Way, Way, Way back machine, The Internet Archive

Heather Rankin Lake Powell Utah/Arizona Real Estate (ERA Utah Properties) — Sun, 22 Jun 2008 03:09:27 -0500

Teri Lussier posted a blog today on communication and touched on something we'd been chatting about - writing so that in 10 years you'll not be embarassed by it.

One of the responses to her blog mentioned the Internet Archive so I thought I'd give some info on it as I've been a frequent user.

Started in 1996, the internet archive has indexed billions, 85 billion to be exact, webpages - yes indeedy, your past can come back to haunt you!

I've managed some php based websites and about 8 months ago one of our servers was hit by a trojan. Most everything was saved, except for our "blogroll type" data. I was able to access the archive and rebuild in a matter of hours what would have taken days without.

Here is the link

Internet Archive

From their site

"The Internet Archive is a 501(c)(3) non-profit that was founded to build an Internet library, with the purpose of offering permanent access for researchers, historians, and scholars to historical collections that exist in digital format. Founded in 1996 and located in the Presidio of San Francisco, the Archive has been receiving data donations from Alexa Internet and others. In late 1999, the organization started to grow to include more well-rounded collections. Now the Internet Archive includes texts, audio, moving images, and software as well as archived web pages in our collections."

The Internet Archive is also known as The Way Back Machine.

The Website is worth checking out even if you don't see a use for it at this time. It is a non-profit org that takes a "snapshot" of the global web. A user must know the URL of the site as it does not support keyword searches at this time.

Sadly a month ago Microsoft pulled the plug on the deal they had with Internet archive to scan millions of book and make the available. I feel fairly sure someone else will step on to the plate on that one.

They also offer web collections of topics such as the 2005 Tsunami and September 11th.

Lake Powell Area Travel Release - Arizona Department of Transportation

Heather Rankin Lake Powell Utah/Arizona Real Estate (ERA Utah Properties) — Thu, 19 Jun 2008 17:15:13 -0500

This hit the airwaves this morning, June 19, 2008 and is going to affect travel to and from Lake Powell from the South for several months.

Driving through "the cut" by Bitter Springs, AZ, up or down the mountain pass, coming to or going from the Page - Lake Powell area is going to be significantly more difficult as they upgrade the road.

Here is the news release from the Arizona Department of Transportation

**************

Construction Delays Expected on US 89 South of Page

June 18, 2008 BITTER SPRINGS -

Drivers on US Highway 89 south of Page, Arizona, should expect delays this summer, according to the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT). Beginning Monday morning, June 23, 2008, ADOT will begin a new roadway improvement project just north of the US 89A junction and the community of Bitter Springs, which will extend north through “the cut” toward Page and Lake Powell.

Initially, drivers should expect daily changes in traffic patterns, and some project work will require restricting the roadway to one lane. During lane closures, flaggers and pilot vehicles may guide motorists through the project area. Speed limits in the project area will be reduced to 25 mph. Also, vehicle travel lanes will be restricted to widths of 10 feet or less during construction hours. Travelers should plan for delays of approximately 30 minutes.

Hours of construction will be 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. (MST), Monday through Thursday, from June 23 through July 10. However, during the Fourth of July holiday weekend, all lanes will be open beginning at 6 p.m. Wednesday, July 2, through 6 a.m. Monday, July 7. Construction hours and traffic control measures are expected to change in mid July to accommodate paving operations; periodic updates will be available on the project hotline and Web site. Also, drivers should expect increased truck traffic on US 89 between Gray Mountain, Arizona, and the project area.

As part of the $3.9 million project, workers will replace the pavement from milepost (MP) 524 to MP 531. The project also includes resurfacing existing paved turnouts, striping and signing, installing guard rail, seeding and completing other related work. ADOT anticipates work will be completed by mid September. ADOT advises motorists to drive safely as construction crews will be working on the roadway throughout the duration of the project. Motorists must obey all posted restrictions throughout the project area. Message boards and other traffic signs will provide additional construction details.

Just want to give a "shout out" to the folks over at

Water Data. Com

Who provide the site

Lake Powell Water Data

Living next to a huge lake, much of what happens in our communities and in our business is directly tied to what happens with the Lake. I think most folks who live and work near a large recreational area have the same situtation.

For several years now Lake Powell has been experiencing drought conditions and just this year, we seem to be breaking out of it. The Cut at Castle Rock has been closed for more than three years, which saves boaters and average of an hour plus 12 miles as they head up lake. Just a week ago, the CUT Opened.

Lake Powell Water Data is an awesome site which tracks not only inflow, outflow, average land temperature and average water temperature but also what launch ramps, and passage ways are open.

The also have this type of data for

I am not associated with these folks but think they do a great job. Anyone who lives near one of these lake should check it out!

Ok - to start with, I don't work for myfax.com, just think it is a great service.

Where I live getting an additional phone line is almost painful, not to mention time consuming and troublesome. The monthly phone expense and the cost of the fax machine made me reconsider the standard fax machine - phone line route.

As a side note I have a wonderful scanner.

I decided a couple of weeks ago to check out myfax.com. Wowzers.

For ten bucks a month you get a fax number (I did the toll free variety). Clients send faxes to that number and they end up in two places. On my myfax.com control panel website and in my EMAIL in box.

To send, scan, save, login or type in number hit send. Too cool.

For anyone looking for an easy fax work around check out myfax.com

Cheers!

The Ongoing Mortgage Mess, Hud, the big three, etc..

Heather Rankin Lake Powell Utah/Arizona Real Estate (ERA Utah Properties) — Wed, 11 Jun 2008 00:19:50 -0500

In an attempt to try and get a grip on what has happened in the mortgage mess I read a lot. Tonight there was a interesting article on MSNBC (see article here) about the part HUD, Housing and Urban Development, has played in the current situtation. That situtation being the expected 3 to 4 million people who now own homes and can not afford the high-interest rate sub-prime loans they received. It seems like there is all manner of finger pointing going on over whose fault this is. From the article "Eager to put more low-income and minority families into their own homes, the agency required that two government-chartered mortgage finance firms purchase far more "affordable" loans made to these borrowers. HUD stuck with an outdated policy that allowed Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae to count billions of dollars they invested in subprime loans as a public good that would foster affordable housing. "

The problem is as well tho, who ok'd the borrowers for loans in the first place. The HUD policy now ends up hurting the people it was trying to help.

So going back further, who issued these loans? Another article over at Bloodhound Blog, points to the big three ~ Countrywide, WaMu, and Wachovia. Countrywide and WaMu have been in the news a lot and in the last few days Wachovia's CEO has been forced to resign. Wachovia's reported losses were doubled what they had forecast.

Then there were the rating agencies, like Standard and Poors, who rated high risk loans low, or lower than they should have been, making them more affordable. Had that not been the case loans would have been more expensive having the effect of putting the breaks on.

Let's not forget the borrower. The borrowers were given a gloss story, they bought it, hook, line and sinker. But in the end it is the borrower who needs to be educated, to some degree, before signing something that has the potential to ruin many years of their life. I hear loosing a home is no fun at all. On the flip side, the borrower must hold some of the responsibility for their own financial decisions.

From the MSNBC article: "Judith Kennedy, president of the National Association of Affordable Housing Lenders, said that while Fannie and Freddie nurtured unregulated subprime lenders, an estimated 30 percent of subprime borrowers could have qualified for safe, lower-cost prime loans. "

30%?? While not being a huge fan of regulation, it's hard to understand how so many entities were playing the system, making a ton of money and no one stepped up to the plate.

Some saw it coming, maybe many did, but it is some sort of a disaster when 30% of the people need not even be involved and yet are.
