Are you tight on budget and looking for the best record player under $200? Read our guide and pick your favorite from our list! We tested the top 5 best record players under $200, so you don't have to lift a finger!
A good decision is always to go for a product not less than one step over the cheapest item. The small price difference in most cases leads to a whole range of upgrades. It's the same for turntables. Although more than $100 models are fine, investing in a $200 one is much more efficient and enriches the user's experience.
We did the research and chose a series of models which offer your money the best value. We'll talk about what you can expect from a $200 record player after we review them. As you are about to see, this segment is quite interesting.
Stanton T62 •	Sleek modern style that will look great in any home Hi-Fi setup.
•	The direct driven platter is a rare find in this price range.
•	Superb sound and build quality.
•	Lack of ports is disappointing and could be a bit limiting.
•	Definitely not the lightest or most portable of turntables.
Pioneer PL-990 •	A very simple, classic design that calls back to 60s vinyl era.
•	Audio is balanced, clear, and high quality.
•	Automatic tonearm mechanism works very well.
•	The aesthetic is fairly divisive; you'll either love it or hate it.
Numark PT-01 •	Feature packed with every possible connection you could ask for.
•	Great value for such a unique and creative product.
•	The adjustable scratch dial is easy to use and learn with.
•	The build quality isn't the most robust for something so portable.
•	The design won't appeal to everybody.
Crosley C100A-SI •	An authentically vintage design that accurately captures an era.
•	The s-shaped tonearm works well.
•	Audio quality doesn't live up to expectations.
•	Bass, in particular, vastly lacking in presence.
Music Hall USB1 •	Lots of control over its performance.
•	Modular tonearm that allows for cartridge replacement.
•	Decent performance that is consistent.
The T62 has a smart design, superb construction, and even better sound. To give the budget consumer the desired quality, Stanton entered a crowded market! Some features like a USB interface and ports may be missing, but we can forgive due to the overall sound and quality. Excellent music in an affordable package. More cash for date night!
As far as portability is concerned, the T62 is quite compact and is somehow much heavier than it looks like. This can make it a little more difficult to transport than we want from a device usually constructed with some movement element in mind at this price range.
Combining great sound quality with reliability and low cost, the Stanton T62 is the best record player under $200 that we recommend you try!
By removing many of the elements that may block the products offered by similar products in order to focus on sound, Pioneer tackled the catering problem for the very affordable end of the turntable market with the Pioneer PL-990. And the good news is the pretty darn good sound!
This daring entry is enhanced by a classic design. Having said that, the design may be rather split. It's a flashback to the vinyl days and you'll like how well Pioneer captured the golden age of record players if you're into something like that. However, the PL-990 will not work to tick a box if you prefer a more modern aesthetic.
Numark knew exactly what they wanted to make within the PT01 Scratch-an affordable and portable tool for creative DJs and artists. Leistung, is great and the turntable is packed with features for a budget product of this kind. This is not a turntable on your bookshelf-the Scratch likes to be picked up and played! No collar required, though!
The PT-01 design will be quite partial. It is certainly a pretty flashy turntable, which is distinguished by the shiny red highlights. But you're likely to find it graceful and tacky if this isn't your taste. Another problem is building quality: it should be mobile and moved often.
The C100A was a strong effort by Crosley, but nonetheless, it is a demonstration that, even when that involves sacrificing something in certain areas, the market increasingly needs lower-end modeling to provide more functions. Audio quality cannot fulfill the epic feature list it implicitly promises.
This is a pity since Crosley usually delivers an overall experience that is fairly balanced, but this particularly lacks in a turntable that captures the vintage looks of old record players from the golden vinyl age but simply doesn't have the price tag to guarantee. We advise you to look elsewhere.
Music Hall USB1 is one of the cheapest models for those who want a decent sound and USB. The control system offers lots of adjustable tonearms, anti-skating system, and a removable cartridge. If it had only a shiftable amplifier, it would be an excellent deal at a very competitive price range.
Some consumers can be dismayed because the USB1 has a plastic base that certainly doesn't feel as robust in this price range as other competing products. While we agree that it is not necessarily ideal, it should be pointed out that its portability, is improved so that it is much easier to move without too much trouble to different places.
Whether you are right in this sector or not depends on how serious you are about types of vinyl and how diligent you are about audio quality. You might want to start right here if you are a type of person who wants to have long-term vinyl tones. Otherwise, your purchased turntable will be extremely limited, which will put you in the first place where you started. Not to mention, the very fast depreciation of cheap record players.
The best way to get into this hobby is probably to spend $200 on the turntable. We try not to judge anybody because vinyl is something we can get behind, even with an affordable rotary table. However. A big' but' is there. We think that if you have a deep love for records, a model of $200 will get you a lot more bang for your dollar. All of the above-mentioned people are geared to this kind of experience, so we have chosen them for this guide. Again, try to perform the maximum amount of research since so much is needed.


Howard Weil was hitting tennis balls with a friend when the shoulder pain that had been bothering him grew so intense that tears started streaming down his face. Howard had always been a physically active person. In addition to playing racquet sports, he enjoyed spinning and had run several marathons.
Howard wasn't ready to slow down, although he realized that he probably would need shoulder surgery if he was going to continue to do the things that he loved. He already had seen several orthopedic specialists for his shoulder pain. In fact, he thought he had found the right surgeon. He felt confident that someone who had performed upwards of 3,000 shoulder surgeries could get him back on the tennis court.
Howard was stunned by his doctor's decision, but grateful for his honesty. He asked his doctor if he knew of a surgeon who was up to the challenge. His doctor told him he could only recommend two shoulder specialists in all of the Chicago area, one of whom was Craig Phillips, MD, of Illinois Bone & Joint Institute (IBJI).
Dr. Phillips had brought his expertise to IBJI from his practice at The University of Chicago where he had focused on resolving the most complex shoulder and arm problems. Even so, he knew that Howard's condition was extreme. "Not only did Howard have severe arthritis in his shoulder, he had worn out the socket in such a way that there really wasn't any bone stock that we could use to do a normal shoulder replacement," explained Dr. Phillips.


The finished van/tiny home. It weighs in at 6,600 lbs. Well under the GVWR of 8,600 lbs. The total build added 1,300 lbs.
Cleared out and ready to get started. It took a day to rip out all the factory trim and riveted cargo rails. I made a dump run to get rid of it.
The day I bought a 2006 Ford E250 off Craigslist. Blank slate!
Just some surface rust. There were a couple holes in the floor. I used metal reinforced bondo to patch the holes.
Runners for the floor. Glued down with liquid nails.
Insulation between the runners, and OSB going in.
OSB floor complete. It flexed a lot because the metal floor was uneven had been dented from use as a cargo van. I eventually drilled a bunch of holes in the OSB to fill the underneath with great stuff foam. That took care of the flex.
I installed a backup camera because reversing in a van with no windows is scary.
This is the giant hole cut I cut out of the van to access the propane tank. I'll be honest, this was terrifying. I wasn't 100% sure the propane tank I bought off amazon would fit in the space, with the brackets I had fashioned out of L brackets and sheet metal. I hadn't ever used a jig saw on metal before, and I wasn't really sure what I was doing. I just went for it and it worked out pretty well.
10 gallon propane tank installed! It fits!
And then I did it again with a better color of spray paint. Cub cadet yellow.
I used 30 cans of great stuff foam to fill the cavities. I vastly overestimated the amount of space that one can was useful for, and ended up making like 4 home depot runs by the end of this day. It took a while, but in the end it was a relatively cheap and easy way to insulate the dead space between the inner and outer sheet metal layers.
Insulating the walls. For all the window wells, I put up two layers of reflectix with an airtight gap of a few inches between them. Seems to work well enough. The second layer is visible in the later photos. I held it in place with high strength metallic HVAC tape.
Hightop constructed by Fiberine in LA. I've got nothing but good things to say about these guys. They do quality work.
Cutting a hole in the brand new roof to install the maxxfan. A little unnerving, but this was pretty straightforward compared to the propane access panel.
This is what the roof is made out of. Fiberglass and wood. Very sturdy!
I built an entry way out of wood to replace the plastic trim. I think it makes the van a little homier.
Installing the flooring. I used spraylock 3100 to bond the floor to the OSB.
Flooring and entry step complete!
Luan plywood with a light stain for the walls and doors. I used water based 2 in 1 poly stain on all of the plywood in the van.
Paneling going on the slider door. A jigsaw is a van builders best friend.
Bed frame constructed, and back doors paneled with luan plywood.
Batteries sitting inside the bed frame and secured in place with 3/8" bolts through the van body. The batteries total ~200lbs, so I wanted those very well secured.
300 amp hours AGM deep cycle batteries with a 2000 watt pure sine wave inverter. Powers a blender or microwave without any trouble.
Electrical panel with light switches, usb outlet, MPPT solar controller, inverter switch, and LP/CO detector.
Carpet and 1/4 plywood walls going in. I bonded lightweight carpet to the hightop with 3M high strength 90 spray glue.
Building the galley from a re-purposed kitchen cabinet, free off craigslist. These are built out of particle board, so I hacked it apart and reinforced it with hard wood.
Propane lines complete and checked for leaks. One for the stove, and one for a propane heater if it gets cold.
I sanded the counter and gave it a good soaking with butcher block oil.
This day, I finished building the bed and enjoyed some dinner in the van. The bed is hinged on both sides to make cargo access easier.
Fridge/freezer installed. I bolted it through the floor of the van, so it doesn't move at all. Testing the stove too.
Amp installed for sound system. $13 off amazon. Sounds good enough.
Memory foam mattress. VERY comfy.
My mom helped sew fabric on a block of memory foam to use as the bed extension, making the bed about 6 1/2 feet long!
Reinforcing the cargo area above the cab. Swivel seat in view too.
Testing the freezer, with the bear necessities. The fridge draws 3.1 amps when it cycles on. I estimate is draws around 35 amp hours a day. 200 watts of solar panels fully recharges the batteries by sometime in the afternoon when it is sunny out.
Installed a ladder for easy access to hang out on the roof or clean the solar panels.
Water jug, and storage held in place with bungee straps. I replaced this cheap water jug with LCI water jugs that are built for military use. They are much beefier, and I am confident that they will never leak. They are 5 gallon and I have two of them. I can drain to the street or into another jug.
A tour of the build process over the last 4 months. The van is now ready for adventures!

Eight of my fellow quilters from the Thunder Bay Quilt Guild are doing a denim shirt round robin. I especially enjoyed adding this rouched rose to this particular shirt. One person had added the red, white and blue prairie points to the collar and yoke. Another person machine embroidered the red, white and blue patriotic butterfly. So I decided to give the butterfly something to eat by adding a red rouched rose.

User Experience for Startups
The pressure of immediate success has driven countless startups to failure well within their first year of liftoff. These are organizations that are taking their first steps out into the world, wobbly as they may be, and are expected to emerge with a flagship product or service that they're based around. The problem is, they're new. They're babies. Every startup begins on a buckling platform without the time or resources to spare.
Every extant business with skin in the game has already established a support system that startups lack to keep their projects moving at a pace they're comfortable with. Money for startups, however, is inherently a scarce commodity that severely limits their chances of creating a successful business. Being strapped for cash, they need a winner that best utilizes the UX design practice.
UX (User Experience) fulfills the fundamental roles that dictate the value your product holds. UI (User Interface) may be important in how your user base interacts with it, but UX is what brings them back. Do they enjoy it? Does it serve a functional purpose? With so much riding on it, it's important to start off with a high standard.
Take input from the customers' experience so that you might act on it. Blindly thrashing in the dark and guessing at what your consumers want if a fool's game. Mastering your UX game is the quickest way to push your startup off to a strong start, and doing so requires strategy. There are two primary strategies that are tailored toward designing UX for startups: Minimal Viable Product (MVP) and Lean UX.
We'll talk enough about both to get you underway.
Minimal Viable Product (MVP)
Everything has a first draft. Whatever field you're in, the best advice you can ever be given is to stick to a project and, regardless of how you feel about its progress, see it through to completion. We have an innate desire to create a masterpiece on the first go-around, but are equally restrained by this non-permissive mindset. The only way to learn and make something better is to first find what should be changed.
Creating a Minimal Viable Product excels in exercising feedback and converting that into results. We said the most important thing is to finish the draft, and that's how projects should be treated – as drafts. They're not perfect, nor should they be. By creating a product that is the simplest, most basically functional version of an app, you then proceed to evolve it on the next draft.
All an MVP needs to do, at least for the first version, is work. It may not be pretty, but it should deliver customer value well enough to be considered an eligible app. It's a smaller version of a full app, far and away from what it will eventually be, but working through it stage by stage, version by version, allows you to extrapolate on the feedback provided by the user base and roll out new and more features with each update.
There is no more perfect form of data collection than what can be provided by the test audience. The more they tell you, the more you'll be able to understand what the user wants, needs, and how you can develop your app to meet those demands. Developing a series of MVPs as an evolutionary process is what allows for feedback from the users along the way, keeping costs low by being able to release the software early without having to develop the full project.
If you're interested in more detail about MVPs, you can visit this "Minimum Viable Products (MVPs) – What Startup Weekend Taught US" resource page. It contains a greater depth of focus on MVPs in particular than this article will.
Now, let's contrast this approach with its polar opposite: the Waterfall. Whereas creating MVP products is a cyclical process that incorporates user feedback as a major component, taking the Waterfall approach is extraordinarily linear. Rather than making several iterations of the same product, an entire program is procedurally worked on step by step before the final product is launched. It's an approach that gets you from point A to point B, no detours.
While the Waterfall approach predates most modern developing cycles by a couple decades and still retains popular usage with 95% of companies, it has more than a few glaring drawbacks. For starters, the product is regarded as one complete piece for the entirety of the development cycle. Without working on it piece by piece, vis-a-vis MVP, the approach takes considerably longer to develop.
No product, prototype or otherwise, means that your organization isn't making any money. Without test iterations to deliver to the public, every Waterfall project is a sink that absorbs funds and resources until it can be launched. Moreover, locking your development team into a project that's insulated from outside feedback increases the risk of widespread failure once the project does finally reach the market. If the consumer is entirely ignored, then there's no way of knowing for certain whether your work meets their needs and desires.
Lean UX Design for Startups
Using the MVP method is good, but even that will eventually reach its own natural end, leaving a final product that's still very good, but not quite perfection. There is, after all, always going to be something you could have done to make an improvement. What if you were to improve on the MVP methodology itself? What if you could create an Orobouros, an infinitely repeating cycle that would only end when you decided it would?
Lean UX design, for all intents and purposes, takes its own initiative on that front. It revolves around a process known as the "Lean Loop," a series of steps prioritizing recursive measures throughout the development process. The Lean Loop strives to improve on the tenets of the MVP, creating a faster and more adaptable successor.
In regards to setting up a Lean UX, all you need is to start with your MVP. From there, the continuation and growth of the product is done once you transition into the Lean Loop, acceptable at virtually any stage in the loop. The transition begins once you follow the steps of the circle and develop a new product.
The Lean Loop
As you can see with this visual representation, there's no established exit to the loop. It's intentionally designed to replicate a constant process, endlessly creating and returning to a project on a fast and effective basis. Because it's a constant process, and although these are individual steps that form its framework, it's important to follow along all of it to enhance the product. Skipping any one of them at any point in the process can grind and slow your overall progress down unintentionally.
While you can technically start the Lean Loop from any of the steps, it's easiest to begin with something intangible. You might have already developed a project from the MVP method, or perhaps you're starting completely fresh, but this is the section that regurgitates innovative plans for the future of the product.
Consider the ideas segment where you put your hypothesis, divining information gathered from previous iterations. The feedback you've learned from the user base can be put to use here, putting into motion changes to be made to the product. Anything that you learn from the previous iteration are molded into new ideas here, informing where and how you go about developing the next one.
While this step may say imply that you're building the app, we're not quite there yet. You're more accurately constructing the framework of what your next iteration will look like, designing a structured approach for the rest of the project. From here, you will elaborate on the idea you had from the previous step and turn it into a usable and viable feature for the project. Basically, you'll be expanding on it and considering how it should be implemented to best suit the next steps of the cycle and the consumer.
If the build step is the framework, then coding is the bricklaying. You'll be turning your concepts into tangible code, filling in what the building segment laid out and creating a tangible solution to the proposed idea. By the end of this step, you'll have a finished iteration of your product to be fully tested.
Once you have a coded product, you'll need to test it. While testing itself is an assumed step within the circle, measuring is the portion that actively records everything relevant within the sphere of app usage. You'll be gathering what was gained or lost throughout the development process with analytics or feedback.
For instance, you may want to track what people are or are not using, especially certain functions of the software. If you find that one of your new changes to the code resulted in consumers not interacting with newly included functions, or perhaps older functions were rendered obsolete by the reworking, you may derive new conclusions regarding what may need changing in the next iteration.
Making those deductions isn't a part of this step, however. What's important is figuring out what the most important metrics to track are and obtaining raw data collection of anything relevant to those statistics.
Any measures you take from the previous step are going to be convoluted and virtually impossible to obtain anything meaningful from. It's a jumble of data that can't be sifted through in its basic state. That's why, for the next step in the Lean Loop, your job is to make sense out of the chaos. Once you've gathered the information, the next logical thing to do is compile it.
By compiling data, you'll be able to properly analyze the influx of information for focused interpretation. It may not have made much sense in its raw form, but once you figure out what the measurements mean, you'll be able to draw reputable conclusions that inform the next step in the process.
This is arguably the most important step in the entire loop. Without learning from past experiences, any future ideas may be subject to falling in on old, failed habits, practices, and concepts. Learning from failure is what greases the wheels of the cycle, keeping each iteration a natural, tangible evolution from the last one.
In this step, you're taking what the data says and figuring out what this means to you and your project. Every idea spawns a new framework, which in turn provides the code with a structured outline to follow. Once you have a new theoretical improvement on your iteration, its testing should reveal a trove of new information, which can then be sorted, measured, and compiled to reveal vital metrics regarding the functionality of your product.
Then, once all the other steps are completed, you learn.
By hitting each iteration against a rock, you're seeing what works and what doesn't. By learning you can inspire new ideas to improve on the new iteration, either fixing old problems and generating brilliant new solutions. Then, once you've finished learning, you can develop an idea and start the cycle over again, perpetually continuing like a snake eating its own tail.
Creating a startup is risky business. There's not a whole lot of room for error, meaning what you produce has to hit consistent high notes to keep your organization above the waterline. With a limited budget and limited time, the best way to ensure you reach safety is by dabbling in processes that generate products quickly and efficiently, regardless of how rough they are. The goal isn't perfection, it's creating something that can be improved on as fast as possible.
You have two options available for that: MVP and Lean UX design. Creating MVPs is the core of what this fast-paced process is intended to do – create a product that's just functional for base consumer value and get it out there. Through feedback, your next pass on it will make another iteration that's like the first one, but better.
By the same virtue, Lean UX design is just an evolved form of the MVP method, except it creates a system that's endlessly reusable until you can make the final decision and say, "Done."

General Motors boss 'deeply sorry' after deadly crashes
Apr 2, 2014 603 Viewed	Alka Anand Singh Comments Off on General Motors boss 'deeply sorry' after deadly crashes
Washington – Conceding company officials knew of their cars' potentially deadly ignition switches for years, GM chief Mary Barra apologized on Tuesday and said the automaker had a "civic responsibility" to make things right.
The manufacturer is under fire for not recalling Chevrolet Cobalts, Saturn Ions and other General Motors models over the past decade, despite its own evidence that the defects were posing a major hazard.
Thirteen deaths have been linked to the problems, and GM eventually issued mass recalls this year.
Barra said GM has acknowledged the problem, launched an exhaustive review to determine what and who is responsible, and pledged top-to-bottom changes in shifting from a "cost culture" to a focus on safety and quality.
"Today's GM will do the right thing," she told a House investigations panel in Washington.
"That begins with my sincere apologies to everyone who has been affected by this recall," she added. "I am deeply sorry."
Lawmakers pointed to internal documents showing GM at first refused to change the faulty switches because it would have been too costly.
The lawmakers, and Barra, expressed astonishment that the company went ahead with using the parts even though they did not meet GM standards.
"That is not something that I find acceptable," Barra said.
"Today… if we know there is a safety defect on our vehicles, we don't look at the cost but at the speed at which we can fix the problem."
Heaping pressure on the automaker, weeping relatives marched up Capitol Hill, clutching images of their loved ones, to demand accountability from GM and tell how their children died in vehicles they said the company knew were faulty.
Barra said she met privately on Tuesday with crash victim relatives, some of whom watched her testify.
'$2 too much'
The auto giant faces mounting legal troubles, including a Justice Department probe and lawsuits from people injured and families of those who died in crashes allegedly tied to the ignition issue.
Analysts have already speculated that the trouble could cost the company billions of dollars in penalties and damages, on top of huge recall costs.
Lawmakers argued tragedy could have been avoided if GM acted swiftly to fix a serious but inexpensive problem.
"Two dollars. That's how little this ignition switch could have cost to repair," said Senator Ed Markey.
"But that was apparently $2 too much for General Motors."
Also testifying was acting administrator David Friedman of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the auto safety agency under attack for not acting on its own evidence that the ignitions posed risks.
But Friedman cast blame on GM, saying the company withheld crucial data that would have triggered an in-depth probe years ago.
"If they saw a defect, then they needed to report that to us," Friedman said.
Several lawmakers said GM and NHTSA repeatedly missed or ignored red flags.
"It is important that we get to the bottom of this," said congresswoman Marsha Blackburn. "We want to know who knew what when – and Ms. Barra that includes you."
GM pledges transparency
Barra, a lifetime GM employee who only took the company helm in January, said she did not know if any senior executives were aware of the ignition debacle early on or suppressed crucial information.
But "sitting here today, I cannot tell you why it took years for a safety defect to be announced," she said. "When we have answers, we will be fully transparent."
GM has hired lawyer Kenneth Feinberg, who handled the September 11 and BP oil spill compensation cases, to study how it should address victims of the accidents.
"We do understand that we have civic responsibilities as well as legal responsibilities" to make amends for incidents prior to the company's reorganization, Barra said.
Legally, GM's 2008-2009 rescue by the government and bankruptcy reorganization could shield it from previous liabilities, a scenario that has infuriated some lawmakers.
Since February, GM has recalled 2.4 million cars covering model years 2005-2010 over the faulty ignitions, which can abruptly switch into "accessory" or "off" position while in drive, especially when the car is jolted.
That can turn off the car's electrical systems, including safety airbags, preventing them from inflating in a collision.
GM's documentation shows it was first aware of a problem in 2001 when the cars involved were in pre-production.

Kelly & Kevin were married almost two years ago at the quintessential Maine venue, The Maine Maritime Museum in Bath, Maine. As they await the arrival of the next generation, we got to work on creating their custom heritage wedding album with their favorite images from the day. I absolutely love this part of my relationship with couples as it gives me the chance to see what images that I captured for them are their favorite and mean the most to them. Narrowing down their choices to the ones that will be able to tell their wedding story for generations to come can certainly be challenging, but the end result is so worth it!

When you rent a roll off dumpster, you will be enticed to throw anything and everything inside. Common items that individuals typically dispose of in a dumpster include solid waste material and most routine household and construction waste, along with tree limbs and landscaping debris. They could be utilized for company and commercial cleanouts, home renovations, getting cleared of junk when you're moving to a new house, bigger landscaping occupations and more.
A list of stuff you cannot put in a roll off dumpster includes paints and solvents, automotive fluids, pesticides, chemicals, electronics and batteries. Should you try and include these items, you'll likely get an additional fee. Other items that will definitely incur an additional fee include tires, mattresses and appliances. Additional heavy materials are also not permitted; items which are too hefty may surpass authorities transport regulations and be unsafe to haul.
Building Dumpster Rental in Escalon - Do You Want One?
The most frequent exception to this rule is when you have a truck that's large enough to transport all construction debris to a landfill or landfill drop off point. If you're working on a little bathroom remodeling project, for example, you may find that you can fit all of the debris in a truck bed.
Other than very little projects, it is suggested that you rent a dumpster in Escalon for construction projects.
If you're not certain whether your municipality accepts construction debris, contact the city for more information. You will probably discover you will have to rent a dumpster in Escalon. Setting debris outside for garbage removal could potentially lead to fines.
You are going to normally schedule the amount of time you intend to keep the dumpster when you first phone to set up your dumpster service. This usually includes the drop off and pick-up dates. Most firms do ask that you be present when the dumpster is delivered. This really is necessary to make sure the dumpster is placed in the most effective place for your project. You really do not have to be present when the dumpster is picked up to haul it away.
In case you get into your job and recognize you need pick-up sooner or later than you initially requested, that's no difficulty. Simply phone the organization 's office and explain exactly what you require, and they will do everything they can to accommodate your request. There might be times they can't meet your adjusted schedule precisely because of previous commitments, but they will do the best they can to pick your dumpster up at the right time.
Most residential areas enable roll off dumpsters. For those who own a drive, then you could usually park the dumpster there so you really do not annoy your neighbors or cause traffic problems by putting it on the road.
Some jobs, however, will necessitate setting the dumpster on the road. If this applies to you, then you should talk to your city to discover whether you must get any permits before renting the dumpster. In most cases, cities will allow you to keep a dumpster on a residential road for a short quantity of time. In case you believe you'll need to keep it to the road for several weeks or months, however, you will need to get a license.
One of the most important things to do when you are considering a building or remodeling job is to plan ahead. Part of that process will likely be studying your dumpster needs for the job. Understanding ahead of time how dumpster rental in Escalon functions will make things easier when you start the process. It's possible for you to find most of the general info you need online, but for information specific to your area, you'll need to call your local business. Ensure that you ask about any hidden or extra fees so that you don't get stuck with a surprise statement.
One of the biggest parts of your research will be determining the correct size container you should rent predicated on the size of the undertaking. This is going to be your largest cost, so be sure you get a size that is large enough to survive for the entire job. Other problems to research first include a possible place for the container, the type of waste which you're throwing away and the length of time you will need the dumpster.
Dumpster rental businesses commonly have set costs, but the fine art of negotiation is always in play. Should you'd like to dicker on the purchase price, call around to other firms first so you know what the going rental rate is. When you're talking to the company you would like to use, merely mention other costs that are better than theirs. Some firms WOn't just fit that lower cost, they're going to actually overcome it to suit their customers.
You can even ask about discounts when you're renting a dumpster in Escalon. Some firms will provide special discounts to active members of the military, veterans, seniors, members of the neighborhood Chamber of Commerce and more. It really never hurts to ask; you can sometimes save up to 10 percent or more with this approach.
You can even save on the cost by asking about the very best way to prevent additional expenses (such as tipping fees or overage charges) and making sure you order the right size container; you do not desire to pay for more container than you actually desire.
Obviously you need to spend as little money as possible when renting a dumpster in Escalon. Occasionally, though, the most inexpensive dumpster rental in Escalon option isn't worth it. In fact, it might end up costing you more in the long term.
Taking the cheapest choice could mean that you get a dumpster that is too small for your endeavor. After you fill up the dumpster, you should have to cover another to complete your job. It's usually cheaper to get a larger size and prevent the hassle.
The most affordable dumpster rental companies in Escalon might not include things like drop off and pick up fees. Ensure your quotes include all extra fees. That way, you can compare costs accurately to get the best price. Customer support another major concern. Some companies keep costs low by cutting corners on service. The final thing that you want would be to waste time awaiting a truck to arrive with your dumpster.
If you rent a 30 yard dumpster, you'll be getting a container which will carry 30 cubic yards of waste or debris. Your 30 yard container will measure about 22 feet long by 8 feet wide by 6 feet high. These numbers could vary somewhat depending on the dumpster rental business in Escalon you pick. A 30 yard dumpster will carry between 9 and 15 pickup truck loads of waste, therefore it's a great option for whole-home residential cleanouts in addition to commercial cleanup projects.
Determined by the size of your project, you might need a small or big dumpster that can hold all of the debris and left over materials.
The most ordinary dumpsters comprise 10-yard, 20-yard, 30-yard, and 40-yard models. When you are in possession of a small project, including clearing out a garage or basement, you can likely benefit from a 10-yard or 20-yard dumpster. When you have a bigger project, including a complete remodel or building a new house, then you'll probably need a 30-yard or 40-yard dumpster.
Many people choose to rent a bigger dumpster than they think they are going to want. Although renting a bigger dumpster prices more money, it is more affordable than having to an additional dumpster after a small one gets complete.
Trash removal vs dumpster rental in Escalon - Which is good for you?
If you own a job you are going to undertake at home, you might be wondering if it's better to hire someone to come haul off all your trash and crap for you, or in the event you should only rent a dumpster in Escalon and load it yourself.
Renting a container is a better option in the event you'd like the flexibility to load it on your own time and you don't mind doing it yourself to save on labour. Dumpsters also work well in the event you've at least seven cubic yards or more of debris. Roll offs normally begin at 10 cubic yards, thus should you only have 3-4 yards of waste, you are paying for a lot more dumpster than you desire.
Garbage or junk removal makes more sense if you'd like another person to load your old items. Additionally, it works well should you'd like it to be taken away immediately so it's out of your own hair or in the event you only have a few large things; this is likely cheaper than renting a whole dumpster.
Planning ahead for your dumpster rental in Escalon will make your job easier and safer to finish on time. When renting a dumpster in Escalon, follow these hints to help you plan ahead.
1. Clear an area that is large enough for the dumpster to sit down for several days or weeks. Also, be sure that you and other individuals have access to the dumpster. You need to have a clear path that prevents injuries.


Blogs grow from small beginnings; but acorns have a habit of becoming oak trees in the STEP world. In time, this blog will hopefully become a place to disseminate and start discussion on every STEP topic under the sun.
The launch of this blog coincides with the launch of the revamped, reinvigorated, reinforced STEP website, which has a number of new features that we hope will improve usability and add value.
Over the coming weeks, I will be blogging about the member consultation STEP is going to launch across the Society, to secure every member's input to the development of STEP's plans for the next few years. We are in a world where professionals and their clients face increased regulatory burdens, challenges to privacy and challenges of transparency, changing economic demographic pressures and new business models. We are also in a world where, rightly, members' demands of their professional bodies are growing and changing in response to new media, new competition and new technology. STEP needs new strategy and delivery; not just to meet new challenges for members, but to build on opportunity when demographics and global mobility are moving in STEP's direction.
Over the last four years STEP has delivered the promised new education system, a much stronger voice in public debate, greater support for professional development, financial soundness, a new governance system, backed by high member satisfaction. The aim is to establish what today's members will need for the next challenges and particularly what the prospective student member's needs will be. The world has changed significantly in the last four years and that change shows no sign of slowing down. STEP wants the input of all of its members to meet the challenges of the future.
If you have any comments on this blog, or on the new website in general please post your comments below.

What criminal activity would provide grounds for eviction in public housing?
If you or a family member or guest or someone under the tenant's control is involved in criminal activity, the housing authority does not have to provide you with a hearing before filing a breach of lease action in District Court. Neither do you have to be charged or convicted of a crime to be evicted for criminal activity.
However, if you live in public housing, your lease may state that the landlord has to consider certain mitigating circumstances to allow you and your family to remain in public housing, even if a family member or guest committed a crime, The lease also might state that the housing authority has the discretion to allow the family to remain if the person committing the crime vacates the unit.
Your lease may also state that the housing authority has to give you the opportunity to challenge the accuracy and relevance of any police report upon which a lease termination is based. This means that the housing authority has to give you a copy of the police report and offer you the opportunity to discuss the situation in a face-to-face meeting.
In Baltimore City, all public housing leases include these protections. If the housing authority sends you a letter advising you that your lease is terminated because of allegations of criminal activity, the housing authority must give you the opportunity to meet with one of its attorneys to discuss the situation. Even if a crime has been committed by a family member, the housing authority in Baltimore City will consider a number of mitigating circumstances to allow the family to remain in public housing, including the seriousness of the offense, whether other family members participated in the crime, whether the head-of-household tried to discourage the crime, the effect an eviction would have on family members who did not participate in the crime, how long the family has resided in public housing, the family's tenant history, and whether the household includes young children and elderly or disabled individuals. When you meet with the housing authority attorney to discuss the situation, and the housing authority decides to proceed with the eviction, at the court trial, the housing authority cannot bring up or disclose any admissions you made at the meeting.
What type of criminal activity would provide grounds for eviction in HUD housing?
Drug-related criminal activity on the property by a tenant, household member, guest, or person under the tenant's control provides grounds for lease termination. The landlord can evict a family when a household member is illegally using drugs or when a pattern of illegal drug use interferes with the health, safety, or right to peaceful enjoyment of the premises by other residents.
The landlord may evict a family if a family member's alcohol abuse threatens the health, safety, or right to peaceful enjoyment of the premises by other residents.
The landlord may also evict a tenant who is a convicted felon and is fleeing to avoid criminal prosecution or custody or a tenant violating probation or parole.
What type of criminal activity would provide grounds for eviction by a section 8 landlord?
The landlord can evict the family for drug-related criminal activity on or near the unit by a tenant, household member, guest, or person under the tenant's control, or when, a household member is illegally using drugs or when a pattern of illegal drug use interferes with the health, safety, or right to peaceful enjoyment of the unit by other residents.
The landlord can also evict a tenant who is a convicted felon who is fleeing to avoid prosecution or custody or a tenant who violates probation or parole.
The landlord may, but is not required to, consider all relevant circumstances before evicting a family, including the seriousness of the offense, the effect on the community, whether the head-of-household participated in the criminal activity, the extent to which the head-of-household has shown personal responsibility, the effect of eviction on the family, the demand for assisted housing by lease-compliant families, the effect of the landlord's actions on the integrity of the section 8 program.


Low water pressure is generally a problem when multiple fixtures in the home are turned on at once, such as the garden hose and the kitchen sink. Low water pressure is certainly an inconvenience and can make simple tasks much more timely, meaning that you will want to find a solution as soon as possible. The solution to the problem is first determining the source of the low water pressure, some of which we will list down below.
Sometimes water pressure regulators, found underneath the front hose connection of your home, can simply stop working. The good news is that they can be easily replaced by a professional plumber and are also very affordably. Keep in mind that problems can arise when people attempt to make the replacement themselves, so it is best to contact a professional first.
If your pipes have been damaged and ended up causing a leak, you will experience low water pressure, even if the leak is only small. To determine whether you've had a leak, consult your meter (not your bill). Do this by turning off all taps outside of your home and then reading the meter. Go back to the meter after two hours. If your water usage is higher, it is likely that you have a leak and should therefore contact a plumber.
Older homes and homes built with iron pipes commonly get mineral deposits. Unfortunately, there is nothing you can do to stop the mineral deposits from forming. They do, however, accumulate faster with hot water and horizontal pipes. In any case, if you suspect that mineral deposits may be the cause of your low water pressure problems, contact a professional to make the necessary repairs.
A water storage tank that is not elevated above your home will result in low water pressure to allow water to flow via gravity.
One possible source of low water pressure is that a lot of people in your neighbourhood may be having a shower or using water all at the same time. Try changing your schedule for a few days to see if you notice a difference. If so, the fix is simple: just change your schedule.
Remember that bigger problems such as leaks or mineral deposits are best handled by a professional. Whether you are in need of plumbing, water heating or water services, contact our team of experts at Brothers Plumbing today. We have over 50 years in the industry and offer affordable rates.


Week 4, Day 3. Gratitude. If He brought you to it- He will bring you through it. It doesn't matter what the issue is- you can get through it. Through a strong belief in a higher power and the knowledge that you went through what you did for a reason. You can make it through! But on the other hand- you will not make it if you don't believe you will. If you think you can- you are right. If you think you can't- you are right. Be who you want to be in the future today. You are where you are for a purpose! Learn the lesson and move on (that's tomorrow's post).

2018 GMC Sierra 2500HD All Mountain Concept.
The 2018 GMC Sierra All Mountain concept recently debuted Vail Mountain in Colorado. The Sierra All Mountain concept takes a GMC Sierra 2500HD Denali 4WD Crew Cab platform and adds tank-like tracks that help it navigate rugged, snow-covered terrain. If you're saying, "Wait. Have I seen this before?" It would be because you have, with the Kia Sorrento Ski Gondola Concept By LUX Motorwerks. The only difference is that the Sierra All Mountain packs a much larger punch.
The 2018 GMC Sierra All Mountain concept combines the power of the 6.6L turbo-diesel V-8 engine and first-class interior appointments of the Sierra 2500HD Denali and adds enhanced capability and features through concept Mattracks® technology and GMC Accessories.
If you want to get up close and personal with this one-of-a-kind concept, it will remain on display at Vail for the winter season as part of an exclusive partnership announced earlier this year with Vail Resorts, Inc.


Then I was going to talk about Turkey Tettrazini which is what my family traditionally does with leftover turkey. But sometimes Dinner throws you for a loop, and this was one of those weeks.
This week some of our friends who are always invited, but whose schedule doesn't allow them to attend all that often emailed to say that they were able to make Dinner this week. This was exciting, except one of them is lactose intolerant, and Turkey Tettazini calls for a lot of cream (okay yes, you can make it with less cream but it's just not as good, and I don't think it would work without any cream). Consequently I did a last minute reimagining of Dinner.
My father occasionally asks what we talk about at Dinner. I'm pretty sure he's hoping I'll confess to something erudite. This week we discussed the narrative structure of Goodnight Moon, and how, much like Chekov's gun, if you introduce a telephone in the first act you must say goodnight to it by the third act. I'm not sure if that's sublime or ridiculous, but it's pretty representative of Dinner.
Pasta with Greek Spices is something of a signature Dinner meal, mostly because nobody else can make it. The Greek spices come from a small Greek restaurant in Charleston and get brought back to us by my roommate's parents. We're not really sure what's in them. The ingredient list on the bottle reads something like – oregano, thyme, incomprehensible Greek word, salt, paprika, incomprehensible Greek word, rosemary . . . . . and so on for about 15 lines.
If you happen to be in Charleston I recommend a visit to The Athenian Village. I also recommend picking up a bottle of Greek spices to take home with you.
The base of the recipe is always the same – onions sautéed in a little olive oil.
What comes next depends on what vegetables looked good in the grocery store that week. This week I sautéed zucchini, red peppers and some roasted chicken. I steamed the broccoli and then tossed all of that with cooked pasta and Greek Spices mixed with olive oil. I threw some grape tomatoes in at the end and let them warm through just from the heat of the pasta and vegetables. Sometimes I add some chopped artichoke hearts, but I didn't have time to defrost the unseasoned ones this week and I don't like the ones that come packed in marinade.
I tossed 1.5 lbs of pasta (rotelle) with several tablespoons of Greek Spices dissolved in olive oil. The more Greek Spices you use, the spicier the pasta dish will be.

Q: Windows 8 Froze My laptop running Windows 8, had it's first hiccup. It's been running super smooth, and I still believe it's a rock solid OS, but it froze and I have no idea what happened. Ctrl + Alt + Del did nothing. Ctrl + Shift + Escape also did nothing.
Tapping my power button (usually put the computer to sleep) did nothing. My mouse was frozen. My desktop + XBox Music app combo stood still. Music stopped playing. Yet, the artist picture was animated (in XBox Music). Where would I begin to start debugging this. Is there an error log or something I could look into?

A: I think restarting the machine with a hard shut off and then re-booting may fix the bug.
I personally don't believe Windows 8 has a Error/Bug console/log. Other people besides you seem to be having a lot of problems as well and have the same question as you:
http://www.forumswindows8.com/general-discussion/windows-8-error-log-367.htm

A: There is an event log that you could use (windows key -> type 'event log' -> under settings heading -> view event logs) but I don't think that will help you in this case. I have had a similar problem with my Windows 8 computer intermittently, and I would bother spending time debugging it unless it becomes a major issue (happening frequently).
I would recommend keeping on top of your windows updates, and just waiting for it to be patched out.
When the bug  comes up for me, I just hard reboot and it goes away for another month or so (been using windows 8 since September)

Man Tortured Him Into Signing False Confession Exonerated After Nearly 30 Years In Prison
A Black man who spent almost 30 years in jail for murder before being exonerated last year has filed a lawsuit against members of the Chicago Police Department, Cook County, and the city of Chicago, saying that he was beaten and tortured into signing a false confession by police. The alleged torture occurred when Chicago Police Cmdr. Jon Burge was in charge, despite the fact that the suit names his estate.
The action was launched during a news conference on Tuesday by Keith Walker, now 53, and his attorneys, according to the Chicago Tribune. Attorney Sean Starr said, "Today, Keith is seeking a small measure of justice."
"I believe that everyone in the world should be aware that these folks are still out there," Walker stated. "I'm looking for justice. I'm filing this case today to seek justice for those who treated me unfairly — as if I weren't a human being."
Burge died in 2018, but it is suspected that during the 1970s and 1990s, his "midnight crew" of cops and detectives tortured more than 100 persons, predominantly Black men, under his direction in order to get false confessions. Victims claimed they were suffocated and forced to play Russian roulette after being subjected to mock lynchings, electroshock, beatings, and burning. Burge received a four-and-a-half-year sentence for lying under oath in civil litigation related to the torture.
In 2016, the city of Chicago made a $5.5 million payment to 57 Burge torture victims.
Another Black man was released in 2019 after spending 29 years in prison and telling horror stories similar to Walker's.
Shawn Wicks, a white 18-year-old, was shot four times on the south side of Chicago in a predominantly Black neighborhood on June 3, 1991, after he resisted a robbery attempt while buying marijuana. According to the National Registry of Exonerations, he died a week later.
A man informed Chicago Police Detective Daniel McWeeny that he, Wicks, and Walker, 23, were on their way to buy marijuana when Wicks was shot, and he and Walker escaped. Walker was apprehended and sent to Area 3 police station, where he claims he was tortured. Officers allegedly called Walker the N-word, assaulted him, and shocked him four times with a hand-cranked generator, according to Walker.
On July 2, Walker was detained and subjected to the second round of torture before signing a pre-written confession statement. He then claimed that if he didn't participate, he would continue to be abused. In connection with Wicks' killing, Walker and two other men were charged with first-degree murder and attempted robbery. In December 1994, he was found guilty on the charges and sentenced to life in prison without the chance of release.
Walker's appeal for relief on the grounds of actual innocence and the use of coerced confession against him was heard in the courts by 2004, but it wasn't until 2020 that prosecutors with the state attorney general's office — which had taken over the case from Cook County after the office's recusal — decided to drop the case, and Walker was exonerated in August.
The lawsuit says that Chicago cops and prosecutors faked and suppressed evidence, as well as concealing knowledge of the abuse. "Not only is there no justice for the victim and the victim's family when someone is convicted and sentenced to 30 years in prison for a crime they didn't commit, but a man's life is essentially destroyed, having the prime of his life kidnapped and thrown into a maximum-security prison," said Jon Loevy, one of Walker's attorneys. "On the issue of wrongful convictions, the judicial system needs to improve, and Mr. Walker needs justice in this case."
Walker stated that he wants the cops who abused him to be punished, but that the lawsuit is not about money.
Walker explained, "Money comes and goes." "However, you don't."

"OSXnews is a small fast open source Usenet news reader for Mac OSX written entirely from scratch in Objective C and Cocoa. "
"Because there aren't any good free NNTP clients for OSX. There are a few good ones in carbon but I didn't like the interface of those much when I tried to use them. In addition, they are also very dated and do not use many of the nice new features availabe in OSX 10.2 and 10.3. I also found a few non free news readers that were supposedly good, however, they cost money. So, I decided to write my own. It is mostly based on what I need and want in a news reader. This site is intended to let others use it. I can't say it isn't buggy since I wrote most of it in about a week but it is reasonably stable and has gotter stabler, richer and faster with each release.

Thanks Flash, I'll give it a go.


Northampton and the Castle were greatly affected by the Black Death (1349-50). There followed a steady period of decline due to the upheavals caused by the enormous loss of population. By then its strategic importance as the first major castle a day's ride north of London had become less obvious. The last parliament was held in the Castle in 1380, however it continued to be used as a County Gaol for some time afterwards.
One event that demonstrates the extent of the decline of the Castle was in 1662 when Charles II ordered the sleighting of the town and partial demolition of the Castle as retribution for supporting the parliamentarian 'Roundheads' rather than Charles I's 'Cavaliers' in the Civil War. Though the town walls suffered, only 'part of the Castle walls' were destroyed; the King had ordered that "so much of [the Castle] should remain as is necessary for y' shelter of y' Justices in y' bench".
Northampton's luck continued to fail when the great fire of 1675 struck, destroying a great part of the town and wiping out most of the historic buildings in the centre. The Sessions House in George Row was the first public building erected after the fire.
The Castle site was sold to Robert Haselrig (later Hazelrigg). Hazelrigg House was originally an Elizabethan house that escaped the fire of 1675 and still stands on Marefair to this day. The Hazelrigg family retained the Castle site until 1861, at which point it was sold to Samuel Walker who dug it for treasure and finally the site passed into the hands of L&NW Railway Co. who leveled the site to build a station.

Criterion Discovery: Tokyo Drifter
Posted by Travis Losh | Sep 16, 2014 | Criterion Discovery | 0 |
All images courtesy of Criterion Collection.
Tokyo Drifter is a gangster film that originally released in 1966, and is directed Seijun Suzuki. Suzuki has numerous films in The Criterion Collection including a favorite of mine, Branded to Kill. Tokyo Drifter was released on Blu-Ray on December 13th, 2011, as spine #39.
Tetsuya Hondo, a former member of the yakuza, becomes a "drifter" (an enforcer on the run) when his boss is forced to sign over a piece of property and their partner is killed.
This film opens with a black-and-white scene in which the film's protagonist takes a beating from rival gang members. After the beating, a gun is left on the ground, shown glowing bright red. In the supplements of the release, Suzuki suggests that certain details are presented in this way to draw the viewers attention by use of vibrant colors to items that hold clues to the story. Tokyo Drifter is a violently colorful gangster film that embraces the influence of American Westerns. Suzuki is not shy or coy about his inspirations; in one scene, Hondo finds himself at a western style saloon, smoking a cigarette. After a meeting with his hook up, a huge battle ensues after customers won't stop touching the dancer. This scene begs immediate comparison to old school saloon fights, yet Suzuki presents it in his own stylistic way.
My favorite apect of this film is its naked anime influence. The two main characters feel constructed straight from the anime template and they are named fittingly. Tetsuya the Pheonix and Tatsuzo the Viper. True to the suggested form, they battle the entire film until their ultimate showdown at the aforementioned saloon.
It would be in bad form to mention this film's borrowed influences without mentioning the influence it has left on other great works. Tokyo Drifter is a cherished movie, called upon not just by later films, but in other arenas of entertainment as well. Quentin Tarantino admits to using this film as inspiration in Kill Bill: Vol. 1. Kill Bill uses similar camera work and aesthetic framing (see image abvove), characters crafted in a relative manner, and comparable story arcs. Tarantino is a very good director on his own, don't get me wrong, but he does not have the same grasp on how to tame his influences like Suzuki. Outside of film, I've always felt there is an undeniable and perhaps intentional connection between the character Tetsuya and Vash the Stampede from the anime Trigun, both characters carrying awesome names and struggling to fight off violent pasts.
As an early Criterion release, it's easy to determine that the company had yet to reach its full potential on the science of supplements. There are only three supplements in the release: The trailer, an interview with Seijun Suzuki from 1997, and another interview with Suzuki and assistant director Masami Kuzuu (awesome name). Though these interviews offer some deep insight into Suzuki's career and some speculation on the film, they are not enough to be excited about.
Tokyo Drifter is a fun film that offers up some masterful camera work. But the supplements on this release do not offer much beyond what one might find on a standard release. I'll never try to dissuade anyone from a Criterion release, but it might be better to catch this one via Hulu membership, if that's an option.

New lease on life for foreclosed homes
By Megan Taros :: SFBay June 10, 2012
A company known for purchasing foreclosed single family homes and turning them into rentals has announced it is bringing its services to West Oakland and the San Antonio neighborhood.
Waypoint Real Estate Group is entering a $20 million partnership with nonprofit Enterprise Community Partners to buy foreclosed homes in the neighborhood and lease them to tenants. Waypoint will acquire and manage the properties, while Enterprise will work with prospective tenants, officials and other nonprofits to support the project.
As part of Waypoint's services, tenants are given credit counseling, budget advice and credit that may be used toward eventually owning the home they are renting, according to co-founder Colin Wiel:
"Basically what we do is single-family rental. So we're buying homes, renovating them and renting them out, which is our core business model."
Wiel said he hopes to operate in more neighborhoods in the future. Based in Oakland, Waypoint was founded by Wiel and former Cal and 49ers kicker Doug Brien.
Weil said that one of Waypoint's goals is to rescue homes and reinvent renting:
"We buy all our houses from banks. Sometimes, we'll buy a house and the former owner is still there, in which case, we approach them and tell them about our program and encourage them to become a Waypoint resident."
The company plans to begin with 20 acquisitions in Oakland this summer, with another 80 purchases by summer 2013.
The company currently owns 1,500 once-foreclosed homes, with many in struggling Contra Costa and Solano counties. They aim to have 15,000 by the end of next year.

Cebu Hub of English Language Excellence (Chele) vice president Roy Lotzof said this strategy will also attract more international students to study in Cebu and at the same time provide a venue to improve the proficiency of Cebuanos.
Lotzof said demand for workers keeps rising in call centers and related outsourced service providers.
Chele oversees the international students' well-being and safety while studying in Cebu.
It accredits professional service providers and provides a list of professional language providers.
Promoting Cebu as a global English learning hub will open job opportunities and increase spending and investments in the city, Lotzof added.
Chele and the Asian EFL (English as a Foreign Language) Journal Tuesday announced it will host the 1st Cebu International Tesol Conference on Aug. 12-15 at the Cebu International Convention Center, Cebu Doctors' University-Mandaue Campus and Benedicto College.
Lotzof said the conference will showcase Cebu Province and allow international experts to examine how Cebu can better its English proficiency.
The activity also aims to establish links between schools and universities.
"This activity will also help determine and develop the teaching structure of the English language based on the requirements of international students," Lotzof said in a press conference at the City Sports Club.
The conference, dubbed as "The English Language: The Power to Connect," will bring together international and national speakers and has so far attracted abstracts from over 100 educators nationwide.
Tesol-Asia president Paul Robertson said if Cebu establishes itself as a global hub for English learning, it would be easy for the island to cater to more international students not only from Korea, but also the Middle East, Japan, China and Taiwan.
"The country would then be the biggest supplier of English teachers in the world in the next five years, if its language skills will be enhanced," Robertson said.
Among the topics the conference will cover are second language acquisition theories, teaching English to international students, professional issues on educational standards, alternative approaches and latest trends in teaching English as a Second Language (ESL) and English for Specific Purposes (ESP).

Should I Form a Holding Company for My Businesses?
Do You Own Multiple Businesses?
Many small business owners have several businesses. A young friend of mine named Carlos Mendosa has lots of ideas for online businesses, and he asked me if he should set them up as separate limited liability companies and then form a holding company as an overall entity. His reasoning for setting up separate businesses was to keep their liability separate, so one company would not be liable if another company was sued.
A holding company is a company (usually a corporation) that owns a controlling interest in another company, called a subsidiary. A holding company might be called an "umbrella" company or a parent company.
Sometimes a holding company is formed to hold assets (like equipment or buildings) and stock and the other company or companies are operating entities, which have no assets.
If your multiple businesses are very small with few assets (like an online business, as Carlos has), it seems a lot of expense and trouble to form a holding company. Another possibility is to form just one company, Mendosa Enterprises LLC, and then to have several "projects" within that LLC. Carlos could then file a fictitious name ("doing business as") designation for each of these projects.
Another alternative would be for Carlos to start a new LLC for each entity and not form a holding company. He would then have to keep the accounting for each one separate, and divide up some expenses (like his Internet service) among each company. Since he doesn't really have any assets except a computer, the holding company would not really have a purpose, except to bring together the accounting for income and expenses.
How Do I Start an LLC as a Holding Company?
Starting an LLC is a pretty painless task and one which you can do yourself. Go to the website of the Secretary of State for your state and find out the requirements for LLC's. Or read my article on how to form an LLC.
Are There Restrictions on LLC's Owning Corporations?
Different business legal entities can own each other, but there are restrictions. From the standpoint of a state, there are usually no restrictions - an LLC can own a C corporation, for example. The restrictions come with the IRS. If an LLC is an owner of a corporation, the LLC must elect C corporation tax status.
An LLC cannot own an S corporation because only individuals and certain trusts and estates can own this type of corporation.
A sole proprietorship is not eligible to own another company because it isn't registered with a state and its tax status is limited.
Is a Holding Company Liable for Acts of a Subsidiary?
In general, the liability of a holding company for its subsidiary's actions relates to the degree of control the holding company has over the operations of the subsidiary. In United States v. Bestfoods, in 1998, the Supreme Court held unanimously that a holding company isn't liable for acts of a subsidiary, if the parent didn't actively participate in, and have control over, the actions of the subsidiary, but there are exceptions.
The most important exception is if the corporate veil is pierced, meaning that the action was outside the normal activities of a business (fraud or negligence, for example). In this case, the owners of both the subsidiary and the holding company could be sued.
What about Taxes for Holding Companies?
The end result in each case above is going to be about the same. Each LLC (assuming he is the only member) files a Schedule C. The losses and gains of each LLC would be added up and placed on his personal tax return. Let's say his book sales entity had a net income this year of $5,000, and the website service had a loss of $2,000. He would record a net income of $3,000 on his tax return. So a loss by one entity can be used to offset a gain by another.
This is a complex issue, with liability and taxes to consider, and as a business grows, things will change. I urged Carlos to get an attorney and discuss his current situation, and future plans, to see which arrangement makes the most sense. If you are considering multiple entities, be sure you talk to an attorney and a CPA to make sure everything you do is according to the laws and will not have adverse tax consequences.
