It's funny to see just how different peoples opinions are. I'm about to further showcase that with one of my all time dislikes.
I should first point out that I watch movies for entertainment. Not art. Also, continue to read on to my second, which is my most hated movie.
2001: A Space Odyssey. Yes, if you handed me BE and 2001, and pointed a gun at my head to choose...I would choose BE. I find it really funny that people will complain how little plot the Transformers movies have, and then claim to love 2001, which had much less. ( To be fair, what I've read about the books suggests it's a lot better there. ) I mean, it took what, 45 minutes to get out of the apes scene and start the movie? The newest Transformers only took like 10 minutes to get past its own backstory. ( Don't get me wrong, there was plenty wrong with T4 as well. Everything burns/explodes, female is set up to be a strong lead character then spends the second half crying for help and being entirely useless, etc. )
Now that that little gripe is out of the way, it's time for the real winner ( loser? ):
Allow me to sum this movie up: They walk over to a ladder and climb out.
There's no drama, intrigue, interest, plot, nothing. It has not a single saving grace. It's the epitome of what happens when George Lucas is allowed to make things his own way.
This was the most bored I have ever been in a movie. I kept watching it expecting something to happen. I kid you not, as they climbed out of the ladder, I was thinking "Finally something is going to happen!"...and then came the credits. I watched this with my parents, who have quite different tastes, and they too thoroughly hated it.
I recommend saving thx-1138 for the last of this terrible marathon, to really drive home the bad. If you go into it wanting the last few hours back, and wanting something to happen/to do...this will surely bring out the suicidal thoughts.

CADIZ, Ky. (AP) - A western Kentucky woman told police she
pretended to be dead after she was raped and stabbed in an attack
that left three of her children dead and her house in flames,
according to a police affidavit unsealed in court Friday.
The 66 unsealed pages include search warrants and affidavits,
giving a gruesome account of what happened during the attack at the
family's home in the Roaring Spring community near Fort Campbell on
Oct. 15.
Police have charged 36-year-old Kevin Wayne Dunlap of
Hopkinsville with three counts of murder, kidnapping, rape,
attempted murder, burglary and tampering with physical evidence.
Court documents say the woman told police a man carrying a black
handgun and zipties approached her while she was doing yard work.
She said her assailant was wearing a blue polo, jeans and white
Reebok tennis shoes. The woman was forced inside and raped.
The mother told police she "pretended to play dead" in hopes
the assailant would leave, court records say. A fire set in the the
home prompted her to run out the back door, where she fell into the
Police have said the mother identified Jones as the attacker
from a photo.
Dunlap's attorney, James Gibson, declined to comment on the
court documents Friday but said Dunlap plans to plead not guilty.
He remains in jail without bond.
The Associated Press has previously identified the mother, but
is no longer naming her because authorities now say she was
sexually assaulted. The AP generally does not identify victims of
sexual assault.
The unsealed records also detail dozens of items police took
from Dunlap's home and truck, including a pair of Reebok tennis
shoes with blood and ash on the sole, four DirectTV shirts, knives,
guns and zipties.
The bodies of a 17-year-old girl, 14 year-old girl and
5-year-old boy were found in separate rooms of the house. Police
said they were bound with white zipties and gagged, and all had
stab and slash wounds.

Finally watched the TiVo'd Louis Rukeyser's Wall Street from a few weeks ago with former J.P. Morgan Equity Strategist Doug Cliggot (now with Brummer & Partners).
Cliggott made a name for himself in early 2000, when he correctly predicted that the year would be the roughest one for stocks since 1994. The S&P 500 index and Nasdaq Composite proceeded to close within a hair's breadth of his year-end price targets of 1300 and 2500, respectively. (Of course, he also called for a correction in 1999; No one's perfect).
Harvey Eisen asked Cliggot a terrific question, and got a great answer. Its worth reproducing here (its transcribed as best as I could):
Eisen: You had one of the great all time calls at the top of the Market in 2000. What would cause you to be Bullish on stocks?
Cliggot: What has made stocks be a wonderful asset class for the last 20, 25 years was the starting point.
We started with a very low P/E multiple;
Now we have a very high P/E multiples.
We started with a very high interest rates;
Now we have a very low interest rates.
We started with a very high inflation rates;
Now we have a very low inflation rates.
We started with a very high tax rates;
Now we have a very low tax rates.
When I look out at the next 2-3 years, all those key metrics are going to go in the wrong direction . . .
Very interesting stuff . . .

Al Pacino will tread the boards at the London Palladium on June 2, 2013.
Picture: Al Pacino - Celebrities leaving the 8th Annual Los Angeles Italia Film, Fashion and Art Festival honoring Al Pacino - Los Angeles, United States -...
Al Pacino is bringing his acclaimed one-man show to London's West End this summer, performing at the London Palladium on June 2, 2013. 'A Night With Al Pacino' will feature an on-stage interview with the actor about his career in the movie business, followed by a question and answer session with the no-doubt sold out audience.
The 72-year-old, nominated for 8 Oscars in his career, is still best known for his portrayal of Michael Corleone in The Godfather trilogy, though was peerless between 1973 and 1990 when he made such classics as Dog Day Afternoon, Scarface, Bobby Deerfield, And Justice for All, and, of course, Serpico. With stunning turns were to come after his golden era, in the likes of Dick Tracy, Glengarry Glen Ross, Carlito's Way, Donnie Brasco and Heat, he finally won the Academy Award for Best Actor that he was long overdue for The Scent of a Woman in 1992.
"I am really looking forward to coming to London," said in a statement announcing the UK show, "I have always felt at home there. I consider it an honour to be appearing at the Palladium and I will be glad to be back on the boards in your great city."
Pacino remains one of the few actors to have achieved the industry's coveted 'Triple Crown' by winning an Oscar, Emmy and Tony award for his work in movies, television and theatre respectively. A true great who should not be missed at the Palladium.
Tickets are available now, starting at £80.

Kasab calm and smiling before being hanged, declared dead at 8 am

"He was smiling before he was taken for execution," Dr Dhananjay Raut, chief medical officer of Yerawada jail, who was among the five people who witnessed the hanging of the Lashkar-e-Toiba terrorist, told The Indian Express. "I declared Kasab dead at 8 am. He was fine, kept smiling as we examined him on the morning of his execution."
A government official who also witnessed the process said Kasab even wished officials around 7.15 am, 15 minutes before his scheduled hanging.
"He was very calm and did a salaam to the officials entering the cell," said the official. "He was then taken out of the cell and to the area where the process was to be executed. He had a black cloth covering his face and his hands were tied behind. We heard him saying "Allah-kasam mujhe maaf kar do, aisi galti dubara nahi hogi" (forgive me lord, such a mistake will not happen again) before he was asked to step on the area below the noose."
"An official put the noose around his neck and the lever was pulled. At this the body goes up a little and then comes down after which the doctor checks the pulse of the person who has been hanged," the official said, adding that the entire process took about 7-8 minutes, which was within the time frame allotted.
The execution took place in the presence of the state's additional director general of police (prisons), the jailor, the jail doctor and the district magistrate appointed by the district collector. The judgment was read out to all present and signed by the doctor and the magistrate. The signed documents which said the death sentence had been carried out will be sent to the metropolitan judge in Mumbai who delivered the sentence. A Muslim priest was called before Kasab's body was buried in the jail complex, the official said.
On Tuesday, a day before the hanging, doctors conducted a health check-up of Kasab that included examination of his blood pressure, pulse and mental condition. The psychiatrists who examined him too felt he was fine, Raut said and added that Kasab was kept in the 'anda' cell of the jail and was served two meals on Tuesday.
On Wednesday morning, Kasab was woken up at 5 am. "He drank a cup of tea and even at that time he smiled," Raut said. "He was very comfortable, did not say any prayers but just sat at one place and continued to smile. He was conscious and cooperative."
Even before he was sent to Yerawada jail from Arthur road jail in Mumbai, Kasab seemed to be in a "perfect" state of mind. Dr T P Lahane, dean of Mumbai's J J Hospital, said Kasab was fine and did not speak to anyone. "He was checked by our doctors and was declared fit before being sent to Pune," Lahane told The Indian Express.
J J hospital doctors who had treated Kasab in prison earlier this month when he was suspected to have dengue fever had said that he only had a mild fever at that time. Kasab was examined twice a week by J J hospital doctors while jail doctors were available around the clock, Lahane added. "When he had a mild fever, he was given antibiotics and was medically fine. There were no other ailments," Lahane said.
Psychiatrists who had interacted with Kasab in Arthur road jail recalled how Kasab seemed to be in a normal state of mind even when he met doctors two years ago. He sang songs and laughed a lot then, said the psychiatrists who spoke on condition of anonymity.

I have a problem in encrypting/decrypting log file generated by log4j's RollingFileAppender. For the encryption I have tried to extend the RollingFileAppender, just call it EncryptedRollingFileAppender. I override the method
setFile(String fileName, boolean append, boolean bufferedIO, int bufferSize)
and basically I use CipherOutputStream and Base64OutputStream to encrypt and encode everything written to the output stream. Here's part of the code:
FileOutputStream ostream = null;
CipherOutputStream cstream = null;
Base64OutputStream b64stream = null;
try {
byte[] keyBytes = "1234123412341234".getBytes(); //example
final byte[] ivBytes = new byte[] { 0x00, 0x01, 0x02, 0x03, 0x04, 0x05, 0x06,
0x07, 0x08, 0x09, 0x0a, 0x0b, 0x0c, 0x0d, 0x0e, 0x0f }; //example
final SecretKey key = new SecretKeySpec(keyBytes, "AES");
final IvParameterSpec IV = new IvParameterSpec(ivBytes);
final Cipher cipher = Cipher.getInstance("AES/CFB8/NoPadding");
cipher.init(Cipher.ENCRYPT_MODE, key, IV);
ostream = new FileOutputStream(fileName, true);
b64stream = new Base64OutputStream(ostream);
cstream = new CipherOutputStream(b64stream, cipher);
} catch(Exception ex) {
Writer cw = createWriter(cstream);
And then i decrypt the file with this code:
private static void decryptFile(String filename) throws Exception {
FileInputStream fis = null;
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(filename));
File file = new File(filename + "-decrypted");
Writer out = new OutputStreamWriter(new FileOutputStream(filename + "-decrypted"), "UTF-8");
String line = null;
try {
while (( line = br.readLine()) != null){
line = decrypt(Base64.decodeBase64(line));
} catch (Exception e) {
} finally {
if (br != null) {
if (fis != null) {
if (out != null) {
public static String decrypt(byte[] line) throws Exception {
byte[] keyBytes = "1234123412341234".getBytes();
final byte[] ivBytes = new byte[] { 0x00, 0x01, 0x02, 0x03, 0x04, 0x05, 0x06, 0x07, 0x08, 0x09,
0x0a, 0x0b, 0x0c, 0x0d, 0x0e, 0x0f };
final SecretKey secretkey = new SecretKeySpec(keyBytes, "AES");
final IvParameterSpec IV = new IvParameterSpec(ivBytes);
final Cipher decipher = Cipher.getInstance("AES/CFB8/NoPadding");
decipher.init(Cipher.DECRYPT_MODE, secretkey, IV);
final byte[] plainText = decipher.doFinal(line);
return new String(plainText, "UTF-8").trim();
It worked but only partially. Some texts in the result file were decrypted correctly but some others were not. If you're curious, this is what I mean by partially:
07 Jul 11 13:13:13, DEBUG MrBean.java:checkUserVal���̥V;��ƃ�˨�� - username: squall,password: 4GROmr95Qcf����v�M�7�y�5�@CGO09 ,active: true
I also have tried changing the algorithm to "DESede" but it was still partially decrypted. Then I tried to use "CBC/PKCS5Padding" in both ends but I got an exception
javax.crypto.IllegalBlockSizeException: Input length must be multiple of 16 when decrypting with padded cipher
I assume the encryption is not properly padding the input but I wonder why... because when I use the same encryption and decryption algorithms without the CipherOutputStream the padding worked just fine. Anyone can help me to make this works? Any help will be appreciated.
PS: Sorry for my English, it's not my native language.

'Arflex: 60 years of Italian Design' is being celebrated at Poliform's Melbourne and Sydney showrooms. Instead of birthday candles, there's an exhibition chronicling key works by the furniture brand.
The show, which runs until November 18, includes many classic creations (such as the 'Marenco' sofa by Mario Marenco – it's so loved by acclaimed architect Tadao Ando that it appears in nearly every residence he has designed).
And just as good as a birthday present is this Poliform deal – any one who buys an Arflex design at one of Poliform's showrooms before the exhibition's end date will receive a complimentary Arflex side table, valued at $2265 (conditions apply).
For showroom locations, product details and deal conditions, visit Poliform's website.

this is a mindblowing picture. The the the clarity of the feathers, and water drops on them it's just fascinating. That's an amazing lens and you either used a tripod or have a very steady hand my friend with a 400 mm focal length. wow. I'm floored.
woa, impression!
Aw puffins are great birds! I love the composition!
Nice photograph! Puffins are cool
Great shot!
Nice shot Will.
great shot
so nice... as usual ^^
Amazing capture! I really love your photos!

If it isn't in stock at Newegg check mwave.com. I ordered mine from there and it was only like $1.50 more expensive than Newegg. I just did a MS28 tonight and it worked fine. http://www.mwave.com...mp;RSKU=AA52800

does it have 6421l or 6421a? but does anyone know if the raid version of this card works just the same and is good for the 10 second trick

SSO for Oracle E-Business Suite R12 External Users Question
Nov 13, 2012 2:13 PM
We have Oracle Application Server Single Sign-On 10.1.4.3 integrated with Oracle E-Business Suite R12.1.3. OID is synchronized with Active Directory. There is no provision between OID and EBS. SSO is enabled for internal users only. External users of iSupplier Portal log in through EBS local login URL. Their accounts only exist in EBS FND_USER. According to Oracle, the use of SSO and Non-SSO is not supported. We need to enable SSO for external users. We have two options:
1. Create external users in AD. They will be authenticated the same way as internal users. The problems are 1) the time it takes to create their account -- a long wait time is not acceptable to business as a new external user may need to access the iSupplier Portal immediately; 2) how do they change password when an AD password expires.
2. Provision the accounts from EBS to OID. Oracle has a standard process to provision all accounts from EBS to OID. To do it with a subset of users, I haven't found out how.
Does anyone have experiences in this area? Are there any other options? Thanks.

As spending goes up, discovery goes down:
How do we close the widening gap?
By Virginia Heffernan
The cost of mineral exploration continues to rise, with global spending heading towards US$14 billion this year, yet rates of mineral discovery have been on the decline since the 1980s. Is there a way to reverse the trend?
Perhaps, says Professor Bill Morris of the School of Geography and Earth Sciences at McMaster University, but only if explorers begin to integrate geoscience information in such a way that they can see through rock and overburden to find buried deposits.
"The reality is that the old days when prospectors would go out there and find a mineral deposit on the surface are gone," he says. "We have to expand our search into deeper areas and use newer technology to enhance our search capabilities."
That shift in exploration methodology will require training, more efficient use of exploration data, and interdisciplinary cooperation: while geophysics may be the most obvious tool for exploring the subsurface, it cannot be used in isolation.
"The new frontier is the integration of geoscience information," says Morris. "Geophysics will take you so far, but geophysics on its own will never give you a complete answer."
In Canada, the federal government is taking the threat of declining discovery rates seriously by committing $25 million over five years to find new base metal reserves in established mining communities. One of the main components of the Geological Survey of Canada's Targeted Geoscience Initiative (TGI), now in its third phase, is the integration of industry and government data collected over the years to conjure up new images of old camps with the hope of discovering previously undetected ore.
The TGI also aims to produce new geological, geophysical maps and geochemical maps of the target areas, create three-dimensional representations of areas with the highest base metal potential, and come up with new and improved methods to map hidden and deep-seated base metal deposits.
In the Flin Flon mining camp of northern Manitoba, for instance, the TGI completed a 2-D high-resolution seismic survey to help identify buried VMS deposits after the GSC's geological mapping in the area suggested a different structural model for the mining camp that was best tested by seismic tools. The Flin Flon deposits have high acoustic impedance relative to typical host rocks because of their mineral make-up (pyrite, pyrrhotite, sphalerite, and chalcopyrite).
"Before we turned up, the exploration techniques were pretty standard," says Simon Hammer, TGI's program manager in Ottawa, who explains that seismic has not been traditionally been used in mineral exploration, especially in relatively urban areas such as Flin Flon that have background noise. "The fact that the major stakeholder in the area then decided to follow up with 3D seismic clearly indicates that we were able to influence their exploration strategy."
Another TGI target area, and one of the focuses of Morris's research, is the Bathurst lead-zinc mining region in New Brunswick, an old camp that desperately needs new life. The area's main mine, Brunswick, is expected to close by 2010 and maybe even earlier given current metal prices, sucking about $100 million per year out of the local economy and putting 800 people out of work. Junior Blue Note Mining is also preparing to shut down the Caribou and Restigouche lead-zinc mines after less than a year of commercial production.
The VMS deposits of the Bathurst camp lie in an ancient back-arc basin broken and twisted by multi-generational folding, faulting, and thrusting of several geological blocks and slivers. But the complex geology is difficult to map because most of the surface is covered by vegetation and glacial overburden, says Hernan Ugalde, a research scientist at McMaster working closely with Morris in partnership with TGI.
That's where geophysical surveys integrated with geochemical and drilling data will play a crucial role in assessing the near-surface and subsurface geology and potentially pinpointing new mineralization.
To that end, Hernan is running detailed gravity surveys (100-200 m spacing) over three VMS deposits in Bathurst - Chester, Caribou and Armstrong B – to test a theory that there is a correlation between the vertical gravity gradient and the presence of mineral deposits in the Bathurst camp.
The push from government and academia is a good first step, but the private sector must also get smarter and more efficient about how it deals with exploration data in order to make new discoveries, the McMaster researchers say. Junior companies in particular are missing the opportunity - for lack of knowledge and/or manpower - to use technology in their favour.
"Junior exploration companies, and even some senior companies, will often chase a geophysical anomaly," says Ugalde. "They may have very detailed geophysical information, but instead of going the extra mile to analyze the data and do some modeling to see, for example, what the actual plunge of the orebody is, they just drill it. But if you don't know the angle of your orebody, you can miss it."
Ugalde and Morris urge companies to slow down and hire the expertise required to analyze their data properly, especially in this era of non-stop data generation.
"It's the difference between brute force and finesse in exploration," says Morris. "Should you put more money into boreholes, or should you be spending a little more money and time trying to formulate a model?
Morris says the process of creating an exploration model has become much easier and more efficient with the advancement of exploration software, such as Geosoft, which provides a platform for integrating different datasets (e.g. magnetic, geochemical, topographic), bringing them all together as a single resource.
The ability to view these images in 3-D through GIS is also a crucial breakthrough, he says, because ore deposits are, by nature, three dimensional. The latest versions of Oasis montaj and Target, Geosoft's borehole data visualization software, allow geoscientists to work seamlessly between their Geosoft and GIS (ESRI) files without leaving the Geosoft environment.
Increased access to data and the technology to process high volumes of data in meaningful ways are two main ingredients in the new search for mineral deposits. Training is the third. As part of its mandate, TGI3 is placing significant emphasis on training university students in the broad range of skills they will require to serve the mining sector, including providing them with summer jobs in the field.
Morris agrees that the industry badly needs an influx of qualified people that can make sense of data. With lots of user friendly software available, almost anyone can generate images, but only skilled personnel can separate what is meaningful in the data from what is not."You need direction from people with training who know how to integrate the data and understand what is behind those purple dots that you are chasing," he says. "It is in our nature to push the data set as hard as we can, to extract as much information as we can. But you're doing that at the expense of reality in some cases."

'Smashed' plays it safe
Film follows two young alcoholics and gets watered down with clichés
Rating: R
When: Opens Oct. 19
Where: Landmark La Jolla Village
Running time: 1 hour, 25 minutes
One person's good time is another person's drinking problem, the difference being that the "party" never ends for the alcoholics in the bunch — even if it means losing everything they have or, if they're lucky, finding safe harbor in a recovery program.
The face of alcoholism on film is most often middle-aged, or at least old enough to have a hefty amount of baggage and a lot to lose. But in "Smashed," directed and co-written by James Ponsoldt ("Off the Black"), the disease gets two younger, prettier faces in Kate and Charlie Hannah, a couple that illustrates the point where partying with friends crosses the line into destructive, co-dependent behavior.
Kate (Mary Elizabeth Winstead, "The Thing"), a creative elementary school teacher, and Chris (Aaron Paul, TV's "Breaking Bad") have grown accustomed to waking up with foggy heads and urine-soaked sheets. Kate sips a beer as she showers for work and takes a swig from the flask in her car to take the edge off her hangover before heading into the classroom for the day. She tells baldfaced lies to her principal (Megan Mullally) after vomiting in front of her students, then goes out again that night with her husband, a freelance music journalist with a suspiciously lax work schedule, to begin the cycle all over again. It isn't until she makes some truly dangerous drunken decisions and confides in a fellow teacher (Nick Offerman), also a recovering addict, that she chooses the difficult path to sobriety, causing a rift with her husband and forcing the truth to emerge from the trail of lies she's left behind.
Even inebriated and far past stupid, Winstead brings a bright-eyed alertness to Kate that evokes a less affected Maggie Gyllenhaal. While this makes her someone you want to watch, it doesn't necessarily make her the most convincing of drunks. In his first breakout film role, Aaron Paul stays in territory that's similar to his clueless bad boy in AMC's "Breaking Bad," which suits the supporting role but might be disappointing for anyone looking to see what else the actor can do.
Despite the youth of its main characters, "Smashed" doesn't deliver much that's new to the sobriety genre. We see Kate at her drunken worst, watch her pathetic attempts to cover her tracks at work and observe how she and Charlie feed off each other's addictions, acting like overgrown children on a never-ending play date. But Ponsoldt plays it safe, depicting the significant events of her recovery, including the blossoming friendship with her AA sponsor (Octavia Spencer) and her confrontation with her own alcoholic mother (Mary Kay Place), without ever really getting beneath the surface of her pain and self-loathing.
The consequences of Kate's bad choices are traceable from the film's earliest scenes, and her life lessons are too frequently summed up with greeting card sentiments like "It's hard to live your life honestly" and "Love is the easy part. It's the rest that's hard." Octavia Spencer, who delivers these softball lines, deserves something meatier after causing such a stir "The Help."
In some ways, "Smashed" comes off like an R-rated "After School Special"; it means well and could be meaningful to the younger set who've yet to see superior films on the subject like "The Lost Weekend" (1945) or "Clean and Sober" (1988), but that's the scope of its usefulness.

The staff is incredibly friendly, the service is great and the details are well attended. No, it's not the Ritz Carlton, but it's clean, well maintained and small requests are handled like command performances.
Great for extended stay business or a family basecamp. Local conveniences are a bit of a hike, but only if you're limited to walking. Shuttle service is good, also if you want to make a run to nearby mall.

Let's make the 5th grade classroom unboring!
We believe in this project for 3 reasons: 1) The physical classroom itself can hinder or help learning. From what the kids have told us it's hurting more than it's helping. We want to fix that! 2) Kids are have a big role in this project—they'll guide US every step of the way. 3) Kids need to own their education—for the development of their own powerful selves and their dreams for the future. What better way to show that they are respected and we support them, than to include them?

Living in Your Dream Vacation Home
Thanks to low interest rates and good prices, these couples took the plunge and bought the vacation homes they'd always wanted.
Richard and Laura Ward paid $690,000 for this home in Oxford, Maryland—$305,000 less than the original list price. Photograph courtesy of Laura Ward.
Jane McCarthy and her husband, Stephen, used to spend their weekdays counting the hours until they could escape DC and head out Route 50 to their house on Maryland's Eastern Shore. "As soon as we crossed the Bay Bridge, my stomach would settle," says Jane. "I felt like a new person, revived and rejuvenated."
The McCarthys now live year-round in Oxford, Maryland, where Jane, a real-estate agent, works often with Washingtonians searching for retreats. The past few years have been tumultuous, she says. First, prices skyrocketed, then the bubble burst—by 2010, the number of vacation homes sold nationwide had fallen by almost 50 percent from their peak in 2006. "Second-home buyers were definitely scarce," says McCarthy. "Buying a primary home was tough enough."
Although prices in many popular resort areas are still falling, agents and lenders say the market is showing signs of recovery. In Virginia's Rappahannock County, the number of homes sold climbed by almost 15 percent from 2010 to 2011. Homes in some areas are also selling faster—in Maryland's Garrett County, they sat on the market an average of 208 days this past November, a drop of 26 percent from the same month in 2010.
Bill McGuire, a lender for First Home Mortgage in Easton, says that historically low interest rates and low prices have finally begun to lure buyers: "A lot of our clients had been looking casually for several years but were too afraid to jump in. They're realizing that now may be the time to buy."
New lending regulations make it hard to qualify for a loan, and lenders are requiring bigger down payments—usually a minimum of 20 percent. But it's not impossible, says McGuire: "The misconception is that you can't get a mortgage on a second home, and that's just not true. Is qualifying harder than it used to be? Absolutely. It's practically open-heart surgery. But once you do, you're set."
We tracked down three Washington families who have recently bought a vacation home. Here's how they made it work.
Strategy One: Don't Be Afraid to Low-Ball
Wish list: A family-friendly house on the water that could become a primary residence in the future.
Budget: $700,000.
List price: $995,000.
Purchase price: $690,000.
For years, Richard and Laura Ward kept their 38-foot Saber motorboat in a slip in Annapolis and spent as much time on the Chesapeake Bay as their harried schedules allowed. In 2007, they began storing their boat in Oxford, Maryland, during the winter. "We knew we wanted to end up there," says Laura. "The idea of being right on the water in such a sweet, quiet town was exciting."
The Wards—who also own homes in Annapolis and North Carolina's Outer Banks—had been casually looking for an Eastern Shore house for a few years when a waterfront farmhouse with a red door hit the market in November 2010.
"Although it was perfect, it was a little more than we wanted to spend, so we kept looking," says Laura. Another buyer made a bid for far less than the asking price, so the Wards decided to make an offer as well. "In the end they accepted ours, as it wasn't a contingency offer," she says. "We ended up getting the house for way less than we had expected—and definitely sooner than expected."
With prices around the region the lowest they've been in years, real-estate agents say people are snapping up bargains with the intent of retiring in the homes later. According to the National Association of Realtors, more than a third of vacation-home buyers in the last year plan to use it as a primary residence later. "Waterfront properties in this area are selling for 30 percent less than they were in 2007," says Jane McCarthy, an associate broker with Benson & Mangold Real Estate.
The Wards say their long-term plan is to sell their other properties and live year-round in Oxford. For now, they're content to visit during summers and on weekends with their nine-year-old twins, who enjoy searching for sea glass along the shore and riding their bikes around town. The only drawback? Their son's newfound love of sailing. Says Laura: "We might have to look into a sailboat."
Strategy Two: Rent It Out
Wish list: Lake views from a furnished property.
Budget: $425,000.
List price: $428,000.
Purchase price: $425,000.
Rial and Sandra Coleman had always hoped to buy a vacation home they could share with their family. They envisioned a resort within easy driving distance of their home in Fort Washington. When they visited Western Maryland's Deep Creek Lake for the first time to attend a family reunion in 2006, they were hooked. "Even the drive to the lake was gorgeous," says Sandra of the three-hour trip. "Once we realized that it is a four-season resort area, we decided to start looking."
After three trips to the lake, the couple found Sunplace, a condominium community with 325 feet of common lake frontage, views of the water and mountains, and a western exposure that allows for prime sunset watching. They settled on a three-level, 1,500-square-foot unit and signed the dotted line along with Sandra's parents.
After a few visits, the Colemans realized the potential for renting out the condo when it wasn't in use. "It was in a great location with gorgeous views, easy lake access, a pool—and we knew it could be rented all year long," says Sandra. They hired a management company to oversee the rental arrangements. Within a few months, they had their first customer.
"The key to renting success is to find a home with all the bells and whistles in an area that can attract year-round renters," says Beverly Everett, an agent with Coldwell Banker Deep Creek Realty. "But it takes a while to build up that pool of repeat renters." Between management-company commissions—usually around 20 percent—and a competitive rental market, buyers hoping to cover their mortgage costs completely might find themselves in the red.
"We're definitely not able to cover all of our costs," says Sandra, whose condo is rented about 20 weeks a year. "And we do have to schedule our time around other people's vacations. But we are able to cover the unexpected expenses of owning a second home, and it surely takes the sting out of the mortgage payment."
Strategy Three: Consider a Short Sale
Wish list: A single-family home with room for extended family, within biking distance of the beach.
Budget: $400,000 to high $600,000s.
List price: $799,000.
Purchase price: $685,000.
With a busy orthodontics practice and three children at home, Anthony and Mina Anyadike wanted a second place within a few hours of their home in Ellicott City. "We have such a small window of time to travel," says Mina. "We thought if we had a place in Delaware—just two or three hours away—we'd be able to get there on the weekends."
Low interest rates, competitive prices, and the chance of a good deal convinced them to begin house-hunting in April 2010. "We were intrigued by the idea of a short sale," says Mina. "We weren't in a huge hurry, and we thought we'd be able to get a nice house in an ideal location that we wouldn't otherwise be able to afford."
But after months of searching in Rehoboth Beach and one failed attempt to buy a short sale last year, the Anyadikes were ready to give up. "The drawback of the short sale is that it's really a gamble—you never know if your offer is going to be accepted," says Kathy Douglass, the couple's real-estate agent. "You've really got to be patient and have the luxury of time."
Last March, the Anyadikes offered $685,000 on a home in Rehoboth's Canal Corkran subdivision that was listed for $799,000. "The house was perfect—an open floor plan, in great condition, and within walking distance to the beach, shops, and restaurants," says Mina.
In October, their offer was accepted. "They really did get a great buy," says Douglass. "Homes in Canal Corkran are selling for up to $1.7 million." The Anyadikes feel they made a solid investment and expect to retire to their home in ten years, after their youngest child goes to college. Says Mina: "If we had waited ten years, we wouldn't have been able to buy a home like this."

I grow Lilium michauxii at Mt. Cuba Center in Greenville, DE and it does well. It is the only native Lily I know that has an intense fragrance much like Viola odorata. It grows in rich, well-drained soil at a pH of 5.8. The flowers vary from one to up to five per stalk. The bloom period is before, and ends just as, Lilium superbum starts. In July, I crossed L. michauxii with L. superbum and have just harvested 200 viable seeds. I will not know what the flowers will be like for another 3-5 years. It is a lovely plant well worth any effort.

A new report from Bloomberg New Energy Finance (BNEF) predicts substantially more solar generating capacity will get built in the United States, and a major industry downturn will be avoided, if the federal solar investment tax credit (ITC) is extended at its current level.

Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) Releases National Business Code
In a strong show of leadership in the fastest-growing renewable energy industry in America, the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) today issued the SEIA Solar Business Code to further transparency and understanding in solar power transactions, while maintaining high levels of competiveness. The code is the first national guidance document covering interactions between solar companies and consumers and is effective immediately.
Ohio Supplies National Solar Boom, Sees Own Capacity Slip
While the American solar industry continues to grow by leaps and bounds across the country, Ohio falls further behind its neighboring states in the amount of solar installed. Indeed, Ohio is a cautionary tale of how smart government policy, like the federal investment tax credit (ITC), can help a young, cutting-edge industry like solar grow, attract investment and create jobs while bad government policy can stunt the growth of an industry, writes SEIA President and CEO Rhone Resch.
Solar Industry Applauds Passage of SB 350
The Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) today praised the passage of California's Senate Bill 350, the leadership of the bill's sponsor and champion, Senate President pro Tem Kevin de Leòn, and Gov. Jerry Brown, who earlier this year set out the ambitious vision of meeting 50 percent of the state's electricity needs with renewable energy.
SEIA Launches New Finance Initiative to Open Markets and Expand Investment Opportunities
In an effort to open investment and financial innovation – and to focus that capability on historically underserved sectors of the solar economy – the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) today launched the SEIA Finance Initiative.
SEIA Urges West Virginia Governor to Veto Legislation
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Calling it "unfair to families, businesses and churches," the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) is urging West Virginia Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin to veto HB 2201, which could jeopardize the future of rooftop solar in the state by rewriting West Virginia's net-metering policies. Rhone Resch, SEIA president and CEO, said the legislation needs to be revised before becoming law:
Duke Study: Solar Helping to Drive North Carolina Economy
A new report from Duke University, The Solar Economy: Widespread Benefits for North Carolina, found that public policies such as North Carolina's Renewable Energy Portfolio Standard and Investment Tax Credit have made North Carolina first in the south and fourth in the nation for installed solar investment, creating jobs and boosting the economy across the state.
Nevada Posts Impressive Gains in Solar Employment
WASHINGTON, DC – According to a new report by The Solar Foundation, Nevada's solar industry employment grew 146 percent in the past year, allowing it to rise to 7th in number of solar jobs by state and 1st in per-capita solar jobs. Rhone Resch, president and CEO of the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) said that the big jump in employment is the result, in part, of pro-growth policies supported by Senator Harry Reid and Senator Dean Heller. The state added 3,500 solar jobs over the previous year.
Massachusetts Shows Big Gains in Solar Employment
Massachusetts' continued commitment to clean, solar energy is paying off, according to a just-released report by The Solar Foundation, which shows the state second only to California in solar jobs. Reacting to the news, Rhone Resch, president and CEO of the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA), said this remarkable progress is a result of several factors.
Solar Job Growth Benefitting Economy, Environment
Saying it revealed "very encouraging trends," Rhone Resch, president and CEO of the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA), today applauded the findings of The Solar Foundation's latest State Solar Job Census.
Verengo Solar And GRID Alternatives Bring Solar to Low Income Families
Verengo Solar celebrated its ongoing partnership with GRID Alternatives Greater Los Angeles (GLA) at the recent ceremonies marking GLA's new LA Solar Program and its new warehouse headquarters in downtown Los Angeles. Since 2007 GLA has done over 900 installs of solar electric systems for low-income families in Southern California. This year, with the April launch of GLA's LA Solar Program, more than twenty families living in underserved communities in the city of Los Angeles have now been able to participate in GRID's program.
Cypress Creek Renewables To Invest $20 Million In South Carolina Solar Rush
Renewable energy developer Cypress Creek Renewables is to invest more than $20 million in two new projects in South Carolina as it looks to capitalise on the state's solar boom. The South Carolina Department of Commerce confirmed yesterday that the company is committed to develop two 10 MW utility-scale solar farms in Lexington County as part its plans to establish 1 GW of solar in the U.S. before the end of 2016.
GRID Alternatives' Low Income Solar Program Going Well In California
When Gridley-area homeowner Vicke Robinson wanted to save money on her utility costs, a California environmental nonprofit company was happy to help. GRID Alternatives, an Oakland-based company, made Robinson the first Gridley-area homeowner to benefit from new rules for a state program geared to provide solar power to low-income homeowners. Earlier this spring, GRID Alternatives installed a 4-kilowatt solar power system at Robinson's home. A total of 15 solar panels went up on the roof, installed by volunteers and trainees entering the growing solar field.
10 Years After Hurricane Katrina, Solar Starts Powering The City Of New Orleans
Marking the 10th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, Louisiana private company PosiGen Solar Solutions installed a 25 kW solar array atop the city of New Orleans' resilient City Hall. SimpliPhi Power and Schneider Electric participated in the memorial and charitable event. The 25 kW solar array will generate clean power for the City Hall to reduce energy costs, as well as provide backup power in the event of power disruptions or a future natural disaster. It also helps fight against the extreme climate caused possibly by greenhouse gas emissions.

Although the scale of the project makes it big news, it is also notable for its use of a new type of financing vehicle. Comanche Solar is the first project to receive financing through SunEdison's $1.5 billion First Reserve warehouse facility. The financial vehicle is an example of how project financing is evolving to meet the needs of investors and developers alike.
