Day 4 – Taiwan Surfing at Dulan 都蘭

冲浪 Surfing at Dulan 都蘭 (Donghe town 東河, Taitung) was super cool! The waves crafted plenty of memories and FUN for us.

The highlight for our latest Taiwan trip was the amazing 250km biking trip from 花蓮 Hualien to 台東 Taitung.

But if you ask the kids, their favourite activity was Surfing at 都蘭 (Dulan)!

Repeat after me, Du 1 Lan2. It is not the Hokkien expletive :p

YouTube Video:Cool Surfing at Dulan Donghe 🙂

You can checkout WaGaLiGong’s expert videos too.

The kids did not even know that Surf was up, as it was meant as a surprise. Secondly, wind and wave conditions are never predictable. Infact, our surf was only confirmed on the morning itself.

Surfs and strong waves all along the East Coast (Highway 11). The first target when we reach Dulan was to 吃冰 (literally Eat Ice).

台澢號  Taitung Tea House is the only shop to offer the cool Surfing dessert. Hey, their fish & chips rocks too 🙂

Dulan famous dessert

Friendly cafe, offering a resting stop for travellers. At this point, we had already cycled 200km from Hualien! (4D3N itinerary here)

Checkin to our Hostel, WaGaLiGong.
Weird name, maybe direct translation from dialect 我跟你讲 ?

WaGaLiGong is managed by Mark (our surf coach too) and partner. He used to teach in South Africa but somehow found Surf and Love in Taiwan 🙂

Dulan surf house

WaGaLiGong provides both shelter and surf classes. Travellers mingle to share their life journey.

Quaint and unique architecture. The interior looks totally different from the quiet streets. I would say Hippy too.

You can learn SUP (Standup paddling), and many more water sports too.

If you have an opportunity, ask the locals about the story behind bus-on-the-roof.

Dulan is actually a little known town. The main highlight in this town could be ex Hualien Sugar Factory. It is now filled with music and arts, as in many 文創(Cultural) establishments.

Maybe you can explore 都蘭鼻 (more cliffs and shore).

Dinner was next door eatery. Simple fare, but delicious 🙂
Be prepared to wait as the chefs really put in a lot of passion in their food.

Comfortable rest before we embark on the next adventure.

Day 5 6am, we were ready for our surf class.

But the waves and wind was a bit strong for newbies Surfing at Dulan.

In the end, we proceeded as we did not want to miss the opportunity of another Fun adventure.

Class proper and safety instructions first.

Mark shared why surfers encounter more dangers as they always search for new spots and breaks. We need to understand the sea condition and currents (especially rip tides) before we surf.

*If you encounter a rip tide, do not try to swim against the current towards shore. Instead, swim left or right (and get out of the rip)

** Try to be calm during any emergency. Panic will make things worse.
If in doubt, just float and tread water, catch your breath and energy and THINK.  (would be tough to remember when we are struggling in the water)

Hey, we learn about geography and wind too.

Example, wind will generate waves. Reef,sandbank, river mouth(eg donghe) will create a bump for the surf.

The wind should be far from shore, just push the waves towards surfers. If the wind is near shore, then the waves would be unpredictable.

Look at the endless Pacific Ocean waves. Intimidating and Exhausting!

Very often, we move forward two steps only to fall back one step.

The board is hard to wield and the wind kept blowing our board around. But Kids never GAVE UP!

My arms and core was weakened after 45minutes.
Found an excuse to be the camera man haha.

Kids nailed their “training” session, despite the less than optimal wave conditions (too windy and choppy)

Three steps to remember: Our coach will shout these commands 1,2,3 to us.
1-Prone (lift your chest up)
2-Squat (one leg lift infront between hands)
3-Stand (and hopefully balance)

Surfing at Dulan

Verdict: Surfing the waves is more Fun than Surfing internet!

Kids pickup a new skill. They exhibited their fearless and adventurous attitude. We were all tired but they kept running back into the waves!

We got bruises, cuts, even our nipples and chest got abrasion rash from the board too! Yet the kids proclaimed their Love for SURFING!

I was just PROUD that the kids took up a challenge and owned the Moment.

Our coach Mark (L) and Steve(R).

After a tiring morning, we enjoyed some chill breakfast moment at 逗留豆遊.
Google Map has give them a Good review.

Niche cafe with two friendly bosses. But they emphasised that the real boss is their 4-legged mascot 🙂

By the way, we are publishing Surfing at Dulan post first, because a huge Surf event is coming up!

台湾台东国际冲浪赛 (Taiwan Open Surfing) surfs from 23Nov to 07Dec website) and many international folks will be barreling at Donghe.

WaGaLiGong surf class starts from NTD 1400 (2 pax) to NTD 1200 (4 pax, about $50Sgd). I would say the money was well spent as it bought us unforgettable memories in Dulan!

Experience is priceless 🙂

We would like to shout Thank You to team WaGaLiGong for the surfing adventure! Mark is recommending that we should extend our Surf class to a week next time :p

4D3N Taiwan East Coast cycling itinerary

We just came back from our Taiwan East Coast cycling adventure in mid October 2019. We cycled from 花蓮 Hualien to 台東 Taitung, also known affectionately as 花東.

Cycling gave us an opportunity to admire Taiwan up close.
Verdict: 台湾真漂亮!

We will be sharing the links to other blog posts at the end of page (eg  Train and bikes booking).

This was our first multi-day cycling trip, catch our 花東 IG story too.

Before Taiwan, our most adventurous ride was NZ Old Coach Road (3hour), Bangkok city tour (slow 4 hour)  and 台中 Taichung (2hour) . There are more biking adventures at this link.

Sharing some statistics below.

-6D5N trip, but 4D3N actual cycling
-We cycled 250km from Hualien to Taitung (detours inclusive). If strictly no detour, 180km possible.

Kids are impressive!
-Day 1- 80km Hualien to Ruisui
-Day 2- 55 km Ruisui to Yuli to Antong
-Day 3- 70km Antong to Dulan
-Day 4- 40km Dulan to Taitung

-Every night a new 民宿 minsu, we quickly learn how to efficiently unload/pack our luggage.

All these dreams were spark by Hualien Taitung map below. Encouraging both Taiwanese and tourists to cycle more, see more.

Below map (Credit Hualien Adventures) gave a good overview and has plenty of riding suggestions, pit stops. It was a Great tool for me to plan either highway 9 or 11 🙂

You can cover Taiwan East Coast cycling in 3D2N, or take your own sweet time to enjoy the detours. We took 4D3N to complete our journey but 5D4N best 🙂

Highway 9 runs along the train line. There is a parallel route 193 ( also known as 花東縱谷)  as you will cycle in the valleys, flank by green or yellow paddy fields! Highway 11 is winding coastal road, with the roaring Pacific Ocean next to you all the way South!

Do visit their Hualien Adventures bike links for research and tips.

We also customised our own fun Hualien to Taitung Google Map (click on link).

Those who are seeking more thrill can try KOM, cycle up 3000m+ 合歡山 HeHuan Shan! The round island 900km 10Days ride is pretty popular too (start at 松山Songshan).

You can download Taiwan Tourism’s bike manual and tips (pdf) here.
Some folks will even WALK around Taiwan 徙步漫遊台灣 Gosh!

0KM Hualien city

Hualien city is a good base to explore North (hint Tarako Gorge). We will visit this famous gorge next time 🙂

You will need minimum one day to appreciate nature’s masterpiece. If you prefer hiking and river-tracing, cater for 1/2 day more. Besides, there are  plenty of nice street food!

Best food Hualien

Our biking start point would be Giant Hualien. Google will share multiple train routes from Taipei to Hualien.

But friends told us that Hualien train tickets always sold out! Do book Online 2 weeks in advance!

*Do read our train-booking tips here.

捷安特花蓮站 Giant Hualien

If you are worried about renting a bike for multi-day cycling, start with Giant. Their professional rental service will allow you to just enjoy the ride and worry less about logistics.

You can also ask about joining a group, whereby a service/safety van will tag along.

*Read our Giant Bike booking and tips here.

Giant Hualien
Giant Hualien bicycle rental

Bike rental link is on their Facebook Message (Hualien <-> Taitung). Just reserve your bikes and pick up on actual day. the shop is just 5min walk from Hualien station.

3-days rental for Road-bike (racers) and MTB (mountain Bike) are NTD 1500 and NTD 1200 respectively.

Warmup ride with our new bikes. Hualien’s famous 七星潭 Qi Xin beach, and we could hear multiple F16s launching from Hualien airport.

There are only pebbles at this beach, no sands here!

Hualien Qi Xin Tan
Hualien Qi Xin Tan

四八高地 (Four-Eight Highland) offers a panoramic view of the coast and hugging mountain lines! We can find many such spots along highway 11.

We only cycle 20km for warmup, and visited 花蓮東大門國際觀光夜市 Dongdamen Night Market for our dinner.

Brought the kids here to enjoy some local snacks before we start our tour the next day.

If you know your average speed, you can then estimate your distance and preferred rest locations. Our average speed was a comfortable 20 to 30km on flat road.

Panniers packing

Packing for Taiwan East Coast cycling
Packing for Taiwan East Coast cycling

-Only bring the essentials
-Ensure easy access for critical stuff, eg first aid, batteries or powerbanks -Balance left and right bags
-Pack essentials on top, for easy access
-Might not need to pack extra drinks and food as convenience stalls everywhere
Over the next few nights, we got very efficient with packing and unloading.

Each touring bike, be it racers or MTB, will have two side bags (panniers). Racers bags are much bigger and waterproof, I do not understand why MTB bikes are 10l only, and not waterproof?

Photo below. Three fully loaded bikes, fortunately we got extra haversacks to load our stuff. The bikes (and maybe the riders) look very serious haha 🙂

Family Cycling Taiwan

We plan our rest points along scenic spots, ideally with shade, drinks and food.

Day 1 21km 鯉魚潭 Liyu Lake

This is the biggest lake on East side of Taiwan.

Hualien Liyu Lake
Hualien Liyu Lake

For longer distance, you might need to pack own meals and for the adventurous, own camping tents! Our journey was slow and easy, and we stop whenever we see queues or we are hungry.

In any adventure, the journey is more important than the end points. Do look out for interesting murals on the walls (especially for schools).

43km Spotted this delicious (super discreet) bento stall in 鳳林 (Fenglin town).

You will actually see a lot of beef noodle stalls in this town.
any bento associate themselves with 池上 Chisang (Taitung).
Some claim the rice in 池上is the best in Taiwan!

Anyway, 悟饕池上飯包. Yummy! (GPS 23.749060, 121.449821)
Regulars keep popping by for the bentos.

Convenience stalls

Taiwan has PLENTY of convenience stores.

Aircon, water, snacks and toilet 🙂
Thank you Family Mart and 7-11 stores.

Taiwan Family Mart
Taiwan Family Mart

Highway 9 definitely has more 7-11 and Family Marts than Highway 11.
Just park our bikes outside and choose the window seats.

(another advantage of highway 9 is tired cyclists can just hop onto a bike-friendly train cabin and skip one or two towns.)

Simple meals. We only had this twice during our trip, too much MSG.

Pocari to recharge! Aircon to enjoy some Pokemon gym.

Their favourite snacks at 7-11. They can have two servings per day!

Taiwan 7-11
Taiwan 7-11

Indulgence. We can justify the calories as we really cycle hard (at Yuli’s 85°C Bakery Cafe) . This is Taiwan’s Starbucks, with 1000 outlets globally.

The only stall which has wider franchise coverage, 檳榔 Bing1 Lang2 :p

62km 大農大富平地森林 Danongdafu Forest Park

Popular forest reserve with Taiwanese. Many Instagramable corners.
Must Visit, we spent almost 45mins here.

Our plan was to cycle South via Highway 9, cross the mountain at Route 30, then proceed South via Highway 11.

We ended Day 1 with 81KM. This was a stretch but glad kids could kept up.

Dinner at 瑞穗 Ruisui. This is their famous milk hotpot, 綠精靈

Ruisui Milk Pot

(Day 2) 86km Police Station 派出所

If you run into trouble, or need assistance with shelter.
Do drop by Police station or Post Office.

Police station in Taiwan (at least those in Hualien and Taitung) has water refill, and even clean toilets. 谢谢 Thank you !

Taiwan Police Station cyclists

Onward with our journey, sharing some of our favourite bike corners. We will share more later.

91km 玉里天堂路

Cycling along route 193, and this Heavenly patch of openness was too inviting!

Photo below. 感恩, felt so touch by Taiwanese hospitality.

This was somewhere along route 193. One of our targeted cake shops was permanently closed, but a neighbor Auntie came out to serve us persimmon (?)

So sweet and crunchy!

Route 193 actually runs parallel to Highway 9. But this is a trunk road, with fewer cars. Many folks recommend the Southward track between 瑞穗 Ruisui and 玉里 Yuli, also known as 花東縱谷.

I could never get enough of the vast green fields!

Hualien Highway 193

Carry on for 25km South and you will reach Taiwan’s most beautiful bikeway.

108km 玉富自行車道 (Yufu bikeway)

This is a 10 km bike track, built over an old railway track. Two old stations can still be found. No motorbikes no cars, enjoy the breeze.

Maybe 玉富 is extracted from 玉里 & 富里? Just like 花東 is from 花蓮 & 台東?
Anyway, NICE scenic landscapes! Greens and mountain ranges every corner.

The bridge is also where Eurasian collides with Philippine plates.

Other Yuli sights..

傳統美食玉里麵 (Yuli Mian)

Background is iconic red bridge, 客城鐵橋 Kecheng Iron Bridge. If your timing is right, you can see trains zoom by 🙂

126KM Antong Hot Spring Hotel

Nothing like Hot spring soak  (and Onsen) to remove tired knots. The facilities are good but do take note of strong sulphur smell.

Everyone slept well that night, maybe too fatigue
(We did leave a complain about bed cleanliness)

Antong Hot Spring
Antong Hot Spring

(Day 3) Toughest 5km #SengkangBabies花東

Although only 5km from Antong hotel to tunnel (GPS 23.268348, 121.360666 ), this steep route force me and Yee (no 3) to walk. Only Boon Wee (no1) could cycle all the way 🙂

Google Map showing brutal elevation. This only applies to casual cyclists like us (tourists). As road can be narrow at some sections, walk if you feel unsafe. There is no shame 🙂

Those hardcore cyclists attempting KOM (登山王 King of Mountain) will treat Antong as warmup.

We were taking route 30 to cross from Highway 9 to Highway 11.
And this is one of the shortest cross-mountain route.

For comparison sake, notice the “Flat” terrain around Ruisui and Yuli, perfect for cycling. There will always be small slopes to climb, plenty after  Cheng Gong (Highway 11).

At the highest point, there is a tunnel, intersecting Hualing and Taitung.

The tunnel ride was refreshing, remember to stop for photo at the exit (Taitung side). You can see the cloud, Pacific Ocean over the horizon.

Ocean views from here onwards all the way to 台東 Taitung (Highway 11).

Taitung Highway 11
Taitung Highway 11

LOVE the Blue views and waves! (石雨傘風景區)

155KM 三仙台跨海步橋 San Xian Tai Arch Bridge

Another famous icon. You can actually spend 3 or 4 hours hiking over the bridge to explore the small island.

We enjoy some delicious treats along the route.
成功豆花, Taiwan Beer (only at night), 東河包子.
(GPS are in our Google Sheet itinerary)

So many cyclists and bikers along the coastal road.

185KM 吃冰 at Dulan 台澢號 Taitung Tea House

都蘭 Du1 Lan2 is a small town in 東河 Donghe.
Do not pronounce as Hokkien expletive :p

We stayed at 哇軋力共 WaGaLiGong for the 3rd night.

Cool surf shop and hostel. This is where we signed up for a rocking 冲浪 Wave Surfing course too! (our fun surfing review here and YouTube link)

(Day 4,5) Kids declared surfing as their best experience in Taiwan!

逗留豆遊 , explored more coffee beans and cakes before we left for Taitung Town.

We are left with the last 30km of cycling, time to GO SLOW and enjoy the ride 🙂

More cycling friends along the way. They are curious about this bunch of Singaporeans touring East Coast #單車環島

Do checkout a popular Taiwanese movie “Island Etude, 單車骑行环岛“. This movie sort of kickstart a cycling frenzy in Taiwan Formosa 🙂

9KM Countdown to Taitung

Did you know Taitung is one of the happiest cities in Taiwan? Some say the East Coast resembles Hawaii too.

We know the waves and wind never stopped, we can always spot three different shades of blue in the ocean.

250KM end point 捷安特台東站 Giant

You can actually cycle north from Taitung to Hualien too, but will encounter strong headwinds.

Returning our trusty bikes. Feeling Happy that we complete our Journey and also Sad that our epic adventure has come to an end 🙂

Was really grateful for all the HELP and TIPS we got along the way. Thanks Douglas (he just toured Incheon to Busan ride) and Uncle Soon.

I had a fall near the end of our journey. A blessing in disguise, as we were at the end point, and there was no fracture. This was the only incident we had over our cycling journey. We did not encounter any rain (so lucky!)

I will gladly attempt another Taiwan cycling trip with the kids!

At Sengkang Hospital
At Sengkang Hospital

After returning our bikes, we collected our luggage and pick up the train tickets from Taitung to Kaohsiung.

Non-hassle, very easy for tourists.

Do take note Taitung Train station is 6km from Taitung center.
Taxis are readily available, metered rate should be between NTD200 to NTD 300.

More good FOOD 台東 Taitung !

I am one PROUD Dad!

Our Taiwan East Coast cycling 花東 took us out of our comfort zone.
We literally had to stretch ourselves, and look out for each other.
I hope the experience will make our family bond stronger.

The kids might not know it, but 250KM is a BIG DEAL.
Hope our Taiwan Cycling experience will leave a big imprint for their future explorations! Go out and explore the WORLD.

This blog post is only a summary of our compressed 4D3N Taiwan East Coast cycling. We will be sharing more photos and stories of our trip.

*Use our Google Sheet Itinerary and GPS for your planning reference (Link).

Meanwhile, if you have any question, do email me at

We hope our experience will encourage more folks to cycle in Taiwan!

*(C) Tips for Taiwan East Coast cycling:

1)No1 tip- Send your luggage from Hualien to Taitung. We only pack minimum for our 4D3N road trip, pack everything else for Taitung pickup

2) Safety

2a) Bike handling
Relatively safe for families to explore Taiwan on wheels. Just ensure kids are confident on bikes (gears, brake, balance). Kids need to be comfortable with speeds maybe up to 40kmh, especially when going downhill.

Reflexes are harder to train(eg to be more steady). No 3 will instinctively swerve-hard inwards when cars horn. This might cause him to lose balance.

2b) General Safety
It would be good if one knows how to fix bicycle chains, or patch a tyre (or change a tube). Some roads can stretch for a few kilometres without bicycle shops or even convenience stores (especially Highway 11). In worse case, broken bike can cab to the next meeting point.

Kids like to cycle near the kerbs, which is not advisable. This is the area where most pebbles and broken glass gather, risking punctures. Besides, you will have less “allowance” to evade or maneuver during an emergency.

I notice the barriers along some bridges are maybe only 1m in height. A fall would be drastic!

No3 Boon Yee was in the center most of the time, as his bike was the smallest and least visible.

*Kids should know which emergency number to dial, in case the adult is hurt. Bring your first aid kit along and know your basic first aid skills.

3) The best time to cycle might be in October and November, with temperatures between 25 to 28 degrees in the day (summer can reach 30+ degrees).  Minimum Typhoon, and paddy harvesting means fields are turning Gold.

4) Appreciate warm Taiwanese hospitality and cycling culture. Bicycle lanes are wide and available on 90% of our route. Cars generally give a wide berth. Singapore has a lot to learn!

We felt safe on the road and passer-bys will SHOUT 加油! We wave to riders on the other side 🙂

5)Use Google Map “Driving” icon to navigate instead of “Walking”.
Walking might bring you to shortcuts, which can be hard to navigate or sometimes non-passable for wheels (especially in the mountains)

I am just curious why Taiwan Google Map does not have Cycling options (unlike New Zealand Mountain-to-Ocean track). Secondly, “Walking” mode cannot go through Tunnel (which is weird).

I need “walking” mode to estimate the elevations and plan my rest points.

6) Ensure your accommodation (minsu) allow you to keep your bikes indoors. It is relatively safe in Taiwan, but we just need to be vigilant and prevent theft

7) Scooters and Cyclists cannot turn left at main junctions. We have to go into the small box, and wait for green light. (YouTube explanation)

8)We could not cover all the scenic spots during this trip. We will cover them in our next trip:
太魯閣 Taroko Gorge (need one full day to enjoy)
池上伯朗大道 (Mr Brown, 金城武 and EVA ad wah!)
知本溫泉 (hot spring)

*9)Do pop by the following links and resources too:
-Taiwan Tourism cycling manual eBook (my resource kit)
WhyWendyWrites (hot air balloon, 綠島 Green and 蘭嶼 Orchid islands)
-Many more blogs (1 , 2 , 3 , 4 for IG, *5 , 6 round island!, 7)
I suspect the best blogs are those in Mandarin (but I struggle to read)

TwoWheelCruise 2 parts (heavy rain and nice commentary)
-Another nice video (novice too)
-Additional tips and stories (Cycle Taiwan)
-If in season, fruits picking might be fun too (link)

-Weather forecast by township
-Latest Taiwan news (Facebook)
Parks and Forest Reserve list (some are chargeable)
-Taiwan train online booking (blog). App will also notify if there are delays.

One of the best videos (credit @MyTaiwanTour), so cinematic 🙂

10) Essentials. Get the reliable wifi router from Klook. Ensure you have enough powerbanks, batteries and MicroSDs for your journey. I brought a notebook along to backup our daily photos and videos. WATERPROOF everything as rain is frequent.

11)Read up on earthquake and Typhoon precautions. Hualien and Taitung has regular earthquakes!

12) If you are attempting the same route, these two links will answer 30% of your questions, be confident. We are not super fit, nor do we cycle regularly. But if you can cover 30 40km every 3 or 4 hours, you should be ok.

Do cover more grounds (maybe 60/40%) before noon as weather will be hotter in the afternoon.

12a)Giant Hualien booking –

13)If you are not cycling, you can still self-drive and enjoy the sightings. Scooter rental can be under NTD1000 per day! E-bike rentals are available at many places but will need to recharge every 50km.

Do it yourself: homemade serum – remedy for damaged hair.

Serum is a hair care product designed for special tasks. Usually, it is used only temporarily (for example, for a month). This is because we only need to take care of recurring problems. In order to fight against damaged hair, we should take advantage of the power of concentrated nutrients and active substances. Fortunately, even the very intense nutrition and regeneration of your hair can be done at home. You just need to prepare a proper serum depending on your hair needs.

  • 40 ml of freshly brewed nettle,
  • 1 tablespoon of silk proteins,
  • 10 drops of almond oil.

How does it work?

Blend all the ingredients with the base, which in this case is the infusion of nettle (not necessarily fresh herbs, herbal tea of dry leaves can be used as well). Next, apply the prepared serum on your hair ends. It would be very handy if you could pour the content into a glass bottle with a dispenser. Then, to protect your ends from damage rub (or spray) the mixture. Thanks to this, you hair will be smooth and nourished.

  • 1 cup of distilled water,
  • 2 tablespoons of dried nettle,
  • 2 tablespoons of horsetail,
  • 2 tablespoons of natural aloe gel,
  • 10 drops of sage oil.
  • 10 drops of rosemary oil,
  • 10 drops of lavender oil.

How does it work?

To a bowl with boiled water add the dried leaves of both herbs and allow it to infuse for about 10 minutes. After this period of time, strain the infusion, leave it t cool for a while and add the aloe gel and essential oils. Rub the serum with your fingertips or spray it (this is the best option, but there is the need of an empty spray bottle). This serum is quickly absorbed, leaving your hair moisturised, smoothed and strengthened.

(4 drops of each)

  • Rosemary oil,
  • Geranium oil,
  • Lavender oil,
  • Cypress oil,
  • Cinnamon oil,
  • Oil of juniper,
  • Frankincense Indian oil.

How does it work?

Blend all the oils together. Pour the new hair serum into small bottles of dark glass (preferably with a pipette to ensure the convenience of the application). Only one drop of such concentrated serum for hair growth massaged into the scalp every day is required to provide noticeable effects. You will see a significant density as well as strengthening and lengthening hair.

Short Sale Contracts Need This Term

March 8, 2009 by
Filed under Short Sale How To

drive-thru-lawyer-125x125You must have a provision in the sales contract that makes it contingent on the approval of the short payoff by the lender(s) and lien holders. In other words, the contract will not be performed unless everyone who needs to get paid from the sale will settle for the net proceeds. If you do not have that in the contract, the seller is signing an agreement that says the property will be sold for a specified price, period. So, if there is not enough money to pay off all the debts, the incorrectly written contract would say that the seller would need to bring enough money to closing to complete the sale.

Since you are working with a seller who has had a financial setback, allowing the seller to sign a contract without this contingency would be a disaster. I go to every short sale seminar I can because I am an educational junkie. I went to a short sale seminar the other day where the instructor told the Realtors that they could not write in a contingency like this, because creating this wording was the unautorized practice of law. The instructor went on to say that the Realtor could not even advise the seller to write it in, because if they got the words wrong there could be some liability.

It is important for Realtors to avoid the unauthorized practice of law. However, you have to protect the seller from signing a contract that is not contingent on the approval of the banks and other lien holders.

The simple solution is to include an addendum, like the North Carolina Short Sale Addendum the contract. An even better addendum is the California Short Sale Addendum. All the Realtor has to do is place words like “The Short Sale Addendum is part of this contract” in the body of the agreement at the place where you insert the references to the addenda that are made part of the contract. Then, fill in the blanks in the Short Sale Addendum. If you want to get formal, you can say “The Short Sale Addendum dated (insert date) executed by the Buyer and Seller concerning the subject property is incorporated herein by this reference as though it was fully set forth.” I like the short version.

Incorporating a document or addendum as part of a contract is something Realtors do all the time, and it is not the practice of law because you are just incorporating standard wording on a standard contract. It is the same as filling in the blanks in the basic contract form.

California has the best Short Sale Addendum, available from the California Association of Realtors. North Carolina just adopted one that does the job. One of the problems with the North Carolina addendum is it tells the buyer that the seller can leave the property on the market for “back up” offers. The part warning the buyer that the property will remain on the market is great. The part calling it a “back up” offer does not set the proper expectation. When a second offer comes in, it has to be presented to the bank. What happens when the bank sees that the second offer gives them more money than the first, particularly if the second buyer is well qualified? The second offer will not be a back up offer, because the bank will disapprove the first offer and accept the second. You have to give the North Carolina authors some slack because this is North Carolina’s first attempt at a short sale addendum. They have not needed one before this. California has gone down the short sale road before.

If you do not have an addendum that is approved for use in your area, check with your broker in charge to see if you can use the one from California. If not, contact your favorite closing attorney and get them to prepare and addendum for you.

One of the issues that comes up in short sales is when to deposit the earnest money. That depends on the terms of the addendum. There is a choice in the California addendum, so you check whichever box is applicable. My preference is to deposit the earnest money check when the short sale is approved by the lender. The reason I like this option is that it emphasizes to the buyer that the sale is not approved until the lender signs off on it. If you do not have a contractual provision to hold the earnest money uncashed, the normal rules apply. For example, in North Carolina the earnest money has to be deposited in the bank within three days of when the contract is signed by the buyer and the seller.

Be absolutely sure that the Short Sale Addendum is part of the contract, and explain why to everyone involved.

While doing so I studied the code from 2010 and found that it had a bug and also was somewhat convoluted. I decided to use a simpler variant of that, and wrote a page about the simpler variant instead of the original.

Things I’ve learned

Well, I set out to buy an outboard motor for the sailboat. Instead of buying a motor, I received an education.

The first thing I learned is that just because Google says a company sell outboards doesn’t mean they really do.

Another thing I learned is that there are a wide variety of small long shaft outboards available -if you are willing to wait 10 to 14 business days. Very few dealers keep much stock. If they have outboards, they tend to be the more popular short shaft ones.

Which brings me to something else that was added to my education. Motors that don’t sell get sent back to the factory. There they are tested and put back on the market. Certain dealers buy big lots of them. Then they go on sale for a marked down price, but without a warranty.

That’s how I came across a never used 2016 5 hp Evinrude with sail drive for $1100. Nice enough motor, but I’d be on my own if it had issues. Not sure the discount is worth the risk. However, it was about the only suitable motor anyone had in stock.

Decisions. Decisions.

In the short term we are going to have to find another place to camp instead of being on the water.

  1. Everything seems to be such a pain these days.

  2. Evinrudes are good motors. Easy to work on, parts readily available.

    Get a weed guard for the prop as it will help protect the blade, if you are boating in weedy waters.

    Just... use some sort of fuel stabilizer or some such stuff because ethanol fuels still suck in outboards that sit for long periods of time.

  3. Though it's not very scenic my backyard is available for your tent. More than welcome.
    Might be more dealers on this side too...

  4. Hope you find the perfect motor for your needs and that it is on sell, too.

Skylanders Swap Force – The Movie

Skylanders Swap Force - The MovieEnjoy all of the cutscenes and other important story parts put together into one video that we are calling Skylanders Swap Force – The Movie. Well, almost all of the scenes. Apparently Activision had a problem with the Mesmeralda scene so I had to leave that one out. Even though you can find many other videos of that level on YouTube, our video was blocked worldwide. So I’ve removed that scene and the song during the credits. I purposefully left the credits in the movie because all of the great people who were apart of making this game should be recognized.  If you like this video presentation visit our sister site at or our GameNutts YouTube channel to see more Cutscene Theater videos for other games.

My kids LOVE watching this movie. Let us know what you think!

Tempting Triangles

I've never been a big fan of HSts, but it seemed a good project for the ladies at a Church House Group to tackle.

Assorted abilities, but over the last few months we made this, and on a recent Sunday we gave it to a lovely lady in the village, who, like the quilting on this, holds everything together!

I have experienced a deep, but unexpected love of HSTs!!!!

I don't know that I'd want to machine a whole pile of them, but hand stitching while chatting with friends and drinking coffee is a whole other matter!

As the original HST project was totally finished they wanted to start a new one, and this last Sunday must have sewn 50 or so together!  This time I used odds and ends of charm packs - the charms that didn't make the final cut in whatever I used the rest of their family for - and added white.  I'll ask them what arrangement they like best:

Flying Geese

Or like this

Looking good eh?

  1. Fab!
    The finished quilt looks stunning x

  2. I like the verisitility of half square triangles, but like you, they get pretty boring sewing them up if you need a lot of them

  3. there is so much you can do with half square triangle, I do make mine using 2 squares back to back which I find better than cutting the individual triangles, have lots of tiny ones from scraps, must do something with them one day!

  4. I love the HST 'church ladies' quilt and think that my favourite of the 'odds and sods' HST arrangements is the zigzag!

  5. Well done all of you! The HSTs are looking good, whichever layout you use (although I really like your zigzags!).

  6. I like the flying geese. Delighted you have come to the 'dark' side :-)

  7. The finished one is stunning and the new ones look nice in all of the layouts. I'll look forward to seeing which the ladies choose :)

Thanks for your comment. I will always acknowledge a comment if I am able to contact you

Tag Archives: Kraft Foods

About the company: The Kraft Heinz Company is the third-largest food and beverage company in North America and the fifth-largest food and beverage company in the world, with eight $1 billion+ brands. In 2015, the Kraft Heinz Company had 13 different brands with $500 million or more each in annual sales. Kraft has served American families for over 100 years now. This has positioned them in a unique way where the products they offered fits into American lifestyle and the way they raise their families. Kraft Heinz are running a campaign for almost a year now supporting modern families. Family Greatly Kraft’s research showed that 80% of parents today feel pressured to be ‘perfect’ parents whereas 80% of the children would prefer having great parents over the perfect ones. “There’s no one perfect way to family, as long as you’re doing it with love and conviction, we support how you family.” says Anne Field, director of brand building for Kraft. Kraft believes that parents don’t have to be perfect in order to be great therefore they launched a campaign called #FamilyGreatly that emphasizes that there is no wrong or right way to raise a family as long as you do it with conviction and love. Rather than hiring professional artists or reality show families, Kraft decided to get the ‘real American families’ onboard. “When we first identified this insight, we knew it clearly spelled out what we believe as a brand. When we shared it with families, we felt such power in this universal truth. And as mom of two young daughters and a daughter myself, I couldn’t wait to share this message.” Anne Field, Director of Brand Building for Kraft Kraft, as a part of its communications campaign, invites families to engage with #FamilyGreatly on social media, sharing the realities, joys and challenges of family life on @KraftBrand Facebook, Twitter and Instagram channels. In order to set the ball rolling, Kraft got its employees to kick start the conversation on behalf of the brand. Audience and participants will hear from these Kraft parent employees about their own genuine and heartfelt experiences.

Should You Wear a Back Protector For Snowboarding?

The ‘should you wear a helmet?’ debate has been raging fiercely and relentlessly for a good few years now. But, is it just as important to wear a back protector?

Well, if you look at the stats then the most common injury to snowboarders is to the wrist and hand.This is for the obvious reason that when snowboarders fall, they fall forwards or backwards and with both feet attached to the snowboard, it is a natural reaction, especially with beginners, to extend the arms out as protection against the impact.

The next most common injury is to the head and neck, then the knees, followed by ankles and then back injuries. With back injuries so far down the pecking order it would be easy to dismiss paying vital beer money on a back protector, but although spinal injuries are rare they can be a lot more

In Snowboarding, as with all high impact sports, a lot of back injuries can be prevented by exercising regularly and stretching before hitting the slopes. But some back injuries, especially if you are hitting rails and kickers in the snow park, can only be prevented by body armour. When
trying out kickers for the first time the most common injury occurs when landing sideways with all the impact on your Coccyx and lower back.
Even without long lasting injury, this type of impact can be very painful and cause discomfort to the lower back for weeks if not months. A combination of protection shorts and a back protector would certainly help to prevent this and a must for those wanna-be and experienced park rats.

Recently, I have had the pleasure of working with professional athlete Jamie Barrow who is officially Britain’s fastest snowboarder. Jamie was part of the GB Boardercross team and was considered a young talent and one to look out for on the Olympic scene. But disaster struck when
Jamie had a devastating accident during a competition run and broke his back. Forever in pain,Jamie was forced to quit the GB team and now, still only 22, has forged a successful career in speed snowboarding, including snowboarding across a frozen lake with a jet powered backpack, and more recently, snowboarding at 125Kph while being towed behind an aircraft.

Jamie was wearing a back protector when he had his accident but if he wasn’t, the consequences would have been far much worse if not fatal.

As with any protective gear, do not skimp on cost and go for quality. Make sure the back protector is flexible and will protect the base of the neck as well as the Coccyx. Also make sure that you buy the right size and that it has shoulder straps as well as a waist band. Some back protectors are made from a hard plastic usually in the form of plates that overlap each other. Others are made from different forms of impact foam and are extremely lightweight, but the best types are usually a combination of both. Another great option is an impact top or vest that not only acts as protection to your upper body, but also as a mid layer of clothing.

Yes, a good back protector is expensive but maybe the question to ask is not can you afford to buy one, but can you afford not to buy one?

What do you think?

December 13, 2010 - The Quezon City (QC) government, a member of the so-called G7, renewed its commitment in consistently implementing Republic Act 9211, or the Tobacco Regulation Act of 2003, during a seminar dubbed as “Greater Teeth and Tools for the Enforcement and implementation of Tobacco Regulation Act Project” conducted by the University of the Philippines College of Law Development Foundation Inc.

G7 is an anti-smoking alliance of seven cities in the National Capital Region composed of Quezon City, Makati City, Manila, Marikina City, Mandaluyong City, Pasig City and Caloocan City which is spearheading a campaign for a smoke-free Philippines.
(7 metro cities to clamp down on smoking by Gigi Muñoz David, Manila Standard Today, 12/7/2010)

In an executive order Quezon City Mayor Herbert Bautista created a “Smoke-Free Task Force’’ that aims to reinforce and monitor full compliance with the law in public places and conveyances, buildings, both public and private, and other public places in order to protect the public from the harmful effects of tobacco substances.

Recently the public was informed that aside from first and secondhand smoke they should also be wary of thirdhand smoke which is the harmful chemicals left by the smokers on clothing, curtains, bed sheets and other things.

Data from the Tobacco Burden of Facts in the Philippines revealed that 35 percent of Filipinos aged 18 above smoke cigarettes and 55 percent of the youth aged 13-15 in the Philippines are exposed to second-hand smoke in their homes and 65 percent to secondhand smoke in public places. It revealed that smoking is killing over 35,000 Filipinos each year through lung cancer, trachea and bronchus.

Damn! Italy getting rid of Vespas???

Shoot! Check this out: Italy is trying to get Vespas off the road!!

This kinda sucks. I'm worried that this may start to happen in Schwarzenegger-land, too. All you hippies out there who are so into the enviroment might have it backfire in your face (if you ride a vintage scooter). What pisses me off so bad is that per pound, per capita, per whatever, these gazillions of trucks on the road give off ten to twenty times as much pollution as scooters. But yet, they are allowed to drive without resrictions while they may restrict or outlaw little ol' scooters???? Ridiculous. It's only because these trucks are so vital to the state's / nation's economy that they are not restricted as they should be, before you ever outlaw a little two stroker...

Iraq and the Costs of Conflict

Debates about the Iraq conflict have focused on political, military, moral and legal arguments to the neglect of economic aspects. But wars are costly and the Iraq conflict is no exception.

The relevance of economics

Conflict and the subsequent peacekeeping require scarce resources which could be used for alternatives such as education and health. But military costs are only one component of the total costs of conflict. Typically, there are sizeable hidden costs which cannot be ignored. Historically, conflict was the preserve of political scientists, but increasingly, defence economists are applying their economic tools to the analysis of conflict (Sandler and Hartley, 2003).

Tri Peaks Solitaire Card Game Rules

Tri-Peaks Solitaire Card Game is a combination of Golf Solitaire and Egyptian Pyramid solitaire. It’s another fast paced game like Golf but a little less mechanical with slightly more thought and vision required in order to release the most productive cards. Now, let’s check Tri Peaks solitaire rules.

Card Layout

The game is played with a single pack of 52 playing cards. The cards are dealt to form a tableau consisting of three overlapping peaks in the arrangement shown below. A single card is then dealt face up from the remaining stock to start a waste pile that is built on during the game.

Tri-Peaks Card Layout

The object of TriPeaks Solitaire is to transfer all the cards from the tableau to the waste pile, uncovering cards further up the peaks, making them available for play. You win the game when you’ve removed all the cards from the tableau to the waste pile, demolishing the three peaks.

Tri-Peaks Rules

All building is carried out on the single waste pile. Any completely uncovered card in the tableau may be moved to the waste pile if it follows either an ascending or descending sequence regardless of suit. So in the above example, either the 6, the 6 or the 8 may be built on the 7. Sequences may turn the corner with Kings building on Aces and Aces building on Kings. When no more cards can be transferred from the tableau to the waste pile, a card from the stock is dealt to the waste pile and building resumes. When the stock is exhausted, and no more building can occur, then the game is over. You’ll receive a bonus every time you completely demolish one of the three peaks and you’ll also receive a bonus for each card that remains in the tableau when you win the game, along with another bonus depending on how fast you completed the game. Don’t forget, you can double click or right click on a card to send it flying to the waste pile.

Beside classic Tri Peaks Solitaire, there is other version, that’s Tri Peaks Strict.

How to play Egypt Pyramid Solitaire Games well?

Nowadays, Solitaire Card Game is the most popular card game on the world. Pyramid Solitaire is so challenging card game that come from Acient Egypt. PlayPyramid Solitaire Games, you must help the Pharaoh build his illustrious pyramids by removing all the cards dealt at the start. Clear cards by selecting pairs of cards that add up to exactly 13.
There are some levels of Egypt Pyramid Solitaire Games you may select:
  • Pyramid Solitaire – Tradition
  • Pyramid Solitaire Easy
  • Pyramid Solitaire Relaxed
  • Pyramid Solitaire  Relaxed Easy
Solitaire Pyramid Egypt Card Games Online

1. Rule – How to play Pyramid Solitaire:
Aces count as 1, Jacks count as 11 and Queens count as 12. Kings count as 13 and can be removed at any time by simply clicking on them. All other cards are at their face value. So for example you can combine an Ace and Queen to remove the pair, or Jack and a 2 to remove that pair.
To aid you, you may place a single card in the Temp Card Store. This will increase your pairing options by allowing you to get to otherwise impossible to reach cards that are in the pyramid. To successfully pass a round it is absolutely necessary for you to use this card store strategically and to do some planning and thinking with it!
Additionally the undo button will undo any single move, obviously that’s great for fixing minor errors but there is a little trick for pro players! The trick is to draw 3 additional cards to see if they will change the order of the cards that you will remove from the cards dealt at the top in the pyramid. If not, no harm done, just undo the move and continue matching the pairs of 13. Of course it helps that you can use this little trick any time it is convenient!
Pyramid Solitaire Ancient Egypt rewards excellent play and strategy. You receive bonus points for completing a level quickly, removing all cards in both the pyramid and the deck, and failing that for any remaining cards in the deck that you have not uncovered. The game is quite kind, in that there is always a bonus if you complete a round although of course better play, always means better bonuses!
2. Tips to play Pyramid Solitaire well
Although not easy to win Pyramid Solitaire, but there are some tips you can use:
– Always remove Kings as soon as possible, they literally just get in the way.
– Try to plan your moves. Look at the board and see what cards are blocking other cards.
– You absolutely must use the temporary card store. Combine that with planning and you can win most deals. Often simply by moving one card from the pyramid down to the store you can instantly uncover another card that you can use immediately.
– This almost a bit of a cheat. You can use the undo card to look at the next 3 cards coming. This will allow you to plan your moves more effectively.
– At the bottom where the groups of three cards a dealt, if you have too many cards the game will hide them to save space. Those cards are always there, just hidden!
– Remember you don’t have to remove every card, just the pyramid at the top.
