But what’s a good credit score to buy a house, and what is the minimum credit score to refinance?

For many people, the new year brings big changes — and there are few changes bigger than selling a home. You may be ready for a fresh start, but deciding whether you should sell your house is no easy decision. There are a whole host of financial factors to consider, not to mention the emotions that come with leaving a place you’ve made your home. With so much to think about, making the final decision may come down to one simple question: Will 2019 be a seller’s market? The short answer is yes. But it’s not all good news.

Are you ready to buy a home and you want to make sure that you get a terrific mortgage rate?
Buying a home is one of the most significant financial investments that you’ll make in life, and it’s essential that your home loan fits your budget and lifestyle. A fantastic mortgage interest rate is one that meets your budget requirements. Keep reading for advice on how to obtain the best mortgage interest rates on your new home loan.
Buying a home is one of the most significant decisions you can make in life, and it typically helps set you on a course for financial stability.
As you sit in the title office signing an enormous amount of forms, you will inevitably see a paper that lists every payment that will be due over the life of the loan. You will also see exactly how much interest you will pay over the life of the mortgage. These numbers can be very daunting and make you wonder if you’ll ever indeed “own” your home.
Police officers, troopers and correctional officers have an extremely difficult job serving their communities. So, when it comes time to buy a house and become a permanent part of that community, you want financing to be easy. Thankfully, there are a number of great home financing options available specifically for police officers. Let’s explore some of the most common types of loan programs that help police officers buy a home.
HUD Good Neighbor Next Door
As a law enforcement professional, you have a fantastic opportunity to participate in the HUD Good Neighbor Next Door program that helps public servants purchase homes in revitalizing neighborhoods. Through this program, you can buy a HUD home for 50 percent of the appraised value when the house is in a designated area. You must agree to live at the property for at least three years to qualify for the Good Neighbor Next Door program. Programs like these are a great way for police officers to save money and start improving communities from the day you move in.
FHA Home Loans
FHA loans are a great option for police officers and first-time homebuyers because you don’t need a stellar credit rating and they only require the buyer to put 3.5 percent into a down payment. These government-backed loans come with very competitive interest rates, although you will need to pay for private mortgage insurance (PMI), potentially throughout the life of the loan.
Homes for Heroes partners with mortgage lenders across the country who know these loan programs inside and out. Sign up and we’ll match you with a Homes for Heroes mortgage specialist who can help you figure out what’s best for your unique situation.
Geographic-Specific Home Loans
Depending on where you’re looking to buy, you may be able to find a geographic-specific home loan program for police officers. You’ll find these most often in major metropolitan areas where real estate prices are high. The city of Chicago, for example, has an excellent home buying assistance program available to police officers who work in the city.
The Chicago Public Safety Officer Home Buyer Assistance Program is a pilot program that was developed to improve struggling neighborhoods by encouraging police officers to purchase homes in those communities. Eligible police officers who meet the maximum income requirements receive $30,000 to help with down payment and closing costs. Many geographic-specific programs, including Chicago’s, require buyers to live in the home for a certain number of years to receive full benefits. Your Homes for Heroes mortgage specialist will help you navigate all of the details and requirements as you go through the loan process.
Time to Buy
Once you have your home loan financing in place, a Homes for Heroes affiliate real estate specialist will help you find the home of your dreams. Our real estate specialists are experts at locating fantastic housing options that meet your needs. Whether your department requires you to live within the jurisdiction, you’re searching in a competitive market, or you just want to live close to your precinct, our specialists can find the right home for you.
Along with sharing their expertise and gratitude, they’ll also save you substantial money on real estate fees. After closing, Homes for Heroes will send you a check for 0.7 percent of the purchase price. That means if you buy a $300,000 house, you’ll receive a Hero Rewards check worth $2,100 in the mail from Homes for Heroes. From the best possible loan to a check at closing, it’s just our way of saying thank you for the service and sacrifice of police officers everywhere.
Are you a police officer looking for help financing your next home purchase? Sign up today and see how Homes for Heroes can help you save money.
What Is PMI?
PMI is private mortgage insurance that you pay as part of your monthly mortgage payment. You only have to pay PMI if you have less than a 20 percent down payment when you purchase your house. If you don’t have a 20 percent down payment, paying the mortgage insurance is what allows a lender to give you a loan. You are paying the extra cost to show you are not at risk of stopping your monthly payments.

The first weeks of this year look like one incessant Indian cooking session: I have made several batches of the fantastic chilli pickles (from the previous post), I have finally learnt how to prepare easy naans and, last but not least, I have made about a dozen different old and new Indian dishes, among which this chicken in sauce. I relied here on my own mixture of spices, which, given the complex and intimidating Indian culinary heritage, was a high-risk decision. This time I was lucky to obtain a palatable aromatic meal, no matter how far it was from the genuine Indian harmony of flavours.
The recipe is based on this Indian-Style Chutney (my very first attempt to experiment alone with Indian spices), much loved and preserved in big amounts for the past five years. Since I am crazy for its spice combination, I thought I might work on it a bit and adapt to a chicken and tomato dish. I kept the seasoning almost unaltered, making some small modifications, such as skipping the vinegar or adding garlic and ginger, extremely frequent in Indian sauce dishes.
TIPS: Try your best to find nigella seeds (they are available in Indian shops and on internet). For me they are a very important ingredient here. (And if you worry what to do with the remains, they can be used in many European dishes too, for example sprinkled on buns, bread, baked snacks, etc..).
Preparation: about 2 hours
Ingredients (serves two, if served with a light vegetable side-dish)
2 small chicken legs or two big chicken thighs, skinned; if you intend to eat the dish Indian way, i.e. with your hands, cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces
1x 400 g can of tomatoes (or, of course, fresh tomatoes, if you read this recipes while they are in season)
2 tablespoons coconut oil
1 medium onion, very finely sliced (or 2 big Western shallots)
2 big garlic cloves, crushed
2 cm grated fresh ginger
1 teaspoon mustard seeds
1 teaspoon fennel seeds
2 teaspoons nigella (onion seeds)
2 or more dried chili peppers whole (without stalks) or torn into pieces
1 teaspoon powdered chili
1/3 teaspoon turmeric
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
fresh coriander leaves
Heat the oil in a shallow pan.
Stir-fry the whole dry spices (apart from chilli and turmeric powders) and whole chillies at medium heat for about 30 seconds (or more, until they start yielding a wonderful aroma). Make sure you don’t burn them.
Add the sliced onion and stir-fry until golden brown.
Lower the heat, add the garlic and the ginger, stir-fry for about 30 seconds.
Finally add the chopped tomatoes and when they start to boil, add the chicken, the salt, the sugar and the chilli powder.
(If using chopped fresh tomatoes, let them simmer until they disintegrate and create a thick chunky sauce; then only add the chicken, the salt, the sugar and the chilli powder.)
Covert the pot and let it simmer for at least one hour (until the chicken meat falls off the bone). I prefer to simmer at very low heat for at least 2 hours.
Add water during the cooking process if necessary.
Serve with chopped coriander leaves.

Despite passage last month of a ballot initiative requiring police to impound cars driven by unlicensed drivers and illegal immigrants, police officers still have the discretion as to whether to do so, the Denver city attorney’s office has decided.
“The actual language of I-100 did not change the basic principle that the police have discretionary authority to order impoundment at the scene of a traffic stop in appropriate circumstances,” stated a memo from the city attorney’s office released Thursday afternoon.
The memo was drafted by Assistant City Attorney David Broadwell.
Revekka Balancier, a spokeswoman for Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper, said those pushing Initiative 100 intended to make such impoundments automatic, “but the legal analysis does not support that,” she said.
“In general, the city attorney has advised that the actual language of the ordinance, not the language of the ballot question, controls the interpretation of the law now that it has been adopted by the voters,” the memo states.
The memo adds that federal officials will have to be consulted before vehicles are impounded based on immigration status. The language of the initiative stated police would have to impound vehicles driven by “illegal aliens.”
Broadwell’s memo states that the city is arranging meetings with federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials to come up with “protocols and procedures” for determining a driver’s immigration status in accordance with federal standards.
Dan Hayes, one of those who pushed the initiative, said he is researching ways to challenge the city attorney’s decision.
“We must have a period of time where we can challenge their decision,” Hayes said. “I don’t know if that’s in a formal court or not.”
He added that the ballot language stated officers “shall” make such impoundments when a car is driven by an unlicensed driver, and he thinks the passage of such language should take precedence.
“Obviously, they’re not interested in public opinion,” Hayes said. “They’ve come up with their own solution.”
Broadwell said passage of the initiative will require other adjustments. He said meetings are underway with court officials to come up with a way to expedite court processings that now will be required.
He added that the city will have to impose a $2,500 bond and a $100 fee when vehicles are impounded. The bond would be required to release a car from impoundment. That bond would be forfeited if the vehicle was driven by an unlicensed driver within one year.

What to do, what to do?
Should I love you or should I leave you?
Do I hide my feelings of let them go?
Do I help you or do I ignore you?
Do I ponder on what could have been or go out and make it happen?
Do I lay here and watch them live the life I want or do I change for the better?
Do I hide behind a mask as all those I love fade away or do I leave my comfort zone as to listen to you speak?
So many decisions, so little time.

Rumor: 'iPhone 6' may sport 10MP f/1.8 camera with interchangeable lensesApple may be planning a major upgrade to the rear-facing camera system in its next-generation handset, according to a new rumor out of the Far East.
Mockup of iPhone with 4.94-inch screen, created by Marco Arment.
The so-called iPhone 6 could ship with an improved 10-megapixel sensor and feature interchangeable lenses made of clear resin, a Tuesday report said. The rumor comes from Chinese site IT168 and was first noticed by GforGames.
Little is known about Apple's plans for the future of the iPhone lineup. Most speculation thus far has centered around the device's display, which is expected to get a bump from its current 4-inch diagonal to around 5 inches.
As part of the shakeup, Apple may discontinue the mid-range iPhone 5C. CEO Tim Cook has said that the handset faced weaker-than-expected demand, with consumers opting instead for the flagship iPhone 5S.
On Topic: iPhone
- Honda launches 2017 Accord with Apple CarPlay option
- YouTube rolls out Periscope-style live streaming support on mobile
- Sketchy 'iPhone 7' pricing rumor points to 'Pro' models, 32 & 256GB capacities
- T-Mobile thanks customers with hour of in-flight Gogo access, free European roaming

This year was just as fun as anticipated!
I always buy clearance egg coloring kits after Easter and store them until the next year. I also save the coloring cups, utensils for moving the eggs, and the little white crayons to reuse every year.
I've learned a few tricks along the way. For instance, I double up the color tablets for classic colors (neon colors don't need a partner).
Sometimes it's hard to tell what color those little tablets are. The easiest way to figure it out is to wet a paper towel and rub it on the tablet. You can easily see the color on the paper towel.
I test the tablets and do my best to match the dye color to the cup color to make it easier to identify colors when we're all at the table coloring Easter eggs. I use vinegar to dissolve the tablets, but I use water for the pinks (as recommended on the kit instructions).
I also have at least 3 cups of each color so we don't waste much time waiting for a color to become available. I cover the table with layers and layers of newspapers to absorb inevitable spills.
This year Griffin ended up making most of his eggs brown. That made a few cups of dye brown as well.
We really had tons of fun coloring Easter eggs together. It's good old fashioned family time that warms my heart.
|I was giving Nora pointers. Apparently, we were having a Crazy Hair contest. What can I say--I was cleaning and cooking all day.|
|Jared and his finished eggs|
|Grandpa Dan and his eggs|
|Me and my eggs|
|Nolan and his eggs|
|Griffin and his eggs|
|Nora and her eggs|
|Our family's finished eggs|
|We finished our evening with some Jello eggs. :)|
Happy Easter everyone!

Indian cuisine is a melting pot of the rich diversity that lives in India. And when you travel across its vast territory, the diversity reaches your plate as well. After you have paced the length and breadth of the country, you very well know that Indian dishes are loaded with lots of carbohydrates.

Ditch all those foods that pile on your carb intake and switch to ones that have low levels of carbs; i.e., Low Carb Indian Food. The changes will not happen in a fortnight and you need to follow a regular diet religiously for some time to see a real transformation.

I think I’m in the mood for a conversation with you. I think the thing is, if you work like a professional you can be more productive. And I feel very comfortable with this thought.
I feel the same way. I work in a professional environment. I work in a professional environment. I work in a professional environment. I work in a professional environment.
There’s a lot of these things that can come at you from being in a professional environment. One of the things I love about being in a professional environment is the fact that it’s a very small thing and I’m not used to that. I’m used to being in a professional environment. So I find it’s quite interesting to see what I can learn from the experience of being in a professional environment and I think that’s one of the things that I think is a great value.
The scene of the movie is a lot more like a scene from the manga than a scene from the movie. The first couple of scenes are the real-world scenes of the movie, so there’s some really unique moments that are interesting to watch instead of just seeing the movie.
I think it’s interesting to see how the scene looks in real life because it’s not like it’s an animation or anything really. It’s not like the movie is anything but a movie. Its is a real person, but the movie is more of a documentary. So it’s an interesting comparison. The movie is more about the story and the characters, and the scene is more of a documentary about the movie itself.
Its one of those movies that makes you think “I wonder how this would look if I were wearing this outfit” and “I wonder how this scene would look if I were wearing this outfit”. Thats the kind of stuff that you learn by watching a movie.
So its not a movie, but its not a documentary either. Its more of a documentary. You have to think of this as a film, but it’s not about the film itself. It’s more of a documentary. It’s more like an interview. You can watch it, but you can’t tell what they are saying. And yes, there are still more interviews in the movie.
As a film, Deathloop’s story is a great starting point to understand what makes a good RPG and the kind of game that can make a film. However, it’s not an RPG. It’s a videogame. It’s not like your typical video game. It’s not a game that lets you shoot dudes with guns. It’s not a game that lets you collect power-ups.
The game is not a game. It is a short film that goes through a few scenes in the game, and shows more of the game’s story. It gives you a good grounding in the game, but it isn’t a game. There are no RPG elements, no story missions, no quest-driven gameplay. It’s just a film. There are no in-game events. Its just a documentary.

Ind. history group to auction Audubon collectionsBreaking News
tags: Audubon, birds
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — An Indiana group devoted to telling the state's story will auction works by John James Audubon next spring to raise money to acquire and store items more relevant to its mission.
The Indiana Historical Society paid $4,000 for "The Birds of America" in 1933 and $900 for "Viviparous Quadrupeds of North America" in 1951. The two sets together are expected to fetch at least $3.3 million at the Sotheby's auction in April.
"That's a pretty good rate of return," society President and CEO John Herbst said Wednesday.
Audubon established himself as the United States' dominant wildlife artist before his death in 1851. His "Birds of America" series was sold by subscription from 1827 to 1838 and featured 435 hand-painted plates depicting America's native birds. His "Viviparous Quadrupeds" was published between 1845 and 1854 and includes 150 color lithographic plates....

So I read this story a whole lot of years ago. I can remember it clearly
enough to know I adored it; not enough to actually remember the bloody
title. Or author. Or any character names.
Our hero: distant, brooding English movie actor with a secret childhood
trauma. His speciality? Horror movies (including the Slasher Charlie series,
Blackbeard, and Dybbuk, which was his breakout role). He plays monsters, in
short. Totally gone off women because of all the women who wanted to sleep
with the monster. He shagged most of them, then went off them once he
realised they didn’t want him, they wanted safe!scary sex.
Our heroine: Competent, intelligent and the only organised person in a
horde of artistic personalities. Helping friends out by taking a low paying
job as part of their production of a play. She drives a temperamental MG,
which has somewhat of a starring role in the story.
There is also a (secretly) crazy director and a plump and comfortable best
friend of the hero, who is an actress in the play, and the BF’s husband
(also an actor?).
Our setting: the aforementioned play, which is about a monster, before
opening night. It’s set in the US somewhere.
Our story unfolds and heroine sees hero; uncomfortable attraction on her
part, distant disdain on his. Things progress, it is literally a dark and
stormy night, her beloved MG won’t start, she ends up at his place, a big
old house in which he grew up. Mutual but unexpressed attraction occurs.
Crazy director discovers the visit occurred and warns her our hero is
Sometime later, she goes to a marathon of our hero’s movies, despite being
genuinely scared by horror films, and returns to the dim and deserted
theatre…only to encounter our hero, shirtless, experimenting with
greasepaint as he works on the monster’s makeup for the play. He guesses
she’d been to see his movies; she reluctantly admits it. Sex ensues, hot
but uncomfortable as they are on a prop bed. They finish, he leaves without
a word. She is embarrassed/ashamed/what have you; he is deeply pissed off
and storms home, thinking her just another woman who wants to bang the
monster. Then suddenly! Revelation! She had sex with him not because she was
afraid of him, but in spite of it!
Time runs on, our heroine gets minorly hurt in a bunch of accidents at the
theatre which crazy director implies may not have been accidents at all.
Duhn duhn duhn…
She ends up at our hero’s house in (or maybe after?) a moment of crisis,
and enters his unlocked abode. There is a darkened stairway and a creepy
closet on a landing halfway up. So of course she goes to look in it.
Suddenly, she’s pushed inside and the door slammed and locked behind her!
It’s scary and oh so dark, but she finds some matches on the floor and
lights one. The inside of the closet is covered in monsters, scribbled in a
child’s hand. She is super scared and panicky (claustrophobic?).
Eventually, our hero finds her, and there is much relief and meeting of the
minds and romance and revealing of childhood secrets (his mother used to
lock him in the closet for hours at a time and the monsters were his
protection from the terrifying dark. Then his parents were killed in a car
wreck and he wasn’t found for several days). Much compassion and love and
Later, she’s almost killed in an ‘accident’ and then the theatre burns
down (maybe only partly?) and for a moment, she believes it might have been
our hero. Mortally offended, his trust betrayed, our hero spurns her.
It turns out to have been crazy director all along and after a series of
events I don’t remember, they end up on a plane to England together. And he
promises to have her beloved MG shipped after them.
The facts: It appeared in a book with two other stories (I think it was
first?) that made absolutely zero impression. The book might have had a
yellow cover with a creepy stalkerish inset picture, and possibly was a
Anyone have any ideas as to title/author? HABO, ‘cause I’d love to read
That is so much detail, I bet some half asleep Bitchery reader will name it within .02 seconds. Why aren’t there more actor heroes, by the way? What’s up with that?

Semester project (master)
Plasma technology can be used for sound diffusion without resorting to a vibrating membrane and a cumbersome driver (as in conventional loudspeakers), which presents several practical advantages (thinness of the loudspeaker, mechanical simplicity, etc.). A recent development in the laboratory led to the construction of a square plasma loudspeaker of 25 cm x 25 cm, which acoustic performance can be considered comparable to equivalent sized moving coil loudspeakers.
Besides sound diffusion, using such plasma transducer for active sound absorption could also be advantageous, especially due to the absence of membrane, that is a limiting factor of loudspeaker-based concepts (such as the electroacoustic absorber developed in the lab). Indeed, it has been shown that such plasma-based sound absorber outperform conventional loudspeaker-based active absorber in terms of frequency range of absorption, mainly due to the absence of membrane.
In this project, we aim at building an experimental prototype of corona-discharge sound absorber that could be used as a demonstrator for room mode damping at low-frequencies, based on the most recent design of plasma loudspeaker. The work will be split into the following tasks:
COMSOL simulations to find optimal configuration for the plasma sound absorber
construction of a prototype, including electrical powering and control architecture
development of the experimental facility to characterize the acoustic performance of such prototype
in situ assessment as room mode damping device
Prerequisite: Audio engineering lecture
Learning outcomes: Plasma-based loudspeaker, Active control, Acoustic measurements
Context: COMSOL simulations (30%), Prototype construction (30%), Acoustic assessment (40 %)

It appears Krinard is a Buffy, Angel, Blade and Underworld fan, since she's incorporated elements of these pop culture icons in her paranormal thriller. Making good use of her Roaring '20s setting with a gangster-style "war," speakeasies, bootleggers and even
a touch of the Great Gatsby lifestyle, Krinard creates a solid novel - though it's not as captivating as her previous paranormal romances.
Reclusive Griffin Durant protects his sister by refusing to join the pack. He may be a werewolf, but he remains aloof until the night he saves Allie. Unwittingly and unwillingly drawn into the battle between wolf and vampire by their friends' disappearances, Allie and Griffin join forces to prevent an all-out war between a gangster, the master and the pack leader. This leads them to unexpected truths and a passion that grows against all odds. (HQN, Oct., 400 pp., $6.99)


Recently Huawei launched its flagship smartphone, the Honor 6. It is the world’s first Octa-core 4G CAT6 smartphone. The device is priced at Rs 19,999 selling through e-commerce website.
The Honor 6 offers more than its price and is most likely to give tough competition to other flagship smartphones.
Priced at Rs 19,999 Honor 6 offers specifications similar to smartphones such as Samsung GalaxyS5, HTC One M8, Sony Xperia Z2 and Moto X which fall under the Rs 30000- Rs 40000 price bracket.
Here’s a comparison between Huawei Honor and its competitors:
Honor 6 sports a 5 inch in-cell JDI screen full HD. The Moto X has a 5.2 inch AMOLED capacitive touchscreen, Galaxy S5 has a Super AMOLED capacitive touchscreen whereas HTC M8 boasts a Super LCD3 capacitive touchscreen and Xperia Z2 5.2 inch IPS LCD touchscreen.
Honor 6 has the maximum PPI with 445 pixels compared to Moto X’s 424 pixels, Galaxy S5’s 432 pixels, M8’s 441 pixels and Xperia Z2’s 424 pixels.
When it comes to connectivity, Honor 6 has both 3G as well as 4G, but none of its competitors has a 4G connectivity.
Honor 6 is powered by a 1.7 GHz Octacore Kirin 920 processor making it the only Octa-core 4G CAT6 smartphone. Moto X, Galaxy S5 and HTC M8 are powered by a 2.5GHz Quadcore Snapdragon 801. The Xperia Z2 has the 2.3 GHz quadcore processor.
Both Honor 6 and Xperia Z2 are backed up by 3GB RAM, which is higher than Moto X, Galaxy S5 and HTC M8 which have 2GB RAM.
Like the Moto X, Galaxy S5 and HTC M8, the Honor 6 also comes with 16/32 GB internal storage option whereas Xperia Z2 has only 16GB of internal storage.
The Galaxy S5, HTC M8 and Xperia Z2 can have 128 GB of expandable storage via Micro SD card and Honor 6 can be expanded to 64GB, whereas the Moto X does not have a Micro SD card slot.
The Honor 6 has superior cooling system with Aluminium alloy structure plus Panasonic graphites and side cooling tech. On the other hand its competitors does not have any cooling system.
Talking about the camera, Honor 6 boasts a 13MP with dual LED flash same as the Moto X, but Galaxy S5 has a 16MP camera and HTC M8 has a dual 4MP rear camera. The Xperia Z2 has the best 20.7MP rear camera with LED flash.
But in case of the front facing camera, Honor 6 has the lead as it sports a 5MP front camera with 10 face-enhancements. The Moto X and Galaxy S5 have 2MP front camera. The Xperia Z2 has a 2.2 MP camera and HTC M8 boasts a 5MP front camera but has no enhancement feature.
The Honor 6 can click pictures with sound and has a unique feature called the ultra-fast snapshot which takes only 0.6 seconds to click a picture, whereas its competitors does not have any of these features.
Honor 6 is also ahead in case of the battery. It is fueled by a 3100mAh battery with SmartPower 2.0 (upto 30% power saving technology). On the other hand Moto X has 2300 Li-ion battery, Galaxy S5 has a 2800mAh battery, HTC M8 has a Li-ion 2600mAh battery and the Xperia Z2 is juiced by a 3200mAh battery.
Honor 6 is also lighter as it weighs only 130gms compared to 144gms Moto X, 145gms Galaxy S5, 160gms HTC M8 and 163gms Xperia Z2.

| Guest chapter 1 . 9/21/2012
| ShivaVixen chapter 8 . 9/15/2012
Just realized I never favorited or reviewed (if I've done the later, I've forgotten)
Great story, and I'm off to favorite the other two . . . As well as look at detention woes. :)
| Name chapter 8 . 10/4/2011
Reading this I have no sympathy for Braig/Xigbar. He just makes me angry, all that bloodlust puts me off. And he killed Quistis and Zack (Nooooo!) and so many others. Though for such a professional killer I find it a little funny that he's beaten by an untrained boy with a key, one mage and one knight. I do however have an even greater appreciation for KHLeon/Squall.
| hyakadog chapter 8 . 4/24/2011
Wow. That was one amazing fic. I absolutely love how much you fleshed out Braig and Squall! The was just awesome! This is gonna pretty much be part of my fannon now.
| Dragon Aurora chapter 8 . 1/21/2011
Wow, this was rather intense. I loved seeing (well, reading is more correct...) the gradual insanity in Braig. Well done!
| complicityangel chapter 1 . 1/11/2011
I read it the first time and didn't leave a review so sorry lol. I love this fic. I mean I love the way you write Braig and Squall, how Squall is so naive even though he's still the stoic Squall we all know.
I also love how you slowly show Braig becoming more unhinged as time passed by,you didn't show him as a good man but as one that was on a short leash. I can't end this review without mentioning the others.
I love how you explain why Cloud is the way he is KH 1. Also gotta love Tifa and Aerith you kept them in character. By the way love how Yuffie just jumps on Braig without thinking it through even though she was supposed to be younger she is still in character. All in all wonderful job this story has become one of my favorite Kingdom Hearts stories.
| Vheeri The Succubus chapter 8 . 6/23/2010
Riviting tale chap.
| Vheeri The Succubus chapter 7 . 6/23/2010
Wow oh wow that was amazing, but I wish Braig had his way. Anywho, great details.
| Vheeri The Succubus chapter 4 . 6/23/2010
It's pretty rare to find good authors here. Cool story bro! *thumbs up*
| Valiance chapter 8 . 5/23/2010
Oh, wow. Wow. I'm surprised this story doesn't have more reviews, because damn, it's good. For a character we know comparatively little about, you really hit Braig's characterisation on the head, and managed to get the balance between complete bastard and still being likeable, or at least funny enough, to pull the story along. The unlikely mentor/student relationship between him and Squall was interesting, too.
I'm excited to hear there are sequels! *g* I can't wait to read them.
| surxi25 chapter 8 . 2/15/2010
I think it was the best fanfic I've read so far. Seriously, it was great. Except for some minor details we can notice now because of BBS spoilers, it could've been the story of what happened in RG.
I simply loved it, the FF characters (poor Zack!), Braig's and the apprentices' obsession, the writing style.. everything.
Now I'll have to read the sequels ;) Excellent work!
| kmsaum chapter 7 . 1/28/2010
OhmyGAWD it's so good I can't freaking STOP and I swear I'll leave you at least five proper reviews when I get home!
Good LORD you are BRILLIANT!
| kmsaum chapter 8 . 9/13/2009
I'm not sure there's much I can say that hasn't already been said...but WOOT and damn that was good and holy-crap-can't-wait-to-read-wolf-at-the-door yay! :P
DAMN good fic, as usual. You spoil us by constantly giving us gold!
| dudidam chapter 8 . 9/5/2009
Man, that was intense :D
I can't even say anything other than how much I like this story, and how much I also hope that would really write the sequel! :D
Thank you for sharing this story with us! :D
| Magelove chapter 8 . 9/4/2009
OMG that was awsome. I really like how you portrayed Braig, It's different. T.T Laguna's dead.

KANPUR: A 16-year-old girl, who was missing since Saturday, returned to her home on Wednesday and accused four people including a neighbouring youth of gangrape.
The victim’s mother had lodged a missing complaint at the Barra police station on Sunday.

Best Of :: Food & Drink
Farm-fresh sno cones, anybodyç Not really, but at most of South Florida's so-called farmers markets, even imported South American produce generally takes a back seat to booths offering processed fast foods, incense, jewelry, sunglasses, even massages. Where to go if you are seeking locally grown fresh produce that's never seen the inside of a cross-country refrigerated truckç When pioneering regional foods booster Alice Waters flew in to be honored at the South Beach Wine & Food Festival several years ago, she went straight from the airport to the South Florida Farmers Market, which takes over the Gardner's Market parking lot (off US 1) on Sunday mornings from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. And the sparkling, watermelon-size head of local frisée that she displayed at a seminar that afternoon was alone ample proof that at least one farmers market here is, if not Union Square, more than a flea market. Booths sell a full range of just-picked seasonal fruits and veggies corn so sweet and tender you'll think you're in New Jersey on the Fourth of July; tomatoes that are genuinely vine-ripe rather than supermarket-ripe; exotica like mini veggies and edible flowers plus local wildflower honey ($3 for eight ounces) and other farm products from Homestead/Redlands growers. Prices vary (three ears of corn for $1 at one booth, five ears for $3 at another), but there are some real bargains, like a four-pound basket of falling-off-the-vine-ripe tomatoes for $2.50. While the market runs only from January through April, one of its objectives is "creating a dialogue between consumers and growers." So dialogue, already, about where your favorite growers' goodies are available during the rest of the year.
Carb-cravers, head to Little Havana. Thats where youll find Bon-Bon Bakery, which has been cranking out the baked stuff in Miami for 40 years. Here they sell hot Cuban bread straight from the oven. They also sell a variety of other breads with quirky names only Cubans could have come up with. In most cases, the names refer to their shape -- patines, for example, which translates to roller skates, and bonetico, which means little bonnet. For bread devotees with a sweet tooth, heres a real treat: pan de gloria (glory bread). They got it right when they named this one: sweet bread made with eggs, milk, and sugar. Another sweet bread for sale is the kind used to make medianoches. Heres something else thats sweet: The bread here is dirt-cheap. Dig through your pocket for loose change and youll be able to walk out with the goodies, which cost between 25 cents and $1 each.
The five or so authentic Chinese places in town have been done to death. Just Google "Chinese" and "Miami" and the names come up again and again. Lung Gong is authentic. Kon Chau's got dim sum on lock. But which restaurant is most Miami? Jamaica Kitchen no doubt. Enter its nook of the Sunset West Shopping Center and find yourself in a whirl of homemade soups (made daily), patties, and a curry goat that will make you do a backflip. But something odd about the menu draws you to a totally different place: the pork and hamchoy (a preserved mustard green), the suey mein (a noodle soup featuring a crazy egg roll stuffed with pork and shrimp $10 per quart). Or perhaps you are drawn to the simple delights of the "Chinese roast chicken." Prices vary from lunch to dinner, fluctuating between about $6 to $9. Sidle up to the long counter; enjoy the friendly banter of the mom and pop owners and the fine island beats playing in the background. Or don't. They've been around for more than 24 years, don't advertise, and have no interest in being reviewed or winning this award. Jah bless them they know they're the bomb.
Burgers stuffed with foie gras; burgers made from ground Kobe beef (destroying the whole point of this already butter-tender meat); burgers made from, and topped with, all manner of horrifyingly healthy stuff; burgers like the $99 double-truffle creation at DB's Bistro in Manhattan.... The chichi burger thing is one of today's hottest food trends. And we're so, so over it. For a taste that'll take you back to simpler, greasier times, hit this burger joint for a six-pack of old-fashioned sliders. Royal Castle's burgers are two-bite burgers like the Northeast's White Castles, or the Deep South's Krystals, but homegrown. In 1965 there were 287 shops in the chain, founded by Miami's "Hamburger King" William Singer; they were found throughout Florida, Georgia, Lousiana, and Tennessee. The chain no longer exists, but there is still this one independently run survivor in town that serves up classic thin patties sandwiched in comforting cottony-soft buns. The burgers' protein component is, admittedly, minimal. The beef patties are mostly just little edible coasters to hold the fried onions, full of good griddle grease, that are the main flavor component of all sliders. And an honest all-American junk food flavor it is. The price: 80 cents (90 cents for a cheeseburger), a bargain even when you eat a half-dozen.
A great number of great restaurants debuted this past year, but we're talking about flippin' David Bouley here, one of the three or four most talented chefs working in America today. Evolution, his first foray outside of New York, instantly magnifies South Florida's blip on the national culinary radar. It's also a great place to have dinner (it's not open for lunch), starting with raisin-and-apple rolls, salt-sprinkled brioche, and other Old World breads baked on premises. An herb broth brimming with pristine shellfish; Long Island duckling breast laced with honey, butter, and fresh lavender flowers; and scallop-crusted black sea bass in an intensely flavored bouillabaisse foam constitute another three mouth-watering reasons why Evolution is more evolved than its high-priced haute competition. (How expensiveç If you have to ask, you probably can't afford to eat here.) Then there are the cheeses by Terrance Brennan Artisanal Connoisseurs, the nearly infinite wine list, smoothly professional service, and a stylish Art Deco decor. Need further convincingç A complimentary intermezzo of electrically fresh strawberry soup with fromage blanc sorbet is so brilliant it will make you cry.
Your average Yucatecan wouldn't know a taco from a meatball parmigiana sandwich, but don't tell that to the owners of this neat and petite 40-seat restaurant, which specializes in cuisine from the Mayan peninsula. After all, if they want to sneak some fetching Mexican and Tex-Mex items onto their menu, it would be wrong of us to spoil things with regional quibbling especially when among the non-Yucatecan delights are the most kickass tacos al pastor in town.The trio of corn tortillas come sumptuously plumped with nothing but pork, the smoky nubs of meat softly grilled and subtly sweetened with pineapples and onions. Refried beans, salsa verde, and guacamole are served on the side, which is downright generous for a plate costing just $8.49. Plus it leaves plenty of pesos for glasses of Dos XX on tap.

Selma City School Board nearly finalizedPublished 1:38am Wednesday, August 29, 2012
While one race remains in limbo, the make-up of the next Selma City School Board was all but finalized Tuesday as races for school board president, district 2 and district 3 all came to a close. Only district 1 remains unresolved as it now heads to a runoff.
Dr. Kirit Chapatwala and Cynthia Harris received the most votes in the race for district 1 and now must wait six weeks for that race to be ultimately decided.
Henry Hicks Sr., the incumbent board president, said after he won Tuesday that he felt great about the entire campaign. Hicks beat opponent Holland Powell by over 2,000 votes and Kimesha Alvarado by almost 3,000 votes.
“I told the truth and I try to be as genuine as I can. I don’t try to sugar coat anything,” Hicks said of why he thought the community responded successfully to his campaign. “I have a genuine love for the children and I think people can look at me and know its not for me — its for the kids.”
Hicks said he was tired and exhausted from campaigning but said he is ready to get to work on unifying the school board.
“I would like to work on getting more parents to the school board meetings and having more meetings that involve our parents,” Hicks said. “And give parents an opportunity to come to the board and have a dialogue, and everyone respect one another.”
Alvarado offered both her congratulations and support to Hicks following the election.
“Congratulations to Mr. Hicks and I’m going to support whoever wins, and I hope in these next four years of his administration that there will be a more unifying manner throughout our city,” Alvarado said, adding she might be back at the next election to run again, though this is her third campaign.
“I’m a social activist in the community and I just like to make sure people know the issues in each race and I think that I did my job,” she said. “I will be here — in what capacity I don’t know — but I’m one of those people that believes that everyone should run for office at least once in their life.”
District 1 will see a run off in six weeks after Chapatwala collected 848 votes and Cynthia Harris received 697 votes.
Chapatwala teared up when results were announced, saying only that, “people in Selma have faith in me and I have faith in God.” Chapatwala said he went door-to-door in his campaign.
His opponent Harris said she did the same.
“My supporters will be back out there in the streets we will be back knocking on your doors again and trying to get your support once again,” Harris said about preparing for the run off. She said campaigning was an easy task for her because of her motive behind it.
“Its just for the kids — knowing that this system needs people who really care about the kids made it that much easier to get out there and campaign,” Harris said. “I have a second chance to go ahead and win it outright and I’m still going to be out there pushing for the kids.”
In District 2 Brenda Randolph-Obomanu won over Velma Brewer by an 8 percent margin with 906 votes and District 3 Frank Chestnut earned victory over his opponent, Phyllis Moore Houser, by 200 votes.
“I tried to stay positive in all of this and I tried to make sure that I didn’t get down in the weeds and down in the dirt, and I just thought about how god put me in a position of leadership,” Chestnut said about seeing a victory despite being handed a guilty charge in a harassment case earlier in August. He said his goal on the board is to unify and not divide and he thinks the community elected him again because of his hard work.
“Voters saw how I worked hard to save Byrd School and save all of the community schools because they don’t need to be closed,” Chestnut said. “And they saw how I worked as a conservative to make sure that the money was there to build Selma High School.”

“When things aren’t adding up in your life, start subtracting.” —Anonymous
I first heard that quote, cited anonymously, roughly 12 years ago, just about the time I first got into minimalism. I saw it pop up somewhere on social media and immediately took note of it.
It’s interesting how often that happens. We are introduced to a new idea or approach to life and suddenly we start seeing signs of it everywhere. Like it’s been there all along, we just hadn’t noticed.
If you are new to minimalism and the benefits of owning less, I hope you are beginning to see signs of it all around you and are being encouraged that you are not alone in this journey. If you haven’t, websites like No Sidebar and Zen Habits are wonderful places to continue finding inspiration.
Back to the quote, there is fascinating research recently published in Nature, that makes a scientific argument for the importance of subtraction. The idea that our lives might benefit more from subtracting than adding is not a natural inclination that we have as human beings, but there is great opportunity in it.
You can find the entire study and methodology about the importance of choosing subtraction rather than addition here in Nature: “People Systematically Overlook Subtractive Changes”
Or I can summarize it for you.
Based on the study, humans “systematically default to searching for additive transformations, and consequently overlook subtractive transformations” when solving problems.
The study “investigated whether people are as likely to consider changes that subtract components from an object, idea or situation as they are to consider changes that add new components” and “across eight experiments, participants were less likely to identify advantageous subtractive changes when the task did not cue them to consider subtraction.”
In other words, when given a problem to solve, we are more likely to find a solution that adds components, rather than subtracting. Like I said, fascinating.
In one example, participants were given a Lego-housing structure with an out-of-balance roof and asked to stabilize the roof. The simplest solution in the scenario was to remove the one brick from the corner. But most respondents chose to add additional bricks to the remaining corners to stabilize the roof. It was a more difficult solution, yet most respondents chose it because we are predisposed to look for additive solutions rather than subtractive ones.
In fact, across eight different experiments, each time a majority of respondents (90%) chose solutions that required additive transformations, even though subtractive transformations would have been simpler and more efficient.
The researchers went on to explain why they believed this to be true. You can find some of their presumptions here: Adding is Favoured Over Subtracting in Problem Solving
Regardless of the cause(s), we would be wise to be aware of our tendency to consider additive solutions first because it plays out in our lives in both daily and major decisions. But constantly adding components to our lives is not without cost. In fact, this tendency left unchecked results in debt, exhaustion, burn-out, physical illness, addiction, and stress.
Our lives are limited and finite and cannot withstand constant addition. (tweet that)
There is power and truth in the introductory quote: When things aren’t adding up in your life, start subtracting.
Here are 8 areas in life to consider the benefits of subtracting rather than adding:
Too often, we think we can solve problems with a purchase. If we just had a bigger house, a nicer car, a newer phone, more fashionable clothing, more toys for the kids, equipment for our hobby, or that new planner, life would improve dramatically. But as I have discovered, often times the most desired items in life (peace, joy, meaning) are found in owning less.
We’re quick to add new habits to our daily ritual—especially when they become culturally popular or we hear about them for the first time on television or in a magazine. We think to ourselves, “If I could just adopt this new routine, every thing would work better in my life.” But often times, the key to a more meaningful life can be found in removing unhealthy habits rather than adding new ones.
It seems new diet fads and formulas arise almost as frequently as the sun. But almost all of them (at least those worth trying) contain the exact same formula: remove sugar, processed foods, and overeating (others remove dairy and/or carbs as well).
If you are trying to lose weight, try the simplest route: remove unhealthy foods rather than adding a new regimen to your diet. Subtracting unhealthy foods, rather than adding a new diet formula, is probably the simplest and most efficient solution.
The tendency to overlook subtractive transformations shows up all the time at work. We see it constantly, whether adding new meetings, processes, committees, ideas, or pursuing the shiny new product.
Not everyone gets to control their culture at work or place of employment, but control what you can and look for efficiencies and solutions by subtracting processes and/or meetings rather than constantly adding them.
Having a hard time making ends meet? The default position of most people is, “I need to make more money.” And in some scenarios, that might be true. But in other cases (dare I say most), the simplest and most practical solution to your money problem is to just spend less.
This is a perfect example of where we default to additive solutions rather than subtractive ones. In most cases, making more money will only result in spending more if you don’t begin to identify the root causes of overspending first. Only spending less can force those realizations upon you.
I always try to walk a fine line here. As I’ve written previously, I don’t subscribe to thinking that says: Remove every relationship from your life that doesn’t serve you. If every relationship in your life is solely there for you, that’s selfishness. There ought to be people in your life that you are serving without the expectation of being repaid for it.
That being said, there are times when it is appropriate to walk away from a relationship, rather than constantly looking for the next tool or process to “fix it.” This is a far broader topic than I can do justice here, but I think it’s appropriate to mention that a subtractive solution may indeed be the most appropriate one.
Confucius is credited for saying it first, “The man who chases two rabbits, catches neither.”
If you want to become more successful in accomplishing goals in life, limit the number you are pursuing. By reducing the number of goals that you are striving to accomplish, you will improve your focus and your success rate. Make a list of the things that you want to accomplish in your life and choose the two most important. When you finish one, add another from your list. This can be applied on a daily basis as well.
8. Social Obligations.
Too often we fall into the trap of thinking that we can make a bigger difference in the world by adding as many social obligations and opportunities as possible. But rarely is that the case.
The words we use are powerful. Keeping them simple, honest, and truthful (and knowing when to keep quiet) presents wonderful opportunity to use them best. To see what I mean, try this experiment.
Our natural tendency is to add, add, add to our lives. But sometimes, subtracting is the best and most efficient solution to the problems that we face. Start there.

Though the dental office agrees to just accept lower charges, the workplace still comes out ahead with a continual stream of recent sufferers from the dental plan, with completely no advertising costs required. These new patients cover a dental workplace’s fixed expenses and overhead, allowing patients who pay higher retail costs to ship pure profits. In addition, no declare forms are concerned with dental plans, which is a real time saver for everybody. And in contrast to dental insurance, the dental workplace is paid at time of service, as an alternative of getting to wait a number of months for the insurance firm to send a check.
Dental implants are a form of treatment achieved to switch a misplaced tooth root. It’s basically an artificial tooth that the dentist places in your jaw to hold a bridge or crown alternative.

2016 has proven that wireless earbuds have become mainstream. To prove this, even Apple is allegedly jumping on the wireless earbuds bandwagon with the iPhone 7. Judging by reviews from Wired, Gizmodo, and Mashable, you would think that Jaybird finally hit the sweet spot. However, after using the Wireless Freedom for a week, I can safely say that even though these $200 wireless earbuds are the best ones available, they still leave something to be desired.
The Wireless Freedom are small and come with several different type of ear tips to make sure you find the ultimate fit. There is a wire that holds them together and fits behind your neck. Unfortunately, you can still feel the wire, especially after heavy exercise activities. The buds aren't guaranteed to stay in your ears no matter how perfect of a fit they seem at first. Still, the fit of the Wireless Freedom is better than anything else on the market, but that's not saying much.
The most important thing is the sound and, for the most part, the Jaybird Freedom delivers. You'll get better sound quality with the Sennheiser M2 Wireless, the Bowers & Wilkins P5 Wireless, or even the brand new Bose QC 35 Wireless. However, you'll also end up paying up to $150 to $200 more. The Freedom buds offer a balanced sound with noticeable bass. At times, you'll wish there could be more, but you'll appreciate the sound for what it is. As with all earbuds, the more they hang outside your ear canals, the more tinny they will sound.
Jaybird claims you'll get four hours of battery life without the charging clip, which adds weight to the buds and gives you a couple more hours of use. I actually was able to get almost five hours without the clip and almost eight hours with the clip. Still, that's not enough. You want to use your Bluetooth headphones without having to worry about charging them during the day and you can't with the Jaybird Freedom buds. The charging clip is a great idea, but it adds weight to the buds that, in the first place, feel a little heavy on your ears.
I have to give credit to Jaybird for the MySound app, which customizes your listening experience in a way that the app for the Parrot Zik 3 doesn't. You'll definitely want to turn off your native equalizer and use the one in Jaybird's app instead. The app came in most handy when listening to the BPM EDM channel on Sirius XM, an app that doesn't have its own native equalizer.
I also found that there were connection troubles at times. While using the earbuds with the iPhone, the connection would sometimes go out -- something that never happened when using the buds with the Samsung Galaxy S7. Turning off the buds and turning them back on easily fixed the problem. It could just be a software issue, and, truthfully, it wasn't a huge disability to the Freedom earbuds.
The voice quality for calls was okay, but people on the other end definitely asked me to repeat myself a couple times -- and this was from being at home rather than a noisy environment such as the gym. Even though the Freedom earbuds don't have active noise cancellation, they block enough noise where you can hear the person you're talking to decently when in a somewhat noisy environment.
The Jaybird Freedom earbuds are made for those who work out, and it was a pleasure working out without having to worry about positioning my headphones in a different position on my head so they wouldn't fall off. They stick in your ears well, for the most part. As a matter of fact, the Jaybird Freedom buds are so good for working out that you'll wish other aspects were improved so you can make them your go-to listening Bluetooth audio device. However, once you get out of the gym, you'll probably want to use wireless headphones from Bose, Sennheiser, or Bowers & Wilkins for the rest of the day.

Carington's theory is compatible with interpreting psi-phenomena in terms of either causal or cognitive relations on the lines described earlier. It suggests however a possibility not previously mentioned, namely that some of the constituents of different minds are not merely alike, but are numerically identical. This notion provides one, possibly intelligible, answer to the question -- how can your associating K and O tend to make me think of O when I think of K? This is one way of interpreting "common unconscious," and it has been entertained by some psychical researchers. I feel strongly inclined to dismiss this notion as nonsensical; but I do not think we are entitled to do this merely because our verbal conventions debar us from speaking of "two minds owning the same experience." (We may in any case be forced to revise this convention, if, as Russell has suggested, physiologists learn to make a nerve connecting my brain to your aching tooth.) I mention this notion to illustrate how psychical researchers are driven to entertain possibilities which are so shocking to common-sense that many people conclude that they belong to the lunatic fringe. I feel confident that philosophers will not subscribe to this verdict, if they attend to the facts which psychical researchers are trying to explain and to the scientific postulates which seem to be violated.
Regarding the question which is the subject of this symposium, I must leave it to you to decide whether the discussion of the issues I have raised is a proper and important task for philosophers. We could leave such tasks to be performed by scientists, but, whether or not science would suffer, philosophy would surely lose by this policy.

A new Swedish musical about the life of reclusive Swedish-born film legend Greta Garbo will open in Stockholm in September, Swedish news agency TT reported.
"Garbo the Musical" will feature new material about the star recently released by her relatives in the United States and music inspired by pop star Celine Dion, producer Mikael Hellqvist told the agency.
"The focus in the musical will be Garbo's adult life as a film star, as well as her private life and life after her career," Hellqvist said.
The show will open at Stockholm's Oscar Theatre in September, and Hellqvist said he hoped the show would run in London and on Broadway in 2005, when Garbo would have turned 100.
He said the production team had signed an agreement with Garbo's closest relatives in the United States giving them access to facts about the actress' life, historical elements and a large private collection of photos from people who knew and lived with her.
Composer Jim Steinman, who has worked together with pop composer Andrew Lloyd Webber and Dion, will write the music for the show, while Scott Faris, who has directed Chicago, Les Miserables and Cabaret, will direct.
Gunilla Backman, a Swede currently starring in the musical Chess in Copenhagen, is slated to play the title role after beating out 700 other women for the part.
Garbo was born Greta Gustafsson in 1905 in the working-class Soeder district of Stockholm, where she is buried. She worked as a hair-washer in a beauty salon and an elevator girl in a Stockholm department store before studying theater at Sweden's royal theater, Dramaten.
She moved to the United States in 1923 and became a US citizen in 1951.
Garbo initially worked in silent films, then moved on to "talkies" such as "Mata Hari," "Ninotchka," and "Grand Hotel."
After 1975 she refused to return to Sweden, saying she feared being pestered
by the press, and died a recluse in 1990 in New York.

Spot Runner called us this morning to say it is laying off 115 employees, or about 30 percent of its workforce. The Los Angeles-based company is refocusing its business on being a technology platform for video advertising — both on TV and online — and cutting off its roots in local advertising, where it started on TV and moved online.
Spot Runner CEO Nick Grouf attributed the cuts to the downturned economy. “We will see small businesses cut more deeply into advertising budgets than Fortune 500 businesses,” he said. As a result, Spot Runner will be consolidating Weblistic, an online marketing services firm for local businesses, that it acquired in May, and “exploring alternatives for that business.” Other layoffs concern a general “tightening up” around the company.
Grouf said Spot Runner still has “significant cash in the bank” from its $51 million raise earlier this year. He would not disclose the company’s revenue but said it was seeing “solid growth” and that the cuts were preemptive in light of new economic circumstances.
Spot Runner laid off 50 employees earlier this summer as part of a strategic shift from local businesses to national businesses — the part of the company led by much-touted Executive VP Joanne Bradford, a hire from Microsoft. (Since those layoffs, Bradford left the company for Yahoo — after only six months at Spot Runner.) Though the rhetoric around these recent moves — shifting to national from local — seems the same, Grouf described today’s events as “a different situation.” The earlier move was more about “trying to change the skillset” by laying off some employees and hiring new ones, he said.
To its credit, TechCrunch had written last week that layoffs might happen at Spot Runner — but these days, that seems to be a safe bet at most any online video company.
