Public Art Fund brings dynamic contemporary art to a broad audience in New York City by mounting ambitious free exhibitions of international scope and impact that offer the public powerful experiences with art and the urban environment.
Public Art Fund is a 501(c)(3), non-profit organization that relies on contributions from individuals, corporations, and foundations to support the development and presentation of our temporary exhibitions and outreach programs.
Public Art Fund was founded by Doris C. Freedman (1928-1981), a champion of public art who served as New York City's first Director of Cultural Affairs, President of the Municipal Art Society of New York, and was a tireless supporter of New York City's Percent for Art legislation. In 1971, she founded the Public Arts Council while at the same time serving as president of City Walls Inc. Under her leadership, both organizations developed programs to explore the potential for art to become an integral aspect of urban public spaces. In 1977, she merged the two to form the independent, non-profit Public Art Fund. Since its inception, Public Art Fund has presented more than four hundred artists' exhibitions and projects at sites throughout New York City's five boroughs, making it possible for artists to engage diverse audiences and, along the way, redefine public art in relation to the changing nature of contemporary art.
Early Public Art Fund projects include Messages to the Public (1982-1990), an exhibition series that ran on an 800-square foot animated lightboard in Times Square and featured more than 70 artists, among them Guerrilla Girls, Keith Haring, Jenny Holzer, Richard Prince, Kiki Smith, and David Wojnarowicz. More recently, we have presented iconic exhibitions like Anish Kapoor's Sky Mirror (2006); Olafur Eliasson's The New York City Waterfalls (2008); Sol LeWitt: Structures, 1965-2006 (2011); Tatzu Nishi: Discovering Columbus; and have worked with dozens of emerging artists to realize new works that extend their practice into new realms.

Do you love art, people, and parks?
Starting May 17, Berlin-based artist Jeppe Hein's whimsical and interactive sculptures will arrive at Brooklyn Bridge Park. From electric red benches that twist and turn, to a labyrinth installation of mirrored columns and a fountain that creates fleeting "rooms" of water, these artworks will inhabit a 1.5-mile stretch of New York's most exciting public parkland.
Brooklyn Bridge Park and Public Art Fund are seeking dedicated summer volunteers interested in serving as ambassadors for this project: helping to introduce members of the public to extraordinary artwork and a spectacular park, and ensuring that visitors get the best possible experience of both.
Volunteers who sign up by May 15 will have an opportunity to meet and talk to the artist at the Please Touch The Art volunteer training session at Brooklyn Bridge Park on Sunday, May 17! Click here/please contact Chris Anderson (firstname.lastname@example.com) to sign up for training.
Qualifications: Volunteers must be friendly & outgoing, have strong public speaking skills, and be comfortable working outdoors.
Thanks for your help making Brooklyn Bridge Park great, and remember: Please touch the art!
As a non-profit, Public Art Fund fundraises in order to present each of our exhibitions. Through consulting work, we regularly collaborate with companies and organizations whose goals dovetail with our expertise. This includes working with clients to commission new artworks for both public and private spaces, coordinating production directly with artists' studios, and managing artwork installations. Recent consulting projects include Waiting Room (2012), a new sculpture by Franz West for the William H. Bloomberg MDA Jerusalem Station in Israel and Andy Goldsworthy's Garden of Stones (2003), a living memorial created for New York's Museum of Jewish Heritage.

Maximilian Riedel (11th generation) presents his first glass series. The Riedel connoisseur will be surprised to find that this new glass series has something missing - there is no stem or base. So what is "O"? Riedel "O" is the new innovative take on the wine tumbler. In short: "O" is the ideal glass for every day use and for every occasion. It is fun, feels good to hold, looks trendy and it works!
The designs of "O" are based on the benchmark shapes of Riedel Vinum. For the first time in glass history the design parameters such as shape of tumbler, size and diameter of rim, have been fine turned to enhance the world's most important grape varietals. "O" is available as: Cabernet/ Merlot, Pinot/Nebbiolo, Syrah/Shiraz, Chardonnay, Viognier/Chardonnay, Riesling/Sauvignon.
The tumbler, used for centuries as an all-round drinking vessel, is now turned into a sophisticated wine accessory. Maximilian Riedel has created something brand new with "O" without losing sight of his "roots".
"O" will not compete with the existing Riedel glass series, "O" is much more a successful addition for those who love an elegant, uncomplicated design that works, 30 years ago Claus Riedel (9th Riedel generation) revolutionized the world of the wineglass when he changed functionality into design. His grandson Maximilian Riedel (11th generation) feels that now is the right time to offer a convenience product. A glass which is easy to use. It fits in every dishwasher, picnic basket, minibar or small kitchen. Broken stems are a thing of the past.

Classic full body massage using nourishing organic natural body oil. Select your pressure accordingly to soothe and relax the body.
Affectionately known as The White Palace, the hotel commands breathtaking views of the sea and the dramatic cliffs at Beachy Head.
Grand by name but not by nature, The Grand Hotel in Eastbourne is not only the only 5 star luxury hotel to be found on the British coastline, we're also one of the friendliest. The Grand is a landmark on the Eastbourne seafront, where we have been looking after generations of returning happy families, and we often welcome back parents, who first stayed with us as youngsters, checking in with children or grandchildren of their own.
The Grand stands out amongst other Eastbourne hotels being only a short walk from the Pier in one direction, and the glorious Sussex downs in the other, so we are ideally located for exploring this charming corner of East Sussex. Few hotels offer such a complete range of leisure facilities including a luxury outdoor swimming pool, special holiday packages for children and a choice of dining options that includes arguably the finest gourmet restaurant on the entire south coast.
However, we believe it's our unique blend of friendly service that's just as important for bringing families, business people, young romantics and anniversary couples back to The Grand Hotel time and time again. Many of our staff have been with us for ten or twenty years or more. It's as if they find The Grand just as hard to leave as our guests do.

Managing morale - lessons from OPM's John Berry
Wednesday - 2/15/2012, 2:00am EST
By John Berry, Director, Office of Personnel Management
Many managers find it challenging to motivate their teams to do their best.
At the Office of Personnel Management, I've asked our team to tackle big challenges in the past three years, and been proud to see our people - and our partners across government - step up and deliver big results. We've increased our hiring of veterans more than 4 percentage points; moved to resume-based job applications while speeding time-to-hire by nearly 15 percent; and eliminated the backlog in security clearances for the first time since 9/11. We've helped the Department of Health and Human Services stand up a new health insurance program for people with pre-existing conditions, and now I've challenged our team to eliminate the backlog in retirement applications within 18 months.
These are big pieces within our broad mission to recruit, retain, and hire the best - and they weren't easy to achieve. But I believe that our approach at OPM provides a useful example to bear in mind as managers across government tackle their own challenges and pursue their own missions.
Federal workers - like anyone else - are often motivated by the sense that they are achieving something worthwhile. Various business and management authors have their own labels. Most recently, Theresa Amabile and Steven Kramer have called it "the progress principle."
Under any name, the principle is simple and rings true. People like to see that their work has an effect - on helping others, on changing the world, on improving themselves. I believe that the federal workplace provides a uniquely powerful opportunity for managers to communicate the impact workers can have because the missions our agencies serve are so vital to so many Americans.
At OPM, those who work in our health insurance division can point to lives that have been saved and people who have been healed. In our Federal Investigative Services division, we can point to the millions of security clearance decisions we've helped agencies make.
Each agency has its own mission, backed by passionate, hard-working employees. Federal employees make the world safer by tracking down organized criminals and shadowy terrorist networks. We safeguard American freedoms, applying the same law to all citizens in fair and functioning courts. We keep America's natural beauty and resources fresh for future generations.
Keeping an eye on the broad missions we serve helps balance out the less than positive statements we often hear about federal employees. Managers can - and should - take appropriate opportunities to say, "Good job. The work you did today made Americans safer." Or, "More veterans will have jobs because of your work."
Individually, we may not have a big hand in any one mission, but we know that because we each do our share, America will remain the greatest nation in the world. The freedoms and safeties enjoyed by past generations will continue. That's why federal workers get up in the morning - to serve the American people.
Federal work can be stressful. But so too is it rewarding.
Ask the nurse in a veterans hospital who tends to serious war wounds. Ask the Homeland Security officer who investigates terrorist threats. Ask the federal scientist who researches cures for cancer.
At the end of their day, any of these federal workers may come home to his or her family and say, "I had a tough day today." But at the end of their career, every federal worker will look back on their lives and know that in their lifetime, they made America a little bit better.
John Berry is director of the Office of Personnel Management. He has served in the role since 2009. Berry's column is part of Federal News Radio's special report, Managing Morale.

Nearly five years after President Obama announced the creation of the Social Innovation Fund (SIF) in a ceremony at the White House, the program has achieved amazing progress. Its portfolio includes more than a half billion dollars of cross-sector investments in effective community solutions. Many already show promising early results. Nonprofits are establishing new connections and building capacity that will benefit the entire social sector and the country. And the SIF is accomplishing this in a way that demonstrates the importance of combining innovation, evaluation, and scale to accelerate the pace of change.

Last year I served as a City Year AmeriCorps member at DC Scholars Stanton Elementary School in Southeast Washington, DC. In my role, I tutored and mentored the students at Stanton, and worked with teachers and administrators to help turn around one of the District's lowest performing schools. I'm proud to be part of Stanton's turnaround success story. This year I lead a team of 18 City Year AmeriCorps members, all serving through the School Turnaround AmeriCorps grant.

Lacking significant support from family, then-high school student Amanda Parris didn't believe college was an option. But her enrollment in a dropout prevention program led to night classes at a local community college and awakened a desire to give back to others.

When I get invited to speak at conferences and events, people typically want to hear about the rebirth of Tulane, the story of how Tulane came back stronger and better after the devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina in 2005. How did we manage to increase retention and graduation rates, raise student selectivity and invigorate Tulane's national reputation only a few years after the storm? While a number of decisions and people contributed to these successes, I never fail to highlight the single most important factor: our profound commitment to public service and civic engagement.

During your life's journey, I am sure that you can remember times when your path was made clearer or your baggage lighter because of someone who helped along the way. These thoughts came to mind today as President Obama outlined his plan to expand opportunity for boys and young men of color through the My Brother's Keeper initiative and a new federal task force on which I am honored to serve.

GSA challenges real estate developers with a 'once-in-a-several-lifetimes' opportunity
Friday - 12/21/2012, 5:19am EST
The General Services Administration is daring real estate developers to dream big by offering up two prime parcels of land in downtown Washington, D.C.
GSA released two requests for information earlier this month asking for industry's best ideas to redevelop, trade or find a way to improve how the FBI headquarters building and a parcel of land called Federal Triangle South are being used.
GSA acting administrator Dan Tangherlini said the agency will entertain any and all ideas to improve the office space and overall design of the areas, including suggestions for one building or all the buildings. He said GSA also wants to hear recommendations for retail, commercial, residential and definitely office space for about 14,000 federal employees.
Basically, GSA will accept anything that will reduce the costs to the government, make the office space more efficient and help transform the neighborhoods.
The Federal Triangle South area is made up of four federal buildings that house 12,000 workers. It's located along the Independence Avenue, S.W., area of Washington.
"Right now, the buildings that comprise this area represent a significant challenge and opportunity for GSA and the agencies that occupy them," Tangherlini said Thursday during a speech before the D.C. Building Industry Association at the National Press Club in Washington. "The Cotton Annex is empty and essentially abandoned. It's a very inefficient use of very valuable real estate in Washington, D.C. The GSA regional office building at Seventh and D Streets, S.W., is also inefficient and an unattractive space."
Need to better meet employees' needs
Tangherlini said at least 40 percent of staff is not in the GSA regional building because they are teleworking or meeting offsite.
"This space was not constructed with the modern realities of a mobile workplace in mind," Tangherlini said. "Its old cubicle farms make it the perfect poster child for everyone's negative stereotypes about what government offices look like. In fact, originally a warehouse, it is an example of a form of adaptive reuse that has done much to set back that approach to repurposing historic properties."
Dan Tangherlini, acting administrator, GSA
The Energy Department headquarters, the Federal Aviation Administration and the Homeland Security Department also are part of this area of D.C. Tangherlini said DoE's headquarters isn't meeting its employees' needs in many ways.
"Currently, this facility uses approximately 6,000 BTUs of energy per square foot more than the industry average. This occurs in a building with 1.8 million square feet of space. That is 10.8 billion BTUs of excess energy," he said. "That's enough energy to power almost 300 average U.S. households for an entire year. There is a certain irony to the Department of Energy working in a building that is that inefficient."
Tangherlini added the FAA buildings are the most modern of any of the buildings in the Federal Triangle South area. But even those offices need help.
"Last year, $20 million was invested into a single floor of the [the FAA's] Orville building to bring it up to the standards of a modern-day office," he said. "That kind of investment is not sustainable. We have to try something else."
Rare chance to change
And that's where the RFIs come in. Tangherlini said this is a once-in-a-several-lifetime opportunity to redevelop both of these prime real estate areas.
The Federal Triangle South is 21.5 acres, eight buildings, including the four federal offices and about 4 million square feet of space.
The FBI headquarters office isn't as large a parcel, but given its location on Pennsylvania Avenue between the White House and U.S. Capitol, it's a sought after location.
The office includes 2.4 million square feet of space on 6.6 acres.
The FBI currently can only house 52 percent of its headquarters staff in the building, with the rest spread out in other locations throughout the D.C. area.
Bill Dowd, GSA's acting Public Building Service Commissioner for the National Capital Region, said after Tangherlini's speech that with a better office layout, the FBI believes it can get one-third more people in 2.1 million square feet of office space.
"We know that the federal government owns some valuable assets, and we are looking to see if we can tap into that value to create not just high quality and high efficiency space for public servants, but real, lasting contributions to the neighborhoods where we work and live," Tangherlini said.
Industry has until Feb. 4 to respond to the Federal Triangle RFI. GSA extended the due date suggestions about the FBI building by a month to March 4.
Learning from experience
GSA's own experience with renovating its headquarters at 18th and F streets and moving into temporary space on Massachusetts Avenue is showing how other agencies could take better advantage of their office spaces.
Despite the fact that Congress pulled the funding plug on GSA's headquarters renovation, the agency still plans to bring nearly 6,000 employees into a building that used to house 3,000.
Tangherlini said GSA is changing the layout of its office space to get rid of single offices and move toward collaborative spaces. He said GSA is expecting to see the utilization rate of the offices in its headquarters building to increase to 80 percent from under 50 percent.
Tangherlini also said he just finished up a series of meetings with GSA employees who are moving back into 1800 F St., and found employees who actually like the current set up at the temporary space.
"I think 1800 F is exciting for what it represents in terms of the direction of space. But because of the vagaries of the appropriations process, it will actually represent kind of the whole transitions, almost three levels of space," he said. "Because we have the two phases of the project, you will be able to see the 'to be' state and then because we are doing a refresh for the part of the building that didn't get the full comprehensive renovation, you'll see kind of a progress toward that 'to-be' state that could be at any agency by taking out walls and using more collaborative furniture."
Tangherlini said GSA isn't getting rid of all its private offices, but most of the workers' areas will be open and promote collaboration.
"We will be able to walk people to kind of an evolution of utilization, a change in the way that we are doing work and get people to see it and associate it with it," he said. "We are hoping our employees can become sales people for this approach and help other agencies understand that the transition isn't so bad and the future is pretty good."
Real estate challenges
GSA has struggled over the last few years with its real estate management. For that reason, getting industry involved early in the FBI and Federal Triangle South projects is a good sign, industry experts say.
Darian LeBlanc, an executive managing director and a principal at Cassidy Turley, a commercial real estate development firm that does business with the government, said GSA over the past few years hasn't interacted with industry as soon as possible and that has caused some unneeded challenges for both sides.
LeBlanc wasn't directly commenting on GSA's most recent RFIs, but he offered a broad perspective of the agency's approach over the last few years.
"It has led to probably a less than thorough analysis and less than thorough decisions. It ultimately costs the government money when they are not timely in terms of dealing with specific requirements," LeBlanc said. "These things can and typically get initiated four or five years in advance of a specific need. But, more recently, we've been seeing the government allow expiring leases and needs come up where they're being done sometimes within a year of when the actual need arises. In some cases with existing leases, we are seeing contracts go into holdover for extended periods of time until the government figures out what's in their best interest to do."
Budget uncertainties having an effect
He said the federal real estate world has been tough over the past few years, partially because of how closely agencies and Congress are looking at their budgets, and partially because agencies are struggling to plan their office space and their employees' needs because of the budget uncertainties.
In fact, GSA's own turmoil over the last year, with the head of the Public Buildings Service resigning and a new one coming in, has added to the challenges, LeBlanc said.
"All of those issues have conspired to make the federal real estate environment, I've never seen it more difficult and I've never seen the GSA struggle so much with their planning and their ability to execute on real estate transactions," he said.
LeBlanc added if GSA offered more speed and more transparency in its decision-making process, it would help industry greatly.
Tangherlini said industry's input and innovative ideas will make this project move forward.
"Working together with industry, we believe that we can redevelop the underutilized and outdated properties at Federal Triangle South to create a mixed-use neighborhood that will connect the National Mall to the Southwest Waterfront," he said. "We believe we can both provide for the 21st century space needs of federal employees and create a place in which people will want to work, live, play and learn. We can replace the cold, sterile, utilitarian, single-use enclave with a vibrant, diverse and special community of its own."

Buying first home
Jul 13, 2008 at 09:28 »
Seller accepted the offer late Friday.
Should close on 8/14, if everything goes well.
Home inspection next week...any thoughts or experiences that might help the process? Any areas that you wish the inspector had looked into further when you purchased?
I'll start requesting the past 6-8 months of check stub copies from work (I had usually shredded them) and compiled bank statments. Any guess how far back the lending or title company will need them? I've heard they will come back up
Have to check into homeowners' ins. pretty quickly and get that set up.
No closing costs contributed on my side of the deal.
Lots of paperwork was signed/initialed prior to the offer being submitted to the seller...much more at closing.
Any thoughts on making the closing easier?

We're currently in the second home we've purchased so I can't offer much, but here's what I can:
Let's see, seems like the title company wanted as much info as one could provide. Check stubs as far back as possible. They'll want to know your current debt situation with car payments, credit cards, loans, etc. Get this stuff as organized as possible to speed the process. You may need your SS card, DL, etc. Call 'em up and ask what they expect you to bring.
Make sure the inspector checks air conditioning units (our home has two units and one was whacked, they had to fix it before we closed), plumbing - be sure to find where the clean outs are located, you'll need to know eventually. Same thing for the exhaust from your dryer hookup. Turns out that ours vents on our roof; in any case, you'll want to know where it is and keep that sucker clean for efficiency and safety purposes (fire hazard). In our first home, the dryer didn't even vent outside and we had to do that ourselves. Don't know what the previous owner did. But the inspector didn't catch that. Toilets should flush quickly and a tub full of water should drain in a reasonable time.
All inspectors are not created equally. Got recommendations for the next one and that sucker was a pro, didn't miss a frigging thing in our current home.
You'll certainly want to be aware of property boundaries. And, who's fence is that? Is it on my property or the neighbor's property? Do we share it? This may be up to your localities codes and such.
The roof is very important, hopefully that's in good shape. Foundation should be in good shape - doors should not jam, windows should open easily, etc.
Oh yeah, wiring, outlets and the breaker box. Depending on the age of your new home the wiring could be shit. Hopefully all the outlets are grounded properly and breakers are all of sufficient amperage or whatever.
Garage door openers. Hmm. Can't think of much else at the moment.
Oh, is there a home owner's association that you'll have to pay dues to? That was a big deal for me - I absolutely refused to buy a home under such conditions - have heard horror stories about the nazis that sit on those committees. But it may be unavoidable.
Good luck dude. You're picking a great time to buy a home, that's for sure.

Pray for good neighbors.
Fuckin' A right.
After several abortive apartment experiences, hellish neighbors, we lucked into having great neighbors all around, all up and down the street, really.
I don't remember it being a difficult process. I know I didn't cough up a pile of pay stubs. In fact, it was all very smooth... Part of that may have been that we pre-qualified with our lender, so when we were ready to make an offer it was just "Sign here... and here... initial here... don't worry about reading that, just sign..." what seemed like 1000 pages.
As for the home inspection, IMO that's just going to point out major & obvious shit. We spent so long looking at... housing dreck... that I got pretty good at seeing the bones myself. Before we pre-qualified, I had seriously lowballed what we could afford, so we were looking at houses that needed a lot of help. Our lender was like, "No, man, you can buy houses in THIS range..." That changed everything. Our home came up as an open house, we went head to head with another buyer and won. Looking back on it, we really got a nice small Cape Cod for... peanuts. Even with the housing bust, we paid so little, in retrospect. Being house poor is not a good idea, IMO, so I'm happy with a modest house that we can easily afford.
You buying near Baltimore?
How's the electrical? 200A throughout, all working recepts? What kind of piping, copper or PVC? Age of home, condition of foundation? I prefer older homes, just seems like for the inevitable quirks they're sturdier. May need upgrades, but drywall is thicker, framing better, etc. Look for any drywall cracks for settling: minor cracks are OK, but you see some bigger shit, the foundation is whack. White wood anywhere = water leaks. Any roof leaks or basements leaks could spell trouble. Condition and age of HVAC? Of the roof? Any immediate updates required? Did previous owner leave any record of termite inspections? Are you in a flood plain?
You have to apply more subjective criteria for location issues: transit, noise, backyard/green space, proximity to necessities, downstream issues like schools, etc.
In short, I think you'll be fine with the financials. Seriously. But make sure the house is what you want. Mrs. F. had this emotional reaction, which was, "This is the place." My reaction was bifurcated: "Yeah, this could be the place; how solid is the bitch?" I have been pleased, and have invested some time in small projects, but luckily have not had any major issues 8 years in.
The one question of property lines is well worth clarifying: get the exact corners flagged if you can. We have a row of old white pines at the back of our property that are awesome, tall, and at one time were likely northside windbreaks. But with age, they lose limbs, more with each winter. Beyond the mess of cleanup, which is more substantial than one would imagine, the inevitable question of taking them out looms: one day, they're just gonna go. Being right on the property line means, do they go onto a neighbor's house? Do they rip down power lines? And I foresee several grand in removal costs. You have to be cognizant of all that when you're signing.
It's a lot to take in, but don't be overwhelmed. I love being a homeowner, and doing the whole Lowe's/HD thing and fixing this or that. Never was good at it; learned. You just do, you just figure it out and do it. Plumbing, electrical, drywall, whatever.
And the great part is this. Once you own a home, your personal wealth paradigm changes irrevocably. Yeah, you're beholden to the bank. But it's like freezing time... your "rent" never goes up. Your credit rating does. Suddenly, as long as you manage your finances with any intelligence, you're golden. You're investing in your own future wealth, your own equity, rather than making some landlord rich. I know this is a bad time to say that buying a house is a wonderful thing, in the middle of Foreclosures, USA, but it is. You're arriving, or on your way to arriving.

Buying in downtown Baltimore...near the Hopkins campus. Which means my wife takes the free Hopkins shuttle in to work and I walk to work. It's the same neighborhood that we've been renting in for the past year.
It's an old home...built somewhere in the 1920s.
Completely gutted and rehabbed. New roof, new electrical, plumbing, HVAC, appliances, paint lighting, etc. Still, I need it all checked out.
Termite inspection will be included. Some wood, though mostly brick.
A very quiet street.
Thanks for the heads up on the clean outs (I could google but what are they) and the property lines. Those are things I hadn't thought of. I didn't look but believe I know where the exhaust for the dryer is.
No garage (on-street parking), which sucks but it's the city so it's more the norm.
No HOA, though there is a local tax that provides a security service for the neighborhood. In Baltimore, that's a good thing. Also have an ADT system in the house, which I hope saves $$ on insurance.
Fin, great questoins on the pipes and foundation...definite
ly stuff (along with jonrz's above) that I'll take to the inspection.
The roof is new but when we were in the place two weeks ago, there did appear to be water damage in one of the upstairs bedroom's ceiling. I brought that to the attention of the agent and seller.
No yard to speak of, other than a patch of grass in the back, with a nice new fence around it. A deck off of the 2nd floor, so we plan to create some type of patio under it and do a bit more small landscaping. No trees, we've thought about putting one of those smaller Asian trees in the back yard (Japanese maple?).
No front yard at all...just a side walk out front. It's a rowhouse.
Schools suck, but all public schools in Baltimore City do.
Neighbors seem okay though I've only met the one's on either side. Elderly lady on one side and young family on the other.
We're excited. Also nervous at such a large financial commitment...but millions of people enter the same type of agreement and are fine. So there is no reason we can't make it work.
We're lucky to have really good credit. So I hope that means less prodding from the title/lender co. But we'll have our stuff ready.
I have to contact my landlord to tell him of our plans. Our lease doesn't say much about what happens if we break the lease. I think we'll try to find another renter 'cause the landlord is a decent guy.

Congrats, man. Sounds like it could be very cool.
Detached? Or "semi-"?
1920s sounds like a very interesting type of property, esp. if reno'ed. Character, etc.
What's your SF?
Well, you're in enemy territory now, man... :)

I guess it's classified as semi-detached...maybe???? Have neighbors adjoining on both sides.
Thanks for the info and tips. Other than getting married, it's my first "grown-up" decision..or at least that's what it feels like. Purchasing a car (I've done twice) seems like a walk in the park compared to purchasing a home.
If you think of anything I should ask at the inspection, please send it my way. I'm taking a lot of the points you and jonrz mentioned to the inspection.
Yep, enemy territory. Lots of Steelers fans though, which most Baltimorons will eagerly complain about.

If it doesnt already come with one, i would highly recommend purchasing a Home Warranty. its good for a year and you can usually get those for $400 beans. some you can even pay for monthly so it isnt such a big bite to go along with the many other purchases you will be making in the next few months.
Im sure you will find most problems will crop up within the first year or at least the ones that your inspector may have missed. the deductible is usually around the $50 dollar range for any time something goes wrong.
I had the house i currently live in inspected and everything the dude said was wrong was repaired before hand. one thing he failed to mention was the condition of some of the windows...he just said they were average. i guess by average he meant total shit come winter time. I would have any inspector check those bad boys very thoroughly.
other than that...buy some ben-gay for the enormous cramp you will get when you sign your life on the X about a billion times.

Congrats SC. We bought our home (our first, and current) over ten years ago, things have changed since then, I am sure. I doubt I can be much help. Just wanted to offer my congratulations.
It's a hot night. The mind races. You think about your knife; the only friend who hasn't betrayed you, the only friend who won't be dead by sun up. Sleep tight, mates, in your quilted Chambray nightshirts.

I can only add one item, in addition to what has been suggested. A friend bought a home from that time frame, and the main water line going into the house was a lead pipe. That had to be changed, and was quite a process.
Make sure everything is to CURRENT "code", especially the electical. The electric box/panel should have current connections/breakers. At least up to whatever code is.
Looks like you've been missing a lot of work lately.
I wouldn't say I've been *missing* it, Bob.

General Surgery
Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital (SBCH), part of the not-for-profit Cottage Health System, was founded in 1888, and has grown to be the largest hospital on the central coast of California. SBCH has one of the oldest surgical training programs in the western United States; the surgical residency program was instituted in 1921, and has been fully approved since 1944, shortly after the founding of the American Board of Surgery. The residency is a five-year program, approved by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education, The American Board of Surgery, and the American College of Surgeons through the Residency Review Committee.
Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital is a 465-bed community hospital. The comprehensive surgical teaching program at SBCH is structured to provide progressive surgical education as well as clinical and research experience. The general surgery residents are able to acquire a variety of experiences and procedures covering the broad base of general surgery. General Surgery encompasses vascular, oncologic, gastrointestinal, thoracic, endocrine, pediatric, and colorectal surgery, and trauma and surgical critical care. Training and experience are also provided in plastic, urologic, gynecologic, orthopedic, and neurologic surgery. The residency program provides a balance between patient-oriented activity in the clinics, on the ward, in the operating room, and in the intensive care unit.
The categorical surgical residency is a five-year program. The program matches for three categorical general surgical residents per year.
For many years the residency was a joint program with the Santa Barbara County General Hospital. There is no longer a county hospital, but Cottage maintains a close affiliation with the County Department of Public Health, which operates a network of clinics. The surgery and surgical specialty clinics are staffed by residents from the program, with the supervision of attending physicians. All County patients requiring hospitalization are admitted to SBCH, providing continuity of resident care. In addition, a large number of private surgical patients are an integral part of the surgical teaching program. Affiliated hospitals also play an important role in the surgical residency, including Los Angeles County-USC Medical Center (trauma), and Cedars-Sinai Medical Center (transplantation).
The surgical attending staff at SBCH represent a wide diversity of backgrounds, providing a rich variety of training experience for the residents. Because of the small size of the program, an unusually close relationship exists between the house staff and the attending surgeons. Director Dr. Jeffrey Gauvin joined the faculty in June 2011; Associate Program Director Dr. David Thoman joined in 2004.
