Where I stayed
The burns on my body bounced back quick (I am the only irishman with an olive skin tone), but my face felt like someone poured wax on it. It was scaley and crisp, but do-able. Suzi, on the other hand, is a pale french-canadian. She blames her pale skin. I blame the quebecois in general. Anyway, she fried right up, red as a lobster's ass.
We spent a few days in the shade, but our surf-fevers got the best of us and we were back in the water as quick as possible. Those few days on the beach got me all revved up and when we went back, i stayed in the water for six hours without a break. I made friends with some locals and they pulled me out behind the tourists and made sure i caught some waves
we made lots of friends with people in our hostel and went out for dinner every night with different combinations. We attempted to do some shopping but tamarindo (tama-gringo) is expensive and small. except for $1 beers, those are nice.
then, today, our fellow Team Money member flew into Liberia. we woke early and caught the public bus at 9am. it weaved in and out of towns all morning long, filled and emptied, the ebb and flow of tico life coming and going. we passed festivals and schools and farms. it was stunning.
Nicole landed at noon and we met up right away. Now, to get to La Fortuna. First we taxi'd into Liberia to the bus stop. Then we decided to take a taxi to a town about an hour away where a connecting bus left earlier than the one here. Okay. Our taxi driver took us up through the hills of the country and the three of us caught up and ate some kind of local food stuffed in a pastry.
we got dropped off at a bus stop in somewhere
our bus came after an hour and it was luxury, cozy seats and big windows. we took the back and Nicole and Suzi watched SpyGame on my dvd player and i listened to music and looked out the window. one of my favourite hobbies. The ebb and flow of locals continued, and soon enough, the volcano appeared. it loomed on the horizon, calling to us.
We loaded up and trekked our bags off the bus. We made our way to Arenal's Backpacker Resort, a 5 star hostel. and 5 star it was. it has a great pool, a swim up bar, a fantastic view of the volcano, huge mattresses and steaming hot showers. It has brand new computers, a restaruant and a bar with great drink specials. They also have a desk for booking tours and they did give really good deals, made it really easy for people like us with not much time. I highly reccomend it.
we checked in - and not a minute too late as it was full by dinner - and went in search of food. We passed a few expensive looking places, and found a nice spanish restaurant. We sat, breathed, and ordered fondue (ah the french). Next we had massive burritos and nicole and i downed some local beer and everyone felt relieved. It was a long day, but it was pretty easy and we were all together.
Team Money, day one.

July 4, 2011 — "The Plateau" neighborhood is to Montréal, as Greenwich Village is to New York City – a gathering place of artists and inventive beings. You'll sense the creative culture by wondering down maple tree lined streets and spotting cast-iron spiral staircases that feature all colors of the rainbow.
Start your Plateau adventure with brunch at L'Avenue, an institute for Montréal brunch, featuring a chiseled manikin in the window. After you're fueled on oeufs and espresso, wonder down Avenue du Mont-Royal, popping your head into the various funky boutiques, such as Industrie for killer sneakers. If you want fun knick-knacks, browse through Le Palais Chinois de Montréal, which houses a plethora of Asian wall decors and funky porcelain tea sets. Or reconnect with Ella or Judy in their limited-print-vinyl-glory at used record shops like Le Fox-Troc.
As your stomach begins to warn of an impending craving for some Montréal dîner (lunch), grab a sandwich from one of the numerous bakeries, such as the very popular Première Moisson, and head a couple blocks south to Parc La Fontaine.
Parc La Fontaine is a well-loved green space for Montrealers looking for a retreat from urbania. Rest beside the fountain, but keep your eyes peeled for shirtless hotties cruising by on roller blades, and local lezzies enjoying a wine infused picnic. If it's a balmy summer day, you'll find ample shade under one of the many maple trees.
When you've got your second wind, turn your compass west and wander along the cobblestoned delightfulness that is Duluth Street. If it's time for another meal, check out Khyber Pass for Afghan cuisine, or grab a bottle of vino from a dépanneur (corner store) or SAQ (liquor store) and settle down at Lombardi for some authentic Italian food.
When you reach Saint-Denis Street, pop into Suite 88 to finish your adventure with some decadent chocolat. For a truly local epicurean experience, pick up a gift pack to give the folks back home a taste of what they're missing.

Reviews for Coffee Cake with Raspberry Filling
"This cake is moist & turned out good. I used 1/3 cup of mixed berry jelly in place of making the filing. It is rare that I use nuts in a recipe, since a lot of my family doesn't like them included. They were left out, as was the mace since I don't buy it."
"Doubled the recipe and baked it in a 9 x 13 pan for 40 minutes. I didn't use the mace either. Delicious and beautiful to serve!"
"This recipe is delicious! I've never heard of mace, so I didn't add it. I used a 9" round cake pan which worked beautifully for this recipe. Oh, and I used frozen raspberries instead of fresh."
"Love it. I skipped the mace because i didn't have it on hand and it turned out great. Also left out the nuts since hubby doesn't care for them. This is a keeper"
"Quite yummy, made them yesterday!"

Legal Professional: Build Your Business
Hi, we are new to this - our first time being a LL and have to deal with this. We feel terrible for the tenant (single gentleman, nice guy staying by himself) who passed away in a bike accident and his family but also have to watch out for our interest.
The family (mother and half brother) have already vacated the property and cleaned it and gave us a 30-day verbal notice to terminate lease and letting us inspect the property today and hand over the keys as they are going back to their home state. We have verbally accepted and said we will work our best to re-rent the property in the next 30 days and the deposit is safe with us. As part of the original lease agreement, in addition to the security deposit, Tenanat has already paid Last month's rent at Move-in. So we are covered (for the rent portion) if we can rent the property in the next 30-45 days.
Mother already has got a Power of Attorney to sign for her son (tenant) and willing to supply us with a copy. His dad was seperated from his Mom and passed away few years back.
A couple of questions -
- Can any one point me or send me a California Lease Termination Form which deals with Deceased Tenant and security refunds to relatives if there is one ?
- Tenant had not mentioned his Mom or Brother at all during the stay and times we talked, he had his Grand father and Aunt as Reference and Emergency contact. Also his Grand father was overseeing his inheritance account / CDs etc from his late Dad - as a trustee or something like that.
- Can I trust the Mom and Power of Attorney and refund the Security Deposit to her? What do I need to make sure I am not liable for this amount or any othe amount owed to anybody else (Grand father / Aunt) in the future ?
Hence I needed a full proof Lease Termination agreement which will protect me and my family from future liablilty claims. The family I met seems to be nice and I do not anticipate such but you never know as Money is the root of all evil, imho.
Thank you in advance and really appreciate the Professionals who devote their time to the community.

midas: gave us a 30-day verbal notice to terminate lease
I'm not 100% sure, but you may not have to terminate the lease just because the tenant is deceased. It is possible that his estate would be responsible for the rent until such time as you either re-rent the unit or agree to terminate the lease.

"Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience." - Mark Twain
"Mother already has got a Power of Attorney to sign for her son (tenant) and willing to supply us with a copy."A power of attorney is no good after the issuer dies, and we can't know whether you mean a letter of administration with regard to her son's estate. Technically speaking, you oughtn't have let anyone into the apartment if you didn't see a letter of administration/testamentary issued to a particular person wanting access.
"Can any one point me or send me a California Lease Termination Form which deals with Deceased Tenant and security refunds to relatives if there is one ?"There won't be such a form. :)
"... he had his Grand father and Aunt as Reference and Emergency contact."So why did you let the mother and brother into his place? (I'm gonna presume they didn't have a key, or that they fenagled his personal possessions from someone in government/law enforcement after the accident?)"Can I trust the Mom and Power of Attorney and refund the Security Deposit to her?"Nope. You hold into any monies until you ascertain who is in charge of this person's estate.
You woulndn't be "liable" for anything but to the tenant's estate.
I suggest that you confer with a local real estate attorney. I'd say this even if you weren't a newbie landlord, but if you intend to continue owning investment property and managing it yourself, you need to learn a lot more about basic contract law, etc. before delving into how to handle unusual scenarios such as this.
midas:Can any one point me or send me a California Lease Termination Form which deals with Deceased Tenant and security refunds to relatives if there is one ?
But I can point you to the statute 1950.5 at:
Your obligation to the estate would be the same as your obligation to the tenant. Just as the obligation of the estate to you would be the same as the tenant.
midas:Tenant had not mentioned his Mom or Brother at all during the stay and times we talked, he had his Grand father and Aunt as Reference and Emergency contact. Also his Grand father was overseeing his inheritance account / CDs etc from his late Dad - as a trustee or something like that.
That's a statement, not a question.
But if you want to be sticky about it you are entitled to see the probate court papers that appoint a representative of the estate or confirm the executor of the estate. You can also be sticky about dealing only with that individual.
See next question as to how not to be sticky.
midas:Can I trust the Mom and Power of Attorney and refund the Security Deposit to her? What do I need to make sure I am not liable for this amount or any othe amount owed to anybody else (Grand father / Aunt) in the future ?
The best and only legal way to handle the refund is make a check out to "The Estate of_____________." Then it doesn't matter who you hand it to. Any correspondence should be addressed to "The Estate of ____________" using a "care of" address.
Keep in mind that Powers of Attorney are no longer valid after the death of the tenant. It's the probate court papers that count.
midas:Hence I needed a full proof Lease Termination agreement which will protect me and my family from future liablilty claims.
You really don't need anything like that but it would probably be a good idea to use a move out inventory of the condition of the property. You can probable find one online. Make two copies in the name of the tenant and I suggest set it up for only your signature because the signature of anybody who isn't the court appointed person is not going to do you any good.
midas:The family I met seems to be nice and I do not anticipate such but you never know as Money is the root of all evil, imho.
And love goes out the door when money comes in the window.
I think you'll be safe enough using my suggestions.
By the way, you have a duty to mitigate which means you have to re-rent as soon as reasonably possible. You don't get to just take your time to run out the deposit.
midas:- Tenant had not mentioned his Mom or Brother at all during the stay and times we talked, he had his Grand father and Aunt as Reference and Emergency contact.
Have you contacted the Emergency contact (the aunt, right?)?
Before allowing anyone to clear out his possessions, you should have asked for proof that the person was the legally-appointed Executor or personal representative of the tenant's estate. It's possible that his mother and brother have no right to the stuff they took away - all his possessions including the security deposit now belong to his estate and not to this or that relative.
You should do your best to find out who has been appointed Executor or Personal Representative for the estate, and send the security deposit refund check, payable to the Estate of [deceased tenant's name], to that person. Probably should get their written agreement to terminate the lease before doing so; it's unlikely they will want to continue the lease, but you never know.
Oh thank you DPH, I almost said Mark Twain :)
So helpful:
"Tenant's deathSuppose that a tenant who has a tenancy for a specified term (for example, a one-year lease) dies. the tenancy continues until the end of the lease term, despite the tenant's death. Responsibility for the rest of the lease term passes to the tenant's executor or administrator.
Now suppose instead that the tenant had a month-to-month tenancy. in this case, the tenancy is terminated (ended) by notice of the tenant's death. The tenancy ends on the 30th day following the tenant's last payment of rent before the tenant's death. no 30-day or 60-day notice is required to terminate the tenancy."
Thank you Chancey.
No, she mentioned Power of Attorney.
Second, I only came to know of it last night after a full one week had passed. The family (mother who is from out of state) was informed by local law enforcement and she flew down with her other son and Uncle. They were handed the keys, DL and other stuff her son carried by Police. They then used the same to enter the property and vacate it. Most of the stuff was Rental it seems. Once the house was cleaned and ready for inspection they called me. And to be honest, I do not blame them if they did not think about their rights and attorneys and estates, etc.
Yes, I was considering creating a Trust for my investment property(s) but was not getting the time or motivation to talk to a Real Estate Attorney. I guess time is up !
Again, thank you for your sensible advice.
Too bad police aren't too understanding/cognizant of what can result from their ignorance (handing over personal property), but never mind.
"Yes, I was considering creating a Trust for my investment property(s) but was not getting the time or motivation to talk to a Real Estate Attorney. I guess time is up !"This isn't really what I was getting at. Was talking more along the lines of simply understanding CA law/protocol vs. YOUR estate planning needs (and when you talk of creating a trust, that's ultimately what you're getting at). :)
The way I read it, mom had already received the keys from the police and cleaned the place out before midas knew he was dead. Very likely he had local relatives listed as emergency contacts and they are the ones who called mom to let her know.
Jack, thank you for your help and suggestion.
I looked up 1950.5 and other sections but did not find anything about deceased Tenant or Estate law. Infact found a few mentions of Landlord's death :).
Also 1951.2 was helpful which talked about Lease breach / Termination but again does not talk about termination because of Death.
And good to know about the Power of Attorney's validity and Probate Court papers.
And yes, we did re-list the Property last night itself and will do our best to refund all or most of the Security Deposit.
Just a few more Q if you do not mind:
- Is it law that an Estate or Trustee Account needs to be opened for the deceased to handle all financial dealings - debt / credit obligations !?
- So what official Lease termination form we have to fill up and sign? Do we go ahead and accept the 30-day written lease termination request / notice ? Can we preprare one by mutual agreement and signed by both parties and hold in Court for legal reasons.
- And in cases of death, how much time I have to return the funds assuming I was able to re-rent the property in the next 30 days. I mean I ask them to open an Estate/Trust but they take their time...
Thank you again so much for your valuable help.
Yes Karen, my wife did and the Aunt understood that we would like a waiver of some kind and she said she will call us back.
About the Grandfather (living) as the Trustee on Tenant's deceased father's account, it seems that all the funds from that trust account was disbursed to the Tenant few months back according to the Mom and that he has nothing to do with her son's (tenant) financial. So in short, I should not worry about a waiver from him ?
Talking about Estate, who can create an Estate for a deceased son in this case ? I mean can the Grandfather (father side) create one as well and the Mom creates one as well ? Who decides who can create an Estate / Trust for the deceased. If Court does, is there a legal document I can ask the Mom ? Is that Probate court paper Jack was referring to ?
I am sorry if the questions I am asking are confusing but as a layman I feel they are valid.
I cannot point you to any form. In terms of the security deposit. If the deceased's estate will not be probated, let me suggest that you familiarize youself with Sections 13100 and 13101 of the Probate Code (http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/cgi-bin/displaycode?section=prob&group=13001-14000&file=13100-13116) and consider whether turning over $$ to anyone who does not provide you with an affidavit under Section 13101 would be a good idea.
midas:his Grand father was overseeing his inheritance account / CDs etc from his late Dad - as a trustee or something like that.
I'm not sure what this means or why you have this info under your "couple of questions" heading.
Two things. First, refer to my response above regarding PC 13100 and 13101. Second, a power of attorney ceases to be effective at the moment of death. Third, unless the guy was married or had kids or had a will that says otherwise, his mother (and father?) would be his only heir.
If there's no will, any heir at law can file to open a probate case (so can a creditor for that matter).A grandfather wouldn't be an heir at law, and this person being named an emergency contact doesn't create some obligation on your part to worry about him under the circumstances. (If he's named in some will that's found later and thinks you allowed others into the place to take what they liked, who knows -- highly unlikely.)"Who decides who can create an Estate / Trust for the deceased. If Court does, is there a legal document I can ask the Mom ? Is that Probate court paper Jack was referring to ?"You've got an interesting way of posting questions, I'll give you that. :) The (local) court decides who will be charge of the estate, but I don't recall if a non-resident is free to act in that role (whomever it is that is out of state may need to get an attorney to do so). As for "document," we've already mentioned the letter of administration (or, if a will nominating mother, a letter of testamentary) being a document that ought to be obtained by whomever is put in charge of the estate.Not sure what kind of waiver you'd need from whomever or for what purpose.
The California Landlords Law Book (On line) Ch 19 has a pretty decent discussion of CA death of tenant matters --probably good idea to read it before you send out any security deposits or sign any waivers --you sort of want an indemininfaction and to be sure any required security deposit be returned to "estate of ----" , I'm not sure there is yet a deposit to be returned....slow down and double check.
Kind folks, need your help again..., suggest take a coffee before you read thru this :)
Did not expect this to get nasty at all but it has...
With discussions with the family of the deceased after our second meet Oct 25th:
- The tenant's mother send us a Request to terminate lease and apply last months rent towards the November rent. We had verbally agreed to that and that based on that we will draw up a Early Lease Termination Agreement which both parties will need to sign and accept.
- In Response to the above email request, we replied that we will get the Termination agreement drawn by that weekend (2-3 days) after. We downloaded the legal CA document from Legalzoom paid service and customized the document as to the terms under which we accept their request. Pretty much standard stuff, recital, compliance, liability, security deposit refund minus reletting cost incl marketing cost, etc. and using 1-2 days of our personal and precious time. It was sent to them on Oct 28th with Nov3rd deadline to sign and return or Pay Rent and till date they have been evading it.
- They were also supposed to provide us an Executor / Administrator document last week but they have not provided so citing small estate. So far we have not recd. any legal or court document which tells me that they are legal administrator or executor.
- We also kept emailing them for the signed termination agreement letting them know we have a eager qualified Tenant who is ready to move in immediately. And we had to tell them No or wait till we get this termination agreement so we can relet.
- End of the last week, we recv. an email from some Estate Lawyer (Mr. Edgar, are you listening) claiming he is an Executor / Administrator of the Trust. "We represent the mother...of the deceased..." and this email gives you authority to release. And to send to him all Lease related documents.How can we do that w/o a letter from Mother appointing him as Executor as the application and lease documents contains tenant confidential information. So we respectfully ask him for that a few times and he keeps ignoring that like a Bad Robot and keeps asking us for Tenant lease information.
- It is getting so annoying and frustrating and feels like Harrasment at this point. Over the weekend we told him that we will not entertain any future correspondance from his office till we see his appointment as Executor.
_ Also on the weekend we emailed the Mother "Notice to Pay Rent or Quit" giving them 3 days (till the 7th) to pay November Rent or sign and return the Lease Termination Agreement. We also mailed via Priority Mail the original today to her address.
- Guess what, today, we recd. another "Bad Robot" email asking us to Refund the last month rent and Security Deposit and they are only liable for Rent till Nov 2nd and that we did not re-let them the premise and warning us that they will pursue legal course if needed.
WTF in the world is happening !?
Only thing I guess we feel we might be dinged for is the extra deposit which the Tenant offered and we accepted. Tenant was low 600, high 500 score, single, but wanted to live in our nice house, no job but a veteran on disability with a decent savings/CD account. Terms of the lease before we met him were first month and 2 mos security deposit. Since we were not sure about his application but considering he served our Nation, we talked to him about an extra last month rent as well. But my wife learned that we cannot legally accept that extra month rent so we talked to the Tenant and said we cannot go forward with his Appl as we do not have enough security. At this point, he was so desperate and excited about this house, he offered us 6 mos rent in Advance which we said No but accepted an extra last month's rent and he gave it to us in writing that he is offering the last month's rent on his own will. And signed and dated it and we took that. Will that signed document from the Tenant hold in a court of law if we explain the above.
Anyway, at this point, we are trying to search for some legal representation and serve them a legal threatening Notice to stop the harrassment and return the signed document. We have every intenetion of returning every dime owed but if it gets prolonged and nasty we will have to rethink that.
We also want to possibly ding them legally that the family entered the tenant's premise and emptied everything incl all 3rd party stuff w/o a court or lawful document w/o notifying the landlord or w/o our consent. Cheapos, did not leave any tissue rolls behind (in any of the 3 toilets) and we felt so bad when a prospect's kid had to use the toilet and we were not aware. And were arguing with us about an extra water hose in the backyard. Which grieving mother cares about a $5 hose and small oil stains in garage when your 31 year old son has barely passed away.
This has taken my peace and sleep away, so much of our precious time lost, we missed a few of my kids games, delayed her Science project due last week. Our 6 mos being a landlord and we are already regretting it. Why is that Landlords have no so little rights...?
FYI, we have not signed anything with the family or Bad Robot. They have not returned all the keys, garage access and we still have the Move-in and Move-out as they had requested Garage access to store their uhaul pod. They have not officially informed us to turn the garrage access off or anything about the missing key.
- Any suggestions welcome. If you are a licensed lawyer in and around Corona, CA (92881) and willing to represent us "aggressively", please contact me at jdrnb007-7 @ yahoo. We are so fkin tired that I do not mind lossing my own money to remind them that they are seriously at fault here.
Second, if I continue to do this on our own, if the premise is in Riverside County, Bad Robot is from LA area and family is in Idhaho, will the responsible court for the hearing always be in Riverside county / Corona !?

Kristen Stewart Is The Most Improved Style Star Of 2010! Check Out 20 Of Her Best Get-Ups!
Take a look back at some of her edgy get-ups and memorable minis that won her the title!
Kristen Stewart may be most comfortable in a pair of jeans, Converse sneakers, and a plaid button-down — but the gal has really stepped up her style game when it came to countless premieres and parties in 2010! Rather than looking awkward in a poofy princess dress, K-Stew oozed confidence in edgy minis and fun frocks that seemed more consistent with her personal style.
From sitting front row at the Burberry Prorsum show to promoting Eclipse, the star really took the opportunity to debut her new look, wearing everything from Oscar de la Renta to Jenni Kayne. Sure, she showed off a variety of designers, but she stayed consistent in minis, sky-high pumps, and not-so-basic black dresses — I appreciate the cohesive elements that brought her looks together. In the past, K-Stew looked like a shy 12-year-old who was forced into a frock — even if she would rather throw on jeans, she looked completely confident and sexy in a slew of minis!
Among her most memorable get-ups, there was the Burberry Prorsum mini she wore in London, the gorgeous, white one-sleeved Elie Saab for the LA premiere, and the body hugging black and blue Versace mini she showed off in Germany.
After seeing the vast improvement Kristen made in 2010, I can't wait to see what she turns up wearing in 2011! If you don't remember all of her looks from the year, take a look back at some of her best dresses.

Norman's Road to Success
In times of economic uncertainty and an ultracompetitive job market, obtaining a college degree is more pressing than ever.
Yet far too many youths, including those in Rockaway, often encounter fatal obstacles to academic success when they get mixed up in gangs and street violence.
With both her bachelor's and master's degrees, resident Nyjeri Norman encourages students of all ages to pursue their dreams because they might just come true if you work hard enough. Earlier in her education, Norman admits that her drive was lacking. As a high school student, she did not fully take her education seriously.
"It was my time to meet up with my friends and enjoy," Norman states, "I cut class and had a chance to be around my friends, not knowing that they were handing in their assignments and passing their tests."
One of the most heartbreaking moments for Norman was watching her peers graduate from high school while she was being held back.
"After everybody graduated it made me feel like a failure … just defeat," she recounts.
Following the ceremony, the mother of one of Norman's friends urged her to not give up on her academic goals. While she may not have completely appreciated this message at the time, Norman would soon follow it as a lifelong philosophy.
While Norman kept trying to graduate from high school, two standardized tests seemed to repeatedly stand in her way. Always just a few points away from passing, Norman was told at age 21 that she was too old to retake the exams.
After steadfast perseverance Norman received what she deems a "glimpse of hope." She heard of a program at John Adams High School that could allow her to obtain a diploma. At 28, she obtained permission to retake the two exams, and this time, passed. In 2006, Norman received her high school diploma. She offered a speech at the ceremony, urging students to push forward towards success.
Now at age 32, Norman has both a bachelor's and master's degree, and is in the process of receiving a doctoral degree. With a successful future lying ahead of her, Norman is a role model not only to her young daughter, but to the entire Rockaway community. "I never wanted to settle," she says, "just to sit back and let life happen."
From her experience, Norman tells other students to work hard even in discouraging times.
"It's never too late … the sky is the limit. If you set your mind to do something, do it."

|Design Patterns
|14 hours
|There are plenty of tried and tested patterns widely available to everyone. Sometimes it is a matter of changing the names and implementing the pattern in a specific technology. It can saves hundreds of hours, which otherwise would be spent on design and testing. Training Goals This course has two goals: first, it allows you to reuse widely-known patterns, second, it allows you to create and reuse patterns specific to your organization. It helps you to estimate how patterns can reduce costs, systematize the design process and generate a code framework based on your patterns. Audience Software designers, business analysts, project managers, programmers and developers as well as operational managers and software division managers. Course Style The course focuses on use cases and their relationship with a specific pattern. Most of the examples are explained in UML and in simple Java examples (the language can change if the course is booked as a closed course). It guides you through the sources of the patterns as well as showing you how to catalogue and describe patterns which can be reused across your organization. Introductions Patterns and tiered architectures Pattern description Design patterns and design Finding and selecting design patterns Design pattern implementation Well-known patterns Object Creation Factory Builder Factory Method Prototype Singleton Structural Patterns Adapter Bridge Composite Decorator Facade Flyweight Proxy Behavioural Patterns Chain of Responsibility Command Interpreter Iterator Mediator Memento Observer State Strategy Template Method Visitor Observer Creating Patterns To pattern or not to pattern Formal pattern description Organizing the pattern catalogue Particular goal and abstracted goal Publishing your patterns to a pattern community

|This course is intended for analysts, designers, developers, testers and project managers. It is an introduction to system modeling using UML. Based on selected systems (case study) following phases of system modeling are presented: from modeling requirements, through business process modeling and documentation of functional and non-functional requirements, to the analytical model. The next step is the design phase - static and dynamic modeling using project classes and the interaction between the system components. Training can be the basis for a comprehensive process modeling in enterprise systems through the use of UML in all phases of software development. Introduction to UML A brief History of UML Overview of issues in the field of object-oriented modeling UML Specification (OMG) UML diagrams overview Requirements management Requirements Types Requirements Categories (FURPS) Methods for gathering requirements Modeling requirements using UML The relationship matrix for the requirements Creating a requirements specification Modeling business processes Activity Diagram Business process modeling in UML The definition of a business process Concurrent flows and decisions Exceptions and Exception Handling Partitions, path Modeling non-functional requirements Components and Deployment diagrams The initial architecture of the system - logical and physical Modeling requirements for security, performance, reliability, ...

I first saw Jackie Saccoccio's paintings when she showed at Black & White gallery in 2007. I spent time with the work, caught by the color and freedom of her painting style. I was intrigued by the play of the linear wall drawings and the painterly works themselves. I ruminated with the imagery for the next few days and managed to make it back to the gallery a couple of times. Jackie's work resonated with me, and the more I thought about it the stronger it seemed. This is no small feat, especially for abstract painting at this time – her works are both smart and sexy.
We caught up with Jackie for an exchange of ideas just before her new show at 11 Rivington opens on January 11th.
Mark Stone: Your show in 2007 was a marvel for a lot of abstract painters, and I think it heralded a new interest in abstract painting amongst gallery goers. This past summer there was a sort of fashionable resurgence of abstraction in the galleries that had to do with the critical success of your show. In the context of the public over the past year what do think has changed for abstraction – what has become "sexy" about it?
Jackie Saccoccio: That's very generous, thank you. I think the propensity of complex painting out there has been building for a while. I think that has to do more with the public at large trying to make sense of some of the larger looming uncertainties – the life price for unabashed greed, for example – war, global warming, etc. Blatant literalism of some of the 90's work rings as glib or propagandistic in this type of climate. Work that asks questions or is open-ended offers a place to reflect and accept uncertainty. Some of this fresh stuff finds itself in abstraction for sure and the level of complexity is growing – that's been building for many years with Michel Majerus, Joyce Pensato, Rosemarie Trockel, Katarina Grosse, Sarah Morris, Mary Heilmann, etc.
MS: Your work expands the possibilities of the expressionist 80s without resorting to Postmodern mannerist overtones. The possibilities for your work seem limitless – you have form, color, space and light. How have you managed to push beyond the Postmodernism of the "New Abstractionists" of the early 90s? What is your relationship to Postmodernism – if any?
JS: I had blinders on in regards to Postmodernism in NY. My formative years here in the late 80's were all about idealism. I would hang out with other artists, painters and sculptors mostly, dismantling and pushing one another to challenge whatever specifics lay within the core of our work, not to make an 'ism' that would be the sum of all of our works. We weren't particularly 'career-minded'. Non-linear is how I would describe the common thread between that group if that's possible, with Artschwager and Guston serving as grandfathers to us. I try to push my work deliberately towards a mannerist sensibility, at least in the manner that Denise Scott Brown spoke of in the videos that accompanied the Piranesi show. Her description, far more eloquent, but to the effect of: "Mannerism stems not from those who are so bored with knowing the existing rules of their art form too well, but as embodying a vitality that comes from an architecture being influenced by many sources, not one." is one I can ascribe to.
When I was in art school in the early 80's, Arte Povera, the Transavanguardia and the Neo-Expressionists were it. In Providence and Rome, we weren't looking at them ironically. It was a way to access history even if the artists' intentions were otherwise. When I moved to Chicago, students weren't wearing their emotions and politics on their sleeves in quite the same way, but there was an undeniable love of the object and paint which comes from the largely Hairy Who faculty and the city itself – the flat light – lack of shadows, little integration of the architecture, every building standing solely and alone. The cities and worlds were compact, so it was possible to make these correlations. NY is not so easy to pin down. It is still thrilling and confounding. I came to understand the importance of what was happening in NY and Warhol through later, mostly Europeans' interpretation of it: Sigmar Polke, Katarina Fritsch, Martin Kippenberger and Christopher Wool – not the other way around, as one might expect, being in NY at the time.
MS: Your paintings are extremely visual and a feast for the eyes. I especially like the way you break the spaces in your work – almost as if you fold the strokes back onto themselves or rip them into other forms. For instance in the work Interrupted Grid on the left the work plays easily on the surface – a sedate abstraction – then it looks as if it rips and tears across the right side of the canvas – stretching the spaces and forms into something else creating a lot of movement and speed. This is a new kind of space in abstract painting – can you tell us more about where this comes from? Are you looking for a deeper expressive possibility by "interrupting the grid"?
JS: I was thinking about the Mannerist architect Vignola and his manipulation of water at Villa Lante when I was making "Interrupted Grid". His use of hidden hydraulics and his labyrinthine design sense allow the water to transform joyously as it traverses the garden. The very same molecules spew, trickle, foam, cascade down stairs, splinter into narratives with nymphs, plateau into a table that begs to be sat at and finally rejoin at the bottom of the hill into four static pools denoting E, W, S, N. It is an elegant and humbling celebration of nature. In this painting, the variation and repetition of orange/brown strokes are an attempt to bring that reintroduction of a constant into varied dialogues within the same painting and stretching that experience out the way Vignola does.
MS: I also am intrigued by the wall drawings that punctuate the painted surfaces. The play between something that looks projected and traced versus the really painted surfaces is stunning. To me this is a very self-conscious provocation. How much of this has to do with the prevalent lens culture that permeates painting these days? Are you making a statement about the "extended field" (gallery as experiential rather than as backdrop) or do you have something else in mind?
JS: The provocation is intentional, but not towards a lens culture as no element in either comes from a projected image. The paintings are initially perceived as abstract because they are just marks, and the drawing representational because they look like objects. However, when the viewer tries to position themselves in relationship with either, they are faced with a contradiction. The 'gaze' of the marks in the paintings is that of a 3/4 view, to be objectified, consumed. The knowingly executed marks on the wall have no fixed reference to proportion so disperse and become musings of abstract energy that come from no one fixed place. The marks within the paintings play off of an established representational space. Relative to the drawing, they become representational. Because one is monochrome and the other not, it is a given that there is no attempt for them to mesh.
In the paintings I am working on now, I am trying to combine the results of that wall drawing/ painting within painting alone. I am looking to establish a 'gaze' within the marks that is frontal, immediate and material, not unlike that middle ground of Courbet. The paintings are comprised of formal swollen grids that present themselves as characters corrupted by ancillary, castrated lines and dashes. This interruption of form prods the viewer to focus on the tension between these schisms and the spectrum of abstraction that each embody. The heightened acidic colors celebrate the spontaneous bobbing between the static and the ephemeral.
MS: Your work is based also on the high classicism of 1950s American Abstract Expressionism – I see DeKooning and Mitchell among others. Hue and value are extremely important in your paintings – more so than for the ABEXers. What did you want to take from that period and how have you moved beyond the overconfident materialism that is prevalent in that sort of work?
JS: Well, I take from everyone I can. I have respect for the ornery rage of Mitchell's works. She approaches nature in a very unforgiving way. I think she also takes that from Courbet and his raucous paint handling. She used color to agitate, so did Elizabeth Murray, and the Mannerists – Pontormo, Beccafumi, Rosso. Theirs was a space of theatricality, truncating space so that it exists in a pile, tumbling out of the canvas. Their use of acidic colors jammed up against one another gives such passage into the angst-filled questioning of religion at that time. DeKooning's Excavation was a pivotal painting for me. I found color in his self-imposed limitations. It was Andre Masson's Massacre Drawings in painted form, roiling bits of humanity seething through snippets of blacks. In his later works, untitled III, 1981, for one, the variety of pastels in the background stops me dead in my tracks with their acuity and ability to destabilize that yellow.
MS: I'm a sucker for Venetian painting. Whether or not it's there I see a lot of the Venetian flow of composition in your work. Especially in the way you move and warp the spaces. In Green Grid you divide the canvas into 3 levels with the composition tearing through the top left and pouring over into the right side. Tintoretto used a similar compositional device in his "Annunciation" in the Scuola di San Rocco. What are your deeper influences and how do they affect your work? How do you incorporate them into the 21st Century?
JS: Yea, the Venetians are amazing. They had a grip on it all – ephemera, clarity, drama, crispness, pathos. Titian is my favorite these days. Tintoretto's Annunciation is fierce. I recently saw Mantegna's Dead Christ and Tintoretto's Discovery of St. Mark's Corpse. I was amazed at a couple of things – one, how lovingly Tintoretto must have studied Dead Christ and two, with how little artifice Mantegna is able to make such a staggering painting. Seeing the Tintoretto, where there is a long arched corridor, a patterned floor, other figures set proportionally in the background, extreme lighting all to get a like effect of this corpse, one realizes just how tremendous a feat Mantegna's painting was.
In Green Grid, I am trying to very literally introduce the green as an element that obliterates but can still exist concurrently… like the green recycling bins in Paris. There is so much refined visual activity in the streets and along the building facades, then there are these huge receptacle blobs, 2 meters tall at most intersections – at once confrontational AND part of the urban fabric. The city ceases to be a historicized cartoon character of itself but dynamic and thriving. The premise behind this series of new paintings is conceptually not so dissimilar to my previous investigations with contradiction.
In 2003, at Galerie Michael Neff, I dissected (non-literally) an earlier painting of mine. For the installation, plywood panels with rough sketches of extracted layers from the painting leaned against the walls. Installed above them were 'masterful' ink drawings of the same painting, but attempting to recreate as opposed to dissect. Following that my work focused on natural ephemeral occurrences (fog, sunlight) and how they could visually transform something massive and static. Using two like images on two separate panels, repetition served to disengage the viewer from a 'gestural abstraction' interpretation. The wall drawings with paintings take that dissemination a little further and these recent paintings take aim at paint and the canvas to describe this. They are not so reliant on illusion to describe a temporal state.
As far as deeper influences, there is something about the perversion of space that infects what I do. Understanding the movements, the nature of the people, the urban fabric or the geological substructure of a place is a method that I latch onto to decipher the structure of the work that has been made there and what I produce. For example, take Italian Baroque architecture and the differences between one city and another – the rawness and the immediacy of the Sicilian and Neopolitan Baroque and how diverse it is from Lecchese or Roman Baroque, but those are societies that flourished under intense turmoil including live volcanoes. It's cliché and base, and of course only a miniscule part of how the work evolved, but it fuels my interest and work.
Since 2001 I have made a conscious effort to be aware of my architectural and geological surroundings and how that alters the work I make. I currently work in three small studios, one downtown, one in Harlem and one in rural Connecticut. Painting is more like a performance. I react to my surroundings, the shape of the studios, the neighborhoods, etc. I'm just a vehicle to harness the energy of contradiction that is out there in my surroundings. The wall drawings provide me the unique opportunity to respond to the immediacy of a lot of different spaces. I still believe that most artists have this 'Rosebud' connection to their sources. I love Polke's description of his use of Ben-day dots – how they stem from his memories of growing up in deprived circumstances in East Germany with poor eyesight, peering longingly at signs at the bread store with the odors wafting around him.
MS: In Rough Trade we discuss the current crisis in abstraction as being located in the nexus of lenses and computers or the programming of visual culture through lenses. We discuss the work of Frank Stella who talks about "working spaces" and David Hockney who talks about "eyeballing" or actually seeing without the lens prosthetic. Can you tell us more about how you've come to paint here in the 21st Century and what issues you see arising for abstraction?
JS: I hesitate to make large statements about art and where it's going to go or what effect my contribution will have. I would be making pedantic illustrations if I knew the answers beforehand.
Take an opportunity to see Jackie's work in person at 11 Rivington starting on January 11 – the opening reception is that day 6-8 pm. For more info on Jackie's works click here to go to her web site.

COLTON - Criminal charges were filed Friday by the District Attorney's Office alleging a police detective embezzled more than $165,000 from his own police union dating back to 2008.
Colton police Detective Wesley Bruhn, 45, is accused of embezzling funds and forging union documents while he was president and treasurer of the Colton Police Officers Association.
He is charged with four counts of grand theft by an employee and one count each of forgery and embezzlement between 2008 and this year, the District Attorney's Office said.
"At this time, a warrant has been issued for Mr. Bruhn's arrest," said district attorney's spokesman Christopher Lee.
Bruhn's Hermosa Beach- based attorney, Corey Glave, said he had not been told by the DA's Office of the charges.
"Since I just found out, I can't respond until I see the charges my client is facing," he said.
Prosecutors say the alleged theft of funds began in 2008 and continued until this year.
The current union president, Rich Randolph, requested an independent audit of the union's finances earlier this year after noticing what he said were discrepancies in the union's budget.
"As a result, indiscretions were confirmed involving one of our board members," Randolph said in August.
Union officials said the police administration and other law-enforcement agencies were alerted after they discovered the funds were missing.
"Once we were alerted to this," said Colton police spokesman Ray Mendez, "Bruhn was immediately put on administrative leave and the case was turned over to the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department for investigation."
Bruhn was put on administrative leave in August.
But Mendez wouldn't disclose whether Bruhn was still being paid.
Bruhn is no longer a member of the union, said Randolph.

Hollywood wakes up to Hispanic demographic, writes Emma Rawson
Judy Reyes' role in the new TV2 drama comedy Devious Maids is the biggest role of her career, but it's a part she almost refused. Written by Marc Cherry, creator of Desperate Housewives, the show centres on five domestic workers sweeping up the dirty secrets of their rich Beverly Hills employers.
Reyes stars alongside Ana Oritz (Ugly Betty) and Roselyn Sanchez (Without a Trace) and Dania Ramirez (Heroes). With the all-star cast and Cherry's trademark stylised melodrama and camp humour, the series was bound to be a hit, but Reyes worried the storylines may perpetuate stereotypes about the Hispanic community.
"My reps are here, and they can attest to the fact that I resisted a lot with this show," says Reyes at the show's launch in Los Angeles.
"I went back and forth and then they said, 'Well, Ana [Oritz] and Roselyn [Sanchez] are doing it', and I said,'Oh'."
That many Latinas are domestic workers in Los Angeles is a reality, says the Scrubs star, but that doesn't mean their story isn't worth telling.
There is struggle and hardship in the 45-year-old's own family. Reyes' parents migrated to the US from the Dominican Republic in the 1960s and she and her three sisters were raised in New York's Bronx.
Reyes' character, Zoila, works alongside her daughter, Valentina, an aspiring fashion designer, and their mother/daughter relationship is based on the Reyes family's experiences as well as her own childhood, watching her mother work long hours in a backbreaking job.
"My mother was a housekeeper and a nanny. You know, there's a stigma to this [kind of job], but this is hard work and this is honourable work. She immigrated here to do this, and she did it well.
"I just became a mum, so there's emotional weight in this role for me. I was also able to draw on the relationship I had with my own Mum, and it became very exciting to me to play someone like her with a working class background and a single-minded focus on doing the best for their kid."
After nine seasons playing nurse Carla on Scrubs, Reyes had largely only managed to find minor acting parts since wrapping the comedy in 2009. The actress has competed for years against her Devious castmates in auditions for mostly marginal roles for Hispanic women in Hollywood.
Devious Maids is their first opportunity to work together and the first show with an all-Latina ensemble on US primetime television. Bringing minorities off the sidelines was worth fighting for, says Reyes.
"This is an opportunity, and things are evolving. But any loss of any kind of money in this business is an excuse for someone to say, 'You see, this is never going to work'.
"If anything, we will have laid the groundwork and have busted our a**** to do something really special with this show."
Devious Maids screens on TV2, Wednesdays, at 9.30pm.
