled.
• The Hooving recycling company reused or recycled 75 percent of the construction waste.
"In planning this home, we wanted to question everything throughout the process to ensure that what we were doing would significantly reduce the residence's carbon footprint without sacrificing on quality or comfort," said Lord of the Energy Star-certified abode. "We approached its design and construction with a 'pay-it-forward' philosophy. What that means is that we incorporated the newest and greatest green systems and technologies that are intended to pay for themselves within a short time due to their efficiencies."
As a result of his painstaking efforts, Lord's custom creation stands as a groundbreaking and impressive example of a custom luxury home that doesn't have to be small, simple or modest to be "green" and renewably responsible. In fact, the home spans a total of approximately 15,000 square feet—yet the living spaces are resourcefully cooled, heated and insulated with components that can boast unheard-of energy savings.
The "Changing the World Together" event planners are seeking sponsors, advertisers and donors to help fund this worthy cause planned for November 8. For more information on sponsorship and advertisement opportunities or to donate to the silent auction, call (815) 603-0541 or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.
Located on lot #2 at 6N558 Kim Lane in the Red Oaks subdivision—off Denker and Silver Glen Roads in St. Charles—Lord's ultimate green home is priced at $4.8 million and available for immediate delivery.

Moving is a stressful procedure and is also expensive. Boxes for moving can help get rid of your stresses when it comes to moving. Moving house can be an very stressful ordeal for people as (money aside) memories are left behind, along with friends, familiar places and a home you have come to love.
Moving companies are a great place to obtain them, but they're also available at rental truck services, packaging store places, office supply stores, big box stores, and corrugated outlets. The sizes may vary, however, boxes are easy to keep as they could be collapsed and stored to be used at a later date making the price of relocation affordably low. Relocating and moving from one place to another place is certainly a tiring process for the entire family but you can make things easier by using good boxes for moving.
Boxes for moving are a special type of box that are strong and are used to pack away all your books, toys and other things around the house in order to move house. Most people don't give much thought about boxes for moving once they plan to relocate. When moving from place to another you would like to ensure that your personal possessions reach the destination safely with no damage.
One of the most important packing supplies that you'd ever need is boxes for moving. Simply start gathering boxes as soon as you recognize you are moving and you need to be able to accumulate sufficient boxes in time to start packing up your belongings about eight weeks before moving day. When organizing a move, packing boxes may be the biggest hurdle that you will have to overcome, especially if you are using a removalist to do all the heavy lifting.
Boxes may seem like waste material lying around the house, but if used for the correct applications, they can indeed prove to be very helpful. These boxes permit you to pack all of your belongings in an organized and a secure way. Supplies like cardboard boxes, packing tape and packing supplies are all items that are required to get your belongings from one place to another.
They could also probably offer some valuable discounts and in turn just bless you with very cheap moving boxes to use while the need to move arises. It is not even easy to imagine how you would start packing your things if you do not use boxes to do that. Cardboard boxes for moving are preferred as it is eco-friendly and made of recycled materials.
Cardboard boxes for moving are the best as it is made of three different layers and each layer provides protection. While buying moving boxes may not be the most cost effective answer, they will provide the best safety for your possessions. It is important for any move to have the right packing boxes for moving your items.
In moving to another residence or another location you need to pack your stuff using a top quality moving boxes so that it won't be broken over the long-distance move. In purchasing boxes for moving go to our web site http://www.boxesaz.com/moving-supplies to find premium quality moving supplies to your requirements.

Quick synopsis of today's committee hearing on HB 1311.(HB 1311 is a bill that would mandate insurance coverage for hearing aids in Indiana)
from HEAR INDIANA:
Rep. Goodin (author of the bill) said he was doing this because it was the right thing to do, and yes it would raise premiums, but it was still the right thing to do. He is a school superintendent and he has seen working families in his community who have been unable to afford the hearing aids needed to access school.
The committee asked him some questions, mainly about the cost to all those who paid premiums.
Some reps suggested making it "optional" coverage not mandating it for all. The sense was that this "optional" benefit would be so expensive to the folks who needed it most (the working class) - and those folks would not be able to afford the optional benefit.
The committee discussed sending this to the "Task Force on Mandates" - Rep. Fry (Committee Chair) said that would surely slow things down and was not in favor of doing that.
Testimonies in support of the bill were given by: Naomi Horton (Hear Indiana), Shireen Hafeez (parent), Teri Ouellette, and Mark Taylor (parent of 2 children with hearing loss, and married to a women with hearing loss).
Testimony against the bill was given by a woman (I think with some medical/insurance group, not exactly sure) who wanted to add some language about medical necessity to the bill (requiring a physician to "write a script" to the audiologist to indicate it was medically necessary.) Also the chamber of commerce spokesperson testified against the bill. He said that the increased premiums would really hurt small businesses.
It was brought up that this bill would only cover about 1/3 of all insured Hoosiers. According to a federal law called ERISA, many companies (2/3 or them apparently) are "self insured" and would be "protected" from mandates by this federal law. See link for more information on that. I have no idea if you can amend this bill to avoid the ERISA issue. If so, no one mentioned that today. If anyone knows more about this issue, please enlighten me. Thanks!
There was some concern that financially this bill (b/c it covers all ages and medicare recipients) would not be financially feasible.
The committee chair tabled the bill for one week. They would consider possible amendments during the week. Including more data on how many Hoosiers we are actually talking about. It is my understanding that interested parties can be present for the next discussion (in one week) but that there will not be any public testimony at that meeting. Next week the committee could vote on it, table it, or send it to the "task force on mandates" - which essentially indefinitely postpones any forward movement of the bill.
After the committee meeting, I spoke with Rep. Goodin, Rep. Murphy, Rep. Borders.
I gave Goodin a copy of model legislation that was written by ASHA. I was encouraged that Rep. Goodin has asked for additional data from me, and has requested to talk with me before the next committee meeting.
Rep. Murphy seemed like he wanted to make this work too. He seemed in support of a "kids" bill, but he also asked us to consider mandating that school districts cover aids instead of the insurance companies. I'm guessing Rep. Goodin (aka Superintendent Goodin ) would never go for that change. Not to mention that the families who need these aids the most typically have a more difficult time advocating for their rights under a revision to Article 7.
Rep. Borders has a brother and a nephew with hearing aids, and was sympathetic to the cause. Wants to work it out if we can. But definitely felt like it was a lot of money for everyone to pay in insurance premiums for only a few to benefit from (paraphrasing).
Thank you everyone for showing up today. For your interest and support. Let me know if you have questions.
I will keep you posted!
