|The Real World: Seattle cast member, 1998
Irene McGee is a podcasting pioneer[1] who created and hosted No One's Listening, a podcast about the mass media.[2][failed verification] She came to public attention in 1998 as a cast member of the MTV reality television series, The Real World: Seattle.[3] McGee left the show during filming due to ethical objections of the production. In late 2013, she wrote an article for Vulture Magazine explaining her early departure titled "Slaps, Lies and Video Tape".[4] Additionally, McGee released a stand-up routine explaining what happened to her in the days after the slap.[5] In May 2018, McGee started a nonprofit Nap4Lyme, to raise awareness and money for Lyme Disease.[6] Says McGee, "I thought of this idea in bed and I'm hoping with the awareness and money raised from the #nap4lyme campaign we can put this disease to bed. Plus, who doesn't need a nap?"[7]
Early life[edit]
McGee is originally from Pleasant Valley, New York. She graduated from Georgetown University with a degree in English[4] and went on to receive her master's degree in broadcast electronic communication arts from San Francisco State University.[8]
Personal life[edit]
McGee has a daughter named Irene.
The Real World: Seattle[edit]
McGee appeared on the show's seventh season, The Real World: Seattle, in 1998, during which she was described by The Seattle Times as "the cynical girl from New York state".[3] During filming, she appeared sick and was suffering from headaches, and during the 14th episode, she told the others that she had Lyme disease, then left during the next episode.[9] As she was leaving, a heated exchange with another housemate, Stephen Williams, ended with him opening the passenger door of her car and slapping her.[10][11] The producers gave the cast the decision as to whether to evict Williams, and they decided to let him stay if he would attend anger-management therapy.[12][13] Activist Jello Biafra discussed the event:
We know Real World is not the real world. I recently met a woman named Irene McGee who quit this show and said not even the house was real. The fridges were all filled to the brim with Vlasic pickles delivered daily by the crate load along with gallons of Nantucket Nectar. If she drank anything else, the crew took it from her hand and made sure the Nantucket Nectar label was facing the camera instead. When she walked out, another guy in the cast of Real World hit her and the camera guy did nothing ... When she spoke out, MTV sued her. And Entertainment Weekly rated Irene getting smash mouthed the 47th most interesting event on TV that whole year ... Can't you MTV think of a better way to raise audience awareness of domestic violence than to make it look cool?[14]
VH1 ranked the slapping incident as the 9th most shocking reality TV moment.[15] In 2014, MTV included the slapping incident in a list of "The Most Iconic Moments From 'Real World's First 10 Seasons".[16]
Despite the show's portrayal of her having Lyme disease as the reason for her departure from filming, she later claimed in a taped interview aired during the 2000 reunion show, The Real World Reunion 2000, that the true reason was her ethical objections to aspects of the show's production.[17] She has since lectured at numerous colleges and conferences nationwide about media manipulation and media literacy.[18]
Other work[edit]
While earning a master's degree in Broadcast and Electronic Communication Arts from San Francisco State University,[19][20][21] McGee began a youth-oriented radio show/podcast, No One's Listening, broadcast out of the University.[19][2] The show has included interviews with Noam Chomsky,[19] Lawrence Lessig, Brewster Kahle, Violet Blue, and Jimmy Wales,[22] and won the 2006 Pubbie Award as Best Bay Area Podcast by the San Francisco Bay Area Publicity Club.[23] She has spoken to colleges about media manipulation and reality television, and has appeared on VH1 and E! Entertainment Television.[4] She hosted a talk radio show on KIFR a CBS station called "The Irene McGee Show".[24] She has also been involved with a documentary about Lyme Disease, Under Our Skin: The Untold Story of Lyme Disease.[25] For a few weeks in 2008 she hosted a Revision3 show, Social Brew.[26]
McGee was the co-founder[27] and editor of a health education site FYILiving.com, which was acquired by Action Factory.
Most recently, McGee wrote and starred in a one-person comedic storytelling show about her life called "Me, Myself, and Irene."[28]

Being grateful is about more than the occasional thanks. It's an attitude that helps you feel contented in even the most challenging of times
As gratitude has become more mainstream, the ways to practise it have become more varied. Writing down gratitudes is crucial, as the act of putting pen to paper fixes the gratitude more firmly in your long-term memory rather than simply thinking or saying it, and regular practice is where the benefits lie.
Write in a journal
If you like any excuse for new stationery there are a several gratitude journals. Try the Year Long Gratitude Journal (thegreengables.co.uk), The Daily Greatness Journal (dailygreatness.co.uk), a planner that helps you to organise your entire life and features gratitude prompts. Or Be Great Be Grateful, by Anna Murray and Grace Winteringham of design studio, Patternity, is a journal which encourages you to see the unseen in everyday life.
Send a letter
Robert Emmons found that writing letters expressing how thankful you are had a strong positive impact not only on the writer but also the person receiving the letter.
The Personalised Letters of Gratitude to Mum envelope book (andsotheymade.co.uk) makes a great gift. Little Notes of Gratitude Notecard Set (wearebreadandjam.co.uk) contains appreciative messages as well as space to add your own.
Do it digitally
What's Good is a daily gratitude app that tracks your happiness over time and has a calming breath animation. Then there's the Happijar app, a virtual jar where you store happy memories, ready to shake up, tip out and revisit on your phone, whenever you need a lift.
Take a snap
If writing it down doesn't appeal, take pictures of things you're grateful for. If you'd like to share, there are several gratitude hashtags #capturinggratitude #thisjoyfulmoment, #thehappynow and #savouringhappiness.
Turn to page 86 of December's The Simple Things for more on why saying thank you matters.

The Coming Beast in America
Those who don't know history are doomed to repeat it. If we don't take care of ourselves but rely on the government to do so, we will become slaves of the government. Beware the coming beast in America:
First they gave me free food.
Then they gave me free health care.
Then they gave me free contraceptives.
Then they gave me free abortions.
Then they required me to have abortions.
Then they required me to be sterilized.
Finally they killed me because they didn't want me.
But there were none to help me
Because I didn't care to help them.
Don't believe me?
Two historical examples follow, one from The Bible and the other from Nazi Germany.
We are right on track:
The Bible
Here is the first example of a people willingly selling themselves into slavery for food. The story of Joseph in The Bible teaches us that this is exactly what happened in Egypt:
Joseph was thirty years old when he entered the service of Pharaoh king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh and went through all the land of Egypt.
During the seven plentiful years the earth produced abundantly, and he gathered up all the food of these seven years, which occurred in the land of Egypt, and put the food in the cities. He put in every city the food from the fields around it.
And Joseph stored up grain in great abundance, like the sand of the sea, until he ceased to measure it, for it could not be measured. (Gen 41:46-49)
The seven years of plenty that occurred in the land of Egypt came to an end, and the seven years of famine began to come, as Joseph had said. There was famine in all lands, but in all the land of Egypt there was bread.
When all the land of Egypt was famished, the people cried to Pharaoh for bread. Pharaoh said to all the Egyptians, "Go to Joseph. What he says to you, do."
So when the famine had spread over all the land, Joseph opened all the storehouses and sold to the Egyptians, for the famine was severe in the land of Egypt.
Moreover, all the earth came to Egypt to Joseph to buy grain, because the famine was severe over all the earth. (Gen 41:53 – 57)
Now there was no food in all the land, for the famine was very severe, so that the land of Egypt and the land of Canaan languished by reason of the famine.
And Joseph gathered up all the money that was found in the land of Egypt and in the land of Canaan, in exchange for the grain that they bought. And Joseph brought the money into Pharaoh's house.
And when the money was all spent in the land of Egypt and in the land of Canaan, all the Egyptians came to Joseph and said, "Give us food. Why should we die before your eyes? For our money is gone."
And Joseph answered, "Give your livestock, and I will give you food in exchange for your livestock, if your money is gone."
So they brought their livestock to Joseph, and Joseph gave them food in exchange for the horses, the flocks, the herds, and the donkeys. He supplied them with food in exchange for all their livestock that year.
And when that year was ended, they came to him the following year and said to him, "We will not hide from my lord that our money is all spent. The herds of livestock are my lord's. There is nothing left in the sight of my lord but our bodies and our land.
Why should we die before your eyes, both we and our land? Buy us and our land for food, and we with our land will be servants to Pharaoh. And give us seed that we may live and not die, and that the land may not be desolate."
So Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh, for all the Egyptians sold their fields, because the famine was severe on them. The land became Pharaoh's.
As for the people, he made servants of them from one end of Egypt to the other.
Only the land of the priests he did not buy, for the priests had a fixed allowance from Pharaoh and lived on the allowance that Pharaoh gave them; therefore they did not sell their land.
Then Joseph said to the people, "Behold, I have this day bought you and your land for Pharaoh. Now here is seed for you, and you shall sow the land.
And at the harvests you shall give a fifth to Pharaoh, and four fifths shall be your own, as seed for the field and as food for yourselves and your households, and as food for your little ones." (Gen 47:13 – 24)
Nazi Germany
A famous statement attributed to pastor Martin Niemöller (1892–1984) about the inactivity of German intellectuals following the Nazi rise to power and the purging of their chosen targets, group after group. The text of the quotation is usually presented roughly as follows
First they came for the communists,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a communist.
Then they came for the trade unionists,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a Jew.
Then they came for the Catholics,
and I didn't speak out because I was Protestant.
Then they came for me
and there was no one left to speak out for me
( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_they_came%E2%80%A6 )
We know what happened in Nazi Germany. The same model was used by Stalin, Mao, and all other modern dictators. We're right on track, unless we do something!

Hiya, I am really glad I have found this info. Nowadays bloggers publish only about gossips and web and this is really frustrating. A good site with exciting content, this is what I need. Thanks for keeping this website, I'll be visiting it. Do you do newsletters? Cant find it.

Thanks for your encouraging comment. No, I don't have a newsletter. I tried that for a short time and decided a blog is easier – and it is!

The days of Guitar Hero and Rock Band are a distant memory for most western players. But over in Japan, rhythm games have remained a consistently popular genre. With a steady output of quirky percussion, dancing, and guitar titles still released in arcades and home consoles every year.
Bandai-Namco have announced the cult classic Taiko no Tatsujin series will be returning to North America and debuting in Europe this fall. The Nintendo Switch Exclusive "Drum 'n' Fun!" will utilize the Joy-Con's accelerometer and gyroscope for motion controlled drumming. Nintendo characters Kirby and a Splatoon Squid will also be selectable in the traditional drum mode, with more familiar names to be announced. Outside the main song challenges, up to four players will be able to play together in the new mini-game mode.
The PlayStation 4's Taiko no Tatsujin: Drum Session! will take a more hard edged approach. In a press release, Bandai-Namco highlighted the game's online features including competitive ranked play. Much like Drum 'n' Fun! there will be plenty of cameos in Drum Session! With Hello Kitty, Tekken's Heihachi Mishima, and Pac-Man already listed to appear.
Unlike the Switch version, Drum Session!'s control scheme was not mentioned. The Taiko no Tatsujin franchise traditionally uses bachi sticks on a large taiko style drum. Home ports are often functional with a bachi accessory, though the Bandai-Namco have not yet announced a western controller release.
Both Taiko no Tatsujin: Drum 'n' Fun! and Taiko no Tatsujin: Drum Session! will release in Norther America and Europe on November 2nd.

Tasting the lips of Aphrodite may be a far cry when you are in the middle years of your marriage when romance has for long waned from hearts. But, before stepping onto the altar, and unveiling the virtue's curtain, a mere indulgence in a night of sinful pleasure becomes a compulsion; compulsion which is not only a throbbing need of the hour, but the drug which sustains

Ever since Satya Nadella has taken over the reins of Microsoft, Cloud is the keyword and in a major clue at what the software giant is up to in this regards, a new leak allegedly of Windows 10 Cloud based operating system has blown the lid off of the possible features we may seen once the operating system is released.
Windows 10 Cloud is being touted as a simplified and cheaper version of Windows. The operating system was spotted in late January and now new screenshots have surfaced on the web that claim to show bits and pieces of Windows 10 Cloud as it was during its early builds. The leaked screenshots indicate that the platform will only allow users to run Universal Windows Platform apps from the Windows Store.
MSPowerUser gained access to a leaked early build of Windows 10 Cloud. The ISO file containing the Windows 10 Cloud was leaked by Twitter user @rgadguard. The publication notes says Windows 10 Cloud does not allow users to install even those Win32 apps that have are available on Windows Store through Microsoft's own Desktop App Converter.
The publication tried installing Microsoft's Visual Studio Code, which is a Win32 app, but the Windows 10 Cloud showed up an alert that said the app was not designed for this version of Windows. Further, the dialog box said "This version [Windows 10 Cloud] was made to help protect you and your device by exclusively running Windows Store apps," as can be seen from the screenshot below.
As this is an early build, there is no conclusive proof that Microsoft will not allow the Win32 apps downloaded from Windows Store to run on the platform. We will have to wait for the official launch of the platform to see if the Redmond-based company keeps the things same as they appear as of now.
Windows 10 Cloud is being seen as Microsoft's tool for competing with Chromebooks, which overtook Mac for the first time in terms of shipments in the US last year. The integration of Android apps and the Google Play store to the platform has further added utility to the affordable mobile devices.

Trust is the currency of client relationships
If I'm your client, trusting you requires me to believe you will do what you say you'll do. Critically, I want you to demonstrate you care about me and my business. Show me that my interests are as important to you as your own, and that you're not just trying to maximise your short-term benefits from our interactions.
Trustworthiness can be thought of in terms of words, actions, emotions, and motives. The following equation is a simple framework for considering the make-up of trust rather than a scientific conclusion.
T is Trustworthiness.
C is Credibility. This is the bit about words: I can trust what she says about...
R is Reliability. This is about actions: I can trust her to...
I is Intimacy. This is the emotions: I feel comfortable discussing this...
S is Self-orientation. This is about motives: I know that she cares about...
For example, I might trust your expertise but distrust your motives. Or I might trust your brilliance but dislike the way you deal with me. Winning someone's trust requires us to do well on all four dimensions in their eyes.
Credibility is the aspect of trust most commonly achieved given the focus that most people place on their expertise. Credibility is typically created through repeated positive experiences or from compelling analysis and advice, however, it's not just about expertise. It's expertise plus bearing, i.e. how you look, act, react, and talk about your subject matter. The concept of credibility includes notions of both accuracy and honesty. Accuracy is mostly rational and is about believability. We can examine someone's logic or facts, or check their claims against the direct experience of others to assess whether they're accurate. Honesty, on the other hand, is assessed more emotionally and takes longer to establish.
Most people sell themselves on the basis of their competence and buy on the basis of emotion. Consultants tend to focus on their reputation for expertise and their credentials. For me that's not enough. I look for people who also sell themselves on their honesty and ethics.
Reliability is about whether people think you're dependable and behave in a consistent way. It's the one aspect of trust that's explicitly oriented toward action. It links words and deeds. In a rational sense our reliability might be judged by the quality of our work and delivering by the due dates. On an emotional level, someone's opinion of our reliability is formed subconsciously by the extent to which we seem to anticipate their expectations and preferences.
People trust those with whom they're willing to talk about difficult things, and with those who demonstrate they care. The most common failure in building trust is the lack of intimacy, however, clumsy attempts to establish intimacy too soon can backfire.
People who appear to be more interested in themselves than being of service aren't easily trusted. Client relationships can be much more than supplier relationships or partnerships. I believe in nurturing friendships. Demonstrate empathy and concern for their well-being. Be friendly, helpful and always respectful.
Economics of trust
The trust equation provides a useful view on the economics of a relationship. Contrast the relationship with a new client with that of an existing client.
Consider a new client. On first impressions, credibility might be scored 5 out of 10 as it is based mostly on reputation and very early perceptions. Reliability might be rated 3 as the consultant is largely untested from the client's perspective. Similarly, intimacy is rated 2. Self-orientation gets an 8 reflecting the new client's natural assumption that the consultant is primarily interested in looking after his own interests.
With an existing client, the consultant has previously demonstrated their credibility and reliability and has shown genuine care for the client and the client's business. In doing so the consultant has carefully earned a degree of intimacy and trust.
|Ratio 4:1
High-retention relationships like those with existing clients are often high-trust relationships. And a strategy based on trust is typically a profitable strategy because the cost of developing new client business is 4 to 7 times higher than the cost of developing the same amount of business from an existing client.

Doubt is unnerving. What seemed so solid can come unmoored. Little do we realize that this is part of growth, part of the process of new belief emerging. It is humbling to not know. We know what we know and we know what we don't know...but we don't know what we don't know. Ah, yes, to live gently with the questions!
I am one who knows the night
And sees in darkness filled with fear.
I am lost in reflections of what-ifs, of so-whats, of too many sides.
They say, 'Do this,' 'Don't do that,'
And I tremble, shaking with questions.
I am one transfixed in anxious doubt, as by a coiled snake.
But some young part of me believes
This is a night with a view...
I am who who feels the light before it glimmers
And dances,
Alive in the knowing moment of rightness with the world.

The Metro Manila Development Authority (MMDA) has come up with resolutions to solve the traffic woes of commuters and motorists in the metropolis, a Palace official said on Saturday, Sept. 12.
Deputy Presidential Spokesperson Abigail Valte said some of the measures to be implemented this month by the MMDA concerns restrictions of provincial buses and a truck ban.
"Provincial buses will no longer be allowed doon sa mga underpasses sa EDSA, so i-ko-confine na lang po sila doon sa mga yellow lane. This will take effect immediately," said Valte during an interview with DZRB.
The truck ban hour which will be effective on September 15, shall be from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. and at 5:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. everyday, except Sundays and holidays.
Valte said there is an exemption for example, the northern truck route where allowable period will still be 24 hours subject to several prohibited dates.
"Tinutulungan din po lang natin ang MMDA na ipalabas itong impormasyon para mas madali itong ma-implement naman," she further said.
President Aquino has named Cabinet Secretary Jose Rene Almendras as head of an inter-agency task force tasked to coordinate government action to solve the traffic problem in Metro Manila.

PRAYER SERMONs
Jesus died for us so that we might be brought to God and have him as our Father in a relationship of intimacy and awe. Milton Vincent, in his book A Gospel-Primer for Christians, put it this way:
"God is radically committed to my life of prayer. He shed the blood of His Son so that I might be cleansed and rendered fit to stand before Him in love. He also permitted the brutal rending of His Son so that I might now have a way to enter into the Holy Place through the torn flesh of Jesus. 'Draw near,' he says… How can I not feel the infinite sincerity of these invitations, especially when considering the painful lengths that God endured so that I might enter his presence in prayer. Indeed the Gospel serves as the sweetest of invitation to pray." – Milton Vincent
We pray because God invites us to come to him and enjoy him as our Father, delighting in all that he is for us because of Jesus. But we also pray because we believe he is our Father in heaven with all power and authority. He is omnipotent and with him, all things are possible (Mark 10:27; Luke 1:37). As we look out at the brokenness around us and even inside of us, we are forced to face our need for the grace and renewing power of God. Prayer is how we express that need.
That is why we have launched Pray 30/20/10. We are encouraging the people of Church at the Cross to commit to creating three slots of time in your day to give 30 minutes, 20 minutes, and 10 minutes to the Lord in his Word and prayer. If you are a night owl, make the 30 minute slot in your evening. If you are an early riser, schedule your 30 minute slot in the morning. The goal is to keep your hearts tethered to God throughout the day, listening to him in his Word and speaking to him in prayer.
Schedule it in or everything else will schedule it out.
Pray with confidence that Jesus has given you access to the Father.
Pray the Bible (use the Psalms or the Lord's Prayer).
Prayer prayers of praise, confession, and gratitude.
Pray for specific needs: yours, others' and the world's.
Pray for those who do not know Jesus.
Pray for our Church's maturity, mission, and leaders.
Helping people and places encounter Jesus is an impossible vision apart from prayer. If we are going to experience God renewing our lives and relationships as well as using us as instruments of renewal in the world, we must become a praying people. We want to encourage you to use the following prayer prompts to guide you as you pray. You need not limit your prayers to this specific language, but use these prompts to lead you into more specific and robust prayers. These prompts are informed by the values of Church at the Cross and will serve us as we pray for our leaders, our life groups, our homes, and for our own personal lives. We encourage you to use these prompts in your 30/20/10 prayer times as well as in times of corporate prayer.
Pray that God by his Spirit would give us the grace to know, love and obey Jesus in greater measure.
Pray that God by his Spirit would give us the grace to rest in and respond to his unshakeable love.
Pray that God by his Spirit would uniquely shape and direct his Church through the truth in his scripture
Pray that God by his Spirit would enable us to promote love, wisdom, and holiness among one another.
Pray that God by his Spirit would empower us to courageously declare and demonstrate the gospel to our neighbors and among all nations.
Pray that God would grant us more of the Spirit's presence and power in our lives.
At CATC we believe that prayer precedes power. Join us Sunday mornings before service from 8:15-8:45am in the Conference Room as we ask God to manifest himself in power in our church and community. Childcare for birth-5th grade will be available. If you have any questions, contact Pastoral Resident, Austin Glenn.
At CATC, we value collectively praying for our church, our community, and the world. On the second Sunday of the month, you're invited to join us at Prayer and Songs for a night of worship. Childcare will be available for birth-4th grade.

Team India's star all-rounder Yuvraj Singh recenly announced that he and Hazel Keech will get married in the first week of December this year.
Yuvraj was present at a press event during the launch of 'YWCfashion'- a fashion initiative for a cancer charity founded by him.
Though only the sports stars walked the ramp but Yuvi couldn't let help from making Hazel walk the ramp. He said,"If I didn't allow Hazel to be on the ramp tonight, she wouldn't let me inside the house. So, I had had to let her walk the ramp."
When he was asked about his reactions on the upcoming biopic movie based on MS Dhoni's life, Yuvraj said that he is very excited to watch the movie and is eagerly waiting to see how his character is being portrayed in the movie.
Yuvraj was also asked whether he would like to see his biopic been made anytime soon. Yuvi's quickly reacted to this and said that his aim is to play cricket for India at the moment. But will definitely give it a thought once he retires from the game. When further asked who he would like to see in the lead role for his biopic, Yuvi jokingly said he isn't a bad actor himself.

Santander mortgage customer ratings
The table below shows how Santander performed in our latest mortgage satisfaction survey, from application process to value for money.
|Customer rating for:
|Star rating
|Customer service
|Application process
|Value for money
|Keeping you well informed
|Clarity of statements
|Transparency of charges
|Query and complaint handling
|Ability to overpay or underpay mortgage
|Online access
Star ratings based on a June 2018 Which? survey of 3,560 members of the general public, in which 392 people told us they had their mortgage with Santander.
What kinds of mortgages does Santander offer?
When we checked in July 2018, there were 85 mortgages available from Santander. Most were fixed-rate deals lasting two, three or five years.
Tracker mortgages were available for either two years or the entire mortgage term.
Santander also offers buy-to-let and Help to Buy equity loan mortgages through mortgage brokers.
Does Santander offer the best mortgage deals?
Which? analysis has found that Santander offers fewer cheap mortgages than the average lender.
In order to work this out, our experts analysed thousands of mortgages over a four-week period in June and July 2018. They compiled a total of 108 'top-10 cheapest deal' tables based on a variety of borrowing scenarios, and counted how many times each lender featured in a table.
The average number of times a lender made it into a table was 14, but Santander only featured nine times. (Data source: Moneyfacts.)
Interest rates on Santander mortgages
When we checked in July 2018, most mortgages from Santander were fixed-rate deals, meaning your interest rate is guaranteed to stay the same for a set number of years.
While Santander didn't offer the cheapest rates in our analysis, the average interest rate on a two-year fixed-rate deal from Santander was 2.1%, which is lower than the industry average of 2.81%.
If you take out a mortgage with Santander now (or have done so since 23 January 2018), you'll be eligible for the 'Follow-on Rate' (FOR) when your introductory rate ends.
The FOR is a variable rate that tracks the Bank of England base rate. This means that when the base rate changes, so will the FoR. This differs from a standard variable rate (SVR), which isn't directly linked to the base rate.
When we asked Santander mortgage customers in June 2018 about the interest rate they were paying, two in five told us they were currently paying between 1% and 1.99%.
How much could I borrow from Santander?
Below we've outlined how much you could borrow from Santander in relation to the percentage of the property's value.
|Maximum loan size
|Maximum LTV
|More than £1,000,000
Your income can also determine how much you can borrow, as shown in the table below.
|Combined income for all mortgage applicants
|Less than £45,000
|4.45 times your income
|Between £45,000 and £99,999
|5 times your income
|£100,000 or more
|5.5 times your income (or 5 times if you're borrowing more than 75% of the property value)
Can I make overpayments?
With a fixed-rate mortgage from Santander you can overpay up to 10% of your mortgage each year without paying an early repayment charge (ERC).
If you have a tracker mortgage from Santander, you can make unlimited overpayments without paying an ERC.
How can I contact Santander?
New customers can call 0800 068 6064, while for existing mortgage customers it's 0800 917 5630.
The website is santander.co.uk.
Santander mortgage eligibility
If you're buying a home and want to apply for a mortgage from Santander, you'll need a deposit of at least 5% of the property's value.
If you've ever been bankrupt or had a property repossessed by a mortgage lender, you won't be able to borrow from Santander.
First-time buyers
To be considered a first-time buyer by Santander, you can't have owned a property before.
If you're applying for a mortgage specifically for first-time buyers with another person, they'll also need to meet this criteria. Not all lenders have this rule, so it's worth talking to a mortgage broker who will be able to advise on the best lender for your situation.
Leasehold properties
If you're applying for a mortgage for a leasehold property, there must be at least 55 years left on the lease at the start of the mortgage, and at least 30 years left when the mortgage ends.
Buy-to-let mortgages
If you're applying for a buy-to-let mortgage from Santander, you must have an income of at least £25,000. This can't include income from rent on buy-to-let properties. If you're applying with another person, at least one of you must meet this income criteria.
Does Santander offer any customer incentives?
If you're a Santander mortgage customer and pay your mortgage from its '123' current account, you can receive 1% cashback every month on £1,000 of your mortgage payment.
You could also benefit from exclusive rates on Santander mortgages if you're a Santander 'Select' customer or have a Help to Buy Isa with Santander. But it's worth remembering that there could still be more competitive rates available from other lenders.

Charleston City Hall
The Charleston City Hall is an impressive structure of symmetrically placed ornament and broad wall spaces. Designed by Charleston architect H. Rus Warne, the seemingly rectangular edifice is actually shaped like a "U" when viewed from the rear of the building.
Like most buildings in Charleston that was built in the 20's, Warne designed the structure to reflect classic styles based on Renaissance and Beaux Arts traditions. The building is fronted by a grand flight of graninte steps, leading up to three massive arched doorways. Tall, evenly spaced wood windows line the sides of the building, accentuated by highly orante details. One building's important architectural features, the windows has the strongest design elements, with pediments that alternate along the facade in a triangular and segmental geometry.
Inside the building, guests are welcomed by a grand high ceilinged lobby after passing through its wood and glass revolving door. Secondary doors are present, made of bronze with high plate and beveled glass panels. Monolithic Roman Doric columns made of fine grained marble divides the outer and inner lobby. A grand 7-flight stairway connects the four floors of the building, with an ornate cast metal rail that runs all the way to the top.
The Charleston City Hall was formally opened on August 31, 1922, in an lavish evening gala attended by one-third of Charleston's population. They were welcomed by Mayor Hall, Architect Warne, contractor A. G. Higginbotham and project manager, Bonner H. Hill. After a tour of the building, it was described in the Charleston Gazette "…as integral parts, stone and steel, polished wood, dull bronze, beaten brass, costly rugs, glistening furniture, flowers, handsomely gowned women and all that is beautiful."

just to update...the planwas to run in 2016. But a footy tackle from my 4 year old daughter put an end to that and now, thanks the amazing team at the Epilpesy Society, i get to run in 2017!!!
So, why am i putting my self through torture and pain, long days training i the cold and blisters that will keep me out of heels for weeks!
I'm running for Epilepsy as Ruby was diagnosed at 6 months old. It, as parents, was one of the scariest times of our lives. Watching Ruby have seizure after seizure and not understanding what we had done to make this happen.
4 years on, we probably still haven't come to terms fully with what this means for her, but we've seen her grow and shes just the most wonderful little girl i've ever met.
The NHS offer what support is available and they do a great job in keeping an eye on Ruby and supporting what we need for her...but my biggest frustration and the desire to run is to raise awareness of the support that parents need.
How you come to terms with it? How as a mother do you not blame yourself for it? How do you support each other as parents when you see your child in full seizure and going through numerous tests and ambulance trips.
It's really hard.
Its helped me to be able to visit Epilepsy Society through the web and understand that we're not alone, to look for advice and read other peoples stories and draw strength from that.
It's been invaluable, and the more attention we can raise to find out more about Epilepsy, and also the support that can be offered, would be great.

Here is a shout out to our Craft Council Neighborhood Coordinator: Katrina!!
Jaime Gjerdingen
Katrina has been our faithful Neighborhood Coordinator for our Craft Council LitKnit circle. We have met for over two years! That means she has faithfully worked week in, week out to support our circle coming together. Even though a LitKnit circle doesn't meet every single week of the year, there is always little bits of work that the facilitator and neighborhood coordinators hold to keep the consistency of the circle in tact. Katrina. Thank you, thank you, thank you for your faithful support of your time and resources on behalf of the people of LitKnit. If you are reading this post, please comment and show Katrina some love!

Review and Video by Grace Samson
I had the great opportunity to go see Valerie June's show. I found that when I got to the Regent Theater in Los Angeles, no one was around in pure la fashion. So, in opposite fashion, I sat on the floor in the middle of it all.
As Valerie came on stage so did her warmth, bringing a smooth southern twang to the room that was emotional and strong. She was sparkly from head to toe. Her band members wore their best southern style and had very long beards.
The audience grew round and happy in their excitement and pretty soon I found that LA had shown up. I loved singing and participating with the crowd.
I had to stand and when I did, I too became a part of the sea of people taking part in a little folk in LA.
Valerie June bewitched the crowd and we all stood together in an evening well remembered. I don't know her music titles but I am excited to learn more. The songs below really stood out to me. She will be someone that will definitely be here for a long future in music.

Kawhi Leonard injury update: Raptors star set to return vs. Kings
Kawhi Leonard will be back on the floor Wednesday.
The 27-year-old star will play in the Raptors matchup with the Kings in Sacramento, according to The Athletic. Leonard missed Toronto's win over the Lakers and victory against the Jazz because of a sore ankle.
The Raptors star originally hurt his ankle Friday in the Raptors' victory over the Suns.
Raptors coach Nick Nurse and Leonard both previously said the injury wasn't serious, according to TSN. Toronto plans to be cautious with Leonard to start the season as he was limited to just nine games with the Spurs in 2017-18 because of a quad injury.
"The plan is for a little while here to not let him play (both games of) the back-to-backs," Nurse said. "I don't think we've decided how long that's going to be yet. We're going game by game."
Leonard is averaging 26.1 points and 7.6 rebounds in his first season in Toronto. The Raptors are out to a 10-1 start heading into the game against the Kings.

See below for poll link/hiatus info - http://booroo.com/app/showpoll.asp?sid=z243sapmihihhcs13052&qid=13052
Here is the promised update, yes it's a character poll announced in the corniest manner possible. (I really like polls)
As I said before Southern Cross is now going on a hiatus while I move to Japan and set myself up there. This will take a while and I'll have much less free time, but in that period there will be queued guest art.
The poll will stay up at least a month, after which I will announce the results and hopefully be able to start updating pages again.

Last month, someone close to me shared how a budding romantic relationship had ended. Her last partner passed away a few years ago and she recently decided to dip her toes into online dating. Right away, she met a guy who she really liked and who told her that he liked her back. They ate food together and laughed a lot. She felt chemistry - it was really exciting!
Then, after more dates than you can count on one hand and a few weeks of texting multiple times a day, he just never responded to her last text. When she inquired if he was ok, he never wrote back to that.
Just silence….
Of course, he could have been in a horrible accident-induced coma. However, most likely, my dear loved one got ghosted.
When she told me, I got so angry. I was angry for her and for the times I had been ghosted. I remembered a similar experience when I was fresh out of the Peace Corps. I had been dating a guy for over a month and thought it was going well. My impression was that he felt the same way, too. He let me borrow a sweatshirt and convinced me to take his lucky Gumby doll home. It smelled a bit like a relationship.
Then after I went out of town for a weekend, he stopped calling me. Because I am proud, I waited two weeks before getting in touch. When I asked him what happened, he sheepishly apologized about the pause and admitted that he didn't think we were compatible.
Despite my anger, I knew that I wasn't innocent. From early on in my romantic relationships, I have ghosted people, too. It wasn't that I wanted to leave them hanging. Rather, I just didn't know how to express that I didn't see our dates turning into a relationship, or really didn't want to hang out anymore.
Mostly, I didn't want to hurt their feelings. So I avoided responding to a message for a few hours, which turned into a few days, which eventually turned into never. It wasn't my intention to disappear, but my nonaction turned into exactly that.
The root cause of why we ghost probably comes from a fear of disappointing people. It's painful to be broken up with or told we are no longer desirable. However, from experience, we know how much more being ghosted hurts than the pain of someone being direct with us.
Direct rejection may sting in the moment, but at least we are able to heal from it. With ghosting, we may forever wonder what happened and keep pining for the good moments. It triggers old, often inexplicable wounds of abandonment that can fester for a good long time.
Being ghosted often might give us the message that we aren't worthy of communication. We wonder if we are tragically flawed. This makes us terrified of opening ourselves up in our next relationship. If we never open up, we never get to experience true intimacy (which is an essential part of having the healthy relationship we are craving).
What's scary is how much ghosting has become part of our culture. With our swipe-happy fingers, we can easily dehumanize the people who come into our lives. If we don't like one, we just have to try another and another and another….until we meet the perfect one who satisfies all of our needs. (Hint: Sadly, this person doesn't exist. Even people we like are deeply imperfect, and staying in a relationship with them can require a lot of work.)
If culturally we think ghosting is a decent way to interact with each other, it might just enforce the message that people are a commodity that exists to serve us. Not only is this a super dangerous justification that has helped people engage in immoral practices such as slavery, it also makes us feel empty on the inside. We wonder why we are still so alone when we have so many options. We withdraw deeper and deeper into ourselves and get lost in a sea of shame.
Yikes, that's a bleak picture! So what do we do? How can we work with ghosting when it happens to us or we catch ourselves doing it to others?
My idea is to practice very intentional self-care around ghosting, perhaps starting with these internal scripts...
Self-Care Script for the Ghosted:
"Wow, I just got ghosted! How rude! First, even if every part of my brain is telling me differently, I truly know this has nothing to do with me. That person must really be afraid of something to not get back in touch with me. I'm so lucky to have dodged the bullet and didn't begin a dysfunctional relationship with this person.But ugh, it still really hurts. It's allowed to hurt. It's hurtful when I begin to open myself up to someone and then they pull away. This could be triggering abandonment issues from way back when. I'll dig into that with my therapist when I see her next. But before that, I'm just going to breathe with my hurt for a little while. It's tender and needs a little TLC. Then I'm going to call my friend who gets me. I'll ask her to repeat my great qualities and share her own ghosting experiences. This sucks, but I'm going to feel this, take care of myself and emerge stronger, because that is who I am."
Self-Care Script for Those Who Are Ghosting:
"Hmm...it's been a few days since I responded to that text. I guess I'm really not that interested. I think I've been avoiding writing back because I am afraid to end it. I don't want to hurt anyone and I'm not sure how to say what I feel. But you know what? It's probably hurting this person more because I'm ghosting. I don't want that. Ok, this is hard and I'll do it imperfectly but I'm going to write back. I'm going to be direct and kind. I'll say that our relationship is no longer working for me. If I feel safe enough to say why, I will, and if it doesn't seem like a good idea, I won't. I'll end by saying thank you for the time spent together and wish them the very best. If they respond with a mean message, I'll know there are other issues. Ok, I did it, and I feel strangely sad. Did I do the right thing? Deep breaths. Yeah, it was right. It's just sad to end things, even if it's for the best. I'll just feel sad and take myself out to the movies. Then I'll call a friend who will help me see that I've done a healthy thing. I actually feel pretty good about how I handled that. I'm acting like the person I want to be."
Of course, edit these scripts so they fit your voice. Repeat them over and over so they drown out the sh*tty voice in your head that wants you to feel like the worst person in the world.
Don't worry if you wake up the next morning still feeling guilty for having ended it cleanly or bad that someone you liked never called you back. Relationships touch us in such a sensitive spot. There is no "off" switch to make these feelings stop. This may be one of the hardest and most beautiful parts of being human.
Remember that you have the power to care for yourself during these tough spots of transition. Self-care means living with integrity and not taking on other people's issues as your own. Working consciously through the experience of ghosting will help you in both arenas.
Believing in the inherent worth of yourself and others is not easy work, especially in a culture that wants to convince us otherwise. Everything that has value is usually an uphill climb. Luckily, we have the power to remember this and the energy to keep going.

As the shoot wrapped and I made my way back to my car, I reached into my pockets and felt around for the keyring, but heard no jingling. As I walked around the car peering on the ground for their metallic reflection, I saw nothing. The interior of the car yielded the same result and I started to panic. My final location for this shoot was in a field, filled with tall weeds, barely any area any more decipherable from the other. If I lost the keys on this plot of land, the odds of finding my way back to the exact location were about to be a miracle. As the sun waned in the western horizon, I knew time was against me.
A metal detector was brought in, still finding nothing. My anxiety was going through the roof and I could feel myself starting to get really discouraged. I'd searched the area, the previous area I'd shot, the car, my bag, my pockets, and the ground around the car multiple times. As dusk came in like a whirlwind, one final search down the narrow and washed out road where our cars were parked needed to be made. I pointed to the spot where the other car had been parked at the furthest point in the road we'd been on and said "That's where we were. I went no further than that." As my family member who'd helped me search looked down, he exclaimed "Well, there they are".
I'm no dummy. I had searched that spot, but for whatever reason, in the light that I'd searched, my eyes hadn't caught the keys in the muddy ground. In another hour as the light changed into darkness, a glimmer of the keys shone through, rendering themselves visible again to the eyes. I was ready to give up. I'd been beaten and my frustration was starting to get the best of me. I knew I was going to act madder than I should be if I kept searching to no avail, but I had to check one last time, while there was even enough visibility to try.
In the book of Galatians in the Bible, chapter 6, verse 9, I'm reminded of the importance of not giving up.
Again, in Luke chapter 1, verse 37, another reminder, even more important to me than the last.
Nothing. It's so easy to just give up when things start to suck, but this is not the time. Cling to life. Don't give up. The better days are ahead and your past does not define you. My keys were found today and the KEY was in not giving up.

Is my HTML experience ruined?
When I joined Amazon, working in the catalog world, it made my life shopping at Amazon hard. I'd see all the possible catalog mistakes and it's would drive me crazy.
Now that I worked with an HTML5 platform at Amazon, now I'm feeling like my HTML experience in general is getting ruined, because I'm doing the same thing with web pages. For example, this is what I saw today when I opened twitter on Chrome:
Pretty broken, right? Well, so I had to go and open it on Firefox and see what a different engine does with it:
Less broken, but still not optimal. I tried to look at the markup itself and it seems to be some very strange unicode character that is causing it. Oddly, when I look at the inspector things look much more like what it looks on Firefox. I don't know what is causing Chrome to rotate those dots and then get confused about the text width and not know how to build that div.
But let's put blame on the right place. I decided to open it on Safari then, which is also a WebKit browser. And see what happens...

KUALA LUMPUR: The ringgit closed lower against the US dollar today on weaker demand for the local note and ahead of trade talks between the United States and China, slated to kick off on Thursday.
At the close, the ringgit stood at 4.0770/0800 against the US dollar from 4.0700/0750 on Monday
A dealer said the dollar remained firm as investors were seen steering away from emerging-market assets to see what emerges out of the trade talks.
Meanwhile, FXTM global head of currency strategy and market research Jameel Ahmad said market players were holding out hope that a deal would be struck between the two giant economies sooner rather than later.
This would be viewed as a potentially dollar-negative outcome and a significant driver to push global equity markets higher, improve demand for emerging markets and commodities like crude oil.
Against other major currencies, the ringgit was traded higher, except against the Singapore dollar, where it fell to 3.0004/0031 from 2.9953/0001 yesterday.
The ringgit rose against the yen to 3.6876/6913 from 3.6913/6961, increased against the euro to 4.5960/6010 from 4.5999/6060 and appreciated against the British pound to 5.2369/2428 from 5.2495/2576 on Monday. — Bernama

Joanne and I have been doing really well! We've worked hard to find a rhythm that works for our family in this busy season of planting a church and having our third child. We now have three children: Braylon (5 years), Kyler (3 years), and Sayla (7 months). Each of them brings so much joy to Joanne and I as we watch them grow and make new discoveries. Please pray that God would protect our family from the enemy and that God would continue to provide for us in 2014. Our church plant recently celebrated one year in September! 2013 has been our first full year in church planting, and we've seen God protect us and provide for us in special ways. We're rejoicing in the people whose lives are being changed by the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Please continue to pray for us to have a spiritual and tangible impact on the people in our city. We want to see more people coming to faith in Jesus and worshipping him.
Thank you so much for your support of my family and our church. Spanish River Church will forever be part of any legacy our church leaves behind in this city. We are grateful to God for the leadership and committed members of Spanish River Church and pray the same prayers of protection and provision for you.
Love, Kris Hassanpour
