At least four former professional cyclists are out of a job after their names surfaced on a list of EPO positives from the 1998 Tour de France released Wednesday. While the French Senate report promised no rider would face disciplinary action from the testing, the result has been a bit different.
The first athlete to lose his job was Laurent Jalabert, who retired at the end of the 2002 season to work as a pundit for two French television stations. As news leaked ahead of the Tour about his inclusion on the list, he stepped down from both of those roles.
In addition to Jalabert, the sport director of newly minted Belkin Pro Cycling, Jeroen Blijlevens, has left the squad. "The reason for this decision is Jeroen Blijlevens' admission of doping made today during a meeting with management following the publication of the French Senate's report," the team's statement said.
Blijlevens won four Tour stages between 1995 and 1998 and signed a document earlier this year stating he had never doped. In an open letter, he explained his decision to dope. "Our team was looking for a new sponsor. I decided to use EPO for the first time during the Tour in 1997."
The technical director of the Vuelta a Espana and former winner of the race Abraham Olano was also released from his job Thursday. "I am very hurt," he told the Spanish daily AS. "I understand that ASO [the owner of the Tour de France and a stakeholder int he Vuelta] is a large part French, because if not, I wouldn't be able to understand any of this. I have to study my case with my lawyers … but the damage is done, and it would be hard to go back."
The latest rider to face repercussions over the 1998 testing is Stuart O'Grady, who retired this year after the Tour de France. His name appeared on the suspicious list from the race, leading him to admit to doping that year. The Australian Olympic committee terminated O'Grady's membership in the body after he refused to voluntarily resign. The body went on to state that he will not be remembered as a "fantastic competitor" but as an "athlete who succumbed to the temptation of drugs in sport just to get an edge on some of his fellow riders."
WATCH: Rider Hits 80 MPH on Bike
With 104-tooth chainring
A custom-built frame, 104-tooth chainring, and a classic car helped British cyclist Ton Donhou hit 80 miles per hour in a speed attempt in the U.K.
Donhou, a bike frame builder, said he got the inspiration for the project from the automobile speed records of the 1960s, set with rocket-propelled cars on the Bonneville Salt Flats. Unlike current world record holder Fred Rompelberg, who drafted a drag racer to 167 miles per hour at Bonneville in 1995, Donhou set his record on an airport runway behind his own car, a Ford Zephyr equipped with a fairing, to displace the air in front of him.

Turkey Clears Kestrel of Spying For Israel
Returns home a hero
A kestrel detained by Turkish villagers on suspicion of being a non-human Israeli spy has been cleared of any wrongdoing and released back into the wild.
Residents in the village of Altinavya discovered the bird with a metal ring around its leg, stamped with the words "24311 Tel Avivunia Israel." Fearing the bird could be a spy, they turned the kestrel over to local authorities. Medical personnel at Elazig's Firat University initially identified the bird as an "Israeli Spy" in their registration documents. However, a series of intensive medical examinations and x-rays determined that the bird posed no threat to the country. As it turns out, metal bands, such as the one the kestrel was wearing, are used to track bird migrations in the region.
Use of non-human spies has been a source of great concern in the region over the past few years. In May of 2012, Turkish authorities dissected a European bee-eater fearing that it could be carrying a listening device and last December, Sudanese authorities accused a captured eagle wearing a similar tag on its leg of being a spy for the Mossad, Israel's secretive intelligence organization.
None of the birds were found guilty.

Global Warming Wiping Out Seafood
Oysters and lobsters affected
In the news this week, we saw several stories that sketched a grim prognosis for our favorite edible sea creatures. Baby oysters are under immediate threat from the rapidly acidifying oceans, according to Forbes, and in an article from Mother Jones, we learned that warming waters have driven lobsters to cannibalism.
If you live on the east coast, you're probably well aware that a glut of lobsters has dropped prices through the floor. It has also, unfortunately, driven lobsters to the unthinkable.
Warming waters can cause lobsters to grow larger and produce more offspring, and the last decade has been the warmest on record in the Gulf of Maine. That, combined with overfishing of lobster predators and an excess of bait left in lobster traps (see info box below), has driven the Maine lobster harvest to thoroughly smash records that stretch back to 1880. One of the side effects of this boom, Oppenheim says, is cannibalism: There are countless lobsters down there with nothing much to eat them and not much for them to eat, besides each other.
Noah Oppenheim, a graduate student in marine biology at the University of Maine, produced the video below, showing the unhappy result.

Daniel Craig, Harrison Ford, and Olivia Wilde at Cowboys and Aliens Comic-Con Premiere
Daniel Craig, Harrison Ford, and Olivia Wilde Ride Into Comic-Con With Their Cowboys and Aliens
Harrison Ford stepped out with his lovely wife, Calista Flockhart, for last night's San Diego premiere of Cowboys and Aliens. Newlywed Daniel Craig arrived solo as did his stunning costar Olivia Wilde in a floor-length, lace Dolce & Gabbana gown. Their sci-fi Western was a big draw at WonderCon this Spring, and it's no surprise director Jon Favreau picked Comic-Con as the perfect location for the film's world premiere. Thousands of fans turned out for the screening including a few Hollywood stars like Ron Howard, Nina Dobrev, and Seth Green. The red carpet affair caps off an exciting week for Daniel. His live-action animated project The Adventures of Tintin earned tons of buzz during a Comic-Con panel while another one of his projects, Dream House, released its first full-length trailer. The haunting thriller brought Daniel and Rachel Weisz together, but we'll have to wait until the Sept. 30 release to see if their real-life chemistry translates to the big screen.

Lenovo ThinkPad x130e
On top of portability and performance, durability is a must when it comes to back-to-school laptops. That was Lenovo's line of thinking, at least, when it launched its ThinkPad x130e laptop, a PC that's fast enough to be enterprise-ready but "ruggedized" enough to be classroom-ready too.
The laptop boasts a top cover rubber bumper for better shock absorption, recessed ports and a 1.2-mm-thick bezel frame to protect the LED screen. The x130e's corners are also 33 percent stronger compared to traditional ThinkPads, meaning less damage when dropped. It's available for $483 on Amazon.com.

UofU Patient December 16, 2014very good
UofU Patient November 16, 2014I sincerely like Dr. CUNNIFF.
UofU Patient November 09, 2014My problems are not something this physician specializes in; however, he did do a good job in letting me know what I would need to get into their rheumatology clinic.
UofU Patient November 08, 2014Dr. was exceptionally thorough in explanations of x-rays and future MRI. He was very pleasant and didn't hurry with information on my condition. He instilled confidence concerning future expected treatments. I would recommend him unconditionally if you want superior care from a very experienced and caring professional.
UofU Patient October 23, 2014Dr. Cuniff gaves me the confidence I needed to move forward. He did it in a very natural way - not aloof or in a hurry.
UofU Patient October 22, 2014Very detailed discussion with the Intern. Doctor followed up with specifics about remedies.
UofU Patient October 20, 2014Dr. Cunniff was awesome. I am a nurse and I have specific expectations of care and he met and exceeded all of them. I felt he really understood my issue and gave me confidence that he would do everything he could to help me with it. I felt I could trust him- he was very knowledgeable and helped me get the answers I was seeking. I was really impressed and I've already told many people about him. I would recommend him to anyone!
UofU Patient October 19, 2014all good
UofU Patient October 13, 2014Dr. Cunniff was a model of empathy & professionalism. I have already told several friends with orthopedic issues to schedule an appointment with Dr. Cunniff.
UofU Patient October 10, 2014Dr. Cunniff is an amazing doctor. He took the extra time to explain my condition and made sure all of my questions were answered. I really appreciate all he has done for me.
UofU Patient October 03, 2014Dr. Cunniff is the 1st doctor in 11 years of getting pills throw at me to curb the pain, that actual taken the time to provide other long term remedies that work.
UofU Patient September 29, 2014I am extremely happy with Dr. Cunniff and his staff
UofU Patient September 29, 2014The doctor didn't even bother to sit down and was ready to leave as soon as he came in. Also felt that not enough details were examined before being told about doing yoga regularly, no idea what kind either, was just a wasted visit, time effort and money.
UofU Patient September 19, 2014Dr. Cunniff was genuinely concerned with the pain I was suffering from and was eager to find a way to alleviate that suffering.
UofU Patient September 18, 2014all good
UofU Patient September 12, 2014This was the worst visit I have EVER had! Bedside manner of the dr was horrible and he made me feel like my problem was minimal. I went there looking for answers and got nothing but attitude and degraded
UofU Patient September 05, 2014Reassuring. I Felt confidence in him.
UofU Patient August 26, 2014I left with the same ailments that I came with. I waited a month to be seen and all I get was that they cannot figure out what is wrong with me and to have a nice day.
UofU Patient August 13, 2014He explained what was wrong. I just left feeling like I had no idea what to do about it. He just said there were things that could be done even though the condition couldn't be solved. He didn't go into detail about what I could do.
UofU Patient July 29, 2014Dr. Cuniff clearly is a doctor who cares, who listens well, and who communicates clearly. He seemed willing to take as much time as I needed/wanted for questions/explanations. I give him my hiighest recommendation.
UofU Patient July 25, 2014good
UofU Patient July 16, 2014Any questions I had were answered, with a model of spine & explain tion of next procedure.
UofU Patient July 01, 2014my experience with Dr. Cunniff is excellent. He is very attentive in listening to me and treats me with respect and concern
UofU Patient June 23, 2014Dr. Cunniff is very professional, kind and experienced. I was very pleased with his attention to details and the way he explained my condition, the cause of the pain and the modalities of treatment options.
UofU Patient June 16, 2014Excellent care
UofU Patient May 27, 2014Dr . Cunniff is a great doctor!!
UofU Patient May 06, 2014doctor seemed good. communications very poor between receptionist and doctor
UofU Patient April 22, 2014he acted like it was my fault he was late
UofU Patient April 20, 2014I was very impressed by Dr. Cunniff's professionalism. He presented himself to be very knowledgeable and trustworthy. He seemed concerned about my problems and eager to help me find a solution. I feel very confident going forward under his care.
UofU Patient April 19, 2014at first i was a little scared but after talking to the doctor he said i have a better than good chance i will be okay
UofU Patient April 13, 2014I don't plan on visiting with Dr. Cunniff again. He didn't seem like he cared at all that I was there. It was like I was in the way or interrupting something more important. He spend more time talking with the intern in medical talk about things I may or may not have without communicating to me in a way I could understand. I felt very uncomfortable with him. I didn't feel like he wanted to help me, more like it was something he had to do before he went home. I will not be returning to him and I will discourage others from seeing him.
UofU Patient April 10, 2014I very much appreciated 2 things: 1) Since my current problem is related to a former condition, I liked that what I had to say about the former condition was taken seriously and not dismissed. 2) I liked being able to look at the x-rays taken during my visit while the doctor explained what he saw in them.
UofU Patient March 25, 2014Dr. Cunniff is an OUTSTANDING physician. I am so pleased that he is working on the condition of my left leg, foot, toes, thigh and lower back. His professionalism is SUPERB. His knowledge of the material and ability to solve problems is very welcome to me. My primary care physician "missed" and/or did not act or respond to my conditions. Dr. Cunniff quickly diagnosed the problems I have been having since an automobile accident in December 2013. He prescribed an investigation and positive treatment plan and has already acted on his plan.
UofU Patient March 17, 2014felt rushed unheard about pain levels and medications for pain.
UofU Patient March 17, 2014very good
UofU Patient March 11, 2014I'm very impressed with Dr Cunniff
UofU Patient February 24, 2014All good
UofU Patient February 19, 2014Dr. Cunniff is by far has treated me with courtesy and caring and has provided me with the the best orthopedic diagnosis and treatment of the 5-6 other doctors I have conferred with regarding my existing problems. Truly a gem for a great orthopedic center.
UofU Patient February 08, 2014felt as if I was completely dished by Dr - either tell me tough, live with it not to try something that I had been doing for over 10 yrs and provided no relief (but something I was not currently doing)
UofU Patient January 25, 2014He always answers my ? but does sometimes seem like he is too busy
UofU Patient January 24, 2014Definitely will recommend this place and Dr to everyone.
UofU Patient January 13, 2014The consummate professional. Mature, competent, open, direct.
UofU Patient December 16, 2013I have seen doctors regarding my condition in other networks and states. One of the most important characteristics that is difficult to find consistently in care providers is the ability to listen. To really listen and hear what the patient is saying/explaining.
UofU Patient December 11, 2013provided clear plan for recovery
UofU Patient December 10, 2013Dr. Cunniff shows concern and empathy.
UofU Patient November 22, 2013Dr. Cunniff appeared very concerned about my care and outcome. He spent time with me looking at my MRI and addressed all my concerns regarding its results.
UofU Patient November 18, 2013I have been sick for 2 years and a back injury for a year and a half, since an Afghanistan military deployment. After being treated by the VA and getting no diagnosis, I have turned to the U of U. The U Of U has given me two diagnosis'. thank you! I hope to be able to continue my care with you.
UofU Patient November 18, 2013I tried to be as informed as possible at the follow up appointment to ensure I knew I was making the best decision for myself. I was sorely disappointed in the care I recieved from the care provider. He was unwililng to answer my questions and explain why he wanted to pursue to course of treatment. He did not follow up in a timely manner and was defensive about my questions and said, "I was a chiropractor before I became a dr. I know that won't help." There were less invasive options and it seemed like all he wanted to do was shoot me with steroids and send me on my way without treating the source of inflammation. He was rude and not willing to listen to my concerns, i would absolutely never see him again, or recommend him to anybody else.
UofU Patient October 28, 2013I have been pleased with my care and Dr. Cunniff.
UofU Patient October 07, 2013I have had good care from Dr. Cunniff. He has helped me a great deal. He is always in a hurry and I sometimes wish he could spend more time with me but for the most he does a very good job.
UofU Patient October 02, 2013Very good
UofU Patient October 01, 2013the Dr. was great. I just wish I had more time with him.
UofU Patient September 25, 2013I waited for far too long, then when he finally made the trip in, he spent maybe 5-7 minutes and administered the same test within 1-2 minutes.
UofU Patient September 21, 2013Dr. Cunniff is a very caring, skilled physician who has helped me greatly.
UofU Patient September 03, 2013I consider him an amazing doctor with such a personable manner on top of superior knowledge and expertise!
UofU Patient August 23, 2013the entire staff eased my anxity of having a "needle" in my back, cattering to a baby, me. Thanks
UofU Patient August 20, 2013I was exceedingly happy with meeting and working with Dr. Cunniff.
UofU Patient August 05, 2013I told the doctor that I had stopped taking my sleeping medication and he acted upset and suspicious that I was taking it. He asked if I got that from another doctor because he does not recommend taking that with the pain medication. I told him my PCP's name again, but this medication has been listed in EPIC since I began seeing him. I am a little concerned about that.
UofU Patient August 05, 2013excellent provider in every way - competent, friendly, inspires confidence
UofU Patient May 01, 2013Highest praise for Dr. Joseph Cunniff. He was fully explanatory about my situation, had excellent eye contact, was very complete in his demonstration of my medical needs now and in the near future. He answered all questions in full and with complete attention given to me. I did not feel hurried, only cared for.
UofU Patient April 26, 2013have had injections by other doctor but never with the the degree of relife i've got with dr. cunniff.

Decisions are SO hard...what would you do?
I am so torn as to what might be best for us (78 and 68 yrs old)...and would like your thoughts.
We have the opportunity to buy a house, built in 1991 and remodeled in 2006... that is appraised for $119,000 for $77,000..but would have to build a double garage, since they turned the one originally on the house to a master bedroom, bath, and closet....so that would be approx. $30,000. This home sits on the exact piece of ground that grew up all of my younger days...so it tugs at my heart strings to remember all of the time I spent on that ground.
But this is in a VERY small town (about 850 people) and has only a Casey's convience store and a clinic with a practitioner. This house is very convienent for older people...1/2 block from school events, 1/2 block from the church, 1 block to city library, 1 1/2 blocks to bank and post office and Sr. Center....and no stress of building.
We do have a piece of ground in the same county but 24 miles away....approx. 3,000 people, with doctors, hospital, country club, golf course, grocery store, fast food, etc.......but the cost of building will be well over $100,000 more than we can buy the house in the smaller town. With the difference in price, we could buy a small rv and do some traveling and maybe go south in the winter.
My DH says, it is up to me....it makes him no real difference. He is an architect/contractor before his retirement, so building is no stress for him. I have done it 3 times and swore never again....
I would appreciate it if you could put yourself in my shoes, and tell me what your thoughts are.......cheaper house vs. more conviences.
Well, as detailed as you were, you left a lot out of your story--most importantly, where are you living now and what makes you want to move at all.
My other questions are:
1. Will you be paying cash for your next home (whether you buy or build)or will you have to worry about financing?
2. Buying a new home vs buying an RV and traveling are two drastically different choices with two completely different lifestyles. You may want to figure which of the two lives you want to live before going any further. Which appeals to you more and why?
3. If you just want to be a snowbird, though, you may also consider keeping a townhome/condo in two locations (one north and one south). Is there a reason this wouldn't work out?
Money isn't your only consideration. I'm sure you're also thinking about time...most retired people, including my own Grandparents, are more concerned right now about time (time together, time left, etc.) than anything.
I bring this up because building a house may not be in your best interest. Number one being, you swore you'd never do it again, which means you do not particularly enjoy the process. And two, every month you spend waiting for your new house to be built is a month you can't spend doing other pleasurable activities in your hopefully enjoyable retirement.
So, it's not all about $$$.
I would go with the small town, personal ties and opportunity to visit (within 20 mins. after all) the larger town whenever you like. At your (and mine) age some things are very important, like access to doctors, etc., but I don't imagine the "hospital" in a place of 3,000 people is going to be all that more comprehensive than a practitioner on hand, and the outings for fast food (do you really care that much :-) can be just that, whereas what do you do for fun if already on site?! Keep your money and use it for the RV, or whatever else you want.
Alot depends on your health. Would you have to go to have medical work very much? If you cannot drive, who would? Do you have good insurance to pay for ambulances, specialists etc and be able to get to them? If you have not lived there for a while, would you be able to make new friends, church? hobbies? yard work?
I would choose a larger city, but if you have good/fair weather most of the time, put in a double wide modulure home but you can get a regular home built for much less or have a home moved in--they do that all the time here.
You might list the pros and cons and another thing, do you have children to visit you, or help you out? If not, please do not rely on friends and neighbors all the time.
Are their any assited living homes in the larger city?
Good luck
Thanks for your responses....and I'll try to answer some of your questions.
1. The reason we are moving....to make a long story short...my husband's son "helped himself" to all of the funds of the company...DH kept cashing stocks to cover for the bills (never questioning) and now he has nothing left!
So our 4,000 SF house is more than we need and, although it is paid for, our taxes here in this town have tripled during the last 5 years and only will keep going up terribly...due to the misconduct of our last city manager and commission.....so we don't need that much room and can't afford it anymore. So in our financial position we could not afford to maintain two residences.....but might be able to rent something south for a month or so to get out of these cold/snowy- winters!!
If we buy the home in a smaller town, I have some personal money (from my previous marriage) that I could pay cash for it.....but if we build, we must sell this house first...and that is a slim chance in this deflated market of this town. If we build, we will have to move to a rental....store our things...than move again into the new house....lots of stress on my emotions and my arthritis!!!
Right now our health is pretty good....DH is excellent...and I have extreme arthritis, had fusions,TKR and THR and will need back surgery before long. My surgeon and specialist are actually a few miles closer to the small town, but not a significant amount....there is no surgeon that does this type of surgery in the "larger town" either.
With our ages, we don't know how much longer we will be able to do any traveling...and building would take about a year out of our retirement time. If we get a RV, it will be a small one just to travel some...not to stay in for a period of time....something we both can drive easily.
The lot we have in the "larger" town, is in a HOA and we can not put a modular house there...must be stick built.
Our lot is about an acre...the ready built is on a very small lot...so DH could keep it mowed...hire the acre mowed.
We are thankful to have my children close...one is about 70 miles...one 60 miles and my son is going to move to the "larger" town if he can get his house sold where he is living now....but even that is only 18 miles away from the smaller town. (since the sour business ordeal, there is hardly any contact with his son's family....so no loss there)
We have Medicare and a supplemental insurance...but who knows what our medical insurance condition might be in a few years~~There is a Sr. complex in both towns...larger one does have a nursing home. We do carry extended health care...hoping it should cover a NH if we ever need it...and certainly hope not~
I hope I have covered all questions...but do keep your thoughts coming...they really help...thanks.
First of all, I am so very sorry to hear about the situation with your husband's son. Those type of things are terrible and I'm really sorry you had to go through both the financial and emotional pain.
Secondly, to ME, it sounds like you have already made the decision in your head to purchase the home in the smaller town that is already built. It does sound like a very good deal and you do have an emotional tie to it.
It also sounds like you really, really don't want to build a house. Don't do it. You don't sound like you're eager to build at all, not to mention the hassle, aggravation, and time spent waiting for it to be built. You and your husband have other things to be doing while waiting for a house to be built. And you are wise not to build if it means you *must* sell your current house. This is not a good market to be in a jam on selling a house.
And do keep in mind that you don't *need* a double car garage, if you would like to spend the money on other things instead. A carport would cover the cars, meaning no snow removal (if there is snow). There is no unspoken law that you must have a garage. We don't have one and it doesn't bother me too much, unless it snows about 2', then it's not so good.
Do make sure that you will be able to access any health and community services in your small town.
Keep us updated on your thoughts and what you end up doing.
Maybe neither of your ideas are good ideas. Have you considered buying a house or moving into senior housing in a town closer to one of your children? A town that is larger and would have better medical care?
It doesn't sound like building is a good idea except it would get you into a slightly larger town with a hospital. Is there a house you could buy there?
I don't think either of us are ready for senior housing just yet.
The town should we build has extremely lower tax rate (less than half of where we live now)and it is half way between all of my family and friends....about 18 miles one way and 24 the other.
The ready built one is on the exact ground where I grew up and lived all of my younger years....two brothes and wives are there...lots of friends etc. We have looked at some other houses in the "larger" town, but amazinginly, the home prices there have kept their value and DH thinks we can build one to fit our needs cheaper than any newer ones we have looked at. The older ones do not have wide enough doors, etc. should I need to use a walker or some other device.
Keep ideas and thoughts coming. Thanks
I would not want the stress of trying to sell your home, finding building plans and a builder, and moving into an apt and then into your new home.
If it were me, I'd buy the $77,000 home, put the big house on the market and sell it. When it sold, I'd add on the garage if you still want it, buy your RV and travel in the south during the winter. I'd put the rest of the money from your house sale in the bank and enjoy it.
I would buy the less expensive house in the area you love. I wouldn't put myself thru building a home or buying one that exceeds just what I need. Although younger, we have have been scaling back recently and are very happy with our decisions.
We sold a commercial property that we no longer had time to deal with. We sold our "big" house & close on it tomorrow. We kept our lake house & our commercial property where we have a business and a newly renovated loft apartment & will split time between those. We owe nothing on either one & our cars are paid off too.
I'm learning there is really something to be said for "enough". We have more than enough, even with this major downsize, and it's made me so happy to clean out cabinets & closets & donate some great stuff to some people in need. I don't feel deprived at all - I've got a small house on a small lake with a beautiful view & a big city dwelling for a complete change of pace.
I know you'll make the right decision for yourself & DH. I'm hoping you go with your childhood home. I also think being able to travel would be another selling point for me. Heck it's been 103 - 106 degrees for a week here - an RV to Vermont or somewhere North would be Heaven! Best of luck to you!
To caulk king and the rest.....I certainly do appreciate all of your thoughts and well wishes....we get to see the inside of the "little house" tomorrow and hope we like it as well as we do the outside.
I know what you mean about this heat.....here in Kansas we are in a furnace....over 100 every day....hotter next week...eventhough we do have a sprinkler system, the grass has turned from a beautiful green to kinda brown....no faucet water beats good old mother nature.
I'll keep you posted.
Your description of the built house and all your family so close makes it a no brainer to me. Get the one that places you among your family and friends. That is the most important in quality of life to me.
We are your age, and our kids have moved away for their jobs. Two live an hour plus away, close together in a metropolitan area that is crowded and expensive and close to my brother. The other child lives on the other coast. It is the love and comfort of family that I look forward to, and you have an ideal situation in the ready built. Jump at that chance to buy it before someone else does!
We did go to the "small town" today and see the inside of the ready built house. It is WELL worn for a house that was supposed to be remodeled in 2006....but she had a day care there, and it shows. But my DH says it has real potential....and since he is a retired architect/contractor, right now he is busy drawing everything to scale to see how our furniture etc. will fit...also figuring out the costs of the up-dating we will need to do. I am wondering if this was a forclosure...they left lots of things (toaster, silverware, food, bathroom stuff etc.) in the house...like they left in a hurry. They turned off the electricity and therefore the sump pump isn't working, so there is water standing in the crawl space and the house really smells moldy....it has been shut up for several months.
In addition to a garage, we would gut the kitchen and dining room, move a wall, put in new cabinets, counter top, flooring, etc. The carpets are so dirty, no amount of shampooing would clean them...so they will all have to be replaced, etc......so we'll weigh the pros and cons of building vs. remodeling....and hope we can come up with the best solution to our problem. It certainly would have made our lives a lot easier if his DS hadn't pulled his "stunt". THANKS again for all of your thoughts and well wishes.
Sometimes when you can't decide between two options it's because neither one is The Right One.
I don't like the sound of the house standing vacant but with FOOD still in it (?) and smelling moldy. Gosh, IMO remodeling is worse to live through than building. You never know what you're going to encounter; it has a way of snowballing.
My DH and I are near your ages. We built one-floor living ten years ago and are happy here, but...I wouldn't go through that again now, and I do not have severe arthritis like you do. (I'm sure you know what *stress* does to one's physical condition!)
I wouldn't be so fast to reject senior housing. IS there any near you? Have you looked into the option? Any 'Del Webb' type communities close to you? I know that in some situations you can 'move in and try it on'. That could work while you wait for your present home to sell. Friends of ours love their NEW, small, single family home in a senior development. Since they moved in her health has actually improved. Although he (somewhat older) always had excellent health, he's now had two medical 'surprises'.
I'd look for new, small, and 'leave-able' so that you can winter somewhere warm without worry.
Chisue, I agree with your first statements. The smell of mold, food left over, and standing water is a very, very ominous sign. Smelling mold in a house you might be buying is a definitely show stopper, at least for me.
If you're going to be doing so much to the house, you might as well just get a new house! You'll probably be remodeling and fixing things up just as long. I also agree with Chisue choices are difficult because the good option is not currently in front of you. I saw that you live in Kansas, so housing should be fairly reasonably priced where you live, which really opens up your options.
I would stay away from this house. The last thing you need to be dealing with when you're 68 and 78 is mold abaitment and containment and gutting and remodeling!
Although, Chisue, I don't agree that older people necessarily like warmer weather...I've never understood what is so much more appealing about 97 degrees with 98 percent humidity for 6 months than temperatures in the 20's and 30's for 3 months. I just don't get it! My Grandma and most of the older individuals my family never really wanted to retire where it was hot, they said it was just as aggravating and taxing when it was so hot all the time as when it was cold.
krycek -- The OP said she wanted to be able to escape the snow and cold in Kansas and go south in the winter. That sounds good, although the RV part doesn't make sense at all to me.
We have gone to Hawaii in February for over 20 years. It breaks up the long days of winter in Chicagoland where the sunless grey sky seems to want to press you right into the snow and slush.
Haven't done anything yet....but did find it is a foreclosure and it is a short sale. I think that perhaps the moldy smell might be because the sump pump has been shut off for several months....they probably left town in a hurry and might have left an electric bill also...so it was turned off.
Although while we were "supply shopping" yesterday, we ran into a couple from the same little town, and they told us of a new home just being completed there (although not the same convenient location where we could walk to everything)....1540 SF, 3 bed, 2 bath, unfinished basement, double garage.... which seemed to be reasonably priced ,so after we get all of the bids for building on our lot in the larger city, we might go see that house and leave the short sale alone.....BUT the kicker is that to be able to buy the new build house, we will have to sell our present one first....because you know the mess DH's son left us in financially. I just can't put that amount of money into a house by myself...and DH can not help.....thus, the problem!!!!....none of my making....but something I seem to have "inherited" when I married into this family...oh hindsight.
What if you got a contract on your present house tomorrow, contingent on fast possession? Where will you go? Is there anything to rent? How much of what's in your house will you want to store and how much can be sold or given to a charity?
Do you have a long range plan? I don't want to build a new house again. I don't want to remodel a house again. I don't want to MOVE more than one more time in my life either. In your position, I'd be looking at my needs 10 -15 years from now. I'd be looking at senior housing options, not at building a house or remodeling one. Are there any good options near you?
The short sale/foreclosure might not be that bad. I think your spouse has the right idea about it. So it smells like old food and mold and has bad carpets and food is left in the house. This is mainly cleanup stuff and cosmetic, most likely . This probably can be fixed for a reasonable price...you can hire someone to clean out the stinky food and do overall cleanup.
Also all foreclosures/short sales are not automatically a long, drawn out process as far as offer/acceptance and closing. This can vary greatly. I would look into this house further.
Don't run just because is smells moldy. Maybe it is mildew that you smell? Maybe the place just needs to be aired out due to everything stuck inside during the summer with no windows open and no AC or air circulation. Also realize there are many different types of mold and mildew and there are only 1 or a few types of mold that are the bad mold you hear about. There are companies that can do a mold check for you. ServPro is a national franchise that is in most cities. They also do cleanout. You can hire them to see what is going on with the mold..or a bunch of other companies that inspect for mold. I bet it is not as bad as it seems. The cleaning, cosmetic and the aroma will likely scare away many buyers and you probably can get a real, real good deal on the place. If you don't grab this opportunity, an investor will likely get the place for a song and dance and you will regret it later. Don't go run and buy something new and outside your price range just because you smelled stinky food and saw dirty carpets and smelled a stale house. You need to look past this and see the potential, just like your spouse sees the potential.

Don't run just because is smells moldy.
I heartily agree, too many people instantly say run, but then again, you may not have a problem and you may be looking at a diamond in the rough.
As suggested, get an expert opinion on the "mold" before you run. The other stuff is simple to resolve.
My DH does see this little house as a "diamond in the rough"...and if we do make an offer, we would stipulate in the contract to have it inspected for mold and if found, the contract would be voided.
He has been an architect and contractor for over 55 years and has a pretty good head when evaluating homes. I think the former owners probably went in over their heads doing remodeling and he might have lost his job and couldn't make the payments. The worse thing they did was make the garage into a master suite, but to get to it, you have go to through another bedroom...and we would need to figure out a way to cut in another door somewhere to be able to get to the master bedroom and use that bathroom as a "Jack and Jill" bathroom. But then it is only the two of us and we do not have over-night guests all that much...the kids are all within a hour drive so usually don't spent the night.
We have gone pricing new cabinets, counter tops, wood flooring, carpeting, etc. and although we would want to build a double garage, we could do all of the remodeling and garage for about $32,000...and if we bought it for $75-77,000, it still would not make it an expensive home..... I hope that I am not attaching too much emotion to the "land" because as I said before, it is on the exact ground that I grew up on.
We continue to get bids for the new build in the larger city...and will probably go look at the new build in the small city, which is only $135,000, but from taking to the builder on the phone, I can already tell it has somethings that I would wish were changed.
Nothing is off of the table yet....NOR has this house sold...and should we need to move quickly if it were, (wishful thinking), we will have an auction or tag sale and get rid of LOTS of things...we want some new things anyway when we move and would have less to store. There are always places to rent temporary.
Both towns have a Sr Citizens complex...but they keep pretty full and have a waiting list.
Love to have all of your thoughts, so keep them coming....THANKS
DH and I are 73 and 75 and in good health. We moved to a retirement community in 2008 and love it. I recommend it highly. Of course, your situation may be different. But don't make the mistake of thinking a retirement community is a "nursing home."
We live in a 2 BR, 2 Bath villa. It is plenty big enough for us and we come and go as we please.
What will happen when you can't drive anymore? It took 5 people to keep my mother in her condo. Somebody cleaned for her, went to the bank, took her to the doctor's, went grocery shopping for her, etc. Your children might not be available to do all those things.
I wouldn't want to even think about building a house at our ages.
I guess you never know what will happen. I am in my 50s but the issue I have with many retirement communities are restrictions they may have. Also we have pets and I can't imagine life without them.
It can be hard to know the right choice. Building is stressful and I would probably prefer not to but I would do it if I felt it was the best choice.
Slightly OT, but there are many different flavors of retirement communities. I will list some, and i am sure there are several others.
*55 and over communities: These are simply standard subdivisions or condo complexes or trailer parks or villas or apartment complexes where one spouse must be 55 or over and other spouse must be 45 or over. When a home and if any grass, often there is maintance for this and you pay extra for mtc. some places might have rules against pets in the condos or trailer parks, but most often pets are allowed and a size limit, or there is a pet section and no-pet section. Nobody comes in your house to care for you. Residents can be of any health status - perfectly fit athletes even live in these places.
*Independent living: I think this is similar to 55+ but with a few more services avaiable that you pay for ala carte. But you still live in your own place, but someone comes over for care or maintanance that you choose. Maybe someone can correct if I am wrong on this one.
*Assisted Living: Not quite a nursing home. Differnt types of rooms or apartment type arrangements but various services are done for you and you pay for them. Such as cooking (eat in dining area), cleaning, linens changed, clothes washed for you, help bathing or similar is avail if you need it, etc. You can drive and keep car in lot if you choose and usually there is a facility van avail that has regular trips to grocery store, restaurants, etc. MD trips can be arranged, etc. Sometimes on-site MD office and hair salong and other services that you can use if you choose and you pay for them separate.
*Nursing Home: a room or studio or similar and full service care(med included) and all needed maintance(linens, food, clothes washed) is also given.
Let's say the abandoned house is workable. Can you buy it before selling your present home? Can you afford to remodel it without funds from your present home?
If not, there's no point discussing this. You can do nothing until your present house sells.
Every move is costly and stressful. If/when your present house sells, there's MOVE #1 -- into a rental? Then you'll have MOVE #2 -- into either the remodeled abandoned house or (?). How many years will it be before you have MOVE #3 -- into assisted living? That could be one year or ten, but considering my own and my DH's ages and our health (which are both quite good NOW), I'd bet on it being less than ten years.
MY plan would be to get on the waiting list for senior housing; hope my present house sells; plan to rent until I can get into senior housing. Or, you could just continue to rent!
Leaving your personal housing out of the equation, would you *invest* in this abandoned property to fix it up and plan to re-sell at a profit? Does that make financial sense? Is it worth your time and effort? (BTW -- Readers of this forum who 'know me' probably knew this question was coming: What is the land under the abandoned house worth?)
Also, you have said that YOU don't want to build again, but does your DH view it as something to occupy him in his retirement? My late Realtor-mother had clients who bought, remodeled and sold houses for YEARS. The wife said these 'projects' kept the marriage together.
If you have ever been to Kansas, you know it is very rural and the only retirement village is in the Kansas City area...and that is just too expensive for us to live there.
I asked DH if he thought we should "look ahead" 10 years and what we might need....his reply was "you and I both know that no one is guaranteed of a tomorrow, let alone 10 years....we will take each day as it comes." And he is right...my first husband was killed in an auto accident when I was only 33 years old...he was 37....left me with three small children to raise. I spent the next 25 years of my life making a home for them and making sure they got a good college education. When I was 58, I met my present DH who was widowed for 10 years, so we do know that it makes no difference how old we might be, we might not be here tomorrow, let alone 10-15 years from now. We do want a nice, handicapped accessible home for us to enjoy now and when we are done with it, a house that our kids would have the best chance selling it....and that would be in the larger town. The smaller house is in a "bedroom community" for a somewhat larger town about 18 miles away and the economy of that town is in the toilet...lost most of their industry due to the bad economy...so there are quite a few empty houses there right now.
The builder of the new house in the little town, sent me pics of the house and it is certainly not handicapped accessible, so we'd have to do modifications to that also...and believe me, it is very generic...but for $135,000, that is to be expected.
His health is so very good and I have arthritis, but thanks for replacement parts, I am managing.
DH was "well fixed" when we married, but through some bad "futures" on the SM, and what his son has done to him, those funds are gone....so we must think of how best to handle what assets we do have....namely, our present home.
It is on the market for $342,000, which is at the top most price range in this town. It has only been on the market for 3 weeks, but might have to consider lowering the price soon.
All of this "planning" has been good for DH...he has been "lost" after the business had to close and this work is all he had known for 60 years, so has spent countless hours drawing plans for the new house and for the remodeling of the little house...as well as figuring the costs of doing both.....so it does give him back a little of "his old life"...and I think that has given him a "boost" to be able to do some work again.
Yes, I could personally finance the buying of the $77,000 house, but will not be able to do the remodeling...but we could live in it while remodeling is being done....it might even clean up better than we think.
He has drawn plans for a 2,080 SF, 3 car garage, new home and it will be built on a very beautiful lot that we bought for $21,000, 3 years ago on a pretty little lake...oh how peaceful~~~ and he thinks after getting all of the bids back, we should be able to do it for about $180,000...which after selling this house would be very doable and have some left for "playing".
Chisue~~As far as the "land under the house"....in the small town, not much, it is only 50'wide x 140'deep.....under the house that we build (about 3/4 acre), it would be worth at least the $21,000 that we gave for it. Both pieces of property are in the same county, so the tax rate would be very similar.

Ever jump off a mountain, Dave?<quoted text>Uh, you just pretty much said what I said. Except you think all of the organization is done on the fly. With no checksums.
But here the utter reality. Those words and brain processes have to be turned into "reality", meaning physical processes you can identify with, like the ones that created us and we live in? Otherwise you have a bunch of random firing neurons with no where to go.
Go break a finger, it will do you some good. Get a good grasp of what momentum and mass is. Banging your head against the wall may be of significant value to you. If done hard enough.

1999 Mercedes ML Body Kits
Fits - 1999 Mercedes ML
1999 Mercedes ML body kits are exterior components that can be used to enhance and revitalize a ride's look. After years of wear and tear, the exterior components on many vehicles starts to look old and, frankly, ugly. Any damage to a vehicle's paint or to the exterior components themselves can depreciate a vehicle's value, making the use of body kits is just that significant. A aerodynamic kits can make a ride look newer, without changing any of the true mechanics of the ride.
Most astonishing 1999 Mercedes ML body kits upgrades come with replacements for several exterior components, bumper covers and side skirts. These are the areas of a vehicle that are often damaged from daily driving, but they aren't the only parts that could be easily replaced. Other custom body parts can be used to upgrade a car's appearance, so 1999 Mercedes ML body kits can often be special ordered to a car owner's specific requirement. For an enhanced look that takes off the poor looks created from years of usage, a simple body kits can make you smile.

Firearms deer season starts Nov. 7
Hunters will have to get used to taking less deer in the area with the start of the firearm season on Saturday (Nov. 7.)
It's a weeklong dash that ends Nov. 15.
Department of Natural Resources officials changed the deer area designations on several zones in the Detroit Lakes area.
"It's all about deer population," said DNR wildlife manager Earl Johnson.
Johnson said that the deer zones receive their designation after the public has a chance to offer input.

Karl Niederuss Symphony
Dressage SaddlesFor Sale on eBay Manufacturer: Karl Niederuss
Model: Karl Niederuss Symphony
Category: Dressage Saddles
Purchase: I purchased this saddle new about 10 years ago from Dressage Extensions. I believe it is now offered at $1,795.00. The staff at Dressage Extensions was wonderfully helpful in finding a saddle for my hard-to-fit horse, and let me try out several models and sizes before I selected this one in a wide tree.
Likes: I've owned and ridden in dozens of different types of saddles, and the KN Symphony remains my favorite. The soft, moderate knee rolls and medium-deep seat make it easy to find the correct position without forcing or locking you in. Because of this, I've found this saddle to be the best I've tried for Show Hack classes. It's extremely comfortable and fits most of the horses I work with quite well. It's also been quite effective in teaching students the correct seat, as it enables them to find the correct position easily without allowing them to rely too heavily on the saddle as in some deeper seated models.
Dislikes: There's actually nothing I dislike about this saddle. I only wish it were easier to find in an extra wide tree for the few horses I've had that are just too wide for this one.
Quality: I've used this saddle multiple times a day almost daily for ten years, and it still shows very little wear. There's a bit of wear under the stirrup leathers, but otherwise nothing - no loose stitching, no scratches or scuffs, no fading of the black dye. Even the billets are in excellent condition and show no signs of stretching.
Summary: I'm very impressed with what this saddle delivers. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this saddle or to purchase another if (heaven forbid!) anything happened to mine.

If you are facing foreclosure in Oregon, it's important to understand some of the basics, including:
- the most common type of foreclosure procedure (judicial v. nonjudicial) used in Oregon
- how much time you have to respond
- your rights and protections in the process, and
- what happens afterwards (for example, whether you'll be liable for a deficiency judgment).
Below we have outlined some of the most important features of Oregon foreclosure law. Keep in mind that this is just a summary; we've included statute citations so you can get more details from the laws themselves. And be sure to check out Nolo's extensive Foreclosure section, where you can find information about all aspects of foreclosure, definitions of foreclosure terms (like redemption and reinstatement), and options to avoid foreclosure.
Probably nonjudicial. In the past, most foreclosures in Oregon were nonjudicial. In 2012, lenders switched to judicial foreclosures for various reasons that are no longer applicable. Lenders will likely revert to nonjudicial foreclosures again. |
Foreclosing party must record a notice of default and serve a notice of sale on homeowner 120 days before the sale, either by personal service or mail, along with a "danger" notice that warns of the impending foreclosure mailed on or before the date the notice of sale is served or mailed. |
Available up to five days before sale. The law limits the amount homeowner can be charged in costs and fees. |
Not available after a nonjudicial foreclosure |
None |
Violations of the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act are an unlawful practice under Oregon law. Or. Rev. Stat. § 646.605, 646.608(LLL). Foreclosure prohibited on real estate owned by a service member called into active service during war. Or. Rev. Stat. § 408.440. |
Not allowed after a residential foreclosure |
$400 ($800 for married couples), plus up to $7,500 of wages deposited into a bank account ($15,000 for married couples) |
New owner entitled to possession ten days after the sale; after that, former owner can be evicted without notice. Or. Rev. Stat. § 91.040 |
Or. Rev. Stat. §§ 86.726 to 86.815, 88.010 to 88.100 |

UF gets grant for transplant research center
Published: Friday, October 1, 2010 at 7:50 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, October 1, 2010 at 11:34 p.m.
GAINESVILLE — In the records of the transplant center at Shands Hospital at the University of Florida, Tim Telford is Patient No. 199.
Lung transplants at Shands UF
• Performed first lung transplant in state in spring of 1994.
• As of Oct. 1, lung transplants totaled 493.
• One-year patient survival rate is 82 percent, among the best in the nation.
Telford, a semiretired nuclear engineer, was tethered to an oxygen tank in his South Florida home in 2002, his lungs rapidly deteriorating from pulmonary fibrosis.
That's when he was referred to the program at Shands UF and put on the waiting list for a lung transplant. Three months later, in December, a donor was found and Telford got a second chance at life.
He's made the most of it.
After a successful transplant, Telford, who is now a Gainesville resident, has made it his mission to find funding for research into chronic rejection, the most common reason patients die after a lung transplant.
In a ceremony Friday at the Shands Cancer Hospital, Telford joined other transplant recipients to hear the announcement that UF has received a $1 million grant to establish a lung transplant center and fund research projects aimed at solving post-transplant dilemmas such as chronic rejection.
After his transplant, Telford gathered a group around him, including pediatric professor emeritus John Ross and transplant center director Maher Baz, dedicated to lobbying state legislators about the need for more education about and research into organ transplantation.
They found willing advocates in state Sen. Steve Oelrich, who has been an active supporter of organ donation since the death of his 18-year-old son Nick in 1995, and House Speaker Larry Cretul, who heard Oelrich speak in 1997 or 1998 about his son's death and the decision to donate his organs.
Oelrich said he first heard about organ donation after flying his dying son back to Shands UF from Cancun, Mexico, after a spring break accident. Nick Oelrich's heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, tissue and muscle have helped more than 100 people, the former Alachua County sheriff said Friday.
"This decision [to be an organ donor] should be made as a family around the kitchen table, not in the hallway of some emergency room," he told listeners.
Baz told of how the group traveled back and forth between Gainesville and Tallahassee, "speed limit be damned," to lobby state legislators.
"This million dollars in funding allows us to put into motion what had only existed on paper," Baz said.
Five projects focused on chronic rejection involving researchers from UF's colleges of medicine and engineering will get startup funding from the grant.
"Of the solid organ transplant, the survival rate of lung transplants is unfortunately the lowest," said Dr. Mark Brantly, division chief of pulmonary medicine. Brantly will direct research efforts for the new lung transplant center.
The money also will go toward developing an improved pediatric lung transplant program at Shands Children's Hospital at UF.
