The year 2013 is sure to go down in the annals of NYC real estateas a stellar time. What were some of the dominant trends? Let's take a look.
(1) Housing stock shrinks further. An overriding and ongoing lack of inventory defines the 2013 market. All analytics point to the lowest level of supply in more than a decade. The shortage has heightened competition among buyers and driven up price levels. Demand has remained consistently strong and is expected to be sustained.
(2) Absorption is hastening. Properties in all price ranges are being absorbed at a faster rate than new properties are coming to market. Absorption rate, calculated by taking the total number of active listings and dividing by the average number of closed sales over a six month period, is significantly low, clearly confirming a seller's market. According to a report by Michael Vargas, President of Vanderbilt Appraisal Company, the Manhattan market overall was at 4.1 months absorption rate in October 2013. A balanced market historically hovers at six months. All neighborhoods and all price ranges experienced supply shortages, but some neighborhoods had lower absorption rates than others: Upper West Side absorption is 2.9 months, the lowest of all areas, with less than 600 listings as of the October report. Upper Manhattan (Harlem and north) is at 3 months absorption rate. Downtown (Gramercy and south) stands at 3.2 months. Upper East Side is 3.8 months. The Midtown market is 4 months.
(3) Prices and transaction numbers continue to rise. In the 3rd quarter, sales reached a 6 year high in dollar volume. REBNY's NYC Residential Sales Report which analyzed data from all 5 boroughs reported that the total consideration for all residential sales in New York City during the third quarter of 2013 was $11.3 billion, up 31.63% from the third quarter of last year and 38.06% from 2013 Q2. The total volume of transactions in the third quarter was 14,073, up 28% from the third quarter of 2012 and 33% from the 2013Q2.
(4) Competitive bidding has become commonplace. When a well priced offering comes to market, inventory starved buyers and their agents rush to view. Within days, sellers' agents' are collecting multiple bids, reviewing terms and evaluating financial profiles of prospective purchasers. The environment is particularly challenging for buyers who are new to the market and for those who require financing. Often it takes losing a property to understand the market's speed and strength. One year ago, we were advising buyers to bid as high as 5% over ask; today offering 10% may not ensure a win if the property is priced properly. For buyers who require financing when competing with cash buyers, it's essential to consider waiving a financing contingency, securing an advance appraisal or financing post closing.
(5) The ultra luxury market is booming. Buyer appetite for high end new development appears insatiable. Developers are building larger spaces at higher prices for this uber category driven only partly by foreign money. Purchasing apartments from plans for units that won't be ready for another 12-24 months, these buyers are rushing to be "first in" before developers raise prices with new amendments to the Attorney General's Office. To cite a noteworthy few: It's tough to even get an appointment at Greenwich Lane, the Rudin family St. Vincent's Hospital condo conversion which will feature 5 buildings and 5 single family homes along West 11th and 12th Streets between 6th and 7th Avenues where prices average $3,500 psf for mostly two bedrooms from $2-20M. A new crop of skyscrapers so tall they need approval from the Federal Aviation Administration has been emerging. The one that's gotten the most press is Extell's One57 which will have the 5 star Park Hyatt Hotel occupying the first 30 floors. Referred to as the "Billionaire's Club" by the NY Times, One57 reports that 70% of its 90 residences have sold at $11,000 psf. Standing 1,004' tall, this glass curtained tower will be the highest residential building until its southeastern neighbor 432 Park Avenue is completed. At the former site of the Drake Hotel, 432 Park, Macklowe's ground up 1,400' high tower is rising with 90 stories and 129 residences above a retail and office complex. Slated to open by April 2015, it offers 10 full floor 8,000 sf homes starting at $64M and smaller 1,400 sf units at $6,894 psf. A 8,255 sf unit is reportedly in contract for $95M or $11,500 psf. 18 Gramercy Park holds the downtown record so far for a $42M sale but that will soon be topped by Tribeca's 56 Leonard Street when the 60th floor Penthouse closes at $47M.
(6) Brooklyn is exploding. Beyond all expectations, Brooklyn prices have gone through the roof. Nearly every listing in Kings County goes to a bidding war. Prices are accelerating almost daily with 20-25% year over year appreciation.
(7) Chinese developers are competing with NY based rivals for high profile properties. As China lifts its sanctions against overseas investments, we are seeing more new developments from Chinese investors. According to a recent Crain's article, Xinyuan Real Estate has broken ground on a Williamsburg residential development of 216 condo units. Other major Chinese developers—Greenland Holdings has invested $3B for a 70% stake in Brooklyn's Atlantic Yards where 6,430 units are planned; Fosun Group secured the winning bid of $725M for the landmarked downtown office tower 1 Chase Manhattan Plaza; Zhang Xin paid an estimated $700M for The General Motors Building at 5th and 59th Street in May. In 2014, we're likely to see more of the same central trends continue as buyers, sellers and their agents transact business in the Big Apple.

Suffering – Part II
based on Letter of St. Paul of the Cross to Mother Mary Crucified
by Msgr. Bernard Powers
In the teachings of Paul
we are called to a deeper response to God.
Such is true in suffering.
Just as " all gifts are to be offered as a holocaustal sacrifice" (7)
so should our sufferings
be offered as a "holocaustal sacrifice to God,"
that is, to offer ourselves through suffering
as a holocaustal sacrifice.
One needs to be careful here.
It is not the sufferings that are acceptable to the Beloved,
but the dispositions of the heart in our sufferings….
It is the giving of self.
Sufferings are the channel through which
the soul offers herself to the Beloved.
It is not the Cross that has value,
it is the love expressed through the cross
that glorified the Father and redeemed the world.
How much are you to suffer?
How deeply are you to suffer?
To know who you are
is to know the depth of suffering
to which you are called.
You are victims of the Crucified Bridegroom
and thus the depth of suffering
to which you are called
is to share in the suffering and the Passion of Jesus
to the depth of holocaustal sacrifice. (28)
A victim sacrificed as a holocaust
is a victim totally immolated,
consumed totally for God by the sacred fire.
My sisters, in the Passion
you are total gift.
Your suffering has value.
"Naked suffering is a great treasure,
that is, a suffering without comfort
either from heaven or from earth." 28
It is a treasure,
for it is the means through which
"You frequently offer yourselves as a holocaustal victim
to the Divine Majesty on the Cross."
In this suffering you die the mystical death with Christ.
In this suffering you are in mystical death and
a new life of love comes to the soul.
Saint Paul uses two interesting, qualifying words
regarding suffering.
He says:
"we know clearly how precious naked suffering is
in true meekness and silent patience. (28)
Meekness is an acknowledgement that we completely depend
on God in suffering. Thus to modify suffering with meekness
is to admit that suffering, without God, would totally devastate us.
Only with God is our suffering life-giving.
Suffering with true meekness is union with God.,
and we suffer with Jesus.
Suffering with true patience
is to experience suffering
with a certain surrender.
Just as one can not hurry the blooming of the rose,
neither can one hurry the releasing of life-giving graces
from the sufferings in one's life.
One must "suffer in patience." (28)
The time from Good Friday to Easter morning
is many hours.
What inspiring advice Saint Paul gives us regarding suffering.
Accept suffering
with faith..
with meekness…
with patience…
with silence…
with abandonment…
with Mary…
with Jesus.
Paul tells us how to accept sufferings"
Embrace struggles…
Be clothed in the Passion…
Accept ever trial from the loving hand of God
Be happy in suffering
Be willing to suffer
Esteem suffering highly
Offer yourself as holocaust
See suffering as a sign of love
Endure suffering
Be daughters of the Passion
Be worthy brides of the crucified Spouse.
Paul's final words to you are:
"Remain day and night
in the divine bosom of the Heavenly Father,
clothed in Jesus Christ
and with his sufferings." 34
Amen Msgr. Bernard Powers

One shot on Sunset Road in Charlotte
Medic transported one person with a gunshot wound to Carolinas Medical Center in Charlotte on Friday.
The person was shot in the 4300 block of Sunset Road and had life-threatening injuries, Medic said on its Twitter account.
The shooting happened shortly before 1 p.m.
Charlotte-Mecklenburg police hadn't released details by 2 p.m., but asked news crews that shot video to blur out or not use video of witnesses who were inside the crime scene, for the witnesses' safety.
Keith Trietley, a CMPD public affairs officer, asked news crews to use video of officers in uniform.

Easy Aburaage Samosa
Makes 8
Instead of pastry, use aburaage and just bake it in the oven instead of deep-frying it. This makes a much easier and healthier samosa. People who have tried it have told me that the aburaage makes the samosas much tastier.
- ½ cup frozen peas
- 4 sheets aburaage (refer to 'How to handle deep-fried tofu')
- 2 teaspoons neutral oil
- ½ onion (about 90g/3oz), chopped 2 teaspoons curry powder
- 2 large potatoes (about 600g/21oz)
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 4 tablespoons egg-free soy mayonnaise
- Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
- Pour boiling water over frozen peas. Set aside.
- Boil the aburaage in water for 1 or 2 minutes to get rid of excess oil from the aburaage. This will not only remove oil but also any unwanted smell from old oil and let the seasoning soak better.
- Drain and cool the aburaage with water.
- Place the aburaage on a cutting board and flatten it with a rolling pin. This makes it easier to open the aburaage as a pouch.
- Cut the aburaage in half.
- Carefully open up the aburaage from the cut side to make pouches, then turn pouches inside out. Set aside.
- Place the oil and onion in a small frying pan and fry until slightly transparent; add curry powder and cook for 2 minutes then add frozen peas and cook for 2 minutes. Set aside.
- Boil the potato with a pinch of salt (extra). Mash the potato, add the salt, mayonnaise, fried onion mixture and mix well.
- Divide the potato mixture into 8 portions. Place the mixture into a pocket and shape into a triangle.
- Bake in the oven for 10 minutes.
Tip: Serve with raita or chutney. For a vegetarian option, you can use whole egg mayonnaise or Japanese mayonnaise.
This recipe is from my first cookbook " Cooking With Soy" Both hardcover and ebook (
ibooks, kobo, Barns & Noble, Amazon and more!) are available.

KUWAIT: Residency Affairs detectives arrested three people (Pakistani, Indian and Bangladeshi) for forging driving licenses, civil IDs and official documents. Ready IDs and forging equipment were found with them. The suspects were charging large amounts of money for their work.
Smuggling foiled
Airport customs officers arrested an Indian man with 38 joints of cannabis weighing 250 gm. They also arrested a citizen who arrived from the US with a marijuana joint. Both were sent to concerned authorities. Meanwhile, Abdaly customs officers foiled a Syrian driver's attempt to smuggle 8,000 Captagon tablets, and he was sent to the drugs control general department. Officers found the illicit tablets in four rolls hidden under the fan in a highly professional manner.

"Intention is the seed you sow today,
that will grow into the desired success you will reap tomorrow."
Don E. Smith
Why is success, for some people, as easy as getting out of bed, while for the rest of the world it is a constant, uphill struggle?
Would you like to be a success?
Who wouldn't!
Have you ever asked yourself, "What does it take to become a success?"
Believe it or not, the answer to achieving success relies as much on how you think about the success process as it does on what you do to reach your goal. In many respects, you can't have one without the other. If this confounds you, the question you might want to ask yourself is, "What is success?"
Success is defined as, "The achievement of an intent."
So, right off the bat, this tells you two things about success. 1) you cannot achieve Success without Intent and 2). Success is never an accident. If you achieve your desire by either accident or chance, it's called "Luck" and that's rarely controllable or repeatable.
Success is all about Intention. Another way to put it is, "Intention is the seed you sow today, that will grow into the desired success you will reap tomorrow."
But success is not without its challenges.
On every road you travel during a journey from intent to success you encounter three daunting challenges you will need to surpass. Each of these challenges is as deadly to the pursuit of your intent and ultimate success as the lack of water is to plants in a garden.
The Three Challenges to Success are Inertia, Entropy and Apathy.
Let's examine each.
My Dad had his greatest business successes as an insurance agent. His passion to "do right by my clients" when offering them the best insurance and protection they could afford was the foundation of his sales philosophy. But, it wasn't always easy. Very often, despite his client's desire to own a successful insurance protection policy, they struggled to make the "buy" decision.
At that critical point in the sales meeting, my Dad would say, "To not decide, is to decide to do nothing." Boy, was he right.
Many people seeking to become a success at attaining a skill or reaching a goal are deterred at the outset by their inability to move in any direction. This is a perfect example of Inertia.
Inertia is a tendency to do nothing or to remain unchanged. Albert Einstein once said, "If nothing changes, nothing changes."
Making the commitment to take bold action or to shed all doubt and fear is a critical part of becoming successful. What you know, have and believe now is "safe" to you. It's the Status Quo.
The best way to shake off the Status Quo, move toward the intent of your desire, and overcome a tendency toward Inertia is to build some "Trust" muscle. This muscle, like all muscle, will respond and strengthen through repeated flexing and testing. It's all in your mind.
Following these steps will help you build your trust muscle:
- Imagine the goal of your desire.
- What is the smallest step you can take now?
- Take it and pause.
- How does it make you feel?
- Are you feeling confident?
- Great. You're flexing and strengthening your trust muscle.
- Think about the next step, maybe a little bigger than the last, and take it.
- Continue and repeat each step as above and you will continually overcome Inertia.
One warning, however, Inertia can pop up at any time, especially when an interim success has been reached. It questions whether you are willing to give up the comfort of what you have just attained for the prospect of something new but unknown; something you've only dreamed about but have yet to experience. If this happens to you, refer to step one above.
Staying ahead of Inertia is a great way to build the enthusiastic momentum that will help you stave off Entropy.
I first became aware of this success challenge while listening to Dr. Wayne W. Dyer's "The Power of Intention" lecture. I was so completely enlightened by his explanation of entropy, that this concept has become one of the most essential elements in the success coaching I do for organizations, leaders, and speakers.
Entropy, the second law of thermodynamics, states that things have a universal tendency toward deterioration. I define it this way: No matter how much energy or enthusiasm you have at the start of something it will not be enough to sustain you to the finish line. In order to sustain and reach the desired success of your intention you will need to apply increasing amounts of energy (psychological and physical) to your current effort to overcome the natural tendency toward deterioration. If you don't, you will run out of energy, lose focus, spiral down and fall short.
If I were to chart the declining effects of entropy, it might look like this:
The best way for you to overcome the obstacle of Entropy is to follow these steps:
- Find ways to celebrate the small successes you will have along the way to the desire of your intention.
- Make something out of these successes.
- Do not let them go unnoticed or unrecognized.
- But, do not rest on this interim success or think of it as your end-point.
- Use this "waypoint" success to "pat" yourself on the back and recognize where you are and how far you have come in your success journey.
- Keep entropy at bay by continuously increasing your enthusiasm and energy for the desired intention.
Otherwise, you may just find yourself fishing for a dream.
Speaking of "Goin' Fishing", let's look at the obstacle that will surface if you don't overcome Entropy, Apathy.
Years ago, I was president of an organization in desperate need of additional funds to pay for a special program. One day the organization was offered a "godsend" opportunity to host an event doing something it already did once a year that would have solved its special funds need. When I put it to a vote of my executive committee, my two VP's of Ways and Means (a fancy name for fund raising) said "they did want to work that hard" and withdrew their support of the motion. The motion failed, and the money never came.
I firmly believe that there is no such thing as a bad volunteer, and I don't fault these people for feeling the way they did. I am just serving this up as a perfect example of Apathy.
Apathy is a lack of interest, enthusiasm, or concern for something. It could be a goal, a relationship or a cause. All it means is that you have given up and surrendered your influence on the outcome without quitting altogether.
In this photo below, the fisherman hasn't quit fishing, but he has detached himself from the active process. Technically, the two sticks in the water are doing the fishing because they are holding the fishing pole. If he catches a fish, it will be mostly by accident or as just a random result of his intention. Not quite Luck, but definitely a whole lot of Hoping.
The best way to overcome Apathy is to follow these steps:
- Reevaluate the desire of your intention.
- Determine if it still drives you with a sense of urgency.
- Chart the progress you have made to date.
- Analyze how far you have to go.
- Imagine what it will be like to achieve the desire of your intention.
- Challenge any on-setting feelings of Inertia you might be experiencing by taking one more, small step forward.
Remember, you are the master of your success. No one else will give it to you.
Success is a wonderful feeling. It tickles the senses. Think of how people refer to success. The sweet taste of success or the sweet smell of success.
Success signals the end point of a journey of enriching experience, steadfast determination and reliable internal trust. Success achieved means you have overcome Inertia, Entropy and Apathy; the three obstacles everyone encounters on the way from a dream (desired intention) toward achievement.
Remember, every journey toward success, every project, every organizational initiative, every presentation, every relationship is challenged by these three obstacles. The degree to which you can control your success will be greatly enhanced when you learn how to take bold steps and break the status quo, harness your enthusiasm by adding new levels of celebration and reward, and focus on staying in the game by climbing back up the horse after a fall.
Intention is the seed you will use to grow the success of your desired intention. You hold that seed in your hands. Plant it, nurture it and harvest it and you will be rewarded for your efforts.
I trust you read this blog with the maximum amount of Intention and that it will help you understand the nature of success and how to have more of it in your personal and professional life. I appreciate your support as a reader of my blog and I welcome any comment on this post or suggestions you might have in the comments section below. As always, please feel free to share this post with a friend or colleague.
To Your Speaking Success.

Papa Bear
This big gentle soul found his way to us after a series of serendipitous events. We had seen him at the shelter weeks prior but he was not available yet. To make a long story short, a friend called and said they had found a dog on the streets and needed help finding a home. We saw him and sure enough, it was the big hunk from the shelter that stole our hearts. We found him a home but in transition to new home, there was a break in in a truck and he got out. About a week later, he was miraculously found and now is safe and lived in his forever home.

March 29 TN News Digest
This is a compilation of Tennessee news and political stories assembled daily by staffers in Gov. Bill Haslam's office.
Tennessee Reconnect program guarantees tuition-free technical training (WATE)
There are many reasons adults return to school. Some are planning a career change or need new skills to move up in their career. Others enroll for personal development or after there has been a change in their life. A new program, called Tennessee Reconnect is making it easier for adults to go back to school, providing free tuition at any technology college to eligible adults. State lawmakers approved the Reconnect grant last year when they signed off on the Tennessee Promise, which allows eligible high school seniors to attend community college for free.
New Tenn. grant will help adults go to college (WBBJ-TV Jackson)
Going from the work force back to school isn't as hard as you might think, especially with the help of a unique Tennessee grant. Tennessee Reconnect is Gov. Bill Haslam's plan to help adults take another step in the workplace or finally finish a long-sought-after degree. Starting this fall, the grant will give eligible adults a tuition-free chance to earn a diploma at any Tennessee College of Applied Technology, such as the one in north Jackson. "What we do here is training people for jobs that are in demand in our area, so jobs like welding, industrial maintenance, those type jobs are available in this area and there is a high demand for them," said Amanda Bevis, TCAT Jackson student services coordinator.
Guard thanked for aid in winter storm (Daily News Journal)
Efforts of the Tennessee National Guard to help the state during the recent ice storm brought thanks from Gov. Bill Haslam during the National Guard Association of Tennessee's annual conference in Murfreesboro Saturday morning. "Again, the Guard came in an incredibly effective way and an incredibly serving way," Haslam said. Haslam said the state's military added to its track record of helping the state through troubling times during brief remarks to hundreds of men and women at the Embassy Suites Hotel and Conference Center. Dozens of National Guard troops went to the Cumberland Plateau to assist with debris cleanup and wellness checks after thousands of residents were left without electricity, according to Tennessee Emergency Management Agency reports filed during the storm recovery process.
Gov. Haslam announces Young Entrepreneurs Academy in Knoxville (N-S)
Knoxville will be home this fall to a national academic program in which middle and high school students learn to start their own businesses, Gov. Bill Haslam announced during a breakfast with the Knoxville Chamber on Friday. The Young Entrepreneurs Academy, or YEA!, will be held over a seven-month period at the University of Tennessee's Haslam College of Business, starting Oct. 12. Pilot Flying J is the presenting sponsor. YEA! was founded in 2004 at the University of Rochester, and the program has been introduced to about 168 communities across the country, according to the program's website. Knoxville will be the first city in Tennessee to offer the program.
TWRA: Boaters on Boone Lake need to be careful due to lower levels (H-C)
Boating safety is always important, but boaters on Boone Lake — where lake levels are much lower than normal — will have to be especially careful this year, said Tommy Whitehead with the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency. "On Boone, the [water levels] are exceptionally low, so [boaters] should have a good GPS or good navigational charts or maps," he said last week. "A lot of structure is exposed when it gets that low and you're almost limited to just the channel itself — more like river navigation." He added that when lake levels are low, exposed structures can include old house foundations, tree trunks and rock piles.
Democrats try new tactic in Insure Tennessee revival (Tennessean/Boucher)
Tennessee state lawmakers passed a bill last year that puts the fate of Gov. Bill Haslam's controversial health care plan squarely in their laps. They killed Insure Tennessee quickly during a special session earlier this year, and it's unlikely to survive a resurrection attempt next week. But a new legal push from Nashville Democratic Sen. Jeff Yarbro could open the door to Haslam pushing forward with the plan without legislative approval. "The legislature right now isn't debating a law to create Insure Tennessee," Yarbro said Friday. "We're forcing the governor to obtain an elaborate permission slip from the legislature before doing the job we've told him to do."
Bill aims at eradicating wild hogs in Bledsoe, Polk, White counties (TFP/Benton)
Wild hogs cause about $1.5 billion in agricultural damage a year in Tennessee, and lawmakers in three counties want to allow landowners to control them with "any means necessary," including controversial hunting dogs. First cousins Riley Frady and Wendell Oakes, two lifelong residents and landowners in northwest Bledsoe County, say the bill being considered in the Tennessee Legislature would help hunters better control the feral pigs that can root up acres of farmland in a night. "They're after your seeds and bugs and roots and stuff. They get their food out of the ground," said Oakes, standing at the sawmill on the family farm on state Highway 30 near Fall Creek Falls State Park.
Who's in, who's out in race to lead Tennessee GOP (Tennessean/Boucher)
On April 12, there will be a new leader of the Tennessee Republican Party. Current party Chairman Chris Devaney announced this week he'll step down effective April 11 to run a nonprofit in Chattanooga. He leaves a party with considerable political and real power at the local, state and federal level, but a party that's consistently trying to avoid an all-out political civil war. A few people have officially decided to run for the open position, with a handful more still weighing the decision. At least one well-known Republican won't throw his hat in the ring this time around, joining several other prominent party members who won't seek the seat.
Q&A: Cohen bill targets 'predatory' lenders (Commercial Appeal/Collins)
U.S. Rep. Steve Cohen is renewing his push to rein in lenders that charge excessively high interest rates on payday loans and other consumer credit products. Cohen, D-Memphis, and U.S. Rep. Matt Cartwright, R-Pennsylvania, filed legislation last week that would limit the interest rates and fees that lenders can charge for all consumer credit transactions, such as mortgages, car loans, credit cards, car title loans and payday loans. So-called "predatory" lenders sometimes charge interest rates as high as 300 percent.
Tracy weighs another run at DesJarlais (Chattanooga Times Free-Press/Sher)
State Sen. Jim Tracy says he is weighing another challenge to U.S. Rep. Scott DesJarlais in the 4th Congressional District's GOP primary next year after his heart-stopping 38-vote loss to the South Pittsburg physician in 2014. "I've thought about it and I've had a lot of folks contact me in the district over the last few months," the Shelbyville senator said in an interview. "I'm going to look at it." Noting he is in the midst of a "busy" legislative session, Tracy said he's in no hurry to make an immediate decision.
Tennessee hospitals hopeful for more Medicaid payments (N-S/Harrington)
Tennessee hospitals that dole out hundreds of millions of dollars in charity and uncompensated care could get some relief in federal Medicaid funding over the next decade. Under a provision included in a Medicare-reform bill, hospitals would share $53 million annually for 10 years in disproportionate share hospital payments, which helps providers cover the costs of caring for low-income patients. "We have been working on this for 15 years. It has been a long, long journey," Tennessee Hospital Association President and CEO Craig Becker said. "It looks like finally the stars are aligned and this will become a reality. For many of our hospitals, it will be a lifesaver especially for our rural hospitals."
Editorial: Insure Tennessee deserves another look by legislators (News-Sentinel)
Reports of the demise of Gov. Bill Haslam's Insure Tennessee initiative, like the dispatches on the death of Mark Twain during the writer's lifetime, have proven to be exaggerated. At least for now. The health insurance program for the working poor is on life support and the prognosis is doubtful. Still, the revival has been remarkable and offers the opportunity for a broader discussion of the proposal's considerable merits than was afforded during the special session held to consider it earlier this year. Haslam developed Insure Tennessee as an alternative way to expand health insurance to people who earn up to 138 percent of the federal poverty line — an estimated 280,000 people, excluding those already on the state's TennCare program.
Jeff Yarbro: Bring Insure Tennessee to the floor for a vote (Tennessean)
It is time for the General Assembly to show some courage and bring Insure Tennessee to a vote on the floor of the House and the Senate. For most common sense observers, expanding health coverage to 280,000 citizens is a no-brainer. It's good for our health, good for our hospitals and good for our economy. These benefits come without a single, additional penny of taxes on Tennesseans. Obviously, some legislators object to the governor's Insure Tennessee plan. But we may never know how many because it could get trapped in an unfriendly committee in the House or Senate. The conventional wisdom in Legislative Plaza is that Insure Tennessee has a good chance of passing on the floor, but a bad chance of making it through the procedural gauntlet of committees and subcommittees that stand in its pathway to a full vote.
Tom Humphrey: GOP polite in killing bills (Knoxville News-Sentinel)
Scribblings from a notebook kept while wondering and wandering through Legislatorland, 2015: Bundles of bills died last week as several House subcommittees shut down for the year and Senate committees waded through long agendas. In many cases, the bill killings involve something approaching an annual ritual of established legislative procedure for dealing with matters that involve lots of talk and media attention in out-of-session situations. One category would be Democrat-sponsored bills that align, at least to some extent, with generic party position on an issue while opposed by the generic Republican Party position. Examples on last week's legislation death list include establishment of a state minimum wage and wage equality between men and women.

-Give us some basic info on you: name, where you live, kids/pets, favorite ice cream flavor, etc.
Our names are Sandrine Molnar and Daniella Valerio and we are co-owners of Monorail Studio. We live in Austin, TX with one very wild cuddly tuxedo cat named Marley. He does some pretty crazy things and keeps us full of inspiration. Salted Caramel is one of our favorite ice cream flavors but we love experimenting making our own ice cream and gelato at home. We definitely love to eat and enjoy cooking and gardening on our spare time.
-What mediums do you like to work with?
We are printmakers at heart. We love screenprinting, lithography, etching, woodblock printing and letterpress. Whenever we see a printing press we get a little giddy and excited. We currently work with screenprinting but we hope to soon invest in an etching press so we can expand our printing process. I also enjoy watercoloring particularly when it is on a print and Daniella enjoys drawing with a simple pen and paper.
-Were you creative growing up/what did you enjoy doing?
We were both very creative growing up. I did a lot of drawing and playing around on the beach. Daniella pretty much did the same thing too when she was growing up.
-Top 5 favorite foods, tv shows, and bands?
We looooove food so we can't really pick a favorite. But we really enjoy sushi, Mexican particularly Rick Bayless, vietnamese (love pho), dim-sum, and the burgers and shakes from Burger Guys in Houston. Seriously the best burgers and the best chocolate shake we've had (they temper their own chocolate to make it!). TV shows would have to be House and Bones. We listen to a lot of different music but we don't really have a favorite band. We are both all over the place just because there is so much life has to offer and we want to experience a little of everything.
-Is there anything you'd like to try your hand at doing? Knitting, baking, soap making, wood working, an instrument, etc.
There are so many things we would like to try so we will just name a few. I've always wanted to try making a wonderful cake using fondant with all the bells and whistles. Bakers make it look so easy but I know it takes a lot of work and experience to pull off a fancy cake. As for Daniella, she's always wanted to learn woodworking. It would be so nice to build your own furniture with your own two hands.
-A couple of artists/etsy shops/photographers you enjoy?
We love Aaron Horkey and his outrageously detailed screenprints and Suzy Lee for her wonderful visual storytelling. From Etsy we love sycamorestreetpress and handz for their lovely colorful and bright prints and MaidenVoyageClothing who have really cool products and product shots. We also love tugboatprintshop who have really great handmade woodblock prints.
-One year from now…
One year from now we hope to both work full time with Monorail Studio. We hope to be continuing down our current path and also expand our line of products to include t-shirts, totes, and other goodies. We look forward to living off of our art and see people enjoying what we create.

Ideal gambling session at an online casino
Beginner, as well as an experienced player, come to the online casino to have fun, to enjoy the game process, and, of course, to earn at least a little money. In our opinion, everyone hopes to win the maximum jackpot, the sum of which at the end amounts to a decent number of zero. So how do you make an ideal gaming session in a casino, that is, simultaneously earning the gold coins and get pleasure?
Step by step
We strongly recommend getting acquainted with the materials "How to win at the slot machines at Netent casino" for creating a modelling of the ideal gaming session in the casino. If you have already studied the submitted materials, we recommend that you become acquainted with several tips that the experienced testers of gambling grounds shared with us:
Change the speed of the game
It is known that each slot machine is configured by providers for a certain percentage of winnings (often 94-99%) and is designed for a long game process. It is considered that the gamer will undoubtedly return most of the made bets, and with a certain amount of luck and he will break off a decent jackpot, spending some time on the game. Therefore, one of the most common tactics is the change time of spins of the reels. In this way, scrolling through the empty combinations makes it possible to get quickly to the winning spins that will replenish your cashbox.
Doing multiple games simultaneously
Another good option that allows you to minimise the negative emotions and create an ideal gaming session at the casino is a game at once on several slot machines. It is considered that by making a more significant number even the most minimum bets, the player increases the chances of winning, which can fall out not only by turns but and simultaneously. A lot of operators are already equipped with a function of the simultaneous game, so it remains only to try this method to create the perfect gaming session at the casino.
Using the Auto-play function
Many players, especially those who are just trying to catch their wave, underestimate this possibility of the emulators, considering such spins are knowingly losing. Such a statement is erroneous, and the flexible settings options (a bet size, number of spins, stop when activating the bonus round) will allow you to enjoy what's happening on the screen simply. Also, the Auto-play function is an excellent assistant to create the perfect gaming session at the casino when playing several games at the same time. If besides the emulators, you are a fan of the video poker, then you should pay special attention to the automatic game function. Activating this function allows you to choose the best cards, which will only increase the chances of winning.
Where to play?
- The best deal of our website - Fastpay casino. All versions of table and live blackjack, fair attitude to players and instant payouts (1-5 minutes).
Attention to the balance
Of course, before you start using the above tips in practice, then you can try to play in free mode. You can see recommendations for testing the slot machines in demo mode to create the perfect gaming session at a casino for the real money using the link above. If you want to risk the real money immediately, then you will make sure that the account has enough funds to conduct a simultaneous game. Well, do not rush to play at the maximum bets, because, perhaps, exactly the tactics of small stakes that will be your best choice.

Lovely weekend with lots of sunshine!!
I hope you all had a lovely weekend….here in the UK the weather has been amazing!!
I think I may even have a little tan!!!
During the weekend I had some friends over for a Barbeque, we ate yummy food and had this gorgeous pudding made by my mama with lots of ice cream!! It was gorgeous!!
As the weather was lovely we decided to take the doggies for a long walk round the local lake we have and here are some pictures of our walk!
|Lovely sunny day!
|Ducks in the distance!
|Lots of people enjoying the sunshine 🙂
It was a lovely walk and the sunshine was beautiful….the dogs didn't think so…they were so tired by the end of it…we had to stop every so often to give them water and pour some over them….they probably felt like little marathon runners!!
At one point Thunder started barking at the ducks and Cassie was looking at him as if to say 'What are you doing!?' that made me laugh! haha….
Thunder (the little boy) is sat behind me on a pillow, he's fast asleep…he's had a busy day running in the garden chasing the bee's!
Cassie (the old lady) is sat on the couch opposite me and the sun is shining on her through the window….she loves sitting in the sun…how sweet 🙂
I hope you have all had a lovely, relaxing weekend too!
Layla xx
P.S I'll be writing a post on OPI nail polish shortly 🙂 xx

Modern Orthodox? Conservative?
Something that has been personally very difficult for me is growing and becoming more observant and trying to connect with other women for shabbat that are my age and are also in the middle and growing. The last week alone I have spoken to sooo many people and networked and inquired on shabbat.com and called various synagogues in Brooklyn, as I would love to find other Modern Orthodox or Conservative women who keep shabbat and kosher and the holidays, but are not considered themselves frum. When your growing, like I am, it's sooo important to have a sense of community. Where does one go when you/re not secular anymore or frum?
In my case, since I'm nostalgic for the company of good friends and like to socialize, I reach out. I have been doing so and hope that at the end of summer I will find a group of people that I can grow with who will be my community. There are so many different types of Jewish People with various labels.
I believe there should be one for a group of people in the middle to also connect with each other in Brooklyn. What I have been finding is that they are soo scattered. The ones who are not frum and not secular and are on the brink of growing or going backwards.
For me, it will be a personal thing to create a group that are in the middle who will connect and network to other resources and places to go for shabbat.
I heard an amazing lecture by Rabbi Mitzrachi, there is one set of rules and one God and we shouldn't forget or modify the rules. That's why repenting and changing your actions are so important. However, if we are not a 100% becoming frum, and it takes us longer to listen to our Father's rules and grow, there should also be a place where we are comfortable if we are in the middle..
This will be my mission…to start a network where can grow and support each other and if we are ready to take on more mitzvot then that will be the course and that's where the support and networking will come in..

Dear Friends,
We Christians are a peculiar people. The wonderful old King James version of the Bible translated 1 Peter 2:9 in this memorable way: But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should show forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. It is a memorable passage in God's word written to describe that odd and disparate people who are Christians. We are, among other things," peculiar".
We are peculiar because our true home – our final home – is the new heaven and earth. We are peculiar because, while our "citizenship is in heaven", we are to seek the true good of the earthly city which we sojourn in. We have no "holy city" but if we bear witness to Jesus Christ crucified in our earthly city then it will become more holy.
We are peculiar because we come from every tribe, nation, language, race and social class. We are peculiar because our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, has called us to go and proclaim the Gospel to every people group on the planet. We are peculiar because it is God alone who saves. We merely receive by faith what God has accomplished through the life, death and resurrection of His one and only Son, Jesus Christ. What God has accomplished for us in Jesus Christ crucified is offered to every people group in the hope they will respond by faith.
We are peculiar because, in Jesus Christ, we are learning to die to the idols of our sin. At the same time we proclaim the true and living God. We are peculiar because we acknowledge that we are not special in any earthly sense with no cause to boast. Our thoughts can no more "capture" or "know" God than anyone else's. We are peculiar because we are learning to know that we are beggars. God has revealed Himself in His word written and pre-eminently in the birth, life, death and resurrection of Jesus Messiah. He has done all of the revealing; we merely receive and know, listening as He speaks.
We are peculiar because, like Ottawa, we also value hope and family and peace and generosity and joy and goodwill. Yet, unlike Ottawa, we know they are, at best, attempting to worship "the unknown God". We are peculiar because, like the Apostle Paul, we are to say, "what therefore you are to worship is unknown. This I proclaim to you."
So today in our services we proclaim Jesus Christ crucified as we remember and celebrate His humble birth in Bethlehem over 2000 years ago. The Creator Himself enters His creation as a baby born. The Word, the second Person of the Trinity, took on flesh – in other words, took on human nature – and was born a baby in Bethlehem. He came, our Creator, to live a life we could not live and die, on His creatures' behalf, taking upon Himself our doom and offering to us His reward.
Friends, brothers and sisters, and guests – Merry Christmas!

As of August 2018, Escalation Queues are now available, read about how to enable them below!
- Claiming Queue Items
- Escalating Reviews
- Prioritizing Reviews
- Managing Review Volume
- Creating a Queue
The smart claim feature provides a seamless experience for teams that have multiple analysts reviewing in the same queue. Analysts claim queue items as their own and, as they work through them, are automatically served the next unclaimed item. This prevents analysts from colliding with each other while they review.
Smart claim works without any extra effort: when an analyst clicks into a queue item, it is claimed. The queue overview page will reflect which analyst claimed the item, so other analysts know it is being investigated. This queue item will not be served to other analysts until it has been Decisioned, Escalated, closed, or if the analyst has had the item open for more than 60 minutes.
Escalation Queues function just like normal queues, but items only end up in an escalation queue after they have been reviewed once.

(CNN Business)If everything goes according to plan, truck driver Gordon Terry needs 44 hours to haul a shipment of car parts from Turin, Italy to Jaguar Land Rover's factory outside of Liverpool.
"By law, 10 hours is the most you can drive in one day," Terry said as he pointed to the tachograph which records his time on the road. The driver for Alcaline International Haulage Company gets as far as he can — usually about 500 miles — before stopping for the night.
Terry has been driving the heavily trafficked route from Italy's industrial heartland to auto factories in the north of England for 25 years. Many of the parts he carries are bolted onto vehicles within hours of their delivery in Britain, making him an essential part of the just-in-time manufacturing process used by companies like BMW (BMWYY), Airbus (EADSF), Nissan (NSANF), and Jaguar Land Rover (JLR).

When you upgrade your overhead door, one hundred per cent of your focus is usually on your new door and everything it's going to do for your garage.
But what about your old door?
At Abe's - yes, you've heard this before - we love all garage doors. Even old ones! Once your door installation in Edmonton is complete, it's only the beginning of all the things you'll be able to do - with both your old and new garage doors. From tabletops to display frames, the possibilities are diverse and surprising.
More of a commercial overhead door customer? How does having us lead your next safety meeting sound? Download our OVERHEAD DOOR SAFETY MEETING TOOLKIT today to find out more!
Let's check out some of the most creative ways we've found to repurpose your old overhead door in Edmonton:
1. Create a stunning dining room table
This piece is amazing. There's no reason to throw away perfectly good materials, and a tabletop is a great choice for something that's already large, flat, and made of wood. Especially when reclaimed wood can be extremely expensive, it only makes sense to repurpose what you have.
2. "Build" yourself a solid statement headboard
As you can see, a little stain (or paint) goes a long way. We're door fanatics so we'd love to get a garage door into a new room, but with the treatment on this example, it's actually hard to pinpoint where the headboard originated. It's also much easier to create a headboard from panels that are already attached than to fit multiple pieces of wood or pallets together yourself.
3. Turn it into a custom bench for your backyard
Now here's an overhead door that was completely transformed. Doors in Edmonton can absolutely be repurposed into seating, as long as the door in question is still sturdy enough to support some weight. This recycled bench is great for the backyard in the summer and works as emergency seating or as a mudroom boot bench in the winter too!
4. Use the panels to display art
Total makeover. In this repurposing project, the old overhead door is completely unrecognizable. This is something that could be done with traditional or bifold doors, as long as they have panels with cut-outs. Preserving existing garage door panelling is a smart way to create frames for art, letters or even photos, adding a crafty statement to your home.
As you can see, an old door can really be something to get excited about. And when it comes to your new door, you can spend less on overhead door repair in Edmonton too – check out our Preventative Maintenance Checklist to keep it operating smoothly.

"Transition, Magic and Creation; Mind, Body, and Soul; Earth, Sea, and Sky—everything comes in three, three forces that symbolizes the binding of uniting powers creating a stronger whole."
This necklace serves a lot of triangular representations, and definitely reveals a sense of stronger, collective power within you.
This necklace gives the triquetra symbol that mainly defines the triple companionship of the goddess (maid, mother and crone). It is also considered to represent the connection of the mind, body, and soul, as well as the three domains of earth according to Celtic mythology--earth, sea, and sky.
This necklace also has representation of the human skull, creates an illusion of a triangle with its three major holes and openings (two eyes and mouth). It redefines the triangulation concept of two "forces joining together to create an offspring of great portent". While some people find the skull a macabre symbol, it actually indicates divinity, concentration and initiation, and mainly the "house of the soul".
This necklace will keep you spiritual connection with the deities and the tiny skull will keep you reminded of the human potential and human humility.
This pendant is handcrafted from nickel and lead free pewter. In other words, this is a very durable and allergic free necklace. You can wear this powerful necklace all day long.
The pendant measures approx. 1.5 x 1.5 inches. You can choose your cord size and style above. Please note that the cotton cord comes untied, so you can tie it to your preferences yourself.

Originally from Stockholm, Sweden, Chef Fredrik Berselius has spent most of his culinary career in New York City, bringing his love for nature to his urban surroundings through food. Berselius opened ASKA – Swedish for 'ashes' – in its first rendition in 2012, garnering acclaim for bridging the culinary heritage of his upbringing with the immediate environs of his Brooklyn address. Within a year, Aska earned Berselius his first Michelin star, and Bon Appetit named Aska one of the ten best new restaurants in America.
In the summer of 2016, Aska reopened in a new, bilevel space – with a main dining room, garden, and cellar bar – located in a restored 1860s warehouse building near the edge of the Williamsburg Bridge. Within a few months, Aska earned Berselius his second Michelin star, being one of only ten restaurants in the city to hold the honor. Shortly thereafter, Aska received a three-star New York Times review by Pete Wells.
With an emphasis on ingredients from the surrounding Northeastern U.S. region and influenced by Berselius' Scandinavian homeland, Aska offers a distinctive dining experience through a procession of courses prepared from an open kitchen and served to guests of only ten tables each night. Berselius recently released his first cookbook, Aska, published by Phaidon, in the spring of 2018.
We are very delighted to present you the motifs photographed by photographer Charlie BENNET c/o AGENT MOLLY & CO for ASKA. askanyc.com

Rules for Men in Online Dating
The entire concept of "online dating" utterly fascinates me. People have been meeting the "normal" way for hundreds of years, and somehow we've all managed to exist. Yet, how is it that now we are all "too busy" to continue that tradition? I mean, the internet to most men is for pedophiles, porn, and cheating, right? Not "dating". And how do you "date" over a computer anyway? These questions and more would run through my head anytime the topic was brought up and somehow I'd always manage to be the buzzkill and blurt one out. Oops, there went my girlfriend's fresh excitement for her new profile on EDateaChristianandMingleorFish.com…sorry
However, that's just one side of the argument. The other side that I can't deny are the few blissfully happy marriages I have personally witnessed come from this odd new form of interaction. Therefore with skeptical curiosity manning my sails, I decided to look into this phenomena myself and see what I could dig up to either support my argument or shut me up…
First, I'm going to start with a brief story…
Many many years ago, before I became rather an emotional "dude" myself in many ways, I was amidst a frustrated, tear-laced conversation with my dad involving how to communicate with men. Although he has always been completely accustomed to and comfortable talking about "feelings" with his daughter, this didn't allow me to grow up with a realistic picture or expectation of how women could really talk with men. Simplifying it, he stopped me and gave me some advice that I have not only never forgotten but have continued to pass on to many of my friends in the same boat –
The Equation of Talking to Men =
"When you ___ it makes me feel ___ . If you do not want me to feel ___ , then please don't ___ . "
This format for conveying "feelings" to men has worked pretty well for me since and gives them a practical application at the same time. Plus it's straight-forward, an all-around win for women if you can accomplish it!
~ * ~
I am going to use the same logic for this article, hopefully aiding any men who may read it.
MEN: When you online date, I (and most women) would assume you are looking to actually meet someone. If you do not want to meet someone, please continue to do exactly as the following men have done. However, if you would like to meet someone, do the opposite.
Let's begin.
~ * ~
It seems that men will put just about anything in pictures with themselves online:
token "hot chicks"
protein powder
his family
lube (not joking)
gang signs
random musical instruments
I think I speak for all women when I say…
Don't be:
- The guy who wears his sunglasses in all of his pictures. Are you blind?
- The guy who poses in so many group shots that we don't know who the f*** you are.
- The guy who always poses with his 1 attractive friend to get girls to click on his page. Ya you know who you are. Don't use.
- The guy who lies about his age. We can tell.
- The guy who uses an old pic with an ex + crops her out. We can tell.
- The guy who thinks the "Facebook Default outline" = a picture. It doesn't.
- The guy wearing one of those awful "Keep Calm And … " shirts. Done.
- The guy who can't help but pull your pants/underwear/shorts down to the dick line. Look, we know you have one. We aren't unaware. Just because you're obsessed with it doesn't mean we have to be off the bat.
- The guy who's passed out on a couch with a giant magic-marker dick drawn on your face. 1 this means you're an idiot and 2 this means you have shitty friends.
- The guy who so over-edits his pictures that they look like something straight off of a Zack Snyder film. #300? Don't. You don't have those abs and…we can tell.
- The guy who poses next to a $140-$350k car. It's not yours, but maybe you're good at renting things...
- The guy who's constantly making that "surprised" face. Are you ok?
- The guy who takes all his pictures in his bathroom. I don't want to see what kind of toilet cover your mom got for you, thanks.
Oh and needless to say – I am not an "online dater" but I had an absolutely amazingly super entertaining time dipping my toe in the pond to put this week's blog together

Getting a Package From UPS? Future Delays Possible
You might have to think twice about ordering an item online. The Teamsters Union and UPS have voted to go ahead and strike. The reason behind the strike is that UPS is still considering going to a seven-day delivery schedule. The employees want to make sure that they will be compensated accordingly.
Currently, a full-time driver makes about $75,000 a year and part-time employees are paid $15 an hour.
Would a UPS strike deter you from ordering items online that need to be delivered or does this sound like the US Postal Service could see some more business soon?

How to Get Rid of Bats and Protect Your Home Now
Bats are amazing creatures. They are the single best way to control the insect population in a given space. The problem, though, is that they've gotten quite a bad rap over the years. Many people are seriously afraid of these little creatures, and while they can't really do any serious harm to people, they can certainly tear up your attic or garage in a hurry. While it's best to typically leave bats alone, if they've invaded your space, and you want to know how to get rid of bats, these tips can help.
- Make Certain They're Actually Living In Your Space: Bats tend to sleep all day, so you may not actually be sure if you have bats in your attic. Fortunately, there are a few signs that you can watch for to determine whether you have a problem. If you've actually found a bat in your home, it's possible you have a whole colony living in your space. If you've heard a fluttering or scratching at dusk or dawn, it's possible you're dealing with a bat infestation. Additionally, if you see bat droppings in one particular area, you may also have a bat problem. To tell for sure, take your lawn chair outside as sunset hits. Look up and around your house to decide whether you see any bats leaving their roost for the night. If you do have them, you'll notice them head out for a solid feeding.
- Identify the Spaces Where They're Coming In and Leaving: The next step is to figure out exactly where they're coming in. Bats tend to have several entry holes leading in, so you'll want to identify all of those if you're going to keep them out.
- Choose an Exclusion Method: There are all kinds of exclusion methods available, and we'll help you choose the right one to meet your needs.
- Seal Everything: After you're sure everyone is out, be sure you seal absolutely everything. Bats tend to have fairly long memories, so you'll have to keep a close eye on things over the next few seasons.
- Time for a Good Cleaning: If bats have been living in your home, you're going to have to deal with the droppings and urine. Often it can corrode your wood or drywall. it can also create mold, which can lead to further problems. Be sure to follow a good bat cleanup process to the "T" to prevent ongoing health issues.
Learning how to get rid of bats isn't an easy process, and it should be handled by professionals who deal with bat removal in Framingham on a regular basis. To learn more about what we can do, contact us today!

Tottenham Hotspur's Premier League fixture against Arsenal in March will take place at Wembley Stadium, the club have confirmed.
This comes after the club said that remedial work on the safety system in their new ground at White Hart Lane are near completion, and they are now set to move into the final stages of testing the fire detection and alarm system, along with its integration with the other safety systems.
The testing of these systems is vital to Spurs gaining a safety certificate for their new stadium, which will allow them to open it for matches.
However, the club have confirmed that it will not be ready for the North London Derby against the Gunners and the game will take place on March 2 at their temporary Wembley home, with a kick off time of 12.30pm.
Chairman Daniel Levy told the club website: "Once again, thank you all for bearing with us and for the great support we have received from so many different quarters. These next few weeks are pivotal."
