How to Avoid Getting Screwed When Renting an Apartment: Advice from a Landlord Another few to add: - Make sure that the landlord is aware of your home business and writes that into the lease that you can operate it there, see clients, and do work on the property. (and if you don't have a home business, what's your excuse for why haven't you started one yet?!?) - Get it on the record who will pay to fix or replace appliances. - Get it in writing that you can do minor car/motorcycle repairs on the property. - Try to get it in writing that the landlord will provide or reimburse you for a lawnmower and/or other large home maintenance tools if you don't have them. - A lot of landlords will pay you to make minor improvements to the property - adding blinds, landscaping, better screens, better light fixtures, etc. - ALWAYS ask for a rent reduction on a lease renewal, and bring up how you always pay on time, you've maintained the property perfectly, and there have been no repairs. -Watch out for the "carpet cleaning" scam. - Try to get a rent discount if you pay early.

Sweet Search The Chicago Manual of Style Online: Chicago-Style Citation Quick Guide The Chicago Manual of Style presents two basic documentation systems: (1) notes and bibliography and (2) author-date. Choosing between the two often depends on subject matter and the nature of sources cited, as each system is favored by different groups of scholars. The notes and bibliography style is preferred by many in the humanities, including those in literature, history, and the arts. This style presents bibliographic information in notes and, often, a bibliography. The author-date system has long been used by those in the physical, natural, and social sciences. Aside from the use of notes versus parenthetical references in the text, the two systems share a similar style. Notes and Bibliography: Sample Citations The following examples illustrate citations using the notes and bibliography system. Book One author 1. 2. Pollan, Michael. Two or more authors 1. 2. Ward, Geoffrey C., and Ken Burns. 1. 2. Editor, translator, or compiler instead of author 1. 2. Lattimore, Richmond, trans. 1.
Reference, Facts, News - Free and Family-friendly Resources - Refdesk Classic Pushup: Men's Health.com Good for: General upper-body conditioning Balance your weight on your toes and palms, with your hands a comfortable distance apart, probably just beyond shoulder-width. Your body should form a straight line from your ankles to your head. Squeeze your glutes and brace your abdominals, and keep them that way for the duration of the exercise. Variations: Three-point pushup (place one foot on top of the other to make the exercise a little more challenging); decline pushup (set your feet on a bench or chair to strengthen your shoulders); and triceps pushup (place your hands close together, directly under your shoulders, and keep your elbows tucked close to your sides as you lower your body—an adjustment that shifts the work from your chest to your arms).
LC Network Services Bulletin West Virginia Statewide Broadband Infrastructure Program April 25, 2011 Some of you have been contacted by Frontier requesting information about hook-ups and Fiber-optics at your library. Since these calls/visits are becoming more frequent, and in some cases may become quite technical, I thought it best to send you a note to let you know “what it is” and “where we are” and “what you need to do”. You may already be hearing words like BTOP, middle mile, last mile and regional WIFI from your local news sources. The State successfully obtained the grant to bring high-speed Internet access to vastly underserved areas of the State. Right now, the State has hired engineers to perform site surveys to see if they are able to bring fiber cable to or near our library buildings. I want to assure you that the Library Commission is involved 100% with the engineering and design of this future upgrade and that all 176 Public Libraries have been slated as eligible anchor institutions.
