When buying a home it’s always important to ensure everything is in order, and this especially comes true when dealing with the incidentals of buying a new home. On my website where we provide listings for homes for sale in the Brantford area, we get inquires on a regular basis asking us not only whether they can look at various homes for sale, but they also inquire as to what other incidentals, or, hidden costs they should save up for as well. It’s not as simple as saving up the money or obtaining a loan from the bank because during the whole process, unforeseen things will come up that will require you to dip into your saving or pocket book. It’s just the nature of the game and with that said, I’m going to list off […]

So you’re thinking of buying a house but before you do, you need to know a bit more pieces of important information besides finding the right real estate agent. Find a good real estate agent is one step to the game and can generally be an easy process especially if you rely on the word of friends and family but when the decision is made, the following 5 important tips should also be at the forefront of your buying process. Of course you have to go through the process of finding a decent realtor, getting pre-approved and the whole financial shebang, but this article tries to dig into the deeper matters for you – matters that if overlooked could become giant pitfalls – pitfalls that could have definitely been avoided. If you take and […]

Dentists are feared all over the world, by children and adults alike. Most people dread that visit to the dentist, and will only do so when it is absolutely necessary (after that agonizing toothache, or when a tooth falls out or gets broken during sports). Dental phobia is definitely a concern shared by millions of people, and some people will never undergo dental treatment unless they are first sedated. Therefore, if you have been dreading your child’s first visit to the dentist, you are in good company. It is also safe to assume that your child is not looking forward to that visit either, unless they are completely unaware of what goes on in a dentist’s office. Either way, there are certain things that you can do to make that first (or second, […]

No one likes bad breath; not you nor your friends and family. Preventing bad breath can be easy, even if it’s a chronic condition, and following the ten simple steps will help you defeat it. Bad breath, which is also medically referred to as halitosis, is a common dental problem that many people find embarrassing and overwhelming to deal with. If you visit any dental office or pharamcy, you’ll find lots of gum, mouth wash and toothpastes that promise to fight bad breath. For some who have tried all these products, the problem of halitosis just doesn’t go away or have a permanent effect on bad breath. The problem is most products that advertised to give you fresh breath only address the symptoms and not the actual cause of the problem. With that said, […]

You probably know the importance of brushing and flossing, but sadly, this is just not enough for you to maintain healthy teeth for a lifetime. If you plan on keeping your teeth healthy you’ll need to step up your game and find out ways to boost your oral hygiene. I’ve compiled a list of important dental health tips to get you started. Know your dental needs Everyone has a unique set of dental needs mainly because of different lifestyle habits. For instance, people who consume many drugs often experience issues such as dry mouth. There are others who are more prone to dental cavities. Pregnant women may also experience issues like gingivitis and inflammation whereas patients with asthma are more prone to plaque because they often breathe through their mouths. If you have braces, cleaning your […]

A friend of mine was inquiring not too long ago about EFT working as described by David Rourke. I explained to her that I’ve heard about EFT and that doing a little research into Rourke’s techniques might be in order. What is EFT? EFT is an acronym for Emotional Freedom Techniques. Apparently applying these techniques on a regular basis will “raise the physical and psychological bodies to more healthier and balanced vibrations”. In a nutshell, they’re supposed to relieve and heal you of any stress and trauma you endured while growing up or even during your adult life. In order to receive EFT assistance, one must find an EFT Master of whom must obtain an array of qualifications and take an EFT Master exam. The full list of qualifications can be found here (source). As you can see […]

You might be wondering why publishing Electromaax customer quotes are so important to boaters.

This is going to be short and sweet because it actually works and if you think about it, you’ll kick yourself for not figuring it out yourself. The simple and easy way to register a Yahoo account with a real phone number is by using someone else’s. Wait! Really? Yes, go try it yourself. There are two possible outcomes that will occur after your 1 attempt which could turn into two. Now this is going to sound really shady and I know I’m going to get a lot of flack in the responses for this, but this is how you do it. After reading this, go to the next section where I show you the other way. All you need to do is enter any local land or mobile number into the phone […]

People who own their homes put a special kind of pride into them. They understand the value of a dollar and they don’t want to see it’s value go down through problems that can be avoided. One of the major but avoidable problems home owners eventually experience is the problem of wildlife intrusion. When it comes to wildlife problems there are two areas home owners have to consider; the first is the health and safety of everyone in your home and the second is the value of your home. A home that is susceptible to diseases which can be transmitted through wildlife is, simply put, not a safe place to live. It’s the same result when it comes to home damage; a home that has all sorts of structural and integral damage won’t be valued as high as […]

There’s no shortage of reasons why animal control is needed and there’s enough evidence pointing to why wildlife removal is important to your safety. But how do you know if you have wild animals like squirrels, mice and raccoons living in your attic? How do you discover if you have a bat colony to contend with or a family of birds that need to be removed from your air vents? These are the most common questions home owners like you have, and we’re going to answer your questions below. Remember, if you do discover that you are harbouring wild animals, the objective is to control the situation professionally and to have the animals removed safely, and as soon as possible. We don’t want any accidents happening and we want everyone involved to be safe. […]

When it comes to online dating, there are a few things the owners of these sites should take into consideration. Aesthetics are quite important, probably the most important factor one should take into consideration when developing a dating site, but there are a few other factors like the all important usability factor. Before I delve into those factors and declare the winning site of this top ten aesthetically pleasing dating sites, I’ll give you the top 10 list below. In the end you be the judge and feel free to leave your views in the comments below. One of the judgement values going into this top 10 list is whether or not the dating site looks like a blog. If it does, it didn’t make the list. Sorry guys, but a dating site […]

Do not let bats infest your attic. It’s important to know the 10 signs of a bat infestation and to take action immediately if you find you have one. Bats are known to carry diseases which can be fatal to humans and other animals, and their droppings contain the same. With that said, I’ve decided to put together a ten point check-sheet with the top ten signs of a bat infestation and what you can do about it. Below are the top 10 signs of a bat infestation followed by a plan of action for those who believe they actually have one. 1. You see a bat in your house: This is one of the most obvious signs bats are living in your attic. Of course there could be that rare time that a random […]

Since I was a child, I’ve loved all animals but had a particular interest in dogs. I’ve owned several different breeds in my lifetime; a doberman named Spike, he was wonderful in most ways, but he would shed a lot and was sometimes rough with the kids. I’ve owned two Schnauzers; both great in every way, non shedding, great with the kids, great with other creatures, but unfortunately both had developed health problems which were costly and unavoidable. Then one day I adopted a Soft Coated Wheaten I named Cooper. I’ve had Cooper for now for 7 years and he’s only ever been to the vet for his annual shots; never for any type of illness ever. He is friendly, loveable, very good with other creatures; he helped foster kittens and he treated […]

In “the good ol’ days” (before 2005) a bankruptcy debtor with a mortgage problem could file a Chapter 7 bankruptcy and discharge all of his unsecured debts, then immediately turn around and file a Chapter 13 to deal with real estate debt. Bankruptcy attorneys referred to this as a “Chapter 20” (Chapter 7 plus Chapter 13). The 2005 amendments to the Bankruptcy Code sought to kill this practice; however recent cases have revived the Chapter 20 practice. See In re Davis (Branigan v. Davis), 716 F.3d 331 (4th Cir. 2013). Why would anyone want to file two bankruptcy cases? That is a good question – and there are some good answers for it! Filing 2 bankruptcy cases Imagine that you are self-employed and have a non-dischargeable $80,000 tax debt to the IRS, and […]

What a good question, but if you post this “When did this become this” picture before pondering the logical answer, you shouldn’t be posting pictures on the Internet. Why? Well here’s the answer: the “become this?” part of the picture, became this, because of quite a few developments in the modern world and none of them had to do with the government or corporations and their desires to enslave humanity. No, it, had “become this” when; crime rates started dramatically increasing each year criminal’s weapons became more deadly gangs started using high powered automatic weapons teenagers became more bold, brazen and destructive during lawful protests which became, unlawful bank robberies and hostage taking became a common occurrence when regular citizens decided bombing public places was a good choice (yes they needed to be found […]

When it comes to getting the most useful hours out of the use of your projector you may be under the impression that the only thing you can do is replace the lamp whenever it starts to become dim.

This is an easy conspiracy theory to debunk and the reason it is is because it cannot happen. If it did happen, there would be nothing left for anyone, and in the end, those, who so-called perpetrated the “incident” would have nothing left either – let me elaborate. The conspiracy theory that revolves around the belief that all government powers of the world (or a certain few) and/or corporations are trying to enslave all of humanity is one of the most illogical conspiracy theories I know. If you think it’s beneficial to any one government or corporation to enslave humanity, you haven’t thought it out enough, but if you read on, you will hopefully gain some insight. At first thought, and without any thought thereafter, it seems like a plausible idea, especially when […]

There are many bankruptcy strategies to assist honest debtors obtain a fresh start. One of the best tactics for Chapter 7 debtors is found in Section 722 of the Bankruptcy Code: Redemption. Redemption is only available to Chapter 7 filers. (if you don’t know what chapter 7 entails, view this link) Chapter 7 allows the debtor to redeem secured collateral for an amount equal to the secured portion of the loan. In other words, if you have a car worth $7,500, and owe the lender $17,000, the secured portion of the loan is $7,500 and the unsecured portion is $9,500. You can redeem the car for $7,500 and the remaining $9,500 is subject to discharge at the end of your case. Property is determined by its Replacement Value The secured portion of property […]

Whether your allergy1 symptoms stem from seasonal irritants like pollen, or from environmental issues like dander or dust, it is important to have the right tools at home in order to ease your symptoms. Tackling this kind of problem means having important things like a good vacuum cleaner, as well as a way to remove dust and build-up from hard to reach places like corners, crevices, and behind furniture or appliances. Determine What Features Are Necessary The first step in choosing the best household cleaning tool for reducing allergy symptoms is to evaluate what your needs are. This will make it easier to narrow the choices down to just a few models. Some will find that features such as a reusable or easy to change filter are important while others may prefer compact […]

If you have been deciding between purchasing a big screen TV or a projector, but can’t decide which is better for your home and lifestyle, read on. There are many good points that are associated with both of them, but some options fit better with specific homes, viewing styles, and intent, more than others. Quite recently, I wrote about the ideal ways of setting up your projector for the next big sporting event, but I felt it was also necessary to give you some information as to which medium you should choose for such events. You can read that article here (source). Now that you’re ready, follow along while we compare the benefits and the problems that each offer you and hopefully this article can help you narrow down your options. Size Considerations The […]

If you’re wondering whether you can continue to make contributions while you’re going through the bankruptcy process read on to find out if you can. Bankruptcy courts, including appellate courts, are split whether a debtor may continue payroll deductions to fund a voluntary retirement account, such as a 401(k), during a Chapter 13 case. The issue boils down to two competing interests: savings for the debtor’s retirement versus additional payments to unsecured creditors during the bankruptcy case. In attorney jargon, are wages earmarked for retirement contributions considered “disposable income?” Three competing interpretations have developed. First, some courts find that voluntary retirement contributions are not disposable income, so debtors can continue to make them during a Chapter 13 plan period. This is the majority view. Courts adopting this view permit debtors to make voluntary contributions […]

In this article I’m going to talk a little about marine wind generators and how converting wind power into a usable energy source is a wise decision. As an avid cruiser or just starting out travelling the open seas, your station is mostly in the water, and that’s where you want to ensure your source of power is always topped and there’s no chance of running out of power while you’re out at sea. In today’s day and age, the technology behind wind energy is ever expanding and manufacturing wind generators that are extremely efficient – much more than they were even 15 years ago is becoming the industry norm. With the technology getting better each year, as a boating enthusiast, you can’t go wrong installing one of your own. Do you want […]

It’s natural to want to know and inquire as to what happens if you forget to declare any of your property during bankruptcy. I’ll answer this below. During Chapter 7 bankruptcy, the debtor is charged with disclosing all of his or her income, expenses, assets and debts. The point is to allow the bankruptcy court to consider what the debtor needs to effectively reorganize personal finances. In a Chapter 7 liquidation case, certain assets not necessary to the debtor’s welfare are taken by the bankruptcy trustee and sold to pay the creditors; the people you owe. Debtors are allowed to keep certain property that is reasonable and necessary for their personal welfare. To this end, federal and state exemption laws exist to protect a debtor’s property in bankruptcy. Disclosing ownership of an asset […]

For the most part, unless you’re an avid boater, chances are you are unaware of the fact that boats can be equipped with water maker and desalination systems. Reverse osmosis desalination systems have been around for quite some time, but if you haven’t yet cruised the deep blue seas, it’s important that you get a basic understand about them. I’ve decided to put together 8 facts about marine water makers to get your started. 1. Compared to other devices on your boat, marine water makers can be relatively inexpensive This is not to say that there isn’t some financial investment. There is. But like everything with your boat, perspective is needed. The boat itself and all of the devices, appliances, and parts of the boat require some cost, investment, and benefit calculations. For example, […]

While most projectors have similar maintenance plans, understanding the basics of your lamp and how to properly care for it is pertinent to it’s longevity. Here is the best way to understand your projector’s lamp so that you can get the most out of it before you have to replace it. When it comes to proper projector care, one of the best things is to know the different items you need to maintain within your projector and starting off with your lamp is a good idea. The Life of Projector Bulbs When you buy a projector, it typically comes with a bulb that will have approximately a 3,000 hour lifespan. Now, this does not mean that your projector bulb is going to hit 3,000 hours and suddenly turn off, this is just an average […]

Bankruptcy is a complex set of laws that balance the interests of debtors against the rights of creditors to receive payments. The central feature of the bankruptcy law is the Bankruptcy Code, authorized by the U.S. Constitution and written by Congress. The Bankruptcy Code is generally the supreme law in a bankruptcy case and debtors, trustees, creditors, and even bankruptcy judges are obligated to follow its dictates. The recent U.S. Supreme Court case of Law v. Siegel examines the extent of how obligated a bankruptcy judge is to follow the Bankruptcy Code. In this case, the Chapter 7 debtor, Law, claimed that his home had two liens against it and also applied a California state homestead exemption of $75,000 to protect any remaining equity. If his assertions were true, there was no equity […]

Projectors can really come in handy for any kind of sporting event and the consensus is, the bigger the screen you’re watching it on, the better. You can set up the projector to create the illusion of a giant television without losing the depth and definition that old projectors could not offer. They’re great because you can have as big of a screen as you want, allowing you to have a huge party with all of your friends and family having first row seats. If you are setting up for a huge sporting event, here are some basic things that any party needs! Using Your Projector to Watch the Game Make sure you have your projector set up in a safe part of your room before people come over. You don’t want people walking […]

Since a lot of people are asking, I thought it would be a good idea to publish information that will help when refitting an Electromaax alternator. There are a host of issues where you might find yourself needing to refit a new alternator. You may have been noticing signs in your boat for some time, or you may have an unrelated electrical leakage problem or similar issues and find that a complete refit is needed. After some research, you may very well find that Electromaax is one of the best options. If you are someone who really should be doing this yourself, but just need a little guidance, it doesn’t hurt to look at a specific example of someone doing the same thing. This can help to walk through the process and look at […]

The Amish wouldn’t be the Amish without their religion. Their lifestyle and indeed their communities are all religious-centric without exception, and because of this anyone looking to date within the Amish community needs to fully understand their own perspective on religion before getting into the dating scene. About 90% of all Amish people choose to be baptized at the end of their adolescence, or Rumspringa, so by the time they’ve matured, the overwhelming majority will have made a lifelong commitment to their faith. Converting is a huge taboo within the Amish communities. If you run into someone who has not yet been baptized by the Amish church, then religion will be a subject that you two can discuss between yourselves, but if you meet someone who has been fully baptized within the religion […]

In the future I’ll post a much larger PNG of this Saturn Sigil but for now this will do for the person who’s searching for and seeking information about one. To make a long story short, a sigil is the latin translation of the word or notion of a signature or magical formulae. It can look like a LOGO. A Saturn Sigil is a sigil of the planet/God Saturn.  If you’ve come to find an image of a saturn sigil, here you have it. Feel free to download and use as you wish without the need of attribution unless you’d like to leave a link to where you used it in the comments below.

Teenagers can be incredibly picky when it comes to how their bedroom looks. They may suddenly want a to pain the room a different color, add new carpet, or even new furniture. When letting them do any of these options, it is important to consider the cost, and whether the changes are just a passing phase or not. Even if it is a phase, there are some affordable ways to deal with it. Let Them Choose The Theme Or Color The first step in transforming a teen’s room is to let them pick out what kind of theme or color they want. They may prefer all red, or even all black for the walls or accessories. If repainting the walls or replacing the carpet is not an option, there are still ways to […]

At some point, nearly every vacuum cleaner needs to have a little work done on it. Often, it is simple parts, like a new filter, a different hose, or even the belt. Many of these parts are easy to change at home with a few basic tools and an hour or so of time. To get started with this, vacuum owners should obtain the replacement part and clear space to take the unit apart in. Access The Belt After clearing space to work in, the first step is to make sure that the unit is turned off and unplugged. Once it has been unplugged, the next step is to remove the floor brush from the unit. The floor brush, such as the Power Nozzle, often has a small belt on the underside that […]

Bankruptcy is a powerful tool for restructuring personal finances, discharging oppressive debt, and granting the “poor but unfortunate debtor” a fresh start. While there are several different methods for filing bankruptcy found in the various chapters of the Bankruptcy Code, the most popular is a liquidation bankruptcy found in Chapter 7. If you need a refresher on Chapter 7 or just some common knowledge, simply follow this link for the basics. It’s Time to Start Fresh A Chapter 7 is an “erase-your-debts-and-start-fresh” bankruptcy. In a Chapter 7, non-exempt property is taken and sold to pay creditors. Any debt that is not paid is discharged, as long as it has not been excluded by law or by the bankruptcy court, such as a child support debt. There are many benefits to Chapter 7, so […]

Have you heard the news? In September, the bankrupt soul singer Dionne Warwick filed a lawsuit against the United States and State of California to discharge federal and state taxes dating back to 1991. Warwick had previously been granted a Chapter 7 discharge by a New Jersey bankruptcy court in July, and now seeks a determination by the bankruptcy court that her tax debt was included in that discharge. The Internal Revenue Service filed a claim in Warwick’s bankruptcy totaling almost $7 million and the State of California filed claims at over $3 million. Warwick’s attorneys assert that all of her federal and state tax debts were included in the July discharge order. They stated that all of the taxes claimed owed by the IRS and State of California were assessed more than […]

Mathematically, or even scientifically, I’m not sure whether there is such thing as a Pythagorean Oval, but in the images below you’ll see how a supposed Pythagorean Oval can be created using the calculations of Pythagoras’ Theorem. Step 1 Step 1 is easy. Simply create your 3 by 4 rectangle. Step 2 Now, divide your 3 by 4 square to create your Pythagorean 3, 4, 5 Triangle. Step 3 Now we display the theorem which states that a2 + b2 = c2 based on a right angle triangle. So we’ve all seen this before; probably in high school, maybe later; maybe while studying Sacred Geometry or you’ve heard of it through Masonry. Either way, the equation is, the hypotenuse squared will be equal to the length of the other 2 sides squared. in […]
