I write this with a heavy heart: Love is Pain. When it comes to love and its complexities I'm a cynic. I'm never cajoled by the feeling or the thumping of my heart, I keep a clear head and make rational decisions; with this, I've been able to prevent the Tsunami of love in my heart and I've been the better for it up until now. I weakened my resolve and now my heart has been cracked * Thank God it wasn't smashed to pieces*.
Unlike the general notion people have that love creeps up on an individual, I saw this coming. I had installed a tight security around my heart and emotions 'cos allowing these two things roam free can be disastrous but then, she came along. Fate is a cunning force of nature, it just has a way of playing with us mere mortals.
I bumped into this babe at the NYSC orientation camp lecture and that was it. Now I wonder why I didn't arrive earlier to that lecture as that was the beginning of the end.
After the lecture, I bumped into her again at mammy market later in the evening- fate still using me to play 1010- and so we started talking. We shared the same interests and liked the same things, she was me in a feminine framework. Let me mention that at this point I was willing to give love or whatever the feeling is called a try, generally my friends refer to me as cold-hearted *shrugs*. I spent a total of 21 days in the NYSC camp and 384 hours of those was with her. Following my record, this was mega – apparently 'love' can melt the coldest of hearts.
Then along the way reality set in. Heart to heart discussions can only have two results either it furthers your cause or it hinders it. In my case, it destabilized what I had going with this nice chic. I'm a realist so I know what to expect, except my heart wasn't in tune with my brain at the time. I have been told the brain secretes certain hormones that induce the feeling of love. At that time, my body was saturated with these hormones. She didn't say No, neither did she say Yes, but I know what that means.
These talks ('cos I had more than one) cracked my heart, if not for the defence mechanisms I had in place earlier I would have been a 'sorry case'. The fact is these things rarely happen to me but it happened last month. If you're reading this and you believe certain things can't happen to you think again. To people resisting love and fleeing from it, don't run just try to savour what the emotion has to offer. To those that have been burnt by love or had their hearts devoured by its fiery flame don't give up on love.
*This was written with a very heavy heart.*

"I believe Bernie Sanders is the agent of change this nation so desperately needs."
So said political economist Robert Reich, who served as Labor Secretary under former President Bill Clinton, on social media Friday night, announcing his official endorsement of Sanders.
The development was not particularly surprising, given Reich's previously expressed support for key planks of Sanders' platform. Still, the news "may sting a bit for the Clinton camp," Huffington Post labor reporter Dave Jamieson wrote, coming as it does amid heated debate over the candidates' domestic policy proposals and specifically their ability to take on Wall Street.
"I endorse Bernie Sanders for President of the United States," Reich said. "He's leading a movement to reclaim America for the many, not the few. And such a political mobilization—a "political revolution," as he puts it—is the only means by which we can get the nation back from the moneyed interests that now control so much of our economy and democracy."
Reich continued:
Never Miss a Beat.
Get our best delivered to your inbox.
This extraordinary concentration of income, wealth, and political power at the very top imperils all else – our economy, our democracy, the revival of the American middle class, the prospects for the poor and for people of color, the necessity of slowing and reversing climate change, and a sensible foreign policy not influenced by the "military-industrial complex," as President Dwight Eisenhower once called it. It is the fundamental prerequisite: We have little hope of achieving positive change on any front unless the American people are once again in control.
Despite holding "the deepest respect and admiration for Hillary Clinton"—and saying he'd support her if she wins the nomination—Reich said he sees Sanders as the candidate best able to upend "the establishment," which he described in a blog post this week as "all of the people and institutions that have wielded significant power over the American political economy, and are therefore deemed complicit."
Sanders and Clinton are facing off Saturday in South Carolina, with Clinton favored to win.
Still, the New York Times wrote on Satuday, "Sanders has worked hard to make inroads with African-American voters, including a radio ad from the director Spike Lee and campaign events with the rapper Killer Mike. Even a loss, if it shows that Mr. Sanders's message of economic injustice has resonated among black voters, could help him in the Southern states that vote on Super Tuesday, three days later."
Polls in the state will be open until 7 pm EST.

Top o' the Lot: Vehicles in the Marvel Cinematic Universe
From time to time Outright Geekery brings you a slanted and biased opinion on some trivially specific topic of geekery. We call it Outright Geekery's Top o' the Lot.
Marvel's Cinematic Universe is easily one of the best action movie series of all time. It has everything: Amazing characters, awesome fights, and really, REALLY, cool technology. Among this technology are ray-guns, super suits, even flying hammers, but nothing in the MCU is quite as cool as the plethora of vehicles. Cars, boats, spaceships and more, the list of amazing automobilia goes on and on, but I whittled it down to just the very best of the best. So, without further ado, it flies, you're not supposed to do that with bikes, and who was driving that thing? in Outright Geekery's Top o' the Lot: Vehicles from the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

A Conspiracy: Marvel's Movie Douchebaggery
This article is brought to you by The Secret Society of the Comic Book Illuminati Facebook Group and the entire CBI Network. Join the Conspiracy!
I see dots; I connect dots. This is A Conspiracy!
While I was a bit hesitant to buy into the conspiracy that Marvel Comics was doing away with a lot of the Fantastic Four and X-Men comics, promotion, merch, and pretty much anything else with a 4 or an X on it because of issues with movie licensing, the latest batch of news has pushed me over the edge, and I am now a believer. I guess it makes sense from a financial standpoint (although I still can't get the numbers to add up) but, numbers aside, it seems like a pretty mean thing to do to us, the fans and readers. But, when I dug a little deeper into Marvel's Movie history, the timeline shows just how cutthroat Marvel has been with cross-promotion in film.

Coloured Coin - 2014 FIFA World CupTM/MC
Join the celebrations with this beautiful coin!
The players fly across the green pitch under the blaring lights. Their bodies move in kinetic displays of devotion to their nation, their team, and their sport. In the stands surrounding them, tens of thousands of fans rise, cheering, from their seats. This is the moment where passion begins.
In 2014, the FIFA World CupTM/MC is being hosted in Brazil. This exciting event is closely watched by millions of fans around the globe, intertwining national pride, international sportsmanship and love for a sport that combines endurance, strength, and strategy to the delight of frenzied fans. Canadians, too, are riveted by the FIFA World CupTM/MC–including the hundreds of thousands of young people here who play soccer for fun and for sport.
Considered the world's most popular sport, soccer has also taken hold of Canadians young and old. Although the Dominion of Canada Football Association has been a FIFATM/MC member since its formation in 1913 it is largely since the 1980s that soccer's popularity in Canada has soared, particularly among youth. Beginning in the 1980s, soccer became the Canadian sport with the highest number of registered players, surpassing even hockey. Soccer registration in Canada has continued to outpace hockey registration ever since and remains both the top participatory sport and fastest-growing sport in Canada. Today, the Canadian Soccer Association boasts nearly 1 million registered soccer players in Canada, the majority of whom are under the age of 19 and almost half of whom are female.
With this dynamic global sport inspiring the passion of young Canadians, it is no surprise that Canada's international status in soccer has seen an upsurge over the last two decades. The Canadian men's national soccer team participated in both the 1986 FIFA World CupTM/MC and the FIFA Confederations CupTM/MC 2001. The Canadian women's national soccer team has played at 5 FIFA Women's World CupsTM/MC. Canada will host the FIFA Women's World CupTM/MC in 2015.
Order yours today!
Special features:
• Take home a piece of the spirit of soccer and the 2014 FIFA World CupTM/MC with this special celebratory coloured coin.
• Your coin design was approved by FIFATM/MC.
• Your coin is an excellent gift for the young soccer fans and players in your life. A thoughtful celebration of soccer for fans, sports enthusiasts, and lovers of the FIFA World CupTM/MC.
• A beautiful addition to any sport-themed or Canadiana-inspired collection.
• Your coin includes a unique customized clamshell that resembles a soccer ball, and a customized sleeve.
Your coin was designed by Canadian artist Steve Hepburn and presents a dynamic stylized pastiche of soccer images. Dominating the image is a soccer player, right leg thrown back to make a powerful kick. The player's target is a large soccer ball upon which a map of Canada replaces one of the dark patches. Below the image of the player, three young children play soccer in a field of grass—a boy prepares to kick the ball while two girls approach him from either side; all the young players are dressed in the sport's recognizable uniform of long shorts, jersey, tall socks, and soccer cleats. In the upper right corner of the image, backed by a cheery yellow sunburst, a large stylized image of a Canadian crowd, arms extended to the sky, waving flags and pennants and flanked by swirling maple leaves, is reminiscent of the building wave of enthusiasm for the sport. The background is dominated by the well known green of the soccer pitch along with colourful 'swoosh' marks flying from behind the ball and complex line patterns recalling soccer nets.
Your coin is encapsulated and presented in a unique Royal Canadian Mint customized clamshell that resembles a soccer ball, and a customized sleeve.

An article just out in PLOS Biology explores one of the most important, but also difficult to observe, phenomena related to DNA regulation.
Figure 1 from the paper: "Atomic Force Microscopy of Lac Repressor-DNA Complexes (A) Schematic structures of biotin (bio)- and digoxigenin (dig)-labeled DNA constructs with one (O-539 and O-349) or two (O-153-O and O-158-O) ideal lac operator sequences (white bars)... (B) AFM image of molecules adsorbed to a mica surface ... (C) Scatter plot of the DNA arm contour lengths in repressor-DNA complexes....(D and E) Left: projection images of two alternative three-dimensional structural models of looped complexes between Lac repressor (gray) and DNA (black) with two operators spaced approximately 50 nm apart. Right: the corresponding AFM images produced by numerical simulation of the AFM imaging process (see Materials and Methods). (F) Representative images (120 3 120 nm) of looped complexes with O-158-O or O-153-O DNA." (See original text for the full caption.)
Gene expression is regulated in part by the formation of DNA loops, in which a protein attaches to two parts of a DNA strand, pulling them together. Researchers at Brandeis have characterized and visualized the well known Lac repressor, a gene regulating protein in E.coli.
Two very cool techniques were used to study this system: Atomic force microscopy and tethered particle motion (TPM). TPM, developed at Brandeis, involves attaching a bead to a bit of DNA. You can't see the DNA as it moves around, but you can see the bead, even though it is very very tiny. This research has allowed the rejection of a number of previously hypothesized models for DNA folding.
Atomic force microscopy allows scientists to view the shape of the DNA molecules statically and TPM demonstrates the details of the movement of the DNA molecules.
But no, seriously, they actually used basic office supplies to make these models, which worked as well as any other material to determine the viability of some of the shape changes that were hypothesizes.
Jeff Gelles, one of the scientists involved in this research, explains: "What we demonstrated in this paper is that, contrary to what many scientists thought, the structure of the protein is flexible and can take on different shapes, helping to minimize DNA bending or twisting in loops, and thus, maximize stable gene regulation. We believe the protein has the ability to change its shape to accommodate different sized loops and different amounts of DNA, helping cells maintain genes in a switched on or switched off state. We think it is possible that the characteristics of this genetic switch are examples of a general phenomenon that helps explain gene regulation."
This could have applications in developing antibiotics.

"The Jim Henson Exhibition: Imagination Unlimited," opening May 20 at the Museum of Pop Culture in Seattle, features Bert and Ernie, Kermit and Grover as well as clips from Henson's short films, and scripts and costumes from his non-Muppet projects.
Who better to open a Jim Henson retrospective than one of his most iconic creations, Kermit the Frog?
That's the first artifact — a vintage Kermit from 1978 — visitors come face to face with in "The Jim Henson Exhibition: Imagination Unlimited," which opens this weekend at the Museum of Pop Culture (MoPOP). The "Celebrational Muppetational" opening-night party on Friday, May 19, will feature an appearance by Muppeteer Dave Goelz, a scavenger hunt, live music and other events. The exhibition opens May 20 and runs through the end of 2017.
It's the world premiere for "Imagination Unlimited," curated by the Museum of the Moving Image, which plans to open a permanent gallery of Henson's work in New York City later this year.
'The Jim Henson Exhibition: Imagination Unlimited'
Opening-night party is Friday, May 19; exhibit is open May 20-Dec. 31, Museum of Pop Culture, Seattle Center; $5 plus museum admission of $16-$25 (206-770-2702 or mopop.org).
Henson and the merry band of characters he called "Muppets" (not a contraction of "marionette" and "puppet," but simply a word he made up) became stars thanks to "Sesame Street," the innovative children's show that debuted on public television in 1969.

But Henson's work, as the exhibition makes clear, has an appeal that reaches beyond the tag of "children's entertainment." "I don't think he segmented things very much," MoPOP curator Brooks Peck explained. "Like, 'Oh, this is only for kids.' He tried to make something that everyone would dig."
The Muppets were first seen in short segments on local TV shows in Maryland and Washington, D.C., in the 1950s, then featured in numerous commercials. Clips of ads for Wilkins Coffee reveal Henson's anarchic sense of humor, as the taller, slimmer "Wilkins" cheerfully watches as the shorter, stubby "Wontkins" is shot, blown up or run over when he refuses to sample the caffeinated drink.
"You can see where Henson was already honing those skills of creating that quick little hit," said Peck of the ads, which are 10 seconds long. "Which you'd see then in 'Sesame Street,' because the show was intentionally designed for little kids' attention spans." The idea of contrasting characters — tall/short, happy/crabby — later resurfaced in the "Sesame Street" duo of Bert and Ernie.
The exhibition also features clips of two experimental short films Henson made in the 1960s. Henson himself appears in "Time Piece" as a harried everyman whose life — and death — is wedded to the metronomic beats of a clock; the film was nominated for an Oscar for Best Live Action Short Film in 1966.
"The Cube," which aired on NBC in 1969, is a surreal story about a man trying to escape his imprisonment in a white, cube-shaped room. The disturbing undercurrents in both films are a far cry from the feel-good nature of most of Henson's work.
Bert and Ernie, the shaggy, blue-haired Grover and the friendly vampire Count von Count, who never met a numeral he didn't like, are some of the "Sesame Street" Muppets on display. Visitors also have the opportunity to create their own Muppet, as well as trying their hand (literally) at puppeteering, learning to manipulate a Muppet with both hands while watching their progress on an adjacent monitor. It's more complicated than you might think, giving you a new appreciation for the physical effort involved in bringing the Muppets to life.
The Muppets went mainstream on "The Muppet Show," which premiered in 1976 and ran for five years, and it'll be hard for fans to resist jumping into the mock set of the show's opening number and start singing the theme song. The show's development is traced from its pilot, culminating in a wall showing clips of the many guest stars from all corners of the arts world: Julie Andrews, Rudolf Nureyev, Raquel Welch and Liberace, to name a few.
The exhibition also features props, designs, scripts and costumes from Henson's non-Muppet projects, like the TV show "Fraggle Rock" and the film "Labyrinth," including the svelte costume worn by Jareth, the Goblin King (played by a slinky and seductive David Bowie).
The wealth of materials on display illustrates the sweep of Henson's boundless imagination. Henson, who died in 1990 after a short illness, was constantly creating, from the moment he reworked his mother's old coat into a Kermit prototype, using ping-pong balls for eyes, in the 1950s.
Peck sees the uniqueness of the Muppets' playful humor as key to their longevity. "There's nothing else like it," he said. "Puppet stuff for adults; there's the Muppets and — what? No one else is doing a competing thing. There's no Pepsi to the Coke of the Muppets."

Why should I take the 2019 National Travel Agent Survey?
The simple answer is because it will help your suppliers, tourist boards and support organizations understand you better and tailor their support accordingly.
Rob Glennie Consulting is conducting the National Travel Agent Survey for the third year and this time, it has been expanded to include more types of agents. This will increase its value to agents, suppliers, tourist boards and the industry—and allow you to compare yourself with other types of agents.
This year, the survey has been expanded to include 4 different streams:
1. Home Based / Hosted Agent - Commission Only
2. Call Centre, Office or Store Front Agent - Commission Only
3. Call Centre, Office or Store Front Agent - Salary + Commission
4. Call Centre, Office or Store Front Agent - 100% Salary
Who is reading the results?
Well, first of all, you will be! Everyone who completes the survey can request the results. But also suppliers, host agencies, retail travel organizations, associations, tourist boards and pretty much everyone in the industry will be interested.
It is important to get as many agents to complete the survey as possible as the more agents complete the survey, including different types of agents, the better and more revealing the results will be for everyone.
Your opinion really does matter and this is your opportunity to provide your suppliers and other industry partners with greater insight into what is important to you.
This year the survey will provide unique insight into the entire retail sector and will help suppliers and tourist boards better understand the similarities – and the differences --- of the four different types of agents.
This, in turn, will help them better serve these groups and tailor their training and support to suit the needs of each group, including product training, FAM trips, sales support, collateral etc.
The survey will also provide data on the income levels, job satisfaction and overall happiness of different types of agents.
To take the survey, go to www.travelagentsurvey.ca.

I am finishing up an M.A. in Linguistics and the final requirement is to write my dissertation. I have chosen as a topic evaluative and ideologically-loaded metaphors in business media discourse, specifically as they relate to gold as an asset class. A few years ago, I copied and pasted a specific quote by E.J. from this site into a word document file, and I would be very grateful if someone could kindly let me know the origin of it by posting the Itulip link so that I might view the original source of it. This is so that I could reference it in my dissertation as long as it is from an Itulip link that is publicly available (this remains to be seen). Here is the quote:
"A high gold price is a major embarrassment to central bankers. When I got in the gold price was still giving central bankers an A for the fine job they did running a 30-year credit bubble and making everyone rich. At $1750 the gold market is giving central bankers a C. At $2500 they will be giving the central banks a D and at $5000 plus an F, at which point a clear Plan B will already be underway and visible to the connected and/or astute." --Eric Janszen
Thank you in advance for taking the time to reply!

The number of domestic-violence related deaths in Western Australia has more than doubled this year after two women and three toddlers were found dead at their home last week, government figures show.
So far in 2018, 23 people have died in domestic violence incidents (including 10 women and nine children).
Fifteen of those deaths occurred in just three separate incidents: a family murder-suicide in Margaret River, a triple murder of an Ellenbrook mother and her two children and the Bedford murders.
In comparison there were 11 domestic violence related killings in the 2017 calendar year.
Speaking after the Bedford mass murder WA Police Commissioner Chris Dawson said it was impossible not to take stock of those shocking figures and police would put their concerns to the coroner.
"Every death is tragic but the fact that we have in front of us now, in the last four months, multiple homicides involving family members is of course an absolute tragedy," he said.
"We are examining that, it's part of our role as police to put not only matters before the court but also before the state coroner.
"The state coroner has a broader role and remit in terms of inquiring not only the cause of death but also any matters that might be attached to that.
"In the fullness of time we will be submitting reports on every death to the state coroner."
Domestic Violence Prevention Minister Simone McGurk said the level of domestic violence in Western Australia was second only to the Northern Territory.
"When there are these terrible, terrible fatalities people want to know what we can do," she said.
"Unfortunately, there is no quick fix.
"It is societal change, it is systems change, and that's why we have a dedicated minister in the cabinet.
"The government recognised we needed some particular focus to make sure that we're doing everything we can to keep innocent people safe."
According to WA Police statistics, there were a total of 86 homicides in the 2017/18 financial year (not all domestic violence related).
There were 18,539 family assaults and 2636 reports of family threatening behaviour over the same period.
Murdoch University criminologist Guy Hall said homicide rates in Australia had been stable with the exception of a notable spike at the time of the Port Arthur massacre and it was difficult to conclude there had been a statistically significant increase in WA.
"If you have a look at the long term trends, it's actually a very, very low rate," he said.
"What you find every now and then is little glitches.
"And the other problem you have is what we call a low base line. In other words, it's not that common and an increase of 10 to 15 is a 50 per cent increase, but it's only five.
"Whereas an increase from 100 to 105, people would just say that's a random variation.
The problem with low numbers is that its really difficult to discern a trend until you see a long term pattern."
Ms McGurk said the government expected there would be more reports of domestic violence the more awareness of the issue was raised in the community.
"Counter-intuitively, the more work we do on this, it's perhaps likely that we'll get an increase in reports," she said.
"We do want people to come forward, we do want people to ask for help.
"And also for people to understand the various forms of domestic violence."
Ms McGurk said a new family violence restraining order, which had been introduced to bring WA into line with a national system, has a much broader definition of domestic violence.
"Instances that might justify those orders include overly controlling behaviour, aggressive behaviour, threats, threats to children and pets, financial controls and the like," she said.
There was no strong statistical evidence that drugs and alcohol had caused an increase to the number of domestic violence incidents, but there was evidence suggesting they increased the severity of violence.
"The psychosis that results from methamphetamine use, for instance, could mean that there's more violence generally and we've seen some high profile cases of that publicly in road car accidents and the like," Ms McGurk said.
"In terms of alcohol, for instance, both drug and alcohol generally, I think the analysis is that it's not a primary cause, but it could exacerbate the severity of the violence.
"Talking to communities in different areas where there is a concentration of domestic violence, people are saying they know plenty of people who have alcohol problems and they're not perpetrators of domestic violence.
"Similarly, you've got perpetrators who have committed those offences without being alcohol or drug affected."

Semi Trucks And Severe Injury
A Collision with a Large Truck Can Be Devastating - You Deserve Justice
If your car or truck was struck at high speed by a fully loaded semi truck, it is likely you suffered severe injuries. How will you recover from such a substantial and grievous loss? At Smith & Hassler, we can help you. Our experienced truck accident attorneys can fight to get you compensation for your injuries.
The safety features built into today's passenger vehicle designs have gone a long way towards reducing the number of serious injuries caused by motor vehicle accidents. But despite such advancements, they cannot account for the superior height, weight, and size of a semi truck if a collision occurs. Add in speed and people are often seriously hurt.
Common Serious Injuries
Passengers in cars involved in semi truck accidents who do survive often have lifelong conditions as a result of their injuries. They include:
- Paralysis
- Amputation
- Orthopedic injuries
- Brain injury
- Burn injury
- Extensive physical therapy and rehabilitation
- Reliance on prescription pain medications
Our attorneys will meet with you and review your medical records. We will determine the true value of your claim, one that takes into account your past, current and future medical needs for your injury and considers the impact the injury has had on you and your family.
We will also investigate the accident to search for evidence of negligence on the part of the driver or the trucking company. Our team takes the time to build the strongest case possible.
The insurance company may make a settlement offer, but it will often be for far less than the compensation you deserve. That's not good enough. We take them back to the negotiating table to work out a settlement that works for you. Or we take them to court. We don't back down.
Contact an 18-Wheeler Truck Accident Lawyer with Our Firm
At Smith & Hassler, an experienced truck accident attorney will assist you or your loved one in your case. Call (713) 739-1250 for your free personal injury consultation today. We handle cases in Houston and throughout Texas.
Remember, your initial consultation is free, and you don't pay us unless you win.

ECB: Financial Sector In Best Condition Since 2011
By Geoffrey T. Smith and Christopher Lawton
The euro zone's financial sector is in better health now than at any time in the last two years, the European Central Bank said Wednesday in its half-yearly Financial Stability Review.
The ECB took much of the credit for this improvement itself.
"ECB policies, in particular the Outright Monetary Transactions program that effectively eliminated the perceived tail risk of a euro area break-up, have been key–but not the only positive development," it said in an overview of its report.
The announcement of the OMT program in August, under which the ECB would buy on the open market bonds of countries that had asked for, and were deemed to be complying with, euro-zone rescue aid packages, drove a five-month rally in bonds previously seen as too risky. The announcement appeared to convince financial markets that market pressure alone wouldn't be allowed to drive Italy and Spain, the euro zone's third and fourth-largest economies, out of the currency union.

Bought a house through check property and Natasha was the agent.
I would highly recommend Natasha her service was amazing. She went above and beyond and made buying a house easy.
She was extremely friendly and professional.
I give her a 10 out of 10.

I have just moved out of a rental with Check Properly Real Estate..I rented the same property for 4 years. I want to Thank Ang, Natasha and the team for always acting promptly on any communication I had with them, in a professional, courteous , friendly manner..No job was too small. . My house inspections I for once didn't feel like my life was invaded. They let me know if something wasn't quite up too scratch in a way that they offered suggestions, options to get the best outcome . I will recommend Check property to any of my friends or family.
- Belinda H

They are great always attentive to our needs for our rental which tells us...so far we have a fantastic landlord. Much better than the over the top realty real estate agents that are well known...I'm so glad my daughter chose this agent.😊👍
- Nani
Redbank Plains
Natasha has been looking after my property for over 5 months now and I have to say she has surprised me all the way. While the property was being built, she went there every week to follow up on the progress and to take pictures to send to me as I am living interstate for now. She has also found good tenants in a very short time. I would not hesitate to recommend Natasha to anyone. I have used larger and better known property managers before, but they have never deliver to the extent of Check Property Real Estate. Keep up the awesome work.
- Mickael R
I would like to personally thank the team at check property for the consistent great service provided whilst renting through them.
From the start the the end of our rental period, everything just went very smoothly.
Every time we had an inspection they had no problem fitting in around our schedule as we wanted to be present during these visits.
Thanks for making it easy to rent while building our own house and thanks for the great service you provided.
All the best in the future
- Sean and Zoey
Redbank Plains
Outstanding service and lovely personality have nothing but good things to say about check property. They went out of their way to help me with every inquiry I had and did more than required
- April G.
Natasha at Check Property has proven an invaluable asset to my property portfolio. I highly recommend her as both competent and exceptionally proactive. Check Property have gained my complete trust, managing both of my own investment properties in the Brisbane and Ipswich areas, as well as several friends'.
In order to build a new investment property I decided to research real estate agents in the Springfield Lakes/Redbank area. Out of numerous agents, it was clear that Natasha was intelligent and well versed in real estate, the local area and corrective actions regarding tenants. I found her astute and prompt in our dealings.
Initially my property in Moggill was with Walkers Real Estate and then Ray White. Both under-performed and often missed items in inspections. I contacted Natasha and discovered that she had founded her own real estate business in affirmation of her capabilities and professionalism.
Where Ray White was unable to find tenants and refused to negotiate, I asked Check Property to take over. Natasha reviewed the listing and picked it apart for flaws on both imagery and narrative. She immediately visited the property taking far better pictures and writing specifically to the area it was located in, as well as providing a free premium advertisement/listing. Natasha held multiple viewings conducting a rigorous screening process (one I would not have otherwise bothered with and was impressed by) and achieved a lease agreement within a week. The tenants are amazing and regularly carry out maintenance and improvements to my investment property free of charge.
After recommending a friend of mine who was moving with Defence, Natasha was not only able to lease his property in Springfield Lakes within a very short period of time, but also achieved more than he had anticipated/deemed necessary in our conversations.
Another colleague living in Abu Dhabi became frustrated when his agent in Moorooka recommended he reduce his rental price by $30 and then forgot to inform him that the lease had expired a month previously and they were still living there. He felt that the agent was taking him for granted because he was overseas. He came to me specifically for Natasha's contact details and now utilizes Check Property as an international client.
One major benefit is that Check Property utilizes the Property Tree application which allows a landlord to view their tenancy ledgers and balance sheets as well as inspection reports from their phone or PC anytime/anywhere. I have found this very useful.
Another key difference I have found is that Check Property have been willing to go out of their way time and again. For example, when the tenants requested driveway maintenance, Natasha visited the property immediately and even organized quotes advising me on how best to proceed.
When my second property was newly constructed, Natasha again went out of her way keeping tabs on construction progress and even assisted in maintaining gardens and turf when I notified her that I would be away with work commitments. Following this she also visited the property to measure windows and sliding doors before again organizing quotes for blinds to be installed.
Payments have always been up to date and when the tenants accidentally damaged paint and kitchen fittings in a kitchen fire, Natasha rejected initial repair attempts from the tenants as they were not sufficient, organizing professional repair quotes.
I have found her dedication to helping me in every way and providing free advice on retaining good tenants has given me ease of mind. As such her real estate continues to expand rapidly as testament to the quality of service provided that was not offered by the major Real Estates.
Prior to this I had no affiliation with Check Property or friendship with Natasha. I now have no qualms in highly recommending her. This is a real estate that works hard for less and it shines in their dedication to meet every client's particular leasing needs.
- Dan M.
Natasha and her team go above and beyond for their clients, couldn't recommend them highly enough... 5 Stars !
- Michael K.
We have had a great experience with Check Property Real Estate. From the point of changing from previous agents to getting our investment property rented. Natasha has kept us updated at all times and provided great service. I would definitely recommend Check Property & Natasha to anyone who is looking to change from current agents.
- Sandy S.
I first got to know Natasha from a cold call she made when I was constructing my investment home. Her sincerity and friendliness were qualities that attracted me to try out her services. It's understandable that when you get calls like this you tend to brush them off as nitwits. Well, I am really glad I did not! From the handover inspection, sourcing of a quality tenant, managing the property and handling any disputes, Natasha has shown to be very meticulous in her attention to detail. Her approach is fair, assertive and yet impartial. Not only is she working for me, but she also has the interests of the tenants at heart and that is important because they are the ones that pay the rent. I have all my investment properties in QLD managed by Natasha's company and I wouldn't move them to those popular ones that you see down the road. Natasha's services are second to none and I would definitely recommend her to anyone who is after a very professional and trustworthy agent to look after their most priced asset. I am happy to speak to anyone who wants a more detailed conversation on her services.
- TK Yeoh, NSW.
Struggling with my vacant rental property and my current agency at the time, I decided to source a change in my circumstances and find a new agent.
I was hoping for a breath of fresh air for myself and my property. Well, that was an understatement!
Natasha was responsive and attentive to my needs as an owner from our first contact. She impressed me by taking on the property and getting it advertised within the first 24 hours. She showed and LET my property all within a few of signing up with her. Something that could not be done before, for weeks.
On top of all, she archived almost 10% more rental income than the previous agent.
She kept me updated and checked in with me every step of the way. Within 7 days of my property having an approved tenant:
• They moved in
• Smoke alarm compliance plan was updated at no charge and
• All paperwork had been completed.
The fees Natasha offered made my decision a no brainer and with no regrets.
I for one know how daunting it seems to change managements over.
Natasha made it an instant relief, she assisted me all the way through and nothing is too much.
I would definitely point anyone with an investment property to Natasha at Check Property.
I am happy to have a chat with you if thinking of changing over or starting out as a new landlord. Natasha has my number.
Many thanks to Natasha and Check Property.
- Renato C.
Natasha has been dealing with my new duplex investment property for many months and has kept me informed of the build progress on site through to completion. This has been great as I have not been able to do this myself. She has assisted in every aspect of getting the properties tenant ready as well as the finding suitable applicants and making sure the move went without any delays including the utilities. For myself this extra service has taken away all the pressure and I can relax knowing everything is in safe hands. I fully recommend Natasha at Check Property Real Estate for thier service, attention to detail and support they have given me during this time.

We are available to consult on a wide array of finance and real estate projects. We specialize in being able to answer questions traditionally thought to be unanswerable. Examples include, but are not limited to, the following:
Sample Research Questions/Who Benefits
Lenders: As a national lender, we would like to know how to best identify strategic defaulters and then learn how to reduce their incentive to default on their mortgage. What is the best type of workout solution in terms of reducing the future incidence of homeowner strategic default?
Attorneys: The local utility company says they need to stretch power lines across the back corner of my property. What impact will this have on my client's property's value?
Real Estate Agents: Real estate agents debate whether it is best to sell a home that is empty (because the rooms look so much larger) or decorated (because this makes it easier for potential homebuyers to picture themselves in the home). Can you test which approach results in a higher selling price and shorter time on the market?
As a real estate agent, I want to achieve the highest selling price for my client's home while minimizing time on the market. Some agents suggest I price the house at $300,000, while others suggest it is best to list the home at $299,000. Does "charm pricing" really make a difference?
Individual Investors: As an investor, I've often heard it said that people are overconfident and that this causes them to make less than ideal investment decisions. How can I avoid this pitfall and make better choices in the future?
Builders/Manufacturers: My company sells environmentally-friendly cabinets and wants to know if they cause higher home values once installed. Can you measure the payoff to installing our "green" cabinetry as opposed to other non-environmentally friendly types of wood products?

Rainy Pennsylvania
Hey Everyone,
I am back with a new post. I took my girlfriend to the airport last night, unfortunately, but it was good to have her here. And as my post indicates, we were rained out, again. It seems like every homestand we have at least 1 game rained out, and sometimes several games. Now I lived in Hawaii, which is supposed to recieve the most precipitation each year, but I have never seen it rain like it does here in Altoona.
Anyways, so my last outing was pretty bad. The only thing I really did well was battled through 6 innings, and did a decent job of some damage control. Had to be one of my worst outings this year, and you are going to have outings like this throughout the season. I will make sure that I am better next time out.
On a lighter note, I did see Angels and Demons, and I thought that it was pretty amazing. I really liked the movie, and it was pretty much as well as you could have made a movie out of that book. The next movies that I would like to see are the Hangover and Land of the Lost. Those both look pretty funny, and I am a big fan of comedy movies.
Well I am gonna wrap this up so that I can go watch the Buccos game, or the Penguins game if they get rained out. Maybe both if I can figure out how to get PIP (picture in picture) to work on my tv.
Take care
Rain Out
Hey everyone,
Well I am back with another post, the second game of our scheduled double header was rained out. It seems like it rains everyday in Altoona. We won the first game 8-0 to snap the 2 game losing skid. We have really been playing well lately, but the Akron Aeros seem to have our number. I guess they have only 8 games on the year, so they might have everyones number.
So my last outing went ok, I kinda struggled with my command, but was able to make some pitches when I needed to in order to get out of some jams. My final line looked a little better than the way I threw, 6 innings pitched and only 1 earned run. Again we had a really good bullpen session this week. So I am not too worried about it. I have to keep working hard in those bullpen sessions, they are very important for me. On the hitting side of things, I put my first ball into play, and actually barreled it up and hit it pretty hard. It was a groundout, but the shortstop had to make a really good play.
The next time I pitch is the first game in Bowie, that will be on Tuesday, as we have a day off on Monday. Also, my girlfriend is in town for the next week or so, so my posts might not bee that frequent, but I will respond to comments and stuff.
Last topic for this post, has anybody seen Angels and Demons yet, I was a huge fan of the book when I read it, and will definitely go see the movie. Please feel free to post your reviews. Well thats all for today ladies and gentlemen. Hope everybody has, or is having a great weekend.
A League Of Their Own
Hey Everyone,
A couple of topics for this post. First of all, there is a Royal's blog done by Chris "Disco" Hayes, and his blog is pretty much amazing. I reccomend everyone to go check it out. I recently checked it out, and there is some really good stuff on his blog, he is really funny and quite the character.
The second topic is my most recent outing. It was by far the best of the season, and probably the most comfortable that I have felt on the mound. The mechanical changes that we worked on in between starts really paid off. I was through 6 innings in 74 pitches, and ready to go back out for the 7th, but I was pinch hit for because it was a 1-1 game, and we had a scoring opportunity. Which brings me to my next point, hitting. Its really tough, and I have a lot of work to do. I looked terrrible at the plate, if I had looked a little better, they might have let me hit for myself. Either way, it was a very good outing, and a very encouraging step in my career. The fact that I was able to fix my mechanics in one outing gives me a boatload of confidence.
Ok so on to the real topic of this post. The movie A League of Their Own, a true story about war-time America where they created a women's baseball league to replace major league baseball. In the movie there is a character by the name of Betty Spaghetti. Well today after our afternoon game in Reading, I was fortunate enough to meet the real life person that portrayed in the movie. While we were sitting on the bus waiting to leave for Harrisburg, she walked onto the bus and introduced herself. It was very cool, and a really exciting experience.
Well thats all I have for today guys and girls.
More Updates
Hey everyone,
So as you could tell by the box score from my last outing it was a struggle. I gave up four runs in the first inning and threw 31 pitches in the process. I then went 5 innings throwing only 54 pitches after that. The most upsetting part about the outing was that I was informed that I had reverted back to old mechanics. That is something that is unacceptable to me, and something that I will make sure to fix. Today I had a very good bullpen session in which we corrected those problems. Hopefully I can take them from the bullpen out to the mound. A few encouraging things from the outing were that I broke like 8 bats, unfortuanately a few of them were hits. And I also got better as the outing went on, which led my pitching coach to the idea that I need to do a better job before the game, in order to make sure that I am ready to pitch from the first inning.
So that is it for baseball talk for this post. One thing that I would like to talk about is reading. I am pretty sure we talked about favorite authors earlier this year. However, I just started reading this book that is awesome. One of the best reads so far. So without judging me, it is entitled The Electric Koolaid Acid Test and is written by Tom Wolfe. If anybody has any must read books please feel free to let me know.
Ok last topic before I take off, is the NBA playoffs, and more specifically the Celtics and Bulls. How insane was that series? I mean every game except for the one blowout was a great game. This is coming from someone who very rarely watches pro basketball and couldn't even tell you every team's starting line ups that are still left in the playoffs. But so far these games have ignited an interest in pro basketball. Anybody else that has an opinion feel free to reply.
Well thats all for now so until later,

U.S. government to use 'drones the size of GOLF BALLS to spy on AMERICAN citizens'
By Daily Mail
9 June 2012
The Obama administration has been widely criticized for its increased reliance on drone strikes to kill suspected terrorists in Pakistan and Afghanistan, but according to published reports, a plan is now in the works to harness tiny drones to spy on U.S. citizens.
A 30-page memorandum issued by President Barack Obama's Secretary of the Air Force Michael Donley on April 23 has stated that the drones, some as small as golf balls, may be used domestically to 'collect information about U.S. persons.'
The photos that the drones will take may be retained, used or even distributed to other branches of the government so long as the 'recipient is reasonably perceived to have a specific, lawful governmental function' in asking for them.
The purpose of the cited memorandum is stated as 'balancing … obtaining intelligence information…and protecting individual rights guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution.'
Andrew Napolitano, former New Jersey judge and senior judicial analyst at Fox News, wrote in his Washington Times opinion column this week that if the military personnel spot something of interest from a drone, they may apply to a military judge or 'military commander' for permission to conduct a physical search of the private property.
The memo cited by Napolitano goes on to say that any 'incidentally acquired information' can be retained or turned over to local law enforcement, which raises the question of the constitutionality of launching a drone program stateside, and whether it violates people's right to privacy.
Besides their lethal military application, however, drones can be used in a wide array of scenarios, from tracking down runaway criminals to spraying crops with pesticides.
'It's going to happen,' Dan Elwell, vice president of civil aviation at the Aerospace Industries Association, told the Seattle Times. 'Now it's about figuring out how to safely assimilate the technology into national airspace.'
The Rest…HERE

Contract Cleaning can spruce up homes this winter
Category: Contract Cleaning
The weather at this time of year is highly unpredictable, as previous years have ranged from mild to frozen, leaving homeowners with difficulties when it comes to preparation.
It could be useful to invest in insulation and energy-efficiency technologies, which will save money and keep residents warm, but such work will be sure to leave a mess.
To restore homes back to their top condition, Contract Cleaning services should be used, which will leave properties free of clutter and debris left after the heating technologies are installed.
Therefore, a small investment in such services could lead to a big payoff in the long run, leaving homeowners with a tidy, well-kept home that is a pleasure to relax in.
It is especially important for homeowners to be proud of their property in the winter as they will be spending more time inside.
Commercial Cleaners will also be able to set a standard for the residents to strive towards for the following months.

Back in April, Amanda decided to take part in a True Beauty Boudoir session with me. She is a fellow coastie wife and he husband was away at A school, he was due to graduate soon and also their first wedding anniversary was coming up as well. She thought this was going to be a great present for him.
Kaitlin & Josh {Love}
My fiance's and I friends visited from Texas about a month ago and while they were in town they wanted to make sure they booked a session with me to get some photos done. We have been wanting to take photos since they first got together a few years ago. So, finally the anticipated session with Josh and Kaitlin.
6 {Months} and {Growing}
My niece turned 6 months in February and my sister and I set up a time to take some photos of her, since we were unable to take each month of her first year we thought we could just take photos of her every six months. We had a lot of fun with her, she is the cutest little girl on this planet and is just a ham, she worked it the entire shoot and was so good for the entire shoot.
Ali {Muse One}
I spent an entire day with Ali, My Fiance (assistant for the day), and Erin (makeup and hair) up highway 74 towards Anza. We found an abandonded house hat we hiked too, pulled off to the side of the road and stopped at Vista Point looking over the Coachella Valley for sunset. this day was amazing and so much fun. I experimented with some new things and took a little change. I'd love to know how everyone feels about this shoot. Thank you so much girls for putting up with me all day and making a wonderful session.
{2012} in Review
Here's an excerpt:
600 people reached the top of Mt. Everest in 2012. This blog got about 3,300 views in 2012. If every person who reached the top of Mt. Everest viewed this blog, it would have taken 6 years to get that many views.
Austin {Graduating}
I have grown up with Austin up at Lake Havasu and when I was asked to do his senior portraits I was honored. There were two parts to his photo session. We started out up at Havasu and took some photos of him in his riding gear and riding his motorcycle. After a few weeks passed I then met up with him and his family in Mission Viejo where we finished his senior portraits. We had so much fun taking his photos and celebrating his graduatuon. Once we finished his photos we all got to take a trip to Disneyland. Overall it was a good session and here are some photos from his photo session.

What do people with truly evil thoughts like Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) do when they retire from Congress? One hopes she just fades away but that is likely wishful thinking.
I spent the week in Rehoboth Beach, Del., and had coffee with friends Keith Brengle and Kevin Keller who were there to care for Keith's parents. Keith threw out this question in a joking way but it is more than that. There just seem to be so many people whose hearts are filled with hatred who are given the opportunity to spout that hatred in the national media. Bachmann is just one example of that breed — a woman with no real accomplishments yet an oversized ego that can attract attention. Bachmann has been in Congress since 2006 with not one bill she sponsored signed into law. That is sad for constituents who elected her believing that she would do something to earn her salary.
What she has accomplished as an acolyte of Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) is convince the Republicans in the House of Representatives to scuttle any chance of an immigration bill or funding to deal with the children crossing our borders illegally to escape dangers in their home countries. She was a member of the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, which some say actually called into question the committee's name. But the reality is she attracted attention and the hatred she spewed against the LGBT community and so many others got her enough followers that she even had a thankfully short-lived presidential campaign.
She is only one of many that raise the question of what happens to their evil ways when they retire. With a 24-hour news cycle, a beast that must be constantly fed, these haters like Bachmann continue to get attention. Sarah Palin is another example of someone thrust into the national media spotlight based on zero accomplishments and who has managed to stay in the public eye by making outrageous and often hateful statements while accomplishing nothing. Another one not yet retired who spreads hate as a way to draw attention is Ann Coulter. Someone who seems intent on getting her name on that list is Maureen Dowd, who writes columns for the New York Times. Dowd, once well respected, seems to have discovered that if she spews enough hatred she gets more attention.
To answer the question: Evil doesn't ever really go away. Even when the evil is so egregious that you would think what the person did can never again happen, like a Hitler, we see the likes of Saddam Hussein and Bashar al-Assad rise to power. When Joe McCarthy finally died many thought a senator spewing hate like that couldn't appear again and yet today we have Sen. Cruz who is doing his best to match McCarthy.
What we can be thankful for is that for every person spewing evil there are those that spread love and acceptance. For every Phyllis Schlafly and Jerry Falwell there is a Gloria Steinem and a Bella Abzug. For every Anita Bryant there is a Harvey Milk and Barney Frank.
There are heroes who the world can look up to who have led people from despair to hope; from Moses and Mahatma Gandhi to Martin Luther King, Jr. There are those who served in Congress who spoke up for what is right and made themselves heard across racial and gender biases including Barbara Jordon (D-Texas) and Shirley Chisholm (D-N.Y.). For every Michele Bachmann there is a Tammy Baldwin (D-Wis.).
But the spreading of evil will never disappear even when one of those who spreads it retires or dies. Today in our world of social media the message of the haters gets amplified more than it ever has before. We can only be thankful that the majority of people actually have love rather than hate in their hearts. They are open to listen and change, and to acceptance and the willingness to see the good in all people. We just need to make sure that when we see evil in the world we call it out. That when we see and hear someone spreading evil we call them out and counter it with a message of love and positivity.
You can still be out numbered and still be right! It only takes one person at the right time and place to change the status quo and history… like Rosa Parks,Harvey Milk and even you!
Even you can make a difference!
What an (ironically) hateful and biased screed. People are not "haters" or "evil" simply because they disagree with you on political issues. If you want to be respected in the national conversation, then make fact-based arguments using logic, not personal attacks based on emotion.

Skype has announced plans to overhaul its business model in order to better compete with a number of other VOIP services.
The main addition is the ability to group chat with video - something consumers have long been asking for, given it's available for free on Macs with iChat.
Skype is going to offer this service for free initially, but will begin charging in the near future as it looks to pick up more revenue of the platform.
Cheaper deals
It's also rolling out a number of new tariffs designed to cater for people that like to call at different times of the day - while still claiming that it will lower prices by up to 60 per cent.
The new move will allow more people in a greater number of countries - up from 40 to 170 - to not only call landlines, but mobiles as well using VOIP.
This move is key for the future of Skype, after it was bought from eBay for £1.3billion last September - improving the subscription model and adding in new features is pivotal if it wants to be a successful proposition in the future.

Enough populist rage. Let's cut to the chase here. Middle class people are practical and sensible so lets look at it that way. If you have a bleeding dog and take him to the vet and he says well I can help him but it will cost you a ten thousand bucks and I don't know if he will live or not anyway, but you don't have a choice, you must save him. You then look over at the dog pound and think, but if I get a new dog then that will only cost me five hundred. You look back at your bleeding dog. He has had a long life and it is his time. You must do this, the vet says, or the dog will die! You look at the dogs in the pound. They are eager, frisky and just want a place to run. So you have a choice. Shovel money after your old dog or let a new dog have his day. But you do what the vet tells you and pay the ten thousand.
Or let's look at it from a mechanical standpoint. You have a steam engine. It runs on coal. It doesn't work. You take it to the shop and the man says well you need a new cylinder, run you about ten thousand. That's funny you say, I just put a new cylinder in there. The man says, nope you need another one. So you do it and you take it home and it still doesn't run. You look in the firebox and see there is no coal there. You could have saved your self five grand by just buying a five hundred dollars worth of coal, but the mechanic kept telling you it is the engine.
The Masters of the Universe still are telling us what dog to save and how to fix our engine. The common element to both of these scenarios is they get the money. They are the vet and they are the mechanic. Capitalism is all about selling. Everyone is selling. The Masters of the Universe are selling too. They are selling their positions, their jobs, their way of life. They are saying who we have to save and how much and unfortunately no one is really questioning them. If you buy into the Banking System Must Be Saved, then you are doomed to failure. This implies an all or none scenario. This implies all banks will fail if we don't buy their bad debt for trillions of dollars. The dog will die and the engine won't run.
Alright, lets break it down to this. If you give a family a ten thousand dollar check. They will spend it. If you give them a twenty thousand dollar check. Then they will spend it. If you give them a thirty thousand dollar check, they will spend it. Here is a diagram:
Please read from bottom to top.
Now read from top to bottom
So if we give money to the butcher, the teacher, the secretary, the salesman, the accountant, the mechanic, the doctor, the conductor, the writer (had to get that in) then they will spend it and money will go UP! But if we continue to donate money for the bleeding dogs, because the Masters of the Universe tell us to, then we will just lose the money. The dog is bleeding and no one can stop it. Sometimes, you just have to get a new dog.
