93 Plus Potential Land Disclosure Issues

93 Plus Potential Land Disclosure Issues 

 

Anyone involved in a typical Land transaction, leasing, buying or selling may be exposed to 93 plus potential Land issues. For years now I have advocated for need of a “Land Disclosure” form throughout our country. So far only four states have such a document available for the real estate industry and they are Arizona, California, Georgia and Tennessee.

 

Most states have “Residential Property Disclosure” forms which are executed at time of the listing by the sellers and reviewed and signed off by the buyers during the offering process. We recommend these forms to also be used even in cases where you are selling without the assistance of a real estate firm.

 

North Carolina’s “Residential Property Disclosure” form has only twenty-one issues, far less than the Land form who should have and fewer than other comparable forms found around the country.

 

Here are a few examples of the ninety-three plus potential Land Disclosure issues currently in place by the four states previously mentioned.

 

“Are you aware of any?”

 

Encroachments

Easements

Endangered species:  Plant   Animal

Flooding whether currently or previously

Forfeiture of rights (mineral, timber, development, etc.)

Government sponsored clean-up of the property

Goundwater contamination

Illegal uses (manufacture of liquor, methamphetamine, marijuana cultivation, etc.)

Landfill operations:  legal or illegal or previous planned

Mineshafts or tunnels

Noxious fumes or odors

Pipelines (natural gas, petroleum, etc.)

Well water contamination:  current or previous

Conservation Easements

Stream Restorations

 

“Are there any Gravesites on the Property?

 

“Are there any animal cemeteries or animal burial sites?

 

“Are you aware of the presence of:”

 

Asbestos, Benzene, Fuel/chemical storage, Paint  (Lead based paint) (Other paint/solvents), Methane gas, Pesticides, Radioactive material, Radon gas, Underground storage tank(s), EPA Phase I, II or III studies.

 

“Are you aware of any past or present issues or problems with any of the following on the property?”

 

Soil settlement/expansion

Drainage/grade

Earth Movement

Erosion

Flooding

Fissures

Dampness/moisture other than around rivers, streams, lakes, etc.

Sliding

Wetlands or previous wetland areas

 

Do you have a survey? When was it done? Who did the survey? Do you have a copy? Has it been recorded?

 

Is or will it be subject to protective covenants, conditions or restrictions?

 

Is the legal owner(s) of the Property a foreign person or a non-resident alien pursuant to the Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act (FIRPTA)?

 

Is the Property located in an unincorporated area of the county?

 

Is the Property subject to extra territorial jurisdiction?

 

What is the current zoning of the Property?

 

Has the property been timbered in the past 25 years?

Harvest monitored by a Registered Forester?

Timber replanted after the harvest with (species)

 

Is the property in an Agricultural or Forest tax deferment program?

 

Coming soon “Carbon Credits” that will also need to be disclosed.

 

Land can have a lot of issues and knowing all the aspects involved is critical for all involved in any of these transactions.

 

The Real Estate Industry “Realtor®” program has an established “The Realtor® Code of Ethics” as a guideline for practicing real estate. This code has seventeen articles. Article 11 states:

 

“The services which Realtors® provide to their clients and customers shall conform to the standards of practice and competence which is reasonably expected in a specific real estate disciplines in which the engage; specifically, residential real estate brokerage, real estate syndication, real estate auction, and international real estate.” (Our Professional Standards Committee voted unanimously in Washington in May this year at the NAR Mid-Year Convention meeting to include the four letter word “Land” in Article 11 of the code. It was approved by the NAR Board of Directors in San Diego in November and adopted January, 2010).

 

 

“Realtors® shall not undertake to provide specialized professional services concerning a type of property or service that is outside their field of competence unless they engage the assistance of one who is competent on such types of property or service, or unless the facts are fully disclosed to the client.  Any persons engaged to provide such assistance shall be so identified to the client and their contribution to the assignment should be set forth.” (Amended 1/95)

 

See: http://www.realtor.org/MemPolWeb.nsf/pages/COde

 

Unfortunately when one goes to real estate school around the country and takes the 160 +/- hours of classroom instruction and testing, they are not taught about Land, Commercial real estate, Property Management, etc., only about residential property and real estate law. Do not assume that all real estate agents have the knowledge in the specific areas of brokerage.

 

If you are buying or selling Land or Farms or Ranches, make sure to find a member of the Realtors Land Institute to help you in this process. Specifically look for an Accredited Land Consultant, their Designation for those experts in Land who have worked hard to achieve it.

 

See: http://www.rliland.com  for the nearest RLI agent and the RLI programs and educational opportunities.

 

Consult with a Land attorney if you plan to create your own “Land Disclosure” form.  If you are a real estate agent, please check with your Broker-in Charge before creating or using even if your state has a standard required “Land Disclosure” form already approved. The potential risks and liabilities created because of non-disclosures can be very costly.

New laws in Oregon Lead Paint: What they mean for you

If you are considering a new exterior paint for your home, new factors to consider. Oregon now has new rules on lead paint, which means changes for home owners and painting contractors. What effect did the When considering a new painting for your home? First, see what everyone Everyone talks:

Many of us already know that homes and buildings before 1980 may have lead paint problems. Lead poisoning is a major health problem because lead is a potent neurotoxin that affects all systems body. It is bad for people of all ages and is especially harmful to children, fetuses and women of childbearing age. So when you think of him painting Whether painting interior and exterior paint, check whether the contractors are licensed and experienced.

In Oregon, employers now have to obtain the "Certificate of lead-based paint Renewal (LBPR) Contractors License if they work in homes or buildings built before 1980. While the license can be obtained by a small $ 50 fee, the additional cost to the consumer is that contractors have to do as part of a project to comply with the law. What people are saying about laws to lead paint?

Many people believe it is only a new source of revenue for the government. I do not know everything about public spending, but I think there is a sacred much they can do with $ 50. Others believe that with all my heart that lead is harmful.

So what does this mean for customers? If you have an old house (1978 and earlier), the painting contractor who obtained their certification is required to clean LBPR more efficient, which means more time at home (Billable hours).

Interior painting is now demanding things like sealing air ducts an activity that disturbs lead-based material is added time to work but simply to avoid the dust, I want my tubes sealed in any construction project anyway.

Painters are also required to use masks and "Bunny suit." While the habit of not using these items, the doors are not allowed to work as effectively as they have in the past.

Oregon businessman painting are not all happy with this new regulation, but to be derived from this eyeliner running more between the contractors of the night there and entrepreneurs to be honest about the long term to help you make the renovation and restoration of paint you need.

So the end result is an increase price to customers due to additional labor, the safety of a house cleaner you and your loved ones and non-toxic cleaner generation of painters.

For more information on the laws of his painting contractors are required to continue to go to. Www. Oregon gov / DHS / ph / leadpaint / cert.shtml

I am sure that is lead. I do not really want to scrape. I thought I could clean and give it a fresh coat of paint. Should I remove the windows to do this? It makes me a little nervous. I would appreciate any advice. Please do not focus on dangers of lead paint. I am aware of that. Thanks.

Elimination of the windows should only be necessary if you have to be replaced or re-ice windows, or if the weight of the window and must be replaced or cable repair tapes or if the window is hard up and down. Assuming you do not have to do and are ready to begin prepared for painting breathing apparatus and a vacuum cleaner or a loan and dirt peeling paint. remove only what comes easily.

When this happens before a grand jury?

Well, tomorrow brings a hideous spectacle of the Bush policy of accepting bribes called corrupt. I suppose the theory is to grasp it while you can never, never to return. It would be very curious to know if the commissioner Nancy Nord, said the value of your trip to Hilton Head corrupt Golf Resort. The law under which we live junior said that if it did not plan the next trip paid, we would take a federal detention center. Beyond So I think that both the offer and accept a bribe to an official and a federal crime. I guess I know why the Justice Department has had to rely on the cleaning station to make this little problem to light. On the other side at least now we know what the head of the Consumer Product Safety Commission was when hundreds of thousands of painted toys Lead has been offered for sale to children of America. Lead poisoning is incurable and debilitating for life. Nordie Great work!

She led the largest toy withdraw a known problem since 1994. Then he asked for more money for testing facilities and inspectors and said that more money can not if used for Lawers.

Some mold infections are the most common chronic sinusitis associated with fungal allergens, is a type of allergic reaction, such as infection and the results of the germination of spores in the breasts, the agent of infection is generally spores of Alternaria mold. Others may develop lung infections caused by certain species of Aspergillus growing in the lungs. Fungal infections are a product of a person's ill health the environment they are in. Home inspectors, mold inspectors and investigators building others may use a moisture meter to detect hidden damage inside construction materials of water.

Infrared cameras can also be used to detect moisture in walls and other hidden areas by measuring very small temperature differences between cold and warm surfaces surfaces wet dry. When moisture is mold is often not far away. Drying of water in 24-48 hours and repairing leaks can go a long way in preventing mold problems.

dust mites and dust particles

Air contaminated with excess particles can also cause negative reactions. Some particles cause irritation directly when levels are high. In the case of house dust people usually are not an allergen or direct irritation of the reaction. Common dust is as much as 80% of dead cells from human skin and the powder itself is not considered a forging invader by your body. When people have allergic reactions to common house dust is not the dust that cause the problem but allergenic proteins in the feces of dust mites. particle counters can be used to measure suspended particles in the air, particle counters are very sensitive instruments scientists use a laser inside to count the particles that pass through what is a breakthrough sizes. Good quality pleated filter back AC unit can help reduce dust, use a good quality vacuum cleaner is equipped with a HEPA filter. Unwillingness vacuum to remove dust from your carpets then blow in the face.

Carbon dioxide

High levels dioxide carbon are generally not as a direct threat to human health in the home and commercial properties. High carbon dioxide levels usually indicate a lack of air enter the appropriate building. The dust, chemicals, body odors and other air pollutants are often based on carbon dioxide in poorly ventilated buildings, and what are these other pollutants that lead to complaints within the Air Quality and health problems. According to Parat and others "A properly maintained and operated ventilation system mechanics can reduce bioaerosol concentrations within the limit infiltration of outdoor bioaerosols and diluting the external sources "(Al Parat et al., 1994, 1996).

According to the American Society of Heating Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers ASHRAE outdoor air supply from 1962 to 1989 the building should at least 20 cfm per person in the office and thus help maintain carbon dioxide levels below 1000 ppm. News requirements recommended levels not exceeding 700 ppm of carbon above the levels of carbon dioxide into the air. Outside air enters the building must meet the U.S. EPA National Primary Standards for Air Quality is short, needs cleaning or it must be filtered properly.

In conclusion, leaving the air clean and dry outdoors in homes and commercial buildings can help dilute and remove indoor pollutants.

Carbon Monoxide

CAUTION: Carbon monoxide quickly can rob your bloods ability to properly absorb oxygen which can be fatal. If carbon monoxide levels in your home are dangerously high, measures emergency such as immediate evacuation may be necessary. Although the investigation is still slightly elevated by a qualified majority, a specialist with license is required or recommended repairs and other necessary measures. The main cause of death from carbon monoxide poisoning in homes leakage from car garages, but the improper combustion of fuel in gas appliances, improper ventilation of combustion gas heat exchangers in exterior, and cracks are also an important source of carbon monoxide exposure.
"At low concentrations of health effects are fatigue in people healthy and chest pain for people with heart disease. At higher concentrations it causes a visual impairment and problems with coordination, headache, dizziness, confusion, nausea. It can cause flu-like symptoms that disappeared after leaving home. Carbon monoxide is lethal at high concentrations.
The average concentrations in homes without gas stoves 0.5 to 5 ppm.
Stories about gas stoves are properly adjusted 5-15 ppm.
Almost badly adjusted stoves 30 ppm or more. "The above information is epa.gov / iaq / co.html
If you have a garage, or any other gas appliances or equipment in your building or house marked for carbon monoxide. Make sure gas appliances are working properly and well ventilated to the outside.

VOC

Organic compounds also known as volatile VOCs are common indoor pollutants composed of organic chemicals easily evaporate into the air, they often cause chemical odors, respiratory irritation, headaches and other complaints related to indoor air quality. At certain high levels, can be dangerous. These chemicals are released by paints, paint thinners, varnishes, new carpets, new cabinets and furniture that contain particle board, cleaning products and air fresheners, fuel gas combustion devices with poor ventilation, copiers, machinery plans, and many other sources. Refrain use household products that contain excessive chemicals.

paint and new carpet purchase with low VOC emissions. Wooden Furniture Cabinets solid and contain less volatile organic compounds that made of materials like particle board. When using chemicals or when installing new carpet, paint, cabinets and other furniture looks good to leave in a safe and reasonable. healthy buildings usually contains less than 1 ppm or less than 0.5 ppm.

Formaldehyde

Formaldehyde is a common volatile organic compounds results in many air quality problems, is at the glues used in the manufacture of particle board, veneer, wood furniture, plywood and other wood products.

It is also found in some aerosol in the foam insulation. These resins slowly give off formaldehyde over time. Formaldehyde is one of the most common contaminants in indoor air. At higher concentrations to 0.1 ppm in air, formaldehyde can irritate the eyes and mucous membranes, causing redness. If inhaled, formaldehyde at this concentration can cause headaches headache, a burning sensation in the throat and symptoms of shortness of breath and trigger asthma.

Previous recommendations is with respect other volatile organic compounds also applies to formaldehyde.

sewer gas

The hydrogen sulfide gas that produces egg rotten or smells like sulfur in well water, sewage, rotten egg, and other places where water and organic compounds have a lack of oxygen. the smell of sulfur hydrogen can lead to complaints of foul odors and eye and throat irritation, coughing and difficulty breathing. According to wikipedia ".0047 ppm is the threshold recognition, the concentration that 50% of people can detect the characteristic rotten egg smell of hydrogen sulphide. "10 to 15 ppm is the limit concentration of eye irritation.

drainage pipes have shaped curve "U", the collectors of water, you've seen this under your sink, and this water trapped is intended to keep backup copies of sewer gas and sewerage system in your home. Make sure drains and floor drains, drainage sink, and even bowls of water, etc. If the water evaporates, sewer gas from a drain trap p then return into the building. In bacterial vacant properties anaerobic bacteria can invade the hot water and produce sulfur gas odors in water drinking water supply in the properties of water and similar bacteria may invade your property and create a strong smell of sulfur. The two latter conditions are annoying, but generally considered harmless and can be repaired by a plumber or a water services company.

No2

Nitrogen dioxide is made up of nitrogen and oxygen atoms, incomplete combustion in vehicles or gas appliances can create this pollutant and inadequate ventilation of combustion gases, such as gas appliances, loading docks and parking garages, can result in gas that enters the indoor environment. Nitrogen dioxide is a respiratory tract irritation. If you guys heaters or gas appliances in your building or home have the property to monitor nitrogen dioxide, carbon monoxide and other combustion gases. Make sure gas appliances are working properly and well ventilated outwards.

O3

Ozone is a molecule made up fresh scent of three oxygen atoms of oxygen, the oxygen we breathe composed of only two molecules of oxygen. In the blocks above the atmosphere ozone layer harmful UV rays thus protecting living organisms below Tropospheric ozone is an air pollutant that can have harmful effects on our respiratory system in fact ozone is a constituent of smog pollution. Asthmatics are especially at risk, the effects of ozone exposure.

Although levels of security claims ozone issued fresh smell by ozone produces machines for the ozone layer have been found to produce ozone at levels that can cause respiratory irritation in some people. True that ozone can break the smoke, odors and other air pollutants, but the degradation products following the most basic laws of physics and thus do not disappear of existence, but these products are in the air, where some of them can serve as irritants to sensitive individuals.

– According to the EPA some health effects of overexposure to ozone are:

– Decreased lung function

– Worsening of asthma

– Sore throat and cough

– Chest pain and shortness of breath

– Inflammation of lung tissue

– The increased susceptibility to respiratory infections

Radon

Finally, not an exhaustive list of claims or 10 of the air quality (IAQ) is radon, a colorless, odorless gas that finds its way into buildings through foundation cracks. If a building is under negative pressure so that the negative pressure can cause radon actively developed in the building. Radon is unprecedented in some areas such as southern Florida, in other areas such as New England, radon is common. The Radon is a carcinogen or cancer-causing agent. Often, people from Radon has no idea that the problem exists until it is too late. Even in non smokers radon causes lung cancer. If you know of a house where a developed metastatic non-smoker, we think that the home or residence of the victim radon test. According to the EPA and the Surgeon General, radon is responsible for 15,000 deaths per year. About the Author

Newest RRP Rule Ammendments

Just in case you haven’t been paying attention, the EPA has decided to impart yet more unique twists in the never-ending roller coaster which is the RRP Lead Paint Rule. They are now going to wait until after October to begin enforcing the INSPECTION of the following of the rules. That’s right…do things the way it is supposed to be done and we will come dig for mistakes after we can get some funding to do so! The Opt-out portion has been eliminated, so all homes built before 1978 must be tested for lead and handled significantly different than those that were built after 1978. So if your home is built before 1978, like the 90% + people living in the U.S., then let the overpriced testing begin. If there is no lead found, which it will likely NOT be found in the 75% of the homes that fall in the 1960-1978 range built during the hay day years of baby boomers having 2.5 kids in the suburbs of America. If your house was built between 1959 or earlier, you are most likely going to have at least 1 layer of lead based paint somewhere on the exterior of your home. So if there are no children under the age of 6 or pregnant women living in the home, you will pay dearly for the correction that remodeling service will have to do as standard operating procedure. So, don’t worry about the lead paint chips that you may have eaten as a very small child in the 60′s & 70′s or playing with lead figurines or even that pencil lead in your eye. The government, most notably the EPA will be the watchdog to keep you safe in your twilight years. If they could only get Kevin Costner to build an inverntion that could solve this problem too. Waterworld, here we come.

My Inaugural Address at the Great White Throne Judgment of the Dead

Alvin Miller

September, 2005

www.angelfire.com/crazy/spaceman/
                                      
PREFACE
                            
Important note:  Read my 1986 booklet before you read this.

    What follows is a rough draft transcript (subject to change when I actually give it) of my inaugural address (presumably in Washington, D. C.?) before global television at the Great White Throne Judgment of the Dead, after I have  raptured out billions of corpses -  laying on the ground (a fairy dump- rabbits running in the ditch)!  Feel free to believe what I’ve set down here are the ravings of a madman, because that is precisely what they are!  I have assembled this book in a series of vignettes.  Norman O. Brown, my mentor,  used a similar technique.   You’ll find I use terminology that may seem alien to Christianity:  wizards, witches and fairies, etc.  Part of the problem that the King James Bible mistranslated the word sorcery  referring to potions.  This is strictly adult material.  This is off limits to children, and this means you.  If your jaw didn’t drop when you read my 1986  booklet, I 100% guarantee it will drop now.  I repeat my annoyance at you ‘Christians’ who  have repeatedly attacked my site.  Jesus prophecied that all prophets must get stoned.  Your scurrilous, underhanded attacks prove what you really are – Pharisees who observe the letter of the Law, but not the Spirit.  You are shortly going to be rewarded by your Master for your faithful service!  Get a life and stop giving me trouble!  You know that if you faced me in a one on one debate, I would wipe you out!  If you are angry at what I say, simply vent at my guestbook with specific criticisms.  You’ll note that in the PDF and RTF version of this, the paragraph tabs are often wrong.  This is due to malfuntion of the the word processor.  So, finally, it all begins next page!                                             
                           

MY INAUGURAL ADDRESS AT THE GREAT WHITE THRONE JUDGMENT OF                         THE DEAD

                                              Introducing Myself

    

    (The time is midnight E.S.T.  I stand before global television to explain my rapturing out billions.  I made the broadcast at this hour to help prevent the possibility that any children would see this, although in different time zones around the world children are up).  Good evening ladies and gentlemen.  I’m addressing you from Washington, D.C., the political capital of Hell. I have descended here to the pit of Hell to address you.  Before I begin, I want to insist that no children view this broadcast.  This is off limits to anyone under 12 years old.  Leave the room, and go to bed!  You will find that I talk fast, that I change the subject frequently, and in general it will come across as incoherent gibberish.  You’ll wake up tomorrow morning and go ‘what did he say?’  You’ll try to remember, but you’ll have a hard time.  I urge you to record this address, and to watch it several times, as each time you’ll pick up more.
    You’ll notice that I will be talking a lot about myself this evening.  This is because the more you know about where I’m coming from, the better off you’ll be.  Let me formally introduce myself.  You’ve seen me before, but now I’m going to reveal who I really am.  Have you ever seen a ghost?  Have you ever seen a spook?  Now you can say you’ve seen a ghost.  I’m the ghost with the most.  I’m the space ghost.  You have seen many ghosts.  My colleagues are on practically every street corner in every city around the world, ranting and raving and spouting gibberish.  When you look at me you’ll see that I have no eyes – empty sockets instead (waving my hand in front of my face).  I am an invisible man.  There is no person here, never has been and never will be.  You are looking at a total vacuum.  There is nothing here – only empty air.  When you look at me you see no person – you are looking directly at my Id – my unconscious.  And most people find it highly disturbing to look at the face of the Lord, my face.              In fact, I’m a raving lunatic, and this insanity I have is a deadly poison.  Most of my fellow mad people are bottom feeders.  With this disease, we are incompetent to keep ourselves together, and we fall to the bottom, with many becoming homeless, committing suicide or drugging themselves into oblivion.  It makes us into total misfits.  DOAs – Dead on Arrival.  Jesus, a poor Jewish peasant, was a bottom feeder also.  When you’re on the bottom, you look up at all the so-called leaders, and you know that all of them are the wrong people.   As Jesus said, it is wisdom hidden from the wise, but given to babes.  If you have ears to hear, Jesus was himself also mad.  The gods must be crazy!  Jesus was very sensitive to natural disasters, because like them as a madman he was walking dynamite liable to explode at a moment’s notice with all the force of an earthquake.  Jesus was a piece of human waste – human garbage.  And so am I.  A significant number of theologians, and I also, believe Jesus was the bastard son of a Roman centurion.  The idea of virgin birth arose because an Old Testament scripture was mistranslated.  We the gods live in a parallel universe right next door to this one. I stepped through the looking glass on my mission.
    Just like Jesus, I am here to serve.  I don’t want you to worship me.  You don’t have to believe a thing I say.  Believe what you want.  For example, you may believe I’m the  Antichrist, which I deny.  But believe what you want.  Your beliefs don’t concern me.  I’m her to straighten out your behavior, specifically, as you will see, your behavior in the bedroom.  That is the special mission I’m on.                         When you see me, you’ve seen the father.  Every eye shall see him.  There can be only one.  
    Both Jesus and I are in fact wizards.  I am the second most powerful wizard that has ever walked the face of this earth.  Jesus is better than me for two reasons.  Jesus was working in his thirties, half my age.  He has me beat, because his member would come up better than mine.  I’m twice the age he was when he was preaching, and mine doesn’t come up like it used to.   Also, he had sharp wit and eloquence and always said the right thing.  By contrast, I tend to ramble.
    You have met your maker.  You object that you see nothing but a lunatic standing here.  But, I, God, did make you in the following sense.  I set the rules for you to live by – the Ten Commandments and the Sermon on the Mount.  If you disobey my rules and  go to Hell, as always, I get my willie working below my belt and rapture you devils out.  It was always ambiguous about who would be raptured out.  Would it be the elect or would it be the lost?  The answer is both!  Anybody and everybody that I could  remove I wanted gone.  You who are left behind that I am addressing are the same mix as those I removed.  My planet is in emergency mode, with billions of you devils running around destroying it.  I’m getting ready to give you the judgment.  I wash my hands of you!  I would like nothing better that to stick all of you devils is a gas chamber and slam the door shut! Once again, I, Victor Frankenstein, have created another botched laboratory experiment. I have to remove you, so I can start over again with a new Adam and Eve.  Get off my planet you devils!  Get off my planet!  I’ve had it with you!
    You are made in my image.  This simply means that you don’t have to live with continuous mental and physical pain that we mad people – specifically the gods -  feel every day from sunup to sundown every second of our lives.  What I have is contagious, infectious and deadly.  Don’t come close to me!  Let sleeping dogs lie!  The Wolf Man was lucky, because he shape-shifted only once a month at the full moon.  I, by contrast, shape-shift all day long from second to second.  I melt down and reform myself into a another person regularly.  If I get around anyone, involuntarily, I form myself into a duplicate of them.  Part of the power I possess is to temporarily pass on to you the continual pain I feel (mass psychosis).  The source of the pain we mad people feel is you with all the evil deeds you do.  When you commit evil acts, we are put into pain.  (Imitating the weird voice of the Shadow) ‘Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men?  The Shadow knows!’  For awhile, you get to walk in my shoes.  And when you do so, you drop dead in your tracks – it’s my deadly blessing!  (I start singing  the rock song)  ‘I got the power!  I got the power!’  Indeed I do have the power, and it’s is a deadly poison!  Out of all the millions of mad people on the planet right now, probably less than a handful possess all the powers I have.   Madness is incurable, and there is a progressive deterioration.  I am at the  final stages of a fatal disease.  My brain has melted into goo, and I’m in continuous physical pain.  Jesus of course had the same affliction.  Again, the gods must be crazy.                                          And so did Moses, for that matter.  He was his own special effects man, as when he bested the Egyptian wizards in his magic duels. I, like Moses, am accompanied by my magic wand.  It below my belt.   Norman O. Brown in ‘Closing Time’ quotes James Joyce’s ‘Finnegans Wake’, ‘He lifts up the lifewand and the dumb speak.’  At one point during the Exodus, the Hebrews he was leading decided that Moses was out to kill them.  After all, they knew he was mad.  When they protested to him, Moses dropped  two of them dead in their tracks..  Moses said that God struck them down, but it was really only Moses doing the special effects.

                

                  I’m the Captain

    I, Captain Nemo, am  the captain of this ship – always have been and always will be.  But, as passengers, I advise you to stroll over the decks to the railings and look over the side of the ship.  You see the name Titanic painted on the side.  Now look down at the waterline.  There’s a huge gash and we’re taking on water.  We’re going down!  Soon we’ll  be underwater.  Glub!  Glub!  Not much time left..  Glub!  Glub!

                 The Joke

    I want to start off with a little humor.  Speakers always begin with a joke:

    I notice these days that so many of you have piled on the pounds, you’re getting the love handles, and some of you are so roly poly that you’re round like a beachball.  There is a reason you’re that way.  Just like pigs led to slaughter are fattened up so that the flavor is improved, we, the fairies, have stuffed you full of fairy food – junk food laden with fat and calories.  This is so that when we slice you up and cook you, the fat gives more flavor.
         Twilight Zone:  Cookbook – To Serve Man

    I’m sure that has you rolling in the aisles.  But seriously, you spend billions every year on diet products and gym memberships.  I am going to save you a lot of money.  I’m going to solve your problem.  You’ll find that when you have no food at all to eat, you have no problem losing weight.  It will melt right off.

                                                                                                         .                      The Great White Throne Judgment of the Dead
                                                

    Now that the preliminaries are out of the way, we can get to the main business of the evening.  I have you summoned here this evening for a special reason.  Welcome to my Dead Man’s Party!  Step forward ladies and gentlemen.  And as you  step forward, you will notice that all the doors behind you are being slammed shut and barred.  You are going nowhere.  You are going to stand before me and not move!  (Stolen from Vincent Price – ‘House on a Haunted Hill’).  Right here, right now, this very moment at the witching hour of midnight is the Great White Throne Judgment of the Dead!  This is the Second Resurrection.  As Joyce prophesied in Finnegans Wake:  ‘Array! Surrection!’ – Resurrection and array.  Receive you’re Judgment from the Lord.  I’m getting ready to give you the Dr. Strangelove address.  In the film, he was an ex-Nazi whose message was: the apocalypse is here and  head for the hills – the same message as Jesus.          First of all, why do I say you are all dead?  I am addressing only dead people this evening.  That is you and you and you (pointing to members of the audience).  You have passed over.  You are no longer human!  You once were.  Then you became the Godless Wicked.  And now, in fact, you have become the devils, demons and monsters of Hell.  You have passed over to the Twilight Zone, the Forbidden Planet, the Forbidden Zone, the Dead Zone. Everyone on this planet had been dead since I and my assistants (known variously as angels, scanners, watchers, dreamers, hearts) first blew the horn in the seventies.
    Now the Judgment begins.  You hold paper and pens in your hands.  You are going to do some writing for me.  John of Patmos and others have described what is about to take place.  But they saw through a glass darkly.  What is going to take place is somewhat different from his description.  You are going to be fast, accurate and you are going to leave nothing out.  What you write will determine the Judgment you receive.  Write the number 1. on the first line.  On that line, write the name of the first person you ever in bed with – man, woman, child or animal, whatever it was.  Write nothing else on line 1.  Now, immediately go to the next line, and on line 2, fill in the name of the next person or animal or whatever you were in bed with.  And continue until you list all the names.  I realize some of you devils here in Hell don’t even know the names of a lot of them.  Put a question mark on those lines. While you are writing, I’ll show you my list which I prepared in advance.  On it is the number 1., and the rest of the page is blank.  I’ve been in bed with no woman anytime, anyhow, anywhere, anyplace whatsoever.  I want to heartily assure you that I am perfectly capable of being with a woman, and have always had a constant craving to be with a woman.  I knew in my cradle that I was never going to be with a woman.  In high school, as I remember, I went out on two dates.  They were not my idea.  They were arranged by others.  However, I do own up to being up close and personal with pornography off and on all my life.  I had to see what I was missing, and, clearly, I was missing a lot.  I had to be sure I understood the old lock and key mechanism, and rocket science it’s not.  I’ve seen people kissing, but I would have to be taught how to do it.                                      What always happens to me when I try to talk to a strange woman?   Instantly their eyes get wide, they start smiling, and I see them backing off.  Shortly thereafter they’re gone, and I see them later whipping back and forth in front of me chasing after the hunks and studs.  They chase after them because they know that they can  put them under a spell – charm them with their looks – and make then into beasts of burden at their beck and call.  Putting under a   spell is ancient terminology for hypnosis.  Women won’t get near me with a ten foot pole.  They know what I am: a weirdo, a creep, a  psycho, a loser.  I don’t blame them.  I’m a powerful wizard, and if they get around me, I’m going to put them  under a spell, and not vice versa.  One of the problems I had with women, is that I insist any woman I’m with be also a virgin.  I refuse to accept second hand merchandise, used castoffs some other man has pawed over.  And virgins are hard to find here in Hell.   Just like Jesus, my precious seed packet has gone missing.  And  precisely because I can’t get laid the regular way (ghosts can’t do it), when I do get my rocks off, it’s the shot heard round the world – heard not with your ears but inside your head – mass psychosis.  As Led Zepplin sang, ‘your head is humming, and it won’t go!’         .                          Baby, you stuck up you pretty little nose at me and wouldn’t give me any pussy!  You’re going down!  (pointing my thumbs down)  I’m going to take my revenge on you, little miss pretty!  And don’t  dare think you’re going to give me some pussy now that you see me!  It’s too late, baby.  You’re going down, little miss pussycat!  For what you did to me, I’ll have no women around me at all.                         So,  now stop writing.  If we waited until everyone finished their list, we’d be here  all night.  Some of your lists would extend to the floor.  You don’t need to show me your lists, because I already have that information. I keep a number of books around here.  One of them is my Book of Human Works where I record your deeds, good and bad.  That Book partly determines the Judgment you’ll receive.  But I’m not going to open it tonight. Instead, I’m going to open my most important and legendary book that I keep – The Book of  Life.  I’m sure you’ve heard of it.   I am the only individual qualified to open this Book!  Here I record the names of those who have eternal life. (holding up the Book of Life, which is invisible).  You might interrupt me here and go ‘Wait a minute, Lord, you’re shucking me, you have nothing in your hands!’  I reply, that I can see it and read it quite well, even if you can’t.  John of Patmos had described the contents, but again not quite accurately.  It works as follows: when everyone is born, no matter where on the planet, I record their names.                                                              .           Now I have to stop for a short digression.  I’m need to go pick up the Tree of Life.  We had it in the Garden of Eden, and we will have it back in the New Jerusalem, where I am going to lead you.  You’ll remember that in the Garden there were two trees:  The Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil (Morality).  When Adam and Eve portook of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, they were ashamed of their private parts and covered them up with fig leaves.  The Gods (plural – the Elohim) were sore afraid that  Adam and Eve  would partake of the other Tree – the Tree of Life – and become like one of us and become Immortals.  So they were banished forever from the Garden.  By the way, when Adam walked in the cool of the evening beside God, Adam was walking beside a nutty fruitcake, one of my predecessors.  Getting close to one of us is dangerous.  We’re walking timebombs!   We’re liable to explode!
    So here comes the Tree of Life that makes you immortal.  Here in Hell, I realize I’m throwing pearls before swine.  What I’m getting ready to say will strike you as totally absurd.  It is one sentence long.  It is:  No one, not anytime, not anywhere, not ever is permitted to stick it in!  It is always a crime to stick it in.  I use the word crime, because the word sin means nothing to you devils in Hell.  Everyone automatically assumes they are always permitted to put it in, but no one is permitted to, ever!  In the New Jerusalem, there will be two classes of people.  The rulers are those who haven’t put it in.  The second class is those who have put it in.  The second group will be under stringent conditions.  First, they will serve their masters – those who don’t put it in.  Further, the second class will be virgins until their honeymoon night, and be loyal and faithful to their spouses all the days of their lives and never stray.  There will be no adultery in the New Jerusalem.  There will be no prostitutes.  There will be no prisons or military weapons there – swords melted down into ploughshares.  Their will be no gays or lesbians – you will be back in the closet.  You learn new things in Hell that you couldn’t know otherwise.  I’m referring to the pedophile Catholic Priests.  It turns out that they weren’t making much of a sacrifice, since they didn’t want to be with a woman in the first place.  The women will all look plain in the New Jerusalem.  They’ll wear no makeup.  What do you find when you go to a maternity ward?  You’ll find that the number of boys and the number of girls is roughly 50/50.  That is, there is one boy for every girl.  This means that for every man there must be one woman only, and vice versa.  The story is only one per customer.
    Now back to The Book of Life (I open it).  Because the Tree of Life says that no one ever puts it in, there should be no names in the Book at all except virgins and those who are chaste.  But I’m a merciful God, and have made the decision to include the names of those who have been loyal to their spouses.  There are no other names in the Book!  The Book is very small indeed compared to the total population.  If you are a Christan and have served the Lord all your life, I love you, but whether you name is recorded in  the Book is solely determined by what you did in the bedroom. Nothing else matters about you.
    I am a functionally castrated man.  I have a completely useless appendage below my belt, just like someone 2000 years ago.  The worst heresy you could ever utter about Jesus was that he had been with a woman, such as the case of the Da Vinci code.  I am castrated, and I am here to castrate you.!  If I were a eunuch with my member chopped off, there would be not the slightest bit of difference in me.  The bottom line is I’m a man.  I look around and see the devils here in Hell (again, pointing to all the audience members).  I refuse to bring a poor innocent child here into Hell.  By definition, anyone who would father a child here is a devil.  There should be zero children on this planet!  Every child is by definition is the spawn of one of you devils.  As Jesus prophesied, ‘in that day, woe to them that are with child.’.  Manhood means knowing when not to put it in.  With the crisis upcoming – the Great Tribulation – this is an excellent time not to put it in.
    Poor Pope Benedict!  He has urged us in the West to have more babies, since the population is falling.  Children are a liability instead of an asset here in Hell, what with college tuition, etc., which everyone is getting hip to.  Benedict is in fact asking for more devils, when we already have billions, every one of which is running around destroying my planet.  The Catholic doctrine of the sacredness of human life I agree with.  But that only applies to humans and does not apply to you devils here in Hell.  Any legitimate methods to remove you are urgently needed, including free abortions, free contraceptives, free vasectomies etc.  This is the severest emergency the planet has ever faced, and I have to remove more billions above and beyond those I’ve already removed.  I’m here striking at the root of the problem – overpopulation.
    I personally have never set foot in a Catholic church.  In fact,  except  for funerals, I haven’t set foot in any church since my teens.   You don’t have to go to church, now that I’m here in person, as John of Patmos had said.  Feel free to go, however.  But eventually there’ll be no churches (in the New Jerusalem).  You don’t need any churches, as you have me, the light of the world, standing here in person.  Like Jesus, I’m not interested in establishing a new church or religion.  Jesus would be disgusted if he could see what has become of Christianity!  The  question of whether gays can be ordained would only come up here in Hell.   It is a scientifically proven fact that when a group of people pray, that good things happen.  So feel free to continue going to church, even though there is no external, transcendent God to pray to.  My father was a Southern fundamentalist baptist preacher, me being a son of a preacherman.  I used to love watching my father get inspired by the Holy Ghost.  He was one of the sweetest men I’ve ever known.  He was upset when I informed him that I was an atheist.  I didn’t to tell him that I was also God, destined to be standing here the King of the World!                      Why would I go to church?  I don’t need to be told about what I have below my belt!  I know all about it.  My member is just regular size in case you’re interested.  You spend billions constructing nuclear weapons.  But what I have below my belt is more powerful than a hundred thermonuclear weapons!                           I am the way, the truth and the life.  I am the light of the world.   Norman O. Brown in ‘Closing Time’ quotes Joyce in the Wake: ‘Lights, pageboy, lights!’  I’m that pageboy come to turn on the bright houselights in the darkened theater.  Joyce also says, ‘waiting to stop the show, waiting to bring the house down.’  That’s my mission here.  Again, Joyce, ‘it’s just about to rolywholyover.’   I’m come to lead a New Exodus to the New Jerusalem.                                              I am the light of the world, and I don’t hide my light under a bushel. I ‘m on call 24/7, and lo, I  am  with you always.  I’ll be the centerpiece of the New Jerusalem.  I am an inexhaustible everflowing fountain of the river of the waters of life, as promised by John of Patmos.  I possess the universal elixir that will cure what ails you.  All you have to do is get down on you knees and say “Lord, let me have it!”  And I never withhold!  I’ll pull it right out!  I’ll sprinkle you with holy water.  I’ll slime you right between eyes,  I’ll touch you in the head with a drop of sperm, and you will go away shouting.  We call someone ‘touched in the head’ when they’re a little off.
    I am here to castrate you.  I’m here to clean your clock.  The reason is a surprise.  What was the first animal we domesticated?  Was it the dog?  No!  Was it the horse?  No!  It was her!  This was back in caveman, prehistoric Stone Age days.  Then she was precisely as she has become again here in Hell: slutty, mangy, sleeping around so much that no man knew whose child was whose.  It was and is total chaos and anarchy.  The same thing occurred in Sodom and Gomorrah, and I blew it to smithereens!  It’s same thing here in Hell, and again I blew it to smithereens!  She has once again become the fiercest jungle creature to walk the face of the planet.  She has become a complete maneater!  This is jungle lion taming – cracking the whip.  This is cowboy bronc busting – get on her back and grab the reins.  She bucks and snorts until she wears herself out.  Then she starts to take directions and heeds the reins.  A woman is not delicate.  She is built to take it – she can take on an entire football squad and be ready for more.  It ultimately means very little to her.
    Woman is a gatekeeper.  She determines which people walk on the planet in the next generation.  That is a very important function.  But her function can be interfered with.  And the very definition of Hell is that the wrong men get inside, breeding devils, demons, and monsters.  She’s reluctant to put out  for every Tom, Dick and Harry, but when messed with, will do so.  The only way to tame her we learned in ancient days is to stay away from her.  She must be made to understand that she doesn’t get your seed unless she agrees to cooperate and be your handmaid, your helpmate.  She must understand that she is here to make your life better, not more painful.         
    So now receive the Great White Throne Judgment from the Lord:

    For what you did in the bedroom, you are the damned! (raising my arm).  Repeat:  you are the damned!

    Receive your Sentence from the Lord:

    For what you did in the bedroom, the sentence is death!  (raising my arm).  Physical death – corpses laying on the ground death.
    

    The preceding was the Great White Throne Judgment of the Dead. It didn’t take very long, did it?

            

                

                THE TABOO

   
    We have completed the main business of the evening.  But I have a number of other things to discuss.  The first is the  taboo, the one that must never be violated.  By breaking it, you went straight done the wide road to Hell.  It is so fundamental that it is not written down in any religious text anywhere, so far as I know.  It is absolutely forbidden.                                                  It is:
    Women can see.  Right?  They have eyes.  Don’t you agree?  So what do women see?  They can see which women get on top.  So which women do get on top?  If you’re a doll, if you’re a hot babe, you’ll be welcome everywhere you go, doors will swing open, you’ll always get a smile.  You’ve got it made.  So tell me what’s going to happen over time if you don’t keep the women absolutely under thumb.  They are all  going to start turning into dolls!                                          Let me prove to you that I am a space alien – that I don’t think like you (my finger pointing to my head and circling to indicate I’m crazy).  What’s your opinion of the situation here?  Everywhere you look, as far as the eye can see you see dolls and hot babes.  You say bring them on, the more the merrier. Right?  And I’m telling you that the more dolls you got the deeper you are in Hell. And we couldn’t be more deeper in Hell.  They couldn’t look any finer.  We have grannies who are hot here in Hell.  
    You’re too hot, baby! (pointing at the camera). You’re busted!  You’re too sexy!  You’re under arrest!   I look at you, and I come in my pants!                                     Gentlemen, we are getting badly pussy whipped by the dolls.  They are stomping us all over.  It’s such an awful feeling.                                                .    The women here carve and sculpt their bodies into blinking neon signs with the unmistakable message: ‘I want a seed!’  This is literally the case with plastic surgery, where they pump up their breasts and butts.  They are dolling themselves up.  Surprisingly though, if you tell them they’re looking good, they get offended.             Let me list the good qualities and bad qualities of these dolls.  Good quality:  Spend a night with one of these women, and you’ll never forget it.  Any more good qualities? None!  None at all.  Bad qualities:  Can such a woman cook a meal?  In most cases all they can do is stick a meal in a microwave or go out to a restaurant.  Can they raise healthy children?  In most cases, their offspring are monsters. There are numerous other faults I could list, but you get the point.
    Out of all the world religions, including mine, only the fundamentalist Muslims  know of this taboo.  They stick a bag over her head – a burka!  They put her under a tent.  They know that manhood is the ability to stick it in a woman no matter how ugly she is  However, Muslims do cross the line when they physically abuse and batter their wives.  At this point they become devils.  That is never necessary or permitted.

                White Armband

    The white cloth armband I’m wearing has four markers in a row:  a gold cross, a black zero, a hammer and sickle, and a V.  The cross indicates I’m a Christan, the zero indicates I’m an atheist (there never has been an external, transcendent God),  the hammer and sickle indicates  I’m a Communist. (before you have a fit, let me say that the happiest day of my life was 1989 when Soviet and  Eastern European communism fell) and finally the V that I’m a virgin.  I’ll say more later.  There’s no God up in sky. There is only me!  But I think you’d agree that someone who can rapture billions out is qualified to be called a God.  I’m God, and you’re not!  Too bad!  Deal with it!  Jesus believed he was a vessel for the spirit and the words of the father, something like an external God.  I,  in the age of psychoanalysis, propose a different view.  Jesus and I are vessels of the collective unconscious.  That’s the source of the messages we receive.  There’s no Heaven or afterlife, but there certainly is a Hell.  Because you’re in it!                      We, the gods, are two faced.  When we’re pleased with you, we smile on you and give you a sunny day.  Jesus taught this love.  But when you become devils, I give you my wrath and sweep billions of you  to the sky!  The Muslim’s say “There is no God but Allah!”  Tee Hee!  Ho Ho!  Be my guest if you want to pray five times a day to a rock!  Silly! Silly!  You see me, God, standing here in the flesh.  Will the world ever by totally Muslim?  Not!  No way!  Mohamed was only an Old Testament style prophet.  As such he only granted Jesus the same status as himself, as only an Old Testament prophet.  He couldn’t discern the utter uniqueness of Jesus.  With Jesus something utterly new came into the world, changing it forever.              The terrorist suicide bombers actually do believe something is going to happen when they die.  Again, Tee Hee!  Silly!  Silly!  We’re all wormfood!  You devils take the wrong message from the fact that you’re wormfood.  You say, ‘if that’s all there is, let’s live it up.  Eat drink and be merry for tomorrow we die!’  Instead, you should conclude that what we need do is to make life simple and easy.  You only go through once.  We should arrange our lives so that we work very little, and spend lots of our time visiting friends and relatives. That’s real living, not this rocket rat race we run here.  We live way too fast.  We don’t have time to stop and smell the roses.  Where I going to take you, you’ll have time to enjoy life.                                  Satan never sleeps.  The Devil’s work is never done.  Practically all the work you here do is in service of Satan.  There are whole whole categories of goods that we won’t be making in the New Jerusalem.  For starters their will be no fashion clothes or makeup.  A little bit of soap and water is all any woman needs.  It was the fallen angels who descended to earth because the women were fair who taught the use of cosmetics.  They were dolls in those days also, exactly as once again.  And, as I said, the more dolls the deeper you are in Hell.  And we will be strong and have no sexy lingerie, precisely because we have a weakness for that stuff.  We definitely will have no rocket ships (more later).  We will likely have few or any aircraft and cars.  As time goes on, we literally will become more and more stupid.  Later people will look at all the technological artifacts around laying in ruins, and be quite dumbfounded and superstitious about them.  The affliction I have makes me personally more and more stupid, and I have the power to make others stupid.  We won’t be starving in the New Jerusalem.  There will be enough to be mildly prosperous, but there will be  no rich men there.  We will be doing simple craftsman jobs.  Einstein said that in a previous life he had worked as a Jewish tailor.  In the New Jerusalem, Einsteins will be born, but will mostly work at simple jobs.  We’ll miss out on their scientific contributions.  If Einstein had never existed, we would have missed out on the quantum leaps he made.  But we have billions of years.  There is no hurry.  We’ll pick it all up eventually.  But currently, as we head for the New Jerusalem, we’ll become too stupid to do much theoretical physics, etc.      
    I want to say something to the suicide bombers,  I want to tell you that I hear you loud and clear (pointing at the camera). You see that the West has violated the taboo, and you don’t with your burkas.  Your mullahs have issued a directive that the West is the Great Satan.  They were too timid.  We’re in planetwide Hell, and that includes you in the Middle East. You Muslims see all the dolls here in Hell.  I  am on the case.  I’m shortly going to remove them all.  In the meantime, I ask you to lighten up and stop the bombings.  And the carnage.  What you’re after, I shortly will accomplish.  Listen to me, suicide bombers!  I am totally against your cause, but because I’m also a fanatic, I understand you’re mental makeup.  Listen to me!  I’m going to put the dolls to sleep, and solve the problem.                                          Adolph Hitler had white armbands on his followers.  By the way, while I’m speaking of him, he is an excellent candidate to be the Antichrist.  He took the Christian cross and twisted it backward – the swastika.  He was a total misfit, a homeless man who couldn’t get laid, like someone 2000 years ago.  But unlike Jesus and I, Hitler turned to the darkside and served his master, Satan.  He , unlike Jesus and I, got only halfway toward being a god.  He was a demigod – half man and half god.  A little knowledge is a dangerous thing, and he knew just enough to cause big trouble.                               .     I  happily have never personally been homeless.  But I have been womanless all my life always, knowing that the woman who was meant for me has all this time been in the arms of another man.  This has always been hard to take.  Without a mate to help with the household chores, I  neglected them.  With the illness I have, I’m always preoccupied – always in a trance state.  I have frequent out of body experiences, where I go off on extended voyages to other worlds.  I don’t need a rocketship!  I am in continual meditation, and doing the chores is an unwanted distraction.  My house is pretty funky, and I  am personally funky.  You see the effects of this illness on the greasy, shabby clothes of the homeless.  In my new position as head of state, I will be able to have butlers attend to my everyday chores.  I will be privileged to stay in my trance state full time.                      .                                   This is a fascist state as of this moment, in case you didn’t know.  In fact, it is the dictatorship of the proletariat.  It is rule by the meek, or, as  Jesus said, ‘the last shall be first.’  I’m ready to rock and rule – a 1982 film.  I’ m getting ready to hoist the Jolly Roger (skull and crossbones. – I hold up a Jolly Roger flag).  This is our new national flag.  This is a now pirate state – a rogue state.  This nation is canceling it’s membership in a number of organizations.  We are no longer a part of the United Nations, the World Trade Organization, the World Bank and many other organizations.  We are abrogating numerous treaties, such as NAFTA.  When the lease for renewal comes up, the U.N. will be kicked out of New York city and the U.S.                         With the armbands, everyone will see those recorded in the Book of Life everyday.  These people are the Elect, and it has nothing to do with what they believe.  I  reward and punish you based solely on what you do in the bedroom.  The armband wearers are declaring in public that their behavior in the bedroom is straight and narrow, as everyone’s always should be.  Nothing else matters.  As time goes by, you’ll be seeing more and more of the Elect.  And over time, they will more and more assume positions of leadership – their rightful place.  These Elect will form the new Ruling Class.  They will form up my High Command, at my right hand side.  By the time we get to the New Jerusalem centuries from now, we’ll remove the armbands, because everyone there will be recorded in the Book of Life!             The last thing you think you want is a king  But, it is mandatory to have a king, and he must have the power of life and death.  It is my (God’s) mandate.  The correct form of government is theocracy with God incarnate in the flesh as head, always a male virgin and totally mad.  John of Patmos had prophesied that I will rule with a Rod of Iron.  And I and all my successors will. The government of Tibet is structured like this with it’s Dali Lama.  The way this works  is:  I only grant audience to those I summon.  And you voluntarily decide whether to appear.  I call on you, you don’t call on me.  I hang ‘em high!  You displease me, I execute you. All the democratic republics around the world have degenerated into chaos and anarchy.  Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty, and you have failed in your responsibility.  You kissed off your republic in the sixties, when sexual immorality and orgies broke out.  But it is true that once we get to the New Jerusalem, and we live in small settlements, there will likely be few kings.          My religion is Christianity, but politically I have never been anything but a hard core communist.  I’ll say more later about that.  Every person in the Book of Life will wear their white armband whenever they’re out in the public.  They are the virgins, those who have been chaste for more than five years, and all those who have been faithful to their spouses.  I realize that some of the latter will be hypocrites, that in point of fact they have committed adultery but won’t admit it.  I’m proud of the Catholics who, under severe pressure here in Hell, maintained the requirement that priests must be celibate.      I said my father was a Baptist preacher.  All versions of Protestantism, such as Baptists, Presbyterians, Methodists, etc., trace back to Martin Luther.  He was a marvelous theologian with a strong hatred of the Devil.  But what is the one thing about him that everyone in the audience knew as he was preaching in the pulpit?  Everyone knew that he was a lapsed monk who married a former nun.  He was getting his.  He was getting laid.  He can’t tell anyone anything.  And neither can any Protestant minister.                                                .    Back to the armbands.  No divorced people can wear armbands.  Anyone who had had oral sex (Bill Clinton) is not a virgin.  All children when they first begin to walk will wear the white armband.  This way, everyone can see who is recorded in the Book of Life – the Elect.
    Whatever religious faith you believe in put on the armband.  Put a gold cross for Christians, crescent for Muslims, Star of David for Jews, black 0 for atheists, hammer and sickle for Communists (I’m one of the last of them on the planet), question mark  (?) for children, etc.  Remember that Hitler had all Jews wear a yellow Star of David.  They were thus labeled as outcast vermin on the bottom.  Here those Jews eligible will wear the white armband to indicate that they are on top – the Elect.  Again, ‘the last shall be first.’
In addition to a marker for their faith, virgins will have a V on their armband.  Those with a V are eligible for my High Command.  Those who are chaste will add a C.  Those who’ve been faithful to their spouses will add M for married.  

                Instant Prophet

    I can make anyone an instant 100% accurate prophet.  What was the one thing that everyone knew in the Roman Empire at the time Jesus was preaching in Gallilee, even without newspapers? They all knew that in the Roman Cities, especially Rome itself, they were having fabulous orgies.  The automatic consequence is that Rome was going to fall.  And we have had even better,  more astonishing orgies starting in the late sixties.  The only thing that slowed it down somewhat was AIDS.  The orgies held in Rome can’t hold a candle to the orgies we’ve had here.  Thus, Western Civilization is toast.  The horse (Western Civilization) we’re riding has keeled over.  And there’s no use beating a dead horse. The writing’s on the wall!  The moving finger has writ!  Tis nothing less than the end of the world!  The stars are falling out!  As Chicken Little proclaims, ‘the sky is falling!’  Chicken Little is on movie screens November, 2005.

                                                     The Witches

    I’m here on a mission.  I’ve come to remove all the dolls!  These are dreamgirls, and that is precisely where they should be.  You should never be able to see them in flesh and blood.  I’m going to put them in back your dreams where they belong.  And after I remove them, you’ll dream about them at night – you’ll  remember how gorgeous they looked and have wetdreams about them.
    I’m going to take them all back to  where they came from – back to Witch Mountain.  That’s their home – they like it there.  And at night when the moon comes out, they’ll all strip naked, join hands in a circle, and do the moondance, the Witch’s Sabbat.  I am going to make sure and keep  them there once I have them there, and you’ll see no more dolls.
    This is a Witch Hunt!  The one and only original Witch Hunt, and I’m the Witchfinder General!  Let me be clear.  I’m not talking about the little pagans or wiccans.  There aren’t many of them, and they are all nitwits.  They don’t have any power at all.  If they were real witches they would recognize the millions of powerful witches, the dolls, we have here in Hell.

                My Favorite Sport

    Now I want to describe my favorite sport.  It is the sport of aristocrats, the sport royalty, the sport of kings and the sport of Gods.  This is how I did my magic act and raptured billions out.  What I do is a dance. Quoting the song: ‘”I got a new dance, and it goes like this’”  But actually, it’s an ancient dance going back to the Stone Age shamans.  This is the dance that all native medicine men do.  
    Let me give some names for my what I do:  Rain Dancing, Rain Making, Doing The Swerve, Space Fucking, Fairy Fucking and finally the best and most descriptive name:  Fairy Bowling. Feel free to practice this by yourself or in groups.  Develop your own style.  Have fun with it.     
    I stand and start flipping, flinging, flipping, flinging, flipping.  As a wizard, I’m going to call up a rainstorm, thunder and lightning (holding my arms up, I start flipping , flinging,  flipping). This is the gesture that priests use when sprinkling holy water.  I’m a thunder roarer!  I get it working, get it working, flipping, flinging.  What am I flipping?  It never was about liquid H2O, water.  What I am flipping is sperm.  I get it working, working and after a while the slime starts flying here, there and everywhere.  Eventually it starts raining men planetwide.  My fellow mad people know about this rain that falls on a sunny day – a phrase  from a rock lyric.  The cliché bag lady who wears tin foil to protect herself knows about the lightning I send.  Mad people use the metaphor of being struck by lightning or electricity.  But it is just drops of jism.  When you’re struck by jism, its hot and it sizzles, and you think of lightning or electricity.                       The idea is:  in my mind’s eye, I see her.  She’s miles away, and there is no phone line. But I’m going to let her know that she’s a gorgeous doll, and that I am the man she should be with,and not the man she is actually with.  It’s a long distance love affair.  I’m going to send a guided missile straight towards her – a cruise missile.  She’s standing there as my cruise missile comes whipping towards her.  Remember Lot’s wife in Sodom.  She turned to stone – a pillar of salt.  So the doll is standing there and Bam! – she’s hit on the head with the big wad of cum I sent her.  Her eyes roll up until you see the whites.  Her mouth drops open.  She goes rigid and starts wobbling like a top  -she turns to stone – and then Boom! She falls still rigid to the ground.  (I crook my elbow and hold my arm up and clench my fist.  I cup my arm in my other arm.  Then I start wobbling my arm round and round until, finally, it goes flat).  Fairy bowling!  The idea of the sport is to see how many tenpins – dolls – you can knock over.  I’m the best ever at the sport.  I can knock over millions of dolls!
     Was I feeling any grief over the people I raptured out when I called up my storm?  Not at all.  They were all only devils here in Hell.  They were all warned.  Simply read the Book of Revelation.  I and my angels have been blowing the horn repeatedly since the seventies and not a single one of you repented.  But I did have two concerns with respect to my fulfilling John of Patmos’ promises.  First, I’m an elderly geezer and my member doesn’t come up like it used to.  I was concerned I would fizzle out and remove only a few million.  That  wouldn’t be enough to get you devils to change your behavior in the bedroom.  John of Patmos had promised a quarter to a third of the planet raptured out.  Secondly, when you call up a storm, there is always the danger that the wizard himself will get swept away, because it is uncontrollable and unpredictable.  Happily, I made it through, so that I could fulfill John of Patmos’ promise that I would be standing here giving you the Great White Throne Judgment of the Dead.

            Defeating the Whore of Babylon

    The question of the evening is:  Which man can bell the cat?  Which brave hero can slay the dragon?  Which man can defeat the Whore of Babylon?  Which man can domesticate the Whore – pacify her and put her to sleep?  Perceptive observers have noted that the Book of Revelation has the structure of a fairy tale.  It is not a fairy tale is the sense of being a myth or being untrue.  One part of the fairy tale is the fairy test:  Which man can defeat the Whore of Babylon?  Being a fairy test, if any man attempts and fails, the Whore gobbles you up and drinks your blood.  Many men have tried, and all have been gobbled up by the Whore and had their blood drunk.  The Whore is not a supernatural entity.  She is simply the collection of all the dolls – all the millions of dolls.  When you approach her, she’s gorgeous, and the first idea you have about how to pacify her is to unzip your pants and stick it in her.  If you try this way, you loose, and she gobbles you up and drinks your blood.  Instead, the way to defeat her is to keep your pants zipped up, raise you arm and slime her right between the eyes.  Her eyes roll up till you can see the whites and her mouth drops open.  You’ve put her under a spell, you’ve hypnotized her, she’s pacified.  She goes to sleep.  ‘Ding dong!, The Witch is dead, the Wicked Old Witch!’

        Getting You To Change you Bedroom Behavior

    Once we get to the New Jerusalem, everyone will know what everyone is doing in the bedroom.  This is not your private affair, or your own personal business.  It is vital that everyone knows exactly what everyone is doing in the bedroom.  Adam and Eve fell, because they were ashamed of their private parts.  We will not be ashamed of our private parts in the New Jerusalem.  We are going to fall again, but into innocence this time.  It will be public knowledge what we’re all doing in the bedroom.                                           In the defunct Marxist states, everyone’s every movement was under constant surveillance.  That was not what needed to be done.  The only thing that must be monitored is what everyone must know precisely what everyone else is doing in the bedroom.  Nothing else matters.  It must be public knowledge  This is what is not done here in the West.  You may have a little knowledge about what your fellow workers are doing in bed, but overall you don’t know as much as you need to know.                                                .    I’m going to tell the same story three different ways.  You are really going to have change your bedroom behavior.
    
    Version 1:  If you as a man walk into Sodom, where the one thing you’ve got is a woman (you can also have a man if that’s what you want). There is nothing else but total chaos and anarchy.  If in this place you cannot get laid, then suddenly you become an extremely important person .  Because all you have to do is get your willie working below your belt, and you can blow the place to smithereens!                                            .    Version 2:  Don’t try to put me, God, in Hell.  Don’t even think about it.  Satan is my servant and not vice versa.  If you do try, I ‘ll get my willie working below my belt and again blow the place to smithereens!                                            .    Version 3:  This is the stupid version.  My good man, your getting way to much.  It’s good stuff. And you’ve got more than you can handle.  I’m horny and I need a woman.   You’ve lots of women and I have none.  What are we going to do about it with me standing here?  If you don’t get your dick straightened out, how about me ripping your lungs out, friend!  I can’t stand it, and I won’t put up with it!
    Who is the most degenerate sex fiend on the planet?  Satan is a notorious degenerate, but has access to all the most gorgeous dolls on the planet who are all in his service and at his beck and call.  His lusts get slaked.  For me it is water, water everywhere, but not a drop to drink.  

                    I Must Rule!

    I was born to rule, and this is what you must let me do.  I came to power by blackmail.  I raptured out the people to demonstrate my power (just like the madman is my all time favorite movie,- ‘The Brain from Planet Arous’)   Like me, he was also a sex fiend.   The blackmail was either I rule, or I remove lots more.  I have an agenda. The planetwide New Exodus is here, and I’m going to lead you to the New Jerusalem.  This process will take several centuries.  I’ll say more later, but here’s an indication.  The New Jerusalem is all the multimillion inhabitant cities in ruins, and there are be no longer any nation states, with the total population of the planet much less than one billion.          No matter how much you may legitimately hate my guts, I must  rule!  And I have more blackmail so I can accomplish my mission.  I am the only person on this planet that  possesses the roadmap to the New Jerusalem.  No one else has a si

Paint stains

However, it is not as simple as writing a new coat of paint fading. Many stains are oil based, so the paint does not adhere to the wall in this area. You can also have a problem if you try to cover a stain mark black or white paint. Fortunately, a little preparation, even the toughest stains can actually be painted.

Of course, any paint job requires some preparation. Safety equipment such as coveralls, gloves, masks and goggles should be inspected for cracks or tears before going to the store of your home for your hardware. Insurance to cover all areas that do not want to paint dropcloths using plastic and tape. There is also a painter who specializes band is a little more robust, but paste least as repel the paint while being easy to remove at the end of employment.

Clean walls and ceilings thoroughly to remove oil, dirt and debris that can be mixed with paint that is ready for implementation. Of course, the dust from the walls before using the wet cleaning. Start from the bottom of the wall cleaning and work your way up to the top so that no drops on the newly cleaned surface. Everything dry completely before applying primer or paint layers. You will not trap moisture under the paint, as this could lead to mold problems in the future.

After giving the wall a general cleaning stains should be treated so they can be repainted. ink spots should be covered by using white correction fluid. Try to keep the liquid smooth and flush with the wall as possible. Let dry and then sand the bumps caused by applicator or bubbles in the liquid itself. small patches of water can also be covered with correction fluid or white wax. More importantly Water stains may require treatment with a chlorine solution. hydrogen peroxide diluted in a large bucket of water so it is 3-5% resistance, then use a long handled mop to clean hard to reach ceilings and corners.

Oil stains should be coated with a sealant before being primed and painted. Otherwise, the paint, simply drag the area, leaving the stain visible. Varnish also work as a sealer to keep the surface away of your oil painting again. pencil marks are often waxy and greasy and should be treated the same way. You may be able to remove the stain with dry cleaning solvent chalk or bubble bath. If none of these remove the brands, is likely to seal and paint over the stains.

New EPA RRP Lead Program Rules

So now the government wants to regulate Lead paint removal, huh? I guess there just isn’t enough work for them in the Gulf with the oil leak and all…right. Effective April 22, 2010 (Earth Day ironically enough) the EPA put into place very strict procedures that all renovators, including window replacement companies, must follow or be subject of fines of EXACTLY $37,500 per day! Hmmm, wonder what the meaning behind that number is? Oh well, I digress. Seems that the EPA wants to make sure that Window Replacement companies are held responsible if they circulate lead paint dust or particles into the homeowner’s environment without cleaning it up properly. On the surface, this sounds like a great idea because Lead Paint has long been linked to developmental issues with children under the age of 6 and birth defects in pregnant women. But upon further review they have created a 3-headed monster that they will not be able to control. First, they cannot inspect companies effectively to hold negligent installers’ feet to the flames. Second, they open the doors for home improvement companies to make this another profit stream when they overcharge unsuspecting or uneducated consumers with good ‘ol price gauging. Finally, there is no provision if YOU, the homeowner decides to do this on their own. That’s right you can tear your own home apart to your little old heart’s content and no problem with the government at all. You can unknowingly expose your children and pregnant wife to the very thing that the rule was intended and designed to eliminate, The government at least tried to try Jack Kevorkian for helping people assist in suicide. Here they say “Go right ahead and kill yourself, we don’t mind at all”. The basic premise of the rule is simple and has 3 components:
1. Communicate to home owners what you are going to be doing and have them sign off on it.
2. Eliminate all dust and debris from leaving the work area by containing it and using safe practices while working in the area.
3. Clean up afterward in such a fashion that there no mess that could be left over for any of the occupants to have to deal with.

Most companies are charging beetween $50 & $125 per window installed or even a fixed percentage of the total of the sale of up to 10%-25%. The current Opt-Out program is going away very soon and all window replacements will be subject to this type of red tape, regardless of size or region of the country unless your house is built AFTER 1978. You can check out all of the details at the EPA’s website http://www.epa.gov/lead/. So when you get the estimate from your local contractor and it is more than you thought it was going to be, remember that there is still even more in the cost that you never asked to HAVE TO PAY, but the EPA thinks you should pay for the changes that they think should be made. Perhaps they have a solution for th Gulf Oil issue, too…

Arts Education: basic techniques of classical realism oil painting

What is oil paint? Oil paintings on canvas. It is an indisputable definition. I thought the oil painting is more than that.

Any kind of figurative art (including oil paint) is believed to advance. The basic rules of studying drawing and painting are very closely related to the laws of the discipline.

Item 1. Paintbrushes

You should have many brushes so as not to waste time washing them while working. Take a new toothbrush for each new mix. Use round brush Kolinsky, No. 1 to No. 10. To cover larger surfaces, you need a little brush # 20 to # 35. For the last few races PRIPLAVLENIYE (final assembly), take a few round very smooth and flat brushes squirrel half size. Brushes should be treated with care. After each session, they must be washed with turpentine and then in warm soapy water.

Tip 2. Canvas

The paint should be initiated, plus a few more times, and finally, it must ground with sandpaper Fine. After the canvas with a knife scrape to remove the canvas texture till smooth dead surface similar to the egg surface is reached.

Section 3. Palette

The palette must be black and hard wood, best of all, pear. After The work wash the palette with turpentine and scrape with a razor blade. Before work wipe the palette with linseed oil.

Advice # 4. Paper

The

drawing plays natural size in detail. He was then transferred to the web of carbon paper. After the drawing is described in Brown ink, for the first layer of oil – imprimatur (transparent layer which is equal to the average height of the light, the object in painting) – Wash your pencils, but the ink is visible almost in the last layers.

Tip 5. But life objects

It is very important to have objects of still life in the study. Do not be stingy at garage sales and flea markets, you may regret later.

Section 6. Lacquer

Lacquer

Imprimatur contains 2% of the crystals DAMAR dry gas and 98% turpentine. The lacquer painting is 5-10% of dry resin and 90-95% of turpentine. A few drops of lavender oil are added directly to the can of oil. Scientists say lavender oil stimulates the brain. However, I think the old masters added to eliminate the odor heavy turpentine. The lacquer for the final step Damar crystals 30%, 3% linseed oil and turpentine 67%.

Tip 7. Cleaning Cloth

Before each new layer the canvas (ideally dried during 7 weeks) is carefully cleaned with half an onion (in preparation for the dry surface to absorb better) and then with linseed oil. After the canvas is rubbed with a soft cloth.

Item 8. Mixture

Imprimatur, or first paint layer. The canvas is covered with a liquid mixture based on Red Ochre, Yellow Ochre Light and Ivory Black (the mixture should be olive shade).

Council in September. Primer set

The basic configuration Painting is the following: "Rembrandt" oil colors: Flake White, yellow ocher, red ocher, shade Toast, Shade of Ivory and black smoke (7 basic colors) and four additional colors (if necessary) that I use in the past layers: Flake Yellow (instead also Use intense cadmium yellow), blonde deep lake, Chinese vermilion, Prussian blue. But be careful to use colors sparingly last April.

Council 10. PODMALYOVOK TEL'NII

The

TEL'NII the second (and skin tones in the first place: the main life colors) PODMALYOVOK (fifth and six layers). The first half is TEL'NII PODMALYOVOK ton more two shades lighter and lighter in color, and half of a darker tone and two tones lighter in shadows. The same is true of the second TEL'NII PODMALYOVOK.

Council 11. PODMALYOVOK

The dead layer – the fourth PODMALYOVOK – is made with white lead, light ocher, red ocher, and burnt bones. The aim of this PODMALYOVOK is dark. The image should look as if the objects were lit with moonlight – olive gray and cold. The colors are applied in thick, half tone higher, shadows are very transparent, half-tone lower.

Advice 12. LESSIROVKA

LESSIROVKA — The seventh layer: details of textures, thickness applied stresses, bright reflections, and signature. In this layer, you can use additional paints: Prussian blue, cinnabar, red, bright yellow (cadmium yellow glaze intense), deep madder.

Item 13. Shadow PODMALYOVOK

Shadow

PODMALYOVOK (The process of creating intermediate layers) is made with two layers umber (second and third layer). In the second layer all the details are made except for the texture. In the third layer LESSIROVKA its main mass is with a large brush.

Council 14. Music

Many painters get a load power of music. Stop listening to all music modern and start listening to classical music only. Try starting to love.

Finally, to stop looking modern art and stop love. vivid colors and modern color contrasts destroys the subtle vision of the artist who took risks to study classical painting in our time.

Since the 16th century to early 20th century artists have used the technique of seven layers. As the music, where there are seven notes, seven keys, and in each there are seven others. 7 days a week. 7 layers of paint. Each layer of paint on oil must dry for seven weeks. The energy we receive from old paintings in museums, like ghosts in the old castles of old paintings, is linked to the magic number.

Lead Paint Renovation

Lead paint dust: My kids are 11 and 13. Doing renovations. How many days can they sleep here with lead dust?

We haven’t tested the lead level in the dust yet. Just worrying. Renovations were the equivalent of stripping one door of paint, using a scraper. Most swept up but we can smell something bad. Don’t want to hear alarmists — just anyone with real info. Thanks.

It is important to protect yourself when dealing with lead paint. Adequately protect yourself by wearing a dual filter respirator, gloves and overalls. Make sure you aren’t working around pets or children. You should place down a tarp, or a similar plastic drop sheet to catch the paint for easy disposal. It is best to use a drop sheet that you don’t mind getting rid of.

Step 2To remove the paint you should avoid sanding. Creating dust from the lead based paint is generally not a good idea and should be avoided. Any dust created can linger and contaminate the home. While the effects of lead are not entirely known on humans and household pets, it is generally known to be harmful to health.

Step 3To remove the paint you can purchase a commercial system such as Peel Away and Let’s Clean. These are chemical solutions that will easily remove multiple layers of paint at once. However make sure you read the label to know if it is safe for the material you will be using it on. Some solutions may cause permanent damage to wood and other surfaces. Simply purchase one of these chemicals and apply to the surface as per instructions, you will find that the paint comes off very well.

If something is put on a shelf at a store, do HAVE to let you buy it?

I’m an avid transformers collector. The new movie toys aren’t supposed to be on the shelves till may 30th, but despite that street date, some stores like have been putting them on the shelves and letting people buy them. But I’ve also read some stories this week from a transformers news site I’m on that some stores have been putting them on shelves, but then when you go buy them it rings up on register as “DO NOT SELL” a manager comes and apologizes and says they’re not on sale till may 30th and takes them away. So my question is, unless its like a recall because of safety (lead paint, broken parts, danger to kids, etc) once it’s on the shelf is there some type of law that would make it to where they HAVE to let you buy it regardless of any street dates?

No because it’s a source of marketing because they want a line and sort of like a “count down”. Its a tease and crappy they do it but its not illegal, just business. Employees may not know they arent suppose to stock it yet-not all managaers are good ones! Hope this helps!

Lead paint

Toxicity

Main article: Lead poisoning

Although lead improves paint performance, it is a dangerous substance. It is especially damaging to children under age six whose bodies are still developing. Lead causes nervous system damage, stunted growth, and delayed development. It can cause kidney damage and affects every organ system of the body. It also is dangerous to adults, and can cause reproductive problems for both men and women.

One myth related to lead-based paint is that the most common cause of poisoning was eating leaded paint chips. In fact, the most common pathway of childhood lead exposure is through ingestion of lead dust through normal hand-to-mouth contact during which children swallow lead dust dislodged from deteriorated paint or leaded dust generated during remodeling or painting. Lead dust from remodeling or deteriorated paint lands on the floor near where children play and can ingest it.[citation needed]

Regulation

The European Union has passed a directive controlling lead paint use. The United States government banned lead paint by the Consumer Product Safety Commission (16 Code of Federal Regulations CFR 1303).

Lead paint in art

In art, lead white is known as flake white, also sometimes known as Cremnitz white. Flake white is traditionally considered to be the most structurally sound underpainting layer for oil painting, possessing a combination of flexibility, toughness, and permanence not found in other paints, and certainly not in the other white pigments. Genuine flake white is difficult for artists to obtain in many countries, even though other toxic paints (such as the cadmium-based colors) may be readily available. Where flake white is currently available to artists, it is usually only in small tubes designed for painting, not in the larger cans traditionally used for underpainting (coating the canvas prior to the actual painting) which for centuries was flake white’s most important purpose.

Artists’ use of lead paint is mostly associated with oil painting on linen or cotton canvas. In the relatively rare cases where it has been used in works on paper, it will often become discolored over long periods of time. This is due to the reaction of the lead carbonate in the paint with traces of hydrogen sulfide in the air and with acids, often from fingerprints. As a result, many older works on paper that used lead paint now show some discoloration.

Substitutes

Paint manufacturers replaced white lead with a less toxic substitute, titanium white (based on the pigment titanium dioxide) which was first used in paints in the 19th century. (In fact, titanium dioxide is considered safe enough to use as a food coloring and in toothpaste, and is a common ingredient in sunscreen.) The titanium white used in most paints today is often coated with silicon or aluminum oxides for better durability. Titanium white has been criticized for leading to “chalkiness” when mixed with colors, and the possibility of decreased permanence of organic pigments mixed with it due to its high refractive index.

Zinc white is less opaque than titanium white, and is often seen as a superior white for lightening other pigments in mixtures. Although zinc white is the standard white for the watercolor medium it has long been of debatable permanence in oils. Critics of the pigment argue that its use leads to excessive cracking and delamination, even when very sparingly mixed with other pigments such as lead white.

Some art-supply manufacturers supply a “lead white hue,” a mixture, usually of titanium and zinc white, which attempts to imitate the hue of genuine lead paint without the toxicity. It does not, however, have the desirable structural (physical) properties of lead white.

Real estate maintenance and renovation

Humans can be poisoned during unsafe renovations or repainting jobs on housing that has lead paint. Therefore, it is encouraged to carefully stabilize any deteriorated (peeling, chipping, cracking, etc.) paint in a lead-safe manner and take precautions during preparation for repainting.

Thanks!

Unwanted Discoveries Related To Health – Asbestos And Lead

Nearly any demolition carries with it the possibility that you will run into asbestos and lead, especially in older homes. These can be extremely hazardous to health and precautions should be taken.

Lead paint is primarily found in homes built prior to 1978. The older the home, the more likely that lead paint was used. Lead paint could be on the moldings, walls, ceilings, or even the floors. A prima¬ry danger is that children will chew on wood covered with lead paint.

Lead ingestion, either by inhalation or by swallowing, can pro¬duce all sorts of symptoms, including (at high levels) convulsions, coma, and death. At low levels it can adversely affect the circulatory system, the kidneys, the central nervous system, and the brain. It can cause problems such as hyperactivity, muscle and joint pain, high blood pressure, and loss of hearing.

How Do I Know If I Have Lead Paint?
Testing for lead paint is fairly complex, although simple tests are available for homeowners. The best approach is to have a technician approved by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) come in and test the area of your concern (as well as the entire house). The test costs around $350.

The danger in renovation with lead paint comes when someone tries to remove it. Burning paint off wood can release lead into the air. Sanding lead paint can release lead dust into the air. (Normal vacu¬um cleaners cannot capture lead dust—special filters must be used.) In short, when the lead paint is disturbed, it becomes a hazard.

Encapsulating lead—that is, painting over it—is not considered an acceptable method of dealing with it. The danger is that the paint could chip off or oxidize and the lead could still get into the home environment.

Perhaps the best way to remove the lead is simply to remove what¬ever it is painted on. Take off the molding and the lead paint goes with it. (Be sure it’s properly disposed of.) Remove the wallboard or plaster and the paint goes too.

Generally speaking, specialists (EPA-certified lead abatement technicians) are the only ones who can safely remove lead from a surface. However, anytime anyone is working around lead, that per¬son should wear an approved respirator. Be prepared for the cost. A total home removal of lead paint can cost $10,000 or more!

Asbestos can be much more of a problem. It can be found in floor tiles, sprayed on ceilings, and as insulation material wrapped around pipes (heating ducts as well as plumbing) or lining attics and roofs.

Breathing asbestos can lead to asbestosis, a lung condition that can result in death. It has also been linked to lung cancer and other diseases.

How Do I Recognize Asbestos?
Asbestos is a white material with fibers. But it can be difficult to iden¬tify. It can be in solid form, as in vinyl asbestos tile. To be sure, you should have a suspicious area tested. You can gather a sample of the material you are concerned about and send it off to a lab for testing.

For example, you may be concerned about removing floor tiles because they contain asbestos. You can send a portion of a tile in and have it checked. But be sure you send it to an accredited lab. Each state maintains labs accredited for this purpose. A clearinghouse can be found through the EPA (Web site: www.epa.gov/asbestos/index.htm).

If the asbestos is not sealed and fibers are breaking off—for example, if you are moving floor tiles contain¬ing asbestos, or working on ceilings sprayed with asbestos (as was done in the 1970s to create an “acoustical” look)—it’s another matter. Anytime asbestos has been disturbed it becomes a serious health hazard.

Again, only technicians specially trained in the removal of asbestos should attempt to handle it.

Do not remove asbestos yourself. Only if you have been specially trained in its removal should you attempt to get it out of your home. Otherwise, you could make the condition much worse, plus endanger your own life and those of your loved ones.

Removal typically involves sealing off the area so no air can escape to the outside, then installing fans and filters to capture the loose asbestos fibers in the air while workers in protective gear and respi¬rators remove whatever has broken loose.

Encapsulating asbestos is often considered an accept¬able means of handling it.

As a practical matter, a containment policy works well. If I suspect asbestos in floor tiles, for example, instead of removing the floor, with the inherent possibility of releasing asbestos fibers into the air and then paying to have it professionally removed, I will install a bar¬rier (such as plastic sheathing) and lay a new floor over the old. Many times a new floor can be “floated” over an existing floor, thus effectively encapsulating it. The same applies to dealing with asbestos in other areas, such as walls and ceilings, provided the asbestos has not been disturbed. Encapsulation of one sort or anoth¬er followed by creation of a barrier to keep the area from being damaged is usually the cheapest way out. The alternative—hiring a certified crew to come in and remove the asbestos—can cost more than your entire renovation project!

Don’t overlook demolition—it should be calculated into every home renovation job. Don’t dismiss the mess—it’s an unavoidable part of every home renovation.
