Wake up Regan.
I tell you what I'm just going to be totally prejudiced right now, because I know for a fact that you, the reader of this is prejudging me right now, prejudging all of us when the story hasn't even really begun yet.
To all the people who left comments saying they weren't sure which way to take this blog due to the news.
The news is filtered, turn that shit off and read this.
To the bitch that left an essay of a comment about how we will all burn in hell: fuck you.
"It wasn't me, it wasn't us." He told me.
"You were the only ones that knew were he was hiding, so tell me how they found out?" I spat at him. He moved closer to me taking my hand in his.
"Ree, please look at me" He stuttered out.
I pulled back away from him.
"Get out, you killed him, get out!" I screamed.
I felt dizzy as I tried to breathe, choking from the tears I wouldn't set free.
"Regan please!" He called after me.
"I can't stand you" I muttered.
"I can't stand you..."
I slowly opened my eyes.
"How are you feeling?" November asked.
I shrugged in reply and moved off of the bed over to the dressing table. I wasn't exactly sure how to work out the emotions and thoughts going through me then. I knew what I looked like though; I looked like I'd seen a ghost and metaphorically I actually had seen a ghost, well, he wasn't a ghost, not technically, more like a ghost of the past.
"Please tell me I was dreaming and I didn't answer the door to him" I asked, my voice was cracked and tired.
"Why has he come back?" November questioned.
"Did you tell them to go?" I asked her.
She looked away.
"Fuck, November, can't you see that I can't do this? This whole thing was such a bad idea; just tell them all to go" I shot at her.
"It was your idea, you deal with it, I'm sick of you yelling at me when you have a problem with something, it's your mistake; go fix it!" She shouted.
I was honestly surprised, November wasn't one for shouting. She seldom ever raised her voice. I guess I knew deep down at that moment that she was right but I was too stubborn to tell her. I never did tell her she was right and I was sorry. I wish I did.
I walked over to the bathroom and washed my face, gave a half hearted attempt at taming my unruly hair and tried my best to stall but the flowers on the bathroom tiles weren't going to stay interesting forever. I didn't want to go down there and tell them that they had wasted their time in coming. But to be truly honest the reason why I didn't wan to go down there was because of him. I was scared about raking up old pain. I hadn't seen him in a whole year when he left I thought that was it. Especially when they sectioned the continents for different species, I'd had it set in my mind that there would be no way that he could make it back into my life.
"Get a grip" I told myself while I walked down the stairs. That suddenly became my must used phrase, maybe I thought that scolding myself would actually help, I don't really know but it was a waste of air.
The living room was completely over crowded with species of all sorts, all sticking to their own at various parts of the room. Furniture had been taken out. Goddamn random strangers had moved my furniture.
Then there was him standing in the middle of the room, looking at me. He was smiling. I decided that it would be best to avoid looking at him what so ever.
"You all have to leave" I said firmly. Looks of annoyance were shot at me, I just glared back.
"C'mon we travelled miles to get here" Said the guy that was earlier introduced as Gabe.
"Forget it Gabe, she obviously isn't up to it…" Said Taylor. She folded her arms and her lips were pursed, the majority murmured in agreement.
Blood boiling. "I'm not up to it?" I said in perfect amused outrage complete with fake laugh at the end. November had entered the room when she heard the tone of my voice. She was very accustomed to my temper; she shot me a look that I ignored.
"Can you all please take a look at yourselves?"
Raised eye brows…
"Why are you all here?" I asked them.
"Okay, okay you want a reason why I am throwing you all out?"
"Regan!" Said November, she pulled at my arm and I yanked it away.
God only knows what was going through all of your heads; I never said sorry…Sorry but no apology.
"So, you want to pick up the pieces of the mess the adults have made and put them back together, how you can do that when you hate each other?" I asked.
I think a lot of them wanted to punch me to be honest. Heck, I wanted to punch me.
"Am I the last to know about the bionic plague circling the room? I mean that is why you're standing miles apart from each other right?" I shot.
"Hmmm, what else is there? Oh right the fact that you couldn't even travel here without causing trouble, oh, and don't forget a couple of you nearly had a fight all ready" I added.
"So yeah, don't tell me that I'm not up to it" I said, my tone closing the matter.
They all started talking, a loud angry buzz. I began to haul the coffee table back into room. I looked up as the weight of the table became less heavy. Him.
"So that temper hasn't changed had it?" He was smiling, that sunshiny smile of his.
"You're not really gonna throw us out are ya? He added, with a mock worried face.
I dropped the table and resisted a smirk as it hit his foot.
"What do you want me to say to you?"
His smile faltered.
"You never did let me explain" He replied; now he looked worried.
"I don't need your Goddamn explanations, you are part of the reason he's dead and that's all I need to know" I said, not bothering to keep my voice down.
"Please?" He asked.
I didn't reply, instead I glared determinedly over his shoulder at a group that were obviously cursing my name to hell.
"Look, whatever okay, I'm still doing this because he wanted me to" He said with a certain finality to his tone.
"Pete, stay out of my way" I sighed
I pushed him away and continued dragging the coffee table to its rightful place.
"If you want to stick around, you can redeem yourself by helping me put the furniture back in the room, and then maybe we can talk properly huh?" I called. I heard a couple of noises that defined disbelief.
"So where does this go?" Someone asked. They were holding an end table.
I took her in; black hair, purple velvet dress complete with lace and a black travelling cloak. She was a perfect stereotype of a witch.
Her smile seemed polite and genuine so I told myself to be nice.
" Over there" I replied, pointing.
"I'm Saskia by the way, this is Gerard and I think Patrick and Lynai already introduced themselves earlier?" She said carefully.
"Here, give me that" Said Gerard, taking the end table off of her.
He carried it over to the corner that I had pointed out before.
Lynai led Patrick over by the hand.
"Lynai and I have been banished from the witch land, Patrick and Gerard aren't wizards you see" Saskia explained.
"No need for sarcasm" She added.
I just sighed; she was the psychic kind of witch.
"So what are you then?" I asked.
"Werewolves…" Said Gerard
"The vampires aren't very taken with us" Said Patrick quietly. Lynai squeezed his hand and gave him a reassuring smile.
"No one's very taken with anyone" I sighed.
"Okay people, let's try again" I called. Everyone stopped talking and stared at me instead, this didn't bother me in the slightest; I was no shrinking violet.
"Let's just pretend that never happened, turn over a new leaf" I
Gave them my best smile.
"I'm Regan Morris but you guys already know that, pretty sure that you're all aware of my brother Riley too. He was murdered by the human government for 'interfering with the lower life forms' but that's formally known as trying to make the peace between everyone". I spoke clearly, didn't let my voice waver even though it almost did.
"Don't get me wrong, this isn't some suicidal revenge mission, I'm just trying to carry on what he and Pete started" I stopped again, I'll admit that I gritted my teeth when I said his name.
"William was part of it too, he posed a spy, giving us feedback about what the dandies next move would be" Pete added.
Hannah placed her arms around William and looked up at him proudly, he placed his own arms round her and kissed the top of her head.
"Caleb spied on the bad dragons" November chipped in, her voice trembling. I bit my lip, subject change.
"Look, we have to do something, that's why you're all here right?" I cut in.
There was a knock at the door. Not just a knock the knock, you know the kind that can only be done by someone in authority? Me, Pete and William grew wide eyed; we knew that knock oh so well.
"This is a inspection, open the door and move to the area indicated on the inspection map, if you fail to open the door, move out of your set area or use threatening behaviour in any form you shall be arrested immediately" The voice of authority called from the other side of the door.
Calm down, I'm not about to leave you hanging for a million years, the next chapter is half done. Thanks and stuff, violence and shit next time this was just to fill a bit in . Sorry school exists.

the job of the artist is to always deepen the mystery - francis bacon
A disorienting work of synth overload. From the album "I Was a Teacher." Video by MSHR. For a limited time the LP is 40% off.
Crushed Interior
Jim Donadio is patient enough to start and end "Crushed Interior," his new LP as Prostitutes, with minimal beat patterns that only hint at what the rest of the album has to offer. But in between those two bookends, his emphasis on clattering textures and big, dance-oriented rhythms boldly and profoundly takes the focus. It all comes together on the massive machine-driven beat collage "Dial Tone Degradation" that manages to go much further than its title indicates to degrade rhythm itself in the best way possible. Its incessant movement and inspired composition bests nearly all else in the genre, but Donadio isn't shy about throwing out the template and starting anew as he does with the churning globs of drone in "Spiders in My Eyelids." The best of both worlds – layered and frenetic beats slowed by much needed moments of rest. – Ryan Potts, Experimedia
This weeks installment of Experimedia's weekly mix series comes to us from Digitalis head honcho Brad Rose. Brad need little introduction as the artists behind a growing list of projects such as Charlatan, Alter Eagle, The North Sea and countless more.
1. Jolin Ras "SunGoddess"
2. Esplendor Geometrico "Signos de Energia"
3. Marie Davidson "L'Unique"
4. Prince Douglas "Let Me Love You Dub"
5. Threads "Room"
6. [PHYSICS] "Remember"
7. LE1F "Bubbles"
8. Aloonaluna "Kaleidoscopes"
9. Charles Dodge "When I Am With You"
10. Ras Michael & The Sons of Negus "Keep Cool Babylon"
12. Euphrat + Tigris "2:53"
13. Hedia "Trading Caresses"
14. Junk DNA "Mercator"
15. Pinchers "Agony"
16. Sil Electronics "V7"
17. Best Available Technology "Atomic Numbers"
18. Regis & Ian Richardson "Staff Car"
On "Tunnels," Discoverer's first LP for Digitalis, the sound does recall Emeralds from a couple years back or a downsized version of Tangerine Dream. However, the major difference is that Brandon Knocke writes actual songs and not just soundscapes. Hooks weave through rhythms with ease and evolving harmonies underline nearly every melodic turn on "Tunnels," creating a hazy pop album that still indulges in expansive atmospherics and long, gleaming tones. Knocke relies heavily on synthesizers and drum machines for his brand of electronic pop and manages to give natural, fluid movements to his songs that would sound rigid and clunky in lesser hands. Natural highlights include the heavily-manipulated vocals and echoing melody of the ridiculously-titled "Lesbian Software" and the bright, spiraling synth lines of the title track. – Ryan Potts, Experimedia
The Call From Below
Major curveball from the Digitalis camp, "The Call From Below" is a bewitching album of hazy dub-oriented head music. Although it is chock-full of dub tropes (decaying vocal samples, delayed keyboard motifs, throbbing riddims), one would be remiss to locate it purely within said genre. Disorienting drones, layers of fuzz and coiling plumes of static descend on the more rhythmic elements and shroud them in a dense fog as on the superlative "Stop Motion." "LargeItUp" raises the BPMs and is one of the more (only?) danceable tracks in the Digitals canon. This is an album of cycles, something to get lost in, with chanted and looped/chopped vocals forming a web of hypnotic sound amidst webs of seething percussion. Gripping stuff recommended for fans of Hyperdub, Shackleton, Demdike Stare and beyond. - Alex Cobb, Experimedia
Birch Cooper
I Was A Teacher
Another Digitalis drop from the Slaves camp, hot on the heels of the superb Spirits of the Sun LP (just last week!). "I Was a Teacher" sees Birch Cooper step out on his own and proves to be a much different animal than the aforementioned woozy, drone-laden headtrip. If the Slaves sound on their Digitalis debut can be thought of as principally devotional, Cooper's solo work here is unhinged, though certainly not unfocused. The title cut bursts into being with surging, coiling shards of pure tone. Some of these sounds remind me of Bee Mask's best work, but Cooper manages to make the fractured tones culled from his synths distinct and very definitely his own. The press release asserts that there's "nothing beautiful" about "I Was a Teacher," and while, on the whole, Cooper does deal in scalding, disorienting sonics, there are moments of blissful tranquility, such as the denouement of "Meshing Ladder." A great, bewildering record. Recommended. - Alex Cobb, Experimedia
The Slaves
Spirits of the Sun
DOUBLE REVIEW! What does it mean? It means we accidently assigned the same review to two of our writers. Well this is a fantastic record and certainly merits it. So all is well.
Portland, Oregon two-piece, The Slaves, create a haunting, liturgical work in Spirits of the Sun. The album opens with "111" and spacious chanting that summons robed figures in giant, incense filled halls. There is something both tragic and revelatory at play here in hymnlike fashion as the music builds and distorts to a crescendo of feedback. "River" flows slowly into place following a similar formula of long vocal notes and sustained, processed tones. Whereas "111" takes place in the confines of an ancient church, "River" is out in the open and forms a luckdragon ride through faded clouds and fog filled valleys. "The Field" brings about slow melody, while closer "Born Into Light" creates a Steve Roach style soundscape of transcendence and transformation. Sprits of the Sun is an album of invocation with an overwhelming sense of holy beauty and sonic immersion. - Curt Brown, Experimedia
Latest missive from the Digitalis imprint comes in the form of this radiant full-length from the Portland based duo of Barbara Kinzle and Birch Cooper operating as The Slaves. "Spirits of the Sun" opens with a pathos-infused chant, recalling the superlative acapellas of Julianna Barwick. These vocals are soon merged with rising, distorted tones sourced from processed guitars or perhaps synthesizer. This first piece is pathos-laden and devotional, a destroyed hymn built upon seething drones and wraithlike vocals. The remainder of the record is similarly excellent, never veering far from the structure of the opening piece but being all the better and more focused for it. Highly recommended for fans of anything from Grouper to Nadja to lovesliescrushing. - Alex Cobb, Experimedia
Decimus 11
Decimus is the solo project of Pat Murano (No Neck Blues Band), and on 11 he takes us deep into the world of modern sound collage. Except I don't think anything is sampled here, rather Murano has created separate modules of instrumentation that when melded together make a mutant patchwork of sorts. The album's unifying factor is it's dankness and murk — most of it feels subterranean, or dripping with brown goo, and because of that lo-fi blanket even a beat or a standard guitar meditation sounds a bit otherworldly. Other recognizable musical elements do crop up on the album, but it's hard to use standard genre tropes like electronic, kraut or drone-metal (or whatever) to describe what 11 actually sounds like. It is abstract, but not necessarily "difficult" music — which is to say I never felt my mind wandering while listening. Instead I was pleasantly surprised by the craft and arrangement skills on display, especially in conjunction with the pervading weirdness. - Keith Rankin, Experimedia
Jean Piche
Created between 1977 and 1980 using the period's best digital synthesizers and computer software, Jean Piché built an album that feels at once classic and contemporary. "Heliograms" is reissued in an edition of 700 by Digitalis which is fitting as its sumptuous collection of bright, gleaming textures seemingly informs much of the label's current discography. More than anything, it finds kindred spirits with some particularly looming ambient figures, recalling a more placid Tangerine Dream, a beatless Popol Vuh or a digitalized take on Brian Eno's "On Land." Four extended tracks stretch across "Heliograms," with each clocking in above the ten minute mark. Track length is paramount to the listening experience as each are studies in subtle shifts of tone, frequency, and timbre. This approach allows Piché's slow, arcing compositions to explore many musical territories, from sustained synth pad to minimalist pulse to filtered tone cluster and back again. - Ryan Potts
Paco Sala
Over the last couple years I've come to greet new Digitalis vinyl editions with a fondness reserved for only a few contemporary labels. Brad Rose's curatorial vision is always stellar, with an ear towards finding what are often somewhat disparate artists who, despite their topically quite different approaches to making music, retain certain distinctly Digitalis-like tropes and lend the label's output the consistency and "feel" that is so often absent from prolific labels. Here we have the second outing from Antony Harrison's Paco Sala project. While I can't comment on the content of the original cassette, what we have on "Ro-me-ro" is a rather intoxicating and exotic blend of synth-pop and, as the press release makes note, Italo disco tropes. On several tracks, Harrison is joined by a vocalist, the mysteriously monikered Leyli, whose chanteuse-like intonations lend a distant, angelic, almost Deep House quality to the songs in which she appears. Overall, this is a fun, accessible record - sort of the type of thing 100% Silk is aiming at but, for my money, perhaps a more successful iteration. Lovely cover art too. A great edition. – Alex Cobb, Experimedia
April 26th 2012 shop update.
Concessionaires - Artificial Interface
Artificial Interface is a fitting title for the anticipated new album from Concessionaires (Digitalis' Brad Rose and Greenup's Pete Fosco), a long player on the machine uprising just released by Under the Spire. "Mirrorshades" evokes a reflective robot head, spitting binary that decodes as "Skynet is awake and pissed." Synthetic dewdrops and screeches blanket nuclear snow w/ occasional percussion and yarning synthesizer voices screaming that mourning song of robot rebellion. This is the moment when the supercomputer addresses the populace. The machine ambiguously breaks apart toward the end of "Mirrorshades," is this retreat or retaliation? The quick follow of the long pad in "Live Angel" introduces the human resistance as viable player. Pulses and a buried synthesizer melody debrief the rebels for deploy of "Gazelocked" where the armies line against synthetic, trace glow landscapes and crumbled skylines. Minimal martial percussion propels the album forward and "Introducing Rocket Nights" finds the humans musing on the situationÑtechnological evolution and the synthetic basis in organic life are campsite chats as Artificial Interface's situation comes to focus. Rose and Fosco have created a concept album that addresses the relationship between humans and technology without creating a concept album at all. The music is strong enough to evoke its own tale and meticulously crafted, able to maintain momentum through polars of bleakness and hope. Artificial Interface pulls back the reinforced cybernetic shell at timesÑexposing raw ambient, pure soundscapes, and echoes of classic era ambient composers wandering among forward-moving technique and composition. Artificial Interface is singular album of mixed emotion and modernity. It ends w/ "Sparkler," wailing guitar pulls, buried ambience, and ominous percussion while stuttering synthesizer and ether pads drift the album off to ambiguity. The thoughts and emotions elicited throughout the duration of Artificial Interface are not permitted a formal response, but instead allowed to wander anew and lingering in the mind of the listener. - Curt Brown for Experimedia

6 tips to win a bidding war for your next home
Do you have what it takes to beat competitors for the house you want?
© SuperStock
The bidding wars are back. While not every local real-estate market is experiencing bidding wars, some homebuyers find themselves competing for houses because not many are for sale in their markets. The result? Many homes have 10 to 15 offers the day they go on the market, says Susan Paul, owner of Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Move Time Realty in Scottsdale, Ariz.
To compete in a bidding war, buyers need to prepare financially for the home purchase. They have to be familiar with property values in their target neighborhoods. And they must know what they want.
While offering the most money might seem like the best way to win a bidding war, sellers don't always choose the highest offer. Instead, sellers often prefer offers that are most likely to go through and that meet their conditions. Here are six tips to increase your chances of making the winning offer in a bidding war for the house of your dreams.
1. Have a lender on speed dial
"Too many buyers talk to a lender and start looking at homes at the same time," says Eldad Moraru, a real-estate agent with Long & Foster Real Estate Inc. in Bethesda, Md. "You need to have everything (financial) done before you begin to look." Then you are more likely to win a bidding war.

He suggests selecting a lender and a loan, completing everything the lender requires and having a preapproval letter in hand — all before submitting an offer.
"You need to make sure your lender is ready to issue an approval letter specific to the property at the drop of a dime," Moraru says.
Paul recommends keeping a file folder constantly updated with your most recent pay stubs, all pages —even blank pages — of recent bank statements and any other documentation the lender may need to make a quick loan approval. Then you are ready to make an offer.
A strong preapproval is essential, especially if you are competing against buyers with cash to offer, says Alan T. Aoyama, vice president of Century 21 M&M Associates in Cupertino, Calif. Any hint that you might have trouble qualifying for financing could eliminate you from the seller's choice of buyers.
2. Cash in your pocket plus the paperwork to prove it
"An all-cash buyer can even waive the appraisal," Aoyama says. "If you're a noncash buyer, you need to have a copy of your proof of funds with your offer, along with a strong preapproval. At a minimum, you should offer a down payment of 20% if you know you'll be competing against other buyers. You need to show you have the funds to close and the ability to make up the difference if the appraisal comes in too low."
Moraru says that in Washington, D.C., and Maryland, it's common to supplement your offer with a financial information sheet detailing your job history, salary and bonuses, 401(k) balance, how much you have for a down payment and where the money is saved.
A higher-than-customary earnest money deposit can sometimes impress sellers when there is a bidding war, Moraru says. Just make sure you fully meet all deadlines and terms of the contract so you don't lose your deposit.
3. Make a fast, personalized offer
To compete against other buyers in a potential bidding war, make sure you see a home the day it goes on the market, so you can move quickly, Paul says.
"Your buyers agent should talk to the listing agent to find out what is motivating the sellers and what they need — such as a quick settlement or a post-settlement rent-back," Paul says. "Be flexible, and work that into your offer. Make it as easy on the sellers as possible so your offer is chosen above 15 others."
Paul says buyers should offer to help the sellers in any way they can, such as helping them find a home for their pet if they can't take it with them.
Moraru says while price is important, sellers want to know the buyer can finance the property and meet any other conditions. If you don't know the date when the sellers want to settle, you can write "will settle on seller's schedule" into the offer.
Aoyama suggests offering 30 days of free rent if the sellers want to stay in their home after settlement.

4. Keep your home inspector on alert
Most real-estate agents don't recommend buying a home without an inspection, but making your offer contingent on an inspection can weaken your position if other buyers are waiving an inspection contingency. Aoyama says buyers should carefully read all disclosures and reports that are available, because some sellers provide a home inspector's report for buyers. You can also have an home inspection done after your offer has been accepted that can provide information on the home's condition.
"If you're serious about a particular house, you can have a home inspection before you make an offer, and then make a noncontingent offer if you're satisfied with the report," Moraru says. "You'll need to move fast, though, and have a home inspector ready almost the day the home goes on the market."
Paul says you can bring a home inspector along when you first look at the home and say the inspector is a friend, just to get a feel for the condition of the home without an in-depth checkup.
"If the inspector says the house looks OK, you can feel better about waiving the home inspection contingency," Paul says.
5. Eliminate or reduce contingencies
One of the best ways to make your offer stronger is to eliminate contingencies regarding home inspection, financing or appraisal, Aoyama says. That puts you in a more solid position to win a bidding war. If you have cash reserves to cover the gap between a low appraisal and your offer, you can waive the appraisal contingency, he says, but leave your financing contingency in place to protect yourself.
"If you can't waive these, you can at least shorten the time frame, such as (by) reducing the loan contingency to 10 days if you know your lender can provide you with proof of financing quickly enough," Aoyama says.
Offering to buy the home as is can be tempting, but make sure you have an accurate idea of the home's condition with an informational inspection for safety.
Paul says buyers need to make their offer as strong as possible, so if you don't need a home warranty or help with closing costs, don't ask for them.
6. Try an escalation clause — maybe
An escalation clause is an addendum to a purchase offer that authorizes your agent to offer a specified amount above the best offer the seller receives. It's a powerful way to wage a bidding war.
"Buyers are offering escalation clauses a lot less often than when the housing market was booming, unless the home is priced way below market value," Moraru says. "I recommend that buyers who want to offer an escalation clause be very careful when choosing to go as high as they can with the understanding that they can live with the price if it goes to the maximum amount. They also need to feel that if someone else gets the house at a higher price, that buyer overpaid."
If your get into a bidding war for a house...Then that is the wrong house for you! There are many houses in the marketplace so there is no need to get into a bidding war, most likely fabricated by the broker or agent to get the most commission. They prey on your emotions and feed into any uncertainty they sense. Don't get caught up in this nonsense. Educate yourself because no one else will. Learn about the area and what is available, etc. I got an amazon ebook for my son called " stuff I told my kids about how to buy your first house." It is 2.99, but free to borrow for amazon prime members. Good basic info to know BEFORE you see any agents or brokers.
Then 1 month later the house is still on the market. 2 months later...still on the market, etc. etc.
6 months later..."where were those eager buyers just itching to make an offer again??"
HAHAHA!! I think it's a common ploy that some agents use to create an artificial bidding war. i seriously doubt there were ever ANY other "interested" buyers! they were probably trying to avoid us making a lowball offer. We just tell them we're not interested in getting in any 'bidding wars' and we walk away.
As a professional home inspector for 25 years, the advise concerning home inspection is incorrect. First of all to have a home inspection before the buyer and seller are in contract almost never happens. Why? Because the seller is looking for the best offer, not making it easier for every person wanting to put an offer on the house. The home inspection is most beneficial to the buyer if an inspection was not performed for the seller first. The buyer will most likely want to use the report to present the best offer based on the conditions or use it to negotiate. Why would the seller want to help in this regard in a sellers market if they are not in a ratified contract? Would you let every potential buyer of say 20 or more people at different times come into your home and turn on every appliance, fixture, walk on the roof, etc. without being in contract. The contract provides safeguards during the buyers investigative rights. So why allow this liability without safeguards?
The best way to get the best offer is for the seller to have the inspections performed first. This then allows the seller to fix items of concern or disclose without surprises when the buyer presents their offer. The buyer will have a report to review as part of a disclosure package and can reduce the time needed for contingency removal. This also allows the seller to be more realistic on the selling price and can help to spur multiple offers by allowing potential buyers information on the home's condition. Inspectors in Calif. are liable to the buyer even if the buyer did not hire them.
Secondly, asking an inspector to do a visual inspection and give a blessing to a home without a formal report is asking the inspector to waive his rights as a business professional and makes them more prone to future liability. A written report is the only validation of findings we should be giving. No inspector gives a blessing to a house! That's like giving the home a rating of 1- 10. That's very subjective and not objective as we are supposed to be. We are non biased participants. We try to educate the client to the findings and defer to other specialists, not try to sell the house to the buyer.
Here we go again.....the Government just bought millions of foreclosed homes, that were on the market, and they have not released them yet, to keep the inventory LOW.
It's a shell game they are playing with buyers, and it should backfire in Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac's face!!
The inventory is super saturated, and it's a BUYER'S market, but the Real Estate Industry, and the Government don't want us to remember that report, that came out a couple of months ago. Sit tight, or make a lowball offer, and if the sellers are desperate enough, and you are pre-qualified, they will snatch your offer and you will save yourself tons of money.
Do a search on the property (Property History) on Realtor.com, and check out what it was appraised for, by the County, for taxes back when the Bubble was in it's finest hour. Chances are, you will see that it was appraised, on it's best day, for $89K, and they are now trying to soak you for $125K? or higher. Don't be deceived....if you do your homework, you will find the right house, at a SANE price.

Give the San Antonio Spurs credit. They came into the Pepsi Center and flat out whooped the Denver Nuggets 111-92. I have mentioned the heart that this Nuggets team has, but the Spurs were so good that it looked like the Nuggets realized early in the fourth quarter that they had no chance to stage one of their comebacks and they basically taped out.
After defeating the Spurs twice in San Antonio this season the Nuggets seemed to take the Spurs lightly. San Antonio has not been playing their typical stout defense as they had in the past. However, tonight they looked as good as they have in a long time on that end of the floor and the Nuggets certainly did not appear to be prepared for the defensive effort the Spurs put forth.
Denver took the easy way out settling for jumpers and playing incredibly stationary on offense. Even on the possessions where Denver passed the ball, they were barely probing the membrane the Spurs set up at the three point line rarely making any threatening movements. To make things worse the shots the Nuggets repeatedly settled for were not falling and they were done in not so much by their inability to make a three, but their inability to keep themselves from jacking up the next one.
Chauncey forced several threes in the second half on his way to a 1-8 performance while J.R. attempted four, although none of his could be considered poor shots. Carmelo was the lone Nugget who shot well from behind the arc, finishing 2-3 from distance, but his shot selection was no better than Chauncey's.
Melo started off the game probing the defense and making a couple of nice passes as he did against Dallas, but the way he played against the Spurs was wildly different from how he played against the Mavs. Instead of showing any kind of patience, he forced contested jumper after contested jumpers. The Spurs give Carmelo as much respect as any team in the league as the frequently send a player to double while the other three all have at least one foot in the lane ready to help at a moments notice.
While Melo forced a good number of bad shots that lead to his 6-17 performance we once again have to go through the chicken and the egg discourse questioning if Melo did not pass because no one would cut or if no one cut because Melo would not pass. Personnel certainly played a role with Denver's immobility. Kenyon is Denver's best slasher and he was wearing fancy clothes on the sideline. Neither Birdman nor Malik Allen like to cut both preferring to stand aside incase a pass comes their way off of penetration. Still it is frustrating to see Denver fall back into their no movement jumper chucking mode all the while watching and wondering if they have any idea how badly they are shooting themselves in the foot.
While I hate any loss, I have to wonder if Denver needed a wakeup call following their drubbing of the Mavericks to make sure they stay focused during the all-star break and do not enter the backside of the season overly confident.

Hi, I'm a guy from Sweden who's currently going to game development college. I'm interested in game development, creating 3d models and programming.
No blog entries have been posted here. Boring yes, but as confucius says - if you have nothing good to say, why say anything at all? Check back later, perhaps something exciting will pop-up and be worth blogging about, like season 3 of the teletubbies.
Speak your mind, rant about games, mods and the development scene, it's simple and who knows maybe someone will read it and agree. It will feel right!

App comparison: iPad vs. Nexus 7 -- no clear winner
Summary: Quite a few apps are now available for both the iPad and Android tablets but they are quite different on the two platforms. The 8 apps are shown in screen shots, first on the iPad followed immediately by one taken on the Nexus 7.
13 of 16Image
Skype- Nexus 7
Skype is a decent performer on Android, but the display is not used as well as on the iPad. Call quality varies on the Android tablet, more so than on the iPad in my experience.
Zite- iPad
This app originally appeared on the iPad, and is a great example of the way a tablet program should work. The screen use is marvelous, and performance is solid.
Zite- Nexus 7
The Android version of Zite is absolutely embarrassing compared to the iPad version. The screen use is horrible. It's so bad I refuse to use Zite on the Nexus 7.

The upcoming 20th episode of "Supernatural's" ninth season is going to be serving as the backdoor pilot for the "Tribes" spin-off, set in Chicago, and on Thursday, Feb. 20, TVGuide.com reported casting news for two series regulars.
Nathaniel Buzolic, who played the Original Kol on "The Vampire Diaries," is going from playing one kind of monster to another. He will be playing David Hayden, a shapeshifter who has left the monster life behind to live as a human. He's from one of the city's ruling monster families.
Meanwhile, Lucien Laviscount is going to be playing Ennis Roth, a police academy trainee who gets into the hunting business after his fiancée is caught in the crossfire and killed in the monster war. Sound at least a bit familiar, "Supernatural" fans?
"Supernatural: Tribes" follows Chicago's mafia-like monster families and the new hunter who is trying to get rid of anything supernatural in the city. At a time where spin-offs and remakes are everywhere on TV, will this one work? Only time will tell, but for now, it's clear the spin-off is following CW's trend of casting very attractive people.
"Supernatural" season 9 airs Tuesdays at 9 p.m. on the CW, with episode 20, introducing these "Tribes" characters, slated to air April 29. What do you think of what's been released about the "Tribes" spin-off so far?

You can remove me from the list. I worked out a trade with BZiggyZ.
Thanks for the cool thread, Shecky!
These were at Big Lots?
Hi kids,

Here's another piece we (the wife & I) did that's now being offered as a t-shirt!
What's Taters,...
I've been so psyched about this line from the get go and I'm doubly-psyched that so many others seem to be jumping aboard as of late. They appear to been selling rather well at (most of) my local TRU...
Alright!!! Puking Knight and Cry-Borg were two that I was pulling for. Cool cool cool cool.
I thought that all the places that had exclusive colors made sold out their stock, but I could be wrong about that. October Toys should get more basic pink in eventually, I think.
I really need to...
You ever look up his IMDB page? The guys' production company produced nearly every* live TV show in the last 50 years - http://www.imdb.com/company/co0061493/
*that might be a slight exaggeration,...
I dig it and I $5ed it. Reminds me of the 70's Letter People (which is a good thing!)
Hope it gets printed. :hmgrin::skgrin::srgrin:
^^^ That is pretty friggin' sweet looking. :hmgrin:
My wife has had nothing but good luck with etsy, Toygiant. Hopefully they work just as good for you.
I have a few. Check the link below in my signature. Just search "Glo friends" and a few (7 or 8?) should show up.
PMed about the Starriors pieces.
That's super cool, man. Showed it to the wife and she said if it was sized for adults she would snatch it up in a second.
So there's more work for your wife to do... :hmwink::hmlol:
I'll more than likely take you up on that. Thanks, mang.
But nonetheless, it still stinks that I can't just get her from the source at cost... Matty seems to like to keep her juuuust slightly more...
Uggghh. This teasing crap is getting old. Either put Teela up in quantity or don't bother at all. :hmmad:
And fix your gosh-darn website, Matty. Jeez...
Teela's gone, seriously? I logged in at noon, saw that she was "Coming Soon" (which I didn't think meant "in a few more seconds") and went to get my lunch from the fridge. I get back and... waa waaa!...
Some Fringe art we (the wife & I) did is getting made into a t-shirt! :hmgrin:
It's up for the remainder of today only...
You're going to need a lot, and I do mean A LOT, more diligence and patience if you have any hopes of ever seeing $$$ back from Shocker. Best of luck!

We're extremely excited to announce SilverStripe v2.4 is now at alpha release stage!
This means it's ready for testing by our community while we continue to complete the intended features for the stable version, and complete our own testing. We do not recommend using this version of SilverStripe for production sites yet, unless you perform extensive testing on your own site first.
The SilverStripe 2.4 release is all about using SilverStripe in bigger and more complex production environments and it brings a wealth of great features.
If your website contains hundreds or thousands of pages, you may find the default way SilverStripe handles friendly URLs a little limiting. For instance:
With hierachical URLs, the address for such a page might be:
One of the principles of this feature is that it provides a logical "bread crumb" for a page. Each segment in the URL (as separated by a slash symbol) is a page in itself that can be visited. Hierachical URLs also reduce the problem of "running out" of URLs, where you might be forced to have URLs like http://website.com/staff-2/. SilverStripe will allow you to run the website in either simple or hierachical URL mode, so that for simple websites you can retain short, memorable website addresses.
Huge thanks go to Andrew Short, a member of our developer community based in Australia, who is responsible for writing most of this feature.
There is strong demand for SilverStripe to run on the Microsoft platform—in recent months there have been more than 36,000 downloads via the Microsoft.com web application gallery alone. We have therefore worked hard to allow SilverStripe to natively run on a SQL Server 2008 database, eliminating the requirement to run SilverStripe on MySQL (of course it still runs great on MySQL, though). We're really happy with the results, and we have government websites like www.gw.govt.nz already running on this platform.
Running SilverStripe on SQL Server requires the installation of the SilverStripe SQL Server module.
SilverStripe 2.4 can also run on a PostgreSQL 8.3 or later database. Our testing of this is not as extensive as it has been for Microsoft SQL Server, so we're being cautious at this stage and labelling it experimental. We'd love people to install this version of SilverStripe with the PostgreSQL Database Support module and raise issues.
SilverStripe has long had support for setting granular security permissions on pages. Users can be a member of one or more groups, and groups can be configured to have various system rights, and various view and edit permissions to a page by page basis. This provides a great deal of flexibility, but in complex organisation stuctures, it means the task of setting up the permission structures means spending a lot of time creating security groups.
Managing more complex security configurations has been eased in SilverStripe 2.4 with the introduction of roles. Roles allow groupings of people to be:
This simplifies maintainance of the rights and users for large organisations. It makes permissions less repetitive to set up. Roles are overkill in simple situations, and therefore their use is optional.
We'd love for you to download this release, test it, and raise articlate bug reports. In particular we are interested in:
To raise a bug, login at open.silverstripe.com and create a new ticket. When adding a ticket, be sure to specify the version as 2.4.0 alpha.
Many thanks for all the hard work.

Note: This is a review not a sales page, click here for Energy by Water.
As demand for energy has risen worldwide so has the cost. It is getting to the point where many people (myself included) are now being forced to decide between paying for energy and paying for other necessities such as food and shelter.
But how can we produce electrical energy inexpensively and something we can build ourselves without big government getting in the way. Energy by Water is a step-by-step eBook that gives you a blueprint on how to build your own micro hydroelectric generator.
For me, building my own green energy producing machine was a no brainer. The idea of not having an electric bill was so appealing that I jumped at the chance of getting "off-the-grid".
All of the research I did lead me to three options: solar panels, wind turbines or micro hydro generators and micro hydro was just to expensive. For my electrical needs (my wife's actually) I needed an acre of solar panels and wind turbines (when the sun wasn't shining). This is due to the inefficacy of solar power. That was not realistic, at least not on my budget. And all of the pre-built hydro generating systems were WAY out of my budget, plus I needed a running water source to operate them.
With the Energy by Water step-by-step process you can build your own micro hydro system within a budget with no constant flowing source of water. You can produce electricity in your very own home without having to pay a single dine to anyone. And you don't need any specialized knowledge or mechanical experience.
Energy by Water has a 100% satisfaction money back guarantee. So if it doesn't work for you, just contact them and get your money back. Win, win?
I hope this short review has helped you in some way. I truly believe that small hydroelectric generator are the wave of the future.

With such a simple salad everything has to be the best to shine. Made to recipe proportions two ways. One all arugula & one with baby mixed greens for arugula-haters. Also made dressing two ways, one all olive oil for the arugula & one half olive/half walnut oil for the greens. Both versions were lovely. Served with CL's roasted beef tenderloin with merlot shallot sauce & CL's risotto with porcini. Recommend serving this salad after these kinds of "mains," rather than as first course.
Arugula and Pear Salad with Toasted Walnuts

quikgourmet Posted: 03/30/11
This salad is so fresh! I dump the arugula, pears, and walnuts in a big salad bowl, mix with about half the dressing, and save the rest for another salad. Try this if you think the dressing is too oily.
Dougal13 Posted: 04/30/09
Outstanding salad - the dressing was light and super easy. I substituted baby spinach for the arugula and I also topped the salad with some gorgonzola cheese. My family loved this recipe and I see myself making it many more times!
Ltoeat Posted: 06/05/09
The dressing is too oily.
NineLittleDogs Posted: 05/23/09
Unbelievably good - the taste was light and refreshing! I made it for a dinner party with Arugula as it calls for but used toasted sunflower seeds and topped with Blue Cheese. Everyone loved it. I served this with Sesame Crusted Tuna - good compliment. This is now one of my FAVORITES.
ChefMcIntyre195 Posted: 07/07/10
I wish I had read the reviews first. It was a bit oily. I will cut down to 1 tbsp next time. Very easy to make and great taste.
ewarnock Posted: 10/03/11
I go back to this salad over and over again. It is a favorite in my home.
EileenNJ Posted: 11/18/12
I've made this a few times and always come back to it since it's so good. You can use firm apples instead of pears, and I've made it with baby mixed lettuces also. I've served it at parties and it was gobbled up. Sometimes I use pear vinegar instead of white wine vinegar.
karen271 Posted: 08/16/13
Very light and tasty salad! I used light olive oil the first time I made it, then extra virgin as per the recipe the second time; my husband and I liked the light version better! Also, not being too pear savvy, I used Barlette pears; I will try Bosc next time if I can find them. Sprinkled a little goat cheese on it before serving. I actually made the dressing for the full recipe but only used half the amounts of pear and arugula, and it worked well for us.
dwrona Posted: 10/15/13
This is a great easy salad. The arugula walnut and pears are a perfect complement to the delicate yet flavorful dressing.

My world as I know it.
No matter where I go in life, I seem to always have terrible luck tagging along. I can never seem to catch a break with anything. Love, Cars, Jobs… Bad luck follows them all. Lately, It seems that I just haven't had a single care in the world about all these problems anymore. I have gone completely numb. I go to work, come home and spend time with my son, do my school work and move on with the next day. The only way that I've ever been able to truly feel is by reacting to the music that I am listening to. How could I get this numb? How could I get to the point to where I do not feel anymore? No emotions. It's a boring story. Living each day without feeling sad or feeling alone. You never realize how much those emotions truly mean to you until they are gone. When your emotions have decided to run off and leave you alone, you'd like to be depressed, but you cannot. You just have a blank attitude. Blank heart. Blank head.

Movie: Charmed Season One
Year: 1998
Director: Various
Critic rating: 4
Rating: NR
Genre: Sci-Fi
Format: plain
In the debut season of Charmed, one of The WB's original series, the Halliwell sisters, Prue (Shannen Doherty), Piper (Holly Marie Combs) and Pheobe (Alyssa Milano) discover they are witches with enormous and power and a destiny to save the world. There is hardly any time to learn how to use their powers, as the girls are attacked by all manner of demons and warlocks almost immediately. The sisters are aided by Prue's childhood sweetheart, Andy (Ted King), who eventually pays the price for protecting the sisters' secrets. There was an innocent quality to this show in its first season, before it got bogged down by a heavy mythology, and Doherty, who would depart after the third season, brought a gravity to the sisters that her replacement Rose McGowan never did.

Have kept a boom and tank/feral sets since bc, nice to be able to switch em out as needed now. As far as eclipse Cyrus.. .I only put 1 point into it as I don't find it to be a big dps boost (or at least enough to warrant 3/3 and the spam rotation it takes to make it work)... I find that keeping up the IS/Mf and SF till it hits does more consistent dps than the other rotation to make eclipse work. That said, when the 1/3 procs I spam it like a rockstar..

Albany- More resignations from the Albany Dougherty SWAT Team. This time they're Albany Police officers. Friday's two resignations bring to six the number of SWAT members who've quit this week.
Albany Police Chief James Younger, who's in charge of the unit, refuses to answer any questions about the resignations. In a prepared statement, he said he'll raise the squad's standards.
Now, resigning officers are trying to regroup under the Sheriff's office.
Albany Police Chief James Younger won't say much about the crisis that essentially put the Special Weapons and Tactical Team out of business. Friday afternoon, he did say participation is voluntary, and he's opened tryouts to other agencies, including school police and ASU.
He also strengthened requirements. "A judgement shooting course to determine the appropriateness of responses of various scenarios that might require a use of force. Number two, I added a psychological examination," said APD Chief James Younger.
Younger also added a personnel file review, but that's all the chief is saying about the recent resignations. We had several questions today including, how many members remain, does the Chief thinks he's responsible for the resignations, how many have signed up for tryouts, but when we tried to ask....
"No, no questions," said Younger.
Two Albany Police officers, Sgt. Victor Camp and Cpl. Jason Burton, turned in their resignations Friday. With Albany's SWAT Team virtually non-existent, Dougherty County Sheriff Jamil Saba plans to start a new SWAT team. He hopes to make a regional unit like the team that covers Crisp, Tift, and Turner Counties.
"The more people you've got in this SWAT the better you are and the safer it is, because you've got people who can relieve people of their duties right there," said Saba.
Sheriff Saba says they've missed grant and budget opportunities to fund the team, but he plans to find the money somewhere in his budget. Saba also said this new startup will be run by a board of all the involved agencies.
"We need to protect and serve the people of this community that's what we're here for and we need to, do the thing right," said Saba.
Saba said those who resigned from the APD SWAT have said they would rejoin. Starting a SWAT Team won't be cheap for the county. Bullet proof vests alone can cost up to $1,500 a piece.

Dennis prepares to take Lambchop to the vet to be put down.
Fame or infamy? In Ringgold, Georgia, the owners and employees of JJK Security have welcomed America into their unorthodox universe as the stars of AMC s non-scripted workplace series Small Town Security, which returns for a second season Thu., May 9 at 10/9c. In the new season, Irwin goes on a sales offensive and grooms a new apprentice, the loquacious but grammatically-challenged Christa. With her Parkinson s disease in check, Joan is feeling like her frisky self once again and is finally free to let loose. Dennis continues to take exciting steps forward in his gender transition from female to male, while always maintaining his single-minded devotion to JJK and his beloved Joan. As always, Brian keeps the proverbial trains running on time, while Lambchop, Joan's terror of a Chihuahua, keeps up a steady pace of napping, snapping and leg-humping. The rabbit hole continues to run deep in the darkly funny world of Small Town Security. Executive produced by Ken Druckerman and Banks Tarver from Left/Right (This American Life, Boomtown, Mob Wives).
Small Town Security Returns Thu., May 9 at 10/9c.
Trailer for the documentary Musicwood.
Musicwood is a modern twist on a classic story; an urgent battle between the white man and Native Americans, where age-old land disputes upend our simplistic view of the past. The Musicwood documentary follows Bob Taylor (Taylor Guitars), Chris Martin (Martin Guitars), and Dave Berryman of Gibson Guitars - as they unite as a group, drop their competitive differences and travel together into the heart of the largest coastal temperate rain forest in the world. They have to negotiate with Native American loggers to save the centuries old Sitka Spruce trees, before it's too late. The film documents the guitar-makers' struggle to build a relationship with the Native Americans that acknowledges the injustices of their past but fights to preserve the forest for our future. Featuring The Antlers, Steve Earle, Kaki King, Lambchop, Turin Brakes, and Yo La Tengo.
Shari Lewis and Lambchop sing a song.

Critical Essay by Zailig Pollock
In "Political Meeting" A. M. Klein describes an orator addressing an anti-conscription rally in Quebec. The Orator, we are told, is "a country uncle with sunflower seeds in his pockets."

The Chicago Blackhawks may have lost on Sunday afternoon, but Brandon Saad has a reason to smile Monday morning.
That's because the NHL has named him a finalist for the Calder Trophy, given to the league's best rookie. Saad will be going up against Montreal's Brendan Gallagher and Florida's Jonathan Huberdeau for the award and will be looking to be the first Blackhawk to win the Calder since Patrick Kane bested Jonathan Toews for it back in 2008.
Saad has had a relatively quiet playoff run so far, with no points in three games, but he did score 10 goals and pick up 17 assists in 46 regular season games. He was a crucial part of the team's top line for most of the year, playing alongside Toews and Marian Hossa, and was frequently praised for his maturity in that role.
The winner of the Calder, along with the rest of the NHL's major awards, will be announced at some point during the Stanley Cup Finals, with the date to be announced. Normally, the league has an awards ceremony in either Las Vegas or Montreal but this year opted against that kind of event with the Cup Finals ending on June 28, the NHL Entry Draft June 30 and free agency beginning July 5.
