I thought I would share with everyone some of the letters we have received lately by some people within the alleged cult. These are from people we know and did much with. Some of us even shared a house with them at some time. Anyway, it is worth noting that while they may have heard the words "let love radiate without concern for results," it is clear that they do not seek to apply it in these notes.
You can see that in these people's eyes everything is our fault. Apparently we have also broken a number of laws, though this person goes into zero details as to what laws are broken. What laws have been broken?
Again, more hatred and unhealthiness. This time, they add the relationships that we are apparently destroying with the hatred and unhealthiness. Can you be more specific about the hatred? What about the words you have written? I feel a lot of hate there. Have you thought about your hatred?
What about Gregg's parents? Both of them, whom I respect and appreciate, got very sick within the past couple of years? Did they have some sort of hatred we were not aware which caused their illnesses?
Again, more hatred. Now lies. Then more hatred and lies. And finally, we have the C word! Now we have cancer cells growing. I am going to assume there is sarcasm in the comment and that they cannot literally hear the cancer cells growing, but with these people, you never know. When you are "in tune" with the Lord, you are capable of many things normal people are not capable of. One thing Grant bragged about was that nobody in the cult ever got cancer. This was of course because we were on the Lord's side. Since we have "changed sides", cancer is inevitable within us, probably all of us.
The unfortunate part is that I know these people. I lived with the people who made these comments. I don't want to tell them what to think or how to think. There has already been enough of that already. For all we know, these may not even be their own words. I would not put it past Gregg Hake to provide letters for these people to write. Maybe I will remind them to check their S.A.M. (Spirit, Attitude, Motivation) before they write anymore.
What moves these loyal followers ? Money? Fear? So many letters and notes asking us to stop. And their leader Gregg Hake writing so many blogs to cover all of the mess he made and to protect his name.
Wow! Those are pretty harsh statements from these people, these… former cult mates maybe?
Maybe no one in the cult was diagnosed with cancer because they were not allowed to see traditional doctors?
We don't know about that. Besides, with all of that "containment" we didn't know much about anybody's health. That was classified information!
Those who were really really sick and handicapped were of no more use for Gregg, Jane and Grant. Thus, all of the sudden they were not with us anymore. We couldn't ask anything, not even talk about these things between us because we would be "murmuring" like the Children of Israel, and that would "affect" the opportunity for the restoration of this world.
Now that I'm out of that nightmare and that I see things clearly, I wonder how these ill friends are. I have these five wonderful people in my thoughts and prayers. If you are reading this, I apologize for not having tried to contact you after you left to see how you were. You see, you were not one of the "chosen ones anymore," you were not part of the healthy group of hypnotized people anymore, you were not "on the Lord's side anymore." I'm so sorry and I hope you are better and healthy.
This blog is about the release of anger. People who have been hurt can find some measure of completion in expressing experiences that engendered feelings of hurt. The hurt has been great and so is the anger of those involved. Continue to express, with honesty and integrity.
Each one of you (us) is a magnificent Being. Whatever one has come away from MST believing, please hold onto that particular teaching, because it is an unchanging truth, unaffected by the behavior of others. There is in each one, the spark of greatness and each one's job while we are alive, is to see and fan that spark in others, into the brilliant flame it is meant to be.
To forgive does not necessarily mean to continue to allow the behavior that created the need for forgiveness. There is a time and place to speak out for truth to be revealed. Hold steady in this endeavor and it WILL be revealed, bit by bit. Let your words be guided by Love, and they will accomplish that which is needed by the Lord of Love.
It is possible that many on this blog are missing the closeness felt when engaged in worship together. This blog can be a place to say, "Praise Him, whom I love and worship!" and say it with the backing of many others who also wish to express these words in unison.
Have courage, be visionary, and trust that all will work out in the long run. God bless you all!
I don't blame those who have written those letters of hatred. They are defending their believes and their time and money investment.
Two years ago I was like one of them, and I know this blog is only reinforcing their believes that those who leave will get their punishment, what better punishment than cancer cells in our bodies.
I just feel sorry for them, and wish them the best, blessed hearts.
We were there, defending what we THOUGHT was right and true, completely blind. All of that charisma, those smiles, those sweet voices, those inspiring services and letters from Grant and Gregg, and we believed everything! It's so sad to see our friends there.
People who joined the Ministry had their hearts full of good intentions and love to God. Unfortunately, once you are there, your heart changes a lot. You start judging everybody, you start making fun of others who think different than you, you even start hating those who disagree with your "wonderful" mentors and leaders. You become another person: empty, bitter, greedy, arrogant, self-righteous and frustrated. To think that those who wrote these letters at some point were actually full of joy and willing to restore this world, they were our sweet friends. Who are they now??
am happier than ever to express what was pushed down for so many years.
She is also a cult veteran and has had similar experiences, and as Don Quijote said to Sancho, "when the dogs bark it is because we are working.
There is a vast difference between being a victim (owning victimhood) and being victimized through the malicious intent of others.
We were victimized and we are survivors of the cult.
One of the ways Grant had to prevent us from seeing that we were victimized is by putting the blame on us or blaming it to the devil.
So any time we would start to see the injustice, see that something's going wrong, we needed to remember that it was the voice of the devil. Personally, that service kept me asleep for another couple of years when the greatness of the evidence of the distortion and corruption was so that I could not longer blame it to the devil.
Blaming the devil is any easy way out of any situation. All the ills of the world can easily be blamed on the devil. This includes tricking us into giving all our money and resources to the "ministry." Imagine if Grant and Gregg ever came clean and admitted what they have done. All they have to do is blame it on the devil. See, their conscience is clean.
Grant and Gregg, and anyone else for that matter, including each one of us can blame the ills of the world on "the devil." The hard part is in realizing that WE are all in one way or another, that devil, if you define devil as the consciousness that is primarily concerned with self. Viewed from this perspective, we all have a responsibility to see what has been done and do differently in the future.
Also, relative to the comment by Former slave, yes, we were supporting something, which if it had been true to the image we all held in our hearts, would have been a growing seed of heaven, on earth. It was not only the leadership that defiled that lovely vision, but our inability to express differing visions without fear of some kind of retribution.
I think many stayed because they were hoping that things would change in a right way. It is good to note that in any societal structure, when things begin to get off-track even in a very tiny way, if the correction isn't made to return to the original path, the structure is eventually doomed to fragment and dissolve.
The love we experienced was not faked, at least among those of us not in the "high leadership." We truly loved and still love each other. I still love all of you. I treasure the memories I have of times spent working, eating, resting, playing, and worshipping along side of each one of you. We blessed one another and we continue in that blessing. Our lives were all changed by our connections to each other. Keep those precious connections, the ones forged in the fires of love. We all yearn for the world to be different from the way it is. Each of us can be the difference we long to see, in the earth. Love, TWW.
I agree with you on some of the points you mention. I personally stayed there as long as I could. I invested a lot in what I truly believed in. I did not want to admit that the ministry was dead and that Grant, Jane and Gregg were not interested in saving the world with us. I say this and I was a relative newcomer. My first Sunday Morning service I attended was in 2000. For those who have been around longer, the decision to walk away becomes that much more difficult. All I can say is that when I realized it was time to move on, it did not matter how long I had been there. I know I loved the people I was with. I am glad to say that many of the people are still my friends. Some of the people who are still there have cut me off. They have chosen not to be my friend. I have not chosen this. I can live with their decision; it does not make our previous friendship any less real.
You do make one big assumption about the definition of the devil. This is something we were taught by MST. How much of that can we believe at this point? Yes, we all have a responsibility to see what has been done and do differently in the future. We also have a responsibility to see what each and every one of us has done wrong in the past and look to right that. This also applies to Grant, Jane and Gregg.
You say that it was not only the leadership that defiled that lovely vision, but our inability to express differing visions without fear of some kind of retribution. What if the leadership had become so corrupt that it became impossible to express a differing opinion? What if those in the ministry who tried to express a differing opinion were suddenly laid off or exiled to places like Florida, California, New York, North Carolina, Alaska, Europe, Canada, and more by our trusted leadership? After a while, people stop complaining.
I appreciate your words. We certainly can be the difference we long to see in the Earth. That's why we are not silent anymore!
Wow, "I can hear your cancer cells growing every minute". That is unbelievable, Gregory Hake. Because if in fact this statement has any truth to it, you must be a very, very, big boy by now. If the cancer, which is you, is growing, you must be looking like Jack and the Beanstalk about now. I have been giving this blog alot of thought these days. I can hardley believe anyone would continue to believe you or even follow you any longer, but then again, money has made people crazier that this. I have seen people prostitute themselves out for less. When one thinks of the ones that stayed with you, thank was a no brainer. Of course they would. Good luck, Mr. Hake, you are gonna need it. Oh, and stop growing so fast.


After years of informal student health condition policies, The Durham District School Board formally introduced a medical policy earlier this fall.
The Durham District School Board has developed a health policy for students with medical conditions.
Earlier this fall, the DDSB decided to have individual care for students with asthma, diabetes, epilepsy and risk of anaphylaxis to keep them safe while in the classroom.
The board has informally been dealing with cases for years — so now schools will finally have firm rules.
Across 133 schools and learning centres, the DDSB says at least one student in each institution has one of the health conditions, and in some cases there are more.
"We want students to feel safe and comfortable at school, we want the environment to support them, we want them to be able to reach their potential. So we don't want students worrying, am I safe here, is something going to go wrong. We train our staff. We have the best interest of students at heart," said Mark Fisher, DDSB academic services associate director.
Principals are in the midst of ongoing training and should be fully qualified in the coming weeks.
The board also wants to help students become more independent so they can manage their own care.


Love and relationships is a niche that is full of opportunity to earn an income. Believe it or not, there is still a ton of potential to make money in the online dating business industry.
You can approach the industry a few different ways. Invent a totally new way to find a match similar to "Tinder" or "How About We". Then there is the traditional online dating business method which goes like this…Choose a niche, build the website and find members.
This article will provide you a 10 step process to build a traditional dating website and how to make it profitable and unique for your members.
I've started and built about 12 online dating sites and were able to sell three of them for 5 figures years ago. Every site that I've launched had zero members on day-one and I was able to grow the site to 10 of thousands of online daters.
I operate this blog and I even wrote an ebook about how to start an online dating business. I've been able to share my experience and tips to thousands. Before getting started just be clear on your expectations. Get ready to make the time and put in some work. I promise it'll be worth it in the end.
Starting an online dating business isn't the easiest thing you will do, but it can be very profitable and with this guide I can walk you through the steps to get it started pretty quickly.
Here is a quick outline of all the steps. I'll expand on each step and you can skip and click to the information you want to review and have the most interest in learning about. Hopefully this help you get started and stay organized as you start your journey.
1. Choosing a niche and why you need one.
Quick answer: I niche is a specific category for your site, example dog lovers.
5. It's time to build your dating website and solutions for every budget.
Quick Tip: Have a plan, write it out, Execute. Execute. Execute!
Quick Tip: Paid marketing for example would be Google Adsense or facebook ads. Free marketing is like word of mouth, posting to forums etc.
Your website should be setup to accept all major credit cards and maybe Paypal as well. Make sure you get a merchant account and learn the percentages and other cost involved. Stripe Payments is one of the most popular merchant account processors. You should check them out first.
So there's the overview of what you'll learn.
So let's get into it as I break it all down and provide more details.
A niche is like picking a category that you dating website will cater to exclusively. Choosing a niche is a good idea because it allows you to easily attract an online dater with certain interest.
For example connecting people who love video games or enjoy camping would be good examples of choosing a niche to build your dating site around.
When you choose a niche it can be considered big or small. Sometimes the smaller the niche the bigger the profits because you'll be the only site catering to these kinds of daters.
A small niche can mean bigger profits because you can easily target your marketing and seek out to attract a specific group of people seeking each other.
Choosing to NOT niche your dating website could work or could turn out to cost you a-lot of time and money in advertising. The only way I would build a new dating website and Not targeting to a group of daters would be build a site for everyone in a certain city or state. For example sexysinglesinmontana.com.
It's easy to choose a name for your dating website once you have your idea or have a niche group you want to create your website around. Here are best practices for naming your dating website.
I usually try to include the niche topic in the name of my site. If it's a site for singles in Montana, i'll make sure to use the state name of "Montana" in the name of the site.
This makes since for many reason. It helps people find your site online in search engines and when they do find your site the name will easily let them know if your site is for them.
It's a good idea to keep your name short and include your topic. The longer the name the harder it will be to remember. When you come up with a name you will want to check to see if the .com is available for your to register as well.
If the .com is not available you will want to check to see if someone is using your Niche idea. If they are don't get discouraged you can still create your site around the niche if you feel there is room for your to compete and do a better job.
You will however have to change your name and find a .com that's available.
If you have a niche already picked out and are ready to start laying your foundation to build your website; you'll need a .com and hosting. If you are not sure about domain names and hosting you can do a quick Google search to familiarize yourself with these terms.
I won't go into to much detail here but they both work together to make your website.
Your .com name links to your hosting account. You can choose to get them both from one company or get them for different companies and link them together. To make things easier I recommend using one company to do both.
I use BlueHost for most my projects. Pricing starts at $3.95 (paid annually). Signup is quick an easy and you get a .com name FREE when you get your hosting through BlueHost.
Quick Tip: If you have a Ebates account they will give you $10 cash back when you buy hosting from BlueHost. No lie! Signup here to Ebates first before you get your hosting at BlueHost to activate the offer.
A logo is important to set yourself apart from the competition and to help you create a brand that your online daters will trust. Getting a logo doesn't have to be pricy but you do want to take the time to get one created for you if you don't know how yourself.
It should be clean and unique to your brand. I do not recommend doing if yourself if you have no design skill. Getting a logo done can cost around $5 on a site I use called Fiverr. This site has tons of qualified folks with skills to do things like logo design.
Check them out and browse around for a designer. You will notice some charging more than $5, thats fine. Just find one that is $5, check our their portfolio. If you like their work hire them to get you a logo done. It's simple and professional.
If you have a bigger budget and want more variety you may want to go with another site I use called 99designs. There are loads of professional designers on this site that will compete to get your business. 99designs works by allowing you to create a logo contest.
You enter your details and share information about your projects. You then will get a dozen or so designers that will enter the contest giving you options to choose from. Choose your favorite and use it on your new dating website. 99designs is a cool site to get great design work done.
One of the most popular free dating sites is Plenty of Fish; this site now has millions of members and still offers free membership.
Just because you start out as a free dating website doesn't mean you have to stay that way. If you are in a niche with very little competition, you can easily start to charge to make money from the site. But keep reading, because charging your members isn't the only way to make money from your dating website.
Think about it; no one wants to pay to if you don't have any members. If there are no members no one will pay to stay on your site. So this method will require marketing cash to get started if you choose if over the Free to join model.
Once you figure out if your dating website will be free to join or pay to subscribe, choosing the right dating software solution is the next thing to decide.
You have a few options. Unfortunately I no longer recommend any of the free dating site scripts that are online. Frankly they are all outdated and won't deliver the level of use and features and mobility that are current with what your competition would be using. However there are some very affordable options that I will outline here.
I recommend purchasing a professionally developed software program to start your dating website. Especially if you are not familiar with website design or coding, this will save you time and money in the long run.
The best online dating site software out there is SkaDate. Hands down! It's the best because it's constantly updated and improved to make sure you are offering your visitors the absolute best technology and all the modern conveniences with online dating like 100% mobility. It even has an app you can add-on to your package. It's really awesome.
It has video chat, mobile messaging, flirting and user email and so much more ready to go out of the box. It costs a one-time payment of $999: it's the best option if you want a full-featured top of the line dating site with mobile app features.
It's also one of the most expensive solutions.
So let's get into some more affordable options if you're on a budget.
To save a few buck you can purchase a dating website template that works with WordPress. If you have not heard of WordPress it's a very popular content management tool used to create a variety of websites that are feature rich and easy to manage.
Using WordPress is a fairly easy way to get your online dating site started quickly. There are several themes, or templates, that I've found that include everything you need to get started, including Sweet Date (see below). The cost associated with WordPress is based on what theme or template you choose to create your dating website. Sweet Date costs $62, and that's a one-time cost. The only other cost you'll have is your monthly hosting fee to keep your website online.
Quick Tip: Most hosting companies will setup Install WordPress Free or has the 1-step WordPress install feature to make your life easier. BlueHost has it as well as some other host.
I can't express enough why this is important. Just know this..over have of the population with Internet access will logon through their mobile device. It's that simple. If your website isn't mobile friendly, you just won't see the growth or attract enough users to be profitable.
The solutions that I outline here and throughout my website are all mobile friendly and or have an app component to take you to the next level.
If you choose to find your own solution make sure it's works perfectly on all mobile devices.
How will you signup new members to your dating website once you launch? Do you plan to do a pre-launch campaign? What is a pre-launch campaign?? Will you hire a marketing company or will you do all the marketing yourself? These are a few of the initial marketing questions you'll want to ask yourself.
It's ok if you haven't thought about any of these things before. Having a plan just makes since so now is the time to get it together. Once your site is up or even before it's up you'll want to have some idea about how you plan to get people to signup.
A marketing plan is something you'll use to keep you on track with your marketing ideas and objectives. It doesn't have to be anything formal but you should add to it and share it with whoever is helping you promote your website.
Getting your first members will be touch if you are starting with zero; but with the right plan you can start strong and grow quickly.
OK, now this may seem obvious, but really, I've seen so many niche dating sites that are just outright generic. It is so important to establish a professional image. This includes your logo and your template choice. If you choose a niche like sci-fi lovers, it's also fun to use a theme like the solar system or stars. Just make sure your site looks super-professional. Branding is going to set you apart from other dating sites that may provide the same niche as you. Branding is what will establish you as an authority site over your competition.
Now comes the fun part, watching your community grow. Depending on how you choose to build your dating website, you may start with zero members. This is fine…really…for now. ALL of the dating sites I started had no members on day one.
Link Directories. A quick way to generate some traffic, there are many online directories to list your new dating site in. Most are free. Do a google search to find these.
Facebook. Facebook has a really simple and affordable advertising program. You have to have a Facebook account to get started.You can set a budget as little as $5 a day and start sending super-targeted traffic to your site immediately. Google "Facebook Ads" for details.
Recruit Affiliates. Affiliate programs work. If you have a pay-to-join dating website, you can pay affiliates or recruiters a percentage of each sale for sending you new members.
Email Marketing. Make sure, from the moment you decide to start your online dating website, that you are collecting email address. Communicate regularly through email to get referrals and keep your members active.
Once you have the site up and running and you have a business model in place (Free Vs. Paid) you need to have a system in place to make money. It's either going to be by member signup s for through some other form of monetizations. Let's discuss your options.
Member Subscriptions. If your site is pay-to-join this is one of your income streams. It's always a good idea to make some of your features free for all, but charge a fee to initiate communication. So it's free to browse, but pay to communicate.Note: Make sure the dating software you purchase includes a pay-to-join system so that you can make money; some free dating software may not include this feature. All of the resources on this page include a pay-to-join option and all the e-commerce tools you need to process secure online payments.
Affiliate Offers. As your build your community and increase traffic, you may want to offer related resources to your members. If they make a purchase, you get paid. Examples of affiliate offers include deals at restaurants, jewelry sites, flower shops, and gift shops.Note: Check out Commission Junction for a variety of affiliate programs you can join and link to your site. You have to have your website up and running before they will approve your website to sponsor affiliate ads.
The Email List. There is so much money in building an email list and the data you'll collect from your members. Building your dating website will create a very large database of email addresses. Use this information to stay in communication with your members. It is very important to let them know your site is active to keep them coming back to check on what's new.Your dating website system will automatically send out new-member and match notifications; in addition to these notifications make sure you personally keep in touch. Your dating website could become lucrative beyond members paying a fee to join. With a big list you could sell your members other things from affiliate offers to physical products. Be creative. The money is in the list.
I hope this article has provided some helpful resources for you as you get started. Please share your comments or questions as your journey begins or as you continue in the online dating business.
This is by no means a complete list of all your options and opportunities that are out there. Hopefully this is a starting point and if I was able to answer a few of your questions that's 1 step closer you'll be to launching your New dating site.


If you read my blog, you'll know I am a big fan of the digital business model, for various reasons which you can check out here. This is the method that I am using to reach my goals and aspirations and also the method that I am sharing with you so you can achieve yours. Starting can be a bit overwhelming at times so I thought i'd give you a helping hand give you 6 ideas for products, that you can make once and then sell repeatedly as part of your business. These ideas can be adapted for any niche you may happen to be in, so dig in and take a look..
This is a very a popular digital product and also very easy to make and get to market. An eBook was the first digital product I ever made and to date my most successful. The success of my eBook was the basis for my decision to move forward and really knuckle down with this business model. eBooks can be about anything you want and as long or as short as you want. You can sell them on Amazon very easily via their self publishing platform or there are a huge array of other platforms that sell ebooks, but Amazon is the most popular and where people generally get the most success.
Again a very popular approach to digital products and they're very easy to make. However the thought of video does scare a lot of people and puts them right off! It is something I am just starting to dabble with and I have to say video is really great for getting information across to your customers. Whether you are showing them how to do something or talking more in depth about a certain subject, or both, video is a very effective way of doing this. It's also a great tool for building trust with your customers as it can help them feel like they are getting to know you personally rather that communicating with a faceless entity!
Printables are something that I have only recently become aware of but, they have been around for a while and there are people creating really successful businesses in this niche. They are basically downloadable graphics, and can come in a variety of different forms such eye catching sayings or phrases, to do lists, tables and charts, business plans, infographics, workbooks, and so on. You can create them quite easily using platforms such as canva and picmonkey. Again they can be adapted for various niches and in my experience tend to be sold mainly via sites like etsy. They are also really good as lead magnets and bonuses to thank customers.
Platforms like Teachable and Udemy have helped elearning courses become wildly successful for both learners and entrepreneurs.There are pros and cons of using these platforms to sell your course. The main benefit is that they are very well known so you can easily get your course in front of people who are looking for exactly what you are selling. The disadvantages though are that these platforms are now very well known and competition inside is fierce so your course needs to really stand out above the others. Plus the platform will take a percentage of your earnings I believe this is quite a big percentage. My suggestion would always be concentrate on building your own tribe and following of fans and marketing all you products to them.
Maybe not for people who are just starting out but absolutely something to work towards. A great business model within a great business model. Membership sites can be hard work but extremely effective if you do them right. Check out Carrie Green's Female Entrepreneur Association as a great example. This is going to be the next strategy I will be pursuing to move IncomeObjective forward.
So there are some ideas to gt started with, once you start giving them a go I am sure you will be pleasantly surprised at how simple they are to begin! Get in touch and let me know how you're getting on or if you have any questions.

George Ducas' New Music Excites Him as Much as Debut
"This is the most excited I've been to get music out since my first album."
InterviewsNew Music
Rose K
George Ducas is definitely not a newcomer to the music scene but his excitement for his upcoming album, Yellow Rose Motel, is just as infectious. The new tunes drop on Feb. 1. and he can't wait for fans to hear the music.
Although he's as excited as a new artist would be for their debut, this is actually Ducas' fourth studio album. He released his self-titled debut in 1994 with two more in 1997 and in 2013, consecutively.
Since then, he's been busy honing his craft and enjoying time with his family. That allowed him to stay a little behind the scenes while giving him more time to write music. His talent for songwriting is evident, especially when you realize the big names that have cut his songs. Ducas has had his songs recorded by the likes of George Jones, Garth Brooks, Eli Young Band, Gary Allan, Sara Evans and Randy Rogers Band, just to name a few. Despite having so much success with writing for other artists, there's a craving that can only be filled by recording your own songs. He's satisfying that craving with this brand new album.
A post shared by George Ducas (@georgeducas) on Jan 20, 2019 at 4:28pm PST
"This is the most excited I've been to get music out since my first album," he explains excitedly.
Ducas is releasing this album as an independent artist, which is an advantage for him. Since he doesn't have to answer to anyone but himself, he has the freedom to create the album that he wanted to create. Despite having his hands all in his new music, he knows when to stop tweaking it and to call it a finished product.
"You can keep on keeping on but, at some point, you just have to call it done or it'll never get released. Anything outside of that just has to become part of the next project. An album is just a snapshot in time, a song is complete."
Now that his album actually is complete, he's looking for it to feel even more complete by performing these songs live. "Artistically, the freedom of performing brings completeness to the writing side," he said before adding, "It's the finishing piece to the song."
Although he hasn't announced tour dates yet, Ducas' album does give fans the first taste of the music he'll be performing live. Yellow Rose Motel is full of songs that will spark your interest and keep your mind racing through stories that make mini-films in your head as you listen. And, in each song there's "a little bit" of his own story "in every single" track. There's also one song that's "a complete departure" for the singer-songwriter and that's the title track.
"I've never written a six minute song, but it's a cool story," he explains. "It's my tip of my hat to Willie Nelson's Red Headed Stranger record. I learned to play guitar listening to that record, at least acoustic guitar and chords."
Throughout the album, you'll see a theme of relationship truths and love songs. He even gives men a few tips in "Don't Leave Her Lonely," which tells men not to get lazy and take their woman for granted. Of that one, Ducas says, "It has an old school vibe of 90s country."
Other standouts on the album include "Country Badass," a dig at guys who play the part of country boys without knowing the true lifestyle, "Eastwood" and "Cold Bud," which will bring you straight to the bar to celebrate with your best buds.
I've written songs for artists like Garth Brooks, Eli Young Band, Sara Evans and a whole lot more. I've been nominated for a Grammy as an artist and a songwriter but I've never been more proud than I am right now of this new song and the new album we have coming out in 2019!

I'm so excited to be part of Skirting the Issue hosted by Simple Simon & Co again this year!
It's an amazing series with a great cause behind it and you for sure want to check it out!
Here's a link to my past Skirting the Issue posts: Pleated Skirt Tutorial & Skirt Pocket Pattern.
I was inspired ahem: forced by my friend Crystal to make a circle skirt pattern. She LOATHES doing the math, and well, honestly I hate doing the math for circle skirts too, so I think this worked out really well. Circle skirts are so easy to make and you can use Woven or Knit fabric for this pattern, which is a really cool thing. Too, what girl of any age doesn't love twirling in a circle skirt???
So now, grab your Cinnamon Circle Skirt Pattern here and join in with Skirting the Issue!
YAY!!!!!! I HAAAAAAAAAAAAAATE math too!

ConLiGen member sites agree to contribute their samples to joint genetic projects within the limits of each site's IRB regulation. A large-scale candidate gene study of lithium response shall be the first joint genetic project. Funding permitting, a genome-wide association study will be performed.
Variables describing treatment tolerability or side effects may be studied in subsequent projects. Because the issue of 'best response phenotype' is far from trivial, ConLiGen will strive to continuously weigh evidence from future clinical and biological studies of lithium in an effort to refine the definition of phenotype response. Evaluating response to long-term treatment in an illness with a highly variable natural course presents a challenge. Many patients with bipolar disorder experience spontaneous remissions of variable timing and duration. Moreover, in a pharmacogenetic study we need to evaluate the quality of response not for groups of subjects as in clinical trials but individually for each patient. While prospective studies will be able to implement more precise measures, our approach is a practical way to assess the quality of response in a variety of patients treated in diverse settings.


I subscribed a month ago and although i got an email thanking me etc i have received nothing from them. I emailed their customer service and got no reply. Its frustrating. The confirmation email said it would take up to 14 days but its now 29 days.

Camden unveils plans for mixed-use development along the Delaware
10/24/2015 | Real Estate Blog
For years, Philadelphia's neighbor across the river, Camden, has suffered from unprecedented levels of urban blight, poverty and, of course, crime. Indeed, the city was named the most violent in the U.S. in the not-so-distant past.
As discouraging as this has been, the good news is that things finally appear to be on the upswing in Camden, as violent crime has dropped by 7 percent in 2015 and the last two years have seen double-digit declines. Furthermore, the city has taken steps to shutter failing public schools and saw its poverty rate decline by 6.1 percent in 2014.
While everything from enhanced law enforcement efforts to demolition programs have helped drive this revival, experts are also pointing to recent corporate relocations and commercial real estate development made largely possible by tax incentives offered by the New Jersey Economic Development Authority.
In fact, a group of developers, and both local and state officials gathered just a few weeks ago to announce plans for what they are calling The Camden Waterfront, an ambitious undertaking that they said would not only bolster the local economy, but also serve to expand Philadelphia's central business district across the water.
Reports indicate that construction on The Camden Waterfront would commence in the fall of 2016 and be completed by 2019. The project, which will be built on 16 acres of what is now a parking lot located south of the Benjamin Franklin Bridge, would measure 1.7 million square feet, and include four office towers, a 120-room hotel, parking garages, 27,000 square feet for retail establishments and 325 residential units.
According to the developer behind the project, which would be accessible via the Patco rail line, investors have yet to make any firm financial commitments. However, several have already expressed interest and are waiting to learn whether the Economic Development Authority would approve the necessary tax credits before proceeding.
It's highly encouraging to see Camden continue its resurgence. Here's hoping this massive plan to restore the city's waterfront proves effective.

Q: Cart bulk quantity discount for specific product tag IDs in WooCommerce I want to create a function to create conditional bulk dynamic pricing for WooCommerce, different unit prices based on the quantity added to cart.
I have two product tags ids (326, 327) and there is a bunch of product in each tag. I want to give a different discount for both tags and for the same quantity.

*

*Tag ID 326

*15% discount above 10 units

*20% discount above 25 units

*

*Tag ID 327

*20% discount above 10 units

*35% discount above 25 units.

This is the code I am working with:
add_action( 'woocommerce_before_calculate_totals', 'woocommerce_quantity_based_pricing', 9999 );
function woocommerce_quantity_based_pricing( $cart ) {

    if ( is_admin() && ! defined( 'DOING_AJAX' ) ) return;

    if ( did_action( 'woocommerce_before_calculate_totals' ) >= 2 ) return;

    if( has_term( 326, 'product_tag' ) ) {
        $threshold1 = 10;
        $discount1 = 0.15;
        $threshold2 = 25;
        $discount2 = 0.3;
} elseif( has_term( 327, 'product_tag' ) ) {
        $threshold1 = 10;
        $discount1 = 0.2;
        $threshold2 = 25;
        $discount2 = 0.35;
}

    foreach ( $cart->get_cart() as $cart_item_key => $cart_item ) {
      if ( $cart_item['quantity'] >= $threshold1 && $cart_item['quantity'] < $threshold2 ) {
         $price = round( $cart_item['data']->get_price() * ( 1 - $discount1 ), 2 );
         $cart_item['data']->set_price( $price );
      } elseif ( $cart_item['quantity'] >= $threshold2 ) {
         $price = round( $cart_item['data']->get_price() * ( 1 - $discount2 ), 2 );
         $cart_item['data']->set_price( $price );
      }
    }

 }

Unfortunately without the desired result. Any advice?

A: To apply a discount based on product tag IDs, you can use WC_Product::get_tag_ids(), and then compare it.
I have provided an extra piece of code via the woocommerce_cart_item_price hook, which will allow you to strikethrough the original price and show the new price next to it
So you get:
// Used to calculate totals
function action_woocommerce_before_calculate_totals( $cart ) {
    if ( is_admin() && ! defined( 'DOING_AJAX' ) )
        return;

    if ( did_action( 'woocommerce_before_calculate_totals' ) >= 2 )
        return;

    // Set Tag IDs
    $tag_id_1 = 326;
    $tag_id_2 = 327;

    // Tag ID 1
    // 15% discount above 10 units
    $tag_id_1_threshold_1 = 10;
    $tag_id_1_discount_1  = 0.15;
    // 20% discount above 25 units
    $tag_id_1_threshold_2 = 25;
    $tag_id_1_discount_2 = 0.20;

    // Tag ID 2
    // 20% discount above 10 units
    $tag_id_2_threshold_1 = 10;
    $tag_id_2_discount_1  = 0.20;
    // 35% discount above 25 units
    $tag_id_2_threshold_2 = 25;
    $tag_id_2_discount_2 = 0.35;

    // Loop through cart items
    foreach ( $cart->get_cart() as $cart_item_key => $cart_item ) {
        // Get price
        $price = $cart_item['data']->get_price();

        // Get quantity
        $quantity = $cart_item['quantity'];

        // Get product tag ID's
        $tag_ids = $cart_item['data']->get_tag_ids();

        // Check for tag ID
        if ( in_array ( $tag_id_1, $tag_ids ) ) {
            // Compare
            if ( $quantity >= $tag_id_1_threshold_1 && $quantity < $tag_id_1_threshold_2 ) {
                $discount = $tag_id_1_discount_1;
            } elseif ( $quantity >= $tag_id_1_threshold_2 ) {
                $discount = $tag_id_1_discount_2;
            }
        } elseif ( in_array ( $tag_id_2, $tag_ids ) ) {
            // Compare
            if ( $quantity >= $tag_id_2_threshold_1 && $quantity < $tag_id_2_threshold_2 ) {
                $discount = $tag_id_2_discount_1;
            } elseif ( $quantity >= $tag_id_2_threshold_2 ) {
                $discount = $tag_id_2_discount_2;
            }
        }

        // Isset & NOT empty
        if ( isset( $discount ) && ! empty( $discount ) ) {
            // Set new price
            $cart_item['data']->set_price( $price * ( 1 - $discount ) );

            // Reset
            $discount = '';
        }
    }
}
add_action( 'woocommerce_before_calculate_totals', 'action_woocommerce_before_calculate_totals', 10, 1 );

// Strikethrough the original price
function filter_woocommerce_cart_item_price( $price_html, $cart_item, $cart_item_key ) {
    // Get the product object
    $product = $cart_item['data'];

    // Is a WC product
    if ( is_a( $product, 'WC_Product' ) ) {
        // Get reqular price
        $regular_price = $product->get_regular_price();

        // New price
        $new_price = $cart_item['data']->get_price();

        // NOT empty and NOT equal
        if ( ! empty ( $regular_price ) && $regular_price != $new_price ) {
            // Output
            $price_html = '' . wc_price( $regular_price ) . ' ' . wc_price( $new_price ) . '';
        }
    }

    return $price_html;
}
add_filter( 'woocommerce_cart_item_price', 'filter_woocommerce_cart_item_price', 10, 3 );

Yes I am back in Vancouver BC YET AGAIN for a ONE DAY TRIP YET AGAIN. First stop is a place we tried to go to last time but couldn't go: Western Lake. You MUST make a reservation for this place because of one dish — their GIANT shumai. It's MASSIVE and packed with flavor. Shumai is my favorite dish for dim sum and this satisfied ALL MY CRAVINGS.
I must say though, all the other dim sum dishes were mediocre so I say give this place a try once and call it good!

You know I had to review this OG. So this is my daily ramen because let's face it, I got to stretch out the good ones for the gram.

⭐ PLEASE READ ⭐ This is Chinese food: bold, flavorful, made with skills that were perfected after centuries of practice. Baked orange cauliflower (or whatever it is) does not EVEN COME ANYWHERE CLOSE to being compared with things like this. Comment below if you know what I'm talking about. I have nothing against baked cauliflower per se, just don't call it "better for you Chinese food" because 1) I feel best when I'm eating food like these hand-pulled noodles so eating baked orange cauliflower is clearly NOT better for me, and 2) baked orange cauliflower is not Chinese food. You can serve it in a non-Chinese restaurant as "food", I have no issues with that. .


Is there a simple explanation for why the crêpe has never taken off as a breakfast food in the common household? It is a simple, fun, experimental and vastly customizable meal. If breakfast were a painting, a crêpe would be the canvas. Sweet or savory, plain or exotic, a crêpe offers the option to please even the pickiest of eaters. From the crêpe Suzette to the Cherry Kijafa Crêpe, all you need is accoutrement and you have a delicious meal for anytime of day.
The basic thing to remember about a crêpe is that once the crêpe itself is made, everything else is your chance to play culinary god.
Wisk the egg and flour together.
Gradually add milk and water, stirring until combined thoroughly.
Add the salt and butter and beat until smooth. The batter should look like a very runny pancake batter.
Now in a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan (i actually have a 6″ flying pan perfect for making crêpes) spoon in a thin layer of batter, tilt the pan around to get an even coverage, cook til the bottom is lightly brown and flip.
Now the fun part. I prefer to add the extras at this point while the other side is cooking, fold it over like a wrap or burrito and serve.


ICE MEMBERSHIP could be boosted by making it easier for Environment Agency flood defence engineers to become chartered.
Flood defence engineers currently have to prove they have achieved each of the ICE's core objectives individually. This often dissuades them from applying or lengthens qualification time.
Under the plan the Agency's training agreements will count towards ICE core objectives, the Institution said.
The change may prompt engineers of all grades to apply to the ICE, as it could increase the likelihood of promotion, said Agency national training adviser Steve Knowles. And it would have the effect of improving the industry standing of all its flood engineers, he said, easing the skills shortage by attracting graduate engineers into the sector.
The Agency is comparing its training agreement to ICE core objectives to see if there is any skills overlap.
ICE professional development manager Niall O'Hea said that as most flood defence engineers skills are very similar to those of civils, the outcome of the scheme looked 'very promising, ' in which case the ICE is likely to give the scheme the go ahead within weeks.
He added that there would be no exemption from sitting the Professional Review.

D'Eva Furniture Building in Turnersville to Come Down, Panda Express First New Tenant
The abandoned D'Eva Designs and Furniture building, a large white edifice with water fountain which sits at the prominent "fork" intersection of Black Horse Pike and Tuckahoe Road… is planned to come down for a new, smaller retail building, according to Washington Township Planning Board approvals.
Wedged between the Walmart Center and the Automall.
According to the Planning Board resolution and meeting minutes, Developer Provco Group of Villanova PA, was approved to demolish the building, and replace it with a smaller 6,600 square foot retail building featuring a retail space, and two restaurants… with one of the eateries offering a drive-thru.
Provco Elevations
The documents reveal that the first tenant for the new building is Panda Express. Panda Express is a fast casual Chinese food eatery with over 2,000 locations… and according to their location map there are currently none in South Jersey. Looking at their online presence it seems to have similarities to the Pei Wei chain of eateries. Update: The Courier Post reported that the last South Jersey Pei Wei closed last month in Cherry Hill, and the first South Jersey Panda Express is scheduled to open not too far away in Cherry Hill, in the Walmart shopping plaza. A Vineland Panda Express is looking at a late December opening.
The Planning Board resolution is available online (PDF) and gives a very good depiction of the project and variances.
Provco Site Plans
Online leasing pages reference a few depictions for the property. At this time I am not clear on what the final layout will be.
As is the case with all of these "just approved by the planning board" projects, even though the developer has invested significant capital into this project to get it designed, and the town has approved… there is no guarantee that this will move forward. That is entirely up to the developer at this point, although all indications are this is a go.

The University of Geneva, together with the University of Sassari, organises a workshop on Methodologies and techniques for the analysis of surveys and longitudinal registers, from 18 to 20 June in Alghero (Italy).
Based on the research topics of many LONGPOP ESRs, this workshop's topic is centered around social inequalities in health in old age and the life course construction of heterogeneity in health and living conditions of the elderly populations.
Each of the three days will be held by a different professor and will start with a plenary lecture given by a researcher, focusing on data and analytical methods, theories, and results and interpretations.


Where Does Mayor-elect de Blasio Stand on Preparing NYC for Climate Change?
In an article posted recently on InsideClimate News, journalist Maria Galluci asks a key question: how does Mayor-elect Bill de Blasio plan to build on the extensive foundation of climate resiliency policies created by outgoing mayor Michael Bloomberg and the New York City Council?
New York last week was one of 33 cities worldwide selected to participate in the first round of the Rockefeller Foundation's 100 Resilient Cities Network. The initiative grants cities undetermined portions of a $100 million pot of money for hiring a "chief resilience officer" and developing long-term resiliency plans to assess and tackle risks they face from climate and other disasters.
New York is ahead of the curve on both issues. It already has a director of resiliency in the Mayor's Office of Long-Term Planning and Sustainability, as well as a comprehensive strategy in its Special Initiative for Rebuilding and Resiliency (SIRR)—a $19.5 billion plan unveiled in June in response to Superstorm Sandy. The plan includes 257 initiatives spread across the city, about one-quarter of which could be completed before Bloomberg leaves office.
The Rockefeller support could help New York implement the rest of the plan and cement the city's reputation for being at the forefront of climate action.
But all that is essentially up to Mayor-elect de Blasio, and it remains uncertain whether his administration will keep climate change at the top of the agenda. The keys to Bloomberg's success in developing a comprehensive climate strategy included his constant, outspoken support for global warming action and his administration's nonstop consultation with the city's top scientists, experts and environmental organizations.


Analysis of partial hepatitis C virus sequences has revealed many novel genotype 6 variants that cannot be unambiguously classified, which obscure the distinctiveness of pre-existing subtypes. To explore this uncertainty, we obtained genomes of 98.0–98.8 % full-length for eight such variants (KM35, QC273, TV257, TV476, TV533, L349, QC271 and DH027) and characterized them using phylogenetic analyses and per cent nucleotide similarities. The former four are closely related phylogenetically to subtype 6k, TV533 and L349 to subtype 6l, QC271 to subtypes 6i and 6j, and DH027 to subtypes 6m and 6n. The former six defined a high-level grouping that comprised subtypes 6k and 6l, plus related strains. The threshold between intra- and inter-subtype diversity in this group was indistinct. We propose that similar results would be seen elsewhere if more intermediate variants like QC271 and DH027 were sampled.
The GenBank/EMBL/DDBJ accession numbers for the sequences reported in this study are JX183549–JX183558.
Supplementary tables are available with the online version of this paper.

Moving to Canada? SC real estate agent cashes in on presidential race
Credit: Jeff Cook/Jeff Cook Real Estate
A South Carolina real estate agent is capitalizing on people's frustrations over the choice of presidential candidates with a unique billboard.
Charleston realtor Jeff Cook posted his sign along Interstate 26 showing pictures of Republican Presidential nominee Donald Trump and Democratic Presidential nominee Hillary Clinton.
The billboard asks the question: "Moving to Canada?" along with the accompanying phrase, "We can sell your home."
Related: Clinton, Trump address crowds at VFW National Convention in Charlotte
"We do a lot of billboard's that are funny, but this is the first time we've done something with a political spin," Cook told FOX 46 Charlotte. "What we wanted to do was create something bipartisan that people could laugh about."
Cook said there are eight signs in total and they have created a ton of publicity, but that wasn't the goal. In fact he said his office has received calls from all over including Canada and New Zealand.
While a majority of people are laughing along, others aren't in on the joke.
"A small percentage of people have called in upset, but overall people seem to be getting a laugh. It' been amazing."
The spotlight isn't hurting business either. Cook said that business has definitely increased, but he wouldn't attribute it all to the sign.
"It's not so much people wanting to move to Canada as it is people just wanting to sell or buy a new home."
One thing is certain, the board has people talking.
A picture of the sign was shared on Jeff Cook Real Estate Facebook page. So far it's been shared more than 9,000 times.

Jason, thank you for helping us buy our first home. It was a joy to work with you! You made our experience a pleasurable one.
Mr. Wood, I cannot say enough to show my appreciation for your help with finding my mother the perfect home. For someone who knows very little about the process, I felt at ease with you by our side. I will not only use you again, but personally recommend you to everyone I know.
Jason, I have bought and sold many properties in my life, and have never had a Realtor go above and beyond like you did. Thank You.
We know several realtors, having bought and sold many properties over the years, but cannot think of one more professional, knowledgeable, and accommodating as you. When we decided to list our home we expected to have several interviews. However, after meeting you, we immediately knew you were the right person for the job. Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, for making this possible. I hope we stay in touch, and we will personally recommend you to everyone!
Jason is an excellent agent. He was patient , knowledgeable and always available. He knew exactly what my budget was and helped me find the home I wanted without exceeding my budget. Jason was the angel that guided my family and i to a new beginning.
Jason was our agent when selling our home. He is very professional and did an excellent job in communicating with us and prospective buyers. He was able to get our house sold quickly and smoothly. We will definitely be having him as our realtor again in the future.

Jason provided me with exceptional service in every single area I had at least a million questions about and he dealt with me like I was a very special client. He worked to find me exactly what I was looking for in area,price and size. He nailed it and I am now a first time home owner and I cannot thank him enough for his perseverance, compassion, caring, and professionalism and his expertise.

The best! Attentive, hardworking and knowledgeable! Sold my home within two weeks. I've worked with many realtors and he's the only one I can recommend in this area.
Jason is an amazing realtor! He knows anything you could possibly need to know about buying a home. We have already referred him to multiple friends who have also used him and loved everything about him! He is friendly and cares deeply about how clients and making sure they are taken care of!
Jason is a true professional !! Not only is he an excellent realtor , he cares about his clients. I would highly recommend Jason !! Jason helped my wife and I with ideas that would help with our showings. We used his ideas and our home had an acceptable offer in just a few days !!
Jason made selling my house easy! He had a great eye for making sure my place was show ready and was very helpful throughout the whole process. He took normal and drone photographs and the listing looked fantastic...the house sold in 24 hours! Jason is professional, efficient, effective and fun! Call Jason - he'll take good care of you!
Jason was fantastic to work with! We found out very quickly we had to move from out of state so we were on a very tight schedule. Jason showed us almost 20 houses in 2 days and helped us find the perfect house! He worked with us before we even got to town to narrow down some choices and picked out some great options for us. He is extremely knowledgeable about the area, not only about where to live but things to do and see! Having to do most things from a different state, Jason worked with us every step of the way and kept in great contact. We are so happy to have found Jason! Buying a house had never been this easy.
Jason served us well in transitioning from sale of one home to purchase of another. When tension was high with unforeseen obstacles during the transition, Jason was able to faithfully work the through the matters and prioritize on both ends of the deal.
My husband and I have known Jason for over 12 years, as he assisted us with selling our first home, and buying our current home in 2006. During the entire process Jason was extremely professional, and knowledgeable with the sale and purchase of our last home, so we decided to use his services again. Jason has been instrumental in selling our current home,and assisting us find what we hope is our forever home. He was very aggressive in getting maximum showings for our home, and getting an offer on our home quickly. He took time to show us multiple listings for new house, and was patient enough to ensure we got exactly what we wanted. When there was a potential we could lose the home we were buying, he worked hard on securing the home we wanted. He has always been available when we had multiple questions, and would brainstorm with us on likely solutions. We close on both homes this week, and could not be happier.
Fast working, very professional and made it easier to find our perfect home! He was always available for showings and really helped us through the entire process.
The best! We have used Jason as both our selling and buying agent, always represents you to get you the best possible! He will always go the extra mile for his customers!
There's a reason Jason is one of the top agents with RE/MAX Aerospace (let alone the county) and it's not just his good looks! He's a fierce negotiator and pinpoints home values like no realtor I've ever worked with. He's a must to have in your corner if buying or selling a home. Just call him.
Helpful, timely, and professional! Doesn't get much better than working with Jason! We've worked with him 3 different times and they have all been great experiences. We also refer him to everyone we know who is looking for a great realtor.
Way above and beyond with the photos, listing, advertising, out of the box marketing and just an overall professional realtor, and in my honest opinion, the best around. A very trusting, ethical, professional young realtor with a great future. Has sold many of my friends houses and assisted others in purchasing real estate. Helped my son by his first house. The best. The closing was seamless on bith my sell and my son's purchase.
Jason was there to assist me and selling my recently deceased father's home. Since I live on the West Coast and his home was in Florida, this could have made for some difficulties. But Jason was professional, detail oriented and fantastic in every way. I can't thank him enough for all of the hard work he put into selling my father's home. I would highly recommend him to anyone!
Jason was amazing! I would highly recommend him. He is very knowledgeable about real estate, and was always available to talk to us about any concerns we had. He was never pushy, and was really patient with us. He genuinely cares about you, and you won't be disappointed if you choose him as your Realtor.
100% could not recommend a better person, we bought our home a year ago and he still will call or text to make sure everything is ok and if we need anything. Absolute gentlemen and scholar.
Jason showed us a few houses until we found the perfect one. He was always kind, knowledgeable and trustworthy. The process (from the other side) was a little bumpy but Jason worked hard to make everything happen quickly and efficiently. I will definitely use Jason again and have already recommended him to friends!
No doubt, no question, Jason is THE BEST experience that I have had in real estate. He represented me and my family with the sale of our home and it was a seemless process. Extremely knowledgeable and professional. His staff is great and I will refer everyone that I know to him.
Jason has a great knowledge of the local real estate, and was so helpful in selling my house in Rockledge, and helping me find a condo in Viera/Suntree.
Jason is an outstanding realtor! He provided great tips when selling my home which helped it sell within 3 days of being on the market for a higher price than I expected. When it was time for my fiance and I to buy a home, he found a fantastic home for us and helped us negotiate a lower price. He handled all the difficult stuff to make the process of both selling and buying a home easy. It was not just his enthusiasm and energy that makes him a great realtor, but his knowledge when issues come up and also his network of people he can reach out to when we needed something done was extremely helpful in the process. Being a local his whole life, he knows neighborhoods well and also understands when homes are prices correctly or too high and why. I highly recommend Jason Wood will send family and friends to him for sure!
Jason just helped us buy our second property in the area. His professionalism and customer service are always excellent! I wouldn't dream of using someone else for our real estate needs!
After interviewing several agents in the area, we decided to go with Jason and were very happy with that decision. Even though we listed our home just before the holiday season, Jason was able to keep the listing active and we had constant viewing. He stayed on top of what buyer's were looking for and marketed the home aggressively. We received our offer just after the Christmas holidays.
Jason has been our realtor for more than a year. He has helped use buy a property, as well as assist us in finding tenants for our rentals. Jason provides a very high level of customer service ! We wouldn't dream of having any other realtor assist us with our real estate needs! ?
We approached Jason Wood and asked him to guesstimate what we could list our home for. He was very knowledgeable about the current market trends in our city and even our specific neighborhood. Jason compiled a very detailed document of comparable listings and recently sold homes. Based on that, he confidently told us that we could ask twenty thousand dollars more than we had estimated based on OUR research. We decided to list with Jason. The home went into MLS midday on a Thursday. It was shown that Thursday night. It was shown multiple times the next day on Friday. We had an offer midday on that Friday and a written contract on Saturday! At a thousand dollars less than our original asking price! Jason walked us through the entire process all the way to an early closing. We were very happy with Jason and would highly recommend him with either buying or selling your home!
I cannot say enough great things about Jason. He made buying my new home a complete pleasure. His knowledge and expertise is second to none and his enthusiasm towards finding the right home for me made the process not only easy, but, also fun. Thank you Jason!
Jason as extremely professional. He went above and beyond to help us find the condo that was right for us. He has a great personality and kept us upbeat throughout the long process of finding us a place...we're picky! we highly recommend Jason.
Jason went above and beyond to help my husband and I sell our home, as well as purchase a new home. He is very organized, professional, and always available for questions.
Jason was a pleasure to work with. He is diligent, thorough, responsive and he genuinely cared. I trusted him and he didn't let me down. I would highly recommend JC (Jason) and we will hire him again when we make our permanent retirement move to Florida.
Working with Jason Wood and his team was a great experience. Jason answered a long list of questions and was very clear in explaining the entire sales process before the contract was even signed. Jason and his team made me comfortable and well informed throughout the process. I highly recommend using Jason if you want your house sold or you are in the market to buy a home. He is amazing at getting things done fast and making sure you are well informed. Jason will get the job done in a smooth stress free manner.
Jason was extremely helpful in finding my new home. He was very patient and understanding and always available for whatever questions I needed answered. I will definitely recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell!!!

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions how long on average her Department took to investigate alleged instances of benefit overpayment following the death of the claimant in the last 12 months.
Our investigations start when the Department receives details of the grant of probate. Those probate records are then matched against departmental records of deceased income related benefit recipients. In the majority of such cases no discrepancy with the records is identified. In those cases where further inquiries are required, the average time taken to complete those inquiries is 15 weeks. This is from receipt of the probate, including obtaining information from the executor, and ending with a formal claim on the estate.
We handle such cases as sensitively as possible, taking into account that this can be a particularly stressful time if the executor is a close friend or family member.

HUD and State Grantees discriminate against homeowners who elevated with SBA Loans.
111. Reconstruction with Elevation homeowners that have DOB higher than their grant award based on the first grant award calculation may have a housing discrimination issue to file against HUD.
Solution 2 Reconstruction with Elevation homeowners that have DOB higher than their grant award based on the first grant award calculation may have a housing discrimination issue to file against HUD.
Background: Homeowners who elevated using SBA grants were not afforded the offset costs of elevation as identified July 13, 2018 in APA 9. The elevation allowances were never applied to homeowners during the initial grant award process which would have lowered the DOB to include accounts with SBA loans. The state has instructed these homeowners to wait for an SBA fix. The state has been informed of the issue and has yet to respond.
The research has been completed, if you can complete the spreadsheet I've linked here and show you are eligible for a grant once you add your elevation costs you may have a solid case to file with HUD OIG this week. I will coach and offer the reporting process to those penalized by the first grant calculation method that omitted unmet needs, unforeseen costs, and elevation costs.
Complete the Spreadsheet and PM me a copy, I will be attaching them to a report I will be publishing and you will need to submit it to HUD OIG with your report.


Dahab is a small town which situated on the southeast coast of the Sinai Peninsula in Egypt. In fact, Dahab is one of the Sinai's most treasured diving destinations. Moreover, the town located about 80 km northeast of Sharm El Sheikh. The name of Dahab in Arabic language means "Gold" in English. After the the Six Day War, the town occupied by Israel and known in Hebrew as Di-Zahav. In fact, the town named after a place mentioned in the Bible. It mentioned as one of the stations for the Israelite during the Exodus from Egypt. The Sinai Peninsula restored to Egyptian rule in the Israel-Egypt Peace Treaty in 1982. Since then, the town featured international hotel chains and the establishment of other ancillary facilities.
In fact, they made the town indeed a popular destination for tourists from worldwide. The town has no airport but served by Sharm El Sheikh International Airport. Moreover, the town features an area which called Masbat. In fact, this area is a popular diving destination and has more than 50 dive centers. In fact, Dahab divided into three major parts. Masbat which includes the Bedouin village Asalah and located in the north. South of Masbat is Mashraba, which is more touristic and has more hotels. In the southwest is Medina which includes the Lagouna area. In fact, the last one is famous for its excellent shallow-water windsurfing. Moreover, the area is full of camps and hostels.
In fact, it is since most people who visited the town in the past were backpackers. They interested only in diving and snorkeling in the Red Sea. Dahab attracts large numbers of tourists. The town features reliable winds which provide superb flat-water conditions inside Dahab's sand spit. Further away from shore, there are wavy conditions couple with strong winds. In fact, they provide formidable conditions for keen windsurfers. Scuba diving, free-diving and snorkeling are also popular activities in the town. In fact, many reefs located just next to the waterfront hotels. The town also houses The Blue Hole diving site. In fact, the nickname of this diving site is "The World's Most Dangerous Diving Site".
Furthermore, the town offers land based activities like camel ride and horse ride. It also offers other activities such as desert safari, jeep and quad biking trips. Sinai Mount is two hours driving from Dahab. In fact, Sinai Mount houses Saint Catherine's Monastery which indeed is a popular tourist destination. The development of hotels in the Medina area facilitated the arrival of a wider range of tourists. In fact, the name of Dahab is also a reference to the color of the sands. The sands located to the south of the town itself. Some locals attribute the name to the color of the sky, just after sunset. There is a local story about the town's name. They say, the name stems from the floods which wash through the town every five or six years.
Moreover, there are larger than average seasonal storms in the mountains. In fact, they cause a great rush of water to surge down to the sea. They also drag with it great amounts of sand. During this time, the town cut in two by the flood and the bay stirred up. As a result, the sands turn it a golden yellow. In fact, this event lasts a few days and causes damage and loss of life in the past. In fact, it was because the people were unaware of the sudden onset and the force which the water moves at. Today, locals are ready when they see the clouds over the mountains. According to the Bedouin of the area, however the name "Dahab" has a different origin.
When the Bedouin people came there they called it "Waqt Zahaba". In fact, this name translated literally to "Time Gone". This name derived from the fact that whenever you are there, you could lose track of time. It is because the days would begin to run together. The name then shortened to "Zahaab" but it misunderstood by travelers. In fact, they thought they say Dahab. Unfortunately, much of the coral in the reefs just offshore disappearing. In fact, it is due to inexperienced divers took out in big numbers. Another big problem is that in Masbat.
In fact, the local restaurants dumped sand and rock in the sea. It is to extend out into the shore, again, causing disruption to local coral reefs. Local Bedouin children, sometimes encouraged by their family, come to beach cafes and restaurants. It is to sell items such as woven bracelets to tourists. There is an influx of female tourists on the beach, who dress in a more revealing fashion. In fact, they introduce a culture which is unfamiliar to the region. The town's Climate makes visiting any time of the year pleasant. In fact, the temperatures range between 20 and 30°C all around year. The water temperature averages is 27°C in summer and 21°C in winter.
The town is more of a backpacking location than a luxury resort town. Yet, the new town area offers tempting upscale resort hotels. In fact, the more rugged stay and budget accommodation options located in Assalah. The laid-back area of the town houses camps, hotels and cool restaurants.
Diving tips: Before registering in a diving course or class, ask how big the group is. Bear in mind that more than 4 people is too much. Moreover, it strictly prohibited to fish any of the rare fishes or to tamper with the coral reefs.
Food: For a nice dining experience in Dahab, head down to Assalah. There, the seafront lined with laid-back Bedouin-style restaurants. You will seated on traditional embroidered cushions. Moreover, you'll enjoy a feast of caught seafood and fish. Furthermore, you will spend the rest of the evening listening to some local music. Moreover, you will also watch an improvised belly-dancing show.What to buy: When shopping in the town, look out for Bedouin handicrafts. You can find some beautiful hand embroidered clothes. In fact, they made by Bedouin women.
Relaxation: In fact, Dahab is perfect for yoga lovers and meditation seekers. Take a day trip to St. Catherine to visit the famous monastery. Moreover, you will climb up Mount Moses for amazing views of the Sinai Peninsula.

The extreme weather that led to the cancellation of FP2 yesterday continued as expected overnight, resulting in qualifying being entirely moved to Sunday for the first time since the 2010 Japanese Grand Prix. Since then, in Australia 2013, Q2 and Q3 were moved to Sunday morning after Q1 took place on Saturday – again as a result of heavy rain. The qualifying session in Austin was scheduled to take place at 1300 local time, but was then subjected to a series of half-hour delays before being abandoned entirely just before 1600, with no let-up in the weather. Qualifying has now been rescheduled for 0900 tomorrow at Austin, when conditions are expected to improve considerably: possibly allowing the use of the P Zero White Medium and P Zero Yellow soft tyres that have been nominated for the United States Grand Prix. The only running to take place today was the hour-long free practice session this morning, during which just the Cinturato Blue tyres were used. Rain fell throughout the session but most drivers still took the opportunity to complete plenty of laps, just in case the order for FP3 was used to form the grid tomorrow. Hamilton was fastest in the session by eight-tenths of a second over Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel, with the Force India of Nico Hulkenberg third. Paul Hembery, Pirelli motorsport director: "As an Englishman, I'm something of an expert on rain, so today we saw good weather for ducks – as we say in England – and not such good weather for Formula One cars. But it's actually not the first time we've been in this situation: we successfully ran part of qualifying on Sunday morning in Australia two years ago. Looking on the positive side, the teams managed to run a number of laps on the full wet tyre during free practice this morning – which could yet be useful experience – and the weather is expected to be better tomorrow. Nobody has had much preparation time, but it's the same for everyone and all the drivers have got a full allocation of new slick tyres for use during the race tomorrow, if conditions allow it. This potentially opens up a few different opportunities for strategy." The Pirelli strategy predictor: With very little running up to now (just FP1 and FP3, held exclusively in wet conditions) the teams have not had any chance to formulate the ideal slick tyre strategy for the 56-lap race. However, theoretical calculations would indicate that a two-stop strategy is best, as was also the case last year. At the moment, it's hard to predict the timing of the pit stops as wear and degradation rates are unclear.
