Gan was talking with Cadrus while the seals between our transport and the colony ship were established and tested. I waited till he paused to take a breath (which took an annoyingly long time) and cut into the conversation.


“I want to go on ahead and talk to the inspection team before anyone disembarks,” I said. “If they’ve found the place safe enough then we can transfer Kallak over. If not then we’ll head back to the Imperial station while the issues are corrected.”


It was a valid cover story and I was pretty sure no one in the group was running a truth detection spell. Eirda looked at me suspiciously but then that was the way she looked at everyone so I was pretty sure she hadn’t picked up on my subterfuge.


The automatic checks on the seals finished and the passage between the two ships opened in time to punctuate my words. I stepped through without waiting for anyone to object to my plan and found Illya tailing after me.


I didn’t have anything to worry about in terms of her escaping custody from the transport shuttle, but I could see the nervousness in her eyes. She couldn’t stay with the Garjarack family.


“Right,” I said and proceeded inwards. I wasn’t exactly happy to have her with me, but some part of my brain wasn’t displeased with the notion of having a combat medic along when I might get banged up.


Not that she’d be able to heal me easily, given my relationship with Void anima and what it did to receiving spells from others. I’d been working on that while I convalesced but I still got less than a tenth of the energy from a healing spell as restorative anima. It kind of sucked but it was still better than nothing in dire cases.


“We’re not going to find the inspection team,” I said when the portals between the two ships closed again. I didn’t want to scare her but it definitely wouldn’t have been fair to lead her into a situation where violence was likely without prior warning.


“The Imperial shuttle that is docked here was stolen,” I told her. “I don’t know what the thieves are up to but I’m not thinking they’re going to be super happy to see me.”


“Best case scenario, they’re peaceful but desperate and just need someone who will listen and help them out. Worst case, they intend to escape after destroying the colony ship and our transport if we don’t stop them first. Either way, Imperial support’s not going to get here in time.”


“We’re in one of the auxiliary docking chambers,” I said. “That door leads to a pressure cabin. Head in there and you’ll be safe ok?”


“I’m going to head to the engine room. Once I’ve dealt with the thieves, I’ll come back and collect you and the others.”


That didn’t convince her, but I couldn’t blame her. Taking on an unknown number of unknown adversaries was the hallmark of a bad plan. I felt the remnants of the Fate weaving tugging at me and recognized this as the “stupid moment” I was being led to.


Even without magical coercion helping them, plans that are put in motion have a tendency to continue barreling on until someone gets in their way. With my spell casting limited and too many unknown’s to count lined up before me, I was perfectly situated to be crushed beneath whatever avalanche someone had setup.


Illya either saw the gleam of insanity in my eye, or decided that fighting me on this point wasn’t going to lead anywhere she wanted to go. Whichever was the case, she nodded to me and headed over to the pressure cabin.


“Ok. Warning, you’re doing something stupid,” she said. “You’re under no orders to keep Verulia Industries property safe. Let them blow up the colony ship if they want. No one’s in it now. The safest move is to get back in the shuttle and wait for a squad of Imperial soldiers to arrive as back up.”


“That’s a fair point. Allow me to counter it with this though; I’ll be paying attention to it if it tries to leave.”


“Maybe,” she said. “I can probably detect a departure, if they’re not careful to disguise it, but I probably won’t be able to determine their arrival spot. I’d rather they get away though than lose you.”


“I appreciate the sentiment but you know I can’t take that risk. There’s Fate magic involved here. If they get away something unpleasant is going to happen, and it’ll be hard to see it coming.”


“No. They’re actually pretty good. The local scrying nodes all show the ship empty and running automated tasks,” she said.


“Very likely. Could be Gar military too, but the odds favor the humans given where the shuttle was stolen from.”


“I can’t locate them for you,” Fari said. “And the colony ship doesn’t have any internal defenses. Anti-boarding is going to be handled by Verulia security once the ships are underway.”


“All I need is for you to work the environmental controls,” I said as I wrapped a strip of cloth around my eyes.


With the blindfold on I couldn’t see anything. Not in the normal spectrum of light. That meant Fari was free to douse the lights throughout the ship and then strobe them at blinding intensity in random patterns.


She couldn’t detect the thieves, but she was able to project an overlay on my vision of the ship’s interior. Wandering around a wireframe version of the ship’s corridors was a little strange but I was able to make good time to the engine room. I figured the thieves either wanted to steal the colony ship or sabotage it. Stealing the ship would lead them to the control room but that was trivial to deal with. Fari had the systems locked down and I could call up an Imperial Cruiser to take them into custody long before they jumped out of the system. Sabotage was more problematic, The engine room was where they had the best chance of doing the most damage there so I headed there to catch them in the middle of whatever they had in mind.


As it turned, out the sabotage guess was the correct one. I found the first two covert-ops guys guarding the door into the engine room. Bolt were holding fully charged bolt casters. I’d switched to Void anima vision on the way, so the men and the guns stood out against the dark corridor as radiant beacons of light.


Between the darkness and blinding lights plus random air horn blasts over the ship’s communication system, they never saw me coming. Ten steps from the corner of the hallway, seven punches and two kicks and they were sprawled on the ground while I was barely breathing hard.


I rolled through the doorway into the engine room and dodged the another attack. The two outside the door had a third as backup.


I spun and caught him with a flying elbow to the face that mashed his head into the wall. The impact knocked the sense out of him and the guard went limp as a soggy noodle.


That was the good new. The bad news was that I felt my arm burn where I struck him. I paused as I understood what that meant. He’d had a shield up. My Void anima had instinctively ripped it away. I felt my hands and feet burning too and realized that I’d done the same thing to the two guards in the hall.


Subconscious casting, especially with Void anima, was something I did fairly often. From what Master Raychelle said, I’d probably drilled on it from a young age. Like just after I started walking. When I’d lost my mother, I’d repressed a whole lot of things, including my powers. I’d hidden inside my Void anima, all the while unconsciously practicing how to to suppress the other magics that I was developing. Most people who use Void anima on themselves manage to die horrible and brief deaths. It’s seriously dangerous stuff. Yet I’d coexisted with it for well over a decade.


Given the kind of control I had with Void anima to do exist with it for so long, I couldn’t understand where the burning was coming from. It wasn’t Energetic anima. I didn’t have a ton of that, and I could have controlled it better if I did. The obvious answer was that it was psychosomatic, lingering trauma from my fight on the volcano but it felt terribly real. And I’d seen real smoke come up from my hand. I could be hallucinating too but I didn’t think I was that far gone.


Fari’s flashing lights bought me a second to get out of the line of fire of the rest of the soldiers. They couldn’t cast their light amplification spells for nighttime work and even heat sensing spells didn’t do them much good in the warm confines of the engine room. They all had plenty


1256003  turns out they didn’t care. No matter what subsides Amazon extracts from New York and Virginia, they certainly won’t offset the labor cost differentials in those locations.


A friend of mine who works at Google several months ago predicted NYC, saying he thought that Amazon was looking for the “upgrade HQ.” It will be interesting to see if the center of gravity in the company tilts away from Seattle. And where Bezos himself spends most of his time. Another correct prognosticator was Joe Cortright, who predicted Amazon would pick multiple cities so they could retain leverage over time to keep extracting more subsidies.


This choice is a profound challenge to much of America, and particularly to red state philosophies of economic growth. At the high end of the economy, where the most value is being generated and where much of the future of the country is determined, the critical factor is ability to hire top 1% type talent. These companies need the best of the best. And that talent is located disproportionately in the coastal elite cities.


As one person tweeted, “A friend is the founder of a fintech company. They want to hire more college graduates to their Austin office instead of NYC. New talented recruits have multiple offers & most want to be in NYC, not Austin. Austin isn’t exactly a horrible place to live.”


The biggest loser in this is Chicago. Chicago had the urban location, transit, a great pipeline of talent from the Big Ten, and lower costs. That’s why I picked Chicago as the favorite in my analysis. It checked every box at some level and had lower costs than the coasts to boot.


This could well be true. Undoubtedly these items are a huge boat anchor on the city, no matter what local boosters might say.


But the talent issue shouldn’t be overlooked. Having lived in both Chicago and New York I can tell you that the caliber of talent is as different as night and day. Chicago has a ton of solid Big Ten type recruits. They are drawing the top 10-20% type people. But Chicago is very weak in top 1-2% types, and that’s a huge handicap when you are trying to position yourself as an elite player. You can’t do it without elite talent, and Chicago doesn’t have nearly enough of it. I wouldn’t be surprised if this were the key factor for Amazon.


Dallas and Atlanta were the other heartland places that could have handled the job influx. But they can console themselves by saying that they weren’t urban enough. The Columbuses and Indys of the world can feel good just to be included on the final 20 list.


But regardless of where you are, this is a big negative indicator for heartland competitiveness at the high end of the economy across the board.


Since opening her custom cake bakery in downtown Sandown 15 years ago, Shara Hill has found that people love Chickadee Hill Cakes so much that she can only receive customers by appointment only. This is due in part to the fact that her creations are a piece of art that take time, planning, and premium ingredients to make a cake that guests will be talking about for days afterwards.


"As a small custom cake studio, we pride ourselves on our attention to detail, and treat every cake as if it were for our own family events," she said. "We feel that cake should be both a celebration centerpiece and a dessert to be remembered."


Hill has baked everything from a birthday cake for a one-year old that featured a fondant ice cream truck on top to a cake for a 40 year-old hockey fan that resembled the Stanley Cup trophy, and everything in between.


If a customer can dream it, she can create it. She's even made cakes that look exactly like ice cream cones, topped with sprinkles and a confectionary cherry on top and another in the form of a plumber's derriere, complete with "plumber's crack", which celebrated the guest of honor earning his plumbing license.


A majority of Hill's orders are for brides-to-be. Hill can create a wedding cake as unique as the couple getting hitched, and that includes topping it with a fondant version of their likeness. Edible flowers, ribbons, and more regularly weave their way around her multi-tiered creations and there's virtually no limit to what she can make a cake look like. The shop also makes custom cupcakes and cake pops for all occasions.


Customers have 10 cake batter flavors to choose from as well as nine fillings and buttercream frostings each. Besides basic vanilla and chocolate, Chickadee Hill Cakes also makes lemon ginger, peanut butter, and tiramisu flavored cake. Fillings include coconut pecan caramel and Macintosh apple. She uses the freshest and most natural ingredients to make a cake that is moist and full of flavor. Hill listens carefully to each client's request and can offer recommendations and samples for the perfect flavor combination. She can also accommodate customers on a gluten-free diet.


Clients have raved about feeling right at home in Hill's shop, the affordable pricing, and of course, the taste of their custom individualized cake. The shop is open for consultation appointments Monday through Thursday from 9 AM to 2 PM and on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays at 6 or 7 PM. The rest of Hill's time is devoted to making customers happy with her sweet as well as beautiful baked goods. She especially enjoys hearing the positive feedback from satisfied customers.


"We often get feedback from clients that our cakes are the talk of the party!" she said. "Every happy celebration starts with cake, and we love playing a part in helping generations of families celebrate life's milestones."


Some passersby saw the girl lying unconscious in the street and took her to a hospital where her condition is said to be critical.


SAGAR: A teenaged girl was gang-raped here by four youths with the help of a woman, police said on Wednesday. The five were arrested.


"The incident took place late on Tuesday. The five are in custody and are being interrogated," Sagar Superintendent of Police Satyendra Shukla told the media.


The accused woman on Tuesday lured the 14-year-old girl to her house where the four youths raped her. They then dumped her near a school.


What's the big deal? Another innocent girl lost to the gang-rape culture of once a great country, but now what the world views as its cesspool. My heart cries non-stop, like those of many other Indians who are powerless to do anything for all the female victims of such barbarity and cowardice, as we know that no one will ever be hanged or sent to jail for life, and that no attempt will ever be made to send these criminals through fast-track courts because no one cares for such heinous crimes.


Set in the heart of an historic landscape, with spiral staircases, battlements and a portcullis, 14th century Bodiam Castle is one of Britain's most picturesque and romantic ancient monuments.


Battle Abbey is a partially ruined abbey complex in the small town of Battle in East Sussex, England. The abbey was built on the scene of the Battle of Hastings and dedicated to St. Martin.


Hastings Castle is a huge part of England’s history as it was the first Norman motte and bailey castle to be built in England.

Cale Tyson has been one of the hottest names in independent country and Americana for the last couple of years, yet with no full-length album to back it up. Usually it’s the other way around—an independent artist riding rave reviews of a debut LP to big opportunities.


If you have a strong penchant towards wondering about the untold stories of music’s most adept sidemen like I do, then perhaps you have already pondered upon Telecaster player Jeremy Fetzer and pedal steel player Spencer Cullum Jr. from seeing them on stage with artists like Caitlin Rose, Andrew Combs, and Jonny Fritz just to name a few.

For multiple reasons it was time to change to a new identity. Having become a global player in analytical high-tech it was inevitable to adapt a new name that is globally unique and cannot be confused with other companies.


ModuVision will present itself on the Analytica tradeshow in Munich that is held from April 10th until April 13th. Our booth is located in Hall A2, stand number 222.


After a long preparation process, Applied Instruments (now operating as ModuVision) made a series of major changes to the ownership structure of the company.<|endoftext|>SSDs have come a long way in the last six or seven months, not only in terms of capacity and cost but also when it comes to performance. Affordable drives based on JMicron drive controllers - which showed promise but were let down by poor random write speeds - have given way to those powered by dedicated ARM processors and dedicated cache chips.


We’ve already looked at one such drive in the form of OCZ’s Vertex, built around Indilinx’s 'barefoot' platform and it crushed every other MLC based drive on the market at both sequential and random speeds, while suffering very little from the performance degradation that can affect Intel’s SSDs. It was the first SSD we’ve seen that’s substantially faster than a conventional hard disk drive no matter the performance criteria, and it proved worthy of a recommendation.


Today we’re looking at Corsair’s take on an ARM chip and cache enhanced SSD, built using Samsung designed architecture. Considering Indilinx is staffed by ex-Samsung employees the two competing designs will likely share more than a few things in common, so let’s take a closer look.


Click to enlarge - the larger chip is the ARM processor, and the small one alongside it is the 1GB of DRAM


Cracking open the drive’s gorgeous silver casing reveals ten pairs of double stacked Samsung K9MDGZ8U5M 8GB MLC flash memory chips, with another six pairs fitted on the other side to bring the total up to 256GB of storage (238.47GB when formatted). That’s certainly a fair amount of storage for a consumer SSD (we’re not counting PCI-E SSDs as consumer due to their limited availability and bank account demolishing price tags), and is certainly enough for a Windows install and a good few games.


It’s what’s included alongside the standard MLC NAND flash chips that’s interesting though, with Samsung using a 128MB 166MHz DRAM chip as a cache for the drive, with full support for NCQ (native command queuing), although only when the drive is used in AHCI mode. This memory is more commonly used in mobile devices such as sat-navs or mobile phones, and is twice as much as the 64MB of SDRAM used in the OCZ Vertex. Whether this has any effect on drive performance is something we'll be watching for in our testing.


Accompanying the 128MB cache is an S3C29RBB01 ARM processor, promising read speeds of up to 220MB/s and write speeds of up to 200MB/s. A similar processor used in the Vertex not only eliminated drive stutter but produced some astonishingly fast results and we’re expecting the same from the Corsair, especially as it has the added bonus of the 128MB DRAM cache.


What’s perhaps the most surprising thing about the Corsair P256 is while it’s obviously cutting edge hardware, it’s not extortionately expensive. £530 for a 256GB drive works out to £2.22/GB, a fair bit cheaper than the OCZ Vertex which costs £2.50/GB for the 120GB model and £2.60/GB for the 256GB – a saving of twelve and seventeen percent respectively.


So it has the tools, but does the Corsair P256 have the talent? We fired up the bit-tech storage benchmark machine and found out.

This is absolutely natural and nearly every single person alive has dark skin under their arms, private parts and sometimes other areas. But you need not fear because there are plenty of ways you can lighten the dark areas of the skin if they particularly disturb you or your partner.


The thing is that the fashion and porn industry in particularly have set an image that every man and woman should have light skin in the private areas, hence many men and women in real life think that they are abnormal. This also leads to confidence issues in women who tend to get embarrassed even in front of their intimate partners.


If this disturbs you a lot and you are someone who can’t go through expensive treatments to lighten skin on the intimate zones of your body, there are alternate solutions in form of intimate zone lightener products. But due to the popular demand, there are over a hundred different companies that are producing these products and not everyone one of them has the right product that works.


If you are looking for a quick solution that is guaranteed to work, try the Seductiva Intimate Zone Lightener. This product is distributed under the banner of SkinPro, America’s favorite and number one skin care company. They also make this product. The product has been design and developed for women and men who want to lighten their skin across the body wherever the skin appears dark.


One of the best things about this particular intimate zone lightener is that it can be used anywhere on the body unlike other products that particularly target only the intimate zones that are near your private parts. With Seductiva’s number one secret formula, dark skin around these areas will soon be history.


Seductiva intimate zone lightener is made with some of the finest ingredients accessible to mankind. These ingredients are obtained from rare species of plants and other organic matter that enables the product to be so successful. Seductiva has created a very powerful formula by spending years in research and development alone to

New Trier Superintendent Linda Yonke and math teacher Paul Sally (Linda’s successor) gave a very informative and impressive tour of some of the new construction at New Trier high school. It is finishing Phase I and is about 40% completed. The rest is supposed to be done by sometime this Fall—a deadline that is somewhat dubious! We saw the “Student Commons” (formerly called the cafeteria) where there is a wide variety of food (including coffee) for purchase and seating areas conducive to student conversations. The area will accommodate about 1100 students (total student population is about 3000); there is a “gathering” stairs which is part stairs and part tiers of platforms where students can sit and have their lunch. We went up to the new “Library Commons” which is larger than the old library and has a variety of seating areas for students to study and converse. Located there is a duplicate of the 1912 fireplace that was in the old building. From there we saw the skylight area with its 5 story atrium. The classrooms are bigger and more varied with respect to types of tables and chairs used. There are both regular tables and “tall” tables used in the classrooms with some having both styles of tables. There is carpeting in most classrooms rather than wood or tile floors—even though carpeting is tougher to keep clean, its durability is much greater than before, it keeps the room more quiet, and the furniture does not move around as much as on solid floors. The technology in the classrooms is very advanced with the large “white boards” being able to show material from the instructor’s computer as well as the students’ own I- Pads. All students have their own I-Pads with the school subsidizing the cost of same. The classrooms have more windows, more light, better acoustics and most classrooms have a small meeting room attached. The students and teachers were all given the chance to give input on the makeup of these classrooms over the last year or so. Although the Gaffney auditorium was not replaced it will now be air conditioned. The gym will be about the only area not air conditioned in the new building. The part of the north wall of the old building with the art deco has been preserved within a glass wall and has a patio on its top, which is now the teachers’ lounge. There is a “green roof” on the West side of the new building’s top floor with many plantings already in place. The consensus of those touring was that the comparison between the old building and the new space is unbelievable; that many people (including the professionals, workers, teachers and students) did a great job in creating a fantastic learning center for our high school students; and that the tour made most of us want to “go back to school”.

This week’s meeting will be held at New Trier High School located at 385 Winnetka Avenue. We will meet at our regular time. Since the school is on spring break there are no parking restrictions on the north side of Winnetka Avenue. Parking is also available on Essex Road and the adjacent parking lot. Enter through the main entrance and follow the signs to the new student cafeteria. The program will consist of a few words from retiring superintendent Linda Yonke followed by a tour of the new facilities.


There were 37 persons in attendance at this week’s meeting. Representing the village was Alan Berkowsky, Winnetka’s Fire Chief, Terry Dason representing the Chamber of Commerce and Jess Rutstein was filling in for Allie Sarwark of the Winnetka Youth Organization.


David Birkenstein introduced the day’s speaker, Mahja Sulemanjee Bortocek who is the Director of Community Outreach at the Greenhouse Group. He spoke about the recently legalized use of marijuana for medical purposes. Greenhouse operates three medical cannabis dispensaries in the greater metropolitan area of Chicago.


Medical research has confirmed the benefits of cannabis in the treatment of pain. Also research is being conducted on the curative effects of cannabis. Greenhouse’s mission is to help its customers get more out of life. Most parts of the cannabis plant can be used; the dried leaves, the flowers, the stems and the seeds. Legal cannabis is tested for potency, contaminants and pesticides. We were told it is easy to track the cannabis if an issue arises or a particular problem occurs in a given batch as records are kept on the specific type of cannabis each patient receives.


There are 85 active ingredients (cannabinoids) in cannabis that have an affect on the human body. Cannabis can be administered in a number of different ways: smoke or vapor, tincture or sublingual, oils (usual method for cancer patients), edibles, topical (generally used for arthritis), transdermal and via a suppository. Dosage can be controlled in dispensing cannabis. When smoking cannabis one can feel the effects within 30 to 50 seconds and it can last for 2 hours. Cancer patients using cannabis oils experience the effects in 1 – 2 hours and they last for 6 – 8 hours.


Mahja said that a person could not overdose on legal cannabis. Patients are requested to keep a log of the use of cannabis and its effects. This information is used for additional research. Persons interested in cannabis for medical use must be residents of Illinois with a qualifying medical condition. One also needs a signed physicians certificate and they will be fingerprinted.


State requirements include all purchases must be paid in cash and there is only one bank (in Springfield) where the money must be deposited by the cannabis dispensary.


There were 28 members present and two guests—Marc Hornstein representing the Winnetka Police Department; and Jessica Rutstein from the WYO.


Patti announced again the ABC’s of Rotary meeting on January 3, 2017—members are encouraged to attend and there is still room available for reservations. She also reminded the group that Kids Against Hunger is having its event on March 11 and is still looking for sponsors. Those interested should go on its website for further information.


SPEAKER EILEEN CONSIDINE BOGGINS: David Birkenstein introduced Ms. Boggins who is the Partner Relations Manager at Journey Care. She explained that this provider started many years ago as Hospice of North Shore. Eight years ago it reorganized into Midwest Palliative in Glenview and 18 months ago was merged into Journey Care along with the Horizons organization. The new organization serves about 1000 patients in 11 counties in the Chicagoland area. Information regarding its palliative, supportive and end-of-life care is available on its website journeycare.org. Hospice is just one part of palliative care which also includes grief support and pediatric services for people of all ages. Eileen gave examples of what to say to friends and family members who are experiencing illness and trauma. Rather than saying to a grieving person “let me know if there is something I can do”, be more proactive in dropping off food or performing functions for the person in need. Handwritten notes of concern are far better than emails. Eileen provided pamphlets as to appropriate things to say to persons grieving. Copies are available on the Journeycare.org website or you can request a copy from keithreed9@yahoo.com. Journey Care has a summer camp program for children from K to 12 grades who are in need of grievance counseling.


Eileen said that hospice care is covered by Medicare if two physicians prescribe it and the person has a life expectancy of less than 6 months. The average length of stay for a hospice patient is 13 days. Life limiting illnesses where the person is still seeking curative treatment and is expected to live longer than 6 months are covered by most health insurance policies if ordered by a physician.

1256007  Are you looking forward to being the potential owner? Didn't think so.


Remember during the Great Housing Bubble when any time someone got into any kind of trouble the answer was just refinance. Needed to get some more cash- just refi cash out. ARM rates going up soon - just refinance. Mortgage brokers told there clients the rates were great and they could just come back and refinance in a few years when things went up. Now that many mortgage companies are out of business and refinancing is getting harder than ever with stricter and stricter requirements. It is interesting to read this article titled Is a refinancing boom coming? from the Sarasota Herald Tribune. Lets take a look -


A dramatic drop in mortgage rates has motivated some homeowners to wonder if they should refinance. A better question might be: Are they able to refinance?


Back when house prices were zooming upward, it was easy to refinance a mortgage. Lending standards were loose: You could borrow 100 percent of the home's value, you didn't have to document your income, and no one cared if you had a few late credit card payments in your recent credit history.


Lending requirements are a lot more strict now than they were during the housing boom. In many areas, house values have fallen. The combination of these two factors means a lot of homeowners will have to sit on the sidelines for this would-be refi opportunity. Over and over, mortgage bankers and brokers say that the lower rates are good news "provided you have the ability to qualify."


In you live in South Florida, Southern California, Phoenix, Las Vegas or another market where the bubble popped violently, you might not be able to refinance even if you made a 20 percent down payment two or three years ago. Prices have fallen so far in those markets that many homeowners owe more than their houses are worth. Those people can't refinance unless they have enough cash to make up the difference between the loan balance and the home's value.


Even if the house is worth more than the mortgage balance, a refinance might not save any money if the new loan would require mortgage insurance. Generally, mortgage insurance is required on home loans for more than 80 percent of a house's value.


As for a refinance boom coming - the only way we can see that happening is that part of the huge socialization bailout of Wall Street settlement would be to allow those with ARMs and Option ARMs to refinance into 30-year fixed without penalties and at affordable real-time market prices. That would require huge write-downs from the 2005 and 2006 housing price highs. That would wipe out all prepayment penalties.


In too many areas people most likely wanting a refi are already in too much financial trouble to qualify.


People are always pushing advice on how to handle the current credit crisis. The tricky part is figuring out what is really in the consumers best interest. There are always people looking to make money of the backs of others - in good times and in bad. So our advice is to take all economic advice with caution. Do your homework on who is giving the advice and in whose best interest the advice really is.


This is evident in an article titled Stay calm in face of the crises from the Washington Post and posted on Recordnet. Lets take a look -


Given the current turmoil, this is a prime time for scams, bogus business opportunities and questionable advice.


The organization advises people to max out their home equity line of credit before lenders cut them off. Nicholas advised that consumers borrow the money and put it in an FDIC-insured account.


A loan isn't a good safety net. Instead of borrowing and paying interest on money you don't need, save more while you have the resources.


The answer becomes clear when you consider that CMPS is also a membership group for mortgage professionals who have a financial interest in getting you to take out a mortgage.


In this economy, you'll hear a lot of advice about what you should do to preserve or produce money. Just consider the source and motives of the people handing out this wisdom before you make any financial move.


When you find yourself in a hole - don't keep digging! The CMPS advice is just dig faster and faster.


According to a poll printed in the USA Today in an article titled Anxiety rises as the era of easy credit comes to an abrupt end. The second poll question shows that people feel things are bad now but should be better in a year. Lets take a look at the article -


Nearly one-quarter of adults — 23% — believe the U.S. economy is in a depression, according to a USA TODAY/Gallup Poll taken Monday and Tuesday. That's nearly double the 12% who said so in February.


People haven't lost hope. Nearly half — 47% — say they expect the U.S. economy to be growing a year from now. That's roughly unchanged from the 44% who expressed the same view in the earlier poll.


Consumers are relying on credit cards more than ever, especially as it gets harder to land home equity loans. Revolving debt — much of it on credit cards — hit a record $969.9 billion in July. People are starting to use their cards for necessities such as groceries and gas, credit counselors say.


Mortgage rates fell after the bailout of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, but now they're inching up. HSH Associates says the average rate on a 30-year, fixed-rate mortgage was 6.14% on Wednesday, up from 6.02% last week.


But banks are making it hard for many borrowers to take advantage of the low rates by tightening lending standards. The bar likely will be raised much higher now that Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae have been taken over by the government.


While it is good people are optimistic things still have a ways to go. We still have to enter the second half of the mortgage meltdown - the Option ARMs. That means more falling home prices, more foreclosures and more financial problems. Our optimistic projections are that maybe by 2010 or 2011 we should be see some recovery and home price stabilization.


A big slump in the housing starts was released today. On top of all the other bad economic news housing starts are at a 17-1/2 year low. The USA Today article titled August housing starts lowest since 1991; trade gap widens discusses the bad news. Let's take a look -


The Commerce Department said Wednesday that starts on new homes fell 6.2% from July, to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 895,000, lowest since 1991 and well below the 950,000 rate that economists surveyed by Reuters had anticipated.


The August rate of starts on single-family homes was down 1.9% to 630,000, which also was the softest rate since the start of 1991.


With home foreclosures soaring and prices falling, builders are clearly bracing for a protracted downturn. New applications for building permits declined 8.9% in August to an annual rate of 854,000.


It was the weakest rate for permits since February 1991 and was far below forecasts for a 930,000-unit rate. The rate of permit applications last month was 36% weaker than in August 2007.


Housing starts down. Less employment. More foreclosures. Companies that made it through the Great Depression can not make it past the Great Housing Bubble. Wow!


Lose your home to foreclosure and you are irresponsible. Maybe the government can throw you a bone - a loan workout or a 90 day foreclosure reprieve but that's it! Run a large company into the ground and walk away with a $47 million package. Funny how corporate lawyers can find ways to get out of everything it seems - except nullify these over generous severance packages. It is amazing! Almost as amazing as the government getting into the insurance business. But that is what we see today with AIG. Here is snippet from the Star Ledger article titled Government steps in to rescue AIG -


Another day, another bailout. The U.S. government stepped in Tuesday to rescue American International Group, one of the world's largest insurers, with an $85 billion injection of taxpayer money.


Schumer is probably correct that the alternatives are worse. But the government can only prop up so many businesses. The first ones to falter will be the ones that survive. As the list grows longer there will be less that can be done.


Additionally, maybe since the government is taking over all these business the executives should no longer be showered with eight-digit severance packages. They are basically government entities - the executives should get government level salaries. The President of the US makes $400,000 - that should be the limit for all government supported companies. There are no more risks - why should there be rewards!


There will always be buyers wondering if now is the time to jump in. The interest rates are still low and house prices have fallen pretty dramatically already. The pool of real buyers is a lot smaller since a down payment and good credit are now requirements. People have to juggle the unknowns of how much more the housing market will still fall against when interest rates will go up. This uncertainty is explored in this Bloomberg article titled Mortgage Seekers Find Rates Are Down, Credit Standards Tighter. Lets take a look -


Existing home prices have fallen 7.7 percent since their July 2006 high and rates dropped below 6 percent last week for the first time in more than three months. The obstacle for people ready to buy is finding a willing lender, said Suzanne Bach, senior vice president of New York-based Guardhill Financial Corp., and an 18-year home lending veteran.


About 75 percent of U.S. banks tightened standards on mortgage lending to the most credit-worthy borrowers in the three months ended in July, according to the Federal Reserve's quarterly Senior Loan Officer Survey released Aug. 11.

1256008  this place that I’ve found so comfortable since November. I like where I live, being alone; I even like all the free time I have to do whatever I want without having to check with someone else. There might be real prospects. I continue to overlook them. I continue to fall back on a dream.


So much has changed since my last blog post. It’s far too much for me to go into, but let me just say I’ve become entangled in an outward spiraling protest surrounding a protest in the dance building. I’m not going to comment on it anymore, or post a link to it on this blog. I’m just commenting on how it’s affected me and my life in the past weeks.


I looked back at my old post. The one about time, about the order of things, about love. I sounded so hopeful, so ready. I’m just not sure where I fit in with it all. When is it ok to fall down and not get back up? I’m just tired of always wanting what I’m not allowed to have. It gets old after a while. Very old. I just don’t want to want anymore.


I’m almost done with school. I suppose I need to find a real job. I wouldn’t mind the security if I could find one. I wouldn’t mind Starbucks, actually, but I’m not sure if even they’re hiring. It’s not the best time to be thrown into the job market. I think I’ll just take a vacation and go to France, marry a dignitary, and finally achieve my status as global citizen.


I seriously don’t have anything else to say right now. I need Middlebrook brunch with Jeff. It’ll be majeriff.


1. Do not check luggage. This tip is first for a reason. Do not check a bag, because you may not get it back. Just ask my friend. Cuba is still a communist country, and the government can do whatever it wants with your luggage, including everything in it. If you must check a bag, use an airport service such as Secure Wrap that wraps your luggage in plastic film.


2. Hire a guide. Our guide, Ruben, put together a sample itinerary before we left for Cuba, and his services were inexpensive. Plus, he was an outgoing guy who spoke English very well and knew every inch of the city. His choice of authentic restaurants, lodging, what classic cars to hire, local attractions and history of Cuba made our first trip to Havana, well, perfect. He was also a great translator (and negotiator) for us.


3. Stay in a casa. A casa, or someone’s home with rooms converted into hotel rooms, is the best way to experience Cuba, especially in Old Havana. Most casa rooms have private bathrooms and excellent accommodations. Our casa (Hostal Acosta Gonzalez )served fresh fruit, juice and coffee every morning for breakfast. Traditional hotels can be expensive and away from the city’s character and attractions, so ask your guide to stay at a casa.


4. Bring cash. U.S. credit and ATM cards will not work. You have to exchange your currency into either Cuban Convertible Pesos (CUC) or Cuban Pesos (CUP), and you can only do that in Cuba. Most items for purchase are listed in CUCs, and they are 1:1 in value to U.S. dollars. Exchange places do charge a hefty commission, however; around 10 percent. The good news is your money will go a long way in Cuba. You can also wear a money belt to stash your cash, and most casas and hotel rooms have a safe. And is Havana a safe city? Absolutely.


5. Buy a WiFi card. If you want to surf the internet while in Havana, buy a WiFi (pronounced Wee-Fee) card. The cards are usually around $2-$3 for an hour and can be purchased near local WiFi spots. If you do use a WiFi card, remember to log out after you’re finished or your paid time will expire. My recommendation is to simply unplug and enjoy your vacation, and you can register with the U.S. Embassy in case of emergencies.


6. Have a stash of coins for the bathroom. Some public bathrooms have attendants outside who require a price for admission, especially for women. I’m not kidding, and forget about trying to negotiate. If you want to use the bathroom, and would like some paper, drop a CUP coin or two in the basket.


7. Buy a Cuban cigar. Tour a cigar factory and watch how this famous export is rolled. Just don’t purchase them in the factory’s gift shop. There are plenty of locals who will sell you a box (around $50, rather than $250), and be sure to ask your guide about the Cuban marriage: a Cuban cigar, Cuban coffee and aged Cuban rum, tasted together in one sitting.


8. Pay attention. Havana has more than two million residents, and if you don’t pay attention while walking around, they may run over you. The city is constantly abuzz with classic cars, taxis, bicycles and walkers. Then factor in the numerous bumps and holes in the streets and you’re likely to turn an ankle if you’re not careful. But hey, since you’re not looking down at your cell phone all day, you should be okay.


9. Pay it forward. Residents of Havana, according to our guide, earn about $20-$30 a month. So pay it forward and bring items such as clothes, shoes, and shampoo and conditioner samples to donate (collect them from U.S. hotels). I packed for Cuba with the intention of leaving behind most of what I brought. The owners of our casa were very appreciative of the gesture, and it was the least we could do for their hospitality.

By and large, your home or renter's insurance will help you if you're the victim of a Christmastime crime.


Gifts or other holiday goodies stolen from your residence generally would be covered by your home or renter's insurance. Holiday purchases swiped from your car would not be covered by your auto insurance but instead by your home or renter's insurance, as they're considered personal property and aren't permanent parts of your car.


Remember that if you a file an insurance claim for gifts taken from your home or car, you'd have to first pay your deductible. And remember that the most common deductible is $1,000, so you would have to have stored presents with significant value before you’d even want to turn in a claim.


This is become more common as thieves target homes following dates when they know there has been heavy internet shop (i.e., Cyber Monday). If gifts sent via the U.S. Postal Service, FedEx, UPS or other shippers are stolen after being left at a home, your home or renter's insurance can help pay for the loss -- minus any deductible.


Of course, taking out insurance (from the shipper) for the full amount of the items you’re sending during the holidays is something to consider.


Having guests and visitor during the holiday sometimes can result in a missing ring, bracelet or other jewelry.. The loss would be covered by your home or renter's insurance -- depending on how much the stolen goods are worth. You'd still be on the hook for the deductible.


If you have a high-value piece of jewelry, an inland marine policy or separate jewelry policy may be a better option to insure it than your standard home insurance policy.


Under typical home insurance coverage, a $9,000 ring might be covered only for its replacement value, or the amount it would cost to buy a new one at current market prices. This means you might get only $6,000 for a ring based on its current market value, even though you think it's worth $9,000. However if your agent didn’t specifically insure that ring for $9,000, you would only be eligible for $1,500.<|endoftext|>buy prednisone without prescription - can you buy prednisone over the counter in canada where to buy prednisone prednisone 50 mg<|endoftext|>letterhead template ppt new 47 new business card letterhead envelope template stationery design project we are looking for a full revision of our existing stationary to include within this project let.<|endoftext|>We are an app development company that turns your business ideas into reality.

CINCINNATI -- If you ever find yourself looking for something deeply cinematic or intensely moody, Fotocrime has just what you need. If there were a universal soundtrack to represent film noir, Fotocrime would be it. If you like your music on the dark side, but maintaining a high level of mastery when it comes to song writing and style, Fotocrime is just the ticket.


Fresh off two EP’s last year, "Always Hell" and "Always Night," both of which were well received, post-punk trio Fotocrime is now touring with brand new music in the form of a new album, called "Principle of Pain." Frontman R/Pattern (aka Ryan Patterson) joins with Shelley Anderson and Nick Thieneman, "Principle of Pain" unites a uniquely synth-meets-metal vibe with deeply personal lyrics for a sound all its own. The members of Fotocrime have established themselves as big players in the post-punk world, and were called "darkwave heaven" by Revolver Magazine.


This week, you can catch Fotocrime alongside fellow punk rockers Mardou and Ball of Light at Northside Yacht Club. The show starts at 9 p.m. on May 24. Get all the details here, and be sure to tune in to WCPO Lounge Acts for their live set and interview in the lounge.<|endoftext|>Get info on small business minority loans bad credit negative working capital loan | Get info on working capital loan period working capital finance definition

Keto cookies are part of the Ketogenic diet that is used by many people in an attempt to curb their own sweet tooth. When you eat low-carb foods and enter ketosis, your body burns up fat to generate fuel rather than glucose. Find out some of the best keto cookie recipes that you can try.


You need eggs, pecans, Sukrin Gold, baking soda and butter as the ingredients for this recipe. You have to toss some pecans into a food processor or blender, and chop the same into small pieces. This makes the base of such cookies. These are very easy to prepare, and can be made even with eyes closed as there are just 5 ingredients that you need. This is a simple recipe to prepare


1256010 It looks like the earth is continuing to accumulate energy but it looks like it is being rearranged and hidden from view”. On such incisive and evidence based observations we appear to be willing to ruin our economy and commit our children to paying 2-3 times the true cost of energy for the foreseeable future. The reality is that the actual emissions from the UK are so small that even if CO2 does have the impact claimed then compared to China or the US, reducing them will make not a jot of difference.


The real issue is that fossil fuels are finite, so we shouldn’t waste them, but the scam of de-carbonising is just an excuse for companies and organisations to extract huge sums of money from consumers by increasing their bills, lobbying for subsidies and claiming grants. Heavy industry cannot cope with the EU proiice of energy and so just migrates meaning that there is no net reduction in CO2, but the green lobby can feel better because it’s no longer in their back yard. Although I’m not sure how shipping jobs abroad helps the country climb out of the terrible financial mess left from the last decade. Just look at the German solar industry – quickly dying due to the high cost of energy in Germany and being undercut by the Chinese.


Fracking offers significantly less visual pollution than wind turbines and once extraction is complete the wellhead equipment can be easily removed, unlike the thousands of tons of concrete bases left behind when a subsidy farm has to be dismantled.


This is a very mis-leading statement which has been repeatedly pushed by the mainstream media – which especially in relation to this matter seems to be functioning quite blatently as the gas industy / government’s propaganda machine (those two organisations being quite hard to differentiate from each other these days).


Just a minimal amount of research will reveal to you that fracking in its simplist form came into being in the late 1940’s , and that is the basis of the governments statement ….


However , all the aspects of the High Volume Hydraulic Fracturing which is currently proposed for our country that are causing grave concern , are actually relatively recent developments.


Specifically I refer to horizontal drilling , the use an untold number of toxic chemicals , the increase of pressures to 28000 psi , and the very recent advent of ‘super fracking’


None of then have ever before been inflicted on our land , apart from the one exception of the Preece Hall site near Blackpool. That was experimentally fracked by caudrilla two years ago . Results – complete calamity and dangerous calamity at that – google ‘Fracking – the truth’ , a short documentary made by local residents , if you have the time and inclination for more details .


One well known fracking hotspot is the State of Pennsylvania in the USA , where a so called ‘fracking boom’ was unleashed on an unsuspecting public 5 years ago . It was a public that had mainly taken the government/gas industry propaganda at face value . The outcome? Again , just a little research will reveal to you that there is now a moratorium on any new fracking activity , as it has all started to become a living nightmare to many people there . Googling ‘pennsylvania list of the harmed’ will make that one real for you , again , if you have the time and the inclination to become more informed


Why would that be if it as safe as we are being led to believe? Do you think when promised large quantities of supposedly cheap gas these people would ban the practise with no reason ?


… it is even worse than the kind of statements that caused the calamitous first frackers of the UK Caudrilla to be censored by the Advertising Standards Authority in 2011 (who deemed there were 6 grossly misleading statements in a pamphlet delivered to local residents)…


From where I am looking it looks like a whole new level on from there – it actually looks like a blatant out and out lie .


Dale, whilst I detest the way this government seems to have such a contradictory attitude towards fracking and onshore wind, can we transition to a decarbonized electricity system without natural gas from fracking?


I understand the point about locked in high carbon assets; however there is no realistic possibility of sourcing the majority of our supply from biogas any time soon so the central issue as I see it, is that would we rather the majority of our gas comes from abroad, from potentially politically dubious areas of the world, or from sources under our control? Whether fracked gas will drop the wholesale price is neither here nor there to some extent.


A central tenet of Ecotricity is to improve our energy independence, surely using at least some fracked gas to displace gas that would otherwise be sourced from abroad is in-keeping with this philosophy? Not withstanding the need to use it as a transitioning fuel to a zero-carbon future.


The 2008 Climate Change act which I believe Gorge Osborne wants to repeal sets a legally binding target of an 80% reduction in green houses gases compared to the UK 1990 baseline by 2050. A reduction in green house gases of 34% by 2020 was added in 2009.


In December 2010, the Climate Change Committee recommended a 4th Carbon Budget to cover the period from 2023-2027. They recommended that the Government aims to cut emissions by at least 60% by 2030 to ensure that the UK is on track to meet the 2050 target. On the 17th of May 2011 the Government changed the target to a 50% in GHG emissions cut from 1990 baseline by 2025.


The only way I think the UK could realistically meet the targets with the government hell bent on shale gas extraction is if most domestic properties disconnect from the gas grid entirely by replacing the gas boiler with a 280-300% efficient heat pump, and carbon capture and storage equipment is installed at all coal & gas fired power stations.


Since I think CCS will be too expensive in the short to medium term I think the tax revenue from fracking is a reckless way to try and pay off the monetary deficient & sure fire way or racking up a massive ecological deficit which can’t be paid back.


This is why we should demand the Government / Osborne re-examines including a 2030 power decarbonisation target in the Energy bill.


If the UK aims for the 50-100 grams of CO2 per kWh by 2030 decarb target as recommended by the climate change committee natural gas can only play a backup role in power generation without Carbon Capture and Storage as it’s still too carbon intensive.


Even the humble domestic condensing boiler will have to go to reach 80% GHG reductions of emissions by 2050, unless Biogas can be scaled up to 100% which I doubt. Even then a more efficient use of Biogas would be to power 60% efficient closed cycle gas turbines to generate power to supply 280-300% efficient heat pumps. This is why fracking is such a stupid short term idea and rules out any possibilities of meeting our 2020, 2025 & 2050 targets.


We disconnecting from the gas grid & installed a ground source heat pump in April 2011 and so can you. The Renewable Heat Incentive launches next spring. We should receive a RHI payment of around £2400 a year for 7 years with a ROI of around 5%.


Take charge of your own low carbon future and reduce your direct use of fossil fuels to zero. It is possible today but it’s not cheap. My blog details the heat pump installation, purchase and running costs for the first year.


I’ve just had a look at your bog and at first it looks good but you go on to say that a condensing boiler would have been cheaper. So the only way this makes sense is if gas prices rise more than electricity and of course you need to have access to over £20,000 to install the heat pump & solar PV combination.


Not sure how this helps reduce energy bills for the average person who doesn’t have £20,000 to splash out.


The whole issue is still so uncertain that unless there is a guaranteed saving then personally I couldn’t justify borrowing money I don’t have in order to end up spending more than I needed to!


Maybe we should spend the £50 billion earmarked for HS2 (that will shave 30 minutes off the average commute from the North of England to London) on providing the up-front costs of solar PV, heat pumps and broadband so that people can work from home and reduce their carbon footprint by not traveling unless they absolutely have to? Now that really would have a positive impact on reducing emissions!


When I originally wrote the blog in April / May 2011 I guessed the efficiency of the old boiler but since that time I found a picture of the spec plate. It has an heat input of 20.8 kW with a heat output of 16.12 kW. Thus 16.12 / 20.8. = 77.5% efficient. The underestimation of 12.5 % swings the balance in favour of the heat pump.


Let’s take a best in class condensing boiler achieving around 91% SEBUK efficiency. 91 – 77.5 = 13.5 reduction in consumption. 25200 – 13.5% = 21798. Since gas prices have changed when I wrote the blog I am going to use a simple less accurate method as it doesn’t take account of the daily standing charge. (£762 / 20160) * 21798 = £823.91


£823.91 – £783 = £40.91 in favour of the heat pump. In addition the RHI will pay around £2400 a year for 7 years providing a ROI of about 5%.


I really should update my blog


I shuffled my feet, which smarted from landing on the ground. What did they even know about my wages? I’d never seen any of the money due to me—I always assumed Peter and Greta kept it safe for when I was older. What did I need it for, anyway? When he went to the Market, Peter used his own wages to buy me small toys or the charcoals and chalk I used whenever he or Greta had time to give me lessons. Did Sir Alcander take from my wages any time I did something he didn’t like? I’d only ever seen the man from a distance, but he seemed imposing enough that I could imagine him doing it.


“I heard Mother and Father talking in the parlor. They thought I was in bed, but I was getting those black biscuits from the servants’ rooms.”


Annabelle dropped her toy back on the ground. “You said I could come with you! I wanted biscuits, too!”


“Those were for the house servants,” I said. Greta and I made the thin bilberry biscuits a week ago. It was my idea to smash up the berries to give the dough its dark color.


Siobhan went on as though she hadn’t heard me. “Mother and Father were talking and Mother said, ‘Someday she’s going to find out, and when she does, she’s going to want to know why, Alcander.’” She did a pitch-perfect impression of her mother, cocking her head just like I’d seen Lady Portia do.


“Why you live in the kitchen house when your father is in the main house.” She gasped and clapped a hand over her mouth. Siobhan looked around. Her haughty expression was gone, replaced by guilt. She was not good at burying her thoughts. They were telling the truth.


Siobhan’s moment of humility didn’t last long. “I always thought your father lived in the oven,” she said. “That would explain why your arms are all messed up.”


“You’re lying,” I said. Even if they actually heard Lady Portia say those words, what she said wasn’t possible. Greta and Peter were my parents. My real mother died in childbirth, and my father followed her to the World Apart soon afterwards. That’s what Greta and Peter always said. But the hazel tree brightened behind Siobhan’s head, and my feet felt lighter than before, like they weren’t quite touching the ground. It might have been hope.


“Am not,” Siobhan snapped. “I’m being nice. I just thought you’d want to know that your father threw you away in the kitchen house so he wouldn’t have to see your ugly face every day. See if I ever do anything for you again.”


She turned on her heels and hauled Annabelle back to the main house. I stood there for a moment, letting the colors of my small world return to normal. I couldn’t go back to the kitchen house, not yet, not if what they said was true. Why would Greta and Peter tell me that my father had passed? Was his presence the reason I wasn’t allowed in the main house? He could be there, waiting for me to come find him. Did he know who I was? Did he even want me?


“Nora!” Greta’s voice pierced through the fog of questions swirling around me. “The soup is burning!”


I ran back to the kitchen house and hefted the pot off the fire. I hadn’t put in enough water, and what I did add had boiled away. I poured in two pitchers this time and put the pot back on the hearth, hoping no one would notice the vegetables’ smoky taste. I barely heard Greta’s reprimands as I ran through the list of men who worked in the main house. There were three male servants: Matthew, Sir Alcander’s valet, was married to Sarah, the head maid. They came to work at the Runes when I was eight, so it couldn’t be Matthew. Victor, the footman, was only seventeen. The only one left was Robert, the butler. He began working at the Runes before Greta and Peter, and he was certainly old enough to have a daughter my age. He had only ever been kind to me when he came to deliver messages or get food from the kitchen house.


“She and Alcander are like-minded when it comes to”—he glanced over at me—“the goings-on at the Vale.”


I held Robert’s gaze for as long as I could, scrutinizing his features. He carried himself with a dignified air, stately even. He took pride in his work, which was probably why he’d been employed at the Runes longer than any of the other servants. His hair was wiry and grey. I ran a hand through the scraggily, dark red tangle on my head. I’d never met anyone else with my thick, ratty hair. Greta’s braid, while heavy, was smooth and dark. Annabelle and Siobhan’s curls were always brushed to perfection. Robert’s hair reminded me of trees I had seen in the woods that had been struck by lightning, an image I often associated with myself when I looked in the mirror. I could imagine his hair being the same color as mine once upon a time. His eyes were grey instead of gold like mine, but I could have gotten my eyes from my mother.


Had Robert ever been married? He wasn’t now. Maybe he had a wife who died in childbirth, and he couldn’t bear to have the child near him because she—I—reminded him too much of her. It was all very romantic. I wanted to rush over to him, but I held back. What if I were wrong? I would just embarrass myself.


Robert and Greta’s conversation ended with the determination that Peter would meet the new servants in the woods west of the Runes proper the next day. Robert brushed past me on his way out.


I wanted to follow him back to the main house, but as soon as the door closed behind him, I turned to Greta.


She startled at the abruptness of the question. “Why are you asking this now? Did the girls say something?”


“You know the answer. The couple who worked in the kitchen house before us gave you to Peter and me.”


“They didn’t say who your parents were,” Greta continued. “Only that they’d passed, and you needed someone to take care of you. We always wanted a child, and—” She stopped talking when it became obvious I wasn’t listening. This was a story I knew by heart, but it wasn’t mine anymore.


I went back to my seat by the window, put my apron on, and began to mash up a pile of sprigberries that Greta had put on the table while I was outside. If she and Peter knew anything about my real parents, they would have no reason to hide it from me. They gave me my mother’s knife, after all. Sir Alcander and Lady Portia obviously knew, but I couldn’t ask them. Lady Portia’s visits to the kitchen house were rare and always came with demands. Less salt in the soup or an extra dessert tart for Siobhan and Annabelle. She gusted in and out, never staying for longer than her words and never looking in my direction. Sir Alcander never even set foot near the kitchen house. The only times I’d laid eyes on him had been through a window when I brought something to Peter while he was patching the exterior of the main house. I knew Sir Alcander more by his maps. Peter had one in the kitchen house, and he used it to teach me the geography of Colandaria. Sir Alcander’s intricate compass roses were more familiar to me than his face.


No, I would not get answers from either of them. But I would go to the main house. I had to talk to Robert.


“Good morning, early riser. Any chance you made breakfast while we were sleeping?” Peter said as he climbed the ladder down from the loft and joined me in the kitchen, where I’d been trying to quiet the pounding of my heart since before sunup. He put his arm around me and kissed my forehead. The bristles of his short beard tickled my chin. All fathers should feel like this, I thought.


I had to keep myself from trailing behind him when he brought breakfast to the main house. I would have to wait until everyone was doing their work before I could go inside. I’d seen Greta and Peter go in the back door of the main house as often as I’d seen Robert, Sarah, or one of the other servants come out of it on their way across the field. The servants’ quarters were supposed to be right near the entrance. There had to be something there that would tell me about Robert.


I picked at my breakfast. The nervous flutter in my stomach made me too nauseated to eat. I’d occasionally thought about

Student looking for information about Pa. (letter) Dear residents of Pennsylvania, Check out this story on eveningsun.com: http://evesun.co/2fTKqUs


We are doing state reports this year in our history class. I have chosen to do my report on your state of Pennsylvania. If you should happen to read this in your local newspaper, I would greatly appreciate receiving any information or items regarding your state. You could send pictures, tourist attraction information, trivia about your state or anything that would cause me to be more familiar with your state.


The forum was the third in the Global Trade Forum series, which launched last year. The first seminar focused on banking and the second on trade with Brazil. Opportunities in Africa will be the subject of a fourth global trade forum, to be held Nov. 18.


The forums are sponsored by Johns Hopkins University, the U.S. Department of Commerce, the Maryland Department of Business and Economic Development, the Montgomery County Department of Economic Development, the U.S. Small Business Administration – Washington Metropolitan Area District Office and the Montgomery County Chamber of Commerce.


The Mexico panel was moderated by Roberto Trujillo, president and chief executive of TruBios, a company located on Johns Hopkins Montgomery County Campus.


Mexico is the third-largest goods trading partner with the United States and the second-largest economy in Latin America, said Gigi Godwin, president and chief executive of the Montgomery County Chamber. That robust economy makes Mexico an ideal partner for U.S. trade, Godwin said.


The keynote speaker was Mexican Ambassador Eduardo Medina-Mora, who talked about the benefits of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) on commerce between the United States and Mexico. Mexico’s Gross Domestic Product is increasing. Mexico, Medina-Mora said, is the second-largest market for U.S. exports, and millions of U.S. jobs depend on trade between the two countries.


Improved labor laws, telecommunications regulations, education reform, tax reform and energy reform are paving the way for a better Mexican economy, Medina-Mora said.


“We can now see the future with tremendous optimism,” Medina-Mora said. “Mexico is a fantastic opportunity.”


Federico Alberto Arguelles Tello, chief commissioner for the analytical control and coverage extension of COFEPRIS, talked about the pharmaceutical policies in Mexico. COFEPRIS is the Federal Commission for the Protection Against Sanitary Risk. Mexico pharmaceutical policy, he said, is committed to working to introduce more generic drugs into the market.


Colleen Fisher, Mexico desk officer with the U.S. Department of Commerce, spoke about the dynamic market in Mexico, including the country’s strong Gross Domestic Product, strong manufacturing base and thriving democracy. Health IT and biotech companies in particular, she said, should look at trade with Mexico.


Catherine Robinson of biotech giant Amgen agreed Mexico is an important market, which Amgen entered in 2009. The biopharmaceutical market is growing there, she said, and companies should take advantage of opportunities.


Other speakers included Gerardo Patino, commercial counselor of ProMexico, and Trevor Gunn, managing director of international relations at Medtronic.


At the conclusion of the forum, attendees met one-on-one with groups such as U.S. Small Business Administration, ProMexico, the Export-Import Bank of the United States, the Maryland Department of Business and Economic Development, and others.
