Vessel Hightlights:
- Code Zero- Is a very large cross between a genoa and an asymmetrical spinnaker that is used for sailing close to the wind in very light air. It is a tight reaching sail, the most downwind capable of the asymmetrics. The luff is as straight as possible, and the sail is flatter than other spinnakers. Due to the flatness of the code 0, it is usually made with a wire luff for strength, and of a heavier, less stretchy fabric than normal for a spinnaker. Due to the tight luff and flat cut, the Code Zero can be fitted for roller furling. Being made of much lighter weight material, the foot of a Code Zero can be almost the same length as the boat, and will fill in the faintest of zephyrs. These sails are a must for distance races, like the Volvo Ocean Race as shown on Puma Racing below.
- Stack Pack- is a popular adaptation of a standard mainsail cover that is used in conjunction with lazy jacks to make dousing and covering a mainsail quick and easy.
- Fully battened Mainsail with strong sail track system, two reefing points, and both headsails on roller furlers, all of which can be controlled from the cockpit. This set up makes this vessel a single handed sailors dream.
- Just bottom painted with all 7 thru hulls replaced while on the hard.
- Heart Interface Inverter
- Solar power
- Large House battery bank comprised of 4D AGM batteries.

16s Drill:
-Practiced one full run-through of the 16s Drill.
Koneri Swap (can't remember the official name for this one):
-Practiced and improved our first Koneri Swap
-Established a practice structure for following the whole Oroshi part and
allowing for smooth switches between Komelleros.
-Started to get a feel for focusing on both Oroshi leader and Komellero for
timing of Oroshi.
-Established Oroshi would end with Komellero/a's knee touching the ground.
Koneri Groove:
-Set a practice structure for practicing the groove; every other player
plays the koneri beat then in the next run it switches.
16s and Swap both took about 10 minutes each, so 20 minutes for all
person's present then (crud, I left my attendance sheet at home).
20 min. for Oroshi
40/45 min. for Koneri Groove (we used individual time for additional group
practice); Kaitlyn also left about 10 min. in, and Andrew about 5 min.

Hello! Friends
It's New Day! Let me ask you this question: Does Half Effort Produce Half Result? Thinking? Write your answer somewhere and at the end of this short motivational talk, you will definitely find the answer to this small but mighty question above.
We all have a mind to accomplish something in life but I will want you to think like a stone cutter. In case you are not opportune to witness when stone cutters are in operation, they usually hammer stones many times, in fact, they can hammer 100 times without a crack showing on the stone and the number 102nd of hammering might blow and split the stone into two and base on the reality of life, the 102nd times of hammering is not the one that did the blow but all that had gone before. The bottom line here is that everything in life requires persistence. How do you want to finish first if you have not finished first? The statement look somehow?
Are you thinking stubbornness is the same as persistence? Do you think if you continue in what you are doing people we say you are stubborn? See this is one clear factor that separate stubbornness from persistence…
If you have a strong will and you follow it, I tag it as to give persistent when you have a strong won't then I tag it has been stubborn. The moment you know how long it will take you to succeed and you work towards it, you will definitely succeed.
Look at a student that knows he or she has three years to spend in school to obtain bachelor degree but follow the mind of I will not study, he or she already plan to fail.
A project manager that has two years to perform and deliver try to look at 24 months is much and instead to follow the lay down plan to accomplish his goal and deliver successfully he relent and at the late hour he picks up the project… Succeeding is never half done… The master key as a successful man is never let down nor let up. Diligence is the sole of a successful business.
Fact About Persistence
1. Its the result of a strong will
2. Its never let down nor let up
3. Its most times hang on one-minute longer
4. Persistence people never lose the game but always run out of time
5. They believe not in final scores makes a splendid start
6. They believe half effort produces no results
I can continue to mention it on and on, we just need to make life worth living because finding it worth living most times is impossible because of the situation around us. Many of us have a wonderful beginning to start a project but to keep going is we the problem lies. When you stumble on something that weighs you down, you quit? Or you relax and say I don't think I can continue.
There is a saying Winston Churchill declared which says: The nose of the bulldog is slanted backward so he can continue to breathe without letting go. The only thing that stays when all things fail is persistence yet is a bitter plant but I must say it is the sweetest fruit at the end
Are you thinking you are exhausted, friends you need one thing…. Persistence Is The Quality You Need. Your success is sure if you don't stop nor quit. Half effort will always produced no result.
Thank you and have a good day.

I am a British born, living in Canada since May of 1989. My blog is about all aspects of my daily life.

It can only happen to us!!!! and a couple of questions
well Molly continues to be a joy, BUT.........would you believe she has allergies!! I know what you're saying, she'll fit right in, in this house. She started chewing her paws when we brought her home on Saturday, Maxine our black lab did the same thing and was allergic to ragweed. Now ragweed allergies don't normally start until August 15th, so not sure what is going on with Molly.
So I take her to the vet on Tuesday for a meet and greet, and to get some allergy pills. He's not sure what is going on with her eating her paws, but gave me the pills. The problem with these pills though is that for four days she is on a high dosage, which makes her pee like a trooper. That brings me to another issue, Molly cannot go through the night without being let out for a pee and a poop!!!
I swear it's like having a baby in the house. Plus she tends to chew her paws through the night, and as she is sleeping in our bedroom, both me and dh are walking around bleary eyed...LOL Also as Molly sticks to us like glue, there will be no way she will sleep anywhere else.
So of course the vet says we need to check her for heartworm, and I should make sure she doesn't get fleas, so she should take Advantage for that. Here is a breakdown of the bill:
Office Visit - $55
60 Allergy Pills - $40.80
Heartworm test - $32
Advantage Medication - $94.72
GST (tax) $11.13
For a total of $233.65
I need to research this more for next year, as I am sure I can get the Heartworm/Flea control medication cheaper, and I used to give Maxine Benadryl for her allergies, but she was 100lbs in weight, and as Molly is less than 40lbs I don't know if I can give her Benadryl?
Also there is a cat wandering around outside. I have seen it on our property a couple of times now. It spends a lot of time wandering around the raspberry patch. What should I do to encourage it to hang about our place? I don't want to have a cat in the house, but don't mind having one outside. Also as it is freezing cold in winter here what happens to them in winter?

Yikes! I hate those unexpected expenses, but at least you've got it figured out.
For the cat, he'll stick around if you leave a bowl of cat food outside. For winter, he should be fine as long as there is somewhere he can seek shelter. We've had outdoor cats through the winter and they slept in our shed. They came inside when it dropped below about -5C, but they were outside otherwise.
I've tagged you. If you go to my 100 miles blog, you'll see what it's about.

The cat probably has a home and is a wonderer....after mice no doubt, or song birds.
I have to give our dog piriton...do you have that there? he is a small dog and it is fine. He is allergic to dust mites (!!)
I think you will have to put Molly in another room with her bed and just put up with her howling for a few nights, like a puppy. Dogs are pack animals and she wants company, but you have to be opack leader adn be boss.
As for toiletting in the night, if she has been in a kennel in a run then she has has access to a loo all night and just needs training, like a puppy. It isn't that she cant, it is just that she has not needed to go through the night and may not have been trained before if she was used for breeding.
All of this takes time...it is like having a baby...cept you cant get babysitters lol
You dont know her past and you may be the first nice people she has come across...so be pack leader and train, with kindness but firmness. I use clicker training and it is brilliant..very easy.
Good luck

Is there a children's benadryl? Try that on Molly.
Don't have a clue about cats, sorry.
Have a lovely day

just don't let the outdoor cat in the house or BANG up goes your vet bills a bit more.
we just got a dog and the vet wants $600 plus for teeth cleaning!!
fingers crossed molly breaks her through the night habit.

yes, some of the meds are available on-line. i see commercials here in the u.s. for them all the time and touting that why pay x-amount when you can get the same things for x-amount.
our little kit goes in next month for spaying and lasering her front claws...bill will be $250.00. as much as i like her she is a very defiant and stubborn one. stands right in your face and defies you. never have had a cat like that ^..^
she is fierce ^..^
have a wonderful day.

Vet bills are atrocious no matter where you live!
The dosing of benadryl is about 1 to 2 mg per pound every 8 hours for dogs and cats. You could low dose this and give a 25mg caplet every 8 hours to see if it's enough to curb the symptoms without making the dog too drowsy. Give here 50mg at bedtime and see if she sleeps through the night. If she doesn't, you can take it and see if you do!

Start sitting a little food out, the cat will soon be hanging around. Our daughter has a small little house, looks like a dogs house, but smaller and has a small round opening for the cat to get in and out of. Pine chips to sleep on. The house also has a removable roof, (very heavy) that can be removed to clean the house good now and then. In fact, about all five of her outdoor cats sleep in the box, their body heat helps in the winter. In the summer, they just lay around any place. And if it is raining, they leave their garage door up just far enough for the cats to get in out of the rain.
Our dog use to lick and chew their feet, especially right after the yard was mowed. We had to give her something for her allergies, not sure what it was. Get the children's dosage of Benadryl and give to Molly. Probably the liquid form would work best. Yes vets are as expensive as a doctor for humans.

We used to have "stray" cats stay with us when I was young. My dad built an insulated "dog" house for them and then put in a low watt light bulb that he turned on when it was really cold to keep the chill off of them. He did place this "dog" house inside a shed so they would have a bit more shelter. They lived there for years, keeping the mice at bay.
We did give them food and water.
Hope this helps.

Before I read your post I was wondering if my dog, Maddie, has allergies! Now that I've read your blog, I think I'll look into it.
Oh and thanks for visiting my blog. Good luck on the contest!
- August 5, 2009 at 11:17 AM
I know that Advantasge (and Revolution) are expensive - but they ARE worth it in the long run. I have 3 cats. I used to have to give each one a month, so you can see how it would add up quickly. I now only have one indoor/outdoor cat, and she gets Advantage once a month (every 6-8 weeks in the winter) and I share one caplet between the two indoors ones. I used to have an all-white cat, and you could see the flea-dirt on her, despite a collar, but after I started her on Revolution (now I use Advantage) she didn't have one more flea for the rest of her life.
I, too, came originally from England, lived in Ont. for 12 years, and am now in N.S. - and LOVE it here!

- Scrappy quilter said...
For the cat, he'll also stick around if you have mice in the woodpile. If you leave some food out he'll be there for sure.
Is Molly allergic to her food? Our dog was. Once we changed the food she was fine. Vet bills are expensive here too!!

One of the first things that I discovered in Eleuthera was that pink shows up on more than just its sandy shores. In fact, I found that the sand wasn't a true pink at all but really specks of pink washed with white, pictured above, under my pink toe nails. Although I dutifully scooped a bottle of the sand for my pink sand collection, I was disappointed that it wasn't a deeper shade of pink. But after a few days, I realized that pink dominates the island's color spectrum and accurately reflects Eleuthera's calm, cheery vibe.
First I was greeted by North Eleuthera's rosy-hued airport.
Then I was drawn in by pops of berry-colored blooms lined by a lavender fence.
Then I spotted a pastel pink church.
And I was tempted to lounge in cotton-candy-colored lawn furniture.
Most significantly, the signature conch shells that dot the beaches and supply the basis for the famed conch salad, add a serene pink glow everywhere you turn. Most of all, the pink symbolizes the gentle, friendly spirit of the Bahamian people, like these smiling school girls.

I had to smile when I read that you were digesting 'In the Time of the Butterflies' because that's been in my 'to read' list for some time now. Mainly because I've not read much literature from the Dominican Republic.
I loved these photos even though I am not a fan of pink hues. But on sand, oh, yes, give me pink(ish) sand anytime. Marvellous. Many thanks.
Greetings from London.

Cubano, scorpios never like subtle colors. My husband doesn't like pink either. I have a bowl of my new pink sand with some shells to go with it!
Amanda, yep, that's the airport! It kind of sets the tone for the whole little island.

I have a friend who would love this place. Her wedding this summer was on the beach with the same shade of pink as the airport. I will definitely have to refer her to this post!

Ekua, I love pink and Eleuthera is definitely a pretty place to have a wedding if you're a pink lover.
Jean-Luc, thanks for clearing that up!
Carol, I'm in the cold, whit.e snow as well now. I wish I were still in Eleuthera! Thanks for dropping by.

That is one very cute airport! And I love those chairs too!
Interesting that you're on a press trip... have you been following the various debates in the blogosphere on travel bloggers versus pro writers (a crazy comparison cause I do both myself for instance) and and press trips versus independent research?
There have been lots of discussions on various travel/writer blogs (I'm just about to post on the topic myself) but something that keeps coming up is how often press trip participants come away with the same kind of stories from these things... I can't imagine anyone coming away with a story on the pink hues of your destination... I think you should turn it into a feature! Lovely angle!

Heather, it was very warm and welcoming.
Catherine, the colors weren't quite as bold as Mexico but it was close.
Lara, yes I've read some of tthe debate. Nothing new about press trips, what''s new are bloggers who aren't journalists who don't understand the protocol of press junkets. I always have a culture based angle so my stories are always different from everybody elses but I never thought of a feature on pink objects in Eleuthera!
Lola, I'm glad, its a very soothing color.
Wendy, yes, these images do warm you up.

AMOROSTASIA, a dystopian neo-noir, for production company Les Armateurs, and the animated WAR WITH THE NEWTS, based on Karel Čapek's novel.
Apperry also writes for the stage, both as a playright and librettist. Among his last works: LE DERNIER LIVRE DE LA JUNGLE, a musical contemporary take on Kipling's Jungle Books, produced by France Culture, with the Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France.
Claire Barré
Claire Barré is a screenwriter and novelist.
After training as an actress, she turned towards writing and studied two years as a screenwriter at C.E.E.A. Upon finishing the program, she wrote for several television series (TF1, France 2 and Arte).

There are many snippets on the internet but many are out of date… so this is how to completely hide the Shop Page title in WooCommerce (plus: how to hide the title on WooCommerce Category pages). Enjoy!Continue reading WooCommerce: Remove "Shop" Title @ WooCommerce Shop Page
Tag: Loop Pages
WooCommerce: Hide "No products were found matching your selection"
When your WooCommerce store has no published products the shop page will not display anything. A message "No products were found matching your selection" will show instead. The same applies to empty categories.
So, how do we hide this notice? Thankfully, and once again, one line of PHP is sufficient to achieve the result! Enjoy 🙂 Continue reading WooCommerce: Hide "No products were found matching your selection"
WooCommerce: Change Product Permalinks @ Shop / Loop Pages
A BloomerArmada fan asked me a very interesting question: how can I link each product in the shop page to its own custom landing page as opposed to the default permalink?
Of course this applies when you don't want to use the default single product page for all or some products. Clearly, you could set up a 301 redirect from the single product page to the landing page – that will help for SEO as well. But if this is temporary, or you need to still give access to the single product page later on, then a redirect is no good.
So, here's how you can override the default permalink.Continue reading WooCommerce: Change Product Permalinks @ Shop / Loop Pages
WooCommerce: Remove, Rename, Add "Sorting" Options @ Shop
We've seen in the past how to completely remove the "Default Sorting" dropdown that shows in the WooCommerce Shop, Category and Product Archive pages.
Sometimes, however, you might just need to remove one of the default options, rename a sorting option accordingly to your needs or even add a brand new sorting method. As usual, a few lines of PHP are sufficient to achieve anything, thanks to WooCommerce hooks and filters.Continue reading WooCommerce: Remove, Rename, Add "Sorting" Options @ Shop
WooCommerce: Detect if Current Category Page is a Subcategory
A client of mine had to style a WooCommerce product category page but ONLY if it was a subcategory. So I decided to add a "subcategory" class to the HTML body, so that they could target this in their custom CSS.
As usual, the PHP is quite easy: I check if the current page is a product category, then if the category has "parents" and only in this case add a body class. Pretty easy! Continue reading WooCommerce: Detect if Current Category Page is a Subcategory
WooCommerce: Display Products in a Table Order Form
Interesting, isn't it? This has been on my to-write list for ages, so today I want to show you my first attempt at turning the Shop page into a list/table of products.
Let's see how I did this – I will try to comment my PHP as much as possible so you can understand my strategy. Enjoy!Continue reading WooCommerce: Display Products in a Table Order Form
WooCommerce: Display Variations' Stock @ Shop Page
Thanks to the various requests I get from Business Bloomer fans, this week I'm going to show you a simple PHP snippet to echo the variations' name and stock quantity on the shop, categories and loop pages. Enjoy!Continue reading WooCommerce: Display Variations' Stock @ Shop Page
WooCommerce: Display % Discount @ Shop & Loop Pages
Default WooCommerce shows a "Sale" badge if the item is on sale – but what about showing the exact sale percentage as well?
I implemented this for one of my freelance clients so here you go with the easy-peasy solution! Continue reading WooCommerce: Display % Discount @ Shop & Loop Pages
WooCommerce: Display Height, Length, Width @ Shop Page
Another interesting snippet that could come very handy. How do we show the product dimensions (height, width, length) in the shop / category / tag / loop pages? This could be a handy trick for shops that calculate shipping rates based on volume, or when the volume is a vital piece of data customers need to know before proceeding further. Either way, enjoy!Continue reading WooCommerce: Display Height, Length, Width @ Shop Page
WooCommerce: Display Stock Status/Quantity @ Shop Page
In this tutorial, my goal is to show the "stock quantity or status" under each product in the shop, category and archive pages.
This follows exactly the same settings as the stock display of the single product page. Go to /wp-admin/admin.php?page=wc-settings&tab=products§ion=inventory to manage "Stock display format". Enjoy!Continue reading WooCommerce: Display Stock Status/Quantity @ Shop Page
WooCommerce: Show Product Subcategories @ Shop Page
A client of mine has a category called "Brand". Each product is assigned to a specific Brand subcategory e.g. Nike, Adidas, etc. The goal of this task was to show the "Brand" subcategories in the shop/category/loop pages as a way to help the user identify the brand name. Continue reading WooCommerce: Show Product Subcategories @ Shop Page
WooCommerce: Remove or Rename SALE! Badge
Here's yet another WooCommerce simple PHP snippet if you wish to completely remove / hide the SALE! badges on the homepage, shop page, category pages and single product pages. Once again, wit a few lines of code you can achieve anything you want!Continue reading WooCommerce: Remove or Rename SALE! Badge
WooCommerce: Show "Sold Out" on Archive/Product Page
Another simple snippet that can easily help user experience and make sure the sold out badge shows on every product in the category & shop page. Not all themes allow this so you can use the snippet below to make it happen! Continue reading WooCommerce: Show "Sold Out" on Archive/Product Page
WooCommerce: Hide a Category from [product_categories] Shortcode
Sometimes solutions are very simple, and you don't need rocket science to fix your issue! A client of mine needed to hide a category from the Product Categories Shortcode ([product_categories]). A rare issue, but once again a quick fix! Here's how you do it.Continue reading WooCommerce: Hide a Category from Shortcode
WooCommerce: How to Remove the "Default Sorting" Dropdown
If the WooCommerce product sorting functionality ("Default Sorting" dropdown) is a waste of space or you don't need that select box at all, you may want to remove it.
This PHP solution is simply cleaner than CSS – and no matter if you code or not, you just need to copy/paste my snippet in your theme's functions.php.Continue reading WooCommerce: How to Remove the "Default Sorting" Dropdown
WooCommerce: Remove the Category Counters
Here's how to remove those annoying "yellow" product category counters in the WooCommerce shop / category / loop pages. You will find several versions of this snippet all over the internet…. but in case you haven't found it yet, here's the simple PHP code you need to add to your functions.php file. Continue reading WooCommerce: Remove the Category Counters
WooCommerce: Disable Variable Product Price Range $$$-$$$
You may want to disable the variable product price range which usually looks like $100-$999. With this snippet you will be able to hide the highest price, plus add a "From: " in front of the minimum price. All you need is pasting the following code in your child theme's functions.php 🙂 Continue reading WooCommerce: Disable Variable Product Price Range $$$-$$$

Dead Rising lulls you into a false sense of security with its over-the-top premise. You are a reporter (he's "covered wars, you know") who gets stuck in a shopping mall full of zombies in search of the ultimate scoop. Sounds safe, right?
- Once you start investigating the actual plotline, everything goes to hell. The army attacks, led by a General Ripper hellbent on covering up the incident by burning everything in the mall (breathing or not), your quirky teammates are zombified before your eyes (except for the tech, who is quite possibly the only other survivor in the end), it turns out that the zombie plague is transmitted by wasps (a fact that has left this troper with a crippling fear of the insects), and all the people you worked so hard to save are summarily disposed of to keep the mall's dirty secret under wraps. Even after a climactic escape involving a jeep and a knock-down, drag-out brawl-to-the-death against the deranged general, the protagonist remains infected by the incurable zombie plague, a walking time bomb that may go off at any moment. And, of course, our villain (who is quite dead by this point) has already set things in motion so that zombie uprisings will occur all over the country. Oh, and did I mention the Monster Clown?
- What, the Monster Clown with two chainsaws, who also happens to laugh while said chainsaws cut open his stomach and lets "all the little children go on his fun, killer ride?" Not to mention the Shell Shocked Senior you have to kill, who believes you and the zombies are Vietcongs? To say nothing of Psycho Lesbian Cop Jo Slade, who, when you meet her, has been doing God knows what with a night stick to four innocent women she took hostage...
- What made the Shell Shocked Senior's defeat a Tear Jerker was how, just before he died, he realizes that you aren't a Vietcong, and tells you how he watched his granddaughter get mauled by zombies, then shows you her picture. Even though you were only defending yourself, and he's "only" a boss, that scene will stay with you. Which makes it all the more satisfying to then pick up his still-bloody machete and bring Hell to the slavering, mindless hordes that took his girl from him.
- Jo had held several more woman held hostage...Janet mentions that she had already killed a couple of them...
- Steven Chapman is scarier and more unsettling than Adam: While Adam is creepy because of his costume and weapons and has a "good" reason for being insane now, Steven... doesn't. He's slaughtering and killing everyone on a simple paranoia, and the fact that he screams at the top of his lungs with nasty close ups of his face with those crazy eyes and all.
- And in the grand tradition of ground zero zombie outbreaks, only you and one other person survive the opening scene in the mall... and by the end of the game, that number may be too high.
- Late enough into the game to have rounded up too many survivors to keep track of, there's a detail about one of them that's nagging and inexplicably disturbing. When you meet the guy, Frank notices that he has a neck injury and he very anxiously insists that it's "just a scratch." Three guesses what it most likely is, and even though it's obvious, after you get him to the security room, it's unsettling when you notice him vigorously scratching his neck through the window of the room he's in only for him to stop as soon as you walk in. Sometimes the women in the same room start yelling at him, open for interpretation, also. And if you're waiting for a call from Otis telling you it may not have been a great idea to leave your survivors alone with this guy, nothing actually happens with him. On the other hand, in the endings in which Frank and his survivors escape...
- To add to that, you should notice a small detail about the zombies scattered throughout the mall. Some are scratching their necks in the same way that survivor is. The exact same way.
- There's an incredibly chilling piece on the first day. Frank comes across a traumtised survivor called Leah hiding in a Jewelry Store. When you talk to her, she grabs Frank and asks if he's seen her baby, but then she lets go and breaks down, confessing that her baby was killed by zombies, and that she sprained her ankle running away. That isn't the scary part. It's when she begins to explain in detail about the zombies eating her baby.
Leah: "They ate her. Those damn zombies ate my baby! Right in front of me...oh God, I've never heard her cry like that! Please... Just leave me alone..."
- Don't forget the hidden cutscene if you leave the main menu idle long enough. In it a mother and her daughter are driving down the road desperately trying to get away from the zombies, only to end up stranded alone and helpless as a mob of zombies surround them while they scream. Imagine seeing that at around midnight after returning from a quick bathroom break or midnight snack.
- Sean and the True Eye cult are quite freaky. The way the cultists move just isn't natural (a very slow, shambling crawl which is changed when they suddenlly rush forward))and they also have distorted voices that are very eerie sounding. Really, Sean is quite unsettling as well, with his penchant for public executions and his demonic tone of voice. And then, there's his death. Really, if you haven't seen the cult yet, the curious player who explores the movie theater may be unnerved when they wander into Theater 4 and see the bloody eye symbols, the torches, and mannequin idol and wonder exactly what the hell went on in there. You just can't help but wonder: Exactly how long have they been doing this?

Editor's Note: Bio-IT World has just published a comprehensive market study on the future of next-gen sequencing and NGS Leaders invited Allison Proffitt, from Bio-IT World, to give us her perspective on the report, which you can download for free. In addition, we invite you to join the discussion and add your comments or questions about the study. - Janine Holley
July 14, 2011 Allison Proffitt (Managing Editor, Bio-IT World) : What single event could most positively impact the future of
NGS? One response sums it up: "Uniformity in standards, analysis, more
trained informaticians. The cost of sequencing is moot, now the data deluge is
coming and none of the experiments are reproducible because of data storage and
sharing data issues." When the results came in from the three surveys that make up
The Future of Next-Gen Sequencing report, I was anxious to read through
them—and it certainly was an undertaking! With over 1,400 respondents and more
than 18,000 words worth of write-in responses, the full study represents a
wealth of information and the message
from respondents was loud and clear: there is a huge need for standards in the
industry.When we asked directly about standards, respondents were
split over the best way to develop industry reference points for data
management. Very few respondents thought the government should intervene, but
researchers and informaticians generally favored user-driven directives while
those IT professionals who support core facilities and manage and store data
preferred that vendors include standards in their products. Perhaps that
breakdown is predictable.Though any solution will certainly evolve as the user
community grows and more researchers have experience with the NGS workflow, the
survey shows that it is already a problem worth addressing. Where are standards
needed besides the inevitable question of how long and which data to keep?
Should the standards be different for research data and clinical data? If our
end goal is personalized medicine, is there really a distinction between the
two? How do we balance standards that ensure reproducibility while still allowing
for maximum creativity in dealing with a relatively new data type? One respondent suggested "the development of industry
standards that guarantee that only processed NGS data need to be stored (small
footprint) and that those data are stored in a consistent format that is
appropriate for any downstream analyses researchers from a variety of
backgrounds may require."A tall order, indeed.Over the next several months there will be much discussion
here on NGS Leaders about what all of this loquacity actually means, and if you
didn't get to participate in the surveys on the first three rounds, there will
be plenty of opportunities still to join the conversation.

Foreclosures In Caribou
Foreclosures no longer are frightening! Thousands have been helped, so why not you? Click below for foreclosures, power of sale and bank owned homes in Caribou.
How can I find power of sale homes in Caribou?
I use Foreclosuresearch.ca for my foreclosure needs because it is a one stop shop so to speak for education about the market and foreclosure process as well as lists of available properties with images and descriptions.
This saves me a considerable amount of time and effort. I don't have to search the internet for many hours looking at different Realtors websites sifting through houses in Caribou that are not foreclosures or don't fit what I am looking for.
Other options for finding foreclosed apartments is to speak to your local bank to see if they are carrying properties in their portfolio or to contact a local Realtor that concentrates in foreclosure listings. Many Realtors will list just about any property they can get their hands on but they may not be well versed in the foreclosure buying process so you need to be enlightened before going in.
How to buy a bank owned house in Caribou with bad credit.
Let me start off by saying that purchasing a foreclosed house in Caribou with bad credit is conceivable!
First, you have the option to buy a house for cash at a real estate auction. Then your credit doesn't play a factor at all because you are not taking out a loan. Not everyone has this kind of money lying around though so lets consider other options.
Research federal home buying programs. After the global economic crisis the last several years, banks have started to ease their lending requirements again at the urging of governments to allow homebuyers the chance of experiencing homeownership. There are many programs readily available again to assist those with low incomes or poor credit to buy homes. Your local housing authority office should be able to assist if you don't find what you need on the net.
Search for properties in Caribou and search for loans with low down payments. Save up money for your down payment but expect to pay a slightly higher interest rate as a result of your lower credit score. You should be able to refinance in a number of years after making on time payments to get a lower rate.
How you can buy a foreclosed condo in Caribou, NS.
The very first step is to get pre approved for a mortgage through a bank of your choosing or scrape together enough money to buy a property through an auction for all cash.
Next, find condos in Caribou, NS that you are interested in. Find a Realtor that is skilled in foreclosures and will be able to help you through the process of buying.
If you have questions about the process, I would consider consulting with a real estate or foreclosure attorney before purchasing to make sure you understand the method and the ramifications of buying foreclosed properties.
Something that needs to be considered before you buy is that some foreclosure properties are not open to having a home inspection done before buying and/or the bank that owns the property may not be willing to make any repairs. This could end up costing you some money to ensure the repairs after purchasing. This is the only downside in my opinion when buying foreclosed homes.
How long does it take to buy a foreclosure in Caribou?
This hinges on how you are buying the residence. Properties that are purchased in cash at an auction are turned over within a week or two maximum depending upon how much time it takes your funds to transfer to the bank and the title to be completed. Personally, I have had properties to me within three days in most cases.
If you are buying a property through a mortgage then the closing process takes a little bit longer. My experience has been about thirty days to closing, which is pretty normal when purchasing a property. The key is to get your down payment to the bank quickly and line up monies to pay your closing costs. Any paperwork that the bank sends you must be filled out immediately and sent back to speed up the process.
Are there reasons not to buy a repo house?
repo houses are usually sold "as is," suggesting the bank is not willing to make any repairs before selling the property. This means that any repairs could fall back upon the new owner to take care of. Sometimes the repairs are small-scale and other times they are serious.
Often a foreclosed property in Caribou NS has sat empty for some time so maintenance has been ignored and will need to be dealt with immediately.
Sometimes, just because the title has transferred to a new owner doesn't mean that all difficulties have passed. This is the importance of having a title search done well before buying a property given that liens or lawsuits could be attached to the property and you could take over them without understanding it.
How to negotiate for bank owned homes.
Patience is key here! The bank is in business to make money so they will be trying to get the highest price for the house that they can.
Remember that dealing with banks is a mechanical process and usually handled by computers and not real people. This can be frustrating for you the buyer but it is what it is. Eventually if you are persistent the bank will likely cave if they have no other offers because they know they need to transfer the property quickly.
Are Caribou bank owned homes good or bad?
This all relies on your goals and the risk level that you are willing to accept. If you agree to take on the potential repairs yourself and not expect the bank to pay for them then this is a great deal!
Remember to do your due diligence on foreclosures and on your property before buying to know exactly what you are getting involved in.
