Tips To Find A Reliable Buyers Agent
A real estate transaction is a complex process that involves detailed paperwork & numerous outside service providers as well as contractors. So, if you a first-time buyer, things can be tougher than you think. A good buyer's agent, in such a situation, can effectively guide you through the entire process, address your concerns, and serve as an advocate. Buyer's agents are licensed professionals who specialize in searching, evaluating, & negotiating the purchase of a property on behalf of the buyer. So, you can rely on them to find a suitable property for you as per your needs. To find the right property for you, they may submit offers & counteroffers, suggest a reliable property inspector, & offer relevant advice. However, as there are so many buyers agents out there, selecting the best one is not as easy as it looks. To make it a little easier for you, given below are some useful tips that you can use to find a reliable buyers agent.
- Beware of one-person assessments – Seeking referrals from people you know is not one of the best ways to find a trustworthy buyer's agent. Your friends and family may have enjoyed the friendly personality of the agent they used, but they are typically not in a position to assess the depth of the agent's real estate knowledge or how well they can negotiate for their buyer clients compared with other agents.
- Check Online – Whether you are planning to move locally, or intending to buy property out of state, you will find plenty of websites that offer selection assistance with buyers agents. Large portal sites have ratings and review systems that can be easily manipulated. Oftentimes agents can pay to be at the top of a search listing. Some sites are notorious for never posting a negative review, thus skewing 5-star ratings. A site that uses an objective third party to assess the agent's performance is your best bet.
- Start at the top with non-franchise independent companies – Independent real estate firms tend to be small locally-owned companies who are highly motivated to provide top quality service to you since their local reputation depends on it. The owner is directly accountable to the referring site. A good referral site will provide you with the broker/owner's name to start with. You may very well end up working directly with this licensed person. Sometimes they will suggest an agent within their office who has in-depth experience and knowledge about your preferred towns or neighborhoods. In this situation, the broker/owner is now more accountable to both you and the referring site since the performance of their agents reflects directly back on them. You know exactly who to go to if there is ever an issue of agent performance.
- Get pre-screened buyers agents within Franchise companies --- A good referral site will already have worked with the relocations manager to provide names and qualifications of the top buyers agents. These firms that typically have hundreds if not thousands of agents with all levels of expertise, so a pre-selection process is critical. Best referral sites will provide you with the manager's or relocation director's name upon request. These owners or managers are responsible for the activities of the agents who are under their employ, and are accountable to the recommending site. Calling a large franchise without a specific name in mind will likely end up with 1) a transfer to the listing agent—the last person on earth you want to talk with because they are under a written obligation to get the highest price and best terms for the seller, or 2) a transfer to the "floor" person. The floor agent is typically the newest and most inexperienced agent.
- Set one or more Appointments – It is tempting to get in a car with an agent to start looking at properties before you have thoroughly vetted them. Don't rely on just email or phone correspondence. If distance is a problem, minimally set up a Face-Time or Skype session. Request a face-to-face, no-obligation interview session.
- Interview your top one or two selections – A little time invested up front to interview your prospective agent will pay large dividends down the line. Find sites that will give you good set of starter interview questions and add your questions to that list. Sites that will give you the best answers to those screening questions are more useful than those that simply boast they are the best. For example, many of us know to ask for experience level. However, a competent agent in the complex field of real estate should have a minimum of 2 years of experience, and preferably 5, and be full-time agents.
- Unilateral Cancellation Clauses – You should select one agent within one firm to work with and commit to them in a written agreement that has a unilateral cancellation clause. This clause will protect you if their performance does not meet your expectations. These clauses are easy to write and easy to enforce. Most agents will not automatically include them. The written agreement will outline in black and white exactly what they will do to earn their commission and what happens if you choose to discontinue the relationship.
To make your search for a buyer's agent quick and easy, visit BuyerAgentSearch, a highly popular website known for providing real estate buyers like you, the access to pre-screened top buyers agents. They also provide an array of tools that you can use to select the best exclusive buyers agent. For more information, visit http://buyeragentsearch.com/.

* Lefkofsky says recent Groupon hires allow him to step back
* Lefkofsky was Groupon's first investor, remains big shareholder
* Groupon shares extend losses after Lefkofsky blog update
By Alistair Barr
SAN FRANCISCO, July 2 (Reuters) - Groupon Inc Chairman Eric Lefkofsky said on Monday he is stepping back from hands-on, operational involvement in the world's largest daily deal company to focus more on his venture capital firm Lightbank.
Lefkofsky wrote in his personal blog that he looks forward to continuing to work with Groupon Chief Executive Andrew Mason as chairman of Groupon's board of directors.
"But in the meantime, I've immersed myself in Lightbank and am focused on growing the company," Lefkofsky wrote.
Groupon shares fell almost 11 percent to close at $9.51 on Monday. The stock was down about 8 percent earlier in the day and added to losses after Lefkofsky's update.
Lefkofsky co-founded Groupon, which was launched in November 2008, with Mason and Brad Keywell. Lefkofsky was also Groupon's first investor, remains a major shareholder and has been a mentor to the young CEO Mason.
Groupon shares fell earlier this year when Starbucks Corp Chief Executive Howard Schultz left the daily deal company's board.
"Lefkofsky stepping back may have a bigger impact than Schultz leaving the board," said Herman Leung, an analyst at Susquehanna Financial Group. "Schultz was an advisor from 10,000 feet while Eric was in the trenches."
Leung cut his price target on Groupon shares to $12 from $15 on Monday morning partly on concern about higher marketing expenses. The analyst also said the growth of the Groupon Goods business may be inflating the company's take rate, an important measure of profitability.
When Groupon started, Lefkofsky said he and Mason worked in many different roles. But the company has hired several executives in the past 18 months, allowing Lefkofsky to step back.
"When Groupon was a 'young' company, Andrew and I wore a lot of different hats. Every time we hired someone new, we gave up a hat," Lefkofsky wrote. "Given the breadth of the team today, everyone's hat is planted firmly on the right head, which has allowed me to focus on doing what I do best."

Much like the avian flu (HSN1) outbreak of 2005, influenza H1N1 (aka the "swine flu") prompted an immediate lockdown on international travel. Despite the urge to quickly mitigate danger, it is never a good idea to make important decisions while in a state of panic. With talk of 30%-50% of the North American population expected to be infected by the H1N1 this flu season, now is the ideal time to create your organization's pandemic plan – or revisit an existing plan.
What Is the Issue?
IT employees are often at risk of exposure to airborne diseases due to constant travel, face-to-face interaction with numerous individuals, touching well-used surfaces like keyboards, and other factors. While the risks might be obvious, pandemic planning itself is not wholly an IT exercise since it involves collaboration and coordination between all areas of the business.

Welcome to the place where shift happens
For years, women have suffered under family subversive policies, gender pay gaps, financial vulnerability, no paid maternity leave, unaffordable child care and uninspired motherhood. That all changes today. This is the movement to shift the paradigm, shift the discourse, shift the infrastructure and shift the experience of womankind and motherhood for all. And it all begins with the greatest public health issue of our time: breastfeeding and maternal and infant health.
My name is Kimberly Seals Allers and I am on a mission to shift the cultural norm for infant feeding in this country with a powerful and dynamic movement that will ensure healthier generations of mothers and babies.

Hazardous waste treatment, storage, and disposal facility (TSDF) regulations: 40 CFR 124 and 40 CFR 264 to 279
TSDF fees: Iowa Code 455B.424
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 7
See ADDRESSES & CONTACTS for addresses and telephone numbers.
See national section for basic information and federal regulations.
• Rules. The federal rules for hazardous waste treatment, storage, and disposal facilities (TSDFs) are in effect in Iowa. In addition, permitted TSDFs must pay several state fees, such as an annual U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Identification Number fee and a hazardous waste management fee. See the state section TSDF PERMITS for information on these fees.
• Administration and enforcement. EPA's Region 7 office enforces the TSDF requirements in Iowa. In fact, EPA enforces all of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act hazardous waste management requirements because the state has not had EPA authorization to implement its own hazardous waste management program since 1985 and has no plans to apply for EPA authorization in the near future.

- Snug fit
Girls have loads of choice when it comes to wearing something sexy. Boys are less week catered for. This item probably doesn't quite do the trick. Firstly it doesn't exude quality. It's not expensive but it shows. Secondly you need a bigger size. Iam pretty slim and average I would say but it was a snug fit. To put it bluntly I could not fit everything in, even at rest. Thirdly there is a pointless piece of what look likes knicker elastic to hold your cock and balls in position. This is completely pointless and just means it fits less well. In summary if you buy one go for a size larger than you think and cut out the bit of elastic. Great service from uberkinky though. Happy shopping.

HTC is getting increasingly aggressive. Not only this the company pushing out high quality, luxury smartphones, but it has recently acquired S3 Graphics from the processor manufacturer, VIA, for $300 million. While S3 graphics doesn't really compare to Nvidia or ATI, they do a lot of work for mobile technologies.
While Intel and AMD dominate the majority of the computer processing market, VIA is still a key player in the system. VIA chips are typically used on smaller, lower cost devices where either budget or power concerns are key issues. The newest VIA chip is the world's lowest power quad-core x86 processor and is named QuadCore. The brand new chip will be arriving in June of this year and will be a very efficient muti-core architecture chip that provides multi-threaded performance.
VIA Technologies make computer chips for power efficient x86 processor platforms. The company announced on Friday that it will be rolling out a new line of low power dual core VIA Nano X2 Series processors at the ESC (Embedded System Conference) in San Jose.

Hello all! Tuesday night I made some MMF and all went well, except that as I was rolling it out, I kept finding little junks of "gel" ???? It was just for a family meal for my son's bday so I didn't worry too much. Tonight, I have to make more MMF for a large birthday cake for his party tomorrow. Anyone have ANY idea why I might have gotten those little jelly-like lumps in my fondant? I want to avoid it tonight if at all possible!
What recipe are you using? I have never had a problem like that with making my mmf. Are you using a mixer to mix it? There could be lots of reasons for things to happen, just depends on recipe, how you made it. Maybe we can figure it out if we have more info. Sorry not much help here.
I am using a recipe I found here ............ 1 lb. marshmallows, 2T water, powdered sugar ...
Melt marshmallows and water ... add some powdered sugar and mix ... then knead in more PS until done! ...... The first couple of times I made this recipe I had no problems .. but the last 2 times I've gotten the little jelly pieces .... so strange!
Try FlowerGirlMN post here. It is right in the very beginning. It is absolutely THE BEST way to make MMF. I have added melted salt, lemon extract, vanilla extract, etc., to the liquid portion to cut down the sweetness & add flavor. Her way of making MMF is devine.
The very first time I ever made her MMF, it took me like all of 7 minutes. HTH!
Thans, GI .. but hers IS the recipe I follow! I don't know why it's done this the past two times .. *scratching head*
hmm, jelly pieces, that's strange i've never experienced that before, although when i make MMF (just made some tonight) if i don't knead it enough i get little powdered sugar chunks stuck inside the fondant and i just have to knead it more and work it in, or smash the chunks with my fingers, but this is more like little pebbles rather than a jelly type thing. do they go away if you knead it more?
did you melt the marshmallows completely - i'm wondering if you had little pieces that didn't melt all the way that turned to "jelly".
just guessing...
Gosh....try sifting the powdered sugar. I'll bet you have a few 'mallows that are being stubborn. Smush it around a bit and make sure all are good and melted out flat.
Are you using a store brand or the name brand?
I am using Kraft marshmallows .... tonight i sifted my powdered sugar so we'll see how it goes .... I will really stir and make sure the marshmallows are all melted ... thanks so much for trying to help! I love CC!!!
I had this happen once to me too...when I used generic powdered sugar. Don't know if that's an issue for you, but it was a big pain! Good luck!
Yes, it happens to me once in awhile but it happens with a certain brand flavoring that I use. It only happens the first time I open a new bottle and it only happens to the first batch with that bottle. Don't know. I'm confused myself. It just happened about two weeks ago with me so I am baffled by this as well. I don't think its the powdered sugar because it's jelly not dry, powdery stuff.
it also happened to me just recently. followed the direction but got this jelly lumps on my MMF... what i know is, i used a old marshmallow that i've ben keeping on my "baking cabinet" for 2 months or more... i THINK this cause the "jelly" on MMF's.
I used store brand of Marshmallows. And they were the little mini's. So wonder if Kraft has an extra oomph to their mallows that give them a jelly-when-melted.... hhmmmmm....
maimai ~ the time before I wondered if it was because I used old marshmallows ... but Tuesday i used freshly purchased marshmallows (and our stores have stocked up due to Thanksgiving holiday) ... so I don't know what to think? I still had some jelly lumps tonight, but not as many as before ... it is so strange!

FAQs - Live Event Painting
Why hire an artist to paint live?
Think of the most memorable event you've been to. Why was it special? Usually it has to do with personalization and an intentional message. When these two elements are present at any event, a special memory is created. By hiring me to create an artwork at your event, your guests will feel more connected to your purpose and will remember the party for a long time. Guests see the painting unfold before their eyes in the course of a few hours and during that time are subconsciously impacted by the process. In short, parties with live entertainment are more fun!
What will the painting look like?
We'll discuss your ideas for the painting during the initial phone/email consultation. Together we will come up with suitable imagery for your event. Some commonly requested ideas include portraits, ring exchange, first dance, and the getaway for weddings. For corporate events or festivals some ideas include company logos, symbols related to the event theme, florals and, landscapes, and abstracts. Ultimately, the painting will be a combination of the requested imagery and my unique creative style. Check out my gallery to get some ideas!
Who gets to keep the painting?
You do! The painting created live at your event is yours to keep. It's an amazing heirloom keepsake to treasure for generations. If it's a corporate event, you can later display the piece in a prominent area of your lobby or executive office. Churches often exhibit the art in the sanctuary, fellowship hall, or vestibule for years to come. Individuals and couples keep the painting hanging in their favorite location of the house. Fundraisers sometimes auction the artwork at the end of the evening to raise more money for their event. How you display the artwork created is up to you!
What about the copyright? Can I make prints of the art to give out or turn into notecards?
The copyright of the artwork remains with the artist. So, that means any reproductions of any kind need my approval. I offer prints, notecards, and an array of decor/gift options which your art can be printed on. Let me know what you're interested in and I'll get you a quote!
What do I need to provide for the artist at my event?
I will need a space of about 7'x7' and access to an electrical outlet nearby. I bring my own supplies including an easel, clamp lights, paints, canvases, drop cloth "rug", plastic, a stool, and a small table for supplies.
Will it bother the artist if my guests watch as she paints?
I am very comfortable painting in front of an audience, and even answering any questions guests may have while working your event.
Is it messy or smelly?
No. I am very careful when painting at your event. But, just in case, I provide a drop cloth "rug" with thin plastic underneath to protect the surrounding area. I don't splatter, spill, or throw paint, so your guests will feel very safe. I only use acrylic paint and water, which emit no toxic chemical smells.
How long does it take to complete the painting?
Most paintings are completed in about 5 hours. Much of the painting will be done on site during your event. Then afterwards, I will take the final painting back to my studio for some finishing touches and then return it to you within 1-2 weeks.
Is the finished painting framed and ready to hang?
Yes. When you get your finished painting it will be professionally and stylishly framed with a complimentary solid wood frame in the color of your choice (Walnut, Espresso, Cherry, Burgundy, Honey Maple, Natural, White Wash, Grey, Black). Your painting will be ready to hang with proper hanging wires and included hanging hardware. (An ornate frame style is available for a small upgrade fee, if desired.)
What if I need to cancel or reschedule my event?
That's ok, but I need advance notice. You may cancel or reschedule up to 6 weeks prior to your event date for a full refund (except for booking fee). If between 3-6 weeks notice are given, you will be given a 50% refund (except for booking fee). Less than 3 weeks, no refunds.
I'd like to have more than one artist at my event, can you help?
Yes! I am connected to hundreds of artists worldwide and can assist in arranging multiple artists for your event in any location. Why not have 2 or more artists working at your event? Each artist will capture the event with his/her unique style while painting live and you will have multiple paintings to showcase later. The cost for additional artists can be discussed in your phone consultation.

The widower of the female preacher, Deaconess Eunice Elisha Olawale, who was murdered while she was doing and early morning call to worship in the Kubwa area of Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory, Pastor Elisha Olawale, is still yet to come to terms with the fact that his wife of 16 years and the mother of his seven children, is gone.
Olawale who is a minister with the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), broke down in tears as friend, family members and well wishers trooped into his family home to condole with him.
Olawale was in tears as sympathizers gathered around him to offer their condolences, asking why his wife should be killed in such a reckless manner.
Meanwhile, an Islamic cleric, an Imam, has been arrested in connection with the murder of the woman. It was gathered from police sources that the Imam who is in charge of a Mosque in the area, had ordered his followers to chase the woman away while she was preaching but the youths took laws into their hands and rather, stoned the harmless woman to death.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Stock futures were edging higher Tuesday as investors balanced upbeat earnings from Delta Air Lines (DAL) and Travelers Companies (TRV) with a worse than expected government job creation report that fueled expectations that the Federal Reserve will delay any tapering until early 2014 at the earliest. Apple (AAPL) shares were also providing a boost, rising ahead of its iPad event in San Francisco.
Futures for the S&P 500 were up 5.75 points, or 4.94 points above fair value, to 1,744. Futures for the Dow Jones Industrial Average were ahead by 52 points, or 40.35 points above fair value, to 15,374. Futures for the Nasdaq were up 13.3 points, or 21.07 points above fair value, to 3,367.3.
Delta Air Lines shares were advancing 3.8% to $25.62 after beating earnings estimates, reducing debt, paying a dividend and buying back shares. The moves were underscoring its commitment to lure investors back to the airline industry.
Travelers Companies was rising 2% to $88.50 after the insurance company exceeded third-quarter earnings expectations by 28 cents at $2.35 a share as underwriting margins strengthened. The company also added $5 billion to its share repurchase program.

United Technologies (UTX), the world's largest maker of elevators and air conditioners, was falling 0.58% to $107, after surpassing third-quarter earnings by a penny at $1.55 a share on worse than expected sales amdi the ongoing weakness in military aerospace markets and slow pace of recovery in Europe. The company is now expecting full year sales of about $63 billion, down from the previous estimate of $64 billion.

NovaBay Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NYSEMKT: NBY) has set for itself many targets to hit before the end of 2016. But there is one that the management of the company has been talking about repeatedly: achieving positive cash flow.
Through a combination of sales improvement and expenses reduction, NovaBay Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NYSEMKT:NBY) wants to achieve adjusted cash flow from operations by the end of this year. At the release of the 2Q2016 and 1H2016 results, the CEO Mark M. Sieczkarek talked about how far they have gone in pursuing that target.
According to Sieczkarek, NovaBay is still on track to achieving positive cash flow in 2016. Improving sales of Avenova and last year's restructuring of the company are some of reasons the management is confident of attaining positive cash flow position.
The restructuring has helped NovaBay cut its cash burn by almost 50%.
Avenova sales potential
Avenova remains a key revenue driver at NovaBay Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NYSEMKT: NBY). Sales of the product hit $2.6 million in 2Q2016, indicating an increase of 89% over the previous quarter and making it the largest contributor of product sales. NovaBay added that pharmacy sales of the product rose 201% and more than 1,100 new prescribers of the product were added in 2Q2016. Further, the number of medical professionals prescribing Avenova rose 12% in the latest quarter.
But sales opportunities of the product are still huge. CEO Sieczkarek told investors at the 2Q earnings call that he believes they have barely scratched the surface with regards to market opportunity for Avenova. NovaBay estimates that there are still about 41 million Americans who are eligible to use the product.
2Q2016 highlight for NovaBay Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NYSEMKT: NBY)
NovaBay Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NYSEMKT: NBY)'s net sales rose 164% YoY to $2.7 million in 2Q2016, with product revenue rising 185%. Product revenue include sales of NeutroPhase and Avenova.
NovaBay Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NYSEMKT: NBY) reported that its gross profit improved to 82% from 75% a year earlier thanks largely to higher sales of Avenova. The 80% decrease in R&D costs, 35% decline in G&A expenses and 23% fall in sales and marketing expenses enabled NovaBay to significantly cut its net loss in the latest quarter. The company post EPS loss of $0.36, down from EPS loss of $1.84 a year ago.

Sam slowly opened her new laptop, her fingers automatically going through the steps of logging in. Startled by the popup demanding that she re-enter her password, she paused. Damn, I can't believe I... She sat for a minute, eyes closed and fists clenched, taking slow, shuddering breaths. Letter by letter she carefully typed in the new password she'd chosen, the keyboard blurring as her eyes filled again with tears.
Wiping her eyes, Sam opened Word and began typing. I have to...to...something. I have to... She'd bought the laptop, feeling the need to be connected to something...anything. Now she wasn't sure where to start.
Jack's dead. There, I've written it. It's there before me, in black and white.
My new life. I don't have one. I am alone.
I love you.
I wish I had stayed there and died with you.
Oh God, I just ache inside. I can't....what more can be said? I am not even allowed the consolation of work or friends. The Navy, this strange...wrong...Navy has cut me off. Wasn't even the Air Force. But the Navy? Set me adrift. Cast me aside. I am not allowed to contact Daniel or Cam. I don't even know where they are. I am…lost. Oh God, Jack. I miss you.
It's been a month. Or, it will be tomorrow. A month. 30 days since Baal stabbed me in the heart. Maybe it was Jack's body, but it was my heart. What's funny in that 'O'Neill sense of humor way' is that even if we'd been able to return to the SGC that we know, I would still have been mourning alone. Why did we work so hard to keep it quiet? The minute he went to Washington we were free to date. Free to...be. Frat rules apply only to direct chain of command. We could have...should have...won't ever get to...God. Jack…Jack.
Dear Jack, Hallowe'en is tomorrow. I don't know why I always journal at the end of the month. Maybe it's because...I just don't know. I don't really have to work anymore, ever again. The Navy pays my bills, keeps my bank account at a set level, keeps tabs on me...
I've discovered something. I hate gardening. I still love the cello, but I can't play it anymore, it makes me miss you too much. Guess I'd better stock up on candy, or the kids in this neighborhood will think I'm the mean lady. I promise to get lots of mini KitKats, just because I know you love...loved...them.
This will never get easier, won't it?
I came this close today to calling Daniel. I have his number now. My Government handler left the room during our meeting yesterday to take a call, and I, of course, flipped through the folder. You'd be proud of me, Jack. I was stealthy and quick, even while reading upside down. I couldn't find Cam's information though. I wonder where his Grandma lived? Maybe he's somewhere in the south?
It's been four months, Jack, and I miss you more every day. I begged Landry to let us go back and set things right. Begged. He wouldn't hear of it. Still won't. They've threatened to incarcerate me if I continue to call. In this timeline he's still married, you know, or even married again. He is. Not you and me. Or rather, in this time you seem to be married too. It's like worrying at a sore tooth. I know that somewhere in this universe you are here, and happy. You and Sara and Charlie…your beloved Charlie. Landry is right in that respect, I guess. How could I ever think of going back and putting things "right" if it means ripping your heart out of you, Jack? My heart torn asunder while yours, in this place, remains whole. Maybe it is better this way.
Or not. I love you and miss you.
Christmas sucks. It's awful. I...well, Jack, I have a confession to make. I went and saw you. The "here" you, the one that knows me as "dead astronaut Col. Samantha Carter." You, or rather, he never knew I was there. I couldn't resist. I...oh God, what was I thinking? I packed up my car and headed west. I took a guess that you'd be living in your house, your old house with Sara, and sure enough. I sat in my car a few houses down from your place and just watched and waited. It was the day you, or he I guess...God, that's so confusing. Anyway, it was the day you all came home with your tree. You got out, then...Charlie. My heart stopped.
God, Jack, you should have seen him. Tall and strong, handsome–like his dad. Wonderful laugh. He's got sandy brown hair, cut long–which I'll bet drives you nuts. I wish I could have been closer, just to see his eyes. I imagine that they sparkle with laughter, like yours do, like you're laughing at a private joke. I guess he's about nineteen or twenty now. Here, in your time. This time. That's be right, wouldn't it? He...died...in my universe when he was nine or so, and that makes him, or would make him...I can't believe I can't wrap my mind around this. Anyway...Charlie started lifting the tree off of your Jeep and Sara came around the other side of the car. I left when you started the snowball fight. You all looked so happy, so...content. Landry's right. We...I...have no right to....
I ache for the you of now. Sometime in the future all of this, your happiness, your family, maybe even your beautiful son, will be gone. But, for just a moment, I got to see what could have been. It hurt me to see, but it also comforts me, somewhat, to see you so...alive. So happy.
So now I'm sitting in my hotel room, just blocks from your house. Your real house in my mind, the house at the edge of town. The one I know. The one my Jack should be in. That I should be in. The one we'll never be in again. I miss you, but I'm learning to live with it.
Hi Jack. I realized after rereading over my entries that these are not really journal entries, but more letters to you. Funny how the mind works.
Remember our first official date? Tomorrow will be the first anniversary of that night. How funny was that? It was so nice to be able to go to dinner and not worry about...anything. I remember sitting there, looking into your eyes and thinking, "I don't have to look away." I knew that I could sit and stare at your incredible brown eyes all night and nobody could say anything about it. You about made me faint when you kissed my cheek on your way to the restroom. I can still smell your cologne. It felt so right...so normal, you know? After knowing you...loving you...for so long, we could simply go out for a regular dinner. Like regular people.
It's been six months now. I'm fairly settled in my neighborhod, keeping busy. Oh, there was lots of hell to pay from my handlers for my little jaunt west last month. It doesn't matter. Nothing they could do to me could equal the pain I have inside.
I'm learning to like gardening, or at least planting vegetables. My flowers always die, but my tomatoes are doing well. I'm growing them inside for now and will replant them when it warms up. I've been reading a lot too, catching up on trashy novels, staying away from anything scientific. Last week I met...oh, who the hell am I kidding? I can feel my brain cells slowly dying, you know. Jack, last week I found myself standing in the paint aisle of Lowes wondering if I should paint the back fence 'periwinkle' or 'stable blue.' I think the poor clerk thought I was nuts when I suddenly burst into tears and ran from the store.
I'm thirty-eight years old and have nothing but a vacuous life to look forward to. Did I mention that I miss you? I do and I will, always.
Thank God this is the shortest month of the year. What an awful month. First, I was recognized. The girl down the block, she's about seventeen or so, is an absolute space buff. She never misses a shuttle mission or ISS development. Or so I now know. I was out front shoveling snow when a small foam model of the Intrepid landed next to my boot. I looked up and there was Janey Michaels, a mile-wide grin on her face, all green-eyed and freckle-faced innocence. She squatted down and just whispered, "I know who you are, Col. Carter."
Well, Jack, let me just say, I was–to quote the annoying Dr. McKay–gobsmacked. It's a good thing I had all those years of denial and pretending experience to fall back on, because I managed to sort of stumblingly deny anything. Janey basically told me she had figured out who I was and that I must be part of some government conspiracy. Honestly, Jack, I was so surprised that I barely managed to be civil before sprinting into the house. You used to joke about how slowly the government moves...well Jack, you'd be surprised. I was packed, re-ID'd and relocated before 24 hours were up. My handlers are furious. At least this time I got to pick my location.
I am now the proud owner of a small cabin in...wait for it...Minnesota. I know it's wrong, sick even, in a weird kind of way, but I...I needed to feel close to you. It's not going away, this 'missing you' thing, you know. You're stuck in my head...my heart, Jack O'Neill, and I can't get you out. And I don't want to.
So, what else went wrong this month? Oh, yes...the ever joyful Valentine's Day. We were supposed to have that whole week together this year. You, me and lots and lots of sun and surf. To be perfectly honest, I was hoping that we'd talk about a wedding that weekend. I even had a speech worked out, you know, just in case the moment arrived and I felt like proposing to you. That would have thrown you, wouldn't it? I shouldn't have waited.
Loving you and missing you even more, your Sam.
Holy Hannah is it unbelievably cold here! Okay, so I knew–intellectually–that it gets cold here, but in practicality? Wow. I don't have anything to write this month as I've done basically nothing. Well, not entirely true. I did some random calculations on the probability of mulitiphase...you don't really care, do you? I finally tabled my notes by falling back on Occam's Razor: all other things being equal, the simplest solution is the best. I've thought about this a lot, and I really think that if we can just get back to the gate, we can fix this. I can fix this. I can fix you.
I know it sounds insane, but it's the only think keeping me from going wacko right now.
Always yours, Sam.
Snow. Lots of snow. I miss you even more. How is that possible?
Hi Jack. I took great delight in the fact that due to late spring storms Tim Mason, my new handler, had to drive way the hell up here to check with me because the phones and Internet are down again.
I snuck a quick call to Daniel last week. He's doing well and is getting used to his new prosthetic leg. I'm setting him up with an anonymous ftp client so we can exchange pictures again. I miss him...and Cassie. I miss Cassie. She's not even Cassie in our universe, is she? She never came to Earth. Oh God, Jack, our Cassie's probably dead! She would have died alone on Hanka.
I'm going back to bed. Maybe I'll wake up and you'll be here, and this will all be just a bad dream.
Always, Sam.
Well, Jack, it's spring, finally, here in Minnesota. Cal down at the local diner says that it'll be coho fishing time again soon, whatever that means. He's a nice guy, even offered me a semi-clean hanky when I began to cry. I like your Minnesotan's, Jack. They're warm, quick to lend a hand, and willing to stand by and let me be when I need to be quiet.
I'm going back into town for supplies today. I'm out of everything, including Fruit Loops, which they call "Frooties" here. Go figure. They even screw up the name of your cereal in this timeline.
I have more to tell you, Jack, but I'll wait 'till tonight when I get back. I need to make some decisions soon, and maybe you can help. Until I get back, think of me as I do you, every minute of every day.
- -
There is a sequel to this, of sorts to be found on my main ff dot net page. It's called Approaching Normal. It was written after a fan wrote me a review of this story and demanded I "fix it," and make Sam happy again. So, I did.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
My father was injured on the job two months before he was layed off. After the lay off, he filed for worker's comp and was approved. He is receiving a worker's comp check and an unemployment check too. Is this legal?
Usually duplicate benenfits are not permitted. The question is jurisdiction specific and it also depends on the type of workers' comopensation benenfit you are receiving, ie. temporary or permanent. Consult an attorney in your State.Ask a similar question
Generally speaking, workers' comp benefits are available only to those with disability related to a work accident. Unemployment compensation benefits, on the other hand, require the recipient to certify that s/he is ready, willing, and able to work. Obviously, these two concepts are incompatible. So, it is possible that receiving both checks at the same time is not lawful; but, you did not provide enough facts to be certain.
If your father has questions specific to his situation, he should contact an attorney.

Please critique. Its not my resume, I'm designing it for someone else.
thanks guys.
please critique resume
Primary tabs
Please critique. Its not my resume, I'm designing it for someone else.
"targeted for resume companies"
I don't know what this means. If it means the resume will be scanned into various databases, then the name (Christine Hoang) must be readable, not oblong-dot fonts or letters connected together top and bottom. Just a simple readable font.
Who is the target audience? and what is the goal of this resume? Are you seeking comments on the design or typography or wording of the resume? What?
For me there's too much going on, makes it difficult to keep the eyes reading sequentially as my eyes are going all over the place.
I'm not clear on the difference between 'professional experience' and 'professional development'...the way it's chunked doesn't tell me what to expect in those sections. Also the fact there are ten positions since 2009 makes me *very* nervous.
I'd make it all one tense: you have the first two jobs in present tense then a mix throughout.
Helvetica? I'd go for something easier to read; Helvetica isn't great in short lines without masses of leading.
Needs proofing. On p.2 'DISCOVERSD' and 'vanalysis'.
I'm a tech writer and really don't deal with resumes or video game companies. But here is my opinion.
Change the font to something more up-to-date, even if it's just Calibri. Helvetica is too old-school, for a hip video company.
I would not out-dent the top level heading (Professional Development, Education, Computer Skills) as this does make me want to look to the left hand column to see if it goes with anything there. Just do a straight left alignment.
Like Bendy, I can't tell the difference between Professional Experience and Professional Development. But I may be out of the loop on this. If you need to, just put a note under the words Professional Development to define it.
The problem with the top of this resume is that nothing is lined up. The name Christine Hoang is just plopped in there. Nothing is lined up vertically with the top of Christine's head. Nothing is lined up horizontally with the right column. Nothing is lined up and this needs to be fixed.
Note that underneath Christine's picture the three lines have a line spacing problem. And the two contact numbers really have no connection to the term "The Game Changer", which actually should be with Christine's name.
Here's what I would do. Using only the first column, above Christine's picture, right aligned. Do not use all caps. Use the same font although maybe the first two lines are a little bit bigger:
Christine Hoang
The Game Changer
This makes Christine's name smaller, but will look nicer, in my opinion. Be sure to leave a little white space below the email address and on the left side (it's right aligned) to make it stand out. There may be other solutions, but that's mine. Keep the things that go together, together.
Then move "Professional Experience to the top of the page and keep on trucking with the column straight left aligned.
Other comments:
Like Bendy, I noticed the present tense for the present jobs and past tense for past jobs. Is this standard in resumes? I don't know.
"send invites to become new members" Do you want to say invites or invitations?
"for recruiter send-out" This sounds jargony to me. I would say "for recruiters to send out"
"up-sold" This sounds jargony to me. I would say "Sold additional gaming accessories and offered suggestions to customers"
"Promote events online" This needs some jargon: Facebook or blog or google ads. Put some tech specs in here.
"and directly with a grassroots approach" Wow! sounds great, how about a few more words for details
"Responsible for managing social media networks" Just go ahead and drop a few tech names here.
"Photographed events" For?? Were they ever used anywhere?
- Not sure why the contact info is hidden below the drawing
- Maybe try to knock out the background of the drawing so it is fully white
- Shouldn't a resume, especially of someone fairly young, be limited to a page? This is typically done to keep it limited to the most important elements. My opinion is that you have a lot of extra info that you are asking me to mentally edit, which is a burden to the reader.
- Unless it is for an illustration position, I am not sure the drawing is a good thing to include.
- I wouldn't indent the text for each entry. The bold headings are enough to separate the sections, or you could add a bit of vertical space.
I feel that the highly stylized photo is too much. Even for a video game company. There could be some benefit if they are looking to hire for her looks but other than that, it doesn't say enthusiastic individual.
Then again, it does look like she helps with promotions where her looks can be quite valuable for all those lovely pimply gamers... ;)
If there is time, I'd recommend jumping onto a few Forums of actual video games and see if you can get some feedback from the company themselves. The only one that I have experience with is League of Legends. The employee's are on the forums all the time, so give that a shot.
If you want to give a bit of character to this, maybe you can give her head and glasses some sort of cool treatment. Illustrate it in a fun manner or in a funky photo/filtered way. The entire body shot just isn't recommended in my opinion. But who knows? Maybe send it in, wait a few weeks, send in a little toned down one...?
Other thoughts:
Instead of blowing out her name, what about a statement? "I PLAY GAMES, TOO!" —Christine Hoang. Or adding her PSN XBOX Live name. Companies in the video game industry want to see players applying.
I agree with Luma Vine. The contact information should be with the name.

Here's what she texted me, I've been trying to break up with her it been couple of days now . But she keeps blaming herself for it. I don't want this to be tough break up for her. She is 18 and I'm like her first so, can any girls help with a kind reply that I can send to her?
Most Helpful Girl
Just say : " I wanna talk to you about something. I know me trying to break up with you before must of been painful, but honestly I have lost feelings for you, I just have, nothing is wrong with you babe, it's just you know how you can't make yourself feel something for someone you don't feel it for? I wish I still had feelings for you but I don't. And I don't wanna lead you on, I just wanna let you go so someone who can have true feelings for you will get the chance to show it and not hurt you. I know I am your first but I can assure you that you are young and there are so many out there and it's just not me. I really don't mean to hurt you but I am sure it would hurt you more if I stay and you develop more feelings and I realize I can't pretend that things are right and I feel anything for you. I really wish you the best and I am so sorry for the hurt I am causing you. It's not gonna last forever I promise. Well I have to go, I am so sorry and please forgive me one day. Bye"

Bitcoin Price Key Highlights
- Bitcoin price was previously trending higher on its short-term time frames, moving inside an ascending channel visible on the 30-min and 1-hour charts.
- Price was rejected on its test of resistance and made its way back down to the channel support as expected.
- However, this floor broke down, signaling that a reversal from the uptrend may be in order.
Bitcoin price could be in for a selloff now that it broke below the short-term channel support and is testing the next inflection point.
Technical Indicators Signals
The 100 SMA is still above the longer-term 200 SMA so there could be a chance for a bounce. However, price has already dipped below the dynamic support at the 100 SMA and looks ready to break below the 200 SMA as well, setting the stage for a potential downward crossover later on.
Stochastic is deep in the oversold region, which means that sellers are starting to get exhausted. The oscillator has yet to cross higher and make its way out of the oversold area before it indicates a return in buying momentum. If a bounce takes place, bitcoin price could simply retest the broken channel support around $590 before resuming its drop.

|What is the difference between a nested element and a nested type?
|Thu, 09 Jun 2005 08:51:11 GMT
Hi all, I was wondering if someone could enlighten me on this? I tried to implement a custom type and use it in my build file but everytime I get the error message that the nested "Element" is not supported by the task. Basically, I have something like this: public class MyTask extends Task { private List myTypes = new ArrayList(); public void add(MyTypeBase c) { myTypes.add(c); } public void execute() { ... } } I use it as follow in the buildfile: <target ...> <taskdef name="mytask".../> <typedef name="mytype" class="MyConcreteType" /> <mytask> <mytype .../> </mytask> </target> where MyConcreteType is a subclass of MyBaseType. This donot work. I can only make it work if I write it as public class MyTask extends Task { private List myTypes = new ArrayList(); public MyConcreteType createConcreteType() { MyConcreteType c = new ... myTypes.add(c); return c; } public void execute() { ... } } As far as I understand the short tutorial in the manual, the second implementation is the implementation of nested elements and the first is the one of the nested types. I am a little bit confused about what is an element, a type in the ant context. The deal is that I would rather have a type and not an element, because with an element, I would have to write for each concrete type the corresponding createXXX() method. -- Best Regards, Eric Tchepannou --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com For additional commands, e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com

Diego Maradona explains how the weak hierarchy of the AFA will see his fellow compatriot Lionel Messi never don the national shirt again.
The 1986 World Cup winning captain addresses the Messi-Argentina situation by saying he won't change his decision as he brands the AFA to having "weak leadership."
The Barcelona ace surprisingly called time on his international career after losing yet another major tournament. Messi failed to convert his spot-kick in the shootout against Chile which contributed to Argentina's second consecutive Copa America Final defeat.
Maradona also believes new boss Edgardo Bauza will prove to be unsuccessful in luring the five-time Ballon d'Or winner out of retirement. Speaking to Radio La Red he claimed;
"I think Messi is going to say no to Bauza. This is my thinking. Maybe I'm wrong. We are very bad. We run the risk of not going to Qatar."
While adding; "What happened with Messi exposes what's been going on for a lifetime. How is it that the families of the (AFA) leaders are more comfortable than the players?"
Argentina's painful International misery continued as they were dumped out of the Olympics failing to advance from the group stages.

Canterbury: 'Jimmy' has options
SHAKOPEE, Minn. - The well-traveled Jimmy Cracked Corn faces six other 3-year old colts and geldings in the $40,000 St. Paul Stakes at Canterbury Park.
Owned by Temple Webber Jr., Jimmy Cracked Corn will run at his fifth racetrack since being transferred to the Tom Amoss barn at the beginning of the year.
A winner of the Bucharest Stakes at Sam Houston in January, Jimmy Cracked Corn has since run a solid second in both the Golden Circle Stakes at Prairie Meadows and an overnight handicap at Arlington Park.
A versatile runner who can either press or stalk the pace, Jimmy Cracked Corn gives leading rider Derek Bell some useful tactical options in the six-furlong contest.
Wild Buckaroo ships to Canterbury from his Prairie Meadows base for trainer Rick Engel. In his most recent start, Wild Buckaroo finished fourth in his first try around two turns. He defeated allowance foes by over seven lengths in his seasonal debut two starts back.
Wild Buckaroo has experience at Canterbury Park, having finished second to the runaway winner Cactus Ridge in the Canterbury Juvenile last year. Scott Stevens will ride.
The lightly raced Leaving a Legend finished second in an allowance test against older rivals at Prairie Meadows in his last start and appears an upset threat with Seth Martinez aboard.
Notonetoquit, Mississippi Rain, Cincinnatti Jay, and Frosty Event round out the St. Paul Stakes field.

Sliced Meat Loaf
Yesterday, Unfair Park received a press release from the offices of legendary publicist Ken Sunshine bearing the, well, news that Meat Loaf has filed a federal lawsuit in Los Angeles. And what's bugging the former Marvin Aday, graduate of good ol' Thomas Jefferson High School? Seems his old pal and songwriting partner Jim Steinman (and former manager David Sonenberg) is laying claim to the title Bat Out of Hell, which Loaf wants to use once more when he releases--or tries to, looks like--Bat Out of Hell III: The Monster is Loose in October. There's nothing uglier than when two old friends turn on each other; after all, Steinman is the man about whom Loaf told Rolling Stone in 1993, "Nobody writes like Jim Steinman. All these things--bombastic, over the top, self-indulgent--all these things are positives."
Theories abound as to how their friendship fell apart. Some speculate it has to do with the fact Steinman wasn't asked to work on the new disc, which includes appearances by the likes of original 1977 Bat Out of Hell producer Todd Rundgren, Motley Crue's Nikki Sixx and Queen's Brian May. But Steinman probably never got that invite because in 1995, Loaf's attorney claims, Steinman filed with the United States Patent and Trademark Office an application to trademark for the phrase "Bat Out Of Hell," which, apparently, he received. In the press release, Loaf's attorney, Skip Miller, says, "Meat Loaf will not be bullied by anyone. He will continue to use the title Bat Out of Hell in any way he wants. Meat Loaf has made every effort to bring Steinman into the creation of Bat Out of Hell III: The Monster is Loose." Meat wants $50 million too. Who doesn't?
By the way, to those who have asked when Unfair Park will resume posting about the history of Dallas music--of which Meat Loaf's a slice--we'll begin again some time this week or whenever I get sleep, whichever comes first. --Robert Wilonsky
