Mar 2, 2014 6:41 PM by ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES (AP) - Construction on new Southern California homes is lagging and that's driving up prices for would-be middle-class homebuyers amid a reduced inventory.
Developers are still wary about putting up new construction despite a boom in prices in the past year.
Southern California's supply of new homes dropped to about 2,200 at the end of last year -- about one-tenth of what was available in 2006, just before the market collapsed.
Analysts say about 15,000 new homes will be sold this year in the six-county region, or 58 percent less than the 20-year average.
The slow investment in new homes has caused prices to freeze up after a quick recovery last year because buyers can't find a home they want at the right price.

SANTA FE, New Mexico — A New Mexico Senate Democrat and a House Republican plan to co-sponsor legislation to define the relationship between candidates and political action committees when it comes to campaign finance.
Similar bills have failed in previous years but Sen. Peter Wirth said Monday he is hopeful of passage this year because of bipartisan support. The Santa Fe Democrat said the bill will be introduced following a review by the New Mexico Secretary of State. Republican James Smith of Sandia Park will be the sponsoring the measure in the House.
The Albuquerque Journal reported (http://bit.ly/1uw1Sh6 ) that super PACs, which aren't supposed to coordinate with candidates, spent millions of dollars on elections in New Mexico last year but there is no law that defines what exactly coordination is.

Football camp at North Broward Prep offers chance to increase recruiting profile
Some of the area's top high school football players now have yet another camp in their backyard, and thus another opportunity to make an impression in the recruiting process.
Under Armour, in conjunction with mega recruiting site Rivals.com, has started the first-ever Rivals Camps Series, a set of 17 invitation-only regional and national football camps taking place in 15 cities across the country.
The series spans eight weeks and culminates with two national camps in June.
The sixth one will take place this Sunday at North Broward Prep. Two hundred players are expected to participate in the one-day camp, which will start at 8:30 a.m. and run all day.
The day before, there will be a camp at Lake Gibson High in Orlando.

Timothy Bernasek, attorney for the growers, said his clients feel vindicated.
"The waiver of appeal rights without having investigative findings provided is incredibly heavy-handed," said Bernasek, a partner in Dunn Carney Allen Higgins & Tongue LLP, Portland.
"I've never heard of them doing that before," he said. "They used a consent judgment process as a requirement to lift their hot goods objection, at least once in Washington the summer before. But they didn't require a waiver of appeal rights. Here there was no semblance of due process and I think the judge saw through it."
The Labor Department has until Feb. 28 to file objections to Coffin's findings and recommendations, after judge Michael McShane granted an extension Jan. 21 beyond the 14-day window.

And these are the problems: wanting enlightenment too much, and you will miss it; holding the desire anywhere in your unconscious to achieve it, you will not achieve it.
Relaxing, forgetting all about enlightenment, forgetting all about the future, living in the present, your love will attain to a crystal clear purity, undefiled by any desire, even the greatest desire of enlightenment.
Then you will not feel the distinction between the master and yourself; then you can carry the master within your heart. Then wherever you are, your master is with you. The duality is dropped; the two flames have become one. It is not your flame, it is not the master's flame - when those two flames become one, they become universal. In separation, you are a disciple and there is a master - in becoming one, the disciple disappears, the master disappears; what remains is only a pure awareness.
The transformation of love into pure awareness is the alchemy one has to learn by being close to a master. By being close to a master you can enjoy the warmth, his presence, his words, his heartbeat. But as you go far away you will not be able to listen to the same heartbeat; you will be again yourself - back to zero. You will hear the heartbeat but it will be your own. Close to the master you are overwhelmed.
The secret to learn is to purify your love.
Drop all ambitions.
There is nothing to be achieved.
All that you want is already present in you. The master is not going to give you anything that you don't have. In fact, the master goes on taking away things which you think you have but you don't have. And the master cannot give you, of course, that which you have. He can only take away all the barriers, all the hindrances, all the obstacles, so only that which is your own, remains behind. In that unpolluted space, the distinction between the master and the disciple is no more. That does not mean that you don't feel grateful to the master. In fact, only after this has happened, you feel for the first time a tremendous gratitude.
Sariputta was going very reluctantly on a message tour. Buddha had asked him to go to his own kingdom - he was a prince before he became a disciple. Buddha said, "Now it is your responsibility and your compassion to go to your people - to your father, to your mother, to your whole kingdom. What you have achieved, let them become aware of it. It is their potential too; share it."
He was very reluctant to leave. Buddha said, "What is the reluctance? - because now I am within you. I am sending you away, knowing perfectly well that you will not feel any distance."
Sariputta said, "Distance is not the question. I can go to the farthest star, still you will be within my heart. The trouble is, here I touch your feet every day. You may be in my heart, but how am I going to touch your feet?"

Great to hear about all of your "american" adventures. I LOVE San Francisco, but I agree with the Mark Twain quote too!!! I am always freezing when I go there. BUT.....the food makes up for it! I love the food in San Francisco.
Can't wait to hear more!!!! I'm anxious to hear how you liked Las Vegas. It is one of my least favorite places. We live only 7 hours from LV and I REALLY don't care for it at ALL!! |

Doo be dooo! Here I am again!
MA Pigletfan... We didn't see any stars, no! The closest we got when we saw Jerry O'Connell's car parked in his carpark at Universal Studios. Awesome, hey? We did go on a "Movie Star homes tour" though, and saw lots of big houses which apparently belong to celebrities. Hehehee. But really, it could have been Joe Shmoe's house, and the dude just said, "John Travolta lives here!" But we had fun looking at the pretty houses, anyway! I was hoping Brad Pitt might have heard I was in town and invited me over for dinner, but alas. Maybe next time! NMAmy... Wow, you have a Cruiser! What colour is yours!? I loved our little blue car! It was very comfy!! I connected my ipod to the stereo, and for about half the trip, we played The OC themesong - "Califoooornia, Californiaaaaa, here we coooooooome!" Heee! joiev98... I'd love 8 days in Florida right now!! Lucky you!!! lennon2004... Thanks for your nice comments! I'm glad you like my Aussie phrases - I was a little worried that I might say something, and people might think, "Huh!? What's she talking about?!" but so far, so good!! We spell things slightly differently sometimes too, like "colour" and "favourite". So don't worry, I'm not really that bad of a speller!! Disney_Dreaming... I did love California! If I was to move to the US, I think I'd live in California. Oh, hang on. Maybe New York City. Or, maybe Florida. Oh, there's too many good places!! LITTLEKID58, basas, Ciciwoowoo... Thanks for all your lovely comments! It's nice to know people are enjoying my trip report!! lisaj... Your trip sounds fantastic! I'm very jealous! Luv2trav... Our 7 week adventure was awesome, you're right!! I think it's more common for Australians to do a big overseas adventure than it is for Americans, for some reason. Lots of Australians live and work overseas in England for 2 years when they're in their 20's. We didn't want to do that, so we just decided to have a big holiday instead! It's odd though, because after a few weeks of holidaying, you kind of take it for granted. You forget about "real life" and your job, and cleaning, and all that boring stuff. Instead, you get stressed about silly stuff, like catching the right bus to the beach, or arguing about what to do for that day, or making sure you get to your ADR on time. Funny! mt mommy... We really enjoyed the food in San Francisco too! We found a great little Italian restaurant just down the road from where we were staying - they had the nicest creamy chicken pasta ever! And I agree with you about Las Vegas... I really didn't like it! But I'll get to that very soon in the next instalment! Thanks again for all your nice comments!! I get so excited when I see someone else has replied! Hee! I'm going to put the next instalment up in the next few hours, so keep an eye out!!

Part 2
San Diego & Las Vegas
Yay, lets keep going with the report! Cause you know what comes after Las Vegas on our trip? Disney World! Yahooooo! So we drove from Los Angeles to San Diego in our Cruiser, which only took about 3 hours. When we got there we had to drop off our little blue Cruiser to the hire car place, since we wouldnt be using it anymore. I was so sad to say goodbye to our cute little car! But first we had to fill it up with gas and we couldnt work out how! When we did it last time, we just paid more for the garage attendant to do it. Seriously, its much trickier in America than Australia!! Ha! Anyway, you know what? San Diego has lots of NICE people!! A guy in his early 20s who was also filling up his car saw us struggling with the gas pump, so he came over and offered to help. Which was nice enough, but then when our Australian credit cards wouldnt work in the machine on the gas pump, he offered to pay for our fuel, too!!! Augh! So nice! We wouldnt let him, of course, but wow! What a nice guy! And then when we eventually returned our car, we asked the nice lady in the hire car place if we could use her phone to call for a taxi, and she said, Dont do that! Ill just drive you to your hotel! So she did! She closed the hire car place, we all hopped in her car, and she drove us to our hotel! It was only 10 minutes away, but wow!! So many nice people in San Diego!! We stayed at the DoubleTree in San Diego, which was actually really, really nice. And you know what? After 8 days of non-stop sight-seeing and driving, we were tired. Really tired. Especially after flying for 14 hours and never really resting afterward. So in San Diego, we rested!! We swam in the hotel pool, and slept in late, and drank lots of cocktails! It was really our vacation part of our trip. Heres me sipping a late-night Grasshopper cocktail by the poolside firepits! Nice! We did go into the centre of San Diego a couple of times, but really just to shop and eat at restaurants. Looking back, we kinda feel bad that we didnt actually see much of San Diego (not even a beach!), but at the time, we were exhausted and needed to relax and chill for a bit! (And also, when we went shopping one day, a scary man approached me and asked if I had any crack. Ummm. No.) We did go to SeaWorld for a day though, which I loved. Im a sucker for SeaWorld!! I love water rides and all the cool animal shows! It was DFs birthday that day, so we booked a table to Dine with Shamu, the killer whale. We had a delicious buffet lunch next to Shamus big tank, and watched her do some tricks. It was actually very cool! Heres Shamu dining on her buffet lunch Hmmm, delicious! So after 4 nights in San Diego, we flew to Las Vegas!! We stayed at the Monte Carlo, one of the big hotels on The Strip. It was fancy from the outside, but not so much on the inside. Which is a good way to describe Vegas in general actually! Lets just say, I wasnt a huge fan of Las Vegas. Although it didnt help that when we were there, it was the long weekend and it was absolutely PACKED. Plus, to quote Elaine from Seinfeld, The HEAT! My GOD, the HEAT!! Because ooooohhhhhhh, wow. It was hot. It reached about 112 degrees F when we were there, but it felt even hotter. Theres no shade in Vegas. Only a zillion other sweaty, smelly, drunken bodies walking along next to you. And the only escape is into one of the casinos, which Im really not into. Aye, aye, aye! Or, you could go to my favourite place in Vegas the M&M store!! Now that was cool! One night in Vegas we went out for a nice meal at a nice restaurant, and DF ate some nice steak, and later that night, DF threw up that nice steak into our nice toilet. All night. Poor guy!! He had some serious food poisoning. So as you can tell, we just didnt have the best run in Vegas! While there, we went on a day tour to the Grand Canyon via a tiny airplane, which was pretty cool. Although all the lookouts we went to looked pretty much like this I mean, I know its really just a big hole, but I thought we might see some different scenery. Heee. Oh well. Its nice to say weve been to the Grand Canyon! You know what else didnt help me enjoy Vegas? Knowing that we were only DAYS away from Disney!! I really just wanted to leave Vegas and fly to Disney World already!! The night before we left Vegas, DF had a happy surprise He won $240 on the slot machines! Yayyyyyy! So Vegas wasnt so bad after all!! No, I shouldnt say that. It really wasnt terrible. It was just really hot and really crowded. We had some fun times like lounging around the pool, and playing in the M&M store, and walking around some of the themed casinos And you know what comes next?!!! Yep! DISNEY WORLD!!!! Yayyyyyy! Up next AUGH!! I cant believe were actually here!!

Love your reports so far. You have so much enthusiasm and seem to be having a great time!!!!! Sorry your DF had food poisoning in Vegas, a very unpleasant experience.

Awesome reports!! I can't believe all the friendly people in San Diego... I must go and see for myself.... :lol: My DH LOVES Vegas... me not so much. I went there for my bachlorette party and I just didn't get the Vegas vibe at all. I don't like to gamble so that pretty much sealed the deal for me. I would love to go to the Grand Canyon though.

Loved your San Diego story--it seems like it was either feast or famine for you. People were either exceptionally nice or crackheads. I've never been to Vegas but I think I'd probably feel the same way you do. I don't like to gamble and it just doesn't look like my thing. Can't wait to read about the Disney portion!

Loving the report and all the details about your travels. You broke my heart though by NOT having gone to the San Diego Zoo! What's up with that?? You can rest at home! Sheesh I want so badly to visit that zoo but the hubby seems to think it's 'too far' or something silly like that.

Hi, I am totally enjoying your report! A seven week vacation sounds like heaven to me. I have been to San Fran years ago and loved it, also been to LA loved it also, never been to SanDiego but my DH went to school there (many moons ago)so we're planning on going someday. Just went to Vegas last Oct. and had the exact opposite experience with the weather! It was actually cold!!! I had brought all summer clothes thinking it would be hot, and almost had to buy a whole new wardrobe. Weird huh.
Anyway, can't wait to hear about Disney... We're going in July for DS's birthday

Keep writing! I'm really enjoying this. It's so neat to hear about other people's experiences.
I've spent quite a bit of time in San Diego for work, and yes there are very nice people there. I hope you enjoyed some of the excellent Mexican food in Old San Diego. I have to say I have no desire to ever visit Vegas. I flew there once on my way to a work trip out in the California desert. I was NOT impressed. Looking forward to the Disney part.

Movie News After Dark: Alien Biker Jemaine, Portlandia, Film Studies Ryan Gosling and The Lion King Rises
Movie News By Neil Miller on January 3, 2012 | Comments (3)What is Movie News After Dark? It's a nightly movie news column born exactly one year ago today. And it's very happy to still be around and well on its way to taking over the planet. It is convinced that it will have a very productive 2012 in that area, especially once humanity's reign of terror ends later this year. In the mean time, it would like to thank you all for reading. Now enough of that mushy stuff, lets do the news. We begin this evening with an image of biker Jemaine Clement in Men in Black III. He's playing an alien biker who turns out to be the villain in this time-traveling storyline…. And we wonder why that movie has had so many production problems? Either way, I'll watch Jemaine Clement eat soap if I have to, as that guy is quite funny.
Drenched in atmospheric dread, Brad Anderson's Vanishing on 7th Street is a slight yet haunting thriller that replaces easy answers with the pervasive sense of unknowable, evil forces at work. Propelled by an unexplained mystery – Detroit's electrical grid fails and people start vaporizing in the darkness – the movie offers a crash course in economical filmmaking while espousing the fundamental truth that nothing scares quite like what we can't see or understand. The set-up is simple: Days after the cataclysmic event, four strangers – possibly the only survivors left in the Motor City – wind up in a strong, generator-powered bar on 7th Street. They are TV reporter Luke (Hayden Christensen), movie theater projector Paul (John Leguizamo), nurse Rosemary (Thandie Newton) and adolescent James (Jacob Latimore). With no answers, no clear next step and sinister animated shadow portrait figures crawling along the walls as the power dims, the quartet tries to find its way to some form of permanent light.
Christian Bale May Be Crash Dieting Yet Again For New JG Ballard Adaptation
Casting Couch By Nathan Adams on February 9, 2011 | Comments (1)In an interview with Shock Till You Drop Brad Anderson, director of The Machinist, broke the news that he will be working on an adaptation of the J.G. Ballard novel "Concrete Island" – a book Cole recently dreamcast and wrote about for Print to Projector. Fans of The Machinist should take special note of this because not only will he be re-teaming with the writer of that film, Scott Kosar, to get together the script, but he also says that he will once again be looking to Christian Bale for a star. Anderson describes the upcoming film as " … like an urban Robinson Crusoe story. A guy crashes a car into a highway interchange and is marooned in this weedy lot, injured, and can't escape, and he's basically trying to survive in the middle of the big urban metropolis." In regards to Bale, Anderson said, "Christian's on board to do that, when we can fit it into his schedule of course." We all know what Bale's upcoming schedule looks like, so it may be a while, but it looks like this is going to happen.
Print to Projector: Concrete Island
Features By Scott Beggs on December 4, 2010 | Be the First To CommentAs the only literate Reject, it's my duty to find the latest, the greatest and the untouched classics that would make great source material for film adaptations. I read so you don't have to. This week, Print to Projector presents the story of a man buried alive buried alive in his car trapped in space stuck between two boulders stranded in between two highways on a small grass island where his survival and sanity depend on a few cases of wine and the sheer will to live.
Vanishing on 7th Street Trailer: Brad Anderson Makes Humanity Disappear
Movie News By Neil Miller on August 19, 2010 | Comments (5)Damn fine director Brad Anderson is back, and once again he's looking to thrill you. Last time we checked in with the director of Session 9 and The Machinist, he was giving us a fear of trains and Russian people who look like Ben Kingsley with his 2008 film Transsiberian. That film rounded out a trio of excellence in the last decade. To kick off this new 10-year frame, Anderson will debut Vanishing on 7th Street at the upcoming Toronto Film Festival. It's a survival thriller that calls back to 28 Days Later (when you wake up, everybody's gone) but also calls back to some of Anderson's earlier work with Session 9. The trailer is up and down, but we do know this for sure: Anderson is at his best when he's creating taut, atmospheric thrillers that ooze with tension. And there are few concepts more filled with tension than "don't let the lights go out, or you will die." Let the fun begin after the break, where I've conveniently assembled the trailer and the official synopsis. It's also worth noting that you should not discount this movie based on the involvement of Hayden Christensen. A quality director can overcome his usual wooden effort.
Brad Anderson's New Film 'Jack' About A Serial Killer Who Doesn't Know Jack

Is Brian De Palma Directing Paranormal Activity 2?
In Development By Rob Hunter on February 26, 2010 | Comments (1)Paramount is on an impossible mission (see what I did there? I referenced an old Commodore 64 game) to find a director worthy of helming a sequel to their blockbuster hit, Paranormal Activity. The original film from first-time director Oren Peli was produced for under a million dollars but went on to gross over a hundred million at the box-office. A profit that size made a sequel inevitable, and the studio has already announced a release date of October 22nd, 2010… less than eight months away.

Director Brad Anderson Talks About Delivering an Authentic Hitchcockian Experience with Transsiberian

Police Leave Scene of Northeast Shooting
POSTED: Friday, May 7, 2010 - 10:37am
UPDATED: Sunday, May 9, 2010 - 9:40am
El Paso - Police no longer patrol a home in Northeast El Paso that was the scene of a shooting earlier this week.
But crime scene tape remains at the home in the 8,000 block of Tonto Place.
Homeowner Paul Daw shot and killed an intruder after a brief fight early Wednesday.
The case has been referred to a grand jury to decide if any charges are warranted.

But they appear to have made up: in December, Colbert challenged Davis to a skating race. Colbert lost, even with the bodysuit-wearing comedian getting a head start while Davis was still driving to the rink.
"It was a really genius skit," Davis told The New York Times last week, as he prepared for this week's competition.
Colbert became active in the Olympics last fall, when Davis and the US speedskating team became another victim of the world financial crisis. The team's major sponsor, DSB Bank NV, Dutch bank declared bankruptcy in October. Colbert stepped in with a $300,000 fundraising drive, and now the skaters have "Colbert Nation" emblazoned on their uniforms.
"Without me, they would be racing on butter knives nailed to a pair of [sneakers]," Colbert said on his show.
Colbert was then made an official member of the US Team, with the title "assistant sport psychologist," and has since accepted an invitation from the City of Richmond, the home of the Olympic speedskating venue, to be the official Oval ombudsman.
In similar publicity stunts, the comedian has lent his name to a NASA treadmill used in the international space station (COLBERT) and to a Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream flavor (Americone Dream).

by James Slater - One of boxing's hottest up-and-coming stars of the future makes an appearance on November 22nd's Hatton Vs. Malignaggi card. Unbeaten light-middleweight talent James Kirkland, the 24-year-old southpaw with the 23-0(20) pro record, will take on the once-beaten and 26-year-old Brian Vera, currently 16-1(10).. Vera, in his last fight, back in March, went up against another "sure thing," and upset the odds in a big way. Stopping the highly touted, Emanuel Steward-trained, Andy Lee in 7 rounds, Vera made a promising fighter look very ordinary. The question is, can Vera do the same thing again against the hard-hitting Kirkland? It sure as hell won't be easy, that's for sure. One look at Kirkland's numbers lets you know straight away he is a puncher. Only three men have heard the final bell in a fight with him, and his last four bouts have ended in 2 rounds or less. And Kirkland has not been fed a series of soft touches, either. Eromosele Albert was 21-1 before being dispatched inside a round, Allen Conyers, who scored a knockdown of his own before losing in a wild 1st round, was 11-2 going in, and in his most recent fight, this past September, Kirkland took out the 22-2-1 Ricardo Cortes in 2 rounds. Only the capable and savvy Ossie Duran, the tough guy from Ghana, has been able to last the distance with Kirkland in the last five-and-a-half years. Without a doubt, this southpaw is a prospective future world champion at either 154 or 160 pounds (November's fight, according to BoxRec, will be held at middleweight). But, despite how good Kirkland is, it's unlikely Vera will be overawed come November 22nd. A former participant in "The Contender" TV show, Vera also has that great win over Lee to his name. He proved against Irishman Lee that he can handle southpaws, and he also sucked it up and came through some rough patches. The worrying thing is the fact that Vera was stopped in just 2 rounds by Jaidon Codrington, during his "Contender" adventure. Codrington is a hard puncher, so there's no disgrace in Vera having been stopped by him, but Kirkland will surely feel he can do a similar job. Vera does have the experience of having fought bigger guys, with some of his bouts having taken place as high as super-middleweight. Still, at age 24, Kirkland is probably growing into a middleweight just fine. A quick KO win for Kirkland cannot be dismissed, and it's almost certain he will come out fast as he looks for one. Vera will give it his best and will no doubt be ready to meet his man in mid-ring. It just seems the younger man's power will get him his 24th win and his 21st stoppage. It could be wild and highly exciting while it lasts, but I go for a Kirkland win in around 3 or 4 rounds.

MISSOULA — A suspended University of Montana football player has pleaded guilty to a felony drug charge in exchange for a recommended deferred sentence.
Twenty-year-old Trevor Poole, of Spokane, Wash., pleaded guilty Tuesday to possession of dangerous drugs.
The former tackle was arrested in late October at a large Halloween party and suspended from the team. He acknowledged buying two "molly" pills, a drug similar to ecstasy.
In exchange for the guilty plea, prosecutors agreed to recommend an 18-month deferred sentence that could lead to the conviction being removed from his record.
Poole's sentencing is set for January.

'Vampire Diaries' Stars Meet the Fans (PHOTOS)
They may play bloodsuckers on TV, but the studly stars of CW's The Vampire Diaries proved they have the human touch when they dropped in on fans at a Florida mall over the weekend.
Paul Wesley and Ian Somerhalder (two of the hottest vampires next to Robert Pattinson!) hosted a meet-and-greet with fans of the supernatural series and even inked hundreds of autographs. Sadly absent was hot on-screen werewolf Taylor Kinney, who was (spoiler ahead!) killed off in last week's episode.

Where are you? A trade has been mentioned for the area around Rome. I'm in Adairsville. We are on another thread in the discussion section. Moving to NW Georgia thread, but I started a new one, Established and Transplanted NW Georgians. I did go to the trade in Roswell, it was worth the drive, but it would be great to have one closer, too. |

Logan was a beast this year, but he wasn't a Brockers. Brockers gave Mingo and Montgomery a better chance to get to the qb. I think freak will help that out and our pass rush can be back to what it was in 2011. Great pash rush = less time for corners to be beat. I am really pumped for next season, and with Cam I believe we can be a dominant force.

Hi Steve,
> Yery good idea, I've been wanting to do that for a long time, but I've
I agree this is a good time to do it, but I suggest we make it
plugins.linuxaudio.org rather than ladspa.linuxaudio.org so we can
include DSSI plugins and any future formats under the same umbrella.
Also, I've been wondering recently about plugin classification and the
way that plugins are packaged by the various distros. I think there's
scope for some smaller packages that include the plugins a user would be
most likely to need, maybe separated out into effects and synth plugins.
For example, we currently include about 220 LADSPA plugins in 64 Studio,
but I don't think I ever use more than a dozen of those in my own
studio. Even then, some of the AMS demos don't work because we don't
have all the plugins they need.

My job is to represent potential purchasers and sellers in Real Estate closings in New York City. It's pretty cut and dry. I have no idea where the market is going (although clients always ask me, as does my family). No idea if people are going to make or lose money. But, with this gig, you get a front row seat of what's going on in the marketplace. Here's what I see: 1.

Using the cloud to revolutionize Real Estate Closings in NYC
I've been a huge fan of Basecamp and Trello for a while. Our law offices uses it all the time for our back office needs, specifically for Real Estate closings in NYC. Recently, I had an idea to cut through the inefficiency that is the real estate closing process in New York. Typically, it takes days if not weeks to get a Contract signed, when, realistically, that could be done in as little as 24 hours (if you're able to do the due diligence.) This led us to Basecamp and Trello. What if we could upload the Contracts to … Read more
In Re: Wiping your ass with Branding Experts
Whilst trolling the Clio Cloud Conference the other day, I intervened in a Twitter conversation between Monseiur Brian Tannebaum, a successful criminal defense attorney in Miami, and Vincent Depalma, a self described "tech expert" and believer of "branding" for lawyers (LOL) over at Incinvinciblecreative.com where he describes himself as "an all around stand up guy". If I described myself as an all around stand up guy, you should perhaps think twice about hiring me, as it's quite odd to declare such things as objective fact. Brian, Vince and myself got around to talking about branding for lawyers and whether or not … Read more
Lawyers, we're f**king doing it wrong…
On Saturday morning, I read an absolutely wonderful story in the NY Times by Michael Beschloss, one of the best Presidential historians of our time. It was about President Truman and how he played Poker within the backdrop of the Cold War. I follow Michael on Twitter as well. I do this because his commentary is captivating. He has great content. You learn something when you read what he writes (and he writes quite well.) Lawyers should take note of this when someone is selling them on "tech" and "building an online presence." Much of my practice is devoted … Read more
What will the Trustee ask me at the Meeting of the Creditors
I love doing podcasts over at Gershburg Law, P.C. because my voice somehow sounds semi-sexy (very different in real life). In any case, my most recent podcast surrounds the Meeting of the Creditors in New York City, also known as the "341 Meeting." This is where the Chapter 7 Trustee will ask a number of questions surrounding your Bankruptcy petition. "Do you own a car?" " Do you own a home?" The problem is many people that have filed Chapter 7 Bankruptcy in New York City don't know the questions that are coming their way. Their attorney doesn't prepare them … Read more

NYC Chapter 7 Trustees and Abuse
The New York Law Journal recently posted a story where two per diem attorneys in New York City filed complaints against Chapter 7 Trustees for abuse of debtors. One of the debtors, the story alleges, is Spanish and was essentially verbally harassed and abused because he needed to use a translation service when he testified at the Meeting of the Creditors. Before I go further, let me make a few disclosures: One of the Trustees named in this story is Robert Geltzer. I previously worked as an Of Counsel to Mr. Geltzer in several cases, wherein we attempted … Read more
NYC Real Estate is Ready for an innovator
The New York Observer has an amazing post pointing out that the housing bubble we are currently experiencing in New York City simply doesn't account for the housing needs of most New Yorkers. It's not hyperbole to describe this as a watershed moment for New York real estate and an absolutely critical moment to "disrupt" the typical way of renting/selling real estate here. Huge change are afoot, and the market is all but begging for it. Let's begin with the current housing stats. Residential construction in New York City soared by 50% in 2013. On the face of it, that's … Read more
Do not ever discount your legal fees. Ever.
This is more of a practice management post: Never discount your legal fees. Ever. I don't care who the client is. People have told me this for years and for years I would nod and for years I would discount fees, and it is a horrific, horrific mistake (that I've made previously). Why do most people do it?

My Private Note
Units: US | Metric
- 6 ounces ground fatty pork (from shoulder)
- 1/4 lb large lump crabmeat, picked over
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten (whole egg)
- 1 egg yolk, lightly beaten
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 scallion, finely chopped
- 2 small garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 1/4 teaspoon salt, Rounded
- 30 pieces rice paper, wedges
- 6 cups oil (vegetable or peanut)
- 1Mix together pork, crabmeat, beaten whole egg, cilantro, ginger, scallion, garlic, and salt in a bowl until combined well.
- 2Line a tray with wax paper.
- 3Put a double thickness of paper towels on a work surface and fill a shallow baking pan with warm water.
- 4Discard any rice-paper wedges with holes. Soak 1 wedge in warm water until pliable, 30 seconds to 1 minute, then carefully transfer to paper towels, arranging it with curved side of wedge nearest you.
- 5Put 1 tablespoon filling in middle of curved side about 1/2 inch from edge and shape filling horizontally into a 2 3/4-inch log. Fold left and right corners of wedge over filling, overlapping slightly and aligning bottom edges. (Wedge will resemble an open envelope.).
- 6Dab top corner with some yolk, then tightly roll up wedge away from you, making sure ends stay tucked inside. (Be sure to roll up wedges tightly or air pockets will prevent rolls from browning evenly when fried.) Put roll, seam side down, on tray and loosely cover with plastic wrap. Make more rolls in same manner, transferring to tray and arranging 1/2 inch apart. Keep loosely covered until ready to fry.
- 7Heat about 1 inch of oil in a 5- to 6-quart pot over moderately high heat until it registers 365°F on thermometer. Fry rolls in batches of 5 or 6, keeping rolls apart during first minute of frying to prevent sticking and stirring occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through, 5 to 6 minutes. Transfer as fried with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain.
