ISPs and private companies are rapidly installing IEEE 802.11-based wireless point-to-multipoint networks to provide fixed wireless connectivity to businesses and homes in areas that are not served well by DSL, ISDN, or cable modems. An issue, however, is that wireless ISPs and private wireless metropolitan solutions operating in the same area often interfere with each other. This degrades throughput and causes occasional disruptions in service, which aggravates wireless ISP owners and their customers.
What's the problem?
The primary cause of RF interference between wireless MANs is that most implementations utilize 802.11 products operating in the same 2.4 GHz frequency band. Because the FCC designates the 2.4 GHz band as license-free (at least in the United States), competing users of the technology are not required to coordinate transmissions. For example, an ISP using frequency hopping spread spectrum (FHSS) can operate with any of the 802.11-defined hopping sequences, and ISPs using direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) can select any of the authorized DSSS channels. As a result, the lack of coordination among competitors leads to simultaneous use of the frequency band and damaging interference.
DSSS is the basis of the popular 802.11b standard, and most wireless ISPs install systems with 802.11b-compliant products. DSSS doesn't operate well, however, in the presence of FHSS implementations. A FHSS system transmits signals uniformly over the entire 2.4 GHz band (83.5 MHz) by rapidly hopping over different frequencies. On the other hand, DSSS continuously transmits over approximately one-third of the band (22 MHz). This means that DSSS will overlap with roughly one-third of an FHSS transmission, but FHSS overlaps with the entire DSSS signal. This causes an FHSS system to impart greater damage in terms of RF interference to one based on DSSS. If a competitor starts blasting signals from a nearby FHSS network, then a DSSS (i.e., 802.11b) system will generally fall to its knees.
How can wireless ISPs live happily together? In some areas, such as Anguilla in the West Indies, companies can obtain special licenses from local governments to have exclusive use of the 2.4 GHz band. This is rare in other areas such as the United States and Europe, however, and most wireless ISPs must be prepared to deal with possible consequences of the uncontrolled frequency space.
If you have an existing system experiencing interference, try tuning the transmitters to different hopping sequences (for FHSS) or operating channels (for DSSS). If that doesn't solve the problem, then you could try redesigning the layout of the system to avoid the source of interference. If possible, try relocating your central transmission site and repeaters to higher ground in order to improve the signal power received by your customers.
As part of planning the implementation of a wireless ISP or private wireless metropolitan network, you'd better consider the risks of interference. Is it likely that someone else will install a wireless metropolitan network within the same area? If a "yesanswer to this question is even a remote possibilitythen ensure you have enough of the optimum transmitter sites in area so that future competitors will as little impact possible.
To significantly reduce interference, you should also consider the use of the newer 5.8 GHz, 802.11a point-to-multipoint products that will become available toward the end of 2002. In addition to higher performance (54 Mbps using OFDM), 802.11a operates in the roomier 5.8 GHz band and offers the use of 12 noninterfering channels in the same area. This provides much more capacity than 802.11b implementations, which minimizes the potential for interference among wireless systems.
Stay tuned! Next time, we'll discuss ways to support higher performance requirements of densely populated end-user environments.

Oh, hey. So apparently I needed a month off from the blog. Whoops. What have you been up to??
I… watched the HGO Studio rock the Studio Showcase, flew to Chicago at the crack of dawn for a few days of Bohème rehearsals, had a mini staycation with CM in H-town, sprang forward for Daylight Savings, finished the Whole 30 with only a few alcohol-related cheats along the way, said goodbye to CM, flew to Geneva for Butterfly, tried to speak some French to the chorus, saw Rheingold, went to Paris for Easter weekend, ate every macaron and croissant in sight, saw Siegfried, sprang forward for Daylight Savings AGAIN, reactivated my Facebook account(!), trained it back to Geneva for more rehearsals, and…that pretty much brings you up to date.
I'm having a delightful time in Geneva, which is a charming, convenient city with 2 rivers, a lake, and mountains all around. So pretty. Rehearsals are going swimmingly—we hit the stage this week! You can see some rehearsal pics from the first week here. I'm loving being over here, besides missing the hell out of CM and the kitties, and my French is improving, albeit more slowly than I would like. Luckily for me, rube American that I am, everyone speaks English. I've completely abandoned the low-carb thing in favor of an all-carb thing. However, I'm walking many miles every day, so maybe it all evens out?
Back at home, CM is working on Tristan and Trovatore, hanging out with the Familie Lausmann (I'm so jealous!), and sending me adorable pictures of the cats. Case in point:
I have lots of pictures and stories to share with you. À bientôt!

BRISTOL, PA -- AMI Entertainment Network has announced the winners of its first Barnyard Throwdown competition. The tournament, which took place from June 1 to July 1, challenged contestants to excel at Tri-Towers, one of the Megatouch games available on AMI's Prize Farm skill-with-prize system.
The Tri-Towers Barnyard Throwdown, in which 13 states participated, kicked off the ongoing progressive tournament program announced by AMI when it added Prize Farm to the Megatouch line. Players wishing to compete while one of the 30-day tournaments is underway pay $1 to play the game, 25¢ of which goes into a progressive jackpot. When the tournament is done, the players with the highest scores divide that jackpot.
The leadoff event recorded more than 3,200 plays and amassed a $1,319 jackpot. Brent Campbell of Aurora, CO, won the top prize of $527.60. Eddie Rest of King George, VA, placed second with a $329.75 prize. Coming in third was Ryan Lehmann of Sheboygan, WI, who was awarded $263.80. Fourth-place honors plus a $131.90 prize went to Debbi Schaefer of Franklin, WI. Steve Lesser of Northglenn, CO, carried off the fifth-place prize of $65.95.
"We are very pleased with the results of the industry's first-ever progressive pot tournament -- as are the winners," said AMI sales representative Broderick Norkus (familiarly called "The Prize Farmer"). "We expect the popularity of Barnyard Throwdown tournaments to grow in the coming months."
The second one is in progress now; it invites contestants to demonstrate their proficiency at the Megatouch Card Bandits game. Those wishing to compete can do so at any participating location through Aug. 1.

Josh LeRibeus was a bit of a surprise pick by the Washington Redskins in the third round. At the time, I thought the best explanation was that Mike Shanahan looks for certain types of offensive linemen for his zone-blocking run game, and that consequently he may evaluate linemen differently than other teams do. We come to find out, in the wake of last weekend's rookie minicamp, that that was part of the reason and another part was that Shanahan believes LeRibeus can play center as well as guard. LeRibeus worked exclusively at center during the three-day minicamp, per Mike Jones:
The position wasn't completely foreign to LeRibeus. He had never played it in a game at SMU, but he served as backup center in practice. And to make himself more versatile, LeRibeus spent the months leading up to the draft working on his snaps.
So LeRibeus said he didn't encounter many problems at minicamp.
"Luckily I've been working on those snaps, so it wasn't any trouble," the lineman said. "The playbook's huge, but they have a way of teaching it, and coach Foerster is great and I'm picking it up fine."
Shanahan said that he didn't see any problems, either.
"He picked it up in one day like he's been doing it his whole career. But he worked on it during the season," Shanahan said. "I talked to [SMU coach] June Jones, and he said, 'Mike, if our center goes down, he's the first guy to go in.' So, when you practice it throughout your career, usually it's pretty easy."
The Redskins had a depth problem on the line last year, and the general consensus seems to be that they didn't do much to address it this offseason. They still have an issue at right tackle if Jammal Brown can't get over his hip problems. But if LeRibeus does pick up the offense quickly, they might have more options than they did last year in the interior of the line. They could play LeRibeus at center and Will Montgomery at left guard if Kory Lichtensteiger needs more time to recover from his injury. Or they could play LeRibeus at left guard if they like what they see from Montgomery at center. Or they could keep the rookie in a reserve role from which he's able to step in and play center or either guard spot if they lose a starter at one of those positions.
The Redskins apparently targeted LeRibeus because of his versatility (and because of a strong recommendation from Shanahan's buddy June Jones), and have plans for him that might venture beyond the immediately obvious.

Getting into a routine with your baby is a personal thing. You'll learn to read your baby's cues to develop a pattern of eating, sleeping, and playing that meets your little one's needs and works for your family.
That said, it can be a big help to see what other moms and dads are doing. We asked parents of 5- and 6-month-olds to share their baby's daily schedule, then picked the eight below as a helpful representation.
As you're creating a schedule for your baby, keep in mind that at 5 and 6 months most babies need:
- Up to 32 ounces of breast milk or formula in a 24-hour period. (Get specific tips on how to tell whether your baby is getting enough breast milk or formula.) Most babies start solid foods at this age, though they'll still get most of their nutrition from breast milk or formula.
- About 14 hours of sleep in a 24-hour period – this includes nighttime sleep and naps. Two naps during the day (morning and afternoon) is typical, though many babies will still take three naps. Read more about sleep needs at this age.
- Time for playing, developing important muscles, working on new skills, and interacting with you. Try reading to your little one, giving your baby a massage, or going for a stroller walk.
Schedule 1: A breastfeeding attachment-parenting mom of a 6-month-old
Editor's note: This schedule is a baby-led routine
6 to 8 a.m.: Piper (who sleeps with me) moves around without waking, and I nurse her or pat her and she continues to sleep.
8 to 9 a.m.: I kiss Piper awake and we snuggle in the bed for a few minutes. I take off her diaper and pj's and give her a T-shirt or short dress. I sign "potty" and we go to the living room so she can pee in her little potty. (We're doing infant potty training.)
9 to 10 a.m.: Piper plays on the floor wearing a cloth diaper or without a diaper (I put waterproof pads over the rug). She squeals at the cat and I show her the signs for "cat" and the things she's playing with. I've only been trying baby signing for a week.
10 a.m.: Nurse and nap. She usually sleeps about 45 minutes in her bassinet in our bedroom. I prep things for our day and maybe grab a few minutes on the computer. When Piper wakes, I dress her and put her in a disposable diaper. She gets more time on the floor with toys and books and maybe a Mister Rogers record.
11:15 a.m.: One more try on the potty, and I slide Piper into the sling, shoulder my bag, and head for the bus. Piper likes to look around as we walk, and she insists on coming out of the sling for at least part of the bus ride. She smiles at everyone and gets a lot of attention. It must take a lot of energy, because she usually wants to take another short nap toward the end of the bus ride and while we walk the four blocks from the bus to work. On the days we don't work, we hit the park or the library or run errands that we can do on foot.
Noon: Greet the teenagers I'm babysitting and offer them lunch. I give Piper a chance to use the potty. I feed the kids, we play cards or video games, and Piper "helps" or plays on the floor with the toys we keep there. Every time someone wins or makes a good play, they tell Piper about it at high volume and she laughs and kicks.
2 p.m.: Piper's laughter starts getting that hysterical edge, and we break off for nursing and a nap. She sleeps in a Moses basket in the laundry room for about 40 minutes, and then gets up for more play. We go outside to watch the turtle or the kids playing basketball. If she seems clingy, I'll carry her around in the sling so she can see everything but doesn't have to interact unless she wants to.
5 to 6 p.m.: I make dinner for the kids, depending on when their parents are coming home, and Piper and I nurse again, then head home or to a friend's house on the bus. Piper often takes a little nap while we're walking, and she doesn't always need to get out of the sling when we're on the bus going back. On the days we don't work, she naps sometime between 4 and 5 p.m.
6:30 to 7 p.m.: We get home, and I'm pretty tired. Piper gets to spend some time with Daddy or in a bouncer while I make dinner. Sometimes she's tired at 7 p.m., but I know if I put her to bed that early she won't sleep through the night. Sometimes Piper tries some mashed-up fruits or veggies, depending on what we're eating. I keep giving her tiny bites of food as long as she seems interested.
9 p.m.: Dress for bed, nurse in the papasan chair or in bed, and I place Piper asleep in the bassinet (she's really outgrowing it, but I haven't figured out the physics of getting a crib into our postage-stamp-size bedroom yet). She fusses about every 40 minutes, and I pat or nurse her back to sleep. I'm careful to get lots of help from my husband at night or to go to bed early because I'm not my best self when I'm overtired. After I put Piper to bed is when I'm most likely to feel overwhelmed by household responsibilities, but in the morning they're easily managed.
9:30 to 11 p.m.: I take Piper into bed with me when I go to bed. She nurses again and then usually sleeps soundly until 6 a.m. But sometimes she's fitful and needs comfort every hour. There really isn't an in-between.

Stage I – Post-Op and the Hospital Diet
At this time, Dr. Belsley and your team will be monitoring your progress by seeing how well you tolerate low-sugar, non-carbonated liquids such as water, tea, and broth. Sugar-free gelatin is another option. Use a cup to drink and avoid sipping from a bottle or straw.
Only clear liquids are allowed initially. Avoid sweetened beverages unless sweetened with a sugar substitute.
The 4 x 4 Rule
Please follow the 4 x 4 rule after your surgery. Start off with 1 ounce of liquid sipped slowly over 1 hour. This means that you should sip the fluid throughout the entire hour. This does not mean that you should gulp the entire one ounce and then wait another hour to try again. As tolerated, fluids will be increased in 1 ounce increments every 4 hours to a goal rate of 4 ounces per hour while awake.
The hospital will send normal sized portions of liquids. It will be up to you to regulate how much you consume.
4 x 4 diet progression
Once you are able to tolerate 4 oz every 4 hours for a total of 4 hours, then you will be ready for discharge. A minimum of 48-64 oz. (6-8 cups) of liquids should be consumed daily to replace fluid losses and prevent dehydration. It should take you 12-16 hours to drink 48-64 oz. of liquid. Please remember not to drink more than 4 ounces over a 1 hour period at first. As long as you have no nausea or vomiting, over the course of a few days, while at home you can slowly increase the amount you drink depending on your thirst.
Occasional vomiting sometimes occurs as food intolerances vary on an individual basis.
Liquids should be sipped very slowly to avoid stretching your pouch. Do not use a straw. Drinking through a straw can overfill your pouch with liquid and air. If the pouch gets full very quickly, you may experience nausea, vomiting and pain.
A swallow study may be performed in the hospital
The shape of your stomach pouch and your connections might be studied while you are in the hospital with a swallow study. This evaluation gives a road map to your new stomach pouch and intestines. This study is usually performed the first hospital day after a gastric sleeve but may also be performed after a gastric bypass.
Unexpected Changes in Taste
You may experience changes in taste and appetite as well as sensitivities to certain smells. An example of a change of taste that occurs and that is not well understood by doctors is intolerance to particular flavors of toothpaste. Some patients who used to love coffee before the laparoscopic gastric bypass find that the smell of coffee makes them nauseous after the operation. These changes although common, do not have an obvious medical explanation.
You may not feel hungry or want to eat, but it is important to consume some liquids or protein supplements at intervals in order to recover from surgery and stay healthy.
During the first week after your operation, the most important diet advice is that you keep yourself hydrated. Do not be frustrated if you are not able to tolerate protein-shakes. If you are able to tolerate the appropriate amount of water and keep yourself hydrated then you are most likely doing fine. Please feel free to call the office with questions at any point during your postoperative care.
Remember your commitment to a healthy lifestyle
The surgical procedure is only one part of your journey. Bariatric surgery can help normalize feelings of satiety and food cravings. Although the operations change the way in which your body processes food, some of these changes are only temporary. It is important that you start life-affirming habits that will help you succeed. Healthy habits don't just happen. Do not rely on your operation to force you into healthy habits. These life-style changes take know-how, time, and commitment and support from family and friends. If you're ready to commit, you need to both research and practice the knowledge and tools to maintain healthy habits.

Editor's Note: Soccer America begins its countdown to the MLS season with previews of each of the 19
By Ridge Mahoney
The much-awaited exodus under new head coach Jose Luis Sanchez Sola is underway; as of Monday, a dozen players under contract at the end of the 2012 season had been jettisoned, and another – midfielder Shalrie Joseph – has been told he won't be needed.
"El Chelis," as Sanchez is known, may be an MLS neophyte, but he's already stocked up on that valuable asset unique to MLS -- allocation money -- by trading away the likes of Nick LaBrocca, Ben Zemanski and last year's No 5 overall SuperDraft pick, Casey Townsend. Chivas USA also received a chunk of allocation money for missing the playoffs, and dumped a lot of salary with the likes of Juan Pablo Angel, Alejandro Moreno and Danny Califf off the books.
Still, "El Chelis" may need every dollar of that allocation stash, as Joseph's guaranteed DP salary will cost Chivas USA $335,000 against the $2.95 million per-team salary cap if it can't unload him. How he negotiates the byzantine ways of MLS after coaching in Mexico will determine how well he revamps a team that does have some valuable pieces in place, whether or not he chooses to retain them: goalkeeper Dan Kennedy, striker Juan Agudelo, defender Bobby Burling and midfielder Miller Bolanos.
Operator-investor Jorge Vergara vowed to strengthen the team's identity when he bought out former partner Antonio Cue during the 2012 season. "El Chelis" says his job is to change the team's culture, and sporting director Dennis Te Kloese – who formerly worked with the club's player development programs – will be jetting back and forth between Southern California and Guadalajara to monitor both operations.
Mario de Luna, Joaquin Velasquez, Jose Manuel Rivera, Walter Vilchez, Edgar Mejia, Giovani Casillas, Daniel Antunez, Josue Soto and Julio Morales -- many on the Chivas de Guadalajara payroll -- all played in a 3-0 defeat of Colorado in Las Vegas Sunday. None is currently on the MLS club's roster, though.
KEY PLAYER MOVES. A trade from Colorado, which in turn had claimed him in Stage 2 of the Re-Entry Draft, has seemed to energize not only Eric Avila. The trade of Zemanski to Portland netted the MLS rights to former Chivas USA defender Jonathan Bornstein along with the allocation money. The only other signings to date are veteran defenders Steve Purdy and Carlos Borja. Carlos Alvarez, the No. 2 overall SuperDraft pick, grew up in Los Angeles idolizing former Chivas USA players Claudio Suarez, Francisco Mendoza and Francisco Palencia.
WHY BE OPTIMISTIC? "El Chelis" talks of stylish play as a means to success, and though preseason games can't necessarily be determinant of anything, Chivas USA posted a six-match unbeaten streak. Just seven wins and 24 goals scored last year leaves vast room for improvement, and if some new players can be melded with young talents like Agudelo, the team can be competitive.
WHY BE PESSIMISTIC? Sanchez led Mexican club Puebla to promotion and to the league semifinals one season, but MLS is a whole different ballgame. The team has seldom stirred the Southern California fans of parent club Guadalajara -- or those in other MLS cities -- and they will take extreme convincing that this makeover is the solution. With its lease at Home Depot Center set to expire next year, rumors of a pending move are rampant.
WHY WATCH THIS TEAM? Avila, Agudelo and Bolanos are young, exciting, dynamic players, and the promises of a changed identity and new culture will be intriguing to evaluate as they play out on the field. As he did when he brought the team into MLS eight years ago, Vergara has set out to show the gringos how the game should be done.

Depends on the powder. For slower burning you will want the hotter primer. For Unique and others like it such as Universal Clays or Bullseye, the regular primers work fine.

" Blessed is that man, who when facing death, thinks only of his front sight"
-Jeff Cooper
lee worked up those loads using regular primers. Using mag primers could increase pressures to dangerous levels depending on powder and how how much is being used. Stay with the recommended loads they have tested and you will be safe. I load for 357 and 38 special and have never used mag primers. Although for hunting loads for 44 mag, my manual does call for mag primers for the load I use. Take, keep safe and have fun.
Older manuals usually recommended mag primers when using slower burning 296 and 2400. You certainly can get by just using SPP for any 357 load.
Chose a weapon that goes bang EVERY time!
i use unique and regular small pistol primes with no problems here
Use what they specify in the book. I have the Speer #13 and the recipe they use for 125 grain with 2400 powder specifies a non magnum primer. On the same table they have four loads that specify a magnum primer. Mixing and matching can get expensive and painful.
Infowars- Proving David Hannum right on a daily basis
I was thinking that all the slower burning powders appropriate for .357 Magnum called for magnum powders, the exception being 2400 which can get by with standard primers. H110, W296, AL8, IMR 4227 all do well with magnum primers.
I love H110 but it's hard to beat 2400 for the very topmost velocities within sane pressures in .357 Magnum. This would be using 158 grain bullets.
I never load the .357 Magnum with lighter weight bullets.

No possible rapidity of fire can atone for habitual carelessness of aim with the first shot.

Use the same type primers that the load calls for in the manual. The charges listed in the manual were worked up carefully using particular components. Changing any one of those items makes the pressures shown in the manual meaningless.
I use Federal standard small RIFLE primers in my mag loads such as heavy charges of Blue Dot and the like with standard small pistol for target loads.

I didn't talk about: Information storage, i.e.: the way your issues and report is going to be stored. And that's in my opinion one of the most important point.
When you're a pentester, you're working:
- off site in the office
- on site for a week at a client's office,
- then you do a wireless test and spend a day without being connected to the network
- then you setup a crazy network to MITM an iphone application and don't really want to break it
When you're a pentester, your report:
- need to be reviewed by a tech person
- need to be reviewed by a business person
- and mostly you want your co-worker to write a good part of it ;)
I often see people get a tech review of their issues write-up while they write the exec summary, then they copy/paste the changes from the review.
If your reporting solution is based on a single Word document or a centralised database... You just lost the productivity game...
Dradis solves this problem by allowing you to import sqlite databases to your current project... That's a good way to do it but there is so many things that can go wrong... Databases are not meant to be used for this kind of problems.
But you know who had the same problem for ages... developers and they came out with great tools like cvs, svn,... and git.
I picked git because it has off-line commits which allow you to work in any situation and that's really important in my opinion, you don't want to connect back to your network just to commit an issue.
So now, the problem of versioning is solved since git is meant to do that and to perform easy merge (or at least tell you when a merge doesn't work properly).
Now, some other advantages of git (shared with some other versioning tools):
- more than one master repositories... you can have one for storage, one for backup, one for reporting and one for review for example. You can then push your changes to the storage's one and you can push some changes you want to be reviewed to the review's one. Same for the reporting.
- you can have hooks. Basically you can be notified when something happens on your repository... so for example, you can have notifications on your review repositories that send an IRC message for the tech review and a jabber message for the business review
- you can have hooks (again.), imagine you have a tool that built the report from your issues, you can get this report built every time you push to the reporting repositories.
- you can have hooks (again..), you can run `aspell` on every issue when they are committed
- you can have hooks (again...), imagine you create in your commit a file named 2crack and push it to a specific repository... a hook takes the file, (create a branch), and run your password cracking tools on it
- you can have branches, you can create automatic script that will put their results in a git branch so you can review them and merge them if needed in your working repository. For example, you can run skipfish (with a 2skipfish file for example) through a hook and get its result in a skipfish branches then merge it back.
However, this method needs a way to store all information as text, hopefully languages like Mardown can be used they're simple and easy (compare to Latex)...
I hope these details give you a better understanding on why I'm so unhappy to use Word to write Security reports.
Report should be seen as a process not just a result... ;)

NEW YORK — Walmart took the next step in its goal to help build women's economic empowerment by announcing the launch of a dedicated page on Walmart.com that will feature an assortment of products created by women in nearly two dozen countries, including women who work in cooperatives and own small businesses. The site, which the company expects to be available in spring 2012, will feature such products as jewelry from Guatemala, Thailand and Ethiopia; coffee from Central and South America; and dresses from Kenya. By 2016, Walmart said it expects the site to feature approximately 500 items — from apparel and jewelry, to stationery and accessories – by more than 20,000 women in nearly two dozen countries.
"The challenge for small women-owned businesses – and particularly women artisans – is that they have a fantastic product, but they may not have the size or scale to sell in our brick-and-mortar stores," Leslie Dach, Walmart's EVP corporate affairs, said at the Clinton Global Initiative Annual Meeting. "This commitment today gives these women access to an established set of customers on Walmart.com, as well as the benefit of the company's knowledge about customers, packaging and promotions."
Initial partners for the site will include Full Circle Exchange and Ethical Fashion Africa, a program within the International Trade Centre.
Walmart's dedicated e-commerce page is part of the company's global effort to empower women. The five-year plan — developed with help from both governmental and non-governmental organizations and philanthropic groups — will direct $20 billion on goods and services from U.S. businesses owned by women, as well as double the amount to women-run suppliers overseas.
Human resources issues and training for women will receive Walmart's attention, as it will offer skill-set training for 60,000 female factory workers employed by Wal-Mart suppliers and other merchants. Life skills such as punctuality and financial literacy will be taught as well.

A 26-year-old woman died after she was stabbed at a Melbourne house today.
The woman and another woman, aged in her 40s were stabbed after an argument between family members shortly before 11am (AEDT) at a house in Braybrook, police said.
"The two women were rushed to hospital in a serious condition. The 26-year-old woman died shortly after arrival at hospital," the police spokeswoman said.
A man was treated at the scene for cuts to the hand.
Detectives are speaking to a 49-year-old Braybrook man who walked into the Sunshine police station this afternoon.
The homicide squad wants to hear from a man who picked up the 49-year-old man and drove him to the police station.

Congratulations, you have just secured your first, second or 100th real estate listing. You had some strong competition from other local agents but you came through and won the trust of your new seller……High Five! You deserve it.
Back to the office, process the listing, arrange photo shoot, property video, write your copy and eventually, load it up to all the websites and wait for the buyers to come flocking through the door at next weekends inspection.
Fast forward 2 weeks, you've have a few emails that didn't eventuate into anything and you had a few groups through the home on Saturday and Sunday, 1 of which was the neighbour from across the road.
How can you get more people contacting you and coming through the inspection? Rewind to the moment you clicked "submit" and uploaded your listing to the web.
Attrition plays a massive role in online advertising, your audience is time poor and at many stages while they browse new listings they will become distracted and move on to the next listing. I write more about attrition through online real estate listings in a previous article but today, I would like you to consider leaving an "Information Gap"
You've lured potential buyers to your listing with some great photography, your listing title is unique and descriptive and you have been very detailed in sharing ALL the features of the home. Actually, what you have done is answered every possible question your potential buyer may have and because the answers you provided are your opinion and those of the seller, your buyers may not share that opinion and can be very quick to lose interest and move on.
An information gap is where you make reference to a possible feature but don't give away all the answers, leaving the buyers mind open and possibly wanting to find out more.
For example, the en-suite bathroom includes a luxurious spa bath. An information gap could be an image of a closed bathroom door with some text suggesting there is something magnificent behind the door and if the buyer wants to know what it is, they should contact you either by telephone call or an email. I'm not suggesting you use images of closed doors in your marketing but I think you understand the point I make about an information gap.
Try not to give away all the details about the property you are selling, leave the buyer open to consider that there is something unique and they will need to contact you to find out more.

Phillies 6, Braves 2: Ryan Howard homered for the third straight game and Kyle Kendrick tossed 6 2/3 solid innings as host Philadelphia continued its late surge toward a postseason berth.
Carlos Ruiz followed Howard's fourth-inning blast with one of his own and Kevin Frandsen and Chase Utley also went deep for the Phillies, who won their fourth straight and 12th in 15 outings to move within three games of St. Louis in the race for the National League's second wild card. The Cardinals dropped a 5-4 decision in 11 innings to the Chicago Cubs earlier on Friday.
Jose Constanza had an RBI single and Martin Prado and Dan Uggla collected two hits apiece for the Braves, who fell for just the second time in seven outings but remained 5 1/2 games behind National League East-leading Washington. The Nationals suffered a 4-2 setback to Milwaukee on Friday.
After belting three homers in his previous 33 games, Howard went deep for the third straight contest after depositing a curveball from Tommy Hanson (12-9) into the Phillies' bullpen past the wall in right-center field. The slugger's 13th homer this season was the 299th of his career.
Kendrick (10-11) improved to 7-1 in his career against the Braves after allowing two runs on five hits and striking out six. Two relievers bridged the gap to Jonathan Papelbon, who retired the side in the ninth inning in a non-save situation.
GAME NOTEBOOK: Howard has belted 150 of his 299 career homers in Philadelphia. ... Hanson, who hasn't registered a win since July 30, yielded five runs on four hits in 5 1/3 innings to take the loss. ... The Braves have won 10 of the 16 meetings between the NL East rivals.

In the run up to the 1979 election, Labour were obsessed with the Tories planning to double VAT. Howe and Thatcher dismissed it as a smear. Howe was pretty explicit: "We have absolutely no intention of doubling VAT." The Daily Mail was so convinced, it included the "double VAT" charge in a splash on "Labour's dirty dozen lies", just days before the campaign concluded.
The trouble was that the Tories had already agreed a "massive" hike in VAT a good year before winning the election. Sure, they didn't want to double the rate. The secret plan, hatched at Howe's house on the Fentiman Road, was completely different: to raise VAT from 8 to 15 per cent. Howe announced it in his first Budget. This story by my colleague Nick Timmins (written when he was at the Independent) runs through the whole saga. Read more

I noticed that most of the weekly featured files have very poor sales – and those who do well did so even before they got featured. makes me think about the importance of the box on the frontpage… couldn't we change it so it shows old files instead? (to give them a bit more exposure)
what are your thought?...
Agree. It would nice if the items scrolls automatically.
I agree with both of you. Older files – yes. Auto scroll – yes. And how about updating it weekly?
There are a few threads about the weekly features now. It does seem to be a bit misused.
Showcasing older files is a good idea, but showcasing newer items leaves the frontpage constantly revamped; and even for passive viewers, they can just glance at the new items, then move on.
Although i can see what you mean, just randomly display the older items so they get as much exposure as the new items…. hmmm could be something to consider i suppose.

Jackson Heights, where the land was somewhat higher than in the surrounding towns, was named after the Jackson family, a prominent family who lived in the area of Northern Boulevard. When the Queensborough Bridge opened in 1908, connecting Manhattan to Queens, Edward MacDougall's Queensborough Corporation began purchasing local farms. In 1909 it purchased a 325-acre parcel of land and continued purchasing land through 1918 with the vision of creating a viable commuter suburb. In 1915 Interborough Rapid Transit (the IRT) built a subway line connecting Queens to Manhattan, and many apartment buildings were built in Jackson Heights. These garden style apartments were designed after garden apartments that were popular in London at the time. Rustic-looking houses were built around spacious courtyards, and these buildings remain some of the most beautiful housing in the city. The City Landmark Preservation Commission designated Jackson Heights a historic district in 1994.
In the 1965 the Hart-Celler Act increased immigration and waves of Asians and Latin Americans entered the United States via New York City. Many of these new Americans settled in Jackson Heights and built communities here. Jackson Heights is now one of the most diverse neighborhoods in the New York City.
A traveling station library opened on April 17, 1917 to serve what had been mostly farmland, but was becoming more urbanized. During the 1920s and 1930s temporary branches were established in a number of storefronts along 37th avenue. The Jackson Heights Community Federation led an effort to have a library built after World War II, but building restrictions and a lack of funds hindered these efforts, and the Jackson Heights branch would not be finished until 1954. The Jackson Heights Branch of the Queens Borough Public Library opened at its present location on October 26, 1954. Extensive renovations occurred in 1970 and again in 1985. An elevator was built and the adult bathrooms were made handicapped accessible in 1999. The branch is now 17,100 square feet in area.
A multi-year initiative has been launched for the design and construction of a 50,000 square foot new library facility on the current site. This will eventually allow the Jackson Heights Library to greatly expand and enhance the services it provides to its diverse and vibrant community.
The Jackson Heights northern border is the Grand Central Parkway, and the western border of the neighborhood is the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway. Roosevelt Avenue is along the southern edge of Jackson Heights and the eastern border is Junction Boulevard.

George Michael tonight performed for the first time since his life-threatening battle with pneumonia.
Michael, whose life was in the balance after he became ill late last year, could not contain his excitement and failed to keep his role a secret.
Five days ago he revealed he was taking part in proceedings after he tweeted to his half a million followers: "Spending most of next week rehearsing like crazy for the Olympic closing ceremony."
The 48-year-old later admitted that he was "a bit nervous" about the performance, having not appeared in front of a crowd for more than a year.
But tonight the former Wham! singer overcame his fears and performed pop hit Freedom 90 to the packed 80,000-capacity Olympic Stadium.
He sung to the excited athletes as the word "Freedom" was displayed across the stadium.
Clad in black leather, Michael also sung his latest upbeat song White Light.
Michael had to axe a number of shows as medics brought him back from the brink.

Shares in Moss Bros soared 20% today, pushing them to an eight year high after the suit hire and retailer unexpectedly said it will boost its dividend payout massively.
Chief executive Brian Brick, who joined what was then a troubled business at the end of 2008, said: "We are encouraged by trading over the key Christmas trading period. The improved sales performance and continued strong cost management and rigorous clearance of stock, means that we will finish 2013/14 ahead of market expectations."
He said that like-for-like sales in the five weeks to last Saturday had grown by 12.9% which is well ahead of the 5.3% growth seen in the preceding 19 weeks.
Perhaps even more importantly, the group ended the key sales period with much lower stocks to go into its sales. Analysts said this was in large measure due to the improved Moss Bros website, which allowed it to clear stock quickly online rather than through its stores.
The group now expects to have cash of £28 million at the year-end this month. It reckons it only needs £15 million of this to run the business, so will push the full year dividend up from 0.9p to 5p a share.
That means Brick, who was paid a relatively modest £652,000 last year, will pick up a dividend cheque for £110,000.
The shares jumped 15.75p to 90p — a level not seen since September 2005. House broker Peel Hunt raised its forecast for this year's profits by 24% to £3.9 million and for next year's by 10% to £4.4 million.

I am well aware love can be blind, Goldencurly. The guy I am speaking of is a pompous a** by nature. Sincerely, that is who he is. You take it or leave it, and will be the first person to tell you that. He is completely open and honest about his a**holeishness, which is the only reason why I said that. I am know that many men change. I have been in relationships like that. This is one that never has, and never will.As to the bolded part = NOOOOOOOO! Ahem, I married a nice, sweet, passionate man who loved and respected me. Years later, he was none of those things. He actually put his fist through a wall when we had an arguement about sex. WTF??? So please understand that love is blind and people can hide their worst sides. The combination can be deadly. Do not assume she's dumb. Please.I kept thinking... His poor wife. He was being rather explicit about their relationship and an argument they were having over it. I would kill him. BUT I had to stop and think... She was dumb enough to marry him. I am not trying to be cruel. If you knew him, you would understand. I still wanted to say something, but he had no idea what planet he was on.^^^ jerk.
So I casually mocked him instead. Lol. I've been butting heads with him and sometimes mocking him since kindergarten, and he still has no idea.
I am evil of late (but with reason).
Edited because cyberspace is eating my words.
That's why I said I did not mean to be cruel, but you would have to know him to understand.

When I hear terms like "hipster" I think, who told cliques they could leave high school??

Eminem Thanks Fans for Helping Him Get Through Bad Times
Eminem has been through plenty of ups and downs in his career and most of it was well-documented in the media. From his bitter divorce with his ex-wife, Kimberly Scott, to his bout with drug addiction, his life was an open book. During his surprise set at the G-Shock 30th Anniversary event in New York, Em thanked his fans for their support.

Last May, actor and rhythm and blues singer Tyrese Gibson posted a somewhat bizarre video onto his Facebook (NASDAQ:FB) page. The lede into the video simply stated "Apple = Beats $3.2 billion." From there, the action cut away to Tyrese dancing and yukking it up, while rapper Andre Young, aka Dr. Dre, boisterously pointed at the camera. The video unwittingly announced that Apple was set to acquire Beats By Dre. Various copies of the clip were to appear on YouTube, after Tyrese removed the post from his Facebook page. The Facebook post may have been in violation of SEC Regulation Fair Disclosure. SEC Regulation FD stipulates that all pertinent information must be disclosed to all shareholders simultaneously.
On May 28, 2014, Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) did issue a press release that confirmed it was set to acquire Beats Music and Beats Electronics for $3 billion. The $3 billion Beats deal actually broke down further into $2.6 billion in up-front cash and $400 million in stock options, which will vest over the next four years. Beats co-founders Dr. Dre and Jimmy Iovine both agreed to stay on at Apple, as part of the arrangement. Iovine, of course, is also the chairman of Interscope Geffen A&M and a celebrated music industry insider. Going forward, Apple's increasingly aggressive forays into digital music now threaten to undermine the Pandora (NYSE:P) business model. Pandora may be an example of a Web 2.0 bubble stock.
Today, Apple may be most notable for its dominance above mobile. Successive reports out of both comScore and International Data Corporation have identified Apple and Samsung as leading handset and tablet manufacturers, according to market share and units sold. Apple closed out its latest 2013 fiscal year having generated $170.9 billion in revenue. Of this amount, the iPhone and iPad accounted for a respective $91.3 billion and $32 billion in 2013 total net sales. For the sake of comparison, the iPod tallied a mere $4.4 billion in 2013 operating segment revenue, which was a 21 percent decline off the prior year. For 2005, the iPod platform generated $4.5 billion, or 32.3 percent, of $13.9 billion in Apple total net sales. In effect, Steve Jobs leveraged his love of music to launch the remarkable turnaround of Apple.

/// Thursday Night Is a Game-Changer for NFL Network
Adding five Thursday Night Football games to its lineup has paid handsome dividends for NFL Network, enabling the league's in-house TV outlet to boost its carriage fees by as much as 41 percent. According to SNL Kagan estimates, NFL Network in 2013 charges operators an average affiliate fee of $1.34 per subscriber per month, a sharp increase from the $0.95 a pop the channel commanded a year ago. The new pricing scheme now places NFL Net second among all cable properties, surpassing TNT ($1.29) and the non-ad supported Disney Channel ($0.99). At the top of the carriage fee food chain is ESPN, which rakes in a princely fee of $5.45 per sub per month, up from $5.01 in 2012. Given NFL Network's recent subscriber gains (the channel now reaches 69.7 million homes, up 10 percent from the year-ago 63.2 million), overall affiliate revenue is expected to increase 56 percent to $1.12 billion. The 2012 campaign marked the first in which NFL Net carried nearly a full season's worth of live games. Over the course of 13 telecasts, the network averaged 6.35 million viewers and a 2.6 rating in the adults 18-49 demo. While NFL Network seems to get fed the league's table scraps (last year's games included a lopsided 31-13 scrum between the 1-7 Kansas City Chiefs and the 4-4 San Diego Chargers), a handful of early games scared up big numbers. The first TNF game of 2012, an NFC North grudge match between the Chicago Bears and Green Bay Packers, delivered 8.56 million viewers and a 3.8 in the dollar demo, while the Browns and Ravens battled on Sept. 27 in front of a national TV audience of 8.05 million viewers. A late defensive stand by Baltimore secured a win over division rival Cleveland; per Nielsen, the game averaged a 3.3 among the 18-49 set. The live-plus-same-day ratings do not take into account local deliveries in each team's home market. Naturally, the beefed up NFL slate helped boost the network's fourth-quarter ratings. NFL Net averaged 751,000 total viewers in Q4 prime, up 12 percent versus the prior-year 668,000. The dollar demo was up 13 percent to 378,000 adults 18-49.

SHERIDAN, Calif. -- A woman was stabbed and later died Wednesday afternoon and her daughter has been arrested in connection with the incident, authorities said.

Once on scene, they found Maria Bejenariu, 61, who had been stabbed. She was transported to Sutter Roseville Medical Center, where she later died.
At the home on Andressen Road, detectives arrested the victim's daughter, Ana Maria Bejenariu, 32. She was transported to the Placer County Jail in Auburn where she's being booked on a murder charge.

The Lions are 8-1 in Northwest Oregon Conference play, and have given up just six runs since the beginning of April
When I wrote back in March that we should keep our fingers crossed regarding the St. Helens softball program, I couldn't begin to imagine what has happened in the last month.
They lost only one more of their preseason games over the next week, but finished off the non-league schedule with a bang: a brand new coach at the helm.
And it's a bit of a euphemism to say the transition from Jeff Edwards to Miranda Little has been smooth. It's been downright impressive.
Since the switch, which put the four-year assistant in charge of the program on an interim basis, the Lions have won their last six games, including eight of nine league contests.
The one loss, a 2-1 stinger to Sandy, wasn't even a reason for concern, according to Little. It was a tight game, and one got the feeling the result could have gone either direction. An inch difference here or there could have left St. Helens with a win in extra innings, and it seems clear the entire team understood they didn't need to change much.
We played great, said Little. We just came out on the bottom end.
Yep, they beat us. But if we keep doing what we're good at, we have a solid chance to beat em next time.
It's a big statement, but I think it works.
Sandy, with their No. 1 ranking and 16-5 record, is exactly who they were expected to be this season. Their 52 runs make for the second-best offense in Class 5A and the best in the Northwest Oregon Conference, but there's a caveat: since the beginning of April, they've given up 36 runs in 15 games.
St. Helens has given up six.
That's the difference junior Mariah Mulcahy has made on the mound, and while you can place a good heap of the credit for the team's turnaround in the last month and a half on her shoulders, it speaks greatly to the mental toughness this group has.
Mulcahy doesn't run from pressure. She embraces it. She thrives on it.
And what's more, the rest of the team feeds off that mindset. They haven't fallen asleep often, bolstered by the five one-hitters from Mulcahy and the growing number of homers produced by the four and five spots in the Lions' batting order.
With sophomore Taylor Leal batting cleanup and Mulcahy's bat ringing in at fifth, they have a solid chance of scoring when the pair bat in the same inning.
Taking the 7-0 win over Sherwood on May 2 for example, the Bowmen only got one strike out of Mulcahy and Leal combined in eight at-bats. They picked up three hits in that time, but made contact on every single attempt.
That's a scary combination for opposing pitchers, especially because Stevie Strawn and sophomore Ashley Geisbers are lightning quick, and usually bunt looking simply to get on base.
I won't say the offensive issues – of which Edwards expressed concern before the season began – are gone, but the Lions have definitely taken a step forward. And because St. Helens is graced with a leader like Mulcahy in the pitchers' circle, they don't need the offensive production.
All they need is one.

First Order Extensions of Classical Systems of Modal Logic; The role of the Barcan schemas

The paper studies first order extensions of classical systems of modal logic (see (Chellas, 1980, part III)). We focus on the role of the Barcan formulas. It is shown that these formulas correspond to fundamental properties of neighborhood frames. The results have interesting applications in epistemic logic. In particular we suggest that the proposed models can be used in order to study monadic operators of probability (Kyburg, 1990) and likelihood (Halpern-Rabin, 1987).

Patti LaBelle Can't Stand 'Little Heifers Who Can't Sing'
Pattie LaBelle doesn't want anyone to refer to her as a "diva" because it's not a special word anymore. She explains her theory in an interview with PrideSource.
Here's the quote:
"That word is used so loosely that I don't even consider myself a diva. I always considered myself a woman who sings her heart out and who gives 120 percent. "Diva" is a word that I wouldn't wanna call myself because it's so loosely used. It's not cute anymore.
Yeah, because all these little heifers who can't sing are called divas! It doesn't mean anything to me and probably to some of the other ladies who have been doing it for as long as I have: Gladys Knight, Aretha Franklin, Dionne Warwick. You know, I'm speaking for me – I don't know if they like to be called divas – but I know I wouldn't call them divas, because it's not in good company."

Great Work on my Eyes & Waddle : ) - New York, NY
Incredible surgeon. An artist. Did my upper eyelids. They are more than perfect. They had started to 'fall' onto my eyelashes. They now look so fresh. You can't tell even right close up because it was so meticulously sewn. Not that weird startled look some people get. He also sucked up the little 'waddle' under my chin and gave me a jawline again.

Meet our dog, Frosty. We rescued her from the animal shelter on her last day. She had a rough start in this world. A fearful, quaking mess, she was plastered against the cold cement floor, trying to make herself invisible. It was working, everyone walked right past her.
It's unclear how we ended up at the shelter that day. I think it was a drive-by, 'hey, let's drop in' type deal. Anyway, something made us go there. Among the throngs of homeless animals, this pitiful trembling pup caught my attention.
We asked to visit with her in a 'get acquainted' room and the shelter staff member placed her in the center of the room. She just hovered there, paralyzed with fear. I began to speak softly to this sweet bundle of nerves but she couldn't move. After what seemed like a long time, she shyly glanced in my direction. I continued my coaxing murmurs. She slowly crawled on her belly towards me. When she got in range, she took a quick lick of my ankle. My husband took one look at me and said, I guess she's coming home with us. Indeed.
She is our heart in a fur coat.

Northcliffe is becoming impossible and I must find another paper.
It was Lloyd George, aided by Northcliffe, who led the fight for it.
She used to be the housekeeper at Northcliffe Manor, you remember.
No, it has nothing to do with Mr. Asquith's triumphal procession and still less with the Northcliffe Press.
"Northcliffe seems to me to have a case," said Mr. Britling.
It is, of course, well known that the Northcliffe Press refuses to print experiences of this kind.
Sent for Northcliffe and told him that unless my articles are treated with more respect I cannot go on and the War will be lost.
Popular feeling at this moment (or rather the type of feeling envisaged by the Northcliffe Press) wont do either.
Mr. Dillon seemed to desire the appointment of a "Northcliffe Controller," but that is impracticable.
A note is now sometimes heard here in undertone (Northcliffe strikes it)—that they don't want the Americans in the war.

Defensive Carry Brothers and Sister,
I just posted a story you all might enjoy.
Unfortunately, the law here in Georgia states that Georgia Firearms License holders are NOT allowed to carry their concealed weapons into any restaurant that serves alcohol on the premise. Luckily, one patron at a local place in Norcross chose to disobey that provision and carry his weapon with him while out on the town with friends this past week, and stopped a possible mass shooting from occurring.
Please help me spread the word about this story so we can try to generate some pressure on the Georgia General Assembly to get them to change this stupid restriction on concealed carry holders in Georgia.

GCO is ready to tackle the public gathering nonsense in the legislature next session!
If you haven't joined yet, please do.
I don't agree with the law either. It needs to be changed to a "no carry under the influence" law. If someone wants to be a designated driver and not drink that individual shuld be allowed to carry. I think everyone knows that alcohol and guns, like alcohol and driving, don't always mix well. I'm already a member of GCO and intend to remain so. They're doing an outstanding grassroots job and deserve support.
Ohio has the same ridiculous restriction , and many others such as:
no carry in Public Buildings. This includes highway rest stop and State Park facilities. But no specific restriction on carry on state land. Just the buildings.
GCO sounds like a counterpart to OFCC

Somebody from Tennessee needs to forward this to the appropriate authority in their state.. I'm wondering if these strict laws are because of Atlanta, like Chicago is to Illinois.
I thought our new laws in Kansas were strict but after reading a bit I don't think we have it all that bad.

TN's law is written with a "Safe Harbor" clause. If you carry where you should not, and you have to use your weapon, they will not go back and charge you with illegale carry.

Florida has a law regarding bars, but has nothing against restaurants that serve adult beverages. I for one will go for an all day motorcycle ride with my buddys and have a couple beers along the way, and can see no reason, why I should leave my sidearm at home.
Back in another lifetime, I use to be an auxiliary deputy sheriff. I remember asking the sheriff what to do when I went to New Orleans for the weekend about legally carrying my combat commander 45. The sheriff said, Son if you pull your sidearm and shoot someone the last question, the investigator is going to ask ya is where you got the 45. And he added that when he visits other states he never disarmed.
Same holds true today, when I travel, I always carry a sidearm, and figure if something should happen and I forced to use my sidearm, Ill worry about that states particular conceal carry laws later.
VA law says that you can carry openly in a restaurant or bar that serves alcohol, but you can't carry concealed.

I sympathize, but be careful!
A man fires a rifle for many years, and he goes to war. And afterward he turns the rifle in at the armory, and he believes he's finished with the rifle. But no matter what else he might do with his hands - love a woman, build a house, change his son's diaper - his hands remember the rifle.

The 69 Eyes Frontman Jyrki Shares His Top Five Ways to Pass the Summer as a Goth
Helsinki, Finland's finest goth-rock band the 69 Eyes will be heading into the studio later this year to work on the follow-up to 2009's Back in Blood (The End). In anticipation of the band's latest platter, and considering that tomorrow is the first official day of summer, we asked frontman Jyrki to tell us how he suggests that his pale, black-clad brethren make it through that hottest and sunniest of seasons.
"Get yourself a new pair for every imaginable situation to keep you not only cool but goth to the bone. Ray-Ban Wayfarers are the original cool, but pilot mirror shades will do as well, as long as they're just Ray-Bans."
"Stock up on the latest horror/erotic vampire fiction and stay out of the sun, reading. Search Amazon.com for anything with the keyword 'vampire.'"
Twilight DVDs
"Have you really already seen all the DVD extras? And for a summer holiday, travel to Forks, Washington, of course! Don't forget your umbrella, Bella!"
Become a SoCal Goth
"Good news: tanning allowed! Listen to your AFI boldly on the beach or by the pool from your iPod."
Become a 69 Eyes Fan
"Those Helsinki vampires claim to be daywalkers and don't give shit about the sun either. Goth 'n' Rollers bear no rules except one: Look sexy in your high heels while waiting for their new album in the fall."

Nothing says "1955" like cookies made almost completely of butter. MMMMM ... butter. Use this cookie press and make 150 spritz cookies for the holidays. You'll be the star of any cookie exchange.

Tired of dealing with cookie dough all over the place? This cookie press allows you to drop the cookies on a pan mess-free. The extra-large barrel holds enough dough for three-dozen large cookies or crackers, so thereâs no need to refill it in the middle of a batch.

This is a great tool to have if you make a lot of large batches of cookies. The press holds more dough than most, so you spend less time refilling. Just fill with batter, choose one of the 16 discs (with unique imprints for every season and holiday) squeeze the ergonomic handle, and a cute little cookie will pop out on your sheet. It's as easy as that. Then do it a bunch of times, and you'll have a delicious batch to share with friends and family. Cookies cookies cookies!

Pebble Beach,CA in Monterey County, is arguably one of the prettier places on the coast. It costs alot to purchase a home here normally, but there are some great deals on Pebble Beach bank owned properties Not many places are immune to economic downturns as business and individuals alike have ups and downs. You can find Pebble Beach REO's and short sales here or just great deals, besides Monterey.
Buyers looking for foreclosures in Pebble Beach can search the Pebble Beach MLS for foreclosed luxury homes for sale. If a home goes to the foreclosure auction, one can bid cash there if you are a sophisticated buyer. If no one buys the property at the courthouse steps, then the ownership reverts to the bank. Luxury REO or bank owned Pebble Beach homes will usually be fixed up and resold later. Pebble Beach homes sold before the foreclosure stage are known as short sales.Both are good opportunities for the investor or homeowner.
When a home is sold for less than the amount still owed to the bank, it is called a short sale. Pre-foreclosure, also know as short sales can present a great opportunity for buyers looking for a good deal. Sellers who are looking to get out from under their mortgage, should consult with a knowledgeable agent regarding this time-consuming process.
Before you embark on the purchase of a short sale, make sure you have an experienced agent. Even though sellers are losing their home, as they often live there. That said, short sales can take a very long time to complete, and there's no guarantee that the lender will approve the deal, especially when there is alot at stake. Buyers looking for Pebble Beach short sales are wise to talk to a REALTOR® who is experienced with these types of sales, so they know exactly what they're getting into, on each particular home.
If you have any questions about buying short sales or REOs in Pebble Beach, feel free to contact Gregg for answers or call 831-818-7524. You can also expand your search by viewing all homes for sale in Carmel.
