Senators warn Kerry: Syria can't become another Iraq (+video)
A Senate hearing about potential military strikes against Syria was dominated by discussion about Iraq. Secretary of State John Kerry promised there would be no ground troops.
The first congressional hearing on President Obama's request to use military force in Syria showcased the deep and bitter legacy of the Iraq war, as one senator after the other demanded that any authorization specifically rule out any recourse to American boots on the ground.
The Tuesday afternoon hearing of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee revealed the varying concerns of different factions in Congress – concerns that range from wanting any US action to assist the Syrian rebels in bringing down President Bashar al-Assad to worrying that even limited military action could aid America's enemies, including Al Qaeda elements in Syria.
But the echo of Iraq – and the demand that Syria not become another quagmire – dominated more than three hours of discussion.
Secretary of State John Kerry acknowledged Iraq's shadow when he said he understood congressional reluctance to authorize the use of force based on intelligence assessments that the Assad regime used chemical weapons against civilians on Aug. 21. He was seated next to Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel – who, like him, voted as a senator in 2003 to authorize the invasion of Iraq. "We are especially sensitive, Chuck and I, to never again asking any member of Congress to take a vote on faulty intelligence," Secretary Kerry said.

We recently purchased this bed for my 18 month son. It took my husband and I about 2 hours to assemble; the instructions were clear and concise, but there is a lot of little assembling. It is fabricated out of pressed and composite wood and plastic sliders for the drawers. Also the drawer bottoms are flimsy before being inserted into the drawer, but seems like it will hold. After it was finished, the bed was stable and supportive. We also purchased the 9-inch Select-A-Firmness Twin-size Memory Foam Mattress, and it fits great. Our only concern is the longevity of the bed. Overall, we are pleased, and the price was right.
First time I have ever order from overstock, and I must say we were thrill with the twin bed. We bought it for our 22 year old son. He had a queen bed, but his room is small and the queen bed took up too much room, so he asked for a twin bed. He loves the bed. It is not jiust for small kids, if our 22 year old can use it anyone can . Tbe drawers are just perfect.
My daughter had assembled most of the bed by the time I'd gotten home to help her with it. My grandson is delighted with it. It's not too big, not too small, but just right! Assembly instructions were easy to follow and required just a couple of simple tools and some good old-fashioned elbow grease. Great value for the money!
This bed is perfect for my 5 year-old son. It shipped promptly and arrived in a well-packed box. My son has slept on the bed for two weeks and just loves it. It supports his twin mattress perfectly and the drawers are sturdy enough to handle his roughness. It is an attractive piece of simple furniture that stores his clothes and some toys generously.The only negative regards the assembly. While the instructions were easy, the assembly required a screw driver (not included) and movement of some heavy pieces. If you don't have a cordless screw driver the amount of screws required in assembly may get tiresome. The weight of the pieces would make it difficult for a single mom to assemble.
Starting to fall appart, the humidity is warping the the boards where the mattress sits
I am more than pleased with the purchase of this mate's bed! My 6 year old grandson loves it and he has plenty of room for the upcoming years! The twin mattress purchsed elsewhere fits the bed well. The storage drawers bring welcomed space for blankets or toys. My grandson is enjoying his full sized bed. It's sturdy enough to handle his rough housing and compliments the other pine pieces in the room. It took both of his parents to put it together but they are pleased with the results.
These beds are for adults in our country cottage, delivery was fast and putting the beds together was average.
Yeaaaa...! it went gr8 with my sons rooms other furniture, same shade pine... was gr8 and eeeeeeeeeeeasy to build, i did it all by myself ... no help needed frm a second person... proud to do it alone !!!!!! awsome to recommend to others... 5 yr old sleeps on it already lol!!!!!!!!!
Purchased 2 for our spare bedroom, great assembly instructions and quality for the price. My grandsons love them.

'Dancing With the Stars' Names New Showrunner
Former "X Factor" and "America's Got Talent" EP Rob Wade will take the reins from longtime topper Conrad Green, who departs at the end of the current cycle for Fox's "Utopia."
In anticipation of an official pickup for the 19th season of Dancing With the Stars, ABC and BBC Worldwide Productions have tapped veteran reality TV producer Rob Wade to take over showrunning duties from Conrad Green.
An alum of the reality competition, Wade worked as a producer on DWTS during the first four seasons and co-executive producer under Green between seasons five and 11. The former head of TV at Syco Entertainment North America most recently executive produced Fox's The X Factor and NBC's America's Got Talent.
"I am delighted to be rejoining the show and one of the strongest teams on network television," said Wade. "Dancing With the Stars is in great shape and I look forward to getting back in the ballroom and working with [executive producers] Joe [Sungkur] and Ashley [Edens-Shaffer] to take it to the next level."
Current boss Green -- who has helmed the mirrorball mothership from the series' start in 2005 -- will waltz out of the ballroom at the end of the current run to join Fox's upcoming Utopia as an executive producer. The last few seasons of DWTS have seen Green try to skew the series younger, infusing the broadcast with more contemporary music, tapping former contestant Erin Andrews as co-host and implementing new ways to encourage viewer interaction.
"Rob was a part of the Dancing With the Stars family from the very beginning and in our mind, there was no one who made more sense to come aboard and take the show into its next era than him," added BBC Worldwide Productions head Jane Tranter. "His immense experience and creativity across live television only further demonstrates that he has what it takes to keep DWTS at the top."
DWTS has not yet been renewed for the 2014-15 season, but a return to the ABC schedule seems like a foregone conclusion. The series still occupies two hours of each Monday during fall and spring cycles, after the network trimmed the Tuesday results show last year.

Texas Rangers: Ben Sheets
Oakland A's starter Ben Sheets, who went on the 15-day disabled list Saturday, is out for the year with a torn flexor in his right elbow. Los Angeles Angels starter Joel Pineiro strained a muscle in his left side warming up before Wednesday's game and is out 6-8 weeks.
Sheets was signed to a one-year, $10 million contract by the A's in the offseason. For that investment, they got a 4-9 record with a 4.53 ERA in 20 starts. Sheets' injury was confirmed by Rangers team physician Dr. Keith Meister.
Pineiro, the Angels' leader in victories, is 10-7 with a 4.18 ERA.
The Angels had a bit of good news, however. Dan Haren, who was acquired from Arizona then left his Angels debut after being hit by a line drive, pitched a bullpen session Wednesday and pronounced himself fit for Saturday's scheduled start against the Rangers.
Pending the result of Wednesday night's Rangers-A's game, Texas had an 8 1/2-game lead on Oakland and a nine-game lead over the Angels, who lost to Boston in an afternoon game.
Mound matchup: Wilson vs. Sheets
Wilson (3-1, 1.51 ERA): The 29-year-old Wilson is coming off his first complete-game victory, allowing five hits and one earned run on 113 pitches in a 4-1 win against Kansas City on Friday. The left-hander, the current ERA leader in the American League, is the first lefty in club history to open a season with six consecutive quality starts. He has matched another personal-best this season with three consecutive decisions, and is tied with Colby Lewis for most victories by a Texas starter (3). Wilson has not allowed a home run in 41 appearances in Arlington since the beginning of the 2009 season.
Ben Sheets (2-3, 6.38 ERA): Sheets, making his eighth start of the season, has struggled on the road, going 0-2 with a 13.50 ERA and a .446 opponent's batting average away from home. In addition, he has yielded five of his six home runs on the road. Sheets won his last start against Tampa Bay, but he allowed 17 runs in his prior two starts. He has started just one game against the Rangers, a 4-3 Milwaukee loss at Texas in June 2007. In that contest, he pitched seven innings allowing five hits and no earned runs.
Hitters: While Oakland's Cliff Pennington, Eric Patterson, Landon Powell and Daric Barton have yet to record a hit against C.J. Wilson, a few A's sluggers have had success against the Rangers' left-hander. Eric Chavez is 3-7 in his career against Wilson with a home run and two RBIs, Rajai Davis is 2-4 with two RBIs, and Ryan Sweeney is 2-3. Only three Texas batters have faced Sheets: Vladimir Guerrero is 7-18 with one home run and four RBIs, Michael Young is 1-3 and Ian Kinsler is 0-3.
Is Oakland's Sheets tipping his pitches?
Is Oakland pitcher Ben Sheets tipping his pitches, most notably his curveball? In his last two starts, spanning 7 1/3 innings, Sheets has been shelled for 17 runs on 19 hits. ESPN The Magazine's Buster Olney discusses.
Side note: The Rangers will miss Sheets on this trip to Oakland, and quite possibly during the A's trip to Arlington on May 11-13. He's next scheduled to start Saturday against Tampa Bay.
AL West Update: Ben Sheets and the A's
When the Athletics spent $10 million on a one-year contract for Sheets, they were betting on a return to form by the pitcher who made four All-Star teams while with Milwaukee, struck out 264 batters at age 25 and averaged 225 innings during a three-year stretch with the Brewers.
And if Sheets isn't vintage Big Ben or Oakland fades from American League West contention by July, general manager Billy Beane will try to flip him at the trade deadline, and Sheets will swap his Kelly green, Fort Knox gold and wedding-gown white for a contending team's colors.
The column continues later with this:
The signing was momentous enough that several A's remembered precisely where they were when they got the news. Manager Bob Geren was having a flat tire repaired when Beane called, and he had to step outside to escape the noise from his lug nuts being removed.
Braden was so excited, he tracked down Sheets' phone number and sent his new teammate a "Welcome to Oakland '' text message. To his delight, Sheets responded almost immediately.
"He told me, 'I want you to get your working boots on, because it's going to be a fun year,'" Braden said. "That was awesome to hear. Here's a four-time All-Star texting me back when he's got nothing invested yet. And he's ready to work. You hear that and you know you've got the right guy.''
So clearly the A's are excited. Click here for a quick look at Sheets' value in the A's rotation.
Did the Rangers miss out on Sheets?
But the deal was one year at $10 million. A few folks I talked to thought Sheets would get a similar deal to what Rich Harden got from the Rangers. Apparently not. Harden got $7.5 million with a club option for 2011.
Is Sheets worth the money? That's hard to say. When he's healthy, he has ace-type stuff. It's why the Rangers had a two-year agreement in place with him last offseason before he failed a physical and required surgery.
But $10 million sure seems like a lot for a guy just coming back off that surgery after missing 2009. And while the Rangers were interested -- they made no secret about that -- the pricetag was too high.
Do you think the Rangers really missed out on a great opportunity? Or did the A's overpay?
Rangers watch Sheets throw
Jeff Hanisch/US Presswire
Ben Sheets could bolster the Rangers' deep lineup of pitchers.
One report said pitching coach Mike Maddux was in attendance, watching Sheets throw 20 fastballs (topping out at 91 mph) and a bunch of curve balls as well. The report quoted one scout as saying Sheets "looked good physically."
The Rangers are long shots on Sheets at this point. They have spent most of the money in their budget. But you can never completely count them out as we've seen this offseason. General manager Jon Daniels can get creative. Sheets does appear to have plenty of suitors right now as he tries to make his comeback.
Are you OK with the Rangers' pitching situation entering spring training? Do you want Sheets?
Rangers met with Ben Sheets' agent
INDIANAPOLIS -- The Texas Rangers met with Casey Close, the agent for Ben Sheets, on Tuesday, according to a league source.
Sheets, 31, is recovering from elbow surgery last season. He rehabbed for most of 2009 in Arlington, working with Rangers physician Dr. Keith Meister. The Rangers did get some medical records on Sheets and are reviewing them.
The Rangers had a deal in place with Sheets last offseason before the pitcher failed a physical and opted for surgery. He interests the club if they can structure a deal that includes some incentive-based bonuses that give the team some protection if he isn't completely healthy.
Sheets could be the type of free agent who isn't signed until later in the offseason once he has a better idea of his market value and if teams get a chance to see him throw.
Rangers want to talk to Sheets' agent
INDIANAPOLIS -- Texas Rangers general manager Jon Daniels said he is trying to set up a meeting with Casey Close, the agent for pitcher Ben Sheets. The Rangers would like to meet with Close before the winter meetings end to get an update on how Sheets is progressing after elbow surgery.
The club had a deal in place with Sheets last offseason, but he failed a physical. Sheets had surgery and missed the 2009 season. He did his rehab work in Arlington with Dr. Keith Meister, the club's team physician, during the season.
"Like we would with any player, we want to find out where the player is physically," Daniels said.
Daniels said that the normal homework process is to see a pitcher throw and looks at the medical records.
"Those are typically the types of things you want to do on a guy that is coming back from injury," Daniels said.
Sheets, 31, could be looking for a similar deal to the one he had in place last season, which was some guaranteed money and some incentives for innings pitched and other benchmarks to prove he's healthy.
Millwood continuing to receive interest
INDIANAPOLIS -- Several clubs have talked to the Rangers about Kevin Millwood, who will make $12 million this season in the final year of his contract. And there is certainly some interest. That list includes Baltimore (but that deal may have faded some) and, according to various reports, Arizona. It doesn't appear the Mets are interested at this time. Texas would look at getting some pitching prospects in return.
Should the Rangers move Millwood, the club could use some of the money saved from the trade to get another veteran starting pitcher, possibly Ben Sheets or Rich Harden. Both are coming off injury concerns. Word is that Sheets hasn't thrown for teams yet and getting medical records on him isn't easy right now. That could be an attempt to wait to see if the market goes up later this offseason. He spent 2009 rehabbing from surgery in Arlington. The Rangers had a deal with Sheets last offseason before he failed a physical. Harden was shut down in Sepetember because of shoulder fatigue.
The team also needs a right-handed bat and some of the financial flexibility from getting rid of Millwood's salary could go toward names like Vladimir Guerrero or Jermaine Dye, both players the Rangers are interested in.

Seiko Epson takes a big leap in OLED screen technology
By Mick Webb
May 28, 2009
May 28, 2009 Could the end be nigh for plasma and LCD screens? Seiko Epson has recently announced a further development in ink-jet technology, which does away with some of the problems still dogging the much-vaunted organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display technology. In particular, Seiko Epson has signaled it is moving toward a 37-inch HD OLED screen by creating a uniform deposit of organic material while removing the uneven layering of the ink-jet method.
To date, OLED technology has been used for smaller-scale screens, due to an inability to reliably form uniform organic layers on larger panels or substrates, as they are known. Until recently the most widely used process for depositing organic materials was vacuum thermal evaporation (VTE). This method, however, is fraught with technical complications and is one of the main reasons that mass production has been hindered.
Using its Micro Piezo ink-jet technology, Epson has come up with a process that achieves vastly better accuracy in depositing organic material. Trials using the same "drop on demand" approach as an ink-jet printer were found to create uniform layers with less than 1 percent volume error. This was achieved by controlling the precise ejection of different sized droplets of ink onto a substrate and using only the required volume of material.
What could well be the next big thing in television technology has several benefits going for it. OLED televisions eliminate ghosting, are high-contrast, have a fast response time and a wide-viewing angle. They are very thin, lightweight and, as they don't require a backlight, are less power-hungry and so environmentally kinder. Ink-jets use materials efficiently, reducing manufacturer and, ultimately, consumer cost. On the flipside, however, these screens are likely to have shorter lifespans than their predecessors.
Seiko Epson is planning to exhibit a 14-inch OLED display at the upcoming SID 2009 exhibition.

HydroICE Project Developing a Solar-Powered Combustion Engine 144

The last comment at the bottom of the article is a post by one of the project team, linking to a FAQ written in response to the comments.
http://hydroice.wordpress.com/ [wordpress.com]
It's not being burned, it's only being used as a heat carrier. Seems to me it would be more efficient to just heat the water directly, and use it in a steam turbine. What am I missing here?
The hydraulics. I can't be bothered to crack open a steam table at this time of day, but a substantial sized tank of stored 500F water is going to be ridiculously thick walled and heavy... 500F oil can be more or less unpressurized.
Reading the article I'm not sure what "oil" they're using. Cheap canola oil isn't going to like 500F however asphalt isn't going to like being piped around at room temp.
The journalist articles don't detail it, but stereotypically there is a huge insulated front end tank being heated by panels so you can run the engine at midnight. Usually its a couple orders of magnitude cheaper to redesign the system to not require operation at midnight, but thats a higher level system failure.
I just read TFA, and what is described is in no way a combustion engine. Nothing is combusted.
They seem to carefully avoid mentioning it, but most oils when preheated to 700 degrees F (holy cow) and atomized in air will burn pretty well. Probably the water addition is to prevent the cylinder walls from melting, or more likely prevent them from looking like a well seasoned cast iron pan (which would have serious issues WRT cylinder rings)
diesel's autoignition point (not flash point, you're already mechanically atomizing the vapor) is only like 400 degrees F.
diesel has a somewhat lower autoignition point than gasoline, but gasoline has a much lower flash point than diesel, weird but true.
They seem to carefully avoid mentioning it, but most oils when preheated to 700 degrees F (holy cow) and atomized in air will burn pretty well. Probably the water addition is to prevent the cylinder walls from melting, or more likely prevent them from looking like a well seasoned cast iron pan (which would have serious issues WRT cylinder rings)
I don't think you read the article carefully enough.
1. hot oil + water = instant steam
2. steam pushes the piston down
3. the oil + steam get recycled
The only input is solar energy to heat the oil.
The rest of the system works on a closed loop.
Not really. You could turn photovoltaic power into heat energy (with a resistor), and use it to heat up a molten salt, but the efficiency losses and the cost of turning this back into electrical power is absurd.
stirling engines are extremely precise machines
What, their fuel injectors? Old fashioned mechanical carburators?
A Stirling engine [wikipedia.org] is *not* what you find inside any typical car. A Stirling engine is an external combustion engine (the heat source is provided from outside the engine) rather than the internal combustion engines (Otto cycle [wikipedia.org] for gasoline cars and Diesel cycle [wikipedia.org] for diesel vehicles) typically used. A Stirling engine has neither fuel injectors nor carburators - as an external combustion engine, it doesn't need to get fuel into the cylinders.

My Father, My Hero
BY Jase Peeples
June 14 2013 3:00 AM ET
Father's Day is an opportunity for many of us to celebrate one of the most important men in our lives, our dads. From fathers who have gone to extraordinary lengths to build their families to those who have become powerful advocates in memory of their LGBT children who have passed away, join us as we take a look back at the stories of a few amazing fathers whose unconditional love and support have touched thousands of people over the past year.
Dad Stands Behind Bullied Son on Facebook, Gets School Response
When school administrators and local officials wouldn't take his son's claims of bullying seriously, Matthew Bent turned to Facebook by posting a photo of himself standing behind his son holding a sign that read, "I stand behind my son in the fight against bullying! Please 'like' and 'share' to send a message loud and clear that bullying needs to stop now! Tell school districts that protecting bullies by turning a blind eye is wrong! Shame on Kaukauna area schools for protecting a bully in their school!"
After the photo went viral, with nearly half a million likes and shares, the boy's school responded and not only disciplined the students involved but announced plans to update the district's antibullying resources in response to the incident as well.
Watch the Bents tell their story to Matt Lauer on Today below and read The Advocate's full coverage of the incident here.

Is this a real cultivar or just a generic name? The printed tag says they have a little spice. Are these really considered to be a hot pepper? Or maybe just similar to a 'Cubanelle'?
Tomatogrowers has one called Italian Roaster II Hybrid.
Here is a link that might be useful: Italian Roaster II Hybrid
I bought an Italian Roaster Pepper plant Spring 2013, and LOVED how it produced. Cannot find it in any seed catalogs or on the web....found the IR II Hybrid that was mentioned above, but really want to be sure that it is what I grew last summer. I bought it at a Fred Meyer, so trying to locate it via the purchaser for the big chain might be impossible. I'd love to hear anyone's thoughts on this variety, and whether or not you think I might find it again? Thanks....

Needing advice re: two houses, not enough $$
I currently own 2 homes -- the one I live in (the good house) and house 2 (let's call it the evil house). The reason I own the evil house is my ex and I bought it in 2000. We split in 2005 and 'sold' the house as an owner-finance to a flake. Said Flake abandoned ship in 08/08, leaving a disaster in her wake (hideous paint inside, broken everything, missing stove, no home maintenance, etc.). Ex and I tried to work together to get things sorted (we had both purchased our own homes by then) -- anyway, we could NOT work together. I ended up refinancing without him, investment loan, interest only, 1 year renewable for 3 years. Mortgage is for $151K, which included refi charges and $9K that was used to fix the house. In addition, I spent another $15K on improvements, along with 5 months of paying two mortgages. Improvements included new HVAC, hardwood floors, granite in kitchen/bath, new toilets, new appliances, new lighting, new door hardware, new garage door, new screened porch doors and screen, painting inside and out, custom paint/glaze on kitchen cabinets, new carpet in bedrooms, landscaping and sod. And, yes, a new kitchen sink (and fixtures!).
Finally was able to rent the evil house in May to a couple who was 'very interested' in buying the house down the road.
Unfortunately, one week (yes, ONE week) after the renter moved in, the huge retaining wall blew out to the tune of $25K (plus killing the 3K in sod that had JUST been put down). In the meantime, the market went down, down, down, along with home values. Every time I turn around, the house seems to need something replaced/repaired/fixed. I already have $50K+ in this house that I don't believe I will ever see again. Very little is selling in my area, and there are houses in my price range that are brand-new, and used to list for $100K more (lots of competition). My evil house is 20 years old. It probably will need a new roof and siding in the near future, could use new windows, and the new HVAC system is not cooling properly (though sized right). The renter says several doors no longer close properly (we fixed that issue once), there is a place in the house where the drywall is about 1/2 inch separated from the ceiling, and he thinks there is a foundation problem. Another $300+ for an inspector to find out...
The point is, I cannot afford to put any more money into this money pit. I was planning on working with a real estate agent beginning in February to try and sell it (but I am not optimistic). The idea of mailing the keys to the bank and walking away is really tempting. I have considered that I might could do a short sale (but I have no idea if I can get any offers). I have a good job, but they are furloughing us, and will most likely do more of the same (to the tune of $400+ less income a month). The renter does cover the mortgage, but he leaves in May. I still owe for the retaining wall and prior medical bills, plus my son just started school. I also have about $18K in unsecured debt. I can handle my bills, up until I add that second mortgage back.
So, do I try to sell? Walk away? Talk to the bank, tell them the renter is there until May and good luck? Go for the short sale? Try for a deed in lieu? (not likely as I'm in GA). I don't want to walk away and still owe for the house. I could technically qualify for Chapter 7 bankruptcy (according to the questionnaire on NOLO website), but I don't want to file for bankruptcy.
Ugh. Any suggestions? Besides the financial concern, it is so stressful waiting for the next problem with the house. The last ones happened on my birthday, Christmas day, New Year's day, and the days after (mostly because of the extreme cold snap and my renter's refusal to accept that heat pumps don't do well in these temps).
What is the 'right' thing to do? What would YOU do, in my situation?
Feel free to blast me, but I know I have made mistake after mistake in this situation. I thought I was doing the right thing (refi) and the smart thing (improvements) -- turns out I was completely wrong. Oh, and I absolutely suck at being a landlord and despise being one!
I'm not sure what the best course is for you, but I do want to say it's not fair to beat yourself up about this. I've made my share of financial decisions that looked good at the time and later didn't look so good. You've had a run of bad luck, but the pickle you're in is not the result of obviously bad decisions or stupidity. I'm sorry for you, and realize it's hard to be upbeat about this, but at least don't needlessly get down on yourself. Bankruptcy filing may be the best choice, but you need professional advice from someone who can look at all the specifics in light of your financial situation and the real estate market in your area. If I were you -- even though I know money is tight -- I'd pay for an hour appointment with a bankruptcy attorney: it could really help point you in the right direction and help you decide if that may or may not be your best recourse. You could also see about getting some credit counseling advice from a non-profit or government agency; however, be very careful here. There are many for profit businesses that pose as free services but get big fees and do little, or scam you. You are in a vulnerable position because you are stressed, so don't let that cloud your judgment, particularly if someone is offering promises that make you complex situation sound easy to resolve. I don't know what kind of city services you have, but one thing you can do is call the mayor's office and see if they can give you referrals to city agencies or other groups that can give you reliable counseling and not take advantage of you. Good luck. Here is a link that may give you some useful info.

Thanks you so much for your words of comfort. It is hard not to feel like an idiot -- worse, I feel horrible because the only way I see out is to dump my responsibility (or else I might end up losing everything). Your advice is sound -- I have a friend who should be able to point me towards a bankruptcy attorney I could talk to in my area.
Thanks again.
** Update**
Well, the news just gets better. Turns out there is a significant issue with the foundation, which is not covered by insurance. The problem is caused by the rising water table, which is not covered. No flood insurance (it's built on a hill, not a flood zone at all -- never even really thought about it).
So, now I have a house I put $50K+ into that probably was worth at least $20K less than the mortgage (which does NOT include the $50K) BEFORE the foundation issue. I don't have the money to fix the foundation (did I mention I am having surgery in 2 weeks for a torn ACL to the tune of $3K after insurance pays?).
At this point, the advice I have gotten is to collect the rent from my tenant and use the money for my medical bills, stop paying the mortgage, and offer the bank a deed in lieu or to give the home back and HOPE they don't come after me for the deficiency (if they did, I'd have to declare bankruptcy, which I don't want to do).
Is that what I should do? Should I try to sell it in the meantime (with the foundation issues)?
To add to my embarrassment -- I've never had an investment loan before, and (yes, I know it is really unbelievably dumb), I forgot to pay the property tax! I've always had that wrapped into a mortgage and I just did not think about it. Ugh.
To potentially complicate things -- the loan I have is a 12 month renewable, and I signed the renewal papers yesterday. I did not know what else to do. A mortgage broker friend said just sign them and don't say anything until I heard about the foundation (which we thought would be a week or two -- the loan was due on January 5th).
Well, at least I still have my job (for the moment).
Calgon, take me away!
I listen to Dave Ramsey on the radio, this is a typical question he gets asked. The last time he said,"sell the house." If you only get $120K then you only owe $30K and you CAN make the payments on $30K......so your credit won't be ruined and no one will be coming after you.
Here is a link that might be useful: Dave Ramsey link to ask a question...
When you sell a house the loan has to be paid in full. I'm curious as to where Nicole (or Ramsey) recommends getting the extra 30K to pay it off at closing.
Just wondering...I'm also the owner of an "evil house", but once that has not had the maintenance issues experienced by the OP. Mine is rented, but the rent doesn't cover the mortgage on it--just helps slow the bleeding.
Nicole -- I don't think I could get $120K for the house -- maybe before the foundation issues. Other houses in the neighborhood have sold in the $130K range (sans foundation issues) -- probably more like 90-100K? Not to mention NOTHING is selling (so it seems) in my area. My renters will be gone in May and I cannot cover 2 mortgages. I have already invested $50K in the house that I have lost.
If I could find a buyer, I would be willing to approach the bank for a Short Sale -- if they accepted, hopefully they would agree not to pursue the discrepancy (the difference between the mortgage and selling price). But, who would buy a house with major foundation issues (when there are so many healthy houses for sale so cheap)?
Revamp -- sorry to hear you also have an 'evil' house! It's no fun. I keep hoping mine will get struck by lightening or something (with no one inside, of course!). It's worth a lot more dead than alive! Hang in there! Maybe we'll both get lucky. :)
what....you have 2 houses....so take out the 30K loan on the house your living in. A short sale does effect your credit, so it would be a last resort, but doable if needed. If it's the water table that's effecting your house, chances are all the homes around it are effected. So if someone wants to live in this area they buy a home and put in a sump pump. Oddly enough people will buy a house with problems because they like it. It's an emotional decision....."the house needs me." Put it on the market ASAP so you can get rid of this money pit!
wow.....sorry to hear that revamp. I really "do" understand. Sell whatever you can and try to get out of debt. I'm into the Dave Ramsey thing. Maybe I can turn you on to this guy and he can help you? It's a debt free lifestyle and I've embraced the idea from the get go. It's very liberating not to owe money. Dave Ramsey is on the radio, on TV and has seminars and books.
Here is a link that might be useful: Dave Ramsey help......
No need to drink the kool-aid here. Dave Ramsey has done a lot of good for people who otherwise would still be financially lost, but his type of intervention (all cash, no debt) just isn't the best advice for people who are able to responsibly handle credit.
I hope the economy turns around and I can get out from under the burden of being a landlord (not my idea of fun), but in the meantime the bills are paid and I hold only "good" debt in my name (mortgage, student loans).
Congrats on your accomplishment of debt free living--it's not a claim many can make nowadays.
Nicole --
I'm with revamp -- there is no equity to tap into in the house I live in.
I think Dave Ramsey is great -- actually, he's a friend of the family and a super nice guy. I would love to be debt free - unfortunately, the last 3 years have been one financial disaster after another (divorce, ex basically stealing $30K, car catching on fire and totalled, 3 months out of work, medical bills, and the 'evil' house). Realize that the debt I have now is directly connected to the money I have put into the 'evil' house.
I have pretty much decided the only thing I can do is give the house back to the bank. It is probably not the MOST responsible thing, but I am not willing to lose everything I have (including the home I live in) for the 'evil' house. The foundation issue is the last straw for me. I am going to focus on repaying the money I owe because of the retaining wall and my other debt.
Right or wrong, I guess I am justifying giving it back because I feel like I have done everything I can to get the house in shape and sell it. I made mistakes, but I really felt like what I was doing was the right thing. I am giving the bank a house I put $50K into that I will never get back.
Ultimately, I hope that the guilt of defaulting on the loan will be overshadowed by the relief of not having the financial and emotional pressure of owning two homes and being a landlord.
Revamp -- thanks again for the sympathy. I hope you are able to sell your 'evil' house soon!
You are doing the right thing.
WHen it comes right down to it, it's only money.
THey can't get blood out of a stone.
I totally understand your situation, so do it and don't look back.
Regret is a double negative, so happier days are in front of you!
Good Luck to you.
If you can get out from under this house, you should. However, don't think that giving the keys to the bank is going to clear this debt. If you have other assets, they will come after you for their losses. Your best bet is to negotiate with the lender for a short sale. If they agree, you'll walk away relatively intact.
Not to beat a dead horse, but your mistakes with this rental started way before the foundation. You spent way to much on improving a rental. 50k in cosmetic improvements on a 100k house doesn't make economic sense even in a good rental market. There isn't anything you can do about that now, but maybe someone reading this won't make the same mistake. If you are going to own rental property, the only way to make money is to keep your expenses low. The margins are inherently tight as is, so every extra expense just takes money out of your pocket.
thanks Jane and butterfly -- I appreciate the encouragement.
Bill --
Fortunately (really, unfortunately) I do not have any assets for them to come after. In fact, I meet the requirements to file Chapter 7 if I wanted to (I don't).
I know I made mistakes with the house -- although when I refinanced (to get rid of ex), the house appraised for $190K (which even I thought was high!). I knew I would put around $20K into it, but I really thought I could get it back. Then the market turned, repairs cost more than I anticipated, and the retaining wall (1500 square feet of it) gave up the ghost (definitely NOT planned on -- $25K). I never wanted to be a landlord (and freely admit I suck at it). I did not want to have a rental -- I just rented it out because it did not sell. :) I will NEVER again have a rental or be a landlord -- I am just not cut out for this sort of thing.
If I had to do it again, I would have painted the house and tried to sell it as-is (without the financial investment) and taken what I could get for the house. You are right -- I did it all wrong. Expensive lesson!
I am hoping the bank will agree to forgive whatever discrepancy there might be once they sell the house. If not, I will most likely have to file bankruptcy. Ugh.
I hope someone can learn from my mistakes! :) I like to think I have!
OP - You need to get out from under this house, if for nothing else, for your own mental sanity. Your stress and worry over this situation comes through very clearly in your posts. Yes, you've made mistakes -- don't we all! -- but you need to let them go and address the situation now. Beating yourself up over it won't help.
If it were my house, I would find an agent with a lot of experience with short sales. Short sales are generally pretty painful for the buyer. If the bank agrees to a short sale and you get the paperwork done and the bank to agree to a sales price, it will be more attractive to a potential buyer.
If you are in a non-disclosure state you DO NOT VOLUNTEER INFORMATION about the condition. If you are specifically asked questions, of course you need to answer them honestly.
If your credit can take it, it is possible to do a short sale and agree to pay the bank all or part of the loss as an unsecured loan. Owing the bank $30k (or whatever) after the home is sold may be the least painless way out for you.
