MONTREAL - According to industry experts, there are over 33 physical problems that will come under scrutiny during a home inspection when your home is for sale. A new report has been prepared which identifies the eleven most common of these problems, and what you should know about them before you list your home for sale. Whether you own an old home or a brand new one, there are a number of things that can fall short of requirements during a home inspection. If not identified and dealt with, any of these 11 items could cost you dearly in terms of repair. That's why it's critical that you read this report before you list your home. If you wait until the building inspector flags these issues for you, you will almost certainly experience costly delays in the close of your home sale or, worse, turn

Pairing wine and Coco for St. Valentine’s Day WINE PAIRING - Today is Valentine’s Day – a special day of the year that is consecrated for the celebration of love. Valentine’s Day is a day when friends and lovers get together to express affection for each other. A wine and chocolate pairing activity is an original way to share the tenderness for each other. Not only are red wine and dark chocolate some of life’s greatest pleasures, but they are also fantastic for the health. These two items have been proven to cut down the risk of heart disease. As you know, red wine possess a very powerful antioxidant named resveratrol, which works in team with Vitamin C to lower the formation of blood clots, and reduce cancer risk. In addition dark chocolate has a property to reduce blood pressure. Beyond the health benefits, a chocolate wine pair-

ing is a feast for the senses. So follow this method for St-Valentine’s day and repeat as required. Hold the stem of your glass as you stare into the penetrating red color of your wine and the dark soothing brown nuances of the chocolate. Right after bring the glass to your nose and take a deep whiff of the wine bouquet… ahh. At this moment you and your Valentine have to enfold the moment with a cling of your glasses. Finally, to complete the pairing activity you must taste a piece of chocolate, by letting it warm in your mouth, sipping your wine and allowing the flavors to do the rest of the work.

How to pair wine with chocolate
If chocolate is not paired correctly with wine, you could end up with a not so great experience in your palate. For this reason, matching wine with chocolate should be approached with attention to flavors. The important rule to remember is quite simple- pair similar things together. For example a lighter chocolate goes better with a lighter red wine and a darker chocolate suits better a more structured wine. For instance, Cabernet Sauvignon is an ideal partner for dark chocolate. A merlot could do the job with a mid bittersweet chocolate. It takes some pairing practice to find the ideal match but more important, the one you like. A word of caution for white chocolate White chocolate is silkier and quite buttery in flavor, making it a perfect partner in crime for some sweet styles of Sherry, and Moscato d'Asti. The two wine styles will absorb the chocolate's creamy texture. Another option, for matching wine with white chocolate is the contrast technique. While very risky, when is done correctly, the match is unbelievable For example, if you take the high alcohol and intense fruit profile of a California Grenache and pair it with the delicate texture and silkiness of white chocolate, it can have an unusual bonding effect. The wine's tannin mellow under the chocolate's fat profile and make shine the ripe Grenache fruit right to the surface. Happy St Valentine’s day and have fun with your wine chocolate pairing exercise.

During a recent press tour that I participated in, I could easily understand why Ann Arbor has garnered so much acclaim as a college town and tourist destination. You don’t have to be a student at the University of Michigan to enjoy what this city has to offer; yet you are quickly swept up in the academic atmosphere that envelopes much of Ann Arbor, and the friendliness of its people certainly makes you want to become more than just a visitor (and believe me, the plethora of bookstores could have quickly made up my mind).

Michigan Wolverines football team locker room The University of Michigan – which marked its 200th anniversary last year – forms the nucleus of life in Ann Arbor. And no matter where you go throughout the town, you can’t help but see residents and students alike wear the navy blue and maize yellow gear that not only represents the university, but also its legendary football, hockey and basketball teams, which all carry the nickname of the Wolverines. And speaking of the football team, you can’t visit Ann Arbor without stopping by its massive home venue since
14
1927, Michigan Stadium, which is better known as the “Big House” (www.mgoblue.com/facilities/michiganstadium). Known as the largest sports stadium in the Northern Hemisphere, the Big House has a seating capacity of over 107,000 (and all of them are always filled during a Wolverines home game). And how did it get its “big” name? That was thanks to the late ABC sports caster Keith Jackson, who dubbed it the “Big House” while doing the play-by-play during a game at the stadium. Tours are given three times a day at the Big House, and admission is only $15. During the VIP tour we got at the stadium, we were shown practically every aspect that proved why Michigan Stadium earned its nickname, and why it is such a gargantuan sports experience, from the 78 private suites, to the press box and announcer’s booth, to the Wolverines’ locker room, to walking onto its enormous field and getting our pictures taken on the big “M” situated on the 50-yard line. As well, the suites and reception rooms are available for rent during the off-season for weddings, receptions and even high school proms. As I was taking in what the Big House was all about, I couldn’t help but be awed by the history and tradition that the Wolverines created within these walls over the past 90 years, and whether they be a coach (like Bo Schembechler, who guided the team to 14 championships), a broadcaster, or a player (such as Heisman Trophy winners Desmond Howard, Charles Woodson and Tom Harmon, who is the father of actor Mark Harmon, and 1932-33 All-American player – and future U.S. President – Gerald Ford), you can see how such a huge sense of pride echoes from these walls. And by the way, if you like to catch a Michigan Wolverines football game during the season, ticket prices for non-students range from $65 to $125 ($25 for students); and games against rivals Ohio State, Notre Dame and Michigan State are hard to come by.

If you plan to visit Ann Arbor during the early part of the Christmas holiday season, here are some suggestions that must be on your itinerary. Kindle Fest, which takes place at the Farmer’s Market in nearby Kerrytown, is a traditional outdoor holiday market, where you can purchase handmade gifts, crafts and food products, not to mention enjoy plenty of free entertainment, from Christmas carollers to Klezmer bands. And don’t forget to purchase your souvenir boot-shaped Kindle Fest mug for only $10 (and for an extra $5, you can fill it with a traditional hot spiced wine beverage that’s exclusive to the region). Midnight Madness is an excellent way to do your Christmas gift shopping in a fun, festive manner for the night owl in you. Usually held during the first Friday in December, Midnight Madness involves every store in the downtown area, where they are not only open until midnight, but offer special sales and discounts that only happen during that event, and with plenty of entertainment and activities to boot. And one store that gets plenty of visitors is the M Den, the University of Michigan’s official pro shop. This massive two-storey outlet is where students and visitors alike can get their official navy blue and maize yellow Wolverine gear, and has a huge selection of merchandise that caters to any sport, type of item or budget, whether it be t-shirts, caps, mugs, leather briefcases, authentic Wolverine football jerseys or bobble heads bearing the likeness of coach Bo Schembechler. And while you are wandering around from store to store during Midnight Madness, and you see a multitude of costumed university students on practically every street corner, it’s not a freshman or fraternity prank. Actually, it’s all part and parcel of the Midnight Madness experience. Called “Galens Tag Days”, it has been an Ann Arbor tradition since 1927, as the Galens Medical Society and University of Michigan medical students take over the streets of Ann Arbor throughout that weekend and brave the cold weather to raise money in order to benefit the social programs and extracurricular activities that help to promote the health and wellbeing of the children of Washtenaw County. The students collect funds from passers-by, and are given a tag that they can attach to their jackets as an indication of their donation to the cause (hence the name “Tag Days”). However, people give more than a single donation, because they like to collect the tags that are available in four different colors. During the 2016 Tag Days campaign, the students amassed over $91,000. For more information about visiting Ann Arbor and what it has to offer tourists – and potential University of Michigan students -- check out the Ann Arbor Area Convention and Visitors Bureau website at: www.visitannarbor.org
The Ark (www.theark.org) is a live music venue in the heart of downtown Ann Arbor where music lovers gravitate and enjoy an evening of live music in an intimate setting that’s reminiscent of the hootenannies and coffee houses at the height of the folk music era more than 50 years ago. Volunteer driven, the Ark is a highlyorganized, tightly run operation where locals and college students alike can take in a variety of live shows from country, folk and Americana music, to regional entertainment and even spoken word. I happened to check out the Ark on two separate evenings: one was to catch “The Moth”, a popular series of first person storytelling that’s run in clubs and theatres across the U.S.; and Cold Tone Harvest, a Michigan folk/country group that has a tremendous cult following in the state thanks to their repertoire of lively original songs that deal with the blue collar life in the Rust Belt. www.mtltimes.ca WEDNESDAY

Of course, the Ann Arbor area has its share of live entertainment venues that offers plenty of quality local, regional and national performers. The Purple Rose Theatre Company (www.purplerosetheatre.org), located in the nearby town of Chelsea, was founded in 1991 by actor Jeff Daniels (the name came from the 1986 Woody Allen movie he appeared in, “The Purple Rose of Cairo”). The 168-seat theatre space produces four plays a year and attracts 40,000 spectators annually to see well-known plays, as well as productions that are written by Michigan playwrights that always have a regional flavour to them. “The Purple Rose always puts on plays that people want to see. We try to do good plays, and not propaganda; plays that make audiences aware of both sides of an issue with equal sides and clarity and has the power to move, enlighten and entertain at the same time,” said the theatre’s artistic director Guy Sanville, before we caught a matinee performance of Yasmina Reza’s acclaimed play “God of Carnage” at the theatre. By the way, Jeff Daniels still resides in the area (he lives about five miles from Chelsea), and recently shot a movie there called “Guest Artist”. He also regularly performs in the Ann Arbor area during the Christmas holiday season, when he headlines eight concert shows.
