Request boat comparison information on 4 boats
Thanks all of you who posted. I came close to buying the 1970 Ericson 35, because it looked great in the pictures, the reviews were good, it had engine, standing rigging, most electronics replaced, recently painted professionally, etc. However, upon close questioning, the owner mentioned that the only one thing that he had not done was investigate/correct the "minor deck delamination" mentioned in the 1999 survey when he bought the boat. As there is too much hardware mounted on the foredeck, he decided he couldn''t find the leak, and has been "keeping any eye on it, but it isn''t at all spongy". Given that it has probably gotten alot worse over the past 6 years since then, I decided that despite the many positives, this is not the right boat for me at this time.
As a caution to others, the owner had had a survey done in July, 2005, which he kindly sent me, which did not mention the deck delamination. It was a survey done for insurance purposes, so less detailed than one that might be for a purchaser--therefore, don''t assume that all surveys are equal or comprehensive.
So my search for either an Ericson or Aloha 30 - 35 on the west coast (BC)continues. Fortunately, I''m not in a hurry, as I currently own a smaller boat, so I''ll wait until the right boat comes along.
Thanks for all your replies. This advice is very helpful.

What's a name? Or more specifically, what's in an abbreviation? Over the years, gamers have adopted common, quick identifiers for their favorites systems like NES, SNES, N64, PS2, PS3, PS4 and 360. But what to do with Xbox One? There's still no clear front-runner for how the system's name should be shortened. The XB1? The One? I'm not even sure how to refer to it half the time in articles.
But right after the system premiered alongside its laundry list of consumer-unfriendly features (almost all of which have since been changed), gamers came up with their own identifier, the Xbone. The term stuck, and you'll still see the Xbox One referred to as the Xbone all across the internet to this day. Now, Microsoft has tried to at least secure the term on the web to some degree, as they've recently purchased the Xbone.com domain name. No, it wasn't set up as a dig at Microsoft, rather, the domain has existed since 2000, where I have to assume it was purchased as a possible future porn site name.
Right now, the site redirects to a Bing search page for the Xbox One. I supposed redirecting to the actual Xbox One site directly would imply that Microsoft is acknowledging the term as legitimate, instead of one that requires a "Did you mean…?" clarification. Some at Microsoft are none too pleased with the existence of the nickname at all, like Major Nelson, who had this to say about the issue on NeoGAF.
"I don't like it," he said on September 9th. "It disrespects the teams that have put in thousands of hours (already) into the development of the product. Sure, it's cheeky but I don't care for it myself."
It was two days later that Microsoft acquired the domain.
Yes, the term is meant to be a dig at the system, but I've almost caught myself using it out of convenience, as it flows off the tongue easier than XB1 or just "One." But hey, at least it's not the "Wii U," and many worse names could have been chosen.
We'll have to wait and see how long "Xbone" sticks around, and if and when consumers forgive Microsoft for their earlier transgressions, if a more respectful term takes its place.

Disable built-n Freeview on Sony Bravia

Posted October 8, 2010 at 8:06PM
I have a Sony Bravia 46" LCD tv with in-built Freeview. the problem is that the Freeview programs are seen as sliding Ghost images behind Sky programmes, removing the Antenna simply results in a degraded picture (causesd by the "snow" with no incoming signal)
Is it possible to shut down the Freeview, (not needed because I have Sky).

Posted October 9, 2010 at 12:26AM
If you have the aerial cable going through the sky box and then to the TV the first possible cause of ghosting would be the RF channel of the sky box is close to a TV channel and needs changing.
The simplest solution would be to remove the aerial cable from the shy box this prevents ghosting from the RF channel.
The second possible cause would be a cheap scart lead, faulty scart lead or bad connections either at the TV or sky box. Try reseating the lead or trying a different lead.

I do know that selecting alternate inputs should switch to that channel/input e.g Freeview is on one Sky is on another and the DVD is on yet another BluRay uses the HDMI input all scart inputs i.e Sky and DVD are controlled by an electronic switching device and Freeview has to be selected via the TV's own menu, when Sky is selected the Freeview tuner ghosts behind it. You may well be right that the set is defective.

The Freeview channel should not be shown if you have selected an alternative input source, such a Scart or HDMI. The only suggestion I can make is that the set is faulty. I would consult your supplier.

Domino Developer, Architects Discuss Project Details, Context of Brooklyn Waterfront Makeover
Friday, March 15, 2013
Nicole Anderson.
Developer Jed Walentas of Two Trees Management Co. stood up in front of a packed house at a community forum in Williamsburg last night to discuss his ambitious new redevelopment plans for the Domino Sugar Factory Refinery. Citing his family's history in DUMBO, Walentas told the beer-sipping, tattooed crowd that his intention is to "build an extension of the neighborhood" that is "socially contextual." The new plan incorporates significantly more commercial and office space, which Walentas says won't financially benefit Two Trees, but speaks to his company's philosophy and intent to draw from and embrace the historic and cultural fabric of Williamsburg.

With oil prices on the way down, what kind of hedging strategy should be used? Mike Halls reports.
fuel hedging
To gamble or not to gamble, that is the question the
aviation industry is facing over its fuel bills this year.
Should they hedge – even when oil prices seem to be
firmly on their way down – and waste money, or lock
into higher prices as a kind of insurance?
Given that a $1 increase in the price of jet fuel adds a
further $1.6 billion to the annual fuel bill of aviation
globally, this is a big decision to make.
Some airlines, such as Ryanair, have announced that they are
totally unhedged, seeing last year's oil spike as a one-off.
While others, such as Iberia and Lufthansa (see table),
are keen to try and lock in some certainty to their fuel
The market view on lower prices has become deafening. Since
late last year, equity analysts have been revising their stock
estimation for airlines' profits upwards, based on a...

"I was afraid to choreograph songs on my own. My father would force me to choreograph a song on my own. I learnt a lot that way"
Dance master-turned-actor-turned-director Prabhu Deva came under the media scanner last week when he announced his debut directorial venture in Tamil with actor Vijay in the lead.
Prabhu Deva talks about his rise from dancer to director.
I am a happy-go-lucky guy. I can adjust to any situation. A few years ago I used to be short tempered. But, now I have become mature.
I am a workaholic and carry out my duties with full concentration.
I wanted to join the navy when I was in school. I was undecided about my career.
I once wanted to be a traffic constable. I felt that all the vehicles were moving only the way he told them to. When I saw people who did not obey the traffic rules I would promise myself that I would become a traffic constable and pull up the wrong doers.
When I was studying in class XI, I helped out my father (choreographer Sundaram) in his work. I was lucky to have a father who was a dance master. I was working as his assistant.
In those days, several producers and directors used to tell me that I should choreograph songs on my own soon.
I learnt Bharatanatyam from dance masters Dharmaraj and Udipi Lakshminaryanan. They made me what I am today. I wonder where I would be now if they had not trained me? I thank them from my bottom of my heart.
Till standard X, I studied well. Then, I saw Michael Jackson's `Thriller' on a CD. I was astonished by his movements and wondered how anybody could dance like that. I used to practice his moves. I don't know if I got them right.
Later on, dancing gave me my bread and butter. Even now I don't know if I am dancing correctly.
I was initially afraid to choreograph songs on my own. The directors were confident but I was not. Some days my father would leave me alone to choreograph a song. Those times I was forced to do it myself. I learnt a lot that way.
The first song I choreographed was for Sivaji Productions' Vetri Vizha starring Kamal Haasan and Prabhu. Later, I directed all the dance sequences in a Telugu movie.
While I was choreographing songs, directors Pavitran, Shanker and Kadir used to ask me to act in films. I danced for a few songs first in Adhigaari, Ezhai Jaadhi, Idhayam, Sooriyan and Gentleman. My father wanted me to act in films. Raju Sundaram was the one interested in acting.
I am lucky to have acted as the hero in over two dozen films from my first movie, Kaadhalan. Till I acted in Minsaarakanavu I was nervous, but after that movie I started things in my stride. But now, directing a film is like writing an exam.
I know that directing a film is a big job. M.S. Raju wanted me to direct a film, and I did one for him in Telugu.
Now, I am directing a Tamil film Pokkiri, with Vijay in the lead. It is being produced by Ramesh Babu.
My favourite dancers are Michael Jackson, actor Padmini, Vyjayanthimala and Chiranjeevi.
Like many others I like Rajnikanth, Amitabh Bachchan, Chiranjeevi and Kamal Haasan among actors.
I adore directors Shankar, Bhim Singh and K. Balachander (in random order, of course).

New to absinthe? This classic cocktail is for you.
This absinthe tipple holds powerful magic.
Pear brandy and absinthe combine to make this a truly unique tipple.
Rekindle winter Olympic glory with this multinational cocktail.
Hollywood bartender Chris Hewes would serve this spicy absinthe-based shot to a movie star who didn't win an Oscar.
Champion drinker Ernest Hemingway claimed to have invented the Death in the Afternoon, a risky pairing of absinthe and Champagne, himself. His exact instructions suggested adding iced Champagne to a jigger of absinthe until it attained "the proper opalescent milkiness," then proceeding to drink three to five of the cocktails in one sitting.
Expand your mind with this absinthe cocktail.
Try this simple twist on the classic Sazerac recipe.
Enjoy the once-illicit absinthe in an old-fashioned Absinthe Drip.
One of America's earliest cocktails, the Sazerac is a homegrown New Orleans specialty. Peychaud's Bitters are a key element and were created by Antoine Peychaud, a French Quarter pharmacist, who invented the cocktail in the 1830s. The Sazerac was originally made with cognac, but an insect epidemic destroyed many French vineyards and resulted in the lasting switch to rye whiskey.

Irish premier resigns as party leader, stays as PM
DUBLIN Prime Minister Brian Cowen announced Saturday that he has resigned as leader of Ireland's dominant Fianna Fail party but intends to keep leading the government through the March 11 election. Opposition chiefs demanded his immediate ouster as premier.
Cowen's surprise move capped a week of political crises that brought his coalition government to the brink of collapse.
Never before in Irish history has a politician sought to remain prime minister without being leader of the main government party. Cowen pledged that the short-term split in power would not "in any way affect our ability to do our business."
Opposition leaders announced they would seek to oust Cowen as prime minister in a no-confidence vote next week in parliament.
Enda Kenny, leader of the main opposition Fine Gael party, said Cowen's "attempt to remain as head of government despite losing the confidence of his own party is another sad example of Fianna Fail putting their own survival ahead of the country's survival."
Kenny said the prime minister must resign from Cabinet immediately and permit a national election sooner than March 11.
"If he refuses to do so, Fine Gael will move a motion of no confidence in Brian Cowen as Taoiseach (prime minister) in the Dail (parliament) on Tuesday," Kenny said.
Cowen said he was confident of winning that vote despite his narrow and fluctuating parliamentary majority.
Since Thursday, Fianna Fail lawmakers had been demanding Cowen's resignation as party chief after he bungled an attempted pre-election Cabinet reshuffle. He accepted five rapid-fire Cabinet resignations in a precalculated move to promote fresh faces into Cabinet and boost their pre-election profiles.
But, inexplicably, Cowen failed to secure support beforehand from the other party in Cowen's coalition government, the Greens, who were caught off-guard by the mass resignations - and vetoed his plan as a cynical stunt.
The Green Party instead humiliated Cowen, forcing him to announce a March 11 date for an election that the embattled premier has sought to delay since November.
Cowen insisted Saturday he had taken his decision to resign as party leader only that morning over breakfast with his family, and had not discussed the move with other Cabinet ministers.
"I'm concerned that renewed internal criticism of Fianna Fail is deflecting attention from this important debate," he said of the March 11 election, which Fianna Fail is universally forecast to lose.
Cowen - who last week had rejected the notion that he could quit as Fianna Fail chief while remaining prime minister - conceded that his move was unprecedented since Ireland gained independence from Britain in 1922.
"This isn't the ideal situation, but we will manage the situation," he said.
Cowen said by stepping down as Fianna Fail leader, he could focus purely on the immediate task of passing two pieces of deficit-fighting legislation linked to Ireland's November negotiation of an emergency euro67.5 billion ($91 billion) credit line from the European Union and International Monetary Fund.
He said Fianna Fail would elect a new leader within days who would "prepare and move forward the organization for the (election) campaign itself."

Exclusive: Stung by back-to-back defeats to Barack Obama, the Republican Party is undertaking a national strategy to devalue the votes of blacks and other minorities, a partial revival of the infamous clause in the U.S. Constitution rating African-American slaves as "Three-Fifths" of a person, says Robert Parry.
Capital Insiders Help Amgen
President Obama gave a ringing defense of progressive government and the good it can do for the nation and the people. But a little-noticed addition to the fiscal-cliff bill was a reminder of how politics can work to the advantage of corporate special interests, say Bill Moyers and Michael Winship.
Denying Palestinians a Voice
Israel's elections rebuffed the hard-right politics of recent years, but the new government is still unlikely to stop Jewish settlers from seizing Palestinian land or to recognize equality for Arabs, many of whom have no say in the Israeli occupation that constrains their lives, reports Dennis J. Bernstein.
Overcoming the Great Dismal
The core challenge facing today's U.S. political process is whether the daunting threats to the planet and its people can be addressed, responsibly and cooperatively. Another hope is that in building these solutions, America can break loose from the chains of soulless mediocrity, as Phil Rockstroh explains.
Finally, the Republicans Are Afraid
Exclusive: House Speaker John Boehner warned his fellow Republicans that President Obama may be preparing "to annihilate" the GOP, surely an overly dramatic claim but one that marks a stunning reversal of fortune for swaggering Republicans who once dreamt of their own one-party state, says Robert Parry.
Egypt's Pluralist Politics
Though U.S. observers tend to view Egypt's politics through a secular-vs.-Islamist lens, a clearer way of seeing what's happening in that important Arab country is to examine other issues, like the economy, that are motivating Egyptians, writes ex-CIA analyst Paul R. Pillar.
Doubting Obama's Words on Diplomacy
In his two Inaugural Addresses, President Obama has called for diplomacy to replace military bluster, but his failure to rein in U.S. imperial impulses during his first term has made the world dubious of his rhetoric as he enters his second, write Flynt and Hillary Mann Leverett at GoingToTehran.com.
What to Make of Barack Obama?
Exclusive: In his Second Inaugural Address, President Obama offered a powerful rejoinder to the Right by arguing that progressive reform fits firmly within the Founders' vision of a strong country advancing the "general Welfare" and securing "Blessings of Liberty." But does his rhetoric reflect the real Obama, asks Robert Parry.
New Hope for a Second Term
President Obama's Second Inaugural Address surprised some pundits with his strong messages on climate change, immigration reform, gun safety and other social issues. But whether real action follows will depend on a shift in public consciousness, says Robert F. Dodge.
The Troubling Message of Inaugurals
Pundits talk about presidential Inaugurals as celebrations of democracy, but the pomp and circumstance – attended by Marine guards and punctuated by cannon fire – carry an implicit message of intimidation that is closer to monarchy than a people's government, writes Joe Lauria.

Thunderstorms in the area tomorrow evening through Friday afternoon
While the folks of Massachusetts and other areas of New England heartily welcome the spring season after a relentless winter, they are finding a very unwelcome problem emerging from the brutal snow.
The right home landscape can save energy, water and money. A well-designed landscape can save enough energy to pay for itself in 8 years or fewer.
Watering techniques for lawns and gardens vary with the season and the species.
Beware the promise of "natural" landscapes, there is still plenty of maintenance involved in tending a "Back to Nature" garden.
Thanks to the long, cold winter, spring flora has returned stronger than ever. Here's our roundup of this season's prettiest bounty, all across the country.
Whether they're growing deadly plants or rich with Renaissance-era statues, these strangely beautiful gardens are full of mysterious charm.
Maintaining a healthy growth of perennials in the garden is easy to do, provided you follow a few important steps.
Research suggests that things like temperature, humidity, wind, and precipitation can all play a role in making us feel crummy—and even increase the risk for some serious health problems.
Sep 20, 2011; 5:00 AM ET Why do leaves change from green to beautiful shades of red, orange and yellow in the fall?

Well looky there, you are indeed correct! I hadn't noticed that it was missing there. But then again, I don't use the scripted mode much. It could be that the scripting engine needs the files in specific places in order to do its job.
Could be, but judging from the scripts, I'm not sure this is the case. The scripts simply implement two passes needed to generate the point cloud first and then render. The only hindrance I can think of might be the standard "collect and localise" subroutine in DS not being configured to recognise the .ptc as one of the files that would need to be collected… but to test this I need the docs.
The raytracing engine in 3DL was improved drastically in the 10. series. There was an issue where starting up had huge overhead. That overhead has been completely removed and the raytracer can now start pretty much immediately. Also, the speed of the tracer itself was improved. According to reports, it should now be faster to use the raytracer than the shadow maps. I have not personally tested this as I don't normally use shadow maps to start with. Now, on to your question… I haven't tried the GI mode in 4.5 yet. I guess I should.
If only we could convince DNA to get on the GPU assisted wagon.
Thanks for the info! I should transfer that scene into 4.5 and see how it fares. I generally don't like raytraced shadows because they require a softness percentage to look more natural, and those softness calculations used to be a real performance hog as well, but if that has been dealt with by chance, I might consider using them more often - especially for larger scenes like landscapes, where DSMs can get unwieldy with higher sample rates and a lot of detail in the scene.
...I wonder if blurred raytraced reflections are now faster. So many things to test, so little time…
As for GPU assisted rendering… I guess they will take advantage of this, in due time. From what I've heard, and correct me if I'm wrong, GPU acceleration is not that widely used in film industry yet, and isn't 3Delight primarily geared at movie studios?
Yes, the movie industry is indeed one of the biggest users of 3DL. However, "The Avengers" used a Realtime GPU assisted 3D rendering and motion capture for the work on the Hulk. 3Delight has been the "Go To" for the Marvel series and it looks like 3Delight may have been left out of the loop here.
GPU stream processing REALLY speeds up raytracing. Massively parallel processing allows for a ray per stream to be actualized. If one has 1024 streams (like on some ATI cards) that is 1024 pixels at once. The trick is the linking process between CPU/GPU and management of GPU Memory resources. Current unbiased renderers load all of the textures as well as the geometry into the GPU memory, hence requiring a large amount of memory to be available or the reduction of geometry or textures. There is work on going for a more effective use of the GPU. Here's a quick overview… For instance, in a general scene, the ratio of rays that impact a specific object's bounding box is relatively small. In a portrait, less than 25%. So if the GPUs are used to preclear Viewport LoS (line of sight) collisions with bounding boxes (returning booleans) then the CPU can create a tree of areas where actual processing needs to be done. Then the CPU feeds those regions into memory and sets the GPUs loose to create base texture mapping. Next a reflection bounce collision tree is computed. Once this is done, one can load the lights and compute luminosity maps, execute dynamic radiosity and adjust surface brightness accordingly. The final step is to apply LoS reflectivity.

"Is This Thing On?": A Computer Handbook for Late Bloomers, Technophobes, etc
By mnemko
In today's workplace, being a digital doofus often means career doom. Yet millions of people, including well-educated people still are tech-light but are embarrassed to admit it, let alone to get help.
On the March 10, 2013 edition of Work with Marty Nemko, Barbara and Marty Nemko will try to offer a bit of such help. They'll discuss the book, Is This Thing On?:" A Computer Handbook for Late Bloomers, Technophobes, and the Kicking & Screaming. Plus listeners can call in for a 3-minute workover.
Work with Marty Nemko is heard Sundays from 11 am to noon on KALW, 91.7 FM.

Home > Archives
Friday June 27, 2008
By THO XIN YI
To National Archives of
Malaysia (NAM) director-general
Sidek Jamil, placing
documents in an archive is like
buying an insurance policy.
"Do you want to pay the monthly insurance fees and benefit from the policy when you meet with an accident one day?
"Or would you rather not pay anything now and regret later when you are lying on the sickbed?" he asked.
The same goes with archiving. One would only feel the anxiety when an important document is missing and, to prevent that, keeping the documents in order is necessary.
Contrary to stereotypes, said Sidek, the documents kept at NAM are not junk.
"They are evidence which can protect the rights and interests of a nation and individuals," Sidek said. Citing two stories as examples, Sidek explained the importance of the documents.
"I had a colleague who was going through immigration records and chanced upon his father's name. He had never seen his father as the latter died when my colleague was young.
"He then made a copy of the photo attached to the document and showed it to his mother, who confirmed that it was his father," he said.
Another example involved a deceased policeman and his pension.
"His widow failed to obtain his pension, but she had with her a medal, which he had won during a shooting competition.
"We searched in the reports and found out that he was the champion of the said shooting competition.
"With the record, the widow finally proved that her late husband was a civil servant and she was entitled to receive his pension," Sidek said.
"When the dispute between Malaysia and Singapore over the sovereignty of Pulau Batu Puteh was thrust into the limelight, some questioned why NAM did not have the essential document – a letter from the British Governor to the Johor Temenggong, seeking permission to build the Horsburgh Lighthouse on Pulau Batu Puteh.
"NAM was established on Dec 1, 1957, while the letter was written more than 100 years ago.
"Also, we cannot forget that our country went through the World War II, where many documents were destroyed by the British to prevent the Japanese from grasping the know-how to rule the land," Sidek said.
He touched on the history of Malaya when Singapore – one of the three Straits Settlements – was the centre of British administration.
"The British Governor lived in Singapore and the letter is probably still there," he said.
While many may frown upon the fact that we do not have the letter, Sidek preferred to see it as a blessing in disguise.
"Maybe this will teach Malaysians to keep documents properly," he said.
To encourage archiving, Sidek plans to get Malaysians to start keeping track of their family histories and embark on a family archive.
"Some of the things we can do are conduct interviews with our family members, keep everyone's photos, record video and voice clips, and pass them on to future generations."
Hopefully, this will nurture a habit among Malaysians to keep and preserve documents and they will bring this habit to the workplace," he said.
Another strategy is to go through schools and encourage them to start an archive on the schools' history.
"I remember when I was young; there were no tables and chairs in the classrooms. All of us had to sit on the floor to attend classes.
"If such photos are kept, children nowadays can appreciate the comfortable environment they enjoy now," Sidek said.
Among the most valuable documents in NAM are the Declaration of Independence and the correspondence of the late Sultan Abdul Hamid of Kedah (1882-1943), which has been recognised as world heritage by Unesco.
Nonetheless, Sidek is in the opinion that all documents are valuable in their own ways.
"Some are related to the country's boundaries while some hold information of the citizens' migration. The values of the documents depend on the needs, be it evidence, legal, social or administrative," he said.
Naturally, NAM have only those which were passed to them by related departments and those bought from overseas.
"Unfortunately, not everyone understand it. People always tell us, 'you should have this and that', but we are not magicians," he said.
According to the National Archives Act, public archives are made available to the public 25 years from the date of conclusion of the record.
The documents passed over to NAM increased multifold when subsidiaries were set up under the government.
Preserving the documents in the archive is serious business at NAM.
First of all, its buildings must be treated so that it is protected from termites.
"Our documents are stored in boxes so that they will be free of dust," Sidek said.
"The environmental controls – temperature and humidity – are important. Usually, we keep the documents below 22°C and humidity between 40 and 50%.
"For films and CDs, the temperature would be even lower with the humidity about 40%," he said.
Photographs, on the other hand, are kept in envelopes.
To further prolong the lives of the documents, NAM is equipped with a conservation lab in charge of document restoration.
"We throw away the acid contained in the paper. This process, called the deacidification, helps the paper last longer.
"We also strengthen the paper by adding tissue to it," Sidek said.
Most of the restoration processes are reversible so that the documents can return to their original state.
"If we discover new conservation methods in the future, we can take away the extra layers added and preserve the documents using the new ways," he explained.
The 16th International Congress
on Archives will be held at
the Kuala Lumpur Convention
Centre from July 21 to 27.
"This is the second time this
congress is being held outside
Europe. The first time was in
China," Sidek said.
The theme of this congress is
Archives, Governance and
Development: Mapping Future
Members of the public are
welcome to take part in this
Participant fee is RM2,000
per individual and RM1,000 for
accompanying person.

Dennis and Cathie Caldwell thought selling their two-story Victorian would be a snap.
"You're putting a sign out? Better start packing," neighbors told them. "It's gonna sell quick."
And why not? Their historic home in Old Towne Orange is in turn-key condition, restored to its original 1886 glory, including brightly painted trim, polished hardwood floors and the kitchen's tin ceiling. A similar home a block away sold in three weeks just six months earlier.
But when the Caldwells listed their home at $950,000 last October, it sat on the market. And sat. And sat. And after 10 months, four open houses, 350 lookers passing through their doors and a $62,000 price reduction, it sits there still.
"We wake up every day hoping someone with a big bag of money will come up the walk, but we haven't seen him yet," said Dennis Caldwell, 65.
"We're just absolutely flabbergasted," his wife added. "We thought we would be out of here. ... We're trying to get on with our lives."
Throughout Southern California, other home sellers are trying to get on with their lives, too. But it hasn't been easy.
A year ago, homes typically sold in days with multiple offers as a buying frenzy gripped the market, driving prices up as much as 28 percent in a year.
Since then, however, the pace of sales has slowed. Sellers have flooded back into the market. And buyers are reluctant to pay the higher prices that followed last year's frenzy.
Now, it's common to see homes sit on the market for months.
"Twelve months ago, my average listing was getting 14 offers in seven days. Now, I'm getting 14 showings in a month," said Shevy Akason, an agent with Evergreen Realty in Irvine. "The market definitely has changed."
Noel Palmieri, a Century 21 agent based in the San Gabriel Valley, noted that two of her listings got five offers apiece within two days last year. In one case, a cash buyer abruptly withdrew his bid before a buyer had been selected, then resubmitted it at $20,000 more.
"It was crazy," Palmieri recalled. "You could list a home, and you could have multiple offers literally within 24 hours. ... Now you're seeing more days on the market, and you're starting to see price reductions."
Market slowdown
One common measure of market pace – ReportsOnHousing.com's "market time" report -- shows that homes are taking longer to sell throughout Southern California.

Canwealth Minerals Corporation's Shadow Mountain second assay report details substantial Rare Earth elements
NEW YORK AND MONTREAL, May 10 /PRNewswire/ – Canwealth Minerals
Corporation and partner ICBS Ltd., (OTCPK: ICBT), announced today that
its Shadow Mountain property in South Western Quebec in a highly
favourable VMS (Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide) type mineral deposit,
representing over 7200 acres, has received detail assay report on the
Rare Earth Elements. Positive results from AGAT Laboratories assay
office for substantial amounts of Cerium, Lanthanum and Neodymium Rare
Earth elements.
Commercial applications of Cerium are numerous. They include catalysts,
additives to fuel to reduce emissions and to glass and enamels to
change their color. Cerium oxide is an important component of glass
polishing powders and phosphors used in screens and fluorescent lamps.
Lanthanum compounds have numerous applications as catalysts, additives
in glass, carbon lighting for studio lighting and projection, ignition
elements in lighters and torches, electron cathodes, scintillators, and
others. Lanthanum carbonate (La(2)(CO(3))(3)) was approved as a medication against renal failure.
Neodymium magnet (also known as NdFeB, NIB, or Neo magnet), the most
widely-used type of rare-earth magnet, is a permanent magnet made from
an alloy of neodymium, iron, and boron to form the Nd(2)Fe(14)B tetragonal crystalline structure. Developed in 1982 by General Motors
and Sumitomo Special Metals, neodymium magnets are the strongest type
of permanent magnet made. They have replaced other types of magnet in
the many applications in modern products that require strong permanent
magnets, such as motors in cordless tools, hard disk drives, and
magnetic fasteners.
Canwealth Minerals Corporation is a gold and precious metal mining
company has registered claims with the Minister of Natural Resources in
While the preliminary samples are from the surface, this has confirmed
that core drilling is indicated as the next step to deep exploration of
the site.
The company is expected to start exploration drilling this coming
spring. The main thrust of the exploration will be to focus on sites
that have a strong indication of precious metal mineralization such as
Gold, Silver and Platinum.
The company's current strategic direction is to seek out properties or
claims known to have highly favourable mineralized targets which will
lead rapidly to the advanced exploration and development stages.
ICBS will be providing management and project funding.

In my forum options I set it to send me an instant e-mail whenever I create or reply to thread however this is not working. I've yet to receive a single reply for the thread that I created. I'm wondering if this is disabled on the server and that the option is null and void anyway even if I set it to send an e-mail.
Re: Thread subscriptions
