Turn off the computer at night or whenever your not using it (whichever one) Unplug hairdryers, hair straighteners, etc. (these still use energy while plugged in) Buy energy efficient lights. Pick up trash in your neighborhood Cut down on junk mail. Spread the word about doing these things to help the earth!

Question: What are your top 10 tips for a first time home buyer? I am thinking of buying a condo or townhouse, but I am scared I will make a mistake. So perhaps you can share your best tips for buying a home.

Answer: This is something that I give all of my first time home buyers... Top 7 Tips for First Time Homebuyers by Eric Bramlett Purchasing your first home is a big step, that comes with some very serious decisions. Many homebuyers are intimidated by the process, and continue renting much longer than they should, or need to. However, if you break the homebuying process down into these simple steps, and follow these important tips, you will find the process less intimidating, and much more manageable. 1) Before You Begin, Ask Yourself One Question Will you live in your next home for at least 3 years? If the answer is "Yes," you should probably purchase, rather than continue renting. With average appreciation, you'll break even on your closing costs after 2 years, and start making money at year three. Every year after that will put more money in your pocket! The most expensive aspect of real estate is buying & selling, so the longer you can live in the home the better. However, purchasing makes sense if you can make as little as a 36 month commitment. 2) You Don't Need a Down Payment! It always surprises me how many people want to purchase a home, but don't because they believe that a hefty down payment is required. Zero down programs are very common, and are quickly becoming the norm, rather than the exception to the rule. Because your new home is collateral for the loan, there are many banks that will jump at the chance to loan you 100% of its value. Perfect credit isn't a requirement, either. Because real estate typically appreciates in value, it's often easier to be approved for a 100% mortgage than it is to borrow 100% for a car! 3) Get Pre-Qualified Pre-qualification is a very important step, and the step that first time home buyers dread the most. Qualifying to buy a home is pretty easy and requires relatively little work for you. Pre-qualification is what gives you buying power and allows you to make an offer on your dream home when you've found it. More importantly, pre-qualification will let you know how much your new home will REALLY cost - in monthly payments. A $150,000 or $300,000 home doesn't mean a lot to most buyers - but $1200 per month and $2500 per month are tangibles that everyone can understand. After your lender pre-qualifies you, ask them for a "payment table" that shows you a rough estimate of TOTAL monthly payment based on purchase price. Pick your payment, and you know the price range to shop in. 4) Consult a Real Estate Professional ASAP Many first time home buyers avoid contacting a Real Estate Agent because they dislike high pressure sales. However, Real Estate Agents have an advantage over traditional salespeople because they have access to the Multiple Listing Service, which is a database that lists roughly 99% of the homes for sale in a given market. This means that your Real Estate Agent doesn't have to sell - he/she merely presents your options. The most important qualities to look for in your Real Estate Agent are his/her knowledge of your specific market and their willingness to help. Interview a few agents and choose one that will help guide you through the process. You'll find the help & insight will be invaluable - and you'll be glad you contacted your Real Estate Agent sooner, rather than later. 5) Make a List of "Must Haves" & "Wants" Many new home buyers mistakenly think that they will "just know" when they "walk into the one." While some buyers DO fall instantly in love with a home, this is not the norm. You'll find your search is easier, and you will be more confident in your decision, if you take a systematic approach to your search. The best way to organize your search is to make two lists: Your "must haves" and your "wants." Your "must haves" are the absolute necessities in your new home - in fact, you don't even need to view a home if it doesn't have every "must have." Great examples of your "must haves" are price, school district, size, etc... Your "wants" are the qualities that you would like for your new home to have, but it's not a necessity. Great examples of "wants" are color, flooring, kitchen appliances, surround sound, and type of exterior. By taking the time to articulate what you need and want in your new home, you will know exactly what to look for when viewing prospective homes. 6) Pick Your Favorite Neighborhoods You can always make changes to your house, but you can never change its location. Most home buyers already have a good idea of where they would like to live because of school districts, work, or other factors. However, neighborhoods can be pretty different, even in the same area of the city. Ask your Real Estate Agent to email you a list of homes in the specific area of town you're interested in. Take a drive through the different neighborhoods on the list your Real Estate Agent sends you, and choose your favorites. Pay attention to area amenities, how well the yards & common areas are kept, and if you see a lot of "for lease" signs - which can be an indication of a heavy rental area, and lacking in "pride of ownership." After you have picked your favorite neighborhoods, and you know your "must haves" and "wants," you can literally make a list of EVERY home available that meets your criteria, and view those homes. 7) Make Your Decision!!! Homebuyers often hesitate after they've found the right home because they're not confident about their decision, or their decision-making process. Your home is probably the largest investment of your life, and it's normal to feel butterflies in your stomach before putting your first home under contract. However, if you do your due diligence - and you have if you followed the steps above - then you will have your bases covered. If you've found a home that meets all of your "must haves," most of your "wants," is in the right neighborhood, and in your budget - it's the home for you! Don't wait and let another buyer take YOUR home! Buying your first home can seem very intimidating, but can be extremely exciting. If you think that buying a home is right for you, it probably is. Make sure and follow these important tips and you'll know you made the right decision when you find your first home. Good Luck!!

Question: Are you aware of the 10 Tips for dealing with James Randi? http://blog.wired.com/gadgets/2007/10/10-tips-for-dea.html Someone was kind enough to offer some suggestions to Randi's critics. It's worth a read.

Answer: I have to ask, is this a question, or just a comment on James Randi? As with all things, there are always going to believe that psychics are real. . as someone noted above, "Why would they lie to me?" And, no matter what the evidence they are confronted with, the refuse to accept any conclusion save their own preconceived notion. Someone also asked who James Randi is. . . James Randi is a fellow, who was once a professional magician. Unlike many people, such as Uri Geller, (who insisted that he could bend metal with his mind and used a stage trick to "prove" that he could) and Sylvia Brown (Psychic who insists she can "communicate with the dead" and solve crimes. . . for a fee). Mr. Randi has elected to take a higher road and expose these charlatans for who and what they are. He has had a challenge for several years. This challenge provided a verifiable one million dollar prize to anyone who could prove they had a psychic, supernatural or paranormal ability. James Randi is unique in that he takes steps to ensure they cannot cheat. See world renowned Uri Geller, suddenly decide that "conditions were not right," when confronted with a situation where he did not control everything: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-3396869920557391806 Sylvia Brown the noted "Psychic" who insists that her abilities are real, agreed to take the challenge, but has repeatedly reneged, insisting on false issues such as: "The money wasn't in escrow: "I have never been offered this challenge." "Well, I don't even want his million dollars" see: http://www.quackwatch.org/11Ind/browne.html See more here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bM2Z5m_9Mgg http://www.randi.org/joom/about-sylvia-browne.html Think Sylvia is harmless, think again: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mUCECDBOOjw&feature=related At any rate, rather than be disgraced and proven a fraud, most of these people who claim such ability, when confronted with a chance to be tested obfuscate, lie, insist that the challenge is "rigged" or a fake. Were this the case, any of these challengers could have taken the issue to court, or their local attorney generals office, but strangely, that has not happen. The problem is the challenge is REAL, and is done in such a way that the challenger must actually PROVE something. It would be nice to believe that the dead could communicate with us from beyond the grave, or that some human really could bend metal or levitate something with his or her mind, predict the future or perform miraculous psychic surgery to remove tumors. But unfortunately, belief in such fairy tails does not make them real. Just like there are hundreds of men in red and white suits around Christmas insisting they are SANTA CLAUSE, none of them live at the North Pole, have a workshop staffed with elves that build toys, have a sleigh with flying reindeer or have the ability to visit the roughly 40 million American children to deliver presents between the hours of midnight and 6 am in one night (That would be 11,111 children visited PER MINUTE) for just the United States). . . But yet, there is no real Santa Clause. . Like Houdini, Randi, has chosen to use his talents for a good cause and not one of personal gain. To try to educate people of the reality of persons making such claims is certainly more noble than using those talents to cheat people. Lastly, if someone does have such powers, (and Randi is not insisting that no one does) let them come forth and prove their claim. There is an old saying: "Extraordinary Claims Demand Extraordinary Proof" Common sense should dictate that, but lots of people seem to forget about that idea. Hope this helps!

Question: What are the top 10 tips to make sure your the top dog? Hi just wondered what top 10 things should you remember to make sure your always dominant over your dog?

Answer: The dominate behavior is sometimes misunderstood. You don't need to rule with fear but earn the respect your dog needs in order to look to you as the leader. If you are establishing being alpha at a young age and looking at her never look away first. Don't make this a challenge but a game. Looking away is a submissive sign of respect....don't do this to an older dog or you will be challenging it. Also make sure that you are the one in control of all things...food, toys, anything. Hand feed on occasions and don't leave food out all the time. Make your dog work for its meals with simple training such as ask the dog to sit before giving the bowl, or make it lay down, anything that shows you control it. Occasionally take the bowl up and give a treat other than dog food and then give the bowl back. This helps it understand that your being around the food isn't a challenge but a reward. Dogs that get food aggressive don't understand you are not going to take it away so they protect it. Also, feed your dog after you eat first. In a pack the leader always eats before any of the others and this shows your rank in your pack :)

Question: Your top 5 or 10 tips to maintaining a safe computer? If you had to recommend your top tips to keeping your computer safe and running smoothly, what would they be?

Answer: 1. Install a good antivirus/antispyware program. -NOD32 / Eset internet security is the best on the market (also ties into #2)frequently run all you protection software and do scans on new files you download before you open them. 2. Install a firewall...software firewalls are ok hardware firewalls are better (most routers have this option...also try mac address filtering and filter all mac addresses but your own) 3. Use firefox with adblock plus and NoScripts addons...They may occassionally be a minor inconvenience but greatly increase you safety on the internet. 4. Don't be stupid...over 90% of computer viruses are installed inadvertantly by the user...Meaning Stop Downloading unless you know and can trust the source and stop looking at so much porn. 5. Always run a good Backup software...This protects your data if it get's lost...even better to backup to an external hard drive and keep that hard drive safe and away from your computer when not in use. 6. disable any unecessary sharing features and choose selections that do not make your computer visible on the network 7: if using Wifi...Use a WPA2 authentification and setup mac address filtering on the router...also disable broadcast ID (you want to be invisible) 8. Run your updates...Patches for known issues can come up frequently and be sure to check non-critical updates to be sure your components are upto date. 9. Delete unused programs... if you don't use it get rid of it...If you might need it at some point be sure to keep the install file save somewhere so you can reinstall if neccessary 10. Encrypt/ Password protect everything. Encrypt your hard drives (including external hard drives) password protect everything...Make sure the administrator password for your computer isn't used for anything else...and change your passwords every 90 days or so. Oh one last thing...never do your taxes..or bank online or put any information of any value on a computer that you allow children or people who do not know what they are doing to use without your supervision...kids and fools have a knack for destroying your security regardless of whether or not they are trying.
