As Hall and Oates wind down from their latest supersize tour of America's arenas, John Oates has indulged in a novel form of relaxation – he's formed a band and gone back into the studio! Actually, unable to fully resist the lavish excess that accompanies the day job, it's more of a blues supergroup. Guthrie Trapp (electric guitar), Sam Bush (mandolin), Russ Pahl (pedal steel), Max Smith (cello), Steve Mackey (bass) and Josh Day (drums) completing the all-star cast in Oates' tribute to one of his great influences – Mississippi John Hurt.
That's not to say that he's opted for the slick, commercial production of an H&O record, in fact, quite the opposite. 'Arkansas' is recorded in the old tradition, live onto analogue tape. With this in mind, it's advisable to get hold of the vinyl version to fully appreciate the experience. It gives the listener the eerie feeling of hearing technically accomplished contemporary musicians playing with present-day technology, recorded in a time-honoured way.
As mentioned, the project started out as a solo thing, dedicated to Oates' blues hero but soon veered off into a more inclusive 'band' orientated affair, although it's very much Oates' baby. The inspiration behind the album slowly spreads over what to many fans of H&O is a bluesy blank canvas, having known only the stadium prog rock of the world's best selling musical duo. But Oates has roots in Arkansas and once stood in a field of cotton on the banks of the Mississippi and declared it the most beautiful moment he'd ever experienced.
The title track and lead single was the result which, along with 'Dig Back Deep' are Oates' songwriting credits here. When backed by the Good Road Band this is blues-based Americana at its finest – boot-scootin', wind-in-your-hair rock 'n' roll played out live in your living room. Certainly it worked out, putting the twist on the Hurt vibe. The rest of the album is made up of covers from a myriad of sources right back to Emmett Miller's 1924 recording of 'Anytime' and Oates likes to think of it as a kind of museum of folk music. But the Mississippi John Hurt influence is everywhere; if it ain't by him it's about him or dedicated to him, only don't be fooled by the croaky voice and the bluesy facade, especially with The Good Road Band on shift. In Oates' own words "It's like Dixieland, dipped in bluegrass, and salted with Delta blues.".

Contracting companies have not yet started to use safety tech | The Law Offices of Mark E. Weinberger P.C.
The dangers of being a construction worker are infinite, but every year new safety technologies are emerging to help contractors keep their employees safe at job sites. Some contractors have even started to use drones to improve worker safety. However, most of the latest safety tech like drones have yet to be adopted by construction firms.
According to the Center for Construction Research and Training and Dodge Data & Analytics, only 62 percent of contractors have begun to adopt the latest in safety technology at their construction sites. According to the research of these two organizations, 21 percent of contractors use drones, and large companies are the most likely to use drones to take footage of possible safety issues on a large-scale construction project. Smart helmets and other wearable devices and badges are being used by 13 percent of contractors. And laser scanners are being used by 14 percent of contractors.
However, smartphone technology and tablet technology is being more widely implemented. Construction site owners are also beginning to use cameras to survey site conditions and improve overall job site safety. Document sharing and other project management apps have also been implemented by numerous construction firms.
Construction contractors might want to investigate the benefits of using various new safety technologies to reduce the chances that their employees will suffer on-the-job accidents. Ultimately, the prevention of accidents and injuries will help keep employees on the job and productive. As for injured New York employees, who get hurt while performing their job duties, these individuals can usually file a workers' compensation claim to get money to pay for job-related medical costs.

http://geonames.usgs.gov/apex/f?p=gnispq (type in Corte De Madera Del Presidio for 'Name')
When California declared statehood in 1850, all public lands were designated as Lands of the United States, rather than Lands of the State of California. Although Mexican land grants were recognized and validated, there were decades of disputes regarding their actual boundaries that had to be resolved by the U.S. Lands Commission. In the meantime, public lands were open to be claimed by any citizen who filed the proper paperwork, and sometimes those claims overlapped the boundaries claimed by holders of Mexican land grants. Such was the case with the Rancho Corte de Madera that was granted to the Irish settler John/Juan Reed by the Mexican government in 1834. Reed died just nine years later, leaving his widow, Hilaria Sanchez Reed (daughter of the commandant of the Mexican Presidio), to manage the sprawling rancho along with the family's struggle to have their claim recognized in full by the U.S. Lands Commission.

"Everybody in this room knows we need more storage to clean water before moving it south," said commissioner David Rice. "What we don't know is how much and where. To me, seven years to get that answer is totally unacceptable."
Over the last year, about 50,000 acres of seagrass wilted and died in the central bay after a regional drought sent salinity soaring. The conditions raised fears that the die-off could trigger a massive algae bloom — in the late 1980s a similar die-off triggered a bloom that caused the bay to collapse — and mirror the kind of damage now playing out on the Treasure Coast, where freshwater algae blooms have decimated estuaries.
At its driest, the amount of water sent into the northeastern bay by the district dropped to about 78,000 acre feet, far under the volume called for in state regulations. The bay has twice exceeded salinity standards, prompting calls for the district to reconsider the amount of water it moves into the bay.
While no significant bloom has been documented this summer in Florida Bay, anglers have reported seeing "algae balls," charter boat Capt. Bill Wickers, a board member of the key West Charter Boat Association, told commissioners.
When I was a kid, you could see the bottom in a hundred feet of water.
Key West charter boat Capt. Bill Wickers
"Our board is very, very concerned because we have watched the downward spiral of water quality in the Keys," he said. "I'm 69 years old now. When I was a kid, you could see the bottom in a hundred feet of water. Without the water down here, we don't have quality of life and we don't have a way to make a living."
Buying additional land from U.S. Sugar to store and clean water south of Lake Okeechobee has been a critical sticking point, with federal officials and environmentalists backing the measure. State officials have declined to pursue a land-buying option that the sugar industry opposes.
Wednesday's resolution urges the state to buy land but not at the expense of ongoing projects. The Central Everglades Planning Project, which has been authorized by Congress but so far not funded, is expected to restore about 65 percent of the flow heading south and into Florida Bay, even without the land, said Mayor Heather Carruthers.
"This is why it's important to not get in the way of this process with lawsuits, which you know there will be millions of them if we say we want to buy this land," she said.
U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio and U.S. Rep. Carlos Curbelo, both Miami Republicans, have both been pushing for congressional support for the Central Everglades project.
But environmentalists say for the project to work, land south of the lake needs to be in place to store and clean water. They are now pressing to expand the focus of a planning effort aimed at finding storage north of the lake to also include that land. A public meeting on the plan will be held Tuesday in Okeechobee.
During Wednesday's meeting, Ernie Marks, the South Florida Water Management District's newly appointed director of Everglades Policy and Coordination, outlined fixes approved by the district governing board last week. The plans should increase water flowing into Taylor Slough, which feeds the central bay, by about 20,000 acre feet per year. Critics say that's not nearly enough to sustain the bay during droughts. By comparison, about eight acre feet per hour were being flushed from Lake Okeechobee at the height of releases.
It's the first step in an evolution as we go through Everglades restoration.
Ernie Marks, South Florida Water Management District Director of Everglades Policy and Coordination
The fixes, expected to cost up to $3.3 million, could be in place as early as November and would largely use existing structures with the addition of a pump. Gaps in a levee would also be closed and vegetation cleared.
"It's the first step in an evolution as we go through Everglades restoration," Marks said.

Lot 5634 linii Lufthansa CityLine – zakończony wypadkiem lot, do którego doszło 6 stycznia 1993 roku. Bombardier Dash 8-300 należący do Lufthansy CityLine wystartował z lotniska w Bremie o 17:30 i leciał do lotniska w Paryżu z 19 pasażerami i 4 członkami załogi. Podczas końcowego podejścia do Paryża samolot był gotowy do lądowania na pasie 27 (obecnie 27 L), ale kontrola ruchu lotniczego zaleciła załodze przerwanie lądowania z powodu na krótko zamkniętego pasa startowego. W tym momencie piloci wznieśli się i wykonali manewr, aby przejść na pas 28 (obecnie 26 R). W chmurach i gęstej mgle samolot wszedł w wysokie tempo opadania i uderzył w ziemię. Samolot rozpadł się na dwie części, ale nie było ognia. W wypadku zginęło 4 pasażerów, 16 osób zostało rannych.

Wypadek
Samolot wystartował z lotniska w Bremie o 17:30, zgodnie z harmonogramem, wznosząc się na wysokość przelotową 24 000 stóp (7315 m). 25 minut przed wypadkiem załoga uzyskała pierwsze pozwolenie na lądowanie z wykorzystaniem podejścia ILS na pasie startowym 27 na wysokości 4000 stóp. Wkrótce potem pas startowy został zamknięty, gdyż miał być oczyszczony. Kontrola ruchu lotniczego zapytała załogę lotu LH5634, czy mogą skręcić w lewo, aby wykorzystać ścieżkę schodzenia ILS do pasa 28 (równoległego i dłuższego o 15 metrów). Załoga odpowiedziała "oczywiście, że możemy". Kontroler przekazał LH5634 swojemu koledze odpowiedzialnemu za południowy pas, który wkrótce poinformował załogę, że znajdują się 1,5 mili od progu pasa. Pilotów zapytano, czy widzą już pas. Po otrzymaniu negatywnej odpowiedzi, kontroler poinstruował załogę, aby utrzymała aktualny kurs i przygotowała się na ewentualną procedurę nieudanego podejścia. Gdy kontroler poinformuje załogę o 19:19, że właśnie przekraczają próg pasa startowego, samolot niemal jednocześnie znika z radaru. Podobnie piloci nie odpowiadali już na jego wiadomości radiowe. Dlatego o 19:20 wieża kontrolna ogłasza stan alarmowy. Wrak samolotu zostaje odnaleziony o 19:55. W wypadku zginęło czterech pasażerów, w tym dziecko. Ponadto pięć osób zostało poważnie rannych, a jedenaście innych odniosło drobne obrażenia, w tym czterech członków załogi. Bombardier został poważnie uszkodzony, a później rozebrany.

Dochodzenie
Dochodzenie wykazało, że pierwszy oficer wyłączył autopilota 80 sekund przed zderzeniem, a kolejne dziesięć sekund później obie przepustnice były w położeniu neutralnym. Ten typ samolotu nie ma automatycznej kontroli ciągu. System ostrzegania o bliskości gruntu (GPWS), który wskazuje na nadmierne tempo opadania, po raz pierwszy uruchomił alarm 53 sekundy przed uderzeniem. Następnie alarmy "TERRAIN" i "PULL UP" rozbrzmiały przez 47 sekund, aż do uderzenia. Wypadek spowodowany był złym zachowaniem załogi. Piloci albo nie zauważyli zbyt wysokiego tempa opadania, albo zrobili to za późno, chociaż GPWS wydała liczne alarmy dźwiękowe. Zapomnieli też wysunąć klap, bez których przeciągnięcie przy niskiej prędkości następuje szybciej. Jak wskazali kontrolerzy ruchu lotniczego, załoga powinna była wykonać procedurę nieudanego podejścia w przypadku braku widoczności pasa.

Konsekwencje
Po wypadku Lufthansa CityLine została skrytykowana przez media, ponieważ loty były realizowane przez firmy zewnętrzne, które nie spełniają standardów szkolenia i bezpieczeństwa pilotów Lufthansy.

MIG for Cast Iron + Small Welding Table - Page 2 - The Home Machinist!
Any reason why you're high centered on making the table from cast iron?
The weld positioners I have been around, small & big, were malleable cast, if they were cast, so fixtures, pieces & parts could be easily tac'd & welded to them. Many had steel tables.
Here's my compelling reason: the spare faceplate I already have is cast iron. No $$$.
OK....makes sense, if you don't need the faceplate for a faceplate.
If it has a center hole, it would be quite easy.
Horror Freight has their $79 welding table on sale for $59 with the coupon.
Here's Adam Booth's welding table.
I've seen that table. I was thinking it might be nice to have one that I can rotate with a pedal, though.
I wonder how I could mount an L00 faceplate on a bearing without making a complete L00 taper. Maybe I'll take a look at it. I guess I could make a big round thing with threads inside it and some kind of bearing race under it.
Or I could continue burning holes in my wooden bench.
SteveHGraham wrote: I wonder how I could mount an L00 faceplate on a bearing without making a complete L00 taper.
You could bore out the faceplate to make it straight instead of a taper.
Of course, that means you would never be able to use it as an L00 faceplate.
The taper should not be that hard. You can use the compound. If the compound travel is not long enough, that shouldn't be a problem - you don't need the shaft to have a full-length taper on it - just enough to hold it in place.
Hi Steve G. Why screw that faceplace up when I could use it. If you post a pic of it here, someone could make it worth your while. L00 was used on a lot of lathes. What is the diameter?
The faceplate is 11". It's a South Bend. It was from a school that used South Bend lathes. They never used it, and a dealer bought it and resold it to me. It has about five minutes of use on it. Still has some factory grease in the threads.
The problem is that if I sell it, I still have to buy something to use for welding. I don't think anyone here would want it. They run around $150 when they pop up for sale.
Thanks for measuring and your reply. My Rockwell 11" has L00 as does the Rockwell 14". The 13" Sheldon, Clausings and later South Bend 13" used that tapered end. Many other lathes. If it comes down to $150 then I'm not interested but it would be of more value to sell it and get what you actually want, instead of boring out that taper. There is a key slot in the taper which could really be a drag to bore correctly. The whole time, you know that you are destroying a useable attachment. I don't think you need to do that. There are older threaded face plates which could be bored or sleeved more easily. I and many have some larger face plates and no clue what they fit.
Something else here is the welding table. The HF one seems reasonable but the "engine stand" is something else. They attach to the back side of an engine and have adjustable arms to bolt to most any configuration. That section rotates or is locked. So with a plate or angle plate bolted to it, you have any angle while sitting on a chair.
These stands are inexpensive and don't take up much room. They have casters, disassemble quickly and can actually be used for engine repair.
Go to a wrecking yard and get an old flywheel, don't mess up a good faceplate. Flywheels from a vehicle with a clutch should have one flat side.

It's been bloody hot the past few weeks. There were a few days when things cooled down a bit and I felt I could catch my breath, but otherwise I've been "perspie" as my Grammy Thompson used to say. "Perspie" was her delicate way of saying perspire. Since we don't have air conditioning I've come up with four great ways to beat the heat.
1. Clean your basement. Seriously, the basement is always cooler than upstairs. I'm not talking heavy lifting, just some rearranging, a few loads of laundry. You'll cool down and be happier. Heck, just tell everyone you're going down to clean the basement and instead grab a folding chair and a good book and read for a while.
2. Find a Swimming Hole. This tip is for folks in the country. There are several near and far from me (unfortunately nothing within walking distance). What you're looking for is something on the icy side so you can bring your core temperature down. Don't forget to put an extra towel on your car seat so you don't fry your bottom when you leave.
3. Turn on the Brooklyn AC. When I lived in Brooklyn there were no swimming holes, and we couldn't afford the electricity an AC unit sucked down so we made our own AC. First set up a chair with a towel on it. Beach or bath it doesn't matter. Second position an oscillating fan in front of your chair. Third grab all the bandanas you own and soak them in cold water, wring out most but not all of the water. Fourth strip naked. Then sit on the chair, place the damp bandanas all over your body and turn the fan on high. It will feel like you have AC. Re-wet the bandanas as they dry.
4. Make a pitcher of ice tea. I covered the basic concept for ice tea here. My friend Hilary Zaloom made this divine ice tea for our monthly knitting group when we were crazy enough to meet during a similar heat wave last summer. We ended up at Hilary's house because she has AC (and not the Brooklyn kind) and she also makes the most delicious drinks. Needless to say between the beverages and the AC we were all happy to sit there for several hours chatting with a bunch of wool in our laps.
The genius of this ice tea isn't just in the flavor combination, but in the sweetener. Instead of using a simple syrup (one part water to one part sugar) Hilary adds honey and some warm water to a squirt bottle. Once shaken to combine the honey water can be squirted into any cool beverage as a sweetener without clumping as it is want to do in cold drinks. Brilliant!
Place teabags in a large pitcher of water and let soak 3+ hours or overnight. Remove bags and add mint sprigs. Slice half the orange and juice the remaining half. Add juice and slices to the tea. Sweeten to taste with honey water.
*Store honey water in the fridge if you don't use it immediately, it will keep for a week or so.
I've been plenty "perspie" lately and our favorite swimming hole is too low for lack of rain. Care to share and meet at yours some time?
I will definitely take you there!
My mom would have been "horrified" 😉 at the idea of a lady perspiring. She'd say, "horses sweat, men perspire, and women glow." Oh, how I wish I only glowed. I sweat!


Last week, we had a week of skiing for our older full-day children.
The children were very excited and happy to go, some were excited and jumped at every opportunity, others were a bit timid and very few were even a bit scared in the begnning, but they all ended up learning a lot and having lots of fun! The last day race was fun for all and well worth it! Congratulations to all our little skiers.

John W. Walker Papers
Creator Walker, John Williams, 1783-1823
Title John W. Walker Papers
Description Born April 12, 1783, in Amelia County, Virginia, John Williams Walker was the son of a Baptist preacher of Scots-Irish origin. Later in 1783, his family moved to Wilkes County, Georgia. Walker graduated from the College of New Jersey (now Princeton University) in 1805 before moving to Natchez, Mississippi Territory, and investing in newly-opened Cherokee lands in Madison County, Mississippi Territory (present-day Huntsville, Alabama) with a number of Georgia associates. In 1810, Walker moved to Madison County and soon became a powerful landholder there. He was elected to the legislature of the new Alabama Territory in 1818, and in 1819 was appointed a territorial judge. He soon resigned that post to become a member of the Alabama state constitutional convention, and then one of Alabama's first U.S. senators. Throughout his political career, Walker was a strong advocate of Alabama statehood (as opposed to statehood as part of Mississippi), and of the interests of his own set of northern Alabama landholders. He served in the U.S. Senate from 1819-1822, and died in Huntsville in 1823. Consists of a letter (both original and photocopy, together with a typescript) from John W. Walker in Alabama's territorial capital, St. Stephens, to a friend of his in Washington, D.C. It is dated February 1, 1818, during Walker's term in the territorial legislature. In the letter, Walker informs his friend of his decision to decline appointment as the territory's delegate to Congress, and to decline President James Monroe's appointment as territorial secretary, both for health reasons. He also urges his friend to firmly advocate in Washington for Alabama's preferred boundary line with Mississippi, which included most of the settlements along the Tombigbee River.

FEELING LIKE A KID: Childhood and Children's Literature
Jerry Griswold
Johns Hopkins University Press ($19.95)
by Emma Shafer
"It is striking," writes Jerry Griswold in his in-depth inspection of children's literature, Feeling like a Kid, "how often growing up in children's literature means looking down and be-littling." Griswold, then, is child-like at heart, letting none of his years nor any part of his academic nature interfere with his frank admiration of children's literature. Feeling like a Kid is written in the crisp, bright manner of a yet-to-be disillusioned graduate student happening upon an exciting new subject for the first time, combined with the sage irony and impeccable background of a full-fledged academic expert that one would expect from an author who is the director of the National Center for the Study of Children's Literature.
Griswold explores children's literature through five key themes: snugness, scariness, smallness, lightness, and aliveness. Each of these tropes exhibits a certain appeal to young people and simultaneously guides adults in understanding the psyche of children. As Griswold says, "the great writers for children know—and their stories speak of and reveal—what it feels like to be a kid." Griswold deftly references a virtual smorgasbord of classic children's literature in his quest; he stumbles, however, in that the vast majority of the books he explores are quite old-fashioned. This is not to say there is no merit in older works. In fact, books such as Kenneth Grahame's The Wind in the Willows or George MacDonald's The Light Princess, too little known to this generation of readers, are delightful inclusions. Where Griswold reveals his weakness is in the decided lack of comparable titles from contemporary authors and his inclusion, instead, of so-called "blockbuster" children's books such as the Harry Potter series.
This omission of pertinent contemporary works of children's literature is troubling. Griswold indicates his assumption that even if he is able to remain in touch with his inner child, his audience is made up of those who have grown up to look down upon contemporary kids' books, concerning themselves only with the children's literature written when they themselves were children. For example, the captivating 1971 novel Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH is only mentioned in passing—and, horrifyingly, only by the title of the movie based upon the book, in a list of children's movies in which the phenomenon of Smallness is present. Similarly, the mysterious and intriguing animal daemons found in the universe of Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy would be impeccable additions to Griswold's assertions regarding Aliveness, but are overlooked for more traditional examples, like the animals of Aesop's fables.
Of course, one book cannot be exhaustive in such a broad and varied field without becoming superficial, and Feeling like a Kid is anything but superficial. It is rather an adept and engaging blend of scholarly analysis and genuine passion and regard for the value of children's literature.

Dr. Shoshany introduced this device to his practice at the beginning of 2019 in a limited, but practical role. Now he is ready to integrate the FX635 into the majority of his non-invasive back and joint pain treatment protocols.
by Chiropractor Dr. Steven Shoshany at his lower Manhattan practice. Dr. Shoshany introduced this device to his practice at the beginning of 2019 in a limited, but practical role. Now he is ready to integrate the FX635 into the majority of his non-invasive back and joint pain treatment protocols.
This brand new laser was developed by Erchonia and earned multiple FDA clearances in 2018. Dr. Shoshany is currently the only chiropractor in NYC to offer this exclusive treatment. A longtime proponent of laser therapy, Dr. Shoshany has already been utilizing both "cold" and "hot" lasers in his practice for many years. He has been working with Erchonia products for 15 years.
This class leading therapeutic laser was introduced in 2018 and is the most advanced light therapy device on the market coming in the to the new year. It houses cutting edge technology, a culmination of over 20 years of Erchonia's research and development in the field of laser therapy. It is truly unlike any other laser on the market. From how it is built, to how the laser diodes are used, the FX 635 was built with non-invasive treatment and long term pain reduction as its foundation.
It has recently earned clearance by the FDA for treating chronic low back pain. The FX 635 was shown to be effective for 72% of patients in double-blind placebo trials. The treatment is also affordable, and Dr. Shoshany is already planning to run multi-session and integrated treatment deals.
"I want to get my patients using this amazing tool. It's going to change how much we can offer our patients, and it is going to change the way chiropractors utilize laser therapy in a big way," said Dr. Shoshany. "At my practice, we don't wait around for things to catch on. If we know it works, we get it to our patients. I have been providing the best non-invasive treatment for a number of painful conditions like chronic back pain, and using the best tools for the job is how I will continue to do so in the future."
The FX 635 has no side effects, and the laser is not hot to the touch. Erchonia was founded in 1996 and boasts over 20 years of research and development in the field of light therapy devices. They are a family run business to this day. A global leader in the field, they have multiple FDA clearances for their therapy devices.
Dr. Steven Shoshany has been a practicing chiropractor in New York for 20 years. He is the chiropractic director of an integrated multidisciplinary practice in one of NYC's most vibrant neighborhoods. He has specialized in treating spinal issues like cervical, thoracic, and lower back pain. Through the use of integration, Dr. Shoshany has seen unrivaled results without over-reliance on surgery or pain medication. He currently resides with his family in lower Manhattan.

To be honest, I really want to have my own car. There is no denying! I think a car is no longer a luxury in this generation but it already considered a need. But, if I were rich, I would go for an ATV. Not that I like how ATV Tires look but I love the idea of riding my car anywhere – in all terrain!!
I don't consider myself as a sporty gal but I am sure I have an adventurous spirit in me!

Q: Definition of Local Ring I was reading some article on local rings, and it gave the following (equivalent) definitions:
A ring $R$ is $local$ if it satisfies one of the following equivalent properties (so this needs proving)

*

*$R$ has a unique left maximal ideal.

*$R$ has a unique right maximal ideal.

*$1\neq 0$, and the sum of non-units of $R$ is a non-unit.

*$1\neq 0$, and for all $r\in R$, either $r$ or $1-r$ is a unit.

*If the sum of finite number of elements in $R$ is a unit, then the sum must contain a unit as one of the summands.

Okay, I have no qualm with this definition, except that...
Do we allow the ring to be without an identity?
I mean, what if $1\not\in R$? Can one talk about a local ring that does not have an identity?

A: Usually, unless otherwise specified, when we say "ring" we mean ring with identity.
In algebraic-geometric or commutative-algebraic contexts, "local ring" usually also means Noetherian.


Answer for "What does it mean when a home is sold "AS IS"?"
When a home is marked "as is", it means the home seller will not take part on any renovations, will not fix any defects the home buyer might bump into. If the home buyer wants to buy the property, he'll have to buy it the way the house currently is.
However, there is a lot of nuance to this. To sell "as is", the home seller is obligated to make a seller's disclosure in good faith describing all known defects of the house, so the truth is that the "as is" holds little weight, as the home buyer can still back out of the deal if the home inspection he/she orders during closing reveals fixes that are too expensive for his/her pockets. Because of that, there are home sellers who impose a no-home inspection rule, sort of like "when it's your house you can inspect however you want it". This is rude (not to mention idiotic) and it drives home buyers away even more than the "as is" already does. It reduces the potential buyers to people who don't care about the dwelling because they will tear it down and build a new one altogether.
Noticed how we said "even more" when mentioning that prohibiting home inspections would drive home buyers away from the "as is" properties? Yes, truth is that "as is" properties are already overlooked by home buyers. They take the "as is" as a sign the house has major issues the home seller is hiding. Because of that, home buyers will do whatever they can to low-ball you.
Of course, this isn't the reason why someone sells a home "as is". Most of the times it's a matter of either the home seller having no money to do any repairs to the home and not having the time and the will to endure a long back-and-forth negotiation of repairs because of the results of the home inspection. In fact, a home that wasn't announced as an "as is" – it needs to be marked as one on the listing – can, sometimes, if the home buyer is making too many requests, becomes a "de facto" as is. What happens is that home buyers see the home inspection as a way to negotiate even more and lower the price by unreasonably asking the home seller to fix even stuff that poses no danger – like a dent on a door. The seller, then, gets fed up and says that he won't make any more concessions. From that point on, the house becomes "as is"; take it or leave it. Another example of "as is" are both foreclosures - in fact, you can't even see the house prior to making your bid - and short sales.
So, now that you know now what it means to sell a home "as is": what are your thoughts? Would you sell a house as is? Even more important: would you buy one? Tell us in the comments!
Do I have a Lien on my Home? What is equity? Do real estate agents work with home renters? How much money can I borrow to buy a home? What is a maintenance fee?


While Playas del Coco clearly has not been immune to recent economic ills, much has been accomplished this past year. Most visible are the two new banks in downtown Coco: the Banco de Costa Rica branch in Plaza Colonial and the expansive new Banco Nacional complex farther down the road. A new Chinese restaurant, Jinau, is open in the Coco Beach Hotel and Casino, and the Marina Video Club now serves residents of the Marina Loft condos on the Ocotal road.
But most significantly, after more than a year of debate, the Constitutional Chamber of the Supreme Court (Sala IV) has approved construction of an aqueduct to bring additional water to our side of the hill. This large project will hopefully assure our continued growth in a controlled direction and allow for the completion of many residential and commercial projects that have been stalled until the matter was settled.
All year, residents have watched the great improvements made along our beachfront. While these have included cleanup efforts and beautification projects, the real change has been establishing a base for an extensive park that will connect the beach's two estuaries and act as parentheses for the harbor. The park will include walkways, a playground and even a small open-air theater, yet is designed in such a way that the essence of our town and waterfront as a working harbor will remain.

Eagle River woman leads team to college entrepreneurship contest victory
Members of the winning team in this semester's Business Plan and Prototype Competition at SUNY Potsdam posed outside Satterlee Hall following their winning presentation. From left, Tori Peters, Sarah Berger, Emrys Burl, Brad Sweet, Claire Burns, Tatum Walber, School of Education and Professional Studies Dean Dr. Walter J. Conley and Dylan Staple. (SUNY Potsdam photo)
An Eagle River woman was on a team of students who won an entrepreneurship contest for devising a new system for tracking and managing luggage.
Claire Burns — who graduated summa cum laude from the State University of New York Potsdam in May with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Speech Communication and Business Administration — led the team of seven who won the Department of Business Administration's 53rd Entrepreneurial Business Plan and Product Prototype Competition this spring.
The winning team's idea was a luggage tag radio frequency identification (RFID) system.
"When a passenger checks in with their luggage, the airline personnel would scan the tag," reads a press release about the competition. "Information such as the traveler's name, home address, email, phone number, connecting flights and destination would then be seamlessly recorded in the airline computer system which tracks the location of the luggage. The RFID luggage tag offers convenience to passengers and airlines and lessens the chance of misplaced luggage."
In addition to coming up with the idea, the students were also tasked with creating a business plan, according to professor Dr. Edwin J. Portugal.
"Teams develop a strategic business plan that integrates the students' understanding of the functional areas of accounting, finance, management, marketing, information systems, legal environment of business, human resource management and operations," Portugal said in the release. "Students experience the stimulation of working in teams, the exhilaration of innovative thinking, the excitement of public speaking and the challenges of coordinating team members' unique talents."
Burns said the project was gratifying because it showed the value of hard work.
"This project challenged our ability to work cooperatively as a team. Not only did we have to create a product supported by a cohesive business plan, we also had to be able to communicate our ideas to other people effectively," she said. "I am thrilled my team was able to face the challenge and experience the excitement in receiving the trophy as a result of months of hard work. This was the most rewarding aspect of this project for me as a team leader."
Two named to Washington University Dean's List
A pair of local students have been named to the spring 2019 semester Dean's List at Washington University in St. Louis.
Named to the list in the university's College of Arts and Sciences was Eagle River's Alina Denisenko. To be named to the list, students must earn at least a 3.6 GPA completing at least 14 graded units.
Named to the list in the university's McKelvey School of Engineering was Eagle River's Jason Woodring. To be named to the list, students must earn at least a 3.6 GPA and complete at least 12 graded units.

TEAM BULLET LINER
JOSHUA DELAUNE
Manager, Truck Bed Liner Division, and Eastern U.S. Region Sales
Josh De Laune is Manager of the Truck Bed Liner Division for Accella Bullet Liner. Based out of the company's satellite operation in Marietta, GA, he has overseen corporate sales initiatives for the brand since 2010, and also directs regional business development for the Eastern U.S. region. Josh gained experience from a young age while exposed to his father Scooter De Laune's protective coatings business. After working in production to gain product knowledge, and being trained on the industry's latest equipment and technology, he was assigned to expand and sell product for, what was at that time, the newest addition to the Burtin Polymer Laboratories' family, Bullet Liner Protective Coatings. In this capacity, he helped to play a pivotal role in growing and developing the dealer program and sales infrastructure for the Bullet Liner brand, until it was acquired by Accella Performance Materials in 2015. Prior to his tenure in the spray-on bed liner market, Josh served in the U.S. Navy as a Master-at-Arms (Military Police), working in the Continental U.S. and serving as an Intelligence Liaison for an Army battalion in Southern Iraq, as part of Operation Iraqi Freedom.


When it comes to comic book entertainment, it seems like no one had quite as good of a year as Marvel did. The pop culture juggernaut charged into 2016 with a slew of film, television, video games, and comic book projects – and it looks like the litany of titles paid off. Over on Twitter, Marvel released a video which glossed over its biggest moments of 2016, and there were plenty to talk about.
Kicking things off, Marvel gave nod to the past year's comic book titles. Of course, Civil War II took readers by storm as it acted as sort-of follow up to the original 2006 Civil War story. This time, Iron Man found himself pitted against Carol Danvers, and the miniseries ended with the death of two major characters.
As for Marvel's animation pursuits, the company had success on all ends. They debuted Hulk: Where Monsters Dwell and a series of animated Funko shorts. Animation was also key in brining some of the company's video games to life like LEGO Marvel Avengers, Avengers Academy, and Marvel Tsum-Tsum.
Marvel Television can't be overlooked when it comes to successes. The company's partnership with Netflix ushered in a second season of Daredevil and the premiere of Luke Cage. And, on cable programming, Agents of SHIELD returned for another season that featured HIVE and Ghost Rider.
When it comes to movies, there may have been fewer updates, but the features made up for the slight in quality. Both Captain America: Civil War and Doctor Strange debuted this year and smashed box-office expectations. The former stands as one of this year's most lucrative films while Doctor Strange was said to have told an origin story like that seen in Iron Man.
Next year, there will be plenty to look forward to from Marvel Entertainment. The company is set release films like Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 and Spider-Man: Homecoming to the delight of millions.

The Alhambra Woods…
The Alhambra Woods submerge into an underwater world
The sea will be the main feature in the Alhambra Woods as from 9th October next. This is the date of the opening of The underwater world, an exhibition that will reveal the best seascapes of all the oceans and most striking living creatures, in a selection of almost 70 photographs taken by national and international photographers. This exhibition can be visited up until 31st December, and is organized by Lunwerg and the Foundation AXA in collaboration with the Patronato de la Alhambra y Generalife, and will have as its curator the naturalist Joaquín Araújo.
The underwater world is divided into six sections: 'The Atlantic Ocean', 'The Pacific Ocean', 'The Indian Ocean', 'The polar seas', 'The errors of bad mariners (ailing seas)' and 'Voyage towards wisdom (retrieving transparency)'.
During your tour of the photographs you can see images that play with your sight and whose beauty can transfer the imagination of the visitor from natural surroundings to an almost magical environment.
The curator of the exhibition believes that "some of the images that attract most attention are the jellyfish that have bodies consisting of 98 per cent water, and which reveal brilliant and striking colours under water.
The acrobatic acts of the humpback whales also play an important role in some of these images: "Surprising photographs, taking into account the fact that they have a weight of between 25 and 30 tons, and can often be seen flying above the sea", says Araújo.
In fact the cetaceans have become one of the symbols in the fight for conservation of underwater life, and thanks to the campaigns carried out since the 1970s it has been possible to decrease or eliminate the hunting of whales.
On the other hand, the "aquatic ballets that have been most photographed and appreciated" are of the shoals of barracudas, which we can see in some of these images, together with other species that live on the land but feed on marine species, as is the case of the penguins, polar bears and some birds.
Reflection and commitment to the environment
Apart from the images of fantastic surroundings, this exhibition emphasizes the state of many places around the world which have been damaged by environmental destruction, as well as the effects that this damage may have on humans. Therefore it endeavors to make us citizens reflect and achieve our commitment by means of several of these photographs.
Among other images, The underwater world dwells on the catastrophe that the sinking of the Prestige meant to Galicia, and it pays tribute to the volunteers who went and supported in the cleaning tasks on the coast.
One of the figures shown in this exhibition is the fact that in the last 70 years 10,000 accidents with petrol tankers have been registered, and at least a hundred of them have caused serious damages. On top of all this, 90 per cent of the population of large fish in the planet has already disappeared.
Date: 9th October till 31st December, 2012
Venue: Alhambra Woods


Nestled on a quiet, tree lined street on the northwest slope in Bernal, this handsome 1908 home boasts a fabulously remodeled kitchen w/modern open plan for living & dining areas, 3 levels of living w/3 bedrooms, office & playroom, & views, views, views!

Allergy and asthma patients, UNITED!
On the 25th of April, patients and doctors launched and the Members of the European Parliament Interest Group on Allergy and Asthma launched a call to action on allergy and asthma. Sign it now
The political Call to Action in Europe 'United action for allergy and asthma' was launched on April 25th a multi-stakeholder partnership between three co-initiators: the European Parliament Interest Group on Allergy and Asthma, the European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology (EAACI), and the European Federation of Allergy and Airways Diseases Patients' Associations (EFA).
Over 80 people attended the event, marking the start of a pan-European advocacy campaign to drive action on allergy and asthma – the most prevalent chronic diseases in Europe.
Need for a health-in all policies approach to tackle allergy, asthma and COPD
The event was co-hosted by 3 Members of the European Parliament, from 3 different political groups: MEP Sirpa Pietikainen (EPP, Finland), MEP Karin Kadenbach (S&D, Austria), MEP Nathalie Griesbeck (ALDE, France), and new IG member Jamorik Kohlicek (GUE/NGL, Check Republic) also participated.
EFA President Mikaela Odemyr stressed the importance to design and implement policies which prevent diseases' development (especially in legislations ruling healthcare; indoor air quality; chemicals; and food safety), and that high health standards require public policies that actively support health - in public health services, prevention, research, personalised medicine, and treatments.
She underlined allergy, asthma, and COPD need cross policy making applying a holistic approach among health, buildings and houses, safety at work, agriculture, and nutrition sectors.
Sign the call to action on allergy and asthma now!
Targeted at EU and national policymakers, the call to action presents policy recommendations to EU Member States, the European Commission, the European Parliament and patients/civil society stakeholders, with the overarching objective to unite all strategic parties in Europe to help bring about effective policy responses to allergy and asthma through a collaborative and holistic approach, supporting patients' rights. In particular, it calls for:
European strategies and programmes on allergy and asthma to be implemented in all Member States
greater funding for research to advance the understanding of allergy and asthma
better prevention and diagnosis to achieve early detection and allow timely and effective treatment
actions to address underlying triggers, such as air quality, food allergens and chemicals, and to improve the analysis of the root causes of allergic diseases
strengthened work to pioneer individualised treatment and progress personalised medicine.
The Call to Action is open until the end of September for endorsement by all interested parties wishing to join this move to support stronger and improved allergy and asthma policies. An online platform for endorsement is available at http://www.callallergyasthma.eu/ and the Coalition encourages you to take part in this initiative.

Once a powerhouse for milling operations, the river that runs through the municipality of Mississippi Mills, Ontario, now serves to enrich the local lifestyle.
Quaint, charming and picturesque, the villages and towns that dot the banks of the mighty Mississippi River flowing through the municipality of Mississippi Mills in eastern Ontario immerse visitors and inhabitants alike in the essence and soul of their historic origins. Not only that, these long established communities exude passion and energy as they transform vision and potential into concrete action and results.
Comprising the amalgamated communities of Almonte, Pakenham, Appleton and Clayton, as well as the rural areas of Ramsay Township, the municipality shares a 130-year history of woollen mill operations along the banks of the Mississippi River. Each community continues to share with equal pride and gusto the binding ties of the river that flows through them.
With its torrential awakening in the spring, a mellowing flow through the lazy, hazy days of summer and on into the mystical, crystallizing dress of winter, each community experiences its own unique display of the river's power, its beauty and joyful gaiety and playfulness as it tumbles and rumbles, taking passage under the pathways above and over rocks and deepening excavations in the river bed below.
When opened, the weir at Appleton provides ribbons of rushing water over a slippery wall of concrete that drops a short distance down into a sudsy foam at its base.
Almonte is the only town in Ontario named after a Mexican general. With a proud origin as a textile/mill town, Almonte once boasted seven busy woollen mills, the last of which closed in the 1980s. The Mississippi Valley Textile Museum, housed in the annex of the old Rosamond Woollen Mill—a national historic site of Canada—offers visitors an enlightening experience of recorded history on the mill operations as well as a large display of tactile and visual exhibits.
Almonte's wealth of varying-sized waterfalls offers to its viewing audience both sights and sounds that leave no doubt as to the power and volume of the Mississippi. Grand Falls in particular (above) gives forth an exquisite display during the height of its spring flow. With an abundance of power, the river currently supports two electrical power plants. Here are 10 more spectacular waterfalls in Canada.
Another feather in Almonte's crown: Reader's Digest recently named it one of the best places to spend Christmas in Canada!
Flowing under the Blakeney bridge, the river lazily arrives from Almonte. Picking up momentum, it travels over smoothly polished rocks and with its gaiety and playful churning and gyrating, it moves with a swift white-water frothiness towards the village of Pakenham.
Reaching Pakenham, the Mississippi is met by the Five Span Bridge (above), which is the only one of its kind in North America. Built in 1901 to accommodate horse and carriage traffic on the way to the local mills, public pressure led to its restoration rather than its demolition and replacement in 1984 to handle modern-day traffic. Today, pulsating into peaks of sudsy foam and powered along by a strong current, the Mississippi continues its traditional rapid course through and past the refurbished stone arches, breaking against any obstacle in its path until eventually it joins forces with the Ottawa River near Arnprior.
The Mississippi River is one of the many treasures offered for a lifestyle that is second to none along its banks, in the community of Mississippi Mills.
Need another reason to visit Mississippi Mills? This random act of small town kindness will warm your heart.

Înfățișarea lui sugerează numai bine, fericire și prosperitate. Imagini a lui Budai sunt văzute aproape în toate templele și restaurantele din China. În afară de credincioși budiști, pe Budai l-au adoptat și taoiștii. De asemenea a fost adoptat și de șintoiștii din Japonia, care îl numesc Hotei.

Is Mayawati-Sonia Honeymoon Coming to an End?
by News Features
Is the honeymoon between United Progressive Alliance (UPA) chairperson and Congress president Sonia Gandhi and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati coming to an end? The question was doing rounds here after Mayawati chose to train her guns for the first time on both the Congress as well as the UPA.
"The Congress party and UPA should not take our support for granted," the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) chief thundered at two election rallies in the state over the weekend.
By-elections to three state assembly seats are going to be held Aug 31.
Mayawati appeared to have struck a rapport with Gandhi no sooner than she rode to power three months ago. She was famously hosted to tea by Gandhi at her home. Her support for the ruling coalition in New Delhi, especially for the Congress' presidential nominee Pratibha Patil and vice presidential candidate Mohammad Hamid Ansari, was seen as an obvious quid pro quo for a "clean chit" the chief minister got from the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) over her alleged involvement in a land scam in Agra near the Taj Mahal during her previous regime.
However, the tide seems to be turning now.
"BSP has already managed to come to power in the country's most populous state. Very soon you will see the party establishing itself in a big way in several other states and the day is not far when we will take over Delhi," she said at an election rally.
"It will then be too late for the Congress to realise its mistake of ignoring us," she warned.
She was referring to her demand for a special development package of Rs.800 billion she has sought from Prime Minister Manmohan Singh for the vast, backward areas of Purvanchal, or eastern Uttar Pradesh, and Bundelkhand in southern Uttar Pradesh.
Mayawati told voters in Swar-Tanda in Rampur district and Farrukhabad over the weekend: "I had met Prime Minister Manmohan Singh seeking a special economic package for the backward regions of Purvanchal and Bundelkhand, but sadly he has not cared to even send a reply so far."
She also criticised the central government for not considering her demand to introduce reservations for weaker sections of society for jobs in the private sector.
Flaying the Congress, whose candidate was a major threat to the BSP in the Farukkhabad by-election, she said: "Apparently, the Congress party is bothered only about the interest of corporate houses and not the poor and the downtrodden.
Holding the Congress and other parties responsible for the economic backwardness of the state, she said: "After all it was the Congress that ruled the state for 40 years and it were other parties like BJP (Bharatiya Janata Party) and Samajawadi Party which had their governments for other long stints here.
"Sure enough their respective leaders were either playing vote politics or were busy in the aggrandisement of their parties; no one cared about the state's development."
She added, "This is the first time that we have formed a government entirely on our own and from day one our emphasis has been on improvement of law and order, which is now to

Netflix Tumbles on a Subscriber Miss: 10 Key Takeaways
While the streaming giant beat earnings expectations and reported nearly in-line revenue, it missed paid subscriber growth expectations by a sizable margin, with U.S. paid subs declining relative to Q1.


YAY! Strange Publications are publishing an anthology of the year's stories – check out the cover art to the left. It will feature my story 'Through the Warped Eye of Death' which appeared in issue 2.
Plus, the same team are also behind 52 Stitches, which opened for submissions for flash fiction yesterday. They started my Sunday off in a good way by accepting my story 'Nobody Smiling'.
Hoping to get at least 500 words done on 'Theatre of Curious Acts' later today if I get home in time – don't want to miss my favourite Sunday night show at the moment – Stephen Fry in a taxi journeying across all of the United States states.
Congratulations on the acceptances, Cate. And Stephen Fry is a funny man; I loved him in V for Vendetta and he is a hoot as the narrator in Little Big Planet (my partner is a gonzo gamer). God only knows why Mr. Fry would want to waste his time driving across this country. If I were younger, I would emigrate to someplace sane.
What a cool cover. Congrats on your multi-conglomerate plethora of acceptances lately.
Oh, and thanks for mentioning my story in Macabre Cadaver!
That cover is awesomely disturbing.
Congrat Cate. That cover is pretty cool, but I don't know if I want to see what I am eating all the time.
I've gotten one day rejections. I'm always oddly impressed.
Ah KC, but we Brits love America.
Jeremy - I'm hoping to get around to reading your story (and the others) early next week.
KC - Six million and seven to be precise.
Jamie - I believe you have something in 52 Stitches too - congrats.
Natalie - I adore 1 day rejections, and sending stuff to Clarkesworld you kind of expect it.
One day reject... beats the hell out a 3-month reject.
I love places like Clarkesworld & Lone Star Stories that reject very, very quickly especially as chances are I'll never get into either market.
