Seattle, Washington 98101
RE: Outreach regarding Children's Proposed Expansion
Dear Haven,
The Laurelhurst Community Club (LCC) Board of Trustees has received the correspondence you sent to the Phinney Ridge neighborhood regarding presenting Children's conceptual model for proposed expansion in that area and also asking for assistance from that community in getting your message heard. We agree with Phinney Ridge resident Irene Wall that it would be helpful for the tentatively scheduled December 13th event to have the views of the Laurelhurst community—the major stakeholder in the process—presented, at this event and others that you schedule. Residents in other areas of the city would undoubtedly be interested in the bigger picture and LCC's insights.
Could you please provide a list of events you have scheduled or are in the process of scheduling, the communities involved and contact information for those with whom you have been in touch? The Laurelhurst Community Club would like to be involved in your outreach efforts.
Thank you for your assistance.
Jeannie Hale, President

There's nothing more helpful for the fashion challenged among us than finding a clothing shop with a knowledgeable, creative, mature staff that can help you find the perfect dress for a special occasion, the swish top to make your jeans look new or that elegant or fun scarf that turns your clothes into an outfit.
The Fran Charles Shop in Ellicottville is that kind of boutique and it's now open in Ellicottville's Village Centre just next door to EVL Cheese.
If the name sounds familiar, it's because this is the second location for this staple of Bradford, PA, area women shoppers for more than 30 years. You also might remember it from the EVL Fall Festival, where scarves flew off the racks at its booth for several years running.
"We knew we wanted to expand into Ellicottville and were looking for an affordable location. The Village Centre fit the bill," said owner Susan Godfrey.
The shop caters to missy customers in sizes 2 petite to 16 who wants to dress for her maturity without compromising her flair.
The first thing you'll notice when you walk in the door is color. The shop is brimming with literally thousands of scarves in every slice of the color wheel. If you've never known how to tie a scarf, do not fear – you can learn a few clever techniques from the staff within your first few minutes in the store. How about using a large square scarf as a light-weight shrug? Or looping a long scarf to elongate the torso? Or finding the perfect accent scarf to bring out the color of your eyes?
Then you'll notice the cool, industrial space with high ceilings, exposed beams, custom display racks and mirrors mounted on skis.
Well, maybe you won't notice the space, because there's no way you can take your eyes off the clothes!
There are snug and flowy tops galore, gorgeous dressy dresses, racks of jeans and capris, and, at center stage, a colorful rounder filled with a huge inventory of Focus Waffle Jackets in all styles and sizes from small to extra large, priced at just $70.
The shop is the exclusive Ellicottville supplier of Sno Skins clothing and leggings and also carries designers such as Alex Evenings and Jovani occasion dresses, Damee, Inc. and Skovhuus tops, knitwear and jackets, jeans from JagJeans and French Dressing and many styles of slimming C'est Moi undergarments.
Did we mention jewelry? The wide selection includes statement pieces, matching sets and unique accents.
And, come winter, the shop also will be Ellicottville's exclusive supplier of Crescent Moon snowshoes for men and women. They'll be available for sale and for rent.
If you just don't have a feel for what looks best on you – especially when looking for a formal dress for an upcoming wedding or other special occasion – you're in luck.
"We know by your body type and coloring what will look great on you," said clerk Beth Laroche who works in the Ellicottville store and has worked in the Bradford location for more than four years.
"Customers are also invited to make special appointments for individualized service. We pull items together in your sizes ahead of time to have everything ready for you and, with some notice, we can order special sizes or colors to have available when you come in," Laroche added.
"It's all about customer service and expertise," Godfrey added. "Our clerks know our apparel inside and out, so they understand what works and what doesn't."
You just don't get access to that kind of knowledge at the mall.
The Fran Charles Shop also has a booming online business that offers XXL sizes as well as some specialty lines. Take a look ahead of time at francharles.com, then stop in for some serious wardrobe building. And look for special coupons in The Ellicottville Times and online, coming soon.
The shop is open Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 12-6 p.m. and Sunday from 12-3. Private appointments may be made at your convenience.

North Carolina State University – PULSTAR and Simulation Lab Tour
North Carolina State University founded the first university-based reactor and Nuclear engineering curriculum back in 1950. With the program reaching its 70th Anniversary, the program continues into the 21st century with the operation of the 1 MW pool-type, light water reactor located inside Burlington Engineering Labs on NC State's Main Campus.
The primary research purpose of the reactor is to provide a neutron source for activities such as Neutron activation analysis. For example, cobalt-60 irradiators are used by a number of departments to sterilize biological samples. It is also used for professional training for nuclear utility operators and engineers, DOE Interns, and State and local radiation protection personnel. Furthermore, the reactor enriches the department curricula by providing hands on experience as well as training for students.
The recently renovated Nuclear Simulation Laboratory is equipped with GSE's Generic Pressurizer Water Reactor (GPWR) simulator to support nuclear power related educational curriculum as well as analytical studies.
GSE's GPWR is based upon a reference US nuclear plant that has been in operation and training for over 20 years. The GPWR reference simulator has been built and tested to the American Nuclear Society ANSI/ANS 3.5 Nuclear Simulator Standard. The reference plant simulator and training programs have been rigorously audited by the US NRC and INPO to ensure compliance with regulations and industry standards. The GPWR includes high fidelity models that allow full plant operation including Normal Operations, Abnormal Operations and Emergency Operations as required by ANS-3.5 and the simulator response has been validated against actual operating plant data.
As a full nuclear simulator, it allows for the entire range of operations experienced in a commercial nuclear power plant. The simulator has been integrated into NE 201 and NE 403 to assist students in understanding reactor systems and processes needed for normal and emergency operations.
Additional tours of our plasma and nuclear materials laboratories will also be held.

Although rain boots are not as attractive as high heels or open toe shoes, you don't have resign yourself to wearing scuffed-up old boots when it's pouring outside. Rain boots come in a variety of fashionable styles and colors, and if you have a good pair, you want to show them off at their best. Inspect your rain boots for any dirt and scuff marks after each use. As most rain boots are made from rubber, scuff marks will come off relatively easy using basic, household items.
Wipe any excess dirt off the rain boots with a damp, soft rag.
Fill a small bowl with liquid soap and warm water.
Dip the rag in the soapy water and gently scrub the scuff marks off the rain boots. Use a shoe polish brush for stubborn stains.
Rinse out the soap in the rag and wipe off any leftover soap residue on the boots. Leave it to air dry.
Keep your rain boots in a dry, cool area, away from heat to keep them mildew and odor-free.

Workplace Change
Every textbook stresses the need for effective engagement in organisational change. It certainly involves more than merely 'communicating the message' in what is often a directive and even patronising way. Where issues are complex, stakes high or baggage troublesome, it is often sensible for the parties to go further and engage a joint resource – advisor, coach and facilitator whose job is not to give partisan advice but to promote the prospects of an agreed pathway and mutually beneficial outcome. A skilled facilitator can take the parties where they cannot go in unmediated exchanges.
CoSolve helps employers to recognize and then obtain that elusive 'best case' outcome by genuinely engaging with its workforce over sustainable change.
With sensible frameworks for discussion, trust can be built and parties can deliberate their way robustly and imaginatively to effective solutions.
Typically, two areas of need or opportunity arise:
- where organisations must make significant or urgent change but are burdened by troubled histories or must deal with complex challenges; and
- where organisations are seeking to establish a real competitive advantage by releasing the passion, creativity and talents of their already supportive workforce.
How do we help?
CoSolve –
- assists the parties clarify, communicate and understand their respective needs, goals and interests
- helps establish processes for effective consultation and issues resolution
- can assist with the underpinning research efforts
- trains participants in problem-solving skills and coaches them in new styles of leadership roles
- trouble-shoots specific issues as the arise
- supports the wider rollout and cultural anchoring of the change, including ongoing advice, coaching and other intermediary services

Upcoming Apple Event Will Be Live Streamed via Twitter for the First Time
Gather Round on Twitter.
Apple's upcoming Gather Round event where it will unveil several products including three new iPhones will be live streamed on Twitter. This marks the first Apple event that's streamable on the platform, as current Promoted Tweets from the tech company has to lead many to believe.
Usually, during these events, its promos remind users to follow the event beat to beat via the #AppleEvent hashtag, but this time the tweet stated to "watch" the event rather than "follow." Although the event will be streamable via Twitter for the first time, Apple says on its website its stream "is best experienced on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch using Safari on iOS 10 or later; a Mac using Safari on macOS Sierra 10.12 or later; or a PC using Windows 10 and Microsoft Edge."
The event officially kicks off at 1 pm ET/ 10 am PT and as usual, is slated to take between one to two hours before completion.
In related news, Apple just announced its first two films for its upcoming streaming service.

One of the most confounding and fundamental open problems in finite geometry is the question of classifying the hyperovals of the Desarguesian projective planes. Beyond this problem, there are many other related interesting avenues of research: what about hyperovals of non-Desarguesian planes, maximal arcs or linear codes with minimum distance 3?
An arc of a projective plane is a set of points with no three lying on a common line. For odd, the largest an arc can be in the Desarguesian projective plane is , an oval, and it is exhibited by a conic: for example, the solutions to the quadratic equation (where our points are represented in homoegenous coordinates ). To see that there can be no larger arc, choose a point not in the arc; if there were exactly points in the arc, then there would be exactly lines on meeting the arc, and this number is not an integer for odd. A bigger arc would have a sub-arc of size , so this argument rules out all larger sizes. For even, we can have points in an arc, a so-called hyperoval. But then, a similar counting argument shows that there is no larger arc. Segre showed that an oval of for odd, must be projectively equivalent to a conic. So the ovals here are completely classified. Does a similar result hold for hyperovals when is even?
For even, the tangents of a conic meet in a unique point, the so-called nucleus of the conic. This extra point then completes the conic to a hyperoval. But there's more!
Bill Cherowitzo's hyperovals page gives a run-down of the state of the art, what is known about the various constructions of hyperovals (due to Cherowitzo, Lunelli, Sce, Segre, Glynn, O'Keefe, Payne, Penttila). The wikipedia page on ovals is also quite good. By the transitivity on frames of the collineation group of the plane, we can assume that the points , , and are contained in any hyperoval. This then implies that there is a function on such that the hyperoval can be represented as . Moreover, is a permutation and can be written as a polynomial of degree . There are some other conditions which must satisfy, making it a so-called o-polynomial. So we can study o-polynomials to construct and classify hyperovals. For example, Segre showed that for , with odd, the polynomial is an o-polynomial, and it gives us a hyperoval which does not come from completing a conic.
The hyperovals of for are known to all arise from a conic (i.e., a hyperconic). For we get a different hyperoval, the Lunelli-Sce example, and according to Marshall Hall Jnr (1975), this together with the hyperconic are the only ones up to equivalence. For and we begin to see the number of inequivalent examples expand, but not by much. For , we have a complete classification due to Tim Penttila and Gordon Royle (1994). For , we know all of the hyperovals which have nontrivial symmetry (also due to Penttila and Royle, 1995).
For a while now, since Cherowitzo, O'Keefe and Penttila in 2003, we have not seen a new construction of a family of hyperovals in Desarguesian planes. Have we found them all? It is perhaps still too premature to think that we know all of the examples, yet the search for new examples is very difficult in planes of order or more. I hope to see this field of research come alive again with some beautiful new constructions. Some of the many consequences would be new generalised quadrangles, new partial geometries and new strongly regular graphs.
(Thanks to Tim Penttila for spotting mistakes of mine in a previous draft of this post!)

"McGoogan frames this exciting biography in terms of the mythological concepts of the hero and the transformative quest. Highly recommended."
Starred Review Library Journal
"McGoogan's book goes a long way towards returning Kane to his rightful position in the adventure and scientific pantheon, and through unprecedented access to the long missing first volume of Kane's private journal from his second expedition he provides valuable insight into Kane's motivations and concerns...Race to the Polar Sea will also appeal to a broad range of general history fans who will find Kane's explorations both polar and otherwise fascinating. This titles is first rate reading for arm chair adventures everywhere."
"McGoogan captivates readers again with his gripping tale of Elisha Kent Kane... in the annals of Arctic and Antarctic exploration, Kane's story ranks with those of Sir Ernest Shackleton and the tragic tale of Robert Falcon Scott." Winnipeg Free Press
"In this bone-chilling book McGoogan writes in detail of the unimaginable hardships of the 1853 to 1855 polar journeys led by Kane, a largely neglected American explorer . . . Race to the Polar Sea covers the span of Kane's action-packed thirty-seven-year life. . . . each section is engrossing and the momentum builds right up to the book's conclusion."
The Beaver
"In Race to the Polar Sea Ken McGoogan has written a fantastic thriller. From the Prologue to the last page, you are caught up in the story. What is really amazing is that Kane's manuscripts were lost for 150 years. A friend of the author, who owns an antiquarian bookstore, acquired Kane's collection from the descendants of his brother. A book not to be missed. Highly recommended.
"This account is quite extraordinary. McGoogan leaves no doubt that, by any measure, Kane was one of the greatest 19th century Arctic explorers."

Remember IBM's deal with Walmart aimed at incorporating blockchain into the food safety process? Well things just got a lot bigger.
IBM today announced nine companies across the global food supply chain – 10 if you include Walmart – have signed up to collaborate on exploring blockchain technologies.
Dole, Driscoll's, Golden State Foods, Kroger, McCormick and Company, McLane Company, Nestle, Tyson Foods and Unilever will work with IBM to 'further strengthen consumer confidence in the global food system', in the words of the Armonk giant.
For food companies and retailers, blockchain is intriguing because of its transparency in being able to trace each step of the product's journey, all the way back to the farmer.
Frank Yiannas, vice president of food safety at Walmart, explained that during a recent staff meeting, he asked his team to track a container of mango spears for each point in the food system, adding that he did not wish to disclose the results.
The news comes alongside the launch of a new blockchain platform – the first fully integrated, enterprise-grade production blockchain platform, as IBM puts it – alongside consulting services to beef up rollouts and strategic initiatives for organisations.
"Unlike any technology before it, blockchain is transforming the way like-minded organisations come together and enabling a new level of trust based on a single view of the truth," said Marie Wieck, IBM blockchain general manager in a statement. "Our work with organisations across the food ecosystem, as well as IBM's new platform, will further unleash the vast potential of this exciting technology, making it faster for organisations of all sizes and in all industries to move from concept to production to improve the way business gets done."
According to 2015 figures from the World Health Organisation (WHO), almost one in 10 people fall ill each year from eating contaminated food – with 420,000 dying as a result. Naturally, each of the food retailers emphasised security in their reaction; Scott Stillwell, SVP of food safety and quality assurance for Tyson Goods said that producing safe food was 'critical' for their business. "It appears blockchain can help provide trust not only about the origin of food, but also about how that food moved through the supply chain," he added.

If you're heading to the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, we suggest a quick side-trip to the Mecum auction taking place in Monterrey, California this Saturday. Among the many lots perched on the auction block, you'll find this baby: a fully restored, supercharged 1970 Dodge Charger. And as a bonus for movie buffs, the Hemi-powered coupe was featured in the original Fast & Furious movie, where it was driven by Vin Diesel. No word on the price it might fetch, but it's probably less than Diesel made on the film and more than our annual take-home. [Mecum via AutoMotto]

As a mentor, I'm often asked, "How do you get inspiration for a PowerShell script?", followed by something sounding similar to, "I just don't know what I can script or where to start." When I'm told that, the person saying it sounds defeated and about to give up. This was a question & feeling I had myself early in my PowerShell journey too.
"So, what's the answer, Bill?" you might ask. Well…the answer you seek, young grasshopper is…
Table of Contents
How I Started
Many years ago, I struggled to make scripts. No matter the language, it was an awful feeling of imposter syndrome. I could read some code and stumble around clumsily figuring out some bits here and there, but it was a constant struggle. It wasn't until I started documenting my IT processes that I began to correlate written word to small bits of code in my head that I could then translate in to PowerShell one-liners. Once I started doing that, things got a lot easier.
Sample Scenario
I have some maintenance tasks that I have to perform at least twice a month for user acceptance testing (UAT), quality assurance (QA) and production environments. Lucky for me, these tasks are already written down and stored in a team KB article. With half the battle already won, I carefully read through the documented steps for taking systems and applications down gracefully for maintenance.
The tasks progresses something like this:
- Place monitoring agents in maintenance mode
- Stop IIS application pools 1,2 & 3 on server #1
- Stop IIS application pool 4 on Y server #2
- Stop services on A,B,C & D servers
- Log into WSUS, approve & deadline OS updates to specific groups
- Allow reboots to occur.
My predecessors were manually performing these steps for years. Well, I'm not my predecessors. There's enough information here to begin making a script. Let's begin.
Task 1
This task could be automated, but for the purposes of this post I'm skipping it because not all monitoring platforms are the same. Moving on.
Task 2
Now we have something to work with. Using keywords, I begin by discovering what commands I have available that might stop an IIS application pool:
Get-Command -Module 'WebAdministration' -verb 'Stop'
Stop-WebAppPool appears to be exactly what I need to complete this task.
Spend a minute or two reading the help if it's the first time you've seen this cmdlet:
Get-Help Stop-WebAppPool -Online
Now I know how to tackle Task 2 and Task 3. My code now looks like this:
Invoke-Command -ComputerName 'X' -ScriptBlock {
Stop-WebAppPool -Name '$MyAppPool1'
Stop-WebAppPool -Name '$MyAppPool2'
Stop-WebAppPool -Name '$MyAppPool3'
Invoke-Command -ComputerName 'Y' -ScriptBlock {
Stop-WebAppPool -Name '$MyAppPool4'
Task 4
Now this one should be simple for anyone who is new to PowerShell, as it's a common task that is demonstrated in a lot of training material. This task will make use of the
Stop-Service cmdlet. There are a few ways this can be done, but I'll keep it simple for now so we don't get into the weeds and detract from the overall goal.
On each host, there are two services that work concert with each other as part of an application that was hosted on the IIS servers in Tasks 2 & 3.
Stop-Service will allow us to enter multiple values in the
ComputerName parameter, and since the naming scheme I'm using is short, it's not a big deal to enter them all here.
I'll also be using the
ServiceName parameter, which also accepts multiple string values. When finished assembling the code, it looks like this:
Stop-Service -ComputerName 'A','B','C','D' -ServiceName 'MyService1','MyService2'
Great! I've just saved a few minutes of not having to RDP to each of these systems, or use Server Manager, or type this all out in a PowerShell terminal.
Using the PoshWSUS Module
The whole reason for shutting all these services down gracefully is to be able to apply Windows security patches to the server OS without screwing up the applications if they were still being used during a scheduled maintenance window (humor me for a moment and save the snark about Windows Updates).
How can I work with WSUS? There has to be a module I can use…
This handy PowerShell module contains exactly what I need for the final component in my scripted task. There are a lot of cmdlets available in this module and I'm not going to explain all of them right now.
In order to complete the last step, I need to:
- Connect to my WSUS server.
Connect-PSWSUSServer -WsusServer localhost -Port 8530 -Verbose
- Store the KBs to be deployed as a variable.
$Updates = Get-Content 'C:\PScripts\Maintenance\updates.txt'
- Store a deadline of 1 hour ahead of the time the script executes as a variable.
$Deadline = (get-date).addHours(1)
- Get updates, approve then set install flag along with the deadline flag to assigned groups.
Get-PSWSUSUpdate -Update $Updates | Approve-PSWSUSUpdate -Group 'UAT','QA' -Action Install -Deadline $Deadline
- Close the connection.
As you'll see above, I've thought out the logical steps and created some pseudo code to get started. It's the same process you'll follow when trying to create your own scripts. It's almost as if there's a theme developing here!
Now on to what you've been waiting for. Let's assemble all the bits into the final script:
This script will perform documented tasks that were once done manually.
# I like to place variables at the top of the script to make it easy to change them without digging through the entire script.
$Updates = Get-Content 'C:\PScripts\Maintenance\updates.txt'
$Deadline = (get-date).addHours(1)
# Need this module loaded
Import-Module PoshWSUS
# Task 2-3
Invoke-Command -ComputerName 'X' -ScriptBlock {
Stop-WebAppPool -Name 'MyAppPool1'
Stop-WebAppPool -Name 'MyAppPool2'
Stop-WebAppPool -Name 'MyAppPool3'
Invoke-Command -ComputerName 'Y' -ScriptBlock {
Stop-WebAppPool -Name 'MyAppPool4'
#Task 4
Stop-Service -ComputerName 'A','B','C','D' -ServiceName 'MyService1','MyService2'
# Task 5
Connect-PSWSUSServer -WsusServer localhost -Port 8530 -Verbose
# Deploy OS updates
Get-PSWSUSUpdate -Update $Updates | Approve-PSWSUSUpdate -Group 'UAT','QA' -Action Install -Deadline $Deadline
# Clean up, pick up, put away. Clean up, everyday!
The key thing to remember here is, if you can write it down, you probably can script it. So go back and look at some of your documented processes and procedures, and you'll soon discover that you'll have enough inspiration to keep you busy for a while making PowerShell scripts.
Implementing Pester Tests
If you've read my past blog post on "How I Learned Pester by Building a Domain Controller Infrastructure Test", it should be pretty obvious that I'm a fan and love using Pester now. I even build small tests for small scripts like the one above.
If you'd like to learn more about Pester and testing, be sure to check out the Getting Started with Pester blog post or when you're ready to learn all the things about Pester, check out the Pester Book!
I need to a quick test with some visual output since I'm typically running this script from a PowerShell terminal manually. So, with the same pseudo code used earlier, let's build a simple test that will verify all the actions in our script did what we expected:
# My-MaintenanceTask.tests.ps1
Describe -Name 'Test Task 2 & 3 Results' {
It 'MyAppPool1 is Stopped' {
$AppPool = Invoke-Command -ComputerName 'X' -ScriptBlock {
Get-WebAppPoolState -Name 'MyAppPool1'
$AppPool.Value | Should -BeExactly 'Stopped'
It 'MyAppPool2 is Stopped' {
$AppPool = Invoke-Command -ComputerName 'X' -ScriptBlock {
Get-WebAppPoolState -Name 'MyAppPool2'
$AppPool.Value | Should -BeExactly 'Stopped'
It 'MyAppPool3 is Stopped' {
$AppPool = Invoke-Command -ComputerName 'X' -ScriptBlock {
Get-WebAppPoolState -Name 'MyAppPool3'
$AppPool.Value | Should -BeExactly 'Stopped'
It 'MyAppPool4 is Stopped' {
$AppPool = Invoke-Command -ComputerName 'Y' -ScriptBlock {
Get-WebAppPoolState -Name 'MyAppPool4'
$AppPool.Value | Should -BeExactly 'Stopped'
Describe -Name 'Test Task 4 Server A Results' {
It -Name 'MyService1 is Stopped' {
$Svc = Invoke-Command -ComputerName 'A' -ScriptBlock {
Get-Service -ServiceName 'MyService1'
$Svc.Status | Should -BeExactly 'Stopped'
It -Name 'MyService2 is Stopped' {
$Svc = Invoke-Command -ComputerName 'A' -ScriptBlock {
Get-Service -ServiceName 'MyService2'
$Svc.Status | Should -BeExactly 'Stopped'
I left out tests for servers B,C & D because they would be identical to the test shown for server A in the above example. Now all that is required to run the this test as part of the My-MaintenanceTask.ps1 script would be to add this line at the end of that script:
Invoke-Pester -Script '.\My-MaintenanceTask.tests.ps1'
Once the script has completed, you will then see output in the terminal showing the results of the tests.
If you really want to gussy up a script up to include some progress bars and have your pester results placed in a nice report you can give to a manager, then I would strongly recommend reading Adam Bertram's "A Better Way to Use Write-Progress" & watching Nick Rimmer's "How to Create a Simple Pester Test Report in HTML" to supercharge your maintenance scripts.

As many of you may have read as well as running The annual Crafts and Music event, I wanted to find a craft that I enjoyed.
Well I've started designing and building props and scenery. I think that counts as. Craft. If you saw the BBQ servery at Crafts and Music you may have found it a little posh the explanation -it was having an away day before tomorrow's show at the Haymarket Theatre, Basingstoke. Where It will be appearing as a panel for dance judges.
I've now taken to building these pop up bars to order, and even sell the plans. I think I've found my craft.

Covenant and Contract
Today I've been struck by a comment on how we relate to God. The comment was that our relationship with God is a covenant, not a contract, and that the two are different. A contract involves saying "you do this for me and I'll do this for you", while a covenant says "I belong to … Continue reading Covenant and Contract

Are Home Prices Approaching Bubble Territory?
As home values continue to rise, some are questioning whether we are approaching another housing bubble. Zillow just reported that:
"National home values have surpassed the peak hit during the housing bubble and are at their highest value in more than a decade."
Though that statement is correct, we must realize that just catching prices of a decade ago does not mean we are at bubble numbers. Here is a graph of median prices as reported by the National Association of Realtors (NAR).
We can see that prices rose during the early 2000s, fell during the crash and have risen since 2013.
However, let's assume there was no housing bubble and crash and that home prices appreciated at normal historic levels (3.6% annually) over the last ten years.
Here is a graph comparing actual price appreciation (tan bars) with what prices would have been with normal appreciation (blue bars).
As we can see, had there not been a boom and bust, home values would essentially be where they are right now.

Over the weekend, Taylor Swift, famous New York landmark, wore an $895 Balenciaga hoodie that's bubblegum pink and airbrushed with other famous New York landmarks, like the Flatiron Building. The price tag on her wardrobe choice isn't surprising, necessarily. Swift is a wildly successful pop star, and wildly successful pop stars wear expensive clothing. But the hoodie itself was the subject of a recent appropriation kerfuffle, making it a puzzling choice for one of the singer's famous Tribeca walkabouts.
In early April, a woman named Simone Suber pointed out the dark absurdity of the design on Twitter, which gained traction at the time, before landing on a few sites like Teen Vogue and Refinery29.
Balenciaga describes the sweatshirt as "Inspired by a New York 'souvenir' T-shirt," but the shirt style that it claims to reference are more than that. A couple years ago, High Snobiety traced the art of T-shirt airbrushing back at least a half-century. It grew out of hot rod and graffiti culture before its star rose along with the New York hip-hop scene in the late 80s and early 90s in large part thanks to the Shirt Kings, a trio of artists who dressed the likes of L.L. Cool J, Big Daddy Kane, and Grandmaster Flash. On down her Twitter thread, Suber posted a photo of a woman wearing a T-shirt that's emblazoned with a slogan than crystallized her issue with the hoodie: "Ghetto until proven fashionable."
Balenciaga wasn't even the first to appropriate the look. It's an appropriation of fashion's appropriation. Kanye West sold memorial airbrushed shirts for his late mother and his wife Kim Kardashian's late father after his Yeezy Season 3 presentation-cum-The Life of Pablo listening party in February 2016. By that September, Alexander Wang was giving custom airbrush shirts to his show models, and rapper YG's merch featured himself as a kid in a wreath of airbrush that reads, "Baby Daddy — 2004." Artist Heron Preston airbrushed an eagle on a hoodie for Gap (in partnership with GQ) that October. Then Balenciaga took a swing.
What makes Balenciaga's take especially mind-boggling is not only the appropriation of appropriation, and it's not just the price tag. It's also the fact that the piece doesn't appear to have any wink-y flourish that serves as a tell. Seems like anyone could pick up that very sweatshirt on Canal Street for 20 bucks and a handshake. (Not Taylor Swift though. She would get absolutely hounded on Canal Street.)

27.Blood Axis - The Hangman And The Papist (Blót: Sacrifice In Sweden,1998)
Emerging officially in 1989, Blood Axis is the result of much earlier foundations. Created and directed by Michael Moynihan, it has been and remains a sincere and uncompromising expression of his often controversial thoughts and instincts.
The first recordings by Blood Axis consisted of "Lord Of Ages" and "Electricity," two songs appearing on a German sampler CD. Thoroughly unique in their sound, the first of these tracks is a stirring orchestrated hymn to the ancient Persian sun deity Mithras, a god later adopted for a cult of subterranean worship by the legionnaires of the imperial Roman army. Although appearing on a relatively obscure release, these two initial efforts resulted in extensive radio airplay, dance club rotation, as well as mail from hundreds of enthusiastic listeners living as far away as Scandinavia, Malta, Eastern Europe and Thailand. Blood Axis had made its mark.
The band again inspired a rapturous response with the contribution of a pair of further songs to the acclaimed collection Im Blutfeuer,demonstrating more highly involved recording techniques and the ability to hypnotize listeners with subtle yet forceful atmospherics. "The Storm Before the Calm," the second of the two tracks on this CD, utilized winding piano loops, lilting choirs and the eerie sounds of early nature recordings (a thunderstorm from 1935) along with earnest vocals and historical samples to create a sound that is more than the sum of it parts, possessing an ineffable power.
In the last days of 1995, more than six years since its formation, Blood Axis unveiled the first full-length CD, The Gospel of Inhumanity. This long-awaited album has more than fulfilled all expectations, demonstrating that Blood Axis is proudly distinct from any other modern musical groups in both sound and presentation. Sealed within a stunningly aesthetic digipak, The Gospel... is a shape-shifting soundtrack which reveals more and more depth with repeated listening. Spanning from neo-classical reveries to guitardriven aggression, the sonic incisions of Blood Axis provide a haunting backdrop for vocal elucidations from Ezra Pound, Charles Manson, as well as Moynihan's own demanding voice. The Gospel of Inhumanity falls into no easy category, requiring a highly attuned level of intelligence and a mind free of pre-conception to appreciate its vast scope.
The Gospel of Inhumanity sold out two pressings for its initial release on German cult label Cthulhu Records, ensuring a fanatical following from Russia to Ireland, Norway to Portugal and everywhere in between. With virtually no promotion to speak of, the CD received rave reviews in Europe and America, and was even voted one of the 10 best albums of 1996 by UK extreme music glossy Terrorizer. Now powerfully remastered and re-issued on Misanthropy, the Gospel is destined to be heard by an even wider audience.
In November of 1997, Blood Axis played its first proper live show in Sweden at a special 10 year anniversary celebration for the legendary death industrial music label Cold Meat Industry. This special concert was attended by fans who came from as far away as Germany, Belgium, Austria and Latvia, and drew a rabidly enthusiastic reception from the crowd. In 1998, following the release of the planned second album, Ultimacy, the band will embark on a European tour. But until then, The Gospel of Inhumanity will continue seeping its way into the subconscious of the worldwide underground.
Blood Axis answers to nothing and no one but itself. It offers a frightening and honest expression of the souls of its creators, refusing to cater to either popular opinion or the approval of the music industry. At the same time Blood Axis continues to proudly shun popular trends and the mainstream, legions of listeners respond in growing numbers to a music presented with such undiluted care and willpower.
Album "Blót: Sacrifice In Sweden"(Fantastic recording quality for a live performance) is absolute MASTERPIECE of dark ambient / industrial. Magical atmosphere of this album wraps the mind with a green fog, psychedelic visions and depths of melancholy.A mix of Bach, Prokofiev, Pink Floyd, Coil, Laibach, Nietzche and Charles Manson!
The Hangman And The Papist
The village square stands quiet
The curfew still enforced
The streets are even clear of dogs and whores
Like some evil bird-of-prey
The scaffold spreads its wings
The people build their fires and bolt their doors
The mayor is giving dinner to the officers' wives
His eldest son is learning how to fawn
The barrick block is hushed and tense
The soldiers drawing lots
Who will be the hangman in the dawn?
The lot falls on a young man
Who has served for but a year
His home is in the village close nearby
He shivers at the thought of what
He's forced to do next day
He wonders who it is who has to die?
And the full moon casts a cold light
On the gloomy prison walls
The papist walks his cell
He cannot sleep
He hears the waiting gallows creaking
Just beyond that door
He prays for he has no more tears to weep
The day begins to break
A muffled drums begins to sound
A crowd begins to gather in the square
The presence of the hangman
In his terrifying mask
Weighs heavy on the minds of all those there
The colonel reads the sentence
Which the papist knows by heart:
He has failed to show alliegence to the king
His crime is thus with God himself
And in his name he must hang
The papist, head held high
Says not a thing
The jailer binds his hands
And puts his blindfold to his eyes
He leads him through the door before the crowd
The hangman sees his victim
And the blood drains from his face:
He sees his younger brother standing proud
The hangman tries to protest
But is ordered to proceed
His trembling hands begin to take the strain
His eyes are blind with streaming tears
And he cries for all to hear:
Forgive me God we hang him in thy name!
Forgive me God we hang him in thy name!
Forgive me God we hang him in thy name!
Oh please forgive me God we hang him in thy name!
Forgive me God we hang him in thy name!

PRs for tag 'hptmv'
This is an experimental report containing PRs for tag 'hptmv' as of 5-30-2014. GNATS has no finer-grained categorization than 'kern', 'bin', 'ports', and so forth. To augment this, the bugmeisters have adopted the convention of adding '[<tagname>]' to the Synopsis field. Consider this a prototype of a better search function.
This report is generated statically.
Please give feedback on this report to email@example.com. Thanks.
PRs for tag 'hptmv':
|[hptmv] Intense disk activity (large FS newfs and/or many small files copy): DMA completion error with RocketRAID-1820A and FastTRAK-S150

Beeswax Wrap Co. - Cheese Pack
Our Cheese Pack is perfect for keeping your cheese fresher for longer, no more sweaty cheese or dry, cracked edges. They are also a great all rounder for covering bowls and wrapping sandwiches. The one thing we know you will really love is how much longer your food stays naturally fresh.
Want to make your own Beeswax Wraps? Our DIY Beeswax Wrap Kit is launching very soon, click here to find out more.
Our Cheese Pack includes:
- 3 x Medium Beeswax Wraps - 30cm x 30cm
Perfect for wrapping sandwiches, cheese and covering leftovers.
Beeswax Wraps - Made from GOTS certified organic cotton and low impact dyes, organic jojoba oil, pine resin and local UK beeswax. We source all of our beeswax from the UK, most of it from within a 30 miles radius of our workshop.
We spent a year perfecting our recipe to ensure our Beeswax Wraps really do stand the test of time. Because of the way we hand make each individual wrap you can be sure that the wax won't start crumbling off after a few washes and the edges won't begin to fray and look untidy. We started out by making Beeswax Wraps for our own use so you will also find that our wraps sizes are more generous too.
Caring for your wraps
- Wash with soap in cold water and hang to dry
- Refresh every few months in the oven
- Do not use to wrap hot food, make sure all food is cold before you use the wraps
- Wraps are not suitable for using in the microwave or oven
- Please note these wraps are flammable so keep away from naked flames

I just want to say how disappointed I was to watch Hannity on Fox News tonight…..Today even though it has been 17 years ago I thought they should of given more news time to the 9/11/01. I for one will Never Forget.
DML: I never tune into his show. I have learned that turning off the TV news after 6pm is a blessing. I have the DML APP, that keeps me informed at night. Aside from that, the night is for unwinding and relaxing. I say enjoy a book, a glass of wine and some family time. It's unhealthy to continue on so late with the news and the same ole' talking points from earlier in the day. As for the lack of coverage, I am not surprised.
Sessions to consider breaking up social media companies for violating consumer or antitrust laws. Other reports say "open to investigation." Not good enough. Needs to happen immediately.
DML: That would be heavenly.
Why am I not seeing you on FB….????
DML: I will be on Wednesday (today) at 10am, but keep in mind, there are only a few months left until the live FB shows are over. My LIVE shows will be held on my website (DennisMichaelLynch.com) exclusively.
Your 9/11 Op Ed should be printed as the Cover Story on the Front Page on every news paper in the USA; printed and electronic.
Thank You for putting the Truth out so we can share it to spread the word. Especially for the younger American's who have no actual memory or was never taught about 9/11 in our schools.
DML: Thank you.
I believe there are plenty of forces trying to work against Trump. That said, I really don't think his Sr. Staff wrote this Op Ed nor do I think they are working this hard against Trump. I could see this being a low level staffer that wants to create a story. If this is a Sr. Staffer, they sure aren't very good at controlling him and saving the country as he's sure attacked the liberal policies. 🙂 Has he got all done that he wants or that I want? Heck No! At least he's fighting for us though. It's going to take a lifetime to reverse all the damage done by the Globalists and Liberals.
DML: Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Can I just say "Wow"?! I received the "America The Beautiful" book today. When I opened it and saw that you signed it and put a couple bummer stickers in it I was so excited. It was like Christmas. I was not expecting that at all. My 21 year old daughter, who was sitting at the dining room table, thinks I'm out of my mind. I actually had tears.
I bought it in support of you and was going to give it to my husband for Christmas but not now. I have to keep this one for myself. I listen to you almost every day since September 2016. (I'm usually on the treadmill when I listen). I try and support you with little donations, hats, bummer stickers and bags. This was my favorite, just because you took the time to sign it. It's the little things. This house loves DML! Thanks to you and your family for all you do.
DML: Thank you so much for supporting me via the purchase of the photo book. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Question: Would it be possible for a "Home" button to be created on dmlnews.com?
Thank you to you and your team for all your hard work! God bless each of you! 🙂
DML: It already exists. Whether using the desktop or mobile version on the website, to get home from an article simply click the DML NEWS logo at the top.
Dennis, I'm writing to you today because I feel this topic, this subject, is so important in our role as team dml. I took a screenshot of how I listened to this podcast with Glenn Beck interviewing Tim Ballard, I hope you can find your way there, I highly recommend that you listen to it. I promise you will totally understand what I'm talking about after you listen. It talks about how these evil people are reaching children through video games for slavery and sex trafficking. And video games are just one of the many increasing ways that they reach children.
As a parent, as a grandparent, we must do something more as Glenn will tell you his own personal experience with his 12 year old son. And the eye-opening connection that Tim Ballard brings to it helps to understand the enormity and severity of this horrible attack and control of children. It is very hard to listen to, but it is what EVERYONE is avoiding, thinking that it will just go away and that it won't happen to them. And after our continued involvement with Andrew Pollack trying to help secure our schools, I know we have to do more on this topic also. Bottom line, our purpose in life, the reason for life Is to protect and save children. There is also another realization you will feel, that will help you understand why WE are and must live in this crazy upside down world. Thank you for all you do, and WE (Team DML) will never give up.
DML: I break my response up into two parts. (1) I did not listen to the podcast. I do not like Glen Beck and know too much about him to give him my time. According to some of my friends, he has treated them with little to no respect, and I totally believe them as he was very rude to me regarding the entire Newsmax finale.' That said, truth is I wouldn't need his podcast to shine light on the way in which children are being targeted via the online video games. I know a lot about it already.
(2) Mary and I have spent the entire summer talking and planning about TEAM DML and how we are taking the concept to reality. Between selling hats and stuff in order to raise money to support worthy charities that warrant our support, to creating bills to be sent for consideration to DC and state legislatures, and delivering the news both nationally and locally, the TEAM DML structure is going into high gear in 2019. The children being targeted via gaming is is a topic we will address directly through activism, and indirectly with our film called GLOW KIDS, which we are in the researching stage of production. I appreciate your concern and email. And btw, just because I don't like Beck doesn't mean you should not.

After running the snap geoprocessing tool, I want to get a count of how many features were modified, and I want an option to see those features selected in the attribute table. I need to know which specific records were modified so I can then run a field calculator on one of the fields for each feature that was modified. I basically need to flag the records that were modified after running the geoprocessing tool. I'm a GIS Specialist that works on a production team. From a business standpoint, we need know how many records we are updating so we can run reports for our customers. For example, if I can get a count after running the tool and it informs me 500 records were modified by running the geoprocessing tool, and lets say there is a total of 1000 records, I can then inform the customer that I completed 50% of this portion of the project, assuming we are contracted to snap a specific line feature to a specific point feature. This enhancement requests is not just for the snap geoprocessing tool, but should be applied to all geoprocessing tools. When you open the results window after running a tool, it only tells you if the tool executed or not. We need much more information than that.
Provide the number of records modified and the ability to see those records selected in the attribute table after running a geoprocessing tool

I actually enjoyed this novel more than I thought I would. But this could be for the simple fact that this particular novel has been built up quite a bit. Especially in the last two novels. And even if it hadn't, this still makes this a truly unique novel. One that kept me up late at night, wondering what would happen next. Which is exactly what I want in a novel, and I'm glad that Shayla Black was able to get that to me.
Sabelle knew she was in trouble from the moment her brother came home. Especially when he came home in a coma-like state that is slowly killing him. All because of the black cloud that Mathias has welded against him. A cloud that has turned Bram's own body against him. And to make matters worse nobody knows how to heal him from this state. Everything that's Sabelle has tried to has failed, every single time. It's getting to the point that she refuses to eat or sleep, for fear that her brother may leave her forever. And to stop it from happening Sabelle is putting all of her healing magic into saving his life, so any distractions are beyond out of the question. Unfortunately Ice can't accept the fact that Sabelle feels nothing for him. Especially when it's been proven to him time and time again. The only thing that's currently holding him back is Sabelle herself. She's made it perfectly clear that while she may be attracted to him, she'll never truly be his. Because Bram would never allow such a thing to happen. And Sabelle would do anything for Bram. Even if it meant living in a loveless marriage. Which is what Sabelle is most likely to face. However, this is the least of her concerns at the moment. Because well Bram is in his weakened state Mathias attacks the Doomsday Brethren. Forcing everyone to abandon Bram's home and split up into groups. So that if Mathias is able to track the diary it'll only be one group targeted. Unfortunately, Mathias is able track down the diary and now Sable is in grave danger. An Ice would rather die than let Mathias get his hands on her.
This novel would be classified as an adult urban fantasy romance novel. But to be completely honest it leans more towards the romantic aspect. Which isn't a bad thing when you have characters who are like fire and ice towards each other. An that's exactly what you get with this novel. You get the main characters that are compatible in so many ways, and yet they refuse to admit it. Or at least one of them does. But that's what makes this novel such a good one. Along with the fighting, wizards, magic, and complete badassness. Which only made it seem more complete in a weird sort of way. And with all this in mind I can only give it a great recommendation from my viewpoint. Because out of this whole series so far, this is the best novel in it. It'll keep you on your toes till the very end. And even then you'll want more. So run to your nearest bookstore and get your copy as soon as possible. For it certainly won't leave you hanging.

No comment, because I have never received it. I waited on Sept 9, when it was scheduled to arrive, but nothing came. I have checked with the post office, and it is not there.

Listen to Justin Leppitsch and there's no doubt he'll still be at the helm of Brisbane next year.
The Lions coach's position appears increasingly untenable with every week that passes in a miserable 2016 campaign.
Saturday's 94-point thrashing by Port Adelaide at the Gabba was the latest in a string of humiliating results for a club saddled with debt and a lack of resources.
Throughout it all Leppitsch has stayed true to his belief the club's faith in young prospects will pay dividends.
He has also bemoaned an injury toll which has shorn him of three of his most experienced players in Dayne Beams, Tom Bell and Allen Christensen.
While many may not think it worth his time, Leppitsch is already looking ahead to an improved time for him and the Lions in 2017.
"I think we've got eight season-enders now, so we haven't had any luck either along the journey," he said.
"I'm kind of hoping and praying that the footy gods smile on me next year.

Why do C-Map's full page ads for its new Max chart format feature a woman wearing a cartographic body suit? Even the model looks like she thinks it a goofy idea! Especially since Max has so many interesting and graphic new features — panoramic photos of harbor entrances, animated tidal current predictions and navigation light characteristics, street mapping, 15 levels of land contours and 32 of depth (now in 256 colors), and a perspective view that let's a navigator see chart detail up close to the boat while still keeping an eye on what's further ahead. And none of it has been seen on plotters before. C-Map has a dedicated Max site here. I wrote about Max and Navionics' new Platinum format (not much on the Web yet) for the June issues of PMY and Sail, and we tried to use as many illustrations as possible. I think that both new formats are sexy, but not literally!
