What the What? Stephen King's Epic 'It' to Get Two-Film Adaptation From Director Cary Fukunaga
Movie News By Rob Hunter on June 7, 2012 | Be the First To CommentIt's been a long time since Stephen King fans had any reason to be excited for an upcoming film adaptation of his work. Bag of Bones was made into a mediocre mini-series last year, but the last King-based feature to hit theaters was Frank Darabont's excellent and underrated The Mist five years ago. Between then and now the only other completed productions were several short films (usually independent "dollar babies"). It's telling that the best film/TV entity bearing his name in the past five years is a syfy series that bears absolutely zero connection to its supposed source material (King's short novel, The Colorado Kid). Recent announcements haven't been all that exciting either. The Dark Tower from the poop-filled pen of screenwriter Akiva Goldsman? The Ten O'Clock People from the director of the worst King mini-series, The Langoliers? Remakes of Firestarter, Carrie, and Pet Sematary? Aside from a tease that Ben Affleck may develop The Stand as an upcoming directorial project the news has been fairly grim. Which is why what follows is so damn exciting (and unexpected).
Chase Palmer may have zero feature film writing credits under his belt (at least, none that have made it to the big screen yet), but he's about to get a big one. According to THR, he has been hired by Paramount Pictures to work on the script for the upcoming film Dune.

Washington Post: MP3 Players to Rival Pricier iPod
Washingtonpost.com's Technews reviews four new iPod competitors. Looks like iPod still gets the best marks, but the Dell product seems almost comparable.
"Apple's iPod has stolen the hearts of many digital-music fans with its stylish, svelte contours and delightfully simple controls. But it's an expensive date, from $299 for a 10-gigabyte model to $499 for a 40-gig unit, and the latest design's arrangement of buttons lacks some of the first iPod's intuitive clarity.
Meanwhile, competing manufacturers have shipped a series of MP3 players with iPod-esque capacities and sizes but lower prices: Creative's Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra, Dell's Digital Jukebox, Rio's Karma and Samsung's YP-910GS Napster."

I saw the Dell at a Dell Mall kiost.
No comparision. The iPod is clearly superior.

"I saw the Dell at a Dell Mall kiost.

You "saw" it and made this blanket judgment?
Did you actually use it? Did you heft it, play with the interface, run with it, or try syncing it?
Frankly I have little faith in your visual assessment.
Posted by Assumptions on December 7, 2003 at 7:16 PM (CST)
Saw, felt, handled, listened to, observed fit and finish., etc.
Interface is similar, almost seems like a copy. No easy way to run with it or sync it, but I didn't like the controls, the color, the feel.
No offenese to Dell, and I am not a Macintosh loyalist, but I thought it was an inferior product.
Why don't you do this, go find one, check it out, and report back. I have a 2G iPod and frankly like it better than the 3G ones but for the weight.
Posted by Buzz Bruggeman on December 7, 2003 at 7:42 PM (CST)
The iPod battery is replacable. I am an original iPod owner (10GB), and I use it literally every day. I still get at least 5 hours of straight playing time out of my battery no problem.
For $99 Apple will replace the battery. That includes the new battery, shipping, labor, and guarantee. Considering the higher quality battery used by apple - and, of course, the significantly higher quality product overall - this is a bargain.
Posted by Atomic Bomb on December 7, 2003 at 9:41 PM (CST)
The quaility between the two products is debatable however I hardly see the ipod and its battery replacement a bargain..
$500 ipod and a $100 battery replacement a year or so down the road…. NAHHHH
Buzz: All I had to see was "SEE" the Ipod to know I wanted one.. to the point that I had dreams about that darn thing… I havn't felt that itch with other mp3 players..
Posted by bababooey on December 8, 2003 at 4:16 AM (CST)
I have a 30gb Ipod and a 20gb Zen NX. Yes, if I had to choose, I would choose Ipod. It is definitely easier to use, smaller and Apple's quality rep is up there. However, the Zen has better sound (yes, it does) and is a better value in terms of storage capacity. The replaceable battery option is very nice, not because it is necessarily that much cheaper than the DIY Ipod solutions, but it's easier and more convenient. You buy the battery ($50) and you simply change it. Takes about 10 seconds. The Zen is not as easy to use as the Ipod and they could have designed the scroll wheel to function a little easier. However, like many things, once you get used to it, it's pretty easy. I'd have to say they are both excellent products which may seem like heresy around here, but there you have it.

"The quaility between the two products is debatable…"
bababooey - Have you actually used the Dell product? In my opinion it's a hunk of junk. But perhaps my standards are a bit high.
Posted by Atomic Bomb on December 8, 2003 at 10:15 AM (CST)
"my standards are a bit high"
I am curious about those standards? How do you judge an audio handheld? On compactness? On sound quality? On ergonomics? On features? On format support? On UI? On battery life? On g-shock resistance? On cost?
For some of these categories the iPod scores quite highly, but for others it's near the bottom of the pack.
Don't be so quick to think that your value judgments necessarily reflect another person's.
Posted by AtomicBomber on December 8, 2003 at 11:45 AM (CST)
I have used Dell products if you count my dell Desktop and its a wonderful machine (I am actually a former Mac user when 9.1 was the current OS)
If you read my last post I admitted being much more of an Ipod fan but for clarification superficial reasons. I simply like the style of the Ipod…
Objectively speaking that doesn't mean that the Ipod is the almighty superior be all end all product….
so atomic bomb it is my opinion that it isn;t that your standards that are high but rather that you are blinded by your lust over the ipod./. who can blame you? it is a nice product but there could be one day better.

"Nobody is mentioning the HUGE benefit and ease of using iTunes"
I don't think it's as cut and dried as that. I use Media Center on Windows to manage my iPod, while my girlfriend uses iTunes on the Mac to manage her Archos.
You can get iTunes plugins to manage all the major mp3 players so it's not like you *have* to use an iPod with iTunes.
And you can get plugins for most jukebox software to use an iPod, so it's not like you *have* to use iTunes with your iPod.

Cops seize illegal fireworks
Comment on this storyDurban - KwaZulu-Natal police said on Wednesday they seized at least 420 tons of illegal fireworks in two separate cases.
A fireworks vendor in Riverhorse Valley, Durban, was discovered by the police's explosives unit to have more than 300 tons of fireworks, spokesman Lt-Col Vincent Mdunge said.
His licence only allowed him to store one ton.
In a second case in Durban's Sydney Road, a vendor was found in possession of 120 tons of fireworks worth around R2 million, as well as R2.5 million worth of counterfeit clothing.
Police confiscated the fireworks and made an application to have them destroyed. The counterfeit clothing had been handed to customs officials from the SA Revenue Service. - Sapa

Set Yourself up for Success With New Year's Resolutions
by Dave Foreman New Year's Eve has always been a time for looking back to the past, and more importantly, forward to the coming year. It's a time to reflect on the changes we want (or need) to make and resolve to follow through on those changes. Which of the following resolutions are you looking into this year? •Lose weight •Get more exercise •Quit smoking •Learn something new •Spend more time with friends and family •Enjoy life more •Get out of debt •Help others •Quit drinking •Get organized If you take a closer look at each one of these, they all link either directly or indirectly to your health.We all understand the health benefits that increased exercise, stopping smoking and drinking, and losing weight can have. But how does helping others, enjoying life more, learning something new, getting organized or even getting out of debt make us healthier? Well, for one they help us feel better about ourselves and reduce the amount of stress in our lives. In past articles I have discussed the negative effects (immune, cardiovascular, digestive, etc.) that stress can impose on your body. By helping to eliminate added stress, you will have more energy and help your body address many of the other challenges it may have to deal with. Set your Goal My primary reason for writing this article is to provide you with Foundational and Fundamental ideas on achieving your New Year's Goals. Whether or not your goal is directly related to your health or not doesn't really matter. This information can help you achieve whatever goals you may have. To reach your goal, you must first set your goal. Your goal should be reasonable, which may mean doing some homework on what is reasonable to achieve. An example would be someone who has spent the last 10 years putting on an extra 50 pounds and thinking they should lose that weight in 30 days. If you did your homework you would learn that you should lose a pound to a pound and a half per week which means it would take you 33-50 weeks to shed those pounds. If you set your goal (expectations) to be in a much shorter timeframe, that would be unreasonable, unhealthy and usually lead you to "give up" and fail. Here are some basic steps to help you set and reach your goal(s): 1. Define your goal: Be specific about what you want to achieve. For example, how many pounds, timeframe, etc.? 2. Outline the steps needed: Once you have decided "where you want to go" you need to figure out how you plan to get there. Map out the steps needed to reach your goal. 3. Set a timeline: You goal and your timeline to reach your goal are up to you. 4. Ask for help: Consult someone who knows more about the subject than you do. Asking for help can be used for all aspects of your goal. 5. Consider possible delays or roadblocks: (These are a major reason people never reach their intended goal.) There are many potential delays and you need to be aware of what they are and how to prepare for them. I have heard so many people say "I was doing great until...we went on vacation...I got sick...my son moved back in with me..." The list is endless. Like a boy scout, be prepared. 6. Reward yourself: Build this into your outline and timeline. Example: For every 4 pounds I lose I can take 1 day off from activity. All work and no play makes you a very unhappy person.7. Write it all down:This is the most important step. Write down exactly what you want to achieve and post it in a place where you will see it every day. 8. Set yourself in motion: For things to change in your life, you must change. Setting yourself in motion means don't just think about it or talk about it, but do it. The burden/responsibility of your change is yours and no one else's. The sooner you set yourself in motion the quicker you will achieve your goal(s). Whatever you do - Don't Give Up! My favorite story to tell my children is "The Tortoise and the Hare". Slow and steady wins the race. Just as I mentioned above, you need to set yourself in motion and then keep it going. Go slow and don't give up! |

Gear Question
I wear a size 10 boot, they say M/L runs...
I wear a size 10 boot, they say M/L runs sizes 6-10 and a L/XL is 9.5-14. The two sizes overlap so i was just wondering which one i should get and why. Also, my feet are done growing.
Kris McGregor
They overlap for smaller footed peeps compared to mid-wide/wide rider. If you are a size 10, I would tell you to get the M/L. And they actually run a lil different from what is listed. The M/L runs up to a 10.5 boot, and the L/XL runs 11 and up. The reason why the sizes overlap is because some ppl are right in the middle of both sizes, kinda like you are. So obv the baseplate and bottom of the binder will be longer/bigger on the L/XL compared to the M/L. So ppl that ride a mid wide can rock the M/L or the L/XL depending on waist width of your board. So Union kinda gives you an open option of going for something with a smaller package for peeps who are right in the middle. But I would go for the M/L if your feet have stopped growing. Also depends on what kind of boot you rock, bec they all fit different. I ride Contact's and I have 2 pairs of 32 boots (lashed and TM2's) and they fit really different in the cage of the binder. So thats also why the sizes cross up a bit, to give the variation of sizes for you to choose from. M/L all the way for you tho bro. Hope this helped

HELP!!! We have painted our daughter's bedroom in Ambassador Sterling and after 3 coats are left with some very visible vertical lines. We are using the RL Metallics rollers and following the technique as indicated on their site. Does anyone have any suggestions for fixing this...I'm pulling my hair out and my painter is ready to quit!!!! |
Follow-Up Postings:
I've tinted this animal MANY times, and always tell our clients to...Lightly, & AT AN ANGLE, do the light criss-cross strokes. * These are mentioned in the newer brochures too. * A variation on this is applying it using curved/random strokes with the roller. * Then do light random criss-crosses, in the area just applied. * For a new "wrinkle" on things...crinkle-up some plastic bags and lightly pounce these on the wet Metallic sections. Faron (Just had a contractor finish up a commercial job that they went thru FORTY gallons of RL River-Rock!!! Was a pretty big area I guess!!) |

lorraine, about the only thing you can do at this point is like Samantha(Bewitched), blink your nose and say, "Abra-Cadabra This wall is now SPRAYED." Sorry, that was a little humor from me. This is one website and instructions that just make me sick. They are so good about filling customers full of this & that "knowing all along this souped up semi-gloss paint" is going to show roller marks. The only way to get a mirror like finish is going to need to be sprayed. Also notice how they show the instructions (which is a joke in itself); there is either a 7' man painting an 8' wall or the opposite a tall female . No ladders around, not even a step ladder- why - because they have the tall giraffes already there. Just for the record I hope no one gets offended by my observations on the Ralph line. I just think customers really should understand some of the mishaps that are going to happen and this is just one of the classics. The candlelight ain't no better . Sounds like your painter has used the floppy moppy rollers and ideally that is the general purpose of these rollers is to camouflage the visual tracks. So if your painter is game and wants to give it another go, there are a few things that might help you. Have him/her to get a size 3 or 4" (better 4")soft color wash brush. When your painter has rolled out two sections, take the soft brush and lightly do soft x's to blend out where each roller track ended. Other tools that could be used also are very soft natural wool sea sponges or woolie to tap out the demarcation lines or the use of a very soft badger brush. Another MOA is to use one of the covered ends whizz roller and do soft upward criss/crosses for the technique. Roll and lift the roller and roll in different directions. This is a great roller for dutch rolling at the ceiling line and for baseboards and corners as well. Another good tip is to always try and start with a base color as close to the finish color you have selected. A true metallic paint will have smaller mica particles and when rolled they line up with each other the way the the little particulates should. The only thing I like about the RL metallics are the colors. They are really nice. I much prefer MM metallics or Blue Pearl. They are so much easier to work with. Another thing I would like to point out, excess air or extreme hot temps is going to be the worst enemy to trying to work with metallics. So watch how your air is flowing or excessive heat. |

I'm painting an accent wall for my DD with Benjamin Moore metallic paint (iridescent gold) and I'm hating it. I tried to brush over the roller marks with a dry brush, with just one coat on, and then I had roller marks with brush strokes. I put a 2nd coat on today (we've got a nice mellow yellow under the gold) but I'm afraid the coating is just going to look splotchy. I guess I should have used a special roller/brush/technique, but I was uninformed. Is there anything to be done? My other daughter wants something similar, so maybe I can get it right on her wall the first time. Thanks. |
- Posted by paintergirl94 (My Page) on Wed, Jul 7, 10 at 3:14
As someone said earlier, these products are not user-friendly. Spraying is certainly an option. I always apply with a brush (sometimes a rag, too) in multiple coats. And, when done properly, the results are stunning. As with many decorative painting techniques, multiple coats is key. It's hard to say whether yours can be rectified by doing another coat, but it's worth a shot. Also, make sure you stir the paint constantly, the heavy particles tend to sink and you're left with only glaze at the top. |

VIDEO: 'No Russian'
Who is Kriegler? I see his name all over the place; on shipping containers, on a blimp in the 'Suspension' Spec Ops mission...
One of the most mysterious elements of the Modern Warfare universe is the corporation - and likely person - Kriegler. PC modders found unused audio files for the mission 'Mile High Club' in COD4, one of which has Gaz saying, with regards to the hostage you have to save, "Remember, the objective is to capture Kriegler, I repeat, capture Kriegler, alive. He's no good to us dead."
And in the mission Crew Expendable 'Kriegler' is written in Chinese characters on the containers on the deck of the ship. We also see it in English on a number of multi-player maps in Modern Warfare 2, and in the 'Suspension' Spec Ops mission on a prominent blimp. Whoever Kriegler is, he's clearly of some importance. But why all references to him were removed from 'Mile High Club', we'll never know.
Here's our theory; the Kriegler corporation funded the Ultranationalists, which could explain their high tech weaponry and endless resources. And that would also explain why their containers were on the ship carrying the nuke in 'Crew Expendable'. As a side note, Richard Kriegler is a member of the art team at Infinity Ward.
We've another theory about Kriegler, and a potential link to MW3... so tune back to the blog early next week.
VIDEO: 'Suspension' in Spec Ops - note the blimp
So how did Makarov know that Allen was working with the CIA?
This isn't confirmed, but reading between the lines suggests... it's because General Shepherd ratted him out. It was all part of his convoluted Bond villain-style plot to take control the US military and make America the mightiest nation on the planet, by secretly orchestrating the Russia/America war with the Ultranationalists.
But with his status as a war hero secured, Shepherd betrays his partners, both in an attempt to remove any last link to his treacherous actions, and to gain further glory as the man who brought down Makarov. Makarov survives his betrayal, however, and prepares to go into hiding, while Captain Price and 'Soap' MacTavish figure out Shepherd's agenda and assault his base in a cave system in Afghanistan.
Shepherd's reign of terror ends when Soap hurls a throwing knife at his head, but the war has been going so long that his death will have little effect on the ongoing conflict. Soap and Price become fugitives, declared war criminals by Shepherd, and that's where Modern Warfare 2 ends. The next game will, no doubt, revolve around Price and Soap - if he survives (which he will) - trying to clear their name and halt the war, and finally track down Makarov. Lots of sequel potential there, and one is pretty much inevitable.
Why has Shepherd become a 'bad guy'?
Before trying to kill Soap, General Shepherd reveals, "Five years ago, I lost 30,000 men in the blink of an eye. And the world just fuckin' watched. Tomorrow there will be no shortage of volunteers, no shortage of patriots.
I know you understand". Shepherd served as commander of the coalition forces in the Middle East in CoD4, and we can only presume the '30,000' are those killed in COD4's nuclear blast, including Sergeant Paul Jackson (who's death you experience in first-person). It's all a bit Metal Gear Solid, but we think Shepherd was working with Makarov for mutual gain. They both wanted Russia and America at war, and orchestrated the 'No Russian' airport incident together: hence why Allen is enlisted to the mission, accepted so willingly by Makarov and - ultimately - 'discovered' and killed.

Each month we go back and take a look at condo market sales here in Seattle as reported by the MLS.
We first take a look at the whole city of Seattle to get a general overview of our area's condo market and then we drill down by neighborhood using the MLS areas focusing on the areas that have the largest concentration of condos here in our city. Those areas we closely track are:
We then use this data and information to make forecasts and to help buyers and sellers make decisions on their real estate needs.
The Seattle Times reported yesterday that a San Francisco hotel developer is planning to construct a 50 story building at 5th Avenue and Stewart St in Downtown Seattle that will contain a hotel, some apartments, some condominium units and street level retail.
The land was acquired last year and the permits reveal plans to build a tower containing 90 apartments, 133 condos, and a 284 room hotel. The Design Review will take place on December 16th. The project sits on the south end of the site of what was once going to be Heron and Pagoda condominium towers and is just east of Escala Condominiums.
This combination of hotel, rental and owned units is new to our city and with anything new comes potential problems with lending. Lenders already have rules limiting the % of commercial space allowed, which would include the hotel rooms in this case as well as the retail, and having the apartments thrown in as another use could be just another complication for buyers trying to obtain conventional financing.
Whether or not these units will be delivered as condos and apartments is up to time to tell but we will keep you posted.

We met with the sales team for Salt, the new condominium building coming to Ballard, and here is an update on some of the specifics for the project that we learned during our meeting with Steven Snider. Thanks for your time Steve!

One Bedroom + 1 ½ Baths:
Two Bedroom + 1 Bath:

Live/Work Ground Floor units- with 18' Ceilings are One Bedrooms:
With the current easy going and relaxed approach to starting the sales off right away without a big grand roll out shebang and straight to purchase and sales agreements thereby avoiding the waiting list and reservation agreements, it will be interesting to see how the sales go compared to other new construction condo projects with official sales centers, and highly publicized grand openings. We'll keep you updated as sales continue and other specifics are determined by the developer.

August was an interesting month with the number of total sales of Seattle condos dipping from the previous month. The median sales price of a condo in Seattle last month was $299,000, which is up from July when the median price was $287,225. It's also up when compared year over year to the same month last year by about 1%.
It gets more interesting as we narrow in on each of the neighborhoods as we saw median prices up for the third month in a row over the same period last year in Ballard/Fremont. And two months in a row up from last year in Queen Anne/Magnolia. Where we saw median prices dip from year-over-year comparison to August 2013 was in both Capitol Hill and Downtown (areas 390 and 701).
On closer look, the number of new listings so far this summer has trended up to a peak of 483 new condo listings in June and then have slowly tailed off again in August with 443 new listings in Seattle as a whole last month.
But overall numbers of new listings across the board is lower than they were in 2013 still. Then this begs the question of how are sales numbers doing. You know, the old supply and demand thing, right? Well, sales in August dipped in Seattle as a whole, but in both Ballard/Fremont and Capitol Hill/Central, sales were up over last year's August numbers. So with sales up and number of listings decreasing we still seem to be trending toward a condo supply shortage continuing. Some people are talking about things slowing down just a bit, the condo numbers make me think things might just be starting to heat up.
The most impressive numbers in August were posted by Ballard/Fremont with a 16% increase in price on a Y-O-Y comparison to August of 2013 and sales increasing as well by 13%. That means prices are up and the number of sales is up. Some of this is likely due to the new construction condo buildings, Vik Condominiums and Solo Lofts, both in Ballard, who are seeing pre-sales happening now.
Additionally Queen Anne/Magnolia (area 700) posted some interesting improvements with median price up 6% on a Y-O-Y comparison to August of 2013. The number of sales however remained roughly the same compared to August 2013.
On the other end of things, median prices last month were down compared to August of 2013 in both the Downtown/Belltown (area 701) by 13% and in Capitol Hill/Central (area 390) by 6%. But both of these areas in previous months this summer posted some strong median price increases, so it just might be a small "leveling of the playing field" as we end the summer busy season. Inventory is still down in both those areas, so I predict we'll see pricing inch up again especially in downtown where the Nat Bosa project, Insignia, just announced they have already reached the 50% sold mark on the their 1st tower. These units of course do not show up on the "sold" side of things yet, but it's clear that buyers in Seattle are ok spending much higher than these median price points for location, high-end finishes and amenities.
The summary here is that we do need to pay attention to each neighborhood closely as they differ at different times of the year, and the new construction inventory in downtown at Insignia, as well as in Ballard at Vik Condominiums and Solo Lofts do have an effect on inventory and median prices, although that affect isn't directly known quite yet until those units start to close escrow in 2015.
As sellers, it's likely still a great time consider selling your condo, and for buyers the low inventory is still a predictor in my opinion that prices will continue to inch up into the fall real estate market. So buying sooner than later might be advantageous.

The south tower of the Insignia condominium project in Belltown is now officially over 50% sold. With 350 units, that means they have around 175 units in contract.
As for the construction of the 41 story tower, it has topped out on the south tower and the north tower is now coming up. The south tower should be ready to start closing in spring of 2015.
For hard hat tours, once you have signed a reservation you will be allowed into the building for a hard hat tour so you can see the space in person.

By Marco Kronen with Seattle Condo Review: A guide to Seattle downtown condos.
The MLS recently released its July stats for Seattle condo sales. As with all our market updates, first we look at Seattle as a whole from both a month-over-month comparison to previous months, as well as a year-over-year comparison. Then we break it down by the MLS area, focusing on our larger condo populated neighborhoods for a more specific look at what is going on in a particular neighborhood of interest based on a year-over-year comparison to see where things are compared to the same time last year.
July saw the total number of condo sales in Seattle increase to 256 sales, which was 5% over June and 7% over May. The year over year number of sales in Seattle, as a whole, for July was also 6% over last year at the same time.
This trend seems to be fairly consistent within the urban core neighborhoods in this report. From a pricing stand point, we did see median sales prices come in higher than the same period from last year in all the areas, except for area 390 which includes Capitol Hill. It's medial price for July was $282,000, which is 6% below July of last year. This dip might be making up lost ground though because Capitol Hill was showing increases over last year's numbers earlier this spring and summer, so this might just be a temporary slowdown on price increases.
We also saw a decrease in the number of new listings coming to the market in all of the MLS areas in this report except for Downtown/Belltown (area 701). Some of the increase in this area can be accredited to Insignia Towers' new construction community as they have brought many new listings to market. And those new pending and active sales count towards the total of listings coming to the market. Insignia posted 24 new listings total in July, of which 13 of those went straight to pending.
We'll see what happens to the number of listings and prices after Labor Day, where we usually see a bit of bump in activity and sales in our condo market once buyers, sellers and brokers are done with summer vacations and travels.
With so much construction activity in the South Lake Union, Denny Triangle, and the Downtown condo core, we wanted to highlight the sales in some of the buildings with the higher amounts of new listing and sold activity in the past few months. This month we'll recap the Cosmopolitan in Downtown.
Sold 1 bedroom breakdown
Sold 2 bedroom breakdown
Often we hear our buyer clients saying initially that they need a two bedroom condo. But if that 2nd bedroom is really going to only be used as an office, you should make sure the extra chunk of change you'll spend for a two bedroom is worth it for the occasional guest or an office space. One bedrooms with either a den or large living area might work for that office space.
By Marco Kronen with Seattle Condo Review: A guide to Seattle downtown condos.
Here is a true story of a client to help illustrate who should sell their condo right now~
The Client:
She is a single woman working in technology (no, not at amazon), very responsible with her money and has some savings. She is not an all cash investor or a long term Amazonian with 50% down, but she is like a lot of you, with maybe enough savings for 10%-20% down. She has a budget of maybe $2,400 a month max for a mortgage payment (including dues, taxes and insurance). She is looking for a nice one bedroom of average size (at least 650 sqft), with parking and storage, and in a building with some amenities like a gym and concierge staff. She wants a newer building. She wants to be close to downtown where she works, wants to walk to the market every weekend, maybe take a stroll along Myrtle Edwards Park with friend now and then and take a quick cab ride, long walk or light rail ride to a Mariners or Sounders game in Pioneer Square.
Sounds like a reasonable request of Seattle's downtown area condo market right? Does this sound like the condo that you own? Well guess what? This is the most common type of buyer we are seeing right now in Downtown Seattle. They want the Seattle lifestyle, to be close to activities, work and recreation, and it's important to them to be in nice building that is either new, or is updated and modern, feels safe, and will be a good investment in the event they need to relocate for work and need to sell in the future or keep it as a rental.
Why is this important to you if you own a Seattle condo in the Downtown area and are considering selling? Keep reading.
Drum roll, how many options does she have in the downtown area that fit this modest wish list?
Guess what, she only has 8 options, yes I said 8 options that fit right now. And of those, 2 are in buildings that are currently in litigation making buyer financing very challenging to impossible. That leaves 6 options left. Worse, if she only has 10% down, she only has 1 option right now.
Got your attention condo owners? If this sounds like the condo that you own and you have been thinking about selling, what the heck are you waiting for might I ask? We would love to hear your thoughts and trepidation about selling now. Feel free to comment and sound off.
Our Seattle condo real estate market in areas like Downtown, Midtown, Belltown, West Edge, and South Lake Union are a buzz with new jobs, new office buildings, biotech, startups, and new services. Buyers would likely receive your condo very well right now.
We very rarely push or "sell" our services on the Seattle Condo Review, but right now I feel it's my job and responsibility to say that if you are thinking about selling, please do reach out to your realtor, talk about your options and get your condo on the market for gosh sakes.
The Take Away:
If you own a condo that sounds like what this typical buyer is hoping to find, a modern spot in the sub $400,000 price range, supply is low and demand is high. It's a great time to sell and also to move up into something else while rates are low and before prices continue too far upward for you to get in on the buy side of things. And this case study talks specifically about the Downtown area, but other areas of Seattle are experiencing similar market conditions so this message applies to other urban areas as well with slightly different price points.
By Marco Kronen with Seattle Condo Review: A guide to Seattle downtown condos.
Continental Properties, the Developer of the Cosmopolitan in Downtown and Canal Station in Ballard, have purchased the lot at 2nd Avenue and Virginia St, directly to the south of the Cristalla Condominiums. They plan to build a 400 foot tall 300 unit building on the lot according to PSBJ and Continental Properties website.
This post is two-fold. View obstruction alert for Cristalla and One Pacific Tower Condominiums and to potentially announce a new condo building being built.
With this building being built just south of Cristalla, the outlooks of all of the units facing south will be affected. Also, the units in One Pacific Tower with east facing windows will also be impacted.
On Continental Properties website, they list this building under their condo header, and not their apartment header so we do have reason to believe that this might be constructed as condos although nothing is for sure at this point. Claudio Guincher, the head of Continental Properties, said they will watch the condo and rental markets and make a decision on whether or not to be condos by the fall.
By Marco Kronen with Seattle Condo Review: A guide to Seattle downtown condos.
Isn't our market supposed to have more condos for sale by this time of the year? I hear that question a lot these days, and in years past, the answer would be yes, but this is the new Seattle real estate market.
Over the past 18 months we have seen the level of on the market active properties steadily decrease (with the exception of some short bursts of new listings here and there). But we have seen the number of pending home sales slightly increase over the same period. This demand is mostly fueled by job growth locally which is causing a growth in our population as well. A recent report by the Census Bureau tells a story of Seattle being the fasted growing major populous city in the country from 2012 to 2013 at 2.8% growth which is roughly 18,000 people. Yes, I typed that correctly Seattle was THE fasted growing city. Our city also saw a growth of jobs by 15,000 during the same period according to Seattle's Office of Economic Development.
So with pending sales up (fueled by population and job growth), and the number of new listings coming to the market down, it's not hard to guess how the rest of our "busy season" will go this summer.
My prediction for the rest of 2014?
Hold on for a fun ride if you are a seller, and get your boxing gloves on if you are a buyer.

Water is an essential part of life and keeping hydrated is easy with any of these cool water bottles. A plain water bottle that provides you with water will do the job, but there are so many water bottle options on the market that are infused with other purposes like compartments to stash your smartphone or cash and the ability to filter or infuse water with flavors. Since a water bottle is something that's good to always have on hand, these extra features just make them that much more valuable.
Other artful bottles turn plain water into something that seems a little more decadent, like the '9OH2O' water, which is packaged like a luxurious wine. Bottles like these speak to just how precious this liquid is.

As Iceland volcano ash lingers over Europe, stranded travelers' patience wanes
The billboards at Heathrow, the airport with more international travelers than any in the world, said it all: Madrid: Cancelled. Dallas/Ft Worth: Cancelled. Istanbul: Cancelled. Hong Kong: Cancelled. Toronto: Cancelled. Sydney via Singapore: Cancelled.
And Costa Rica? Yes, yes, those flights are canceled, too.
"The information is not changing much," says a tired Kim McIntyre, a veterinarian from Washington with a big wheelie bag.
Most travelers, advised of the situation, had left Britain's airports, but those who were unclear about what was going on, or who had no money to go anywhere else, or who were simply desperate – milled around for a third day Saturday, lugging suitcases from here to there and back, and hoping the bizarre turn of events that messed up their plans would reverse itself and become right as suddenly as it had gone all wrong.

I started as a zygote but was pretty much bored out of my mind
(wait -- maybe I didn't have a mind at that point). After getting

I'm still suffering complete amnesia about the wonder years that
led up to my initiation into adulthood. (With your coaching I might
be able to recover some of it.) Now I've nearly finished my
postgraduate work in adulthood. Why not? I'm about as familiar with
the 'hood as anyone.

Ride Capo Snowboard Binding
Now U have 6 reviews 4 Capo's
I'm liking these bindings.Great feel of the board edges.The footbeds just feel good under your feet.I think that small mounting disk is a good idea,might be helping with board feel.I put them on a K2 raygun 156.The first time on them it was a little hard pack snow with some ice.Toe side turn great,heel side board felt like it wanted to kick from under me.Stopped and adjusted the highback one notch back and fixed the problem. After that the board rode great.The straps adjust fast and hold your boots good. I think if you buy these bindings you will like them.So far my favorite binding.

Sachin Tendulkar's return to the Mumbai Indians squad for today's match against Deccan Chargers looks uncertain, after he said on Twitter that the finger injury he sustained in the opening game against Chennai Super Kings did "not look good".
Tendulkar posted a photograph of the injured finger on his right hand and tweeted around noon on Monday.
Finger still not looking good. Had to aspirate blood from my finger twice in 4 days. yfrog.com/o0j2iduj
— sachin tendulkar (@sachin_rt) April 9, 2012
Tendulkar had to retire hurt on 16 after being struck on the glove by Doug Bollinger in the ninth over of the IPL's opening game between Mumbai Indians and Super Kings. He then missed Mumbai Indians' first home game, against Pune Warriors, and if he does not play today his next game could be against Rajasthan Royals on April 11.
Just before the start of IPL 2012, Tendulkar had handed over the leadership of the Mumbai Indians to Harbhajan Singh, because he wanted to take a "break from the responsibility of captaincy". Harbhajan had led Mumbai Indians to the Champions League T20 title last year and was an automatic choice to take over the captaincy.

Japanese Inventor's Motor Uses 80% Less Power
Huh (1095 comments)
Looking at the patents for this reminds me of something i saw once, that is that the field put out by one magnet in series drives another, in a circular chain this 'could' produce enough rotation to keep the housing spinning like a fairground carousel with the horses as magnet and no central engine. This was mentioned a long time ago as being a component of 'anti-gravity' device. Shape of magnet seems to be important which surprises me, in most of the considerations for such a device the magnet is 'birds head' moulded like yin and yang shape. If these magnet spin opposing each other then there *is* a force that is 'free', doing much with the energy would require huge transference technology (magnet and housing) as currently exist though surely?

Sovereign searches for time amid negotiations as payment deadline approaches
Argentina's attempt to service restructured bonds is an attempt to avoid violating an agreement that effectively bars the country from putting holdout creditors above restructured bondholders before 2015, analysts said on Friday.
The finance ministry said it wired a payment for $832m on dollar bonds on Thursday. Including local currency payments, the total was more than $1bn, it said. The presidency said the payment included a $539m transfer to BNY Mellon, which is responsible for passing the cash on to bondholders.
The sovereign is in a tricky situation, though, as it agreed with bondholders participating in its 2010 debt restructuring that it would not offer better terms to holdout creditors, without extending the offer to all bondholders. That agreement is dubbed the RUFO clause, and expires at the end of 2014.
"The initial response [to US court rulings] from Argentina has been to consistently defy the judgment," Jefferies analysts said in a research note on Friday. "However, some interpret this as purposeful to show that any final payment to the holdouts was "forced" as a litigated settlement that would not jeopardize the RUFO clause."
An investor told LatinFinance that Argentina's attempt to pay restructured bondholders could be aimed at avoiding being declared in technical default, but he said the decision may put the country in contempt of court.
The sovereign is thought to be negotiating with holdout creditors over a solution. It has a 30-day grace period from Monday to pay restructured debt before entering default.
"Though we expect a favorable outcome in the end, we suspect that the negotiations are likely to go to the wire – until the end of the 30 day grace period for the upcoming June 30 bond payment, likely testing market confidence that the situation will iron itself out," analysts at Morgan Stanley said on Friday.
For Argentina to avoid default will depend on goodwill from both sides, said Jefferies — either the holdouts supporting a stay on the court ruling, allowing the sovereign to service restructured bonds in the interim, or Argentina "showing some flexibility to pay before July 30".
Argentina's decision to continue servicing restructured bonds created much doubt on how the situation will unfold, said Deutsche Bank analysts on Friday. The sovereign is aware of the "terrible implications" of a default, however, the bank said.
"[Argentine] authorities seem to be willing to use all available political and legal means to gain time and negotiation space," said Deutsche Bank analysts. "Therefore, although the Argentine government continues to show willingness to pay all creditors, negotiations to settle a proper formula might take time and likely prevent full debt service next week."

The Message (MSG) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 Bildad the Shuhite again attacked Job: | 1 Then Bildad the Shuhite replied: |
2 "God is sovereign, God is fearsome - everything in the cosmos fits and works in his plan. | 2 "Dominion and awe belong to God; he establishes order in the heights of heaven. |
3 Can anyone count his angel armies? Is there any place where his light doesn't shine? | 3 Can his forces be numbered? Upon whom does his light not rise? |
4 How can a mere mortal presume to stand up to God? How can an ordinary person pretend to be guiltless? | 4 How then can a man be righteous before God? How can one born of woman be pure? |
5 Why, even the moon has its flaws, even the stars aren't perfect in God's eyes, | 5 If even the moon is not bright and the stars are not pure in his eyes, |
6 So how much less, plain men and women - slugs and maggots by comparison!" | 6 how much less man, who is but a maggot-- a son of man, who is only a worm!" |

text: Memories That Last a Lifetimeby Bryan CareyDec 18, 2000 (Updated Jan 28, 2006) The Bottom Line The roommate experience can be annoying but it can also be interesting. Good or bad, everyone should experience it. Who can forget their experiences in college? I sure can't, and when I noticed this editorial category here in epinions, I started to think back to my own experiences with college roommates. I graduated from high school in a small town in Ohio, and looked forward with enthusiasm to leaving the nest. I was always an independent thinker, and I didn't like the small- town, narrow- mindedness that was commonplace where I lived. I wanted to get away from all that and meet new people who were a little more wise to the ways of the world. So, I anxiously counted down my days to freedom. On Aug 19, 1984, I left my parents home for good, and moved into the college dorm at the University of Dayton. I didn't have any idea who my roommate was going to be, but I was confident that he would be someone who was more open- minded and more intelligent than the people I was used to living around. The Big Moment: I moved into my new home, a small room with bunk beds, a closet, a sink, and a desk built for two. I was the first to arrive. While I was unpacking my belongings, my new roommate showed up. He walked in with bags in hand, escorted by some of his family members. I was anxious to find out about this guy; anxious to get things situated in the dorm room, get rid of the parents, and head out to meet some women and drink some beer! But, alas, my hopes were shattered! My roommate turned out to be someone completely different than what I had hoped for. He was prudish, naive, vulnerable, trusting of authority, and quiet. In a nutshell, he was a complete bore! He represented exactly the type of person I was trying to get away from. Oh well, tough luck, huh? But not a problem! I decided I would just let him go his way and I would go mine. I can respect differences in people. While I don't prefer to associate with prudes, I don't mind if they want to be that way, as long as they respect my right to be the way I want to be. I ended up selecting my own group of friends and I ignored my roommate to the best of my ability. I only had to tolerate this situation for eight months. I was disappointed that my roommate wasn't more like me, but the situation could have been worse. At least he wasn't a heavy drug user, right? Summer Adventures: After freshman year was over, I needed to look for some new roommates to live with during the summer. All of the friends I had made that year went home for the summer. There was no way I was going to live at home again, so I started looking around for a place to stay. Finally, I noticed a "roommate wanted" advertisement, posted in the dorm. I quickly answered it, met the guys, and signed the lease. My summer was now all set! These guys were quite different from my freshman roommate. I didn't know when I first met them, but I was quick to discover that these three men had only one thing on their minds: partying!!!!!! All three of them were lovers of drugs, especially pot, which they smoked continuously, whenever the opportunity presented itself. Needless to say, they went through a lot of disposable lighters and a lot of food that summer! Back to School: For the fall semester, I once again found myself with my back against a wall. Everyone I knew had already found a place to live, and there were no vacancies available at their respective residences. So, once again, I had to go out and look for advertisements for roommates. They weren't difficult to find. The thing that bothered me was that I wouldn't know anything about the people I was living with. Would they be like my freshman year roommate in the dorm? Or, would they fit the other extreme, like the guys I lived with in the summer? Or, would they fall somewhere in between? Well, what I ended up with was a diverse group of guys: 4 roommates from completely different backgrounds. One was relatively friendly and easy going. One was a staunch atheist and a member of the army ROTC. The other two were very conservative and were not very tolerant of people who disagreed with them, regardless of how wrong these two might be. They were both completely inflexible in their thinking. It's shocking how this group of young men, so very different from each other, ever became friends in the first place. Things started out ok, but got a little ugly from time to time. One of the conservative guys, Dave, was quite a strange fellow, indeed. He was the type who would believe the earth was flat, if a person of authority said so. He and his other conservative buddy often got into some intense, emotional discussions with the rest of us in the house; debating such issues as abortion, poverty, religion, the proper role of government, and many other controversial issues. Final Years: I was happy when that year of turmoil came to an end. Needless to say, these guys did not ask me to live with them for the next year. I would have turned them down if they had asked me, anyway. After going through these extremes with different types of roommates, I finally got my chance to live with people who were more compatible with my own thinking and my own lifestyle. I moved into the Fraternity chapter house that following summer, where I stayed all the way to graduation. We had our disagreements and squabbles, like all roommates have. But it was nice to finally live with more "middle of the road" type men. I believe in the "work hard, play hard" philosophy. I think that a person should fulfill his/her obligations first, and then, if time and resources permit, they should let loose and do what they enjoy doing. That's exactly how my final roommates felt, too. They made sure their homework and other obligations were completed, but when it was, they were ready to tap the kegs and celebrate life! Closing Thoughts: As you can see, my experience with roommates pretty much covered the entire spectrum of personalities. I lived with prudes; drug addicts; conservative fanatics; and even an atheist. But would I trade this experience? Not at all! I think it helped enrich my life, by showing me first hand just how different people can be. If you're young, about to attend college, and your wondering whether or not having a roommate is the best way to go, my advice is to go ahead and do it! College is about living through new experiences; finding out about new things and ideas; thinking in new ways; and discovering things that you might never have known before. It's a time to experience and appreciate differences. Some, you will like, and others, you won't like. But it's still something that everyone should live through.

I just purschased Diablo 3 via g2a.com, you know the site that usually sells you fresh multiplayer games at reduced prices, now I've learned that their method is buying huge amount of CD keys, this way the can offer reduced prices.
My experience was like this:
- you gain a token.
- you enter their live chat.
- you wait for someone from their support to join the conversation (I've waited about an hour),
- Then the person from the support guides you throught all the way via screen sharing untill you enter the cd key they provide you in the live chat.
As a summary, I didn't like to wait a whole hour but then again I was at number 100 on queue;
Overall bought the game half priced and I think it's worth it.
As I understood you can also sell your CD keys that you own, this way you profit from a game you no longer play or ever going to play.
Have you ever used g2a? what was your experience? and what do you think of the whole concept?
IMO they give a good fight to Steam and GMG
