I tried converting the Windows 10 pre-load on my Lenovo from UEFI/GPT to MBR/EMBR by following the instructions in the Terabyte Knowledge Base article 580, but there is a critical instruction missing, and the result was a system that was unbootable and apparently unrepairable. This was for Windows 10; I don't know whether this also applies to Windows 8/8.1 and/or Windows 7.
Fortunately, I found the missing information in a thread on this web site (my thanks to the person who posted it -- sorry, but I did not record your name). So my second attempt at converting UEFI/GPT to MBR/EMBR (after restoring the image that I had created previously) worked correctly. This is the missing instruction:
(15b) Check the folder "efi" in the root directory of the Windows Recovery Drive (usually a memory stick). If the folder is named "efi", rename it to "efi.old".
If you don't do this, Windows becomes confused and the system won't boot and cannot repair itself.

The Morgan County Sheriff's has for the most part, concluded its investigation into the house fire on Easter Sunday northeast of Brush, which claimed the life of four-year old Andrew Clemons.
The fire started in a living room in the basement of the house next to a bedroom where Amanda Clemmons, Andrew and his five-year old brother, Nathan were staying. The house is owned by Amanda's mother, Rachel Helberg, and her sister, Darcy.
Amanda and the boys had been napping in their room when the other adults smelled smoke and saw smoke coming from a heater vent. They went to the basement and found a fire in the living room. One of the adults tried to put the fire out while everyone else evacuated, but was unsuccessful.
Once the adults were outside, they realized Andrew was not with them and apparently did not follow them out. They were unable to re-enter the house due to the fire conditions and tried to extinguish the fire with a garden hose through the basement window where Andrew was thought to be.
A 911 call was received at 6:28 p.m. and a Brush Fire Officer was on-scene in a personal vehicle at 6:37 p.m., with the first fire truck arriving at 6:43 p.m. Despite protective gear, firefighters fought fire, heavy smoke and zero-visibility to enter the basement to search for Andrew, but they were initially unable to locate him.
His body was found later under debris in the bedroom the three of them had been napping in. An autopsy indicated Andrew died of smoke inhalation and thermal injuries and the amount of carbon monoxide in his system was well above lethal limits.
Sheriff's investigators were able to locate the point of origin of the fire in the basement living room, however an exact cause has not been determined. No electrical source could be identified, nor any other source of heat. Matches were found in the immediate are of the point of origin, however there was also an unused fireplace in that same area. The possibility of one of the boys' playing with matches or a lighter could not be ruled out.
Investigative reports will be submitted to the district attorney's office for a review of the facts to determine any criminal culpability, as is standard in such a case.
The sheriff's office wants to recognize the actions of the volunteer firefighters of the Brush Fire Department for their rapid response and attempts to try and save Andrew, along with Hillrose firefighters, sheriff's deputies and the state patrol.
The family once again wants to express their thanks and gratitude to the many people who have contributed so much to them during this difficult time.
Investigation of Easter Sunday house fire nearly concluded

50 Cent Denies Assault on Ex-Girlfriend
50 Cent is fighting back domestic violence claims from his ex-girlfriend. In a statement released Thursday (July 4), the rapper's attorney, Scott Leemon, says his client denies allegations that he beat his rumored new baby mama and vandalized her condo.
As we previously reported, 50 Cent was hit with five charges, including one count of misdemeanor domestic violence and four counts of misdemeanor vandalism stemming from a June 23 altercation.
According to L.A. City Attorney's Office, Fiddy got into an argument with Daphne Joy and allegedly broke down her bathroom door and then kicked her. He then allegedly destroyed $7,100 worth of items in her condo including chandeliers, furniture and a television.
"Curtis Jackson denies these allegations as made against him," reads the statement from Leemon (via New York Daily News). "It is important to note, Mr. Jackson has not been arrested and there is no warrant outstanding for his arrest."
The 'In Da Club"'rapper is looking at five years in jail if convicted on the aforementioned charges. 50 Cent is due in court on July 22.

I am a private pilot who enjoys flying into Idaho's backcountry airstrips. The airstrips are very in very remote and mountainous parts of the state. They are all grass or gravel and only certain types of aircraft can use them. Therefore, they attract pilots who are into camping, fishing, hunting and - most of all flying! I enjoy being around these kinds of pilots and hearing their stories around the campfire. Many of them are true heros. It is nice to get away where most people can't go. It is stunningly beautiful and untouched by cell phones, computers and the modern world. I love it.
My target audience are pilots who use the Idaho backcountry airstrips. They are 99.5% male. I would say they are very conservative. Obviously, they have some money because they own a private plane. Probably 50% are retired. I would guess that most had (or have) their own business. They may have money, but they are thrifty. Most go to the backcountry to get away and camp. Many are into fishing and hunting. However, I think most go for the camaraderie and to be around like-minded pilots to share stories of past and present flying adventures. These airstrips are very dangerous so, I guess I'd say, generally, the target audience are a bunch of risk takers.
I'm looking for a colorful sticker that the backcountry pilots can put on either their plane or car. I want the sticker to embody the Johnson Creek Airstrip in Idaho. This is the most popular destination for fly-in camping. (However there are many more similar airstrips and I'd like to do a series of stickers that pilots can collect.) I would think it should be no bigger an 5" x 5" although it doesn't have to be square or rectangular. As I said above, my target customer is generally older men who enjoy flying their own private plane and being in the outdoors. Therefore, I was thinking the sticker should both embody Johnson Creek but have a retro, classic look to it that speaks to their memories of when they were younger. I figure this can be achieved through style, fonts and color choices. Classic luggage stickers capture the same kind emotional response I'm looking for. Also, I wold think the classic National Park posters would be a great inspiration. I have also provided photos, maps, and technical data about the airstrip. Obviously, please contact me if you have any questions. I have links to more information an examples but, they don't fit here.

I recently flew on a British Airways flight from Munich to Heathrow and was left speechless by its profligate use of plastic in its meals...
I just returned from a week in Madrid and Munich, delivering trainings for Oracle. Usually such trips barely count as work. I get upgrades because I fly so much and being paid to offer up my "wisdom" to other developers - well, that is a privilege, really. This time, though, it felt distinctly like work, because I lost my voice (caught some sort of illness, then presented for four hours at the Ottawa User Group) just before I flew to Madrid, and over the rest of the week, got sicker and sicker.
Anyway....now I am flying back home. First, I took a British Airways flight from Munich to Heathrow, and now an American Airlines 777 back to Chicago.
On the BA flight, I opened up their magazine and read an article titled:
British Airways shows its green initiative
And the opening paragraph informed us: "British Airways has taken fresh steps to intensify its work in limiting climate change. The airline has unveiled a new carbon offset scheme..." and then it went on to describe several other initiatives.
Well, that sounded interesting (except that I think those carbon offset programs are bogus and mostly used to ease consciences, rather than have any real positive or offsetting effect). And then the flight attendants delivered our meals.
Now, I should explain that airlines in Europe do things very differently from the US these days. This flight (Munich to Heathrow) was only 1.5 hours long. In the US, on a flight that short and even on many longer flights, you will be lucky to get a small bag of nuts or pretzels. You might even have to pay for water.
In Europe, I have been on flights that were under an hour in length and stil lthe flight attendants very aggressively got a meal and drink (including alcohol if you so desire) into our hands. How do they stay in business?
So we got a meal on our flight -- and I was stunned at the contrast between that article ("green initiative") and the meal package. Here's what I got:
A sandwich, small candy bar, little container of milk for coffee or tea. The sandwich was inside a plastic wrap, and that along with everything else was in its own plastic wrap. Lots of plastic. But this was nothing new to me. Seems like the normal BA meal form.
Underneath the sandwich, I found another plastic bag, which usually contains sugar, a stirring stick and napkin. But this bag contained something else.
That's right: another plastic bag that contained within it a plastic bag that we were to use to hold all of our trash when we were done eating our snack! I have never seen anything like this before.
Usually the flight attendants walk down the aisle, pick up our trash, and dump it into a big plastic trash bag.
Today, the BA flight attendants walked down the aisle, pick up our trash bags, and dump them into a bigger plastic trash bag.
So BA has deliberately chosen to add thousands and thousands more plastic bugs to our landfills and oceans. Why, British Airways, why would you do this? Please stop! Or if you are going to do this, then please stop publishing self-congratulatory articles on how green you are!

Author: Jessica Berta (@jeccaberta), Writer, BBH NYC
Certain artists are typecast, sometimes by choice. They capture a style so well that it comes to define them. Author Jonathan Safran Foer falls outside of that camp with a chameleonic thud. He keeps us curious.
In his new book, Tree of Codes, Foer does with a physical book what we often neglect in digital—he turns reading into an experience. In showing how a story's environment affects its meaning, he gives digital storytellers a slap in the face.
Tree of Codes, breaks from the standard book format in two ways:
- It creates a new story by tearing apart and piecing together an old one—Bruno Schulz's The Street of Crocodiles.
- Each page is die-cut to reveal just a handful of words and phrases.
I found the book annoying to read at first, despite its delicate beauty. I couldn't decipher between the page I was reading and the ones beneath it. It was like a depth perception test following a mug of bourbon.
After sobering up and finding a better technique, I enjoyed the layout. Words hovered in a dream-ridden state. Thought went into each line, each phrase and how it was laid out. Such attention to the UX of reading is tough to find on the web. Foer's analog approach would be easy enough to toy with in digital. So why aren't we more playful with narratives online?
Brilliant writing isn't enough to keep readers happy. Long blocks of copy, no matter how poetic, are begging for attention spans to scamper off elsewhere. In a design dominant field, it's easy to neglect voice, tone, even punctuation. Or to forget about how each will figure into a broader environment.
Maybe that's because we get swept up in technology. We use it to tell stories rather than to shape them. The following ideas and executions use technology to influence how stories are read. Bravo! The better ones put UX at the forefront. In doing so, they offer some lessons in communicating creatively.
- We Tell Stories: Bring physical location into the narrative.
- Telescopic Text: Let the reader decide what information to absorb.
- TextArc: Represent text visually.
- The Sweet Old Etcetera: Make static literature kinetic. There are lots more eLiterature examples here.
- Open Bookmarks: Consider the selfish benefits to social reading.
- Ben the Bodyguard: Communicate utility via a character.
- @RuthBourdain: Mix vinegar and oil. Hilarity ensues. (Perhaps a bit off the mark, but a good demo of re-imagining existing voices.)
These concepts and methods fool with language, narrative and technology to entertain. It's humbling to think that a few pieces of paper and an X-Acto knife can do the same.
When we leave room for interpretation and delight, we can expand the playground for digital fiction. We can turn stories into experiences that are unique to each reader. So let's stop neglecting the goddamn words. Pretty please?

Come, Ye Thankful People
31243, Hymns, Come, Ye Thankful People, no. 94
1. Come, ye thankful people, come;
Raise the song of harvest home.
All is safely gathered in
Ere the winter storms begin.
God, our Maker, doth provide
For our wants to be supplied.
Come to God's own temple, come;
Raise the song of harvest home.
2. All the world is God's own field,
Fruit unto his praise to yield,
Wheat and tares together sown,
Unto joy or sorrow grown.
First the blade, and then the ear,
Then the full corn shall appear.
Lord of harvest, grant that we
Wholesome grain and pure may be.

Classic monsters are being revamped into a dark detective flick where Dracula is a crime lord, Frankenstein's monster is a detective and we can only assume the hairless bride of Frankenstein you see here is his sexy undead secretary.
This concept art shows Patrick Tatopoulos' vision for his noir film, based on the comic book by Kevin Grevioux. I like the idea, let's see if they can pull it off without getting too dark or hokey — it's a fine line between The Spirit and Sin City with monsters.

Various methods of printing on a ceramic body by means of a transfer were introduced in England in the 1750s. For printing under the glaze, the earliest and most basic method consisted of applying color—most notably cobalt blue—to an engraved copper plate. From this engraved plate, the design was transferred to a thin paper which was then pressed onto the unglazed surface of a ceramic object before being softened with water and peeled away. The decoration was hardened in a muffle kiln, then glazed and fired again. The resulting decoration had the appearance of an engraved print.
This process of printing on ceramics allowed standardization of decoration, permitting intricate designs to be created quickly and in large quantities. The major centers for the production of English transfer-printed wares were located in pottery centers in the county of Staffordshire and in Liverpool. As early as the late eighteenth century, manufacturers working in these areas realized the potential of the nascent American market and created ceramics decorated with scenes of this country's monuments, both built and natural.

End Is Near
Frank Coppenbarger sent an e-mail yesterday letting everyone know the equipment truck will be leaving for Philadelphia next Friday (30th). Two days later, the team heads north for the regular season.
For some minor leaguers, the end is sooner. Normally, minor league games are played at 1 p.m. at Carpenter Complex but on Saturday, the games will begin at 10 in the morning.
Then, Joe Jordan (Director, Player Development) and the development staff will gather in the second-level conference room. With a week to go, rosters need to be set for the Phillies top four clubs, Lehigh Valley, Reading, Clearwater and Lakewood. 100 players will be needed for those rosters. Another 50 will remain at Carpenter Complex for extended spring training. Others will be placed on the disabled list and remain in Florida for rehab.
Somewhere between 15 and 20 minor league players will be let go. That'll take place early Sunday morning. More cuts could come a week from today.
Most of the bad news will be delivered by Jordan, with Mike Compton (position players), Gorman Heimueller (pitchers) and Carlos Arroyo or Roly deArmas (Hispanic players), joining the one-on-one meetings.
Benny Looper, Assistant GM, Player Development, has been there, done that when he was Director of Player Development for the Mariners. "It is the worst part of the job. It was tough sleeping the night before. All the kids have dreams of playing in the majors and you are telling them those dreams won't happen."
From his experience, some break down and cry, some get angry and others are speechless. Some will catch on with independent league teams. Perhaps a few will sign with another organization although the other 29 clubs are facing the same situation. Most will return home and face a career change. The Phillies provide transportation to the Tampa airport and air fare for the long trip home. Lee McDaniel, Director Minor League Operations, handles those duties.
Around Camp
**Home today, 7:45 a.m. bus Saturday for Ft. Myers (Red Sox), split squad on Sunday (at Lakeland, Tigers) and home (Orioles).
**Domonic Brown was optioned to Lehigh Valley this morning. Phillies minor league INF Tim Kennelly has been added to the major league camp as a non-roster player, wearing #68. Phillies have 40 players in camp.
**Shortstops Miguel Abreu and Troy Hanzawa are in uniform for today's game.
**Monday, another Bright House Field sellout (Red Sox). ESPN will televise.

Fulham have agreed a one-year contract extension with midfielder Mahamadou Diarra.
The Malian, whose former clubs include Real Madrid and Monaco, joined the Cottagers as a free agent in January until the end of the season.
That deal included an option to extend his stay for another year, with the club confirming that the clause has now been activated.
Diarra made 11 appearances last season as Fulham finished ninth in the Barclays Premier League.

|Consistent increases to the educational costs to attend the University of California are the current climate students and families find themselves grappling with. The federal work study program is one program employed to support students and their families in financing the cost of education. In an effort to further enhance the professional literature on the relationship of work on the retention, academic and social integration of undergraduate students at multiple campuses within a highly selective state system, the purpose of this study is to ascertain to what degree work- study positions influences academic and social integration, 4-year graduation rates for work study students, and quantitatively describe work study students satisfaction with their experience at the University of California. ❧ In 1975 Astin published research that found that work study programs could increase student persistence by 15%. He reported that these opportunities provide students with money, experience in the field, and, perhaps most important, networking capabilities for future employment and research possibilities. Is this finding applicable to today's undergraduate student at the University of California? And in light of the theoretical foundations published by Tinto on the importance of academic and social integration on a student's persistence towards degree completion, is there a difference between the integration of work study students and students not in work study positions into the campus community? ❧ The secondary analysis in this study is comparative research and compares the persistence and experience of two groups: students who hold word study positions while enrolled (Group A) and student who do not have work study positions while enrolled (Group B). This act of comparing these two groups identifies if there is a positive or negative effect on students who hold work study positions on their time to degree, their academic and social engagement and satisfaction with their experience at the University of California. ❧ The data revealed the following four findings: first, there is a 5% difference in four-year graduation rates between non work study and work study students; second, work study students are more academically disengaged than non-work study students; third, there is a 8% difference in GPA between the two groups; and finally, there is a 5% difference in perceived value of the education between the two groups. Analysis also showed that there is no statistical difference between the two groups with their overall satisfaction with their college experience. ❧ While these findings are counter to Astin's seminal work, the researcher must acknowledge that the data analyzed was from a single cohort. A deeper look into the relationships identified in this analysis is needed. If the findings are correct, then the implications for practice are focused solely on the work study program, as opposed to financial aid in general. That said, the findings may be a false indicator of what's occurring as there may be a stronger variable influencing the relationship (i.e., wealth, incoming GPA).

From time to time, you will probably be hunting for a gift for your daycare provider. Depending on how well you know her, this can be challenging. There is no one perfect gift that every daycare provider is guaranteed to love. Some love gift certificates, others find them impersonal; one woman loves toiletries, the other can't stand "all that stinky stuff." We're all different, darnit.
I've been a childcare provider for many years now, and I've seen it all -- the good, the bad, and the cringe-inducing. Perhaps my former clients can offer guidance; at the very least there's an opportunity to learn from some of their mistakes. But let's start with the inspirational. These are the three best gifts I have ever received:
1.) The gold standard of all gifts ever received in my professional life: A check.
No, it's not that Mary prefers cold, hard cash as a gift. (Though I have absolutely nothing against it, nuh-uh, not me.) It wasn't the figure on the cheque. It was what this cheque represented. You see, accompanying the cheque was a note:
"This cheque represents a portion of my year-end bonus, which I could not have earned without your help. If I'd been worrying about my daughter's care all day, I couldn't have done the work. With your support, I was able to earn my bonus. It seems only right that you should share it."
That gift has it all, people: respect, value, appreciation. She, like me, has a couple of university degrees. She, unlike me, has a high-intensity, esteem-rich professional career with decent social cachet. And yet, despite the disparity in our professions, to her I'm not just a parking-spot for her child, I'm a valued member of her life team. I have never, before or since, received a gift that meant more.
2.) The personal touch: A wooly scarf.
Doesn't seem like much, perhaps, but it's the context. This woman had noticed that the old scarf I was wearing with my new winter coat didn't really match. So she found some wool that complemented the coat beautifully and knit me one. Her attention to the small personal detail of my new coat and the personal effort of making the scarf was what made this gift one of the top three.
3.) The spontaneous small things: This includes the parent who drops off a coffee along with her child in the morning; the one who surprised me with flowers once in a while; the one who, overhearing me on the phone to the pharmacy in the morning, offers to pick up my daughter's prescription and drop it off at lunch.
The best way to insure that your gift is one that your childcare provider will really treasure is to think about what you know about her as a person, consider how much you value her care of your children (and her contribution to your professional success), and to gift accordingly.

Mt. Airy resident and two-time Republican mayoral candidate Sam Katz will be the featured speaker at next week's Annual Meeting of the Chestnut Hill Community Association on Thursday, April 18.
Katz will speak about his most recent project: "Philadelphia: The Great Experiment," a sweeping seven-part series on the history of the city. Three episodes have been completed in recent years, and the fourth, covering 1965 to 1978, is currently in production. Katz is the series' producer.
The CHCA annual meeting features dinner and a guest speaker. Recent guest speakers have included Councilwoman Cindy Bass and Sister Carol Jean Vale, president of Chestnut Hill College.
Also taking place at the meeting will be the presentation of four community awards to local volunteers.
This year's Chestnut Hill Award for outstanding community service is going to Amy Edelman, owner of Night Kitchen Bakery and founder of Green in Chestnut Hill (GRinCH).
Edelman is being recognized primarily for her efforts with GRinCH, which has worked to promote recycling and basic sustainability practices in the neighborhood. A passage from her award reads as follows:
"Through her many positive contributions, Amy has become a quiet but powerful voice for the future of Chestnut Hill. Residents, business owners, students, and visitors have been enlightened by her efforts, and Philadelphia's Garden District has become truly "greener" for the years to come."
This year's Distinguished Service Award is being awarded to Ed Sheffield for his work with Chestnut Hill Hospital and its Main Street Fair, for his service as the treasurer of the Bird in Hand consignment shop, and his volunteer effort with the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society and the St.v Paul's Episcopal Church Vestry Committee.
"For over 50 years, Ed Sheffield has generously given his time, energy, care, and expertise to many of Chestnut Hill's organizations and institution," reads a paragraph in his award.
This year's Meritorious Service Award is going to Chestnut Hill resident and Chestnut Hill Community Fund treasurer Tolis Vardakis.
Vardakis is a former president of the CHCA and served on its Budget and Finance and Bylaws committees for many years. He is also a member of the Chestnut Hill Rotary Club and is a supporter of Chestnut Hill green spaces: Buckley Park and the Volunteer Memorial Garden.
A paragraph in the award he will receive next Thursday reads:
"Tolis continues tirelessly to serve the CHCA and our community by building relationships between various Chestnut Hill organizations, businesses, and residents. All of us who have worked with him greatly appreciate his efforts," reads.
Finally, the Benefactors Award will go to 84 volunteers who have organized the Black and White Gala since 2003.
"Due to their vision, creativity, and hard work over the years, the Black & White Gala committees have raised many thousands of dollars to support the Chestnut Hill Community Association and Chestnut Hill Community Fund.," reads a portion of that award.
The annual dinner will begin at 6 p.m. and run until 9 p.m. at Chestnut Hill Presbyterian Church, 8855 Germantown Avenue. For reservations call 215-248-8810.

Nebraska Stands Down…For Now
Just a few days ago, it seemed as though in the next few terms the Court would be facing down an unavoidable phalanx of hot-button issues: gay marriage, health care, affirmative action, illegal immigration, and abortion. Today, however, the phalanx may have lost a horseman: the inevitable big abortion case became, well, evitable–kind of.
Back in April, the Nebraska legislature passed a new law, LB 594, that required pregnant women seeking abortions to be screened for a litany of risk factors to determine whether the women would suffer from mental or physical problems following an abortion. In July's Planned Parenthood v. Heineman, Judge Laurie Smith Camp of the U.S. District Court for the District of Nebraska found the bill to create "substantial, likely insurmountable, obstacles in the path of women seeking abortions in Nebraska," and issued a temporary restraining order in enjoining the legislation from coming into effect.
Today, the AP reports that the Nebraska Attorney General has chosen not to appeal:
"It is evident from the judge's ruling (to temporarily block the law from taking effect) that LB594 will ultimately be found unconstitutional," she said. "Losing this case would require Nebraska taxpayers to foot the bill for Planned Parenthood's legal fee."
"We will not squander the state's resources on a case that has very little probability of winning."
While the district court's TRO will now become a permanent injunction, a severability clause in LB 594 allows the rest of the legislation to stand.
Nevertheless, there remains separate bill, LB 1103, which provided for the headline-grabbing ban on abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy–without regard to the woman's health–on the theory that fetuses can feel pain at that gestational point. The provision, says the AP, "is scheduled to go into effect on Oct. 15, but a legal challenge is possible from Bellevue abortion doctor LeRoy Carhart."
Yes, that's the same Carhart from the partial-birth abortion cases of 2000 and 2007, in which the Court sided first for Carhart in striking down a Nebraska law, and then, with Justice Alito's replacement of Justice O'Connor, sided against Carhart in upholding a virtually identical federal law.
If Carhart does bring suit, then the hot-button phalanx lives. The question then will be how the Roberts Court will dispose of these cases if docketed. Might we see a return of the 2006-07 Court, which stacked the docket with ideological blockbusters and pushed the issues rightward? Or will we see a continuation of the Court's past two terms, in which it preserved its political capital for one major gain while finding compromises on issues too explosive to touch. Political factors may determine which Roberts Court we shall see: will the Court be supported by a Republican-controlled Congress? Will these cases come during the 2012 Presidential campaign or after the election?
After much talk, including my own, of this term's rise of the Roberts Court, we may be in for another incarnation sooner than imagined.
CORRECTION: This post originally stated that the two abortion restrictions discussed were part of the same Nebraska bill. That was incorrect. The post has been edited accordingly. Thanks to my professor and mentor, Ken Jost of CQ Researcher, for calling my error to my attention.

For many facilities, such as assisted living facilities and nursing homes, there is a life safety aspect to consider. Other facilities, such as cell tower sites, emergency call centers, and gas stations, have far-reaching social impact and availability is critical.

My wife and I have three kids and they keep us very active. I used to look forward to summers, but since having kids I long for the days when they are in school. When school's in session I know where they are and we have a schedule for them and everything in life is good.
Now that summer is approaching I dread the days when they are holed up at home looking for something to occupy their time. Aside from the reading, sports and summer academic clubs they'll be involved in, they will occasionally want to go swimming. OK, I'll be honest, they'll want to go swimming every day. Our rule is that either my wife or myself have to be there when they are in the pool. Safety is paramount for my youngest who is also our only son. He makes us work for the title of being his parents.
If you are looking for homes this summer and a pool is one of your must-haves, then you'll want to know a few things about being a homeowner with a pool. First things first: Having a home with a pool does not typically make a home worth more.
An appraiser will actually adjust the home's value downward if a pool is present. This is typical because there is a cost associated with owning a home with a pool. Monthly maintenance upkeep costs money, whether you do it yourself or higher a service. Typically, a pool needs to be serviced once a week, with either a cleaning, chemicals or pump service. If you do it yourself you save on the service fee but you will still need to purchase chemicals every month.
Also, pools can sometimes serve as a functional obsolescence. What is a functional obsolescence? A reduction in the usefulness or desirability of an object because of an outdated design feature, usually one that cannot be easily changed. The object in this case would be a backyard. If you are looking in a neighborhood built in the 50s, chances are that if the property has a pool it probably has a small backyard. That is a blanket statement for the purpose of this article. Tract homes built in the 50s were built on small parcels of land. Having a pool in the backyard leaves room for little else. And can it easily be changed? No. And now lets look at some safety issues.
New reports released today from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission reveal that nearly 400 pool and spa drownings occur each year in the United States that involve children younger than 15 years old. and more than 75 percent involve children younger than 5. Government data also indicate that the majority of the fatalities involving children younger than 15 occurred at a residence.
Drowning remains the leading cause of accidental death for children between the ages of 1 and 4 and most of these incidents happen at home, and all of these tragedies are preventable. What can you do to help protect your family? Designate a water watcher every single time children in their care are in or near the water. Make sure kids in their care know how to swim. Learn CPR. When looking at homes for sale with pools make sure they have a proper fence, gate, and safe drain covers. Stay proactive as a homeowner and keep your home up to safety standards. From the smallest to the oldest, everyone needs to be protected and do their part in pool safety.
