Bill Keller: Deceiver in Chief
Bill Keller is outraged. Color me unimpressed:
It was skin crawling to hear him tell Mr. Gibson that the thing he will really miss when he leaves office is no longer going to see the families of slain soldiers, because they make him feel better about the war. But Mr. Bush's comments about his decision to invade Iraq were a "mistakes were made" rewriting of history and a refusal to accept responsibility to rival that of Richard Nixon.
This, from the editor of a paper that just gave space to Bill Ayers so he could engage in what is arguably the most flagrantly dishonest and self-serving re-writing of history in recent memory:
I never killed or injured anyone. I did join the civil rights movement in the mid-1960s, and later resisted the draft and was arrested in nonviolent demonstrations. I became a full-time antiwar organizer for Students for a Democratic Society. In 1970, I co-founded the Weather Underground, an organization that was created after an accidental explosion that claimed the lives of three of our comrades in Greenwich Village. The Weather Underground went on to take responsibility for placing several small bombs in empty offices — the ones at the Pentagon and the United States Capitol were the most notorious — as an illegal and unpopular war consumed the nation.
The Weather Underground crossed lines of legality, of propriety and perhaps even of common sense. Our effectiveness can be — and still is being — debated. We did carry out symbolic acts of extreme vandalism directed at monuments to war and racism, and the attacks on property, never on people, were meant to respect human life and convey outrage and determination to end the Vietnam war.
Peaceful protests had failed to stop the war. So we issued a screaming response. But it was not terrorism; we were not engaged in a campaign to kill and injure people indiscriminately, spreading fear and suffering for political ends.
Ayers is, not to put too fine a point on it, lying through his teeth.
That the readers of the Times have no idea of the truth (just read the comments) can be laid right at Bill Keller's door. The truth about Bill Ayers is ugly:
1. The Weather Underground was formed in 1969, not 1970. Ayers lies about even easily checkable facts... not that anyone at the Times is going to call him on it:
Starting his narrative in 1970 allows Ayers to omit the time when Weatherman was not trying not to harm people: for instance, the Days of Rage:""The Days of Rage," as the 1969 protest was called, brought several hundred members of the Weatherman—many of them attired for battle with helmets and weapons—to Lincoln Park. The tear-gassed marches, window smashing, and clashes with police lasted four days, during which 290 militants were arrested and 63 people were injured. Damage to windows, cars, and other property soared to hundreds of thousands of dollars. Around this time, Ayers summed up the Weatherman philosophy as "Kill all the rich people. Break up their cars and apartments. Bring the revolution home, kill your parents—that's where it's really at.""
Nor should we forget Bernardine Dohrn's comment on the Manson murders at the Flint War Council in 1969: "Dig it! First they killed those pigs and then they put a fork in their bellies. Wild!" At the same meeting, Weathermen "debated the ethics of killing white babies, so as not to bring more "oppressors" into the world, and denounced American women bearing white babies as "pig mothers."" (p. 159) And they sang songs about a lawyer, Richard Elrod, who had broken his neck during the Days of Rage: "Stay Elrod stay/ Stay in your iron lung/ Play Elrod play/ Play with your toes a while." (p. 159)
2. More of Ayers' non-terrorist activism against buildings, not people:
Early on the morning of February 21, as my family slept, three gasoline-filled firebombs exploded at our home on the northern tip of Manhattan, two at the front door and the third tucked neatly under the gas tank of the family car. (Today, of course, we'd call that a car bomb.) A neighbor heard the first two blasts and, with the remains of a snowman I had built a few days earlier, managed to douse the flames beneath the car. That was an act whose courage I fully appreciated only as an adult, an act that doubtless saved multiple lives that night.
I still recall, as though it were a dream, thinking that someone was lifting and dropping my bed as the explosions jolted me awake, and I remember my mother's pulling me from the tangle of sheets and running to the kitchen where my father stood. Through the large windows overlooking the yard, all we could see was the bright glow of flames below. We didn't leave our burning house for fear of who might be waiting outside. The same night, bombs were thrown at a police car in Manhattan and two military recruiting stations in Brooklyn. Sunlight, the next morning, revealed three sentences of blood-red graffiti on our sidewalk: FREE THE PANTHER 21; THE VIET CONG HAVE WON; KILL THE PIGS.
For the next 18 months, I went to school in an unmarked police car. My mother, a schoolteacher, had plainclothes detectives waiting in the faculty lounge all day. My brother saved a few bucks because he didn't have to rent a limo for the senior prom: the NYPD did the driving. We all made the best of the odd new life that had been thrust upon us, but for years, the sound of a fire truck's siren made my stomach knot and my heart race. In many ways, the enormity of the attempt to kill my entire family didn't fully hit me until years later, when, a father myself, I was tucking my own nine-year-old John Murtagh into bed.
Though no one was ever caught or tried for the attempt on my family's life, there was never any doubt who was behind it. Only a few weeks after the attack, the New York contingent of the Weathermen blew themselves up making more bombs in a Greenwich Village townhouse. The same cell had bombed my house, writes Ron Jacobs in The Way the Wind Blew: A History of the Weather Underground. And in late November that year, a letter to the Associated Press signed by Bernardine Dohrn, Ayers's wife, promised more bombings.
3. The "peaceful protest" continues... In March of 1970 3 Weather Underground members blew themselves up with anti-personnel (note: not for use against buildings) weapons armed with roofing nails and enhanced with dynamite. Contrary to both the NY Times' dishonest characterization and Mr. Ayers' lies, the Weathermen had planned to harm actual human beings:
Professor Klehr also took a dim view of the often stated account that after the town house explosion, the Weathermen resolved to take no lives, and that in the string of bombings that followed, no one was seriously injured. He points out that members have said the explosives at the town house were intended for an officers' dance at Fort Dix in New Jersey and for Butler Library at Columbia University.
''The only reason they were not guilty of mass murder is mere incompetence,'' he said. ''I don't know what sort of defense that is.''
Years later, Weatherman Brian Flanagan regretted the Fort Dix and Columbia plots:
When pressed, he said he regretted both the deaths of the three Weathermen -- Ted Gold, Diana Oughton and Terry Robbins -- and the plan to bomb the dance at Fort Dix and the library at Columbia, which could have taken lives.
4. More "extreme vandalism":
On Feb. 16, 1970, my partner and I were on the 1700 block of Haight Street in San Francisco, when a bomb went off at Park Police Station, where I was assigned.
It killed my sergeant, Brian V. McDonnell, age 45. My partner and I were the first car on the scene, and the first sight that we saw, upon arrival in the parking lot of the station, was a friend of ours getting up off the ground.
His partner was still on the ground, propped up on one arm and dazed. They had been blown down by the concussion of the bomb that had been placed on the window of the station by, it is suspected, members of the Weather Underground, a radical organization affiliated with and allied with the Black Liberation Army.
McDonnell's police car, which was between the window sill, where the bomb was, and the car that my two fellow policemen were preparing to get into, took the brunt of the blast, and it saved their lives. The inside of the station looked like it had been hit by a couple of hand grenades, windows shattered, blood on the pock-marked walls and dazed cops wandering around disoriented.
The bomb was so powerful that fragments, which consisted of barbed-wire fence post staples, were found on the roof of Polytechnic High School which was located near Kezar Stadium and Frederick Street, about two blocks away. Polytechnic High School was three stories high. It has since been replaced by a housing complex.
At least one undercover FBI operative, who infiltrated the murderous Weather Underground organization, the same organization that was also involved in other bombings, including a bombing of the Pentagon, reportedly revealed that the person who planted the bomb, at Park Police Station, was Bernardine Dohrn. Dohrn is married to admitted bomber and non-repentant anarchist Bill Ayers, who has boasted of the Pentagon and other bombings and has shown no remorse for those acts.
5. But the most egregious omission in the Times' "investigative reporting" on Ayers regards the goals of the Weather Underground: the violent overthrow of the democratically elected government of the United States of America and the formation of a communist-run dictatorship of the proletariat:
We need to battle for a correct ideology and win people over. In this way we create the conditions for the development of a successful revolutionary movement and party. We need a revolutionary communist party in order to lead the struggle, give coherence and direction to the fight, seize power and build the new society. Getting from here to there is a process of coming together in a disciplined way around ideology and strategy, developing an analysis of our real conditions, mobilizing a base among the US people, building principled relationships to Third World struggle, and accumulating practice in struggle against US imperialism.
PRAIRIE FIRE is written to communist-minded revolutionaries, independent organizers and anti-imperialists; those who carry the traditions and lessons of the struggles of the last decade, those who join in the struggles of today. PRAIRIE FIRE is written to all sisters and brothers who are engaged in armed struggle against the enemy. It is written to prisoners, women's groups, collectives, study groups, workers' organizing committees, communes, GI organizers, consciousness-raising groups, veterans, community groups and revolutionaries of all kinds; to all who will read, criticize and bring its content to life in practice. It is written as an argument against those who oppose action and hold back the struggle.
PRAIRIE FIRE is based on a belief that the duty of a revolutionary is to make the revolution. This is not an abstraction. It means that revolutionaries must make a profound commitment to the future of humanity, apply our limited knowledge and experience to understand an ever-changing situation, organize the masses of people and build the fight. It means that struggle and risk and hard work and adversity will become our way of life, that the only certainty will be constant change, that the only possibilities are victory or death.
We have only begun. At this time, the unity and consolidation of anti-imperialist forces around a revolutionary program is an urgent and pressing strategic necessity. PRAIRIE FIRE is offered as a contribution to this unity of action and purpose. Now it is in your hands.
Bernardine Dohrn
Jeff Jones
Billy Ayers
Celia Sojourn
In several places throughout the book, the fact that armed revolution is the goal is made quite clear:
The only path to the final defeat of imperialism and the building of socialism is revolutionary war.
Revolutionary war will be complicated and protracted. It includes mass struggle and clandestine struggle, peaceful and violent, political and economic, cultural and military, where all forms are developed in harmony with the armed struggle.
Without mass struggle there can be no revolution.
Without armed struggle there can be no victory.
For the Times to portray Ayers and Dohrn as misguided Vietnam activists whose only goal was to end the war when, in fact, their goal was to effect the violent overthrow of a democratically elected government is shameful. For the Times to cover up the fact that as late as 2002, when Barack Obama was openly associating with William Ayers and (in fact) had his political career launched from the man's living room, Ayers openly continued to characterize himsef as an anarchist is inexcusable.
And if there is the least doubt in your mind what these people were willing to countenance, in the list of the book's dedications (among others) appears Sirhan Sirhan, who assasinated Robert F. Kennedy.
People can make up their own minds about what, if anything, this all means. The fact that readers of the Times have absolutely no idea about any of this speaks volumes.

There is a maxim that history is always written by the winners. Bill Keller, and many others like him, thinks that thhe are "winners" in the great debate about the Iraq War.
That too may change with time.
"the only certainty will be constant change, that the only possibilities are victory or death. "
I thought the only certainties were death and taxes, and one only gets worse when Congress is in session (to paraphrase Mark Twain).

I never killed or injured anyone.
Maybe, maybe not -- but the Weather Underground *did* and several went to prison for doing so.
We did carry out symbolic acts of extreme vandalism directed at monuments to war and racism, and the attacks on property, never on people, were meant to respect human life and convey outrage and determination to end the Vietnam war.
First time I've ever heard bank robberies and armored car heists "symbolic acts." And killing a dozen people during the course of them kinda negates that whole "respect human life" thing...
Posted by: BillT at December 8, 2008 02:42 PM
They were symbolic of their desire to kill people :p
Bill you fail to understand their rage, which puts whatever they may have done in a different historical "context" (of course any "rage" W. may have felt towards Islamofascists does not place his actions in a different context - if you were progressive, you'd understand).
As spd said, there is a deeper emotional truthiness here somewhere that transcends things like facts.

I posit that a fact of sufficient duration will transcend whatever deeper emotional truthiness happens to reside within Ayers.
The fact: stake the sucker out on an anthill.

Actually you left out the worst of it...
the attempted teaming up with black nazi's (black national socialists), they would rob a brinks truck in nanuet ny...
if your looking for things with dead and extremes that top the rest, read the description of that day...
The 1981 Weather Underground, Black Liberation Army-related Triple Murder in Nyack, NY
a great read on it here...
The Weathermen were radicals. They wanted their people to get involved, demonstrate, get arrested and force change down the throat of the "establishment." They fought at the Democratic Presidential Convention in 1968 and converged in Chicago in 1969 for an event that came to be known as "Days of Rage." The more violent extremists during that era were responsible for a score of bombings in places like Harvard University, various corporate headquarters and a number of government institutions. They praised Charles Manson and freed Dr. Timothy Leary from prison. Wherever there was violence and chaos in the name of dissent, the Weathermen were there. But after the townhouse explosion in New York City in 1970, the group was forced to go "underground" and remove itself from the prying eyes of law enforcement and public scrutiny.

The ironic thing, is Bill Ayers should be lucky that the Ft. Dix officer's club bombing fell through. That likely would have provoked such a reaction from the Nixon Administration; that it would like meant the end of the far left, in very substantial ways. Bill Keller, should hide his hands in shame, for perpetuating such a craven lie.

And here's one of the most telling quotes from an infiltrator of the WU, buried down towards the bottom (I cite it specifically because one might break off reading beforehand):
I bought up the subject of what's going to happen after we take over the government. We, we become responsible, then, for administrating, you know, 250 million people.
And there was no answers. No one had given any thought to economics; how are you going to clothe and feed these people.
The only thing that I could get, was that they expected that the Cubans and the North Vietnamese and Chinese and the Russians would all want to occupy different portions of the United States.
They also believed that their immediate responsibility would be to protect against what they called the counter-revolution. And they felt that this counter-revolution could best be guarded against by creating and establishing re-education centers in the southwest, where we would take all the people who needed to be re-educated into the new way of thinking and teach them... how things were going to be.
I asked, well, what's going to happen to those people that we can't re-educate; that are die-hard capitalists. And the reply was that they'd have to be eliminated. And when I pursued this further, they estimated that they would have to eliminate 25 million people in these re-education centers. And when I say eliminate, I mean kill. 25 million people.
I want you to imagine sitting in a room with 25 people, most of which have graduate degrees from Columbia and other well known educational centers, and hear them figuring out the logistics for the elimination of 25 million people.
And they were dead serious."
-- Larry Grathwohl, former member of the Weather Underground
Yeah, Ayers was just a "bit misguided".
Give ME the fuckin' button. I'll push it, without a moment's hesitation.
"A reverence for life does not require a man to respect Nature's obvious mistakes."
- Robert A. Heinlein, 'Have Space Suit, Will Travel' -
Probably not quite what Heinlein was thinking of, but I consider Ayers to be a murderous traitor, and clearly guilty of treason.

Interesting title -- Prairie Fire.
When we heard that on the radio, it meant that an American unit was about to be overrun. All available combat assets were diverted to that unit until the enemy was neutralized.
In layman's terms, "Pile on and kill everyone who's not one of us."
Like I said -- interesting title.
Posted by: BillT at December 9, 2008 05:12 AM
Interesting how the usurp the terms and the actions, like hanging the US flag upside down.
You'd think they'd be burning it, but instead, subverting a symbol to appeal to the masses and hiding their real intent.
One of the reasons I detest the peace symbol isn't because it is a symbol of the left; it is because it is really Christ crucified upside down; distressed or perverted Christianity.
I guess I need to reread the Manifestos again.

It's also the so-called *Toten-rune* -- the symbol of death -- used by the 3rd SS Panzer, and was carved on SS grave markers.
In the '60s, we just called it The Chicken Track.
Posted by: BillT at December 9, 2008 09:18 AM
I lived through those days of the 60s, as did my wife and ex-wife. We each generally agreed with the politics of Bill Ayres.
None of us ever blew anything or anybody up. I was something of a rabble-rouser.
I once had it in the fingers of my hands to make a city run red with the blood of fresh-faced 18-year- olds. I twice had delegations of young people come to me asking me to make the blood flow.
I turned them down flat.
I have nothing but contempt for Bill Ayres. Perhaps in his defense, he was born into far greater privilege than I and just couldn't figure out to handle it. He still hasn't.

Sorry, I take issue with the notion that someone who would casually discuss the overt extermination of 25 MILLION people for political reasons has any standing as a human being with any claim to rights of any kind. They've already expressed no connection to humanity or Western moral principles.

Well, Nikon has finally announced the coming of the replacement for the D810 as the new D850, touting great things. You can see the short video below. Am I excited, not really and I'm going to tell you why. Will I be buying one, yes, but more on that in a moment.
There are several reasons why I'm not jumping out of my skin for the new D850. First, and foremost, is that, over the years, I've realized that the camera and all the gear in the world really doesn't matter. I'm what matters. Every camera we have today is better than anything they've had available in the past. You can make amazing photos with your phone! So, it's not the camera, it's what you do with it and how you, the person behind the camera, sees and composes the image. A new camera is not going to make you a better photographer. It took me many years and quite a bit of money to come to terms with that. We all like shiny new objects.
Reason Two: Nikon has had a less than stellar track record of late. The D750 is now on its third, yes third, recall. Unacceptable, especially when you make your living with these tools. I'm hoping this won't be the case with the D850, but who knows.
Reason Three: It's a tool. That's it. I don't get excited when I buy a screwdriver to complete some project around the house. A camera is no different. It gets a job done.
Reason Four: Over the past year, I've been moving more and more to my Fuji gear. As my friend David Duchemin says, it is a camera that gets out of the way. I love that I don't need to get into some inexplicably complex menu system to make a minor adjustment. It's all right there on the manual dials on top or the aperture ring on the lenses. The gear weighs 2/3 less than my Nikon gear so, again, it gets out of the way. I can carry it around all day without even noticing its there. And, it gets the job done. The images are rendered beautifully… remember, it's a tool that renders images, you are the one that makes the images.
So, you may be asking, why are you going to be getting one? You already have a D810. Well, here's the deal. I've been using my D810 for 3 years now. I mostly use it for work, which is to say architecture and some product photography. I also use it for fashion work as it works well with my lighting setups. I've identified the camera's shortcomings that I am expecting the D850 to address. Namely, faster auto focus, better low light ability and 4K video. These are all things that I've been wishing the D810 was better at. Will the D850 have more megapixels, probably and, frankly, I wish it wouldn't. 36 is more than enough for MY NEEDS.
Why stick with Nikon at all if I love Fuji so much? Well, that's a good question. For one, I've got some great Nikon glass. For two, in my architecture and real estate work, I use my 19mm and 45mm Tilt Shift Lenses daily and Fuji doesn't have any. There's another NEED that I've identified that justifies sticking with Nikon (for now). I sold my beloved D4s because I realized that, while that camera is freaking amazing, I don't need the features that it is famous for, mainly speed. Yes, it's great in low light, but so are my Fuji's. Are the Fuji cameras as good in low light, well no, but I don't NEED to shoot in the dark day in and day out like many sports or wedding photographers do. Is it better for concert photography? Well, maybe, but I shoot those for fun, not for money and the Fuji cameras perform well for my purposes.
I'll wait until the official announcement to decide if I'm going to upgrade to the D850 to make sure that this new camera will fill the needs I've been wanting out of the D810. If not, well, I'll have $4000 in the bank that I can use to travel someplace where I can use the cameras I already have to make some new images. Just some thoughts.

Rating| 4 Stars
Alienated is pretty fun, I'll give it that. It follows Cara and Aelyx through duel perspectives. Cara's a human, and Aelyx an alien- though the two species share pretty much all the same DNA. Both are entered into exchange programs, and for this book, Aelyx spends a turn on earth. He's pretty uncomfortable at first, not happy with the situation in the least, but Cara's a trooper. She's forced not only to deal with his attitude, but also the growing tensions in her community that separate her and her family from everyone they once knew. And slowly, they fall for each other.
I think my biggest problem with this one was the romance. It didn't click for me. And it didn't strike me as true love. Something I've noticed in my reading is that I've drifted away from YA a bit and read more adult fantasy, where there are many more pages to be used. Since there's so much to a story in that genre, the romance has plenty of time to work itself out without being obvious. And so it's easier for me to believe in the romance between two characters after 500 pages than over 150. The end, due to my take on Cara and Aelyx's relationship, made little sense and actually upset me a bit.
Since the book is built so much on a romance I didn't believe, I'm surprised I even gave it four stars. But the writing itself is pretty great. It was easy to read and a lot of fun to read, too. The difference between the humans and the L'eihr (aliens) was obvious but not over the top. It actually felt like an exchange student program where we, the readers, slowly got to know the way L'eihr's felt about certain things, like food. This also created a pretty good balance of humor. While I didn't think it was LOL funny, I did give a few chuckle's and was certainly smiling the whole time.
And then there's the way it dealt with the bigger matters- and how realistic it was. The way Cara's community reacted to Aelyx, and the way the world reacted to the L'eihr, directly paralleled race tensions when schools were being integrated. There were a few other notes where Lander's hit it on the nose with how people would act in these situations: notably where cancer was concerned. In the book the aliens have cured cancer, and as such no one on earth is afraid of getting it anymore. Great, right? Well, yes, but Lander's also talks about how people are doing things they know are bad for their body- such as smoking in droves- thanks to this cure. It opened up a window in my head- I never considered this ramification, and I thought that it was being brought up in this really cool way.
Overall, I'd recommend this book. I've seen reviews where people are much happier with the romance, so don't get turned off by my opinion. Looking forward to getting the sequel eventually.

The Baton Rouge Symphony Orchestra's Investar Bank Masterworks VII concert will feature guest pianist Christopher O'Riley at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, March 21, in the Baton Rouge River Center Theatre for the Performing Arts, 275 St. Louis St.
The concert, directed by conductor and music director Timothy Muffitt, is the orchestra's season finale and will feature an all-Russian program.
The orchestra will perform Rimsky-Korsakov's "Capriccio Espagnol," which started as a fantasia for violin and piano before a complete revision, borrowing themes and harmonies from authentic Spanish songs.
O'Riley then joins the orchestra for Rachmaninov's "Piano Concerto No. 1" in F-sharp minor.
The concerto consists of brilliant dramatic contrasts, sensuous slow movement and a fiery, driving finale that requires dazzling virtuosity from the soloist.
The demanding, flashy fingerwork looks effortless for O'Riley, whose career has stretched the piano beyond conventional boundaries.
From his groundbreaking transcriptions of Radiohead, Elliott Smith and Nick Drake to his unforgettably sublime interpretations of the classical canon, O'Riley has taken his unique vision to both traditional classical music venues and symphonic settings, as well as to entirely new audiences on the radio, at universities and even clubs.
As host of the popular classical music radio show, National Public Radio's From The Top, O'Riley works and performs with the next generation of young musicians, demonstrating to audiences that these young artists are as interesting and diverse in their personal lives as they are in their music-making.
Two years ago, PBS launched the weekly television series From the Top from Carnegie Hall, featuring O'Riley as host, directed by Emmy-winning director Gary Halvorson.
O'Riley also will be performing the "Goldberg Variations" on Monday, March 18, in the LSU School of Music Recital Hall.
Tickets to that performance are $28.
Muffitt closes the evening with "Pictures at an Exhibition" by Mussorgsky, orchestrated by Maurice Ravel. The most striking feature of the piece, which is further enhanced by Ravel's orchestration, is the vivid tone painting, that enables the listener to actually visualize architect and painter Gartman's work.
The entire Masterworks Series is sponsored by Investar Bank.
This performance of Masterworks VII is sponsored by The Lohengrin Group.
Also, Ticket holders are invited to the concert hall an hour prior for a pre-concert discussion with Muffitt.
Prior to the beginning of the concert, the winners of the Baton Rouge Symphony Orchestra's annual search for "Music Teacher of the Year," "Classroom Teacher of the Year" and "Music Ensemble Teacher of the Year" will be presented. The winners receive two complimentary season subscriptions to the 2013-14 Masterworks series, an award plaque, two complimentary tickets to the concert, dinner for two on the evening of the presentation concert at the Closing Night Gala at Stroube's Chophouse, and recognition in BRAVEAUX, the Symphony program magazine.
The schools receive recognition in the program book, a banner and a plaque. Teacher of the Year is sponsored by Allied Systems, Inc., and McGraw Hill.
Tickets are $25-$55.
For tickets or more information, call (225) 383-0500, ext. 100, or visit http://www.brso.org.

Conveyancing process explained: For Sellers
Conveyancing is the process of legally transferring home ownership from you, the seller, to the buyer. It starts from making an offer and finishes when you hand over the keys to the buyer. Understanding it will help ensure you don't suffer any nasty surprises
Who does the conveyancing?
A solicitor or conveyancer usually conducts the conveyancing process.
Before the exchange of contracts
1. Engage an estate agent, negotiate and accept an offer on the sale price
2. Instruct a solicitor or conveyancer to do the conveyancing. To reduce delays, it is probably best to have chosen which solicitor or conveyancer you want to use around the time youchoose the estate agent, tell them you want to sell, and agree fees. However, you only instruct them to start work after you have a formal offer. For guidance on choosing a solicitor and conveyancer, see Finding the right solicitor or conveyancer?
3. Complete a number of detailed questionnaires about the property and what you intend to include with the sale, which will be provided to you by your solicitor/conveyancer:
- The (TA 6) is a general questionnaire and includes information on boundaries, disputes and complaints (like reported noisy neighbour complaints or boundary disputes), known proposed developments (like motorways or railways), building works, council tax, utilities, sewerage, contact details.
- If you do not own the freehold you should give more information on either the leasehold (TA 7) or the commonhold (TA9)
- The (TA 10) provides details of which fittings and fixtures you would like to include with the property
- The (TA 13) is more technical, but also includes finalisation details including arrangements to hand over the keys, how and where you will complete, and ensuring that the house is free of all mortgages and liability claims
- You must fill these forms out truthfully and to the best of your knowledge; if it later transpires that you have not been fully truthful you could be sued for compensation. Or, if they find out before exchange of contracts, it might make the buyers nervous that you are misleading them about other things and they may pull out.
4. Your solicitor/conveyancer uses the questionnaire information to draw up a draft contract. This is sent to the buyer for approval.
5. Negotiations over the draft contract. Things to agree include:
- date of completion (usually 7-28 days after the exchange of contracts)
- what fixtures and fittings will be included in the sale price
- how much they pay for other fixtures and fitting
- The buyer would often also have had a survey conducted on your property. If the survey flags up anything major – for example, the need for significant roof repairs – you may have to negotiate over who will fix this or even renegotiate over the sale price.
6. You must plan to pay off your mortgage, by requesting a redemption figure from your mortgage company. This is how much you pay upon completion of the sale
Exchanging contracts
- You and the buyer will have agreed on a date and time to exchange contracts. At that time your solicitor or conveyancer will exchange contracts for you
- This is usually done by both solicitors/conveyancers making sure the contracts are identical, and then immediately sending them to one another in the post
- If you or the buyers are in a chain the solicitors/conveyancers will do the same thing, but will only release it if the other people in the chain are all happy to go ahead. This means if one person pulls out or delays, then everyone in the chain gets held up. For more, see How can I break the housing chain?
- Once you have exchanged contracts you will be in a legally binding contract to sell the property.
- This means:If the buyer does not complete the purchase, you will probably keep their deposit; you can also sue them
- If you pull out, they can sue you
- You can no longer accept another offer
- For more information, see How do I exchange contracts?
Between exchange and completion
- Immediately after exchange you should receive the buyer's deposit – usually 10% of the property price
- You own the property until completion, and so there is no need to move out before then. However, it will be a lot less stressful if you can move out some days before, rather than leaving it to the last minutes
- You should go around the property before you complete ensuring that everything that was on the fixtures and fittings inventory list is still in the property
On completion day
- You hand over the keys. In practice, the buyer normally gets the keys from the estate agent, and you leave any spare sets you have in the property
- You or your conveyancer/solicitor will receive the outstanding balance of sale price
- You – or your solicitor/conveyancer – will hand over the legal documents that prove ownership
- Any outstanding mortgage on the property can now be paid off from the proceeds of the sale. The solicitor/conveyancer will normally do this
- For more information, see Completion – what to expect?
After completion
- You will have to pay your solicitor/conveyancer
- You will have to pay the estate agent

When completing the conveyancing process, will the buyers conveyancer send the sellers conveyancer a copy of the mortgage offer (full details), or do they just need to know that there is a mortgage without a full breakdown of the details?
Thank you

Me and my girlfriend are buying an ex council flat. The council has now told us that they expect us to pay for there solicitors fees. Is this legal and do we have to pay it for them?
Our solicitor has said that you would only usually do that if it was a commercial property.
Many Thanks

Nice advice, if someone else is going to buy Property.
Comment by selling property — January 18, 2017 @ 4:23 pm
Dear Colum,
Thanks for your query. Following completion, the seller's conveyancer pays the estate agent (seller usually agrees to this in the estate agent's contract), repays the amount owing to the mortgage lender and take their own legal fees and disbursements. The remaining money from the sale is then transferred to the seller, usually on the completion day. You should ask your conveyancer for a breakdown of these payments in advance of completion (though the exact mortgage redemption figure may not be available) to avoid any surprises on the day and to allow you to raise any queries you have, for example, on the agent's or legal fees.
Wish you the best with it all.
Kind regards,
HomeOwners Alliance Team
Comment by Sophie Khan — November 17, 2016 @ 3:43 pm
After conveyancer/solicitor has redeemed any mortgage, when exactly will the seller receive the remaining proceeds of the sale? Is there any obligation upon the conveyancer/solicitor to transfer this money to the seller on the day of completion? This will be a matter of great concern to any seller and yet it is not addressed here. Is the conveyancer/solicitor entitled to deduct fees before transferring purchase balance to seller? What if these exceed the quotation? Who settles with the estate agent? Most estate agents will charge interest for every day that they have not been paid after completion. If the seller has to settle with the estate agent, any delay in receiving purchase balance from conveyancer/solicitor could result in interest liability to estate agent. We need advice on these aspects, please.

I am in the process of selling. I have instructed a solicitor after receivin an online quote £664 inc vat for services. I am using estate agent to sell property charging £500 +vat for HR £500+vat for Marketing fees and £1500+vat for selling fees. I have previously sold a property and i had all this info before but when i was paid the equity i had it was short as other fees were added and both solicitor and estate sgent fees were deducted i was left to dispute these fees but due to cost to try recover the added fees i had no choice other than to let it go. I dont want this to happen again so what would i do to make sure everything is in writing before i allow everything to conclude.
Thank you

HI we bought our home through a let to buy arrangement. we pay rent, but pay extra to go toward us owning the home, plus paid a substantial deposit.
We had to sell as relocating due to illness, and sold 9 weeks ago, we are told the buyers have a few small queries. We feel we are left in the dark and it seems a waiting game. whats going on? We were offered a hughrer bid an refused, as we think were near completion but don't know, what can we do other than send heaps of emails which don't always get replied to.? Our marriage is suffering due to the duress this is causing.

I am in the process of selling our house in scotland and have been told by my estate agent that if we do not leave our curtain poles we have to fill in the holes and put replacement ones up.
Is this true and are there any rules in scotland as what you must leave in you house when selling?
Kind regards
Comment by Jos Clarke — October 14, 2015 @ 7:10 am
I recently sold my property and during the sale process I completed a questionnaire detailing a fridge and washing machine I would like to sell to the buyers if they wanted to purchase it. I never heard anymore on this and assumed, if the buyers didn't want the items my solicitors would inform me. Once the sale had gone through, it dawned on me the fridge and washing machine hadn't been purchased by the buyers and as it was still present in the flat on completion, it now legally belonged to them. Are my solicitors liable for this lose?
Comment by Sebastian — September 28, 2015 @ 9:52 pm
I looked on the Which website to get an average cost for conveyancing. I seem to be being charged a fee for selling, but also a fee for buying. Hence two conveyancing fees. This doesn't sound right to me, is it?.
Comment by Rob — September 4, 2015 @ 6:15 pm
I found the above information very helpful. Thanks
Comment by Act Conveyancing Sydney — August 1, 2015 @ 4:01 am
this is a really good explanation of the conveyancing process for people selling their property. Good work! We will share this through our social media channels for you.
Comment by Online Conveyancing Quote — July 22, 2015 @ 9:02 am
It makes sense to have someone lined up to take care of the conveyancing as soon as you pick an estate agent. You wouldn't want to scramble to find someone once you've been made an offer on your home. It'd be far better in that situation to be ready to go as soon as you get the offer so you can close the deal more quickly.
Comment by McKayla Strauss — June 15, 2015 @ 7:07 pm
Dear Sir /Madam
I have enquired to my local solicitors office to gain a price for me to sell my house to my daughter and I have been informed that they think we would need to use two solicitors one for me to sell my house and one for my daughter to buy my house…. I am awaiting confirmation of thus together with pricing.
I would like to gain your pricing for this simple house sell please
Look forward to hearing from you
Kind Regards

my elderly mother is in the process of selling her property. Our estate agent appears to be very helpful and has recommended a solicitor and someone to provide a EPC. I am nervous about the process and found the above information very helpful. Thanks

text: Programming Security: Secured modules by User Not Found Apr 24, 2009 [This article is part of the documentation preview for the Programming Security section of the Developer manual. You can view the temporary TOC here] We have talked about the building parts: security roots and permissions. Now it is time to explain how to bind the two things together, and, in the process, let Sitefinity know that your module will use security. First of all, the module should implement SecuredModule, instead of WebModule.Here is how the sample Contacts pluggable module is declared: public class ContactsModule : SecuredModule In a secured module, we have to override two more properties SecurityRoot and SecurityRoots Lets us first see how they are implemented in the sample Contacts pluggable module: /// <summary> /// Gets the security root. /// </summary> /// <value>The security root.</value> public override Telerik.Security.Permissions.ISecured SecurityRoot { get { return this.SecurityRoots[Configuration.ConfigHelper.Handler.DefaultProvider]; } } /// <summary> /// Gets the security roots. /// </summary> /// <value>The security roots.</value> public override IDictionary<string, ISecured> SecurityRoots { get { return ContactsManager.SecurityRoots; } } It becomes clear that SecurityRoot returns the security root associated with the current provider, while SecurityRoots returns a dictionary<provider name, security root> of all providers with their associated security roots. The careful reader has already noticed a contradiction: that the provider is not directly connected to a security root. However, if we look at the code for ContactsManager.Security roots: /// <summary> /// Gets the security roots. /// </summary> /// <value>The security roots.</value> public static Dictionary<String, ISecured> SecurityRoots { get { if (securityRoots == null) { securityRoots = new Dictionary<String, ISecured>(ContactsManager.Providers.Count); foreach (string name in ContactsManager.Providers.Keys) securityRoots.Add(name, new GlobalPermissions(name)); } return securityRoots; } } we will see that this is implemented in the manager, and the provider is still not directly connected with a security root. This implementation gives us yet another example that there is an association, but not direct connection. Here are some more helper (but not required) methods and properties in the ContactsManager that are related to security: public GlobalPermissions Permissions { get; } Returns the security root for the current provider public GlobalPermission GetPermission() Returns a permission associated with the current security root public GlobalPermission GetPermission(int requestRights) Returns a permission associated with the current security root and a request for a set of rights The next step is to know how to use permissions in your module.

- LLVM compiler. A number of people at the High Performance Graphics 2009 symposium were impressed, or even using, this new compiler. It's new, based on recent research on compilers and optimization, and is supposed to be darn good. More here, with page 3 talking about Apple's use of it for GLSL code optimization.
- Very Sleepy CPU Profiler. Free, of course, and works directly on any Windows app with PDBs. Sounds pretty convenient if you don't have access to a reasonable profiler, or just want to try a different one (I've found profilers sometimes have blind spots or peculiar biases). Bonus link at the same site: summaries and links to classic graphics papers. The first sentence on this page made me laugh.
- Vista Gadgets. I use the NVIDIA temperature gadget, the memory monitor's also handy. An alternate temperature gadget is here.
- NVIDIA NEXUS. Debugging GPU code with PIX is flakey at best; I have high hopes that this product from NVIDIA will be much better. It's something NVIDIA will charge for (a first for NVIDIA, I think), and that's fine by me if it does a noticeably better job.
- NVPP. A CUDA library of functions from NVIDIA. I haven't tried CUDA, but this library looks worthwhile. To be honest, in the long-term OpenCL or compute shaders look like the popular future for commercial products vs. research, since those two are multi-platform. CUDA is much more developed at this point, however, and I've heard that whatever techniques you learn using CUDA can almost always be applied to the other two. So, I'm on the fence waiting for a winner, since I have no personal reason to use any of them at this point.
- VMMap. A little free application that shows where all the memory went.
- OverClock Checking Tool. I kinda forgot people still overclock. This utility is interesting even if you don't, if nothing else than to check if things are working. It's a bit exciting to hear my GPU's fan kick into overdrive as the temperature climbs to 87 degrees Celsius (188.6 Fahrenheit). I also learnt a little more about my Intel Core 2 Quad CPU: it "idles" at 2.0 GHz, but jumps up to 2.66 GHz when running something serious. I wimped out on going ahead with the Power Supply test, as their warning kept me away.

It should come as no surprise in this real wedding that Rachel's favorite detail was all the flowers. Because, seriously, this event in bursting with gorgeous blooms, from floral crowns to potted centerpieces. This chic wedding was hosted in Austin, but hosted at a venue with an unexpectedly European vibe (merging the couple's love of travel and hometown pride). Rachel knew that the day would go by quickly, so in preparation for savoring the experience she journaled thoroughly during her planning process. "I am SO grateful that I took the time to write and document about that season...It made the best keepsake, " she remarked.
Thank you to Heather Hawkins for sharing this lovely real wedding with us!

For any newcomers to the country, here is the news: a man on the telly baked a cake, it didn't work properly, and he threw it in the bin.
Yet from this one public meltdown, there have been more than 800 complaints to the BBC; 13 to Ofcom (the regulator has since ruled out a breach of the broadcasting code); and an in-depth interview with Iain Watters, the baker in question, on the BBC's flagship news programme Newsnight.
But then that's what happens now when a baked Alaska goes wrong on the Great British Bake Off.
For those who might have been making their own puddings on Wednesday night rather than watching other people, here is a quick recap. During the showstopper challenger, Bake Off contestant Diana Beard appeared to take Iain Watters' black sesame seed icecream out of one of the freezers, leaving it to liquefy on the side. On discovering this Watters was cast into despair, threw the icecream in the bin – and the sponge and meringue after it – and was promptly ejected from the programme with judge Mary Berry uttering it was "sort of unacceptable" to behave like this.
Yet from then on the plot – unfortunately, unlike Watters's ice cream – thickens, and raises the question of what the BBC is doing with its very own showstopper programme. Has Auntie failed to resist stirring up its own successful recipe?
From the episode itself it was not immediately clear what exactly had gone on, although 69-year-old Beard was focused on and implicitly made to look the guilty party. But when there was an immediate outcry on Twitter afterwards, presenter Sue Perkins leapt to Beard's defence saying the icecream was only out of a freezer for 40 seconds, not long enough for it to melt. Then as the pressure grew, Beard announced that she had left the series – because shortly after that episode was filmed she suffered a fall which took away her sense of taste and smell.
Since then, it appears that Britain has been dividing itself into Team Iain (summary: boo to Diana the icecream saboteur!) and Team Diana (buck up Iain and stop whingeing) – whipped up to a stiff peak by the BBC One Twitter account which was urging followers to "have your say on #Bingate" soon after the programme ended. But then it started to go wrong: Diana, the competition's oldest ever contestant, is said to have been in tears after watching Wednesday night's programme, and accused the BBC of editing her to look like the villain of the piece, adding that Watters had rung her several days' earlier to warn her that "the knives were out" for her.
In fact, what it does look like is very clever editing, and an equally clever marketing and social media campaign to ensure that Bake Off remains in the headlines. This year the programme moved from its cosy BBC2 home to prime time BBC1, was given its own spin-off show An Extra Slice – and the extra pressure which that brings to maintain and expand on ratings.
While broadcaster, presenters and judges were all keen to stress that the move would not alter the ingredients that had made Bake Off so successful for the previous four series, it's hard not to imagine that making the most of Bingate was an attempt to give the programme a taste of the kind of jeopardy that we expect from other competitive shows like X-Factor.
The series was filmed back in May, and according to insiders is filmed over weekends, so that there is a week in between episodes to agree what the shape of the previous episode is likely to take, and what to look for in filming the next shoot. If Diana pulled out a few days after that episode was filmed, then perhaps – who knows? – the temptation for producers to sizzle up the "sabotage" angle was there.
In the past the true charm of Bake Off was the fact that it was so unlike the other competitions on television – no record deal at stake here, no fortune handed over with the trophy. The history sections – now cut right back for this series – were often charmingly eccentric. It simultaneously praised the effort – but didn't take itself too seriously. It was just a show about cake.
Previous controversies have circled around whether there were too many close-ups of Smeg fridges, Paul Hollywood's flirting, and someone cutting their finger on a food processor. With the success of Bingate though are we going to see Masterchef's Gregg Wallace brought in to boom: baking doesn't get tougher than this?
On Newsnight, Iain mischievously hinted that he might come back to replace Diana – a ruse that has been used by other shows such as Big Brother to boost ratings. Thankfully, such a comeback has since been ruled out, with the BBC confirming both bakers are only returning for the traditional finale. Let's hope the edit of their encounter then is a friendly fricassee rather than a full-on flambé. Otherwise that really would leave us with a bad taste in the mouth.
Cancer can disease the mind too
Two-and-a-half years ago, my husband was diagnosed with a rare cancer called neuroendocrine tumour. It doesn't respond to chemotherapy or radiotherapy, only surgery. If it had spread, doctors would have moved from trying to kill his cancer, to managing his death. At the age of 44, with two children below school age, this was devastating. My husband – a man who, as an aid worker, had coped with some of the world's toughest disaster zones – was crushed. The sensible approach was to ask for some counselling to come to terms with the diagnosis. Yet when we went to the Macmillan office in the hospital, we were told he couldn't have it, because only patients having ongoing treatment such as chemo or radiotherapy were entitled to it. Frustratingly, the fact that our distress was because there was no treatment for his illness didn't seem to count.
How many other patients are there like my husband? A study this week in The Lancet warned that hundreds of cancer patients could be dying early, or enduring needless pain and anxiety, because they are not treated for depression. Yet a trial where patients' depression was dealt with saw stunning results – 60 per cent of sufferers saw dramatic improvements within six months.
The NHS spends £5 billion a year on cancer, much of it very well. But, as the researchers point out, what is the point of spending such sums if you don't treat mind as well as body? Too often people – even doctors – write off depression as an inevitable part of cancer rather than the separate, if related, illness it is.
We were lucky: we were pushy, middle-class patients, and an understanding consultant at the hospital intervened. My husband's distress was transient rather than a full-blown depressive disorder. But I wonder if it would have been had he not been offered that help quickly?
The uniform maketh the rebel
Victory for individualism: Carey Mulligan in a still from the film An Education
Spotted: the key sign that it's back to school this week — an embarrassing M&S school uniform advertisement. This year, the nation's favourite purveyor of knickers has surpassed itself by fundamentally misunderstanding the very function of school uniform with its new slogan: "For when they want to look cool without breaking the rules."
The whole point of school uniform – indeed one of the most valuable life lessons you learn during education – is to see how far you can get away with subverting regulations, armed only with an A-line grey flannel skirt, striped tie and blazer.
At my school, no one would be seen dead in the official Watson Prickard knee-length skirt: it had to be jacked up to mid-thigh by rolling the waistband up in the loos. Ties were tied the wrong way to be pencil-thin; jumpers were replaced by cardigans; and, for some long forgotten fashion reason, tights were worn under ankle socks.
It was a small victory for individualism, a genesis of questioning the status quo that all teenagers need to learn. Although, on reflection, it probably would have been better to put the same amount of time and effort into our chemistry exams as we did into designing the graffiti on our lab coats.

About the Build
Building someone's dream bike is one of the most rewarding parts of running a bike shop. The excitement when the final product comes together is really special! This is one of those bikes that makes you stop thinking about bike. Start with the new carbon Mojo HD3 from Ibis… now sporting boost spacing, you have the ability to run 2.35″, 2.5″, or 2.8″ tires! Fox suspension keeps things smooth when the trail gets rowdy. When in pursuit for the best ride possible, look no further than Industry Nine hubs and spokes laced to Ibis 742 super wide carbon rims. Traction level is off the charts thanks to a Maxxis Minion DHF/DHR combo. Chris King bottom bracket and headset were chosen for reliability as this is one bike that will get ridden aggressively for many years. A full RACEFACE cockpit and HT magnesium pedals were an excellent choice, this build truly is top notch all the way around. It's amazing how light these pedals were! A KS LEV dropper post rounds out the build allowing for even more fun on the downhills!

Everything that belonged to her husband made her weep again: his tasseled slippers, his pajamas under the pillow, the space of his absence in the dressing table mirror, his own odor on her skin. A vague thought made her shudder: "The people one loves should take all their things with them when they die.

Vibrations of a wind turbine have a negative impact on its performance and therefore approaches to effectively control turbine vibrations are sought by wind industry. The body of previous research on wind turbine vibrations has focused on physics-based models. Such models come with limitations as some ideal assumptions do not reflect reality. In this Thesis a data-driven approach to analyze the wind turbine vibrations is introduced.
Improvements in the data collection of information system allow collection of large volumes of industrial process data. Although the sufficient information is contained in collected data, they cannot be fully utilized to solve the challenging industrial modeling issues. Data-mining is a novel science offers platform to identify models or recognize patterns from large data set. Various successful applications of data mining proved its capability in extracting models accurately describing the processes of interest.
The vibrations of a wind turbine originate at various sources. This Thesis focuses on mitigating vibrations with wind turbine control. Data mining algorithms are utilized to construct vibration models of a wind turbine that are represented by two parameters, drive train acceleration and tower acceleration. An evolutionary strategy algorithm is employed to optimize the wind turbine performance expressed with three objectives, power generation, vibration of wind turbine drive train, and vibration of wind turbine tower.
The methodology presented in this Thesis is applicable to industrial processes other than wind industry.

Amy Keroes, Founder of Mommy Track'd
Did you ever meet someone you've never met before and you instantly click the minute you begin a conversation? Well that's how it felt the first time I ever spoke with Amy Keroes, mom of two and founder of Mommy Track'd, a website for working moms that offers the latest news, entertainment, reviews and interviews with high profile moms from all walks of life.
In response to the recent media attention focused on professional women opting out of the workforce, Amy decided to launch Mommy Track'd on behalf of the millions of women who by choice or necessity are staying in. Amy is a driven individual, having received her undergraduate degree from Northwestern University and her law degree from UCLA. She was a fifth year associate at Latham & Watkins when she switched gears and took a position as Senior Corporate Counsel for Gap Inc. She then worked at Gap for six years managing the Company's intellectual property litigation and all marketing related partnerships and promotions. Amy also managed celebrity advertising deals, including the contract negotiations for Madonna, Missy Elliott, Sarah Jessica Parker and Lenny Kravitz. Amy continues to work for the Gap Legal Department on a freelance basis.
Amy partnered last year with Dawn Dobras, who was also a top level executive at Gap Inc. who, after deciding to take a summer off to spend more time with her family, chose to jump off the corporate ladder and join Amy in her pursuits to propel Mommy Track'd into a prime online destination for today's working mothers. Given their track record so far - Mommy Track'd attracts nearly 25,000 unique visitors per month - Amy Keroes is well on her way to proving that you can indeed pursue your passion while raising a family without missing a beat.
