Poltergeist Activity
In recent times, I have received an increasing number of enquiries about poltergeist activity. Hence this blog focuses upon poltergeists, including guidance on how to avoid and eliminate such activity.
A poltergeist is a spirit manifesting its presence by noises and acts of mischief, such as throwing furniture.
Living in a home with poltergeist activity can be a very frightening experience. Cupboards fly open; dishes fly across the room and break, and wall hangings rattle or fall.
Normally, a specific member of the family will be targeted because poltergeists are person focused, unlike a haunting which is location focused. People are usually frantic to move or rid their house of such a frightening spirit or energy.
There is no mystery greater than that posed by the poltergeist. The noisy ghosts of folklore and legend represent some of the most complex phenomena known to science ~ D. Scott Rogo
A poltergeist generally lasts days or a few weeks. However, between 1977 and 1978 the British nation was stunned by one of the world's most shockingly infamous cases. It is known as the Enfield poltergeist – everything that one has ever heard of a poltergeist occurred in this case. A seemingly normal family home bore witness to decidedly abnormal activity. There were documented reports of levitation and possession of the family's daughter who spoke with a completely different voice. Some of the discourse was captured on tape by official paranormal investigators from the British Society for Psychical Research. The sofa would flip over and chairs would be thrown across the room.
The police were called out one evening to inspect the house. They are on record as having seen a chair move across a room and heard knocking on the walls. The police were considerate but powerless to deal with the situation. Marbles and toys began flying around in mid air. A local medium and vicar were called out but were too scared to get involved.
Poltergeists begin with knocking and rapping on the walls. They then begin to throw small objects followed by movement and levitation of larger objects such as tables and chairs. Poltergeist activity is very rare and it is very hard to tell why they focus upon any particular victim. Generally, there is tension in the family or break up of parents combined with the high psychokinetic energy of hormonal children.
Poltergeist activity is so inherently improbable that most rational people simply cannot believe it. And when they see it and have to believe it, they find it very hard to convince anybody else that it really happens ~ Guy Lyon Playfair
Even newspaper reporters experienced activity at the home in Enfield. One of them was assaulted by a yellow Lego brick thrown at his face by the poltergeist. Witnesses from very different backgrounds, including the British Society for Psychical Research, verified the presence of the Enfield poltergeist that took 12 months to withdraw.
These are ways to avoid and deal with poltergeist activity:
1. Keep stress levels low.
2. Do not use Ouija boards, tarot cards or séances to communicate.
3. Pray for the Archangels to protect your home.
4. Do not communicate with the poltergeist – leave this to the professionals.
5. Do not speak of the poltergeist or give it your attention.
6. Engage professionals to investigate and manage the case.

NEW ROCHELLE, N.Y. - New Rochelle Mayor Noam Bramson and the master developers undergoing "the most ambitious redevelopment in city history " were featured in an op-ed in the New York Daily News.
The Daily News posted an article written by Bramson and RXR Realty executive Seth Pinsky on Thursday, highlighting New Rochelle's redevelopment. The piece goes in depth discussing how "suburbs will save the city - and region."
"In Westchester County, New Rochelle has launched a downtown partnership between local government and a joint venture of RXR Realty and Renaissance Downtowns. It started with an inclusive process of community engagement, in which the development team spent time listening to local hopes and fears before making proposals," they wrote.
"New Rochelle's innovative example shows that the suburbs have the practical tools to do their part and that by forging robust public-private partnerships and working with one another in concert, communities can chart a sustainable and equitable path to growth and prosperity."

September 27, 2010
Mr. Steve Mihalik, President
United Transportation Union Local 832
7625 Ogden Avenue
Superior, WI 54880
Case Number: ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
LM Number: 002142
Dear Mr. Mihalik:
This office has recently completed an audit of UTU Local 832 under the Compliance Audit Program (CAP) to determine your organization's compliance with the provisions of the Labor-Management Reporting and Disclosure Act of 1959 (LMRDA). As discussed during the exit interview with you on September 7, 2010, and with Treasurer Troy Buck on September 8, 2010, the following problems were disclosed during the CAP. The matters listed below are not an exhaustive list of all possible problem areas since the audit conducted was limited in scope.
Recordkeeping Violations
Title II of the LMRDA establishes certain reporting and recordkeeping requirements. Section 206 requires, among other things, that labor organizations maintain adequate records for at least five years by which each receipt and disbursement of funds, as well as all account balances, can be verified, explained, and clarified. As a general rule, labor organizations must maintain all records used or received in the course of union business.
For disbursements, this includes not only original bills, invoices, receipts, vouchers, and applicable resolutions, but also documentation showing the nature of the union business requiring the disbursement, the goods or services received, and the identity of the recipient(s) of the goods or services. In most instances, this documentation requirement can be satisfied with a sufficiently descriptive expense receipt or invoice. If an expense receipt is not sufficiently descriptive, a union officer or employee should write a note on it providing the additional information. For money it receives, the labor organization must keep at least one record showing the date, amount, purpose, and source of that money. The labor organization must also retain bank records for all accounts.
The audit of Local 832's 2009 records revealed the following recordkeeping violations:
1. Failure to Maintain Supporting Documentation for Officer Expenses
Local 832 did not maintain adequate documentation for various reimbursed expenses to officers totaling at least $1,538 for gasoline and some unidentified expenses. For example, Local Chairman Timothy Flynn was reimbursed $143.50 in July 2009 for "gasoline expenses." Vendor receipts were found to show that gasoline was purchased on 6/19/09 and 7/17/09, but there was no explanation of the union business purpose requiring the two purchases of gasoline. In another example, Local Chairman Eric Anderson was reimbursed $45 in November 2009 for printer ink, and no vendor receipt was found to support the purchase.
As noted above, Local 832 must retain original receipts, bills, and vouchers for all disbursements. In addition, when the actual cost of gasoline is authorized to be paid, records must identify the dates of travel, locations traveled to and from, number of miles traveled, and the union business purposes for each use of a personal vehicle for union business travel.
2. Lost Wages
Local 832 did not retain adequate documentation for a lost wage reimbursement payment in November 2009 to Vice Local Chairman Eric Anderson totaling $1,330. Records must be maintained in support of lost wage claims that identify each date lost wages were incurred, the number of hours lost on each date, the applicable rate of pay, and a description of the union business conducted. The audit found that for this disbursement Local 832 retained a handwritten reimbursement request for "lost earnings" (or a reimbursement for wages lost while conducting union business) noting the amount was for two "yard jobs" (which you described as his work shifts) at $240 each and a third occasion at $850 when he went from "Superior to Dilworth and return." The records retained in support of these claims do not identify the dates that lost wages were incurred, the number of hours lost, the applicable rate(s) of pay, or an adequate description of the union business conducted.
During the exit interview, I provided a sample of an expense voucher Local 832 may use to satisfy both the lost wage and reimbursed expenses requirements. The sample identifies the type of information and documentation that the local must maintain for such disbursements.
3. Lack of Salary Authorization
Local 832 did not maintain records to verify that the salaries reported in Item 24 (All Officer and Disbursements to Officers) of the LM-3 were the authorized amounts and were therefore correctly reported. You indicated you did not know where the written salary authorizations may be. Treasurer Troy Buck provided a list of the salaries, but stated that he did not know how or when the salaries were determined, other than he supposed that the membership had authorized the amounts at some point in the past. A review of the meeting minutes retained for the audit year revealed the authorized salaries were not noted in the meeting minutes for that year. Local 832 must keep a record, such as meeting minutes, to show the current salary authorized by the entity or individual with the authority to establish salaries.
4. Bank Records
Local 832 did not maintain records, such as bank statements, to support the existence of a certificate of deposit and checking account in the name of the union at Citizens Bank. Bank statements obtained during the audit showed the end of year 2009 balance of the certificate of deposit to be $5,000 and the checking to be $1,668. Therefore, over $6,600 in union assets, as well as the interest earned, were not supported by records. However, a review of the records revealed no financial transactions involving those accounts were made during 2009. For all bank accounts held by Local 832, the local must maintain all bank statements, certificates of deposit, and other documents issued by banks related to transactions on the accounts. (These accounts are discussed further in the reporting violations section below.)
Based on your assurance that Local 832 will retain adequate documentation in the future, OLMS will take no further enforcement action at this time regarding the above violations.
Reporting Violations
The audit disclosed a violation of LMRDA Section 201(b), which requires labor organizations to file annual financial reports accurately disclosing their financial condition and operations. The Labor Organization Annual Report (Form LM-3) filed by Local 832 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, was deficient in the following area:
1. Failure to Report all Accounts
The amount reported in Item 25 (Cash for the Start and End of the Reporting Period) consisted only of the book balances for the checking account at Superior Choice Credit Union. Item 25 failed to include the book balances for the savings account and certificate of deposit at Citizen's Bank. The instructions for item 25 indicate to report the total of all the organization's cash on hand and on deposit at the start and end of the reporting period, including funds in bank and credit unions such as checking accounts, savings accounts, certificates of deposit, and money market accounts.
2. Failure to Correctly Report Officers
Item 24 (All Officers and Disbursements to Officers) included persons who are not officers of Local 832. Article 56 (Officers of Locals) of the UTU International Union Constitution states that the elective officers of a local consist of a President, Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer, and a Board of Trustees. However, Local 832's 2009 LM-3 report also included various delegates, chairmen, and representatives. The instructions for Item 24 state to list all your organization's officers who held office at any time during the reporting period. The instructions further state that "officer" means "any constitutional officer, any person authorized to perform the functions of president, vice president, secretary, treasurer, or other executive functions of a labor organization, and any member of its executive board or similar governing body." For LM-3 reporting purposes, the Local 832 delegates, chairmen and representatives should be considered the employees of the union and disbursements to them should be reported in Item 46 (Employees).
I am not requiring that Local 832 file an amended LM-3 report for 2009 to correct the deficient items, but Local 832 has agreed to properly report the deficient items on all future reports it files with OLMS. Keep in mind that when completing the 2010 electronic version of Form LM-3, the 2010 form will be pre-filled with the end of year balances from the 2009 report. Since this figure is inaccurate (because of the failure to report the Citizen's Bank accounts), you must correct it and explain the changes in Item 56 (Additional Information).
Other Issues
Travel Expense Policy
Regarding the payment of travel expenses, the audit revealed that on at least one occasion Local 832 paid an individual based on the number of miles driven multiplied by a rate per mile (check 5066), on another occasion paid the exact amount of gasoline receipts (check 5064), and on a third occasion paid a requested dollar amount for which records did not specify the basis for that amount (check 5080). You indicated that members decide on what amount to reimburse an individual. Treasurer Buck indicated that he thought Local 832 paid such expenses at an established rate multiplied by the number of miles actually driven. OLMS recommends that unions adopt written guidelines concerning the method by which travel, as well as other expenses, will be paid to help ensure effective internal controls and safeguard union assets.
I want to extend my personal appreciation to United Transportation Union Local 832 for the cooperation and courtesy extended during this compliance audit. I strongly recommend that you make sure this letter and the compliance assistance materials provided to you are passed on to future officers. If we can provide any additional assistance, please do not hesitate to call.

Items From The Collection Of Leo Harrison (Hampshire 1939-1966)
Leo Harrison was a right-hand bat and wicketkeeper who made his first-class debut in 1939 aged 17. He played 396 matches for Hampshire, scoring 8,854 runs at an average of 17.49. His career highest score was 153. In all, he scored 6 centuries. An outstanding fielder, after the War he became Hampshire's first choice wicketkeeper taking a total of 573 catches and 103 stumpings despite poor eyesight which required him to play in glasses, and was a member of the Hampshire side that won the County Championship for the first time in 1961. His final match for Hampshire was in 1966 making him the last professional player from the pre-War years to play first-class cricket after the War. In the 1960s he took up coaching positions in Argentina and Rhodesia, as well as at Hampshire. Harrison was a close friend of John Arlott who described him as "Honest as the day and a trier to the last gasp himself, he finds it hard to forgive anything which is not straight, or any cricket played with less than full effort. Know Leo Harrison and you must trust him and like him".

Reflection: Switching Careers
It's been over 1 ½ years since I left the library field and entered the technology arena. The pay cut was the certainly a bitter pill to swallow. As an Assistant Library Director, I made over $50,000; my initial switch into technology yielded a pay cut of about half my income. I had to make some hard choices such as downsizing my car and apartment. My salary has since increased about $10,000 annually, which makes it possible for me to make student loan payments and make payments on my credit cards. Overall, working in a field that I enjoy makes all the difference!

Some weeks at work are stressful, as they would be at any job, but even during those weeks, I still enjoy the work and that makes my smaller budget worthwhile. I was very fortunate during my career switch that I was able to find a job in the same organization – I basically switched departments – I work with the same co-workers that I worked with at the library. I was also very fortunate that my current Director was willing to hire a librarian for a technology job – not every hiring manager is able to look beyond the job titles on my resume and see the possibilities of hiring an employee from another field. Changing careers was truly a leap of faith: I believed that my pay would increase and that I would be happier in the technology field – I'm happy to report that both turned out to come true!

Dear All,
I would like to congratulate all members involved for continuing to put out such exhibitions to bring all together. For several years I have been working through my artwork to interconnect the whole humanity. And when I see so many artists working towards it, gives me more energy and confidence that art is going to achieve what lectures and sermons cannot achieve. Let us keep striving harder and thank you all again. I feel blessed to be part of this community. I revisited the show last week and rediscovered a lot of beauty and truth again.
Salma Arastu, 2013
Thank you for all your hard work on this most interesting event! I think it was a most meaningful experience for those of us artists who participated, and from my perspective on opening night, it seemed to be meaningful for the viewers.
Jane Brenner, 2013 Artist
Let me first say that I was very moved by the exhibit. I enjoyed the fluidity of the layout - old imagery mixed with new, all faiths intermingling, it brought home the sense of spirituality -- and, most importantly to me, deep spiritual questioning and understanding at a very personal level -- being a common experience that transcends borders of ethnicity, race, background, language, and even eras of history. The Hebrew text cut out of the huge scroll falling onto the floor particularly stood out to me with its scale and elegance, silently making a statement about the importance of the Word but also the importance of words not being confined to their literal, static, written meanings.
I also loved the two paintings by the artist Naomi Teplow. They too emphasized a living, breathing faith, and the skillful detail in which they were so lovingly created moved me so. Thank you for including my piece among such a rich, thoughtful and sincere collection. I am very grateful for the opportunity to show my piece in such a beautiful space.
Sanaa Khan, 2013 Artist
Just went to the interfaith art exhibit and wanted to say a big congrats and mazel tov to all of the amazing artists who have pieces in the show. It was inspiring and hopeful, and I am thrilled to see the artwork of many of you that I know - beautiful!
Debbie Fier, Kehilla Community Synagogue, 2013
I really liked the exhibit, particularly the sculptural installations near the windows. Neat stuff. I liked the combinations of word and language, incorporated in the visual art pieces plus the poetry. The big scroll was stunning, and the hanging works and written works.
Beck Cowles, visitor, 2013
This is a final THANK YOU to you all for all the amazing heart, soul and sweat that went into organizing the "Finding Common Ground through Sacred Text" exhibition! Some attendees called it 'inspiring,' 'illuminating,' and 'exceptional.' Many artists were similarly 'inspired,' and 'grateful,' 'impressed' and 'blessed.' The receptions were wonderful opportunities to gather and learn. As someone who's worked hard on the art and culture programs at ICCNC this year, I can say this show was a wonderful way to end our season and a great way to continue the interfaith connections that have been seeded by the congregations and communities.

Background: During BOEM's North Carolina offshore wind planning process, the need for accurate representations of offshore wind turbines to help evaluate potential visual impacts became apparent.
In cooperation with the National Park Service, the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) contracted with Mangi Environmental Group and its subcontractors, T.J. Boyle Associates and LPES, Inc., to undertake a visualization study. This effort involved the creation and development of photo documentation, photomontages and videos to provide an accurate representation of the appearance of offshore wind facilities from a variety of locations along the coast of North Carolina.
In total, 234 offshore wind turbine simulations were created. Each simulation consists of an array configuration of 200 turbines and utilizes 1,000-meter turbine spacing. The simulations included:
An overview location map of this information can be found here
This effort also included an analysis of the meteorological conditions along the coast of North Carolina. This analysis was an integral part of the study. The report can be found here.
A presentation outlining the technical aspects of the study can be found here.
Photo and Video Simulations: Below are two matrices with links to the photo simulations and the 30-second video simulations. The matrices show each simulation's viewing location, distance from the viewing location, the lighting condition, and the turbine type simulated.

American media may put the United States at the top of the Beijing 2008 Olympic medal tally, but the rest of the world would tell you otherwise.
Of course the China Daily tally has China on top with the most golds, but the BBC, CBC and most other international media also report China first and the United States second. Australia may be the exception with its comical per-capita tally. But in the end, America is the odd man out with its total medals tally because everyone else is focused on the number of golds.
The International Olympic Committee has no official medal tally because the Games shouldn't be about winning or losing, but bringing the world together through competitive sport -- right?
I love the United States just as much as any other American but, come on, can we really say we won when China had 15 more golds than us? Of course winning silver and bronze is a great feat, but the gold is really what everyone is striving for and it should count for something more in the medal tally.
I'd like to think we're all proud of our athletes' performance in the Beijing Games no matter how many gold, silver and bronze medals they rack up. So let's be good sports and just admit that we're No. 2 this time around.

Volcanic News: New Zealand
Photo: White Island Crater
Feb 15, 2007
Geologists say the crater lake on White Island has jumped to a record temperature of 74degC and the water level has plunged 6m - possibly signalling an eruption on the island.
The drop in water level "may cause instability in the geothermal system that could result in minor eruptive activity," said GNS Science volcanic surveillance co-ordinator Brad Scott.
White Island in the Bay of Plenty has not erupted since 2000 but the water level has risen 30m in the past six years.
The water temperature in its crater lake has jumped from 45degC last August to over 60degC in January and was now 74degC. The lake water was also very acidic "like scalding hot battery acid", Mr Scott said.
Eurasia's highest volcano erupts again in Russia's Far East
Feb 15, 2007
PETROPAVLOVSK-KAMCHATSKY, February 15 (RIA Novosti) - Eurasia's highest volcano, Klyuchevskoi, has begun erupting on the Kamchatka Peninsula in Russia's Far East, a prominent scientist said Thursday.
The eruption does not immediately threaten the peninsula's settlements, but volcanic ash, consisting of magma particles with a diameter of up to 2 millimeters (.078 inches), can poison land and water. Ash emissions and trails can also present a danger to aircraft.

The names of the Seven Dwarfs
The Brothers Grimm tale Snow White is, of course, extremely well known – as are the seven dwarfs that take her in when she escapes her evil stepmother. (Dwarves or dwarfs? Well, the plural of dwarf can actually be either.) You can probably name them all, or at least get to six and spend the rest of the day scratching your head and desperately trying to remember the seventh. But… who named them?
In actual fact, the Seven Dwarfs are anonymous in the Grimms' 1812 story (titled Schneewittchen) and in the revised version the brothers published in 1854. It wasn't until a Broadway play in 1912, a full century after the fairy tale first appeared, that the gentlemen were given individual names: Blick, Flick, Glick, Plick, Snick, Whick, and Quee. Wait… what?
That's right. Unless you are an aficionado of the playwright Winthrop Ames (who wrote the play under the pseudonym Jessie Graham White), then there's a strong chance that you've not come across those names. It wasn't until the Disney film in 1937 that the better known names Doc, Grumpy, Happy, Sleepy, Bashful, Sneezy, and Dopey came into existence, chosen from a longlist of fifty names. (Even after that, you might have encountered Huckpack, Naseweis, Packe, Pick, Puck, Purzelbaum, and Rumpelbold or Axelrod, Bartholomew, Cornelius, Dexter, Eustace, Ferdinand, and George, or many other groups of names.) But let's admit that Disney's septet are the best known now, and take a closer look at their names.
The only dwarf whose name is not an adjective, those who haven't watched the film might assume that he is a doctor. That was actually true in an early incarnation of the character (in an initial outline, 'Doc's stethoscope tangles up with beard') but the final version was simply a paternal miner. Doc as an abbreviation of doctor is found as far back as the 1850s, but the earliest known sense of doctor referred not to medicine but to mediaeval philosophy. Not long after Disney's Snow White and Seven Dwarfs, a famous rabbit by the name of Bugs Bunny would start saying 'What's up, doc?', though this is presumably unrelated.
Grumpy has always meant 'surly; ill-tempered', and is first found (according to current research) in Fanny Burney's 1778 novel Evelina. The Historical Thesaurus of the OED offers many earlier synonyms including crouse, currish, apirsmart, thrawn-mowit, and (appropriately, perhaps) elvish.
While the dwarf is noted for his cheerful disposition, happy originally meant 'lucky, fortunate, successful', and could be used of either a person or an event or period; this sense is retained in the term happy accident. Other early senses of happy include 'dextrous, skilful, especially in one's choice of appropriate words' and 'pleasantly appropriate to the occasion'.
Somebody sleepy is, as you might expect, 'inclined to sleep; having a difficulty in keeping awake; drowsy, somnolent'. Other synonyms Disney could have chosen include slummy, anapped, slumber, slumberous, and somniculous.
Is this dwarf 'stupefied by sleep or a drug' or 'idiotic'? Those are the two definitions of dopey offered by OxfordDictionaries.com, though the link with dope ('a drug taken illegally for recreational purposes, especially cannabis') is probably maligning this lovable guy. Get the dope on dope in our blog post.
You might be more likely to say shy in everyday conversation, but this dwarf has opted for a longer name with an interesting history. Spotting that –ful, you might wonder what this bash is that the poor guy is full of. Well, bash is an obsolete verb meaning 'destroy the confidence of, make or become abashed', while abashed is 'embarrassed, disconcerted, or ashamed' – which is a bit stronger than this dwarf's diffidence.
Sneezy is a dwarf who sneezes a lot – which, as character traits go, isn't the most immersive – but the origin of sneeze may surprise you. Apparently sneeze is an alternation of the Middle English fnese due to misreading or misprinting (after the initial fn- had become unfamiliar). The word was later adopted because it sounded appropriate – though fnese is also pretty onomatopoeic.

Now that County Fair week is over, it's time to sign up for the library's summer reading program. Princess Kitten will be reading with or without the program, of course. With the other kids, when the house was too quiet, I wondered what sort of trouble they were getting into. With her, I know she's curled up with a book.
Kitten is a girl after my own heart. Like many homeschoolers, I have collected a ton of books over the years --- 11 tall bookshelf units at latest count, not including the ones in the kids' bedrooms. And yet, as I was going through the Ambleside Online book lists (adding the titles to my Frugal Homeschooling Store), I kept thinking, "Oh, I don't have that one, and I remember loving it as a kid... Ooh, I want a copy of this book, too... Hmmm, I should get one of these for Kitten..."
So now I have a lot of new (old, classic) books for my interlibrary loan list. As much as I'd love to have my own copy of every title, my budget just can't swing it. Yes, many are available used, some as low as a penny, but the shipping costs add up. Also, books do take up space, which means more bookshelves --- where in the world would I put another unit? But the library will store the books and deliver them for "free" (reminder: pay the property tax!) whenever I ask.
After all, the only thing one really needs to plan a great homeschool program is a library card. But our local library is so small that I can't find much by browsing the shelves, and I know how faulty my memory is. What other treasures have I been missing?
Thankfully, I don't have to rely on my own memory. The Internet comes to my rescue, with a wide variety of dream lists...

Questions to ask when buying a house Part 2
#8. Has the property been tested for radon?
"Has this home had a radon test recently?"
Having a potential home inspected for radon can be a literal life saver; exposure to radon can lead to lung cancer.
#9. Is there a risk of Pyrite in the foundations?
Pyrite or Iron Pyrite (FeS2) is a very common mineral that occurs in many sedimentary rocks as framboidal crystals. Subject to the certain conditions, pyrite is problematic in confined construction, such as under floor filling and bridge embankments. This is due to a chemical reaction that can cause pyritic backfill to swell.
Construction material containing relatively large amounts of pyrite minerals is likely to expand, crack and/or crumble over time. This occurs when framboidal crystalline pyrite, air and moisture, mix causing a chemical reaction to occur that creates expanding crystals within the material.
#10. Are smoke detectors properly installed and located?
Check the smoke detectors of any home you're interested in purchasing. One of the questions to ask when buying a house is, "Are smoke detectors in the right locations in this home?" Don't think if smoke detectors are put anywhere that they will be effective. "Smoke detectors save lives. It is important to put smoke detectors in the right places in your home – and you may not know if the home seller did that."
#11. When was the last time this home had an inspection or structural survey.
Mold can be a health hazard causing itchy eyes to permanent lung damage. "When was the last time this home had a structural survey inspection?" Finding out when there was an inspection enables you to see the home's history and determine if you want to proceed to making an offer and securing a mortgage loan for the home. If there is mold present, it will also help you determine how and by whom it will be taken care of. Some clients will want to make an offer but we would always advise a structural survey is done before contracts are signed.
#12. Is the house covered under home bond
Most new houses being built in Ireland are registered by the builder with an insurance scheme such as Homebond or Premier Guarantee. These schemes cover structural defects in new houses for 10 years after completion of the house.
So if your home is less than 10 years old and you then find it has structural problems, get a structural survey and check whether your property is covered by Homebond or Premier Guarantee or a similar guarantee scheme.
#13. Are there any services charges associated with the house.
Service charges are fees that property owners pay for services provided by their development's Owners' Management Company (OMC). These include repairs, running costs such as block (building) insurance, electricity and lifts, and maintenance and other services such as waste collection or upkeep and landscaping of common areas.
Service charges are not an optional payment. They generate the cash flow that an OMC needs to provide services and maintain your development. The lease or contract you sign when you buy a property in a multi-unit development sets out your legal obligation to pay these charges. Your solicitor should also have explained this to you at the time you bought your property.
Depending on your development, your service charges may pay for:
- Repair and maintenance of common areas, car park, footpaths, roads
- Cleaning common areas, windows, carpets/mats, gutters and drains
- Lift repairs and inspections
- Electricity and lighting for common areas
- Landscape and gardening, pest control
- Security – internal locks and doors, intercoms, external doors and gates
- Safety – smoke alarms, fire extinguishers, health and safety inspections
- Refuse collection and recycling
Professional charges (For example block/building insurance, public liability insurance, the OMC's legal/auditor fees)
The Multi-Unit Development Act 2011 sets out a list of cost categories to be used by OMCs when setting out service charges:
• Insurance
• General maintenance
• Repairs
• Waste management
• Cleaning
• Gardening and landscaping
• Concierge and security services
• Legal services and accounts preparation
• Other expected expenditure relating to maintenance, repair and management of the common areas
Services charges are usually sent out to owners once a year, following the OMC's Annual General Meeting. It can be agreed between the owners and the OMC that service charges can be paid in instalments rather than in one lump sum.
Service charges should be set at a level to pay the running costs for your development. Factors that may affect these running costs include:
• If common areas are designed to a very high standard
• If they have elaborate features (e.g. ponds, fountains)
• The number of lifts
• Whether there are electronic gates
• The size of the grounds and landscaped areas
• Whether 24-hour concierge/security services are provided
The service charge should not include costs relating to the original design, construction and snagging of the development and the Multi-Unit Development Act 2011 specifically prohibits service charge income being used to complete the development.

Growth Mind Set
At Hersden Village Primary School we have a growth mind set culture.
We enjoy challenges.
We know that if we get stuck we can find a Plan B and keep on trying.
When someone else gets the answer right we know we can learn from them.
We know we can learn from mistakes.
Our approach to growth mind set is based on the research of Carol Dweck (2000) which recognises that a child's approach to learning can enable them to fulfil their potential and set them on the path to a love of life-long learning. There are two types of mind set – fixed and growth. A fixed mind set limits potential where as a growth mind set supports growth and development.
Click here for more information.
What our pupils say about growth mindset-
'We have a growth mindset by trying and trying again. It's OK to make mistakes.'
'We have to persevere with our learning as it makes us better thinkers and learners.'
'Having a growth mindset means you can manage distractions and I think I am good at this.'
'Having a growth mindset means I never give up! It has improved my learning.'
'Having a growth mindset has helped me with my writing. I am now more absorbed and I write more than usual.'

My favorite part was when the miller's daughter guessed Rumplestiltskin's name. I like that part because he did not get to keep her child.
I felt happy when I read the book because I like when the miller's daughter got to marry the king. She deserved to be happy.
This book has a lot of illustrations. They are very colorful and detailed. I liked the picture of the palace the best because it reminded me of jewels and I like jewels.
I recommend this book to K-3rd graders. I hope they like it.

WIP: Warriors of Chaos, Sigvald the Magnificent #2
I consider the gold done now. The Lahmian Medium did something strange to the silver parts of the shield when it dried so I will have to rework those. I ended up doing the same colors on the cape and tabard that I did on Belegar, purple on the outside with white inside. I will be doing some form of free hand on the cape at least ... seems it was made for that. The hair will be the next big paint session.
P.S. Belegar totally destroyed Chakax before he even had a chance to swing ... sad panda.

Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull has countered Labor's taunts that he is a prime minister without an agenda, saying the Coalition is "taking time" to consider its tax policy.
The tax battle will take centre stage again this week, with the opposition signalling its intention to pursue Mr Turnbull's perceived policy paralysis in Parliament.
On Sunday, Opposition Leader Bill Shorten said that, after 904 days of Coalition government, the best Mr Turnbull could come with was a "plan to have a plan".
But Mr Turnbull, who spoke at length to former prime minister John Howard about negative gearing over the weekend, said his government was taking the time that the ALP did not to consider all the consequences of tinkering with the tax mix, particularly in relation to property, the nation's single biggest asset class.
"What John [Howard] says about being careful with tax policy is absolutely right. We're taking the time to analyse these issues very carefully and Labor clearly did not. They thought they would get political credit for a big announcement but without thinking through the consequences of what they have done," Mr Turnbull said.
"To administer such a big shock to the single biggest asset class is very reckless."
He said the Labor proposal on negative gearing - restricting tax relief on investment-related losses to new properties - would hit property prices and asa result "undermine the confidence of Australian families".
Still, Labor's line of attack appears to be working, with Mr Turnbull confirming over the weekend that the government would expedite the announcement of its election-year tax platform.
The Prime Minister and his cabinet had resolved to use the budget to outline expected changes to tax on superannuation and caps on negative gearing but May is now considered too far away, with the prospect of months on the back foot and Labor's negative gearing policy being the only one on the table.
The Prime Minister is also facing rising pressure from his backbench to settle on a tax plan and thinly-veiled criticism from former prime minister Tony Abbott who launched a 4000-word defence of his much-maligned government over the weekend.
Labor's Anthony Albanese said that, after nearly six months in charge, Mr Turnbull was little more than "Tony Abbott in a top hat" who may need a long election campaign to come up with an agenda of his own.
"They don't have an agenda or a narrative. They don't have any sense of purpose at all," Mr Albanese, the opposition spokesman for infrastructure, transport, tourism and cities, said of the rebadged Coalition government.
Mr Albanese said Mr Turnbull was at war with Mr Abbott.
"But that is not the big problem. The big problem is Malcolm Turnbull at war with himself. On climate change, on marriage equality, on actually funding public transport. On the Republic even. I think that people want conviction politicians. They want people to be able to stand up for what they believe in. Malcolm Turnbull is not the Malcolm Turnbull people thought they were getting," he said.
A double dissolution called a day after the budget remains a live option and Mr Albanese said the two-month election campaign that would follow could be useful for the Coalition
"I wouldn't be surprised if they actually needed a little bit more time to discover some policies and to discover that they actually are the government and start acting like it," he said.
Retiring Labor frontbencher Gary Gray said last week that the Bill Shorten-led opposition was "highly unlikely" to win this year's election, but Mr Albanese insisted it was "winnable".
"It is not the first time that a government leader has been ahead of an opposition leader [in the polls]. When you're the Opposition Leader, inevitably, you lose a bit of paint as you argue the case strongly," he said.

"Thump… thump… thump… drump… DUMB… DUMB…"
My heart was lambasting me. I was standing alone on a podium. My school, sorted height wise into neat lines, stood staring at me. I was supposed to say the 'Message of the Day' – 'A sleeping fox catches no hen', as assigned to me by Mrs. Kunar, our class teacher. What did it mean? What was so remarkable about someone not being able to sleep and catch someone else in parallel that it had to be announced to half and a quarter thousand boys and girls in the morning assembly? I wasn't sure. What really mattered was that I had muttered the sentence under my breath all morning, and not once did it sound right. The accent sounded vernacular, the articulation crude. This was clearly not my job. And yet here I was, on my way to make a mockery of myself.
My heart was lambasting me. I ignored it, and uttered the words in haste. My school stood silent. I couldn't look them in the eye, so I couldn't gauge their expression. Did they hear it well? Should I repeat myself? Should I proceed straight to the school anthem? Did I remember the school anthem?
My heart was lambasting me audibly. I could've faked a stomach ache in the morning and missed school today. I could've collapsed on my way to the podium – acted unconscious for the next half an hour. I had wasted golden chances to escape this ignominy, and random words from the school anthem were now escaping my memory. The principal and the teachers stood behind the podium; I could hear them breathing. Their collective breaths pronounced their growing unhappiness with me, the class topper. I started singing the first line of the anthem and then lip-synced the rest of it along with the singing crowd. At the end of the assembly, Mrs. Kunar asked me whether my microphone had stopped working. I avoided her gaze and mumbled vague words.
I was in Class V then. In the next two decades of my academic and professional life, I would avoid almost every opportunity to face an audience. Exceptions would be few, far between and nauseous. My parents had me trained in music, and yet none of my school mates or colleagues would ever hear me singing solo. In chorus performances, I would position myself away from the microphone so that if any individual voice were to become too conspicuous, it would surely not be mine. Off periods in school would make my classmates cheerful and me wary, lest a replacement teacher should choose to pass his/her time by asking us to sing or recite. Knowledge transfer sessions in office where I was required to present would have me looking stiff and struggling to frame my sentences, and not because of lack of knowledge or experience. All these years, life and I have fancifully taken each other close to and away from triumphs and failures, love and betrayal; but my fear of public speaking has always hung around my neck – like a rock I'm married to for life.
For some time now, I've wanted to break this obnoxious bond. However the world I inhabited till some twenty days back was that of corporate professionals; and that's a world where you often share your coffee break with smiling vampires. Would you want vampires hovering around your bed while your wounds get opened and operated upon? Nay!
For some time now, I've also wanted to reclaim my piece of the sky, where I could quietly work on myself, away from vampires and the unentertaining melee of regular cockfights. My current joblessness has helped me achieve that space.
Earlier this week, I called up some of the local Toastmasters' clubs with an intention to join one of them. For those of you unfamiliar with the term, Toastmasters is 'a USA headquartered nonprofit educational organization that operates clubs worldwide for the purpose of helping members improve their communication, public speaking, and leadership skills.' (Source: Wikipedia). You could read more about them here.
You see, I'm finally ready to put myself out there, on the dreaded podium, and allow myself to stutter and mutter and forget my vocabulary in front of a live audience and bore them to death! I, a lost class topper of a long lost era, bring to myself the ignominy of failure so that I may try and take a step beyond it. Dear reader, would you wish me luck?

What Can San Diego Home Sellers and Buyers Expect in the 2015 Home Market?

What Can Home Sellers and Buyers Expect in the 2015 Home Market?
The First Two Months Are Revealing
In the San Diego Housing Market, much of my prognosis for the rest of the 2015 Housing Market is made up with the benefit of many others opinions already forecast. The end of Feb ends the first two months with resales being lower than expected and new homes sales picking up steam.
This has been accomplished with the easing of credit qualifications for new home buyers. News of the Fannie and Freddie review of qualifiers has already already lead to the easing of those credit qualifiers with slightly lower credit scores and less down payment helping new home buyers. But the resale market's buyers are still tending to hold back. One reason may be that while unemployment is easing, salaries are stagnet.
We also know that there are over 450,000 residential home buyers in California that are still under water. The Federal and state tax forgiveness provisions in the tax code have been extended by Congress prior to Christmas this year. So I expect with prices starting to flatten out, there will be an uptick in the number of distressed sales for 2015.

2013 Projections for the San Diego real Estate Market
March 4th, 2013 categories: Local San Diego News You Can Use, Market and Forecast Updates For San Diego, San Diego Real Estate, San Diego Real Estate News, San Diego Relocation, Selling San Diego Real Estate
I think much has been said or implied that the real estate market recovery is underway. If that is so and it does seem that way at the moment, perhaps there are some projections or a forecast as to what can be expected in 2013. With many many market reports that show the trend lines to decreasing inventory and slight increases in property prices in certain market areas, it would be wrong in my judgment to draw more inference from them than what has already been shown.
With no crystal ball to predict the future, there are some economic indicators that point to more difficulties ahead with the fiscal cliff clearly in front of us. In my estimation, even if there is a temporary solution, the federal deficit looms even larger and there seems to be no consensus about the biggest items in the budget, the entitlements.
The mortgage interest deduction which has always been sacred also appears to be on the table in the continuing negotiations to avoid the fiscal cliff. There are varying opinions on what the effects could be if the mortgage interest deduction is tampered with. Because once that is opened up to some of the considered or proposed changes, thinking that will be it as far a changes goes, usually proves to be a wrong judgment. It will likely be tampered with again and again until it basically would disappear or with such limits imposed that it could still have a profound effects on real estate markets.
We have seen a clear draw down of inventory. What parts of the inventory? The homes that have been remodeled, upgraded and show very well and also the entry level homes that have been picked up for cash by the investors. So what about the rest of the inventory? Some of it at least seems to be being passed up by Buyers or offered on with much lower prices and either rejected by the Sellers in hopes of a better offer, or these homes just remain on the market and are chasing the market instead of leading it.
The Mortgage Relief Act is also expiring at the end of the year and if there is no consensus, some short sale sellers could find themselves in a world of hurt. Not to worry everyone says, this will be extended. OK, so then so lets not worry about it.
In past years I have always been optimistic and I have decided to remain so. After all, interest rates are ridiculously low, prices seem to be increasing, inventory is selling, so what's to worry about. Perhaps that will be my projection. "Don't worry about it". It will all work out for the best. Who's Best? I suppose the best answer will be, "It depends on Who's asking". For those of us living in San Diego and for those that will make their way here, what won't change is the awesome beauty of our coastline and the great weather in the city where "Happy Happens". As for the rest of the concerns, "Don't worry about it".
