Martin Clunes: Horse Power
This 2-part documentary follows the British actor (Doc Martin, Reggie Perrin) as he travels the world to unravel the true story of how man and horse first got together, what the horse has done for humans through the ages, and what the horse still means to us today. From Mongolia to the deserts of Arabia, from the Mustangs of Nevada to the Windsor Greys of Buckingham Palace, Clunes unlocks the secrets of a partnership which shaped the world.

The Servant and the Symbol (Episode #102H)
KQED Plus: Sun, May 19, 2013 -- 11:00 PM
Not so very long ago, everyone knew how to ride a horse. Today, the biggest link most of us still have with horses is the races. Martin's company's horse, Buffalo Stampede, is running at Fontwell racecourse in Sussex for the first time in a year since a leg injury. The horse tires and comes in last, but Martin is just glad to see it cross the finishing line without injury.
The everyday traffic of horses may have vanished from London's streets. But the British monarchy still uses horses - and plenty of them - to keep tradition alive. Clunes has special access to a rehearsal of the State Opening of Parliament and rides in one of the carriages from the Royal Mews, via the Palace, into the heart of Parliament.
To find out how the horse came to be associated with wealth and power, Martin heads for Asti in northern Italy. The Palio horse race dates right back to the 1200s when the local aristocracy raced their horses against each other as a way to measure up their status and superiority. Martin soaks up the thrills and dangers of the event, where the crowd treats the jockeys like football stars - or the modern equivalent of valiant knights.
To understand why medieval knights commanded such honor and respect, Martin travels to Warwick Castle to see what it was like to ride into battle, dressed in a suit of armour. He also meets the modern equivalent of the armored knight, the Greater Manchester Police mounted unit and learns how horses are trained to quell potential violence in rowdy crowds.
Clunes then heads for the USA to learn that the old Wild West is still alive and kicking, and the horse is still very much a part of American life. In Las Vegas, rodeo horses are treated like kings; the more they buck the better the crowds love them. Then it's on to Arizona to learn the traditional ways of the cowboy, still in use today. Surprisingly, the horse was extinct in America until it was reintroduced by Christopher Columbus. Yet it wasn't long after that before Native American Indians became master horsemen. Martin joins the Sioux tribe in South Dakota, for their annual "horse nation" commemorative ride across the frozen prairie.
Martin's final journey is to one of the remotest parts of Central Asia to meet some of the world's greatest horse people. He experiences life amongst the nomadic Kazakh tribes people, virtually unchanged since they first harnessed the power of the horse 6000 years ago. Nowhere on earth is there a culture still so utterly reliant on the horse.

The Animal (Episode #101H)
KQED Plus: Sun, May 12, 2013 -- 11:00 PM
At home on his farm in Dorset, Martin rides his own horse Chester and explains how he was drawn into the equine world by his wife and daughter. To find out what makes horses tick Martin flies to Dubai, to the grand opening of the ?1.7 billion Meydan racecourse. There he meets champion jockey Frankie Dettori and top trainer Luca Cumani, for a fascinating insight into horse psychology. He then heads further east to the heart of Mongolia, where he tracks down the one remaining horse breed that has never been tamed by man: the Przewalski horse, known in Mongolia as the Takhi.
On the walls of the Niaux Cave, hidden high in the Pyrenees Mountains, Martin finds an extraordinary 14,000-year-old record of how our relationship with horses began. He also meets the famous horse whisperer Monty Roberts to learn how to improve his relationship with Chester, and understand how that mysterious bond allowed us to communicate with horses in the first place. On a windswept beach in the south of France, Martin meets the extraordinary trainer, Jean Francois Pignon, who has taken that communication to the ultimate extreme.
At the Weipers Centre for Equine Welfare in Glasgow, Martin attends a delicate operation on a 7-month-old foal with a leg fracture and learns why this powerful, athletic animal is designed the way it is. In the desert sands of the Gulf, Martin meets the Bedouin, who developed one of the world's most ancient horse breeds, the Arabian. Horses can help humans because of their unique communication skills. Martin flies to Arizona to visit a rehab clinic where they are using equine assisted therapy on patients being treated for a range of problems from alcoholism to anorexia. Finally Clunes joins Laura Lee, Nevada resident and lover of the wild American mustang. In a helicopter they fly over the high desert in midwinter, to catch a glimpse of the mustang herds running free in their natural habitat, the way all horses once lived.

I've played the drums professionally for more than 30 years and have my musical experience from great producers, artists, and musicians. One of my biggest interests when working as a drummer has been how to make great drum sounds in studios. When you put in the time and effort to produce a great drum sound the final result can be stunning to the music. I always wanted to combine my playing, teaching and my recording interest so I finally built my own recording studio. http://www.mikaelwikmandrumstudio.com The goal was to be able to do drum recordings for songwriters and producers but with a more affordable budget than hiring a drummer, a studio and the engineer separate.

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife has posted a press release directed at hunters:
With the historic Rim fire in Tuolumne and Mariposa counties still burning, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) is reminding hunters about limited access and road closures in the Stanislaus National Forest.
The still burning wildfire is the third largest ever recorded in California. CDFW implores that all outdoorsmen and outdoorswomen to be good stewards of the state's wildland resources and obey all laws and restrictions regarding uses of valuable public land forests and ranges.
Deer hunters deal with wildfires and their impacts on hunting access nearly every year. Fish and Game Commission (FGC) regulations prohibit CDFW from allowing a hunter to exchange a deer tag after the earliest season (archery or rifle) has opened or if the tag quota for the zone has filled; and prohibits CDFW from issuing a refund to hunters after a season has started.
Archery deer season was underway when the fire started and so exchanges or refunds cannot be issued. CDFW staff will be reviewing our regulations to assess whether in 2014 we can recommend an approach to the FGC that would not inadvertently penalize hunters when such events occur.
CDFW considered recommending an emergency closure of the hunt zone for species conservation. The department chose not to because deer are an adaptable species that evolved with wildfire in the Sierra Nevada, that deer for the most part, had the capability to escape the fire, that the majority of the deer population in the area are female (does) and are not hunted anyhow, and that part of the zone remains unaffected and could be hunted. Typically in the Sierra Nevada, deer populations respond favorably to large wildfires because of the abundant growth of new herbaceous and shrub vegetation that deer rely upon. CDFW is cautiously optimistic about deer response to this fire in the coming years, while recognizing other environmental factors may influence herd productivity.
Many areas of the Stanislaus National Forest will be closed to public access on the opening weekend of zone D6 general deer season which starts on Sept. 21. Closures are in effect to protect firefighters in their suppression efforts as well as the public from hazards that exist in a recently burned area. CDFW is making recommendations to the Stanislaus National Forest on suitable areas to re-open once conditions permit, as well as on evaluations of fire damage and habitat restoration.
The closures will likely impact all types of hunting and other recreational activity for an extended period of time. Hunters should check the Forest Service websites listed below for the latest information before heading out.
Information on closures can also be obtained at the Ranger District Offices during regular business hours, or by calling the Stanislaus National Forest prior to traveling to the forest. In areas that are open, there are campfire restrictions in place and no open fires are allowed outside of the developed campgrounds.
The Power Fire, which was north of Highway 108 and east of Pinecrest also has a closure area. This fire started on Aug. 5 and is reported to have burned 1,070 acres. Although the fire is 100 percent contained, there is a temporary closure in place until the fire is declared out.

Penguin goes hybrid with ClusterWare
Linux meets Windows HPC
Penguin Computing, the makers of workstations and clusters aimed at HPC shops, also peddles various cluster management tools under the Scyld brand. Up until now, the Scyld ClusterWare cluster management tools have been wedded to Red Hat Enterprise Linux and its CentOS clones, but with the latest update to ClusterWare, Penguin Computing is going hybrid. Now, the node provisioning and management tool can spit put Novell's SUSE Linux Enterprise Server onto Linux nodes.
And, says Tom Coull, general manager of software and services at Penguin Computing, there is nothing preventing the new Scyld ClusterWare Hybrid edition from mixing and managing RHEL, CentOS, and SLES releases with any Linux Standards Base-compliant Linux. And - gasp! - because the hybrid extensions are truly agnostic concerning the operating system, there is no reason that it cannot, in theory, be used to spin up images of Microsoft's Windows HPC Server 2008 onto cluster nodes. Or, the current Solaris 10, the future Solaris 11, or Enterprise Linux, from Oracle, for that matter.
The Scyld management tool was created many years ago as a companion to the open source Beowulf clustering environment for Linux that turned that open source operating system from a very good and cheap alternative to a Unix workstation to a very powerful and cheap parallel cluster for running supercomputing applications. While there are now many ways of clustering servers, Beowulf got the Linux snowball rolling to the extent that most parallel supers today run Linux.
And now, Windows HPC server is starting to gain traction, particularly among power workstation users who only know Windows and don't want to learn Linux or Unix as they go parallel to speed up their calculations and simulations. The Scyld ClusterWare package takes the core Scyld cluster management tool and wraps several optimized MPI stacks, Oracle/Sun's open source Grid Engine and the Torque scheduler, a bunch of popular compilers and file systems, and other necessary things for a proper cluster all into one big package. Penguin Computing
Up until now, the only supported operating systems for the ClusterWare stack were Red Hat 4.8 and 5.5 and their CentOS equivalents. Customers were asking to add Fedora instances to their compute nodes, and then still other customers were asking for SUSE Linux Enterprise Server. So Penguin Computing tweaked the Scyld stack so it didn't just think Red Hat and the Scyld Insight console running on the head node could talk to and rein in all of these different OSes as equals on the compute nodes. Novell's SLES is the first one to be certified on the hybrid extensions, but others will follow quickly.
The hybrid extensions to Scyld ClusterWare are available now, and they are bundled in for free into the tool. ClusterWare costs $4,000 for a base cluster with one head node and eight compute nodes. Extra compute nodes cost $450 a pop. ®

The government shutdown and endless political strife in Washington are - surprise surprise! - symptomatic of a larger problem: the failure of the economy to recover more rapidly, especially in areas of the country represented by tea-party-affiliated Republicans. That's the gist of new Washington Post article.
Reporter Jim Tankersley writes that the local economies of 45 House Republicans who have pushed hardest to challenge the White House are performing worse than the national average. Many people and small businesses in these areas, especially in the South, blame President Obama and his policies for their troubles. Read Washington Post article here.
In a related article Tuesday, prominent conservative economist John Taylor makes the intellectual case on the Wall Street Journal's editorial page. He once again blames poor Federal Reserve and regulatory policies for causing the 2007-2009 recession and says the recovery has been stilted by the White House's response on a range of issues.
For their part, Democrats argue that Republican intransigence since Obama took office in 2009 has shackled the economy.
Regardless of who's more to blame, tough economic times clearly contribute to the bitter battles in Washington over tax rates, federal spending and the growing national debt. As such the political tug-of-war is likely to remain constant unless the economy returns to its average post-World War Two growth rate of 3.3%. The U.S. is on track in 2013 to grow less than 3% for the eighth straight year. The last time that happened was during the Great Depression.

Everyone likes to feel special whether you are a child, or an adult, but children above all need to feel special and valued. Little things can be done daily to make your child aware of your love. I agree that it is easier to do more for one child than for several, but a little bit of attention goes a long way.
When my daughter was small I used to tape notes inside her lunch box. Little smiley faces that said, "I love you!" or "I'm so proud of you!" or "Have a great day!," would find a way to make her smile. I took the crust off her peanut butter sandwiches and cut the center of the sandwich out with a heart shaped cookie cutter just for novelty. Buy a special pencil or pen for school and slip it as a surprise in her backpack. It doesn't take a lot of effort or money. It just takes time.
Start a new tradition in your home. Something your child enjoys. Taylor and I almost always had pancakes on Sunday. I never had time during the week to make them, so Sunday became Pancake Day. She always wanted Mickey Mouse pancakes two ears attached to a head. Sometimes we put food coloring in the batter just to jazz it up a bit. Again, it took time, but was well worth a little time spent together.
Make something together. My Dad used to make homemade ice cream when I was a kid and he always let me put the salt in around the freezer. In the spring when he would garden. He dug the holes and let me drop in the seeds. He would find ways to let me help him, which was a big deal to me.
I love to sew. Often times when my daughter was small I would let her pick out a pattern and fabric and I would make her something "special" from it. I made her clothes, quilts, doll clothes, doll blankets, etc. If you are not particularly crafty then bake something, maybe some cookies or a cake and let them help you. When it snows, have a snowball fight, or make a snowman. The one hour you set aside to do these things will forever become a memory in their mind.
When I was around nine, my grandmother asked me what kind of cake she could make me for my birthday. I told her I wanted a heart shaped cake with pink icing! She made it for me and for years I thought she fashioned that cake with her own hands. I didn't know there were heart shaped cake pans out there. I felt like a queen, all because she took the time to make me feel special.
Work your circle. Make a child's day a little better and brighter by going out of your way for them and showing them you care.

Concrete proof that Michael Jackson has another son may not be so concrete after all.
TMZ obtained a copy of the DNA test results that allegedly show Brandon Howard — aka singer B Howard — is the son of the late Michael Jackson. Now the media site is reporting a strong resemblance between the logo for the DNA testing lab and a logo used in "Terminator Salvation."
Yes, the logo is fake, admits billionaire Alki David of FilmOn.com, who helped obtain the test that shows a 99.99999 percent probability that Howard is Jackson's son.
"The logo was made by the DNA agency to make it look pretty. Lab documents are not pretty by nature," David told TMZ, adding that the results were not supposed to be released to the public.
Go ahead — ask. Why do private results need to be made to look pretty?
TMZ also reports that extensive searches for the alleged DNA Lab in Ireland has turned up no trace of the facility.
Which raises the question, how did David end up at this mystery Irish lab?
Have no fear, there's a logical explanation for that one, too. A source close to David told TMZ that a Los Angeles lab was approached first with a dental mold reportedly belonging to Jackson, but this lab couldn't find any DNA on the mold.
Apparently, labs in Ireland are better than labs in Southern California.
TMZ also reports that the L.A. lab looked for DNA on items reportedly belonging to Jackson's brothers Jermaine and Tito. And results from one of the alleged uncles showed no DNA match.
Where's Jerry Springer when you need him?

Henderson County has had some cold mornings this winter. A few days, temperatures have fallen into the teens.
But that hasn't stopped North Henderson High School student David Zepeda from waking up long before most of his other classmates, throwing on layers of clothing and riding to school on his bike.
David's 12-mile journey (six miles each way) every day to and from school is reminiscent of a bygone era.
It wasn't that long ago that the senior was a self-proclaimed couch potato. He wasn't in shape. David, 18, spent his free time playing video games.
"I was one of those kids," he said. "I gave (bike riding) a chance."
Taking that chance has transformed his life. He hopped on a bike when he was 10 years old, and over the past eight years, he has gone from being an occasional cyclist to a racer.
"It took him years to be able to pedal a bike uphill," said his dad, Donnie Kirkwood.
David was rounding into shape by the time his dad approached him about riding his bike to school during his sophomore year. That first trip in the early hours of the morning to North Henderson from his home in Druid Hills wasn't easy.
"The first day, I didn't like it," he said. "I didn't like it at all."
As time passed, however, David got better at it. Now he tries to "beat nature." If rain is in the forecast, he races the clouds to school. If it's freezing cold, he adds clothes and refuses to surrender and ride in a car.
"I have all the gear," David said. "Anything you can think of with cold weather, I have for the bike."
What do his classmates think of his mode of transportation?
"They call me crazy," he said. "They don't understand why I do it."
Some of the faculty, however, admire him for his trips to school. There are no bike racks outside of North Henderson, so teachers have allowed David to park his bike in classrooms. Most days, his bike is parked in the periodical room of the library.
"I think it's awesome that he rides it every day," North Henderson High School media coordinator Jennifer Abel said.
David says the challenge is something that he's become passionate about.
That passion and love of the sport — and to David, it's a sport — is his family's love of biking. His journey into racing bikes could be seen as inevitable, considering who his dad is.
Kirkwood, who manages Sycamore Cycles, is one of the better racers in the area. Kirkwood and his wife, Jennifer, adopted David and his brother, Blas, when they were 10 and 9 respectively.
Kirkwood has been mountain bike racing for the past 18 years. The Kirkwoods didn't push the boys to ride bikes. For Blas, who was more physically ready, biking came naturally, Kirkwood said. It took David a little longer to get the interest.
The Kirkwoods, however, are major participants in the sport.
The family travels every weekend during the summer to racing venues. Somewhere in those trips, the light turned on for David.
"We never pushed them to ride," Kirkwood said. "It's huge (that he started riding). It's opened up his mind or something. I don't understand what happened there."
Now neither of the boys wants to ride in a car, Kirkwood said. If they need something from the store, David is quick to hop on his bike and ride there.
"They call it urban riding," he said. "They like to ride around at night and go to the stores to pick things up."
David's six-mile trip to and from school took some initial planning, Kirkwood said.
"We had to sit down and figure out how they would get to school safely in the morning," he said. "He definitely goes the long way to school. There are safe ways to get to school. You just have to know the back roads."
David knows how to safely navigate his route, Kirkwood said.
The only major road that David crosses is U.S. Highway 64 across from North Henderson High.
Kirkwood looks at cycling as a common mode of transportation, and David's travels bring up some nostalgic memories.
When Kirkwood was a kid, he rode his bike to school, and he still rides three miles to Sycamore Cycles in downtown Hendersonville for work every day.
David's dad has been a big influence on his life, he said.
"He's pretty much taught me everything about bikes," David said.
David is racing in Charlotte at the Charlotte Winter Short Track.
He's competing in the men's division against guys who range from 19 to 24 years old and is finishing in the top five consistently.
Kirkwood loves that his son is into biking, but not because he's following in his dad's footsteps.
It's about the transformation.
"I'm so proud," he said. "I'm proud of him for taking a stand and doing it. There are not many kids that go from couch potato to amateur racer."
That transition is one that David is proud of and wants to build on.
"I didn't know I had it in me to ride my bike to school every day," David said. "
To go uphill knowing you're going down an awesome hill makes it worth it. I'm challenging myself every day to go faster and faster."

The following commentary does not necessarily reflect the views of AgWeb or Farm Journal Media. The opinions expressed below are the author's own.
Here's your chance to share a photo of your favorite tractor.
Written By Larry Gay
It was not a surprise that every new farm tractor on display at the recent Farm Progress Show was powered by a diesel engine. In fact, it has been that way since 1978 when the Nebraska Tractor Test Lab evaluated its last tractor with a gasoline engine, the International 284 utility tractor.
Diesel engines first began to appear in U.S. crawler tractors in the early 1930s. Then 75 years ago, in 1935, International Harvester introduced the McCormick-Deering WD-40 and advertised it as "America's first diesel-powered wheel tractor." The WD-40 was the standard-tread W-40 tractor with the diesel engine from the McCormick-Deering TD-40 TracTracTor crawler. IH advertised it operated on diesel fuel which cost less than gasoline or kerosene and used one-third less fuel than a gasoline engine with the same horsepower. The WD-40 was rated as a 4-plow tractor with 44 belt horsepower and 28 drawbar horsepower. It could be equipped with steel wheels with a variety of lugs or rubber tires. A PTO and lights were optional.
This early diesel engine had four cylinders with a 4.75-inch bore and a 6.50-inch stroke, resulting in a 460-cubic-inch displacement. The engine started with gasoline and then switched to diesel. As a result, the engine had a unique appearance with the left side looking like a diesel engine with an injection pump and four fuel lines. However, the right side of the engine had the appearance of a gasoline engine with a carburetor, magneto, and spark plugs. An auxiliary combustion chamber for the gasoline operation was provided for each cylinder and after the engine was warm, the auxiliary chambers were automatically closed and the engine switched to operating with diesel fuel in the regular combustion chambers.
During the 25 years from 1935 to 1960, diesel engines for farm tractors grew in popularity as farmers recognized the advantages of a diesel engine. During 1940 and 1941, the diesel-powered Oliver 80, Farmall MD, and the McCormick-Deering WD-6 and WD-9 tractors were introduced. Large standard-tread tractors by the 1950s were available with diesel engines and for some models, diesel was the only choice. By the mid-1950s, most tractor manufacturers offered a choice of diesel, gasoline, or LP-gas engines for row-crop tractors. Diesel engines started becoming available for utility tractors by the end of the 1950s.

Saturday Night Genealogy Fun – The Super Bowl of Genealogy
by Sherry Stocking Kline
February 6, 2010
Woo Hoo! The Super Bowl of Genealogy, Randy Seaver of Genea-Musings says! That gives me license to Dream Big!
It's Saturday Night – time for some Genealogy Fun!! It's also Super Bowl Eve…
Many American residents are focused on Sunday's Super Bowl XLIV to decide the championship of the National Football League. After 20 weeks of play, the Indianapolis Colts (16-2) are favored by 5 points over the New Orleans Saints (15-3) in the game to be played in Miami, Florida in an outdoor stadium on real grass, starting at 3:30 p.m. (PST). The pre-game hype, er, programs, starts on Sunday morning on CBS.
So, your mission, if you decide to accept it (cue the Mission Impossible theme), is to:
1) Tell us about your dream game of the Super Bowl of Genealogy?
* Where would it be played?
* What teams would play?
* Who would be the head coaches?
* Who would be the stars of the game?
* Who would win?
* Who are the cheerleaders?
* If you were playing in the game, what would be your dream play?
2) Who do you think will win the NFL Super Bowl Colts-Saints game on Sunday? Your score prediction, please!
3) Post your thoughts on your own blog, on a Facebook comment or Note, or as a comment on this blog post.
1. My Dream Bowl Game of Genealogy!
Since this is a dream game, I can make up my own rules, and have my own players, right?
So here we go…
I hate to name players, teams, and coaches by name in this, my Genealogy Bowl Game, because I might leave out someone important, and someone that I cared about very much.
In MY Dream Game, we'd all be Winners…
And in MY Dream Game, we'd all be winners. (Note I don't feel that way about football, basketball, baseball, etc., I'm definitely into winners and losers in that game.)
So, in my Dream Game we would all be at the Super Bowl of Genealogy. In my Dream Game, it would be held at Salt Lake City, because I'm dying to go there and because we may want to run into the library to locate more facts, figures, and information.
What would make our Super Bowl awesome is that our coaches would be the most knowledgeable Genealogy speakers and authors, many of the names we know, and many that maybe we've never heard of, and they would all be there to share their wisdom and knowledge with each of us. (and unlike real life, we'd all have time to go to each speech/talk/demonstration without having to choose one and miss one!)
And at my Dream Game, each of us would share our knowledge…
And at my Dream Game, each of us would share our knowledge, wisdom and our time helping each other break down the brick walls that haunt each of us.
At my Dream Game when we entered the Bowl, there would be a giant database of interconnected surnames and data, and we would be able to tap into this in minutes, and break down brick wall after brick wall. (Someday, this may be the internet!?)
Each of us gets to Cheerlead the others on to victory…
Each of us gets to be a cheerleader, and cheer when the others 'win' the game, solve the puzzle, break down the brick wall. (Much like we do on Twitter now!)
My Dream Play, right now, would be to break down the brick wall that lets me tell my mom who her great-grandfather was. And I would seriously also like to find out where my Laird and McGinnis family originated. (This is my Dream Play, I can have TWO, right?)
I have to confess to not caring who wins the Super Bowl, nor do I even know who is favored, but I'm going to guess that the Colts will win. Remember, this is just a guess…
Happy Saturday night everyone, and Happy Super Bowl!

text: UFO belongs to an old-school-'70s hard-rock sub-species whose pecking order depends on the number of Guitar Player covers on which a band has appeared. It's funny, when you hear older dudes at the bar talking about Euro-trash guitar-god bands like this (see also Yngwie Malmsteen, Michael Shenker, any band Gary Moore ever played for, or any guitarist that ever played for Ozzy/Whitesnake/Dio), it's like they're talking about sports: "Man, he totally WHALED on that!" Being that I was always more drawn to "axe-men" who were bursting with crazy-ass gimmickry — Michael Shenker's first couple of records with Scorpions, stuff like that — I never really paid much mind to B-listers like Vinny Moore, who's here, having been with UFO since 2004 (it's been a revolving door of guitar gods since 1969). But on this LP, Moore's lead guitar pieces are more meticulously studied than ever, and they fit nicely in the mix, consisting of the nicest board-work I've ever heard on an SPV release, cleaner than hell, super-bassy, real heavy. The songs are cookie-cutter but honest, from the mid-tempo-rawk snoozer "Fight Night" to the Machine Head-reminiscent speed-churn of "Wonderland" to the Dio/Nazareth plod of "Mojo Town." Singer Phil Mogg sounds every bit the 63-year-old he is, like Bon Scott in need of some essential minerals but too busy chasing waitresses to fix himself. A- —Eric W. Saeger

Neighbors and government leaders gathered Monday on Primrose Drive in Mentor-on-the-Lake to witness the first of what will be many blighted home demolitions in the county as part of the Moving Ohio Forward Demolition Grant Program.
The Lake County Land Reutilization Corp., commonly known as the Lake County Land Bank, has worked with the Ohio Attorney General's Office to bring about $1.5 million in allocated funds to the county, said State Rep. John Rogers, D-Mentor-on-the-Lake.
'It's designed to eliminate blight in communities and ultimately strengthen neighborhoods and basically make property values go back up,' said Rogers, also the executive director of the Lake County Land Bank. 'It's going to be a good thing for Lake County and a good thing for the state of Ohio.'
Last year individual communities identified properties that passed the Attorney General's guidelines for qualification in the grant program. In total, the land bank plans to demolish 60 abandoned homes by the end of spring. The first phase will bring down six more homes - three in Wickliffe and one each in Mentor, Madison Township and Painesville Township, Rogers said.
After the structure is removed, the land will be graded and seeded in a process that will take about seven to 10 days, he said.
'Ideally when we're all said and done here, whoever owns this property if they want to develop it, it should be clean and ready to go,' Rogers said.
The Attorney General's Office allocated a total of $75 million across the state for the demolition program. The money came from a multi-state settlement with the country's five largest mortgage servicers due to foreclosure abuse and fraud, said Matt Lampke, mortgage foreclosure counsel for the Attorney General's Office.
He added that removing the blighted properties will not only increase property values, but it will also reduce demand for city services to these abandoned properties and provide a safe environment for families.
'Lake County's currently under contract with Mike DeWine for $650,000 and is coming up with matching funds of its own in the amount of $150,000,' Lampke said. 'We hope it's able to use it's full allocation by May 31st of next year.'
Lake County Commissioner Robert E. Aufuldish said Lake County has the 11th best per capita income out of Ohio's 88 counties.
'It's projects like this that will keep Lake County a strong place for people to want to come and live,' he said. 'The neighbors I am sure are very pleased that this is happening.'
Debbie Nasady is one of those neighbors who has lived directly next door to the now-demolished home for almost 10 years. She said an older man used to live in the home but passed away about four or five years ago.
The man kept up with the house and was always mowing the lawn, but no one claimed the house when he died.
'It's going to be weird, it's going to be much more open. But we won't have to look at the house anymore, it was falling apart,' Nasady said. 'We used to watch raccoons come out of hole on the top, walk down to the front and all the way to the gutter.'
While she will definitely enjoy the house being gone, Nasady added that it is a little bit sad to see the house removed in such a way.
'That house raised a family. Some people have good memories of it,' she said. 'There's boxes of clothing and stuff like that (still in it). It's memories.'

A messy kitchen full of crumbs, spills, smells and stains can create a lack of appetite rather than stimulate one. Here are 10 steps to cleaning your kitchen from top to bottom:
1. Cabinets. Every time someone grabs a handle, fingerprints, food stains and germs document the moment. Most cabinet types can be cleaned with warm water and a soft rag. Don't use an abrasive cleansing powder or you'll scratch the finish.
2. Stovetop. Cooking is a messy business: pasta boils over, sauces get spilled and crumbs scatter. If equipped, remove the burner coils and clean them with an abrasive cleaner under hot running water. Wipe the surface with a soft rag and cleanser.
3. Countertops. This is the area where you chop, dice, carve and prepare your food with various instruments. Different countertops require different types of cleansers. Don't neglect to check your manufacturer's instructions for optimal care.
4. Dishwasher. As you rinse dishes to place in the dishwasher, water spots and food particles cling to the front of the appliance. Wipe the outside with a rag and cleanser. You can clean the inside by pouring a cup of vinegar into the unit and running it on the low cycle.
5. Microwave. The microwave should be wiped down with a rag, warm water and liquid dish cleanser. For tough spills in the interior, heat a cup of water for a minute (making sure it doesn't reach a boil) and let the steam loosen the stains.
6. Refrigerator. The most used appliance in the kitchen will more than likely attract the most fingerprints, spills and germs. Perform a quick audit on a weekly basis and toss out food that has expired. Wipe down the inside shelves with a cloth and warm water.
7. Sink. Use a mild abrasive to clean a stainless steel sink. To clean the garbage disposal, pour vinegar into the drain and allow it to sit for 30 minutes. Then, flush it with hot water for one minute.
8. Dish rack. Treat the dish rack like a dish. Soak it in warm, soapy water, wipe it down, rinse and replace on the counter top.
9. Oven. Follow your owner's manual on cleaning out your oven or use the self-cleaning option.
10. Garbage can. Remove the trash from the garbage can. Wipe down the garbage can inside and out and replace with a new bag.
If you find cleaning the kitchen to be a larger than desired project, or if you simply don't like to clean, there are several professional house cleaners who can do the job for you.

I know this Blog is supposed to be about our travels around BC but I just couldn't resist throwing this entry into mix. My latest trip (sans hubby) took me to visit my great friend in Burr, Saskatchewan. Having found most of my caches exclusively on the West Coast I was really looking forward to seeing how caching on the flat, dry, scrubby landscape of the Prairies measured up to caching in the wet, thick forests of the Coast.
It sure was different but was it ever awesome!
My very first Cache in SK was called Christ Church. A tiny little church by Patience Lake with a wonderful history lesson, it was a perfect, easy find to start my geocaching vacation on the right note.
The morning after I arrived we were greeted with about 4 inches of new snow!! We were going to go caching today! Well the first thing that I learned about Prairie people... a little snow stops nobody. We found 5 caches that day and it didn't quit snowing once! Pretty darn proud of myself!
Our next caching day took us to Lanigan, Jansen and Guernsey. I am embarrassed to admit that I thought all prairie caches would be easy to find...really how hard could it be? Was I ever wrong. After I spent 1/2 hour searching in the scrub bushes (and DNFed I might add) I have to admit that there are some pretty creative ways to hide a cache that I hadn't even thought of before this. No rotting logs or stumps for these cachers! And no geo-trails! I had no idea how much I relied on spotting that tell-tale trail. That's probably not a good thing.
On Saturday night we went to an Earth Day supper in the Burr Hall. It was a very appropriate celebration considering that we had been spending most of our time enjoying the outdoors and while we were there I was fortunate to visit a little with "Mac5." An avid cacher, who owns the local Health Food Store, she was more than willing to talk with us and dish out more than enough hints for some caches we just couldn't seem to track down. It was so awesome to talk caching with someone I hadn't met before! If you're reading this it was so nice to meet you and thanks for the help!
All too soon my holiday was over. I left behind a few travelbugs and coins, made a few new friends & converts, hid a new cache and gained a new appreciation for cachers on the Prairie.

I use to live in Saskatchewan so I can understand how hard it must have been to think outside the Forrest trees and into the "far as the eye can see" landscape instead!

Hello everybody,
I am attempting to make an XFCE based desktop that contains a bar at the top of the screen (similar to the one on gnome, except it would have a command box (similar to a search box)) and one at the bottom (containing all open files). However, I do not know how I would go about customizing XFCE to do this. My main concern is putting the command bar in the top bar (it would take custom commands that would perform different hard coded and user defined actions). I just ened to figure out how I would get that bar and how I would get a top bar. I have an example picture:
Create a 2nd panel will to the trick. Right click you panel and customize it. Verve will give you the command line entry.
So when I create the second panel, I can then get the command I need to put in my command/search box on that panel?
If you install xfce4-xfapplet you can use whatever applets are installed in gnome, which included what you show in that screenshot. For that you need to have gnome or its applets installed though.

Dobrica Cosic, a nationalist writer who served briefly as Yugoslavia's president as the country unraveled in civil war, died Sunday, his family said. He was 92.
A former communist-turned-nationalist, Cosic was one of the most influential figures in 20th century Serbia. He played an important role in the rise of Serbian nationalism in 1980s, leading to the bloody breakup of the former Yugoslavia.
Cosic joined the communist guerrilla resistance during the German occupation in World War II and became a government official in charge of propaganda after the war. At the time, Cosic had close ties with Yugoslav dictator Josip Tito.
In the 1960s, Cosic moved away from communism toward a more nationalist position. He was among the first intellectuals in Serbia who raised complaints about the status of Serbs within Yugoslavia, particularly in the ethnic Albanian-dominated province of Kosovo.
He served as president in 1992-1993 as most of the collapsing federation's nations had already declared independence, leaving only Serbia and Montenegro within Yugoslavia.
The transformation from a communist to a nationalist was also visible in Cosic's literary work: Gradually, he switched from novels about World War II — such as "Distant Is the Sun," from 1951 — to works concentrating more on the Serbian way of living or war heroism, as was the case with the immensely popular trilogy "A Time of Death," from the 1970s.
After Tito died in 1980, Cosic was active in campaigning for Serb rights in multiethnic Yugoslavia. He was known among supporters as the "father of the nation" for his proclaimed backing for the Serb cause.
His support was important in the rise to power of Serbian nationalist leader Slobodan Milosevic. Liberal Serbs saw Cosic as one of the key people behind the Greater Serbia project — an idea pushed forward by the Serbian nationalists who wanted to unite Serbia with Serb-populated areas of Croatia and Bosnia.
Cosic turned against Milosevic shortly before his ouster in 2000 by a popular uprising led by pro-Western reformists. In a recent interview, Cosic said the nation should give up on Kosovo, which declared independence in 2008, a move Serbia has refused to recognize.
"New generations should waste no more energy on Kosovo. That issue is solved," he told Belgrade newspaper Nedeljnik.
A list of his immediate survivors was not available.

The first Jolly Jumper was invented by Susan Olivia Poole in 1910 and produced for the retail market in 1948.
As a child Olivia watched her elders strap their babies to cradle boards to carry them as 'papooses'. While working in the fields, a mother would often hang the papoose on a sturdy tree limb and soothe the baby by occasionally pulling on the limb to create a bouncing motion.
Olivia remembered this in 1910 when her first child, Joseph, was born in Ontario, Canada. She made him a swing and called it a Jolly Jumper. She made the harness or saddle from a cloth diaper and a blacksmith created a soft-action steel spring. An axe handle was used for the spreader bar.
In 1942 Olivia and her husband moved to Vancouver, British Columbia. When grandchildren arrived, she continued to make Jolly Jumpers as she had for all of her seven children and by 1948 Jolly Jumpers were ready for mass production.
Olivia Poole and her son, Joseph Poole patented Susan's invention in 1957 and manufactured 'Jolly Jumpers' at Poole Manufacturing Co. Ltd. in British Columbia, Canada.
Fortunately, this wonderful Canadian invention is still being produced today in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada under its original name, Jolly Jumper. There are three models available; one with a door clamp (item #104), one on a portable stand (item #108) and one with a Musical Mat (item #105).
There are now over 200 items being manufactured under the Jolly Jumper trademark.

Thief: The Dark Project is a single player stealth-based game made by Looking Glass Studios for Microsoft Windows PCs and published in 1998 by Eidos Interactive. The player takes the role of Garrett, a master thief plying his trade in an unnamed city. Garrett posesses great thieving and stealth skills, including an almost preternatural ability to hide in shadows. These skills come partly from his growing up as a street urchin and from his later education with the secret society known as The Keepers. The game follows Garrett as he clashes with the powerful and embarks on a journey into the City's strange history, stirring up more than he bargained for.

59 points????? at Home?????? and worst of all, by the Raiders?????????
I, along with thousands in the Denver area, am still in shock. I don't know what to make of yesterday's absolute beatdown - at Home - at the hands of the Oakland Raiders.
I've always tried to be supportive of the McDaniels regime, even with all of his rookie coach quirks and desire for absolute power. McDaniels has completely lost the Broncos faithful. After yesterday, owner Pat Bowlen needs to get on the phone and start looking for replacements for 2011. Call Cowler, Gruden, Parcells, anyone that has ACTUAL NFL head coaching experience. This time, I would prefer a Defensive-minded head coach. If the team has to overpay, so be it. The Broncos just learned what happens when you go cheap on head coaches.
Yesterday was the last straw for McDaniels. I supported him after he traded Jay Cutler, Tony Scheffler, Peyton Hillis, and Brandon Marshall. I even thought the trades to get Tebow wasn't a bad move. After the 6-0 start, followed by 2-8 in 2009, all the bust draft picks (after only 1 year!) along with the joke this 2010 team has become, it's time for a change. The roster he has assembled is a complete mess. He and his coaching staff have no idea how to evaluate or coach defensive players. After firing Mike Nolan, McDaniels hired a "Yes Man" to run the defense by promoting Wink Martindale. Martindale's defense has been (and continues to be) a joke and an an utter failure (Can't pressure the QB, Can't stop the run, and can't stop opposing TE's).
Lil Hoodie has proved that he isn't ready to be a head coach, much less have absolute power (the Broncos have a puppet GM that does whatever McD tells him). Bowlen does deserve some of the blame because he essentially handed full control over to a person that had NO previous head coaching experience. McDaniels has a lot to learn before becoming a successful head coach. The 59 point beatdown at home by the Raiders should be enough to get him fired at the end of the season.
What do you think about McDaniels?

Strategic plantings can cut your energy bills
By Megan McKoy-Noe, CCC
You've upgraded your appliances, insulation, and lighting to help lower your monthly electric bill. What else can you do? Plenty, if you have a yard with landscaping options. Fall is a good time for planting in North Carolina, and the right combination of plants and trees can unearth hidden energy savings.
The U.S. Department of Energy claims that landscaping with energy efficiency in mind, on average, could save enough energy to recoup your investment in less than eight years. Here are two ways to think about planting for energy savings:
Shading savvy
In general, residents in North Carolina and the rest of the Southeast should make the most of shade during warm temperatures, but use trees that will eventually lose leaves (deciduous) to let winter sun shine through.
Shading a home with trees could drop the surrounding air temperature by as much as 9 degrees Fahrenheit. It gets better closer to the ground — since cool air sinks down, the air under trees may be up to 25 degree cooler than the air over the driveway.
Different trees serve unique purposes. To block solar heat on hot days but let the winter sun through in cooler temperatures, use deciduous trees. Evergreen trees and shrubs are ideal to provide continuous shade and also block heavy winds.
If you have an air conditioner, shading the unit can increase its efficiency by as much as 10 percent. Shading takes time. For example, a 6-foot to 8-foot deciduous tree planted near a home will begin shading windows in a year. Depending on the species and the home, the tree will shade the roof in five to 10 years. If this seems slow, remember that slow-growing trees have a number of advantages over faster-growing ones. They tend to live longer, their deeper roots make them more drought resistant, and they have stronger branches. Plant trees far enough away from the home so that when they mature, their root systems do not damage the foundation and branches do not damage the roof.
Don't forget about shrubs and groundcover plants. These short but sturdy shade-givers reduce heat radiation, cooling air before it reaches your home's walls and windows.
Windbreaks cut heating costs
Shrubs and trees create windbreaks and can keep wind chill away from a home. During cooler temperatures a windbreak reduces wind speed nearby, saving your home from higher heating costs.
It is always important to check wind directions at your home for yourself. However, generally in North Carolina, prevailing winds come from the northwest year-round; for most of the central part of the state, prevailing winds come from the southwest from November to mid-August; and on the coast, winter winds tend to come from the north and northwest.
It's best to block wind with a combination of trees and shrubs with low crowns — foliage which grows close to the ground. Evergreens are ideal. For the best protection, plan on leaving between two to five times the mature height of the trees or shrubs between the windbreak and the protected home.

Head coach Cameron Rast, on game: "Coming to Spokane is always tough for us. We knew that we needed to play well and push the game. I feel that we did that but we did not capitalize on our chances and you have to credit their effort. The game could have slipped away from us at the end, but the defense hung in there and Joseph Buttitta did well and made some big plays for us. We can definitely build on today's performance."
Rast, on road trip: "Gonzaga is always good at home and we wanted to get something out of today's game so that we had confidence against Portland. If we had lost today, we may have been a little deflated for Sunday. But we stayed organized and were able to play our game against a team that had its back against the wall. I think that we will be ready to play on Sunday."

Last year NPR put out a list of the top 100 science fiction and fantasy novels as voted on by their listeners. Such lists can be helpful for keeping up with the current zeitgeist of a genre (or in their case, genres). However, lists voted on by the public tend to severely underestimate the influence of older works which are not currently on everyone's mind. For a more balanced picture of a genre, you need to find a list like the one created by the Center for the Study of Science Fiction at the University of Kansas. They created their Basic Science Fiction Library to help public libraries know what books they should carry and to help scholars understand which authors have been influential in shaping science fiction over time. Many of these books are older; not all of them are either in print or available for the Kindle. However, the majority can be found.

�The Holly and The Ivy� tour opens some decorated historic homes Saturday during the annual New Bern Woman�s Club fundraiser and promotion for the city�s beauty.
�The Holly and The Ivy� tour opens some decorated historic homes Saturday during the annual New Bern Woman�s Club fundraiser and promotion for the city�s beauty.
The proceeds fuel the major fundraiser and the club�s support of numerous local charities. It also provides scholarship money.
The tour is from 10:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at seven featured homes, along with the New Bern Fireman�s Museum and several supporting businesses.
For 14 years, homeowners have opened their houses to showcase some of the city�s finest residences, with docents to share facts and stories about the homes.
The tour would not be complete without the designated �Sugar Plum Treats House,� which this year is the Forbes House at 717 Pollock Street. It is from the 1760 era, now owned by Ronnie and Gerard Greene. It features home-made cookies by club members, and cider.
The self-guided walking tour includes two homes each on Johnson and Hancock streets and three on Pollock Street.
The Dr. William R. Hand House on Johnson Street is from the 1925-26 era and has a gambrel roofline and other Colonial Revival elements. It was designed by Goldsboro architect John David Gullett, with Palladian and lunette windows in the gable end. It is owned by Martha and Jim Ross.
The Old Headmaster�s House on Johnson Street was built around 1830 and has transitional late Federal and early Greek detailing. It is an example of a small working-class home of the period. It is owned by Brenda and Peter McMurray.
The John Horner Hill House on Pollock Street dates to the 1770s and is in Georgian style, with later plain Greek revival and Victorian work. The house has unusually large sash windows for the period. It is owned by Cammie Lassiter Lee.
The Thomas Daniels Rental Property, 215 Hancock St., was built in 1895, with a three-sided bay that set it apart from other small gable-front homes. Daniels was a successful dealer in fish and oysters, who owned several other rental houses on Hancock and Pollock streets. It is owned by Moira and Bruce LaViolette.
The Lassiter Rental House on Hancock Street is from 1895, a comfortable home with a twin at 209 Hancock St. It was built as a rental property by Jesse Lassiter, manager of the Independent Steamboat Line. It is owned by Frank and Sherry Springer.
The Street-Ward House on Pollock Street is from 1882 and is a late-Victorian cross-gabled roof style. The house is now the Aerie Inn Bed and Breakfast. The Aerie Guest House and Conference Center, across the street at 512 Pollock, will also be featured. It is a 1908 vintage Colonial Revival house. It is owned by Marty and Michael Gunhus.
The New Bern Firemen�s Museum, 408 Hancock St., adds to the historic value of the tour, dedicated to the preservation of the storied fire-fighting history in the city. Exhibits include early firefighting equipment, trucks and Fred, the famous fire horse who served for 17 years and died of a heart attack on the way to a fire.
Each tour stop is marked with a decorative outdoor lantern.
Featured lunch spots, with a 10 percent discount for tour ticket holders include Baker�s Kitchen on Middle Street, Lawson�s Landing Caf� at the N.C. History Center and Morgan�s Tavern & Grill.
�The Holly and The Ivy�
Saturday, 10:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
Tour homes:
The Dr. William R. Hand House, 216 Johnson St.
The Old Headmaster�s House, 422 Johnson St.
The John Horner Hill House, 713 Pollock St.
Forbes House, 717 Pollock Street, this year�s Sugar Plum Treats House
The Thomas Daniels Rental Property, 215 Hancock St.
The Lassiter Rental House, 207 Hancock St.

For tickets and information, call 514-6716 or 638-2577.

Sporting Life columnist Dennis Doyle wrote last week that the newly elected president of the Maryland Watermen's Association, Robert T. Brown Sr. of St. Mary's County, was apprehended by Natural Resources Police illegally setting nets off of Chapel Point State Park.
Those were fighting words to Mick Blackistone, executive director of the Association.
The Maryland Watermen's Association and members are upset and disappointed about the brief and inaccurate statements made by columnist Dennis Doyle in April 4's Bay Weekly regarding our new president Robert T. Brown Sr.
Let me set the record straight. Capt. Brown was haul seining off the beach on public land, not private, as Doyle wrote. He and four or five other watermen have worked the same area for over 15 years, often coming in contact with the Natural Resources Police with no problems. Recently, however, an officer gave Brown a citation because he didn't have written permission to fish there.
He was breaking an old colonial British law, still on the books at the Department of Natural Resources. He was not "apprehended" as Doyle wrote. The Association is working with the Department to abolish old and unenforceable fishing regulations.
I judged the incident proper and newsworthy since, I believe, Capt. Brown was at the time of the violation acting head of the MWA and likely to be elected president. He was certainly aware of that law (or should have been), and it is troubling that he disregarded it in light of his position.
Brown was using a haul seine off the shores of Chapel Point State Park. According to Southern District Lieutenant of Police Shawn Garren, that violation is enforced, though infrequently encountered, and is usually initiated by complaint.
This incident did indeed begin with a complaint by recreational anglers the previous evening about untended commercial equipment denying them access to park fishing waters. When two officers investigated the next morning they encountered Brown haul seining and issued him a citation for the violation.
The Maryland Park Service this week issued a letter of permission allowing Capt. Brown to fish Chapel Point State Park — but not to interfere with recreational anglers.

One Month Dual Antiretroviral Prophylaxis to Prevent Resistance Mutations in Mothers Exposed to Single Dose Nevirapine

|Condition or disease
|HIV Infections
|Drug: Zidovudine (ZDV) Drug: Didanosine (ddI)
|Phase 2
A single nevirapine dose to the mother, with or without a dose to the child, in addition to oral ZDV prophylaxis starting from 28 weeks gestation has been proven to be highly effective in reducing further mother-to-child HIV transmission (PMTCT).
However, post exposure nevirapine resistance mutations are observed in the mother's viral population. These mutations detectable very early after exposure tend to disappear over time.
Nevertheless, they may be associated with decrease in efficacy of non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI) containing regimens subsequently given to the women for their own health.
Therefore, there is a need for research to prevent selection of resistance in the first place or to overcome the resistance in subsequent treatment of the infected mother or infant.
Nevirapine plasma levels above IC50 have been detected in women exposed to a single 200 mg dose of nevirapine in a significant number of women during the third week postpartum.
We hypothesize that giving ZDV+ddI to women exposed to nevirapine for one month as soon as possible after exposure may prevent the selection of nevirapine resistance mutations.

- Drug: Zidovudine (ZDV)
Zidovudine 300 mg, twice daily, for one month postpartum. Note: after July 03, 2005, all women received 200 mg, twice daily, for the same duration.
- Drug: Didanosine (ddI)
250 mg ddI-EC (400 mg if body weight >60 kg) once daily, starting at the onset of labor and for one month postpartum
- Proportion of patients with viral NNRTI mutations detectable during the 4 month follow-up compared with the incidence observed in the PHPT-2 clinical trial, who received the same antiretroviral prophylaxis but no post-partum regimen [ Time Frame: Within 4 months postpartum ]

Brits launch Operation Wallace and aid French Resistance
On this day in 1944, 60 British soldiers, commanded by Major Roy Farran, fight their way east from Rennes toward Orleans, through German-occupied forest, forcing the Germans to retreat and aiding the French Resistance in its struggle for liberation. Code-named Operation Wallace, this push east was just another nail in the coffin of German supremacy in France.
The Germans had already lost their position in Normandy, and had retreated from southern France. Most of the German troops in the west were trapped—and were either being killed or taken prisoner—in what was called "the Falaise Pocket," a site around the eastern town of Falaise, which was encircled by the Allies. The Allies were also landing tens of thousands of men and vehicles in France, and the French Resistance was becoming more brazen every day. On the 19th, the French police force announced its loyalty to the Resistance cause by seizing the Prefecture de Police in Paris, raising the French national flag, and singing the Marseillaise, the French national anthem.
Major Roy Farran, a veteran of the fighting in Italy, employed his British Special Air Service force to boldly burst eastward from Rennes to the region just north of Orleans through the German lines of defense in order to attack the enemy from within its own strongholds. Along the way, French Resistance fighters joined the battle with him. Farran was taken aback by the strength of the French freedom fighters, and the anticipation of liberation in the air. Describing one Frenchwoman, Farran said, "Her smile ridiculed the bullets."

How to Choose a Commercial Loan Modification Company
The vast majority of companies that facilitate loan modifications in the United States are solely dedicated to helping residential homeowners. It can be difficult for the commercial property owner who needs a commercial loan modification to actually find a company that has experience and knowledge in processing successful commercial loan workouts.
The commercial property owner who is facing the prospect of foreclosure has a few different options when he or she is attempting to modify their loan. For an illustrative example I will use a real life situation of a client of mine in Tampa, Florida. We won't use their real names for privacy purposes and we will use the fictional name of Blue Harbor Apartments for their property.
Commercial Loan Modification: a Hypothetical
They own a 250 unit apartment building that they purchased for 8.3 million dollars in 2006. In the last year they have seen occupancy drop to 65%. This increase in vacancies has severely hurt their net monthly income. Their monthly rental income is now $92,000.00. Their expenses, including the mortgage payments are $118,000.00 a month. They are currently coming out of pocket over $20,000.00 a month just to hold on to the property. The loan they have is held by a major international bank and is amortized over 25 years at an interest rate of 7.5%. They are in a tough situation because the value of their property on today's market is approximately 6 million dollars. They are unable to refinance with another lender because they don't have any equity in the property. The only choice they have is to try to modify the commercial loan.
