Whoops, I read a similar article here this morning and didn't have the time to comment then but searched the article again and posted the comment above without reading the article by Ben.
Either it was completely rewritten or the article I read I haven't located but the article I read this morning totally trashed the APP as being the dumbest idea ever, replete with hypthetical situations that, as I mentioned earlier, could only have been made by someone with no knowledge of the workings of devices.
So my apolgies for my previous post to Ben, of course contingent on whether or not he wrote the previous article I read this morning!

With most Remote start vehicles, in the event of an attempted theft, the vehicle will not move without the key.
However, if you're refering to an OnStar'esque feature in the event that the vehicle was stolen with the key, then yes, that would be a handy and very cool feature.
I'm very glad to see this New App. I believe this is only the beginning of what we are going to see from Iphone apps.
Eventually, your Iphone will simply be a remote for your life, with the capability to turn on your lights at home, sense a fire or burglar alert, control all features of your car, and activate or deactivate any electronic device.

Leo husband..gemini lover..love them both..who should i choose..i'm a scorpion woman.?
…………….Scorpio - Leo Compatibility
Leo are arrogant and proud whereas Scorpions are possessive and jealous. The union usually gets heated-up and could end in a bitter relationship. Both will be drawn to each other’s fascination but their anger will make it difficult to bear with one another. Leo’s dominance and majestic attitude to love may not be tolerated by a Scorpion. Ganesha also warns that the alliance of these zodiac signs may give out hazardous results.
Compatibility of Scorpio Man and Leo Woman
A Leo woman will wander for love and also will not be able to satisfy a Scorpio man’s over demanding behavior. The love match of a Leo woman is not compatible with a Scorpio man. The Scorpio man in his indignation could ignite a fight with the Leo woman. He will admire her love and patience but will become berserk if he found that it is only a show of love. The Leo woman will get the needed attention from the Scorpio man.
Compatibility of Scorpio Woman and Leo Man
A Leo man exhibits grand love and believes in king-style living. A Scorpio woman does not care for his show-off for love rather would be more inclined if he shows care and affection. Both are strong and aggressive and neither of them would like to bend nor compromise. Scorpio woman will be entralled by Leo man’s powerful and fearless personality. However, for a Leo man, honesty and devotion are meaningless. All in all, not a good match.
………….Scorpio - Gemini Compatibility
Scorpions are jealous, possessive, and dominant ; Geminians are self-centered, careless and diplomatic. Geminians are brilliant and enthusiatic but cannot stand jealousy and vengeful behavior. They love and enjoy to be seen in social settings and Scorpions on the other hand are secretive and seek privacy. Both are almost opposite in their deeds and actions. The match has to struggle a lot to keep the relationship on track.
Compatibility of Scorpio Man and Gemini Woman
The match is not meant for either of them because a Scorpio man has lots of expectations from her which may not be possible for a Gemini woman to fufill. There may be some infatuation for each other in the beginning but the relatinship cannot be dragged far-off considerng this only factor. A Gemini woman is reckless and carefree which is intolerable by a Scorpio man and he is very suspicious and jealous which a Gemini woman always dislikes.
Compatibility of Scorpio Woman and Gemini Man
A Scorpio woman will be captivated by the brilliance and zeal of a Gemini man. He will be attracted by her passion and loyalty. If both the zodiac signs mix together the results can be fantastic. But due to their negative aspects as jealousy and overdemanding behavior ( of a Scorpio woman), impatience and incosistency (of a Gemini man), they may create obstacles for themselves. Ganesha insists that if they try to figure-out the pit-falls and then the chances of their, remaining together may increase.
Scorpio and Leo:
This is a powerful combination. When these two sexy signs merge, there is no telling what will happen. The force of the attraction is undeniable. Leo is a fire sign and Scorpio loves to play with fire. Fire signs by nature love water signs. It is only a matter of time before these two magnetic attractive signs attract another and

Very confused about boyfriend!!!!!!!!?
Ive been seeing this guy for about a month and a half, he’s so nice and sweet and I have so much fun with him. Thing is, he hardly evers texts me, and he doesnt seem to mind if we dont get to see each other for 2 weeks straight. He hardly kisses me goodbye and its like im just a friend sometimes. I often stay with my best friend from college and he lives in the same building so Ive often stayed at his place (yes in the same bed but never ever got physical and we do not intend to, it was purely just him putting his arms around me and falling asleep!) I’m not clingy, though it sounds like I am but its quite annoying because I cant talk to him about it! Everyone is telling me to talk to him about it but I cant because he rarely texts/calls so we never have a proper conversation. I’m not expecting him to make all the effort, I text and call him but most of the time I dont get a reply or he doesnt answer my calls! I dont wanna break up with him because i really like him, he’s the nicest guy ive ever been with as I’ve been very badly abused by guys before (sexually and verbally), but this is really bothering me!

Colin S | Jan 13, 2010
I would talk to him about it, sounds like he just needs a boot in the @ss to get him motivated, he doesn’t seem to be making enough effort with you. Shouldn’t be one-sided! Just be honest with him.
EDIT: woops, I just read the ‘i can’t talk to him’ part. No way about it he’s going to have to?! Text him telling him you’ve gotta talk to him about the way things are going or something he may just be shy and need encouragement or whatever, I don’t know, but you’ve gotta find some time to communicate with him because otherwise there’s just not going to be a way around.
HeyPrettyLady | Jan 13, 2010
maybe he hasent made the transition from friend to BF yet give it some time
Daniel | Jan 13, 2010
maybe he just likes the fact that "he’s seeing you" im not sure if there’s attraction from his side.
or
maybe he’s one of those guys that dont know how to communicate or show affection
but i would talk to him about it…just ask him to call you when he’s free or see him in person and ask him. it wont last if it keeps going like this
loveable luv | Jan 13, 2010
Without being too brutally honest, and to quote Sex and the City, it really does sound to me like he’s just not that into you. I’ve had that in the past, and it took me weeks, even months, to figure out I was wasting my time. It also took me meeting the guy I’m currently seeing to realise the difference: we’ve only just started seeing one another but he texts me every few days, he is always kissing me and holding my hand on dates, and within 2 days of our first date he’d already called to arrange the second. The guy I was seeing before was a lot like what yours sounds like - he only really contacted me when he was bored, or horny, and although he wasn’t ever horrible to me, he was pretty distant and not really bothered if we went a while without contact.
As much as you probably don’t want to hear it, this is probably as good as it’s ever going to get with this guy. Talk to him if you want answers, but otherwise I’d recommend cutting your losses, forgetting him, and finding someone who really is into you and will give you the attention you deserve. It’s sad but true - if someone genuinely likes you and is interested, they aren’t happy going a long time without seeing you, they make excuses to talk to you as much as possible. Think about how you act when you like someone - people aren’t that different, so if you’re not receiving that kind of attention and interest, its probably because they aren’t that bothered.
Hope that helps.
twilightdogstar | Jan 13, 2010
In the book "He’s Just Not That Into You" Greg Behrendt points out that any guy who’s not trying to get into your pants (even if it’s just kissing) is not that into you. And if he’s not making the effort to contact you, he’s just not that into you!
So try a little experiment. Stop calling, stop texting, go out and try something new to keep your mind off him (cooking classes, windsurfing, a new coffee shop, anything!) and see how long it takes for him to contact you.
While you’re at that coffee shop, you might consider reading "He’s Just Not That Into You" (Greg Behrendt and Liz Tuccillo); I saw it on Oprah, bought it, and it changed my life. I recommend it to everyone =)

IMDB rating: 6.80 Plot: Fresh-faced and innocent, Dorian Gray arrives in London to move into the house he has inherited. Almost immediately he falls under the influence of amoral and calculating Lord Henry Wotton, leading to a life of increasing debauchery and even violence. Through many years Gray stays as young-looking as ever, while a portrait painted when he arrived grows old, reflecting his increasing excesses. Eventually the picture, now secreted in his attic, becomes almost hideous to behold. When true love finally enters his life he realises he must guard his secret at all costs. |

I'm getting married to books…would you like to attend our wedding?
It’s the 12th December 2012; basically books proposed to me and said:
"O, she knew well
Thy love did read by rote and could not spell.
But come, young waverer, come, go with me,
In one respect I’ll thy assistant be;
For this alliance may so happy prove,
To turn your households’ rancour to pure love."
So it’s not the usual proposal, minus the kneeling and cheesy, common quote. Much more romantic. Instead books was laying on my lap as he proposed. It will take place in Forks.
The pastor hosting the ceremony will be Dorian Gray.
Ahaa what is your ideal wedding (must be married to books and involve book characters and scenes/quotes).
BQ: Which book do you wish you wrote? (Exceptions: Harry Potter, Twilight, any too popular books).
Can I be your maid of honor? Oh and can you send me a ticket to Forks too?
My ideal scene would be on the beach, except my book can’t swim, so my 2nd ideal scene would be on a huge plane, where Lemony Snicket helps me find my dream book. Unfortunately, I get the usual proposal consisting "will you marry me". My pastor is Spiderman, who says "up, up and away" right before we tandem skydive while taking our vows.
the boook I wish I wrote was The Truth About Forever.

In sake of being grammatically correct..?
should writing the ‘western world’ or friday the thirteenth be capitalized?
And the Last supper and knights templar, is it italicized or underlined in a typed report?
Yes, i am aware that this is a fifth grade question.. so please and thank you
Yes those would be capitalized and I think you italicize the last two. If it’s a book though underline. poems are italicized.
catlover | Jan 03, 2010
Yes on the capitalization, they are specific items, and therefore, proper nouns.
On the italics questions, italics and underlining are synonymous. Underlining is how a writing would indicate to the typist to italicize it because you cannot write in italics. Today, italics should be used instead of underlining.

revenge? sex? or does he love me? long but i really need help on this one.. thanks?
well 2 years ago i started dating this guy
after a year i started getting insecure cos he is a really good looking guy and girls are always throwing themselves at me and im an insecure person
so one night i went out with my girls n ended up cheating on him
i told him a few weeks later cos i felt so guilty and he broke up with me
i really fucked him up. i saw him cry for the 1st time. he didnt even cry when he talked about his dead dad.
so we didnt talk for months things got nasty and horrible things were said on both sides.
although he never had sex with anyone else in the 8 months we were split
in the last few weeks we started talking again
then on christmas night he called and said he needed to talk.. he told me he still loves me and although i really hurt him he still thinks about me all the time.
we ended up going to my house for drinks and one thing led to another.. we slept together.
then we were out a few nights after and we kissed, i told him things were not going to go further again untill we were in a relationship.. he agreed that was the best thing.
then the night before last we were both out and he was on the dance floor, looking at me.. this **** came up grinding up n down him and he kissed her right in front of my face
after he asked me why i was upset, asked what i thought it felt like and then told me he does love me, he just cant sort out in his head what is right.. so i told him i would wait for as long as he needs me too
so then it turns out he has actually been texting this girl he got with and it was planned that they would meet up… i dont know what to think
he was the sweetest most loving guy before i cheated but now i don’t know what to think
i love him SO much and would give anything to take back what i did.. i just want things to go back to how they were, is it possible?
btw i think it might be for sex cos some of his friends have said it.. but those same friends have also tried to crack on to me when they know he isnt around…
thanks for your help x
Very confusing! But Men always have been haven’t they?
Either this guy missed you loads, and one thing lead to another and you had sex because of how you both feel for one another, or he wanted revenge,
Let’s pretend that he wanted revenge, how was he supposed to know that this girl would come up to him dancing like that, and are you sure that he kissed her and she never kissed him first? Unless of course, it was all staged like he knew the girl or something.
Or maybe, he did want to get back with you, and at the same time still feels very angry about how you cheated, so when you told him that you wanted to be in a relationship before you both had sex again he knew he couldn’t ‘get back’ at you then because it was you calling the shots, and not him having his wicked way and then leaving , saying ‘its not gonna happen again’ , it seems like kissing this girl was the perfect oppotunity if this is what he had in mind.
However, it seems that he may still have feelings, but feel as if he cant trust you. But I most definte in saying, it is a good chance that he wanted to give you a taste of your own medicine, but the way he went about it was all wrong. too wrongs don’t make a right.
Find out if this girl is really meeting up with him? Ask around. If she is then call it a day, he was either ‘using you’ or ‘getting revenge.’ if shes not, then talk to him. Ask him about her, and what she means to him and where you and him stand. If he still doesn’t know what he wants, dont wait forever… move on.
| Jan 07, 2010
Sounds like feedback time!
The love had gone up in smoke. Two years together? Many don’t last that long. It was good while it lasted, I guess.
Time to move on, girl.
Both of you are now playing games, hurting the other. When it starts to go downhill like that, it’s hard to bring it back It’s impossible.
L | Jan 07, 2010
I think that its revenge.I think he want to see u hurt because u hurt him. if i were u then i will tell him that i really love u and i know that i hurt u but i really love u and u hurt me when u kissed that girl. tell him how u really feel.
Neelu S | Jan 07, 2010
Here’s my opinion:
If this guy really loves you, he wouldn’t do it for revenge or sex.
When someone loves you, they’ll look past your mistakes and learn to trust you again.
If he had been hooking up with this girl for awhile, then he’s not worth it.
I would talk to him, and let him know that I’d want the truth.
If he isn’t willing to tell you, then he doesn’t trust you enough.
That’s my point of view on the situation.
Best of luck. 
Jasmin | Jan 07, 2010
i don’t think that he wants sex……… but this happened to me and all he wanted revenge and he screwed me over. so if this is similar to something that he is doing to you then i say move on and find a better man that won’t do that kind of **** and promises to be faithful to you and not go out with you then when you cheat on him he plans a night where he invites a girl that he kisses in front of you. i really think this is revenge so just move on and get a good man that will treat you right!!!!!
Kisses,
Taylor
T. Mac. | Jan 07, 2010
Can’t you be more specific about who you are? You dated a guy, that means,you are a woman, am I right? then you go out with your girls and ended up cheating on him ! What do you mean by your girls, are they your lovers or just friends? Express yourself clearly. For your problems, I see only one option, mature yourself into a woman. That woman may see a way out
Hope you for the best

what do you think of this first chapter in my book is it to flat and boring.dose it lack anything
I woke up, it was still dark outside but by the look of the stars it could not be long to sunrise. Today was my day, the one-day I had been waiting for my whole life. Today my dream would come true and I would find out if I had a power like the rest of my family and then hopefully to be accepted in the mages keep. It the one school I had always wanted to go. The one place were I could learn to harness my power and become a mage. It was forbidden in mitrina to use your powers before the age of sixteen and before doing so you had to be accepted in to a mage keep and learn to harness the power. By the looks of it I had about three hours before I had to be at the gate to the keep. So I got dressed in my tunic and trousers. Put on my boots and gloves and I was ready to go. I just had to get something to eat before I left. I ate some cheese and fresh bread that mother had prepared the night before and drunk a mouth full of water from the well. I left to begin my two-hour journey to the keep

Need urgent help…with tenant(s) not paying, guys I really need some help, I don't know what to do?
Here’s is my issue, me and my brother started or got into real estate about 6-9 months ago, so far 14 apartments/house rented out. My brother is actually more into this, knows more about real estate than I do but the problem is he is out of the country and is having issues coming back, something about him loosing his passport in germany. We’re Americans, he was on a business trip. Our communication is very limited and I believe the tenants are taking advantaged of the fact that I took over. For the most part the tenants are paying 2-3 days late but they pay. 2-3 are behind but I have talked to them and they are getting there slowly. This question regards 2 of the tenants,
1) She has payed her first month ahead of time in full when we signed the lease but only agreed on the lease that payments towards the deposit was going to be included with the rent until the deposit was completed, so she started off with a partial deposit. But for the past 2 months, I haven’t seen a penny, I call and go the apartment almost everyday, she either avoids me or says I’m going to to be pick up the money right now, and I never hear from her again that day. I have listed in the lease that after the 5th fee of $50 bucks. I want my money from this lady. The rent includes utilities, and for a lady that hasn’t payed rent when I’m paying utilities for her, I decided to cut off the air conditioning/heat on her. Haven’t hit the elec yet. I told her that I’m not here to play games, I was never rude, never yelled, never threatened anything to her. I want to do something tomorrow morning, I’m fed up with her. But at the same time I want the rent money before she is evicted, I don’t want her to stay in the apartment another month for free( if that happens can i then hit the elec?). To put things in perspective, her deposit money is gone, so is her month in advance is gone. I’m in NC. I have track of everything she has gave us, but we don’t do receipts (we are going to start though, so are we going to get a complete deposit before anything). I want all my money and I want her out. As I read in other question posts I can’t change the locks. What kind of certified paper do I need to put on her door? Where can I get it? I was reading the lease , can someone explain this to me… "ATTORNEY FEES: If any legal action or proceedings be brought by either party of this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be reimbursed for all reasonable attorney’s fees and costs in addition to other damages awarded. " Thanks, I need this answer urgently.
2) Long story short, guy1 moves in with a partial deposit/partial first month rent, and agreed to add deposit to the rent until deposit is complete. guy1 moves in October. guy2 moves in with him in mid October so they can split the rent. Only guy1’s name is in the lease. January comes and I go to the apartment and here is guy2 saying that guy1 doesn’t have the money and is packing/ packed and leaving/left. So I told guy2 you need to make up the rent if you want to stay, he said he was going to call social services to see if they can help. Now guy1 has been out of the house for over 10 days now, and guy2 is not responding to phone calls. I gave guy2 a paper with my Signature and how much thre rent was so he can give it to the social services. Now guy2 has no rights as a tenant…is that correct? So can I get in there and throw his stuff out? Would that be legal? Thanks guys, Its 2am here and I’m going to try to stay awake for a response…Thanks, any contribution appreciated. Message me for questions please.
1) You are looking for a three day notice to vacate. You can post it on her door. If she is not out within the 3 days, you can start formal eviction proceedings. Call the State’s Attorney general’s office - they can help you with this.
2) Guy number 2 should not be there. However, since you allowed it, he has established residence and most likely you need to begin eviction proceedings on him. When you call the AG’s office on lady in #1, ask about this guy too (see if you can get him for trespassing, though since you knew he was there and have allowed him to stay, this will likely not fly).

First, NEVER let a property to anyone unless they can pay their full deposit and first month’s rent in advance. If they can’t afford to cover these, they are unlikely to be able to cover their rent when it is due. Have all rents due on the first of the month. If you must prorate the rent do so for the second month not the first, otherwise you end up with someone who can’t pay the rent.
If someone is not complying with the contract, serve them a "Three Days to Pay Rent or Quit" notice. This should be titled just that way. In the body of the notice repeat that they have three days to pay what is due or vacate the premises. Stipulate the full amount that is due, this includes the full amount of the deposit. Since they have failed to abide by the terms of their occupancy, that of paying extra to catch up on the deposit, they get to pay it all in full NOW. Have the service date at the head, name the tenants specifically, where the rent should be paid, and a contact phone number where you can be reached. This doesn’t do much, but often you have to serve this to proceed with an eviction. You may also be able to buffalo them out of the premises.
The same notice would apply to this shell game of of the two tenants playing catch me if you can. Often they need this notice to help them get emergency help with their rent. I would suggest that you give them a thirty notice to vacate the premises after they catch up their rent. Usually such tenants are never going to be reliable, and the headaches involved are not worth it.
Second, DO NOT TURN OFF ANY UTILITY OR APPLIANCE AT ALL! This is called "constructive eviction" which is exactly as the name implies. You are using construction as a way to coerce a tenant to vacate the premises. The courts take a very dim view of this. They can actually find on behalf of the tenant, award them triple damages of what you say is due you and in the end they get to stay in the property and screw you all over again. DON’T DO IT!
Use the three days to hunt up a lawyer. It really doesn’t take much to get a tenant out if you have crossed all of your Ts and dotted your Is. Find a lawyer who owns property as they will know exactly what to do. It shouldn’t cost much either as there is usually very little time involved, though your court costs can run $100 or so.
As previously mentioned, you can buffalo your tenant out, but you do not know what is legal and what isn’t I’d avoid this if I were you. You are likely to get your tail in a bind.
First rule of landlords, chase the good tenants not the money. If someone shows up with money saying they want a place and you don’t make them fill out a rental/credit application you are just too naive to be a landlord. If you can’t turn an applicant down because you need their money, your landlording experience will be bad.
When your brother gets back, you need to sit down and draw up rules for how you are going to conduct the business, so that you are both on the same page.
Finally, legal fees are boilerplate. Basically it says if you sue them and win, they owe your legal fees, or if they sue you and win, you owe their legal fees. This is normal whether it is stated or not.
Why you would stipulate that you would be liable for thier legal fees because of your omissions is beyond me.

On the first lady you are asking for a heap of trouble by cutting off her utilities. That is against the law. Better turn those back on and do not think about that as a way to drive the tenant out. She could sue you and get a judgement because you did that.
You need to give her a 3 day notice to pay or quit. You need to follow the law, not just make it up as you go along and hope to scare her out of the place. If she does not pay in 3 days, then you need to go to the courthouse and file eviction papers and get a court date. Then go to court, get your eviction on her, there will be a date and a judgement that the judge will sign and then you can serve her with that. If she is not out or doesn’t come to a good solution with you, you can get the Sheriff or police involved and show them the court order to evict her and they will put her and her stuff out on the curb. NEVER SHUT OFF UTILITIES OR CHANGE LOCKS UNLESS YOU HAVE GONE TO COURT AND GOTTEN A JUDGEMENT TO EVICT!!! Not sure if your brother seems to know more about this, but if he advised you to do this, you guys need remedial landlord class.
As for Guy 2, you in some ways agreed to let him be there as you didn’t force him to sign a lease etc…time might be your enemy there and you may not be able to call him a trespasser and just move his things out and change locks.
Do you and your brother have an attorney that you can run this 2nd scenario by?
It sounds like you get yourself into pickles by letting people who have no business moving in move in. STOP letting people who can’t come up with the deposit and first months rent move in! They see that as a weakness they can exploit!
