When the sun goes down, Cairo bursts to life. Men play backgammon and smoke water pipes. Young fashionistas meet friends for midnight coffees. Families go shopping with small kids in tow.
Life in the Egyptian capital is lived at night. Last year, one study rated Cairo the "most 24-hour city" in the world. New York City trailed far behind at No. 32.
But Cairenes might soon be forced to call it a night early. Electricity shortages left Egyptians dealing with rolling blackouts throughout the blistering summer and now the government plans to force shops to shut down at 10 p.m. and restaurants at midnight to save energy.
At 10:30 p.m., Om Radwan is picking out a puffy winter jacket for her daughter. She holds her child's hand as she haggles with the shop owner. Other women shop nearby as merchants hawk their wares.
We don't have enough electricity. We don't have enough gas. I can't leave power turned on all night and people on the street all night. It doesn't work. There isn't enough electricity.
"We like the noise, the liveliness, being together," Radwan says. "If the city shuts down early the streets will be for thieves, and mothers like me will stay home."
The Ministry of Local Development plans to implement the new rules soon. But this energy-saving plan has been met with anger and defiance.
A Blow To Business
Ahmed El Wakeel, the head of the Chamber of Commerce in Cairo, told a state-run newspaper the decision will further decimate the Egyptian economy, with expected losses of $4.1 billion.
Unemployment will rise and the already faltering tourism industry will take a hit, he said. The chamber issued a statement calling the decision by the Ministry of Local Development illegal.
Local Development Minister Ahmed Zaki Abdeen explained the choice he made on a talk show this past week.
"We don't have enough electricity. We don't have enough gas. I can't leave power turned on all night and people on the street all night. It doesn't work," he said. "There isn't enough electricity."
Will Shops Comply?
For laborers, the news is a welcome change. Some work a more than 16-hour day at shops, with no overtime payments. For them this change means rest. Abdel Nabi Ahmed works from 10 a.m. until after midnight every day.
"Human beings need a mental break," he says, sitting on a plastic chair in a crowded popular market in downtown Cairo. "We need calm."
But his co-workers laugh at the idea that the government thinks it can change Cairo. They jokingly call their boss Omar Suleiman, a reference to the man who was Egypt's long-time spy chief under the former president, Hosni Mubarak. They are sure he won't allow the shop to close down early.
"Impossible," says salesman Yahia Ahmed. "No one will heed the calls. My boss wants to make money. He'll stop anyone from trying to shut him down."
In the upscale neighborhood of Zamalek, cafe waiters serve coffee, juice, food and different fruit-flavored tobacco in water pipes to the 24-hour clientele. The manager, Wagdy Hamdy, scoffs at the new rule.
"No one goes to bed at 10 o'clock," Hamdy says. "This is the nature of Cairo."
He points to his stylish customers, smoking water pipes across the street from the Nile. Midnight had come and gone and still the outdoor tables are full.
Every night Cairo is chaotic, lively and overwhelming. If it shuts down early, most people here say it just won't be Cairo.

The Light Is Leaving Us All - Large Cabinet Card 98
I created several hundred of these pieces, using original late-19th, and early 20th-century Victorian and Edwardian cabinet cards, primarily British. On each of them I painted THE LIGHT leaving the Quick and the Dead. The majority of these pieces formed one of the main installations of my exhibition Invocation Of Almost at the Begovich Gallery, in California. They will stay as one unit in the installation.
Not all the pieces went to the Begovich Gallery, however, as I carried on painting them after all my artwork had left for California. So I am offering some for purchase here. The Henry Boxer Gallery will also have a selection of different images.
Each photograph is titled, and signed, in white ink on the back by me.
105mm x 165mm
Sizes are approximate; the dimensions of the majority of pieces in this section are as noted, but some may be a bit smaller, or a bit bigger. If you want to know the exact size before purchasing, please contact email@example.com with details of the photograph in which you are interested.
Please note - "Signed-For" (within the UK) or "Insured" (for anywhere outside the UK) delivery MUST be chosen at check-out. Otherwise the order will be cancelled and the payment refunded.

This guide is about driving safely on motorways and is for all vehicles. It includes important knowledge from the Highway Code that you will need in your theory test.
A motorway is a multi-laned road with traffic separated by a central reservation.
Provisional licence holders are only allowed to drive on a motorway with an Approved Driving Instructor. You'll need to get used to the speed of traffic and how to deal with multiple lanes. The Pass Plus scheme has been created for new drivers, and includes motorway driving. Ask your ADI for details.
Motorbikes under 50cc are not allowed on the motorway as they are not capable of keeping up with the traffic flow. Learner drivers, tractors, horses and cyclists must not use motorways either. Vehicles towing trailers are not allowed in the right-hand lane of a three-lane motorway.
Motorways will sometimes have crawler lanes on the left for slow vehicles so that they don't hold up the flow of traffic up steep hills. If you see a crawler lane sign you can expect a long uphill gradient and you should be prepared to change down a gear or two to maintain your speed.
When joining a motorway you have to give way to other vehicles already on the motorway. Match your speed and signal your intention so that other drivers know what you are doing. Merge like a zip, i.e. one car from the slip road, one car already on the motorway, one car from the slip road, one car already one the motorway, and so on.
If you are travelling along the motorway and see traffic entering from a slip road, move to the middle lane until you are past the slip road, then move back if you are not overtaking vehicles. If you are travelling at the same speed as the merging traffic, let them merge like a zip.
Motorway slip road entrances are marked like this:
You must only use the right-hand lane of a motorway for overtaking other vehicles, unless you are directed there because there's an accident, emergency or roadworks.
You must not overtake on the left unless traffic is in slow-moving queues and your queue is moving faster than the one on the right.
When you want to overtake from the left lane check over your shoulder in the far right lane in case any traffic is moving back into the centre lane which is where you want to move to.
Highways Agency Traffic Officers are allowed to stop and direct anyone on a motorway. Highways Agency Traffic Officers (HATOs) are able to stop and direct traffic on most motorways and some 'A' class roads. They work in partnership with the police at motorway incidents and provide a highly trained and visible service. Their role is to help keep traffic moving and make your journey as safe and reliable as possible. They are recognised by an orange and yellow jacket and their vehicle has yellow and black markings.
If you see the following sign it will be on the back of a road safety vehicle and you can pass on its left.
Emergencies and breakdowns
The only time you are allowed to stop on a motorway is in an emergency or breakdown, if directed to by a Highways Agency Traffic Officer/police officer, or if red lights show in every lane (in which case you must stop). While vehicle traffic might come to a standstill in a traffic jam, you must not leave your vehicle.
If you have a breakdown or a puncture try to guide your vehicle to the hard shoulder. If you can't and you end up stranded in a lane, turn on your hazard warning lights.
You can only stop on the hard shoulder in an emergency. You are not allowed to use the hard shoulder as a lane unless variable traffic signals advise of it via an Active Traffic Management scheme, and you are not allowed to stop on the hard shoulder to answer your mobile phone.
Due to the danger from passing traffic you should park as far to the left as you can if you have a breakdown or puncture and leave the vehicle by the nearside door. Do not attempt even simple repairs. Instead walk to an emergency telephone on your side of the road and phone for assistance. While waiting for assistance to arrive wait near your vehicle, keeping well away from the carriageway and hard shoulder.
Emergency telephones
To find the nearest emergency telephone walk to the nearest marker post. They are 100m apart and will show you the direction of the closest one.
When you are using an emergency telephone on the motorway you should always face traffic so that you can see any dangers coming. Traffic is passing you at speed. If the draught from a large lorry catches you by surprise it could blow you off balance and even onto the carriageway. By facing the oncoming traffic you can see approaching lorries and so be prepared for their draught. You are also in a position to see other hazards approaching.
Emergency telephones are sometimes linked to the police and sometimes to a Highways Agency control centre. They are often better to use than mobile phones because they can provide an exact location to police and highway agencies because each phone has a unique number.
Emergency Refuge Areas
An Emergency Refuge Area is an area on a motorway for use in cases of emergency or breakdown. Emergency Refuge Areas may be found at the side of the hard shoulder about 500 metres apart. If you break down you should use them rather than the hard shoulder if you are able. When re-joining the motorway you must remember to take extra care especially when the hard shoulder is being used as a running lane within an Active Traffic Management area. Try to match your speed to that of traffic in the lane you are joining.
After a breakdown you need to rejoin the main carriageway of a motorway from the hard shoulder. You should gain speed on the hard shoulder before moving out onto the carriageway. Indicate your intention and try to match the speed of traffic on the motorway, but don't force your way in; wait for a gap.
Hazard warning lights
If traffic has slowed suddenly, use your hazard warning lights to warn drivers behind you so that they don't run into you.
Roadworks and hazards
Contraflow systems could be used on motorways when repairs are needed, or if there's a serious accident that blocks the motorway. In this case you should slow down and leave plenty of room to the vehicle ahead.
Signs such as the one below might instruct you that a lane is closed.
The following sign means that all lanes are closed.
And this sign means that the right-hand lane is closed.
This sign means the end of a restriction such as a lane closure.
This sign means that you must leave the motorway at the next exit.
Speed limits
The speed limit on a motorway for cars and motorbikes that aren't towing a trailer is 70mph in any of the lanes. Heavy vehicles and vehicles towing trailers are restricted to 60mph.
Variable speed limit signs are used to reduce traffic bunching, which improves the overall flow of traffic on the motorway. Congestion can be reduced by keeping traffic at a constant speed. At busy times maximum speed limits are displayed on overhead gantries. These can be varied quickly depending on the amount of traffic. By keeping to a constant speed on busy sections of motorway overall journey times are normally improved.
Active Traffic Management schemes are intended to reduce congestion and make journey times more reliable. In these areas the hard shoulder may be used as a running lane to ease congestion at peak times or in the event of an incident. It may appear that you could travel faster for a short distance, but keeping traffic flow at a constant speed may improve your journey time.
A mandatory speed limit will be displayed above the lanes, including the hard shoulder. If a red cross is shown above the hard shoulder you must not use it as a lane and it should only be used for emergencies and breakdowns.
The Actively Managed mode is set when all lanes show a speed limit on the gantries over the lanes.
If a red cross is shown above the hard shoulder then you must not use it as a lane. You can be fined £100 and will get 3 penalty points on your licence.
Reading the lanes and signs
Road studs on motorways
- Amber reflective studs are found between the central reservation and the carriageway
- Green reflective studs are found where slip roads join the motorway.
- Red reflective studs are found on the left hand side of the carriageway.
- White reflective studs are found between lanes on the motorway.
Therefore in the left-hand lane you will have red studs on your left and white on your right unless you are passing a slip road in which case there will be green on the left; in the middle lane you will have white studs either side; and in the right-hand lane you will have white on your left and amber on your right.
Countdown markers and advance warnings
The exit from a motorway is indicated by countdown markers. These are positioned 90 metres (100 yards) apart, the first being 270 metres (300 yards) from the start of the slip road. Move into the left-hand lane well before you reach the start of the slip road.
Motorway traffic travels at higher speeds, and advance signs warning of junctions are vital to enable you to be in the correct lane in good time to take your exit. In most cases, one mile before the exit you will see a junction sign with road numbers. Half a mile before the exit the sign will also include the names of places accessible from that junction.
Entering or leaving the motorway
When entering the motorway use the full length of the slip road to get up to speed and match the speed of the traffic already on the motorway. Don't dawdle because if you try to merge with traffic when you are travelling slower than them you will cause them to brake and that will slow all traffic down.
If you miss your exit you are not allowed to reverse back up the motorway – this is illegal. You must continue to the next exit. It's also against the law to cross the central reservation or drive against the traffic flow on a motorway.
When you intend to leave the motorway move into the left hand lane in good time so that you don't risk cutting other drivers off.
You can leave the motorway at rest areas and service stations if you are feeling tired and need to recharge or refuel.

Moore & Associates can help New Home Texas workers against illegal employment practices.
The New Home Texas employment lawyers at Moore & Associates have been assisting clients for almost twenty years, with violations of labor law, employer discrimination actions and unfair compensation. State labor laws must either comply with federal, or national labor laws, or exceed them in order to be legal.
Labor law violations in New Home Texas.
It is prudent to hire experienced employment attorneys in New Home Texas when questionable employment activities arise so they can build a solid case around the facts laid out to them. Common and costly labor law mistakes include violations of:
- Minimum wage and overtime requirements per established employment law,
- Safe working environment for employees,
- Workers' compensation for on the job injuries,
- Employee misclassification,
- Discrimination, or harassment of employees.
New Home Texas Minimum wage and overtime lawyers.
A New Home TX unpaid overtime attorney can make sure employers are adhering to the Federal Labor Standards Act that requires overtime pay of at least one and one-half times the regular rate of pay for hours worked in excess of 40 hours per workweek. Texas law addresses the federal guidelines on minimum hourly wage, meaning nearly all employees must be paid $7.25 an hour for their labor and New Home Texas unpaid overtime lawyers can address deviations from these required practices.
Safe working environment.
The Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) was created to ensure workplace safety for employees. If an employer does not take the appropriate measures to make the workplace safe, they can face OSHA sanctions and fines, along with formal complaints and lawsuits from employees. Employers are responsible for educating employees about all relevant potential hazards on the job and must provide appropriate OSHA training.
New Home Texas Workers' compensation.
Texas requires employers to carry some sort of workers' compensation insurance to pay for work-related injuries. In almost all cases, if a worker sustains an injury while working for a specific employer, that employer must cover the costs related to that injury. These costs include medical fees, rehabilitation fees, and the wages not being earned due to disability. The complaint process may be expedited when an New Home Texas experienced labor law attorney is acting on behalf of an injured employee.
New Home TX Discrimination, harassment of employees.
Federal anti-discrimination laws support many lawsuits brought against employers for age, disability status, gender pay gap, sex, race, religion, national origin, and pregnancy, to name a few and include:
- Title I of Americans With Disabilities Act
- Title VII of the Civil Rights Act
- Pregnancy Discrimination Act
- Equal Pay Act
- Age Discrimination in Employment Act
Workplace discrimination/harassment in New Home TX.
A sexual harassment lawyer in New Home Texas can initiate legal action against workplace discrimination and sexual harassment. There are state and federal laws to protect employees against the harms of those negative interactions, and an experienced New Home TX employment lawyer can be very helpful in explaining avenues of resolve to clients.
- Workplace discrimination occurs when an individual is adversely discriminated against, due to a multitude of factors defined by law.
- Workplace harassment is a form of discrimination that includes unwelcome behaviors by managers, clients, and co-workers, or other workplace associates.
- Employer retaliation includes acts to punish an employee. If an individual is fired because they speak out about harassment and discrimination, they should immediately consult with a New Home TX workplace harassment lawyer to remedy the complaint.
Recognizing retaliation.
Retaliation may come in a series of random acts that detract from an employee's ability to advance in their job, including bad performance reviews, job description changes, micromanagement, exclusions from active projects, or requests to work less hours, resulting in pay cuts and cases of unjust termination.
Employees can make informal complaints to their employer, file a formal complaint, file a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and/or State Commission on Human Rights Division, or hire a New Home Texas wrongful termination attorney to file a lawsuit when attempts to complain about negative workplace behavior results in retaliatory acts, including job loss.
Fair compensation.
The Federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) is administered by the Wage and Hour Division and sets standards for minimum wages, overtime pay, time keeping records, and child labor. If an employer is not paying the minimum wage and overtime wages in accordance with Federal laws, it may be illegal, depending on an individual's work status, and the type of business where they are employed. An experienced unpaid wage attorney in New Home Texas can help with the recovery of earnings for Texas employees.
An employer may attempt to by-pass federal overtime law by telling an employee that they are working in a "salaried" position. They will then attempt to pay workers a lump sum total of 40 hours' worth of minimum wage, and claim that they are not required to pay overtime compensation, which is in clear violation of overtime laws. If an individual feels they have a strong case against an employer, they should contact a New Home Texas unpaid wage lawyer.
Overtime exemption.
Not all employers are required by law to pay overtime wages, although exceptions are rare. The Fair Labor Standards Act requires companies with over $500,000 in annual sales and those that participate in interstate commerce, or business between states, to pay their workers an overtime wage. Employers in New Home Texas are required to follow the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act that governs minimum hourly wages, overtime wages, duration of pay periods, appropriate payroll deductions, required pay statement information, payment of final wages, and much more.
Damages are awarded to remedy intangible injuries, such as emotional anguish, loss of enjoyment of life, inconvenience, pain and suffering, injury to professional community standing, injury to reputation, injury to credit and loss of health. Economic damages are easier to quantify and include potential moving expenses, job search expenses, medical expenses, behavioral health expenses, and out-of-pocket expenses directly related to the negative employer practices.
Seek legal counsel.
If an individual believes they are the victim of any labor law violations, they should immediately contact Moore & Associates to discuss options against unfair employment practices. New Home Texas discrimination lawyers will review the case and devise a strategy to recover damages.

Article 1 : Name
European Federation of Catholic Married Priests. Abbreviated to 'Married Priests. Europe'
Article 2 : Office
The committee can transfer the secretary's address.
Article 3 : Objectives and perspectives
The particular aim of the
European Federation is the renewal of ministries with a view to the renewal of
the church as it works towards a more just world.
The Federation wishes to promote this awareness and
commitment. The groups who are members
of the Federation consider it necessary to renew the ministries within the
Catholic Church particularly in the following directions :
1. There should be an absolute
priority of the person over the law :
- A refusal of all discrimination, whether due to
marriage, gender, age or sexual orientation.
- The suppression of any obligatory link between one's
status in life and one's function, particularly the obligation of celibacy for
- The right of everyone, including the priest, to
exercise whatever profession he desires, to chose his social commitments and to
strive in the political arena.
- The granting of all dispensations at the time of a
change of status or function for reasons of conscience.
2. There should be an absolute priority of the community
over the ministries :
- The right of the community
to benefit from the ministries which are suited to it.
- Freedom of access to
functions, ministries and services whenever the community feels the need and
demands it.
3. There should be a dimension
of democratic sharing :
- A recognition of the
fundamental equality of all the baptised as the basis of a truly democratic
order and of a participation at all levels of decision making.
- An insistence on the
obligations linked to every engagement in responsibility and service.
4. There should be
solidarity with every struggle for justice :
- An option for the poor and
the marginalised in our countries and in the third world.
- Support for the struggle to
recognise the equality of women and men in the church.
- A welcome for and help for
priests in the process of secularisation and to women and children who are
victims of the law of celibacy.
Article 4 : Members
The members of the Federation
are the different member groups. Though
diverse, these groups are composed, at least in part, of married priests and
their wives, or historically they
have been constituted as such. These
groups can be open to others who share their objectives. They have in common also their European
setting and their willingness to respond in a collaborative fashion which is
linked to the objectives of the Federation.
These groups participate in
the Federation on the following conditions:
- Agreement with the
objectives and respect for the statutes of the Federation.
- Acceptance of their
candidature by the committee of the Federation.
- Payment of the annual
subscription fixed by the committee.
Article 5 : The Organisation of the Federation
1. The European Federation functions in the form of a coordinating committee which is made up of representatives of the member groups. Each group will send one delegate for a minimal period of two years.
2. In its work the committee will always seek for a consensus. Where there is a difficulty and one is obliged to take a vote, each country has three votes, whatever the number of groups it represents. Decisions are then taken according to a two thirds majority of those countries present or represented. XXXXXX
3. The decisions have force of law for the member groups.
4. The committee designates internally a president, a secretary and a treasurer.
5. The committee meets at least once a year on the invitation of the president and the secretary.
6. The expenses for the working of the committee are the responsibility of the Federation, but the expenses of the members are the responsibility of the groups who send them.
Article 6 : Tasks of the Committee
The committee is a place of exchange and collaboration. Its task is to maintain relationships with the groups and to promote contacts between them. More precisely it has the following tasks:
1. To circulate information not only in the committee but between the groups and to a wider public.
2. To initiate research, study and the sharing of experiences in keeping with the objectives of the European Federation.
3. To convene and organise meetings and educational opportunities which could be open to others depending on the theme chosen.
4. To take an official position in the name of the European Federation on subjects which are in keeping with its objectives.
5. To delegate a representative and a substitute to the Confederation with a mandate of two years, renewable only once.
6. To establish contacts with other associations and networks which are working at the European level.
7. To be attentive to non member groups and to those that come into being.
8. To assume responsibility for the web site of the Federation and to designate the administrator.
9. To establish the budget of the Federation, fix the annual subscription and audit the accounts at least once a year.
Article 7 : Communications
The communication of information is an essential function of the Federation. The committee will undertake and invest in the means to arrive at this end: A web site regularly kept up to date and the communication of information for publication in the bulletins of the member groups. The three official languages of the Federation are English, Spanish and French.
Article 8 :
If it is proposed by the committee, these statutes may be revised subject to the approval of the members who will endeavour to reach agreement. If they cannot reach agreement then a 2/3 majority is needed.

The Cutest Misspellings of "Happy Birthday" I Have Ever Seen
Thursday, December 11, 2008
This was given to Erik's buddy over in Iraq, where the locals guards had nicknamed him Omar. Yes, it says "Hippy barth day". Tell me that doesn't make you want to squeeze its lil' icing cheeks - go on.
JB tells me this adorable little morsel came from a restaurant in Taipan:
"Epi Burfday"
UPDATE: Some of you are taking issue with my "Taipan" spelling. (The gall!) So just to clear this up: no, I did not misspell it, and no, I don't know where it is. All I can say is that's what was written in the e-mail. Is it possible JB meant Taiwan? Sure. Do I care? Not so much.
86 comments | Post a Comment
Oh, that is fantastic, Epi Burfday! When I first looked at it, I thought it said Epi Barfday.
- December 11, 2008 at 9:41 AM
I can sort of understand the misspellings when English is not your first language...it's the ones that come from the US that just boggle my mind!

I thought the second one said Epi Barfday, which I would love even more.
- December 11, 2008 at 9:42 AM
In the "Epi" cake makers' defense, it could be a play on the Loius Vuitton epi bags' finish... lol. seemingly though it's probably just prain Engrish...

Those are cute. I love the Engrish website.
word verification: mangsho: a show featuring mangs. - December 11, 2008 at 9:56 AM
Well...I think they at least get an A for effort. Phonetics are hell.
- December 11, 2008 at 10:01 AM
"Epi Burfday"...but they get "beloved" right? Still scratching my head over that one.
- December 11, 2008 at 10:04 AM
To be fair... These were done by non-English-speakers in non-English-speaking countries. I would like to see an American decorator try to write out "happy birthday" in Arabic. (Then again, they have enough problems with their own language...)

Have a "hippy" day wreckers!! - December 11, 2008 at 10:14 AM
Where's the wreck? Can you really hold it against them for trying? I mean Engrish is not their first language obviously and they are cute cakes otherwise (unlike the monstrosities of yesterday)

word of the day: Binge....hmmmm...

engrish cakes! two of my favorite things, together at last.
- December 11, 2008 at 10:41 AM
I looked at the cakes.
I kept looking for some time.
And I started laughing helplessly.
You can't even get mad at the misspellings, they're so cute. >_> - December 11, 2008 at 10:43 AM

Epi Barfday? That would be the cake for my son with multiple food allergies: first he vomits, then we get the epi-pen. (I've got to keep a sense of humor, since he only gets homemade, but allergen free, wrecks on his barfdays.)

wouldn't you love to see one that said "hippy barfday"?
- December 11, 2008 at 10:56 AM
But there's so much more to comment on! How about the weird dirt sprinkles on that first cake! And the horrible piping on the second! Too much! Too much wreckiness!

- Bookstore Piet said...
Perhaps they could add an epi pen as a decoration. You never know when someone may have a 'reaction' to the cake...
- December 11, 2008 at 11:07 AM
- Chelle said...
I too, thought it said barfday, which I naturally thought was hilariousity, as that is my favourite dorkism to write in people's cards.
- December 11, 2008 at 11:24 AM
Got a card once that said "hippo birdy". I thought the "beloved" on the second cake was worth an awwww..
- December 11, 2008 at 11:27 AM
A taipan is an Antipodean venemous snake. I think you mean the capital of Taiwan! :)
- December 11, 2008 at 11:28 AM
Well, as other people say, these are two non-English speakers and two non-Roman-Alphabet users to boot.
I like the marks in the frosting on the second one. The criss-cross is very attractive. - December 11, 2008 at 11:32 AM

You never know when something like this is a deliberate act, a recording in icing of a family's particular silliness. We always say, "Hippo, birdy, two ewes" or else spell it the way Owl did in Winnie the Pooh: HIPY PAPY BTHUTHDTH THUTHDA

Those are pathetically cute. LOL
~Amy B - December 11, 2008 at 12:02 PM
I just knew that first cake was baked and decorated with a pronounced Arabic accent! It's really rather cute. Many Arabs are very good at presenting food with decorative flourishes. The spelling mistakes merely reflect their pronunciation of English. The crushed pistachios are another particularly Arabic touch, and very yummy!

Nothing like celebrating your barfday with a beatuiful cake wreck. Lovely!
- December 11, 2008 at 12:31 PM
The crushed pistachios on that first cake are weirding me out. You can always eat a misspelling, but the random stuff sprinkled on the top is really bothering me.
- December 11, 2008 at 12:52 PM
"Hippy barth day" is so amusing! But if English is their first language, where did that come from? But I still like it. I want to use it.
And I thought the second one said "Epi barfday" at first... lol - December 11, 2008 at 12:54 PM
Epi burfday...first thought was that the recipient had bad allergies and was being given a last ditch warning before digging in :)
- December 11, 2008 at 1:09 PM

I want a cake that says "Hippy Barth Day"!!

Wow, I am really impressed they can produce something that elaboreate in Iraq! They do not exactly have the facilities...
- December 11, 2008 at 1:17 PM
- jengersnap said...
At first I thought "Epi" must be the recepiant's name, and I was looking for the standard "happy" elsewhere on the cake. On the plus side, that cake decorator has mad thatching skills. But blood red on chocolate? Gag.
WV: litabami
No no...I said they need a lobotomy, not a litabami... - December 11, 2008 at 1:33 PM
I've heard of Taiwan and I've heard of Taipei (its capital), but, pray, where in the world is "Taipan"?
Jen, have you been guilty of a mis-spelling yourself?? Ouch! - December 11, 2008 at 1:45 PM
- Arallyn said...
ahhh Taipan...I love living inside a snake ;D perhaps it was from Taipei?
that second one looks deliciously chocolaty. mmmmmm. - December 11, 2008 at 1:57 PM
- Mella said...
At least it's not epi barfday
- December 11, 2008 at 2:00 PM
Makes you want to see how they'd do with "Congratulations" or "Anniversary" Put this one in the "A for Effort Category."
- December 11, 2008 at 2:21 PM
- Suzanne Dargie said...
What I love most about the "Epi Burfday" cake is the cool design in the icing. It looks like it was done with a fork turned this way then that....kinda like when you're making peanut-butter cookies. Seriously, it looks good!

Srsly, I thought Taipan was someplace in Japan before I saw your disclaimer you added to the bottom of the post. People need to lighten up. *coughMJcough*
I, too, think that these misspellings are sort of adorable. And both cakes look delicious. Yum...cake... - December 11, 2008 at 3:42 PM
- Amy said...
I was always told that natives to Taiwan call it Taipan.
And at the end of the day who cares?
Both are cute cakes. They're wrecks, but they are forgivable wrecks! - December 11, 2008 at 3:54 PM
- Denise said...
That first one looks like it was used as an ashtray.
- December 11, 2008 at 4:00 PM
@Allergy Mom - yeah that was my initial reaction (no pun intended) as well. I saw "Epi Barfday" and I thought "Hey yeah that's what happens to me when I have peanuts!" I just didn't know how to articulate it.
Maybe since we've had an insulin pen cake we can get an Epipen cake now? - December 11, 2008 at 4:27 PM
I don't understand why people have to comment everyday just as an opportunity to plug their own blog/website (especially when it isn't that interesting anyway).
I come to this blog because I LOVE it. It makes me smile, it makes me laugh out loud. I share it with friends. I comment occasionally. And I don't mind commenting anonymously because I'm not here to plug myself.
tbh...I don't have any of the applicable accounts anyway.

Could it be this Taipan? http://www.taipan-bakery.com
- December 11, 2008 at 5:13 PM
Okay I did some further Google sleuthing. It appears that this purposeful misspelling "epi burfday" is popular in Malaysia. But it's not clear from my Googling if there is a Taipan in Malaysia. Some links seem to indicate that it might be a section of Kuala Lumpur.
- December 11, 2008 at 5:47 PM
My first thought was maybe they meant Saipan, which a pacific island that is some kind of US protectorate or territory or whatever.

Taipan Bakeries are a chain bakery. There are several in New York city, I can think of three off the top of my head. One I've seen in Manhattan (Chinatown), two in Queens (Flushing).

- American Girl in Japan said...
I just have to post a comment as I've been lurking forEVER. This is such a precious post. And, it may very well be Taipan...which is a community in Phuket. Or, they could have been by a Taipan, which is a poisonious snake. Or maybe not :)
- December 11, 2008 at 6:38 PM
- Merla said...
I would suggest that 'Hippy Barthday' isn't actually a misspelling but a joke; I've seen it before (heck, I've written it before) in cards. It's a goofy way of saying it.
Maybe it's just an English thing, or just between my circle of friends... Not sure it's a wreck though. :) - December 11, 2008 at 6:44 PM
- Jessica said...
Taipan is the name of a Chinese bakery chain here in NYC; not sure if there are any outside the city. I don't think I've seen that chocolate style there before though, they usually have fruit on their cakes.
- December 11, 2008 at 6:50 PM
- whirlygirly said...
Those are cute! And both cakes look really good, too.
Reminds me of the time my daughter tried to write on a cake using one of those crappy frosting tubes from the grocery store. Ever since, my family has wished each other "Harpy Birddog." - December 11, 2008 at 7:35 PM

I like the words "Epi Burfday" !!! is cute and creative.. it might be their local language though.. =)
- December 11, 2008 at 8:44 PM
I'm from Malaysia and there's an area in the capital state of Kuala Lumpur (K.L.) called Taipan.

Oh ho ho, Jen has been hoisted with her own petard! How many decorators of these lol-funny cake wrecks have said, "Do I care? Not so much." I think that was the mantra of the Bush Administration, wasn't it?
- December 11, 2008 at 11:25 PM
I don't see any wreckiness here, I think they are both pretty touching. English isn't their first (or perhaps even second) language but they are attempting an approximation of the sound of the words. Most people whose first language is English would likely struggle to do one Arabic or Chinese character, let alone spell an entire phrase correctly.

Taipei is in Taiwan

- Stephanie said...
Taipan exists; it's in China (and no, I am not thinking of Taiwan).
- December 15, 2008 at 7:07 AM
There are also stores here in NZ called "Taipan"...
Just as a note too, about the whole "English not first language" thing, for those fluent in English, you have NO IDEA just how difficult it is to pronounce the "th" sound for non-natives. Srsly! Although...tbh I found it hilarious all the same. At first I thought it read "barfday" too... lol
I have to commend the decorator for the second cake- I like the thatchwork effect. Looks quite neat. - December 16, 2008 at 9:45 PM
I actually wonder if the first one was meant to say 'Hippy Bathday' - my friends say this quite a lot (because 'it only happens once a year' and everything) and was ordered by somebody from the south of England, where they say 'barth' instead of 'bath'.
I may be stretching it, here. - January 15, 2009 at 10:34 AM
- Jenna Lynn Cody said...
I live in Taiwan!
"Taipan" doesn't exist here. The locals call Taiwan "Taiwan" in Chinese or "Daiwan" in Taiwanese. "Taipei" is "Taibei" in Chinese and "Daiba" in Taiwanese, so wherever this Taipan is, it's not in Taiwan.
Besides, this cake would have come from an urban area if it came from Taiwan (small towns have bakeries but not professional cake decorators). In the major cities, most people have taken English classes from junior high through high school and can spell "Happy Birthday". A bakery willing to make this cake would have someone on staff who can write out simple phrases in English.
Trust me! - March 5, 2009 at 9:48 AM
Oh my gosh! I recognize the Epi Burfday cake!
Taipan is actually a small district in Malaysia. It's sort of like a cluster of shops, and there's a bakery there called Berry Cake House. "Epi Burfday" is indeed a very popular spelling of Happy Birthday in Malaysia (we DO know how to spell it properly - but for some reason people here like to spell everything "cutely"). The bakery has this form you have to fill out if you want to order a cake, and they'll pipe down whatever you want written down.
Haha, I've actually eaten that cake before.
Even the candles are the same, gosh. - June 26, 2009 at 9:19 AM
Just to clarify- Taipan is a legit place! It's a small town in China and it's also the name of a chinese chain bakery here in the USA. How I know? My parents grew up in Taipan and the bakery is 2 blocks from my apartments.
So... It's possible that it's NOT a misspelling. - July 10, 2009 at 1:17 PM
- veii said...
I'm pretty sure that's Taipan, Malaysia. It's a suburb near the city of Kuala Lumpur. Observe the contraption next to the cake - that's a Korean BBQ fixture, and these are kinda popular in Malaysia right now. Well, it all pans out, I suppose. Adrian's a pretty popular name here and the use of terms like '2 my beloved' seems quite normal around these parts. As for the 'eppi burfday', that too reads like an intended influency. Yes, we still like to think of ourselves as an English speaking people, and no, we don't speak or write it as well as we used to.
- September 22, 2009 at 10:46 AM
The Omar cake is funny - my sister's husband is a doctor from Iraq. When he was working at a hospital in the green zone, the American doctors nicknamed him "Nick." (My fiance and I think this is a Simpsons joke - "Hi, Dr. Nick!")
- October 24, 2009 at 10:19 AM
- Shewholuvs2lol said...
I thought it said Epi Barfday too! Whats especially funny is that they spelled "Beloved" perfectly, which is a more challenging word than "happy"! lol. This group reminds me of the Engrish blog on www.cheezburger.com!
- November 25, 2009 at 7:39 PM
I think, rather than a restaurant in Taipan, the submitter meant Taipan Restaurant. There are many by that name, or Tai Pan Restaurant, in New York, California, Maryland and elsewhere.
It would make sense. - April 20, 2010 at 2:15 PM
- Elaine Withnail said...
Taipan is a chain of Oriental restaurants, maybe that's what they meant?
- April 20, 2010 at 4:33 PM
There are several Chinese-English bakeries called Tai Pan out there; perhaps the Epi Burfday cake came from one of them?
- April 21, 2010 at 10:03 AM
- Unknown said...
Bit late on the uptake, but pretty sure a taipan is a kind of snake. If the cake is make by a snake, I think the misspellings are the least of our worries.

I believe Taipan is the name of a chain of Asian bakeries.

What's a Wreck?
What's a Wreck?
A Cake Wreck is any cake that is unintentionally sad, silly, creepy, inappropriate - you name it. A Wreck is not necessarily a poorly-made cake; it's simply one I find funny, for any of a number of reasons. Anyone who has ever smeared frosting on a baked good has made a Wreck at one time or another, so I'm not here to vilify decorators: Cake Wrecks is just about finding the funny in unexpected, sugar-filled places.
Now, don't you have a photo you want to send me? ;)

Where's the book?
We don't have any copies of Cake Wrecks for sale here, autographed or otherwise. We decided the shipping and handling costs would be too high to make it worth your while. So instead, buy your copies locally or online and then order personalized bookplates: it's cheaper, easier, and I think even looks a bit nicer.

Apache HTTP Server Version 2.4
There are many important points to consider before you begin compiling Apache HTTP Server (httpd). See Using Apache HTTP Server on Microsoft Windows before you begin.
httpd can be built on Windows using a cmake-based build system or with Visual Studio project files maintained by httpd developers. The cmake-based build system directly supports more versions of Visual Studio but currently has considerable functional limitations.
Compiling Apache requires the following environment to be properly installed:
Disk Space
Make sure you have at least 200 MB of free disk space available. After installation Apache requires approximately 80 MB of disk space, plus space for log and cache files, which can grow rapidly. The actual disk space requirements will vary considerably based on your chosen configuration and any third-party modules or libraries, especially when OpenSSL is also built. Because many files are text and very easily compressed, NTFS filesystem compression cuts these requirements in half.
Appropriate Patches
The httpd binary is built with the help of several patches to third party packages, which ensure the released code is buildable and debuggable. These patches are available and distributed from http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/binaries/win32/patches_applied/ and are recommended to be applied to obtain identical results as the "official" ASF distributed binaries.
Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 (Visual Studio 97) or later.
Apache can be built using the command line tools, or from
within the Visual Studio IDE Workbench. The command line
build requires the environment to reflect the PATH
and other variables
that can be configured with the vcvars32.bat
Updated Microsoft Windows Platform SDK, February 2003 or later.
An appropriate Windows Platform SDK is included by default in the full (not express/lite) versions of Visual C++ 7.1 (Visual Studio 2002) and later, these users can ignore these steps unless explicitly choosing a newer or different version of the Platform SDK.
To use Visual C++ 6.0 or 7.0 (Studio 2000 .NET), the Platform SDK
environment must be prepared using the setenv.bat
script (installed by the Platform SDK) before starting the command
line build or launching the msdev/devenv GUI environment. Installing
the Platform SDK for Visual Studio Express versions (2003 and later)
should adjust the default environment appropriately.
"c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\Bin\VCVARS32"
"c:\Program Files\Platform SDK\setenv.bat"
Perl and awk
Several steps recommended here require a perl interpreter during the build preparation process, but it is otherwise not required.
To install Apache within the build system, several files are
modified using the awk.exe
utility. awk was chosen since
it is a very small download (compared with Perl or WSH/VB) and
accomplishes the task of modifying configuration files upon
installation. Brian Kernighan's
site has a compiled native Win32 binary,
http://www.cs.princeton.edu/~bwk/btl.mirror/awk95.exe which
you must save with the name awk.exe
(rather than
from the PATH, or executable path specified in the menu option
Tools -> Options -> (Projects ->) Directories. Ensure
awk.exe is in your system path.gawk.exe
and that the file
is really a symlink to the gawk.exe
file. The Windows command shell does not recognize symlinks, and
because of this building InstallBin will fail. A workaround is
to delete awk.exe
from the cygwin installation and
copy gawk.exe
to awk.exe
. Also note the
cygwin/mingw ports of gawk 3.0.x were buggy, please upgrade to 3.1.x
before attempting to use any gawk port.[Optional] zlib library (for mod_deflate
Zlib must be installed into a srclib
subdirectory named
. This must be built in-place. Zlib can be obtained
from http://www.zlib.net/ -- the
is confirmed to work correctly with
version 1.2.3.
nmake -f win32\Makefile.msc
nmake -f win32\Makefile.msc test
[Optional] OpenSSL libraries (for mod_ssl
and ab.exe
with ssl support)
Configuring and building OpenSSL requires perl to be installed.
OpenSSL must be installed into a srclib
named openssl
, obtained from
http://www.openssl.org/source/, in order to compile
or the abs.exe
project, which
is ab.c with SSL support enabled. To prepare OpenSSL to be linked
to Apache mod_ssl or abs.exe, and disable patent encumbered features
in OpenSSL, you might use the following build commands:
perl Configure no-rc5 no-idea enable-mdc2 enable-zlib VC-WIN32
-Ipath/to/srclib/zlib -Lpath/to/srclib/zlib
nmake -f ms\ntdll.mak
[Optional] Database libraries (for mod_dbd
and mod_authn_dbm
The apr-util library exposes dbm (keyed database) and dbd (query oriented database) client functionality to the httpd server and its modules, such as authentication and authorization. The sdbm dbm and odbc dbd providers are compiled unconditionally.
The dbd support includes the Oracle instantclient package, MySQL, PostgreSQL and sqlite. To build these all, for example, set up the LIB to include the library path, INCLUDE to include the headers path, and PATH to include the dll bin path of all four SDK's, and set the DBD_LIST environment variable to inform the build which client driver SDKs are installed correctly, e.g.;
set DBD_LIST=sqlite3 pgsql oracle mysql
Similarly, the dbm support can be extended with DBM_LIST to build a Berkeley DB provider (db) and/or gdbm provider, by similarly configuring LIB, INCLUDE and PATH first to ensure the client library libs and headers are available.
set DBM_LIST=db gdbm
See the README-win32.txt file for more hints on obtaining the various database driver SDKs.
The policy of the Apache HTTP Server project is to only release Unix sources. Windows source packages made available for download have been supplied by volunteers and may not be available for every release. You can still build the server on Windows from the Unix source tarball with just a few additional steps.
perl srclib\apr\build\lineends.pl
You can now build the server with the Visual Studio development environment using the IDE. Command-Line builds of the server are not possible from Unix sources unless you export .mak files as explained below.
is the top level Apache makefile.
To compile Apache on Windows, simply use one of the following commands
to build the release
or debug
nmake /f Makefile.win _apacher
nmake /f Makefile.win _apached
Either command will compile Apache. The latter will disable optimization of the resulting files, making it easier to single step the code to find bugs and track down problems.
You can add your apr-util dbd and dbm provider choices with the additional make (environment) variables DBD_LIST and DBM_LIST, see the comments about [Optional] Database libraries, above. Review the initial comments in Makefile.win for additional options that can be provided when invoking the build.
Apache can also be compiled using VC++'s Visual Studio
development environment. To simplify this process, a
Visual Studio workspace, Apache.dsw
, is provided.
This workspace exposes the entire list of working .dsp
projects that are required for the complete Apache binary release.
It includes dependencies between the projects to assure that they
are built in the appropriate order.
Open the Apache.dsw
workspace, and select
or Debug
as desired) as the Active Project. InstallBin
causes all
related project to be built, and then invokes Makefile.win
move the compiled executables and dlls. You may personalize the
choice by changing InstallBin
's Settings,
General tab, Build command line entry. INSTDIR
defaults to the
directory. If you only want a test compile (without
installing) you may build the BuildBin
project instead.
The .dsp
project files are distributed in Visual Studio 6.0
(98) format. Visual C++ 5.0 (97) will recognize them. Visual Studio
2002 (.NET) and later users must convert Apache.dsw
the .dsp
files into an Apache.sln
files. Be sure you reconvert the .msproj
file again if its source .dsp
file changes! This is really
trivial, just open Apache.dsw
in the VC++ 7.0 IDE once again
and reconvert.
perl srclib\apr\build\cvtdsp.pl -2005
Visual Studio 2002 (.NET) and later users should also use the Build
menu, Configuration Manager dialog to uncheck both the Debug
and Release
Solution modules abs
and mod_ssl
components, as
well as every component starting with apr_db*
. These modules
are built by invoking nmake
, or the IDE directly with the
target, which builds those modules conditionally
if the srclib
directories openssl
exist, and based on the setting of DBD_LIST
and DBM_LIST
environment variables.
Exported .mak
files pose a greater hassle, but they are
required for Visual C++ 5.0 users to build mod_ssl
abs (ab
with SSL support) and/or
. The .mak files also support a broader
range of C++ tool chain distributions, such as Visual Studio Express.
You must first build all projects in order to create all dynamic
auto-generated targets, so that dependencies can be parsed correctly.
Build the entire project from within the Visual Studio 6.0 (98) IDE,
using the BuildAll
target, then use the Project Menu Export
for all makefiles (checking on "with dependencies".) Run the following
command to correct absolute paths into relative paths so they will build
perl srclib\apr\build\fixwin32mak.pl
You must type this command from the top level
directory of the httpd source tree. Every
and .dep
project file within
the current directory and below will be corrected, and the
timestamps adjusted to reflect the .dsp
Always review the generated .mak
and .dep
files for Platform SDK or other local, machine specific file paths.
The DevStudio\Common\MSDev98\bin\
(VC6) directory contains
a sysincl.dat
file, which lists all exceptions. Update
this file (including both forward and backslashed paths, such as both
and sys\time.h
) to ignore such
newer dependencies. Including local-install paths in a distributed
file will cause the build to fail completely.
If you contribute back a patch that revises project files, we must commit project files in Visual Studio 6.0 format. Changes should be simple, with minimal compilation and linkage flags that can be recognized by all Visual Studio environments.
Once Apache has been compiled, it needs to be installed in
its server root directory. The default is the
directory, of the same drive.
To build and install all the files into the desired folder
dir automatically, use one of the following
nmake /f Makefile.win installr INSTDIR=dir
nmake /f Makefile.win installd INSTDIR=dir
The dir argument to INSTDIR
the installation directory; it can be omitted if Apache is
to be installed into \Apache22
(of the current
files are maintained between release
builds. The .mak
files are NOT regenerated, due to the tremendous
waste of reviewer's time. Therefore, you cannot rely on the NMAKE
commands above to build revised .dsp
project files unless you
then export all .mak
files yourself from the project. This is
unnecessary if you build from within the Microsoft
Developer Studio environment.The primary documentation for this build mechanism is in the
file in the source distribution. Refer to that file
for detailed instructions.
Building httpd with cmake requires building APR and APR-util separately.
Refer to their README.cmake
files for instructions.
The primary limitations of the cmake-based build are inherited from the APR-util project, and are listed below because of their impact on httpd:
and possibly some third-party modules
cannot be used.

Happy New Year, Alan and Kat! I love that picture, and I even have one that it prompts me to write about (Aunt Myra and her turkeys), but I won't be able to participate this week. I have been MIA on Sepia Saturday for awhile and I miss everybody. I have lots of excuses too, beginning with our dog dying and taking the wind of me and then Christmas and now going to San Antonio to watch our grandson Tyler play in the Army All-American game. Just wanted to let you know that I certainly haven't quit and will be back soon! Take care, everybody.

A new year and a new challenge. This one is tough, Alan, as rabbits don't feature much in my collection. But I know something about rabbits as I once had a small black rabbit who made more fuzz than my cat and dog together. Enough to fill a hat. So how about a magical link: rabbits to top hats?

I have a stretch of a tie in to the 1930s. My dad's 80th birthday is tomorrow so I have a series of photos of him!

An appraisal is estimation that concludes an opinion of value. There are three "common approaches to value" which assists the appraiser conclude this opinion or estimate. One of the methods is the Cost Approach - which is how much it would cost to replace the improvements, minus physical deterioration and other factors, then adding the land value. Easily the most common approach in finding the value of a home is the Sales Comparison Approach which deals with making a comparison to similar properties nearby. Generally speaking, the Sales Comparison Approach is the most accurate indicator of worth of a residential property. One of the least common approaches in appraising homes is the Income Approach, which is mainly used to find the value of a property based on what an investor would pay based on the capital produced by the building.
The primary point of an appraiser's job is to produce an unbiased, professional opinion of value to assist with financial transactions. Appraisers show their professional analysis in appraisal reports.
There are many reasons to get an appraisal from M Davies Appraisal LLC with the most common reason being real estate and mortgage transactions. Some other reasons for obtaining an appraisal report include:
Appraisers do not do complete residential property inspections and are not home inspectors. An inspection is a third-party evaluation of the available structure and appliances of a property, from the roof to the bottom. The standard home inspector's report will include an evaluation of the condition of the home's heating systems, central air conditioning system (temperature permitting), interior plumbing and electrical systems; the roof, attic, and accessible insulation; walls, ceilings, floors, windows and doors; the foundation, basement, and visible structure.
Frankly, the difference is night and day. What the CMA depends on are vague trends. An appraisal relies on comparable sales that can be verified by public record. The appraisal report will also contain neighborhood and building values. A CMA delivers a "ball park figure." An appraisal delivers a defensible and carefully documented opinion of value.
But the biggest difference is the person creating the report. A CMA is created by a real estate agent who may or may not have a true grasp of the market or valuation concepts. The appraisal is created by a licensed, certified professional who has made a career out of valuing properties. Further, the appraiser is an independent voice, with no vested interest in the value of a home, unlike the real estate agent, whose income is tied to the value of the home.
Each report must reflect a credible estimate of value and must identify the following:
In communicating an appraisal report, each appraiser must ensure the following:
Most states require that real estate appraisers are state licensed or certified. The state licensed or certified appraiser is trained to render an unbiased opinion based upon extensive education and experience requirements. To become licensed or certified, appraisers must fulfill rigorous education and experience requirements. In addition, appraisers must abide by a strict industry code of ethics and comply with national standards of practice for real estate appraisal. The rules for developing an appraisal and reporting its results are insured by enforcement of the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP).
Regulations regarding licensing and certification of Real Estate Appraisers vary from state to state. However, licensing and certification is most often associated with many hours of coursework, tests and practical experience. Once an appraiser is licensed, he or she is required to take continuing education courses in order to keep the license current.
Typically, appraisers are employed by lenders to estimate the value of real estate involved in a loan transaction. Appraisers also provide opinions in litigation cases, tax matters and investment decisions.
Gathering data is one of the primary roles of an appraiser. Data can be divided into Specific and General. Specific data is gathered from the home itself. Location, condition, amenities, size and other specific data are gathered by the appraiser during an inspection.
General data is gathered from a number of sources. Local Multiple Listing Services (MLS) provide data on recently sold homes that might be used as comparables. Tax records and other public documents verify actual sales prices in a market. Flood zone data is gathered from FEMA data outlets, such as Metro Appraisals' InterFlood product. And most importantly, the appraiser gathers general data from his or her past experience in creating appraisals for other properties in the same market.
Anytime the value of your home or other real property is being used to make a significant financial decision, an appraisal helps. If you're selling your home, an appraisal helps you set the most appropriate value. If you're buying, it makes sure you don't overpay. If you're engaged in an estate settlement or divorce, it ensures that property is divided fairly. A home is often the single, largest financial asset anybody owns. Knowing its true value means you can the right financial decisions.
PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. It insures a lender against loss on homes purchased with a down-payment of less than 20%. Once equity in the home reaches 20% you can eliminate the PMI and start saving immediately.
The first step in most appraisals is the home inspection. During this process, the appraiser will come to your home and measure it, determine the layout of the rooms inside, confirm all aspects of the home's general condition, and take several photos of your house for inclusion in the report. The best thing you can do to help is make sure the appraiser has easy access to the exterior of the house. Trim any bushes and move any items that would make it difficult to measure the structure. On the inside, make sure that the appraiser can easily access items like furnaces and water heaters.
The following Items, if available, will help your appraiser to provide a more accurate appraisal in a shorter period of time:
Market value or fair market value is the most probable price that a property should bring (will sell for) in a competitive and open market under all conditions requisite to a fair sale, the buyer and seller, each acting prudently, knowledgeably and assuming the price is not affected by undue stimulus. Implicit in this definition is the consummation of a sale as of a specified date and the passing of title from seller to buyer under conditions whereby: (1) buyer and seller are typically motivated; (2) both parties are well informed or well advised; (3) a reasonable time is allowed for exposure to the open market; (4) payment is made in terms of cash in U.S. dollars or in terms of financial arrangements comparable thereto; and (5) the price represents the normal consideration for the property sold unaffected by special or creative financing or sales concessions granted by anyone associated with the sale.
In most real estate transactions, the appraisal is ordered by the lender. While the home buyer pays for the report as part of the closing costs, the lender retains the right to use the report or any information contained within. The home buyer is entitled to a copy of the report - it's usually included with all of the other closing documents - but is not entitled to use the report for any other purpose without permission from the lender.
The exception to this rule is when a home owner engages an appraiser directly. In these cases, the appraiser may stipulate how the appraisal can be used; for PMI removal, or estate planning or tax challenges, for example. If not stipulated otherwise, the home owner can use the appraisal for any purpose.
The answer to this is different depending upon the location of the home. Different markets value amenities differently. Adding a central air conditioner in Houston, Texas may add significant value, while putting one in a home located in Buffalo, New York might not have much impact.
As a rule, the most value returned from renovating a home comes in the kitchen. According to one national survey, kitchen remodels returned an average of 88% of the investment. In other words, a $10,000 kitchen remodeling project would add approximately $8,800 to the value of the home. Bathrooms were second, returning 85%.
