We're excited to announce our new partnership with Los Angeles based photographer extraordinaire, Matt Beard. Matt has spent the last 20 years capturing the visual essence of clients including Apple, Nike, Levis, Lucky Jeans, Sony, Maroon 5, and Cirque Du Soleil. To introduce you to Matt, here's a little Q&A session with our new friend. Enjoy some of Matt's tips, tricks and funny moments!
Tamrac: How did you get into photography?
Matt: I've always loved photography, even as a young kid I was experimenting with my folks 126 and 110 film cameras. In 9th grade, my parents lent me their 35mm canon A-1, and I started taking b&w photography classes at Venice High with Larry Shapiro…and the journey begins!
Tamrac: What is the one piece of camera equipment you always take with you?
Matt: My Canon 5D Mark2.
Tamrac: What advice would you give to aspiring photographers?
Matt: If you always produce the best work you can, every job will lead to another…and so forth.
Tamrac: What projects do you have coming up that you are excited about?
Matt: Can't say, top secret.
Tamrac: Do you have any unique or funny moments while shooting on location?
Matt: There's quite a few, especially from the assisting days. Once I was told that we were doing a top-secret photo shoot, and it was very hush-hush. NO cell phones allowed, and we couldn't reveal our location to anyone. I didn't know where we were going, or who we were shooting until we were about a mile away from the location. At first I thought we were photographing the president. But, it turned out to be Kobe Bryant's wedding. So I got to shoot at Kobe's wedding… pretty cool!
Tamrac: You get to meet and photograph a lot of really cool bands…what music do you enjoy listening too?
Matt: Oddly enough, I've always listened more to the news than to music. However, I really like a lot of different genres of music. I grew up with everything from Rock, Metal, Ska, Punk and Pop…to Hip Hop, House, Trance and Techno. I also love classical music, Jazz, swing, big band, reggae and rockabilly. I'm a fan of anything unique and creative, which has a feeling of the artist's soul in it.
Tamrac: What Tamrac gear do you use?
Matt: I use a Big Wheels SpeedRoller 2x, Rally 7 Messenger Bag, Zuma Compact and a Tamrac Medium Tripod Bag. I also have an older 692 Big Wheels Rolling StrongBox. It is still in really great shape after all these years and still works great. I also have a Tamrac Pro-9 Backpack that I've used for years, and love!
Tamrac: What do you love about your Tamrac bags?
Matt: They are affordable, easy to use, and they last a really long time. They are also fairly inconspicuous and can look more like regular luggage than a camera case…which helps with airline travel…and those run-and-gun guerrilla shoots.

Perfect size!
Labels are perfect size to cover the blue circle on the small York Peppermint Pattie, that we are using as wedding rehearsal dinner favors. We really love them!! UPS however did not do such a great job delivering them, as the envelope was crumpled and appeared to have been damp, causing damage to the labels inside.

Comments about VDO Cyclecomputing Vdo A4+ Wireless Computer:
I went with a wireless computer because I was trying to cut down on the wires on my fork. Also this allowed me to mount it on the top-tube instead of the handlebars, which was something I wanted to do.
I went with this model because I wanted but numbers for the current speed and current time.
I commute to work in the morning, so using the bike computer as a clock is a big benefit. The time is easy to read on this computer (as is the speed of course).
I did not care about calories, average speeds (not all that useful when sprinting from red light to red light in NYC)or the other 'advanced' features. I just wanted current speed, current time, total odometer, and trip odometer. And that is what I got!
You have to remember to press a button when the bike has been sitting for a few hours to turn the computer on.
It is very easy to twist on/off which makes it great for hopping into the supermarket. Especially in the winter with gloves on ... On the flip side, I have knocked it off a few times by accident.
Only real negative I have seen was on a few occasions (maybe twice) it has momentarily registered a speed that clearly seemed off. Then it self corrected.

Heyneke Meyer believes that with the right guidance Morné Steyn can make a Bryan Habana-type recovery and still contribute to the Springbok cause.
The overseas leg of the Boks' Rugby Championship campaign was a failure if you consider that they drew with Argentina and lost to both Australia and New Zealand. In all three matches, they could have won had they been more accurate with their kicks on goal.
Despite the poor record on tour, Meyer was in an upbeat mood and truly believes the Boks have made good progress. Regarding the problem around Steyn and his goal-kicking, Meyer still feels the flyhalf can add value, although the Bok coach is yet to decide whether Steyn will continue in a starting position.
Meyer compared Steyn to Habana, and believes the former can replicate the latter's return to form. Habana struggled in the 2010 and 2011 seasons before returning to his best in 2012, and Meyer hopes that in time Steyn will do the same.
'I don't want to knock individuals but the missed kicks were crucial,' Meyer said. 'Morné is mentally tough though and if you look at what happened to Bryan Habana, with the right guidance he is now playing phenomenal rugby again.
'I don't want to boost myself, but I've always been great at getting the best out of players and the mental break will do Morné well. We'll look at the situation after this weekend's Currie Cup matches and then decide who will play.'
Meyer added that the game plan used by the Boks this season, a playing pattern that has copped a lot of flak, was largely successful in Dunedin. Meyer has no intention of changing tact.
'The guys were very unhappy not to win, but sometimes we've played worse rugby in New Zealand and won, it was just the goal-kicking that let us down. Otherwise we did enough to win, it was the right game plan and we kept them under pressure, we just couldn't convert that into points.
'It was 3-5 at halftime, but it could have been 15-5 if we'd made our kicks, that would have built pressure and they would have had to chase the game. There's always criticism about the game plan, but I believe we got it 100% right. We had them under pressure.'
The Bok coach was also very pleased with the performance of his forwards, and said this was another major sign of progress.
'I thought we scrummed well and I'm very happy with our front row. The combination we used in the loose forwards was superb against the best loose trio in the world and we have four great locks going forward. I think it instilled that self-belief in the team that they can beat anyone anywhere.'

Summer Snaps! Wildlife Photography Workshops @NMC
Over the past two weeks we have been running family activities linked to the Veolia Wildlife Photographer of the Year 2012 Exhibition here at National Museum Cardiff.
Over 400 of you took part and it has been a fantastic fortnight of photographic fun! I've been busy uploading as many photos as possible to the NMC Photo Club Flickr page and I have to say they look great! When you visit the Flickr page the photos are organised into sets on the right hand side of the page so if you took part all you need to do is click on the date of your visit to the Museum and look for your name!
The photos will be going up on the screen in the Clore Discovery Centre in the Museum on Saturday the 8th of September so if you came to the workshops pop in to see your pictures on display at the National Museum!
I'd like to say a big thank you to Cat, Lauren and Catherine for all their excellent work in running the workshops and I'd like to thank everyone who came along to take part as well. Thanks!
Museum Challenge
Ten young people gave up four days of their summer holidays to help make our whale and turtle displays more family-friendly.
They signed up to the challenge through Cardiff's Summer Learning Festival, which invites 12-15 year olds to learn new skills in their spare time. They learned how to evaluate and exhibition, pick a good story, write interesting text and select objects to make a family friendly display.
Diolch i / Many thanks to:

Jones broadcasts the right message
Third District Congressman Walter Jones has been spot-on in calling for withdrawal from Afghanistan, the "Graveyard of Empires." His appearance on a Memphis, Tenn.-based syndicated show to urge withdrawal from Afghanistan and discuss his bill, HR 107, that cites Obama's illegal attack on Libya elicited the typical reaction from the Big Government Party's Democratic branch.
The so-called Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) and Anti-Defamation League (ADL) have branded the show on which Rep. Jones appeared as "racist." Of course, anyone who might disagree with these two groups is automatically racist. Never mind that both the SPLC and ADL are both hate-mongering groups that are no better than some of the groups they condemn. The SPLC, headed by one Morris Dees, is also a consummate shake-down organization. This being an election year, the Democrat's Onslow County sub-branch gleefully jumped into the fray and called for an "apology" from Rep. Jones.
Rep. Jones appeared on a program carried on a radio station duly licensed by the Federal Communications Commission. I have no problem with Rep. Jones (or, for that mater, the opposition) appearing on any program carried by a duly licensed station.
The importance of U.S. involvement in undeclared foreign wars and the role of the president (regardless of the Big Government branch) requires meaningful public discussion, something the mainstream media has deliberately suppressed in many cases.
It all boils down to what a retired Marine Corps general recently stated (and makes the SPLC and ADL comment irrelevant): "What do we say to the mother and father … the wife … of the last soldier or Marine killed to support a corrupt government and corrupt leader in a war that can't be won?"

Darwinists tying hands of discovery
An article on Sept. 25 stated that Bill Nye "urges parents not to pass their religious-based doubts about evolution on to their children." That displays remarkable ignorance of genuine religious beliefs. As a Christian, I don't "doubt" evolution; I know for a fact it is unscientific propaganda. Of course I teach that to my children, rather than the unchallenged pabulum put out by Darwinists. And it takes as much "faith" to believe in baseless evolution as it does to accept a Creator.
Space doesn't allow a thorough response, but let's start with: "Tennessee passed a law ... that protects teachers who let students criticize evolution. ..." The very idea that any theory can't be examined and criticized is unscientific and a common tactic of the evolutionist tyrants. Which begs the question, "What are they afraid of?"
But the biggest fallacy of this article is the idea that scientists who believe in a Creator are "not going to continue to innovate." Sir Isaac Newton; Max Planck, father of quantum theory; Dr. Raymond Damadian, inventor of the MRI; and countless other pioneering scientists believe(d) in a Creator. Even Einstein, who was not a Christian, believed there had to be a Creator. "I want to know how God created this world ... I want to know His thoughts ... ." About atheists he said, "In view of such harmony in the cosmos which I, with my limited human mind, am able to recognize, there are yet people who say there is no God. But what really makes me angry is that they quote me for the support of such views."
Just one example of Darwinists blocking innovation: Evolutionists coined the term "junk DNA" in reference to the large portions of the human genome they thought were "useless." Leading evolutionists thought continued study of the genome was foolish, and a waste of resources. (Are they afraid of evidence of how well-designed we are?) We now know, of course, that the genome and DNA are incredibly more complex than ever imagined, and scientists are continuing to discover the important functions of "junk DNA," especially in the field of disease research. So, who again is blocking innovation? The dogmatic Darwinists who insist on blindly following their religion are the ones tying the hands of discovery — not those who fearlessly acknowledge their Creator.

America morphs into land of needy
How many of the Pilgrims and Puritans came to America looking for entitlements, expecting to sit back and collect government checks? And all the immigrants from Europe, Asia, Africa and South America — didn't most of these people struggle to come to the "Land of the Free" to escape the economic tyranny of class division and religious repression in their native countries? Weren't they seeking the freedom to choose their own path to success, rather than being told what they could and couldn't do? I doubt that any of them came here thinking the government would take care of them and they wouldn't have to work to earn their living.
How did the United States of America become such a great and inspiring nation? Was it because people lay around collecting welfare checks, expecting others to take care of them? Was it because people turned up their noses at low-paying jobs because they felt entitled? Was it because people were irresponsible and dishonest in their business dealings? Was it because people didn't stand behind their word — that their handshake was meaningless?
And what about the poor, the aged, the handicapped, the unfortunate? Up until the last 50 years or so, it wasn't the government that took care of them. Rather, it was families, neighbors, churches and communities that pitched in to help the needy. Americans tend to be generous, sharing their wealth to help those in need, those in dire, catastrophic situations. We don't need a government that forces us to give away our earnings — too often taking our hard-earned money and giving it to the undeserving and to those who "use the system." We are happy to help worthy causes, and we are certainly capable of deciding how to donate our money — to those truly in need.
This country became great because people had the right to work as hard as they wanted, to be creative, and to spend — or save — their earnings as they saw fit. Those who chose not to work hard knew the consequences that would result from their lack of effort. Do we want to change this? Do we want our government constantly telling us what we can and cannot do, or what we can and cannot buy? Do we want a government that continues to spend and borrow recklessly — piling on more and more debt? Do we want a government of entitlements that encourages sloth, irresponsibility and blaming others for our problems? Do we want a government that is constantly taxing those of us who work hard to give to those who refuse to work? Do we want to give up our right to choose our lifestyle based on our work ethic?
I'd like for the United States to regain its greatness, with citizens who work hard and don't expect handouts from others, who live their live with integrity and honesty. Our votes in November will determine whether we (and future generations) continue to live free with the opportunity to build our lives based on our hard work, creativity and perseverance. The alternative is to become dependents of the government with no initiative, just sitting around waiting for a check.

Hope all but gone, change a disaster
Obama won the 2008 presidential election on two words — hope and change. Hope is all but gone and change has been a disaster for America.
Check this out: For the past four years the economy has gone in the tank. More jobs have been lost than created. The national debt has risen to $16 trillion. Forty-seven percent of Americans are on some type of social assistance. And — oh, yeah — Obamacare, if not repealed and allowed to take full effect in 2014, could cost America a great number of the doctors now practicing medicine.
I've had two local doctors tell me point blank that they will be leaving the medical field if Obamacare is allowed to take effect. Voters should ask their doctor or doctors what their plans are if Obamacare is not repealed.
Today, there are far fewer college students entering the medical field than ever before. Your readers should think how a shortage of doctors would affect them. What if their doctor quit practicing? How long would it take to find another doctor? How would this affect the quality of their health care?
However, there may be a way to avoid this situation. Republican candidate Mitt Romney has promised to repeal Obamacare if elected and to save the best health care in the world. So let's give Romney and Ryan a try and save the way of life that we know.

Kinston can live up to romantic ideals
I wonder how many of your readers know that long before couples used to meet on websites, there was something called, "Mail order catalog." My grandparents met that way. My grandmother, formerly Ruby Mae Tripp, was a school marm in a one-room schoolhouse between Kinston and Ayden. My granddaddy, a Texan, and soldier in the U.S. Calvary, fought with other of his Army comrades, and came back to the States with hopes of settling down. Letters between him and my grandma were not the instantaneous responses of today's courters, but nevertheless, the spark blossomed.
When on visits as a child, I sat at my granddaddy's side on their front porch in New Bern, and listened to his war stories, Texas tales, and experiences as a plumber at Cherry Point. There was another story I loved to hear and I'd have him repeat. It was of his anticipation to meet my grandmother, and their meeting at the train depot in Kinston. Now mind you, they didn't have pics texted to them so had very little idea what the other looked like, but essentially committed themselves to be wed.
He was wearing cowboy boots and a 10-gallon hat and said when he stepped out of the exit of the train and looked around, there were several young ladies peering at him, but one beautiful young lady edged toward him, with the prettiest long petticoats, and the most gorgeous big blue eyes he'd ever seen peer out from the brim of her bonnet. He had seen many people in various parts of the world and traveled many days and nights to meet this pen pal he fell infatuated with through her words and responses. And now he was so thrilled that she exceeded his expectations.
Granddaddy's romantic stories of Kinston remained in my heart as I traveled and lived in various states and visited other countries. My dad was in the military, and duty stations and deployments had me in 11 different schools prior to high school. I often wondered about Kinston and what such a romantic place with such community spirit would be like and how it would compare with the other places I lived. It wasn't until I had three kids that I decided to move to Kinston.
My kids, Charity, Jeremiah and Merry Faith, grew up with Kinston coaches, preachers and teachers shaping their lives. I'm appreciative of the positive role-models that have impacted our lives, the people that make the difference. After 16 years here my family is invested.
Whether romantic ideals, or full of community spirit or not, many of us have so many things to do we find it difficult to get them all accomplished, so to add another thing on our plate has to be something urgent or especially beneficial. So I take into account the many obligations and special interest endeavors Lenoir County residents are already absorbed with when I implore your readers to please attend tomorrow evening's (Monday, Oct. 8) Veterans Challenge Community Meeting at The Gate auditorium (corner of McLewean and Gordon streets), from 7-9 p.m. I assure you that you will be appreciated and you are needed to make a difference.

4 Tips on cheap furniture removals in Adelaide
July 25th, 2014
Moving house can be quite costly. Hiring a removalist like the A2B Removals, a cheap furniture removalist in Adelaide, to help you transport your stuff into the new place may cost you, but doing it yourself can even cost you more. At least, with a removalist service, you will be released from the tiresome burden of transporting your possessions from one place to another. You are also assured that your belongings will be handled by professionals, so they are secured. The question now is can you find an affordable furniture removalist company in Adelaide?
If you have a tight budget for removalists, then no more worries as it is possible to take advantage of furniture removalist service without spending too much. Just follow the tips below and you can save from house moving.
1. Pack early
One of the ways to cut cost for moving is by packing your belongings early. A month before your actual move, you should start wrapping and packing the things that will be delivered to your new home. Removalist companies can pack your stuff for you as part of their service. Nevertheless, if you do the packing ahead, it will be deducted from the cost of labour that will be charged by the removalist company.
2. Go minimal
The more things you will be bringing with you, the more expensive removalist fee it will be. Therefore, decide to get rid of the stuff that you do not need anymore. The old toys of your kids, that worn-out sofa in your room, and the dust-covered racks in your basement—just leave them behind or donate them somewhere. Aside from making it lighter for the removalists, it will also minimize your stress as unpacking and setting up your new house will be easier. Moreover, remember that your new home means a fresh start, so it will be great to get rid of the olds and bring in new ones.
3. Canvass for a cheap but quality removalist
To find a cheap furniture removalist in Adelaide, you can solicit pieces of advice from people you know. They could have used a removalist service before, and the company they worked with can be efficient. You can also compare companies for rates. A reminder though: do not take service quality for granted. Look for an affordable but quality-guaranteed removalist service.
4. Check for hidden charges
In looking for a furniture mover company, one of the things you should watch for is the possibility of hidden charges. There are some companies which offer a low rate upfront, but after the move the clients will be surprised with charges they have not been told yet. For this reason, before signing the contract with a removalist, clear this up with them first.
Moving to your new home does not have to be too costly. As long as there is right planning and early preparation, there are many things that can be done to minimize the moving expenses. Moreover, you can get removal assistance at low cost from A2B Removals Group, but make sure that the safety of your possessions is not sacrificed.

A Newton-Conover Red Devil is jumping from Gurley Stadium to Bank of America Stadium. Lineman Mike Comer is one of 10 high school athletes from the Carolinas on the field at halftime Dec. 19 as part of the Carolina Panthers Community Captain Program.
"This means a lot," Comer said. "Only 10 people out of North and South Carolina get the award. So, it's a pretty big deal."
The Community Captain program honors high school athletes with dedication to their sport as well as commit to improving their education while showing potential to excel.
Newton-Conover opened its season Tuesday with an easy win over St. Stephens. The Red Devils defeated the Indians 60-24 at Newton-Conover. The Red Devils led 21-3 after the first quarter and never looked back.
The Red Devils were up 35-10 at halftime and 46-20 after the third quarter.
Newton-Conover had three players score in double figures Tuesday. Kadesha Gibbs led with a game-high 17 points and had five rebounds. Shynese Whitener scored 12 points, and Quazzy Tipps contributed 10.
Lauren Simmons led St. Stephens with six points.
The troubles with the Maiden boys basketball program are no secret. The Blue Devils did not win a game the entire 2008-09 season, and they won only one in the 2009-10 season.
Maiden beat Fred T. Foard in December 2009 in a non-conference game at Maiden. St. Stephens badly beat Maiden in its next game, and the Blue Devils did not win a game the rest of the season.
They ended the season 1-23 overall. That one win, however, showed improvement to third-year head coach Doug Miller and the player. Now, they want to show their opponents the team is improved since then.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — It took one play for mystery man Brian St. Pierre to get the downtrodden Carolina Panthers in position for an upset.
Baltimore's stars, Ed Reed and Ray Lewis, responded with two big milestone plays to spoil St. Pierre's potential storybook day and put the Ravens in great shape in the AFC North.
Reed and Lewis each had interceptions that turned into touchdowns in the fourth quarter, Joe Flacco threw for 301 yards and a TD, and the Ravens overcame St. Pierre's 88-yard touchdown pass to beat the stubborn Panthers 37-13 on Sunday.
In his 2010 NFL debut, Panthers quarterback Brian St. Pierre tossed an 88-yard touchdown pass to bring his team within a touchdown of tying Baltimore.
Then, the Ravens collected two of his passes, returned them for touchdowns, and gave the Panthers the worst record in the NFL. With Sunday's 37-13 loss, the Panthers fall to 1-9, while Buffalo's 49-31 win over Cincinnati improved the Bills to 2-8.
Appalachian State ends the regular season with its toughest match in recent history. The Mountaineers travel to Gainesville, Fla., this week for a regular-season finale against the Florida Gators.
The Gators (6-4) need to beat the Mountaineers (9-1) to avoid their fourth-straight home loss. Florida has lost four of its last six games.
"Make no mistake about it, the team we're playing isn't some clown show," Florida coach Urban Meyer said. "This is a real one."
The tallest starter for the Newton-Conover Red Devils girls basketball team grew into a new role for the upcoming season. Kadesha Gibbs, a 5-foot-11 forward, has shifted from playing like a small forward to more of a power position — occupied last season by graduated senior Renee Lewis.
"I know I have some tough shoes to fill," Gibbs said. "I just have to work hard and give everything I got."
Hickory soccer coach Brian Jillings had a message to his team Wednesday night before taking the field at home against Charlotte Catholic in the 3-A West region final. He wanted his team to make it memorable.
"Now we have to do it all over again," he said.
The Red Tornadoes scored two goals in the first half and hung on the rest of the match to defeat Charlotte Catholic 2-1. Hickory plays at 1 p.m. Saturday at N.C. State against the winner of the 3-A East final between Jacksonville and Raleigh Cardinal Gibbons.
The Fred T. Foard Tigers wrestling team made a quick turn around in the past three seasons. The Tigers went from a struggling team before coach Mike Carey got there in 2008 to sharing the 2009-10 Northwestern 3-A/4-A conference title with St. Stephens and Alexander Central in his second season as coach.
"I think we have a really good chance to be one of the state contenders," senior Caleb McRorie said. "We started from nothing, and now we are one of the top teams in the state. Hopefully, we can keep going up."
The Catawba Valley Buccaneers attempted a furious comeback, but they fell short. The Buccaneers hit several 3-pointers in the closing minutes of their game Monday at home against Spartanburg Methodist College and pulled close.
Spartanburg Methodist made 1 of 2 free throws, and the Pioneers defeated the Buccaneers 59-55 at CVCC's Multi-Purpose Complex.
Spartanburg Methodist was 16-of-18 shooting Monday night from the free-throw line, and CVCC made only 3 of 11 attempts.
Bennie Mozingo led Spartanburg Methodist with a game-high 14 points. D.J. Brown scored 10.

New Coffee: Excellent Colombias and a New Ethiopia
Colombia Finca La Esperanza - Brayan Joven is such a complete coffee, dynamic yet well balanced, top notes that seem to multiply as the cup cools. Characteristics range from Honey sweetness, to plum and cherry fruits, to a fruit-juice acidity - a real standout, suited for competition! We've begun to work with a new intermediary in Colombia, gaining us access to producer groups new to us. This first container is nearly all from one group in the Timaná region of Huila, and I have to say, quality is more than up to par, a few exceeding our expectations.
Sweet Maria's Container Sampler - Colombia 10 x 1LB samples of each lot of coffee that was in this Timaná container. Not every coffee will be available on SM (we buy for Coffee Shrub too!), so this is truly the only way you will be able to try all of these coffees. There's only 150 available, and so we are limiting 1 per household.
Colombia Organic Tres Parques - Apia is a fruit forward Colombia, long sweetness, and brightening acidity.

Reader Question: We sold a home in Feb. 2013. We received a pre-approval letter from the buyer's lender in March. Because of the buyers pre-approval, we went out and purchased a home and put a $5,000 deposit down.
The "old" home sale did not close on the designated closing date because the lenders dragged their feet looking into their financial standing. The "new" home was to close a few days later. Because it did not (we needed the money from our closing), the sellers of this other house said we were in breach of contract, took back their home and kept the $5,000 deposit. Is the lender responsible because of their pre-approval? We would like to recover this $5,000 deposit. We are both seniors on a fixed income — not wealthy. Any suggestions on how we can recover the deposit? Jim D.
Monty's Answer: Hello Jim, and thanks for your question. While it occurs more often than people realize, it is disturbing to hear about people losing deposits. Initially, contact your attorney to receive a professional opinion based on the contract signed with the seller. The information provided here is helpful, but I am not an attorney, and the rules on deposits vary from state to state. I do suspect your attorney will say the lender is not responsible for the loss of your deposit, but I am unsure what his advice will be regarding the seller keeping your deposit.
The real estate agent's a candidate.
Was there a real estate agent involved? If they wrote a contract that was not "subject to the closing of your current home," a source of re-payment may be from the agent and the agent's broker. Whether the agent was representing the seller or a buyer's agent, there is a legal obligation to treat both parties fairly. A consumer may not be expected to know that a pre-approval letter is not a loan commitment, but a real estate agent would be expected to know it.
If the transaction took place with no help from a real estate agent or attorney, unfortunately, there is no one else to blame here but you.
The second time around.
If your buyer has a well-written "subject to financing" contingency and has a deposit on your home, keeping their earnest money is not an option. It is possible your buyer may not be able to complete the transaction. If that is the case, is it possible to sell your old home for $5,000 more the next time? Real estate transactions "crater" all the time. The home will sell for more, or it will sell for less, but rarely will it sell for the same amount as it did the first time. The market is bouncing back in many areas of the country and lenders are less frightened than they were earlier this year. It could be the "second time around" will produce better results.
The second, second time around.
When your old home is ultimately sold, try to repurchase the same home for $5,000 less than the first time. While it may no longer be on the market, if it is, the seller may be having second thoughts about dumping a buyer so quickly if their motive to sell is strong and they have not been able to replace you.
A Real estate transaction is a complex and volatile business process with many moving parts that can wreak havoc on the participants, seemingly from out of nowhere.

Research Summary
The focus of my research is genomic instability and how it leads to the mutations that result in human diseases such as cancer. The goal of one of the projects in my laboratory is to understand how DNA polymerases synthesize DNA accurately, and how they make mistakes that result in mutations. We study DNA mammalian DNA polymerase beta (Pol ß) because it was a relatively small, single subunit enzyme that could be easily manipulated and purified. My laboratory developed a method for assessing the activity and accuracy of rat Pol ß in bacteria. This led to the identification of a number of variants of Pol ß that synthesized DNA inaccurately. Our focus upon detailed biochemical characterization of variants of the Pol ß protein has shown that single amino acid residues that are quite distant from the active site of the enzyme are very important for accurate DNA synthesis. We found that many of these residues act at a distance in DNA positioning, nucleotide binding, and by influencing the rates of conformational changes that are important for accurate DNA synthesis. A second project is focused upon tumor-associated variants of Pol ß. Pol ß functions in base excision repair. The base excision repair system is responsible for removal of at least 10,000 DNA lesions per day. Interestingly, the Pol ß gene appears to be mutated in a large percentage of tumors. We have found that expression of the tumor-associated variants in mouse cells results in cellular transformation that has a mutational mechanism. We have shown that some of the Pol ß variants synthesize DNA inaccurately and others have no catalytic activity, but can bind to DNA and interfere with its repair. Our results suggest that the variants compromise base excision repair and lead to the induction of mutations, and suggest that base excision repair itself is a tumor suppressor mechanism. These studies impact our fundamental understanding of DNA repair and have the potential to lead to the design of targeted cancer therapeutics.
Extensive Research Description
A major goal of the research conducted in my laboratory is to study the relationship between mutations and cancer. Therefore we concentrate our efforts on studying the mechanism of mutagenesis by a DNA polymerase, polymerase § (Pol §). We employ genetic screens to identify amino acid residues of Pol § that function in promoting the fidelity of DNA synthesis. The Pol § mutant proteins identified in these screens are then analyzed using kinetics to determine the mechanism(s) Pol § employs to synthesize DNA accurately.
We also study the cellular role of Pol § and have shown that Pol § participates in base excision repair and in the process of meiosis. We are pursuing these studies to determine how Pol § makes errors during base excision repair and to identify the role of Pol § in meiosis.Pol § IgG stains discrete foci on mouse chromosome homologs during prophase I of meiosis in mouse spermatocytes. Mouse spermatocytes in early prophase. A, B) Nucleus in late zygonema. Pol §-stained nuclei (red) are on the left; Pol § and Cor I-stained nuclei (white) on the right. C) Nucleus in mid-pachynema. Merged image of Pol § and Cor I-stained nucleus. D) Nucleus in late pachynema and proceeding into diplonema. Merged image of Pol § and Cor I-stained nucleus. Control experiments done in parallel with equivalent chromosomal spreads using preimmune serum or Pol §-depleted IgG fractions yielded no detectable staining (data not shown).

I want to learn how to develop Mac apps.
by Alegoo92 - 2/3/07 6:56 PM
Yeah, I'm actually extremely interested in learning to develop applications (Mac only) as a hobby. I have some really great ideas, but barely a clue on how to put them to use.
As a HS student, my budget isnt exaclty high... in fact the roof's just about at the level of my head.. so spending little or no money is an important factor.
My house has an intel machine, but my personal one that I'd be using is an iMac G5 17" 1.9 GHz machine with just 512 MB of ram and a 160 GB HD with about 80 GB left.
Where should I go/what should I do/what should I buy to learn to develop?
Thanks in advanced

Groovy is a great language just on its own in various scenarios. It is also extremely useful in mixed Groovy/Java environments. With this in mind, Groovy has been designed to be very lightweight and easy to embed into any Java application system.
There are three main approaches for natively integrating Groovy with Java. Each of these is discussed in more detail below.
Alternatively, you can use the Bean Scripting Framework to embed any scripting language into your Java code, giving you other language options if you needed them (though we can't imagine why ). Using BSF allows you to be more loosely coupled to your scripting language; however, native integration is more light weight and offers closer integration.
Evaluate scripts or expressions using the shell
You can evaluate any expression or script in Groovy using the GroovyShell.
The GroovyShell allows you to pass in and out variables via the Binding object.
|Code Block
// call groovy expressions from Java code Binding binding = new Binding(); binding.setVariable("foo", new Integer(2)); GroovyShell shell = new GroovyShell(binding); Object value = shell.evaluate("println 'Hello World!'; x = 123; return foo * 10"); assert value.equals(new Integer(20)); assert binding.getVariable("x").equals(new Integer(123));
Evaluate Scripts with a Common Base Class
It is often useful to make your groovy scripts extend a base class of your choosing so that the script can access common methods. This can be achieved by setting the script base class property on the compile configuration and passing this new compiler configuration to the shell.
|Code Block
class ScriptBaseTest { @Test void extend_groovy_script() { def configuration = new CompilerConfiguration() configuration.setScriptBaseClass("ScriptBaseTestScript") def shell = new GroovyShell(this.class.classLoader, new Binding(), configuration) assertEquals shell.evaluate("foo()"), "this is foo" } } abstract class ScriptBaseTestScript extends Script { def foo() { "this is foo" } }
Dynamically loading and running Groovy code inside Java
You can use the GroovyClassLoader to load classes dynamically into a Java program and execute them (or use them) directly. The following Java code shows an example:
|Code Block
ClassLoader parent = getClass().getClassLoader(); GroovyClassLoader loader = new GroovyClassLoader(parent); Class groovyClass = loader.parseClass(new File("src/test/groovy/script/HelloWorld.groovy")); // let's call some method on an instance GroovyObject groovyObject = (GroovyObject) groovyClass.newInstance(); Object[] args = {}; groovyObject.invokeMethod("run", args);
If you have an interface you wish to use which you implement in the Groovy script you can use it as follows:
|Code Block
GroovyClassLoader gcl = new GroovyClassLoader(); Class clazz = gcl.parseClass(myStringwithGroovyClassSource, "SomeName.groovy"); Object aScript = clazz.newInstance(); MyInterface myObject = (MyInterface) aScript; myObject.interfaceMethod(); ...
This works fine if the Groovy class implements the inferface MyInterface. myObject can from then on be used as every other Java object implementing MyInterface.
One thing to remember is that the parseClass will try to create an object from your String fileName. Another way to do the gcl.parseClass is:
|Code Block
Class clazz = gcl.parseClass(new File("SomeName.groovy");
Full Example:
|Code Block
TestInterface.java public interface TestInterface { public void printIt(); } Tester.groovy public class Tester implements TestInterface { public void printIt() { println "this is in the test class"; } } TestClass.java -- inside of a method String fileName = "Tester.groovy"; GroovyClassLoader gcl = new GroovyClassLoader(); Class clazz = gcl.parseClass(new File(fileName)); Object aScript = clazz.newInstance(); TestInterface ifc = (TestInterface) aScript; ifc.printIt();
Note that all of the error handling has been removed -- you won't be able to do this in a java class. I actually use the Interface invocation for Groovy inside of a Utility Class.
The GroovyScriptEngine
The most complete solution for people who want to embed groovy scripts into their servers and have them reloaded on modification is the GroovyScriptEngine. You initialize the GroovyScriptEngine with a set of CLASSPATH like roots that can be URLs or directory names. You can then execute any Groovy script within those roots. The GSE will also track dependencies between scripts so that if any dependent script is modified the whole tree will be recompiled and reloaded.
Additionally, each time you run a script you can pass in a Binding that contains properties that the script can access. Any properties set in the script will also be available in that binding after the script has run. Here is a simple example:
|Code Block
output = "Hello, ${input}!"
|Code Block
import groovy.lang.Binding; import groovy.util.GroovyScriptEngine; String[] roots = new String[] { "/my/groovy/script/path" }; GroovyScriptEngine gse = new GroovyScriptEngine(roots); Binding binding = new Binding(); binding.setVariable("input", "world"); gse.run("hello.groovy", binding); System.out.println(binding.getVariable("output"));
This will print "Hello, world!".
Embedding a Groovy Console in a Java Application
An interactive Groovy interpreter can be embedded in a running application for experimentation and testing. For a tutorial on how to do, including example code, see the cookbook example Embedding a Groovy Console in a Java Server Application.
An example for the integration of Groovy as scripting language into an application can be found at Integrating Groovy in an application - a success story
Runtime dependencies
As well as Java 1.4 and the Groovy jar we also depend at runtime on the ASM library constituted of five jars (asm-2.2.jar, asm-attrs-2.2.jar, asm-analysis-2.2, asm-tree-2.2.jar, and asm-util-2.2.jar) plus the ANTLR library (antlr-2.7.5.jar). That's it. So just add these 7 jars to your classpath and away you go, you can happily embed Groovy into your application.
Alternatively, instead of several jars, you can use groovy-all-1.0-beta-x.jar included in the GROOVY_HOME/embeddable directory of your distribution: this jar contains both Groovy and ASM combined in a single and convenient archive, with the ASM classes in a different namespace, so conflicts with other libraries also using ASM will be avoided

U.S. Agency for International Development
Maria Price Detherage is the Deputy Chief Human Capital Officer at the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). She provides executive leadership for strategic human capital management and partners with key stakeholders to develop and implement innovative and transformational human resource policies, procedures, and programs that serve all staff, including Civil Service and Foreign Service. Prior to joining USAID in April 2013, she was the Director of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' (HHS) Strategic Programs Directorate and the Deputy Chief Human Capital Officer. In that capacity, she worked to enhance HHS programs internally and to expand on its presence and impact with other federal agencies, as well as the private sector and academia, by providing executive-level oversight for the Department's Strategic Human Capital Management.
In August of 2005, she was appointed by the HHS Secretary to serve as the first Executive Director for the then newly created Office of Medicare Hearings and Appeals (OMHA). OMHA provides an independent forum for the fair and efficient adjudication of Medicare appeals for beneficiaries and other parties. This mission is carried out by a cadre of over seventy (70) Administrative Law Judges with the support of a professional legal and administrative staff. In this process, beneficiaries are able to get health care faster with more consistent coverage determinations – thus reducing time and waste in the Medicare program and, therefore, producing a dramatic improvement in the American health care delivery system. As the Executive Director for OMHA, Maria provided executive leadership in the areas of policy development and implementation of Medicare appeals procedures, human capital management, budget formulation and execution, personnel security, training and development, and information technology. After this 5 year hiatus, she returned to the Office of Human Resources in December of 2010.
Prior to August 2005, as the Director of Labor and Employee Relations Programs for HHS, Maria provided corporate oversight for these programs and was intricately involved in the planning, strategy, and execution of most of the Department's major initiatives affecting numerous HHS Agencies, including the Center for Disease Control (CDC), the National Institutes for Health (NIH), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the Administration for Children and Families (ACF), the Center for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS), and Indian Health Service (IHS). In 2005, she also wrote the "HHS Rural Outreach Strategy" as part of her Senior Executive Service (SES) Candidacy Development Program rotation with the HHS Office of Intergovernmental Affairs and White House Liaison. She has also served as a mentor to several in the subsequent HHS Senior Executive Service (SES) Candidate Development Programs, Emerging Leaders Program, and Department-wide Mentor Program.
Maria began her federal career in 1989 as a Graduate Fellow in HHS's Center for Management Excellence where she served as an internal consultant to the Department's policy arm on Equal Employment Opportunity and Labor Relations. She holds a Masters of Science in Industrial/Organizational Psychology and a Bachelors of Science in Psychology with a concentration in Group Dynamics. Maria taught "Effective Management Tools and Techniques for the year 2000 and beyond" at the USDA Graduate School. She is a trained mediator, facilitator and certified arbitrator with the Better Business Bureau. She is also a member of USAID's Senior Executive Service (SES), the Federal Executive Institute Alumni Association, the American Association of Arbitrators and Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated, where she serves as chair of the Global Poverty Committee. She has been recognized in the "1999 Edition of "International Who's Who of Professionals" and has served for many years on the Executive Board of the Executive Women's Golf Association, Southern Maryland Tri-County Chapter, as Vice President and Leadership Chair.
Maria also leads global volunteer trips, working side-by-side to build relationships with members of our indigenous partner communities worldwide¸ as part of the Global Citizens Network cadre. Prior to joining USAID and in her personal (non-work) capacity, she had traveled to over 45 countries, learning and appreciating cultural diversity and commonalities. Most recently, Maria was awarded the "2013 International Women's Day Award" for her local and international work in global poverty. In addition to being a federal public servant, she considers herself a global citizen, global volunteer, and a social entrepreneur.

Mortgage rates are on the rise; what does this spell for the home sales market.
Since the real estate market crash, the fed has been keeping interest rates extremely low. But this cannot keep going on forever and a bit of the inevitable rise seems to be on its way.
An article by Alexa Fiander:
Mortgage rates for 30-year fixed mortgages rose this week, with the current rate borrowers were quoted on Zillow Mortgage Marketplace at 4.21 percent, up from 4.11 percent at this same time last week.
The 30-year fixed mortgage rate steadily rose last week, peaking at 4.27 percent on Monday before dropping slightly to today's rate.
"Rates rose on Monday to levels not seen since mid-January, as the situation in Ukraine appeared to improve and Friday's jobs report beat expectations," said Erin Lantz, director of mortgages at Zillow.

Men's Lacrosse Wraps Up Spring Break Trip with 23-4 Whipping of Florida Tech
March 13, 2012
MELBOURNE, F.L. - A dozen different players found the back of the net as Pfeiffer University thumped Florida Tech 23-4 in non-conference men's lacrosse action on Tuesday afternoon. The Falcons, led by James Shepherd's five goals, improve to 6-3 on the year while the Panthers fall to 0-8.
In the first half of play, 15 of the game's 16 goals belonged to Pfeiffer as Steven Tilmon started things off just 1:11 into the contest. This week's league player of the week Cole Paciejewski followed with his first of the day while Shepherd hit three minutes later. Shepherd would score the final goal of the first quarter as the Falcons held a 7-0 lead through the initial 15 minutes.
Tucker Hammock, Shepherd, Robert Hope and Jeff Konko would each strike in the second quarter before the Panthers got on the board with a Ryan Bailey goal. Pfeiffer would score the next ten-straight leading into the third quarter. Paciejewski and Hammock would each tally final goals in the early stages of the fourth while Christian Isola scored Florida Tech's final three.
Pfeiffer dominated 38-20 in shots and held a +25 margin in groundballs 44-19. The Falcons now have a week off before opening up a stretch of four-straight at home beginning with region-rival Wingate next Wednesday at 4:00 p.m.

Boot camp-style exercise classes have become popular with people who like to burn calories while breathing fresh air in a public park. But Gastonia is putting its foot down on the activity here for the time being. City recreation leaders have taken issue with for-profit groups that host the events, without reserving space, notifying the city beforehand or paying any type of fee.
That decision didn't sit well with Jennifer Armstrong, founder of About Face Bootcamp, who hosts classes and touts the benefits of turning a public park into an outdoor gym. When city officials told her she'd have to temporarily stop holding such events at Gastonia's parks last month, she said she didn't appreciate their attitude. "My thoughts are that they're public parks and people should be able to use them," she said. "We also rank high up there in obesity. People need to get active. Gastonia needs to get active."
About Face Bootcamp brings clients outdoors for the majority of the workouts they sign up for, including boot camp, mud run training, basic training and group runs. Classes are held at locations such as Lineberger Park and Rankin Lake Park in Gastonia, Stowe Park in Belmont, and Goat Island in Cramerton, among other sites. The activities appeal to people who find gyms and fitness equipment intimidating, and others who enjoy getting fit while being outside in a supportive group. Armstrong points out that your body and a park bench or a set of stairs are typically all you need to get a good workout.
Beyond that, there are other concerns. On a recent Saturday, Armstrong's group was involved in bringing more than 100 people to participate in a boot camp-style class at Rankin Lake Park, Dellinger said. The city felt it should have known about that ahead of time, he said, particularly when it's renting picnic areas and other facilities to paying groups for family reunions and get-togethers.
"Those (exercise classes) are fine in areas where limited parking's not a problem and there are no issues with park rentals for other functions," he said. "I don't want to call it an unauthorized use, but it's still a non-scheduled use we don't know about."
City ordinances also state that parks and public spaces can't be used for personal gain, such as sales of merchandise or services, Dellinger said. When they are, the city typically works out an agreement with the vendor and charges some type of usage fee. "If you're going out there and teaching one or two kids how to play tennis, and all the other courts are available, we're not going to come up there and ask about it," said Dellinger. "But if you've got a camp going with 40 kids and you're taking up eight courts, that's something we'd have to ask about."
The city wants to support such healthy initiatives and recognizes its benefits, he said. "We want to see people get out and be active too," said Dellinger. "But when it involves personal gain, we've got to protect the city's interests."
Armstrong said she appreciates the more welcoming reception she's gotten from places such as Cramerton, where no such concerns have been raised. There's also enhanced safety when people work out in numbers as opposed to jogging alone, for example — another point that should appeal to cities, she said. "Honestly, I love doing business with people who celebrate that you're there," she said.
Gastonia recreation staffers plan to consult the city attorney and human resource risk management department for advice on setting up a fee schedule and formal policy. Armstrong said she's not writing off working with Gastonia, paying what she must, and holding classes at its parks in the future. "The bottom line is I really want to see Gaston County healthy and fit so we can be more productive," she said. "If they're on that page, I'd love to work with them."
