Pre-Inspection Home Seller Checklist: Getting Ready for Your Certified Pre-Owned Home Inspection
Over the last couple of weeks, our blog has explored the value of having A-Pro perform a Certified Pre-Owned Home Inspection before putting a property on the market—a great idea that can help you move the home faster, at a higher price, and with fewer headaches. Be sure to check out these past posts if you're a homeowner who's considering this option during this unprecedented seller's market.
For sellers who have already decided that a pre-listing inspection is the smart route to take, we've put together some hints to make sure you get the most out of your comprehensive foundation-to-roof checkup.
Understand the Purpose of the Inspection
Before receiving your pre-listing inspection, it's important to have a firm understanding of the inspector's role in the home-buying/selling process. Many sellers believe a home inspector will issue a "passing" or "failing" grade after examining the house. Others assume that since the home inspector has been hired by the seller, it is the inspector's job to make the home look favorable to potential buyers. On the opposite side, some sellers think inspectors are there to give the home the "white glove test," pointing out every negative they can fit into a report, from the outdated kitchen cabinetry to the neighbor's unsightly front lawn.
Rest assured, none of the above is true.
Sellers receive an unbiased, fair, and balanced report—the same industry-leading assessment that A-Pro Home Inspection has been providing to homebuyers and sellers for more than 27 years. That means the home inspection report highlights the home's positive attributes as well as problem areas, such as defects and systems that are nearing the end of their useful life. No home "passes" or "fails" a home inspection. What you will receive is an honest visual and operational evaluation of the home's condition, inside and outside, covering hundreds of components both large and small.
How you proceed after receiving the inspection report is entirely up to you. With the report in hand, you can choose to make recommended repairs or replacements before listing, or you can make potential buyers aware of issues that will be their responsibility. Cosmetic concerns, such as the style of carpeting and window treatments, will not be part of the inspection.
If the best-case scenario occurs and no problems are found, you now have a documented report—completed by a trained and certified third-party professional—that adds value to your property and gives those placing bids peace of mind that the house has been independently evaluated. Further, the report is fully transferable to the buyer. If there are issues, including safety hazards you weren't aware of, you have the information you need to get the home in top shape.
Attending the Inspection
When a buyer hires a home inspector, it's preferred that the seller vacate the property so the inspection can be performed without interference. But for a pre-listing inspection contracted by the seller, the inspector will encourage the homeowner to be present. Since the seller is more intimately aware of the home's quirks and history, he or she can let the inspector know the best way to access tricky areas; provide immediate answers about the age of systems and equipment (HVAC, roof, etc.); and show documentation of repairs, replacements, and upgrades. Being able to ask the inspector questions as you walk through the home is another huge benefit.
Just as the inspector will be respectful of your property, you, as a seller, must allow the inspector to honestly assess systems in the home without getting in the way. We understand that as a homeowner who takes pride in your property, you may find it difficult to hear anything negative about the house you've worked so hard to maintain. While the seller's insights can be valuable to the home inspection, quibbling about every observation and contradicting the inspector's findings in real-time can make for a long and unproductive inspection. Bottom line: It is important to let the home inspector do his or her job. In the end, all parties will benefit from a fair and accurate assessment.
Before the Inspector Arrives
There are several steps the seller can take to make sure the inspection goes as smoothly as possible:
Ensure that there is clear access to areas that will need to be inspected. For example, remove objects and clutter near water heaters, furnaces, crawl space entrances, etc. The same goes for trimming back vegetation that might make it difficult to view the home's exterior. In the winter, clear snow, if possible, from around the foundation, on the roof, and other areas that may hinder the inspector's ability to complete the inspection.
Send any pets to a friend's or relative's house or, if you can't find anyone willing to provide temporary shelter, make sure dogs, cats, or other pets are crated while the inspector is present. First, the inspector doesn't want to be responsible for a beloved pet running away after opening the wrong door, and second, you don't want to be liable for the inspector being attacked by a pet that is simply protecting its turf.
Never try to hide or cover up defects. If the home inspector doesn't find them, the new homeowner eventually will—and that doesn't benefit anyone.

BEIJING (AP) -- Chinese authorities formally indicted two corporate investigators, an American and Briton, for allegedly illegally obtaining and selling private information, state media reported Monday.
Prosecutors in Shanghai filed charges against British investigator Peter Humphrey and his wife Yingzeng Yu, a U.S. citizen, at the city's No. 1 Intermediate People's Court, the official Xinhua News Agency said. The move paves the way for the couple to stand trial.
The official Xinhua News Agency said it is the first time foreigners have faced such charges in China. Humphrey and Yu are part of an industry of investigators who help corporate clients screen potential partners and employees or watch for embezzlement and other employee misconduct.
The couple's arrest last year coincided with a Chinese investigation of accusations British pharmaceutical company GlaxoSmithKline paid bribes to doctors and officials to use its medications.
Glaxo said it hired Yu and Humphrey last year to investigate a security breach involving a top manager.
According to Xinhua, the couple are accused of illegally selling a "huge amount" of personal information on Chinese citizens, including home addresses, information about family members, details about real estate and vehicles and records of travelers entering and leaving the country.
The investigators are accused of obtaining such information by illegally buying it from others as well as with hidden cameras or by following people, Xinhua said.
Yu and Humphrey would compile the information gathered on the subjects of their investigations and sell the reports to clients that were mainly multinational companies based in China such as GSK China, the report said.

Bank Name: The National Bank of Merrill
State: WI – Wisconsin
Charter Number: 4736
Lifetime: Operated 1892 to 1912 | Total Issue – $565,350
Series: $20 – 1882 Blue Seal National Banknote
Sheets Printed: 2,887
Value: Call, Text, or Email For A Quote | firstname.lastname@example.com | 864-430-4020
Basic Design:
Rarity and Value: Despite saying series of 1882, these were actually printed between 1908 and 1921. So they aren't quite as old as you might think. However, that doesn't mean that they can't be valuable. Your typical range is probably $300 to $1,200. Notes that are rare or especially high grade could certainly be worth more money. Please contact us for details. Don't forget to check the serial number. Number 1 notes always sell for nice premiums.
Current Market Analysis: It is difficult to describe the Wisconsin national bank note market in one word. A huge collection was sold in 2008 and prices were generally thought to be strong then, but the market is likely off of those highs. Different parts of the state and different towns are always hot and other areas just don't seem to have much of a following. We know collectors who only like Wisconsin river towns, or only like towns on the Great Lakes. We don't generally think of Wisconsin as an especially developed state. However, it had 240 national banks in 131 different towns. There are dozens of ways to collect. It all depends on what you like. The notes that sell the best usually have an X factor. That X factor could be the type of note, the serial number, or the signor.
We Are Buyers!!!
We buy all antique paper money issued by The National Bank of Merrill, WI. We can tell you how much your $20 bill is worth. We aren't just dealers. We are also collectors, experts, and appraisers. We have contributed to numerous price guides and are considered specialists in the field of national currency. Contact us via phone or email to get your free appraisal today.

Mitt Romney Is Right
There is no sin greater in a presidential race than telling the truth. Romney is being excoriated for accurately describing the situation in America today. Here are the stats:
* 49% of all Americans pay no federal income tax.
* 47% receive a check from the government of which more than half are means tested welfare checks (Medicaid, welfare, food stamps, etc.).
* 36% of all Americans of working age are either not working or looking for work.
We must remember, however, that a great many of those who receive checks from the government have earned them. Some by their taxes over the years to Social Security and Medicare and others by paying a deeper price by service to their country.
The benefits Romney was talking about are means tested benefits, distributed based on income. All together 100 million Americans receive such benefits (out of a total population of 308 million), these benefits include welfare, food stamps, Section 8 housing, Medicaid and other such programs.
Generalities are always unjust. And painting with broad strokes will do many individuals an injustice. But the fact remains that our electorate is basically bifurcated into those who pay taxes and those who receive benefits.
The danger comes not with the benefit but with the sense of entitlement. Why do so many people feel Romney will be better at improving the economy and yet still plan to vote for Obama? The answer is that they care more about preserving their entitlements than about improving the economy. They have come to rely on political action more than economic growth as the key to their solvency.
Did Romney err in telling it like it is? It would have been better if he had made a forthright, factual statement on the issue. It looks bad for these unpleasant facts to come out in a "gotcha" moment at a videotaped private event. But the fact remains that an Obama reelection would turn the tide psychologically in America from the land of upward mobility through hard work and initiative and toward a country akin to Greece: dependent on government aid in the form of a subsidy and government handouts.
By stating this fundamental truth, albeit off the record, Romney has done a service for which he should be praised not excoriated. It all boils down to what John Kennedy said: There are those who ask what their country can do for you, and those who ask what you can do for your country.

CBS/AP October 7, 2018, 7:45 AM Brawl erupts at UFC 229 after Khabib chokes out McGregor
LAS VEGAS — A few seconds after Conor McGregor tapped Khabib Nurmagomedov's arm and submitted to the champion's choke, Nurmagomedov climbed the cage and leaped at the men in McGregor's corner, setting off a prolonged brawl inside and outside the octagon.
A seminal moment in mixed martial arts was immediately overshadowed by a tawdry ending Saturday night when the UFC's infuriated lightweight champion took his conflict with McGregor beyond their bout.
McGregor tapped out in the fourth round of his comeback fight at UFC 229 against Nurmagomedov, who then scaled the cage and scuffled with another fighter manning McGregor's corner. Meanwhile, two men apparently from Nurmagomedov's entourage climbed into the cage and attacked McGregor, who defended himself before security personnel separated everyone.
Order was restored with no apparently serious injuries, but the scuffles immediately dwarfed one of the biggest and most lucrative shows in UFC history.
"Been doing this for 18 years, and (on) the biggest night ever, I couldn't be more disappointed," UFC President Dana White said. "I'm not even mad. I'm just really disappointed."
Nurmagomedov's purse has been withheld by the Nevada Athletic Commission pending an investigation, White said. He also claimed three members of Nurmagomedov's camp were detained and released by police because McGregor refused to press charges against them.
White acknowledged the UFC might strip its title from Nurmagomedov (27-0), a Dagestan-born Russian fighter who trains in San Jose, California.
"If he gets suspended, it depends on how long his suspension is," White said. "And if it's a long suspension, yeah, he's probably going to get it stripped."
Nurmagomedov appeared briefly at a post-fight news conference after midnight. He apologized to the Nevada State Athletic Commission, saying the brawl was "not my best side," but also condemned McGregor's barbed pre-fight taunts.
"You cannot talk about religion," Nurmagomedov said. "You cannot talk about nation. You cannot talk about this now."
Nurmagomedov also said he got a congratulatory phone call from Russian President Vladimir Putin, who "told me he is very proud of me."
The wild scene occurred after McGregor (21-4) got caught in a choke by Nurmagomedov, who punctuated this simmering rivalry with an impressive victory over the superstar who infamously attacked a bus carrying Nurmagomedov in Brooklyn last April. McGregor shattered the bus windows with a hand truck because he was angry about Nurmagomedov confronting one of his teammates earlier in the week.
The post-fight trouble started when the Russian champion from Dagestan stepped away from the prone McGregor and immediately pointed at the Irishman's corner, shouting and throwing his mouthpiece.
The men in McGregor's corner appeared to respond with taunts, and Nurmagomedov climbed over the fence and fought with Dillon Danis, a Bellator welterweight who trains with McGregor.
One of the two men who attacked McGregor in the cage was widely identified as Zubaira Tukhugov. The Chechen featherweight is scheduled to fight in three weeks against Artem Lobov, the McGregor team member who was confronted by Nurmagomedov in April.
White said if Tukhugov was the man in the ring, he will never fight again for the UFC.
Nurmagomedov and McGregor both left the ring before the championship belt could be put around Nurmagomedov's waist, and fans in the pro-Conor crowd threw beers and debris at Nurmagomedov on his way out. White said he feared a melee in an arena if he awarded the belt to Nurmagomedov.
"I don't even know what to say right now," White said. "I'm just disgusted and sick over it. … We had so much security and (police) here. I didn't see that one coming."
UFC heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier is Nurmagomedov's teammate at their gym in San Jose, and he calmed Nurmagomedov after the bout.
"Two wrongs don't make it right," Cormier tweeted after the brawl. "Conor didn't deserve that. No one did. But some things aren't for fight promotion. Religion, family, country. Throwing stuff in Brooklyn. For Khabib it wasn't fight promotion, it was really personal. Diff culture man."
Nurmagomedov and McGregor made no secret of their mutual loathing in the past few months, and the UFC used footage of McGregor's attack on the bus to promote UFC 229, which could be the best-selling pay-per-view card in UFC history. McGregor lobbed several creative insults at Nurmagomedov during the promotion of this matchup, including labeling Nurmagomedov's manager, Ali Abdelaziz, as a "snitch terrorist rat."
McGregor was arrested after seriously hurting two other fighters with broken glass from the bus attack in Brooklyn, but Nurmagomedov shrugged it off and won the lightweight title by beating Al Iaquinta. When McGregor agreed to return to the UFC, he eagerly accepted Nurmagomedov as his opponent.
Before the post-fight madness, Nurmagomedov firmly asserted his grappling dominance over McGregor's striking skill in the Irish superstar's first MMA bout in 23 months. McGregor hadn't been in a fight since losing his boxing match with Floyd Mayweather last year, and Nurmagomedov proved an insurmountably tough opponent for his comeback.
McGregor's dislike for Nurmagomedov likely fueled his decision to take a fight that created a difficult stylistic matchup for him. McGregor's strength is his striking, while Nurmagomedov is one of the most dominant grapplers in UFC history.
Four security guards separated the fighters while they didn't touch gloves before the bout, and Nurmagomedov went for a takedown in the opening minute while dominating the opening round.
Nurmagomedov staggered McGregor with a right hand early in the second round, but McGregor got up and landed a flying knee. Nurmagomedov made another takedown and steadily improved his position throughout a dominant round, eventually standing and raining down blows on the prone McGregor.
Nurmagomedov decided to stand and strike with McGregor in the third round, apparently unafraid of McGregor's famed power. McGregor landed several significant shots, but Nurmagomedov took them and eventually reasserted control against the cage.
McGregor did decent work in the fourth round before Nurmagomedov got control, climbed on McGregor's back and finally submitted the former two-division champion.
All three judges' scorecards favored Nurmagomedov 29-27, with the champion winning the second round 10-8 on all three cards. McGregor won the third round on every card.
Before the main event, former interim 155-pound champion Tony Ferguson staked his claim to be the next contender for the lightweight belt with a thrilling stoppage victory over Anthony Pettis. Even Ferguson realized that anything he had done wouldn't get much attention.
"You've got these two knuckleheads over here making the sport look bad," Ferguson said. "What I'm doing is cleaning up the sport. They want to be animals in there? I'm the dogcatcher."

By BEV HARRIS, founder of BLACK BOX VOTING
Black Box Voting forums, archives, documents shut down through denial of service attacks; also, see below for update on current indictments and law enforcement investigations pertaining to the voting machine industry and a tampered election.
The vast, carefully-organized, and important ten-year work product at BlackBoxVoting.org was attacked by an unprecedented and relentless wave of denial of service attacks this month. At this time, the entire body of work has become inaccessible to the public except for a few articles on the new home page.
I had the body of the website redesigned and transferred it to a new hosting company, and I am in the process of transferring all archived material from the old site, using backup files, to a new location.
I ask for your special support with a donation: http://www.blackboxvoting.org/donate.html
It would be a great shame to lose all the wonderful work submitted by so many dedicated election integrity advocates, and it will be a significant undertaking to rebuild the site.
Black Box Voting depends needs, and tremendously appreciates your support: Black Box Voting: 330 SW 143rd St Suite K, PMB 547, Renton WA 98057
It has been 9 years since Black Box Voting was attacked to deny access to our material. Frankly, I'm surprised that it has happened again, amazed at the level of vigor and the evidence of wave after wave targeted specifically Black Box Voting files.
After some thought, I realized there is a silver lining in this. It provides an important opportunity to review and synthesize all the random material that has accumulated over the last 10 years at Black Box Voting, to make it easily understood, better organized, and more accessible. The body of work for each state, when transferred from my backup files to the new location, will now include a brief 1200-word summary with a drill-down menu linking to all other material.
I'd like for you to see an example. As of midnight tonight, as the New Year begins, I invite you to see what we are doing to help protect 2014 elections. Take a look at the first sample state here: http://blackboxvoting.org/reports/wyoming2014/
I think you'll agree that, together with the over 100 files from our extensive archive which support the analysis, it is a significant improvement over our previous information delivery.
Now, if you have information you feel is important for any state, please send it to me directly:
-- The next state to go live at the new Black Box Voting will be Texas, followed by Florida and then Illinois. Each state features an identical format:
(a) Brief analysis synthesizing all available material for that location;
(b) Special areas of concern for 2014;
(c) Solutions and positive progress for that state;
(d) Past irregularities;
(e) Link to complete body of archived research for that location, drawn from backup files for the extensive Black Box Voting archives.
Every report now has drill-down links for vendors, key people by name, organizations, concepts, voting system types, costs, and so forth. A master index will soon help you find whatever you need. Timelines help provide visual representations of the erosion of transparency, as well as the courageous efforts by citizens to fight for these rights.
After Wyoming, Texas, Florida and Illinois, and based on the calendar of next upcoming elections, the analysis and full archive for your state will appear in the following order, based on upcoming primary election calendars:
District of Columbia; Indiana, North Carolina, Ohio, Nebraska, West Virginia, Arkansas, Georgia, Idaho, Kentucky, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Alabama, California, Iowa, Mississippi, Montana, New Jersey, New Mexico, South Dakota, Maine, Nevada, North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, Colorado, Maryland, New York, Oklahoma, Utah, Kansas, Michigan, Missouri, Washington, Tennessee, Hawaii, Connecticut, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Alaska, Arizona, Vermont, Delaware, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island.
So please, if you have information you want to see included for your state, now is an excellent time to send it along!
Well, Diebold, for one. Diebold has been charged with corruption and bribery.
Black Box Voting was approached a couple years ago by yet another Diebold whistleblower, this one an ex-employee with knowledge of false invoicing for voting machine procurement and training. So that you can recognize false invoicing schemes near you, if you see them, I have included more information on kickback laundering techniques here: http://www.blackboxvoting.org/money/
We're not the cops. I provided the information to the Dept. of Justice through an intermediary, a former US DoJ investigator who I believed would carry more weight than I. At my urging, the whistleblower also provided the information to the U.S. Election Assistance Commission, the agency that doled out the funds, though I am skeptical whether that accomplished anything. What happened next? Diebold contacted the whistleblower with an offer to "help" him -- my interpretation of that: pay him to shut up. I never heard from him again, but his information has been propagated to where it needs to go.
I am aware of another Dept. of Justice investigation now, specifically targeting invoice fraud for one of the major vendors. I am currently collecting documents to help investigators with that.
In a 2006 case, Black Box Voting reported on a cover-up in a murder investigation, combined with apparent election fraud for a county sheriff's race. Black Box Voting worked with local citizens to improve election monitoring in that location, and the sheriff later won his election in 2010; I was on site for that election and assisted in training a team of election watchers. The "new sheriff in town" reopened the murder investigation in 2011 after taking office, bringing in a cold case specialist. The arrest for the now-10-year-old murder case took place this year, announced in October 2013. I hope to attend the trial, and when that happens, I will have the freedom to report more explicitly on this.
Why so vague with the details on law enforcement investigations? Because writing about it just helps the perp take evasive action. Both the Diebold case and the murder case are currently pending in criminal courts.
As you know, we are a very small, but important organization. I thank you for your support over the years and look forward to even more effective action throughout 2014.
I hope you will continue to support Black Box Voting.

Just in time for Halloween, this post was part of the Terror TV Blogathon hosted by the Classic TV Blog Association. There are tons of creepy reads ahead, so check out what's scary to others in the association by clicking here. Oh, and enjoy! Let's roll...
Network: ABC
Original Airdate: October 27th, 1970
Although it has been many years since I read Barbara Michael's excellent Ammie, Come Home, which The House that Would Not Die (aka The House that Wouldn't Die) is based on, I remember it as a chilling and fascinating novel. Michaels, whose real name was Barbara Mertz, earned a PhD in Egyptology from the University of Chicago before becoming a best selling author, writing under the names of Michaels, and Elizabeth Peters. As Michaels, she often dove into Gothic ghost stories, brilliantly weaving her knowledge of the research process she had developed while acquiring her doctorate, incorporating the fascinating "brick and mortar" historical interrogation methods into the mystery solving her characters engaged in. The ABC Movie of the Week adaptation, written by Henry Farrell (a fellow novelist who also penned the screenplay for the excellent TVM The Eyes of Charles Sand) somehow manages to maintain some of the authenticity of that process while also indulging in the many supernatural thrills that made the novel so compelling.
Barbara Stanwyck makes her telefilm debut as Ruth Bennett, an elegant and independent woman who inherits a beautiful but remote house from a distant relative. Taking her lovely niece, Sara (Kitty Winn) along for the ride, the duo decides to set up house for a bit, but soon find out something is already living there.
That's the basic premise of this simple but suspenseful ghost tale that also interweaves some charming romance elements (along with a few rapey ones, but we'll get to that) for Ruth, and a professor named Pat (Richard Egan, also making his TV movie debut), as well as for Sara with a cutie pie named Stan (Michael Anderson Jr., and his moustache). Following the original storyline beats of Ammie, House kicks of quickly with a nifty séance, before embarking on a slow burn film about possession, lost love, and grief, leading to a surprisingly moving ending.
The hauntings, which are classic even by the standards of 1970, begin early on, as a male voice cries "Ammie, come home," in the wee hours of the night. Soon after, Sara takes a peculiar turn, becoming terrified of Pat, who is also acting curiously, and sometimes violently when inside the house. Based on my memory, the novel and film depart mostly in terms of the location. Ammie takes place in the busy and stately D.C. neighborhood of Georgetown, where the neighbors are literally yards away from the chaos. House is out in the middle of no man's land, where help isn't simply a scream away, feeding into a real sense of seclusion. While the more urban setting of Ammie works wonderfully in the novel, I really like the isolated locale in House.
Like most telefilms, House is not overtly violent, but manages to bring on the creep factor in several scenes. One of the most jaw dropping ones occurs relatively early when Pat forces himself on Ruth. It is an uncomfortable moment meant to express that Pat is no longer himself, but it does tap into some very real fears of that pushy date you dread but have probably encountered. Ruth somehow manages to forgive Pat, and that he is being taken over by a spirit helps the audience also come back to loving him, but that scene still stands out as a realistically terrifying moment.
And, House has atmosphere to spare. Going back to the location, the howling winds that rattle around the house give the film a sense of unease. The séance is, like all séances are in my opinion, awesome, and Winn is excellent as the possessed victim. There are a few supporting characters, but House relies heavily on the four leads to carry the film. Stanwyck and Egan are the standouts as the couple fighting off ghosts while sometimes fighting off their feelings for each other, but with pros like that, can anyone else expect to upstage those two? Well, Stanwyck's gorgeous oh-so-seventies wardrobe almost does. It's the height of middle aged glamour and she looks beautiful showing off one majestic frock after another.
Spelling and Stawyck actually had a long and fruitful history together, beginning in 1968 with the Zane Grey Theater episode Trail to Nowhere, which Stanwyck appeared in and which Spelling produced. Afterwards, the two worked on The Dick Powell Theatre episode Special Assignment (1962), before Stanwyck made her telefilm debut in House. Afterwards she got a bit more sinister in the 1971 TVM A Taste of Evil, and then in 1973 starred in The Letters. She also played Toni in the gender bending Charlie's Angels episode Toni's Boys and then took a gig as Constance Colby on both Dynasty and in The Colbys. Stanwyck had already put in years of spellbinding professional work, but her more fanciful gigs with Spelling are memorable and wonderful. TV looked so good on her, and Spelling loved working with classic Hollywood, and did right by them (if I do say so myself).
But let's not forget the other man behind the camera, John Llewellyn Moxey, who also directed Stanwyck in A Taste of Evil. The journeyman director knew how to make more out of less, and he maintains an economical but genuinely claustrophobic ambiance, especially in the possession scenes. There is something so charming about House, but in all honestly, it isn't just nostalgia that makes this film a true ABC Movie of the Week classic, it's just really simple and solid, almost perfecting that dark and stormy night watching that made so many of the MOWs so damn entertaining. In short, the goods are for real.
I was surprised to read that Ammie is actually a part of a trilogy of novels Michaels wrote, which is known as the Georgetown trilogy. According to this great article by Natalie Luhrs on Pretty Terrible, in the follow up, titled Shattered Silk, Michaels brings back Pat and Ruth, although the novel now follows another one of Ruth's nieces named Karen who finds herself solving an old murder mystery. The third novel, Stitches in Time doesn't keep it in the family, instead making the protagonist a friend of Karen's named Rachel, and involves a cursed quilt. Honestly, you can't go wrong with the novel or its small screen adaptation. It's creepy good times for the Halloween season!

BOSTON (AP) — A former assistant soccer coach at the University of Southern California switched her plea to guilty Tuesday in the college admissions scam, admitting to creating fake athletic profiles for the children of wealthy parents, including actress Lori Loughlin and fashion designer Mossimo Giannulli.
Laura Janke, 36, has agreed to cooperate with prosecutors and could be called to testify against others, including "Full House" star Loughlin and Giannulli, who have pleaded not guilty.
Janke had initially pleaded not guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit racketeering in March. She pleaded guilty after reaching a plea deal.
She has also agreed to pay a nearly $135,000 forfeiture judgment, which prosecutors said equals the amount she benefited from in the scheme.
Prosecutors said Tuesday that they are seeking a sentence of 27 to 33 months in prison, though the charge carries a maximum of 20 years. The Los Angeles resident will be sentenced Oct. 17.
Janke spoke in court only to answer the judge's yes or no questions and declined through her lawyer to comment after the hearing.
Janke is the fourth coach to plead guilty in what authorities say is the biggest college admissions scheme ever prosecuted in the U.S. She accepted bribes and helped make bogus athletic profiles to get applicants admitted to universities as recruits for sports they didn't play, authorities said.
One of the fake profiles was for Olivia Jade Giannulli, a YouTube star and the youngest daughter of Loughlin and designer Giannulli. The profile portrayed the teenager as a competitive rower even though she didn't play the sport, prosecutors said. She was ultimately admitted to USC as a crew recruit.
Loughlin and Giannulli have pleaded not guilty to paying $500,000 in bribes to get their daughters into USC. They haven't commented publicly and their lawyers and representative didn't respond to an email seeking comment on Tuesday's developments.
In court, prosecutors said bribes totaling more than $300,000 were sent to the accounts of private summer soccer camps run by Janke and former USC women's soccer head coach Ali Khosroshahin, who is also a defendant.
When she left the university in 2014, Janke continued working on the scheme, helping create many of the fake athletic profiles cited in the case, authorities said. Those profiles were used to gain students admission not just at USC, but also at Stanford and Yale.
In one instance, Janke created a bogus profile for the daughter of Toby MacFarlane, a former senior executive at a title insurance company, which described her as a "US Club Soccer All American," prosecutors said. MacFarlane's daughter graduated from USC last year without ever playing at the school.
Janke also created a fake athletic profile for MacFarlane's son that described him as over 6 feet tall when he was really 5 feet 5, authorities said. His son didn't play basketball at USC and withdrew from the school last year, they said.
Former Yale women's soccer coach Rudy Meredith, former Stanford sailing coach John Vandemoer and former Texas at Austin men's tennis coach Michael Center have already pleaded guilty in the sweeping case.
A total of 50 people have been charged, including 33 parents, 10 coaches and college athletics officials, and seven others accused of orchestrating bribes or a separate scheme to cheat on college entrance exams.
Most of the coaches face charges of conspiracy to commit racketeering, while most parents face charges of conspiracy to commit mail fraud.
On Monday, actress Felicity Huffman
pleaded guilty to paying $15,000 to rig her daughter's SAT score in the scheme.

The challenge for new skin lighteners is to demonstrate innovative pathways of melanin synthesis inhibition while ensuring skin tolerance. One way to meet this challenge is to decrease melanogenesis by decreasing tyrosinase activity in melanocytes as well as inhibiting melanosome maturation. Furthermore, developing a skin lightener with components known for their high skin tolerance assures safe long-term daily use. In the present study, this dual biological pathway approach produced a visible reduction in skin pigmentation, which is demonstrated in a clinical test on Asian skin types.
A skin lightener was developed incorporating pea extract and sucrose dilaurate as the active components. P. sativum (pea) extract is a recognized cosmetic ingredient with antiaging and moisturizing properties. Sucrose dilaurate is a sucrose fatty acid ester with a history of use in the food industry as an emulsifier. These actives were identified during a search for melanogenesis inhibitors whose mechanism of action was neither direct tyrosinase inhibition nor oxidation inhibition, which are the mechanisms of the main skin-lightening agents such as arbutin, kojic acid and vitamin C derivatives. Because the functionality of the compound depends on both pea extract and sucrose dilaurate, the term PEAS will be used throughout this article to refer to this skin-whitening compound.
A series of tests evaluated both the efficacy of the two active ingredients and the efficacy of the PEAS compound containing them. These tests are described next and constitute the remainder of this article.

In a letter published on the Brees Dream Foundation website, the Saints Quarterback asks for patience and denies knowledge or involvement in the bounty scandal:
This has been an eventful offseason for me and my family. Brittany and I would like to thank all of you for the thoughtful words and well wishes since we announced that baby boy #3 is on the way. While we were all disappointed with the way the season ended, the offseason has given us the opportunity to reflect back on what was a truly memorable year. It has also given me the opportunity to enjoy some much needed quality time with my family.
I do feel a responsibility to my teammates, the Saints organization and to the fans, to address the "Bounty" allegations.
There is no place in the National Football League, or any sport played at any level, for players to conspire, to be coerced, or to be incentivized to intentionally injure another player. I did not participate in any Bounty program, nor did I have any knowledge relating to its real existence. I have spent the last several years as an Executive Committee Member of the NFLPA making health and safety a priority and I am proud of the advancements we've made and will continue to make.
As a leader of our football team, I feel comfortable in stating that I know well the integrity of our organization from the ownership level, to management, our head coach, and the players on our team. We, as Saints players, pride ourselves on playing this game with honor and hold ourselves to a very high standard. We also share a great sense of responsibility to our community and to each other, a strong belief in our purpose, a resiliency to overcome adversity and a work ethic and commitment to leave things better than we found them.
The accusations and perceptions alone created by this issue make us feel like we should all apologize to the young people that love our game and aspire to be in our shoes. Regardless of the outcome of the "bounty" issue, we owe it to them to provide the best example of how to behave as professionals and more importantly, as people of integrity.
To our fans, please reserve judgment until the investigation is complete and the facts in their entirety are known. We are all working diligently to find the truth in this matter and if the facts prove there was improper behavior, we will hold ourselves accountable. Until that time, we will stand together and remain united as an organization.
Thank you for your support.

If you thought gas prices will never stop rising, just wait until you see what happens to electricity after the Barack Obama's EPA gets its way. The agency will deliver on Obama's election promise to bankrupt any new coal-fired electrical production in its first-ever regulations on greenhouse-gas emissions, the Washington Post reports. The new regulatory regime will all but guarantee that new coal-fired plants won't be built to replace others shutting down:
The Environmental Protection Agency will issue the first limits on greenhouse gas emissions from new power plants as early as Tuesday, according to several people briefed on the proposal. The move could end the construction of conventional coal-fired facilities in the United States.
The proposed rule — years in the making and approved by the White House after months of review — will require any new power plant to emit no more than 1,000 pounds of carbon dioxide per megawatt of electricity produced. The average U.S. natural gas plant, which emits 800 to 850 pounds of CO2 per megawatt, meets that standard; coal plants emit an average of 1,768 pounds of carbon dioxide per megawatt.
Industry officials and environmentalists said in interviews that the rule, which comes on the heels of tough new requirements that the Obama administration imposed on mercury emissions and cross-state pollution from utilities within the past year, dooms any proposal to build a coal-fired plant that does not have costly carbon controls.
"This standard effectively bans new coal plants," said Joseph Stanko, who heads government relations at the law firm Hunton and Williams and represents several utility companies. "So I don't see how that is an 'all of the above' energy policy."
Well, it's not, obviously. Nor has Obama ever honestly intended to apply an "all of the above" energy policy; he mouths the words, but his actions are hostile to hydrocarbon-based energy. The most honest discussion on energy policy from Obama came in the January 2008 interview with the San Francisco Chronicle, in which he promised to bankrupt new coal-based facilities:
The problem is not technical, uh, and the problem is not mastery of the legislative intricacies of Washington. The problem is, uh, can you get the American people to say, "This is really important," and force their representatives to do the right thing? That requires mobilizing a citizenry. That requires them understanding what is at stake. Uh, and climate change is a great example.
You know, when I was asked earlier about the issue of coal, uh, you know — Under my plan of a cap and trade system, electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket. Even regardless of what I say about whether coal is good or bad. Because I'm capping greenhouse gases, coal power plants, you know, natural gas, you name it — whatever the plants were, whatever the industry was, uh, they would have to retrofit their operations. That will cost money. They will pass that money on to consumers.
They — you — you can already see what the arguments will be during the general election. People will say, "Ah, Obama and Al Gore, these folks, they're going to destroy the economy, this is going to cost us eight trillion dollars," or whatever their number is. Um, if you can't persuade the American people that yes, there is going to be some increase in electricity rates on the front end, but that over the long term, because of combinations of more efficient energy usage, changing lightbulbs and more efficient appliance, but also technology improving how we can produce clean energy, the economy would benefit.
If we can't make that argument persuasively enough, you — you, uh, can be Lyndon Johnson, you can be the master of Washington. You're not going to get that done.
This leads us to the natural-gas option mentioned by the Post. The response might be, "Well, okay, Obama's bankrupting the coal industry, but we can still use natural gas." That's only true if we can get the natural gas. The EPA has also begun blocking the use of hydraulic fracturing, better known as fracking, which allows for massive improvement in extraction and access to vast amounts of natural gas. Note well that Obama included natural gas among those sources to which his policies would be hostile, and so far he's proving it.
Obama has no interest in an "all of the above" policy on energy. He wants to drive up energy costs in order to make his favored alternatives somewhat competitive, even though none of them can match the production scope of hydrocarbon sources that are found in abundance in the US. Obama has less interest in producing power than in exercising it, and Congress needs to put shackles on this EPA before working-class families have to start lighting candles rather than flipping on the light switch.

While car manufacturers have been releasing new models with turbochargers as power adders, they have actually been around for quite awhile. Recently turbos were added to the Ford Focus and Fiesta engines, and even the trucking F-150. Turbos gain their power by using the exhaust gases to spin a turbine to help compress the incoming air to the engine. The denser the air, the more power the engine can make.
With the right engine, today's shade tree mechanic could add their own turbocharger to easily increase the power. Completely spec'd kits are available, or you could piece out the individual parts.
Grand National Turbos
Buicks made a case for the turbos with their 1984 Regal Grand National and gained quite a following, until they stopped production in 1987. Another early innovator was the Corvair, that offered a turbo in 1962 to help polish their "sporty" image. The turbo charged Spyder engine made 150 horses as an option for the Corvair Monza coupes and convertibles.
Jetfire Turbos
But Oldsmobile rushed out their Jetfire to be the first turbocharged engine offering to the American motoring public in 1962. The Jetfire was a spin off on the F-85 Oldsmobile hardtop. It came with a 215 CI V-8 engine with a Garrett turbocharger making 215 horses (one horsepower per cubic inch of displacement). To avoid deadly detonation, the owners had to blend in a water and methanol mixture of "Rocket Fluid". The other performance engine from Olds, without the turbo, was the same 215 CI engine but with just a four barrel carburetor. it could only offer up 185 horsepower.
A 1962 Oldsmobile Jetfire was recently offered on eBay and the red exterior mimicked the sales brochures from the day. The owner indicated it is a ground up restoration but with a few items still needing a look at. The owner installed a new turbocharger and added in air conditioning for comfort.
So when your neighbor pops the hood on his Ford Fiesta ST and brags about his beastly turbo on his three cylinder engine, you can tell him that turbos are old school too.

Emacs can display text in several different styles, called faces. Each face can specify various face attributes, such as the font, height, weight, slant, foreground and background color, and underlining or overlining. Most major modes assign faces to the text automatically, via Font Lock mode. See Font Lock mode, for more information about how these faces are assigned.
To see what faces are currently defined, and what they look like, type M-x list-faces-display. With a prefix argument, this prompts for a regular expression, and displays only faces with names matching that regular expression (see Syntax of Regular Expressions).
It's possible for a given face to look different in different
frames. For instance, some text terminals do not support all face
attributes, particularly font, height, and width, and some support a
limited range of colors. In addition, most Emacs faces are defined so
that their attributes are different on light and dark frame
backgrounds, for reasons of legibility. By default, Emacs
automatically chooses which set of face attributes to display on each
frame, based on the frame's current background color. However, you
can override this by giving the variable frame-background-mode
a non-nil
value. A value of dark
makes Emacs treat all
frames as if they have a dark background, whereas a value of
makes it treat all frames as if they have a light
You can customize a face to alter its attributes, and save those customizations for future Emacs sessions. See Customizing Faces, for details.
The default
face is the default for displaying text, and all
of its attributes are specified. Its background color is also used as
the frame's background color. See Colors for Faces.
Another special face is the cursor
face. On graphical
displays, the background color of this face is used to draw the text
cursor. None of the other attributes of this face have any effect;
the foreground color for text under the cursor is taken from the
background color of the underlying text. On text terminals, the
appearance of the text cursor is determined by the terminal, not by
the cursor
You can also use X resources to specify attributes of any particular face. See X Resources.
Emacs can display variable-width fonts, but some Emacs commands, particularly indentation commands, do not account for variable character display widths. Therefore, we recommend not using variable-width fonts for most faces, particularly those assigned by Font Lock mode.

grilled pork belly with cranberry-vermouth sauce, broccoli rabe, trumpet mushrooms, and roasted potatoes, originally uploaded by aarn! +13th February, 2010+.
seared off some sliced trumpet mushrooms and sauteed with some broccoli rabe. roasted up some potatoes which had been tossed in some olive oil salt and pepper. vadim made a sauce with some dried cranberries and antica vermouth (his original idea was the "pork manhattan," but he ended up with cranberries instead of cherries somehow...oh yeah, and there weren't any bitters...so that didn't work out). grilled up some pork bellies which had been previously sous vide for 4hrs or so in lard with a few sprigs of thyme and some cloves of garlic, salt and pepper. nice write-up, right? sometimes the details escape you.
[note: most of this meal was made by vadim. we had been experimenting with the bot' pot and the pork bellies a week or so before, so we needed to eat them. oh, and the photo is bad. just wanted to blog it for the record.]

During the Ceremonial Swearing-In event a few blocks from The White House, the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation, Inc., honored Rep. Cedric L. Richmond (D-La.), the new chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) and members of the CBC that will serve during the 115th Congress.
A. Shuanise Washington, the president and CEO of the CBCF, said that 115th Congress will have the largest CBC in history with 49 members.
"While the CBC grows in numbers, there remains a lack of diversity and inclusion when it comes to senior staff placement in senate and congressional offices," said Washington. "The CBCF is committed to doing its part to change the landscape of Capitol Hill and we're doing so with one of our newest initiatives: Emerge 535."
Launched in 2013, the Emerge 535 program will enable the CBCF to expand opportunities for young people of color by providing 535 scholarships and fellowships to work on Capitol Hill.
During her comments at the CBC ceremony, House Minority leader Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) blasted Republican lawmakers for blocking President Barack Obama's last Supreme Court justice nominee and efforts to pass an updated Voting Rights Act (VRA).
Pelosi also noted the irony in the fact that some of the same Republicans, who attended the opening of the National Museum of African American History and Culture and the fiftieth anniversary of "Bloody Sunday" in Selma, Ala., refused to work with Democrats on Capitol Hill to restore the protections of the VRA.
"It's not about Democrats, it's not about Republicans, it's about America," said Pelosi. "The greatness of America is affected by how [Republicans] have rejected the ability of our president to appoint a [Supreme Court] justice, how they have rejected our calls for correcting the injustice of the Supreme Court decision [in Shelby v. Holder]. It's all about justice."
Pelosi called the CBC the "conscience of the Congress and indeed of the country," and she added that it was exciting to see that some of the newest members of the CBC were representing districts who had never elected a Black lawmaker to serve in the U.S. Congress.
The newest members of the CBC are: Senator Kamala Harris, who is California's first African American senator; Rep. Val Demings (D-Fla.); Rep. Lisa Blunt-Rochester (D-Del.), the first African American and woman to serve in Congress from Delaware; Rep. Anthony Brown (D-Md.); Rep. Dwight Evans (D-Pa.) and Rep. Donald McEachin (D-Va.).
After the ceremonial oath of office was performed, outgoing Chairman G.K. Butterfield (D-N.C.) said that 2016 is now in our rearview mirror.
"We find ourselves facing a difficult, political and legislative environment, unlike any that we have ever seen before, but I promise you that the CBC will rise to the occasion and we will meet these new challenges," said Butterfield. "The consequences are too enormous for us to be indecisive and to allow conservative forces and forces of the alt-right to defend our nation. We will be strategic and we will be unified in our work."
While many of the CBC members are "baby boomers," Butterfield said that there is no question that Richmond, who is a part of Generation X, is well-suited and well-prepared to lead the CBC in confronting these new challenges.
During his remarks at the ceremonial swearing-in event, Richmond said that CBC members represent 78 million Americans, 24 percent of the population and 17 million Blacks representing 41 percent of the African American population in this country.
"There are many Americans, especially Black Americans, who can't understand how we got hear today, coming off eight years of hope, pride and inspiration," said Richmond. "They are fearful of the current state of division, hate and pettiness.
Richmond continued: "Many of our young people are frustrated with the fact that they seem to be fighting the same causes that Dr. King and Reverend Jackson and John Lewis and many others galvanized the country behind during the Civil Rights Movement; and that's jobs justice and common humanity."
The Louisiana congressman noted that while others have thrown up their hands, hung their heads, paralyzed by frustration, CBC members have remained focused and driven.
Richmond acknowledged that members like Shirley Chisholm work on poverty and expanding opportunities for women in the labor force and children in the classroom, Charlie Rangel on economic inequality and John Conyers on criminal justice reform.
Richmond said that the CBC members are committed to do their part, to provide leadership, engage the people across this country and fight shoulder to shoulder to ensure that the arc, but they cannot do it alone.
"We need the fire, passion and talent of young people to use the tools and resources of today to capture the nation and to give life to our movement," said Richmond, adding that it was young women and young men who were on the frontlines of the fight for freedom during the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s.
Richmond said that fighting injustice will also require the wisdom, clarity and foresight of our elders, because, "if we do not learn from our past, our future will be more of the same."
The new CBC chair said that during 115th Congressional session, CBC members will continue to confront those who seek to divide the country and that they will be clear about their demands, on behalf of Black people. He added that CBC members will also venture outside of Washington to engage everyday people where they live, work and worship.
"We will heed the many lessons of our leaders that came before, but we will innovate and evolve to tackle the challenges of today," said Richmond. "We will be deliberate in our thoughts and actions and we will engage on our own terms."
Richmond continued: "We have the strength and the courage of our ancestors that survived the Middle Passage, who survived slavery and segregation and Jim Crow; and in that spirit we won't give in, we won't give up and we won't fall back."

Gary Clark Jr.�s forthcoming album entitled JPEG RAW, his fourth studio release,
marks a grand step in his musical evolution�. A powerful and expansive artistic statement.
While retaining the deep and true resonance of his blues foundations and guitar virtuosity with subtlety yet conviction, he reaches well beyond this time.
The emphasis here is on song and studio craft without losing the rawness of his young legend. (Rolling Stone Magazine called him, The Chosen One).
The music is dense and adventurous with a more cohesive synthesis of his eclectic musical �palette. �Hip samples, Thelonious Monk and Sonny Boy Williamson decorate flourishes of African, �World Music, even Jazz while merging with blues , rock, R&B and rap; familiar areas he has ventured before, this time with more unity forging a fresh new style. �Clark�s lyrics are �pointed, deeply personal, outspoken and socially conscious with occasional forays into �rap and spoken word from Clark himself. �The sonics are immersive verging on modern groove-oriented psychedelia with hip-hop driven beats in verses giving way to anthemic choruses, rich with power-chording and wide fuzz riffage.
Songs like �Maktub�, �JPEG RAW�, �This Is Who We Are�, �Hyperwave� and the epic 10-minute Habits, break fresh ground defying categorization in the ever corporatized, predictable �alt� music world. �The co-written Stevie Wonder duet, �What About The Children� feels like an immediate classic that could have lived on Innervisions or Talking Book if not for Clark�s fuzzed out riff and hip-hop pocket.
Clark has always had swagger and sex in his sound and very dangerous hands when wielding 6 strings. JPEG RAW is all of that and breaks new ground that is both thrilling and inspiring on every level.
