Amy (female)
The abuse happened for three years of my life but its impact has shaped every day of my existence, and will continue to do so until the day I die.
I was abused by my uncle from when I was six until about nine years old, without even knowing that it was abuse. This has had many consequences, physical, emotional, psychological, and behavioural and it took me over 20 years to make sense of the abuse and to heal my wounds. The abuse was disguised by love, affection and secrecy. It took many therapists, personal development workshops and finally a friend to help me realise that what happened to me was not right and that it never should have happened. It took courage to tell my family, to disclose, to name the abuse and take ownership of my life, my sexuality, my body, my emotions. I felt used, abused, confused, and finally I became free. Free to be myself, without shame, guilt or secrets; secrets that I had been carrying all my life. Physical illnesses I had to suffer (at age 30, I was diagnosed with an unexplained chronic genital illness), emotional turmoil, identity loss, always pleasing others and only getting love and acceptance from giving. Giving while feeling empty within.
The abuse forced me to lie, to lie to others but most importantly to lie to myself. To pretend nothing wrong was happening. To pretend it was all part of being a good girl. It was all part of being loved and accepted. How many years have I been carrying this burden and sometimes I still am? I need to keep reminding myself of my patterns of self-harm and destruction, of self-sabotage.
The inner struggle of not being understood, of not understanding myself, of having to suffer more sexual abuse as a teenager because that was all I knew. That was how I got love and affection, so I ended up repeating the patterns unconsciously.
I felt weird for many years; I felt like I was a bad person because I wasn't like anyone else. I started stealing to align myself with the feeling of being bad. Trying anything possible to not be a good girl because being a good girl meant giving in to the disgusting desires of this messed up man. He would love me, kiss me, touch me and tell me how wonderful I was as long as I met his sick sexual needs. I started stealing from sweet shops and moved onto stealing money from my parents to be able to buy sweets and later drugs.
Drug abuse: the only thing that would make me feel good temporarily. I started smoking and drinking at 13 and continued to smoke cannabis daily since age 14. By the time I was 15 I was taking amphetamines, ecstasy, LSD and then moved on to ketamine and cocaine as well until I finally stopped at age 21. I saw many of my friends have psychotic episodes and some of them being hospitalised. I started training to be a counsellor at age 19 and through going for weekly counselling and writing personal development journals for my course, I was able to understand myself and find inner resources to stop taking drugs.
The turning point for me was when I gained insight about how I was using drugs to numb the pain. At that point, I had been raving and living in squats for two years. Once I understood why I was using drugs, I had to make a decision on whether to continue using drugs to numb the pain and follow my friends' path, or be brave and stop using drugs and change my life. It wasn't easy but I left my then boyfriend, left behind most of my friends and continued with my self-healing and training to be a counsellor.
I hate this man and, sometimes, I resent my whole family for pretending it never happened. For pretending he is just a sick man. He was the abuser and I was the victim but somehow he always ends up being the victim. They say: "He had a difficult childhood himself" and people always feel sorry for him. My hatred comes from the loneliness and fear, the emptiness and sorrow that I had to live with because of what he did to me.
I escaped from that agony by coming to London alone aged 17. Years of counselling and other survivor friends helped me make sense of the abuse. I now love myself, I do. However, my identity struggles continue, my need to comprehend and heal continues. I still find myself looking for the answer and solution to fill in this emptiness that even today cannot be calmed with food, cigarettes, meditation or acceptance. Now that I love and accept myself the emptiness I feel is getting smaller because it is being filled with self-love, peace, understanding and acceptance.
I would like to mention in my personal experience, that the impact of the abuse comes and goes. I was in denial for many years. I had flashbacks at one point, I tried to tell myself that other survivors had to endure worst than me and that what happened to me wasn't so bad. Accepting that it was bad, that it did affect me was the beginning of my healing journey.
I would like to encourage all survivors to go for therapy and speak to other survivors about their experiences. It is still a taboo subject that it is not spoken about openly but I have met many men and women who have been abused and who are still fighting to make sense of, understand and heal from their traumatic experiences. I think understanding that it wasn't my fault was the key to getting confident and being able to deal with the trauma. Understanding that I was only a child and an adult should never have taken advantage of a child who was starving for affection and love.

Nationstar Mortgage(NSM) said it has set the standard for being a third party to MSR transactions and it sees growth in that sector as a big opportunity going forward.
But the company is not acquiring MSRs just for volume.
Nationstar executives spoke Wednesday morning at the 15th Annual Credit Suisse Financial Services Forum at the Boca Raton Resort and Club in Boca Raton, Fla.
Rather than focusing on buying up volume, executives said, if price is not right it will not move on an MSR deal, and Nationstar believes it has the credibility to attract the right institutions looking to do business.
Notably, Nationstar says it was in competition for the Wells Fargo (WFC) $2.7 billion MSR portfolio that Ocwen Financial Corp. (OCN) won.
That deal is now on hold because of the New York Department of Financial Services.
Nationstar told those in attendance that it is looking to deleverage some of its debt and that it remains excited about future opportunities.
It will continue to hit targets for run rates and it sees ample opportunity in the existing portfolio.
Asked about the Department of Financial Services crackdown on the Wells Fargo-Ocwen deal, the company said that interaction and scrutiny by regulators is now just "part of the business" but it doesn't see the additional scrutiny as an impediment.

Two Thumbs Up
If you love an image (whether it's yours or someone else's) and want to make sure others get a chance to see it, you can "feature" it by choosing the "Spotlight" button.
When an image is Spotlighted, it receives enhanced visibility in premium spots throughout the site. Spotlighted images are rotated through these higher-visibility positions to ensure the best opportunity for the images to be seen by JPG users.
If you see a great photo that would make a perfect entry for one of our Shoot Out photo contests but it was uploaded by another user, now you can enter that photo in the contest and, if it wins, you get to share in the contest winnings.
Like a photo editor, if you've got an eye for great work, find it and submit it to a contest. If it wins, since you staked the entry fee, you'll take home part of the prize (the rest, of course, goes to the member who shot the image).
Collections are a JPG+ feature. You must be a JPG+ member to create new collections and to add photos to collections.

Google Gooru has offered a great tip that really could fulfill an need some people may have. There are times someone will need to send me a file and it is too large to email, my Dropbox is full, and I wish they could just send it to my Google Drive account. Follow the video's steps and now they can. A script has been created that allows anyone to upload any file directly to your account.
Go to the website http://www.tinyurl.com/googledropboxscript to get the script document, make a copy of it, deploy it as a web app. You will then get a URL to share with people so they can upload documents directly to your Drive account. The URL is pretty long so I would use a URL shortener like tinyurl, bit.ly, or goo.gl to send people a shorter link.
The video talks about setting the permisisons so anyone with the link can share to your Drive, but if you are a GAfE district you may be limited to just your district's domain.
Very easy to setup. Give it a try

Tips to Prevent Panic Attacks - Tricking Your Brain
One of the major problem with panic attacks are not the attacks themselves, but constant thinking and worrying about when you will get the next attack.
Constant worrying about panic disorder will make you feel stressed out and can cause complete mess in your life. Effective tips to prevent panic attacks should address this problem and help you overcome thinking about it all the time.
Once you have had a few panic attacks, your mind may repeatedly dwell on the prospect of another such occurrence. You will always be thinking about the next panic attack. You will be wondering when the next attack happens, what will happen and how you will face it etc etc.
All such thoughts and constant dwelling of the mind will make you fearful and make you avoid various kinds of situations, places and people. This can have a huge impact on your life and cause unnecessary problems for you.
When any thought becomes an obsession in your mind, it is difficult to get rid of it in a hurry. The more you try to stop thinking about it, the more it appears to keep popping in your head time and again.
Human Brain and Panic Attacks Disorder:
However the good thing is that the human brain may get tired and bored of thinking the same stuff repeatedly over a period of time. When the brain gets bored of a thing, then it is unlikely to return to it and you may find yourself thinking less and less about that particular thing.
The same can be true for your fears, phobias and panic disorder. Once your brain gets tired of thinking about panic attacks all the time, you may find yourself thinking less and less about them.
So one of the best tips to prevent panic attacks is to make yourself feel really bored of thinking about it. Instead of trying to get rid of the thoughts on panic attacks, make an attempt to get your mind bored of it.
Simple Technique to Stop Thinking About Panic Disorder
One interesting technique I found on this forum thread is to constantly and repeatedly think or say to yourself - "I am getting bored of this now" or "I am already bored of this now", "this panic stuff is so boring" etc.
Repeating such phrases out aloud or in your mind for a few days can trick your brain to get bored of the panic attack thoughts pretty soon and hopefully this will put a full stop to your panic attack obsession.
Finally, if you want a panic attack solution which has been tried and tested by many people, then click here now.

Republic of California Timeline
|California Events
|World Events
|Emperor Agustin de Iturbide uses California as a dumping ground for those people he doesn't like. More than 10,000 are "exiled" there over the next five years.
|Mexican Empire (including California) secedes from Spain.
|Alta & Baja California Separate from the Mexican Empire. Mexico briefly lands troops in Baja and San Diego, but due to heavy resistance, a need for those troops in Mexico proper - and the fact that Mexico doesn't really consider California to be worth very much - this only leads to their withdrawal six months later and a de-facto acknowledgement that California is independent (though Mexico will claim it as their territory for the next 60 years). Britain recognizes California.
|Cherokees driven off their land and across the Mississippi. They begin to organize the local and other dispossessed Amerindians in the area. Beginnings of the Tribal Confederation ("The Nation").
|June 2nd - Mexico withdraws from San Diego ("Independence Day").
July 17th - Mexico withdraws from San José del Cabo - ending all hostilities between the RoC and Mexico ("Pazlibertad Day").
|July 19th - Great Britain recognizes the Republic of California.
|California Governor Figueroa makes heavy use of land grants to encourage more settlers, this time with them under Californio control rather than far off Mexico City. Many arrive from British lands as ties between the two countries are strengthened. Continual rebellion in the Mexican Empire brings a stream of refugeesand there's also a small trickle of immigrants from the east coast. All help expand California's population. Influx of english speakers slow, but by 1850's they make up ~30% of population.
|Russian/American Company flourishes as increased demands for lumber and manufactured goods come from the south, and the colony grows.
|Due to influx of Russians into what will be Czarist America, California builds a fort on the north side of the Golden Gate at Point Bonita - Point Bonita Presidio. Point Bonita Pueblo founded to supply it nearby on the north bay, but growth is slow at first.
|Stawianska, in Russian American territory is now at almost 1,500 population.
|Jun 10, MM intensity X quake near San Pablo
|Last military action that can be even loosely connected to "The 1831 Rebellion" in New Mexico takes place west of Taos.
|Jun, MM X quake in Yerba Buena - similar to 1906 quake
|Big influx of spanish speaking refugees from Texas.
|Texas secedes from Mexican Empire, sets self up as Republic of Texas.
|First major gold discoveries. Big influx of everyone. Goldfield, Sacramento, and Border-City (as Valley City) founded.
|John Fremont elected governor, calls for rewriting of California's rather informal "constitution." San Pablo becoming a major port, to Yerba Buena's detriment
|The southern states secede from the U.S. - followed closely by a disgusted New England.
|"Gold Rush Fever" begins to peter our, as does immigration.
|First airship flight in France. It crashes four months later.
|Still arguing about "Articles of the Republic of California." Workman is governor. Town of Franklin founded in Salinas Valley
|Jan 9, MM intensity X-XI quake in Fort Tejon
|Articles finalized and approved. Under the new articles. 53 parliament members elected, and first parliament held on Sept 15th in Monterey. Workman appointed first PM that very meeting. First signs of english/spanish mix language. First steam train route construction from Yerba Buena (San Francisco, OTL) to Monterey started under Government run corporation.
|Y.B. & Monterey Rwy only half finished - but severely over budget. Amidst cries of embezzlement, the government's Railway Corporation collapses. Amendment to Articles bans use of government money in transportation - very loosely worded (much to future judges dismay). The unfinished line is bought at auction by California Pacific Rwy Corp. Construction starts again.
|San Pablo's port exceeds Yerba Buena's in tonnage for the first time. C.P. Rwy's Y.B. & Monterey line opens. Extension around bay to San Pablo started, with plans to join with proposed San Joaquin & Alameda Rwy.
|A British Royal Navy squadron sails into Edo Harbor, Japan. Japan slowly (and reluctantly) begins to open relations with other nations.
|Railway construction increasing. The Main Rail Lines currently in California are:
California Pacific Rwy - Y.B. to Monterey, East Bay Division, Salinas Valley Division
San Joaquin & Alameda Rwy - Hampstead to Fresno, spur to Tulare
S.J. to Alameda, S.J. to Gold-field, S.J. to Sacramento, S.J. to Merced
Los Angeles & San Pedro Rwy - L.A. to S.P., L.A. to San Gabriel
Anaranjado Coastal - S.P. to Costa Via (in receivership)
Santa Barbara & Ventura - S.B. to Ventura (under construction)
San Diego & L.A. - (under construction).
"Espanglish" becoming more common with lower classes. Basically english grammar with lots of loan words and pronunciation shifting towards that of spanish.
Russian territories in the north are challenged, but Russia, seeing this as a blow to their honor, imports both new colonists and troops, almost tripling the colony's size. California, not really having a standing army, backs down and begins negotiations to set the boarder. Approximate boarder set, at least at the coast, but exact placement inland of the coast range disputed for decades.
|Russia tries to annex parts of British Columbia. England politely coughs, and they back down and return to their previous boarders. This convinces England though that both more colonists, and a transcontinental railway to ship such, are needed in B.C. Trans-Canadian Railway construction begins. Britain gains a concession of a British enclave in Japan, and founds Port Arthur as its primary trading center.
|Oct 21, MM X quake in Hayward, damage in San Leandro & Yerba Buena 30 killed.
|Apr 2, MM IX-X quake in Hawaii. Tsunami kills 148.
|California's population increases. At some point during the 1870's, Spanish speakers cease to be the majority, though they still remain the largest language block (and will until 1887). Still primarily a agricultural country. Becoming a major shipper of beef and citrus to England. In spite of this, Rancho San Pasqual fails again, and is bought by developers. Cortez founded on Gulf of California as port for Mexican trade by California Southern Rwy. Town of Pasqual formed out of the old rancho. New towns springing up everywhere in farming areas. New rail lines continue to be built. Among them:
San Gabriel Valley Rwy - L.A. to El Monte (Arroyo route), San Bernadino to Las Flores, connecting line under construction
California Southern - San Diego to Cortez
Santa Barbara, Santa Maria, & San Luis Obisbo Rwy - S.B. to S.L.O., S.L.O. Valley Division
Sierra Foothill Rwy - Goldfield to Fresno
S.J. & A Rwy - Sacramento to Border City
C.P. Rwy - Salinas Valley Division to Franklin
Cable Street Railway's are being built in Yerba Buena, San Jose, San Pablo, & L.A. Horse cars are everywhere.
|Primitive electric train demonstrated in England. It draws little interest.
Series of boarder clashes between Texas & The Nation with inconclusive results - except to start a depression in Texas. This spreads to the Confederacy. By 1879, economic problems have forced all the states in the Confederacy to abolished slavery - making political brownie points abolishing what the depression has already made too expensive to keep. The main change for former slaves in the CSA, though, is that permanent debt to the big land owners replaces direct slave ownership.
|Mar 26, MM X-XI quake in Owen's Valley. 27 out of 300 pop. people killed in Lone Pine. Perhaps the largest In California History. Felt through most of California and the The Nation.
|Massive slave uprisings in Texas (the only remaining slave holding country in N. America). They are brutally put down. So brutally, 3 out of 5 slaves die. Thousands more manage to escape during the revolt. While slavery remains legal, this revolt marks the end of its wide practice in Texas - as they're now too expensive for most, due to their drastically reduced numbers and the continued effects of the depression.
|3,000 ex-slaves, refugees from the failed "Texas Revolt", arrive in California. Most settle the Tujunga Valley. Shortly there after, the "New England Colony" settles the Owen's Valley.
|Demonstration of new model of the electric train in Philadelphia. This time there is interest. It uses a third rail system. A test line is built. A rival system, using an overhead power supply with trolley pole, is constructed. A lawsuit by the owner of a horse which is electrocuted by the third rail insures that it is soon the only system (rumors that the horse owner has stock in the overhead system remain that).
|San Pedro Bay Company is formed, buys most of the dock facilities at the bay, and begins dredging and construction of new harbor there. Spur line from California Southern is considered inadequate, and talk of new rail line straight to L.A. commences.
The town of Silverstone is founded in the Tujunga Valley by the Texas Revolt refugees, and with access to stone supplies needed by the San Pedro Bay Company, flourishes.
In effort to regain some of its former commerce, Yerba Buena starts the Transbay ferry. Rail lines built to the ferry port at both ends. However, more and more trade is continuing to flow to San Pablo while Yerba Buena just manages to maintain the same level.
Sierra Foothill Rwy begins construction of hydropower dams in the mountains above its line. Plans to sell power to Goldfield, Sacramento, and other cities along its routes. San Gabriel Valley Rwy finishes El Monte to Las Flores link. Builds line to San Fernando. California Southern buys out failing S.D. & L.A. Rwy and merges with Anaranjado Coastal. S.B., S.M., & S.L.O. Rwy merges with S.B. & Ventura. Renamed California Coastal Rwy. Start construction of line east towards L.A.
Sierra Foothill builds line to Sacramento and starts its extension towards San Pablo.
First Electric line: Los Angeles Pacific - L.A. to Santa Monica. Very popular, local cable lines start electrification. Silverstone & San Pedro line begins construction to supply stone to the harbor works.
|Japan, angered over the Britishers lax attitudes towards its policies, revokes the British enclave's charter and burns Port Arthur to the ground. The few RN ships in port are harried eastward by Japanese forces. After doing so, the Japanese Navy returns to closely patrolling Japanese waters as Japan once more tries to draw a curtain between itself and the rest of the world.
|June 17th, first fortifications for "Fermin Presidio" started, built to protect the new Los Angeles Harbor. Will eventually become primary command center for southern half of the country.
|Aug 31, MM X quake in South Carolina, millions in damage, 60 deaths.
|Several of the smaller Sierra Foothill Rwy hydropower plants begin operation. As the powerlines to Sacramento are not complete, it uses some of the excess power to electrify part of its rail line to Sacramento as a test.
|Almost all cable lines except in Yerba Buena have electrified. Only a few horse-car lines remain in small towns. Sierra Foothill Rwy begins full electric operation on Goldfield to San Pablo line. Extension run to Ferry Port.
Pacific Electric Rwy opens its Long Beach to L.A. line.
|The Kingdom of Hawai'i becomes a British Protectorate (the RN has been stationing ships there since they were forced out of Port Arthur).
|Owen's Valley colony flourishing. They are trading heavily with the Mono Indians and, through them, the "The Nation" to the east. The colony continues to operate semi-independently of rest of California, in spite of California's claim to the territory.
Temple Treaty finally sets the boarder between California and Czarist America. Big hold up was over which side of the boarder Border-City would be on. Compromise splits it between the two, and it becomes one of the three Official Entry Points into Czarist America (another is as Drake's Bay, with a third to be decided later).
Silverstone has grown to 25,000 pop. due to the building of the Tujunga Locomotive Works and the Big Tujunga hydropower project. Pasqual to the south-east remains a sleepy town of ~3,000.
|Czarist America beefs up boarder to insure that any movement is controlled (and taxed) through those three entries. Needless to say, there's a lot of smuggling going on through the mountains.
|Town of Jade founded out by Salton Springs to mine salt and other chemicals. Wagon road to San Bernadino built. First 10 locos built by Tujunga Loco, California Class 0-4-4's, delivered to California Southern (which owns 50% of the company). 15 others are on order for S.G.V. Rwy and C.C. Rwy. Tesla gives radio demonstration at Universidad San Pablo. Sierra Foothill's Electromotive Division hires him (bribe of "all the electricity you can eat" - which will prove expensive in later years) and sets him up in a research facility built on a spur north of Goldfield. C.C. Rwy and the C.P. Rwy finish negotiations to build connecting link between San Luis Obisbo & Franklin. Set up third company, Coast Range Rwy, wholly owned by C.C. and C.P., to build it. Early on it's decided to electrify it a) as a test of such, and b) to insure that people have to change trains at Franklin and San Luis Obisbo. Building of electric lines accelerates. At beginning of 1893 there are ~ 110 kims of track, by the end there's over 400, with 500 more planned. Current electrified trackage is -
L.A. Area:
L.A. Pacific
Pacific Electric
San Gabriel Valley Electric (division of S.G.V. Rwy)
San Pablo & Bay Area:
Bay Area Electric Rwy - East Bay
Yerba Buena Rwy
Market Street Rwy
South Bay Interurban - San Jose & Peninsular region
San Pablo Electric Rwy
Salinas Valley Electric Rwy
Franklin & Verde Rwy
South Franklin Interurban
These make up 80% of mileage, other 20% in short lines.
|Japan reopens its boarders once again (due mostly to internal presure this time) and begins to try and modernize.
|The The Nation begins its press into the lightly held northern Mexican Territories [Nevada, Northern Arizona].
|Tujunga Loco starts an electromotive division.
Refugees from the "The Nation" expansion move through the Owen's area and then on to California proper. Some later move back to Mexico. Cortez booms as trade flows in & out of its port to support Mexico's increased military presence. Very heavy river traffic on the Colorado from both Mexico and California. The two, which have lacked official diplomatic ties since California's independence 70 years prior, actually forge a mutual nonaggression pact.
Part of this sets the boarder between the two as follows: Equidistant between the coast-lines of Mexico and Baja California north to the Colorado River delta, along the Colorado to 36o north, from there along 115o west to the Canadian boarder (though all territory north of 36o is currently in Indian hands...). Until this time, California's eastern boarder had more or less been the Sierra Nevada, then a diagonal from there to the Gulf (though loose claims - dating from Spanish times - put the boarder "officially" almost as far as the Great Salt Lake). This gives it considerable "new" territory (though, in practice, north of Owen's the border remains the Sierras), and surveyors are sent in to see what's there.
The Indian surge south has also cut the only trail to the east coast. Overland travelers must now go through southern Mexico, and take the "Acapulco Steamer" from Mexico's west coast to Cortez. Immigration from the East Coast slows to a trickle.
Coast Range Rwy completed - first run hailed as "Great Day in California History" - however delays caused by the train changes and heavy freight traffic north of Franklin on the C.P. will later cause much grumbling.
|The Mexican Empire strengthens it's northern boarders and troops are stationed alongside the Colorado river.
|Sierra Foothill Rwy begins extension southward towards L.A. Major discoveries of petroleum in Middle California. Oil and gas fired powerplants are built in California in those areas too far from good hydropower sites. Within 10 years, their output exceeds that of hydropower.
|Czarist America finally completes its railway from Border-City to its coastal port Roumainzoff. The different gauge (California standard is 1.6 meters, C. America is 1.78), and heavy duty customs inspections insure that the rail yards at Border-City are a nightmare in their Byzantine complexity.
|California experiences continued, if slow, growth. Population levels reach about 1.5 million for the country.
|Count Von Zeppelin begins demonstrations of his airships in Germany. The first passenger flight occurs in 1903.
|Dec 25, MM IX quake near Hemet, 6 killed.
|Sep 10, MM XI quake in Yakutat Bay, Alaska. Mostly unpopulated area.
|The Colorado floods the Salton Sink area. The new route is encouraged by settlers there (in spite of having to move the town of Jade to higher ground), and by 1909 the Widney Sea level stabilizes. The local climate ameliates somewhat, and agriculture begins to bloom in the area. Tourism also becomes a big money item at the resorts built on the Salton shores.
|Japan invades - and conquers - most of Korea and Manchuria.
|Apr 18, MM XI quake in Yerba Buena, followed by fire. 700 killed. Yerba Buena never really recovers, becoming a sleepy, backwater resort town.
|"Tunguska" comet impacts just south of St. Petersburg, destroying most of the city (primarily through the fires that rage on after impact). Most of the Czarist Royal Family is killed, as are much of their retainers (there being a birthday party for the Czar at the time). The people in the Russian Empire take this as a sign, and revolt. The Empire breaks into several sections, but the American possessions remain loyal to the new Czar (who was touring them at the time). He sets up court in the new city of Novaya Moskva, 150 kims north of Yerba Buena.
|Success of the Widney Sea makes California go a little "hydrophilic".
Literally hundreds of damming and lake creation projects are put
forth, and dozens actually come to fruition - with mixed results.
North of San Pedro, the L.A. river is shifted from it's Balloona Creek
outlet to into a slough to create Verde Lake. It requires the building
of several earthen dikes to get most of the lake to be deeper than
half a meter and even with those it never gets too deep. However, at
least the shoreline is fairly stable. Lake San Gabriel - formed by the
damming of the Rio Hondo [Whittier] Narrows - unfortunately has its
shoreline move as much as 1 1/2 kims between dry and wet years,
and constantly requires dredging. Its outflows - the San Gabriel/Rio
Hondo rivers - are eventually channeled around the Dominguez
Hills into Verde Lake. This stabilized Verde Lake even more - but it
was done primarily to reduce silting in the new San Pedro Bay Company harbor.
The Pacific Electric buys out almost all the smaller L.A. area lines, and merges with California Southern (which was in the process of electrifying). This creates the 2nd largest electric line in California. This worries the Silverstone & San Pedro, and they merge with the San Gabriel Valley Rwy, which they already had good relations with. Construction of an electric line to Jade and many of the other resort towns springing up on the shores of the Widney Sea begins. They also begin electrification of their San Pedro main line. The new company is renamed the Silverstone & Jade Electric Rwy.
|Breakup of Russia causes war to break out
in Eastern Europe over the pieces. The Russian-held sections of Poland declare themselves independent again. This lasts ten-months until Imperial German forces crush their meager defenses. Borders of Germany & Austria move eastward - at least for a while. Germany creates the first airwar by using dirigible bombers to take out strong points in Poland. This is an unusually successful tactic at first, primarily because they are alone in the air, and Russian forces have nothing resembling anti-aircraft guns. 3 years later, however, they run into the British forces who do have ack-ack, and 75% of the German bomber-airship fleet goes down in a single night.
In the east, Japan grabs a large section of Siberia and adds it to its Korean and Manchurian possessions.
|First flight of a dirigible in California, from Sacramento to San Pablo - where it promptly crashes. Verde Lake, stocked with fish and already a natural draw for waterfowl, has become a sportsman's paradise - and advertises itself as "The World's Finest." While a trifle of hyperbola, it does become a major tourist mecca. Even "The Nation's" ambassador winters there.
Tujunga Loco comes out with the Model 12 "Bettys" - the first electric locos to match the pulling power of the bigger steam locos. Sierra Foothill Radio (a division of S.F. Rwy) goes on the air, broadcasting from Goldfield and Southend. In the next 5 years over 200 stations crop up. Jun 22, MM VIII quake in Imperial Valley.
|First dogfight between planes occurs on the Georgian front between British and Imperial German forces.
Oct 2, MM-X quake in The Nation (Pleasant Valley, Nevada here).
|The Eurowar ends.
|"Crazy" Mark Freeman buys land in the foothills/ mountains west of the Widney Sea - cheap (it's considered wasteland - too far from the shore for resorts, too lumpy for farms). He begins planting hundreds of hectares in trees, with plans to convert all his land into a forest (he likes forest. He's also terribly rich, being a major stockholder in S.F. Rwy). A decade later, much to everyone's surprise, he's got about 5 kims2 of short, but growing forest land. Freeman Woods continue to expand and are joined by several other private forests.
|90% of California's population is within 3 kims of a railline (70% of which are now electrified). Silverstone (now a city of 70,000) boasts that 98% of its citizens are within 100 meters of a trolley route (of course, it helps that the city plan is very narrow). There are less than 1,000 cars in California, partially because they are very expensive, but also because there are only about 300 kims of paved roads in the country. Most of the "streets" in California are either grass-lined trolleyways, or dirt roads.
"Crazy" Mark Freeman takes time out from planting trees to create the first "Trolley Mall". Since almost all shipping and commuting goes by trolley in the big (and little) cities, he builds a very large shopping complex with direct links to the trolley lines next to it. Essentially, the whole mall is built over an underground railyard/station. Freeman Plaza is built in sleepy Pasqual, right where the L.A. and Eastern Division main lines of the Silverstone & Jade come together. It proves very popular and soon other "Trolley Malls" pop up all over California. Gradually, the idea spreads worldwide.
|Joint U.S.A. & The Nation railine from Great Lakes region through the The Nation to Vancouver, on Canada's west coast. As part of deal, U.S.A. formally renounces all claims to former "Louisiana Territory" lands west of the Missouri (they hadn't a chance of getting them anyway), and allows the The Nation to claim ownership (though not sovereignty) over certain "sacred lands" now in U.S.A. territory.
|Tesla, at his research facility in Goldfield (by now one of the world's finest R&D sites) manages to create at will the ball lightning he use to accidentally create in experiments decades before. Soon, he's refined the process to where he can create ball-lightning from 1-50 cm in diameter and sustain them virtually indefinitely. World scientists are fascinated - but it remains a "parlor trick" of no real use for years.
There's an air festival held in Sacramento - and California goes airplane happy. Soon, homemade biplanes are sprouting up everywhere.
Increasing conflicts between the various rail lines running between Los Angeles and the port at San Pedro result in the creation of the "Grand Union Railway Trackage Corporation" designed to build a simplified set of shared tracks between downtown Los Angeles and the port and providing a central scheduling point to handle all the trains traveling this route. The idea had actually been around for nearly ten years, but it took the end of the "gauge wars" in 1918 and the declaration of 1.6 meters as the Official California Standard Gauge (a gauge at the time shared with Mexico, Japan and much of Great Britain - it has since gone on to become a defacto "World Standard," covering almost 78% of the world's track kims) to kill one of the major sticking points in the plan.
The initial four tracks (now six, with brief sections of eight) were completed in 1924 and the use shift-over was finished by 1925 (though many miles of the original single-company tracks it replaced hung around for decades).
|Airship travel has become the "in" thing for Europe. Several flights a year now cross the Atlantic to the Americas.
|Explorer David Hernandez leads a multi-national (Californian, Canadian and British) expedition to the far north. Based at "Camp Lonely" in the Canadian backcountry, on June 1st he leaves with a team of twelve men aboard the dirigible "Northern Lights" with the announced mission of exploring the far northern regions. On June 3rd, following a long flight, the diri reaches the North Pole and Hernandez becomes the first person to set foot on this most northern of regions.
|Silverstone & Jade exceeds P.E.'s track mileage. Verde Sportsman's Club, seeing that Freeman Woods is actually working (almost the first people - apart from Freeman - to notice this), begins planting about 1/3 of the shoreline of Verde Lake in a mixture of Monterey Pine, Engleman Oak, and Eucalyptus (a bizarre mix, but the board's vote split). It's only about 100 m. deep, but it's California's second Private Forest.
An arrangement between Sierra Foothill Rwy, Silverstone & Jade Electric, and Mexico National Rwy creates the "Azteca Express" in imitation of Europe's "Orient Express". It runs from Veracruz on Mexico's east coast, to Mexico City, up to Cortez in California, then north to Jade, over to Silverstone, north again through the Central Valley to Goldfield, west to Sacramento, then finally north once more to end up at Border-City. It changes engines 7 times along the route, takes 3 days to complete it, and is a big success.
Jun 29, MM-IX quake in Santa Barbara, $6 million in damage, 17 killed.
|Plans to build an aqueduct from Owen's Valley to L.A. are violently opposed by Owen's residents. They fight the proposal in court for 2 years - and lose.
|Britain and France nearly go to war over a territorial dispute in the Sahara. Fighting actually breaks out in Africa. Ethiopia plays both against each other (again) and gains some territorial concessions on the Red Sea.
|Los Angeles, Monterey, and San Pablo become regular stops on Germany's airship line.
|Having lost in the courts, the Owen's Valley promptly secedes from California. Both rail lines (and their passes) into the area from California are closed and fortified. Rapid recognition by the The Nation (their major trading partners) - and a loan of troops from same - cools California's plans to raise an army and invade. The logistics problems of moving an army either through the Sierra Nevada or Death Valley would have made an invasion difficult anyway.
|Czarist American tries to recreate the success of the "Azteca Express" with a train from its half of Border-City, north to Vancouver in Canada - this works out less well and the (luxury version of the) train is discontinued after less than three years (it's revived in 1970 to more success - mostly because the line through C. America is now dual-gauge and you no longer have to completely change trains at the Canadian boarder. In 1978 it, and the Azteca Express combine and the new Azteca runs all the way from Vancouver to Veracruz).
|California - grudgingly - recognizes the Owen Incorperacy (a kind of combo co-op/corporation/state). This points out to California that, treaties with Mexico not-withstanding, it doesn't really own everything east to 115o (it should be noted that, wisely perhaps, they haven't actually tried to operate as if they did for decades - this just makes it more Official). The de-facto boarder at the Sierras is made de-jure in a treaty with the The Nation. In spite of bad feelings between California and the Incorperacy, relations between the two normalize quickly and in less than 5 years, except for the fancy boarder crossing on the Sierra Foothill line into Owen's, things have pretty much settled down to pre-secession normalities.
|The treaty with California allows The Nation to pull back forces which they need in the south - Texas has been pushing at the boarders again. After a big defeat of Texas' expeditionary force, Mexico has a good think and formalizes their boarder with the The Nation. Texas however will keep trying over the next 30 years to invade, and even after giving up actual invasion attempts, still will claim huge hunks of the The Nation.
|Tesla demonstrates a laser at Goldfield Labs. It's his last invention for Sierra Foothill, and he leaves in a huff two months later when Sierra's board complains he's wasting his time (and their electricity) on yet another "parlor trick" like his ball-lightning.
|After leaving Goldfield, Tesla ends up at Bell Labs, Toronto where Alexander G. Bell grasps a connection between Tesla's laser and his own "photophone" experiments. Bell Labs begins work on laser communications, but due to the lack of optic fibers and light amplifiers, its uses remain limited and highly specialized for many decades. The transistor, however - which they announce this year as well - is far more successful. Dec 20, MM-X quake in "Cedar Mountain, Nevada".
|Mar 10, MM-IX quake in "Long Beach". $40 million in damage, 120 killed.
|Japan invades China proper. Over the next 10 years, they will turn most of East and Southeast Asia into a series of client states, mostly through diplomatic threats, though there will be almost continual fighting in the area as well.
|Naoko Yukio, a new researcher at Goldfield Labs, begins experiments with Tesla's ball-lightning as a means of confining plasma in a fusion reaction. Much to everyone's surprise she begins to get good results. In a burst of wisdom, Sierra Foothill increases her budget 500%.
|Japan threatens - but does not actually attack - the British protectorate of the Philippines (it is too stretched at the time with its land battles in China).
|The first fusion reactor is demonstrated at Goldfield labs. The prototype barely reaches the break-even point, but the lab is confident they'll get the bugs out soon. "Soon" proves to be nearly 10 years.
|First electronic computer - tube/transistor mix - built in England.
|May 18, MM-X quake in Imperial Valley. $6 million in damage, 8 killed.
|Japan, strained and nearly bankrupt after 40 years of almost continual fighting in Asia, pulls back from much of its conquered territories in S.E. Asia and China, leaving behind a flock of newly independent states (but retaining most of Manchuria and its Siberian possessions). About half of these immediately join back up with Japan for its new "Greater Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere". About a third of the half that doesn't do this then promptly attacks its neighbors that did.
|First fusion reactor goes online in Sacramento. More follow rapidly. Due to inherent limitations in the confinement system, they're small (~30,000 kilowatts max), but prove to be relatively cheap & durable. They quickly begin to replace existing oil-fired plants - most of which are reaching the end of their useful life. Construction of gas-fired plants also slows and stops. They too begin to be replaced by fusion. Still, there are still some gas fired (and two oil-fired) plants right up into the 1980's. Hydropower plants, due to their high investment/low operating costs, remain virtually unaffected however.
|Apr 1, major quake off Aleutians, tsunami caused millions in damage in Hawai'i!
|Apr 13, MM-VIII quake in Puget Sound, $25 million in damage, 8 killed.
|Jul 20, MM-X in "Kern County". $60 million damage, 12 killed. Aug 22, MM-VIII causes another $10 million, and 2 killed.
|Japan (and most of its partners not currently being attacked) has recovered economically from its attempt to conquer Asia, and is now considered a World Power right up there with England, Germany, France and Mexico.
|Jul 9, MM-XI quake in Lituya Bay, Alaska.
|First crude IC chip brought out by Bell Labs. They quickly come into use, but continue to be created in small, specialized, batches.
Aug 17, MM-X quake in "Hebgen Lake, Montana". Huge landslide dammed river and created lake.
|California Analog Systems comes out with the first computer (analog!) using only IC's in it's CPU. It's designed especially for use in Goldfield Labs' "Sunflower" reactor - their attempt to break the 30,000 kw barrier. The attempt fails, but they continue research into the problem. A spinoff of this research is a fusion rocket engine - but as it has a runtime of less than two hours between overhauls, no one can figure out a use for it.
|Poland, in a bloody revolution, throws Germany out of Polish territory. Germany remains the major power in Eastern Europe however.
|Mar 27, MM X-XI quake in Prince William Sound, Alaska. Major landslides, tsunamis and uplift.
|Using a fusion rocket, Britain launches the first spacecraft into orbit from their launch site in Australia. Apr 29, MM VII-VIII quake in Puget Sound.
|Dr. Harrington at Oxford proposes that the recent downward trend in worldwide temperatures is the start of the next ice-age. This theory will be debated with great passion for years.
|Oct 1, 1969, VII-VIII quake in Santa Rosa. Feb 9, 1971, MM VIII-XI quake in San Fernando. Aug 1, 1975, MM IX quake in Oroville. Oct 15, 1979, MM IX quake in Imperial Valley. California's population passes the 7.5 million mark.
|Nov 29, 1975, MM VIII quake in Hawai'i. Tsunami.
|The beginning of "The Wet Decade". California rainfall levels hit record highs every year for the entire decade. Southern California has a record 45 inches in 1987. By the 90's records stop being made - but only because rainfalls have stabilized. California, indeed, the entire western North American coastline south of Canada, is now averaging between 5 and 10 inches higher than just a couple of decades before. The lower end of the Central Valley begins flooding, and many lakes that were "seasonal" are now managing to avoid the summer dry-ups.
Jan 24 & 26, 1980, MM VII quakes in "Livermore". May 25 & 27, 1980, MM VII quakes in "Mammoth Lakes" (Owen's Inc.). May 2, 1983, MM VIII quake in "Coalinga". Apr 24, 1984, MM VIII quake at "Morgan Hill". Oct 1, 1987, MM VIII quake at Rio Hondo [Whittier] Narrows. Oct 17, 1989, MM IX quake centered on Loma Prieta.
|World temperatures have continued to drop. They're now averaging about 0.8o C lower than the baseline of 1900. Several areas have experienced higher rainfalls, while others have experienced the opposite. Most measured glaciers have grown - some by as muchs as five kims. Dr. Harrington has suggested that CO2 be released in vast quantities to stabilize the temperatures, but his plan is discounted as "it would be impossible for man to release so much CO2 as to affect the climate."
Nov 8, 1980, MM VII off C. American coast, north of California.
|May 7, MM VII quake at Kadak Island, Alaska.
|Britain plants its flag on Mars. Both Germany and Japan protest this, and rattle sabers. Mexico pulls together, and hosts, a worldwide conference on "Who Owns What in Space." It bogs down, then collapses when first Britain, then Japan pull out.

How To Root Your Droid 2 or Droid 2 Global - Personal-tech/smart-phones - Smart Phones - BYTE which i downloaded the file right to my phone, opened it in astro, installed it, then clicked permanent root. It started rooting then it rebooted like it should. When the phone rebooted it was superrrrrrrrrrr slow. So i turn it off then on again. This time it was not slow but not rooted i went back to z4root and it was back at the root screen, temporary and permanet. I cliked on permanet and nothing happens. It starts to "downlaod" or whatever you wanna call it and all of a sudden just stops. Just exits and goes back to home screen. Deleted it and went to try this one(this sites DIY) http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-2-hacks/109287-how-root-droid-2-depth-tutorial.html I downloaded the file onto my pc, put it on my sd card, opened astro, and found the file. The diy says but when i find the file in astro it just says the normal rename, delete, move etc... Im confused because i did everything the DIY said. The first method i tried came the closets. It actually rooted and rebooted but then i turned the phone off from it running slow and it was not rooted. Ever since that time when i do the steps over z4root will start to root and will just close and go back to the home screen? :blink:

MOSCOW, June 26 (Itar-Tass) - Russia hopes to strengthen a political dialogue with Qatar in order to ensure the lasting peace, stability and security in the Persian Gulf and in the Middle East as a whole, the Foreign Ministry reported on Wednesday.
On Tuesday, June 25, Qatari Emir Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani said he stepped down from office and handed over power to his son, Tamim, who was earlier Qatar's crown prince.
"Moscow confirms the commitment to improving cooperation between our states. Our cooperation has a considerable potential in different areas," the ministry said.


text: Active and young sighthounds are often a little ribby. I know a man with a tremendously fit working sighthound that looked like a bag of bones, it turned out that he was feeding her too many of the animals she caught and that was just too much protein for her system. It is hard to get the right balance because when sighthounds are in the right weight range they gain and lose very easily. I do think it is worth trying for the optimum weight because an overweight dog loses a lot of the joy of living but an underweight dog is susceptible to illnesses and has less energy resources to deal with problems.

SERMON: Bad for Business (Acts 19:23-41)
SERMON: Empty Philosophy (Acts 17:16-34)
Loyalty versus Selfishness
I was struck by a conversation I had the other night with my two daughters. I'll try to write it in narrative form rather than the usual movie script form we use on the Interwebs.
I had just gotten home from work and was exhausted due to a stressful situation that had arisen in the past week. As soon as I walked in, my wife announces, "Dad, Ella wants to go to the mall. She wants to go to the Lego Store and Disney Store. Do you want to go? If not, just stay home and rest . . . and do the dishes and the laundry." Her idea of rest and my idea of rest were a little different.
I looked to my other two daughters to see if they were going to join their mother and their sister. Emma was on the fence, but she had to put in an order to her personal delivery person, "Dad, can you go to the library and get me the first Spiderwick Chronicles book?" They had watched parts of the movie over the weekend.
As the youngest, Anna was whatevers. Actually, I was surprised she wasn't more excited about tagging along to the Disney Store, one of her most favorite places in the world (after Disneyland).
She looked concerned, though. She turned to me and said in a cute little baby voice, "Daddy, you're going to be home all alone?" Continue reading "Loyalty versus Selfishness"

I read a newspaper report recently about a writer who has achieved some success with a novel, and the report contained this line:
"literary success has come late - he's 42"
Ouch. I turned fifty this year (thank you, thank you), and lines like that inevitably make me worry I've missed my chance to be a real, full-time, professional writer already.
OK, so I've achieved a fair bit of what I set out to do. Over a hundred short stories published, including some by pro magazines. A novel published by a publisher as well as a couple of others indie-published. And I've written some things that I've been really, really happy with.
But wider success remains elusive, as I suppose it does for many writers. Not skilled enough? Not lucky enough? Not persistent enough? I don't know.
I tend to vacillate between two attitudes to the age thing. In optimistic moments I don't see it as a problem at all. I still get ideas for novels like every day. I have years - decades - of writing ahead of me if I wish to take them. And as I get older I find I have more and more time for writing, which is lovely. But in darker moments I worry my chance has come and gone. Maybe I won't ever get that agent and that major publishing deal. Maybe I won't ever see my books lined up on display stands in book shops.
I don't know. I'm not done yet, not by a long chalk. In many ways I feel like I've barely started. And I enjoy writing too much to stop. Each story and book sale I make is one more glorious kick in the teeth for an indifferent universe. Plus I have, like, two trilogies to finish. Still, does there come a point when you say, OK, I gave it my best shot, but now it's time to move on?

Home ownership comes with a lot of different expenses, some of which are completely unexpected, so I've always tried to make smart money-saving tips when it comes to home maintenance and home improvement. Today, I am sharing some of my favorite tips for homeowners who want to keep their budget in check but still upgrade their space. From using foam to insulate hot water pipes to installing Warmboard to heat the house, there are so many ways that homeowners can save money!
Smart Money-Saving Tips for Homeowners
1. Don't let the heat escape! Wrap the hot water heater and hot water pipes with insulation to keep the heat contained.
2. Rather than buying mulch, use your grass clippings as mulch in the vegetable garden. This will keep the weeds in check and also help to retain soil moisture.
3. Use a rain barrel to collect rain water. When it's time to water your flowers, you can use the water you collected and reduce your water usage!
4. Invest in perennials. An attractive curb appeal is important, but spending money on annuals that have to be replanted each year will cost more in the long run than investing in perennials that will automatically come back every year.
5. Seal small gaps around electrical outlets. You can buy foam gaskets from the home improvement store. They are very simple to install- simply affix the gasket over the box and replace the electrical plate.
6. Use a surge strip for electronics that are not in use continuously. When those appliances are not in use, turn the power off to immediately stop any power drain from these appliances.
7. Install a programmable thermostat. By selecting a set temperature for different times (during day time, during night time, during vacations, etc.), you will keep your heating/cooling bill at a reasonable level.
8. Let your clothes air dry. To reduce your electricity usage when doing laundry, skip the dryer occasionally and hang your clothes to dry on a drying rack.
9. If there are gaps underneath your doors, purchase weatherproofing products to seal those gaps and reduce heat loss.
10. Install Warmboard, which is an economical and effective method of radiant heating that has won various "Green Product of the Year" awards! Loved by builders and homeowners across the nation, Warmboard enables you to enjoy a warm home while substantially reducing your energy bills! As opposed to other radiant systems, Warmboards are capable of heating your home in mere minutes! How amazing is that?!
Invented in 1992 by Terry Alsberg, Warmboard has become one of the most popular radiant heating systems on the market today. Terry Alsberg created these efficient heating systems because he was dissatisfied with other existing radiant options and his kids were suffering from asthma. Applying his background in engineering physics to make his idea come to life, Mr. Alsberg worked out of his garage to develop the product.
Popular among homeowners and builders, Warmboard provides exceptional performance and significant energy savings. Here's an interesting fact: there are over 27.5 million square feet of Warmboard installed throughout the world, from the Arctic to the Antarctic!
The way radiant heating works is actually really fascinating! Hot water is passed through tubes beneath the floor. The thick aluminum distributes heat across the surface of the floor. And thanks to the quick heat distribution, the system can operate at lower water temperatures, saving even more money! And there are many flooring options that are compatible with Warmboard. Whether you're looking for Warmboard flooring or wall panels, there's a product that will suit your needs!
Warmboard is well-received by so many in the home industry. Architects appreciate its eco-friendly benefits and elegant design. Builders appreciate its easy installation. Homeowners appreciate its level of comfort and energy savings. For more information on the Warmboard and how it can help heat your home, see this video below:
The Cousins, John and Anthony, of HGTV talk Warmboard from Warmboard, Inc. on Vimeo.
Two of some of their more popular projects include their work with the Work Program Architects and their work with Gerber-Berend Designs.
- In the case of Work Program Architects, Warmboard was used on an older commercial building. The wide open space of the building made heating the space a bit challenging, but Warmboard was effective at providing enough heat for the occupants. Even though a forced-air heating system was also installed as a back-up, it has never been needed! Warmboard, along with a large heavy-duty fan to destratify the air, has provided sufficient heat even during the cold Winters! Isn't that amazing?!
- In the case of Gerber-Berend Designs, Warmboard was involved in heating a net zero home, which is a home that creates the same amount of energy that it consumes in a year. In this home, Warmboard was installed as wall panels to meet the high heating requirements of the space. And thanks to the versatility of Warmboard, it was possible to install drywall right over the Warmboard wall panels.
Hearing about all the wonderful benefits of Warmboard has made me think about incorporating it into my own home! My home office tends to be the coldest room in our house and our forced-air heating system just doesn't seem to provide enough heat for the space. Plus, it's really expensive to run the whole-house heating system when I am working in the office. So I am totally going to look into installing Warmboard for our office! I love how easy it is to install, the wide variety of flooring options compatible with it, and the cost savings associated with it!
If you'd like to learn more about how Warmboard can help you enjoy a more comfortable home in a very affordable way, readers of Engineer Mommy can get a free consultation with Warmboard! Just call 1-877-338-5493 for a free consultation when you mention this blog post!
Keep updated on the latest offers and news from Warmboard by following them on Twitter and Facebook. And if you'd like to see their Gallery of Warmboard products in action, you have to see all the gorgeous photos on their website Gallery.
Now, learn more about how Warmboard can help heat your home and tell me: which room(s) in your home can benefit from Warmboard's efficient heating method?!

I would love to have radiant heating in my bathrooms. Warm floors during the winter would be so nice. These are all such great ways to save money on heating bills.
I love the idea of the warmboard for some of our rooms. While the ground floor is old hardwood, the bedrooms are able to accommodate the installation process and the kids would love the added warmth during our cold winter months.
These are great tips. We follow all of these tips in our house. We have a 100 year old house so we have lots of drafty areas!
These are great tips for homeowners and I hope to be one in the next 2 years. I am still deciding if I want the do it yourself one or all done one.
I've heard great things about radiant heating, and I'd love to consider Warmboard for our next home. I would LOVE to have warm and toasty floors first thing in the morning 🙂
Warmboards sound like something we need in our home. We live in the country so electric bills are always high. Anything that can reduce costs is awesome!
Great tips. I have never heard of warm board but it sounds like something I need in my life.
The use of rain barrels here in California is HUGE! So many of us were able to water our plants during the drought from simply catching the water when it fell.
These are great money-saving tips. I should really stick to my budget and see how I can maximize every cent.
Collecting rain water can really reduce your water consumption. We often do this at home too. It also saves a lot by turning off electronic appliances or properly planning their usage.
These are great money saving tips for the homeowners. It is an awesome idea to use a rain barrel to collect rain for watering the plants. Hanging the laundry is a great way to save electric usage. Thanks for sharing the tips.
We put a programmable thermostat in shortly after we bought our home and what a difference it made! I was totally shocked!
I wanted warm boards when we built this home and somehow it fell off our design plan. I am kicking myself for dropping the ball on this. Great tips, I need to revisit the idea of installing them especially in our master half of the house, it is insanely chillier on that end.
I spent a ton of money on perennials in my last house. I'm totally bummed this house doesn't have any. I need to fix that!
These are definitely some Smart Money-Saving Tips for Homeowners! I love the idea of having a rain barrel to collect rain water! How genius <3
We do a few of these. The best one by far for us was the programmable wifi thermostat. It has saved us a lot of money.
These are all great tips! I have seen the rain barrels (they make some pretty ones at Lowe's) but never thought to buy them for our house!
These are great tips! We're already practicing some of these and I'm just glad I've learned a new thing on saving. Thank you for this!

I've been trying for the past six months to sell my mom's house, which sits in a pretty nice neighborhood in suburban Pennsylvania. Two things I've learned from the process: Prices are still falling dramatically, and as they do, they create a domino effect that brings down the value of all the residential properties in the process.
So when someone tells me a housing recovery isn't too far away, my first instinct is to laugh ... then, eventually, listen to what they have to say.
A recovery here to stay
Recently, the CEO of Toll Brothers
Singing a similar tune a few days ago was Freddie Mac's chief economist, Frank Nothaft. He thinks that 2011 will be a big year for housing, and that the combination of low interest rates and a bottom for house prices will support a recovery in both construction and mortgage markets. Because the Fed is expected to keep the fed funds rate between 0% and 0.25% for the next year or so, this could be a great sign for REITs such as Annaly Capital
Nothaft thinks that when the economy stabilizes next year (if it stabilizes, that is), "many first-time buyers will be attracted to the housing market in the new year, likely translating into more home sales in 2011 than in 2010."
So what's the best way to play?
It's hard to take some of the optimists at their word; we'd all love to believe that a recovery is just around the corner, but some of the data certainly doesn't seem too great. In October, new home construction fell to an 18-month low. Housing starts fell 11.7% in the same month, down from 588,000 to 519,000; according to a census by Briefing.com, analysts were estimating about 600,000 new starts. Karl Case, co-creator of the S&P/Case-Shiller index of property values, recently said it would be "another couple of years before you really can declare victory."
That said, if you're a believer that things might get better in the next year or so, now could be the time to jump on some of the big domestic residential builders. So far this year, The Ryland Group
