It's a very active volcano
Vinicio Sarazua Santillan
Officials evacuated 35,000 people in Guatemala when a volcano near Antigua began spewing ash, it's largest eruption of the year, the Red Cross said.
The Volcan de Fuego, or the Fire Volcano, erupted five other times this year though Thursday's activity was the biggest.
"It's a very active volcano," Red Cross spokesman Vinicio Sarazua Santillan told CNN.
Residents living within 12 miles of the volcano were evacuated by bus and private car. Most were staying with friends and families and the rest were taken to 10 shelters capable of housing 200 people each, said Carmen Maria Caballero of the Guatemalan Red Cross.
One person was hospitalized in critical condition after the eruption while several others were treated at mobile health centers for respiratory problems, CNN reported. Ash fell in areas as far as 25 miles away from the 12,345-foot volcano.

The original Liquidator saddle fitting is not a great piece of hardware, to say the least.
It has two major flaws:
1. The clamp has a shoddy construction. If you have to loosen and retighten it a few times it gets ruined beyond repair and you canât tighten it.
2. The seal is made by a flat disc pushing an O-ring disc against a curved pipe (a 1 1/2â PVC pipe.)
In order to get a leak-free seal you need lots of luck.
Because of these two reasons the Liquidatorâs original saddle fitting was reported to leak. Mine did too.
HASA is not a hardware oriented company (they sell bleach) but Hayward is.
I installed Haywardâs saddle fitting made for their chlorinator .
See for instance here.
Itâs available on line and in pool supply stores.
Unlike HASAâs, the disc is curved to match the pipeâs curvature and the clamp is made a lot better.
The unit comes with about 2 feet of black plastic tubing (PE?) that you want to use for the fitting. You can connect it to your flexible vinyl or whatever with ¼â barb tubing fitting available at Lowâs. Donât use brass!
Before I attached the saddle fitting I wrapped around the 1 1/2" PVC pipe a few wraps of Teflon tape and punctured the 3/8â hole. Unlike HASAâs fitting this was a one shot deal: It sealed right away with no leaks!

To illustrate just how bad things were at NBC in the late 70's, the network's idea of a superhero cartoon in 1977 was, like the Robonic Stooges of CBS' Skatebirds, a satire on the genre, grafted from one of the network's most successful prime-time shows of the late 60's.
The Nitwits were a revival of a popular skit from Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In involving Tyrone, the "Dirty Old Man" (Arte Johnson), and Gladys (Ruth Buzzi, ex-The Lost Saucer), who was so popular with viewers, she also appeared regularly on the Dean Martin Celebrity Roast after Laugh-In ended its original run. In the cartoons, Tyrone had finally married Gladys, and they were now the most unlikely of superheroes. The Nitwits was one-half of a half-hour show near the bottom of NBC's lineup, sharing space with a feline sendup of Charlie Chaplin's famed "Tramp" persona, Baggy Pants.
Individual episodes of The Nitwits are not available right now, but the show open, featuring both features, is, uploaded by Muttley16 to YouTube:
Of course, Arte Johnson was already well-established at DePatie-Freleng, which produced this series, having previously worked on Misterjaw, The Houndcats, and other DFE series and specials, even while also appearing on Laugh-In. Regrettably, the lunch hour time slot, coupled with a poor attempt at recapturing the campy spirit of the 60's, doomed The Nitwits (and Baggy Pants, for that matter), as the series was cancelled after 1 season, and was the next-to-last series DFE sold to NBC. The last? A revival of Fantastic Four the next season. While Baggy Pants was laugh-out-loud funny, The Nitwits were flatter than a set of 10 year old tires.

applets not displaying properly
Erich Headrick
on 09-07-2000 at 13:17 (EST)
There is a problem with the ushop cart that I have had for a year now. I was told via email about 8 months ago that the problem was due to the pages being authored in frontpage or the browser being microsoft IE5. I then started authoring with Dreamweaver and use netscape 4.7 along with other browsers to de-bug and this problem has not gone away. Now, I just updated to version 3.0 because I felt that this was a problem that should have been corrected.
My site is
. If you go to the shopping pages they inconsitantly work fine. What I mean is that the applets from time to time scrunch up and cover other applets. I tested my machine and cleared the resources up to over 85% on all tests ran. I used several browsers and tested on multiple machines all over the US only to find the same behavior.
What I would like to know is if there is a KNOWN problem and if anyone else has a workaround. I am very happy with the cart program outside of this but the company I am doing the work for is growing impatient with my progress. I've been working with them for over a year now and they are looking forward to releasing that site for online sales soon.
Any help is greatly appreciated

If you are having a problem with the applets "scrunching" up on some browsers, then try making the WIDTH and HEIGHT parameters of the applets a little larger....that is, give them a little extra room.
Also, if you have the applets in HTML tables, then you may also want to set actual WIDTH of the tables....such as WIDTH=500....as opposed to setting the table width as a percent or not at all.
And as a third option, you may want to just look into using the one of the new "JavaScript Examples" (see the applet reference for more info on that).
2. applets not displaying properly
Erich Headrick
on 09-08-2000 at 22:24 (EST)
I will give the second option a shot. I am using tables and percentage at 100, so this may do it. I will follow up with my progress. I also notice that it doesnt matter how many applets are on the page. I can have just one and it will do it from time to time. Is there a known problem? Just curious.
3. applets not displaying properly

Well, I tried everything and no resolution. I dont understand WHY it is ONLY with INTERNET EXPLORER but it brings back a memory where I placed a "this site is optimized with NETSCAPE", due to a email from this company telling me that IE had its problems with JAVA.
I do not like the fact that I know someone there is knowledgable of this issue and not addressing it specifically. I know there is a KNOWN issue with this and it is really difficult describing this to my client. I mean, how would you tell someone that "as long as the potential client is not using IE your shopping system will work"? There is no way to tell them that. However, it would make more sense to tell them a REASON IE is not handling the applet properly and give a work-around.
I feel like I've been sent on a wild goose-chase with defining tables.

Erich Headrick
on 09-09-2000 at 10:25 (EST)
BTW... Even on your sites example store the applets do the same thing in regards to IE. I really think someone should look into this further to develop a work-around. Now, it is not just on my machine either. I have clients in New Jersey, California, New Mexico, North Carolina and Michigan that viewed the same thing ONLY with Internet Explorer.
5. RE: applets not displaying properly
Bill Weiner
on 09-09-2000 at 13:40 (EST)
No, we are not hearing other complaints of the applets "scrunching" up (as you can see in this forum). But I can tell you that any such problems that you are experiencing would be related to the tables...inside of tables... inside of tables... that you are using on your site at:
From looking at that page, it doesn't look like you tried setting the WIDTH of any of your tables to an actual pixel WIDTH yet... but when you do, be sure to specify the WIDTH of the ACTUAL TABLE CELL THAT THE APPLET IS IN.
In regard to seeing the applet(s) on our site "scrunching" up, on what page are you referring to? Give me the exact URL of the page on our site and I will take a look at it.
6. applets not displaying properly
Erich Headrick
on 09-11-2000 at 13:09 (EST)
Go here
Reload the page several times and observe the applets
This is a page I made just for you. A master table that is DEFINED TO 752 in width and a table within holding the applets from my baseball.htm that is DEFINED TO 630 in width. Now, why is there a problem with IE ONLY. I do not know how to make it any simpler to diagnose and if I am doing anything wrong here, please let me know.
If you would like to discuss this with me please feel free to call 901-565-0970
Thanks so much!

I just went to your test page at:
..using IE 5 and reloaded you page 10 times in a row... I also tried resizing the browser window between changes... and it all work totally fine for me. But if you say you are experiencing a "scrunching" problem with that page... then I'll believe you.... And therefore suggest specifying the WIDTH on the actual table cell that holds the applet.
That is, specify the WIDTH on your "td" line that is directly above your applet line.
That is, change the "td" line immediately before your applet definition from:
td align="right"
to something like:
td align="right" width="550"
And that should mimize any "scrunching" problem that you are seeing.

Thanks very much for helping me out here. It seems to be doing the trick and I cannot begin to express my appreciation for your help. Please excuse any comments that I may have made that should have been made after my "chill" pill.
Thanks again!

Hate to seem like a sore subject but it did not work. All of the tables/cells are defined on the site. I have spent several hours ensuring this and it did not do the trick. If you would view the source of this page
if you load this thing in IE5 or better you will see what I am talking about here.
(make sure you are using INTERNET EXPLORER, NETSCAPE is fine. Load the page several times and page to the bottom and top each time you load it.)
I set the values of width in every way possible. I used them as big as 640 and as small as 550. I tried applet sizes from 500 to 640 with the same result. Now the page should show the cell width at 550 and the applet at 500 heigth is 37 for the cell and 34 for the applet but keep in mind that I tried several possibilities. This ONLY happens with Internet Explorer and remember, I reported this back in the 2.0 days. Any further assistance is greatly appreciated.

I visited your site again at:
...with IE 5.0, and again everything seemed to work fine even after reloading/resizing several times. But again, I'll believe you if you say you are having a problem with the applets "scrunching" up.
I took a look at your source code and see that you put a WIDTH=600 on most of your cells with applets...which is good... however, you also put a WIDTH=640 on the tables too... and with one cell in the table... I'm not sure what the browser would do with that extra 40. Futhermore, you have so many tables on that page... with various width settings... I can't follow it through entirely to make sure the table widths/columns all correspond.
Since that test page you made the other day seemed to work fine for you....my only suggestion would be that it may be worth your time to try cleaning up/reducing the tables in your "jackets.htm" page as best as possible.

I am very sorry for seeminly waisting time here. I did a complete backup of my files on my computer and formated the hard-drive, reinstalled the os and IE5. I cannot get it to scrunch so I think it is on the client side. I really appreciate all of your help and I am going to resize those tables to make them more user friendly. Thanks,

Bill Weiner
on 09-15-2000 at 06:48 (EST)
Wow! I didn't mean for you to have to do that....But I am glad it's working for you now. Reducing/resizing those tables may still be a good idea anyway in order to minimize any such problems your customers are having.

Chad Chritton was sentenced Wednesday, with an additional five years of extended supervision. He and his wife are accused of keeping Chritton's teenage daughter in the basement with little access to food and no proper schooling. She was found after escaping the home in February 2012.
Dane County District Attorney Ismael Ozanne read aloud a letter Chritton's now 16-year-old daughter wrote to the judge, describing the abuse and her recovery since leaving the home.
"With those six years of no education, those are also the years that I started losing my life, the life I wanted to own and didn't until I ran away," the girl writes. "They turned me into their own personal slave."
No one took the stand to speak on behalf of the victim or Chritton, but Chritton read his own written statement to the courtroom. He apologized to his daughter but still maintained social services failed him and his family.
"Your honor, I pray that I can have a second chance for myself and my children," Chritton told the judge. "As I sit here today, I still love [my daughter]. I do not blame her for any of this. I blame myself for not being there for her and for the rest of my family."
Judge Julie Genovese, who presided over both the original trial in late February into March and the re-trial in November, told Chritton many people failed his daughter, including her father.
"Your daughter was the victim of profound neglect here. I think that you were overwhelmed with your two other boys," Genovese told Chritton. "I think you put your head in the sand. I really do think that you just didn't see it."
Judge Genovese sentenced Chritton to five years in prison and five years on probation for the four felony counts, including second degree recklessly endangering safety, child abuse, causing mental harm to a child and neglect.
The prosecution had asked for nine years on two counts and three on the other two. The defense requested probation.
"We get to make a recommendation, the court gets to make the actual sentence," Ozanne told 27 News after the sentencing hearing.
"I am not surprised by the sentence," says defense attorney Jessa Nicholson. "I question what value the community has in warehousing someone that has no immediate danger to the public and no apparent treatment needs."
It's rare for trials to run as long as this one did and that comes at a price.
Dane County's Clerk of Courts reports the first trial which ran for three weeks cost $8,061.48 in juror expenses alone. The clerk's office worked 30.2 hours of overtime, which cost $1,051.87. Court reporter expenses were $1,669.50. Chritton's court-appointed attorney fees cost $16,534.89.
The second trial that lasted two weeks cost $6,542.98 in juror expenses and $780.71 for 19.8 hours of court clerk overtime. Court-appointed attorney and court reporter expenses have not yet been submitted for reimbursement.
The office tells 27 News the expense for Chritton's trial is much higher than the average trial because it lasted so long. Most jury trials are only one or two days.
MADISON (WKOW) -- Chad Chritton received a sentence of five years in prison, plus five years extended supervision for neglecting and abusing his teenage daughter.
Judge Julie Genovese, in announcing the sentence, said she wanted to choose a similar sentence to the one given to Chritton's wife, Melinda Drabek-Chritton
Before sentencing, Dane County District Attorney Ismael Ozanne read a letter from Chritton's daughter, describing her abuse and recovery.
A tearful Chritton told the judge he has been fighting to reunite his family and clear his name.
In a re-trial in November 2013, Chad Chritton was found guilty of second degree recklessly endangering safety, child abuse and causing mental harm to a child. He was acquitted of false imprisonment.
In the original trial in March 2013, Chritton was found not guilty of misdemeanor neglect and guilty of felony child neglect.
Tonight on 27 News at 5 & 6, Jennifer Kliese will have reaction to Chritton's sentence in a live report from the Dane County Courthouse.
MADISON (WKOW) -- The Madison man found guilty of neglecting and abusing his teenage daughter will learn his sentence Wednesday.
In a re-trial in November, Chad Chritton was found guilty of second degree recklessly endangering safety, child abuse and causing mental harm to a child. He was acquitted of false imprisonment.
The Dane County District Attorney's Office maintained throughout both trials that Chritton kept his then 15-year-old daughter in the basement with limited food and access to a bathroom. Doctors testified the girl was found malnourished after running away from home in February 2012.
Attorneys say the three felonies pose a maximum prison sentence of 34 years and an additional 18 years of close supervision after release.
Tonight on 27 News at 5 & 6, Jennifer Kliese will share a recap of Chritton's sentencing hearing.

Accidentally transported to the future, caterer Crik escapes house-arrest with Tepper, his possible distant descendant. While pursued by volunteer vigilante Voltak, goofball Crik explores Geotopia-where buildings grow, people incorporate animal powers, smart phones know it all, and vehicles defy gravity-seeking clues. If he can discover, understand, and articulate the future's public policy that works right for everybody, he can prove he was their founder, the lone agent of change who put society on its path toward universal prosperity and harmony with nature. If he fails to convince the Futurite Authorities, they wouldn't return their unexpected visitor to the exact second he left-something their law requires-to the moment when a hail of gunfire was bearing down on the luckless caterer and college dropout...would they?
Perfect Timing by Jeffery J. Smith
- 290 pages Kindle Mobi file ASIN: B07227QQRS
Some people wonder about the future, some dwell on the past, hopefully so they can learn from mistakes. Our protagonist does neither, he is a sarcastic, wisecracking college dropout with his own plans for his life.
I read a lot of books, over ten a month, I rarely can rate them higher than two or three so I do not invest the time to do a review of them. Over one hundred books a month are printed, just about 'time'. Really it is hardly worth my time, but it is my duty and sometimes an honor to review books.
Which brings us to talk about time. As our current scientists say there is a chance for us to travel back in time, but not forward since that time has not come yet. Yet I found Jeffery Smith's Perfect Timing much different than the run of the mill time travel book.
The book takes place in the present 2017. That is what you will believe at least, but the future has other plans. Taking present time travel expectations into account, the book actually takes place in our future.
Scientists in that time period want to know who started the idea for their way of life, a very good way of life, something we do not have in 2017. For unknown reasons they zero in on our protagonist. In the process, well let's just say it was good he was transported into his future… or was it?
You will find many differences in the future, some would say it is bad and others will say it is good. For instance disease is almost completely been wiped out. There are other things that will be up to the reader to decide if they are good or bad.
I found the book to be funny in a sarcastic way and very enjoyable I wish it could have been a longer book! I rate this book a five, because of the writing and the fact that it is different from most time travel books. It is that good! If you love time travel books this is the one to spend your money on. – Remmy Meggs June 2017

Ted Mann: Action and Expression
Tennessee and Theodore (Ted) Mann, 1975.
There must be a kindness and a generosity in the theatre, and yet, ironically, there must also be recklessness, raw ambition, a stunning negation of fact and reason. Very few people manage to contain and share these traits to any satisfaction--the balance is never quite right--but the person who seems to have functioned most bravely and generously with these clashing gifts was Ted Mann.
For the theatre to function and to matter, there must not only be a willing and intrigued audience, there must not only be a pool of actors and writers and directors and designers called to serve and to grow and to challenge--there must also be a history. We look to the history of the theatre to see from where we've come, to determine where we're going. We also need to understand that we are in the process of making history for others: We are living lives and documenting these lives to make a stand and a stamp--not only on the theatre, but on hearts and souls.
When we ultimately think of American theatre from, say, 1950 to now [1982], it will be impossible to not find, front and center in our minds, the Circle-in-the-Square and Ted Mann. Ted reached back into time and found Eugene O'Neill and me and others, and he reached forward and found new and struggling and brilliant and mediocre and challenged writers--all of whom deserved a space in which they could try and fail; try and fly; simply try and try again.
Nothing about Ted made you think he would be a savior, until he fully and grandly served as one. He was one for me: At a time when I was being dismissed and re-evaluated and demoted as a writer, he kept producing my works, seeking my opinions and my company, speaking to me as if I mattered and belonged to the theatre. He is also a man who--at least on a personal level--appears to be without judgment, and let me merely say that he has seen me at my worst and still accords me the greatest respect, as both a friend and a writer in the theatre. I have fallen in exhaustion and despair on Ted Mann's office couch many times, and not a word was spoken. There was no need for words. I had his kindness and his support. There is no need for words when there is action and expression.
I'm afraid that we are losing a line of history in the theatre. We should be able to look at a season--or ten seasons--and discern where we were as a country, where we were looking, what we were hoping for, fearing, avoiding. I don't see this being possible in time: I think we are not reckless and ambitious anymore. I think we want short-term rewards, glitter, a pat on the back. I think we need to take some risks and fail a little more, shake the roof, piss off the gods.
I think we need more Ted Manns in the world--who offer a stage, a bond of friendship, a discerning eye, a gambler's instinct, and a couch you can fall into when it all seems too much.

"We're Firing Trillion Watt Lasers into the Sky": Top Scientist Admits to Weather...• http://thefreethoughtproject.com
In the aftermath of the devastation wrought by Hurricane Harvey and Hurricane Irma, and Hurricane Jose brewing in the Atlantic, many people are looking for answers as to the increasingly volatile weather being witnessed.
And while climate change is one potential cause, there are other lesser known activities that could potentially be playing a role in the manifestation of these weather anomalies.
While weather modification and geo-engineering are still somewhat taboo subjects to the mainstream, often considered to be in the realm of conspiracy theory, there is a significant body of academic research and science that confirms that these technologies not only exist but are being operationalized.
No, the Free Thought Project is not claiming the government, nor anyone else is making hurricanes or actively controlling the weather. We are only presenting this information because it exists and people should be aware that it exists.
In a segment aired on CBS in 2013, respected scientist Dr. Michio Kaku, a physics professor at City College of New York, discussed – with Charlie Rose and Norah O'Donnell – the science of weather manipulation.
During the interview Kaku, in discussing the experiments with weather modification notes that "We're shooting trillion watt lasers into the sky," referencing the use of lasers to induce changes to naturally occurring weather phenomena.
Later in the conversation, Kaku briefly touches on the history of weather modification that has been carried out for decades by the government – with the CBS hosts quickly interrupting him to note these programs were only "alleged."

Perhaps I've missed it but I thought Queens were going to try and attract young fans back to Palmerston and encourage them to create some sort of atmosphere at games . St Johnstone FC for example gave their youngsters a small section where they're sing , make a noise , fly flags etc
Come to think of it , when was the last time we actually heard anything from the Chairman or BOD's ? Some sort of update would be appreciated especially with the new season only days away

History's final chapter will be written in Jerusalem.
When an Iranian president thunders a murderous threat or an obscure Turkish drunkard has a dream in Mecca or a Jewish couple from Brooklyn lands at Tel Aviv's Ben Gurion airport, these events might seem disconnected. But they're not. In Dateline Jerusalem, CBN News correspondent Chris Mitchell connects the dots and unveils Jerusalem as the epicenter and crossroads of the spiritual, political, and, yes, supernatural worlds.
For thousands of years, Jerusalem's powerful draw has always transcended simple economics, military strategy, and religious affiliation.
In our own time, as the Arab Spring threatens to become an Islamic Winter, one commentator warns: "The Arab Spring doesn't lead to democracy, it leads to Jerusalem." Indeed, the fragile peace of Israel is in new peril as violent Islamic factions vie for control of surrounding nations. Yet Muslims are converting to Christianity in record numbers. Dateline Jerusalem untangles and chronicles all this through the riveting narrative of a Christian reporter in the upheaval of the modern Fertile Crescent.
We live in a world where we cannot afford to be ill informed. What happens in the strategic Middle East, Israel, and Jerusalem is critical. It matters to you. Today's news might focus on Washington, New York, London, or Moscow, but history's final chapter will be written in Jerusalem.Chris Mitchell's firsthand experiences and reporting uniquely qualify him to expound on and explain the major trends and developments sweeping the Middle East and affecting the world. Mitchell has served as the bureau chief for CBN News since August 2000.

The book itself is written in journal/news article form, I liked how he included scripture at the start of every chapter, it gives you a bit of prophetic insight each chapter as you move along.
Mitchell gives us instances of close calls in regards to his life. In fact, I was surprised that he was brave enough to use real names that may yet still endanger himself. However, in doing so, it gives the message some urgency and authenticity. It is an important read as Mitchell exposes many deceptions that are given to the general public. I am thankful that he brings Christ into the picture, by giving us solutions to what is happening. The solution being that Christians simply need to pray and know the times and seasons.
The timing of this book is very interesting, as it was released shortly after the government being overthrown in Egypt. Mitchell gives some references to what has been happening, leading up to this point. He shares numerous stories of people (Jews and Muslims) coming to Jesus in the midst of this chaos, as well as interviews with other Christian leaders such as Brother Yun (The Heavenly Man) from China.
This is a great, well researched and written, eye opening read. I recommend it, it will change not only the way you view what is happening in Israel and the Middle East, it will change the way you pray for the Middle East.
You should keep in mind however, it feels like reading a long series of newspaper articles (which is not surprising as Chris Mitchell is a reporter). If you have trouble enjoying news articles, you may get bored.

This is the only side we can be on, desperate for the Messiah to be revealed and for G-d to fulfill His purposes. With the many biases and slants towards the events and people of the Middle East, this proves to be an overwhelming challenge. Chris Mitchell strives in this book to show "The Lord's Side."
Chris Mitchell shares his account of his time in the middle East. As a reporter, he has had to research, investigate and walk some of the roads that lead to Jerusalem. Included in the book are some of Chris' works on Cairo, Turkey, Iran, Ukraine, Italy, and of course Israel. Like sharing one's personal testimony, it is harder to argue with eyewitness accounts.Chris shares what he saw and what he experienced. As we near the Jewish High Holy Days, he reminds us of the Yom Kippur war. He cites Ami Ortiz's story( Read more here) and what is going on globally with muslim communities. There are so many stories and experiences jammed into this book.
Chris shares the many miracles and ways he sees prophecy coming to life Ezekiel 36 and the desert blooming, he reminds us Israel is the Apple of God's eye Zechariah 2:8, cites Theodore Herzl and resolution after resolution that has been issued from the UN.
Chris sums it all up with the fact that there is more going on than just the stretching of national borders and governments rising and falling. There is a spiritual battle waging. and Israel is in the center.
Chris calls you to pray: "It's certain that biblical events prescribed by the Lord will take place, but in these last days, could the church and its power of prevailing prayer have a unique and profound part to play at the end of the age?...Once again, perhaps it will be said that "history belongs to the intercessors."
People get ready..... (Posted on 9/1/2013)

While we used another company for over 25 years and thought they were doing OK, in reality we had no idea that we "were just barely getting by".
Moving to Billiot made a world of difference as we went from "living with live roaches" to hardly ever seeing one. Wow, what a difference!
While that is one good reason to make a move, another has to do with the folks who staff your company that we come in contact with.

Stephen Stills
In My Life
Did you ever walk into a room full of strangers, look around and instinctively know that you fit in with that crowd of people? Last week, we went to see Stephen Stills at a wonderful venue called Birchmere located in Virginia. When we walked in, I turned to my wife and remarked that although I didnt know anyone in the room, I felt as though I did. This was due to the fact that it seemed to me that everyone was approximately my age, wore similar clothes and if I delved into their political leanings, I would probably have found that a significant majority of that crowd mirrored my political inclinations as well. Although I didnt jump up on a table and ask if anyone in the room had been to Woodstock, I suspect that a fair amount of people would have answered affirmatively to that question. My generation may be getting grey, but we still like great music and are willing to go out on a weekday night to see it.
Paul Simons great tune, Old FriendsBook Ends aptly describes how I felt that night. My visual every time I hear that song is of long-time friends facing each other while holding up stacks of memories in the form of books between them. Its comforting to be in contact with a friend who makes you comfortable and even more comforting to be in a room filled with like minded people as yourself. I felt very comfortable that night in Virginia having dinner and enjoying music with my contemporaries.
Aside from having real and tangible friends in our lives, we have entertainment friends that while we have never met them, know the many details of their lives as they perform for us over the years. We know them when they first come to the public eye and follow them through their careers as they too experience the highs and lows of their public and transparent lifetimes. For some, we marvel at their ability to survive and grow. Steve Martin comes to mind as someone we first saw as a stand-up comedian in a white suit with an arrow through his head who blossomed into a great actor and writer. Much like Michael Caine, who gave us the irreverent Alfie character in his early film career, he too is now looked upon as a distinguished elder in the movie business. For some performers, we are saddened that their careers are cut short by abuse of a variety of substances too numerous to mention and yet for those who are able to survive and grow, we take pleasure in following their exploits.
I remember first seeing Stephen Stills when he was a member of Buffalo Springfield. They had appeared on a Dick Clark American Bandstand episode and the next day I went out and bought their hit single, For What Its Worth which was written by Stephen. Crosby, Stills & Nash followed with their fist live performance in front of an incredibly large audience at Woodstock. CSN was followed by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. That was followed by a successful solo career while on the way working as a duo with Neil Young and a variety of the greatest artists of our time whose names are too numerous to mention.
Over the last few years, I have had the pleasure to see CSN at Jones Beach Theater on Long Island, CSNY at Madison Square Garden and now see Stephen in a very close and audience-friendly setting at Birchmere. Seeing him in any venue for me is like seeing an old friend. You pretty know what will happen. His first few songs are usually his older material which sets the tone for the evening and makes you feel comfortable although you know that his voice will be a bit hoarse. But you inevitably know that as the evening progresses, his voice will get stronger. You also know that he will exhibit all his musical skills as he plays a variety of guitars and keyboards. You can expect some political commentary and before you know it the show is over and you have sat through a delightful two hours being entertained by an incredibly talented legend of a man who deservedly is a two-time inductee into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame.
Yes, all of us from the baby boomer generation are fighting the ravages of time. Most of the male friends of my age have receding hairlines or are failing at working on ways to creatively make a few hairs on their collective heads look like many. We weigh more than we should and need to exercise more often. Our entertainment heroes who have shunned the plastic surgeons knife actually look like us and that makes me quite happy.
Seeing Stephen Stills in concert is like seeing your old friend. You listen to the old tunes and visually reminisce about where you were when you first heard him sing Marakesh Express with David, Graham and Neil. You remember his blonde hair under that cowboy hat he wore when he sang with the Buffalo Springfield and how bad you felt when the group broke up. You marvel as to the way CSN performed at Woodstock, their first live performance. You know that at this point in his career the voice isnt quite the same as it used to be, but when he hits the high notes, you applaud and on some level are glad he hit them so well after all these years. And in the end, you walk out of the concert hall smiling.
Stephen is currently touring in support of his latest album called Man Alive! On some of the tunes, he has enlisted the musical and vocal support of such rock luminaries as Graham Nash and Neil Young. The album is produced by Stephen and Joe Vitale, who was his drummer for the show at Birchmere and whose career as a session man includes some of the greatest tunes ever recorded. Finally, any fan of Stephen Stills knows that over the years we have been treated to a few songs on his albums and his concerts that have a musical Spanish influence. This obvious reverence for Latin flavored music by Stephen is a result of his spending some of his youth living in Latin America. The last cut in Man Alive! is called Spanish Suite and among the musicians on that tune are jazz great, Herbie Hancock on piano along with Stephen, Joe Lala, Pete Escavedo and Willie Bobo on percussion. This 11+ minute cut at the end of the album is an apt beginning to yet another chapter of a musical legacy from a man who has given us so many years of classic music and who obviously has many more years left to give.

Follow me to see how I make money in any market cycle. Join Free Now >
Buying rental properties in my area has gotten more difficult as market prices have increased. I have seen only a couple of listings in the last six months that meet my criteria for a rental property. With it becoming harder and harder to find great rental properties, I have started to consider buying an out-of-state, turn-key rental property. Not only do I think it may be a good investment to buy a long-distance rental, but I refer turn-key companies to the readers of this blog and I could give a first hand account of buying a turn-key property.
What exactly is a turn-key rental property?
People have different definitions of turn-key properties, but this is what I feel a turn-key rental is. A property that is repaired or in very good shape, rented on a long-term lease and managed by a reputable property management company. Turn-key rentals properties allow an investor to buy out-of-state property without having to find a Realtor, property manager, contractor or a great deal.
Here is an article that explains turn-key rental properties in much more detail.
Even though turn-keys are rented, managed and repaired, investors still have to complete due diligence on turn-key companies. There is no guarantee the property manager, contractor or turn-key company is doing a great job.
Here is a great article on how to complete due diligence on turn-key rentals.
Would a turn-key rental property produce the same returns as a local property?
A turn-key rental property may not produce the returns I am I used to, but that doesn't mean it would not be a good investment. Turn-key properties provide good cash flow, even though you are not buying them below market value. I would prefer to buy properties below market value in my area, but if I can't find any, it doesn't do me much good to wait on the sidelines until the market changes.
Because it is tough to buy turn-key rentals below market value, my returns would not be as high as they are now. From what I have seen, turn-key properties range in price from $30,000 to $200,000. The lower priced homes tend to hit the two percent rule for rent and the higher priced properties are around the one percent rule. I usually see over 20 percent cash on cash returns on my rentals on top of the 20 percent or more equity I gain by purchasing cheap. The returns with turn-key rentals would be in the 10 to 15 percent range.
Is it wise to diversify your rental properties?
I wrote an article that talks about why I do not diversify my rental property purchases. My argument was that I get so much better returns by buying the same market, because I am a real estate agent and I can get great deals. But if I can't find enough good deals in my market, that eliminates a big part of my argument against diversification. A property in another state would certainly diversify my investments. If two markets produce similar returns I definitely think it is wise to diversify your investments.
Why buy a turn-key rental instead of find my own out-of-state rental?
I would love to be able to find an awesome market with great rentals, that I could buy below market. The problem is it would take a lot of work to complete the process. I would want to research any area I bought in thoroughly, which I would do with a turn-key as well. If I didn't buy a turn-key, I would also have to find a great real estate agent, property manager and contractor.
I would have to visit where I invested multiple times before I could buy anything. I would want to meet the people I was doing business with and see the neighborhoods where I was buying. The difference with a turn-key rental property, is I trust the companies I have been in contact with and I trust they are hiring the right people. They have been in business for years and have repeat customers, which is also a great sign.
When you are trying to find a real estate agent, contractor and property manager you do not know if they have the same mindset as an investor. The turn-key companies are catered just for investors.
When you buy a from a turn-key company you are paying a premium to get a houses that is rented and managed. The turn turn-key company wants to be compensated for finding a property manager, tenant, contractor and making it turn-key for the investor. The question is whether it is worth giving up equity by purchasing a turn-key rental at retail value (or slightly higher).
I do not have a lot of extra time with my flips, real estate team, the blog and three-year old twins.
Would I buy an out-of-state rental property without seeing it?
It is tough to give up control of anything. It took me a while to hire an assistant, because I was worried about someone making mistakes. It turns out my assistant completes tasks better than I do and it was one of the best decisions I ever made. Over the years I have learned I can't do everything myself and the more help I have the more successful I am. Buying a rental property without seeing it would be giving up a lot of control!
I have bought houses without seeing the interior when I bought them at the trustee sale. I still saw the exterior and knew the market so it wasn't quite the same situation.
The most similar thing I have done was buy the Lamborghini without seeing it. I did sit in a Lamborghini Diablo to make sure I fit, but I had never driven one before I bought my Diablo. The car was in Washington state and I am in Colorado. I did not have time to fly out and see the car and I ended up buying it without driving it or seeing it in person.
The reason I bought the Lamborghini sight unseen was I trusted the dealer. He had many Lamborghini's, knew everything about cars and had a great reputation in the business. I was able to talk to other dealers, talk on Lamborghini forums and they all knew the dealer and said he was trustworthy.
There is one particular turn-key company I have met in person and I have a level of trust with them. Many other investors in the industry trust them and they have done a lot of deals. They sold about 600 turn-key properties last year and I know as a Realtor you can't sell that many properties by screwing people over. This particular company has also helped me immensely with my business, my website and marketing. We have the same mindset, love goals and I feel comfortable they have worked hard to provide value for investors.
The fact that I trust this company is the reason I have seriously considered buying a turn-key property and it would provide great value to the blog.
What kind of returns would I get on a turn-key property?
One problem with buying out-of-state properties is I have 11 mortgages in my name. It would be difficult to finance properties, because my portfolio lender does not loan outside Colorado. Not only would I have to find a Realtor, property manager and contractor, I would have to find a new bank. But the company I would work with has turn-key properties as cheap as $30,000, which I could buy for cash.
From what I have seen the cheaper properties are renting for $700 to $800 a month, which is a pretty awesome ratio. If I use Invest Four More cash flow calculator I come up with about $369 in monthly cash flow. I see about $500 a month in cash flow on the rentals I buy locally with financing and about the same cash investment.
Paying cash for a rental property goes against another of my principles. The returns are higher when you get a loan, because you use less of your own money. However that is when you compare similar priced properties to each other. If I am spending the same amount of cash on a more expensive financed property as a cheaper cash property, then the advantages decrease. If I am not getting enough deals in my market to finance, then I am not realizing that advantage anyway. If there was a way to finance these properties I could have huge cash on cash returns!
Is it risky to buy a $30,000 property?
Many people do not invest in cheap properties, because they have lower quality tenants, more maintenance and are harder to rent. I agree with most of this in my market, but I think you have to look at each market you are in to see what price points bring the best returns.
I could have bought a number of $30,000 properties in my area a few years ago. I did not buy in that range, because I wanted long-term rentals and felt the middle range properties offered better long-term prospects.
I am not perfect and sometimes I wish I would have bought those $30,000 properties, because they are now worth about $100,000 or more! Hindsight is 20/20 and I still don't try to predict appreciation. I am not saying $30,000 is the best price to buy at or every market will see those gains, but you can make money buying cheap houses. If they have great cash flow in an area with a solid economy then I am not too worried about buying one. This is something I will have to research much more before I buy a turn-key property.
How many turn-key properties do I want to buy?
I have not decided for sure to buy any turn-key rentals. I still have a lot of due diligence to perform and data to analyze.
There are a few markets this turn-key company operates in; Ohio, Florida, Pennsylvania and I believe Georgia. I want to get a few samples of properties they have for sale in those areas and then compare the returns with each markets economics.
If I buy a turn-key property, I will buy one property and analyze the investment for a while to see how it performs before buying anymore. In a perfect world I will see a lot more deals come up in my market and I won't need to buy anymore turn-keys.
How will buying a turn-key property help Invest Four More?
I refer turn companies to readers of this blog. Many readers ask me what turn-key company I have used and how it went. I can't answer that question, because I have never used a turn-key company before. I know the companies I refer out are are legitimate, have done hundreds of deals and what markets they are in, but I don't have personal experience buying from them.
If I were to buy a turn-key property,it would give me much more knowledge on the process and perspective on the investment. I will not be shy on sharing the good, bad or ugly that happens if I buy a turn-key.
In the worst case scenario if buying a turn-key property turns into a huge disaster; at least I will be able to educate others about my experience. It will be very expensive education!
I am going to research buying a turn-key rental property in another state much more. I want to analyze the returns, local markets and if it makes sense to give up higher returns in favor of less work and diversification. If the market I buy in has a stable economy and good rental rates, I think it would be hard to lose money in the deal as long as I complete due diligence on the property.

Aboriginal Peoples Television Network (APTN) is the world's first Indigenous national broadcaster dedicated to Indigenous programming. First broadcast on 1 September 1999 in Winnipeg, Manitoba, APTN provides various content, including news, dramas and documentaries. Aimed at diverse audiences, APTN offers programming in Indigenous languages, English and French. It broadcasts into more than 11 million Canadian households and businesses, a significant portion of which are located in remote areas. APTN mainly generates revenue for operations through subscriber fees, advertising sales and partnerships.
Alternative media provide a range of perspectives and ideas that are not necessarily available in the profit-driven media products and outlets that dominate the Canadian mediascape. They include traditional media forms, such as books, newspapers, magazines, television, radio and film, as well as nontraditional and so-called "new media" forms such as zines and online publications and podcasts. Some definitions also include street theatre, murals, postering and culture jamming.
SchoolNet was an educational project launched in 1993 by federal, provincial and territorial governments, educational organizations and industry partners. Their goals were to link Canadian schools and libraries (particularly those in remote areas) via the Internet and to foster the creation of a Canadian educational website in English and French.
The Province is a Vancouver daily, founded 1898. The newspaper was launched in 1894 in Victoria, BC, as a weekly, called The Province, by Hewitt BOSTOCK and his associates. In 1898 the Klondike Gold Rush started business booming in Vancouver and it was decided to transfer the operation there.
Newspapers are printed publications that are issued daily, weekly, or at other regular intervals. They provide news — that is, new and noteworthy reports of important or interesting recent events —opinion and analysis of those events, and other information that is of public interest. They are staffed by reporters, editors, photographers, and designers. Newspapers generate revenue by publishing advertisements, as well as through paid subscriptions and individual sales. Their content is available online, where it is published with greater frequency than in print. Almost a third of daily newspapers in Canada charge readers for their some or all of their online content. Some Canadian newspapers now publish solely online, having discontinued their print edition. Others were started as online news platforms, serving the same function as newspapers.
Northern Review was a literary magazine appearing irregularly, 1945-56, edited by John SUTHERLAND. It represented the end of the era when Montréal was the leading centre of modern Canadian POETRY IN ENGLISH. It arose from the merger of the earlier rivals, Preview and First Statement.
This Hour Has Seven Days, a weekly television program which ran from 4 Oct 1964 to 8 May 1966. Produced by CBC public affairs, the show achieved unprecedented popularity through its combination of serious topical and satirical elements, fast-moving pace and occasionally unorthodox and innovative subject matter.
Media convergence is a term that can refer to either: 1) the merging of previously distinct media technologies and media forms due to digitization and computer networking; or 2) an economic strategy in which the media properties owned by communications companies employ digitization and computer networking to work together (see Media Ownership).
McClelland & Stewart Inc, publishing company founded in 1906 by John McClelland and Frederick Goodchild as McClelland and Goodchild Limited. When George Stewart joined the firm in 1914, his name was added to the title, but the present form was adopted after Goodchild's departure in 1918.1
The Canadian newspaper industry moved away from political patronage and partisanship about the turn of the 20th century, when the number of daily newspapers peaked. Objectivity rather than partisanship gradually became the focus of newspaper journalism, which became increasingly professional. As more people moved to cities and literacy rates climbed, competition among newspapers became fierce in markets where multiple daily newspapers were sold. As a result, many newspapers closed, merged with others or were acquired by growing media conglomerates, which became highly profitable corporations. By the 1980s, media concentration was the subject of government study and concern. However, no changes were implemented for fear of encroaching on press freedom. Near the end of this period, experiments with electronic publishing signalled the great changes ahead.
The first newspapers in what is now Canada were published in Nova Scotia and Québec in the early 1750s, followed by Upper Canada in the 1790s. Known as gazettes, they were instruments of colonial governments that were tightly controlled and monitored by the government officials who subsidized them. It wasn't until 1800 to 1850 that independent newspapers were first established. During that time, printing presses became less expensive to establish and operate, and literacy rates and an appetite for news and views developed.
Independent newspapers were first established in Canada between about 1800 and 1850. During that period, printing presses became less expensive to establish and operate, and literacy rates and an appetite for news and views developed. Since publishers were less dependent on government subsidy than before, they were free to question and criticize the powers that be. As a result, an independent but not impartial journalism developed. From the mid-1800s to the early 1900s, newspapers became more profitable as populations and commerce expanded and reader and advertising revenues grew. During this time, mainstream newspapers represented the interests of political parties and cultural groups.
Nortel Networks Corporation, or simply Nortel, was a public telecommunications and data networking equipment manufacturer. Founded in 1895 as the Northern Electric and Manufacturing Company, it was one of Canada's oldest technology companies. Nortel expanded rapidly during the dot-com boom (1997–2001), purchasing many Internet technology companies in a drive to remain competitive in the expanding information technology (IT) market. At its height in 2000, the company represented over 35 per cent of the value of Toronto's TSE 300 index. It was the ninth most valuable corporation in the world and employed about 94,000 people worldwide at its peak. But Nortel soon entered an extended and painful period of corporate downsizing, and in 2009, the company filed for bankruptcy protection in the largest corporate failure in Canadian history. Shareholders, employees and pensioners suffered losses as a result. Company executives, however, were paid a total US$190 million in retention bonuses between 2009 and 2016. Nortel sold off its assets for a total US$7.3 billion. Those assets were scheduled to be distributed to Nortel's bondholders, suppliers and former employees in 2017.
Prior to the 1960s, only a few periodicals were published for Aboriginal people, mainly by non-Aboriginal missionary and government organizations. Notable examples were the Chinook-language Kamloops Wawa (1891-1905) and the Inuktitut-language Oblate publications of the 1940s and 1950s.
Le Canadien was a French-language newspaper published in Québec City from 1806 to 1893. The paper was founded by Parti canadien leader Pierre-Stanislas Bédard and its first edition was published 22 November 1806. Created in order to counter the Quebec Mercury, the voice of the British elite in Lower Canada and a vocal opponent of the Parti canadien, Le Canadien educated French Canadians on their constitutional rights, promoted the aims of the French Canadian majority in the elected assembly, and fought for the preservation of the French Canadian nation. Its motto was "Nos institutions, notre langue et nos lois" (Our institutions, our language and our laws). Though many editors guided the newspaper, it was under the direction of Étienne Parent (1831–42) that it became one of the most influential in the colony, playing an important role in the rise of the famed Parti patriote. The newspaper shut down in 1893 and was briefly revived in 1906–9.

The meeting of the Agricultural and Rural Development Committee which took place in Strasbourg on 20 October 2011 allowed for an exchange of views between MEPs and Agriculture Commissioner Dacian Ciolos about the reform of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP).
Commissioner Ciolos underlined his determination to cap the payment given to large agro-enterprises. "What we wish for is to have more coherence, more transparency and more clarity and justification of the way in which the payments will be attributed," he added.
José Bové, Member of the European Parliament and Vice President of the Committees on Agriculture and International Trade showed his preoccupation about the degression beginning at 150.000 EUR. In his eyes, nothing will change and it will only be a marginal degression.
"I don't think that the objective of the cap of payments is to hurt the big enterprises and that it fair to say that it is by definition a bad thing," Commissioner Ciolos responded. For me, the problem is transparency in the way in which these payments are attributed. I think that 150.000 EUR as a starting point for the degression and 300.000 EUR as a cap are reasonable levels."
The next meeting of the Agriculture and Rural Development Committee will take place on 7 November 2011.

The United States kicked off its opening "Group of Death" match in Group G of the 2014 FIFA World Cup against Ghana on Monday.
Raleigh offers a host of venues for international football fanatics and U.S. soccer supporters. In no particular order, here are a few:
BuzzFeed, a social news and entertainment website, ranked The London Bridge Pub (110 E. Hargett St.) the best place to watch soccer in North Carolina. The English pub has four 50-inch TVs inside and a projection screen outside under an event tent in case of rain. The London Bridge will stay open beyond its typical business hours for every World Cup game. However, this bar doesn't offer food.
But don't fret. Tir Na Nog Irish Pub (218 S. Blount St.) is right around the corner. This larger establishment offers food and drinks to complement its seven HDTVs and 12-foot movie screen with surround sound, which was brought in just for the World Cup audience. This pub also periodically will give away Carolina RailHawks gear and tickets.
East Village Grill & Bar (1 Dixie Trail) offers a rarity off Hillsborough Street – its own parking lot. This kid- and pet-friendly establishment has 13 TVs, a new menu and a deck. It will unveil a March Madness-type World Cup bracket with an opportunity to win a prize after pool play concludes.
Tobacco Road Sports Café (222 Glenwood Ave.) is another family-friendly establishment to watch the World Cup. It has almost 30 TVs, including two that face the outside crowd, and typically has a laid-back "young, professional" atmosphere.
Last but not least is the oldest bar in Raleigh: The Player's Retreat (105 Oberlin Road). The Player's Retreat has 16 TVs and two projection screens with surround sound. This might not be the destination for soccer fanatics, but it offers a nice atmosphere for families and a familiar N.C. State feel for students and alumni.
