THE OLD SAYING THAT ?YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR? HAS NEVER BEEN MORE TRUE ALSO, THE FACT THESE RECENT listing SELLERS ARE NOT WILLING TO PROVIDE PAID ?LEGITIMATE? TITLE INSURANCE NOR ALLOW YOU TO PERSONALLY UTILIZE AN INDEPENDENT 3RD PARTY TITLE COMPANY TO ISSUE NON-TAX DEED EXCEPTED TITLE INSURANCE BEFORE PAYMENT IS MADE TELLS YOU, BUYER BEWARE. This is from the Charlotte County Clerks office on Tax Deeds: Do I get a clear title with a Tax Deed? All properties sold at a Tax Deed Sale qualify under ?buyer beware?. The purchase of a Tax Deed Sale does not warrant or guarantee clear and marketable title. Note: Most title companies require the property to go through a quiet title lawsuit for the property to be able to have title insurance issued on property bought by Tax Deed Sale. What liens or encumbrances survive against a property after it is sold at a Tax Deed Sale? Governmental liens and judgments survive the issuance of a tax deed and are satisfied to the fullest extent possible with any overbid monies from the sale. Governmental liens, not satisfied in full, survive the issuance of a tax deed and will remain against the property. ?Beware of those on listing selling lots that were purchased by the sellers inexpensively via public Tax Deed sales as they require thousands of dollars in legal fees to clear with a Suit to Quiet Title process and up to a year to clear the title if at all :) ? ?You will know, as they will only offer you a Special Warranty Deed or a Quit Claim for this reason and no title insurance to protect your investment.? ALSO JUST VERY RECENTLY, Often these SAME TAX DEED sellers will FALSELY offer Title Insurance but will have Exceptions to Coverage in your Title Insurance Policy! There are standard exceptions in every policy, BUT exceptions entered for tax deed sales are UNIQUE AND PARTICULAR, NOT STANDARD. Carefully review exceptions in Schedule B2 of the title policy to ensure you know which items are exempted and therefore NOT COVERED by the Title Policy. ASK BOTH THE SELLER & THE CLOSING TITLE COMPANY prior to bidding or buying IF IT WAS PREVIOUSLY ACQUIRED VIA A TAX DEED AUCTION AS WELL & WHAT EXCEPTIONS THERE ARE THAT LIMITS THE TITLE POLICY VALUE :) WITH THESE TITLE INSURANCE POLICY EXCEPTIONS, THE TITLE INSURANCE IS MEANINGLESS & BANKS WILL NOT LOAN TO BUILD ON A TAX DEED ACQUIRED PROPERTY ! DO NOT agree to BUY or PAY for ANY REAL ESTATE without THE SELLER FIRST PROVIDING LEGITIMATE Title Insurance, BEFORE FINAL Settlement Payment at CLOSING! Ensure that your closing agent or attorney explain any ?TAX DEED exceptions? noted in Schedule B2. Before paying or closing such a parcel, do YOURSELF A FAVOR ? CALL your TITLE COMPANY, local LAWYER or REAL ESTATE ATTORNEY and ask for PROFESSIONAL ADVICE before Acquiring any FLORIDA LOT when the SELLER DOES NOT Offer TITLE INSURANCE or OFFERS TITLE INSURANCE WITH NON-STANDARD EXCEPTIONS NOTED IN SCHEDULE B2 ? PRIOR TO CLOSING on the Land! Be informed to help you make the right decision for your situation. ALSO, INSURE THAT THE LOT IS NOT LOCATED WITHIN AN ENVIRONMENTALLY PROTECTED SCRUB JAY ?BIRD?

STILL HAVE DOUBTS ABOUT INVESTING IN FLORIDA REAL-ESTATE The fall, 2007 mortgage/credit crisis is creating many opportunities to buy well located land & lots at bargain prices. Rarely do buyers have the chance to buy at absolute market bottoms and land is the best way to participate when the Florida real estate market has it?s price recovery. After the real estate boom that topped out in mid-2005 we are seeing the bottom of a price collapse that has reduced land prices 60 to 80 percent. Based on Florida?s long term high growth rate from immigration, retiring baby-boomers, and others attracted to Florida?s climate, beaches, and high employment growth, this chance to buy land at dramatically low prices will be the best we will see in our lifetimes. The need for well-located land is growing, Florida?s population grew by 314,000 in 2007 and has grown by more than 2,000,000 since the year 2000. Florida created the most jobs of any state in 2006, with 211,400 new jobs. The October, 2007 unemployment rate was only 4.0 percent. Price cycles are more extreme in land than other real estate. We are passing the low point of this cycle, which is down 60 to 80% from the summer, 2005 high point of the last cycle. Buyers at this point in the cycle can possibly make 100 to 150% or more when prices get back to the levels of the summer of 2005. Since prices at each cycle high usually exceed the previous highs, potential gains are excellent compared to most other investments. Building lot values grow consistently over long periods of time because the population of Florida is growing by 300,000+ people/year and the amount of desirable, buildable land is shrinking. Land in South Florida and within a 30 minute drive of the coast is the most likely to increase in value because that?s where 90 percent of the people want to live. Lots don?t give you management and maintenance headaches like rental properties and you can realize great deals in this buyer?s market. In our website you can find what you need to buy a great investment parcel or parcels while prices are at this temporary all-time low. With the current Euro to U.S. dollar devaluation, Europeans buying Florida real estate is at an all-time high.

Several years later, the American mainland was opened for European settlement by the Hernando DeSoto expedition of 1539-42. According to various historical documents, Pedro Menendez D?Aviles built a mission-fort named San Antonio somewhere in the Charlotte Harbor region following his establishment of the first American colony at St. Augustine, Florida, in 1565.

Hongkong Parents oppose - UNITY MEDIA NEWS Network

Thousands of stroller-pushing Hong Kong parents and activists protest a plan to introduce national education lessons, slamming it as a bid to brainwash children with Chinese propaganda.

Hong Kong: Thousands of Hong Kong parents marched in the streets on Sunday in protest against a school curriculum plan they said was an attempt to brainwash students by extolling the achievements of the Chinese Communist party.
The controversy is the latest backlash against perceived political influence from Beijing in the former British colony that returned to Chinese rule in 1997.
The furor focuses on a Hong Kong government-funded 34-page book titled ?The China Model? celebrating China?s single party Communist state as a unique political system under which its economy and society have flourished.

The book will form the basis of a national education curriculum for students aged six years and older in Hong Kong schools in the coming year.

?We don?t want our child to be fed this material, said P.S. Ho, who joined the protest along with his wife and four-year-old daughter.

?If the initiative continues without changes, maybe we will change schools later or immigrate to another country.?

Parents with children in strollers, secondary school students and activists joined the rally on a sweltering afternoon, carrying placards and handing out pamphlets decrying the education plan.
A police officer estimated the crowd to be about 19,000 which is considered sizeable by Hong Kong standards.

?Parents are concerned. We don?t want them to brainwash our children?s minds,? said Linda Wong, a member of a parent concern group and a mother of one.

While the booklet touches on some negative aspects of contemporary Chinese history including unfair land grabs by corrupt officials and a toxic milk powder scandal, it makes no mention of the June 4 crackdown on pro-democracy protesters in Beijing?s Tiananmen Square in 1989.

It also describes the US political system as having ?created social turbulence and is harmful to people?s livelihood.?

?This material is given to elementary school students. They don?t have the independent thinking capabilities to judge for themselves,? said Joseph Wong, 19, a member of a youth activist group.

Hong Kong officials rejected any plan to introduce Chinese-style propaganda, saying the ?China Model? booklet was only a guide.

?We definitely would not want to see any so-called brainwashing type of education from happening. If that indeed happens, which we do not believe will happen?we would be the first one to come out to condemn such a situation,? said Lee Chack-fan, chairman of a group tasked with drafting the guidelines for the national education scheme.

HBT: Lee's chances of going to Texas 'less than 1 percent'

T.R. Sullivan of MLB.com is pumping the breaks on the Cliff Lee-to-the-Rangers talk, reporting that the odds of Philadelphia trading the left-hander to Texas are ?less than one percent.?

Sullivan cites an unnamed ?industry source? for that assessment, but generally speaking he?s very plugged into the Rangers.

This morning rumors started swirling that the Phillies were making Lee available in trade talks to free themselves of the $87.5 million he?s owed for the next three seasons.

WellPoint to buy?rival insurer Amerigroup

By Roland Jones

WellPoint is aiming to profit from the Supreme Court?s recent decision to uphold most of President Barack Obama?s health care law.

The health insurer said Monday it will buy rival Amerigroup for about $4.9 billion in a bid to capture a larger share of the growing number of recipients of the Medicare and Medicaid health care programs.

The deal follows the U.S. Supreme Court?s decision to uphold Obama?s healthcare legislation, which requires all Americans to have health insurance. It is expected to increase the number of Americans who have access to state-sponsored health care programs.

WellPoint said the transaction will, upon completion, allow the combined company to serve more than 4.5 million beneficiaries of these health care programs and allow WellPoint to increase its footprint to 19 states.

In early June WellPoint, which is looking to diversify its sources of revenue, agreed to acquire contact lens retailer 1-800 Contacts from private equity company Fenway Partners.

The Amerigroup acquisition is expected to close in the first quarter of 2013 and will be financed with cash, commercial paper and new debt, the companies said.

Huawei Ascend D1 now up for grabs in China, headed to Russia next month

Huawei Ascend D1 now up for grabs in China, headed to Russia next month

Being related to that considerably powerful Ascend D Quad could spark some sort of a double-edged sword effect on Huawei's lesser-specced D1, but if all those cores the former has to offer mean nothing to those in China, the latter wouldn't be such a bad choice. In case you've forgotten -- unlike its beefier, quad-core-loaded brother -- this 4.5-inch (1280 x 720) Ascend D1's only sporting a dual-core, 1.5GHz TI OMAP CPU, which is paired next to 1GB of RAM and a tasty bite of Google's 4.0 treat. According to Huawei, the device is set to hit online shelves throughout the Great Wall starting today, with Russia being its next stop come August and "other markets to follow" sometime after. Be sure to pay the source below a visit if you're planning on grabbing one of these for yourself.

Taylor Cole Miller: True Blood: An Allegory in an Obama Mask

From the moment "GOD HATES FANGS" flashed across the screen in the title card of the first episode, True Blood has been accused of being riddled with gay metaphors and analogies. Academics eagerly pounced on the narrative in the first season, claiming, for example, that it is an epic fable meant to illustrate the struggle gays and lesbians face in their pursuit toward "normality."

The supposed allegory (vamps = gays) hasn't been lost on many of the show's gay fans, who celebrate its campy melodramatics and fang-in-cheek humor. Sunday night Jessica even consoled Tara, a newly-minted woeful vampire, by assuring her that "it gets better" -- reminiscent of Dan Savage's now-famous campaign. Some of its straight viewers have been less forgiving, like Todd Herremans, who last year tweeted complaints about the show's "barrage of homosexuality" (he has since apologized).

But if we buy into this analysis, now five seasons later, what has happened to the allegory? In the second season when we had fundamentalist Christians fighting vampires, the analogy was simple and relatively easy to follow; I would have called it a brilliant critique on the fundamentalist conservatism beginning to brew in the formative years of Obama's administration. In the third and fourth seasons, however, things became decidedly hairier when the vampires began to shed the delicate veil of "goodness" to reveal that, at their root, they're pretty evil and dangerous. Infectious, if you're holding true to the allegory.

So far this season we have had a sneak peek into the office of The Authority, an organization against vampire defamation that is dedicated to ensuring equal rights for vampires using a mainstreaming motto to the tune of "we suck just like everybody else!" What does it mean that these "good guys" are narratively positioned as bad guys, willing to torture and kill any fellow vampires who would give "the agenda" a bad name (as a sidebar, let me now just publicly pledge my fealty to GLAAD).

The Authority (VAD?) kills an order of fundamentalist vampires known as the Sanguinistas who are devout followers of God and his immaculately conceiving first vessel, Lilith. For the Sanguinistas, humans (Adam and Eve) were made by God only to serve as food for the vampires, which every single meat-eater has matter-of-factly argued to me ever since I stopped eating it. In short, the crazy fundamentalists have gone from being fang-hating Christians to card-carrying vampires, which has made me wonder, what's the allegory picking up on now?

And then I remembered something. Back in February, I picked up a casting call for this season of True Blood. They were casting the character "Joe Bob" who fit this description:

CAUCASIAN, EARLY 30s, White trash. An anti-vampire terrorist wearing an Obama mask to hide his identity, he shoots one vampire with a hunting rifle and takes his victim prisoner. Recurring.

In last night's episode, that character (or a band of drunk-Obama-mask wearing characters) premiered in the back of a pick-up truck shooting shifters. (I know I'm supposed to hate them, but so far they ARE taking out all the characters I really hate).

Although there are political masks for everyone from Hillary Clinton to Sarah Palin, Ball came to play at a time when the now-famous Richard Nixon mask with the "classically caricatured nose" came to prominence. It was often worn by anti-Nixon protestors as a sign of disaffection for his crumbling, Watergate-infested administration. Basically, their scary Halloween costume. Is Obama to the Tea Party what Nixon was to hippies?

True Blood has always and probably will always have a socio-political agenda. It's interesting that now Ball is flipping the Nixon-mask (and numerous other metaphors) to demonstrate the way in which fundamentalist conservatives and Tea Partiers are manipulating and buying into the image of Obama as a wicked man. For these "anti-vampire white trash," the face of Obama himself has become the "big bad" who is to be feared for the devastation and chaos he will surely leave in his wake. I suppose, as heathens, our only means of salvation at this point are daily doses of Hail Liliths.

What do you think of the supposed True Blood allegories, and how do you see them playing into this season?

Pointe Performing Arts Center Helps Dave's House. - Dave's House ...

June 20, 2012??????????? ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Contact: Lowrie Fawley

For Immediate Release???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? (407)374-3587

POINTE Performing Arts Center invites audiences to share the lives of the Boys Next Door!

Orlando, FL ? Fantasyland Theatrical Productions at the POINTE Performing Arts Center (Ppac) is excited to bring you an entertaining and moving glimpse inside the life of the mentally challenged Boys Next Door July 13 to 29, 2012.

Fantasyland Theatrical Productions is pleased to be working in partnership with The Brain Foundation of Florida, Inc., an Orlando-based not-for-profit company that provides quality, permanent and affordable homes with support services for people recovering from serious brain disorders, called Dave?s House. The Brain Foundation of Florida opens doors to transform lives, end homelessness and build better communities throughout the state.?? Audience members will have an opportunity to participate in this worthwhile work by making contributions to support the Foundation?s ?20 Houses by 2020? Campaign.? Donations will be collected before, during, and after each performance.? To learn more about Dave?s Houses, please go to the Foundation?s website:? www.brainfoundationofflorida.org.

Having roommates can be fun, exciting, and at times a little bit troublesome! The four characters all live with disabilities ? Lucien and Norman have intellectual disabilities, Barry is a golf pro living with schizophrenia, Arnold has Obsessive Compulsive Disorder with paranoia, and Jack is the case worker who tries to keep these four loveable personalities in check. The ?boys? share their lives, their hopes, their dreams, their loves, and their often hilarious antics with each other and the audience in a delightful dramatic comedy that reminds us that no matter how ?different? a person may seem, we are all the same on some level.

Director Lowrie Fawley states: ?what drew me the most to this piece is the fact that it raises awareness by allowing us to share in lives that are not all that different from our own. These men may have disabilities, but ultimately it is society that tells us what is normal. To Arnold, Lucien, Norman, and Barry their lives are just as normal as someone without a disability. I instantly fell in love with each of them for their quirks, not in spite of them. I am blessed with an extremely talented cast that has taken a remarkable journey with me to understand these men. We have researched, spoken to, and for several of us worked with or even lived with and loved individuals with disabilities, and our goal was to make these characters as real as the men and women who do live with some form of mental challenge. These are people, not characters. We laugh with them and cry with them, and in doing so we come to understand them.?

The Boys Next Door opens at the POINTE performing Arts Center on July 13th and runs through July 29th 2012

Show times are Fridays and Saturdays at 8:00 pm and Sunday at 7:00 pm

Ppac is offering dinner and a show packages for all shows that include parking validation and complete meal at Taverna Opa or BB Kings for $40 as well as regular admission tickets for $15-$20.

Qualcomm enlists Samsung, UMC to help meet 28nm Snapdragon S4 demand

Qualcomm enlists Samsung, UMC to help meet 28nm Snapdragon S4 demand

Qualcomm's Snapdragon S4 chipset is certainly hot (well, not too hot), but it looks like demand is expected to grow even further, causing the San Diego-based SoC maker to turn to allies in the east to help beef up supply. According to China Economic News Service, United Microelectronics Corp. (UMC) and Korea-based Samsung will join Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC) to manufacturer the 28nm chips beginning later this year, in an attempt to increase S4 availability ahead of the Windows RT launch. The article cites Qualcomm CEO Paul Jacobs as saying that a shortage is expected to continue, due to the complicated techniques necessary to manufacturer 28nm chips, and that the company may consider adding its own manufacturing plant in the future. All in all, it doesn't seem like a terrible position for QCOM to be in. Full details are at the Taiwanese source link below.
