Real Estate
Real Estate
Who pays when real estate agencies solicite sellers?
We have a valuable piece of property that we have put "on the back shelf" during the recent economy bust - things are improving now ~ and we have been contacted by several agencies who supposedly have buyers for it.
We have never listed it nor have we ever offered it for sale so what is the standard here? Know a lot about real estate but not about real estate agents or realtors. Seems to me that if the Buyers iniate an agency's search - there are three of them sending us letters - then the buyers should pay the commission.
Until I learn more, hopefully from some of the smart people on this board, I'm simply filing their letters and not returning their calls...
Good question. I did something similar a few years ago for a buyer client. They wanted a certain area in a neighborhood. Nothing was listed. I went back to all the sales transactions and contacted the owners to see if any wanted to sell. I found someone who needed to sell and we worked out a price that included my half of the commission we did a one time showing agreement even though it was a lot.
So, although the commission was paid through the transaction the buyer paid a slightly higher price.
Fun and Info
Basically this would be a show and sell commission. You sign an agreement with agent for a reduced commission amount and the agent shows it their buyer at the price you agree upon. Set the price to include the commission. This agreement would typically apply to the agent and a specific buyer. Really not that uncommon- did it hundreds of times in the 30 yrs I was an agent.
Is the property residential/commercial/vacant land with a specific zoning? In our area about 80% of the time residential and v/l zoned residential the commission is paid by the seller. But, with commercial properties the buyers tend to pay their agent and sellers their agent. Even if you don't think you need an agent check around find out what is the trend for your area and be certain to get a true market value.
Concentrating on finding value now would be my thought process. Contact three agents for comps. Then decide, no promises to agents and you are going to think about it. You may decide to wait more time for market return. Not one of my investors are selling yet.
Any potential of leasing land, ie. signage Billboard, fruit stands..etc. Wenkend swap meets, car shows, in the interim..
to help offset taxes and expenses? Just a thought.This message has been edited. Last edited by: real estate lady,
Thanks, Charming, Mamaspoon and Lakelark for your comments so far ~ any one else feel free to chime in.
Lakelark, there are actually two different properties that we have been receiving letters about but the one I was referring to in this post is a 20 acre parcel currently zoned agricultural which is now surrounded by new subdivisions built 2002-2005 (we were the only hold-out) and then the real estate market collapsed @ 2008 ~ now it is slowly coming back and we are starting to receive these letters once again.
The zoning isn't really a problem ~ easy to get a change to match the rest of the "new" area ~ the subdivisions are fairly upscale with houses from $500K to $850K (boom time prices - now probably half that) and I think the current ones looking to buy are investors waiting for a resurgence in building....
The other property is commercial - single office space in a desirable area. We've never listed either property for sale either by ourselves or through a real estate agency. Just seems to me that people looking to buy a particular piece of property who are using a real estate agent should pay the commission themselves. I know we can simply increase the purchase price to compensate but, with tighter banking regulations, adding the commission to the FMV might exceed the requirements re the appraisal amounts.
That's particularly a concern with the existing commercial property ~ the farm/development property seems to operate in a "zone" of its own! In any event, we are in no hurry to sell either property but I just wondered why agencies spend their time tracking down our properties, sending us letters and then want us to pay their commission?
PS. Mamaspoon, I posted my recipe you requested for Cashew Scampi on the March dinner thread in case you were interested.
Thanks, REL, just saw your post after I just posted. Totally agree, we are in no hurry and are willing to wait out the market return even though, of course, there are costs associated with that strategy ~ not really a problem although no one likes spending money on taxes and such ~ but, no, we can afford it without resorting to having to create some cash flow- good idea, though!
Guess my frustration that lead me to post this thread is WHY these agencies are tracking us down, sending us letters and then playing cute with the implication of "we have the names of potential buyers and, if you agree to pay our commission, we'll tell you who they are" ~ do they think we are stupid or what???
Another thought- the people who are desirous of your properties are probably qualified, motivated buyers ready to purchase now, not at some point in the future, who are working with the Realtor now.
Mamaspoon, That's a good point to consider....
Idaho... If you have an inclination to sell, don't dismiss Realtors who most likely have ready,willing and able buyers. You do not have to list your property to sell it.
However determining value is key--- first.
A Real estate attorney can help you review offers. Careful though on PMMS (Purchase money mortgage) or Agreement for Deed.This message has been edited. Last edited by: real estate lady,
Thanks, REL! I really appreciate the many suggestions and ideas which is why I posted this thread.
And, I agree, that determining value is key. Done that ~ I know the value for the commercial property ~ and I guess that is why I was so insulted that agencies would track us down, send us letters and then offer a 30% discounted offer of the FMV in order to get a "buy" for their buyers and then ask US to pay their commission as well ~ not happening...
The farm/development property is another story ~ only "investors" buying right now ~ totally understand, the ones wanting to buy are the ones waiting to sell to builders when the market picks up once again. Wish them all well but they won't be playing with our property ~ think we will decide whether or not to sell on our own terms.
And, no, it won't be with anyone or any agency that thinks soliciting sellers and then asking sellers to pay the commission is the way to go...
Well, remember those Realtors may be representing the buyers, and in cases... the buyer are willing pay their agents' commission. Remember if you do ever list it is the sellers agent job to get "highest and best price"...(if the market so bears).
Very good points, REL ~ perhaps I should call back some of the agencies soliciting the sale. Might be that their buyers are willing to pay the commission but, have to say, think we are going to hold fast for the time being.
Real estate prices here are inching up ~ very slowly but still going up! Looking forward to a resurgence in the market for everyone.
IR - Don't forget your carrying costs to hold onto the land as it inches up in value. I don't know what your property taxes are like and how much insurance you are carrying but too many sellers forget to factor the costs in when they decide to hold out for a better price.
Right now in my area it is difficult to get financing for property, if you are going to sell it to a developer then they would have financing in place. They will also probably have an arrangement with their agent to cover the commission. If it is a sale to an individual with traditional financing, it would not be out of the ordinary to bump the price up to include commission.
Fun and Info
Very Good point,That is all good point to consider.

Client Edit Site Without Ruby Knowledge
My name is Troy. I am a client for a web site that I had developed.
Currently, I'm looking for a solution to edit my web site that was delivered to me coded in the Ruby on Rails platform. I'm going to provide some information in hopes that I can find a solution to either learn how to edit this web site or a link to a tutorial to find how to understand RoR a little more to do simply modifications to the site such as add text, etc.
I'm overly familiar with HTML & PHP. I want to be able to edit text on my web site. For those reading this they will hear the novice in my text. I can and get the results I desire when I edit the .haml files via SFTP and get the site to update as I want. The problem though is if I edit files in the running instance it isn't included in revision history. When the developer runs automatic deploy command the changes gets lost. I was advised that,
there's no solution for that other than you learning a bit about git.
With HTML when I do client work I can provide them with a CMS or a static HTML file so they can edit text. Could someone point me in the right direction.

Troy, it sounds like you are editing the files on your web server, but not the main repository, so when you redeploy from your version controlled source, your changes are deleted.
If you are using git, you need to clone your repository make those changes, commit the changes, and then push them back to the hosted repository where they are merged into the branch used for deployment.
Github has a learning center that will walk you through the basics http://learn.github.com/
I hope this helps.

A Special Forces soldier from Fort Bragg was killed in combat Saturday after a car bomb exploded, the Pentagon said Monday.
Master Sgt. Anthony R.C. Yost, 39, of Flint, Mich., died in Mosul, Iraq, when a bomb carried by a vehicle detonated near his position during combat operations, the Defense Department said in a prepared statement.
Yost had been trained as a crewman on an M-1 tank but was assigned to the 3rd Battalion of the 3rd Special Forces Group at Fort Bragg, Army spokeswoman Maj. Desiree Wineland said.
She said she had no information on the circumstances of Yost's death.
Eleven U.S. soldiers were wounded Saturday in the northern city of Mosul after attacking a suspected al-Qaeda safe house before dawn. During the intense gunbattle with suspected al-Qaeda members, three insurgents detonated explosives and killed themselves to avoid capture, Iraqi officials said.
Five more insurgents died fighting, while four police officers also were killed.

Comcast and AT&T may be incumbents but their offerings are absolutely horrible. Internet is unreliable in Comcast's case, and slow in AT&T's case. Both companies have horrendous customer service. The best internet service I've ever had is with Speakeasy, using AT&T's twisted pair lines, but the speeds are abysmal (because of AT&T's lines).
I for one am more than happy to pay $100/month for fast, reliable, non-shared Internet access of 20-30 Mbps. Just give me a simple pipe with fast and reliable bits. That's all I ask. Nobody offers that now.

Why do you need fast internet or wireless coverage? Just go to one of your dozen libraries!!!

Hi Greg,
I can go to the library and use the internet. But what about carrying my big screen TV to the library.
If you are stuck in time and not progressive your definition of Internet is nothing but browsing.

The play takes its title from a staple vaudeville character, an effeminate homosexual male, who was featured in burlesque sketches and films of the era. The Nance is set during New York City Mayor Fiorello La Guardia's campaign to ban burlesque in the 1930's. The New York Times first reported the news about the project.
Beane, who also earned a Tony nomination for the book to Xanadu, told Playbill.com that he has set the play at the Irving Theatre, which is where Off-Broadway's Vineyard Theatre now stands in Union Square.
Beane recently held a reading of the play that featured Lane (Addams Family, The Producers) in the title role, along with Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson star Benjamin Walker, Daphne Rubin-Vega (Rent) and Lane's Tony Award-nominated Addams Family cast mate Kevin Chamberlin.
Beane's most recent play, Mr. and Mrs. Fitch, premiered Off-Broadway at Second Stage Theatre last season. He is currently at work on the new pop musical Give It Up!, based on the Greek classic Lysistrata. He earned a Tony nomination for The Little Dog Laughed and has also penned As Bees in Honey Drown and Music from a Sparkling Planet.

My father pessad away almost a year ago from Alzheimer's, it's a terrible terrible disease, when we first started suspecting something was wrong was when my father started having complications in doing everyday tasks, it was really heartbreaking to find out that he had Alzheimer's, we suffered as much as he did because it's really hard seeing as his illness progressed, to those familys taking care of an Alzheimer's patient I can only say try to always show as much love as you can till the end.

Well Baby Sis....most of your siblings are over 40 and this "most ecainnt sister" is 50 and none of us has had early onset Alzheimers....yet. Out of Dad's 8 siblings, just 2 (a brother and sister) developed Alzheimers before 80. Dad is the youngest of the three to develop it earlier (by his late 60s--dementia and then the Alzheimers came on in his early 70s). I am in contact with most of our cousins, and as far as I know--no one has dementia or Alzheimers. This is particularly interesting since the 6 children of Uncle Bud (who was the brother with Alzheimers) are now in their late 60s and early 70s and none have it. So keep exercising, eat those red fruits and veggies, take your vit. D and omega 3s, and PRAY HARD. Maybe we won't get it after all.

Hi Barbara,
I spoke with Dr. Keilson and he does recommend asking for medication as it will help to slow your mother's progression a bit. A common group of drugs, known as cholinesterase inhibitors, are most beneficial for mild or moderate Alzheimer's disease. They work by slowing down the disease activity that breaks down a key neurotransmitter, known as acetylcholine. You should note that while these drugs can initially help, they can't reverse Alzheimer's disease and they don't stop the underlying destruction of nerve cells. As always, you should discuss your mother's medication with her physician, as all patients have unique treatment requirements.
Although Maimonides Medical Center doesn't have any upcoming lectures or support group meetings, Dr. Keilson recommends calling the Alzheimer's Association to find a local group in your area. You can call 1 (800) 272-3900 or visit their "In My Community" webpage (http://www.alz.org/apps/findus.asp) to find support near you.
Dr. Keilson also recommends to plan in advance for the financial cost of Alzheimer's disease. "Most patients will eventually need help at home," he states. "Start planning now on how you're going to save for this care."

MELROSE, Wis. (WXOW) Another area track star is running down a division one scholarship.
Melrose-Mindoro's Alex Hatlevig signed his letter of intent to compete at UW-Milwaukee Tuesday.
Hatlevig put his signature on the bottom line Tuesday at a ceremony at the school.
He's coming off a sensational junior year in which he won the 100 and 200 meter dash in division 3 at the state meet.
He also helped the Mustangs 1600M relay take second.
And with Tuesday's signing, he's earned another place in school history.
When I heard that I thought wow, I never knew I was going to be the first D-1 athlete at Mel-Min in 30 years," Hatlevig said.
"It's great to know that I'm that person, it was exciting knowing that I was a potential D-1 athlete I never thought when I was little or a freshman that oh maybe track and field will be a good thing to do in college. I never thought I would go D-1 especially at a school as big as UW-Milwaukee. It's going to be a big change. I'm used to just a little town and know almost everybody in the town and go to a big city it's going to be a whole different atmosphere. I'm not going to know anyone when I go there, no one from my school is going to UW-Milwaukee so it's going to be a whole different experience."

Ilya Kabakov
In the museum's permanent installation "The Garbage Man (The Man Who Never Threw Anything Away)" from 1983–95, the viewer is surrounded by an architectonic construction of light, total silence, color and objects.
© Ilya Kabakov, The Garbage Man (The Man Who Never Threw Anything Away), 1988–1995, installation
The viewer is inside something that resembles a stateowned communal apartment, a "kommunalka," from the former Soviet Union.
Here one gets a sense of what the atmosphere and the quality of life was like in this milieu. Staged communal apartments recur
often in Kabakov's work, perhaps because they were a prevalent feature in his childhood.
The installation consists of three rooms that are reminiscent of a loft, where rubbish has been accumulating over many years. Gradually as one moves further into the installation, one notices that all of the trash is carefully catalogued and archived. Small insignificant objects are glued onto charts or catalogued in cupboards with precise references to date and an "event". The objects are a mix of things the artist took with him from the old communist state and things he has found since he moved to the West.
The things' generic charm comes across as empty and uninteresting for the majority, yet by presenting these things Kabakov is staging our memories, and lack thereof. Like a melancholic he attempts to hold tight to the past and invoke reminiscences from a life lived. In this way he imbues these objects with value.
The time-consuming, tedious and repetitive work attests to reflecting on human consumption. Why is it that some things are thrown away while others are preserved and cared for as treasures? Kabakov ponders the narrow boundary between what is considered valuable and that which is discarded. The objects in this installation, which were previously considered junk, have now become treasures on display in museums behind protective glass. Ilya Kabakov was born in 1933 in Ukraine. He lives and works in New York.

- I wrote in this space a week ago that Nelson Cruz's wRC+ was 61. It is now 97. The switch flipped, sometime in Baltimore, it seems.
- Dave Cameron of Fangraphs.com pointed out on twitter that Josh Hamilton had accummulated 1.6 Wins Above Replacement over the week that was. David Murphy averaged 1.4 fWAR per year in his previous five years. In other words, Josh Hamilton did about as much damage over the previous seven days as David Murphy does in the average six months.
Normally, things like that seem hard to believe, but not in this case.
- My fear that Albert Pujols would click and go back to, well, being Albert Pujols is lessened somewhat by seeing him up close. His bat just seems slow; moreso, it's ungainly. There's no way the real Albert Pujols swings through Koji Uehara's 88 mph fastball like this version did in game one. Ultimately, he'll start hitting like a reasonable simulacrum of Albert Pujols at some point, but the farther this season goes, the less likely that is to matter for 2012.
- My fear of Mike Trout, though, is just developing. Watching him play against your team must be what fans of other teams feel watching Elvis Andrus or Ian Kinsler play against their team; he just does so many things well that he's constantly grating your nerves.
- The exact opposite of that coin is Vernon Wells. I always want to see Vernon Wells in the batter's box.
- The one negative from this series is how the team treated CJ Wilson in the first inning of game two. After he couldn't find the strike zone and walked Ian and Elvis to start the game, Josh couldn't help himself swinging at the edges of the zone (although I don't blame Josh for swinging at everything within two feet these days) and Beltre went up and swung at a ball that turned into an inning-ending double play.
The aggressive, take-your-pitch-and-drive-it approach this team features obviously has its charms. But the downside to it is letting a pitcher who's begging you to let him string himself up work his way back into the game, turning what should have been a disastrous start into a quality one.
- Then again, that same free-swinging bunch turned Jered Weaver's start the next day into a disaster, so things balance themselves out.
- We're now 35 games into the season, meaning a little over 20 percent of 2012 is in the books. The Rangers have not made a single change to the 25 man roster, and only one (virtually procedural) change to the 40 man roster. That kind of stability has to speak to the rock-solid nature of this organization, from roster construction to leadership to preparation, down to the guy who makes sure there are clean socks in every locker.
- If the whole 'Geez this team is good' point hasn't been made yet, the Rangers are +80 in Run Differential, which simply means they've scored 80 more runs than they have allowed as a team. The next-best in the Majors is the Cardinals, at 65. The next-best in the AL is Toronto- at 22. The next-best in the West is Oakland- at -11. Yes, they've allowed eleven more runs than they've scored.
No team in the Majors has scored more than the Rangers' 207. No team in the AL has allowed less than the Rangers' 127. Several teams in the NL have a lower runs allowed total, but baseball doesn't really count when pitchers hit.
- In fact, there are five non-Rangers teams with positive run differentials- the AL East (Boston, New York, Baltimore, Toronto, and Tampa). Their run differentials are +2, +17, +15, +22, and +9, in the order they read previously. This adds up to 65. That is still less than 80.
Normally, things like that seem hard to believe, but not in this case.

Exchanging gifts is supposed to be enjoyable, but between the crowds, the pressure to overspend, and the limited amount of time you have to prepare, it ends up being uber stressful. This year, make your pre- and post-holiday season easier by following these gift etiquette guidelines:
Gift Etiquette for Receiving Gifts
How can I refuse a gift I don't want my kids to have? If the gift came with a receipt, you don't need to say anything but thank you. With the receipt, you can easily return the gift without the giver even knowing that you had a problem with it. If you don't have a receipt and need to ask for one, explain that you've chosen not to allow your children to have this type of gift (such as a video game that's inappropriate), but that you appreciate the sentiment and would like to allow him to pick something else out in its place.
How do I ask for money instead of gifts? Let your family know that you and/or your child are saving up for something special, and ask them directly if they would consider contributing to your efforts in lieu of gifts this year.
How quickly should I send thank you notes? Generally speaking, you'll want to send out thank you notes within one month. If your children are old enough to write, have them help you with this task or, even better, write the notes themselves. To save time, buy fill-in-the-blank kids' thank you cards, or mail a picture of your child enjoying the gift with a brief note saying how much she's enjoying it.
I don't have room for more toys! How can I set limits? You have two options: you can limit what comes in, or you can purge your kids' toy collections before or after each holiday and birthday. To do this, teach your kids to give away one older toy they no longer play with for every new one that comes in. Or, if you'd prefer to limit the gifts your kids receive, ask your family and friends to consider making a donation in your child's name instead of buying gifts this year. Another option is asking for gift cards to your kids' favorite stores. This way, they can consolidate the money they receive and purchase one thing they'll really enjoy, rather than receiving ten things they may or may not play with.Santa seems to spend a lot more money on gifts for my kids' friends than he does on us. How can I explain this? Explain that Santa never goes against what we, as parents, want for our kids. So while other parents may not be bothered by "stuff-itis," Santa knows that you want your kids to value what they have. You can also explain that there are always going to be kids who get more, but there are plenty of kids who receive less, too.
Gift Etiquette for Buying Gifts
How can I cut my holiday spending this year? Let your family know that you need to cut back, and suggest that you all pull names from a hat, make homemade gifts, or aim for "small and thoughtful" gifts this year. Having this conversation early – by Thanksgiving at the latest – will help ensure that everyone has a chance to opt in or out in time for the the holiday.
When exchanging gifts, do I have to spend as much on others as they spend on my kids and me? Absolutely not! Gift giving should be a thoughtful gesture, not a competition; so don't spend more than you can afford. Remember, too, that when someone chooses to spend an extraordinary amount of money on you or your children, that's their decision. Don't let it persuade you to spend more than you should!
I'm planning to give homemade gifts this year. How can I make them more personal? Attach a hand-written note explaining why you chose to make this gift in particular, or how you envision them enjoying it. For example, if you're making jars of hot cocoa mix, explain how you appreciate all their hard work and want them to enjoy a few moments of peace and relaxation. Let your kids help you with this effort, too.

Black Friday 2010, hot or not?
December 1, 2010 | Posted By: Laura Pagles
Did retailers finally take over American Thanksgiving? With ad leaks, ad rumors, and even ad releases seen as early as October 2010, shoppers had time to plan, shop ahead, and shop around, or wait for the most popular deals. Despite early Black Friday buzz, the hottest deals still hit closer to the holiday. FatWallets Black Friday coverage came from multiple channels like our @blackfridayFW twitter, Black Friday 2010 forum, Black Friday Filter, and Expert Picks.
Black Friday 2010 Forum
The first Black Friday ad rumor to hit FatWallets Black Friday 2010 forum, the Harbor Freight Black Friday 2010 Ad, came in as early as October 18. Posted by MrCodeDude, it was an immediate hit. But the most popular ad rumors posted by members this year were those for electronics dealers and posted closer to Black Friday itself. Black Friday ad rumors for Best Buy, Target, and Newegg received the highest ratings by users, while two Newegg deals, including Newegg's ULTRA-SECRET Black Friday Deals! Received the highest views per day.
Black Friday Filter
Did you meet our new BFF? FatWallet staff pumped the Black Friday Filter database full of store, product, and pricing information as soon as ad rumors hit. Every Black Friday ad rumor to land on FatWallet was easily sorted in one central location for consumers looking to drill down to exactly the product or store on their Black Friday radar. This new product received positive and constructive feedback:
I used it and thought it was great. I knew exactly what I was looking for but did not know where to find it let alone find it at the best price so it was very helpful. Karen Olsen (Facebook)
...I would like to see the concept developed, like adding links to the ads (maybe?). Also, it would have been nice to know which items were considered "door busters" and which ones extended a couple days (without having to filter them). Again, I had to refer to the ads. Thanks for making a great tool available to us. I hope to see more of it in the future. - 116sloppyjoe116 (FatWallet member)
Black Friday Expert Picks
Our expert deal hunters were on the look out this year for the Best Black Friday Deals. Once again, electronics ruled with Westinghouse 40" 1080p LCD HDTV for $298, Toshiba Satellite 15.6" Laptop, $197.99, and eMachine (eME528-2325) 15.6" Laptop, $198 leading in popularity.
Was Black Friday 2010 hot or not? From the traffic and activity weve seen, yes, Black Friday 2010 was hot. But thats just our take. How did you fare this year? Did FatWallets coverage point you to the deal or products on your list? Did you nab it from the convenience of your PC or brave the lines?

I didn't get any items from BF itself. Most items on my wishlist were not on sale. Missed couple of interesting deals I would like to get, but was not too quick.
FW did a good job, but sellers did not in most cases :)
I did get few things before or after BF though :) thanks FW.

I think Black Friday was great, if you were looking for good buys you could find them. It was great to only look in one place and watch the daily updates. I was impressed!

The pool was perfect and the supplies abundant.
Review submitted: November 14, 2011 Date of arrival: July 14, 2011
We very much enjoyed our stay at the Hibiscus home! The price was right on the money for our group of six considering the amenities. We had room to stretch out, a private pool and our kids liked Kua Bay and Hapuna beaches the best for boogie-boarding, so we had to drive anyway to get to the beach. The drive to Safeway and Walmart was convenient and the view from the lanai was unbeatable! The pool was perfect and the supplies abundant. With daily trips to the beach, the washer and dryer were used frequently. We lacked for nothing!!!!
I certainly hope we can stay at your rental again in the future. My elderly mom especially enjoyed being able to stay in a home. We loved taking walks in the neighborhood and soaking up the view of the shoreline. We ate breakfast every morning on the deck and enjoyed the sunset views every evening.
Thanks again! - The G. Family, Spring Valley CA July 2011

We would gladly return to this property
Review submitted: February 27, 2011 Date of arrival: January 12, 2011
Our party of 4 adults stayed 10 days at the Hibiscus House. There was plenty of room to spread out for all and would have easily accommodated another couple or even a few kids. We found it not only very well-equipped with dishes, utensils, pots and pans in the kitchen, but other essential supplies as well--paper towels, laundry soap, tissues, t-paper, basic spices, coffee filters, foil, plastic bags, etc. The house was located in a very nice and quiet neighborhood, and the lanai provided excellent viewing of the ocean and sunsets. There were beach towels, chairs, mats, and boogie boards available to take to the beach if desired. We fully used and enjoyed the pool and hottub out back. The house was clean on arrival and the washer/dryer lets you pack a lot lighter for extended stays. We would gladly return to this property in the future and recommend it to others. -Victoria R., Baker City OR Jan '11

We felt right at home & the view was stunning
Review submitted: November 29, 2010 Date of arrival: August 7, 2010
We stayed about a week in this home with our 4 children and everyone loved the house. The beds were comfortable, The lanai swing was my personal favorite. The kids loved the pool. You were very helpful and kind from the beginning to the end. There are so many extras in this house that no other rental compared on our 3 island vacation. We felt right at home and the view was stunning. The house is set in a very nice neighborhood and we felt very relaxed. There were extras in the kitchen, laundry room, bathroom and the list goes on. Some of my family on the island came by for dinner and they were all in awe of the home. The next time I stay on the Big Island I will be renting this marvelous treasure. Thank you sooo much for the whole experience. -- The Sellers Family, Hayward CA, Aug 2010

Location was perfect, pool was excellent
Review submitted: April 7, 2010 Date of arrival: March 22, 2010
The kitchen supplies were excellent. We had bought a few things on the way there from the airport which we found we really did not need. Thank you for the kitchen supplies, toilet paper, paper towels, laundry soap, etc. That was very welcome as compared to other places we have rented. We will book again just for that type of hospitality and thoughtfulness. As for the rest, the location was perfect for our needs and the pool was excellent. We have already recommended Hibiscus to people who have asked about our trip and we will book with you again. -- Toni and Glendon M., West Jordan UT, March 2010

Men's Tennis Continues Fall Slate at Bedford Cup Hosted by Florida
FORT MYERS, Fla. – Coming off a strong showing at the Southern Intercollegiate Championships last weekend in Georgia, the FGCU men's tennis team will continue its strong fall schedule on Friday when it begins play at the 2012 Bedford Cup hosted by the University of Florida.
The 64-team singles draw includes six Eagles, while FGCU will put three doubles teams in the 32-team doubles draw.
The Bedford Cup was started in 2011 to feature the top collegiate men's tennis players from all 11 NCAA Division I men's tennis programs in the state of Florida. It is sponsored by the Youth Tennis Foundation of Florida, Inc., and the Edward T. Bedford Foundation.
"The Bedford Cup is a great tournament where every Division I team in the state of Florida will be represented," said head coach C.J. Weber. "It will be equally as tough as the Southern Intercollegiate and I'm looking forward to building off of last week's performances."
FGCU will take a lineup that features four players that took part in last week's season-opening event, while redshirt senior Jackson Moore (Bradenton, Fla./Lakewood Ranch HS/Georgia State) and freshman Dylan Gunning (Boca Raton, Fla./Olympic Heights HS) will see their first action of the year.
Junior Dean Tsamas (Lexington, Ky./Henry Clay HS) accounted for two of FGCU's six singles wins last weekend, as the Lexington, Ky. product advanced through the field of 64 in the Division II bracket all the way to the Round of 16. Tsamas went 2-1 in Georgia, taking four straight sets from opponents from fellow Atlantic Sun members Kennesaw State and Mercer before dropping a hard-fought 7-5, 6-4 match to Ole Miss' Zach Wilder.
Sophomore Jordi Vives (Barcelona, Spain/IES Ferran Tallada/USC) made his FGCU debut last weekend and opened in style with a convincing 6-4, 6-2 victory against Jeff Offerdahl of Vanderbilt in the Division I Singles draw. Vives finished the opening weekend with a 1-1 singles record and 0-1 doubles mark with his singles defeat coming against No. 21 Jonas Lutjen of Ole Miss, who went on to win the tournament. A transfer from 2012 National Champ USC, Vives will team with 2012 A-Sun Freshman of the Year Tianyu Bao (Tianjin, China/Bayshore HS (FL)) in doubles play this weekend at the Bedford Cup. Bao went 0-2 in singles play last weekend, but fell to a pair of ACC foes from Georgia Tech and Clemson, winning at least three points in each set.
The final returner from last weekend will be sophomore Michael Beiler (Palm Harbor, Fla./Dunedin HS), who was the only FGCU player to have at least one win in both singles and doubles play. Beiler teamed with senior Colin Brown (Victoria, Texas/Memorial HS) in the Division II Doubles draw and used a pair of wins, highlighted by a victory against Georgia Tech, to advance to the Round of 16. Beiler will team with Gunning this weekend, giving FGCU a pair of doubles squads that are all underclassmen.
FGCU's individual and doubles schedule for Friday is listed below along with a full schedule for the entire Bedford Cup. Fans can get updates of all the action twitter by following @FGCUMensTennis while a full recap of each day can be found on www.FGCUATHLETICS.com.

Civil wars, those raging and those yet to come, present the largest immediate threat to human societies. Some have similar roots, but there is no overall unifying cause; except, perhaps, a conviction that the conflict is a fight to oblivion. Victory or death.
Syria currently leads in this grisly league. Deaths now total well over 100,000 in the war between the country's leader, President Bashar al-Assad,and opposition forces. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported nearly 126,000 dead last month, and said it was probably much higher. More than 2 million Syrians have left their country as refugees, and 4.25 million have fled their homes to other parts of Syria. Last week, a report by three former war crime prosecutors alleged that some 11,000 prisoners had been tortured, many to death, in "industrial scale killing" by the regime of President Assad.
We are watching a relentless horror unfold. The current negotiations between the various factions of the opposition and the Assad government in Montreux may have saved some women and children from the besieged city of Homs, but at the core remains a presently insuperable clash of aims: the regime insists that Assad remain in power, the opposition that he depart immediately. Assad's forces appear to have the advantage.
Support from Iran and Russia for Assad's forces is steady and significant. A Reuters report earlier this month said that aid from Russia was increasing. Michael Hayden, the former head of the CIA, said in Washington last month that an Assad win might be the best "out of three very very ugly options."
Another ugly option — according to Hayden the most likely — is continuing conflict between Sunni and Shi'ite Islam factions. It could create a larger civil war, dragging one Muslim country after another into deepening conflict over the two branches' differing interpretations of the legacy of the Prophet Mohammad. The Shi'ite, the minority in the Muslim world, is the majority in Iraq. There the Sunni minority, which had been the most loyal supporters of the late dictator Saddam Hussein, are attacking Shi'ite centers and provoking counter attacks.

vacation rental description
Why pick this unit?:
1) Location, Location, Location! ,
2) Luxurious Living at an unbeatable value,
3) Local knowledge and Assistance,
4) Near Sandy Beaches (most rentals are on rocky beaches),
5) Our Punta Mita, Nayarit website
1) Location, Location, Location! :
Most places listed as "Punta Mita" are not actually in Punta Mita. They are in the surrounding area. Almost all of these units would require a car or very long hike to get to any form of market, restaurant, marina for excursions, etc. However, we are located in an exclusive and secure community just on the edge of the main strip. For guests who would rather walk and enjoy the local experience, this is one of the few options.
2) Luxurious Living at an unbeatable value:
This luxurious ocean-view unit complete with beautiful pool area and cabana offers everything you could need at a surprisingly low price. This is because we're not developers or investors. We simply want to generate a consistent income that is enough to pay our vacation home expenses - no more, no less. As a result, we charge a price that is far below that of others with comparable or less appealing properties charge. You can have value and luxury too :) .
3) Local knowledge and Assistance:
Accurate information is very hard to find in Mexico. In order to accommodate this, we have spent a great deal of time creating accurate maps of amenities, recommendations, where our guests get fair "locals" prices, etc. It might not seem like much but trust me, you'll be thrilled to have access to such thorough unbiased experience at a time when everyone will be trying to sell you their products, trips and wares. In addition to the information we will leave in your unit, we and our property manager are available daily. They won't allow me to post my email in this section but it is on the booking link. Feel free to email me or call me anytime 8 am to 11pm California, US time.
4) Sandy Beaches:
Our unit has a private walking path to the west end of a 5-mile stretch of sandy beaches. Most units listed as beachfront in Punta Mita on vrbo are actually oceanfront on rocky beaches one to three miles to the west and require a car ride or rocky walk to get to the sandy beaches.
5) Our Website:
We have created the hands-down best and most informative website about the Punta Mita area that you will ever find. Everything you need to know about vacationing in Punta Mita and our unit can be found on this website which was built specifically to provide information to renters of this property. They don't allow full url's in this section but it is: Go Relax Punta Mita . c o m with no spaces or select our website link.

The New York Red Bulls did everything right except for two small things. They didn't put the ball into the back of the net, and they made one awful mental error to gift a goal to the Philadelphia Union. Other than that, they were the better team for 90 minutes. Unfortunately, scoring and not making bad mental errors in defense are almost certainly the two most important aspects of the game, so despite their apparent superiority, it's hard to argue that the Red Bulls deserved to win.
In the 68th minute, Tim Ream turned the ball over to Danny Mwanga, who found Roger Torres for the goal, and that was that. The Union played with 10 men behind the ball for the vast majority of the game and defended extremely deep. Ream, Rafael Marquez, and Teemu Tainio were not pressured when they had the ball. Philly played for a 0-0 draw, and they got a 1-0 win. It was a tough loss for the Red Bulls, but it's unlikely that Hans Backe is set to make wholesale changes anytime soon. Based on the way they played for most of this match, they should start winning games any time now.

good Lord man. where do you find those pics?
Blank's gonna have to cut his losses soon because the falcon faithful are gonna lose patience if the team doesn't get to the playoffs. 3 first round WRs, an all pro TE, an elite RB, and the offense can't sustain drives? Any other QB and that O should be on the same level as Cinci or the Colts. Vick was and always is a liability to the team.

Sorry, but I just don't see how that's possible. The angle of view does not change, regardless of the position of light sources or what you're shooting. By design, the lens hood does not impinge upon the area of the image circle which is sampled by the image sensor. Depending on lighting, you could be seeing a shadow from the hood that is cast upon the lens - that's the lens hood doing it's job. But if you are using the correct hood, and it is properly mounted, you will never see the lens hood in the image.
Yeah, I figured it was a shadow. It is difficult to not correctly mount the hood as it has both a red key symbol + a red dot to show when it is locked in place properly, I did a double-take, then removed the hood and was better without

Members of the Blount County Democrats Party honored the three outgoing members of the Blount County commission during a hotdog reception Sept. 25, at the Blount County Public Library.
Former commissioners David Ballard, Dr. Bob Proffitt and Wendy Pitts Reeves were honored at the event.
Proffitt said they appreciated the good wishes, and the folks who honored them.
"I think all of us always appreciate recognition, and in our county certainly the Democratic Party is minority party, but it means a great deal. It was a well-done reception, and it was good to hear some of the thoughts of the folks who attended."
Reeves said support for her crossed party lines. "It has been very humbling the outpouring of respect and kind words I've received, from not only Democrats, but Republicans and from people who don't care about political affiliation," she said. "I'm proud of the work I've done, but I'm especially proud of the county in which I live."

The Indiana Pacers announced Wednesday they have signed free agents David West and C.J. Watson.
Re-signing West was a key goal for Pacers management. The three-year deal is reportedly worth $36 million. Much like the player, the negotiations were up front, to the point and drama-free.
Pacers President Larry Bird spoke to reporters at a news conference Wednesday afternoon, along with West and Watson.
Watch the news conference here.
About C.J. Watson
Watson, a 6-2, 180 lb. guard, is a six-year veteran of the NBA, having played for Golden State, Chicago and Brooklyn with career averages of 7.6 points, 1.9 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game. He spent the 2012-13 season with Brooklyn and averaged 6.8 points, 1.8 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 80 games.
Undrafted out of the University of Tennessee, Watson played briefly in Europe before returning to the United States and playing in the NBA Developmental League with the Rio Grande Valley Vipers, where he averaged 26.4 points, 5.3 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 1.38 steals over 16 games in the 2007-08 season. He signed with the Golden State Warriors on Jan. 8, 2008.
Also in Pacers news, Tyler Hansbrough has agreed to a two-year contract with the Toronto Raptors.
The Pacers drafted Hansbrough in the first round in 2009 out of North Carolina. He became an unrestricted free agent after the team consented to relent on his restricted status as a free agent. Hansbrough averaged seven points and four rebounds in 81 games last season coming off the bench.
Undrafted IU player Christian Watford was among those free agents at Pacers camp last week hoping to stand out in the crowd.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. – The Illinois Emergency Management Agency is fighting back against a denial of federal funds for tornado damaged towns.
IEMA announced Thursday that it has appealed FEMA's denial of the state's request for federal assistance that would help communities in nine counties, including Tazewell and Woodford, that were damaged by the deadly November 17 tornado outbreak.
"Federal assistance is critical for towns like Washington, Brookport and Gifford to clear debris that threatens public safety and rebuild their communities," said IEMA Director Jonathon Monken.
The appeal includes more than $21.4 million in disaster-related expenses. If approved, FEMA would reimburse cities for 75-percent of eligible costs such as overtime, debris removal and repair/replacement of damaged public property.

The San Jose Sharks have been to the Conference Finals three times in their existence but have never made it to the Finals. The Vancouver Canucks last made it to the Conference Finals in 1994, the last time they went to the Finals as well. Something has to give as the Sharks and Canucks face off in the first game of their seven game series on Sunday night.
The Canucks and Sharks come into this series as the No. 1 and No. 2 seeds in the Western Conference. In the four games that the faced off in during the regular season, the Canucks won three out of four, with the final two games having to be decided by a shootout. To say that these teams are matched tightly is an understatement.
The Sharks are the offensive team in this series based on playoff performances. The Sharks are averaging 2.92 goals/game which is right in line with their regular season output of 2.96 goals/game. The Canucks, on the other hand, are only averaging 2.31 goals/game, 0.80 goals/game less than their offensive output in the regular season and good for 14th of 16 playoff teams in that category. Much of that can be attributed to the power outage that the Sedin twins have shown in the playoffs this year. Daniel Sedin does have 10 points in 13 games but Henrik has only managed 9 points in those 13 games, eight of them coming as assists. The scoring of these guys are mainly attributed to each other, so if either twin starts scoring more, both players will experience a bump in points.
The Sharks offense has been spread out: both Logan Couture and Devin Setoguchi have six goals in the playoffs and 14 players have scored at least one goal in the playoffs. The Sharks are just looking to overcome last season's disappointment in the Conference Finals, when they were swept by the Chicago Blackhawks on their way to winning the Stanley Cup. Sharks forward Ben Eager was a part of the Stanley Cup winning Blackhawks last season and had this to say about the Sharks chances heading into this series:
"We learned so much from them," Eager said. "You learn how much it takes in the playoffs and how the real battle begins in the last two rounds. Losing to us last year probably showed this team how much they have to give, and that's why everyone in this room is very confident. They understand."
The Canucks have been the favorites for winning the Stanley Cup this season and have had some challenges along the way to get to the Conference Finals. Their first round matchup saw them having to win in Game 7 against the Chicago Blackhawks as Chicago came back from a 3-0 deficit. Ryan Kesler has become the offensive powerhouse for the Canucks in this playoff race. Kesler found his scoring in the last few games, scoring all five of his goals in the last four games. Kesler also leads the Canucks with 15 points in these playoffs. Vancouver's Chris Higgins had this to say about the Sharks matching up against Kesler and the Sedin twins:
"I don't think they're taking any focus off those guys," he said. "They could be back to back Hart Trophy winners. Kes[ler] is obviously playing some pretty good hockey and it's tough to match up against the two lines that we have. But they're a good team and they're going to play hard.
Game 1 of Sharks-Canucks begins at 8:00 pm and can be found on Versus in the United States and CBC in Canada.
For more information on this game please check out our San Jose Sharks site, Fear The Fin, and our Canucks site, Nucks Misconduct.

options = mpcmoveopt creates an mpcmoveopt object, with default values for its properties. Use this object with mpcmove to allow run-time adjustment of the weights and constraints of the Model Predictive Controller, an mpc object, that is operating.
Options for the mpcmove command with the following fields:
Use an mpcmoveopt object to vary an MV upper bound during a simulation employing mpcmove. The upper bound decreases step-wise from 2 to 1 when elapsed time exceeds 4 seconds. Also, setting OnlyComputeCost = 1 causes the Info object returned by mpcmove to contain the cost only.
Define an mpcmoveopt object and initialize some of its fields.
OPTobj = mpcmoveopt; OPTobj.OnlyComputeCost = true; OPTobj.MVMin = -2;
Define a plant model and a model predictive controller object.
ts = 2; Plant = ss(0.8, 0.5, 0.25, 0, ts); MPCobj = mpc(Plant, ts); MPCobj.MV(1).Min = -2; MPCobj.MV(1).Max = 2;
Perform mpcmove simulation.
x = mpcstate(MPCobj); r = 1; v = []; t = [0:ts:10]; N = length(t); y = zeros(N,1); u = zeros(N,1); for i = 1:N y(i) = 0.25*x.Plant; % Use the MPCMOVEOPT object to modify the MV upper bound in % real time. if t(i) <= 4 OPTobj.MVMax = 2; else OPTobj.MVMax = 1; end [u(i), Info] = mpcmove(MPCobj, x, y(i), r, v, OPTobj); end
Analyze the results.
[ts, us] = stairs(t, u); plot(ts, us,'b-', t, y,'r--') legend('Reference','Output');
When you use mpcmove, an mpcmoveopt object is optional. As an alternative, you can modify the weight, constraint definitions, or both before calling mpcmove. This approach is usually less computationally efficient, but it avoids potential conflicts with constraint definitions when mixed bounded and unbounded variables are present.
The number of manipulated variables (nu) and output variables (ny) for the mpcmoveopt object must match that of the corresponding mpc object.
If any weight property in options is set to [] (default), mpcmove uses the corresponding weight specified in the mpc object.
In general, constraint specifications of options must be consistent with those of the corresponding mpc object.
If all of the four constraint properties of options are set to [] (default), mpcmove uses the existing constraints specified for the corresponding mpc object. The result will be the same as if there are no run-time constraint changes.
Constraints set to [] are treated as unbounded signals. The corresponding constraint settings for the mpc object must also be unbounded.
Constraints not set to [] are treated as bounded signals. The corresponding constraint settings for the mpc object must also be bounded.
These requirements make the Model Predictive Controller object behave consistently with the corresponding MPC Controller block in Simulink®
A conflict may arise when you have a mixture of bounded and unbounded variables for one or more constraint properties of options. It may be resolved by defining compatible constraints for the mpc object and corresponding mpcmoveopt object.
For example, suppose ny = 2, and your mpc object defines a maximum for the first output variable but the second has no upper bound. If,
options.OutputMax = [], then mpcmove interprets this as an attempt to remove the upper bound on the first output.
options.OutputMax is not [], then, because all entries must be finite, mpcmove interprets this as an attempt to impose a new upper bound on the second output.
To avoid this conflict, modify your mpc object to have a large but finite upper bound on the second output. It can then be paired with options, containing finite OutputMax values, without conflict.

Free agent linebacker Will Herring has agreed to a three-year contract with the New Orleans Saints, according to his agent George Mavrikes. Terms of the deal have yet to be revealed.
Herring comes from the Seattle Seahawks after a four-year stint there. He played as a reserve for the Seahawks, but he will compete for a starting spot at outside linebacker for the Saints.
He was reportedly also pursued by the Chicago Bears, the Tennessee Titans and the Seahawks, but presumably the Saints were the only team that could promise him a chance at becoming a starter.
Wilson was a fifth-round draft pick out of Auburn in 2007 after converting to linebacker his senior season. Now he's back in his old stomping grounds in the South.
