New York - A 25 million dollar project designed to offer alternative transmission facilities to New York City FM and TV broadcasters now resides atop of the Conde Nast building in Manhattan's Times Square district. The new multi-station master antenna facility was developed in hopes of bringing fresh competition to NYC's "vertical real estate" market, which was thrown into disarray with the destruction of the World Trade Center towers on Sept. 11, 2001.
One completely unique feature of the project is that the Model 2540 balanced FM combiner system and Model 6016-3/4-Spl broadband panel antenna, both designed and built by Shiveley Labs, comprise the first master FM antenna system designed to accommodate HD Radio hybrid operation at the outset. The multi-vendor project, managed by the Durst Organization, couples a 384' custom ERI tower to the existing building, providing a total structure height 1,142'.
The master antenna, combiner and equipment rooms are being provisioned to accommodate as many as 21 stations.
This facility was showcased in the November issue of Radio magazine. Read the article online at beradio.com/ar/radio_times_square_antenna
Technology/Applications |
Lured by the potential of supplemental audio channels (SAC) and the availability of matching funds to help cover conversion costs, a number of NPR Radio affiliates have begun the engineering and paperwork required for migration to hybrid HD Radio operation. According to an informal survey of some major market public radio stations, the success of NPR's Tomorrow Radio testing project in demonstrating the viability of SACs, coupled with the initiation of round two in the Corporation for Public Broadcasting's (CPB) digital radio conversion grant fund have made the case for upgrading to HD Radio both "exciting and compelling."
One of the two driving forces, SAC operation, is seen by public radio stations as a potential answer to an old dilemma: How to satisfy the information needs of an intellectually active audience base, while still providing arts-intensive musical programming. For non-commercial stations relying on audience donations to hold their operating costs in the black, the answer is obvious: give both sectors more of what they want. One example of this philosophy can be found on the website of WGUC-FM in Cincinnati: "...digital radio may allow station operators to offer two distinct program "channels" simultaneously. For example, WGUC could offer classical music all day, every day on one channel, while using our second channel for spoken word programs such as All Things Considered, Car Talk and Brain Brew. National Public Radio is currently conducting tests of this feature."
Another NPR major-market NPR affiliate, WDUQ-FM in Pittsburgh, anticipates the possibility of signing on an HD Radio hybrid signal later this year. According to their website "...regular FM radios will continue to work just fine, but the potential for exciting new services might encourage listeners to try an HD Radio sooner rather than later. Those services could include customized and stored audio segments, text and even pictures. Many localized reception problems could also be improved. In addition, remarkable advances in digital technology could allow WDUQ to transmit an additional supplemental audio stream, pending [FCC] approval. A handful of public radio stations are beginning to convert their signals, thanks to significant matching funds from the CPB, WDUQ's transition could begin in 2004...however WDUQ will need local funds to match the proposed CPB investment."
Indeed, the matching grants now being offered by the CPB have entered a second round, after providing over 3 million dollars in initial transition funding. In fact, the CPB estimates that it may disburse as much as $6,750,000 in additional matching grants during the current phase of the program. In order to qualify, the public broadcaster must currently be CPB funded, certify their financial ability to complete the project within three to six months, and hold all required licenses and permits for work to proceed. Individual grants are capped at 75 thousand dollars or 70 percent of the project total for most qualifying stations, though some rural applicants may be eligible for as much as 80 thousand dollars or 80 percent of total project cost. Both AM and FM public radio stations may apply for the grants.
One beneficiary of the CPB program is northeast Ohio's WKSU-FM. While the Kent State University-based broadcaster is not currently operating its main transmitter in IBOC, the station's new 4kW FM repeater station in Norwalk, OH, is now being built as a hybrid HD Radio facility. According to Ron Bartlebaugh, WKSU's director of engineering, the station has applied to the CPB for additional grant funding that would assist in adding HD Radio to the main WKSU signal. If these monies are received, Bartlebaugh says that conversion may be completed within this calendar year, while HD Radio conversion of the station's three remaining repeaters will proceed as further funding is secured.
CPB says that a third round of the HD Radio conversion will become available pending congressional approval of an omnibus spending bill currently under consideration.
Eye on IBOC |
As HD Radio continues a slow-but-steady rollout in the U.S., broadcasters in Canada and Mexico have expressed concern over a number of issues regarding potential cross-border effects of its implementation.
Canadian broadcasters, in particular, have long questioned America's commitment to an in-band on-channel approach, while opting for new spectrum allocations as a home for the Eureka 147 digital radio architecture. In the words of Steven Edwards, VP of engineering for Toronto-based radio group Rogers Media, "you're left with the conclusion: why did they bother? They ended up with a system that isn't particularly useful."
The Canadian's dour outlook on HD Radio is fueled by two factors. The first involves potential interference by U.S. HD Radio-equipped stations operating on adjacent FM and AM channels to those held by Canadian broadcasters. This issue comes into clearer focus when one considers that 75 percent of Canada's citizens live within 200 miles of the border, along with the recent recommendation of the NAB that the FCC permit 24-hour AM IBOC operation. Simply put, skywave interference will negatively effect first-adjacent AM signals at night. The NAB conceded that point in its comments, while concluding that the benefits offered by HD Radio AM were such that they outweighed the negative effects - unless, of course, you happen to own a Canadian AM station that not in a position to implement HD Radio AM.
The second bone of contention involves the willingness of consumer receiver manufacturers to build different radios for the Canadian and US markets. If Eureka 147 product is slow to arrive and HD Radio receivers manage to become more plentiful and lower cost, it's possible that Canadian consumers will be tempted to spend more time listening to US signals. A further complication is likely to surface as the implementation of Digital Radio Mondiale (DRM) standards for North American medium-wave services are brought into play.
The situation in Mexico is more fluid, because digital standards there are still in a somewhat elastic state. In fact, one station, XHFAJ-FM in Mexico City, has been operating in HD Radio FM experimentally since last October, providing an evaluation platform for Mexican broadcasters and regulators. Still, Mexican AM stations operating near the American border are also concerned about the effect of IBOC AM skywave on first-adjacent channels. Though the FCC maintains the regulatory ability to order the shut down of offending digital carriers, some Mexican AM operators quietly point out that cross-border cooperation on interference issues has been spotty over the years.
More detailed positions from government officials in both Mexico and Canada are expected as HD Radio deployment in the U.S. matures.
HD Radio Terminology |
program associated data (PAD): An HD Radio ancillary data service provisioned to provide information such as song titles, artist names, and other related information to consumer's radios for simultaneous display or later recall.
telematics: Mobile technology applications designed to provide motorists and their passengers a broad range of services in the areas of onboard communications, navigation and entertainment.
Products |
Kenwood America no longer holds the distinction of being the only manufacturer to realize retail sales of HD Radio receivers, as JVC's KD-SHX 900 joined the fledgling HD Radio receiver market last week. Now listed as ready to ship at a number of retail mobile audio websites, this single DIN space JVC product offers CD/MP3 playback, a 256-color display and is Sirius Satellite Radio ready.
The KD-SHX900 and Kenwood's KTC-HR100 HDE Radio tuner are the only HD Radio consumer products known to be currently shipping. Panasonic's MXE CQ-CB9900U is expected to arrive at US retail audio outlets in a matter of weeks.
Visteon May Ship OEM HD Radio Receivers as Early Q4 2004
Visteon, a major manufacturer of what have become known as telematic systems - mobile technology application in the areas of communications, navigation and entertainment electronics - reports that it may ship OEM HD Radio products to vehicle manufacturers as early as fall 2004. According to Visteon spokesperson Robin Pannecouck, those radios will probably not find their way onto auto showroom floors until the second half of the 2005 model year, even though the radios themselves are "ready to go."
Citing customer confidentiality issues, Pannecouk would not specify which automakers were negotiating with the company, but did say that there was a general consensus that the 2005 calendar year is expected to bring the number of broadcast outlets transmitting an HD Radio signal up to a level that will make the product an attractive amenity from the standpoint of car makers and dealers. Delphi, another large OEM Telematics producer, has not yet firmly committed to providing an HD Radio product, but remains "ready to support any customer request" according to Jane Williams, a company communications specialist.

Think before you drink
You'd think the Northwest would know how to find good spring water, and to stay away from the purified stuff.
There is a bravery to eating and drinking what is put in front of you, a thankfulness and can-do spirit. But there is also a foolishness to it, a stupidity even, as one realizes the forces of manipulation. Water has waded into that foolishness.
Water is water — you can hear yourself saying such — but it is not true, not now and probably not ever.
We ordered a bottle water dispenser last spring, when the tap water in the building seemed to lose its brightness. Six five-gallon refill bottles, the plugged-in dispenser, and good cool water, especially for the summer. Six months later, every afternoon, I was getting a stomach ache, a kind of gnawing, metallic discomfort. At first, yogurt or an apple or carrots seemed to solve the ache. But it was always there, every afternoon. Finally I asked my wife what she thought it might be. She suggested a few things, the best I thought was that perhaps the water dispenser had developed an algae in the tap.
Good idea, we called the company, asking would they come and check, and the next morning, a young fellow shows up with a new dispenser on a hand truck. "I checked the dispenser, Mr. Miller, it seems fine but here is a new one anyway. I noticed you are drinking the purified water — you know, we always drink the spring water in the shop, the purified stuff gives some of us a stomach ache in the afternoon."
All of us looked at him — we had not mentioned the symptoms before! He went on: "The purified stuff is Everett tap water, it gets whacked at the plant and somehow that makes it hard for the stomach lining. Same stuff that Costco uses. Let me put you on for spring water, see if that makes a difference."
Next day, of course, no stomach ache, and none since. But a month later, at a soccer tournament on a very hot day, they were giving out bottled water as a promotion — and sure enough, there was that stomach ache, that metallic ache, back again. Purified water, right on the label.
I remember listening to three young Danish students talking about their spring trip to France. It was like food, the water in France, you could eat the water it was so good. I was envious that they could so easily know the distinctions and so fully enjoy the gift. In New Zealand, every town can tell you what spring their water runs from — even New Zealand Airlines can trace the water they serve.
We are very brave about water in the Northwest — using it, driving it, damming it, connecting it, counting on it, But walk off the Bainbridge ferry and the bottled water is Dasani, purified in Iowa, or Kirkland, purified in Everett. When any fool can tell you there are some brilliant fresh water springs on Bainbridge, three of them right by the ferry.
We are very brave about water, but not very bright.

If I buy bottled water — it's not often I do so — it's always spring, never purified. (And don't even think of trying water from those jugs of distilled.)
Now, whether I'd want to drink more than a sip out of a spring that close to Eagle Harbor…
Posted Wed, Jul 27, 8:40 a.m.
Just checked our figal at the office, and it is purified. Hmmmm. But wait, bazillions of folks drink Everett water from Spada Lake. Are you saying it is ok until you take stuff out of it? Purify it, that is?
Why do we not have massive afternoon stomach aches?
The Geezer is confused.
Posted Wed, Jul 27, 10:24 p.m.
Give me good surface water, stuff that has bounced its way down a creekbed, nice and churned up and aerated. Pity those poor souls who live in fear of giardia, fearing to drink the best water in the world, lugging around filters, throwing iodine in, boiling (ugh!) Does it even exist? Maybe, along with a thousand other things that can theoretically make one sick. Or did the filter makers invent it?
Posted Thu, Jul 28, 9:27 a.m.
Ok, but WHY is "purified" water bad? Let's have some science here. Is it the addition of chlorine? fluoride? Lack of dissolved gasses? Too many minerals?
Bottled water is bad because it's stupid to pay for a truck to carry plastic bottles of water around, to store it in an un-reusable container, made from petro chemicals. It's energy inefficient and generally wasteful in an area which has access to good clean fresh water from the tap.

HI...I usually hang out on the cooking, quilting, sewing forums but have a problem with my Weedeater Featherlite GTI15 trimmer. It started giving problems last year and at the beginning of this season, had a tune up done...new fuel line, spark plug, general cleaning. Still wouldn't run properly....hard to start, ran for short time, quit and could not be started. Tried adjusting the carburator myself and only made things worse (I think). Took to a dealer/repair shop to get it back in working order, and the repair guy said it was probably the ethanol in the gas that was causing the problem. He said there is an additive you can put in your gas that will help counteract the problem with ethanol. He would check it out and let me know. I did a google search on ethanol in small engines and find there is a problem with this fuel's shelf life, water attracting properties, etc. Ethanol seemingly causes major problems with boats or so the search revealed.
My question is have any of you found this to be an issue with your grass trimmers, lawn mowers, chainsaws, etc. Or is the repair person setting me up for a huge repair bill? Plus I just want to know. Never gave any thought to the enthanol gas we now buy for our cars. Thanking you in advance for any input. Murphy 62 year old grandmother who does her own yard work!! |

Your repairman is correct and so is your research. These ethanol fuels are not a problem if they are consumed quickly in the engine. The problem lies with all equipment that has a tendency to get unused for long periods and boats are also one of those items that get put into storage in the off-season. For boat owners, this issue has been horrendous and often expensive. As I understand it, some boat owners have had to pay to have their tanks removed because there was no way to clean the bad fuel out of the tank. This meant cutting up the old tank that had been installed as the boat was being assembled but could not be removed due to the access hatch being too small. On some of the older outdoor power equipment engines, carbureter floats were made from a foam material which performed just fine in pure gasoline but began to swell when in contact with gasoline containing ethanol. This swelling caused the float to jamb against the side of the floatbowl causing engine flooding or fuel starvation. The current thinking is that these ethanol fuels should be consumed within 30 days of purchase to ensure no problems. I'm not aware of any fuel stabilizers available that will guarantee no problems but others are free to comment on this issue. You should purchase small quantities instead of filling a 5 gallon gas can like we used to do. After 30 days, dump whatever is in that gas can into your vehicle and burn it up. Run your outdoor power equipment until the engine uses up all the fuel in the tank when storing the item for winter. You can use a turkey baster to remove the greater amount of fuel from most tanks and squirt that fuel into a gas can. It is unwise to do this procedure indoors or while smoking your pipe, cigar, cigarillo or cigarette. |
STA-BIL 22240 Marine Fuel Stabilizer - 32 oz. Product Description STA-BIL 22214 Fuel Stabilizer - 32 Fl oz. Product Description |
Yes most gas have ethanol and has to be used in 30 days. I use Marine StaBil ( blue color) and I still would not keep it over 4 months. Supposing good for a year but I won't push it. Water absorbed by ethanol is the major cause of problem. These gas turn bad, turn into gum and block the passage inside of the carb. SeaFoam is very good in cleaning gum out of the carb if you can still start it. Use regularly to keep everything clean. New equipments should have design to use gas with alcohol, the old equipments are a different story. |

Thank you all for your responses. Kompressor for confirming what I had learned, Loger for the info on stabilizers, and Yungman for the info on storage. I evidently missed the memo, email, letter, news, whatever that came out about the ethanol in gas and the potential problems. :) Lessons learned: 1 -purchase only small amount(1 gal) of gas at a time. Use quickly within 30 days or discard. 2 - get it out of weedeater asap when the weed season ends or when I am not going to use weedeater within 30 days or less. Thank goodness I learned all this with a weedeater not a boat!! Murphy |
I personally use fuel with Sta-Bil up to a year without draining any fuel (boat, lawn mowers, blowers, trimmers and chain saws). This is at last 3 years w/o any problems. Plus, I feel many boaters and others have changed their philosophy on storing boats etc.. Such as, leave the fuel in with Sta-Bil, "mainly an additive to counter Ethanol's moisture and deteriorating effects" and you will have better internal protection, "Off Season". loger |
Just below this thread is a long thread on Weedeater's Featherlite trimmers and ethanol that are interesting. loger Ethanol Fuel in small engines a problem??? Featherlite weedeater |
The gasoline and alcohol do not react so there are no reaction products that can contaminate the gasoline it. can absorb more water than gasoline without it, When the concentration of water reaches a point, a precipitant will form that is a mixture of Water, alcohol, and gasoline. This precipitate can hinder the flow of gasoline. For 2 cycle engine you now have a solution with four components, alcohol, oil, gasoline, and water. The stability of this solution is less than that of the three component fuel for the 4 cycle engine. Since you have four components in the solution the point where all four components are soluble, it will take less water to start the separation. This precipitate will clog the system. You can do things to minimize the absorption of the water. Keep the gas in tightly sealed containers. The container should have, a valve that limits the incoming air. If you have a container that can handle the expansion of the air in the container this should not be a problem. By limiting the incoming air you limit the possible water that can be adsorbed into the gasoline. There is a another thing that will affect these solutions. That is temperature. As the temperature goes up the stability of the solutions goes up and they can contain more water. By keeping the gasoline away from freezing temperatures, they will more likely remain one solution with no precipitation. d trying to heat the gasoline to re dissolved the precipitants. In a tightly sealed container kept at relatively warm temperatures, you should have no problem in storing the gasoline over the winter. |
If the small engine has a fuel shut-off valve, it is possible to close the valve, with the engine running, and get most of the fuel out of the carburetor. This can be done at the end of every session, and it will greatly reduce the need for carburetor maintenance. If there is no fuel shut-off valve, you can achieve the same result by partially filling the fuel tank, and running the engine dry, until it stops. This will take some extra planning, and result in having to finish the job by hand, if the weedeater stops a minute too soon. However, the effort pays off in easy, reliable start-ups. |

These subway cars make up for cramped quarters with high-tech amenities: cell phone reception, Wi-Fi, TVs, and heated seats. Each station has escalators and elevators as well as a dedicated arts space. Gyeongbokgung station displays historical artifacts from Korean dynasties throughout the ages. Another crowd-pleaser: fares that start at $1.

Two weeks out from opener, Autzen sellout streak of 82 games in jeopardy
From today's editions:
Oregon's streak of 82 straight sellouts in Autzen Stadium for home football games, fourth-longest in the nation, is in peril.
With two weeks left before the Ducks open the season, the UO athletic department has about 5,000 tickets available for fifth-ranked Oregon's Sept. 1 home game against Arkansas State. Should those go unsold, it would be the first time Autzen wasn't at or above capacity since Sept. 18, 1999.
"To lose that would be tough," UO senior associate athletic director Craig Pintens said. "… We're hopeful that fans are going to rally, and hopefully we'll see some sales in the next couple weeks."
A convergence of both supply and demand issues led to the shortfall, which also exists — though at a less significant level — for the Ducks' other two nonconference home games, Sept. 8 vs. Fresno State and Sept. 15 vs. Tennessee Tech.
Arkansas State is using fewer than 500 tickets in Autzen's 2,000-seat visiting section, and an additional 3,000 seats are up for grabs for the first three games because students have yet to arrive on campus. The oversupply is compounded by soft demand, presumably the result of a fifth straight year of price increases as Oregon attempts to balance an ever-expanding budget, and a nonconference schedule that lacks a marquee opponent.
The athletic department raised the base price for most reserved season tickets to $486, up 13 percent, and saw season-ticket holders renew at a rate of just over 90 percent, well off the 96 percent renewal rate for 2011. The Ducks have sold more than 40,000 season tickets for the 11th straight year, but a streak of six straight years with 42,000 season tickets sold is in jeopardy.
Oregon officials say they believe perception also could be working against them. The long sellout streak and existence of a season-ticket waiting list in past years could lead some fans to think seats aren't available, when in fact season and single-game tickets remain on sale.
"This is not a normal year," Pintens said. "There's an opportunity there." Click here for the complete story.

I live in Victoria, British Columbia. I am happily married to the most wonderful guy on earth:) Aside from being a wanna be chef, I am also a wanna be children's book author, and a famous crooner in the shower aside from being a frustrated painter/illustrator and a real trying hard golfer.
I love experimenting with different dishes from countries all over the world. I am constantly experimenting with new recipes and different types of fresh herbs and spices.
I collect cookbooks and magazines. Most of the recipes I've posted and I will be posting are from the different magazines such as Bon Appetite, Chatelaine, Cucina, Hello, Home Maker and Gourmet. I will also try to post recipes that I've grown up with as well as those that came from family and friends.
My favourite foods are the sort you will only find in my mother's kitchen, sinantolan, laing, manok na inadobo sa gata and pinatis, all prepared using coconut milk, ginger, lemon grass and chilli peppers as a base. Those are very traditional dishes from Quezon and Bicol, they're not even in cookbooks and they are hard to find even in big cities like Manila and they can only be found in true blue Bicolano and Tagalog kitchens.

Hopefully I can get advice from a knnowledgeable person here I am trying to figure things out I have found a house without looking.. actually its a house in my town that I love and have envied for years, I was drivivng by one day and saw a small for sale sign...
short end of long story I want it.... I currently own my own home free and clear, the agent selling wants to be dual on the house I love, all I keep reading is its baaaaad to have a dual .
I had a diff realtor at my current home to do a cma she walked around my house then pulled a few for sale up on the interent in my are and told me how much its worth, , I think its low.
Follow-Up Postings:
As a realtor myself, I have been a dual agent and all went very well. If she wants to represent you on the sale of your house and then the purchase of the other, that is fine. If she wants to represent you as a buyer's agent for the house she is listing, she needs permission of both you and the seller. This is completely up to you and your comfort level. If the house you want isn't in MLS, it may be an office exclusive. Some sellers do that for a variety of reasons, such as privacy. You should speak to a mortgage person for a pre-approval before you do anything else. Hope this helps. Good luck in getting your dream house! |
Also, have a CMA done using SOLD properties, if you haven't already. Homeowners always think the price quoted to them is low. If you do in fact list too low, you may have a bidding war on your hands. Properties sell for what the market will stand, no matter what. |
How does a mortgage person factor your borrowing amount when you haven't sold your house though?? I am very intersted in this property and could care less which realtor makes the $ I want it at a fair price though, and im hearing negotiating with the sellers agent is a no go. and she came right out and told me she wants to be the dual on this property. after I sounded dismayed she explained it goes easier less chance of miscommunication, I told the cma realtor all this and I think I shouldve kept my mouth shut, maybe I tipped her off to a pocket listing, and she was pissed that the dual wants to get the whole commission, thats shes not thinking of anyone but herself, frankly I am only interested in the house all the hgh school drama isnt for me. |
I understand, you need to sell your house first. A mortgage person can at least give you an idea of what you will qualify for when you do sell, assuming a certain sales price. The listing agent can't force you negotiate with only her. If she makes you uncomfortable, get your own agent. If you are comfortable with her, use her if the seller agrees. Trust your feelings. |
You have 2 different issues that are semi-related 1) ISSUE 1: BUY the house you just found 2) ISSUE 2- Sell your current home. You said you got 1 CMA from an agent and it was low. Find 2 more agents and get them to give you a CMA and their pitch on how they will sell the home. basically contact 3 agents and tell them you are considering selling and can they give you CMAs and you want to discuss how they will market your home. These agents will be giving you a speel on why to pick that agent/their firm. They each should give you realistic comps and discuss with you. You don't need to choose which agent immediately. if you dont like any of the 3, try a 4th until a good fit. Keep in mind they are in sales and might try to push you to sign a listing agreement. Dont sign until you are ready . ONLY SIGN up to a 90 DAY LSTING AGREEMENT...NO MORE (this is once you made your choice). Some might try to sneak 6 months in. You want to give yourelf the option to switch agents if you choose in 90 days. This is why you only get 90 in orig agreement. Get 60 if you can but most won't do less than 90 IMO |
When we sold our house 2 years ago, the buyer was one of our LA 's clients. It didn't seem to cause any problems from our end. She DEFINITELY worked like a dog to make the sale happen. I wouldn't hesitate to use a dual agent again. |
Dual agency is not as scarey as some people make it out to be. Its how real estate was done for years until states put a name on it. The agent MUST be fair to both sides. All you need to remember is that she is not 100 percent loyal to you or to the seller and is merely trying to bring a meeting of the minds together. Dual agency can work very well because you dont have too many hands in the pot. If this is an exclusive,you may not really have a choice than to use the listing office. Personally, if you love the house that much and you've been looking at it for years, you are taking a big chance waiting around trying to figure out who to submit the offer with. YOU know what you want to pay, and you already own a home so you know what issues can come up on a home inspection. If the Listing agent already showed you the house and you submit an offer with another agent, be prepared for her not to be so happy with you as the buyer. |
I agree Linda, heres the skinny , I contacted the cma rea that I had over, and basically she researched and found the listing broker is independant and doesnt have affiliation and isnt an mls participant, therefor cma rea believes its likely broker doesnt co broke, and cma rea will not even get invloved unless I sugn a buyer broker agreement, wont even go to see the property until then, and wants me to call the broker to let her know I will have my own buyer rep , I am stead fast losing faith, thinking about calling an atty to see if they can handle the paperwork, I am far from stupid and just need to find out all that I need to do in which order, and I know I can get it done, after all if any issues ever arrived eeven WITH a buyer rep, wont the bottom line be get an atty????? |
Call the listing agent and make appt and go see the home. Just ask the agent a few questions when you are viewing. DONT use the CMA agent.She is too lazy to call the listing agent herself (n your behalf). THis means she wont represent you well as she doesn't have guts. This might be a FSBO situation where the listing agent is a friend or relative that happens to be in the industry. If you bring another agent in to represent you (and ask the seller to pay your agent's commission)...YOU might be paying the 3% indirectly by paying a higher price. GO see the home asap. Ask questions but dont give out that much info about you. You can get an attorney to do the paperwork but first step is to see the inside of the home. You only need attorney before you sign anything...they dont set the viewing appt. |
Thanks sweet tea, I actually did see the interior already, the listing agent set it up so that the temp tennant would show me, I love it, its a perfect fit for my family, the listing agent has it listed kind of high , also , I know its not public knowledge but the prev owner recently passed away, the buyer agent had commented the property could be in probate, wouldnt that be something that would have to be disclosed ?? an attorney would know this yes ?? I didnt see this listed in the town clerks info. |

Before you get your hopes too high, you really need to speak with a lender and get a pre qualification letter in hand. No seller is going to entertain an offer w/o one. You also need to ask the listing agent if the seller is willing to take a contingent offer. Some will, some will not. Most will not even consider a contingent offer if your current home is not even listed! Most sellers want to see it go under contract before accepting a contingent offer. |

Homeless people are gaining work experience through charity Porchlight working with Asda in Broadstairs on a pilot programme.
A special programme has enabled seven people, staying in Porchlight's supported accommodation projects around Kent, to spend a day at the store, with a chance to work on the shop floor.
They also received interview and job seeking advice from Asda's community life team.
Store Manager, David Jones, said: "We wanted people to come away from the day feeling confident about searching for employment.
"It was a pleasure to be able to offer such a unique opportunity to people who have experienced difficult times in their lives.
"I was immensely impressed with everyone who came along. This the first time that Asda has done anything like this and after such a positive experience we will definitely be doing it again."
Participant Aaron Borda, 22, made such an impression that he was offered the chance to assist with the store's community life team for a week.
He said: "The whole day was exhilarating and I'm grateful for such an amazing opportunity. I have been searching for work for six months now so hopefully this will help my CV to stand out."
Porchlight's employment co-ordinator Mark Pinkney said: "I can't thank ASDA enough for giving our service users a taste of real working life.
"We are fully committed to helping homeless people compete in the job market and the support of local businesses can make the aspiration to work a reality."

Hi! I have to make a cake with champagne buttercream for next weekend and was wondering if I can add it to either Italian or Swiss Meringue buttercream. Has anyone tried it? And does it affect the consistency of the buttercream? I've searched for recipes but they all have powdered sugar. I really like the tastes of the Italian and Swiss buttercreams. I've also seen recipes with champagne flavoring. Any thought on this? Thanks!

On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.
[OS] B3/G3* - CHINA/US/ECON - China says yuan rise can't solve trade imbalance with U.S.

Letting the yuan appreciate cannot solve the U.S. trade imbalance with
China, the Foreign Ministry said on Friday, hitting back at planned U.S.
Senate legislation aimed at forcing Beijing to loosen controls on its
"China is unwilling to see an imbalance in trade between China and the
United States, and China does not seek a trade surplus," Ministry
spokesman Hong Lei told a regular news briefing.
"The Chinese government also has never aimed to benefit from global
trade by so-called exchange rate manipulation," he added.
"The yuan's appreciation cannot solve the Sino-U.S. trade imbalance
problem. We hope that relevant people in the United States can
objectively and rationally view this issue and not politicize the
renminbi's exchange rate because of U.S. domestic economic problems."
Renminbi, or "people's currency," is the yuan's formal name.
The Foreign Ministry has no say in China's currency policy, but it is
typically the only government department that will regularly comment on
the issue.
China has repeatedly rejected criticism that it deliberately undervalues
its yuan currency to give its companies a price advantage in
international markets.
It says it is committed to moving to a more flexible exchange rate but
at its own pace.
"We will continue to promote the (yuan exchange rate) mechanism's
reform, and we will take a gradualist approach, which is in line with
the interests of both China and the world," Hong added.
The Senate bill, sure to worsen ties with China that are already
strained over U.S. arms sales to Taiwan and a host of other issues,
would still face many hurdles before becoming law.
U.S. business advocacy groups in China -- fearing such a bill could
spark a trade war -- have called on Washington to focus more on other
pressing issues, such as intellectual property protection and market
access in China.
The legislation combines two earlier bipartisan measures -- one
championed by Democratic Senator Charles Schumer and Republican Senator
Lindsey Graham; the other by Brown, a Democrat, and Senator Olympia
Snowe, a Republican.
Schumer said he expected the bill to pass "resoundingly" early in
October when lawmakers return from a break.
Key Republicans in the House of Representatives have indicated a go-slow
approach to the China currency issue, and Schumer has acknowledged
President Barack Obama does not support the bill.
The bill's sponsors, which include Republican senators Jeff Sessions and
Richard Burr and Democratic senators Robert Casey and Debbie Stabenow,
argued an undervalued Chinese currency had created an unfair trade
playing field for U.S. producers.
A main provision would direct the Commerce Department to treat currency
undervaluation as a subsidy under U.S. trade law. That would allow
companies to seek countervailing duties on Chinese goods on a
case-by-case basis.

Twins X 2 take on Manhattan after appearance on 'Katie' show
Family gets welcome stares, even in big city
NEW YORK - Wednesday they were in the national spotlight on The Katie Show. Thursday RTV6 followed the Twins x 2 story as the babies ventured out into the big city.
We first met the family nine months ago when their mother, who grew up in Indiana, and their surrogate, who still lives here, were both pregnant.
Even in the hustle and bustle of New York City, the family commands attention.
All eyes gravitate to four babies. Parents Misty and Brian Baker said they are used the stares and don't mind a bit.
"It's nothing but a joy to show off these beautiful babies that wouldn't be here if it weren't for the gift of life that God gave us," Misty said.
Amber Pluckebaum gave the Bakers part of that gift. She's not only Misty's best friend, but she was also her gestational surrogate.
Amber offered to be implanted with Misty and Brian's embryos and got pregnant with their twins -- Victoria and Madison.
"Madison, every time she sees me now she always gives me this look, just like squints her eyes," Amber said. "She's like, 'I know. I may be little, but I know.'"
At the same time Amber was implanted, Misty, who'd struggled with infertility for 10 years, gave in vitro fertilization one more try, and that time it worked.
Misty also got pregnant with twins -- Hope and Connor. Now, Misty and Brian have two sets of twins.
The babies are almost eight months old now, which makes traveling from their home in Seattle across the country to New York a bit of a challenge.
"It's not traveling with just a carry-on these days," Misty said. "We definitely have checked luggage."
"I think it required four or five days of planning," Brian added. "In fact, that's about all we had to think about, was about five days of notice to come here."
For both families, New York was a well-deserved vacation. The past year has been filled with hope and prayers. They are grateful for the happy ending.
"We know how it ended, and we have a beautiful success story that we couldn't be more thankful for," Misty said.
The babies will be 1 in June. The Bakers say the kids are healthy, active and teething.
Misty's parents have been helping them out in Seattle, and the grandparents came along on the New York trip too.

Officials seek end to dumping at wildlife area State natural Resources officials are asking that residents report dumping and vandalism at the Nanticoke Wildlife Area after considerable damage has been done to the 4,415-acre site. The Delaware Division of Fish and Wildlife say dumping of trash, furniture, appliances, scrap tires and yard waste; damaging access roads with vehicles; smashing access gates; and spray-painting graffiti on wildlife area signs have been reported in recent months at the area. In April, an eight-foot tall granite monument commemorating Captain John Smith's historic 1608 expedition was pulled off of its base at Phillips Landing, resulting in $2,500 in damage. Four people were arrested in that crime. Officials urged residents to call 800-523-3336 to report illegal activities. |

Shock and awe in the Arena {WoW}
Jul 2nd 2008 9:46AM This is an interesting concept and while it's great that he managed to accomplish such a task with 4 characters simultaneously, where exactly is this "challenge" that multi-boxers speak of? What's challenging about having 4 characters being controlled with 1 keyboard. If you had to switch between the computers/application and manually play EACH character I'd give the highest praise possible. But after reading about keyclone, multi-boxing seems like EZ-mode to me. Once you have all your bars setup properly it would be nearly impossible to lose. I mean, 4 simultaneous shocks, you could even have all 3 shocks with 1 button.
However, I think that attempting to do raid alone or in pairs (2 people 5 boxing) would be pretty cool.

Funcom: WoW is McDonald's, AoC is steak {WoW}
Jun 26th 2008 3:37PM cjshrader - Yes, the first few months of WoW weren't pretty. I still remember opening day there was a bug where whenever you looted a new item that wasn't already in your bag you got stuck in the looting process for 5-10 minutes. It was funny seeing all these level 5s crouched by corpses everywhere you looked. But honestly I've also played MUCH worse releases. Vanguard is the first to come to mind ... even 2 months after release it still felt like you were playing a game that was in beta.
I have only spent about 1 hour playing Age of Conan, so my opinion isn't well formed, but I wasn't all that impressed. Even with that glaring bug I found WoW to be instantly enthralling.
Breakfast Topic: Is the game being dumbed down? {WoW}
Jun 24th 2008 8:57AM All MMOs go through this. The people who have been around since the beginning always find that the game has been made easier and easier and easier. I just recently came back to WoW after a long hiatus (I was in a hardcore raiding guild up until just before Naxx released) and it came as quite a shock as to how easy it's become to hit lvl 70, finish quests (thanks to the sparkles), and most of all, to get epics. Back when I hit 60 if you had 1 or 2 epics you were up on a good portion of the player base. Now if you don't have at least 1 or 2 epics people don't even want to run heroics with you.
It's a little upsetting to the hardcore raider in me, but the casual play style it allows for excites me at the same time. Sure some things have gotten easier, but there are still challenges throughout the game for those who want them.

The truth is PC gaming is struggling because they're putting out crap games and no one's going to pay $50 for some P.O.S. game when they can just pirate it. Same thing goes for the movie and music industry. If these jackasses would stop blaming their customers and put out a decent product they wouldn't have slow sales.
As for the console vs PC market, neither one is going anywhere and IMO it's silly to think otherwise. There's always going to be subsets of people who just prefer one over the other. I for one, will NEVER play an FPS/RTS on a console, at least not until they come up with a better control scheme and on the flip side of that you'll never catch me playing a sports/racing game on a PC.
Activision shareholders to vote on Activision-Blizzard merger {WoW}
Jun 10th 2008 8:27AM Is anyone else but me concerned over all these big game companies merging? Maybe I'm just overly anti-corporation, but I like the idea of many smaller companies serving us so that the games don't become diluted.
Like EA's recent attempts to buy out Take-Two (which worries me a lot more than Activision/Blizzard getting together). Haven't we as consumers learned that these mergers don't help us at all?

Numeric tool helps women determine their birthing preferences after cesareans
Research Activities, October 2009
A comparison of two computer-based decision tools shows that a graphic-numeric tool provided more consistent responses than a text-based tool in helping women determine if they were comfortable attempting a vaginal birth after cesarean, a new study finds. Using the tools, 96 women who underwent cesareans previously made a series of paired comparisons to determine how they viewed the importance of four decision criteria: avoiding harm to the baby, avoiding side effects for the mother, avoiding risk to future pregnancies, and having a good delivery experience. The tools were not designed to make a final decision for the patient but to help the woman understand her priorities for her next childbirth experience.
The graphic-numeric tool was a sliding bar that displayed a numeric value as women slid a bar between two decision criteria. Each woman slid the bar closest to the criterion that was more important to her or set the bar in the middle for two equally important criteria. The text-based tool had women choose between two criteria by selecting radio buttons with labels ranging from "equally important" to "extremely more important." Although both scales helped clarify the users' values, the women who used the graphic-numeric scale were more consistent in their answers.
Women placed the most priority on avoiding harm to their babies and the least priority on having a good delivery experience. The women using the graphic-numeric tool may have had more consistent answers because the tool translated text into a number and allowed them to show how they were leaning.
The authors suggest that women who used the text-based tool may have felt pressured to choose a certain radio button over another because they feared they would be judged unfavorably if they expressed any preference for the other criterion. These results may help researchers who design future decision aids for patients who are facing medical decisions, but who may be hesitant in sharing their preferences for fear of being judged. This study was funded in part by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (HS13959, HS15321, HS11338).

"Delicious!!! This is a great assembly meal. I prepped everything ahead of time and when I got home from work, I simply poured the sauce over the pasta and baked. I made a few changes. I used two tomatoes instead of four, along with a small can of sliced mushrooms. Since husband doesn't like feta cheese, I sprinkled some parmesan instead. Fin..."

"Delicious! I don't think I will be trying another meat loaf recipe. Not only was the sauce tasty...I loved the little pieces of bread. However, I cut them a little bigger and just loved how the sauce gushes out! I will definitely double the recipe next time. Thank you for sharing!"
"Delicious cake! Very moist and easy to make! Definitely a keeper! My daughter kept making yummy noises after every bite. Thanks for sharing!"
"Great bread! I had some very ripe bananas and pears to use up and this is a great and easy way to do so. I always carry all these ingredients. I did not, however, make two loaves of bread as I like a big mean loaf that bump up the pan!Definitely a keeper! Thank you for sharing!"
"Would you believe I couldn't find seasoning salt at the grocery store?! Once again, Zaar is to the rescue...This turned out to be a very good mix! This is cheaper and tastier than the ones in the grocery store. These are very common ingredients that I had in my pantry (except for tumeric - which I left out). I also cut the salt in half as sugg..."
"This was excellent and quick! What I love is tat these are very common ingredients. Although my baby was distracting me, I messed up on the layering and ended up mixing the relish with the meat and topping it with the sauce right from the start rather than at the last 15 minutes. So, after and hour, I flippled the loaf into a shallow dish and t..."

R/C flyer and builder for 25 years +. My planes vary. Some fast, others slow, scale and non. I pretty much enjoy flying anything with an engine. IMAAC I must admit has taught me the most and it is a lot of fun. Engine collecting is something else I really enjoy and it keeps me busy over the long winter months. Indoor flying I enjoy and of course it's a good way to learn. I like it better than a simulator. I look forward to meeting you at an event. Keep your wings level.

More than three long years in the making. The Duncan Magnetude, designed by robotics engineer Zachary Lytle, features magnetic spinning sides (think hub stack ish) and in the prototypes I have seen, a magnetic counterweight. Check out the video below to see the prototype in action.
Considering BAC is this weekend, I would guess that the Magnetude will make its retail appearance.

Do we have any certified accountants? Also I wonder what area of law the specialize in. Since lawyers are like doctors in that regard, but kinda worse. Hardly any family lawyers that would cover it all. Even beyond that, say we do have lawyers specializing in the areas of law that would apply to our legal needs. Would they really want to spend, days, weeks, months, years working on a trial if we are faced with some sort of legal action? All for no pay, and travel likely required. What happens if a trial starts and board changes over? What if we lose one or both of our lawyers? > I would still rather know that > certain things, eg accounts and filings, were in the hands of someone who was > contractually obliged to carry those out. Beyond contractual obligation. There is legal responsibility and liability. Accountants take on the same responsibility and liability in filing returns for their clients. Would our board of trustees really want to be individually liable and putting their name on a return or other legal filing? Which if done improperly could come back on the signing individual. What happens during an audit? Would past board members return. Or want to be liable for years beyond their terms. I think it's kinda naive and unrealistic long term to continue to do these things in house. More so when we can get the needed services externally for next to nothing. Either way, decisions still have to be made, and the board will still have to do that. It's just the final action, and liability that will be passed on. Also IMHO makes changing of the guard much easier. Not to mention allows focus on other areas of the foundations mission. -- William L. Thomson Jr. Gentoo/amd64/Java

List Price: $34.99Publisher: Schiffer Publishing, LimitedBinding: HardcoverPages: 160Size: 8.50" wide x 11.25" long x 0.75" tall Weight: 2.486Language: English
With a fascinating variety of American Indian rings from the southwestern United States shown in more than 350 color photos, this book provides a design history of these rings, beginning with pre-contact artifacts and continuing through to contemporary artistic innovations. The text surveys key developments in Native American ring design; materials and methods of construction; definitions for historical and vintage rings; master innovators; and the transition from craft to wearable art since 1980. Shortly after the Civil War, Native American artisans began making silver rings set with turquoise, coral, jet, mother-of-pearl, and colored shell, adding lapis, malachite, onyx, and petrified wood over the decades. More recently, artisans began utilizing gold and such non-traditional settings as opals and diamonds, among others. Works by Navajo (also known as Diné) and Pueblo artists are featured, although Apache, Northern Cheyenne, and Sonoran Desert Native jewelers are also included. A guide to valuation issues and resources is offered for collectors.

Science News Digest - 7th May 2013
In the news this week… scientists unlock the secrets of why human hair greys with age, new researchers uncovers unusual ways plants might be communicating with each other, the first gun produced using a 3D printer is successfully fired in the United States, and finally... a potential new cure for baldness, that's not for the squeamish!
How scientists may be able to reverse greying hair
A team of experts, including scientists from Bradford University, may have uncovered the reason that hair turns grey as we get older. The discovery, published in the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology (FASEB) Journal, was actually made whilst scientists were studying the skin disease, vitiligo. The condition, which pop star Michael Jackson claimed to suffer from, causes sufferers to lose inherited skin and hair colour.
The study found that a build-up of hydrogen peroxide inside the hair follicle, caused hair to bleach itself, and lose its natural colour. This mechanism came to light, when an international cohort of patients suffering from vitiligo were treated with a pseudocatalase compound, activated via sunlight. Researchers noted that pigment of their skin and eyelashes return, and has led to the theory that loss of hair colour could be reversed by the application of antioxidant compounds.
Gerald Weissman, editor-in-chief of the FASEB Journal, spoke to the Daily Telegraph.
"While this is exciting news, what's even more exciting is that this also works for vitiligo. This condition, while technically cosmetic, can have serious socio-emotional effects on people. Developing an effective treatment for this condition has the potential to radically improve many people's lives.", he said.
Forget talking to your plants – they can talk to each other!
Scientists from the University of Western Australia have been studying how seedling growth is affected by neighbouring plants. The study, which focused on chilli plants, showed that seedlings put next to so-called 'friendly' plants, grew stronger, although being planted next to other crops such as fennel, could hinder their development.
The 'neighbour' plants tested were already known to have positive or negative impacts on neighbouring plants due to chemical emissions. For example, fennel is known to give off chemicals that stunt the growth of rival plants, in contrast, basil tends to have a positive impact on neighbouring plants as it emits natural insecticides and repels weeds.
However, it seems that these chemicals may be only part of the story. The study was set up to block all known means of communication between plants, including chemical signals and physical contact. The chilli seedlings were placed in isolated dishes around a central 'neighbour' plant, which was sealed in a cylindrical box, covered in black plastic. The sealed box blocked all airborne chemical signals, as well as all wavelengths of light.
And yet, even when basil plants were sealed off, seeds still germinated as though they could communicate with the basil, more effectively than in isolation. A similar result was seen for fennel – even when chilli seeds were protected from the chemicals release, they did not germinate well, when placed near a fennel plant.
The mechanism by which these neighbourly interactions might be taking place, is as yet, unidentified, although the team believe that the answer may involve acoustic signals, generated by microscopic oscillations inside the cells of the plants.
The findings are published online in the journal BMC Ecology, and discussed on Science Daily.
3D guns you can print at home
3D printing has been hailed by some as the future of the manufacturing industry. Whereas traditional printers can replicate 2D designs using ink, 3D printers build up layers of plastic, to build a solid object. Supporters suggest that in the future, consumers may find that it is cheaper to download templates for everything from toys to shoes, and produce goods at home, than to buy them.
Although still relatively new, the technology has raised some interesting dilemmas already, and this week has seen the first gun made using a 3D printer, successfully fired.
The gun, which was produced in the United States, contains only one metal component, the firing pin. This has caused significant concern, as the gun would not be sensed by metal detectors, feasibly making it much easier to move the weapons on-board aircraft.
The BBC describes how Senators have already called for a ban on guns produced by 3D printers, under the Undetectable Firearms Act, although the producers "Defense Distributed" have acted lawfully, and there is currently nothing to stop them making the blueprint publically available. The US Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) granted a license which permits Defense Distributed to manufacture and sell firearms. A spokesperson from ATF, told the BBC that it would be legal in the United States, for people to manufacture firearms for their own use, as long as it did not contravene the National Firearms Act (for example, automatic weapons), and producers would only be required to apply for a licence if they were producing guns that would be sold on.
Given the current debate about whether more, or fewer guns would make America safe, this new technology adds a new dimension to the argument.
And finally…
'Vampire' cure for baldness
More hair-related good news – a new technique dubbed "vampire" treatment, may offer a cure for bald patches. Researchers based at the University of Brescia in Italy, and the Hebrew University Medical Centre in Israel, are investigating the process by which blood is taken from a patient, and processed to extract "platelet-rich plasma" (PRP). This plasma is then injected in to the head, and scientists believe that the solution stimulates new stem cells to form beneath the skin, and promotes hair growth.
The findings, published in the British Journal of Dermatology, were based on a study of people suffering from alopecia areata, who received PRP injections on half their head. Medical News Today describes how results showed significant hair growth, compared to placebo, and to more traditional steroid treatments. The researchers are now keen to develop a topical application, to avoid the need for needles, and also believe there may be implications for more common types of baldness, such as male-pattern baldness.
