How Does an Auction Work?
For Sellers
For Buyers
Properties are sold by progressive bidding. All property is sold "AS IS." You do not need a real estate broker or agent to participate, however we gladly will work with brokers and agents.
RegistrationProspective bidders must register to bid during the specified registration time for the sale, or register online. Registration times are set individually for each auction before the auction or at preview days, see auction listings for details.
Check-inProspective bidders must bring photo ID, required cash deposits in cash or certified funds, and pre-approval letters from their lenders. Upon successful check-in, a bidder may make an opening bid.Terms of the saleThe Auctioneer will announce the terms of the sale at the beginning of the auction. Any announcements made on the day of the auction take precedence over any other previously announced or documented information, but do not alter the terms and conditions of sale.BiddingDepending on the type of auction, the Auctioneer will either begin verbal bidding, or progressive bidding. In an outcry auction, the Auctioneer will ask for bids, and the bidders can accept his invitation or make another bid. In a progressive auction, initial bids will be made on a bid sheet at the property. Subsequent progressive bids will be received by the Auctioneer by phoning bidders and gathering higher bids based upon the current high bid and the required minimum bid increment. These processes will continue until the highest and best bid is made. The Auctioneer can accept or reject the final bid, and all other bids.If there is a dispute between two or more claims of entitlement as the successful bidder, Auctioneer reserves the right to reopen bidding on the property or he may, at his sole discretion, designate one of the bidders as the successful bidder. Auctioneer reserves the right to sell on behalf of third parties, its own account or on the account of others. Generally, the opening bid is set buy a bidder or the seller. Auctioneer reserves the right to accept or reject any and all bids.Absentee BiddingIf you cannot attend the auction in person, you must contact Action Property Auctions before the sale to arrange to bid by proxy. All terms and conditions of the auction will remain the same for absentee bidders. The presence of absentee bidders will be announced at the auction. The Seller reserves the right to sell their property before the auction if an acceptable offer is obtained through Action Property Auctions. It is recommended to make an offer if you are unable to attend the live auction. Contact us for details.Award of high bidThe Auctioneer's announcement of the high bid amount and the Bidder's number establishes the contract which is subject to final acceptance by the Seller. The placement of a successful bid at the auction establishes a legally binding contract between the successful Bidder and Seller. The Seller reserves the right to accept or reject any and all bids. Immediately after the bidding, the high bidder will be required to provide their earnest money deposit check. The Terms of Sale will explain deposit requirements for each property. The successful bidder's deposit will be retained as the initial payment for the property. This deposit is non-refundable.
AS IS"As Is" means that the Seller and Auctioneer do not guarantee or warranty anything about the condition of the Property being sold. It is the Buyers sole responsibility to determine the condition of the property before bidding and or purchasing. The bidders package is meant as a guide to assist the Buyer in their inspections.
Reserve priceReserve price is a minimum dollar amount placed on a property by the Seller. A reserve price is not public information. If you hear the auctioneer say "Bidding closed, subject to the acceptance of the seller," it means the high bid did not reach the reserve price. In the event the high bid does not reach the reserve price, the Auctioneer may open negotiations with the high bidder and/or other bidders and Seller. There are several things that could take place. The Property is either returned to the seller or sold to a buyer at a lesser price. The lower price is reached by the Auctioneer lowering the Buyers premium or because the Seller has agreed to accept the high bid or a combination thereof.
Buyers PremiumBuyers premium is a fee added to the winning bid and is paid by the buyer to the Auctioneer as part of the total purchase price. The fee is either a percentage of the sales price or a flat fee. The buyers premium is always clearly marked at the sign-in counter, in the printed catalog, and on the web site. Auctioneer will always announce premium rate at the beginning and end of the auction.

As a follow-up to my last post regarding a strange gift my SS received on his 16th birthday from his BM (a bouquet of flowers), I'm wondering who else out there has had a similar experience -- or is my SS's BM as unique as I think she is?? |
Follow-Up Postings:

BM in my case is prety unique too. She gave ss clothing that was waay to big for him before. She has completely skipped all 3 of my skids birthdays for years. Oh and a few Christmases ago she sent my sd a fabric calendar with teddy bears on it that was for the year prior. Plus my sd was way past liking teddy bears....but her mom would only know that if she actually was in contact with my skids. One of my favorite gifts is when she sent a gift card with directions to buy a specific gift for ss that was more expensive than what the gift card would have covered! lol |
SS's aunt was on welfare (until the state removed all of her children from her home). Every year at Christmas she'd sign up with every toy drive for needy children that she could find, and then pick and choose which of the donations were "good enough" for her to give to her children. She'd pass a couple of rejects on to BM (her sister), who would give them to SS as the bulk of his Christmas presents from her. (She'd tell DH where they had come from - I'm not sure why; maybe to let us know that if she had bought presents she'd have picked better ones?) One of SS's former teachers was very big into toy drives and so SS naturally kept trying to get us to donate presents for "needy kids" - totally oblivious to the fact that at least some of those donations were making their way back to him. It really annoyed us knowing that someone who may not have really been able to afford it was being charitable, only for their gifts to be passed over by a welfare queen with a sense of entitlement and then sent home with a kid who already has to donate some of his toys every year to make room for the new ones. |

Mattie, that takes the cake! (I'm surprised you still have a tongue, mine would be just about bitten off by this point...) |
Silver, a close runner-up was his very belated "birthday present" this year which was... his choice of stuffed animals that she still had from when he last lived with her. He was one year old then; he is now eight. They never even made it out of the bag that she sent them in - they sat for months until, during one of his periodic "pick which toys you no longer play with to go to Goodwill" he gave away the entire bag. DH and I amuse ourselves (when SS is not around) by planning the things that we say we will send up there with him for her to deal with - a pet rat? Clothes that no longer fit? Betamax tapes? A Commodore 64 so that he has a computer there? :-) |

I'm glad you are all smiling pleasantly in front of the children. My ex's brother & his new wife pulled some of these same stunts, including sending the children back to their mother in worn-out, ill-fitting thrift store clothes, but the kids never were put into the middle of it. |

I just love my X and his whole family going in together to get a PS3 for DS for Christmas. Ummmmm.....yeah...did I mention X was out of a job and living with his GF's mother? Oh and did I mention he wasn't providing health insurance like he is court-ordered to and wasn't even paying full CS? Oh, yeah, and did I mention I have residential custody of DS and he only spends every-other Friday afternoon through Sunday afternoon over there(basically 4 days a month)? Then, believe-it-or-not, X gave DS a gift card, but wouldn't let him spend it on a game for his portable system. He could only spend it on a game for the PS3...which is with X most of the month. X's gifts always come with strings. |
Ashley, was your ex the kind of guy who would give you a gift of sleezy lingerie as a present? "Here, honey, I got me, I mean you, a present...." |
- Posted by ashley1979 (My Page) on Thu, Oct 21, 10 at 9:12
LMAO! He never gave me any lingerie, but he would give me things like liquor. Stuff I might use, but that he would use more. Two Christmases before we split up, he gave me a TV as my Christmas gift. Then, when we split up, he went to the house and took it to his mother's before I could get it. ROFLMAO! I still laugh my butt off when I think about it! I just feel bad DS because they try so hard to convince him the gifts are his, but they really aren't. |
OK, so my BB isn't that unique after all - I'm not sure if that makes me feel better or not!! LOL. The flowers weren't the first bizarre gift she gave SS. When he was 12 she gave him bunny slippers. When he was about 10 he came home from her house once with a pair of her jeans (circa 1990 high-waist narrow-leg MOM jeans!!) that she said he could have because they fit him better than her. Well, the bunny slippers "mysteriously" disappeared and the Mom jeans went straight back to her the next weekend he visited her. I sometimes wonder what the hell she's thinking. |
"When he was 12 she gave him bunny slippers" LOL! That's too funny; when you started this I was thinking that at least no one got the bunny suit from A Christmas Story, but now I'm not so sure. |

My SD's grandparents sent them every year $10 WallMart giftcards for their birthdays. Mind you, they were very wealthy, never shopped in regular stores, only upscale, they both passed away recently and left BM close to $ 1million. So I mean that wealthy, and BM has siblings, so everyone got that much. I mean that how much money they had. And for Christmas they usually sent stuff from pharmacy, like one year they sent disposable razors and cheap hand cream, LOL When SD got married last year, no one from BM's family attended and no one sent a gift or even a card. Not even bunny slippers. LOL |

Double BASE Jump From Moving Gondola
I just got back from Innsbruck Austria where my friend Flo Orley had a fun adventure planned for us.
We got to BASE jump out of a moving gondola in the middle of the day. I was so anxious before the jump, the landing area was tricky and the canyon was fairly narrow with a pretty thin snow coverage.
When it was time to get going, people were stoked in the gondola, the weather was perfect and we had some super soft landings!
Flo actually had a chat with the director of the ski resort Rosshütte afterwards and he was super cool about it. He just asked that we don't do it again!
No property was damaged, no traces were left behind and nobody got hurt. It was some good clean fun unlike the idiot who jumped in Whistler by vandalizing the Peak 2 Peak gondola.
It was all about having fun, not damaging anything and not hurting anyone. I love Austria!

What law says that? Bylaws are for internal operations. We made the bylaws, and there is no entity that will ever enforce breaching bylaws. Now the bylaws clearly state the duties of the treasurer and there has never been an annual report presented to the members. Even if bylaws say one thing and an entity does another. There is really no means to enforce such. Seems there might be some non-profit or other entities that enforce such here in the United States, but its not done by a government entity. If anything maybe on a state by state basis. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bylaw_enforcement_officer Keep in mind until 2008 Gentoo did not have official by laws. I helped to draft the by laws that were adopted back in 2008. We did a very transparent review, and went section by section on this list. -- William L.

Our Mother & Daughter's Trip Report Continued
Day 3, January 15, 2007 - Scooter Day Up and at em' again this morning... burrr, another cold morning, (nice in the afternoons, and got very cold in the evenings)... same routine, went and had breakfast and then off to Disneyland. We got there around 8:30 am and so went in for the Early Morning Entry". That was really neat as we were the only ones posing in front of the Mickey and Flowers as one of the Disney Photographers took our picture. I had wanted a professional one done to purchase. The photographer gave me the "photo-pass" card so that I could wait until I got home to look on-line for the pictures and purchase if we wanted to (I did purchase another one this way, very easy to do and I love this feature) so that if we didn't want to or have time to stop by the "Photo Shop" on Main Street, we didn't have to. I did want to purchase one at the "Photo Shop" and I did so later in the day. After the picture taking, we went over to the "stroller/scooter" rental place and rented 2 scooters, one for each of us. I had finally talked my Mom into using one and also talked myself into using one as well. I knew that we had so much shopping yet to do and that Mom and I were not going to make it and would be in so much pain that there wouldn't as much enjoyment and we wouldn't accomplish what we were hoping to accomplish this day... we were going to use the scooters to go from "land to land" and then park and shop. Mom finally agreed and that was the best $35.00 we each spent. It's $55.00 rental for the day and you get refunded $20.00 upon the return of the scooter. It was also neat that you would be able to go back and forth from Disneyland and California Adventure on the same scooter if you wanted to. Once we had our "driving instructions" we were on our way. I found it kind of neat and organized how we were let into Disneyland from the end of Main Street... all who had an "Early Morning Entry" on their ticket was told to go to the left of Main Street where it was roped off for us to go all the way in so we could ride the rides that were open, and for those who didn't have "Early Morning Entry" would stay on the right hand side of Main Street behind the rope and wait for the 9:00 am opening. (I hadn't seen it done this way before). I love the "Welcome to Disneyland" you hear on the loud speakers when Disneyland offically opens to the public. the first stop was to be at the "First Aid Station" because my Mom's wrist was very sore and she needed to support it with an ace bandage, which we didn't have. The Cast Member was nice and gave her one. Since my brother was back at home and asked for stickers from Disneyland, I asked the Cast Member if she would give us one of the cute Minnie Mouse stickers that they gave out to kids... even though she might have thought that to be an "odd" request from me, she gave me one anyway. We thanked her and decided that Fantasyland was next as it will be crowded later in the day. We stopped at the Wishing Well" on the left hand side of "Sleeping Beauty's Castle" (another tradition of ours) to put money in the well. I saw the "golden" fish in the pond in the "Snow White" grotto so I took a couple of pictures and some of my Mom. We went through the Castle on the left side into Fantasyland and I was noticing that my scooter didn't go up hills very quickly... in fact, it came to almost a complete stop and then slowly would climb the hill. My Mother's scotter did good. Since I'm a "sizable" woman, I thought it was due to my weight, so I figured I would just have to use it that way. We stopped at the "Once Upon A Time" store in Fantasyland and we were the only "guests" in the store. My Mom got to chatting with "Mary", a wonderful Cast Member and I went looking around the store. I found some pretty neat books called "The Other Side of the Story". They are so cute. One side of the book tells of one characters side of the story and then the other side of the book is told according to the "Wicked Queen's", "Wicked Step Mother's", etc (depending on which story was being told) version. Mom was finally looking around the store after chatting, and chatting (I told you she makes friends where ever she goes). I showed her the books that I was looking at and she got a "kick" out of them. We both were looking around the store and doing our usual, "ohhing and ahhing" when we both stopped and chatted some more with Mary. She was so very nice and spread some "Pixie Dust" by giving my Mom a Donald Duck pin and me a Tinker Bell pin that she took off of her lanyard. Thank you Mary... when we were ready to leave we went to purchase a coloring book and another Cast Member (I can't remember her name) who also spread some "Pixie Dust" by giving us each a button saying "1st Time Visitors" to Disneyland (even though we told her that we have been coming since 1956)... when we asked her if she had any birthday stickers for my brother (he's birthday was coming up ) she gave us a "Happy Birthday" button and wrote his name on it... that was really special too. Both Cast Members were very friendly and truely knew how to share the "Magic". Thank you! We decided that "Mr. Toad's Ride" was next since the line was very short... good thing we had "driving instructions" for the scooter so we "drove" through this ride successfully... Since we were close, I wanted to go the the "Mad Hatter's" shop to look around at hats and more knitted stuff. When getting off the scooters, Mom saw a guy that had a "Harley" teashirt on... of course, Mom stopped him and told him that as a teenager, she owned a 1934 Harley Davidson "Flathead"... He told her that "she was his kind of woman" and she said that "you can have me"... he smiled... My Mom's not shy... Then she told me even though she knew what a "Flathead" was, she always likes to include it when talking about her Harley because it sounds like she really knows what she is talking about... We went into the "Mad Hatter's" shop. I hadn't paid much attention while in there before, but I finally discovered the little "rabbit door" up the stairs... and realized that that was the backside of the door that we took pictures of the kids ever since they were little... (tradition again)... too cute to see them sit in front of the little "rabbit door"... it's located outside of the store, across trom the "Teacups" and next to the "Alice in Wonderand" ride. Next we decided that we would scoot on over to Critter Country. My Mom and I had switched scooters to see if by her being a "smaller" person then me would make a diffence in how the scooter rode. Guess what, it wasn't me after all... she experienced the same thing, in fact, I passed her on her own scooter while she was going pretty slow, and we had the speed set on high... it was back to the "Scooter" rental place again to get another scooter. The Cast Member at the rental place rode it too and the scooter definatly wasn't getting enough power, so he exchanged it for me. This one worked sooo much better... so off we go to Critter Country to shop. While on our way through Frontierland, I noticed that the "Mark Twain" was not in service, but that the "Columbia" was. I was disappointed because I wanted to ride it in honor of my Dad. The Disney Website was correct... so I took pictures of it while it was "docked". As we were getting close to the "Country Bear Restaurant", we saw a lady in her scooter with her daughter walking along with her (they would take turns using the scooter)... anyway, we were playing like we were having a little scotter race since it wasn't crowded at all and all of a sudden, my Mom notices another scarf tat the lady was wearing... it was made out of a material that had a Mickey Mouse on it and was from a personnal friend of theirs that owned a private Disney Store. It was a cute scarf. We finally reached our destination of the "Pooh" store in Critter Country, parked and off to shop. I can't tell you how much fun we were having with being able to go from place to place more easily. We started in the part of the store that has all the goodies that they make. We really enjoyed looking at the different "designs" of desserts and they were also getting ready to dip big, beautiful strawberries into yummy chocolate. There were some "Goofy" zip lock baggies that you can put candy in that I thought were cute and was able to take a few for us to use. We were looking around the store and was "ooing" and "ahhing" over all the cute stuff and also a set to twins, a boy and a girl that were 6 monts old. We just had to stop and have a little "chat" with them and their Mom. We decided that a caramel apple was in order, so I got one and Mom got one with peanuts. We also asked the Cast Members behind the counter for a sticker that they were using to seal the plastic containers with for the apples for the "brother" and they gladly gave one to each of us We went outside to eat our apples, they were delicious. We people watched and had a good time watching little kids have so much fun. I did see a guy, probably in his 20's with the "Jack Sparrow" dread locks wig on. I was tempted to run up to him and squeal "Jack Sparrow, can I have your atuograph", but I didn't want to embarass him, or me... hee, hee, hee. After the apples were gone, we went to New Orleans, parked and had a restroom break by the Train Station and then off we went to look through some shops. We stopped again in the "Pieces of Eight" store (Pirates) and my Mom bought my brother's birthday present there. It is a very nice looking "dog tag" type necklace with "Dead Man Tells No Tales" from the Pirates of the Caribbean on it. Very nice looking piece of jewelry and something that he would lke and wear. We smelled some yummy food cooking and so our stomachs started telling us it was time for lunch. We went to check out the menus to see what sounded good to us. The French Market sounded good, but we didn't really feel like eating a "huge" lunch, so we went menu hunting at the "Riverbelle", the "Stage Door", the "Golden Horseshoe", the 'Mexican Food" restaurant located in Frontierland that I can't remember the name of, "Pinocchio's Restaurant" and then finally decided on the "Stage Door" for chicken strips and fries. We couldn't finish all the chicken strips, so we wrapped them up in a napkin and took them with us for leftovers later. We usually feed the ducks leftovers, but the fries were thrown away so we didn't get to feed them those and chicken strips wasn't on the "ducks" menu... Okay, more shopping to do so we went to Main Street. Mom had a "brilliant" idea that we would park our scooters by the "Main Street Railroad Station" and walk and shop up one side and down the other back to our scooters. Yep, great idea... NOT... We started with the "Emporium" again and I found HUGE Mickey Mouse slippers that I thought my Hubby would like, but wanted to check out the other side of Main Street first before I purchased them in case I found something else. My Mom bought me a beautiful pin of Tinker Bell in a lantern that I loved and gave it to me from my Dad. We started shopping and went to the "Photo" store to look at our picture taken earlier in the day and purchased one... our feet/bodies were already starting with pain, so much so that my Mom just had to go back to her scooter and wait for me. Her fivermyalgia along with her arthritis was "kicking" in and it was starting to get really cold again and she just needed to sit and bundle up and relax a little. I told her I would meet up with her, because, secretly, I wanted to buy her something and surprise her with it. We also wanted to get a picture of the "Partners" statue (Walt and Mickey) so I took a couple of pictures as the sun was starting dim for the late afternoon. I went back to the "General Store" where I had decided to buy my brother some "Disney Blend" Coffee for his birthday. While standing in line, I just had to pick up the "ear piece" to the "1890's" phone(s) they have on the wall that you can hear a "1890's" party-line conversation... (another tradition). After buying the coffee, I went through the "Crystal Shop" and didn't find any collection piece that I didn't already have or fell in love with. Crossed the street and went back to the "Emporium". My heals and knee were really hurting by this time, but since I didn't find anything else for my husband, I decided the slippers were the thing to buy. I tried them on before and they are very, very comfortable and soft. I also purchased a "Little Short Round stuffed type Mickey Mouse" for my Mom... (Mom and I have noticed these along with other characters such as Eyeore, Donald Duck and Minnie Mouse at other stores too that Mom thought were so cute). We also saw earlier in the morning at the "Once Upon a Time" store in Fantasyland, a beautiful "Snow White" pin that she liked. So I bought it for her from my Dad at the "Emporium". After all the purchases was made, I went and found my Mom just before the late afernoon parade was coming our way in the "Town Square" area. She was sitting on her scooter by the curb in front of the "Opera House". I found a place for me to park my scooter next to her and I gave her the "Snow White" pin and told her it was from Dad. She really liked it. We watched and enjoyed the parade as it came by. A very nice and colorful parade. After the parade was over, we went to see "The First 50 Magical Years" movie in the "Opera House". Even though we have both seen the movie, I really wanted to see it again as I think it is very well done. I asked the Cast Member by the entrance if we were allowed to bring our scooters inside and he said yes and opened the rope for us to enter. Once inside, I began taking pictures and of items behind glass... Mom told be to take the pictures at a side angle that way I shouldn't get the "flash" bouncing back to my camera. Geesh, I should have known this as I took pictures yesterday inside the "City Hall" building of documents behind glass of Walt's accomplishments and the "flash" hit me back in the eyes... don't know if they'll turn out or not... haven't had the pictures developed yet... (we used desposable cameras on this trip). Okay, back on track... Once the show was getting ready to start, they had us line up in our scooters in a certain line so that when the doors opened we would be able to drive the scooters in through the doors to a "wide" aisle to accomodate the scooters... very nice. I thought it would be a good idea to just park the scooters facing the exit and we would just get out of the scooters and sit on the seats provided so we wouldn't block anyones view. The Cast Member came by and said that we would have to park the scooters in the areas provided which faced the direction of the stage, which meant that we had to "back" up the scooters with them beeping when doing so. We finally got them parked. The Cast Member was very helpful and friendly and the audience was very kind and patient... thank you all. The movie was very good with Steve Martin and Donald Duck Once the movie was over, it was much easier ridig the scooters out of the theater since no backing up was required Even though I thought I would stay at Disneyland longer at night, my Mom was getting very cold and so was I and we were both starting to feel how tired we really were, so we thought that we would go back to "New Orleans" to the "Pieces of Eight" store again so my Mom could purchase a "Pirates of the Caribbean" keychain for my youngest son who still lives at home and even though we didn't shop at all the shops in Disneyland, it was time to say "goodbye" to Disneyland for this trip So off we scooted and once at the store found a really nice "Pirates" keychain that Mom bought and I bought one too for hubby. After our purchases, we scooted back to the rental place, was credited $20.00 each on our credit cards and with a few more pictures with the lights on and of Mom, we said our goodbyes to Disneyland and it was off to the Hotel. When we got to the Hotel, I was determined (since the morning) that if I found an unused luggage cart that I was going to take it and store it in our room for the morning departure. There were plenty of unused carts around, so I didn't feel guilty taking one. It would sure help since we accumulated more packages and wouldn't be able to pack the car in one trip. We got in the room and while Mom went to the bathroom, I put the "Little, Short, Round stuffed Mickey Mouse) on her pillow for a surprise. She didn't notice it at first, but while we were going through our packages and re-arranging them, she finally saw it. She thought it was mine, so I had to explain that it was for her. I wanted to thank her for coming and making this trip so special. I really enjoyed our trip together. We got a few things packed and started loading the luggage cart. We finished our turkey legs for dinner from the night before and had popcorn and Mom finished up the chicken strips for a late snack. I played with my "Disney" cards and watched some TV for a little while, then it was off to sleep for me. Mom was already snoozing. Day 4 - January 16, 2007 - Back Home Up and at em'... NOT... as least, not for me... Mom was up but I was still in bed. I didn't sleep well at all. Kept waking up all night. I got up and dressed and finished packing and putting all the rest of the "stuff" on the luggage cart. Mom had folded dollars bills to make them look like "bow" ties that she would leave for the Maid. They're very cute. We went downstairs for the usual continental breakfast before packing the car. I was very tired still and told Mom that I needed to take about an hour nap before the drive home. We went back to the room and I laid down and about 30 to 45 minutes later, the coffee had kicked in and I was ready to go. We took the elevator down to the first floor, located our car to pack and realized that someone had parked behind us so that we couldn't get out. We packed the car, went to check out of the Hotel and told them about the car blocking us in... we gave them the license plate number and they located the person to have them move their car. It was someone who works there. The car was moved promptly and we were in the our car and ready to leave within 15 minutes. We say "goodbye" to Disneyland again and off we go We gas up and got on the freeway and found that 215 East was not closed We made one rest stop and then off to the "Flying J" to gas up and get something to eat. Well, I wasn't paying attention because I was concentrating on a little joke that I wanted to play on my Mom when all of a sudden, I missed the turn off... Mom had pointed out how many trucks were lined up going to the "Flying J", but I didn't catch on that that was our exit... geesh, more IQ points... so we went down the freeway looking for a turn off to turn around on and go back, when we saw another gas station with a food eatery place on the opposite side about 2 miles down the rode. We stopped, I filled up the car and we each got an individual pizza and an ice-cream cone. Back on the road and soon we were home. It was around 4:00 pm when we got in the valley, so even though rush hour had started, we got in the "HOV" lane and really made good time. I dropped Mom off at her house and gave my brother his birthday gift along with his stickers and buttons. After giving my Mom a hug, I went home and gave hubby and youngest son their gifts and they really liked them... I then sat down and relaxed and enjoyed watching American Idol (Mom wanted to make sure we were home for that)... We had a wonderful time and a wonderful trip. I'm so glad that my Mom and I had the opportunity to be have a Mother and Daughter trip. The second day that we were there, we both gave each other a hug in the "Gag Factory" in Toon Town because we were so happy that we could have this trip together It was a very special trip and we made wonderful memories together. I sure hope we can do it again someday. I hope you enjoyed my trip report... thank you for reading.

Thank you so much for the wonderful trip report. My wife and I will be making our 3rd trip to Disneyland at the end of May. Your story of your trip with your mother reminded me of the tripa few years ago when we took my wife's parents to WDW for the first time. They were both in there mid 70's at the time and they just loved it. We will cherish those memories from that trip forever.

text: I think it sounds very promising indeed and I can only hope that Recoil Games follows through on their promise of focus on character interaction. Max Payne was one of the strongest story-driven shooters in years, offering an excellent, slightly pulpy, film noire experience. With the exception of a few RPG/FPS hybrids, we�ve not really seen character explored much in shooter games. I�m looking forward to seeing how (and if) they manage to pull it off.

Taylor University Basketball's 'Silent Night' Tradition Is the Coolest Thing You've Never Seen [VIDEO]
Every college has unique traditions, but this one is worth shouting about.
Every college has unique traditions, but this one is worth shouting about.
Zach Hodskins is the most unlikely hoops prodigy there is.
Update:Sunday, March 17 4:30 p.m.
At a packed house in the Press Box Restaurant, players, coaches and maroon-clad fans eagerly awaited Greg Gumbel on the CBS-TV NCAA Selection Sunday show just who the Grizzlies would play in the first round of the NCAA basketball tournament. The word came as Gumbel announced the second round in the East Regional to be held in San Jose, California. Number four seed Syracuse came up on the screen, and moments later the crowd erupted in cheers as the Grizzlies were introduced as the 13th seed.
Crowd at the Press Box
Notre Dame's victory over St. John's got a little out of hand last night -- in both the score and the "action" before the final whistle. Punches were thrown and security joined the fun. Silly college kids
Interesting NBA games and college basketball clashes highlight the first weekend without football since late August. Here's what to watch this weekend:
The Super Bowl, the most watched television event of the year, is scheduled for Sunday. Several other interesting contests highlight the upcoming sports calendar. Here's what to watch this weekend:
NFL teams scramble for a playoff spot, and some of college basketball's best teams face off in non-conference play. Here are the games to watch this weekend:
The Montana Grizzlies ran into foul trouble early and the hot-shooting BYU Cougars ran away with an 85-60 victory Wednesday night in Salt Lake City
The Montana Grizzlies won an overtime thriller over San Diego Saturday night in Missoula, 67 to 66, while the Lady Griz beat UNLV in Las Vegas on Saturday, also in OT, 69 to 65.
The Montana Lady Griz evened its record at 1-1 with a dominating 75-45 win over MSU Northern Tuesday night inside the Dahlberg Arena.

''So this is the big story where you say Philip Seymour Hoffman is a big star?'' asks Boogie Nights director Paul Thomas Anderson. ''That he's brilliant? That he's great?''
Actually, it's a relatively short story, and no, Philip Seymour Hoffman isn't a big staryet. But there are plenty of big Hollywood directors who wouldn't argue with ''brilliant.'' This holiday season, Hoffman, 32, will appear in movies by three wildly different directors: In Joel Schumacher's Flawless, as a tortured drag queen opposite Robert De Niro; in Anthony Minghella's The Talented Mr. Ripley, as a brash American ex-pat opposite Gwyneth Paltrow, Matt Damon, and Jude Law; and in Anderson's Boogie Nights follow-up, Magnolia, as a compassionate nurse expat opposite Gwyneth Paltrow, Matt Damon, and Jude Law; and in Anderson's Boogie Nights follow-up, Magnolia, as a compassionate male nurse opposite Julianne Moore, William H. Macy, and Tom Cruise. Attests Schumacher, ''He's just one of these great born character actors.''
For the past eight years Hoffman has been spinning variations on what he calls the ''quirky redheaded guy'' into a minor cottage industry -- showy as Twister's tornado-chasing goofball, loutish as Hope Davis' ex in Next Stop, Wonderland, pathetic as Boogie Nights' porn-film grip pining for Mark Wahlberg, even more pathetic as Happiness' shut-in, who reaches out via obscene phone calls. Along the way, he's developed a resume that's a careful mix of quality and commercial (last year he played Robin Williams' roommate in the blockbuster Patch Adams). ''I've tried to do roles of all stripes that keep the work coming and me interested,'' he says. Such roles have made Hoffman just famous enough to get those ghostly stares from strangers on the street lingering and lit by dim recognition that are the strict domain of the character actor.
On Nov. 24, however, the softly handsome Hoffman will step out of the character arena and into his first leading film role. In Flawless (Schumacher's only writing-directing gig since 1985's St. Elmo's Fire), Hoffman stars as cross-dressing vocal coach Rusty, who provides singing lessons as speech therapy for his homophobic neighbor Walt (De Niro), a retired New York City security guard recovering from a stroke.
''It's a kick-ass job to sweep in for 15 minutes and entertain with some character you've created,'' reflects the slouched, slacker-ish Hoffman of his career as a supporting actor. ''With a lead role it was very differentyou have to [entertain] and carry the movie and do it in drag.''
''He was petrified,'' laughs Schumacher, who cast Hoffman after auditioning hundreds of drag queens. ''But Philip understood the part -- the sensitivity and suffering. And he matched up beautifully with De Niro. They're both perfectionists. Philip would stop takes if he thought his pinkie wasn't effeminate enough.''
''He's not exaggeratingI was panicked,'' says Hoffman. ''I knew my habits of behaving weren't gonna work. I had to forge a new voice, carriage, look...everything. I wanted to be accepted as a woman and if I didn't get it right, I knew people would say it was bulls---. So I'd watch the tape, blanch, and go, 'Oh no! Oh f---in' no!'''

Sugar Ray's Mark McGrath Being Sued By Former Bandmates
For those who were around in the '90s, McGrath will forever be remembered as the frosted-tipped frontman for feel-good rockers Sugar Ray, scoring massive MTV and radio hits with songs like "Fly" and "Every Morning."

As a start-up business owner, trying to find the answers to questions such as what a 401(k) plan or the Dow Jones Average mean to your business can often send you running to a 10-foot-high stack of textbooks.
But don't head to the local university library just yet: The SOHO Desk Reference (Harper Collins Publishers, $35, 800-242-7737), a business guide for small office/home office business owners, takes the pain out of finding the answers. Led by editor Peter H. Engel, a team of successful entrepreneurs, educators and editors put together The SOHO Desk Reference to provide small-business owners with a comprehensive handbook containing answers to the many questions that arise when running a business.
Using a format similar to an encyclopedia, The SOHO Desk Reference lists more than 400 subjects, ranging from simple selling techniques to complex financial-planning issues. Listings encompass such fields as business law and theory; financing and investing; publicity; inventory procedures; and hiring employees.
Each of the book's sections briefly explains the subject at hand in layman's terms, by defining the subject and showing practical examples of how it affects a small business. For example, the "disclosure" entry provides a term definition as well as why it is important, what the law requires and how to protect yourself with disclosure agreements. The "mission statement" entry defines the term, provides sample mission statements and gives advice on how to create your own.

Social service professionals who work with local veterans in need of housing will speak at a community forum on Thursday at Rocky Mountain College.
The topic will be "Joining Forces: Addressing Veteran Homelessness and the Role of Public vs. Private Funding."
The event at 6:30 p.m. in the Great Room of Prescott Hall is free and open to the public. It is hosted and sponsored by the RMC debate team, the chaplain's office and Office of Community Involvement.
The forum will include a time of dialogue, questions and answers with local experts and refreshments. Tammy O'Shea and Scott Powers, who both work on veteran homelessness, will speak about their role, the challenges they face and their sources of funding.
O'Shea, a social worker, leads the Billings Homeless Veterans Office for the Department of Veterans Affairs. Powers directs a regional private program to provide housing stability for very low-income veterans called Supportive Services for Veteran Families.
RMC debaters Samantha Zetler and Tessa Fraser will moderate a question-and-answer session. Debate team members Daniel Parod, Toryn Rogers, David Fejeran and Holly Todd also will discuss how homelessness among vets is being addressed and who should fund it.

For Immediate Release
Contact: Bailey firstname.lastname@example.com www.MilitaryFamily.org 703.931.6632
March 25, 2011
ALEXANDRIA, VA March 25, 2011— The National Military Family Association's newest publication, Finding Common Ground: A Toolkit for Communities Supporting Military Families is available online and suggests easily-achievable action items and useful resources to guide anyone who wants to support military families, but doesn't know where to start.
The toolkit is the product our 2010 Summit on Military Families and follows the release of our Association sponsored RAND research, Views from the Homefront: The Experiences of Youth and Spouses from Military Families. Experts in the fields of military family support, childhood development, women's issues, and behavioral health identified innovative and pragmatic ideas that could make positive differences in the lives of military families. The recommendations from the Summit are organized in this newly released document and can be found online at www.militaryfamily.org/community.
As American military forces continue their engagement in two wars, provide humanitarian relief in Japan, and support UN missions in Libya, military families are stretched thin and the consequences of multiple deployments are enormous. The well-being of military families is a national concern, but also a measure of military readiness. As stated in the President's budget, "The strength of our troops relies on the strength and the stability of the families that support them…" Family strength depends on the coordinated support they find in both their military and civilian community.
In addition to recommendations from our Summit on Military Families, the toolkit includes specific tips for:
Readers are encouraged to use the ideas and resources provided to start conversations and stimulate action to support military families.
For our part, we are committed to sharing these recommendations with key government, military, nonprofit, and philanthropic leaders who can implement the ideas. The National Military Family Association will convene follow-up conversations with the philanthropic and business communities to seek funding for some of the initiatives imperative to improved family support.
This project was made possible through the support of TriWest Healthcare Alliance, Health Net Federal Services, United Concordia, and US Family Health Plan. The printing of this resource was sponsored by DefenseWeb.
About the National Military Family AssociationMilitary families serve our country with pride, honor, and quiet dedication. The National Military Family Association is the leading nonprofit organization committed to strengthening and protecting the families of the men and women currently serving, retired, wounded or fallen. We provide families of the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, Coast Guard, and Commissioned Corps of the USPHS and NOAA with information, work to get them the benefits they deserve, and offer programs that improve their lives. Our 40 years of service and accomplishments have made us a trusted resource for military families and the Nation's leaders. To learn more, visit www.MilitaryFamily.org.
Until military families are relieved of the weight of war, we hope you will continue to contribute to their wellbeing.

Interested in tall bamboos. I have plenty of space for them. I'll use them for screening.
In Somerset county. Thanks. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I have some Phyllostachys, but you'll need to cut the culms (stems) back and plant the rhizomes. With water and fertilizer, they'll regenerate nicely. I also have several groundcover bamboos (variegated and green). |
Hi Steve, I know this has been a couple of years. I just wonder if you still have any bamboo to share. I also remember there is some gathering at your place from time to time. We have been just too busy to attend. Let me know. We have an empty area and some bamboo screening would be great. Thx. |

Basem Wasef here for Popular Mechanics at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. We have a really unique opportunity here to speak Mr. Giugiaro about his Mustang Giugiaro concept and actually we got to drive the car today so some and join me.
I chose Mustang because I love the Mustang's world, which is very particular for USA. It's a car that Europe doesn't exist and on that we need really our best to design something that people recognize first of all as a Mustang that's we more time. There are some Italian parts in this car. In general, we can say good taste in car is. The front, I mentioned that his for me one of the best corner of the car where you can immediately recognize that you are in front of a mustang and that was really main goal to do. The rear end compared to the standard Mustang is shorter and first of all you can see that there're 2 boxes in here, very sharp here too. At the same time, weight more than because we have introduced this big glass that's [unknown] glass of the roof and the windshield. For the rest, we have on side typical 2 lines of the side glass and this little rear glass. There's no particular strange design. The design is very simple. We have small shoulder, you know, with a nice ideal power with simplicity and then typical longer, very long hood, long because anyway there is a very important [unknown]. Engine is 4.6 liter, 8 cylinder supercharged. It's an engine that gives 500 horsepower [unknown]. The engine is completely covered with design elements around the engine. We design to leave the compressor, but the rest is not fake; it's a cover. That cover for example, the tank out there, cooling system, the tank of the oil, the tank of the hydraulic system. So, we design, we make sort of simulation of the real things that are under the cover and under the hood. Everything also here realize specific in carbon fiber. The interior has 4 seats and have very big trunk, so a cooper with minimal dimension that is good the same time appearance or sportivity, power, speed, but very comporting. For the interior, we decide to design a dashboard quite innovative where we have the upper part, very technological. It's like a big transparent funnel where you can have all the information, GPS, time, or kind of information, and also this upper part hide the monitor, the 3 monitors that show you what happen around the car. When you are driving, the 3 or 4 cameras show you well what is happening around the car. There is no regular traditional mirror, but everything is integrated and sophisticated electronic system. The 2 sets of door are completely automatic and are made of carbon fiber. They have a special inch that we engineer [unknown] design only one at the bottom of the door This is a solution that was very exotic and not very normal for us [unknown], but again, it's a solution that tells what comfort when you are in car, which is not too high. So, I was surprised of challenge to make an interpretation of American golden icon as an impendent to Italian studio. What we have done is something that you can see respect the different identify of an icon like a Mustang. So, we used many lines until that point of the DNA of a Mustang as the best for the [unknown] could do, so it's really kind of test for to show what we are able to do in the design.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Willow!
Facts about Willow
- Breed: Great Dane
- Color: Merle
- Age: Adult
- Size: X-Large 101 lbs (46 kg) or more
- Sex: Female
Willow's Info...
I am already spayed, housetrained, purebred, up to date with shots, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Willow is a wonderful 3 year old blue Merle Great Dane. She is a shy girl, but has warmed up to her foster family very quickly. Willow gets along well with her dog friend in the house, as well as the resident cats. She can get spooked by sudden sounds or movements once in awhile, so it may be best if she goes to a quiet home with no kids under 10. She has developed quite a personality since she has been with her foster family, and has really come out of her shell. She loves to play with her soft stuffed toys, or relax with her foster family on the couch. She is very easy going in the house, but she is still not sure about all the sights and sounds going on outside. Her foster family is working on getting her more comfortable with being outside and experiencing new things. Willow is wonderful in the car, excellently potty trained, and is wonderful in her kennel when her family is away at work. If you are looking for a sensitive, sweet, affectionate, and quiet dog, this girl is for you.
Other Pets at Save The Giants
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Willow, a Fort Collins Great Dane dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Great Dane for sale in Fort Collins, or seeking a Great Dane dog from a breeder in Fort Collins.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Fort Collins already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Fort Collins breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Great Dane breeders who help with Great Dane rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Fort Collins paves the way for another one to be saved.

Teaching Economics after the Crisis: a Summary of the Outcome of our Members's Survey.
In February 2012 a conference was held at the Bank of England, jointly sponsored by the Government Economic Service, the purpose of which was to question whether there were manifest shortcomings in the knowledge and skills of young people taught Economics in UK universities.
The conclusion of this Conference was that such shortcomings did exist. As a consequence, a steering group, including both academics and employers of graduate economists, was established to discuss recommendations for reforms to the teaching of Economics.
The Society of Business Economists has been represented on this steering group and has played a full part in its deliberations. The steering group decided that it would be very useful to know what the views of the membership of the Society of Business Economists, who are typically also employers of Economics graduates, are on the wide-ranging issues which had been so extensively discussed. As a consequence, a survey was prepared and sent to members in January 2013. Happily, this elicited an enthusiastic response.
Members were asked to rate an extensive range of knowledge and skills as "absolutely essential", "desirable" or "not necessary".
Standard macro and microeconomics topped the essential knowledge list together with basic data-handling skills and knowledge of data sources (e.g. ONS; World Bank).
Lower down the essentials list came Money & Banking and Financial Economics, followed by Economic History and International Trade.
Further down came Cost/ Benefit Analysis; Competition Economics; Behavioural Economics; History of Economic Thought; Financial History; Industrial Development and Economic Development.
Econometrics came into this latter category but less than 10 per cent of the poll regarded 'Advanced Mathematics' as essential -on a par with Regional Policy, knowledge of Accounting, Corporate Finance or Foreign Languages.
'Analytical Skills' scored very high as an essential skill, closely followed by Writing Skills. Also ranked high were 'ability to apply economic theory to real world policy or corporate issues' and 'ability to explain economic concepts to non-economists'. Ranked considerably lower on the "essentials" scale was "experience of undertaking a research project" and "collaborative working project experience/ teamwork".
Revealingly, comments about new Economics graduates from survey respondents consistently mentioned poor communication skills and lack of 'real world' or 'historical awareness'.

text: Personally, I would not book a dinner package to see the Candlelight Processional. It is very expensive, you still have to stand in line to get in, and you're stuck with whatever the weather decides to do! We catch the Candlelight Processional usually several times every year, the lines are usually tolerable as long as you stay away from the middle show and try to avoid weekends. The shortest line will be for the first show, but it is still light outside, which takes away from the experience. The last show you'd probably want to get in line at least one hour before, but that usually means you get to hear the second show while waiting in line! You will most likely be sitting toward the back of the theater if you don't reserve a dinner package, but there's no guarantee of great seats. Once we were in the standby line, and ended up sitting one row behind the dinner package seats! If you don't reserve a dinner package, you have the flexibility of not waiting in line because of the crowds and/or weather. If you have to, you can always stand in the back outside of the theater, and listen to the CP. To us, it's not Christmas without the Candlelight Processional!

One of the most difficult things to do when you're photographing a group of people
is to get them all to smile in the same frame.
So if you can't get everyone smiling, just make sure that you have everyone smiling in at least one shot.
They don't all have to be smiling in the same shot,
but just make sure that you have everyone smiling so that you can combine the images.
We're going to start with these 2 images,
and I'll select Tools and then Photoshop, and we're going to load these 2 images into Photoshop layers.
Bridge will hand those off to Photoshop, and you can see that they're both opened into a single document.
But there's a little bit of a problem here.
If we toggle on and off the layers, you can see that the zoom on the camera was changed between these exposures.
So I need to auto-align these 2 exposures.
On the Layers panel, I will select both of the layers and then I will choose Edit and then Auto-Align Layers.
We'll pick Auto and click OK, and now we can see that Photoshop has automatically aligned those layers
so now the people are the same size in both images.
So taking a look at this top image here, everyone looks great except for the girl who has her eyes closed.
If we hide that layer, we can see in the bottom image,
well, he's got his tongue out and she's looking away,
and the baby is kind of falling a little bit, sliding down, but she looks great.
Now to me, this just makes more sense.
Since this is the bad image, I actually want to put it on top.
The good image here, this is kind of my base layer,
because everyone looks good and then I just need to fix her.
So I'm going to drag it to reposition the stacking order on the Layers panel.
So now my good layer is on the bottom, everyone except for her.
And then all I need to do is paint out everyone except for her.
And I don't even need to physically paint that out.
I can hold down the Option key and then click on the mask icon,
and that will add a black layer, which will hide everyone.
Then all I need to do is tap the B key to select the Brush tool,
tap the D key to make sure that I have the default colors—
that puts white as my foreground color—
and make sure that I'm painting with 100% opacity.
Then I'll zoom in using Command+ or Control+ on Windows,
and I'll paint right over her face here with white,
which basically means I'm revealing this portion of the image, and this is the good portion of the image where she's smiling.
So I will just be a little careful as I paint in this area.
Now, I'm going to paint a little too far just to show you what might happen,
because when you are using this technique you definitely want to toggle the eye icon on and off to check the mask that you just created.
So you can see, for example, on this shoulder I have a little bit of a problem.
So we'll zoom in even more and then use the space bar to scoot over.
And let's see what that problem is.
I've actually painted away his shoulder.
So I want to tap the X key in order to exchange my foreground and background color.
I'll get a little smaller brush using the left bracket key.
And then I just want to bring the shoulder back right here.
All right. Let's toggle the visibility again and see if I have any other areas that need to be fixed.
I'm going to scroll down and see.
I'll just make sure. No, I've got a big issue right here.
In this image I've got the nice sleeve here, but then I've got something odd happening in this layer.
So again, with this same color selected, with black selected, I need to paint out this area from the topmost image.
Now we'll toggle that on and off again just to double check.
We can see a little bit more right here, so I just want to remove that.
And one more time, and that's looking good.
So there you have it, a simple way for combining multiple images together
to create that perfect image where everyone looks good at the same time.

WASHINGTON, May 5, 2013 —The decision to move "The Mentalist" from the strong Thursday night CBS lineup to Sunday nights at 10 p.m. would be a death sentence for most shows. Apparently CBS net-heads knew what they were doing, because despite losing the lead in of "The Big Bang Theory" and "Person of Interest," "The Mentalist" has quietly established itself as a favorite in its 10 p.m. Sunday night time slot.
This is no small accomplishment given the growing distraction of quality cable programming on Sunday nights. So far this year Sunday nights have hosted the record breaking success of shows like "The Bible," "The Walking Dead," and "Game of Thrones," just to name a few.
SEE RELATED: Sunday Night TV: The Bible and The Walking Dead continue ratings race
Despite the competitive time slot, "The Mentalist" has been a regular on Nielsen's top twenty lists throughout the entire 2012-2013 broadcast season. It should come as no surprise that CBS recently announced the renewal of "The Mentalist" for its sixth season.
As "The Mentalist" wraps up another successful season tonight, it's worth noting that the theme of flawed but likable sleuths is still strong enough to maintain a devoted audience. This is good news to CBS, and it is good news for the larger part of the TV audience that still prefers a well told story over the contrived drama of reality shows.
Elsewhere tonight HBO's "Game of Thrones" is in the midst of its most successful season yet. "Game of Thrones" is averaging 13.4 million viewers for season 3 once all airings and DVR playback is accounted for — almost 2 million more than the season 2 average. At its current pace "Thrones" will replace "True Blood" as HBO's top performer.
Tonight Communities' writer Gayle Falkenthal is hosting a Live Chat for "Game of Thrones," beginning at 9 p.m. Join her and fans around the world as they observe and discuss tonight's episode.
