Nobel and Pulitzer Prize-winning author Toni Morrison (Beloved, Home, A Mercy) will publish her 11th novel, God Help the Child, in late April 2015 with Knopf. The novel focuses on the painful relationship between Sweetness and her daughter, Bride. Sweetness, a light-skinned black woman, pushes her daughter away because of her deep black skin. Yet, despite Sweetness' refusal to accept her, the resilient, confident Bride thrives.
No doubt, Morrison will stay true to the themes of femininity and race that she has so beautifully and masterfully handled in past novels. Are you looking forward to the latest from this literary giant?
Thanksgiving is almost here, and although the turkey gets most of the credit, the side dishes deserve just as much attention. Luckily, Southern chef Sean Brock is sharing his simple, yet rich and flavorful recipe for Creamed Corn. Check out our review of his new cookbook Heritage—our Top Pick for November!
Creamed Corn
Serves 4
My grandmother made creamed corn the old-fashioned way: strip the kernels from the cobs, scrape all the milk from the cobs using an old box grater, add a little salt, and then process in Mason jars in a canner. These preserves would be saved for special occasions, like Thanksgiving dinner. At Husk, I gussy up the recipe a little with a bit more cream and butter. You can also serve this as a soup by adding a little milk to thin it out. Either fresh or preserved under glass, nothing says summer like sweet corn from the garden, even when you're eating it in the dead of winter.
1. Cut the kernels from the corn; set aside. Using a box grater, scrape the "milk" from the cobs into a wide bowl; set aside.
2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add half of the corn kernels, the shallots and garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until the shallots and garlic have softened considerably, about 7 minutes. Add the cream, bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching, until thickened, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat.
3. Working in batches if necessary, transfer the corn mixture to a blender and blend on high until completely smooth, about 5 minutes. Strain through a fine sieve into a saucepan.
4. Add the remaining corn kernels, the reserved "milk" from the cobs, the thyme and butter to the pan, bring to a simmer over medium heat and simmer until the creamed corn has thickened and the whole kernels are soft, about 10 minutes. Remove the thyme, season with salt and white pepper and serve.
The creamed corn can be made up to 2 hours ahead and held at room temperature; gently reheat over low heat. Leftovers will keep, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

That's the setup for Marisa de los Santos' new novel, The Precious One, coming from Morrow on March 24. De los Santos is an insightful writer when it comes to releationships, and the estranged father/stepsister one should provide plenty of drama. Willl you look for it in March?
The Cinderella Murder by Mary Higgins Clark and Alafair Burke

Talk about a killer collaboration! MWA Grand Master Mary Higgins Clark and best-selling author Alafair Burke have teamed up for the brand new Under Suspicion series, starring characters from Clark's I've Got You Under My Skin.
The series centers on "Under Suspicion," a cold case reality TV show. With the help of lawyer and "Under Suspicion" host Alex Buckley, TV producer Laurie Moran takes on the 20-year-old "Cinderella Murder." The body of UCLA theater student Susan Dempsey was found in L.A.'s Lauren Canyon Park, after she missed her father's birthday party to audition for a movie. The Buckley-Moran slething duo is in hot pursuit of some new evidence, and their adventures together will surely satisfy Clark fans.
Rosemary Dempsey was Laurie's reason for moving The Cinderella Murder to the top of her list for the show's next installment.
The network had been pressuring here to feature a case from the Midwest: the unsolved murder of a child beauty pageant contestant inside her family's home. The case had already been the subject of countless books and television shows over the past two decades. Laurie kept telling her boss, Brett Young, that there was nothing new for Under Suspicion to add.
"Who cares?" Brett had argued. "Every time we have an excuse to play those adorable pageant videos, our ratings skyrocket."
Laurie was not about the exploit the death of a child to bolster her network's ratings. Starting her research from scratch, she stumbled onto a true-crime blog featuring a "where are they now?" post about the Cinderella case. The blogger appeared to have simply Googled the various people involved in the case: Susan's boyfriend was a working actor, her research partner had gone on to find dot-com success, Frank Parker was... Frank Parker.
The blog post quoted only one source: Rosemary Dempsey, whose phone number was still listed, "just in case anyone ever needs to tell me something about my daughter's death." Rosemary told the blogger that she was willing to do anything to find out the truth about her daughter's murder. She also said that she was convinced that the stress caused by Susan's death contributed to her husband's stroke.
The overall tone of the blog post, filled with tawdry innuendo, left Laurie feeling sick. The author hinted, with no factual support, that Susan's desire to be a star might have made her willing to do anything to land a plumb role with an emerging talent like Parker. She speculated, again with no proof, that a consensual liason may have "gone wrong."
What are you reading today?
"The question that will burn in a reader's mind when she finishes Some Luck, Jane Smiley's marvelous new novel, is: How long do I have to wait to read the second volume in The Last Hundred Years trilogy?" So began our October interview with Smiley. Well, now we have the answer: Knopf plans to publish Early Warning on May 5, 2015.
No details about the book have been released, but it seems a safe assumption that it will cover the next 33 years of the lives of the Langdon family, bringing them from 1953 up through 1986.
Definitely looking forward to this one—how about you?

Scholastic will publish Brian Selznick's next novel on September 15, 2015. In the vein of his Caldecott Medal-winning The Invention of Hugo Cabret (which was adapted into Martin Scorsese's Academy Award–winning movie Hugo, one of the only movies I've ever enjoyed watching in 3D) and Wonderstruck, The Marvels combines two seemingly unrelated stories—one told in words, the other in pictures.
A preview from the publisher:
The illustrated story begins in 1766 with Billy Marvel, the lone survivor of a shipwreck, and charts the adventures of his family of actors over five generations. The prose story opens in 1990 and follows Joseph, who has run away from school to an estranged uncle's puzzling house in London, where he, along with the reader, must piece together many mysteries. How the picture and word stories intersect will leave readers marveling over Selznick's storytelling skill.

IPCC tethering trick no longer works in iPhone OS 3.1 beta 2
Torqued over the lack of tethering support from AT&T? Taken matters into your own hands? TUAW has learned that, with the release of iPhone OS 3.1 beta 2, tethering via the IPCC hack no longer works for AT&T customers.
While iPhone OS 3.0 provides support for tethering, AT&T has yet to officially support it. As a workaround to obtain tethering (as well as MMS for some), some users have modified their carrier files (IPCC). As of 3.1 beta 2, this no longer works.
It's not that surprising that Apple would want close this loophole... but it is a little surprising that AT&T has yet to announce a firm date or rate plan for US customers to tether their iPhones.
[It should go without saying, but if you enable tethering on your 3.0 iPhone, you do so at your own risk; AT&T may slam you with a data overage bill or worse.]

Best Acoustic Music Bands/Artists
You can click on the acoustic music band names to see more information about that particular notable acoustic music group. If they're near the top of the best acoustic music artist list, though, then they should have at least some information available. All the top acoustic music bands named on the list also have discographies on their pages if you click on the acoustic music band names themselves.
List is made up of a variety of items, including Dave Matthews Band and John Mayer. Upvote your favorite items to see them rise to the top of the list. Downvote the ones you don't like for the opposite effect. Is Jack Black better than Richard Thompson?
All important, significant and iconic names in acoustic music music history deserve your votes, so make sure to choose wisely. You can only vote once on this list.
The list includes all new acoustic music bands, and if there are any missing on the list, you can always add them yourself. Just make sure they aren't already on the list and check your spelling, because this is already an accurate compilation of the best examples of acoustic music, as well as a good place to start if you're asking yourself, or friends, exactly how to get into acoustic music music. Especially since the bands at the top of the list will at the very least be the best choices if you're looking for a list of good acoustic music bands with which to start out. No point in listening to them if they aren't actually good or even half-way decent acoustic music bands.
This list answers the questions "who are the best acoustic music bands of all time?" and "who is the greatest acoustic music musician ever?"
If you know enough about the genre, please vote based on the quality of the band's music instead of just voting for the most popular acoustic music bands that you might've heard of, but not really listened to closely enough to cast an informed vote.

Hello Russell
I know this is about five years after you posted your question - but better late than never.
I live in Wednesbury with my husband and daughter. We moved into this house (a rather old one) 11 years ago. Two nights ago the previous owner turned up with some original documentation concerning the sale of this house/land in 1858. The property at that time belonged to a James Batch. Do you know anything about him? Is he one of yours??

I don't agree with you that everyone on this forum thinks the only decent 911 is a GT3 or turbo, its just the difference in performance isn't all that great until you get into a GT3 or Turbo for a 997.1 or .2, especially for the amount of money you spend.
My 07 997S
I hear what ur saying but jumping into a 991 may not make a lot of sense for several reasons, the biggest being $$$. The driving experience isn't as intimate as its predecessor and te entire car just feels bigger and less connected to the driver. It actually feels more like our m3's which may be a good thing but you lose the small sporty feel you get with the 997. I also prefer hydraulic steering over the electric system in the new car. Don't get me wrong the new car is beautiful inside and out but it just doesn't thrill or excite the same way my 997 does. I had the chance to buy a 997.1 turbo but I did not like all wheel drive or the turbo charged motor. I preferred a proper na aspirated engine rear wheel drive set up in the standard car. It's still plenty fast and can easily run side by side with cars that have 450 to 500hp. I've driven the gt3 and the gt3rs which is by far the best car I've ever driven. I dreamt about it for weeks after I drove and was set on buying one. But I came to my senses, realizing that I live in la and I'd be a complete moron to drive one out here. I'm quite content with my Porsche. If I had to give up one, it would definately be the m3 but it wouldn't be easy to let it go. I really love that car too.

No X Server 1.6 Release In Sight
Published on 05 January 2009 08:35 AM EST
Written by
Michael Larabel
18 Comments
During the last
X Developers' Summit
that took place at the
Edinburgh Zoo
Keith Packard
called for
X Server 1.6
to be
released by the end of 2008
. Once
the release schedule was set
though, the final ship date for X Server 1.6.0 was the 5th of January. Well, today's the day and there is no release.
The X.Org development community was relatively on time with their
Beta 1
Beta 2
, and
Beta 3
releases, but all work has virtually seized since that point. The first release candidate was
supposed to be out before Christmas
but that never happened and we have yet to see any release candidate even weeks later.
Nothing has been committed to the
of the X Server Git repository since the 16th of December. The
X Server 1.6 tracking bug
has ten open bugs (of 17 total).
The sad reality though is that this setback shouldn't be surprising considering the numerous delays that have plagued the X.Org camp in recent times.
X Server 1.4.1
, which was a bug-fix update for
X.Org 7.3
, was
released 212 days late
. Most recently,
X.Org 7.4
X Server 1.5
was released months late. The list of other delays and problems continues on.
The X.Org developers are stretched very thin, but recently they have had the added burden of handling some invasive changes such as the
Graphics Execution Manager
for providing GPU memory management within the kernel, several revisions of
, drivers turning to
kernel mode-setting
, and other radical work.
X.Org 7.5
was talked about for an
April 1st release
but nothing has yet amounted when it comes to even a release schedule and planning.
When the release of X Server 1.6 does occur, which we hope is just weeks away, it will introduce
RandR 1.3
X Input 1.5 with device properties
Predictable Pointer Acceleration
, and
Direct Rendering Infrastructure 2

Provincetown / Wellfleet Recommendations for Groups?
Does anybody have any recommendations for good places around Ptown for a group of 25 for a May event? Looking for something with a great overall experience - food, setting, service, etc. and cost an issue.
Although I haven't been there in a few years, I would go back to Finely JP's in Wellfleet (http://www.capecodchefs.com/clients/F...) and Napi's in Ptown (http://www.napis-restaurant.com/). You'd want to check in advance on how they handle groups.
Agree about Napi's... they are open year round. Try also Fanizzi's in PTown, at the beginning of Commercial Street. It is right on the water with terrific staff, delightful views of the bay, and reasonable prices.
Winslow's Tavern in the center of Wellfleet opens in early May. I believe they can handle larger groups.
The Mews in PTown. Maybe a bit pricey, but the setting (overlooks the water) atmosphere and food are great! They have a more casual pub-like upstairs and a fancier downstairs, which could probably be set aside for a group. Also,The Wicked Oyster in Wellfleet has a large dining room which could accommodate a group of 25, and the food there is also quite good.
Our annual crew loves Finely JPs-however a group of 25 might be tough.Even though they remodeled last year they did not add many tables.
The Lobster Pot should do it. I've always had solid food there. While generally not worth the crazy wait you'll find in the summer, they (used to, at least) take reservations for big parties. Ask to be seated upstairs - the view is better from there.

New owners see Coyotes thriving in Phoenix
Published August 12, 2013, Page 5
LeBlanc, fellow Canadian businessman George Gosbee and nine partners completed their acquisition of the Phoenix Coyotes from the NHL last week. The consortium, operating as IceArizona/Renaissance Sports and Entertainment, purchased the team for $170 million. The ownership group also signed a 15-year agreement with the city of Glendale to keep the Coyotes in Jobing.com Arena, but it has an out clause after five years if the team loses a cumulative $50 million.
|NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman (center) welcomes the Coyotes' new owners George Gosbee (left) and Anthony LeBlanc.
"Nobody questions the viability of hockey in other nontraditional markets like San Jose or Dallas," said LeBlanc, who will become the Coyotes' CEO pending visa paperwork. "But it's our view that the Phoenix market is a better potential market. Those cities also don't have the influx of Canadians in the winters that we can reach."
The NHL similarly is convinced that bright days are ahead.
"We've always believed that the Coyotes are well-positioned for success both on and off the ice," said NHL Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly. "All they really needed was permanent, stable and committed ownership, and they have that now in the Renaissance group. The new ownership has energy, creativity and skill."
Speaking last Thursday, LeBlanc lent some insight into his focus and some of the most-pressing items on his to-do list:
■ Local TV deal: The Coyotes' deal with Fox Sports Arizona has been a year-to-year agreement during the NHL's ownership of the team. Renaissance hopes to make a short-term deal with the network but knows there isn't a lot of time. "Our purchase of the team only got done about six weeks before our first preseason game," LeBlanc said. "It's imperative that we're ready to go on television for the start of the season. We haven't even sat down with Fox Sports Arizona yet, but we're hoping to get together very soon."
■ Concessions contract: The Coyotes' bankruptcy filing voided its agreement with Aramark, so the club can explore options for a concessionaire. "We started conversations with Aramark and other organizations [last week]," LeBlanc said. "We hope to put out a formal RFP soon. But because of the bankruptcy, we have the ability to explore options. That's something else that needs to get done in about a month."
■ Sponsorships and suites: LeBlanc said his group's confidence in the market stems, in part, from the Coyotes' strong sponsorship sales about seven years ago — before the club went into bankruptcy and the economy plummeted. "The team used to do quite well in corporate sales," he said. "But this region was decimated by the recession and, as you can understand, local businesses were not lining up to get behind a hockey team with such an uncertain future. Now, the economic rebound has been strong in the region, and we're already starting to hear from prospective sponsors who are happy the Coyotes are now here to stay."
■ Staffing: At their introductory press conference, LeBlanc and Gosbee (who will be the club's chairman and governor) were complimentary of the Coyotes' current management. "We will be doing some hiring," LeBlanc said, "but it won't be about replacing people; it will be about adding people."

The Problem Of Elder Financial Abuse
Estate planning attorneys for the most part engage in every aspect of elder law, and one of the issues that is raising a lot of eyebrows is that of elder financial abuse. They say that all statistics lie, and any time you try to gather data that involves some potentially embarrassing admissions the numbers are likely to be understated. But to give you a general idea about just how significant this problem is, a 2009 MetLife Mature Market Institute study estimated annual losses due to elder financial abuse at some $ 2.6 billion a year.
To put this issue under the microscope you have to get into some sensitive territory, and the rabbit hole runs deep. But to scratch the surface it is useful to point out the fact that the majority of instances of elder financial abuse are perpetrated by a member of the victim's family. This is hard to swallow, but a fact nonetheless. Short of this, caregivers and other people who are known to the victim are also common culprits, and there is no way of candy coating the challenge here: who can you trust?
Elders are also abused financially by people and entities that they do not know. Offers of various sorts can be made to them over the phone, in person at their doors, or over the Internet. The appeal of these offers can vary, and it must be said that some victims get themselves into trouble through their own desire to make easy money that they really don't need.
In addition, many seniors fall victim to the epidemic of identity theft. Identity thieves target people of all ages, but seniors are especially appealing because they usually have very good credit, and many seniors own their homes outright making mortgage scams possible.
Elder financial abuse is something that everyone should be aware of and take very seriously. But the fact is that the vast majority of family members would never do anything to harm their elder relatives. People you don't know who are proactively soliciting you are something else entirely. Stay vigilant, keep a tight hold on your purse strings, and discuss the matter of elder financial abuse with your attorney the next time you review your estate plan.

The role of a New Jersey Wills Lawyer
It is the duties of every individual to execute a will of all his or her effects, so that the inhabitants of the property after the holder's demise (particularly the children) do not bicker over the issue. Some bring claims in court, only enhancing the tension between the families. It is therefore desirable that every person executes a living will, and declares all about their assets, and the way they should be handled. A person doing so in New Jersey must choose a responsible New Jersey will drafting lawyer who can draft the will and also suggest the legal boundaries in which it will be executed. In the event of the person executing the will falling sick, the will would have details regarding whatshould be provided for his medical expenses, which otherwise have a serious effect on the family, which has to bear the medical expenses in case he is not covered under any insurance and the illness requires prolonged treatment. The New Jersey wills lawyer chosen will then execute the will under the governing laws.The state of New Jersey maintains that the will must be witnessed by two other people who will confirm that the person executing the will is in sound condition and is not executing the will under any coercion. The will is then further attested to by any person who can administer oaths in New Jersey.
There are occasions when the will executed in New Jersey is to be contested. To contest a will one needs to consult a specialist in wills, and select one of the many suitable New Jersey will contest attorneys. The attorney will mull over all the details that are being reflected in the will, and contest his findings in a court of law. The New Jersey will contest attorneys will justify the client's claim that he was not given his fair share in the estate of the deceased, and put forth all the facts before the court. The executor will approach a probate lawyer to contest the claim and a seasoned attorney must be able to justify the claims in the favor of his client.
In order to avoid the fallout of the relatives due to their claims, it becomes the duty of executor to seek the counsel of a probate lawyer to simplify the process of will execution and broker a solution that is amicable to all of those involved.
HnLawFirm are New Jersey based lawyers. Contact a New Jersey will drafting lawyer for all cases regarding the drafting of the will. In case the will is contested contact our New Jersey will contest attorneys .

US Bankruptcy Laws
They are entitled o payment forthwith. They have an unassailable right to be paid out of the assets of the debtors. From the scenario, many of the original settlers in Texas were debtors fleeing from creditors in other states because Texas bankruptcy laws generously protect a debtor's "homestead" from being seized by creditors. In order to discuss about these facts The Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005, the changes in the bankruptcy code, debtors and creditors right has to consider here.
The Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005, provides few facilities that limiting state homestead exemptions to $ 125,000 in equity for homesteads owned for three years and four months that is less than 1,215 days. To do that they has to face two objective tests. A means test and median income test determine chapter 7 cases to protect fraud. By applying these tests court decides period of time to reduction of debts. If bankrupt income more then the test applies then he has to pay compensation for perpetrated fraud.
Debtors can protect their asset by investing them in a housestead. Debtors get opportunity to hide from creditors. However, may be congress considering policy grounds to introduce this law. May be the Texas homestead exemption Act tried to give protection for the wife and children. It is very common for a wife with young children to be faced with eviction in circumstance where the realization of her beneficial interest will not produce enough to buy a comparable home in the same neighborhood, or indeed elsewhere. And if she has to move elsewhere, there may be problems over schooling and so forth. Such circumstance engendering natural sympathy, may be they considering these issues before passing the law. Therefore, Texas homestead exemption Act, provides exemption taxes, several Code provide insurance facilities, current wages.
In addition, when a settler began bankrupt, family members may claim for beneficial interest in the homestead under a resulting or constructive trust. If wife has made a direct contribution to the purchase price, three possibilities exist. The money could have been intended as a gift, loan, and beneficial interest in the homestead to bankrupt. May be wife has indirect contributions to purchase of the homestead. For a constructive trust to arise three conditions must be satisfied. However, court follow the new rule but there has few loopholes.
The law of mortgages has particularly concerned itself with the need to protect the mortgagor from harsh and unconscionable transaction. Equity has always stressed the security aspect of the transaction and has developed rules to protect the mortgagor equity of redemption. May be court considering these issues that in equity mortgagor's has right to redemption on date, if it not possible for him proper notice must serve.
Some of those around the table, advocate the Texas homestead exemption, and argue that provide a debtor to make a fresh start. To impose these Credit Counseling Agencies resolve the financial problem of debtors to avoid bankruptcy. Theoretically, it can be said that it is really a fresh start but practically here is a great chance to commit fraud to invest for homestead and file for bankrupt. Creditors may suffer several problems to bind by these acts. To avoid these kinds of problem it should need to be amended. In case of spouse, it should in exceptional cases.

Where There Are Wills There Are Ways
Contemplation of the division of your worldly goods and possessions after your death might not be the most exciting or inspiring thing you have ever turned your attention to. Even if you consider yourself to be the average man or woman on the street, rather than of mega rich status, you probably understand that it is important for you to make a will, rather than run the risk of dying intestate. All that is required is a simple and common sense approach to will writing. Think of it as a safety net you are providing to your closest family members and friends, should you die before they do.
It is not suggested that wills are fun, yet the key thing about wills is that they equate to ways. You might assume that the pecking order for the division of your estate is pretty much cut and dried without bothering to Make a will. Your assumption could be incorrect and result in much unnecessary expense, dispute and pain for those you leave behind if you fail to clearly outline your wishes.
Without doom mongering, you are probably not expecting to drop dead tomorrow, and heaven forbid that you might. Whenever your time on earth might be up, failure to make a will means that you relinquish your say about the allocation of your estate, and hand over the responsibility to the Courts. What you might take as read, the law that governs English and Welsh courts might strongly disagree with. The very quintessence of Wills is to ensure that the instructions of the deceased are clarified and adhered to.
For example, if you cohabit with a partner who is not your legal spouse or civil partner, neglecting to make a will seriously compromises their claims on your estate if you die before they do, regardless of the longevity of your relationship. It is far from unheard of for distant biological relatives to rank above long standing life partners in chains of entitlement when individuals have died without wills.
Undoubtedly the quickest and most cost effective way to undertake will writing is to Make a will online. You know you need to, both for your own peace of mind, and for the peace of mind of those you love. Make A Will Online offers premium online will writing services from £29.50 per will. Online will writing is efficient, fast and wills made via its site are equally as official as those made at a Solicitor's office. Make the move to make a will. You never know when it might be too late.

Legal Advice about Wills and Probate
Wills and probate is difficult and confusing area of law that most people do not really understand. It is important to remember that this very morbid topic of law is in place to allow individuals to create a Will that protects your property and family, it will ensure that all your estate goes to who you want it too in the event of your death.
Probate provides all the provisions that are needed for the administration of a Will. Wills and probate can be quite complex and difficult areas to deal with without the proper legal advice. This article aims to explore both Wills and probate in detail and explain the facts about where and how legal advice could be beneficial.
Legal advice tends to be required in the process of creating a Will as it can be quite a problematic process depending on your situation. You can create your Will on your own using a DIY Will kit and this will save you a lot of money. However, creating a Will on your own can be a difficult task and there are many things to consider and many areas to cover that can be very costly if missed. The disadvantages outweigh the advantages when it comes to making your own Will. You should always use a specialist probate solicitor who will be able to ensures that no area is missed, all relevant legal procedures are in correctly in place and the right kind of Will is used. Here are some of the different kinds of Wills you can create:
• Discretionary trust Wills
• Flexible interest trust Wills
• Living Will
• Lasting power of attorney
• Property trust Wills
• Single and Mirror Wills
There a two main reasons for creating a Will, the first is so you can decide who you want to receive what parts of your estate, and secondly who should be given responsibility of any children you may have that are under the age of 18 if both parents die. If a Will is not created the estate of an individual tends to be distributed as the law sees fit. They may not include those you would have wished to receive something from you after your death, which is why it is essential to ensure that all parts of your estate are covered in your Will. The best way to achieve this is to seek the legal advice of a solicitor, as they often think of areas that could be missed when making your own Will.
You should always seek advice from a solicitor for the administration of a Will. When a person dies their wishes in their Will need to be processed and administered. The majority of people mention someone close to them as the administrator of their Will, this person will need to hand out all relevant parts of the estate and sort out any outstanding debts. Administration of an estate can obviously be a very difficult task for those who are still in the mourning process. If the chosen administrator does not feel up to the task due to the emotional difficulties then the law will provide an alternative administrator who will carries out proceedings.
However not all estate administration is an easy process, it can sometimes become problematic if there are disputes over the estate administration and legal advice may be required to settle it. There are often frequent disputes about a variety of reasons, such as; who is entitled to what parts of the estate, who is entitled to inherit certain assets and whether the administration process has been carried out in the correct manner. When a claim is made against an estate, more often than not legal advice and solicitors will be needed to sort out the disputes legally and efficiently.
Wills and probate can be a bit of a gloomy subject, but they are an essential and important part of the law that must always need to be considered by any individual who wishes their assets and estate to be distributed between family, their children protected and their wishes administered. To ensure all this goes smoothly in the Wills and probate process, legal advice is highly advisable.

Before one doubts the variation of Arizona's bankruptcy process, here are two examples:
• Submission of one's petition in accordance with the federal bankruptcy law can only be filed in the local Arizona bankruptcy court.
• In order to qualify for bankruptcy, income data will be used. But data specific for Arizona will be the only thing one can use as a resident of this state.
As bankruptcy processes in Arizona can be different, here is a list of things you need to remember:
• Filing for a bankruptcy in Arizona requires the timeline and process to follow federal procedures.
• A petition can only be submitted once a credit counseling course is attended.
• After completing the petition, the appropriate filing fee must be paid. Then, everything will be ready to be submitted to the proper Arizona court.
• After a month, appearance before your bankruptcy trustee is required to review your petition. This is what they call as the "Section 341 Meeting". This meeting can also be attended by creditors.
• A discharge of 60 days will then be granted if there are no objections present during the Section 341 meeting.
• People filing for a Chapter 13 bankruptcy case must not fail to forget that a payment plan must be submitted for court approval.
This the process one must face whenever the decision to file for an Arizona bankruptcy is present. In this case, it may be an important reminder for everyone to know that Arizona only has one bankruptcy district. But Phoenix, Prescott, and Yuma have separate courthouses. In order to know where to file your Arizona Bankruptcy, check the district's bankruptcy website.

Wills – Where Should I Store My Will?
It is advisable to let your executors know where they can find your Will in the event of your death so that they can carry out your last wishes. Once you have signed your Will, had it witnessed and dated, it is a valid Will and is legally binding. However, there is no law requiring that Wills must be registered before your death. It is entirely up to you to find somewhere safe to put your Will and then notify your executors of its whereabouts.
The main thing to remember about storing your Will is to keep it somewhere that is safe. If you have had your Will prepared by a solicitor, the original Will is usually to be kept in the solicitors store room, which is free of charge and you will be entitled to a copy if you want one. If your Will is kept in a bank deposit box, you will have to pay an annual fee but remember to notify your executor of the bank that you have chosen to hold your Will. Another place to keep your Will is in a safe at your home, but make sure that the whereabouts of the key or combination is known to someone else or your executors may have to employ someone to break into the safe before they can apply for probate.
The majority of people lodge their Wills for safekeeping with their banks but they will be charged for the service and it could take some time to obtain the release of the Will following the death of the testator. If it is decided to keep the Will at home, then wherever you keep your other important documents such as marriage and birth certificates, saving certificates, title deeds of the house etc. It is wise to put the Will in an envelope and seal it up writing your name on the outside and title it as your Will, also put the date. No other formalities are required but remember losing things in a home is easily done so make sure you remember exactly where it is.

Source confirms that the Jets have agreed to terms on a 2-year deal with DL Jason Babin (as @KimJonesSports said). #nyj
Jason Babin, 34, led the Jaguars with 7.5 sacks last year. With Eagles prior to that. Should provide depth and aid Jets pass rush. #nyj

Good signing for depth, and you know Rex can squeeze every last bit of juice from these guys.
Rex got something out of 50-year-olds Trevor Pryce/Jason Taylor & Aaron freakin Maybin... gonna be sweet to see what he'll do with Babin.

Babin had his biggest success in the "Wide 9" in Tennessee and Philly. I would bet Rex will throw it in on 3rd downs.

"Will definitely stay again!"
We opted for the Royal Club room. Greeted upon arrival, smooth check in, welcome drink. Room was excellent, very clean, generous mini bar (no alcohol though), very very comfy bed, big shower, perfect. Cocktails, food and service at Club Room were exceptional!!! Breakfast buffet at Carousel restaurant downstairs was ridiculously amazing, freshly made whatever u want in it noodles station and egg station, from porridge to salads to curry to croissants. Concierge was very helpful with tips on getting around. Upon leaving they were very helpful and so many staff double checked with us that we have our passport and travel documents. LOVE this hotel!! Close to everything and definitely get your money's worth!!!
"Royal Plaza on Scott's Road, SINGAPORE."
We travelled in September 2014 and stayed at Royal Plaza on Scott's Road. This was our first stay at this hotel and won't be our last. We travel to Singapore regularly and have normally stayed out of the central shopping district. But we found this Hotel to be conveniently located to our needs and shopping. The staff were the most helpful and courteous we have encountered in our travels for many years. On our first afternoon our luggage was brought to our room by David. He was was of great assistance telling us of what the current highlights were in Singapore such as the Light and Music show at Gardens on the Bay. He was easy to understand when we asked any questions. David always took an interest in our day and what we had done whenever we saw him. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at this Hotel and another plus was the Food Republic eating markets was just next door. It is centrally located to eating stalls, shops and MRT. Easy access to everything. We travelled from Singapore by coach to Kuala Lumpur, another first.
"Good for business"
Really a good stay for business in S'Pore. Facilities are good in the room (including mini bar free) and in the hotel with lounge and area for business meetings. Located in te shopping area of the city and close to metro to reach others sites of interest (e.g. Marina Bay etc.)
"great hotel"
We stayed in this hotel for 3 nights. The size of the rooms is pretty good compared to other Singapore hotels. There's free wifi and mini bar which they replenish daily. The staffs were also courteous and always willing to help.
"Excellent service staff in a great environment"
Have stayed at the Royal for 5 days, the service staff never fail to amaze me with their smile and services. Room is clean and neat, great idea of having the bar thrown in for free. Great locality, near to all the shopping and offices in downtown. Would definitely be back during my business meetings in Singapore.
"Very nice hotel, excellent friendly staff"
A beautiful entry and friendly staff great you on arrival. The room was very generous in size and provided all the required amenities, plus a Nespresso machine. Passed my shower test with flying colours, excellent temperature, pressure and volume (no need to run around to get wet).
I would ask 1. Consider a soft pillow option (big hard pillows felt like trying to sleep with your head on a tree stump) 2. Add an additional towel rail..
"A benchmark for similarly graded hotels"
The courteous and smiling staff were accommodating from the moment we arrived. A lot of consideration had been given to the wants and needs of the weary traveller. The executive floor proved to be excellent value for money with the free minibar in the room and cocktails plus tiffin in the lounge. Nothing was too much trouble and we will definitely be returning.
"Great service great location"
We've stayed several times in this hotel and never disappointed. Service excellent. Got an upgrade again this time and was very good of hotel to do this. Breakfast at the Carousel was great as usual. Free wifi brilliant. Daily free replenishment of bar fridge most convenient and welcoming after a day's shopping as well as the Nespresso coffee machine. Internet lounge great with free coffee/tea facilities. Excellent stay. Highly recommend.
"A Good Change"
Last year when I was in Singapore I stayed at Mandarin Orchard. This year, I thought I would give Royal Plaza a try and it was a good change! In comparison to Mandarin Orchard, the interior in Royal Plaza is a lot newer and brighter. It has a Nespresso coffee machine which I totally love! It's located on the cross road of Orchard Road and Scotts Road so shopping is just walking distance. Public transportation such as subway is just a 5 minutes walk. I didn't had to worry about food because I can get it anywhere in Orchard Road and at night there's some cafe that operates 24 hours.
The internet in this hotel was a blessing for me. I was able to upload and download files within seconds and it's done. I would definitely return to this hotel again if I'm going to stay around Orchard Road area.
"Great stay would return"
We stayed at the Royal Plaza on Scotts on two occasions and found it to be an excellent hotel. Located close to Orchard road and within walking distance of the main shopping area it had everything we were looking for. The room was comfortable, the service was great and the food was perfect. On our second stay we were upgraded to the Royal Club Lounge at no extra cost and having access to this quiet restful area made our stay even more pleasant. We have stayed in a number of hotels in Singapore but for the price, facilities and locality we rate this as number one.
"Nice but pricey"
The remodeling has made the hotel more attractive and its rooms more comfortable. Took us a while to get used to the bathroom's entrance, which is an inch higher than the room floor. It was nice that the staff checking us in welcomed us as returning guests and walked us to the elevator.
The best thing about this hotel is that our friends visiting us need not pay toll as the hotel is just outside the zone where motorists have to pay toll and they can park free at the hotel parking lot. Also, the hotel is conveniently located right across from Grand Hyatt's Straits Kitchen, our favorite restaurant, and is right on Orchard Road. Royal Plaza is a pricey place but the rate is somewhat off-set by these pluses.
"On top of the world"
We were booked into the Royal Club Lounge on the recommendation of our travel agent. What a fantastic decision. Our concierge was a consummate professional. When asked about shopping, dining etc he had all the info. He made our stay a most pleasant experience. The location is brilliant. Will come again!!
"Excellent Hotel!!!"
Everything was superb the moment we arrived...staff were really friendly...breakfast and lunch buffet is as good as advertised...room and especially the bed is wonderful!!! Location is superb especially being in Scotts Road. Near the mrt station. Free daily replenishment of minibar...How good can it get right!?
"Amazing hotel!"
Great service, friendly and helpful staff, nice room. What more do you need. It was clean, a reasonable size and quiet. The hotel facilities are good and breakfast was spectacular. It is close to Orchard Road for shopping and not too far from the hop on bus we used the first afternoon. We were impressed with the customer service and overall would recommend it. We would definitely stay there again.
I will recommend the Royal Plaza to all my friends and will most certainly book here again when I come back to Singapore. I am very impressed with the room and the facilities and the service and friendliness of all the staff.
"Consistently high quality"
I have stayed here a number of times and never been disappointed. It is very centrally located for shopping, MRT etc. I have stayed at the Grand Hyatt across the road and, in my opinion, the Royal provides a much better all-round experience.
Quality of service is excellent; the rooms are clean and very well equipped and staff very attentive.
Wide selection of foods at breakfast.
"Amazing hotel! Fantastic staff and service."
We had booked a Royal Club room for our stay and arrived at the hotel about seven hours before the official check in time of 2pm. Although we couldn't be given keys to the room so early, the lady who pre-registered us very kindly asked us if we would like breakfast, or a coffee. As we had just arrived from an 8 hour flight, a coffee sounded great. We had walked past what we assumed to be the breakfast restaurant next to entrance to the hotel, however, we were personally escorted to the Royal Club on level 15. There is a separate breakfast room on the top floor for Royal Club guests, which we had not expected. The Royal Club was very spacious and comfortable and with a decent view. The choices for breakfast were numerous - offering numerous options to cover all tastes and any kind of eggs on request, as well as the eggs that were available in the hoppers. The staff in the Royal Club could not do enough to help us from the moment we sat down. Remember, this was before we had even checked in. I was very impressed. This exceptional customer service was consistent for the whole four day stay. One lady in particular, Jophen, made us very welcome every day with a big smile and asked when taking our breakfast drinks order how our previous day had been and took some time to chat. She was very pleasant and very attentive, but most importantly she was personable. If the hotel management read this, I would like to ask them to pass on our thanks to her. The other staff cannot be faulted neither, but Jophen's personable approach made her stand out to us.
It was my birthday during our stay and without there having been any mention of it, we came back on the evening of my birthday to a delicious and beautifully iced cupcake, nicely presented in a little gift box and complete with a 'happy birthday' chocolate, birthday candle, fork and napkin - and even a birthday card! I didn't get the chance to thank the hotel for this lovely gesture, so again, if the management read this, I'd like to say thanks for this very nice touch.
The customer care here is just something else, but not to the point of being too much and over the top. The very respectable and professional approach at all times made for the most pleasant, memorable hotel stay I have had in a very long time.
Next time we are in Singapore, we'll stay here without any doubt.
If recommend the Royal Club rooms too. There is a premium, but it's very reasonable for everything that is then included in the room rate. The rooms are not enormous, but there is plenty room for two people and they are well furnished and well equipped.
"Royal Club in Royal Plaza"
Just came back from a two night stay here. I booked the Royal Club Premier rooms and it was well worth it. In fact I consider it a bargain, because by just adding a bit of money, you get a lot more, i.e breakfast, tea and evening cocktail (which includes mini buffet servings good enough for dinner). The rooms are nice too, comfortable King Sized bed which I can fall asleep within seconds. Items in the mini bar are complimentary, that's almost unheard of in most hotels in Singapore. The location is to die for; directly opposite The Grand Hyatt and just three minutes walk to ION and Wheelock Place. The only complain I have is that my room's view (Room 1502) was facing the wall of the neighbouring building, so there's nothing much to look at.
This hotel is fully HALAL and the food served at Carousel is simply superb. No wonder they won the Best Buffet in Singapore for 5 years in a row.
The staff were also very friendly and will always try to accommodate to all your requests. I changed my bedding preference last minute, and they still managed to find me a good room even though the hotel was almost full. If you are going to book at the Royal Club room, look for Najeeb, he will be on duty in the Royal Club Lounge. A very helpful staff who I see as a good representative for Royal Plaza on Scotts.

"nice clean hotel at the perfect location"
we would come to Singapore every 6mths for my dad's medical check-up. time and again we would stay here. we love that it's situated in town yet not really in the middle of Orchard Rd. best area to stay in to shop. dining options are abundant too. thankful for the free mini bar :)

Aim High Academy of Martial Arts
One of Daniel Sikkens' 20 instructors at Aim High Academy of Martial Arts is also a stunt double for the filmed-in-Portland TV shows Grimm and Leverage. If ever that instructor gets a little too roughed up and needs a break, there's always someone at Aim High who will gladly step up to fill the void.
"Everyone around here just works together all the time," says Sikkens, executive director. "It's like a family."
A former Intel employee who founded Aim High in 2005, Sikkens has grown the academy into a large nonprofit teaching multiple martial arts disciplines to more than 500 students. He says the student-focused mentality and mission of the academy keeps all employees working together.
"There's a lot of ego and pride in the martial arts industry," says Sikkens. "We have some of that, but what really separates us is that we are 100% here for the students."
Aim High makes a point to never turn a student away and to foster a welcoming, family atmosphere. Sikkens says that approach ends up bringing his employees that much closer together.
"We're all very well bonded and work together as a family," he says. "It's the kind of approach that could work in anything. We could be selling donuts."
In its first season, the comedy show Portlandia did a little send-up of Portland ad agency Wieden+Kennedy, following star Carrie Brownstein through an over-the-top labyrinth of W+K office parties, air guitar sessions and disc-golf flings.
Though the show may have exaggerated the agency's notoriously cool vibe a little much, managing director Tom Blessington says kegs on the rooftop, morning yoga classes and nap rooms are indeed part of the picture for W+K's nearly 600 Portland employees. But rather than just simple perks, such accents actually serve to stimulate the creativity W+K thrives on.
"I think they're emblematic of the chemistry and culture here," says Blessington. "Around here, we are obsessed about creativity, and those kind of things just add substance to all that we espouse."
Because W+K isn't publicly held, as many similar-sized agencies are, Blessington says employees here aren't beholden to shareholders — and they enjoy that independence. He compares the W+K workplace to a Montessori classroom, and says that working for well-known clients and brands like Nike and Old Spice is an alluring part of the job.
"While we take our work seriously," he says, "we don't take ourselves too seriously."
