Lost and Found HopeMature
Durham: I find it abandoned.
Two weeks into my journey, I finally make it to the small yet famous village.
And it's empty.
Empty of people, empty of bodies. And food.
I stand in the square and examine my surroundings, something I'm somewhat of a master of. They too lack damage from the war and devastation from the plague. I begin to wonder whether there's a connection, between the train stations and this town. But then I realize maybe the locations where too small to be targets?
It doesn't matter now.
What matters now...I don't know.
There's no one here, and every building is empty. Like a group of survivors lived here but then packed up and left. Yet I decide to check my grandparents house: just in case.
Crossing the river, I can see the large church towering over the town houses and trees. It was one of the many magnificent sights my civilization had to offer. I feel guilty when I realize no one might look upon it again for decades. And if they do, it will be in shambles.
I discover my grandparents house unlocked, and stocked with food. Spoiled: but it means someone was still living here before they...
I hike up the stairs, wary. I can already smell it. With the air just as empty of scent as the streets of Durham are, the smell of death permeates and dominates. The door creaks open as I push it aside. At least they died together, in bed, as they would have wanted. Holding hands. Smiling.
I can only imagine my parents where here not but days ago. No wait....it's been weeks. And this house was preserved from my parents final visit here. I could imagine it now. They found the door unlocked, and entered. Fresh food was sitting on the dining room counter, never going to be eaten. They travel upstairs, together, and find my grandparents alive, but sick, in bed together.
My mother starts to cry, my grandfather gives instructions to my father. My grandma tries to inspire my mom, and she gives them her last goodbyes before rushing to make the "1500 Durham-Edinburgh".
I close the door, letting my grand parents sleep peacefully in their resting place, then I leave, and lock the door.
And I slide down against the door, and start crying.
I don't care if raiders or cannibals find me, if they are even alive. I don't care if I'm the last person on Earth. I miss Katie and her sarcasm. I miss my grandmother and her flowers, my grandpa and his stories. I miss my parents, who might as well think I'm dead, or vice versa. Why did I leave my house? They could be on their way now, or have already arrived, and found the house destroyed. They think I'm dead. I know they do.
Who am I kidding?
They are dead. I'm a fool to hope they aren't. Everyone's dead. The governments, the anarchist, religious, atheist, right winged, left winged, teachers, students, the poor, the rich, builders, destroyers, doctors, lawyers, famous or unknown, vegetarians, carnavours, cowards, heroes. Musicians. Friends. Family.
The cold chips away at my body, signalling night is coming. I stand up, shaking. I walk effortlessly in a direction I have no idea I'm going. My stomach growls angrily, deprived of it's needs. I'm loosing track of time. It's full on dark now. I don't care. I just wanna die. I want a car to just come swinging around the corner and run me over, as long as i's quick.
And that almost happens.
I barely get a warning when I see the headlights before the car jets around the corner and come racing at me head on.
Some unconscious representative within me decides I want to live, and so I jump out of the way as the car just as it nips my heals and comes crashing to a halt.
I feel the trickle of blood running down my head, but I concentrate on the recognizable slamming of a car doors and an angry woman...no....girl...marching towards me.
"Are you mental?" She screams.

Adam and Eve on a Raft
Life's perfect moments sometimes announce themselves in small and subtle ways. If you're an underpaid, middle-aged waitress, like the heroine of Terrence McNally's play Frankie and Johnny in the Clair de Lune, winding up in bed with a co-worker in your crappy little Hell's Kitchen walk-up might feel like the raw end of a one-night stand. But what if he sees it as the beginning of something more? Nothing can harsh your mellow like somebody trying to have a perfect moment when you just want him to go home and let you get on with your misery. Also, he's looking at you in the light. Ew.
Though the show premièred in 1987, its awkward, bristling romance is a story that seems to never stop happening. This time around, Tim Shawver directs for Nearly Naked Theatre. Curtain time at Phoenix Theatre.
Thursdays-Saturdays, 7:30 p.m. Starts: Feb. 23. Continues through March 9, 2013

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
Hi all,
I'm registered for the Great North Run in September – can't wait!
Though not a club or serious runner, I want to have a go at a good time. I wondered if you could all help me determine what that is!
I'm female, 29 years old, 58kg and a reasonably fit gym-goer and cycle commuter. Three years ago, I completed my first London Marathon in 4hrs26mins (with two toilet stops and a stress fracture!).
Does 1hr45mins seem wildly ambitious? I realise it's a hilly course but I'm willing to put the training in!
Thoughts welcome and appreciated.
Also, I've had a look at the My Asics planner, which seems pretty good but I'm interested to know what other tools you all use to help plan and motivate. iPhone apps in particular.

Showbiz Sandbox 75: Hollywood Stunned By A Jackass (And It's Not Perez Hilton!)
October 18, 2010
Everyone expected the latest installment of the low-rent "Jackass" franchise to bring in a few bucks, especially since it was filmed in 3D, but nobody expected the movie to take in $50 million in its debut weekend and set records for an October opening. Another surprise from this past week came when gossip blogger Perez Hilton told the world he would no longer "bully" or "out" celebrities on his popular website. Hilton has left everyone wondering if he is being honest, or just trying to grab a few headlines.
In television news, the big story was all about the Chilean miner rescue which drew huge ratings for cable news networks. As for some of the season's new shows, we provide an update on which ones seem to be fairing well and which may be headed into a permanent hiatus.
The nominations for the American Music Awards were announced, though instead of pulling names from Billboard's Hot 100 chart, the show relied on the Ultimate Chart published by BigChampagne.

Showbiz Sandbox 58: Celebrities Take Over Broadway
June 14, 2010

Brian Scott Lipton the editor-in-chief of TheaterMania.com was there and he stops by to fill us in on all the big winners, memorable moments and why so many movie stars are currently working in theater.
The 11th Annual Golden Trailer Awards also took place this past week and Stephen Garrett of Kinetic Trailers won two big prizes. He joins us to discuss the current state of movie promos and what its like to win the award for Trashiest Trailer.
At the box office "The Karate Kid" knocked "Shrek Forever After" out of first place after three weeks and provided a little hope for this summer's poor ticket sales. "The A Team" on the other hand opened to poor reviews and even worse box office receipts.
In television news, the final ratings for this past season's television shows have been released. We'll fill you in on which shows finished on top as well as the ones nobody cared to watch. You'll never guess where "The Jay Leno Show" came in (hint: it's not in the top 100).

CORRECTED-UPDATE 2-Canada auto sales best ever in 2013, Ford still tops
(Corrects headline, lead paragraph in Jan. 3 story to show total sales best ever, not just since 2002)
* Truck sales bolster overall sales in 2013
* Honda Civic again most popular car, Ford's F150 truck top vehicle
* Luxury brands also show strength
By Alastair Sharp
TORONTO, Jan 3 (Reuters) - Canadians bought more vehicles in 2013 than ever before, as consumers brushed off high debt and a slow economic recovery to buy trucks and luxury models, though icy weather limited December purchases, numbers released on Friday showed.
Industry-wide sales grew 3.8 percent to 113,036 vehicles in December, bringing total sales for the year to 1.74 million, a 4 percent increase, according to independent auto industry firm DesRosiers Automotive Consultants, which collates manufacturer data. That topped the previous highest sales year of 2002.
Truck sales jumped 6.9 percent while passenger car sales were almost flat for the year, with the discrepancy even wider in December with truck sales up 14.4 percent and car sales shrinking by 9.7 percent.
Ford Motor Co's Canadian arm sold fewer vehicles in December than a year earlier but held its position as the country's best-selling automaker in 2013 as truck sales helped it notch overall growth of 2.7 percent, the company said. Continued...

Efficiency of spreading maize in the garrigues to reduce wild boar (Sus scrofa) damage to Mediterranean vineyards

The aim of this work was to assess the efficiency of dissuasive spreading of maize to reduce the level of wild boar damage to vines in a Mediterranean area (Puéchabon, southern France). The 50 wine growers of Puéchabon were all questioned about the annual losses caused by the wild boar in each vineyard of the study area between 1990 and 1992. We also studied the distribution of the damage on a smaller scale, by mapping the damaged vines within two vineyards. In summer 1993, we distributed 4.7 tons of maize in the woods , and then questioned the wine growers about the losses in each vineyard for 1993. During 1990–1992, on both large and small scales, the damage had a patchy distribution, with more patches of damage occurring close to the woods. Moreover, the later the vines ripened, the less frequent the damage. The severity of the damage was only affected by the distance of the vineyard from woods. In total, the wild boar consumed 20,049 kg of grapes each year between 1990–1992 (193 kg/ha), and 63% of the vineyards were damaged. In 1993, both the density and the compensation paid in the département increased threefold. However, in our study area, both the proportion of damaged vineyards (36%) and the level of damage in the vineyards (151 kg/ha) were reduced, saving more than 60% in compensation. The dissuasive spreading of maize is therefore an efficient tool to reduce the level of damage to vineyards.

New Stereo Cameras Make Seegrid AGV Forklifts More Versatile and Cost Savings
New Stereo Cameras Make Seegrid AGV Forklifts More Versatile and Cost Savings
Reddon explained that AGV forklifts have advanced dramatically over the decades. The Seegrid vision-guided navigation takes the inconvenience out of integrating an AGV vehicle into the business process. "You won't need to install wires or even make substantial changes to the organization of your workspace. These automated forklifts feature range-finding, stereo cameras that can identify and record information about a route. The truck can replay this information, almost like the human mind," commented Reddon.
AGVs cost about $2.24 per hour to operate. A forklift driver may cost $20 to $35 per hour. Besides this savings, flexible AGVs reduce the chance of human error, and because there's no driver, the risk of employee injury drops, as well.
Other benefits of flexible AGVs include:
More flexibility than traditional AGV designs
Accurate maintenance schedules due to consistent and timely labor
Durable performance that will not get sick
No travel or non-value-added duties that would be required of a forklift operator

KIAWAH ISLAND, South Carolina – Jason Dufner showed that low scoring was possible in Saturday's third round of the PGA Championship, taking advantage of calmer conditions to fire a four-under-par 68.
The laid-back American, who was beaten in a playoff by compatriot Keegan Bradley for last year's title, piled up six birdies and two bogeys in stiffening breezes at Kiawah Island to post a two-over total of 218.
He totaled only 25 putts on the challenging Ocean Course to finish six shots off the pace, well before overnight leaders Tiger Woods, Vijay Singh and Carl Pettersson were set to tee off.
"I had a pretty good day today," said Dufner. "Not near as much wind today as yesterday. I putted well, which is nice.
"That's what you have to do on this golf course because you're not going to hit a ton of shots close to the pin and you're going to miss a lot of greens no matter what you do."
The ultra-long Ocean Course is known for its wide fairways 6and elevated greens which resembled upturned saucers and have proved very difficult for the players to hold, despite the layout having been softened by five inches of rain this week.
Friday's second round was made even more challenging as winds gusted up 38 miles per hour, and Dufner was happy with the four-over 76 he ground out in those brutal conditions.
"It was pretty rough yesterday, which makes this golf course play tough," said the 35-year-old, a double winner on the 2012 PGA Tour.
"A couple of mistakes which I wish I had back but much I played much better today than yesterday."
Asked how confident he felt going into Sunday's final round, Dufner replied: "I've been feeling pretty good with my game. Yesterday wasn't too bad with the conditions.
"Just the first day wasn't very good. Today it was nice to kind of bounce back and get going in the right direction."
Steve Stricker got off to a shaky start at this tournament but with another good round under his belt on Saturday he's feeling pretty comfortable about his game.
The American has 26 career wins but is still chasing his initial major championship title and no doubt time is running out for the 45-year-old.
"Two good rounds, so hopefully I can put one more together tomorrow," said Stricker.
Stricker remains in contention at the season's final major after rocketting up the leaderboard Saturday with a five-under 67 under difficult windy conditions on the soggy Kiawah Island Ocean Course.
The world number 14 capped his third round with a birdie on the 501-yard, par-four 18 to reach a two-under 214 total.
"Yeah, that was a good finish," he said of the putt on 18. "You know, it kind of gets me back in it. I'm going to have to have another good one or better one tomorrow."
Stricker's third round included three-consecutive birdies to close out his front nine. He finished with six birdies and one bogey.
Stricker has been in a lull since starting 2012 with a victory at the Tournament of Champions in Kapalua.
His best showing in a major this year is a tie for 15th at the British Open. He tied for 23rd at the British Open and tied for 47th at the Masters.
He was the co-leader after 54 holes at the 1998 PGA Championship before finishing runner-up.Report Typo/Error

See your health care provider right away if you have any of
the following symptoms:
Although headaches are thought to be a common symptom of
Brain Tumor, they may not occur until late in the progression of the
disease. If you notice any significant
changes in your headache pattern or general health then you should visit a
hospital for check-up.
When a patient comes to Medanta with one or more of such
symptoms, Neurosurgeons and their team at Medanta conduct detail physical
examination, investigation of patient history and their genetic background. If
the cause is expected to be tumor, he or she is immediately referred for brain
imaging either by CT scan or MRI scan to locate it and further tests regarding
the functions performed by that area of the brain are done. For example, if the
tumor is located near the pituitary gland which is responsible for hormone
regulation and vision in the human body then patients will undergo vision field
test conducted by an ophthalmologist as well as hormone regulation tests by an
Endocrinologist. The motive is not only to locate the tumor but to design a
complete, effective and long term solution for the patient. With a multi-dimensional super specialty
focus Medanta caters to patients for more than 20 specialties proving to be the
hub for the best set of medical solutions for the patient.
Numerous diagnostic methods are employed for such complete
study of the patient's condition, hence At Medanta, patients have access to the
technologically advanced diagnostic tools such as PET, S PECT, CT (256 slice CT) and 3 Tesla
MRI machines

How To Buy A House Without Going House Poor
How much house can you really afford? Is it the amount the bank tells you when preapproving your loan? Thats what most people go by, oftentimes spending up to their max approval amount to get as much house as possible - or to be able to afford something at all in tight markets.
The debt-to-income DTI ratio, along with your credit score, is what is used by lenders to determine your loan approval and amount. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureaus CFPB efforts to keep this number low notwithstanding, it has been rising to levels that are concerning to industry insiders who fear a widespread wave of homebuyers overextending themselves and becoming unable to support their mortgage payment and other obligations.
The CFPBs Qualified Mortgage QM Rule went into effect in 2014, intended to curb overleveraging by capping a borrowers debt-to-income DTI ratio at 43 percent. "This means that a borrowers total debt expense including total mortgage payment does not exceed 43 of their gross income before taxes are withheld," said the National Association of REALTORS NAR. The rub: Many loans Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and the Federal Housing Administration FHA, are exempt from the 43 percent DTI limit.
The impact higher DTIs are having on the market is clear; a new WalletHub report "analyzed data from 2,533 U.S. cities and ranked all of them on the basis of a lsquo;WalletHub Home Overleverage Score," said 24/7 Wall St, finding that, in many cities, overleveraging is becoming the norm. "The score was derived from a citys median mortgage debt, median house value, median income, mortgage debt-to-income ratio and mortgage debt-to-house value ratio." The top 10 are all well over the 43 percent threshold, with the top three - San Luis Obispo, California at 59.62; Williamsburg, Virginia at 58.76; and Brooksville, Florida at 57.44 pushing 60 percent.
Getting in over your head with a house, either from the get-go when first purchasing, or later on with a home equity line that increases your monthly payments, is a dangerous scenario for homeowners and for the market in general. So how do you keep yourself in check to make sure the house youre buying is one you can actually afford and that youre not in danger of becoming house poor?
Do your own calculations
The bank may be telling you that a 350,000 house is within your means, but are you OK with the monthly payment attached to that price? No one is more familiar with your spending habits than you. Are you really going to be able to cut 500 a month in discretionary spending eating out, movies, clothes shopping, morning lattes to comfortably make your new house payment?
Dont forget about the extra expenses
If youre buying your first home, you may not be estimating your new monthly expenses accurately. Did you include the HOA fee, if the community in which youre looking to buy has one? What about any special assessments, if there are any? And private mortgage insurance PMI if you have an FHA loan and are putting less than 20 percent down on your home. That couple hundred dollars could put you over the top.
Have you also considered your utilities? You may not be accustomed to paying gas and electricity and water and trash if youve been living in an apartment. There could also be an increase in the cost of electricity if you have more square footage to heat and cool.
Watch out for HELOCS
A home equity line of credit HELOC can seem harmless. I mean, its your money, right? And youre using it improve your home, which will only raise its value, right? But what seems like a great idea can also get you in trouble when you tap your home equity. You may be calculating the additional payment for now, but what happens later?
Thats the conundrum thousands are facing right now, as "HELOCs are resetting higher rates and overleveraging homeowners," said Inman. "An analysis bynbsp;Black Knight Financialnbsp;shows that 1.5 million home equity lines of credit will see interest-only draw periods end this year with outstanding unpaid principal balances that average 62,500 per HELOC. The data reveals that average borrowers whose lines of credit reset will face an additional cost of 250 per month, more than double the current average payment."
Keep an open mind
Finding a house you can afford may be challenging - especially for first-time buyers and those in competitive markets that push the affordability index. If you have tight parameters for your house hunt that are making it hard to find something within your budget, consider:
- Extending your area search. You may not be aware of but your Realtor probably is adjacent cities or communities that offer a similar life>
- Buying a condo or townhome instead of a single-family home. Some buyers have an automatic aversion to condos and townhomes because they dont like the idea of living attached. But your real estate agent may know of properties that are end units, that have private yards, and that are two-story units with no one above or below you. It may be that this is your best bet for homeownership you can really afford at this point, and you may find you like it far more than you expected - especially because so many of these communities come with great amenities like a pool and gym, plus front-yard landscaping that is taken care of, saving you time and money.
- Looking at fixer-uppers. A little-known loan called an FHA 203k mortgage may be your "in" to a home you can afford and make your own. The bonus is that its also great for borrowers who may not have the credit and/or down payment to qualify for conventional loans. "The FHA requires a credit score of at least 580 if you want to make the minimum down payment; if you have 10 down, your score can be as low as 500," said Interest.com. "You can borrow more than the home is worth, as long as the repairs will increase its appraised value. The most you can borrow is 110 of what an appraiser estimates it will be worth after renovations, or the cost of the home plus the estimated renovation cost, whichever is less, minus your down payment. The minimum down payment on an FHA loan is 3.5."

Landscaping to Improve Resale: 9 Projects That Fit Within Your Desired Price Point
As the weather starts to heat up each Spring, so too does the housing market. Spring is an optimal time to get your house ready to sell. The first thing that potential buyers will see of your home is the landscaping, so make a great first impression with beautiful outdoor spaces. An investment in landscaping can help sell your home faster and for more money. There are simple projects at every price point that can help you achieve great curb-appeal.
1. Keep the Lawn Well-Manicured
The easiest and most obvious landscape project when hoping to sell your home is to get your lawn looking its best. Spring is a great season to try to sell because your lawn is helped by Mother Nature. Wet, mild Spring weather will help the lawn stay green with less effort. To show off that green lawn, make sure to mow and edge it often.
2. Keep Your Yard Weed Free
It may not cost much, but it will require some time and effort to control the weeds around your property. Spray or pull weeds in flowerbeds, on property borders, and along the driveway. A weed-free yard will help potential buyers feel confident that the home is well cared for, which can create an overall positive impression of your home.
3. Add Flower Pots Near Your Front Door
A splash of color in the yard is a great way to highlight your home. If you are looking to sell quickly, it might be too late to do major yard improvements since new flowers and plants will not have adequate time to grow and mature, but a few beautiful pots of flowers strategically placed near your front door can have a similar effect without requiring a lot of time and maintenance.
4. Add Outdoor lighting
Outdoor lighting has become a trendy feature that buyers have embraced. Lighting can add interest to your yard, highlight areas of beautiful landscaping, and make your home stand out at all times of the day. Solar lights are particularly easy to use because they will recharge during the day and automatically come on in the evening to illuminate your home.
5. Install Curbing/Edging
If you have a little extra money to spend, consider adding curbing or edging around your yard. It helps the landscaping appear crisp and clean, and makes the lawn easier to mow and trim. Savvy buyers will appreciate the ease of maintenance and the defined spaces that curbing creates.
6. Hire a Lawn or Pest Control Company
It is important when selling a home to make sure that their arent any obvious problems. If your lawn is dead or patchy or you have pest problems like spiders, mice, etc, you will need to get those under control. Some of these projects are beyond the scope of what an individual without training can quickly achieve and should be left to professionals. Lawn care companies and exterminators can assess the issues you may have and recommend treatments. This may even be limited to a one time visit that can quickly improve the chances of selling your home.
7. Create Outdoor Living Areas
If you have money to invest in your home, high-end landscaping projects can increase your bottom-line and draw attention from buyers looking for upgrades. Extra living area outside of your home is a huge attention grabber that attracts buyers. This could range from simple patios staged with outdoor furniture, to screened in porches, to full outdoor kitchen areas. Depending on your location, these upgrades may or may not be worth the investment, so do your research before proceeding.
8. Replace or Update Fencing
Fences provide a safe place for children and pets and also give homeowners a feeling of privacy, so they are highly sought after. Fencing is also one of the first things people see when coming to your home. If your fence is an eyesore, it will be worth it to make the effort to have it replaced or fixed up. A new fence is quite an investment, so first determine if your fence can be spruced up with some nails and a new coat of paint.
9. Hire a Professional Landscaper
If you are serious about creating a stunning yard, a professional landscaper can add massive amounts of curb appeal to make your home one of a kind. A landscaper can help you add impressive things like paving stone walkways, decorative retaining walls, and water features. Outdoor improvements definitely increase house values, but it is always good to know what the market will support in your area before moving forward.
No matter how much money you have to invest in your homes landscaping, there are projects you can do this Spring to improve your homes curb appeal and get it noticed by buyers.

Buyers Remourse: The Legal Ties That Bind
Question: We are both in our upper sixties and retired. Last October, we put money down on a condominium apartment that is to be completed around September of this year. We put down ten percent of the price in cash and the money is earning a modest amount of interest until settlement. We have some savings, but the balance would be paid in cash from the proceeds of the sale of our present home.
Although we believe the price of the condominium has gone up slightly since we signed the contract, we now have serious thoughts about apartment living and about putting most of our resources into this transaction because of some new and serious health concerns.
Is there any way we can cancel our agreement and not lose the down payment?
Answer: The lawyer in me says that a contract is a legally binding document that must be upheld. The humanitarian in me suggests that, at the very least, you should try to get out of the contract, especially with the facts you have described.
First, review the terms of the contract very carefully to determine your rights and responsibilities. Are there any contingencies in that contract, such as your ability to obtain financing or the necessity to sell your house? If any of these contingencies legitimately cannot be met, it is possible you have the legal right to declare the contract null and void.
Next, determine whether the contract can be assigned. Although most developer contracts are not assignable, it may very well be that you have the right to sell your contract to someone else. And even if you do not have that right, it never hurts to ask the developer.
For example, if the contract is for 100,000 and the market value now is 110,000, if you have the right to assign that contract, you may find someone who would purchase your contract for the contract price -- or even a few thousand dollars above the contract price.
The person who buys your contract would be obligated to follow through on all of the terms of your contract. In effect, the buyer would be stepping into your shoes, assuming all the rights and responsibilities you presently have.
As I have indicated, although most developer contracts do not permit such assignment, it is worth looking at this aspect of your contract.
Next, do not hesitate to discuss this matter with both the real estate firm representing the seller and try to speak directly with the seller. Explain your situation. They may be sympathetic. If the market for your condominium is anticipated to be strong, the seller-developer may be able to make more money by reselling the property to someone else.
Finally, you may want to consider buying the property and then trying to sell it yourself. Unfortunately, this is risky because there never is any guarantee you will find a buyer quickly and the duplicate settlement costs, financing charges and other settlement->You may also have to pay a real estate commission for that second sale. Realize that until the developer has sold most, if not all of the condominium units, you are competing against the house. And as we know, the dealer always wins.
You indicated you have put down a deposit of ten percent and you do not want to lose the money. However, there are times when a buyer would prefer to walk away from a transaction, lose the money and avoid subsequent aggravation.
Peace of mind sometimes cannot be measured in terms of dollars and cents. Although I cannot recommend forfeiting your deposit, if this is an option you are willing to consider, make sure you discuss the situation with the seller before deciding. Sign a >Basically, if a buyer defaults on a real estate contract, the seller has three options available:
o Suing for specific performance, in effect, asking the court to require you go ahead with the transaction.
o Suing for damages if there are substantial monetary damages involved as a result of your failure to live up to your part of the contract. For example, if the seller has to resell the property at a lower price than your contract price, this would be the measure of damages.
o Electing to retain the deposit as the only remedy. Remember, if you decide to forfeit, make sure the seller agrees, in writing, that the only remedy will be the forfeiture of the deposit. This may also be spelled out in the form contract you signed.
Although I recognize that conditions often change and new circumstances often arise after a contract is entered into, it must be pointed out that, in most cases, the time to decide whether you want to purchase property is before you sign a contract.
After your signature is on the contract and you have given some money down as a deposit, you are legally bound to comply with all the terms and conditions of that document. Your fate basically depends on how the developer reacts to your situation.

I felt the chill of the cold morning air as I stood outside my home. I had nothing with me, only a little bit of money and the clothes on my back.
I stood there for a little bit, not knowing exactly what to do, or where to go. I took a step forward, facing away from the rising sun.
I walked.
What else can I say? I walked ahead, not looking from side to side, not making myself decide. I simply walked down the street, letting each car go by, not caring where the road would lead me to.
I walked until the sun was high, so very high, in the vast blue sky.
That's when I realized how hungry I was.
I checked my pockets. I only had the ten dollars that had been sitting in my bank account. Despair rose in my chest, but I shoved it back down. Ten dollars was enough for a small meal, however meager that meal would be.
I kept walking, deciding that I would happen upon a gas station sooner or later.
I did. I walked into the Texaco and picked up some chips. It wasn't much for lunch, but it was food, and I had to ration my money.
I also grabbed a large water bottle, deciding that it might be a while before I stopped again. I payed for my food.
I traveled for the day, asking passerby's if they had anyway I could earn money. No one did, no one knew of anyone who did. So little by little, as slowly as I drank that water bottle, I let that despair creep it's way into my heart.
And when people get desperate, they do very crazy things.
It was late at night, on my second day of walking. I had spent the rest of my money on water. I was tired and deliriously hungry by that point, and I don't know exactly when I made the decision. But I waited in the shadows, waited for a jogger, or someone, to come along.
It was gentleman out walking. I could see his wallet. He walked right past my hiding place, and ever so slowly, I slipped out of the bushes, and lunged for his back pocket.
The man turned around, and saw me.

My 4 year old has an egg and peanut allergy, and we find ourselves doing a lot of cooking from scratch to avoid problems. We opted out of raisins/cranberries and just made these as eggless oatmeal cookies. They are fantastic! We didn't change a thing about the recipe, and I love when it's that easy 🙂 Thanks so much for sharing this one!

In Saudi Arabia, trials are very closed affairs and the idea of equality of arms – that the defendant should have the same means to defend himself as the prosecution who accuses him – is entirely new, and more often than not, not respected in a Saudi courtroom.
I have seen large number of cases in which the Saudi judged kicked out of the courtroom the lawyer for a defendant in more politically charged cases, in common criminal cases, and in speech cases.
What we have seen now is the Saudi prosecutor has said he wants to file charges... against Hamza Kashgari, the tweeter, as well as against those who "supported or encouraged" Kashgari online. So the fear in Saudi Arabia right now is that this will be a witch hunt against liberals.
The panel that you mentioned earlier is the highest religious authority in Saudi Arabia – the council of senior religious scholars – which sets out interpretations of Islamic law. They have called him an apostate.
So what we are saying is: even if he were to have a lawyer and all legal means of a defence at his disposal, it would be extremely hard to go up against essentially a pre-cooked verdict.
Q: You talked about this 'witch hunt' that people are expecting will unfold in Saudi Arabia. When the prosecutor talk about people who 'supported' Mr. Kashgari, what do you think that means?
There is a degree of increased freedom of expression Saudi Arabia, not so much by government fiat or government policy, but simply by the means of technology now at the disposal of Saudi citizens.
The Arab Spring hasn't had a great impact on Saudi Arabia in terms of public demonstrations or calls for change in government.
But people have shed a good amount of fear in speaking out on even some controversial issues. So on Twitter you will find these days Saudis who are very outspoken about the social ills of that country, the ruling system, and, even sometimes as we see in this case, about the religious dogma.
And I think the prosecution is saying: those who form part of this liberal circle of intellectuals, often very young like Mr. Kashgari, will potentially face charges.
Let me give you a couple of examples: Walid Abu Al-Khair, a Jeddah-based lawyer and activist who I know fairly well, was recently called in to the prosecutor's office and charged with communicating with Human Rights Watch. It's those things that are uncodified, unspecified that lend themselves to political abuse that we see again in this case.
Very recently, a so-called group of Jeddah reformers were sentenced to very long prison sentences, up to 30 years, for allegedly using private meetings and using the Internet to try to overthrow the government. All they did from what we know is discuss ways of political reform.
Q: When I look at the reaction online, I see a Facebook group calling for Mr. Kashgari's execution. I see people on social media tweeting and condemning what Mr. Kashgari originally tweeted. Do you see any support in that social media community in Saudi Arabia for Mr. Kashgari, or is it such a difficult environment for anyone to even articulate any sympathy or mercy for this young man?
There is no doubt that public opinion is against Mr. Kashgari at present in Saudi Arabia. But let's not lose sight of a couple of facts.
One is that these campaigns, usually led by conservative Islamic clerics, are fairly organized. This is not necessarily an outpouring of public opinion per se, this is also an organized event.
What you're getting at is, what would it take for somebody to stand against this? And I am getting messages from a number of Saudis who are horrified and outraged. And I would like to commend Abd al-Rahman Al-Lahim, a lawyer who himself has faced jail time and a ban on travelling abroad for his human rights advocacy, he has publicly said, "I am willing to defend Mr. Kashgari, however difficult it may be, he deserves a defence."Report Typo/Error

text: My marketing research teacher has got to be the person I've ever hated the most. He's an idiot and doesn't know what he's talking about but talks out his ass like he does. He's such a jerk when we don't know the answer but at the same time he teaches us the wrong thing!! I'm not even kidding. We went reviewed today for the exam we have on Thursday. He contradicted himself multiple times and would not have corrected himself unless we called him out. I'm still not sure which side is true. He kept going against the answers on the practice exam too. He confused the shit out of everyone and we were all getting so frustrated. If we asked him a question he had to go look back in the slides when even the girl next to me and I knew the answer. Like no wonder I struggle with this class the professor doesn't even know the material. It's so unfair because no matter how hard I try I can't possibly do well if I'm being taught wrong. He literally spent 10 minutes going over a definition and when he went to the next slide it said the opposite of what he said and instead of just admitting he was wrong he said it "depends on how you interpret it." He doesn't own up to any of his mistakes and TRUST ME there's way too many. I'm in such a bad mood right now because of him and I feel so hopeless studying. He sucks and I can't wait till we rate our professors at the end of the semester, I'm gonna rip him a new one. Mwa ha haaaaa take that a hole.

On Wednesday, Aug. 20th, the Colts signed rookie tight end Tyrice Thompson to the 80-man roster and released linebacker Danny Verdun-Wheeler.
Thompson attended Arizona State and appeared in 38 games during his four years in Tempe. He was recruited as a defensive end coming out of South Mountain High School in Phoenix, but eventually settled in at wide receiver at the college level. He also saw some heavy action on special teams, blocking two punts.

At the NFL level, he projects as a tight end, since he is too slow to play wide receiver and is not polished enough at the position to take advantage of his size — 6-feet-5, 220 pounds — but he has added some weight in the offseason.
When one sees a profile like Thompson's: Recruited as a defensive end, played wide receiver and special teams, but projects as a tight end, the dreaded "A" word comes up, and he automatically gets filed away as an "athlete," quickly dismissed as a project and a player that would be lucky to make the practice squad.
He represented himself very well at ASU's Pro Day, which was particularly important, since he was not invited to the Combine. He ran both his 40 yard dashes in the high 4.6 range and registered a 38-inch vertical jump.
His athleticism, his multiple positions, and the fact that he wasn't exactly nominated for the Biletnikoff Award every year — he caught 16 total passes in four seasons as a Sun Devil, with 15 of those coming in his senior year — all added up to the athlete tag being applied to him. It also led to him going undrafted in April, but he was signed by the Buccaneers on May 2.
According to Matthew Postins of BucsBlitz.com, he barely registered a blip on the radar, which makes sense, given that he was waived on June 18. He didn't sign with another team in the interim and, although the Colts may not be his last chance for his career, they may be his last chance for this season.
The man who is most familiar with Thompson, Hod Rabino, publisher of DevilsDigest.com, had this to say: "He's obviously a very versatile and athletic guy, having played tight end, wide receiver, and defensive end here. He's tall and not very physical. He wasn't asked to block much as a tight end or receiver, but he's definitely a mismatch in the red zone and in the open field."
While it's true that Thompson's experience as a tight end is sparse at best, that also means that he didn't have the opportunity to develop any bad habits. He is light for a tight end, but not too much smaller than Jacob Tamme (240 pounds), or Dallas Clark (listed at 252, but probably closer to 245), he has the kind of speed to stretch a defense, and the experience splitting out wide in the formation that every Colts tight end needs.
Thompson is a project, to be sure, but he is also now a Colt and has an equal shot to make the roster. In addition, since he sat unemployed for over two months, it is unlikely that another team would claim him if waived, and he would be a welcome addition to the practice squad.
Gijon Robinson spent a good deal of time there and looks to have the edge on the third tight end roster spot behind Tamme and Clark, although that is slightly by default, since Tom Santi has yet to practice or appear in a game.
Bill Polian's scouting eye is not wrong often, and he must have seen something in Thompson when he was looking at film and talking to ASU coaches for second-round pick Mike Pollak and current Jet Rudy Burgess, who the Colts also expressed interest in prior to the draft, both of whom played for the Sun Devils last season. Polian has no doubt already done his homework and may already have a spot saved for Thompson on the taxi squad.

The John and Joe Show: Lieberman Campaigns for McCain, But Says He's Not Interested in No. 2 Spot
John McCain and Joe Lieberman have been keeping close company since the Connecticut senator crossed the aisle to endorse his Republican Senate colleague's presidential bid. Lieberman has been campaigning for McCain in New Hampshire, and today the bipartisan pair have a co-bylined opinion article in The Wall Street Journal arguing that the U.S. military surge in Iraq has worked and praising the leadership of General David Petraeus.
Despite some speculation about a possible McCain-Lieberman ticket, the 2000 Democratic vice-presidential nominee told Reuters he wasn't interested in being McCain's running mate. ""Oh yeah. I got that bug out of my system," he said.

the frequency is increasing. The pain is the the bottom of my breast, but I can't tell exactly where it comes from. I have hardly any breast tissue -- it's almost 100% implant. Could it possibly be after 9 years, the dead nerves that caused numbness of the skin on the lower half of my breasts are regrowing??
After 9 Years After Implants, Now my Left Breast Gets a Stabbing/pinching Pain. Frequency is Increasing?
Doctor Answers 3
Advice re pains 9 yrs after bteadt implant
Hi and thanks for your question. Hardness and discomfort related to an implant at your stage is most likely caused by capsular contracture. This is best treated by removal of implants and capsulectomy or capsulectomy with or without implant exchange. I recommend polyurethane textured implants that have the lowest capsular contracture rates of any implant, at 1-1.5% after 15ye
9 Years after Breast Implants and Pain at Bottom of Breast
9 Years after Breast Implants and Pain at Bottom of Breast may be coincidental. I would recommend a physical examination by your plastic surgeon. Kenneth Hughes, MD breast implants Los Angeles, CA
It's very hard to be exact without an exam. Do you feel a difference in hardness or breasts? It can be a few things, encapsulation or the nerves regenerating after so long. Once again it's hard to be accurate

it was cold last night.
it was cold last night.
and I didn't know,
until I took a step outside
and saw my street
blanketed in snow.
I took a walk down the street.
thin, baggy T-shirt and tough bare feet.
trembling hands and old pajama pants.
powdery snow in between my toes.
the inability to breath out of my nose.
the struggle to decide whether or not I wanted to continue to breath,
reasons for which I cannot disclose.
I liked how the wind
lashed at my bare arms
so that I didn't have to
in order to try to feel.
I had lost the ability
to feel
at all.
so all the wind did
was whip up the snow
and remind me
that I should've felt could.
I liked how the snow
falling from the sky
didn't land only on my shoulders.
if it did,
then I wouldn't even notice.
I wouldn't become more numb.
I wouldn't shake it off.
I would be passive and take it
the same way
that I take on the weight of my world
each and every day.
the weight of the world
was too much to bear.
if only others decided stick around and help and care,
so that I wouldn't go ahead and tear
out my hair,
or go out on a walk at night
in a T-shirt
in the cold winter air.
I just wanted to scream.
I looked up at the sky.
the stars seemed so serene.
I began to cry.
my tears ran down my chin,
then froze on my skin,
and I chose to decide
I didn't want to die.
why oh why should I die
when the stars in the sky,
up, up oh so high
make me begin to feel?
make me begin to cry?
the stars:
while up so high,
and so far away,
they can be seen by everyone,
from everywhere,
every which way.
so there must be others
who aren't okay,
who cannot feel anything,
just like me every single day.
so maybe I'm not the only one,
or maybe I am.
either way,
I'll never think I'm alone ever again.
it was cold last night.
I was finally able to feel it.
finally able
to feel
at all.

Don't Know What To Do?

- Are drug paraphernalia illegal?
Drug Paraphernalia
What are drug paraphernalia?The term drug paraphernalia refers to any equipment that is used to produce, conceal, and consume illicit drugs. It includes but is not limited to items such as bongs, roach clips, miniature spoons, and various types of pipes.
Under federal law the term drug paraphernalia means "any equipment, product or material of any kind which is primarily intended or designed for use in manufacturing, compounding, converting, concealing, producing, processing, preparing, injecting, ingesting, inhaling, or otherwise introducing into the human body a controlled substance."
What do drug paraphernalia look like?Identifying drug paraphernalia can be challenging because products often are marketed as though they were designed for legitimate purposes. Marijuana pipes and bongs, for example, frequently carry a misleading disclaimer indicating that they are intended to be used only with tobacco products. Recognizing drug paraphernalia often involves considering other factors such as the manner in which items are displayed for sale, descriptive materials or instructions accompanying the items, and the type of business selling the items.
The appearance of drug paraphernalia varies depending upon the manufacturer and intended purpose. Increasingly, bongs, pipes, and other paraphernalia are manufactured in bright, trendy colors and bear designs such as skulls, devils, dragons, and wizards. Manufacturers attempt to glamorize drug use and make their products attractive to teenagers and young adults.
Where are drug paraphernalia sold?Drug paraphernalia can be obtained through various means. Many large manufacturers market their products over the Internet and through mail-order businesses. In addition, drug paraphernalia frequently are sold at tobacco shops, trendy gift and novelty shops, gas stations, and convenience stores.
What are examples of drug paraphernalia?
- Pipes (metal, wooden, acrylic, glass, stone, plastic, or ceramic)
- Water pipes
- Roach clips
- Miniature spoons
- Chillums (cone-shaped marijuana/hash pipes)
- Bongs
- Cigarette papers
- Cocaine freebase kits
Are drug paraphernalia illegal?Yes, drug paraphernalia are illegal. The drug paraphernalia statute, U. S. Code Title 21 Section 863, makes it "unlawful for any person to sell or offer for sale drug paraphernalia; to use the mails or any other facility of interstate commerce to transport drug paraphernalia; or to import or export drug paraphernalia."
