rejection reasons
Halitosis, said quietly under my breath
I understand your frustration because this situation is akin to being in a relationship and getting dumped with no explanation as to why. What's worse is that the "it's me not you" doesn't apply here. It's more of a "it's you." Short answer - for one reason or another, they didn't think you were a good fit for the building and they will not budge on this denial. You can either spend all your energy trying to convince them only for them to deny you again or simply say thank you and move on. It truly is a blessing in disguise because their answer is always final. You could have spent hours upon hours filling paperwork to only come to that same result. So, in a sense, you are lucky as Flutistic suggested.
Boards can only get themselves in trouble by providing a reason as it opens them up for discrimination. So legally, the less they say, the better. Natural reaction is to think about what you did wrong or what you can change for the next board application (or relationship). If you speak with a seasoned broker, he can fill you in on some of the most common board rejection reasons such as co-purchasing, pied-a-terre usage, etc. Good luck on the next one!
Was it a small co-op? In my small co-op, where we all know each other, sellers have "floated" offers to the board, usually before accepting them. Most of our policies boil down to "case by case basis." We have allowed pieds-a-terre, gifting, parents buying for children, dogs, ARM or interest-only loans, etc., but we are uncomfortable with a blanket yes policy on these things because we don't the building overrun with them.
There was one case where sellers had an offer from a parent buying for child, who had a large dog, and who intended to finance via a nontraditional loan. We told the sellers off the record that we had some concerns, and they ended up accepting a different offer from an easy to approve buyer. Nothing about the offer we didn't like violated "policy," and we may have approved the applicant had it gone to board interview stage. It was just a risky combination of things, and we didn't want the sellers to be off the market for 4-6 weeks just to end up with a rejected offer, especially since they were relocating due to impending family expansion.
Think of it this way -- the board is doing the seller a favor by rejecting as soon as they have information (presumably reliable information) that would eventually cause them to reject. The favor is that the seller, although disappointed, can move on to another buyer sooner rather than later. Totally understand it may feel more like a premature rejection in the moment, though.
In this case was something around "circumstances" such as co-signing, co-purchasing, or guarantors. But wouldn't the seller know up front what was acceptable and what wasn't and only go into contract with a buyers situation that had a chance to get thru. Or if the board saw a no-go situation coming, wouldn't they likely just remind people what is acceptable and what isn't and give the buyers a chance to change gears and submit an application that was potentially acceptable? Just seems a weird point in process, before the application is finalized and submitted to reject it. Seems pointless.. Either wait and see what something looks like on paper when submitted, or remind seller what is acceptable and let them work with buyer to adjust & submit, or break things off. But rejecting something you haven't received seems extremely unusual and unnecessary to me..
Neighbor has Cat in No Pet Coop
Oh dear..........what a tough situation.
I was kvetching about my apartment on this board a few months back, and somebody on the board wrote: you should just move.
So I pass that advice along to you. We moved out in mid Sept and are enjoying the peace and the quiet in the new place.
My main problem is the noise. That the cat runs around (and the tenant as well) at 2 or 3 am when I'm trying to sleep. Or that things are being dropped overhead and I can't get a good night's sleep. The lady upstairs apparently is retired and never leaves the apartment. Our building has bad acoustics between floors so you can hear everything from one floor to the next. I had her stomp around one time when I had a cold and was coughing so it goes both ways. I talked to the super when I first moved in about her stomping and he claimed she had rugs everywhere. They really don't seem to be helping much. I've heard this cat for about 2 years ever since I've moved in so I'm pretty sure it's here to stay and that the neighbor is entitled enough to feel that she can let it run loose. Maybe I will talk to her or the super tomorrow about the noise and if it continues I will write a letter to the president of the coop board.
In my building, we're allowed 2 pets, cats or dogs. We have one neighbor whose red tiger cat seemed to get out in the hallway all the time. Someone from the building staff went into the apartment and discovered that there were actually NINE red tiger cats there. They were so much alike that you couldn't tell them apart. That's one way to beat the pet rules!!!!! You couldn't tell that she had so many cats - no odors, no noise.
You refer to the neighbor above as "tenant". Could it be possible that this person has a "grandfathered in" pet for a tenant that was allowed pets when they moved. If that is the case, forget the cat and speak to your neighbor about the disturbance and if that does not work, then talk to the board. Cover yourself so that you do not come off as a mal content which I don't feel that you are.
Possibly one of the larger size glue traps might work in this situation.

Old sponsor & Board control
We live in a small condo (11 units commercial ground floor), converted more than 20 years ago, where the sponsor has retained several of the units the commercial space. As a result, he has 55% of the votes and still controls the Board by appointing non-owner individuals that respond to him (4 out of 7 Board members). Is that allowed? Isn't there a requirement in NYC that the sponsor relinquish Board control within 5 years of conversion, regardless of its share in the condo?
board application denied - low sale price
Their's a limit to how low a seller can unload their apartment
Wanderer: Useful info, and well worth the time to read. Thanks!
here you go, might not be the latest info but it gives you a good idea of what the board can do.
The board may reject the proposed sale, as it diminishes the value of all the apartments in the building (or, more accurately, the values of shares in the corporation). Your contract contains a statement that the contract between you and the seller is contingent upon the board's approval of you and the contract terms, so yes, the co-op can keep the contract from being completed (if the contract doesn't, you need a better lawyer). If your application has been denied, it is unlikely they're going to invite you for an interview. Your broker should speak with the sellers broker who can maybe suss it out with the seller and the board to ensure that the board isn't mis-reading the sellers concession as a reduction in the price per share. If the board is holding to a particular price per share, you can either pay up, or walk.
Separately, why on earth would you not have market comps in front of you when you made your offer?
Not an expert at all but weren't boards left and right rejecting sales prices that were too low during the credit recession of 2008-2009?
How do you handle a lazy condo board?
It's important to have a Board with high standards .
I would submit that a "strict" board is good , even when sellers complain that they can't sell ( they were happy buying with the same standards though)
Move. Good time to sell, rent a while and do more research before buying again. Worked fine for us.
Why don't you join the board and convince some like minded people to join you. Effect change from within.
I would sell right now after 1 year here, except spouse won't agree (commute's too good/hates to move). But I'm sure either the board will change or we will be gone in a few years.
Looking back, pre purchase, the only clues were: building not clean relative to its price point ($950 square foot low floor currently); numerous small neglected jobs around the building (leaking outdoor faucet pulled out of wall, failure to keep things painted, smelly trash area with houseflies); board involved in a stupid lawsuit.
Good question. Given all the seemingly endless problems where I live now?.....yes, the strict, slightly crazy UES co-op was better than this.
Short-term leasing & mandatory guest registration
Then there're lots of small-time developers out in Brooklyn who built would-be condos during the last boom, got 421a, got caught in the bust and rented them out instead, but neglected to tell tenants they were RS: http://nyti.ms/1PxsHw7
These are cases where someone takes advantage of the middle class , due to shortsighted policies
CIpriani guy, Peter Cooper Village lady, all unfairly benefitting at cost to other taxpayers.
The Cipriani guy's apartment being RS is a great example of the magic of 421-a.
The rental unit there at 450 W 42nd gets a 20-year tax abatement. This year Related is paying $273,000 rather than $5,500,000. In return, the apartments have to be rent-stabilized. What's great for Related is, the base rents
started so high, so they get the benefit of no taxes while not taking a hit on income. The tenants do get the benefit of guaranteed lease renewals, so it's not entirely one-sided.
I lost count of the Cipriani guy's cases. Lots, NYS and federal.
NYS does have a 50-hour pro-bono requirement for admittance to the bar. Then your biannual fees go to indigent legal services.
A lot of lawyers do pro-bono work, but there's no requirement. A big firm's website will list what they're involved in.
If you're a lawyer at a storefront in Ridgewood, reduced to representing notoriety-seeking comedians, pro-bono might not be high on your due-to-society list.
How long can a coop board look at financials?
Escrow is the answer
There is a way to find out ahead of time if the co-op board will require the purchaser to hold the $$$ in escrow or just show it on financial statements by checking with the management company. Just because the board has this policy in place - it does not automatically make them fussy.
is the $50,000 in United States Dollars, or in some strange foreign currency http://streeteasy.com/talk/discussion/33006-f-coops

Do all Condo Boards have managing agents?
jelj13 ... what does your comment have to do with this thread ?
I lived in a newly constructed condo with the latest and greatest state of the art roof. It failed throughout the city wherever this style roof was installed, even in a building across the street built by a different developer. We had 3 new roofs within 15 years until we finally found the proper replacement. The first roof was a replacement from the manufacturer. The second was a re-do of the replacement along with parapet work. The third was a totally redesigned roof that finally worked! We had 3 different managing agents during that time frame.
I leave live at M at beekman the Board and Grogan management are fixing the roof again the building as we now know is only 7 years old I have an novel idea do the right once instead of patch and hide more cost effective less water damage to rest of the building in my opinion the present board M at Beekman and Grogan management are killing this building .From my experience the truth comes out any covert or illegal activity are punished one man or woman stands for principle in time others will join the founding fathers and brunch of farmers beat at the British who were the world super power at the time
Co-op Tax Abatement Disappeared
Hello, I have owned my co-op since July 2012. I received a tax abatement in 2013 and 2014, but did not receive one this year in 2015. I thought this was odd and questioned my management right away since I was charged an assessment. Per the management, the Department of Finance deemed my unit as not my primary residence. I explained that it has been my primary residence for the past 3 years and nothing has changed. I contacted the DoF, their response was "Your managing agent submitted a 2012/13 cooperative property tax abatement change indicating this unit was not your primary residence. As a result the unit received a phased out coop abatement. The abatement was then dropped for 2014/15."
My question is, should i be going after my management because they gave the DoF incorrect information? Or can I request a correction from the DoF? My Board of Directors are very questionable individuals, they have changed the management companies 3 times within 2 years and refuse to provide audited financials. If the management companies are the cause of me not getting my tax abatement, I want to make sure to catch them.
CONDO sales package validity?
why does it say cooperative, when this is a condo?
Are you concerned about the board infringing the seller's ability to transfer the property, e.g. adding conditions that are not contemplated by the bylaws?
Or is the worry that this sounds like an awfully broad release that buyers may experience, or the board may employ, as a shield for illegal discrimination?
My Condo Sales Package includes an applicant's release form to "the Board of Directors of the Cooperative Corporation" that he/she can be disapprove by the Board of Directors with their sole discretion without reason being given. No such clause exists in the By-laws.
Is this legal?
Identity Theft...
London Babe, what neighborhood is this in?
Babe, first of all this sounds like a CO-OP and not a CONDO. When you buy a co-op you are a renter with equity interest in your landlord's company. You pay monthly rent (called maintenance). You get a lease, and you get a stock certificate with the corporation. If you want to buy an apartment, you need to buy a condo. Otherwise you are buying stock and lease.
That said, if this really is an identity theft case, you have a police report plus you have filed with the FTC. You (or she) has contacted all three credit reporting bureaus and there is a note on your credit reports clarifying same.
The idea that you think this is a secret suggests you either haven't followed the process because the perps are relatives, or you are just not paying attention to what you need to do.
If you or wife are protecting relatives who committed crime against you, it depends on the co-op of course but why would a well managed co-op want to take a chance on you, in this hot market, I can't imagine.
Here's a question and I hope you can help: I am trying to apply for a condo but unfortunately, my wife has been the victim of identity theft. Her son and daughter in law purchased properties worth well over one million dollars. Needless to say, it's ruined her credit. This is an ongoing case as well, about 10 years in the making with the authorities involved.
I know that both my and my wife's credit will be checked, as this is nothing that we can keep a secret anyway, from them. I'd like to include this on a cover letter when handing in our co-op package/forms so that they will be informed well in advanced and not be surprised. My question, finally is how or what should I put on paper? Thanks for all input!
How to delete a saved listing

I saved a building in a folder, but on learning more about it, no longer want to keep it. Cannot figure out how to delete the saved building from my folder. Please help.
Why 420 east 51 street coop board reject most buys
what kind of questions are on a co-op app?
misappropriation of condo maintenance money
NWT posted a URL to the original scandal in 1994. One of the firms mentioned in the article was back to their old tricks again in the early 2000's in the building I mentioned. It was the firm from which my acquaintance resigned.
There was a scandal with several managing agent firms about 15 to 20 years ago about condo AND co-op funds being misappropriated. This was published in several newspapers and the firms were deemed guilty in the courts. My condo changed firms and thought they were free and clear. Apparently, a long term president of the condo moved and everything started up again. The new president started to receive notices from Con Ed and other vendors about service being turned off or suspended due to non-payments for over 6 months. At the same time, the account balances showed ample funds to pay bills. What happened?
The managing agent was playing games and getting kick backs. The money was being used to cover bills for OTHER condos/coops where the sponsor gave the managing agent kick backs. They were crediting the sponsor's apartments in the other buildings with maintenance payments not made while the sponsor collected rents. The managing agent received a cut of the extra profit the sponsor made. At the same time, double ledgers were being kept to cover the issue with affected buildings. Fortunately, there was a show down with the owner of the management company; our sponsor supported the condo with his lawyers since he was not involved with the kickbacks. The firm had to provide more frequent updates on the payments and balances in the accounts.
I subsequently met someone who worked for that management firm and quit over this practice. That person confirmed that this was being done on a regular basis.
FC - What I was able to gather from previous years of SE postings by and about Truth before her account was deleted is that she actually sued either the board or the sponsor of a building in which she lived. I actually have always wondered about the identity of that building as well because I wanted to learn more about that particular lawsuit and how it turned out.
I own in a building in San Francisco that came online in 2007. One of the other owners is trying to get a coalition together to sue the sponsor because the sponsor still owns a considerable percentage of the building with no intention to sell. I have declined to participate in the proposed lawsuit because I feel that all of the risks that have materialized in that building were disclosed in the offering plan. I also have no issue with the way the condo board is running the building because the level of transparency is high and it all makes perfect sense to me. We are also pleased with the way the board of the building into which we bought in New York runs the building. As with the SF purchase, we did extensive due diligence prior to buying. I do not know the identity of the building into which this OP bought, but I am curious as to how this situation turned out. In our SF building, I know some owners have sold at a significant loss. It sounds like some owners in the building above decided to simply sell, and I would be curious to know if they sold at a profit or at a loss. One of the things that continues to fascinate me about New York real estate is/are the high price points at which new condo developments are selling. Most if not all of the people that I know in New York (small sample size) lives in coops; who is buying into all of these new condo developments?
Turn around time to see a co-op board?
Well, look at me and my crappy manners! Hello again, folks - in case you're wondering where I disappeared to, I was very busy after my last post - BECAUSE THE BOARD ACCEPTED ME!!! I interviewed with them in mid July, went to closing in early August, and moved into my dream apartment on Labor Day Weekend. And of course, between painting, redecorating, work, and then the holidays, updating my good news here just blew right through my mind. Very sorry to have not updated sooner, but it's been a very busy, but wonderful, handful of months.
And I sincerely meant what I said - I am never moving again, LOL! First of all, this place is so fabulous, there's no need to even consider moving. Which is really lucky for me, because I'm staying put!
Thank you all again for your help back when I asked for it - it really did help put things into perspective for me during the whole waiting game.
two months is the typical time. you will not know in advance
There is no standard behavior for all boards.
On my closing, I went to contract @ 1st week of January
Submitted my board package @ 1st week of february.
Was interviewed by the 1st week of march and closed around the 3rd week.
I could have probably submitted my board package faster but I committed to my rental through april anticipating it would take 90 days for any emergencies. Once things looked smooth I actually slow played it and ended up with only a week of an empty rental apt.
I would be sitting on your broker.
I shouldnt judge your broker based on him/her not assembling/making copies of your board package, but if your broker is not from a boutique agency counting all it's pencils and staples, Im guessing they are not a good one.
A buyer's broker should be proactive on the package, it's the major part of the real work they'll do for the transaction.
Once on a unit I almost bought with a crappy broker, I went to an open house of another unit they were hosting.
When they saw I was still looking at other apts, that lit the fire under their azz.
(My board def goes darker in summer, we have foregone July and August meetings. But we are a small co-op)
Just wanted to comment that I have never heard of a buyer's broker not assembling or at least substantially assisting his/her client with the Board Package. Crazy. Keeping my fingers crossed for you! Keep us updated!
Buying Coop for Mother
Forest Hills, Rego Park, Briarwood in Queens. treelinetoskyline.com
^^ although now I read your post -- she's leaving WaHi -- would Riverdale or Inwood really be better?
Bick, that's exactly right. It will be easier for you if you're moving your mother closer to you, and can make that statement to the board, but this is not an unusual narrative at all.
I'm sorry that this went, because it sounds like it have worked nicely for you: http://streeteasy.com/building/870-west-181-street-new_york/28
Off the top of my head, don't know anyone who has the bandwidth to do both upper Manh and Queens, but I'll give it a think.
With these specs your mother might be able to qualify on her own depending on her post close liquidity. She also might be a good candidate for HDFC buildings if she has little to no income for the past couple of years and can purchase in cash.
Thanks Jason. 1BR, price point is under $250K, need maintenance that is $800 or lower. Definitely looking upper Manhattan, Riverdale, and Queens. Also pet friendly hopefully. A big ask I know. If anyone has a good broker to refer for this kind of thing please post.
Co-op Application Process
FYI: The PDF is for the listing agent/broker to review. The managing agent receives copies or what ever format they request. I hear you on the electronic portal, sort of cumbersome uploading all the documents. We wind up spending a lot of time with the buyers, sellers and other agent (if they have not done it before). If the docs are not entered correctly it wont allow you to continue. If the seller has not entered their information correctly it prevents us from entering ours. Far from perfect.
Keith Burkhardt
let's see, RED -- I had a client who had recently retired, so in the application, in addition to providing historical financials, and supplementing documentation for those, we provided a pro forma financial for what retirement income would look like, and supplementary documentation for that. I had another client who had a reference letter that was provided on letterhead from a referrer who had since changed her phone number, so I had to annotate that. I had another time where the Aztechs had to get reprocessed since the middle name of the purchaser had been omitted, and the legal name didn't match the driver's license. I represented a landlord who used his co-op sublet application, but we swapped out the boilerplate lease offered by the co-op for our own lease, and then both sides kept adding riders at the last minute.
Those are all examples I can think of from the past couple of months. None of these were $5 million deals, just everyday business in neighborhoods from Chelsea to Midtown to Hudson Heights, but each one needed that little bit of customization to get across the finish line.
Thanks for all of the comments. In regards to substituting documents, where (which sections/types of documents) do you generally see this? I assumed most applicants would be following the board application as requested rather than making their own edits.
I'm going to say "thumbs down" on electronic applications, because they don't allow for any variability. It's one thing (and fine) for a board to want a completed application scanned and submitted as a PDF, or -- the way Keith B. does it -- assembled in Acrobat Pro and then submitted as a PDF. If the management company wants to see the package on a thumb drive, no problem. But to ask for an application through a portal that goes document by document deprives applicants of the art of assembling a board package -- substituting documents, making highlights, and writing notes to guide the board through an application that can be 300 pages long. It's a disservice to any buyer who isn't cookie-cutter perfect.

The current electronic portals can be pretty confusing, though I think a step in the right direction. We have completed a number of them. We use ADOBE PRO to securely, efficiently process "paper" board applications. Digitize all documents and make them writable, use passwords when sending completed pdfs and sensitive docs. Essentially We Prepare The Entire package, Then Meet the clients to get signatures. Once you have a system in place it's not that difficult.

access to apartments
As I said the lock has a lever on the inside that can be easily flipped. If you call emergency services someone (call a neighbor, someone else in unit) can just run down at release it. In our building, since we were small as well, (18 units) whoever came entered around 11:00 would flip it to locked and whoever left first in the morning would unlock. So it was just the late night hours that we kept it locked. Lived there for 20 years and we neve had access issues.
Thank you apt 55! That sounds like a good solution tho you would have to remember to give the code to ambulance/firefighters if called. And glad to hear that you found a cheap way because the building near me that did this installed a costly buzzer system.
BTW... the lock cost $40 and the super was able to install. Very easy.
I use to live in a building with the same lobby set-up. We needed it to mostly keep out homeless, especially in winter from sleeping in between the doors. On the outter door we installed a combination type lock. It required you to push a 3 button combo to enter. That number could be given to friends, visitors to enter. The back side of the lock (inside the door) had a small lever the could easily be flipped to lock/unlock. It worked out well. Due to its ease of use with just a lever to engage the lock... it comes in handy if you feel unsafe (someone following you) as soon as you enter the first door, you could flip the lever, so you the door behind you is locked and you can then safely go through the second door. Vistiors would then still be buzzed up after entering the first door, so giving out the combo did not pose a risk. It was also very easy to change the combo which we did periodically.
Thanks for the info, I did not know where to begin researching this. Would like to find the law before approaching the rest of the owners to request a change in policy. We were going to research putting in an outer buzzer system, where you would need to know the code in order to buzz yourself in--but that would be costly and also does not solve the problem.

Man accused of attacking teen at bus stop; says boy was bullying daughter
A North Naples man is accused of attacking a teen while he was walking home from the bus stop. The man told deputies the teen had been bullying his daughter.
Christian Macquarrie, 32, of the 500 block of 101st Avenue, was arrested Tuesday by Collier deputies at home.
According to an arrest report, a16-year-old boy was walking home from the school bus when Macquarrie began yelling at him and accusing him of bullying his daughter.
The victim told deputies that Macquarrie was cursing and making verbal threats toward him, so he told him he was only 16 and for him to get away.
Macquarrie then charged at the teen and tackled him to the ground, according to reports. Deputies said several neighbors witnessed the attack.
Macquarrie told deputies that the teen punched him which led him to tackle the boy, however one witness recalled the incident differently. A neighbor told deputies that Macquarrie looked out of control and tackled the boy from behind.
Macquarrie was arrested on a charge of battery.

Sombre Prince Charles joined by William, Harry and Camilla at the funeral of his closest friend Hugh van Cutsem
- The 72-year-old's funeral was held at Brentwood Cathedral today
- Prince and van Cutsem shared friendship starting at Cambridge University
- Conservationist was also close to the Queen and died after a long illness
- One of his four sons is likely to be godfather to Prince George
Prince Charles was joined by his sons William and Harry at the funeral of his closest friend Hugh van Cutsem today.
The Prince of Wales and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, were among the mourners attending the service at Brentwood Cathedral in Essex to honour the life of the conservationist who died last week, aged 72.
Dressed in a blue, double-breasted suit, the Prince, and Camilla, wearing a black skirt and jacket, and hat, spent a few moments talking to clergy gathered outside the entrance.
In mourning: The Prince of Wales accompanied by the Duchess of Cornwall, the Duke of Cambridge and Prince Harry arrive at the Cathedral of Saint Mary and Saint Helen in Brentwood, Essex, for the funeral of Hugh van Cutsem
Passed away: Hugh Van Cutsem (left) had known the Prince for more than 50 years, and sources say he and his wife Camilla have taken his death 'hard'
Final tribute: Hugh Van Cutsem's coffin arrives at Brentwood Cathedral ahead of the Requiem Mass this morning
They were then followed into the cathedral by Prince William, dressed in navy, and Prince Harry, in a lighter blue suit.
Shortly afterwards, the coffin was carried into the church by men dressed in tweed suits, with the trousers cropped just below the knee. It was followed by Mr van Custem's widow Emilie, and his four sons.
Prince Charles and Mr van Cutsem, a former officer in the Household Cavalry, had been close since their days together at Cambridge University and shared passions for rural life, field sports and conservation.
He and his wife were hugely important to not only to Prince Charles, but also his sons.
Chat: The Prince of Wales, the Duchess of Cornwall, the Duke of Cambridge and Prince Harry greet Hugh van Cutsem (right) with his brother William (middle) following the funeral service for their father
Family: The father, his two sons and Camilla chatted for a while before they went their separate ways
Goodbyes: The Prince looked emotional after the service as William and later Harry kissed him and left
Fond farewell: Harry kisses the Duchess of Cornwall after the moving service in Essex today
Prince Charles appeared emotional as he left the funeral of his close friend Hugh van Cutsem today, stopping briefly to speak with clergymen before kissing his sons, William and Harry, goodbye.
The Prince of Wales had attended the requiem mass with his wife, Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, flanked by Princes William and Harry.
They were the first to leave Brentwood Cathedral in Essex after Mr van Cutsem's coffin was followed out of the church by his wife Emelie, and four sons.
The private service, led by Rt Revd Thomas McMahon, the Bishop of Brentwood, lasted around 90 minutes.
Each of Mr van Cutsem's four sons, Edward, Hugh, Nicholas and William gave readings during the mass which featured traditional hymns including Pie Jesu sang by the choir.
Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O'Connor, the retired archbishop of Westminster, read the prayer of commendation.
Close: William and Harry are good friends with Mr Van Cutsem's four sons, as the group are roughly the same age
Sons and wives: (front to back) Edward and Lady Tamara, Hugh and Rose, Alice and Nicholas and William and Rosie van Cutsem, file towards the cathedral
Devastated: Mr Van Cutsem's wife Emilie follows her husband into the church
Sad: The Van Cutsems file into the cathedral on a day where they remembered their conservationist father
Prince Charles and his family sat in the front row of the church, where it is thought around 700 people were in attendance.
The van Cutsems' son, Edward, - the Prince's godson - was one of the two page boys when Prince Charles and Diana married in 1981.
Thirty years later, at the wedding of William and Kate, their five-year-old granddaughter, Grace, was the flower girl pictured covering her ears during the flypast on the balcony of Buckingham Palace.
William and Harry spent a lot of time with the van Cutsem family as their parents' marriage broke down, and became close friends with the couple's four sons, Edward, 40, Hugh, 39, Nicholas, 36, and William, 33.
Friendship: Prince Charles and Hugh van Cutsem became friends more than 50 years ago at Cambridge and were always close
Paying respects: Prince Harry strides into Brentwood Cathedral followed by Prince William who spoke to another mourner
It is thought that one of the four van Cutsem sons will be asked to be a godfather to Prince George.
For several years, Mr and Mrs Van Cutsem were Sandringham neighbours of the royal family as the leaseholders of Anmer Hall, a 10-bedroom Georgian property.
After their lease expired, the van Cutsems moved into a country house on their own estate at Hilborough, near Swaffham in Norfolk.
Event: Mr van Cutsem's wife Emilie before the requiem mass followed by her eldest Edward Van Cutsem and his wife Lady Tamara
Difficult day: Nicholas and Alice Van Cutsem, and William and Rosie van Cutsem, walk to the church
A keen businessman, Mr van Cutsem owned a data storage business and worked as an investment manager at Hambro's as well as having a number of other business interests.
Kate Middleton is not in attendance, but the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester are also part of the congregation, as is Andrew Parker Bowles. The private Catholic mass is expected to last three hours.

3 Scientists Awarded Nobel Prize In Physiology Or Medicine
Copyright 2015 NPR. To see more, visit http://www.npr.org/.
California Governor Signs Physician-Assisted-Suicide Bill Into Law
With the stroke of a pen, California Gov. Jerry Brown made it legal for physicians in the state to prescribe lethal doses of medications if their terminally ill patients wish to end their lives.
Brown signed the "End of Life Act" into law on Monday, and in doing so California joins four other states — Oregon, Washington, Vermont and Montana — where patients' right to choose doctor-assisted death is protected either by law or court order.
DuPont CEO Set To Exit This Month
Ellen Kullman, the CEO of the chemical company DuPont, said Monday that she will retire on Oct. 16. The announcement follows falling stock prices as the company struggles in the global economy.
Edward Breen, a DuPont board member, will serve as Kullman's interim replacement.
NPR's Chris Arnold reports on the leadership change.
On Orders From Mao, Researchers Set Off On Nobel-Winning Drug Work
The Nobel Prize in medicine was awarded Monday to three scientists for their work on parasitic diseases.
William C. Campbell and Satoshi Omura were recognized for discovering a compound that effectively kills roundworm parasites. A Chinese scientist, Dr. Youyou Tu, won for her work in isolating a powerful drug in the 1970s to fight malaria.
For Tu, it all started in the 1960s, when Americans and North Vietnamese fighters were hurting — not just from jungle warfare with each other but also from a common enemy: drug-resistant malaria.
California Governor Signs Landmark Right-To-Die Law
Updated at 9:15 p.m. ET.
California Gov. Jerry Brown signed landmark legislation Monday, allowing terminally ill patients to obtain lethal medication to end their lives when and where they choose.
In a deeply personal note, Brown said he read opposition materials carefully, but in the end was left to reflect on what he would want in the face of his own death.

How El Salvador Fell Into A Web Of Gang Violence
Warning: Some of the depictions and images in this story are graphic.
Violence is rampant in El Salvador. In the month of August alone, there were 900 homicides. That's a daily average of 30 murders in a country with a population of 6.3 million — less than New York City.
At least 35 of those murders have been officially ruled feminicides — a crime involving the violent and deliberate killing of a woman.
Coast Guard Says Cargo Ship Sank; Body Of 1 Crew Member Found
Updated 5:30 p.m. ET
Extinguishing hope that the cargo ship that went missing near the Bahamas could have survived a Thursday encounter with Hurricane Joaquin, the Coast Guard announced Monday that the ship, El Faro, sank, according to the Associated Press. The Coast Guard also found an unidentified body of one crew member.
Hillary Clinton's Gun Proposals Expose Democratic Divide

Laws To Stop Bullying Can Protect Teens If They're Done Right
There's good news from the front lines in the fight against bullying: anti-bullying laws can help reduce aggression, both online and in real life.
Bullying affects one out of every five U.S. high school students. But anti-bullying laws do make a difference, researchers reported Monday in JAMA Pediatrics – especially when those laws comply with guidelines from the U.S. Department of Education.

TripAdvisor Reviews Mediterranean Hotel Heraklion
Travel Blogs from Heraklion
Crete - here we come
... baby on the way. We stopped at a taverna by an amazing beach. The food was very average, the beer was good, the water looked several shades of turquoise & quite choppy, the sand was golden and Lance got a rusty nail through his foot. Luckily his tetanus is all up to date. The beach was located close to the islands airport. The planes were coming in to land what seemed like every couple of minutes. It was a lovely spot to cool off and watch the sea and ...
Day 9 lasithiti plateau
... elementary school a wedding reception was borrowing the play ground for a party later in the evening; All throughout our meal the sound system was being checked by playing traditional Greek music. The dive home was much easier than the drive there as we new what to expect back down the long winding roads back to our hotel. After drinks by the pool we are know getting ready for bed. Tomorrow we will be on the 9:30 am ferry to ...
July 2
... at night, the air was filled not with the sounds of commerce and groups of tourists, but with the authentic cacophony of Greek locals sitting around outside, making conversation as the day draws down. Kids, too. Kids in Greece stay out late. Surprisingly late. The result of a dearth of electronics and limited cable/internet I'm sure.
The couple next to me is now arguing about Santorini.
Guy: "What do you hope to accomplish there? It's nothing, it's barren"
Crete: What an amazing island!
... kerb all day. Good to know.
So what can I say about Crete.
I think its called the food bowl of Greece - and there appears to be a very good reason for that. The food here is amazing. We were lucky that we got some very hot tips about where to eat while we were here. Not able to get to all the places on that list, but did get to at least three of them. And I also have to mention the breakfast food here at the hotel. What an amazing ...
July 1
... I had two options: stay in the taverna and wait it out, or go for it. I went with option B. I had a few reasons: (1) due to time constraints, I needed to get as far south and east as I could before dark, (2) plateaus tend to collect rain, so things might be better sooner if I got out, and (3) I wanted to put as much distance between me and that God-forsaken plateau and its accursed summit as quickly as I could. I partitioned and oriented ...

|"Item is in fantastic used condition. On close inspection there are some light scratches on the main body of the airbox at the rear where it exits the scuttle tray and a little about the airbox.

|Part Manufacturer:
Civic Type R EP3 TEGIWA Induction kit incl. Red Silicone hoses
For sale is a Carbon Fibre TEGIWA Induction kit which is intended for use on a Honda Civic Type R EP3. The kit came with an EP3 I recently bought but is surplus to requirements, as such I am putting it up for sale. These kits are very well known in the EP3 community for being a no nonsense piece of quality kit, giving real world power gains while looking fantastic and adding a much more distinctive vtec crossover sound. They are said to be a copy of the much more expensive Gruppe M airbox and should outperform any traditional cone air filter/elbow. The overall finish of the airbox is fantastic, the weaves look spot on, there are some light scratches etc about the box due to use, and some lacquer has peeled on the scuttle intake scoop but this could easily be cleaned up and will not affect performance. This kit will come with a pre-cut scuttle panel to save you buying a new one or cutting your existing one.
Overall this kit bought new from Tegiwa will cost £340 + £75 for the hoses so a £415 value excluding the scuttle panel.
Tegiwa Carbon fibre Airbox
Carbon fibre intake scoop
Air Filter
Silicone Intake and breather hose

The New York drumz made the last one hot so.................Playboy
Smooth record
this joint in the pockett, better then the first musically ....Only gets three stars because it's still the same danm song as u fancy
It's an okay track, but it's soooo typical and overdone and radio's saturated with this tracks. Not for anything, but hip-hop these days is so damn disconnected from reality, it's unbelievable. It's like Rappers live in a bubble. Come on, GET REAL. The world's in a mess, and all these rappers keep talking the same talk: girls, clothes, cars, bottles, lookin' fly, swagga, being rich and famous, bla bla bla - heard it 10 million times before, where's that NEW shit?! Like seriously, they must live boring shallow superficial predictable lives. Not hating, just REAL TALK. SMH... When will people wake up and snap outta this nonsense hypnosis.
Damn can I quote that?
Amen son but this songs different from what other rappers talk about girls and ppl worship the new hip "pop" which is all the damn same
I like Fabo -- but it is what it is, well stated.
Real Talk My Nigga
Fab does it again! Anybody that complains about this track is really nitpicking. Fab is one of the best out. He is consistently putting out good music! The are not many that you can actually say that's doing that. He now has a Busta Rhymes consistency.
Co-Sign? Abso.
crackkkkkkkk best rapper aka fabolous
good stuff
flyy!! shit
eh i like the orinal better
fab and ne-yo need to make an album together
ain't they doin' one?
This track is on the new Fab Ne-yo album. They decided to mack an album after you make me better.
I cosign!
fabb cocert dis friday! holla!
I like That
this is a great track, these huys are killing it, but you have to check out this kid, hes already got a nasty flow and hes only 15, hes like a mixx of mac and wiz! check him out this kid needs to get signed! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MGZoD2LRxL0
yea, hit the nail on the head..ne-yo's voice up and down is trying to hard on a simple tough beat where LES would be more..GET IT RYAN lesLIE ha-ha..less would be more ne-yo but i do like the slow ne-yo part he goes..damn look at her 5-star general
I agree with the comment below about neyo ruining it still got to give it a 5 because the beat sounds amazing
Hot beat, R. Les crafted another great one, fab's flow over it is flawless. Ne-Yo sounds awful and out of place on the chorus, and in my opinion ruins what would otherwise be a great song. 3.5 stars.
nice flow

Sweden Is Moving Toward the 6-hour Workday — and It's Turning Out Great

We're probably all still getting our heads around the fact that yet another late-night great is calling it quits, but let's take a moment to recognize it's about damn time "The Daily Show" was hosted by a woman.
The big announcement off his chest, the host cracked up, teared up and promised to stick around awhile, if only to properly say goodbye. But he gave some clues about his decision.
Featureflash / Shutterstock.com
After 16 years transforming a goofball "Weekend Update" knockoff into must-watch programming that frequently embarrassed "real" journalists and elevated national debate, Jon Stewart is calling it quits.
"The Daily Show" host explains why a recent White House security breach probably has to do with Obama's love of drones, or rather their love of him.
Not much has changed in the GOP since it lost the last presidential election.
Stephen Colbert has a tough act to follow in replacing David Letterman on the "Late Show" later this year—but then again, following Stephen Colbert is no easy feat either. The latter job fell to Comedy Central's newest host, Larry Wilmore, on Monday night.
The 39th president of the U.S. has kept quite busy since the end of his term, but he put aside some time to talk with the "Daily Show" host about the Middle East and the recent Paris unity rally, among other things.
It's been 2015 for only a few days but all the media can talk about is the 2016 presidential election, and that includes "Daily Show" host Jon Stewart.
It's been a bit of a crazy year for news, but thankfully Jon Stewart and the Best F#@king News Team Ever helped us get in a few laughs as we came to terms with the world as it was in 2014.
After nine years, 1,447 episodes and several well-deserved Emmy Awards, America's favorite faux news pundit signed off one last time with a promise that "We'll Meet Again."
The "Daily Show" host is struggling to understand how so much "random stuff" ended up in the $1.1 trillion spending bill that Congress recently passed.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein, who's the head of the Senate Intelligence Committee, revealed that the CIA lied to many people, including former President George W. Bush, about the heinous torture methods it employed. Until 2006, that is.
"If comedy is tragedy plus time, I need more fucking time," said "The Daily Show" host Wednesday night as he tried to digest the news about another unarmed black man's death being treated unjustly. "But I would really settle for less fucking tragedy."
"These [Ferguson] protests have spread to what Americans hold most sacred: football," the "Colbert Report" host said Monday.
The unrest inspired by the killing of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo., and a grand jury's decision not to indict former Officer Darren Wilson in his death have nothing to do with race. Or so Fox News would have you believe.
The "Citizenfour" documentary filmmaker stopped by "The Daily Show" on Monday for a captivating interview in which she discussed how Edward Snowden first got in touch with her and what the repercussions of the whistle-blower's courageous acts have been.
It appears that pointing is now a serious offense in the state of Minnesota.
Jon Stewart offers his audience an update on the current situation in Iraq, from the uncertainty surrounding the possible death of Islamic State's leader to the over 3,000 troops President Obama has now sent to the Middle Eastern country.
Jon Stewart gets in his last few swipes at the GOP before the midterm elections.
When current Florida Gov. Rick Scott initially refused to debate former Gov. Charlie Crist due to a "ball fan" placed beneath Crist's legs Wednesday night, the "Daily Show" host rediscovered the reason he got into the business of political satire in the first place.
Despite countless speeches by Democratic leaders denouncing the evils of money in politics, their party sure knows how to raise and spend boatloads of campaign dollars. "And then of course there are ... the emails," a horror-stricken Jon Stewart says on Monday night's "Democalypse" segment of "The Daily Show."
Jon Stewart revamps the Schoolhouse Rock song to reflect how ineffective and inefficient Congress really is these days when it comes to passing laws in a hilarious new "Daily Show" segment called "How a Bill Becomes an Ad."
Oh right, because Congress pretty much does diddly squat these days. Watch Jon Stewart make a jaw-dropping discovery as to why our elected officials refuse to publicly discuss what the "Daily Show" host calls one of the most "crucial issues of our time."
Using a cup of water and bowl of ice, the "Daily Show" host tries to show an exceptionally stubborn House representative why his metaphor about climate change is faulty.
The independent Vermont senator and the former secretary of state caused quite a stir during their visits to Iowa over the weekend. As some in the media put it, there's no turning back now.
"Until this part of the world," the "Daily Show" host explains, "starts to see past sectarian lines and national borders that, OK, we drew—we'll give you that—the U.S. can't fix this ... by waving a magic bomb."
Al-Qaida has a thing or two to learn from ISIS about social media. Meanwhile, the efforts to squash ISIS have created some strange bedfellows. Luckily, Jon Stewart has returned from promoting his film "Rosewater" at festivals and has gotten back on "network anchor war footing" to tell us all about the new plagiarist terrorists in town.
Much to the "Daily Show" host's dismay, New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand recently revealed she'd been on the receiving end of several misogynistic comments from her colleagues in the legislative branch of the U.S. government.
"Do you not understand that life in this country is inherently different for white people and black people?" the "Daily Show" host asks of Fox News' pundits on the show's first day back from a summer break.
"You could salvage this entire fucking thing with a mediocre Scrabble hand," the "Daily Show" host shouts in exasperation.
With analysts estimating that the news network, often the butt of "Daily Show" jokes, could be worth $10 billion, Jon Stewart has launched a parody campaign to crowdsource the funds.
Watch as Jon Stewart gets hollered at by the rest of the "Daily Show" crew whenever he tries to talk about what's going on in Israel.
Obviously, the thing to do with the hundreds of children fleeing crippling poverty and violence is "shout at them in a language they don't understand," the "Daily Show" host explains.
Missing your (somewhat) daily dose of late-night satire while Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert are on summer break? Fear not; we've rounded up some great clips from each show about the 4th of July.
Jon Stewart, accompanied by correspondents Jessica Williams and Jordan Klepper, explains how American universities are practically "incentiviz[ing] sexual assault" these days with inaction and leniency toward attackers.
The one thing everyone wants to know about 2016 Democratic front-runners Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden isn't what their stance is on any crucial issue, but rather which one is more "dead broke" than the other. Or at least that's what the two seem to think judging by their ridiculous comments about poverty.
"The Daily Show" host pokes holes in all the ridiculous Fox News arguments about prisoner of war Bowe Bergdahl and his father Bob being Muslim terrorists and points out that facial hair is not evidence that someone is a terrorist. Case in point: the beardless Las Vegas shooting suspects.
Why don't we just accept the senseless killings that most developed countries don't experience as an inevitable fact of American life and stop trying to fix them?
Gun toters are facing challenges everywhere, from Chipotle Mexican Grill to the National Rifle Association itself.
Why does no one seem to care that a very important midterm election is mere months away?
Conflation, conflation, conflation.
The Massachusetts senator went on "The Daily Show" on Tuesday night to talk about "A Fighting Chance," her new book, but ended up explaining all the things that are terribly wrong with our country these days.
"Almost nine years ago, I promised to change the world, and together, I did it," says Stephen Colbert, still in character as his self-obsessed conservabot doppelganger, while dropping in to rub it in on his onetime mentor Jon Stewart's "Daily Show" on Wednesday night.
When David Letterman pushes away from his desk on CBS' "Late Night with David Letterman" in 2015, Stephen Colbert will be ready to pull up a chair.
The Senate Intelligence Committee recently declassified documents on CIA torture during the Bush administration, inspiring the "Daily Show" host to take us on a "stroll down 'things we'd like to erase from our memory' lane."
Ever fervently stated that a country shouldn't militarily intervene in another country's internal affairs, especially without pretext, and then invaded a nation anyway? Vladimir Putin and John Kerry know how you feel.
The "Daily Show" host explains how the true difference between administrations is "not necessarily what they do but what they say to get to do it."

2008 Volkswagen Jetta Sedan SEL 4dr Sedan (2.5L 5cyl 6A)
Great car, very safe in the snow. Coming from a sports car to this wasn't very hard because it has so much pep. Bought this car March 2008 and 2 years later I have not had one problem with it.
Heated seats, heated side mirrors, fake leather (real leather is so ugly and is hard to maintain)
Power seats for both driver & passenger. Bigger rims, better mpg. More horsepower.. not exactly the TDI cup edition but come a little closer..
We exchanged our 2008 Mazda 3i in because as fun as it was to drive, it floundered on even the shallowest hills if there was snow on the road. My spouse was terrified getting to work, so our New Year's resolution was to drive a safer car. We bought this pre-owned Jetta to replace the Mazda. WOW WHAT a Difference! This car is solid and we now realize what "hug the road" means. The stability of this vehicle is complemented this winter by the toasty-warm heated seats which almost makes me reluctant to get out of the car. Volkswagen clearly takes Pride in their Jetta and its design. Inside and out it is a wonderful choice. It could stand more storage space up front for CD's and such.
Handling and traction, heated seats, sunglasses holder, general interior
More storage for CDs, coins, etc. Better mileage, lighted keyhole, lower prices :)
My wife wanted a BMW. This car is as close as u could come without the price. Jetta is tight, quiet and quick. the 170 hp 5 cylinder is quiet, fast and fun but i can get 37 mpg on highway. Wife and I are very different is likes and dislikes. This car came as a GREAT compromise for us. It fits any occasion we have come across so far. I am very happy so far 12,000 and no hint of any problem to take it back to the dealer.
All of them. intermittent wipers slow down at stoplight, turn signals take just a slight touch to works. cruise is easy to access and work. Sport setting on 6 speed auto is fun to drive. console top slides forward to use as armrest. insnow dash indictor shows when wheels sliding. gas mileage
change the way to recline the passager seat back. When I want to set the seat back to nap in the car on a trip you have a hand crank wheel to turn. It works but just a pain. Bucket seats are just a bit narrow
When I first purchased this car it was just a car to get from point A to B. Now that I've had it over 4 months I absolutely LOVE this car. After learning how to drive with the S and shifters it is the most fun vehicle I have ever owned. Oil change ran 60 bucks at the dealer. Seems very maintenance friendly. MPG about 25 city driving. I'm not a lead foot so I think it is pretty reasonable. The only thing lacking is that I originally wanted a hatchback to haul stuff. I don't have the storage space I need, but after all it is a sedan. If you are in the market for a sedan definitely check this one out! I wasn't looking for this car it kinda found me. Overall very pleased.
All Interior applications for SEL model. Like the trunk release.
I wanted more trunk space, but this is a sedan. I haven't figured out a way to release the door locks without actually unlocking the key chain/passenger doors. It is kind of annoying, but a safety feature none- the-less.
After looking around at many of the comparable vehicles, none could compare and I bought the Jetta. I see a lot of this is great, that is great here so I'll focus on a couple of real quirks I've noticed, but don't get me wrong, I love everything everyone else loves about this car. First off is the visors/rear view mirror. How cheap! While the interior has THE nicest materials in this economy class, the visors are cheap plastic non-sense. The mini- vanity mirrors, with the quirky sliding door and the 1/2 matchstick light bulb are worthless. Center console room front and center is very tight. The rolling knobs for the seats and dash lights are difficult to adjust while driving.
It's great to drive, handles like on rails. 3 mode transmission is sporty. The heated side-view mirrors work great and did I mention that stereo is awesome! I like the style, especially in a market that has very little. The fit and finish, and ride make it seem like a much more expensive car.
Leave the cheapo visors/mirrors in the S or better yet, ship 'em to Japan and get some real material. Instead of the quirky center armrest mechanism, build it taller so there is more room. Get the dash lights all the same color and ditch those funky seat heater and dash dimmer knobs.
