Campaign's State Partner in Idaho Urges Sen. Crapo to Support Voucher Mobility Demonstration
This week, Opportunity Starts at Home's state grantee in Idaho, the Idaho Asset Building Network (IABN), along with four of its multi-sector partners, submitted a letter to Senator Mike Crapo (R-ID) supporting the Housing Choice Voucher Mobility Demonstration Act. Sen. Crapo is the Chair of the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs.
The Act was recently introduced by Senator Todd Young (R-IN) and Senator Chris Van Hollen (D-MD). Specifically, the signatories of the letter urged Sen. Crapo to support funding for the mobility demonstration in the final Transportation, Housing and Urban Development (THUD) appropriations bill for FY 2019.
"As a group of organizations focused on the effects housing affordability has on every aspect of the livelihoods of Idahoans, we have seen firsthand how important improving access to high opportunity areas is to reducing poverty and improving outcomes for Idaho children," reads the letter. "The Housing Choice Voucher Mobility Demonstration would take an important step in helping families break out of poverty and move to areas of greater opportunity."
The letter was submitted by the IABN, Boise/Ada County Homeless Coalition, Community Action Partnership Association of Idaho, Idaho Voices for Children, and Intermountain Fair Housing Council.
The IABN focuses on connecting leaders, service providers, businesses and consumers statewide to help build assets toward economic success. IABN works to ensure that all Idahoans have the opportunities, skills and supports to achieve long-term financial security. A key policy priority is championing housing affordability and availability.
Boise/Ada County Homeless Coalition seeks to end homelessness in Boise and Ada County through public education, policy advocacy, and coordinated services.
The Community Action Partnership Association of Idaho (CAPAI) is a private, non-profit association dedicated to fighting the causes and conditions of poverty in Idaho. Its primary activities include providing information and referral, administrative oversight, and training and technical assistance to its members.
Idaho Voices for Children resolves problems facing Idaho's children in the areas of health, education, safety and family economic security. It supports, promotes, and raises awareness of issues to communicate the most vital needs of Idaho's children through data-driven research and partnerships. It also educates policymakers and the greater Idaho community to help ensure that the needs of Idaho children are met.
The Intermountain Fair Housing Council (IFHC), is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to ensure open and inclusive housing for all persons without regard to race, color, sex, religion, national origin, familial status, sexual orientation, gender identity, a source of income, or disability. The IFHC attempts to eradicate discrimination through education on the fair housing laws, housing information and referral, housing counseling, and assistance with mediating and or filing fair housing complaints.

Kandi Jones
Jmac and Mrs. Jones got a thing going on
"What, you're going to be late again?" is just about the worst thing the husband of a sexy MILF can hear (the worst being, "I just called my lawyer"), but those are the words 41-year-old Kandi Jones' husband hears when he calls to tell her he's going to be late getting home from work. This is bad for Mr. Jones because his wife is ready for sex and horny. "I was really hoping that we could spend some time together," she tells him, meaning, "I really want to fuck." But then Kandi looks out the window and sees JMac, shirtless, washing her car. And, as we all know, there's nothing a horny MILF likes to see more than a porn stud washing her car. Or delivering her pizza. Or fixing her plumbing. But, in this case, washing her car. Looks like Kandi's going to be okay with her husband being late and JMac's going to be even better. How many side jobs do these porn studs have? She invites him in, maybe for a drink. Maybe so she can suck and fuck his cock. Maybe so JMac can fuck her in the piledriver position and hear his balls slapping against her ass. Maybe so he can cum in her pussy. Better clean up that creampie, Kandi, before Mr. Jones gets home. Kandi lives in South Florida. She once had a job as a spa manager that she enjoyed because "I love making people happy." We can tell. She's 5'3" and weighs 135 pounds. She's not a traditional swinger; she fucks other men, her husband doesn't fuck other women. But she is a nudist (she became one after visiting Hedonism III in Jamaica in 2000) and she likes to play with her nipples when she masturbates. We'd play with her nipples when she masturbates. By the way, her hubby sent her our way.

Blog 2012 March Custody Battle Between Christie Brinkley and Ex-Husband Peter Cook Gets Nasty
Custody Battle Between Christie Brinkley and Ex-Husband Peter Cook Gets Nasty
Posted By Demetria Graves || 20-Mar-2012
A battle of "He Said, She Said" has broken out in the media over child custody, support
Former Sports Illustrated swimsuit model and '80s pin-up queen Christie Brinkley has taken to the airwaves recently to demand proper restitution from her ex-husband, architect Peter Cook, whom she divorced in 2008. The crux of Brinkley's case is that Cook has been delinquent on his child support payments ever since she hit Broadway to star in Chicago. Additionally, Brinkley's seeking $140,000 because she claims Cook sent her offensive e-mails and harassed her. This goes against their divorce settlement, which levies a hefty $5,000 fine for each time one hurls "derogatory remarks" at each other. At this point, it's amazing that the second figure's so low considering the way each are going after one another in the press.
Cook has matched Brinkley's flare for the air, making the rounds on morning talk shows and gossip pages in an attempt to clear his name. Beyond the money, Cook says he is most irritated by the claims that he is a bad father, and that "to be called a deadbeat dad to me is such a horrible, vengeful, spiteful thing to say…" He claims that Brinkley left the children with him when she left for her spotlight on the stage, so he asked for her to give him "reverse child support" in an attempt to balance things out.
Looking to set the record straight (at least the way she sees it), Brinkley's team of attorneys sent out a release after Cook's media blitz that accused the architect of launching a "smear campaign." They also wanted to clarify that the ex-husband never paid "twice his child support" as he claims, and on top of that, he was often late with the single payments he had to make.
It will be interesting to see how the Brinkley-Cook feud playing out in the court of public opinion will affect it in actual court. These two obviously have the green light from their legal teams to go out and make their cases to the people, but when it's time for the judge to make the final ruling, the amount of mud under each of their finely manicured fingernails may be a stat a decision can be based on.

Few things are more important than this installation. Any house can improve significantly from the addition of a good garage door. If you choose poorly, though, your garage door will not help your home one bit. In today's world, these doors come in many different forms. They can be made from anything, ranging from fiberglass to stone. Since these doors are so important, choosing one is a big deal. You need to consider color, design, and size. Replacing this door is difficult, so you'll want to take this decision very seriously. If you do need to do a replacement, though, there are experts that can assist you.
When you are hiring a garage door repair specialist to come and replace the broken spring there are a few things you should consider. Yes you'll be able to pull the release on the opener and open it by hand but you can't keep doing that to move your car in and out. Often times it won't stay up on its own so it will take two of you to move cars around. Time is of the essence in most of these cases. While you might not be able to expect same day service, just do to the amount of people in your area that have needs, you do want someone who can get to you quickly.
The first thing that you should check is the controller. In most cases, you have two separate controllers. One if probably in your car or truck and the other is mounted on the wall, usually near the door.
The first way to find a competent Portland Independence Missouri Garage door is to look online. Nowadays, every business, whether big or small, has a website and you can check them out to see which one you think is the best one to get the job done for you.
You can install an alarm system, if you want to protect your home and family from thieves. By installing an alarm, you will be able to alert your neighbors that someone is trying to break into your house.
The last thing that you could check is the torsion spring. The opening and closing of the garage door is controlled by this spring installed on top of the door. This is what pulls your heavy door and it is under immense amount of tension. Beware, this is the dangerous part and you should probably always call in the specialists, unless you have the expertise and tools yourself.
Whenever you got the wood being picked out, the garage door repair Santa Clarita could then tart crafting the door. You would be having the need of getting a motor in order to work with the wooden door. There could be online manuals as well as manual in stores that could surely tell you on how to install it. This is actually the purpose why you instead deal with a good garage door company repair, as they already have the idea of what they should do and what they have to advice for the proper maintenance of the garage door.

Macron Stands by Contested Pension Plan, Despite Pressure From Marathon Strike
In his annual New Year's Eve speech, President Emmanuel Macron of France hinted there could be changes to his plan, though he insisted "fear shouldn't mean inaction."

By Adam Nossiter
PARIS — Under pressure to resolve a crippling transport strike that is weighing on the lives of his countrymen, President Emmanuel Macron of France insisted Tuesday night that he was not giving up on a pensions overhaul that has brought thousands of workers into the streets.
If France was waiting for Mr. Macron to suggest an exit strategy for ending the onerous strike — and French media has been full of such speculation in recent days — it would have been waiting in vain: The president's main message, in the traditional New Year's Eve address to France, was that he was standing firm.
The strike entered its 27th day Tuesday, and is now longer than the benchmark 1995 shutdown that fatally weakened the government at the time. Most trains are still canceled across France, the subway in Paris is largely shuttered, the capital's streets often resemble a giant parking lot, and unions look as determined as ever to face the government down.
Mr. Macron nonetheless hinted that there could be possible changes to his plan in order to get the striking rail and subway workers back to work. In his speech, he urged his own prime minister to find "a path of rapid compromise, while respecting the principles I have mentioned," to end the strike.
Last year, Mr. Macron used the annual New Year's address to try to bring calm after weeks of violent Yellow Vest protests motivated by inequality, the cost of fuel and other issues.
This time he is facing a more intractable social protest, because the strike is more organized and better led. Union leaders have been invigorated by an unexpected boost in their strength, and the strike movement appears to have the support of a majority of the French, despite the travel inconveniences.
Still, on two essential points that continue to arouse the anger of the most hard-line unions — the ones leading the strike — Mr. Macron showed no sign of giving ground.
He insisted that his measures will end France's patchwork system of 42 different pension plans, replacing it with a uniform system based on points accumulated over time. The conversion to points was being done in the name of "justice and social progress," Mr. Macron said.
"One euro contributed will give the same rights to everybody, from the first hour of work. That's far from the case today," he said. "We want everybody to benefit from a worthy pension, especially those who have been forgotten by the present system."
And he repeated the word "responsibility," which has come to represent a red flag for many unions; for Mr. Macron's government, it means that people must work longer, and the retirement age will be effectively pushed from 62 to 64 for many. With the ratio of workers to retirees in decline, officials argue that the pensions system can't avoid crippling deficit unless working lives are lengthened.
"I know that change often upsets. But fear shouldn't mean inaction," Mr. Macron said. "There's too much to do."
Mr. Macron remained vague in important points, some analysts said. "He said, 'find an agreement,' but he didn't say where to give ground," said Chloé Morin, a public opinion expert at the Fondation Jean-Jaurès, a Paris think tank.
"He's cultivating a posture, a position, of determination," she said, noting that Mr. Macron delivered his speech Tuesday night standing up, in contrast to the sitting position of his predecessors.
In practice, though, Mr. Macron has been giving small concessions to different professional groups all month, perhaps indicating that larger concessions could be possible. For the police, he partly scrapped the increased retirement age. For railway and subway workers, he is allowing a later start with the new system. Airline pilots will continue to be able to retire at 60. Dancers at the Paris Opera, who can retire at 42, will continue under the present pensions system, except for those hired after 2022.
"They've been piling up the concessions," said Ms. Morin, noting that this strategy could be perceived as giving up on the larger project.
In any case, these compromises have not calmed the atmosphere of confrontation with the unions, which in recent days have accused the French government of letting the situation fester in order to turn public opinion against the strikers. Mr. Macron's ministers in turn have accused the unions of banking on a strategy of intimidation to keep their rank and file in line.
With the number of strikers in slow but steady decline — though maintaining a critical mass to cripple transit — tensions have been mounting. On Tuesday, a video widely disseminated on Twitter showed striking Paris subway workers harassing a colleague who chose to go to work.
Early reactions to Mr. Macron's speech from his political rivals, and the unions, were hostile, foreshadowing a continuing hardening of positions.
"These weren't New Year's good wishes, but a declaration of war on millions of Frenchmen who are rejecting his reform," said the far-left leader Jean-Luc Mélenchon on Twitter. "It seemed like an extraterrestrial speaking," he said.
"It's the same formulas we've been hearing for two years," the union leader Yves Veyrier said on BFM-TV. "He hasn't convinced anybody with his points-based system."

There are 2770 Km of motorways in use, 150 km under construction and more than 1,330 planned.
The region of Castilla-La Mancha has an airport in Albacete, alongside which there is an aeronautics and logistics park. In addition, Barajas International Airport in Madrid is located just minutes from Castilla-La Mancha. Moreover, we are connected by motorway and rail network with the ports of Barcelona and Valencia.
All the provincial capitals of Castilla-La Mancha have a high-speed railway station, thus increasing mobility within the region and the connection with Madrid. In fact our region boasts 670km of high speed rail links.
Castilla-La Mancha is in a privileged location between the centre of the peninsula and the east coast. Within the region, several locations may be considered important logistics hubs, such as the town of Alcázar de San Juan, especially taking into account the European trend towards transporting freight by rail.

Q: Replacing C++ std::bind with rvalue references and varadic templates to lambda I have an function like this for an simple threadpool to enqueue an tasks on it, the following signatures are:
        template<class Fn, class... Args>
        void Enqueue(Fn&& fn, Args&&... args);

        void EnqueueBasic(std::function<void()>&& task);

One for complex functions which have any number of parameters and the other is an rvalue reference for an simple function, which stores the functor into an fixed queue like this:
(Definition of EnqueueBasic)
        _pendingTasks.push_overflow(eastl::forward<PendingTask>(task));

(Definition of Enqueue)
EnqueueBasic(std::bind(std::forward<Fn>(fn), std::forward<Args>(args)...));

It works perfectly fine, but i want tor replace it with lambdas, how i can replace std::bind to an simple lambda?, since i'm trying to learn how to C++ lambdas work, but this remained me a bit confused.
Thanks.

A: It would look like this. I'm using std::invoke (C++17) to be as generic as possible. You can replace it with a direct call if that's all you need.
EnqueueBasic([&]{ return std::invoke(std::forward<Fn>(fn), std::forward<Args>(args)...); });

CenterX, a health information network, announces a solution that further streamlines the e-prescribing process and expedites patients' access to medication. CenterX has worked with Epic to further the national goal of interoperable health care systems and provide physicians with the right information for the right patients at the right times.
Using CenterX's Enterprise Medication Authorization solution, organizations using Epic are able to capture and complete the prior authorization process in the electronic medical record. Currently, this process requires phone calls and faxing to determine if the patient has coverage for a specific medication. Integration of this prior authorization process within Epic's medical record system saves physician time, allowing them to properly plan and prepare their patients for successful prescription therapy.
The Enterprise Medication Authorization solution provides full integration with the electronic medical record and facilitates real-time exchange of information between the prescriber who orders medications and the payer who covers the costs.
"Our experience working with physicians reinforces that the CenterX approach to providing specific, actionable medication data to physicians improves care, health, and cost. Working with Epic to implement an electronic prior authorization process reflects the work of many in the industry to achieve this next step in interoperability" said Joe Reinardy, Principal, CenterX.
As the medical industry continues to transition from a paper-based system to one that leverages technology for administration, diagnosis, and treatment, CenterX will continue to drive the forefront of emerging open standards to ensure the most rapid and accurate exchange of healthcare information.

Welcome to my 2010 World Cup Commentary page. I hope that my insights are accurate, helpful and brighten up your day. As an avid West Ham Fan who has never watched his team play live (you are supposed to snif here) I know what agony is like as well as hope. And, in anticipation of this World Cup I remember Harry Redknap, when he was manager at West Ham, say about the following young Hammers talent – "These lads will be playing for England one day." Who are the lads?
It is amazing to realize how insightful Harry Redknap was back those many years ago as all of them are regulars in the England squad and most are starters…and to think that West Ham went down to the Championship with these players.
Add to that, Robert Green as the Backup Goalkeeper and Matthew Upson in Defense and you must recognize the West Ham contingent that is now a stunning part of the England team.
Hmmm….maybe you can guess who I will be rooting for…but more on that later.
This will be a hard fought group with Mexico and France the favorites. But look for a strong showing by South Africa as hosts, who will be running on home field adrenaline. Also, don't count out the cleverness of Uruguay, but I think that both teams will be outdone by a menacing Mexico team and a steady and strong French team (boo), even though they just squeaked in.
Results: Mexico & Uruguay – Honestly, who would have thought that France would implode like they did?
This group is pretty wide open and many things can happen. The logical choice is Argentina, but remember they only just made it into the final 32 having on their record an 8-1 loss to Bolivia – humiliation for Diego Maradona. But all that is behind them, so I think they will do well. It is the runner up spot that is up for grabs. Nigeria have been very strong over recent years and the fact that they are playing in Africa can only help them. South Korea…remember them? They were a team made up of amateur college students last time and shocked the world with their grit and determination. Greece have done very well in the past few years, so they are unpredictable. The outcome is anyone's guess, but I am thinking it will be Nigeria.
Results: Argentina & South Korea – A solid exhibition from Argentina and a spirited one from South Korea. Very disappointing for Nigeria.
O.K. so this is the hard group for me. Who do I root for when England play the USA? I want both to do well, but I think that I want England to beat the USA. Either way it will be sad and a draw doesn't really help anyone much. Algeria and Slovenia are both relatively weak teams and that could go against both USA and England who both have a history of blowing smoke against lesser teams. There will be a lot of nerves in this group I think, but I think that England and the USA will prevail. This could be England's World Cup to lose. All the talent is there if they can put it all together. The USA are still to truly prove themselves and they always desperately need a goalscorer, so I am hoping that a relatively unknown phenomenon will show up and blow our socks off. To bad Freddi Adu isn't in the lineup.
Results: USA & England – An incredibly tight group with drama throughout. England underachieved and USA denied, but they both make it through.
Germany are like the Philistines – they just keep coming back and everyone (well, lots of people just don't like them). They are like the evil teams – usually called "The Knights" from movies like "Little Giants" and "Facing the Giants." We (I) just wish they would go away…but they won't. (enough ranting Rod) Like group B, the second spot is truly up for grabs. Australia seems weaker this World Cup than they did in 2006, so I don' think that they have it in them. Ghana may have that African power and shock the world, but the Serbs seem to be a stubborn kind of team that gives good teams great frustration.
Results: Germany & Ghana – A very good run by both teams.
The Netherlands are a most favored team to win the cup with the likes of Robben and Van Pierse, so I definitely think that they will make it through the group stages. The final spot, however, will be a fight. Denmark usually show up to play. They are a tough team with a history of good showings in the World Cup. Japan are quick and really improving their soccer program, so they will continue to be a threat. The Camaroon, the nemesis of the English team in previous World Cups don't seem to have the pizzaz that they used to, but they will be a tough team to beat. But I think that Denmark will pull through even with a strong African fight from Camaroon.
Results: Netherlands & Japan – Solid Dutch performance and a tireless Japanese side make it through. Camaroon was on vacation.
This is a tough group. I think that Italy will come through, but will suffer a loss. The team that is hot right now is New Zealand. They may be the Cinderella team of the World Cup as they are playing with passion and enjoying themselves – with little to lose. Still, Paraguay is very strong, but Slovakia is stronger still. My intuition points me to Slovakia because they tend to be physically strong and give little room on defense.
Results: Paraguay & Slovakia – Stunned that Italy didn't go through…but you have to give credit to the other teams especially New Zealand who I thought proved the world wrong. They actually showed up to play.
This is the group of Death for the 2010 World Cup. We all expect Brazil to make it through (snooz!) but two other very strong teams will be fighting it out for that second spot. If Drogba is on his best form and can control his temper Ivory Coast will do well. If Christian Ronaldo is given some good support it will be Portugal. These games will be a catfight and a joy to watch. I truly don't expect much from North Korea…but who knows.
Results: Brazil & Portugal – Brazil, strong as ever, but honestly, a bit dull to watch this year. Even Portugal only just did enough. Ivory Coast, were you on vacation with the Camaroon?
First, let me say that I am saddened that Honduras and Chile are in the same group, but hey, it is what it is. So, Spain should get through, but I think that they will falter in one game. Not that they will lose, but that they will "almost" lose, which will shake them up a bit. The team that might make waves is Switzerland. They are primarily unknowns and yet are very strong. Both Honduras and Chile will play hard entertaining football, but I think that the Europeans will get the better of them.
Results: Spain & Chile – Spain goes through but in squeaky fashion while Chile is the big surprise.
New Zealand and Switzerland to shock the world by their accomplishments.
I'll keep posting as things take shape…we are just a few days away!
USA lost to Ghana in a long game.
Ghana lose to Uruguay after Suarez uses his hands on the line to stop the ball and then Ghana miss the penalty.
Brasil lost to the Netherland. All credit to the Dutch who came from behind to win.
Netherlands beat Uruguay in an exceptional game.
So, who is it going to be? Spain or Netherlands?
I am going for the Dutch, but I am happy for either team.
Rod, groups E and G are a little tumultuous right now. Arjen Robben has an injury from which he is trying to recover and Drogba had a broken arm. I WOULD have thought that Portugal would prevail but Nani now has a collarbone injury. I think it will be Netherlands and Japan in Group E and Brazil and Portugal in group G, but we'll see (football IS unpredictable sometimes). I want the final 2 to be Argentina and Spain 🙂 that would be a nice one faceoff.

On the publication of the first complete edition of Leonora Carrington's short fiction,The Debutante and Other Stories (Silver Press) and the republication of her memoir Down Below in this centenary year of her birth, cultural critic Marina Warner and novelist Chloe Aridjis discussed Carrington's absurd, funny and provocative fiction and paintings. Carrington first started to paint and draw among Surrealists in Paris in the 1930s, escaped the war via New York to Mexico City where she met Diego Riviera, Frida Kahlo and Octavio Paz and became involved in the Women's Liberation Movement. Warner, who came to know Carrington in the 1980s in New York, and Aridjis, Carrington's friend from Mexico City, discussed the life and legacy of a singular artist and writer with Silver Press publishers Joanna Biggs and Alice Spawls.

Is Border Patrol working to sabotage Biden administration? Former agent claims 'they do this on purpose'
Insiders who worked with DHS and Border Patrol believe that there is a 'coordinated push by Border Patrol officers' to undermine the current administration

As the GOP continues its offensive against President Joe Biden's administration over brewing immigration trouble at the southern border in the belief that the Republicans could flip the House in the 2022 midterm crisis by playing up the crisis, insiders who have worked with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Border Patrol and other executive branch agencies believe that the Border Patrol labor union is teaming up with the Republicans.
Republicans accused Biden saying that his moves to reverse former President Donald Trump's hard immigration policies have encouraged migrants to come back to the US. However, Biden told ABC News' George Stephanopoulos on Tuesday, March 16, that his administration was "sending back people" who crossed the border.

Kevin McCarthy and John Katko blame Joe Biden for 'terrorists' at border, Internet calls it Fox News 'fear porn'
Earlier this week, House Republicans John Katko (R-NY) and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif) suggested that the US-Mexico border is being exploited by terrorists due to Biden's policies and alleged that those on the terror watchlist from Iran, Turkey, and Yemen were being caught at the border. While Representative Veronica Escobar (D-Texas) said that border agents made no mention of terrorism suspects coming across the border, the Customs and Border Protection agency confirmed to Congress that four people arrested at the southern border since October 1 match names on FBI's Terrorist Screening Database, according to Axios.

However, insiders who worked with DHS, Border Patrol, and other executive branch agencies say that the allegations made by House Republicans and some of the problems arising at the border have the hallmarks of a "coordinated push by Border Patrol officers, including the leadership of the Border Patrol's pro-Trump labor union, to undermine the current administration," according to a report from The Independent.
Jenn Budd, a former Border Patrol agent who is now an immigrant rights activist working with the Southern Border Communities Coalition told the outlet, "This is a planned, coordinated attempt to sabotage the Biden administration." Budd added that the fact that unaccompanied minors are being kept at Border Patrol stations for extended periods of time appears to be "an internal crisis" created by the agency, saying, "It does not take that long to process children."
Budd recalled an episode in 2019 when she approached a border station and spoke to agents who knew she worked with Border Patrol, but were not yet aware of her current immigration activism and said, "I asked them why it was taking them so long to process — it didn't take that long [even] when I had to hand-write everything back in the day — and they would say, 'We're trying to teach them a lesson.' So they were intentionally keeping people in there for over two weeks at a time in these conditions to punish them. That is the only reason why they were doing that."

Budd added that the same people who were responsible for the harsh treatment of migrants while Trump was in office are still in charge, saying, "They do this on purpose. And none of that has changed, the management has not changed at all. But the same people who separated families and created the last crisis are doing it again."
Budd also commented on the appearance of Brandon Judd, the president of the National Border Patrol Council (NBPC) at a joint press conference with Texas Governor Gregg Abbott, during which Abbott called out Biden's immigration policies. Budd suggested that the measure was a deliberate attempt to undermine the chain of command that runs from rank-and-file agents to the president.
Budd believes that even the best attempts to "house-clean" Customs and Border Protection by the current Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas will not be sufficient as long as Border Patrol's union continues to exercise an effective veto over policy by "spreading propaganda" with Republican officials.


Forty years of riding and I finally found someone who enjoys riding as much as I do! Mary Jane and I met 3 years ago on match.com, we knew right away we were soul mates. After a year of riding behind me, Mary Jane took the MSF course and bought her first motorcycle, an 883L Sportster. We rode to BBB last year for our first time. We had such a great time riding and hanging out on Dickson Street that we decided to do the same this year.
At last year's rally, we met a couple from Louisiana who were staying in our hotel. They married during the rally, but not at the event. We thought that sounded like a great idea, so we checked into getting hitched in Arkansas and the prerequisites. Then we had a brainstorm and inquired about having the ceremony at BBB. A resounding yes was the reply. My sister and brother in law married at a rally in Georgia 21 years ago where I was the best man. They are going to be our best man and maid of honor this year.
This year is even more special as Mary Jane has stepped up to a new Fat Boy and is looking forward to tackling some of Arkansas twisties that we didn't get to ride last year. With friends coming in, it is sure to be very memorable. This will be our second trip to Bikes, Blues and BBQ, and we are going to get hitched on Friday at 6:10 pm on the main stage! We are very excited and looking forward to celebrating with all our Brothers and sisters.
Bikes, Blues and BBQ would like to congratulate Mike and Mary on their upcoming marriage and wish them many years, and miles, of happiness. Life is good!

EMC E5
The EMC E5 was one of the final cab models the builder produced for passenger services before becoming an official division of General Motors (more precisely, Electro-Motive became a GM division while both models were in production). Like most other early E models EMC the E5 was built exclusively for a single railroad, the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy. Internally, it was virtually identical to every other E model save for its relatively new GM prime mover. Externally, the only significant change from previous designs then cataloged (the EA, E1, E2, E3, and E4) was the addition of fluted stainless steel, a trademark of both the Burlington's passenger trains and the Budd Company. Today, #9911A (the Silver Pilot) is preserved and operable at the Illinois Railway Museum, using an original consist of equipment.
The EMC E5 began production in early 1940. It was ordered by the CB&Q to power the railroad's new Zephyr passenger train fleet which included names like the Afternoon Zephyr, Morning Zephyr, Nebraska Zephyr, Ak-Sar-Ben Zephyr, and the American Royal Zephyr. Per Electro-Motive's common practice for passenger models, the E5 used an A1A-A1A truck setup (meaning the center axle was unpowered) and featured two GM model 567 prime movers; combined these could produce 2,000 horsepower. Additionally, using four of GM's standard model D7 traction motors the E5 offered 56,500 pounds of starting tractive effort and 31,000 pounds continuous. Once again, EMC gave the E5 a "slant nose" design, commonly used on the E3 and E4, which disappeared entirely following the E6 as both E and F models used the classic "bulldog" design.
Other E Series Models
The Early EA/E1/E2 Models
E3, Replacing The Winton With The 567
Seaboard Air Line's E4
E6, The First Production Passenger Model
Rock Island's Unique AB6, Designed For The "Rocky Mountain Rocket"
The Successful E7, Debuting EMD's Iconic "Bulldog Nose" Carbody
E8, EMD's Continues Its Reign
E9, Last In The Series
Production of the EMC E5 ran through mid-1941 and although the design was manufactured for over a year only 11 E5As and 5 E5Bs were built. The CB&Q first began receiving its locomotives in February and March of 1940 when E5A's 9910A-9912A, 9909, and Fort Worth & Denver City 9980A arrived along with E5Bs 9910B-9912B, Colorado & Southern 9950B, and Fort Worth & Denver City 9980B. That concluded its order of B units but another A arrived in October of that year, CB&Q 9913. Finally, in June of 1941 just months before the United State entered World War II A units 9914A, 9914B, 9915A, and 9915B arrived completing the order. The Burlington apparently really liked their E5s as they remained in service all of the way through the 1960s although some units were retired prior to that time.
In many ways, the E5 was simply a variant design as the company had already began production on the E6 in 1939 that coincided with the release of its publicly successful FT model used in freight service. The E6 sold more than 100 A an B units and the following E7 and E8 designs outshopped more than 1,000 altogether. By the time the war had ended EMD was fully entrenched as the leader of the diesel locomotive market pulling away from the American Locomotive Company whose beautiful but mechanically trouble-prone PA fell behind the E series in sales and interest. General Motors' subsidiary would soon begin to dominate the industry by the 1950s releasing models like the GP7 and GP9. In any event, as mentioned above one of these beautiful locomotives was preserved, #9911A, which resides at the Illinois Railway Museum. It is occasionally operates and has even been featured in movies (notably "A League of Their Own" and "Flags of Our Fathers").

For more information on the history of Electro-Motive's covered wagons noted historian Brian Solomon has published a book entitled, Electro-Motive E-Units and F-Units: The Illustrated History of North America's Favorite Locomotives, which superbly details the entire line from its early days in the mid-1930s to the end of production. He also has another entitled, EMD Locomotives, which generally highlights the history of EMD from its earliest beginnings in the 1920s and phenomenal successes in the mid-20th century to its decline during the 1980s at which time it fell behind General Electric and was eventually sold by General Motors in 2005. The book features 176 pages and is filled with excellent photography and illustrations.

Lot 119: Bentley Turbo R
Classic Cars, Barons (1 August 2006)
The 135 mph Bentley Turbo R was launched at the Geneva Show in March, 1985. It was said that the Bentley Mulsanne Turbo should remain in production too but it soon became apparent that the Mulsanne Turbo was totally outclassed by the Bentley Turbo R. Modified front and rear suspension, the first-time use of alloy wheels, wider tyres, and a front air dam put the car's handling in the thoroughbred sports car category. The Bentley Turbo R achieved a sales figure which made it one of Rolls-Royce's best-ever selling models, which is probably why it remained in production until 1994.With its 6.7 litre V8 engine and Garret Air Search turbo charger, the Turbo R produced vast amounts of power while the aforementioned chassis modifications and uprated brakes took care of the stopping and handling.This example is offered complete with the original service booklet, which has a large number of service stamps, plus details of a speedometer head change at 50,000 miles. The car is said to be in good, all round condition and is finished in Royal blue metallic with beige hide interior piped blue.The vendor does state that he has recently spent (March 2006) nearly �3,000 at Jack Barclay on suspension work, including replacement springs and spring seats.Outstanding value for money.

And I love their reactions when they tried to answer the question but failed to do so at the beginning of the video. JaeJoong's astonished reaction accompanied by his very cute "Eh?!" was priceless. <333 It was also funny how they laughed at their comical actions while watching the video of Changmin and Yoochun doing the gag dance for the first time (I guess) during the shooting of their MV. Maybe it's only during these situations when 'evidences' of their amusing behavior are shown to them that they actually realize how sidesplitting they are most of the time sometimes. LOL.
SM Entertainment's new boyband named SHINee (pronounced as 'shiny') is getting popular by the day since their debut. Well, I really can't blame fangirls people from adoring these young kids because they are indeed talented. Their single 'Noona is so pretty (Replay)' is very catchy and above average for a debuting group of young boys. I must also say that their dance moves are great, too especially Taemin's. Sometimes I'm curious how on earth SM finds such talented guys and how can they manage to give them this much popularity early on while other companies always have a hard time promoting their artists? Maybe SM Entertainment is really THIS powerful. No wonder almost everyone who dreams of being an artist strives to be part of SM.
My favorite member is Jonghyun. I love his voice and I think his dancing is also good. But I'm not YET in severe fangirl-ing mode with him since they're practically a new group and not too much information about them are available on the internet. Plus, I can't believe I'm fangirl-ing over someone YOUNGER than me. But age doesn't matter when it comes to these things, right? Isn't DBSK's fans in Japan also composed majority of older women? So it's ok, right? Yeah right. Talk about trying to justify my actions.
I love this particular guesting of the boys. They were so funny and dorky. The "horizon dance" was the funniest thing ever! LOL. And Changminie is so cute here… a VERY witty guy, I must say. Hahaha. And JaeJoong's message to his future wife was just sooo sweet! Cook for her wife at least 1 meal a day? Isn't he a sweetie? Awww… This guy is <3.
Just now while lurking at DBSK's thread at Soompi, I found out that DBSK's next Japanese single was out on the internet already although it will be officially released on the 23rd day of July this year. I'm too lazy to actually look for the song in mp3 format so I just downloaded the one and only video (I think) of the song that is now uploaded in YouTube and then I just converted it in mp3 format using my converter (thank god for converters! ;p).
Japanese title: Doushite kimi o suki ni natteshimattandarou?
English title: Why have I fallen in love with you?
OMG. The song was über nice! I loved it! The very first time I heard it, I was like WOW! I mean, I love most of DBSK's songs and most of the songs on my 'favorite' list are actually their Japanese singles (don't get me wrong. I DO love their Korean songs, too) but this one is different from the rest. With their other singles, I had to listen to them at least thrice (especially in singles where the boys decide to 'play' 'experiment' with their voices just like what they did to Purple Line) before I really come to like them but with this one, I loved it the instant it reached my ear and my brain was able to process the melodic voices of the five members.
Aside from the debate on where on earth DBSK is nowadays, the other hot topic right after HB is the RUMORED romantic relationship between DBSK's Xiah Junsu and SNSD's leader Taeyon. It's actually all over the internet nowadays and is one of the hottest topics being discussed in many forums nowadays. I should know because lurking at different forums has been my hobby these past few weeks. Apparently, some fans who attended the recently held KMF saw some TaeSu moments and even had a chance to capture them on camera. Other fans even said that they were spotted having some "couple moments" (a.k.a hugging and pinching the cheeks thingy) at some place (at A&F,Ii think). As soon as this topic was brought up together with the pictures (that were supposed to serve as "evidences"), many netizens – especially Junsu's fans – can't get enough of it. They had different reactions to the news – some were happy because according to them Junsu and Taeyon make-up a cute couple; some, on the other hand just shrugged the news off; some offered possible explanations for the said scenes; some are still in denial; and many hearts were broken upon hearing this news, my friend's included.
My friend asked me to tell her once I find the pictures of Junsu and Taeyon's "sweet" moments at A&F, which according to her were posted on one blog that she apparently cannot find. It's not like I'm good at looking up and searching for things in the internet, but let's just say browsing different websites has been my pastime since our summer vacation started (and which will end in a few days T_T). I obliged to her request and just after searching for a few minutes, I stumbled upon a multiply site where some "interesting" photos of Junsu and Taeyon where posted. These are of course different from the ones that are usually posted nowadays (talking about the holding hands/low five pictures at HB). These pictures I believe were taken while they were walking at LA street. I don't know if these are the A&F pictures but nevertheless, I figured my friend (and some other people engrossed on this topic) would want to see.
"I don't think it's dating….YET.
Honestly by looking at the pictures, I really can't make up my mind if the guy was Junsu or not. Apart from having a poor eyesight, I'm also not too familiar with his body features (as in the detailed ones) or whatsoever for me to know that he actually is the guy in the pictures above. But basing from his height. built, and duckbutt and also from the confirmations of his fans, maybe he is the guy. Moreover, the "witness" already said she saw them with her own eyes, I guess it really is Junsu.
Anyway, I'm not affected with the rumor since Junsu's not my love among the DBSK members. I'm not heartbroken unlike many girls are right now but I have to admit that I was a bit shocked when I first heard the rumor. Maybe it's because it's quite hard for me to imagine the supposed "innocent" one among the five dongbang boys actually doing such bold actions for a girl AND in public. I think among all the members, having a rumor with some girls has been JaeJoong (to my dismay T_T) and Yoochun's forté. Junsu along with Changmin have been the ones who are usually spared from these kinds of rumors. And having said this, it's really a bit shocking for the dolphin boy to actually be involved in a big and controversial one. Wait, aren't all news of girls with DBSK always big?
My opinion on this rumor? Well, let's just give Junsu and Taeyon a break. There's no confirmation of their true relationship so I would give them the benefit of the doubt. As they say, anyone is innocent until proven guilty. There are so many possible reasons for such actions of Junsu and Taeyon. Its possible that they are just really close friends, oppa-dongsaeng kind of relationship, getting-to-know-you stage, or it may be true that they are together. No one really knows what kind of relationship they have but them and no one will know until anyone of them decides to talk about it. So until then, these will remain as RUMORS.
Woah, that was quite a long realization that hopefully I can also keep in mind when JaeJoong is caught in a similar situation. I hope I can be calm and composed like this when that time comes (although I wouldn't want that happening anytime soon). Hahaha.
*** If you want to read the entry where I got the pictures and the quoted text, click HERE.
Yunho and Heechul, a couple?
Well, a least that's what Yunho's ex-girlfriend thought.
Yunho mentioned during their guesting on SBS's Star Show that he and his ex-girlfriend (before DBSK debuted) broke up because of Super Junior's Heechul. Apparently, his then girlfriend spotted him and Heechul together and has mistaken Heechul for a girl. Thinking that Yunho was cheating on her, she broke up with him no matter how hard Yunho tried to explain that Heechul is a guy. LOL.
Ok, I'm officially announcing that JaeJoong is the HOTTEST person alive and my firm belief of the statement "nobody's perfect" is shattered by this gorgeous guy. Last time I checked I am certain that he is human, but now, I'm having doubts if he really is human. I mean, how can a beautiful and perfect creature like him be called human? Can somebody please tell me what he really is? Because as of now, I can't think straight. I'm just so mesmerized and engrossed with everything about this guy.

Ryan Greenaway-McGrevy on housing supply, urban planning, earthquakes, rent controls, transportation, foreign buyer bans & more
27th Apr 18, 10:00am
by Ryan Greenaway-...
Today's Top 10 is a guest post from Ryan Greenaway-McGrevy, a Senior Lecturer in Economics and the Director of the Centre for Applied Research in Economics at the University of Auckland.
As always, we welcome your additions in the comments below or via email to david.chaston@interest.co.nz.
And if you're interested in contributing the occasional Top 10 yourself, contact gareth.vaughan@interest.co.nz.
See all previous Top 10s here.
1. Oversupply? What oversupply?
Kevin Erdmann at the Mercatus Centre reckons that there was no over-supply of housing prior to the housing crash in the US.
It is an argument worthy of careful consideration. Many (myself included) have long ascribed to the view that any housing crash in New Zealand could not be as bad as in the US because supply has been so restricted here. If Erdmann is right I would have to revisit that view.
2. Subsidising the mansions.
Jaap Weel at the Tech for Housing Blog discusses how restrictive land use regulations subsidise mansions in the US.
A similar point could be made for Auckland. Purchasing a 'heritage' villa in the inner suburbs will set you back more than a million dollars these days – putting them out of the reach of most Auckland families.
But think about how much more expensive these suburbs would be if homebuyers had to compete against property developers looking to level the site and build apartments. Much of the inner suburbs are zoned Single House under the Auckland Unitary Plan – and that represents a subsidy for the households that are wealthy enough to buy into those neighbourhoods.
3. Zoning in.
The Californian state legislature looks to take zoning authority away from cities. That is a bold move.
Senate Bill 827, written by state Sen. Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco), would loosen or eliminate restrictions on height, density, parking and design for residential properties near major rail and bus stops
However, the latest news suggests that high-rise apartments have been stripped from the bill.
Nonetheless, Salim Furth at the Mercatus Center reckons the law would decrease rents in LA and San Francisco by about 5%.
4. Transporting the population.
New research explains why developing economies are often highly-urbanised despite being more dependent on agriculture: Transportation costs.
The corollary is that developed economies have inherited cities that are more evenly-distributed. Paul Krugman ponders whether the smaller of these cities will survive, and concludes that it will be an uphill struggle for regional development policies to preserve their viability.
5. Put a cap on it.
Rent control is making a comeback in the US. It seems that supply cannot keep up with demand, leading to a call for rents to be capped:
Elena Popp, founder of the Los Angeles-based Eviction Defense Network, said expanding rent control is the best way to protect affordability.
"We cannot build our way out of a crisis of this proportion," she said.
A friend of mine subletted a rent-controlled apartment in in Washington, D.C. She paid market rent to her "roommate", who held the lease from the landlord at much cheaper rent-controlled rate. Unsurprisingly, her roommate was never there, but she did keep some belongings locked in her "bedroom".
Is there a point at which the cost of living becomes so expensive that rent controls would be the best of a terrible bunch of options? A note to our local policymakers – please sort this mess out before we reach the point where such drastic measures are required here.
6. Shake it up.
This detailed NYT article on the significant risks that earthquakes pose to apartment buildings and housing in San Francisco offers more than a few lessons for us here in the Shaky Isles.
7. Foreign buyer bans, housing development, and lessons for New Zealand.
As Vancouver continues to debate a foreign buyer ban, this Op-Ed piece in the Globe and Mail suggests Canada should follow Singapore's "dual-track" policy by creating massive government-funded housing developments for its citizens.
Today, 80% of 3.8 million Singaporean citizens and permanent residents live in more than one million public Housing and Development Board apartments. HDB flats, as they are called, are affordable, safe, modern and well served by amenities. The country's 1.8 million non-citizens and wealthier Singaporeans occupy private housing that are among Asia's most expensive.
Are there any lessons here for New Zealand? Following the Singaporean model would mean putting Kiwibuild on steroids, and we haven't seen this kind of government intervention for over a generation.
It is worth noting that Singapore is one of the few countries that ranks higher than New Zealand in the Heritage Foundation's Economic Freedom Index – a measure of an economy's competitiveness and openness – yet it is not averse to large-scale government intervention when necessary.
Would opponents of our own foreign buyer ban would welcome this kind of state involvement instead?
While we are on that topic, there are good arguments against our government's impending ban on foreign buyers.
Unfortunately, there have also been some less-convincing arguments put forward over the past few months. To round out this week's top ten I will look at some of the arguments that don't really fly.
8. It's xenophobic.
Some have gone so far as to suggest that it is racist. This is an easy argument to debunk, since the ban applies to non-residents irrespective of their ethnicity.
It's also a bold claim to make about a country with one of the highest foreign-born populations in the world. Nearly one in four kiwis was born overseas, which is much a much higher proportion than that of the US or the UK. If anything, we seem to be more welcoming to people from overseas.
But if we are going to start a conversation about ethnicity and home ownership in this country, I would humbly suggest that we start with the fact that the proportion of Pasifika people living in owner-occupied housing plunged by thirty-eight percentage points between 1991 and 2013. The figure for Māori is not much better, at thirty-two percentage points.
Let that sink in for a moment.
Home ownership comes with a lot of benefits in New Zealand – particularly for families, which tend to need stability in order to thrive. It really is unacceptable that any community in our country would be so severely marginalised. But aside from some brief coverage, this sad fact is not persisting in the headlines.
Perhaps it is the things that we are not saying, and the conversations we are not having, that really reveal the ongoing battle with prejudice in our country.
9. It is anti-free trade – and our economy depends on free trade.
This is another easy one to debunk. Trade refers to the exchange of goods and services – production, in other words. But land is not produced – in fact it is an input to productions. That means land - and housing - is fundamentally different to milk powder or lamb exports.
Need it be said that building an economy around selling-off irreproducible assets is unsustainable?
Nonetheless, this view resonates with the all-to-pervasive idea that free markets are always best. But residential housing will never be a laissez-faire market – and I am willing to bet that most of us like it that way.
In a free property market, I can buy the place next to yours and turn it into an iron foundry. Or a night club. Or both. I hope you like C & C Music Factory, because I do. But I digress.
The vast majority of us want various regulations to protect our properties and neighbourhoods. But make no mistake, those same regulations infringe on your rights as a property owner.
Free markets are integral to the ongoing wealth of our society, but they cannot solve all our problems. We must remember that free markets are a means to an end, not the end in itself.
10. Fewer luxury golf courses.
We have families living on the streets and kids growing up in motels. But if we are not careful, we could end up with fewer high-end golf courses.
I am not even sure this is a sound argument, since golf courses like Kauri Cliffs are profit-seeking businesses, and we continue to welcome foreign direct investment.

I have argued for Rent Controls in the past, and as many have pointed out to me, internationally these are a dismal failure. But having followed up the criticism of me and my argument, i researched the documents recommended and found that my suspicions were correct - rent controls in isolation are risky and generally do not work. By the time Governments have introduced rent controls, the problems with respect to housing have become too big and too complex for a single piece of regulation to be effective. In league with rent controls other regulation must be included which must cover the standard of the accommodation, and prevention of land banking to ensure all available property is rented. This should prevent the creation of slums and ensure the supply is maintained. i also believe that such regulation will take quite a few people out of the property investment area, reducing the overall cost of homes and allowing First home Buyers back in at more affordable costs.
Equally I am concerned about the fall in Maori and Pacifica ownership, and suspect that in part it is also a consequence of the overall Free Market Economy model which generally has had a greater adverse impact, (because these groups are over represented in the lower socio-economic groups), as well as the housing crisis.

Golf courses are one of my (many) hobby horses. Some clubs are privately owned - many on council owned land. If you look at the value of Golf courses owned by Auckland Council it is in the range of $2-3 billion. In other words the inherent subsidy of golf is greater than the subsidy of public transport.
This is also true of bowling clubs, where Auckland bowls have a documented policy to quit land they own, sell the assets and move to Council-owned sites with a couple of million in their pocket.
You touch on the inherent subsidy of white middle class interests in the zoning of 'leafy suburbs' . It amuses me to hear people rail against the Treaty Settlement where there is so much massive on-going subsidy of the narrow interest of a narrow interests of middle-class communities.
by Lapun | 27th Apr 18, 3:08pm 1524798480
Are you saying the value of golf courses is increasing $2-3billion per year? Surely the subsidy of PT is an annual figure.
Just as a thriving PT benefits car drivers so do golf courses/bowling greens for nearby home owners whether they play or not. I lived in London with all its open parks (inherited from royal hunting grounds) and preferred it to when I lived in NY with its minimal public parks [with the exception proving the rule - wouldn't Manhattan be hell with its central Park?].
BTW the nearest golf course or bowling green to my house is about 5km.
In the UK during my life councils sold off school playing fields for a one off profit and an eternal mistake.
by Ex Expat | 27th Apr 18, 11:34am 1524785640
Absolutely correct on Number 2. My home was zoned single home and is not subdividable by right under the new plan as it's not > 800 m2. While my home is expensive with a supposed value of $2,500,000 the cost per square meter of land and occupied space is lower than most other options, which is why I can't get value in downsizing. I'm economically trapped in a gilded cage (cue sounds of violins)

#8 Xenophobic. ??? I have a belief we would do much better if we had policy that aimed to benefit New Zealanders. Including highly restricted immigration, limits of foreign ownership, and sometime frank protectionism. I am strongly of the view that we should put New Zealand first. (No, not the political party)
Many would argue thats benefits us, and that's ok. But it is hugely aggravating to hear those proposals described as xenophobic and racist.

A very important point. Actual free-market exponents are incredibly rare. Most people simply want regulation that favours them.
by Ex Expat | 27th Apr 18, 12:29pm 1524788940
Yes, but then there is the competing interest between the incumbent entitlement and what rights others have to take/diminish some of that entitlement. If it's open slather it will be those with the least resources that will end up worst off.
by RickStrauss | 27th Apr 18, 1:15pm 1524791700
Yes, so the point is we should avoid the absurdities we see posted sometimes, e.g. "These nasty people just want to regulate everything, they think they know what's best for my life, we just need government to get out of the way, it's Orwellian to have government thinking of laws to create good outcomes for more people, nanny state!" and be a little more realistic about things.
Rick - a poor analogy that confuse building and noise. There would be no problem building a combined iron foundry and night club next door to me so long as you keep to noise control regulations. It gets interesting with rules about shading the neighbour - so the 2 metre fence seems a decent if arbitrary regulation to me. BTW a previous owner attempted to install a 1.5 metre retaining wall and then add a 2 metre fence on my property - fortunately for my neighbour that was knocked by by council planning consent.
Arbitrary rules can work so long as they are fairly clearly understood by everyone and do not change like yoyos. Ref city driving limit of 50kph.

Number 7. Having worked in Singapore I agree these HDB flats work well. I believe the reason they work is because Singaporean people are law abiding citizens who co-exist well and have mutual respect for each other whereas if 1 Million of these were built in central Auckland the undesirables would take over and turn the places into slums.
The only way it would work would be a dedicated policing force and laws made specifically for the people living in or visiting these apartments.
Having been brought up in state housing (wasn't John Key too?) but in the UK so long as a broad cross section of society live in them all is well. It is once they start empathising need while curtailing numbers that problems occur.
BTW the house next door is a state house with nobody living in it since November - does anyone know how I can find out what is happening to it? It looks OK to me and having known the previous occupant for 15 years fairly sure it is not a meth contaminated house and if it was why no work being done to it?
by Property Leader | 27th Apr 18, 12:27pm 1524788820
On the issue of rent control. Firstly Phil Twyford has promised no rent controls. So there clearly is a very high chance of rent controls being introduced. No point in making a promise then not breaking it.
My understanding of the tenant laws in USA states is where the percentage of renters to owner occupiers exceeds 50% then more tenant friendly laws are passed. New Zealand has had rent controls in the past. They last as long as the party who passed them stays in power. Nuf said!
by Neven911 | 27th Apr 18, 3:13pm 1524798780
There is a high correlation between these myths and the views opined by one Mike Hosking (I note he figures in the links more than once), I'm not sure if it's an indictment of our media or our society that a clearly deluded and self absorbed individual get so much attention, his free trade, market forces and investment views regarding shelter beggar belief and should be ignored.
Thank you - that was written with great self-control.

#1 Undersupply of housing: just to get my head around today's voodoo economics...with interest rates virtually certain to rise at least 2% in the next 2-3 years, one can see a time soon where there will be no bids at auctions. Will our economists still be calling it a "shortage"? I guess if you classify an economic "need" for housing as unfulfilled, then there will always be a shortage, as there will be those who "need" a house but couldn't even afford to scrape $1,000 deposit if that was the requirement.
#5 Rent control: that would be a sure fire way to destroy the rental market here. Private landlords would logically exit the market if returns were not covering costs and an acceptable return on capital (already happening). What then...the govt just increases state house supply and becomes the landlord for a major chunk of the population?
by Pragmatist | 27th Apr 18, 5:43pm 1524807780
Is it? According to the lastest corelogic report:
"Movers continue to bide their time, so this leaves multiple property owners as the key buyer type of interest. After easing off in the wake of LVR restrictions, they have returned their share of the market to 37%. To date, extra regulations around the
provision of rental property do not appear to be deterring investors"
That was nationwide, for Auckland they are at 40%. First Home buyers are 22 and 24%
#5. Demand to purchase housing falls immediately. Prices would fall to the point where rental yields are attractive at the rent-controlled rate. So current landlords would take a hit, but there's nothing they can do about it. Meanwhile first time home buyers get a chance to get into the market at a reasonable price.
The problem with rent controls is that they remove the incentive to make a house attractive. Although when I ask people from Europe - where rent controls are common - they seem to think their housing is up to scratch.
#3 Zoning: California has the highest net migration figures of any state in the US, so it's not exactly up there on the desired states to live in list, for very good reason. Rampant regulation, on a par with the period during the decline of the Roman Empire, is evidence of the decline of California, so it's not a model that we should be looking at.

2 - subsidising mansions.
But think about how much more expensive these [inner] suburbs would be if homebuyers had to compete against property developers looking to level the site and build apartments.
A bit less than 15.3% in Ponsonby, if I read your last post correctly.
Try comparing mansions in Whitford with a suburban development in Howick or Beachlands to see what a real subsidy looks like.

#1. Missed the point 1. As per your article:
'There are two very different housing markets within the United States: the Closed Access market, where new housing is highly constrained, rents rise relentlessly, and households are forced to make difficult choices as housing expenses eat up their budgets; and the rest of the country, where homes can generally be built to meet demand, housing construction is healthy, and housing expenses remain at comfortable levels for the typical household.'
In Texas, ie 'the rest of the country,' where 'homes are generally built to meet demand' ie no over or under supply,' had the least movement in house prices re the GFC. There was no bubble in the rest of the country to begin with, so no bubble to burst. Prices remained stable, pre, during, and post GFC at approx.. 3x multiple income.
Restrictive/Closed Access markets have booms and busts, both in supply/demand and price, with the curves being counter cyclical ie volatile in supply/demand and price. In less restrictive markets the curves lie almost on top of each other and the price remain low and stable.
#2 Missed the point 2. It's not the house is artificial cheap or subsidized, but the restrictions placed on all the other land makes them a lot more expensive than it should. Old villas on large sections are no more subsidized than rural zoned land means that farmers are being subsidized.
If these restrictions were removed, then developers would buy the land that was the most cost effective to develop, which wouldn't be the costly done up villas, but the empty/run down/derelict sites and buildings.
And if these historic villa areas were worth preserving then the owners can always put private covenants on them to preserve it in perpetuity.
If you want to find solutions to NZ's housing unaffordability, you need to look to those jurisdictions that already have true affordability, not those that have the same problems we do.

Did we not have rent controls back in the 70's? Did they not remove them as we ended up with not enough rental properties.

Today was one of those crafting slump days for me. I was exhausted when I got home from work and fell asleep for 2 hours. When I woke up, I had to double time it to get my Paper Craft Crew design team submission done for the week.
I just couldn't get it together…even when provided with the idea!
This cute little stamp and die set is called Hocus Pocus and it is from Waffle Flower. There are way more pieces to it and I have no doubt you can create really fun scenes with it.
I just couldn't get it to work. This was try 3. Yes. I said try 3.
The Paper Craft Crew challenge for the week is a Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge. I essentially had to pick 3 elements in a row and make a card. Sounds so simple.
I picked the top row: Animals, Natural Element, and Spooky.
I assumed Halloween can count as spooky and the cat is an animal. Those little "crystal" stars are my element. I know I'm pushing my luck here. Go with me on this one. It really was my best effort today!
I love the little Waffle Flower stamp and die combos. They come in really nice thick plastic sleeves. There is no need to repackage them to store. They are nicely done!
Thank you so much for stopping by today! I'm embracing the imperfections on this day…and maybe tomorrow too!

Where Did It All Go Wrong For Manchester United?
Since Alex Ferguson retirement in 2013 one of the most trophy ladened English team has been reduced to would I call it nothing! Manchester United has been one of the most prolific English teams in the history of football, having 20 Premier league titles though out of those 20, Ferguson won 13. Ferguson won 38 trophies for the English team in his 26years at the club. So does this mean without Ferguson there would be no such thing as Manchester United?
David Moyes failure to carry the team to win any major trophy after succeding Ferguson seemed to be just the team making a wrong choice of manger. Same happened to Louis Van Gaal the following year and now The Special One, Jose Mourinho is now faced with an uphill task to bring the team back to stardom. This now begs the question where did it go wrong?
just earlier this week they were trashed by there rivals Chelsea an astonishing 4-0 and had lost a lot of important matches prior to that match.
Is it that Ferguson couldn't find a suitable successor?
Is it the almost new era of players?
Or, is it the owners of Manchester United itself?
All these questions need to be answered together with the major question of the day, WHERE DID IT ALL GO WRONG FOR OUR WONDERFUL TEAM?

Android 6.0 Marshmallow to Arrive on Galaxy Note 5 in the Second Week of April, and on Galaxy S6 the Next
It was reported that the Samsung Galaxy S6, S6 Edge and Note 5 are getting Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow update. Now, there are some updates about what is going for the Note 5 and S6.
As of yet, many Samsung users are still patiently waiting for the latest Android OS updates, while many devices are already receiving Marshmallow, with the most recent the LG G3. For example, Telus is already busy showing its monthly security update to Nexus devices, which is stated to arrive on the 4th of April. However, Samsung users need not falter, as the Samsung Note 5 is now scheduled for Marshmallow on the 6th of April, which will be followed by updates for the newly released Galaxy S7 and S7 edge 3 days after, with bug fixes. And finally, the long-awaited Android 6.0 update for the Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge was reportedly to be dropped on the 14th and 18th of April, respectively.
As for the Samsung Galaxy S6, which was released back in 2015, reports suggest that Samsung has rolled out the Android 6.0.0 Marshmallow update for it, with the model number G920F said to be eligible to receive the update through XXU3DPAD. Apparently, the update brings a newer version of the TouchWiz interface, together with the brand new OS. Previously, there are complaints among users that they cannot remove unnecessary pre-installed apps from their devices that occupy space. But with the latest update, they are now able to uninstall pre-installed apps from the Galaxy S6.
Aside from the new TouchWiz interface, some other new features that the update brings to the S6 include the Android Pay, Doze Mode and fingerprint support. However, it is important to note that the firmware is unbranded and that it is only meant only for the Galaxy S6, which has a model number of G920F. If you try to install the update on other variants of the phone, then it might lead to damage or corruption of the device.
Moreover, various reports also suggest that Samsung is planning to roll out the Android N OS for the Galaxy S6 later this year. It would also include other devices, including the Galaxy Note 4, Galaxy S6 Edge Plus, Galaxy S6 Duos and the Galaxy Note 5.
For future updates about this, keep visiting our site.

The scientists studied the long-term record of reversals in the Earth's magnetic field in sediments in the Newark basin, a prehistoric lake that spanned most of New Jersey, and in sediments with volcanic detritus including zircons in the Chinle Formation in Petrified Forest National Park in Arizona. They collected a core of rock from the Triassic Period, some 202 million to 253 million years ago. The core is 2.5 inches in diameter and about 1,700 feet long, Kent said.
Prior to this study, dates to accurately time when magnetic fields reversed were unavailable for 30 million years of the Late Triassic. That's when dinosaurs and mammals appeared and the Pangea supercontinent broke up. The break-up led to the Atlantic Ocean forming, with the sea-floor spreading as the continents drifted apart, and a mass extinction event that affected dinosaurs at the end of that period, Kent said.
"Developing a very precise time-scale allows us to say something new about the fossils, including their differences and similarities in wide-ranging areas," he said.


Children's Mercy Hospital of Kansas City, Mo. suffered data breach due to inaccuracy in online scheduling application. Mercy has informed around 4,076 employees' about the breach. Application was used by the Mercy two years ago to enroll employees and spouses onto its wellness program through StayWell Health Management.
Affected data includes employee names, home and email addresses, phone numbers and dates of birth. No Social Security numbers or financial data were included. It's unknown at this time how the data was breached.
"We do not believe that affected individuals are at risk for identity theft, and we do not believe individuals need to take action due to the non-sensitive nature of the information," Melissa Gilkerson, a StayWell spokeswoman said.
StayWell has provided them with the number to a telephone helpline. So far, the helpline has received about 23 calls. The data was stored by a vendor used by StayWell. When company became aware of the breach, it immediately removed data from the affected system, StayWell said.


Time is what real estate agents and investors value more than almost anything. They need to be able to prioritize effectively with closing sales, do showings, and prep any paperwork for their clients. Outsourcing a real estate live-answering service frees up a lot of valuable time for realtors and allows them to focus on other aspects of their work.
But, it's about more than just freeing up time; we understand how important it is to real estate agents and investors that these calls are managed well. Real estate call center services from 3C Contact Services ensures that calls from potential buyers, inspectors, or from people hoping to schedule appointments are handled competently and in a way that is representative of the quality of service you offer.
With you being constantly on the move doing showings, meeting with clients, marketing yourself and your properties, it's likely that some calls are going to be missed. But one of the great benefits of a real estate phone-answering service is that you don't ever have to worry about missing a single call. We'll be able to field all of your calls, manage the conversation, and route the calls appropriately when need be.
This is a new world in which constant availability is expected. We know that's not necessarily possible since you're only one person, but working with a realtor answering service means you can maintain availability 24/7. This gives you a competitive edge on your competition who can only take calls as long as they're awake.
The rental market is surging not just in Toronto but across North America. That means agents are busier than ever as they try to keep up with what can be an unmanageable demand of their time from rental clients. This is the perfect opportunity to take advantage of our realtor answer service. The reach this service offers you is invaluable to your real estate business.
Clients today expect a high degree of customer support. As a realtor, customer support shouldn't end once the sale is over. You need to maintain the lines of communication. That comes both from being proactive in checking in on your clients, and being responsive to their inquiries. A live-answering service with well-trained agents can make that happen.
As a real estate agent, it's important you meet with as many leads as possible. The industry is competitive, and clients often make decisions based on their trust in you as an agent and how they vibe with you one on one. This is their home or property, so it's something they treasure. Support from a realtor answering service can be huge to increasing the volume of potential leads that you are able to meet face to face.
You always want to track how effective you are at converting phone calls into actual business. Tracking that information is difficult as a solo agent answering calls on the fly. But, with a live-answering service, it becomes possible to accurately measure how well you are converting leads.
Our agents are confident that they will be able to answer any of the questions clients put forth. In the instances when there is a need to route a call to the appropriate personnel, we will be sure to direct the client to the precise person who will be able to answer their inquiries.
3C Contact Services offers all this to clients. We are able to help real estate agents improve their output and better focus their efforts. If you are a real estate agent, contact us now, and we'll let you know how we can help make your business better.
