Doubleday; 371 pages; $22.50
Our gloriously contrary society despises lawyers with openhearted loathing (to exactly the degree, in fact, that it loves lawsuits). Anyone who doubts this should consider John Grisham's 1991 thriller, The Firm. At a casual look, The Firm was a competent, but fairly routine, on-the-run-pursued-by-nasties page turner. But it stayed on the New York Times best-seller list for an entire year, something accomplished by nothing but Dr. Seuss books and the kind of self-help manual that advises you to Hate Your Way to a Firmer, More Youthful Figure. The explanation -- to...

Chapters One - Three
Chapter Four
Chapter 5
Buster Fuckhead's childhood wasn't no crystal stair. Surely an insightful reader like yourself has suspected that a person does not end up regularly drunk, cynically resolute and insanely fixated on the ugliness of the human laugh without some kind of abusive story. So tighten your seatbelt, whether you are in an aged minivan or some other vehicle terrestrial or extra, for the background story of our sarcastic satyricon.
Buster was sired by a NYC cabbie. This cruel sperm donor found a "wonderful" Gypsy woman who offered to dance for him for a small fee during his not unusually sexually frustrated adolescence in the 1950's South Bronx of NYCity.
You see, one could end up driving a cab, pimping a whore or pushing a drug quite early in life in the underground economy of the Big Apple in those daze! But this was no usual gypsy girl and in fact this was not your average run of the mill street "entrepreneur".
Dad - an honors student at the local Catholic Grammar school Our Lady of Pity (oh yes a bit precocious in sexual interest and IQ). Mom - a scion of a traveling band of gypsy fortune-tellers (pickpockets, "exotic" dancers [before there were local, neighborhood strippers] and con artists.
Out of this incredibly rich and eccentric (the best kind) gene pool crawled the troublesome offsping (often thought to be a loose spring) Buster Gerard Magellan Fuckhead. And oh was he trouble!
His taxi chaffeuring "Dad" felt regularly compelled to shave the head of said progeny for his sundry and varied mishaps and miscreant capers. Like a tragic passenger aboard the taxi-esque barge on the river Styx, Buster was constantly shuttled to his consequent and often ugly fate by Papa's ingeniously cruel punishments. Did he deserve it? Hamlet says none of us should be treated as we truly deserve.
Right, left, or wrong who knows what evil or good lurks or blesses the heart of woman or man?!

"My parents always told me firmly, You're not spiritual you're religious!" a friend told me recently. "They would say Stay away from all that fluff."
I laughed. "What a switch."
"What's so funny?" she said.
"Well, the word on the street these days seems to be that it's bad to be religious and good to be spiritual."
"Oh right," she said, "And here I am trying to be both. What exactly is the difference anyway?"
I have no idea really, I thought to myself, but I know there isn't as much difference and divide as people like to think there is.
My own very shorthand definitions of these categories, including theology as part of a mind/body/spirit trio, are:
Religion is Body, flesh, how you act. It derives from the Latin re + ligare and means to bind back or secure. It has to do with practices—what you do with your body (worship, prayers) when you have the courage and humility to admit there is a power greater than just yourself, a spiritual power embedded in all creation. Religion's "binding" is not like a corset except in power-hungry minds that seek to oppress and control, but more like a ligament as its derivation suggests. It holds you together and also gives you lots of stretch. Religion gives you structure and community. You worship to say thanks. Then you go out and try to act with as compassion as you can.
Spirituality is soul or spirit within, invisible, how you feel knowing there is a spark of divinity within you and all humanity. Spirituality is a bit fluffy, diffuse and breezy like wind. It's Spirit, the breath of Love that kindles and fuels compassion in the world. It doesn't matter how you call it as long as you acknowledge its presence. Most of us know when we're out of sync with our spirituality. You feel like one of those bumper sticker happenings. Spirituality is like a yogic flow. What you feel, think, say and do are in union.
Theology is Mind, how you think about divinity. It's study of the Holy, coming to terms with your own reasoned and experienced sense of divinity, God. All of us are theologians, even atheists, so maybe we shouldn't relegate our personal theological thoughts to the closet or the experts.
Expressing and nurturing deep thoughts and feelings is what a religious/spiritual/theological community at its best does.

With scary looking rifle bonus!
Coworker Paul sent me this vid I thought y'all might like to check out.
Track: Gitsum
Artist: Hogjaw
As if the multiple rifles with standard capacity magazines that look like assault rifles weren't bonus enough, there is also a couple Mosin night-fire shots edited into the video.
Paul Helmke is not a sad panda this morning. He's too busy changing underwear right now to be sad.
MTV could possibly be a decent channel once again if they'd play videos like this, but their self-censorship forbids it.

As we dithered about seating, I was startled by a voice behind me questioning 'Ian?' I turned round to find a lady called Julie who I had worked with for a number of years on Nottingham in Bloom. Life is full of coincidences! Julie was also visiting Monet's garden.
Lunch at the Baudy Inn was great - French onion soup with crusty bread followed by a rich chocolate brownie and strong coffee. After lunch I went in search of the men's room and discovered a wonderful romantic but semi-derelict garden at the back of the inn - a perfect painter's paradise! Tucked into the hillside was a small building that I found was equipped as an artists studio, looking as if the artist had just popped out for another tube of paint but 50 years ago! A curious time capsule. From around the 1880's until WW1, a number of impressionist artists settled in this area, drawn by the presence of Monet, the landscape and the atmosphere. Apparently the Baudy Inn was very much the centre of artistic life in those days.
The village is picture postcard charming with little stone cottages and pretty rural gardens - very photogenic! At the end of the village is an old church with Monet's grave (not very photogenic). Inevitably there is a level of commercialism with numerous small galleries selling a variety of questionable art. There is also an impressionist museum with a well designed modern garden divided into colour compartments and a mechanical museum full of huge industrial equipment. Altogether a very pleasant day out and we were back in Paris in time for dinner!

For 26 weeks I will take you on a family history journey through the alphabet, one letter at a time. I have decided that each post will be educational in nature, focusing on topics related to resources, methodology, tools, etc. Although the challenge is complete, there are still some people who are finishing up and Alona, the host, is encouraging others to participate anyway. Additional information on the challenge, can be found at Take the 'Family History Through the Alphabet' Challenge.
Last month I posted about message boards and mailing lists. Now that we've gotten to the letter Q, it's time to talk about using those tools by developing effective queries.
Since message boards and mailing lists offer the opportunity to post a good amount of information, it's much easier to craft an effective query in these mediums than in a publication where queries are often limited due to space restrictions. In other words, TAKE ADVANTAGE of this opportunity and offer as much detail as possible in order to ensure your query is read and hopefully you'll get some helpful responses.
The Query
I hate to say it, but there are some really terrible queries out there. How do you respond to something like the following, posted to the Smith surname board on Ancestry?
Title: John Smith
Looking for John Smith died between 1880 and 1900, probably in Morgan County, Illinois.
*Okay, this is factitious and may be a little extreme, but I have seen queries of this broad and undefined nature before.
Chances are, you might not respond; heck, you may not even read the query since the title gives no indication of place, time period, or anything other than a very common name. The query is not any better than the title. Sure it gives a timeframe and a place, but do you know how many John Smith's died in Morgan county between 1880 and 1900? (At least four.)
Not only that, but when I see the range 1880-1900, I think, "missing 1890 census" and "20-year gap." Did John Smith really die, or did the researcher simply lose track of him in that 20-year span and jump to a premature conclusion? Who knows. There just isn't enough information in the query to work with.
So how do you craft an effective query when you don't know much about the person your are inquiring about? Good question. In my opinion, provide as much information as you can about the person in question as well as those you DO know about, like a spouse, parent, sibling, or child.
Here's an example. I don't know much about my third great- grandmother, Mary Ryan, but I do know a little bit about her children, which may help to identify her among the many Irish Mary Ryans out there. The following is what I would post:
Title: Mary RYAN Millett (County Kilkenny, Ireland; b. abt. 1842, d. 1912)
Trying to learn more about Mary RYAN, born about 1842 and died in County Kilkenny, Ireland in 1912. I'm particularly interested in finding out when and where she was born, as well as who her parents and siblings are. Here's what I know about Mary so far:
- She married John MILLETT on 20 February 1860 in County Kilkenny.
- Mary and John were enumerated in the 1901 and 1911 censuses, residing in Stroan, Kilfane Parish, County Kilkenny .
- Mary and John had at least seven children as follows:
- Margareth (1863-1945; removed to the United States and eventually settled in Aurora, Kane, Illinois; married Thomas CAHILL, also from County Kilkenny)
- Michael (1865-??; living in New York in 1945)
- Mary (1867-??)
- Robert (1872-??; living with parents in County Kilkenny in 1901 and 1911)
- Ellen (1874-??; married a ROBERTSON; living in Boston, Massachusetts in 1945)
- Anne (1878-??; may have died in 1902; living with parents in County Kilkenny in 1901)
- Catherine (1882-??; married John POWERS; living in County Kilkenny in 1945)
For additional details about the Ryan/Millett family, you can refer to my blog post Surname Saturday – Ryan (County Kilkenny) at http://genblogjulie.blogspot.com/2013/05/surname-saturday-ryan-county-kilkenny.html.
Additional info on Mary's children would also be much appreciated!
Willing to share information about Mary's daughter Margareth.
See how I used what I knew about both Mary and her children? If I simply stated only what I knew about Mary herself, it wouldn't have been much to go off. The post is still relatively short, but it gives enough relevant information to provide a good picture of the family I am looking for. Additionally, providing the information about her children shows where my gaps are that perhaps someone can fill in.
You'll also notice that I stated a purpose—what I was hoping to learn about Mary. While everything under the sun would be great, first and foremost, I specifically want to know when/where born and who her parents/siblings are. And, secondarily, if anyone has additional information on Mary's children, I'd be interested in filling those gaps as well.
Titles / Subject Lines
Titles should be specific to the person you are looking for. A name and some other identifier(s), such as location(s) or date(s) will help people determine if they need to read your query. We are all stretched for time and when we follow message boards or receive emails from mailing lists, we want to be able to go through them quickly and determine if we recognize something that we can help with. In the John Smith example I used earlier, that message would probably be skipped by many. If, however, it said "John Smith, b. 1808 in New London, Connecticut" or "John Smith, son of Josiah, b. 1808 in Connecticut" that might ring a bell with someone and they would proceed to open the message and see what the query is and if they are able to assist. Of course the query itself would have to be crafted well too!
Additional Tips
Following are a few additional ideas to consider when using message boards and mailing lists and crafting your query.
- Take a look at various message boards for inspiration. Just by looking at titles/subjects and the queries themselves, you can get an idea of what works and what doesn't.
- Please, please, please, write your query as if you were writing a business letter or email. Use proper grammar, capitalization, and punctuation, etc. It is so frustrating to read a huge run-on sentence with no punctuation, misspelled words, etc. If you want to be taken seriously, please follow this advice!
- If you have a tree online, share a link direct to the person you are inquiring about so that others can see any additional information you may have as well as the family structure. Alternatively, if you have a detailed blog post, research article, biographical sketch, or narrative available online about the person and/or other family member(s) mentioned in the query, provide a link to those as well (you'll notice I did this in my example).
- Post to multiple message board and mailing list providers. And don't forget to post to both the surname (including alternate spellings) and locality boards. For instance, I may choose to post my Mary Ryan query on Ancestry's message board, under both the Ryan surname and the County Kilkenny boards, as well as the Ryan surname and County Kilkenny mailing lists at RootsWeb, and the Ryan surname board at GenForum. I'd even flip the query to focus on Mary's husband John, and post to the Millett, Millet, Milott, Mylott, etc. surname boards through the various providers. I wouldn't have to post again to the County Kilkenny boards because I include both Mary's maiden and married names in the title of the query.
- When you learn more about a person you've previously posted a query about, add a "reply" to the original message with the new information.
A Final Thought
Granted, message boards can be used for other things besides looking for a specific individual or family. You may have a question about records in a particular location (e.g., what's available, where a certain record set it located, what sources do people recommend, etc.). You could have questions about the history of or an event that took place in a specific location. You might hope to find someone willing to do a lookup for you, or even inquire about genealogists for hire in a place that you are unable to travel to. The same "rules" for titles and queries apply. Be specific and provide enough information so that people can actually help you.

The original Direct Ascent designs and Earth Orbit Rendezvous missions used variants of the Gemini spacecraft, and was later considered to perform space-taxi missions to space stations. Stock or Mod entries welcome. This is a challenge to explore the NASA Gemini Lunar program. There is a base of +20 points for performing the primary mission objective with bonus points awarded for executing the mission in various configurations. Points are balanced with consideration to: Mission complexity Accurate Gemini details Accurate lifter details Spacecraft complexity Rescue readiness Crazy 60's details Primary mission objective (+20): Stock or Mod parts*. Separate leaderboard for each. Using a mission profile of 1-2 launches and a two-Kerbal crew, orbit both Kerbals around the Mun and return the crew to Kerbin. Possible Launch Profiles: EOR: 2 Launches. Two spacecraft rendezvous and dock in LKO then proceed to Munar orbit. LOR: 2 Launches. Two spacecraft rendezvous and dock in Munar orbit and perform a Mun landing. Direct ascent: Launch one spacecraft and establish a Munar orbit. Note: An additional launch using Direct Ascent mission profile may be launched if attempting the Munar rescue readiness points ("Got your back" or "We have a reservation"). Bonus points: Mission Direct Ascent (+4): Using a single launch, establish a crewed Munar orbit. Earth Orbit Rendezvous (+5): Using two launches to low Kerbin orbit, dock two spacecraft. Once docked, send the docked spacecraft to Munar orbit. Munar Orbit Rendezvous (+6): Using two launches to low Kerbin orbit, separately send two spacecraft to Munar orbit. Once there, dock them together and complete a landing mission. Landing prestige: One Kerbal on the Mun (+7). Second Kerbal on the Mun (+4).

Hi chickadees?! How's everyone's Monday so far? I just landed in Barcelona, Spain to meet up with my friend + photog, Hanna! We're going to spend the week exploring the Spanish islands and shooting lots of content. I'm also trying my hand at "vlog-ing", so stay tuned for that. In the meantime, I wanted to post about our trip to the Gulf Coast of Florida a few months back! I've been going down to the Gulf Coast [ right below the border of Florida + Alabama ] since I was a baby, so I may be biased when I say it's one of the most beautiful places on earth. Keep readin' and let me know what you think!
After years of bunking with relatives or renting little vacation homes, my parents accomplished one of their dreams of getting a house of their own in Santa Rosa Beach. Aaaand let me tell you, it's the best! One of my favorite parts is this winding staircase up to a lookout tower. You can see the entire Gulf of Mexico from up there.
One of our favorite little towns is Seaside, a quaint neighborhood with the yummiest restaurants ever. It's pretty much looked the same since I was five years old…just the way I like it 🙂
Alys Beach : Pristine white houses + pretty courtyards. The most glam spot on 30A [ that's what we call the area we live because County Road 30A runs through the middle of it ].
Seaside : Little beach houses in every color of the [ pastel ] rainbow. Complete with gravel streets, food trucks + an amphitheater with live music!
Watersound Beach : The only spot on 30A that has protected sand dunes. Rolling white sand and tons of wildlife!
Rosemary Beach : Beachside town meets New Orleans charm. Has some of the best restaurants within walking distance plus a fancy shmancy new hotel!
Grayton : The oldest + most historical area on the Gulf Coast. Overgrown palms and sprawling Jasmine covers vintage airstreams and wooden bungalows!
The primary mode of transportation on the Gulf Coast? Beach bikes, duh! There are few things I love more in this life than riding my little blue bike barefoot to the beach. Say that five times fast, I dare ya!
Another one of my favorite spots? Alys Beach! Every single house is white stucco with colorful shutters…there are beautiful courtyards + countless alleyways to explore. Verrrrry romantic vibe, for you lovebirds reading this!
Did someone say tacos?! Our little Florida paradise has so much good food. From fresh seafood [ red snapper is my fave ], to tacos + queso [ AKA cheese dip for those poor souls who haven't experienced queso yet ], you could spend an entire week on the Gulf Coast without trying all the best restaurants.
La Crema Tapas + Chocolate : My absolute number one! Every single menu item is delicious and it's all small plates for sharing. Be sure to try the white orange Sangria [ if you're over 21 of course ]!
Pizza By The Sea : Just good, solid pizza. Enough said, right?!
Seagrove Market : An older spot with tons of history and tons of good, fried southern food. Shrimp po boys and chicken tenders galore!
The Doughnut Hole : Their cinnamon sugar donuts will change your life. Just trust me on this one.
Edward's : A romantic little spot in Rosemary Beach! Eat outside in a European style courtyard while a local guitarist strums some tunes.
Red Bar : Local favorite in Grayton Beach! You can't look up the menu, because the chef writes it on a chalkboard after he gets a look at what fresh caught fish came into the kitchen that day.
As its name suggests, the Gulf Coast is located on the Gulf of Mexico. That means miles and miles of warm, crystal clear water and some of the whitest sand you've ever seen. It's dreamy!
Is there anything else y'all want to know about the Gulf Coast?! Let me know in the comments below. Xx

Fried Shoes /Cooked Diamonds
I came across this You Tube segment of a Gregory Corso class while perusing Elephant Journal's recent story on Naropa Univeristy. To my great delight it links you to the complete streaming of Costanza Alione's fantasticly entertaining documentary on Naropa's early days Fried Shoes Cooked Diamonds. The entire cast of characters are all there in full color, William S Burroughs, Timothy Leary, Amiri Baraka, Anne Waldman, Peter Orlovsky, Allen's Italian Translator Nanda Pivano, and many more. A most playful film very much worth watching.

The Beats: A Graphic History
By Harvey Pekar, Nancy J. Peters, Penelope Rosemont, Joyce Brabner, Trina Robbins and Tuli Kupferberg
(Hill and Wang; 199 pages; $22)
We haven't had a chance to check out the graphic novel The Beats: A Graphic History so for now we're relying on Gerald Nicosia's review in last Sunday's San Francisco Chronicle. He points out some troubling factual errors, some fairly egregious ones in fact, but is even-handed enough to point out the books strong points, of which there seem to be many.
However, our favorite, without a doubt the most amusing & no-holds-barred vicious review, comes via Greg Adams in The Oregonian..
Once we get a look at it, we'll throw in our two cents.
...and here's (just in) John Leland in the New York Times
...and "Stacy" on the City Lights page - "I've read a lot of Beat books in my time here at City Lights but none are quite as fun as this graphic history"
"Fun"? - ok, "fun" - we'll go along with that!

George Schneeman: Painter Among Poets 1934 -2009
New York City painter George Schneeman passed away this January. He was a frequent collaborator with generations of Lower East Side poets, including Ed Berrigan, Larry Fagin, Dick Gallup, Alice Notley, Bill Berkson, Anne Waldman, Ron Padgett and Allen Ginsberg and very much part of the neightborhood's cultural fabric. Anne Waldman's wonderful short appreciation of his life in the current Poetry Project Newsletter (below) is a moving introduction to the painter among poets for those unfamiliar. Tributes & poems from Tom Clark, Alice Notley & Ron Padgett are in the same issue. New York Times have also paid their respects.

Ginsberg in Charleville December 1982
[image: Arthur Rimbaud. Musee Rimbaud]
Dutch writer & scholar Joep Bremmers has been working on a Journals project transcribing Ginsberg's European Tour journals from December 1982-February 1983, meticulously footnoted alongside the originals. They begin with Ginsberg's trip to Charleville, Arthur Rimbaud's home town, with Dutch poet Simon Vinkenoog, sections of which we'll post below. Bear in mind this is still very much a work in progress, and will likely form the core of a larger project on Vinkenoog & Ginsberg's trip to Charleville. Check back for updates. Incidentally, a collection Ginsberg's poems translated by Vinkenoog, is due out later this year by the Dutch publisher IJzer.
The first few pages are Ginsberg's notes to himself, perhaps not that meaningful, but provide context as the first pages of the journal.

Kill Your Darlings
[Kulchur Magazine Cover: William S Burroughs and Jack Kerouac, morningside Heights, New York City December 1944. Ginsberg Collection]
We knew it wouldn't be long before And the Hippos Were Boiled in their Tanks (penned by Kerouac and Burroughs) would find it's way into some screenwriter's hands, but didn't expect it this quickly. This is the first any of us have heard about this one, so no interesting background to share I'm afraid. I can say that with producer Christine Vachon (Boys Don't Cry, I'm Not There, Savage Grace) behind it, things are off to a very good start. Variety posted standard basic facts announcement yesterday, but for something a little more amusing, Queerty.com will not disappoint, tagging it as "a murder mystery where everyone is attractive and well-read."
To be fair, the script is probably not drawn directly from Hippos since many people had written versions of the story, Ginsberg included, but this having just hit the stores last fall, the timing is at least curious.
On the other Beat film front, the film Howl is now in it's second day of shooting in various locations throughout New York City. Our friends in London found these before we did.

This is an invitation for quality essays that address Beat Generation writers and other artists from the perspective transnationalism and/or globalization.
Possible topics include but are not limited to the following:
1. Beat movements in countries other than the United States contemporaneous with the U.S. movement (parallel with or without direct contact);
2. Interactions, collaborations, and mutual influences between American Beat writers and writers in other countries;
3. Writers/groups that were influenced by the Beats and Beat travels to other countries, specifically younger writers in the 1960s influenced by Beat publications, but also later writers/artists as well;
4. Cultural production such as Beat-related coffeehouses, poetry festivals, little magazines, publishers around the world that show the influence, affiliations, collaborations with the American Beats; also the contributions of organizers, publishers, booksellers, etc.;
5. Discussion of Beat critiques of the postwar capitalism from the perspectives of globalization;
6. Beats and Pacific Rim culture and ecopoetics

Eliot Katz
I'd like to point out Eliot Katz's new collection of poems that definitely merits mention here. Love, War, Fire, Wind: Looking out from North American's Skull, published by Narcissus Press with illustrations by William T. Ayton, covers work from 2000 on.
Allen & Eliot became friends beginning with Eliot's apprenticeship under Allen at Naropa in 1980, and they remained close due in part to their kindred spirit for activism for humanitarian causes. Posting these two pieces as teasers, "Letter to Allen," & "Recalling Allen," since of course they're Ginsberg related, and give a vivid glimpse Allen's interaction with students and energetic activism.
For anyone in the NYC area on March 11, the book release party is at the Bowery Poetry Club. He'll be reading in collaboration with with bassist Russell Branca, with slides by William T. Ayton, as well as special guest poets Alicia Ostriker, Danny Shot, and Diana Ayton-Shenker

For a while, the postponed adjustments and maladjustments are papered over by financial enthusiasm. Financial euphoria allows profits and wealth to seemingly persist in spite of accumulating underlying imbalances. When the euphoria breaks, the imbalances are exposed, and it takes a long time to Recalculate.I'm still thinking about the recalculation question in terms of information distortions. How ideology is loosed in the economy deliberately, to produce the "financial euphoria" that allows bubbles to grow. Sometimes there is a tendency in the financial press to reduce "confidence" to a matter of interest rates -- rates down, confidence up, and vice versa. Or there is an over-reliance on confidence surveys, as if confidence is unaffected by the very reports in the press about confidence.
Since the manufacture of confidence prolongs profits, the press is under pressure to do its part to prolong the euphoria, and a counter-discourse explaining the "underlying imbalances" tends to be suppressed, marginalized, ignored. If we are serious about preventing bubbles, regulating finance, it's important to identify the tactics by which this marginalization occurs and develop ways to counteract it.
The underlying issue is to minimize distortions in the messages financial markets communicate, an intrinsically difficult problem -- at the macro level we want everyone to be honest; at the micro level we are all trying to screw others over and leave them holding the bag of bad investments we're at some fundamental level trying to pump and dump. At the micro level, we all have incentive to distort information about our investments if we are trying to realize cash profits. But the question of whether we want to be in cash is determined by the macro picture, which are own disinformation is muddying.
So how does skeptical, nuanced information get conveyed in markets, which can only send one-dimensional signals through price? How does the press convey that nuance when it is beholden to interests demanding it help maximize asset values, despite the social interest in achieving "true asset values" to forestall the need for drastic recalculation?
Manufacturing confidence seems like a problem that standard mathematical economic tools can't capture; it's a sociological question. I think this is what Brooks was getting at in his review of Kling's book -- that equations and their implications still need to be mediated, tempered by a sociological discourse surrounding them. The point is that structural adjustments occur according to the information available to entrepreneurs, but the information by which to make such plans is now corrupted by several factors -- purposeful distortions by interested parties, the sheer volume of information now available to individuals, the free-floating ideological imperative to be "confident" in capitalism and stoke "animal spirits". After all, the animal spirits thesis seems to suggest that entrepreneurs must already be misinformed in order to risk investing at all. How to integrate that with a macro story that says entrrepreneurs are using information to make for a more sustainable economy, with fewer inbalances.

The longest winter.
This winter has been the longest of my life. Never before have I longed for 30+ temperatures quite the same as I have this year. I can now see a small patch of grass visible through the snow on the side of my house where the last two days of sun has shined/shown down the most, the part where winds have prevented a larger pile of snow that limits the melting effects. And this patch of grass makes me infinitely hopeful.
This winter has been so long I've begun to feel like summer is a fable, a tall tale, that I've heard about in books and Disney movies but doesn't exist in real life.
Each time the future is referenced I frame it in the context of whether or not flip flops can be worn then.
I've seriously considered the consequences of abandoning my house and mortgage and packing the car, driving to the southernmost point of the US.
Yesterday it was 35 degrees in the evening when the kids and I left the house, and none of us wore coats, in appreciation of the warm temperatures.
My first winter as a runner, and my first training for a half marathon, has been met with record low temps and record snowfall, rendering outdoor running impossible.
I'm certain that I'm suffering from seasonal affective disorder, but I've been too cold and had too much snow in my driveway to allow me to visit a doctor for diagnosis.
This is day 90ish of my captivity. I'm beginning to break. If spring doesn't arrive soon, I'm fearful for the safety of my family.
Praying for rescue. Please, snow, melt. And soon.

Without Hesitation (Sing)
She felt guilty for always walking out on Brody. He really deserved better, and the fact that he was so understanding about everything just made her feel even worse.
But things were complicated, far more than the simple excuse she gave of her brother, and she was nowhere near sorting any of it out any time soon.
So, with the usual hasty goodbye, Abby opened the door to walk out, and slammed into a solid obstacle.
As much of a klutz as she was, she initially thought that she'd actually just walked into the door, but then the solid mass she'd collided with started to speak.
"I'm really sorry about that. I'm looking for John Brody," a familiar voice explained, sounding a bit confused. Understandable, since for one thing, it was 2 a.m.; and for another thing, Brody did not have long blond hair.
When the voice spoke again, there was less confusion and more anger in it, "Abby? What are you-," her brother Richie began, then cut himself off, no doubt having clicked the pieces together. "That was your bra," he practically spat with the expression of a victim of an immense betrayal.
Abby cursed and quickly stepped back into the apartment, intending to slam the door in Richie's face and make an escape via the window, but his palm on the door stopped her from executing her plan.
"Hey, that was a good bra...," she started to babble as she found herself being pushed backwards by Richie. When she turned to look for Brody, she was thankful that he'd managed to at least put his pants on.
Maybe Richie would believe them if they said that they'd just been talking. And maybe the next day, they'd see pigs flying. Optimism had its limits.
"Hey, bro, do you have something you need to talk about with someone too?" Brody offered with a little too much forced cheerfulness, hoping in vain but without harm in trying, to convince Richie that he and Abby had been doing anything else besides having a harmless innocent conversation.
"Yeah," Richie replied with just barely controlled rage. "My fist has something to say," he continued, lunging at his partner.
Abby grabbed her brother's arm in an attempt to stop him, but he easily brushed her aside.
Like a deer caught in the headlights of a car, Brody assumed a half-hearted defensive stance and faced his opponent with abject terror. He was about to find out that when Richie says he'll do something without hesitation, he means it.
Brody was sure he was going to die.
Donnie placed the squad car gear in park and turned to look at their destination.
"I thought that address sounded familiar," he said as he stepped out of the vehicle. "Isn't this where Brody lives?"
"Sure is," Steve replied, pulling out his notepad. "And I'm pretty sure the apartment we're supposed to check out is his too."
When they reached the door, they heard sounds of scuffling on the other side and looked at each other with concern.
"Sounds like trouble. Should we skip the pleasantries?" Steve asked, reaching for his gun.
Donnie stopped him. "No, better do this by the book or we might get some IA babysitter on our backs," he answered with a sneer as he gave the door a knock.
To say that they were surprised to see who greeted them would be a severe understatement.
"Sis?" Donnie exclaimed.
"Donnie! Steve!" Abby replied nervously, a sense of déjà vu overwhelming her. "What are you doing here?"
"We got a complaint from one of the neighbours," Steve explained. "Isn't this Brody's place? Where is he? Is everything okay?"
As Steve interrogated Abby, she tried to block their view of what was happening inside, but Donnie managed to peer around her.
"What the—Is that Richie...are he and Brody fighting? Why in the hell are they beating up each other?" he wondered aloud while trying to push Abby – who was firmly gripping the doorframe to prevent them from entering – out of the way.
"What?" Steve interjected, "Richie's beating up his partner..." His mouth gaped with comprehension a split second later. "Brody's the guy the pills are for?" he confronted Abby with shock, yet with a twinkle of mischief in his eyes.
Abby's grip on the doorframe faltered, but instead of her other two brothers rushing in to stop a potential homicide, they just stood in place and stared at her.
"John and I, we...we're just friends... With benefits..." Abby tried to defend herself, weakly.
Donnie's eyes grew wide as he mouthed a silent curse. Then, with a firm grip on Abby's shoulders, he started shaking her, perhaps hoping that the physical act would have a psychological effect of knocking some sense into her.
"WHAT WERE YOU THINKING, ABBY?" he yelled at her.
Steve meanwhile had sidestepped them both and was helping himself to whatever he could find in Brody's fridge, even as the fight in progress seemed nowhere near resolution.
Things had just reached a whole new level of complicated, and Abby still had no idea where to even begin solving anything. So, in typical Abby fashion, she did what she always did when she was up against the wall, even if she didn't actually do it too well:
She started to sing.
Standard disclaimers apply
Notes: As of the writing of this, the actual episode that deals with this issue (Richie finding out about Abby and Brody) is yet to be shown (Episode 5 – from the looks of the preview anyways). And I have no idea what the shifts are like at CPD or who the partners of the other Kowalski cops are (would it be possible for Donnie and Steve to actually be partners?), but I guess that's the beauty of creative liberty ;)
I hope you enjoyed reading this as we wait for the forthcoming episodes of the series :)

There are many words to describe the ballet. Graceful. Fluid. Athletic. But Ballet Arizona's "Topia" brings another one to mind: hot. And not just because it's performed outdoors in the sultry desert air.
Artistic director Ib Andersen's creation premiered last May at the Desert Botanical Garden in Phoenix. Set to Beethoven's "Pastoral" Symphony No. 6, it is an homage to nature performed in costumes so skimpy they're almost au naturel — at least on the men, whose nude-tone briefs (and nothing else) inspired a few tittering comments from the audience last spring.
Maybe it was the wine.
"Initially I was inspired by Greek and Roman art," Andersen says, explaining the wispy white tunics worn by the women and the faux nudity of the men. Think frolicking nymphs and satyrs or the ancient Olympic Games. Or even Adam and Eve in the (botanical) garden.
"The human body is great, especially if you look like dancers. What's not to like? ... I didn't actually want them to wear anything, except I find that distracting. I don't think nudity ever works because you don't really see what's going on. You're distracted by all that extra movement."
Um, indeed. But although it is hardly urbane to say so, the fact is that Eros has always been central to the appeal of ballet. Dance celebrates the human form, and once you throw in the movement vocabulary of partnering — the lifts and catches, the legs wrapped around torsos — the sensual aspects aren't nearly as sublimated as politeness requires us to pretend.
"I think that in ballet you need to see the body, especially in the more neoclassical or contemporary pieces," company member Joseph Cavanaugh says. "That's kind of where the beauty happens now, not necessarily from the costuming but from the actual movement of the body."
That goes double for "Topia," in which the men wear a bare minimum of fabric attached directly to their dance belts — ballet's version of a jock strap.
"People are running around with sticky glue or double-sided tape to make sure it doesn't slide up anywhere," Cavanaugh says.
"They say you can see somebody's soul when they perform. So I guess if they have little to no clothing on, you see everything, including their soul."
If you detect a note of nonchalance, it's because Cavanaugh is a veteran dancer. Not everyone is quite so jaded, he adds: "Some are shy, some are not. But when they're asked to do the work, they do it."
From the female perspective, ballerina Beau Campbell agrees there's some discomfort with putting oneself on display for the audience.
"You're self-conscious, but you don't act like you are," she says. "Once the lights go on and you're out there, you're transported somewhere else, so it doesn't really matter."
Not to give the impression that "Topia," which will be reprised this month at the botanical garden, is some sort of highbrow dirty dancing. It really is inspired by nature, and animal magnetism, so to speak, is only part of that.
In one section, a single male figure dances flirtatiously with a coterie of scantily clad women, and then the rest of the men charge in to chase him off, like a stampeding herd.
Or not.
"One of the inspirations was classical Greek mythology, where Pan was frolicking and then the gods became upset and sent a terrible storm," Cavanaugh explains. "We refer to that as 'the monsoon.' "
The great thing about abstract dance is you get to make up your own story. Which is why, even though "Topia" was created for its Sonoran Desert setting, Andersen is hoping to tour it to other idyllic settings. Greece, for one, would be apropos.
"I would love to do it at the Odeon of Herodes Atticus on the Acropolis," he says. "It's this old stone amphitheater, perfect size, perfect surroundings. …
"Most people don't really tour anymore because it's such an expense. But since we are not so big, and since they don't wear much costume, it doesn't take much. You know, one little suitcase for the entire company. So we should be able to handle that."

Things You Should Never Buy at Yard Sales.
Last week I shared 5 things you should always buy at yard sales and this week I thought I should follow up with a list of things you should never buy at yard sales.
Although yard sales are great places to find some fantastic bargains, there are some items you should never consider picking up, for various reasons.
1. Hats
When someone wears a hat, they leave their sweat and possible remnants of hair products behind. They may even share their head lice with you. Gross!
2. Mattresses and Bedding
Bed bugs are everywhere these days and you don't want to risk bringing them home from a yard sale and letting them take up residence in your home. Not only are bed bugs a concern, but by purchasing used mattresses and bedding, you are likely sleeping with someone else's bacteria and even worse – their bodily fluids.
3. Tires
Tires can become unstable and very unreliable if they've ever been in an accident. Play it safe and buy them new. Don't ever take chances with your safety.
4. Child Car Seats
If the car seat you purchase was in an accident, it may not protect your child to the extent that it should. Buy this item new – brand new. There are often many great deals on car seats. Don't put the safety of your child at risk.
5. Helmets
Just like a child car seat, you never know if someone was in an accident while wearing a helmet – and if they were, this could affect just how much you would be protected by wearing the same helmet on your head. Avoid buying this item used – get it new, instead.
I'm sure there are some honest people out there having yard sales, trying to sell these items. I'm sure there is nothing wrong with them.
The point is that you likely don't actually know these people, so you don't know for sure just how those items have been used by the previous owner.
Play it safe and just stay away from these items at yard sales all together (avoid them anywhere used – not just yard sales – thrift stores and online classifieds, too!)

When an injury occurs on the job, the result can have a great deal of financial, physical, and emotional significance. Victims may be left unable to work and struggling to pay their bills. In addition, they may suffer emotional harm due to their inability to return to their job and support their family. The good news for victims is that they may have a potential claim for compensation against various outside parties. One example is if the injury was caused by the use of a defective product while on the job. In these cases, the manufacturer may be liable for your injuries and losses.
4 Steps to Prove a Defective Product Liability Claim After a Workplace Injury
If you were injured while on the job, it is crucial to seek legal guidance from a knowledgeable professional. Proving a product liability claim after an accident at the workplace is not easy without the proper guidance. Generally, to successfully pursue such a claim, you must be able to show the following:
You Suffered an Injury or Loss While at Work or While Performing Job-Related Tasks
The first and perhaps most important aspect of pursuing a third-party claim after a workplace injury is that an actual injury or monetary loss must have occurred. You cannot successfully pursue a claim as a result of an "almost" or "potential" injury or loss. For example, if the equipment you are using on the job site is defective and leads to an explosion, this alone is not enough to allow you to pursue a products liability claim unless the explosion caused you to suffer an injury or loss.
As Part of Your Job, You Used a Defective Product to Help Carry Out Your Duties
Proving that the product was actually defective is a crucial aspect of pursuing a product liability claim as a result of a workplace injury. The way in which you prove that a product is defective depends on the type of claim that you are pursuing. For example, you may claim that there was a manufacturing error, a design defect, or that the maker of the product failed to provide proper warnings of the potential danger. It is important to consult with an experienced attorney after your workplace injury to help determine the type of claim to pursue and how to prove that the product that caused your injury or loss was defective.
As a Result of the Defect in the Product, You Suffered the Injury or Loss
Again, even if you suffered an injury or loss and even if such injury or loss was associated with a certain defective product, you must show that the defect in the product is what caused your injury or loss. Whether or not this is difficult to prove depends on the unique facts and circumstances surrounding your workplace injury.
At the Time of Your Injury, You Were Using the Product as Intended
Yet another critical aspect of a product liability claim after a workplace injury is to show that you were using the product the way in which it was intended at the time of your injury or loss. This means that you must have been using the product consistent with the way in which the manufacturer intended consumers to use it. The test that is applied is generally whether an ordinary person would use the product in the way in which you were using it at the time of the injury. It is important to note, however, that there is some leeway with regard to this element of pursuing your claim. While you must have been using the product in a way that was reasonably intended, you do not have to use it exactly and precisely in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications. Instead, you must have been using the product in a manner in which the manufacturer could reasonably have expected that an ordinary consumer would have used it.
Even if the facts and circumstances surrounding your accident are consistent with all of the above statements, it is critical to remember that you must pursue your claim within certain time limitations. For this reason, we encourage you to reach out today for a free consultation at 855-947-0707.

New Delhi: The Supreme Court today refused to entertain a plea challenging Tamil Nadu government's decision to set up a one-man Commission to probe the death of AIADMK chief and former Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa.
A bench of Chief Justice Dipak Misra and Justices A M Khanwilkar and D Y Chandrachud dismissed the plea filed by a Chennai-based P A Joseph alleging that there was a possibility of undue influence and bias as the panel was set up by the state government itself without any resolution passed by the state assembly.
The state government has set up the panel headed by Justice A Arumughaswamy, a former Madras High Court judge, to probe the death of Jayalalithaa on December 6, 2016 at a private hospital in Chennai.
"Your (Joseph) challenge has been accepted by the High Court. Do you want the inquiry to go on or you do not want the inquiry," the bench asked.
When the lawyer for Joseph replied in affirmative, the bench made it clear that it would not entertain the appeal against the High Court order.
Joseph, in his appeal, had said, "party MLAs are involved in the whole episode of hospitalisation, treatment, death of the former Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu J Jayalalithaa. There is every possibility of influence, pressure, bias when it comes to a commission constituted by the state government themselves, the present commission cannot be expected to do an independent inquiry...".
The petition had alleged that Madras High Court had erred in holding that a resolution from the legislature was not mandatory and a mere opinion of the government itself was enough to constitute a commission under the Commission of Inquiry Act, 1952.
The plea said that the prior resolution by Parliament or the State Legislative Assembly is mandated under Section 3 of the Commission of Inquiry Act, 1952.
It alleged that the Commission of Inquiry was set up by the Tamil Nadu government unilaterally without prior legislative debate or resolution.
Joseph moved the top court after the High Court dismissed the allegations on October 4.

Go.... Stop... Go
I started blogging years ago, which at the time I would refer to as 'writing in an online journal', and my posts were spiritual in nature. Blogging came full steam at the same time that I attempted to learn to truly appreciate the art of Go. Everything about those few months was very enjoyable but it had to come to an end. I began to work on a Buddhist blog on the side, but that quickly began to consume all of my time. It wasn't that the blog itself needed the time, but that I needed the time to sit, quiet my mind, and penetrate into the nature of emptiness, form, and this silly little reality we call "everything." Sitting down Go stones and arranging them and then picking them up again had made me think about quotes from famous Zen monks, monks who enjoyed the game of Go. It was time to think about dependent origination and not joseki. My hope was that my time away would strengthen my mind and when I returned to Go, I would return with a better mind to play the game. Ha! Like that will happen. Over the next few weeks I hope to get out my Go board a few times. I marked my calender. May 1 I hope to return to the Go world... and play here and there... study a few joseki... try to win 1 game in 20 and, most importantly, enjoy myself as much as I did before. Go was invented in China along with a 'Way' that has no rules, that cannot be defined, and cannot be won and held in the hand. The 'Way' can be followed to perfection once it is learned, and for that we look to the men of old. Until the clouds part, the moon's light will not illuminate this soul.

USTA Jr. Team Tennis offers kids the opportunity to play on teams in leagues that emphasize fun, fitness and friends. Leagues match players of similar age and ability using the Junior National Tennis Rating Program. Teams play in one of three divisions (Quickstart, Intermediate, or Advanced) depending on their age and skill level and face off against other teams in their area. Kids get involved in a healthy, active sport and they stay involved, because they're part of a team. As a result, they learn more than tennis, they learn the importance of teamwork while having a ball with their friends. For more information on JTT please contact Barbara Lemberg or Arthur Castro.

High Street taskforce aims to rejuvenate retail
- Details
- Published on Monday, 29 October 2012 08:55
Empty, dilapidated shops are a familiar scene across many of Britain's struggling town centres.
Senior figures from across the banking, retail and property sectors have signed up to a new industry-wide group, the Distressed Retail Property Taskforce.
They are joining forces to find ways to rejuvenate failing town centres.
The taskforce may be one of the most significant developments since Mary Portas's much-talked-about review of the High Street.
Its first priority will be to find out how big the problem of retail property indebtedness is across the UK.
The group met for the first time last week, and on Monday announced who had signed up to the body.
Members include the British Council of Shopping Centres, the British Property Federation and the Local Government Association. Lloyds Bank and the Royal Bank of Scotland are also represented, along with the Booksellers Association.
"We have too many shops, the wrong size and under-invested"
Mark Williams Taskforce chairman
Empty, dilapidated shops are a familiar scene across many of Britain's struggling town centres.
Whole swathes of retail - from shopping centres to run-down or shuttered-up shops - are worth far less than they used to be, with landlords unable or unwilling to invest, yet loath to sell and write off their debts.
Many landlords are also slow to cut the rents they demand in order to attract new tenants, because they have to earn a minimum rental income to keep up with their debt payments.
Often, the properties are no longer worth enough to repay those landlords' debts.
And that means the landlords and the banks that lent them the money to buy their properties in the first place, find themselves in the same boat together.
Both face the same dilemma - whether to invest in the property in the hope of selling it at a higher price in the future, or instead to throw in the towel and sell off the property even if this means a big loss for both the landlord and its lender.
In many cases, however, landlords and their banks have simply ducked this hard choice, and are instead trying to struggle on with idle or dilapidated retail space.
Chair of the Distressed Retail Property Taskforce Mark Williams: "It is predominately towns that have been impacted"
The challenge for the Distressed Retail Property Taskforce is how to break the stalemate.
It is the first time an industry-wide body has been formed to look at indebted properties, and several big banks are also taking part.
Its first task is to find out the true scale of the problem.
The Distressed Retail Property Taskforce will spend around six months gathering hard evidence on the true scale of the problem and the towns worst affected.
Life support
The big challenge is to try to come up with some solutions, according to Mark Williams, the chairman of the new body.
Banks and over-indebted landlords are finding themselves in the same boat
"The taskforce recognises that our High Streets are going through a structural recalibration, rather than an economic cycle from which we will emerge over time," he said.
And tough choices, he says, will have to be made:
"We have too many shops, the wrong size and under-invested. So the change in town centres that is required is significant and will require public and private sectors coming together to find ways of financing these changes.
"What we're talking about are essentially infrastructure projects that can future-proof our towns for the next 50 to 60 years," he said.
Last week, the governor of the Bank of England, Sir Mervyn King, made clear that the issue of over-indebted businesses is exercising his mind of too:
"I am not sure that advanced economies in general will find it easy to get out of their current predicament without creditors acknowledging further likely losses, a significant writing down of asset values and recapitalisation of their financial systems."
The problem for the banks is that turning off the life support machine on distressed property could cause too many losses for their balance sheets to bear.
The taskforce has the challenge of trying to come up with a workable, long-term solution.

Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen posted the fastest time of 1.21.195s in testing today at the Circuit De Catalunya near Barcelona in Spain, proving that Ferrari Technical Director Mario Almondo is not to be trifled with even if he does look grey, boring and slightly friendless.
Well actually that's not strictly the truth, Ralf Schumacher actually set the fastest time of the day of 1:20.479s. But unfortunately skipping the odd chicane here and there does not go down well with your pitlane rivals, unless your name is Takuma Sato, in which case skipping the odd chicane is probably safer for all concerned.
Talking of which, the diminutive Japanese star of Super Aguri finished the timesheets for the day surprisingly in second place which must be a bitter blow to McLaren, Honda, Toyota, Williams, BMW-Sauber, Renault, Spyker and just about everyone else who assumed they were closely following behind the Ferrari. Apparently Super Aguri were testing new aerodynamic and gearbox upgrades…and one has to wonder at this pace, if in fact we will all be eating our Ferrari caps in astonishment when they win a race (mind you at that price can we afford to?). Or was it that old age F1 chestnut where everyone was 'sandbagging?'.
McLaren were the talking point of the day and not only for having a slightly silly looking new front wing. No doubt half the field will be rushing back to their hotels tonight to try and replicate the new McLaren wing on their simulation programmes (what an exciting life they lead) only for it to probably be banned next week by the FIA.
The absence of McLaren's two drivers Fernando 'I'm the World Champion Here' Alonso and Lewis 'ITV Love Child' Hamilton, was also notable. If rumours are correct, Lewis is back home in Stevenage playing with his Lego, Action Man and practicing his starts on his Playstation, while his Double World Champion team-mate is off assasinating any media hack within a thousand miles that brings up the subject of his slightly-toothy-ever-so-nice-humble-as-pie-must-win-a-race-soon Lordship.
Duty then for McLaren fell to Pedro Of The Rose, who completed 101 laps finishing 0.712 seconds off the pace. According to McLaren, Alonso will take over testing tomorrow, that's if he can take time off from sticking pins in his new voodoo doll 'Louie' and throwing 'Nobody loves me' tantrums.
Ralf Schumacher managed to rack up a credible fourth place for the day, ahead of BMW-Saubers Quick Nick Heidfeld…no doubt the fear of losing his seat to a wookie has spurred the German 'Other Schumacher' into action. Apparently the Toyota has undergone some dramatic aerodynamic and bodywork modifications…no sign yet of more red paint or any Marlboro stickers…so ex Ferrari employees can breathe a sigh of relief tonight. And I'm left wondering why if Ralf is in the top 3 drivers, did he only get fourth spot? I may have only miraculously got a 'C' grade in Maths…..but…..
BMW-Sauber have also come to Barcelona with upgrades to their car, which team Boss Mario Theissen (and he is a Mario with that moustache) believes will bring the team much closer to the front runners Ferrari and McLaren. After the excitement of driving on the 'Nordschleife' at the Nurburgring, poor Nick Heidfeld was brought back down to earth with a bump and had to put in a days testing several new car components instead of thrashing it hell for leather and having his beard whipping round his ears.
Rubens Barrichello showed a slight improvement in form for Honda, finishing in sixth place albeit 1.46 seconds off the pace of Ferrari's Flying Finn. However, it is too early to say whether this is because Honda have actually managed to finally get to grips with their 'Earth Nightmare' or because no-one else was really trying all that hard.
Nelson Piquet Junior was seventh for Renault, however the previous World Champions do not appear to have made any major aerodynamic upgrades to their car despite trailing Ferrari, McLaren and BMW-Sauber. Apparently well placed insider's commenting that we should not expect anything different from previous races, which means Kovaleinen inspecting the grass verges as often as a school caretaker and Fisichella teaching us all slightly naughty words we didn't know before courtesy of his team radio.
Vitantonio Liuzzi managed eighth place on the timesheets for Scuderia Torro Rosso, and had a very quiet day, surprising everyone with the fact he didn't once bring out the safety car. Suffice to say the shock of it all has meant Team Boss Gerhard Berger has had to go lie down in a dark room to recover.
David Coulthard, F1's resident Mr.Magoo secured ninth spot in his almost identical but different paint job car, the Red Bull….luckily Williams driver Alex Wurz was nowhere in sight and Toyota's engineers kept hidden safely in the garage, so there was no need for former 7 times World Champion Michael Schumacher to pop up and start preaching road safety….just yet.
Spyker test driver Adrian Valles returned to action, and nicely parked the orange monstrosity into the barriers at turn 5…our only gripe he didn't make a better 'write off' of it…what a disappointment after Christian Albers. Van Der Garde was also testing for Spyker, but two seconds off the time of the pacesetter…which goes to show if you spend too much time bickering like children over a pack of smarties your never going to build a better car.
Testing resumes at Barcelona tomorrow weather permitting, where we will see if Kimi Raikkonen can stay awake for two days in a row, if Alonso can manage to keep his car away from dangerous falling lighting pods and if Chewbacca's beard is any longer than today. Gripping.

I've Tried Time & Again To Get rid of Our Property In Jacksonville – No Offers… What Can We Do?
No one said it would be this tough to sell this property in Jacksonville , Florida .
If you listen to the economists, realtors, radio personalities, or the chairman of the fed all you hear is how pleased they are with the condition of the Jacksonville housing market… so why can't sell my Property? The media is virtually shouting again about multiple offers, high demand, and record-setting prices.
So where's your offer?
These hints could be just what you need to help you get rid of your Jacksonville Home.
Need To Sell Your Jacksonville Home Quickly- Six Ideas To Get An Offer & Get Your Jacksonville Home Sold
1) Find proficient help.
Everyone wants to become a real estate agent when the market is booming, they think "easy money" so they tell everyone " I am an expert… I'm a professional" knowing damn well they're as green as can be. Just be careful because they will confidnently scream at the top of their lungs… " I know everything!"
The reality is that they do not. A "new speculator" in real estate can be compared to the proverbial bull in the china shop. It is just so challenging for them to not wreck everything…. the intricacies of financing, evaluation, and deal structure. If you're even remotely like 99.99999% of the people on the planet, selling a house is the most expensive endeavor they've ever taken on… don't trust it to a random persons advice. If you want to get rid of your Jacksonville House, work with professionals.
2) Don't Price Yourself Out Of The Market By Over-Improving
One of the most commone issues we see when a house can't sell- is that the owners have gone overboard with the imporvements. Even with the best of intentions, exceptional craftsmanship and true artistic talent, it's incredibly challenging to exceed what the market is paying. Remember anytime someone buys a "used" house they'll want to add their own touches, flavor, style, and flair so if you do a lot of "permanent", expensive, new renovations you'll limit who may be interested in buying your [ccity home. I don't care how rich they are everyone atleast cringes at the throught of ripping out something new. Think neutral and de-clutter.
3) Fix everything that needs to be fixed.
Leaving things that you know need to be addressed unfixed scares buyers. Show that you have been a responsible property owner and get all the little details fixed.
Think about how easy it is to fix gaps behind trim and light switches, now imagine how that makes you look if you haven't addressed them. Have a verifiable Property report done by a professional home inspector. This goes a long way towards establishing confidence that they are making a good purchase.
4) Style and design matters.
If the houses exterior does not pique their interest, you have no hope of selling your house. Buyers should get a sense of your style and theme. Make it cohesive don't let it be carelessly put together. Update the landscaping, paint the walls, and most importantly keep it clean. The decor matters, consider working with a professional stager to ensure your interior is cohesive, tasteful, and paints a picture on how the buyers should use the different spaces.
5) Pricing.
The more of a deal you can give to possible buyers the likelihood that you'll receive serious offers will skyrocket. If you can not get rid of your Jacksonville property no matter what you do, your house is too expensive .
6) If you can't afford to lower the price… give it time and as long as you're not over market-price it'll sell.
There's no substitute for experience, no magic bullet, no magic words.

More Info... by email
A pediatric neuropsychologist is a licensed professional who helps children and adolescents overcome behavioral problems, developmental disorders, and emotional issues. A professional conducts clinical evaluations of young patients by reviewing their medical histories and assessing their behaviors and responses to diagnostic questionnaires. The results obtained from evaluations are used to determine if children can benefit from medication or follow-up counseling. Pediatric neuropsychologists work in many settings, including children's hospitals, rehabilitation centers, mental health clinics, and private practices.
The practice of neuropsychology is unique in that it combines principles of traditional cognitive and behavioral psychology with empirical medical knowledge of the brain. Most neuropsychologists are qualified to interpret computerized tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) brain scans to identify areas of possible damage from injuries or cognitive deficits. CT and MRI results help them pinpoint the underlying causes of various disorders, including speech difficulties, autism, and different degrees and types of mental retardation.
A pediatric neuropsychologist also relies on his or her knowledge of brain development to conduct evaluations and interpret imaging results. The brain of a young child is considerably different than an adult's brain, in size, shape, and makeup. A pediatric neuropsychologist understands how a developing brain makes new electric and chemical connections and how different disorders may affect the process.
When meeting with a new patient, a pediatric neuropsychologist usually conducts a series of diagnostic tests that may include reading and puzzle-solving exercises to gauge his or her cognitive abilities. The professional may interview the child and his or her parents to learn more about symptoms, and compare findings with information from medical records. Depending on the type and scope of problems a child faces, the neuropsychologist can prescribe medications, schedule psychotherapy sessions, or suggest different home and school arrangements. Some neuropsychologists offer counseling services themselves, but most choose to refer patients to other professionals.
A person who wants to become a pediatric neuropsychologist usually needs to obtain either a Ph.D. in psychology or a doctor of medicine degree, participate in a clinical internship, and pass a licensing exam. Extensive education and training are necessary to ensure that an individual is fully prepared to handle the responsibilities of the position. New professionals are typically required to practice under the supervision of experienced neuropsychologists for up to two years before they can begin working independently. With experience in the field, a respected pediatric neuropsychologist may be able to become a senior consultant at a hospital or even open his or her own practice.
