Pakistani Taliban commander welcomes talks offer
DERA ISMAIL KHAN, Pakistan (AP) — A senior Pakistani Taliban commander welcomed the government's recent offer to hold peace talks, raising the possibility the militant group has changed its stance after shunning negotiations earlier this year.
Asmatullah Muawiya, head of the Taliban's faction of fighters from central Punjab province, said Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif "demonstrated political maturity" by reiterating his offer to hold peace talks in a speech on Monday.
"If the present government takes an interest in solving matters seriously and with prudence, then there is no reason why jihadi forces active in Pakistan shouldn't respond to it positively," Muawiya said in a statement sent to journalists Thursday.
The main Pakistani Taliban spokesman, Shahidullah Shahid, said Muawiya was expressing his own opinion but was closely tied to the group's leadership. Shahid said the leaders had not yet made a decision about whether to re-engage on peace talks. The leadership will hold a meeting Friday to discuss Sharif's offer, but will never agree to lay down their arms, said Shahid.
Muawiya was the first person to indicate at the end of last year that the Pakistani Taliban were open to holding peace talks. He sent a letter to a local newspaper outlining conditions for a cease-fire, including the imposition of Islamic law and an end to the government's unpopular alliance with the U.S.
Pakistani Taliban leader Hakimullah Mehsud then released a video in which he said the group would consider a serious offer to talk but would not lay down their weapons as a precondition.
Prime Minister Sharif, who took office in June, campaigned on a platform that indicated peace talks with the Taliban were the best way to end the group's bloody insurgency, which has killed thousands of people in recent years.
But the Taliban withdrew their offer to negotiate at the end of May after the group's deputy commander was killed in a U.S. drone strike.
Muawiya praised the government's decision Sunday to halt all state executions temporarily, just days ahead of the planned hangings of several al-Qaida-linked militants. He threatened in an interview with The Associated Press last week that the Taliban would target the leaders of the ruling Pakistan Muslim League-N if the militants were hanged.
The prime minister "strengthened the wish of peace by suspending punishment for prisoners," Muawiya said.
The previous government had put in place a moratorium on executions. The current government initially indicated it would end that moratorium, but said Sunday that executions were halted until Sharif held talks with Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari.
The idea of peace talks with the Taliban is controversial in Pakistan because past deals have largely fallen apart. The agreements have been criticized for allowing the militants to regroup and rebuild their strength to resume fighting the government and U.S.-led troops in neighboring Afghanistan. Activists also have raised concerns that future peace deals could threaten human rights in the country, especially for women.
The Pakistani military has waged an aggressive campaign against the Taliban in their northwest sanctuaries along the Afghan border since 2009, but the militants have proved resilient. They have carried out a series of high-profile attacks since Sharif took office, including a prison break at the end of July in which they freed more than three dozen suspected militants.
A roadside bomb hit a convoy of security forces in the southern city of Karachi on Thursday night, killing two people and wounding 21 others, said Seemi Jamali, head of emergency services at Jinnah Hospital. Shahid, the Pakistani Taliban spokesman, claimed responsibility for the attack.
Even if the two sides sit down to talk, it's unclear whether they will be able to find common ground given the Taliban's demands that Islamic law be implemented and Islamabad break its alliance with Washington.
Muawiya said Pakistan's foreign policy should be based on the principles of Islam, not "American slavery." He also demanded that U.S. drone strikes targeting militants in the country come to an end.
Pakistani officials regularly denounce the attacks as a violation of the country's sovereignty, but are known to have supported them secretly in the past.
It's also unclear how Sharif's concept of peace fits within the framework laid out by the Pakistani army, considered the most powerful institution in the country. Army chief Gen. Ashfaq Parvez Kayani outlined strict conditions for any peace deal with the Taliban in April, saying they must "unconditionally submit to the state, its constitution and the rule of law."
Talk of a peace deal could be troubling to the U.S. if it is seen as providing militants with greater space to carry out operations in Afghanistan. However, Washington's push for a peace deal with the Afghan Taliban could also make it difficult to oppose an agreement in Pakistan.
The Afghan and Pakistani Taliban are allies but have primarily focused their attacks on opposite sides of the border. The Pakistani Taliban also trained the Pakistani-American who carried out a failed car bombing in New York's Times Square in 2010.
Associated Press writers Sebastian Abbot in Islamabad and Adil Jawad in Karachi, Pakistan, contributed to this report.

Those interested in taking advantage of crops that can be grown commercially, but do not require hundreds of acres, can register for the second of a two-part series sponsored by USDA's Risk Management Agency and Oklahoma State University Cooperative Extension.
"The Food Safety Workshop is the second of a two-part series and will include information on fertigation, pest management, Good Agricultural Practices), record keeping, post-harvest handling and more," said Jennifer Jensen, OSU Cooperative Extension assistant, risk management education. "Participants don't need to have attended the first event to register for this one."
The workshop is slated July 24 at the one acre garden site north of the gravel parking lot at Paradise Casino, 7500 Highway 177, in Red Rock from 9 a.m. until 3:30 p.m. The event is hosted by the Otoe-Missouria and Ponca tribes.
"Food safety is an important aspect of growing fresh fruits and vegetables," said Lynn Brandenberger, professor in OSU's Department of Horticulture and Landscape Architecture. "The upcoming workshop on risk management will include sessions on what to consider when developing your farm's food safety plan and how to get started on this important first step for food safety."
Health benefits are strongly linked to increased consumption of fresh produce, but an increase in the incidence of food borne illnesses also is linked to this increase. The key to reducing food borne illness is preventing contamination of fresh produce.
"A comprehensive food safety system, from farm to table, is needed to minimize the risk of foodborne illness," said William McGlynn, professor in OSU's Department of Horticulture and Landscape Architecture. "Education and a commitment by growers, processors and consumers alike to best growing and handling practices will help ensure fresh fruits and vegetables are both safe and healthy."
The implementation of a farm food safety plan for growers is the initial step in providing safe and nutritious fresh produce for market. The food safety workshop will train fresh market farmers in food safety techniques.
There is no cost to attend, but participants are asked to pre-register to ensure adequate meal preparation for the complimentary lunch, by contacting Jensen at 405-744-9826 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

The Sports Doctor: Strategies for running downhill
One of the main problems runners experience in a race, especially if the course is hilly, is fatigue at the three-quarters point. This is a result of increased burning of Lactate Acid and fatigue in the muscle tissue from running the hills too hard too early in the race, often creating more damage to race performance.
It is best to run faster on the hills later in the race rather than early.
For many years, it was thought that racers should run up the hill hard and come down slower. But in all actual fact, you can increase your running speed on downhills without building up lactic acid as the oxygen consumption to the muscle will actually decrease on the downhills.
The actual workout should be at a race pace once per week for about five to six hills to start, then increase two or three hills per week. A good downhill running style is getting up on the balls of your feet, which will dissipate stress away from your body. Whereas, landing on your heels will create trauma and possibly injury, as well as loss in time.
Always give your body proper recovery whether it is a training session or a race.

Name: Alyssa
Gender: Female
Age: 26
Location: Vancouver
I've recently begun dating a very nice, attractive guy who has a unique fetish. He's very sweet and complimentary in real life but when we play he likes to say dirty and very insulting and frankly pretty outrageous things about my mouth. I have enjoyed it when we've played this way but I kind of wonder deep down if he actually likes my mouth or not. He says it's just a fetish and he thinks it's beautiful. Can you give me some insight into this?
Seems to me, Alyssa, if the BF only does this trash talk during sex, then it is, as he insists a fetish. I recommend that you not try to read anything more into it than that. Don't over think it and don't second-guess this harmless fetish. In fact, you ought to revel in the fact that you have a man that enjoys something a little out of the ordinary. And hey, why not give dirty talk a try yourself. You can, you know. All ya gotta do is get into the same mind set as the BF, and give him as good as you get. I can pretty much assure you that this will turn his crank, big time.
Name: Baux
Gender: Male
Age: 18
Location: Colorado
I'm a young gay guy; I have been having anal sex on the bottom since I was 14 years old. There have been no more than 15 guys, though I've probably had sex around 50 or so times. Recently within the last few months, sex has stopped feeling good. The initial burn caused by penetration won't go away. I truly do want to keep having sex; do you have any idea why my ass is suddenly so sensitive?
Wow you sure are precocious, my friend!
And yes, I do have some idea why your ass is suddenly so sensitive. I'd be willing to guess that you may have developed an anal fissure.
An anal fissure is a tear in the lining of the anus or anal canal. The fissure can be painful and may bleed. For more information on this; search my site using the term, "Anal Fissure."
This is nothing to fool around with, pup. Have yourself checked out by a physician ASAP. Remember, our bodies often offer us warning signals when something isn't right. A painful burning sensation is one such warning signal. Please, attend to this right away. Take yourself to a community free clinic for screening if you don't have a general practitioner you can rely on.
Good luck

It all adds up to this "Dumb ass parents that don't give a [email protected]#$", Where was the outrage? where was the call for heads to roll? Nothing just parents that think it was isolated and it couldn't of happen to their kid. Sure the DA said there was nothing more, the same DA that okay-ed the plea deal for just probation for having sex with a kid that could of been their own
As of this post there's 8 votes(8 maybe child molesters)saying No! why No? there's no good reason to say no unless there's something to hide.
What would be the harm to see what @$$hole was covering this up, wake up!.. a New Rochelle Board of Education Authorize Penn State-style Independent Investigation into the Jose Martinez Case is way over do!

Protesters clash as White Nationalists marched with torches at University of Virginia
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (ABC7) —
They held their rally around a Thomas Jefferson statue before clashing with counter-protesters.
UPDATE: A State of Emergency was declared Saturday afternoon as protests continued. Click here for the latest details.
White Nationalists marched with torches on the University of Virginia campus in Charlottesville Friday night.
The group chanted "one people, one nation, end immigration."
They held their rally around a Thomas Jefferson statue before clashing with counter-protesters.
In a statement, Charlottesville's mayor Mike Signer called it a "cowardly parade of hatred, bigotry, racism annd intolerance."
UVA's president, Teresa Sullivan, condemned the rally and issued this statement Friday evening:
"As President of the University of Virginia, I am deeply saddened and disturbed by the hateful behavior displayed by torch-bearing protesters that marched on our Grounds this evening. I strongly condemn the unprovoked assault on members of our community, including University personnel who were attempting to maintain order.
Law enforcement continues to investigate the incident, and it is my hope that any individuals responsible for criminal acts are held accountable. The violence displayed on Grounds is intolerable and is entirely inconsistent with the University's values."

Before and during his Colby College speech Sunday, Lovejoy Award recipient Bob Woodward spoke on various topics in American politics.
* On how an upcoming round of negotiations about the "fiscal cliff" would compare to previous failed talks:
"I think it's necessity," he said. "If they don't fix this, we could crash. I think of it as a moment of profound peril. I think (President Barack) Obama realized that. I think (House Speaker John) Boehner realizes that. I think (Vice President Joe) Biden realizes it. I think Senator (Mitch) McConnell and Senator (Harry) Reid realize it."
* On the recent resignation of Gen. David Petraeus following a revelation he had carried on an affair:
"He's a very careful person normally, and in this affair he obviously was not. I think he did the honorable thing. I think he realized the CIA director cannot be in that situation. But it is interesting that a president of the United States can hang on. President (Bill) Clinton was impeached and not convicted and stayed in office. There is a lot of Puritanism in America, and I think frankly it was common sense on the part of Petraeus. He made a huge mistake and got out of the way."
* On the effect of the resignation on the Obama White House:
"I think the White House and Obama didn't want him to go because he's been a pretty good CIA director and he's been such a high-profile person. He's one of the few people in public life in the last 10 years who has been in the spotlight and not been burned in the spotlight until now. The CIA can sink a presidency, as in the Bay of Pigs, or it can help a presidency a great deal. Having someone of that independence, that stature, held in high regard by a lot of Republicans, had insulated Obama."
* On whether the public knows the whole story behind the 9/11 terrorist attacks:
"I think most of the questions are answered; but if we keep at it, we might learn something more."
* On Obama's recent revelation that he enjoys the television program "Homeland":
"I think it's an excellent show. It's got twists and turns you wouldn't expect. I think it speaks to Obama's taste."
* On being seated next to Al Gore during a Washinton, D.C., dinner:
"Dinner next to Al Gore, to be honest, is taxing."

Do not hesitate to contact your medical practitioner if you have a problem with over drinking or if you know someone who does.

Underage drinking and binge drinking are real problems in the adolescent community. Parents should take an active role in educating their children in relation to drinking and should not hesitate to seek help from their medical practitioner or school authorities. Pregnant women should not consume alcohol - although a sip of wine for Kiddush will cause no harm. It is erroneous to suggest that intoxication or drinking to excess are either permitted or encouraged on Shabbat or Chagim, especially for adolescents - indeed Rabbinic authorities forbid such drinking.

Electric Airsoft Rifles use batteries as their power source and they shoot very fast. Some Electric Airsoft Rifles come with semi-automatic fire. That means that when you pull the trigger only 1 BB will come out at a time. Other Electric Airsoft Rifles come with full-automatic fire.

text: Sunland Bankruptcy Leaves Peanut Farmers Scrambling November 4, 2013 04:58 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Associated Press Email by CHRISTINA CALLOWAY, Clovis News Journal CLOVIS, N.M. (AP) — Peanut farmers have a different pay schedule than most. Once they harvest their peanuts in the fall, typically about mid to late-October, they are paid for their crop for the entire year. When Sunland Inc., declared Chapter 7 bankruptcy early in October, growers in eastern New Mexico and West Texas were collectively out millions of dollars. It's the money they use to pay back lenders, bills and to put food on the table. For Causey farmer Hershel Carmichael, not being paid meant it took a substantial portion of savings earmarked for his grandchildren. "The farmer is the loser here, we're talking about millions and millions of dollars," said 65-year-old Carmichael, who's been farming since 1981. Though he declined to say how much, Carmichael said the money he's owed for the 2013 harvest is tacked on to the money he's owed for his 2012 crop. Carmichael said most farmers were paid about 58 percent of what was owed for 2012. In addition to the money he is owed, Carmichael said he had money invested in Sunland because his savings are tied to old crop money he left with Sunland for tax purposes. "I worked all my life to make it easier on my family," he said. "That's what I saved my whole life for and that's what Sunland did for us." Carmichael is mostly upset because he feels Sunland wasn't honest with its growers. Court documents filed in federal court show the one-time giant of the peanut industry had been preparing for the possibility of bankruptcy for the past six months. "They let us plant a crop, put money into it and get it to where the peanuts are ready to harvest and then filed for bankruptcy," said Carmichael, who said farmers were transporting their peanuts to the plant up until the day the company announced bankruptcy. "They let you sink that much money into the crop knowing they couldn't buy the peanuts and throw you into an open market." Carmichael said farmers are in a bind because the crop is ready but there are still no buyers. He said the only option he has now is to pay for storage. Carmichael said the situation gluts the Valencia peanut market but he still has hope for the Valencia peanuts in this area because demand is high. Naveen Puppala, peanut breeder for New Mexico State University, said Sunland's closure will certainly affect farmers this year but the market is large for the Valencia peanut, especially for those who grow them organically. "Valencia has a demand and there is going to be a market," Puppala said. "It's a niche market, it has its own advantages." Puppala said the Valencia peanut can't be grown anywhere else with the kind of flavor the eastern New Mexico and West Texas area produces. State Sen. Stuart Ingle, R-Portales, said he feels for the farmers and understands how the community is affected by Sunland's closure but said nothing is underway as far as any aid. "That's really tough to do, to help anyway we can," Ingle said. "It's hard for the state to come in and buy all those peanuts. It always affects way more people than you think. Bankruptcy is never valuable." Ingle is optimistic that another peanut or food processor will purchase Sunland's plant and agrees the Valencia peanut is a well-known crop. But he knows it won't happen overnight. "Nobody wanted this but it happened. Wished we had help from Washington D.C. and got the (Food and Drug Administration) to be more fair," Ingle said. "They didn't handle it correctly. They closed them down and I don't think they tried to help them reopen." Back to news

Úvod »» MartinLogan Ethos™
Ethos Overview
MartinLogan is proud to announce an advanced combination of sonic technologies establishing an unprecedented new direction for audiophile design. Descended from MartinLogan's renowned CLX™ loudspeaker, the new Ethos features advanced XStat™ electrostatic technology and a proprietary Vojtko™ crossover topology delivering the highest sonic standards of efficiency and precision. An immensely dynamic 8-inch PoweredForce™ woofer and 8-inch passive radiator duo utilize an innovative 24-bit Vojtko DSP (digital signal processing) Engine and powerful 200-watt class-D amplifier to generate effortlessly detailed bass down to 34Hz—from an extremely compact design!
A unique XStat™ transducer was developed to exclusively address the specific mechanical requirements of the Ethos. Vertically identical in size and dispersion to the flagship Summit™ X (and taller than the Vantage), Ethos' 9.2-inch (23cm) horizontal panel dimension required a tighter curve to achieve MartinLogan's distinct 30-degree dispersion pattern. To accomplish this MartinLogan engineers reduced the gauge thickness of the steel stators. The reduced gauge does not alter the performance characteristics of the Ethos' electrostatic panel. However, as a natural byproduct of tighter build tolerances, it does increase the visual transparency of the panel. Ethos' new XStat panel is so visually transparent that it nearly vanishes when you're sitting and listening.
Ethos is available in 3 hand-rubbed, real-wood finishes; black ash, dark cherry & teak*.
* Our real-wood, highest grade Teak finish varies in color, figure, and texture, with no pairs looking exactly alike, making each set we manufacture unique. Photos shown should only be considered an example, reflecting Teak's beautifully natural, variable and complex character.
MartinLogan's dedicated in-house design & engineering team wanted to pack as much bass performance as possible into a sleek, compact design without compromising the detail, speed, and transparency required to keep up with our agile electrostatic panels. To accomplish this MartinLogan designed an extremely precise 24-Bit Vojtko DSP Engine in conjunction with a powerful 200-watt class-D amplifier to harness a stunning low-level performance—uncommon in cabinets this compact.
Proprietary Vojtko filtering technology is utilized for Ethos' electrostatic transducer. This audiophile quality network, derived from the CLX, is carefully hand-built using precision point-to-point wiring, polypropylene capacitors, massive air-core coils, and a custom wound E-I core transformer—flawlessly preserving micro-acoustic subtleties while effortlessly handling the broadest range of dynamics contained within even the most demanding sonic source.
Ethos' 24-Bit Vojtko DSP Engine and 200-watt digital amplifier create powerfully detailed bass from a custom designed front-firing 8-inch aluminum-cone PoweredForce woofer and precisely matched down-firing 8-inch passive radiator. This unique radiator enhances bass output, much like a port, but without port induced noise and midrange resonance. Ethos' passive radiator utilizes a full woofer suspension design to achieve maximize linearity during massive excursion. Additionally, Ethos' proprietary intelligent DSP engine allowed our engineers to utilize a smaller-than-average passive radiator to obtain the appropriate level of bass performance required to flawlessly blend with the electrostatic panel while still maintaining a minimal footprint for the cabinet.

Homosexuality and the Christian
Since I have recently written about sexuality and it has gotten some intense feed back, let me venture into the area of homosexuality. I want to address the moral issue here, not any political agenda about gay rights and such. But since many Christians consider homosexuality a sin let's discuss it. I will prime the pump, so to speak.
Modern distinctions: There are homosexual/heterosexual orientations (for which people are not responsible), and then there are homosexual/heterosexual practices (for which people are responsible). Homosexual/heterosexual practices which are anonymous acts of self-gratification are different than practices that are expressive of authentic human love between two people. Both homosexual practices and heterosexual practices are judged by the same standards.
The secular challenge to the Christian: "Sex is essential to human fulfillment. To expect homosexual people to abstain from homosexual practice is to condemn them to frustration and to drive them to neurosis, despair, and even suicide. It's outrageous to ask anybody to deny himself what to him is a normal and natural mode of sexual expression."
The modern theological challenge: "No where in Scripture is there a clear condemnation of a loving sexual relationship between two gay persons." "Scriptural authors never deal with homosexual orientation, and when they do treat homosexual activity, they never do so in a context of a loving relationship. They presuppose that they are dealing with a humanly destructive activity in the context of idolatry, prostitution, promiscuity, violent rape, seduction of children or violation of guests' rights." John J. McNeill "Homosexuality: Challenging the Church to Grow" in Christian Century (March 11, 1987: 246.).

I've mentioned the host culture a few times on this blog, but never fully explained it. Hostess and host clubs are a very popular form of nightlife entertainment in Asia. Hostess clubs employ women who cater to men, primarily to make small talk, pour drinks, and light cigarettes. Men pay a cover charge to enter those establishments, and they are entertained by those women for a (steep) fee. Those clubs are commonly called "snack bars", and most cities and even small towns bear districts full of snack bars.
When I first moved to Marugame, my supervisor was giving me a walking tour of my neighbourhood, and he made sure to warn me to not enter any establishment dubbed "Snack" if I was hungry, because well, they do serve snacks amongst other things, but it might be quite expensive. Snack hostesses dress up in flashy, tacky prom dresses and wear wigs and usually stand outside trying to lure clients in.
The male version of hostesses clubs are host clubs, where young men sporting crazy, elaborate hairstyles, tight trousers and pointy shoes entice young women with lighthearted talk and magic tricks. Girls frequent host clubs to get attention from those boys, who usually act like boyfriends and even follow up during the week with emails and phone calls. I have not been to a host club yet, but I really want to go soon for research purposes. I think it's important to speak a decent level of Japanese to even go to one of those clubs, because most of them cannot converse in English.
Host and hostess culture is such an odd concept for me. I have always wondered why people would need to pay extravagant charges to get people from the opposite sex to talk to you and give you attention, but somehow it makes complete sense in Japanese culture, where men are usually intimidated by women, therefore act in a weak manner.
I think it's very interesting and fascinating, and host boys are some of the most endearing, warm, hilarious beings I have ever met. If you walk near Dotonbori Bridge at night, heaps of hosts are trying to get girls to visit their clubs, and they love engaging in random conversations. Here are some pictures of typical host boys:
{Which one do you pick? I'd go for Kenji}
{My new best friends, Dotonbori Bridge, Osaka}
Also, there is a great documentary about host boys, that is actually very sad. If you can find it, I highly recommend watching it. It's called The Great Happiness Space: Tale of an Osaka Love Thief.
Tokyo Girls is a 2000 documentary in which four Canadian girls share their experience working as hostesses in Japan.
Thanks to Isabel for the pictures.

Such horrible logic. I have seen this pop up so much with the popularity of fantasy football. "Well, if you remove X players long TD run, he had a horrible day." The game of football does not work that way. The exact same thing could be said for AZ, without their good plays they could have been shutout. We weren't shutout, we were moments away from winning the game.
Either way, to think that this is the worst offensive performance from a QB is extremely myopic.

Wavelet transforms in generalized Fock spaces

A generalized Fock space is introduced as it was developed by Schmeelk [1-5], also Schmeelk and Takači [6-8]. The wavelet transform is then extended to this generalized Fock space. Since each component of a generalized Fock functional is a generalized function, the wavelet transform acts upon the individual entry much the same as was developed by Mikusinski and Mort [9] based upon earlier work of Mikusinski and Taylor [10]. It is then shown that the generalized wavelet transform applied to a member of our generalized Fock space produces a more appropriate functional for certain appfications.

Although you still have an active lifestyle, maybe it's time to downsize and get rid of that trophy house. Is your house so large that you and your partner need GPS devices to find each other? Is your house so big that you need a Mini Cooper to drive from room to room?
Thousands of others just like you are discovering that after years of non-stop child traffic in and out of your doors, messy floors and closets, endless laundry, random meal times and alien music that could shatter concrete, suddenly you can hear a pin drop over the quiet hum of the refrigerator. The freer years ahead are exciting ones to look forward to, and it may be time for you to move onward.
Selling your home is now one of the most important steps in your life. Above all else, work with your real estate agent to successfully plan your current home sale and next purchase.
To help you understand the selling issues involved in making such a move, take a look at the following considerations. These nine ideas will give you a few secrets so you can take control, sell your home more quickly, reduce stress and anxiety, and then easily move onward toward living your new goals. So, just relax.
1. Know why you're selling and keep it to yourself. The reason why you are selling is your secret — do not reveal it. Responding to this seemingly benign question can enable someone else to take advantage of you.
2. Do your homework before setting a price. Be sure to know the market trends and discuss a pricing strategy with your agent. Pricing too high in a downward market can be just as problematic as pricing too low in an upward market.
3. Find out what other homes are selling for. Actually, your agent should do this for you. Find out what comparable homes in your area have sold for in the recent past and research what current homes are listed for.
4. Find a good real-estate agent to represent your needs. When was the last time you flew somewhere? Before flight time did you interview the pilot with whom you entrusted your life? No, of course you didn't — rarely do we have an opportunity to vet the people who handle our daily business. In real estate, however, you have that luxury, so take advantage of it. Take a little time to seek out a knowledgeable and pro-active agent.
5. Maximize your home's sales potential. The look and feel of your home generates a greater emotional response than any other factor. Present your home to get a "wow" response from prospective buyers.
6. Make it easy for prospects to get information on your home. You may be surprised to know that not all marketing tools used to sell homes are effective. You need an agent who has an aggressive marketing plan to maximize the exposure to your home, and it MUST be effective within the first 30 days — otherwise you are day-old bread.
7. Know your buyer. In the negotiation process, knowing the buyer's motivation gives you the upper hand.
8. Make sure the contract is complete. For your part as a seller, make sure you disclose everything. Smart sellers disclose all known defects to their buyers in writing, and in so doing, give the impression of honest dealing.
9. Don't move out before you sell. Studies have shown that it is more difficult to sell a home that is vacant because it looks forlorn, forgotten — simply not appealing. It could even cost you thousands. If you move, you may shift the leverage of negotiation in favor of the buyer.
If you do consider downsizing, be sure to consult with an appropriate tax consultant first, as you may encounter capital gains or other tax considerations.
Do you have a question about real estate in San Diego? Send your inquiries to email@example.com. We will respond directly to you, and those questions that have a broader public appeal will be published along with our next column in La Jolla TODAY.

Voter ID laws - which require government-issued identification before voting - have become a political and racial flashpoint across the United States. Democrats generally oppose the measures and many Republicans back them.
The trial in Milwaukee combines two federal lawsuits filed on behalf of dozens of individual voters by several organizations including the League of United Latin American Citizens, Milwaukee Area Labor Council and the American Civil Liberties Union.
"As the leading democracy of the world, the U.S. should work to keep our voting system free, fair, and accessible to all Americans," said Penda Hair, a director at the Advancement Project, an organization that helped bring the suits to be heard by the federal court. "Yet we are witnessing the greatest assault on voting rights in decades."
About three dozen U.S. states have passed laws requiring voters to show identification at the polls. Supporters say the measures prevent election fraud while critics contend the laws make it harder for low-income and minority citizens to vote.
In August, the U.S. Justice Department sued Texas, accusing state lawmakers of denying racial minorities the right to vote. During the same month, an appellate court blocked Pennsylvania's voter ID law on similar grounds.
The Wisconsin measure, passed in 2011 by a Republican-controlled legislature, requires voters to present photo identification such as a driver's license at polling places for federal, state and local elections.
Supporters say it prevents voter fraud by requiring would-be voters to prove that they are citizens and are registered to vote.
The law helps prevent fraud "by making it much more difficult for those who commit voter fraud to pose as registered voters or register under fictitious names," said Republican Wisconsin Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen in a 2011 memo to lawmakers before the law was passed.
The federal suit accuses the state of violating the Voting Rights Act, which bars voting practices that discriminate based on race.
According to one of the complaints, blacks and Latinos are "far less likely" than whites to have a drivers license and are less likely to obtain identification and "face difficulties in doing so."
As a result, the law requiring voters to show identification to cast a ballot "makes it significantly more difficult for members of these groups to vote and thereby suppresses their vote," the complaint said.
Altogether, four lawsuits have been filed against the voter identification law in Wisconsin, two in federal court and two in state court.
In one of the state cases, implementation of the law was blocked by a circuit court judge, though it is now on appeal. In the other state case, the Wisconsin Fourth District Court of Appeals upheld the law, overturning a lower court ruling that struck it down.
It is not immediately clear how a decision in the federal trial will affect the state cases.
The voter identification law was not in effect during two key recent elections - the general election in November, 2012, nor the election in June, 2012, when Republican Governor Scott Walker survived an attempt to recall him from office.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – It was announced last week that MIT's Emily Kuo (Chicago, Ill.), Meghan Wright (Devon, Pa.) and Andrea Park (Irvine, Calif.) were selected to play in this weekend's annual New England Women's Intercollegiate Soccer Association (NEWISA) Senior Bowl. The game, which features the best seniors from across New England, will be played at the fields of Merrimack College in North Andover, Mass. at 11:00 a.m. on Sunday, Dec. 2. This is the eighth year that MIT has had players selected to play in the Senior Bowl and the first time that three Engineers have earned the nod. The game will include players from all three divisions that were voted on by coaches from across the region.
Kuo, the leading overall vote getter on the Division III ballot, played and started all 21 games during her senior season. The NEWMAC Athlete of the Year scored a team-leading 13 goals and 27 points this season, bringing her career goals total to 42 and points total to 104, placing her fourth in the MIT record book in both categories. She was also named NEWMAC first team All-Conference.
Wright, who earned the most votes among the three goalkeepers selected, played every minute of the 21 games this season and wrapped things up with a record of 14-4-3. She posted nine shutouts, bringing her career record to 37, putting her atop the standings in the MIT record book. Wright was named to the NEWMAC Academic All-Conference team, NEWMAC second team All-Conference and the CoSIDA Academic All-District team.
A staple of the MIT defense, Park was one of only five Engineers who played and started all 21 games this season. Her two goals were scored ten minutes apart against Husson (10/09), leading MIT to a 5-0 win. The senior was a NEWMAC first team All-Conference honoree and a first-time CoSIDA Academic All-District nominee.
