It is a lot more than we can manage right now, even though we have a nurse who comes by Dad's place and provide him with senior in home care in nassau county ny. That has been going on for almost three years now and he is not even happy about that. In fact he is upset that we took the coil off of his the old Chevy Nova that he used to drive. The car is pretty nasty now as it has been sitting in the same spot under a sweet gum tree that has covered it in black resin or whatever that stuff is that they spew out. Of course he could probably drive just fine if you cleared the roads off and made sure that no other drivers were around to get out of his way. That obviously is not a practical idea in any sense, but you could see how he would think that he could drive just fine. He does drive just fine for the most part, but then he loses his focus and strays on to the shoulder or across the center line into the other lane.

Until the last couple of weeks it seemed as though the status quo would be okay with all of us, but it just is not working out that way. We have noticed that there are now some unmistakable hints that Dad has entered the early stages of dementia and he is going to need to be monitored by professionals around the clock. It is just very difficult to imagine how he could take care of himself while he is incapable of remembering simple things. That just is not a possible outcome at this point, although no one wants to face up to it. He will not go gently.

I think that people have many different criteria when searching for a new Internet service provider. Some people are simply interested in finding the least expensive option and they don't really care about speed or any other factors. Other people may be more concerned with the overall speeds they'll reach with their Internet service provider. For these types of people, the faster, the better. I like to think that I am a little of both of these types of people, which is why I use century link. I want the best value provider, which means I'm looking for someone who will give me the best speeds at the most affordable price.

When my next door neighbor moved in last week, we got to chatting for a while. He moved all the way from across the country that he could be closer to his family. We hit it off immediately. The conversation slowly gravitated towards all of those moving related tasks that come along with living in a new place. He asked me who my Internet service provider was and I told him. He asked me what I thought about my service, and I said that I couldn't be happier. When it comes to reliability and customer service they can't be beat.

I found out that my new neighbor decided to go with my recommendation. He hasn't had service for very long but he's quite happy with the choice he made. They were able to install and turn on his service really quickly. That's really important for someone who is very dependent on Internet service. I know that I'll be happy for many years to come. I can't believe how inexpensive my service is, and the best part is my Internet speed has never been faster. I don't believe you should have to sacrifice one factor for another.

Finding cheap internet in this economy can be a challenge - especially so when we have so few companies that are capable of providing Internet to customers. In the United States, you might think that we have some of the best Internet in the world yet this is not the case whatsoever. We have to deal with the unfortunate situation of having a handful of Internet companies, whom are (unsurprisingly) media and content providing companies who have bought most of the smaller companies. This has lead to some serious stagnation within the States - stagnation and some of the most awful Internet speeds in comparison to much of the advanced world. We rank last in several market studies that shows the United States, for a first world developed nation, is falling far behind in Internet infrastructure, speeds and quality. With so few companies providing quality Internet, how can they expect competition to balance things out? Is that not the whole point of the free market?

The United States has for far too long given too much power to corporations - from acknowledging that a corporation is a 'person' to the fact that they are capable of making political donations, incorporated entities are given too much freedom within the political spectrum. This is the reason why we have such terrible quality Internet services. While tax payers have provided for and paid for the current established infrastructure that they currently use in order to provide service to the consumers. We are being taken advantage of in a bad way and there must be reform - progressive reform and not the kind that Verizon has currently pushed out in the courts by violating a core tenent of Internet support by convincing the courts that there is enough competion to strike down the concept of Net Neutrality.

Picking between internet providers for your home is a very important decision. There are many ways that you can get the internet these days, and at first you might be a bit confused about which option is best for you. Your local cable provider most likely provides internet service as well, and they probably have many option to pick from. For example, what speed you select will often play into how much it costs per month. The slower the download speeds you go with, the cheaper the service will be. Since you have options it's important to start slow, and then if you find if the speeds are not working for you then you can upgrade them at a later date.

If you local cable company doesn't provide internet access you might have to go with a satellite internet company. Typically these systems are more expensive than cable internet, as they have up front costs of equipment you need to buy such as the satellite dish. While these satellite internet services can have comparable speeds, the up front costs can be what scares people away from getting the service in the first place.

Of course there are always mobile internet options. Most people have mobile hot spots built into their smart phone, which gives them access to the internet on their laptop, PC, or tablet devices by simply sharing the signal. If you are already paying for your mobile device and don't use the data that much, sharing the internet connection with a mobile hot spot can be a great way to save money on your monthly internet bill. There are also options to get mobile devices that only transmit a data signal over wifi. This can be great if you leave it at home all the time, or need to take it with you on a trip.

Thanks to the lack of jobs in our area, we have seen a huge increase in non-violent crime. Even my own home was broken into just a few short weeks ago after a spree hit the neighborhood right after one of the packaging factories here was shut down. To me, that's proof enough that the lack of jobs is the cause behind this sudden increase in crime. Thanks to this issue, I decided to look into ohio home security. I never thought I would actually have to get home security but when you are faced with a problem and the only solution is either buying a gun (which I would be loathe to do) or installing a home security system, I much rather do the latter. Don't get me wrong, I would resort to violence if I absolutely had to but it is not something that I would rather be forced into. My personal belief is that violence only begets more violence.

Even in this small community I was shocked by how much crime seemed to be going around. Despite that there are fewer jobs, I also believe it is because that there are actually even less jobs for teenagers and young adults. Many of our teens don't have any kind of focus besides their school and without jobs, especially those who are coming from a poor family, there is very little home for them to escape the vicious cycle of poverty that is gripping them and our community. I hope that we are able to bring more jobs back home soon from overseas so that young men and women feel like they will be able to contribute something to their lives without having to resort to the only two options that apparently exist for them right now; crime or the military.

UltraTrust.com, a website on advanced estate and trust planning, owned by Estate Street Partners, recently released its financial investigative report of the jury’s decision on Thursday December 19, 2013 (3) that allows Ryan O’Neal to keep one of the Warhol portraits of Farrah Fawcett. UltraTrust.com discusses legal principles of ownership, possession, and personal property of this case.

“Possession is nine-tenths of the law,” states matter of factly, Rocco Beatrice, managing director for Estate Street Partners.

"This adage, which is often associated with the Hatfield – McCoy legal battle of the late 19th century, was recently applied by the jury in the case of University of Texas v. Ryan O’Neal, Case No. BC468468, in the Superior Court of the State of California."

At the center of this legal dispute, as outlined in the court documents, was a valuable objet d'art, a portrait of the late Farrah Fawcett by late American Pop Art master Andy Warhol.

According to a court records, Fawcett was introduced to Warhol by her on-off boyfriend of 30 years, Ryan O'Neal, in or around 1980, and the painter resolved to immortalize her beguiling visage on two portraits. O’Neal claims one was apparently given to her and the other to himself.

The two Warhols, where one of them has been valued at approximately $ 30 million as noted by BBC (1).

The University’s counsel, David Beck, declared in the the court papers that Fawcett deposited both paintings into the Fawcett Living Trust. Her trust bequeathed her art collection to her alma mater the University of Texas Austin (“UT”). The Board of Regents of the University, however, only received one of the Warhols from the trustee.

According to the Dallas Morning News (6), the University’s regents became aware of the existence of a twin Warhol portrait when a former Fawcett “secret” boyfriend came forward and explained that two portraits had been created. The University hired a private investigator, but the regents' investigation was conclusive after they saw a reality television show starring O'Neal called “Ryan and Tatum: The O’Neals” that proved the existence of the other Warhol: It was hanging on the bedroom wall of the actor's Malibu home.

The University sued O'Neal on the basis that the Warhol was part of the Fawcett Living Trust. Upon examination of court documents, UltraTrust.com holds that the Fawcett Living Trust was not specific as to the objects in the art collection bequeathed.

UltraTrust.com asserts the Fawcett Living Trust was challenged insofar as the nature of the assets, but the structure and intent was intact. It is clear that the late Charlie's Angels star left all the artworks in her living trust to the University; thus, the case went from probate to a challenge of possession and ownership concludes the UltraTrust.com statement.

UltraTrust.com does not believe that the asset protection feature of the Fawcett Living Trust has been breached. Getting a court order to enforce the terms of the trust and compel O'Neal to turn over the Warhol to the University could have been easier if sufficient documentation of ownership had been included in the trust.

In the end, according to court documents, it came down to a jury trial and deliberation of ownership. Several witnesses were called up. Jaclyn Smith, 68, Fawcett’s former co-star on “Charlie’s Angels”, Redmond O’Neal, 28, son of Ryan and Farrah, as well as Maribel Avila, nurse to Fawcett came to testify.

These witnesses all testified in favor of Ryan O’Neal. As reported on CNBC.com, Jaclyn Smith was quoted from the TODAY show (5), "I really feel Farrah would want that portrait with Ryan." After the juror’s decision, Redmond on the TODAY show felt that his mom “up there” had something to do with the outcome of the decision.

According to court documents, the University’s appeal to the jurors failed to turn the jury’s decision. During the trial, they presented to the jurors Fawcett’s reality TV show when she herself stated she was contemplating on whether to sell one of the Warhol portraits when both were in her possession at the time of the filming.

The University also cited documents, according to the courts documents, signed by Fawcett allowing the portraits to be displayed at the Andy Warhol Museum and stated she owned the portraits.

However, the UltraTrust.com believes the fact that O'Neal has been in possession of one of the Warhols was not lost on the jury. UltraTrust.com continues in its report that though Fawcett did enjoy both Warhols at some point in her life, there was an absence of clear and compelling testimony to indicate that she did not intend to share one Warhol with O'Neal.

The aforementioned witnesses presumed O'Neal to be the rightful owner, and the jury agreed.

UltraTrust.com, in its financial statement, points out that the Warhol portrait hanging in his bedroom has probably appreciated in value due to this public court case.

“If there is an O’Neal Trust in existence, then I would highly advise that he include the Warhol portrait as tangible personal property and insure it to protect this valuable asset,” counsels Mr. Beatrice.

“I would further strongly instruct the creation of an O’Neal Irrevocable Trust as opposed to a Living Revocable Trust. There is a vast difference between the two forms of trust.”

UltraTrust.com affirms there is one less major thing O’Neal has to concern himself with.

“He [Ryan O’Neal] does not have to worry too much about future ownership challenges; after all, he now has a solid common law precedent to rely on.”
