I wanted to make this blog a "how to" blog. If there is something you need to know how to do I can show you. I do not know everything though but I am pretty good at figuring things out, fixing things and sometimes making things better. Please submit any ideas you may have for topics and I will consider creating a post about it.

Laser Wall Art!
I am going to show you how to make some really neat looking laser wall art using just a laser and a digital camera. I figured this out at home one night bored after buying my Wicked Lasers Core 5mW green laser.
You will need,
1- Laser (any color)
1- Digital Camera ( with night mode or adjustable shutter speed )
Ok the first thing you need to do is turn on your digital camera and put it in night mode. If you cant do that then maybe you can adjust the shutter speed somehow. The idea is to have the shutter stay open as long as it can so it takes in the most light possible.
But lets say your camera is in night mode and ready to go. You are not going to be able to hold your camera so if you have a tripod go ahead and get that set up or find a surface where the camera wont be shaken.
So take a picture and listen for the shutter. You should be able to hear when it is doing its thing. use that to know how long you can draw on your wall with your laser.
Take a picture and try drawing your name with you laser. Once you are done take a look on your camera and see how it turned out. You should now have apicture of your name in laser light on your wall.
If you are really good then you can draw more complicated things. Try getting a little closer to the wall but stay out of the cameras view. This helps you draw a little more steadily.
Have a look at some of the things I was able to come up with.

GREECE: Society Begins to Crack Under Harsh Measures
Every working day, more than a hundred people crowd around the entrance of the merchant and passenger boats' reconstruction industry, well known as 'The Zone', in the southern suburb of Attiki.
Most of them are unemployed steel workers and torch welders, who wait desperately from the early hours of the morning for an announcement of jobs offered on a daily basis on the ships that dock at the port.
'Tensions often run high among them,' says Makis Kistikidis, a steel worker with 32 years of experience in the Zone, amid a scuffle between some workers scrambling to grab a two-day job slot.
'This is not the worst of days,' Kistikidis says. 'Very often, there are no jobs at all. Many of these people haven't had more than five or six days of work since the beginning of this year, and no more than 100 working days since 2008.'
While public debate is Greece is focused on austerity measures to cut the country's ballooning budget deficit, little attention has been paid to the societal impact of growing unemployment and how these harsh measures are squeezing salaries of ordinary citizens.
The zone, once a strong industry employing over 5,000 people on a daily basis, is now a vivid example of Greece's economic collapse. Its slow demise, as Kistikidis explains, began when the lure of cheap labour in China and the Far East propelled ship owners away from the shores of Greece.
The global financial crisis in the last two years has slowed down commerce further. Unemployment has hit the workers very hard.
'Today unemployment in the Zone is above 90 percent,' says Kistikidis. 'Check out the dates of registration in the unemployment list. You'll see how many people are stuck here since the beginning of the year or even before that.'
Aristedes G, a 58-year-old steel worker, has not had a single day of employment since 2008.
'After being unable to pay up my debt for a bank housing loan, bank authorities confiscated the property and put it on auction,' he says.
'Look, this is my food,' he says, raising a plastic bag with leftover cheese pies donated to him by owners of the café at the entrance of the zone.
Such stark stories have become all too common, says Kistikidis. He points at a line of men idling around the café. Many of them have endured economic hardships for months. 'Atmosphere at home is often bad and many just prefer to spend time outside to avoid the nagging at home,' he says.
Four couples known to Kistikidis have separated over the past year, he says, precisely for this reason.
Kistikidis cites the example of one of his unemployed friends, George, a 47- year-old man who was abandoned by his wife after a bank he owed money to evicted him from his house. Kistikidis sought to visit him on a recent evening to boost his morale, but he was in for a shock. George had hanged himself.
In recent months, port workers have joined strike action, taking on the government against reforms intending to deregulate their sector. Kistikidis bristles at companies for bypassing unemployed Greek labour and importing cheap labour from Latvia and Lithuania. The average wage for Greek labourers ranges from 60 to 75 euros per day whereas Latvian or Lithuanian labourers cost about a tenth of that.
'This time we managed to stop them,' he says of the government. 'But this is the future they want to give us.'
The Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), a grouping of rich nations, reported recently that unemployment in Greece is expected to rise beyond 14 percent, four percent higher than last year.
Experienced workers are facing hardships, just as much as novices in the market.
The problem is deteriorating work ethics, says Fannis Klissas, a 26-year-old cook. Klissas landed a job a few months ago in a pastry shop in Athens that paid 840 euros per month.
'In the beginning the agreement seemed good. The money was a bit less than what it is usually but in these times you can't have it all,' he says.
A few weeks after he joined his job, he became aware that the owner of the shop was imposing fines on people who made mistakes during production.
'I made a mistake some weeks ago that cost the owner a few euros, but be asked me to pay a fine of 100 euros. When you work overtime everyday, six days per week, you can't be punished for spoiling a couple of cakes. If you cannot do your job they can warn you and then ask you to leave the job, but this attitude of a boss being able to punish people the way he desires is totally unjustified.'
Klissas refused to pay up and was fired.
This culture prevails across the country, and is tolerated only because of mounting economic uncertainties, says Klissas. 'People are scared and easily manipulated. Things are getting tougher here. Most of the people put up with things that they should speak against. How can they? Don't they understand that work should be based on mutual respect and mature human relations, not domination and fear?'
Many observers say that deregulation is the price Greek society has to pay in order to increase competitiveness and cut its mounting debts. Some others predict that hardships resulting from the austerity measures could spark more severe social tensions in Greece.
Afroditi Korfiati, a special investigator with the Labour Inspectorate of the Ministry of Labour, responsible for exposing work place irregularities and resolving disputes between workers and employers, suggests people should stay calm until the impact of austerity reforms materialise.
'There is a general mood that things are deteriorating. But the actual data we are gathering proves that workplace irregularities are just as bad as last year. We are trying hard to maintain checks,' Korfiati told IPS.
The measures are also impacting her own department, she says. 'We are 18 investigators less than last year. And vacancies aren't being filled up.'
Recently, people took to the streets for the fourth general strike this year. The crowd was smaller compared to previous strikes, fuelling speculation that the fear of losing jobs is compelling people to stay quiet despite the growing frustration.
'It is not fear that keeps people away from demonstrations. It is the lack of any alternative political perspective for the future,' Xristina Kopsini, a columnist wrote in Kathimerini, a political daily.

7 p.m., Market Street Cinema. $6-$8.
Before cable got involved, local and regional wrasslin' was big business, and nowhere was it bigger than in Memphis, Tenn. The new documentary "Memphis Heat" captures the movement's heyday, beginning in the late '50s with the likes of Sputnik Monroe (an early civil rights champion with a skunk-colored pompadour) and continuing into the '70s and '80s, when modern wrestling legends like Jerry "The King" Lawler and Jimmy Hart dominated the scene. The Southern territory wrestlers traveled, which included Jonesboro, Blytheville and Fayetteville, merits some coverage. And Lawler, the doughy, trash-talking, self-styled king of the ring, gets a lot of welcome screen time, both in archival footage and from contemporary interviews. Reliving his feud with Andy Kaufman, from the Memphis wrestling community's perspective, is great fun. And of course fans of piledrivers, top-rope dives and folding chair smashes can look forward to dozens of montages. The film sticks around at Market Street for one week. Co-producer Ron Hall will be on hand Friday to sign copies of his book "Sputnik, Masked Men, and Midgets," which inspired the film and makes a fantastic coffee table book. LM
7 p.m. Harry E. Kelley Park, Fort Smith. $10.
Well here's something that few people saw coming: an awesome, multi-day music and theater festival in good ol' Fort Smith. The inaugural Festival on the Border seems to have something for just about everyone: classical, pop, country, rock and "Hairspray." Oh, and Girl Talk. If there's one thing seemingly everyone loves, it's Girl Talk, the dude who plays a laptop while dancing around in his skivvies. Friday night's show kicks off at 7:30 p.m. at Harry E. Kelley Park downtown, with red-dirt maestros The Randy Rogers Band and the modern country troubadour Dierks Bentley. Saturday night includes two venues. Starting at 7 p.m., the University of Arkansas at Fort Smith hosts the empty-calorie pop sounds of Andy Grammer, the aforementioned mash-up giant Girl Talk and The Fray, a rock quartet that will satisfy those who just can't get enough majestic, sweepingly Coldplay-esque balladry. At 8 p.m., the Fort Smith Convention Center hosts The Fort Smith Symphony Orchestra, featuring Mark O'Connor, the virtuoso violinist and composer. At 4 p.m. on Sunday, The Young Actor's Guild presents the musical "Hairspray," also at the convention center. Tickets are $10 a day, and proceeds from the festival will benefit 10 charities in the region. RB
6:30 p.m. Wildwood Park for the Arts. $75.
This whole "foodie" whatchamacallit is getting a bit tiresome, but mainly because it's frustrating that it's taken this long for so many Americans to get on board with the idea that of course food and drink are among the most enjoyable, essential elements of life. Well nobody can accuse the folks at Wildwood of being late to the party. This is the 14th year that the park has hosted the Wine & Food Festival. Little Rock has some pretty good restaurants, and this event gives you the chance to sample a bunch of them, including Ferneau, Acadia, Lulav, Ashley's, ZaZa's, Dizzy's Gypsy Bistro and more. The festival also includes scores of wines from all over the world, a grape stomping, silent auction, prizes and music from The Meshugga Klezmer Band and The Itinerant Locals. Proceeds from the festival benefit Art To Go!, which takes Wildwood's touring show to elementary schools around the state. RB
7:30 p.m. The Weekend Theater. $12-$16.
There has been no shortage of creative efforts — films, books, visual art, music, theater — that have sprung from the unmitigated heartbreak of Sept. 11. Those that will most likely prove to be enduring works of art, though, will be those that center on people — on the individual stories of loss that too often are swept up in the big-picture narrative. Journalism professor Anne Nelson wrote "The Guys" in the immediate aftermath of Sept. 11. She had volunteered to help a New York City fire captain write eulogies for the eight men he lost. The two-character, one-act play is based on those eulogies, and tells the story of four firefighters' lives through a series of overlapping monologues and dialogues between Jane, a journalist, and Nick, a fire captain who is overwhelmed by grief. The play has been performed all over the country, as well as overseas to glowing reviews. The Weekend Theater's production runs through Sept. 24. RB
6 p.m., War Memorial Stadium. $55.
It's a given, we're going to pound the hapless Lobos, who've won two games in their last 25. But as Joe Adams' miraculous punt return in the season opener demonstrated, you can find drama even in blowouts. Also, you get to do a lot of chest thumping and hear the names of newcomers — like Alonzo Highsmith, Kody Walker and Marquel Wade — who seem poised to contribute this year. At press time, there were still some tickets available in the southeast corner of the stadium. But even if it's a sell-out, there's always tailgating; it'll be glorious in these spring-like temps. If drinking too much and playing Baggo with the masses and paying $55 for a ticket isn't your bag, the game is on ESPNU, too. LM
7 p.m. University of Central Arkansas. Free.
If there is such a thing as puppetry royalty, Heather Henson would certainly qualify. Though puppetry has been around for millennia, Henson's father Jim Henson has had an incalculable influence on the art form. "The Muppets," "Sesame Street," "Fraggle Rock," "The Dark Crystal," "Labyrinth" and his other works were, without question, massive touchstones of 20th century American popular culture. The youngest of five, Heather Henson is a puppeteer, artist and co-producer of Handmade Puppet Dreams, a series of films showcasing the work of an emerging generation of puppeteers. She'll be screening four volumes of films, all of which run for 75-90 minutes and include five or six short pieces. Though certainly suitable for children, the films are aimed at an adult audience. On Sept. 17, Henson will screen Handmade Puppet Dreams Children's Program at the Faulkner County Library at 11:30 a.m. This should be awesome. RB
7:30 p.m. University of Central Arkansas. $30-$40.
There was a time when Dionne Warwick was known more for her endorsement of the Psychic Friends Network than for her remarkable voice. According to longtime partner Burt Bacharach, Warwick possessed "a delicacy when singing softly — like miniature ships in bottles." It seems though, that her affiliation with the psychic hotline has faded into the background, just an odd footnote to a long career — 50 years and counting — in the music biz. She had a string of hits that spanned several decades, including "Walk On By," "Then Came You," "I Say a Little Prayer," "Do You Know the Way to San Jose?" and "That's What Friends Are For," among many others. This concert kicks off UCA's Public Appearances series. RB
8 p.m. Downtown Music Hall. $6.
If ever there were a metal band that created bitchin' studio albums while retaining a live show that must be heard/felt to be believed, it is The Body. "Loud" describes The Body in the same way that "prolific" describes Robert Pollard or "weird" describes Jandek — that is to say, accurately, but incompletely. The Body's last album, "All the Waters of the Earth Turn to Blood" has been widely hailed as a left-field doom metal masterpiece. The band's current tour is some sort of collaborative thingy with their buddies in Braveyoung, a North Carolina quartet that traffics in slow-build, instrumental sadness epics. The two bands recently recorded an album called "Nothing Passes." I haven't heard it yet, but it includes another off-the-wall cover (something of a hallmark for The Body, which has covered tunes by Danzig, Crass and, naturally, Sinéad O'Connor) with a take on "Vision" by Exuma, the Bahamian psychedelic calypso madman who's way overdue for the deluxe-reissue treatment. I have a hard time imagining how loud it's gonna be to add a whole other loud-ass band's gear to The Body's already cripplingly, transcendently loud-ass show, but I'm excited to experience it firsthand.

Topic Page: Laughlin, Robert B (1950 - )
US physicist who with Chinese-born US physicist Daniel C Tsui and German physicist Horst L Störmer was awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1998. Laughlin explained a phenomenon discovered by Tsui and Störmer: that the application to an appropriate material of an extremely powerful magnetic field at very low temperatures can cause electrons in the material to form a quantum fluid in which 'quasiparticles' can behave as if they had fractional electron charge.
Laughlin provided the theoretical explanation to account for the fractional quantum Hall effect, as the effect discovered in 1982 by Tsui and Störmer is called. He proposed that when electrons were exposed to temperatures close to absolute zero and immensely strong magnetic fields, they condense to form a type of quantum fluid, similar to what had already been reported for superconductors and liquid helium. He suggested that the electrons combined with the 'flux quanta' of the magnetic field in stages or steps to form a composite particle or 'quasiparticle' that was able to condense. The fractional steps observed by Tsui and Störmer were associated with these quasiparticles.
Laughlin was born in Visalia, California, USA. He received his PhD in physics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1979. He joined Bell Laboratories in New Jersey, in 1979 and carried out research there until 1981 and was a staff member at the Livermore National Laboratory in California from 1981 until 1982. He became associate professor of physics at Stanford University in California in 1984, and a full professor in 1989.

Solar energy, let alone its benefits, is very grey area for many people and hence the end result is people missing out on the many advantages of solar energy. One advantage of solar energy is that it helps to reduce pollution. This is great news to everyone especially environmentalists who have been fighting tooth and nail to save the environment for many years. Global warming which is another thorn in the flesh for many people is another problem that can be easily eliminated with the use of solar energy. This is because solar energy does not emit any methane, carbon dioxide or other gases that could harm the atmosphere. Another of the advantages is that the source of solar energy is not like that of fossil fuel which is finite. With solar energy as long as there is he sun then the energy is a given.
Safety and health benefits are also some of the advantages of solar energy. It has been established that people who use candles and kerosene run the risk of having problems with eyesight or respiratory problems. With solar energy the two problems are non issues because it is quite safe. Then there are also the accidents that come about when one is using kerosene or candles but this is unheard of when people use solar energy. Any excess energy that is generated by solar energy can be stored for use at night and this is a great advantage for those people who like to burn the midnight oil reading or doing other things.
Cost is a factor that is really considered when people do things and when it comes to power the script is the same. Firstly, it does cost much to install equipment and in some areas it is actually free. Traditional sources of energy are usually prone to rising costs but with solar energy it is a bit different because once one has bought the equipment the do not need to consider any other costs. While it might cost an arm and leg to maintain some sources of energy it is not costly to maintain solar energy and this is also one of the many advantages of solar energy. Growth in technology has greatly aided in reducing the cost associated with the production of solar equipment and this ahs greatly helped to reduce the cost of solar energy. People in the rural years have for quite a long time lacked a proper lighting system and solar energy is the best for such people because all they need is the sun and they will be in business. There are very many companies that deal with solar energy installation and if the above advantages appeal to anyone they can conduct a research both offline and online to ascertain the best companies to work with.

Buying a Condominium (Script 407)
|The Dial-A-Law library is prepared by lawyers and gives practical information on many areas of law in British Columbia. This script gives information only, not legal advice. If you have a legal problem or need legal advice, you should speak to a lawyer. For the name of a lawyer to consult, call the Lawyer Referral Service at 604.687.3221 in the lower mainland or 1.800.663.1919 elsewhere in British Columbia.
This script provides general information about buying a condominium unit (or strata lot). This script assumes that you have already checked script 406 on "Buying a House".
For information on owning a strata lot, check script 401, called "Owning a Condominium".
What is a condominium?
The word condominium is used in other provinces. It means a building or complex of buildings with some individual owner apartments or houses. In BC, the word condominium is used informally.
Strata lot—in BC, a condominium unit is called a strata lot. It can be an apartment, townhouse, commercial space, a freestanding house, a duplex unit, a bare lot of land containing a home, or some other configuration, as long as the strata lot is shown as a strata lot on a properly registered strata plan.
Strata corporation—in BC, a condominium complex or development is called a strata corporation. A strata corporation allows for individual ownership of strata lots in a single parcel of land, and is created by a strata plan which is a series of drawings and notations registered in the Land Title Office. That strata plan is the document which shows the boundaries of each strata lot and the common property.
Owners of the strata lots are members of the strata corporation, and together own the common property, pay for the common expenses of the strata corporation, and vote on matters of common interest.
Bare land strata corporations are unique in that the strata plans show only a top down view of the property parcel, and each strata lot, which is a bare lot of land usually containing a home which belongs entirely to the strata lot owner.
Strata corporations and other types of condominiums
It's not the size or shape of a development that makes it a condominium project. Instead, it's the legal nature of it. If the development is legally created by a strata plan, it's a strata corporation—whether it's a 300-unit high-rise apartment, a 50-lot bare land strata recreational development, or a 2-unit strata duplex.
Some condominium complexes in BC are not strata corporations and are not governed by the Strata Property Act. Some apartments, townhouses and duplexes operate under various legal frameworks such as housing societies, privately owned rental buildings or others. This also occurs on first nations reserve lands, where provincial property law doesn't apply normally. You should get legal advice to ensure that you know what you are offering to buy.
For more details on condominiums, check script 401, called "Owning a Condominium". It explains several topics including common property, limited common property, the strata plan, the strata corporation, the strata council and insurance.
What should you consider before making an offer to buy a condo?
Typically, a prospective buyer of a strata lot should request and receive documents that will let them make an informed decision about whether to buy the strata lot. At a minimum, a buyer should obtain and carefully review the following:
- A. Form B Information Certificate—this sets out required facts about the current status of the strata corporation and the strata lot being sold. The Form should include the financial obligations for that strata lot, any parking and storage facilities assigned to the strata lot (the monthly strata fee and any special levy payments outstanding), and other useful facts. The Form B should have attached documents such as the current budget, rental disclosures statement (if any), rules and the depreciation report for the strata corporation (if there is one).
- The Form B Information Certificate also shows if the strata corporation has adopted any new bylaws which will take effect but haven't yet been filed at the Land Title Office, and whether the strata corporation is involved in any lawsuits or arbitration.
- You should always review a current Information Certificate before making an offer to buy a strata lot. Or you should make your offer subject to reviewing a current Information Certificate.
- The strata corporation may charge a fee plus the cost to copy the Form B Information Certificate.
- B. Depreciation report—every strata corporation with 5 or more strata lots must obtain a depreciation report unless the owners have regularly voted by 75% vote resolution to defer the report. If a depreciation report has been prepared, a copy of it must be attached to the Form B Information Certificate. The depreciation report must have financial forecasting and an inventory and evaluation of the common property and common assets and any other property that the strata corporation has a duty to maintain. A depreciation report helps the owners anticipate and budget for future common expenses and special assessments.
- If a depreciation report has not been obtained, be very careful in evaluating the condition of the property as a whole.
- C. Title to the strata lot—this document lists any covenants, easements and other encumbrances on title. With your lawyer, review the documents registered against title, and confirm that there are no registered documents which reduce the value or usability of the strata lot.
- D. The strata plan—it shows the boundaries of the strata lot you are thinking of buying. The strata plan, or associated schedules, show the unit entitlement which determines the strata lot's proportionate share of contributions, and the schedule of voting rights for the strata corporation. Compare your obligations to those of other strata lots to ensure that they are proportionate.
- E. The bylaws of the strata corporation—these set out owners' specific rights and obligations and give you a good sense of how rigidly the strata corporation controls owners. Look carefully for any pet, age, and rental restrictions and whether they will be a problem for you.
- F. Obtain and review the Land Title Office's Strata Plan General Index for other documents registered in the Land Title Office, such as limited common property designations, or other important documents, such as a rare, unanimous section 100 resolution which changes the default division of expenses.
- G. Several years of minutes of meetings of the strata council, and general meetings of the owners, including minutes of any section, can give you a sense of how active the strata council is, and recent issues the strata corporation has been dealing with such as water leaks, expensive repairs coming up, and discussions about winding up the strata corporation. Ask for at least 2 years of minutes (ideally, more than that), and review them carefully.
- H. For new developments, the owner-developer must give prospective first buyers a copy of the up-to-date disclosure statement including any amendments as filed with the Superintendent of Real Estate. That document discloses the intentions of the Owner-Developer, and has marketing representations, as well as disclosure of legal encumbrances and other important information.
- Although the disclosure statement itself doesn't bind the strata corporation as a governing document, it includes schedules which are binding, and it can indicate the developer's intentions for the development, and plans for future phases, which may be important to you.
- For older developments, it may be possible to get a copy from the seller, or the strata council.
Checking those documents, a smart buyer or their lawyer can get a reasonable and current sense of the strata corporation and the strata lot, and any other documents to review.
Pay attention to issues important to you, and to the following:
- Financial obligations—make sure that you can afford to be an owner in the strata you're considering.
- a. Monthly strata fees—all strata lot owners must pay a proportional part of the common expenses of the strata corporation by paying strata fees for their strata lot. The strata fees are normally based on the strata corporation's annual budget divided by the unit entitlement which sets out the share for each strata lot. Check the current budget and the Form B Information Certificate for the current strata fees. Compare the strata fees to other similar developments.
- i. If the strata fees seem high, check if there are expensive recreational facilities or other features, or budgeted items which you will have to help pay for—whether they benefit you or not.
- ii. If the strata fees seem low, consider whether the budget is adequate and be realistic about likely strata fee increases and large special levies that may be needed for expensive repairs.
- b. Other assessments—strata lot owners may need to pay other expenses, including:
- i. Special levies—a strata lot owner also needs to pay their share of any special levy for extraordinary expenditures which is assessed against all strata lot owners
- ii. User fees—there may be user fees to use parking or other facilities.
- iii. Fines and reasonable costs of bylaw enforcement—these can be charged back to an owner who contravenes the bylaws or rules.
- iv. Insurance deductibles—many strata corporations will charge an owner for insurance deductibles or other charges arising from sources of damage within a strata lot.
- Review the financial statements and budget of the strata corporation to assess its financial situation, where money is being spent, and the balance of the contingency reserve fund and other accounts. Review what special levies and other funds have been assessed and spent on major expenses such as repairs.
- a. Monthly strata fees—all strata lot owners must pay a proportional part of the common expenses of the strata corporation by paying strata fees for their strata lot. The strata fees are normally based on the strata corporation's annual budget divided by the unit entitlement which sets out the share for each strata lot. Check the current budget and the Form B Information Certificate for the current strata fees. Compare the strata fees to other similar developments.
- The physical condition of the project—the general rule is that every owner in a strata corporation must contribute to common expenses, such as repairs, unless an exception to the rule applies. If the development is in poor repair, you will have to pay your share of the cost to fix it, even if the repairs do not involve your strata lot or the part of the project where your unit is located. You may have to pay for special levies that have been previously approved, with future installments. Future installments should be disclosed in the From B information certificate.
- Review the minutes of meetings to see if any major repairs have recently been made or are planned. If the strata lot is part of something called a section, you also need to check the minutes of general meetings of the section, plus minutes of the meetings of the section's executive. In each case, ask for complete copies of the relevant minutes for at least the past 2 years.
- Ask to see the strata corporation's depreciation report, and carefully review it for expensive replacements, repairs or upgrades which have been recommended, particularly those which are likely to be costly, required soon and for which no contingency reserve funds have been set aside.
- Is the community right for you—review the minutes carefully for issues which might concern you. If you are on a fixed income, or borrowing heavily to buy a strata lot, then watch for discussions which might indicate expenses, such as ongoing or threatened litigation, water leaks, building envelope problems, and structural or major repair concerns.
- A careful review of the minutes can tell a lot about the strata corporation. You might see noise complaints relating to an adjacent strata lot, or very strict enforcement of the bylaws, recurring disputes, the existence of factions or similar trends which may concern you. Are the minutes a well-organized and well-written record of decisions, or do they resemble a gossip column? Is there a licensed strata manager involved in meetings? Do they appear to have difficulty electing a full strata council? Does the Council meet monthly or infrequently?
- The type of ownership: freehold or leasehold—our legal system distinguishes between freehold ownership and leasehold possession. In a leasehold development, the landlord owns the property, but gives possession to the tenant for the term of the lease. In most condominium developments, people own their strata lots. These are called freehold developments—each owner holds "fee simple title".
- Leasehold developments—in these, a landlord owns the entire property parcel, but grants a long-term lease to a developer (often, for 99 years) to build a strata development there. The developer is a long-term tenant who, with the landlord's permission, creates a strata development on the landlord's property, and then the developer sells leasehold interests in each strata lot to buyers, for a specific term.
- If a person is registered on title as the long-term tenant under a long-term lease in a leasehold strata development, the Strata Property Act treats that person as an owner. The long-term tenant must pay the monthly strata fees and any other contributions, such as special levies, and can sell their leasehold interest in their strata lot to the next leasehold buyer.
- Depending on the project, the developer may prepay all the rent due under the long-term lease, or ongoing head lease payments may form a part of the leasehold strata corporation's budget payable as part of the strata fees.
- Be cautious with leasehold developments—be sure you understand the remaining term of the head-lease, the term of your own leasehold, and what happens when the terms expire. Normally, the long-term tenant must vacate, or leave, the strata lot, unless other arrangements are made. The landlord may have to pay an amount to the departing long-term tenant using a formula in the long-term lease or in government regulation. It is important to carefully read and fully understand the lease contracts and related documents. If you plan to buy the interest of a long-term tenant in a leasehold strata lot, you should make any offer subject to first reviewing the long-term lease and all related documents with your lawyer. Make sure that you understand what you are buying and that the leasehold is being valued correctly. The fair market value of a leasehold strata lot is usually much less than the value of a comparable freehold strata lot.
- Bylaws and rules
- As an owner of a strata lot, you must comply with the bylaws and rules of the strata corporation. The law assumes you know them. Read them carefully before you buy.
- Together, bylaws and rules set out rights and responsibilities of owners, tenants, occupants and visitors. They also set out special restrictions on the use of each strata lot, common property and common facilities.
- Bylaws can very broadly restrict what people can do in the development, including restricting or prohibiting:
- rental of a residential strata lot by the owner to a tenant.
- pets as specified in the bylaw or generally
- the permitted age of occupants
- smoking
- barbeques
- the color of window coverings or other things visible in windows
- the use of parking stalls or vehicle size
- changes to the strata lots and common property
- other uses which can be made of a strata lot, common property or common facilities.
- Reading the bylaws and rules, and comparing them to the standard bylaws, can give you some idea about how restrictive the strata corporation is. It also provides some assurance that the priorities of the strata corporation match yours. Consider how you might want to use your strata lot. Don't make any assumptions without carefully reviewing the bylaws and rules and satisfying yourself that you will be able to use the strata lot as you intend, and that your vehicle, pet, child and possessions will be able to move in with you.
- Get a copy of any rules. Although rules apply only to the use and enjoyment of common property and common assets, they are not registered in the Land Title Office, and can specifically restrict activities which might be important to you. For example, a rule may limit the size of vehicles that can park in a common-property parkade, or restrict the hours when a common-property fitness centre is open.
- If you ask, a seller can obtain strata documents from the strata corporation for you to review, including the up-to-date, consolidated bylaws, and a complete copy of the rules.
- Bylaws and rules can be changed, and some changes may dramatically affect how you can use your property.
- Other restrictions—bylaws and rules are not the only documents which can restrict how you may use a strata lot. Covenants, easements and other documents registered against title may limit the use of the strata lot or affect its value. For example, in a bare land strata development, the title of your strata lot may be encumbered with a building scheme that restricts your use of the strata lot or limits the size or other details of any house you want to build on your strata lot.
- Municipal bylaws and zoning rules may further restrict use of a strata lot.
- With your lawyer, review the results of a current title search for the strata lot, and the other legal documents and circumstances.
- Confirm what you are buying—check the location, dimensions and area of your strata lot. Balconies, parking stalls, storage units and other non-residential areas you may expect to have access to are sometimes configured in odd ways legally. For example, parking spaces can be common property, limited common property, or part of your strata lot. Each of those configurations has different legal effects and can change your repair obligations and your rights to use them.
- If the parking stall or storage locker currently assigned to the strata lot is designated as common property, then the bylaws may allow the strata corporation to allocate or reallocate the use of a stall or locker, and you need to confirm whether you will keep that assignment. The strata corporation may also use a short-term exclusive use agreement or special privilege to give an individual owner or tenant the use of a stall or locker for up to one year. After that it must be renewed if they want the use to continue. Or the developer may have arranged for an affiliated corporation to hold a long-term lease over the common property parking or storage area. In that case, to use a particular stall or locker, the owner may need to negotiate an assignment of the right to use that stall or locker under the long-term lease.
- If the purchase of a strata lot includes the use of one or more parking stalls or storage units, you should confirm the nature of your right to use the parking stalls or storage units. Verify that any limited common property features like balconies, parking lots, and storage units are assigned to your strata lot in the manner, size and location which matches your expectations, are correctly noted on the registered documents and match the representations in the Form B Information Certificate, the real estate listing and any seller representations.
- Strata corporations must now disclose the designation of parking and storage lockers, and how they are allocated to a strata lot in the Form B Information Certificate.
- Put all your questions in writing and get written answers from the seller and, if possible, the strata council.
Use a lawyer
Before making an offer to buy a condominium, have a lawyer review the critical documents, including the contract of purchase and sale, legal title to the strata lot, the strata plan and any amendments, limited common property designations and other resolutions affecting common property, the Form B Information Certificate, legal issues identified in the minutes, and the bylaws and rules.
If you can't see a lawyer before you make an offer, then add a sentence to your offer saying it is subject to your lawyer's review of the strata documents to confirm that no features reduce the use or value of the strata lot. Then take the offer to your lawyer before you remove any of the "subject to" clauses or the deadline for doing so expires. Strata lots are expensive and buying one is complicated. Mistakes can be costly. It makes sense to use a lawyer.
Be very careful about rent-to-own, time share and other non-standard ways of buying a strata lot—do not sign any agreement without comprehensive legal advice.
More information
- Check script 401, called "Owning a Condominium". Because buying a condo is very like buying a house, you should also check script 406, called "Buying a House." It outlines many important topics not covered here, including "subject to" clauses, title searches, fraud risks, property inspections, the statement of adjustments, and more.
- If you need financing, check script 408, called "Mortgages and Financing a House Purchase".
- Check the Strata Property Act.
- The BC Government's strata housing website has information for strata owners, strata residents and strata council members. This website provides basic information on: living in a strata, different kinds of strata, operating a strata (roles and responsibilities, meetings and voting, bylaws & rules, finances & insurance, repairs & maintenance including depreciation reports) resolving strata disputes, renting, buying and selling in a strata, the purpose of the government's strata housing website, including the role of government, strata legislation, changes to strata legislation, and additional help and support.
- Check the Condominium Home Owners Association of BC website.
- Check the Canadian Condominium Institute, Vancouver chapter, website.
- The Condominium Manual by Mike Mangan is available online and at public libraries.

But of Course!. For goodness sake, when MSNBC (a real news outfit, per the WH) is declaring they'd vote "twenty times" for the Dem candidate (any Dem candidate), there is zero chance that the press would do anything but yawn and smile, if the special election in Massachusetts could be stolen.
There are over half a million dead people and other non-residents clogging the voter roles.
I know many are feeling confident, but I say don't count your chickens. Unless Brown manages to pull off a win with a ten-point margin, expect this election to be "Franken-ized" until they "find" or "recount" the number of votes they need.
I think the Dems are being very stupid about this, myself. They should welcome a Brown win. He would be their salvation, as he would pull them out of their Obamacare quagmire, AND give them someone who is actually in office to demonize and hate, which Dems always need.
I'm going to assume Coakley wins MA until "every vote" is counted. And if the Dems cheat and take the seat, it will be filed, eventually, under a "Dumb Democrat Move."

In a reward based system, Tina Louise would be the carrot, but since it looks like the punishment part is anything from a bump on the head to a hole in the heart, perhaps it's best to just to stand pat. Born in New York City as Tina Blacker, Louise is best known for playing sultry Ginger Grant on the television comedy Gilligan's Island, but she is also a veteran performer from such films as God's Little Acre and Warrior Empress, the latter of which gave the world the above promo shot. It was made in 1960.

This week's page from the Goodtime Calendar of 1963 features the work of German born glamour photographer Peter Basch, whose photography appeared in magazines like Life, Look, and Playboy. This particular model is unknown to us, but during his career Basch photographed pretty much every prominent celebrity, among them Mansfield, Bardot, Andress, Belmondo, Mastroianni, Brando, Dali, Cocteau, Monroe, et. al., and published them in numerous photography books that sold well and made his name internationally known. Some of those appear below, with cover stars Candice Bergen, TIna Louise, and Brigitte Skay.

Check out the above shot of American cinema legend Cary Grant, looking his debonair best on the cover of the Chilean movie magazine Ecran. And on the back cover is Tina Louise from the days before she was banished to Gilligan's Island. "Ecran" is not, as far as we can tell with our imperfect language skills, Spanish, but rather French. The word means "screen," but we don't think the magazine is affiliated with French film magazine L'Ecran. We could be wrong about that, though. In any case, we have more issues of Ecran we'll show you later. This one was published in 1959.

I love shoe trends. I just cannot seem to get enough of them. And when I see something recurring, I like to make a note of it.
Anyway, what I see (a lot) so far, this year, are ankle straps. And a lot of pointy toe pumps replacing (to some extent) peep toes. Let's see how.
Starting with ankle strap pumps, I really like them. There's something about them that makes your feet look all dainty and feminine. Also, they're perfect with dresses and skirts. They also seem to, somehow, make your legs look longer. I don't know how, though.
As for pointy toes, I never really liked them. But I think I'm starting to change my mind about them now. I always thought they aged you, like, ten years and made you look evil. But they're actually pretty hot. Besides, they're an easy way of edging out an outfit. Especially black ones. Pumps, I mean.

Yes, that's a coyote and, yes, it's wandering near some people in the streets of Cleveland. Instagram user Darnell R. Ford (instagram.com/djrobford) posted these two videos of the four-legged predator around the East 36 Street and Payne Ave intersection.
The Instagram user follows the coyote from a car, expressing confusion about seeing the coyote within the city and surprise that a group of people standing outside a building aren't freaked out as it approaches. Take a look here:
Video one caption: "Coyote Downtown Cleveland pt 1... where the F did it come from!?!? #coyote #cleveland #downtown #wildanimals #lost"
Video two caption: "White people are fearless. Coyote Downtown pt 2... #coyote #wildanimals #cleveland #crazy"

Kevin Reid worked for me, paid through the fees office,
from as early as 1989. (Footnote 1) Initially he was engaged on
administrative tasks and remunerated accordingly and latterly,
having taken a degree in Politics and History, as a researcher.
(Fn.2.) Throughout this period he was contracted to work part-time
and I found his performance entirely satisfactory. In September
1997 his contract was renewed on the basis of part-time work,
contracted to work 20 hours (variable) per week. (Fn.3) Like my
other members of staff over the years he had flexibility in the
sense that there were no set daily starting or finishing times
provided his output was satisfactory.
By May 1998, therefore, Kevin Reid had been in my
employment for some 9 years and working under his latest contract
for approximately some eight months. The implication that I took
him on to work for the Labour Party`s campaign is utterly without
As is the suggestion that he did not provide me with
the work and value contracted for. In May 1997 I had become a
Government Minister (Minister for the Armed Forces and, latterly,
Minister for Transport.) The demands of these posts were such
that it was impossible to keep personally abreast of Scottish
political developments in any detail. Kevin Reid`s area of work
was adjusted to do just that. It remained varied according to
events but generally included monitoring of the Scottish press
(Fn.4), national periodicals (Fn.5), drafting of local press releases(Fn.6),
assistance with non-departmental speeches (Fn.7), local press
monitoring (Fn.8) and general political advice.(Fn.9 and 9A.)
He combined this part-time work with studies for his second (legal)
In April/May 1998 I was asked to assist with Labour`s
Scottish Parliamentary campaign planning, which I did willingly.
(Fn.10) In the course of that I drew up a widely circulated organisational
paper for the campaign which included other things, a need for
media monitoring. (Fn.11) Since Kevin already had experience in
that area I indicated quite openly (Fn.12) to officials in the
Labour Party that Kevin would be prepared to work on media monitoring,
that his working hours could be extremely flexible and that he
had time to spare. The reason that he had time to spare was simply
because in May 1998 he finished his degree course, not that he
would give up working for me. (Fn.13)
I also indicated that I would find the money, and
I did from the Labour Party (Fn.14) Kevin Reid started
on a part-time contract for 15 hours with the Labour Party from
the 25th May 1998 (Fn.15) From May until October 1998 he worked
mornings (Monday-Thursday and sometimes Friday) for the Labour
Party (Fn.16) and fulfilled his 20 hour commitment to me in the
afternoons, evenings and week-ends. (Fn.17) There was, therefore,
nothing sinister in the comment I am alleged to have made at a
meeting around April 1998, though I cannot recall exact or verbatim
comments at this distance in time. However, I do recall that I
insisted that there be a part-time contract in place with the
Labour Party precisely so that proprieties be observed. (Fn.18)
In October 1998, approximately six months prior to
the Scottish Parliamentary Elections, the Labour Party in Scotland
went on to augmented staffing and hours. (Fn.19) I insisted that
if Kevin were being asked to do so he should be given a full time
contract with the Labour Party. To do otherwise would have been
wrong in principle and would also have exposed the Labour Party
to attack as well as myself. This was agreed and, along with a
number of other recruits, (Fn.20) he started a full time contract
with the Labour Party on the 15th October 1998 (Fn.21) At that
point I, therefore, terminated his contract from the fees office
with effect from the October 1998 Salary payment, (Fn.22) allowing
two weeks in lieu of holiday, a quite normal procedure. (Fn.23)
He received no payments from the Fees Office thereafter. (Fn.24)
To replace him I employed another History and Politics
student known to Kevin and Labour officials for her voluntary
work for the Labour Party, Suzanne Hilliard. I employed her on
the same contract20 hours variableand the same salary
as Kevin Reid with the initial intention of covering the same
work areas. (Fn.25) However .[97]
I was, therefore, left without not only a researcher but a constituency
secretary/agent (Fn.26) The volume of mail received in the constituency
(up to 200 pieces of correspondence a week, of which perhaps 20-30
require detailed, written casework replies) (Fn.27) was obviously
more than I could possibly personally cope with along with ministerial
duties and such that during this period I had to divert Suzanne
Hilliard onto assisting in Constituency casework and general correspondence.
(Fn.28) I then had any formal letter typing done by the Susan
Hamilton Agency in the House of Commons. (Fn.29) I have asked
them for details of the work done for me and they have estimated
that during the first six months of 1999, the rough period of
Suzanne Hilliard`s employment, they completed over 440 letters
for me. (Fn.30)
Throughout the period of her part-time contract with
me Suzanne Hilliard worked voluntarily in her spare timealong
with many othersfor the Labour Party. (Fn.31) However,
she found working for me and assisting the Labour Party too onerous
to combine with her studies and she gave up the latter in mid
December 1998, some six weeks after joining my employment. (Fn.32)
In short, I absolutely reject the allegations made
by Mr Nelson. I have stated the facts of the case in some detail
to refute the allegations made in his letter. Obviously some of
the information above was, and is, confidential, and not known
either to Mr Nelson or to the parties mentioned in his letter.
I did not reveal to the Labour Party officials to whom I spoke
the nature of the parliamentary work done for me, the length of
previous employment, the salaries, the academic details or the
health problems of any of my employees. I did not expect anyone
who worked for me to do so either. (Fn.33)
I do not for one minute deny that I wished to assist
the Labour Party. Nor that those who worked for me part-time also
worked part-time or voluntarily for the Labour Party in their
spare time. There is nothing mysterious, secret, improper or uncommon
about this. (Fn.34) But my employees were not taken on for that
purpose; they were not paid for that purpose. They were paid for
work for me which they did to my satisfaction. Indeed, at a time
of some considerable personal difficulties I went out of my way
to try to ensure that not only were the proprieties observed,
but were seen to be observed.
Footnote 1: See
Note from the Fees Office re. Kevin Reid`s previous
periods of employment.
Fn.2: Kevin Reid
graduated with an Honours Degree in History and Politics from
the University of Stirling in May 1997. He then proceeded with
a two year Law Degree at the University of Strathclyde, Glasgow.

of Press Releases May-Oct 1998. Such press
releases were issued regularly to the local weekly newspapers.
As an indication of numbers, between 2nd July 1998 and Mid September
1998, 33 such press releases were issued.

Response to General Enquiries, Background Briefing/notes for Local
Speeches, List of Transport Speeches August-September 1998,
and article Thinking and Driving, all prepared
May-Oct 1998. The normal procedure is for me to receive the basic
factual draft and then. where necessary I would add political
shape or comment to the basic draft received. This procedure is
similar to that employed with Civil Servants.
Fn.9a: In addition
to the above tasks Kevin Reid performed a range of duties ranging
from. installing office technology to acting as my driver on occasions.

Scottish Press Extracts, April 1998.
Fn.11: See early
action points and paper Labour and the
Scottish Nationalists, 19th April 1998.
Fn.12: Mr McKinney`s
recollection that this matter was discussed at the margins of
the meeting is wrong. As the minutes show and my statement made
clear, the matter was discussed openly in the course of the meeting.
See Minutes of Meeting of 26th April, item: "Campaign
Team Structure".
Fn.13: There was
absolutely no prohibition in Kevin working part time for me and
part time for the Labour Party. I confirmed this orally with the
Fees Office at the time before proceeding and have since had it
again confirmed orally and in writing by the Fees Office. See
Letter from Fees Office dated 25th May 2000.
Fn.14: Monies were
available from the Labour Party for such staff. The meeting of
26` April discussed the costs and the budget to be negotiated
from Labour Party HQ for such staff. See "estimated
cost of running unit for 1 year£300,000." inMinutes

of Appointment of Kevin Reid to Part-time post. Dated 19th June
Fn.16: See Kevin
Reid Hours at the Scottish Labour Party, May-Oct. 1998,
paras 4.0-4.7, in the accompanying submission.
Fn.17: KR`s hours
During the period May to October 1998:
Monday to Friday first 8 weeks (May-end July)
8-11am each day.
Monday to Thursday (Aug-Oct)
Kevin`s morning work for the Labour Party constituted around 4
hrs within a 6 hours period, MondayThursday. He left the
office after monitoring the 1 pm news headlines. (Even Mr Rowley
puts his time of departure at no later than 1.30-2 pm). He
had a two hour break between the main news broadcasts, which Mr
Rowley fails to mention. He therefore actually worked a
total of around 4 hrs.
On a Friday( Aug-Oct)
he worked for the Labour Party only until 11am. A fact Mr Rowley
fails to mention. He had a break in between. A total of around
3 hrs actual work.
On Saturday and Sunday
he did not work for the Labour Party, a fact Mr Rowley fails to
These hours constitute part-time work. Kevin`s contract
called it part-time. By the standard of Mr Sullivan`s stated full-time
hours of 14 hours a day every day, and Mr Rowley`s contention
that his day was even longer, a work rate of 4-6 hrs, four days
a week and 3 hrs on a Sunday by Kevin Reid is certainly "part-time".
By the standards of the hours which he later himself worked, after
he had become employed full time by the Labour Party, such hours
were part-time.
However, the matter of how it is described is largely
immaterial to the main question. What is material is the actual
hours worked, and whether the actual hours worked for the Labour
Party precluded Kevin discharging his duties to me. It is quite
clear from all the evidence that they did not.
There is not a shred of evidence that during the
period May-Oct 1998 (when he also worked for me) Kevin was
working such long hours that he was precluded from carrying out
his Parliamentary duties of 20 hrs/variable. All of the evidence
is to the contrary. He was free to do so from a Monday to Thursday
from 2 pm onwards, on a Friday from 1 l am onwards, and all day
Saturday and Sundaya total of over 70-80 free hours
in which to allocate 20 hrs to his duties.
The potential working day is over 16 hours. The potential
working week is 112 hours. Even by Mr Rowley`s account, Kevin
Reid`s split shift of 4 hrs spanned a maximum period of
7 hours a day Monday to Thursday. It covered a maximum
of 4 hours a day on Friday, when he left at 1 lam. He did not
attend Saturday or Sunday.
Thus his maximum total hours occupied including
breaks and free time, even if Mr Rowley`s version is taken was
32 hours. The total minimum time he therefore had to
fulfill his obligations to me was around 80 hours per week.
See also Kevin ReidHours at the Scottish
Labour Party, May-Oct 1998, paras 4.0-4.7.
Fn.18: See confirmation
from Fees Office re. the propriety of these arrangements in Fn.13
Fn.19: This involved
enhancing full time staff and volunteers up to a total of over
70. This included recruitment and secondment of, e.g. Hilary Perrin
(tours), Bridget Sweeny (visits), lan Austin (Press), numerous
students who were brought in to supplement media monitoring (Rafferty
1st March p.8, Sullivan PPs. 3,4) party staff moved
from part-time to full time. status and increased numbers of part-time
volunteer. Kevin Reid`s move was not in any way exceptional, but
was part of a general pattern of augmentation of staff as the
campaign was stepped up a gear with six months to go to the elections.
Fn.20: See above,
at Fn.19. This also included a considerable
number of volunteers for media monitoring who were then arranged
into "shifts" of around 4 hours.
Fn.21: See
Letter of full-time appointment to and employment by Labour
Party dated 18th October 1998.
Fn.22: These facts
can easily be verified from the Fees Office and no doubt already
have been.
Fn.23: Confirmed
orally in conversation with Archie Cameron of the Fees Office
in January 2000. If required this can also be obtained in writing.
Fn.24: Again this
will be confirmed by the Fees Office.
Fn.25: See Fees
Office Contract of Employment for Suzanne Hilliard.
Fn.26: See Letter
to Constituents which was supplied with HoC envelopes
and handed out by doorkeeper in my office block to any callers
in the first half of 1999. Medical details could if necessary
be verified ... but I hope this will not be necessary due to the
extremely personal and confidential nature of this illness.
Fn.27: Based on
a survey of my office correspondence and mail which I have had
done. More detailed analysis can be supplied if necessary.
Fn.28: See examples
of Constituency Correspondence from this
period. Much of the correspondence from this period has been destroyed
under our "six months procedure", but luckily some letters
have survived, including several which incidentally refer to my
constituency secretary`s prolonged absence through illness. See,
eg. Letter to Mr D Sproull dated 31st March 1998,
and letter to Mrs Peters, dated 31st March 1998.
Fn.29: See Letter
from Susan Hamilton Agency, dated 3rd February 2000.
Fn.30: See Letter
from Susan Hamilton Agency, dated 3rd February 2000.
Fn.31: At the Labour
Party, Suzanne Hilliard worked as part of a team of unpaid volunteers,
working on `shifts`. (Rafferty 1st March. P. 8, Sullivan
PPs. 3 and 4) She did the evening shift, at its
most extended from around 5 pm until around 11 pm. She therefore
also normally had at least around 80 hours in which to complete
her work for me, similar to Kevin Reid. Ms Hilliard has informed
you that in the 2-3 weeks immediately prior to the Election she
may have doing somewhat less than 20 hours per week. This was
completely compatible with the "variable" nature of
her contract and would have been compensated for by those other
occasions on which she worked more than 20 hours.
Fn.32: She had
actually stopped attending classes by the end of November 1998,
though her official leave of absence was from the end of the winter
term in December. See Statement by Suzanne Hilliard.
March 2000.
Fn.33: Mr Rowley`s
employment with the Scottish Labour Party ended in some controversy
in May 1999, within days of my appointment as Scottish Secretary.
See Scottish Press References, May 1999.
Prior to this Mr Rowley showed no interest in my employees work
for me during his period of employment with the Scottish Labour
Party. Nor did he convey any reservations regarding them hold
two concurrent positions. Indeed, the fact that after his departure
from the Labour Party Mr Rowley combined working for a Member
of the Scottish Parliament with working concurrently with not
one but two other jobs in the political sphere suggests that he
still does not see any objection.
After the investigation began, Mr Rowley raised the
investigation with me in very general terms on two occasions to
my recollection. The first, on or around the 10th March at the
Scottish Conference where witnesses recall him approaching me
and asking for a word; and the second when he paged me at 4.10
pm on 20th March asking me to call himSee Pager
Message dated 20th March 2000. On neither occasion
did he enquire as to the nature of work which had been done for
me, by whom or when.
I understand that Mr Rowley also made approaches
to Ms Hilliard who refused to discuss matters with him.
Fn.34: See letter
from Fees Office Dated 25th May 2000.

If you really love her, you should not be selfish. Relationship should be fair and square, what you can do, she could as well. Thus if you do not want her to do something, do not do it. It is as simple as that. Listen to what she has to say, understand her problems even most of the times it does not involve you at all. Truth be told, if it does has something to do with you, she would never share it with you. Take time to get to know the real her, notice what she likes and what she does not like without directly asking her. She is your girl, so you have to know what she really feels even when she lies saying she is fine. Always be honest with her, that is the first rule to every relationship. Although it hurts, it is much better rather than you lie to her "to protect her feelings" when in reality, you only want to save yourself. You have to know that all women are detectives, sooner or later we will find out the truth. Believe me when i say it is much better to hear the painful truth from your own mouth. Get rid of your ego; not completely but lower it enough to say 'sorry' when you messed up. Prioritize her heart before yours, her feelings before yours and herself before you. Remind her how much you love her ever chance you got. Send a full page text of what you are feeling because us girls; will melt like ice under the sun when a guy describe what they feel in details. Go out of your way to win her even after you already got her. Do not stop all of your efforts once you she is yours. Just because you have her now, does not mean she will forever be yours. Prove to her how much she means to you and take care of her as good as you can because one day, you can only wish you have more time to do all of those cheesy things when she finally decide to leave.
It is a fact that woman is way more fragile than a man in all aspect, but that does not make them weak. If you want her, you have to understand her when she wants to be spoiled, when she is too tired to even smile, when she sulks because of trivial things and her tornado emotions when she is on her period. When she speaks her mind without think of it twice, when she says hurtful things just because you made her angry, do not take it to heart. Those are the times when she wants you to stay but push you away. Those are also the times when she cries because you failed to pick up her calls at 3 in the morning. Gentlemen are way more charming than bad boys, so go ahead and make the first move rather than wait for her to give you the signal. Women are complicated, there is no denial in that. But hey, if she is not complicated, she would not be amazing right? Show her off to the world, at least to your world. Truth be told, we never restrict you from being friends with another girls, being in a relationship does not mean you can never as much as speak to another female. However, you have to know your barrier. Keep your charm for yourself. If any woman tries to flirt with you, it is safe to say that you are stupid if you decided that it is okay to flirt back with her just because you are not the one who made the first move. She would not be full of herself if you had just ignore her. The title 'girlfriend' should come with special treatment, so if you treat ever other girls the same, what is the use of that title?

Everyone seems to be in dire need of a good night's sleep. Or, at the very least, everyone I've spoken to. I can't tell you how many times I've heard people say how exhausted they are and how desperate for a solid night of shut-eye.
It's no surprise that we all crave sleep so much. It's the one chance each day we have to completely relax and awake at least semi-rejuvenated.
But did you know how much our bodies and minds actually depend on a good night's sleep? Did you know that a full night's sleep is important to all aspects of your health? It's true.
Here are the most shocking health benefits of sleep.
1) You're more creative if you get a good night's rest, because while you sleep your brain reorganizes and restructure itself, which leads to a boost in creativity.
2) Students who get less sleep on a consistent basis (all-nighters are still acceptable, it seems), are prone to lower grades and other learning difficulties.
3) A good night's sleep will reduce inflammation, which is linked to a multitude of health problems, including heart disease (the #1 killer of women), strokes, diabetes, and arthritis.
4) Your memory improves. Scientists have found that when you're trying to learn something new, you mind can combine what you're attempting to learn while you're sleeping. While you sleep, your mind is actually PRACTICING the things you're learning!
5) Your attention span increases if you're getting proper amounts of sleep. Children become hyperactive while sleepy and adults get tired and woozy. So get to bed!
6) A good night's sleep allows you to maintain a good weight. The part of the brain that controls sleep also controls an increase in metabolism. That means when you're sleepy, your brain will tell you to eat more, which in turn can pack on the pounds.
7) Your stress levels will dip. Stress shoots to the moon when you're not sleeping properly and decreases when you're getting proper rest. Controlling stress can help moderate blood pressure and improve heart health.
8) Sleepiness can lead to car accidents (fatal ones!), because being tired can interfere with reaction times and decision-making on the road.
What was most surprising to you about this list of health benefits of sleep?
