I've worked with Biltmore Farms in Asheville, N.C., this summer, deciphering energy bills, tracking power demand trends and seeking cost-effective ways for the operations team to boost efficiency in their building portfolio.
Biltmore Farms is a residential and commercial community development company that is motivated to find new ways to keep quality high and costs low. In addition to the merits of curbing greenhouse gas emissions, energy management can prove to be a great way to control costs and raise a property's value.
One of my first meetings at Biltmore Farms was with the regional electricity provider's customer representative to examine bills. We looked at a building's power demand patterns on a daily basis over the last few years and determined how usage variations impacted charges.
I thought electricity costs were fairly straightforward with peak rates being slightly higher than off-peak rates, but as Climate Corps colleague Ryan Whisnant describes, it turns out that rate structures are a little more involved.
Billing intricacies might include peak demand rates varying by season, and seasonal peak time schedules that follow a different seasonal calendar than that of demand rates. Another common component is the ratchet: For example, facilities pay exceedingly high demand charges during peak times, yet must meet minimum billing demands. Even if the billing period demand is drastically reduced, minimum power demand charges might be 75 percent of a previous season's maximum monthly demand. So, with complex usage patterns in buildings combined with tricky billing structures, the smartest plan to significantly reduce energy costs will involve some careful analysis and planning.
Mentioned in a recent article, a study by Johnson Controls Inc. and the International Facility Management Association found that 71 percent of business leaders are paying more attention to energy efficiency than they were a year ago. After discussions with energy management and lighting professionals, utility providers, and building managers, it's clear to me that building owners are starting to take the task more seriously. I've discovered many tools that can simplify the task in a building, and I've wondered why the broader real estate industry hasn't been more aggressive in taking advantage of these opportunities for savings.
There seem to be many reasons why efficiency improvements could move faster, but there are clues from the construction process.
For example, at one point in its construction life, the commercial office building was just a shell. Shortly before that, someone had to ante up a hefty sum of equity, leverage the remainder, and since most jobs don't meet budget, add additional equity to keep pace with ballooning construction and materials costs. Upfront costs can interfere with sophisticated savings implements, or if they were originally included in the proposal, the items are potentially removed from plans at the value engineering stage under competition for funds. Energy management systems, open protocol building controls, ultra-efficient HVAC units, dimmable lighting fixtures, monitoring sensors or other newfangled gadgets that aren't absolutely essential to the building or future tenants can be first to disappear.
In many instances, modern buildings are outfitted with proprietary control systems that are the industry standard but are increasingly too incompatible to be fully controlled by modern devices. This limits their ability to provide energy fine-tuning, but replacement might be too expensive. It could also be that yesterday's sophisticated device is simply outdated by today's standard. New innovations in air conditioning and lighting are continually making it easier to achieve a payback on the investment, but the future savings from these and other devices could be challenging to fit into a cost-benefit discussion at this stage, especially when the financial benefits are difficult to measure.
Split incentives can be tricky too; if a developer is going to invest in these types of instruments, there needs to be some assurance of a return either through realized operational savings if the building will be retained, or through increased net operating income if the building will be sold in the future.
As the business community increasingly seeks to improve energy efficiency in existing buildings, it is important not to overlook opportunities that only exist during the construction phase. In my next post, I'll consider some often-unrealized opportunities that arise in commercial leased space through leasing arrangements.

Lobby threatens to sue if 'tainted' CS nominees pass vetting
Say most nominees have pending court cases including accusations of murder, rape and corruption
President William Ruto on Tuesday unveiled a 22-member Cabinet team to be vetted by the National Assembly for appointment.
"The CS appointments fail to adhere to Chapter Six on Leadership and Integrity, the two-third gender rule and ethnic balance," Malombe said.
by Akello Odenyo Court Reporter
INTEGRITY: Kenyan Human Rights Commission executive director Davis Malombe and other KHRC personnel Betty Okero and Mary Kombo after a press briefing at KHRC offices along Gatanga Road, Nairobi on Thursday, September 29.

A human rights lobby has asked MPs to reject Cabinet nominees who have integrity issues.
The Kenya Human Rights Commission on Thursday threatened to go to court if the nominees are approved by Parliament and eventually appointed.
They include former MPs Moses Kuria (Gatundu South), Aisha Jumwa (Malindi), Ababu Namwamba (Budalang'i), Florence Bore (Kericho) and Ezekiel Machogu (Nyaribari Masaba).
Also, Elgeyo Marakwet Senator Kipchumba Murkomen, former Meru senator Mithika Linturi and MPs Alice Wahome (Kandara) and Aden Duale of Garissa Township.
Others are former CS Davis Chirchir and former governors Salim Mvurya (Kwale) and Alfred Mutua (Machakos).
KHRC executive director Davis Malombe said most of the nominees have pending court cases including accusations of murder, rape and corruption.
He spoke during a press briefing at their offices in Nairobi on Thursday.
The official said the list points to an exercise of rewarding political cronies as well as the establishment of unconstitutional portfolios.
"The list can be construed as a reward for the President's sycophants, a move that fails the governance test of balancing politics, economics, and social aspects in the selection of Cabinet members," he said.
Malombe said more than seven appointees to the Kenya Kwanza Cabinet have allegedly been implicated in grave crimes including corruption, rape and murder and have ongoing court cases.
"This begs the question on the intent to protect, respect and uphold the Constitution," he said.
Jumwa was nominated CS for Public Service and Gender. She is facing murder charges.
Linturi is also facing charges of attempting to rape a woman at a Nanyuki hotel in September 2021. He denied the allegations and was freed on a Sh500,000 bond.
Chirchir was ousted from the Ministry of Energy, the same position Ruto has proposed him to head.
He was suspended as Energy CS in 2014 after a UK court, alleged he pocketed millions of shillings in bribes to award lucrative ballot paper printing contracts to British company Smith & Ouzman while working at defunct electoral commission IIEC.
Namwamba's scandal plagued the Public Accounts Committee of the National Assembly and was the first ever to be disbanded on allegations of corruption.
They were sent home after an investigation into claims that its members had been using their positions to enrich themselves through extortion and blackmail.
KHRC official Martin Mavenjina said Chapter Six of the Constitution has once again been dealt a blow.
"The above reflects a bleak and dire future that if unchecked will undoubtedly manifest in a state of anarchy thereby pushing back the gains thus far," he said.
"A nominee like Chirchir was sent out of the same office on allegations of abuse of office where Kenyans lost millions."
The human rights activists also want Ruto to ensure the actualisation of the two-third gender rule in accordance with the law.
The President nominated seven women to his 22-member Cabinet.
"Article 27 states that not more than two-thirds of the members of elective or appointive bodies shall be of the same gender, this has not been honoured," Mavenjina said.
The organisation said the President signed the charter of inclusion, "which clearly from the Cabinet appointments is far-fetched and disrespectful to special interest groups and Kenyans who voted him to the office on this accord."
KHRC programme advisor Irene Soila said the appointments do not reflect the regional and ethnic diversity of the people of Kenya.
"About 50 per cent of the appointees are from the Gikuyu, Embu and Meru communities while 30 per cent are from the Rift Valley region. A few other communities share 20 per cent," she said.
"It is safe to conclude that the current cabinet composition will continue to exacerbate the long-fought ethnic disgruntlement battle and draws back on the inclusion gains."
The team also raised concerns about the creation of new Cabinet positions not envisioned in the 2010 Constitution.
Malombe said the government through the Cabinet appointment has demonstrated continuity in breach of the Constitution by extending life to the prime CS positions.
"The Constitution assigns the mandate to establish and abolish public offices exclusively to the Public Service Commission," he said.
"Worse still, the President has gone ahead to create three more unconstitutional portfolios namely: National Security advisor, Prime Cabinet secretary and advisor on women's rights."
The commission said the move is a brazen abuse of power and the Office of the Presidency, if unchecked, will continue to burden the taxpayer with the ballooning wage bill and deepen the current unsustainable public debt.
"The country will be forced to borrow to meet the recurrent budget and further stretch the development budget thus depriving the 'hustler' access to basic services," Malombe said.
KHRC urged parliament to reject the list of nominees to allow the President to review his list.
"Some people on the list are elected leaders and will cost Kenyans billions in by-elections, to fill their positions," Malombe said.

Q: Maximum amount of iterations to get to an empty list from repeatedly taking the smallest complement of a list I was trying to solve Iterative Smallest Complement on the Code Golf website, and thought of an interesting question.
A basic run down of what the smallest complement of a list is:

... B is a complement of A if:

*

*B has all of the integers between the minimum and maximum of A which are missing from A, and

*B has none of the integers present in A

So basically, you make the list $[\min(A)\ldots\max(A)]\backslash A$, where $\backslash$ represents set difference.
Now given a list of non-repeating numbers $A$, repeatedly find the smallest complement until you obtain the empty set, and record how many iterations it took. Iterations include the initial list $A$ and the empty set: $\{\}$.
For example, given $A=[1,3,4,5,8]$, the iterations are as follows:

*

*$[1,3,4,5,8]$

*$[2,6,7]$

*$[3,4,5]$

*$[]$
So, $4$ iterations when $A=[1,3,4,5,8]$.

Now I was wondering: For any given list $L$ which includes no repeating numbers, what is the highest amount of iterations possible? I'm looking for some kind of expression in terms of $L$ (like its length, or maximum value, etc.).
I'm also wondering if there is some kind of algorithm which can generate a list with the most amount of iterations.

A: Line up the integers from $\min(A)$ to $\max(A)$ (inclusive) in order and color everyone $\in A$ red and everyone else blue.  E.g. $\color{red}{1} \color{blue}{2} \color{red}{3 4 5} \color{blue}{6 7} \color{red}{8}$.
Define a block as a maximal-sized sequence of consecutive same colored integers.  E.g. the above example has $5$ blocks.  The number of transitions would be $\frac{B+1}{2}$ where $B$ is the number of blocks, since each transition (except the last) removes the outermost two (same colored) blocks and then flip each remaining block's color, and the last transition removes the last block.  Since you count the original as an iteration also, the answer is $1 + \frac{B+1}{2}$.
It is therefore clear that for any given $\min(A), \max(A)$ the number of iterations is maximized if you maximize the number of blocks, i.e. include every other number in $A$ (subject to parity).


There is something about this woman… She acts like a lady, talks like one and thinks like one too.
Be that woman who wakes up in the morning impregnated with the will to be better than she was yesterday. Knowing that her life is better when she compares herself to no one. Her sole mission is to carry out her purpose effortlessly. She listens to her heart and not her mind.
Be that woman who seeks to do right more than to be right. As much as her mouth craves to speak is the same way that her ears desire intensely to listen. She exudes love and fights for it.
Be that woman who couldn't care less of other's opinions of her. She is unashamed of her past because is has refined her character and cultivated beauty. She knows that her worth isn't contingent to people's acceptance or in having a "clean" past.
Be that woman who commemorates and inspires other women to embrace their inner beauty despite of how they feel outwardly. She chisels the next generation of women who will aid in changing the world and reaching new horizon.
Nicely written! Keep up the encouraging posts!

A Dozen A Day Piano Book One is a great technical exercise book with dozens of short, fun studies, for grade 1 pianists to warm up with before doing your piano practice.
Warming up is a vital part of any piano practice, just like sports practice! A Dozen A Day Piano Book Ones is full of easy (grade 1) 8 bar warm up pieces to do before practising, all named after actions like 'Wiggling Toes', 'Ping Pong', and 'Riding Piggy Back', with fun stick men illustrations, that will develop flexible hands and strong fingers! The music is marked with fingerings, articulation and some performance directions, and some songs have words for you to sing along!
A Dozen A Day Piano Book One is split into 5 chapters of a dozen exercises labelled 1-12, which cover new technical aspects, such as accents, playing staccato, accidentals, grace notes, chords, arpeggios, and simple triplet arpeggio patterns. You can gradually work through each dozen, mastering 2 or 3 exercises before adding more, until you can play the whole dozen as a practising warm-up.
The techniques in A Dozen A Day Piano Book One progress from the previous book in the series. Book One starts with easy two finger pieces with both thumbs on middle C or 2 hands an octave apart, and ends with chords and melodies using both hands, in alternative hand positions. The chapters get progressively harder, so you will improve technically as you work your way through the book - each chapter ends with a final piece called 'Fit as a fiddle and ready to go', concluding that chapter so you can start practising! You are encouraged to transpose the studies into different keys when you have finished the book, so you can continue doing a dozen a day before practising!

There is some interesting overlap between the 101, 110, and 150 models.
The 150 is fairly common. I have had several pairs pass through my hands, and regularly hear of them "in the field". The 101 and 110 are less so - or at least, I encounter far fewer of them. This may not be due to smaller numbers of them being made, so much as the relative care and condition evident in examples of vinyl-clad versus wood veneered speakers this old.
The 150 is always 25" x 15" x 11", in real walnut veneer, featuring the vertical anodized aluminum trim and brass colored rings on top. There is no confusion here.
I have identical brochures for the EPI 101 and the EPI 110 described as being 20 1/4" x 12" x 8 3/4" - the only difference is the transposition of the "1" in the model name. The 110 sheet is dated 10/78, sadly that very bottom part of the page is not on my photocopy of the 101 brochure.
I have a physical example of a speaker of that size labeled "101", with the thin gold-colored metal trim around a foam grill, vinyl-clad cabinet, just as shown in the brochure. It is cut for the early masonite tweeter.
I also have a brochure for the 110C listing those same dimensions, from the "gold ring" tweeter era. This is definitely real. It shows a wooden frame style grill that protrudes slightly past the front of the cabinet.
I also have photographs of a customer's vinyl-clad speaker, clearly labeled "110", that measures 24" x 14 1/4" x 10 1/4" - almost the same as a 150 - and is built in a fairly early style: a masonite tweeter, woofer mounted on an inset board behind the baffle, and drivers mounted low in the baffle, just like the 150.
If it was built as a vinyl version of the 150, the slight dimensional discrepancy is likely due to the differences in how veneer and vinyl-clad cabinets are made - the vinyl ones are made using a "v-grooving" process, where both sides and the top and bottom are cut from one long piece of vinyl-clad material, with a "V" cut at each junction leaving just vinyl, which acts as a hinge for rapid assembly. Final product dimensions were often tweaked to maximize board usage efficiency.
Make of this what you will. I suspect the model was introduced as the 110 (as a vinyl version of the 150), and then later a new intermediate-sized model (larger than the 100, smaller than the 150) was to be called the 110, and then changed to the 101 to avoid conflict - especially if the larger 110 was still in production, or at least in inventory. These variations could easily have been regional, or specific to one retailer or category of retailers.
It is even possible that the "110" brochure I have represents something that never made it to the marketplace, although that is unlikely because it was sent to me by a customer, who would have acquired it through a retail channel.
20 1/4" x 12" x 8 3/4"
25" x 15" x 11"
As mentioned above, in the end, these distinctions or overlaps are only really of historical interest - the parts used in the speakers are all identical in function (they vary a bit in some ways by generation), and the new parts I make to rebuild and upgrade them are exactly the same for all three models.
As an aside, I have seen some early EPI models badged as "Epicure" speakers, with that being the only difference. This was likely an early development of the cosmetically unique first line of Epicure models.

Q: How do I initialize a PyTables table column size? I am doing a Monte Carlo calculation and I'd like to save the intermediate results to disk. Below is a basic version of my code. In my original version, I had a data aggregator object that would collect the results from each trajectory and then at the end calculate some statistics and write to disk, but I began to run out of memory and the files were unwieldy. I am trying instead to tack on PyTables so that I can a) flush the data to disk and b) efficiently read it back in for further processing when it's done.  I am working from this tutorial. My problem is that for each run, the data that would go into the layer column is a 1xn vector where n is set at the start of the script (it's actually passed through on the command line in real life).
Python won't let me define the table descriptor class inside the aggregator class, but the size n is outside the scope of the descriptor class. I'm coming from a MATLAB background, where all of the table creation and flushing to disk is hidden behind the single matfile command, so I'm really lost here.
How should I properly initialize my data table so that it can be seen within the aggregator object? If I should be doing this differently, how can I do the least amount of damage to my already working (except for the writing to disk) code?
import tables
import numpy

class Trajectory(tables.IsDescription):
    start = tables.Float32Col(shape=(1, 2))
    end = tables.Float32Col(shape=(1, 2))
    layer = tables.Float32Col(shape=(1, n)) # how do I pass n to here?

class AggregateResults(object):
    def __init__(self, n, filename):
        self.n = n
        self.h5 = tables.openFile(filename, mode="w")
        self.traj_group = self.h5.createGroup(self.h5.root, "Trajectories")
        self.traj_table = self.h5.createTable(self.traj_group, "trajectory", Trajectory, "Single Trajectory)

    def end_of_trajectory(self, results):
        trajectory = self.traj_table.row

        trajectory['start'] = results.start_position
        trajectory['end'] = results.end_position
        trajectory['layer'] = results.layer_path
        trajectory.append()
        trajectory.flush()

    def end_of_run(self):
        self.h5.close()

def do_code(aggregate):
    results = # long calculation goes here
    aggregate.end_of_trajectory(results)

main():
    filename = "filename.h5"
    n = 7
    aggregate = AggregateResults(n, filename)
    for x in range(100000):
        do_code(aggregate)

    aggregate.end_of_run()

A: This doesn't completely answer my own question, but in solving a different problem, I came upon a solution. Rather than saving in a table, as above, I am saving the variable length vector as a separate array as described here. Then I save each of the scalar values as an attribute of that vector.
class AggregateResults(object):
    def __init__(self, n, filename):
        self.n = n
        self.h5 = tables.openFile(filename, mode="w")
        self.traj_group = self.h5.createGroup(self.h5.root, "Trajectories")

    def end_of_trajectory(self, results):
        i = current_photon
        current_vector_name = "vector%2" % i
        current_vector = self.h5.create_array(self.traj_group, current_vector_name, results.layer)
        current_vector.attrs.start = results.start
        current_vector.attrs.end = results.end
        trajectory.flush()

    def end_of_run(self):
        self.h5.close()

Top 100 Golf Courses "BiteSize" – March 2018
One week from today Augusta National Golf Club will be in the world spotlight once again as the 2018 Masters gets underway with the famous par three contest, where many former green-jacketed champions will be walking off their Champions Dinner – no doubt Spanish-themed – hosted by last year's winner, Sergio Garcia. How many of these past Masters champions will spare a thought for Augusta's greatest jacketless golfers?
In a series of Masters previews, M. James Ward takes a look behind the scenes at this pristine season opening major and he also conducted a series of interviews with architects from around the world to shed some light on the Augusta National design.
Champions Dinner – select the menu and pay the tab
Behind the architectural curtain
Augusta's par three party
Green never to be seen – Augusta's greatest jacketless golfers
No cup of tea – Augusta's demanding opener
A green jacket can await or be denied – Augusta's closing hole
Also this month we've completed our ranking re-evaluations for Asia by releasing new and extended tables for Japan (Top 50) and South Korea (Top 40). Additionally, we've revised Indonesia (Top 30) and India (Top 20).
Finally, we've published the first ever Mexican Top 50, expanding this ranking list by ten courses from two years ago.
Top 50 Golf Courses of Japan 2018
The big news is we've expanded our Japanese rankings from a Top 30 to a Top 50 and we must thank our International Consultant Masa Nishijima, who looks after a large network of raters who assist him with the maintenance of the national listings. Masa has been advising us for many years and we're grateful for his extensive knowledge across a golf rich country with around 2,500 courses in play.
Click here to read more >>
Top 50 Golf Courses of Mexico 2018
Our first ranking chart for Mexico was established a decade ago when we introduced a Top 15 and we've gradually expanded the number of courses in this listing since then, producing a Top 40 during our last update exercise two years ago. This time, we're adding another ten tracks from our Mexican database to the national standings so this is the first publication of a Top 50 for Mexico.
Top 40 Golf Courses of South Korea 2018
After extending our South Korean listings to a Top 30 when we last re-ranked this country, we're now expanding the rankings even further by producing a Top 40, so our coverage across this golfing nation has doubled in just a couple of years. In this edition of our Korean standings, five courses remain in the same position as last time, seven move up, eighteen drop down and ten make a first-time appearance.
Top 30 Golf Courses of Indonesia 2018
The former Indonesian No.1 course at Nirwana Bali Golf Club closed last year for a major overhaul by Phil Mickelson's design firm and it looks like the redesigned layout might not re-open until next year sometime. The temporary omission of Nirwana Bali allows most of the other courses already occupying top ten positions to move up at least one place.
Top 20 Golf Courses of India 2018
When we last updated our Indian listings we doubled the number to a Top 20 but this newly re-ranked chart is all about consolidating what was established last time around, with seven courses moving up, seven falling down, four remaining the same and two dropping out. It's also worth noting the top two Indian layouts occupy positions within our inaugural Top 100 of Asia.
Review of the Month February 2018 - Pacific Grove
The back nine at Pacific Grove will give you everything you want out of a golf trip to Monterey for a fraction of the price compared to neighboring courses… This course doesn't strike me so much as a "poor man's Pebble" as it does a "poor man's MPCC" but no matter how you label it, the back nine is worth the price of admission and then some.
Like what we do and can't wait for next month's BiteSize?

Electoral watchdog organizations said the upcoming elections will face serious problems if government continues to interfere in the Independent Election Commission's (IEC) activities.
Another issue, the organizations say, is differing views among election commissioners on certain decisions.
"Decisions of the commission are made with a majority agreement. If the scheme (of stamping and adding a sticker to copies of ID cards) is accepted it will increase fraud," said Fazl Ahmad Manawi, former IEC chief.
"Elections will head for a crisis if government's interference continues," he added.
Electoral watchdog organizations have also raised concerns about the elections being plunged into a crisis if government continues to interfere in the Independent Election Commission's activities.
"Members of the (election) commission are unable to overcome their problems. They think about small issues and do not know that problems will affect elections and the voter registration process," said Yusuf Rasheed, CEO of Free and Fair Election Foundation of Afghanistan.
"Government's interference in the (election) commission and the internal problems between members of the institution will lead the election to a crisis. The main problem in this respect is government's interference," said Naeem Ayubzada, CEO of Transparent Election Foundation of Afghanistan.
On Sunday, the Independent Election Commission deputies and two commissioners said the decision to stamp copies of voter ID cards is illegal and that they are against the move.
The commissioners refused to talk on camera but said the decision was made by President Ashraf Ghani and IEC chief Abdul Badi Sayyad.
The commissioners said only Sayyad and another commissioner agreed to the decision, but they, the four commissioners, were opposed to the move.
IEC operational deputy head Wasima Badghisi, IEC financial and administrative deputy head Mazaaullah Dawlati, and IEC commissioners Abdul Qadir Quraishi and Maliha Hassan are the four commissioners who oppose the IEC chief and Ghani's new decision regarding the voter registration process.
The four commissioners have signed a letter in which they said they are against the move. According to them, based on the election law the commission does not have the authority to shift or amend electoral approaches during the election process.
According to IEC statistics released on Tuesday, over 1,832,791 people have registered so far to vote in the elections.
Of these, 1,277,320 are men, 516,519 are women, 42,730 are Kuchis (Nomads) and 287 are Sikhs.
Kabul, with 656,197, has had the highest turnout of any city so far.
Electoral monitoring organizations said the IEC leadership is unable to overcome disagreements among members of the commission.

Awhile ago I produced a video about some conversations between certain Realtors and my team.
I also wrote a nice long post about the subject, and Realtor professionalism in general, on my site.
I like to go back and watch the video from time to time because it makes me laugh, and that is a rare commodity in today's Real Estate market. While I was watching it, I thought I would share with the audience here what I consider to be the ideal home loan process, and exactly how the appraisal fits in to that timeline.
1) Pre-application Consultation – Ideally, home loan applicants would sit down with a competent, licensed Mortgage Professional 6 months before they intend to enter the market. Many people have unique circumstances regarding credit, income, employment, etc., and 6 months is usually enough time to work through issues to present the best possible loan file to underwriting.
2) Gathering of Essentials – Before you apply, you should gather your last 30 days paystubs, 2 most recent bank statements, last 2 years Federal tax returns with w2s & 1099s, & most recent retirement statements. And, if applicable, any divorce decrees, award letters, child support orders, and last 2 years business tax returns for self-employed/business owners.
3) Fill out a Loan Application – When it's time to fill out a loan application, do so with somebody you trust and get along with. You will be speaking with your loan officer a lot over the course of the coming weeks, so you might as well make sure that those conversations are with somebody you like and who is professional. They should clearly explain your loan terms, and all of the disclosures that need your signature so that you feel comfortable with the agreement you are entering into.
5) Underwriting – Despite the possibility of unexpected snafus, underwriting can still be a fairly smooth process if you have chosen the right Loan Officer to work with. Depending on underwriting turntimes, in a couple of days you should have a conditional approval. Think of this as the "to-do" list that you and your Loan Officer must complete before your loan documents can be drawn up.
10) MOVE IN!!!!! – Time to pay for pizza and beer in an attempt to trick your friends into helping you move.
And there you have it, the ideal home loan process. Each individual loan carries its own set of circumstances, so it isn't out of the realm of possibility that your process might deviate from these 10 steps. However, if you select the right person to work with, you should have a good idea of what you are up against from the beginning.
If you have any questions about Real Estate financing in Oregon or Washington, or the home loan process in general, feel free to shoot me an email at obi-wan_shinobi@homeloanninjas.com or check out the wealth of information at http://www.homeloanninjas.com/! I started the site because I continue to be appalled by the complete lack of reliable information about home loans in the mainstream media. I sincerely hope it is a true resource that helps to educate everyone to become a better home loan consumer.
It is amazing that just as we move out of an era of fraudulent loan officers, fake "Mortgage Planners" and Financial Trusted Advisers we are now being over run by a hoard of "Foreclosure Experts". Could these people be one in the same. Just the times and the opportunities are different?
When in foreclosure there are experts out there that can help you develop a plan of action. These people are beholden in one way or another to the state of Oregon as in they have an ACTIVE Real Estate license, Mortgage Certificate or member of the Oregon Bar. Bottom line, if they rip you off they it is harder for them to hide. Your legal representatives and the state of Oregon can track them down and hold them accountable.
It is never good to be in foreclosure. But remember you only make the situation worse by not seeking the information you need to develop a plan of action. Maybe you can not keep your home. Maybe you should sell and buy another home on seller contract or lease option. Maybe you can work something out with the lenders. You have to treat foreclosure as an problem that can be solved and not the end of the world.
Information is power and with right power anything and everything is possible. Do rot sit in place, do not allow shame to prevent you from doing what you can to resolve the problem for you and your family.
Lastly, do not listen to anyone that does not hold an Oregon License, Mortgage Certificate or member of the bar that promises to save your home or help you make your payments. Those people have nothing to lose and everything to gain by gaining your trust. If it sounds to good to be true….it is. If it sounds like it is not legal….there is a good chance is it not legal. If that little voice in the back of your head says hang up the phone…..hang up. Use your common sence and reach out to people that can help provide you with real solutions.
Well that is enough ranting. Keep an eye on this blog. Will be posting possible solutions to the problems you are facing. If they work for you….great. If they won't help you in your situation, feel free to send me an email or post the question on this message board.

Where's that Magic Washing Machine???
Wouldn't it be great if everyday the kids came home with clean hands, homework time went smoothly, laundry magically washed-dried-folded itself and everyone was still smiling at the end of the day? Well, until I find that magic washing machine, here's a few ways to de-stress at home and maintain balance in your life in and out of the dance studio!
Take a deep breath. Sometimes when kids are asking a hundred questions and you're trying to help with homework, take care of the dog, fix dinner and run everyone to their after school activities - it's a little overwhelming! Lock your self in your closet, pantry or anywhere else and take a few deep breaths. Trust me - life will look a lot better after a minute of getting more oxygen flowing to the brain!
Eat dinner as a family. This is easy to say and much harder to actually accomplish. As kids get older they become involved in lots of different activities - and we want them to so they grow to be beautiful well-rounded, community minded people. But set aside at least one night that is non-negotiable where everyone must be present and eating together. It will give you all a chance to enjoy learning about what the others are doing and talking about school happenings and such.
Don't hate driving. That sounds weird, I know. But if you look at your time in the car as an opportunity to talk, it's amazing what you can learn and how relationships can grow closer. Especially with teens!
Do something together. Even if it's weekend chores, working together builds lasing bonds and friendships. And if you can squeeze in something fun - that's even better!
Laugh. Sometimes we find ourselves in situations where we can either laugh or cry. Choose to laugh. You'll feel better in the end. Crying just makes mascara run and that's nothing to laugh at! Laughter really is the best medicine - besides dancing!
At Jeanne's, we support a healthy state of mind and balance between school, home and dance. Sign up on our homepage for an Intro Class and you'll see the difference a little Life Balance can make!
