'Transfer' is appears on the Navigation touchscreen while you are in a call. If you don't have the Navi system, I think you can transfer with a voice command. If there's another way it should be in the owners manual.

I don't have the touchscreen navi system, everything appears on the backup camera screen. I still can't find the transfer button though but everything you mentioned completely matches up with my situation

I want to thank everyone for all of the ideas regarding the Iphone5 and incoming calls in my Honda CRV. I have tried everything that has been suggested, to no avail. I have called Honda and Apple, again, to no avail. In reading a lot of the posts with the same issue, it appears this issue is consistent with a wide variety of vehicles. This leads me to believe, it's an Apple issue. The only thing I haven't tried is to "stand on my head and spit purple icecubes"......guess that's next.

I have a 2013 cr-v, RES (no NAVI). Page 217 of the manual (with pictures) shows that you: 1. Press the Phone button (center button on the left side controls on the steering wheels; 2. Rotate the "Select Ring" (I dont' know what to call it) to Transfer Call, then press Select. I'm going to try it later today.

I got my Iphone 5 in December and just bought a 2013 Honda CRV. My bluetooth works great with Pandora and music plus I can make outgoing calls. If anyone calls me, the calls are muted. I tried some of the things that have been suggested -- I set my phone lock to "never" and had my husband call me while I was in the car. I pressed the incoming call button twice and it worked!!! We tried it again with my pressing the incoming call button once and it was muted. Might want to try that. Hopefully, it will work tomorrow!!!
Zach3000 Jan 20, 2013 5:52 PM
in response to abhi_
There is an auto-transfer but it's not working properly. Some people in this forum have had success with pushing the incoming call button twice. So, you might give that a try. It hasn't worked for me, but that may be due to a difference between the systems with and without Navi.

Now I understand what you mean by transfer. I don't have navi on my 2013 CR-V.
The workaround I posted on January 12 is no longer working! Now, if I tap Answer on the iPhone 5, then select Audio Source>Handsfree Link, the incoming call is connected.
That is, if the caller has not given up and hung up!
Bruce2125 Jan 23, 2013 8:20 PM

I have discovered a workaround for the issue which may be of use to other IOS6/iPhone5 users.
I found that by going to Preferences/General/Accessibility/Physical and Motor/Incoming Calls and changing it from Default to Headset forces the iPhone to use the 'Headset' if one is available for incoming calls. As the bluetooth speaker on the handsfree is effectively a 'Headset' incoming calls are directed to the bluetooth speaker. When the phone is out of the car and the handsfree disconnects itself the phone behaves normally.
jzack78 Jan 24, 2013 12:28 AM
in response to Bruce2125
It does not work like that with my device. Since no solution found what works best for me is directing the incoming calls to "speaker" instead of "headset". I answer the call and start talking through phone speaker.
After few seconds " Transfer to car " appears on the device screen. By pushing "Transferto car" i continue
the call via car speakers as should be.

Have same problem with my 2013 Mazda CX-5 LTD diesel .Can not answer incoming calls with either my wife's or my iPhone5'.
Seems like a classic case of the corporate giants taking the money and to he'll with the consequences. Poor old consumer gets whacked again. I don't care who is at fault . I just wish they would pull finger and solve the problem like any "RESPONSIBLE" corporate should.
Bruce2125 Jan 25, 2013 2:42 AM

Have you tried the workaround above - Preferences/General/Accessibility/Physical and Motor/Incoming Calls
jzack78 Jan 25, 2013 7:13 AM
in response to sa1sadanc3r
Joehunt - Agree with you. I think Apple owe an explenation to Iphone 5 users. So far i did not see any response
by Apple. I have same problem with 2013 Mazda CX5 . none of the solution offered here works. The only
partial solution works for me is the oneI described here above.
mallocup13 Jan 25, 2013 11:04 AM
in response to jzack78
It seems awfully difficult to update the firmware in the various car models that dislike the iPhone 5. Would it be possible to create an app that would serve as the interface between the car and the phone? Much easier for both Apple and the car manufacturers to update an app, I think.
In the meantime, my workaround continues to work, select headset for incoming calls, when call comes in, tap answer on phone, audio source on phone, and tap Handsfreelink on phone.
If any app developers are out there who could weigh in, I'd like to hear from you!
PNutts Jan 25, 2013 1:07 PM

Bruce2125 - It worked! Thank you for that workaround. For those who didn't scroll up I have a Honda 2013 CR-V. Well done, sir.

Efforts to Promote Energy Storage Should Look to the States
This past week U.S. Reps. Chris Gibson (R-NY) and Mike Thompson (D-CA) introduced legislation that would create an investment tax credit (ITC) for energy storage technologies of all types. Their bill, the Storage Technology for Renewable and Green Energy Act (STORAGE) Act (H.R. 4096), is the House companion legislation to S. 1845, introduced by Sens. Ron Wyden (D-OR), Jeff Bingaman (D-NM), and Susan Collins (R-ME).
The STORAGE Act is helpful in highlighting the need for government support of energy storage technology. That support is needed if energy storage is to move from being a theoretical resource to being a useful and cost-effective tool on the grid. Congress should take note of the production tax credit's (PTC) great success in transforming wind energy over the last two decades from an esoteric and uneconomic source of electricity into a significant contributor of power to the grid and the lowest cost option for new electricity generation in many areas. That same success can undoubtedly be duplicated in the area of energy storage.
Unfortunately, because of the political impasse in Washington, the STORAGE Act is unlikely to be called for a vote, let alone to be enacted, any time before the general elections next November. That impasse, however, should be a call to action, not resignation.
Many of the barriers to deploying distributed energy storage arise, not from a lack of federal policy, but from inconsistent and antiquated state regulations that restrict how storage and other assets located on the distribution portion of the grid can be owned and used. While local regulation of purely local electricity service makes sense, as technology increasingly permits assets located on local distribution systems to impact the larger, national electricity grid, the inconsistencies and antiquated nature of many local regulatory schemes becomes an increasingly critical issue. The storage industry should spend this period of impasse in Washington addressing that issue.
One possible model for modernizing and making more uniform state regulations which inhibit the deployment of energy storage and smart grid technology is the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws (NCCUSL). In the late 19th Century, it became apparent that wide variations in laws between separate states created confusion and inhibited commerce. The solution was the creation of the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws (NCCUSL).
The NCCUSL consists of commissioners appointed by each state. It drafts model legislation, or uniform acts, which individual states can choose to adopt, and often do. The best known of these model acts is the Uniform Commercial Code, which has been adopted by all 50 states with only minor variations.
A national conference of utility regulatory law experts tasked with making state utility regulations more uniform in order to accelerate the deployment of energy storage and smart grid technologies on a national basis would be a worthwhile effort. The FERC and the U.S. Department of Energy would do well to seed such a project with funds and counsel.
As Rahm Emanuel once remarked, you never want a serious crisis to go to waste. We should use the crisis of the impasse in Washington to advance the cause of energy storage technology where we can. That place, for the moment, is in the states.

It seems that the bill makes a lot of sense but since this is an election year there will most likely not be much that gets passed between now and then. Please keep us updated an any further developments.
Storing sustainable energy is very important if you beyond the games so that it can actually be implemented but the bill to make it happen is stuck in the legislature.

Interesting. This article would be much more helpful, though, if the author gave some specific examples of how local regulation was in appropriately blocking storage. I wouldn't immediately dismiss the viability of federal legislation. While the title and popular belief is that storage primarily benefits renewables, it also benefits inflexible baseload capacity--especially coal and nuclear--which might otherwise have to ramp down in low load conditions, and may even provide higher economic benefits to them. Successful efforts to harmonize state and local regulations on electricity issues, on the other hand, are few and far between.

Carla Hall and Victoria Kim of the LOS ANGELES TIMES reported last Friday that L.A. County Superior Court Judge Scott Gordon ordered Dodgers Owner Frank McCourt pay $225,000 a month in temporary spousal support to his estranged wife, Jamie, and an additional $412,159 a month in costs associated with the seven residences in her name.
Jamie McCourt had asked for $988,845 a month to "maintain her homes and her lifestyle."
If you thought that was jaw-dropping, then you missed this graf in the same story:
He (Judge Gordon) also ordered that an eighth property — land in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico — be sold and the proceeds split between the two McCourts for their legal fees. Jamie had requested about $9 million in legal fees.
Jamie McCourt filed for divorce on Oct. 27, 2009. Roughly six months ago.
For Jamie McCourt to claim $9 million in legal fees during that time period would mean that based on a lawyer working ten-hour days, every day for six months, she has so far paid $50,000 per day for legal representation. That's $5,000 per hour.
Yes, I realize she has more than one lawyer and there are other associated costs with that representation. And that the McCourts have an extraordinarily complicated set of investments designed to game the tax system that have to be unwound.
But $9M for six months of work on a single divorce case?
What's also interesting is that the judge would order the McCourts to sell one of their eight homes to pay legal fees. I wonder how Dodger fans feel about a couple who bought the L.A. franchise on borrowed money and then proceeded to extract $120 million in cash money from the team in tax-free loans to help in the purchase of those eight multi-million dollar residences?
The McCourts make Wall Street look like an Amish enclave.

Why are the "social media elite" ignoring us?
Mar 27th
I received an email this week from a reader who is struggling with a problem experienced by many social media newcomers. His question:
"How does a real unknown like me get the big name social media marketers to pay any attention to me? They won't give me the time of day. I tweet to them and retweet their posts, talk about them on my blog, and don't receive any acknowledgment. Am I just following the wrong people? Who would you recommend?"
The social web is an enigma. While many top marketers have built their careers touting the importance of "the conversation," they have become so popular, they no longer have time to converse!
I've had the great fortune to meet many of the leaders in the field. And while we certainly have our share of iconic douchebags, the vast majority of these folks are hard-working, well-meaning professionals just trying to make a living.
It's not always about the conversation
It's a numbers game. At some point, the workload and crush of followers that comes with celebrity exceeds any human's ability to engage in a meaningful way, no matter how willing they may be.
Even in my own little world on {grow} I am probably not as attentive as I used to be as blog subscribers and followers multiply. What's the option? Block people out … or slowly become less tuned-in? I am succumbing to an inexorable corrosion of engagement like everyone else. Some people probably think I'm ignoring them. One popular blogger once told me, "When you are standing in front of a stadium full of people, you can only slap hands with the people in the front row."
Just because somebody is busy, it doesn't necessarily make them a snob. So my first recommendation is, don't take it personally. I doubt most people are intentionally ignoring you. Extend them some grace.
Looking for love in all the wrong places?
My second thought on this question — maybe the attention on the social media elite is mis-placed.
Many believe if they could only get their blog post tweeted by a social media superstar then everything would change! This is a pervasive myth. At some point I have been tweeted by about every leader in the field, including Guy Kawasaki and Alyssa Milano — who have enough followers to be small countries. After a short spike in traffic (Alyssa actually crashed the server), there was no lasting impact on the blog. I'm not exaggerating. I literally mean NONE. In fact after a Kawasaki tweet my blog subscriptions went down.
There is no shortcut to building a blog community. You have to work hard and create your own movement one reader at a time. Let's use Dave as an example. By providing personal attention to him, I may create a lifetime fan who will actively engage with me and tell others, too. One connection with a self-proclaimed "unknown" will probably mean more to building the {grow} community than a dozen tweets from Chris Brogan. That is a fact.
Start your own sphere of influence
When I started blogging, many people thought I was on a kamikaze mission by ignoring (or even challenging) the status quo. But I don't see it that way. Why does the world need another suck-up regurgitating the same old blog topics week after week? How many social media sycophants have gone on to stand out and create distinct value for their readers?
Spending all your time trying to get the attention of the big names is probably not going to have a business pay-off. So go make your own tribe.
There was a small band of beginning bloggers who supported each other when I first started out and we're still friends today. Srini Rao wrote about this strategy beautifully last week. If you're a blogging "baby," go find some more beginners and support each other. As you learn and grow together, you'll be your own network of A-List bloggers!
Don't get caught up in keywords, SEO and Ad Age bloggers. Your key to lasting success is originality, and the key to orginality is having the courage to share your own wisdom.
Any way, that's my take on it. What has your experience been? Are you successfully connecting with the social media leaders? Any impact?
Shooting for the Starbucks of blogs
Mar 25th
This week I was sitting in a crowded cafe off of a hotel lobby in New York City. The cafe offered free coffee for the hotel guests and I helped myself to the delicious hot drink. I am not a coffee elitist. In fact, the more my coffee tastes like a milkshake, the happier I am.
A group sitting next to me had another idea. They scoffed at the free coffee and sent a scouting party across the street — in the freezing sleet and rain — to round-up four coffees from Starbucks. Probably paid $4.50 apiece for them.
I couldn't help but draw a parallel between me — taking the convenient 'free content" — versus the alternate group willing to go out of their way and pay for their content. As marketers and bloggers, isn't that really our goal? To be so unique, so insanely great, to be able to summon a powerful emotional connection that would drive people out into the sleet to find us!
That's awesome. That's what I want to be when I grow up. Or {grow} up as the case may be. I don't intend to charge for blog content but I do want to provide that kind of value to readers. A few people have told me — "I would pay for your blog." I think that is the highest compliment possible!
How about you? What would it take for people to want to PAY to read your blog? Are you up to that big of a challenge? If you reached for a goal like that, what would you be changing right now about your blog, your career, your team, or your company?
Are Content Curators the power behind social media influence?
Mar 24th
By Neicole Crepeau, Contributing {grow} Columnist
Are you overlooking some of the most powerful influencers on the social web? Let's find out.
Traditionally, there has been a 1-9-90 rule when it come to creating and consuming content:
There's a new element in this equation, though: Content Curators — people who make a practice of finding content relevant to their friends and followers, and then sharing links to that content. I am making a distinction between a curator and an aggregator who pulls content from around the web, usually related to a specific topic, to display on websites generally to enhance search engine optimization.
Of course, we're all curators to some extent, consuming content and, on occasion, sharing what we find interesting or entertaining. However, there is an elite subset of people who proactively seek out and share content. I know, because I'm one of them. I comb through blogs and articles on an almost daily basis, and share what I consider to be the best and most relevant mobile, social media, and online marketing news to my followers on Twitter.
ExactTarget calls these people "megaphones" and says:
"Megaphones want to connect, educate, and share resources and information online with others. These consumers clearly fall into the 'influencer' category—meaning they can impact a brand's bottom line—but Megaphones represent an especially elite group that takes their online interactions very seriously."
ExactTarget's research shows that only 7% of online users are megaphones. It's unclear where exactly these Curators are drawn from in the traditional triangle, but according to ExactTarget, 65% percent of them are creators. I expect the remainder span some part of the commenters.
Why are these folks important? Because they are influencers. There has been tremendous focus lately on defining, identifying, and connecting with social media "influencers." It's a natural pursuit for marketers trying to get their message out. I've yet to see a robust approach to this objective, but doesn't it make sense that an elite group of people who loves to share great content would be natural and important influencers?
Let's look at the dynamics that make content curators so powerful. Based on some of ExactTarget's social profiles, a brand might connect with individual consumers through several paths:
It may be difficult to connect through all the possible user-types, but one user "channel" stands out — the Curator or megaphone. Look at ExactTarget's chart showing social consumption and social contribution (creating, commenting, sharing, and posting):
Graphic from ExactTarget (http://www.exacttarget.com/uploadedfiles/resources/SFF_SocialProfile_singles.pdf). Red circle added.
The Curators are the greatest consumers of content AND the greatest contributors—including sharing. That makes Curators a hub and the easiest users for marketers to reach. Curators, like me, are actively looking for information to share with others, and actively spreading the word. Content Curators are the best online friend a marketer could have!
This means there are significant changes ahead in the social media information ecosystems. Before there was search, there was a world of information available on the web, and a world of people who were interested in it.
The problem was that people couldn't easily find the websites they wanted. Enter Google, which connected people with the websites (and businesses) they wanted, via keywords. Happily for Google, they were able to use the same method to let advertisers reach consumers with ads, piggybacking on the keywords to target specific types of users.
Within social media, there is no well-established Search. That connection with websites is made through individuals, usually via shared content. What's clear is that Content Curators are the equivalent of Google in the social world. Curators are the individuals doing the searching and sharing:
Of course, there are a lot of Curators, versus one Google. So, each Curator is the equivalent of a Google who is focused on specific keywords.
If the Curator is the new Google, we can expect businesses to optimize for the Curator just as they optimized for Search on the web. In this new world, Curators become a commodity and they have value that will be sought after. Marketers will seek curators in specific topic areas and with specific traits. Marketers will want to know:
- The topics this person curates. Curators specialize.
- The networks and communities he/she curates to. Curators who are plugged into niche communities and forums may be even more valuable.
- The number of connections on those networks. The volume or following always counts.
- The types of connections the curator has. What's the quantity of different types of social users following this curator: gamers, social butterflies, shoppers, deal seekers?
- Reshare value. How many of this curator's followers reshare the content, and how wide a net do they cast?
- The click-through-rate for this curator's content. How often do people open the items this curator shares?
- The conversion rate resulting from this curator's content. How often does a recommendation from this person generate sales? How often does a click through on a piece of content from this curator result in a sale?
That's right. I said marketers will want to know CTRs and conversion rates for Curators, similar to the data they want on ads and publishers.
As this kind of information becomes more readily available through tools, the question is what happens when marketers seek and court Curators? Do Curators find a way to monetize their services, as Google did? Would that lessen thier impact? How do Curators change what they do as they become a valuable and sought-after resource? What kind of markets, businesses, and products revolve around the new commodity of Curators?
This is a new view of influence on the social web — what do you think? Make sense?

Bitter listening. As an idealist, I stood up for ethics 4 years ago while at a Co that was committing a multimillion dollar fraud with public funds.
My key contributive error was that I was immature beneath my idealism about it.
20 year professional career in ruins. References very limited. Numerous jobs pulled after the final interview. "Doesn't respect the management team" was the only feedback I ever received.
The managers' network talks behind the recruiting scene.
Sorry for the downish comment. I aspire to the talks content personally and admire the courage anyone has to try to execute this.
The talk bought up many regrets. The common manager in industry is not striving for these high standards.

Rarely have I listened to someone talk such drivel in my life. This is someone who makes their money out of corporate America. Five minutes reading of Erich Fromm puts the lie to her silly suggestions about "reframing" your approach to work. The speaker made it very clear that she is barely tolerant of dissent and in fact finds it annoying. Give me Mike Daisey, John Ralston Saul or Michael Hudson any time but please no more Mary Gentile and her corporate claptrap.

The "Re-inventing ethics/Mary Gentile" interview-discussion is VERY important. Thank you
so much.
Without RN I fear for what would happen to the ethics of Australian society. It is our secular "Church". I mean this literally. I am an atheist but I think community morality is essential.
Churches and religions used to help spread ethical ideas and help engage people in ethical action. Now with so many people not engaged in religion and church going, the vital question is what institutions can carry on this function. It was only in the last 12 months that I realised that RN and the ABC more generally is one such vital institution. Bless you all(!).

I couldnt agree more Phillip - ethics are such an important aspect of our work life and our life generally that it is disturbing how little airplay they get. It it wasnt for the presentation of things like this I fear I would be left to have a converstions with myself. I work in a deeply ethicsl profession by that I mean where ethics weaves its way through all that we do - it is mostly ignored and largley misunderstod! thanks RN for allowing space for this and I agree Phillip bless you all!!

Hmm. The approach of 'just re-frame so it is easy to be ethical' seems remarkably superficial. There doesn't seem to be a commitment to truth as the core of this ethical stance.
She doesn't seem to have reflected on her culture (US business) at all. Embracing individualism and entrepreneurialism.
I do think virtue ethics (shaping 'character') is a better approach than making rules - 'professional ethics' and so on.
I value authenticity and living in accord with what is precious. I think the usual scolding approach just things make things worse.
But this just seems so superficial. She doesn't seem to even understand that ethical conflicts could exist. The idea that the ethical will always be easy and lead to happiness. Neither does she seem to contemplate that ethics might demand big change in the current way things are done.

Mary Gentile's approach is a positive helpful contribution to how a person can try to maintain their own sense of what is the right thing to do. Useful guidelines for action.
In my role as an tertiary educator, I will introduce the four step framework to my students and have them practice scenarios.
Thank you.

Gentile's, is dong the right thing to point these problems out, however in that approach, as in law, it is always addressing symptoms and never acting on the core of a problem. A person with a gene for violence will have a definite advantage in a situation of violence but where there is no violence, that gene does not necessarily manifest. Similarly the psychopaths that run big business are doing the right thing, as they are managing well in the structure that is the status quo. It does not mean that those psychopaths would be so sociopathic in a more functional social design.
What I am suggesting here is that laws are designed after a failure to solve a problem and are in place to manage the symptoms of them. One has to have ethics because there are social problems and there is a need to manage them. All these aspirations will never stop the problems from manifesting.
True social design means laying the foundations to a functional society. Our society has a foundation of violence, exploitation and dispossession. There is no way that any ethical idealism can have an effect on that foundation. This makes me cringe when she tries to mould her thesis upon a business model. Business has a foundation of competition, which means there must be winners and looser, the latter being in the majority, and uses a platform of designed scarcity. The core of this oppression is the security industry, where there is big money.
So one can hope and aspire all they like, while we have a money system as the core of our social structure, all activity is built upon strategic advantage and making profit. In a market of shoddy commodities with designed and intrinsic inferiority, because if maximum durability was a priority sales would dramatically drop making the business unprofitable, there is a tendency to encourage wage slavery. This means that poor people will stay poor because they always have to pay interest (that doesn't exist, as it is not supplied in the principal money supply), and rich people will stay rich because they collect that interest from the poor people. This is structural violence, and the ongoing result of this is poverty, which is structural violence.
Shakti :
17 Sep 2012 1:30:37pm
So to continue, this is all further exacerbated by those poor people being influenced by the necessity to cyclically consume dysfunctional products, pay high rents, endure the bad health that goes with being forced into a position of disadvantage, and the vilification that it is all their own fault for being poor. Is anyone ever mentioning the technological unemployment that has been happening over the last century, where logically we should have been reducing the working hours of the workers, while increasing their pay to meet the necessities of life? Is anyone noticing that automation is far more efficient than human labour, making it totally irresponsible not to fully automate as much as possible? Is anyone realising that the minimum wage does not cover the necessities of life? When will we rid ourselves of this cancerous fiscal system, and realise that it not longer serves our life system? When will we design our social system to meet everybody's needs first? Of course it is actually technically possible, all that is required, is the will to do it, after which, we can stop wasting all our energy debating issues of law and ethics, and spent more time productively solving problems.

About the Book
"Perry can take comfort in the power of his writing, his ability to pull readers from all corners onto his Wisconsin spread, and make them feel right at home among the chickens." —Seattle Times
Living in a ramshackle Wisconsin farmhouse—faced with thirty-seven acres of fallen fences and overgrown fields, and informed by his pregnant wife that she intends to deliver their baby at home— Michael Perry plumbs his unorthodox childhood for clues to how to proceed as a farmer, a husband, and a father.
Whether he's remembering his younger days—when his city-bred parents took in sixty or so foster children while running a sheep and dairy farm—or describing what it's like to be bitten in the butt while wrestling a pig, Perry flourishes in his trademark humor. But he also writes from the quieter corners of his heart, chronicling experiences as joyful as the birth of his child and as devastating as the death of a dear friend.

House Bill Would Guard Internet Privacy
Abrahms, Doug, The Washington Times (Washington, DC)
Rep. W.J. "Billy" Tauzin introduced legislation yesterday that would strengthen consumer privacy on the Internet and make it easier for consumers to block personal information from being sold.
The bill would prohibit the sale of Social Security numbers and medical information on the Internet without a user's consent, said Mr. Tauzin, Louisiana Republican and chairman of the House Commerce telecommunications subcommittee. Internet service providers would have to inform users, if they ask, about what information is collected from them and make it easy for them to block its collection.
The measure also would make it easier for parents to protect their children on line. It would require companies collecting information from children to notify them that their parents' consent is necessary and would allow parents to have such information deleted.
"Studies show that potential consumers are wary of using the Internet for commercial purposes because they are not confident that personal information, once provided to a Web site, will remain private," Mr. Tauzin said.
Internet users have been outspoken about protecting their privacy.
An outcry last week by some of America Online's 8.5 million subscribers about the Sterling, Va.-based company's decision to sell its subscribers' home phone numbers to telemarketers forced AOL to relent.
"Upon further reflection, we decided to change our plans," said Steve Case, AOL's chief executive.
Mr. Tauzin's legislation would make the computer industry responsible for developing guidelines for protecting consumer privacy within six months of the bill's enactment. An implicit threat is that Congress could pass privacy laws if industry safeguards proved inadequate.
"Why does Congress have to make a bill to create voluntary guidelines? …

Re: Starting Credit
nocredithistory wrote:
At this rate, how long can i see myself in a good score? I got pre-approved for a home loan without credit history but with my sister income included on the transaction as well.
My lender advised to start our credit, to open 3 accounts and to improve working on it for 3 months. Will that work?
Well, that's tricky -- for a couple of reasons.
If you are already preapproved for a mortgage and planning to take the homebuying plunge this year, applying for any new credit now could present problems. General rule is not to apply for any credit for six months before apping for a mortgage. In the very short term, new inquiries and new credit aren't good for your score.
If you literally have NO score right now, secured cards can help you build one. But although you might have a nice little score within a few months, you're generally considered to have a "thin file" until you've had credit for at least six months.
Sometimes loan officers aren't as well-educated about credit as they should be. They'll recommend you get credit cards, which is a good idea, but won't understand that the actual mortgage loan underwriters frown on too much new credit.
So while building your score via secured cards is a good way to go, in either case it could get tricky to buy a house in the near future.
MyFico members who are more experienced in mortgages than I will need to help you work this dilemma out.

GOVERNMENT SUPPLIERS revealed to have unsavoury tax practices could find themselves out in the cold when it comes to dishing out state procurement contracts under tentative plans revealed in the Autumn Statement.
As part of measures to clamp down on tax avoidance and evasion, the Cabinet Office and HMRC are to consult on the use of the procurement process to deter tax avoidance, with a view to the new arrangements coming into effect from 1 April 2013.
Further reading
Chris Morgan, head of tax policy at KPMG, described the limited explanation in the Autumn Statement as "cryptic", and suggested there was little time given over for consultation.
"It seems they want to have some kind of certification process to ensure that companies dealing with the government follow the rules as the government interprets them," Morgan says. "It is also part of the drive to have companies be more transparent about their tax arrangements."

Dell has just announced release of a new Vostro series, the 3000 , which will add some punch to Dell's business laptop offerings. The 3000 series, which will range in size from 13-inches to 17-inches, will sport a range of Intel's newer Core processors.
The new Vostros are the 3300 , with a 13.3-inch display, the 3400 , with a 14-inch display, the 3500 , with a 15.6-inch display, and the 3700 , with a 17.3-inch display.

Commentary by Col. Stacy L. Yike
66th Air Base Group commander
2/9/2012 -
HANSCOM AIR FORCE BASE, Mass.
-- We made it another week without a major snow storm! When I was told that New England weather was unpredictable, I did not fully appreciate what that really means. With such beautiful, sunny weather, a few of you may be inspired to start your spring cleaning or redecorating. If so, I want to share a few great resources with you.
As you know, the Hanscom Spouses Club operates the Minuteman Thrift Shop on the corner of Barksdale and Grenier streets, which is open every Tuesday and Thursday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., and the first and third Saturday of every month from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. They offer a wide range of items for sale and proceeds support scholarships for our youth, as well as many other base activities supported by the HSC.
If you're looking to do a bit of spring cleaning, or if you are planning a PCS, the thrift shop is a great place to take your donations. They also do consignments on Tuesday and Thursday from 10 a.m. to 12 noon, if you want them to sell your goods for you. Check out their Facebook page at
for more information and some fantastic deals.
In addition, you may be tired of driving miles upon miles for something you found on Craigslist, only to have the person not show up. Now, stay local with our great new website,
I know that many of you wanted an easier way to exchange goods and services, so we have set up a website to help you do so. The site is great for advertising services such as babysitting, pet sitting, lawn mowing and, if the weather changes, snow shoveling. If you need to find a good home for your pet, you can do that, too.
This site is perfect if you are looking for a great way to advertise your upcoming yard sale, or if you just need to sell that foosball table collecting dust in the basement. Feeling charitable? You can list items to give away, as well.
The site is free to use, and open to all who want to do business or share information with the Hanscom community. It's a superb way for Hanscom to take care of other Hansconians!
Read more about it here
The Hanscom Family Housing Facebook page also gives residents a place to post all kinds of information, so don't forget to check this site, too:
Finally, I would like to give a big shout out to the 66th Air Base Group annual award winners. We celebrated the achievements of all the nominees this week with several events around the area and we will announce the winners Friday night at the awards banquet at the Minuteman Commons. Stay tuned next week to read about the final results.
I hope you have a wonderful and safe weekend.

Phelps wants it all

ATHENS -- Michael Phelps loves to say, "Anything's possible." He better hope so.
Phelps is the biggest story of an Olympics that hasn't even started -- because of his real and imagined pursuit of the impossible. Not just seven gold medals in one Olympics. That's easy compared to what Phelps really wants. The 19-year-old from Baltimore wants to change his sport.
Two days before Opening Ceremonies, Phelps spoke about his two goals for the Games: to win a gold medal and "to bring more ...

My cats love fur mice. Usually they tear the tails off first. Next the eyes come out and then they chew the butts off. Im usually left with a fake mouse carcass. These are great toys but usually don't last longer than a day. I have 5 cats and they all do the same thing!
Pros: cost
Cons: none

This petition was created because Young Justice is one of the best animated TV shows on television at this time. Creator Greg Weisman has given us a fantastic look at the DC universe, one which we feel needs and deserves a third season. This show has a tremendous following, despite Cartoon Network's horrid scheduling with the haphazard and far too long hiatuses. If airing on Saturday morning with more children focused programming is not in the cards, then perhaps a move to the Toonami block under Adult Swim could provide a solution. Those who have watched the show know full well that Young Justice is a more mature show, animated though it may be, dealing with many aspects that would find it easier to fit in a more adult atmosphere. CN did this show a disservice as soon as they made the not-so-brilliant decision to put the DC Nation block on at 9am Saturday mornings. We cannot let this show be treated so cavalierly by the network, so I ask you to sign this petition and let your voice be heard so Young Justice may hopefully be allowed continue....and if you don't Superboy will find you and you know how he gets when he's angry.

I forgot about the journal & planner in another part of this site. I accidentally found it just a minute ago and while recording in the journal came to a startling discovery!!
My job for the last 13 years has been Office Manager/Administrative Assistant/Property Manager for a construction company. Over the last few years, because of the economy, our rental properties have been increasing. Keeping these properties rented to responsible people who pay their rent, don't destroy my boss's properties and just generally do the right thing has become more and more stressful. They call me over some of the most petty things. Ants in their kitches, a spider in the bathroom, the people next door yelling at them over parking, someone doing something illegal!! Instead of just buying a can of bug spray, or trying to work something out about the parking or calling the cops, they call ME. At 2, 3, 4 in the morning!!!
I have now been laid off work for a month. I think I am just beginning to de-stress from the pressures of trying to babysit all these people. I even have one that I have been doing a payment schedule for over the last 2 or 3 years so he can pay his bills and rent!! Of course, he doesn't FOLLOW it, so he's really behind on his rent, but I was trying to help him! So, then I had the pressure of trying to explain to my boss why we had not evicted the man. Oh, and the ones that I did think we should be evicting, the ones that I had to fight every month and be lied to and cussed out by, he would not let me evict!! I wonder if that could possibly be why I am not wanting to wake up before 10 AM. Maybe it's all the stress over that situation finally leaving. I know I still am stressed about my finances, but I just do not feel nearly as stressed as I did a couple weeks ago.
I think I found at least part of the answer. Lord, I hope I can find a way to make it without going back to work!

I am lucky we live off of my husbands Army retirement. I am an RN and was so stressed out at work the last year. I have been keeping my license up because if something happened to my husband I would have to go back to work.
I hope things work out so you don't have to work. You had a very stressful job.

Should I tell people I used a sperm donor to conceive my babies?
I'm a single mom; I conceived my twins using artificial insemination and donated sperm. I don't know what to say when people ask about my 'husband' or the girls' daddy. I'm not ashamed of the way I got pregnant, but I'm not sure it's anyone else's business, either. How should I handle questions? And when and how do I tell my daughters?

Personally i think that if you use Artificial Insemination to conceive that it is your own business and that there certainly is nothing to be ashamed of. Keep it between you and your family and close friends. Just as a lot of others have suggested if poeple ask about your "husband" or your daughters' father just tell them that you are not with him. If they keep prying tell them that you are just raising your girls alone and they can keep thier big nose out of it. Congratulations on your daughters and best of luck i know you can do it. Just make sure they have a positive male role model in thier life as well as you for a positive female role model.posted 05/11/2004 by Pixiegirl62379
Congratulations on your babies! Most women have the inherent desire to become parents. I think you should do that ANY WAY that you see fit for your situation. Good luck to you! People that are saying judgemental things are unintelligent and uninformed. If other people want to base the "wrongness"of your choice on religion then they need to take another look at the Bible and find where it says to judge others if they don't do what is in agreement with their beliefs. I wish you the best of luck and think you are a strong powerful woman.posted 05/11/2004 by a BabyCenter Member
I am also a single mother and my child was conceived via donor artificial insemination. I too have been faced with this issue. My friends and family all know the baby was conceived by artificial insemination. As for acquaintances it really amazes me how many want to know the intimate details of my life. I think it is a terribly rude question to ask (especially by those who know I am not married) and yet I still get asked this question. I simply respond that my son either doesn't have a father (let them figure that out) or that his father is "not in the picture." As for my son, he will know that he was conceived via artificial insemination by an anonymous donor. I am saving all the information on my donor for my son. However, I want him to understand that there are all types of families and our family does not have a "Daddy". Having my son by AI was the best decision of my life. I love being a mother and feel truly blessed to have my son. Congratulations on the birth of your twins. I wish you the best!posted 05/10/2004 by a BabyCenter Member
It's an interesting situation ...I'd be honest with those close to you...that's easy...But if the person asking doesn't know you well enough to know your situation, do you really want to go into all the details? You certainly don't owe them an explanation and they may not want that much detail about what is a very personal procedure...I suppose honesty is the best policy but I'd suggest working out a quick sentence or two that you can use without having to spend alot of time explaining or seeming to defend your decision...which is a gutsy one, BTW...whatever your reasons...I just hope you have help lined up because single-motherhood is not a walk in the park! I'm very thankful that I have my husband as a "team-mate" in the baby-raising olympics that go one for way more than a couple of weeks! ;-)posted 05/10/2004 by LAV206
I don't think that you need to be ashamed at all. Many children are raised by one parent and do wonderfully in life. I wish you the best in life and really hope that you have an excellent support group! Babies can be tough sometimes. Good on you for taking this on though. We all deserve to be parents.posted 05/10/2004 by saraburleson
It's great that so many responses prove why you don't want to tell anyone- because you don't want to be judged for your decisions. As Moms, we are all in a position to be judged. I never felt so self-conscious about my life decisions until the birth of my daughter. You will be judged about whether you breast-feed or bottle-feed. You will be judged about whether you work or stay home. You will be judged on how many children you have, and how close together. Someone will stop you in the grocery store to tell you that you should have a hat on your girls in this weather. Just because you don't want to tell people doesn't mean you're necessarily ashamed. And even if you are, it's time to move past it. As long as you feel comfortable that you are making the decisions that are best for your children, you will be OK. As for the people who are asking questions that they shouldn't be- if you want to tell them, go ahead. Remember, the more open you are with it, the easier your kids can accept it. But if you don't want to tell them, just smile and say "Why, yes, they do have their father's eyes. Good luck!posted 05/10/2004 by a BabyCenter Member
I agreee (with a previous writer) that children need a father in their lives, but I do not think that you need to be ashamed about making the choice you made. I would make a joke about it, like "I never met their father..." and let them figure it out. Although a mom and dad are best for a kid, if you are ashamed, your kids will be too. They need to know that they were so wanted that you went out and did what you needed to do to have them. They need to be proud of who they are, regardless of "what's best." Best of luck,posted 05/10/2004 by Rochel_Ratner
Sandi, in your time you will tell those people that you are most comfortable with (and trust) about the details of your pregnancy. Ultimately its no one else's business but yours anyway. Some people just want to know to be nosy, you don't need to share with those people, and in your heart/head you know who those people are already. As far as telling the girls, I believe you will get the cues from them on when to tell them...if at all. It may be important to notify them as adults in case of a medical concern/health condition down the road, so keep that in mind. The "how", will come natural too based on the relationship you develop with them both over time. Be honest...and just tell them that you (and your husband)wanted some children to love very much. You wanted them very much and prayed to God to find a way to make it possible. God has special ways of making miracles happen...this time, it was through the miracle of technology and the gift of a stranger that made it all possible for you, your husband, and the girls to become one big family together. Their "dad" is the one that parents them, and the one that THEY Call out Daddy for love and comfort. Sperm/DNA is the thing that makes people "related" to one another, it doesn't necessary make them "family. LOVE does that! Congratulations and best wishes with the girls!posted 05/10/2004 by StaciePatchett
I do agree that children should have two parents and AI should ONLY be used by COUPLES who can't conceive normally (i.e. husband with low sperm count, lesbian couples, etc). The situation will pose many obstacles in your child's life, however, since it's already said and done, congrats on your upcoming arrivals. People will ask and wonder and it really isn't anybody's business; it's up to you whether you wish to tell them or not, but when you went through the procedure, you should have thought about the fact that people are going to question and judge because that's just the way we are. You don't have to be ashamed of what you did, but if you're uncomfortable explaining it, that makes me wonder how sure you are about the procedure - you should be confident in every decision you make, especially when brining children into the world. Tell your daughters when they are old enough to understand; you might want to try out very very simple and gradually go into more detail as their comprehension levels increase. Best of Luck!posted 05/10/2004 by a BabyCenter Member
Everyone is awfully defensive about the single mother issue! So what if someone asks you about your "husband"? It was probably not an attempt to "dig" for info or pry, it just sounds like an honest question. Should we all ask, "So, how does your husband/baby's daddy/domestic partner/sperm donor/lover/ etc feel about the exciting news of twins?" If you are a single mother, don't be so quick to think everyone is out to judge you, or you may end up creating the prejudice you fear. If you are "okay" with the situation, others are likely to follow in your attitude. And if they don't, who needs 'em? As for this particular situation, I think openness and honesty are always best. A similar situation would be if they were adopted, which is nothing to be ashamed of. You may as well get used to explaining it anyways, that way when your girls ask you you won't be stuck for an answer; it will be very natural. If you act prickly, defensive or sarcastic (as some people on this board have suggested you should act) it tells others, whether it's true or not, that you feel ashamed or "wrong" on some level, which of course you don't! (There will always be some people who want to look down their noses at you, but that's their problem, not yours.) So hold your head up and never approach it with bitterness,or that will surely rub off on your girls.posted 05/10/2004 by Jen0602

The ever insightful Patri Friedman has commented on "My Spending Over the Last 8 Days." Very good insight on the pros and cons of investing in assets for compound interest or investing in your own personal development -
It's tricky, because on the one hand, there is all the magic of compound interest you refer to, and OTOH, if you love working and will be making good money the rest of your life, then you have ample opportunity to make it later. For people who want to retire as early as possible, working hard for max savings makes sense. The difference between saving HARD (and researching a minimal cost retirement in another country) vs. saving just 10% a year can easily mean retiring at 35 vs. 60.
Bur for those with valuable skills who like to exercise them (which it seems like is the case for you), who like to always have a hand in the game, the value of saving is less.
One unfortunate thing is that when you are young, you tend to have both rapidly growing savings and career, it is the time when investing in savings yields the most l ong-term returns...and so does investing in yourself. Both of them compound.
Personally, my net worth has gyrated insanely over my adult life, so making good spending decisions has always been hard!
Really good insights. Patri's blog is here, with regular good insights on it - http://patrissimo.livejournal.com/
From "THE ROAD TO BUSINESS SUCCESS: A TALK TO YOUNG MEN," an 1885-talk by Andrew Carnegie --
Emphasis mine.
The whole speech has good points mixed in -- definitely worth checking out.
One of the biggest mistakes I see young people making is spending their money capriciously and not saving. If your bank account or investment portfolios aren't growing, or you are not expecting them to grow something is awfully wrong. S&P 500 has been shown to go up around 10% every year in the long run. There are treasury bonds and other investment vehicles as well which can ensure that your money is at the very least keeping up with inflation.
When I started earning some money last year I ended up investing or saving up 4/5 of it, and kept spending my money frugally and only splurged once or twice. Being frugal, saving up, and thinking about the future is crucial, especially at a young age because you have so much time for compound intrest to take hold
One of the clearest ways to picture this was an example given in the book the slightest edge, whereby two young post-graduates at the age of 24 agree decide that they want to retire millionaires and will invest 2,000 a year into an 12% account every year until they can make it a reality.5 years later they meet each other and ask how its been going. One of them has followed the investing religiously, while the other hasn't. The one who hasn't asks the other how close he is to his investment goal and the the other friend says "I'm done". It turns out that with just 6 years of investing, the compounding interest will be sufficient enough to get him to 1 million at retirement. The other friend decides he has to get to it, but when he does the math, he realizes he has to invest 2,000 a year for the next 33 years!
This story underscores two things. One the cost of waiting, how waiting to long to do something keeps you from taking advantage on the magic of compounding interest. and second how important investing and not overspending is.
The biggest reason by far not to overspend though, is so you can increase your freedom. I'm not saying money always equals freedoms, but having a good amount of money in the bank significantly opens your options and lowers your anxiety levels. Living paycheck by paycheck, or not having a clear long term financial goal can lead to distress and insecurity.

I live in Indiana and I want to know what steps, if any, are taken by the state board to shut down (or fine) the non-standard salons that blatantly use MMA in a state where it is supposed to be illegal?
The State Board of Cosmetology Examiners does not have the authority to shut down or discipline a salon that is in violation of the statutes or rules. The proper procedure is a consumer or the compliance division of the Indiana Professional Licensing Agency files a complaint with the Consumer Protection Division of the Attorney General's office. The Attorney General's office investigates the complaint and files charges with the board if they find that there has been a violation. The board will hear the case and impose disciplinary sanctions if they rule against the licensee. Sanctions include possible fines and anything from a letter of reprimand up to revocation. – Tracy Hicks is the director of the Indiana State Board of Cosmetology Examiners.

Signing the memorandum of understanding between BGSU and the University of Hildesheim are Interim President Carol Cartwright and Prof. Dr. Wolfgang-Uwe Friedrich, president of Hildesheim.
Exchange agreement creates partnership with German university
The University signed an agreement Nov. 3 with the president of the University of Hildesheim in Germany that provides for students from BGSU and Hildesheim to study on the respective campuses.
The signing occurred at a breakfast for a group of distinguished German visitors with the Atlantik-Brücke (Atlantic Bridge) Foundation who were in the United States to observe the presidential election. Among them was Prof. Dr. Wolfgang-Uwe Friedrich, president of Hildesheim.
In the Atlantik-Brücke contingent were eight Hildesheim political science students and their professor, Dr. Claudia Derichs, who spent the final three weeks of the presidential campaign meeting with BGSU students and faculty and participating in area grass-roots political activities. Plans are under way for Hildesheim to host BGSU students and a faculty member next summer. Preference will be given to students enrolled in BGSU's new minor in Peace and Conflict Studies.
