From Joseph Wharton, Jr. to Abigail Smith Adams, 4 June 1798
From the favorable attention you were pleased to pay to me, while relating to you the holy vision, that appeared to my friend West's father in Chester County, relative to the awfull visitation of God to our native land, and the exalted station she is here after to hold, paramount to all Nations which have previously, or do now exist, as well as the great denunciations against the European World, now miserably fullfilling; I have presumed on your benignity, to sollicit your kind interference with the President, to grant a favorable compliance to the Prayer of my Petition to him, of this date. May the superintendence of Divine Providence endue our Ruler with wisdom and fortitude, to resist the unjust and unnatural Demands of France! and thereby Peace and national Liberty be restored to the United States, and "our Native Countrey, become an Assylum for the virtuously oppressed of the Old World."—

Secrets of the Heart by Jannifer Hoffman
Review from, and Copyright
held by, Night Owl Romance
Heart Score: 4/5
Hunter Douglas lives in New York City where he does research for people wanting to find their roots. Several years ago he did a small two week
job for Brenda Casey so he was surprised when the police called him to inform him of her death. He was also asked to escort Brenda's two children to her sister, Nicole
Anderson in Minnesota. Reluctantly, he agrees but when he sees the oldest child, Shanna, he is shocked by how much she reminds him of his sister, Diana, and wonders
given her age, if she might be his.
Nicole Anderson designs and makes period costumes out of her grandmother's large Victorian house. When she gets a call at midnight from a
stranger to tell her about a sister she's never heard of dying, she assumes it's a joke. As far as she knows she has no sister, only a younger brother, and has no desire
to take custody of someone's children.
This suits Hunter fine as he had already decided that he'd like to keep them but he'll need paperwork signed by Nicole so he can. He and the
children fly out to MN to meet Nicole and instead of the quick turn around trip Hunter envisioned, he ends up staying a while longer. At first, it was to find the
suitcase someone stole out of the truck of his car. This suitcase had all the paperwork from Brenda and a few remembrances. As they look for this beaten up suitcase,
Hunter and Nicole start to form a friendship. What started out as just a meeting to sign papers is developing into something more.
As Hunter can do much of his work in MN, he stays to see if he can figure out a mystery that is unfolding. Nicole is the exact duplicate of her
sister. She swears that her father would have never had an affair so what is the connection between Nicole's father and Brenda's mother? And why would anyone steal a
beat up suitcase? When someone starts watching Nicole's house, who are they looking for and why?
The multiple mysteries in this book are fun and confusing. Nicole's grandmother gives hints to the answers to some but trying to figure them out
could give you a headache! She never comes right out and says where she's talking about.....the answer is between the date and the heart? Hunter gets his company
involved as he tries to piece together who these two women really are that look so much alike. It's more than family resemblance but what can it be? And why can't the
state of MN find Nicole's birth certificate and why does Brenda have a death certificate saying she died when she was 3 weeks old? As more questions get answered, more
appear and it seems nothing is as it looks at first glance.
The characters are fun and interesting. Nicole has set up a workshop at home. She has lots of costumes and 3 employees. When giving a tour, they all
dress up and even get the kids and Hunter to join them. Nicole's grandmother loves to do puzzles and pretends to read palms. Yet, she's fairly accurate with her palm
reading so is she just pretending? Hunter is a city boy who realizes that he's out of his element in the country. He has no problems letting Nicole lead the way while
traveling through the wilds of MN but look out in the city! Even the secondary characters are fun like Nicole's gay employee who is the brother of the local sheriff. He
arrives to work by boat every day and teaches the kids how to fish. Even Nicole's younger brother makes an appearance and isn't too sure about this guy in his sister's
With all the twists and turns of this book's plot, you would think it would be hard to follow. It's not. I found everything was fairly logical to follow
and by the end all the ends were neatly tied together. A few things could be figured out before the end but others were a complete surprise. It kept me interested from
start to finish and I'm ready for another book concerning this strange but interesting group of characters.
Review from, and Copyright held by, Book Binge
Review by Rowena, Book Binge Reviews, 4 out of 5 stars
Okay, so Hunter Douglas was put in charge of delivering Brenda Casey's children to her half sister in Minnesota after Brenda dies. Hunter knows Brenda because
he's a PI and she hired him to find her biological father about 7 years ago. So Brenda's dead and she's left behind two kids, Shanna and Kyle. Brenda hasn't lived a very
straight and narrow kind of life, she was a little loosy goosy and she had a very brief affair with Hunter after he found her father for her and that information gets Hunter
into a lot of trouble with Nicole.
Now Nicole is the half sister that Brenda never knew she had. She found out about her biological father and found out about her sister and brother. The
intricacies of the whole plot and Brenda's plan was executed well in this story and I enjoyed watching everything unfold. There's a lot going on in this story with Nicole
finding out she's got a long lost sister that is dead and she's the primary caretaker of two small children that are her blood relatives.
It's a whole lot to find out that your Dad might have possibly had an affair while he was still married to your mother, especially when you find out about your
dad's other family after he's already gone and dead and Nicole handled it pretty well. She reacted as any normal person would react to having your entire world collapse around
you and I ended up really liking her. The problem with Nicole's character for me, was that in the beginning of the story when we first meet Nicole, I couldn't really see what
was so special about her. My first impression of Nicole was that she was forgettable. She was one of those heroines that serves her purpose in this story but I'm probably going
to forget everything about her by next week...but as the story progressed, so did my appreciation of Nicole Anderson.
Do you guys remember this email story:
Women are like apples on trees. The best ones are at the top of the tree. Most men don't want to reach for the good ones because they
are afraid of falling and getting hurt. Instead, they sometimes take the apples from the ground that aren't as good, but easy. The apples at the top think something is wrong
with them, when in reality, they're amazing. They just have to wait for the right man to come along, the one who is brave enough to climb all the way to the top of the tree.
Nicole was one of the apples at the top of the tree, at first glance you wouldn't see how amazing she is but the more you got to know her, the more you
got....her. She was great with the kids and she was good with Hunter. She found out a whole lot about herself that she never knew and she faced down her demons with Hunter's
help and I just found her character to be a delight.
Hunter, on the other hand, I loved immediately. How can you not love a man who fell in love with two kids that were thrown into his lap and wanted to do right by
them? Hunter was a hero who got under my skin (in a good way) right from the jump. I loved his relationship with the people around. The relationship he formed with Shanna and
Kyle was what really sealed his fate as my favorite character of the entire story; I just got all gooey inside for him because he loved those kids and he was going to give them
the kind of home they should've had all along if Nicole didn't take them. He wanted those kids and I heart him for that. Hunter's relationship with his family and with his
assistant made him that much more awesome. I loved reading his conversations with Virgil and Quint and I just really enjoyed him. I loved how gentle he was with Nicole and I
loved his role in helping her live again. There were times aplenty in the book where I was thinking, AWWWWWWW after he did something sweet and I just really, really heart him.
My one complaint with him was, Hunter, Hunter, Hunter....why oh why did you ever think it was a good idea to keep your big secret from Nicole? He took his sweet ol' time
telling her about the secret that when she finally found out about it, I was sooooo mad at him. I wanted to smack him upside his head but all's well that ends well and this
story ended well.
As a whole, the story was enjoyable but there was a lot going on, a lot that you had to keep up with and then there was the whole coincidence thing with Billy
that I could've done without because it reeked of overkill but even with all of that stuff going on, I enjoyed this book and cannot wait to finish this series out; Quint's
story here I come. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone looking for a great story that you can sink your teeth into and figure out. This was a good one.
Review by Laura Breck
This book lives up to its name — the characters possess so many fascinating secrets, that every chapter will have the reader blinking in surprise. Nicole Anderson
doesn't know she had a sister until a stranger from New York calls to tell her, her sister is dead, and she is now the guardian of her six-year-old niece and four-year-old
The stranger, Hunter Douglas, had been involved with the deceased sister seven years prior. Although he hasn't seen her since, she left instructions in her
suicide note for him to bring her children to Minnesota to live with her sister. But Nicole's reaction is anything but familial.
Hunter arrives with the children and finds Nicole living a celibate life in the huge, old lake house she inherited from her grandparents. He vows to stay with the
children until he's sure Nicole wants them because if she doesn't, he'll adopt them, for reasons of his own. When Nicole's maternal instinct suddenly kicks-in, Hunter sees in
her the kind of woman he never thought he'd find.
Then things get complicated. Nicole's grandmother is the only living relative who can explain how she could have a sister, but the elderly woman talks in riddles,
confusing things further. Hunter is a private investigator and uses his resources in New York to research the sister's past, but as they uncover pieces of the puzzle, even more
questions arise.
Nicole and Hunter succumb to temptation and begin a steamy romance. But it's interrupted by a triple threat: a sinister man from the deceased sister's past
appears, a mystery surrounding Nicole's birth certificate surfaces, and one of Hunter's secrets is revealed and proves too shocking for Nicole to accept.
Jannifer Hoffman writes a touching and steamy romance wrapped inside a brain-teaser of a mystery. The clues are sprinkled throughout the book, but any mystery
romance reader will love the challenge of solving this intricate puzzle.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- We're just one day away from the official release of what could be the best Android smartphone ever made. On Wednesday, the floodgates will open for reviewers to tell everyone what they think of the Nexus 6, the latest in Google's(GOOG) - Get Report flagship series of phones and tablets.
Launched in 2010, Google's Nexus series of phones always contain the best hardware available and the latest edition of the Android operating system. Starting with the Nexus One, these phones (and tablets) have been showcases for Android technological breakthroughs. They're coveted by Android fans who appreciate that the devices run well and use a "pure version" of the operating system with little or no "bloatware" apps that are often added by phone carriers. Pure, simple and fast.
The new Nexus 6 is no exception. Although Google wants reviewers to wait until Wednesday to give their "in-depth" opinions of the phone, there are a lot of things we can tell you right now. First, the phone was designed by Google in cooperation with Motorola Mobility, a former division of Google that is now part of Lenovo (LNVGY) . Engineers took a lot of design and operational cues from Motorola's fabulous, second-generation Moto X as well as Verizon's(VZ) - Get Report version of the X, called the Droid Turbo. That's a very good start.
Google shares were changing hands up $2.99, or 0.6%, at $550.48 late Tuesday morning in New York.
As you might have guessed from the name, the Nexus 6 has display around 6 inches (5.96 inches, to be exact), which gives it the unofficial classification of a "phablet." The screen is capable of displaying a dazzling 2560 by 1440 pixels. Inside is a very fast Qualcomm(QCOM) - Get Report processor mated to 3 GB of RAM and either 32 GB or 64 GB of storage. The rear and front-facing cameras are 13 and 2 megapixels, respectively. The big battery uses Qualcomm's Quick Charge technology offering as much as 6 hours of battery life after 15 minutes of plug-in time. Phablets are big cell phones, and the Nexus 6 is no exception.
In addition to all the new hardware, the Nexus 6 is the first smartphone to come loaded with the Android 5.0 (Lollipop). Many other phones will receive Android 5.0 as an update in the next few weeks. Lollipop is a huge rewrite of the software and changes the way the system looks, feels and works. Expect to find lots of improvements, big and small, and a slight learning curve as well. We'll have a lot more to say in our full review. Together with the new Nexus 6 hardware, Android 5.0 lays the groundwork for the next generation of Google smartphones.
Nexus 6 will have huge competition. First and foremost there's Apple's(AAPL) - Get Report new iPhone 6 line of devices. The iPhone 6 is one of the few great new smartphones with a screen smaller than 5 inches, but its big brother, the iPhone 6 Plus, is the direct competitor for the Nexus 6. Both are big, bold hardware designs. Both run on new, state-of-the-art operating systems. Both are cutting-edge devices. It should be an interesting battle.
Samsung's (SSNLF) entries are the Galaxy S5 and the recently released Galaxy Note 4 "phablet." Both are still very popular devices. Samsung also has a new phablet design called Galaxy Note Edge with specifications similar to the Note 4 and a new type of wrap-around touchscreen design with bits of information displayed on the screen edge.
Other terrific top-end models such as LG's G3, HTC's One (M8) and some lower-priced, higher-end phones from Chinese manufacturers (such as the hard-to-find OnePlus One) are also direct competition for the new Nexus model.
Out of the box, Nexus 6 will be capable of operating on all the 2G, 3G, 4G and LTE networks from all the major U.S. carriers. Insert the proper SIM card and the phone will know what to do. You can expect to see Verizon, AT&T(T) - Get Report , T-Mobile US(TMUS) - Get Report , Sprint(S) - Get Report and U.S. Cellular(USM) - Get Report offering the Nexus 6 for sale as well as Best Buy(BBY) - Get Report retail shops and the online Google Play store. Prices for unlocked Nexus 6 devices range from $649 for the 32 GB and $699 for the 64 GB models.
There are rumors that the Nexus 6 might be in short supply in the short term. But that's nothing new. New Nexus models have historically been in short supply upon release. When all the full reviews are published Wednesday, hopeful buyers might just find that the Nexus 6 will be in short supply for a lot longer period of time.

What is Fringe Benefit Tax? Cash benefits that you give to your employees (such as salary or wages) are taxed through income tax, non-cash benefits are not taxed.
Fringe Benefit Tax (FBT) taxes non-cash benefits (fringe benefits). FBT keeps things fair as both cash and non-cash benefits are taxed equally.
What Are the Types of Fringe Benefits?
Fringe benefits mainly come in four types. If any of these benefits apply to your employees, you may need to pay FBT.
Four Main Types of Fringe Benefit:
1. Motor vehicles available for private use.
Employers only pay FBT on motor vehicles if they are available to be used by employees privately. If the vehicle is available to be used privately but is not actually used — you still have to pay FBT.
The exception is if it can't be physically used for a full 24-hour period – such as when travelling away from the office on business, or on holiday and not using the vehicle.
Partners in a partnership or sole traders don't have to pay FBT on business vehicles they use. Income tax and GST adjustments are made for the private use of vehicles.
To ascertain this, they need to keep a logbook of their business use for 90 days every 3 years.
In small companies with no more than 2 company vehicles for shareholder employees, they now have a new option to treat their company vehicle as partnerships and sole traders do.
For more information on FBT on motor vehicles, check out this easy-to-follow IRD video
2. Free, subsidised or discounted goods and services.
You need to pay FBT as an employer if your employees pay for goods and services that are provided at less than the lower of:
- GST inclusive cost to you
- Lowest GST inclusive price you sell the same goods to other customers (whether that's wholesale or retail), if you're the manufacturer
- Normal GST inclusive cost to the public
There are exemptions to paying FBT for free, subsidised or discounted goods and services you provide to your employees. As an employer you can provide up to $300 of free or subsidised goods per employee per quarter without paying the tax.
If you file annual returns, you have a yearly exemption of $1,200 for each employee.
Check out this IRD page for some examples for this form of FBT.
3. Low-interest loans.
If a loan is provided by an employer to an employee that is less than the prescribed rate of interest or market rate, then the employer will need to pay FBT.
If the same loan is available to the general public for less than the prescribed rate of interest or market rate, then FBT does not need to be paid.
4. Employer contributions to funds, insurance and superannuation schemes.
Employers need to pay FBT on contributions they make to:
- sickness, accident or death benefit funds,
- life, pension, personal accident or sickness insurance policies,
- superannuation schemes (where employer superannuation contribution tax doesn't apply),
funeral trusts,
- friendly society insurance funds.
FBT is also payable on insurance policies when an employer:
- takes out the policy for an employee and pays their premium, or
- offers discounted premiums for agents and their families if they are a life insurance business.
Is a Cash Payment a Fringe Benefit?
A cash payment such as a bonus, is treated as part of the employee's salary or wages and is a normal employee deduction (PAYE).
What is the Fringe Benefit Tax Rate?
There are three Fringe Benefit Tax rates that are applied to the taxable value of the fringe benefit.
1. Single Rate
The single rate is the highest FBT rate and is currently 49.25%.
This rate is applied to all fringe benefits that are provided. Applying the single rate for all your FBT returns is the easiest option but if any of your employees earn less than $70,000 you'll end up overpaying.
The alternate rate is the solution to this.
2. Short Form Alternate Rate
There are two rates within the short form alternate rate:
- 49.25% for all attributed benefits (fringe benefits that are assigned to an individual employee that only they use — such as a bus pass etc.) and non-attributed benefits (a benefit that is available to be used by all employees such as a work vehicle that everyone can use) that are provided to shareholder-employees.
- 42.86% for non-attributed benefits.
This rate is a good option if you have employees that earn less than $70,000 or if you provide a lot of non-attributed benefits.
3. Full Alternate Rate
This rate only applies to attributed benefits and you are required to do a separate calculation for each employee – using this rate the FBT is calculated on each employee's marginal tax rate, so if most of your employees earn less than $70,000, this is the best option.
To work out your FBT, use the IRD's fringe benefit tax calculator or give us a call on 0800 236 446 or contact us via our website for a little more information.
When Should You Register for FBT?
If you're an employer that provides fringe benefits and you're not currently registered, then you need to let the IRD know. You can do this by calling the IRD on 0800 377 772 or registering online at www.ird.govt.nz

Aceros Alfa, Honduras, will complete its transformation into a state-of-the-art plant
ESS cantilever stands, the winning technology for compact layout configuration and cost-effective revamping projects
Aceros Alfa has placed an order with Danieli Service that will finalize the transformation of the plant into a state-of-the-art operation, including a complete new roughing mill with another seven ESS H-V cantilever stands, including all electrical controls and automation, to replace the existing 3-high stand. Danieli Automation will install automation for RM control. All the guides will be supplied by Morgårdshammar, together with the complete pass design, and supervision and technical assistance will be provided by Danieli Service.
For several Aceros Alfa has trusted Danieli not only through Danieli Service but also with other two projects, the first in August 2013 for the new water treatment plant, by Danieli Systems; and the second in January 2018 for a new reheating furnace by Danieli Centro Combustion.
The first phase of the project led to a yearly production increase of 30%, and a significant reduction in transformation costs.
Once the most recent order has been filled, Aceros Alfa will have the most modern, lean plant in the region, with a production capacity of 50 tph of deformed bars, rounds, flats and angles starting from billets of 150 and 130 mm square.
The new configuration will be ready to startup at the beginning of 2020.

Earlier this week, my friend Rob (whom you'll remember from this awesomeness) emailed my brother and me and asked if we were free for sushi dinner. Specifically a Christmas sushi dinner. That's correct; I wrote Christmas. In October. Shudder. Clearly, Rob had lost his mind.
Now, instead of balking at the idea of celebrating Christmas in October, what with my well-known annoyance of retailers that rush the season (I'm looking at you Hallmark, Carleton Cards, Sears, Zellers, HomeSense, um, really I could go on forever), Aidan and I opted to make it happen. Especially since it gave us a great excuse to see Rob and Katherine, whom we don't get to see enough. So Friday evening we braved the chilly October weather and hopped onto the 401, making our way to Toronto.
Our Christmas in October dinner was held at Fin, and it was delicious. If you have a chance to check this place out, do so. It's not the typical sushi place. The food was amazing, both in taste and appearance. Rob took care of ordering, so I don't remember all of what we had, but I do remember the grilled pork belly skewers (ZOMG, my mouth is watering just thinking about these), the salted chicken wings (If my stomach were not what it is, I could eat about 1000 of these – so freaking good), sashimi, duck salad, and raw prawn. Verdict: delicious. The meal also included a pitcher of brewed-in-Guelph Sapporo, and a small bottle of warm sake. YUM.
After dinner we headed back to Rob and Katherine's to chat, visit with their cats Nami and Mushi, and to enjoy some further sake that Rob had picked up in the Distillery district of Toronto. The sake was fantastic – light, almost like water, but with delicious tastes of pear and other fruits. I'm going to have to pick up a bottle of this stuff.
It was at this point that Rob presented us with our Christmas gifts. To say that Rob outdid himself is an understatement. My gift was clearly a labour of love. I can't even imagine how many hours went into the project. Anyway, weeks ago Rob had contacted me about clarifying certain things that I had done; places I had travelled to; adventures I'd been on. The emails weren't terribly out of the ordinary, but they also triggered a what the hell is he up to response. Shortly thereafter, he asked for Rick's contact information, but then asked that I forget that this had occurred. Rick and Rob have never met. Clearly something was up. But, being the forgetful person that I am, I actually forgot that the two of them were in contact.
Fast forward to last night. Rob presented me with another infographic, but this one more epic than the last. This particular graphic began with a map of the world, and ended with a summary of my journeys travelling around it. There are so many amazing touches that I keep finding new and amazing things every time I look at it.
I wrote the other day that Rob "appreciates quality and attention to detail like no one else that I know". This is so clearly evident just by looking at my infographic. For example, within each of the circles that highlight places I've been or am planning to travel, Rob has included numbers that coincide with items on my Not-So-Bucket-List list. If you were to look at the circle that surrounds Brazil (a place I'd like to go), you'd read the numbers 142, 149, and 160. These are
- #142 Travel to South or Central America again,
- #149 Attend Carnival in Brazil, and
- #160 Travel to the World Cup in 2014.
Further, and for those curious – the title of the infographic Wanderlust 1.1 is to indicate that this particular gift isn't finished. That is, as I continue my travels and see more of the world, he's going to update the map and reprint it for me. I'm stoked to see the time line as my adventures continue.
Honestly, without a doubt this is one of the most amazing gifts anyone has ever given me.
Rick: Thank you for helping Rob out. Your words and haiku's were fantastic, heartfelt, and vomit inducing. I look forward to every second I get to spend with you; chatting, shenaniganning, adventuring, travelling, and living life without hesitation. I love you long time. You are one-of-a-kind and I'm fortunate to have someone as incredible as you in my life, even if your face is crooked. ZING!
Rob: Where to begin? I honestly do not have the words to adequately describe how amazing you are, nor how important you are to me. Thank you for the best gift in the history of gifts. As soon as it is framed it is going to be hung up where I will see it everyday and smile. Not because it reminds me of where I've been and where I want to go, but because it will remind me that I have the most amazing friends in the world, and all the travels and adventures would be meaningless if that weren't the case. I love you my friend. Thank you for 25 years of awesome.

FOX43 Sports Poll: What do you think of LaVar Ball, father of UCLA standout, Lonzo Ball?
The Ball family has been making headlines later.
No, not just UCLA star G Lonzo Ball.
His father, LaVar, has been making waves of his own recently.
It all began about four weeks ago, when LaVar was quoted as saying his son would only play for the Los Angeles Lakers in the NBA. Shortly after, LaVar said his son, Lonzo, is better than Warriors G Stephen Curry, who has won both the MVP award and an NBA Finals title in the past two seasons.
That caused TNT analyst, Charles Barkley, to lose his cool.
"Just because you say some s–t, doesn't make it right. He's gonna be better than Steph Curry? That's what he said. Steph Curry has won a couple MVPs, he's pretty good. Man, let me tell you something. That's that AAU s–t. You can't say a guy is going to be better than Steph Curry, a guy who has played 30 college games. I know you can be proud of your son, but at some point, it becomes stupidity," Barkley said, according to Sporting News.
LaVar responded, "Maybe if he [Barkley] thought like me, maybe he'd win a championship."
About a week ago, LaVar claimed that he would be NBA Legend Michael Jordan in a game of one-on-one. That comment blew many media personalities and outlets away, especially coming from a man that averaged just 2.2 points per game during his lone season playing for Washington State.
This set Barkley off again, as he then challenged ball to a game of one-on-one.
On ESPN's Mike & Mike In the Morning, Barkley said, "I'm too old and fat to play basketball, but I'll challenge Mr. Ball to a one-on-one. I don't even know how old he is. He's gotta be around my age. But ain't no guy who averaged two points per game can beat me one on one. I'm positive of that."
Things finally hit a more serious tone this week, after Chris Broussard's In the Zone podcast featured the elder Ball mentioning that his sons would have a better chance in the NBA than LeBron James', suggesting that it would be too hard to live up to James' legacy.
James responded by telling ESPN on Tuesday that Ball should "keep my kids' name out of your mouth, keep my family out of your mouth. This is dad to dad. It's a problem now."
Yesterday, USA Today published a piece that took a look at how Ball is handling his two younger sons, LiAngelo and LaMelo, as they make their way through their high school careers.
The piece paints a picture of disorder, with Chino Hills coach Stephen Gilling, fighting Ball for control and order of his team. In fact, Gilling says that after one incident in which Ball attempted to show up and embarrass Gilling that the kids "looked at me different," referencing a confusion about who the kids should really be listening to for guidance.
While some find Ball to be brash, loud, and far too outspoken, others think that he is just supporting his children in his own way while gaining the attention he wants by doing it.
Our question is, what do you think of LaVar Ball, father of UCLA standout, Lonzo Ball?

Limited Inventory Demand for Housing - Area Sales Continue to Rise in Spite of Slow Job Growth..
Factors that helped spur a widespread real estate market recovery in our Chapel Hill, Durham, & Raleigh Real Estate Sales will most likely continue in 2014 - although at a more moderate pace - say experts. That's a great thing since the market is returning to a stable, healthy state.
Area appraisers, local newspapers, and our local MLS are reporting between 11% -14% rise in home sales from January 2014 over this same time in January 2013. No one is expecting the Triangle housing market to have another year like 2013 which saw a 24% increase in home sales ( mostly due to pent up demand ). Most expect double digits to continue to occur but decrease as the year progresses.
Any idea why that would occur? Our local job growth has been growing at 2-3% and that doesn't make an easy correlation to high double digit home sale growth. We need more jobs to spur on home sales, and frankly, we as Chapel Hill Real Estate Brokers or Durham Real Estate Brokers have had a low inventory of resale homes to sell. Until recently even New Homes in Chapel Hill and Durham, ( Raleigh and Cary too ) have been very limited. The good news is new home construction is picking up and that means more inventory to sell!
There were just 6,435 homes for sale at the end of January in Durham, Orange, Wake and Johnston counties. That is down 16% since October and off 7% from the same time last year. What does that mean to you and me as your Realtor, buyer? Lack of inventory means homes are more desirable when they are priced right and in good condition; they sell fast and oftentimes with competing offers. What does that mean for me as your Realtor, seller ? They sell for more and they sell faster! In fact, the avg home in the Triangle sold 23 days faster ( 85 avg days on the market ) than one year ago ( 115 D.O.M )! Prices will rise and eventually more sellers in Durham, or sellers in Chapel Hill, will offer their homes for sale.
One last note about inventory, Pending home sales were down 1% & showings were down in January by similar numbers. This is the first time in 31 months that we saw any decline in contract homes for sale. Local Appraiser Stacey Anfindsen attributes this partly to lack of inventory, but notes our recent extended inclement weather ( yes, the SNOW, beautiful as it is ), kept buyers and their Realtor- Brokers from actually touring homes and deciding which ones to buy! Now that the weather is giving us something more palatable - although still cold temps - we should see more showing activity in the coming weeks.
Here are some figures of interest noted by Anfindsen:
- January 2013-2014 inventory of homes dropped 9%
- Closed Sales ( SOLD ) between 11-14% in January; up 24% from 2013!
- New Construction sales increased 11.5%
- 1% increase in new listings for sale on the market
- Expired and Withdrawn listings down for the last 3 years!
- Pending sales had 31 months of increase but were down 1.3% in January
- HOMES SOLD FASTER IN JANUARY ( 23 DAYS FASTER ) than one year ago.
The reality is, the market really NEEDS more homes to sell to home buyers this spring! Many of my clients are waiting for homes to come on the market so they can buy a home. At the same time many of my sellers are waiting to sell their home for the spring market to 'hit'. What I would say is " It's Here, Let's Sell and Buy" ! If you would find a personal conversation about your real estate plans useful, it would be my pleasure to speak with you.

Just a few short hours until Christmas! We thought we'd share this wonderful recipe from Lauren at Healthy Remedy.
These biscuits are the perfect snack to have if you don't want to be too naughty, just be careful you know how to stop yourself from finishing the whole batch! I created the recipe only a few days ago and it seemed like it went down as a hit!
130g quinoa flour
2- 2 1/2 tbsp of raw cashew butter
2 tbsp of coconut milk
1 egg
2-3 Tbsp of natural maple syrup
1/2-1 tsp of vanilla bean paste
1/4 tsp vanilla escence
1/4 tsp bicarbonate soda
1/4 tsp cream of tartar
1. Preheat oven 350 F
2. In a mixer add the quinoa flour and the cashew butter and mix for a few seconds till everything starts combining.
3. Add the egg, maple syrup, vanilla paste and extract, bicarbonate soda, cream of tartar and coconut milk and mix till everything is blended.
4. If the mix is too sticky and hard to hold in your hand, just add a little bit more flour and make sure you balance out the other ingredients.
5. Roll at the dough and cut into shapes using cookie cutters. You could buy these in most supermarkets or baking shops. If not pat them into a round flat and not too thick or thin shape.
6. Bake in the oven for 15 mins.
7. Once taken out the oven I sprinkled a little bit of natural fruit sugar to give it that shiny look. However, that's optional!
Happy baking! Check out Lauren's blog for more awesome healthy recipes.

When the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus came to Stockton on Sept. 13, the Record published a photograph of the elephants marching downtown.
When the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus came to Stockton on Sept. 13, the Record published a photograph of the elephants marching downtown.
Though the circus might be entertaining for many - children and adults - don't let the costumes fool you.
Ringling Brothers and other circus companies mistreat and abuse their animals. It isn't fair or anywhere near justifiable that these animals have to put up with the suffering, especially for someone's entertainment.
In order to train the animals, trainers use electric prods, whips, sharp bull hooks and their own feet and fists to kick and beat them.
When the animals aren't performing, they're shoved into cages that don't offer any room to sit down or even move. The animals are standing up constantly, even after performing.
They move from city to city, perform for the public's unnecessary entertainment and repeat this for most of their lives.
Many times, animals fall ill and still are forced to perform. There is no excuse for this.
Haven't we all turned to more human forms of entertainment, such as MySpace or the television screen?
We shouldn't support the circus industry. An alternative would be to go to nonanimal circuses.
People should speak out against animal cruelty and stay informed. For more information, go to www.peta2.com/takecharge.

Professional golfers are showing that sports figures are all about themselves and to heck with fans who make it possible for them to make such outrageous salaries.
Their pettiness, greed and lack of regard for the institution and stakeholders who make their plush lifestyles possible are sickening.
The Professional Golfers Association instituted the Fed-Ex Cup, which promised to be a true playoff for pro golfers - adding $35 million beyond their normal $6 million to $7 million pots for playoff events to begin a retirement account for men who, though they might not need it, obviously want more.
They already can elect to play in any event.
As long as they earn enough to keep their PGA card, they get to play golf for four "grueling" rounds over four-day periods during the PGA season.
If only their fans had such a good deal while they work 40 to 60 hours a week to feed their families and, maybe, make a house payment.

Recent Record articles reported on Pete Saco, the California Interscholastic Federation's Sac-Joaquin Section commissioner, and construction of a new $1.4 million CIF building.
Who will pay for this building? The taxpayers, through funds from each high school.
Saco has five full-time employees and one part-time employee and no political oversight in his expenditure of public money.
The CIF also collects playoff money from all sports. I don't know of anybody who uses a credit card or a check to buy tickets. It's all cash.
Jim Manzer
» NOTE: High schools pay 30 cents per student each year to the CIF. There are 182 high schools and approximately 230,000 students in the section. The bulk of CIF funding derives from corporate sponsorships and ticket sales from playoffs in all varsity sports.

Perhaps you've already read our basic article about high-intensity interval training. This method of training is based on the alternation of high and medium intensity exercise intervals. You may think that for its implementation you need special sports outfits, barbells, and dumbbells. But in fact, high-intensity interval training can be done on conventional sports machines. In this article, we will tell you on elliptical, treadmill, bike and stairmaster programs.
HIITs (high-intensity interval trainings) are very popular, as this kind of load is considered the most effective method of fat burning.
LIIS vs HIIT Gym Workout
LISS, or low-intensity, steady-state cardio is a low-intensity workout at a constant load level, and HIIT is a high-intensity interval training. In simple terms, LISS is all familiar walking on the treadmill for 30 minutes or riding a bike for an hour at almost constant speed and intensity. HIIT is also a relatively less known form of cardio training, but it extremely effective. It involves a sharp increase in the intensity of your workout. For example: very fast running for 60 seconds as fast as you can, and then walking for 60 seconds at a slow pace.
Here are pros and cons of these types of workout regimens.
Low-intensity steady-state cardio (LISS):
- This is the best solution for those who want to relax during their cardio session and practice non-heavy workouts.
- Many people are getting bored doing this exercise.
- LISS much softer affects the bones and joints, so it is probably the best choice for the elderly.
- It takes more time to complete the workout, which is not ideal for busy people who do not have much time for workouts.
- LISS does not give results as quickly as HIIT.
- It's easier to track your workouts (due to the absence of intervals) and set goals for yourself next time.
- LISS provides the opportunity to communicate with friends during training.
High-intensity interval training (HIIT gym workout).
- It takes very little time for training with a high level of burning calories (15-20 minutes), which is great for people with a tight schedule.
- It requires more attention, since it is necessary to control your training intervals.
- Gives better results than LISS (this fact has been scientifically proven).
- HIIT may be dangerous for joints, because the sessions are much more intense (read more about cortisone injections for knee pain).
- It will not be the best choice if you are a beginner and are not familiar with cardio exercises.
- It's harder to track your workouts.
- You need to concentrate on training, there is no time for outside communication, because it is a killer workout! (Read more about the back killer workout.
- HIIT is the core solution for more serious training, which may seem too harsh for those who are engaged in fitness on a non-regular basis.
Features of HIIT Elliptical Workout
It is easy to implement the HIIT principle on an elliptical machine. The main thing is to actively perform intensive interval training and not give up. High intensity interval training activates your metabolism and can burn large amounts of calories in a short time leading to fat loss. Let's consider it on the example of the elliptical machine called Horizon Andes. First and foremost, you should warm-up your muscles with a load of 50% of the maximum. Then, within the next 60 seconds, go hard, as quick as you can, at a load of 90-95% of your max heart rate. Then make a cooldown for half a minute, again with a load of about 50-60%, and repeat the cycle again. Do this for 15-20 minutes, and at the end, spend 2 min for a final cooldown. Believe us, you will be absolutely emaciated by the end of your HIIT elliptical workout and will want to get off the machine.
Best HIIT Treadmill Workout
Here is an idea of HIIT-training, which can be performed on the treadmill.
How to perform the exercise? Start with a five-minute warm-up, then slowly run for 2 minutes. Then start the cycle.
The cycle for the HIIT treadmill workout is as follows:
- 4 minutes of fast running (70-80% of maximum intensity).
- 2 minutes of slow running or walking.
Do 5 cycles in total for 30 minutes.
That's all! If you want extra challenge, increase the slope of the track on the intense part of your HIIT workout. Do not forget to make a cooldown and stretching after the workout.
HIIT Bike Workout – Little's Method
Many people underestimate possibilities of an exercise bike. It may seem that the bike does not require too much energy and calories. However, anyone who has practiced cycling HIITs in the fitness club knows that this is a very decent load.
One of the most well-known interval training is a HIIT based on the Little method (this method is named after the researcher Jonathan P. Little). According to this method, you should do intense part for 60 seconds, then rest for 75 seconds lowering the intensity of the load by half. Repeat that circle, performing 8-12 reps for training. You can practice this workout 2-3 times a week. Due to that you can quickly improve your physique. However, newcomers or those who return to fitness after a long break are not recommended to do HIIT bike workout according to experts. This workout is intended rather for advanced athletes, who regularly trains for at least a couple of months. And even in this case, we advise you not to focus on the scheme developed by Jonathan P. Little, but to adapt it taking into account your physical preparation.

Best Stairmaster HIIT Workout
Stairmaster machines occupy a large area in gyms. Do not let the impressive size frighten you, because you will love this machine with all your heart after the first workout on it. Also, there are mini-stairmasters of compact sizes that you can use at home.
The machine is designed to mimic the ascent of a slope or a ladder. This is the best alternative for performing complex aerobic exercises and leg training, which is present in the dynamic sport machines sector. In addition to creating the conditions for climbing the stairs, when performing stairmaster HIIT workout, you receive a positive effect on the cardiovascular system of the body with a qualitative training of the muscles of the lower limbs.
The standard control panel allows you to configure several training programs, which include quick start, heart-rate-dependent tuning, fat burning, HIIT workout program, aerobic and custom settings. Custom settings section allows you to perform training on individual parameters.
HIIT Workout Program – Samples of Science-Proven Benefits
Reduction of fat tissue volume by 2% in 8 weeks. A 2001 study conducted at the East Tennessee State University showed good results for participants trained on an 8-week HIIT program (their body fat decreased by 2%) compared to those who underwent a continuous exercise program constant intensity on the treadmill (this group did not show decrease in the volume of adipose tissue).
6x Fat-Burning Effect. During a recent study in Australia, women who practiced the 20-minute HIIT program, which consisted of 8 seconds of sprint and 12 seconds of rest, lost 6 times more fat than the group members who performed 40-minute cardio training at a constant intensity equal to 60% of the maximum heart rate. By the way, you can use steroids that burn fat (like Winstrol, Trenbolone & Anavar), but their action is associated with some side effects.

The natural world is not composed of a continuum of types of organism each grading into the next: we recognize boundaries between one type of organism and another. Nevertheless, within what we recognize as species (defined below), there is often considerable variation, and some of this is heritable. It is on such intraspecific variation, after all, that plant and animal breeders (and natural selection) work.
Since the environments experienced by a species in different parts of its range are themselves different (to at least some extent), we might expect natural selection to have favored different variants of the species at different sites. The word 'ecotype' was first coined for plant populations (Turesson, 1922a, 1922b) to describe genetically determined differences between populations within a species that reflect local matches between the organisms and their environments. But evolution forces the characteristics of populations to diverge from each other only if: (i) there is sufficient heritable variation on which selection can act; and (ii) the forces favoring divergence are strong enough to counteract the mixing and hybridization of individuals from different sites. Two populations will not diverge completely if their members (or, in the case of plants, their pollen) are continually migrating between them and mixing their genes.
Local, specialized populations become differentiated most conspicuously amongst organisms that are immobile for most of their lives. Motile organisms have a large measure of control over the environment in which they live; they can recoil or retreat from a lethal or unfavorable environment and actively seek another. Sessile, immobile organisms have no such freedom. They must live, or die, in the conditions where they settle. Populations of sessile organisms are therefore exposed to forces of natural selection in a peculiarly intense form.
This contrast is highlighted on the seashore, where the intertidal environment continually oscillates between the terrestrial and the aquatic. The fixed algae, sponges, mussels and barnacles all meet and tolerate life at the two extremes. But the mobile shrimps, crabs and fish track their aquatic habitat as it moves; whilst the shore-feeding birds track their terrestrial habitat. The mobility of such organisms enables them to match their environments to themselves. The immobile organism must match itself to its environment.

The Project
A network of people and entities ready to transform their belief system,
life style and thinking, in order to respond fully to the challenges facing
current society.
To generate cultural models with
which to understand the state
of the world and which help new
generations in their path towards
an ethical life.
The changes needed by current civilization are not only
economic or political but concern our worldview,
implying a transformation of the entire person,
of the way we perceive, feel and think.
A holistic learning process, working
and living together, at whose heart
is the evolution of the person, their
relationship with the earth and their
commitment to the world.
From an experiential and participative basis, we invite a change
of perspective, making it possible to look at reality from
a different place. From here we can think about ecological,
economic and social questions within the ethos of
sustainability and justice.
Uniterra has various sources: The cosmotheandric vision developed by Raimon Panikkar,
and the concept of Interculturality which it gives rise to; Ivan Illych's emancipatory stance,
and his comprehension of conviviality as the way to social and personal fulfilment;
and the legacy left by Lluís Maria Xirinacs, of a country led by its own longing for
fulfilment and freedom of peoples, following the path of non-violent resistance.
And at the same time we are inspired by the Earth Universities which have sprung up
around the Zapatista movement in Mexico (Oaxaca and Chiapas), living,
vibrant centres which counteract the globalised mono culture.

LANDOWNERS who leave commercial blocks vacant would pay higher rates under a plan being considered by Bayswater council.
The differential rating would encourage landowners to develop derelict sites, which can lower the tone of the city and affect the value of neighbouring properties.
Councillor Elli Petersen-Pik says the plan "has the potential to reduce the burden on residential ratepayers, whilst also achieving other city objectives by setting higher rates on specific classes of land, such as noxious industry and many eyesore commercial vacant lots around our city".
He says the Fremantle and Vincent councils currently have differential rates, and notes it almost doubles the landowners' bill.
"Vincent justifies the application of differential rates on vacant commercial land on the basis that those lots are often unsightly and unkempt, and their development is in the best interests of the community as it will increase the street appeal and the vibrancy of town centres," Cr Petersen-Pik says.
"We all know many examples of neglected sites in our wards. One high profile example, which many of you are aware of, is the vacant site owned by Coles on Guildford Road, in the middle of the Maylands town centre," he said at the council's last finance committee meeting.
Other eyesore blocks that could be slugged with double rates include the vacant lot at the corner of Peninsula Road and East Street, and the corner of King William St and Guildford Road (though there may be some good news on that latter site, with mayor Dan Bull saying he'd met with the developer and there's something's in the works).
Staff will now investigate the plan and bring it back to councillors in time for the 2018-2019 budget.
