Teddy Casiño and His 'Monkey' Economic Solutions
- NOTE: I first posted the following on Facebook.
Scumbag Leninist/Maoist Teddy Casiño has just started campaigning… for senator.
His main political advocacy is freakin' hilarious. Cory Aquino did not just bankrupt this third-world nation; through the party-list system, she also brought it closer to socialism. The Philippines is now up for grabs by the Leninists and Maoists.
From his Facebook page:
"At the moment, his main advocacy is the lowering of prices of electricity, oil and water as well as regulation in the price of education, healthcare, mobile communications, toll fees and other basic utilities and services.Toward this end, he has filed bills on the removal of VAT on power (HB 2719), oil (HB 1630) and toll fees (HB 5303) as well as the regulation of oil prices (HB 4355), mobile phone services (HB 5653), tuition fees (HB 1961) and interest rates (HB 4917). He has consistently opposed the budget cuts in our state colleges and universities as well as the privatization of our public hospitals and water districts."
This is the very type of political scam that brought economic disasters to Greece and many third-world countries– the type of intellectual mediocrity that has been for years pushing our nation toward political and economic catastrophe.
Based on that campaign statement, Casiñoseeks to lower the prices of electricity, oil and water through the following political apparatuses:
- Regulations
- Price controls
- Removal of VAT, which is a good thing. Who dares oppose the removal of 'some' taxes? But they want…
- More government spending
Yes. They want more spending! How are we going to pay for their highly expanded welfare programs? Their solution? Pass more laws and regulations!
A lawmaker is not to be judged by the number of laws he passed! More laws mean more restrictions on our freedom. Cicero clearly understood this very basic, elementary principle 2,000 years ago. A lawmaker is to be judged by how he protects individual rights! Did he object to fascist laws and unsustainable welfare programs proposed by his colleagues? Did he say "NO" to the President's tax plans? Did he oppose the Cybercrime law? Etcetera, etcetera.
Numbers 1, 2 and 4 are not going to solve poverty and pricing problems in the country. No amount of regulations, price controls and economic laws is going to cut the prices of commodities, particularly oil, electricity, Internet, healthcare and education. In fact, Casino's proposed actions/measures would only aggravate our worsening economic ills. They're not going to solve them; instead they would bring us closer to economic disaster.
The problem is, Casino doesn't have the brain to understand the root of economic crisis in the country.
Currently we have the most expensive electricity in Asia. Why? First, because of our protectionism! Power crisis can't be solved by simply passing laws. When we speak of the power/electricity sector, we speak of technology. We speak of innovators. We speak of people who have the minds and ability to introduce new ways to produce and distribute electricity to consumers. We speak of competition. We don't speak of politicians who do NOTHING except spout vague generalities and empty political rhetoric.
Second, the Philippine power sector had long been monoplized, cartelized by the country's 'constitutional oligarchs': the Independent Power Producers and the monopoly profiteers. The IPPs ABSOLUTELY FACE NO MARKET COMPETITION at all. Whether they produce electricity or not the taxpayers are legally obliged to pay. Every first year economics student ought to understand that lack of competition means lack of incentive for power producers to innovate and lack of market pressure to cut prices. This is the very outcome of the seemingly MANUFACTURED, PLANNED power crisis during the Cory Aquino era. Whether the power crises in the late 1980s and early 1990s were deliberately planned or not, what's pretty clear is that this country doesn't have a free market power sector.
Casino is the political monkey that tries to save a fish from drowning by putting it up on a tree. Regulations create unnecessary costs that manufacturers, producers or companies pass on to consumers. Take the case of the regulatory Biofuel Act of 2006 that requires oil companies to blend 5% of ethanol into gasoline. This regulation is in compliance with the global warming and environmentalist agenda of the globalist United Nations. Despite the absurd claim by government economists and regulators that this law will impact fuel prices, ethanol and the blending process inevitably add costs which oil firms will pass on to their consumers.
Casino's solution is to make the oligarchs pay– and make everybody pay. Why, he's a socialist! Price controls will also make things worse. What is there to control when the economic problems in these parts were actually caused by our Constitution and semi-fascist political system?
There's no genuine market competition in the Philippines. Every industry is being controlled and monopolized by cronies and oligarchs.
You want cheaper electricity, Internet, oil, education, etc? Allow foreign investors to compete with our local industries. Allow foreign power companies to compete with our IPPs. Allow Japan and Korean Internet companies to compete with PLDT and Globe.
The solution is also to cut taxes, by half if necessary. The government needs to adopt a lower flat tax rate– 15% if necessary.
But economic freedom and economic competition remain unattainable without dismantling the Cory Aquino Constitution. The solutions are as follows:
- Revise the Charter
- Impose a 15% flat-tax rate (or lower), and abolish VAT, capital gains tax, estate tax, and others.
- Abolish tariffs
- Allow foreign investors to own lands. If foreigners can own lands in China, why can't they own the lands here? The truth is, China is way more economically free than RP. Ironically, they're more 'capitalistic' than the Philippines.
- Remove the 60-40 law and other protectionist measures. Fully allow foreign investors to be part of our economy.
- You want more affordable healthcare? Allow foreign doctors to practice here. Allow them to put up hospitals. This will largely benefit Filipino doctors. This is a good form of medical technology transfer.
- Lower spending. The people need jobs, not conditional cash transfer benefits. They need jobs, not RH services.
- Privatize all GOCCs, especially PAGCOR, NAPOCOR and the University of the Philippines.
That's the only solution. Casino's stupid solution is- that is- STUPID!

sa idea mo na yan ang ibig mong sabihin hayaan natin makinabang ang mga ibang bansa sa ating likas na yaman, katalinuhan at pagsamantalahan ang ating kakayanan. Isa pa, sa tono ng inyong akda, gusto mong ipabatid na tayo ay isang KAPITALISTANG BANSA? Tama ba ang aking tinuran?
Ang tanong ko lang kung tinuturing mo na tayo ay kapitalistang bansa…bakit wala tayong industriya na maituturing na atin? at paano mo naging batayan ang CHINA sa Pilipinas kung ang kanilang likas na kalagayan ay malayong malayo sa PILIPINAS.
March 10, 2013 3:38
What do you mean makinabang ang ibang bansa. Have you looked at freer economies that fully allow investors to do business? So, you're saying the 60-40 protectionism and other restrictions are not enough? Are you saying this country should be like North korea, which is a totally closed economy?

With only two seniors on the team, Coaches Warren Kaari and Craig Canham knew experience was not going to be one of the strong suits for the Tiger Cross Country team. Dedication, determination and desire would be.
No evidence of any dual meets was found. However South participated in invitational meets at Benilde-St. Margaret's Fairmont, Coon Rapids, Cambridge, and St. Paul Central.
These seemed to be warm ups for the Conference Meet. The top 10 runners were from either South or Roosevelt. Unfortunately for the Tigers, Roosevelt claimed six of the positions and the Conference Title. South's top five finishers, which counted for the team score were Eric Martinson, fifth place, Eli Anthony, seventh, Eric Beise, eighth, Ben Sholl, 10th, and Dietz Dittrich, 14th.

Yesterday, I talked about playing games in an alternate way from how they were meant to be played. Today, I will talk about games that generate non-game forms of entertainment.
Perhaps you are familiar with the RPG soap opera and the RPG fanfic. The RPG soap opera is when you play an RPG (or any game that allows the character to travel multiple possible paths and return to previous locations) and make up your own story. To heck with in-game quests, levelling up, time, or kills. You're just a character freestyling around, wandering from place to place and making up stories. It's like a LARP, only you don't have to get up off your butt.
This can be fun in and of itself, and it can also lead to ideas for original fiction or RPG fanfics. When you're done playing the "game," or whatever it can be called at that point, there's the whole other prospect of writing a story about it. In fact, there is a genre of fanfiction that does not even require the author to make up a new story. There are some stories that are just dramatic retellings of the game creator's intended quests. Because, I guess, when Aerith died, we didn't angst enough. Hey, any story is entertaining if it's told well.
And while we're on the subject of fun non-game things that can be derived from games, how about game music? Who doesn't love a good Overclocked remix? Whether your passion is making and mixing music, or just listening to it, games have given us a lot. Background music is, well, it's in the background. It's often overlooked and underrated, but when we take notice and engage with game music, there's a lot more to it than meets the ear.
Finally, there are games that are used to create visual art. The most recent example of this is Minecraft. In case you ever wanted a giagantic blocky image of Twilight Sparkle, you can use Minecraft to create the Nazca lines of My Little Pony. This isn't limited to Minecraft though. Any game that gives the user a chance to design something block by block offers the opportunity to recreate any image (however pixelly it may be).
So, then, is this just about using games for The Other Use? No. It extends beyond games, as we'll discuss tomorrow.

The most common adverse events in Phase 3 clinical trials were arthralgia, headache, flushing, nasopharyngitis and upper respiratory tract infection..

Lakers In Review
The Lakers of 2010 aren't looking like the Lakers of 2008-09. While Kobe Bryant is still Kobe Bryant, the rest of the team seems to coasting, expecting that the Black Mamba will simply carry them to another championship. The Los Angeles Lakers, the defending NBA champs, have shown that nobody but Bryant is ready to defend last season's title.
The Lakers are considered one the most talented teams in the NBA, with forward Pau Gasol, center Andrew Bynum, versatile forward Lamar Odom and Kobe Bryant.
The fans expect this team to perform at an elite level after winning the title simply because of all the talent they possess.
The Lakers have all but clinched the number one spot in the Western Conference, with the second best overall record at 53-18.
So what's there really to worry about, right?
The problem is the Lakers have not shown the mentality of an NBA champion this season. Looking at their schedule, the Lakers have lost games to teams that they should have comfortably beaten.
All these teams have little-to-no depth and most are either out of the playoffs or struggling just to make it.
They started off the year with one of the easiest schedules in the league, with 20 of their first 31 games at home. According to NBA.com, the Lakers went 25-6 through December, a record that could have easily been 28-3, had it not been for their lackluster play against teams like Phoenix, Houston and Utah.
Since January, the Lakers have gone 28-12, highlighting a substantial drop in their winning percentage. With losses to the Clippers, Portland, Toronto, Memphis, Miami, and Charlotte, fans in Lakerland have been left in confusion.
Had they won those 9 games, the Lakers would be at a league best of 62-9, on their way to matching the Chicago Bulls' record 72-10 season.
The Lakers are held back by a belief that they can outscore and outplay any team on any given night.
A recent game on the road against the Miami Heat is a prefect illustration. The Lakers had no business even letting Miami remain competitive in this game, not when the Heat's only talent consists of All Star and MVP candidate Dwayne Wade.
How in the world does one player carry a team with no talent past the Lakers? The purple and gold should've have buried them right at the outset of the game, but they let Miami hang around just long enough to steal the win.
Inside the NBA, a series on TNT starring Charles Barkley, Chris Webber, Kenny Smith and Ernie Johnson recently spotlighted a segment about the most annoying team in the NBA.
On March 5, Ernie Johnson started the show by asking the analysts whether the Lakers are still head and shoulders above the rest of the league.
"The Lakers are the most annoying team in the world," Barkley said. "They are the most talented team in the NBA. They [only] win because they have the most talent. They're not a dominating team."
Chris Webber stated that Bryant is the only player who has that killer instinct. He is the only one on the Lakers that actually wants to have the best record in the NBA.
In a recent home game against Toronto, Bryant hit the game-winning jumper to sneak past the Raptors.
When asked how satisfying the win was, Bryant wasn't pleased at all.
"We put a lot of points on the board, but that's not how you win championships by your offense being pretty," said Bryant "If that was the case, we would've won two years ago. We've got to get ugly, stop people, and that's how we'll win."
Michael Jordan had less talent on his team and yet still managed to have the Bulls ready to compete every single night, regardless of their opponent.
Nobody is questioning Bryant's competitiveness, but the supporting casts' mentality must change. Right now, it seems they are riding his coattails into the playoffs. Bryant has bailed the Lakers out at least seven times with game winners, and of the seven, six were against teams that had no business even being in the game at all.
Without Bryant, the Lakers are just a playoff team, not one capable of winning an NBA championship. And if the Lakers don't bring home the Larry O'Brien trophy this year, the supporting cast will be held responsible.
The other contending teams like Cleveland, Denver, Orlando, and Dallas play each game like it is their last because they are all hungry for that championship ring.
I don't see the Lakers winning the title this season solely because all of the players, save Kobe, lack that hunger. To me, even the tenth-seeded Houston Rockets deserve the championship more than L.A., simply because they play like they want it every night.
Lakers fans are crazy if they think Los Angeles will cruise to the Finals this year. With the standings getting tight, the Lakers will have to elevate their play if they even want to make it past the second round.
Lakers, every team believes they can beat you. I dare you to beat them.

A year before the US government assassinated Dr. Martin Luther King, he asked Americans to end their silence over an unlawful, treaty-violating, and lie-started war killing millions.
The month he was assassinated by the US government, Dr. King was to march for their "Occupy DC" movement (the brochure).
You face similar circumstances today: a criminal war based on lies and in Orwellian treaty violation, and a chance to support our Occupy movement.
Your unique, powerful, and beautiful self-expression is breaking the relative silence that concealed US War Crimes. Your rejection of silence is breaking Orwellian lies of corporate media. Your support of Occupy will end economic and War Crimes, redirecting trillions for public benefit.
Your demonstrating love of American ideals is building the brighter future we're all here to realize.

Let us tell you – the proper channeling is something amazingly productive and also it can lead your means to genuine outcomes. However, you will not see much about this vital subject any kind of hacking growth book. Nonetheless, we are going to discuss this topic in a sensible information right here. This excerpt is taken from an advertising and marketing hacking growth book.
Growth Hacker Marketing Itunes Fundamentals regarding Marketing Funnels
All of us know, the key purpose of the funnel is to get web traffic or visitors. This is the act of pushing any person to see your application or web for the initial time. At this phase, they are simple visitors as they don't belong to you. Still, they have not done anything you desire them to do. To puts it simply, they are complete strangers that just arrived at your website unintentionally. Here comes the point that can make you a various thinker and also a development hacker. Now, you need to think wise, so you could push them in, draw them in OR use beneficial products to obtain them onboard. In short, these 3 "P' s" can do the magic. As far as our understanding is concerned sale funnels can be divided right into three components;
Get Visitors
Trigger Members
Preserve Users
Obtaining Visitors
Getting a Visitor is similar to going on a blind day! The majority of rookies consider they have actually done as they start obtaining visitors. In our sight getting plain visitors is nothing. Currently you have to transform them into participants. Activation could just happen when your gained visitors do something about it, regardless of exactly how big or just how little the bottom line is the development of a relationship in between 2 of you. Transforming site visitors into participants is not a simple point – we agree! Nevertheless, it is not something difficult.
Growth Hacker Marketing Itunes Change Your Visitors
Currently, you have site visitors currently. To puts it simply, you have actually found a means to obtain them to visit your item, yet they will bounce at an extremely high price if you did nothing additionally. Here comes your brand-new objective. Obtain them turned on. Activation is the act of pressing your site visitors to take action. Know! It is not regarding some random go heres as well as there. At the end of the day, you must wind up with some numbers like sales or sign-ups. Adhering to is a list of some activation goals;
Obtain them to check out something
Obtain them to check out a details web page
Obtain their email address
Get them making a purchase
Get them to share something
Get them to engage with a person
( etc.).
Well, a number of our readers will certainly locate some of the objectives as mentioned earlier silly, while others seem genuine as well as appropriate. However, just what we have actually created are some instances. Your particular objectives will depend upon your product completely. If you are involved in retail business than your goals will certainly be completely different compared to the one who is trying to earn money by blogging.
Growth Hacker Marketing Itunes You Earned Them; Now Retain Them.
It may appear that you are currently from the woods, however there is still an additional necessary component, retention. In pure marketing terms, retention is the act of keeping your members stay with your items to such a level that it comes to be habitual. This is since we call them users at this moment. If you kept them preserved compared to they will certainly use your item more frequently. In instance if you are standing for an e-commerce site than the retention can be converted into repeat purchases. Allow us equip an additional example right here. Consider that you are leading a material firm. After that in your case getting people to take in the material you are offering on the normal basis will certainly be retention in your perspective.
Believe us; no hacking growth book will ever before tell you the points we have gone over in this article. In today's ruthless marketing environment the actual success lies in absolutely nothing but a practical advertising and marketing channel.

The Battle of the Boyne
By smacdowall, May 25 2016 01:18PM
Having escaped from his French captors (see previous blog entry) James Stuart will eventually be able to take his place in history as a king almost as bad as his father Charles I.
Be that as it may, last Saturday I took on the role of King James as he sought to overthrow the heretical usurper William at the Boyne.
The game was set up by Gary Kitching and he cunningly had me deploy the day before, thinking that all I had to do was defend the river crossings to my front. When I showed up on the day he had added several tables to my left making it clear that I would have to re-adjust my deployment. Not least because the Williamites had a large column heading off the find new crossings off to that flank.
Unperturbed, I sent off O'Neill's dragoons off to the left to delay the Williamite march while ordering the Duke of Tyrconnel to lead 2/3rds of his cavalry from my right wing to the left. I resisted the temptation to thin out my centre, hoping that could hold off the Williamite flanking column long enough for me to destroy the expected attack on Oldbridge in the centre.
It was a good thing I maintained my strength in the centre as the massed Williamite columns poured across the fords in large numbers.
My men delivered a withering fire and the advancing Williamite battalions faltered.
Supported by the King's lifeguards, the Jacobite foot threw the attacking Huguenots back across the Boyne.
Aided by a cannonade from their heavy batteries the Dutch Blue Guard made it across the river. Despite heavy casualties they drove the defending French from Oldbridge but their success was short-lived. The second line of French counter-attacked and re-took the village.
The fords on my right were lightly held by Lord Dongan's Dragoons backed up by 4 squadrons of cavalry. The dragoons performed valiantly but they lost the firefight and after several devastating volleys they were destroyed.
With the fords now open on my right the Cutts' Regiment moves across the ford.
Meanwhile on my far right flank Tyrconnel has just managed to hold off the Williamites aided by the boggy ground which prevents the latter from deploying into line to make their superior numbers count.
The second line of Williamite foot then attempt to make it across the Boyne. As one of the Williamite commanders remarked "We shall do the same again but with less men." They met a similar fate as the first line. The French Regiment Famechon fighting particluarly valiantly -- capturing one of the Williamite English standards.
William's Dutch Horse swept around Oldbridge riding down the French gunners and routing a unit of French musketeers from the rear of the village
I still had plenty of uncommitted reserves so deployed the Foot Guards, Lifeguards and Reg't Zurlauben off to the left flank to block the Dutch Horse and to move on to reinforce Tyrconnel. William had not fresh troops left to throw into the fray so the day was won.
The true King would shortly be restored along, no doubt, with the true religion!
Ah. I thought James Catholic or one of those one god faiths, well never mind, the game looks good and sounds well fought.
I've played the Asquith/Grant generic scenario version of this several times and always a good game.
Hurrah for the rightful King and down with the heretics
It was a most excellent game cunningly devised by Gary with an awful lot of rather nice figures and terrain. A nail biter down to the finish!
And well done to the Duke of Tyrconnel for holding off the Williamite wing for long enough for us to win in the centre!

Court Case: Zylbert v. Stanford University School of Medicine, Santa Clara Valley Medical Center
Case History
Barbara Zylbert, a former medical student and intern/resident at Stanford University School of Medicine, sued the institution for sex discrimination, retaliation, and breach of contract.
Zylbert was a medical student and intern/resident pursuing post-graduate training and licensure at Stanford University School of Medicine. She excelled in the program, winning fellowships and recognition as an outstanding student. From 1990 to 1991 Zylbert was sexually harassed by Dr. Mark Perlroth, a member of the medical faculty. Perlroth continued to pursue a sexual/romantic relationship with Zylbert, despite her repeated objections. The instructor also threatened her future medical career if she did not submit to his requests.
Zylbert filed a complaint and reported the situation to administrators, hoping to enlist their support. During the early 1990s, Perlroth allegedly harassed several women at the university, and Zylbert hoped that administrators would address the issue once and for all.
In early 1991 Zylbert entered into an agreement with Stanford to provide information for an internal investigation of Perlroth. In exchange for her cooperation and in recognition that her mere need to complain could jeopardize her professional future, Stanford promised Zylbert protection for her future medical education and professional career. Stanford found Perlroth guilty of the allegations by Zylbert and a second medical student and disciplined the professor. In early 1992 Zylbert then entered into a second agreement settling her claims against Perlroth.
Despite this promised protection, Zylbert continued to experience difficulties because of her sexual harassment complaint. Future employers and others prominent in the medical community labeled Zylbert a "troublemaker" and a "litigation risk." In April 1998, the Santa Clara Valley Medical Center (SCVMC) accepted and employed Zylbert in a one-year transitional residency program that is operated by Stanford. Almost immediately after accepting her, SCVMC learned about her sexual harassment complaint at Stanford and attempted to expel Zylbert before she even started, allegedly for fear that she posed a litigation threat. Although Zylbert remained in the program, SCVMC attempted to manufacture false claims against her that would justify her termination and prejudice her future professional opportunities.
Zylbert asked university administrators to honor their protection of her future medical education and training as set forth in the settlement. Instead, she says that Stanford further retaliated by denying her training opportunities at Stanford during her internship year.
Zylbert filed suit in 2000, alleging that Stanford retaliated against her and breached a contractual obligation to protect her from retaliation. In May 2002 Zylbert settled her claims with Stanford under confidential terms and also settled with SCVMC for $50,000.

'I lost Heather': Former Selinger aide tells court she committed fraud because of gambling addiction
Heather Grant-Jury, previously top aide to former premier Greg Selinger, pleaded guilty last year to fraud
A former aide to then-premier Greg Selinger testified in court Friday that she defrauded the union she once worked for out of thousands because she became addicted to gambling.
Heather Grant-Jury testified in a Winnipeg courtroom for the first time Friday after pleading guilty to fraud over $5,000 in January 2018.
"I lost Heather," Grant-Jury said Friday in a Winnipeg courtroom, speaking of her addiction.
"I exhausted our credit card, I drained our accounts. And then, when that was gone, my husband and daughter knew nothing. So in order to put food on the table or buy whatever I needed to … I kept the cash aside and used a [union] credit card."
Grant-Jury admitted to making fraudulent charges on her business credit card while working for the United Food and Commercial Workers union before she was fired in 2016.
Receipts described in court Friday include thousands spent on gift cards, groceries and personal items. Charges include a leather tote, a bracelet and a dollhouse that Grant-Jury said she purchased fraudulently in order to donate to the Christmas Cheer Board.
Crown attorneys Donald Melnyk and Peter Edgett argue she racked up roughly $160,000 in fraudulent charges from May 2011 to December 2015.
But Grant-Jury's lawyer, Zilla Jones, says it was more like $60,000, and Grant-Jury testified Friday the fraud started in 2014.
The proceeding in Manitoba's provincial court is to determine how much money was involved before Justice Ryan Rolston decides on a sentence.
Pattern of suspicious charges, thousands spent at Safeway
Grant-Jury told court she became addicted to gambling in the latter half of 2014, shortly before taking a leave of absence from the union to work as principal secretary for former premier Greg Selinger, after five NDP ministers left the cabinet that year.
She testified the stress of her work for the province intensified her addiction.
Const. Lyndon Stadnyk, the Winnipeg police officer who led the investigation into Grant-Jury, also testified Friday.
Crown attorney Melnyk spent more than an hour poring over receipts with Stadnyk, highlighting thousands of dollars spent on gift cards, groceries and items including housewares, jewelry and two Fitbits.
Stadnyk told court he'd seen a pattern in the charges, where Grant-Jury would make multiple purchases within minutes of each other and file them under separate accounting codes.
In one case, the receipts show Grant-Jury spent more than $1,200 in four minutes, spread over three separate transactions.
Grant-Jury told court some of the purchases the Crown called fraudulent were actually legitimate. The Fitbits, for example, were for a gift basket for the workplace, she testified, and hundreds spent at a picture frame store went to art framed for the union's training centre.
Beauty products, lottery tickets among items purchased
Court heard last year that a union accountant first raised concerns in late 2015, when Grant-Jury returned to the union from her secondment to Selinger and filed incomplete receipts. Further digging found thousands in suspicious charges on a union business credit card.
Grant-Jury and another employee, whose credit card she had briefly borrowed, were suspended as the union conducted a forensic audit. Grant-Jury was fired in January 2016 and the union brought the issue to police and Selinger.
Selinger's chief of staff called for Grant-Jury to resign from the NDP re-election planning committee and to vacate her seat on the board of Manitoba Public Insurance.
The audit revealed more than 300 expenses flagged as suspicious, including 16 Safeway purchases totalling over $4,000 in June and almost $7,000 in in March of 2014 alone, court heard last year. Many of the Safeway charges appeared to be for personal groceries and hundreds of dollars in gift cards, court heard.
Other transactions in 2015 were for beauty products, purchases from a book store, hundreds of dollars at a Brandon-based gift shop and a $666 charge at a picture frame store, court heard last year. Another payment at Foodfare turned out to be for lottery tickets and cigarettes.
The hearing will resume on March 21.

News From NAMB: December 22, 2017
United Wholesale (Advertisement)
UWM Gives You The Lowest PMI
Only UWM combines the lowest LPMI with some of the best BPMI pricing anywhere to give you Elite M.I. — which means you only have to go one place to deliver a lower payment for your 640+ FICO borrowers. And since Elite M.I. is also Instant M.I., UWM will save you 3–7 days on every loan by eliminating the second underwrite. And, of course, no overlays. Elite M.I. won't show up in pricing engines, so price out a loan in UWM's Easy Qualifier (EQ) today. Find out more at UWM.com.
MGIC Introduces Split PMI Premiums
Treasury and FHFA Strike Deal On GSEs Retaining Capital
Hurricanes Could Prevent Any FHA Premium Cut
Rates are low, employment is strong, and people want to buy. All of those bode well for the next few years in housing. Fannie Mae projects mortgage rates will not be affected much by all of the Fed rate hikes. Fannie's latest attempt at the crystal ball says we will only slow slightly in 2018 due to fewer refis but 2019 will show continued growth in home sales and new construction. They expect rates to stay in low 4s all the way through 2019.
Freddie Mac has introduced a very aggressive policy on income that is proposed but will not be received by settlement. Freddie will allow no-cash-out refinances now instead of just purchases.
They will also permit using a future salary increase with the Borrower's current employer as qualifying income as long as there is explicit proof.
Government Shutdown Looms
There have been so many threats of shutdowns, no one really expects one to happen. The latest shutdown will occur Friday night at midnight if the House and Senate can't agree to keep things running. Congress is so caught up in the tax reform euphoria that we just may have a shutdown for a few days. The House is expected to vote today but word is the Senate Democrats will not approve what the House is trying to pass. That would stop flood policies and USDA but would little to no effect on FHA, VA, and the GSEs.
In previous years, fraud was stemming from those inside the industry. While that is still there, we are facing a tidal wave of fraud attempts from outside the industry. Mortgage companies and title companies are being inundated with fake emails attempting to unleash malicious code that the perpetrators can use to steal money. Borrowers are also being targeted when they can be identified in one of these attacks. One of the best ways to identify if an email is fraudulent is when it lacks both the borrower name or property address. Ideally, it should contain both. Just because it has a legitimate name of a person or company and even their logo isn't enough. Don't hesitate to send a reply email if in doubt asking for further conformation information. NEVER open an attachment or click on a link unless you are 100% confident the email is legit.
According to Attom Data Solutions, median down payment for the third quarter was $20,000, up from $18,161 in the previous quarter and way up from $14,400 in Q3 2016 to a new high as far back as data is available, Q1 2000. That is about 7.6%, a strange figure. It is unknown if that was due to Fannie and Freddie reworking their algorithms in DU and LP or people simply had more to put down. One should note that "median" is simply the middle value. Average, or "mean" down payment, was much higher. One must question why "mode" is not used for this analysis, which is the most common amount put down.
Mortgage Bank VP Conned Warehouse Banks out of $12 Million
It seems unfathomable that a warehouse bank could be swindled into advancing money on loans that were being funded by other warehouse lenders. But, John Reimer, a Vice President as now defunct First Republic managed to pull that off, the U.S. Attorney for New York says. They say he even kept funding for mortgages that never closed. All of this happened back in 2008 and 2009 so we would hope warehouse lenders have become more savvy since then.
As Congress, buoyed by its success with tax reform, turns its attention to Fannie and Freddie reform, some really difficult questions arise. The plan floated by Senator Bob Corker, who is retiring, would create similar entities to the GSEs with a government guarantee. He believes if one or more of those fails, it wouldn't be big enough to collapse the industry. This makes absolutely no sense. If we faced a market collapse like the one in 2008, they likely all would fail. Next, what makes anyone think these "competitors" would operate as efficiently as Fannie and Freddie since they would have to create the same operating systems as the GSEs spread over a smaller base? Then, there is the fact that there may not be people willing to compete against Fannie and Freddie. They have years and billions invested in technology and infrastructure, not to mention specific exemptions from laws that contribute to their profitability. The same is true of FHA. While PMI companies are supposed to be competitors to FHA, they really aren't. FHA essentially has no competition, perhaps other than Fannie and Freddie.
Two Chicago area brothers, Steven and Michael Garcia, operated American Financial Mortgage Services Inc., a licensed mortgage brokerage in Schaumburg, Illinois. The U.S. Attorney's office is charging that the Garcias bypassed FHA regulations by controlling a purportedly independent appraisal firm – Residential Appraisal Management Company Inc. – through a nominee. The office says the Garcias used RAMCI to steer appraisals to hand-picked appraisers, including a relative of the Garcias, who would provide an appraised value sufficient to support a proposed loan, while falsely representing to lenders that RAMCI selected appraisers based on experience and skill. The question here is, "Are the lenders being reviewed by HUD for failing to follow FHA rules on Appraiser Independence?" Also, "What about the appraisers?"
Housing Starts Rise, Builder Optimism Soars
Housing starts rose in November 3.3% over October. The bigger story is that single-family starts were up 5.3% and 12.9% over this time last year. The NAHB builder confidence index, jumped to 74 in December, the highest report since July 1999, over 18 years ago. Adding to strong employment and low interest rate, builder confidence has improved on hopes of an improved regulatory environment that has been choking residential construction. In tangible terms, home buyer traffic rose eight points, showing that demand for housing is on the rise. We should see strong new home sales.
Guaranteed Rate to Get Major Cash Infusion
CFPB Interim Director Lawsuit Goes to Court
The suit by Leandra English, who claims to be rightful heir to Richard Cordray, will be heard in federal court tomorrow. There are tons of amicus filings to wade through, even from Dodd and Frank who wrote the law. Can you imagine anything getting done at the CFPB while this is going on? You dare not take sides for fear of who will be in charge tomorrow. It may take a few weeks for the judge to rule although he is expected to side with the President.
Another "Independent" Dodd/Frank Agency May Bite the Dust
Let's be honest, how many of us have ever heard of the Office of Financial Research? It was supposed to gather data for agencies like Treasury, FSOC, and the CFPB to determine how the financial system was performing. They were chastised by GAO for late reports and the CFPB decided to gather its own data. Congress is now looking into whether to just roll the function into Treasury.
For those who missed the blurb last week about a new site for consumers to find a mortgage, we have an update. The site, which is provided by Scotsman Guide, is free of charge to both originators and consumers. We were assured that, although it is named askalender.com, brokers can also post to the site. Nothing beats free. If you get one deal a year, you made a billion percent return on your advertising dollar.
The DOW is closing in on 25,000 due to the corporate tax cut in the recently passed tax reform bill. Many believe it will continue upward, sending money into equities rather than bonds. Rates have been taking about a ½ point hit so far this week on all of the good economic news and the rally in stocks.

When I (Krista) was growing up, I had a collection of Santa figures. I have hardly ever collected anything, but I liked my Santa's. Each year my mom would buy me one or two new Santa's from a department store. The Santa's were special because they were from different countries. For example, the Santa for the US was (and still is) called "Santa Claus" and in the box there was a little booklet that described the Christmas tradition of Santa Claus in the American culture. I don't remember exactly how many I collected or even where they are now (if I had to guess, I'd say in my parent's attic in Texas). But I do remember that what I loved most was learning the story of the Christmas tradition in other countries.
We have some good friends who are from Holland and they recently shared their Christmas traditions with us. We went over to their apartment to watch their three little girls so the parents could go out. When we arrived the girls were putting their little boots next to the door and putting a carrot in each boot.
The family explained to us that the 5th of December is when Christmas is typically celebrated in Holland in addition to the 25th. Tradition says that Sinterklaas sails all the way from Spain to the Netherlands. He arrives on a big boat in a different dutch port each year. He wears red bishop robes and when he comes ashore all the church-bells ring. During the night, he visits the home of each child and may leave presents for them. The children leave carrots or hay in their boots for his horse and maybe candy or a cookie for him in the kitchen.
Hadassah is the youngest of the three little girls and might have had to borrow a carrot from one of her sisters…

The hotel distills the best of Hanoi � colonial accents in the architecture and theatrical interior design of jewel tone accents and classic opera motifs juxtaposed with contemporary spaces for dining and entertaining. All the glamour and anticipation of a night at the opera are captured within every experience, from the decadence of the guestrooms to the opulence of Satine � the fine dining restaurant.

The Importance of Guitar
When you choose learning how to play the guitar and turning into a self taught guitarist, you want to take into careful consideration the method by which you will teach yourself to play the guitar. Obviously, you are going to require a guitar. You see, the guitar can be quite tough to play competently at first whenever you are a raw guitar beginner. Playing a guitar is something which you can do if you'd like to learn something new, the music and the tunes you will learn will let you connect and love the music even more and therefore as a beginner it's good that you look for the bluegrass guitar licks so that you're able to learn the fundamentals and perhaps come to be a pro with time. Virtually everyone is able to learn to play acoustic guitar. The acoustic guitar is a good place to begin if you prefer to understand how to play guitar. As you start to learn to play acoustic guitar, your ability is not going to be quite as polished and your very first guitar will almost certainly take a little abuse since it's still true that you have to learn much about playing strategies.
The simplest way to learn guitar is to adhere to a detailed method. Understanding how to tune a guitar is critical in the learning procedure and it's so easy to master. The Lead guitar may be called a solo guitar. Lead guitar as its name suggests is the fashion of guitar that takes the principal form in a guitar concert.
Introducing Guitar
If you are only starting to play guitar it can be quite confusing to understand where to begin, and what things to play next. If you're curious about playing guitar, or in case you used to play and wish to get back into it, you're in the appropriate place. Guitar is the simplest to play stringed musical instrument. Well, if you're planning to learn electric guitar, here are my simple words which will help you. Learning how to play the electric guitar can be a fantastic experience and when you succeed you will feel great having the ability to play all types of music. In reality it is best to use a used guitar.
If you're intent on playing the guitar then locate a neighborhood tutor who teaches groups. When you learn to play guitar there are lots of new things for you to have a grasp on. Strumming a guitar may be hard at first. When you first start out to learn to play acoustic guitar, you'll probably see that your fingers hurt. Acoustic guitar is easily the most important instrument which you will need. After you learn to play acoustic guitar, expressing yourself using the music you adore can be accomplished.
The perfect way to learn the guitar is to have some lessons that will steer you in what you ought to do so you can become much better. The classical guitar is a favorite selection and it possesses a wide range so far as sound and repertoire. If you would like to learn how to play the classical guitar you might think about taking acoustic guitar lessons. The classical guitar is distinguished by its extensive fingerpicking technique, you should be certain your acoustic guitar lessons are taught by somebody acquainted with the classical guitar. Learning how to play the guitar is great. When you begin to play guitar, you'll also not leave the opportunity to try your favourite track! Another big reason folks wish to play the bass guitar is due to their favourite bands.
If you are able to, try to discover lessons, DVD's or websites which arrive with audio and video so that it is possible to see and hear the new exercises and techniques. There are lots of ways it is possible to take guitar lessons. There are as many unique approaches to have a guitar lesson because there are teachers and students. Generally speaking, you will also discover that paid online guitar lessons have a good deal better angles where you are able to actually observe the hands of whoever is teaching you and where the lighting and sound are adjusted right. Online guitar lessons are offered at a fair cost and are simple to follow along with. They may be the best for you. Online acoustic guitar lessons can be hard to locate online if you are searching for high quality lessons.
Guitar lessons can help in boosting your memory power and capability. Possessing the lessons for you to learn the guitar is the quickest way which you will get to learn the guitar and so it's going to be easier as you'll have someone that will aid you with your needs after you cover the guitar lessons. Each acoustic guitar lesson is available to you so that it is possible to return and repeat the lesson or review it should you feel it's necessary. Private guitar lessons may have a genuine fantastic influence on your kid. Group guitar lessons are a genuine life situation. To improve quickly and learn a variety of skills, they are hard to beat. They give people the opportunity to learn from others.
Taking guitar lessons is important when you've got zero audio knowledge. So you are likely beginning to believe that bass guitar lessons will be a really excellent idea and you'd be right. Guitar lessons for absolute beginners may begin with strumming, as it is simpler for beginners. Free guitar lessons for beginners are fantastic, but they could only teach you the fundamentals of guitar playing.

I've been busy cooking this Christmas so I have a few recipes here that I wanna share with you.
The first one is this -- BULALO. It's another Filipino favorite. A lot of families in different areas in the country have built their life and made a life out of this recipe. In Clark, where I work, there's a place called 'BULALUHAN' that is being managed by an Air Force retiree and yeah, people flock there.
At home,we enjoy this recipe every now and then but it is served specially during Christmas and New Year together with Hot Chocolate Batirol. :) It's so simple yet so succulent. But be careful with the marrow and cholesterol. LOL.
1 kilo Beef
1 kilo special cut beef marrow
2 onions, cut into halves
Onion leeks, thinly sliced
msg (optional)
1. Boil beef meat and marrow till tender with lots of water.
(Option: Refrigerate overnight or less after it cools down and when the fat settles on top, scrape it off. Less cholesterol hehe. Heat it up).
2. Add salt, msg, onions, onion leeks and pepper.
3. Serve hot.
Happy Cooking,

Duke Garwood Takes You On A Spiritual Journey In "Garden Of Ashes"/
It's often said that meditation is the best way to relieve your stress and be happier. Listening to Duke Garwood's new album Garden Of Ashes may be a bit better than that, its dark and moody textures giving your mind calm and warm feelings.
Nothing about Garden Of Ashes is particularly driven, and that adds to its purpose. Throughout the record, you're met with Garwood's bluesy, soft, warm knowing voice that chants above spacious, moody guitars. The graceful flow of 'Blue,' for example, shows the album's true character in a pure form. The warmth of the song's slow movement says all that it needs to.
The album's starting song 'Coldblooded' sets the momentum for the record on the right note. The chill vibe the song has paired with Garwood's retrospective delivery gives it a very light drive that's still a solid backbone without being too overbearing. The song is reprised at the end of the record in 'Coldblooded The Return,' a much slower and dramatic song. This iteration of the track is much more fitting than its more driven counterpart. Garwood's voice is given time to fully say its piece. The guitar riff moodily moves along while choirs back it up gracefully - it's the perfect end to this slowmoving record.
There admittedly aren't a lot of impressive moments on Garden Of Ashes, but its laidback atmosphere does provide for a pleasing listen. That's not to say there aren't some cool moments - title track 'Garden Of Ashes' starts off as darkly and moodily as other tracks, but there's something more in Garwood's voice in this track. It's almost as if his voice has more conviction in it. The best part of this track isn't the ghastly nature of Garwood's voice but it's spiraling, glimmering ending. It feels mysterious but still doesn't lose the mood of the record. The building drive of 'Move On Softly' gives the record a brief moment of energy, which also refreshes the album's sound a bit.
Don't meditate if you need to relieve yourself of stress. Instead, go on a spiritual journey with Duke Garwood's Garden Of Ashes. It's not an album that offers you something too interesting, but rather it serves to relax you and helps you groove along to the sounds of the spirits. Lay back with a drink and enjoy.
Favorite Tracks: Coldblooded The Return. Garden Of Ashes, Move On Softly, Days Gone Old
Least Favorite Track: Sleep
Rating: 80 / 100

I've ordered it by the way.
I'm cracking on with my Rudiments, Something i can do whilst not at my kit.

I play lead Drums
Mark, when I restarted my playing about a year or so ago,one of the 1st things that I did was realize that the rudiments were the key for me to be able to get some of my chops back. After browsing the web for hours I stumbled upon Drumchat and the some of the offerings they had, including some free lessons and such. I made copies of the rudiments and was off to the races so to speak. Everyone has their own opinion on how to use rudiments in their playing, but in my own humble opinion, rudiments are all about discipline. The best comparison I can give is with the martial arts in that alot of what you do is that the physical part follows the mental part. You start slow,your mind telling you what to do as your hands follow that lead. Then, over time, it becomes more automatic, more physical muscle memory, getting to the point that it's second nature for you to do paradiddles in 32nd notes. (Gawd, I jus love dem paradiddles) It's all about discipline and control for me, and using the rudiments to make yourself a more complete drummer, musician and artist.
I almost don't dare to draw attention to this little book because in one of my first posts I got busted for inserting a link to the commercial site. However, IMO I think this book deserves more publicity. It comes with a CD and contains 33 play along pieces each featuring a particular rudiment (in two different tempi). The tunes are played on two pipes and they are extremely nice. It is much fun to practice your rudiments in this way. Not just banging away your paradiddles on the pad but practice them in a more musical way. Only drawback is that the book is published in German (it doesn't matter; if you can read notes, you will be ok) and might be hard to get overseas.
The book is called "33 Uebungen fuer 2 Piccolo-Floeten und Snare Drum" (33 excercises for 2 pipes and snare drum) by Juergen Peiffer. ISBN 3-937303-04-9
Drums and Pipes.jpg
That's a good reference book to use while learning your rudiments. However, since I played rudimental/marching percussion for the 4 or 5 years, I found the book Rudimental Logic by Bill Bachman very helpful to me.
It focuses on the standard 40 rudiments and breaks each one down and shows how to incorporate it into your playing. It even goes into more modern hybrid rudiments.
While this book is aimed towards rudimental/marching percussionists, the information that it offers can easily be transferred over to drum set playing.

Hey there,
It's good to check out heaps of different books from different authors, as they all give their own perspectives on rudiments and the approach to them. I'd recommend practising rudiments primarily on a dead surface like a pillow or even your leg. And make sure they are clean. This means when you apply them to the kit, they sound fluent, clear and they are easy to pull off with the rebound of the skins/ cymbals.
Anyway, you should DEFINITELY check out a book called "The All-American Drummer" by Charlie Wilcoxon. It has 150 rudimental solos and it just brings all the rudiments together. For me it was the step between knowing the rudiments and then mixing and applying them all around the kit.
I am VERY new to drumming.
I got the Drum Rudiment System from Railroad Media. A bit hard to follow for someone so novice, but I have learned quite a few things.
Admittedly, learning simple things such as single and double stroke rolls, xfill, paradiddle has kept me inspired enough to keep trying.
I work on those every practice session.

DSD March 27, 2018: "Hold On" - Duets and Stuff
Shaun Cordingley
Welcome to the "Daily Song Drop": theguysfrom.com's song of the day feature where our resident indie music writer and former DJ Shaun Cordingley features a song every weekday that he feels you need to hear. If you enjoy the track, please share it, so we can keep on talking about great new music
Hold On - Duets and Stuff
Today on the Daily Song Drop we have the latest single from Swedish indie pop duo Duets and Stuff called "Hold On" which you can check out below:
"Hold On" has a really cool, shoegaze vibe going for it which Duets and Stuff establish right away, thanks in large part to its' hazy soundscape which accentuates the mellow vocals. I appreciate the fact that it seems like the instrumental flourishes in the track are marimba as well, as it does lighten the feeling of "Hold On" rather than allowing it to lapse into a melancholic sound that would drag the song down a bit. It's in the little things that this song shines, as they have a track that feels simple at first, but as you listen to it, "Hold On" unfurls itself, through little notes, a quick guitar, or an ever-so-slight change in tempo to create an engaging, and enjoyable indie pop track.
If this is your first introduction to Duets and Stuff, be sure to check out their other, marimba laced indie pop track "Serve Somebody" which is also perfect for just kicking back to this spring (and in my case, watching the world melt).
The February 2018 DSD Apple Music List and February 2018 DSD Spotify List are available! These ones where admittedly tricky as it is a short month (meaning there are fewer songs for me to build the set with), and we are also missing a couple from the lists: "Coward's Castle" by Monti and "highr" by buuzey. However, I have to say that I do enjoy the playlist this month, and I hope you will check it out (at the links above), and share it with your friends!
If you're looking for any of our past playlists, be sure to check out a Friday DSD feature, or search for theguysfrom on either Apple Music or Spotify!
See you tomorrow for our next Daily Song Drop!
-S (@Shauncord)
The Guys From do not hold the rights to any "Daily Song Drop" songs, it is more our hope to expose our readers to new and different music that we are enjoying, or re-expose them to artists they may have forgotten about.
Above the description of the song will be the song name, followed by the artists' name linked to their website, so you can fall down the rabbit hole, finding and supporting what you dig.

Nissan GT Academy 2013 to be the biggest yet
* Online competition phase to be run on exclusive Gran Turismo®6 demo
* Become the next 'Nismo Athlete' to race for Nissan
London & Paris 15 May, 2013: Nissan and Sony Computer Entertainment have revealed that the innovative GT Academy competition will return for a fifth season. GT Academy 2013 will be the biggest yet, with more countries than ever before participating and the online gaming element of the competition set to be run in July on a demo of the hotly-anticipated Gran Turismo®6 game exclusively on PlayStation®3.
Since its inception in 2008, the highly acclaimed virtual-to-reality competition has attracted over two million entries, with gamers and motor sport fans battling it out on Gran Turismo for the chance to become real Nissan racing drivers. Six former winners of the competition, which now runs in Europe, the USA, Germany, Russia, and the Middle East and South Africa, are now Nismo Athletes competing in top-level motor sport on behalf of Nissan.
Nissan's Director of Global Motorsport, Darren Cox, revealed the plans for GT Academy 2013 today. Speaking at the famous Silverstone Circuit, during an event at which the latest version of the famous Gran Turismo game was announced, he said: "Every year of GT Academy has provided excitement and firsts, and 2013 will be no exception. The selection process and Driver Development Programme are now so robust that we are turning out some genuinely fast racing drivers. At its core GT Academy remains a highly-accessible route into professional motor racing for people who would otherwise not have the opportunity. Unearthing genuine driving talent from the world of gaming is a real example of digital age performance and the innovation for which Nissan is famous. We are predicting that more people than ever will enter the competition this year on the stunning new GT6 demo."
Kazunori Yamauchi, President of Polyphony Digital, explained: "GT Academy is a fitting platform for the Gran Turismo community to preview GT6 for the first time, as we aim to bring the worlds of virtual and reality closer than ever. We are very proud of this partnership with Nissan, and we have aimed to make a very appealing and accessible competition featuring a range of their cars. The challenges, even at this early stage of the competition, are designed to improve people's race craft before they even make it to driving real cars. We have also incorporated the Silverstone circuit for the first time in Gran Turismo. This should ensure that competitors will arrive at Race Camp better prepared than ever."
Winning GT Academy is a passport to a career in global motorsport, with Lucas Ordoñez (2008 winner) and Jann Mardenborough (2011 winner) racing at the 2013 Le Mans 24 Hours for Nissan Nismo. The latest graduates Wolfgang Reip from Belgium (European winner), Mark Shulzhitskiy (Russian winner), Steve Doherty (US winner) and Peter Pyzera (German winner) are currently competing in the Blancpain Endurance Series in a pair of Nissan GT-R Nismo GT3 cars. With the online qualification rounds offering a sneak preview of GT6, and the Nismo athletes blazing a trail in motorsport, the entry levels for this year's motorsport talent-spotting contest are expected to reach an all time high.
The format of GT Academy sees the fastest PlayStation gamers from each country join winners from a number of live events to compete in their respective National Finals. The action will then make the transition from the virtual world to real Nissan sports cars when the winners of each National competition are invited to take part in the intense international final at Silverstone Circuit, now the established home of the GT Academy Race Camp.
The winners of each of the GT Academy competitions will then be put through an incredibly intensive and thorough Driver Development Programme, rated among the best in the world, in order to qualify for the ultimate competition prize – a full season racing a Nissan GT-R GT3 Nismo in a top-level championship.
Details of how to enter GT Academy 2013 can be found on various platforms including: www.facebook.com/GTAcademy, http://eu.gran-turismo.com and www.twitter.com/GTAcademy
