Precious things lose their luster fast in ''Golden Boy,'' the 1964 musical inspired by Clifford Odets's hit drama of 1937. The working-class hero's golden aura tarnishes as he punches his way to fame in the boxing ring. As for those diamonds he sings about plucking from a glamorous, forbidden world, you can be sure they'll dissolve into dust once he finds them.
Ah, such is life in the romantically cynical world of Odets, even Odets updated to the hip standards of 1964 and set to jazzy music. Theatergoers lucky enough to see the Encores! concert presentation of ''Golden Boy'' at City Center, however, may have trouble buying this worldview.
For this seemingly cobwebbed period piece -- largely remembered as a showcase for the flashy charms of another period piece named Sammy Davis Jr. -- turns out to be filled with diamonds: glittering, multifaceted songs whose value has definitely not depreciated. And they have been strung tautly and closely in a fast-paced, ear-opening production that puts the emphasis on one of the most compelling musical scores to come out of the last four decades.
That score is provided by Charles Strouse, the composer best known for ''Bye, Bye, Birdie,'' ''Applause'' and ''Annie.'' The music in those shows, so insistently bouncy and tuneful that it instantly translates into something to hum, doesn't begin to hint at the richness, tension and complexity that Mr. Strouse brought to ''Golden Boy.''
Here are songs that capture urban vitality, dissonance and ambition in a way that ''Sweet Smell of Success,'' the newly opened Broadway musical, longs to do but never manages. With tough, canny lyrics by Lee Adams, Mr. Strouse's frequent collaborator, ''Golden Boy'' rings with the sounds of the anger, skepticism and high-flying hope of black Americans in 1960's Harlem, feeling the rumble of the swelling civil rights movement down south.
Granted, these sentiments have been interpreted into Broadway-ese by two white guys, who were also specifically tailoring their work to the Vegas-buffed talents of Davis. But as Mr. Strouse has written of what was clearly a fraught collaboration, ''We went against each other, which, as we all know, can end in love.'' No matter how odd and varied the ingredients in this show's score, the resulting taste is often ambrosial.
The smartly staged, wonderfully sung concert version, which runs through tomorrow, knows the show's strength, and it doesn't make the mistake -- as Encores! sometimes has in recent ventures -- of straining to create the illusion of a full-dress production.
Under Walter Bobbie's brisk direction, with tasty choreography by Wayne Cilento, this ''Golden Boy'' hustles right along on fast feet, like a bantamweight in prime condition, from song to song. The book, shrewdly streamlined by the playwright Suzan-Lori Parks (''Topdog/Underdog''), still has the mildew of Depression-age melodrama, waiting to be spoofed.
You know the story: Joe Wellington (Alfonso Ribeiro), a sensitive young man from the mean streets, turns out to have a wicked way with boxing gloves and despite his loving family's objections decides to fight his way into a corrupt world of riches.
Along the way he meets a Mephistopheles-like promoter with the delicious name of Eddie Satin (Norm Lewis) and falls in love with a hard-boiled, soft-hearted woman named Lorna Moon (Anastasia Barzee), who happens to be the girlfriend of Joe's schmo of a manager, Tom Moody (William McNulty). Disenchantment and fatality, needless to say, are just around the corner.
Changing the color of Joe's skin from the white in Odets's original version was what made ''Golden Boy'' a noisy succès de scandale in its pre-Broadway tour, especially since Lorna was white. It also gave new barbed resonance to the word boy in the title and allowed the show's creators to work in some references to unspecified but momentous things happening in Alabama. But a lot of the hoary Odets-style lyricism remained. (Lorna, when accused by Tom of drinking too much: ''There's a lump I drink to dissolve. D'ya mind?'')
The top-flight cast members assembled for this production play even the hokiest moments clean and straight. And whenever the music starts up, something wonderful nearly always happens, with Rob Fisher's Coffee Club Orchestra in exquisite form: from the all-percussion introduction (to which a corps de ballet of boxers in training set their rhythms) to an 11 o'clock call-and-response anthem of independence sung by Joe and a gospel choir.
It's easy to imagine the emotion-wringing flourishes and glossy technique Davis must have brought to the part. But his ghost doesn't haunt this production because Mr. Ribeiro brings such sterling, unadorned conviction to his role. Best known on Broadway as the child star of ''The Tap Dance Kid'' (1983), Mr. Ribeiro still has a youthful wistfulness in his voice, but it's now offset by a manly centeredness.
He avoids the obvious temptations to embellish, instead hitting each note as if it were a bull's eye in a clear, firm voice. Whether expressing confused idealism (''Night Song'') or white-man-baiting cockiness (''Colorful''), this style brings out a probing sincerity in the melodies that a showier approach would disguise.
Ms. Barzee, too, has a pure-lined, heartfelt way with a song that saves a clichéd character from camp. They're both as hard and as soft as the music demands that they be, and they're terrific in their big duet, a sustained ache of longing called ''I Want to Be With You.''
The ever-mesmerizing Mr. Lewis has the perfect velvet touch for the evening's hypnotically seductive hymn to New York night life, ''While the City Sleeps,'' which Mr. Cilento has choreographed with insinuating decadence.
And there is the thorned glee of energetic, more lighthearted numbers like ''Gimme Some,'' an ode to avarice ecstatically performed by Mr. Ribeiro and the winning child actor Morgan Burke, and ''Don't Forget 127th Street,'' a sardonic catalog of the dubious pleasures of living in Harlem. The ensemble here is first-rate, as are Mr. Cilento's funk-inflected dance movements.
It's in the second act that the show's creaky old bones really jut out, and you realize that while the music of ''Golden Boy'' may be immortal, the book has already passed its shelf life. Which is precisely why ''Golden Boy'' is the perfect show for Encores! to present.
Where else can you hear such vivid renderings of a score that is seldom heard today and yet truly demands to be heard? Mr. Strouse's music is still in your head when you wake up the next morning, and you feel the urgent need to go buy a recording of ''Golden Boy.''
Musical aficionados are always looking to fall in love with an unfamiliar show; this production provides a genuinely golden opportunity to fall hard.

Creative effect chains for atmospheric scores, abstract sound design and ambient music.
Cinematic. Surrealistic, epic, visual, theatrical, filmic, poetic, artistic. The synonyms are many and all equally descriptive of the end goal with this collection of presets for EZmix 2.
The Cinematic FX EZmix Pack pushes the complex network of effects in EZmix 2 to its limit to deliver the broadest possible creative canvas for atmospheric, ambient, abstract and visceral mixing. Expect phased filters, ambient reverbs, surging echoes, and the most outrageous textures thereof, intertwined in this collection of 50 one-of-a-kind presets for any instrument, application or style imaginable.
"My vision was to build effect chains without any reference to intended instrument, leaving the end user without cognitive notion and in complete creative control. The beauty of EZmix 2 is that while the presets themselves may be complex in nature and a daunting task to engineer, using them is as far from it as you can get. For the end user, assigning a preset to an instrument or audio track literally takes a second. While I may have used a piano as sound source to create a specific texture of effects, the user who is scrolling through the finished product may may end up applying this exact one on a vocal, a drum bus or a harmony getting something completely different from what I had originally envisioned. The key here is inspiration and borderless use and I cant wait to hear what people come up with," says Mattias Eklund, Toontrack co-founder, sound designer and creative mind behind this collection.

The government has announced that it will not be investing in new gas storage facilities, stating this will save around £750m over 10 years.
It commissioned independent analysis from Redpoint, which showed the UK gas market continues to function well to meet current and future demand.
Gas storage provided just 7 per cent of total UK supply in 2012.
Current capacity allows for twice the amount of gas required in a normal winter, with no problems reported during the last winter and early spring this year.
The importance of gas storage is recognised by the government for providing flexibility within the system and helping when demand is high.
Ministers had considered whether intervening in the gas market to encourage more gas storage could improve security of supply without adding disproportionate costs to energy bills.
However, the analysis showed that the costs of intervention would far outweigh any benefit, resulting in government and consumers subsidising investment that large energy companies could pay for themselves.

However, truckers have spared other vegetables, fruits, fuel and milk from the strike.
Supplies of essential commodities were partly disrupted at most of mandis across the country on Monday, due to an indefinite, nationwide transporters' strike in protest of a sharp rise in diesel prices and insurance premiums.
Data compiled by the National Horticultural Research & Development Foundation (NHRDF) showed onion supply in the benchmark Lasalgaon mandi at 1,400 tonnes on Monday, down from 1,717 tonnes on Friday.
Supply in Pimpalgaon mandi also declined to 1,980 tonnes on Monday from 2,510.5 tonnes on Friday.
The decline in onion supply has resulted into an increase in the vegetable's price in both Lasalgaon and Pimpalgaon mandis. Model onion prices surged 55 per cent on Monday to trade at Rs 8.50 a kg on Monday in Asia's largest onion selling market yard in Lasalgaon, from Rs 5.50 a kg on Friday.
The spike in price was marginal in Pimpalgaon, closing at Rs 9 a kg on Monday from Rs 8.40 on Friday.
"Onion supply was disrupted on Monday at Lasalgaon and Pimpalgaon mandis in the Nashik district of Maharashtra due to a fewer number of trucks plying between farmland and marketyard. We would have to see how the strike pans out in coming days and impacts prices of essential commodities," said Atul Shah, director, Pimpalgaon mandi.
Meanwhile, truckers have spared other vegetables, fruits, fuel and milk from the strike.
Consequently, their supply to mandis wasn't as impacted.
Also, the premier transporters' body, All India Motor Transport Congress (AIMTC), which has a huge presence in western and southern India, has decided not to support the ongoing strike convened by ACOGOA.
"We went on strike om Monday morning. Since most of the trucks had already uploaded goods a day before and transported for offloading in mandis across the country that day, the impact of the strike was limited.
"Still, supply of goods was disrupted in Maharashtra, West Bengal, Delhi and other agrarian states. We are expecting the impact to become severe on the second and third day of the strike," said R S Bhasin, National Secretary, All India Confederation of Goods Vehicle Owners Association (ACOGOA).
Bhasin claims most transport vehicles have started staying off the road in Maharashtra, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Uttar Pradesh borders.
"The government procures nearly 85 per cent of crude oil on long-term contract basis with a fixed price for at least three months.
"However, it revises diesel prices daily. For example, in the second half of May diesel prices surged by Rs 3.40 a litre with the rise in crude oil prices.
"But, its price declines by a few paise with decline in crude oil prices globally.
"While upward price revision is immediately passed on to consumers, downward revision either lags or does not happen at all.
"This system of price revision results in a massive loss to truck owners. We therefore, want the government to revise diesel prices on quarterly basis for a long-term and sustainable business plan for truck owners," said Bhasin.
Apart from daily diesel price revision, truckers want the Rs 8-per-litre cess to be abolished, and a reduction in toll charges and premiums on third party insurance. Through diesel price hike alone, the government is getting at least Rs one billion per day, Bhasin said.
ACOGOA claims that a third of India's total fleet size of nearly nine million commercial vehicles has stopped loading goods.

Top Ways To Clean Your Kitchen Pans
Using detergents: High-quality detergents with mild-effects need to be used in this regard. Detergent solution can be poured within heated pans so that enhanced effects can be expected. Scrubbing-pads can be used for rinsing the inside parts of the pans. If you make efficient usage of this solution, then your pans can be protected well. Your pans will become new every time you use this solution for cleaning.
Sprinkling baking–soda:
Sprinkling baking-soda can be one of the most effective means that can help you to get an easy cleaning of your pans. Wastes will become softened and after some time they will be loosened. Loose bits can be easily thrown way and cleaning can be completed quickly. Baking-soda should be kept for at least six to eight hours so that the process of cleaning can be accelerated. Metal-edges can be easily cleaned by applying this specialized technique. On the other hand, a completely hygienic ambience can be maintained by using baking-soda.
Using coca–cola:
Coca-cola drink should be poured within dirty pans and then they need to be put over the stove for simmering purpose. The acidic components of this drink will easily take-off the burns and other stubborn wastes from your pans as a result of which your pans will get cleaned conveniently and easily. Soapy-solutions can be used after the drink is being drained-away so that effective cleaning can be ensured.

Many men out there have lost their way. They may be working hard, but their depth remains unpenetrated, their gift ungiven. They may have success with women, but constantly flit from fling to fling, with tears, distress and the pains of narcissism in their wake.
Or perhaps they have realised the power and import of intimate relationship, but are unable to navigate the constant emotional eddies and currents that seem to come with a woman. They have yet to recognise and touch their true power and freedom – they have yet to know themselves the master of purpose and polarity.
If you struggling to keep the attraction of your intimate relationship alive, waking up next to your lover can leave you feeling full of dread.
Without a clear and consciously chosen life purpose, for yourself and your intimate relationship, and without the knowledge and ability to play the polarity of masculine and feminine sexual dynamics, your life and relationship are in trouble.
Degrading into nights on the sofa.
A sensation of being stuck.
With a quiet and palpable sense of dis-ease creeping in on you. Perhaps jealousy, emotional volatility and closure threaten your sense of freedom and depth of your woman's love. It is easy to feel your relationship with life isn't give you what you want. Yet to do so, is to deny our power as creators of our lives.
Your partners blue and down-hearted face is an invitation and a challenge. Her raging and leaving you at a loss is one of the greatest gifts she can give you.
These problems are the ones that Christie has learned to master and solve for modern men. He's lived them all himself and has helped hundreds of men take up the reigns in their work, their art, with their women and their sexing.
Such challenges are an invitation to source yourself in depth, to rise and wrestle with her mood, and the world, with your love unimpeded, free, your true self and purpose wielded as a sword against the darkness, and your force of love as a beacon in the dark, a lightning bolt of clarity and energy.
Through working with Christie, you will begin to feel deep ease, energy, and limitlessness within. Passion and direction, humour and potency will begin to characterise your days.
The abiding knowledge of yourself as co-creator and master of your soul, the worshipful love and devotion of a woman who will give you more pour love and light on your world and make a paradise of your home. You will be giving her what she really wants. Your fullest self, lead by the eternity of your heart, deep in your sense of integrity and inner knowing. Full of the strength and full spectrum of your desires, dark to light. Strong, sensitive, humorous and deep in wisdom.
I'm here to empower you to live as just such a force. To align your life with the full force of purpose and to learn the secrets and bliss of true polarity. This work opens the way to the power within you. This way brings not only vast freedom but, because you are free, you can serve both the world and your women from the place they yearn to feel you move from. Your deepest truth. Your fullest extent of power – integrity – the fearless gifting of yourself to the world.
This is my purpose.
Join me if you want to experience your life unfolding as freedom. If you want to feel your own raw power and experience vitality coursing into your life.
Together we will discover the course which truly sets you free. And do whatever is necessary for you to realise that you already are the freedom you seek.
No less. No more.
You decide.

Our weekly challenges have helped me to concentrate on what really needed doing in order to become who've I've become now. The greatest struggle that Christie helped me with was getting in touch with the power of my emotions.
Exposing myself from the heart. Being vulnerable by making my own way. I found a way to embrace this side of myself and use it as fuel. Which has inspired me to be authentic, bold and confident in my actions. I've been breaking through obstacles I am presented with every damn day since.
I am deeply grateful that our paths crossed.
Strength and courage."
– Rokas
Adventure Film Maker & Documentary Photographer.
Having worked with Christie for just over half a year the results have been transformational. He's always authenic. Both structured, spontaneous and willing to adapt. He strikes a perfect balance, for me, between accountability and flexibility.
Christie has been instrumental in helping me move forward in ending a stagnant relationship and has also made me see and be accountable for the areas where I have been lazy and not showing up my life. I am far more solid and am not so easily led and affected by my emotions and the feminine. He is truly a gifted guide and a good friend."
– Bernard
Founder of Chi Academy
Christie is an example of a man who is truly alive, living at his edge, continuously challenging his zone of comfort, while at the same time light-heartedly honoring his humanness. He is a deeply trustworthy mentor, whose presence and deep knowledge has amplified my personal growth in numerous ways.
Drawing from his deep knowledge and experience in psychology, spirituality, mythology and poetry, he shares wisdom in a truly empowering creative way, while being supportive and available. at every step of the way.
Together we have talked about my relationship with the masculine and feminine both internally as my own energy as well as externally in the form of my father, friends and women. Our time together has been a continuous reminder of accepting the entirety of my being, both the light and the dark, while continuing to gracefully challenge my current limitations.
I'm deeply grateful for Christie's guidance and would encourage everyone who is interested in living into one's human potential to work with Christie.

As I get older, the more aware I am of what companies and corporations are doing for others. It's really awesome to see people giving back in fun ways and that's exactly what TOMS is doing.
Many of you guys don't know, but I got my Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology. Mental health has always been important and very interesting to me. As a personal trainer its easy to only focus on our physical strength, but what's more important and unfortunately less talked about- is our mental health. We are all okay with talking about visiting gyms, or doctors for physical work/checkups.. but for some reason the second we start talking about therapy, or counseling to work on our mental health it becomes taboo.
I was lucky enough to partner with TOMS on their Stand For Tomorrow campaign. TOMS is taking ten dollars of every purchase and letting YOU decide which cause to donate it to (so awesome.) The causes to choose from are: ending gun violence, equality, the homeless, mental health, safe water and women's rights. Visit their website and use promo code STANDFOR10 for 10$ off your purchase!
I hope you guys with stand with me, and stand with TOMS as we #standfortomorrow

The IPES Museum Learning Project prototype is developing substantially since the last update. We are currently improving the prototype tabletop display to explore ways to make a great interactive exhibit. We are in the process of improving lag issues and building features such as gestures and aesthetic structures to engage the user. Continuing to use the observations collected at the Oregon Hatfield Marine Science Center, we've begun to define gestures that would be tested by users, such as tapping, zooming, pinching, and rotating. By adding customizable gestures, this prototype will serve as a rapid prototyping platform for trying out new interface designs. In adding new features and gestures to the prototype, it can allow for a more in-depth experience by the user and can allow for a greater analysis of the ways in which people interact with this exhibit.
I am a 2nd year Computer Science student at the University of Florida. With this new side of the project, I am getting hands on experience working with a tabletop display and programming new features on the interface, while keeping in mind the ways that users will need or want to interact with the display. It has been a great experience so far, and I am excited to continue building my skills in this aspect.

If you're interested in India you've probably been there. Looking through the list of flights to Delhi and Mumbai, maybe the odd Goa or Cochin in there for you lovers of lazy backwater days, and up pop some unfamiliar names.
These flights are often cheaper than those to the bigger hubs and we all love a good deal – we're travelling to India after all. So are they worth a visit? We decided to investigate and found more diversity, history and natural wonders than we'd bargained for….
The beach at Chennai
Alternative Indian Destinations
Madras (Chennai)
So where is it?
Known by most nowadays as Chennai (it still appears on most flight search results as Madras, it's an airport code thing), the city sits on the south east coast of India, just north of Pondicherry. Yes we said coast so that means….
What should I see?
…beaches! Marina is one of the longest urban beaches in the world and with 13km of sand you're bound to be able to find a spot to yourself. The current here is too strong for swimming but it's great for catching some rays during the day, watching amazing sunsets and after dark for entertainment and great street food.
If beaches ain't your thing there are some great temples to visit – particularly the Kapaleeshwarar Temple which is almost 1500 years old and a riot of colour. If you're a fan of history then be sure to pay a visit to Fort St George which was the first British fortress in India.
Kapaleeshwarar Temple
Anything good nearby?
Yelagiri is a small hill station about 4 hours from the city which has beautiful views and a number of trekking trails. Tirupati is another great shout in this region. About 3 hours by road from Chennai and a major pilgrimage point it's famous for the Tirumala Venkateswara Temple – a massive and beautiful complex visited by 75,000 people A DAY!
So where is it?
North West in the state of Gujarat south of Rajasthan.
What should I see?
There's so much history here it's hard to know where to start! For amazing buildings you've got the beautiful Sidi Saiyyed Mosque, the tranquil Adalaj Step Well and the genuinely striking Hutheesing Jain Temple among many others. For a sense of India's more modern history you can visit the Sabarmati Ashram where Mahatma Gandhi lived for 12 years of his life.
Hutheesing Jain Temple
If you need a bit of down time from the city, Kankaria Lake in the south is surrounded by parks and even has a water and light show in the evening.
Anything good nearby?
The Wild Ass Sanctuary. Because how could we not.
Bangalore (Bengaluru)
So Where is it?
In the south of the peninsular – inland between Goa and Kerala.
What should I see?
Although it doesn't meet the architectural might of Ahmedabad, there are still some sites worth seeing here including Bangalore Palace (actually a collage opened in 1944 bit still), the massive and modern ISKCON temple and Ragigudda Anjaneya Temple. Be sure to also to take a wander around the colourful neighbourhood of Malleswaram for a taste of daily life in the city.
Food-wise you can't beet a stop at the Mavalli Tiffin Rooms (MTR to the initiated) for an amazing spread of South Indian dishes. Bangalore also has its own brew pup named Toit where you can escape the heat of the city with a nice cold pint.
Anything good nearby?
The countryside around Bengaluru is great for trekking and lots of local companies offer hiking and caving expeditions for the active. A bike tour is a great way to discover hidden gems and burn off all that amazing Dosa.
So Where is it?
In the centre of the southern section of the peninsular and almost as far away from the sea as you can get in this part of India.
The Charminar
What should I see?
Hyderabad has historically been a cultural hub where the mix of populations from both the north and south have produced an eclectic mix of food, fashion and art. The massive Charminar is a symbol of the city and acts as both a monument and mosque. For another side to the history of the region be sure to travel the 11km to the ruined fort city of Golconda which looks over Hyderabad from the surrounding hills.
If you're a but historied out (we've all been there) then head to the Laad Bazaar for a fantastic shopping experience. Though probably give is a miss if you're not that in to beads…
Anything good nearby?
It's actually a suburb of the city but Moula Ali Dargah is great to escape the heat of downtown and also boasts great views.
So there you have it! Whether you're passing through these major transport hubs on your way to somewhere a little more well known on the traveller trail, or you're looking for something a little different from your Indian adventure, never pass up the chance to explore. With 30,000 years of history (give or take) and a population over 1.2 billion people, there's no such thing as "just" a dot on the map.

The U.S. Senate Commerce Committee will hold a hearing Sept. 26 with representatives from tech companies and telecommunication firms to discuss their privacy practices, The Wall Street Journal reports. Facebook, Google, Twitter, Amazon and Apple, as well as AT&T and Charter Communications, will send privacy executives to speak in front of the committee, with lawmakers expected to ask the companies about using consumer data to sell advertisements and other products, and the ways they use sensitive information such as location data. "Americans are struggling to understand what's being collected and how it's used," said Committee Chairman Sen. John Thune, R-S.D. "We're holding this hearing to help inform consumers and to determine where the federal government may need to assert itself." (Registration may be required to access this story.)

We're sure you have questions, most people do! Have a question that's not listed below? Call us anytime!Ask Us A QuestionCall Us Now
[vc_row row_type="row" use_row_as_full_screen_section="no" type="grid" angled_section="no" text_align="left" background_image_as_pattern="without_pattern" padding_top="50″ css_animation=""][vc_column width="2/3″][vc_column_text]
[/vc_column_text][vc_separator type="small" position="left" up="7″ down="38″][vc_separator type="transparent" up="7″ down="0″][vc_accordion style="accordion"][vc_accordion_tab title="Are You Listing My House Or Selling It?"][vc_column_text]
We are professional home buyers who buy houses in cash for a small discount. We buy houses in Southern California and around the nation that meet our criteria. From there we either repair and resell the house, resell it to another home owner, or keep it as a rental to add to our portfolio. So, we're not agents, and we don't list houses… we just buy them!
[/vc_column_text][/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title="Are There Fees & Commissions To Work With You?"][vc_column_text]This is why people love working with us and make our process different from the traditional method of selling your house. We never charge you a fee or commission when you sell your house to us. We'll make you an offer and if it makes sense for you we'll buy your house. We might even pay closing costs.
So how do we make our money? Once we pay for repairs we'll resell the house and hopefully make a profit. Most of the time we do, and sometimes we don't… but that risk is on us. Once we buy the house the responsibility is ours! You walk away from the burden of the property and its payments. No Hassle. No Fees.[/vc_column_text][/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title="Do You Pay Fair Prices?"][vc_column_text]We are real estate investors who are looking to buy homes at a FAIR discount, so many of the properties we purchase are below market value. We do this so we can make a profit once we resell it to another home owner. Most people do business with us because we buy the property in cash which allows us to close quickly and also saves them time & money in repairs & realtor fees.
So if you see the value in getting your house sold fast, lets see if we can find a win-win for both of us… but ultimately, you'll be the one who determines if our offer is fair or not. You're under no obligation to accept our offer, but it's always good to know what we're offering. [/vc_column_text][/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title="HOW DO YOU DETERMINE YOUR OFFER PRICE?"][vc_column_text]
Our process is very straightforward and we're an open book. We look at four major factors: Location, Current Condition, Needed Repairs, and Comparable Values in the area. Once we evaluate those factors, and any other information relevant to the property, we come up with a fair price that works for you & us.
[/vc_column_text][/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title="Whats the difference between you & a realtor?"][vc_column_text]REAL ESTATE AGENTS- List properties hoping someone will buy them. To assist in the efforts they show the property to potential buyers and help in the closing process. They make a percentage of the sale, usually 3-6% of the purchase price, if they find a buyer. So if your home sells for $100,000 the commissions will be $3,000 – $6,000 dollars. This is a great service if you have don't mind giving up the commissions and waiting 4-8 months to sell your property.
LMJ Solutions, LLC- We don't list your house or show your house, we actually buy your house. We're not agents we're home buyers. We buy homes in cash and will make you a cash offer within a day or two of you contacting us… sometimes the same day. We don't make our living off commissions, we make our living by getting good cash deals, repairing the homes, and selling the home ourselves afterward for a profit. [/vc_column_text][/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title="Is there any obligation?"][vc_column_text]
This needs to be a win-win! There is absolutely NO OBLIGATION. We won't hassle you, we won't call you every day, it's 100% your decision. Once you tell us about the property we'll evaluate it, maybe call to ask a few questions & come see the house, and make you a cash offer. If it's right for you, great. If not, we totally respect that.
[/vc_column_text][/vc_accordion_tab][/vc_accordion][/vc_column][vc_column width="1/3″ css=".vc_custom_1442936044176{background-image: url(http://idealweb.co/demo/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/parallax2.jpg?id=15564) !important;}"]

Every coconut contains a layer of meat, around a pint of water, and a tiny seed the size of a pearl. After almost 6 months in the tree, the coconut will drop to the ground. After a few more months, the seed fills the coconut and starts consuming the meat. The meat becomes a thin crispy layer. This creates a big spongy cotton candy mass that is sweet and juicy.

Good-eve! So as requested by MANY of you, here's an update of my "What's on my iPhone 5″ and also my iPhone 5 case collection. All the cases I showed in the video are linked (majority of them) in the video's description box and my iPhone's wallpaper is linked as well (for I always get questions about it). Any who, I hope you enjoy this video -I apologize for it being so long. xoxo
On a side note, what do you guys think of the new design on my blog? (Yes I made this lol) I wanted something very simple and clean but I still wanted it to look girly. And instead of pink, I went with "peachy" colors lol. I'm quite happy with how things turned out but I'm probably going to be changing and adding some new things within this week though 😉 Just to improve it some more. Then I promise I'm done and it'll stay like this until hopefully next year or something haha.

Donald Trump is one of the biggest promoters of abstinence as our government's singular sexual education policy in recent history. If you think about the history of Donald Trump in regards to his own approach to abstinence (namely his proud disdain for it) we could really just stop the discussion right there, laugh, cry, and wonder how we can possibly keep our sanity till 2020. But, why not make fun of him some more?
Donald's Department Of Health And Human Services has been attempting to very-low-key promote an astonishingly anti-science, religiously-pandering, public health agenda when it comes to sex education, especially among young people. Last year, he ended grants that helped fund teen pregnancy prevention programs ahead of schedule, and of course they have no plans to renew them — mainly because they were based on medical science and because they worked.
Instead, Donald and the infinite wisdom of people who read nothing but the Bible have been looting the funds from public sex-ed policy that has enjoyed a proven track record of successful results and they're moving those dollars into programs that focus on one thing — the "Abstinence Only" approach.
In an echo of the failed Reagan administration's "Just Say No" approach to possibly the only thing more enticing than drugs — namely having sex — Donald and his controllers are expanding the scope of neo-Puritanism to overlap adults as well as teens. The administration is set to shift Title X funds away from family planning services that primarily help poor and vulnerable adult women get contraception. Their goal is to do the same thing, and use it to create adult abstinence programs that instead will lecture these women about how they shouldn't be having sex unless they're married. This doesn't address the problem of unwanted pregnancies after marriage, considering vast numbers of poor single women are still poor after marriage and still can't afford to have children.
Where Donald takes this to an unprecedented level, though, is in the fact that he's pandering this bullshit to the actual United Nations. Buzzfeed reported that administration officials were severely preoccupied with pushing other nations into adopting an abstinence only sex-ed policy in their public health systems at a closed-door UN conference on women's empowerment, while declaring America a "pro life nation." The move left fellow nations' delegates in attendance at a loss for words. This is one of those times when you're glad that the UN doesn't actually have a lot of force in dictating the policies of individual nations. Member states can just ignore our crazy uncle Donald and let him talk to the potted plants about abstinence, while the adults in the room come up with some actual good ideas.

I don't often delve into poetry much anymore, especially not of the rhyming type (review the previous post, Reason in Rhyme, for reasons) but I did delve a little the other night, and I thought I would share my very elongated haiku-type poetry form with everyone. Since I am currently relatively one handed (tendonitis flare up in my wrist – can't hold anything, can kind of type, can't wash my own face without pain…) I thought I'd post some previous material. Enjoy!
My heart seeks the dark
Of your womb, Great Mother of Earth
Searching for comfort
Amidst the lonely
And those who have never known
The pains of love lost
For we have been took
From the comfort of your love
Thrust into new hands
To guard and to give
Beyond our most inner selves
To that which is you
You are our lady
The one to whom we bow first
And foremost, we love.
And we are your priests
Sworn to honor and hold true
Meanings of your ways
And so we sit, lost
In a world which is too bright
For our infant eyes
Struggling to see through
The glory and mystery
Of your sacred path
Great mother, bless us
For what we do, is for you
Above all, we live
And we seek not but
The love you have promised us
On our sabbat days
Give, and then receive
Such is the cycle of life
Of which we are part
Glory, goddess, you
Are our light and our darkness
Ever sworn to be
My lord and lady,
Accept these gifts of our love
From our hearts to yours

In the current economic climate, people are always looking for ways to get the best value for money that they can. Wanting to reduce Bath taxi insurance premiums is a common desire, and luckily it can be easier than you think.
If you want to reduce your premiums for taxi insurance Bath, one of the first things you need to do shop around. Never renew your policy without seeing what else is on offer, as although this may seem the easiest way it's certainly not going to reduce your premiums. Compare a few quotes to see if you can find a better offer, and if you can start haggling.
Haggling will be a great way to reduce your Bath taxi insurance premiums as companies will be competing for your business. If you find a cheaper quote elsewhere take it to your current insurer and see if they can beat it. If they can you get reduced premiums on your current policy, and if they can't simply go for the alternative offer.
Another thing you might want to try is altering your excess. If you think you can afford to, raising your level of excess is sure to reduce your premiums, but just make sure that you'll be able to pay that amount in the event of a claim. Be realistic, as if you can't afford the excess you'll end up being worse off than if you simply paid higher premiums.
Then you could try cutting down the extras that are included in your Bath taxi insurance policy. A lot of these will be essential to consider, such as breakdown assistance and replacement car cover so you're not off the road and losing income after an accident at The Circus, but with others you might want to be more selective.
These are just a few simple things you can do to reduce your Bath taxi insurance premiums, and if you think you're paying too much it might be worth trying them out.

Would this initiative work or be of any benefit to Dartford? – Litterbugs and irresponsible dog owners face on-the-spot £75 fines from next week in Gravesend as the council's Team G initiative moves into a new phase. Gravesham Borough Council has hired enforcement contractor Kingdom to tackle litter and dog fouling across the borough for a 12-month trial. Anyone caught littering or allowing their dog to foul public places will be issued with a penalty notice. The council is the fourth local authority in Kent to use the company. Their experience has led to cleaner streets. Last year the council launched its Team G initiative to clean up and maintain Gravesend town centre and intends to roll it out across the borough. Uniformed Kingdom operators will be equipped with body-worn CCTV cameras. Anyone caught committing an offence will get a £75 fine on the spot. The income from fines will pay for the service. Any surplus will go towards other anti-litter and environmental improvement schemes. More information from gravesham.gov.uk

If you love fresh, sweet and floral scents, then spring is an ideal time to seek out a new favourite, or signature fragrance. At no other time in the year do you get such an abundance of scents that have zesty fruits, flowers or light musks at the heart of their fragrance. With this in mind, we have selected some of what we think will be the bestsellers of spring's new Fragrances releases:
Roberto Cavalli's Acqua Eau de Toilette fragrance
Captured in a beautiful turquoise bottle that reminds us of a still Mediterranean sea, Roberto Cavalli's Acqua Eau de Toilette is a light, fresh scent, said to be inspired by 'the eternal allure of the and the irresistible sensuality of the Roberto Cavalli woman'. Top notes of fresh jasmine with lily of the valley help to lighten the orange flower heart, leaving a trace of base notes of musk on the skin. Available in 30ml – £32, 50ml – £44 and 75ml – £58. From Debenhams.
See By Chloé fragrance
The very first fragrance from See By Chloé, it is said to 'capture the irresistible and playful personality of a young woman fully embracing life.' Another fresh scent, full of citrus bergamot and apple blossom, the middle notes of jasmine add depth with satisfying base notes of sandalwood and vanilla. Available in 30ml – £39, 50ml – £49 and 75ml – £64. From Debenhams.
Jimmy Choo Flash fragrance
You can always rely on Jimmy Choo to add a little glamour to your life, and Flash is exactly that. Described as 'Intoxicating and dangerously sexy, the scent parades on a catwalk of addictive Powdery Woods', it sparks off with top notes of pink pepper, tangerine and strawberry, middle notes feature dusky tuberose, jasmine and white lily and the whole scent rests on base notes of heliotrope and blond wood. Available in 40ml – £36, 60ml – £46 and 100ml – £62. From Debenhams.
Burberry Body Tender fragrance
Burberry is one of my favourite smells, it is crisp and unique and I always get compliments when I wear it, so I look out for new fragrances from them. If you love fresh citrus scents then try out Body Tender, it opens with surges of lemon, crisp apple and green absinthe, then middle notes compliment with English rose, white jasmine and it finishes with a beautiful soft base of cashmeran, amber and musk. Available in 60ml – £49. From The Fragrance Shop.
Marc Jacobs Sunshine Editions fragrances
Lovers of Marc Jacobs perfumes will be pleased to know that a limited edition of signature scents – Sunshine Editions is now available.
Daisy Sunshine Edition bursts with ripe and juicy red fruits. With heart notes of vivid spring blossoms and soft lychee, it finishes off with a velvety base of blushing apricot skin and musky woods. Available in 50ml – £45.
Daisy Eau So Fresh Sunshine Edition starts off with ruby-red grapefruit, raspberry, green leaves, pear, violet, with middle tones of lychee, apple blossom, rose, and finishes with musky jasmine with woody notes of cedar. Available in 75ml – £48.
Finally, Oh, Lola! Sunsheer Edition is a fruity floral, and a lighter, fresher interpretation of the original. You get sparkling raspberry with a pink heart of lush peonies and base notes of sensual vanilla. In 50ml – £47.

In most restaurants and pubs, there will most likely be one or two vegetarian options for those who don't fancy the abundance of carnivorous choice on offer. The key word here is "option". Vegetarian food is given a rather lacklustre status in the world of food, with many establishments serving up veggie dishes just because they have to, that are as tasteless as they are devoid of imagination. However, London has been at the forefront of a meat-free culinary evolution, with lots of exciting places popping up specialising in vegetarian fare. So, why has this happened and how can we get a slice of the action? You have the questions, we have the answers.
You always hear people say that they probably would eat more vegetarian food if more was on offer. But then it emerges that they actually don't know of any good places to get vegetarian food, and if they did those places would probably not be as conveniently located as the local pub. The ironic thing is most people have healthy restaurants right under their noses, or more accurately, at their fingertips. Wherever you are, you can get vegetarian food delivered to you by services like Deliveroo, which means you don't need to travel far to have your next veggie meal. So those who complain about convenience – think again.
So, how come the sudden change of heart in a land so whole-heartedly devoted to meat? Well, one fairly straightforward answer is that more people have adopted a vegetarian and vegan lifestyle. More resources have been put towards researching and educating the public about health and nutrition, which has naturally affected the way people choose to live. A study from January 2018 shows that 1 in 4 Britons eats vegetarian or vegan meals for dinner, something that also explains the rise and popularity of lifestyle movements like Veganuary. If people start to eat more like this at home, chances are the restaurant industry won't like to be left outside in the cold.
Let's turn then to London. The city has definitely had their teeth buried in a meat-loving past for a long time, probably due to the ingrained cultural notion of having meat as your main source of protein with some over-boiled vegetables on the side. However, the amazing multicultural society that has flourished in London means the food scene reflects other culinary cultures: cultures where vegetarian food is more of a staple. These have in turn influenced British chefs to focus more on seasonal plant-based produce, to cater for the growing demand for veggie food.
This evolution has come about due to a combination of factors, involving better knowledge about health and nutrition, more convenient ways to get the food you want, and the multicultural London scene. Together they have formed a movement that has sprung up in forms of exciting food trucks, supper clubs, as well as changes to traditional restaurant menus. It's about time we bite the carrot-shaped bullet and eat our greens.

Add an Olive Oil Dispenser to Your Countertop
If olive oil is a must-have ingredient in your kitchen, you need a convenient spot to store your favorite olive oil. Williams Sonoma's collection of olive oil dispensers includes an array of styles, allowing you to pour or evenly spray olive oil on your favorite foods. Explore different varieties in this collection to discover a convenient style to add to your kitchen tools.
Cruets and Pourers
Ditch your olive oil's original packaging and replace it with a versatile oil dispenser that's as decorative as it is functional. As a result, these bottles are ideal for displaying on your countertop, perhaps placed beside your utensil holder. An olive oil pourer comes in several constructions, with each style delivering the convenience of quick and easy access to olive oil when you're cooking. Consider a stainless steel variety, which is especially durable. Its opaque design protects the olive oil from light that can affect the flavor of the oil, thus retaining the rich flavor and antioxidant boost of your olive oil of choice.
Another type of olive oil container is a cruet, crafted of hand-blown clear glass and accented with a stainless steel pourer. You can also find hand-glazed porcelain varieties, featuring embossed details for a vintage French flair. The nonporous porcelain is hygienic and resists chipping, making it a durable choice for your kitchen. You can even find a coordinating oil and vinegar cruet set built with high-fired stoneware and finished with a porcelain-enamel glaze for added durability.
Dispensers and Strainers
Another way to dispense your oil bottle for cooking is by using a funnel and strainer. A durable stainless steel funnel has a built-in, removable strainer that allows you to use this versatile kitchen tool for your olive oil, as well as sauces, soups and much more.
If you want to use olive oil sparingly, consider filling a sprayer with the contents of your olive oil bottle. This way, you can lightly spray your favorite foods with olive oil without saturating them. As a result, this tool is perfect for preparing roasted vegetables or lightly greasing a pan in preparation for cooking. This oil bottle comes in both stainless steel and BPA-free plastic varieties. Plus, their non-aerosol style makes these sprayers an environmentally-friendly choice.
Olive oil is a versatile ingredient in your kitchen. Use it as a healthier alternative for greasing your pan or spritzing your vegetables before cooking. However you use it, you want a convenient way to store olive oil, making it accessible and retaining its freshness and flavor. Select an olive oil dispenser from this Williams Sonoma collection and use it in conjunction with other kitchen tools like garlic and herb tools.
