Estate Carlton? - USVI Moving Center

Hi all,
I'm thinking about moving to Estate Carlton. No, I'm not new on island -- been here for 15 years. I'm looking for a little acreage to persue some horticultural interests, some quiet, and some good rainfall. I like the look of the area -- houses on large lots and big trees. I'm not looking at beachfront or even near the beach. My questions are for current or former residents of Carlton.

Crime any worse than anywhere else? How about noise -- airport, cars, ambulances, gunshots? Does the Diageo smell usually get as far as Carlton? Anything else I should think about before getting serious about real estate? Appreciate your time.

Happy New Year!

Top 20 Home Inspection Photos from 2012

We post a new home inspection photo on the?Structure Tech Facebook Page?five days a week. ?After pouring over all of our photos from the last year, we've come up with our favorite home inspection pics from 2012. ?Click on any of the photos for a larger view, and feel free to share.

Bent Outlet Cover -?Problem: I want an outlet right where the wall is angled, but I can't get the cover plate to fit.

Solution: Cut the cover plate and then caulk it in place.

Bent outlet cover

Worst Common Vent Ever -?How can you get four water heaters to backdraft at the same time? ?Just do something like this.

Worst Common Vent Ever

Outlet in duct -?Moving the outlet would have been too much work, so someone just cut a hole in the exhaust duct for the kitchen hood fan. ?Nice touch with the masking tape on the sharp sheet metal edges too.

Hole in duct for outlet

Furnace covers reversed -?furnace manufacturers intentionally make it?impossible?extremely difficult to get the upper and lower covers reversed. ?With enough tenacity, one can make it happen though. ?This allows most of the air to get sucked from the furnace room, completely bypassing the furnace filter. ?No wonder the furnace filter was so clean.

Furnace covers installed backwards

Deteriorated Chimney?- Flue gases from combustion appliances like furnaces and water heaters are corrosive; that's why you see a metal liner sticking out of most chimneys in Minneapolis and Saint Paul. ?When the appliance vents in to the chimney without a liner, the flue gases often condense near the top and then drip down and destroy the inside of the chimney.

This is also just one more reason why it's important for the home inspector to get on the roof whenever possible.

Optional Combustion Air -?Have you ever had one of those days where you felt... y'know... a little too fresh? ?Thanks to this person's nifty invention, the combustion air being pumped in to the furnace return plenum can be manually turned off.

Combustion air valve

Leaking Drain -?Awww, isn't that cute? ?We noticed a bunch of water on the floor in the basement after testing all of the first floor plumbing fixtures. ?To confirm the source of the leak, we filled up the kitchen sink with water, pulled the drain stopper, then ran downstairs to catch the leak in action.

Leak at Cast Iron Pipe

TwoFur -?Early attempts at one-piece kitchen faucet / sprayer combos failed miserably.

Leaking Faucet

Leaning Porch?- no photo editing performed here.

Leaning Porch

Leaves in Attic -?this huge piles of leaves in the attic was a mystery.

Leaves in attic

Not-so-frost-free faucet -?Frost free faucets?have a long stem that allows the water to be turned off?inside?the home, preventing them from freezing. ?It doesn't work so well when they're installed like this.

Not-so-frost-free faucet

Missing Roof Vent -?Nice solution.

This deck puts the?can't?in Cantilever -?The word of the day is 'fulcrum'. ?Now, everyone over to the right for a demonstration.?

Wicked Cantilever

Medusa's House -?we think we know where she lives.

Medusa plumbing

Obstructed Vacuum Breaker -?Over/under on how long it will be before that?vacuum breaker?is removed after the Bloomington inspector leaves: 9.5 seconds.

Scorched 'Safer Cooking' Manual -?Alanis Morissette would love this photo. ??Dontcha think?

Scorched Safer Cooking Manual

Strategic Bath Fan Placement -?this gives new meaning to the term 'point source ventilation'.

Strategic Bath Fan Placement

Worst. ?Roof. ?Ever.

Worst roof ever

Exploding Range -?what happens when you take a range designed for natural gas and install it in a home with LP gas? ?You create an explosion hazard. ??DO NOT test the oven if you ever come across this defect - a huge fireball will shoot out when you open the door, which will singe your hair and give you half a heart attack. ?Don't ask us how we know.

Yellow Flames at Oven

My crawl space has a flat tire -?we couldn't believe our eyes when we found this trailer frame partially buried in concrete in a crawl space, supporting the addition at the front of a house in Hopkins.

Crawl space with trailer

Men make things fit?-?We've seen plenty of doors notched out to get around toilets, but this might be the worst one yet.

That last photo was a 'bonus' photo sent in by Rick Norling, past owner of Structure Tech. ? If you enjoy these kinds of photos, remember to like our?Facebook page. ?Thanks!

Pa. railroad calendar delivered 63 years late

SCRANTON, Pa. (AP) ? A northeastern Pennsylvania newspaper has just received a calendar to help ring in the new year ? except the year is 1950.

Scranton's The Times-Tribune reports (http://bit.ly/S23ykD ) a mail carrier delivered it 63 years late without explanation on Friday.

The large tube contained a 1950 Pennsylvania Railroad calendar addressed to James Flanagan, former general manager of The Scranton Times.

The calendar includes a holiday greeting from a railroad executive dated December 1949. Flanagan died that month.

A U.S. Postal Service spokesman says lost mail is sometimes found when a machine is dismantled or office space is renovated.

Times-Tribune publisher Bobby Lynett says he'll see if the Steamtown National Historic Site railroad museum is interested in the calendar. If not, he'll display it in the newspaper's offices.

Uses Of Cell Phone Tracking Software | Liberty

Technology has made communication and daily life easier. Cellular phones have grown to be so common that it simply doesn?t make sense to have none. With cell phones, it?s now possible to communicate from virtually anywhere in the world. With this development, several issues were also produced; the problem of phone theft has become a major problem. One way of dealing with the issue is using a cellular phone tracker.

Phone tracking makes it possible for people who lose their own phones because of stealing to recover them. Due to this kind of tracking it becomes easy to determine the specific location of the cellular phone. As said before, the phone tracking software could be needed as a result of robbery; some other purposes involve misplacement of a phone and also when law enforcement officials want to nab a lawbreaker.

To track down the whereabouts of the phone, it doesn?t need to be in a call. Nonetheless it is only achievable if the mobile phone is switched on. The mobile phone may be found through a process referred to as triangulation. This involves figuring out the location by using two other set up towers. These 2 points will usually send out phone signals.

There are many other ways to spy on the mobile phone. However, don?t try to track any phone unless you?ve visited this website: Cell Phone Tracking

Best and worst movie posters of 2012

By Gael Fashingbauer Cooper, NBC News

A great movie poster should sell the movie and make you inscribe the film's opening date in your mind. Admittedly, some of these posters, even the good ones, fail at that. Some are stunning but don't even display the film's title, and may not have brought in one extra ticket sale. That's the studio marketing department's problem, not ours. We're voting just on style here, not substance.

Here are our pics for the four best and four worst movie posters of 2012.

BEST
'Zero Dark Thirty'
The title is there, but it's smeared over with black, as if the CIA itself came in and erased the name of the film. Fitting and creepy for the controversial movie about the hunt for Osama bin Laden.?

Sony Pictures

'Wreck-It Ralph'
The animated film holds charms not just for children, but for their parents and caregivers, who still hold fond memories of hours spent in 1980s and 1990s arcades. So the retro, 8-bit style of this poster fits right in.

Walt Disney Pictures

'V/H/S'
In this cult horror flick, a group of thieves end up watching a number of horrible events on videotapes while looking for the one particular tape they're supposed to steal. The tapes in this poster line up to make a most menacing skull.

Magnet Releasing

'Argo'

The faux-shredding on this poster not only looks cool, but it fits in with the movie's plot, as American employees in Iran desperately try to shred important documents and later, Iranian children are ordered to try and piece them back together to try and identify the Americans in hiding.

Warner Bros. Pictures

WORST
'Ted'
Ha! Get it, the bear is at the urinal along with the human and ... ugh, whatever.

Universal Pictures

'What to Expect When You're Expecting'
Making a movie out of a pregnancy advice book was a horrible idea. The studio just liked the clicky title. This poster does nothing to convince anyone except pregnancy fetishists to see the film.?

Lionsgate

'Alex Cross'
Critics weren't fans of "Alex Cross," though some liked Tyler Perry's performance. The poster shrinks Perry, who's shot in kind of a Batman style, and puts his figure inside villain Matthew Fox. Do you want to see the film based on this???Can you even tell who the hero is??

Summit Entertainment

'John Carter'
And at last we come to "John Carter," possibly the year's most-trumpeted flop. It cost nearly a quarter of a billion dollars and confused viewers and critics alike. This poster did not help.

Walt Disney / Pixar
