The cruise line told USA Today that the iPad in each of the liner's 1804 cabins will show the ship's daily listing of activities and events and will allow users to see their personal itinerary on the tablet. The Apple iPad will also allow users to browse the web, watch movies, order room service and view restaurant menus. In other words, the tablet will be like a portable version of the interactive television system found on the ship.
Within the next two years, 5 of the line's 22 ships will be renovated while dry docked and also will be set up with a iPad in each cabin. Those ships include the Legend of the Seas, Grandeur of the Seas, Rhapsody of the Seas, Enchantment of the Seas and Vision of the Seas.

Jan. 16, 2011
Seniors Boris Conkic and John-Patrick Smith have only played nine matches together in their careers at Tennessee, but they are anything but inexperienced on the doubles court.
After all, each has won more than 90 doubles matches as a Vol.
That maturity showed on the court Sunday when Conkic and Smith fell behind early but settled in for an 8-6 victory over the 11th-ranked Florida pair of Alexandre Lacroix and Nassim Slilam in the semifinals of the SEC Coaches Indoor Championships.
The Vol duo plays Georgia's Javier Garrapiz and Hernius Pieters, the No. 2-seeded team, in the championship match Monday at 10 a.m. at the Goodfriend Tennis Center on Tennessee's campus. The match is free to attend.
Smith will play for his second career SEC Indoors doubles title. His first came in 2009 as a sophomore with Davey Sandgren.
Smith had lost his semifinal singles match to Kentucky's top-seeded Eric Quigley less than an hour before returning to the courts to play for a spot in the doubles championship with Conkic.
Conkic and Smith fell behind 1-2 before winning the next three games against Lacroix and Slilam to take a 4-2 lead. Florida's team eventually broke Conkic's serve and eventually tied the match 4-4.
Both teams continued to hold serve after that point, and Smith's strong service game gave the Vols a 7-6 lead at the changeover. With Lacroix serving, Conkic forced the match point with a volley over the net at 30-30. Smith sealed the victory with a shot on the next point.
"We can always find a solution to get out of trouble," Conkic said. "We are very focused in key moments, and that helps a lot."
Conkic and Smith have played four matches together this spring, all of them wins. In the fall of 2009, they teamed up for the first time after a week's practice to become the second Tennessee team to ever win the ITA All-American Championships. They jumped all the way to fourth in the national rankings as a result, even though they played no more matches together as juniors.
Still, the two have played their share of matches together against top-flight opponents. Including Sunday's win, five of their nine victories have come against teams ranked in the top 20.
Experience counts, no matter the partner, Conkic said. He won 34 matches last year with sophomore Rhyne Williams. Smith, a two-time NCAA Doubles Finalist, has spent most of his career playing with former Vols Davey Sandgren and Kaden Hensel.
"Even before college, we played a lot of doubles," Conkic said. "Especially now in college, we've played 100-and-something matches in the last three years, so we're just improving every year, I think that's what makes us a good team now."
Smith started Sunday with hopes of also repeating his 2009 singles title, but he got off to a slow start and lost to Quigley 6-3, 7-5 in the semifinals. Earlier in the quarterfinals, the UT senior beat Florida's Sekou Bangoura Jr., the fifth seed in the tournament, 6-2, 6-1. Smith enters the dual match season with an 18-7 record.
The singles championship match pits Quigley against Wil Spencer of Georgia, who defeated teammate and No. 3 seed Javier Garrapiz 6-4, 6-1 in the semifinals. The final begins at 10 a.m.
Conkic was the lone Vol to win both his consolation matches, picking up straight set victories over Max Gregor of Mississippi State and Daniil Proskura of Alabama. Conkic had been the defending singles champion but was upset Friday by Georgia's Ignacio Taboada.
"I'm happy how I performed today -- It was much better than the first day," Conkic said. "I'm feeling much better. I hope I'll play better and better."

If you didn't read the small print before you installed Lion you may have restarted your Mac to a bit of an unpleasant surprise. Rosetta, the invisible emulation environment that was a part of both Leopard and Snow Leopard and allowed you to run PowerPC applications, has gone the way of the dinosaur with Lion.
Unfortunately, this means that Quicken, Inuit's deprecated but still ubiquitous personal finance management application, will no longer work on your Mac. How do you manage your personal finances if Quicken won't work with Lion? Fortunately there are several alternatives to help you keep tabs on your cash flow.
IGG Software's iBank ( Macworld rated 4 out of 5 mice ; $60, Mac App Store link) has long been the heir apparent to the Mac personal finance empire. Thoughtfully designed and easy to use, iBank is updated on a regular basis and the developer is attentive to customer needs, which means that the features you want typically show up when the application is updated.
What makes iBank a worthwhile replacement for Quicken is the fact that, like Quicken, it is capable of automatically downloading your banking information. What's more, if iBank can't import the data automatically, it's intelligent enough to use your bank's Web banking site to automatically import the files that you download manually. Great graphs, great features, and intelligent design make iBank an excellent Quicken alternative.
No Thirst Software's Moneywell ($50; Mac App Store link) remains one of my favorite personal finance applications largely because it helps you budget your finances, rather then just helping you see where you've spent your money. This makes Moneywell different—and I think better—than almost every other personal finance application currently available for the Mac.
Moneywell uses the "envelope" method of money management to help you divvy your dollars up before you spend them. This makes it quick and easy to see whether or not you're living within your budget and it also makes it possible for you to take cash from one category and, when necessary, use it in another. Like iBank, Moneywell makes it easy to import your banking data, and offers excellent graphs and a number of other tools to manage your income and expenses.
Money 4
Money 4 ($19; Mac App Store link) is Jumsoft's Quicken alternative and, like iBank, is often updated and constantly adding new features. Money 4 has the look and feel of most Apple applications, a small sidebar on the left displays a list of all your accounts and a collection of the tools you'll need to view reports and manage your finances.
While Money 4 doesn't quite have the depth of features of iBank or Moneywell, it offers up enough (including thirteen financial reports) to help you keep a tab on your finances. It also does a great job of importing the banking files you download from your bank.
While it's easy to complain about Intuit and the fact that they seem to have left Quicken users out in the cold, you may want to consider the company's stellar online personal finance management alternative, Mint.com (free). While you may be reticent to leave your financial data hanging around in the cloud, there are some features about this web-based app that make it particularly valuable. First, it's capable of connecting to and automatically collecting data from virtually every financial institution that you work with, from your mortgage company to your local bank. Second, with a very little bit of training, Mint.com can take that data, categorize and analyze it so that you can see exactly how your cash is flowing and where you need to tighten your belt.
The only downside is that, while Mint.com is free, you will find yourself being gently pitched for new credit cards and bank account options. Plus, the cloud can be a scary place to keep your personal banking info. That aside, for me, Mint offers the best, most Quicken-like experience of all the applications offered here.
A word to the wise
Chances are that if you're a long time Quicken user, you've invested quite a bit of time in the application and you have a significant amount of data saved in the application. Before you upgrade to Lion you'll need to export that data in a format that that can be imported using whatever application you're planning to use once you make the switch. Most of the applications mentioned here can import QIF or CSV files, but you'll want to make sure that you can import the data before you upgrade. Fortunately all the applications mentioned here will work in both Lion and Snow Leopard, so you can make sure that everything works properly before you make the switch.

Finding an apartment can be a grueling experience, but with research and planning your search will be easier. Federal and state rental programs can lend a hand by helping low-income tenants apply for apartments with reduced rental payments. These programs can also help with other aspects of renting, such as coming up with a rental deposit and paying for utilities.
Public Housing Programs
The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) helps low-income families find quality, affordable housing. Today, over 1 million households live in public housing units. You can contact your local housing authority or HUD field office to get help applying for and finding an apartment. To qualify, you have to meet certain income guidelines, be elderly or have a disability, and be a U.S. citizen or legal immigrant. Reference checks are also required. Each county and city has its own public housing agency. HUD has a list of contact information for every state and county. The income limits to apply vary from area to area. To qualify for low-income housing, your household income needs to be 80 percent or less than the median income of the county or city you live in. Huduser.com provides a list of income limits by state and county.
Privately Owned Subsidized Housing Programs
Privately owned subsidized housing programs help landlords who are willing to offer reduced rents to low-income tenants. The tenant pays a percentage of the rent based on his income. The government pays the difference to the apartment owner. These programs are managed by each county and metropolitan area public housing agency.
Section 8 Voucher Programs
The Section 8 Voucher Program is the main federal government program for helping very low-income families. Very low-income families are those with a household income of 50 percent or less than the median income of the county or city they live in. Through this program, participants can look for their own apartments and pay a percentage of the rent while the housing authority pays the rest directly to the landlord. This allows families to choose where to live instead of being restricted to public housing projects.

The Crab, Wantage Road, Chieveley, Berkshire (01635 247 550). Meal for two, including wine and service, £60-140
I have noted before the curious aesthetics we insist upon from seafood restaurants, but nowhere makes the point more starkly than the Crab, at Chieveley in Berkshire. We never insist that a real steak house should be one with a view of the cattle shed and the abattoir, the meal punctuated by the sound of the fizzing stun gun. Indeed, for me, a steak house is an entirely urban experience, far away from the farm. But we do expect fish restaurants to be down by the sea. I'm sure this is because, foolishly, we assume this guarantees freshness, when in truth much of the fish we eat around Britain's shores has been on a round trip to Billingsgate and back by the time it reaches our plates. Logically, therefore, a British fish restaurant could be anywhere.
Still there is something eccentric about the Crab, a converted country pub with rooms in the rolling hills outside Newbury, where the menu is up to its nipples in fantastic seafood. Outside, there is a little tropical foliage and by the door there are blackboards with the names of fish chalked upon them. There is a display case of fine specimens as you come in, and the low ceilings in the two dining rooms are slung with fishing nets (laced through with horse-racing memorabilia). From my table, in the more informal of the two rooms, I expected to hear the rush and suck of waves but, instead, could see only a field recently harvested to stubble.
No matter. The sea is on the plate. There are non-fish options - duck, mango and coriander salad among the starters, steak among the mains - but why would you want them? All the basics are here, including platters of smoked salmon or oysters, bowls of mussels, fruits de mer and bouillabaisse, but there is more complex stuff, too, served by staff who showed real enthusiasm. The declaration of intent came in the platter that landed on the table as I arrived, holding peeled prawns, a coarse tapenade and some exemplary aioli, lifted by the addition of saffron. I started with a salad of chilli salt squid, and although the slick of sweet chilli sauce at the bottom was too strident for my liking, the inclusion of crystallised ginger showed thoughtfulness.
My main course displayed the benefits of a kitchen that cooks seafood all the time. Lobster, removed from the shell, was broken up and then returned to it mixed with scallops and king prawns, before being grilled with garlic butter, but only lightly. Lobster is a delicate meat and needs only a blush of heat to make it shine. That's what it had been given here. None of this comes cheap, and nor should it. Eating seafood in these days of depleted stocks is a luxury and should sting the wallet like one; but once you've made the financial commitment, you need to know the raw ingredients are going to get the care they deserve. At the Crab they clearly do. (Though there is a good-value lunch menu at a shade under £20 for three courses, and wines start in the mid-teens.) I finished with a light vanilla panna cotta with strawberries, which again proved this to be a kitchen which recognises the virtues of basic skills.
I have only one complaint: the appalling music on the sound system. We all know that Spanish pop music is bad, but this was unnecessarily awful - though even I can tolerate such a banshee wail when the seafood is this good. With or without a view of the sea.

LAKE FOREST, IL – The Chicago Bears agreed to terms with C Brian de la Puente on a one-year contract.
The 6-3, 306-pound de la Puente has started 44-of-48 games played over the last three seasons (2011-13) for the New Orleans Saints, with all 44 starts coming at center. He also started all four postseason contests at center during his time in New Orleans.
Over the last three seasons, de la Puente manned the middle of a Saints offensive line that allowed just 87 sacks, second fewest in the NFL. During that time, the Saints offense was second in the league in scoring offense (29.6 points per game) and tops in the NFL in total offense (425.8 yards per game) and passing offense (318.0 ypg). New Orleans' offense had at least 400 yards in 30 of the 44 regular season contests de la Puente started at center and all four postseason games.
He originally entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent of the 49ers in 2008 out the University of California, spending part of that season on Kansas City's active roster but not appearing in a game. The San Clemente, Calif. native also spent time on the practice squads of the Chiefs, Panthers and Seahawks.

About Pam
I had been a fairly athletic child. I involved myself in sports such as water skiing and gymnastics and had noticed that I was somewhat strong. You never realize what your strength may be needed for in the future, but it is a great foundation to start with. I found out shortly after my husband and I were married that I would need that strength to carry my husband; literally. Young and energetic about life we were married and knew that life was full of opportunity. Then disaster struck and Jim was diagnosed with a brain tumor at age 24. Inoperable according to some neurosurgeons, I wondered what we were supposed to do; wait for him to die? We found a surgeon who was willing to attempt the extraction of the brain tumor. The neurosurgeon discovered during surgery that he would not be able to extract all of it as it was attached to the brain stem. The after affect of this invasive surgery was challenging. Through epidural hematomas, subdural hematomas, pneumonia, and other complications too numerous to mention, we began his rehabilitation. I had been given brochures for "skilled nursing facilities" because the doctors didn't think he was going to progress. Well, my miracle hubby progressed, ever so slowly, but he progressed. It took him 3 months to relearn how to talk (still struggles with being completely understood as he slurs a bit) and it took him a year to relearn how to walk. Technically he should be using a walker even today but his pride and desire for independence keeps him from using one.
During this tragic time I used food to cope. It was literally my ONLY pleasure. I think I had a love affair with the local mexican restaurant and their Ultimate Nachos! Brownies and cookies were my friend too. My once somewhat athletic body shifted to an obese body, topped with pregnancy and stretch marks. Looking in the mirror only made me more depressed and led me to eat more. This was the start of a vicious cycle of bingeing and dieting.
I had always had a fascination with the women bodybuilders from the 1980/90s. I had poured through muscle magazines in the early 1990s and thought maybe one day I could compete. I never really believed I could do it until I made a change back in 2000 when I read the book Body for Life. Believe it or not, I lost 100 pounds and competed in amateur bodybuilding after a year and a half of training.* I set out to win the Colorado State Title. It took me 3 years to do it and I got the Colorado State Bodybuilding Championship ring… a dream come true! Little did I know that I would not be able to maintain my physique.
Through an excruciating back injury that kept me out of the gym and having to cope with my hubby's disability needs, I used excuses to not exercise and to eat poorly. My weight ballooned to 255 lbs on this 5′ 6″ frame. It shames me to admit I was even considering gastric bypass! I managed to get my back problem fixed (the GREATEST relief EVER!) And I gradually got back to the gym and managed to gradually reduce the quantity of food I was eating and lose 50 pounds over the course of 2 years. * I was VERY happy that I didn't do it too fast as was able to modify lifestyle choices permanently. Then I was poking around on bodybuilding dot com and saw the 100K Dymatize challenge! I upped my game and started working harder in the gym and eating with more discipline. I finished the challenge so proud of my accomplishment! It was then that a bodybuilding friend mentioned an upcoming natural bodybuilding show in just three weeks from my after picture date! I decided it was time to make a comeback and compete again. Ten years from my last Colorado State victory, I took the Colorado state bodybuilding title again! I surely did not expect to win the title after just getting back into the sport.
Since this time my hubby of 24 years has decided to move out and "find himself". This has been a particularly hard time in my life that I don't understand and from which I experience a lot of pain. We have decided to pursue our own unique lives and each start our own new chapter and have gotten an amicable divorce. Regardless of all this craziness, I have stayed true to my goals and have competed as a Pro in the 2014 INBA/PNBA Team USA placing 2nd in the nation and the 2014 Pro Natural Olympia placing 4th in the world. Not bad for a 49 year old former obese mother!
*Note: Results may vary from person to person.

Re: V9 !!!
Concerning the Input Assistant, Ctrl+K now invokes the completion menu.
But the completion menu comes up automatically when you need it, and
invoking a completion is as simple as pressing Enter or Tab. I, for
one, didn't really use Ctrl+K all that much before, but I am using this
all the time, now. In observing other people use Mathematica, I see
people getting used to using this very quickly, and it being very easy
to adopt. There are a few tweaks we could stand to make, yet, but it
seems to be a big win for everyone I've seen.
Concerning templates for custom functions, believe it or not, I didn't
see a single feedback about this during fairly extensive beta testing.
But you haven't been the only one to raise the issue since release, and
it's pretty high on my list of things to look into.
Concerning the color palette, I don't understand why you would say
this. As far as I can tell, your statement is simply wrong. It *does*
remember its state (which groups are open and closed) and its position
without having to make horrifying permissions changes to your
application install. Since version 7 (I believe), we have been writing
palette metadata as part of the preferences instead of writing directly
to palette files. Because, frankly, we are ages beyond the day when we
could safely assume that parts of the installation can or should be
overwritten at the file level by users.

Morgan Motor, the British niche sports car maker, is bringing back an updated version of the original Morgan 3-Wheeler.
Morgan got its start in 1910 with three-wheel cars and didn't add a fourth wheel until the 1930s. It also didn't use hydraulic brakes until the 1950s and was still using wood frames until the 1960s, so such a retro product is no surprise.
The video above shows a little of Morgan's three-wheel history -- some 1-liter speed records set by 1930s Morgan 3's still stand -- as well as a preview of the new 3-Wheeler.
Power comes from a 115-hp. v-twin, fuel-injected engine mated to a Mazda 5-speed gearbox (yes, it has reverse, too). A V belt drives the rear wheel.
A tubular chassis includes roll bars for driver and passenger, and the bodywork is aluminum. The cockpit features padded leather and aircraft-style instruments. The overall design goal was an airplane look and feel.
Morgan says it has U.S. and Euro safety and emissions approval for the 3-Wheeler, which will start for the equivalent of $40,200 in the U.K. A long list of personalization options, including polished and chrome parts and graphics packages, could run that up.

A Pc War That's Not Exactly P.C.Larry Armstrong and Gary Mcwilliams
Compaq Computer Corp. tried everything. Lots of advertising, lawsuits, pleas to state attorneys general. All that, and its two-year-old push to move personal computers into the home remains bedeviled by Packard Bell Electronics Inc., a $3 billion rival. Now, no more nice-guy stuff: Compaq, it seems, has resorted to insults.
At a June trade show, Compaq Senior Vice-President Ross Cooley characterized Packard Bell as nothing but "some Mexican factories and four Chinese engineers," according to a wire-service report. Packard Bell Chief Executive Beny Alagem, an Israeli immigrant, demanded an apology from Compaq CEO Eckhard Pfeiffer. "Clearly, Compaq is feeling the heat," Alagem says. "But there is no excuse for its executives to make racial slurs." Cooley declined to comment.
This little lovefest began on Apr. 10, when Compaq sued Packard Bell in Federal District Court in Wilmington, Del., charging it with false advertising. The suit came after Packard Bell PCs outshipped Compaq's for three straight quarters (chart). Compaq's gripe: Packard Bell wasn't telling consumers that some of its computers were made with used parts.
DAMAGE CONTROL. In fact, Packard Bell hadn't been entirely up front about its use of the parts. And within days, a score of copycat class-actions were filed against it. Then, in late April, Compaq blanketed state attorneys general with an eight-page letter urging them to "consider an investigation...to determine if firms such as Packard Bell are not honoring the legal distinction between used and new products." Twelve states, led by Florida, launched a joint probe in June.
Just then, Cooley opened his mouth. The Associated Press story reporting his trade-show comments also inferred that Compaq had studied Packard Bell's business model and had determined that its rival's profit margins were too thin to withstand the added costs of litigation. "Mr. Cooley has basically drafted Packard Bell's complaint for malicious prosecution with his own mouth," says attorney Marshall B. Grossman, who represents Packard Bell.
Compaq's damage-control specialists now are trying to clean up the mess. A spokesman says Cooley wasn't implying that the lawsuit was intended to force Packard Bell to raise prices by burdening it with legal costs. Rather, the spokesman says, Cooley meant that if Compaq wins its suit, Packard Bell likely would have to bring its manufacturing practices in line with Compaq's. That could "cause [Packard Bell] to raise prices at least 10%," says David Wu, PC analyst at S.G. Warburg & Co.
Packard Bell recertifies good components from computers returned by customers and uses them to build new computers. Other PC makers do the same. Indeed, there is a class-action suit pending against Dell Computer Corp. in a Texas court alleging it failed to notify customers that used parts were included in its machines. Compaq uses only new components, selling returned machines as used in its factory store in Houston.
The distinction between new and used can be a fine one: Clothing and other goods are commonly returned to mail-order houses and department stores, where they are put back on the shelves to be resold as new. A computer processor that has been used for several thousand calculations is indistinguishable from one just off the shelf. Indeed, manufacturers routinely "burn in" their products by running them for several hours to test them.
"NECK AND NECK." The Federal Trade Commission informally has asked several computer makers, among them Compaq and Packard Bell, for information. Packard Bell is urging the FTC to escalate its inquiry into a formal rulemaking procedure "so that we have government review and sanction of the practice on an industrywide basis," says attorney Grossman.
So far, though, there's no evidence that Compaq's verbal and legal broadside has slowed Packard Bell. "We think that Packard Bell and Compaq will end up neck and neck for No.1 this year," says Eric R. Lewis, PC analyst at International Data Corp. Indeed, Packard Bell is just weeks away from shipping its new fall line--which should allow it to keep its lead in the market. One new feature: fine print to the effect that its computers may contain "serviceable used" parts. Compaq already is considering turning the admission into full-page comparison ads. The battle, it seems, has a long way to go.

Not many people know this, but the Ravens can thank a rabbit named Bunbun for their Superbowl win. You're probably wondering how a Mini Rex rabbit is directly responsible for this win. In order for this miracle to make sense, I need to tell you about my first encounter with my girlfriend Kelly's family.
I was invited to their house in Abingdon, MD (A suburb of Baltimore) to watch Superbowl 47. My first impression was that her family is very pet friendly. They have two birds, one pug, and one luck-inducing bunny. We were all having a good time, eating the usual Superbowl fare, when I saw something a bit strange: during the second half of the game, Kelly's father placed Bunbun on his shoulder where he remained for the rest of the game. When I asked why, her father informed me that the rabbit happened to be sitting there during a post-season game that the Ravens had won, and it was then decided that Bunbun was good luck. Bunbun simply had to watch the second half of every game on Kelly's father's shoulder or risk the Ravens' winning streak. Perhaps the luck has something to do with his feet? Maybe it's his fluffy fur? His pink eyes? No one can be sure, but this good luck talisman clearly was working, and the Superbowl was obviously no exception. Bunbun, however, is indifferent to his role in the win and when asked about his involvement with the power outage he simply wiggles his nose.

by Jennifer Ernst -- I've often heard "brainstorming" touted as a way to make an organizational culture more innovation-friendly. After all, brainstorming is practiced in organizations such as IDEO and Apple, highly regarded for their innovative cultures. No argument there: brainstorms, if well-constructed, can be a great source of new ideas.
But the problem for many companies isn't a lack of ideas. More often, it's a lack of high-quality ideas, and poor practices for supporting the transformation from idea to innovation -- i.e., the implementation. In these cases, open-ended idea generation isn't likely to lead to organizational wins. These organizations need to focus on improving the quality of ideas and the mechanisms for selecting and supporting them going forward.
Brainstorms are an interesting technique to look at, because they represent a microcosm of organizational behaviors... the behaviors that support or undermine innovation. Let's look at some concrete ways to get both quality and execution out of this standard idea-generation technique.
1. Don't call it a "brainstorm". Calling it something special makes people self-conscious and even triggers skepticism. Just tell the team you want to spend some time getting their ideas about Topic X.
2. Know what you plan to do with the outcomes. Before calling a team together, be sure you'll be able to dedicate resources (time, funding, people) to support small experiments with several of the ideas. If not, you'll just breed frustration and annoyance — and waste everyone's time, including yours.
3. Go somewhere, anywhere, that isn't your usual meeting spot. Just be sure you have a place to capture ideas where everyone can see them, and that it doesn't feel too contrived. (I tried doing a creative session on a playground once. Let's just say that one didn't work so well.) If you don't have the luxury of floor-to-ceiling whiteboards (PARC is filled with these), big pieces of foamcore are a great alternative.
4. Adopt a "Yes, and" protocol during the session, as opposed to "yeah, but" statements. Actually, everyone should try this outside the idea generation session, too.
5. Provide advance reading and questions. Many people don't like to be put on the spot, and are reluctant to speak out if they think someone else in the group knows more about the topic than they do. Pre-reading allows everyone to get up to speed and, more importantly, establishes some common points of reference.
6. Brainstorm constraints first. This one is counter to most advice on brainstorming, but it works in a lot of situations. All of us carry around unspoken assumptions about what's allowed and what's not. By getting those assumptions on the table early, you can explicitly acknowledge ones that are real and disabuse the ones you need people to put aside.
7. Develop ideas iteratively. Start with one topic, then filter the outcome. Expand around that and build on a handful of the most promising ones. To do this, you need to define criteria for filtering. Some teams are able to generate this criteria within the idea generation session. If this is completely new territory, though, I suggest having some loose criteria going in. Let your team focus on generating the real ideas.
8. Avoid "sticky idea" syndrome. This is where the person who comes up with an idea feels that they will automatically get stuck implementing it. For collaborative idea development to work, people have to feel free to express ideas without thinking they're automatically signing up for additional work.
9. Design small experiments and check back. It's unlikely you'll have 5 brilliant ideas come out of a session, but you might get 5 good discussions started among small teams. Quickly, though, you'll want to come back and review which ones should be cultivated further and which ones didn't seem to pan out (and why -- these can help with listing constraints and filters for future brainstorming sessions). Perhaps some should be combined, some abandoned, and some shelved for later; hopefully there's at least one that's worth taking a little further.
10. Embrace failure. Everyone says some variation of this but I must repeat it: Failure. is. part. of. the. process. You should stretch far enough that you have a chance to model a willingness to accept failure. Be sure, too, that everyone who participates along the way has a chance to see the results as they unfold. It's the only way to create shared learning -- just monitor yourself to be sure you're teaching (and learning) what you want along the way.

Merger with GANA Discussed at IGMA Conference
February 9, 2009
Meetings & Events
The Insulating Glass Manufacturers Alliance Annual Conference kicked off Feb. 3 in San Diego with an update of the organization's possible merger with the Glass Association of North America. The motivation for the proposed merger is to: consolidate advocacy efforts, consolidate industry technical expertise and resources, provide joint marketing efforts and reduce duplicate efforts, said Margaret Webb, IGMA executive director. Additionally, a merger would create an association with all glass products under one umbrella, and provide members with one membership fee.
The associations first announced the possible merger on the last day of the GANA Fall Conference last September. Under the terms of the proposed merger, IGMA would take over the Insulating Glass Division of GANA, focusing on certification, technical development and research. IGMA would retain its board of directors, with two members representing the group on the GANA board. Marketing and education activities would be handled by GANA.
Webb presented the timeline for merger considerations and discussed some IGMA member concerns about the proposed merger, based on results of a 2008 membership survey.
Things will be "business as usual" for both associations for 2009 and 2010, with a ballot likely ready for the IGMA membership vote by late 2010, Webb said. IGMA's membership will vote on the merger proposal. "Because a merger would be a legal change in IGMA, it has to go to the membership," Webb said. GANA officials are verifying with legal counsel as to whether a vote will be required by the GANA membership.
Webb and Bill Yanek, GANA executive vice president, met and outlined milestones for the groups to reach throughout the next two years. Most notably, the groups will establish two joint task groups to head the proposal; and to oversee finances, perform ample due diligence to exchange information and learn the interworking of each organization, and draft the merger proposal, Webb explained.
Additionally, the groups will set a communication schedule to exchange information between the organizations and to disseminate information to members. "We want you to know what's going on, and we want your input," Webb said.
IGMA members raised several major issues in the 2008 survey. Some members said they were concerned that IGMA would not sustain its Canada/United States balance as part of GANA. While IGMA's membership is split evenly between the countries, GANA's membership is primarily from the United States.
Members also worried about the potential loss of balance between the residential and commercial markets. IGMA's activities and membership are evenly divided between the segments; GANA operates primarily in the commercial market. Webb added that members also expressed concern about the possible influence of GANA's flat glass manufacturer members on IGMA activities.
During the IGMA meeting, attendees offered additional concerns and comments. Ken Brendan, technical standards manager for the American Architectural Manufacturers Association, asked whether the merger would slow down progress of IGMA activities. "IGMA is able to move through things quickly. There's the possibility of retardation of IGMA processes in a bigger organization," he said.
Jean Tremblay, executive vice president for AIPVFQ, the Quebec glass and window association, questioned whether IGMA members, GANA members and the industry would benefit from the merger. "Why do we need to be Walmart, selling everything to everyone," he said. The effectiveness of IGMA may be lost in an association with such a large industry scope, he added.
Webb and Greg Carney, GANA technical director, addressed many of the concerns during the meeting and emphasized that they wanted to do what was best for the industry and for each of the associations, whether that means merging or remaining separate. "The merger needs to be a win-win for this to work out," Webb pointed out.
GANA is not going into the discussions with "a set objective," Carney added. "We have an objective to strengthen the industry. … We feel [a merger] is worth investigating. … If we find it's not the best option for the industry, we won't do it, and will continue to wear our separate hats to our meetings and work together as we have been."

Jason Grilli Wading Through Offers; Pirates Made Their Offer
News and Rumors
You could either file that headline under "Pointing Out the Obvious Possibilities" or "Most Vague News Ever". In this case it's more of the latter. Jason Grilli tweeted the following early this morning.
Based on those comments, we can only assume that he's heading to Nashville to sign a deal. Tom Singer mentions that Grilli is expected to take the stage as a new owner of a two-year deal. At this point we don't know who Grilli will be signing with, and honestly we don't know for sure that he will sign today. To the second point, I don't think he'd be heading to Nashville, and talking about his long journey to this point if he wasn't at a conclusion. He's been connected to the Cubs and the Brewers, and the Pirates want to brin...

Oh, and there are soo many new smell to smell and dog parks to go to I'm loven it. I met some new doggie friend the other day, two rat terriers and their three puppies what a happy family. the puppies tried playing with me the whole time. Also my friend Jessie and her dog Achellies came over yesterday for a sumber party at my apartment. We had the best time going for a walk and playing together except he still alittle jumpy sense he's only a dobby puppy. Oh Happy Days, it's get to be a dog.
HURRAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THERE IS NO SCHOOL TODAY BECAUSE IT'S A SNOW DAY! That means that my mother gets to stay home ALL DAY and that means more play time with me! We got to sleep in and then we did some reading. She is reading this boring book call "Dante's Inferno" so, I try to lighten up the mood by getting in her way of reading. I don't get much prays for this act so, when she tells me to stop I go and play with a toy. I have been practiceing for our road trip by sitting in this red backpack which is also a seatbelt. I don't like that backpack but, I will sit in it because she gives me treats when I am in the backpack. I am going to play out in the snow and maybe walk to the store see ya latter.
~ Mr. Zib
Today I played in the snow. I helped my mother build a snowman and I was going to ad my personal scent but, she said " that it was un nessisary" I only want to be known to my public. We went sledding and I barked all the way down the hill. I am sure glad that my mother is back from her trip I really missed her.

This is a recipe that I've been waiting for a few months to share with you. The reason it took me so long to post it? I had to test it several times to make it juuuuuust right! Poor me, having to "test" brownies…HA! It's a tough life being a food blogger. 🙂
I even had a version that I made just before Mother's Day a few weeks ago using raspberry jam and black beans, but the silken tofu in my original formula ended up with a lighter, smoother consistency. There is a blend of coconut oil and applesauce in my final version, too, which I tested in several ratios to find the right one. In other words, I really do think after all that
work fun I've come up with a winning recipe.
The kind folks at Vitacost.com were intrigued when I told them I was working on a brownie recipe using tofu, and so they even decided to sponsor this post by sending me the ingredients. I've included links to their website within the recipe if you want to click through.
This is what the batter of these babies looks like just before baking:
Granted, these Tofu Chocolate Brownies are not necessarily meant to be the healthiest treat in the whole world and they use a good amount of coconut sugar to sweeten, not to mention handfuls of vegan chocolate chips. But, they are good – and I mean, good.
Out of consideration for my nutritarian friends, though, if you're looking for an oil-free version of brownies, then you might want to consider this one that does include beans as well as almond butter. Or, if you're looking to cut back on the sugar, then I would suggest you substitute date sugar for the coco sugar in this recipe and just leave out the chocolate chips.
The recipe for this version is here:Print
Tofu Chocolate Brownies
- Yield: 10
- Category: Dessert
- 1 ¼ cup gluten-free flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- 2/3 cup cocoa powder
- 2 cups coconut sugar
- 1 cup dairy-free chocolate chips, plus an extra 1/3 to 1/2 cup for topping, if desired
- 12.3 ounce package silken tofu
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup applesauce
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Spray an 8×8" baking dish with non-stick spray and set aside.
- Combine the gluten-free flour, baking powder, cinnamon, cocoa powder, coconut sugar, and chocolate chips in a large mixing bowl. Use a whisk to combine.
- Next, place the tofu, almond milk, vanilla extract, and applesauce in the base of a blender or food processor and process until combined.
- Pour the mixture from the blender into the dry ingredients and use a spatula to stir together. Lastly, stir in the coconut oil.
- Transfer the batter into the baking dish, sprinkle the top with the extra chocolate chips (for extra sweetness, if desired) and bake for 45 minutes. Let cool thoroughly before serving for the best texture and flavor.
For the best texture and sweetness, I recommend chilling the brownies complete before serving. That is, if you can wait that long. Enjoy!!!

The yellow railings along the west edge of the Princeton Post Office parking lot were recently put up because of a "hazardous situation," according to Princeton Postmaster Arlene Duenow.
The railings prevent vehicles from being driven between the parking lot and the alley just west of the lot.
The hazardous situation, Duenow said, had to do with some drivers entering the parking lot from Rum River Drive and driving west across the parking lot to the mail drop box in the alley to insert mail, and then making a U-turn. Those drivers would then drive back east across the lot and out, Duenow said.
Some of her employees complained about that being a hazard to them when they were in the lot.
When the complaints from postal employees grew, Duenow made some calls, and representatives of the Princeton city public works department and from the Postal Service office in Minneapolis came to check out the situation. The recommendation that came out of that visit was to put up the barrier, Duenow said.
Duenow added that the mailbox along the west edge of the alley has been hit multiple times by vehicles. It "crushed the box's snorkel," Duenow noted.
The snorkel is the part that projects out from the box that a person drops their letters into, she explained. Duenow indicated that there wouldn't have been any such damage to the drop box had drivers not been making the big U-turn to pass by the drop box. The intent of having the drop box there is for drivers to go north on that one-way alley, drop in their mail and then continue straight down the alley to exit at the end, Duenow said.
Since the barriers were put up, there has been an increase in drivers turning into the private business parking lot just north of the post office parking lot, Duenow added.
Many have asked why the barriers are there and once post office staff members have explained the reasons the inquirers are all right with it, Duenow said.
It was just a case of "too much traffic used incorrectly in the parking lot," she said, adding that there were "several near incidents of employees getting hit" prior to the barriers going up. Duenow characterized the situation as "an accident about to happen."

Are the players and coaches putting the Chargers' loss behind them?
Fisher: "It stays with the coaches maybe a day longer than it does with the players. Everything is fine. We have put it behind us. We had a good day. The intention is coming off a physical game like that we are going to get the bodies back first. That is why we cut down a little bit today. I'm going to let them rest up in the morning and we will go later tomorrow afternoon. They are fine. They like the plan and they understand the challenge. They have respect obviously for the Chiefs and what they have done. They understand that despite the fact that [the Chiefs] have lost six in a row, they have lost a number of games to some very good teams. They beat some teams that we have struggled with, so there is a respect factor there. We know we are going into a tough place to play and we have to get ready for it. "
Do you think former Titans coach Gunther Cunningham gets excited to go against old friends?
Fisher: "Those were some fun years with him on the staff. We have only gone up against him once since he left and they got the better end of it in a shootout. We are kind of looking forward to this one. He has done a nice job with the defense. They are in a position now where they have lost several running backs and they are playing a young quarterback and they are going to finish the season up and look toward next year, but they would like nothing more than to displace us from the playoffs, I'm sure. "
What will be the challenge of Michael Roos blocking Jared Allen?
Fisher: "He is one of the top defensive linemen in the game right now. He is very, very active. You could put #93 on him and put him on our team and the two are very similar. They go all day long. It will be a big challenge for Mike, but so far Mike has handled those kinds of challenges. "
Do you talk to your team about the playoffs?
Fisher: "They are fully aware of the fact that we need to win out and the only way to win out is to win the next game. There was a time last year when I discussed it and discussed it with them. Let's face it, they go on NFL.com and look at the playoff scenarios so I might as well explain it to them in my own terms. That is what we have done. "
How is Vince Young?
Fisher: "He threw the ball and moved around well. He got through it. We had some guys that we did not practice today that I think will practice tomorrow. He wasn't one of them. "
How is LenDale White's progress in the run game?
Fisher: "It is consistency week after week after week. He gets himself ready to play. He is practicing well. He is fighting through the normal nicks that you get at this time of the year as a running back. His vision, his strength and his extra effort … the third-and-one play was as good of a third-and-one play as you are going to see. He got a lot of help in the game. I thought we blocked some things very well for him. He understands concepts. He is smart runner. He understands protections and concepts. In addition to being smart, he is instinctive. He sees very well and is powerful. "
Does Tony Gonzales pose a similar threat as Antonio Gates?
Fisher: "Yeah, Tony's a really good football player. The thing that is impressive about Tony is that Tony is going to play 100 miles an hour whether they're up by 21 or if it's the case like last week when they got down. He finished the game – he got hurt, he came back in and finished. We had a brief experience with him getting to know him over at the Pro Bowl a couple years ago. He's a real pro. He's something they can build on. He's their target. He's got 79 catches already. It's 12 yards a catch and I think he's got five or six touchdowns. He's the guy they look for when they need a play. He's tough to cover. "
Does Gonzales make room for the running backs and receivers by garnering the attention of defenses?
Fisher: "One of the things that I think goes unnoticed as far as his play is concerned is he's a very good blocker. He's involved in the run game. He finishes blocks and takes pride in that. But getting him down the field and stretching the field creates problems for defenses because guys like Dwayne Bowe and (Eddie) Kennison and those guys take advantage of his presence and get open. "
Is there an acceptable percentage of no-gain or negative yardage plays on first down on offense?
Fisher: "We'd like 100 less that what we have right now. That would be good. "
What has been the improvement of Bowe throughout the season?
Fisher: "We had him in for a pre-draft visit, interviewed him and met him at the combine, and watched a lot of tape on him. We considered (drafting) him. I expected to see the production out of him that he's gotten thus far. He's a very good player and he's a tough guy to block. He takes a hit, catches out of frame and runs well. He'll be an elite receiver in the league in no time. He's a very good player. "
How do you think Brodie Croyle is doing?
Fisher: "He's got a very quick release and he sees the field well. His issues have been more along the lines of having time to get the ball down the field because they've had some injuries at the tackle position. But he's going to be a good player. You can see that he's got confidence, he's experienced, and he knows where to go with the football. He's not afraid to pull it down and run, given the opportunity. I think he's got a good career ahead of him."

There's a new fight game on the Store today and we've been playing it for the last few hours. Called 'Brotherhood of Violence' the game is developed by realtech VR and it's quite impressive visually (and hilarious for the in-game dialogue).
The game goes for $1.99 with a free trial and we strongly recommend you take out. Brotherhood weighs in at just over 220MB, which isn't too bad considering the game play involved and it should give fans of Virtua Fighter and similar street violent games something to cheer about. Indeed, the game is a ton of fun if only because of the aforementioned combo of great graphics and laugh-out-loud cut scenes.

A man moves 3.5m towards east then he moves 2m in south then 4.5m towards east. Find its distance and displacement.
Distance is just the total amount he traveled (3.5 + 2 + 4.5 = 10m).
Displacement is the distance between his starting point and ending point (you may want to draw a picture for this). What you get is that he traveled a total of 8m east and 2m south.
Therefore, his total displacement is the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle with sides 2 and 8 (= 8.25m).

Reviews of Guludo Beach Lodge
They do not necessarily represent the views of Expert Africa.
Guludo Beach Lodge review
Guludo was a fascinating experience.
Our only complaint was the cost of the day trip to Mocimba da Pria. The day went very well and was well worth the time. But I think you charged £500 for the trip. The driver was great abd the vehicle did the job but 6-7 hours in a very old Rav 4 does not seem like good value. It would have cost less in a limo in the UK.
Expert Africa comments
The cost of this day trip was mis-remembered by the traveller and actually only cost £240. They agree that it is actually a pretty fair price for a whole day with a private driver and vehicle.
Guludo Beach Lodge review
Great spot to relax on the Indian Ocean - The resort could only need a few more water based activities like seakayaking.
I would give it a 9 out of 10
Guludo Beach Lodge review
Just amazing as a place and a concept. Even the website, which is good, does not do it justice.
The diving disappointed though. We were the first PADI course that the instructor had done there and he was not really set up for it. Only 2 of the 5 of us stayed the course and he really frightened Vanessa and got me badly sunburned due to taking the wrong wet suit out on the boat. Some of the dive gear is quite tired.
There is no confined water (pool) for the first 2 dives and so they do it off the beach. It was quite windy and rough and the tides were strong so it really was not ideal. It would be better to tell people to do the confined water stuff in their local pool before going out ( the people who followed us were having the same trouble) and I have mentioned this to Neil.
To be fair they only charged us for 2 courses and 3 discovery dives, which we paid locally. I assume the diving was not included in the bill we paid you. Perhaps you could confirm.
We went by road and came out by plane and enjoyed both, though the plane arrangements are a bit flakey and we had to travel seperately.

Factbox: What is a Roman Catholic Holy Year?
ROME(Reuters) - Roman Catholics start celebrating an extraordinary Holy Year on Dec. 8. Pope Francis has chosen the theme of mercy for one of the Church's most important events. But what exactly is a Holy Year?
A Holy Year, also known as a Jubilee, usually happens once every 25 years, unless a pope calls an extraordinary one to call attention to a particular issue or celebrate a momentous event.
The first Roman Catholic Holy Year is believed to have been instigated by Pope Boniface in 1300.
The last ordinary Holy Year was held in 2000 under Pope John Paul II. The last extraordinary Holy Year was called by John Paul II in 1983 to mark 1,950 years since the death of Jesus.
During a Jubilee, Catholics can obtain special indulgences, or remission of their sins, if they fulfill certain conditions and do good works or make pilgrimages. The Vatican website says a Holy Year should also be a time of reconciliation with adversaries and an occasion to promote solidarity, hope and justice in the world.

When will my kittens stop being so reckless?
I have two 3 1/2 month old kittens. They have their own bedroom because I can't trust them to not hurt themselves and the rest of the house while I'm at work. I feel guilty that they're stuck in that bedroom all day and can't wait to be able to let them out. This question really has two parts. Firstly, how old should they be before they stop doing dumb things like trying to jump through the banister to the top step on the stairs. The second question I have is along the same lines, how old will they be before they stop being obsessed with chewing on electrical cables? I can't wait to let them have free reign, but I want them to be safe when I finally give it to them.
Any advice would be much appreciated!

Sometimes, a good offense requires a strong defense. Having 2 baby cats is not much different from having two baby humans. Your house needs to be "baby-proofed", meaning purchasing bad-tasting plastic tubing for any electrical cords (find it on the 'Net). As for the banister, you may need to purchase some inexpensive sheeting or fencing that the holes are too small for the kittens fit through and temporarialy enclose the railing. Remove all expensive "chachkees" from your tabletops, look at your home from the viewpoint of a young kitten who has to explore everything. When Izzie was an over-active little brat, I purchased a large, carpeted "cat playground" that was three levels with holes, tubes and all sorts of fascinating stuff. It didn't prevent him from hopping to the top of the entertainment center, but it cut down on the trips up there. Your kittens are being perfectly normal and they will outgrow many of these behaviors, but like any parent, you need to be vigilant with them!

Oh my dear do I ever feel your pain, and concern! I have two 6 month old kittens and for me, so far they have gotten "better" but they are still kittens, and I think we have a long way to go... We also have a few curtains to replace and oh yes, we need to recover our dining room chairs :) they are recklace and wild and crazy, but a room is a definite bonus. We also still put them into their room at night, if we let them have free reign at night they would ruin our household, also i worry for their own health and safety. The girl has slightly calmed down since her spay last week, the boy, i sometimes wonder if he will ever calm down... I believe after around a year they should become calmer... But that too would differ from cat to cat. You should also try training them, google it and read up on tips, including bedroom time outs for when they are extra naughty! It does help, I promise. Just never shout and yell or smack, cats dont respond well to that! Good luck ;)

Can I replace my 2.8L with a 4.3L?
I have a '85 Chevy S-10 Blazer 4X4 with a 2.8L and a 5 speed tranny. I would like to keep the 5 Speed and replace the 2.8L with a 4.3L, but can it be done? I have read from other places that I would need to go to a auto trans and I really don't want to. And what else would I need to change?
[ November 14, 2002: Message edited by: BuDDaH ]

I don't know if the 5 speeds are the same, but I do know that the lower end chevy fullsize trucks for years had a 4.3 backed by a 5 speed. I would venture a guess that they may be the same transmission. If that is true it would be a fairly easy swap(if there is such a thing).
I assume you have the s-10 blazer. You can even put a 350 in those with a little work, so the 4.3 should be doable.
The 2.8 is a 90 degeree v6 the 4.3 is the same as the V8s the bolt pattern is different , you have to change the trany to.
You can bolt a 4.3 to a 2.8 trans. The 85' S-10 used a T-5. The trans to bell bolt pattern is the same as other GM sticks. A bell from an 80's full size will work. A 4.3 has the same bell pattern as a 305 or 350. Get one with the slave cylinder. Your 85' should have a hydrolic clutch. The pilot part of the input shaft will need cut to make it shorter. Take about half of what is there off. Use a clutch disc from a 5-speed Astro van. It is an 11" disc with a 1"-14 spline hub. You can use a standard 1 piece seal flywheel and 11" pressure plate. You will need a 4.3 S-10 4X4 oil pan and pickup tube to clear the front diff. You need to change the motor mounts. I don't remember if the frame on an 85' has the holes for the mounts or not. There is a bunch there. You might luck out. The radiator has the inlet/outlet fittings on the wrong side. You'll need a 4.3 radiator. None of the brackets off the 2.8 will work either. The S-10 never has a 4.3 with a carb. Your 85' doesn't have anything to run injection. What way you go with that is up to you. When the General put the 4.3 in the S-10 they upgraded alot. They used a NV3500 instead of the T-5. That T-5 is not the same as the one used in Camaros. It's alot weaker. The transfer case was upped to a NV231C from the NV207C you have now. The olny differences between the two was a 1/4" wider chain in the 231, improved oiling in the 231, and they did away with the straight cut gears in low range the makes all the noise in you 207. The 207 is plenty strong to handle a 4.3. Your rear axle is a 7.5" 10 bolt with 26 spline axles. The 4.3's used 28 spline axles. In first gear, low range you will have enough torque to twist an axle. That is if you have enough traction to stop the wheel from spinning. All in all....a bunch of work. As a mater of fact.... The same as if you where going to put a V-8 in. If you do decide on a V-8, find a NV3500 trans to start with. By far a better gear box. Dan
OK i am wrong i thought the bellhousing was part of the trany in these years, Have i been working on to many Fords?
OK i am wrong i thought the bellhousing was part of the trany in these years, Have i been working on to many Fords?
Naw, working on Fords won't hurt ya. The 1 peice bell/trans you are thinking about is the 4.3 trans. Its a NV3500. The 2.2 4 cyl uses a NV1500 that is the same way. Some of the early 2 wheel drive trucks had a 1 piece deal as well. Don't know for sure what it was exactly. Most had a T-4 4-speed or T-5 5-speed with a removable bell. I have never seen anything other than a T-4, T-5, or NV3500 in a 4X4. Dan

We'll help you find the right solution for your needs
Does this sound like your topic?
69 total
In Arizona, can I let a home go into foreclosure that I was supposed to inherit if it is underwater and I do not want to take it on? Can the lender come after any assets of the estate?
Assuming you are in Arizona and the property qualifies for anti- deficiency protection, then yes, that is certainly a viable option. If there are any non-purchase money loans, it will be important to assess how those might impact assets remaining in the estate.See question
I along with to other roommates rented a property. only 2 out of 3 were on the lease. A verbal contract was made to release one and put 3rd on lease in place of the one. However, 2 weeks befor new lease was to take place tenants 1 and 3 decided to...
In general, verbal agreements with respect to real estate are not enforceable. So, questions regarding the text you reference include asking whether T2 replied back (a text to one without a reply doesn't prove T2 had agreed). Plus, what about a writing with T1 and T3? So, without sitting down, reviewing the original lease, getting some input from Landlord to understand where they are coming from, it's difficult to go beyond stating that the original 2 people who signed the lease as tenants are still on the hook for the lease. From there, if one of the 2 fails to perform, then, if the lease states that the 2 are liable "joint and severally", then yes, the landlord can go after just the one person, although that person could then pursue the other for their share.See question
I need to find out if my pool mortgage will be forgiven and if I still have time to short sell?
If your pool loan was taken out as part of the purchase of the house with the intent that it would be used to put in the pool, then the lender will likely not be able to pursue you. However, this is uncommon. As suggested above, if you took the loan out after purchase, you will have liability. However, to be safe, you should get your house listed ASAP, since a short sale can lead to a definitive answer. Many lenders will delay a foreclosure if you have submitted an offer you've accepted along with all paperwork required. I appreciate that the other attorneys are willing to speak with you but you are very short on time. The market is very good for sellers right now, and, if your home is worth less than $250k, you should have no problem getting offers very, very quickly. Let me know if you need a list of agents I refer to. I want you to know that I have no ties whatsoever with the agents on my list; they are simply agents I have confidence in and who have handled many short sale transactions.See question
I have remarried since and so my name is now different then what is on the title. Is this going to be a problem when we fill out the quit claim deed? The divorce papers did say he was getting the house and he paid it off.
The key is to make sure the quitclaim makes clear that the person signing below as "Mary Lamb" was formerly known as "Mary Sheep". This way, when title companies search the public records in the future, there will be a clear chain of title.See question
This is in Arizona.
The starting point towards an answer is to look to your lease. What does it say regarding due date for rent?See question
Our lease is un in June and the landlord is no longer paying his mortgage since he is going through a short sale. How much trouble would I get into if I stop paying rent and what could the landlord do? Thank you
I agree with the other answer with respect to what happens if you stop paying rent. But, absent a provision in your lease that states that upon a change in ownership your lease automatically expires, the sale of the property via a short sale has no impact on you at all. The new owner becomes the new landlord, and they must honor your lease.See question
I am going thru a divorce right now and my husband has signed a consent decree with me awarded the home. The title and morgage is held in my name only as unmarried with no loans taken out during the marriage against the property. Is that sufficien...
I'd just like to add that it's just "cleaner" to have your soon to be ex quitclaim any claim to an interest in the house. While not common, sometimes issues arise post-divorce and this is one way to ensure that your house doesn't get tied up in any disputes.See question
My name is Diana
Diana, I'm not following what your question is.
RobertSee question
that says a potential buyer can come and view the house, do i need to sign this new lease, does him saying he is going to offer a new lease void the contract of the old lease? He sent us a letter saying we can vacate the property at any time, doe...
In addition to the guidance offered in the preceding response, keep in mind that there are Federal laws in place to protect you and the current lease you have should your landlord end up losing the home in foreclosure, laws that, for the most part, will allow you to continue with your existing lease as-is. I raise this because the law requires that "the tenant not be paying substantially less than fair market value". So, while it would be great to have a lower rent, if it's too low and the landlord's ownership interest is foreclosed, you may end up getting kicked out.See question
We haven't closed yet. The inspector said the unit needs to be replaced, An a/c person came and looked at it and he said the same thing. The temp inside the house will not go below 81 degrees. Living in AZ thats not livable
In general, my colleagues are correct. However, assuming you signed the standard form agreement used by realtors in AZ, then I direct you to lines 166-168, which provide "Seller warrants and shall maintain and repair the Premises so that at the earlier of possession or COE: (i) all heating, cooling.. systems... will be in working condition, ..." I would suggest looking at the Seller Property Disclosure Statement to see if the Seller represented that the a/c was working.
This potential conflict between the provisions is one of the reasons why it's important to use a residential real estate attorney when buying or selling a home.See question

No prob's snake - good to know your project has gone well. Sounds overall pretty successful.
Re pic's - go and download this freebie - Irfanview. Go to http://www.irfanview.com/ and download and then install it - it does not write to registry much at all and so is very benign.
Once you have checked it out you'll see it does various things including resizing. Choose 640x480 and compress with JPG to perhaps 60% or so - that way you'll get a reduced pic and not too huge a file. Make copies of the originals tho - and so process those for smaller pics.
Then attach the pics - always good to see what you have been working on.
