The Housing Crisis: Two Competing Visions on How to Solve It

An expert's 7 principles for solving America's housing crisis
Democrats Hear the 'Yes in My Backyard' Message
Edward J. Pinto is a resident fellow and the director of the AEI Housing Center at the American Enterprise Institute (AEI). Mr. Pinto is currently researching how to increase the entry-level housing supply for first-time buyers and renters who earn hourly wages, as well as examining the current house price boom that began in 2012. This continues his previous work on the role of federal housing policy in the 2008 mortgage and financial crisis.
Along with AEI Resident Scholar Stephen Oliner, Mr. Pinto created the Wealth-Building Home Mortgage, a new approach to home finance designed to provide a more reliable and effective way of building wealth than is available under existing policies. This mortgage allows home buyers to maintain a buying power similar to a 30-year loan. It is aimed at a broad range of homebuyers, including low-income, minority, and first-time buyers.
Mr. Pinto has a JD from Indiana University Maurer School of Law and a BA from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

During the last decade in Washington D.C., Henry has developed digital listening and engagement tools for many corporate and non-profit organizations. Her unique approach to fully integrated digital activism, combined with a strong understanding of right-of-center messaging on difficult issues led to her recognition as a leader within the industry.

Letter to National Board
August 27, 2012 by Robert Turner Leave a comment
Dear National Board Members:
On behalf of your DC Chapter, I would like to offer you a sense of our membership.
After a lengthy, wide-ranging, and honest discussion, our members voted overwhelmingly to encourage you to endorse the Romney-Ryan ticket. However, the remaining few, as well as some members of the majority, expressed legitimate concerns as to the anti-gay positions the candidates have assumed on certain issues of significance to our community generally, and gay Republicans specifically. We realize that you are aware of these issues and assume that these will be a part of your discussion as you decide the endorsement question.
If you favor our recommendation, we ask that you accompany an endorsement with a qualifier noting the significant differences we have with the ticket on some social and civil liberty issues and an expression of Log Cabin's intention of continuing to vigorously encourage the ticket and the Party to revise their positions to more directly reflect the true values of our Grand Old Party. We also feel that our national Executive Director, who we firmly stand behind, as well as other ambassadors of the organization, should seek a private meeting with the Governor, much in the way the Austin-12 did with George W. Bush in 2000 in order to create a dialogue about our issues outside of the spotlight of the media.
Finally, please be assured that our members firmly support the election of Governor Romney over President Obama, because of his outstanding fiscal and foreign relations policies and his efforts to reduce the size of government. We will work as hard as we can to support his election and are confident that he and the Party will continue to at least receive with an open mind our input on those topics on which we have agreed to disagree.
We look forward to hearing your decision and working to elect inclusive Republicans in November.

DC Becomes First GOP State Committee to Add Inclusion to Platform
June 29, 2012 by Robert Turner Leave a comment
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Contact: Robert Turner
June 29, 2012 (202) 253-1830 cell
WASHINGTON, DC – Yesterday, the DC Republican Committee (DCRC), the DC equivalent of a state party, became the first Republican state party to insert inclusive language into its party platform leading up to the Republican National Convention in Tampa, Florida.
Under the heading of 'Family and Marriage,' the DCRC added, "We, the Republicans of the District of Columbia support the belief that all individuals, without regard to sexual orientation, are entitled to full and equal protection under the laws and the Constitution and that everyone has the right to be treated with dignity and respect."
Robert Turner II, President of the DC chapter of Log Cabin Republicans and a newly elected member of the DCRC praised the work of the committee saying, "We are excited to be a part of a state party who understands that inclusion wins! Marriage equality is settled law here in the District. All citizens, including LGBT citizens should be treated equally." Turner testified before the Platform Committee earlier this month and offered language that was similar to what was officially adopted. "We didn't get the exact wording we had hoped for, but we are extremely happy with the outcome. We commend Chairman Bob Kabel on his efforts in putting this document together," Turner concluded.
Log Cabin Republicans is a national organization started in 1977, with state and local chapters nationwide, which believes in low taxes, limited government, strong defense, free markets, personal responsibility, and individual liberty. Log Cabin Republicans educates our party about why inclusion wins and that opposing gay and lesbian equality is inconsistent with the GOP's core principles of smaller government and personal freedom. The DC Chapter holds monthly meetings, supports inclusive local Republican candidates, and sponsors monthly social gatherings. For more information, please visit www.dclogcabin.org.

DC Log Cabin-Endorsed Candidates Sweep Primaries;
Members Take Top RNC Spots
WASHINGTON, DC – The DC Chapter of Log Cabin Republicans congratulates its endorsed candidates, all of whom won their respective races in Tuesday night's primary, including longtime member and DC GOP Chair Bob Kabel, who won a contested primary for National Committeeman. In Ward 7, Ron Moten, won over 57% of the vote to earn the right to face incumbent Councilmember Yvette Alexander in November. Uncontested races were won by Mary Brooks Beatty, running for At-Large Member of the DC Council, and Nelson Rimensnyder, running for DC "Shadow Senator." Jill Homan, also a member, won a close election to serve as the District's National Committeewoman on the Republican National Committee.
Robert Turner, President of the DC Chapter, congratulated all of the candidates and expressed excitement at the prospects for additional victories in November. "DC Log Cabin looks forward to actively supporting Ron Moten and Mary Brooks Beatty in their races this fall. Together with a Tim Day victory in next month's Ward 5 special election, these contests will show our party's renewed energy in the District, and DC Log Cabin will do all we can to restore trust and commonsense leadership to the Council."
Turner praised Kabel and Homan for their victories, noting that the District will be the first jurisdiction to have two Log Cabin members serving simultaneously as Committeeman and Committeewoman on the Republican National Committee. "Bob and Jill are friends of Log Cabin and we look forward to working with them to represent our core principles on the RNC." Turner thanked fellow member Teri Galvez for her honest and spirited campaign for National Committeewoman and newcomer Jordan Gehrke for introducing good ideas into the debate.

Dixon Rye updates this picturesque family farm for its next generation
Near Lake Oconee, Sugarbend Farm offers respite from city life for J. Ben Bourgeois and Andrew Rhoda

Hospitality runs deep in J. Ben Bourgeois's family. His mother, a gracious hostess in her own right, never went to bed after returning from a dinner party without first sitting down at her favorite desk to write a thank-you note. Ben, who grew up in Druid Hills, leveraged her genteel instruction into a career as an event producer. Now based in Los Angeles, he directs Hollywood-scale parties around the world, from the Louvre museum to his own destination venue, Casa Fiesta, in Zihuatanejo, Mexico. So when he and his husband, Andrew Rhoda, recently renovated the Bourgeois farm, you can bet his mom's mahogany secretary kept its pride of place.
Ben's parents built the cottage, known as Sugarbend Farm, some 30 years ago among the rolling pastures of Morgan County. Located on Lake Oconee, it has offered respite from city life to three generations. In a picturesque red barn, Ben's father attempted raising horses, cows, guinea fowl, pot-bellied pigs, even peacocks. "My dad considered himself a gentleman farmer, but it was a constant folly," says Ben with a laugh. "Nothing was really successful."
The designers worked with Southern Trillium landscape to renovate the backyard. Some of the original concrete decking was replaced with checkerboard pavers. The pool house includes two bedrooms to accommodate even more guests than the three-bedroom main house.
Eventually, maintaining the property became too demanding for Ben's elderly parents, and he and Andrew took over. "My family is very sentimental," says Ben. "At first we wondered if we'd really want to go down there without Mom and Dad to welcome us." But many relatives, including Ben's parents, still live nearby, so the location remained the most convenient place for families and friends to gather. "We decided to keep it alive," says Ben.
The couple completely redecorated the house but kept "a little of the flavor" of the past. "When my family first arrived, they were excited to see that it was different enough so that they weren't expecting to see Mom and Dad standing on the front porch," says Ben. "Yet it seemed like there were fond memories there." The clan picked up right where they'd left off, watching football games and playing cards—using a jumbo-sized deck so that Ben's father, who is now legally blind, could participate.

Bradley Odom, owner of the Westside home furnishings store Dixon Rye, and his design assistant Brent Jacques were responsible for the clever transformation. Constructed in the 1990s when English Country style reached the peak of its popularity, the house was formerly layered with British antiques and chintz. Bradley—whose grandfather was an upholsterer and who sells his own furniture line—freshened up some of the heirloom pieces, especially occasional chairs, with updated fabrics. A favorite Persian rug remained near the fireplace to inspire the home's red and blue accents. Schumacher drapery and upholstery in Miles Redd prints pay subtle homage to the bygone chintz.
A massive central space, with a 19-foot beamed ceiling, naturally accommodates large-scale elements that help give the room its new contemporary flavor. Belgian antiques include a barn door–style mirror (which slides over to reveal a flatscreen TV), a scrolled blond wooden buffet, and a pair of oversized pyramidal pendants. A 10-foot-tall French cabinet with glass doors conceals a sink and mini-fridge in addition to sky blue shelves full of glass and copper barware. The 14-foot-long pine plank dining table is outfitted with a dozen cane and leather side chairs and a pair of graceful upholstered host chairs created by Bradley.
The designers added bun feet to a tall white French cabinet to provide ventilation for a built-in mini-fridge. Interior shelves were painted blue to show off barware.
Ben and Andrew own two zebra rugs purchased during a photographic safari to Africa. ("Both from proper culling projects!" stresses Ben.) The owners are avid contemporary art collectors. The large white painting in the master bedroom as well as the one in the dining area are by Lawrence Carroll.
"We joke about the hashtag #masterfulmixing," says the designer. "We are always juxtaposing pieces that are modern with the antique and industrial. We keep asking ourselves: What's metal? What's wood? What's hard? What's soft?" Case in point: A silver service on the buffet contrasts with concrete planters on the dining table. Across the room, a weathered wooden "Moses bowl" sits atop a simple iron and glass coffee table, and a Victorian hat rack stands behind a pair of streamlined linen sofas.
When the project was finished, Ben and Andrew organized a "Gone with the Wind weekend" for friends who'd never visited the South. "We travel a lot, so we cast our net far and wide around the world," says Ben. "One of our biggest assets is our collection of friends." The convivial hosts put out hay bales, roasted a whole hog, and hired a country band, topping off the evening with Ben's favorite dessert—red velvet cake—served around the firepit. "They flew in from L.A. and just hopped in an Uber," says Andrew. "Ben's got a reputation. If he builds it, they will come."

News Sushi: Morsels of News from Japan and Beyond #8

Another entry in the World Famous News Sushi.
Life should be,
Fun for everyone."
Maestro Aki
I love this song, it always puts me in a good mood. And it was created by a talented young artist by the name of Maestro Aki.
https://www.facebook.com/maestrochildxox
He describes himself as "The patron saint of lost causes, a sinner, gypsy, dilettante, a libertine, and everything in between." He's an independent musician from my hometown Newcastle, and if you like his music, take a look at his bandcamp:
https://maestrochild.bandcamp.com/
Maestro Aki is also disabled, and his facebook is both a funny and illuminating look into life from the perspective of someone in a wheelchair:
Another lovely artist, who contributed the beautiful piano to the song "Driven", is Thea Riley…

Thea is a beautiful kid who I was asked over fiver years ago to mentor. I don't usually mentor people, and this was the first time for me, and it's been a real privilege to watch this young artist grow and blossom into the wonderful person she is today. You might have heard me refer to her several times on this column so far… yes, she's composed music for my films, and will do the same for the upcoming feature film. She's also a Trance feature artist, who's recently had a top 40 hit on Beatport (for DJs) with the song, "Do it myself".
Beatport artist link:
https://www.beatport.com/artist/thea-riley/642708
However, if you support her on patreon, which you can for as little as $2 you can have access to her beautiful album "Means to function" and follow her on her journey as both a musician, and as a trans-woman (yes, the album title has a double meaning). I'm putting my money where my mouth is, and I'm supporting her, and I hope you will too.

Here's her latest track, "Complete me":

Pokemon NO!!!!!
"Pokemon Go" players will no longer be allowed to search for virtual creatures near pond of famed Tottori Sand Dunes (desert near the Sea of Japan), where they may have nearly stomped out a real-life beetle species. Access to 3,500 square meters "oasis" in the dunes will be restricted & roped off to protect endangered Cylindela Elisae. Both sad and ironic.

Environmentally friendly "smart" town to open in Yokohama
According to NHK World, leading electronics maker Panasonic has opened the so called "smart town" that aims to cut CO2 emissions by using renewable energy to power local homes and businesses. It was built on a former factory site for Panasonic, who has been moving a lot of production offshore recently. No news on what makes the town "smart", but it has me wondering what that could mean, both positive and negative. I'd love to heard your thoughts, so please sound off in the comments section below or on the social medias.

Never too old to dream #2
In what might become an ongoing series (as I find it motivating)… here's another case of someone pursuing their dreams. Recently, an 88-year-old Japanese woman has earned a university doctorate for her study on ancient textiles from Ritsumeikan University in Kyoto. She has been researching for more than 30 years to shed light on how fabric from the Jomon Period (c. 14,000–300 BCE) was woven. Congratulations to Kiyoko Ozeki!

Hello from Japan
Hello is such a simple word, but it has a pretty interesting history. They say that our word 'hello' comes from the days of maritime ships passing each other, and saying 'hello' was a way of notifying the other ship that you were friendly. The words for 'hello' in Japan have a slightly different history, but no less interesting. The most famous one to non-Japanese ears is undoubtedly Konnichiwa. Let's break the word down; first we have 'kon' which means 'this', next we have nichi which means day, and finally we have wa which means 'is'. So, "this day is…" sounds like the beginning of a sentence, and it is. Back in the days of the Samurai, they would take shifts to protect their Feudal Lord, and so when the day security guard would come to take over the Night Security Guard's shift, the Night Guard would report the evenings events starting with "This day is…" i.e. Konnichiwa. The same goes for Konbanwa or "good evening", which breaks down as "This evening is…". The word for "good morning" is a little different, Ohayo, which roughly translates as "Gosh darn, you're up early!", which as it comes before Konnichiwa, which used to mean the beginning of the Samurai's day, then I'm guessing mean that the night guard was surprised that the Day Guard was up so early, and was worried that a coup was about to occurred (but, all this is just my conjecture).
Do you know the history of 'hello' in other languages? If so, tweet me @hamishdownie or comment below.
City of Night
Hope I'm not stepping on anyone's toes here, but I've been reading the classic tome of LGBT non-fiction, "City of Night" (if you aren't reading Gini's "Old classics newly reviewed" then go and read them now!). And I'm sorry to say that it's a real struggle to read it. Not because it's bad, but it's hard to swallow that much self-loathing in one sitting. It's such a bipolar book, in one moment beating it's proverbial chest with how macho and straight it is, and in the next minute, going literally off with the fairies and flowery writing. But, I guess that was life back then. Which is incredibly depressing. I've read about 40% of the book, so I can't really give my final thoughts, but so far, I can see that it's a little bit of an "Alice in Wonderland" type story. While the author does describe himself in the first chapter, he is essentially an empty avatar with which we view this world from a pretty safe distance. In fact, one of the female characters in the book comments on this. So, I liked the fact that he calls himself out. You see, while the author is recounting his life as a rent boy in the 1960s on the streets of New York and LA, he doesn't really give the gory details of actually being a streetwalker himself. So, I can see that that would give the 1960s reader a sense of safety when delving into this shark tank. The other novel that this reminds me of is "The Great Gatsby", only this time, we are being lead through the lowest of low lives, rather than the dizzying heights of Gatsby's world. Rather we are diving deep into the underground of broken dreams and hatred, both towards the self and others. So, in that case, it's still a must read for the new generations of LGBT to see how far we have come, and to see the world were lingo like "trade" comes from. But, the self-hatred is a hard slog to get through, but like the proverbial broccoli, we must eat it!

Abstract: An electro-mechanical fuse integrated into the enclosure of a bearing assembly of a generator or like component. Under normal operation, the electro-mechanical fuse provides continuity through a bearing sensing circuit. However, ball cage damage causes the fuse to open and, in turn, the bearing sensing circuit indicates bearing wear. Thus, damage to other generator components is greatly reduced because the generator is removed for maintenance in a timely manner.

I've seen many movies in which the characters are paid or forced to lose. A conflict of conscience always arises, even when their actions are to save a loved one or the money is to salvage the family home, farm, or whatever. A true fighter doesn't really know how to give in and doesn't believe in cheating. They go all in, win or lose.
Some days, I would love to throw the fight. I just want to rest. In each of these movies, the protagonist knows that should they be found out, their careers would be over. They would have to retire or start a new career in something other than what they love.
I have been fighting all of my life, so I don't really know anything else. I don't think I could throw a fight if I wanted to. But, boy, on some days, I wish I knew how to say to lupus: OK, you've got this. It's all you. And then I'd just sit in a chair and relax.
I allow myself moments in which I don't try to find a solution to a problem, I just accept what is. But I don't do that well, either.
Let me give you a bit of my "fighting" history. I grew up in inner-city Chicago, and pretty much whatever that conjures in your mind, you're probably right. Gang violence, drugs, police brutality — it was all there, so I had to grow up fighting.
Then, I decided I wanted a better life. So, I had to figure out how to get out of my neighborhood and that way of thinking that comes with living in that type of environment. I went into the military, and I remember telling my mom that the only right a person has in the military is the right to remain silent.
It was in the military that I had my first major battle with racism, which could have ended a career. Our training instructor did his best to flunk out every black woman in my group, and we had to battle him within the regimented rules of the military. Later, I became an aircraft mechanic — a black, female aircraft mechanic in Louisiana. More fighting.
In pretty much every aspect of my adult life, I have been the only woman, or the only black person, or the only black woman, which meant … more fighting. When I got divorced, I had no idea it meant that I would have to raise two kids on my own. I decided to go into the competitive field of real estate, and I was determined to be a high performer. But there were obstacles there, too.
By the time lupus came along, I felt that I'd fought all I would have to in my life. I'd established a wonderful reputation in my career, I had kids attending and graduating from college, and I'd been doing my best to set myself up financially to retire at 50. Lupus had other plans: a new fight.
I honestly wanted just to take the sucker punch and lie down on the mat, peeking up only after the ref finished the countdown. I wanted to retire into obscurity. There have been so many times that I wanted to wallow, to feel sorry for myself, and to give up, but fighting is so ingrained in me that I just don't know how to do anything but battle.
Lupus gives me a run for my money, but I think I am giving as good as I get. My doctor's appointments have been showing good numbers, and I know that with enough punches landed, my body will start to feel the benefits. Until I can either learn how to throw the fight or beat lupus to a pulp, I won't be giving up anytime soon.
Tagged battle, fighting, hardship, struggle, tenacity.


With all of the information on the web today it's very easy to find the manufacturer or distributor of any product. Most manufacturers have a website, and websites usually have Contact Us forms where you can send an email. The trick to being taken seriously is to write the proper type of email. You have to think, act and write like a business owner, which is what you are.
Say you are out shopping with your spouse and you come across a great product that you would like to sell online. You pick up the box and look. You will usually see the name of either the importer (who is usually also the distributor) or the manufacturer. Simply write down the URL of the website and look it up when you get home.
We are a small retailer located in Fox Borough MA. We saw your products on the web and would like to carry them.
Don't mention anything about eBay or Amazon. You are an online retailer, but you don't have to disclose that unless they raise the issue. Just say you are a retailer, which is technically true.
You may get a return email saying a rep will contact you, or they may just set you up on the website for direct ordering. It can work either way. If you are contacted by a rep, that is the person you want to ask about selling on Amazon. If they say no, then you are not wasting your time of theirs. Meanwhile you end up with a product catalog and wholesale pricing which can be useful if you find a competitor who will deal with you.
As I mentioned in an earlier post, some suppliers will require you to have a brick and mortar store. I am working with one such supplier now. Here is an inexpensive way to solve that problem.
Many towns have what are called multi-dealer malls. These are places where you can rent a small booth or area usually about 50 to 100 square feet. That is what we did to comply with a recent deal I made on a beautiful line of European Beads. We have the showcase set up there and are actually getting sales -enough to easily cover the $100 a month rent.
Many of these malls are antique malls and will not allow new products, but that is OK because there are others that will. Just keep looking around. The mall doesn't have to be in your town, as long as it's not too far away.
In the mall we use, about ½ of the products are brand new merchandise. It's a very eclectic place – a real mixture of goods, and it works out very well. They even have full time sales people so we don't have to be there.
Sometimes you will find companies that just won't let you sell online, or they may allow you to sell from a website, but not on Amazon (or eBay). When you run into that just keep looking for another product.

Facebook Will Help Pakistan to Fight Against Polio
Zainab SaeedLast Updated: Jan 16, 2020
Facebook has given assurance to Pakistan that it will play its role in the efforts of controlling Polio across the country. A delegation of Facebook, led by Regional Director for Southeast Asia and Emerging Countries Rafael Frankel, visited the National Emergency Operation Centre (NEOC) on Polio and held meetings with concerned officials.
Facebook's delegation also said that it will counter propaganda by anti-vaxxers which made hurdles in polio programme last year and because of that we have seen an increase in the number of polio cases which rose up to 136.
The outbreak of measles was observed in the United States just because number of people don't vaccinate their children due to some videos on social media that went viral. That was the the reason that the US health departments decided to campaign against anti-vaxxers. It created an opportunity for Pakistan as the number of videos have been seen on social media, which were shared by different people, claiming that vaccines are Haram and are using as a conspiracy against Muslim-e-ummah.
NEOC Coordinator Dr Rana Safdar said:
"In 2018 we faced an issue that a number of posts of anti-vaxxers were shared in Pakistan triggering the masses to refuse vaccination of their children and that led to rise in number of polio cases last year,"
According to Dr Safdar, that Facebook wants to play their role to counter campaign against polio vaccination. Special Assistant to the Prime Minister on Health Dr Zafar Mirza also emphasized on the importance of communicating correct health information online and highlighted the need in order to counter harmful content on social media.

The war might be over, but there's still skirmishes to be fought.
Ambassador for the Ru'Edan Jod S'van Er is on a mission. Find Olivia Sur Banden, the daughter of deceased Ru'Edan rogue Crick Sur Banden. Only when she's been found and swears fealty to the new Alliance can the last vestiges of the disaffected be controlled.
Olivia knows the danger—it's why she ran away—but when Jod and her half brother Chowd come looking, she's not willing to lose her freedom. However, with rogues hunting for her, and wanting to use her for their cause, she must accept their assistance. But whether she can accept the intriguing connection between them is yet to be seen.
One last battle could make or break the fragile understanding between Jod and Olivia.
Olivia breathed heavily willing the pain away, as her damaged and bloodied coveralls fell to the deck with a clank. I honestly didn't need this.
She clamped her hand against her side, hoping to stem the blood that seeped slowly. A bar fight wasn't her idea of a good time, but she'd been caught up in the thrown punches. This whole planet was a god-forsaken dustbowl in her mind, yet her ship was in need of emergency repairs, her credits running low and her need for employment pushed her to interact with others.
The bar, she'd been reliably informed, was the place to seek work. All had been going well until a disagreement over some wager. "Dammit. If only the drunk had kept his mouth shut."
He hadn't of course, and that was where it all went wrong.
Then someone turned their gaze on her and commented on the grey tinge to her skin and her yellow eyes. At least she'd not used her real name, because that would have engendered far more interest than she'd needed.
"If they'd known who I was, someone would have reported back and I'd be in a worse situation."
Safely within the shuttle, she reached into the small ablution cabinet, stripped off her stained clothing and examined the wound in her side. Some combatant had tried to stick her with a sharp knife. It was the metal clip at her side which saved her from a more extensive injury. At least he'd only managed a shallow glance along her flesh, searing her flesh like a hot iron.
The medical kit contained an antibacterial spray that she applied liberally, ignoring the flash of pain it brought with it. "Don't know what that lot were carrying," she groused before spraying the flesh adhesive.
The container emptied rapidly once again reminding her of the precarious state of her finances and she sighed. "Yet another thing to restock, when I have enough credits."
Olivia dragged on clean coveralls from the tiny cupboard and shuffled toward the makeshift bed she'd cobbled together long months ago. The ship was on lock down, ensuring no one would enter while she slept. A small comfort when mercenaries hunted her.
Some were Crick Sur Banden's men. Sure she'd be available to kill or, if not that, at least offer sexual relief or 'comfort' to their men. And of course the power that being his daughter represented.
She snickered at that thought. "He barely acknowledged me in life, except as a commodity, so I don't know why they think I'd be useful after his death."
It was easier to focus on the sexual commodity that she represented. Most of the girls she'd grown up with had become 'comfort women.' Little more than pleasure tools for the Ru'Edan males of his army

Jenkinson is sidelined with an ankle injury until at least November. He has not featured for the Gunners' first team since November 2016 and spent the whole of last season on loan at Birmingham City.
The 26-year-old has just under two years left on his current deal at the Emirates but there is no sign he will be leaving the club anytime soon.
He managed just nine appearances for Birmingham last campaign after suffering a broken shoulder before being sidelined by new manager Garry Monk when he returned to full fitness.

Step 1Mix flour, sugar and salt. Using food processor, pastry blender or hands, cut butter into flour until it resembles small peas. Mix yolks and water, and add to flour mixture, mixing just until incorporated. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and chill 1 hour.
Step 2Roll out pastry 1/8 inch thick. Roll up on rolling pin and unroll in 9-inch pie tin. Trim off excess (it can be used for decorating edges). Set crust in freezer until filling is prepared. This will help crust edges retain their shape when baked.
Step 1Lightly beat eggs. Whisk in brown sugar, corn syrup, salt, butter, vanilla, orange liqueur and zest to make filling.
Step 2Remove crust from freezer. Line bottom with chopped pecans and pour filling over nuts. Lift pie and gently tap on counter top to release air bubbles. If necessary, smooth out bubbles with spatula.
Step 3Bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes. Reduce temperature to 325 degrees and cook until center of pie doesn't jiggle when moved, about 40 minutes. Cool before serving. Serve with whipped cream.
1. Melt 3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips in double boiler. Make sure that water does not touch upper bowl. Alternatively, melt chocolate in microwave intermittently 2 to 4 minutes on 50% power; time will vary according to microwave used. Let chocolate cool briefly.
2. Follow pecan pie filling directions, mixing chocolate with eggs, brown sugar, corn syrup, salt, butter and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract (instead of 1 teaspoon), and omitting zest and liqueur.
3. Line pastry shell with pecans and fill as above.

I used to ask for lemon meringue pie every year for my birthday instead of chocolate cake. The reason: My mother made great pies.
If birthdays make me think of lemon pie, Thanksgiving makes me think of pecan pie. Every Thanksgiving feast at our house ended with a warm slice of sweet, crunchy pecan pie topped with cool whipped cream.
My mom's is the best pecan pie I've ever had. When I was a teenager and spending more time helping her in the kitchen, I learned her secret: a pinch of orange rind. Such a simple adjustment to create such a mysteriously wonderful flavor. "Just enough for people to wonder what makes it taste so good," she told me, "but not enough to give it away."
Following my mother's advice, I developed my own version of her pecan pie, with, of course, just a hint of orange. I've also come up with a chocolate pecan pie in homage to her. She is a chocolate lover, and the combination of chocolate and pecans is amazing.
Take your pick this Thanksgiving. Better yet, make both.
