Let's Speak Freely is a project that is going to be implemented by Youth Council Prilep and supported be The American Embassy in Republic of Macedonia in the period of October 2011 - December 2012.
The goal of this project is to improve the freedom of speech in Prilep by empowering young journalists from different ethnic backgrounds and raising the awareness of students to exercise their voice. The project will improve media independence, strengthen the education of all the young people involved, and allow the students and young people express themselves.
The project "Let's Speak Freely" will directly involve 47 young people and indirectly target an additional 250 young people from different ethnic backgrounds. The project will train 17 young people in video journalism. As a part of the project, the young journalists will create video news clips and a website will be created to publish all youth reporter video news. Finally, the best submission will be selected by TV Kanal Vizia, a local television station. All members of the Journalists Groups will be recognized with a certificate and the 3 members of the winning PEER Group will be awarded an internship in respected Medias in Prilep.
Pulse Radio is a youth internet radio station created by Youth Council Prilep with technical assistance of CAPCA – organization of Former Peace Corps Volunteers from the area of Chicago.
The youth members of Youth Council Prilep initiated the process that led to this project. The high school and university students who volunteer in YCP expressed interest in a youth radio station. The Program Coordinator of YCP, Mile Dimkoski, was an EVS Volunteer for 1 year with Radio ORV in Varna, Bulgaria and supported the youth members in their desire for a youth radio station by staging periodic internet radio broadcasts from YCP's office. However, given the need for YCP's office to function as an NGO, it is not an appropriate site for a permanent youth radio station.
Therefore, YCP conducted an online poll to gauge the support among the larger youth community in Prilep. The poll shows that the overwhelming majority of young people contacted are enthusiastic about a youth radio station. YCP, the INFO-SEGA Youth Center, and Coalition SEGA are all supportive of the Project given the clear level of enthusiasm among the young people in the community.
Youth Council Prilep, from 22 - 27 August 2011, in Hotel Klimetica Ohrid, Macedonia is organizing 5 day international training course, where 30 participants from 10 European countries will learn and share experience how to create and implement projects that in great sense will promote inter-cultural youth work in multicultural environments.

Q: Proof the superstring action is Weyl invariant The superstring action is:
$$ S =  k\int \mathrm d\sigma \sqrt{-h} \left [ h^{\alpha \beta} \partial_\alpha X^\mu \partial_\beta X_\mu + 2i {\bar{\psi}} ^\mu \rho^\alpha \partial_\alpha \psi_\mu - i {\bar \chi}_\alpha \rho^\beta \rho^\alpha \psi^\mu \left (\partial_\beta X_\mu -\frac{i}{4}{\bar \chi}_\beta \psi_\mu \right)\right ]$$
This is Weyl invariant, but the symmetry isn't manifest. All the books and lecture notes I've seen just state this outright, without proving it. Is there a reference where I can see the proof done in detail? Even when they give the action in the superconformal gauge ($ h_{\alpha \beta} = \eta_{\alpha \beta}$ and $\chi_\alpha = 0$), they don't bother to prove it.

Appointments are coming... are you prepared to serve as an interim minister?
The Intentional Growth Center's Intentional Interim Ministry Seminar at Lake Junaluska is the solution to your unintentional interim appointment.
The Intentional Growth Center is the pioneer in Transitional/Intentional Interim Ministry training in the UMC which continues to offer the training at its finest. IGC is recognized by the General Board of Higher Education and Ministry. In the past 15 years, IGC has trained nearly 600 interim ministers who represent over 40 states.
Interim Ministry Seminar graduates help congregations at a turning point face critical issues and prepare for a new, brighter future.
Each TIIMS Training is a three-phase process which spans six months. Phase I: four-day intensive orientation to the work of interim ministry. Phase II: six-month period of work in one's home parish applying some of the learning of Phase I with mentoring by the instructors. Phase III: three-day gathering to integrate the learning of Phase I with the experiences of Phase II.
When is an Interim Minister needed?
When a long-time pastor decides to retire. Interim ministers help the congregation to adjust and prepare for another pastor.
When a pastor dies suddenly.
When there is an allegation or possibility of clergy misconduct.
When a congregation has gone through a number of unproductive ministerial appointments.
When a congregation is experiencing significant change or growth and needs some assistance.
The shock of a change like this calls for special leadership. Trained Interim Ministers are there to help these congregations face issues in the short term which, if left unresolved, could undermine the mission of the church.
The cost of this training is $997.00 per person for all three phases. 5.0 CEU credits are given for successful completion of Phase III.
You can host a TIIMS training in your own annual conference!
Contact Don Neal, TIIMS Coordinator, at 800-482-1442 or dneal@intentionalgrowthcenter.org.

"Hark The Sound" is the alma mater (song) of the University of North Carolina.  It was written by William Starr Myers (class of 1897), a member of the UNC Glee Club at the time.  It is sung at the end of athletic events (win or lose) and other university gatherings, and is one of many alma maters set to the music of "Annie Lisle".

It is usually followed by a rendition of Carolina's fight song, "I'm a Tar Heel Born"—even during formal occasions.

Since 2008, an acoustic version of the song has been played before the start of football and basketball games.

Listen to Hark the Sound as played by The Marching Tar Heels, here
or as sung by the 1956–57 UNC Glee club , here

Lyrics

The first of the three verses is as follows; it is the only portion sung at University events:

Hark the sound of Tar Heel voices
Ringing clear and True
Singing Carolina's praises
Shouting N.C.U.

Hail to the brightest Star of all
Clear its radiance shine
Carolina priceless gem,
Receive all praises thine.

The second and third verses are as follows; they are not typically sung at University events:

Neath the oaks thy sons and daughters
Homage pay to thee
Time worn walls give back their echo
Hail to U.N.C.

Though the storms of life assail us
Still our hearts beat true
Naught can break the friendships formed at
Dear old N.C.U.

N.C.U. is an abbreviation for "North Carolina University," as Carolina was sometimes called in the late 19th century. Since at least the 1980s, it has been common to yell N-C-U! in the line shouting N-C-U.  Also, after clear its radiance shine, students will stomp their feet in time with the drum roll—a practice dating back to at least the 1990s.

In recent years, it has become common to shout priceless gem instead of singing it.  This practice started among students and younger alumni in the early 2000s.

In 2006, the lyrics of the second verse of Hark the Sound were officially changed. The first line was changed from "sons true hearted" to "sons and daughters."

Factory fingered as source of listeriosis outbreak to reopen
06 December 2018 - 19:42 By Wendy Knowler
An employee loads polony onto a truck at a Tiger Brands factory in Polokwane in March. The plant was given the go-ahead to re-open on Thursday.

Tiger Brands was on Thursday given the green light by health authorities to reopen its polony-producing Polokwane plant, named as the source of the world's most deadly listeriosis outbreak in March.
The announcement comes just three days after the Johannesburg High Court granted an order certifying a class action against Tiger Brands, which will determine whether the company is liable for the outbreak.
The legal case relies on the fact that the outbreak strain of listeria monocytogenes, which infected 91% of the people who died' was found at the Enterprise factory in Polokwane.
Tiger Brands CEO Lawrence MacDougall stressed in his announcement on Thursday that: "No liability has been established against the company for the listeriosis outbreak".
"The legal process of the class action must still take its course," he said.
All 1,060 listeriosis victims could benefit as Tiger Brands agrees to class action
Lawyers representing victims of the listeriosis outbreak will approach the South Gauteng High Court to certify the litigation as a class action.
The company is to co-fund a communication campaign to notify the victims and families of the more than 200 who died of the class action.
Of the 1,065 confirmed cases, only 150 are currently represented by the two firms of attorneys representing the victims: Richard Spoor Attorney and LHL Attorneys.
Tiger Brands said its legal representatives had worked closely with the attorneys for the class action to help expedite the certification process.
"This collaboration significantly reduced the period the certification process took to be finalised," it said.
Richard Spoor confirmed on Thursday that Tiger Brands had paid R1m towards the media campaign - "and we will contribute the same amount".
"We would have had to mount a far more extensive, expensive campaign were it not for health minster Aaron Motsoaledi's willingness to send notices about the class action to its database of doctors, laboratories and many of the victims."
Spoor said the firms' contribution to the media campaign, and many of their other considerable expenses related to the listeriosis class action, were being met by the US-based firm of attorneys, Marler Clark, which has for more than 20 years specialised in food-borne disease outbreak litigation worldwide, and has taken a keen interest in South Africa's outbreak.
Health department and WHO put measures in place to prevent outbreak of listeriosis
The health department and the World Health Organisation (WHO) have put measures in place to strengthen food safety in a bid to prevent the outbreak ...
Meanwhile, for the first time since March, Tiger Brand's Polokwane plant is to begin producing polony, viennas and other ready-to-eat processed meats, destined for supermarket fridges across the country.
This is after the Capricorn Municipality's environmental health department gave the company an official Certificate of Acceptability for the Polokwane factory on the completion of rigorous assessments.
The certificate endorses the factory's standards and operating procedures for the safe production of food products.
"The Department of Health has referred the industry to the CODEX standard, which says that for finished ready-to-eat products which promote growth of the bacteria, there must be zero listeria detection in products, both as they leave the factories as well as to the point of sale," Mac Dougall said.
The new red polony packs will look a little different.
In a bid to create full transparency, Enterprise Foods has introduced a "revolutionary" 7-step quality check process from farm to table, MacDougall said, and those details will appear on-pack, as well as on the Enterprise Foods website.
"We recognise the tremendous responsibility we have as business to move beyond compliance and the standards we have in South Africa and to be at the forefront of solutions that give assurance to all South Africans - whether they eat our products or not - that the food safety system is robust," MacDougall said.
"The Centre for Food Safety, which we launched in collaboration with the Stellenbosch University on November 6, is a critical milestone in this quest.
"As a food manufacturing company with a long, strong and proud heritage in South Africa, there is an enormous amount of trust that is placed in us and our products.
"I know that some of that trust has been lost as a result of the listeriosis crisis and that we need to earn back that trust over time through our actions and by keeping our word."
Historic listeriosis class action one step from going ahead
The victims of listeriosis, including Montlha Welhemina Ngobeni's baby, who will have a shunt in her brain for life, are only days away from having ...

Not many boards, let alone a CEO, would survive such a year without severe scrutiny and criticism from investors and other stakeholders

Granola is more than a breakfast cereal. It's a versatile ingredient that works well in a lot of recipes. You can make granola bars, use in baking, top a salad, add to smoothies. Or as we like to do, eat it straight out of the bag. Erin Baker's Fruit and Nut Granola eats like a trail mix. It's loaded with walnuts, almonds, plump cranberries and California raisins, with a hint of toasted coconut.
This granola is a nice pick-me-up in the morning. The overall mix consistency and flavor is good. Great with yogurt!


Need to know how to cure a Cold?
Colds are annoying and boring, they usually last for a lot of time and they can really debilitate the body. Whenever you get a cold, the first thing you think about is how to cure it.
However, people usually decide to use a lot of medications to fasten the course of the cold, but this may not be the best of ideas. The best way to cure a cold is to use natural methods and remedies.
Rest and Cut the stress: the best thing to do is to rest and give your body time to recover some energy. Stress can also be a cause of an incoming cold, because it lowers the immune system.
Drink a lot of water: during a cold you will lose a lot of fluids, since you'll produce a lot of mucus. Drinking a lot of water will help your body unclog your nose and eliminate your mucus.
Have some tea and honey: drinking hot tea mixed a spoonful of honey can help you ease the irritation of your sore throat and the other symptoms.
If these remedies won't help you ease the symptons of your cold, be aware that according to doctors and scientists it takes up to only 5 days for the real cold to manifest. So if you're really feeling bad and need a fast solution, start with over-the-counter medications or, most important of all, go talk to your doctor.

This could work, whispered the little voice in the back of her mind, the voice that had been silent for seven years…

Aloof but intriguing, defensive but undeniable, Ian is everything Cecily shouldn't want but can't ignore. He watches her with shrewd blue eyes, as if determined to decipher her secrets…and for the first time in years, she finds herself coming alive beneath the hands of a man with too many scars to count.

Afternoon sunlight bathed the patient suite with a dull gold hue. Outside, pools of shadow darkened the carefully tended lawn as broken clouds passed befor
Afternoon sunlight bathed the patient suite with a dull gold hue. Outside, pools of shadow darkened the carefully tended lawn as broken clouds passed before the sun. It was five minutes past four, another gorgeous New England October day. The view did little to soothe Preston's taut-strung nerves. He turned to regard his brother, Ian, who sat stiffly in an armchair beside the hospital bed.
Ian met his gaze with weary resignation. "I know," he said, his once-theatrical baritone gone thin and quiet. "I look like shit."
"You do," Preston admitted.
Ian sighed and let the white hospital blanket fall from his shoulders. "Kind of you to agree."
Preston caught the edge of the logo on Ian's T-shirt, a pair of crossed blue scimitars, and smiled affectionately. "Nice shirt."
Ian lowered the blanket enough to reveal Samaritan written under the scimitars. "If anyone catches me wearing this old thing, my reputation will be ruined," he teased, though the humor was bleak.
Preston studied Ian's face, wishing he knew what his brother was thinking. They were close, but this addiction had become a chasm between them. Ian had fifteen more days to go as an inpatient, followed by another three months of planned outpatient counseling. The program had an excellent rate of success, but only if the patient stuck through to the end, which had always been Preston's biggest concern. Ian blamed himself for his addiction. He tended to think he could do everything on his own.
"That's why I'm here: your reputation."
A hint of the old sharpness came to Ian's blue-gray eyes. "The firm contacted you."
Preston nodded. "They've reassigned your cases. You're on six months' leave—"
"Six months?" Ian sat forward, stubbled jaw set. "I have active cases. Trials—"
"And an addiction to painkillers," Preston interrupted ruthlessly. Guilt twisted through him as Ian sat back, going pale, but the time for gentle handling had passed. Since his postsurgical discharge nine months ago, Ian had sailed in and out of rehab programs, doing the minimum to satisfy the partners at his law firm. Painkillers had given him the false strength to handle a full caseload, but also to put himself back into physical therapy to try and fix the new damage he'd done to his still-healing back.
Ian glared at Preston. "What the hell am I supposed to do for six months?"
"Get clean. Get yourself squared away."
With a resentful huff, Ian snapped, "Fine. I need to catch up on continuing education credits."
"You'll have to do distance learning. One of their conditions was that you stay away from Manhattan."
The sharpness in Ian's eyes gave way to fire; he'd loved Manhattan since the day he'd first toured NYU in his senior year of high school. "What?"
Calmly, Preston reminded him, "You're a criminal lawyer, Ian. If you want to get painkillers, you know people."
Ian's jaw clenched. "I live in Manhattan. What the fuck am I supposed to do? Sleep on your damned couch?"
"You think I want you on my couch? Bad enough I have Ray crashing there between missions." Preston shook his head, hiding his horror at the thought of putting his brother and his business partner in the same room for more than an hour. "I have another plan."
Ian huffed and pushed up out of his armchair, abandoning the blanket. He steadied himself with a hand on the back of the chair and then walked to the window. His back was noticeably stiff, but once he had his balance, his steps were smooth. "If it's a round-the-world trip on your boat, you can forget it. I just got through withdrawal. I've had enough nausea to last a lifetime without seasickness."
Even before the law firm's partners had made their request that Ian stay away from the temptations of Manhattan, Preston had been thinking about how best to help his brother. Ian was both brilliant and arrogant. He'd pounce on any hint of weakness, which made rehab—especially group therapy—all but worthless. And while he had the willpower to avoid drugs for recreation, he was too good at justifying one more pill to get him through a tough case, never realizing that all those "one mores" added up to an addiction that would destroy his life.
Ian needed time to heal, to learn how not to push himself. He needed someone who could win, and hold, his respect. And after days of thinking about it, only one name came to Preston's mind, the single person who might be able to stand firm against one of Manhattan's most promising criminal defense lawyers.
Preston smiled reassuringly. "I promise, you'll be nowhere near the ocean."
For long, heavy seconds, Ian studied Preston's face. Then he closed his eyes and turned his face to the sun. "All right," he finally agreed, looking back at Preston. "Make whatever arrangements you need. I'll tell the staff I'm leaving."
Cecily Knight walked up the creaking wooden steps and opened the door to the double-wide trailer. Over one shoulder, she carried a large frame backpack filled with groceries and supplies. Her parka was unzipped, despite the chill wind that blew through the mountain town. She'd had years to get used to the cold.
"Mark?" she called, pushing her sunglasses up onto her head.
The back door opened, and the airfield manager, Mark Wallace, grinned at her across the combination office, lobby, and kitchen. "Just finished refueling. You're set to go."
"Thanks." Cecily held the door for Chuck, the kid from Pinelake Grocery and Feed, who was carrying a sixty-pound sack of chicken feed. He shifted the bag in his arms and trudged after her, exuding the teenage resentment that came with being required to do any work.
Pinelake Airfield hardly deserved the name. It had a single hundred-foot-wide runway paved with gravel that trailed off into weeds at the edges. Cecily's own aircraft, a blue-and-gray two-seater, was already parked at the end of the runway, puffing exhaust out into the crisp midday air. Overhead, the steel blue sky seemed to stretch into infinity.
Mark fell in beside Cecily, saying, "I did a full check on the engines, changed out the fluids, all that. You're ready for winter."
"I appreciate it. Put it on my card?"
"Already done."
She nodded as she swung her heavy pack off her shoulders. "Toss the feed in the passenger seat," she told Chuck as they reached the little aircraft. He nodded and jogged around to the other side while she opened the cargo hatch. She stowed the frame pack behind her seat, keeping an eye on Chuck as he strapped the sack securely in place.
"Think you'll make it back down before winter really sets in?" Mark asked.
Cecily shrugged. "Might."
"If not, see you next spring." Mark gave her a friendly smile. "You take care of yourself."
Cecily returned the smile and opened the cockpit door. She leaned across to pass Chuck a five-dollar bill and then climbed into her seat. "Thanks, Chuck."
"See ya, Miss Knight," he answered, shoving the five into his pocket and slamming the door.
She put on her headset, adjusted her sunglasses, and keyed the mic. "Charlie Foxtrot X-ray Lima Niner requesting permission for takeoff."
Mark took the radio from his belt and waved to her as he led Chuck off the runway. "All clear, Charlie Lima Niner. See you around."
In ten minutes, she was up in the sky. She'd never meant to be a pilot, but she'd never meant to be a lot of things. By now, she was supposed to be a major in the Corps or maybe dead in the desert—not living in the backwoods of Canada in a place so remote that she needed a plane or snowmobile to reach the nearest grocery store.
The radio crackled to life, startling her. "Charlie Foxtrot X-ray Lima Niner, this is Pinelake tower, over," Mark said.
Baffled, she toggled the mic. "Pinelake, this is Charlie Lima Niner. What's up, Mark?"
"Can you swing back around? Got a phone call for you. The guy says he'll hold to talk to you."
"Seriously?" She glanced out at the ridge of pine trees that hid the blue ribbon that was her highway home, upriver of Pinelake. The only thing she could imagine was that the Veterans Administration needed to get hold of her—possibly some issue with her disability payments—but that sort of thing could be handled through the mail. "What the hell?"
"Uh, says to tell you it's Samaritan?" Mark said uncertainly.
Cecily's hands clenched the controls. Her mouth went dry as she remembered smoke and gunfire before the flashbangs had rendered her temporarily blind and deaf. The first thing she'd seen when her vision cleared was a silvery badge, not from a nation but from a corporation. Two blue scimitars. Samaritan.
Numbly, Cecily answered, "Roger, Pinelake. Charlie Lima Niner turning back to the runway. Request clearance for priority landing."
"Pinelake acknowledges. Charlie Lima Niner, you are cleared to land. Drive safely, Cecily."
"Out." She keyed off the mic and took deep breaths as she eased the plane around. She circled wide and studied the brilliant, endless blue sky, so pale and different from the sky in her nightmares. Only when her hands were rock-steady did she turn fully and begin the descent back to Pinelake.

Are your business problems unique?
Worried that digital marketing isn't being customised to your needs?
In my posts, I like to answer real questions that I hear from CEOs and I was having a conversation with a prospect the other day where I was explaining the benefits of inbound marketing.
I was describing how the inbound marketing methodology works and his concern was that it was not unique to his business problems and challenges.
His challenges were to increase awareness of his product and increase sales and leads.
I believe that your business won't succeed online in 2014 without a content marketing strategy.
According to research conducted by the Content Marketing Institute, 88% of UK businesses use content marketing but only 7% say that it is very effective.
Take a look at the slides below for more information.
Could it be that the strategy is not customised for their business?
I would say that it needs to be customised to the needs and wants of your customers. Your prospects and customers have a set of unique problems related to the products and services that you offer.
Let's look at this in greater detail below.
The Inbound Marketing Methodology is a proven way that turns your website visitors into leads and then customers. This methodology is based on consumer behaviour.
Your customers don't want to be marketed to anymore, they want to do the research themselves and make their own decisions about whether your product or services will solve their problems.
Inbound marketing's foundation is about being helpful and answering your customers' most asked questions and addressing their pain points.
This is no different to what your sales people have been doing in person for years.
The problems people have haven't changed but it's the way they seek out the answers that have.
So this is where the confusion sometimes comes from. CEOs like you hear this and think well that's not how our prospect's behave and this not unique to our problems.
Let me tell you straight, this is exactly how your prospects are behaving. I would agree that the methodology alone is not unique to you but the framework and strategy is.
You need structure. A content marketing framework will give you that structure. This for me is why only 7% of businesses are saying it is highly effective.
They create content on a whim and just talk about the latest news of their business.
They may even have a content calendar.
This doesn't interest your prospects.
You need a framework that you can build your unique business challenges around and create content that is unique to your business needs.
Although you have a common framework and methodology, the actual substance of the strategy is unique to your business. Learning more about what your customers' needs are and listening to the questions they have only makes your solution even more unique to your business.
By segmenting your audience you can personalise each piece of content and every email that you deliver so it talks specifically to the people who are most likely to buy your products.
For example, every email you send as part of your nurturing process will answer a unique question or address a unique pain point.
Your strategy is built around your unique sales process, as every business does this in a different way.
So you see, there is nothing generic about it at all.
There is an old saying that content is king but I like to think more of it as context is king. Although a framework or methodology may be used for many businesses, it is the content that you create to attract and engage only the people who are most likely to buy from you that is unique.
The questions you answer via email and social media will engage and connect only with your audience.
The ebooks and whitepapers that you create will only interest your buyers, prospects, customers and patients.
I am looking for your help with understanding the things that make you think that the marketing companies offer you are not unique to your problems.
What makes you think services are not unique to you?

It's been a stellar week in men's fashion with some of the biggest names in the business rolling out for red carpet events and more.
Frontrunners Tom Hiddleston, Tom Holland & Benedict Cumberbatch deserve this week's top mentions as they rolled onto the premiere of Avengers Infinity War in Seoul. Hiddleston opted for a striking three-piece suit in electric blue whilst Cumberbatch went down the marsala hue in a suede finish.
Young Tom Holland meanwhile kept things cool and casual with a Moncler overcoat worn over a white crew neck tee and black trousers. Remember men, do as Spidey does and always remember to keep those shoes polished.
The rest of the crowd features a diverse selection of guys in pared down suits like Antoni Porowski and Dale Moss, whilst old timers like Tim Gunn looked after the more traditional end of suiting.
Jason Donovan was a sole flyer of the tux whilst guys like Ruen showed us how to dress relaxed without looking like a drunk.
That's a wrap for another week in best dressed.

Playstation Vue Service Shutting Down
Sony's Playstation Vue launched on March 18, 2015. the service combines live TV, on-demand video, and cloud-based DVR to stream television programs, movies, and sporting events directly to a Playstation console or other supported device without a subscription to a cable or satellite television provider.
"Over four years ago, we made a bold decision to change the rules and revolutionize the traditional TV-viewing experience in the U.S. with PlayStation Vue," says SIE Deputy President, John Kodera. "We set the bar high and sought to innovate an established industry by delivering a modern TV experience. By completely rethinking live and on-demand television, we offered an incredible user experience that allowed viewers to discover and watch content in completely new ways."
October 29th Sony officially announced that they will shut down the PlayStation Vue service on January 30, 2020. They would further elaborate on how the highly competitive Pay TV industry, expensive content, and network deals have had a significantly negative impact on their service which led to the ultimate decision.
"Because of this, we have decided to remain focused on our core gaming business". says SIE Deputy President, John Kodera. Although the service has been announced to shut down early next year, fans can continue to access their movies and TV content until the last day.
In a closing statement, Kodera says "We are very proud of what PlayStation Vue was able to accomplish. We appreciate your continued support as we move through this transitional period and look toward the future."

When you decide to purchase a home, one of the first tasks is to talk to a couple of lenders and choose which lender and loan are best for you. With all the loan variables, this is often easier said than done and it's often quite difficult to compare one lender to another. If you've decided to work with a Realtor you're in luck as he or she will be a tremendous asset in determining which loan offers the best terms and represents the best option. Never the less, it won't hurt to have an understanding of the process and thus in this post, we'll discuss each of the various loan variables and what you'll want to consider.
1. Down Payment: In general, the amount you are able to put down will affect the interest rate you are offered. However, there is a point at which it does not matter how much more of a down payment you provide, and that point is usually either 20% or 30%, depending on the loan program. If you are looking for the best rate possible and have the ability to put down more, ask your lender if this would be advantageous.
2. Loan Life: The longer the term of the loan, the more you'll pay in total interest. In part, this is because you will have a better interest rate with the 15 year loan; for instance, today's rate from a large bank is 4.21% for a 15 year mortgage and 4.83% for a 30 year mortgage. The other reason you pay less interest over the life of the loan with a 15 year term is because you pay down your principle faster. An alternative for those seeking to pay less interest on their loan is to simply pay more into your mortgage each month and thus pay the loan down quicker. For example, on a 30-year $240,000 loan at 3.75%, if you pay $634 more per month (above and beyond your actual bill), you can end up paying the loan off in 15 years instead of 30. For many this is a better alternative as they can pay down their loan sooner however, they are not tied into and required to make the higher payment. Click here for information on additional of the types of loans including FHA, ARMs, Balloons, and more.
3. Property Taxes: It's recommended that consumers find out how much the monthly payment will be and whether it includes Principal, Interest, Taxes and Insurance (PITI). A monthly mortgage payment most likely includes amounts that go toward all four of these. Payments of principal and interest go directly toward repaying the loan and accrued interest. The taxes and insurance typically go into an escrow account so a lender can pay these fees when they are due. If taxes and interest are not collected, put into an escrow account, and paid by the lender, then the borrower is responsible for paying these amounts.
That said, when comparing lenders, this number should be included and should not vary because your property taxes are paid to the city, county, and state, not the lender. So, this number should be constant across all lenders. But, when you look at estimated payments from different lenders, the estimated taxes will vary because it is their best guesses at what the tax bill will be at the end of the year. The easiest way to compare the lenders is to just compare the principal plus interest and add in the same number for taxes. Essentially, you are standardizing the estimated payments between the lenders so that you can compare the actual rates. Another way of doing this comparison is to ignore the estimated payments and rather concentrate on the actual interest rate they are quoting you.
4. Insurance Rate: Like property taxes, insurance is an estimate that the lenders will make. They may estimate differently, so be sure to normalize this number across all the estimated payments.
5. Interest Rate: The interest rate is variable depending on your; credit score, income, and loan type. The higher the credit score, the better the rate. Lenders have cut-offs for what they consider to be above average, average, and low scores. Those who fall into the above-average group will get the best rates. Your income comes into play when they figure your debt-to-income ratio. This is basically a way to measure how much you are bringing in and how much you are spending. At some point, a lender will not allow you to create more debt for yourself than they think you can handle. That said, you know more about your spending habits and lifestyle than the lender does and thus you should consider what you want to handle and fell comfortable with. The loan type also has a heavy emphasis on your rate. Consumers need to know whether the loan being offered is a fixed-rate loan or an adjustable-rate loan. There are important differences. The interest on a fixed-rate loan does not change and the monthly payment stays the same for the life of the loan. With an adjustable-rate mortgage, the interest rate changes, or adjusts, from time to time. Some change each month, while others change less frequently. It's important to understand what the interest rate is, how often it may change, and the interest rate cap on the loan. If the interest rate goes up, the monthly payment will generally go up, too.
6. Points: Mortgage Points are paid by the borrower in order to buy down the interest rate. If you get some insanely low interest rate from one lender that seems completely out of whack from the other quotes, this might be because they are quoting you a rate with points. A point is equal to 1% of the loan amount, and you pay this point as part of your closing costs. So for example, with a loan for $240,000, one point would be $2,400 and that point might buy your interest rate of 3.75% down to 3.5%. Buying down your rate will lower your monthly payment but an analysis, considering ones intended length of ownership should be performed to determine if the payment of points makes sense in your situation.
When comparing lenders, make sure they all quote you a rate with no points. This levels the playing field so that you can determine who has the best rate without the hassle of having to do all kinds of calculations.
7. Closing Costs: In addition to points, the borrower pays 2-3% in loan-related closing costs. Buyers will sometimes negotiate for the seller to pay the closing costs, or if the seller is not willing to do so and the buyer cannot, or is not willing to cover this expense out of pocket, the closing costs can be factored into the loan. The majority of closing costs are lender fees. The closing costs include: the application fee, pulling of credit report fee, loan origination fees, appraisal fee, lawyer fees, application fee, and document preparation fees.
These are the main components of the loan to sort through and compare. The toughest part is to compare lenders and weigh out all the closing costs and points paid along with the interest rates. How do you compare one lender with a 3.75% interest rate with $5,000 in closing costs to another lender who has a 3.65% rate with $8,000 in closing costs? The rate is better but the closing costs are $3,000 higher, so which loan represents the best option? To compare this, the lender is required to provide you with the loan's Annual Percentage Rate (APR), which is the interest rate calculated with closing costs wrapped into it. As long as you are comparing two loans with the same lives and are putting the same amount down, the APR is the method for determining which lender is offering the better overall package.
An additional and final point to consider, does the loan have a prepayment penalty. If it does, early loan pay-off will mean the borrower must pay the penalty amount. Loans with prepayment penalties usually have lower interest rates than an identical loan without a penalty. Those who plan to stay in their home for a short-period of time should understand any prepayment penalties that may be associated with their loan. If borrowers need to pay off (or refinance) the loan before the penalty period expires, they will be responsible for paying the entire penalty.
Shop around. Keep looking until you find a loan provider whose rates and approach you like. This can be done face to face, or over the phone or internet, which ever you prefer.
If you're refinancing, ask your current lender about a "streamline" refinance. Your current lender may not require a credit check, a full appraisal and other services that charge fees. One caveat: Streamlines sometimes carry higher interest rates than you'd get if you start again. Do the math.
Keep asking questions until you feel comfortable, and don't sign anything until you feel confident.
Ads for no-cost mortgages are too good to be true: If you see an advertisement that says "no closing costs," what it means is they'll finance the closing costs for you. They just mean there's nothing out of pocket at closing.
Search for savings. Mortgage lenders and brokers are required by law to give you a Loan Estimate (LE) within three days after you apply for a loan. Many will give it to you earlier. The LE, which lists estimated fees you'll pay at settlement, is divided into sections. Look in Section C page two for fees that may be negotiable.
There's some wiggle room for negotiating this section. You may be able to whittle hundreds of dollars off your costs by informing your lender upfront that you'll secure title insurance on your own. You are not legally bound to use the lender's company, but you should make your intentions clear so they don't start a title search.
Haggle lightly. While you can quibble about every line item, experts say things will probably go more smoothly if you make it clear that you're a comparison shopper who is crunching all the numbers.

Coming out of my one-month break from actively seeking out new Mexican restaurants to review I knew I had to pick a good place to go to get back into the swing of things. Numerous places came to mind but the matter was settled when I found out from the OC Weekly that a second Taco Adobe had recently opened near the Orange Circle (CLICK HERE for information on the more well-known Mexican restaurant in the Orange Circle). Having always intended to make it to the original one on Main St. in Santa Ana I knew it was time to finally give Taco Adobe a try. Housed between an auto repair shop on the north and a radiator shop on the south Taco Adobe #2 serves up big, bold flavors from its small and humble edifice.
Going by the OC Weekly's recommendation I decided to order from Taco Adobe's specials menu. The Quesadilla Arizona, according to the board, is, "blackened chicken breast, spinach, avocado, blend of cheese, grilled onions and tomatoes. Served with mango salsa," on a flour tortilla. This was easily the chunkiest salsa I have ever experienced and that's the way I like it. It also had papaya and red onion in it and after my quesadilla was finished off I scooped up every last bit of the salsa with some of my remaining chips. The blackened chicken was sweet and interacted well with the spinach and avocado. I also liked the fact that the quesadilla wedges were dry on the outside so that I wasn't obliged to pick up a greasy mess with my bare hands. Don't know if I've mentioned it before but quesadillas that are otherwise good but are greasy messes on the outside are a pet peeve of mine.
If you want to make your meal a little more international Taco Adobe also has tiramisu and cheesecake for dessert.
I also made a weekend trip up to Utah where I went to Taco Time again and got pretty much the same food as I ordered the one other time I've been there and tried out Cafe Rio for the first time (might be posting pictures soon).
Non-Mexican eateries I've visited since the last roundup entry include: Daphne's Greek Cafe, Kabuki, Crepes de Paris (at the Irvine Spectrum but not even listed on the Spectrum's website), Taste of India, Green Parrot Cafe (which I wrote a review for at OC Food Blogs), Sugar Shack, Claim Jumper, Nordstrom Cafe, J&J's House of Subs, no ka oi, Royal St. Veranda, Cafe Orleans, Crab Cooker (which I also wrote a review for at OC Food Blogs), King's Hawaiian, Rumbi's Island Grill, The Cravery, Disney Soda Fountain and Studio Store, IKEA, Market Broiler, Merhaba (might be putting up some pictures from this East African restaurant at OC Food Blogs soon), Kappo Honda, Ruby's, and the DreamWorks campus cafeteria.
The Orange County Register today has a big article in their Food section called Pan-Latin local restaurants, which is supposed to be about how Mexican food is not the only Latin food to be found in the county but it still focuses a lot on Mexican food and has an especially big focus on Gabbi's Mexican Kitchen and Taleo Mexican Grill. Interesting that the five Mexican restaurants they mention are very close to the Top 5 most searched for Mexican restaurants at this blog.
And on another miscellaneous note I found out last night that a famous OC food blogger is now also writing food reviews for the OC Weekly. And that's all I'm going to say . . .
I don't get much mail. Actually, what I should say is that this site doesn't get as much e-mail as its traffic would suggest. So when I recently got two or three requests e-mailed to me to reassess El Farolito, and I didn't get any requests to reassess any other restaurant, then I took those requests seriously. One of those people who e-mailed me told me that there is even an El Farolito Jr. so I tried that one out just to mix things up a little, knowing that the menu was likely to be the same.
When I arrived at El Farolito Jr. in Anaheim my first thought was that it couldn't be any smaller than the original one in Placentia, and maybe it was even a little bigger. It looks a little like an old Western cowboy saloon from out front. And they score some extra points for their big sign that shows they are open to midnight. That's good for people like me who often eat dinner when most restaurants are closing for the night.
One of the other e-mails to me on this subject recommended that I try El Farolito's carnitas and to ask for them "crispy." I decided that I would stick with the recommendation so I didn't even need to look at the menu but I did anyways and found lots of other items to try on future visits. I must admit that the crispy carnitas were a taste treat, not too greasy and not too fatty, tender yet crunchy in just the right way. Beans and rice and salsa were all pretty standard.
My friend James ordered the chile relleno burrito and I told him that's what I had at El Farolito in Placentia a little over a year ago and he asked, "Is there a chile stem in it?" I had to tell him the story about how mine had three stems in it. He still ordered it anyways and didn't report finding any stems. His burrito is not pictured because my experience has shown me that all burritos look pretty much the same on the outside.
I mentioned before that I was going to go to last month's Newport Beach Film Festival but what I didn't know is that every NBFF movie I would end up going to would be at the Edwards Island Theater in Fashion Island so I was near the El Torito Grill there quite often that week. So I made two visits for dinner there that week, one after getting out of seeing John Wayne's The Sands of Iwo Jima and one before catching the screening of the documentary about the Orange County painter known as "Shag."
I was still trying to keep away from Mexican restaurants I'd never been to before but I've been to this one before without having reviewed it. And I'm always game to see what special items El Torito Grill might have so I popped in and tried out two excellent dishes from their specials menu that I've never had before: the Salmon a la Parilla and the Chocolate Crepes.
"Mesquite-grilled fresh salmon with tropical white rice, pineapple-mango salsa, jalapeño-butter sauce, chipotle balsamic reduction and sweet corn cake."
"Chocolate crepes filled with sauteed plantains and dulce de leche filling. Topped with dulce de leche ice cream, chipotle chocolate and vanilla sauce, cajeta, a fresh strawberry and a dollop of fresh cream and chopped nuts."
El Torito Grill now has its own website separate from the website for the regular El Torito chain (see top of this entry for the link). This newly redesigned website now even allows you to check what specials are available before you head over.
There was nothing I haven't had before but I love all these items. Familiarity won out this time.
This is without a doubt the longest lag time between me visiting a Mexican restaurant and eventually posting my review of it. I visited the Mario's in Huntington Beach last December for a Christmas get-together with a large group of people, took a number of pictures, and was hoping to make it back and get a few more pictures and post a review within a month. Well, circumstances being as they were I haven't been able to make it back there yet so I'm going to go ahead and at least post the photos I have.
Mario's is one of a small handful of places I remember going to in the mid-70's that is still around. They were recently honored as The Orange County Register's "Hidden Gem" among the county's Mexican restaurants. They are a three-store chain; all their locations are in Huntington Beach, two are simply called "Mario's" while the third one is called "Mario's Fiesta Maya." The location featured here is in Surf City's famous Loehmann's Five Points Plaza where Beach Boulevard ("Highway 39" as my grandmother used to call it), Main Street, and Ellis Avenue converge. It used to be its own separate building on the lot there along with a one-screen Edwards Theater, a supermarket, a liquor store, and not much else. In the early 80's the whole place was overhauled and turned into a two-wing strip mall with all the separate shops now squeezed together.

Having brought you a taste of what guests will be able to see and explore while on board the Aqua Mekong, we wanted to head back on deck with an update about the cuisine that Consulting Chef, David Thompson, has custom designed for our guests on the soon-to-launch vessel.
a Mekong guests, combining the culinary traditions of Southeast Asia with the freshest ingredients, sourced from local Mekong River markets and regional producers.
The extensive menu on board the Aqua Mekong will include local ingredients such as Khmer Kampot Pepper, Mekong River Prawns and Catfish, as well as fruits and vegetables from the markets of Saigon, Phnom Penh and Siem Reap. Among the many dishes on the bespoke menu are River Prawns with Ginger, Shallots, Tamarind and Palm Sugar served on Betel Leaves, and Cashew Nut Pudding with Coconut Cream.
Makes 10 leaves, enough for 2 or 3 people.
First, make the paste: gradually pound the paste ingredients together using a pestle and mortar, adding one by one, until quite smooth.
For the sauce, heat sugar with water. When dissolved, simmer for a minute or so before adding the paste and simmering until the sauce is quite thick and the fragrances of ginger, galangal and shrimp paste are evident. Make sure that you do not simmer it for too long – only a few minutes or so!
Now add the fish sauce, the shredded Thai coconut and ground peanuts, and simmer for a minute. Then add the tamarind water but do not simmer for too long after the tamarind has been added or it will scorch. Remove from the heat. When cooled a little, check the seasoning: it should taste sweet, rich, sour and salty.
At the very last moment, combine the remaining Miang ingredients (prawns, pomelo etc.) into the sauce and serve on the 'betel' leaves.

Hazard's strange cameo role
In Chelsea First Team

It looked like we'd stepped back in time at the start of Chelsea's hard-fought, and ultimately frustrating, clash with Liverpool on Sunday September 22 at the Bridge when the wrong giant banner was wheeled out to be manhandled across the Matthew Harding lower tier ahead of kick-off.
It saluted Eden Hazard – the player whose departure led to such hand-wringing and angst in close season, but whose departure is now summed up by a polite shrug as he struggles to settle in Spain.
'What the flipping heck is that?' chorused the Scousers at the Shed End as the baffling banner made its journey across the heads of the spectators below.
The match itself hinged (almost inevitably) on VAR. To the Reds' delight what at first looked like a perfectly good equaliser from captain Cesar Azpilicueta was ruled out for an obscure offside some time earlier.
Then, as the Blues' reeled in deflation at the news that Trent Alexander-Arnold's superb 15th minute opening free kick hadn't, in fact, been nullified, Liverpool took advantage of the sense of despair and scored a second via a Fabinho header from a second set-piece.
So a match which had appeared to be heading for 1-1 at the break suddenly became 0-2.
Despite a dazzling solo goal from the returning N'Golo Kante, Chelsea's pressure couldn't gain the all-important equaliser, and 1-2 it was at ref Michael Oliver's final whistle.
Six players were booked – three from each side – with Liverpool being repeated warned for time-wasting in the second half.
Chelsea First Team


Principal Commanders: [C] Lt. Gen. Jubal Early, Maj. Gen. Robert E. Rodes [U] Maj. Gen. Horatio Wright, Brig. Gen. George Crook, Col. Joseph Thoburn.
Forces Engaged: [C] Three infantry divisions under Gordon, Wharton, and Rodes, about 8,000, and at least 3 batteries;[U] Three infantry brigades of Crook's Corps (about 3,250 men), supported by batteries and a division of the VI Corps, about 5,000 engaged.
Significance: In the first weeks of July 1864, Lt. Gen. Jubal A. Early raided Maryland with an army of about 14,000 men, defeated a US force at the battle of Monocacy (9 July), and marched on Washington D.C. Confronted there on 12 July by US veterans diverted from the Army of the Potomac, Early retreated, crossing the Potomac River at White's Ferry and the Blue Ridge at Snickers Gap. Elements of three US corps (about 25,000 men) under overall command of Maj. Gen. Horatio Wright pursued and met Early's rear guard at the Shenandoah River crossing of Snickers Ferry near the farm of Cool Spring. Although brief in duration, the battle of Cool Spring was desperately fought, checking US pursuit for several days. The battle of Cool Spring (also known as Snickers Ferry or Parker's Ford) is representative of the division-sized engagements that occurred almost weekly throughout the remainder of the 1864 Valley Campaign, including Rutherford's Farm (20 July), Guard Hill (16 August), Abrams Creek (17 August), Cameron's Depot and Summit Point (21 August), Smithfield Crossing (29 August), and Berryville (3-4 September). These encounters led up to the decisive battle of Opequon (Third Winchester) on 19 September.
Skirmishing at Snickers Ford (17 July): On the afternoon of 17 July 1864, the US cavalry division of Alfred Duffi' reached Snickers Ford and attempted to force a crossing of the Shenandoah River. Two regiments of CS infantry supported by two pieces of artillery positioned on North Hill overlooking the ford repulsed the attempt. US cavalry then tried to cross at Shepherd's Ford about two miles south but were repulsed by CS cavalry of Vaughn's brigade. During the night, Duffi' continued south along the river, leaving a smaller force to picket the fords. On the morning of 18 July, US cavalry pickets, supported by Mulligan's brigade of infantry (Crook's corps) again attempted a crossing at Snickers Ford but were repulsed.
Advance of US Infantry (18 July): Col. Thoburn's division of Crook's Corps, followed by the VI Corps arrived on the Berryville Pike (current rte. 7) from their bivouac near Purcellville. Union generals Wright, Emory, and Crook conferred on River Hill, where they established a signal station and brought up a battery of artillery. It was assumed that General Early's CS army was in retreat to Winchester and that the ford was defended only by cavalry. Because the attempted crossing at Snickers Ford in the morning had been unsuccessful, the US commanders decided to cross a division one mile downstream. The infantry diverged from the main road onto a rocky cart road that led to Judge Parker's house, mill, and ford. The intervening hills disguised the movement from the CS pickets on the west bank of the river.
River Crossing (18 July): About 1500 hours, Thoburn's 3,250 infantrymen forced CS skirmishers back from Parker's Ford and crossed the shallow river at a number of places across and between the islands. Once on the west bank, US skirmishers fanned out across the Cool Spring farm, while the main body deployed along a rise about 100 yards from the river in the midst of a large wheatfield. Commands regrouped after the crossing and prepared to move south to uncover Snickers Ford. Captured Confederates, however, revealed that the island fords had been defended by infantry and that Early's army was nearby. Thoburn alerted his superiors on River Hill (by signal flag and courier) and awaited further instructions. He was told that he would be supported by a division of the VI Corps, which had begun to arrive on the east bank near the Parker House.
CS Response (18 July): In response to Thoburn's crossing (or in anticipation of it) Maj. Gen. John B. Gordon's division advanced along the Berryville Pike from its bivouac at Webbtown. Gordon deployed along the river bluffs north and south of North Hill. Simultaneously, Brig. Gen. Gabriel Wharton's division moved toward Cool Spring from its bivouac near Wickliffe Church. Wharton deployed in line of battle and advanced on Cool Spring forcing back the US skirmishers to their main line near the river. Maj. Gen. Robert E. Rodes's division was farther north at Gaylord but was set in motion to come up on the left of Wharton. Skirmishing extended along Wharton's and Gordon's fronts.
Rodes's Flank Attack (18 July): Colonel Thoburn was now aware of his precarious position but hoped to hold out until reinforced or withdrawn after dark. Rodes's division arrived from Wickliffe Church, moving through ravines and behind the grove at Westwood which concealed the movement of the troops until they were within striking distance of Thoburn's contracted line. Rodes deployed to Wharton's left, his line bending in an arc almost at right angles to the river and the US right flank. About 1800 hours Rodes threw his division forward on a compact front, surprising and crushing the US right.
Thoburn sent the 116th Ohio to reinforce his right as both sides struggled for possession of a stone fence that bisected the wheatfield. A second CS attack drove US forces back to another stone fence along the river bank. There, they held out against a third desperate CS attack that came near to driving them into the river. Three batteries of Union artillery came into play from the heights on the east bank. A division of the VI Corps deployed on the east bank and engaged in sharpshooting, but it was not sent across the river. Three batteries of CS artillery supported Rodes's attack. Colonel Owens, commanding a CS brigade was mortally wounded. The bulk of the almost 850 casualties of the battle occurred at this time and littered the wheatfield.
US Withdrawal (18 July): The Union line held out until dark, then began to recross the river unmolested by CS infantry. An artillery duel broke out across the river. US and CS batteries fired at each others' positions, guided by the flashes of discharge and explosion. When US infantry was safely on the east bank, the artillery fire tapered off, ending about 2100 hours. Later CS skirmishers advanced to the river, finding the Union line abandoned. CS units spread out across the field to tend to the wounded of both sides. General Crook was angered that Thoburn's command had been left to their own devices without being reinforced by the VI Corps, which was at hand.
Aftermath: The battle was a Confederate victory. Wright had sent a small force against a well reinforced Confederate position without the aid of cavalry because he mistakenly assumed it was only the pickets of Early's rearguard. Thoburn's force paid dearly for the mistake. Still, Thoburn's judicious use of terrain and lack of coordination on the Confederate side allowed Thoburn to stave off a full routing of his troops and thus was able to minimize his casualties. The following day: both armies remained in the same positions as the night before and engaged in little fighting. Gen. Hunter, however, took the initiative and sent a force out from Harpers Ferry to pressure Early's left from the north.

Calico Creek Stables: Horse Boarding in Las Vegas
Sitting in the beautiful Calico Basin in Las Vegas, Nevada is the Calico Creek Stables. It is a horse boarding spot with miles of trails perfect for both training and recreation. The trail ride also gives guests access to the red rock national conservation area.
Calico Creek Stables gained good reviews from its guests because of many things. Some of these are the fun and friendly atmosphere it gives, the stable's well-maintained grass, and all of its other facilities.
Primary Breeds
Calico Creek Stables offers different breeds of horses for sale. Below are only a few mares and geldings that are available for purchase.
Purebred Arabian Mare
The 900-pound black Arabian mare has impressive records under her belt. Her ability as a strong competitor is topped with her potential to become a strong broodmare. The rate of this Purebred Arabian Mare is currently at $5,000.
Gorgeous Royally Bred Colt
Also, with the Arabian breed, the Colt has several skills and disciplines that make it an equally fierce competitor. It is versatile in ranches, a sport horse, jumper, and hunter among the many. Orion's father is a 10x National Champion, and the mother is a Scottsdale Champion.
These are only a few of the reasons why the Colt is innately a supreme athlete. This is apart from the Colt being a halter prospect and a future her sire at the same time. The Gorgeous Royally Bred Colty is available at $3,700.
Black Arabians
The Black Arabian Filly is good for breeding, a hunter and halter at the same time. The Filly also has an impressive endurance among its skills and disciplines. An excellent selection of young stock and breeding stock is available at the rate of $7,500 and up.
Chestnut Haflinger Gelding
At the rate of $6,500, one can buy Willy, a Chestnut Haflinger Gelding. Willy is an all-around pick that finds it easy to get along with people and other horses. The gelding also has a lot of experience in trails and arenas.
Sister Haflinger Mare
The 1000-pound team Matty and Molly are sisters a year apart. Complete with shots, the two form a great team together. For interested buyers, they can be bought at $6,500.
Missouri Fox Trotters
Blue Papered Missouri Fox Trotter Mare
Having the training to park and receive commands, this Blue Papered Missouri Fox Trotter Mare is also well-bred. She will surely greet anyone pleasantly as she loves any attention she receives. In a price that is right to sell, the mare is at $6,500.
Specialized Disciplines
Aside from selling different breeds of horses, Calico Creek Boarding Stable also offers several disciplines that are open for its guests to witness and enjoy.
Though it can be highly frustrating at times, it can also be equally rewarding for a beginner to learn to ride a horse. Calico Creek Boarding Stable offers training for beginners among its specialized disciplines.
Among the many things it teaches, the guest needs to know how to care for the horse. What follows next are the grooming and leading, and as well as finding the right equipment for it. It is also in this stage where one must learn how to saddle up the horse and mount the saddle accurately.
Natural horsemanship can get as impressive as it may seem. In this discipline, one works with horses based on their instincts. The individual also gives attention to the horse's method of communication.
Through the discipline of natural horsemanship, one can realize how horses learn from pressure and the release of it, and not through the use of fear or pain. There are five (5) basic psychology concepts of this discipline, and all can be learned in Calico Creek Boarding Stable.
As a competitive class of discipline, it shows how both horses and riders in Western-style attires go through and navigate a series of obstacles in a particular area. In trails, contestants ride the entire course one at a time.
These are often in designs that a rider and its horse might encounter when in the latter's natural habitat. The boarding stable offers training in the said discipline.
As horses may often display some problems in their behavior, it is equally essential for its rider to diagnose and solve it. It is by their nature to turn to humans whenever they are faced with problems they cannot solve on their own. Thus, it is the responsibility of the owner or the rider to address these concerns.
Calico Creek Boarding Stable offers natural horsemanship training. If interested, one can train with Mike Paparo and Veronica Warren. The training was formulated with Dennis Reis' thirty (30) years of experience. This will help one achieve its goals, whether as a starter, finisher, in touch-ups, or even problem-solving.
The stable has a total of thirty-five (35) boarding stables at present. For boarding services, the rate is at $385, due every month.
Trail Access
Calico Creek Stables also offers trail access to its guests. Availing the service entitles the guest access to the scenic view of the beautiful Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area. This comes in the miles of scenic riding suitable for all levels.
In the trail, one can see different views such as waterfalls, meadows, caves, an abundance of wildlife in petroglyphs, and even access to climbing the top of a mountain.
The boarding stable also offers other services guests can enjoy. Apart from horseback riding, riding lessons are also available, as well as riding clinics. Finally, Calico Creek also has its riding arena.

Q: UITableView contentOffset behaving oddly I have a UIViewController which has multiple UIViews that enter from off the screen. Rather than initializing and designing all those UIViews in the UIViewController, I created separate nib files with corresponding .h/.m files which just get preloaded.
In one of the custom UIViews, I have a UITableView with a header UIView. I'm trying to have this header hidden under another component I have in the original UIViewController that this UIView will slide into. I initially worked this out using a sample project with [self.tableView setContentOffset:CGPointMake(0, 44) animated:NO];, but that was just in a UITableViewController.
For some reason, this does not work for a subclassed UIView. I've tried setting the tableView's content offset in both - (id)initWithCoder:(NSCoder *)aDecoder and - (void)layoutSubviews and I've been checking whether the offset was actually set in tableView:cellForRowAtIndexPath: by
NSLog(@"tableView Content Offset: %@", NSStringFromCGPoint(self.tableView.contentOffset));

but it just returns
tableView Content Offset: {0, 0}
The interesting thing is that if I set the contentOffset in tableView:cellForRowAtIndexPath: it works! But I know I shouldn't be setting it there. Could someone explain to me where and how I should be implementing this when loading a UITableView from a custom nib which is only a subclassed UIView? I can post all the code if you think it'll help.
Additional Info:
Question: how are you loading the view from the nib ? –  MAB
UIView *newView = [[[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:@"ProfileCostTableViewController" owner:self options:nil] objectAtIndex:0];

A: I subclassed UITableView to see when the contentOffset is being rest to {0,0}. it seems its a call in ios7 from the private method : _adjustContentOffsetIfNecessary. Since this method is not documented I don't see how to prevent it from changing the offset, so I think the workaround is to change the offset after a delay or in - (int) tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section.

A: You're adding your view using addSubview: which triggers the methods: - (void)willMoveToSuperview:(UIView *)newSuperview I think if you put your code there it should work.


My laptop broke somehow 😢 so I'm bummed I can't type up posts on there. I so hope it can be fixed. My pictures!!!
Z turned one. We are lame and did absolutely nothing for his birthday since we had the joint party for him and T in October. Bless his heart. He's 54 weeks now and has already cut 3 of his 2 year molars. They have been sheer misery coming in but only 1 more to go! Poor baby with his swollen sore gums. 😩 He's been waking at night and needing snuggles to fall asleep again a few nights a week now. This morning he woke up in my bed and was all smiles. 😊 He kept laying his fuzzy little head on DH's chest and smiling. Z is about to need a haircut soon already. His hair is so soft and fuzzy. I love to feel his little head against my cheek.
We had a great Thanksgiving. We saw DH's family on the day and my extended family on Saturday. Tomorrow we plan to have a small dinner with my parents. My brother is home visiting after being gone 6 months. We don't know how long he will be here before he leaves again, so we are trying to have some time with him.
Speaking of hair, I got my hair done today with refreshed highlights and some lowlights. It feels like a good pick-me-up now that the weather is so cold and blah. I also went shopping with my sister M to find some snow pants for T. We've had snow the last few days and the boys are super excited to be out there playing!
DH took the week off to enjoy some time going hunting. He got a buck this week, so our freezer will be restocked for the year. 🙂 He stayed home with the boys the other day while I went grocery shopping. I came home to find them huddled around a pretend campfire (toy logs in a plastic bed riser)🤣, with a blanket fort that spanned the entire family room and used all the kitchen chairs and almost every blanket in the house. (I wish I had a picture!) They were roasting fake marshmallows on colored pencils over their *fire* and this is almost certainly going to go down as T and L's favorite memory of 2018. 😆 Never underestimate the simple things in the life of your child!
We all had a cold last week but we are better now. We started taking elderberry syrup to see if we can stay healthy this winter. Here's hoping!!
What has everyone else been doing?

I do not see any download or HDInsight solution file or HDInsight SDK zip file.
Could you please help me on this?

A: You can go to http://hadoopsdk.codeplex.com/SourceControl/latest#readme.md and click 'Download', not 'DOWNLOADS'.
