It's never too early to begin thinking about 2012. It's just around the corner, and with each new year comes a fresh start. Most companies look at it as an opportunity to right their wrongs, steer the ship back on course or completely change direction. In 2012, innovative advertising techniques are expected to increase as marketing communications jobs and multimedia jobs increase.
We've all heard about how digital advertising has changed the way we reach out to consumers, but few of us realize how in-depth these agencies plan to go in 2012. If the economy stays in the state that it is in now, marketers will have no choice but to cut costs and preserve budgets. Fortunately, online marketing can be much less expensive than print or broadcast promotions. The goal, however, would be to better understand how consumers engage online. While we can assume social media will play a vital role, even more important is how to target individuals with ads that will appeal to their interests.
Interestingly, in 2010, many companies began to use websites such as Groupon and Living Social. While those interactive discount hubs made a large impact on consumer trends, their presence has already taken a hit. In fact, Groupon has seen a 50 percent decline in use since this past summer, according to a study conducted jointly by Experian and Hitwise.
In many ways, agencies are instead crafting ways to target certain consumers based on their online presence. The introduction of emotion recognition software (ERS) has seen light in online communities, like those on Facebook. We've all noticed it, but may have not fully understood what was happening. When users log onto the social media site, the sides of the page are laced with advertisements directed toward users based on information supplied in categories such as Interests, Favorite Movies, Music and Activities.
These engaging advertisements are likely to be used more often. Forrester Research has predicted that, in 2012, spending on online video advertising in the U.S. will reach $71. billion, a bullish estimate that would require the use of nearly every social media platform. However, is it really that far off? As more consumers purchase the latest smartphones and tablets, the interconnected world will experience a digital revolution, the likes of nothing we've ever experienced.
Advertising is about to change, not entirely, but greatly. Becoming involved in creative industries with a focus on online marketing can be a great career choice going forward. For those looking for work, embracing the online market could be the best route to take.

RepairPal is your advocate for car care advice and guidance
Q: Power Steering Flush and EFI Service at 40,000 Miles? on 2006 Toyota Tacoma
I took my truck in for its 40,000 mile check-up today and the Toyota Service Rep informed me, much to my chagrin, that my warranty has expired. (Somehow I had it in my head it was a 50,000/3-year warranty.) I've religiously taken it in to the dealer for its scheduled checkups and have never had an issue. Today though, the rep came out and told me, "I see you've neglected to have the power steering flushed as well as the EFI serviced," services that would cost me over $300 to perform. First off, I'd been coming to this same dealer for regular service since purchasing the truck, so I haven't "neglected" anything. It felt to me like, now that my warranty has expired, it's time to pull the JiffyLube upsell routine where the mechanic comes out and tells you you need to spend a whole lot more dough. Now, it's entirely possible that it is indeed time for these services, and perhaps they wouldn't be covered under the warranty anyway. But the way it was presented and the timing just left me feeling like I was getting scammed. Is a power steering flush and/or EFI service something a truck with 40,000 miles should have done?
This is a scam, plain and simple. Usually the power steering is flushed at 60,000 and the EFI 'Service' is just window dressing. It does nothing. If anything, you may need to have your throttle body cleaned which is a 10 minute job and requires a squirt of cleaner on a shop towel and that is it. Find another shop. There are very good independent Toyota shops. Actaully, Toyotas are pretty easy to work on because they are made so well, so the independents can do an excellent job. Many are started by 20 year exp Toyota techs.
That's the feeling I got. Thanks for the reply. :)

One at a Time
If I could earn a living doing my dream job I would be a school counselor. I would have a bachelor's degree in psychology and in time continue my studies to earn my master's and doctorate. I would help students though their adolescents and attempt to better inform them on the upcoming decisions they will encounter. If I am selected for the scholarship I would graduate and along with being a school counselor I would open my own private practice to further help any students that wished to continue their counseling after school was out. Adolescence can be a time of immense confusion and also great discovery. This period of transition can bring up issues such as independence and self-identity. Many adolescents and their peers face tough choices from school to sex and drugs. I hope to better educate my clients to make their transition into adulthood less complicated. This may not change the world on an epic scale but it would help hundreds of people if I am as successful as I know I can be. Thank you for the time and consideration.

Berlin (Oct. 28)
New legislation aimed at ousting Jews completely from the retail trades and reducing their numbers in the legal profession to less than one percent are now in the course of preparation and will soon be promulgated, the Jewish Telegraphic Agency learned today.
According to the Voelkischer Beobachter, official Nazi Party organ and property of Reichsfuehrer Hitler, the new legislation affecting Jewish traders will also force Jewish stockholders in industrial and commercial enterprises to sell out their holdings soon. There has already been a wave of security-selling by Jews in anticipation of just such laws.
The Beobachter states that competent agencies of the Nazi Party in the Government are now preparing the legislation which will forever oust Jews from Germany's economic life through "well-planned, unified, well-regulated and legal measures in the spirit of the Nazi Party's program."
The measures in course of preparation, the Nazi daily writes, first will not permit Jews to open new retail stores. Secondly, those stores remaining in Jewish hands must be marked by special signs. Stores in this latter class, until they are "step by step forced into liquidation, will be placed under special regulations in order that 'Aryan' employes do not fall under Jewish influence.
A fourth and highly important feature of the legislation being prepared will force all stock corporations to abandon anonymity so that the Government may learn how many of the stockholders are Jewish and how much every Jew owns of the shares of German enterprises.
The Beobachter points out that the ousting of Jews from the nation's economic life is the most essential political necessity of the day.
"The importance of having our national supplies in the hands of German traders," the newspaper declares, "becomes fully appreciated only in a critical national period,"
Emphasis on these points by the Beobachter reveals the existence of a behind-the-scenes dispute over the extent to which Jews can or should be eliminated from commerce. The dispute, it appears, extends also to the methods by which such elimination is to be accomplished.
That anti-Jewish legislation even more drastic than that now in effect is being prepared to regulate the legal profession became known at a convention Saturday in Frankfurt-am-Main. Speaking before the Association of National Socialist Jurists, State Secretary Dr. Stuckart announced that the new laws would reduce the number of Jewish lawyers in Germany to less than one per cent of the number of "Aryan" lawyers.
Dr. Stuckart urged his hearers to be patient pending issuance of details of the Nuremberg laws. Saying that these would be announced in "due time," he warned against special interpretation of the laws in the meantime. He insisted that no extra ordinary anti-Jewish measure be taken either locally or regionally before the details which will make the Nuremberg laws effective are announced All judges, Dr. Stuckart emphasized however, must be guided in their verdicts by Nazi principles, particularly the racial principle since it was through this that "we prevented Jews from being judges and notaries and it is also because of this that we are intending to restrict the number of Jewish lawyers and provide that they be allowed to represent the interest of Jewish clients alone."

Production blocking is a common problem in brainstorming groups. It is a tendency for one individual to block or inhibit other people during a group discussion. For example, if six people are in a group and one person is talking about his or her idea, then the other five people are "blocked" and less able to provide their own creative input. They may not have time to think of an idea, or they may be distracted or forget about their idea before they have an opportunity to share it. Production blocking becomes more of a problem as the size of the group increases.
Production blocking is not the same thing as social loafing because it is an attentional or cognitive barrier, not a motivational one.

MOSOP President and Spokesman, Dr. Goodluck Diigbo has asked his fellow Ogoni citizens to become more forward looking; beyond the confines of selfish individual gains, hopes and desires.
In a speech to mark the 17th Anniversary Remembrance of the November 10, 1995 hanging of the Ogoni Nine, which was observed at Ken Saro-Wiwa Peace and Freedom Center, Bori, he said that Ogonis were no longer second and third class citizens in their homeland.
Diigbo who spoke via phone from New York, said that he was very optimistic about progress, saying, "the dreams of our long struggle are at hand; urging Ogonis to stick together for the common good."
MOSOP President sang a Christian hymn from Ancient and Modern, No. 585: All things bright and beautiful; a metaphor that the indigenous people of Ogoni are also God's creation, and are equal to all other people.
The solemn event was concluded with a peaceful match on the streets and roads of Bori, and ended up at the Ogoni Polytechnic, Bori.

Alex slouched against the wall sighing as he waited for his teacher to come and unlock the classroom door. He was half asleep when the teacher Mr. Springer finally walked into the little corner where all the music classrooms were held. He sat down in the small mirrored piano lab, looking at his reflection fixing his bangs so they were over his forehead as he was doing this he heard a chuckle. He looked up to see his best friend Jack Barakat. "What I'm not aloud to fix my hair to cover my gigantic forehead?" Alex knew this would cause Jack to compliment him and he lived to hear Jack say those kinds of things, even if he had to prompt them sometimes. Alex was very much in love with his best friend, he just couldn't tell him.
Jack set at his keyboard that is located next to Alex and sighs rolling his eyes. "You look wonderful Alex, you always do." Jack then pokes Alex's stomach playfully. Mr. Springer walked in though and class started. It was a simple class that will earn Alex and Jack the last fine arts credit they need to graduate. After class they hurried into the hall, they both now had study hall. Alex isn't surprised to Finds Jacks arm around his shoulder. Alex could hear very loud obnoxious singing behind them and he rolls his eyes, the choir class got out at the same time as theirs and the worst in the class always went into song very loudly in the halls.
"I wonder if they know that's what the choir room is for?" Alex just puts it out there. "I don't know why they have to sing in my hall." He says making sure the girls can hear him. Jack raised his eyebrow at the blond.
"Your hall?"
"Yes my hall, you should know that I am king of the this school dude." Alex shot Jack a playful smile.
"Okay sure you are but what the hell am I then because I thought I was the king of the world." Jack pretends to pout.
Alex huffs a little. "Well I guess you could be my queen." Alex gives Jack a playful peck on the cheek.
Jack felt his cheeks heat up, he like Alex loved the little things like that. Jack was to afraid to tell Alex though he didn't want to ruin their friendship, even if everyone else already thought they were a couple. "I'm not a girl thank you very much Mr. Gaskarth. Jack giggled as they got approached the study hall room.
The period went slow because there was no talking, it also didn't help that Jack and Alex didn't set even remotely close to each other. This period did them time to think or in Jacks case sleep. Alex tried to do his homework but it just wasn't happening Jack kept popping up in his thoughts. They had always been close but over the past year Alex's affection had gone past the point of best friend. He thought about the situation all period and decided that today would be the day he told Jack the truth, he just didn't know when he would tell him. Study hall ended and both boys parted ways. During the next to periods Alex became nervous about his decision, while Jack had also come to the conclusion that he needed to let Alex know about his true feelings. Jack though was pretty confident and didn't worry about it. It was now fourth period and Alex felt nauseous it was math and he had it with Jack. The teacher Ms. Parish informed them they would be playing a game in groups of five, but first they would be watching a clip from Pirates of the Carbien two, to see how you play pirate dice. After the five minuet clip was done the class divided. Alex was in a group with Rian, Zack, Chris, and Jack. They were all friends and how known each other since freshman year or longer. They all had a band together minus Chris, but he was a huge supporter of the band. Jack started the game off, by the fifth time around Alex was down to one die and was going to be the first one out. In two more rounds he lost, he looked up to see a smirking Jack who had been the cause of his losing.
"looks like you have to serve an eternity on ship, I am now the owner of your soul." Alex knew his cheeks were red and he cursed himself, he didn't have a come back so he got up and quickly gave his game things to the teacher before setting down to watch the remainder of his friends play. Thinking as he sat down Jack you already own it, you always have and always will.
For the rest of the class Jack kept smiling and looking at Alex loving how noticeably flustered the boy got. With the help of Rian Jack had figured out that Alex had a crush on him. He had asked Rian about it earlier that day. Rian was honesty astounded that neither boy knew that the other liked him. Sixth period lunch was awkward, everyone noticed the change between Alex and Jack. Alex felt so light headed as he sat in his normal spot, beside Jack. Jack kept bumping into him or rubbing up against him, of course Alex was trying to play it cool but everyone could tell that he was enjoying it to no end. By the end of the day Alex didn't want to go to his locker because he would have to see Jack. He walked there slowly and he didn't see the younger brunette in sight and he sighed in relief. When he shut his locker door though there stood Jack with his dopey grin that Alex had fallen in love with.
"Hey Alex do you want to hang out tonight? I kind of need to talk to you." Jack was still smiling and Alex felt jealous because he felt like a nervous wreck.
"Actually yeah I do I need to talk to you too. How about I come over around five?"
Before Jack can respond they both heard a snide remark about them fags and Jack got pushed. All of Jacks books came flying out of his arms and landed between him and Alex. The kids who pushed him didn't stick around. Both Jack and Alex bent down at the same time as they were both standing up the tip of Alex nose brushed Jacks, there eyes locked. Jack dropped what he had picked up and gently pushed Alex against the locker his lips finding Alex's easily. Their lisp barley brushed when they heard someone from behind clear their throat.
"No PDA boys save it for off school property." This gave time to run away, not that he hadn't enjoy the kiss but he was more than a little shocked and confused. This was a good thing right? Or had Jack found out some how and was just playing a prank? The kiss could have even been an accident, he rethought that thought because Jack had pushed him against the lockers that was no accident.
Jack pouted as he found Alex was gone, maybe he shouldn't have kissed him? He had been so sure that Alex liked him. He went home feeling it best to let the situation cool down a little, but he was very melancholy the rest of the day which is a very non-Jack thing to be.
Alex made it home quickly he only lived five blocks from the school. The breeze against his face made him think of Jacks lips against his, their noses brushing. He felt horrible now for leaving Jack and he was sure the boy wouldn't want to see him again.
Both boys spent hours feeling sorry for themselves locked in their rooms. Finally Alex decided that if Jack could make the first move, he needed to make the second, he needed to fix this. He walked to Jacks house, his mom offered him a ride but he declined. It was only a fifteen block walk, this would give him plenty of time to think even though that's all he had been doing.
Finally Alex was standing at Jacks front door palms sweaty and looking pale finger hovering over the door bell. he jabbed it hearing the ding dong resound through the house and then quick footsteps that Alex knew belonged to Jacks mom. He had done this so many times, except he had never done with the intention of professing his love for his best friend.
"Hello Alex dear." she studied the boy he looked ill. "Are you not feeling well either? Jack came home and said he didn't feel well, he hasn't left his room once tonight."
Alex was blushing and thanking God he was outside in the dark. "Oh well do you think it will be okay if I go up and see him? I mean since were both sick already it wont matter." Alex stepped in as Jacks mom moved.
"Go on up dear." With that she went back into the kitchen.
Alex took the stairs slowly, he stood in front of Jacks door for what seemed like years before knocking.
"I already told you mom I'm not hungry." Jack said his face buried in his pillow.
Alex didn't say anything he just opened the door frowning a little as he saw his usually happy go lucky friend looking so sad and it was worse because he had caused it.
"Oh come on mom, I just want to sleep." Jack didn't move he didn't feel like it.
"I'm sorry I'm not your mom because I'm sure you would rather it be her in here." Alex closed the door, but regretted doing so because it was so dark. Alex stayed where he was not wanting to upset Jack.
Jack groaned and flipped onto his back. "Why are you here?" Jack had a little sense of hope, but he didn't want to seem desperate.
"I'm sorry
." Jack cut him off
"I know I shouldn't have kissed you right and you're here to say that you don
." Jack was cut off by Alex straddling his hips and their lips crashing together.
'That isn't even close to what I came to say Barakat!" Alex whispered against Jacks lips. "I came here to do this." Alex kissed him again and then let his lips travel down the boys neck, his hand resting on Jacks hip. Their lips connected again.
"Dude I am so glad you weren't my mom!" Jack laid back on the pillow smirking at Alex.

News: Toyota To Slow Tundra Production
Page: [1]
Automotive News is reporting that Toyota will reduce the number of Tundra full size pickups it builds to manage slowing sales of the half-ton truck.
February 2008 was a poor sales month for almost the entire industry, though Tundra sales rose 62.2% year to date over 2007. So why the slow down?
The introduction of the all new Toyota Tundra last year was timed with the opening of a second truck plant in San Antonio, Texas. The San Antonio facility can build up to 200,000 Tundras a year, depending on demand, while the original Princeton, Indiana plant can produce 100,000 a year. So even though Tundra sales are up relative to the year before, there's also newly built capacity that's underutilized.
Toyota spokesperson Joe Tetherow told PickupTruck.com Thursday afternoon that the move is a prudent business adjustment to help match supply with demand and factory capacity.
"We're adjusting production to coincide with the market," says Mr. Tetherow.
Toyota's move follows similar production decreases by GM, Ford, and Chrysler late last year and early this year in response to slowing demand for full size pickups. Some of those manufacturing adjustments resulted in temporary factory shut-downs.
Mr. Tetherow is still optimistic about the Tundra's overall sales target for the year, saying, "The sales goal for the Tundra is to still sell 200,000 (units in 2008)."
Last year Toyota sold 196,555 Tundras.

My husband and I attended a wedding in Geneva with several of his friends and their significant others. While there were hotels around, we thought it would be nice to have a more genuine experience and rented all 3 rooms at Sailwinds. Initially, we planned to bring our baby, so the availability of high chair, pack n play and play area were very attractive! He ended up staying home, but we believe he would have been fine here. The innkeepers, Andrew & Nancy, were sitting on the front porch awaiting our arrival, greeted us and helped with bags, enticed us with freshly baked brownies and gave us a tour. It's a gem! They thought of everything a guest would need, stocking rooms with snack baskets, toiletries (including rarities like deodorant, flossers & Band-Aids), hair dryers & more. We really appreciated the thoughtful amenities. The back porch had nice, soft seating and was a nice place to chat, have a glass of wine & watch birds. Their location was just a block or two from Geneva's downtown, where you could find cute shops, restaurants & bars. Lake Seneca was only 3 or 4 blocks from the home. Best of all, Andrew & Nancy were wonderful hosts - friendly, interesting & accommodating. They offered nice conversation and helpful tips to get you around town. They also cook a mean breakfast! We had bourbon-peach-pecan French toast with bacon on the first morning, then spinach-bacon quiche with Gruyere cheese on the second, accompanied by fresh berries & moist breakfast breads. They take pride in their offerings, selecting organic ingredients and antibiotic-free meats, blackberries picked right off the bushes in their back yard and bread acquired from a bakery down the street. They love what they do, and it's apparent when you stay at Sailwinds. It was the perfect place for old friends to reconnect in this warm, intimate setting. We loved being able to share stories over breakfast and leave our rooms unlocked "just like home." Thanks for a memorable stay!

We stayed for our annual sibling reunion at Sailwinds B&B -- the hosts were gracious, proving freshly baked cookies and muffins. Breakfast was delicious -- light and creamy quiche, homefries, and even vegetarian sausage for those in the party who asked for a vegetarian meal! So thoughtful. The rooms are immaculate, beds comfortable. Close to downtown, so we were able to walk to dinner. Parking can be a bit cramped, though additional parking may be available across the street. A real winner, and nicely priced as well. Thanks to Nancy and Andrew for a lovely weekend!

My husband and I stayed here in early February and we had a fantastic stay! As soon as we arrived, Andrew and Nancy were very welcoming and offered great ideas for that Friday night that we arrived. If you like awesome baked goods, you will be super happy! The amazing cookies and fruit pies were great treats and Nancy even sent us home with a baked goods care package! The breakfasts were tasty and super plentiful! The fresh baked raisin breads and hearty egg/sausage.potato main courses filled us up for the first half of our days! Our room was large and spacious and had extra little touches (toiletries, candy, water bottles) that made our stay extra comfy. The location is perfect walking distance to everything downtown and just a short drive to the wine trails. I can't wait to go back in the summer! Thank you :-)- Amanda&Steve Buffalo,NY

Such a great stay and my first B&B too! Nice and relaxing and gave me a home away from home feeling. My room was immaculate and cozy. Everything was so clean and beautiful.

My best friend and I needed a night away. We enjoyed shopping at the outlets and enjoyed a very delicious breakfast. I would definitely recommend a stay at the Sailwind B&B. It's also kid friendly. The bed was so comfy I slept straight thru the night. Very clean and its home away from home. I give this place 5 stars. We will be back

We had the privelage of spending two nights at the Sailwinds B&B and couldn't have been more happy with our stay. The room was spacious, clean, nicely decorated with all the amenities you could ask for (wifi, satelite TV, king size bed) and we were pleased to find that each room has its own private bath. Andrew prepared two great breakfasts and we did not come away hungry. The location was perfect with quick access to downtown Geneva and easy travel to both sides of Seneca Lake. We would highly recommend a stay with Nancy and Andrew!

Jerry Gusha must feel a little like Jimmy Stewart these days.
As word leaked out late this week that he would have to close his family's bookstore in about a week -- after 104 years in San Pedro -- supporters responded.
One by one, they turned up at Williams' Book Store, buying books and expressing shock and sadness.
"It breaks my heart that this store is closing, it just breaks my heart," Helen Cooper said as she got her checkbook out at the counter. "I was a little kid when this store was down the street. Do you have a pen?"
By Friday afternoon, plans were in place for a "It's a Wonderful Life"-style cash mob at 2 p.m. today.
Gusha's landlord, Eric Eisenberg, was among those who came to the store Friday.
After the two huddled at the back of the store for several minutes, Gusha had a promise that he'd be able to stay and keep the store open at least through Aug. 6 -- long enough to take part in downtown San Pedro's celebration marking the town's 125th birthday.
The bad news?
Barring a winning lottery ticket, there's probably little hope of keeping the store from closing shortly after that, Gusha said.
"We knew it was coming," Gusha said. "It's been bad for a long time. We struggled to pay last month's rent."
In recent weeks, the phone bill went unpaid. The book wholesaler reduced the store's line of credit. And the rent money for July, due in a week, simply wasn't going to be there.
"The book business is just bad," Gusha said, adding in hindsight that he probably should have called it quits two or three years ago. "I can't pay my bills. I can't get books."
The store -- considered the oldest-operating bookstore in the city of Los Angeles -- managed to survive two world wars, recessions and trendy chain bookstores with coffee bars. But ultimately, changing technology and the Internet looks like it will land the fatal blow.
Gusha's mother, Anne, who took over running the store in 1980 -- after shopping there as a child and working there throughout her youth -- also is battling health complications and is recuperating at home. Until a few weeks ago, she's been a mainstay at the front counter alongside her son and other family members who have pitched in.
Many longtime loyal customers will miss the store if it closes.
"Part of my life will be gone," said Norma Munger of San Pedro, who buys or orders all of her books at Williams'.
Looking back, Gusha said their problems began with the advent of the shopping malls in the 1970s and '80s. Popular discount bookstores like Crown landed another blow. Then came Barnes and Noble, Borders -- and, in the end, Amazon and the Kindle.
"People know we've been hurting," he said.
Gusha isn't alone in singing the bookstore blues.
Even big-box competitors including Borders have folded in recent years, victims of a rapidly changing environment in which technology has turned book publishing (and selling) on its head.
But Williams' seemed invincible.
Opened in 1909 by E.T. Williams, an immigrant from Wales, Williams' has spanned several generations of San Pedro residents.
It's a store that stocks books by local writers -- frequently featured at store-sponsored book signings on First Thursdays -- and other titles that cater to the community.
Waiting on the front counter for customer special-order pickups Friday were copies of "Croatia Uncensored" and "Komiza: Land of My Forefathers."
The Gushas knew their customers well, offering personal tabs and delivery for regulars and occasionally even offering to order single books through Amazon to save money for customers without computers.
Local stores like Williams' are a treasure, said Port of Los Angeles High School teacher Rachel Bruhnke.
"Local people need to feel they have access to their local businesses," said Bruhnke, who also has authored a book that's carried at Williams'. Hometown roots that are fostered by businesses like Williams' are fast falling by the wayside, she said.
Anne Gusha, in a January 2009 interview with the Daily Breeze, attributed the store's longevity to "just hard work and perseverance."
Jerry Gusha literally grew up in the store, running shop errands by the time he was 6 and working as Christmas help by the time he was 13.
Later, his sister, wife and children worked stints manning the book counter alongside Anne.
"I can't remember not being here," he said.
In what was turning into a modest silver lining on Friday, Gusha said business suddenly was brisk upon the word spreading that the store was about to close.
"I may make the rent after all," he said.
Eisenberg, who called the store a landmark, said he is hoping to find a way at least to keep the store name and reputation intact under a new business model that could combine a classic used bookstore with possibly antiques for sale.
But for now, the sting is still being felt throughout the close-knit port community.
Closing the store, Cooper said, "is almost like taking a human being and shooting them in the head."

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
The real estate is in her name solely. She passed away without a will. We are considering a tenants in common and granting the life estate to her husband.
Her estate is already in probate with her husband as the PR. He has suggested that we take title and allow him to live there. I am wondering about the fees associated with title transfer.
We are deciding weather to quitclaim or not
How long ago did your mother die? I take it this is a second husband? What fees are you concerned about? He is offering to exchange his intestate share in exchange for a life estate? How old is he? Who is executing the quit claim.

She passed away 2 years ago, Yes second husband, wondering around how much the drafting of a new title (and deed transfer) could be. we are currently in discussion about how the title end of this will go. He has expressed that he would like us to have the real estate as in he could will it to us (with asking us to sing quit claim deeds) or do the life estate exchange (or gift it to us but also allowing him to stay living there). He is in his late 60's.
You should talk to a probate attorney. You may be able to do the settle as a settlement and part of the distribution from the probate estate.
This question has already been asked and answered. You should retain a lawyer to prepare the deed(s). Perhaps the lawyer handling the estate would be willing to assist you with this for a nominal additional fee. It should not be very expensive.

An attorney-client relationship can only be established through signing a Fee Agreement and paying the necessary advanced fees.Ask a similar question
I am sorry for your loss. If I understand the situation from the facts you have given, you mother died intestate (without a will), therefore, under MN law, her husband would receive the life estate and you and your siblings the remainder interest in the property. This means he has the right to live in the house for as long as he lives, and he must maintain the property and pay all taxes, etc. Upon his death you and your siblings will receive the property as tenants in common. The attorney helping with the probate can prepare the necessary paperwork to transfer the property. The recording fees will be around $100 or so, depending on what needs to be recorded. You cannot "quitclaim" unless there is a written agreement between all parties to have a different distribution than allowed by law.

Reasonable cost of living, no traffic, generally good people to work with, competent employees.
System of choosing leadership is a serious issue - bad managers arent removed and can cause tremendous disruption. There are too many directors and too many bad directors.
Advice to Management
Please, please, please take more time and care in selecting directors and evaluating their performance. These individuals are chosen early in their careers and many dont receive adequate vetting. And no, any director cant automatically do any other director-level job.

Eastman in Longview, TX has some of the highest pay rates in our area. The training and job education is extensive and on-going; you will re train annually and updates to training documents are issued regularly. Safety is a high priority and any issues that arise are reviewed and discussed in depth on all levels, so you feel like you have an input and are made aware of every hazard possible. Commitment to safety and sharing of information with employees at all levels is something the company does very well.
Your time at Eastman initially will be learning your work site and getting accustom to the schedule. There will be tons of computer based training about the company and safety practices to be completed within a designated time, in addition to learning job responsibilities and mentoring at your department level. After about 3 months, you will be scheduled to attend Eastman Learning Center, an onsite training facility with faculty that will guide you through in depth self paced learning and labs. This is all great for creating a skilled workforce and giving you confidence in your co-workers, but it becomes overwhelming. Much of the work at the learning center is done on your own time with books and disc to be studied at home. When working a 12 hour rotating shift and trying to balance sleep and family time, it is way too much to be expected. I have never felt so incapable and slow to learn on a new job as I did at Eastman. My time at the job was stressed and needing to add additional time onsite and at home without pay- to meet the requirements for the school was nerve wracking; driving in on my days off to attend the school felt invasive to my family time. You often work with same crew on days and night for years, so you better like each other
Advice to Management
I think there is way too much too soon. Management needs to monitor and re- evaluate the amount of information and training to be sure it is learned and remembered, if they want good workers.

CADDIS Volume 2: Sources, Stressors & Responses
Riparian/channel alteration
Intact riparian zones, or vegetated areas adjacent to stream channels, can serve several functions (Allan 1995), including:
- Provide organic matter for stream food webs
- Provide habitat (e.g., woody debris, bank vegetation)
- Reduce bank and channel erosion
- Moderate stream temperatures
- Intercept and process groundwater nutrients and pollutants
Urbanization typically reduces the extent and quality of riparian areas, via the removal of native vegetation and the development of near-stream areas (Fig 4). These alterations can contribute to multiple instream stressors, including:
Water/sediment quality: ↓ nutrient uptake and retention, ↑ erosion of bank sediments (and associated contaminants)
Temperature: ↓ shading and thermal buffering
Hydrology: ↓ woody debris inputs, ↓ interception of surface and groundwater flows
Physical habitat: ↑ erosion of bank sediments, ↓ woody debris inputs
Energy sources: ↓ leaf inputs, ↑ algal biomass (due to ↓ shading), ↑ dissolved organic carbon
Direct modification of stream channels is common in urban systems, and these direct alterations of channel morphology often are the most damaging changes urban streams experience (see the Physical Habitat module, as well as the Physical Habitat section of this module).
Typical channel alterations in urban streams include:
- Channelization (i.e., channel straightening)
- Channel hardening or armoring (e.g., lining channels and banks with concrete and riprap)
- Creation of dams and impoundments
- Stream piping and burial

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
The hotel is quite comfortable and has excellent facilities. The meals were very good and had good healthy food choices. Value for money would depend on how many of the facilities you use. For one of their accomodation wings, internet is only available in the lobby and seems to work intermittently. The hotel is primarily serving German guests so there was limited information provided in English (ie no English on the menus). We'd recommend you take an English-German dictionary.
We had a super few days at Birkenhof. Whilst there, we actually booked an extra night as the place was so relaxing. Although very few English speaking guests were there the staff were always very helpful with the language. The owners of the hotels are around all day and will stop and chat / check you are happy. The price included all food which we thought would be average, quite wrong! Super food, A great stay, lovely friendly environment, would go again. Booking.com only seem to have one standard of roon available but a few different classes exist. Being on the second or third floor would give you better balcony views.
Location and friendlyness of owners All entrances to hotel have steps.
Very nice staff and very good service. Nice and clean hotel, good food and very friendly atmosphere.
We are impressed with the small friendly feel of the hotel & fantastic view from the restaurant.the new owners a young couple made us feel very welcome . Slightly difficult to find & steep steps up from the car park.

Ob-Gyn questions? Ask a gynecologist online.
Thank you so much for your question. It is my privilege to be able to help you.
The first thing you need to determine is if there is any possibility that someone is abusing her sexually. If this is at all possible, it needs to be in vestigated. If you determine that it is not possible, you should consider several things. One is that she may have some irritation there, this could be caused by frequent masturbation, or it could be caused by irritation from soaps, shampoos etc.
She also may have a foreign body placed in her vagina, which is very common at that age. It is important to have her seen by her pediatrician for an exam.. Usually it is obvious on an exam what the problem is.
I hope this was helpful to you. If it was, please remember to ACCEPT the answer so i can get compensated for my work. if you have any more questions, please feel free to ask. i am truly privileged to help you, and i want to make sure that you are satisfied with your answer. Good luck! Dr. SaulJE

Quick GuideSkin & Health: How Your Skin Reveals Health Problems
How is lichen planus diagnosed?
Usually, lichen planus is relatively straightforward to diagnose. Physicians can make the diagnosis in typical cases simply by looking at the rash. If necessary, a skin biopsy may be done to help confirm the diagnosis because, under the microscope, lichen planus is distinctive in appearance.
Because there are a number of other lichenoid eruptions that resemble lichen planus a biopsy confirmation is frequently necessary. Persistent oral or vaginal lichen planus, with spots that thicken and grow together, can sometimes be difficult to distinguish clinically from whitish precancerous plaques called leukoplakia. A biopsy can be helpful in this situation. There seem to be a few patients in whom ulcerative lichen planus precedes the development of oral cancer.
Are there home remedies for lichen planus?
Although there is little objective evidence of its benefits, green tea has been suggested as a treatment for lichen planus. It is likely to be a safe approach.
What is the treatment for lichen planus?
Most lichen planus is relatively mild. Affected individuals who do not have symptoms do not need treatment. Ultimately, there is no agreed-upon cure for this condition.
If the itch or appearance of the rash are unpleasant, topical corticosteroid creams or topical calcineurin inhibitors like tacrolimus or pimecrolimus may be of help. For localized, itchy, thick lesions, injections of corticosteroids directly into the plaque may helpful. Antihistamines may blunt the itch, particularly if it is only moderate. This effect is in part due to the sedative effect of antihistamines. For oral lesions, topical steroids (cortisone) in special oral preparations are available.
In more severe lichen planus, physicians may recommend oral medications or therapy with ultraviolet light. Oral medications may include a course of oral corticosteroids, such as prednisone or acitretin. Occasionally, other immunosuppressive agents may be employed. However, the itching may return after the drug has been discontinued. A low-dose oral corticosteroid every other morning may be also prescribed. For painful lesions within the mouth, special mouthwashes containing a painkiller (such as lidocaine) before meals may provide some relief. Any drug or chemical suspected of being the cause of the lichen planus should be discontinued.

Led by the melodic primal scream of frontman Adam Gontier, Three Days Grace formed in Norwood, Ontario, in 1997. Through extensive touring, the four-piece slowly amassed a following for its trademark brand of fiery post-grunge metal, and by 2003 had secured a major label deal with Jive Records. That year they broke out in a million-selling way with a self-titled debut led by the modern rock smashes "(I Hate) Everything About You" and "Just Like You." The band avoided any sophomore jinx with the hit-producing 2006 follow-up, ONE X.

This article may capture the interest of wrestling fans who are born again Christians-one of them being me - and I wrote it! This is just my own personal opinion, but this article has been a long time coming.
It's no secret that Shawn Michaels is one of the greatest wrestlers in the WWE, and in knowing this, he will be inducted in the WWE Hall of Fame one day. We've heard HBK tell us time and again that he is "the Icon, the Showstoppa, the Main Event." He even dubbed himself "Mr. WrestleMania." However, there is one title that Shawn Michaels has taken on proudly: BORN AGAIN CHRISTIAN.
I admire Shawn Michaels as an excellent performer and a great talent, but I further admire him as a born again Christian. I like the fact that HBK comes out in his entrance and gets in prayer mode (despite the fact that "Sexy Boy" is blaring throughout the arena. This new Shawn Michaels really is a lot different from the 1996 Shawn Michaels. He is a family man, but more than that, he knows that he is a child of God. However, like all born again Christians, HBK has fallen by the wayside a bit.
Travel with me if you will to the February 9, 2004 episode of Monday Night Raw. In this particular episode, Chris Benoit was about to sign a contract to challenge Triple H for the WWE World Championship at WrestleMania XX. Suddenly, Shawn Michaels burst out on the scene and stated that Benoit would have to take a backseat; HBK's reasoning was that he still needed to find out for himself who the better wrestler was out of himself and Triple H. Well, Benoit understood Michaels' reasoning, but when he explained that HBK would have to wait until after WrestleMania XX, Michaels leveled the Rabid Wolverine with some Sweet Chin Music, then signed his own name on the contract.
Upon seeing this, one of my friends looked at me and said: "Saved people don't do that! Jesus didn't tell Shawn Michaels to superkick Benoit and steal his contract!"
Shawn Michaels has been very open about his new Christian life, and is not ashamed to tell anyone that he is saved. It is because of this fact that HBK has now faced challenges left and right-not just in the ring, but outside of it. We have all read news reports that ever since D-Generation X reformed, Michaels has been rather unhappy with some of the skits. In an interview of WWE.com, Michaels himself stated that the HBK we see every Monday night is totally different from the HBK away from the ring. I happened to watch the episode of Raw where DX dropped manure on Vince and Shane McMahon, and as the crowd chanted... well, you know what they chanted, but HBK did have a rather discomforting look on his face. Of course, Triple H probably didn't make it any better when he said: "Because it's Shawn, it's holy..." You know the rest!
I admire Shawn Michaels for everything that he is doing in order to show the world that he is a born again Christian. Granted, he should not have superkicked Benoit and written his name on the WrestleMania XX contract, nor should he have superkicked Hulk Hogan and talked about his politicking in the past, but hey-that's entertainment. And I refuse to talk about the incident at the 1997 Survivor Series.
If I seem a little too sensitive about this, then it's because I know what HBK is going through. I'm sure that the late Eddie Guerrero went through the same trials and tribulations before The Lord took him home. I mean-Eddie lied, cheated, and stole in his matches... but he was very honest about it!
I am really interested in the feedback of the wrestling fans as it relates to this sensitive article, but I promise that I won't get too upset.

Learning Centers
Advantages- are more of a one on one learning tool. Students work toward there own goals. Learning centers relieve the stressors' of classroom environments. They allow for the student to participate in all learning situations, unlike classroom instruction where some students may feel overwhelmed and choose not to interact.
Limitations- of learning centers are the amount of cost and area they take up. Every center has they're own teachers, area of the school, and supplies which cost money. Learning centers work with the help of the students if the students choose not to do the work they would be a drain on the schools budget. Students must be responsible for their work for a learning center to work.
Integration- from remedial learning centers that work with students on basic skills and additional practice on those skills in a different way. Learning centers can also be for the gifted students that looking for further advancement or interest in school subjects.
Instructional Modules
Advantages- Students are learning at their own speed they can be tested for the content and start a new module. Modules have everything for the student to learn and use not unlike an on line class where the student has all the content right there.
Limitations- Modules are one visual tool and sometimes can be used in the wrong text or at the wrong time. Quality can be an issue when investing in modules. When using modules you have a tendency to loose your flexibility between students learning styles. Also a limitation would be the lack of integration of the module into your curriculum.
Integration- since modules can be a self pace learning tool the teacher has to make sure they follow up on the module. Testing or discussions through out the module makes for certainty that students are learning.
Advantages- Real objects, students can touch them, smell, hear, view, open, disassemble, and reassemble them with all senses of their bodies. These objects keep the attention of the students, there interest in the project maybe stronger with theses manipulators.
Limitations- Cost of the objects, storage of the objects and many have a shelf life in which costs become even higher because we have to supply more of them.
Integration- Students love to use all their senses to learn. It's finding the right manipulators to use to grasp their interest but not become a distraction.
Printed Materials
Advantages- They are very inexpensive, readily available for any topic. Printed materials are very flexible to use in many different ways. Students can bring them home very easily.
Limitation- Printed materials are set at a specific reading level that some students do not possess. Teachers want students to memorize facts and figures and makes printed materials just a memorization aids. Printed material tends to have one way communication rather than interaction among students and teachers.
Integration- We use printed materials in everything we do, instructions for tests, reading assignments, books, magazines, and papers. One of the most common ways of learning.
Display Surfaces
Advantages- Display surfaces are ways for students to display art work, understand teacher's thoughts and examples of problems interact with the teacher and other students. Participate in classroom discussions by writing or solving problems. Display surfaces can be instructional, motivational and decorative.
Limitation- There maybe only so much surface to use in the classroom to display art work or use for instruction. Special needs students may not be able to see or interact with others in this learning environment.
Integration- Teachers and students use every available surface to learn and display work and brain storm ideas. The use of display surfaces have been used for ever we now have new ways to use them like computers and new software for specific functions.
Advantages- Exhibits use many different visuals that we talked about earlier to make an exhibit. Students tend to keep their focus attention when constructing exhibits or going to exhibits such as field trips to museums or the outdoors for scientific research or using materials inside the classroom to make an exhibit for a class project.
Limitations- not every student has the money or resources to make exhibits or displays or money for field trips so the chance for exclusion is hire.
Integration- Works for any subject to make an exhibit or display. Field trips keep students attention but cost money. The chance to use an exhibit for more than one topic helps in lowering the cost for displays.

The Holiday Inn Express New Orleans Airport is offering superior service to guests now that issues with insufficient cell phone coverage have been eradicated. Once a black hole for cellular service, the Big Easy's newest hotel, managed by New Orleans-based Expotel Hospitality Services Inc., and located adjacent to the Louis Armstrong International Airport, now provides exceptional mobile connectivity no matter where callers are on property thanks to RoamBoost from RoamingAround. RoamBoost enhances the local geography's coverage inside the building, ensuring that all mobile calls, data transactions and communications are conducted quickly and securely.
Following a nearly $3 million renovation, ensuring that guests were satisfied and able to communicate on their cellular devices with ease became a No. 1 priority. RoamBoost uses an exclusive technology and a network of highly efficient antennas to enhance in-building cellular coverage for all carriers. The solution is scalable, enabling hotels to place the antennas in areas where they are needed most today, and if enhanced coverage is required elsewhere in the future, properties can simply add more nodes.
RoamBoost makes it easy for hotels to achieve guest loyalty and attract new prospects. It also helps to make employees' jobs easier, as they can now stay connected to customers via mobile devices, even in remote areas such as a basement.
Holiday Inn Express New Orleans Airport is launching an email campaign to inform all past, present and future guests of the hotel's superior cellular service. Printed collateral will also be placed in the lobby and elevators promoting cell coverage enhancements and the ability to connect anywhere on property.

Butler residents ready to run Boston Marathon without fear
Jim Wrubel wants his 26.2-mile run through the streets of Boston on April 21 to be a lesson his two daughters never will forget.
"I'm going back to run to show them that there will be scary things in this world, but if you back down, you're acknowledging defeat even before you start," Wrubel, 40, of Cranberry, said.
This year's Boston Marathon will be the first since the April 15, 2013, bombings near the Boylston Street finish line that killed three spectators and injured more than 250 others, many of them permanently. Of the 36,000 runners registered for the race, 18 are from Butler County.
Wrubel will be running his second Boston Marathon, and he expects an emotional finish this year.
He crossed the finish line in 2013 about an hour before the bombs exploded. His wife, Eileen, and daughters Brenna, now 11, and Delamie, now 6, were standing at mile 23 to cheer him on.
After Wrubel finished in 3 hours 5 minutes, the family walked about a mile to the historic Bell in Hand Tavern, where they watched news coverage of the bombings that occurred shortly after they left the finish line area.
"That was their first face-to-face encounter with world history," Wrubel said of his daughters. "They coped the best they could."
His daughter Brenna, now a fifth-grader at Haine Middle School, took notes and later made a presentation about that day to classmates.
"They learned not only a lesson in facing fears, but a lesson that, in America, there are very powerful people that can help you," said Wrubel, chief technology officer at Think Through Learning Inc., an online math instruction service. "The police will help you. The government will help you. The legal system will help you. You're not alone in facing what you're scared of."
Taking no chances
Patti Clark, of Center, won't be on the sidelines this year cheering on her husband, Bob, when he runs his fourth Boston Marathon and his 24th marathon overall.
In 2013, she was about four blocks from the blasts, waiting for her husband to run by.
The first blast, Clark, 62, said, sounded like bleachers or scaffolding collapsing. Moments later, after the second blast, she saw people running and smoke filter into the sky. Boston police stopped runners and began herding people away from the blast zone.
Police stopped Bob Clark about three-tenths of a mile from the finish line, telling him, "Your race is over." Cell phone service was overloaded, so the Clarks could not contact each other until they both returned to their hotel room for an emotional reunion about 90 minutes later.
"That was a pretty nice feeling knowing we were safe," said Bob Clark, 65, a retired maintenance supervisor for AK Steel who survived throat cancer in 2005.
But this year, Clark said, he's going alone.
"I'm not taking that chance," Clark said, "I don't want anyone getting hurt watching me run."
"I would have gone," Patti Clark said. "I really had no qualms about going, but he didn't want anyone to go."
Stepped up security
Mark Shipley, 38, of Cranberry has been running marathons for 11 years, but this is the first time he's qualified for the Boston Marathon.
"Even though it wasn't an attack on the running community, it felt like it," Shipley said. "It just brought everybody together quickly. The running community is tight anyway, but this made it stronger."
His wife, Tracey, and daughter Charley, 2, have been spectators at his past races, but they won't be in Boston. Shipley said they're simply unfamiliar with the city and with the tighter security, "I know how crazy it will be." He plans on running with about 15 friends, some from Pittsburgh.
In the fall, Shipley said he ran the Chicago Marathon, the first major one after Boston.
"While security was extremely visible and tight, it wasn't intrusive. You could tell they were on top of things," he said.
Shipley said he expects that at the Boston Marathon this year "everything will be safe."
Clark agrees. Citing new security measures — including the prohibition of backpacks and baby strollers, and requirements to carry items in clear plastic bags — he said "it'll probably be the safest place in the United States."
