Subject: biking/hiking trail event
Date: Thu, 1 Oct 1992 15:23:00 GMT
Organization: SAS Institute Inc.

On Saturday October 3 from 10:00 to 2:00 there will be an event to
celebrate and promote the development of the American Tobacco Trail, a
"rails-to-trails" effort.  The event is sponsored by the Triangle
Rails-to-Trails Conservancy, and will be held at the Southwest
Elementary School in Durham (Cook Road near Fayetteville Road, Woodcroft
area).
 
Activities will include hikes and mountain bike rides along part of the
trail corridor beginning at 11 and 1, guest speakers at 12 noon,
bicycle repair seminar, a fun run, etc.  There is an article with more
details in today's Durham Morning Herald, or you can contact Rick at
477-8442 for more information.
 
This should be a great chance to get out (on what promises to be a
beautiful fall weekend), find out more about the American Tobacco
Trail, and do a little bicycling or hiking.  See you there !

Subject: Saving money on refinancing home mortgage
Date: Fri, 2 Oct 1992 15:42:43 GMT
Distribution: triangle
Organization: SAS Institute Inc.

If you are thinking about refinancing your home mortgage, check to see
if you can do a stream-lined refinance.

You'll save alot in closing costs (you don't have to pay for a termite
inspection, a credit report, doc prepartion fees, no survey or appraisal
is required, etc.). In a stream-line refinace, the bank just uses most of
the information already collected in your original loan.  Basically,
you just have the loan origination fee (usually 1% of loan), attorney
fee, and title insurance.

The stream-line is especially attractive, if the home values have gone
down in your area--with regular refinancing the bank uses the appraisal
to determine whether they will refinance your loan or not.  If your house
doesn't appraise high enough--you don't get the loan AND you're out $250
or so for the appraisal fee and maybe some other fees, too!

You may also have to pay some prepaids expenses like 1 year home insurance
plus 2mths home insurance and 2mths taxes.  However, you may not have to
pay as much on the prepaids because of the amount in your existing mortgage
escrow account.

If you have your mortgage loan at the same place where you originally
got your loan, they can do a stream-line refinance instead of a regular
refinance.

If you have an FHA/VA loan, you can get an FHA/VA stream-line done
at any bank that offers FHA/VA stream-lines.  Lots of banks offer
FHA/VA regular refinancing, but don't offer the stream-line.  You
need to check around.  Triangle Bank offers them and Summit Savings
does, too. There are probably a few others around that do.

Also try to close right at the end of the month, so you save the interest
charges.  If you close at the beginning or middle, you will be charged
an extra monthes interest, since you have to pay your existing mortgage
for that month and pay the same month again for the new mortgage loan.

Then are you really "sure" what the net.public wants or doesn't

I, too, am inclined to being fairly strict about list charters,
etc., but I'm not aware of an alternative to this one for discussions, 
campaign statements, and related communications about the upcoming 
LOCAL AND STATE elections, is there??  

If not, then I don't think my life would be ruined if there were some 
(or, heaven forbid, A LOT of) political discussion or campaigning 
on this list for one month, even though it is not set up specifically
for politics.

Such discussion among the citizens of the "net.public" could potentially 
be pretty interesting and informative, IMESHO.

There is always (except wed. & sun. that's rock n' roll) live blues
at the Cave in Chapel Hill on Franklin Street.  Typically good
North Carolina style "country blues"

on Saturday, Scott Ainslie my favorite NC blues guitarist is performing
at the Sky Light in Chapel Hill.  It is on Rosemary street. he performs
alot of Delta blues and specializes in Robert Johnson and slide/steel 
guitar. definitely not to be missed. :)

cover at both of these places is usually only a few (2-5) bucks.

Congress has just passed a bill to tax DATs and DAT tape, giving most
of the money to record companies and music publishers.  Of course,
they use poor starving musicians as an excuse.  Musicians do get some
of the money, but it is divided in proportion to sales, which means
that most of your taxes will go to save Madonna etc. from starvation.

You can find a alternate proposal in /pub/gnu/dat.{text,dvi,texinfo}.

I urge everyone to send a complaint to the president, who frequently
says he will not raise taxes.  Urge him to veto the bill.  Here's what
one person sent:

Re: HR-3204, Audio Home Recording ACT of 1991

Dear Mr. President:

Please veto this bill. It would establish a tax on blank digital audio
tape (DAT), a medium used to record computer data (as well as music).
The bill would turn most of the tax over to record companies such as
Sony Records. It justifies this by erroneously calling the tax a
royalty.

The bill just passed the House under a suspension of rules whereby
there was no debate and no record was kept of the vote. The House did
not debate or consider:

*	The bill creates a new tax on consumers.

*	The bill establishes corporate welfare with foreign 
        record companies as the largest recipients.

*	The bill injures our freedom of expression by 
        putting a tax on blank media.

Very respectfully yours,
