Taking care of plumbing is something most homeowners feel uncertain about. Plumbing problems should be taken care of immediately by a professional plumber who has plenty of plumbing experience. Plumbing problems can seem simple in appearance, but can cause considerable damage if left unattended. While you may worry about the fee for a quality plumber Milton Keynes, the cost of not using one when needed can get very expensive, very quickly. That said, you can take precautions to keep your plumbing system in working order. A little regular maintenance could save you thousands of dollars in repair and clean up fees that can result from water damage.

The single most important thing you can do to avoid plumbing troubles is winterizing your plumbing system. Start by draining and disconnecting every garden hose on the exterior of your home before winter sets in. Once you've done so, insulate these outdoor faucets to protect them. Taking these steps is imperative because water left in these pipes during the winter can freeze and expand. The resulting pressure can cause pipes to crack or even burst. Avoid this circumstance, as well as having to call and pay for a plumber Milton Keynes, by routinely draining your pipes every year.

If you happen to have an irrigation system, you will need to winterize it as well. Do so by shutting off the water where it flows into the system. You then need to drain all the water from the pipes. Once again, this will avoid water freezing in the pipes and causing them to burst, which can result in costly repairs. If you have any questions or confusion about shutting off the water or draining the pipes, call a trusted plumber Milton Keynes who will gladly come and assist you. Once you have been shown how to do it once, you can take care of it yourself every year afterwards.

The final recommendation for winterizing your home plumbing system is to make sure that pipes are insulated properly. Doing so will ensure that they will not freeze when exposed to cold winter temperatures. The procedure for doing so is easy and inexpensive. You can do this yourself for exposed plumbing using foam tubing. Exposed pipes are typically at the greatest risk of freezing. Taking the extra step to have foam tubing installed on pipes throughout your plumbing system by a professional plumber Milton Keynes would be a worthwhile investment.

The Intouchables | Movie Reviews | Kelly Vance | East Bay Express

It's easy to make a cynical diagram of Olivier Nakache and Eric Toledano's The Intouchables: Take the basic premise of Driving Miss Daisy and move it to contemporary Paris. Change Miss Daisy into a rich, quadriplegic white man. Turn her faithful driver into a tough young African-immigrant ex-con from the housing projects. Voila! Instant schmaltz.

But that would mean throwing away the grace notes and character phrasing, the comic timing, the little touches that can't be schematized, the things that give The Intouchables, predictable and corny as it might be, its zest. Never mind that the 2011 heart-tugger was a runaway smash hit in France ? let's appreciate it on its own terms.

Driss (played by Omar Sy), an athletic Senegalese native who hustles on the streets to support his extended family, shows up for the employment interview ? personal assistant to a disabled man ? with a chip on his shoulder, as if he doesn't want the job. He's in a hurry to have his application signed so he can show it to the welfare official as proof of effort. Something about his attitude impresses Philippe (Fran?ois Cluzet), the patient in question. Fabulously wealthy Philippe hurt himself paragliding in the mountains and is now paralyzed from the neck down. The person who cares for him has to do everything from bathing and feeding him to driving him around. Once the reluctant Driss gets a load of his opulent new quarters in Philippe's mansion, he figures he'll string along for awhile and see what happens.

Of course, we already know what will happen. The Intouchables has taken a certain amount of flak over its use of the "magic negro" formula, with some justification. Driss, who thinks of himself as pragmatic, needs someone like Philippe to open him up to things like fine art (Driss tries his hand at action painting), European classical music (to Driss, "Berlioz" is the name of a housing block in the projects), and expensive suits. All he needs is a tiny break. Remember Eddie Murphy in Trading Places? Poor millionaire Philippe requires more work. His mind is sharp but his useless body inhibits him. He's afraid to show himself to his female pen pal for fear of rejection. What better vicarious antidote for his shyness than street-smart Driss, who's unfazed by Philippe's snooty circle and doesn't hesitate to beat up that guy who always parks in Philippe's handicapped parking space? And what better cure for Philippe's "phantom pains" than a little weed and a midnight city stroll? Beaucoup de physical humor.

Actor Cluzet ('Round Midnight) is the ideal light leading man to portray Philippe, almost more of an ideal than a character. The true star of the show is Sy, a 34-year-old Frenchman who played a variety of comedic roles in things like Micmacs before landing this showboat of a part. He won a Best Actor C?sar (the French Oscar) for it, beating out Jean Dujardin in The Artist.

Driss is so visibly wowed by his good luck that it naturally makes us beam along with him. He knows how to live and brings joy into Philippe's lonely life. Awww. The story happens to be true, based on the real-life situation of Philippe Pozzo di Borgo and his caregiver Abdel Sellou. Filmmakers Nakache and Toledano fill in the stock types with precisely the right personalities and everything clicks. France is still wrestling with its racial politics, and The Intouchables is obviously a stepping-stone. In the best of all possible worlds, Driss might just as easily be the rich invalid, but in the meantime he's the best friend money can buy.

Europe worries stalk Wall Street; Dow loses 161

Fearing a financial rupture in Europe, investors around the world fled from risk Wednesday. They punished stocks and the euro and flocked to bonds, driving the yield on the benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury note to its lowest point since World War II.

In the United States, where concerns about Europe have already wiped out most of the strong gain that stocks had from January through March, major averages fell more than 1 percent. The Dow Jones industrial average closed down 161 points.

With Spain's banking system teetering and Greece's political future unclear ahead of crucial elections next month, European stocks lost even more. The euro dropped below $1.24, to its lowest point since the summer of 2010.

"Everyone's just afraid that if Europe doesn't get its act together, there will be a big spillover in the U.S.," said Peter Tchir, manager of the hedge fund TF Market Advisors.

He said the uncertainty in Europe was reminiscent of the financial crisis in the fall of 2008, when it was briefly unclear in the United States whether banks would be bailed out and "we had these giant swings up and down."

Wall Street, which woke up to increased anxiety over higher Spanish borrowing rates, was down from the opening bell.

The Dow closed down 160.83 points, or 1.3 percent, at 12,419.86. The Dow has had a miserable May, losing more than 6 percent, and is on track for its first losing month since September.

The Standard & Poor's 500 index lost 19.10 points to 1,313.32. The Nasdaq composite index fell 33.63 to 2,837.36. Energy stocks were hit hardest because of a big drop in the price of oil, but stocks in all major industries fell.

The trigger for Wednesday's sell-off was Spain, where the banking system is under strain a week after its fourth-largest bank required $23.8 billion in government aid to cover souring real estate loans.

Investors are increasingly worried that problems at the bank, Bankia, might recur at other Spanish banks. Many lent heavily during the nation's real estate bubble. Losses from the real estate crash might be too big for Spain's government to shoulder.

On Wednesday, borrowing rates rose sharply for Spain and Italy, which are seen as the latest problem cases in a debt crisis that has rocked global markets for more than two years. Traders dumped bonds issued by those governments.

The yield on Spain's 10-year bonds, a key indicator of market confidence in the country's ability to continue to make payments on its debt, shot as high as 6.69 percent, the highest since the euro currency was launched in 2002.

Intense demand for low-risk, easily tradable securities led investors to buy U.S. government debt. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note plunged to 1.61 percent from 1.74 percent late Tuesday.

Wednesday's yield appeared to be the lowest since 1945, said Bill O'Donnell, head of U.S. Treasury strategy at the Royal Bank of Scotland, citing data from the European Central Bank and other sources.

Federal Reserve daily records only go back to 1962, and those reflect a previous record of 1.70 percent, set May 17.

"There's just a massive flight to safe-haven assets today," O'Donnell said.

He characterized the rush into U.S. bonds by citing a well-known, unsavory analogy made by Richard Fisher, the head of the Federal Reserve's Dallas bank: "The U.S. is the prettiest horse in the glue factory."

Yields on German government bonds, also seen as safe, turned lower, too.

Concern about Europe was everywhere: The European Commission said consumer confidence fell sharply across the region last month. Spaniards withdrew money from their banks, a trend that could force more banks to demand government aid.

Fear also spread about the Spanish government's ability to go on without itself being bailed out. Spain's main stock index closed down 2.6 percent.

An opinion poll in Greece showed that the far-left Syriza party is gaining support ahead of elections June 17. Syriza opposes the system of bailouts and sharp budget cuts that have kept Greece afloat but also gutted its economy.

If the party wins, Greece may be forced to exit the euro currency. Uncertainty about the future of the currency union would likely boost borrowing costs across the region, threatening nations that have received bailouts, like Portugal, and those that might need them, like Italy.

Until the Greek elections next month, things will be too uncertain for the U.S. market to sustain a meaningful rally, said David Kelly, chief market strategist at J.P. Morgan Funds.

If Greece's leaders allow the bailouts to continue and European governments start spending to spur growth, Kelly expects the market eventually to rise. If Syriza wins and Greece is expelled from the euro, he expects a volatile market for months.

Amid the tumult, the European Commission called on the 17 countries that use the currency to create a "banking union" that can centrally oversee and, if needed, bail out national banks.

If Europe's financial crisis plunges it into a deep recession, global economic growth will likely falter, reducing demand for commodities and machines that power growth.

Fearing that outcome, traders pushed the stocks of heavy equipment maker Caterpillar and aluminum company Alcoa to among the biggest declines of the 30 companies that make up the Dow.

The euro fell as low as $1.2360, the lowest since the summer of 2010. Benchmark stock indexes closed down 2.2 percent in France and 1.8 percent in Italy and Germany.

When banks and big investors get frightened, they sell stocks of all countries and the bonds of countries in trouble. They buy Japanese yen, German bonds and especially U.S. Treasurys.

Such purchases are not about turning a profit, said O'Donnell of RBS. That's why German government two-year notes are paying zero percent: People are simply handing their money over for safekeeping.

The U.S. Treasury market is still considered one of the safest places in the world to stash billions in a hurry. At $11 trillion, no other market is as large, so there's always somebody ready to buy or sell Treasurys.

"When people just want to get their money back, there's not a lot of competition," O'Donnell said.

Food and energy commodities fell sharply. Crude oil lost more than $3 to below $88 a barrel. Crude has been falling steadily since the beginning of May, when it traded as high as $106 a barrel.

Kelly, of J.P. Morgan Funds, said investors should remember that the U.S. is on firmer economic footing than Europe, and make sure their portfolios could withstand a market rally or a downturn, because both outcomes look possible.

"Things could be much better, or much worse, than the markets have priced in," Kelly said. "The only logical investment strategy is to be balanced ? to get to the middle of the boat."

Among U.S. stocks making moves:

? Monsanto, the agricultural company, was one of the few big gainers in a sea of red. It jumped 2.2 percent after its CEO said this year's earnings will likely surge 25 percent, far more than Wall Street had been expecting. Sales were strong in its seed and chemicals business, including Roundup herbicides.

? Research in Motion, maker of the BlackBerry, plunged 7.1 percent after the company said late Tuesday it had hired a team of bankers to help it weigh its options ? Wall Street jargon for a possible sale or reorganization. RIM's business has been crumbling as smartphone users move to iPhone and Android devices.

As China slows, factories in the US fret

Carlos Barria / Reuters

A laborer works at a shipyard in Yueqing City, Zhejiang province in this March 27, 2012 file photo.

By John W. Schoen, Senior Producer

An emerging renaissance in American manufacturing is staring at the oncoming threat of a global economic slowdown.

After investing hundreds of thousands of dollars in high tech equipment last year, Drew Greenblatt?s manufacturing business is beginning to see a return on that investment. Business was up 20 percent in 2011 at Marlin Steel, which makes wire baskets for industrial customers.

Exports are helping a lot. Greenblatt?s company just shipped to China a $20,000 order?made at his Baltimore, Md., factory with steel supplied by a mill in Illinois.

Low wages and low-cost manufacturing used to make Chinese markets tough?for U.S. manufacturers to break into. Today, rising wages in China are giving American companies?second thoughts about moving their manufacturing jobs to China,?Greenblatt said.

?All of a sudden, if your math says, ?I?ve got to pay the guy $7.50 an hour in Shanghai or I can hire a guy for $12 a hour in Canton, Ohio,? why would I do it in Shanghai?? said Greenblatt. ?I?ve got intellectual property issues over there, there?s no rule of law, there?s a lot of corruption. ?Plus if I make it here, I get the stuff six weeks faster: there?s no freight. So a lot of the reasons to push jobs overseas are starting to fall apart.?

Other companies are doing the same math. A report in March by the Boston Consulting Group found seven industry groups,?selling about $200 billion in Chinese-made imports, that will likely shift production back to the U.S. to duck rising costs in China. That could add between $20 billion to $55 billion to U.S. gross domestic product before the end of the decade, the authors estimated.

U.S. export gains in Chinese and other global markets will create between two million and three million?American jobs, lower the U.S. unemployment rate by between 1.5?to 2.0 percentage points?and cut the U.S. merchandise trade deficit by 25 to 35 percent, according to the study.

Demand for Chinese exports, meanwhile, is being hurt by the ongoing recession in Europe, China?s largest trading partner. The hit to China?s exports so far has been relatively mild compared to the sharp downturn that followed the financial panic of 2008, according to Carl Weinberg, chief economist at High Frequency Economics. Lost exports amount to about $300 billion - about half the losses from the 2008 downturn ? and the Chinese economy is better able to weather the loss because its large and its currency is stronger than in 2008, he said. But he figures the drop in exports hasn?t run its course and could get a lot worse.

The slowdown in China is also starting to take a bite out of the economies of smaller, emerging economies and trading partners that supply the raw materials needed to feed China?s export machine.

?Asia should be very worried if the European situation continues to unravel," said?Rob Subbaraman, chief Asia economist, at Nomura Group. ??It can handle moderate growth in Europe or the U.S. But if we start to move toward a deep recession there?s a tipping point where Asia gets hit very hard again.?

Dads, are you feeling pressure to do it all?

To be sure, China?s economy is still growing at a pace that would feel like wild prosperity in larger developed economies like the U.S. or Europe. But as the last major engine of growth, some forecasters are cautioning that the loss of Chinese demand threatens to spark a wider global slowdown that will crimp demand for U.S.-made products.

U.S. manufacturers are ?about to face a negative shock from the hit to exports from the deepening European downturn and the spreading impact on demand in other key trading partners in Asia,? said David Rosenberg, chief economist at Gluskin Sheff.

One big unknown is whether Chinese consumers will pick up the slack from the lost growth in exports. China continues to pursue an ambitious, 30-year plan to transform itself from a rural agrarian society to an urbanized manufacturing and consumer-driven economy. The ongoing flood of workers from farms to factories -- the largest peace-time migration in human history -- will continue to drive demand for new housing, cars and other consumer products.

But in the short-run, consumer spending isn?t kicking in fast enough. Retail sales, adjusted for inflation, are slowing. As the government continues to invest heavily in public products and state-owned businesses, consumer spending makes up a smaller portion of the economy than it did five years ago. More than 50 percent of the Chinese economy still relies on some form of government spending: consumers account for roughly a third of GDP ? about half the level in the U.S.

To revive growth, China?s leaders are expected to continue heavy government investment. After years of trade surpluses with the rest of the world, the government has plenty of cash to invest. But the risk now is that the government is creating a massive infrastructure and real estate bubble.

?They have been overbuilding everything to create jobs for these rural migrants,? said Harry Dent, an author and economic forecaster. ?They have 20 to 30 percent more capacity built in their main industries ?- cement, aluminum, steel, on and on. They just build stuff to create jobs? and to keep people happy. And they?ve been doing this for over a decade.?

China?s central bankers also face a difficult choice in trying to stimulate growth. The usual path of lowering interest rates could add heat to a real estate market that has already reached bubble levels in many urban areas. China?s bankers are also coping with a pile of bad loans to failing state-owned companies after an earlier round of easy credit aimed at heading off the 2008 recession.

That means easier credit may not produce the economic stimulus China?s leaders are hoping for.

?The positive, long-run outlook doesn?t give firms an incentive to invest today if China largely has all the apartments and car production lines it needs for the next couple of years,? said Mark Williams, chief Asia economist at Capital Economics.

It remains to be seen how badly U.S. manufacturers would be hurt by a wider, deeper coordinated global slowdown. Once recessions spread around the world, they become more difficult to reverse.

Greenblatt is upbeat. He sees an opportunity in export markets as competitors pull back. He also thinks the U.S. is somewhat insulated from a trade shock. Only about 10 percent of U.S. GDP comes from exports compared to the economies of China or Germany, where nearly a third of total output relies on exports.

Discussing whether China's economy could be on the brink of collapse, with Gordon Chang, Forbes columnist, and Peter Navarro, UC-Irvine business professor.

?Most American factories don?t even consider exporting -- it doesn?t even cross their mind,? he said. ?Because it?s easier sell to Denver and Duluth than it is to Denmark.?

But Dent argues that the wider cause of the global economic slowdown -- a historic shift in demographics -- will continue to weigh on global growth for another decade or so no matter how hard governments try to spur more growth.

Most developed countries are seeing their Baby Boom population peak, which slows consumer spending and adds to the cost of government-funded social programs. ?That means global growth won?t revive to historic levels for another decade, until the next generation of Millennials reaches its own peak spending years, said Dent.

?Were all slowing down,? he said. ?And China does not have good demographics going forward. They only have this export machine and urbanization and they?ve overdone both.?

Vitamin Supplements for Older Women : Ideas For Women Health ...

Vitamin supplements can be a touchy subject and very controversial. If you are taking in your vitamins in a healthy diet rich in green veggies, lean meats, and dairy products you may not need a supplement for daily vitamins. However, how many women at any age eat a completely healthy diet? Most physicians recommend a complete multi-vitamin.

Daily multi-vitamins can be confusing too as there are those labels that indicate one vitamin for menopausal women, one for younger women, one for heart, one for vision, etc. It can be hard to decide which one is the correct one for you. It can also be confusing to know if you should add an additional vitamin supplement.

Women over 50 need a multivitamin that includes the B vitamins. If you are taking a multi-vitamin with the B complex vitamins included, you probably do not need an additional vitamin B supplement. Your body will only use what it needs and excrete the rest. An overdose of vitamin B can also cause nerve pain and irritability. Vitamins are one of the positive proofs that one is good two is NOT?better.? You can take too many vitamins.

One supplement that may be good to add is Luten. If your multivitamin does not contain Luten and many don?t, consider taking this supplement every day for improved eye health. As we age, eyes need special nutrients and Luten has proven to show significant influence in eye health especially in preventing or maintaining eyes with macular degeneration.

The key is to discuss your vitamin supplements with your physician and to read the labels to know what you are taking. Look at the percent of each nutrient the vitamin is giving you. Take only as prescribed on the label, one a day is usually the daily dose. And continue to eat a healthy diet rich in natural vitamins and minerals. Women over 50 need to maintain and can still improve their health status and vitamins can be helpful in this goal.

Internet Reputation Management ? Business search engine blog ...

It takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it,?
Warren Buffet, American Businessman and Philanthropist.

Internet is a great scientific invention that aids business to grow, expand and communicate with its clients and customers. But like all inventions, it has a flip side: it can provide anonymity and opportunity to anyone who wishes to malign your reputation. A tarnished reputation not only costs a company its name and respect, but its business opportunities are also badly affected.

Internet Reputation Management Problems

Reputation of any person or company is mostly hampered in three different ways. They are as follows:

A government regulatory body or a journalist has posted something negative about you or your company. This type of negative posting is generally done with no malice or intent to damage. They just post general information which is regularly updated.
A wronged person, who has been caused personal damage by a company?s products or services. This category of people generally vent their anger and cause short term damage.
A vengeful person, whose sole mission is to ?get at you?, by attacking your reputation, causes the most damage, because it?s fueled by anger and jealousy. How is Negative Reputation Managed

Negative reviews and inaccurate content generate negative publicity, which in turn leads to negative listings of your company. To counter the growth of this kind of negative publicity, Internet Reputation Management, sometimes also known as Search Engine Reputation Management (SERM) has been developed.

A series of search engine optimization (SEO) tools are designed, to make the negative publicity generating websites fall in their search engine rankings. These sites are pushed back to distant search result pages, making them almost invisible.

Positive publicity generating websites are optimized to rise in Internet search engine rankings. New content, like social networking sites, blogs and web pages are also developed to counter negative publicity, and then these newly developed sites are made to appear, relevant to the concerned company?s search terms and listings. This is done over a substantial period of time, until negative listings drop out of search engine listings.

Internet Reputation Management Tools

Internet reputation management tools and techniques followed to restore a company?s search listings include the ones given below.

Search Engine Reputation Management (SERM): SERM uses two tools to dilute negative publicity, namely, search engine marketing and search engine optimization. Both these tools apply damage control techniques, to restore corporate identities and reputations on the Internet.

Search Engine Marketing (SEM): The primary goal of search engine marketing is to build and manage brands, website promotions, market or keyword research, generating client specific or brand specific content and to increase web traffic to generate business.

On-line Identity Management (OIM): This technique refers to on-line personal branding and is done through identity exposure, using social network services and participation in social media sites like Facebook, Orkut, Flickr, Twitter, etc. The main objective of on-line identity management is to get high search rankings for as many sites as possible, when someone searches for a particular person?s name and his or her reference while browsing the Internet. As obvious in the above explanation, this technique is specifically used to restore an individual?s image and reputation.

Social Media Marketing (SMM) / Social Media Optimization (SMO): This services employs the concept of placing a company?s product or service and brand in front of the networking community, to improve its on-line business and reputation.

On-line Reputation Management (ORM): This service is meant for monitoring and protecting a brand, product or business across the Internet. ORM involves marketing and public relations along with search engine marketing, to raise awareness of the brand.

Internet Reputation Management uses SEO tools, not only for damage control, but also to position an individual?s or a company?s brand, product or service in higher search listings.

Jon Eig: The College Man's Film Guide

You feed them, shelter them, and try to teach them the relative societal value of Janis Joplin and Christine Aguilera. Then it's time for them to go off to college and you realize all the things you forgot to tell them. As we prepare to send my son off to school in a few short months, it hit me suddenly that if it doesn't involve pressing "Start" on the microwave, he can't cook food, and laundry to him is some magic trick that takes place in a part of the house with which he is mostly unfamiliar. So we have an agenda for the summer.

But what I feel most guilty about is not having provided him with the proper grounding in something that should have been easy for me. He just hasn't seen enough culturally significant movies to chat about with his future college classmates. I teach film, and yet he is woefully lacking in the basics. I'm not talking Welles and Godard here. I'm thinking of the core movies that every young man pursuing higher education in 2012 ought to be familiar with.

So as a public service for other parents who, like me, have been negligent, here's a brief filmography. Twenty-five films that ought to be in a young man's lexicon. I have confined myself to movies that came out before 2000, figuring that the young man may well already be familiar with the recent ones.

Horse Feathers (1932, though any early Marx Brothers movie will suffice): The most modern of all early comedy teams, the Paramount films in which they were the leads are the height of comic anarchy. This one centers on college football, so it seems most appropriate.

Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill! (1965): Moms, leave the room. Hyper violence and mythically-endowed women. And to make it less sexist than later versions of the same formula, it is the mythically-endowed women who are actually performing the hyper violence.

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly (1966): Clint Eastwood is very old now. He wasn't always. It took an Italian director, Sergio Leone, to make Westerns cool and Clint a star.

Five Easy Pieces (1970): Jack Nicholson wasn't always old either. Do not watch the diner scene before going to argue with a professor about a grade.

Pink Flamingoes (1972): Dads, join Mom in the other room. Before there was The Human Centipede, there was John Waters, who presented gross-out movies with a twinkle in his eye.

The Godfather (1972): The Magnum Opus. Your father's favorite movie.

Animal House (1978): The Comic Magnum Opus. Your father's other favorite movie.

Halloween (1978): Often imitated, never topped.

Life of Brian (1979): American audiences tend to favor Pythons' Holy Grail. Prove how international you are by favoring the one that the rest of the world prefers. Plus, it has the greatest closing number. You can't help but whistle.

Airplane! (1980): Abrahams/Zuckers were Judd Apatow before there was Judd Apatow. Hard to find anything funnier.

Caddyshack (1980): Depending on where and when you grew up, this might be the most quoted comedy of all time. So it has that going for it.

Diner (1982): The ultimate in male bonding.

Blade Runner (1982): See both original and director's cut so you can take part in the great film school/auteur debate.

Blue Velvet (1986): Top of the list material. Be prepared to argue with your girlfriend over this.

Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986): It's hard to imagine anyone made it through high school without having seen this, but just in case...

The Naked Gun (1988): If you don't like Airplane! you can skip it. But the other 98 percent will love it, especially convicted thief O. J. Simpson playing a cop.

Goodfellas (1990): The highs and lows of being a made man.

Reservoir Dogs (1992): Where Tarantino began. See it before Pulp Fiction.

Dazed and Confused (1993): Bid a fond farewell to high school. The '70's version of American Graffiti with an unrivaled '70s soundtrack.

Clerks (1994): Where Kevin Smith began. See it before Clerks 2. On second thought, skip Clerks 2.

The Usual Suspects (1995): The coolest of them all. Written by a guy in his 20s who didn't even go to college.

Trainspotting (1996): Just say no.

Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels (1998): You will spend some part of your college years pretending to be Jason Statham. Consider this homework.

The Big Lebowski (1998): You will have graduate teaching assistants in college. They will be quoting this movie. More homework.

Fight Club (1999): Quod erat demonstrandum.

That's my list. What have I forgotten? The Summer goes fast.

How To Get The Most When Buying Real Estate

Many new home buyers don?t give much thought to who the escrow company or agent, will be for closing. This person will be running you through hundreds and hundreds of pages of documents to explain and sign. Having someone who can explain this content, in a concise and correct way is very important, as well as having someone who can answer your tough questions. Get references from agents and friends and insist on being able to use the company and escrow agent of your choosing.

Protect your assets. It is important to make sure that your assets are protected; particularly those assets not directly connected to your investment properties. Always carry a comprehensive insurance policy on your properties and learn about other ways to protect yourself in the event of a lawsuit. Some options might include the establishment of a trust or a family-run LLC. Keep in mind that you will need to provide justification for your actions, so always consult a professional to find out what your safest option would be.

Buying a property on today?s market is a pretty wise thing to do. Property values are down so you are going to be able to get a great deal on a home that you would not have been able to afford a few years ago. Take advantage of the market and buy your dream home now.

When trying to decide what home to buy, consider the land that the home is on. If you find a house on a hill, will it have a view? Are there going to be a lot of steps to climb when carrying in your groceries? These are all things that you may not think of when viewing a home for the first time, but you need to be aware of any inconveniences. If you purchase the home, those inconveniences are yours.

If you plan on having more children, it is wise to buy a home with extra bedrooms. Many times, people do not take the fact that they may have more children into consideration when buying a home, and they do not end up having the space for their growing family.

Investigate alternative financing options. When you are considering financing options for investment properties, look into seller financing and other methods of alternative financing that might work well with your situation. Sometimes, this type of financing is more affordable and cost-effective than traditional financing methods. This should help you get better financing.

When you are picking a real estate agent, some questions you should ask deal with the commitment of the agent. If the agent is not full-time, then you have to doubt his/her commitment. If they have other jobs or are retired, then they are just looking to make a little income and probably don?t have a real commitment to their clients.

To maximize opportunities for success in real estate, it is important to market oneself online. Many people who are looking for a new house do so online, and relators who haven?t invested in a website that is easy to understand and navigate are at a strong disadvantage in today?s climate.

Buying a home that is up for auction is a great way to get a fabulous home for far less than what it is worth. It is a game of sorts that many investors play so it can be difficult for the average home buyer to win the auctions that are held.

As we mentioned in the opening, you will find a lot of properties out there when you?re a real estate buyer. It can be quite confusing and even quite daunting. The tips we provided above are designed to specifically help property-buyers make the best possible decision about their investment. Do not neglect to use them.

LEGEND Triple Aspect music review by Warthur

2 stars In principle, the idea of a fusion of neopagan folk music and Pendragon-inspired neo-prog (with a touch of Genesis and early Marillion here and there) sounds really good to me. Unfortunately, I find the execution as offered by Legend on Triple Aspect to lack something. Perhaps it's the lyrics, which are just as shallow, unimaginative and preachy as the more tiresome sort of Christian rock lyrics tend to be, or perhaps it's their delivery - vocalist Debbie Chapman has a decent but not exceptional singing voice which isn't helped by the somewhat muddled mix. Or possibly its a more general problem - the neo-prog-by-numbers musical backing, for instance, or the rather mediocre production job the album has. Either way, it just doesn't wow me - certainly not to the extent that I'm prepared to proclaim it an overlooked classic of the genre.

Warthur | 2/5 |
