A Writing Life
By JOANNA SMITH RAKOFF
Published: February 16, 2003
ON the corkboard above Beth Ann Bauman's desk, a washed-out photograph hangs from a tack: Ms. Bauman, age 2, stares out at the camera, her blue eyes stubborn and searching, her mouth pressed into a resolute line. ''I love how stoic I look,'' she said, fingering the edge of the picture.
At 38, Ms. Bauman knows something of stoicism. Like so many young men and women over the years, she came to New York to be a writer. For the past decade, she has lived in a West Village studio and worked as an $11-an-hour temp to support herself, barely. She has watched her friends publish books, have babies, buy houses, get tenure.
She has spent her days sending faxes and watering plants for lawyers and junior vice presidents in the city's anonymous office towers, among them the World Trade Center, in a 105th-floor office of Cantor Fitzgerald where she worked until just a few days before the attack of Sept. 11. Her nights were spent at her desk working on draft after draft of stories about funny, smart young women, many of them New Yorkers, in various stages of life.
Finally, those nights have paid off, and Ms. Bauman has become one of those few writers whose labors see daylight. Next month, her first book, a collection of stories titled ''Beautiful Girls,'' will be published by MacAdam/Cage, a small San Francisco firm. The stories have been nearly 10 years in the making, a period in which Ms. Bauman has sacrificed much of her social and financial life.
''I'm so consumed by this, by writing stories, by trying to arrive somewhere as a writer,'' she said. ''Sometimes, when I look back on everything, on how long it took me to get where I am, I'm just overwhelmed.''
In 1992, Ms. Bauman moved to New York to write a novel, armed with a master of fine arts degree, a dossier of stories praised by her professors and an unwavering belief in her own abilities. ''I began temping because I don't have any skills,'' she explained. ''Writing was it.''
A waiflike blonde, Ms. Bauman in person is rather like her stories. She moves around her little apartment like a slender cat, making cups of peppermint tea, laying out plates of cookies that she will not eat (refined sugar rarely passes her lips), pulling well-worn photographs from a carefully organized box of memorabilia.
Outside her apartment, which is on Seventh Avenue near 14th Street, sirens wail and car horns blare. Ms. Bauman has learned to shut out the racket and enter the world of her stories, which she writes, at times, on her soft brown couch, a pad on her lap, clad in pajamas.
Writing was the last thing her parents expected, or hoped, she would do to make a living. Ms. Bauman grew up in Metuchen, N.J.; her father was a police officer, her mother a secretary. A writing workshop at Richard Stockton College in southern New Jersey made her want to be a writer. After graduation, she moved back in with her parents, wrote stories and waited on tables.
The following year, she entered Brooklyn College's master of fine arts program, didn't like it much and transferred to the University of Arizona. In 1992, after three years in Arizona, she moved to New York.
The novelist Mary Elsie Robertson, Ms. Bauman's mentor at Arizona, had pegged her as one of the few who would make it.
''At a place like Arizona, the students are all fairly talented,'' Ms. Robertson said, ''but there was something really special about Beth's work. There was a quirky quality to it. But she also has that absolute persistence. She is a writer, she has to write and she will, at all costs.''
Ms. Robertson didn't imagine, however, that it would be more than a dozen years before her prize student published a book. She assumed Ms. Bauman would follow the traditional route for M.F.A. graduates: publish stories in small literary magazines, land an agent, publish stories in glossy magazines, teach, publish a novel.
Soon after Ms. Bauman's arrival in New York, that's the way things were headed. In 1994, she took a writing workshop with the novelist Michael Cunningham, a few years before ''The Hours'' propelled him to the upper echelons of literary fame. (''She clearly had a gift,'' Mr. Cunningham said recently of his student, ''and she became a sort of monster of determination.'')
In class she met a Daily News reporter, Karen Avenoso, who was so taken with Ms. Bauman's work that she called an agent friend named Tina Bennett. Ms. Bennett, of Janklow & Nesbit Associates, later became famous for securing a $1 million advance for Malcolm Gladwell's book ''The Tipping Point,'' but at the time she was pretty much of an unknown.
''I was just starting out then,'' Ms. Bennett recalled. ''Karen said: 'There is this writer in the group who is just so much better than the others. You've got to take a look at her stuff.' Beth sent me her stories, and I loved them.''
But short story collections are hard sells. Ms. Bennett told Ms. Bauman that she wasn't interested in taking on a collection, but asked her to send along the novel she was working on when it was done.
''I called it 'the long thing,''' Ms. Bauman said with a laugh. ''Tina would call and check in with me. She would say, 'How's that long thing coming?'''
The long thing never came to be. Ms. Bauman went back to writing stories, and author and agent mostly fell out of touch.
Poverty Becomes Less Cute
The years passed. Weeks and months blurred into one another: days at the office, nights at the computer.

Tech Games: Overdue Reviews
posted by March 25 at 12:33 PMon
Not sure what I'm more torn up by as of late—the lack of the Games column in recent print editions of the Stranger, or the lack of the neighboring Porns column. ("These are a few of my favorite things…") Either way, we're coming up on three months of uncovered games since the last piece printed, and I figure today's as good a day as any to start catching up—PC gamers got a World of Warcraft update today, while 360 nuts get a free Halo 3 update of their own. Those games don't need the pub, though, so here goes.
Burnout Paradise (360, PS3) - The latest in the "smash into other cars to drive faster" racing series came out back in January. This is much more my speed than an ultra-realistic Gran Turismo-style racer; you're dropped into a single, mega-sized city and given the freedom to do as you wish (along with cars that heal themselves after every crash). It's a Hot Wheels dream—find street races at stop lights that unlock new cars, look for hidden ramps to do unrealistic jumps through billboards, seek out the city's hidden roads and stunt pits. There are plenty of races and objectives for completists, along with smooth online modes, both competitive and co-op. But I'm more impressed with the freedom to potz around if you're not into the whole competition/goals thing—the game is so huge and plays so smoothly, you can lose hours just cruising, jumping and wrecking for the helluvit. Only problem is, the game's city has a boring stretch of boonies on its west side, so if you take on a race that leads you that way, there's no easy warping out; you have to drive every mile back to the bustling, busy, shortcut-filled downtown. Virtual boonies? Isn't that what Big Buck Hunter's for? Other than that, this game has had surprising legs—I'm loading it up two months later and still enjoying the aimless, high-speed wreckin'. Recommendation: Best arcade racer I've played in a while. Buy if you're into that sorta thing. (Bonus - EA's adding more to the city map in a few weeks with a free download.)
Professor Layton and the Curious Village (DS) - Brainteasers on the go, but unlike DS edu-games like Brain Age, the teasers are slipped into a cartoony adventure/mystery. The presentation comes off like an Anime take on The Triplets of Belleville, meaning there's great art style depicting a little European village and its bizarre shopkeeps who, for whatever reason, cannot think for themselves. The puzzles range from cookie-cutter to hair-pulling, and a few have nonsensical solutions that must've been translated terribly from a Japanese version, but most of them average out to keep an adult challenged at a reasonable level (bonus—jot down brainstorming notes on the touch-screen while you're thinking them over). Recommendation: Though the game's not worth playing after you beat it, you'll get a few good weeks of really nice on-the-bus play, which is probably worth the $30 for the typical adult DS owner. However, DO NOT PLAY if you hate math or trick questions.
Next time: Xbox 360 RPG Lost Odyssey, along with Army of Two if Jonah and I can get through some of its co-op gunplay. Poor Jonah's Xbox 360 melted down nearly 30 days ago, and he still hasn't gotten his warranty replacement. Last I heard, the thing was stuck in McAllen, TX, due to flooding in the area. That's what I call Vista speed!

Claudette Schreuders
Claudette Schreuders, who lives and works in South Africa, is known for her distinctive carved and painted wooden sculptures which, as Okwui Enwezor has observed, 'propose a new language resulting from a synthesis of African and European figural forms'. This major monograph brings together Schreuders' works of the last 17 years, tracing her investigations into self-identity, isolation and belonging through the rich narratives of her various figurative groups.

The concierge desk at the airport was a really nice touch and helped us feel at home from the start. The free transfer to the reception was well organised and the Reef View reception area was very welcoming (note WiFi only available in reception areas not rooms). The handy resort map was a lifesaver while we were there.
Whilst it seemed to be school holidays there did always seem to be sun loungers available around the pools and the beach if you wanted one. The choice of pools was good and the 3m deep one was almost totally empty which was great for adults. The beach was best experienced at high tide as other reviewers have said, the low tide isn't too impressive.
The bus transport around the island was really well organised whereas the restaurant booking was less so. Couldn't get into premium restaurants for our whole trip so for dinner we visited Romanos italian twice (excellent), the Manta Ray cafe for pizza once and Sails one. If you do not have children and enjoy a proper dining experience with quiet time as a couple over dinner avoid Sails at dinner time like the plague. A glorified canteen! However, excellent breakfast there so definitely try it for breakfast. Best lunch was Pool Terrace club sandwich although the wraps at the Wild Life cafe were good. Lovely ice cream at the parlour (which says it closes at 10pm but realistically get there before 9.45pm). Make reservations at the bookable restaurants as far in advance as you can.
Rooms were great value for money with loads of space and excellent facilities. We found the air conditioning very quiet compared to other places we've stayed but we may have been lucky given other reviewers. Beds were comfy with lots of pillows and suitable bedding. Really good to have a bungalow to yourself it felt really cosy and exclusive.
We didn't hire a buggy because the bungalows are so well situated for everything and the bus service is excellent. We booked a trip aboard the catamaran "On the Edge". It was the best organised boat tour we've ever been on. They knew all about the tides, winds, best spots and were very democratic about what people's priorities were. Felt safe at all times and in their very capable hands. Food and drink purchasing aboard was well organised so you paid at the end which meant not having to fiddle around with cash all day.
Would have been a five rating if the beach had been nice all day long, the snorkelling had been better, the dinner options better/more available, WiFi in the rooms and the room had been a little more up to date.

Hi I am having an issue with the simple side nav widget. I have a 2 tier side nav, and I'm trying to style the Parent li (or a) tag of the current_page_item child li tag. (hopefully that made sense).
The current_page_item works fine, however, if you current page is a child page, then the parent pages class of (current_page_item) disappears and just reads page_item, which makes it hard to style differently.
Does anyone know of a way to add a custom class to the parent li tag??

text: This Month's Staff Picks Freedom Freedom By Jaycee Dugard By Jaycee Dugard In the follow-up to her #1 bestselling memoir, A Stolen Life, Jaycee Dugard tells the story of her first experiences after years in captivity: the joys that accompanied her newfound freedom and the challenges of adjusting to life on her own.When Jaycee Dugard was eleven years old, she was abducted from a school bus stop within sight of her home in South Lake Tahoe, California. She was missing for more than eighteen years, held captive by Philip and Nancy Garrido, and gave birth to two daughters during her imprisonment. A Stolen Life, which sold nearly two million copies, told the story of Jaycee's life from her abduction in 1991 through her reappearance in 2009. Freedom: My Book of Firsts is about everything that happened next. "How do you rebuild a life?" Jaycee asks. In these pages, she describes the life she never thought she would live to see: from her first sight of her mother to her first time meeting her grownup sister, her first trip to the dentist to her daughters' first day of school, her first taste of champagne to her first hangover, her first time behind the wheel to her first speeding ticket, and her first dance at a friend's wedding to her first thoughts about the possibility of a future relationship. This raw and inspiring book will remind readers that there is, as Jaycee writes, "life after something tragic happens…Somehow, I still believe that we each hold the key to our own happiness and you have to grab it where you can in whatever form it might take."

I'll be attempting the 7 hour drive down in my Volvo..
Nothing really to contribute here but I used to see this on my way to work every morning at my old job and it made me go 6 to midnight
This reference made me :laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:
Bump for a good guy and a MINT set of wheels!!
Also depends what kid of tires you use. Some smoke WAY more than others, and I have no question in my mind those lasted that whole course easily. It was only 3 minutes or so..
HELL. YEAH. Nice pics man!! Love to see more strip shots than anything else!! :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:
Did dude just say you bought an S2K when you could have gotten a Boxster? Boxster? BOXSTER? REALLY??
I am going to go ahead and guess he has never driven an S2.
Damn seacrets stole my phone and all my money..or maybe it was me drinking to much.
Whenever I go to a tire place I just don't even mention about it being stretched. I just hand them the tire and wheel and say "here can you mount this I have money" and 99% of the time it works...
I want to go ahead and guess 90% of people in here have not ridden or driven a car with bags. I hated air at first and said I would never do it, but one of my good friends bagged his MK5 GTI.....
Can't wait!!
SO DOWN for those when they come out!!
I REALLY want a set of these but a little bit wider like 9 or 10 for my volvo...
You guys planning on doing wider ones in 18"??
WOW!! You are a true hero weather you believe it or not. You did something that probably 99% of people on the road would never do. Many...
I want these ssssoooo bad!!
If you go to H20 to "WIN CAR SHOWS" you are doing it wrong. If you cannot enjoy yourself without knowing if you won in your class, I don't know what to tell ya. I have gone for 5 years now and...
Will be there in my Volvo 244!! Last year it was an awesome meet!!
Euro Slutfest sounds like a good time.
Did anyone else notice the crushed can of Bud heavy right next to the daughter as well?
Spectacular. :thumbup:

For some reason I have been experiencing a few problems with my blog. At some point during the last few days my header reverted back to the default blue background header. If I go into the admin panel, Presentation >> Header image and color, the tabs do not function correctly. The font tab works fine but the upper and lower color do not work at all.
This is what I need. I either need to get the header theme editor working somehow or I need to know how to manually edit the code so that I can display different colors rather than rubbish blue..
These are the 2 colors I require in the header:
Upper: #FF6600
Lower: #FFE7C6
If you can help in anyway or you have experienced similar problems I would like to hear.

This does not auto escape value:

I think the auto escaping should work in both cases.

On second thought, perhaps this is invalid.
It's to do with the order in which substitution is done. In the first example the substitution is done before translation, which doesn't make sense in most cases anyway.

- Component changed from Template system to Internationalization
- Resolution invalid deleted
- Status changed from closed to reopened
- Triage Stage changed from Unreviewed to Accepted
I believe your initial report more than your conclusion. :-)
It seems somewhat inconsistent and I can't really see why the behaviours should be different. Your comment seems to explain why they are different due to the implementation, but that's not necessarily good behaviour. I'm going to reopen this, because we need better behaviour here. At the very least, this would have to be something that was very clearly documented, but it's going to take a bit to convince me that the two versions should just behave exactly the same way.
comment:3 Changed 8 years ago by gruffudd
If I understand correctly, one of the downsides of adding auto escaping to the first example is that the po file would potentially need html-entitied strings in msgid="bla&bla" in order for a translation to match.
Not doing it, however, means a potential xss hole if somebody forgets to specify the variable in the blocktrans tag.

Resign -
Barry Sims - OT
Aubrayo Franklin - NT
Ahmed Brooks - DE/LB
Walt Harris - CB/S
Free Agent Signings - All of these signings are UFAs with or without the CBA.
Brandon Manumaleuna - TE - Chargers
- Addresses our need for a blocking TE.
Bobbie Williams - OG/OT - Bengals
- We may overpay a bit for Williams services, but he'll be worth every penny at the RG spot of the line. The Bengals may be reluctant to shell out the extra cash since Andre Smith can take over that spot. This could be our "Alan Faneca" type signing to bolster our offensive line, and take it to the next level. Fits the mold of a Solari type OL player.
Kassim Osgood - WR/ST - Chargers
- With the purge of Battle and Bruce off the roster, and the lack of tall WR at the position, Osgood provides a force on special teams, and a potential red zone target with his 6-5 200+ frame. Since Brandon Jones isn't guaranteed the #3 role at this point, Osgood may find the SF 49ers a good landing spot for his services. Pro-bowl player!
Cut -
DeMetric Evans - DT/DE
Jason Hill - WR (surprise cut)
NFL Draft -
R1: C.J. Spiller - RB/KR - Clemson
- I don't buy the assumption that Spiller will be available at our #16/17 pick. If you look at past 3-4 drafts, you'll see that at least 1 RB has been taken in the top 15. With a two-back system that good teams utilize (Jets, Ravens, Panthers, Chargers), don't assume you can get a similar offensive weapon in the later routes. Not only is Spiller a dangerous weapon in the running game AND passing game, but he's got legit skills at kick and punt returning.
R1: Bryan Bulaga - OT - Iowa
- With our OG and KR/PR/RB holes filled, we now address our critical hole at right tackle. While I would hope Trent Williams is available, Bulaga is an excellent RT prospect and comes from a program that is known for grooming legit OLmen.
R2: Chad Jones - S - LSU
- With Goldson, R. Smith, and Lewis on the depth chart, the 49ers can afford to take a raw but full of potential safety that has prototypical size and speed for the SS position. A playmaker on defense, Jones also has special teams value as a returner.
R3: O'Brien Schofield - DE/LB - Wisconsin
- Schofield oozes with potential in the 3-4 defense as an OLB. With the competition between Lawson and Brooks, we now can add some competition with Haralson. Since I can't get Matt Roth, the badger will have to do.
R4: Mike Neal - DT/NT Purdue
- After a strong performance at the East-West shrine game, Neal's stock could go up. At the same time, the influx of underclassmen declaring could push him down. If you consider both, it evens out. While Neal may be a better fit at the 4-3 DT position, I think he could be a potential NT prospect behind Franklin. At the very least, he could be a serviceable 3-4 DE.
R5: Pat Angerer - ILB - Iowa
- Depth at the TED position
R6: Alric Arnett - WR - West Virginia
- Projects to be a nice role player behind Morgan.
R7: Chris Hawkins - CB - LSU
- Depth at CB to replace Marcus Hudson.

One quick note. The Properganda achievement you should list as glitched or as a high risk. It's happening to a fair few people where upon getting the last poster or sign its not unlocking.
Now I'm not sure if this has something to do with gaining the rest via chapter select or what but mine just glitched. If someone got them them all in one playthrough and the achievement unlocked then it may be the issue.
Though the business cards are fine whatever way you talks them. From reading a few threads it seems like the only fix is another quick (3hr max) playthrough on easy grabbing them all in one go again. Hopefully this should fix it. Though a recovered gamertag might boot the achievement?
Sorry, wasn't home yesterday.
I didn't get all of them on one playthrough, so I had to get the rest via chapter select. I still got the achievements, though. It seems to be related to switching difficulty a lot, I've noticed. I never played on anything below normal. A lot of people might switch to "easy" to get these propaganda tags and business cards, which might also be related to how many of the achievements are "normal or above". There's no 100% reproduction yet, but I'll include that hey are at risk. Recovered gamertags
to fix it, but it's sort of a 50/50. TAI JASON had this issue. You might want to send him a PM, since he was able to get his stuck achievements without replaying the game.
I'll edit that now, thanks!

This is a chart for Nikol Lohr's Woodland Shawl stitch pattern. I knew I'd be hopeless with the written instructions so I charted the stitch pattern with Jacquie's KnitChart.
rozbud113, joellenc11, imochan, and 159 other people added this photo to their favorites.
Thank you so much for putting this chart together. I began working on this pattern last night and grew increasingly frustrated. Now I have this handy chart! My frustration will be over. :-)
wow! this is great, just the sort of way I love to see patterns. Thank you!
This is great. Just one question, and i feel really dumb b/c I can't figure it out: What do the numbers to the right of the row numbers mean? I think they have something to do with stitches lost or gained from the row before, but I'm just not sure.
ETA: Okay, nevermind. That's exactly what the numbers mean. I just spent a minute actually concentrating on the chart and figured that out. :)
thank you for sharing.. here's mine so far.
Thanks. I'm a chart knitter!
Thank you...........
thanks for taking the time to do this & for sharing!
i love your chart but i'm confused p1/k1 [ square with dot] and k1/p1 [suare] we ca do it both? saichalee
it means K right side P wrong side for the blank square
and P right side and K wrong side for the dotted square.
This should then keep your pattern in order and working right and wrong side of the knitting. Once you've got the pattern working it will be easy to see the difference.
Thank you, so much, for doing this.
Thank you!
I was comparing the chart and the written instructions and there seems to be inconsistencies. The written instructions state that "SK2P" means slip 1, k2tog, psso, while the chart legend shows those stitches as slip2, k1, p2sso. Also, the written instructions say "SKP" equals slip 1, knit 1, psso, while the chart legend shows those stitches as SSK, which usually means, slip 2 stitches knitwise one at a time and then knit them through the back loop. I don't know if it makes any difference in the finished project, though.
Yes! A pattern that is chart only! I cant bear it when you get charts and instructions together which do not go together, and there are plenty of those on the Rav!
This is a simple chart but which knits easily. It reminds me of Totally Autumn -A.Hanson in that it is easy enough to knit while watching television but enough variation not to be totally mindless.
Thank you so much!
Will share pics once finished.
thank you¡
thanks so much for this. I too am a a chart knitter, and this is easier to read and cart about with the project. Plus I was reminded that SSK and SKP basically lean in the same direction, but SSK is easier to TINK. Because I know I'll make mistakes and have to go back.
I have now seen the light with regard to knitting from chart instead of instructions. Much easier for this kind of project! Thank you!
Hurrah for charts!
Fabulous! Thanks so much for doing this.

Explaining Myself in a Panel–and Missing Work
Kevin Hudson spent almost four years at ServiceMaster as an IT finance director. When the company relocated to Memphis in January 2008, Mr. Hudson, 52, decided not to move. Previously, Mr. Hudson worked as an independent IT consultant and spent 21 years at Ameritech. He lives in Oak Lawn, a suburb of Chicago, with his wife and has three children.
Last week, I once again had the opportunity to be a panelist. This time, it was for a session titled Dealing with IT Employee Layoffs which was part of a two-day CIO Forum & Executive IT Summit. A Chicago-based reader of this blog was the moderator of the panel discussion and invited me to participate.
Prior to the conference, I prepared for the opportunity to network with my target audience–CIOs and senior IT executives. I finally did what I had put off for quite some time; I had business cards printed. I also prepared to do something that does not come naturally; talking to total strangers and networking.
On day two my session was held. The first speaker provided suggestions as to how organizations should plan for layoffs. Best practices were shared for improved communication, what to do on the day of the layoff and how to improve relationships with the employees left behind to shoulder the workload. The second speaker spoke to the alternatives companies should consider and pursue prior to resorting to layoffs. I then gave a first-hand perspective on what it is like to be in transition.
Since the audience was comprised of mainly senior executives, I guessed that the majority of them had experienced a job loss at least once during their career. However, unlike the panel I was on a few months ago which was specifically for those in transition, few members of this audience were currently unemployed. While our session was sparsely attended (the competing session was about leadership development), I enjoyed sharing my own experiences.
At the conference itself, I had a chance to hear about what various companies are doing today to align strategies and prepare for the economic recovery. More importantly, it gave me the opportunity to network. I had conversations with more than a dozen people, and gave out my business cards to maybe half of them. So far nothing has come of this networking opportunity, but since you never know which connection is going to lead to that next great job, I am trying to increase my networking activity in general.
On the way home after the panel I realized how much I miss working with driven people who have common objectives. I was actually a bit depressed after hearing all of these IT leaders talk about the innovative things they were doing, as it served to remind me of just how much I want to get back in the game. The longer my search goes on, I fear that I am competing with increasing numbers of the more recently laid-off. At a networking meeting I attended last week, the room was packed and many were first-timers. While I believe that the economy has already hit bottom and is starting its uphill climb, I also hear the experts predicting that unemployment could rise still further before companies are confident enough to begin to fill openings that were placed on hold months ago. My hope is that I will not have to wait until year-end or longer for this to happen.

How do I sell a house I have been left in a Will please ?(22 Posts)
Me and my brother have been left a house in a will and want to sell it.
Does it go to probate (whatever that is?) or can we jut sell and then present the solicitor with a copy of the Will.
Can anyone help as I am very confused ?
Thank you
Once you have the official deeds in your hand, you can do what you like with it.
This is what happened with my parents house. You and your db will have to agree to market the house, choose agents, negotiating offers etc. you will both be equally responsible for this and both be required to sign any admin relating from the sale.
Do not let prospective purchasers know it is an inheritance if you can help it. They will be hoping you will take a lower price to be able to access your money. EA may tell them, but ask if they wouldn't. You can gain a few grand here.
Meant to say, all money and effects will be in the hands of the solicitors, and i presume there are executors whose job it is to make sure that the will is managed according to the wishes of the deceased.
You can't do anything until the house is officially passed to you, along with deeds.
Its just a waiting game, usually a couple of months if nothing holds it up.
Hope this helps a bit.
but in the meantime, you can smarten it up / clear out any "stuff" and give it a lick of paint or whatever might be needed to improve chances of a sale
it will be obvious that it is an inheritance. If it is very dated, might be worth some smartening up. The plus of these properties is that there really is no chain.
don't forget to get suitable empty property insurance in the meantime.
You need probate which, depending on the value of the estate is something you can do yourself. My DH has done DIY probate since seeing how much cash an elderly relative was charged for a basic estate following a death.
He and his brother were main beneficiaries, the executor was happy for him to sort things out. Bank, pensions, savings, valuables, house all sorted. Probate signed at local office (it's like an affidavit), sorted.
Good luck!
Many thanks for you replies.
There elm is that both me and my brother are the Will Executers and also the beneficiaries. We have the house deeds but they are in ours rents names. We also have a Will.
So what is the best thing todo?
How do you do a DIY probate please?
Many thanks,
Sorry bloomin' spellcheck!
That is the deeds are on our parents names! (Not rents and elm should be issue)
Sorry x
How straight forward is the estate? If its very simple then you can probably administer it yourself. But equally you can get a solicitor to sort it all out. I can't remember what we paid.
You or whoever does it needs to get all monies owed to the estate and pay off all debts. So it's really like a big admin job. I think first you have to apply for grant of probate though. If you google it there's a very clearly written page on the govt website that runs through the process. If you and your brother are busy I'd probably get a local recommended solicitor to do it. It can be time consuming.
Great - thank you. I think I am going to have a go at doing it myself.
Just one last query -
What if we sell the house and pay the money into my mums account of which I a, a joint account holder. Then split the moe y with my brother ? Would this be illegal ? Seems an easier way,
Any ideas?
We went through a local solicitor and the whole thing cost about 1k.
It was worth it though as suggested above, we were busy, living in a different area to the house. When we did go over to the house we were able to empty it and decorate which in itself took many weekends of work.
The admin even if the solicitor handles probate is quite time consuming, especially when dealing with house offers, estate agents etc.
We also thought it gave us peace of mind that it was all finalised legally and we hadn't missed anything. In the scheme of half a house a grand seemed like nothing.
Good luck OP, hope it all goes smoothly for you and your db.
I think (although I could be wrong) that you need to have an account for the estate. And it's probably the neatest way anyway. Why would you want to pay it into your mums account? Or is it her estate?
I think it depends on how much money you will receive. It could be fraudulent as Capital gains might be applicable.
Unless you are really clued up about how these things work, I would seriously avoid trying to do it yourself. I am not trying to put a dampner on it, but you could become really unstuck and end up far worse off than if you had used a solicitor. What does your db say, as executors you do both need to agree at every turn.
Maybe post in legal matters for proper advice?
Am amazed at the 1 grand cost. My mum died recently and the solicitor is charging £250 an hour plus VAt. She reckons it will be 15-20 hours. The will is not complicated (everything to Dad), is under Inheritance tax threshold and there is no debt.
Too late to change now, Dad basically just thought the solicitor they made wills with was the way to go.
I just took all Dads paperwork from his house, which was documented and accounted for every penny he spent. Most things he had put in place and had left details of every account and bill.
It took hardly any time for the solicitor to sort it out.
Also as executor I did quite a bit myself, which only needed solicitor to round it all up and ask for my and my sisters signature for things.
As another account closed he sent us a cheque for any amount owed to my Dad, so last pension, council tax rebate etc.
Thanks for that morethan, the solicitor took the details of accounts etc (not many) and this is where we are. My dad, at 80, would probably be worried if we weren't doing it 'properly'. But I now know for the future.
The other advantage of using a solicitor is that he can handle the house sale too - and pay you/brother the end 50/50 share. You dont want the 100% going into an account in your name, will make the tax man very suspicious when you later claim to only have received 50%.
I'm sure there is alot you can do to make maximise the sale price over the next few months- decoration, remove all rubbish, keep the garden neat, furnish rooms (with spares), wash curtains, remove nets, stream clean carpets, get written quotes for any work that is necessary, quotes for GCH, DG - all useful to potential buyers.
As its empty, insure and make secure.
Many thanks for all your guidance and advice. I am going to try to do the probate myself but if I struggle will get a solicitor.
I 'lll post on here how I got on.
You are not going to be able to sell the house without probate.
The solicitor dealing with the sale will want to deal with the person whose name the house is in, and will ask for ID, or to see the grant of probate. The buyer's solicitor will also check this. You can start the sale process off, but warn the buyer it might take longer to go through as you need probate before you exchange contracts
It is easy if it is a simple estate. Link here
I don't know about the house sale, but I sorted out other aspects of my dad's estate when he died in 2011. It is quite time consuming to do yourself, and if there had been more than about £4k in total, I would have been tempted to get a solicitor to help.
I don't think you can legally continue to use your joint account now your mum is dead. You need to notify the bank of her death, along with anyone else she had any financial transactions with, including the DWP for her pension, insurance cos, all direct debits, etc. The basic rule is that someone who has died can't make a financial transaction, so you need formal proof of your right to act for her - that's what probate is. You def can't sell the house without probate.
Good luck.

The lead singer of Sum 41 is turning into a garden gnome and we have pictures
If we are to heal as a country, the first thing we must come to terms with is this: the nu metal craze happened, and millions of otherwise level-headed Americans are to blame.
But hey, it's over now. Limp Bizkit's "Nookie" is but a painful, distant memory, and in the year 2013 Puddle of Mudd has only one "d," and it's something that lingers in your backyard after a rainstorm.
Still, the legacy of this dark chapter in American history remains, namely in the form of various "Where Are They Now?" retrospectives and Nickelback. Also, the fact that Deryck Whibley, the lead singer of Canadian pop-punk-rap outfit Sum 41 who became famous for about seven months in the early 2000s, is still able to get a hot girlfriend who would probably not be with him unless he was a celebrity with money.
Yes, Deryck Whibley. Remember? He was married to Avril Lavigne and also dated Paris Hilton, both after he sang the immortal lines "I don't want to waste my time/Become another casualty of society/I'll never fall in line/Become another victim of your conformity." Well, gee, Deryck.
Fast forward to 2013, and Deryck Whibley is rapidly (and I do mean rapidly) transforming into a garden gnome, and I do feel bad about pointing that out. But seriously, put a hat and a beard on him and it's not hard to see where I'm coming from. Before and after pictures below. (Photos via)

Hey everyone! Before things start going full swing in a few weeks, I figured I'd post an article summarizing the biggest changes that have taken place this offseason around the NHL. It's been a crazy last few weeks between the draft and free agency so let's get right to it!Please, blog, may I have some more?
Hey guys! Sadly, the season has come to an end with the Pittsburgh Penguins winning the Stanley Cup. Almost everyone but Kris Letang screwed their fantasy owners this season but that didn't stop them from putting together an excellent performance throughout the playoffs.Please, blog, may I have some more?
Hey guys. Before my posting becomes more sparingly throughout May, June and July, I went through my top 10 players for next season here on Wednesday. Now, I'm going to go through 11-20 covering the end of the first round and most of the second round in standard leagues. Let's get right to it!Please, blog, may I have some more?
I mentioned in Monday's article here that on Wednesday, I was going to put out my top 10 for next season. Well here we are! It's still 5+ months away from the start of next season so it's obvious that plenty of things can change, but what the hell!? I'd like to get this out early to generate more conversation in the comments section again. I'm going to do 11-20 on Friday and stop there until August when we get back into the full swing of things (there will be some content coming out in the summer including a draft recap and free agency preview / recap). Without further adieu, my top 10!Please, blog, may I have some more?
After Saturday, the Blues have to be sitting around thinking "no, not again." After going up 3-1 in the series, the Blues came back in game 5 with 2 goals in the third only to lose in double overtime to who else, Patrick Kane.Please, blog, may I have some more?
Let's play a quick game. Goalie A, in 32 games and 29 starts, won 18 games with a 2.27 GAA and .924 save percentage. Goalie B, in 54 games and 53 starts, had 23 wins, a 2.51 GAA and .918 sv%. Looks like you'd choose A pretty easily, correct? Just 5 less wins in 24 less starts with better percentages. Goalie A is Michal Neuvirth and Goalie B is Steve Mason. I have been calling for Neuvirth to get more action all season (half of those starts were when Mason was out) and after Mason made a fool of himself in game 2 and was lit up for 6 in game 3, Neuvirth got a chance with the Flyers' season on the line. He stopped 31 of 32 shots in the 2-1 win and kept the team alive for at least a couple more days. Neuvirth played very well on a tanking Sabres team and continued his success in Philly this year. I think there's a starting goalie here so it'll be interesting to see what happens with him in the offseason. Here's what else around the league Wednesday night:Please, blog, may I have some more?
I know that Jonathan Drouin couldn't have handled his demotion any worse than he did but it still blows my mind that he was sent down to the AHL in the first place. The former third overall pick was amazing on Tuesday night tallying three assists and four shots in Tampa's 3-2 win over the Red Wings. The biggest issue for Drouin in the past was been his lack of shots and while I know it's a small sample size, every game in the playoffs he's taken at least 3 shots. Did the 21 year old make all of the necessary adjustments to succeed on a regular basis? It sure looks like it. As far as next season goes, the sky is the limit. Drouin's upside is virtually uncapped. He'll certainly be in my top 100 and from there, it depends how much you want to gamble on upside versus safety. Here's what else I saw around the league the last two nights:Please, blog, may I have some more?
Throughout the season, J.T. Miller was one of my favorite streamers. The former first round pick who will play on the North American team in the World Cup of Hockey had 22 goals and 21 assists in the regular season with a solid plus-minus and penalty minutes; it was only his lack of shots that kept him from being a hold all year. Miller had his first big playoff game on Saturday dishing three assists and adding a shot and two PIM in the 4-2 win over the Penguins. There's upside for a better year next season (he just turned 23) so I'd look to take Miller with one of my last picks in drafts in the late summer / early fall. Here's what else I saw around the league this weekend:Please, blog, may I have some more?
Hey guys. The first two nights of The Stanley Cup Playoffs have been filled with drama and outstanding performances. Anytime somebody scores a hat trick in the playoffs, it's worth noting so Patric Hornqvist gets the lead here. The Penguins right winger, who had a disappointing season compared to ADP, came out as a man on a mission Wednesday night scoring a hat trick on four shots and added an assist in the 5-2 win over the Rangers. This series could turn ugly fast if Henrik Lundqvist misses any more time (more on that later). Hornqvist was in my top 50 going into the season along with the rest of the Penguins studs and ended up 60th in overall value in the player rater. Considering he played all 82 games, that's not the value we were looking for. As for next season, he's obviously in the top 100 but I expect him to settle outside of the top 50, somewhere between 50 and 75. The shots are great and everything else should be solid so there's value there but it doesn't look like he's going to be a guy who has a good chance of reaching 30+ goals, which looked like a good bet when he went to the Penguins. Could he do it? Sure, if things go right and he sticks with Sidney Crosby. But I'd rather wait until the end of the 5th or 6th round to find out. Here's what else I saw in the other games:Please, blog, may I have some more?
Hello everyone. Today, I'm going to take a look at the top 20 overall defensemen on the season based on the ESPN player rater for the categories used in the RCL's. I decided to start with defensemen because the top 10 and 20 from the preseason were the first two articles I wrote for Razzball. You can find the top 10 here and the top 20 here if you want to have them open while you read this. While there were some surprises in the teens, the most part the rankings were very close for the most part. The top 11 overall defenseman were all in my top 17. Let's get to it!Please, blog, may I have some more?

I'm working on a rather CPU-intensive web application. I've started using
-webkit-transform: translate3d(0, 0, 0) on certain elements to improve average framerates, as suggested by http://davidwalsh.name/translate3d and http://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/speed/html5/, among others. This tweak makes a pretty significant difference in rendering performance, particularly in Chrome.
If I apply this technique to a single animated element, does it trigger hardware acceleration for the entire page, or just for that element? Or perhaps it only triggers hardware acceleration for that element's rendering layer?
Studying the output of Chrome's "Composited render layer borders" (in
chrome://flags) seems to suggest that the behavior is limited to the specified element, but it'd be nice to have a more concrete answer.

Novozymes Gains as Morgan Stanley Sees Value: Copenhagen Mover
Novozymes A/S, the world's largest maker of enzymes used to produce biofuel, led today's biggest gainers among Copenhagen's benchmark stocks after Morgan Stanley said the biobusiness unit is undervalued.
Novozymes rose as much as 1.7 percent, making it the biggest winner in the OMKXC20 Index of 20 companies. The stock advanced 1.4 kroner, or 0.9 percent, to 162.50 kroner at 11:07 a.m. in the Danish capital.
Bagsvaerd, Denmark-based Novozymes plans to boost the unit's revenue six-fold by 2018 partly through acquisitions. The division, which makes microorganisms used for fertilizers and wastewater treatment, may be worth as much as 50 kroner a share, Allen D. Wells, a London-based analyst with Morgan Stanley, said today in a note.
"Novozymes' biobusiness is underappreciated as a key medium-term growth and profit driver for the group," Wells said in the note. He increased his price estimate on Novozymes shares to 200 kroner from 190 kroner and repeated a recommendation to overweight positions in the stock.
The division, which also develops biopharmaceutical ingredients for drugmakers, had sales of about 1 billion kroner ($170 million) in 2011, according to Novozymes' annual report.

Are there any possibilities of modeling in a 3d environment? Not in a Maya or 3d studio MAX way (which I do not have any experience with), but in a UML diagram software kind of way..?
migrated from stackoverflow.com Jan 19 '10 at 1:30
This question came from our site for professional and enthusiast programmers.
In theory, there's no reason you couldn't arrange a UML diagram in 3D. In reality, you'd almost certainly lose more than you gained by doing so. A 3D environment works well when you're representing physical objects, and people can relate to the dimensions well. In the case of UML, however, item placements are nearly arbitrary to start with, so extending into a third dimension doesn't really gain anything.
