For those interested in seeing Europe without the constant, hectic bustle of tourism, relaxing cruises on the Rhine River have proven to be a hit. In addition to a never-ending opportunity to learn to speak German, here is a list of several fun activities to partake in during a Rhine River cruise: Allstate: This town includes a medieval castle, a parish church dating to 1794, a historical museum, and numerous delicious restaurants. Glattfelden: Situated on the River Glatt just above its junction with the Rhine, this town is the hometown of Swiss writer Gottfried Keller and is frequently referred to in his novel “Der grüne Heinrich.” Over an old stone bridge is the nearby old town of Eglisau. Rheinfelden: A little town of 7,000 inhabitants situated on the left bank of the river, Rheinfelden is home to a popular salt-water spa, ancient walls and towers, the Fricktaler Museum, and St. Martin’s Church, which dates back to the 15th century.

As a result of the recent collapse of the real estate market, the word "foreclosure" has unfortunately become an often used word in the English language. This article contains information about types of foreclosures and how the process works.
As we know it today, foreclosure is the process by which a homeowner will lose his or her home to their lender. Just like the repossession of a car or furniture when the borrower does not pay, foreclosure allows the real property lender to take back the property if the homeowner falls behind on his or her payments.
The real property lender can do this because as part of its agreement to loan money to the borrower, the lender is granted a voluntary lien by the borrower which the lender can enforce should the borrower refuse or be unable to pay.
The most common form of foreclosure in the United States is known as a "non - judicial" foreclosure under the provisions of the power of sale clause contained in a mortgage or deed of trust. This method has become the most frequent type of foreclosure proceeding because unlike a "judicial" foreclosure no court action or judicial proceeding is required. In California, for example, virtually every foreclosure is a "non - judicial" foreclosure because it takes very little time and money to take back the property from the borrower.
As mentioned above, a "non - judicial" foreclosure process involves the sale of the property without court supervision. It is faster and cheaper than foreclosure by court order and unless stopped voluntarily by agreement, bankruptcy stay or court a ordered stay, can take less than six months.
Non - judicial" foreclosure proceedings have a variety of steps that culminate in what is known as a trustee's sale. At the trustee's sale the property is sold to the highest bidder. Should no bids be forthcoming the property reverts back to the lender. If there are bidders, the bank can keep the proceeds to pay off its loan and any legal costs. Amounts in excess will be used to pay off junior or subordinate liens. In the unlikely event that there is a balance after the payment of all liens it will be paid over to the borrower.
"Judicial foreclosure," is available in every state and required by some. This involves a lawsuit in which the bank asks for a sale of the real property under the supervision of a court. As with other court actions, "due process" permits the borrower to answer the suit and raise legal defenses. Ultimately a decision is made by the court in favor of either the lender or borrower. Should the lender prevail, the property is sold with the proceeds going to satisfy the foreclosing lender; other lien holders; and, finally, if there are any proceeds left, the homeowner.
