Closing Contingencies Standard Language in Real Estate Contracts
Byline: Tom Resnick
Q. My husband and I found a house we like and want to sign a contract to buy it. We recently signed a contract to sell our existing home.
We cannot purchase the new home if we don't sell our existing home. We want to protect ourselves in case something goes wrong with our sale. We asked someone about a sale contingency but we were told that because we already sold our home, that would not apply.
Do we just have to take a chance and hope our buyers go through with the deal?
A. If you look at paragraph 31 of the 11-page standard form contract most commonly used in our area, you will note two separate contingencies.
Paragraph 31(B)(1) makes the contract contingent on the purchaser entering into a contract to sell their current property on or before a certain date.
Paragraph 31(B)(2) makes the contract contingent on the purchaser closing on their current property on or before a certain date.
In your situation, you would make your purchase contingent upon your closing on your present residence on or before the date you are obligated to purchase the new property. In the event your sale is delayed for any reason, you may request an extension of the home close contingency from your seller.
Most other form contracts contain similar optional language. In the event your form contract does not contain such language, it may be either written on the existing form contract as part of your offer or can be addressed by your attorney during the attorney review period, usually five business days after the date of acceptance.
Q. My husband and I were divorced about two years ago. Part of our agreement was that me and my children could remain in our house until our youngest child graduates high school, about two years from now. My ex-husband is responsible for making the mortgage and real estate tax payments. When my youngest graduates high school, I must either refinance and get him off the mortgage or sell the house.
Yesterday, a sheriff appeared at my front door and handed me a Summons and a Complaint for Foreclosure. …

Reson~ with sharp Q has long attack/decay. Why?
I'm trying to extract information about a few specific frequencies from an audio stream.
The easiest way, I thought, was to use a reson~ object at the desired frequency with an extremely high Q, say 10,000. However, I noticed that by doing so, I lose temporal resolution: if the input signal abruptly switches away from the resonant frequency, it takes output from reson~ a long time to catch up.
Why is this?
I'm attaching a patch that shows this effect clearly. Use the preset to pre-load the reson~ filter with the correct settings, then use the messages attached to the cycle~ object to jump between frequencies.
I'm not attached to reson, so if there's a better way to isolate specific frequencies very quickly (say with a +/- 25hz bandwidth and 100ms response time) I'm all ears.

normal digital time domain filters are made of delay units. to obtain a very steep rolloff, these filters either need a lot of delay units (i.e. a very long filter kernel) or you use recursive filters, that have a feedback path. reson~ is one of those. so, if you set the resonance very high to make the filter bandwidth small, the feedback coefficients are set high and the filter starts to resonate (to ring).
if you want to reduce the ringing and still have a steep rolloff you could try to put a few of these in series.
in the example below, i used a 4 biquad~s in bandpass mode and it seems to work ok.
if you want to find out, if a signal component is present (and not necessarily filter the signal) you could look into goertzel filters. these are used in DTMF signaling. if you are on osx and want to try it out, you can find an goertzel filter external here http://www.esbasel.ch/Downloads/MaxMSP-Objects.htm

Volker, thanks very much for the explanation and patch. I've only been able to give it a cursory look but the response seems to be much faster. Thanks. I've also downloaded your goertzel filter; my end goal with this is actually quite similar to DTMF recognition.
Hi Volker,
thanks alot for the goertzel filter !
I have one question about its frequency resolution:
Are the frequency bins centered on multiples of sr/blocksize like with DFT ?
Is the output of the goertzel filter any different from the magnitude of the coresponding of a "complete" DFT ?
nochmals vielen Dank,
Umm a q of 10,000 seems excessive to me > at 1000Hz this gives a bandwidth of 0.1 Hz . . .
Is this what you were after? for 25Hz Bandwidth at 1kHz Q would be 40 . . . .
> Is the output of the goertzel filter any different from the magnitude of the
> coresponding of a "complete" DFT ?
no, there shouldn't be any difference, except that the goertzel output is already scaled to 0 – 1 range. also in windowing (gaussian) mode i tried to rescale the values, so they have the same range as with no windowing.
(btw. i just uploaded a new version where this rescaling value is slightly more accurate).
> Are the frequency bins centered on multiples of sr/blocksize like with DFT ?
as i understand it there are no 'bins' involved, so you can look for any kind of frequency.
but you are right, you get the most accurate/stable readings, for frequencies that are multiples of sr/blocksize.
maybe one could think of it, as if the 'in between freqs' are more or less perfect interpolations of the magnitudes of two neighbouring 'bin freqs'.
as i understand it, the goertzel filter is a simple iir filter, you could even build one with a biquad~.
however i was interested in accurate readings, that's why i ended up making an external.
> thanks alot for the goertzel filter !
you are welcome!

Wow. We stumbled upon this place looking for a bathroom! The owner was so nice we decided to stay for dinner. Joel treated us like family. We barely picked anything, he picked for us. Best meal in Spain by far. Amazing.
After rejecting the food at Alfonso V! Hotel on our holiday we found this delightful restaurant.
The best meal on our Toledo holiday served by the French owner.
Great food , wonderful wines and conversation in a restaurant full of charm.
Part of the building dates back to a Roman Villa. A really delightful experience.
Not to be missed when visiting Toledo. We had a superb meal and the decor is stunning. We had the menu, which was quite tasty. Service was friendly and efficient.
Interesting room in a very old palace. Good service. Very pleasant owner. Most important: super-quality food. A venison worth three stars and a selection of delicious desserts. I loved it, and so did all my friends.
This old palace shows the historical plurality of Toledo, being first a moor palaced, then owned by christian nobility. But in the top floor we found the breathtaking view of Toledo and its Alcázar, even better in the night. Food was very good too and service very nice. If I go back to Toledo I will repeat.
My friends and I just chanced upon El Palacete after walking for hours up & down steep hills in the narrow Toledo streets. We were tired and hungry and El Palacete was just there when we needed it. The food was delicious and the host was charming and entertaining. The building has its origins in Roman times, the ambience is...
We were walking around Toledo and came in the restaurant by chance - the owner invited us to evaluate the architecture of the building. We appreciated - and stayed for lunch. First the building. It overlaps and mixes some eras and styles. Elements and fragments from the Romanesque to the Arab carefully integrated into the interior. The central part of...
We were traveling on an extended family vacation - 20 of us including 7 children. The manager of this restaurant offered to open the restaurant especially for us. He offered a set menu with 3 choices for main course, wines deserts, everything. The food was excellent - from great starters to the main courses - I had steak like no...
Well, the place looks stunning. This is a well preserved old mansion with a view to die for. Regretfully, the food and service were rather abysmal. Despite just three tables being occupied, the service was painfully slow. We have started with quite good aged cheese served with bread, garlic and honey. It all went downhill from there. The salmorejo soup,...
We came across the restaurant by accident and it turned into a very memorable experience. The manager was so gracious, spoke several languages, and gave us one of the highlights of our trip. We enjoyed the salmoreja and the heirloom tomato salad (similar to caprese) so much that I have already tried to duplicate it twice at home. Be sure...

Update for my previous revew
This review is from: ADATA Premier Pro 16GB microSDHC Flash Card w/Adapter Model AUSDH16GUI1-RA1
Pros: FAST, FAST, FAST (if your using USB 3.0)
Cons: It doesn't do my taxes!
Other Thoughts: I have a native USB 3.0 motherboard (asus usb 3/pro gx) and this card reads at 44 mb/s and 40 mb/s write! Yes that is NOT a typo 40 mb/s write! (using ATTO) Don't buy anything else your search is over! My earlier review was with USB 2.0 since I did not own a USB 3.0 card reader to test this with. I have 2 other brand class 10 cards and they both read at 40 mb/s but write at 10 mb/s.

Nice card
This review is from: ADATA Premier Pro 16GB microSDHC Flash Card w/Adapter Model AUSDH16GUI1-RA1
Pros: Came with SD card adapter
Cons: Transfer rate on this card using HD Tune and Crystaldisk was at 19MB/s for read and write. When the advertising on the packaging says up to 40MB/s you would think it would do better then 50% of possible speed. The packaging made no promise on minimum so cant take an egg away for that. Tested on my custom built gaming computer and wifes laptop with the same results.
Other Thoughts: 19MB/s is not bad read and write for a miro SD card by no means. It works really well in my 10 MP and 12 MP cameras. It take at least 5 pics in 2 seconds with that card on the cameras burst mode. It records HD movies on it very well, flawless. Just be informed of the realistic expectations.

UH Researcher Develops Treatment for Jellyfish Sting
Full audio available here:
Every month, jellyfish signs are posted, warning Oahu's south shore swimmers to stay out of the water. If you've ever been stung by a box jelly, you'll probably heed these warnings…the results can be painful.
Angel Yanagihara is a biochemist and assistant research professor at UH Manoa. She's developed a treatment for these stings that block the jelly's pore-forming toxins…some of which can be life-threatening. Yanagihara's own research was prompted after she herself suffered a jellyfish attack in the waters near Waikiki.
The treatment is currently the subject of multiple patents and Yanagihara hopes it will be available for market soon as a topical application.
Yanagihara's findings and research were published last Wednesday in the scientific journal PLOS ONE.

Our Christmas Tree by MYPeanutGalleryWatch
©2013-2016 MYPeanutGallery
This is our little Christmas tree. It is about 3 feet tall and has a flat back so it can be hung on the wall. The ornaments date back to the 1970's, when three of my sons were in elementary school. Some were made by Mike, when he was in elementary school, and the rest are gifts from family and friends.
awwwww lovely very cute so lovve those decorations....fantastic
Oh, adorable!

MAC Amplified Creme - Girl About Town

Package Quality: 4.3
Price: $$$
Age: 30-35
Skin: Dry, Fair, Neutral
Hair: Brown, Straight, Medium
Eyes: Brown
This is my favorite bright pink color to wear. It's a blue based bright pink fuschia. It's an Amplified Creme formula, so it's completely opaque, semi-creamy, and really pigmented. It looks really good against my fair skin, but it would look pretty on everybody. I also own Lickable and they look identical, but GAT is a little brighter, and IMO it has a better formula. This is a must have lipstick if you like bright colors.
Age: 25-29
Skin: Normal, Olive, Not Sure
Hair: Brown, Other, Other
Eyes: Brown
This is such a nice color, I love it. really compliments my very yellow NC30-35 color skin. It is so pigmented, it stays on mor than 4 hours and leaves a pretty nice stain. I love it with MAC clear lipglass on top. I will repurchase when this one will expire. I assume I will never be able to finish it before it expires, because it is so pigmented and a usually tab the bullet on my lips and tab with my clean finger after.
Age: 30-35
Skin: Normal, Fair, Neutral
Hair: Brunette, Straight, Other
Eyes: Brown
Beautiful fuschia shade! It instantly brightens my face and teeth. Definitely a quick 'pick me up' for any day. Stays put and fades well. Cooler toned lippie but great for all year round. I pair this with anything - warm, neutral, or cool tones - and it looks wonderful. Great buy! I'm NC20 for reference.

Gorgeous fun color and a great finish! One of my favorites! While I only wear impassioned in the summer this one feels like a year round color to me. I wear it when I need a winter pick me up! And I wear it often in the spring and summer too. I love a bold lip and will wear some sort of bold color daily. I don't like reserving these colors for night or a special occasion. This is such a must have color in my opinion.
Age: 30-35
Skin: Sensitive, Fair-Medium, Warm
Hair: Brunette, Wavy, Fine
Eyes: Hazel
This color is phenomenol. The very first day I ever wore it, everyone (including my boyfriend who HATES bright or red lipstick of any kind) said they loved it. All the girls at sephora wanted to know what I was wearing.
This color is a little drying IMO, but the flip side is it STAYS. I wiped it off before I ate, and it still didn't come off all the way... like it stained my lips. Which I didn't mind at all.
The color is a vibrant bright pink... but I feel like this color could work with almost any skin tone. It is very dramatic, but so very pretty. I will def be buying this from now on. For the record im NC20.
Age: 18 & Under
Skin: Oily, Medium Brown, Not Sure
Hair: Brown, Other, Other
Eyes: Hazel
Loveee this! Looks great.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Acne-prone, Fair, Neutral
Hair: Blond, Wavy, Fine
Eyes: Blue
This is perhaps the most fantastic hot pink lipstick on the market! I am completely serious when I say I can't fathom who this wouldn't look amazing on. It is the most superb Barbie-esque pink ever and it makes my teeth look so white! I will go on with what I like about the product
It applies very smoothly with no patchiness or drying sensation. But it isn't so soft that it bleeds or seems to smudge (Im looking at you YSL RV). I honestly don't wear a lip liner with this because it doesn't bleed, which I am quite paranoid about typically. Like I mentioned before its the perfect cool hot pink which brightens the complexion and whitens the appearance of teeth. It has a glossier finish to it but the pigment is intense. After wearing this all day my lips are lightly stained a sassy darkened fushia which doesn't rub off on my boyfriend when I want to kiss him after getting home from work!
This also wears like a champ! Hours and hours and doesn't smear when I am eating. Serious this lipstick is HG quality and you should have it. You will look like a sassy diva and feel fantastic. If you love a high gloss finish I pair this with MACs Love Alert lip glass. Makes me feel like a drag queen! :)
Age: 19-24
Skin: Dry, Medium Brown, Warm
Hair: Black, Straight, Medium
Eyes: Brown
My usual go to lipstick colors are light baby pinks (think Pink Plaid, Please Me) and I was getting pretty bored with these shades..I wear Rebel occasionally but I wanted something a little bit brighter. Today my friend gave me a tube of this and I love it! Nicely pigmented and suits my NC30 skin well. Stays on quite well for an amplified shade (I love my matte lipsticks) and leaves a nice stain after. Beautiful!!
Age: 25-29
Skin: Combination, Dark, Neutral
Hair: Brown, Straight, Other
Eyes: Brown
This was my first fuchsia lipstick LOVE from MAC. Such an amazing color. A staple in my lipstick collection. Will be buying it again very soon!
Age: 19-24
Skin: Normal, Fair-Medium, Not Sure
Hair: Black, Other, Other
Eyes: Black
I've always wanted to buy Girl About Town when I saw Beyonce wearing the color. At the time, my mum wouldn't let me wear makeup. I had to wait for years because the shade is not available here in the Philippines. During my recent trip to Chicago, I tried it on and I loved the way it looked on me.
This is a bold lipstick that manages to be wearable. It's bright and bold but very wearable. It's a bold look for day and it's beautiful for a night out. It wears for 6 hours on me. I have no complaints. I wore this when we were visiting Los Angeles and I got complimented a lot.

About Madison Square Garden
Madison Square Garden's distinction as the "World's Most Famous Arena" may sound like typical East Coast braggadocio, but don't underestimate this legendary multi-purpose indoor arena — a bona fide NYC landmark that's used for everything from professional basketball and ice hockey games, to massive concerts, ice shows, circuses and more. Located in the heart of Manhattan, MSG is known as the home of the New York Rangers (NHL), the New York Knicks (NBA) and legendary singer-songwriter Billy Joel (NYC MVP), who performs there monthly in the venue's first-ever artists' residency.
For this event, the Sit With Friends feature has been disabled because the ticket supplier is not able to seat you together with parties who purchased separately. You will only be seated together for tickets purchased in a single transaction. Accessible Seating is not available through Goldstar for this event. These tickets have been provided to us by another ticket supplier and may include a name that's not yours and a price that differs from what is listed on our website. These are authentic, valid tickets. You must print your tickets and present them upon arrival in order to gain entry to the event. Electronic versions on mobile devices may not be accepted.

I woke at 4 a.m. with a massive hard-on. I picked up the phone and gave Ruthie a booty call. I wanted to mount her so very, very much. I had it REAL bad !

When a phone is put in a persons back pocket and the person's booty calls a number by accident.The call can go on own for great lengths. The chance of intensely boring/defamating content being tansmitted over the line is strong likelyhood.

But there are also times I love having an open bed. But I dont want a bed cover either. So looks like I'll just have to suck it up.
Again, your's looks great!
If you want the option of coverage and also open bed.. Just suck it up and get a tri-fold cover
.. I got a soft one.. Great and handy, flips up for when I need the box open.. and when I want it fully gone it takes me 1 minute max to remove it and place it back on.
That cap looks real good by the way. I couldn't get one because I use my bed for very odd shaped big objects and it would be a pain to remove and install. Very handy to have though.. and then you could carpet the back.. throw a air mattress in it and go camping where ever you want whenever it pleases you

Jared Leto doesn't feel connected to where he grew up.
The Oscar-winning actor admits he is glad he "escaped" from his hometown Bossier City, Louisiana at an early age because "it's very oppressive."
In a joint interview with his older brother Shannon Leto, the 'Dallas Buyers Club' star told the new issue of FourTwoNine magazine: "We escaped early on. It's very oppressive. We would go back for the summers and stay with our grandmother, though. So the culture was always there that we returned to.
"We moved around every couple of years growing up. Way up to north Massachusetts. Everywhere. But no matter where we were it was a very creative environment around artists. That is obviously an important reason that Shannon and I are pursuing the path that we are now."
The 30 Seconds to Mars rockers also insist they aren't "adverse" to defining themselves as "queer" without it being a sexual term but a cultural one.
Shannon said: "I wouldn't care."
And Jared added: "I don't think we'd care at all. We certainly identify with people who are different."
He is also happy that his band has a large LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender) fan base.
He said: "I got a note from a kid yesterday. We were signing a thousand CDs after a show. If you looked at him, he looked like any young kid maybe in twelfth grade or eleventh grade who'd be on the baseball team or something. A nice looking kid. He handed me a note and it said, 'I just want to say thanks so much for the music. It's helped me in many ways-especially with coming out this year to my family.'"

What is Word Salad?
Sorry dear, but Word Salad isn't a food. According to thefreedictionary.com, Word salad is "a jumble of words and phrases that lacks logical coherence and meaning, often characteristic of disoriented individuals and persons with schizophrenia". Ha! You should have known. No, I'm not a schizo, although I seem to be like one, don't you think so? Hey, that's fun! You'll be like someone who has infinite powers. Have you read the autobiography of a schizophrenic girl? Pretty cool. You'll think, wow, that's a nice tale. Until you know that it's not fiction, but a biography really it is. By then you'll be scared that you're about to become a schizo. I'm becoming so talkative here. Just forget the real meaning of Word Salad. Believe in your answer that Word Salad is a food. Eat my words! [contact-form]
Hindiakoto. Hindi ako 'to. It's a Filipino phrase, which you can translate to English as "This is not me". I don't remember what was on my mind when I made that username. But most probably I was thinking I wanted a username that is Filipino. It is also an automatic satirical comment for everyone who asks the same question. Situation: I give my site URL to someone and he checks the contents of it. Typical Human: Gawa mo ba 'to? (Is this your creation?) Ikaw ba 'to? (Is this you?) Sarcastic reply: Hindi ako 'to. ( This is not me.)

With Instructables you can share what you make with the world, and tap into an ever-growing community of creative experts.
Surfing online, I found these instructions: How To Braid 5 Stand Bread. I tried this technique using ribbon but it didn't turned out pretty so I changed "side ...
Secure 5 strands of ribbon on a D-ring. Then hang/tie D-ring somewhere so both of your hands are free to braid/weave. I'll name these 5 strands from left ...
Bring STRIPES over SWISS DOTS.
Then weave STRIPES under SOLID.
Left side, bring SUPER DOTS over LOLLIPOP. It's OK if it doesn't look balanced because we'll cut the beginning part off later.
Weave SUPER DOTS under STRIPES
Again on right side, bring SWISS over SOLID.
Weave SWISS under SUPER DOTS
Left side, bring LOLLIPOP over STRIPES
Then LOLLIPOP under SWISS DOTS.
On right side, braid SOLID over SUPER DOTS, then under LOLLOPOP.
On left, braid STRIPE over SWISS DOTS, then under SOLID.
Continue until the braided stripe is about 17" long.
Here is the closer look on one of the ends. Next we need to cut the extra ribbon.
Cut SWISS DOTS, then use fabric-tac to glue SWISS DOTS and LOLLIPOP together.
Cut LOLLIPOP, then use fabric-tac to glue LOLLIPOP and SOLID together.
Cut SUPER DOTS then glue SOLID and SUPER DOTS together.
Cut STRIPES and glue LOLLIPOP and STRIPES together
Cut SOLID and glue LOLLIPOP and SOLID together. Seal the ribbon ends.
Cover the braided headband base with this braided ribbon stripe. Then repeat step 14-18 to trim the extra length and finish the other end.
Use fabric-tac or glue gun to glue the end of braided stripe on headband base as shown.
Glue all the way to the other end.
Done.(It's really fun to pick the prettiest colors and make them combo. We have a photo album for headbands: Photo Gallery--Headbands. I just added mine and would love ...

In the age of the blogger, when writers (particularly those in the commentariat) are everywhere, it's easy not to realize that the work of most writers is invisible—and the writers invisible as well. It's partly that writing is solitary work that can take a very long time to produce. It's also that most writing is never published or, when it is, not widely read. Some of the saddest publishing stories involve books that are remaindered and then destroyed after only a few weeks of life. It is also one of publishing's hardest rules that most books and most writers are given only a single chance.
Besides the blogosphere, what is visible, of course, is stores bursting with an unending supply of new titles that have jockeyed their way into print, the often temporary winners in a lottery whose entrants are the work of an ever increasing number of writers. For whatever reason, vast numbers of people want to write—usually in English where the largest market is—and want other people to read what they've written. Many have paid their dues in various ways—long apprenticeships, time in writing programs and writing groups, endless and dedicated hours at desks. Some are both gifted and lucky. Some are just lucky, catching a wave that starts or joins a passion for vampires or dominatrixes or how to do anything, especially lose weight or save a relationship or a prostate. Of all the hordes of writers, the fiction writer's lot may be the most difficult. It's not easy to write even bad fiction and, though so many writers have ambitions to write novels and often try, something like 90% of published work is non-fiction. Statistically, things are just tough.
As a fiction writer myself, I have a pretty much limitless selection of rejection stories and near misses to go with a far smaller number of successes. That's probably true of most people who've stuck with writing fiction as a lifetime vocation, although the stories of invisibility I can tell from the inside out are just my own. Here are some of them. Does it matter at all that my first novel, written in my twenties, was taken on by a great agent and considered by some of the best and most experienced editors in New York? It does not except for what I learned from the experience—that something in my writing struck a chord with good readers even when I was offering work I hadn't even begun to master, that rejection, which ensures invisibility, is painful, that the early experience of making the secret page of the writer open to even a handful of people can be deeply unsettling.
My second decade of serious writing taught me a great deal more about invisibility. My unagented shorter work, going "over the transom" to a long list of journals—each effort like a blind date—moved me into the ranks of published writers though, when the first story appeared, I was already thirty-eight and felt as ancient and desperately unsuccessful as the wonderful Cynthia Ozick did when her first fiction appeared at the same age. For me, that was the beginning of a series of publications but, with each one, I felt as if I'd tossed a rock into the ocean. I had no idea if anyone ever read the stories, no idea if anyone liked them. There were some laudatory comments from editors who had accepted them—"we've had a ton of submissions for this contest but nothing that begins to compare with this"; "it's an amazing novella and we won't change a word"—but each publication seemed to offer nothing more than a pale line on a résumé.
By the 90s, when I began to feel just slightly noticed with awards and fellowships and occasional letters from agents or editors who actually had read a published story and wondered if I was working on a novel, I encountered a new and stranger form of invisibility. One of my stories was published in a journal in the UK and, some months later, a friend in London came across a later issue of the same journal that had both a glowing comment on the story from a writer who'd won their international competition and a note from the editor that many other readers had also written in with praise. I was thrilled, but I was also very aware I would have known nothing about it without my friend's report.
That was just the beginning of such unexpected events. By the 2000s and the new age of Google searches, I had stumbled on information that someone was teaching an online course that included one of my stories alongside classics from writers like Shirley Jackson and Tim O'Brien. My biggest surprise came when eight years after the original publication of the story in England, I learned it had been anthologized in a Penguin collection of best stories by Katherine Mansfield and Eudora Welty and a host of other remarkable women writers. By then, I was deep in a period of intense work on novels—researching and writing new ones and, revisiting and rewriting earlier ones. That was my focus. Yet I knew, that some of these things I'd discovered late—or perhaps never learned about at all—might have made a real difference for my writing career in the late 90s when I had work being seriously considered by more top agents and editors at top places. It was a particularly acute moment of invisibility.
Thinking about all this and being aware that the Sky Spinner books—in spite of the enthusiasm from so many readers I'm truly grateful to—may be destined to reside in their own invisible world (another long story having to do with the vagaries of marketing and the various imprimaturs and rules and assumptions in publishing), I feel the same kind of bemusement that has come to me often in my writing life. What an odd juncture of timing, luck, connections, and business decisions goes into the choices we're given about what to read. It's a baffling thing. Yet if this sounds like a cri de coeur, it's not really. Rather, I'm thinking about a silver lining—that so many wonderful books do make their way into our lives. In fact, I'm reminded again of Hilary Mantel, whose work I've just blogged on. Recently, I heard her interviewed by Kerri Miller on Minnesota Public Radio. She was talking about Bring up the Bodies, and the whole Wolf Hall trilogy, and she said that until these books, she hadn't known if she had a real audience, that her work can't be easily categorized and, though critics have liked it, she hadn't had many readers. Now that's she's suddenly experiencing true success with both critics and readers, she finds herself surprised and very happy, even gleeful.
I love that. I am so pleased she has had this good fortune, late as it may be. For one thing, it means I've had the amazing experience of reading her work. It also confirms my innate feeling that life isn't unfair if, odd lottery or not, things can actually work out. This also has brought me to a small realization. When I was a child, my father often accused my mother of being a Pollyanna. Reading what I've just written, I have to assume I inherited that gene from her to go with the one that reflects my father's more cynical nature. If so, let me share it with you. When you hear about writers who claim they're serious about their work but have a thin to non-existent list of publications or very few sales, consider reserving judgment. It doesn't mean they haven't written good books. It doesn't mean they haven't written very good books. In fact, there's a real chance they're simply invisible.


text: Hello all Georgia area lurkers. I spoke to one of my customers today and he mentioned a riding area in Grady Count between Whigham and Cairo that was slated to be a lake by the federal gov, never happened and after the slated time ran out it was turned back over to grady co after 2006-7? They issue permits for $25.00 per year for off road riding. I was interested to know if any of you guys have ever rode there and can you camp. They also issue hunting permits so I will be looking to go after the new year. I am interested in checking it out since he said there are trails and you could ride pretty much anywhere. If you have rode there and got pics please post and your reviews. THANKS!

For more on the history between United and Real Madrid, read John Ludden's excellent book: Tale of Two Cities: Manchester & Madrid 1957-1968
John is the author of A Tale of Two Cities: Manchester & Madrid 1957-1968. Follow @JohnLudds on Twitter.
Do you have a HD version of that video? Can't make heads or tails of it! Interesting see so many of the spanish women wearing the traditional costumes.
It will be a different story come tuesday night. Mark my words!
Resect to Real Madrid for the teatment they showed to United after the crash.I think we will win on Tuesday because i think they will underestimate us because of the two wins over Barca.
Great story. It shows you can't buy history, you make it as these two greta teams have done.
Proud to be Red !!
i hope rooney will play a central role against madrid
he played that role against shitty and chelski and he was superbe
he will help the middle.when we loose the ball he will be the extra man
Bring it on madrid we are gonna kick your ass all the way to spain we are not barca we are your dad ,,we are man utd we do what we want
madrid will Sit back and play on the break. Or score from a set-piece.
we must play like if we are away the same tactic against barca in 2008
scoring an early goal will be a huge adventage
there play are only based on the counter attack and set-pices
rafa rio vida evra
young jones carrick nani
in copa Madrid had 38 per cent possession against barca
goal from a penalty a counter that caused pique fault on ronaldo
a counter from di maria for the 2end of cristiano
and varane from a corner
in saturday match ramos scored again from corner
Great write up, great story all along, this why we love this blog a really great recap of our memorable encounters vs the virus
Great history between these clubs. Real probably something to answer to for being the Chavs of world football, but they deserve respect for how they helped United after Munich.
Ala Madrid, but not tomorrow! HA We come to win the tie!
The "analysis" of the match in Madrid is strange – both teams scored once; Madrid had two great chances from Coentrao saved by DDG but, on the other hand, RVP messed up two great chances and TheLegend faffed about and messed up another. So, on balance of "goals/chances", UTD actually had the better of it.
In terms of "fears" about tomorrow's match, I am haunted by the foreboding that RVP's scuffed bouncer – cleared by Xabi Alonso – will prove to be decisive in the away-goals maths.
United's wonderful record in home games in the knock-out stages of the Champions League since 2007:
v Lille – W 1-0
v Roma – W 7-1
v Milan – W 3-2
v Lyon – W 1-0
v Roma – W 1-0
v Barca – W 1-0
v Inter – W 2-0
v Porto – D 2-2
v Arsenal – W 1-0
v Milan – W 4-0
v Bayern – W 3-2
v Marseille – W 2-1
v Chelsea – W 2-1
v Schalke – W 4-1
Another fine article. They nerves have well and truely kicked in for tomorrow. Off topic. Theres a doc on channel 5 2nite at 10pm About the munich air crash.. could be intresting
Hey Denton Davey, if you're going to C+P a post from The Telegraph, at least credit the person who went to the trouble of looking up the results!

Bay Area Disc Association was founded in 2008. We strengthen the Ultimate community by creating opportunities for youth, club and adult recreational athletes to interact, develop and compete. We foster positive playing and learning experiences and embrace Spirit of the Game in all aspects of our work and play.
Our camp is open to players of all ability levels.
Our camp is for high school players from the ages of 14-18.
Our camps are open to both boys and girls. Some activities will be done in a mixed environment and some will be done in a single gender environment.
All meals are provided daily for Overnight Campers starting with lunch on Sunday and ending with lunch on Wednesday. Lunch and Dinner are provided daily for Extended Day Campers each day starting with lunch on Sunday and ending with lunch on Wednesday. Lunch is included for all Day Campers Sunday-Wednesday.

We provide a ratio of 1 staff member for every 10 campers. This ensures lots of one-on-one attention and teaching for each camper.
The Nike Utimate Camp counselors and staff are hand-selected based on their ability to lead and supervise. We will have a staff member available for campers during all hours of the night should they need assistance. Campers will be transported to a local hospital in case of an emergency.
We will continue play during rain, but during extreme weather conditions, we will move indoors to work on fitness or have chalk talks.
Oakland International Airport (OAK) or San Francisco International Airport (SFO)
Nike Ultimate Camps do not provide transportation to/from camp from airport, train stations or bus depots. If you have a camper arriving by air who is deemed an "unaccompanied minor" by the airlines and must be met by a camp staff or shuttle company employee, there will be a fee that needs to be paid in advance of camp. You will still have to arrange transportation to/from camp. Please call 1-800-645-3226 two weeks prior to camp to provide camper's flight and shuttle information.
A detailed camper registration packet containing check in location, health/release forms, emergency contact info, and a list of things to bring will be emailed to all registered campers in the Spring. Our health and release forms do not require a doctor's signature and they will be collected on the first day of camp.
Camp Code: UFXRCA
Amazing camp experience. A strong and welcoming community.
The coaches were great and set a great atmosphere of passion for the game, positive feedback and sportmanship.
It was a fun and exciting camp. It was hard at times but it was enjoyable.
My son had a fabulous time. He made new friends, learned a lot and had a blast! He is already looking forward to next year.
I had a lot of fun at this camp and am seriously considering returning next year!
It was fun and I enjoyed it alot. I got to learn more about the game and it was cool meeting new people and getting to know them.
It was a blast. Coaches were excellent and it was a great time.

[This has been produced primaily for UK ISVs we are engaging around Vista and WinFX development - but hey - you found it, so hopefully you will find it useful]
Author: Eric Nelson, Microsoft Ltd, UKInitial Release: 7th March 2006Last Updated: 18th July 2006Current Vista CTP: July - MSDN SubscribersCurrent .NET Framework 3.0 CTP: July - public downloadLast Beta Vista: Beta 2 - MSDN Subscribers (and was public for a few weeks)Last Beta .NET Framework 3.0: Beta 2 - public download
.NET Framework 3.0 (formally known as WinFX) and Windows Vista are currently in Beta. The product teams are releasing regular builds which we can download and use for development. These builds are called Community Tech Previews (CTPs). The good news is CTPs get released frequently (every month or so), the bad news is they are tested less rigorously than the more infrequent Beta releases of Vista and WinFX.
There is an offical Beta 2 of both technologies which are the easiest to get up and running. However there are later CTPs - at the time of writing we have June and July CTPs which came after the Beta 2 releases.
Beta 2 is significant in that applications built against .NET Framework 3.0 Beta 2 can be deployed into live environments thanks to a go-live license . The later CTPS do not include a go-live license.
.NET Framework 3.0 contains three main technologies:
Vista contains many new features which applications can take advantage of other than those we associate with .NET Framework 3.0. There is a great 200 page chm file to download which covers these in a fair bit of detail.
Setting Up a Development Machine:
Vista and .NET Framework 3.0 are in beta right now - they can (and do!) have problems and I would not recommend them for installation on your current development machine. You therefore have three options:
The next choice is whether to develop .NET Framework 3.0 using a Windows XP OS or Vista. Both Vista and WinFX are in beta and have different development teams and different release cycles. In general .NET Framework 3.0 runs fine on top of Vista BUT is a slightly more problematic environment than .NET Framework 3.0 on top of Windows XP. Therefore:
Beta 2 or June CTP or July CTP?You now need to decide which builds of Vista and .NET Framework 3.0 you wish to work with. Right now you have three alternatives. The safest route is to go with Beta 2 - but the later CTPs introduce new bug fixes and in the case of Workflow represent a later release candidate. Tom has produced a great blog looking at the alternatives. I would suggest you check that out first before going any further.
The following are the instructions if you elect to go with Beta 2.
Setting up a Beta 2 machine for .NET Framework 3.0 development (in guest OS or dual boot or second PC)
You should now be ready to start developing for .NET Framework 3.0 and/or Windows Vista.
Learning the Technology
There is a lot of resources out there for .NET Framework 3.0 development - articles, blogs, webcasts and even books. We have now pulled most of that together under http://www.netfx3.com/ . A good UK site is http://www.winfxguide.com/
Windows Presentation Foundation (codename Avalon) http://wpf.netfx3.com/ I still need to pad out this section but for now check out the top level MSDN site http://msdn.microsoft.com/windowsvista/building/presentation/ and also the blog of my old friend/colleague and WPF evangelist Tim Sneath.
Specifically check out his First Steps to Learning WPF.
Windows Communication Foundation (codename Indigo) http://wcf.netfx3.com/I would also recommend you read two articles to get going with WCF:
Check out the many sampled in the Windows SDK - extremely good, easy to setup and easy to learn.
Windows Workflow Foundation http://wf.netfx3.com/You can now build applications that make use of Windows Workflow - but where to start? Firstly you are not alone - there are plenty of folks already exploring this technology and sharing what they find. Take a look at the main site http://wf.netfx3.com/ to see just how much is being written about Windows Workflow and the breadth of samples that already exist (NB: many are still for Beta 1) and a number of good blogs to check out.
You might also like to put your headphones on and have a listen to the recordings of the PDC sessions on Workflow. The following are worth checking out:
There is a good book available based on Beta 1 - easy to read and plenty of detail. Order from Amazon "Presenting Windows Workflow Foundation"
Check out the many samples in the Windows SDK - extremely good, easy to setup and easy to learn.
Windows VistaI would recommend you first take a whirl as an end user of what is included in Windows Vista. This is now nicely summarized at http://www.microsoft.com/windowsvista/. Once you have that out of the way you can begin to think about how to develop for Windows Vista.
A good overview article on the the top ten features can be found at http://msdn.microsoft.com/windowsvista/top10/
In H2 of 2005 the Windows SDK team started working on the "Windows Vista Developer Story" - a 500+ page document provides real content to developers looking to get started writing Windows Vista applications using the new Windows SDK. There is an initial release of this (200 pages or so) which I would highly recommend.

Tribulations:- We are in Tribulation Period. Tares
- Uploaded by Nijjhar on Oct 24, 2011

Tribulations:- We are in Tribulation Period. Tares are getting bundled up in Israel -1. In this Dark Age, greed dominates and to cure the spiritually sick greedy people Christ appears. Now, both the anointed Christs Jesus and Nanak have appeared and there is none other to appear. There are Four Prophets with John, the Baptist, Elijah but hardly anyone knows even that never mind Christ Jesus. University Professors being the men of letters are super donkeys carrying. Very funny question to ask them. Try it. Yahweh is the demiurge god of Nature or of the Natural man and he is the creator. In Punjabi, we call him Brahma but hardly any Sikh knows either.

New FDA Study Seeks Feedback on Lasik Surgery
Latest Eyesight News
FRIDAY, Oct. 16 (HealthDay News) -- The percentage of patients who experience serious quality-of-life problems after Lasik eye surgery is being studied by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, which has also issued warning letters to a number of Lasik facilities that weren't properly reporting problems with the procedure.
The FDA study, which will also identify factors that predict quality-of-life problems in Lasik patients, has three phases. Phase 1, launched in July 2009, involves the design and launch of a Web-based questionnaire to assess patient-reported outcomes and evaluate quality-of-life issues after the laser-assisted eye surgery.
Phase 2 will examine quality of life and satisfaction among patients treated at the Navy Refractive Surgery Center, and phase 3 will be a national, multi-center clinical trial to study quality of life after Lasik among the general population.
"This study will enhance our understanding of the risks of Lasik and could lead to a reduction in patients who experience adverse effects from the procedure," Dr. Jeffrey Shuren, acting director of the FDA's Center for Devices and Radiological Health, said in an agency news release.
If the study identifies any problems with the safety or effectiveness of the lasers used in Lasik surgery, the agency will evaluate whether any action is necessary.
In related news, the FDA also noted in the release that it issued warning letters to 17 Lasik ambulatory surgical centers after inspections revealed that the centers had inadequate systems for reporting problems suffered by patients. The types of problems were specified.
"Many people in the U.S. undergo Lasik procedures. Ambulatory surgical centers that perform Lasik must maintain a robust reporting system as required by law," Shuren said in the news release. "Reporting adverse events to the FDA is critical to better understand the safety and effectiveness of ophthalmic lasers used in Lasik procedures and to enable the FDA to take appropriate actions where the lasers do not meet safety and effectiveness requirements."

Odds of Hanging On
This wrinkle depends on how good you are, how valued you are at your studio, and also on just a little bit of luck. Times may get rough now and then, financially speaking, and you'll have to be able to weather the storm. If you still love it after realizing that you're never going to be able to afford that yacht you always wanted, you aren't discouraged by the fact that you can't seem to get any Playboy models to pose nude for you, and you are making enough to eke by, then you just might be able to make this your lifelong pursuit. If not, get that orthodontia degree and do photogging as a hobby. Sugar will make you wealthy in the former career and then you can afford the really nice shiny hardware without worrying about the trade-off of new camera vs. eating this month.

What Is a Foreign Object in the Eye?
A foreign object in your eye is something that enters the eye from outside the body. It can be anything—from a particle of dust to a metal shard—that does not naturally belong there. When a foreign object enters your eye, it will most likely affect the cornea or the conjunctiva.
The cornea is a clear dome that covers the front surface of the eye. It serves as a protective covering for the front of the eye. Light enters the eye through the cornea. It also helps focus light on the retina at the back of the eye.
The conjunctiva is the thin mucous membrane that covers the sclera—the white of your eye. The conjunctiva runs to the edge of the cornea. It also covers the moist area under your eyelids.
Foreign objects can cause abrasions, or scratches, on your cornea. These injuries usually are minor. However, some types of foreign objects can cause infection or damage your vision. A foreign object that lands on the front part of the eye cannot get lost behind the eyeball.
Symptoms of a Foreign Object in the Eye
If you have a foreign object in your eye, you probably will suffer immediate symptoms. You may experience:
- a feeling of pressure or discomfort
- a sensation that something is in your eye
- eye pain
- extreme tearing
- pain when you look at light
- excessive blinking
- redness or a bloodshot eye
Cases in which a foreign object penetrates the eye are rare. Typically objects that enter the eye are the result of an intense, high-speed impact like an explosion. Foreign objects that penetrate the eye are called intraocular objects. Additional symptoms of an intraocular object include discharge of fluid or blood from the eye.
Causes of a Foreign Object in the Eye
Many foreign objects enter the conjunctiva of the eye as a result of mishaps that occur during everyday activities. The most common types of foreign objects in the eye are:
- eyelashes
- dried mucus
- sawdust
- dirt
- sand
- cosmetics
- contact lenses
- metal particles
- glass shards
Dirt and sand fragments typically enter the eye because of wind or falling debris. Sharp materials like metal or glass can get into the eye as a result of explosions or accidents with tools such as hammers, drills, or lawnmowers. Foreign objects that enter the eye at a high rate of speed pose the highest risk of injury.
Emergency Care for a Foreign Object in the Eye
If you have a foreign object in your eye, prompt diagnosis and treatment will help prevent infection and potential loss of vision. This is especially important in extreme or intraocular cases.
Removing a foreign object yourself could cause serious eye damage. Get immediate emergency treatment if any of the following factors exist with the foreign object:
- it has sharp or rough edges
- it is large enough to interfere with closing your eye
- it contains chemicals
- it was propelled into the eye at a high rate of speed
- it is embedded in the eye
- it is causing bleeding in the eye
If you have a foreign object embedded in your eye, or you are helping someone who has this problem, it is important to get medical help immediately. To avoid further injury to the eye:
- Restrict eye movement.
- Bandage the eye using a clean cloth or gauze.
- If the object is too large to allow for a bandage, cover the eye with a paper cup.
- The uninjured eye also should be covered. This will help prevent eye movement in the affected eye.
Your situation also warrants emergency treatment if the following symptoms are present after any type of object is removed:
- you still have a sensation of having something in your eye
- you have abnormal vision, tearing, and/or blinking
- your cornea has a cloudy spot on it
- the overall condition of your eye worsens
Home Care for a Foreign Object in the Eye
If you suspect you have a foreign object in your eye, it is important to initiate treatment promptly to avoid infection and the possibility of damaged vision. Take these precautions:
- Do not rub or put pressure on the eye.
- Do not use any utensils or implements, such as tweezers or cotton swabs, on the surface of the eye.
- Do not remove contact lenses unless there is sudden swelling or you have suffered a chemical injury.
If you suspect you have a foreign object in your eye or are attempting to help someone who has one, take the following preliminary steps before initiating any home care:
- Wash your hands.
- Look at the affected eye in an area with bright light.
- To examine the eye and find the object, look up while pulling the lower lid down. Follow this by looking down while flipping up the inside of the upper lid.
The safest technique for removing a foreign object from your eye will differ according to the type of object you are trying to remove and where it is located in the eye.
The most common location for a foreign object is under the upper eyelid. To remove a foreign object in this position:
- Immerse the side of your face with the affected eye in a flat container of water. While the eye is under water, open and close the eye several times to flush out the object.
- The same results can be accomplished using an eyecup purchased from a drugstore.
- If the object is stuck, pull out the upper lid and stretch it over the lower lid to loosen the object.
To treat a foreign object located beneath the lower eyelid:
- Pull out the lower eyelid or press down on the skin below the eyelid to see underneath it.
- If the object is visible, try tapping it with a damp cotton swab.
- For a persistent object, try to flush it out by flowing water on the eyelid as you hold it open.
- You also can try using an eyecup to flush out the object.
If there are many tiny fragments from a substance, such as grains of sand in the eye, you will have to flush out the particles instead of removing each one individually. To do this:
- Use a wet cloth to remove any particles from the area surrounding the eye.
- Immerse the side of your face with the affected eye in a flat container of water. While the eye is under water, open and close the eye several times to flush out the particles.
- For younger children, pour a glass of warm water into the eye instead of immersing it. Hold the child face up. Keep the eyelid open while you pour water into the eye to flush out the particles. This technique works best if one person pours the water while another holds the child's eyelids open.
Physician Care for a Foreign Object in the Eye
Contact your physician if the foreign object in your eye has conditions that warrant emergency treatment or if:
- you did not succeed in removing the foreign object at home
- your vision remains blurred or otherwise abnormal after the removal of the foreign object
- your initial symptoms of tearing, blinking, and/or swelling persist and do not improve
- the condition of your eye worsens despite the removal of the foreign object
If you pursue treatment from your physician for a foreign object in your eye, you may undergo an examination that includes the following steps:
- An anesthetic drop will be used to numb the eye's surface.
- Fluorescein dye–a dye that glows under special light–will be applied to the eye via an eye drop. The dye reveals surface objects and abrasions.
- Your physician will use a magnifier to locate and remove any foreign objects.
- The objects may be removed with a moist cotton swab or flushed out with water.
- If the initial techniques are unsuccessful at removing the object, needles or other instruments may be used.
- If the foreign object has caused corneal abrasions, you may be given an antibiotic ointment to prevent infection.
- For larger corneal abrasions, eye drops containing cyclopentolate or homatropine may be administered to keep the pupil dilated. Painful muscle spasms could occur if the pupil constricts before the cornea heals.
- You will be given acetaminophen to treat pain from larger corneal abrasions.
- A computed tomography (CT) scan or another imaging study may be required for further investigation of an intraocular object.
- You may be referred to an ophthalmologist–a physician who specializes in eye care–for further assessment or treatment.
Recovering from a Foreign Object in the Eye
If you succeeded in removing a foreign object from your eye, your eye should begin to look and feel better in about one to two hours. During this time, any significant pain, redness, or tearing should subside. An irritating sensation or minor discomfort may remain for a day or two.
The surface cells of the eye are restored quickly. Corneal abrasions caused by a foreign object usually heal in one to three days and without infection. However, infections are more likely if the foreign object was dirt particles, a twig, or any other object containing soil.
Intraocular foreign objects can result in endophthalmitis, which is an infection of the inside of the eye. If an intraocular foreign object damages the cornea or lens of the eye, your vision could be damaged or lost.
How to Prevent a Foreign Object in the Eye
Foreign objects that may land in your eye accidently during everyday activities can be difficult to anticipate or avoid.
Certain work or leisure activities are more likely to emit airborne objects that could land in your eye. You can prevent getting a foreign object in your eye by wearing protective eyewear or safety glasses when you are involved in activities that could involve airborne objects.
To prevent getting a foreign object in your eye, always wear protective eyewear when:
- working with saws, hammers, grinders, or power tools
- working with dangerous or toxic chemicals
- using a lawn mower
