and a little sampling:
"So, you are saying Mrs. Keltons dead Golden Retriever, followed you home?" Kat asked. I watched while she pulled left over potato salad out of the refrigerator and dished it into two bowls. Handing me one, she cocked an eyebrow.
"Not exactly." I said, eyeing Duke, the ghost dog, staking out a place on the couch.
"Not exactly? So what, you dog napped him?" The incredulous look on her face suggested she thought I was joking.
"No, he jumped in the car and I drove him here. He followed us up the stairs," I said.
"Are you even allowed pets?" she asked, laughing.
"Oh haha…very funny." Frowning, I grabbed a beer and slammed the fridge door.
"Oh come on, it was a little funny," she said. "Do I get one of those?" She tilted her head toward my Guinness.
I shrugged and stepped out onto my balcony.

On Writing
Remember back in November when I told you all I was taking the NANO, write a book in a month challenge? Well, I tried and failed. I got about 10,000 words on the pages, then crashed and burned. I stopped writing all together for about three months. I then started working on another idea, got about 12,000 words written, then was stuck. So what did I do? I went back to that first novel on my hard drive and pretty much started it over. A lot of the original words are still there, but I moved them around and changed a bunch of things. I now have about 24,000 words down.
However, as of last night I still didn't have a complete plot. Oh there are ideas and threads of one, but not a complete one. Its hard to know where to go from here without one. So this morning, I just decided to talk it out. I was talking to Greg, but really I was the only one talking. I suspected he was just being polite. Then, he said some off the cuff remark, not unusual for him, and a lot of things clicked in place. I do believe I now have an actually working plot. Of course now all I want to do is write, cause my brain is turned ON. That is not going to happen right now though, as it is our day off and that means we do something together. I doubt Greg is going to think me writing while he listens to the sound of typing is his idea of a fun day.
While, I am not going to tell you a lot of what it is about, I will tell you it is set in New Orleans, the protag ends up bartending at a strip club, and she sees ghosts. No title yet. It is alluding me. Maybe once I flesh out the plot, it'll come to me. You'll be the first to know. Well probably the second, since I am pretty sure I'll tell Greg whether he wants to know or not.

Going Green
In the face of $5.00 a gallon gasoline prices and ever rising energy costs the talk of going green is everywhere. I recently read that Toyota is having trouble keeping up with demand on it's popular Hybrid the Prius. Hallelujah! Good job consumers. I'd love to have one myself, but had to face the reality, a $22,000 car just isn't in my budget. When we were in the market for a car this last January, I did the best I could. Our car is a 2003 Nissen Altima and gets a bit over 30 mpg on the freeway. I tested it on my trip to Tennessee last month.
Other ways we are going green include:
Growing our own fruits and veggies
We planted two trees this spring
We compost
We only use those CFL light bulbs
I recycle my ink cartridges (I just mail them to HP)
Most of our electronics are on power strips to avoid vampire usage
Here is a big one. Everyday we see how long we can last until we have to turn the air conditioner on. It is so tempting to just leave the dang thing on all day and night here in Southeast Louisiana. A few days ago it got close to 100 degrees and yes it is very humid here. I am pleased to say we made it the whole day air conditioner less. The more we do with out the air, the more tolerable the heat is. (I can actually hear my friend Lisa thinking, "I am so not visiting her now." Not to worry, when you come visit, we will turn the air on for you sissies. 🙂
There are lots more things we could do to reduce our own personal carbon footprint, unfortunately we just can't afford to do them at this time. So while we save up to do some of those things, like more energy efficient appliances and windows, we will be purchasing carbon offsets. Click here to calculate your footprint. Basically the money spent on carbon offsets goes toward developing and maintaining renewable energy projects. Our Footprint ranks an 8, still higher than the national average, and we don't even commute to work. We still have much work to do.
Post the ways you are going green. I am always on the look out for things we can do better.
One last thing, Greg has some ideas on what those of you with SUVs can do with them when you can no longer afford to drive them.
1) Gut them and turn them into a green house. The beauty of this is when the sun shifts, you can move them to better sun conditions.
2) Gut it and install a water holding tank. Thermal water heating. We all know how hot those things get in the summer.
3) Low cost student housing
4) Great sports bar, big cushy chairs, air conditioning, cup holders, and built in TV screens
5) Or maybe a SUV house for kids, you know, like a fort. Just keep the windows rolled down, they will be fine. Instead of a tree house, it's a SUV house.

Friday the 13th!
Hey, someone just pointed out to me that it is indeed Friday the 13th. I wonder what kind of weird party is going on down in The French Quarter. I am certain there is something, there always is. Like the end of the prohibition party, or the 4/20 party, or just about anything anyone can come up with as an excuse to party down. 🙂
Happy Friday the 13th. Stay clear of Jason.

Liz McGowan: Will-a-wix 10
Owl pellet bones, graphite on paper
'This body of work arises out of a question I posed to myself when, 6 years ago, I moved out of town to a 3 acre small holding: was it possible to make work about these 3 acres? Owls are a powerful presence here and at the same time their numbers are falling, so we try to manage the land for the habitats and creatures that nourish them. This work, mainly graphite on paper, uses the tiny mammal bones from owl pellets found here which are impressed into the paper in patterns that recall: eye, penumbra, moon, egg. Will-a-wix is a local name for a barn owl.'

British families suffer as inflation rises to twice the rate of other Western countries
Families in Britain are facing a bigger squeeze on living standards than those in most of the Western world.
Inflation in this country is running at twice the rate of similar states with families struggling to cope with food, motoring and energy bills.
Britain's Consumer Price Index (CPI) figure of 3.4 per cent compares to just 1.1 per cent in Germany, 1.4 per cent in both Italy and Spain, and 1.6 per cent in France. more...

Memes--you can't blog without 'em.
[Update II--D'Oh! I conflated celebrities and authors. Corrected.]
Dave Pawlak tags me with this one:
If you could meet and have a deep conversation with any five people on earth, living or dead, from any time period, who would they be?" (Explaining why is optional.) Name five people from each of the following categories:Saints, Those in the Process of Being Canonized, Heroes from your native country, Authors/Writers, celebrities.
The following are in no particular order.
1. Saints.
a. Teresa of Avila.
b. Thomas Aquinas.
c. Thomas More.
d. Paul.
e. Robert Bellarmine.
2. To be canonized.
a. Ven. Solanus Casey. He's a Detroiter.
b. Bl. Marco D'Aviano.
c. Bl. Giovanni Palatucci.
d. Leo XIII (not sure of his status, but doesn't get enough credit).
e. Ven. John Henry Newman.
3. American Heroes.
a. Lincoln.
b. Gen. George H. Thomas. *The* underrated general of the Civil War. Thomas was a Virginian who stayed loyal to the Union and his leadership was indispensible on numerous battlefields in the Western theatre.
c. Gen. Nathaniel Greene. One of the most underrated generals in American history, his leadership kept the Continental Army in the southern colonies together. Also had a grim case of asthma, which I can identify with.
d. Branch Rickey. The general manager of the Brooklyn Dodgers and the man responsible for scouting and signing Jackie Robinson. He told Robinson that the man who broke the color barrier had to "be strong enough *not* to fight back."
e. Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. Yeah, I know--PP, moral failings, etc. To which I reply thusly: Yadda yadda yadda. His leadership and example ensured that America's struggle over racial issues would be fought with paper, not bullets. In most times and places, it hasn't worked out that way.
4. Authors/Writers.
a. Oriana Fallaci. Yes, I'd basically just sit there and let her hold forth.
b. Steve, OFA. It would, after all, be cool to speak in person. I'll even buy the first couple of rounds.
c. Philip K. Dick (is dead, alas). Now that would be a trip.
d. Alexsandr Solzhenitsyn.
e. G.K. Chesterton.
5. Celebrities.
a. Steve Yzerman. I have half a shot at this one--he's a Michigander.
b. Muhammad Ali. Without the scourge of Parkinson's, the stories he could tell.
c. Curt Schilling. The bloody sock, politics and his wargaming company. Break out the microbrews.
d. Johnny Cash.
e. Russell Crowe. Sure wouldn't be dull.
[Update I--Oh, right. You have to hit people with the meme. Okey:
My nearest and dearest
Chris Johnson
Tom Fitzpatrick
Anyone else so inclined (leave notice in the comments box).]

Press TV- A Canadian court has accused Iran of supporting terrorism, upholding a previous ruling that requires the Islamic Republic to pay around $1.7 billion in damages to "American victims of terrorism."
Ontario's Court of Appeal rejected Iran's request to reconsider the ruling on Monday night, arguing that doing so would amount to a breach of Canada's Justice for Victims of Terrorism Act (JVTA).
The JVTA allows victims of terrorism to sue foreign states for damages.
The accusation came despite Iran's firm response to similar cases in the past, where various American and European courts had taken punitive measures against Tehran over unproven claims of complicity in terror.
The new case was brought by families of Americans citizens who had been killed in a series of attacks between 1980s and 2002, mostly blamed on Palestinian and Lebanese resistance movements Hamas and Hezbollah.
The families claimed that the Iranian government supported the two organizations and was therefore responsible for their actions.
The complaints were first filed in the US but the claimants turned to Canada after finding out that the Iranian government had more properties and bank accounts there.
A one-story house in Toronto, an industrial building in Ottawa and two bank accounts were among the assets that were sought in the case.
Without offering further elaboration, the court also claimed in its ruling that Iran was seeking to "frustrate" the JVTA's implementation.
The Iranian government had reportedly told the court that it had immunity in the case. It had also argued that the judgment was against international law and exceeded the maximum damages allowable in Canadian law.
Tehran also argued that the victims had to prove Iran's role in each attack instead of just repeating the US government's baseless allegations.
The court said Iran was only immune in terrorism cases that had occurred before January 1985, when Canada's State Immunity Act was passed.
A recurring trend
Last year, the US Supreme Court ruled that around $2 billion had to be turned over to the American families of the people killed in a 1983 bombing in Beirut and other attacks blamed on Iran.
Likening the act to "highway robbery," Iran said back then that it would seek reparations.
The trend of the unfair rulings continued in March, when a New York court ordered Iran to pay $7.5 billion in damage to families of victims of the September 11, 2001 attacks and $3 billion to a group of insurers over related claims.

- US court verdict allows seizure of Iranian charity
- Iran to appeal Luxembourg assets seizure
- US seizure of $2b of Iran's assets
The ruling surprised many since Washington had clearly blamed the attacks on the al-Qaeda terror group and even investigated members of Saudi Arabia's royal family who had proven ties to the terrorist organization.
Various investigations have revealed that 15 of the 19 plane hijackers involved in the attacks were Saudi nationals and some of them had received big sums of money from Saudi royals.
The ruling lost even more weight in September, after the US Congress passed the Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act (JASTA), clearing the path to sue Saudi Arabia for the tragic death of over 3,000 people.
It was reported in March, however, that a judge in Luxembourg had quietly put a freeze on $1.6 billion in assets belonging to the Central Bank of Iran (CBI) to compensate the 9/11 victims.
The Canadian court's ruling came days after yet another anti-Iran ruling by a US court, which allowed the American government to seize an Iranian charity's office tower in New York City over claims that it was used to breach Iran sanctions.

Everyone has heard about fraud, waste, abuse, pork, goofy grants, etc., but there's another vampire sucking on our economy. It's overhead. Now some overhead is essential to running any program but excess overhead is a nonproductive use of resources. Business figured this out years ago and responded by cutting management levels, improving communication, eliminating duplication, seeking best practices, modifying supply and distribution chains, and taking advantage of technology. The government hasn't gotten the message: our systems are too complicated. Every time technology enables more data tracking the government demands more data. Washington is always issuing new rules but programs don't get simplified (or eliminated if they haven't proven to accomplish their objective). Our convoluted income tax code is a prime example of excess overhead, as are health care administration and the alphabet soup of welfare programs. No one benefits from all this wasted effort.
The economy is a car, efficiency is the gas, excess overhead is the brake, so which do you step on to get moving?

A postcard listing several choices was then sent to residents for them to vote for their favorite. Northbrook, the name submitted by Edward Landwehr, was the one chosen. A petition signed by one hundred twenty-six residents was then presented to the Board of Trustees asking them to change the name of the Village to Northbrook.

You already know about three of the streets – Bach Street, Lee Road and Walters Avenue. Other streets named for early settlers are: Dehne, Happ, Koelling, Winkleman, Huehl, Holste, Sanders, Voltz, Wessling, Pfingsten and Landwehr Roads, and Kiest Avenue.

Blackheath, Techny Fields, and University were the names of three of the golf courses that were built in Northbrook in the late 1920s and early 1930s. Blackheath, which was also called Middlebrook, was located where the Glenbrook Countryside subdivision is today. Techny Fields was at Willow and Waukegan Roads just east of the present Willowhill Golf Course.

Plagge's Hill is the ridge of the moraine near the North Northfield Cemetery. It was called Plagge's Hill because the Plagge family owned the land to the north. Smith's Grove is the Village Green. It was known as Barrenscheen's Grove for the Henry Barrenscheen who owned the land, but also by the name of his tenant – especially during the years that George Smith had a saloon in the grove. Jackson's Grove was an area on the south side of Dundee Road, across the street from the Northbrook Fire Station and running alongside the railroad tracks. Owned by Mr. Jackson, this grove had a few homes and a junkyard. Before Jackson purchased the property, the area was called Skrinesville after Mr. Skrines who owned it.

Michigan man gets prison time for assaulting daughter during forced exorcism
According to the Detroit Free Press, a man from a town east of Lansing, Michigan has been sentenced for slapping his adult daughter after what she refers to as a "forced exorcism."
Last fall, the then-18-year-old daughter of William Watt filed a police report that claimed her dad forcibly slapped her during in argument that was started in part by her family attempting to perform and exorcism on her.
According to the police report, the girl was sitting on a couch in her family home when "Watt, his wife and son approached her and began chanting 'the power of Christ compels you.'"
After being assaulted with various objects by her family, the girl left the house to go to work, but when she returned, she said her father, who had a history of criminal offenses for domestic violence against family members, accused her of "stealing his food," and then slapped her across the cheek. After leaving the house, the teen called the police.
"You can't put your hands on your adult children. You don't get to kick around your kids because they're your kids," Watt's daughter said during her sentencing. "You don't get to grab her neck or slap her in the face."
Read the entire report on the Michigan exorcism-turned-assault via the Free Press.

Hey, guys! Today my doll's were packing for… Camp Doll Dairies!
"Ok, you guys! We should start packing," Said Marie-Grace.
"But I Don't Want To!" Complained Nancy, who wan't an outdoorsy person.
Marie-Grace was the one to start packing first…
…while SOME people were procrastinating!
Marie-Grace packed her note-book…
…and her favorite book, Still Just Grace!
Finally, she finished. 🙂
Grace packed next! 😉
Hmm… I wonder what she brought… 😛
Then it was Kate's turn. "I'll bring my favorite Pjs!" She decided after a few minutes.
Then Caroline packed her stuff up, too!
Finally it was Nancy's turn.
I guess I'll bring this dress… but I don't want it to get dirty!
When everyone was packed up and ready to go, Grace called Carmen, one of her best friends, that she could come over now. (Carmen was taking care of the pets and the baby sister, Lily).
Finally, they were ready to go. "Good-Bye, Lily!"

On the last day of June of this year, a tech website called Redmond Pie posted two articles in quick succession that, on their face, had nothing to do with each other. The first, with the headline "Root Nexus 7 on Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, Unlock Bootloader, And Flash ClockworkMod Recovery," was a tutorial on how to modify the software—mainly in order to gain control of the operating system—in Google's brand-new tablet computer, the Nexus 7, a device so fresh that it hadn't yet shipped to consumers.
The second headline was slightly more decipherable to the casual reader: "New OS X Tibet Malware Puts in an Appearance, Sends User's Personal Information to a Remote Server." That story, which referred to the discovery of a so-called "Trojan horse" computer virus on certain machines in Tibet, pointed out that Apple computers were no longer as impervious to malicious viruses and worms as they had been in the past and that this attack, which targeted Tibetan activists against the Chinese regime, was not random but political. When the Tibetan activists downloaded the infected file, it would secretly connect their computers to a server in China that could monitor their activities and capture the contents of their machines. (The Redmond Pie writer speculated that the reason Apple computers were targeted in this attack was that they were the preferred brand of the Dalai Lama.)
In fact, the Nexus 7 story and the Tibetan Trojan horse story were both about the same thing: hacking and hackers, although the hacking done by the Nexus 7 hackers—who contribute to an online website called Rootzwiki—was very different from that done by the crew homing in on the Tibetan activists. Hacking and hackers have become such inclusive, generic terms that their meaning, now, must almost always be derived from the context. Still, in the last few years, after the British phone-hacking scandal, after Anonymous and LulzSec, after Stuxnet, in which Americans and Israelis used a computer virus to break centrifuges and delay the Iranian nuclear project, after any number of identity thefts, that context has tended to accent the destructive side of hacking.
In February, when Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg observed in his letter to potential shareholders before taking the company public that Facebook embraced a philosophy called "The Hacker Way," he was not being provocative but, rather, trying to tip the balance in the other direction. (He was also drawing on the words of the veteran technology reporter Steven Levy, whose 1984 book Hackers: Heroes of the Computer Revolution was the first serious attempt to understand the…

ALLEGANY, N.Y. — White privilege, the wrongful conviction of five teenagers, and the resettlement of refugees in Western New York are just some of the topics that will be explored during St. Bonaventure University's RaceMatters events during the spring semester.
RaceMatters, a campus dialogue on race and ethnicity, will feature lectures, movies and discussions designed to drive positive communication about race issues.
A number of speakers will visit campus in February, March and April. Unless otherwise noted, all programs are free and open to the public.
A movie and discussion on Feb. 22 will focus on "The Central Park Five," five black and Latino teenagers from Harlem who were wrongly convicted of raping a white woman in New York City's Central Park in 1989.
Dr. Rachel Ann Walsh, lecturer in the Department of English, and Christopher Brown, director of the First-Year Experience and Orientation programs, will show the documentary "The Central Park Five" at 6 p.m. Feb. 22 in the auditorium of the William F. Walsh Science Center.
The five teens served their complete sentences, between 6 and 13 years, before another man, a serial rapist, admitted to the crime and DNA testing supported his confession. A discussion and question and answer session will follow the movie screening.
At 11:30 a.m. Feb. 25 in The University Club, Dr. Paul Barretta will discuss "The Race Line in American Music" as a Thursday Forum presentation for university faculty and staff. Barretta is chair of St. Bonaventure's Department of Marketing.
Documentary filmmaker Whitney Dow will offer insight into The Whiteness Project during his presentation at 4 p.m. March 8 in the Dresser Auditorium of the John J. Murphy Professional Building.
The Whiteness Project is an interactive investigation into how Americans who identify as "white" experience their ethnicity. The project is conducting 1,000 interviews with white people from all walks of life and localities in which they are asked about their relationship to, and their understanding of, their own whiteness. The first installment, "Inside the White/Caucasian Box," is a collection of 21 interviews filmed in Buffalo in July 2014 and appears online atwww.thewhitenessproject.com.
After almost two decades of making films with his black producing partner, Marco Williams, Dow has come to believe that most whites see themselves as outside the American racial paradigm and their race as a passive attribute.
"Subsequently, they feel that they do not have the same right to speak about race as non-whites," said Dow on the project's website. "The Whiteness Project hopes to bring everyday white Americans, especially those who would not normally engage in a project about race, into the racial discussion."
Dr. Michael Taylor, an assistant professor at Ithaca College, will present "Behind the Indian Mascot's Mask: The Changing Face of the Native American Athlete" at 7 p.m. March 14 in Dresser Auditorium.
Taylor, who is on the faculty in the college's Center for the Study of Culture, Race, and Ethnicity, specializes in Native American studies and anthropology. He is the author of the 2013 book "Contesting Constructed Indian-ness: The Intersection of the Frontier, Masculinity, and Whiteness in Native American Mascot Representations."
May Shogan, director of international exchanges and the Education Department of the International Institute of Buffalo, will discuss working with refugees in the Buffalo area during a program on April 19. Her address begins at 6:30 p.m. in Dresser Auditorium.
On April 21, hip-hop artist Kyle "Guante" Tran Myhre will conduct a workshop and spoken-word performance on campus. The two-time National Poetry Slam champion, activist and educator is based in Minneapolis.
Whether deconstructing traditional notions of masculinity, challenging dominant narratives related to race and racism, or just telling stories about the different jobs he's had, Guante strives to push boundaries in terms of form and substance. The time and location of his performance will be announced at a later date.
The university's residence life staff have planned three discussions as part of a Civil Dialogue Series. All of the discussions will take place in The Loft, located on the third floor of The Regina A. Quick Center for the Arts. The program topics and dates are:
• At 4:30 p.m. Feb. 17, Residence Life Civil Dialogue Series: A Conversation about Islamophobia facilitated by the Rev. Michael Calabria, O.F.M., Ph.D., director of the university's Center for Arab & Islamic Studies;
• At 7 p.m. March 21, Residence Life Civil Dialogue Series: A Conversation about Whiteness facilitated by Dr. Anne-Claire Fisher, associate professor of differentiated instruction; and
• At 4:30 p.m. April 13, Residence Life Civil Dialogue Series: Truth and Reconciliation: Repairing Relationships
In addition, the university's Student Government Association (SGA) is hosting a movie series, which begins today. SGA members will hold a discussion period after each documentary is shown.
"Reel Bad Arabs: How Hollywood Vilifies a People," will be shown at 7 p.m. today in The Loft of the Quick Center. Featuring acclaimed author Dr. Jack Shaheen, the film explores a long line of degrading images of Arabs — from Bedouin bandits and submissive maidens to sinister sheikhs and gun-wielding "terrorists" — along the way offering devastating insights into the origin of these stereotypic images.
On Feb. 25, "Two Towns of Jasper" will be shown at 4:30 p.m. in the Walsh Amphitheater. In 1998 in Jasper, Texas, James Byrd Jr., a black man, was chained to a pickup truck and dragged to his death by three white men. The town was forever altered, and the nation woke up to the horror of a modern-day lynching. In "Two Towns Of Jasper," two film crews, one black and one white, set out to document the aftermath of the murder by following the subsequent trials of the local men charged with the crime.
The final film in the series, "Agents of Change," will be shown at 7 p.m. April 6 in The Loft. From the well-publicized events at San Francisco State in 1968 to the image of black students with guns emerging from the takeover of the student union at Cornell University in 1969, the struggle for a more relevant and meaningful education, including demands for black and ethnic studies programs, became a clarion call across the country in the late 1960s. Through the stories of these young men and women who were at the forefront of these efforts, "Agents of Change" examines the untold story of the racial conditions on college campuses and in the country that led to these protests.

The primary legal meaning of "issue"
"Issue" is a technical legal term used in succession and inheritance law and some discretionary trusts. "Issue" is not defined in wills and succession legislation even though it occurs in some legislative provisions. Its legal meaning has been developed under the general (common) law going back to at least 16th century English cases.
The High Court has said that 'issue' is a word with a clear prima facie legal meaning. It means descendants or progeny, and is not limited to children.1,2 Prima facie means at first instance.
Under the general law the "issue" of a person means all of their lineal descendants by blood of every degree, including their children. That is, your "issue" includes not just your children but all of your lineal descendants of all degrees – your children, grandchildren, great-children and so down the line without limit. See infographics. This is the primary legal meaning of issue.
Adopted children – while the primary meaning of issue is about blood relations, legally adopted children can be described as "issue" in certain circumstances and by the operation of the adoption statutes.

What's on your iPod? How many songs, albums, and artists reside inside its shiny little chassis? If you were to ask me I would only be able to answer the question in part. The fact is, I've got way more music on my iPod than I have ever listened to. So the time has come to find out what's on my iPod.
I purchased my trusty 60GB iPod in 2006 just before moving from Australia to the UK so that I could carry my whole CD collection with me. Since then I've added a whole bunch of new CDs as well, and the result is 9087 songs, or 27.5 days of music, all stored in my pocket. But I think there are entire albums I've never listened to, or artists whose songs remain unplayed but for one or two.
So, starting tomorrow I will be playing all my iPod songs in order from 1 to 9087. How long will it take me? Well, let's see. 27.5 days of music equates to 660 hours. I can, maybe, listen to four hours of music a day. That makes for 165 days of listening. Since I mostly listen to my iPod at work that's 33 weeks. Zoiks!
Maybe by July next year I'll be done. Wow - somehow I think I might not make it through this one, but I think it would be fun to at least try because there's bound to be a few gems and a few weird hidden songs on there. So, tomorrow I start. And I'll blog about it as I go.

Short Sale Specialist Help in Stockton CA
What is the difference between a Short Sale vs. a Foreclosure?
This is a commonly asked question. A short sale transpires when the homeowner is no longer able to make their mortgage payments so in turn owes more on their home loan than what the home is worth in the current market. The homeowner will contact a Stockton California Short Sale Realtor Specialist so they can gather the proper documentation to speak with the lender about taking less for the home than the original amount of the homeowner's loan. A short sale is typically the first step in avoiding a foreclosure. A foreclosure is what happens when the lender takes back the property when the homeowner has not tried to reach out for other options, such as a short sale. A foreclosure can make it almost impossible to qualify for a loan and/or become a homeowner for up to seven years, whereas a short sale would be up to two years.
What are the requirements for a Short Sale in Stockton CA?
First and foremost, you need a valid financial hardship letter.
Examples of financial hardships would be:
● Loss of employment
● Decrease in income
● Death of a family member

● Illness or Injury
● Divorce or separation
● Call of Duty in the Military
After typing up your hardship letter, you will also need what is called a Short Sale Package. Contact one of our Short Sale Specialist to help you get this package together!

A year after selling their Belmont mansion of $3.5 million, the Romneys have snagged another residence in town.
Banker & tradesman reported that Ann D. Romney, wife of former Bay State Governor and presidential contender Mitt Romney, purchased a new townhouse in a luxury Belmont development for $895,000. The Romneys sold their 6,400-square-foot home on Belmont's Main Street last April as part of their efforts to downsize and simplify.
Romney bought the property at The Woodlands At Belmont Hill, a new upscale condo and townhome development near McLean Hospital, on June 16.
Interesting…Ann Romney purchased the home not Mitt.

Let's get right down to brass tacks: 2016 has easily been one of the most embarassing and disheartening years for the gaming industry in recent memory. Flop after flop after flop has steadily helped erode any goodwill the industry had earned over the past couple of years, and at the moment it's hard to look past the armies of naysayers that have always saturated the hobby.
We'll talk about software first, since there's no shortage of material. 2016 has been defined by a series of high-profile releases that dropped with all the impact of a wet fart. Perhaps the biggest takeaway from the past year is that the industry and consumers alike haven't really learned much of anything from the controversies of the past few years. Games keep coming out in unfinished or incomplete states, gamers keep on preordering them like zombies, the cycle continues.
It's difficult to select a single game that epitomizes the Year of Disappointment since there were so many shining examples of ineptitude, but for my money the award goes to No Man's Sky. This is a space exploration game that's been fueled with raw hype since the 2013 VGX Awards. Interview after interview with lead developer Sean Murphy led to plenty of awkward, geeky sound clips about the wide and varied things you'd be able to do. You could explore an entire procedural universe! Wars would rage through the stars and you could choose a side and take part! There were secrets to discover that nobody would ever find! If you ever met another player it would be a miracle, but you'd be able to see and interact with each other!
Then August 9 rolls around and the game launches to near-universal derision. You can read my review if you'd like, even after a recent large-scale patch it's still largely accurate. No Man's Sky, at its heart, is painfully dull. Despite (or maybe because of) the much-vaunted procedural generation technology, planets are all essentially the same with a different coat of paint slapped on here and there. The gameplay consists of wandering aimlessly and shooting rocks to gather resources that fuel your wandering; it's the worst sort of nag-meter-based indie survival game, and in 2016 we were already sick of those. It's hideously buggy, even on console: the entire system will lock up on the regular, requiring you to unplug the device to get it started again – something that the PS4 constantly reminds you not to do as it can damage the internal storage.
Perhaps worst of all, though, is the deception inherent in No Man's Sky's nonstop hype train. Many of the features and content we saw in pre-release material isn't just rare, it was discovered to literally be nonexistent after data miners started digging around in the game's innards. The giant sandworm that shows up in one of the game's trailers? Not real. Battles between factions that you could get involved in? Nope. Multiplayer? Absolutely not real, as we saw when two players found each other on launch day. Sean Murphy sat on stage after stage selling things that didn't exist. When the game launched, he vanished. And all throughout the debacle, gamers embarrassed themselves, first by sending death threats before the game launched and later by desperately trying to defend a horribly unfinished game once it dropped.
What do we take away from this debacle? Well, go on most sites and you'll find that discussion of No Man's Sky is taboo, since it's time to "let it go." If you're not allowed to talk about something, it tends to fade from memory over time. We'll all soon forget, a new game will take up the hype torch and, again, the cycle will continue. Welcome to video games in 2016.
Let's continue by talking about one of my pet topics: crowdfunding. Crowdfunding's been an institution of gaming ever since 2012, when Tim Schafer of Double Fine proved that you can become rich by just asking nicely for money. The concepts of accountability and prudence were rapidly flushed down the drain as gamers got out their wallets and bought promises like nobody's business. Saying anything against crowdfunding was absolutely taboo four years ago; impugning the motives of a mighty and sacred Game Developer was unthinkable and would quickly lead to backlash.
So it's no surprise that we've seen crowdfunded project after crowdfunded project bite the dust in hilarious ways – hilarious unless you threw some cash at one of the projects in question, I guess. Double Fine Adventure suffered from funding issues and mismanagement before releasing (in halves) to tepid reviews. The OUYA, supposedly the next great console, launched and promptly exploded in a bright show of failure in 2013 after a troubled development and several scandals. Peter Molyneux's Godus launched in a half-finished state, remains unfinished to this day, and even hosted a gimmicky app-based "contest" whose winner never actually received anything.
The most relevant project when it comes to 2016, though, is Mighty No. 9, a "spiritual sequel" to the Mega Man series produced by Capcom vet Keiji Inafune originally announced in 2013. As with most crowdfunded projects, Mighty No. 9 was sold mostly on Inafune's name, and as with most early crowdfunded projects, it raked in the cash hand over fist, earning over $4 million in free money. Financed by fans with no managerial oversight weighing them down, Comcept was able to produce a high-quality project on time and with no serious iss…no, wait, the game was delayed multiple times, pushing it back to a June 2016 release date. What's more, Comcept had found they liked the taste of money and actually attempted to crowdfund a second game, Red Ash, before Mighty No. 9 was done (to the credit of gamers' karma, this campaign failed.)
Anyway, June 2016 rolls around and Mighty No. 9, the poster child for what crowdfunding can do, launched and promptly earned a pathetic 52 on Metacritic. No Man's Sky, for reference, a game sold almost entirely on the basis of literal lies, is sitting a little over 70. The gameplay was dull and trite, many design decisions were nonsensical, the voice acting was flat out horrendous…if this was supposed to be Mega Man, maybe it's a good thing the Blue Bomber went to the scrap heap. Even Inafune himself admitted the launch was "better than nothing." $4 million in no-strings-attached funding could only produce results that were "better than nothing." That was the death knell for crowdfunding and the industry started to return to a traditional publisher-focused model with inherent accountability and quality control…right?
Nope. Star Citizen, the most successful crowdfunded gaming project in history, continues to slowly trundle along, amassing mind-boggling piles of cash over the course of four years despite having yet to produce anything but very pretty pictures of spaceships, a series of highly questionable alpha builds and an embarrassing/hilarious feud with notorious game developer Derek Smart. Star Citizen didn't release in 2016, so we can't go into it too deeply here, but I'm sure it'll make a great subject for one of these pieces when it finally drops in 2020 or so.
Finally, let's talk about heritage. You'd think the latest iteration of a long-running and iconic series would be a cause for celebration, right? As it turns out, Capcom's Street Fighter V Dragon Punched that thought straight into the stratosphere when it dropped in February. The fighting was great, but there just weren't many streets to do it on; SFV released with extremely little content and was plagued with server issues preventing the game's multiplayer component from working as expected for days following its launch. In particular, SFV had extremely little single-player content; it had no story mode at launch aside from some laughable character prologues, and despite some appreciated updates, still lacks a traditional Arcade mode.
One would assume that casual single-player content doesn't generate the same kind of money and attention that glitzy high-level tournament play does, so from a financial perspective it's not surprising that Capcom decided to drop a half-baked version of SFV that would only appeal to competitive players onto store shelves. The idea that SFV was released with little care for non-competitive players was reinforced by the game's vast array of multiplayer stat-tracking options designed to appeal to elite players. For those of us who aren't quite as dedicated, though, this certainly felt like a betrayal. Updates eventually added a much-needed cinematic story mode and other single-player options, but it's still hard to come back to a game that launched in such an embarrassing state.
These aren't all the disappointments that 2016 smacked us with, of course. Mafia III was a buggy mess. Mirror's Edge: Catalyst was also buggy but fairly bland and generic besides. Homefront: The Revolution was a dry Far Cry clone that choked on even the most powerful PCs. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants in Manhattan tarnished Platinum Games' near-spotless reputation. Resident Evil-led Umbrella Corps reached for eSports fame and ended up devoured by zombies. Armello introduced indie developers to the wonders of platform-exclusive DLC. That's not to say that there weren't some solid titles released in 2016 as well…but you should probably check the other article in this series for those.
So yeah. 2016 was awful, and we're only talking about gaming; if we got into the real-world events of the past year it would probably be even worse, no matter which side of the political spectrum you're on. There's one silver lining in these dark clouds, though; that's the fact that 2017 would have to try really, really hard to be any worse.

Investment decline + reliance on consumers = bad news for the economy
The new official GDP figures out today paint a worrying picture for the longer term, despite many of the headlines. Our economy is severely imbalanced – totally reliant on consumer spending to stay afloat, with no sign of the Chancellor's promised rally in investment. That's particularly concerning as we seek to build a sustainable future outside the EU.
Looking at the ONS' second take on 2016 Q4 GDP, the news on quarterly growth is positive, with an upward revision to 0.7% from 0.6% for 2016 Q4. The economy may have defied the predictions of post-referendum decline, but in the detail the story is still of mediocre growth and intensifying imbalances.
For calendar year 2016, growth is 1.8%, the lowest since 2012 – and well below norms in economic expansions (see here). The story is similar on the more timely growth rate comparing 2016 Q4 with 2015Q4, which shows growth of only 2%.
The demand breakdown shows an economy increasingly reliant on the consumer. These imbalances come through most clearly on calendar year figures, which are more stable and less prone to statistical volatility.
The chart below shows household consumption growing by 3.1 per cent in 2016, continuing a run of stronger and stronger figures; growth was last higher in 2004, in the heady days of the consumer credit boom.
Conversely business investment declined by 1.5 per cent, the first negative figure since 2009 – the peak of the economic crisis.
Household and investment demand, percentage growth
The full story can be seen looking at the contributions to calendar year GDP growth for all demand components. Apart from the big and growing red block for the consumer, overall GDP has been supported only by a very modest increase in government spending and by a small rise in 'other investment' (that also includes some government activity but is mainly due to house building). Trade continues to be a drag on the economy.
GDP expenditure breakdown, contributions to calendar year growth (percentage points)
These trends started well before the referendum, continuing the serious under-performance of the economy since 2010 (beyond the mini-boom ahead of the election). The previous Chancellor made great play of the need to end the unbalanced economy. Into the 8th year of a living standards crisis, this scale of reliance on the consumer seems more dangerous than ever (see also our debt work). Mark Carney was drawn on this yesterday at the Monetary Policy Committee appearance at the Treasury Select Committee; here an extract from the Guardian's most entertaining business live commentary:
Moreover business confidence is hardly likely to have been supported by Brexit. At the Autumn Statement the Chancellor made great play of £23bn of infrastructure spending, but in reality public investment will still be lower as a share of the economy than over the last parliament (here). The Government can and must go much further, not only to protect the economy in the critical months ahead, but also to start rebuilding what they have destroyed.

FIA WEC Shanghai 6 Hours Resources

- Talking Points
- Championship Standings
- FIA WEC News
- FIA WEC tRL TV Videos
The LMP2 class offered a very exciting race, with a lot of drama and wheel to wheel fights, involving also the main championship players, like DC Racing car n.38.
As all the teams use the same car (Oreca 07 – Gibson), there are less major performance differences compared to what we have seen for the LMP1 class (and in some previous LMP2 races), but we can still find some interesting points.
If we start considering the overall lap performance of the first four classified cars and of car n.28 (which came to sixth place, but was much faster than car n.25 who finished fifth), the following table immediately shows us that car n.31, who finished first, actually won on merit, not only because of a perfect strategy and because they avoided any mistake, but also because they had a very strong pace:
Car n.31 was in each metrics in our table either the fastest car or very close to the fastest times. Beside signing the best overall lap time in the race, they are also on top if we consider the average of the best 20 laps and remain extremely close to the best performances also if we look at the average of the best 50 and 100 laps. They are again the quickest if we consider the "all clean laps" metrics.
Another interesting point, anyway, is car n.38 pace. Jota Sport's crew was indeed extremely fast and, in terms of pure performance, could be beaten only by car n.31. Their race was anyway affected by a couple of mistakes/accidents that compromised completely their final result.
The plots relative to the best 20, 50 and 100 laps help us even more to understand how each team performed:
The first thing to notice, looking at the plots above, is how close all the cars we are analyzing were to each other, in terms of lap performance potential.
Car n.31 was indeed the fastest if we only look at the best 20 lap times plot. Above all their best 10 laps were sensibly faster than the ones of all the other cars.
Anyway, if we move our focus on the best 50 and 100 laps, we clearly see that the line seating below all the other was actually the one of car n.38, who clearly becomes the fastest car past the 10 mark.
It is also interesting to notice how close to each other were car n.31 and car n.36 (who finished second), in terms of performance, past the 25 mark.
Another interesting point is also that all the lines in our plot seem to show a very similar gradient from left to right (from fastest to slowest laps).
With this regard, it is very revealing to look also at how the performance of each car evolved during the race, also comparing each crew to the winning n.31.
If we first put car n.31 and car n.36 together, we see that the Rebellion crew was significantly faster than the Signatech one mainly during the second and the last stint, but also that the two cars were pretty close to each other (in terms of lap times) during the rest of the race. We could even go so far and say that car n.31 seemed to manage the tyres better, as they normally showed a slower increase of the average lap times during two stints (also in LMP2 each team had to double stint the tyres). But this could also be dependent on other factors, like traffic management.
A comparison between car n.31 and car n.38 also offers some interesting discussion points.
Car n.31 was again untouchable during the second stint, with Bruno Senna at the wheel, while Jota had his silver driver in the cockpit (Laurent), although Laurent is surely one of the biggest sensation of 2017 Season and is really fast.
Anyway, car n.38 produced in several stints a better performance than car n.31 and was sensibly slower only in the closing phases of the race.
This confirms their performance potential and that their race was actually ruined by unfortunate track action situations, but not because of bad pace.
Rebellion second car, n.13, was a step behind the sister crew in terms of performance and indeed one of the slower cars in our analysis (but we mentioned already how close these five cars were to each other in terms of performance), but still managed to close third, overtaking car n.38 in the final phases.
And indeed, if we compare the pace of car n.38 and car n.13 during the whole race, the first thing that catch our eyes is the dramatic performance drop that Jota's crew had in the final two stints, while car n.13 was able to keep running with a much better performance.
Sector 1
Let's now try to break down each car performance by looking at the sector times.
In sector 1 car n.31 and car n.38 performance are very close, with all the other crews remaining anyway not too far, above all Signatech.
Car n.31 and car n.38 metrics are always very similar, with the gap only slightly increasing as we consider more and more laps. Car n.36 follows very close behind.
A look at the best 20, 50 and 100 sector 1 times plots helps to get a better feeling about each team's pace.
Car n.31 seems indeed to have a small edge on the competition in this sector, with car n.38 being very close if we look at the 20 best sector 1 times plot, but losing a bit of ground on the long run. Car n.13 is constantly slower than the other crews in this first part of the track.
Again, excluding maybe only car n.13, all the cars we consider are incredibly close to each other up to at least the 70 mark; this underlines not only the consequences of using the same chassis but also, most importantly, how good these teams work and how close they constantly are to the limit, after one season of development of their cars, setups and approaches.
Sector 2
Sector 2 offers a slightly different scenario, with car n.38 being constantly very fast and car n.31 not seating on top here, although remaining always among the fastest ones.
As we mentioned already, sector 2 is at least partially downforce dominated, but we better not jump to quick on conclusions and look first to the data of this sector and sector 3 afterward.
The table above seems to confirm, without any doubt, that car n.38 was extremely competitive in this section of the track, although again the gaps between the cars in each metrics are extremely small.
This sector seems also to suite car n.13 pretty well, on the contrary of sector 1. Is this also what the best 20, 50 and 100 laps plots tell us?
Car n.38 and car n.13 look very strong, both if we look at the 20 laps plots or we concentrate on the long run. Again, all the cars are pack extremely closed together and car n.31 is not far, although not shining as they did in sector 1 and in terms of overall performance. Did they indeed run less downforce than car n.38?
Sector 3
This doesn't seem what sector 3 data tell us. In a sector where top speed (and hence low drag) play an important role, car n.38 and car n.31 are very close to each other in terms of performance and indeed have a slightly bigger gap to the other crews we consider, compared to what happened in sector 1 and 2.
This is what the table relative to the best sector 3 times and to the average of the best 20, 50, 100 and "all clean laps" sector 3 times tell us.
Anyway, the plots relative to the best 20, 50 and 100 sector 3 times give in my opinion a better feeling about the performance situation in this section of the circuit.
In all three plots it is crystal clear how car n.31 and car n.38 lines constantly lie below all the others, with car n.38 having maybe a small edge up to the 50 mark.
Car n.36, that had a very good overall pace during the whole lap, was indeed a step behind Jota's and Rebellion's crews in this sector, as was Rebellion second car n.13.
Speed Traps
The top speeds data seemed to confirm that car n.31 and car n.38 were running similar drag levels:
Car n.31 and car n.38 have pretty much always the best top speed and this is indeed no surprise, following the analysis of sector 3 times.
Car n.36 is, on the other hand, constantly the slowest one in terms of top speed, which seems to give a reason for their slightly slower times in sector 3 and their pretty good performances in sector 2.
All of this seems anyway to leave open the reasoning behind car n.38 being slightly faster than car n.31 in sector 2: this doesn't seem to lie on different aerodynamic configurations.
Maybe the two teams were running different mechanical setups, which could also partially explain the differences in tyre management that we discussed before; but the reason of these differences could also simply "depends" on the driving styles of the drivers composing each crew or on the different race situations in which each team found itself during the race.
In general, car n.31 seemed to be a bit more consistent than the other crews (in particular car n.38, that was the closest in terms of performance), but they also had the (well deserved) advantage of being constantly in front, this giving a chance to manage the race instead of having to chase it, as it was the case for car n.38 during many phases; they most probably could not run in "save mode" and maybe had to stress its tyres much more (see for example the accident and relative spin that car n.38 had during the confrontation with G-Drive car, which surely didn't do any good to the set of tyres they were using during that stint).

10 gaunts
10 gaunts
10 Stealers toxin sacs
10 Stealers toxin sacs
5 Raveners
5 Shrikes with boneswords, toxin sacs
20 Gargoyles with adrenal glands and toxin sacs
Essentially it is trying to old tyranid bum rush tactic. I generally run either shrikes or trygon, but this is 'Ard boyz.
Of course I Don't have a second trygon, I don't have wings for my shrikes, and I don't have 20 gargoyles.
The other possibility would be to run a list with The Swarmlord, ymgarl stealers, Hormagaunts and more raveners. But that too isn't quickly feasible as I don't have a swarmlord model (yet).
I want to take a moment to address Hormagaunts. I have lost interest in them this edition as they lost the beast rule. That 12" assault range was huge and is what kept them alive as they were outside of "rapid fire" range. The fact that they lost Ws also sucked. But as I've been thinking about it, I might bring them back. With the surge of GK around, they are going to be very valuable. They still die to cleansing flame like everything else, but against halberts and such they are great.
For 10 points you deck them out with toxin sacs and adrenal glands. On the charge they are S4 I6 3 attacks rerolling 1s to hit and rerolling to wound against T4 or lower. That is 7 points cheaper then Toxin sac Stealers. Stealers hit 66% and reroll to wound with rending. Mean while the hormagaunts should hit 55% and also reroll to wound but with out rending. It becomes weight of attacks vs rending. I have yet to do the math for it to see where the point tips in the hormagaunts favor, but I'm thinking it will be worth taking a squad. Plus I love the models.
Are you guys trying to finish assembling that last unit or so for 'Ard boyz? or are you just taking what you have and going with that?

November 3rd is National Sandwich Day, which shouldn't come as a surprise seeing as there is now a holiday for everything. (Seriously, did you know May 3rd is National Eat What You Want Day? Pretty sure people do that every day.) Hartford is, of course, brimming with restaurants, cafes and markets. Here is a list of some of the sandwiches that you should absolutely, definitely eat while you're in town.
Craftbird Food Truck– Fried Chicken Sandwich
Always moving, check their website for their daily location
You can find this Hartford based food truck stationed in Bushnell Park and State House Square a few days a week. Their fried chicken sandwich (with a gluten free bread option) is absolutely worth leaving your office building for during lunch.
Max Downtown– French Dip Sandwich
185 Asylum Street, Hartford, CT 06103
(860) 522-2530
A French dip just sounds like something you want to eat while sitting in a leather chair, surrounded by regal art work and brass chandeliers. Luckily for you, Max Downtown was recently renovated in this exact fashion. Most importantly, their chef makes a mean French dip sandwich with slow roasted prime rib and garlic-horseradish butter.
Franklin Giant Grinder Shop– Italian Combo Grinder
464 Franklin Avenue, Hartford, CT 06114
(860) 296-6574
A Hartford classic, if you will. Located in the South End, residents have been coming here for 30+ years for their namesake "giant" sandwiches. The Italian combo piled high with ham, capicola, Genoa salami and provolone is always a good choice. After all, you are in Little Italy.
Salute– Jumbo Lump Crab Cake Sandwich
100 Trumbull Street, Hartford, CT 06103
(860) 899-1350
It's your favorite crab cake but now with more carbs! Salute's jumbo lump crab cakes are topped with tomato-pepper remoulade and served on a brioche roll. And if the roll isn't enough carbs for you, their garlic bread is "almost famous" for a reason.
Republic at The Linden– Croque Monsieur
10 Capitol Avenue, Hartford, CT 06106
(860) 310-3269
Obviously, as this is a free country, you can eat this sandwich any time of the year. However, a ham and gruyere panini smothered in bechamel and sweet hot mustard sounds particularly appealing during the cold Connecticut winter, no?
Tastease– Cubano
70 New Park Avenue, Hartford, CT 06106
(860) 233-2235
This is really just an all around win. At what other cafe can you eat a toasty, melty, perfectly indulgent cubano and also order three dozen adorable midi doughnuts to-go? Only in Hartford, people. Only in Hartford.
Corner Grinder– Chicken Cutlet Grinder
200 Franklin Avenue, Hartford, CT 06116
(860) 296-0590
Name a time in history when breaded meat in between more bread has ever been a bad idea… Exactly. This South End staple serves up hefty portions. And if you're really feeling it? They also make 2-6ft grinders, which are perfect for a tailgate, or that family pot luck that you don't know what to bring.
Firebox Restaurant– Egg Sandwich
539 Broad Street, Hartford, CT 06101
(860) 246-1222
Found only on their brunch menu, this sandwich is really everything you could ever want at noon on a Sunday (hungover or not). House-made sausage with cheddar, arugula, apple compote and a fried egg in a Hartford Baking Co. brioche roll? Yes, please.
Black Eyed Sally's– New Orleans Po' Boy
350 Asylum Street, Hartford, CT 06103
(860) 278-7427
A little bit of New Orleans found its way to Hartford at Black Eyed Sally's. Order the classic po' boy with either fried shrimp, or fried or blackened catfish and all the fixins for a true taste of Louisiana.
El Nuevo Sarape– Tortas de Milanese
931 Broad Street #1, Hartford, CT 06106
(860) 547-1884
Alongside the taco, the torta is a Mexican street food staple. Piled high with meat, refried beans, tomato, creamy avocado, onion, and sour cream, this sandwich is full of your favorite taco ingredients, but arguably more portable.
Kien Oriental Market– Spicy Grilled Beef Banh Mi
1801 Park Street, Hartford, CT 06106
Head to the back of this Asian grocery store for one of the best lunch deals around. At $4.50 each, you have a choice between four different banh mi: grilled beef, cold cut, pork skin or meat ball all topped with garlic mayo, cilantro and pickled daikon and carrot. Get the grilled beef spicy. It's the perfect amount of sweet with heat.
J's Crab Shack– Whole Belly Clam Roll
2074 Park Street, Hartford, CT 06106
(860) 231-9545
J's Crab Shack may be located smack dab in the middle of the state, but they are known for their fresh seafood (and eel tank). The move: order a Hartford brewed beer and their whole belly clam roll and play a game of darts with your friends.
