I've been quiet here because I've been spending my effort developing the Halcyon project for NaNoWriMo. It's been fascinating and challenging. Although the last week has been more of a struggle than the initial planning stages or the first two weeks of writing, I am still finding a lot of satisfaction in the work and interest in the process. It seems like every time I turn around, Halcyon grows. What started out as a short story has shifted to a novella, into a novel, and now possibly into a trilogy. It's daunting and exciting in turns and I am feeling the frustration that Ian talks about when there's such a rich world in your head that you're trying to capture in text. Oh, do I ever relate to that now.
Charles has been a fantastic collaborator, and I am finding the process of working with someone else really fruitful. Recently Nicole has been able to start offering her insights as well, which has been really incredible. Collaboration has kept me thinking and inspired, as well as teaching me about the limitations of my own experiences and perspectives. The meta thinking-about-thinking has been fascinating.
As the door opened, Shaava was surprised to discover the Collegium's Receptor intimidated her almost exactly as much as an adult dragon.
"A dragon? Likely story." He did not want to hear this. He took a step back into the hall, drawing the door closed with the movement. "Enjoy the afterno–" He found he couldn't finish the word, the air frozen in his lungs, everything about his movement arrested. If he could have expressed surprise, he would have. It had been a very long time since anyone had dared to cast a spell on him. He was the Receptor. His indignation would have been palpable, if only he could move.
"I intend to achieve this address one way or another, goodsir. I have travelled over a year with this single purpose. It would be kind of you to assist me with this endeavour." The spell loosed, restoring his movement and breath. Of course she would be a mage. Of all the rotten luck.
"I will perform a truth spell if you prefer, Sir," the cleric offered. The Receptor recognized an amulet of Keltyr around his neck.
"That would be far preferable to being ambushed," he replied, haughtily.
"You are familiar with how they work?" The cleric seemed unperturbed by the Receptor's sharpness.
The fog remained resolutely intact.
"If you would send it to the attention of the Sodality of the Stormborn, it would be deeply appreciated," the cleric replied, dispelling the fog.
He was successful in closing the door this time and as it latched shut he leaned against it, breathing heavily as the carefully suppressed shock finally surfaced.
A dragon. For the love of power, that damnable mushroom hadn't been lying.

Health Department Failed to Ensure Childcare Providers Tested Water for Lead: City Comptroller Audit

By Forum Staff
Department of Health and Mental Hygiene officials failed to ensure that childcare providers tested the water in their daycare centers for lead, and ordered staff to enter false information into the agency's tracking database to indicate that a lead test was completed at some facilities, even when it had not been, according to an audit released last Friday by City Comptroller Scott Stringer.
The Bureau of Child Care, a division of DOHMH, is responsible for overseeing and monitoring approximately 2,300 Group Child/Day Care providers in all five boroughs. A group daycare center is defined as providing childcare to three or more children under age 6 for five or more hours per week, and more than 30 days in a 12-month period.
In 2008, Stringer noted, the City Health Code was amended to require water lead tests at all daycare centers, but did not specify when those test should be conducted or how often. After the testing requirement was imposed, in an effort to enhance safety, in 2011 DOHMH's computerized database – CCATS – was modified to only allow permits to be issued with proof of a lead test and an appropriate remediation plan in the event the test had unsatisfactory results.
The audit reviewed permits issued to daycare centers from Aug. 29, 2012, through Aug. 29, 2014, and examined a sample of 119 providers to see if DOHMH maintained adequate controls to ensure that the daycare centers only got permits after meeting established requirements. Auditors did not perform any lead tests, nor did they look for evidence of sick children, but rather focused on the agency's oversight and operations of the permitting process, Stringer noted.
The audit's findings include:
DOHMH failed to fully enforce water lead test requirements, even though more than 10 percent of daycare centers that had completed lead tests showed positive results
Out of 119 sampled daycare centers, all of which received permits, auditors found evidence of a water lead test at only 49 (or 41 percent).
Of those 49 daycare centers that submitted tests, five were found to have unacceptable levels of lead. Three subsequently submitted a Corrective Action Plan and later received acceptable water lead tests, one remediated the condition and submitted an acceptable test and in the final instance, DOHMH determined that even though there was a positive lead test, it was within acceptable ranges.
For the 70 centers that did not have proof of tests, auditors found that the City did not have any water lead test results on file, in either electronic or hardcopy form, nor could the agency provide any evidence that its staff had received such reports.
DOHMH instructed staff to falsely record that water lead tests were performed where they had not been, allowing daycare centers to receive permits
Bureau of Child Care management directed staff in writing to record that the agency had received lead reports that showed acceptable results from the 70 centers—even where no such reports had been provided. In an email from agency management, employees were directed to enter the statement for each of the 70 centers: "Water Lead Test Negative in CCATS in order to issue permits."
By falsely recording that lead tests were complete, the agency was able bypass its own system requirements to issue permits for daycare centers. However, in doing so, they failed to ensure that lead water testing would ever be done at any of the centers.
Pressed to explain why centers were allowed to open without evidence of lead tests, DOHMH offered unsatisfactory answers
DOHMH said the requirement for testing had the unintended result of blocking renewal permits, which prompted them to create the "workaround" of instructing their staff to enter incorrect information into CCATS.
The agency said many of the providers for whom they took this action were under contract with the Administration for Children's Services or the New York City Housing Authority, and those agencies were responsible for lead tests. However, DOHMH provided no evidence to support this claim and the auditors' review of the 70 facilities with no evidence of lead tests found that 52 were neither ACS-affiliated nor in a NYCHA building.
Finally, Stringer said, the agency said it had ended the practice of entering false information about lead tests in 2012. But the auditor's sample, for permits from 2012 through 2014, found the practice had not changed.
There was no evidence that the 70 daycare centers ever showed that they had completed lead tests and the agency indicated it would only require lead testing if a child showed up with a high level of lead in his or her blood
Of the 70 centers where no evidence of a test result was found during Fiscal Years 2013-2014, 67 had applied for renewal permits and three for new permits. But in 2015, while the audit was underway, Stringer noted, there was no evidence that test results had ever been received from any of them.
According to agency officials, the only time that a day care provider would be required to be re-tested for lead would be in the case that a child tested for elevated levels of lead in his or her blood.
Stringer's audit issued several recommendations, including that DOHMH:
Ensure that no daycare center is issued a permit, new or renewal, without submitting a water lead test with acceptable results.
Follow up on the 70 daycare centers listed in the audit and ensure that they conduct lead tests as soon as possible.
Review its records immediately to see if there are additional centers, beyond the 70 listed in the audit, that indicate a negative lead test was received where it had not been, and ensure that a lead test is performed as soon as possible.
"The health of our children is non-negotiable," Stringer said. "The fact that the Department of Health directed its employees to enter false information in an official database is a blatant violation of public trust. It should not take an audit to ensure that a City agency is doing its job to protect our kids."
In response to the audit, DOHMH informed Stringer's office that it had reviewed all 70 child care centers identified as missing the results of a water lead test, and have since found that the 61 sites that are still operating are compliant with water lead test protocol and the remaining nine had closed. In addition, DOHMH announced that it had reviewed its entire database to finally ensure that lead tests had been conducted at all sites and found that 95 percent of the 2,300 daycare center sites did not have elevated lead levels and the remaining five percent had begun remediation.

I try to go through life looking on the bright side of things. But this week has really put that to the test. Last Sunday late afternoon, I started to feel a little odd so I took my temperature. It was 100.3. I had no other symptoms but just having the fever meant no school for me. Sounds great except I had to notify the school and get lessons together for my sub. Asleep that night I had a huge bout of sweats and my fever broke. Monday morning, no fever. 2 PM no fever, 7 PM fever is back. No school Tuesday. Notify the school and make more plans. I hate to make lesson plans for subs. (Later I found out the district had it's own issues on Tuesday, so it wasn't a total loss.) I go to school Wednesday but feel a little weak. Come home and sleep a lot, but no fever. Starlab is Thursday so I go in, although, since my voice is not real strong, I play a lot of music in Starlab. I like it and the kids seem to like it. Almost through the day on Thursday, I feel my mouth starting to feel funny and check it to see several canker sores inside on my tongue and side of the mouth. As I drive home I feel a bump on my lip rising, a cold sore. My wife and I had arranged a long time ago to visit a college campus this weekend and I had appointments I needed to keep, so we packed up and traveled to Daytona Beach. During this whole episode, let me say that Orajel was my friend. My fever was gone but my mouth was a mess. I nursed it as best I could and the sores are starting to fade away but it is not back to normal. My appetite this week was awful, leaving me with this one bright spot: I lost 11 pounds, in one week. This is not how I wanted to lose weight.
I sincerely hope that those are the final sick days of my teaching career. Stay tuned.

ACAS research suggests that employees with visible tattoos face discrimination in the workplace.
For employment law advice call our employment solicitors
Margaret Mountford, the former right-hand woman of Lord Sugar on the Apprentice, warned that tattoos were "a real problem" for young British people as it significantly erodes their prospects of obtaining and holding down a job. Mountford refused to have her hair washed by a stylist who had a tattoo.
Around one in five people in the UK have a tattoo rising to one in three for young adults. 14% of teachers have tattoos. Some people are completed covered in body art including face, arms and legs whereas others may just have small design on the ankle.
An ACAS study has discovered that negative attitudes towards people with tattoos can influence the recruitment process with employers concerned about how visible tattoos will be perceived by clients and customers.
A person's tattoos were often seen as being indicative of undesirable character-related attributes during job selection. It is difficult to establish the true level of tattoo discrimination as many employees and job candidates are unaware of the real reason they were denied promotion or a job.
Evidence from ACAS suggests that such discrimination is widespread particularly in the service sector where employees regularly engage with customers. Attending to self-presentation is perceived as enhancing the credibility and trustworthiness of the firm's product and/or service offering.
Some body art can be advantageous for job prospects especially where companies are seeking to attract a younger customer demographic. They may seek applicants with visible body art because tattoos can help project a youthful brand personality. Tattoos could also be seen positively in some areas of the creative industry where body art could be perceived as a demonstration of creativity and individuality which can be helpful in this sector.
Whilst companies are entitled to have rules around appearance at work, these rules should be based on the law where appropriate and business needs, not managers' personal preferences.
The ACAS dress code recognises that employers may wish to promote a certain image through their workers, and this can mean asking them to remove piercings or cover tattoos whilst at work. Almost three-quarters of an Xpert HR survey reported that the employer had dress code policies in operation. Tattoos and piercings were allowed in around 41% of the organisations surveyed.
Starbucks reacted to an employee-initiated online petition to allow workers to display tattoos on the condition that the tattoos are tasteful and not visible on the face or throat.
A female worker at a radio station had a tattoo over her foot and ankle. Company policy did not prohibit tattoos but required them to be covered. Because the employee's action did not constitute discrimination under any protected characteristic her discrimination action could not succeed. She was unable to pursue a claim for unfair dismissal as she had not worked at the radio long enough to sustain an unfair dismissal claim.
An employee with "Everything happens for a reason" on her forearm was dismissed as a waitress in 2013 following complaints from customers. A Next employee complained he had been forced from his job because his employers disliked his 80 tattoos.
Policies which restrict tattoos are commonplace in the UK. The Metropolitan Police bans them on the face, hands and above the collar line, as well as any which are "discriminatory, violent or intimidating". In 2012 music retailer HMV was criticised for issuing guidelines instructing staff to cover up their ink. Airlines frequently place restrictions on tattoos among cabin crew.
Under the Equality Act 2010 tattoos are not a protected characteristic so your employer could potentially legally discriminate against you on the basis that you have a tattoo.
Whilst the disability discrimination provisions of the Equality Act 2010 cover severe disfigurements (e.g. scars or birthmarks), any disfigurements relating to tattoos which have not been removed or piercings for decorative or non-medicinal purposes are explicitly excluded from the definition of severe disfigurement.
However, there is a grey area around tattoos interacting with religious or cultural practices where there is a risk of discrimination. If your employer has a tattoo policy which makes it a condition of employment then your employer will need to have good business reasons to justify the policy in case it breaches discriminatory legislation.
ACAS has found that banning tattoos in the workplace could result in disgruntled employees and potential legal challenges to employer policies on the grounds that they amount to a breach of human rights. Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights 1950 protects the right to freedom of expression.

I hope I am in the right place to get the info I need. I have used the original v1 from the early nineties and am currently on windows xp, just for paradox. The laptop is almost at the end of its life, so must move on. I will try to upload it to a windows 7 laptop in xp mode. But perhaps I should move up the paradox version ladder too. Can I still get v5 and would I be able to use my existing databases and would I easlily be able to use v5? Can it be used on windows 10? And what about the latest corel versions? Are these a step too far for thid it dinosaur. A few different questions but hope someone out there can help. In my narrow circle of uk friends no one has ever used paradox, sono help there. Looking forward to any input.

This archival photo shows the Langevin Block, the first federal building to be built outside the hill. The building on the West side of the Langevin Block is the former Rideau Club which was demolished in 1979 after it had been damaged by a fire. Forty years later, Public Works Canada and the NCC could think of anything better to occupy this prime location right in front of Parliament and add more to the already prestigious Wellington Street.
More subtlety, we can see buildings East (on the left hand side on the photo) of the Langevin Block where there is now the War Memorial. Slowly but surely, they let the urban fabric of that block (between Elgin and Sparks) erode and completely demolished it when the Russell House was destroyed by a fire. The continuum of buildings between the Langevin Block and the Union Station is no longer and allowed Wellington Street to be widened to 6 lanes.

Gators maintain top spot with others moving up our rankings
Jamil King
Kim Klement-USA TODAY Sports
Last week in Florida, we were given another gift with numerous programs winning! In college, the Gators, Canes, Owls, and even FSU came out on top. It wasn't all good news; however, with USF and UCF taking weeknight losses. And in the NFL, the Jags had a week off, while the Bucs and Dolphins were both victorious.
With some shocking results, this is how the top 5 looks in the state.
Florida Gators- The Gators keep the top spot after demolishing Vanderbilt over the weekend. Florida flexed all of their muscles in this one putting up 56 points and shutting out the Commodores. Kyle Trask had a career day with 363 passing yards and three touchdowns. Emory Jones also got into the action with three rushing touchdowns.
The defense was also a part of the scoring with Jonathan Greenard getting a scoop and score. The Gators turned it on in the second half with 28 points scored. The Gators will finish their SEC schedule next week, traveling to Missouri.
Florida Atlantic Owls- The Owls won a huge game over the weekend, defeating rival Florida International. The Owls rode the hot hand of running back Malcolm Davidson to a 37-7 victory. Davidson had 144 yards and three scores to lead the Owls to the "Shula Bowl" win.
The win keeps the Owls in striking distance for a C-USA east division crown. They still need Marshall to drop one of their next three games. Regardless, Lane Kiffin has done a terrific job this season, turning the Owls into one of the best teams in the conference.
Miami Hurricanes- The Canes have turned things around since the embarrassing loss to Georgia Tech. "The U" has now won three games in a row and looks like a whole new team. QB Jaren Williams had a career game with six touchdowns. The Miami offense is starting to look more like the offense many fans thought it would be to start the year with the addition of Dan Enos.
The Canes will take this win streak into their next game against cross-city rival, FIU.
Florida State Seminoles- Credit where credit is due, the Noles didn't quit. After going down 14-3 in the second quarter, FSU could have laid down and rolled over. Instead, they rallied and put up 21 points in a row. Then, Boston College came back from two scores down, and the Noles once again rose to the challenge winning the game 38-31.
On a day where Cam Akers was held in check, two QBs stepped up for FSU. James Blackman, and Tamorrion Terry destroyed the BC secondary, while third-string Jordan Travis took to carries and turned them into 12 points. The win puts the Noles in a position to become bowl eligible, something they failed to do last year.
Odell Haggins has this team playing with heart and will look to continue that this weekend against Alabama State.
Miami Dolphins- Who would have thought we would be saying this, but the Dolphins have won two games in a row. Facing back up Brian Hoyer, the defense forced three interceptions and keyed in on RB Marlon Mack. On offense, they did just enough with Ryan Fitzpatrick running in a touchdown and Jason Sanders nailing three field goals.
The Phins struggled to do anything on the ground with out Mark Walton in this one. Ryan Fitzpatrick also only threw for 169 yards.
However, a win is a win, and the Phins have two of those in a row. They could also be ending their chances to get the number one pick. Next, they will host the Buffalo Bills, and a win there would be a big win for the team but also the fatal blow to their odds at the number one or two pick.

Gators still alive for SEC Title game and more
Gators defense missed great opportunity Saturday
Jamil King is a young draft pick working his way up the depth chart on the F.F.I. roster, who enjoys watching and writing about all of Florida's football teams.
The Gators end to the season was just as predicted, and now, so too is the leaving of significant players for the NFL, etc.
Florida ended up getting the Virginia Cavaliers in the Orange Bowl and the second-best team in the weakest conference in Power 5 football was no match for the strong talented Gators.
Just before the conference championship games, it was predicted almost everywehre that Virginia would get trounced by the Clemson Tigers, but still be the most likely candidate to face the Gators in a "New Year's Six Bowl".
Once the game was confirmed and the lines came out, the Gators were listed as massive 16 point favorites at the best Sportsbooks around the nation.
And, when it came time to tee it up? Florida delivered a win.

— Orange Bowl (@OrangeBowl) January 9, 2020
The final score was 36-28, as Virginia hung tough by scoring 14 in the 4th quarter and got the backdoor cover on the point spread. Still, the Gators finished sandwiched between the Georgia Bulldogs and the Oregon Ducks at No.6 in the AP Top 25. But, will the Gators still be as good next season?
Will they be better? And who might they be missing?
That brings us to a few key players that have declared for the 2020 NFL Draft. Let's start by taking a look at them.
It seems that as receivers get bigger, corners have been getting smaller. So, C.J. Henderson (above) at 6'1" and 191 pounds is almost an oddity nowadays. He is long, athletic and extremely fast. In short, he was one of the best corners in college football. He's declared for the 2020 draft and could go in the first round.
But with so much talent at QB, we could see Joe Burrow, Justin Herbert, and Tua Tagavoilva all go in the Top-10. Then, when you factor in team needs and a few other great corners from Alabama, LSU, and Clemson in Treveon Diggs, Kristian Fulton, and A.J. Terrell, Henderson could fall into the second round. And, it could end up being a steal for some lucky team if that happened.
That said, the Broncos, Seahawks, Vikings, 49ers, and Dolphins all need help at corner. And the Seahawks would be a great landing spot, as they may favor him over some of the other top contenders for his excellent ability in man coverage. That is, if they don't fill another position need such as DE or OLB – which would make sense as well since they had the leagues lowest number of sacks during the regular season.
Seniors who will go on are Van Jefferson, Josh Grimes, Freddie Swain, and Tyrie Cleveland. And the Gators will lose some talent in their TE depth with Lucas Krull hitting the bricks. He was usurped by Kyle Pitts but still caught nine balls for nearly 110 yards.
It isn't a huge loss, as Pitts is one of the best TE in the SEC. But not having that extra option with experience at TE will hurt a bit. A handful of QBs will also be leaving. For starters Nick Sproles, a walk-on back-up out of Winter Park has been sitting behind both Franks and Trask. So, he elected to hit the transfer portal and take off.
QB Feleipe Franks will also step through the transfer portal to another school. His horrible ankle injury opened the door for Kyle Trask to take over. Now, we very well could see Franks move over to Kansas, as he had originally committed to former LSU coach, Les Miles, who's now there.
Although Trask is on the rise, this does hurt the depth chart. Emory Jones is reliable, but he's no Franks … at least not yet.
On top of this, Chris Bleich and Umstead Sanders both hit the transfer list. But, the Gators actually are not hurt by this, as they picked up Brenton Cox at OLB which is probably a big part of why Umstead elected to transfer.
Cox has solid experience at Georgia and will likely earn a starting spot with the Gators. He tallied 20 tackles, a sack, a pair for loss, and six tackles in the Sugar Bowl alone! Then, he also racked up three pass deflections on top of all that.
The Gators lost a lot of depth at receiver, but they pick up one with Jordan Pouncy. He's big at 6'2" and 205 and has decent speed.
All in all, the Gators won't be too much worse for the wear. And, with the shift in emphasis to the SEC West, they have great shot at winning the East and to play for the SEC title next season.
How legit are Dan Mullen to Cowboys rumors?
Spruce Derden- USA Today Sports
The Cowboys finally made the move to fire longtime coach Jason Garrett on Thursday night and there has been great debate about whether Oklahoma college coach Lincoln Riley will be his replacement? Now, comes more speculation that the Cowboys may be going with a college coach, but not Riley. Rather, it's a name that's very familiar in our state.
With the understanding that no one has credibly tied Gators coach Dan Mullen to the Cowboys vacancy, as of yet. There are rumors and speculation in the Dallas Market and around Mullen in Gainesville that there is mutual interest in him potentially heading to Big D. And there, he would be reuniting with his star college protege' from Mississippi State, Dak Prescott.
Prescott took over has the Cowboys starter unexpectedly in his rookie year (2016), when Tony Romo suffered a back injury. And, Prescott has had a very successful four year career in Dallas going 40-24 as a starter in the regular season, and including leading them to the playoffs and a playoff victory a year ago.
However, the Cowboys faltered down the stretch of the season and Prescott has been mostly blame for the offensive struggles. They lost head-to-head with the Eagles in week 16 and ended up finishing 8-8 losing the NFC East leading to Garrett's dismissal.
Another factor is Prescott is slated to be an unrestricted free agent after only making $2 million this year, and clearly, the Cowboys have to commit to him first before any rumored reuniting with Mullen could take place.
As for Mullen, he clearly has resurrected the Gators program over his two years since coming to Gainesville from Mississippi State. They have won 10 or more games in each of the seasons and won a "New Year's Six" bowl game over Michigan and Virginia in those two years.
It's unknown how much Mullen would value heading to the Cowboys vs. staying in Gainesville, but clearly he would make more money coaching for Jerry Jones in the NFL. Perhaps, he'd get as much as double his believed $6 million salary for the Gators.
Mullen and Prescott turned Mississippi State into a national power in 2014. That's when Prescott broke 12 school records, and finished eighth in the Heisman voting as Mississippi State ascended to the number one ranking in the country in October of that year.
The Bulldogs beat Georgia Tech in the Orange Bowl, as Prescott had over 500 yards of total offense in that game. He came back for a senior season in 2015 under Mullen and was first team All-SEC as well as a finalist for the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm award, while accumulating 4,300 yards of offense and 39 combined touchdowns.
By the time Prescott left Starkville he owned 38 school records and was a two-time All-American. Mullen and his staff deserve a good deal of credit for helping him with that.
So, on the surface, it makes sense that the Cowboys might have interest in Mullen, but then again, Jones has been infatuated previously with Bob Stoops at Oklahoma and now with Riley.
And, Riley produced back-to-back Heisman winning number one overall draft picks with Baker Mayfield and Kyler Murray the last two years. And, it's expected that his quarterback from this past season, Jalen Hurts, will also be drafted, if not in the first round, at some point.
Now, we wait to see if the rumors are just that, or if the Prescott-Mullen previous connection gains traction on Mullen heading to the NFL

How much is a Chevy Silverado worth?
The exact value of a Chevy Silverado will depend largely on the year, make, and model, as well as its condition and features. Generally, a used Chevy Silverado can cost anywhere from $13,000 to over $50,000.
Paid Kelley Blue Book and Edmunds value estimators are a good place to begin researching the value of a particular Silverado being considered for purchase. Be sure to factor in mileage and any additional features or aftermarket modifications to get an accurate estimate of the value.

Which American truck is the cheapest?
The resale value of a Chevy Silverado varies depending on the year, model, and condition of the vehicle. Since the Silverado is one of the most popular and reliable trucks in its class, its resale value remains higher than most other vehicles in its class.
Generally, Chevrolet Silverado resale values are among the highest of all pickup trucks on the market. The resale value of a Chevy Silverado can range anywhere from around $10,000 for older models in fair condition, up to nearly $50,000 for the latest model year.
Specific factors that can affect the resale value of a Chevy Silverado include its condition (including exterior paint, interior features, and technical features), features, model year, and even geographical location.
It's also important to consider factors such as mileage, service history, and other potential issues since these can all influence the value. Additionally, certified pre-owned Silverados recently resold at auctions generally garner higher prices, as buyers are willing to pay a premium for vehicles with a known history.
Ultimately, the best way to determine the exact resale value of a Chevy Silverado is to compare it to other Silverados offered for sale in the same area.
Yes, Chevrolet Silverados generally hold their value well. According to CarFax. com, the average 2017 Silverado 1500 2WD sold for $36,000, while the average 2018 Silverado 1500 2WD is currently selling for around $39,700.
The estimated five-year residual value (depreciation rate) of a 2018 Silverado is 49. 8%, indicating that the model can be expected to retain over half of its original retail value after five years of use.
Other factors that influence the resale value include the trim and the maintenance history of the vehicle. Silverados with higher trims, more features and superior condition tend to demand higher resale prices.
A Silverado with a well-maintained history and excellent condition can hold a higher percentage of its original value than one with a poor maintenance history and body damage.
When determining the mileage that is too high for a used truck, there are several factors to consider. Beyond the age of the truck and its mileage, factors such as the condition of the truck, its history, and the make and model should also be considered.
Generally speaking, it may be beneficial to consider anything with over 100,000 miles on the odometer to be too high. However, if the truck is in good condition and has been serviced regularly, it can be an ideal purchase.
The condition of the engine is the most important factor in determining whether the truck is worth buying. If the engine looks clean and doesn't show any signs of wear or neglect, the truck may still be a good purchase, even if it has 140,000 miles on it.
As a general rule of thumb, anything over 200,000 miles should be avoided. Additionally, if the truck is more than 8-10 years old, this should also be a red flag. It's important to be mindful of the cost of replacing parts on an older truck is generally higher, since parts may be harder to find or more expensive.
Ultimately, it's best to do research on the make and model of the truck to get an understanding of the truck's longevity and any common issues that may be associated with the model.
It is difficult to determine which truck lasts the longest, as the life and durability of a truck depend on many factors, such as the quality and performance of the truck, the level of maintenance and care it receives from its owner, and the environment or conditions in which it is used.
While many trucks have excellent reputations for lasting a long time and being reliable, it would be impossible to determine which specific truck model would last the longest without considering all the individual circumstances in which each truck is used.
When selecting a truck, it is important to buy a model that is known to be both reliable and durable, as well as one that will suit your needs. Commonly-used truck models that are known for their longevity and quality include the Ford F-150, the Chevy Silverado, the Ram 1500, the Toyota Tacoma, and the Honda Ridgeline, among others.
In addition to choosing a trusted brand and model, maintaining your truck properly over time can also help it last longer. Regular oil changes, as well as checking and replacing other fluids, lubricating and cleaning parts, and general care and attention between services are essential for any vehicle to ensure its longevity and durability.
Proper maintenance and care is essential to get the most out of your truck, and will help ensure it lasts as long as possible.
The exact number of miles a 1500 Silverado can last will vary depending on a few factors, including how well it is maintained, how an individual drives it, and the terrain. Generally, properly maintained 1500 Silverado pickups can last between 200,000 to 300,000 miles or more if it is regularly serviced.
Many owners of the 1500 Silverado have reported getting over 300,000 miles on their vehicles before they finally gave out. For example, one owner reported that his 1994 Silverado went over 406,000 miles before reaching the end of its life.
In addition, some owners have even reported up to 600,000 miles on the odometer. Ultimately, with proper maintenance, the mileage of a 1500 Silverado can vary greatly, but it the expectation of most people is that it will last for at least 200,000 miles.
It depends on the year, condition and other factors of the Chevy Silverado. Generally, if the Silverado is in good condition and properly maintained, 200k miles can be considered a lot of miles. This can depend on the particular model and where it has been used.
For example, if it is a Silverado that has been used for a variety of heavy-hauling or transporting materials, which usually carry a heavier load, 200k miles may not be considered a lot.
Additionally, if the vehicle has been properly taken care of and has had the right parts and fluids replaced when needed, 200k miles can still be considered a lot of miles. This is especially true if this is a more modern Silverado, with a higher number of miles at the current time.
A vehicle with less miles may be worth more and have a longer lifespan.
Overall, 200k miles can be considered a lot for a Chevy Silverado depending on its overall condition and usage. If regular maintenance has been performed and parts are in good working condition, it could still be a reliable and valuable vehicle.
The exact number of miles a Silverado 1500 will last depends on a variety of factors, including the level of maintenance it receives, driving conditions and the age and condition of the truck. A well-maintained Silverado 1500 could easily reach over 300,000 miles, while the average miles of a Silverado 1500 over its lifespan is expected to be around 150,000 to 200,000 miles, though it could be significantly less depending on its usage.
If you're looking to purchase a used Silverado 1500, you might want to aim for one that has been driven fewer than 100,000 miles or less as this will ensure it's still in good condition.
The answer to the question of what year is the best to buy a used Chevy Silverado depends on a variety of factors, including budget, desired features, and preference. In general, the model year of 2016, 2017, or 2018 may be a good option as these vehicles are relatively recent and offer a range of features.
On the other hand, some people may prefer to purchase an older model as they are less expensive and may be of higher quality due to the fact that they've had fewer owners. Ultimately, the best year to buy a used Chevy Silverado depends on the needs of the buyer and their expectations of the vehicle.
The Chevrolet Silverado is a popular pickup truck, but it can have some issues that may need addressing. Common problems include poor gas mileage, poor ride quality, poor engine performance, poor transmission shifting, poor exhaust fumes, and spark plug issues.
Additionally, Chevy Silverados may have corrosion and rusting issues in their wheel wells, water pumps, and on body parts like the tailgate and door handles. Wear and tear on the suspension and brakes can also occur over time, leading to a poor overall ride experience.
Finally, the recall history of some Silverado models can also be concerning, with some trucks experiencing repeated issues due to defective parts.
When it comes to determining which type of truck offers the most value, there is no single answer, as it depends on a variety of factors. Generally, trucks that have a higher resale value tend to have a better overall value.
Location will play an important role as some trucks may have a higher resale value if sold in certain areas, where trucks of that type are needed more. For example, large pickup trucks may have better value in rural areas while they may not be as desirable in an urban environment.
The make and model of the truck can play a significant role in the value. Some trucks are made of higher quality materials and components and will hold up better over time, leading them to have a higher resale value.
It's also important to consider how long it will take for a particular truck to depreciate. If a truck depreciates in value quickly, it may not be the best one to choose if you're looking for value.
It's also important to consider the cost of the truck upfront. The more expensive the vehicle, the more value it will likely have down the line. Cheaper trucks will, for the most part, have less value than a more expensive model if both have been taken care of and have similar mileages.
Do your research before making a purchase to determine which vehicle will hold the best value down the line based on where you're located and other factors.
Overall, trucks tend to hold their value better than cars. This can vary depending on the make and model of the individual truck or car, but generally speaking, trucks will retain more value over time.
This is due primarily to the fact that trucks are larger and sturdier than cars, and many are designed to be used as work vehicles. Additionally, the higher cost of trucks means there is a larger market of buyers looking for used trucks when compared with used cars.
The prices of new trucks also tend to be higher than those of cars, which helps to increase the value of the used market. Additionally, the increased focus on trucks for luxury and lifestyle vehicles has in turn made the used market for trucks even more desirable.
Finally, since many trucks have higher mileage ratings than cars, people also tend to buy used trucks with lower miles on them, assuming that the truck can handle more miles than a car. All of these factors help to contribute to the fact that trucks are typically more likely to maintain their value better than cars.
The cost of a Ford F150 or a Chevy Silverado is going to depend on several factors, including the model, trim level, and options you're looking for. When it comes to the base models of the F150 or Silverado, the F150 is usually slightly more affordable, though it could be closer depending on the exact options.
However, when you start looking at other trim levels and add-ons, the cost for each truck can get higher and vary significantly. Ultimately, the best way to compare the cost of a Ford F150 or a Chevy Silverado is to compare them side by side, with the same or similar specifications, to see which is better for your budget.
This really depends on your individual needs and preferences. If you are looking for a rugged, reliable vehicle for off-roading, then Silverado is probably the better option. Silverado offers an impressive selection of off-road features and it is built to withstand any terrain.
On the other hand, RAM offers a great selection of off-road features, plus a more comfortable ride with better towing capability. In terms of fuel economy, both RAM and Silverado offer similar engine options that are efficient, but Silverado has slightly better fuel economy overall.
In addition, RAM provides more luxurious features, such as touch-screen infotainment, active safety aids, and more, while Silverado is designed to focus on durability and performance. Ultimately, it is up to you to decide which vehicle is the better option; depending on your needs, either RAM or Silverado could be the right choice.
The cheapest American truck available will depend on a variety of factors, including the year, make, and model of the truck. Generally speaking, some of the most affordable American truck models include Chevrolet S-10, Dodge Dakota, Ford Ranger, and Toyota Tacoma.
The Chevrolet S-10 is a classic pickup style truck and was first released in 1982 and discontinued in 2004. It is known for its affordability and good fuel efficiency. The Dodge Dakota also has roots dating back to the mid-1980s and had a production run lasting until 2011.
This truck is available in both two-door and four-door models, and is generally known for its affordability and power. The Ford Ranger was released in the 1980s and stopped production in 2011, but some versions are still available for sale in the used array.
It is generally a reliable and affordable option for anyone looking for an American truck. Finally, the Toyota Tacoma is one of the newest models on the market, first released in 1995. It has become a favorite among truck enthusiasts due to its durability, affordability, and reliable performance.

With June already in full swing, the start of the summer is almost here. With the warm weather and time off from school, this is the most popular time to take a family vacation. Vacations are a great way to relax, have fun and make family memories, but proper planning is key to ensuring everyone has a good time. A poorly-planned vacation may lead to stress and disappointment, especially when you're traveling with a group. The right preparations are necessary to make sure everything falls into place. Follow some of these tips to prepare for an epic vacation this summer.
There's no such thing as planning too early, especially if you need to coordinate family schedules, such as time off from work and school. If you're traveling with a group and need multiple hotel rooms or special accommodations, making reservations as early as possible also ensures you can find what you need. Also, you're most likely to find the best price the earlier you book. Popular destinations fill up quickly, especially during the busy summer months.
Thorough research gives you a good sense of things you want to do and see before you reach your destination. You don't want to spend a week at your hotel not knowing that there is an award-winning restaurant right next door. Doing your homework gives you a feel for the area, helps you map out a plan with destinations for everyone to enjoy and makes it easy to have several itineraries in case inclement weather or other unexpected issues interfere with your plans.
There are plenty of user-friendly apps that minimize the stress and hassle of travel. Know the status of your flight before you even leave for the airport with the Allegiant mobile app. You can also use the Allegiant app to have your boarding passes at the tip of your fingers. When you get to your destination, use the AroundMe app to easily find restaurants, grocery stores, gas stations and other businesses or points of interest. Other travel apps include Localeur, which shows you local hotspots, and Sidekix, which provides downloadable city guides.
To make the packing process go as smoothly as possible, pack everything you might need a couple days before your departure date. The night before your flight, set several different alarms and plan a snack for the road. Pack up all of those important personal items as well – IDs, phone chargers, medication etc. Then you won't forget anything!
With the right planning, it is possible to have a vacation the whole family will enjoy. Simple steps like researching your destination and downloading handy travel apps help ensure that your next vacation is a memorable one.
