The Home Mortgage Lending Process
- August 14, 2012
- Posted by Mcfarlin Law, in Mortgage Litigation
If you are thinking about buying a home and wondering what procuring a mortgage loan entails, this article is for you. Like any legal or fiscal process, it's always good to know what to expect so you are armed with the right documentation, information and questions ahead of time.
Step One: Preparation
Gather all documents pertaining to verification of your income, assets and debts. Income verification may include earning statements, pay stubs, W-2 forms, and tax returns for at least the past two years. If you have additional income in the form of social security, rental properties or from other sources, obtain verification of those income streams as well. Assets may include checking and savings account balances, savings bonds, motor vehicles that you own and have paid in full and any other investments. You should also have documentation of your debts on hand – Think of recurring payments for such things as student loans, car loans and furniture loans.
Step Two: Selecting a Lender
It's best to do a little bit of light research when it comes to selecting a lender. Consider who you currently bank with (Bank of America, First Republic, etc.), and ask friends, family and co-workers if they've had good experiences with any lenders. Some banks offer more favorable lending terms if you bank with them – i.e. open savings and checking accounts or move a minimum amount of cash to their bank. Get on the phone with potential lenders or go visit them in person to determine what offers you the best opportunity.
Step Three: The Application
After you select a lender, a mortgage professional at the lending institution will fill out paperwork using the documentation you provide relating to your income, assets and debts. The application requires your signature verifying the information that will be submitted to the bank for review. At this stage, you will be asked for your social security number so that the lending institution can run a credit check. The mortgage professional will also determine which type of loan best suits your situation.
Step Four: Processing
During this stage, the lending institution reviews your application, verifies the information it contains and acquires your credit report. The processing of your application may take 2-3 weeks or longer, depending on how quickly the lender is able to get in touch with third parties (such as employers, landlords, etc.) for verification requirements. If there are no impediments, the lender will prepare disclosure documents that contain the terms of the loan being offered to you.
Step Five: Mortgage Underwriting
The length of this step varies depending on the volume in the market and whether or not your lender uses automated underwriting or an actual underwriter. The underwriter makes the ultimate decision on whether the loan is granted to you, double checking verification specifics and reviewing the appraisal and title report for the property you are interested in.
Step Six: Closing
If there are no clearing conditions that require you to answer additional verification questions or further explain anything in your application, then you're almost there! You will have a few days to review the terms of the loan, and then it's time to return to sign the official loan papers. Make sure that the numbers you see at the close reflect all of the numbers and agreed upon terms in your disclosures. A reputable lender will likely never purposefully change numbers on you, but it's always good to triple check your terms.
Most importantly, remember that you are paying for this loan – this isn't free money that the lender is giving you – so you have the right ask as many questions as you want and clarify anything that confuses you! We focus on mortgage litigation at McFarlin LLP and have helped many people deal with mortgage problems and achieve favorable outcomes. Let us know if we can help you.

Note from BW of Brazil: Another day, another example of why Brazilians are not "all equal". It's just funny that perhaps millions of people around the world wouldn't assume that such blatant, open displays of racist sentiments occur in a place like Brazil. Well, how much more evidence is necessary? And for all of those Brazilians who continue to insist that "somos todos iguais" (we are all equal), I would LOVE to know why someone would refuse the service of a black woman in a restaurant and prefer to be waited on by a blond, I mean, if you, in fact, DO believe that we are all equal? As bad as the blatant prejudice in this case was, that's not even the worst part. That lies in the fact that the victim of discrimination didn't seem to realize that had been discriminated against and didn't want to take any action!

The age of the globe-spanning, family-run media dynasty is almost over, but one shining example of this former Camelot fantasy remains: Namely, the Murdoch empire—a $75-billion behemoth that owns everything from book publisher HarperCollins to the Times of London and the Wall Street Journal. As with any other form of royalty, even the tiniest power move is watched and dissected, and the latest is no exception.
According to a number of reports, Rupert Murdoch will step down as CEO of 21st Century Fox—which was split off from the original News Corp. holding company as a separate public entity in 2013—and will hand the reins over to one of his sons, 42-year-old James. The elder Murdoch will apparently stay on as co-executive chairman, a role he will share with his other son Lachlan, 43.
Whether James can handle the job of CEO remains to be seen, however. The only major role he has held single-handedly so far—as opposed to being co-chief operating officer of Fox, the position he holds at the moment, where he shares power with COO Chase Carey—was running News Corp.'s British holdings during the phone-hacking scandal, where his performance was seen as decidedly mixed.
Fox shares tumbled on the news that he is set to take the top spot, although they later recovered somewhat. The company's share price has been more or less flat since the split that created News Corp. and Fox in 2013.
The fact that Murdoch senior would eventually hand over his power has never been in doubt, of course. The legendary media mogul is 84 years old, and while he is apparently still as feisty and combative as ever—and regularly uses Twitter to pursue his various political and social agendas—he is clearly thinking about succession.
In the wake of the phone-hacking scandal in the U.K., in which The News of the World had been accused of hacking the phones of a number of celebrities and members of government, James Murdoch's future with his father's company was unclear at best. There was even speculation that Murdoch senior might either pick someone outside the family to run some of his business operations, or hand the reins to his other son Lachlan.
At one point, Lachlan was the one who was supposed to inherit control, and was even referred to by some inside the company as "the prince." But he and his father clashed while he was deputy chief operating officer of the holding company, where he felt his every decision was being second-guessed by his father or his lieutenants, and he eventually moved to Australia. Rupert lured Lachlan back into the fold last year when he was made non-executive chairman of both News Corp. and Fox.
For his part, Rupert has maintained that he never wavered in his support for James—telling Fortune's Patricia Sellers in an exclusive interview that his son had performed his management duties admirably:
"Everyone talks about hacking in London. That all happened long before James took charge," Murdoch told Fortune. "He took STAR television and [made it] the No. 1 broadcaster in India, with about eight channels, and is making a big difference to that country. He completely changed BSkyB and lifted the bar there in every way—and added huge value to News Corp."
Despite this paternal praise, the big risk for Fox at this point is that the ascension of James could result in the company losing its "adult supervision"—that is, Chase Carey, whom many have seen as the real power behind the Murdoch throne. According to a number of reports, Carey will leave his official position, but will remain as an advisor to Rupert (according to CNN Money, Fox News chairman Roger Ailes will also continue to report to the elder Murdoch rather than James).
Keeping Carey around, even in an advisory position, could be a critical factor for the stock price. Laura Martin of Needham and Co. told Reuters: "The most important thing in the immediate term is that Chase Carey not leave," adding that "if the implication of Rupert handing the title to his son is that Chase Carey leaves in the near term, we would expect that to negatively impact the stock prices."
The Murdoch family currently owns a little over 10% of the shares in both News Corp. and Fox (which has a market value of about $67 billion), but control close to 40% of the voting power through their ownership of class B multiple-voting shares. That means they have effective veto power over the future of the company and the board of directors.

This should be no secret… Marissa Webb is kind of epic… and this Marissa Webb blue trench dress is no exception to that. Top it off with the fact that I snagged this at super sale at about $120 and you've got the perfect classic addition to your wardrobe. I love the fit of all of her pieces and this is definitely one that will transition through the seasons. It can easily be worn on its own or layered like I have done here for the colder weather. And added bonus… this piece can be worn at the office if you are one of those corporate types like me. Make a statement in any board room by being the chic boss babe that you are! There are still a couple of sizes left of this exact Marissa Webb blue trench dress for the same steal price of $129 marked down from $595! Snag it while you can, I promise you won't regret it! And as always you can shop my other picks to replicate this look at the bottom of the post.
The other items include these must have OTK boots. Not only are they are great price, they also have the perfect toe point that creates what I think is a sexy silhouette especially with a stiletto heel. It's definitely got a high heel and arch but if you have any Louboutin 120mm pumps, you should be used to the "no pain no gain" life. Either way they are worth a shot. And they are from ASOS who offers free delivery and free super easy returns so it's worth a try yea?

STATIONERY 101, Volume 22: Stacking Invitation Pieces
Do you have a skill or task that you do so often you could literally do it with your eyes closed? For me, it's making coffee, cooking Sunday sauce, knotting the perfect bow, and assembling wedding invitations. There's a good chance that, unless you're also a stationer, the two latter skills might not come as easily to you.
I've actually had brides tell me they've watched YouTube videos on how to tie a bow, and that they've googled how to properly stack the pieces of their wedding invitation. I've had other brides email me and ask me for an assembly how-to. At first I felt like when friends ask me how I make my Sunday sauce. Um. Uh. You just throw a bunch of tomatoes, meat, and herbs into a pot. Easy, right?
Alright, alright, there might be a bit more of a science when it comes to wedding invitation assembly. There's no real right answer, but my general rule of thumb is to go from the largest piece to the smallest. More specifically, here is how I like to stack pieces.
THE INVITATION goes on the bottom, face up (meaning the wording is facing up).
INSERT CARDS get layered on top, from largest to smallest. All face up.
REPLY ENVELOPE goes on top of the insert cards.
REPLY CARD gets placed under the reply envelope flap.
TAGS or SMALL CARDS would then go on top of everything (remember, the suite gets assembled largest to smallest).
RIBBON or BELLY BAND can be used to hold everything together. If you're putting a tag or small card to fasten the ribbon or belly band, you would assemble it so that the seam of the band is fastened behind the tag. This way the tag hides the seam.
See, it's not too complicated! Here are some photos of beautifully assembled suites.
Do you have any other ways you like to stack invitations? Anybody stack with the pieces behind the invitation?
Thank you for joining me in another Stationery 101 post! Don't forget to catch up on past Stationery 101 topics here, such as Letterpress 101, Foil Stamping 101, and Engraving 101.

What a fantastic weekend it was.
Prince Harry marries Meghan Markle at Windsor Castle, parades around in the horse drawn carriage and later drives off to the evening party in an E Type Jag - class all the way.
So much glamour on show but done in a very cool way. The gospel choir singing Ave Maria in the chapel and the Most Reverand Michael Curry delivering one of the most funky and up to date sermons ever at a royal wedding. Such a well planned event. Congratulations to them. Below are a couple of snaps from the telly (as you do) showing the Long Walk parade and the couple in the carriage - so cool.
On Friday before the weekend I ran my monthly half marathon and pushed it further completing 24k in 2.5 hrs which is a personal best for me. 21k is a half marathon and the heat was about 20degrees but it was worth the strain so I could enjoy Saturday. The Dublin marathon in October is only getting closer.
Tiny reminder about the marathon relevance to Pop Star Party news:
In October this year I will be running the Dublin marathon so am currently training 4 days a week to build strength & passion for running - I will be running for a charity also and that charity is ChildLine Ireland.
I'm taking a food supplement for extra energy & all round organic support to diet:

Tenacity is a non-verbal love story that features the slow decay of love. Lila goes to a daytime party. Shortly after arriving she finds herself overwhelmed with emotions. She feels completely overstimulated, until she meets Luca. The two fall in love and they set off on an adventure together. Each room in the house symbolises a new stage in their relationship and they get to know each other better and better.
The first room shows the overwhelming first period of a relationship. The evening falls and the situation gets more and more confusing. When the morning comes, they lose each other in one of the last rooms. Colour, light, sound and movement introduce you into the feelings of the different stages of the relationship. Lila walks back through the house where it all began. She realises the colours are not what they initially appeared to be. The sounds are also muffled and different. Was she holding on to an idealisation or was it all an illusion?
I wrote this story during the last period of my relationship. My senses gradually shut down and I could not understand how the end was so different from the beginning. Why did I at first feel so euphoric and in the end so apathetic? Just as a relationship can end like the story of Lila and Luca, so can a night out in town. The magic of the night can sometime be a shark contrast with 'the morning after'. I want to visualise this experience and these feelings through this short film. Tenacity is a translation of my relationship experiences combined with the mystery of the night.
Almost everybody will experience an extreme crush in his or her life, and a lot of people will most likely see their story resembled in the story of Lila and Luca. People who are out looking for love, people who go out to parties and social events and who perhaps are not that experienced in finding love, are the perfect audience for Tenacity. These people especially will find a lot of recognition in this film and will learn something from it. An older audience will also find the film enjoyable, probably with a different perspective.
By comparing the relationship to a party, different stages of the relationship pass through different rooms in the house. Lila and Luca experience a variety of situations together. The evening starts very colourful but appears to darken as time passes. As there is no spoken language, the other senses are accentuated. The story is told in colours, sound and motion. As it goes when you first fall in love, it seems like all your senses are hyperactive. It's like you can hear smells, taste colours and feel sound. When love ends, the opposite happens. You slowly feel more and more numb.
To speak the language of love, you don't need any words. In this film I want to show the different stages of being in love by using different senses. Exploration, adventure, trust, frustration, and acceptance.
This project is supported by, amongst others, De Ontmoeting, a platform for filmmakers that links organisations and producers. Media platform Vice has selected Tenacity as a support project for the coming period.
Actors/dancersThe main characters, Luca and Lila are communicating through body language, for which we need two good actors. There is a party going on in the background. A party without dancers is like a horse with no saddle. That's why a lot of good dancers are needed besides the two main characters.
LocationTo build all the different rooms that represent all the different phases, we need a location. There's a surreal atmosphere in the entire house, even though from the outside nothing seems odd. The somewhat derelict house is a sharp contrast to the impressive colours on the inside. The colours are initially overpowering, but get darker and more dull the further the story unravels.
HeroesAs soon as we've found a perfect location, the project can really come to life. We need a big crew to make this happen. Camera, light, sound, art-directors, stylists, producers and all other heroes are needed to make this project a success.
CostumesThe costumes are an important element in this film. The silhouettes and colours add a lot to the story as they change colours throughout the stages of the relationship. In the first rooms the colours are light and striking. As the journey continues, the costumes become increasingly dull and darker. In total, over 20 costumes are needed to make the entire transformation possible.
MusicA good party has good music! In the entire film we'll hear the same poppy song, though slightly altered in each room. A song will be produced that matches each room and each stage of the relationship.
Ayla Spaans (26) finished her bachelor Image and Media Technology at the Hogeschool voor de Kunsten in 2017. For a year she's been a creative conceptualiser and director at advertising agency Boomerang Agency. Ayla's work is colourful and often dreamy. Tenacity is her first short film, based on her previous relationships and translated into a shape that fits her preferences as a maker.

LeTourneau University's Center for Faith and Work will host guest speaker Diane Paddison, 4word founder and Chief Strategy Officer for Cassidy Turley, during its chapel service at 10:50 a.m. Wednesday, April 11, in the S.E. Belcher Jr. Chapel and Performance Center, 2100 S. Mobberly Ave., in Longview.
Paddison, who wrote the book "Work, Love, Pray," founded 4word to connect, lead and support young professional Christian women ages 25 to 40 to reach their God-given potential.
She is a former chief operating officer of two Fortune 500 commercial real estate companies and achieved great career success over two decades in the real estate industry, one that is dominated by men. She earned her undergraduate degree from Oregon State University and her MBA from Harvard.
"It's a privilege for us to have Diane on campus," said LETU Executive Director of the Center for Faith and Work Dr. Bill Peel. "She is one of a growing number of business leaders who recognize that the workplace is harmed not helped when people leave their faith outside the door of their workplace. She provides a wonderful example for the young women who are LeTourneau students, but also has a message for all of our students as they continue to learn to integrate faith and work."
Paddison's expertise in strategic planning, recruitment of key leadership, leadership development and talent management are valuable assets in her ministry to young career women.
As the former chief operating officer of ProLogis, Paddison focused on organizational process and helped to bring together global teams in the areas of operations, technology, sustainability, marketing and customer account management.
As the president of client accounts for the global corporate services at CB Richard Ellis, Paddison was responsible for delivering services through 4,500-employees, in a client-centric account management delivery model. In this role, she integrated CBRE's service lines to provide a single point of contact for corporate clients, and led recruiting, mentoring, and succession planning efforts to develop a team dedicated to service improvement.
As chief operating officer for global services for Trammel Crow Company prior to its being acquired by CBRE in 2006, Paddison developed Trammel Crow's client strategy for global clients, maintaining key corporate and investor relationships. Paddison's real estate career began in 1987 as a leasing agent in Tulsa, Okla.
Today, Paddison serves on the national advisory board for The Salvation Army, the board of trustees of the Oregon State University Foundation, and is a board member of the Harvard Business School Christian Fellowship.

In the beginning...
When I first saw it on the menu at a trendy brunch spot in none other than the Mission neighborhood in San Francisco, I looked over my shoulder to see if I could spot my guardian angel. Alas, she was working invisibly as usual, placing me in the path of my destiny in such a way as to make me believe I'd chosen it myself. For avocado and bread are my two favorite foods, and here they were together in one perfect dish bearing the unassuming moniker of Avocado Toast.
It was everything the name suggested and so much more: avocado mashed and spread on toasted bread, two perfect foods coming together to form an even-more-perfect food union. I don't cry at weddings, but sometimes I cry at brunch.
That was almost a year ago and I've been ordering Avocado Toast from restaurant menus ever since. Sometimes it soaks up the mimosas at brunch; sometimes it's an appetizer to kick off a cozy dinner with my main squeeze. Whenever the hour, whatever the meal, Avocado Toast fits the occasion.
Cooking at home...
I'm not an enthusiastic or accomplished home cook, but I'm a realist. I cook in my home on the occasions when it isn't practical to change out of my pajamas to go to a restaurant. I make mostly simple dishes that I can't botch. I find myself frequently using my two favorite foods, avocado and bread, because they are versatile ingredients and they pretty much always taste good. If Avocado Toast is really just avocado and toast, surely I can make it in my own kitchen, right?
I used Aunt Millie's Best Grains Honey and Crunchy Oat bread (I'm all about fiber now that I'm in my thirties and apparently not immortal) and a ripe avocado. I diced the avocado and then mashed the chunks with a potato masher so that the avocado would spread easily on to the toast. We don't want to lose precious chunks of avocado when we pick up the toast to put it in our mouths. Attractive foods are nice, but I have to be able to get the thing into my mouth easily. Eating is the point, after all.
I toasted the bread in my trusty toaster, though I'm sure an artisan chef could use his or her oven. Mine looks like it works fine. When the bread was done toasting, I spread the avocado on it, and voila, Avocado Toast on my own table.
Keeping it simple...
I didn't add any of the fancy toppings restaurants use. No arugula, smoked trout, capers, or unidentified seeds here. Those things are delicious and make sense when I'm paying $9 to eat Avocado Toast next to hipsters, but in my own home, I like to keep it simple. I did spread butter on one piece of toast, just to see if it added anything. It did make the dish feel more like traditional breakfast toast, but the butter is definitely not necessary.
The genius of Avocado Toast is that it doesn't matter what temperature it is served at, within reason of course. Don't serve me frozen avocado toast, please. Those stressful mornings of trying to time the toast and coffee correctly so that both are hot when you sit down to eat are over! The avocado is room temperature because it has been sitting on your kitchen counter, which is presumably inside your house, and we all know how quickly the toast will lose its heat once it has left the toaster. Soon, that is room temperature as well. While room temperature is a letdown for toast spread with peanut butter or jam, it is just lovely for Avocado Toast.
Preparing Avocado Toast in my own kitchen gives me a self-satisfied grin. It turns out I can feed myself after all.
Katie Pruitt is not a chef or even a home cook. She is a writer with a lifelong passion for toast. Although she grew up just a couple miles from the Aunt Millie's bakery in Fort Wayne, she now has loaves of Aunt Millie's bread flown to her in San Francisco on a regular basis.

Well, so much for romance! As Michael and I launched ourselves, we went straight into flow of ravens. "I count 15!" Michael yelled, but I could see more coming from the east. "Michael!" "Yep I see them…..3 more….listen – see if you can climb high and call for help."
Michael continued to fly towards the east, where we thought the portal was, while I went up, ignoring the ravens for now. We both knew, that the portal needed to be shut down. Once I was high enough, I was yelling my head off, in the hawk language, "Help! We need help over here! Help!" "The Dark Forest has opened up!".
Meanwhile, Michael was yelling in bluejay (yes the bluejay language) asking for help with fighting the ravens. Why bluejays? In addition to being beautiful, have you ever seen how nasty those birds are? Two of them can just about take down a raven, for sure!
And then I spotted it, and Michael coming up on it. The portal of strange rippling air with that weird hum they always make. But wait! What was that coming out of it just now? It was an ambiguous greyish, shapeless form, with two legs!
Whatever it was, I could sense that it was the worst sort of evil. I was about to yell to Michael about the creature, when dozens of bluejays came from every direction – and they were not there to play games! Each bluejay engaged the enemy as soon as they were close enough. It was awesome!
Flying above the fray of blue, black, and white feathers, I was trying to watch the creature, or demon, or whatever it was, so we wouldn't lose sight of it, when I saw streams of fire from Michael, hit their target with deadly accuracy. Yes!! The portal was fully engulfed. Wahoo!!
I love how Michael does that. As a human, the fire will only come out of his right hand, but as a hawk, both wings can send enough fire to burn down a house. I began speeding up, and made myself invisible as I followed the demon creature. Meanwhile two of our hawk friends joined the bluejays in fighting the ravens.
I had trouble following the creature through the forest, but every once in a while, I saw its greyish form, and he was headed straight for the humans! There was a campsite not far away with several families, and because of my eyes, I could see some children playing. "Oh dear God!" I said out loud.
It was then that I heard two explosions in the area of the portal. And there was more fire. I never knew Michael could throw explosions too, but it made sense. I knew by now he was probably running out of energy, so I lifted a quick prayer, and turned again to follow the demon-creature.
Then one of the weirdest things I have ever seen, happened. As I was flying invisible, a shadow began to cover me, I mean cover me and then some. But the shadow, was unmistakably the shadow of wings. When I turned I saw the largest eagle anyone has ever seen, I'm sure of it.
It was easily 4 times the size of any eagle I had known. I quickly became visible, and moved out of its way. Did heaven hear my prayer?
Chills ran up and down my spine, as I saw this magnificent eagle, with talons extended, heading straight for the demon-creature.
Don't be mad at me ladies…… but God I love a good fight!
I'll tell you the rest in a couple of days!
Peace Out!

|18 Oct 2001
Dover MRT Station (EW22) is an above-ground station along the East West Line (EWL). It sits within the Singapore Polytechnic planning subzone, and is physically located along Commonwealth Avenue West, next to Singapore Polytechnic.
The station takes its name from the nearby Dover Road and neighbourhood, which were former British military and residential ares and named after towns in Britain. It mainly serves Singapore Polytechnic, with bus services connecting to nearby housing estates and other educational institutions.
Dover station was the first station to be built on an operating train line, with two side platforms featuring a modern architectural design, in contrast to neighbouring East West Line stations. A large roof is suspended over the platforms and tracks, and constructed with many glass and steel elements, allowing plenty of natural lighting to reach the station concourse and platforms.

Dover station has two elevated East-West Line platforms in a side platform arrangement. Half-height Platform screen doors are installed at the platform edge for the safety of commuters, and retrofitted Pro-Jet fans keep passengers cool. Built at least ten years after neighbouring East West Line stations, Dover station features a much more modern design, with a large roof suspended over the tracks, and plenty of glass and steel elements that allow light into reach into the platforms.
Passenger Information Systems, which are plasma display screens located at each platform, display expected train arrival times and key messages. Tactile flooring helps to guide the visually-handicapped from the platform to station exits. Escalators, lifts and stairs connect the Platform level to the Ticket Concourse level below.
The station has a ticket concourse located at Level 2. It features faregates for automatic fare collection and provides access between paid and unpaid areas of the station, with at least least one bidirectional wide-swinging gate for the benefit of passengers-in-wheelchairs and those carrying bulky items or travelling with prams.
General Ticketing Machines allow commuters to purchase tickets for single or multiple journeys, and along with TransitLink Add Value Machines, offer contactless card transactions. The station office functions as a Passenger Service Centre, and is staffed during operating hours, where commuters may make travel inquiries or perform card transactions using cash payment.
Toilets and retail shops are located in the unpaid areas of the ticket concourse. A linkbridge across Commonwealth Avenue West connects to two exits on either side of the road and also leads into the Singapore Polytechnic campus.
Built in-between two carriageways of Commonwealth Avenue West, Dover MRT station has one ground-level exit on both sides of the road, linked to the ticket concourse level by a pedestrian overpass. All exits offer barrier-free accessibility for the disabled. While the linkbridge connects seamlessly with Singapore Polytechnic, it is not classified as a station exit.
Passengers for Singapore Polytechnic should use Exit A.

In addition, passengers can board free regular bus services at bus stops officially linked to Dover station depending on the situation on the ground.
Passenger Usage Patterns
Primarily serving Singapore Polytechnic, Dover station encounters low to moderate demand throughout the day.
Dover station was the first station to be built on an operating train line, with two side platforms featuring a modern architectural design by RSP Architects Planners & Engineers, in contrast to neighbouring East West Line stations. Rising 21 metres above ground, a large roof is suspended over the tracks, supported by transverse V-shaped columns going through the platform and concourse levels. It was constructed with many glass and steel elements, and overcame the challenge of working within busy multi-lane carriageways and over an operational train route.
Construction was underaken by Kumagai Gumi Co., Ltd at a cost of S$45.0 million over 22 months.
Brief History
Dover station opened on 18 October 2001.

La Fenice, directed by Jean Tubery, perform works by various composers from the library of J.S. Bach on 2 CDs, (p) 2001 Opus 111
This was originally reviewed in January, 2003.
This was an interesting collection to put together. Kind of like I was a famous musician, and you went poking around in my CD collection… well, not quite, but you get the idea. Represented are Frescobaldi, Johann Michael Bach, Johann Pachelbel, Johann Reincken, J. Rosenmüller, Fraçois Dieupart, Buxtehude, and of course, JS Bach. Wait, this is a 2-CD set. We also get more modern works by Albinoni, Raison, De Grigny, and then another generation back to d'Angelbert. It's not surprising to see so much keyboard music. One JM Bach cantata performed by soprano Salome Haller is well done. Hearing cornetto in the mix is a bit strange, but who am I to challenge authenticity of Johann Michael Bach works… The recorded sound is not the very best, but I really admire the ornamentation that sounds very appropriate from the soloist. The ciaccona by Pachelbel reminds one of the opening of Bach's great Passacaglia in C minor for organ. The inspiration for the idea? Who knows. What is very interesting about this release is the separation of nationalistic styles that found a mixture in the works of JS Bach. Unfortunately, our good violinist gets drowned out too often by the louder instruments (bassoon, cornett, etc.) I enjoyed hearing a sonata by Fux that included trombone. I am not sure this was the original instrumentation or not, but this music sounds so far removed from the works of Bach. The violin sonata by Albinoni is a perfect example of why this recording suffers: great playing by a baroque violinist (Amandine Beyer) with a sickly thin tone that is no doubt the result of poor microphone placement. Good baroque keyboard instruments are used (harpsichord - Bruce Kennedy) and three separate recording locations were required for this CD set (harpsichord, organ, and ensemble). While all the music in this collection is not arresting, this is an indispensable release for those interested in the life and music of Johann Sebastian Bach. (After reading through this review that is now over 7 years old, I find in my collection some recordings by Amandine Beyer and have enjoyed them, such as her recording by Matteis. This recording is still in my rotation, although I typically pick and choose one or two works at one time.)

Some financial professionals reacted to my Aug. 19 Op-Ed article on private equity fees and university endowments by emphasizing that superior performance justifies superior fees.
Fair enough. The essay focused on the spending side of the equation. Even if the high fees are justified, universities can and should do more to advance the charitable mission.
But given the interest, the fees are worth a closer examination. High fees are probably worth it at Harvard, Yale, Stanford, Princeton and other elite endowments that can access the top quartile of private equity and venture capital funds. At that level, the industry standard two-and-twenty arrangement (2 percent of assets under management and 20 percent of profits in fees) is a relative bargain.
For smaller endowments, however, I question the wisdom of paying high fees to get a performance that mostly tracks the Standard & Poor's 500-stock index.
And at small and large universities alike I'm troubled by the lack of transparency about fees. How does a donor, dean or trustee know whether investment fees are reasonable and proper if they don't know what the fees are?
Even the university officers who oversee the endowment often have no earthly idea how much they pay in fees. The California Public Employees' Retirement System, the huge pension fund known as Calpers, is not the only organization stumbling around in the dark. The mind-set of limited partners, unfortunately, is to focus only on asset allocation and cash-on-cash return. But that's like saying retail investors shouldn't care about hidden mutual fund fees.
Tax forms provide little useful information under current law. Nonprofit universities file a tax return known as a Form 990, and buried in the form is a line that asks the university to report how much the endowment paid in investment management fees.
But universities vary wildly in the amount of investment fees reported and even where they are reported on the return. Some seem to interpret the form as a request for information on out-of-pocket expenses, which are relatively low. Others exclude information that a rational investor would consider material, like the annual management fees paid by the investment funds in which the university invests. I'm not aware of any universities that consider carried interest a fee or investment expense, even though their counterparties (the investment management firms like the Blackstone Group, the Carlyle Group and Apollo Global Management) obviously count carried interest as income on their books.
Nor do universities disclose what investments the endowment holds, even at the fund level. Because most investments are made through university-owned holding companies in the Cayman Islands, Delaware or Nevada, the ultimate investment is often obscured.
None of this is consistent with the goal of the Form 990, which is to provide transparency.
Universities should know how much they pay, and the I.R.S. should require universities to disclose the breakdown with crystal clarity. Universities, after all, enjoy tax-exempt status under Section 501(c)(3). Donors get a tax break when they give money, and the university's investment income is tax-exempt. The public has a legitimate interest in following the money.

Bentley The Bentayga SUV
Not only is the Bentley Bentayga the most luxurious SUV in the world, it is also the fastest.
It is able to hold this title due to its 6.0 litre W12 engine. This allows the Bentayga to reach a top speed of 301 km/h and go from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.1 seconds.
The Bentayga also holds multiple design features that set it apart from the competition including the leather trimmed event seat finished with diamond quilting, which slides out of the trunk.
The luxury SUV is built with a customizable leather-trimmed interior, giving the owner 15 standard colour choices for hides and carpets. At a $266,090 price tag, the Bentley Bentayga is definitely the most luxurious way to get to a camp site.

Espy is staffed by professional, trained fashion stylists and denim experts. We believe in loving yourself, your body and spreading love to those around you. Every February we choose a unique way to spread love within the Calgary community by our #spreadloveyyc campaign.
For #spreadloveyyc 2018 espy has teamed up with Alzheimer Society Calgary. The purpose of this partnership is to further bring awareness to a progressive disease that destroys memory and other important mental functions but to also raise money in an effort to further research in hopes we will someday find a cure.
The Alzheimer Society of Calgary is a local, non-profit organization. For thousands of Calgary and area families impacted by Alzheimer's disease and related dementias, this is where community, insight, and empowerment begin. Alzheimer Society Calgary works to ensure people impacted by dementia have access to high-quality education, care and support throughout their journey of impact.
Lock It
[wp1s id='37277′]
Inspired by an ancient custom, love locks are a physical symbol of commitment. Locks can symbolize an expression of hope and humanity, a connection with the one thing that unites us all: love. That being said, espy has commissioned an interactive art piece that will be showcased on 9th Avenue for #spreadloveyyc. The heart-shaped sculpture will be placed in front of espy and become a daily interactive exhibit. A place where the commitment of relationships, goals, and achievements can be represented.
The heart-shaped sculpture is the creation of Dieter Striepe of Striepe Millwright Ltd. Constructed of reinforced aluminum, the exhibit will be on display until mid-March. After this, it will become a temporary fixture inside the store until it finds a permanent home in the local community. During #spreadloveyyc we encourage you to come and make a suggested minimum donation of $10 in exchange for a love-lock that you can write on and affix to the sculpture. 100% of proceeds go directly to Alzheimer Society Calgary.
Make the Promise
We are encouraging you to come down and make the promise to yourself and the ones you love by locking that promise to the sculpture. That promise could be as simple as the goal of fitting into that little black number again or as complex as committing yourself to something deeper. Take the time to manifest it into something special this #spreadloveyyc month at espy.
Together we will showcase the impactful stories of everyday people around us affected by Alzheimer's and dementia. Show your support by donating today.
How are you spreading love in 2018?

It seems unbelievable that workplaces today are still dealing with the age-old topic of jealousy, despite efforts to be inclusive. Recent Tallest Poppy research, which focused on women, found that more than 40% of 1,500 survey respondents witnessed co-workers being attacked or 'cut down'. Behaviours by perpetrators (equally split between women and men) included dismissals of achievement, cyber-bullying, taking credit for others' work, leaving out or ignoring successful coworkers, or downplaying achievements.
If you Google 'Tallest Poppy' syndrome, you'll find it comes from ancient legends with symbolism related to 'cutting down' people who were challenging to the success of others. Some of these metaphors include: in the days of Aristotle, leveling a corn-field by plucking off the ears that stood out above the rest; in the 7th century BC, rulers pre-empting challenges to their rule by 'cutting off all of the best and tallest ears of wheat'; and in the 1700s, 'striking off the heads of tall poppies' to stop their growth.
In the workplace, the tall poppy syndrome is the desire to pull down or down-play a high-performing, successful colleague. It could be that this scenario is closer to home than you think. There may be signs that your organization has a culture where the 'tall poppies' are afraid of coming across as 'smarter' than their bosses, feel bullied by peers, or are disengaged because they are not given opportunities to excel. Reflect for a moment on the culture of your workplace and ask yourself:
1: Does the culture feel collaborative or competitive?
2: Are 'stand-out' employees recognized or are their achievements downplayed?
3: Do employees speak positively about their co-workers or does 'water cooler' talk revolve around criticizing and cutting down others?
4: Do high-potential employees see a path for their careers or have high performers (the ones who are hard to replace) exited your organization because they weren't given opportunities to flourish and grow?
Last month, our blog focused on Red-flag behaviours that contribute to a toxic culture. And behaviours such as devaluing the contribution of others was #1 on our list. This may sound 'corny', but to go along with the ancient garden metaphor, building a culture where everyone is valued is about cultivating and ensuring the growth of your entire 'garden', from short marigolds to tall poppies!
At the Centre for Character Leadership, we help organizations build Character Cultures and Character Values where:
Would you like help in building a culture where people celebrate others' success rather than cut others down? There are many ways to get started in building a character culture, and the solutions will vary depending on your current culture. For example, if you have had high performers move on to careers in other organizations, a good place to start may be to conduct exit interviews to find out why your 'tall poppies' left.
If you suspect that there is an issue in your organization, contact me and we'll get started in diagnosing the situation and then building an action plan. The end result should be a safe and supportive environment where all employees feel valued and want to build long-term careers.

Last month Jake and I visited Pop Pie Co for the first time! It's been a long time coming since I've wanted to come here for awhile and I was super glad we finally found a time to visit!
Pop Pie Co is located on the edge of University Heights off Park Blvd. It's street parking only in this area and we parked quite close!
We visited Pop Pie Co right after Thanksgiving so they had Turkey Pot Pies available then. I believe they had stuffing and cranberry sauce inside!
I was also tempted to try a few pies but Jake and I ended up just splitting the Classic Chicken.
This is some of Pop Pie Co's mini dessert pies – green tea on the left and coconut cream on the right. Adorable! Also who doesn't want to have a whole pie to yourself, even if it is tiny?!
The Classic Chicken Pot Pie with a side of Mashed Potatoes and Gravy cost us $11 (that's including one side dish). Now pot pies seem like a "meh, whatever, simple" kind of dish but I have to say that this one is really elevated. The crust has the perfect amount of crispiness/flakiness. The gravy inside is yummy and full of fresh herbs and compliments the mix of vegetables and chicken inside. There's a good amount of fresh chicken chunks inside. It all works together to create a lovely and delicious pot pie.
Jake only wished for more gravy inside. But he always wishes for that.
The mashed potatoes comes with chicken gravy on top. These are creamy and the gravy is quite good!
Jake and I both loved the creamed corn [$4] which we got as an additional side dish. I liked that this wasn't too heavy or too creamy. The sauce tastes light and you can definitely still see/taste the corn kernels. The seasoning was great on this one!
Jake opted for the mini Pumpkin Cream Cheese pie [$3.95]. I love the sizes of these tiny pies at Pop Pie Co! That dollop of cream cheese on top really changed up and added to the flavor of this pumpkin pie! The spices were on point and the cream cheese added a big of tangy/creamy flavor to the pie. The crust was also wonderful – flaky, buttery, and everything a pie crust should be.
I was in the mood to have something a little chocolatey and opted to try the Salted Caramel Chocolate Pie [$4.25]. This one has intense chocolate flavor so if you're not a chocolate lover then skip it – but if you are, then you're in for a treat! It almost tasted like a brownie to me since it's a bit thick and dense. It's like having brownie and pie together…. oh baby! I was not even remotely able to finish even this tiny pie because it's intense in flavor – but it sure satisfied my sweet tooth!
I also noticed that Pop Pie Co has day old pies in their case available for a discount. This would be a great idea to take some pies home for lunch or dinner! Jake and I will definitely be back to partake in more delicious pies!
