X-Men Legends II: Rise of Apocalypse is an action role-playing game developed primarily by Raven Software and published by Activision. It is the follow up to 2004's X-Men Legends. It was first released in September 2005 for the GameCube, Microsoft Windows, N-Gage, PlayStation 2, PlayStation Portable and Xbox video game platforms. It is set after the events of X-Men Legends and features the mutant supervillain Apocalypse as the primary antagonist.
The developers intended the game to have a greater sense of scale than its predecessor, and writers created a story where the villains known as the Brotherhood of Mutants would need to ally themselves with the heroic X-Men to defeat a greater threat. High quality cinematics were created by Blur Studio. Online multiplayer was also added.
The game was well received by gaming critics on all platforms. Critics felt that the inclusion of online play, additional mutant powers, and a larger cast made the game an improvement over its predecessor. Some reviewers were critical of the game's voice acting and felt that the gameplay was repetitive. It sold enough copies to be added to the budget line known as PlayStation 2's Greatest Hits.

New featuresEdit
X-Men Legends II contains expanded versions of the gameplay features from the original X-Men Legends, with several notable additions:
- Online multiplayer modes.
- New characters are playable, including characters from the X-Men and the Brotherhood.
- New powers and abilities are available for all characters, and the player can switch between more than 4 mutant powers at once.
- Several characters from the first X-Men Legends were dropped from the roster of playable characters in the sequel: Jubilee, Magma (despite her being the main character of the first game) and Psylocke do not appear in X-Men Legends II, and Beast and Emma Frost appear, but they are not playable. A boss from the first game, Avalanche, also did not get mentioned in this game.
Despite the similarities with the comic book continuity, the continuity of the X-Men Legends games are in a continuity of their own. The story of X-Men Legends II is inspired by the Age of Apocalypse storyline from the Marvel Comics series to coincide with the 10th anniversary of that event. It is not, however, a direct adaptation of the storyline. The original Age of Apocalypse occurred as a result of Professor X having been killed by a time traveler prior to his forming of the X-Men; Apocalypse was awakened from hibernation by this event and proceeded to take over an unprepared world. Apocalypse's rule in the game comes about as a result of events in the present day, and is not dependent on Xavier's absence. Some of the events and many of the principal characters still exist in the game the same as they do in the Age of Apocalypse, but many others exist as they do in the normal Marvel Universe. Notable differences in continuity include:
- Sugar Man, a character who originated in the Age of Apocalypse, says that Apocalypse helped him escape the Age of Apocalypse, but he references the Age of Apocalypse as having been a future timeline, whereas the original storyline took place in the present.
- Of Apocalypse's four Horsemen (Mister Sinister, Mikhail, Holocaust and Abyss, all but Sinister are the same as they were in the Age of Apocalypse. In the normal Marvel Universe, Holocaust is from the comic's Age of Apocalypse storyline, but now dead, Abyss is a much more heroic figure, Sinister has been an adversary of Apocalypse for years, and Mikhail is unaffiliated with Apocalypse.
- In the game, Beast and Angel are kidnapped by Apocalypse and unwillingly transformed into Dark Beast and Archangel, respectively. In the comics, Dark Beast is the Beast's evil counterpart from the Age of Apocalypse timeline, and Angel was willingly transformed after he lost his wings.
- In the game, the Scarlet Witch, Juggernaut and Pyro are all still members of the Brotherhood; in the comic book continuity, the former two are heroes and Pyro is dead (although Scarlet Witch briefly admits that she and Quicksilver stay with Magneto to try and balance his actions with justice). Banshee appears in the game, but was apparently killed in a comic book published shortly after the game was released.
- The X-Men's appearances and costumes are based on their Ultimate Marvel counterparts, with the exceptions of Juggernaut (whose costume is based on the traditional design), & Pyro, Scarlet Witch, & Bishop, (who has Ultimate counterpart as of the time of the game's production until the post-game release). However, costumes based on the classic, current and Age of Apocalypse versions of almost all characters are unlockable by progressing through the game.
- The Cerci, a race of insect enemies, are based on the Brood from the comics; they are referred to as such in the game's viewable concept art, and one type of Cerci is called a "Brood Queen". However, while the Brood are highly intelligent aliens, the Cerci are genetically engineered creatures with animal-like intelligence. As you fight the Cerci, some have a name with "Brood" in the title, as well.
- Sabretooth is pictured as one of Magneto's henchmen when he's supposed to work for Mr. Sinister.
- The storyline also derives elements from the X-Men storyline "Apocalypse: The Twelve". In this storyline, as in the game, Apocalypse is searching for specific mutants to power the machine that will make him a god. However, in the game, there are four mutants rather than twelve, and they are wanted because they have "harmonic DNA". It is interesting to note that only Polaris from the original "Twelve" is in "The Four" who are used in the game.
- Apparently, Sabretooth and Pyro's full playable file was found on PS2 version, as they were originally meant to be playable in that version as well, especially there should be possible that these characters should be playable on PSP version as well. The only known tip to play as these characters on PS2 now, is to use via mod.
- However, in PSP version, their files are still incomplete
- Additionally, an incomplete files of Aurora and Avalanche was found inside PS2 file game.
Online & MultiplayerEdit
X-Men Legends II: Rise of Apocalypse brings up to 4 players either offline or online. Players who have purchased it on the Xbox can play online via Xbox Live. During Xbox Live play, however, only the "Danger Room" and "Campaign" modes can be played. Players must also have the unlocked the "Danger Room Disc" that they wish to play.
- N-Gage: Up to four players. Players will need to activate their bluetooth to connect and play.
- PSP: Up to four players.

"Someday. That's a dangerous word. It's really just a code for never"
– Tom Cruise as Roy Miller in "Knight and Day"
When is Someday ever going to come?
No, not Sunday, Someday.
You know that day. You've dreamt and talked about it all these years. I'm not sure of the context but I imagine it's been something like:
"Someday, I'm going to go to Europe and see the Eifel Tower, or walk the streets of Italy or share a pint with the locals in Ireland."
"Someday, I'm going to write a book or learn a musical instrument."
"Someday, I'm going to quit this job that brings me little satisfaction and pursue something on my own that I'm passionate about."
"Someday I'm going to get out of debt"
"Someday I'm going to get out of this dead end relationship and find someone who is crazy about me and will love me emphatically"
"Someday I'm going to live on the beach"
"Someday I'm going to stop worrying about money"
"Someday I'm going to have the body I've always wanted"
"Someday I'm going to put my needs first for a change"
"Someday I'm going to _____________________________________."

There has been massive buzz about the new hit show "Empire" and with fourteen million people watching, it is certainly having an effect. It seems you can't engage in any social media without happening upon a post or tweet about the latest episode. People are watching and talking about it, but what kinds of discussions are they having? Maybe a more important question is what kind of discussions should we be having? If you are a regular reader of this blog, then you know what kind of discussion we are about to engage in.
Ratings don't lie…"Empire" is a hit. The show is heralded as being a breakthrough for viewership of a mostly Black cast. I suppose this is a good thing, possibly even a testament to "progress"…except I have to ask, the progression of what? There has been sharp criticism of the show as it is analyzed and dissected by those thinking profoundly about its "effect." The most common rebuttal to this criticism is that the show is just entertainment, so there is no real harm. Well, the word entertainment means "the action of providing or being provided with amusement or enjoyment." There is no exclusion of harm in this definition.
Dog fighting is very much entertaining to a segment of the population (not with me), but I dare say there is great harm in it. Watching videos of people in compromising situations is constantly entertaining people…and many of those videos show harm. Entertainment does not mean there is no harm. Anybody saying "Empire" is not harmful because it is entertaining has now been educated as to why this statement is fallacious.
That said…what harm could this show possibly have on anyone? It has been meticulously compared to "Dynasty" and the comparison seems to be a pretty sound one…except for the fact that the Carringtons would have to go "gangsta" to aptly mirror its African-American alter ego. Umm…what? I don't think the Carringtons were about that life…and when you stop to think about it, is being "about that life" helpful or positive in any way at all? Understand that comparisons of "Empire" to any other soap really stops when the show is predicated on reinforcing a stereotype that is literally killing Black people.
To a young person watching this show and thinking they can also make it big….where do you think they will have to start? What example does the main character Lucious Lyon set? For that matter, extrapolate this line of thought to the Hip-Hop music industry and tell me it's a positive path to success where those that make it impart wisdom and positivity to those listening to them. I won't lay it all on the industry though, because if we as a people don't demand more for ourselves, then we are getting exactly what we are settling for…which is mostly garbage.
Am I supposed to be blinded to more of the same in the form of "Empire" because it's soapy, shocking, has music, displays fashion and tackles the issue of homosexuality? If only I could be that shallow.
Sure, it's great that Black actors and actresses are being given work and I don't begrudge anyone from making a living and providing for their family. It's just sad this show has to be the vehicle by which they do it…but the sadness is not with the show (Hollywood can make whatever they want), it's with the people that have no idea they are swallowing the wrong pill and choosing to remain in the Matrix.
There are lots of reasons why "Empire" works on television…and none of them matter a bit. When the country we live in is rife with our youth being shot by law enforcement and constantly depicted as nothing more than thugs by the media, we have to ask ourselves…are the ratings of "Empire" a reflection of this sad reality, or is the show helping to perpetuate a detrimental cultural mentality?
We know we can't count on the media for answers as they are simply an extension of the same machine that powers the very industry in question. There can be no profound discussion had with those that seek to perpetuate the very problem that needs our collective attention. How can there be when reason and wisdom are vilified? So once again….the task remains with us, and once again we will either rise to deal with the issue…or continue to let the issue define us as a cycle of self-destruction.

Year One Curriculum
Times Table
Year 1 Curriculum
| At Park Hill, particularly because many of our pupils begin their school life without the oracy skills appropriate for their age, we recognise the importance of spoken language in the development of reading and writing and, indeed, of the whole individual. The skills of speaking and listening are explicitly taught and children are given a wide range of opportunities to practise these skills and develop confidence and competence.
Throughout the School, children talk about their learning, developing ideas and understanding through discussion, asking questions, being able to listen carefully to others' views and giving them time to respond, sometimes challenging others' viewpoints, negotiating with others in group work and considering a range of viewpoints. Talk partners are often used as a strategy to encourage discussion in lessons. Relevant vocabulary is explicitly taught in lessons across the curriculum so that our children's knowledge and understanding of vocabulary increases. Talk for Writing, which is used throughout the school in order to embed key vocabulary in children's minds, is one such method that is employed on a regular basis.
For younger pupils, opportunities to develop their spoken language include role play within the indoor and outdoor learning environments where children can explore language in contexts such as a garage or a hairdresser's or a café, for example. As the children become older, opportunities are extended with the children preparing to speak to an audience using ICT presentations or posters as prompts. Children in Year 6 learn to use spoken language in a formal debate.
Spoken language is also developed through drama activities as children improvise, refine and rehearse scripts and learn to present these to an audience – for example – in their class assemblies. Rehearsing ideas through role play and spoken language enables children to explore different genres, identify with characters and develop vocabulary: teachers often use this approach as preparation to improve the quality of written work.
During the year we run poetry performance competitions where children of all ages can showcase their ability to learn off texts by heart and perform poems of their choice with expression and actions.
Every week a talk homework topic is sent home for the children to talk about with their families and then come back into school to discuss with their teachers and peers.
We promote respect towards all languages and dialects that children may bring into school with them. We value all languages and recognise home languages as a stepping-stone to progress in the use of English.
| At Park Hill, reading is taught as a separate lesson from writing. However, we very much try to link reading and writing activities so that often the same genre is being taught in both
lessons. The children are taught reading skills, which are based around progression statements connected with:
* decoding and blending (for Year 1)
* recognition of 'tricky' words on sight (for Years 1 and 2)
* retrieval of information from a text
* interpretation of information
* prediction of what might happen next
* commenting on the writer's use of language, structure and presentation
* performance of a text
* discussing what is read and justifying their views
* identifying the writer's purpose and viewpoint (for Years 3 upwards)
In Years 1 to 4, reading is taught in five 30 minute sessions, separate from the writing lesson, every week. We use a wide selection of differentiated guided reading books, the class libraries and the two school libraries as a source of books. In Years 3 and 4, some children on the Special Needs Register use the Rapid Reading Scheme.
In the reading lessons, our learning is based around the following cycle:
* The teaching assistant reads a text with a group.
* The teacher works with the group on the same text the teaching assistant has prepared with them the day before and the major part of the lesson involves interrogation of a text that the children have been reading. Questioning will relate to a particular progression statement pertinent to that year group and their ability. The teacher sets a follow-up activity for the group on the text they have worked on.
* The other two days are used for independent reading, including using the Reading Eggs computer program (which is also available to use at home), and reading comprehensions. KS1 pupils (and all those KS2 pupils working on the Special Needs Register) also complete extra phonics and word recognition activities.
* Every two weeks there is an unseen reading comprehension, which is usually differentiated two ways.
We have close links with our local library, Balsall Heath, and are often involved in projects with them. We make regular visits to the library and the librarians frequently come into school to speak not only to the children but also to their parents to help promote a love of reading and make them aware of the library's facilities.
| In writing, we base our learning around the Writing Cycle which takes the following format:
* Immersion in a genre incorporating: Talk for Writing, role play, book talk, class discussion, paired discussion, sentence construction, punctuation and grammar work related to the end piece of writing to be written, modelling of the writing by the teacher, text marking of modelled texts in the same genre as the one to be written and short pieces of writing.
* Planning for 'The Big Write' – this is very much a supported activity involving writing frames and differentiated success criteria.
* Writing the 'Big Write' with the aid of success criteria provided by the teacher. Again, this is a supported activity.
* Proof reading and evaluating own work. Sometimes, the children proof read together with a partner and evaluate it together.
* 'Close the Gap' lesson – general learning point which the teacher has picked up from marking the books will be taught to the whole class. This is followed by the children working on their own 'close the gap' comments which have been highlighted by the teacher in their books.
* 'Cold Write' – the children plan and write an unseen piece in the same genre. Children also write their own success criteria.
* Again the children spend some time proof reading their own work and then evaluating it.
* Peer marking – this piece is marked by another child against the success criteria. The marker should state what they have particularly liked about the piece of writing and what they feel could be developed further. Both comments must relate to the success criteria. Sometimes, the children work in pairs whereby they look with a partner at their own piece of writing and then at their partner's.
* Performance of their writing might take place at any of these stages listed above. We try hard to make sure there is a real purpose and audience for the children's writing.

|Grammar and punctuation points are taught at the beginning of English lessons, where they are relevant to the genre being worked on. There are also discrete lessons in grammar and punctuation from Year 2 upwards.
| We use the Letters and Sounds programme for the teaching of phonics.
Letters and Sounds is a focused teaching strategy that teaches children how the alphabet works for reading and spelling and is taught through 6 phases:
Phase 1 supports the development of spoken language.
Phase 2-5 is a systematic approach to phonics teaching and word recognition skills
Phase 6- focuses on word-specific spellings and the rules for spelling alternatives.
Phonics is taught as a discrete session every day in Nursery, Reception, Year 1 and Year 2. Each lesson is taught by the teacher to the whole class, although the learning is differentiated according to ability within the lesson. Phonics is still taught to those children in Key Stage 2 who do not have a secure phonic knowledge.
|At Park Hill we aim to equip children with the skills to write in a handwriting style that is fluent, joined and legible. Children throughout the school use a cursive script where all letters start with a lead-in from the line and have a tiny hook on the end of them, which makes it easier to join them. Lower case g, y and j are not joined and neither are capital letters. Some children begin to join their letters in Year 2 but it is expected that all children will be joining their letters by Year 4 when every child is must use a pen for all their writing.

Accessible Elementary Schools: A Renovation Planning and Design Manual. [Final Report].
Allen, William; And Others
The manual is intended to help school districts comply with federal mandates for physical accessibility and least restrictive settings for handicapped elementary school children. A general introduction to the accessibility concept in chapter 1 considers the historical background, the role of the physical environment, and existing federal guidelines and regulations. Results of a survey of over 50 schools are reported in chapter 2, along with illustrations of 22 common problems (such as inadequate fire safety provisions, circulation hazards, unsafe stairs, limited access in libraries, inadequate furniture and cabinetry, and playgrounds not designed with disability in mind). Chapter 3 focuses on accessibility implementation, noting planning factors, problem identification, and cost estimating procedures. The fourth chapter presents technical information for the design of barrier free renovations, presenting solutions to problems posed in chapter 2. In the final chapter, case studies illustrate actual schools' application of design guidelines in renovating facilities. (CL)

As I woke up at 5:30 a.m. this morning I hesitated on getting out of bed knowing that in 30 minutes I would have to be giving it my all, at what I was imaging would be a brutal WOD. But you know what pushed me to get up anyway and start getting ready to head to the 6 a.m. WOD at the box? It was my kids, no they weren't up already, thank God. It was the fact that on days when there is a 6 a.m. WOD available, I don't have to miss out on any time with my kids. Being that I go to CrossFit usually 5 days a week, I try and minimize the time I am away from home while the kiddos are awake. It can be tough to head out for work at 8 a.m., get home at 5 p.m., catch up with my wife, play with the kids for a few minutes, and then get dressed quickly to hit an evening WOD, to just get home in time to either put the kids to bed or give that final kiss goodnight. I obviously think it is very important to be present with my kids, but it is also very important to do things for yourself that you love. The trick is figuring out how to balance everything. I think I have developed a good balance now by choosing the WOD times that are least impactful to my homelife, bringing my kids to WODs to socialize with the other CF kids, and knowing when it is just better to skip a day than leave my wife alone with two kids on a day when they seem to be struggling with the whole listening to rules thing. How do you balance your passion for CrossFit with your family life? This would be a great area to share any tips and tricks for others.
Now for one of my favorite Paleo recipes, Sloppy Joes. This is a super quick fix, tastes great, and is very satisfying. It is also great for leftovers. Copy the link below in your browser.

The arrival of Deliveroo in Australia changed the way many inner-city consumers look at food delivery for the better – for James Jordan, it meant the swift demise of the startup he had spent months building.
Sprout Kitchen is a Melbourne-based startup that allows businesses to rent out flexible kitchen space. The startup provides a service for restaurants to expand into new suburbs and areas without the overheads of cost and a locked in contract.

Hello my friends!
This week I have been very busy due to a lot of overdue commitments. Hmmm, I need to reorganize my tasks and do some serious time-management here, really. Have you experienced that feeling when you can't start something for there are so many things running in your mind. Eeek! That's me starting Monday.. I know some of you can relate to that. How I wish there's a button to just do those thing in an instant or a "Justine look-a-like robot" to replace me.. haha not so good idea :)
So to relax and freshen me up for the coming week, I did some DIY rituals! For my stressed hair, I am a fan of L'oreal Elseve Re-Nutrition Hair Mask. See I'm on my way in finishing my first tub!
L'oreal Elseve Re-Nutrition Replenishing Hair Mask
Enriched with Royal Jelly, an exceptional concentration of combined elements. It bathes very dry hair in nourishing ingredients to replenish the fibre with moisture, so your hair regains elasticity, bounce and suppleness.
After shampoo, squeeze out excess moisture and apply generously, concentrating on the tips. Leave for 1-2 minutes before rinsing. Rinses out easily. In case of contact with eyes, rinse them immediately.
- Moisturized my dried out hair
- Hair feels silky and soft everytime I touch it..hubby too :)
- Great smell
- Nice moussey texture
- Very affordable
- None. That's how I love this product.
For those people who may consider the big opening unhygienic, it's best to scoop it with a spatula. I don't directly dig in into the tub. And of course this won't create a miracle in saving your hair overnight, make it a habit! Once a week is enough. Better if you let it stay for an hour or so on a cling wrap.
Will I buy this again?
I still have 2 stocks with me!
Where and How much?
This product can be found on all leading department stores and supermarkets. I bought mine at Watsons for PhP375.
Just to show you the effects on my hair :)

Our skeletons naturally lose strength as we grow older. Here's how you can protect your bones and save yourself from injury by doing daily chores correctly.
Always sit up straight.
Pick a chair that supports the curve of your lower back (or use a roll-up towel or lumbar roll). Sit with your spine lengthened, shoulder wide.
Prepare for a cough or sneeze.
Sudden sneezes can jerk a weakened torso forwards and injure the spine. If you feel one coming on, bend your knees, back straight, and put a hand on your thigh for support. Or brace your lower back with your hand to stay upright.
Do chores correctly.
Take care as you vacuum, mop floor or sweep the deck. Bend fromyour knees and hips, not your waist. Don't twist; push rather and push
Bend from your hips. When you learn down to load the washing machine or make the bed, don't sag from your waist. Instead, bend at your knees and hips, keeping your lower back straight.
Open with care. Triying to lift a stuck or heavy object is a common cause of compressioon fractures, because it puts a great deal of pressure on your spine. Ask someone to help.

Heart Rate Variability
Pulse Wave ProfilerThe PWP Scanning modality measures Heart Rate Variability (HRV). HRV is the beat-to-beat variation in heart rate. This natural rise and fall of heart rate is caused by several physiologic phenomena, including breathing and autonomic nervous system activity.
Healthcare professionals utilize HRV for a wide variety of clinical applications. Chiropractors use HRV to get a window into how the autonomic nervous system (ANS) modulates heart rate in the baseline or resting state.
The PWP measures the variations in heart rate of a patient in a resting state. Under resting conditions, the ECG of healthy individuals exhibits periodic variation in the interbeat intervals.
Studies have shown that reduced HRV is a strong and independent predictor of mortality following an acute myocardial infarction (Bigger et al., 1992; Kleiger, Miller, Bigger, & Moss, 1987; Malik, Farrell, Cripps, & Camm, 1989).
Studies have also suggested a link between reduced HRV and conditions such as hypertension (Guzzetti et al., 1988; Langewitz, Ruddel, & Schachinger, 1994; Novak, Novak, de Champlain, & Nadeau, 1994), diabetes (Bernardi et al., 1992), obesity (Kupari, Virolainen, Koskinen, & Tikkanen, 1993) negative emotions (Kawachi, Sparrow, Vokonas, & Weiss, 1995; Sloan et al., 1994; Yeragani et al., 1990; Yeragani et al., 1993).
There is also a significant inverse correlation between HRV and age (Kohara et al., 1996; Yo et al., 1994). Some excellent HRV research information can be found at... www.macses.ucsf.edu/Research/Allostatic/notebook/heart.rate.html.
Chiropractic Care improves HRVHRV was used as the autonomic measurement in a recent independent research study headed by Dr John Zhang, M.D., Ph.D., in which 96 doctors of differing techniques adjusted 625 patients.
The study, published in the Journal of Chiropractic Education [Vol19, No 1, 2005] concluded that, based on the HRV results, "chiropractic care is associated with a shift to a healthy autonomic nervous system balance." For the first time, chiropractors are able to measure how a patient responds to their environment, by viewing sympathetic/parasympathetic balance. Chiropractors can demonstrate through their actions that subluxations affect more than the spine.
What information is gathered during the PWP scan?The Instantaneous Heart Rate (IHR) - This view shows the actual heart rate over the entire data collection period. As you can see from this graph, the average heart rate over this period is around 67, but the actual values range from less than 55 to over 85 - this variability is exactly what we are measuring with this protocol.
The Blue line at the bottom indicates the SCR (skin conductance response) values. In this scan, the SCR remains under the black line (threshold), indicating that there was no unexpected "spike" in nervous system arousal.

Monday 22nd January is Wellington Anniversary day, a public holiday in the Wellington region. We decided to make a long weekend of it and take a short break to Nelson for a few days. We hadn't been to Nelson since October 2015, when we concentrated on the Nelson lakes area. This time we decided to re-visit the Abel Tasman track in the Abel Tasman National Park, which we'd not visited since – blimey! – 2012.
To this end, we decided to base ourselves in Motueka instead of Nelson town. This is a small town on the opposite side of Tasman Bay, a short drive from Nelson. We took a Sounds Air flight into Nelson – for which you fly due west, even though it's on the South Island. This part of the South Island is in fact on the same parallel as Wellington.
We collected a rental car and decided to drive into Nelson first, as we wouldn't be checking in until the afternoon. We re-familiarised ourselves with the town, and had a light lunch at Ford's Restaurant. In the afternoon we walked up the river track and watched ducks shooting the rapids with some success, and some backpackers attempting to do so with rather less. (They had to get out and walk – too shallow!) After taking a quick turn around the Queen's Gardens, we headed back and took the short drive round to Motueka (or MotchOOka, as the car's Australian-accented satnav insisted on calling it). We checked into our accommodation, and then went out to New World to stock up on provisions for our stay.
In the evening we went out to what TripAdvisor reckons is probably the best restaurant in Motueka. We later learnt that this wasn't due to fierce competition. Precinct Dining Co provide good, fresh, well-cooked food, presented and served well. It's nothing fancy, but otherwise you can't really fault it.
The following morning, we made our leisurely way to Kaiteriteri, to pick up our ride to the Abel Tasman track. We'd booked ahead with Abel Tasman Sea Shuttles (I had to check this, as there are four different companies, all with very similar names) to take us to Tonga Quarry, with a pick-up at Medlands Beach. This is a more northerly section of the track than we'd done last time, but still takes about the same time to walk. On the way we passed Split Apple Rock, and also had a quick tour around Adele Island, where we saw a baby seal and her mum. The baby was only about a week old, and had yet to venture into the water, apparently.
The boat dropped us at Tonga Quarry and, after a quick stop to take some pics of a weka which was scrounging around the campers on the beach, we set off on the track. It was a hot day so we took it easy, with frequent stops especially on the uphill stretches. A fantail (a juvenile I think) posed for some pictures for us on the way. We also saw bellbirds, but too far away to photograph (I'd left my big lens behind as it's too heavy to lug about). You realise how spoilt we are in Wellington with Zealandia, and how tame the birds there are compared to in the wild.
Despite taking it easy, we were in fact at the pick-up beach in time for the 1:30pm return trip – we'd originally planned for the 3:30pm return. No point hanging around an empty beach for two hours, we thought…let's get back and explore Motueka further.
In the late afternoon we went out looking for Motueka beach. This turned out to be a schoolboy error – it doesn't have one. What it has instead is the saltwater baths – i.e. a swimming pool which fills up from the sea with every high tide; and a sandspit, which is home to various seabirds. We saw oystercatchers both pied and variable, bar-tailed godwits, white-faced herons and pied stilts.
We got some dinner later at Elevation Café in Motueka. We liked it so much we went back there for breakfast the next day.

Chipotle Is The First Fast Food Restaurant To Get Rid Of Food That Contains Fillers Stabilizers Preservatives And Artificial Flavors
McDonalds should have kept their interest in Chipotle Mexican Grill. The home of the Big Mac is losing market share to Chipotle, and there's a good reason. The fast food market is changing, and Chipotle knows what that change means to them. McDonalds is dancing around the real reason their sales are dropping, and Chipotle is addressing the issue head-on.
Consumers want to eat right these days. They don't want processed food filled with synthetic everything, but McDonalds would rather serve a limited breakfast menu all day than change some of their McNasty ingredients.
Foodies at STX Entertainment know that Chipotle is setting the bar high for other fast food restaurants. The days when fast food meant low-end ingredients, so-so service and a plastic-looking interior are over. Let's face it. Fast food isn't as cheap as it used to be, so why not upgrade the food instead of putting all that extra money on the bottom line.
American consumers are being taken advantage of by the retail industry, especially the food segment of that industry. Consumers are rebelling against the mediocracy that exists in our retail food chains, and Chipotle is doing something meaningful to quash that rebellion in their segment of retail.

I took a holiday starting December 19, 2007 till January 3rd 2008.... and I have gamed more in the last 2 weeks than in the last 18 years.
My buddy Neil came over and we played 10 games of War Machine, 10 games of AT-43 and others. Santa brought World of Warcraft the board game for Christmas and we've played that 3 times already (trust me, it's a LONG game).
I've played Warmachine with my son's and when the SO saw how much fun Neal and I were having she's even indicated that she's interested in learning how to play. I think it was the artwork on the Khador set that Neil had.
I didn't get any Warmachine for Xmas because I got lots of stuff for it over the year, but I got my AT-43 goodies (except my Karmen.... damn you Rackham... December release my ass).
But this has to be one of the best holiday's I've had in a long time (Disney World doesn't count, you have fun there even if your the meanest, most unhappy person in the world).
On the Computer front.... we switched from Comcast (assholes) to DSL.... and the change has been life altering. Where we used to have a World of Warcraft disconnect every 30 minutes, we now can play for literally days with no lag or disconnects. Thanks Comcast for shafting your customers. Guess my $45 a month is going to Qwest now.
My SO also picked up 2 more copies of Guild Wars so my BIGS (Built in Gamers) and I can play together and quest our butts off.
Hopefully the good cheer and fun of gaming festivities doesn't wear off in the new year and we can keep it up.

On a snowy January evening in 2013, Sergei Filin, then director of the Bolshoi Ballet, was attacked by a masked man in the parking lot of his apartment complex in Moscow. A jar of sulfuric acid was tossed in his face; the assault, it was later discovered, had been engineered by a disgruntled dancer in the company. (The prosecution argued that he was upset that a fellow dancer, then his girlfriend, wasn't being offered the opportunities she deserved.) Even after several operations, Mr. Filin's eyesight is permanently impaired — he is almost blind in one eye — a condition he masks with designer sunglasses.
His career, too, has suffered. Last July, almost two years after he returned to the Bolshoi from a series of operations in Germany, it was announced that his contract would not be renewed. A recent documentary, "Bolshoi Babylon," suggests that he fell out of favor at the theater, particularly with the new general director, Vladimir Urin. Then, this year, a surprise: Mr. Filin had been offered a position, created specifically for him, as head of a new workshop for young choreographers at the Bolshoi.
Mr. Filin was in New York last week, judging dancers and presenting a choreography prize at the Youth America Grand Prix international ballet competition. Through a translator, he talked about the Bolshoi, his new job and how his life has changed since the attack. These are edited excerpts from that conversation.
Do you feel safe at the Bolshoi?
Mmm, I don't think I feel safe. Pavel Dmitrichenko, the dancer who organized the attack, has applied for a reduction of his jail term and it's very possible that he might leave prison. [He was sentenced to six years in prison in December 2013.]
Could he come back to the theater?
The decision would have to be taken by the new administration. Everything is possible in this world.
In the documentary "Bolshoi Babylon,'' you say that when you took the top job at the Bolshoi, "I made the wrong decision." Do you still feel that way?
I never regretted or doubted what I have done at the Bolshoi, but thinking back, the moment when I accepted the proposal was wrong, the timing was wrong. I didn't understand the internal situation in the theater. There were scandals in the company. The previous director [Gennady Yanin] had been forced to resign due to a sex scandal. I came to a company full of scandals and divided into different factions. It was too political. I did what I could, but the price was too high.
How has the attack affected your life and work?
Obviously my eyesight is not the same, and I have to take care of that all the time. I have to maintain the condition of my sight for the rest of my life. It's a major change and trauma created by that attack. But I don't think I was affected that much psychologically — I've gotten over it.
Still, it's a terrible thing that happened to you.
I still cannot believe the reason. There is no reason for such a savage attack. The claim was that he [Mr. Dmitrichenko] did it for his girlfriend, but after it happened and he was sentenced, he got married to someone else, and she got married to someone else. The love evaporated very fast. There are only questions why and for what.
Do you still have pain from your injuries?
Are you confident you can do your new job?
If I weren't sure I could keep going, I wouldn't have accepted.
What are your plans for it?
We're still figuring out the format, but I can say that the program is not a training or education program but a practicum or a workshop, an opportunity for those who have chosen this career to implement what they have learned. The ballets will be performed on the New Stage at the Bolshoi.
Have you chosen your first choreographers?
Yes. The first batch are [mostly] dancers from the Bolshoi. Some are finishing their dancing careers, but others are still early in their careers. I knew some of them because of work they did elsewhere. Some of them participated in various festivals. And there's one who works in Spain; he's Bulgarian but has a Spanish passport. At this point I have nine — men and women.
Do you see a lot of choreographic talent in Russia?
I have no opinion yet. When I see the results of their work, I will have an opinion.
What is your relationship with Vladimir Urin, the general director of the Bolshoi?
We have working relations. I don't feel any tension toward him, and I don't generate any situations that would create tension. You would never find any public mention where I express hostility toward Vladimir Urin. If you have this impression, then the source of this tension comes from the other side. In our work together since he was appointed general director, there have been many wonderful productions. I haven't tried to sabotage anything or create hostility or unrest in the company.
What is the atmosphere like in the company today?
There is a calm working atmosphere. There is friction, like at any company, but no big tsunamis.
What achievements as director are you most proud of?
My greatest achievement is everything that I left behind: I left a wonderful new repertoire and wonderful dancers. They hold upon their shoulders the whole repertoire. The public, the press and critics have elevated them. The first is Olga Smirnova, who in my opinion is one of the most interesting ballerinas in the world. And I'm proud I managed to bring masterpieces like "Onegin" by John Cranko and "Lady of the Camellias," by John Neumeier, and four original ballets created for the Bolshoi. If you see "Bolshoi Babylon" you can have the impression that everything was bad. But if everything was so lousy, how come so much was created?

5/5/2010 – Nearly 30% of patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) reported considerable relief after 4 weeks of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and the vast majority sustained these improvements for 3 months, according to a study published in the May issue of Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology.
11/13/08 – Based on a successful pilot study of a primarily at–home, self–administered cognitive behavior therapy program, a University at Buffalo (UB) behavioral scientist has received $8.5 million from the National Institute of Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) to conduct a seven–year, multi–site clinical trial of an at–home program developed at UB to treat the symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome.
06/25/08 – Persons with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) can relieve their symptoms as effectively by following a self–administered, at–home cognitive behavioral program as they can by undergoing a 10–week in–office program administered by a trained therapist, a new pilot study has shown.
10/18/95 – An independent panel convened by the National Institutes of Health today encouraged wider acceptance of behavioral and relaxation therapies for treating chronic pain and insomnia and emphasized the need for broader use of these therapies in conjunction with conventional medical care of these disorders.
A new government sponsored systematic review of outpatient services for chronic pain control has found wide disparity in the effectiveness of current practice in Britain. Injections of corticosteroids in or around the shoulder joint for shoulder pain, and intravenous regional sympathetic blockade were found to be ineffective, according to the Health Technology Assessment report produced as part of the NHS research and development strategy. The report also found that cognitive behavioral therapies were effective across a range of pain problems.

Great Photography Suggest That Everyone Should Know
Even though you possess developed an interest in taking pictures doesn't mean you are able to take good pictures. Fortunately that photography is certainly a skill that may be learned with a little study and a whole lot of practice. In the following paragraphs, we are going to review some important tips that can help any photographer to improve.
Stand near to your subjects for taking better pictures. Getting out of bed close will give you a better conceptual focus, and blots out background distractions. It allows you to zero in on facial expressions, important considerations for any photographer getting a portrait.
Little facts are often missed as soon as your subject is just too miles away.
Avoid capturing an overcast sky with your photos. Including way too much of a gray sky will make your pictures appear muted and washed-out. If you fail to exclude the overcast sky out of your shots, you really should consider taking black and white photos. However, if there's an attractive blue sky, utilize it as often as you desire to however, you should still keep in mind the sunshine.
Experiment with something totally new experiment, and don't forget in taking new and original pictures. When you take photographs, you should be working to develop your very own style. You need to show the photographed item by your point of view. Don't go ahead and take same pictures you've seen everywhere time and time again numerous times. Use your imagination, and shoot from unusual angles.
If being a serious photographer can be something for you to do, then you may need a dSLR. This camera is a single-lens reflex digicam and shows the subject as the photograph will be shot. Ideally you might get yourself a full framed DSLR camera that offers the largest image sensor with the highest detailed photographs.
Usually a photographer will be so interested in a landscape background which he neglects the specifics inside the foreground. However, this is actually the first position the viewer's eye will land. To produce a frame that is certainly striking and raise the depth of your respective photo, plan the foreground from the shot.
Spend some time to appreciate the small things when photographing on a break. These small details might appear unimportant during the time, nonetheless they will prove to add color and completeness later, when reflecting back. They are going to restore your good memories from the trip. Consider photographing stuff like signs in the street, odd storefronts, tickets to your museum or maybe the food sold by street vendors.
Do your greatest to create your models feel safe, especially if you do not know them. Lots of people can be suspicious of any photographer's motives. Be engaging, speak with them and request their permission to adopt their pictureshttp://www.youtube.com/embed/Dgp8AekVexM It's up to you to enable them to understand they're getting involved in your art, and you're not not looking to invade their privacy.
Now you determine what skills are needed to become a better photographer, you should begin practicing those skills regularly. The following tips can create a significant difference within your pictures if you try them out..

'Why should I do the hard ----?' David Cameron 'told aides he would rather quit than do all the work for his successor'
David Cameron told aides he would rather quit early than "do the hard s----" for six months before handing over to his successor, it was reported on Friday night.
The Prime Minister, who announced he was standing down within hours of the referendum vote being announced, is said to have told allies he had no wish to handle the delicate process of extricating Britain from the EU.
In his resignation speech, delivered in Downing Street, Mr Cameron said it would not be right for him to be the "captain of the ship" during the negotiations.
But the Sun reportedhe used rather more forthright language in discussions with his inner circle. "Why should I do all the hard s--- for someone else, just to hand it over to them on a plate?''
Announcing his willingness to stay in his post over the summer, Mr Cameron said he would seek to steady the ship and help calm the financial markets which proved as volatile as had been predicted ahead of a "no" vote.
The next stage of the withdrawal process will be triggering Article 50 of the 2007 Lisbon Treaty, signed by Gordon Brown, under which the Government must notify the remaining member states of the EU of its intention to leave the EU.
It is anticipated this is likely to take two years, but Mr Cameron set a far quicker timetable for his departure with a new leader expected to be in place for the Conservative party conference in October.
Boris Johnson, the former London mayor who returned to the Commons as MP for Uxbridge and South Ruislip at the last election, is the favourite for the job.
Whoever succeeds Mr Cameron will not only have to deal with the complex negotiations surrounding Britain's withdrawal but also pressure from Scotland, which voted overwhelmingly to remain in the EU, for a second independence referendum. Nicola Sturgeon, the Scottish First Minister, said she believed that another referendum was highly likely.
The situation in Northern Ireland is also potentially difficult, with the province also backing remain. Following the vote Martin McGuinness, the deputy first minister, called for a poll on a United Ireland.

Analysis & Opinions - The Diplomat
What Can Vietnam Learn From China's Economic Retaliation Against South Korea?
The dispute between South Korea and China over the deployment of the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system by the United States on South Korean soil has both political and economic ramifications. In particular, the retaliatory measures by the Chinese government against South Korea's decision to deploy THAAD have been surprisingly damaging to the export-oriented economy of South Korea.
According to a recent report by a senior researcher from the Economic Research Institute of the Industrial Bank of Korea (IBK), this economic retaliation by China may cost South Korea from $7.69 billion up to $14.76 billion in the worst-case scenario. As China is the biggest importer of South Korean exports (more than a quarter of South Korea's export revenues in 2015 came from China), the report concluded that the export sector of South Korea will likely be hit with the heaviest blow, with possible losses from the Chinese retaliation ranging from $4.14 to $8.27 billion (or from 5 percent to 10 percent of the total export value). Although suffering less in term of total loss, the tourism and entertainment sectors of South Korea will probably experience a much bigger percentage decrease (ranging from 10 percent to 30 percent) since they have been directly affected by Chinese government's moves to partially ban the sales of Korean entertainment content and to discourage the promotion of South Korean tours to Chinese customers, who held more than 34 percent of all South Korean tourist visas granted in 2016.

Every employer has a basic duty of care to ensure that the workplace is a safe and secure environment for the workplace to operate in. This is covered by a great many health and safety rules and regulations. Many of these tend to be very specific, and when it comes to the likes of electrical equipment and high-voltage circuitry, they need to be adhered to.
Electricity is a vital part of our lives, yet there is always a danger associated with it. Misuse can be fatal, and faults can cause a vast array of problems. One of the biggest and most potentially dangerous of electrical problems is that of arc flash. This is something that can occur when faults are found in a circuit, or at certain other instances, and that can occur at all levels of voltage. More dangerous in high-voltage circuits than standard ones, it is a problem that can cause serious injury, and even death.
So, what is arc flash, and why do we need to consider it in the workplace? Let's look at it in a little more detail.
What is Arc Flash?
All electrical circuits need to have a physical connection; that is, they need to be a circuit in complete to operate. An electrical arc – or arc flash – occurs when there is not a physical connection, but electricity manages to 'jump' between two points, forming a connection effectively in the air.
You can see this happening occasionally in the instance an incandescent light bulb 'blows'; in that moment, the electric current no longer has a bridge, but momentarily makes the leap between the two points. The result is that you see a bright flash and hear a bang; this is an arc flash on a minor scale.
On an industrial scale – where high-voltage circuits are involved that are far greater in power than our household one – the potential damage an arc flash can cause is simply colossal. The energy released – even though the actual act takes just a few moments – is massive, in terms of light and heat.
It can cause, in just a fraction of a second, heat so intense it can melt metal, and may shower anyone nearby with such debris, causing burns and other injuries. Indeed, exposure to an arc flash such as this can be fatal. This is why arc flash is a major problem in the workplace, and why it needs to be attended to as part of the health and safety routine.
You need to make sure you have reliable metering equipment – like that sold by Power Meters, to make sure you can check on all of your equipment and circuits.
Protective Gear
The fact is that, in many cases, arc flash is most likely to occur when a circuit is first switched on, but it should be said it can do so at any time. This is because of the sudden surge of electricity through the system. The most common injuries caused by arc flash include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Third-degree burns, usually very severe
- Eyesight loss or damage due to elector magnetic radiation
- Hearing loss or damage after the explosion
- Inhalation of extreme heat and gases
From the above, you can see that there is a strong call for specialist anti-arc flash protective clothing, and there is plenty to be found, offered by dedicated suppliers who are experts in the field.
It is also essential that your workforce is trained in the understanding of what arc flash is about, how and why it happens, and the various methods of minimising its risk. We recommend you keep them firmly up to date on the latest developments, and invest in the best protective gear available.

One insulated metal door on east wall. Total door area was 19.5 sq. ft.
Ceiling & Roof System
Each test building contained a pitched roof with an attic space ventilated with soffit and gable vents. The ventilation opening was consistent with the HUD Minimum Property Standards. Eleven inches of fiberglass blanket insulation (R-34) was installed over the ceiling of each test building.
Floor System
The edges of the Concrete slab-on-grade floors were insulated with 1″ thick polystyrene insulation at both the inner and outer surfaces of the footing.
Heating/Cooling Equipment
Each test building was equipped with a centrally located 4.1 kW electric forced air heating plant equipped with a 13,000 Btu/h split vapor-compression air conditioning system.
Technical Report Available
A complete technical presentation of this study was prepared by D.M. Burch, W.E. Remmert, D.F. Krintz, and C.S. Barnes of the National Bureau of Standards, Washington, DC, in June, 1982, and is entitled "A Field Study of the Effect on Wall Mass on the Heating and Cooling Loads of Residential Buildings." This study was presented before the "Thermal Mass Effects in Buildings" seminar held in Knoxville, Tennessee, on June 2-3, 1982, Oakridge National Laboratory, Oakridge, Tennessee. Copies of this report and other studies are available by writing to: U.S. Department of Commerce, National Bureau of Standards, Center for Building Technology, Building 226, Room B114, Gaithersburg, MD 20899.
BSC's Participation
The log building used by the National Bureau of Standards for this energy conservation study was donated and erected by members of the Log Home Council. Since the inception of the Log Homes Council in 1977, well over a quarter of a million dollars have been spent on research and testing projects related to the log home industry. Members of the Council have voluntarily contributed tens of thousands of hours of their time to accomplish these tasks for the benefit of the industry and the builders and owners of log homes. On January 1, 1982, the Log Homes Council affiliated with the National Association of Home Builders as part of the Building Systems Councils. In July, 1985, the Council membership expanded due to a merger with the North American Log Builders Association. All members of the Council are also individual members of the National Association of Home Builders and through their dues support the many worthwhile activities of the NAHB. The Log Homes Council is a non-profit, voluntary membership organization representing some sixty manufacturers of log homes.

Hi there! I discovered the appintment widget which is sort-of what I'm looking for but not quite. Wanted to see if someone could help me out with my question. I'm trying to gather information for someone to book a location (out of two possibilities) and a time slot (with only one available out of 4). The appointment works on the scale that I can just input the date/location/time slot but that is a lot of words for a choice, I was hoping to make it more intuitive. Is this possible?
- JotForm SupportjonathanAnswered on September 29, 2016 at 10:52 PM
I checked your for https://www.jotform.com/62725378336160 and I was able to understand what you were trying to achieve.
I think it can be achieved better using the Unique Question using multiple fields feature instead.
User guide: https://www.jotform.com/help/375-How-to-Have-Unique-Question-Using-Multiple-Fields
The only downside to this method is that, it will not be immediately known to the user that the time/location slot is no longer available. The option will always be available for selection -- and the user will only know it is no longer available when they start to select it.
I'll create a demo form also to better show you how I meant. I'll get back shortly.
Thank you.
- JotForm SupportjonathanAnswered on September 29, 2016 at 11:22 PM
Here is the demo form https://form.jotform.com/62728409268970
You can only select the 2 dates available. The location/time is also limited only to those you specify.
The unique slot is a combination of the date + location/time field.
So user cannot select slot on the same date + same location/time.
Let us know if this cannot work for you.

Rockville" Welcomes Indie Bands

Here's an actual cool idea from the land of Hollywood, where there's a dearth of cool ideas these days.
Click on image to view article
Okay, so the title "Rockville" doesn't exactly inspire confidence. And I normally wouldn't want to trust a show about a rock club in the hands of the guy behind "The O.C." and "Gossip Girl," or the network that brought us "Blue Collar TV" and "The Jaime Kennedy Experiment." But the overall concept that leverages the strengths of the internet, TV, and indy music is what makes this a cool undertaking.
And as far as the actual show, Schwartz seems to have a solid grasp of his vision, as he confirms the fictional nightclub and storylines are based on his own experiences. He tells Variety, "I spent a lot of my early-to-mid-20s, before 'The OC,' at these kinds of clubs. It's a time when you're poor and you don't care. Music matters to you. … I really wanted to capture that (time)."
Sounds like it has potential. Schwartz also affirms that he was "given an incredible amount of freedom" from the producers. Yeah, I guess so. Storyline aside, producing a web-exclusive TV series may not exactly be groundbreaking anymore, but it's still a significant venture…and one that isn't exactly a cash-cow. Yet anyway.
The Kooks will be visiting Rockville
As far as the bands go, Schwartz confirms he was looking for a mix of national and indy bands to mirror the types of clubs he used to frequent, which is why you have bigger acts such as Eagles of Death Metal and Travis in the show, along with indies like The Kooks and White Lies. And he says these bands only get a small licensing fee for their work. Which still makes this a pretty good deal for some of these bands. Merely the opportunity to be in the show and have full songs featured online via theWB.com is not bad just on its own.
So, this is a rare idea that seemingly benefits all parties involved: the bands, the internet, even the TV industry – and mostly importantly, the audience. Since it makes so much sense, it likely won't last for long. So, better check it out while you can. Even if the show turns out not to live up to its potential, you've still got the exclusive music videos there. And it's all gotta be better than watching "The Surreal Life" or "The Wayan Bros." or whatever else WB is throwing out there, right?

The Real Estate Agent industry in Waymart borough is a type of real estate that has undergone a massive revolution in the recent years. Globalization and industrialization can be considered as two of the significant parallel factors behind the occurrence of the same. There are ample factors that have been responsible for affecting the condition and nature of the landed-property domain and have made it comparably complicated than before. On that note, it is becoming difficult for people to choose where and how to invest their money. Well, Real Estate Agent wants to invest in a property to get a higher ROI, and this article is going to talk about the tips and bits of the upcoming scenario of the landed-property industry and the tactics of investment in the same.

On that note, the industry of real estate in Mexico has been running at the peak satisfying most investors at the present time.
As mentioned before, the landed-property industry has ample complications attached to it if you are not planning your approach in a comparably wise way. The foremost concern that will likely present you with a satisfactory return or a punctual arrival of rent is to invest in the right place. Investors often make the mistake of not being aware of the occurring evolutions in the landed-property industry around and rushing into a decision of making an investment in a property that might not be worthy which eventually leads to a fruitless exercise. As already mentioned before, the domain of real estate in Mexico is one of the finest examples of appropriate residential investments in the present time and is also considered to maintain a similar record in the upcoming years.
Some of the core to extensive changes in the paradigms of the landed-property industry, in a nutshell, involves an increase in the mortgage rates, a possible future effect on the passing of tax laws, increasing of landed-property properties in specific locations. So, in this saturating market scenario, it is wise for investors to be hyper-aware and take each step with a certain level of precaution and estimation. One of the finest approaches to make a smart purchase would be to perform extensive research on the current market to settle for the choice. The process might be conventional, but there is nothing like self-analysis at the end of the day.

(cheerful music) - Hi this is Brad Korb andwelcome back to my video blog.
Thanks again for watching.
Today I have Kathy Burnswith On Q Financial to talk about reverse mortgages.
Did you know that if you're 60 years old, you can buy house, and we've closed a coupletransactions with Kathy, and have no house payment.
It's a wonderful thing forsomeone that's a senior that would like to buy a houseand not have a house payment.
So Kathy, again, thank youvery much for stopping by.
- Thank you, I appreciateit, Brad, excited to be here.
- Well, tell me a littleabout the programs so that our viewers can hear about it.
- Okay, well with a reversemortgage purchase program, clients are typically required to bring in 50 to 60% cash down paymentand the unique thing about it is it comes with aflexible payment option, meaning they can make a full payment or partial payment or no payment, which can really beef uptheir monthly cash flow - Beautiful- while still enjoying home ownership.
- That's fantastic.
It's a wonderful thing.
I've had a few clients that downsized, sold a property, andgot the reverse mortgage and it's been fantastic for them with no payment and alot less stress in life and you'll actually get a little checkbook to go out and buy a fewthings, if you want to.
- Yup, and if they're looking to buy their dream retirement home, we also have a bunch ofour new jumbo products that recently came on the market with low closing costs, as well.
- Awesome, well thank youagain for stopping by.
- Yeah, you're so welcome.
- And thanks again for watching.
Have a fantastic day and bye for now.
(cheerful music).
