Just don't call it a subprime loan
With home prices rising, interest rates falling and builders building, some prominent housing advocates are calling for a new kind of loan for buyers with lower incomes or bad credit.
They'd like to call it the Dignity Mortgage, but it has another name - one that's become more of an epithet since the housing crash: subprime.
Applicants might include people caught in the early stages of the mortgage meltdown who have since rebuilt their finances, said Faith Bautista, who heads the National Asian American Coalition.
"They lost their work, their homes and their credit scores four or five years ago," Bautista said.
Since then, she said, many have found new jobs and saved up enough for a 10 percent down payment. But they can't get a loan because lending standards remain tight, even for the Federal Housing Administration mortgages designed to help lower-income borrowers, Bautista said.
The proposal starts with the classic subprime trade-off: a higher rate for a higher-risk clientele. Borrowers would pay 1.25 percentage points above the going interest rate, maybe 4.75 percent if more creditworthy borrowers were paying 3.5 percent.
But the deal would get better if borrowers made timely payments for five years. At that point, the extra money they had paid in interest would be used to reduce the mortgage balance, and their rate would be cut to whatever borrowers with sterling credit and 20 percent down payments were charged at the time the loan was made.
Pattie Sibug of San Diego is among those who got caught short by the housing crash. By early 2010, the property improvement company she and her husband had owned for a dozen years had already seen its business fall off. Then a stream of work repairing foreclosed homes for a big bank dried up. BID Construction wound up owing suppliers about $60,000 it could never fully repay, which ultimately ruined the couple's personal and business credit scores. "It was 585 the last time I checked," Sibug said of her score.
Sibug and her husband, Ollie, would like to buy the town house they are renting for $1,750 a month, and could come up with a 10 percent down payment. But they had to decline the owner's recent offer to sell because they knew they couldn't get financing.
"There's got to be some kind of program to help you re-establish yourself," Sibug said. "I'd be the first person in line if there was."
Situations like hers are why Bautista and other activists have been talking to bankers and regulators, proposing the new type of loan. Those activists include Bob Gnaizda, a longtime minority rights attorney who co-founded the Greenlining Institute in Berkeley, Calif., and financial literacy activist John Bryant, whose Operation Hope - founded in South Los Angeles after the 1992 riots - now operates nationally and in South Africa and Haiti.
The proposal comes as home lenders remain besieged by demands that they pay billions of dollars in damages for defaulted housing-boom loans. Regulators have required banks to increase reserves against losses.
And the lenders also are evaluating new mortgage rules from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, which they say will determine how freely they can lend.
In reaction, many banks have imposed higher standards for writing new home loans than those required by the FHA or by Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, the finance outfits that have kept the mortgage market afloat since the financial crisis - thanks to $137 billion in taxpayer assistance.
Edward J. Pinto, a former Fannie Mae chief credit officer who argues that lax FHA lending helped feed the foreclosure crisis in low-income neighborhoods, said the Dignity Mortgage proposal "is a stupid and crazy idea - a poison pill."
"Haven't we learned anything from the cratering of our housing finance market?" said Pinto, a resident fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, a free-market think tank.
Bank officials continue their soul-searching over the mortgage misdeeds of the past and the prospects of the business.
"By being overly aggressive, the entire housing system caused a great deal of damage to the very people we were trying to help attain homeownership," said Brian T. Moynihan, chief executive of Bank of America Corp.
That lesson has been especially painful for Bank of America, which has recorded more than $40 billion in mortgage-related losses since acquiring risky mortgage specialist Countrywide Financial Corp. of Calabasas, Calif., once the nation's largest home lender, in 2008.
"There are very real concerns that a too-high standard can lock some people out of homeownership - something we don't want," Moynihan said in a speech to a Brookings Institution housing forum last month.
"How do we make credit available but protect people from taking on too much risk and ending up in a home they can't afford? And how do we strike the right balance between prudent underwriting, responsible down payments and access to homeownership?" Moynihan asked.

You know how these days everyone is all "Bacon, bacon, bacon," and everyone on Facebook posts pictures of bacon and can't stop talking about bacon? Well, my dear brother is one of those people. But, to be fair, he has been a true fan of bacon since long before it was the cool thing to do.
On the special occasions when my mom would make us fancy breakfast - like waffles or crepes - sometimes she would also make bacon. My brother, as I've said, loved bacon. In truth, I have always loved the smell of bacon, but I've never really been that into eating it. Still, my rivalry with my brother ran deep, and I wasn't about to let him enjoy the simple pleasures in life. Oh no! So, I would always make sure that I got exactly as much bacon as my brother got, just so he couldn't have it all. Well, I guess the joke's on me, because I'm certainly not hoarding all the bacon any more.
Anyhow, when I think of him, bacon is definitely one of the first foods I think of. So, the other night I decided to have an official Homemade Vegan Bacon-Off. I made 3 different varieties of homemade vegan bacon, and got to work figuring out which was my favorite: Shiitake Mushroom Bacon (recipe below), Tempeh Bacon (recipe from Vegan Brunch), and Coconut Bacon (recipe from Cupcakes & Kale).

A McDonough County Board committee is discussing whether to formally extend the minimum period of time that dogs and cats could stay in the animal shelter.
State law requires an animal to be kept for a minimum of seven days, and a current county ordinance allows a 21-day minimum.
The board's human resources and planning committee has been asked to consider a 90-day minimum. George Dixon, committee chairman, said he feels a 90 day stay would depend upon the behavior of the animal.
"Some might be turned over for rescue after 60 days," he said.
County Board Chairman Scott Schwerer said he does not want to see an aggressive animal retained beyond the seven day state limit.
"We spend a lot more time talking about dogs and cats than we do children in this county," he said. "I do not want to see a vicious animal adopted out."
Committee member Trevor Toland suggested that a checklist be filled out for every animal brought into the shelter.
It would be an overall assessment, including issues of behavior.
"Once I'm not able to adopt an animal out, I ask the humane society about the possibility of rescue," said Animal Control Officer Vicky VanTrump.
Animals that cannot be placed are subject to euthanasia.
"It's a really sensitive issue to put an animal to sleep," said Dr. Karen Blakeley, the county veterinarian.
Committee members Dave Nissen and Lee Trotter said they agree with Schwerer that the county should not tolerate the presence of a vicious animal.
"The county's main responsibility is public safety," Trotter said.
Dixon said he wants the committee to make a recommendation in April regarding the retention of animals.
"We need to have some closure," he said.
VanTrump reported that the animal shelter continues to experience a good level of adoptions. She said only 14 dogs and 14 cats remained in the shelter at the end of February.
The animal control officer said she continues to compile information for the committee for adoption of a policy governing the use of tranquilizer guns to subdue certain animals being brought in. The committee was told that the animal shelter passed its annual inspection.
The county is looking at an April 1 target date for releasing its new state-mandated policy of making funds available to help low-income county residents with the costs of preparing a pet for ownership. The information would be made available through local veterinarians.
Dawn Gray, president of the Humane Society of McDonough County, told the committee that her group would like to establish a pet food pantry to assist individuals or families that have difficulty paying for food for their animals. She said the society continues to contribute toward the cost of spaying animals.
"We want to partner with the county more than we ever have in the past," Gray said.

The Delaware State Fair announced today that country music superstar Dierks Bentley will perform at the M&T Bank Grandstand at the fairgrounds in Harrington on Wednesday, July 24, at 7:30 pm.
The Delaware State Fair announced today that country music superstar Dierks Bentley will perform at the M&T Bank Grandstand at the fairgrounds in Harrington on Wednesday, July 24, at 7:30 pm.
Opening act will be Will Hoge.
Tickets will go on sale Friday, Feb. 15 at 10 a.m. and can be purchased by visiting www.delawarestatefair.com.
"We are real excited to have Dierks Bentley come back to the Delaware State Fair for another great show," said Danny Aguilar, Delaware State Fair director of marketing and assistant general manager. "Our Facebook fans constantly asked for a return show and now we can make that possible. Dierks was last here when he opened up for Brad Paisley along with Eric Church."
Some of Bentley's best-known songs include "Sideways," "Come a Little Closer," "Free and Easy (Down the Road I Go)" and "What Was I Thinking."
Bentley has embraced musical diversity in his recording career as well, as his current album Home demonstrates. The project plunges him back into the country mainstream after a successful sojourn in bluegrass and roots music with the acclaimed and Grammy-nominated Up On The Ridge album. Moreover, working with some of Nashville's most innovative studio musicians, Home finds Dierks singing over some new sonic textures and, for the first time, interpreting a few songs that he didn't write himself.
Home's title track and second No. 1 song gives the mostly light-hearted album a vital, spiritual anchor. The song expresses pride and patriotism without sentimentality or illusions. It unflinchingly speaks of America's "scars" and her tensions while illuminating those as sources of strength. The writing session took place just four days after the shooting in Tucson, Ariz. (Dierks's home state), which took six lives and injured Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords. That tragedy did not inspire the song by any means, but it did cast a shadow and influence Dierks and his co-writers, once some opening lines popped out that seemed to speak to the vitality of being an American in these challenging times.
"It's really hard to write a patriotic song," said Bentley. "But you want to. It's something I think about all the time. I love the history of country music and I love the history of our country."
The song impressed critics and earned a call from National Public Radio. Bentley was able to tell that audience that the aim was "to be inspiring and hopeful, but also address the realities of what's going on." Elsewhere on radio, country stations embraced the risky single, despite its departures from any flag-waving formula.

East side): At the end of Boyes Drive is a cul-de-sac (Godfrey Rd.). Park here and follow the hiking trail up toward the saddle. Some way before the saddle look for a path sneaking off left up a short hill towars a large boulder. From the boulder follow the path up the final slope to arrive just east of Neptunes cove.
West side): One can park in Mountain Rd., Clovelly, In which case cross the saddle before joining the trail to the crag. From the Clovelly side if you are wanting to climb the Mermaid area, it is easier to turn right onto an obvious well-trodden path 10metres before the saddle. Follow this between two boulders, past a cave, then just above a mini-gulley take a not so obvious turnoff left towards what looks like two boulders, aiming between them. The left "boulder" turns out to be the Mermaid wall.

Flash Player
Template:Wikipedia GNU Gnash is a free (libre) alternative to Adobe Flash Player. It is available both as a standalone player for desktop computers and embedded devices, as well as a browser plugin, and supports the SWF format up to version 7 (with versions 8 and 9 under development) and about 80% of ActionScript 2.0.
GNU Gnash can be installed with the package gnash-gtk, available in the official repositories.
Lightspark is another attempt to provide a free alternative to Adobe Flash aimed at supporting newer Flash formats. Although it is still very much in development, it supports some popular sites.
Lightspark can be installed with the package lightsparkAUR or lightspark-gitAUR, available in the AUR.
Adobe Flash Player
Install flashplugin from the official repositories.
- Adobe Flash Player for Linux using the NPAPI was discontinued by Adobe, although security updates for version 11.2 will be provided for another 5 years by Adobe (i.e. 2017). Adobe will, however, release new versions of PPAPI version of the plugin, shipped with Google Chrome. See Chromium#Adobe (Pepper plugin API) for more information.
- Some versions of Epiphany have trouble recognizing the Flash plugin. See Epiphany for more details.
- The Adobe Flash Player may also require ttf-ms-fontsAUR from the AUR in order to properly render text.
- For hardware acceleration on Intel/AMD, you can use libvdpau-va-glAUR — VAAPI backend for VDPAU. For AMD you should also install xvba-videoAUR
To change the preferences (privacy settings, resource usage, etc.) of Flash Player, right click on any embedded Flash content and choose Settings from the menu, or go to the Macromedia website. There, a Flash animation will give you access to your local settings.
You can also use the Flash settings file
/etc/adobe/mms.cfg. An example configuration:
# Adobe player settings AVHardwareDisable = 0 FullScreenDisable = 0 LocalFileReadDisable = 1 FileDownloadDisable = 1 FileUploadDisable = 1 LocalStorageLimit = 1 ThirdPartyStorage = 1 AssetCacheSize = 10 AutoUpdateDisable = 1 LegacyDomainMatching = 0 LocalFileLegacyAction = 0 AllowUserLocalTrust = 0 # DisableSockets = 1 OverrideGPUValidation = 1
You can also refer to the mms.cfg from Gentoo, which is extensively commented.
Disable the "Press ESC to exit full screen mode" message
For a way to disable this message see this ubuntuforums.org post.
# cp /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so.backup
Make a copy of it in your home directory:
# cp /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so ~/
Install wine from the official repositories.
Flash Fullscreen Patcher.zip from this page, extract and execute with
$ wget http://forum.videohelp.com/attachments/16250-1360745667/Flash%20Fullscreen%20Patcher.zip $ unzip Flash\ Fullscreen\ Patcher\ 2.0.zip $ wine Flash\ Fullscreen\ Patcher\ 2.0.exe
libflashplayer.so (the one from your home directory) using the GUI.
Copy the patched Flash Player back to the plugins directory:
# cp ~/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/
Fullscreen fix for Flash and Firefox in GNOME 3
Install devilspie from the official repositories.
Create the
~/.devilspie directory and the relevant config:
# mkdir ~/.devilspie # touch ~/.devilspie/flash-fullscreen-firefox.ds
Then populate that file with this:
(if (is (application_name) "plugin-container") (begin (focus) ) )
Finally, add devilspie to your list of startup items (usually in gnome-session-properties).
For this to work in Chrome / Chromium,
"plugin-container" needs to be replaced by
"exe" in the script above.
PDF viewer
PDF.js is a PDF renderer created by Mozilla and built using HTML5 technologies. It is currently only available as a Firefox plugin.
External PDF viewers
To use an external PDF viewer you need #MozPlugger or #kpartsplugin.
If you want to use MozPlugger with Evince, for example, you have to find the lines containing
/etc/mozpluggerrc file and modify the corresponding line after
GV() as below:
repeat noisy swallow(evince) fill: evince "$file"
evince with something else if it is not your viewer of choice).
If this isn't enough, you may need to change 2 values in
- Change
pdfjs.disabled's value to true;
- Change
plugin.disable_full_page_plugin_for_types's value to an empty value.
Restart and it should work like a charm!
Adobe Reader
Due to licensing restrictions, Adobe Reader cannot be distributed from any of the official Arch Linux repositories. There are versions available in the AUR. Please note that no matter how many votes it receives, Adobe Reader will never be included in the official repositories. See this comment for an explanation.
Also, there are localizations available in many languages.
Adobe Acrobat Reader is only available as a 32-bit binary. It can be installed with the acroreadAUR package, available in the AUR.
This package installs the Acrobat Reader application as well as the Firefox plugin. Note that hardware-assisted rendering is unavailable under Linux (at least using a Geforce 8600GTS with driver version 185.18.14).
There is yet to be an official 64-bit version of Adobe Reader.
To use it in a 64-bit environment, you can:
- Follow this guide originally posted in the forums. It involves creating a chrooted environment that could be reused for other 32-bit only applications.
- Install acroreadAUR (with all its 32-bit dependencies) from AUR. Be advised that the Firefox plugin cannot be used directly with this binary -- it will not load in the 64-bit browser. To load it install the nspluginwrapper package from the official [multilib] repository and run:
$ nspluginwrapper -v -a -i
as a normal user. This checks the plugin directory and links the plugins as needed.
Java (IcedTea)
To enable Java support in your browser, you have two options: the open-source OpenJDK (recommended) or Oracle's proprietary version. For details about why OpenJDK is recommended see this.
To use OpenJDK, you have to install the IcedTea browser plugin:
- icedtea-web-java7 for version 7 of the Java environment.
If you want to use Oracle's JRE, install the jreAUR (or jre6AUR) package, available in the AUR.
See Java#OpenJDK JVM for additional details and references.
Video plugins
- Gecko Media Player — Mozilla browser plugin to handle media on websites, using MPlayer.
- Rosa Media Player Plugin — Qt-based browser plugin also based on MPlayer.
- VLC Plugin — NPAPI-based plugin that uses VLC technologies.
MozPlugger can be installed with the mozpluggerAUR package, respectively mozplugger-chromiumAUR, available in the AUR.
MozPlugger is a Mozilla plugin which can show many types of multimedia inside your browser. To accomplish this, it uses external programs such as MPlayer, xine, Evince, OpenOffice, TiMidity, etc. To modify or add applications to be used by MozPlugger just modify the
/etc/mozpluggerrc file.
For example, MozPlugger uses OpenOffice by default to open
doc files. To change it to use LibreOffice instead, look for the OpenOffice section:
... ### OpenOffice define([OO],[swallow(VCLSalFrame) fill: ooffice2.0 -nologo -norestore -view $1 "$file" swallow(VCLSalFrame) fill: ooffice -nologo -norestore -view $1 "$file" swallow(VCLSalFrame) fill: soffice -nologo $1 "$file"]) ...
and add LibreOffice at the beginning of the list:
... ### LibreOffice/OpenOffice define([OO],[swallow(VCLSalFrame) fill: libreoffice --nologo --norestore --view $1 "$file" swallow(VCLSalFrame) fill: ooffice2.0 -nologo -norestore -view $1 "$file" swallow(VCLSalFrame) fill: ooffice -nologo -norestore -view $1 "$file" swallow(VCLSalFrame) fill: soffice -nologo $1 "$file"]) ...
doc files.
As another simple example, if you want to open
cpp files with your favorite text editor (we will use Kate) to get syntax highlighting, just add a new section to your
mozpluggerrc file:
text/x-c++:cpp:C++ Source File text/x-c++:hpp:C++ Header File repeat noisy swallow(kate) fill: kate -b "$file"
For a more complete list of MozPlugger options see this page.
The KParts plugin is a plugin that uses KDE's KPart technology to embed different file viewers in the browser, such as Okular (for PDF), Ark (for different archives), Calligra Words (for ODF), etc. It cannot use applications that are not based on the KPart technology.
The KParts plugin can be installed with the package kpartsplugin, available in the official repositories.
Flash Player: no sound
Flash Player outputs its sound only through the default ALSA device, which is number 0. If you have multiple sound devices (a very common example is having a sound card and HDMI output in the video card), then your preferred device may have a different number.
For a list of available devices with their respective numbers, run:
$ aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** card 0: Generic [HD-Audio Generic], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 1: DX [Xonar DX], device 0: Multichannel [Multichannel] Subdevices: 0/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 1: DX [Xonar DX], device 1: Digital [Digital] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
In this case, the HDMI output is
card 0 and the sound card is
card 1. To make your sound card the default for ALSA, create the file
.asoundrc in your home directory, with the following content:
pcm.!default { type hw card 1 } ctl.!default { type hw card 1 }
Flash Player: blocking sound for other applications or delayed playback
If sound is delayed within Flash videos or Flash stops sound from any other application, then make sure you do not have
snd_pcm_oss module loaded:
$ lsmod | grep snd_pcm_oss
You can unload it:
# rmmod snd_pcm_oss
and restart the browser to see if it helps.
Flash Player: bad (choppy) sound on the 64-bit version
There is a problem with Flash plugin 11 on 64-bit systems and a new
memcpy routine in glibc (for more details see this Fefora bug report), which makes the sound choppy on MP3 streams. Current workarounds are:
- replacing the
memcpyroutine as suggested in this thread.
- installing flashplugin-squareAUR from the AUR (this is a version of the Flash plugin with working hardware acceleration).
Flash Player: performance
Adobe's Flash plugin has some serious performance issues, especially when CPU frequency scaling is used. There seems to be a policy not to use the whole CPU workload, so the frequency scaling governor does not clock the CPU any higher. To work around this issue, see Cpufrequtils
Flash Player: low webcam resolution
If your webcam has low resolution in Flash (the image looks very pixelated) you can try starting your browser with this:
$ LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so [broswer]
Flash Player: black bars in full screen playback on multi-headed setups
The Flash plugin has a known bug where the full screen mode does not really work when you have a multi-monitor setup. Apparently, it incorrectly determines the full screen resolution, so the full screen Flash Player fills the correct monitor but gets scaled as if the monitor had the resolution of the total display area.
To fix this, you can use the "hack" described here. Simply download the source from the link given on the page, and follow the instructions in the README.
Flash Player: blue tint on videos with NVIDIA
An issue with flashplugin versions 220.127.116.11-1 and 188.8.131.52-1 causes it to send the U/V panes in the incorrect order resulting in a blue tint on certain videos. Version 0.5 of libvdpau includes a workaround to fix this, see the official announcement.
Flash Player: leaking overlay with NVIDIA
This bug is due to the incorrect color key being used by the flashplugin version 22.214.171.124-1 (see this post on the NVIDIA forums) and causes the Flash content to "leak" into other pages or solid black backgrounds. To avoid this issue simply export
VDPAU_NVIDIA_NO_OVERLAY=1 within either your shell profile (e.g.
~/.bash_profile or
~/.zprofile) or
Flash Player: videos not working on older systems
If you have Adobe Flash installed on an older system and you start playing a video which simply turns black with nothing happening, it is most likely that your CPU does not support SSE2. You can simply check this by looking at your CPU flags with this command:
$ grep sse2 /proc/cpuinfo
If no results are returned, then you need to install an older version of Flash (for example 10.3, or 11.1). Older versions possibly will have vulnerabilities. You should then consider sandboxing Firefox using sandfoxAUR, available in the AUR. See the sandfox homepage for usage information.
Older versions of Flash are available here:
You need to copy
libflashplayer.so to the folder
Older flashplugin packages can be downloaded from the AUR e.g. flashplugin-nosse2AUR. Alternatively you can install flashplugin-sse2-nosse2AUR which can be used on CPUs with and without SSE2.
The most recent package without SSE2 is
flashplugin-18.104.22.168-1-i686.pkg.tar.xz. If you use the packaged version, you have to add
IgnorePkg = flashplugin to
Plugins are installed but not working
A common problem is that the plugin path is unset. This typically occurs on a new install, when the user has not re-logged in before running Firefox after the installation. Test if the path is unset:
echo $MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH
If unset, then either re-login, or source
/etc/profile.d/mozilla-common.sh and start Firefox from the same shell:
source /etc/profile.d/mozilla-common.sh && firefox
Gecko Media Player will not play Apple trailers
If Apple Trailers appear to start to play and then fail, try setting the user agent for your browser to:
QuickTime/7.6.2 (qtver=7.6.2;os=Windows NT 5.1Service Pack 3)

POV "Homegoings" Through the eyes of funeral director Isaiah Owens, the beauty and grace of African American funerals are brought to life. Filmed at Owens Funeral Home in New York City's historic Harlem neighborhood, "Homegoings" takes an up-close look at the rarely seen world of undertaking in the black community, where funeral rites draw on a rich palette of tradition, history and celebration. Combining cinema verite with intimate interviews and archival photographs, the film paints a portrait of the dearly departed, their grieving families and a man who sends loved ones "home. D

A Message from Jay Wilson offers Blizzard's outlook on expectations for Diablo III, forced to react to a comment by a community manager on the topic that was widely taken as an official statement (thanks Blizzplanet). Jay responds to the idea of lowering expectations by raising them, and also raises expectations of when to expect the release of their action/RPG sequel, saying: "you can seriously expect a launch-date announcement from us in the near future. See, I didn't say 'soon,' so I'm not taunting you. ;)" Here's word:

St Dwynwen's Day Cards and a Mocktail
27 Ionawr 2014,
Last saturday (25th) was St Dwynwen's Day! I hope you all had cards and treats... we had a family drop-in card making session here in St Fagans National History Museum and we also did a bit of sewing too.
We will be doing something pretty similar for Valentine's Day on 8th and 9th of February.
And the mocktail?
That was for reading group! We were discussing 'Rules of Civility' by Amor Towles which is set in 1930s New York and therefore we had suitably 30s type refreshments - Shirley Temples and kit kats all round! (the kit-kat was introduced in 1937). Our next reading group meet up will be on 22 February where we'll be discussing Alan Hollinghurst's 'The Stranger's Child'. It's a big book, so you'd better start now.

Three cheers for Diane Bowser for her letter ("Ad incites violence", June 7) regarding the inappropriate comment of Slippery Rock landlord Frank Monteleone, when he referenced a Florida school board shooting to enforce his message. Bowser echoed what many others felt upon reading his lengthy ad — many of us who are not involved in Slippery Rock issues and can be a little more objective.
I am certain Monteleone, who has been a vital part of his town's growth, now has second thoughts about his inclusion of the shooting phrase in an otherwise well-intentioned article.

Christmas albums can accomplish anything, in theory.
They can reinvigorate the careers of those who attempt them. (Though they usually don't.) They can launch new classics into the world. (This hasn't happened since "All I Want for Christmas Is You," in 1994, but still.) They can, and often do, serve as a lucrative source of income for decently voiced mainstream singers on the downward slope of their careers. (You can look forward to "A Very Bieber Christmas," its cover art depicting Justin Bieber posing on a bearskin rug in front of roaring fire in 2019.)
There are rules, mostly artistic ones, that every singer attempting a holiday album seems to instinctively know: There's no way to sing "The Little Drummer Boy" without sounding awkward, but you should do it anyway; one should choose either "The Christmas Song" or "White Christmas" (there's no need for both); avoid "Away in a Manger," as it's difficult to sing.
Because there are other, less obvious rules that any artist contemplating making a holiday album should consider, we've assembled a list of Christmas album Do's and Don'ts using some of the year's top holiday collections as examples.
1. Do not attempt to make a holiday album if you are under 30.
Holiday songs are one thing. Ariana Grande's great new cover of "Last Christmas" is the stuff tween Vine soundtracks are made of. But full-length holiday albums are worse than uncool — they're helplessly corny, even more so than Christmas sweaters. They're blunt instruments made for the likes of Susan Boyle, not Selena Gomez. Boyle's "Home for Christmas" is her second Christmas album — she's made only five albums total — and it's virtuous and bland and, in its own cautious way, perfect. This is holiday comfort food: songs you already know, arranged in a familiar fashion, sung by someone with the voice of an angel and the heart of a strict constructionist.
2. Take it seriously.
"Duck the Halls: A Robertson Family Christmas," in which members of the phenomenally popular "Duck Dynasty" clan awkwardly sing-speak seasonal tunes, is both terrible and endearing. It's rambunctious but respectful, cute but not precious, and lighthearted but wholly earnest, the latter in keeping with one of the most inviolate rules of holiday album-making: It's fine to mock yourself, but never, ever give the faintest suggestion you are mocking Christmas. "Duck the Halls" is not exactly destined to be an enduring classic, but everyone sings credibly well, with guest stars doing most of the heavy vocal lifting. George Strait turns up on a barely altered version of his classic "Christmas Cookies," and Luke Bryan does what he can with "Hairy Christmas" ("Like Jesus and Santa Claus/We got love behind these beards"). It's worth noting that "Duck the Halls" is one of the fastest-selling holiday albums of the past decade despite being the 2013 equivalent of that wall-mounted novelty fish that sang Al Green covers.
3. Guest stars are a must, preferably heavyweights from genres other than your own.
Veteran guest stars, especially ones associated with Christmas, are a good way for the novice seasonal album maker to let everyone know he's come to play. An appearance by Christmas music Hall of Famers Josh Groban or Michael Bublis invaluable. Alison Krauss, the Cate Blanchett of country music, can make even the iffiest of endeavors seem rarefied and noble just by stopping by. This year, she helps elevate "Duck the Halls" into something more than reality star karaoke. Enlisting superstars can also backfire: On her new album, "A Mary Christmas," Mary J. Blige loses a diva-off with Barbra Streisand on "When You Wish Upon a Star." Even attempting this was a rookie mistake. Barbra owns Christmas.
4. If you do use guest stars, make sure they're still alive.
This one is pretty important. Boyle duets with an Elvis Presley sample on her album-opening rendition of "O Come, All Ye Faithful." It should have been sweet — Boyle means well, and Elvis probably really liked Christmas — but it's just weird.
5. Know your audience.
"Christmas Songs," the first seasonal release from punk vets/holiday music aficionados Bad Religion, serves up breakneck but otherwise straightforward versions of holiday classics. It's a strange creature: Not cutting enough to be satire, not reverent enough to be homage. In a news release, guitarist Brett Gurewitz said the group wanted to prove that holiday songs could be still be powerful once they were "stripped of God and religion," which is true of many Christmas carols, just not these. Much of "Christmas Songs" consists of centuries-old hymns ("Hark! The Herald Angels Sing," "What Child is This?") not known for their secular subtext. The only non-carol is a new mix of the band's own '93 bomb thrower, "American Jesus." Besides fervent Bad Religion-ites, it's tough to figure out the collection's potential fanbase: Devout Christians who think their holiday music would sound better with a side of Clinton-era polemics? Hymn-loving atheists?
6. It helps if you really love Christmas.
Many artists regard holiday albums as obligatory cash cows for which they have an almost palpable disdain, but Kelly Clarkson loves Christmas more than you have ever loved anything. Clarkson is a big holiday album Get: Her voice can do anything, she's perky but not oppressively jolly, and — most unusually — she's not past her prime hit-making years. Her seasonal music debut, "Wrapped in Red," is one of the best in recent memory, featuring joyful, crisp versions of everything you might expect, plus a few originals. It all works: The title track is the best imitation of a Phil Spector Christmas song since U2's sainted cover of "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)," and she's not afraid to go lounge when she needs to ("White Christmas," with its bar-at-the-airport-Marriott piano). Clarkson inhabits "Silent Night" so utterly that she doesn't merely sing it, she unhinges her jaw and devours it. Guest vocalist Reba McEntire barely makes it out alive.
7. Sad people need Christmas music, too.
Blige's "A Mary Christmas" is a thing of wonder in which the singer's best qualities — her infinite capacity to convey sadness and personal disapproval, even in songs that are supposed to be happy — are displayed in perfect miniature. She Quiet Storms her way through "This Christmas," addresses Rudolph sternly in an energetic swing version of "Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer," treats Jessie J with queenly forbearance on "Do You Hear What I Hear?" and seems personally disappointed in "The Little Drummer Boy."
8. Holiday albums can be used to burnish your musical bona fides.
Trace Adkins has a reputation as an overly serious bruiser with a distaste for nuance. His first holiday release, "The King's Gift," is, of all things, an album of Celtic Christmas carols that's somber and lovely, closer to traditional folk than mainstream country. It's an album of incredibly earnest Olde songs, bolstered by instruments such as harps and Uilleann pipes, and it wants to be taken very seriously. The Chieftains show up (on a fine "I Saw Three Ships"), but no mention is made of Rudolph or Santa. For a nominally secular Christmas album, this could be a first.
9. It's the perfect time of year for a comeback.
People get nostalgic during the holidays, and they tend to want things as they were. Enter Kool & the Gang, whose first Christmas album in almost 50 years of existence, "Kool for the Holidays," is everything you might hope. It's goofy and cheery and instantly dated. Every song seems to be happening in some preserved-in-amber, 1980s version of Funkytown. Synths and jazz pianos abound, and someone inserted Ms. Pac-Man-style laser noises into "The Little Drummer Boy" because they thought — not incorrectly — that it sounded kind of cool.
10. It's okay to re-gift.
Many of the year's best offerings are actually re-packaged ghosts of Christmas past. Some, such as Bright Eyes' 2002 feedback-drenched mope-a-thon "A Christmas Album" (with a rendition of "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" that's so funereal, we're reconsidering rule No. 7), are only now seeing full release. Others, such as the budget-priced Classic Christmas series, offer newly assembled compilations of holiday hits from artists such as Streisand, Johnny Cash and Neil Diamond. The jewel of the series: a joint disc from George Jones and Tammy Wynette, who treat the holidays as an opportunity to drink, sulk and nourish petty marital resentments, resulting in a gritted-teeth holiday collection that has more present day relevance than "The Little Drummer Boy" ever will.

In grade school, Valentine's was at its purest and sweetest. Chalky candies and miniature envelopes. Handmade mailboxes set on the ends of our desks. Red construction paper, class parties and perforated cards folded in half, sealed with hearts.
I wanted to capture those old memories in designing this free "Craft Pack" download. It comes with six flat cards (like the "You are just swell" one peeking out below), and eight fold-over cards that can double as treat bag toppers. Both styles are inspired by the classic conversation heart. The fold-over cards can be sandwiched over a glassine bag of candy hearts. Or they can be given as is:You can leave their insides blank and write a personal note. Or if your paper is thick enough for double sided printing, you can use one of the patterned papers included in the download to add a tiny heart print to the reverse side (before cutting).If you'd like to make these read on for download instructions. Meanwhile, have a lovely weekend and a happy Valentine's day!By clicking on "Download" above, you can download the whole set:
1 sheet of 6 flat cards
2 sheets of 4 fold-over cards
4 sheets of patterned paper
You'll be downloading a .zip folder and inside you'll find a single .pdf file containing all the goodies - you'll need Acrobat Reader to view it. I've done my best to minimize file size but the download may still take a few minutes to complete.
Additional Instructions: All sheets of the download print on 8.5" by 11" paper. For best results use a sturdier paper like card stock. All the cards have a handy light gray outline for cutting, and the fold-overs have score marks as well. I recommend using a bone folder and ruler for nice crisp creases. To seal fold-over cards use a tiny dab of glue. To attached fold-over cards to treat bags use a stapler.

Grade School Valentines

Officials from the city of Dover and Kent County are in the early stages of assessing storm damage and flooding caused by Hurricane Sandy from Monday to Tuesday. Sandy dumped 8 to 10 inches of rain in several parts of the state of Delaware.
City of Dover and Kent County officials began assessing damages and flooding incurred by the formidable Hurricane Sandy during its landfall Monday evening into its departure Tuesday morning.
Sandy dumped 7.5 to 9 inches of rain in Kent County, including 8.47 inches at Dover Air Force Base, in a span of 36 hours, while Sussex County saw a high of 10.2 inches in Georgetown and New Castle County saw a high of 8.33 inches in Delaney Corner near Blackbird State Forest, according to unofficial tallies posted by the National Weather Service in Mount Holly, N.J. shortly after 5 p.m. Tuesday.
The National Weather Service also recorded wind gusts greater than 50 miles per hour throughout the state.
But, the state of Delaware was spared the full wrath of Hurricane Sandy, which was much harder on the New Jersey coast and New York City, among others, according to national reports.
A clearer picture of local damage would begin to emerge once city and county crews had some time to assess the area, local officials said.
Dover Public Information and Emergency Management Coordinator Kay Dietz-Sass said damage assessment teams were being put together in order to start assessing damages to personal and commercial property.
"We had some localized flooding of streets, a few submerged vehicles that were abandoned and some trees down," Dietz-Sass said Tuesday. "This was through the night. So, now with daybreak we will get a better idea with our teams coming in.
"Our call line is open and we ask that all property damage and trees down, et cetera, be reported," she said. "This information will be used for establishing our overall damages in the city."
Dover residents can report damage by calling 736-5085, Dietz-Sass said.
She also noted that the Dover Electric Utility was successful "at keeping our lights on again." Only a few residences lost power, and crews began working to restore power once the high winds subsided.
Kent County Levy Court also began assessing damage on Tuesday, with county officials stressing the need for people to report damage and flooding.
Kent County Department of Public Safety Director Colin Faulkner encouraged all residents who encountered damage due to Hurricane Sandy to place a claim by calling the Damage Assessment Center at (302) 735-3465.
But, in all, Kent County, Administrator Mike Petit de Mange was happy with how well the County Emergency Operations Center managed emergency response efforts, which began Sunday afternoon.
"We are extremely pleased and appreciative of the great work from our first responder community and emergency planners," he said. "A special word of thanks goes out to members of the Delaware National Guard who have deployed resources and personnel to provide essential support to these efforts."
The Delaware National Guard deployed about 300 support personnel throughout
Most Delaware State Parks to reopen Wednesday, Oct. 31
Day use areas at most Delaware State Parks will reopen at 8 a.m. Wednesday, Oct. 31 for normal operations. Exceptions are the Brandywine Zoo, Cape Henlopen State Park and Delaware Seashore State Park, all of which remain closed for cleanup and assessment of Hurricane Sandy's impact until further notice.
Campsites, cabins and yurts at Lums Pond and Trap Pond State Parks will reopen for normal operations on Wednesday, Oct. 31. Killens Pond State Park campsites and cabins will reopen on Thursday, Nov. 1. Campsites, cabins and cottages at Delaware Seashore and Cape Henlopen State Parks remain closed and will reopen as soon as is feasible.
Delaware for Hurricane Sandy, said Maj. Gen. Frank Vavala, adjutant general of the Delaware National Guard. In Kent and Sussex counties, each Emergency Operation Centers had six Humvees and six FMTVs (Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles) on hand. And there were also vehicles and soldiers at firehouses in Little Creek, Milford, Smyrna, Frederica and Marydel, among other places in the state, Vavala said.
By Tuesday, Kent County's coordination with the Delaware Emergency Management Agency (DEMA), the National Guard, the American Red Cross, fire departments, the Civil Air Patrol and the Delaware Department of Public Health and Social Services was being scaled back, Kent County Public Information Officer Kia Evans said.
In addition, the county still faced some power outages that Delmarva Power and the Delaware Electric Cooperative were addressing, Evans said.

text: I am intrigued just simply by the speed of this guy. He's not really on anyone's radar either this guy could be another 4th or 5th round LB that Carroll could and have Norton coach up into a starter. We know Carroll likes speed on defense. There is even a site that predicts he could run a 4.38 at the highest. 6'2" 230. Anyone watched any tape on this guy? He was also recruited to play saftey originally. Here is the link on the info on this on this guy i gotta say i really like his on paper looks right now.
