Mortgage Relief Services
Mortgage Relief Service is the process of achieving change in the loan contract agreed to by the lender and the borrower. The mortgage relief services getting attention now are those designed to reduce the principle balance and or interest rate and payment on homeowners mortgages.
Homeowners that are interested in either reducing their principle balance and or interest rate and mortgage payment (whether they are delinquent on their mortgage or not) should request professional mortgage relief assistance.
Homeowners are unlikely to get such a change unless they ask, and homeowners should also make the investment required to make their case as clearly as possible and most importantly seek professional assistance to insure the most favorable outcome possible.
The stakes are very high: your house and your credit.
In most cases, the decision on mortgage relief is not made by the firm that owns the loan. It is made by a firm servicing the loan under contract to the owner. The owner could be a single lender, or it could be a group of investors who own pieces of a mortgage-backed security collateralized by a pool of loans. Every servicing company and every lender has different guidelines that they follow when it comes to signing off on mortgage relief. This is why working with a professional and experienced mortgage relief servicing company is essential.
Whoever owns the loan (whether it is a lender or a group of lenders), the servicing firm is contractually obligated to find the solution to payment problems that will minimize loss to the owner. If the lowest-cost solution is a mortgage relief agreement, that's great -- everyone involved prefers a mortgage relief agreement instead of a foreclosure. But if a foreclosure would generate lower costs for the owner, the decision will be to foreclose. The cost of foreclosure to the borrower does not enter the decision.
Yet the decision is far from cut and dried, and it can be materially affected by whether and how the borrower presents his case.
That is why homeowners faced with this prospect, whether they are delinquent or not, should request professional Mortgage Relief Assistance.

South Pacific Enterprise 1956.
The history of the Colonial Sugar Refining Company (CSR Co.)
This Centenary commemorative book was issued to company shareholders in 1955.
An Australian enterprise founded 1855 by Edward Knox, a Danish immigrant, from earlier origins as the Australasian Sugar Company ( 1842), which Knox managed. The company established sugar operations in Australia, Fiji, New Zealand and over the next 150 years diversified into building materials, chemicals etc.

OHIO-COLORADO SMELTING & REFINING CO. SMOKESTACK / SMELTERTOWN - 1401 J St.
National Register 1/11/1976, 5CF.143
Completed in 1917, the brick and tile smokestack reaches a height of 365 feet. Its concrete foundation extends 30 feet into the ground. The structure was built to replace two shorter smokestacks at the Ohio-Colorado Smelting and Refining Company's smelter facility located one mile west of Salida. Although the facility closed in 1920, the smokestack remains as a highly visible monument to the mining industry and its workers.
Australasian Sugar Refining Company complex 1891, 1899 at conversion to apartments in the 1980s.
Designers: Hyndman and Bates.
.
`The site of the factory was included in Section 2B [of the original Port Melbourne survey], which was surveyed into four allotments early in the history of Sandridge. By November 1860 three of these had been purchased by A. Ross, joining William Jones, S.G. Henty and P. Lalor as owners of the section (2)..
.
In February 1890, the Melbourne Tram and Omnibus Company Limited, had stables, offices, land and an omnibus repository on the section.(3) [Most of the present buildings on the site date from 1891, when the Australasian Sugar Refining Company established a refinery.(4)] On the MMBW detail plan dated 1894, the section is labelled 'sugar works' and the configuration of buildings approximately conforms with the present layout. [The refinery was closed in 1894 following its purchase by the Colonial Sugar Refining Company as part of a move to strengthen its monopoly.].
.
[In 1899, Robert Harper and Company Pty Ltd converted the buildings to a starch factory, and various brick additions were constructed to designs by Hyndman and Bates, architects.(5)] When the sewerage was connected in 1899, a plan was drawn by the architects and this closely resembles the 1894 MMBW detail plan configuration. (6) .
.
The buildings .. form the major part of the original factory complex on the site, one of the largest nineteenth century industrial sites in Victoria. The complex as a whole is significant for its large size and range of building types. The dramatic massing and height of the 9 Beach Street buildings gives them additional importance as local landmarks as viewed both from the surrounding streets and the sea..
.
COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS.
The former Australasian Sugar Refining Company and Robert Harper starch factory complex can be compared with a number of other large nineteenth century industrial complexes in Melbourne. These include the former Yorkshire Brewery, Wellington Street, Collingwood (from 1876), the former Victoria Brewery, Victoria Parade, East Melbourne (established 1854), the former Kimpton's Flour Mill, Elizabeth Street, Kensington, the Thomas Brunt flour mill and Brockhoff and T.B. Guest biscuit factories complex, Laurens and Munster Streets, North Melbourne (from 1888-9) and the Joshua Bros (now CSR) sugar refinery, Whitehall Street, Yarraville (established 1873). All of these are representative of the development in Victoria of the manufacture of foodstuffs and related raw materials. Of these, the CSR refinery is the most directly comparable in terms of original function and the scale and massing of the buildings. Established significantly earlier than the Port Melbourne refinery, the site is larger and more intact..
.
In the local context, the only other surviving industrial site of comparable scale is the Swallow and Ariell Biscuit Factory complex (q.v.). This complex is of state significance, and is considerably earlier, with parts dating from the 1850s. The predominantly two- and three-storey buildings, however, are of a different type to the former refinery and starch factory buildings..

Commonwealth Oil Refining Company, Inc. (CORCO) was an oil refinery established in the towns of Peñuelas and Guayanilla in Puerto Rico in the middle of the 20th century. The project started as part of Operation Bootstrap with the first unit being constructed in 1954. The company started operations in 1955 and was finally incorporated on May 19, 1963. Corco represented an investment of $25 million and had the capacity to refine 23,500 barrels (3,740 m3) of oil daily. Hugo David Storer Tavarez was one of the men in charge of the CORCO being established in Puerto Rico.
The refinery is located in an 800-acre (3.2 km2) site, and consists of numerous storage tanks and waste treatment units typical of petroleum refineries. CORCO has been inactive since 1982, and now functions as a terminal for the marine transportation and land-based storage of crude oil and petroleum products.
After the refinery ceased operations, an entity called Desarrollo Integral del Sur (South Integral Development) began developing a long-term plan for the reuse of the terrains and properties.

Black Jack, the outlaw surgeon from the manga by Osamu Tezuka, and my signature cosplay. I've been refining this since late 2005.
I made the vest (Though it's hard to see) and the tie, as well as modification of an existing wig, and of course, I did the face makeup design. This version I wore for Yaoi-Con in San Mateo, CA on October 31, 2009.
Black Jack - a.k.a. Kuroo Hazama
(updated text from a write-up I've done for a project - blackjack.networkr3.com - Site opens 2009.11.19)
The story begins with a young boy, Kuro Hazama, who was gravely injured when an unexploded bomb went off on the beach where he and his mother were visting. Both of them, hanging on tenaciously to life, were rushed to the nearest hospital, where it was said there was no hope of saving either of them.
However, one determined surgeon, Dr. Jotaro Honma, was determined not to give up, and proceeded to operate on Kuro and his mother. Through a series of operations, involving countless surgeries to reconstruct damaged limbs, tissue, and numerous skin grafts, Dr. Homna was able to save the life of Kuro, and, over many years, Kuro was able to regain the use of his once-battered body. Unfortunately, for his mother, she lost her limbs, as well as her voice. It was said that half of young Kuro's hair turned white from the shock of seeing his mother after her surgery. She never recovered, and eventually died from her injuries.
Kuro was cared for by Dr. Honma, who oversaw his rehabilitation. Having been inspired by the man who saved his life, Kuro chose to enter the field of medicine. His diligence paid off, for he developed talents that would become the envy of most in the field of professional medicine. However, the story goes that he lost his license to practice medicine, or he chose not to be bound by the restrictions of having a license.
As such, he became known as Black Jack, a talented outlaw surgeon, who is perceived by most to charge exorbitant sums of money from his patients, and officially reviled by legitimate doctors the world over. (However, most seek his services unofficially when the needs arises.) But, for some, he is seen as a savior for those who have nowhere else to turn.
dude runs through all the steps to refine the coca leaves, roughly as follows, but don't quote me on this:
1. take a weed wacker to 300kg of leaves
2. add copious amounts of gasoline, this absorbs the cocaine, drain and compost leaf mulch
3. to get rid of the gas, mix in sulphuric acid and water, put in big drum, wait a while
3. solution seperates, cocaine and acid mixture floats to the top, siphon off gas, reuse
4. add sodium bicarbonate to get rid of acid, need lots of this stuff, buy this from the guerillas
5. the cocaine crystalizes in the solution, filter and there you go
missed a couple steps, think the gas fumes were getting to me, but end product isnt yet ready for use, have to remove the remaining bicarbonate or it will destroy your nostrils. the guerillas dont want the individual farmers using the stuff they make, eh?
FYI, personally do not condone the use or manufacture of cocaine. it perpetuates exploitation on so many levels. the above is meant to show how dangerous and damaging the processing is.

Petcoke is a by-product of crude oil refining. It is a thick, black, powdery dust that is being stored in huge mounds along the Calumet River on Chicago's far southeast side 10th ward not far from the Indiana border.
Just across the border in Whiting, Indiana is the British Petroleum processing plant that produces the petcoke. Right now, the plant produces around 2,000 tons of the stuff every day, but that is set to rise to around 6,000 tons.
Residents of the mostly African-American and Latino 10th ward are angry because the dust blows around their neighborhood and covers everything with a layer of fine powder. They cannot open their windows. Each day they have to wipe the dust off of furniture, appliances, etc. Yet, even that is not good enough for the dust even enters homes through chimneys and furnaces. Dust gets in children's eyes and cases of asthma are on the rise. A resident even said that her kid's birthday party was ruined when some of the black dust blew into their backyard and covered the food, so they were forced to throw it out and end the celebration. There is also worry about the long-term effects of being exposed to whatever materials or elements are contained in the dust.
So far, the city of Chicago has been slow to react to the concerns of local residents. Mayor Emanuel has an ordinance on the table to regulate petcoke, but critics say that it contains a loophole that might allow companies to continue to store petcoke along the river.
A spokesman for 10th ward alderman John Pope said that ' they want to make sure they get everything right legally, not only to protect the area residents, but also the businesses involved'.
One of the installations involved is KCBX, owned by Koch Industries, which itself is owned the climate denying Koch brothers, Charles and David. The facility does have a large water sprinkler system in place that is designed to prevent the dust from spreading, but residents say that it does not do the job.
This is the theme of our annual Clear Youth Conference. It's all about refining our relationship with God and getting our bad habits and hang-ups out of the way so God can use us. Fire is the ultimate refining agent, so what better iconic element to use?

The Kendall Refining Company was founded in 1881 by William Willis, E. R.Loomis and R. H. Childs in Bradford, PA to refine local Pennsylvania Grade Crude Oil into kerosene, lubricants and greases.
Bradford, PA, named a local creek after the then U.S. Postmaster General, Amos Kendall in an effort to get approval for its own post office, a request that was granted in 1841. Because Amos Kendall was also the founder of Gallaudet University, the world's first college for the deaf, it is often believed that the Kendall Oil two-finger logo represented the letter "K" in sign language. However, Kendall Oil insists that the logo has nothing to do with sign language. Instead, it stands for 2000, the number of miles a car could go between oil changes at a time when changing the oil every 500 miles was the norm. The company was named Kendall not because any connections to Amos Kendall or the deaf, but simply because of its location on Kendall Creek.
The company still makes lubricants today. The product line includes engine and transmission oils, gear lubricants, hydraulic fluids and greases. Kendall is now a registered trademark of the ConocoPhillips Company.

"Vision" - Edmonds, WA. © Doug van Kampen, 2011
Those of you that know me, know that I spend a ton of time reading about photography, refining in my minds eye what my vision is, and contemplating what projects (those which I have time for) I should undertake in the near future. To be honest though, lately I haven't had *any* time for projects, "self-assignments", or much in the way of shooting new material.
Recently, I've made the [uncomfortable] transition from land life to boat life. My profession, or at least what I specialize in at my real job is that of a Coast Guardsmen. I spend each and every day managing a wonderful group of men and women whom I call my shipmates...a second family of sorts. Honestly, the closest friends (other than my childhood friends) I have, come from those relationships I've made while assigned aboard ship. I still have yet to figure out why; perhaps it has something to do with spending months on end living, breathing, and sharing meals with these folks.
I chose the above image out of several I have made recently to effectively manage the thoughts I have about the next couple months I will spend at sea away from family and loved ones. Even though the prospect of spending so much time away from family seems insurmountable at present, the reality of it is that I'll have many hours to contemplate the things which I hold the most dear: my family, my loved one's, my friends...God's role in my life and craft which he blessed me with.
Change is hard, no matter what you do, where you are, or how you roll. Pushing forward and embracing that change, making the most of the time you're given to allow that change, and being the change you wish to experience...that's what will matter when you look back on life without a single regret. See you all in about three months and change (pun intended). God speed, fair winds and following seas....you get the idea. -DvK

From Diver Magazine: "Cayman Commission
Hellemn didn’t stop there however. He continued to refine his technique, effort that led to methods and equipment needed to create underwater panoramas of reefs against open water vistas, all with unlimited depth of field. While producing a series of these striking scenes he was commissioned to create the Camana Bay image by The Design Theorem, an Atlanta- based physical branding firm. Its president, Sam Fidler, wanted to incorporate photo realistic ocean imagery into the observation tower and elsewhere in the real estate development. Working with Sandy Urquhart at Camana Bay, they envisioned the tower scene as a finely detailed mosaic of a typical Cayman reef animated by a profusion of marine life. In final form it was crafted from more than three million Venetian tiles in 180 varieties of coloured glass manufactured by the Italian firm Bisazza.
Hellemn wanted the mural to incorporate the underwater beauty and diversity of all three Cayman islands and so began the process of compiling a wish list of elements representative of Cayman marine life to be included in the multi-storey mosaic. Photography was completed in January 2006. Colleagues Courtney Platt on Grand Cayman and Jason Belport on Cayman Brac provided dive support and contributed images as well for review by Fidler and the Camana Bay design team. In the ensuing months a composite image was completed and a check print was supplied to Bisazza for corrections and match-up with the colour palette of the tiles. In the final phase these were hand cut by the craftsmen of Mosaico Boutique, a specialty studio based in Miami, which supplied the mosaic on large master sheets complete with detailed application instructions. A Camana Bay team applied the mosaic to the tower wall over an eight months period. The building opened to the public in October 2009.
“It’s the largest undersea themed mosaic we’ve done and the largest in the world as far as I know,” Fidler said. The Camana Bay website says the installation is the most detailed undersea glass mosaic of its size ever assembled “making it the largest of its kind in the world.” And for its accuracy and attention to detail it transcends public art to become a valuable educational tool used by island teachers helping their students better understand the marine world in their backyard."

Tate and Lyle employ directly over 500 staff at the refinery in Silvertown, which has occupied the current site for over 130 years. Theirs is the last major industry on the Thames bank.
Tate agreed the GBP211 million sale of its European sugar-refining business, which includes its golden syrup and cane sugar refineries on the River Thames at Silvertown, and has given American Sugar Refining Inc. a perpetual worldwide licence to use the famous brand name.
It is the first transfer of ownership for the plants since they were established by Sir Henry Tate and Abraham Lyle.

Murano glass is glass made on the Venetian island of Murano, which has specialized in fancy glasswares for centuries. Murano’s glassmakers led Europe for centuries, developing or refining many technologies including crystalline glass, enamelled glass (smalto), glass with threads of gold (aventurine), multicoloured glass (millefiori), milk glass (lattimo), and imitation gemstones made of glass. Today, the artisans of Murano are still employing these centuries-old techniques, crafting everything from contemporary art glass and glass figurines to Murano glass chandeliers and wine stoppers, as well as tourist souvenirs.
Today, Murano is home to a vast number of factories and a few individual artists' studios making all manner of glass objects from mass marketed stemware to original sculpture. The Museo del Vetro (Glass Museum) in the Palazzo Giustinian houses displays on the history of glassmaking as well as glass samples ranging from Egyptian times through the present day.[1]
Almost anywhere you go in Italy you can find Murano glass, especially in Venice.
History[edit]
A Murano glassworker adds colour to his creation
Making the glass malleable
Making a Glass Horse
Located 1.5 kilometers from the main city Venice, Italy, Murano has been a commercial port since as far back as the 7th century. It is believed that glassmaking in Murano originated in 8th-century Rome, with significant Asian and Muslim influences, as Venice was a major trading port. Murano glass is similar to the 1st-century BC Greek glasses found then shipwreck of Antikythera. Murano’s reputation as a center for glassmaking was born when the Venetian Republic, fearing fire and destruction of the city’s mostly wooden buildings, ordered glassmakers to move their foundries to Murano in 1291. Murano glass is the largest proportion of Venetian glass.
Murano's glasssmakers were soon the island’s most prominent citizens. By the 14th century, glassmakers were allowed to wear swords, enjoyed immunity from prosecution by the Venetian state, and their daughters permitted to marry into Venice’s most affluent families. Marriage between glass master and the daughter of the nobleman wasn't regarded as misalliance. However glassmakers were not allowed to leave the Republic. Exportation of professional secret was punished by death. Many craftsmen took this risk and set up glass furnaces in surrounding cities and as far afield as England and the Netherlands. By the end of the 16th century, three thousand of Murano island's seven thousand inhabitants were involved in some way in the glassmaking industry. French revolutionary armies occupied Murano in 1797.
Murano glass was produced in great quantities in the 1950s and 1960s for export and for tourists
