Garter Snake Care Sheet - Garter Snakes as Pets
© 2015, Brandon Cornett | All rights reserved
This care sheet pertains to garter snakes in general. There are several different species of garter snake found within the United States, but the captive requirements are generally the same for all of them. So the information in this care sheet can be used to keep any type of garter snake as a pet.
My Experience with Garter Snake Care
When I was a kid, we used to catch garter snakes out of the wild and put them into homemade cages. (I don't recommend this, by the way.) Back then, there weren't very many books on how to care for these snakes, and there certainly weren't any websites. In fact, the Internet did not even exist back then. So the care information we obtained usually came from the friend of a friend -- someone who once took care of a pet snake. In other words, we weren't very educated on garter snake care and keeping.
Fortunately, a lot has changed since those days. Today there are literally thousands of websites that offer reptile care in general, and garter snake information in particular. You can also find many books available on the subject.
But I'm going to save you some time by giving you this comprehensive guide to garter snake care and keeping. In this article, we're going to talk about housing your pet snake, providing a proper habitat, feeding the snake, and other important maintenance topics. By the time you finish reading this care sheet, you will know how to keep your pet snake healthy for the years to come.
This care sheet is broken into six main sections. These sections reflect the most important aspects of garter snake care and keeping. Here are some shortcuts to the primary sections:
The Garter Snake Cage and Habitat
Let's start by talking about the kind of habitat you need to provide to keep your garter snake healthy. What's the difference between a cage and habitat, anyway? We need to clarify this, because you'll hear me use these two terms separately, and they do mean different things.
The cage is simply a plastic box or a glass terrarium that contains your pet snake. But a cage alone does not make a habitat. The habitat includes everything needed to keep your snake healthy -- it includes the cage itself, the substrate lining the bottom of the cage, various furniture items that you will put into the cage, and the heating and lighting devices. When you combine all of these things into one enclosure, the cage becomes a habitat.
So, what kind of habitat does a garter snake need? The first thing you need to do is make sure the cage is escape proof. You've probably heard people say that snakes are escape artists. This is true in a general sense, but it's especially true for garter snakes. These are slender snakes that can fit through tiny openings. They're also very active in exploring their surroundings. Don't be surprised if you see your garter snake cruising around its cage for several hours every day. They are also very good climbers, like most snakes. What does this mean? It means that your garter snake will vanish from its habitat if you give it the chance to do so.
Here's a good rule of thumb to keep in mind. If the snake's head can fit, the entire body can fit. This means that a garter snake only needs a tiny crevice or hole, roughly the size of its head, in order to escape. My advice is to buy a cage that's designed for housing snakes. There are some high-quality plastic cages on the market today, and you could also make do with a glass terrarium as long as it has a secure lid.
Garter snakes are not very big, when compared to some of the other North American snakes. An adult garter will generally average around 3 feet in length. They are also fairly slender. Because of this, you don't need a huge cage to house your pet garter snake. A 20-gallon terrarium will suffice, or a 3-foot-long plastic cage. These would offer more than enough space for your pet snake. Some people keep their garter snakes in much smaller cages than this, but I believe it's important to give snakes plenty of room to move around.
There are other benefits of having a larger cage. Later on in this care sheet, when we talk about heating the cage, we will discuss the thermal gradient. This means having a difference in temperature from one end of the cage to the other. It's much easier to establish a thermal gradient in a larger cage, when compared to a smaller one. It's hard to maintain a proper temperature gradient (or range) in a 10-gallon terrarium, because it's such a small and confined space. But with a larger cage (like a 3-foot-long plastic model or a 20- to 30-gallon terrarium) there will be more temperature variety from one end to the other. This is what you want -- a nice range of temperatures.
Choosing a Substrate for the Cage
The "substrate" is simply the material that lines the bottom of the cage. Your options include newspaper, paper towels, cypress mulch, and a paper-based product called CareFresh bedding.
A lot of snake keepers also use aspen shavings for their cages, but I don't recommend this for garter snakes. Aspen shavings tend to dry out the snake's enclosure, and garter snakes need a certain level of humidity for proper shedding and other health reasons. So I recommend avoiding aspen shavings completely.
Newspaper is not very attractive to look at, but it's cheap and easy to replace. So newspaper is certainly an option. Cypress mulch is more attractive and naturalistic, but it's also more expensive and a bit harder to replace. Now you can see the balance between appearance and ease of maintenance. The simpler your snake cage is, the easier it will be for you to clean. The more naturalistic the cage, the harder it is to clean. So it's a trade-off. My advice is to find something that works for you, in terms of both appearance and maintenance.
Cypress mulch is a good substrate to use if your garter snake has problems shedding its skin. You can find it at Home Depot, or just about any place with a garden center. Cypress mulch is actually a bit moist when you pull it out of the bag, and it can be lightly misted with a spray bottle to increase the humidity inside the cage. Even if you don't mist it, cypress mulch will increase the relative humidity in the cage. So if you start off with a substrate like newspaper, and your garter snake has trouble shedding its skin, you might want to switch to cypress mulch and see if that helps.
Cage Furniture for Your Garter Snake
When setting up a habitat for your pet garter snake, there are several types of cage furniture you should include. They include the water bowl, hiding areas, and climbing surfaces.
The Water Bowl
The first one is the water bowl. Actually, a lot of garter snake keepers refer to this as a "pool," because it should be big enough for the snake to swim and soak in. The water bowl is multi-purpose. The snake will drink from it, it may swim in the bowl if it needs extra moisture, and it may even eat fish from the bowl.
We will talk about feeding techniques later, and how they relate to the water bowl. But for now, just know that you should include a large enough bowl for your snake to drink from and also to soak in. I recommend filling the bowl halfway up, because garter snakes can splash when they get in and out of the bowl, and also when they eat fish from the bowl. So you can save yourself some cleaning effort by having a larger bowl that's only half filled with water.
You will need to clean the water bowl as needed to keep the water fresh. If your snake is only drinking from the bowl, but doesn't actually climb into it very often, you can clean the bowl once a week. If your garter snake is frequently getting in and out of the bowl, I recommend cleaning it twice a week. If you offer live fish to your snake by putting them in the bowl, you will need to clean it immediately after the meal. Lastly, if your snake ever poops in or on the water bowl, you obviously need to clean it immediately. Those of the general rules for garter snake water bowls.
Snake Hides
Another important piece of cage furniture is what I refer to as a snake hide. This is simply a hiding area where your snake can conceal itself within the cage. In the wild, snakes spend a lot of their time hiding from predators. In fact, they basically move from one hiding area to another in order to hunt for food, to regulate their body temperatures, to seek a mate, etc. This is true of all snakes, and that includes garter snakes. Here's the bottom line. If you want your pet garter snake to be healthy and live a full life, you need to offer at least one hiding place in the cage.
One hide is good, but two are even better. I recommend placing one hide on the cooler side of the snake cage, and one on the warmer side. We will talk about the thermal gradient in just a moment, so this will all make more sense.
What happens if your snake cannot hide? If your pet garter snake doesn't have somewhere to conceal itself within the cage, it won't be able to pursue its natural instincts. It will also feel more exposed and less secure within the cage. This could result in a variety of health problems. For one thing, you may find that the snake refuses to eat. Over-exposure can also lead to various stress-related illnesses, which could eventually result in death. Fortunately, this is all very easy to avoid. All you have to do is offer some hiding places for your pet snake, and it should be just fine.
Climbing Furniture
The first two pieces of cage furniture we talked about (the water bowl and the snake hides) are mandatory requirements. They are not optional. Your pet garter snake needs a water bowl large enough to drink from and to soak in, and it also needs one or two places to hide within the cage. The next item we are going to talk about is an optional piece of the habitat. And that is a snake climb.
You can place a piece of driftwood in your garter snake's enclosure, or one of the rubber vines sold in pet stores, to give the snake something to climb on. It may or may not use the climb, but it certainly doesn't hurt to offer it. My advice is to offer something for it to climb on, and see if it goes for it or not. If it ends up ignoring the climbing furniture, you can take it out to give the snake more floor space. Easy enough!
Heating the Habitat
All snakes depend on their environment for temperature regulation. We humans, on the other hand, can regulate our body temperatures from within. That's what makes it possible for us to have an internal body temperature in the upper 90s (Fahrenheit) even when it's 30 degrees outside. But reptiles cannot do this. In the wild, they rely on the sun and the warm surfaces of the earth to regulate their body temperature. That is why snakes don't exist in extremely cold areas.
What does this mean to you, as a snake keeper? It means that you need to provide some form of heat for your pet snake, and also that you must monitor temperatures on a regular basis. Garter snakes will do well with a thermal gradient of 70° - 72° (Fahrenheit) on the cooler side, and 80° to 82° on the warmer side. This is what I mean when I refer to a "thermal gradient" -- it's the difference in temperatures between the cooler and warmer sides of the cage.
It's important to give your garter snake these temperature options, so that it can regulate its body temperature as needed. If the snake needs to warm itself up, it can simply move to the warmer / basking side of the cage. If it gets overheated and needs to cool down, it moves to the cooler side of the cage (or possibly into the water bowl). This is known as thermoregulation, which is the act of regulating body temperature by moving to different locations.
So how do you heat your garter snake cage to the proper temperatures? Well, you start with a cage that's room temperature, and then you heat one end of it to create a basking area. There are many different types of heating devices available for snake cages today. The type of device you choose will largely depend on the kind of cage you have.
Heat Lamps
If you're using a glass terrarium with a screen lid on top of it, your best option is probably a heat lamp with a dome around it. You simply place the dome on top of the screen lid, and the heat would radiate downward into the cage. By placing the heat lamp on one side of the cage only, you will create some type of thermal gradient within the cage.
You'll need to use some kind of thermometer to keep track of the cage temperatures. You can buy adhesive peel-and-stick thermometers and place them inside the cage. You can also use a digital thermometer with a wire probe that you would insert into the cage. Lastly, you can use an infrared temperature gun to "shoot" the temperatures at various points within the cage. The important thing is that you measure the temperatures in some way, so you know what's happening inside the cage.
Heating Pads and Tapes
In addition to heat lamps, there are several other products that can help you control the heat in your garter snake habitat. You can also use keypads or heating tape to warm one side of the cage. These products are generally adhesive on one side, and they are designed to stick to the underside of the cage.
Regardless of whether you use a heat lamp or heating pads, you'll probably want to invest in a rheostat. This allows you to control the amount of energy given off by your heating device. It's similar to the dimmer switch on a lamp, in that it allows you to dial the output up or down as needed. If the heating pad (or the lamp bulb) is too strong for the cage, the temperature will quickly become too hot. Temperatures that are too high are just as dangerous for your pet garter snake as temperatures that are too low. So you need to regulate your heating devices in order to reach the ideal temperatures. Rheostats are pretty cheap, especially if you buy the basic plug-in type available at most pet stores.
Lighting the Habitat
For many years, there has been an ongoing debate about snakes and UV lighting. It's well known that certain types of lizards need UV light (particularly UVB) for their basic health and wellbeing. Chameleons and iguanas are prime examples of this requirement. Both of these lizards need high levels of UVB lighting in order to survive in captivity.
But snakes are a different story. Many snake keepers don't use any type of lighting at all, or only the natural light that comes in through windows. Their snakes often live long and healthy lives under these conditions.
Here's how I feel about this issue. The debate over snakes and lighting can be resolved fairly easily. The best way to keep your pet garter snake healthy for its entire life is to duplicate its natural environment as much as possible. Obviously, you will never create a cage environment that duplicates the natural world. But you can give your snake everything it needs to survive. In the wild, garter snakes will bask in the direct sun to regulate their temperatures. They also get plenty of UV exposure from the sun, and I believe this offers health benefits in snakes as it does with lizards. So here's what it all boils down to. Your garter snake could probably live a long life without any supplemental lighting. But it will probably be healthier, and live an even longer life, if you provide a few hours of UV light each day.
Fluorescent lighting also benefits you, as the keeper, because you will be better able to see your snake inside its enclosure. My advice is to use a basic fluorescent light with a UV reptile bulb, and to run it for about 8 to 10 hours a day. These light fixtures are cheap, and you can put them on a lamp timer so you don't have to worry about turning them on and off.
Your pet garter snake will also benefit from the light cycle of day and night. Your house will naturally darken as the sun sets each day. But by using supplemental light through a fluorescent fixture, you will have a more defined light cycle in the room where you keep the snake. I believe this improves the health of any captive animal, especially those that are active during the day. Garter snakes are diurnal reptiles, which means they are most active during the daylight hours. So it only makes sense to give your pet snake a daily light cycle to support its biorhythms.
Feeding Your Garter Snake
Now we get to one of the most popular topics among snake keepers. It's time to talk about feeding your pet garter snake to keep it healthy. Let's start by discussing what these snakes eat in the wild.
Garter snakes can live and thrive in a wide variety of habitats. They can be found in fields and forests, and also near bodies of water. Because of this, they eat a wide variety of prey animals. The garter snakes that live near ponds and lakes will eat a variety of fish, frogs, and other aquatic animals. Garter snakes that live further away from bodies of water will be more inclined to eat rodents. And regardless of where they live, most garter snakes will gladly feast on earthworms and slugs as well.
So what should you feed your pet snake in captivity? Well, if you can get it to eat mice, those would meet most of the snake's nutritional requirements. But your garter snake may not eat rodents, so you'll have to offer something else. You can also give your snake earthworms and a variety of fish to support its nutritional requirements. In fact, that's one of the reasons I recommended having a large water bowl, earlier in this care sheet. You can actually put live fish in the water bowl and allow the garter snake to hunt them right out of the bowl.
This used to be one of the most thrilling aspects of snake keeping when I was a kid. We used to get guppies and other small fish for our baby garter snakes, and goldfish for the larger adult snakes. We would put one or two fish in a bowl and let them swim around, and the garter snake would take care of the rest. The snake would climb up on the edge of the bowl and see the fish swimming around, and it would instantly go into hunting mode. The snake would lunge its head under water, snatch one of the fish, and then bring it out of the water to swallow it down.
Earthworms are even easier to offer. You can simply put them on a plastic tray (to prevent them from getting covered with substrate material), and the snake will do the rest. But be careful where you get your earthworms. If you get them from an area that has a lot of pesticide or lawn chemicals, those elements can be passed on to your pet garter snake. You can dig for worms, find them in the street after a heavy rain, or buy them from the bait store. They store will probably call them "nightcrawlers" -- but a worm is a worm.
Feeding your pet garter snake fish only is usually not enough to support its nutritional requirements. So if you have one of those snakes that simply refuses to eat rodents, and you have to rely on fish, I recommend adding earthworms into the mix as well. By offering a combination of fish and earthworms, you will keep your garter snake healthy for years to come. Whole fish (live ones) are more nutritious than slices of thawed fish fillet.
Some reptile veterinarians recommend dusting the worms with a basic vitamin powder once in a while. I don't know if garter snakes truly need this, but it might not hurt to supplement the meals in this way. You can buy reptile vitamin powders from most pet stores, and also through reptile supply websites. My advice is to do this occasionally, but not for every meal. For example, you might add the vitamin powders to every third meal. This gives your pet snake a chance to properly absorb those nutrients, and prevents the buildup of excess vitamins within its system. If you feed your garter snake slices of thawed fish fillet (instead of live fish), you should supplement with vitamin B1 (thiamin).
How Often to Feed the Snake
If your garter snake is eating mostly eartworms, with the occassional fish, you should feed it about twice a week. Snakes that eat mostly fish (more nutritious) with some earthworms in the mix can be fed about once a week. Likewise, garter snakes that are fed rodents (even more nutritious) can be fed once a week or so.
Handling Your Pet Snake
All snakes can be a bit squirmy when you first bring them home, and garter snakes are surely no exception to that rule. In addition to wriggling around and trying to escape from your grasp, you may find that your pet garter snake tends to musk when you pick it up. When I say "musk," I mean the snake will actually release fecal material from its vent when it feels threatened. Sort of like a "poop-and-pee" defense system, to put it plainly.
Fortunately, this type of behavior will fade over time. With regular handling -- such as once a week -- your garter snake will become more accustomed to being picked up and held. It requires patience and persistence, but the day will come eventually.
You need to be especially careful when handling a baby garter snake, because they can easily slip out of your grasp. Not only are they squirmier than adult snakes, but they're also much smaller and harder to grasp. My advice is to hold your pet snake over its enclosure at first, until you get used to its behavior. The last thing you want to do is drop the snake outside of its enclosure, because this could result in injury or escape.
Here are some more tips for handling a pet snake properly.
Ongoing Maintenance and Monitoring
So now we have covered the basic elements of garter snake care and keeping. We talked about how to house your pet snake, how to achieve the proper temperatures, and how to feed the snake. The last thing I want to touch on is cage maintenance and basic health monitoring.
Most health problems in pet snakes are the results of poor husbandry practices. In other words, the keeper does not properly maintain the snake and the habitat. If you create a good habitat for your pet garter snake, and you feed it a proper diet, it will probably live a long and healthy life. So you need to monitor all aspects of the snake's health and habitat, and perform maintenance functions as needed.
Here are some things you need to monitor:
- Temperatures inside the snake's cage
- The cage cleanliness
- Water bowl cleanliness and presence of fresh drinking water
- The snake's general health and appearance
We talked about temperatures in detail earlier. So let's talk about cage cleaning for a moment. Garter snakes can be pretty messy. They eat more frequently than most snakes, and they have a pretty quick metabolism. You know what this means! You will soon find that your garter snake poops its cage up rather quickly. So you will need to clean the cage often enough to maintain a proper habitat. I recommend doing a complete cage cleaning once a month, and spot clean as needed. The water bowl should be cleaned once a week at the very least, and it should be cleaned immediately after having fish in it or when it gets pooped on.
It's also important to monitor your snake's general appearance and behavior. By looking at your pet garter snake on a daily basis, you will become familiar with its behavior. That way, when something seems out of the ordinary, you will be able to spot it. This is the key to monitoring the health of any pet snake. These animals do not whine or whimper the way a dog or cat would, so you have to be extra observant to spot any sign of illness in your pet snake.
Conclusion and Summary
I hope you have enjoyed this garter snake care sheet, and that it helps you create a proper environment for your snake. You can find dozens of additional care sheets on this website, covering a wide variety of topics. I've linked to several of these pages within the article above. So if you haven't done so, check out the hyperlinks I placed throughout this care sheet.
The Lap of Luxury
I thought you might enjoy this photo my wife took:
This amusing photo shows how garter snakes like to bask, in order to soak up the sun. This snake was in my backyard, chilling out on a raft. It was also waiting for frogs to appear. We get frogs in the stone waterfall (off camera), and the garter snakes chase them all over the place. It's like Wild Kingdom back there!

When I wrote about my 2016 resolutions a few weeks back, so many of you told me that you were inspired by resolution #1 (and I'm still totally excited about that one too!!). But #4 – getting organised – seemed to really resonate with people too, and I thought I might give you an update on how I'm using five simple steps to get organised – in 2016 – and beyond!
Let's start.
1. Get a Day Planner
I'm an enthusiastic iCal girl so even though I have actually been eying off pretty day planners for a long time I kept telling myself that I didn't need one / wouldn't use one, because tech is best you know. But the truth is – it's still really nice to have somewhere to write things down. Having deprived myself of a planner, I was constantly scribbling notes and to-do lists down on random bits of paper anyway, which was crazy! So I finally grew up and got a planner.
I found this gorgeous Paul Coelho planner online (I ordered mine through Book Depository but they're currently sold out) and it's so freaking good to finally have somewhere to write my day notes. I can happily report that iCal is still in full effect – but now I'm able to sit down at the beginning of each week (and again at the beginning of each month) and jot any upcoming events into my planner. That process alone helps highlight my deadlines and gives me more creative control of my time. Love.
2. Be Realistic
I totally overextended myself in 2015. Trying to set up a new business, especially one that spills into both the real and the digital realm, is all-consuming and while I'm not at all shy about throwing myself into the deep end and working really hard I just didn't get the work/life balance right last year.
Looking back now with some insight and perspective I can see that I wasn't realistic about how much time I had to give to my business endeavours. I have a family; two young boys, a beautiful home (that needs lots of maintenance) and a husband whose work requires a lot of travel. I also have friends and more family and a body to nourish and cherish, but none of these things (ie. the most important things in my life) got enough attention last year. So, this year part of my organisation planning involves starting from a place where I am realistic about how much time I can afford to allocate to all of the essentials areas.
I've decided that in order for my work/life balance to actually work I need to take one day a week out of my business diary and give it to 'lifey' endeavours. That means instead of aiming to work 40+ hours this year I have lowered the bar and set a much more realistic 30 hour work week for myself. This one step is both thrilling and terrifying at the same time!
3. Be Effective
And the only way I can justify pulling a quarter of my weekly work-week hours out is by being more effective.
I need to ensure that the hours I can give my business are focused and productive or this whole plan won't work. In essence being effective is at the heart of living an organised life. It's the whole point, right?
Which means that it is time to sit down and brainstorm ways to get things done more effectively across all the key areas: operations / email / social media / financials / client liaison / work flow / other important things. For me, that includes the time I spend blogging and the way I collate story ideas and photos and even the work flow for my photo editing in Lightroom. And as I will be setting up a webstore selling fine art prints of my photos in the next few months part of my effectiveness plan also needs to provide a seamless ordering system.
At the end of the day, we can all benefit from looking at what we are doing, acknowledge the areas where time is wasted, and then get busy dreaming up creative solutions that make us more effective.
4. Be Accountable
Being truly effective means being aware of and accountable for your outcomes.
Personally, it means that I need to get better at tracking analytics and gathering feedback. It's also about making sure that my readers, customers, clients and collaborators are all happy and that my work effort is purposeful and worthwhile. Recognising this has led me to start discussions with a few potential mentors across different areas of my business, with the knowledge that it's time to wrestle some stats, stay accountable and on track for my goals.
5. Plan Ahead
If you are anything like me – you relish living in the moment. I love to throw ideas around and get excited and fully immersed in the thing that I'm buzzed on right now. I give this moment 150% of my energy and passion. It's a cool attribute to have in lots of ways but I think historically it has been to the detriment of my planning and goal setting. So this step is about taking the time to brainstorm the year ahead, looking at what we want to achieve both personally and professionally and making some plans. It's goal setting 101. Get some dates in place and some budgeting allocated and then look back at step four ( : be accountable).
The last but-very-important thing I want to add is that amongst all of this organising there MUST be space for spontaneous, creative, free time. Getting organised was just one part of my New Year resolutions and it needs to be considered as the facilitator of the other more playful elements. So get organised in the spirit of giving yourself time to play and time to create art and to be true to yourself and your wildest dreams. Do it authentically, and live your life beautifully.

One of the best ways to make money as a real estate agent is utilizing your circle of influence. Selling homes to your friends and family is a great way to get started, especially if your friends and family refer people to you as well. However, some agents worry that they cannot be successful if they are new to a town or will be moving to a new town, because they have no friends or family in that town. Although it helps to have friends and family, you can succeed at real estate whether you have lived in a town for 30 years or you are brand new. If you only sold houses to your friends and family, you not would last very long in the business, unless you have a huge family!
What is the key to being a successful real estate agent when you are new?
Being a successful real estate agent is about finding clients that are likely to buy houses, doing a great job with those clients and then reminding those clients how awesome you are. There is a lot you must do to become a successful real estate agent, but you don't have to have friends and family nearby to be successful. Some of the best ways to get clients are listed below.
- Open houses
- Advertising listings
- Building channel accounts
- Networking
- Choosing the right broker
All of these activities can be done by an agent who is brand new to a town.
How much money do real estate agents make?
How will the right broker help a real estate agent in a new town get business?
Choosing the right broker is possibly the most important task an agent will do. Too many agents choose brokers based on the commission split, instead of the training and support offered. Many brokers will not only offer great training but also leads from floor calls or other sources. Choosing the right broker is the difference between success and failure for many agents.
Here is a great article on how to choose the perfect broker.
How do open houses help agents succeed in a new town?
Open houses are a great way to get new clients. Many buyers who are in the market for a house and are not represented by a real estate agent, will go to open houses. With the right techniques, a good agent should be able to get the contact information for most people who go through an open house. You don't have to have listings to hold open houses either. You should be able to find agents who will let you hold their listings open because it is free marketing for them. This is another reason to choose the right broker and office because you have a better chance of agents in your office letting you hold open houses.
Agents can also use Craigslist or other media sources to advertise listings. HUD homes can be advertised by an agent and again you can get permission from other agents to advertise their listings. Remember you will also get clients from your existing clients if you prove to be trustworthy and resourceful.
Here is a great site that can help you get your real estate license.
How can building channel accounts help agents be more successful?
Channel accounts are large clients that send listings to agents over and over. Builders, relocation companies, and REO companies are all examples of channel accounts. It can be tough to build a relationship with a builder if you are brand new to town but definitely possible. Many REO companies and relocation companies do not care how long you have been in town, but how experienced you are as an agent. I know a couple of REO agents who set up shop in different areas of the country and lost very little business, because of their relationships with REO companies.
My Six Figure Real Estate Agent Success System is great for building channel account business.
Networking is the key to most real estate agents success
Meeting people and building relationships is the best way to build a business as a real estate agent. It is easier to build relationships in a town you are familiar with, but you can also do it in a new town. Some of the best ways to get clients is to make friends with professionals who also rely on relationships to build their business. Doctors, lawyers, accountants, dentists and many other professionals know a lot of people and talk to those people about their lives. If you can make friends with them or better yet sell a house to them, they will tell people they know about you (as long as you do a good job!).
If you are not willing to meet new people, tell them you are a real estate agent and build new relationships you will not be successful in any town.
What it all comes down to is doing a great job for the clients you have. If you go above and beyond they will tell others about you and will get more and more and more business. You can't forget to remind your past clients that you exist and are still an awesome real estate agent. Not only do you need to attract new clients, but market to your existing clients as well.

Viewing a house is actually more difficult than it sounds.
It's easy to get caught up in the whimsy of, "Oh, we could put a rug here, a lamp there, oh and this room would be great for dinner parties."
Try to rein it in a bit and keep an objective mindset, imagine you're an inspector and it's your job to find faults with the house.
Yes, it's tough, so here are some tips to help you out.
While the estate agent is sweet talking you, you have a second pair of eyes casing the joint for cracks in the walls or rising damp.
It's also good to have someone who can play devil's advocate. For every pro you put forward they can come back with, "Yes, but…"
This will keep your feet on the ground so you don't make any rash decisions. But do try to keep an open mind.
A picture says a thousand words. A video says more again. Bring a decent quality camera along and take as many photos as you can.
Don't just take shots of each room as a whole. Take photos of individual walls, windows and fixtures. You might spot some detail or fault later on that you missed initially that could be a deal breaker.
It's also worth doing a video walkthrough of the house so you can see how rooms connect and the general flow of the house.
The estate agent might want to rush you in, show you the most pleasing bits of the house and push you out again before you have chance to raise any objections.
Arrive a good 15 to 30 minutes before the viewing to get a good look at the outside of the house – front and back, if possible.
This also gives you chance to soak in the vibe of the street and potentially spot any problems with the neighbours.
This handy viewing checklist by Which lists the things you should be looking out for. And you can write down what you like and dislike about each property, just in case you forget!
Don't just rely on what you see – follow your nose and you might be able to smell the musty scent of mould that's been painted over.
You can also feel the walls for damp or hairline cracks that might be a sign of structural problems.
Don't sniff the walls though, that's just odd.
These are some questions that would be good to ask when viewing, as it could help you when negotiating a price later on:
How long has the house been on the market?
If the house has been available for more than three months, there could be an underlying problem that's putting off buyers.
The seller might accept a lower price for you to take it off their hands.
Why is the owner selling?
The estate agent is under no obligation to answer, but you may be able to tease out a few details that could help you later on.
For example, if the owner is leaving the country, they might accept a lower price for a quick sale.
How long has the owner lived here?
A string of short-term owners should ring alarm bells – there might be a problem.
What's included in the price?
How disappointed would you be to find that the previous owners had taken everything that had not been nailed down?
Gardens and outbuildings might have shared ownership with the neighbours, so it's good to get an answer on who owns what. Find out exactly what you'll get for your money.
Are the sellers in a chain?
A chain is where someone – let's call him Tim – buys a house with the money they make from selling their old house.
The person who wants to buy Tim's house – let's call her Bonnie – is using the money from selling her home to buy Tim's place.
You want to buy Bonnie's house, but everything's dependent on Tim sorting himself out to move things along.
A delay at the start of the chain causes problems further down the line, so expect a longer wait if the house is in a chain.
If you like the look of a particular place, arrange a second viewing on a different day and at a different time.
This should let you see the neighbourhood at busier and quieter times, so you don't get hit with any nasty surprises after moving in.
Once you've viewed a number of houses and picked your favourite, it's time to put your money where your mouth is and make an offer.

HALLANDALE BEACH — For 3 1/2 years, homeless people and needy families received hot meals twice a week from a food ministry in the eastern part of the city.
On Tuesday, however, the program ended - just weeks before Thanksgiving and the holiday season.
The reason given: Too many of the volunteers serving the food were not members of the Flamingo Road Church of Cooper City, which funds the program.
"When this happens, it causes misalignment of the vision of our pastor and our church, which can result in discord and disunity," Executive Pastor Raul Palacios said in an e-mail.
He said the program would reopen "with a broader vision in the near future," but must first form a new leadership team and ministry partners.
"We want to feed thousands, not hundreds," Palacios said, adding the congregation has earmarked $300,000 for the food ministry, including $100,000 recently spent remodeling the kitchen.
But the nearly 300 people who currently rely on meals from the ministry, at 214 E. Hallandale Beach Blvd., wondered what they would do next.
"I'm very upset and I'm discouraged," said Linda Gibson, of Hollywood, who is homebound and had meals delivered to her every Thursday. "I'm hurt ... and I'm not the only one. It's a letdown to the community."
Volunteer Michael Gilbert, of Weston, said the church's leadership could have found a better way to handle the situation. "They have the right to have their own vision but I have a concern with the way they went about doing it," he said.

Flexible Hammertoes Treatment
Hammertoe is often a harmless and painless condition. Although the toe may be curled permanently, hammertoe should not cause any long-term problems other than a more difficult time finding shoes that fit. If hammertoe is treated and preventive measures are followed, the condition should not return. Wearing tight or constricting shoes can cause hammertoe to return.
Flat feet can result in hammertoes, this is due to poor mechanics off the foot. High arched feet can also result in buckling toes. A major cause is in hereditary, all the toe conditions mentioned could be acquired due in hereditary factors. Bunions are a major cause of hammertoes. Claw toes are usually the result of a shoe that is too short. For many people, the second toe is actually longer than the great toe, and if shoes are sized to fit the great toe, the second (and maybe even the third toe) will have to bend to fit into the shoe. Shoes that are pointed make matters even worse. Combine pointed shoes with high heels, the foot is under similar pressure as if it was constantly being pushed downhill into a wall. Rheumatoid arthritis can also lead to bunions, which in turn can lead to hammer toes.
Hammer toe is often distinguished by a toe stuck in an upside-down ?V? position, and common symptoms include corns on the top of your toe joint. Pain at the top of a bent toe when you put on your shoes. Pain when moving a toe joint. Pain on the ball of your foot under the bent toe. Corns developing on the top of the toe joint. It is advisable to seek medical advice if your feet hurt on a regular basis. It is imperative to act fast and seek the care of a podiatrist or foot surgeon. By acting quickly, you can prevent your problem from getting worse.
Most health care professionals can diagnose hammertoe simply by examining your toes and feet. X-rays of the feet are not needed to diagnose hammertoe, but they may be useful to look for signs of some types of arthritis (such as rheumatoid arthritis) or other disorders that can cause hammertoe.
Non Surgical Treatment
There are many non-surgical treatments to help relieve symptoms of hammertoe. The first step for many people is wearing the right size and type of shoe. Low-heeled shoes with a boxy or roomy toe area are helpful. Cushioned insoles, customized orthopedic inserts, and pads can provided relief as well. Splints or straps may be used to help correct toe position. Your doctor may show you toe stretches and exercises to perform. Your doctor can safely remove corns and calluses. You should not try to remove them at home.
Surgical Treatment
Toe Relocation procedures are ancillary procedures that are performed in conjunction with one of the two methods listed about (joint resection or joint mending). When the toe is deformed (buckled) at the ball of the foot, then this joint often needs to be re-positioned along with ligament releases/repair to get the toe straight. A temporary surgical rod is needed to hold the toe aligned while the ligaments mend.

No Spring Chickens: But Kinski's got the huevos to play a flute hooked up to a distortion pedal.
Even with a mixed-bag new album, Kinski leads the pack of instrumental rock bands
By Sara Bir
INSTRUMENTAL rock bands never reach the same levels of mass adulation that their vociferous counterparts do. Maybe it's because people naturally respond more to the charisma of a lead singer, or perhaps music fans prefer to sing songs to themselves rather than hum them. While a lick can be as easily grafted onto memory as a snazzy chorus, people tend to identify songs with stories. Without words, the story of a song is 100 percent music.

There's a lovely purity to this, but when instrumental music fails to evoke images, a surplus of technical proficiency on the band's behalf can't make up for lack of soul. In other words, instrumental rock music can be as boring as hell. It's not a thing I'm proud of, but I've fallen asleep during multiple shows with three instrumental rock bands on the bill—a worst-case scenario of background music becoming the main attraction.
Kinski isn't strictly an instrumental band, though the matter-of-fact nature of its vocals, when it does appear, suggests that its attention lies elsewhere. Totally kicking ass, perhaps? In a land crawling with well-intentioned but musically overindulgent Kraut-rock/prog fans playing midtempo noodlings, Kinski shines as a beacon of powerful, engaging jams. Since forming at the end of the 1990s, the Seattle quartet has toured frequently and recorded a strong catalog of blissed-out space rock.
Due to its unfresh faces (Kinski are no spring chickens), woman-on-bass setup and love of feedback, Kinski is often compared unfavorably to Sonic Youth, but it far less downtown cool and far more acid-soaked. The band recently released its fifth album, Down Below It's Chaos, and is garnering more attention than ever, having toured with Tool earlier this spring.
With the passing of each album, Kinski guitar mastermind Chris Martin looks more and more like the band's namesake, the famously maniacal German actor Klaus Kinski, though the bags under Martin's eyes hang heavier and the features of his face slide lower into its bottom half in a gnomish fashion. He's a haggard-looking dude, and at Kinski's live shows, the longer the song, the more he droops over his guitar, until his posture calls to mind Quasimodo.
True, the band doesn't bother to make eye contact with the audience, but the best way to experience Kinski is live. The members don't smash anything or punch each other onstage, but the band's songs are living things whose energy penetrates a crowd.
Alas, one needs to dwell in Seattle to make a regular habit of catching Kinski shows, but the group's albums are rewarding; too bad Down Below It's Chaos, despite the presence of strong songs, is its least coherent. Since its first release, 1999's Space Launch for Frenchie, Kinski has issued albums that have shifted from sprawling psychedelia to capable but somewhat monotonous shred metal.
Down Below It's Chaos is too stylistically jumpy to grow monotonous. Power-rocking opener "Crybaby Blowout" is a swift, amped-up take on Black Sabbath-y stoner metal, the crunchy "Passwords & Alcohol" finds a strong groove, and Reid-Martin's keyboards infuse "Argentina Turner" with a garage-band party atmosphere.
But it never gels. Kinski's first three albums opened with epic, slow-building space jams that were fraught with musical tension. A bit formulaic, perhaps, but they always delivered a big payoff; at a song's close, you'd felt like you'd been somewhere profound. Down Below It's Chaos revisits that cinematic swoop just a few times, like the lovely "Child Had to Catch a Train," whose subtleties are somewhat buried in the album's punchier, more direct material.
There's a bright side to the sampler-pack character of Down Below It's Chaos: it's probably the best way to get a taste of all the things this band is capable of. Maybe a handful of adventurous Tool fans who caught Kinski this spring (and presumably did not fall asleep) are enjoying a gateway to experimental space music, the kind that tells a story without uttering one word.
KINSKI plays on Friday (Sept. 14) at 8:30pm at Bottom of the Hill, 1233 17th St., San Francisco. Tickets are $10. (415.621.4455)

Yesterday I saw a clip of the esteemed Congressman Luis Gutierrez (D-Ill) speaking on Univision about the Obama administration's deportation policy as it relates to DREAM Act eligible students.
Congressman Gutierrez stated the following:
"You don't see any young people getting deported anymore, and when they are call me. We'll undeport you. This administration has made a point that no more DREAM eligible students will be deported from the United States."
First off, I'd like to state that I have the highest regards for Congressman Gutierrez, and I offer the following with the utmost respect.
Mr. Congressman, you couldn't be more wrong.
Let me first introduce you to 22-year-old DREAMER Yanelli Hernandez, who attempted suicide twice while being held in immigration detention as a result of depression attributable to her pending deportation. DREAMers across the country held vigils as part of Undocumented Youth Mental Health Day" to bring attention to her case with the hopes of stopping the Obama administration from deporting her to Mexico.
It didn't work.
ICE spokesman Khaalid Walls confirms that Yanelli was just removed to Mexico this past week under a final order of removal. It is my understanding that there were no criminal grounds of removal brought against her, and that the sole basis for her deportation was an immigration violation. Whatever happened to common sense enforcement priorities?
Mr. Congressman, I am respectfully taking you up on your offer, and calling on you to "un-deport" her.
I'd also like to introduce you to DREAMer Gerson Armando Morales. When he was a child Gerson's mother escaped an abusive husband in El Salvador. She received Temporary Protected Status in the United States, which does not permit her to sponsor her children. As a result, Gerson was brought here illegally as a 12-year-old child to escape gang violence, and natural disasters in El Salvador.
He is now facing deportation from the United States. Please help stop it from happening.
These are just two examples from this week alone of how the Obama administration treats DREAMers, and such treatment is symptomatic of this President's proclivity of deporting children, mothers, and fathers. In short, in three years this President has destroyed more families through deportation than any other President in the history of this country. His record on immigration reform is nonexistent, and his human rights record deplorable.
But you know all of this.
My point being, President Obama should not be commended for his pandering lip-service, as more times than not his deportation review program is not preventing the removal of individuals with extensive family ties, and an absence of criminal records. I know, as I am in the trenches of the deportation war that Obama has been waging for over three years now, and let me tell you something, it ain't pretty.
The facts are that DREAMers continue to be deported daily by this President. My mother once told me that you will never find a solution if you ignore the problem. Unfortunately, our problem is this President's immigration enforcement agenda, and the problem will never be fixed if we ignore the undeniable fact that President Obama's record deportations are our problem.
Congressman, I am not writing this because I am in any way critical of the very hard work that you have been doing throughout the country on behalf of undocumented children. In fact, I can't commend you enough for your advocacy for comprehensive immigration reform. You will always have my unwavering support as a result. I only wish I could share your enthusiasm and join you in being "happy and proud to support President Obama for reelection." Because as it currently stands, this President is unworthy of the immigration reform vote, and he is running out of time.
Thank you for listening.

Bikes We Ride pt. III: Mad Mike's Pleasure Tourer (currently somewhere in Iowa)
Our own Mad Mike is currently somewhere in Iowa atop his trusty steed, likely listening to metal at loud volumes, flanked by countless hordes of cyclists. Mike and friends are part of the annual RAGBRAI (The Register's Annual Great Bicycle Ride Across Iowa), a seven day 500 mile ride across the state of Iowa. RAGBRAI is legendary, as the largest, longest, and oldest (going into its 40th year) bicycle touring event in the world. (check out this sweet video the New York Times did on the ride a few years ago...)
Mike lives by his own rules, does things his own way, and his touring bike epitomizes this. He built the frame himself, accomodating a massive 29er slick tire, and making it stout enough that it can support a huge stereo system. Powered by a marine battery, Mike's stereo is incredibly loud, and is surely helping him bring the madness back to his homestate. Also note the hand cut Newport Pleasure decals affixed to the down tube. The "Pleasure Tourer" is an absolute monster truck of a touring bike, totally absurd, and entirely fitting for Mike.

My husband pointed out to me that this post doesn't technically relate to adventures in Syria, but I thought I'd share anyway.
Jerry Seinfeld says that when you're a kid, your ultimate goal in life is to get candy. I agree completely.
When I was 13, my family went on a vacation to
At one point, we took a ferry between two cities. We got to sit on movie-theater style seats with a nice view over the water. It was a fun adventure for us young ones. I remember seeing the treasured peanut butter Twix stowed safely underneath my dad's seat, thinking again how good they tasted, and wondering when we'd get to have another one.
When we got off the ferry, to my horror, the box of Twix was nowhere to be found. My dad had left it under his seat on the ferry. All those Twix, gone forever.
I still mourn the loss of those Twix. I don't know that it's something I'll ever entirely get over. No matter how many Twix I can buy with my own money now, it's just not the same.

THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED Shells Restaurant Review: Fourth Street North used to be the major artery into the interstate connection between St. Petersburg and Tampa, and while now the interstate snags cars from a variety of other on-ramps, Fourth Street remains an unexpected mecca for restaurants. So, of course, there would be a Shells, a successful franchise to emerge from the West Coast of Florida. The menu emphasizes seafood---catfish, shrimp, crab legs, lobster and fresh fish of the day. Those not in the mood for seafood can find a few items for their tastes, too, such as New York strip steak or char-grilled chicken breast. There could be a few more desserts on the menu---four seems to be the standard.
GAYOT's Annual Restaurant Awards honor America's best chefs, as well as promising newcomers and a top restaurateur.

The predicates of this section implement control structures. Normally the constructs in this section, except for repeat/0, are translated by the compiler. Please note that complex goals passed as arguments to meta-predicates such as findall/3 below cause the goal to be compiled to a temporary location before execution. It is faster to define a sub-predicate (i.e. one_character_atom/1 in the example below) and make a call to this simple predicate.
one_character_atoms(As) :- findall(A, (current_atom(A), atom_length(A, 1)), As).
t1 :- (a, !, fail ; b).
|% cuts a/0 and t1/0
t2 :- (a -> b, ! ; c).
|% cuts b/0 and t2/0
t3 :- call((a, !, fail ; b)).
|% cuts a/0
t4 :-
|% cuts a/0
Goal1, Goal2 :- Goal1, Goal2.
Goal1 ; _Goal2 :- Goal1. _Goal1 ; Goal2 :- Goal2.
If -> Then; _Else :- If, !, Then. If -> _Then; Else :- !, Else. If -> Then :- If, !, Then.
Please note that (If
-> Then) acts as (If
Then ;
fail), making the construct fail if the condition fails.
This unusual semantics is part of the ISO and all de-facto Prolog

In other words, If
Condition succeeds at least once, simply behave as the

With new European regulations requiring 95 percent of a vehicle to be recyclable, Kia has already made sure that its products meet the requirement and is even aiming for 100-percent recyclability – thanks to techniques developed at the carmaker's Automobile Resource Regeneration (ARR) centers.
The latest European Union directive requires 85 percent of a scrapped vehicle to be recycled or re-used while a further 10 percent will be used for energy recovery from the combustion of non-recyclable residues – something that the South Korean carmaker has a lead over its rivals.
In fact, at its Hwasung site in South Korea, Kia has been developing end-of-life treatment technologies aimed at reducing the environmental and social impact of its cars since 2005.
The Hwasung ARR has been instrumental in designing and assembling Kia vehicles. It has been also instrumental in choosing materials used in production. Contemporary vehicles usually have explosive materials in airbags as well as large amount of environmentally hostile solids and liquids.
Although metal parts like the car body, engine and gearbox are easy to recycle, it has been a challenge to recycle parts made of plastics and rubbers. With Kia's process, 95 percent of a vehicle has become recyclable with only five percent sent to landfill or incinerated without energy recovery.
The carmaker's eight-stage dismantling process at its ARR centers allows it to recover as many materials as possible for re-using. Likewise, the process ensures that parts that cannot be recycled are disposed of with the minimum environmental impact.
Processes like this make Kia one of the world leaders in the development of hybrid, electric and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, while seeking cut fuel consumption and emissions of its combustion vehicles. [source: Kia]

I love baking, I love cooking too, but baking is my most favourite thing to do. I love it when a recipe comes together and I make something that looks as good as it tastes, which is not always the case, sometimes the things I try to make belly flop like no someones business and then I never touch the recipe again, but when I stumble on a winner I make sure I have it written down and saved.
I went online and ordered a few new baking books for myself. I tried to research them a bit before I pushed 'add to cart ', but I think I may have been a bit more successful on some more than others.
So if you are looking for some nice books to keep your pudding compartment happy take a look at these.
1. Vintage Cakes
This is so far the book I'm enjoying the most, I have made 3 things out of it and all of them have come out really nicely. I just wish it had more pictures because I like to see what things are meant to look like, but it doesn't. But it's still a really cool book full of things that make you wish you could sleep face down in a cake every night. I would definitely recommend buying it.
2. The Back in The Day Cookbook
This is a sweet little book, it has good old fashioned recipes in it and it covers sweet and savoury. There are pies and cakes and biscuits and puddings and cobblers and it's laid out nicely too. I would be scared to visit this bakery in real life in fear that I would never want to leave, it's vintage and beautiful. This book also gets a thumbs up.
3. More from Magnolia
I also bought More from Magnolia, which is a book with recipes from a very famous bakery in America called Magnolia. This was the most disappointing visually. There are absolutely no pictures which really doesn't inspire me to tackle any of the recipes inside. And they all seem so old fashion, but not in a good way. I haven't even baked one thing from this book, which sucks because I could be completely wrong about it.
Do any of you own it and have a different opinion on it?
4. Loveless Cafe
The last book I bought was the Loveless Cafe, which is full of simple southern pies, puddings, cakes and cobblers from Nashville. This book is full of short and sweet recipes that don't scare you when you are reading through them because they seem totally doable. The stuff is old fashioned, but it all looks so delicious. I'm happy with this one too and I think i'm going to enjoy it as much as the first and second one on this list.

Quote Of The Day
I am stealing this from Bob Cesca because I have never read more truer words. Andrew Sullivan:
To rid the world of Osama bin Laden, Anwar al-Awlaki and Moammar Qaddafi within six months: if Obama were a Republican, he'd be on Mount Rushmore by now.
Instead the Republicans act like the President is some sort of enemy of the state or they just try to strip him of any credit and give it to others. They really are the lowest of lows in the political spectrum.

The posters as you approach are very cool and the enormous sign as you enter really makes you think – could humans be setting foot on Mars in the lifetime of our children?
Before I ventured into space, I had a lot of fun flying with birds. It's hard to describe this interactive experience but you stand on a spot in front of the screen and you are linked to a bird on the screen, flying across a landscape. You stand with your arms out like wings and if you don't move them properly the bird will crash – well it goes red for danger and you need to move sharpish to get it back on track. I found it quite compulsive and loved the scenery too. It's best if you have a small group or family as you can fill up all the spots and 'fly' together. It also taught us why birds fly in a V formation as there are nuggets of education built into every section but without being too obvious.
Hopefully these photos will help give you a better idea of how it works:
|Lots of educational info
|Looks like a skier!
|Here we are flying along
|I didn't swoop properly – that's me in red on the left – oops
|Oh dear, my fellow flyers aren't keeping up either! Great view tho'..
There are lots of educational points thrown in where we see women scientist on screens, making it more inclusive and inspiring for girls visiting. We even had a girl mini astronaut visiting with when we were there!
|She looks ready for space
I loved the Space Elevator which takes you up tin just a few seconds to way beyond the earth. Join me on my journey:
|Take off bay
|Going up
|Heading out
|10,000 miles from earth…
|Now we are in space
You can design your own full throttle jet and then test fly it through a tricky obstacle course, which I have to admit I was really bad at! You can see the planes of the future, hear how scientists are pushing the boundaries. There is so much to enjoy and make you think. How about seeing the world's lightest metal? It's 100 times lighter than Styrofoam and yet is incredibly strong so could change how we build cars, airplanes and even homes. How about the incredible shrinking satellite where you can see how these once sizeable pieces of metal is now something you could easily carry in your hand..
|Sit here to test out jet you have designed!
I should have mentioned the shop earlier as they do have great things for sale but the best bit for me was having my photo taken as an astronaut! This goes well with my Mars passport from inside the exhibition.
|Ready for take off!
|See you on Mars!
|Isn't this a great T-shirt!

Quick Reference
A particular approach to writing abstract specifications for programs, modules, or data types. Systems are modeled using representations for the data items involved, in terms of basic set-theory constructs such as sets, functions, relations, and sequences. The operations involved are then defined at this level of abstraction, typically by giving preconditions and postconditions for each operation. An implementation of the specification would involve replacing the set-theory constructs by lower-level ones, while preserving the meaning expressed by the specification. Although using abstract set theory, a constructive specification does give explicit constructions for the data and explicit definitions for the operations; it therefore contrasts with axiomatic specification, in which the representations are not prescribed. Widely used constructive specification formalisms are VDM and the specification language Z.

Iraq's Prime Minister says he will lead a "cross-sectarian" list in national elections proposed for May, hoping to build on last year's victory against the Islamic State group.
In a statement issued late Saturday, Haider al-Abadi says his Victory Alliance will "boost the country's integrity and national sovereignty, correct mistakes and achieve justice and equality for all Iraqis." He says the "miracle of victory and unity must lead to a new and brighter era."
Al-Abadi, who comes from Iraq's Shiite majority, assumed office in 2014, weeks after IS stormed across northern and central Iraq. Since then, Iraqi forces backed by a U.S.-led coalition have gradually retaken all the territory once held by the Sunni extremists.
Iraq's Cabinet has proposed elections for May 12, a date that awaits final parliamentary approval.

The knit stitch is often used in an infinity scarf pattern, but the purl stitch will also be used in many patterns. Depending on the desired finished look of the scarf, the knitter has countless ways to combine these stitches.
An infinity scarf gets its name from its circular construction. Unlike a straight scarf that has two visible ends, infinity versions are like mobius strips. A simple infinity scarf can rely on only the knit stitch, resulting in a garter stitch pattern. Adding purl stitches can result in ribbing or moss stitch. The knitter may also add lacework by inserting yarn-overs. More complex patterns may include floral or leaf designs. The length of an infinity scarf varies. Shorter scarves may be worn similarly to cowls, while longer scarves can be looped around the neck a few times, leading to a more plush look.
The thickness and denseness of the scarf are affected by the type of fiber used as well as the needle size. Chunky yarn knits up quickly on large needles. Fine yarn is better for delicate lacework and requires smaller needles. There is so much variety in patterns, but all begin with the simplest of stitches, the knit stitch.

Hi Graff one more thing about the result file being produced the number of lines having Gm10 assembly in Methylation.gtf are 26637 and thus the final result should have the same number with 0 value for those genes which have no CG CHG or CHH count while right now it only prints 8626 lines including the header.

ATG is a managed service provider in the professional services, legal, medical and agro-business markets. Its customers range from as small as five users to around 700 users with robust data centers.

Freedom Of Speech?
We are at war.
If the Democrats are allowed to post a picture of Captain America holding Trumps severed head, then Republicans are allowed to post a picture of Wonder Woman holding Obama's severed head.
But two wrongs don't make a right, right? Not in this case. We need to understand that there is a war against free speech. Democrats are allowed to be vile, disgusting and use inappropriate words without being called out. Well, so should conservatives! Free speech protects them from saying those things and it protects us as well. Why aren't we using their strategy against them?
Trump is President because he broke the rules, he made you uncomfortable. The first amendment is under assault. The left dictates the terms. Conservatives need to be better at using free speech.
If You Find Trump's Cabinet Picks Upsetting, You Might Just Be A Liberal!
It looks Like President Elect Donald J. Trump is selecting his cabinet based on the content of their character rather than their ethnicity, sexual preference or other stupid liberal criteria.
What Differnce At This Point Does It Make?
What difference at this point does it make? That is the question we have to ask those who want to continue to desecrate the Clintons' corpses.
They are dead already; their careers are over for all intents and purposes. Hillary all but destroyed Bill's legacy. That is a shame. Bill was the last best president the democrats had. He certainly was better than Obama.
As the clear heir to the presidency, Republicans had to keep reminding us of Hillary's what difference does it make outburst in order to burst her presidential bubble. That is fine; that is how the game is played.
The Republicans who played that game didn't win. The Republican, who judged her guilty won. Trump didn't tortuously connect the dots in some quasi-academic exercise. He simply said, "Crooked Hillary."
That was enough.
Everyone knew what was going on and they really didn't care. Trump pronounced her guilty and then moved on to what they DID and DO care about; jobs. Prosperity. Safety...
The truth of the matter is that the legacy that matters is not Hillary's, but Obama's. Remember, it was Obama that put Hillary in the position to botch Benghazi. He put our men and women in danger in order to protect himself from the dangers a disenfranchised Clinton could bring to bear.
She had no business being Secretary of State. She really didn't have enough experience to be in a cabinet position at all. It is Obama's legacy that matters. It is his legacy, if left unexamined that will continue to hurt this country.
So, if you insist on focusing on the Clintons, make it matter. Itemize all of their actions, and inactions and pledge that a Republican administration will not do the same.
A Trump administration will never:
1) Give the appearance that anyone but the American people are benefitting from this deal or that project.
2) And on and on and on.......
If you must focus on the Clintons, do it for a better future. If it is simply because you can't move on, have at it. But first ask yourself one question: Is you hate for the Clintons stronger than your love this country?
Hey America! Can You Be Free If The Media is A Slave?
This is the latest. Many Americans are nervous about the elections but what the should be nervous about is the power of the main stream media and what they are hiding!
Donald Trump lewd comments = Democrat Double Standards. (The FaceBook Rant)
If this rant reflects a national sentiment, the GOP just screwed the pooch.
The latest scandal to engulf the Trump campaign revolves around lewd comments he made over a hot mic, back in 2005. The mainstream media and The GOP were quick to pounce and denounce Donald Trump (and just days before the second Presidential debate) but the backlash against them was quick and severe.
Did the GOP miscalculate?
That remains to be seen but at the time of this posting, my latest rant has over 700K views and is quickly approaching a million! I think that means I struck a nerve! (I've been doing that a lot lately!) Four weeks from now all will be decided.
Here's the latest...
The Legacy Rant Goes Viral!
His legacy? President Obama is worried about his legacy?
Well, I just couldn't sit and listen to Obama fret about his legacy when it is his legacy that has left us nearly in ruin!
In my latest viral rant, I launch on the President's recent comments and tell him just what his legacy is – not what he hopes it will be.
You can check out the rant below!
James Harris & Eboni Williams Full Exclusive Interview With Sean Hannity - FOX NEWS (8/19/2016)
What a week! A viral video, two appearances of Hannity, two interviews with the BBC and a GREAT week of radio!
In cased you missed it, the lovely Eboni Williams (FOX News contributor) and The Beautiful Man (me), sat down with Hannity to talk Trump. Can Trump convince Americans of African Descent to ditch the Democrat Party?
That's going to be a tough row to hoe!
Check out the video below.
Dispelling media mythology worldwide!
Not many people can rise and shine so brilliantly, on such short notice, and do an interview on the world stage...
Then there is me... The Beautiful Man!
Where there is revisionist history, I will be there to set things straight! It's the BBC interview, folks!
In all seriousness, I appreciate the opportunity to share my thoughts nationally and on the world stage. What I love about radio is that you get more time to expound on your thoughts, respond to challenges, and shape your own narrative. Radio gives you time and flexibility that TV often cannot. In this interview, I got a chance to say everything that I wanted to say on Fox News highly-rated Sean Hannity show. Nothing against TV, it's just... I am a radio guy!
Now about the interview...
When you consider what years of progressive policies have done to the American family (particularly the black family), it should be easy to see that the Democrat Party is not your friend. You need look no further than the state of the black family.
Given that reality... What do Americans of African Descent (or any Americans for that matter) have to lose by ditching Democrat policies?
Listen to the BBC interview below.

Goodyear has information on how to manage tire pressure on its website. There is no overall tire pressure guide, as tire pressure varies from vehicle to vehicle.
A manufacturer sticker on each vehicle describes how much tire pressure to use. It is located in the glove box or along the driver's side doorjamb. It is also found in the owner's manual.
Improper tire pressure can cause tread to wear prematurely. Over inflation diminishes the tread in the center, while under inflation causes the tread along the shoulders to wear. Proper inflation prevents this adverse tread wear and also increases stopping distance and improves handling and fuel economy.
