UPDATED: Starwood buys first three Orlando LIHTC apt complexes in $600M portfolio deal
By Bob Moser
GrowthSpotter |
| UPDATED: January 12, 2018 5:20 PM
A pool-area view of the Magnolia Pointe apartments in Orlando, acquired by Starwood Property Trust. (AGPM)
Affiliates of Starwood Property Trust (SPT) paid nearly $44.2 million in late December for a trio of low-income apartment communities in Orlando, part of a $600 million portfolio deal for 28 properties in Florida.
One of the largest commercial property and mortgage REITs in the country, SPT announced on Jan. 4 that it would be acquiring the portfolio of LIHTC properties totaling 6,185 units.
Described as an off-market deal in an SEC filing, Starwood did not name the sellers or locations, but said the portfolio was 99 percent leased, and mainly located in Orlando with smaller footprints in West Palm Beach, Tampa and Miami.
Local developer plans 225 senior & family affordable apts west of fairgrounds
Learn which two local companies came together to form a new affordable rental housing developer, and what land they're eyeing on W. Colonial Drive.
The first of two sales to register on Thursday was a $23.945 million purchase of the 256-unit Buena Vista Place apartments in Windermere.
Located at 8825 Buena Place, the 46.73-acre property lies directly north of the Walt Disney World entrance at Center Drive, and features 11 three-story apartment buildings that date to 1999. The sale reflects a per-unit value of $93,535.
The seller of Buena Vista Place was Reams Road LP, an affiliate of Orlando-based investment/management firm AGPM, which previously paid $611,100 for the land in 1998 prior to construction.
UPDATE: STP also purchased Phase 2 of Buena Vista Place, which has 84 units, for $8 million. That deed posted on Friday.
Another SPT affiliate paid nearly $12.25 million for the 168-unit Magnolia Pointe apartments in Orlando, an affordable housing complex for seniors age 55 or older.
Located at 1701 Mercy Dr., the 17.38-acre property lies just west of College Park, and features eight three-story apartment buildings dating to 1999. The per-unit value was $72,914.
The seller was Magnolia Pointe Ltd., another affiliate of Banyan Realty Advisors and AGPM.
All three sales closed on Dec. 28, but were recorded late this week in Orange County.
The buyers sourced a $116.745 million loan from Wells Fargo Bank for the entire 28-property portfolio buy, of which $8.817 million was allocated to Magnolia Pointe and $17.213 million to Buena Vista Place.
Noted at the end of that mortgage were descriptions of six other property acquisitions that were part of the overall multifamily note.
Officials with Starwood did not respond to requests for comment this week. The company said in its SEC filing that the full portfolio purchase would close in phases, due to the timing of regulatory approvals and assumption of in-place financing.
The first phase, comprising 1,740 units, closed in late December. SPT expected the remaining phases to close by the end of the second quarter.

LOS ANGELES – Is it crazy to suggest that Olympic competition could ever be only an athlete's second-biggest thrill, or even third?
Eddy Alvarez' Sunday afternoon at Dodger Stadium might test the theory.
To now, his notoriety is mainly that as a dual silver medalist, earning a team silver as a speed skater in the 5,000-meter relay in the 2014 Winter Olympics and another with the U.S. baseball team at the pandemic-delayed Tokyo Games last summer. But Sunday, before a full house in a big early season series, may have at least caught both of those experiences on the excitement meter.
Alvarez, called up Friday and making his first Dodger start at third base, made a diving stop and throw in the fourth inning to rob Eduardo Escobar of a hit. But that was topped in the ninth inning, when he ripped a single to center – 101.4 mph exit velocity – on the first pitch to him from Seth Lugo to score Chris Taylor with the tying run with one out left to the Dodgers.
"They were kind of beating me with fastballs all day, so I knew I wanted to be aggressive first pitch because they were throwing a lot of first-pitch strikes to me," Alvarez said. "So I just put a good enough swing on it, got it by (shortstop Francisco Lindor) and, you know, gave our team the best chance.
"It's incredible. I'm gonna cherish this forever."
That hit, and that ninth-inning rally, was the high point in what was an excruciating and ultimately unfulfilling afternoon for the Dodgers. The Mets scored three in the eighth to wipe out a 2-1 lead that had been created by Trea Turner's two-run homer in the first. New York scored in the 10th when J.D. Davis doubled home ghost runner Pete Alonso, and the Dodgers left their ghost runner on third in the bottom of the inning to give the Mets a 5-4 victory and a split of this clash of the National League titans.
This series may have been a measuring stick, with the Mets demonstrating they can go toe-to-toe with the Dodgers and, just maybe, Steve Cohen's $287.9 million 40-man payroll (according to Cot's Contracts) goes just a teensy, weensy bit further than Guggenheim Baseball's $302.3 million.
It could also be a preview of a postseason series over which TV executives would be salivating, the nation's two major markets creating some fun and entertaining if gut-grinding moments.

That's in the future. In the present, Alvarez had his first big-time moment as a Dodger, with family and friends on-site to witness it. And, well, how does it stack up against competing with worldwide attention on you?
"Ooh, good question," he said.
"You know, every game feels like it's the Olympics here, so it's very similar. We had 30,000 fans screaming in a nice arena. And you know, when you put 60-70,000 out in the stands here, it kind of feels like the same energy. Plus, just the atmosphere and the love that the city has for this team. It's incredible to play in front of."
Actually, it was only 48,672 Sunday afternoon. But when Dodger fans get going, it can sound like 70,000.
Alvarez was recalled from Oklahoma City Friday, where he'd been stinging the ball in the hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League: A .304 batting average, eight doubles, four triples, five homers and 22 RBI. He had a torrid May with seven doubles, two triples, two homers, 15 RBI and a .350/.464/.563 slash line.
Prior to this his major league success had been limited, with a .186 average in 37 games over the 2020 and '21 seasons with the Marlins. He'd been kicking around the minors since 2014, most of that time in the White Sox organization, following his first Olympic experience.
The Dodgers signed him as a minor league free agent last November, and he had the benefit of some extra personal attention at Camelback Ranch.
"That was part of the deal," he recalled. "I flew out to Arizona, worked with Will Rhymes (the Dodgers' director of player development) and a lot of the hitting coaches over there and just kind of revamped my swing. I've always been a good bat-to-ball kind of guy, (but) just haven't seen the consistency in the big leagues. And now I'm trying. I'm going to do my best to be as consistent as possible."
Trea Turner had seen him from the other side of the field when he was with Washington and Alvarez with Miami, and knew of him from friends in the White Sox organization.
"But spring training, I was definitely really impressed by him," Turner said. "He played really well in spring training, and then you look at the scoreboard and they had his numbers from Triple-A right up there. He's hitting really good, and then he comes up here and does the same thing, plays good defense, gets some knocks and just puts good at-bats together."
And, noted manager Dave Roberts, "the moment is never going to be too big for him, obviously, given his history. So you don't worry about that. Just seizing an opportunity."
Alvarez pinch-hit Saturday night and grounded out. He struck out swinging in his first at-bat Sunday in the second against Trevor Williams, but led off the fifth with a single, and that got his cheering section in the ballpark excited.
"My sister, my brother-in-law, my niece, my parents, my wife, my son," he said. "And then I just saw the text messages from family and friends doing watch parties. It's been incredible, the support I've had."
There are no promises here, of course, with a stacked lineup and the expectations that come with it. But at least everyone else in that dugout can be sure he won't shrink from the moment.
"Just to crack this roster and to be a little piece of the algorithm is incredible," he said. "So I'm going to count my blessings and I'm going to do what I can."

New Zealand Police has extended its contract with Dimension Data to provide its communication channels.
The partnership successfully ensures the organisation's key communications infrastructure is well-managed, highly available at all times, and delivered under a tight operating cost model, says Michael Perring, New Zealand Police network operations manager.

The New Zealand Police manages more than 770,000 emergency calls a year. It is responsible for providing policing services 24 hours a day, seven days a week to prevent crime and crashes.

As part of the contract, Dimension Data provides New Zealand Police with all of the physical phones, the network they run on and the ongoing support and management. Dimension Data also ensures the phone system is integrated with other communications channels including email.
Dimension Data New Zealand CEO Jo Healey says the company is is extremely proud to support the New Zealand Police in their mission-critical unified communications infrastructure. "The work we do with New Zealand Police is continuing to deliver excellent results."

Bathurst Mothers Want Province to Reject Request for Funding from Dream Street Pictures
Three Bathurst mothers whose sons were killed in a tragic 15 passenger van collision two years ago are vowing to put up a fight if Dream Street Pictures of Moncton gets funding from Film NB to produce a film about the Bathurst tragedy.
Isabelle Hains, Marcella Kelly and Ana Acevedo say commercial film producers in New Brunswick have access to funding from Film NB, which offers a variety of incentives up to $250,000 or more.
"We have been told that Film NB is the 'only game in town' when it comes to funding film in New Brunswick," says Isabelle Hains, whose 17 year-old son Daniel was killed along with six other members of the Bathurst High School Phantoms basketball team. "And we're letting it be known that we will do everything in our power to prevent Film NB from funding this project."
Marcella Kelly's 15 year-old son Nikki was also killed in the Bathurst tragedy. She says it would be an "insult to the memory of her son" if the province of New Brunswick gives Dream Street $250,000 while citing "finances" as the reason for refusing to implement last May's Coroners Jury recommendation to have unionized, Class 2 Drivers behind the wheel of 21 passenger vehicles used by the Department of Education.
"There are only 14 MFAVs in the provincial fleet," says Ana Acevedo, whose 17 year-old son Javier was killed in the collision. "How many unionized, Class 2 bus drivers could $250,000 put behind the wheels of one of these vehicles that are driving children to extra-curricular events? If the province funds this film, then we will know where its priorities are, and it's not in the safety of children," Acevedo said.
The mothers say they had to fight for $5000 worth of winter tires to put on the 21 passenger MFAVs in the provincial fleet and now the province could potentially give $250,000 to Dream Street Pictures through Film NB.
"The province says it doesn't have money for children's safety but when it comes to funding films, they seem to have plenty," said Isabelle Hains.
The three mothers have known since February that Dream Street Pictures has been planning a film about the Bathurst High School Phantoms basketball team and its successful run for the Double A Provincial Basketball championship last year. All three contacted Tim Hogan, producer with Dream Street, and Rick LeGuerrier, to voice their objections but the producers seemed unmoved by their concerns.
"They told us that the movie will not focus on the tragedy or the deaths of their sons," says Marcella Kelly, "But there is no story without the tragedy and we do not want our sons deaths being exploited for profit by a television producer," she said.
"It would be one thing if the profits were going to promote road safety or to pay for Class 2 Drivers," says Isabelle Hains. "But we know that there will be no benefit for anyone in this film except Dream Street and we intend to make sure that the province does not give them one red cent."

When it comes to clothes, I am NOT an online shopper. I find it very difficult to find clothes that fit properly and flatter my size 16 shape, and I hate the idea of having to ship back an item of clothing that I bought online when I find that it doesn't fit or flatter.
Having babies has changed my shape from what it was before and I'm no longer entirely sure what looks good or fits me.
I have no time to comb the high street to find nice clothes.
These two problems are compounded by the fact that much of what is available on the high street caters to women who are a size 12 or less. If I pop into New Look or Dorothy Perkins, size 16 is usually the largest size I can find on the rack. And then it still won't necessarily fit. It will either still be too tight, or it will just be a massive shapeless tent.
Many high street stores just have a single template for an item of clothing. To make the item a bigger size, they just scale it up. This does not take into account that the proportions and shape of a size 16 woman are very different from that of a size 8 woman.
The thing I like best about them is their "fit philosophy". They adjust the design features of the clothes individually for each size in order to make sure they fit properly. This avoids what I like to call the "tent effect" of high street fashion – in which clothes that might have looked attractive on a size 10 look like a shapeless tent on a size 16.
Celuu sent me a top of my choice to try out. They have a brilliant size guide on their site in which you can use your body measurements to find out the right size for you. However, I didn't use it. I just went for my usual size 16 to see how that would compare to the size 16 clothes I'd been trying in high street shops recently (and let's just say I came away empty-handed and disappointed from all of those trips).
Getting photobombed by my 5yo while trying to selfie my outfit for the #luckythingsmeetup meetup today, at the beautiful Folly Bar by @drakeandmorgan. The talk is about being confident in your style and I'm so excited that I can wear my new top that just arrived from @celuuofficial. I'm amazed how it's cut perfectly for my size 16 shape, straight out of the box.
It fit effortlessly and made me feel really confident and fashionable. The fabric had a nice feel to it and didn't get creased while I was wearing it – very important as I only iron for weddings, funerals and job interviews.
Like any online shop, if something doesn't fit or you don't like it when you've received it, you can return the item free within 14 days. But as I said before, that seems like so much of a faff. However, Celuu's sizing method along with some great photography on the clothing product pages has reduced that risk for me. I was so pleased that the top looked just like I imagined it would after having seen it on the model on the product's page. There was no photographic trickery or things surreptitiously pinned to sit nicer, the way that high street stores sometimes do on their mannequins.
I also love that the store focuses on sizes 12–22. It seems like there are plenty of stores out there catering for women who are smaller than a size 12, so why shouldn't there be a shop that focuses on the rest of us? This brand allows us to love the way we look – and feel confident just the way we are – instead of thinking we need to slim down in order to wear beautiful clothes.
Celuu might just have made an online clothing shopper out of me! If you want to give it a go, you can get 10% off your order by entering the code "comp10" at checkout.
To celebrate the launch of their new Spring/Summer range, Celuu are giving one lucky person the chance to win a £1000 wardrobe upgrade! The winner will get to choose a range of clothing from the website up to this incredible amount and really make this season one to remember. Entrance to this exclusive competition is easy: just sign up on Celuu's competition page, and you will be in with a shot of winning this fabulous prize. Hurry though – the competition closes on the 8th May. Good Luck!
Disclosure: I received an item of my choice to keep from Celuu's website in exchange for an honest review and sharing their competition details.
Oh I need to check them out! Like you, I don't have time (or the energy, to be honest) to go shopping around and just get frustrated. My shape has changed so much and retailers vary so much in their sizes that I don't even know what size I am anymore. Shopping has become a nightmare! I'll definitely be entering their competition! Thank you so much for sharing and I'm glad you found an item of clothing and a brand you're truly happy with. Thanks so much for linking up at #KCACOLS. Hope to see you again next time!
I hate trying clothes so an online store with good fit sounds brilliant to me!
PS. I try to avoid ironing too!
I am heading over to their site now. I love clothes now that have a stretch and a really good fit to them. I have really gone off anything tight or uncomfortable…life's too short:) I'm going to enter the competition too, thats a very good prize.
Have they gone into administration???
Oh sadly they might have done! This post is about a year old… Thanks for the heads up.


A huge thank you to Sophie for sharing these beautiful images capturing their special day. Our stunning bride wearing W226 from True Bride, this striking mermaid style bridal gown will turn heads with it's strapless sweetheart bodice and fishtail shaped skirt. This figure flattering dress is encrusted with a decadent 'Art Deco' inspired beaded design. Sophie and her beloved husband got married on Friday 13th July, at the chic boutique hotel Soughton Hall hotel in Chester.

New Dawn, New Day, New Hope By Howard Wheeldon, FRAeS, Wheeldon Strategic Advisory Ltd.
July 25, 2019 Julian Nettlefold
With a new record in respect of UK air temperature likely to occur today and in the 26 years of writing commentary as a part of what I do professionally, my never having received so many emails asking for my view on political events in the UK yesterday or suggesting that they were looking forward to receiving my next commentary, there is no shortage of things to write about. Suffice to say patience is required and my views on UK political events this week in 'New Dawn, New Day, New Hope (2) will follow when Prime Minister Boris Johnson has completed the team of ministerial announcements. For today, I will comment on two other issues – the agreed takeover of COBHAM by Advent International and separately, on the outgoing Chief of the Air Staff, Air Chief Marshal Sir Stephen Hillier.
Earlier this morning the UK defence company Cobham announced that it had agreed a $4 billion takeover from the US buyout group Advent International – a company that I would mention is also the owner of former UK engineering and now electronics company Laird Group and the bearing distributor Brammer.
At 165p per share and representing, as it does, a premium of 34.4% on Cobham's 123p closing price last evening (and 50.3% premium to the average price of the shares over the past three months) this is an excellent deal for Cobham shareholders.
Unlike the unfortunate hostile takeover last year of GKN by Melrose that occurred last year and that I very fully and loudly opposed, the proposed agreed takeover of Cobham by Advent International should be seen as marriage. This is, in my view, a very good deal – one that will not only benefit Cobham shareholders but importantly, Cobham employees and the UK as a whole.
On the latter subject, I was somewhat appalled this morning to observe an unnecessary tweet from the CEO of the aerospace, defence and security trade association ADS. In the tweet Mr. Paul Everitt suggests that "as a major industrial asset [referring to Cobham], the new [UK] government should secure appropriate commitments from its buyers". What nonsense this is – remarks such as these not only have no place but are in this case completely unnecessary. I fear that Mr. Everitt should better remember his place meaning that the job of a trade association is to support member companies, of which Cobham is one, rather than going against them.
So, I see this agreed takeover proposal as a marriage as opposed to a divorce. Commitment to retain the UK and US Head Office structure are in place and it is important to note that Cobham is already a very large player in the US defence industry.
While no one could argue that Cobham shareholders were, particularly during the period 2014 to 2017 treated quite disgracefully by one of the worst management teams that I have ever had the misfortune to come across, it is pleasing for me to be able to say that following their demise the current management team under David Lockwood have, over the past two years, rebuilt the company from the bottom up.
Under David Lockwood's guidance Cobham is not just back to health but, as the interim results published today provide more than a sufficient hint, prospering. I am sure that under Advent's ownership Cobham will continue to prosper and grow both in the UK, US, and internationally.
Air Chief Marshal Sir Stephen Hillier
My second point today is an opportunity to thank the outgoing Chief of the Air Staff, Air Chief Marshal Sir Stephen Hillier for the tremendous job of work that he has done over the past three years as CAS. The formal handover to his successor, Air Chief Marshal Mike Wigston, will I believe takes place tomorrow. Under Sir Stephen, the Royal Air Force has been strengthened not only in respect of equipment but also in respect of its people. ACM Wigston will tomorrow inherit a more invested and fit for purpose air force than the outgoing CAS had done three years ago and those of us who observe, comment and support the Royal Air Force or who serve are grateful for what ACM Sir Stephen Hillier has achieved. More of course still needs to be done and probably always will and we live in hope that Government is finally getting the message that spending on defence needs to rise.
When Sir Stephen was about to take over as CAS three years ago, I recall answering a straightforward question from him in respect of what I thought his priorities as CAS should be. My answer was simply – your people who I suggested felt demotivated and demoralised in the wake of the significant defence cut backs that had occurred since 2010. Whilst there are always issues left to resolve I can without any doubt say that those serving in the Royal Air Force today no longer feel as they did three years ago.
Thank you, Sir Stephen for what you have done and also for the superb range of events in respect of 'RAF 100' that you and your brilliant team steered through in 2018 on your watch. We wish you and Lady Elaine well in whatever you might eventually do.

Q: Registering an instance as 'singleton' bean at application startup I am playing around with Spring Boot and I am trying to construct an instance of ServiceImpl to be resolved when a Service is required. Currently I am annotating the implementation as @Component but this does not give me the chance to construct the instance as I want.
The ServiceImpl should be constructed with a String containing a path to a file on disk. I would like to do this in the main method of the @SpringBootApplication class of the application.
Maybe it's just me coming from a long .NET background where we usually setup the IoC container like:
Service service = new Service("C:\\data.bin");
container.RegisterSingleton<IService>(service); // now whoever asks for a IService will receive this precise instance

Does this make sense in Spring world?
LE: I am well aware of the GoF singleton definition (i.e. prevent everyone else from creating instances of the class) - I am not targeting this.

A: In the same file that you have @SpringBootApplication do:
@Bean
public IService service() {
    return new Service("C:\\data.bin");
}

Spring should autowire everything up for you.  It should be a singleton by default (http://docs.spring.io/spring-framework/docs/current/spring-framework-reference/html/beans.html#beans-factory-scopes).
Edit 1: You should also annotate your Service implementation with @Service instead of @Component (see: What's the difference between @Component, @Repository & @Service annotations in Spring?).
Edit 2: You also don't necessarily have to put the @Bean method in the class that has @SpringBootApplication.  You can put it in any class that has the @Configuration annotation.

A: As described in the comment this can be done by storing your location details on a configuration file and then inject them upon Spring Bean initialization.
Assuming your application.properties looks like this:
my.sample.config.A=somelocationA
my.sample.config.B=somelocationB
my.sample.config.C=somelocationC
my.sample.config.D.one=somelocationD1
my.sample.config.D.two=somelocationD2

Below I'm demo-ing 4 ways to do achieve this:
1.By injecting your property directly on the Bean method creation:
@Bean
public A myBeanA(@Value("${my.sample.config.A}") String myprop) {
    System.out.println("from bean A with " + myprop);
    return new A(myprop);
}

2.By injecting the property on a Config-wide variable and use that in your Bean method creation:
@Value("${my.sample.config.B}")
private String mylocationB;
//..
@Bean
public B myBeanB() {
    System.out.println("from bean B with " + mylocationB);
    return new B(mylocationB);
}

3.By injecting the whole environment in the Config and then hand-pick the property needed:
@Autowired
private Environment env;
//..
    @Bean
    public C myBeanC() {
    String locationC = env.getProperty("my.sample.config.C");
    System.out.println("from bean C with " + locationC);
    return new C(locationC);
}

4.This is a Spring Boot exclusive way. You can use Type-safe Configuration Properties annotating with @ConfigurationProperties directly your bean defining a prefix-namespace and all params from that point onwards will be auto-mapped to the properties defined in that bean!
@ConfigurationProperties(prefix = "my.sample.config.D")
@Component
class D {
    private String one;
    private String two;

    public String getOne() { return one; }

    public void setOne(String one) {
        System.out.println("from bean D with " + one);
        this.one = one;
    }
    public String getTwo() { return two; }

    public void setTwo(String two) {
        System.out.println("from bean D with " + two);
        this.two = two;
    }
}

Below the overall one-file code in one piece:
package com.example;

import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Value;
import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.context.properties.ConfigurationProperties;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
import org.springframework.core.env.Environment;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Component;

@SpringBootApplication
public class DemoApplication {

    @Autowired
    private Environment env;

    @Value("${my.sample.config.B}")
    private String mylocationB;

    @Bean
    public A myBeanA(@Value("${my.sample.config.A}") String myprop) {
        System.out.println("from bean A with " + myprop);
        return new A(myprop);
    }

    @Bean
    public B myBeanB() {
        System.out.println("from bean B with " + mylocationB);
        return new B(mylocationB);
    }

    @Bean
    public C myBeanC() {
        String locationC = env.getProperty("my.sample.config.C");
        System.out.println("from bean C with " + locationC);
        return new C(locationC);
    }

    @ConfigurationProperties(prefix = "my.sample.config.D")
    @Component
    class D {
        private String one;
        private String two;

        public String getOne() { return one; }

        public void setOne(String one) {
            System.out.println("from bean D with " + one);
            this.one = one;
        }
        public String getTwo() { return two; }

        public void setTwo(String two) {
            System.out.println("from bean D with " + two);
            this.two = two;
        }
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(DemoApplication.class, args);
    }

    class A {
        private final String location;
        public A(String location) { this.location = location; }
    }

    class B {
        private final String location;
        public B(String location) { this.location = location; }
    }

    class C {
        private final String location;
        public C(String location) { this.location = location; }
    }

}

Q: Accessing data from a .gdb file with SQL Server Integration Services (2005 or 2008) I have number of files in .gdb format, which I believe is associated with Borland interbase.  Does anyone know how I would go about extracting data from the using SSIS (2005 or 2008)?
Any help very much appreciated.
Ed.

A: The simplest solution would probably be to find an ODBC or OLEDB driver for Borland Interbase files, connect it to your files, then use it as a data source in SSIS.
There appear to be several ODBC drivers for Borland Interbase. This one is free. This one isn't.
An OLEDB driver (not free, although a free trial is available) can be found here.

Sagebrush Coffee is a small roastery with a lot of help. What's missing from this list are countless hours of friends giving advice and support and buying those bags of coffee when we weren't really a business but thought we were. This business is run by the people below, but it exists because of the selfless contribution of many unnamed friends and family members that just keep giving of their time to help us grow.
Jonathan | Sarah | Sydney | Zoë
Jonathan Kellso
Media Development / Backup Roaster
Jonathan, Matt's son, has been a part of Sagebrush since the beginning. He has always been very driven creatively, dedicating the majority of his time to musical production, graphic design, photography, fashion design, branding identity development, digital art, painting, and so much more. He has applied these skills towards developing his own clothing brand (Ninth&J) and is working towards a presence in the local Phoenix music scene under the moniker "Candy Soup."
Jonathan has honed in his craft for Sagebrush's benefit. He is the head of media development and is responsible for both Sagebrush and Hackberry's branding, packaging (labels, bags, notecards, etc.), videography, and a portion of their photography and web development. On a Friday night, you can catch Jonathan working with friends producing funny videos and making music.
If you want to see some more of his work, check out these instagrams!
@candysoup.mp3
@ninthandj
@Jercho1
Shop Manager / Head Roaster
Sarah joined the team in October of 2019 as our Production Lead is now our Head Roaster as well. She was born in Torrance California, but moved to the valley when she was 3. She lives in Gilbert and loves it. She has worked with kids in some capacity for many years and is also a certified nail technician. Coffee is a constant companion and drinking it is one of her favorite hobbies. Now getting to work for a coffee roasting company, has all her dreams coming true. If she isn't drinking coffee, she loves to spend time with her friends, read books or do anything that involves Disney.
Sydney Stones
Tea Production Lead
Sydney joined the Sagebrush team at the beginning of 2019 and now serves as tea production lead. She and Jonathan had classes throughout high school, so when Matt asked for any recommendations for help in the shop, she was the first person that he recommended. She has been a tremendous help and will do whatever is needed with diligence and a smile on her face. We're so proud of her accomplishments on the soccer field. In fact, she will be going to Ferris State University in Big Rapids, Michigan on a soccer scholarship and intends to major in nursing. She'll be a couple of hours from where most of Matt's family is from, so it's a very cool connection, but we'll hate to see her go. In her free time she enjoys bass fishing and hiking.
Zoë Maiden
Office Manager (from home)
Zoë joined the Sagebrush team in 2016 as our first official employee. She started as the lead packager and shop manager, but really she just did everything while I went to work my day job. As the business grew, so did that job and we were scared to death when she took a maternity leave in 2019. After having her first child in 2019, she began working from home as our office manager and is doing a great job behind the scenes. Before working at Sagebrush, Zoë received her bachelor's in dance education and spent most of her time performing and teaching. She is an Arizona Native and currently resides in Gilbert with her husband Seth, baby boy Zander, and her dog Winston. When she's not completing Sagebrush tasks, Zoë enjoys discovering new restaurants and coffee shops, traveling, interior design, and spending quality time with family and friends.

Microsoft Tests Smartphone with Asia Suppliers
Microsoft already has a BFF in the smartphone space in Nokia (plus other partners willing to dance to the tune of Microsoft's Windows Phone platform), but don't rule out the possibility of the Redmond outfit launching its own branded smartphone. It's a strategy that's been working for both Apple and Google, and Microsoft could be next.
According to a report in The Wall Street Journal, Microsoft is in cahoots with overseas component suppliers to test its own smartphone design. That doesn't necessarily mean Microsoft will necessarily take the next step into mass production, but the idea is at least on the company's radar.
As you can imagine, details are pretty sparse on the actual design, though one of WSJ's anonymous sources said the screen currently being tested measures between 4 inches and 5 inches. For the sake of comparison, the two most popular smartphones on the planet, Apple's iPhone 5 and Samsung's Galaxy S III, feature 4-inch and 4.8-inch displays, respectively.
In a recent interview, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer voiced confidence in heading into the holiday shopping season with Nokia, Samsung, and HTC as partners in the smartphone space, but he didn't totally rule out the possibility of a Microsoft branded phone. Instead, he dodged the topic.
"Whether we had a plan to do something different or we didn't have a plan I wouldn't comment in any dimension," Ballmer said.

A woman's hair is linked to her identity, so when hormonal hair loss strikes and it starts to thin and fall out, it can cause substantial psychological distress.
While hair loss used to be associated as a male-only issue, now it's known to affect both sexes almost equally. However, the causes of hair loss between sexes can differ dramatically. For many women, the problem starts due to hormonal changes.
So, what is hormonal hair loss and what can you do about it?
Hormone related hair loss is a type of telogen effluvium. It can be triggered either by a traumatic event, such as extreme weight loss or surgery, or due to medical hormonal imbalances.
In both cases, the hormonal changes result in an increase in hormones which promote hair loss and a decrease in the hormones which cause hair growth. The dramatic shift causes more of the hair to enter the resting (telogen) phase, for a maximum of around seven months.
During this period, the hair will neither grow nor fall out. After the resting phase, all of the hair will start to shed at the same time, leading to thinning and potentially bald patches of hair loss.
Some of the most common medical hormonal issues which can lead to hair loss include thyroid issues, PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome), and the menopause.
There are a number of different treatments available to help with hair loss in women. However, before you can establish which one is right for you, it's important to get the condition accurately diagnosed.
If it turns out to be caused by a medical issue such as PCOS or thyroid problems, medication will need to be prescribed. It could be that you need to be placed onto a hormone regulating medication.
Minoxidil is a great treatment option to consider too. Sold in 2% strengths over the counter, this topical medication is clinically proven and does provide fantastic results. It's especially great for the treatment of trauma related hormonal hair loss, as this is more of a temporary issue where the hair will eventually grow back. With medically related hormonal hair loss, the underlying condition does need to be treated before the hair can start to be restored.
Overall, if you're suffering from hair thinning or hair loss, it's important to see your GP. They will be able to determine whether it's a hormonal issue and set you on an appropriate course of treatment.


My first few weeks at work were not easy and although I'd walked into work with a happy face I was actually suffering from a bad case of anxiety. Deep down I knew I hadn't done the hard yards with my recovery and I was ill-equipped to deal with police work on my return on the 22nd of August 2016. The definition for anxiety is you over-state the problems that you face and under-estimate your ability to deal with those problems. That was exactly how I felt when I first stepped into the Fraud Squad office at Auckland Central Police Station. I knew I hadn't taken steps to tackle my depression and those first few weeks were just me treading water and keeping my head above water…..the problem was I was destined to sink as soon as someone threw me any weight. That weight would come in the form of a simple break in my routine and that break sent me spiraling back down into my dark hole.
Initially I worked 4 hours a day, three days a week but even that had me feeling like I'd been hit with a sledgehammer. I'd get home, lie down on the couch and contemplate what the hell had just hit me. It felt like my life had been sucked out through my ears, leaving a vacuum in my head that had my eyes looking like piss holes in the snow. I couldn't do a thing and spent hours trying to find that place people call mindfulness. Mindfulness, in my head was non-existent because I was chained to negativity and that negativity drove me to hate myself. It was all compounded by my feelings of inadequacy at work and that made me do things that had me hating myself even more. In the evenings I'd seek some solace by stuffing myself with carbs and alcohol hoping I'd get temporary relief from the self-inflicted stress I had put myself through…..in the end all I was doing was dragging my body into the same dark hole my head had been for the last four months.
So there I was for those first few weeks twiddling my pencil and making coffee. I started work at 7 am and finished at 11 am. I was initially tasked with going through the fraud files and assessing them for investigation. Now assessing fraud files is about as exciting as having dinner with your mother in law and the whole process just about had me slitting my wrists with my slide ruler. Its was a slow and painful process but it was all I was capable of doing without unscrewing my head from my neck. I never felt I was doing a good job and I continually questioned every aspect of my miserable performance. That's what you do when you are depressed….you magnify all your mistakes and weaknesses and minimise everything that you have achieved. Even just going to work and doing 4 hours was an achievement but I couldn't see that….I couldn't magnify those little achievements that were big steps towards recovery.
So there I was wallowing in my own in-security and although the police were good to me and I appreciated the opportunity to slide back into police work I didn't manage myself very well and when I walked into work I clean forgot that I was recovering from a severe case of depression. As a result I became my own worst enemy as my impatience and my longing to impress others had me deceiving everyone who was trying to help me. After 30 years in the police I had become the master of deception and like every other policeman I wasn't going to show my soft under-belly because in our line of work that is an invitation to rip you open and leave you to the mercy of others, both in and out of the police.

Rip Tide (2017) full movie online free megashare: There comes a point in everyone's life when you have to make a decision about the direction you're going to take. For newly-18 American fashion model Cora (musician and Disney star Debby Ryan, Jessie, 16 Wishes), that time is now. She's moved to an Australian coastal town to be with her favourite aunt, after a 'fashion faux pas' back home.

Deutschland Card - für was???
"Mein Restaurant", The German Version of "My Restaurant Rules"
Now here in Germany we also have the reality TV show at VOX called "Mein Restaurant" which is based on the original Australian show "My Restaurant Rules". Of course Germany is once again one of the last countries that broadcasts a show that was successful in other countries like Belgium, the Netherlands, Denmark and New Zealand. Anyway, there are 5 couples from 5 cities in Germany. It is Hamburg, Munich, Leipzig, Cologne and Berlin where these couples run their restaurants figthing for against each other to be allowed to keep their restaurants open. Because every week the worst restaurant of them has to shut their doors. There is a jury that decides about the concept of the restaurant and how much money each restaurant gets from the TV-show. In the jury is Tim Mälzer, Eva Marian-Gestner and Christoph. With the money they got at the beginning of the show they had to restore an old building. The buildings for the restaurants were chosen by the broadcasting station VOX. Munich´s restaurant is called "Grinsekatze",Hamburg´s restaurant was named "Graurocks", the one in Leipzig "Tessanova", the one in Cologne "copa room" and the last but not least restaurant in Berlin was named "bloom".
At the current status of the show, the restaurants are open and you can go there for lunch and dinner. You can not reseve a table in those restaurants because that is one of the rules of the game. So only the first people at the restaurant get a table. This means that you have to have quite much luck to find a table.
At the last show the jury decided, which two restaurants are to vote to be closed. You can vote by phone for the restaurant you prefer. The one with less votes has to close on November 14, 15 minutes after the vote will be closed. On November 14 there is the first vote between the two restaurants "Grinsekatze" and "Tessanova". "Grinsekartze" started to motivate people in Munich with t-shirts with the words "Yes we can" on it;) In Leizig, the team fired their cook before the decision that they are one of the nominees was announced. He was responsible for the bad food review by the jury. At least this is the opinion of the restaurants managing director.
Finally only the winning restaurant can keep the doors open for ever. The other 4 restaurants have to close. In my opinion there will be a final vote between Hamburg with the "Graurocks" vs "Grinsekatze" from Munich.
What I couldn´t understand is as follows. A lot OTHER restaurants are serving sooo bad meals that and normally those restaurants should close. And here at this show, you have five excellent restaurants and 4 of them have to close again?! Impossible! Hopefully VOX will change the show concept this way that they announce that all five restaurents stay opened at the end of the show.


What are the basics of the 90/90 pivot-based aiming system?
90/90 is an align-and-pivot aiming system developed by Ron Vitello.
Here's a related document from Andrew Cleary containing some good illustrations.
As with all pivot-based aiming systems, there are issues that limit their effectiveness.
If you break the ball up into 10% increments, you want to line your cue up so that you are aligning the last 10% of the cue ball and object ball… or as Ron V calls, 90/90.
Pivot your HIPS to the center of the cue ball. You should now be lined up to make the shot. If you pivot past center ball, don't try to fix it while your down, just get up and start over.

Opposites Do Not Attract Each Other For Long
There is a false myth that says that opposites attract, or in other words that couples made up of two different members are the ones that work best, the ones that complement each other, the ones that love each other the most. Because you compensate for what I lack and vice versa.
It is true that what we consider novel or "different" can be very attractive to us at first, as human beings tend to be extremely curious. But from there to say that a love relationship between two very different people is destined to work, is another thing. Of course, nothing prevents this from happening.
If you think about it, when we choose our friends, we almost always tend to surround ourselves with people who share, more or less, our same interests and goals, we choose people with tastes and passions similar to ours, fostering a bond that can last over time .
Relationships do not differ much from friendship. Personally, I believe that within the couple, people must be good friends as well as lovers. First of all because in this way you will be able to enjoy the company of the other much more, going to greatly enrich the relationship; secondly, because once the limits of passion have worn off, friendship will be the strength that will revive the relationship and make it last a long time.
When the initial period of passion and madness of love ends, two people who are not alike in anything will end up getting bored of each other, sinking into an unbearable monotony.
Short-term attraction
It is also true that having at your side a person who is partly different from us can bring us a lot and teach different things; but there will come a time when debates and discussions will only escalate, and over time the relationship will inevitably die out due to the huge number of differences that emerge between the two.
It is especially when these differences are linked to values, interests and vital goals, that the relationship is doomed to fail, unless one of the two members loves himself so little that he is willing to transform himself into a surrogate for the other, changing his own. values, their own tastes and preferences, becoming totally dependent on the other person. And unfortunately this phenomenon is more common than one thinks.
People with low self-esteem tend to be attracted to those who have nothing to do with them, guided by the false hope that the other can complete them; in reality, each of us is a complete human being in all respects, without the need for anyone's contribution.
What problems can arise between such different people?
Problems with empathy. It is much easier to empathize with people like us than with different people. Putting yourself in the shoes of someone you absolutely don't get along with is complicated and often frustrating. The ability to understand the other is a pillar within any relationship, and the complications that will arise from the inability to understand each other will be too many.
Problems of coexistence. If one is organized and methodical and the other chaotic and messy, problems will eventually arise. At first it might make you smile and be taken lightly, but in the long run, coexistence will become unstable. The same will happen to couples with different interests. This is not to say that it is not of extreme importance that each member has their own space and do things outside the relationship. It is a healthy and positive aspect for the couple, but as always, it is good to know how to set limits.
Boredom. As is natural, two people who do not look alike will end up getting bored of each other, as they will have a hard time sharing tastes, passions, music, books, films… And being together will not be so much fun. There will come a time when there will be no more topics for conversation, there will be nothing to talk about.
Individuality. Appearance very similar to that of boredom, indeed its consequence. The relationship will end up becoming so boring and uninteresting, that everyone will try to set out on an individual path or to get closer to other people more similar to him, with whom he can share all those things that satisfy and make him happy.
Children's education. How can we think of educating our children in a healthy way if the parents have different values and education? The educational process will be a failure. It will only give rise to many discussions, each member will try to convince the other on the best way to do things and end up confusing the same children.
It is therefore possible that two different people feel attracted to each other, at first when the novelty acts as an aphrodisiac. Studies show, however, that in the long run, the unions between opposite poles end up breaking down due to the increase in the number of problems compared to the benefits.

Texas A&M, Baylor will host NCAA baseball regionals
Express-News staff and wire reports
Updated 10:58 pm CDT, Sunday, May 27, 2012
Big 12 player of the year Josh Ludy (30) and the Baylor Bears will be among 16 hosts for the NCAA baseball regionals that begin Friday. Texas A&M and Rice are the other hosts from Texas.

Big 12 teams Texas A&M and Baylor were among 16 schools selected Sunday to host regionals in the opening round of the NCAA baseball tournament.
It is the Aggies' sixth consecutive and 28th overall selection to the 64-team tournament, which begins Friday.
Baylor, which won the Big 12 regular-season championship with a 20-4 record, hosted regionals in 1999, 2000 and 2005. The Bears (44-14) won three games to advance and host a super regional in 2005, defeating Clemson to reach the College World Series for the first time since 1978.
Rice was the only other Texas school chosen to host a regional Sunday.
Florida State, ranked No. 1 a few weeks this season, is hosting a regional for the 29th time.
The Seminoles (43-15) join four other Atlantic Coast Conference schools selected.
Miami, North Carolina, North Carolina State and Virginia also are hosts from the ACC, which also had a tournament-high five schools selected last year.
Each of the 16 host schools clinched a spot in the NCAA tournament, with the rest of the field announced by the Division I baseball committee today. The top eight national seeds also will be announced.
Joining Baylor and Texas A&M (42-15) in the NCAA field from the Big 12 will be Missouri, which defeated Oklahoma 8-7 on Sunday in Oklahoma City to win its first Big 12 tournament in its final season as a conference member.
Dillon Everett drove in two runs, and Blake Brown scored the go-ahead run in the eighth inning for Missouri (32-27), which is back in the postseason for the first time since 2009.
Catcher Ben Turner added two singles and two RBIs for the Tigers, who will join the Southeastern Conference next season.
"I love coming here. I always have, and I'll miss it," Missouri coach Tim Jamieson said. "It's special to win the last one."
With Georgia Tech winning its conference tournament Sunday, the ACC is assured of at least six teams in the field.
The Pac-12 is second with four host schools — Arizona, Oregon, Stanford and UCLA. The SEC has three, with Florida, LSU and two-time defending College World Series champion South Carolina.
All of the sites are at on-campus fields, except for the regional hosted by Purdue, which will be played at U.S. Steel Yard in Gary, Ind., because of stadium construction. Purdue and Oregon are first-time host schools.
Eight schools — Florida, Florida State, North Carolina, Rice, Texas A&M, South Carolina, UCLA and Virginia — also hosted last year.
The 16 regional winners will play in the super regionals, beginning June 8.
The eight winners of those best-of-3 series will advance to the College World Series in Omaha, Neb. College baseball's marquee event begins June 15 at TD Ameritrade Park.

What does it take to be a beauty queen? In the Philippines, it involves weeks, months or even years of training. Even then, it doesn't guarantee you a pageant title.
Tammy David, who spent 2007 to 2013 photographing beauty pageants, offers an inside look of a beauty pageant boot camp – one of the many in the Philippines.
To her surprise, many of the women she met weren't looking for cash or prestige. Some did it out of boredom, some to satisfy a loved one's desire and some to prove a point.
"I met a girl who wanted a new challenge in life while another came from a family of beauty queens. I also met a beauty queen who joined a pageant for her boyfriend who wanted to run for office," Tammy shares in an interview with Contented.
That said, some women do gun for the money. Not that they would admit it.
Tammy's photo series follows seven aspiring beauty queens in training for the Binibining Pilipinas pageant, also known as Miss Philippines.
Training regimes include learning how to ace question-and-answer sections of the competition, knowing your colour palette and figuring out how to walk – which typically involves having to sway your hips in four-inch heels and a bikini.
While these training programmes are free of charge, entering beauty pageants doesn't come cheap, costing around USD 2000.
"That's a lot of money for the average Filipino," Tammy comments.
Trainers benefit too, often pocketing a cut of the pageant winnings and taking charge of the winner's pageant career.
Some are wealthy enough to support themselves, while a lucky few turn to sponsorships from local governments or patrons. Others often resort to relying on family and friends for dole-outs.
Not all their sacrifice pays off. As with all competitions, there are winners, and then there are losers.
One year on, she still hasn't found a definitive answer.
Indication of poverty – maybe. Obsession with beauty – possibly. Regional pride – absolutely.
"International pageants are huge events here and when winning queens arrive they get the red carpet or royal treatment," she offers.
