Americans face post-foreclosure hell as wages garnished, assets seized | Reuters - http://www.reuters.com/article...

By now, banks have usually sold the houses. But the proceeds of those sales were often not enough to cover the amount of the loan, plus penalties, legal bills and fees. The two big government-controlled housing finance companies, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, as well as other mortgage players, are increasingly pressing borrowers to pay whatever they still owe on mortgages they defaulted on years ago. Using a legal tool known as a "deficiency judgment," lenders can ensure that borrowers are haunted by these zombie-like debts for years, and sometimes decades, to come. Before the housing bubble, banks often refrained from seeking deficiency judgments, which were seen as costly and an invitation for bad publicity. Some of the biggest banks still feel that way. - GuitarBuster - -

Berryville Bill was a real character. We met in Eureka Springs, Ark. and I started working with him, painting old gingerbread houses and repairing roofs. Bill wasn't a typical hippie, more like a character from Grapes of Wrath, ran away from home at 14 to join the navy, but they found out how young he was. So he hopped freights and lived with hobos. Before moving to Arkansas, Bill and Pat worked several years as migrant farm workers, picking fruit and vegetables from California to Washington, while living in a 4 door Plymouth sedan with 4 kids. - GuitarBuster - -

One day Nasruddin was taking a walk in his village, when several of his neighbors approached him.

1 decade ago from Friendfeed - Comment - Hide - - -

"Nasruddin Hoja!" they said to him, "you are so wise and holy! Please take us as your pupils to teach us how we should live our lives, and what we should do!" Nasruddin paused, then said "Alright; I will teach you the first lesson right now. The most important thing is to take very good care of your feet and sandals; you must keep them clean and neat at all times." The neighbors listened attentively until they glanced down at his feet, which were in fact quite dirty and shod in old sandals that seemed about to fall apart. "But Nasruddin Hoja," said one of them, "your feet are terribly dirty, and your sandals are a mess! How do you expect us to follow your teachings if you don't carry them out yourself?" "Well," replied Nasruddin, "I don't go around asking people how I should live my life either, do I?" - GuitarBuster - -

Nasreddin was a Seljuq satirical Sufi, believed to have lived and died during the 13th century in Akşehir, near Konya, a capital of the Seljuk Sultanate of Rum, in today's Turkey. He is considered a populist philosopher and wise man, remembered for his funny stories and anecdotes. He appears in thousands of stories, sometimes witty, sometimes wise, but often, too, a fool or the butt of a joke. A Nasreddin story usually has a subtle humour and a pedagogic nature. <a rel="nofollow" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w... ; title="http://en.wikipedia.org/w... ; - GuitarBuster - -

Spanning some fifty years, the exhibition encompasses the origins, the flowering, and the transformation of Impressionism through portraits by thirty painters and sculptors. The major figures of Impressionist portraiture—Caillebotte, Cézanne, Degas, Monet, and Renoir—are represented in depth. - GuitarBuster - -

As stated in the History pages, Walt Smith started working with Lap Steels back in the very early years owning the first patent on a pitch changing device (see the Melobar Story Guitar Player Magazine 1991) The official name of Melobar didn't start until the mid 60's The Melobar tilt neck design which Melobar is famous for started back in 1964 with Walt Smith, the originator, sawing the neck off a guitar in a shop at one of his ranches in Donnelly Idaho, however he still had a place in Ojai California and worked with the Mosrite factory and the Dobro Factory on building his instruments. - GuitarBuster - -

The Old Fiddlers Contest was held at Fort Worth City Hall on April 12-13, 1901. Sponsored by the Robert E. Lee Camp, United Confederate Veterans, the contest featured participants from across north Texas who had been playing the fiddle for 25 to 60 years. Fort Worth photographer Charles L. Swartz assembled the group on the steps of City Hall to commemorate the occasion. Henry C. Gilliland (Parker County) won first prize, a gold watch, plus best “Dixie” and best “Arkansaw (sic) Traveler.” J.K.P. Harris (Granbury) won a silver watch for second prize and was deemed the most handsome. Third prize, a suit of clothes, went to Ed L. Taylor (Weatherford). Additional prizes went to: O.P Simms (84, Plano) the oldest and whitest hair; M.J. or W.J. Bonner (Fort Worth), smallest foot and shortest; J.J. Roberts (Springtown), tallest; T.A. Furlough (Hood County), largest foot and ugliest; W.J. Winniford ( Lancaster), one-eyed; Dr. H.R. Gray (Kaufman County), oldest violin and longest beard; John A. Young (Paris), bald-headed and best rebel yell; and Steve S. Atkins, the second bald-headed prize. Other contestants were T.C. Adams (Fort Worth), J.M. Ginn (Navarro County), J.C. Miller (Tarrant County), and J.E. Ross (Lindale). - GuitarBuster - -

U.S. think-tank says it located possible blast at Iran military site - Yahoo News - http://news.yahoo.com/u-think...

1 decade ago from Friendfeed - Comment - Hide - - -

The Washington-based Institute for Science and International Security (ISIS) said it had obtained commercially available satellite imagery on which six buildings at Parchin appeared damaged or destroyed. However, the images ISIS issued indicated the site of the possible blast was not the same Parchin location where the U.N. nuclear agency suspects that Iran, possibly a decade ago, carried out explosives tests that could be relevant for developing a nuclear arms capability. Iran denies any such aim. - GuitarBuster - -

Well, that think-tank ended up making an unfortunate choice about naming itself. What were they thinking? - GuitarBuster - -
