The Simple Beauty and High Performance of the Unmatched Ferrari California T

BY BLAINE HISLOP

Sporty appeal, Refined elegance, Sweeping versatility, And shimmering beauty. The Ferrari California T has been capturing the hearts of consumers and automobile aficionados for decades.

Marrying aesthetic appeal with robust performance, the Ferrari California T has been a popular seller since the 1950s.

It remains one of the most recognizable and enduring vehicle lines in the world.

The 2014 Ferrari California T offers a carbon-ceramic braking system.

Its electronic control systems feature CST with an F1 TRAC system. Its F1 gear box is defined by its dual clutch 7 gears and reverse. Its front suspension is double wishbone, while its back suspension is multilink.

53% of the Ferrari’s dry weight are distributed in the rear; 47% in the front.

It is well-balanced, well-proportioned, powerful, and beautiful to drive and wonderful for show. And, not least of all, it only emits 250g of carbon emissions every kilometre. The Ferrari California T is safe, smoothly functional, stylish, sophisticated and eco-friendly.

In addition to that, the Ferrari California T offers great fuel mileage for a high-performance luxury car. Its gas tank can hold 20.6 US gallons of fuel. And its fuel consumption is an excellent 10.5 liters per every 100 kilometres. For a vehicle that can go from 0-100 to 200 kilometres in 11.2 seconds and that can reach a top speed of 196 mph, fuel efficiency of that sort is simply unheard of. Put in simplest terms, the Ferrari California T is as good as anything on the market for offering an exquisite riding experience combined with terrific savings.

Try it to day and feel the difference.

rate and compromise the quality of your home. Lastly, put a price on your time, and do not underestimate how much of it you would need to invest in the project. Thus, unless you have some knowledge and interest in the field of construction management, I strongly recommend that you explore your contracting options before making a decision.

Despite the growing number of online and print sources of advice for property owners looking to custom-build their home, the construction process remains a daunting prospect for most. Clashing concerns about cost, time, and quality form a complicated “trilemma” that all ownerbuilders face. Choosing a contractor is typically the first and most important step towards building your home. However, many sources suggest that managing your own construction project is a viable money saving option. This brief article intends to offer some basic information about the role of a contractor, how to choose one, and whether you can manage without one.

The Role of the Contractor Once the contract is signed, the contractor takes full responsibility for completing the project within the agreed upon budget, specifications, and timeline. The tasks of the contractor include the following: - understanding the owner’s vision and interpreting the specifications of the design to plan a feasible project - establishing a payment schedule and distributing the budget among labour and materials - scheduling the construction - purchasing the materials and coordinating the deliveries - hiring, coordinating, and supervising the subcontractors - obtaining the necessary permits for construction or remodeling - detecting and resolving any problems that arise on site - communicating with the owner to provide progress reports and discuss options In addition to a wealth of knowledge and experience in various areas of construction, a good contractor benefits from a solid relationship with a network of sub-contractors and vendors who are aware of the standards expected from them. Throughout the construction process, the contractor communicates with the owner regarding progress of the projects and various options for going forward.

Can you be your own contractor?

Building a home can be a valuable experience for owners with some relevant skills and a long term interest in construction, but you must be cautious not to overestimate your potential savings if you are considering the DIY option for economical reasons. It is realistic to assume that about 10% of your budget would go to your contractor if you chose to hire one. This is the amount that some sources suggest you would save as your own builder. However, about half of this 10% would cover costs such as truck and tools, accounting, office expenses, and business related fees. As your own contractor, you would incur a portion of these costs, so your potential savings would be in the vicinity of 7%. But ‘potential’ is the operative word here. Remember that a fulltime contractor can exploit his connections and keep costs down by negotiating better prices for materials and labour. This is a bargaining chip that you might lack. More importantly, an experienced builder’s technical knowledge prevents costly setbacks while keeping the team on its toes and maintaining standards.

You must be sure that you have the expertise and the time for this level of supervision; errors and delays can eat into your budget with a surprising

How to Choose a Contractor Choosing a contractor is not an exact science, and your first impressions will play a substantial role in your final selection. But you can start doing your research by asking your architect (if you work with one) or your experienced friends for recommendations. If possible, talk to owners of custom-built homes and familiarize yourself with the typical cost and timeline of projects similar to yours. This will help you adjust your expectations and enter negotiations with some information. Try to choose a builder whose work you are familiar with.

It is very important to select a builder whose forecasts about the project are professional, calculated, and realistic; a contractor who promises a mansion with a modest budget is setting you up for disappointment. Your contractor must have experience in completing projects whose scope and nature are similar to your project. Ask to tour some of his finished projects to ensure that the quality of his work meets your standards.

Here are some of the questions you should ask your prospective contractor: 1) How much experience do you have? How many homes have you built?

2) Can you give me a tour of a home you have built for another customer?

3) What type of warranty do you provide?

4) Will you provide any services in obtaining the city permit and architectural plan?

5) How do you charge your customers? Is it cost plus a percentage or is it a fixed fee?

6) What is your payment schedule?

7) How and when will the final price for my home be determined?

8) Who will oversee the construction of my home? Who should I contact for updates and information?

9) How and when can I make changes or upgrades in the course of the projects? Will there be any penalties?

10) How long will my home take to complete?

You will be spending a lot of time with your contractor, and you relationship will be largely based on trust (it’s a old school kind of partnership). Make sure that you can communicate easily, and that your tastes and philosophies align. Needless to say, it is vital to keep a written record of your agreements and communications throughout the process.

Top Tips to Sell Your Home

BY SOUDABEH ZARE

What factors are involved in selling your house and how your realtor can help you?

1- Pricing your home right The first step is to determine the best price for your home. A professional realtor can help you to find the right price for your property based on the houses sold recently in your neighborhood and what are listed at that moment as well.

2-Preparing your property: In order to put your property in “showing and selling” condition, take half the stuff out of your closets and storage then neatly organize what’s left in there. The more personal stuff in your house, the less potential buyers can imagine themselves living there.

3-Lighting your home up Maximize your home light.

4. Making marketing strategy A professional realtor should present you the best marketing plan.

5. Receiving an Offer Reviewing the offer which is in the form of a Contract of Purchase and Sale is the critical job of a realtor.

An offer includes reviewing documents, financing and inspection subjects, completion, adjustment and possession dates. Your realtor should review it in details as far as accuracy, sufficiency and completeness are concerned.

6. Negotiating the price To get the best deal, an agent needs to be familiar with the finer points of the home selling game. A realtor brings knowledge and experience which can be deciding factor in bid for your home.

7. Closing the deal: A realtor can help you to have an accepted offer, smooth completion, transfer ownership to the buyer, provide you with the services of lawyer until you get the successful sales on your home.

Time Has Come for a New Face in Town GWC offers exceptional timepieces and luxury in the heart of downtown Vancouver.

It’s a familiar name and location, but the new Global Watch Company (GWC), at the corner of Hornby and West Georgia in the heart of downtown Vancouver, zeros in on haute horlogerie and fine diamond jewellery. The collection at GWC includes exceptional Glashütte Original, Ulysse Nardin, and Longines timepieces, and the rarest of diamond jewellery, including a 7.75 carat intense yellow diamond ring.

“Our attention to detail, along with knowledgeable staff trained by the brands themselves, will really enable our clients to be immersed in the world of haute horlogerie, exclusivity, and luxury” Sassan Pourfar, Co-Founder of GWC. Though operating under a different name, the new boutique is still very much a part of the Lugaro family, but has been designed to emphasize the exclusive nature of the products it represents.

Longines concept boutique at GWC

Inside GWC, you will find three separate boutiques, one for Glashütte Original, one for Longines, and one for Ulysse Nardin.

There is also a space for carefully selected diamond jewellery. In particular, GWC features a whopping 7.75 carat yellow diamond ring ($330,000) and a pair of emerald drop earrings, similar to those worn

by Angelina Jolie at the Academy Awards.

While luxurious stones are part of the mix, Pourfar emphasizes that the timepieces are still the stars of the show.

“We are the only boutique in Canada for Glashütte Original and the only concept boutique for Longines” says Pourfar.

The real showstoppers include a Men’s Glashütte Original PanoLunar Tourbillon ($146,500) in rose gold. This masterpiece features the Flying Tourbillon centred at hour seven.

Glashütte Original PanoMatic Inverse

There is also a PanoMaticInverse available in rose gold or stainless steel ($37,500 / $18,600) which showcases the exceptional achievement in the art of engineering from Glashütte Original. The automatic movement is visible through the duplex swan-neck adjustment on the face of the watch.

The inaugural VIP Grand Opening Reception was held on January 29th. The ribbon cutting ceremony was performed by Vancouver City Councillor, Heather Deal, Country Manager & Omega Brand Manager at Swatch Group Canada, Hazem Sbayteh, Sassan Pourfar, Vice President of Lugaro/Co-Founder of GWC, Steve Agopian, President of Lugaro/Co-Founder of GWC. The night featured live entertainment, beer and wine tasting, and a McLaren car showcase.

Foam

BY KOUROSH ASADI

EPS Foam (Expanded Polystyrene) is everywhere in our experience.

Its virtues of being lightweight and shock absorbent has made it familiar to us as insulation in boxes holding our favorite devices as we excitedly open them. Its low thermal conductivity has made it familiar to us as coffee cups we drink from every morning. Its low cost and the fact that it’s recyclable means it has myriad applications everywhere from the construction to the film industry.

Now it has yet another use!

Kourosh Assadi, artist and president of Kourosh Studio, has been using EPS Foam as an artistic medium for sculptures, wall panels, accent pieces, and statues for many years. His sculptures are hand carved and custom designed to grace any lobby, hallway, office, community room, media room, waiting area, bar, restaurant, or wine cellar in any residential or commercial space. Partial walls and dividers are innovative specialties created by Kourosh Studio that are functional and attractive. Art Pieces are meticulously carved to mimic elegant wood, marble, and precious metals. All Kourosh Studio creations are easily installed on walls or ceilings. Come into our studio and see the elegance of artistically carved EPS Foam-sculpture for yourself !

A Journey to Century Cabinets History Century Cabinets was founded in 2000 with a simple principle: provide high quality custom cabinetry and countertops at an affordable price point with the best service possible. Our journey began as just a single man working out of a barn, but over the years we have seen tremendous growth and have become one of the leading kitchen cabinet companies in the lower mainland. In 2002, we moved our facilities to our current Port Coquitlam location, which houses our production factory as well as our main showroom. After seeing tremendous demand in the Vancouver and North Shore markets, Century Cabinets made our first expansion by opening our Vancouver showroom in 2006. This was followed shortly by another expansion into the rapidly growing Pitt Meadows/Maple Ridge market in late 2006.

Then in 2011 Century opened up another company called Sienna Flooring to accommodate there valued customers with one stop shopping. Then in 2013 a fifth showroom was opened in the Kitsilano area.

Our ownership boasts over 30 years of experience in cabinet industry, as well as mill-working, building and contracting experience. As a result, we are able to design and fabricate virtually any project to suit your needs. Our experience lets us be more than just box-makers. We can truly do virtually any custom cabinetry, the only limit is your imagination! We serve thousands of customers every year within the lower mainland and across Canada. In addition, we even receive international orders from the US, Japan, and even as far as South Africa!

Total Commitment To Our Customers At Century Cabinets, we believe that our greatest asset is our customers. That’s why we always strive to ensure every one of our customers is totally satisfied with Century Cabinets experience. We think that total satisfaction goes far beyond simply offering the cheapest price. Our dedicated sales staff listen to your ideas, provide helpful suggestions, and make sure you are completely happy with cabinet designs, materials, and colors before we proceed with your order. We then conduct a comprehensive site measurement to ensure that all of the cabinetry fits exactly as it should, without the need for useless spacers and fillers. Finally, we believe that after-installation service and support is just as important as before installation. That’s why we are always here for our customers, to listen to their concerns, answer their questions, and make sure that they are completely satisfied with their purchase.

Factory Direct Beyond our customer relations, it’s also important that everything be installed in a timely manner. Since we produce all our cabinetry ourselves, we have total control over the entire production process. This allows us to make sure that your entire order is always ontime and done right. If, for any reason, changes need to be made to the cabinetry, we have the production capabilities to quickly alter your order without causing any major delays. You can compare this with other cabinet companies who order their cabinets from some manufacturer located in Ontario, the United States, or even Europe! As you can imagine, if anything were to go awry, you may encounter weeks of delays in order to complete your order!

Experience Lastly, there is simply no substitute for our experience.

We boast not only years of cabinet making experience, but also mill-working and construction experience, which are vital to ensuring that your cabinets and countertops turn out just the way you imagine.

In addition, our extensive experience allows us to recommend solutions to your unique problems that you may not have even thought possible.

DON’T SINK MONEY INTO

THE WRONG HOME UPGRADES

If you’re considering home improvement or even just adding a few extra touches to freshen up the place don’t rush the process.

A plan is key for any successful remodeling job. You don’t want to pay for impractical or expensive home improvements that are out of style by the time you have to hang a “For Sale” sign in the yard. Instead, look for smart, traditional and fashionable upgrades to provide value and aesthetic beauty for years to come. While you’re looking for upgrades, consider these following tips for remodeling.

Kitchens Spacious kitchens with abundant natural light make cooking a pleasure, not a chore.

Light-colored kitchens can create an illusion of a bigger space.

Adding a skylight is another way of creating a spacious feel.

Multiple storage shelves and cabinets plus an extra sink will reduce counter clutter.

Built-in microwaves, dishwashers, six-burner ranges and convection ovens are great for utility and convenience.

An island range with bar stools promotes an inviting, social atmosphere.

Bathrooms Two-bath homes, plus a master bathroom, are

optimal.

Many home buyers see high-end items like whirlpools, Jacuzzis, steam and jet showers, double shower heads and hand-held sprayers as essentials.

Large storage cabinets, freestanding or builtin, are great.

Avoid all-white bathrooms—splashes of color reduce the sterile feeling.

Bigger is better. Tiny bathrooms are out.

Floors Hardwood flooring increases resale value, so keep hardwood floors in top shape by refinishing them. As an alternative, laminate flooring is typically cheaper than hardwood and a nice upgrade from carpet.

popular. Outdoor kitchens can boost resale value. If you live in a hot climate, an in-ground swimming pool can increase your home’s value. However, buyers in more seasonal climates may see pools as an inconvenience.

Ask a REALTOR® to see whether pools are popular in your area.

Additional Research Tips Attend home improvement shows. Consult with home designers, building contractors and handymen. Ask a REALTOR® for trusted references.

SINA TAJBAKHSH

Ceiling Fans Try to install ceiling fans that make use of a remote control. This will allow you to change speeds without getting up.

IS YOUR CONTRACT GOING TO HURT YOU? When doing a real estate transaction or any type of business, it is the hope of both parties that each party acts in good faith.

However, sometimes during a transaction a party’s motivation can change and put the transaction in jeopardy. To ensure that the transaction proceeds as agreed there is the contract of purchase and sale. One has to know how to use it to protect themselves during such a transaction. This article will talk about some of the circumstances that would motivate a party in a contract to break the agreement and a few points on how to protect one’s interest.

In a rapid changing market regardless of prices rapidly increasing or decreasing, a buyer’s and seller’s motivation can easily change. In the time between having an offer accepted and removing the subjects, the seller may receive another offer. This could be a higher offer than the one currently accepted and could potentially motivate the seller to cancel the transaction by making the current accepted offer null and void. This can be caused by a rapidly increasing market or by listing the property under market value. So what could the seller use to get out of the contract?

Once the offer is accepted and the only remaining step is the subject removal by the buyer, the seller will not have much to go on other than uncovering flaws or weak points in the contract of purchase and sale. One potential weakness could be the acceptance time, such as if the offer was actually accepted, signed and delivered after the expiration time of the offer. In that scenario the seller would

have an option of calling the offer null and void due to a breach of contract. In order to protect oneself from this, it is vital to make sure to submit all documents with the required signatures within the agreed time. In contracts, time is of the essence.

Another aspect of the contract of purchase and sale that can be used to break the contract is the time of the subject removal. Part of the terms and conditions of the accepted offer is a date on which subjects have to be removed.

Should the buyer or buyers’ agent deliver the subject removal past midnight of the due date, the seller can consider the contract null and void due to a breach of contract. If one foresees within a day or two that it may not be possible to remove subjects on time, asking for an extension from the selling party may be a viable option to consider in order to remain within the terms and conditions of the contract. However, if one asks for an extension and the sellers have another higher offer in place, it is unlikely that the extension will be granted.

The deposit is also a very important part of the contract and one that could lead to a breach in the contract. Since the deposit is held in trust, it is recommended that the deposit be payable after the subject removal and not on acceptance of the offer. However, that is when the language of the contract can lead to either a weakness in the contract or another strong and clear term and condition of it. We have seen language in contracts that reads “deposit will be paid upon subject removal”, when is upon? Vague language in a contract can lead

to a potential breach and a court battle. In order to avoid any potential issues, having clear language such as “deposit will be paid within 48 hours of subject removal” is highly recommended.

Remember, buying or selling a house is often the biggest single investment for an individual or family. With that in mind, do not leave the success of a transaction only to the goodwill of the parties involved, but protect oneself and family by having enforceable contracts and executing them effectively. For any questions or assistance with your real estate transactions feel free to contact me. I will be glad to use my experience and expertise in order to ensure your transactions are a success.

6 Keys Steps To a Successful

First Time Homebuyer Experience

BY GRANT POWELL

Being a first time homebuyer should be an enjoyable experience, but if you are not prepared it can become a very frustrating one. Here are six key areas during this exciting home buying process that need to be addressed.

1. Type of Property Purchase Have you asked yourself; “Will purchasing a property now get me on the right path to obtain my real estate goals? Will this first purchase be a flip to obtain more capital? Do I want to live in the property and enjoy the lifestyle, then sell in a few years and use the profits towards my next purchase? Should I buy a place strictly as an investment and get someone else to pay the mortgage by renting it out?” To help you determine which direction would make the most sense, I suggest you get a pre-approved mortgage. This will allow you to do all the realistic number crunching so you can make an educated decision.

2. Get Pre-Approved Shopping for a home is an emotional experience especially if you are out looking at luxury properties you may fall in love with but later find out they are out of your budget.

Get in touch with a mortgage broker to start the pre-approval process; it should only take a couple of days to get the answers you need to move forward. This process will determine a few of the most important things which are; budget, credit and employment or savings you need to work on before you look to purchase a property. It is best to know all of this before you put your valuable time into shopping for a place with a realtor. The last thing you want is to get an accepted offer to later find out that there is no way you can get the financing to purchase the property that you have already fallen in love with!

3. Hold off on Major Purchases Once you are pre-approved, if you are thinking of making a major purchase discuss this with your mortgage broker before taking action. You will need to make sure that a major purchase will not decrease your home-buying power as pre-approval is only based on your expenses. If you go out and finance a major transaction this new transaction will be taken into account in your overall debt and how you will be able to pay for your expenses on

4. Government offered Tax Credits, Rebates & Grants There are excellent programs available to first time homebuyers as residents in the province of British Columbia.

A) RRSP’s (HBP): This a federal government program, you can take advantage of using up to $25,000 (as a single person) or $50,000 (as a couple) of your registered retirement savings plan (RRSPs) to purchase a home. There are a few rules to qualify; the complete information is listed on the Canada Revenue Agency site. Here are a few of the conditions as stated by Revenue Canada.

You must be considered a first time homebuyer. To qualify the RRSP funds must be on deposit for 90 days before you wish to withdraw those funds to use for the down payment. You must intend to occupy the qualifying home as your principal residence. You must be a resident of Canada at the time of the withdrawal. These funds are non-taxable as long as they are paid back into your RRSP within a 15-year period.

B) Tax Credit (HBTC) In 2009 the federal government came up with another incentive to help first time homebuyers with the expenses that occur when purchasing your first home. This credit provides $750.00 in federal tax relief within the calendar year you purchased the home.

It’s simple to claim. When it is time to file your taxes, make sure your accountant is aware of your home purchase and provide him or her with your Statement of Adjustments.

The solicitor would have given you a copy of this document at the time you signed the final papers to purchase your home.

44

C) Property Tax Exemption: In the province of British Columbia, there’s a Property Transfer Tax, which was put into effect in 1987.

This tax is based on the purchase price of a home and it is calculated at one percent of the first two hundred thousand and two percent of the balance. So on a $400,000 purchase, the tax would be $6,000.00. As a first time homebuyer you may qualify for a partial or full exemption if this tax. There are a few rules and regulation that you need to follow in order to make sure you qualify. For more information on this topic and other helpful home purchasing information, check out www2.gov.bc.ca 5. Finding a Realtor Since purchasing a home is a negotiation of price, dates and possibly other components, make sure you have your own realtor when going into the offering stage of any property. When searching for and purchasing a home, there are many things that need to be considered and occurrences that will take place during the process so having a trusting relationship with a realtor will help make the process run smoothly. A good realtor is not only there to help you to find your perfect home, negotiate price and dates, they are also a source of information for neighborhood, schools, parks that would suit your family needs or best location for investment short term, long term, rental return etc.

6. Saving for a Down Payment/Closing Costs To purchase a home, you need a minimum of 5% down payment. This can come from your savings, investments, RRSP, a non-refundable gift from immediate family or even borrowed funds. You will also need closing costs of roughly 1.5% of the purchase price. This covers expenses such as; conveyance fees, Tax Adjustments, title insurance, property transfer tax if applicable, and any other fees that may be applicable upon your transaction. When it’s time to close and take procession of your property, you will need an appointment with your predetermined conveyance lawyer/notary approximately five to seven days before the procession of your property purchase. For this meeting the conveyance lawyer/notary will ask you to bring a few things such as a couple pieces of photo identification, the balance of the down payment and closing costs minus the deposit you had already given at Subject Removal.

Keep in mind as with all mortgage programs, credit is VERY important in the interest rate you will pay, so maintain healthy credit habits. If you need some tips on how to keep your credit score increasing or have any questions on this article do not hesitate to contact me: grant@alternativemortgagefinancing.net or 604-6086905.

FEW TIPS IN HEALTH AND FITNESS BY FARINAZ when it comes to exercising for weight loss,

many think that the only way to lose the extra fat is by doing cardio. It’s true that doing cardio exercises help with burning calories, however supplementing resistance training (weight lifting) to your program will increase your results by 60%, if done right!

Canadian health and fitness has suggested all adults to exercise 60 minutes/6days a week.

For some people it’s hard to fit that in their schedule. Knowing the right exercise, with no equipment necessary can help everyone, no matter what age or gender and how busy their schedule is, to fit that 60 minutes in to their daily routine.

Thanks to internet and social media these days it’s quite easy to find these exercises.

A couple of tips to remember during the day in terms of exercising and healthy life style: 1) For every push there must be a pull! For

48

example: if you do push ups then you must do some kind of rows. My personal favorite is plank and row.

2) If you are not suffering from any sort of joint or ligament injury you must put a plyometric exercise in your routine: for example: squat jumps. plyometrics elevate your heart rate, which helps increase of blood flow into your heart and muscles, strengthen your heart and also helps burning more calories in less time.

3) Have an isometric core exercise in your routine. For example holding plank for 30 seconds.

4) Work all muscle groups. There are no more only leg days or arm days! (If your goal is to lose weight and get in shape)

that the body cant tell the difference between hunger and thirst, which means a lot of the times that you feel hungry and you start to eat over your calorie limit, you can just drink more water and satisfy your cravings.

2) Try to have protein in every meal, or snack, for example for day snack have 10 almonds and an apple. Perfect combination of protein, fat, fiber and carbohydrates.

3) Limit your carbohydrate intake after 7pm, try to have more vegetables at night. For example for dinner have a grilled chicken breast with some broccoli.

The key to success in weight loss is constancy.

Think about changing your life style not starting a short term diet.

1) Minimum 2 liters of water is a must! If you find it hard to drink water on cold days, simply have hot water instead. Some studies suggest
