The Moon combines, if only briefly, with the bright and wide eyed Mercury. This combination can bring out the affectionate and playful side of your nature, and even if you are discussing something more difficult or trying, you can bring a light touch to proceedings. Call for more astral advice… Remember when social networking began? The biggest web sites were those that reconnected us to those people we’d been at High School or college with, or those we get to know from our worldly travels. Today, this is where you can find yourself, checking out an old face or name. Call for more…
If you’ve not heard from someone in your family for some while or met up with anyone in your extended family, today can be a good time to do so. In fact, the pull of the intimacy and care they can bring and share, can be powerful. You may look at old photographs. Call for more advice… If you are someone who has a strong regard for tradition, this part of your nature can strongly echo today. You can really appreciate the fabric of your world and all the people who contribute towards it to make your life special. Rebellious, umm, someone may irritate you. Call for your forecast… Just what you say may prove to be a little bit unpredictable. Even if you’re someone who usually carefully reasons what you utter, something can still unexpectedly rise up from the depths. An invitation can also come to share a barbeque with the folks next door. Call for more advice… Head for the hills today, or if you prefer some rather more philosophical escapism, your favourite bar. Thereafter, you can let the cool breeze soothe away the stress of your mind, or you can have a really good chinwag with a good friend. Any small change can be therapeutic. Call for more… When you look at your reflection, do you see, like me, a rippling hulk staring back at you? Yes, I can tell you have the same “fullcolour” fitness poster in your bathroom as me. But seriously, your self-discipline can fall off the cliff today, and a tasty morsel may be imperative. Call now for more… People are more aware that they need to treat you and your ideas with a good deal more respect. However, there may be one straggler who is finding this concept a little difficult to get their head around. So, what do you do? I think a refresher course is in order, for them that is! Call for more… If you are an arty Leo, your latest creation can give you enormous pleasure. People can make admiring comments and you can purr with all the attention. After all, not everyone has been staring in your direction lately. Well, now there is a chance for redemption, for them! Call for more… You can find yourself being much more acutely tuned into other people today. Voices seem more vivid, faces more animated, and those that matter in your world that much more important to be in touch with. This can lead to sweet exchanges for sweethearts. Call me now for your love scope… You can find your mind and emotions speeding back to a past event, person or sensation today. Part of this may be intangible

The word is out; Your say
The word is out; Your say0 Comments | Evening Gazette (Middlesbrough, England), July 17, 2010
AS a QC and former Solicitor General, Vera Baird should really know better when it comes to her choice of words.
She says her four-bedroomed detached house is no longer sustainable without the major contribution made by Parliament , when, as the Gazette pointed out in its headline, all costs were borne by the taxpayer. Parliament doesn’t have any money at all.
When she makes do with a flat for a main home in London, how come she needed a four-bedroomed detached house in Redcar? Why is she vowing to remain loyal to Redcar? Before her election, when quizzed about her knowledge of the area after being parachuted in as Mo’s replacement, she said: constituency knowledge was “just so much baggage”. Maybe she’s grown to love it.
Meanwhile, a current MP, Tom Blenkinsop, tells all and sundry that apparently he can’t afford a new computer out of his pounds 5,000-plus per month salary and cannot put his expenses on-line till he gets his taxpayer-funded free one. And all his staff are using borrowed ones

California Tops Regions Where Homes Sell Most Over List Price, While Florida Still Languishes, According to ZipRealty's Q2 "Home Hunter Report"
California Tops Regions Where Homes Sell Most Over List Price, While Florida Still Languishes, According to ZipRealty’s Q2 “Home Hunter Report”Market Wire, July, 2010
Despite slowdowns in home sales across the country, California is still the nation’s hottest spot for home buying activity, with homes fetching multiple offers and selling above list price, according to the Q2 2010 Home Hunter report released today by ZipRealty (NASDAQ: ZIPR).
The report revealed that California was home to 91 out of the country’s 100 “hottest” ZIP codes, defined as those where homes were selling on average for most above list price, in Q2 2010. The report compared home sale prices to original list prices based on MLS data within 5,400 cities across 33 markets the national brokerage serves. The report also revealed that seven out of ten ZIP codes nationwide where homes were selling most below asking price for the same time period were located in Florida.
Other highlights from the ZipRealty Q2 2010 Home Hunter Report ( http://www.ziprealty.com/whitepaper/homehunterreport/secondquarter2010.pdf ) include:
Berkeley, California’s 94703 is the country’s “hottest” ZIP code, with homes selling on average for almost eight percent above the asking price, or an additional $45,000 over list, on average.
Winchester, Connecticut’s 06098 was the nation’s “coldest” ZIP code in Q2, with homes selling there on average nearly 30 percent under list price — an average savings of more than $200,000.
ZIP codes in California, and specifically the Bay Area, remain the “hottest” for buyer demand, including ZIP codes in Berkeley, Oakland and San Jose. See the chart below for the full list of the country’s ten hottest ZIP codes.
The country’s “coldest markets” have warmed slightly since Q2 of 2009 — with homes in the country’s 10 coldest ZIP codes selling for an average of 18 percent below asking price in Q2 of this year, as compared to an average of 22 percent below asking price in Q2 2009.
High-end housing markets nationwide continue to offer relative bargains for buyers. For example, in Miami’s Palm Beach (33480), buyers paid an average of around $1.1 million for a home in Q2, an average of $232,492 below list price. In Cape Cod’s Osterville (02655), homes sold on average for 16 percent below asking price, or an average of $180,437 under asking.
According to the total number of home searches on www.ZipRealty.com , Phoenix and its surrounding neighborhoods continue to be the most popular searched areas in the country.“The hot housing market in the second quarter in California may have resulted from increased demand from the government tax incentives without a lot of homes for sale, so many home sellers received multiple bids and sold their homes over the asking prices,” said Leslie Tyler, vice president for ZipRealty. “Florida is showing some encouraging signs of improvement, as they work off the large numbers of distressed properties. Homes in Miami are even selling close to asking price, a significant change from what we’ve been seeing over the past year.”

ICONTINUED my stay in the west Highlands and Mull last week with some great speciality birding.
A visit to the RSPB’s Loch Garten offered brilliant views of a monstrous male capercaille feeding in the canopy of a pine tree. The residing pair of osprey and red squirrel were also seen.
On Mull, and again with the RSPB at its Date with Nature site Loch Frisa, I enjoyed a memorable spell watching a pair of white- tailed sea eagles. All three species of diver were also seen around the island.
A day trip to Iona was exceptional with several corncrake calling within yards of getting off the ferry

When you feel that you
When you feel that you have harvested enough for a feeding, gently rinse the coffee filter under a stream of cold fresh water for several minutes. Swish the inverted filter in your tank, and feed the fishes. If feeding several tanks, swish the filter in a beaker of water, and feed the eels using an eyedropper.
Vinegar eels will stay near the surface of the water, so aren’t good food for bottom feeders. Surface feeders such as rainbowfish will benefit greatly from feeding vinegar eels, but a lot of cichlid fry are bottom feeders. This is why a variety of live foods is important to feeding fry.
If you do not feed vinegar eels on a regular basis, don’t worry. The culture will keep indefinitely for a year with little care needed. A couple of times per year, thin out the culture by using a coffee filter and funnel, remove about half the media, and replace with fresh media in the proper ratio.

this is a talent show. How
this is a talent show. How many of you sit back in shock when the results are announced and the most talented are ushered through the exit door.
Let us change the rules of the X Factor so that everyone gets a fair crack of the whip, how you ask?
To make it fair we call the show the Blind Factor where the judges at no time throughout the contest get to see the aspiring hopefuls, because all singing is performed behind a screen. This way you will be sure the winner of the contest is judged purely on talent alone.
There are loop holes where fellow colleagues that normally work alongside the judges will break the rules and give some inside information to influence the judge’s decision in making the right choice.
