Your guests have departed; the dishes are cleared away. Time to turn out the Christmas tree lights and go to bed. But is disaster lurking within your home? The first alert may be when the smoke alarm shrieks its warning at 4:00 a.m. If you don’t have a working smoke alarm, you may not wake up at all.

As a home inspector and firefighter with 20 years experience, I am often criticized for being picky about small, insignificant items such as poor wiring, lack of smoke detectors, fire stops and window sizing that really didn’t mean very much. Well when fire strikes these items many times make these items make the difference between life and death. I have been to several Christmas Day fires including one where several people died and can tell you they do make the difference.

According to statistics from the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), the number of fires and fire deaths typically rises sharply during the holiday season. Fires during the holiday season injure 2,000 people every year, and cause over $500 million in damages. Gatherings of family and friends can mean an increase in cooking activity, which is the leading cause of home fires. Alcohol consumption also tends to increase this time of year and is cited as a contributing factor in many of US fire deaths. Add candles, holiday decorations, fireplaces and heating equipment to the mix and the potential for disaster is great.

You can protect your home and your family from fire with these simple, common sense safety tips:

Cooking: Look while you cook–unattended cooking is the leading cause of kitchen fires. Wear tight-fitting or rolled-up sleeves when cooking and keep all combustible materials a safe distance from the stove. Cooking or smoking while under the influence of alcohol can be deadly. Keep a close eye on any drinkers in your household and make sure all cigarettes are properly extinguished and the stove is off before going to bed.

Candles: Keep candles in a sturdy holder away from children, pets and combustible materials. Snuff them out before leaving the room.

Christmas trees: Nationwide we have had a drought and it’s important that you make sure to buy a fresh tree. Needles on fresh trees should be green and hard to pull back from the branches if the tree has been freshly cut. The trunk should be sticky to the touch. When you get home cut ” off the base of the tree and put it in a bucket of water for at least a day. When you bring it inside make sure it’s not by any heater vents. Always keep the tree stand filled with water. Discard any broken or frayed sets of lights when decorating the tree. Always turn off lights on trees and other decorations when you go to bed or leave your home. A short circuit in any of this equipment could cause a fire. When you string the lights on your tree be careful to keep all bulbs turned away from gifts and paper ornaments. Lights in windows can cause curtains and drapes to ignite. Lit candles should never be placed on or near the Christmas tree. When the tree starts to dry out, it’s time to throw it away.

Paper Dispose of gift-wrappings soon after opening presents. Never put wrapping paper in a fireplace. It can throw off dangers sparks and produce a chemical buildup in the home that could d cause an explosion.

Space heaters: Keep portable heaters at least 2 feet away from anything that can burn–including you. Don’t use your heaters to dry shoes or clothes.

Heating appliances: Remember to have your furnace inspected each year by a licensed technician. Your fireplace chimney should also be cleaned and inspected annually to prevent problems that may cause a build-up of carbon monoxide. A carbon monoxide alarms will alert you to the presence of this deadly gas.

Smoke alarms: Over 90% of fire deaths occur in residential dwellings between 11pm-6am when occupants are asleep. Alarms should be installed on every level of your home and outside all sleeping areas. Test your alarms regularly and change the batteries at least once a year. Most fire departments promote this practice during Fire Prevention week in October.

Home Escape Plan: If a fire does occur in your home, everyone must get out as quickly as possible. Develop a fire escape plan and practice it with your entire family. Have a single meeting spot once everyone exits the house.

When it comes to mortgages, many people tend to look at points and interest rates as to separate issues. In fact, they can almost always be used as leverage against each other.

Points and Interest Rates

Two critical components of a home loan are the interest rate and points charged at the outset. The interest rate is simply the cost of borrowing the money and applies to the total amount borrowed, to wit, six percent for example. The points on a home loan are an up-front fee that equates to a percentage of the loan. For instance, one point equates to an up-front fee equal to one percent of the total loan value. Paying one point on a $300,000 loan would equate to a fee of $3,000.

Many people jump to the conclusion that points are bad and should be avoided at all costs. While this may seem like common sense, it is not true in all situations. From the lender’s view point, points and interest rates work hand in hand. If you have a unique cash situation, you may be able to save a ton of interest over the life of a loan by paying increased points at the outset of the loan. Generally, the more you pay in points, the lower the interest rate on the loan.

If you intend to hold onto your property for a long time, paying maximum points on the mortgage makes sense if you have the cash. The reason for this is the money spent on the points will be easily recovered if you can reduce the interest rate by a full percentage point or more. Saving even one percent on an interest rate will save you tens of thousands of dollars in interest payments on a thirty year loan. In such a situation, it makes sense to pay $6,000 or so in point to save $30,000 or $40,000 in future interest payments. Of course, you have to have the cash available to do it.

If you intend to hold onto a home for a short period of time, the same issues need to be considered. In this case, however, you will not have time to recover any money paid in points because you intend to sell in a few years. As a result, you want to shop for a loan that requires no points be paid. Yes, you will have to accept a higher interest rate on the loan, but this should be somewhat immaterial if you are only buying for the short term.

The bigger point is points and interest rates should be viewed as connected parts of a mortgage. As a borrower, you can negotiate with lenders to raise or lower either one by tweaking the other.

Not just students, just about everyone invariably have to take down notes at some point or the other. The conventional method of writing is the linear way, where every point is faithfully written in full sentences, taking care of meaning, syntax and commas, etc. This does not help us in effective note taking as we struggle to keep pace with the speaker or our racing thoughts in quickly writing down the information.

But with Mind Maps, it can be an entirely different story. You will learn a whole new way of tackling note taking You can just race ahead and what’s more, keep pace with your running thoughts. So what is so special about it that writing becomes so easy? The power of Mind Maps lies in that information is held in a format your mind will find easy to remember and quick to review.

First, Mind Mapping technique uses non-linear method of key words or phrases instead of long, running sentences. Mind Map provides a two-dimensional structure, where the primary, secondary and other levels of thoughts or ideas are laid out, so the flow of thoughts, and relation between different levels of thoughts are clearly brought out.

A complete Mind Map will have the main topic lines radiating in all directions from the center. Sub-topics flowing from the main heading will be linked like branches of a tree to the main trunk. Just exploring your thoughts and putting them down in single word will automatically create different levels so the whole thinking process gets projected.

Since Mind Maps is essentially about noting the most precise points, it is compact, occupying less amount of space, while providing a comprehensive picture of the whole subject at a glance. If you find that you need to include more points, you can easily integrate them with little disruption.

Mind Maps are of great value for:

* summarizing a set of information

* consolidating multifarious information

* thinking through complex problems and

* presenting information, where the structure and flow of your subject is categorically clear

Mind Maps are also very easy to review, as you can simply refresh information by just glancing through the Mind Map. The format of the Mind Map aids in capturing the full essence of the subject at a glance.

In addition, Mind Maps are highly effective as mnemonics. It is easy to remember the shape and structure of a Mind Map since you are totally involved in putting them down. So you are aware of your thoughts on a particular part of the Mind Map.

Besides, colors, pictures and symbols form a vital part of Mind Maps. Colors help to distinguish between different aspects of the subject and also show their organization, apart from helping to visualize the Mind Maps for recall. Further, pictures and symbols aid in remembering information more effectively than words. Also, lines or symbols are used in Mind Maps to show cross-linkages of one part to another. This helps you to see the connection among the various elements easily.

Above all, your Mind Maps are your own prized possession. Once you learn how to use Mind Map, you can develop your own style to make them meaningful. While you can use your hand to draw Mind Maps, you now have software tools to help you produce top quality Mind Maps that can be easily edited and reworked. All these and more make a strong case for you to learn Mind Map and use them for effective note taking. The most significant point is that Mind Maps have a great deal of application in various aspects of our activities and not confined to just note-taking.

Learning How To Add Pounds of Muscle Fast

This is for you poor souls that just can’t seem to gain a pound. And on top of that, you get no sympathy from the scores of people that want to lose weight and have no idea why you’d complain about not being able to put weight on.

They think you’re the lucky one, eating whatever you want without gaining weight. Little do they know that you are just as frustrated without gaining mass as they are with not being able to lose weight!

For those of you who desperately want to add muscle, you know how frustrating it can be to train hard and stay skinny. You wish your problem was losing weight instead of gaining mass.

You need to eat more calories than you burn off and use an effective trainig program designed to add pounds of muscle to your skinny frame.

Of course, there is more to it than that, but that is the bottom line. It does matter, however, what kind of calories you eat, and when you eat them.

Eating candy bars and drinking sugar laden sodas may help you in gaining mass but that mass will be fat, not muscle. And then you’ll wish you were skinny again. You need to not only take in enough calories but you need to take in the right calories that will help your body achieve an anabolic (muscle building) state, and minimize fat storage. You need to constantly feed your body high quality protein at a minimum of 1 gram of protein per pound of bodyweight. Hard weight training causes your body to crave muscle building nutrients, protein being the primary nutrient that it needs.

As a naturally skinny guy myself I can tell you from experience that I have a very difficult time gaining mass unless I am taking in at least 1.5 grams of high quality protien every day.

Make sure you eat at least six meals a day. This will help your body utilize the nutrients more efficiently, including minimizing fat storage by avoiding excessively large meals that send your body signals that there might be a famine pending, causing body fat storage to accelerate.

Most people who have trouble gaining mass aren’t taking in as many quality calories as they think. Consider keeping track of your calorie intake and make adjustments as you go, shooting for a gain of 1 to 2 pounds gained per week.

If you are gaining mass at a rate of 1 pound of quality muscle per week, you will transform your appearance in a matter of a few months.

Constantly monitoring your calorie intake, body weight, and skin fold caliper measurements will help you pinpoint the number of calories you need to consume to build muscle. For Gaining Mass – Max Out Your Mass and Strength Most of use were taugh to warm up over several sets while decreasing the number of repetitions. For example, start with a set of 15-20 reps on the bench press, add weight, do another set of 10 – 12 reps and possibly even a third set of this number.

Finally, the work begins and you add weight for a fairly hard set of 8 – 10 reps. Increase the weight for a hard set of 6 – 8 reps and possibly one last hard set of 5 – 6 reps. Here’s the problem I have with routines like this (which is most routines).

You’re working hard enough on the warm ups to begin wearing yourself out, yet not hard enough to have a positive impact on your progress, ie, strength and muscle mass gains.

Your warm up should be designed to do just enough to prevent injury and allow you to work out as hard as you can with the heaviest weight possible for your working sets. If you workout in the manner I described and you switch to warming up just enough, you’ll find yourself lifting heavier weights for more reps than you were previously using.

This will increase the intensity, signaling your body that it needs to increase its muscle mass to cope with the new stress.

This may take some experimenting but here are a couple of examples to give you an idea. Let’s say you want to use 225 pounds on your working set of bench presses.

Start out with a very light set of 8 – 10 reps with 100 pounds, then do 3 reps with 145 and another 2 reps with 190. Rest a minute or 2 and then do your work set with 225. Those 3 warm up sets are done without any rest, except the time it takes to change the weights on the bar.

Let’s say you want to Squat with 300 lbs.

Do 8 – 10 reps with 135, followed by 3 reps with 205, 2 reps with 255 and maybe 1 rep with 275. Rest a minute or 2 and then do your work set with 300 lbs. Again, you’ll need to experiment with what it takes to get you physically and mentally prepared for your work set but try using this warm up method and see if your top end poundages don’t improve.

Sure, there are ways to gain muscle without becoming much stronger and ways to become stronger without adding muscle but all things being equal you need to become stronger to succeed in gaining mass in the form of new muscle.

To sum up, do minimal reps on the warm up sets, don’t rest between warm up sets, and then go to your top weight on your work sets.

Floor plan should be designed to meet your needs as well as those of your family. First of all it should have an adequate square footage – not too much, so that you don’t have too much unused space and increased costs of maintenance, and not too small, so that you have privacy, and room for all family activities as well as entertainment.

Here are things to look for while designing your floor plan:

* Garage should be close to the kitchen, preferably next to it, so that you have an easy access to the refrigerator or pantry while carrying your groceries to the house. It makes your job much easier for garbage removal as well.

* Two-story house usually costs less to build than one-story.

* When you decide to build a bedroom above garage, be ready to live with the noise caused by the opening and closing of garage doors.

* You need enough room for storage. Most builders don’t pay significant amount of attention to this point, yet most homeowners complain about not having enough storage. You should make sure there is plenty of closets in the bedrooms, large enough pantry closet and closets for towels as well for the coats, by the main entrance door.

* Plan your traffic patterns ahead of time. Observe where you spend most of your time and plan accordingly. Try to avoid putting any obstacles or doors in the way of major traffic paths.

* Consider proper room layout for noise. You do not want to have a library or bedroom next to a playroom or close to the area where TV or stereo unit is.

* Place dining room next to the kitchen so that you can avoid unnecessary steps while serving meals to your guests or your family members.

* Include at least half a bath on the first floor when planning a two-story house.

* I often see bathrooms next to the kitchen in older homes. This is definitely a bad combination and something you should avoid at all costs.

* Walk-in pantry is a good selling point at present time but make sure it makes sense in your situation. Regular closets are often more economical and provide more storage.

* Plan carefully on where to put washer and dryer. It is a good idea to have them on the second floor, next to the master bedroom, in order to avoid going up and down the stairs with your laundry. Take the noise into consideration, though. Calculate extra plumbing costs as well. If it all makes sense, go ahead and do it.

* Certain areas of the house, like bedrooms and library should be isolated from sound as much as possible. You can accomplish this by arranging your floor plan properly as well as adding an extra insulation in the walls or floors and by installing solid-core doors with higher sound-proofing qualities.

* High ceilings are very fashionable at present but you have to decide for yourself if they fit both: your budget and tastes. High ceilings take away living space. The same space might be used for an extra bedroom. You have to decide if you are after esthetics or practicality.

* Do you want a basement or can you live without it? Adding a full basement is costly but you should be able to recoup the cost at the time of sale, especially if your house is in the area of homes with basements.

Manual traffic exchanges are a dime a dozen, or are they? I have met some people who say traffic exchanges really work, and some who feel that they are a waste of time. There is a science to using manual traffic exchanges, you need to do your homework.

There are many manual traffic exchanges that depend on bells and whistles to attract members, they have games to play, bonus credits for answering questions while surfing, (some of the questions are to discourage cheating and failure to answer them correctly can result in the suspension of you account). But first you need to know your target audience, most people who use traffic exchanges (manual and auto) are not looking to join your program or buy your product, they are looking for the same thing you are. How to get more traffic to my web page, they are looking for information. Information is what sells on traffic exchanges, information on how to get more traffic to their web pages.

So how does this help you if you are not selling information? The answer is splash pages. Use splash pages to collect leads, then develop a personel relationship with them and introduce them to your product or service.
Next you need to find the best traffic exchanges for you. Different people have success with different traffic exchanges even when they promote the same page. Why, this depends on a number of things. What time you surf, how often you surf etc.

So join a few traffic exchanges to surf, you will need a tabbed browser such as Firefox or Crazy Browser. Firefox is highly recommended because of the extra virus protection it provides, but some have had issues with it so if Firefox won’t work for you try Crazy Browser.

Set your traffic exchanges up in groups according to their timer, timers run
anywhere from 10 to 60 seconds. The closer the timers the smoother your surfing will be. Try to surf no more than 5-8 traffic exchanges at a time 10 at the most and keep a look out for the same pages, many pages have the members name or even a photo on them. If you see the same page over and over one of two things are happening, one the member has put his/her page in the exchange more than once which is encouraged by some traffic exchanges or most likely you really are seeing the same page over and over.

In this case you don’t want to waste your hard earned credits in this
traffic exchange. If in doubt see if the traffic exchange has a built-in hit ratio, this tells you what percentage your page(s) is being viewed by unique members each day. Some owners only care about the quanity of clicks and not the quaility of those clicks.

Set a certain time to surf, twice a day if possible and the amount of time you can alot to surfing each day. Surf each exchange about an hour each day, for instance if you have three hours to surf each day divide your traffic exchanges into three groups. Whatever time you can alot to surfing divide it up evenly.

You also have to track your pages to see which ones are working and which ones you need to change. If a page works in some exchanges and not in others, simply change the ones that are not working or remove them from the traffic echange that is isn’t working in, always have an extra splash page ready to try in your traffic exchanges. And remember that the bigger the
exchange the more people see your page, but that don’t always mean that it is the best exchange, I have got more signups from some of the smaller exchanges than the biggest ones.

So if you want more bang for your click, don’t settle for bells and whistles, do your “Due Diligence” and select the best traffic exchange to suit your needs.

The one thing I want you to think about as we are starting the New Year is the single most important factor in all of business. Take and throw everything you know out the window because without this one possession, you’ll end up more lost than driving down an old country, dirt road in Alabama.

It’s called direction…

Direction for you and your business…

Since it’s the beginning of a new year, you should initiate the year off on the right foot. Take the next few days to work on your real estate business instead of in it. What do I mean here? Shut off all the phones and conduct some serious soul searching to figure out what it is you’re really looking for from your real estate business. See, it’s time for you to stop tiptoeing along and get to work. This can be your year to stop being a “lookie-lou” and become a real investor. More on that in a sec but let me ask you -

“What direction are you heading in right now?” Are you where you want to be in life?

And no I’m not trying to sound like the latest Geico commercial with Tony Little yelling, “Yeah Baby, you can do it.”

I’m being totally serious here. See, a few years ago, when I worked at the J-O-B, I had a Franklin Covey planner that I tracked all of my goals, my appointments, heck my entire life in that one little book. Anyway, after moving a little over three years ago, my wife found this little book tucked away in a pile of stuff. She opened this book and proceeded to read what I had written for my goals and the direction for our businesses and our lives. She was shocked to see that nearly all of the items I had listed had come to pass. And the ones that hadn’t were not our really our goals anymore, as we were striving for bigger things.

So, the moral to the story is this: if you don’t know the direction you’re heading in, then how in the heck do you intend to ever get there? Do you think one day, you’ll suddenly wake up and say, “Oh, this is exactly what I want”?

I think not.

You’ve got to have a plan: A plan of Massive Action to get your butt moving in the right direction.

Now, some of you may ask, what do I do if my plan fails?

This type of thinking simply comes from the fear of failing. This stops most investors dead in their tracks from ever buying their first property. They read articles, books, and even buy courses, yet they remain inactive in buying any real estate, never realizing their dreams of escaping the rat race. They talk a big game about what they’re going to do, but they always seem to be just talking and not doing.

My response to the above question is that we can play “the what if” game all day long and still be at the same point you’re at now except a little more frustrated. But let me ask you this: What if your plan works? What if you knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that you wouldn’t fail? Would you then still procrastinate? Would you put off running that ad to buy houses? Would you still drive by that house in preforeclosure, yet convince yourself they’re not at home so that you won’t knock on the door?

It’s time you get serious about your financial future because the one thing that keeps passing us by regardless if we take action or not is our time.

So, I ‘m going to show you how to get off your butt and take action. It’s something I’ve used for years and believe that you’ll benefit as well. Here it goes.

First, I want you to identify where you want to be. This is the most important piece to the puzzle. Get some direction about your business and your life. Identify what’s makes you tick… Write this down. This could be something like you want to buy six houses per year with a net of $10K or whatever your situation is.

Next, what actions do you need to take to get to this point? Write down, what you’ll have to become as a person to fulfill your goal. Now, this person that you have to become, what do they do? What actions would they take?

Now, I want you to ask yourself, “What is it you can do over the next ninety days to get closer to your goal?”

Then, write down the actions and tasks that you’ll commit to completing in the next ninety days to realize your goal. When I say commit, I mean you have to be committed more than the average “Hollywood marriage” and stick with your plan adjusting it as you go along the way.

Along the way, as you complete some of the tasks, you want to reward yourself. Maybe, you’ve finally sold that house that seemed like it would never sell or maybe you’ve talked with 20 sellers or whatever your tasks was, then reward yourself accordingly. Now, I’m not saying break the bank, just take a percentage of your profits from your next deal as a reward for your work. Maybe it’s a weekend getaway or it could be as simple as having a nice dinner with your family.

Now, you must remember to focus like a “laser guided missile”. It’s easy to get caught up with everything going on around you, however it’s crucial you remain focused with your eyes clearly set on your goals. I admit that I struggle with this every day. With the internet and running several businesses, it’s easy to get involved with all the day-to-day crap or surfing the net for hours on end. Ask yourself daily; what is the most productive, profitable use of my time? Finally, at the end of the ninety days, it’s time to look at what you’ve accomplished and repeat adjusting your plan from what you’ve already completed. I want you to do this process starting with the end in mind of where you want, and then backing your way to do the things necessary to achieve the end result.

If you fail to take time to do these simple yet powerful steps, then I grant that you don’t have what it takes to be a successful real estate investor. You must remain as the visionary for where you want to lead your business and the steps to getting there. If you fail to have this vision, then you’ll always be working for someone that does. However, if you follow theses simple steps, then you’ll be amazed at the amount of ground you can cover over the next ninety days. Commit to making this your best year ever. Screw the resolutions and focus on getting things done!

One of the biggest energy expenses for homes is heating the pool. Using the power of the sun can keep you swimming in the middle of winter.

If you have a pool, you know heating it can run your utility bill through the roof. Fortunately, there are a number of practical steps that can be taken to cut costs.

Many people who complain about the cost of heating their pools fail to take common sense steps to cut the bill. One of the unrealized costs is the power required to run the filter circulation system. Spend the money on a high powered pump and you will save money. The more you pump, the less time it will need to be on.

Next, make absolutely sure you use a cover for the pool. Heat escapes through uncovered surfaces. If you’re not using the pool, put a cover on it just like you would a hot tub. Try to add a solar bubble cover, which will create a bit of water heat by letting the sun in. Regardless, using a pool cover will make a major difference in your utility bill. Don’t be lazy! Make sure you keep the cover on the pool.

Even pool covers can only do so much to keep a pool warm. For some people, cutting the costs associated with warming a pool means going to a solar system. Solar heating systems for pools can be a very cost effective way to keep water warm throughout much of the year without driving your utility bill through the roof.

Solar platforms typically will heat a pool up to around 80 degrees, but not much more. The systems tend to be less expensive than home heating systems because they are smaller and need fewer components. You solar vendor can help you figure out what you need for your particular situation, but the rule of thumb is you need panels totaling half the size of the pool. This can vary based on whether the pool has a dark bottom and is isolated from the wind.

With utility bills soaring, many people are forgoing heating their pools to save money. By taking practical steps and possibly using a solar heating system, you’ll have the glory of swimming in January and not worrying about the utility bill.

Because of home equity loans, homeowners are able to acquire extra money for a wide variety of purposes. Moreover, these loans make it possible to tap into the equity built without selling your home. There are many home equity options. Aside from getting a loan, homeowners may opt for an equity line of credit. Additionally, there is the 125% home equity loan option.

What is Equity?

The concept surrounding 125% or no-equity home loans is very simple. Ordinarily, homeowners would acquire equity loans that equal the amount of equity built in the home. Before going any further, it is important to understand how a home’s equity is determined.

Two factors contribute to a home’s equity, rising home values and amount owed to the mortgage company. If a homeowner’s property is valued at $200,000, and they owe the mortgage company $120,000, the home’s equity totals $80,000. In this scenario, the homeowner may obtain a home equity loan up to $80,000

How 125% Home Equity Loans Differ

If applying for a traditional home equity loan, homeowners may obtain a dollar amount not to exceed the home’s equity. This money can be used for home improvements, starting and operating a business, retirement, debt consolidation, etc.

On the other hand, if a homeowner is approved for a 125% equity loan, they are able to borrow more than their home’s equity. Because a portion of the loan is unsecured, many lenders steer clear of these sorts of loans. However, if your credit rating is high, several mortgage lenders are ready to offer a no-equity loan.

Reasons to Beware a 125% Home Equity Loan

125% home equity loans are more fitting for homeowners who require a large sum of money. Typically, these loans are common among those attempting to start a business. Moreover, these loans are beneficial for homeowners embarking on major home improvement projects.

If home prices continue to rise, 125% home equity loans will pose little threat. On the other hand, if the housing market takes a sudden nosedive, those who accept 125% home equity loans will likely owe more than their homes are worth.

Shady lenders will offer 125% equity loans because it’s a win-win situation for them. If a homeowner defaults on the mortgage, the lender forecloses on the property. However, because the amount owed exceeded the home’s value, homeowners are obligated to pay mortgage lenders the difference.
