(CNN) - Democratic Sen. Patrick Leahy filed three amendments Tuesday night to the immigration reform package, including a controversial amendment involving gay rights that could potentially derail the bill's progress in the Senate.
The senator from Vermont proposed recognizing same-sex marriages in which one spouse is an American, saying the amendment would "remove discrimination from our immigration system."
"Seeking equal protection under our laws for the LGBT community is the right thing to do," Leahy said in a statement announcing the amendments.
It's unclear whether the Senate will vote on the amendment, but the proposal virtually has no chance of winning the 60 votes almost certainly needed to clear the 100-member chamber.
The senator first proposed the legislation when the Senate Judiciary Committee marked up the bill last month. With vigorous opposition from some Republicans and some Democrats saying they wouldn't support the amendments, Leahy ultimately withheld his proposals.
However, he indicated he may bring them back up again. After the full Senate voted Tuesday to proceed with the bill, Leahy did just that.
"As the entire Senate turns to debate the immigration bill, the fight for equality must go on," he added in the statement.
Florida Sen. Marco Rubio - the most prominent Republican in the "Gang of Eight," a group of senators who developed a bipartisan proposal - was among those who called Leahy's amendments a poison pill virtually certain to destroy GOP support for the measure.
"I hope we can avoid this," he said last month during committee markup. "This is not the issue to engage this in, or you will threaten the entire product."
Rubio threatened to remove his own support from the bill if the same-sex marriage measure stayed.
Leahy also proposed two other amendments Tuesday that did not involve gay rights. One seeks a "reliable" process for foreign performers needing to gain entry to attend American non-profit performing arts organizations, while the other calls for extending benefits to a child or spouse of immigrants who hold agricultural temporary work visas.
- CNN's Ted Barrett, Alan Silverleib and Ashley Killough contributed to this report.
Thank you Sen. Leahy for doing what's right.
Sen. Leahy, Thank you.
Sen. Rubio, grow up.
This guy is my hero.
We're ready, willing, and able to replace all of these dangerous clowns.
While I applaud Leahy's desire for equality this is not the right place to do it. Even if the amendment wouldn't kill GOP support it'd open a legal challenge to the bill since it'd go counter to DOMA which prevents the federal government and federal agencies (such as NIS and the IRS) from recognizing same-sex unions. Hopefully DOMA will be repealed by SCOTUS soon (since the GOP is unlikely to allow it to be repealed via legislation) and then the issue of Leahy's amendment won't matter, at least in the states that recognize same-sex couples and have an immigration case involving a same-sex couple.
Gays ruin everything. What's new.
Lack of morality, and abundance of perversity is going to be the end of the USA.
How about concentrating first on removing discrimination against American citizens before you go messing up an otherwise unrelated immigration bill?
introducing gay rights into an immigration bill, seems pretty self explanitory. If you want to kill the bill.
We are losing our morality to the perverse ways of a people that have lost their way. The USA will stand only so long once our moral foundation is cracked.
This will become moot in a couple of weeks when the Supreme Court strikes down DOMA.
This is why guys like Leahy need to have term limits. Stop holding up the process dude!
Why is this even an issue for Rubio and others? If same-sex couples are legally married, they should have the same responsibilities, rights and privileges as other legally married couples. Why is this such a problem??
This was the right thing to do. Kudos to the senator for standing up for what he believes in, and for what is right for America.
What does gay rights have to o with an immigration bill. This is just a political ploy to attack Republicans. Bad move. No one benefits from this.
Because these fools have to add amendments to every bill that has nothing to do with the original ones, this one will stall. Why cant we let these issues stand on their own?
and I want a car that flies...but right now cheaper gas prices ( less than $2) would be awesome. C'mon Leahy, stop being an idiot. Putting gay rights in this bill is a poison pill.
Equal rights and equal protection for all couples once and for all. All families are the same. Please do not discriminate and break up families because one spouse in a same sex marriage is not a US citizen. That's flat out wrong and shameful.
@ sanityrules
Gay rights matter in immigration law because some migrants ( both legal and illegal ) are gay . Many gay and lesbians Americans have emigrated from the US because their partners aren't allowed to migrate to the US , as heterosexuals partners of US citizens often can do . Im gay , not American and not interested in moving the US , as I have an Australian partner here in Australia , just interested in human rights around the world .
While the amendment might be the right thing to do, it really changes nothing if the bill fails to pass. Immigration reform is long, long overdue and should be passed in a way that will command a majority in both houses (I didn't say a majority of Reoublicans, by the way Mr. Speaker). If the Supreme Court doesn't "fix" the issue then by all means bring it to the floor separately. But don't kill immigration reform for a "make a point" amendment that will not become law right now.
For ME, I don't believe homosexuality is right. That being said, I don't have the right to tell others how to live. As an American, I think the Constitution automatically extends to soup of us without prejudice as to our race, color, gender, religion our sexual preference and see no reason why any amendments such as proposed should EVER.have to be added to any legislation concerning individual rights. We are already supposed to be protected under the Constitution and the amendment sounds redundant. It shouldn't be allowed to detail immigration reform. I know, it would be much easier if we will just accepted that all are produced under the Constitution, but, unfortunately, some of us think it protects only our.rights and not the rights of others.
Thank you, Senator Leahy.
What about our national anthem the land of the free. we're not all free quite yet so our national anthem is false advertisement to some groups
Seems there are Dems and Gops who know this will KILL the BILL and are not happy with this. I am for these rights and i am VERY unhappy to see this stupidity. . Since DOMA is not repealed, it would be premature to consider this right that does not yet exist in a different federal measure. Do immigration reform as it it critical to get it done, and then argue to repeal DOMA. Then the immigration bill can get a legitimate amendment. Following Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs , love and marriage is a 3rd level want and not one of the 2 levels safety or physiological needs that many need to have addressed and are now at risk of being lost. Threatening access to more basic survival needs of many for grandstanding on something that is not currently legally feasible seems both selfish and foolhardy.

The first 2 pics were first attempt. I broke up the oreos and stuffed them into the batter.
The one below with one whole Oreo is my 2nd attempt.
There's a cafe here in KK that makes yummy cheesecakes. I am thinking of recreating them.
Altho I know that they use whipping cream in their cheesecakes (a leak from a baking supplies shop), I am thinking of using condensed milk.
I saw a post on using condensed milk for cheesecake, and so, I adapted this recipe from there.
250gm cream cheese
150gm sweetened condensed milk
2 eggs, separated
1 small pinch of cream of tartar
1 Tbsp sugar
1 tube of Oreo (137gm)
*everything be at room temperature when u're ready to start.
1. Separate Oreos, leaving 12 pcs w/o cream intact and round. Put the rest of the biscuits together with the filling into a food processor and pulse til fine.
Remember to preheat ur oven (150C) and boil water after this.
2. Line big muffin tin (100ml capacity each) with 12 paper cups. Place 1 heaped teaspoon of oreo crumbs onto paper cups and smooth out with a teaspoon, lightly press the crumbs to flatten.
3. With a mixer, beat egg whites until frothy, add in cream of tartar continue to beat until soft peaks. Add in sugar and beat til stiff (as long as egg whites don't fall when overturned, it will be fine, no need to be pointy stiff). Set aside, and quickly do the next step.
4 Cream cream cheese on low speed until smooth (a minute or 2), put in condensed milk and egg yolks and continue to beat on low speed for another minute until well combined. Fold in egg whites.
5. Spoon (4) into prepared paper cups. Top with an oreo biscuit or u can break it up and put it where ever u like (middle, top)
6. Bake for 20 minutes in a waterbath.
7. Leave to cool in oven, door ajar. Cool completely before chilling.
8. Best chilled for 3 hours or more before serving.
*note: Malaysian Sweetened Condensed Creamer and Condensed Filled milk is generally sweeter than Condensed Full Cream Milk than can be purchased from out of the country. I made this recipe with Condensed Full Cream Milk, and so far those who ate what I made said it was just nice.
**Deflated egg whites will create a shorter and sweeter cake. Be careful when you fold in the egg whites. Don't deflate the batter.
I love this cheesecake. The beaten egg whites makes the cake soft and fluffy, unlike my marble cheesecake.
Really nice to eat, serious!!!

What is a pixel?
A pixel can be a single LED bulb or a cluster of LED bulbs. In the case of a full-color sign, a pixel consists of a red, green, and blue LED bulb. This combination of LED bulbs gives you the ability to display more than 16 million colors on your LED Sign.
What is Pixel Density?
The pixel density is the product of the total rows and columns of pixels. For example, the Lighthouse Series (P16mm) has a pixel density of 362 pixels per square foot. Since each module is 1.1025 square feet with 20 pixels in each row and column, the pixel density of this LED module is 400 pixels (20X20).
How is screen brightness determined?
Depending on the model you select your display brightness ranges from 7500 nits to as much as 12000 nits (the higher the number equals greater visibility).
What are the differences between the different resolutions?
The two major differences between the various resolutions are the pixel density and the display brightness. To calculate the pixel density: multiply the total rows and columns of LEDs. A good rule of thumb is lower resolution signs are intended to be viewed from further distances and are typically brighter.
How do you create content and upload it to the sign?
Your purchase includes the software needed to create slideshows and connect with the sign. The software lets you import your images and videos, add text, change colors and font sizes, and lastly upload content from your PC to the LED sign wirelessly.
What are the connection options?
The LED sign supports most modern communication formats such as a Direct LAN connection and Wireless LAN, aka WIFI. The LED sign can also be configured with a 4G card if the application requires it. The 4G card lets your program you sign almost any device with an active internet connection.

California's new election system -- with its top-two "primary" and redistricting by citizens' commission -- had a less than epic debut.
It produced expensive races, record low turnout (especially among the independent voters who were supposed to be empowered by it), and very little other change in California's broken election system.
But that hasn't stopped the backers of the redistricting and top-two reforms from declaring victory -- saying they are making progress, even in the face of the clear facts of the election. In recent days, backed by a study from the Public Policy Institute of California, they've been rolling out another talking point in defense of reforms:
U.S. & World
That it made the elections closer.
Well, the margins in elections are closer. But it's a ridiculous argument for a couple of reasons.
First, it's an apples-and-oranges comparison. Top-two doesn't work like a partisan primary. Yes, PPIC did the best it could and took the vote totals from previous primary elections and put them into a top-two format. But the context is too different.
Simply put, those previous elections were primaries; the top-two isn't a primary. It's the first round of a general election.
Second, another factor in the closeness of this year's race also is turnout. Since the election produced record low turnouts, there were fewer votes. When you get fewer votes, guess what? The number of votes separating candidates often can be less.
It's very weird -- you might say "desperate" -- to argue that closer races are a boon, particularly in these circumstances. A low-turnout election with very close races could easily be seen another way: as a democratic failure.
Since most people don't vote (in California, four out of five of those eligible didn't vote), a close, low-turnout election increases the chances that the result would have been different if more people had voted.
But in the world of California good government reform, no failures are ever acknowledged.
Another point: very close elections are often not a good thing. They can create real problems for democratic legitimacy -- see Bush v. Gore.
The point of elections is not to have close contests. By that argument, is Russia more of a democracy, or less of a dictatorship, because Putin's last election margin wasn't nearly as high as previous ones?
And close contests are not a good measure of competition. At least the kind of competition that we want in elections -- which is the contest between ideas and governing plans that can be put into effect by the winners.
The point of elections is to engage the public by offering them real choices between officials and parties, who then have the power to rule.
California doesn't have legislation elections, or even a governing system, that produce elections like that. And the top-two and redistricting reform don't bring us any closer to having the kind of elections California needs.

Three homers not enough to secure opening sweep
Semien hits go-ahead HR before Lindstrom blows save in thrilling effort
CHICAGO -- The White Sox weren't exactly planning a championship parade following two hard-fought home victories over the Twins to open the 2014 season.
So all hope is not exactly lost following Thursday's 10-9 loss in a game played under expected chilly April Midwest conditions at U.S. Cellular Field. But it's definitely a contest filed under the "one that got away" category.
"If you look at the whole series, it's a good series, it's a good way to start the season," said White Sox catcher Tyler Flowers, who set a career high with four hits. "This one is a little tough because we had a couple of chances to kind of seal it up."
"I'm going to give credit to the Twins," White Sox manager Robin Ventura said. "They battled, and they're the ones that put up the runs. They had a good offensive plan today, and they did well."
Minnesota manager Ron Gardenhire's 999th career victory came on an afternoon when the White Sox held an 8-5 lead in the seventh and then a 9-8 lead after eight. But the relief quartet of Nate Jones, Maikel Cleto, Ronald Belisario and Matt Lindstrom combined to allow five runs on four hits and three walks over three innings in relief of Jose Quintana.
Two runs scored off of Lindstrom in the ninth, starting with a one-out walk to Josh Willingham and followed one out later by a game-tying single from Trevor Plouffe on a 3-2 sinker. Oswaldo Arcia delivered the game-winner by driving a triple just over the ahead of center fielder Adam Eaton, who robbed Arcia in the seventh with a running, leaping catch into the wall.
Dayan Viciedo's pinch-hit double, which dropped barely fair after second baseman Brian Dozier and first baseman Chris Colabello couldn't find the routine popup, and Arcia's ensuing throwing error set the White Sox up with a runner on third and one out in the ninth against Glen Perkins. But Alexei Ramirez lined out to shortstop, and pinch-hitter Paul Konerko smacked a hard first-pitch grounder to third to end the comeback.
A wild effort from the bullpen, culminating in Lindstrom's first blown save, was too much for the White Sox to overcome.
"Right now, the biggest thing I'm feeling is the guys battled so hard in the cold weather," Lindstrom said. "We put up some runs on the board, we came back when we were down, guys putting together great at-bats, playing good defense, so it feels bad kind of letting the team down in that sense."
Quintana allowed five runs, of which only two were earned, on five hits and struck out eight. He was in line for a victory when the White Sox scored three in the fifth and four in the sixth to erase a 5-1 deficit, but instead finished with his 28th no-decision since 2012.
That rally against Phil Hughes and Anthony Swarzak was highlighted by Adam Dunn's two-run homer and four RBIs from Jose Abreu. The big first baseman doubled home Eaton in the fifth and cleared the bases with his first career triple in the sixth.
Abreu already had grabbed the Twins' attention based on the two intentional walks he received Wednesday. He did a little more convincing of being the real deal offensively with his blasts on Thursday.
"I'm glad I won't see him for a while. The kid can really hit. We knew that coming in," said Gardenhire of Abreu. "We heard he was a really strong young man, and that's why we were pitching around him.
"No disrespect to Mr. Dunn. The way the guy is getting the barrel to the ball, you just try to limit the damage when he comes up in a lot of situations because he seems like he's on. He hits pretty much everything. Even when he makes an out, he seems like he gets the barrel to it. Looks like he really knows what he's doing hitting."
Marcus Semien broke an 0-for-13 season-opening hitless streak with a go-ahead solo homer in the eighth, after walking with the bases loaded in the sixth to force in a run and set up Abreu. Alejandro De Aza also homered for the third time, leaving him one short of the four homers he hit at U.S. Cellular Field last season.
On the bad news side of the story, Jones re-aggravated a left glute strain that kept him out of action until March 8 during Spring Training as he was warming up Thursday. He will be re-evaluated Friday.
"It went away [from Spring Training], but for some reason, I felt it today. So we're going to see how it feels tomorrow and go from there," Jones said. "It's kinda just in the back of your head. When you're thinking about something else besides hitting the mitt, then you see what happens. It's not good for the team."
Three games in Kansas City and Colorado are next for the White Sox, who will try to erase Thursday's come-from-ahead loss as quickly as possible.
"We'll battle back," Lindstrom said. "I feel like we're a resilient team, and we played our guts out today. That's the feeling as a closer when you don't get the job done. That's what really kind of hurts, but we're looking forward to getting on this road trip and seeing if we can be a good road team."
"They did a good job of avoiding the sweep there and fighting down to their last strike," Semien said. "We feel like any time we get two strikes, two outs in the ninth, it hurts when the other team wins."

While buying a new home is an exciting process, trying to learn a whole new vocabulary can be a bit overwhelming. From A to Z, this glossary should help familiarize first-time buyers with the home-buying terms you'll need to understand as you move through the steps of purchasing and financing a new home.
A written addition to a Purchase & Sale Agreement, or "contract," to change or clarify terms.
|Adjustable-Rate Mortgage (ARM)
A mortgage in which the interest rate (and therefore the monthly payment) can fluctuate up and down during the life of the loan. Depending on the specific loan terms, your interest rate may change every 6 or 12 months. Because the initial interest rate is often lower for an adjustable-rate loan, the monthly payments during the first few years may be lower than for a fixed rate loan. Some home buyers prefer the adjustable mortgage if they do not expect to stay in the home for more than a few years, or if they think interest rates are heading down.
The process by which the balance of a loan is reduced through monthly principal and interest payments.
An opinion of the market value of a home expressed by a real estate appraiser.
|Approval Conditions
Acceptance of the borrower's loan application. Approval means the borrower meets the lender's qualification requirements and also its underwriting requirements. In some cases, the approval may be conditioned on verification of additional information to be provided by the borrower
|APR (Annual Percentage Rate)
The total cost of a mortgage, expressed as a percentage of the loan amount. Unlike the base interest rate (which only includes interest), the APR includes all costs associated with your loan, including points, origination fees, private mortgage insurance, etc. Because different lenders charge different fees, looking at the APR is a good way to compare the total costs of loans from various lenders.
|Capped Rate
A rate that has been "capped," ensuring that the mortgage interest rate will not exceed a specified value during a certain period of time, even though it will fluctuate up and down below that level.
|Close of Escrow
The date on which the deed to the property is transferred to the buyer and the buyer takes possession of the new home.
|Closing Costs
Expenses incurred by buyers and sellers when a home is sold excluding the price of the home itself and the down payment. Common closing costs include points, prepaid interest, prorated property taxes (if any), escrow fees, title insurance fees, document recording fees, and real estate commissions.
|Closing Disclosure (CD)
A Closing Disclosure is a five-page form that provides final details about the mortgage loan you have selected. It includes the loan terms, your projected monthly payments, and how much you will pay in fees and other costs to get your mortgage (closing costs). The Closing Disclosure is a new form under the new TRID Regulation.
|Closing Statement
The financial disclosure statement that accounts for all of the funds received and expended at the closing.
See Purchase & Sale Agreement
|Conventional Financing
Financing that is not insured by a government agency (such as the FHA or the VA).
To transfer title or an interest in real property by means of a written instrument such as a deed or assignment of lease.
|Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions ("CCRs, or Declarations")
Simply stated, CCRs are the rules of living in a given neighborhood. They are recorded at the county courthouse for the property and apply to all homeowners within that neighborhood. Some examples of items included in the CCRs might be restrictions on exterior paint colors or improvements, requirements to keep landscaping maintained, and the like. CCRs, when enforced by the Homeowners' Association, help protect property values in a neighborhood.
|Credit Report
A report from an independent credit-rating service (such as TRW, Experian or Equifax) listing all of a borrower's current obligations to various creditors, including credit card payments, car payments, student loan payments, etc. The report shows how much is owed, as well as whether your payments are made on time. A credit report is a required document during application for a home loan.
|Debt-to-Income Ratio
The ratio of monthly debt payments to monthly gross income, which is used to qualify a buyer for a mortgage.
|Declaration of Condominium
The legal document that creates a condominium Homeowners' Association. This document contains most of the important information about how the association will operate such as what Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions exist, how dues will be collected, what authority the association has, etc.
|Deed of Trust
The document that pledges the subject property as collateral for the repayment of the loan.
|Down Payment
The portion of a home's purchase price paid by the buyer at closing. Often, the down payment is expressed as a percentage of the total purchase price.
|Earnest Money (Deposit)
The money paid by the buyer at the time of contract "in good faith" to assure performance of a contract.
A right given to a third party to use or access a portion of property for certain purposes, such as electrical lines or water mains.
The exterior face of a home or a drawing depicting the exterior view.
The difference between a home's value and the mortgage amount owed on the home.
|Fannie Mae
One of two federal agencies that purchase home loans from lenders (the other being Freddie Mac). Both agencies finance their purchases primarily by packaging mortgages into pools, then issuing securities against the pools. The securities are guaranteed by the agencies. They also raise funds by selling notes and other liabilities.
|FHA Loan
A mortgage insured by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) which offers low down payment mortgages to buyers (terms vary county by county).
|Fixed-Rate Mortgage
A mortgage in which the interest rate (and therefore the monthly payment) remains the same for the entire life of the loan. Thirty-year and 15-year fixed-rate mortgages are industry standards. Many home buyers prefer a fixed-rate loan because the principal and interest payment amount never changes.
|Floor Plan
An architectural drawing showing the overall layout of a home.
The construction of the skeleton structure, or framework, of a house.
|Freddie Mac
One of two federal agencies that purchase home loans from lenders (the other being Fannie Mae). Both agencies finance their purchases primarily by packaging mortgages into pools, then issuing securities against the pools. The securities are guaranteed by the agencies. They also raise funds by selling notes and other liabilities.
To provide funds for the payment of interest principal or debt or the source or supply of funds, generally used for a specific purpose or project.
|Hazard Insurance
An insurance policy that protects the property against damage caused by fire, wind, or some other hazards. In the case of an attached condominium, the Homeowners' Association will include hazard insurance on the structure and the homeowner should obtain separate insurance coverage for the contents of the home. In the case of a detached (i.e. single-family) home, the buyer will be required to show proof of hazard insurance prior to the close of escrow.
|Homeowners' Association (HOA)
The Homeowners' Association is responsible for enforcing the Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions and rules of the community, and also for the maintenance and upkeep of any common areas such as parks and landscaping. A fee is paid by all homeowners in the community to pay for the activities of the HOA. This fee varies from community to community, depending on whether the community consists of single-family homes or attached condominiums and the extent of the community's common areas.
|Impound Account
Depending on the type of the loan, some lenders increase the size of the monthly payment to cover important bills such as property taxes and insurance. When the taxes or insurance premiums are due, the lender automatically pays the bill from the buyer's account.
The amount is added onto your loan (in dollars) to cover the cost of borrowing money to finance your home. The "interest payment" is the portion of your monthly payment applied against the interest owed. At the beginning of your loan period, the majority of your monthly payment is applied against the interest. But over time, more and more of the payment is used to reduce the amount of principal owed. (For most people, a portion of their annual mortgage interest payment is tax-deductible. Consult your tax advisor for details.)
|Interest Rate
The cost of borrowing, expressed as an annual percentage of the principal. Many factors influence the interest rate you will be charged, including the overall state of the economy, the lender's costs, etc.
|Loan Application
An application by an individual or group of individuals to borrow money.
|Loan Estimate (LE)
Provides a summary of the key loan terms and costs. The form shows the basic loan terms (e.g., the principal and interest payment and loan costs) and figures that provide borrowers with affordability information (e.g., the total estimated monthly payment and estimated cash required to close).
|Loan-to-Value (LTV) Ratio
The ratio of the amount of money owed on a home to the home's value. The difference between these two figures initially is the down payment.
A loan for the purchase of a home. Mortgages are available from banks, savings & loans, credit unions, mortgage companies, etc.
|Mortgage Interest Deduction
The ability of mortgage borrowers to deduct interest paid on a home loan for purposes of income taxes. Consult your tax advisor for details.
|Mortgage Payment
The total amount of your monthly mortgage payment. Principal and Interest (P&I) are due on every loan. Taxes and insurance (T&I) are also included if the lender requires an impound account.
|New Home Orientation Tour or "Buyers Walk-Through"
A pre-planned meeting, lasting approximately 2 to 4 hours, scheduled to take place upon construction completion where the purchaser(s) meets their warranty service representative and walks through their new home. The purpose is to orient the buyer to his or her new home, show how to operate all appliances and provide information about the home warranty.
|Non-Conforming Loans
A mortgage that does not meet the purchase requirements of the two Federal agencies, Fannie Mae, and Freddie Mac, because it is too large or for other reasons such as poor credit or inadequate documentation.
An item in a home that is not a standard feature.
|PITI (Principal, Interest, Taxes & Insurance)
The total amount of your monthly mortgage payment. Principal and Interest (P&I) are due on every loan. Taxes and Insurance (T&I) may also be included if the lender requires an escrow account.
Also known as discount points, a fee charged by the lender to fund a loan, in addition to and separate from other fees charged. One point equals 1% of the amount of the loan. Discount points are charged or are received based on the note rate the borrower selects.
|Pre- Qualification
The process of reviewing a prospective borrower's credit and payment capacity prior to approving a loan.
The amount of your loan (in dollars), excluding interest. The "principal payment" is the portion of your monthly payment applied against the principal. In the first several years of your loan, only a small amount of the payment is applied to the principal due to interest charged. As time goes on, more and more of the payment is used to reduce the amount of principal owed.
|Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI)
A type of insurance that protects the lender in case the borrower defaults on the home loan. This is paid monthly by the home buyer, as a part of the monthly mortgage payment. PMI is usually required by lenders if the borrower makes less than a 20% down payment.
|Property Management Company
A company devoted to the leasing, managing, marketing, and overall maintenance of the property of others. The property management company performs three basic functions.
o Fiscal Management – of financial affairs
o Physical Management – of structure and grounds
o Administrative Management – of files and records
|Punch List
A written list created during the New Home Orientation Tour of any items that do not meet the Warranty Performance Standards, as described in the Welcome Home Manual.
|Purchase & Sales Agreement
A written document in which the purchaser agrees to buy and the seller agrees to sell certain real estate under stated terms and conditions. Also called a sales contract, earnest money agreement, or agreement for sale.
|Standard Features
Items that are automatically included when you purchase your new home.
|Temporary Buy-Down
A payment to the lender from the seller, buyer, third party, or some combination of these, causing the lender to reduce the interest rate during the early years of a loan. This results in lower mortgage payments during the buy-down period. A temporary buy-down usually affects the first 1 to 5 years of the loan.
A legal document establishing the right of ownership of property.
|Title Company
A firm that ensures the title, or actual legal document of ownership, on a property is clear and that provides title insurance.
|Title Insurance-Owners Title Insurance-Lenders
Insurance to protect the buyer and lender against losses arising from disputes over the ownership of a property.
TRID is an acronym for the TILA-RESPA Integrated Disclosure rule. Any loan applications taken on or after October 3rd, 2015 fall under TRID, and therefore require new documents including the Loan Estimate (LE) and the Closing Disclosure (CD). The purpose of TRID is to improve the mortgage loan settlement process for consumers.
The process of evaluating a loan application to determine whether it meets the lender's standards.
An option for a buyer to select, at an additional cost, features other than the standard features available. May include such items as hardwood flooring, carpets, carpet pads, or vinyl flooring.
|VA Loan
Loans that are backed by the Veterans Administration (VA) and that offer several benefits to buyers. VA loans are available to active members of the armed forces, as well as to veterans and widows of veterans.
Verification of Deposit (Form 1006) Form used to verify the cash deposits the applicant listed on the loan application.
Verification of employment.
|Warranty Deed
The warranty deed (also known in California as a grant deed) is a form of insurance for the buyer. In effect, this type of deed guarantees that the property he or she is buying belongs to the seller free and clear and is not the subject of any claims by third parties. If a claim is presented to the buyer after the transaction is closed, the seller who has issued the warranty deed is legally responsible for compensating the buyer for any damages or collection actions.

Saint Blaise
- Biagio
- Blase
- Blasius
Physician. Bishop of Sebaste, Armenia. Lived in a cave on Mount Argeus. Healer of men and animals; according to legend, sick animals would come to him on their own for help, but would never disturb him at prayer.
Agricola, governor of Cappadocia, came to Sebaste to persecute Christians. His huntsmen went into the forests of Argeus to find wild animals for the arena games, and found many waiting outside Blaise's cave. Discovered in prayer, Blaise was arrested, and Agricola tried to get him to recant his faith. While in prison, Blaise ministered to and healed fellow prisoners, including saving a child who was choking on a fish bone; this led to the blessing of throats on Blaise's feast day.
Thrown into a lake to drown, Blaise stood on the surface and invited his persecutors to walk out and prove the power of their gods; they drowned. When he returned to land, he was martyred by being beaten, his flesh torn with wool combs (which led to his association with and patronage of those involved in the wool trade), and then beheading.
Blaise has been extremely popular for centuries in both the Eastern and Western Churches. In 1222 the Council of Oxford prohibited servile labour in England on his feast. He is one of the Fourteen Holy Helpers

Chelsea will wear a fluorescent yellow third shirt during the 2010-11 season, according to a leaked photo.
Designed and manufactured by Adidas, the shirt features black trim and a very unique black line that runs down the center of the new Chelsea third jersey. The last time Chelsea wore a fluorescent shirt was during the 2007-2008 season when it was also bright yellow but featured a different trim from Adidas.
The black line down the center of the new Chelsea third shirt looks like a compromise to try to break up the fluorescent yellow color so it's not quite so alarming.
What do you think of fluorescent jerseys, in general, and what do you think of Chelsea's third shirt for this season? Click the comments link below to share your opinion.

Pain from Isla Vista attack extends to Bay Area
Injured student from Alamo recalls Isla Vista mayhem
For the victims of Friday's bloody rampage through the college town of Isla Vista, it started as a night like any other.
A couple of guys were visiting friends and heading down the street with burritos. Roommates were spending a typical night at home, waiting for the weekend. Sorority sisters were preparing for an evening of fun.
None of them had any idea of the macabre roles they were about to play in Elliot Rodger's deranged plan for a Day of Retribution for all the slights he thought he'd suffered in a life of loneliness and rejection.
By the time Rodger was done with his frantic attacks, he had killed six people and himself, and left 13 others injured. The victims were mostly students at nearby UC Santa Barbara and hailed from all over the state, with at least five from the Bay Area. And as the survivors and families of the dead struggled to make sense of the reasoning the 22-year-old Rodger laid out in the 137-page manifesto he sent to his therapist to explain the massacre's motivations, many drew the same conclusion:
There was no sense to be made of it. Just horror and sadness.
"There isn't any justification for what he did, nothing," Nick Pasichuke of Alamo, whose legs were both broken when Rodger hit him with his black BMW, said Monday from his hospital bed in Santa Barbara. "I see this as something that happened, should be left in the back of people's minds and moved on from.
"When you get all caught up in events like this, keep talking and thinking about the instigator who ran over and shot everyone - that's where he succeeds in what he wanted to do, where he gets away with his intentions. And none of what he did makes any sense."
'It's a blur,' victim says
Pasichuke, a graduate of San Ramon Valley High School, is a freshman at the University of the Pacific in Stockton. He was in Isla Vista on Friday night to visit his best friend and fellow water polo player, UC Santa Barbara student Tyler Martin.
Martin's roommate, Patrick Eggert of San Rafael, was headed back to his apartment with Pasichuke after grabbing burritos from Freebirds World Burrito when Rodger's car suddenly raced up, Pasichuke said.
"It's a blur," he said. "My friend (Eggert) was on his bicycle and I had my longboard (skateboard), and then I was hit out of nowhere. Next thing I knew I was lying in the street. It threw me 50 feet down the road."
Pasichuke's right leg was shattered, and the left suffered a clean break, he said. He also had facial fractures and scarring on much of his body. Eggert was bruised and his leg was injured, but he was able to walk after being hit, his friend said.
"Nick's an athlete, so he's got a strong upper body; I think that helped him come through it," said his mother, Jill Pasichuke, who was at the hospital with her son. "I'm just happy I have a kid to take home."
In Rodger's manifesto, titled "My Twisted World," he complained that women had never been interested in him, and he vowed to take revenge on "all women and the men they are attracted to." He reiterated his rage in a series of videos posted online before the massacre. And when he set about his bloody mission of stabbing, shooting and careening through the streets with his car, among his first victims were two women walking near what he called "the hottest sorority of UCSB."
Before gunning down the women - who turned out to be from Delta Delta Delta, a different sorority from the one he targeted - he began the killing spree at his own apartment, stabbing to death his two roommates and a third man, all UC Santa Barbara students who came from the Bay Area. The roommates were Cheng Yuan Hong, 20, and George Chen, 19, both of San Jose, and their visitor, Weihan Wang, 20, of Fremont.
Their deaths were plotted out in the manifesto, too.
Rodger wrote that he planned to turn his apartment into "my personal torture and killing chamber," luring people there so he could "knock them out with a hammer and slit their throats. I will torture some of the good-looking people before I kill them, assuming that the good-looking ones had the best sex lives."
Accusations of theft
But first, he wrote, "I would have to kill my housemates and get them out of the way." He called Hong and Chen "the biggest nerds I have ever seen, and they were both very ugly with annoying voices ... utterly repulsive." His hatred of them boiled over in January when he accused Hong of stealing candles worth $22 and made a citizen's arrest of him for it.
Among the items removed from Rodger's apartment by investigators Saturday was an evidence bag marked, "two machetes, one knife, one hammer."
Hong, a computer science major who grew up in Taipei, graduated from Lynbrook High School in San Jose in 2012 and taught Chinese at a Cupertino school in his spare time, according to news reports. He was an avid table tennis player, according to his Facebook page.
Chen, another computer science major, had a special fondness for working with children and was a gentle man, friends said. They found it hard to fathom why anyone would harbor ill will against him.
"He was a very good kid, very smart," Sherry Shih of San Jose, a family friend, said Monday. "His parents are in a very, very sad mood right now and are not able to speak to anyone. This is just terrible, and they cannot understand at all how something like this could happen."
The family lived on the quiet, residential street in San Jose for years, neighbors said. They also described Chen as a "good kid," one who stayed out of trouble.
"It's pretty tragic," said one neighbor, 48-year-old Krish Garimella. "He was a quiet kid. We'd see him biking around, taking his younger brother with him. They were nice neighbors."
Jorim Huang, 17, said he and Chen attended the same church when they were younger. "I've always known him to be a person that was always nice," he said.
On Monday, Jorim sat with two classmates at the back of Leland High School in San Jose - which Chen graduated from in 2012 - spending the holiday working on an advanced placement science project. The three said they found it eerie that they are at the same point in their lives that Chen was just a few years earlier, with the future sprawling in front of them.
"It feels sad that somebody who graduated from this school and put in all the hard work to get into and stay at a good school can have that all taken away," said junior Henderson Hsu, 16.
"You could just see that he had a lot to look forward to in the future," Jorim added sadly.
Trying to stay focused
Wang, also a computer science major, graduated from Fremont Christian School. His family, like those of his friends, reportedly flew to Santa Barbara to make funeral arrangements, acquaintances said.
"We're extremely rattled here," Patrick Kulp, 21, of Livermore - a political science major at UC Santa Barbara who helped coordinate the college paper's coverage of the attack Friday night - said Monday. "Friday was complete chaos, and now I graduate in three weeks. It's going to be tough to stay focused - and tougher for the other people who are even more closely connected to the victims."
Memorial service
UC Santa Barbara is hosting a memorial service for the victims at Harder Stadium at 4 p.m. Tuesday. School officials will also stream a live webcast of the memorial at http://gauchocast.ucsb.edu/events/livehd.

"udev is the device manager for the Linux 2.6 kernel series. Primarily, it manages device nodes in Template:Filename. It is the successor of devfs and hotplug, which means that it handles the Template:Filename directory and all user space actions when adding/removing devices, including firmware load." Source: Wikipedia
udev replaces the functionality of both Template:Codeline and Template:Codeline.
udev loads kernel modules simultaneously, which can provide a speed increase during bootup. However, the downside is that it doesn't always load modules in the same order each time, which can cause problems with things like sound cards and network cards (if you have more than one of them). See below for more info on this.
About modules auto-loading
udev will not do any module loading for you unless Template:Codeline is enabled in Template:Filename. If you disable auto-loading you must manually load the modules you want/need by putting the list in the Template:Codeline array in Template:Filename, you can generate this list with the Template:Codeline command.
About udev rules
udev rules go in Template:Filename, their file name has to end with Template:Filename.
If you want to learn how to write udev rules see Writing udev rules.
To get a list of all the attributes of a device you can use to write rules:
# udevadm info -a -p $(udevadm info -q path -n [device name])
Replace [device name] with the device present in the system, such as '/dev/sda' or '/dev/ttyUSB0'.
To restart the udev system once you create or modify udev rules, run the following command. Hotpluggable devices, such as USB devices, will probably have to be reconnected for the new rules to take effect.
# udevadm control restart
Tips & Tricks
Auto mounting USB devices
Mount under Template:Filename; use partition label if present
The following udev rule set automatically mounts devices/partitions that are represented by /dev/sd* (USB drives, external hard drives and sometimes SD cards). If a partition label is available, it mounts the device to /media/<label> and otherwise to /media/usbhd-sd* (ex: /media/usbhd-sdb1): Template:File
Mount under Template:Filename; use partition label if present; support LUKS encryption
Similar to the above rule set, but if the device is a LUKS-encrypted partition it will open an xterm window to ask for the passphrase (provided that xterm is installed). Also see this post and the follow-ups.
Mount under Template:Filename; use partition label if present; support user un-mounting
This is a variation on the above rule set. It uses pmount (which will need to be installed) instead of mount, allowing a non-root user to unmount udev-mounted devices. The required username must be hard-coded in the RUN command, so this rule set may not be suitable for multi-user systems. LUKS support has also been removed from the example, but can be easily reinstated as above. Template:File
Mount under Template:Filename; create symbolic link under Template:Filename
The following rule set does not make use of partition labels; instead it mounts devices as usbhd-sdXY under the /mnt directory (ex: /mnt/usbhd-sdb1) and creates a symbolic link under /media. Template:File
Mount under Template:Filename only if the partition has a label
Mount under Template:Filename; use partition label if present; ntfs-3g
Yet another example, this time making use of ntfs-3g read/write drivers for NTFS filesystems:
Mount SD cards
The same rules as above can be used to auto-mount SD cards, you just need to replace Template:Codeline by Template:Codeline: Template:File
Mount CDs
Accessing Firmware Programmers and USB Virtual Comm Devices
The following ruleset will allow normal users (within the "users" group) the ability to access the USBtinyISP USB programmer for AVR microcontrollers and a generic (SiLabs CP2102) USB to UART adapter. Adjust the permissions accordingly. Verified as of 2010-02-11.
Disabling modules auto-loading with the load_modules boot parameter
If you pass Template:Codeline on your kernel boot line, then udev will skip all the auto-loading business. This is to provide you with a big ripcord to pull if something goes wrong. If udev loads a problematic module that hangs your system or something equally awful, then you can bypass auto-loading with this parameter, then go in and blacklist the offensive module(s).
Blacklisting Modules
In rare cases, Udev can make mistakes and load the wrong modules. To prevent it from doing this, you can blacklist modules. Once blacklisted, udev will never load that module. Not at boot-time or later on when a hotplug event is received (eg, you plug in your USB flash drive).
To blacklist a module, just prefix it with a bang (!) in your Template:Codeline array in Template:Filename:
MODULES=(!moduleA !moduleB)
Known Problems with Hardware
BusLogic devices can be broken and will cause a freeze during startup
This is a kernel bug and no fix has been provided yet.
PCMCIA Card readers are not treated as removable devices
To get access to them with hal's pmount backend add them to Template:Filename
Known Problems with Auto-Loading
CPU frequency modules
The current detection method for the various CPU frequency controllers is inadequate, so this has been omitted from the auto-loading process for the time being. To use CPU frequency scaling, load the proper module explicitly in your Template:Codeline array in Template:Filename.
Sound Problems or Some Modules Not Loaded Automatically
Some users have traced this problem to old entries in Template:Codeline. Try cleaning that file out and trying again.
Mixed Up Devices, Sound/Network Cards Changing Order Each Boot
Because udev loads all modules asynchronously, they are initialized in a different order. This can result in devices randomly switching names. For example, with two network cards, you may notice a switching of designations between Template:Codeline and Template:Codeline.
Arch Linux provides the advantage of specifying the module load order by listing the modules in the Template:Codeline array in Template:Filename. Modules in this array are loaded before udev begins auto-loading, so you have full control over the load order.
# Always load 8139too before e100 MODULES=(8139too e100)
Another method for network card ordering is to use the udev-sanctioned method of statically-naming each interface. Create the following file to bind the MAC address of each of your cards to a certain interface name: Template:File
A couple things to note:
- To get the MAC address of each card, use this command: Template:Codeline
- Make sure to use the lower-case hex values in your udev rules. It doesn't like upper-case.
- Some people have problems naming their interfaces after the old style: eth0, eth1, etc. Try something like "lan" or "wlan" if you experience this problem.
Don't forget to update your Template:Filename and other configuration files using the old ethX notation!
Another method for setting network interface names is described in the Configuring Network wiki entry. http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Configuring_Network
Known Problems for Custom Kernel Users
Udev doesn't start at all
Make sure you have a kernel version later than or equal to 2.6.15. Earlier kernels do not have the necessary uevent stuff that udev needs for auto-loading.
CD/DVD symlinks and permissions are broken
If you're using a 2.6.15 kernel, you'll need the uevent patch from ABS (which backports certain uevent functionality from 2.6.16). Just sync up your ABS tree with the Template:Codeline command, then you'll find the patch in Template:Codeline.
