Help to Buy
Due to the challenging economic climate and stricter mortgage lending criteria, the government has created the Help to Buy schemes to help people into home ownership.
There are three schemes currently available:
Help to Buy ISA – Individual Savings Accounts for first time buyers. For every £200 saved into the ISA, the government will boost it by £50 (up to a maximum of £3000).
Help to Buy Shared Ownership – where you can't afford the mortgage on 100% of a home, this scheme gives you the chance to buy a share of between 25% and 75% of the home's value. You then pay rent on the remaining share.
Help to Buy Equity Loan – for those buying brand new homes in England. The government will lend you up to 20% of the cost of your newly built home so you will only need a 5% cash deposit and a 75% mortgage to make up the rest. You won't be charged fees on the 20% loan for the first five years of owning your home. There are different rules for this scheme in Wales.
Our talented team of mortgage advisers at George Square can talk you through your Help to Buy options and then take care of the necessary administration for you to help you secure your home.
If you would like to discuss any of the schemes in more detail, call George Square Financial Management for a free consultation with one of our independent mortgage advisers: 0115 947 5545 or contact us online here.
Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage. Equity release may be arranged as a lifetime mortgage or a home reversion plan. To understand the features and risks ask for a personalised illustration.

Eating Disorder Outpatient Treatment
The first step in deciding on care for a child or adolescent is getting a thorough assessment, establishing a diagnosis and making a treatment recommendation. From the first assessment through all levels of treatment at Kartini Clinic parents are informed and involved. This is consistent with our conviction that parents do not cause eating disorders and, in fact, are essential treatment team members. With the assistance of our pediatric nurse, one of our Board certified pediatricians will do a complete physical, family interview and eating disorder assessment for your child. Their conclusions and recommendations will be shared with you and with any providers you specify.
Once you and your child or adolescent have completed the program here, our doctors will see your child as an outpatient for a brief transition period while we work to identify your outpatient team. Coordinated outpatient care is an essential part of maintaining physical and psychological remission of eating disorder symptoms. Our expert, multi-disciplinary team of eating disorder providers will strive to work with your primary care physician and/or other treatment providers to ensure adequate long-term care for you or your child.
If you are looking for eating disorder help or would like more information about any of our eating disorder programs, please call us at 971-319-6800 and speak to our intake coordinator. You may also submit an online request below. We answer all requests promptly.

General Question
How can I stop the vibration or sound proof my bass/drums/other instruments in my basement without spending a ton of money?
Asked by evolverevolve (520) May 25th, 2009
I have a jam room in my basement in the house I bought, however there is no insulation, the music can be heard throughout the house. I have bass/guitar/drums/other instruments. Any suggestions on how to muffle the sounds without having to spend a ton of money? I am working on a couple of ideas, not sure if they are going to work, so I'd be pleased with any suggestions.

Power of the Subconscious MindJanuary 23rd, 2007 Posted in Uncategorized
So I was in the airport recently in Los Angeles and I picked up the book "Blink" by New York based author Malcolm Gladwell. I love to read in general and especially on planes. A few years ago I read his previous best seller "The Tipping Point" and it was a life changing experience. I could not put "Blink" down and by the time I had arrived in Dallas I almost had it finished.
Malcolm is a genius at observing the little things that lead to big things in this world and I highly recomend this book. After I finished it I gave it to my friend Lauren who was flying to London so she could read it on the plane. The first thing she told me when she got back was how much she loved the book as well.
We are living in a time quantum physicist call the "quickening" Information is readily available in an instant and there is so much of it we are walking around in a data smog.
Information is no longer powerful, there is too much of it!
And as for knowledge I would say the same principle applies. What is truly powerful in the world we live in now is clarity.
Decisions must be made in an instant and made with precision. Because opportunities disappear in a nano-second if you are not awake enough to seize them. I have a friend that I am teaching to play the guitar that shared with me a wonderful 4 step process to learning that was taught to him by his Defensive Driving Coach several years ago. It goes like this:
The 4 Phases of Learning:
1. Consciously incompetent- you understand that you have no skills or experience.
2. Unconsciously incompetent- you don't understand that you have no skills and little experience (the 16 year old driver)
3. Consciously competent- you know that you have solid skills and experience, but still lack confidence and have to think to perform.
4. Unconsciously Competent- you have polished skills and enough experience to not have to think to perform.
I grew up playing baseball and I always have loved the great catcher Yogi Berra. I lived in Houston as a kid and he was a coach for the Houston Astros. I attended a baseball clinic for youths put on by Yogi and he said it best:
"You can't think it and hit at the same time!"
This hall of fame guy is known for his way with words and there has never been a time that this is more true. So whether you are playing baseball, playing music or wanting to talk to that attractive person across the room. Go for it and just do it, you will learn something very valuable. You will learn to trust that "gut instinct" and be like a laser beam.
I am looking forward to the Superbowl this year. If anyone understands this phenomena very well it is a quarterback in the NFL. You know the average quarterback has at most seven seconds to release the ball or else. Peyton Manning is one of the best at this and this will be a great example to watch. I am picking Indianapolis to win.
All the best!

Note to self: Living in the primal brain
I suppose that the title of this blog is somewhat redundant, because isn't that what a blog is, by definition?
Yesterday I blogged about how bad I felt after a day of high-fat/low-water content food. I literally felt like crap. It's amazing what you can do to yourself even when the only thing in your carry on bag is either made out of flax or almond. It's scary to think of what I might have gotten up to if I'd actually had junk food in there! Or had helped myself even once to the stadium box of glutenous, sugar filled, processed crap that the airlines attendants – good intentions aside – were peddling (or rather, pushing).
But I digress.
My point is that this morning, I woke up feeling amazing!
Yesterday, I reverted back to my old eating and exercise habits – well, actually with a little dose of circumspection thrown in for good measure.
So, even though there may be a couple of extra pounds for a while, it was good to know that I can get back to go – at least in terms of how I feel – with just a little direction, dedication, and – of course – resources. Because goodness knows I like to tell myself that binge wouldn't have happened if I'd had access to veggies!
(And I'm going to keep telling myself that, for the time being, but there will be more to come on this topic in future posts!)
While most people might read this and think, "Duh!", I realized that when I fall off the wagon – so to speak – I automatically assume that I'm off the wagon forever. That if I had one bad food day – that's it! I'll never be able to eat healthy food again. If I eat cooked food, I'll never want anything raw again. If I gain 1 pound, I'll never lose it again! Not only will I never lose it again – 100 of it's closest friends are going to move back in as well!
I'm sure that this comes as no surprise to anyone who has ever spent anytime around me after a bad food day – it certainly won't to my sister! – but it was quite the epiphany to me.
I went to a marketing seminar this weekend and the presenter said that when people are in pain, they lose their ability to think rationally in terms of consequences or cause and effect. That they revert immediately to their "primal brain" – the one that is concerned only with survival. They essentially lose the ability to think, which is why some of the best marketing strikes at emotion, as opposed to cognition.
So, I realize – after close to 24 years – that when it comes to me and my weight issues, I go immediately to the primal brain.
So I learned what happens.
And I also learned why it happens.
Unfortunately, I missed the how – that is, how the heck do I stop going there every single time?!
Well, for now I guess it's enough to know – at least in my human brain – that it does happen and that I can pull myself out the tail spin at any time.
As I work on figuring out the how – including what I can do to put these strategies into place right now, I'll be sure to share. Just on the off chance anyone else reverts as quickly as I do. And, as always, any suggestions that you might have will be welcomed with open arms!

Ravens (+6) at Steelers: In one of the more brutal rivalries, this one should have some extra spice. Not only is this for the right to represent the AFC in the Super Bowl but the Ravens are still seething over the 13-9 loss to the Steelers at home last month. Trailing 9-6, the Steelers embarked on a 12 play, 92 yard drive, culminating in a Ben Roethlisberger 4-yard touchdown pass to Santonio Holmes with 43 seconds to play. However, the play was initially ruled down inside the one yard line but was reversed and called a TD when the replay officials took a gander. Since that game you know the Ravens defense was hoping for another opportunity at their hated rivals.
In the end, I believe the Ravens will not have enough to pull this one off. Since they had an unscheduled bye in week 2 of the regular season, Baltimore will be playing in its 18th consecutive week this Sunday. It looked as though the grind had taken its toll last week against Tennessee when the Titans moved the ball effectively while the Ravens missed some easy tackles. The Ravens were able to win in large part because Tennessee turned the ball over three times in Baltimore territory. They shouldn't rely on the Steelers making the same mistakes.
I say the Steelers will emerge victorious 17-10.
Eagles (-3.5) at Cardinals: When the Eagles hosted the Cards on Thanksgiving night, they were entering the game having endured a highly tumultuous week. But with his team limping along at 5-5-1 and having been benched the previous Sunday, QB Donovan McNabb responded by torching the Cardinals for four touchdown passes in a 48-20 Eagles rout. In this his tenth season as a pro, McNabb will be making his fifth start in an NFC title game.
Cardinals quarterback Kurt Warner is no stranger to big games, having been to two Super Bowls and wining one. After a lackluster finish to the regular season, Warner has responded with two solid games this postseason. It also hasn't hurt that the Cards running game has been rediscovered. Even though they've only averaged 3.3 yards per carry the past two games, Arizona has shown a commitment to sustaining a running attack. When was the last time the Cards ran the ball more than they threw it over a two-game stretch (71 rushes, 64 passes this postseason)?
I look for McNabb to continue his resurgence as well as the blitz happy Eagles defense to force Warner into some bad throws (he was picked off three times in the week 13 matchup).
Eagles win 27-17.
Playoff record:
Straight up: 3-5-0

Real Estate Agent
Jerry Newman
Texas REALTOR, San Antonio Military Relocation
San Antonio, TX
Brown Realty, 210-789-4216,www.JeremiahNewman.com
Independent Brokerage
ATTN: Jerry Newman
1802 NE Loop 410 Ste 2
San Antonio , TX 78217
Professional Real Estate consultant serving Greater San Antonio, Helotes, Boerne, Schertz, Cibolo, Universal City, Converse, Live Oak, Kirby and the surrounding areas. Military Re-locations.
Get to know Jerry Newman
I served our country in the US Army for 22 years including the Vietnam war. Having personally experienced the effects of stressful moving and relocating on my own family, I understand first-hand what military families need and want for their move. Being a San Antonio native, I am very familiar with all the different bases in our city. San Antonio has always been referred to as "Military City USA" because of the strong military presence at Fort Sam Houston, TX, Lackland Air Force Base, Randolph Air Force Base, Medina Air Force Base, and Brooks City Air Force Base. Due to the Base Realignment and Closure(BRAC), San Antonio's Fort Sam Houston has changed it's name to Joint Base San Antonio, and is now under Air Force Control.
I grew up on the Eastside of the city, and attended local schools all the way through college. The Army trained me to be a Medical Lab Technologist. After retiring from the US Army in 1990, I took a position at Lab Corp of America in San Antonio. During my eleven years with Lab Corp, I worked my way up to the position on Night Operations Lab Manager. In 2002, I became a licensed Real Estate professional and made the career change to real estate working under the brokerage of Keller Williams Realty, IH-10 West. I made the change to Green Home Realty in April 2013. In May 2015, I switched brokerages to Brown Realty.
My desire is to earn your business and respect, and become your REALTOR of Choice in the San Antonio market and surrounding areas.
I take a personal approach by listening to create a personal plan for you and your family, and I listen to those involved in the transaction for professional, positive results.
I believe in a Win-Win situation for everyone. I utilize the latest technologies, market research and business strategies to meet or exceed all your expectations.
Formal Education
• Bachelor of Arts - St Mary's University San Antonio, TX
• Masters Degree in Management - Webster University, St Louis,MO
Professional Background
I am a member of the National Association of REALTORS®, Texas Association of REALTORS®, and the San Antonio Board of REALTORS®. I have been a licensed Texas REALTOR® since March 2002.
As a real estate professional, I seek to learn and know as much as possible about how best to serve my clients. Therefore, I have taken the time to obtain the coveted ABR® designation. The Accredited Buyer's Representatives(ABR®) stand for the benchmark of excellence in buyer representation. You know that you can count on me to provide buyer expertise and outstanding customer service.
Business Philosophy
I have a high level of personal integrity instilled in me by my family and the military: God, Family, Business, in that order. I believe in Win-Win or No Deal, integrity, honesty, loyalty, and commitments.
I enjoy bowling, fishing, golfing, listening to music, and watching my favorite sports teams on TV.

As a veteran myself, I have always promoted all veteran programs available for the men and women who have so proudly served our country with their many sacrifices. San Antonio has always been Tagged "Military City, USA", and it's a great place for veterans, who are planning to re-locate or retire.
Testimonials for Jerry Newman
Kate Kimes, M.D. US Army06/28/2015
Jerry helped us buy our first home, which we love! We were moving from Phoenix after receiving orders to be stationed in San Antonio. Jerry gave us valuable information about the area and sent us daily updates on the listings that fit our desires. He made himself available when my husband visited for a weekend- he arranged for them to see several of our favorite houses and even took my husband to the airport! He went above and beyond by doing a "video walk thru" of our house since we weren't able to come see it. He made putting in an offer and working thru the closing process easy and helped keep us on time for deadlines. We certainly trust him and would recommend him to anyone, especially military families PCSing to the area!

Lovie Moilimo09/15/2013
After talking with Jerry I decided that I preferred for him to be my agent. We met at his office where he explained his responsibilities to me as my real estate agent, orientated me on the process of home buying and presented me with a book to read to help me be well prepared and informed of the terms, as well as the steps involved in the purchasing of a home, which was very helpful. Also so that we could discuss my wants and desires of my home, at which time I gave him a list that I had prepared of the amenities that I desired in my new home. I have been in my home 6 months and I can truthfully say that Mr. Newman is a agent of his word. I can and do communicate with him to make inquiries and he will respond. Thank you Jerry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
John and Marina Pres09/15/2013
John and I would like to thank you for all your help and assistance throughout this home process. Your help made our dreams come true! You have done an excellent job and we will absolutely recommend you to our family and friends in the future.
Ben and Christina Wallis09/15/2003
As first time home buyers, we really appreciated Mr. Newman's patience, understanding and willingness to show us any home until we found the right one. Thanks to his help we were able to find and move into our dream home without any complications.
Alane G Alvarez09/05/2003
"I am writing to let you know about my very positive experience with Mr. Newman as my real estate agent. Mr. Newman was an enthusiastic, knowledgeable professional who made the ordeal of finding a "dream home" and making it my own, a reality. As a first time home buyer, I had a number of questions about the buying process, but Jerry was always understanding and patient and if he didn't have the answer to a question, he found it in a timely manner. I especially appreciated the fact that he made himself available to me 24 hours a day, 7 days a week through e-mail and the telephone. I have enjoyed living in my own home for 2 months. I am grateful for having had Mr. Newman as my agent, and I have recommended him to several friends who are considering buying a home as well."

I don't want to be organized. If I wanted to be organized, I would be. I want to WANT to be organized. In order to follow through with something you really need to find that motivation and put in the energy required to meet your goals. Goals, which by the way are set pretty high in today's society with all the lovely Pinterest pictures and magazines showing off an immaculate mid-century modern designed living space, two dogs on the couch and not a hair in sight. I mean. . .come on. . .you'll get a complex if you constantly compare yourself to this idyllic standard. After mentally adding a thin layer of dust on that cabinet in the corner, a stack of yesterday's mail on the dining room table, some dishes in the sink and a few pet hair tumble weeds creeping out from under the couch, I feel a little better about myself. (Quick note to those of you who keep an immaculate mid-century modern designed living space with two dogs on the couch and not a hair in sight, good on you! I mean no offense, I'm just jealous)
Although I feel that there are a lot of high-set bars on Pinterest, it is also where I discovered the world of "cheats" or "hacks". An encyclopedia of fairly simple tricks or gadgets that make that organizational mountain seem a little less challenging. I only have personal experience with a few, and those I will definitely share. I'll also include a few on my list of "want to try". But I would encourage anyone who struggles with similar "motivational" deficiencies to check it out. Just type in "organizational hacks" to the search bar in Pinterest and whoa. . .hold on to your pants. Ideas a-plenty.
Space-savers rank pretty high on my list of must-haves. Flat surface = sanity. So if I can find ways to keep stuff off my flat surfaces, I'm a much happier individual. One of the areas I was having a hard time with this was in the shower. I'm definitely better than I used to be, but I swear hair products reproduce on their own. You remember the movie Gremlins. . .? Yup, like that. I tried a couple of the caddies that hang from the shower head, but whoever designed my shower put a soap dish right there. Eventually, I discovered this wonderful caddy that hangs from the curtain rod. Notice how it holds the conditioner upside down? Genius! I'm not going to go as far as to say it's changed my life, but it's pretty awesome. Originally seen on thehackster.com
Another thing that really irks me is Tupperware lids. Again. . .like Gremlins. And you can never find the one you need. Now, they sell lid organizers online, but I'll let you in on a little secret. You can probably find something that will work just fine in the kitchen section at the Goodwill, or other thrift shop. I'm pretty sure I'm using a CD rack (do you remember those? CDs?) to hold all my Tupperware lids. Thrift stores are a very valuable resource in finding cheap solutions to your organizational dilemmas.
Here are a couple more of the ideas that are at the top of my list.
Under cabinet storage. I don't know about you, but the space under my cabinets is quite a mess. Cleaners, rags, scrubbies, spray bottles, etc. and they all have to find homes around the plumbing, hoses and our RO water tank. This looks like a very usable (and affordable) solution. It also creates more space as you now have two layers – taller bottles and such on the bottom and smaller cleaning tools in the baskets up top. It looks like they used a couple extension rods and simply adjusted them to hold the baskets. See the full project at dreamingindiy.com.
Wrap, foil and paper storage. Right now, all of these things live in a drawer in my kitchen. And who hasn't experienced the frustration of trying to open a drawer only to find something inside saying "nope". Then you have to wriggle your hand in there and try to hold the flap down. Annoying. This solution utilizes what would normally be unusable space by sticking a magazine rack (found in the office supply section or possibly lying around your house) to the inside of a cabinet door. Simple simple. Check out this simple trick and a number of others at goodhousekeeping.com.
Another great idea for utilizing under cabinet space. This looks like a couple curtain rod brackets with a dowel across them. Easy access and out of the way.
You can find this and other "hacks" for small space living at ideastand.com. This site also has a bunch of ideas for saving space in other rooms of the house as well. Highly recommended.
Sometimes you'll find one of these tricks that just doesn't work with what you've got going on. But other times, they work out and you'll wonder how you ever got along without them. Let's hear about the hacks that you've tried or want to try. Things that have changed your life, or maybe less dramatically, just made it easier/better/less cluttered. We can all use a little of this in our lives.

Supplier tapping into new markets as U.S. gradually reduces forces in Middle East
FALL RIVER — The peace dividend is a peace pinch for some people.
Duro Textiles, 110 Chace St., is among that group.
When the country announced plans to withdraw troops from Afghanistan, Duro saw it as a call to action, said Peter Ricci, executive vice president of manufacturing.
"Duro is a large supplier to the U.S. military," he said. "We could all see what was going to happen. If the military shrinks, demand for uniforms will drop. That will directly affect us."
So the scramble began then, the day after President Barack Obama announced his plan to pull troops from Afghanistan.
On Thursday, Duro turned a corner. It shipped out a large container of rip-stop camouflage cloth, designed and built for use in the deserts of Saudi Arabia. It was proof that Duro's decision to branch out can keep the company alive, Ricci said.
"This first portion will be shipped to China to be made into hats and caps," Ricci said. "The bulk of the order will be shipped to a U.S. cut-and-sew factory down south. They will cut the cloth and ship it to Saudi Arabia for sewing.
"We knew we had to be active pursuing other markets around the world if we wanted to survive. That means, among other things, that we have to develop a better product, one that can beat a product from China."
In the United States, the military services wear uniforms that are made, from yarn to finish, in the United States. That gave Duro, which dyes and prints fabrics, an edge over competition from overseas.
When the company began approaching the armies and navies of other countries, they entered a different game. They were competing with the countries without environmental regulations, where workers are paid dollars a day.
Duro had one edge, Ricci said.
"The U.S. military is the envy of the world," he said. "The U.S. has the best uniforms, the best weapons. We were speaking with people from countries that have sourced fabric from China or Bangladesh. They are not happy with the quality, the durability or the shading."
Enter Duro, with the seal of approval from the Pentagon and a work force from Fall River — workers who have spent their lives in the textile trade.
"There is an art to fabrics," Ricci said. "You don't just push a button and get a product. You have to know what you are doing. Our people do. We have the advantage of quick turnaround and smaller lot size. We also have better quality control.
"With increased efficiencies here in the United States, and with the increased energy costs and transportation costs in Asia, the price differential is narrowing."
Besides military cloth, Duro is also making cloth for military units in Australia, Colombia and the United Arab Emirates, among others. The company is also printing cloth for outdoor furniture, making quilting fabric for craft stores and printing reusable grocery bags, including all of those used by Trader Joe's.
"We got the message from Washington," Ricci said. "With the sequesters and the cutbacks, we knew we had to get more aggressive with our marketing.
"Duro has been part of Fall River for a long time. The city has been hurt by industry going off shore. We are doing everything we can to keep this work here in Fall River, to keeping our people employed."
On Thursday, when the first load of Saudi cloth shipped out, it felt like a victory, Ricci added.
"We can develop a better product," he said. "We can beat China."

Quest for Arete (Are-a-tay) is a collectible card game of magic and duels for players age 12 and up. In the game, each player is a sorcerer's apprentice charged by their master to make their way in the world seeking to increase their Arete – or excellence.
The back-story of the game sets it in medieval times when magicians and sorcerers were well trained in the undiscovered properties of the elements.
As an apprentice, you must duel any other sorcerer you meet using magical elements (represented by the cards) that combined make potions and spells. Each duel, won or lost, increases your experience and understanding of the elements and therefore, increases your Arete.
Players can choose from a variety of characters whose strengths with different elements vary depending on which school or "House" they trained with. Collect rare, powerful cards to custom build decks that complement your unique style of play. Can you master the elements and achieve the highest level of Arete? Your quest begins soon….

If I am showing homes to a buyer and have plenty of notice—this is usually with out-of-town home buyers—I preview the homes I haven't already seen. This has saved me from many embarrassing situations.
Working with buyers entails knowing the area and having an idea of what the house is about, but more importantly, you discover all the quirks about getting into the home, surprise dogs, surprise odors, surprise messes, and so forth.
At times I have gotten busy and didn't preview and invariably there were surprises—wrong showing instructions being one, alarms not noted in the listing info being another—one time it was four Great Danes in the master bedroom. I thought the buyer was going to have a heart attack.
Stumbling on these surprises with the home buyer is not a good idea, because it causes the buyer to start having doubts. When you preview and take notes and you inform the buyer ahead of time of what to expect, it makes you look prepared, which you should be.
It takes time but a quick run through the route and getting a good idea of what to expect is a smart practice.
Home buyers love good information and it's the buyer agent's responsibility to know the product and the area. Sometimes you might be showing in an area you are only partially familiar with and driving around looking for property makes you appear incompetent.
If you don't know the roads well, it can be confusing driving to a property cold and unprepared, so previewing is also good for knowing the best route and knowing what's around the property in case the buyer has questions—like "what is that huge pile of junk at the end of the street?"—or "Is that a chemical plant across the street?"
You get the point. Like a good scout, be prepared!

Bruce Campbell is one of the main reasons people tune-in to Burn Notice every week, and with just cause. The actor's portrayal of Sam Axe, the beer swilling, womanizing ex-Navy Seal with a heart of gold is always fun to watch and has been a pleasant addition to Campbell's already iconic status as a B-movie action star.
That's why Burn Notice fans (like me) were so excited when Matt Nix announced the development of Burn Notice: The Fall of Sam Axe, a special prequel TV movie focusing on Sam's last mission as a military officer. As Bruce Campbell said himself in our recent interview, Burn Notice: The Fall of Sam Axe would offer Burn Notice fans something that was slightly different than usual, but still "familiar and fun."
Of course, there's such a thing as too familiar. In many respects, Burn Notice: The Fall of Sam Axe plays like a 90-minute episode of Burn Notice, only with Bruce Campbell's wry narration instead of Jeffrey Donovan's. While the formula makes for a likable enough TV movie, it feels like a bit of a missed opportunity. Still, Bruce Campbell does get to play with a chainsaw again, and that's always fun.
Burn Notice: The Fall of Sam Axe opens on Sam in his dress whites facing a formal investigation into a botched anti-terrorist operation in the Colombian jungle. Set in 2005, the movie presents us with a Sam that is somewhat different than usual (in that he answers "Yes sir" and "No sir"). For the most part though, it's the same old Sam. Even when speaking with a commanding officer, Sam makes wisecracks, eyes the pretty stenographer, and asks for a cold beer. I somehow doubt a real military hearing would be quite so colorful, but that's the beauty of Burn Notice.
Through a series of flashbacks, Sam explains what went wrong on his last mission. How Sam ended up on the mission in the first place is another story altogether, but one that is perfectly in keeping with the character. Anyway, without spoiling too much of the story, here's the basic plot set up. Sam goes to Colombia for a joint operation with a Colombian military outfit to observe and report on a possible terrorist organization. While there, Sam meets a doctor and a foreign aid worker (the latter played by Lost's Kiele Sanchez) who are working at a clinic that might be the target of an attack.
Of course, after a bit of snooping around, Sam learns that there is more to the Colombian soldiers than he was led to believe, and the terrorist organization is anything but dangerous. Honoring Sam's inherent nobility, which is one of the things that makes the character more than just a B-movie stereotype, the film chronicles Sam's decision to defy military order to protect those in need. Along the way, some people die, lots of stuff blows up, and Sam hits on Kiele Sanchez.
As in every episode of Burn Notice, the clinic workers (whom we could easily call "The Clients") are indifferent to Sam's help until they have no choice in the matter. Also, like in regular Burn Notice episodes, The Fall of Sam Axe features lots of improvised escapes and fun build-a-bomb-out-of-nothing scenes. Despite the sameness of the action, however, there are numerous redeeming moments in the film.
For one thing, Matt Nix has done a great job - giving Sam plenty of zingers throughout the movie. For those of us only accustomed to hearing Sam five or six times an episode, it's nice to see that the character is still consistently funny over the course of a 90-minute film. Likewise, it's great to see Bruce Campbell back in action as a lead. The actor's status as a B-movie idol is something that I suspect he both enjoys and loathes. Still, it's built him a terrifically loyal fanbase, and I suspect that they will be happy with what they see in The Fall of Sam Axe.
Truthfully, I wasn't blown away by Burn Notice: The Fall of Sam Axe, but I did enjoy the movie for what it was worth. (I should also note that I watched and reviewed a rough cut of the film, which likely detracted from the film's overall quality. ) Should Matt Nix and the team decide to pursue any additional Burn Notice prequel movies, I suggest they think a little bit more outside of the box, so as to bring something new to the characters. All in all though, Burn Notice: The Fall of Sam Axe is a serviceable addition to the franchise, and a great reminder of why we all love Bruce Campbell.

A woman from San Francisco has been talking about her Google Glass nightmare online and to local police, after customers in a bar became aggressive, started shouting, ripped off her Glass and ran out, stealing her remaining possessions while she was distracted.
Sarah Slocum posted the details of the attack on Facebook, saying: "I got verbally and physically assaulted and robbed last night in the city, had things thrown at me because of some wanker Google Glass haters, then some *bleeeeeeeeeep* tore them off my face and ran out with them then and when I ran out after him his *bleeeeeeep* friends stole my purse, cellphone wallet and everything."
She also has video evidence, as, in a later Facebook post, she explained that: "I decided that I should start filming this extremely strange, hostile and threatening behaviour," although the raw clip she uploaded has since been pulled from YouTube. And therefore re-upped by many others.
Long-term readers will remember the similar case of Steve Mann, the augmented tech pioneer who captured images of men abusing him in McDonalds for wearing his bespoke visual system. The obvious downside for attackers is the risk of being caught in the act, as long as the sensors are actually recording at the time. [The Register]

Mrs Meeker and her husband Robert Meeker worked on a system used in education. She is known for applying Guilford's Structure of Intellect theory ("SI") to creating assessments and curriculum materials for use in teaching children and adults. The premise of SI is that intelligence comprises many underlying mental abilities or factors, organized along three dimensions—Operations (e.g., comprehension), Content (e.g., semantic), and Products (e.g., relations). When you are interested, read the article.
The article compared her work to the debunked Myers Briggs Type Indicator. This is something we should not do. The article on Mrs Laurie Helgoe provides all the arguments needed to restrict information on that indicator to that article. It is not best practice to use tools that are ambiguous in its results and therefore using it in comparison is not in the interest of our readers.

We're due frosts this week. Not that they ever really hit my sheltered little corner of back green … but, 'gather ye rosebuds while ye may', says the poem.
So I gathered the rosebuds. I also gathered the dahlias, the salvias, and the sweetpeas. Yes, I did say sweetpeas, which are still merrily producing long-stemmed blooms.
It was all starting to look a bit too summery for this time of year, so some yellowing-leaved tree branches and cotoneaster berries helped to make it seasonal.
Soon it will be time to cut down the dahlias and mulch well for winter. The roses are being pruned tomorrow. Who knows when the sweetpeas will stop producing and make their way to the compost heap?
In a Vase on Monday is hosted by Cathy at Rambling in the Garden, and today is her third anniversary of creating this wonderful challenge. Do have a look at her page and see what autumnal blooms and branches have made it into hers and other people's vases on this bright, cold day.

'It was anyone's game. It could have finished 4-4' - City fans worried after defeat in Sheffield
PUBLISHED: 18:06 18 August 2018 | UPDATED: 18:50 18 August 2018
Paul Chesterton
Worries about taking one point from the opening three Championship matches of the season are obvious among Norwich City supporters following this afternoon's 2-1 defeat at Sheffield United.
John Egan had headed the hosts in front from a corner in the ninth minute but the Canaries dug in and found a deserved equaliser through Jordan Rhodes in the 26th minute, teed up by Onel Hernandez.
REPORT: Late drama as Sharp denies Canaries a hard-earned point at Sheffield United
Both sides missed big chances during the second half, with Chris Basham and Egan going close with headers for United, Rhodes hitting the post for City and Moritz Leitner wasting a golden one-on-one chance.
But Billy Sharp popped up in the third minute of injury time to prod home David McGoldrick's knock-down at the back post and snatch a dramatic victory.
The defeat followed last weekend's dramatic 4-3 home loss to West Brom and a 2-2 draw at Birmingham on the opening day, in the league, and a hard-fought 3-1 win over League Two side Stevenage during midweek.

You can weave bardic music effects into your spellcasting in such a way that your spellcasting and bardic performance become indistinguishable.
Prerequisites: Bardic performance ability.
Benefit: Whenever you cast a 1st or higher level spell while you are maintaining a bardic performance, you can maintain the bardic performance for that round without expending one of your rounds of performance for the day. In addition, you can switch from one bardic performance to another as a swift action when you cast a spell while maintaining a bardic performance.

*Note: This citation is for the COMBI web material. Mr. Wright is not the scale author for the FAM.
Functional Independence Measure (FIM) The FIM is an 18-item, seven level ordinal scale. It is the product of an effort to resolve the long standing problem of lack of uniform measurement and data on disability and rehabilitation outcomes. The FIM emerged from a thorough developmental process overseen by a National Task Force of rehabilitation research. The National Task force reviewed 36 published and unpublished functional assessment scales before agreeing on an instrument. Subsequent evaluation of the metric properties of the FIM have been reported extensively. The Uniform Data System for Medical Rehabilitation (UDS) provides training materials, a shared database for participating facilities, and requires overall 80% accuracy of raters at each facility for qualifying members. There is a membership fee. The FIM was intended to be sensitive to change in an individual over the course of a comprehensive inpatient medical rehabilitation program. The FIM can be completed in approximately 20-30 minutes in conference, by observation, or by telephone interview. Rasch analysis defines two FIM dimensions, labeled motor and cognitive. It was designed to assess areas of dysfunction in activities which commonly occur in individuals with any progressive, reversible or fixed neurologic, musculoskeletal and other disorders. One limitation relative to using the FIM in evaluating survivors of TBI is that it is not diagnosis specific. Although found to be reliable and valid, the scale has few cognitive, behavioral, and communication related functional items relevant to assessing persons with TBI. Functional Assessment Measure (FAM) The FAM items were developed by clinicians representing each of the disciplines in an inpatient rehabilitation program. The FAM was developed as an adjunct to the FIM to specifically address the major functional areas that are relatively less emphasized in the FIM, including cognitive, behavioral, communication and community functioning measures. The FAM consists of 12 items. These items do not stand alone, but are intended to be added to the 18 items of the FIM. The total 30 item scale combination is referred to as the FIM+FAM. The time required to administer the FIM+FAM is approximately 35 minutes.
The UK FAM In 1995 a United Kingdom FIM+FAM users group set out to develop a UK version of the FAM, keeping the 7-level structure, but attempting to improve the objectivity of scoring, especially for ten of the more subjective items of the twelve. This work has been undertaken in collaboration with SCVMC. Click here for more information on the UK FAM.

Looking and choosing the right yaya for Julia was a difficult task. We started our search when I was still pregnant. Don and I wanted to be sure we find the right one for our family. During the search, we relied so much on gut-feel. When something felt wrong, we say no. If one passes the interview, we require her to undergo a trial run (with pay, of course). That's how we validate our assumptions about character and skills.
Yaya Lani passed the interview and trial run but we had a rough start with her. She was hired together with her neighbor, who was supposed to be our all-around-helper. When that helper quit after 2 days (she realized she would rather stay at their house and do nothing! Duh!), Yaya Lani wanted to go with her. She didn't want to be left alone with us. So we let her go. We do not want to keep her against her will.
But something felt right about Yaya Lani. Don and I decided to convince her to come back. Because I was very pregnant then, it was my mother-in-law who visited her house and talked to her parents. We're glad she decided to give it another try. Today is Yaya Lani's 2nd Anniversary with our family. She is truly a blessing to us. But just like any relationship, making it work requires patience, understanding and respect.
Here are a few things I think we are doing right with Yaya Lani:
Clear Job Description
When Yaya Lani started, Don and I discussed with her thoroughly the scope of her job. We clearly defined her role, the Dos, Don'ts and Nevers. In situations when she needs to extend her role (especially when our all-around-helper quits), we talk to her and ask for her help. In case the "temporary" tasks extend to more than a month, we make sure we compensate her for additional work.
Clear Boundaries
I am very strict with rules. I make sure that Yaya Lani understands these rules and the rationale behind them. We made a rule that whenever we are at work, Yaya Lani should make sure that our role as parents to Julia is still emphasized despite our absence. For example, Julia is not allowed to watch TV at a certain time, Yaya Lani will explain to Julia that "Daddy and Mommy said TV time is only for 1 hour." She should explain to her before sleeping at night that "Daddy and Mommy are on their way home and will sleep beside you later."
Also, as a rule between Don and I, whenever we are home, Julia should be with us and we should be the one taking care of her needs. It is very clear to our household that Don and I are primarily responsible for taking care of Julia. Yaya Lani is only there to help us.
We make sure that we maintain a good balance of professional and personal when it comes to our working relationship with Yaya Lani. We make sure that we are not being complacent especially when it comes to Julia's well being and safety.
Pay Right and Treat Well
I do not allow advance or utang unless it is for a family emergency but we pay Yaya Lani on time. Even before the Kasambahay Bill, we pay for Yaya Lani's SSS Contributions. We give her 13th month pay and salary increase annually. I will enroll her for PhilHealth membership this week. Also, though she did not request for a weekly day off, we make sure we let her visit and spend time with her family every time we go home to Tarlac.
We respect Yaya Lani the same way we want her to respect us. We make sure she eats well. My mother-in-law taught us never to be selfish with food. She believes that if our helpers eat properly, they will work well -- physically and mentally. We also make sure she is able to rest and sleep well. Good presence of mind and reliable reflexes can be attributed to proper nutrition and sleep.
Lastly, hygiene is very important to us, so we include her soap, shampoo, toothbrush and toothpaste in our monthly grocery expense. We give her vitamins too so that she won't get sick easily. If Yaya is virus-free, so is Julia.
Encourage Growth
Yaya Lani has initiative and she is very hard working. She has malasakit for our family. We love her dearly and we can tell that she loves our family too. She is very young and we want to help her improve her and her family's quality of life.
We encourage her to save. We helped her open a bank account and get her own ATM card. We are happy that through her salary, she was able to make a downpayment to purchase a motorcycle for her tatay. Her dad is now working on the permits and some documents so they can use it as a tricycle and earn from it. Whenever she goes home to visit her family, Yaya Lani tells us how happy she is to know and feel that her parents are so proud of her.
This year, Don and I plan to let her attend short courses on cooking, child care, first aid and emergency preparedness. We were about to register her for Manila Workshop's "Ok Ka, Yaya Ko" but the schedule coincides with Julia's 2nd Birthday Celebration. I hope they will have another run soon. Our ultimate goal really is to be able to send her to school to take up a vocational course. I hope someday we can do that for her.
I believe that no matter how well we treat our yaya/helper, we will not have a good relationship with them if they do not uphold and practice the same values as ours. Their character and goals in life also play an important role in making the relationship succeed. All our efforts to retain our yaya/helper will be pointless if they don't have the right attitude and if they do not have the right motivation to work. We know nothing lasts forever but we hope Yaya Lani will stay with us for 10-15 more years (haha, demanding!).
What's your yaya story? Any tips on how to hire and retain a yaya/helper?
