Turn on lights in every room, and use the “night light” you brought to test the wall outlets. If you plug it in and it doesn’t light up, the outlet is probably dead. Any outlet near water – such as in the kitchen and bathrooms – should be the special kind that interrupts the flow of electricity in the event of a power surge. If the condo does not have them it needs upgrading. Three-prong outlets are important for rooms where you will operate computers and small appliances, so survey the condo to determine if those are present in sufficient numbers.
About The Author
Before buying any home, you should always hire a licensed and qualified inspector to provide you with a full professional report on the condition of the property. Or call toll-free at 1-888-420-MOVE (6683). The entire network is comprised of experts dedicated to the GLBT community.
Put the golf ball you brought in the middle of a bare floor. If it rolls to the other side of the room, the floor is tilted. Test the doors to see if they automatically open or close all by themselves, which is another confirmation that the construction is askew. If, on the other hand, your golf ball or door stays where you left it, the room is probably level and balanced.
Read the descriptions in the property offering for new condos, or the minutes of association meetings for existing properties. The amenities itemized in the offering should match what you see in the condo, and this includes the brands of appliances as well as the quality of any features such as flooring or counter tops.
Examine the ceilings and walls, using your flashlight, and look for spots where there may have been leaks or patch repairs. Study the areas around door and window frames and in the corners of the room for splits, cracks, or gaps. If the walls appear bowed or the lines where the walls and floor or walls and ceiling meet seem off-kilter, that may be a sign of warping or sloppy framing.
During the 1990s, Jeff Hammerberg worked in residential real estate, and observed first hand the “quiet homophobia” that pervaded the industry and silently but effectively hampered the lives of LGBT consumers nationwide by placing barriers between them and home ownership.
When you arrive at the condo, begin by testing the heating and air conditioning systems. Turn on the oven and the heat. If you’re viewing the property in winter, you may prefer to turn off the heat and crank up the air conditioning. As you tour the condo, these systems will have time to boot-up and prove their worth, and if they aren’t functioning properly you’ll be able to detect it within 10 or 15 minutes. Make sure that heat or air conditioning is delivered to every part of the condo, and that the oven heats up in a timely manner. Just be sure to turn everything off or back to the original settings before you leave.
#2 Check the Plumbing and Electrical Systems
#5 Do Some Fact Checking of Your Own
#3 Check the Walls, Ceilings, and Floors
Even if you aren’t technically trained, there are easy ways to judge the quality of condo construction. Book an appointment to view the property and bring along a flashlight, a “night light”, and a golf ball. Then follow these five simple tips:
If the condo is an older one, then study the minutes of the condo association meetings and look for mentions of repairs or service calls to the property. Repeated repairs may be a red flag, or it could simply indicate a responsive and responsible association, but you will need to investigate further to find out for yourself.
Study any official disclosures, and beware of buying a condo that has had previous problems with flooding, fire, environmental hazards, or other catastrophic scenarios.
Commitment, passion and dedication to changing what you perceive as a social injustice and prejudice was the drive that encouraged Jeff Hammerberg to create a monumental service to the American LGBT community, one that he had envisaged for a quarter of a century. 2004 was a significant year in realizing his dream, as Jeff Hammerberg, founder of the largest LGBT real estate marketplace in the world, reaped the rewards of his vision that had been nurtured for 25 years.
As you walk from room to room, check the plumbing by briefly turning on the various taps and watching to see if the water pressure is sufficient and if drainage is fast. Slow drains may just need cleaning to remove clogs, but lack of pressure in any building – or sluggishness in a brand new condo – may mean that the plumbing system is inadequate.
锘? Tips for Buyers to Determine the Quality of a Condo
#1 Test the Major Appliances and Heating/AC Units
You might discover that so-called top-of-the-line products used in the construction of the condo are actually cheap and inferior. Or you could be pleasantly surprised to learn that you are getting excellent materials for a discounted price because your builder has more buying power than you do and negotiated a good deal for your benefit.
#4 Read the Property Offering, Disclosures, or Minutes of the Condo Association Meetings
To find out what kind of quality you are getting for your money, make a few phone calls. If the builder touts a particular brand of insulated windows or hardwood flooring planks, for example, call the local distributors and find out how much they sell those particular items for, and then tally up how much you’re paying versus how much the builder is delivering.

November to January January to April May to September
February to April is when the weather is fluctuating between being OK and being poor. So having started the Turbo sessions in November keep them going. Keep up your involvement in other sports and consider combining cycling and running. A focus is very important or there is no reason to get out and train. Duathlons might be a possibility so it is important to experience some competition. Competition is different to training. You might train really well but struggle with the competitive stresses. The more that you can be exposed to competition the easier it gets.
Concusion:- Lots of indoor training is important as well as involvement in other sports. Get out on the bike at least once over the weekend.
November is when the days are shortening and the weather is deteriorating. It is a time when some cycling outside is possible but other approaches should be considered. Turbo Trainers have become widely used in recent years and provide a safe environment (but rather boring) to improve your fitness. Spinning classes can supplement this and I currently participate in one that is aimed at cyclists and there are videos of cycle races playing at the front of the class. These are part of a series of cycle training videos called “thesufferfest”. It is also a time to build core strength by doing other sports. Cross Country running organised by local clubs is a safer option than cycling to do on the dark evenings. There will also be an opportunity to enter some local cross country Weekends will provide an opportunity to get out on a real bike
May to September:- the weather is improving and it is a pleasure to ride along in the sun. You can go out in the evenings as well as increasing distances at weekends.
I will break the year down into3 parts
Assuming that control and road sense are Ok then you can focus on getting fit.
It is important that it is the decision of the rider to train and if they are tired or under the weather it is probably better to not go out.
Traffic on the road is somethin that is a fact of life. Bikes are statistically very safe but the aim is to adopt an approach that is both safe and sustainable. I had some risky episodes with my son who had a habit of running wide on bends when he became tired. This was something that had to be addressed and was addressed.
Confidence when riding on the same roads as cars and trucks is also important. 99.9% of drivers do not want to deal with the consequences of any collision and will take care. It is also up to the cyclist to take care by not attempting to squeeze between trucks at junctions. In London there have been a number of fatal incidents where cyclists have ignored this advice.
Conrol of the bike is critical in every aspect of cycling. If you cycle down country lanes with others it is important to stay on the right side of the road and not collide with any other cyclists you are traveling with. This will be a challenge in the first instance and if you are with a club it will prove to be an energy sapping exercise if you have to keep closing gaps. On these runs you will also internalise the concept of slipstreaming or as some people call it “drafting”. This is an important skill when nit comes to racing so the sooner it is understood the better. In the first instance it is likely that there will be a parent on the run. If that is the case they will probably not be able to keep pace with the level of improvement of the youth rider and will eventually get dropped behind!!! A club is a great place to develop control and basic fitness.

A Los Angeles Superior Court commissioner today awarded Heather Peters $US9867 ($A9186). Ms Peters opted out of a class-action lawsuit so she could try to claim a higher payment for the failure of her Civic to deliver the 50 miles per gallon (21.26km per litre) that was promised when she bought it. Informed of the decision by The Associated Press, Ms Peters exulted, “Wow! Fantastic.” “I am absolutely thrilled. Sometimes big justice comes in small packages,” she said. “This is a victory for Honda Civic orders everywhere.” Ms Peters, a former lawyer, hoped to inspire a flood of such lawsuits by the other 200,000 owners of the Hybrid Honda Civic model sold in 2006.
She said that if all 200,000 owners of the cars sued and won in small claims cost, it could Honda Motor Co $US2 billion. The upside of small claims court is that there are no attorneys’ fees and cases are decided quickly. Individual payments are far greater than in class-action cases. Legal experts had said it was unlikely that all owners would take the small claims route because of the time and energy involved in pursuing such lawsuits. But it was a unique approach that could have an impact. Superior Court Commissioner Douglas Carnahan held two hearings on the claim in January. The company said Ms Peters was not deceived. A judge in San Diego County is due to rule in March on whether to approve Honda’s class-action settlement. Members of the class have until February 11 to accept or decline the deal. Attorneys aren’t usually there; in California, litigants aren’t allowed to have lawyers argue their case. The limit for small claims damages in California is $US10,000.

Baby Boomers, Life Support and Trading Down, however, seem like good markets.
锘緽aby Boomers are Technologically Savvy
– [quote=”litekepr”:1zse5djs]Boomers participate in viral or word-of-mouth marketing as much as or more than younger age groups. 93% of Boomers are very or somewhat likely to share product information or news with friends.
As for Green technology goes, I don’t think the business has to be entirely based on Green ideologies, but rather a business that embrace Green philosophies and use that as a marketing tool.
As Knight reports, although these results aren’t earth-shattering, they do point to the fact that marketers should include this group in their online advertising efforts for sure. And, mobile marketers should also take note of this trend — there are lots of Boomers who actually use their wireless phones for more than staying in touch with the kids and grandkids. This is certainly a departure from the thinking that it’s only the skate-boarding, extreme sports kids who use their mobile devices for downloading videos and music. Boomers are using these devices for email, news and driving directions.
There is a new study out about the Baby Boomer Generation (one that’s near and dear to me for obvious reasons), and it reports that direct marketers better not try to reach us using our parents’ technology. HA! I feel like such a rebel! Apparently, we Boomers are branching out and adopting newer technology to do all kinds of things — including shopping, researching products and services, and receiving advertising messages.
In a recent article from BizReport, author Kristina Knight reports that “Baby Boomers said they are spending less time each week reading books and newspapers than they were six months ago. At the same time, the group says they are spending more time on their computers and using their cell phones. Listening to music, watching television and using the Internet have remained at a steady consumption rate.” This is important to us because the Baby Boomers are still the largest generation alive today — and the age range is wide enough to impact lots of different purchasing decisions (generational experts put Boomers at between approximately 43 – 61 years of age).
As we’ve posted about before, it is really important to keep all of the six generations alive today in mind when creating your marketing strategy. And, as this study points out, we need to also keep a finger on the pulse of generational evolution and how each generation prefers to be communicated with over time. : )

锘緽lu Ray Movie Store For You
Blu ray is the modern buzzword. Fast surpassing the popularity of DVDs, this new format has taken everything by storm. Last week I ordered a couple of movies, and I have to say I was pleasantly astonished. I was not keen at first, but I still decided to give it a go. All thanks to my friend, who suggested this web site, I can now buy blu ray movies cheap. What’s more, the purchase price tag doesn’t seem to reflect on the quality of the picture and sound, which is excellent. Although I admit, I was apprehensive, at first, when I saw the web site offer a discount of more than fifty percent on most titles; I was actually amazed at the end result. Truly affordable price!!
But it isn’t just the purchase price or quality, that serves as eye catcher, the amazing collection that they provide, is another amazing aspect. With over twenty thousand titles to choose from, you may be assured that you would never find yourself running out of choice.
So, now I just have to pay $15.99 for a blu ray Two-Disc Edition of the movie Inception, against the List Price of $35.99 (a discount of 56%), or only $7.49, against a listing price of $29.99, for a Toy Story 3 blu ray (a whopping discount of 75%). In fact, I now feel disappointed at all the money that I could have saved, if I had knowledge about this web site before. Nevertheless, it is better late than never.

With views of Bee Creek, portions of the Black-Capped Vireo Preserve, and extensive interpretive information, plan on spending the better part of an afternoon on this hike. The Wild Basin Wilderness Preserve began as the bicentennial project of seven women who were members of the environmental group Now or Never. They originally attempted (unsuccessfully) to lobby the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department to make the area a state park. They were eventually able to acquire money through fund-raising, private donations, and matching grants to purchase the area and set it aside as a safe haven for local plant and wildlife. The area opened to the public in the early 1980s for use as an outdoor classroom and educational area.

I wanted to start a thread on the advantage/disadvantages/caveats of a long term writing project. I just recently started my first one (I mean really recent, I’ve only sold 2, and just finished my second package of articles). So I thought I would share what I’ve learned a little bit and open it up to other writers who more frequently do this type of work and see if they are willing to share any of their experiences.
Celeste’s point about a project taking up all your time is a big consideration though. You have to be compensated well enough that it won’t matter whether or not you can work on other things.
In the future, I will probably negotiate a small “first edition” price of the first 1-3 installments, so that the customer can see the quality of my work, and then seek a slightly higher commission once both of us have a better understanding and comfort level with the work project. Remember, many customers are completely ignorant of how much time and effort just the simplest writing assignment can take, so small increases in work to them might mean large amounts of time required by you. Plus, I think I would be in a stronger bargaining position once the quality of my work has spoken for itself, and the customer “wants” my work. It’s alot harder to negotiate when you are an “unknown” to the customer.
I’ve had a long-term project going since late summer and I’ve thought long and hard about it too. Part of the criteria for getting the gig was a willingness to bargain with the price–offer a discount since he would be buying so many articles. Basically, I’ve only dropped the price by $5 to $10 per article. Having done MANY, I feel like it was a good deal for both of us. I’m guaranteed work and sales and it’s not so much work that it distracts me from other projects.
I think the key is just assessing all these factors. I have come across projects that simply weren’t worth it to me given the payment and amount of time needed to do the work. Sometimes it’s simply a matter of not liking the topic and not wanting to commit to the project.
This happened to a friend of mine. She was writing long articles that required a ton of research and was selling them for a ridiculous price. This same customer was paying me $60-$70 an article for the same type of assignments – she was charging him $20 and less. Needless to say, I stopped getting assignments and she got buried. Suddenly, she could no longer get anything else done and wasn’t being rewarded for her hard work. She was making less than minimum wage and busting her butt after putting in a full 40 hour work week at her real job. I’d point out decent requests to her that she might try and she simply couldn’t do it even though the requests were more profitable. The customer was getting a steal of a deal and she was getting burnt out and very little compensation for her time. (Plus, I lost a client that I enjoyed working with but c’est la vie).
You have to be careful when you price your private requests too low because as a private request, it needs to have priority over all else. If you’re doing dozens of articles for a particular customer and have little time for other endeavors, it could end up costing you more profitable jobs in the long run.
I guess you just have to judge each project on its own merit. Celeste is right about rejecting low-paying projects that monopolize all your writing time. I would avoid these too. But many of the projects that come around are not so involved and can help you build up your stats, gain experience, and, hopefully, make decent money. There’s “giving someone a deal” and then there’s “getting taken.” When negotiating money, I try to get right to the point. This isn’t a flea market or garage sale so I’m only willing to bargain so much. It has to be a fair wage for a good work. I just tell the client what I’m willing to work for (in as diplomatic a way as I can) and then I just wait to see. If you go too low, you can wind up resenting the project and wishing yourself out of it. But, if you can work for a couple dollars cheaper per article, then you also have the knowledge that your work will be sold and you will earn decent money.
When I negotiate a commissioned project, I always include a kill fee clause.
I make the scope of work clear up front and include one rewrite. Any changes must be negotiated in addition to the original fee.
One thing I think I can add to this discussion regards making sure you get paid for your work. I’m sure you all know what a ‘kill fee’ is, yet I haven’t seen it used much in the Internet market. I’m not sure it can be done in the current CC model, but I think it’s worth considering for private requests.
锘縇ong Term Writing Projects Discussion
Alternatively, if you give a deeper discount, be sure to renegotiate if the scope of work changes to become more intense. When the nature of the work changed a little for me (adding links, and submitting multiple versions of the same content in different formats) I added a small flat fee for the increase in work. It was nominal, and about 15% of the agreed upon fee because I rationalized it was taking me about 15% more time to complete the work.
I have turned down requests because I couldn’t afford to go as low as they needed me to go. I do have a bit of luxury there in that I have regular clients who keep me busy. I’m at the point where I can be more selective in what type of assignments I take.
I really appreciate this discussion because, while I am moderately successful outside the Internet, I haven’t been able to break through online. It’s a different animal and I keep wanting to write and price the way I do in my own market.
I priced mine in such a way to keep myself motivated to write articles that I enjoy. For me, writing is currently a lucrative hobby. I am working on making it my profession, but even then it will be a part-time endeavor because my family comes first, and thankfully we don’t need me to work. I am looking to write about 3-4 days a week.
I’ve asked myself, would I still want this project if my personal life was less chaotic. The answer is YES. If I were my old self, I’d whip these out and then some. It is nice to know that I should have no trouble meeting the payment threshold and the project is not overly difficult.
Also, I find it easier to include the customer more on subject content than what I would for a normal one-off article request. By keeping constant communication back and forth, and encouraging the customer to give guidance and input into the content, you are including them in the creation process. I also hope this will limit any of my private requests languishing in the ready to buy category for very long. I always fear I will write something specialized, and then the private requester doesn’t buy it, and it isn’t really resellable.
Price negotiation is very important, and it is difficult to not sell yourself short. If you are pricing per article, I wouldn’t recommend taking more than 10-15% off your normal price for content that is routine or single type articles. It is tempting to go really low, in hopes of keeping the writing job.
I think the hardest thing for me still is getting used to the gap between finishing an article and selling it. I know I don’t need the money, it’s just that I want the personal satisfaction that my hard work had value. As the time goes by, it’s harder and harder for me not to impulsively lower the prices on the article. This is dangerous, because as time goes by, I forget how much time and effort went into certain articles, again selling myself short. Vain, I know, but it’s me.
Those are just a few of my thoughts so far on my experience working in a long term writing project set of parameters than just a one or two article request situation. I don’t profess to be an expert, far, far from it. If any of you have experience in long term assignments, please let me know if your experience has differed, or if you have other caveats and experiences to share. Thanks!
Once the client gives me the go-ahead the project is subject to a fee regardless whether he buys or not. If he cancels before I deliver the draft, I charge about 30 percent. If I deliver the draft and he cancels for any reason other than valid dissatisfaction, I charge my full fee.
That’s a good point JA. I would most definitely say to not price your work lower that one month’s of work still won’t qualify you for the monthly minimum. I kept that in mind too when I was pricing, except I was a little evil to myself. I priced the basic work just under the monthly minimum, so that I HAVE to sell at least one other outside article in addition to this gig in order to make the monthly minimum. Now that this requester has added additional work, that will keep me busy in addition to the one article or blog set per week, making the minimum threshold for payment shouldn’t be a problem for me for awhile.
Also, private requesters usually have already worked with you and have seen the quality of work. Occasionally, you might get a private request through an open call (first one gets the job type of thing) where you’ll need to prove yourself but in most cases, the client has already purchased several of your articles and likes what they see. This gives you some bargaining power. Other times, a customer will tell you what they’re willing to pay.
I’ve also considered the state of my life–difficult pregnancy and a regular job. For me, for the past several months, this particular job was all I could reasonably handle and still provide quality work. That means a lot when you’re trying to keep your hand in and continue to sell.
Just remember you control your time and pricing. You don’t HAVE to accept any project you don’t want to. On the other hand, I’ve been very happy with all the private requests I’ve gotten and I’ve only turned down one (which proved to be dumb move on my part, but you learn as you go!). Good luck. Just weigh all the options/factors carefully and all should go well. JA
But there are other factors to consider. For instance, when we go by a strict word count pricing strategy, we may forget how much time is spent researching a given topic. The research is essential and you really have to assess how much time will be swallowed up in that department. In my case, there is considerable research, but it’s straight forward and the writing is not terrible difficult.

锘縈etal Allergy and Living Nickel Free
Did you know that nickel allergy is one of the most common substances to cause an allergic skin reaction? But how does metal enter the body? What is it that the body does that causes such a problem? This article will explain the process of metal allergy with a specific focus on nickel allergy.
We humans are sensitive creatures. Almost any substance we come in contact with can cause us to have an allergic reaction and we are all allergic to different things. Learning what you might be allergic to involves paying close attention to your body. How the metal gets into the body and what the body does that creates such a problem. We will start with what the body does by presenting a simplified explanation of the allergic response:Your skin comes in contact with many substances. A substance can be solid or liquid, man made or natural, dangerous or harmless, hard or soft. Every time a substance contacts your skin there is the chance it will enter the body through the skin cells. Once this happens your body must decide if it is under attack and mount a defense. This defense is known as an allergic reaction. When the body detects an invasion it converts ordinary white blood cells into the dreaded Macrophage, the ultimate warrior cell. This cell is a doomsday device and only does one thing; it destroys everything it contacts, including the body itself, in an effort to ensure the destruction of the foreign invader. This destruction of human cells, or collateral damage, is what makes an allergic reaction dangerous. But how does the metal get into the body to cause this allergic reaction? This is the other process that must be understood:Most people think of metal as being impervious and rigid. It is actually quite destructible. Heat can turn metal molten and acid can melt it. Many things can react with metal because metal is not really as solid as it seems. One substance that can have a powerful reaction with metal is water. We are covered with a thin layer of sweat and oil. Sweat contains water, and not just plain water, salt water! The human skin is actually quite moist and is reacting with every bit of metal it comes in contact with; jewelry, belt buckles, watchbands, earrings, the list goes on and on. As your sweat dissolves and corrodes the metal this moist concoction reacts with your skin cells. It is absorbed by the skin and if your body does not like it, your body’s defense mechanism will react by fighting the invader. Suddenly, the area of contact turns red and begins to swell. Depending on the strength of the allergic reaction the skin can start to blister and large open wounds can develop as the macrophages destroy tissue. In fact, the reaction caused by poison ivy and the reaction caused by the metal are no different. For instance, nickel is by far the most common cause of metal allergy, yet it is an extremely useful metal and is used in almost everything we touch. In fact, nickel allergy is on the rise. Nickel is melted with soft metals, like gold and silver, to make them more durable and useful for jewelry. Nickel makes dull metals shiny so many belt buckles and watches use nickel for this purpose.
