This industry report shows clearly how the traditional ways of selling homes have become increasingly less and less effective in today's market. The fact of the matter is that fully three quarters of homesellers don't get what they want for their homes and become disillusioned and - worse - financially disadvantaged when they put their homes on the market. As this report uncovers, most homesellers make 7 deadly mistakes that cost them literally thousands of dollars. The good news is that each and every one of these mistakes is entirely preventable.

Located in Holy Name Cemetery in Jersey City, the sixty-three foot granite shaft, topped by a large granite cross was made from columns salvaged from the old Astor Hotel in New York City (Veit & Nonestied, 2008:150) (figure 1).

It is an interestingobject of curiosity to most men to search into the origin of their own families, to trace their descents, and to collect the history of the individuals who compose them. However remote in time or consanguinity, it is natu- ral to believe that we inherit from our fathers their mental and physical peculiarities, though modified by circumstances. We enter affectionately into their concerns, and rejoice in their honors or prosperity, and are personally grieved by their misconduct or misfortunes. These sentiments are undoubtedly founded in the innate and best feelings of the human heart, which delights in mul- tiplying and extending the ties that bind us to our fellow creatures. The love of our kindred is the first degree of ex- pansion of thj heart in its progress towards universal bene- volence.

  • Reflections on the Art in the United States Senate by William Kloss
    Where History Meets Aesthetics: Reflections on the Art in the United States Senate by William Kloss he art in the U.S. Senate was acquired principally for its public, patriotic, and commemorative characteristics. Not conceived as a conventional art collection, the Senate’s art instead was intended to serve a grander purpose. It was to commit to posterity the persons and events of our national Thistory, centered upon the institution of the Senate and on the founding of the Republic. Not surprisingly, portraits are a prominent feature of the collection. Precisely because the Senate’s art collection was formed for set purposes of state, of honoring individuals, and decorating the most impor­ tant government building, it may be seen as a paradigm of public art in the United States. Although the collection has many 20th-century works—some quite modern in character—it is overwhelmingly a 19th- century collection. As such, it reflects the political and artistic values of the century during which the American legislature defined itself and began to redefine America’s place in the world. A Review of the Collection Today, the visitor to the Capitol finds an impressive array of art within the building. Ceremonial rooms, private offices, hallways, and the legislative chambers are filled with a diverse collection of paintings and sculptures. A tour of the Senate wing might begin with the Old Supreme Court Chamber, the first significant room to be completed. The space originally served as the Senate Chamber from 1800 to 1808. Architect Benjamin Henry Latrobe proposed extensive modifications to the area in 1807, which included moving the Senate to the second floor and con­ structing a chamber for the Supreme Court on the ground floor.

  • Ed Library Letter from Edthenteum
    ed Library The Boston Letter from edthenteum No. 109 OCTOBER 1995 Farewell to the Last Golden Era HREE Athenreum starr members, whose combined service to the library totals nearly sixty years, will cast off for new waters during the next several months. The retirement of Eileen Higgins, Mary Kosta, and 1 orman Tucker will leave a galactic chasm within Atbenreum ranks, and one is able almost daily to feel the sands shifting under 10 1h. Beacon Street as we scramble to reassign the complicated array of duties for which they were collectively responsible. The major loss, how­ ever, will surely be a personal one both for their colleagues and Athenreun1 friends who hold them in such high regard. A reception to honor the retirees, held on one of the hottest evenings of the summer, attracted well over 200 people, a reflection of the great affection and respect in which they are all held. Records Officer Eileen Higgins, the dancing colleen of the third floor gallery, was the first to exit, on 31 July. She came to the Athenreum from the offices of the F.B.I. on 18 October 197 6, and began her tenure as a typist in the Catalogue Department; she was promoted to the position of Records Officer in 1977. Possibly more than any other staff member, Eileen had the closest relationships with Athenreum members, and was never, ever, too busy to stop and talk, or to clarify an increasingly complex variety of membership problems. A visit to Eileen's office could end with a cup of tea or tall tales of lost dogs and plumbers, but her interest in Athenreum readers went far beyond that of genial conversation.
