Droid and the learning curve is all part of it. At times I wish I had a Droid like R2d2 to quickly teach me all the cool features of this device. Don't get me wrong I love it, but I know it can do lots more or more efficiently then I am currently operating.
See, I am old enough to remember that we would get instruction manuals when we bought some electronic gizmo. Not now, you download it, but try to find the operations manual. I tried and then I tried to register the phone on the Motorola website. Following the instructions for the phone's magic MEID number which I then typed in and the system said was invalid. Back to square one.
I guess that I need a trainer or a true Droid professional who can walk me through the system and show me the in's and out's. You know just like we realtors do with our clients. Can you imagine our clients trying to Google the operations manual for real estate sales and purchase and then trying to learn all the local laws, contracts, market trends and then all the lending rules du jour. They can try, but it much easier to have the professional help out.
So all you Droid professionals can you help me find the operations manual or the link. I love the features that I have taught myself, but I know that I have only scraced the surface. I mean it's a phone, computer, MP2 player, camera, video recorder and that's just what I have learned.

Selling Your Home - "Should I list now or wait till the Spring?" That is the question. Well lets take a look at what is going on in the market. This is not your typical fall/winter home buying or selling season. There are two tax incentive programs that make it "time is of the essence" with your decision.
The $6,500 Move-Up / Repeat Home Buyer Tax Credit To be eligible to claim the tax credit, buyers must have owned and lived in you home for five consecutive years out of the last eight years.
The tax credit does not have to be repaid.
The tax credit is equal to 10 percent of the home's purchase price up to a maximum of $6,500.
The tax credit applies only to homes priced at $800,000 or less.
The credit is available for homes purchased after November 6, 2009 and on or before April 30, 2010. However, in cases where a binding sales contract is signed by May 1, 2010, the home purchase qualifies provided it is completed prior to July 1, 2010.
Single taxpayers with incomes up to $125,000 and married couples with incomes up to $225,000 qualify for the full tax credit.
So if you have lived in your home for 5 years and you match these qualifications then now is the time to list. Why? You only have until April 30, 2010 to get a binding contract and then the deal must close by July 1, 2010. Even better if you home is a "starter" home. It would be a great match for first-time homebuyers or empty-nesters looking to right-size.
Contact us if you need to know how many days it has been taking to sell homes in your neighborhood?

As we end another week with our soldiers fighting, and in harms way, all across the globe, it is only fitting that we learn a little about the origin of the most recognized of military bugle calls, taps.

Franklin TN Veteran's Day Parade began with the Church bells throughout the city playing God Bless America. Then the marching bands, youth groups...but most importantly the men and women of the armed forces passed under the American Flag which was suspended between two of the cities fire trucks. Enjoy a couple of the clips from the event...and if you did not get a chance today, get out over the next couple days and thank a vet for their service to this great nation of ours.
When the United States flag (Old Glory) becomes worn, torn, faded or badly soiled, it is time to replace it with a new flag, and the old flag should be "retired" with all the dignity and respect befitting our nation's flag. The traditional method of retirement is to incinerate the flag, but this does not mean that one should simply drop the entire flag (intact) into a fire.
Post Commander Gary Edick, will conduct the ceremony. During the ceremony participants are not burning a flag they are retiring a symbol of America's honor, courage, and strength.
The Program for the Days Events

Post First Vice-Commander - "Commander, since these flags have become unserviceable in a worthy cause and worn in a tribute of service and love, I recommend they be honorably retired from further service and be fittingly destroyed".
Post Commander - "Comrades, we have presented here these flags of our country which have been inspected and judged unserviceable. They have reached their present state in a proper service of tribute, memory and love. A Flag may be a flimsy bit of printed gauze, or a beautiful banner of finest silk. Its intrinsic value may be trifling or great; but its real value is beyond price, for it is a precious symbol of all that we and our comrades have worked for and lived for, and died for - a free nation of free men and women, true to the faith of the past, devoted to the ideals and practice of Justice, Freedom and Democracy. Let these faded flags of our country be retired and destroyed with respectful and honorable rites. Let no grave of our soldier, sailor or airman be unhonored and unmarked. Sgt-At-Arms, assemble the Color Guard, escort the detail bearing the flags and destroy these flags by burning. "Present Arms"
