Count us among those who think the Las Vegas City Council went only half as far as it should have last Friday when it hiked the city water rates. The new rates will increase in stages over the next four years, beginning later this year, and are expected to raise $21.6 million in bond proceeds to pay for water system capital improvements.
She was friendly, polite and courteous and seemingly in control. But, she kept slowing down the line.
Before we analyze the young local checker, let me give you my take on causing stoppages, or even slowages. I say with no hesitation that I would rather paste my nostrils together with Crazy Glue than to hold up a line.

Home > News & Events > News > Articles > President Musharraf: Vision for a Democratic Pakistan
Pervez Musharraf, President of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, outlined his vision for building a democratic, Islamic Pakistan at the Institute of Politics' ARCO Forum at the Kennedy School Sunday evening. Harvard President Larry Summers introduced Musharraf to the packed Forum as he acknowledged the substantial cooperation that has occurred between Pakistan and Harvard University over the years.
General Musharraf, who came to power in a bloodless coup in October of 1999, said that Pakistan is working aggressively to build a modern, democratic society. "Our democratic transition is well underway," he said. He argued that three decades of Pakistani leadership with a history of military dictatorships had failed to "address mounting economic, political and social challenges."
Since he came to office, Musharraf said he had initiated numerous social reforms, including an improved status for women and a modernization of the Madrassah educational system. He also executed constitutional changes that were met with international criticism. Musharraf said those constitutional changes are "designed to ensure checks and balances on all 'power brokers' - the President, the Prime Minister and the army chief."
He went on to paint a dire picture of the strained relations between Pakistan and neighboring India. "Indo-Pakistan relations today are at their lowest ebb," he said. "Their forces confront each other eyeball to eyeball with most dangerous possibilities of the eruption of conflict by accident or design."
The two nations, which both have nuclear weapons, "have nothing to be gained through military brinkmanship," he said. He said Pakistan had made major commitments to ease the crisis but insisted that India has not reciprocated. The Pakistanis "await de-escalation and resumption of dialogue to resolve our differences," he said.
The Pakistani leader fielded several tough comments and questions from the audience, made up of Harvard students and guests. One such question broached the subject of the safety of nuclear material over which Pakistan has said it has complete control. Noting that both Russia and the U.S. -- vastly more wealthy nations -- have both had problems protecting nuclear materials, the questioner sardonically wondered what did Pakistan know that the U.S. and Russia don't. Musharraf insisted that Pakistan had created a "fail-safe" system to oversee nuclear material and that the problems that plagued the U.S. and Russia are not surfacing in Pakistan.
Another questioner asked that, if the U.S. were to give Pakistan evidence that Iraq was creating weapons of mass destruction to be used against the U.S., would Pakistan support the U.S.? Musharraf deftly replied, "no one is talking about Iraq attacking the U.S." Rather, he said the issue being hotly debated is whether the U.S. should attack Iraq.
Musharraf's visit marked the first ARCO Forum for this school year.

Back in April if you were told that the New York Yankees would lose Mariano Rivera and Michael Pineda for the season, along with significant injuries to Andy Pettitte, Brett Gardner, Joba Chamberlain and David Robertson. Could you in your wildest dreams believe the Bronx Bombers would be sitting in first place with the best record (52-33) in baseball? Not I and I am sure not you either, but they have weathered the storm of injuries and lack of hitting with RISP so far.
How have they done it? Hitting the long ball, they don't call them the Bronx Bombers for nothing. New York has lived up to their nickname leading the Major Leagues with 134 home runs and 308 walks. The Yankees also have a baseball leading seven players in double figures for home runs. The Yankees are 35-8 when hitting multiple homers in a game, but are only 2-14 in games where they don't hit a jack. Obviously they are living and dying by the home run and are worst in the Majors with RISP batting under .200.
Let's look at the good, bad and ugly in the first half. Captain Derek Jeter, who turned 38 this year, started off in April on a blistering pace hitting .389, 37 hits and an OPS of 1.012. Derek continued his hot hitting thru May, cooled off a bit in June, but has picked it back up again in July hitting .344 for the month and .308 overall. He led the American League since the start of the season in hits and just recently has dropped to second place with 108. Jeter was selected as starting shortstop for this year's All-Star game, making it his 13th appearance in 18 seasons in Pinstripes. Derek recently passed Cal Ripken Jr. for 13th place on the all-time hits list and past Ted Williams for 17th place on the all-time runs scored list. Jeter ranks first in the AL with a .346 (62-for-179) road batting avg. and second in the AL with a .381 (37-for-97) average vs. LHP.
After a slow start Robinson Cano is on a 15 game hitting streak batting .429 with eight home runs, 16 RBIs and eight multi-hit games. Cano also was selected as a starter to the All-Star game along with Jeter, Curtis Granderson and CC Sabathia. Cano's 20 home runs leads all MLB second baseman which is his fourth consecutive season of 20 or more jacks.
New York leads the Baltimore Orioles by seven games in the AL East and owns the league best road record at 28-17 (.612).
The bullpen till very recently has been the one of the strengths with this club. Cody Eppley, Clay Rapada, Boone Logan, Corey Wade, David Phelps, David Robertson and Rafael Soriano have been stellar in keeping opponents off the scoreboard. Soriano has 19 saves this season and fit nicely into the role vacated by the injury to Rivera.
Raul Ibanez, Eric Chavez and Andruw Jones have been extremely productive coming off the bench for manager Joe Girardi. Ibanez has 11 home runs and 36 RBIs in 76 games for the Bombers. Ibanez has seen more time in the outfield because of the Brett Gardner injury. Chavez in only 131 plate appearances is batting .289 with eight home runs and 19 RBIs. Jones in an even more limited role with only 122 ABs has hit 11 home runs and driven in 22.
The bad has been the continuing lack of hitting with RISP. When the Yankees get to the playoffs you see better pitching and less home runs are usually hit. New York must start to find a way to drive in runs with hits and manufacture some runs when needed rather than waiting for the proverbial three run homer.
Alex Rodriguez seems to have turned into a singles hitter showing less power this year then in years past. Rodriguez must start driving the ball and getting RBIs to help this club advance through the second half of the season and beyond.
Now the ugly, Russell Martin is below the "Mendoza line" having an awful time at the plate. Russell is hitting .179 with 49 strikeouts and only 37 hits in 68 games. In his last 31 plate appearances he has one hit, two walks and nine strikeouts. Can this lineup continue to carry Martin on their backs or will a move have to be made before the trading deadline or before the end of the season?
Right now despite the issues with the starting rotation and injuries the Yankees are pretty happy they are sitting a top of the AL East with the best record in baseball. With Chamberlain and Gardner getting closer to returning and Sabathia ready to get back into the fold after the All-Star break it could be worse and New York could be in Boston's position.
Looking forward to an even better second half and march to the playoffs.
The Yankees are off for the All-Star break till Friday July 13th when they host the Los Angles Angels for a three-game weekend set.

Connected Baby Booties Help Parents Monitor Their Child's Vitals
The Owlet Vitals Monitor sends babies heart rate, oxygen levels, skin temperature, sleep quality, and roll over alerts to a parents' smartphone.
The Owlet Vitals Monitor is a baby bootie that sends information about heart rate, oxygen levels, skin temperature, sleep quality, and roll over alerts to a parents' smartphone. Salt Lake City-based Owlet Baby Care created the world's first baby "smart sock" with the aim of simplifying parenthood.
Founder/CEO Kurt Workman first had the idea when caring for his twin cousins who were born prematurely. He also had a cousin pass away from Sudden Infant Death Syndrome.
The company has launched a "selfstarter" crowdfunding campaign on their website and is asking for pledges of $159 for an early-bird unit, with a goal of $100,000. Owlet Founder Jacob Colvin said:
Every parent knows what it's like to lay in bed and stress about whether your child is breathing. Hearing my sick child wheezing all night long because of serious RSV is one of the hardest experiences I have ever had, knowing I couldn't do anything for her. If we can help one parent or one child, all our effort would be worth it.

I have been diagnosed last year with sero-negative RA. I am 33 years old male. I have been using Methotrexate(15mg/week), hydroxychlor(200mg/twice daily) and prednisone(2.5mg/day) since then. With all these meds my situation did not improve at all. I am having pain in both my hands, feet and ankles. Sometimes on shoulder and recently start feeling occasional pain in knees. All this pain is more towards the left side of my body. My left hand is so weak that I can barely hold anything.
I am considering using biologics as I dont have any life now with all the pain and limitations. I checked and read reviews people who have taken Humira etc improved their symptoms and are able to get back their life.
However due to my origin from India; I have been told that we retain some form of TB virus even if Lab test show negative and it is dangerous to take Humira or Enbrel. I never had TB and always tested negative when required for school and immigration purposes. I was told to try Rituxan but the side effects for it look more dangerous compared to Humira.
Please give me your thoughts and insight into what might be the best option for me and if I can take TNF inhibitors like Humira? And if any Indians or Asians out there who have taken TNF inhibitors? And also what tests will be helpful in completely ruling out TB viruses.

Phil Mickelson Was Right About His Unfair Tax Burden – Bruce's Thought Of The Day
Phil Mickelson just gets me so mad at times. Just when I want to say "nice going, Phil" he disappoints again. This seems like it's common and, man, it infuriates me.
First of all, his play is erratic. He's had a great career, for sure, but how much better could it be?
Also, his pulling out at the Ryder Cup still sticks in my craw, I can't deny. With a chance to step on the throats of the European team, he begs out of play.
My new beef has nothing to do with his play but his lack of a spine in the tax "debate," if this is even a debate. I am not not rich, but unlike half of the country, I have no issues with the rich and applaud them if the riches are gained through hard work.
It seems that has been lost on many as the war against the wealthy carries on, sad that it is. It used to be that we looked up to the successful. Now half of the country looks down on them with anger, jealousy, and envy and want what they have but don't want to earn it. So, yes, I will defend the rich as I would defend anyone that is in the right.
Sadly, though, it seems Phil and many others won't defend themselves. Mickelson was nails on talking about his disgusting tax burden. Between all the taxes he pays it can be construed as robbery. A 62-63% tax rate? Are you kidding me?
Taxifornia, as many call it, will cave in on itself some day as they continue to soak the rich to give to the lazy, uneducated, disinterested, non-striving, no work ethic malcontents what they want. Taking 62 cents or 60 cents or whatever the exact figure is is, in my opinion, criminal. Not even the Mafia gets that kind of rate on its returns.
So Mickelson complains about his tax burden, gets hammered by those who think because he is rich somehow he has to foot the bill for thousands, then he backs off saying "taxes are a personal issue." No, Phil, it is not a personal issue but a fight that has been going on for a long time and will continue to be battled.
Mickelson should have dug in and helped fight the fight against greed, the greed of a government that would dare take 60% of someone's wages like they committed a crime or did wrong when, in fact, they should be held up for applause not held down with derision. Mickelson should have explained his decision in depth. That decision seems to be he is leaving "Taxifornia" for a state that didn't soak the wealthy and make them "pay" for their success. A state like Texas or Florida that have no state income taxes.
But once again Phil, perhaps "protecting" his image and his advertising clients, bags out, apologizes, and looks like the fool. Mickelson, if he were going to open the Pandora's box, should have been prepared for the hate he would receive, the blow back that he would certainly get, and the anger that sadly now pervades this country and the opinion that somehow the wealthy like Phil are greedy, ungrateful and selfish.
It's a pathetic mindset that says Phil should shut up, pay his exorbitant rates and be grateful for his wealth. No, Phil should get to enjoy his wealth, because he has earned his wealth by competing, putting in the time to get better, hard work and accomplishment, and winning. This winning has translated into more wealth via advertisers paying him to pitch their products. There is no shame in any of this but, sadly, we are in an upside down world now where right is wrong and wrong is right.
However, instead of making his case, Phil has bagged out and apologized. Perhaps his actions will speak louder than his words. We shall see what his next move is, if there is a next move.
However, Phil, you should never apologize for being successful. At one time that was cause for applause and admiration. Now it is cause for derision and hate.
According to some figures the "wealthy" already pay over 70% of the tax burden in this country and then are shouted down as needing "to pay their fair share" while 50% of the people pay no income taxes. Talking about ducking your "fair share."

Toccoa Hears Internet Company Lease Proposal
The city of Toccoa will wait to hear back from Gunby Communications about the city commission's counterproposal to an original offer from the company.
The company wanted to barter space on the city's Meadowbrook Water Tank in order to build out its wireless Internet network.
Gunby Communications General Manager John Smith said their goal is to provide more service to its existing wireless Internet customers and add more customers where possible.
"On the water tank, we would like to install the equipment to kind of make that a hub site and become a redundant site for all of our Internet services," said Smith.
According to Smith, from that site, they could provide services to all of the MeadowbrookIndustrial Park, as well as using it as a part of being able to expand services to other businesses and industries.
In return, the company offered to provide Internet services to the city.
City commissioners offered to lease the space for a cash amount paid monthly, rather than barter for services.
Toccoa City Commissioner Terry Carter said he is more comfortable with a cash lease, rather than a barter.
"Technology changes so fast, who knows what five years will be, ten years, if we enter some kind of barter system," said Carter, who also said a cash agreement would be fairer and cleaner for everybody.
That was the preferred option of TruVista representatives who were on hand.
Clay Fisher with the Toccoa TruVista office said they just want everything to be fair for everybody.
"The only thing I ask is as an employer and taxpayer, keep us on a level playing field," said Fisher.
A lease amount of $500 to $600 per month was suggested by the city commission.
Smith said he would consider the city's counterproposal and let them know about a decision.

I know I am a lot younger than most of you guys but I still have been around many different t cars. I mean hell I drive/build a racecar for run. In all the cars I have had the pleasure of driving nothing has felt as put together as an E46 that includes other BMWs. I have had a much faster car that still was as pleasing to drive. Even when your not taking hard corners just sitting behind the wheel has a special feeling. Everybody that I have let drive my car will say something like "wow this feels great," or "man I want to race." Even my gf said it makes her want to dive fast. I don't even have a ZHP let alone an M. As fast as a pure drivers car you either need a real race car or classic to have as much fun.

Hogs in South Texas are a problem, so I can imagine that what you hear is true. The couple of farmers I know, however, like to take care of their hogs themselves.
You may need to ask around and make some personal freindships with local farmers or ranchers.
A lot of the folks down my way will let you hunt hogs plus most all of them hunt them too.
i don't have a lot of contacts with ranchers (wish i did) so i'm probably going to try finding some public land. i really can't pay 200 bucks to shoot a dang pig for a 1 day hunt.
i would pay a couple hundred bucks if me and my buddy could use a chunk of land with the understanding that we were only after pigs and we'd leave the deer alone.
if anyone has any suggested websites, i'm open to suggestions....public land or anything else useful.
i already read texasboars.com, but it seems like many of those folks are hunting on private land.
you guys hunt hogs much? gun or bow?
You might want to check out the classifieds in areas where deer are plentiful and investigate what is available. You could then ask about other more "non game animals". They may charge you or they may not. One of the concerns landowners (especially ranchers) will have is having unknown people on their property. Liability can be an issue but mostly they worry about how "unknown" people will conduct themselves on their property. There are many places in the deep woods away from towns where scumbags cook meth, etc., kill unauthorized animals, start fires, leave trashed out areas, etc. That's what a landowner will be concerned about. My advice would be to go on some paid hunts and let the landowners get to know you. Just a thought.
Oh by the way, what part of Texas are you talking about?
It's always up to the property owner, but feral hogs are a problem in Central and East Texas farming/ranching areas; if there's land with a decent amount of forest and underbrush, you will have wild hogs. Coyotes are the major problem out west, as well as jackrabbits which are a major nuisance and by no means endangered. I can't imagine a property owner NOT being delighted at a friend offering to do some pest control, but if I had 50 acres with a couple hundred head and a stranger asked me for permission to hunt hog I'd be hesitant, so you're better off making friends with a rancher.
From Austin, I would head for Bastrop/Smithville/La Grange; there's a lot of good forested ranchland there, so it's good hog country, and it's close enough for a good day trip. You'll have to ask locally about what land is public and what is private, and just by asking someone at the local feed store about public hog-hunting land in the area you might get offers to hunt on private property.
This isn't deer-hunting; forget the bow. That one kid in the papers months ago may have brought down a one-ton hog with a revolver, but I'd bring a decent rifle in the range of .243-270, to be sure you do maximum damage with your hit. 7.62 Soviet would probably work well too especially since those rifles tend to be semi-auto, but a full .30-cal round like .308 or 30-06 would be overkill; you're going to be hunting in thick growth so a clean long-distance kill is not a concern. It's punching a bullet through the hog that's the issue; they're tough even after they've been thoroughly smoked. A shotgun would also do the trick if you're on foot; a pump with single- or double-aught buck would put a pig down in a hurry.
They eat the same stuff tame pigs eat, which is just about anything; a few overripe apples or a couple pounds of corn feed in a clearing with you in a tree will probably get you a few interested hogs, or you can drive-hunt or walk-hunt. I'd recommend against hunting with a dog; a boar is more than a match for most retriever breeds like Labs, and you are likely to end up with a serious vet bill even if you bring a boarhound or bullmastiff. Besides, you'll be shooting at something of that general size and don't want to mistake your dog for a hog.
If you're willing to smoke the bejeezus out of the hams and loins they make pretty good eating (very sharp, gamey taste, really good with a sweet BBQ sauce), but if you can't or won't smoke it for a few days at least then don't bother; you're not going to get a Honeybaked Ham out of a wild hog.
thanks for the advice.
do you think it would be out of the question to take a yearling with a bow? i'm not interested in a trophy at all. i just want to eat'em.
By contrast, a shoulder shot with a rifle is a good option as it prevents the animal getting too far before it bleeds out, a .270 will be effective in most any brush through which you can see the animal, and a rifle can be readied and re-readied more quickly than a bow. I wouldn't totally discount a bow as an effective weapon in these circumstances, and a crossbow would be even better as the power is greater and it can be kept ready like a rifle, but as the exercise is as much a pest control measure and for food as it is for sport and enjoyment, IMO you'll want the tool that is most effective, and that's a rifle.
In addition, hogs are not deer; they can be very aggressive, and while on foot you face the possibility of a nesting hog you didn't notice feeling threatened and charging. You may only be interested in yearlings, but if they're in the area, chances are good that Mama and Papa are there too, and a boar will fight very effectively against animals twice its size if it has to. At my local range/store a couple of days ago, there was a guy interested in hog hunting out east of Dallas. The salesman helping him was recommending an M1A copy in .308. His reasoning is similar to what you'd hear for defensive handgun calibers; your shot has to have the greatest possible chance to incapacitate quickly both for a quick humane kill and for stopping a charging animal, and therefore you want the biggest, fastest bullet you can control. I still think a 30-06 Springfield is overkill but the guy behind the counter said it would be the gun of choice for one-shot stops of bigger hogs, and therefore the best option for stand/blind hunting. He recommended the M1 when hunting on foot as the .308 is almost as powerful and the semi-auto action gives you a better weapon against a charging animal.
I hunt them all the time with my bow. It is a blast and they taste good. I hunt East Texas. I shoot 65 lbs and use Rage broadheads. The main thing on piggies is ...their heart and lungs are lower than deer. Aim a few inches lower on the chest, otherwise you will be tracking for long time. Wait for a quartered away or perfect broadside shot ( with bow). With a rifle, shoot them in the head, they drop with no tracking. I am going after some this weekend..This is the time of the year to hunt them. My biggest with a bow is a 350 lb (on ranch scale) If you are shooting a smaller poundage, use any two blade broadhead. Have fun!
try texas boars website. good info and lots of forums
go to" texas boars " website. they have more than enough info and lots of web members to advise you.-doug
Feral hogs are considered to be vermin by most farmers and ranchers, but that doesn't mean they will let a stranger come on their land, for a variety of reasons. It is very common for guys to ambush a 'herd' of hogs with ARs or AKs and kill them in double digit numbers. It is also considered OK by most to 'recycle' them...simply drag them off and leave them for the buzzards, coyotes, and yes...other hogs. Folks I know kill all they can, and only butcher the young, healthy ones.
Among all of the sensible reasons that landowners will not allow hog hunters is one very good and practical one:
Every time a feral hog is hunted or trapped unsuccessfully, he learns something that makes him harder to get. Since trapping is a much more productive method of eradicating vermin than shooting them one by one, a landowner who has a well thought out plan for reducing the feral hog population is not going to want anything that will make his quarry less predictable. Trapping is hard work, because the traps must be very strong, and they have to be moved around, so anything that causes disruption of the hogs daily routine means more work for the trapper.
Experts estimate that 70% of the feral hog population must be eliminated every year to keep them from multiplying out of control and destroying the food crops of all other game animals, so a well thought out plan is all that can succeed. One of the better plans is to hunt the large boars and sows stealthily, usually at night, and keep them killed off, so they don't train the younger pigs.
Hogs are smart animals, and the old, educated boars are as wary as coyotes. They will often circle a baited site, sniffing the air, and warn off the main herd. They do not run with the herd, but live around the edges of it, and service the sows when they come 'in heat.'
Having said all this, it is possible to find places to hunt, but folks from the cities will pay well for a hog hunt, so most landowners have started to charge for the 'privilege,' because some can make more money off their land that way than farming or ranching on it.
Do you need the hunting permit for hogs? Thanks.
Hogs are not game animals, but .................... one must have a hunting license to hunt anything in Texas. On non-game animals there isn't a limit, no specific hours you can hunt, etc.

Nicholas I, Patriarch of Constantinople: Miscellaneous Writings
Nicholas I, Patriarch of Constantinople; L. G. Westerink
Dumbarton Oaks Texts
Byzantine Studies, Byzantine History
ISBN: 978-0-88402-089-9, Hardcover, 1981, Out of print
Next to Photius and Michael Cerularius, Nicholas I is probably the most prominent of the patriarchs of Constantinople. Besides a few stray letters not preserved by the regular manuscript tradition, Miscellaneous Writings include: eight patriarchal documents, among which the Tome of Union of 920; a brief but impressive sermon on the capture of Thessalonica in 904; extracts from a pamphlet on the famous controversy around Leo VI's fourth marriage; finally, five hymns, of which, however, only three are attested as written by the Patriarch, while the remaining two should more probably be assigned to a namesake.

John, with all the time and effort you've put into this project, have you contacted any of the parties involved? You can't be the only one experiencing these problems, I wonder if a bug in the right ear would get something done about it? It might be hard to get a hold of an engineer at Ruger, but it would sure be interesting to hear why they built it the way they did.
My Witness 45 uses double-stack mags and holds ten rounds plus one in the pipe, but it's a big sucker, noticeably larger than a 1911, and probably about the same amount bigger than the P97. I wish someone offered metal followers for those mags, I have six, and only four of them will hold the slide open when they're empty!

Dear Diary;
Mom sang Happy Birfday to me n Saturday. It was so neat. Then when we got up I got special stuff.
For dinner she made me and my bratty seester Fi Fi a hamburger cake and we each got half. Not fair, my day. But she told me she had to be fair and on bratty's birthday I would get that same as her.
We went for a ride and then got to stay up late and do whatever I wanted. Hopefully mom will put my pictures on dogster so all my fur pals can see.
Well diary I have to go for now I will bark at ya later.
Miss Binky the Diva Boxer
Mom took me to work with her today. I am scammin treats and havin some funny fun fun.
I will get a hangyburger for lunch and then go to the dog park for a 1/2 hour and then back to woofy woof work.
I saw the mail man and he was sooooooo stuck up. No wonder we like to mess with em. Hee Hee.
A nice man came to the window and waived at me. If he came in I would give him a big wet one.
Well gotta go someone is coming and I have to baaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrk.
Well guess what fellow compadres? It is going to snow tonight and I am not excited. It will be to cold for my dainty feel and my furby sister will terrorize me.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Mom said I still had to go out to do you know what.
And then to top it off I was minding my own business just napping on human mom when the terror jumped us both and decided we were her chew toys. She would jump us jump down and do it again. I think she is practicing for the snow that tard head. I will be prepared (I am practicing my ninja moves on mom). HEE HEE.
Well I won't bore my delicious Divas and Manly Bruts.
Many wet kisses and paws to you all.

Porsche Panamera Hybrid Could Be World's Fastest
GoAutonews is reporting that first Porsche four-door sedan, the Panamera, will be produced with a range of engines including a V10 model and a hybrid version using the same drivetrain as the Cayenne hybrid revealed last week, potentially giving it the mantle of the world's fastest hybrid.
The V10, V8 and V6 versions of the Panamera are expected to roll out in 2009 with the hybrid to follow within two years. The hybrid will employ the Cayenne's 34kW electric motor driving through the standard six-speed Tiptronic transmission. The high top speeds will be attained via use of Porsche's "parallel" system that sees the electric motor positioned between the petrol engine and the transmission to boost stability and provide advantages over "power-split" systems commonly used by other manufacturers which transfer a fixed amount of torque via the electrical path and limit the top speed to the capability of the electric motor.
The four seat, four door Panamera will join the 911, Boxster/Cayman and Cayenne to complete Porche's planned quartet . Following, the fourth series will be a sports coupé of the premium class and a genuine Porsche. Guaranteed by performance, sporting spirit, exclusivity. GoAuto predict that the Panemera will be revealed at the 2008 Paris motor show.

Imagine finding your dream home and then discovering that it is an FSBO, or for sale by owner, property meaning that the seller has decided to sell his home without the assistance of a licensed real estate broker. Although you may feel reluctant to make an offer on the property, you should not overlook this opportunity to negotiate directly with the seller. While making an offer will require you to do a lot of research, there are several real estate professionals and resources available to help you with the process.
Learn as much as you can about the property. Gathering information about the property will help you decide on the details of your offer. Look around the house several times and make a list of items that may need to be replaced or repaired. The condition of the home should have a significant impact on your offer, so make sure to ask the seller for a property disclosure form that can provide details about the condition of the home's systems, recent upgrades and major repairs.
Decide on the amount of your starting offer. Start by offering an amount that is less than the sales price and within the price range of similar homes in the area that were listed for sale or sold within the last six months. This will give you an opportunity to negotiate with the seller and ultimately get the best price for the home. Ask the seller to see if he has any real estate market information or a recent appraisal report that establishes the home's value. If not, you can gather real estate data from online sources (see Resources) to conduct your own research. You can also contact your state's board of appraisers to locate a licensed appraiser that can conduct a detailed appraisal of the property.
Fill out an offer form. Use an offer to purchase real estate form to document the terms of your offer. This form should include details about the transaction such as the financing terms, deadlines for repairs and inspections and the final closing date. Consider the special conditions, cancellation and dispute resolution policies you may need to include in your offer form to avoid possible legal issues. The offer to purchase form is available online through several different websites. You may also want to hire an experienced real estate attorney to draft or review the form.
Submit your written offer to the seller. The original copy of the offer to purchase form should be delivered directly to the seller. A cashier's check for 1 percent of the sales price or at least $500 must be made out to the seller for earnest money and delivered to their lawyer or title company on the same day.

The Benefits Mutual House Exchange can Offer
Nowadays, the rate at which people seek to move homes is increasingly high. However, a lot of them are not successful in finding the home of their dreams without spending a lot of money due to a number of reasons. It is frustrating for those who want to move either for work reasons or they simply want to get a breather from the overcrowded and noisy nature of towns and cities. This is more common among those people who want to swap homes with others in the same area who may want to relocate to where they are moving from.
If this sounds like you, then you need mutual house exchange. There are some advantages of mutual house exchanges.
First of all, it serves as the link for potential swappers. When looking to swap your home for another in some other area, mutual exchange sites can help you achieve that smoothly and easily. While joining such websites do not give you full guarantee of automatic pairing with those who may need what you are offering but it actually increases your chances and odds of becoming successful.
The second advantage is that you can join if you are a public sector home tenant. It would be easier for you to participate in a house exchange service particularly if you are insured public sector tenant. The reason behind this is your status would make it easier for you to get all the needed paperwork from the landlord who will permit you to list your house for swapping. Once house swapping is completed, both parties can move easily to the house of the other without worrying about reprisal from the landlord.
Another benefit is it offers you with more choices. When joining a mutual house exchange service, you can access a wider range of choice in terms of location, type and size of homes available that you can swap with. The members of this will be able to find the home of their dreams listed on the services and are typically able to complete the process of house swapping minus the hassles or stress.
The last advantage is that you can easily find a home more suitable to all your needs. Often, people settle for less than what they actually want when doing a home swap. But this does not have to be the case with mutual exchange. With this, you can tremendously improve your odds of finding and getting a home that meets your needs as well as your family.
Now, you are given a choice when looking for mutual house exchange. You can either let your council do it for you while you hope they find a home you would want to move to or to activity go out and look for a home that is what you are exactly searching for using an exchange website. Regardless of the service you select, the more effort that you exert in finding a more suitable home, the better the result will be. Once you find that perfect home, you will definitely be happy to put all the work in at the start.
