One of the best parts about being on vacation is that you get to take a break from your everyday life. You do not have to get up early every morning and go to work. You do not have to come home and cook dinner and clean every night. It can be nice to go out to dinner while you are on vacation. However, sometimes it is just as nice to sit back and relax in your hotel room and enjoy some food delivery in Oahu.

For example, think about the first night you get into the hotel, and you are fresh off the plane and just into your hotel. It’s dark outside and you’re in no position to go anywhere to find a hot meal. Instead of paying outrageous hotel rates for room service, you can enjoy many food delivery choices from the comfort of your bedroom while you are vacationing on the island of Oahu. If you want to keep it simple, you can always order in pizza. Papa John’s delivers throughout Oahu and you can always count on them to deliver a great, hot pizza, cheesy bread sticks, wings and some Pepsi. Because most hotels have free wi-fi, just search online for the location nearest you or ask your hotel for the number to the closest Papa John’s. While you’re in Hawaii, you’re certainly not going to want to have pizza every night, but when you do, it’s nice to know the same pizza you can get at home is available on the islands, too

On your next vacation to Oahu, remember to take time to relax. Stay up late and enjoy the nightlife. Sleep in one morning. Wake up early one morning and catch the sunrise. Go out to dinner and enjoy some unique restaurants. Relax in your hotel room and skew all responsibility by ordering in dinner one evening. Relax by the pool with a pizza and Pepsi, soaking in the sun. It’s all up to you. In Oahu, you can have almost any kind of food you can think of delivered right to your hotel room door.

Jermaine Pennant jailed for drink-driving

Tuesday, March 1, 2005

Aylesbury, England — The Arsenal F.C. midfielder Jermaine Pennant, currently on loan to Birmingham City, has today pleaded guilty to drink-driving, driving while disqualified, and driving without insurance by Aylesbury magistrates court. Pennant received a sentence of three months imprisonment. Pennant’s lawyer, Bary Warbutton, has said that the footballer will appeal against the severity of the sentence.

The incident occurred on January 23 of this year, Pennant was arrested after crashing teammate Ashley Cole’s car into a lamppost. The 22-year-old claimed that he crashed the car after attempting to operate the car’s Satellite navigation system.

Despite the claim by Warbutton that imprisonment “could completely destroy his career”, Birmingham City have said that they will stand by the player, and help to rehabilitate him. Arsenal released a statement saying that the sentence would not impact the player’s future with the club; his contract with club expires in the summer, at the same time as his loan-spell with Birmingham ends.

Insider Tips: Selecting A Go Zone Property Manager

Submitted by: Michael Zari

INTRODUCTION

In Part 1 of this series, we went over some of the basics for getting an tenant into your newly purchased GO Zone property. Then in Part 2 of this series, we detailed the different options for marketing, getting a tenant, and managing your property and also went into the situation where you have a builder leaseback presented to you. In this part of the series, we discuss the steps involved with finding and hiring a GO Zone Property Manager.

MITIGATING THE CHICKEN AND EGG SCENARIO

When hiring a full service Property Manager to help lease-up and manage your GO Zone property, you will always face the inevitable chicken and egg situation. This situation holds true even outside of the GO Zone. Typically, you will need to sign a property management agreement with the group. This is typically for a 1-year period. Once this agreement is in place, then the property manager will start to market your property for you.

Hence the chicken and egg scenario. How do you know how good they will be at quickly finding you a quality tenant before you sign the agreement with them and become fully committed to them. Wearing the hat of the property manager now, they are typically not willing to expend efforts marketing your property and finding potential tenants for you unless you have fully committed to using their services.

The way to mitigate this as best you can it to do your homework in advance. Some of the suggested steps to help you in this situation include:

1. Connect with other GO Zone investors;

2. Get suggestions from GO Zone property experts and other professionals in the area;

3. Research available GO Zone property managers; and

4. Select your GO Zone property manager, get under contract, and have them working on your property as soon as possible.

STARTING POINT

One of the best ways to start the process in selecting a GO Zone property manager is to as others who have already done their homework and have had some experience along these lines. This may include other GO Zone investors that you already know. If you do not know of any off the top of your head, ask the real estate broker (if you used one) who first introduced you to the GO Zone property you are considering.

Another option here would be to go to the GO Zone experts. With the shameless self-plug of being in the GO Zone since day 1, you need to get with a group who knows the area and knows who the best managers are in a certain locale. As part of our due diligence in the Mississippi GO Zone, for example, we at GoZoneOnline.com have interacted with almost every property manager in the area. We know who the pros are and who to avoid.

THE INTERVIEW

As part of your due diligence and selection process, you should have narrowed down the field to your top 2 or 3 GO Zone property managers. In order to select the GO Zone property manager that will work for you, I strongly recommend that you talk with your candidates and find out the more information on each of them. Suggested topics include

1. Their GO Zone property management experience;

2. The number of properties under management;

3. Are they locally based in your property’s locale;

4. The number of vacant properties they currently have;

5. How they will advertise your property;

6. How do they interact with you as a client (reporting, payments, etc.)

7. How many new properties do they envision adding in the next few months

8. What are their fees/charges to lease-up and manage your GO Zone property.

** The last point is somewhat unique to the GO Zone. Given the investor interest in the area (50% bonus depreciation, etc.), there are a lot of investors who will be purchasing in the area. The overwhelming majority of investors are then going to property managers and getting their help in leasing up their GO Zone property. As a result, the timing of the available inventory plays a part in your selection.

If you have a property manager who is faced with filling 50 or more properties at one time may be overwhelmed with inventory; A property manager with too many properties on the table may struggle to focus on your property unless they have adequate personnel to do so.

SELECTION AND AGREEMENTS

Once you have selected your GO Zone property manager, it is time to then get them under contract. Make sure that you read through all the agreements before committing to a group. And, as part of a normal list of things to do, make sure that you keep a copy of all signed contracts or agreements that you enter into. This should be part of your standard “to do” list.

MATERIAL PARTICIPATION

In one of the previous parts of this series, we mentioned the need to “materially participate” in the management of your GO Zone property. This can not be stressed enough, especially to get the GO Zone tax benefits.

While this is definitely a discussion for you and your CPA, many GO Zone investors are keeping an active hand in all key decisions and updates so that they can actually materially participate in the overall process. Make sure that you discuss this with your GO Zone property manager as they may also have some suggestions for you along these lines.

RENT-2-OWN

Another option that is available for you would be to get a Rent-2-Own tenant in place. Also know as a Lease-Option tenant, renting the property to someone who would ultimately like to own the property definitely has its advantages. Make sure to also discuss these possibilities with your GO Zone property manager early on as it may change how they market your property for you.

LEASEBACK

We have touched on this topic previously and it is worth mentioning here again. With this option, you have the lease-up and management all in place and lined up before you even close on your GO Zone property. In addition to cash flow from day 1 (i.e. nor rent-up period) and no need for GO Zone property management fees (since working direct with a builder), there are distinct advantages to having the ultimate tenant in your property; you have someone in your property paying you to use your home as a model home.

Said another way, your GO Zone property is now being visited by people who want to purchase homes in that very area. Think that they may be interested in purchasing yours as well? Consider it as a added option for your GO Zone property exit strategy.

SUMMARY

Throughout this series, we went over some of the key points and insider tips to putting your GO Zone property into rental service and, more importantly, getting the most out of your investment and putting cash flow into your pockets as soon as possible.

Cyclone Clare batters Western Australia

Tuesday, January 10, 2006

The eye of Cyclone Clare, a category three storm hit the Western Australian coastline at 11PM AWST on Monday (3PM Monday UTC).

Cyclone Clare crossed the coast 100Km north of Karratha, battering the Pilbara region with winds up to 195 km/h.

Initially it was predicted that the storm would hit the coast at around 9PM local time, but the storm slowed from 18 to 12 km/h delaying its arrival for two hours.

A large storm surge had been predicted, but forecasters say it is unlikely to eventuate. The sea is predicted to swell by only two to three metres.

Reports from the area advise that electricity supply has failed, but there has been no major structural damage to buildings and no injuries. Crews are assessing damage in Karratha and Dampier following Clare. Work teams are in the process of restoring electricity and telephone services.

Earlier today residents of Karratha and Dampier were advised to stay indoors due to flying debris caused by strong winds and the possibility of power lines being down. This advisory has since been lifted. The Bureau of Meteorology has advised residents to “proceed with caution”.

As the storm moves inland it continues to lose strength, being downgraded to a category two storm earlier today (10:00AM AWST) when it neared the town of Pannawonica. Winds were up to 140 km/h. The storm has since been downgraded again, to a category one storm.

The main concern now is for flooding due to heavy rain.

Lynne Nanini from Main Roads’s Pilbara office said the rain that follows may be more troublesome than the cyclone itself.

“We’re mainly concerned about any rainfall that may eventuate out of Tropical Cyclone Clare and as in the past, a few cyclones that we’ve had, most of our damage is actually caused by flooding.” she said.

Tip # 1 to keep lawn free of weeds: Apply Weed-suppressing mulch

Along the same lines as, you could use a contact weedkiller (prior to sowing).

Tip # 2 manual de-weeding

To accomplish this, some folks prefer to use a fork (or Gardening Franchises Businesses For Sale de-weeding available at the local green nursery).

Gently push the fork (or whatever tool you are using), about an inch-and-a-half into the soil roughly a centimetre away from base of the weed. Then press your hand downwards so the fork (or tool) lifts out the weed along with the root.

Tip # 3 Home Remedies – Salt and Vinega

If you are the Earth-friendly type and hate to use chemicals, then this remedy is for you. Salt and Vinegar makes an excellent weed killer. Just combine one cup of salt (table salt will do), with 2 cups of Vinegar, stir the mixture well and then pour it directly on weeds.

They are cheap, useful, and very plentiful, and that is exactly the problem, according to researchers. A report issued on Feb. 23 by a cadre of environment and economics researchers suggested that Kenya should ban the common plastic bag that one gets at the checkout counter of grocery stores, and place a levy on other plastic bags, all to combat the country’s environmental problems stemming from the bags’ popularity.

5-year old American girl dies after visiting the dentist

Friday, September 29, 2006

Diamond Brownridge, a 5-year old girl from Chicago, Illinois, has died after a visit to the dentist. Children’s Memorial Hospital officials say that the girl was rushed to the hospital when she never woke up after being sedated for a dental procedure. She had been in a coma, on life support, since being admitted to the hospital early in the weekend.

“She passed very peacefully and beautifully,” said the hospital in a statement that the family issued.

Ommettress Travis, the mother of the girl, was asked not to remain inside the room while dentists were operating on the girl to repair two cavities and to have at least two caps replaced. Travis says after thirty minutes she was asked to come back in and found Brownridge not breathing, in the dentist chair.

Hicham Riba, a specialist and professional in anesthesia, who was also licensed, was the dentist in charge of the procedure.

“My family and I are so sad. May God bless Diamond and her family. Every time you have a tragedy like this, you pray more. I don’t think I will ever go back to a normal life after an experience like this,” Riba said in a statement on Wednesday, September 28.

According to the family, the girl had been given at least a triple dose of medicine that sedated her. Those drugs include: nitrous oxide gas, a single dose of an “oral agent” and an IV.

A judge has ordered that all equipment and materials used during the operation be protected and examined. The girl’s medical records have also been ordered to be examined.

There is no word on whether or not any charges will be filed against Riba or any of the dentist’s staff.
