Help us get rid of this house!
October 2, 2012
We have an old, unlived in house that is disintegrating. We need help fixing it up, emptying the junk out of it and selling it. We are overwhelmed and find it hard to face this problem. Advice needed.
I am asking this for my parents. They are both retired.
They own a large Victorian house at the end of a suburban dead end street in upstate New York. It hasn't been lived in for about two years. My parents are both suffering from various illnesses and disabilities, and have not been able to list the house or even get it ready to be sold. It is full of furniture and junk. It is slowly disintegrating. Part of the roof inside is falling in, and there is a hole in the cellar wall into the space beneath the porch where an animal must have dug through. Both of them are very overwhelmed with the prospect of dealing with this house, and I want to help them if I can.
As problems tend to do, this one is coming to a head now. For some reason the water has been turned off. My father suspects that there was some sort of water leak and therefore the city shut the water down. My parents received no notification of any problems. If the water does not get turned on and the pipes fixed before winter, there is a possibility that the pipes will freeze and that will result in a much bigger problem.
My father does not want to let anyone know that the house is uninhabited, because that will cause them to lose insurance on the house. It will also start the ball rolling on a lot of paperwork, fines and possible work on the house by order of the city. I suspect the city already knows that no one is living there. They must notice that no electricity and water is being used. But they have not sent any notices to my parents about it.
My parents see the situation with the house as a huge, enormous problem that they can't even begin to solve and don't want to even face. Depression plays a big part in it. They want to salvage many items from this house, but won't face even going over there to start that process. I had a conversation with my father today about the house. As a result of his depression he tends to catastrophize things. He is also under a lot of stress lately dealing with various other issues. I tried to help him list all the things we need to do to solve this problem but every time I ask him a question he says, "I don't know." I am not a homeowner and I am unfamiliar with how a lot of this works.
We live only 10 minutes away from it. They are thinking of going to Florida in a couple of weeks for a month or so. They may not go if this house can't be dealt with. My parents do have a fair amount of money to throw at this, but they aren't super rich. They have paid to have the yard kept up in the summer and the snow plowed in the winter.
I'd like advice to handle the situation with the house. Maybe a list of steps to take to get the water turned on, the pipes fixed, the junk removed (with their items salvaged), the house fixed up and listed for sale. If the steps involved are too much for them, I even thought that a sort of "project manager" could come on board to help manage taking care of the problem.
Also, advice on how to help them (and me) face this problem and not feel totally intimidated by it would also be welcome. I know this is a big problem with many parts. I apologize for that, but would appreciate at least some help starting to fix it.
[Side note: I am talking to my father about seeing a doctor and/or therapist to get his depression under control. He is not easily persuaded but we are working on it.]

Step 1: Plan "Salvage Day" in which you take your parents to the house and let them take anything they want in a 8 hour time period. Anything else is trash.
Step 2: Hire a Real Estate Agent and sell the house "As Is".
Step 3: Profit! (Or probably not, in this market, but at least it is off their hands and minds).

In terms of process / steps, I think you should clear the house out first. Hire someone or a team of someones after your parents have looked through the house and 'tagged' what they want. The rest has to go. They'll cart it away in large dumpsters.
After that, any issues or hidden problems will be much more visible.
It will probably cost a fortune to repair all of the neglect. Rock Steady's advice is sound.

It sounds like you're on the right page there. I'd call a plumber first, and ask them if they think they can diagnose the plumbing problem with the water off. If not, after you've turned off a shutoff in the house, so that the leak doesn't continue, call the city and see what it'll take for them to turn the water back on.
Then next step for me would be to call a general contractor and have them assess the basic things that need to be done to make it sell-able: how much to fix the roof, etc.
Once those steps are in line, have that salvage day for valuables, then see if someone like Big Brothers Big Sisters or Goodwill come in and clear everything else from the house - that gets everything out.
You can do this, and you're awesome for helping your folks so much with it!

First 2 posts beat me to it. Total agreement, having gone thru this a couple years ago.
Utility turn-ons & -offs, clearing out the house, etc -- those are administrative tasks. A real estage agent can handle most of it. The profit is reduced, but the alternative is spending a lot of your time.
The bigger issue, in my experience, was the parents' emotional attachment to 'stuff.' You can help them by organizing this, and Rock Steady's approach would probably work fine.
The problem comes with the hoarding mentality all of us have to some extent. "I might need that length of pipe someday." If your parents have truly made the decision to move on, then they have to do this. It's hard -- don't misunderestimate it. But you can help them. And if they want to save some odd stuff, who cares? I've stil got a pallet in my basement, which I'll hold until they're gone. That will be all too soon.

In my experience (different country...) there is a kind of dead band inbetween derelict properties and beautifully finished properties. Developers are very attracted to semi-derelict properties and will pay over the odds for something which will take a lot of refurbishement. Similarly people will pay over the odds for something which requires no work. The danger is in spending a lot getting to a point where it still requires work. That's not an attractive property.
Sell as is.

Break this down into manageable steps.
1. Get the utilities turned back on.
2. Engage a junk removal company. I like
. Another option is
College Hunks Hauling Junk
. They bring the truck and the manpower to get the garbage, debris and etc out of the house.
3. Hire an industrial cleaning service to come in and do what they can around the other items in the house.
4. Get your parents in the house to determine what they want to keep.
5. Get that packed and put in storage.
6. Get an Estate Sale company in to dispose of the rest of the stuff. Either they have a sale at the house and you split the proceeds, or they make an offer on the whole lot of it.
7. Get the house repaired.
8. Put it on the market.
9. Watch your parents board the plane to Boca, smiling.

I did this with a house I owned that was falling into disrepair and actually managed to pull it off decently. I broke it down into manageable chunks and basically made selling the house my job for a few months. I didn't have a hole in the roof, but I did have not hot water and an iffy water system that was turned off [by me though, not by the city]. Everyone's giving you a nice script. I'd be mindful of the types of problems you have
- money problems - what just needs to be paid for
- social problems - working out stuff with your parents
- labor problems - may also be money problems, think hard how much work you personally want to do with this house versus paying someone to do it. This also includes having people at the house when contractors have to be there etc, you'd be surprised how many can do work when you're not home
I was lucky in that I had USAA just give me a realtor and she was super nice and non-judgey and motivated and helped me outline the order that things had to happen. She was also available to occasionally meet contractors which was cool. We did an AS-IS sale which really cut down on the paperwork and inspections and headache involved in this.
So as far as order of operations, it's getting the mission critical stuff done first: roof and plumbing (with plumbing split between getting water turned back on and getting a plumber). Next deal with the junk in the house, this can be getting guys to deal with it (after getting personal items your folks want out of there) and/or just getting a dumpster and doing this work mostly yourself. Now is the time for your folks to be realistic. If they can't manage to put the things in their own home, have them rent a storage locker the deal is to get stuff OUT of the house. Don't worry about "fixing the house up" with the exception of things that would get worse or destroy the house over the winter. No paint, no staging, just get the place broom clean-ish [and moving out all the furniture can wait until it sells] and able to be walked through.
I know it's a headache and I spent way too much time with my hand in the sand about it, but I was amazed at how freeing having the house not be my longtime albatross became. It's good to just get started. Make those phone calls today. Good luck.

Depending on where you are in upstate NY (which is where I'm also located), there's definitely a market for as-is properties that can be renovated and flipped, or turned into rentals.

A tip for dealing with your parents choosing what they want, if they will agree to it: have them make a list (they could dictate it to you)
they go into the house. Things they can remember they want when they're not looking right at them are more likely to actually be things they want, and not just things they are having a hard time letting go of as they stand there staring, or olding something in their hands, and remembering the time when so-and-so bought it for them, or whatever.

I think # 1 on the list should be repairing the roof and the hole in the cellar wall. You want to stop any further disintegration. Because there is no electricity this will be more difficult but any reputable contractor should have cordless tools as well as compressors and generators to power other tools. Do not spend a fortune, just have the minimum amount of work done to prevent the roof from collapsing and the hole in the cellar from getting worse.

While I think that Not That Girl has a great idea with the advance list, I also find that part of letting go can be getting to tell those stories One Last Time. So maybe you could divide the day into 5 hours of marking or boxing up the things you want to take, plus another 3 hours where they get to tell you the story of where this or that thing came from, and then lovingly put it into the To Go box.
Only you know whether your parents are capable of letting things go if they do this, or whether a lot of junk and papers would need to be cleared first, but I think my mother was able to winnow to a huge degree (getting from a substantial house to a 2-BR apartment) only by having one last visit with a lot of souvenirs and treasures from a lifetime, and the spur to tell me all those stories too. Of course, I still had to do a lot of heartless clearing, as the whole thing can be too heartbreaking, but maybe if your parents have already taken moved out, in essence, there won't be too much beloved stuff there anyway.
Just another possible approach.

On getting your parents to sift out the stuff they want to keep, remember that making these decisions is exhausting.
If you only live ten minutes away, do one room a day with them and/or limit activity to daily 60-90 minute chunks, a set number of Pomodoro units, etc.: tactics to ensure that they don't shut down and can see progress. Set a goal of touching everything only once.
Rent one of those POD things to store the stuff they plan to keep and to establish, up front, a cubic footage limit. Or rent two PODs (the other as a way to corral stuff bound for charity) and a dumpster. Decisions about stuff that is already "gone" (outside) are less likely to be revisited.
Bring a camera to take photos of stuff they can't or shouldn't keep but want to remember. It doesn't matter if they ever look at the photos again: it's a tactic to help them let go and reassure themselves that they won't lose touch with that part of their lives. If you follow acm's advice about setting aside time to hear the stories, you could also take pictures of them with the items.
If you have siblings who won't be helping, get their input on what they do and don't want from the house in advance. Set up, in advance, a system for getting their input whenever your parents' suggest saving something for one of them. You could, for example, text them a photo/description of the object and require a response within a previously agreed time period. Or make a pile for each sibling and have them show up towards the end to collect, move or re-categorize these objects. Same goes for other family members; don't let their absence become a way for your parents to avoid dealing with making decisions about the stuff.
Photos and paper stuff (e.g., programs from long ago weddings and funerals) is often a problem. It might be worth moving an open box from room to room into which this stuff is tossed for later filing, scanning or inclusion in an album. If you anticipate much lengthy debate about who gets what photo, recipe or other paper memento, planning a way to scan them in advance will save you a lot of time that would otherwise be spent dithering. If you don't think it will slow you down, buy a bunch of plastic sleeves and put the items into a binder immediately; they can reorder them later.
Are they relocating to Florida? If so, feel free to appropriate this story... I met a guy at an auction who would go to Florida, pick up antiques cheap and truck them back to the original 13 colonies: profit. Some of his stock came from kids getting rid of their deceased parents' stuff, but a surprising amount of it came from people who lugged their mahogany dining room sets to Florida only to discover that it was all too dark and heavy for that climate and lifestyle: they traded it in for glass and rattan. Help them determine whether the furniture that looked great in an upstate NY Victorian makes sense in a beachy condo.

Have a winterization company drain the pipes, and leave the water off. Much cheaper than heating the house to the level needed to keep the pipes from breaking. No risk of finding that there's been a water leak for several days.

I agree with everyone about breaking it down into a list or plan to make the situ easier to deal with. I would even have a nice dinner with my folks to talk things out and write them down
so that as you all move along with it, they have the comfort of knowing what to expect.
On the technical side, I think
brings up a very important point about selling "as is". Making repairs may or may not change your selling price and I'd rather take a hit on my asking price than take a hit out of my pocket.
Anyway, I would get together with a broker or agent to find out if that is true or not before spending any money for repairs. (See if it makes a difference.)
One last thought, if it is at all manageable, I would have a sale of some sort after your folks retrieve what they want and need. With any luck you'll have enough $ to pay for the junk man AND a nice steak dinner for you and your folks.
Good luck, you guys will get through this!

As Yohko notes, this is actually backwards. Having the water off is better if there is a risk of freezing -- the problem occurs when there is water in the pipes that freezes, expands, and breaks the pipes. Water off? No problem.
You do want to drain everything -- open taps upstairs, flush to empty the toilets, and open the lowest point in the water supply you can find (uh, hopefully there is a floor drain in the basement). If you're not sure, call a plumber to "winterize" -- it's an easy gig for them, they'll love you. They can vacuum the water out of low points, for example.
As to insurance concerns, there is a type of insurance for uninhabited buildings, and at last resort many states have a kind of last-resort public insurance option. Ask an independent agent for some quotes. It may cost you more than regular insurance, but it won't break the bank, and it will probably be necessary at some point in the selling process.
Since you're determined to sell the house, as-is is the way to go. There are literally hundreds of thousands of similarly distressed properties on the market these days.

SMS Via GPRS Modem
I have seen some topic about sending SMS via GSM modem before, I have few more questions want to ask,
(1) Can I use the GPRS modem to send the SMS just as same as the steps of the GSM modem?
(2) I am using normal SIM card, do i need to set the number of service centre as the code "AT + CSCA = "+401722270000"? Because i don' t know the number of my service centre.
(3) How can I know the COM port of GSM modem if i used? It seems that the GSM modem will be treated as the network device but not COM port device in the window operating system.
Thank you very much if you can answer my questions.
GPRS Modem-Dialler ( VB6 Code)

Sending And Recieving Orderly.
Computer2 say's to computer1 I need the info on character positions. Computer1 sends the character position. computer2 proccess's it and reply's "give me more". Computer1 sends more. This repeats untill there are no more characters positions to transfer then computer1 say's Nomore left.
if there is only 2 messages that the computers can send ("give me characters position" and "character [number] position is...") is easy to do this accuratly. But how do I do this with many messages? I can send and make an infinite loop until everything is sent. But that does not work correctly for me. What happens is computer1 sends the character positions then computer2 proccesses it and the continuasly sends "give me more". I have tryed sending all the data in a loop one by one but on the other computer the characters position was in a mess. Ofcourse there is more messages I'm sending and recieving. But I don't know how to handle all of them well so all data gets recieved and assigned to the proper variable instead of all in one variable.
How should I handle my messages?
Thanx in advance!

Soooo... does anyone have some sample code or advice or a link to some tutorial? I'm really in a bind here, I think this control will be great and I want you all to have it.

Sending AT Commands To Modem
Anyone has experience with this?
Sending Voice And Data Through A Modem.
hey guys. heres the deal. I want to make an answering machine/remote control program for my computer. I want it to pick up the phone after a number of rings, and give a voice message to the person on the phone. I want to be able to for example press the # key, then it asks for a security code. from there I have a variety of options by pushing numbers on the keypad. I dont even know if this is possible, but I think it is. I know very little about commmands for modems, so any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Sending A MMS From A Modem Siemens MC35i
I have a question that whas already debated in this forum...
I purchase a modem Siemens MC35i GSM/GPRS , with the purpuse of sending SMS and MMS from an aplication in VB.net...
In sending SMS it was easy , I just look and study the AT comands of the Manual of the Siemens MC35i and the results where positive.
About sending MMS the manual is not explicit, I don´t have a clue whow to start and whow the process works in sending MMS...
Can I send MMS just with AT comands?
If not, can It be done in VB.net?
Can you give some kind of information,in Internet about MMS with AT comands or with Vb.net...(I´m tired of Look for this information, but with no results} )
Thanks for all...
Have a good day!!!

Sending ATDT Commands To Modem
I am trying to send ATDT commands to my laptop modem ...
I tried using MSCOMM control ... but it was no good.
My modem is configured on COM3 Port ... i cannot set the port of MSCOMM to 3... actually the only port it would connect to is 1.
so i need another way to send commands to my modem. Any ideas ?????
{Sending Data Through A Modem}very Basic Question
I was wondering where to start if i want to write a program that sends through my modem individual bits and bits and bytes... basically i want the 2 pairs to give me pulses on command. like i want to be able to send 1001 and have it pulse 5volts 0 volts 0 volts and 5volts . is this possibe?
Sending AT Commands To The Modem Using A Batch File
I would like to use a batch file to transfer my home phone line to my cell phone.
The commands I need to send from my phone are:
*73 'to cancel the last transfert
*72 XXX-XXXX 'to transfer my home number to the cell phone
*72 XXX-XXXX 'to confirm that action
Before, with DOS it was so easy. Just a command like ECHO ATDT *73 >COM2 was doing it nicely.
But now I would need a small .EXE file, let's say SENDMODEM.EXE that could send the data to the modem the way I need it.
The batch file could look like that:
WAIT 2 'a delay that I already have
You see!
Would not be a big deal to do with my old Turbo Basic but it is not working with the pseudo DOS of Win 2000.
Can somebody help me and write for me such a program. I quit programming many years ago and writing that is really out of my reach.
Hi guys,

Can any one point me in th right direction as to how to program this app. and what needs t be done to talk to the remote devices or provide source cod examples.
I would greatly appreciate any help on this matter.

Nokia 6310, GPRS And Visual Basic
I work on my final project and I have two PC's with Nokia 6310 phones. Another computer is equipped with many sensors which are collecting data to database. And from other computer I should send parameters with 6310 to other computers 6310. With these parameters the other computer will then make a query from database and send the result back to other computer. Has anyone of you made any programs or have the knowledge how to solve this problem? Basically how do I make my 6310 to send parameters to other 6310 with Visual Basic? Thanks!
Req-HOWTO Add A Serial Modem To Modem Devices List
I am trying to write an app that performs the functions of the windows "Add Modem" wizard. I am working with a wireless phone box DOWTEL CDMA 2000 with an RS-232 serial port
1: I am trying to add a modem device to the list of modems windows displays in the "Phones And Modems" control panel applet.
2: I am aware this can be done using the "Add Modem" wizard. I want to achieve this automatically, since Windows 95 to win XP and Server OSes support Standard Modem Types (Standard 33600 bps modem specifically)
3: I used an API Spy to monitor the API calls made to windows when a modem is being added. here is a list.
4: MSDN has a section on serial communications with API code in C++.. i do not know C and have at least 70 modems to configure before august. I need to automate this process. all the activex controls i have seen tell you how to work with modems already installed not how to install them with the API windows uses. they all claim to expose everything the windows code does, but there is no Addmodem function.. I guess that is what i need.
Modem-To-Modem Communication... So Lost
i know there are many topics here around the issue as i've been looking around to find an answer before starting a new post.
though i'm putting together some code and still it does not seem to work right... i hope someone can point me in the right direction.
i'm programming a simple client/server application:
1. the client uses a modem, dials the server's number;
2. server picks up the phone;
3. server sends "HELLO" text to client;
4. client diplays incomed text in a textbox.
i can get the client modem to call using the ATDT# command, and the server modem to respond using the ATA command.
however, when the phones are connected (i can hear my voice coming out of the server phone), i still do not get the CONNECTED message on the client application. i do receive BUSY if the phone is busy, but no signal when the phone has been answered.
i get the same problem using hyperterminal, so VB may not be the issue here, rather: HOW do i establish a connection between two application via modem so that i can transfer pure text between them?
if someone can help i'm really getting lost here...
FYI, code i use to open the mscomm control:
Client.MSComm1.CommPort = 1
'inputlen = 0 means to receive the full buffer
Client.MSComm1.InputLen = 0
'activate oncomm receive event after 1 byte
Client.MSComm1.RThreshold = 1
'activate oncomm send event after 1 byte
Client.MSComm1.SThreshold = 1
'activate communication to modem
Client.MSComm1.RTSEnable = True
Client.MSComm1.Handshaking = 2
Client.MSComm1.Settings = "9600,N,8,1"
'open the port
Client.MSComm1.PortOpen = True
'send attention command to modem and check it responds with OK
Client.MSComm1.Output = "ATV1Q0" & Chr$(13)
'wait for the data to come back from the serial port
mBuffer = mBuffer & Client.MSComm1.Input
Loop Until InStr(mBuffer, "OK" & vbCrLf) > 0
'OK now modem is connected
Communication Modem To Modem Problems
I have a program that dials and connects with a machine running an answering program. The program dials, connects, sends 6's till it sees a 7, then sends 3 passwords, one at a time after receiving A's from the answering program. It then sends files. My problem is, I had it working on one machine(in VB, not compiled), but when I try it on 2 different machines, I connect, but never see any input or output on either machine. I have also been having trouble with certain modems not being able to connect to each other. I have a third party control that works just like the MSComm control with a few extras. I tried using both controls, the results were the same. I am just learning programming, and the person who wrote the original answer program, programs in DOS, so maybe we are just missing something that windows controls. One more thing, the machines that the program worked on were Win95 and a non windows machine(answering machine). The program won't work on a Win98 machine sending to a non windows machine. Here is a sample of the code that worked on the one Machine:

Recieving Hex Values
I am trying to control an electrical testing unit via serial port using the comm32 control.
I can send requests to the unit which tells it to perform certain tests and operations. The unit then sends a response back with details of the results of the test. My problem is the response recieved contains hex values which, when output to a text field show up as an unrecognised character (a blank square).
Is there some form of character set I can download or a technique for converting these characters into recogniseable values?
Help much appreciated

The problem most players have isn't with the fact that the NPCs like Garrosh, it's with the fact we're not shown WHY. It just doesn't make sense to me that the orcs would go "sure Thrall is the first of the new shamans, he's Doomhammer's chosen heir, he helped free us from the internment camps, he brought us to a new homeland, he found us new allies in the trolls and tauren, he led us in victorious battle against the Burning Legion... but Garrosh is still cooler, 'cause HE hates the Alliance!" And as for the other races, why would they EVER side with someone who shows them nothing but contempt? Never mind that his supposed "glorious victories" in Northrend are very much an informed attribute, because all we ever see him do there is be stupidly belligerent and get Saurfang to clean up his messes.

The organizers of The Denver Bee would like to thank you for making our first event an overwhelming success. We had a wonderful time and are thrilled to hear that everyone else did.
We planned the Bee with three primary goals in mind. Knowing that our first event was bound to hit a few snags, it was important to ensure that we remained focused on these things:
- Raise money to support Burning Through Pages (donate!)
- Create a supportive, encouraging environment for contestants
- Make it FUN for the audience
Goal 1 was a piece of cake, thanks to the our sponsors' tremendous support and your tremendous generosity.
Goal 2 was also achieved, with one contestant going so far as to say "Tonight ranks up there as one of the best nights of my life! Thanks @thedenverbee for the fun!"
Goal 3 was possibly the most baffling (who has ever had a good time WATCHING a spelling bee?) The response has been awesome, though. People really had a good time!
So we set up three targets, and we hit the bullseye on each. We couldn't be happier! Planning has already begun for the next event, so stay tuned for updates.

Visanthe Shiancoe and Darren Sharper have called a ceasefire in their Twitter trash-talk war.
Shiancoe, the Minnesota Vikings' tight end, and Sharper, the New Orleans Saints' safety, both said Friday that they planned to curb their online banter, which has made headlines over the past two weeks.
"I said what I had to say, and I'm done with that for a little bit," Shiancoe told the Star Tribune. "We'll see what happens in the future, though. You'll never know what will re-invent itself in the future. Stay tuned."
Sharper revealed that Saints coach Sean Payton had "a few words for me" and "asked me to tone it down," according to the Times-Picayune.
"I'm done with that," said Sharper, who befriended Shiancoe in Minnesota before leaving for New Orleans last season.
"I think they got a pretty good relationship, and I'm sure in the beginning it was something that was fairly harmless in how they approached it," Payton said. "That being said, it is something that once you decide to tweet anything, it's just like we are standing here -- just picture 100,000 more people. That's the way they have to approach it, and that's the way our team has to approach it. And regardless of who it is or what position they play, it's just not something that we endorse, certainly."
Shiancoe told the St. Paul Pioneer Press on Thursday that he and Sharper really aren't mad at each other and the back-and-forth is all in good fun. On Friday, Shiancoe blamed the former teammates' competitive nature for the Twitter trash talk escalating.
"That's my boy. But at the same time, we're very, very, very extremely competitive guys," Shiancoe said. "He was my locker mate for three years, so we know each other well. We hang out and things of that nature."
The feud started May 21 when Sharper implied that the Saints would go after Brett Favre's surgically repaired ankle in the 2010 season opener if the quarterback returns to the Vikings.
The latest exchange began Tuesday after some Vikings visited the Minnesota National Guard. Shiancoe posted a photo of a target used for shooting practice. The target had a picture of Osama Bin Laden saying, "I'm Darren Sharper," with the safety's No. 42 on his chest.
"Before target practice a soldier suggested a custom target for me," Shiancoe tweeted before posting the picture. "Guess he wanted to start my engine early for the SAINTS game!"
Sharper seemed to take exception.
"Ok homeboy you done went too far, making me out to be something that has brought this country alot of heartache," Sharper tweeted Wednesday. "Imma bust you right under your chinstrap from the first play on. I don't care about the fine. ... Imma do it for the red, white & blue."
"And you'll see me cuz I'll be dressed in black & gold," Sharper tweeted. "Protect your neck that's all the warning you get."
According to the Pioneer Press, Shiancoe responded on Twitter that Sharper's words were "the epitome of a crooked politician have some class 'homeboy.'"
When asked Friday if the exchanges had gone too far, Sharper said: "I know I'm not what was pictured in that picture, and I didn't like seeing that too much. ... We'll see come first game how much friends we are."
As for how he uses his Twitter site going forward, Sharper said, "I'll save my tweets for positive information -- I'm doing well today ... the sun is shining -- things of that nature."
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Dramatic Dining: A Shelf of Paintings
Dining Inspiration
While it may not be as dramatic as this art wall, I still admire the effect this shelf of paintings has on the dining room. Because they're leaning against the wall (not hanging), the overall feel is a little relaxed, despite the relative formality and weight of the paintings. Varying sizes and styles also keep it interesting, and break up the monotony of the white wall. What do you think?

I use the chair rail in our dining room to display framed and unframed artwork!
I like it. The whole set up reminds me of a really cool coffee shop. Love the chandelier also.
I love this. I have often placed framed art inside bookcases, too. Just pull out as many shelves as you need.
Is anyone else unsettled by images of faces staring at them? I suppose they would be company if dining alone! I dislike head-level mirrors in public areas for the same reason: faces, staring, watching...
well ... I don't much care for the fellow in his underpants. I might put him in the hall instead.

A Top 2 Positions of a Successful Opportunity Fund
Anh is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Mike Lippert, the portfolio manager of Baron Opportunity Retail Fund, has managed to generate outstanding returns in the past ten years. This fund gets a four star rating from Morningstar, delivering a sweet 10-year-annualized return of 12.40%, beating the S&P 500's return of only 8.05% during the same period. Year-to-date, it gained by nearly 21%, a bit higher than S&P 500's gain of 19.62%. The top two stocks in its portfolio were Illumina (NASDAQ: ILMN) and Gartner (NYSE: IT). Let's take a closer look to see whether or not we should follow Mike Lippert into those two stocks.
The biggest player in the sequencing market
Illumina is Baron's largest position, accounting for nearly 4.1% of the total portfolio. Incorporated in 1998, it is the leader in manufacturing and developing of life science tools and integrated systems for genetic analysis. The company generated around $568.4 million, or 49.5% of its total revenue, within in the U.S., while Asia-Pacific ranks second with nearly $232.5 million in sales. The company reported that most of its revenue (64%) derived from consumable sales, while instrument sales accounted for 27% of total 2012 revenue.
In the past four years, Illumina has consistently grown its top line and generated positive cash flow. Revenue increased from $666 million in 2009 to nearly $1.15 billion in 2012, while free cash flow fluctuated in the range of $119 million to $279 million during the same period. For the full year, Illumina expects to grow its revenue by 20%, and its non-GAAP EPS might come in at around $1.68 - $1.72, including the acquisition impact of Verinata and Advanced Liquid Logic. Illumina is trading at $78.80 per share, with a total market cap of $9.86 billion. The market values Illumina at as much as 38.9 times its forward earnings.
Mike Lippert likes Illumina was the best company with the dominating position in the DNA-based tests business, with around 100% share of the sequencing instruments in the U.S. He likes the high amount of recurring revenue coming from consumables, which was sold in every test the customers do.
Much more expensive than Life Technologies
Compared to one of its peers, Life Technologies (NASDAQ: LIFE), Illumina has a much higher valuation. Life Technologies is trading at $74.80 per share, with a total market cap of $12.90 billion. The market values Life Technologies much more cheaply, at only 16.4 times its forward earnings. Life Technologies is the global biotech company, offering around 50,000 end-to-end solutions to more than 75,000 customers in more than 180 countries. What I like about Life Technologies is its high level of recurring revenue, accounting for 85% of total revenue, along with strong free cash flow generation. In the past twelve months its operating cash flow was $772 million, while the free cash flow stayed at around $635 million.
Life Technologies is positioned for much more growth ahead with its global franchise system. It has around 1,200 scientists with broad expertise, owning 5,000 patents and licenses. In a long run, it would expand its business footprint with local distributions, localized products, local sales team with distribution acquisitions in China, Chile and South Korea, and local relationships.
Gartner - a global leader in IT research and consulting
The second largest position in Mike Lippert's portfolio is Gartner, representing 3.95% of his total portfolio. Gartner, founded in 1979, is the world's leader in providing technology-related insight to more than 13,300 distinct organizations in 85 countries. Most of its revenue (nearly $1.14 billion) was generated from the Research segment, while the Consulting and the Events segments contributed only $304.9 million and $173.8 million, respectively, in sales.
In the past four years, Gartner has managed to consistently increase earnings and cash flow. EPS has risen from $0.85 in 2009 to $1.73 in 2012 while the free cash flow has grown from $147 million to $235 million during the same period. Looking forward, Gartner expects to expand the Research business, optimize the Events portfolio, and increase the profitability of the Consulting business. The company hopes to grow its revenue by around 11%-16%. Most of the growth would come from the Research business, at 15%-20%. Gartner expects to experience a 50-150 basis points per year margin improvement in normalized EBITDA. Gartner is trading at $58 per share, with a market cap of around $5.4 billion. The market values Gartner quite expensively, at 24.6 times its forward earnings.
My Foolish take
In the long run, Illumina, Life Technologies and Gartner will manage to deliver decent operating performance, due to their global-leading positions, growing free cash flow and a lot of potential growth. Among the three, I like Illumina the most with its huge market share in the sequencing market and its huge recurring revenue, which makes the revenue stream more predictable. Nevertheless, with quite a high earnings valuation, I would rather wait for short-term price correction before I initiate a long position.

Articles on
sticking to resolutions are an inescapable part of the January landscape.
But while experts are
everywhere offering tips and tricks for remaining committed to resolutions, few
pundits take a "no resolutions" approach to ringing in the New Year. In the
spirit of "there's two sides to every story," we take a look at the notion of
skipping resolutions altogether. Hey, you still got the champagne!
Make New Year's Resolutions: They're Not Good for Your Health: If you're thinking
about adopting a healthier lifestyle, eliminating resolutions may be the first
step, according to this article: Don't
Make New Year's Resolutions: They're Not Good for Your Health. The article posits
that sticking to resolutions can create stress, rack up unnecessary expenses
and can cause depression when resolutions are unmet. Rather, the article
promotes the notion that the healthiest, happiest, fittest people are those
that develop successful patterns in their lives--lives which
involve achievement and close relationships. By building on successes, whatever
they may be, and by maintaining committed relationships, health and wellness
naturally flow as part of their "active, achieving, and dependable lives." So
socialize with the healthy and happy - wellness is contagious!
New Year's Resolutions Don't Work - Here's Why: Did you ever stop to think that goal setting
is akin to declaring that your life isn't good enough, that happiness is always
around the corner and is missing and absent from your life right now? The
article New Year's Resolutions Don't Work -
Here's Why, makes the case that when we constantly
resolve to make changes, that when we look ahead to a goal, rather than
focusing on, and enjoying the present, that we miss the chance to focus on the
happiness and success that is currently in hand. Food for thought, no?
Why New Year's Resolutions Don't Work: This
article suggests that many resolutions are made with pie-eyed optimism that
generally doesn't translate into success. But rather than truly eschewing the
notion of New Year's goal setting, the author does in fact make the case for
something quite similar: planning. The article advocates making time for an annual
(or better yet, quarterly) planning session(s) to lay out goals and concrete
strategies for moving the ball forward. Read on for more about why taking
stocking of your life or business, and planning for growth or change should be
a part of your 2013: Why New Year's Resolutions Don't

The Cleveland Browns are entering a new era in their franchise's history and it seems the front office is determined to use free agency to fill massive holes and make major upgrade all over the roster. Cleveland has already been linked to Paul Kruger and according to the Cleveland Plain-Dealer, another soon-to-be ex-Baltimore Ravens linebacker is on the Browns radar, as Dannell Ellerbe has reportedly been in contact with the Browns about possibly hashing out a contract.
The #Browns have talked to the agent of #Ravens linebacker Dannell Ellerbe, a league source told the PD.
— Mary Kay Cabot (@MaryKayCabot) March 10, 2013
If the Browns made a run at both Kruger and Ellerbe as well as Cliff Avril, they'd potentially have an entirely new linebacking corps next season. Kruger played outside linebacker for the Ravens last season while Ellerbe is an interior linebacker. Avril is the wild card as he played defensive end in the Detroit Lions 4-3 scheme last year but may slide to outside linebacker in the Browns new 3-4 look should he sign in Cleveland.
The Browns were expected to be one of the most active teams in free agency and so far that's proving to be true. While they haven't agreed in principle to a deal with any players yet, they're linked to almost every free agent on the market at the moment from top targets like Avril, Ellerbe and Kruger to quarterback Derek Anderson.
When free agency officially begins on Tuesday, don't be at all surprised to see at least one of the above mentioned names ink a brand new contract with the new look Browns.

A visitor asked: Do you have any advice about EFT for sinus headaches? Tapping just seems to make the pain worse or bring on sickness, as the actual tapping points are tender.
Here are some tips for treating sinus headaches, headaches and migraines with EFT.
Dear X,
the general advice for anything where tapping hurts is to gently place your finger on the point and breathe deeply on each point, in and out. Do the whole Classic EFT Protocol (which includes the finger points) and do it round and round, meaning don't stop after one round, go straight into the next.
When I was researching EFT I played with various ways to stimulate the points and remember one occasion where I used an ice cube.
Now this may not be the right thing for your sinus headache but perhaps touching a crystal or a smooth pebble to the points, or something warm might do the trick for you? Try out different things. I used to have bad migraines and found that even if something didn't work it was better than just lying there feeling miserable, and especially at the beginning of the attacks when the fear of the pain to come would cause further stress. Eventually I found the ice cubes and that did the trick for me; so perhaps you can find something too.
One last tip - when I could catch the migraine very early on, the very first symptoms, plain tapping on stress often did the trick to relax me and clear it up, so the sooner you can get to it, the better as well.
Hope that helps and good luck to you,

Camp helps kids deal with their juvenile arthritis
To help children deal with that and to let them feel like and accomplish what non-arthritic kids do every day, the Arthritis Foundation in 2003 established Camp Dakota, a summer camp for kids. Its facilities are similar to those at most camps – a swimming and fishing pond, nature center, trails, activity fields and, of course, a large campfire pit suitable for any marshmallow roast and sing-along. read more

Charitable donations are a great way to get even more deductions on your tax return this year. Many resale shops are doing a large amount of business due to those savvy shoppers trying to save some money by purchasing second hand.
You are able to deduct items you donated at fair market value on your tax return. This will eliminate your tax liability dollar for dollar. In order to follow all IRS guideline you must do the following when donating:
- Itemize all items donated
- Donated to a legitimate charity
- You must have a receipt from the charity
It is a good idea to track all donations throughout the year to ensure you are getting the most tax savings possible. You must itemize using form 1040 and Schedule A. If your amount of items donated exceeds $500.00 then you will have to use form 8283 to itemize all of your noncash charitable contributions. If you decide to take the standard deduction on your return then you will not see a tax savings from your charitable donations.
Don't forget those often overlooked deductions such as, miles driven for a charitable cause or tickets you may have purchase to attend a charity event. The IRS offers a complete list of exempt organizations to make sure you are donating to a legitimate charity.
There are many online tax preparing websites that offer help with itemizing your charitable donations. For example, TurboTax offers a new program called It's Deductible that will help you track your donations throughout the entire year as well as offering tools to help you find the fair market value of your donated goods.
To learn more about It's Deductible please visit TurboTax Online. TurboTax Online will help you meet all of the IRS requirements to get the largest deduction possible.

Pesticide Registration Improvement Renewal Act (PRIA 2)
Fee Determination Decision Tree
Note: EPA no longer updates this information, but it may be useful as a reference or resource.
Decision Tree Resources:
Fiscal Year 2011 & 2012
Action Code
FY11/FY12 Decision Time
|Additional Food Use
Do you plan to request either of the following types of waivers?
|50% waiver
|75% waiver
To pay the fee shown above, go to http://www.pay.gov and follow the instructions.
How to submit your application directly to EPA.
|Action Code Interpretation:
|An application that proposes an additional food use. Additional food use includes a proposed food use for any U. S. registered active ingredient for which there currently is an approved food use. The use may require the establishment of, or the exemption from the requirement of a tolerance under section 408 of the FFDCA. The application submission must contain a petition to establish tolerances or exemption(s) from tolerance for all food/feed commodities covered by the pending registration application(s). A different pattern of use that significantly changes or increases exposure such as a dosage rate increase or different method of application will result in the application being treated as a new use. Some examples of food uses include corn, apples, and aquatic uses involving potable water, irrigation, or requiring tolerances for fish, or shellfish, pasture, rangeland, home garden, beehive, livestock, livestock housing, livestock dips, and livestock ear tags. The fee applies to each additional food use requested up to 5 uses (i.e. the fee for this category is multiplied by 4 if 4 uses are proposed). If six or more additional food uses are requested in the application, fee category R190 applies. If a crop group or subgroup is requested, the fee is based on the number of representative crops in that group or subgroup that are not currently registered. If all of the representative crops have been registered, then requesting the crop group will count as one additional use. Some unusual examples of outdoor uses are livestock uses, (i.e. ear tags), livestock dips, and feed through treatments of livestock.

Maulvi Nazir Wazir, a Taliban leader who survived a bombing in November, was killed by a U.S. drone strike in northern Pakistan Wednesday that also claimed his deputy, sources say.
ISLAMABAD — A U.S. drone strike killed a Taliban commander, his deputy and eight others in northern Pakistan, intelligence sources and tribal leaders said Thursday.
Maulvi Nazir, also known as Mullah Nazir, an important commander from the Wazir tribe, was killed on Wednesday night when missiles struck a house in Angoor Adda, near the capital of Wana, South Waziristan, near the Afghan border, seven intelligence sources and two residents from his tribe said.
His deputy, Ratta Khan, was also killed, three sources said.
He favored attacking American forces in Afghanistan rather than Pakistani soldiers in Pakistan, a position that put him at odds with some other Pakistan Taliban commanders.
Nazir was wounded in a bombing in November, widely believed to be as a result of his rivalries with other Taliban commanders.
Shortly after the bombing, his Wazir tribe told the Mehsud tribe, related to Taliban leader Hakimullah Mehsud, to leave the area.
The Pakistani army has clawed back territory from the Taliban since launching a military offensive in 2009. Intensified drone strikes have also killed many senior Taliban leaders, including Mehsud's predecessor, Baitullah Mehsud, in 2009.
Drone strikes have dramatically increased since President Barack Obama took office. There were only five drone strikes in 2007, peaking at 117 in 2010, then down to 46 last year.
Most of the strikes hit militants although civilians have also been killed. Rights groups say that some residents are so afraid of the strikes they don't want to leave their homes.
Data collected from news reports by the Bureau of Investigative Journalism say that between 2,600-3,404 Pakistanis have been killed by drones, of which 473-889 were reported to be civilians.
It is difficult to verify civilian casualties because Taliban fighters often seal off the sites of drone strikes immediately.
Some Pakistanis say the drone strikes are an infringement of their national sovereignty and have called for them to stop.
Others, including some residents of the tribal areas along the Afghan border, say they are killing Taliban commanders who have terrorized the local population.

Just want to make sure this is ok before I do it.
The kimchi in my fridge is still very fresh tasting, and I just want to make sure it's OK for me to take some out after it being in the fridge to put in a jar to ferment quicker?

From the Armchair: Kansas City Chiefs, Week 3
9/20/13 in NFL | Dan_B | 1067 respect
Thursday night's 26-16 win over the Philadelphia Eagles was a big combination of great Kansas City defense, Philadelphia sloppiness and a clutch drive our two from the Chiefs.
The first half was actually frustrating to watch (probably for both fan bases). The Eagles turned it over 4 times, yet the Chiefs' offense could not take full advantage, scoring just 13 points off those turnovers (7 of which came on Eric Berry's pick-6).
It is clear, through 3 weeks, that this Chiefs' defense is going to give a lot of offensive coordinators headaches this season. KC has 6 or 7 legit Pro Bowl-caliber players (Derrick Johnson, Justin Houston, Tamba Hali, Brandon Flowers, Dontari Poe, Sean Smith and Berry). More importantly, they rush the passer relentlessly, and have very solid corners, which allows Bob Sutton to dial up blitzes and still feel confident in coverage.
Kansas City's offense wasn't much to write home about for the first 3 quarters, however. Jamaal Charles had very few holes to run through and Alex Smith was under constant duress. However, when the Chiefs most needed a big drive -- after the Eagles pulled to within 23-16 in the 4th quarter and a muffed kickoff return by Dexter McCluster left KC at their own five -- they got it. The Chiefs managed to milk about 8 minutes of game clock on the drive, which set up a field goal to make it a 2-score game.
For more takeaways from the game, hit the jump.

For those who need, will be able to perceive what they actually see. As where those with greed want only the ability to deceive, to deceive those who failed to see, to believe, in what they could be."
