Spanish property always on the top

But professional property investors knows, time to buy in Spain is now.... when the property are cheap and there are a lot of bank repossessions and real bargains on property in Costa Blanca or on property in Costa del Sol area.
News that reach the people from outside Spain, by the mass media, the state and situation of the Spanish economy, don't show even 1% of the today's Spanish reality. The news misslead the current macroeconomic situation in Spain and Spanish real estate market. We always trying explain to our client what's going on, on Spanish costas and in property hot spots in south of Spain. Sometimes in vain. Some people still think by stereotypes, and it's hard to convince them.
Spanish crisis? ... not on southern coasts
First of all. The situation in the Spanish real estate market in the area in which we sell houses and apartments, in the south of Spain, near the beaches and the coastal areas, differs radically from the center of Spain, Madrid, Bilbao, Toledo, Santander and Barcelona, or otherwise, largest cities in this beautiful country.
Here the property crisis is invisible, where shops and restaurants are full of visitors and customers, and every store you need to wait in line for the cash register. And there is a economic crisis, and it is a "strong", but in large Spanish cities in the north and center of the country.
In Spain, of course, is huge unemployment, especially among young people are out of work. Many people lose their jobs and permanent salaries. However, in the south of Spain, on the coast of the Costa del Sol, Costa Blanca and others, that there is no crisis. You will don't notice a sign of economic crisis. I just can not see it.
Spanish beaches are the main reason to invest in Spanish property
We do a lot of real estate sales transactions, every week. On the Spanish coast, is a huge number of people, not only professional real estate investors, but also ordinary people who once could only dream about a house in Spain.

Who is buing property in Spain today?
Swedes, Norwegians, French, Germans and Russians are buying cheap property in Spain. Poles are catching up. Once, many people could only dream of a house or apartment in Spain. Maybe you should listen to the richest and wisest of the world, such as famous Donald Trump, who actually encourages foreign investment in real estate, mostly talking about property in Spain and property in the United States.
Spanish fiestas and great Spanish culture is a magnet for home buyers in Spain
But what is associated with the property crisis in Spain? How to use it for own purposes? It's mean few good things for the new home buyer in Spain. On the Spanish property market are available great properties and we have in our offer amazing property bergains. Some property owners are desperate to sell their property and come to us incredible deals on the property in good locations in Spain, at very low prices.

Some harbour cities such as Puerto Banus (Marbella) lure the wealthiest nations such as Arabs and wealthy Russians. There are the most expensive and luxury properties of the whole Spain set among the Costa del Sol hills. Antonio Banderas has got a house here and Madonna has just bought another property on Costa del Sol. This coast is visited by 2 million of tourists every year. The average temperature reaches 18 degrees and there are 300 sunny days per year.
This Spanish coast still remains number one holidays destination among people from all over the Europe. There are about 70 golf courses for lovers of this sport. They are available all year.

Gibraltar is also a worth visiting place although do not forget about your passport as there are emigration and customs controls.

Another Look at Cost Benefit Analysis
Cost benefit analysis (CBA) is a much touted and much debated tool for environmental policymaking. At its foundation, the premise is simple; CBA uses analytical formulas to determine whether the monetized benefits of a proposed regulation outweigh the monetized costs. Where the benefits outweigh the costs, the policy proposal should become a reality. It is the seeming objectivity of CBA that makes it attractive to its proponents.
One such proponent is Professor Ben Trachtenberg of the University of Missouri School of Law. In an article forthcoming in the November/December issue of the Environmental Law Institute's Environmental Forum, Professor Trachtenberg argues that CBA has flaws, but that they are superficial flaws, which can be addressed through tweaks to the process. Specifically, Professor Trachtenberg looks to the way that the value of future human lives are discounted when conducting a CBA. Discounting is based on the economic understanding that people value money more today than in the future. For instance, if I offered $100 in 1 year, or $94 today, most people would accept a smaller sum today. Thus, if an environmental regulation will save a human life not today, but in the future, we need to calculate the value of that life and then discount it to its present value.
Professor Trachtenberg's article argues that CBA would more accurately reflect the costs and benefits of environmental policy if the discount rate were lower, that is, if the value of future lives were reduced less when converted to present value. To support this argument Professor Trachtenberg point to two items: increasing healthcare costs and increasing gross domestic product. As people are willing to pay more to avoid death and as future generations become richer, their theoretical lives become more valuable. Where future lives are more valuable, they should be discounted at a lower rate.
Professor Trachtenberg's assessment is accurate. However, Professor Kysar and I co-authored a brief response, forthcoming in the same issue of the Environmental Forum in which we argue that efforts to mend rather than end CBA in environmental policymaking will not ultimately result in better environmental governance. Efforts such as Professor Trachtenberg's are arguments for changing CBA, but more importantly they are demonstrations of how fragile CBA is.
While CBA is proffered as an objective tool, the tweaks that Professor Trachtenberg identifies are just two among many potential changes, all of which can be subjectively used and abused to change the outcome of a given analysis. CBA, therefore, creates a veil of objectivity over yet another subjective process. This sort of marginal effort will work to marginally improve policy, but it will also work to solidify the role of CBA, for better or worse. In other words, those who strive to give future generations more consideration in environmental rulemaking should take care not to relinquish alternative tools, which rest on more principled grounds, in exchange for temporary relief from the limited capabilities of CBA.

In my last post, I asked how you deal when your guy is being moody/acting stressed/closed off. I haven't totally figured it out, but one technique is to not smother him. Another technique is to give him a blow job. I did both and they seem to be doing the trick.
I woke D. up with oral. (One of the benefits of being anxious is that I didn't sleep really well and was up early.) I very slowly and carefully pulled back the sheets because I wanted to make sure I actually woke him up to the sensation of my mouth on him. He started to stir when I pulled down his boxers so I just pulled his junk through the opening and got to work.
He didn't get an erection as quickly as I expected (do you take it personally when a guy takes a while to become hard?) but it immediately woke him up. His initial reaction: dazed and confused. But that was quickly replaced with, "Oh shit yes." Ahh, sex swearing. It's when you know a guy really loves whatever you're doing.
D. reached down to take off my shirt, but I was firmly set on finishing him off with oral.
I never removed his boxers and there was something really hot about the limited contact. OK, also he hasn't trimmed for a little while and it was a good…um, how do I say this? Shield from the jungle?
Since I couldn't get to the balls, I paid special attention to the head. I even tried the "lipstick technique", which I read about here.
D. came soon after pulling out that little move. (Thank you, Cosmo!)
And for the rest of the day, I was determined not to talk about feelings, stress, or work stuff with him. I totally backed off, didn't talk about it when he called me during the day, didn't email about it, and in the evening, while we were eating dinner at my place, I just said, "Hey, you know you can talk to me about work stuff if you just need a sounding board or someone to vent to." He said, "Thanks, I really appreciate it S. I think I'm cool for now," very genuinely and that was that. And I just have to be OK with the fact that D. won't always want to vent like a chick.
Does it bother you when a guy won't open up?
Do you have any little oral tricks that make a guy finish quickly? Any hot spots on the penis I should know about?

While on the trip, the students will have first-hand opportunities to learn about glaciology, marine and avian biology, geology and plate tectonics. They will explore the Copper River Delta, known for its highly prized stocks and prolific runs of wild salmon; experience the mystical appeal of old-growth hemlock and spruce while hiking through the Chugach National Forest; white-water raft on the Sheridan River and travel across the scenic Prince William Sound and Orca Inlet, home to the world's largest population of sea otters. The trip also includes visits to Childs Glacier and the Alaska Wildlife Center, which is a rehabilitation facility for injured and orphaned wildlife.
For finishing second, the Westview High School team will receive a five-day, fully guided adventure tour of the Great Salt Lake Park, Yellowstone National Park and Grand Teton National Park. They will hike along the Continental Divide, go white-water rafting down the Snake River and swim in the Great Salt Lake Park before seeing Yellowstone's geysers, canyons and other geological formations as well as the West Yellowstone Grizzly and Wolf Discovery Center. They also will hike at Jenny Lake for spectacular observations of wildlife and tour the Upper Snake River Canyon.
The top three high school teams received trophies and individual medals, and the top 16 high school teams won $1,000 for their schools' science departments.
In the middle school competition, the Greater Boston Science & Math Team defeated the JDroids Science Club from Wayne, N.J. The members of the winning middle school team are Abhi Sambangi, Snigdha Allaparti, Michael Ren, Justin Chang and Alice Ren, and they are coached by Ravi Sambangi.
The top two middle school teams emerged victorious from a field of 48 middle school regional champions who came to D.C. to compete in the National Science Bowl Finals. The top eight middle school teams in the academic competition won $1,000 for their schools' science departments and the top three teams received trophies and individual medals.
The Energy Department created the National Science Bowl in 1991 to encourage students to excel in mathematics and science and to pursue careers in these fields. Approximately 240,000 students have participated in the National Science Bowl since its creation. Students may sign up to compete in next year's National Science Bowl competition beginning in October.

August 26, 2012-Watching Powerboats
tigersnail images-laura winter
Getting Out for a Day.
"Cast Off"
Then there was the slap of lines like fat snakes landing on the concrete and we started to back out. It was satisfying for me, after a month sitting in the marina berth, to get out of the slip, even if it was only for a motor trip to the Boca to watch a powerboat race; just to do something, anything.
Ten people had showed to go at six-forty-five so I guess it was a big deal for them, or maybe they were just like me, looking for something interesting to do on a Saturday morning in Trinidad or maybe they simply enjoyed the opportunity for another social interaction with other cruisers. Judy served coffee and tea and muffins and the scones someone brought and when we got to the Boca looking for a good viewing spot there was already a few dozen other spectator boats, so maybe it was a big deal after all. I dunno.
A guy named Gary came with us and I never met him before but he was a Kiwi and he seemed like he knew what he was doing so I gave him the helm to hold station among the pirogues and sport fishermen and I told him not to hit anyone when I went forward with Thorsten to shoot the racers when they came through the gap, if they ever did, and he didn't hit anyone but we had to wait for half an hour. No problem.
Then a skipping dot leading a white roster tail appeared on the horizon and it turned into an orange and red missile with three big outboards and three men in red crash helmets and it sped through the cut alone and was gone.
We shot a few frames and wondered if that was it, where were the rest of them and mainly where were the big boys whose motors we'd heard snorting in the boatyard all week? Shouldn't they be first?
Thorsten said there was two starts, and the big boats came soon enough; big cats with closed cockpits and snarling engines, and with photo helicopters swarming overhead, looking like they were loafing even though they were going a hundred and thirty. I missed them; looking through the viewfinder of a Nikon you don't really see much.
But I got some shots despite the cloudy weather.

When they were all gone on their way to Tobago someone joked that we should follow them to shoot the finish, Ha Ha!
Instead we went for a lazy sail on the Gulf of Paria. Gary and I checked out the Kevlar genoa which I had just got back from the loft while Chris steered and the rest finished off the scones.

We were back in the slip by noon. It was a great day; we have to do it again.

Hey, im new to security etc but im trying to learn to be a whitehat hacker. I work in tech support at a local ISP. I'm 16 and im looking into majoring in computer science. I just ordered a new box and i was wondering if someone could help me out on what version of linux i should get ahold of.
I am going to use this box, amd 500mhz, 384 ram, as a linux machine and make a small home network. I plan to use an older computer running NT 4.0 server as a domain controller and use it for gaming mainly. If anybody has any suggestions I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

Automated Scrap-Handling System at the Core of a New Stamping Plant
|A shuffle conveyor transports carbon-steel scrap from one of the smaller presses operating at Canada Stampings (above) and deposits it onto an under-the-floor shuffle-conveyor system.
In 1997, company president Dave Hewitt purchased the company; in 2006 he built a new facility to handle all operations. Focused on continuous improvement and on developing quality-assurance programs, all operators are fully trained in statistical-process-control methods to ensure products are shipped on time and to specifications.
Canada Stampings operates seven mechanical presses that range to 600 tons, and offers secondary machining services when required as well as automated robotic welding, assembly and inspection.
"Before moving equipment into the new building," says Hewitt, "we analyzed all aspects of the operation with the major objectives being to increase efficiencies, reduce changeover times, improve plant cleanliness and install state-of-the-art equipment wherever possible. We achieved all of those objectives, but one major improvement that needed additional attention was managing the scrap coming off our presses.
When scrap reaches the end of the under-the-floor shuffle conveyor, it feeds to a steel-belt conveyor that takes it to the load-out area.
Activity Under the Floor
To upgrade its scrap-handling operations, the firm researched various options and settled on a shuffle conveyor system (supplied by Press Room Techniques, Inc., now part of Mayfran International, Cleveland, OH).
"We wanted a system that would allow us to drop scrap under the floor to conveyors and take it out of the building," Hewitt says, "which would help to keep the plant clean. We also wanted a system that was as maintenance-free as possible and that would take the worry out of potential jam-ups. About 10 years ago, we installed our first three press-mounted shuffle conveyors, giving us a lot of experience with the technology and helping us to make the right decision for the new scrap-handling system."
Stamped parts exit a press at Canada Stampings on a series of shuffle conveyors and drop into a parts tote.
No Separation Anxiety
The heart of the scrap handling system is the in-ground shuffle conveyor that handles carbon and stainless steels and keeps them separate using one conveyor tray with a center divider. On the floor above, each press sits over or next to the in-ground scrap-conveyor pit. A shuffle conveyor on each press removes scrap from under the dies, dropping it into a diverter chute that directs the scrap to the proper under-floor shuffle conveyor lane. A press operator typically controls this activity; on some presses, it's done by the press control when the die number is entered into the control. When stamping nonferrous materials, the operator attaches auxiliary shuffle conveyor trays to divert the scrap to a bin next to the press, for manual dumping.
The shuffle conveyors under the plant floor run the entire length of the stamping operations. When the scrap reaches the end of the shuffle conveyor, it dumps into a 42-in. dual-lane steel-belt conveyor (also from Mayfran), which elevates it up three stories. On top, each lane drops the scrap into standard steel hinge-belt conveyors, which drop the scrap into diverter chutes that feed into the proper roll-off bins. The roll-off bins sit on scales, which the Mayfran system monitors so when the bins reach the required load level, a swivel chute switches to the empty bin alongside the full unit. This optimizes efficiency for the truck companies that haul the scrap a.
Reciprocation Innovation
The shuffle conveyor employs extremely simple technology. An electric motor moves a driveshaft on an output hub through a reciprocating motion. As the driveshaft accelerates, the scrap on the conveyor tray pushes forward several inches, where it remains while the shaft returns to its original position, and then the cycle begins again. Thus, scrap shuffles its to its destination quickly and quietly.
"We've yet to experience a single jam-up in the shuffle conveyors," says Hewitt, who also notes how reliable the conveyor's drives have proven to be. The motor and shuffle drives are direct drive—no belts or chains to break or maintain, and few of the wear-prone pinch points that characterize many conventional conveyor designs. Also, because the unit is non-vibratory, there is no risk of damaging the floor anchor system or the drive itself. In addition to having few moving parts, virtually all of the parts used in constructing the system are rated in excess of how the unit will actually perform.
Hewitt adds, "I would never go back to any other of handling scrap in the plant. We've been able to eliminate one forklift and rededicate two employees to other more productive duties. Maintenance on the system is near zero and the plant is a lot cleaner. Maintenance costs have been reduced and our increased efficiencies have resulted in increased press uptime." MF

Report summarises Global Reporting Initiative's new Construction and Real Estate Sector Supplement, provides updates on energy and sustainability legislative actions worldwide
Singapore, London and Chicago, 20th October 2011 - The emergence of international guidelines on sustainability reporting for real estate companies is one of several key global trends in corporate sustainability and responsibility reporting, executives of Jones Lang LaSalle reveal in Global Sustainability Perspective, the firm's quarterly online research report on legislative and market forces pertaining to energy, sustainability and climate change issues around the world.
"Stock analysts and investors are looking at corporate data on sustainability more and more closely as the correlation between environmental performance and financial performance becomes increasingly clear," said Dan Probst, Chairman of Energy and Sustainability Services at Jones Lang LaSalle. "Organizations like the Global Reporting Initiative and Carbon Disclosure Project have facilitated improvement in the quality and consistency of corporate sustainability reporting. The combination of better data and increased investor attention is driving several key trends in sustainability and responsibility reporting."
Trends identified in the Fall 2011 Global Sustainability Perspective include:
A new focus on reporting on real estate sector, enabled by Global Reporting Initiative's Construction and Real Estate Sector Supplement (GRI CRESS), which in addition to energy, water and carbon data, recommends reporting on building and materials certification; remediation of contaminated land; labour health and safety issues; and subcontractor labour supply chain issues.
Use of Web 2.0 applications featuring online applications that facilitate information sharing and user-centred design to engage with stakeholders, such as a feature on one company's sustainability and responsibility website that allows visitors to comment on the firm's environmental strategy and performance.
Greater transparency to enhance trust relationships at a time of growing public distrust of governments and businesses, magnified by increasing use of social media channels that make brand value difficult to control.
More integrated reports showing the relationships between financial, social and environmental performance—particularly in South Africa, where integrated reports are required for Johannesburg Stock Exchange companies; and in Brazil, where the number Global Reporting Initiative compliant reports jumped 68 percent between 2009 and 2010, compared to 22 percent globally.
The new Global Sustainability Perspective also discusses Jones Lang LaSalle's own Corporate Social Responsibility report, issued in September. CEO and President Colin Dyer comments in the introduction of the report: "As part of our commitment to create real value in a changing world, we are determined to hold ourselves accountable for the social, environmental and economic impacts of our operations and are committed to developing policies, business practices and services that will drive continuing positive change in our industry."
"The connection between sustainability reporting trends and our Energy and Sustainability Services business is very strong," said Julie Hirigoyen, Head of Sustainability Services EMEA, Jones Lang LaSalle. "We have developed a leading practice that helps clients with all aspects of their sustainability strategy – from evaluating portfolio-wide sustainability risks to delivering practical solutions like energy management or building certification projects, and more recently identifying renewable energy opportunities through the use of a proprietary software tool (RESPRO). Our clients are very focused on monitoring financial risks associated with sustainability, and finding effective ways of reporting on these to investors – hence the relevance of sustainability reporting trends to their businesses."
