Theres a new show opening Sunday at Parsons the New School for Design in NYC comprised of thesis projects from the Design & Technology program (my alma mater).
Between May 6 and May 19, MFA D+T thesis candidates present installations and performances, objects and apps, games and video, and interactive experiences that explore the dynamic role of technology in our current lives. These 74 projects represent a unique convergence of lenses, designed to question, engage, or critique technology. They invoke the playful, the informative, the empowering, the critical, and the subversive to explore emerging issues and provoke discussion.

Hi Folks,
We are about to start another season at home and abroad in good old Hank the Kamper.
If you're planning an event in Summer 2016 we still have a few key summer dates left, so don't delay if you want Hank the icon at your event to entertain all your guests.
Those that have followed us for a while now know how high we set our standards compared to all the other booths out there. Well, we have some big news and sad news I guess. We are no longer taking bookings for winter 2016 and 2017 as Hank and Kamper Klicks will be under going a full restoration. With so many booths on the market we need to stay one step ahead of the game and thats exactly what we are going to be doing.
We shall update you all in due course but until then have a great Easter and go easy on the chocolate

Erectile Dysfunction Health Center
Why Can't I Get or Keep an Erection?
In this article
Like the stock market and foreign car engines, erections are mysterious things that seem to have a mind of their own. When they don't happen, it can be disappointing, at the very least.
Decreased blood flow, typically because vessels that supply blood to the penis have narrowed, is often the cause of erectile dysfunction (ED) in older men. Emotional issues are more commonly at the root of it for younger men.
Regardless of the reasons, it's important to look for answers.
Is the Problem All in My Head?
Probably not. Most cases of ED are caused by physical problems alone or in combination with emotional ones.
Just about any medical condition that affects your nerves or blood vessels could hurt your ability to have erections. High blood pressure, heart disease, multiple sclerosis, and diabetes can all lead to ED. In fact, as many as 60% of men with diabetes find themselves in that situation.
Hormonal issues such as low testosterone levels can also factor in, more often for older men. Prostate cancer treatments including surgery and radiation may be the culprit.
If you have erections in the morning or while sleeping, the problem probably isn't physical. Stress, anxiety, and depression can cause ED, too.
Talk to your doctor about your symptoms. He may want to run some tests to help figure out what's going on.
Can I Blame My Medicines?
Maybe. Several types of medications, like blood pressure drugs (especially beta-blockers) and certain antidepressants, can make it tough to get an erection.
If you think your medicine may be causing your problem, don't just stop taking it. Talk to your doctor. You may need to switch to something different, or consider taking an ED medication, too.
Could My Lifestyle Play a Role?
Absolutely. Being overweight, getting too little exercise, and smoking all can work against the good blood flow that is key to erections.
For some men, a little alcohol may help take the edge off. Yet too much, as Shakespeare wrote, "provokes the desire, but it takes away the performance."

do not trade james
don't trade LBJ. you have alot of bigs, maybe try trading one of them for a young or slightly under the radar pg in some sort of package deal. your team could be quite good.
- 1 Reply to Jason
any suggestions on the package deal? i'm bad at trades
in a 12 team league your team should not be that shallow. try picking up brandon knight or iman shumpert if either is still available and drop davis.
A Yahoo! User Jan 16, 2012 9:12 PM Flag
You should be able to get some decent replacements off the waiver wire for the dead weight you have on your time like Jamal Crawford, Carl Landry, Tyler Hansbrough, Nate Robinson.
Just do a little research and look into who has been hot these days.
someone please!

As commenter Charles A. Smith notes, Tekelec (TKLC +13.7%) shares are now changing hands roughly 2% above the $11/share buyout price the company has agreed to. Investors are speculating a higher bid will arrive, though some think Tekelec's continued dependency on its slow-growing call-signaling business will be a deterrent.| Nov. 7, 2011, 2:31 PM

The decision to stay here was because all our regular hotels are booked when we decided on the trip. We went by the reviews posted and was surprisingly pleased with the choice.
Depending on the purpose of your visit and if you are travelling with a bunch of friends or extended family, this is a great option. It isn't exactly near tourist spots, unless you drive. But the accommodation provided is superb. Everyone is under one roof, the place is clean, sufficiently equipped with a washer, medium-sized refridgerator, kettle and a stove (if you want to cook, you will need to purchase gas tank). Every room has an ensuite bathroom. Most importantly, it is relatively safe as the location is amongst residential estate. There're amenities like provision shops, massage place, food and bakery within easy reach.
I ordered in a BBQ Package and our family of 6 Adults and 4 children BBQ at the courtyard, it was more than enough food!
Service is prompt.
Downside is mosquitoes, as the end of this stretch of Residences is a piece of land preparing to be developed, there is a swamp, mosquitoes are breeding there. So lots of mossies in the house. You really need to keep the house door and windows closed at all times.
Would return again only if travelling in group. Individual stays would be better off in a regular hotel and with pool facilities to entertain the children.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- Great value, Great location and peaceful environment can be found in this house. The house is Clean and spacious with four bedrooms and bathrooms attached to each room, suitable for family or friends gathering. It is located within the heart of Malacca, 5 km from the city not far from tourist attractions. Spend your day sightseeing in cultural attractions and shopping in antique shops or just relax in the house and enjoy your own barbeque dinner ... more less
- Reservation Options:
- TripAdvisor is proud to partner with Hotwire, Agoda, Orbitz, Travelocity, Priceline and Hotels.com so you can book your Sunflower House reservations with confidence. We help millions of travelers each month to find the perfect hotel for both vacation and business trips, always with the best discounts and special offers.

Tags of mystery
I was in the Willamette National Forest this weekend and came across this tag on a tree, and I'm really curious what it means. googleing any of the strings on the tag return useless results and calling what looks like a phone number didn't get me anywhere either. Has anyone seen anything like this before?
June 12
Entertaining Data Sets
I'm looking for a whimsical large data set. Something bizarrely specific, or just an area you'd never guess there was that much to measure. For example, the amount of materials used by the Teddy Bear industry or the shifting volume of animal feces at major zoos. I've been searching through the many big data set sites to no avail. The ideal set would contain around a million nodes and, if relational, a few hundred thousand connections. A factor of ten either way would be reasonable though.
Does global warming mean we shouldn't buy this riverside lot?
My husband and I are thinking of buying a particular lot on a river. If we built there, it would be outside of the 100-year flood zone, but not by a ton. Does global warming make that too risky? [more inside]

Looking for plastic hex pieces seen in Stephen Hawking's Genius Series
I'm looking where to buy these plastic hexagonal pieces we saw on Steven Hawking's Genius on PBS in the US.

Anyone know where, if anywhere, to find these?
Watching people grill drives me crazy

Can anyone identify the bug in this paperweight? Thanks in advance!
Can you recommend a chemical reaction?
I'm looking for an example of a common chemical reaction in which a specific combination of a few reactants yields one product, but the introduction of one additional reactant yields an entirely different product. This is for the purpose of a literary metaphor. The less esoteric the reaction, the better (i.e. if it consists of commonly recognized substances that would be helpful).

What would happen if I let a leech leech?
There are leeches in a pond near here. What would happen if, out of curiosity, I let a leech latch and lunch? Any significant danger to me or the leech?
What is the origin of the name of the James River?
No one seems to know when the tributary of the White River now called the James River (in Missouri) was named or who named it. Henry Schoolcraft traveled to the Ozarks in 1818-1819. In a View of the Lead Mines of Missouri (1819) he refers to it as the James River. In the 1820s, it was called the James Fork of the White in references in dealing with the relocated Delaware Reservation on that stream. [more inside]

Hey all,
Simple problem (I hope): I have this banner in the top-right corner of my page:
I have defined an image map to set the hit zone. This works fine.
However, the image (a PNG file), is of course a square, and everything that falls within that square's area underneath the z-index of the image becomes inactive.
So the "contact us" button doesn't work, for example.
How do I have that banner in the top right without resizing or realigning anything and yet have the elements underneath it active? Is it even possible?

SCIENTIST AT WORK: Paul C. Sereno;Imp's Evolution To Fossil Finder
By BRENDA FOWLER
Published: June 4, 1996
CHICAGO— IT is 9 A.M. on a weekday, and Susan Lesher's fifth-grade class from the University of Chicago Laboratory School is agitatedly awaiting the entrance of the dinosaur hunter Dr. Paul C. Sereno. Minutes later, the door to the lecture room at the university swings open and Dr. Sereno -- in jeans, a West African charm necklace and one turquoise earring -- strides to the front, grinning broadly at his adulatory audience. Jaws fall open, revealing braces on teeth, and a few hands shoot up with burning questions, prompting a raised-eyebrow caution from Ms. Lesher.
"Griffin, please wait, please wait," she whispers gently from halfway across the room.
The man needs no introduction to these dinosaur disciples. Just last month, he and his team at the University of Chicago announced their discovery of fossil remains of two large predatory dinosaurs that must have been the terror of the flood plain they inhabited 90 million years ago: Carcharodontosaurus saharicus, which means "shark-toothed reptile from the Sahara," a bipedal dinosaur bigger than Tyrannosaurus rex, and Deltadromeus agilis, for "agile delta runner," a relatively lithe, fleet creature. Carcharodontosaurus was identified earlier in this century, but Deltadromeus is a new species.
The pupils have seen Dr. Sereno's rugged image on the morning news, pored over his make-or-break expeditions to Niger and Morocco, and prepared for this visit to his laboratory by studying a curriculum he wrote with Gabrielle Lyon, a University of Chicago graduate who participated in both expeditions. For the next 90 minutes, Dr. Sereno and Ms. Lyon, who spotted the glint of the crystallized Deltadromeus marrow under the glaring Moroccan sun, regale the pupils with facts and stories about their work and the lives of dinosaurs.
In recent years, Dr. Sereno's time has been increasingly in demand, but visits by schoolchildren frequently dot his agenda. "This could be the experience that changes a kid's life," he said after the session. Dr. Sereno's account of his own uneven childhood in nearby Naperville, Ill., suggests a reason for his belief in turning points.
He was considered a poor student. "I wasn't reading in second grade," he said. "I couldn't tell time in third grade, and I nearly flunked sixth grade."
He was also incorrigibly mischievous and accident-prone. He tried derailing trains and pelting school windows with rocks, and he landed in several body-mutilating accidents involving knives and bikes. Twice he was rendered unconscious in gym class mishaps.
It was another misdemeanor that finally set him on a more virtuous course. "Just a minute. I still have it," he said, rushing from the room and returning a moment later with the 1956 edition of "The Fossil Book," wrapped in yellowed cellophane and stamped on all sides with the words Naperville Community High School Library.
Yes, he stole it. "There were two copies," said Dr. Sereno, who at 38 views the prank a bit sheepishly. It is a book packed with photographs of fossils, slimy creatures and colorful stones, and the illustrations captivated him at a time when he was discovering his own talent in painting. With the unwavering support of his parents (whose five other children now also have Ph.D.'s), he enrolled at Northern Illinois University in De Kalb, majoring in biology and studio art. Then, on a trip to the American Museum of Natural History in New York, Dr. Sereno became fascinated with the stories of paleontological expeditions.
"I could combine art, travel, science, adventure, biology, paleontology and geology," he remembered thinking. "Right then, I knew exactly what I wanted to be."
From there, Dr. Sereno went on to earn a Ph.D. in geology at Columbia University in New York. He got a job at Chicago, where he has taught since 1987 in the department of organismal biology and anatomy.
In the last decade, he has led and participated in expeditions to South America, China and, most recently, Africa, where his team made the first relatively complete discovery of dinosaur remains from the Late Cretaceous period, the final stage of dinosaur evolution. But in a field where, according to one paleontologist's estimate, a new dinosaur species is discovered on the average of every seven weeks, it is not only Dr. Sereno's discoveries that impress some of his colleagues.
"Sereno's accomplishments aren't what he gets credit for in the popular media," said Dr. David E. Fastovsky, a paleontologist at the University of Rhode Island in Kingston and the co-author with Dr. David B. Weishampel of "The Evolution and Extinction of the Dinosaurs" (Cambridge University Press, 1996). "He has a truly well-developed, high-quality eye and breadth of knowledge of the character of dinosaurs. He knows which dinosaur is related to which as well as anybody out there."
Dr. Sereno's main interest is in explaining the genealogy of dinosaurs using cladistic analysis, a tool that presents dinosaur relationships as a hierarchy of shared characteristics. In a cladogram, each branching point, or node, marks a hypothesized evolutionary step between organisms. For example, the earliest branching point in dinosaur evolution was between the Ornithischia, whose defining characteristics include a backward-rotated pelvis, and Saurischia, whose defining characteristics include an asymmetrical hand. By contrast, the old family trees postulated relationships between organisms without presenting rigorous anatomical evidence for such connections, Dr. Sereno said.

However, before I understood that the author covers the Whitehouse for the Washington Times, the title had me suspicious that the book was bashing Bush. The phrase, as you probably know, comes from a brilliant SNL sketch of a Presidential debate where Will Ferrell as Bush uses the word "strategery" to describe his presidency. It was a beautiful and funny moment, but did not actually represent Bush. What I did not know, until I read this book, is that Karl Rove uses the word for a weekly meeting of Whitehouse strategists.
Bill Sammon captures the story of the Bush Kerry contest for the 2004 election and this covers the first two hundred pages. The author exposes several of the breaches of journalistic ethics to try and steer the election towards Kerry including a scathing behind the scenes telling of the fake Texas National Guard memos that ended up backfiring on Rather, Mapes, and others at CBS. He also shows how CBS sat this story and gave the Whitehouse only a few hours to respond so they could paint things in a worse light. Just as they had with the Abu Ghraib scandal when Rather's on the air story conflated what the run amok soldiers did with Saddam's tortures in order to smear Bush, Rumsfeld and our armed forces. Of course, not having learned their lesson and seething with a desire to "get even", CBS set off a stink bomb late in the campaign with the help of the NY Times.Read more ›
Negative reviews call this a book for apologists. But all I saw was just a straight-forward statement of fact, all of which can be checked easily in a Lexis-Nexus search. I really didn't see much spin at all.
For example, Sammon discusses the Abu Ghraib scandal without making any excuses. It was truly a major victory for Mary Mapes and CBS News. The author admitted it happened. All he added was to point out the (obvious) difference between what the US troops did and what Saddam Hussein did.
He discusses "Memogate" at length. Whether you are pro- or anti-Bush, the fact of the matter was that after all the dust settled, Dan Rather was forced into early retirement, and CBS fired Mapes, senior VP Betsy West, and two producers. CBS News President Andrew Heyward announced that CBS was wrong to use the memos, and was later forced out himself. George Bush had nothing to do with these dismissals.
Critics insist the content of the memos was still true even if the authenticity of the docs was not. But this begs the question:
If accusations about Bush's military service were so rock-solid, how come the best evidence that a top-notch reporter like Mary Mapes could get were four documents that all four of CBS' own hired analysts refused to certify?
John Kerry really did accuse the military of atrocities back in the 1970s. All the Swift Boat Veterans did was to remind the public of fact.
How is this apologizing for George Bush?Read more ›
A lot of people probably don't want to relive the last election, but I, since it was the first election I ever voted in, look back on this past election with an extremely high regard. I think that this election was historic, and will be looked at that way in the near future. Honestly, though, it is just really gratifying to read about all the crap that the Democrats and Kerry threw at Bush for 6 straight months, only for Bush to come out on top once again. Whether it was the Abu Grhaib photos, which Sammons covers very honestly, or Memogate, which can be looked back on with pure glee, knowing the fates of Rather and Mapes, you have to admit that the cards were stacked against Bush in 2004, but he somehow pulled it off.
Off the topic of the election, though, the book continues on covering until very recently. The book examines Hurrican Katrina and the recent Supreme Court nominations, as well as a breif look at the CIA leak scandal, and the recent debates on Iraq that involved crazy Cindy Sheehan, or senile Edward Murtha.Read more ›

It has been awhile since I have 'helped' put a Lego together. Not since my 26 yr old did Technic projects. I bought this for my 10 year old granddaughter for her birthday. Now the bags of pieces are numbered and you only open one bag at a time, making it easier to find and assemble, especially with over 900 pieces. (well, I wasn't there and my older grandson was working on it and they opened all the bags looking for a 'missing' part) Meanwhile my youngest grandson who had never done Legos with directions was putting together the City Garbage Truck (3 bags/208 pieces) at my house while I held the directions. He was done in 50 minutes. This is fantastic! Love the separate bag idea!! Later, we separated all the pieces by color on the castle to help assemble. Not done yet. Hopefully next week we will work on it. My granddaughter loves it, but I have a feeling her brothers will be putting it together. She asked for this gift. I was happy to get it at Walmart at a much better price.
This is a very impressive set and my first purchase in the Monster Fighters series. Before I really get into it, I have to say that I HATE stickers, and this set has a dozen or so, all glow-in-the-dark. Stickers aside, there is a TON of great things to like; details like the trapdoor above the spikes, the bookshelf, the spiral staircase, and the minifigures. The minifigures are especially great because the vampyres have glow-in-the-dark two-faced heads, and both monster fighters have either a robotic arm or leg, which is a really nice touch. The vehicle, the net-launching car, is the first part to build and was very easy to build and impressive. The rest of the castle was not too difficult to assemble either and castle and car came together in about 3 hours total. The only con is, in my opinion, the stickers. I've not had good luck with them in the past, but when I shone a flashlight on them and turned out the lights, I kind of saw past that.
New Monster theme from Lego does a good job with originality in castle design and creativity (spikes, skeleton hanging from chains, pipe organ keys, etc).This set is a good deal if under a hundred $ More than that and you're paying too much. It's a big enough set that multiple kids can play with it at same time and each stay busy. It's particularly neat to have setup in the house around halloween. Bravo once again Lego.
Cool features and great details.
When I bought this set and built a few months ago, I haven't stopped playing with it. The detail and amount of fun with this set is incredible. The mini-figures are awesome and I love how the vampire faces glow in the dark. The traps and features on the set is amazing. The gate spikes are a good way of blocking intruders and the wall feature along with the skeleton are cool. I also love the glow in the dark stickers and parts on the castle. My favourite features are the spiral staircase and the trap door that appears to be a mat. I also find the Moonstone Device fun to play with and activating it. The other accessories are the organ, the cauldron with a mushroom, a frog and a stick, the treasure chest and the coffin which Lord Vampyre fits into very nicely. The car is detailed with plating and a special seat for Rodney. The net launcher works better if the net is flicked rather than being pushed.
Need more jewels in the treasure chest (I added 3 of my own jewels)
Playability: 10/10
Price: 10/10
Building: 10/10
Features: 10/10
Overall: 10/10
A surprisingly pleasant build, with excellent detail and great play or story options. I was particularly pleased with the organ in the tower and the moonstone crystal machine featured in the adjacent tower, which followed the Lego Monster Hunters storyline rather nicely. The glow-in-the-dark stickers were a nice touch, adding a classic monster theme to the castle, especially with the dark eyes looking out between broken stones and the smaller spiderwebs/cobwebs. I also enjoyed how the different castle segments could connect together in a variety of patterns. Probably the most enjoyable sections for me were the hidden staircase, the trapfloor with the map, and the gate. Overall, a good build and one that I might buy a second of in order to increase the size and scope of the Vampyre Castle.
The Vampyre Castle is a set that does not disappoint. it is the first monster fighters lego i purchased and it was worth it. The set is very fun to play with and build. it also makes a great display for halloween. This castle is filled with very detailed features and is quite unlike any lego castle i have purchased. PROS:
- Six nicely detailed minifigs
- Trap door w/ spikes
- cool car with net launcher
- secret staircase
- variety of pieces that glow in the dark
- stickers that glow in the dark (which most ppl hate but since these glow in the dark it doesn't bother me) CONS:
- i wish they had at least one more monster fighter to the set but other than that there is nothing really bad about this set!
Great set! After having read Dracula, I think this set is very detailed and follows the description in the book. Although I think the entire moonstone thing in this theme is unnecessary, I do think the contraption on top of the tower is awesome. Getting a few evil characters from the minifigure packs and putting them on the walls makes the castle even more scary. I got the cyclops, Mr. Good and Evil, and the evil knight. I play the piano, so I love the pipe organ in the attic! I think this set is pretty much perfect, and the only things I think should be added are some normal wolves (not werewolves) and some more coffins in the crypt. Great price!
I love this set, there are so many great aspects, including a spike trap at the front gate, a net shooter, a shooting spider, a trap door, and a moonstone device.
Another thing I like about it is that there are different sections that you can attach and rearrange. Taking these sections apart makes the set easier to transport, although there is a structural issue when you attach sections a couple of them have a tendency to fall apart. And I love that there are so many glow in the dark items including the shooting spider, stickers, two characters, a rat in the potion room, and part of the moonstone device.
I'll start out by saying this set is a GREAT value! You get some really cool pieces and the car is just awesome! Super fun build and some really cool touches you don't see often. The organ, the bookcase, and the moonstones are all really sick! All the mini figures are detailed and some faces even glow in the dark!. An awesome set to build and an even better set to build, especially w/ another person. A lot of fun little mysteries w. this one. You won't regret buying this for your kid or yourself. Great product right here, a must have for this set!
My son and I spent much time collecting each piece of the Lego Monster Fighters Set. They look wonderful on shelves in his room!
This set was the most disappointing of them. The only reason I would not recommend is because playing with it requires me fixing it every time it is moved. The base of this is so flimsy. I finally took a bunch of flat pieces and really strengthened the bottom. Now it is better and the details are great. I mean I love all the Monster Fighter sets, but when you spend $100 you don't want to pull other pieces just to fix it.
i bought this set for me and my 5 year old daughter to build.it was a fun build,we just got into legos and we have purchased all of the monster fighters sets so far except the haunted house which i am here today on the shops website to order.anyway,the set is good fun,the only gripe i have about it is as soon as my daughter gets done playing with it,i have to spend an hour or so putting the thing back together.which i guess isnt bad considering its a building set.but,the set looks cool and people love checking it out.
This set has a series of little details that make him valuable. Not just the minifigures, but also the traps. the barricade on the gate is really cool, the trap door in the tower might get stuck sometimes, but despite that it's a very nice addition. The only problem with the castle is it's fragility... You can't grab it too hard, or touch somethings without care or it will fell apart. But despite from that, it's a really cool set, and if it is just for display, it looks amazing wherever it is placed.
This is an absolutely spectacular set. The minifigures are adorable and fun, it's an interesting and exciting build that can be done with a friend, and the glow-in-the dark detailing adds the perfect finish. It's a complex project that could take all afternoon. Once it's put together it makes a fantastic Halloween decoration. The moonstones are colorful and fun, as are the cauldron ingredients, and the pipe organ and canopy bed are wonderful. Definitely a good use of your Lego money.
its not that intresting because the floor broke when i moved it and the characters are ok the bride is a lego piece for the legs so it easily breaks but it does have one good thing size but that is also a problem like a said it can easily break so build it were u want it to stay or it will fall apart but also the skeloton is and yes i spelled it wrong no good the arms fall off and he cant really move but still good a little pricy more like 50$ so not a hundred but any way good luck
Along with the Vampyre Castle, this is one of the first two sets I've purchased as an adult. Thank you LEGO for making sets that appealed to my inner child. This set has great details and fantastic play and story options. (I'm thinking of building an equivalent to the level with the Moonstone Device to swap out to use the Castle with model train layout at Christmas.) Love the mini-figures and car. The hidden staircase, trap door, organ and the coffin are great touches.
I just completed the Haunted House and could hardly wait to add this to my collection. Fewer pieces than the Haunted House but a lot less sturdy. The car is my favorite as it is built to last. I felt the castle was a little less reinforced and seemed to want to break apart easier than I liked. But all in all I liked the final out come but only the older grandkids will be able to play with it..
The is the second Lego set I have put together. My next will be the train.
I love that there are so many things to do with this castle, so many different moving parts and little surprises. It was fun to build, and is fun to play with. There are a lot of bricks I have never seen before, and I love the glow-in-the-dark elements. The downside to this castle is that it feels more fragile than other Lego sets I have built. The spires are the most fragile part, and fall off too easily, and overall, I think it could just be a bit more sturdy.
This set is one of the monster fighters series and is cracked up to be the best of them, it's certainly the most expensive (not counting the haunted house). I mean; it's a little expensive and it isn't £80:00 of set. Yet it comes close.
pros: lovely detail,
superb minifigures,
love the moonstone device
cons:stickers don't glow in the dark,
counting the graveyard there are 7 moonstones it has space for 6,
the rooms are small for your hand
The detail on this product is absolutely smashing! From the characters to the castle accessories...this is the most fun we've had building any set. Really great features include the potion making cauldron complete with toad and snake, "velvet" curtains framing a coffin, and a car with a net catapult that works great. When it isn't played with (and it's played with a lot) it makes a fantastic focal point for our Halloween decorations.

My uncle did not include his bank account in his trust and did not name a beneficiary at the bank. My mother is the main beneficiary on the trust and will. How long will if take in California to gain access to his funds?
If the bank account plus other assets that were not in the name of the trust are worth less than $150,000 then your mother can file a "small estates affidavit" with the bank 45 days after your uncle's death. If the assets that were not in the name of the trust are worth more than $150K, then they will need to be probated. That will take a minimum of 6 months, but probably several months more than that.
Your mother should contact a competent estate planning/probate lawyer to assist her.See question
fiduciary office to fulfill the duties of the named conservator? This would be similar to a paralegal working on behalf of an attorney. I need to know if this is allowed and if not how to bring it to the attention of the court for removal due to...
It is common for a conservator to have the authority to hire people to assist him/her. Having assistance would not be grounds for removal unless there were other factors involved.
I don't handle conservatorships, but there are many competent attorneys in San Mateo County who do. If you have concerns about the way the conservator is handling his/her responsibilities (other than merely hiring people to assist), I suggest you schedule a meeting with one of them.See question
I filed death certificate and will today with probate court
Filing the will with the probate court does nothing to initiate the probate; it merely fulfills a state requirement that a will be "lodged" with the probate court after the death of the person who created the will (the "testator" in legalese).
A probate is only started by filing a petition to probate the estate. Once the petition has been filed, the court assigns a hearing date. The probate code says the hearing date cannot be "less than 30 days nor more than 45 days" after the date the petition was filed. In practice, the first probate hearing is never less than 30 days after the petition is filed (because it would violate the statute if it were) - but many times it takes more than 45 days to obtain the initial hearing date.
If you need assistance with the probate, please phone my office. I recently completed a probate in Sacramento County, and I have probated estates in many California counties, as far away as Mendocino and San Diego.See question

I agree with the other two attorneys. But assuming this is a real question, the place to start is to look at what the will says about survivorship ... is the beneficiary required to survive the testator by 30 days? Until distribution of the estate? Something else?
If this is a real question and the beneficiary's estate has not been probated yet, please contact my office. We would be happy to assist.See question
I'm a 1/3 beneficiary of a family trust, the Trustee is not answering my questions, I do have a copy of the California trust, but don't know what's in it or what he is doing with the assets. What are the legal requirements for the Trustee reportin...
If the trust has become irrevocable (usually that occurs when the person who created it dies, unless the trust was made irrevocable at the time it was created), you have the right to periodic accountings. If you have requested an accounting and the trustee has failed to provide one, you can file a "petition to compel an accounting" with the probate court in the county where the trustee resides.
Be aware that you will need to pay your own legal fees in connection with the petition, but the trustee is entitled to have the trust pay his fees in most cases.See question
My Mother passed in January, I am the executor in her will. The bank has my brother as benificiary

Properties are located in Alameda county. Questions: 1. Do I need a lawyer to transfer 1 & 2 in my name? 2. What is the tax basis for the two type of titles? The land is held in joint tenancy w/o right of survivorship? The land has not incre...
Mr. Johnson's answer is correct for non-community property assets, but community property is entitled to a "double step up" in cost basis. If it is titled as joint tenancy, it is quite possible to petition the court to have it declared "community property held in joint tenancy form".

Your question doesn't really provide a lot of information to go on. Was the house held in the name of a trust? Why do you have to split the money between your sister and yourself? Did the trust terminate upon the sale of the house? Why does an attorney need "paper work"? Did s/he say what kind of "paper work"? If it's your attorney, is there a reason you aren't asking him/her these questions?
Please provide more information.See question
In the trust my father said she can stay in the house up to 2 years (she pays mortgage and utilities) (I have to help with taxes and maintenance) then she has first right to buy out our 1/2 of the house. The intent was to give her time to pack up,...
As Mr. Murillo says, if the trust gives your stepmother 2 years to move, then she has 2 years. Sometimes a trust will have other provisions, though, such as a limitation on who else can live there or whether the person living there is responsible for all costs associated with the house or even if s/he has to pay rent.
I disagree with Mr. Murillo regarding who the trustee is ... even though it is "usual" to name the other spouse as trustee, that isn't always the case - it's certainly not a legal requirement that the other trustee be named as the trustee.
So assuming you are the trustee of 1/2 the trust (most likely your father's portion), you will have the ability to "enforce" the terms of the trust when the time comes. Enforcing the trust will probably involve having to file what's known as a "partition" action to force the sale of the house. Unfortunately, if your stepmother doesn't cooperate in cleaning out the mess, you will end up with a lower price when the house is sold - but your stepmother will end up with a lower price, too, so she'll have some incentive to clean things up at that time.
I suggest you contact a knowledgeable estate planning lawyer. If s/he is familiar with partition actions, that would be all the better (usually, a real estate lawyer handles partition actions, so your best bet might be someone who does both - or a small law firm where one lawyer handles estate planning and one of the other lawyers handles real estate litigation).See question
the other executor has not filled anything in the succession asking to be appointed
I am not an Arkansas lawyer, but in California petitioning to be appointed as executor when one of the executors has failed to act would not be considered a contest ... usually a contest has to do with claiming you're entitled to a greater share of the assets than the will gives you.
Check with a knowledgeable probate lawyer in Arkansas to be sure.See question
