SEATTLE -- A real estate scam is picking up steam in Western Washington. The scam artistsare duping people into paying rent or putting down a deposit onplaces that are not even for rent. In fact, the places are usually for sale -- by someone else.
Lisa Dean said she almost fell for the scam. She was looking to rent a home in Seattle and thought she found the perfect home on a rental web site for just $2,000 a month. But there was a red flag.
He expected us to rent it sight unseen, Dean said.
Dean insisted on seeing it. So the alleged homeowner, who claimed to be living in New York, said an attorney in Iowa would need to fly to Seattle to show the home, and that would require a $250 deposit in advance.
Dean wired the money, but stopped payment before it cleared because she grew suspicious. The home had a For Sale sign out front,prompting Dean to call the real estate agent listed on the sign, Beth Toomey.
She called me and said, 'I'm confused, can a house be for sale and for rent at the same time?' Toomey said. And I said, 'Sometimes, but not usually.'
Toomey then informed Dean it was a scam, one that seems to be happening more often.
These professional scammers are telling stories that are full of bologna, Toomey said.
Catching the suspects is tough. The state attorney general's office said it does not investigate these cases, and most local police agencies do not investigate either because they are Internet crimes that occur outside of their jurisdictions.
Victims can file reports with the Internet Crime Complaint Center, a partnership between the Federal Bureau of Investigation and National White Collar Crime Center. Special Agent Fred Gutt with the Seattle FBI officewarns every complaintwill not get an individual response, but the complaints give the agency a chance to track trends.
It's been so frustrating, said Dean, who did file a complaint. I would absolutely like to see justice.
For now, consumer awareness is usually the best line of defense.
We want to share this story and tell people: be careful, do your homework, Toomey said. Before renting a home, They must insist on getting inside.

Call up Rony at 416-826-5169. Tell him, Billy told you about him. He used to own a Car Audio/Alarms shop and now is working for Panasonic and also works for Oakville Honda along with Mississauga Honda as welll for car alarms. Dealership makes $200 on each install.
He will do it for cheap directly.

I swear by Selective Sound. Their new site is up: http://www.selectivesound.net/

Selective Sound is a great place to get your installs done. I have no affiliation with them so this is just word of mouth.
They do top notch service and installs at an unbelievable price, seriously. I have had 5 cars done by Selective Sound and for great reason, and I always go back. I checked around other shops such as Audio Heaven and Lockdown Enterprises. I compared prices and Selective Sound was by far the cheapest by a large margin.
Although it was cheapest out of the bunch, quality to attention and detail and install is amazing. They go the extra mile such as to solder their wire work. They don't just twist them. Solder is important in this type of work. And their installs are clean like OE style. They bundle and hide the wires which is a plus.
For myself for example I bought an alarm/remote starter combo off ebay. So I got them to install it on my Civic with another piezo siren for about ~$120, don't remember exact price as this was a while ago...but its cheap, close to that number, trust me.
Please note that numbers will be different for you possibly because I did not have automatic door locks hooked, and didn't have other needs that the alarm offered. BTW: If your car is newer you might need a bypass module. They sell these cheap too.
If you call Selective Sound, please mention my name, this is important. Mention: Michael from Toronto Civic Club (username: My93Civic). Please talk to "Davis".
Good luck, you won't be dissapointed.

If any of you guys would like to install it yourself but need help let me know. I installed a more complex 2way compustar remote starter with alarm just a few weeks ago all by myself.
All you need is a wire colour mapping of your car, some relays if needed, electric tape and lots of patience. Wire colour mapping can be found on the internet. If your car is newer, you'll have to figure out if your car needs a bypass kit. Its a fairly simple job if your car is older._______________

Can someone please clarify for me the optimal way to get the most of of a Capital One CC with paying just in time to get the best utilization...
So from what I understand there is a timeline involved with credit cards...
Card issued -> Statement generated -> Info Reported -> Due Date of previous Bill -> Second statement generated -> Info Reported....
My card is soon to get its second statement generated. My due date for its first bill is Oct 17. I managed to get proper 10% utilization reported on the first report, but now I am getting cross eyed with trying to figure this out...
When is the best time to pay the bill so that you low balance reported? How do I know when my statements are generated? What is the diff between the statement generated date and due date?
You need to pay the blance down on your statement closing date. You can find that out by calling Cap1. Your due date is different from your closing date.
So they report AFTER statement closing date?
Called Cap 1. They said they report 4 days after the closing date, which is not true, because my closing date is 20th and last month my stuff got reported on the 21st to EX, 22nd to EQ and 24 to TU... So I guess its safe to say that best to pay the balance down 2 days prior to statement closing date and wait with using the card, until i see that it had reported.
To put it simply, they report what is on your statement regardless of how many days afterwards it is. Anything you do not want reported, have it paid off (whatever percentage you choose - optimal, according to these boards it under 10%) BY the statement date.
Yep. Makes sense. Thanks for clarifying it. Now that I have set my Mint reminders I am going to be ok.

The 7 Most Pointless Books by "Celebrities"
Subscribe to our newsletter
When it came to my attention that something called a "Snooki" was apparently writing a book after gaining fame on a horrifyingly popular show called Jersey Shore, I had a couple of initial reactions. The first was that I found it amazing that Snooki is apparently literate. The second? This might not even end up being the most pointless so-called book written by a "celebrity" that we've seen come along in recent years. And even more frightening is the fact that she might not be the least qualified celebrity author, either. Okay, that's not true. She's by far the least qualified person for anything, other than maybe midget mud wrestling. Anyway, here are some pretty pointless books written by some pretty pointless people…
Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt
Book: How to be Famous: Our Guide to Looking the Part, Playing the Press, and Becoming a Tabloid Fixture
Judging by their rise to fame, I'm thinking the chapter titles probably consist of stuff like Act Like an Ass on National TV, Have Rich Parents, and Become Addicted to Plastic Surgery. Because after all, these days it appears that any of those things will do the trick. They certainly have worked for Heidi and Spencer, two of the most detestable people to ever find their way into the American mainstream. Spencer alone is proof that all you need to gain fame is to be an entitled a***ole with no likable qualities whenever a television camera is nearby, while Heidi…
Well, let's just say that the media doesn't mind fawning over plastic looking blondes with big boobs. Now these are some role models for the kids! And if the only qualification for becoming famous is having money and being a douchebag, then apparently the only qualification for writing a book is having once set foot in a bookstore. Actually, scratch that. I'm not convinced that either of these two have ever done that.
Tila Tequila
Book: Hooking Up with Tila Tequila: A Guide to Love, Fame, Happiness, Success and Being the Life of the Party
Right alongside Heidi and Spencer on the Mount Rushmore of undeserving celebrities is the diminutive Tila Tequila, whose claims to fame seem to be wearing little to no clothing, being a slut, and the ability to carry and withstand every sexually transmitted disease known to man. I do have to give her credit for coming right out and naming a book after the very reason she's famous: the fact that she'll hook up with anyone, anything, anywhere, all for a little money.
While I'm here, I'd like to note the apparent trend of these wannabe celebrities claiming these books are guides. Frankly, you'd be just as well off taking guidance from a drunk polar bear with a machine gun. Actually, that sounds pretty badass. Let's make that book happen.
Book: Wild
Who knew that when not pimping fake butter or posing for romance novel covers, Fabio was actually writing? Hell, who knew that he could even write? Of course, judging by some of the critical lambasting of his book, apparently that second question is up for debate.
According to Amazon, Wild is the tale of a woman caught up in a torrid love affair that's interrupted by a shocking murder. Man, isn't that always the way it goes? One minute you're hooking up with some bimbo (like Tila Tequila) on some rich asshole's (like Spencer Pratt) yacht, and the next thing you know you're surrounded by blood and police. Oh, if only the victim were Spencer himself, then maybe the police would let you slide. By the way, I'm glad to see that Fabio doesn't mind pulling double duty. Not only did he author this 348 turd, but he also appeared on the cover. And so did his manboobs, naturally.
Lauren Conrad
Book: L.A. Candy
One of the old pals of Spencer and Heidi (seriously, we just can't get away from them, can we? Maybe their guide to being fixtures in the public eye is dead on after all) on The Hills or Laguna Beach or one of those horrific shows that ruined MTV, Lauren Conrad decided that the world needed a heaping helping of her L.A. Candy, which apparently tells the "fictional" story of a girl in L.A. who suddenly finds fame on a reality show. Yeah, big creative stretch for you there, LC.
At this point, I'm not sure which is more troubling: the fact that this is geared toward teenage girls and will only further serve to dumb down the American youth, or the fact that somehow, miraculously, this book actually hit the best seller list. Apparently the American youth was already plenty dumb before picking up this little gem.

BUFFALO, N.Y. --- Erie County residents got the chance to offer their opinion on the county's proposed 20-13 budget Monday night.
Last month County Executive Mark Poloncarz presented his proposed budget to the legislature, that included a 3.4 percent property tax increase.
Monday, local officials voiced their support for the increase which could also mean additional funding for the library system and arts and culturals.
"We create jobs, attract talented professionals and give back to the community and return dividends to your investment," said Jant Castelo of the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra. "Though some may ask whether you should invest in the arts, I ask, 'how can you afford not to'?"
"Cuts to funding or operational hours would severely hinder the efforts being made to break the inter-generational cycle of poverty and illiteracy in our area," said Jennifer Westerholt of Literacy Volunteers.
If passed, the Poloncarz's budget would allocate more than $5 million for county arts and culturals.
The legislature has until December 15th to pass a budget.

YES, he is distructive to a team.
This jerk can't keep his butt out of strip joints, even when told to. When this guy runs into the law again, and trust me, he will, what good does he do to his team when he's in court, or when he becomes the media circus that he will inevitably become. How can he, or his teammates focus on football with all the stuff going on around him? How many times does a man have to touch a hot stove before he realizes he'll get burnt? This guy just doesn't get it, or, he's dumber than wood. He's had more chances than he deserves. I don't want him on a team I root for, I don't care how good he is. This guy has no character and respects nothing, and I seriously doubt he'd be welcomed on any team.Faithful Rams fan since 1968

Re: would you trade a #5 for pacman jones
PacMan's 2nd year - Titans 8-8
PacMan's suspended year - Titans 10-6
Two ways to view it:
1. PacMan IS/WAS a distraction and his suspension was the best thing that happened to the team....vis-a-vis their record w/o him
2. PacMan IS/WAS NOT a distraction as can be witnessed by a team that has continued to get better through all the drama that PacMan has brought with him.....vis-a-vis the drama doesn't penetrate the lockerroom door.
P.S. I once knew an Oak tree who could speak Spanish. He only knew the cuss words, but still that's pretty good for wood."Before the gates of excellence the high gods have placed sweat; long is the road thereto and rough and steep at first; but when the heights are reached, then there is ease, though grievously hard in the winning." --- Hesiod

It was a great opportunity to mess with the work of Benny Tones (who also mastered 'Four' for me), especially a track with the vox of Electric Wire Hustle's Mara TK on it. Still pretty stoked with the results - hope you enjoy.
I've decided for 2013 I'm going to upload a short release (maybe 3 or 4 tracks) every second month. Discussing mastering now.
There's definitely some other projects on the go as well, but I figure I can commit to at least this much.
2 new albums, a single, a bunch of remixes, over a dozen free tracks, gigs in Auckland and Wellington... 2012's been alright, music-wise.

Open Source BPM: Camunda Forks Activiti
SUNNYVALE, Calif., March 18, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Berlin-based software vendor camunda today announced its comprehensive Open Source process management suite; camunda BPM. Signavio's partner is "forking" the Activiti® project's source code and donating significant additional components that provide new capabilities for business / IT alignment.
Since the beginning, camunda has been one of the main contributors to the Activiti project. Based on the company's experience implementing BPM platforms for numerous customers around the world, camunda recognized a significant opportunity to improve the project's value. As part of today's move, camunda increases its influence on the direction of the project, not only by committing development resources, but also by making most of its commercial product "camunda fox" Open Source. These contributions to the project should be of significant interest to any enterprise considering a Java based execution platform.
Signavio users benefit considerably from camunda's decision to establish a new project. The Signavio connector, included as part of camunda's Open Source code base, enables the business-IT-roundtrip communication between process implementation and business-oriented modeling. Signavio customers - no matter if they are running an on-premise installation or are using the cloud based service - can now deploy the camunda BPM package and connect it with their process modeling workspace. With this approach, customers can now easily combine the best of two worlds: camunda BPM for implementation and Signavio as the gold standard for process modeling.
Jakob Freund, CEO of camunda, comments: "The introduction of camunda BPM is an important milestone for us. Signavio is our favorite process modeling tool and the best technology for a BPMN 2.0-based business-IT-roundtrip. That is why we published the Signavio connector as part of camunda BPM."Tom Baeyens, initiator of Activiti and now CEO of Effektif, also applauds camunda's move: "Thanks to the additional components of camunda BPM, the value of the Open Source project is increased a lot." Baeyens had left the Activiti project in November 2012 and started the cloud-based BPM solution Effektif.com. "camunda is one of the most important partners of Signavio and camunda BPM provides an excellent Open Source framework for automating business processes", Gero Decker, Co-CEO of Signavio, says. "It should be the first choice for any business who wants deploy a Java-based execution platform for BPM." Activiti is a registered trademark of Alfresco Software, Inc. All other trademarks are the property of their respective owners. About camunda BPM: camunda BPM is an Open Source platform for business process automation. The system employs a "less code" approach where the BPM engine can be seamlessly integrated into Java development environments.

When Asus announces stuff, it really announces stuff. That weird Turducken Transformer thing from earlier is far from the only thing the Tiawanese OEM has revealed at Computex. There are also new Transformer Pads, MeMO Pads, and an updated line of Fonepads – you get one guess what they do.
If you've been following along with ASUS' recent releases, you'll already know what's coming with the MeMO Pad 8 and 10: a couple of budget-friendly tablets sporting screen sizes equivalent to their model names. This duo is brand-spankin'-new and falls right into place in the existing MeMO Pad line.
MeMO Pad 8
The primary difference between the two units is the display size – most other specs are either identical, or very similar.
Can we get a show of hands as to who's interested in the upcoming ASUS MeMO Pad? Great. This post is for you. Bulgarian site tablet.bg has gotten its hands on this understated Android tablet and taken the liberty of giving it a full review. The conclusion? It's still pretty meh. But you know, it's meant to be a budget device, and will compete wonderfully with Acer's new B1 tablet.
ASUS, in a bid to sell to "several emerging markets," has just announced the MeMO Pad – a seven-inch tablet sporting ASUS' nearly-stock Android 4.1 Jelly Bean experience, a 1GHz VIA CPU (with Mali-400 GPU), a 1024x600 display, 1GB RAM, and up to 16GB internal storage with a refreshing microSD slot available for expansion.
Just like the Nexus 7, the MeMO pad just offers a front-facing camera, though it's a 1MP shooter with a back-illuminated sensor.

Ruthie makes wonderful creations that are made with all natural ingredients. The cakes taste amazing and she completely was able to grasp our vision and we were more than thrilled when it was revealed!! We HIGHLY recommend Cakes by Ruthie!!
Wedding: 3/1/2013
Ruthie is amazing! Her cakes are beyond delicious! I was able to design my entire wedding cake just how I envisioned it, including the size, colors, designs, layers, flavors, fillings, everything! Everyone at the wedding thought it was amazing, and they loved how beautiful and tasty the cake turned out! We can't wait for our one year anniversary to taste the topper! We also used her to design my bridal shower cake which was "tea themed" - complete with a teapot cake! She works wonders with all things sugar! Definitely using her for any other special event coming up!
Wedding: 2/23/2013
Gorgeous cupcake tower! Ruthie did an amazing job and was even able to give us gluten free cupcakes and topper!
Wedding: 2/2/2013
Ruthie has several different flavors and cake designs to choose from. We chose a 5 tier almond flavor cake with fondant icing. Our guests were raving. We were told "We never eat wedding cake, but your cake was delicious." by a few guests.
Wedding: 11/17/2012
I would recommend Ruthie to everyone I know. My cake was included with my venue and she took her time and showed me tons of options. We sampled 6 different cakes with all different icings until we found the perfect one! Also I looked at 4 different books with all of her creative designs. Thank you Ruthie are Wedding Cake was delicious & beautiful!!
The Tulko 11*17*12
Wedding: 11/2/2012
Ruthie was amazing! She was a delight to work with. She turned my dream cake into reality. Everyone loved the cake. Since we could not agree on a flavor she made it half- almond with grand marnier strawberries and his half- chocolate chip with dulce de leche. I will recommend her to anyone.

Glenn Beck Encore Staying Put
TVNewser had heard rumors earlier today that Fox News was having discussions about moving a replay of Glenn Beck's show to 11pmET and moving Bill O'Reilly's replay back to 12amET. Right now, "Glenn Beck" airs at 5:00pmET with a replay at 2amET.
Beck's program has delivered remarkably high ratings with a 5pm airtime — last night, he drew 3.07M Total Viewers (his 4th highest) and 734K in the A25-54 demo — but, regardless of whether moving the encore would make ratings sense, it seems any speculation is pointless at the moment.
Bill Shine, SVP of Programming for Fox News, told TVNewser, "We have no intention of changing our schedule or adding in an encore presentation of Glenn Beck at 11pm."

Macquarie Infrastructure Company LLC (NYSE:MIC)
Owns, operates and invests in a diversified group of infrastructure businesses, which are businesses that provide basic, everyday services, such as parking, roads and water, through long-life physical assets.
I came across an interesting stock idea in this week's issue of Barron's, which contained its always interesting Investment Roundtable. This one was brought to us by Meryl Witmer, who by far had the most SPOPY stock ideas in the last Roundtable issue. Her idea this time was to go long Macquarie Infrastructure [MIC]. I actually wrote something on this trade several months ago. Here it is for anyone who's interested, followed by a portion of the write-up from this weeb's Barron's:
"A new type of special situation, Invest in companies before they significantly increase their dividend
I am constantly reading anything that I can about investing in "special situations." I recently came across a great quoted on one variety of special situation that comes from many people's favorite value investor, Warren Buffett:
The buying opportunity that Warren exploits is this: after the company announces that it is going to convert into either a royalty trust or a master limited partnership, which means that its future dividend payout will increase after the conversion, the stock market won't recognize the increase until the conversion is completed and the dividend is actually increased and paid out. This creates a short period of time, between the announced reorganization and the actual date of the conversion, in which the company's shares are undervalued in relation to their future increase in value, due to the increase in the dividend payout that occurs after the conversion.
Why does this window of market inefficiency exist? These companies, because of their small market cap, are usually not well followed by Wall Street or the general public. Also, investors have a preference for valuing an interest-bearing security on the basis of what it is paying today, not what it might be paying tomorrow.
The popular members-only investment idea website, SumZero, recently published a write-up on a company that fits this description in the "free" section of its site for the unwashed masses of non-members like myself.
MIC ($21/shr) >> Big Upside, Limited Downside, and a Near-term Catalyst
The company that was discussed is called Macquarie Infrastructure Company (MIC). Macquarie is an infrastructure company that ran into trouble at the height of the Great Recession when one of its subsidiaries was forced to file for bankruptcy and it had to eliminate its dividend. To compare it to a company that Fooldom is familiar with, think of MIC as a mini Brookfield Infrastructure Partners (BIP).
Macquarie owns things like bulk liquid storage tanks, a Hawaiian natural gas utility, a company that services private jets, and a water utility.
To make a long story short, you can read the great write-up for the details, the author not only believes that MIC is undervalued on a sum-of-the-parts basis but that the company's stock price will surge once it reinstates its dividend, which MIC has mentioned will happen some time in early 2011. They peg MIC's fair value at around $36/share, approximately 50% higher than its price today and that the catalysts in place will enable the company to reach that target level within the next six months.
Like many of these ideas, the time to buy this stock was several months ago, it has rallied 75% since late last year, but I'll take a 50% gain on a company that may begin to pay a substantial dividend in the near future. I have not bought MIC in real-life, but I did add it to my CAPS portfolio at $24.05/share.
Is anyone out there familiar with this company? I'd love to hear your thoughts."
Here's what Ms. Witmer had to say about the company:
We have been buying Macquarie Infrastructure [MIC], an infrastructure fund with ownership interests in four businesses: International-Matex Tank Terminals, Atlantic Aviation, the Gas Company and District Energy. International-Matex, or IMTT, is the most exceptional. It is one of the largest bulk-liquid storage-terminal businesses in the U.S. Macquarie owns half.
What makes it so exceptional?
The company can store more than 43 million barrels. They store petroleum, vegetable oil and commodity and specialty chemicals. The main storage facilities are in Bayonne, N.J., and St. Rose, La. Storage contracts last from three to five years, so the business isn't particularly sensitive to the economy. The Bayonne facility is strategically placed on the Kill Van Kull, a tidal strait near New York Harbor. The facility is able to load and unload ships quickly due to the depth of the water in front of its docks. Competitors' docks can't handle large ships; products have to be transferred to barges before docking. That increases costs. IMTT's advantage will increase because the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey is dredging the Kill Van Kull even deeper so New York Harbor can be accessed by larger ships being built to take advantage of the widening of the Panama Canal.
We estimate IMTT will contribute about $1.50 of after-tax free cash flow in 2012 to Macquarie. The division deserves to trade at about 15 times free cash, which makes it worth 22 a share. Macquarie is trading for 24.75.
So you're getting the rest of the company for less than $3?
Correct. The next-largest asset, Atlantic Aviation, operates gas stations and terminals for private planes. It suffered during the financial crisis, but has been cutting costs and the business is improving. Last year it contributed about $1.20 per share of after-tax free cash flow, and could earn about $2 a share if the business returns to earlier levels. We value Atlantic at about $10 to $15 a share.
The Gas Company operates the only private gas utility in Hawaii. District Energy operates the largest district cooling system in the U.S. Together the businesses earn 55 cents a share. Along with some tax assets, they're worth about $7 a share.
.How will Macquarie unlock this value?
The game plan is to pay out dividends. The company pays 80 cents a share, giving it a 3.2% yield. In a few years they could pay as much as $3 a share, if not more. There is no debt at the holding company. Executive compensation is tied to the stock's outperformance relative to a particular benchmark. For management to receive extra performance fees, the stock needs to reach the mid-30s. Macquarie is worth 40 to 45 a share.
This is exactly the type of situation that I am in love with right now. I have been trying to add the stocks of companies that I believe will substantially increase their dividends, and likely as a result in turn their share prices, in the future. Along these lines, I currently own UAN, SEMG, ROIC, and PEB and I am always actively looking for more. I may see if the Barron's pop fades in a few days and pick up a little MIC if I like what I find when I dig into it a little more.
Your analysis is spot on...I grabbed MIC on 2/22/11 and am a happy camper so far, up 14%; can't wait for the dividend increases.
