Unequal Appraisal? You Can Use Comparable Sales to Help!
Are you upset about your rising property taxes? You are not alone!
While all property owners agree that property taxes are too high, owners become particularly incensed when property taxes are assessed unfairly. Owners don't mind paying their fair share, but it is unacceptable to pay more than other owners pay for similar properties.
So you may be asking, what is the potential? Example Below:
Gary owns an apartment complex, which in 2002 was assessed for $3 million.The 2003 assessment was increased to $5 million.
The net operating income for the property supports a value in excess of $5 million; however, the assessments for similar properties support a value of approximately $3 million, based on a per unit basis. Gary's tax consultant compiled information on the assessment comparables that supported a value of $3 million and presented this information to the Appraisal Review Board (ARB).
The ARB panel members asked why the tax consultant did not present information on the income and expense for the property. The tax consultant replied that the market value was not at issue in this appeal; the issue was uniform and equal. After considering the assessment comparables, the panel concluded to a value of $4 million, which generated tax savings of approximately $30,000 for Gary in 2003.
What is Uniform and Equal?
Appealing under equity or uniform and equal essentially involves using a reasonable number of appropriately adjusted comparable properties. The subject property should be assessed for the median level of the comparables after adjustment. The technical aspects of this will be discussed later in this article. However, the essence of an equity appeal is to contrast your assessed value with the assessed value for similar properties.
Benefits of an Equity Appeal
Using assessment comparables to reduce your property taxes can be an effective and cost efficient tool. It increases the number of appeal options by at least double and perhaps six-fold. Equity provides meaningful help when the assessed value is less than or equal to the market value of the property. When meaningful evidence is presented on inequitable assessment, fairness does not need much explanation. For example, if your tract of land is assessed at $4 per square foot and an adjoining parcel with similar functional utility is assessed for $2 per square foot, a tax assessor or appraisal review board member can readily understand an adjustment is warranted.
In addition the appraisal district has the burden of proof at an administrative hearing. Whether it is on market value or on equity, you do not have to be an appraiser to prepare or understand an equity analysis. Most owners have historically utilized only an appeal on market value at the informal level of appeal. This essentially gives them only one of six appeal opportunities. Using uniform and equal and using the three appeal levels (informal hearing, appraisal review board hearing and judicial appeal) gives the owner six options to appeal property taxes annually. One setback to appealing on equity is that it can be time consuming to gather and summarize information on assessment comparables.
The six appeal options are summarized below:
Level of Appeal Type of Appeal
Informal hearing
Judicial Appeal Market Value
Market Value Unequal Appraisal
Unequal Appraisal
Further, the value of an account cannot be raised during a judicial appeal that is based upon equity. However, the value can be raised on a judicial appeal based upon market value. Hence appealing on equity gives the owner only up-side and no down-side during the judicial appeal process.
History on Equity
When President Bush was campaigning for governor of Texas in 1996, he made property tax reform one of the key items in his campaign. During 1997, the Texas Legislature passed numerous meaningful changes to the Texas Property Tax Code. These included amending the Code to allow uniform and equal (equity) appeals at both the administrative hearings and judicial appeals.
The legislature effectively wrote the code for judicial appeals but the drafting was unclear regarding equity appeals at the administrative levels (informal hearing and appraisal review board hearing). Subsequently the central appraisal districts generally vigorously fought judicial appeals on equity until 2001 when the Texas Appeals Court ruled in favor of property owners and the Texas Supreme Court declined to hear the case.
Even after the Texas Supreme Court spoke on fairness and taxation, most appraisal districts still declined to consider equity at the administrative appeal process. The typical comment during an administrative appeal on equity was, "You can sue us to get your taxes assessed equitably, but we can't consider this information at the administrative hearings."
Nevertheless, many appraisal review boards have been considering uniform and equal for the last several years.
A New Dawn in Texas Property Taxes
The 2003 Texas legislature clarified the Texas Property Tax Code to confirm that property owners can appeal using uniform and equal at the administrative hearings. This will dramatically change the tax appeal process at the administrative level in 2004 and beyond.
When Equity Appeals can be Helpful
Equity appeals are helpful when properties are unequally assessed. A surprising number of properties are unequally assessed. Single-family properties tend to be more consistently assessed. However, apartments and commercial have a high level of dispersion of assessed values for properties which are similar in size, age and location.
"Sales chasing" occurs when an appraisal district focuses on assessing only an individual property at its sales price and not re-assessing other properties in the submarket. When an owner is a victim of sales chasing, equity can be a particularly effective defense methodology.
Equity can also be helpful for new construction. The appraisal district tends to value all properties at construction costs; however, in many cases the market value of a new property is less than construction costs. This can occur because of economic obsolescence which has occurred in Houston due to overbuilding or to a value-in-use issue such as a restaurant or bank building developed in a special architectural format and motif for a particular business enterprise.
Equity appeals can also be very helpful when the market value is greater than the assessed value, and an appeal on market value would not be appropriate or productive.
Finally, appeals on equity can be helpful when the owner or the tax consultant does not have ready access to market value information such as profit and loss statements or rent rolls, but can compile information on assessment comparables for an equity appeal.
Preparing an Equity Analysis
An equity analysis can be prepared for either the land only or for the overall property. A land equity analysis can be prepared regardless of whether the property is improved or vacant land. Appraisal district staff and appraisal review board members both seem receptive to the concept of land equity. It is straightforward, clear and easy to understand, especially when similar adjacent parcels are assessed dissimilarly.
An overall equity analysis considers the total assessed value for the property compared to a reasonable number of comparable properties that are appropriately adjusted for differences such as size and age. Making adjustments complies more strictly with the Texas Property Tax Code, but in some cases appraisers and ARB panels are more comfortable with unadjusted data. Adjustments are further discussed later in this article.
Land Equity Analysis
To prepare a land equity analysis, research the assessed value for the land component of your property and of other properties which are on the same street. While it is possible to argue that land assessment comparables on another street are comparable, it is much more straightforward and clearly understood when the parcels are on the same street. Consider preparing a plat showing the assessed value per square foot of the subject property and the assessed value per square foot of adjoining properties.
In addition, prepare a summary table listing the property location, key map code (or Mapsco), size in square feet, current year assessed value and assessed value per square foot. In many cases, it is appropriate to propose an appropriate assessed value for the subject land by multiplying the proposed per square foot assessed value times the square feet of land for the subject tract. Consider the following equity analysis for a subject property at 1000 Smith Street:
1000 Smith St.
1025 Smith St. KMC
497J Sq. Feet
100,000 Assessed Value
$80,000 AV/PSF
Median AV/PSF for similar properties is $0.50
100,000 sq. ft x $0.50 = $50,000 recommended assessment based on equity
Preparing a Building Equity Analysis
The Texas Property Tax Code as revised in 2003 (Section 41.43 (b)) for appeals on equity in the administrative hearings is as follows:
(b) A protest on the ground of unequal appraisal of property shall be determined in favor of the protesting party unless the appraisal district establishes that… the appraised value of the property is equal to or less than the median appraised value of a reasonable number of comparable properties appropriately adjusted.
The primary issue is selection of a reasonable number of appropriately adjusted comparables. The first step is to locate a group of comparables to consider. As a property owner, you likely are aware of your direct and indirect competitors. Most presentations on equity use five to ten comparables.
In some cases it is appropriate to use more and in some cases there are not as many as five comparable properties which are reasonably proximate. Determining the reasonable number of comparables depends on judgement and the fact situation.
Making appropriate adjustments is a combination of art and science. Real estate appraisers typically make adjustments in the sales comparison approach to adjust for differences in size and age. Preparing an equity analysis for a tax appeal which includes adjustments on age and size is reasonable and appropriate. If the comparables are similarly located and similar in regard to size and age, the economic characteristics should generally be similar.
Any differences in economic characteristics are likely the result of business enterprise value as opposed to the value of the apparent real estate. The business enterprise value is not subject to property taxes.
The final step is to prepare a summary of the subject property and the assessment comparables with or without adjustments. In some cases the owners may elect not to make adjustments to the assessment comparables since it takes time and in many cases the appraisal district staff and appraisal review board members can make their own determinations about which comparables are most appropriate and should be given greater emphasis in assessing the subject property. When there are many comparables available, care and judgement should be exercised to find the comparables which are best suited for the analysis.
Practical Applications and Their Impact
Equity appeals are a cost efficient and effective way to reduce and minimize property taxes. For owners who have recently purchased property, the appraisal district may press for a copy of the closing statements. This seems inappropriate and inconsistent with the concept of equity. While one could understand why a closing statement is relevant to a market value appeal, it is inconsistent with and antithetical to an appeal on equity.
In some cases, owners may need to provide the closing statement to continue the appeal process even if the closing statement indicates a value higher than the assessed value. However, most appraisal review boards are reasonable and will consider information on equity even if the purchase price supports a higher value. It may not make sense to provide the closing statement if the purchase price is dramatically higher than the current assessed value and an equity appeal supports only a modest reduction in property taxes.
The use of uniform and equal, or appeals on equity, at the administrative hearing process will dramatically change property tax appeals. If you do not consider an appeal on equity for 2004 property taxes on your investment property or home, you will probably overpay your property taxes. This dramatic change in property taxation will cause some chaos as the central appraisal districts work to adapt and consider this new avenue of appeal. There will be varied acceptance of equity appeals among appraisal districts and between the informal, appraisal review board and the judicial appeal phases within individual appraisal districts.
For example, some large appraisal districts are still saying "We don't use that equity stuff," for judicial appeals even though the Texas legislature passed the equity provision for judicial appeal seven years ago and it has been affirmed by the Texas Supreme Court.
Equity should be considered for all appeals, both at the administrative and judicial appeal levels. Although the Texas legislature has provided property owners six options to appeal property taxes most owners still only use one option (market value appeal at the informal hearing). Using the other five appeal options will result in lower property taxes.
Judicial Appeals on Equity
Many owners of income property have been reticent to file judicial appeals for property taxes. Regrettably, it is not practical for most property owners to ascertain whether their property is equitably assessed or not until after the administrative hearings have been completed. Many properties are inequitably assessed when the initial noticed values are determined.
The level of inequity tends to increase during the hearing process because of the differences in appraisers and appraisal review boards. While all the parties are attempting to do the right thing, results can be inconsistent when human judgement is applied. For owners of large income properties, a judicial appeal on equity can be an especially appropriate and effective remedy to minimize property taxes.
The change on equity passed by the 2003 Texas legislature has launched a new era in tax appeals. The ability to appeal on either equity or market value doubles options for appeal. Equity appeals will quench some of the dissatisfaction on property tax. No one wants to pay high property taxes but owners bitterly resent being assessed unfairly and unequally. However, most appraisal districts in the recent past have declined to discuss the level of assessment for neighboring properties at appeal hearings.
Appeals on equity can be challenging to prepare in volume. You should discuss your consultant's ability to prepare equity appeals and their plan to implement them before the 2004 tax appeal season. Implementing appeals on equity will be challenging and difficult both for tax consultants, owners and for the appraisal district staff. It will be a major adjustment for the staff at central appraisal districts.
However, it presents an incredible opportunity for owners to reduce property taxes. Equity provides a good opportunity for tax reduction even when the market value is higher than the assessed value.

New Zealand has one of the world's oldest continuously functioning parliaments. Māori were represented in Parliament from 1867, and in 1893 women gained the vote. For much of the 20th century two parties dominated Parliament, but the introduction of proportional representation in 1996 has led to coalition and minority governments.

Parliament is where New Zealand's elected representatives meet to pass laws, and oversee the government and approve funding for it. Parliament consists of the House of Representatives (an assembly of elected MPs) and the governor-general (the Queen's representative).
The speaker of the House chairs MPs' meetings and rules on parliamentary procedure. MPs sit around a central table in the debating chamber, with the most highly ranked on the front benches and others on the back benches.
After an election, the governor-general opens Parliament. The government works through Parliament to pass laws that support its policies. The opposition (all parties not in power) usually opposes government policies and questions government actions.
Debates are transcribed and published in Hansard. The Budget (government financial statement of intentions) is the main event of the year.
Select committees are made up of MPs from all parties. They look into different subjects.
Before a law is passed, it is called a bill – once it is passed, it is an act of Parliament. To be passed, bills are 'read' (debated) three times in the House.
The public can visit Parliament or watch sessions on live television. Journalists in the press gallery report on what happens. Citizens can petition Parliament on any topic, or make submissions to select committees.
From 1840 New Zealand was a British colony. In 1852 Britain granted New Zealand responsible government, and Parliament was set up in 1854. It was bicameral – it had a lower House of Representatives of elected MPs and an upper chamber (the Legislative Council) of members appointed for life. The Legislative Council was abolished in 1951.
From 1867 Māori men aged 21 and over could vote for four Māori MPs. In 1893 New Zealand became the first country to give women the vote. From 1919 women could stand for Parliament, and the first woman MP was elected in 1933.
The first political party – the Liberals – was set up in the 1890s. In the 20th century the Labour and National parties dominated Parliament.
Since 1996 elections have been held under the mixed-member proportional representation (MMP) system. Each voter has two votes – one for a local MP and one for a party. After an election, the majority party forms a government – or a party forms a coalition or agreement with smaller parties.
In the 2000s around a third of MPs were women, and a growing number were Māori, Pacific Island or Asian. In 1997 Jenny Shipley was the first woman prime minister, and in 1999 Helen Clark became the first elected woman prime minister.

Memory address of the scheduler. Is not nullable.
ID of the node that the scheduler belongs to, also known as the parent node. This represents a nonuniform memory access (NUMA) node. Is not nullable.
ID of the scheduler. All schedulers that are used to run regular queries have ID numbers less than 1048576. Those schedulers that have IDs greater than or equal to 1048576 are used internally by SQL Server, such as the dedicated administrator connection scheduler. Is not nullable.
CPU ID assigned to the scheduler.
255 does not indicate no affinity as it did in SQL Server 2005. See sys.dm_os_threads (Transact-SQL) for additional affinity information.
If SQL Server is configured to use only some of the available processors on the server, this configuration can mean that some schedulers are mapped to processors that are not in the affinity mask. If that is the case, this column returns 0. This value means that the scheduler is not being used to process queries or batches.
1 = Scheduler is idle. No workers are currently running. Is not nullable.
Number of times that workers on this scheduler have switched to the preemptive mode.
Number of context switches that have occurred on this scheduler. Is not nullable.
If a worker yields the scheduler and puts itself into the runnable queue and then finds no other workers, the worker will select itself. In this case, the context_switches_count is not updated, but the yield_count is updated.
Number of times the scheduler has been waiting for an event while idle. This column is similar to context_switches_count. Is not nullable.
Tasks that are waiting for a worker to execute them.
Tasks that are currently waiting or running (in SUSPENDED or RUNNABLE state).
Number of workers, with tasks assigned to them, that are waiting to be scheduled on the runnable queue. Is not nullable.
Number of workers that are associated with this scheduler. This count includes workers that are not assigned any task. Is not nullable.
Number of workers that are active. An active worker is never preemptive, must have an associated task, and is either running, runnable, or suspended. Is not nullable.
Number of tasks in the pending queue. These tasks are waiting for a worker to pick them up. Is not nullable.
Number of pending I/Os that are waiting to be completed. Each scheduler has a list of pending I/Os that are checked to determine whether they have been completed every time there is a context switch. The count is incremented when the request is inserted. This count is decremented when the request is completed. This number does not indicate the state of the I/Os. Is not nullable.
Internal value that indicates the perceived load on this scheduler. This value is used to determine whether a new task should be put on this scheduler or another scheduler. This value is useful for debugging purposes when it appears that schedulers are not evenly loaded. The routing decision is made based on the load on the scheduler. SQL Server also uses a load factor of nodes and schedulers to help determine the best location to acquire resources. When a task is enqueued, the load factor is increased. When a task is completed, the load factor is decreased. Using the load factors helps SQL Server OS balance the work load better. Is not nullable.
Internal value that is used to indicate progress on this scheduler. This value is used by the Scheduler Monitor to determine whether a worker on the scheduler is not yielding to other workers on time. This value does not indicate that the worker or task transitioned to a new worker. Is not nullable.
In CPU ticks, the last time that the scheduler timer queue was checked by the scheduler. Is not nullable.
Set to 1 if a new worker could not be created on this scheduler. This generally occurs because of memory constraints. Is nullable.

Emerson is our big, giant, goofy boy. He makes us smile every day with his antics as he is an overgrown puppy that loves to play. He is full of life and energy and he loves to lay on his back with his legs sticking up in the air! Emerson is the watch dog in the house. At the slightest noise he is up off the bed, out the pet door and onto the property investigating whatever sounds he heard. He came to us at the age of 15 months and in just four days of lure coursing picked up his AKC Field Champion title. He is also shaping up to be a great racer. One day he managed to break away from Todd while we were waiting for the lure to be re-strung. Instead of racing after the lure or taking off for a little joy ride he went right to the starting boxes and started howling and scratching at the box to be let in!!!
At the end of 2010 Emerson was ranked in the top 15 in the nation for Pharaoh Hounds running LGRA. What an accomplishment for such a youngster. With his career just starting he quickly moved up in the rankings. See below for some of Emerson's fantastic accomplishments over the years!

Delhi- Agra- Fatehpur Sikri-Jaipur - Delhi
03 Days Delhi Agra Jaipur Trip is meant for those travellers who are either staying in Delhi or reaching Delhi early in the morning (around 9 am) and wish to visit major highlights of Delhi, Agra and Jaipur in a short span of three days. This Golden Triangle Trip ensures that the tourist enjoys exotic India experiences like manual rickshaw ride in old Delhi, horse carriage ride in Agra and elephant ride at Amber Fort Jaipur, without compromising on sightseeing. The tour can be customized and is available for individuals, couple and family as private tour and for groups as well.
Day 1 Half day Delhi sightseeing - Agra
As you are already in New Delhi or can reach conveniently New Delhi during morning hours, the itinerary has been chalked out as per this assumption. It obviates stay in Delhi and, thus, helps in optimizing cost as well. On arrival at New Delhi airport, you will be greeted & assisted by Optima Travels' representative. Optima Travels representative will meet you holding a placard with your name on it at the exit.
Delhi is the capital of India and its political and cultural center. Located on the banks of the River Yamuna, Delhi has been continuously inhabited since at least the 6th century BCE. Delhi emerged as a major political, cultural and commercial city along the trade routes between northwest India and the Gangetic plain. It is the site of many ancient and medieval monuments, archaeological sites and remains. When India gained independence from British rule in 1947, New Delhi was declared its capital and seat of government. Owing to the migration of people from across the country, Delhi has grown to be a multicultural, cosmopolitan metropolis.
Today itself, you will be driven to Agra but before that you will be visiting several important monuments, places and markets of Delhi. Delhi tour guide will meet you at the airport or on the way to the first monument's visit. Along with tour guide, proceed to visit prime tourist attractions of Old Delhi which include Red Fort (from outside), Jama Masjid (Friday Mosque), Chandni Chowk & Raj Ghat.
Red Fort: In 1647 the Red Fort - Delhi's 7th fort-was built by Shahjahan. The Red Fort is the site from which the Prime Minister of India addresses the nation on Independence Day.
Jama Masjid: The Jama Masjid, the largest mosque of India, built between 1644 and 1658.It is one of the last architectural works of the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan. The cabinet in the north gate of the Jama Masjid contains a collection of Muhammad's relics - the Koran written on deerskin, a red beard-hair of the prophet, his sandals and his footprints, implanted in a marble block. Chandni Chowk: One of the most prominent wholesale and retail markets of India, Chandni Chowk is more than 300 years old. It was established in 1650, when Mughal Emperor Shahjahan shifted his capital from Agra to Delhi, as an accompaniment to the fort.

After visiting famous monuments of Delhi, late afternoon you will be driven to Agra. On arrival at Agra, you will be transferred to Agra hotel.
Agra is a city in the north Indian state of Uttar Pradesh, some 200 km from the Indian capital city of Delhi. Agra has three UNESCO World Heritage sites, the Taj Mahal and the Agra Fort in the city and Fatehpur Sikri nearby. The sites are some of the wonders of the world and no trip to India is complete without at least one visit to the Taj. The earliest reference to Agra is in the ancient epic, the Mahabharata, while Ptolemy was the first person to call it by its modern name.
On arrival at Agra, Optima Travels' representative will receive you and transfer you to Agra hotel. Our representative will ensure smooth check in at the pre-booked Agra hotel. Have relaxed overnight stay in Agra hotel.
Day 2 Agra sightseeing tour – Fatehpur Sikri-Jaipur
In the very early morning, approximately around dawn hours, you will be taken by Agra tour guide to Taj Mahal. The time of sunrise has been purposefully chosen so that you could see the Taj Mahal when it looks most stunning and beautiful. Visit the world famous Taj Mahal. Do keep in mind that Taj Mahal remains closed for visitors on Friday.
Taj Mahal's construction started in the year 1631 and took approximately 22 years to build it. An epitome of love, it made use of the services of 22,000 laborers and 1,000 elephants. It was built entirely out of white Makrana marble. Built By: Shah Jahan; Dedicated to: Mumtaz Mahal, the wife of Shah Jahan; Location: Agra; Building Type: Islamic tomb; Architecture: Islamic.
After visiting Taj Mahal, come back to hotel for breakfast. Relax, refresh, check out and move on to visit Agra Fort.
Agra Fort is built alongside the Yamuna River and stretches almost 2.5 km. It consists of a wall built in red sandstone and several buildings inside. The wall has 2 gates, the Delhi Gate and the Amar Singh Gate.

The intimidating structure stands 43 meters or 140 feet on the pedestal and a cool 54 feet above the ground. The gateway is approached by a steep flight of 42 steps, which add height and majesty to the entire structure. Buland Darwaja that is counted as one of the tallest gateways in the world is almost entirely made out of the red-sandstone with a generous dose of marble decoration on it.
After visiting Fatehpur Sikri, you will head towards Jaipur, Pink City of Rajasthan. On arrival at Jaipur, you will be received by our representative and directly transferred to Jaipur hotel. Jaipur has been laid according to the conventional nine-grid pattern that astrologers believe to be lucky, and which has been recommended in the ancient Indian treatise on architecture. Jaipur has much to offer visitors — everything from pageants and festivals to extraordinarily clad people, a wealth of handicrafts, a royal legacy of palaces, and sightseeing — that will occupy their time. However, should the visitors simply choose to walk around the streets of the old city instead, they will not regret it. All of Jaipur is an architectural gem, and no scheduled sightseeing can even hope to do justice to this rare city.
Spend the evening in leisure and have overnight stay in Jaipur hotel.
Day 3 Jaipur sightseeing – New Delhi
The excursion to prominent fort of Jaipur will begin after early morning breakfast. Have breakfast in Jaipur hotel and proceed for exploring rich heritage, royal past, glorious history and refined craftsmanship of Jaipur while making a tour of Amber fort.

Amber Fort Palace - Amber is the classic romantic Rajasthani fort palace. Its construction was started by Man Singh I in 1592, and completed by his descendent Jai Singh I. Its forbidding exterior belies an inner paradise where a beautiful fusion of Mughal and Hindu styles finds its ultimate expression
After visiting Amber Fort along with Jaipur tour guide, return to city centre wherein located three iconic architectural gems of Jaipur- City Palace, Hawa Mahal & Jantar Mantar.
City Palace: Standing majestically in the heart of Jaipur, the City Place offers a perfect example of Mughal and Rajput architecture. The City Palace houses many beautiful structures in its compound including a 7-storey palace 'Chandra Mahal' (moon palace), Mubarak Mahal, Diwan-e-Khas (the hall of private audience), and the Diwan-e-Aam (the hall of public audience). The Mubarak Mahal also houses a museum named after Maharaja Sawai Man Singh.
Hawa Mahal: Hawa Mahal or the "Palace of Winds" is the most striking monument in Jaipur. Though its name suggests it to be a palace, in really it's not a palace. Actually, the Hawa Mahal is a sandstone screen with 593 finely screened windows, used as a veil by the royal women folk to watch the proceedings on the road below without being seen.
Jantar Mantar: A not to be missed tourist attraction in Jaipur, the Jantar Mantar is a wonderful observatory, built in 1718 by the astronomical king Sawai Jai Singh, the founder of the city. Built in stone and marble, it has numerous scientifically designed instruments to study the movement of Stars. The "Ram Yantra," used for gauging altitudes, is the most remarkable of all the instruments here.
Hereinafter, explore the market. Late afternoon, depart for New Delhi, the capital city of India. It will take approximately 6 hours to reach national capital. Approximately you will be able to reach Delhi by 11 pm. On arrival at New Delhi, you will be transferred to Delhi airport in time to board flight for your onward destination.

By now, you have heard about online casinos as being all the rave in the gambling circuit and being the new wave of gambling, and possibly the future of gambling. Yet, if you have never gambled at an online casino before, then you probably feel a little unsure of what it will be like and if you will like it or not. Wouldn't it be great if you could test drive an online casino like you would a new car before you purchase it?
Well, you can. Many casinos offer a free section of their live casino where you can play their games with fake money, just to get a feel for the online casino and how the games work. If you don't feel comfortable putting money into an online casino account, then a test drive is just what you need.
Many online casinos offer this service to their prospective clients and gamblers. Just like at a land casino, they want to give you the best experience possible to keep you coming back. Many gamblers who are new to the online casino scene are a little 'gun-shy' at first, not knowing what to expect. Many old hat gamblers feel that online casinos take the personality and fun out of gambling. These are the people who are giving online casinos a test run, and finding out just how fun it is to be in the comfort of your own home and gambling without worry.
Just like land casinos, online casinos offer all the popular casino games such as Baccarat, Blackjack, Craps, Poker, Roulette and Slots. So if you are looking for gambling entertainment that you can enjoy from the comfort of your own home, then you should look into online gambling casinos. There are hundreds of online casinos available on the Internet! Why not visit any number of gambling websites and jump in on the game today?


A beautiful seashore with expansive white sands, home to the shrine that was the setting for the story of the White Rabbit of Inaba. As the birthplace of Japan's first love story, Hakuto was designated as 'the holy ground for lovers' in 2010. Along the highway is a tanka inscription of the nursery rhyme 'Daikoku-sama' composed by Tottori's own Torazou Tamura. Summer sees a crowd of swimmers and surfers here. Near the seaside the rugosa roses grow wild as a natural keepsake, blooming in early summer.
The White Rabbit of Inaba is deified here as the matchmaker for King Ookuni and Princess Hachigami.

Making music is one of Jake Rose's passions

Jake Rose is a Taber singer/songwriter/guitarist/performer with a passion for the arts.
A 17-year-old Grade 12 W.R. Myers High School student, Rose has been involved with music and the arts since Grade 3, when his teacher suggested acting because Rose was so "dramatic." Rose said his teacher told him he'd be really good at acting, so he decided to give it a try.
"I mean, what other activity can you do and just use your imagination and become a different person and do different things than you normally would. You do experiences, without the consequences," said Rose, who has been involved with the W.R. Myers drama class since Grade 9 and has performed in "Little Shop of Horrors" and "Footloose" and in Grade 8 at D.A. Ferguson Middle School, Rose was in a production of "Oliver."
Last month, Rose performed in a Taber Players production featured at Cornfest, which he performed in six years ago, as well.
As for future school productions in the works, Rose noted there is talk about W.R. Myers putting on a spring production.
"Not like a musical, just a straight-forward play that I'm hoping to audition for. We'll just have to see when the time comes," he added.
Rose has been playing guitar for the past eight years.
Before that he tried his hands at percussion for two years and lately the multi-talented musician has been trying the piano and ukulele, in which he is learning to play.
Mostly acoustic alternative is how Rose would describe his music, while Amos Lee or Jack Johnson is what Rose would say he models his music after, with probably a little bit of Mumford and Sons thrown in the mix.
"Talking about actual issues and stuff that actually has heart to it," added Rose, is the type of song he is drawn to.
Rose said his mom told him he started writing songs at five years old and he picked up the guitar four years later and started to write his own material to go along with the music he created.
"It's been ups and downs. It's hard writing songs that are good. I think one of the songs that I wrote first was based on a book that I was reading and I looked at it later, it's like 'oh this is so cheesy'," said Rose.
When Rose is finished high school he wants to pursue a career in psychology, as according to Rose, the mind has always fascinated him.
"But definitely along with that I want to be able to put out my own record. I've got quite a few songs written already that I really like. So within the next year or so I want to be able to come out with a record," added Rose.
Out-of-town-wise, Rose performed in a Lethbridge Musical Theatre production of "Hairspray" last year.
He noted it was a lot of fun but he believes he wouldn't want to perform full-time.
" I think I would want to do it as an extracurricular kind of thing, just to go out and have fun, because I think as soon it becomes like you have to do it then you don't really enjoy it as much," said Rose.
"It's a 'get to' instead of a 'have to' kind of mentality."

MyHealthy Advantage
The Plank Challenge: A 90-Year-Old Newington Man vs. a TV Reporter (Guess Who Wins?)
Ninety-year-old Manny Becker chatted easily as he held his plank position for nearly two minutes. Beside him, 51-year-old Jim Altman, Fox 61 news reporter, was having a harder time doing the abdominal exercise and ultimately gave up at 90 seconds.
The two had the impromptu competition when the newsman and a film crew stopped by the GoodLife Fitness Center at Jerome Home in New Britain recently.
Becker and his wife, Margaret, live in Newington, and have been members of the GoodLife Fitness program since it opened in 2007. He joined the program following hip replacement and now they both exercise twice weekly under the individualized instruction of Maquita Sellers, exercise physiologist.
Benefits are evident from the moment he wakes up, Becker said, because it motivates him to get out of bed – and makes it easier for him to rise. The regular exercise has helped him maintain his strength, balance and endurance while increasing his activity level as compared with fellow retirees. Their specialized routines, including pedaling more than a mile on an exercise bike, are modified monthly to build strengths and keep the exercise interesting. As his wife walked toe-to-toe along a line on the floor, he lay on his back bouncing – and catching – a ball off the wall. "You've got to keep that blood moving," he said.
With more than 60 years of marriage, three children, three grandchildren and a long career as an engineer at Fafnir Bearing, Becker said he enjoys participating in the fitness program with his wife.
"We both reinforce each other," he said.
Exercising at GoodLife Fitness program, Becker said, "keeps me physically mobile and able to do the things I like to do."
Sellers said the couple continues to impress him with their abilities. "The objective is to live a good life, whatever their individual goals are, even at age 90," she said. "That's what we're continually working toward."

The SUSI Skill CMS homepage contains a lot of metics on the homepage. For example, the highest rated skills, latest skills, most used skills etc. Another important metric is the newly arrived skills in a given period of time, say in last week. This keeps the users updated with the system and allows them to know what work is going on the assistant. This also inspires the skill creators to create more skills.
To get the list of recently added skill, first of all, we need a mechanism to sort them in descending order of their creation time. Update the skill listing API ie, ListSkillService.java to sort skills by their creation time. The creation time is stored in "YYYY-MM-DD T M S" format, for ex "2018-08-12T03:11:32Z". So it can be sorted easily using string comparison function.
After sorting the skills in descending order of their creation date. We need to filter them based on the time period. For example, if the skills created in last days are required then we need a generalized filter for that. This can be achieved by creating a variable for the starting date of the required time period. Say, if the skill created in last 7 days are required, then the number of milliseconds equivalent to 7 days is subtracted from the current timestamp. All the skills created after this timestamp are added to the result while others are skipped.
This filtering works in the API only when the filter type is set to date and duration in days is passed in the endpoint.
<MenuItem  value="&applyFilter=true&filter_name=descending&filter_type=date&duration=7"  key="Last 7 Days"
Create a handler that listens to the onClick event of the above MenuItems. This handler accepts the API endpoint and calls the loadCards function with it.


I did a check, and I couldn't find my exact issues having been posted, at least not with the 4.1 version of ReShade, so I'm making a new post on the matter.
I currently have two different issues with ReShade 4.1 and FFXIV.
Whenever I run ReShade with the DX11 client, I'll end up crashing. Sometimes this happens after hours of play, sometimes it happens only after a few minutes. Once I do crash, I can't actually get back into the game without crashing almost instantly unless I nuke ReShade, or run in DX9.
Some of this seems to be some sort of error in the DX11 coding for FFXIV, because it does happen sometimes when ReShade isn't installed. It just happens a hell of a lot more often with ReShade than not.
So, I am often having to run FFXIV in their DX9 mode. However, it seems I cannot get ReShade to work with DX9 at all. It just doesn't load with the DX9 client, even if I've installed it for DX9. I tried using a .dll file from here for DX9, and even that doesn't help. I also tried renaming the file for DX9 to dxgi.dll but that didn't help either.
I'll take a fix for either client, but I'd prefer the DX11 one. I use mods (which ironically aren't causing the crash, because I can play for ages with them without a problem), so I'd prefer to fix the DX11 client.
Thanks in advance for any time and effort put towards this issue!


The final recommendations to address tenant issues in Oshawa's south end will appear before councillors at the Dec. 14 regular meeting.
In response to recent issues reported at particular apartment buildings in the city's south end, council is searching for next steps.
The Oshawa Express recently told the stories of multiple tenants who have been facing issues of absent landlords, deteriorating living conditions and pest infestations – and councillors agree that there is a serious problem.
However, how much of that problem falls under the city's purview is another question.
In a recent report from the city's municipal law enforcement department, the pair of buildings at 280 Wentworth Street West and 1040 Cedar Street – buildings noted to have serious problems by residents – were found to be completely in compliance with all property standards under the city's bylaw. Also, 275 Wentworth Street, the building responsible for the most bylaw complaints in Oshawa, was found to be in compliance with property standards in 88 per cent of cases.
"The issues that are shown are then some of extreme frustration for the residents, but they do not fall under the purview of our bylaws," said Councillor Nancy Diamond.
The same was said by Councillor Bob Chapman.
And while councillors generally agreed to form a working group of staff, tenants and building management to address certain issues, the idea of looking into the feasibility of implementing a proactive approach to bylaw enforcement was met with some resistance at committee.
Councillor Diamond went as far to say that the creation of a proactive approach would lead to a "hit squad" of bylaw officers searching out issues and it starts down a path that would require more staff.
However, Councillor Amy England disagreed, saying it makes sense to take preliminary steps in doing the bare minimum by looking at the costs for work associated with implementing such a proactive approach.
"Simply asking for the information is appropriate," she said.
That recommendation passed with opposition coming only from Diamond.
Also at issue was a recommendation to have staff work with the newly formed tenant association in referring criminal issues to the Durham Regional Police.
Councillor Chapman claimed to have "real concerns" with the recommendation.
The opposition led to an amendment of the recommendation to clarify the city would only be acting in an advisory role with the tenant association and DRPS.
The final recommendations will appear before councillors at the Dec. 14 regular meeting.
