I wouldn't call this "canon" to the rest of the universe.
Personality/Bio: Brand is a newly-born lesser fire spirit who, like all fire spirits, was born from a volcano. Specifically Mount Asuma in Japan. He (more convenient than "it") since travelled to Tokyo because plot. He finds setting things on fire fascinating, not quite realising the pain and damage he causes in doing so. He's curious, slightly oblivious, and doesn't understand human speech. In effect, he's a walking hazard.
Honestly, the Cybermen were at their best in "World Enough and Time" and "The Doctor Falls"
In NuWho, yeah. But NuWho Cybermen are glorified robots most of the time. Spare Parts blows World Enough and Time and The Doctor Falls out of the water, along with the vast majority of the rest of Doctor Who. It's rarely included in "Best Doctor Who Stories" lists, because of the medium, but when it is included, it's almost always #1.
You mean the Audio Story set on Mondas? I've been meaning to see that. Anywho, several of the Tennant Who novels recived an unofficial audio version read by either David Tennant and the ñerson who played Martha.
Duuude. Get into Big Finish. It's absurdly hard to justify a lot of the prices to other people, but so easy to justify to any fellow Big Finish addict. I mean fan.
Spare Parts is a good, cheap starting point. It's about three quid for two hours of utter brilliance. Personally my favourite range is the War Master, Derek Jacobi kills it as the Master.
Nightmare, he can create images of a being's worst nightmare, a perfect illusion of their greatest fears.
Mirror, He can create mirrors out of thin air, and travel through them. Technically can cross dimensions, but for the sake of the RP, wouldn't be used unless say we go to an alternate dimension.
Dimensional Illusion, in his pocket dimension, all illusion powers are amplified by 100% (doubled). Nightmares can cause physical damage in his pocket dimension.
Echo, He can copy any voice he hears.
Loss, when a being is defeated by their nightmare, they lose 20% power in Void Eater's pocket dimension.
Final Nightmare, Void Eater can become his last LV 5 nightmare, he gains the ability "Void Weapon"
Flight, allows VE to fly and travel fairly quickly by this flight.
allows VE to create near life-like illusions of all kinds, though they aren't perfect, in his pocket dimension they're so life-like it's nearly impossible to tell difference.
Personality/Bio: Void Eater desires one thing, his own death. He is an inter-dimensional being that travels with a simple mindset, to improve others, though his "tests" could cause someone's death.
I updated the profile after PMing Mctoran if it was fine.
Stand Power: Shepherd of Fire can cause an object or person to become covered with a blue flame, which may or may not cause damage, with a punch. If the blue flames do not cause damage then they are invisible to everyone but Shepherd of Fire, other stand users, and the person afflicted. Shepherd of Fire always knows the location of these flaming objects, and can draw them back to him with a force that becomes more powerful the further away it is.
So you don't want me in it?
no I'm saying that it would be better for you to focus your attention on Gundam and 2059 general. Sorry if that came of as rude.
But what about y'all? Don't you all need to focus on your characters in those RPs?
Nah I can easily focus on the Dreadnoughts as they are men of few words, and I have one character in 2059 general who is more of an observer.
I appreciate the concern though.
Best make sure that we don't lose interest then.
So I should make sure y'all don't lose interest?
That's the GM's job but eh okay.


If you're looking for something new in your smart phone that is also a little green, check out this really cool snap case.
I opened up the bamboo snap case, and was delighted. I have few friends who are a little more zen than tech, but they still are permanently attached to their iPhone. THIS state of the art snap case is perfect for them.
The Evutec wood snap case is made with real bamboo, but it incorporates Kevlar (yes Kevlar) into its shell. This makes it super light weight and thin, but still protective of your address book, photos, and apps.
I love the look of the bamboo on the phone, but they also make covers that are just made out of the recycled Kevlar layers that look very urban.
Dual fused layers of DuPont™ Kevlar® Fibers outer shell is 0.7mm thin. Thin, light-weight case with scratch resistant coating. DuPont™ Kevlar® is lightweight and extraordinarily strong, with five times the strength of steel on an equal-weight basis and it does not block your cellular signal.
The Evutec snap cases are available for the iPhone products, including the iPad, as well as Samsung. The best thing is that I can afford these. At only 39.95 MSRP I can buy these for a few friends for Christmas, and get one for myself.
I was not paid for this post. All editorial contest belongs to BusyBeeBlogger.com. I was given product to review.

Lexington mother calls for ceasefire in gun violence
By Victor Puente |
LEXINGTON, Ky. (WKYT) - Lexington set a new record in 2019 for the number of homicides in the city. Twenty-nine people were killed last year, topping the city's previous record of 28 in 2017.
A Lexington mother says she knows the pain those families are going through.
Anita Franklin's son was killed in 2014. Monday would have been Antonio's 27th birthday. He was an innocent bystander, shot in Duncan Park.
For his birthday, Franklin knew of one way to honor him.
"I thought about it for a while and I said 'I got it.' I want a ceasefire. A ceasefire for today. Today I don't have to receive a phone call that somebody lost their life, there was a shooting. That's the best present that I could receive," said Franklin.
She put a request on Facebook, asking for a ceasefire in Lexington. One day, when no other mother would have to go through what she has.
In the years since Antonio's death, she's become an avocate for gun violence victims, and has organized peace rallies. She says keeping juveniles from getting guns would be one step to help save lives.
"Quit saying 'rest in peace,' and live in peace," said Franklin.
She's doing what she can. But she's going to need some help.

Protecting you and your estate
Personal Cash and borrowing
Retirement Income Forecast
Market Bulletin (05/10/2015)
As investors bid farewell to a volatile third quarter, now is a good moment to put some of the recent fearmongering into context. The data was never going to look rosy; and, sure enough, when the figures came in, they reflected the impact of fears that have hounded markets in recent months: China's slowdown, uncertainty over the timing and impact of the Federal Reserve rate rise, poor corporate earnings and, most recently, the crisis at Volkswagen, were perhaps the most important.
The S&P 500 dipped 8.7% over the quarter. Global stocks generally saw their biggest drop since the same quarter in 2011. Taken together, activity in mergers & acquisitions, debt and equity markets, and syndicated lending generated fees of $16.5 billion – the lowest quarterly total since 2011. The Bloomberg Commodity Index was down 14.8%, its biggest quarterly drop since 2008.
Meanwhile, in a report released last week, the IMF warned of an increase in corporate failures in emerging markets if the US – and its retinue of developed-world central banks – chooses to raise rates. It pointed in particular to a surge in dollar-denominated debt in emerging markets, which it identified as the common prequel to a downturn in emerging markets. Emerging market borrowing costs have spiked to those levels experienced during the 2013 Taper Tantrum.
Some signs were good, however. September's manufacturing PMI suggested that the global economy continued to expand moderately in the third quarter, while mergers & acquisitions activity showed an upward trend in both August and September. The US economy continued to grow (as did China's, of course) and US unemployment continued to fall, having reached its best figure for seven years in August. Economic sentiment in Europe (before the VW news, at any rate) reached a four-year high and an array of leading indicators suggested the UK economy is in good health.
Given market affection for rounded numbers and neat timespans, the simple fact of stepping out of the third quarter seems likely to lift spirits. Volatility is not likely to disappear quite yet, not least because the fears afflicting markets have not gone away, and October has a history of wide trading margins. Volatility is particularly dangerous for the purer forms of tracker funds – by following market movements they not only miss out on bargains, but actually increase volatility. For a long-term active investor, on the other hand, the short-term pricing anomalies created by volatility can provide buying opportunities.
The S&P 500, FTSE 100, FTSEurofirst 300 and Nikkei 225 all enjoyed an end-of-quarter relief bounce on the final day of September. After a volatile week on markets, marked by uncertainty over the global economy, the most important news came late in the week: US non-farm payrolls rose by 142,000, 29% lower than the expected figure of 200,000. Gold and Treasury bonds saw inflows as a result and stocks initially dipped on the news, but recovery arrived fast – by the end of the week the S&P 500 and FTSE 100 were up by 1.14% and 2.87% respectively.
Still emerging?
But what of those big fears already mentioned? As we have said before, the coming Fed rate rise is not to be feared, and neither does a slower growth trajectory in China mean that a crisis is on the cards. (Official Chinese data has never been fully trusted by analysts, so the recent questions are nothing new.) Nevertheless, even official Chinese figures continued to disappoint, and Asian currencies more broadly ended the quarter at a six-year low. Manufacturing activity in the People's Republic contracted for the second consecutive month in September. The government cut a sales tax on small cars as the sector looks set to contract in 2015 for the first time since the 1990s. Investors remain nervous.
Yet the Shanghai Composite didn't fall drastically over the course of the week (foreshortened as it was by a national holiday) and its trading range in September was, of course, far tighter than in August – around 240 points against August's 1,050-plus. (It remained above its August low throughout September.)
Moreover, the more general downturn in capital markets in emerging economies – investors pulled around $40 billion out of emerging markets in the third quarter – has brought prices to a point where some investors are ready to head back in. Chris Iggo, CIO of global fixed income at AXA Investment Managers, is mildly optimistic. "We've been reducing our EM exposure in both credit and sovereign bonds over the past five to six months," says Iggo. "Over the next few months, though, buying opportunities will start to increase."
Small fears
In Europe, despite the ongoing crisis at Volkswagen, there were a number of positive signs last week. After a rough quarter, the FTSEurofirst 300 experienced a choppy week, dropping early as the Volkswagen effect continued to play out, before rising again, only to be hit by US payroll news. It ended the week down 0.14%, with Friday's post-payrolls recovery looking set to continue. Fears over Volkswagen now appear to be priced in – some believe by too much. "VW's provision of $6.5 billion to cover crisis fallout is pretty chunky but the market cap has fallen by almost $30 billion," says Stuart Mitchell, manager of the Greater European fund at S. W. Mitchell Capital. "Sales might be slightly hit too, but it's hard to see how the impact on the brand could be what the market implies."
Business sentiment was much improved in September, and a number of the countries worst-hit by Europe's debt crisis are now showing strong signs of post-crisis turnaround. Spreads on 10-year Italian government debt continued to tighten last week, and a revised forecast published last week said the Irish economy is set to grow 6.5% this year. S&P raised its nominal GDP growth forecast for Spain to 4% and raised Spain's credit rating one notch to BBB+. Spanish regional elections saw pro-independence Catalan parties gain a majority of seats in the regional parliament, raising the likelihood of an independence referendum for Catalonia, which accounts for a fifth of the Spanish economy. "It's definitely worth thinking about," says Stuart Mitchell. "There's heated rhetoric about independence, but it's a while off and less than 50% of the vote went with pro-independence parties – and it wasn't even an independence referendum."
In the UK, new data published last week showed second-quarter productivity rising 0.9%, its highest rate for four years. UK stocks were helped by an energy and commodities rally late last week – Shell rose over the week despite its decision to cease drilling in the Arctic. Proposals aired at the Labour Party conference (from higher taxes to Bank of England reform) were largely ignored on markets.
Growth bedrock
Disappointment over the payrolls data announcement took 10-year Treasury yields down six basis points on Friday to 1.98%. The news made Janet Yellen's rate rise deferral look all the wiser – emerging market stocks were buoyed by the news. Markets are particularly sensitive to monthly data at the moment, given recent volatility, but US figures more broadly give cause for optimism. Indeed, amid the headline news of China and Volkswagen, it can be hard to remember how important steady US growth is for the global economy and for capital markets.
Data released in late September indicated the US economy grew 3.9% in the second quarter, which was above expectations. Some third-quarter blues are expected, and markets are priced accordingly; but the broader trend remains positive, and some fund managers expect to pick up on summer stock discounts before price rises return. Markets are not yet entering calm waters; but as the quarter ended, the storms of the summer were continuing to subside – despite the ongoing doom-mongering.

A New 'Pet Sematary' Trailer Is Here To Scare The Crud Out Of You
Film & TVHorror
· February 7, 2019
Image Courtesy of Paramount Pictures
If you've been glancing over 2019's slate of film releases, you may notice that one month is absolutely jam packed. You'd be forgiven for assuming we meant a summer month, but no, we're looking squarely at April. Loaded with kids films, indie fare and superhero offerings, there's something there for everyone. Not to mention, the film many people are gnashing at the bit to get a look at: a new adaptation of Stephen King's Pet Sematary. Should you not be entirely sold on that picture, it's highly recommended you check out the new trailer, released today. Slight warning though, if you want to avoid small spoilers, it does reveal a new twist they're making this time.
This looks even better than the initial trailer released months back. There's a darker, meaner tone used here. One that definitely ups the creep factor. Then there's the big change here in who is inevitably killed and brought back. Some may see this as a disappointing diversion from the source material, but going from what's displayed, it looks like it will work just as well. Either way you slice it, creepy kids are terrifying. And a reminder to always protect your ankles, at all cost.
As per usual, we've got a trusty official synopsis, to help those unfamiliar with the material:
"Based on the seminal horror novel by Stephen King, Pet Sematary follows Dr. Louis Creed (Jason Clarke), who, after relocating with his wife Rachel (Amy Seimetz) and their two young children from Boston to rural Maine, discovers a mysterious burial ground hidden deep in the woods near the family's new home. When tragedy strikes, Louis turns to his unusual neighbor, Jud Crandall (John Lithgow), setting off a perilous chain reaction that unleashes an unfathomable evil with horrific consequences."
We know trailers are often just glorified sizzle reels, but this one works like gangbusters. It leaves us very curious as to how the end result plays out. When there's talent behind the camera like Kevin Kölsch & Dennis Widmyer (Starry Eyes), not to mention a screenplay by David Kajganich (Suspiria) and Jeff Buhler (The Prodigy), they should be able to do King's tale of terror justice.
How do you, dear reader, feel about the trailer? Sufficiently creeped out or are you hoping the film goes even darker? Have you read the original novel before? Make sure to tell us, in the space provided below. We'll be buying tickets immediately for this, as it seems this may just be one of the best mainstream horror releases of the year. Along with the likes of Us, Happy Death Day 2U, IT: Chapter 2, Doctor Sleep and Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark, this could be a banner year for the genre. More good big budget horror offerings is something we will always champion here at the site. Make sure to mark your calendars for April 5th, when Pet Sematary shuffles its way into theaters.

CLARK et al. v. INTERNATIONAL HORIZONS, INC. et al.; and vice versa.
(243 Ga. 63)
BOWLES, Justice.
Mandamus, etc. Fulton Superior Court. Before Judge Weltner.
These cases began with a complaint filed in Fulton Superior Court by the Peachtree Heights Civic Association and individual homeowners to prevent the conversion and use of a neighborhood residence as a private school by International Horizons, Inc. and Suzuki Learning Center, Inc. The case was dismissed after hearing. This appeal and cross appeal follow the dismissal.
The Association and homeowners, appellants in Case No. 34071, appeal from those parts of the order holding that an Atlanta city ordinance which allows the establishment of a private school in a residential district if it provides a curriculum the same as that ordinarily given in the public schools is not void for vagueness; that the delegation of authority to a building inspector to determine whether the curriculum is the same is not unlawful; and that a building permit vests a right to use of the property at the time of its issuance and is not affected by a subsequent change in the zoning ordinance.
International Horizons, Inc. and Suzuki, appellees in Case No. 34071, brought a cross appeal, Case No. 34072, from the same order, assigning as error the trial court's failure to dismiss the suit below on the grounds that the suit was barred by appellants' failure to pursue available legal remedies. The cases are consolidated for decision in this court.
In the summer of 1977, appellee International Horizons, Inc. began to implement a plan to start a school in Atlanta based on the teachings of Shinichi Suzuki. On October 4, 1977, Suzuki International Learning Center, Inc., was formed as a Georgia non-profit corporation. The purpose of the corporation, as stated in its Articles of Incorporation, was to establish a pre-school program for children between the ages of two and six.
A staff member of International Horizons assigned to find a location for the school suggested that the corporation buy a residence at 2906 Andrews Drive, Atlanta, Georgia. The residence was located in an R-3 Single-Family Dwelling District. The zoning regulations applicable to an R-3 district classified a kindergarten as a special use of the property. On August 17, 1977, a conditional contract for the sale of the residence was entered into by Suzuki and the owner. The sale was made contingent on Suzuki's obtaining a special use permit authorizing the operation of a kindergarten on the property.
Application for a special use permit for a pre-school was filed with the Planning Department of the City of Atlanta. The Planning Department recommended denial of the special use permit, as did the Zoning Review Board. The application was denied by the Atlanta City Council on January 3, 1978.
While the application for a special use permit was still pending before the city council, Suzuki submitted an application for a building permit to use the residence as an elementary school. At that time, a private elementary school could be operated in the zoning district without obtaining a special use permit, if the curriculum of the proposed school was shown to approximate that of the public elementary schools. Appellee William Hewes, Assistant Director of the Bureau of Buildings of the City of Atlanta, determined that Suzuki's proposed program would be a permissible school, and on October 31, 1977, issued a building permit to allow the conversion of the residence to a primary school.
On January 9, 1978, the Atlanta City Council approved an amendment to the regulations for R-3 Single-Family Zoning Districts which reclassified private schools of any kind as a special use of property located in the district.
Suzuki purchased the residence located at 2906 Andrews Drive, N. W. on February 3, 1978. Conversion on the house under the October 31, 1977, permit was begun in March. Suit was filed by the Neighborhood Association on March 20, 1978, seeking an injunction to prevent further conversion of the house; a declaratory judgment that the establishment of a school at the residence would be in violation of the zoning ordinance; a mandamus requiring appellee Hewes to enforce the Atlanta City Code by revoking the building permit; and an injunction to prevent Suzuki's use of the property in violation of the zoning ordinance.
A temporary restraining order was issued, which enjoined any alteration to the exterior of the residence for the thirty days after March 21, 1978, but allowed interior modifications to continue.
After a hearing on the evidence, an order was issued which held that the provision of the Atlanta zoning ordinance allowing private schools in residential districts was not void for vagueness, nor was it an unlawful delegation of authority; and that the right to the property use had vested on October 21, 1977, under the rule stated in Keenan v. Acker, 226 Ga. 896 (178 SE2d 196) (1970). The appellants' complaint was dismissed. We affirm the dismissal.
1-2. Appellants contend that the issuance of a building permit in October, 1977, did not vest any property rights in appellee Suzuki so as to allow use of the property in violation of the zoning ordinance passed in January, 1978, where there was no substantial reliance upon the issuance of the building permit by commencement of construction. The facts are undisputed. Appellee's building permit was issued in October, 1977, based upon a permitted use under the zoning law then in force. On January 9, 1978, the applicable zoning restrictions were amended to require a special use permit for the operation of a private school on the property. At the time the January amendment was passed, appellee had not purchased the residence at 2609 Andrews Drive and had not begun any alterations or construction on the house.
While many jurisdictions have held that the issuance of a building permit does not operate to vest in the owner of the property the right to use the property as permitted by the building permit without a showing of substantial reliance, this is not the law in Georgia. This court held in Keenan v. Acker, supra, that a building permit legally obtained and valid in every respect may not be revoked by the zoning authority because the property is subsequently. zoned against the type building sought to be erected. No showing of reliance is required. In Gifford-Hill & Co. v. Harrison, 229 Ga. 260 (191 SE2d 85) (1972), the court extended the rule to allow one in a contractual relationship with the owner for purchase of the land to be issued authorization to use the land for the purpose for which it is zoned at the time he makes his application for such authorization.
It is undisputed that on October 31, 1977, appellee Suzuki was a party to a contract to purchase the residence at 2906 Andrews Drive and on that date, a private elementary school was a permitted use under the zoning ordinance in effect. Therefore, appellee Suzuki was entitled to have a building permit issued upon a showing that it complied with the regulations for the issuance of the permit. The permit, when issued, gave Suzuki a vested right to use the property as a private elementary school.
In January, 1978, the amendment to the zoning ordinance made a private elementary school subject to the provision of the special use permit. The use of the property as a school did not become, as contended by appellants, a non-conforming use. A non-conforming use is usually defined as a lawful use of the premises existing on the effective date of the zoning regulations, and continued thereafter, which does not conform to such regulations. 82 AmJur2d 684, Zoning and Planning, 178. As the term itself implies, a non-conforming use is different from the use which municipal authorities consider best for the public health, welfare, morals and safety in that area. See: Beyer v. Mayor &c. of Baltimore City, 182 Md. 444 (34 A2d 765); Anno. 87 ALR2d 4. Although it may be a constitutional requirement that non-conforming uses be protected from the retroactive effect of zoning regulations, such uses are not favored in the law because they detract from the effectiveness of the comprehensive zoning plan. See: Anno. 56 ALR3d 14, 48-50, 7; 56 ALR3d 138, 166, 7; 57 ALR3d 279, 317-319, 7.
By contrast, a special use is one provided for in the zoning ordinance itself, and involves a prior legislative determination that the use permitted is compatible with other uses in a zoning district. See: 82 AmJur2d 504, Zoning and Planning, 70; Anno. 40 ALR3d 385, 5. Where special uses are stated within the ordinance itself, they constitute a part of the comprehensive plan which is evidenced by the ordinance, and the approval of the special use permit poses little threat to the character of the area.
The "saving clause" contained in the Atlanta City Code 16-24001 refers to non-conforming uses and is not applicable to the facts in this case. Therefore, the issue of whether under the ordinance, Suzuki's right to use the property could be divested by failure to begin actual construction by January, 1978, is not raised.
Appellee Suzuki complied with the requirements of law in regard to obtaining a building permit, which was legally issued. The trial court correctly held that the permit could not be revoked by the zoning authority.
3, 4. Appellants contend that the ordinance requirement that the building inspector determine whether a proposed school is prepared to offer "a curriculum the same as ordinarily given in the public school" is too vague and uncertain to be constitutionally enforceable, or in the alternative, it is an unlawful delegation of a policy decision to an administrative official. There is no allegation that appellee Hewes abused his discretion under the terms of the ordinance.
We agree with the trial court that the portion of the ordinance allowing the issuance of a building permit for the construction of private elementary schools is not void for vagueness. Looking to the expressed intent of the zoning ordinance, we find that the regulations contained therein sought to promote desirable living conditions and promote stable neighborhoods through the development of recreational, religious and educational facilities. By requiring that the curriculum of private elementary schools be the same as ordinarily given in public schools, the city council was insuring that any private schools in the area would be compatible with and aid in stabilizing the residential character of the district to the same extent as the public schools, and would create essentially the same external circumstances in terms of school year calendar and hours of operation. This provision would not require a high-level analysis of the goals, philosophies or particular teaching techniques of a proposed school. See: Bell v. Barrett, 241 Ga. 103 (243 SE2d 40) (1978).
Viewed in the context of the entire zoning ordinance, the provision is not too vague and uncertain as to render it unenforceable, nor does it delegate excessive legislative authority to the city building inspector. The inspector is not required to make an educator's assessment of the curriculum, but must determine whether the private school appears to have an environmental impact on the community similar to that of public schools.
The judgment in Case No. 34071 dismissing appellant's complaint is affirmed.
5. Because of the holding in Case No. 34071, it is unnecessary to consider the error enumerated in the cross appeal, which sought dismissal of the appeal on an additional basis.

Court rules to protect the appeal rights of benefit claimants
The Upper Tribunal has declared the Government's restrictions on access to the social security appeals system to be unlawful, in a test case brought by Child Poverty Action Group (CPAG).
The Tribunal's decision enhances and protects the appeal rights of the hundreds of thousands of benefit claimants who each year seek to challenge refusals of benefit.
Since 2013, where a claimant wishes to challenge a decision to refuse a benefit, the claimant was first required to apply for a 'mandatory reconsideration' before appealing to an independent tribunal. The Department for Work and Pensions has consistently asserted that where it decides a mandatory reconsideration application has been made too late, the claimant cannot then make an appeal. The effect has been to exclude large numbers of benefit claimants from access to the justice system, and in the words of the Upper Tribunal, 'result in a significant number of claimants who are entitled to benefits not being paid them'.
This court decision then has emphasised the importance of access to justice, and will make it much easier to challenge unjust benefit decisions at a tribunal.

The Collector Series Plastic Chess Pieces - 3.75" King
Product Code: MENCOL375
"Crafted to replicate the design and proportions of the original Staunton pattern Chessmen, registered by Nathaniel Cooke in March of 1849 and first manufactured by Jaques of London in September 1849"
The House of Staunton is proud to offer the Collector Series Plastic Chess set. This full-tournament sized Premium Plastic Chess set features a 3.75" King with a 1.75" diameter base. The Chess pieces are the heaviest sets on the market with felt base pads on the undersides of the Chessmen.
The Collector Series Plastic Chess set has been crafted to replicate the design and proportions of the original Staunton pattern Chessmen, registered by Nathaniel Cooke in March of 1849 and first manufactured by Jaques of London in September 1849. The distinctive feature of this set is the the open-mitered Bishop and Knight design, which is modeled after the noble steeds from the Greek Parthenon (Elgin Marbles.)
History of the Chess Pieces
As with all of our Chessmen, the Collector Series Plastic Chess set exemplifies a perfect combination of distinct beauty and functionality. It has been designed to withstand the rigors of practical play while maintaining an elegance which has become the hallmark of a House of Staunton chess set. The design, quality and craftsmanship of this set is UNMATCHED by any set of Chessmen in its price range. Nothing even comes close!
The Chessmen are new and each set consists of 34 Chessmen, including four Queens, a standard that was introduced by The House of Staunton over 10 years ago.
The increased interest in the game of Chess, particularly in international play during the late 18th century and early 19th century, brought about a renewed demand for a more universal model for chess pieces. The variety and styles of the conventional form begun in the 15th century had expanded tremendously by the beginning of the nineteenth century. Some of the more common conventional types popular during the period included the English Barleycorn chess set, the St. George chess set, the French Regence chess set, and the central European Selenus chess set. Most pieces were tall, unweighted, easily tipped and cumbersome during play. But their major disadvantage was the uniformity of the pieces within a set. A player's unfamiliarity with an opponent's set could tragically alter the outcome of a game.
By the early decades of the 19th century, there was a great need for a chess set whose pieces were easy to use and universally recognized by chess players of all backgrounds. The solution emerged in 1849 with the introduction of a new pattern Chess set that was registered by Nathaniel Cook and manufactured by the firm John Jaques of London. The Chess Set, which had the endorsement of the British Chess Champion Howard Staunton, became known as the Staunton Chessmen and were soon the standard on which most tournament playing sets have been made. That traditional is proudly continued on to this day by the The House of Staunton.

Danny Summerhill outperformed his competitors on Day 2 of the U.S. Open of Cyclocross, earning the first-ever victory for theMaxxis-Shimano Cycling Team. The races were held October 17-18 in Boulder, Colorado.
After finishing just two seconds behind the first-place rider on the first day of the Open, Summerhill took the win the following day. He posted a winning time of 56:14, marking the first victory for Maxxis-Shimano in their rookie year.
Summerhill wasn't the only Maxxis-sponsored rider to top the podium at the Open. Like her Maxxis-Shimano counterpart, Georgia Gould of the Luna Pro Team took second place at the initial race before going on to win the next day. Gould's victory in the women's race was decisive; she crossed the finish line in 47:53, 1 minute and 11 seconds before the next rider.
Maxxis congratulates these two outstanding riders on their victories and thanks them for choosing the brand of champions.

Thousands of Syrian refugees back in school through Turkey's efforts
by daily sabah
ANKARA Education
A Syrian teacher with a Syrian student at a school inside a refugee camp in the eastern city of Malatya.
According to Turkish authorities, the school enrolment rate for Syrian refugee children in Turkey has reached nearly 63 percent, a success amid focused efforts to prevent a generation of Syrians from going uneducated
The school enrolment rate among Syrian refugee children in Turkey has reached nearly 63 percent, thanks to the efforts of Turkey and the international community. Minister of National Education İsmet Yılmaz said that some 611,524 out of a total 976,200 school-age Syrian children have enrolled at schools in Turkey. Yılmaz was speaking at a protocol-signing ceremony in the capital Ankara, where the European Union agreed to provide 160 million euros to build 60 schools for Syrian children.
"Once complete, there will be 215 schools built specially for [Syrian children]. These schools will have the capacity to accommodate 153,000 students," the minister said.
Turkey already accepts Syrian students in public schools but the language barrier and different curriculum have proven to be an obstacle.
Yılmaz, however, said that they have come a long way on the language issue. "Some 384,292 students now attend classes that follow a Turkish curriculum, compared to only 62,000 in 2016. Apart from public schools, 227,232 students attend "temporary education centers" in 21 Turkish cities with a large presence of Syrian refugees.
Yılmaz said that they have reached their goal of having all children in school only for grade schools whiles schooling rate remains low among preschool and high school students.
"We need better infrastructure to boost the enrolment rate," the minister pointed out, referring to the need for more schools, staff and equipment.
To speed things up, some schools will be made using prefabricated units, in the fashion of some refugee camps built in Turkish border cities. "We see them as 'saved' when they are integrated into the education system. Education is a basic human right," the minister said.
Speaking at the protocol-signing ceremony, Christian Berger, head of EU delegation to Turkey, said they had to relieve Turkey's schools of the burden posed by the increasing enrolment rate among Syrians.
"Neither Turkey nor the EU can let the emergence of a lost generation among Syrian children," Berger said, that these children would be the ones who would rebuild Syria in the future. He noted that the EU would also provide support for education material, the teaching of Turkish and Arabic, as well as psycho-social support services. EU funds will also provide scholarships to Syrian students, Berger said.
Education is a major concern for Turkey which eyes better integration of refugees as there is no end in sight to the Syrian conflict. Amid mass displacement and attacks, most Syrians are forced to drop out of school, joining the so-called "lost generation" of refugees without proper education.
Experts warn that the lack of education spells trouble for refugees in the future and lessens their chance to escape economic dependence.


Scuba Forum - Scuba Diving Forums and Discussion Board > Scuba and Dive Gear Forum > Tanks > 1974 LP 72 questions?
View Full Version : 1974 LP 72 questions?
Quick question. I was given a LP 72 made in 74, from what I can tell.
There are also 3 hydro markings on the tank.
There may be more markings, but the tank was painted at some point in the past.
Am I translating this right?
The tank is under pressure, with a J valve. A couple places where the paint has chipped away has very minor surface rust.
Should I have the tank stripped before sending it off for a hydro and vis?
Technically obscuring markings on a cylinder will make it fail an inspection, so if it is obscured I would certainly strip it first, but be aware that it will rust in the blink of an eye so I'd be prepared to paint it with ZRC when you finish up.
That's the nice thing about galvanized cylinders, they're tough and it takes a lot to remove the coating. My LDS had a bunch of them forsale last year at $50 ea with current hydro and VIP, but every single one of them was painted and looked like hell. But, as old as they were no serious rust. Probably like yours some had 3 different colors of paint on them in different spots.
I would get it hydro'd before doing anything. One of mine also given to me, of the same vintage just failed.
The paint on it looks like a latex paint, rolled on. Same style texture. One of the older hydros looks like it was stamped, then someone with a heavy hand on a spray gun laid it on thick. Tank looks like hell, it should clean up nice, though.
make sure no heat is involved aka baking the paint on.
Normal procedure is a quick VIP to see if it's worth sending out for hydro. No sense spending that money if it's going to fail anyways. Plus, just because it passes hydro doesn't mean it will pass the VIP.
For what it's worth, everybody should see a hydro shop in action, pretty neat and not what you would expect.
It passed a quick and dirty VIP, so off it went for stripping, and sealing. Buddy is going to put a light primer and seal coat on it.
If it's galvanized you don't need to seal it. If it's just paint you would be fine, just be sure all the markings are intact and that you keep a record of paint and technique used. Some shops will not fill a cylinder that's been repainted so if you have one of those kind of shops around I'd also check with them for suggestions so that you don't end up in the cold.
Not galvanized, as there was a light surface rust where the last hydro was stamped.
To be honest, if it was my cylinders I'd get ZRC's paint and use that. Roll a couple coats on and you're good to go, never rust again if you prepped the steel right and it's galvanized this time around. I've dinged mine a few times and scraped the coating accidentally, no issues due to it. Just like a real hot dip galvanized coating, well almost. It's cold.
Otherwise, paint with just a good car paint that doesn't need to be heat cured and you'll be fine. Just check for rust every so often.
Now off to hydro... I'll drop it this weekend.
Thank you!! have a graphic designer friend working on the pin up as I type this!
Very nice looking tank!! Is the J-valve still operational? I have a couple of AL 72's that came with the J-valves. Both still work perfectly. Congrats again, tank looks great!!
The J Valve did still work, but I'm replacing it with a yolk valve.
I never can understand why everyone feels they need to replace a perfectly useable J valve with a K valve when all they have to do is just leave the reserve lever in the down position.

Women in Law: A Bio-Bibliographical Sourcebook
By Rebecca Mae Salokar; Mary L. Volcansek | Go to book overview
RUTH BADER GINSBURG (1933–)
On August 10, 1993, in the East Room of the White House, Ruth Bader Ginsburg stood before Chief Justice William Rehnquist. With her husband, Martin Ginsburg, holding the Bible and President Bill Clinton looking on, she recited the oath of office as the 107th justice of the United States Supreme Court. Although Ginsburg is only the second woman to rise to the bench of the nation's highest court, her contribution to the history of American law was made well before mis momentous occasion. As an educator and an advocate, Rum Bader Ginsburg worked diligently throughout the 1970s to advance the rights of women in the United States. And it was largely her own experiences with discrimination that motivated her to pursue legal and social change.
Justice Ginsburg's life presents a portrait of the often romanticized American success story. Born in the Flatbush neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York, to first-generation Americans, Ginsburg overcame innumerable personal, social, and professional obstacles to reach the nation's highest court. What is most fascinating about the second woman in history to serve on the United States Supreme Court is her lifelong streak of independence, and it is mis trait mat makes journalists and scholars squirm when assessing her career as a judge and, most recently, as a justice of the United States Supreme Court. An understanding of that independence is possible, however, when seen in light of her commonsense approach to law, combined with the experiences that she brought with her to the Court.

Joan Ruth Bader was born on March 13, 1933, in Brooklyn, New York, to Celia Amster and Nathan Bader.1 In the throes of the Great Depression, the

About the Editors and Contributors 371


King Woman opened 2018 by offering up a one-off cover of the Stone Roses' "I Wanna Be Adored," but frontwoman Kristina Esfandiari spent much of the rest of the year primarily focused on her shoegaze/dream-pop solo project Miserable, which released a double-EP Loverboy / Dog Days. In 2019, the husky-voiced singer will turn back to her doom band King Woman, who are looking to follow up 2017's acclaimed Created in the Image of Suffering with more ghostly vocals and feedback-soaked grooves.
Feature on Kristina Esfandiari of King Woman & Miserable is in the new Issue #26 of Hooligan Mag now available for reading online or in hard copy.
Avant-doom masters King Woman and instrumental power trio Russian Circles have joined forces on a country-wide US tour, selling out venues left and right. It's no wonder, because both of these bands make music heads and tails above what most other genre-crossing heavy bands are putting out these days.
King Woman have recently signed on with Sargent House management, the long time home of Russian Circles and a ton of other amazing bands, and this tour seems to be a coming out party for them, putting them in front of bigger audiences and opening new ears to their deeply emotional and moving musical expression.
Kristina Esfandiari has lived many lives in her 30 years. For starters, she survived a "spiritually overwhelming" upbringing in a cultlike community near Sacramento. "(There was) manipulation through words and music, all done in the name of God," says Esfandiari, who moved to the Bay Area when she was 22.

Since each closet we build is unique, so is every story.
The builder's-grade master closet just wasn't cutting it for Cathy and her husband, James. Tired of dealing with a cramped, inefficient space, they were more than ready when a direct mail piece showcasing Laren arrived in their mailbox.
After working with Contained Home Organizer, Kristen Shoemate, the couple decided on the Flint finish with Smooth-Front Doors and Drawers and Oil-Rubbed Bronze Bar Pulls. LED Lighting showcases shoes and handbags. Other must-haves include a shoe wall, two concealed Hampers, an Extendable Valet Rod and Extendable Tie Rack. James and Cathy couldn't be happier with their new space. It's become one of their favorite places in the house.
As an incredibly busy Miami lawyer, François needed a closet and dressing area designed to help him to start every day out on the right foot. He wanted the space to be relaxing, organized and a reflection of his tailored style.
When it came to designing his space, François selected the Satin Oak finish with Smooth Drawers and Doors for a combination of open and hidden storage. Ties, belts, active wear and more casual clothing are concealed in drawers and behind doors, while his collection of shoes is proudly displayed. An Extendable Valet Rod and Pull Out Mirror make it easy to put together an outfit that's sure to impress.
Is it the Customizable Island topped with Carrara marble? The mirrored back panels behind the shoe shelves? The adjustable LED lighting? Brooke Cracken says it's hard to decide what her favorite part of her new 375-square-foot walk-in closet in Dallas is. But one thing is for sure, she loved working with her Contained Home Organizer, Charlie Turo, to bring it to life.
For Brooke and her husband, the perfection is in the details. The gorgeous Aspen closet with Shaker Doors and Drawers is the ultimate marriage of beautiful form and function in a limited space. Tempered Glass Doors protect clothing from dust, while the built-in vanity features a special drawer just for her jewelry. And the mirrored shoe walls with LED lighting make her handbags and shoes feel like art. Just walking into the space makes her happy!
When Piper and her husband, Matt found a charming, renovated 1960s ranch house with space to start a family on beautiful James Island, they enlisted the help of our Atlanta-based Contained Home organizer, Claudia Morris-Barclay to help them assess the master closet and maximize the space.
The biggest challenges were making sure Piper could make full use of her vast wardrobe while leaving Matt space for his clothes and accommodating the two entrances. The result was a gorgeous closet in Pure White with Smooth Drawers and Traditional Pulls. Claudia made sure to include plenty of extras like Piper's favorite bench with hidden storage and a space where the couple can display inspirational quotes and a few pictures.

Tennessee: Davis Open to Primary Rematch With Roe
You might have missed him during his short stay on Capitol Hill the first time around, but former Rep. David Davis (R) may not be done with Congress just yet.
Davis, a one-term Member who was defeated in the 1st district GOP primary last year by now-Rep. Phil Roe, said this week that he's staying active in local party politics as he mulls a comeback bid in 2010.
"There's not a day goes by back in the district that somebody doesn't ask me … Are you going to run again?'— Davis said in an interview. "Right now I just honestly don't know. I'll have to wait and see if that enthusiasm is still there when we get closer to next year.—
Davis, who has returned to his post as president of the health care service company he founded in Johnson City, also offered his take on Roe's performance during his first three months in Congress.
"I think he's voted the way I would have voted. … We'll see how that goes in the future,— he said. However, Davis noted, "I don't see him out quite as much in the community as I think I was.—
Davis added that he's pleased the Tennessee state Legislature is considering a bill that would change the primary system by making voters register for a specific political party. Currently, Volunteer State voters simply declare at the polls which party's nominating process they want to vote in.
Following his loss to Roe, Davis claimed he had been a victim of crossover voting by a large number of Democrats who, he said, went to the polls for Roe because they believed Davis would be the tougher candidate to beat in the general election.
"A lot of Democrats voted for [Roe] last time,— Davis said of the GOP primary. "They probably won't be there for him— in 2010.

Working mom transitions into workforce
Rifle | May 1, 2013
Stefanie Kilts
Colorado Mountain College
Stefanie Kilts Colorado Mountain College
Robyn Kent was worried about the gap on her resume. Although she had been a licensed psychiatric technician for the State of Colorado for five years, she had taken time off to raise her two kids until they reached kindergarten.
"I hadn't worked since 2005," she said.
At that point, she was living in New Castle, and as she thought about getting back into the workforce, she found Colorado Mountain College was an easy choice to make. In addition to the location and flexibility of the classes, affordability was a big plus for Kent.
"I could afford to pay cash for my education so I didn't have to take out any student loans," she said.
When she considered universities outside Colorado, she said she was looking at $27,000 to $30,000 a year. She estimates she spent $5,000 last year at CMC for her education.
"I saved $22,000 to $25,000 [each year] on my education," she said. "It's a huge value to me."
This spring, she will earn three degrees: Associate of Arts, Associate of Science and Bachelor of Science in business administration.
Inaugural bachelor's grads honored on Friday and Saturday, May 3-4
This spring, across the multi-site community college, 58 students have petitioned to be the first to receive bachelor's degrees from CMC.
"We are very pleased with the strong response to these new degrees," said Dr. Charles R. Dassance, interim president of the college. "Enrollments are in line with what we'd anticipated, and we love hearing stories of how our students are able to put their education to immediate use."
Only three years ago, Colorado Gov. Bill Ritter signed the bill to allow Colorado Mountain College to offer a limited number of bachelor's degrees. The bill was a result of extensive research the college conducted, showing unmet demand from employers and students in north-central Colorado.
"There was no physical location where our local residents could earn a bachelor's degree within our service area, which is the size of the state of Maryland," said Dr. Brad Tyndall, senior vice president of academic affairs at the college. "With overwhelming support from our communities and students, and a lot of hard work to prepare the curriculum and find excellent instructors, we were able to convince our legislators and accrediting body that we could meet this need."
A few short months later, in the fall of 2011, CMC started offering bachelor's degrees in business administration and sustainability studies. Now, two years later, the first enrollees who brought with them previous college credits or an associate degree will be among a historic class of graduates. All students earning bachelor's degrees this spring will be given a place of honor in the college's inaugural Alumni Hall of Fame.
Perseverance pays off in degree, new job
Kent, the only student from CMC's Rifle campus graduating this spring with a bachelor's degree, will be the student speaker at the campus graduation ceremony on Friday, May 3.
To finish her bachelor's degree and two associate degrees in two and a half years, some semesters Kent has taken upwards of 24 credit hours, while still maintaining an "A" average.
The hard work has paid off. She was recently hired by a Remax real estate agent as a personal assistant in Glenwood Springs.
"She doesn't let anything stop her," said Susan Looney, a business instructor who mentored Kent. "She's so driven and motivated to work through the program. She's taking a full load and she also has to take care of her family."
Kent's new job will include working on contracts, appointments and marketing for the real estate agent. She credits her CMC business degree for providing what she needed to obtain the job.
"My degree opened some doors for me," she said. "All the skills I have from class will be utilized."
She said she may pursue a master's in nursing down the road, but for now is enjoying the work that is adding to her resume.
"The bachelor's program enabled me to transition from being a mom to the workforce," Kent said.
"If it wasn't for the bachelor's degrees we have, she wouldn't have been able to further her education," Looney said. "It's amazing to be able to give this opportunity to so many students."
Spring commencement ceremonies for Colorado Mountain College in Rifle are set for 7 p.m. Friday, May 3, in the Clough Auditorium on campus, 3695 Airport Road.

Have His Carcase by Dorothy Sayers
Over the last few weeks, I nibbled my way through Have His Carcase by Dorothy Sayers. Since re-reading (and falling in love with) Gaudy Night a couple of months back, I wanted to re-read this preceding book in the series in the hope of picking up some early appearances of the themes that crop up in Gaudy Night. Ultimately, I have to say that this book felt a lot less substantial so far as the themes go. But it was still a wonderfully clever and entertaining story.
Harriet Vane, the detective novelist last seen in Strong Poison trying to get clear of a charge of murder while fending off the goggle-eyed attentions of upper-class sleuth Lord Peter Wimsey, is on a walking holiday on the south coast of England when she stumbles across a corpse atop a rock on the beach. With his throat slashed from ear to ear and a razor lying below his hand, the young bearded man lying there seems almost certainly a suicide - if it wasn't for the fact that he's wearing gloves.
Knowing that the tide will come in and carry the body away before she can make it to the nearest police station, Harriet does the best she can to investigate and photograph the body. Sure enough, by the time she finds help, the tide has come in and the body is gone. Now only Harriet's evidence remains to solve the question: did Paul Alexis, a young dancer of Russian extraction, really kill himself to avoid marrying the elderly Mrs Weldon? Or was he murdered - but if so, how?
Have His Carcase is another of the Dorothy Sayers novels I didn't properly appreciate when I first read it as a teenager (what a philistine). It's actually quite lengthy and complicated for a detective story - our sleuths discover so many complications among the various suspects and witnesses that the book must be about twice the length of your usual Agatha Christie mystery. By the end of the story, I had to wonder how much of the complicated plot really seemed credible. But that's beside the point, really. The intricacy of the plots and counter-plots is the whole delight of this novel: the central mystery is like one of those pictures that is two (or even three or four) different things at once, depending on how you look at them. When the final piece of the puzzle falls into place in the very last chapter, it's a wonderfully satisfying moment. I was actually quite surprised: I usually forget the final twists to detective stories, remembering instead the character interactions. But for me, the final twist was one of the most memorable things in this whole book. I remembered it quite clearly even more than ten years later.
Which is not to say that the character interactions aren't wonderful in this book. Not all the Peter Wimsey stories feature his emotionally scarred and prickly love interest Harriet, but their courtship makes up a sort of trilogy within the larger series, beginning with Strong Poison and continuing with this one before culminating with Gaudy Night (a fourth, Busman's Honeymoon, would deal with Peter and Harriet's first days of married life). Have His Carcase features Harriet prominently as a viewpoint character, and she and Peter banter and argue their way through the story in an entertaining fashion.
One of my favourite things in Gaudy Night was its picture-perfect references to what it's like to be a novelist, and Have His Carcase had plenty of these moments as well. Harriet, a mystery novelist, now finds herself having to investigate a mystery of her own, and if Have His Carcase has a central theme, it would have to be about the relationship of fiction and life. In some ways, Harriet's work as a novelist equips her to investigate the mystery; in others, it fails her. As a novelist, she knows how she would arrange matters; but is this what has actually happened? The point is driven further home when we discover that the corpse, during life, was a voracious reader of Ruritanian-style romances. Sayers has fun satirising these implausible melodramas, but her touch is light enough that it takes a bit of thinking-over after the end of the story to realise that Have His Carcase is, among other things, rather a thoughtful discussion of the power of fiction. Paul Alexis's uncritical intake of literary trash makes him vulnerable. Harriet's stories, meanwhile, aren't necessarily a lot more substantial. They are entertaining popular fiction - but Harriet brings to them a clear-eyed acknowledgement that they only go so far as a guide to life. I think that's actually appropriate for a book that, like this one, strains belief with its sheer over-the-top complexity and cunning. Have His Carcase is a book about fiction that never forgets that it is fiction itself.
Have His Carcase was a lot of fun, but like Gaudy Night and so many of Sayers' other novels, with its wonderfully real and believable characters, and its audaciously complicated plot, it stands head and shoulders above pretty much every other classic detective story you will ever read. Perfect for that time when you want to read a whodunit that can't be guessed within the first ten chapters.
Find Have His Carcase at Amazon, the Book Depository, or online as an ebook at The Faded Page.

Gaudy Night is on my must re-read every year shelf. It's not only the culmination of Peter and Harriet's love story (with the best. ever. proposal!), but it's Sayers' love letter to Oxford.
I love all the Lord Peter mysteries (the short stories are every bit as good, too), but Gaudy Night is pretty special all on its own, even if a reader isn't a classic mystery fan, or hasn't read any Sayers previously.
Allow me to add a mention to the sort of coda short story, "Tall Boys". And to note we have been largely enjoying Jill Paton Walsh's completion and additions (but, idiotically, have yet to read 'The Wimsey Papers'!). And to add, how delightful Ian Carmichael's audiobooks of Sayers's Wimsey stories are.

A "straight-and-narrow" young woman is hired to babysit and tutor the daughter of a mega-rich couple who turns out to be a woman child who has been left alone in her daddy's mansion under house arrest. It's harsh. It's graphic. It's fast. It's hilarious. Also, T.J. Miller guest stars.
AMAZING show! I will post more details and photos next week once I get a chance to edit them down. Seriously, so many pictures. My phone's memory card has the itis from all of the great photos Aaron shot during both sets.
I am a big fan of enamel stud earrings especially when they have a little bit of sparkle! I always go back to the LC line at Kohl's and find great enamel pieces to add to my collection. I picked these up in white last weekend and have worn them every single day this week!

Q: heroku free tier and SSL certificate workarounds? DNS beginner here so bear with me-- I have a small heroku node app and I can't afford the $7/m hobby plan that you need to auto generate an SSL certificate. I have a custom domain from AWS Route 53 that points to the app, but only the www. address works, not the https:// address, I gather because I don't have the SSL certificate.
I saw that there were some cloudfront hacks (2) but mixed reviews about whether they work, and they sound a bit too complicated for me, a beginner.
Are there any workarounds? Like, could I have my https:// AWS address just redirect to the www. one? Could I wrap the ssl'd heroku app in an iframe? Or are there other heroku jamstack type alternatives that offer more inexpensive SSL certificates?

A: You could potentially use CloudFlare's free SSL with heroku, here is a blog post that goes through the process.

Purchasing used auto parts is a very inexpensive way to get a vehicle repaired and you will help keep trash out of landfills all over the world. Vehicles are wrecked and junked every single day, but there are still salvageable parts that can be pulled off of them and resold. They more than likely are the original parts, panels, or hardware that was provided from the original automotive manufacturer.
In today's world, there are a lot of car buyers and users who prefer to do work themselves to save money. Most know that because used auto parts cost significantly less than your OEM replacement parts, used auto parts have been a trend we see increasing among car owners all over the United States. Years ago, society would look at junkyard parts as a "second hand" selection, but now its the preferred method of obtaining quality used parts to repair their vehicles. Even mechanics are suggesting a trip to the junkyard compared to purchasing a new part, because of the incredible savings. Not all used parts are the same, and only ones in good quality A grade condition can be comparable to a new part. Remember, these vehicles ended up in the junkyard or salvage yard for a reason.
It's very easy to get scammed on the internet. However, with new platforms appearing every day, you can read reviews, and other user experiences before you make a purchase with an online junkyard or used auto part vendor online. You want to make sure the seller is experienced and equipped with the right systems and policies to guarantee you an amazing used auto part purchasing experience. Check for customer feedback, testimonials, and any complaints that may or may not have been filed against the used auto part vendor. You can also check with the ARA (Automotive Recyclers Association) to see if they are a member because this organization requires perfect customer service, and screen all of their junkyard members every single year, just like UsedPart.us.
You will find that there are thousands of vendors and junkyards all over the country, thanks to UsedPart.us junkyard inventory system.
