Homeowners threatened with losing their home through a bank foreclosure may benefit from the services of a real estate foreclosure attorney. When you buy a home, you usually get a bank loan and agree to repay it with monthly payments. If you fail to make the payments, the bank can start a foreclosure action, which enables them to sell your home to pay off the loan. Foreclosure laws are very detailed and strict about the process the bank must follow. A foreclosure attorney can explain your options to avoid a foreclosure sale, and help you to decide the best course of action for your situation.

The retailer had 26.4 million unique European visitors in December, comScore reports.
Amazon.com Inc., which is North America's largest online retailer, is the largest in Europe—at least according to unique online visitors, according to a new comScore Inc. report. That finding matches the finding in Internet Retailer's Top 400 Europe that found that Amazon dominates European e-commerce.
In December 26.4 million Europeans visited Amazon's European sites from computers, about the same as a year earlier, making it the most visited e-retailer in Europe. The retailer had 6.6 million unique mobile visitors, 87% more than 3.5 million a year earlier.
Home Retail Group, No. 6 in the Top 400 Europe, had 13.3 million unique visitors in December, making it the second-most visited European retail site. The home and general merchandise chain retailer's traffic was up 5% from December 2011. It also had 2.4 million unique mobile visitors, an 80% increase from 1.3 million a year earlier.
The report, "2013 Europe Digital in Focus," is based on comScore's measurement of web site traffic by European consumers among its panel of 2 million global online consumers as well as data gathered from web servers.
More Europeans are going online, the report finds. It estimates that 408.3 million consumers in Europe used their desktop computer to access the Internet in December, up 7% compared with a year earlier. And it says Turkey has the youngest desktop Internet users in Europe, with nearly 70% of web users under 35 years old.
Russia has the largest online audience in Europe with 61.3 million web users, or 15% of Europe's total of 408.3 million, comScore says. The research firm also notes that, after Italy, Russia has Europe's second-fastest growing online population, up 15% from about 53.3 million in December 2011. In addition, Russia's online population of 61.3 million is about 43% of its total population of about 143 million, according to the latest estimates of Russia's total population posted online by the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency's World Factbook. By comparison, Italy's Internet audience grew the fastest in Europe in December 2012 compared with a year earlier, increasing 17% from 24.5 million to 28.7 million web users, or about 47% of its total population of about 61.5 million.
More European consumers are carrying mobile devices that can access the web, the research also shows. An average of 57% of mobile phone owners living in France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom owned a smartphone for the three months ending in December 2012. Spain had the highest percentage of smartphone owners with 66% of mobile phone owners carrying smartphones and the U.K. came in second at 64%. December 2012 marked the first time that more than half of mobile phone owners in those five European countries owned smartphones.
Those smartphone-touting consumers are accessing videos on their devices more often, comScore finds. While the amount of consumers in those five countries using a desktop computer to access video on the web grew 5% in December 2012 compared to December 2011, the number of mobile video viewers jumped 162%.
Across those five European countries, Samsung leads as the top smartphone handset manufacturer, with 32% market share, followed by Apple Inc. with 21%. Google offers the leading operating system, accounting for 50% of smartphones, followed by Apple's smartphone operating system with a market share of 20%.
"European consumers are more digitally-engaged than ever before and their use of mobile, Internet-enabled devices is redefining the media landscape," says Paul Goode, chief advisor of industry relations for comScore in Europe. "Advertisers, agencies and media owners need to understand the rising number of multi-platform consumers and the more complex digital ecosystem that has developed over the past years. Insights about key trends and underlying drivers enable clients to manage their digital investments effectively."
Amazon is No. 1 in the Internet Retailer Top 400 Europe.
Consumers talking about the Oscars on social media are also engaging with Wal-Mart, data shows.

No points, no money. It is becoming a recurring theme for Avram Grant, who oversaw Portsmouth's demise as a Premier League club and is now trying to ensure he does not do the same thing at West Ham United.
So far, it has not gone well. Grant's men have lost 3-0 away to managerless Aston Villa, 3-1 at home to Bolton Wanderers and 3-0 away to Manchester United, a record of no points, one goal, and nine conceded. Bottom of the table, looking up at the rest of the division, a familiar view for the softly-spoken former Israel national team coach.
The last team to start a Premier League season with three straight defeats was Portsmouth 12 months ago, and Grant does not need reminding how that ended up. To make matters worse Grant welcomes his other former club Chelsea today, who are playing with all the swagger you might expect of Double-winners. Lose today, and it will be the worst start in the Hammers' long history.
The financial situation at West Ham is nowhere near as bad as it was at Portsmouth, but Grant admitted yesterday he had not been given as much money as he had been led to believe. In fact, he said he had more money for players at Portsmouth.
Grant said: "The financial situation [at West Ham], I knew it before. I thought that we can spend maybe more, but we know the situation. At Portsmouth I had more money to spend, maybe £5m even £6m. But here we couldn't do it."
Grant is finding it tougher than he expected. He took over as Gianfranco Zola's successor in the summer in the belief that there would be a major overhaul of the playing squad with everyone except Scott Parker put up for sale and money made available for a few new, young faces. Instead he has only been able to tinker at the fringes of the squad while only four players have been shipped out. "It's not a secret that we wanted to do more things but also we need to remember that the financial situation is a problem," Grant said. "I think we know the situation before. More or less."
He admitted finding it hard to see the millions spent by the likes of Stoke City, Sunderland and Birmingham City this summer. "I'll be honest and I can tell you that I wish I had the same money that they had. I think with this money we could do a lot and we could improve a lot the team. But the situation is that we could not afford it here, so this is the situation and I cannot do nothing about this," he said.
Friends say Grant will not be bothered by the recent rumours that he is fighting to keep his job already. Not so long ago West Ham used to be synonymous with stability. Five full-time managers in the first 94 years of the club demonstrated a remarkable level of loyalty and consistency.
That, like pretty much everything else in football, has all changed in the past decade. Grant is the sixth manager since 2001, and the seventh may not be too far away if he cannot turn around results pretty quickly, although the club's co-owners David Gold and David Sullivan do have a history of sticking by their managers, despite their treatment of Zola last season.
Grant's uneviable task is made all the harder by the outspoken tendencies of the aforementioned Gold and Sullivan. The latter was in full flow last weekend, with an attack on several of the foreign players at Upton Park, claiming they "couldn't be bothered".
Sullivan was not naming names, but the likes of Radoslav Kovac, Julien Faubert, Herita Ilunga, Luis Boa Morte, Valon Behrami and Jonathan Spector might have felt their ears burning. What's more, all eight of the new signings made by West Ham this past summer, none of them big names for big money, are foreigners.
"It doesn't help me and it doesn't bother me. He's the chairman and if he wants to do something he can do it, as long as it doesn't hurt the team. And I don't think he hurt the team, for the moment," Grant said.
Grant may give debuts to new recruits Victor Obinna and Lars Jacobsen today, while Behrami could get his first game of the season in what will surely be a damage limitation exercise.
Bookies were yesterday offering odds of 10-1 on a West Ham victory today. One thing in the Hammers' favour is that Grant has shown in the past he is at his best when the odds are stacked against him.

Researchers at The New York's Albert Einstein College of Medicine has demonstrated a new technique that would help them to measure the health of human genetic material in relation to a patient's age.
Dr. Gil Atzmon said that he hopes the dissemination of the technique which measures telomere length will in fact lead to the development of a genetic thermometer in order to asses patient's health in relation to other individuals of the same age.
The telomeres have recently gained attention because they serve as caps to chromosomes, and they mark the ends of genetic material and ensure that the genes do not degrade as cells divide. Telomerase activity declines as people age and as a result telomeres shorten and can be responsible for age related afflictions and some cancers. Overall health can impact how quickly these telomeres degrade.
Dr. Atzmon explained, "Think of telomere length as though it was a thermometer. It measures the health of your genetic material, it tells you how fit you are in relation to the age you are. If you have longer telomeres you are in good shape, if you have shorter telomeres you are less fit for your age and are not in good health."
Adoption of this technique will allow clinicians to monitor a patient's health as they are treated, by comparing telomere degradation of a sick patient to other patients with that disease and to determine if treatment is slowing degradation.

Aqua Park Hotel: "Magical sea view location on Kas Peninsula" Kas Hotel Tip by Grevil
Kas Hotels: 23 reviews and 41 photos
We stayed 2 nights at the Aqua Park Hotel on the Kas Peninsula in September 2011.
The rooms are simple, but with all the main facilities you need - air con. fridge, balcony with sea view - good buffet breakfast - 3 hot dishes, inc. eggs - several cerials, and the standard cheeses, breads and pastries common in Turkey - along with the good ol' cucumbers, olives and tomatoes of course. Tasty dinners also buffet style.
Hotel has lovely swimming pool area (salt water) and also ladders down from the cliffs for those who like to swim in the sea.
We found the staff friendly and attentive.
Minibus went past the hotel for those wanting to go into Kas township.
Unique Qualities: This is NOT a super luxurious hotel. The outstanding feature of this hotel was its position - at the end of the Kas Peninsula with breathtaking views of the Greek Island of Kastelorizo and the surrounding sea and coast.
It is lovely as a summer holiday hotel to relax by the pool and take in the views.
BTW, outdoor breakfast area makes good use of the views too!
The hotel is made up of several individual 2 storey blocks of 6 or 8 units - rather than one very large hotel building. Must warn - quite a few steps down from the road - if stairs is a problem.
Address: Cukurbag Yarimadasi, Kas 07580 (Antalya District) Turkey
Price Comparison: about average
Directions: Follow signs from Kas township to the Kas Peninsula - or take a Dolmus (Kas Peninsula) from the town Square (Meydan) in Kas.
Phone: +90 242 836 1902
Price: US$80-120

Could an electronic device tell us what food would make us ill?
12/01/2009 08:47:48 »
Paul Anderson asked the Naked Scientists:
Hi Chris and team,
In every country the locals build up a certain amount of immunity to local bugs, etc, but as a foreigner, if I am not careful I am likely to end up with the local version of Delhi belly and spend my time visiting the taigh beag frequently.
It would be so wonderful if someone could invent a small gadget which one could wear on one's wrist, like a watch, but which contained a chip loaded with one's medical state, especially what was one's immunity. One could then move one's wrist close to the plate of goats eyes or whatever the local dish was, and the gadget would either beep or flash or just give you a reading to say that one should somehow avoid eating the local delicacy.
It's just an idea that came to me this morning and I suppose everyone will say it is just science fiction, but it would certainly be a handy gadget. The police have breathalysers, so it is not such a stupid idea.
I used to think I had a caste iron stomach and could eat anything, but I feel sure that after a few bad experiences overseas, I tend to approach everything a lot more gingerly now, which is a pity because it is no fun just eating McDonald's in every country or foreign situation I am in, lest I catch something. Also, I don't want the locals thinking I am insulting them by not eating their locally prepared food.
What do you think?

I have a tape at work that I occasionally show my students. It is called "The Science of Star Wars" and is about all he stuff that was invented by those who watched Star Wars when they were younger and are now engineers. I remember Dr. Spock having a device like this. Will there be one day a show called "The Science of Star Trek"?
But I hear you. I had food poisoning once. NOT FUN! I cannot remember clearly, but that night I may have pondered regretfully that I do not have such a device.
The device would have to be tuned to each person's digestive system. The locals can eat their food without problems. It is the foreigners who suffer easily. Unless we are talking about really dangerous germs.

Essentially, I think what the device will have to do is two things:
1. Identify the Food, then
2. Tell you if you'll be fine eating it
Now with the electronic nose as proposed by RD, it might well be able to detect the chemical components of the aroma but it might be hard to determine exactly what kind of food it is. As we all know we like to use herbs and sauces to enhance the flavour of our food which may result in an unfortunate identification of Chicken Briyani as a giant pile of herbs. If I had a good amount of alcohol to douse the dish in (i.e. extremely drunken chicken) I'm pretty sure I could fool a breathalyser.
If we're just to consider allergies, it might also be difficult. Being allergic to Coconuts may or may not be an issue of being allergic to just one chemical component - it might be everything in combination. Also, not all the chemical components may vaporize, so isolating the chemicals from the aroma may not be sufficient.
However, if we are simply to detect the smell of rotten food (i.e. the distinctive smell of rotten oysters) it may be much easier, but I don't think that's the whole point of the question.
Perhaps a more feasible device would be one that keeps track of what dishes are available, it's main components, any local diseases associated with the components and your allergies. Using some database analysis, it should be able to tell you if it is at least reasonably safe unless it really is poisoned.
Everything starts as Science Fiction. Maybe someday we'll have this kind of thing floating around. =)

That was my suggestion:
to electronically detect the smell produced by the bacteria in the sheep's eyeballs which are past their "best before" date.
There is current technology called
antibody microarrays
which I think could be used to simultaneously test a sample for multiple allergens.

Sometimes where there's smoke there isn't fire.
The thought that visiting CFL teams stay in Burlington instead of Hamilton when they play against the Tiger-Cats seems to be a thing of the past.
Councillor Jason Farr plans to ask city staff on Wednesday to investigate which Canadian Football League teams book hotel rooms in our city on game days.
CHML News contacted all seven CFL teams which stay overnight in Hamilton and all but one confirm they stay in Steeltown.
Only the B.C. Lions stay in Burlington, blaming the lack of a late checkout time at their usual Hamilton hotel.
Below is a list of the CFL teams, and where they stay when they play against the Ticats:
Toronto Argonauts – don't stay overnight on game days in Hamilton
Ottawa RedBlacks – Hamilton
Montreal Alouettes – Hamilton
Winnipeg Blue Bombers – Hamilton
Saskatchewan Roughriders – Hamilton
Edmonton Eskimos – Hamilton
Calgary Stampeders – Hamilton
B.C. Lions – Burlington

Romney on Huckabee II
Romney attacks Huckabee again with false and misleading claims.
A Project of The Annenberg Public Policy Center
Romney attacks Huckabee again with false and misleading claims.
Q: Do members of Congress pay Social Security taxes?
A: Yes, ever since 1984.
Q: Is it the "Democratic" Party or the "Democrat" Party?
A: The proper term is "Democratic Party."
Summary The U.S. Chamber of Commerce is running a TV ad alleging that "lawsuit abuse" is costing "your family" $3,500 a year. That's false. The figure is from a study […]
Q: Did President Trump sign an executive order allowing foreign nationals from various countries to enter the U.S. without a visa?
A: No. That bogus claim was made in a series of articles published by fake news websites.

Tonight is the sixteenth studio album by David Bowie, released in 1984. It followed his most commercially successful album, Let's Dance. He described the album, released immediately after his previous album's tour wrapped up, as an effort to "keep my hand in, so to speak," and to retain the new audience that he had recently acquired…
On the basis of Tonight, it appears that David Bowie didn't have a clear idea of how to follow the platinum success of Let's Dance. Instead of breaking away from the stylized pop of "Let's Dance" and "China Girl," Bowie delivers another record in the same style. Apart from the single "Blue Jean," none of the material equals the songs on Let's Dance, but it's appealing pop-soul and dance stylings helped make Tonight another platinum success.
Following the enormous success of the vibrant and upbeat LET'S DANCE, David Bowie's follow-up TONIGHT was a slicker yet more enigmatic-sounding collection. Full of synthesizers and polite Arif Mardin arrangements, this record allowed Bowie to indulge himself, even if that meant not putting out LET'S DANCE II. Three songs were resurrected from the '70s Iggy Pop catalog and another newer one was co-written with Pop ("Dancing With The Big Boys.") A 1977 Pop song was used as the title track, on which Bowie duetted with Tina Turner (who was in the middle of a comeback herself) and turned it into a reggae-flavored love song. Elsewhere, the Thin White Duke paid tribute to the Beach Boys by covering "God Only Knows" and scored a hit with "Blue Jean."
Essential: a masterpiece of rock music
Deeply inspired by the rise and fall of Vince Taylor (whom Bowie incidentally met in 1971). David/Ziggy will mix this story with science-fiction themes, the atmosphere of the star rock system mixing the whole stuff with his androgynous look. Ziggy will appear as such on stage. Intelligent glam rock? Probably.

Big restaurant in a small village. Greek cuisine very good, high quality. They can try with better service.
Thank you very much!! Hope see you again back soon !!
We ate here during our two week stay on western Crete. The food was of very high quality, to a gourmet standard, with a wide ranging, extensive menu of genuine cretan dishes. Service was excellent, prompt and very efficient. The view across the bay is an added attraction. If you are staying in western Crete you must visit it at...
Our party of five including two young children dined here twice in early july 2016.
The restaurant is situated in a small village with a view across fields towards the ocean. The building / terrasses are beautifully designed for the restaurant with attention to every detail. There is beautiful vegetation surrounding the tables.
The attention to detail is apparent in...
Indeed it is difficult to say this maybe the best food in Crete, since Crete has amazing food in general! We went there after a long day at the beach with our swimming suits on, nice and relaxed. Immediately from the waiters smile, I knew we were in a nice place. They helped us choose among several good looking dishes...

The fis is absolutely amazing - best place to eat when you want something else than fish and seafood
Very nice reasturant with nice view..nice food and nice enviroment.traditional food.many deserts and fruits in a bufe 4 the end.excellent
The best restaurant ever with traditional Greek food! I recommend it 100%, you cannot miss this place if you go to visit Balos Lagoon by foot.
I'd like to make a premise: judging something "one shot" is always unfair. Several things could go wrong and sometimes even a little disappointment let your expectations down. Given that, i really couldn't understand the 5,4 and not even 3 stars reviews: the food was far from being eccellent. we ordered the oven baked lamb with honey marinade and it...
