Becoming a Common Practice in the State of New York for Feng Shui Consultants to Attend Village and Town Board Meetings

by Feng Shui Long Island

Recently Laura Cerrano of Feng Shui Long Island, Inc. attended a Village Board meeting for her two clients. Long Island, Queens, Brooklyn, the State of New York Villages and Towns, this will become a more common sight and presentation as time progresses. The demographics of the East Coast are changing. Majority of of residents are now migrating from the Eastern parts of the world to America. The populations and cultures with the highest influence are individuals and families from China and India.

With the migration comes the beliefs, teaching and inspiration of these cultures, which many follow the principles of Feng Shui and/or Vastu (India's version of Feng Shui). It would be wise for New York State, the villages and towns to become familiar with at least the basic teachings of this lifestyle and recognize the specific reasoning for why exact changes are requested for the land and/or interior for those living at their given location.

In the state of California, Feng Shui consultants are always collaborating with architects, landscape designers, Realtor's and other interior designers because the State has recognized the imprtance and positive impact Feng Shui has on majority of the residents living there. They have also seen and experienced the increase of ecomnical growth Feng Shui has had for home owners and the rest of the towns, villages, neighborhoods and for the overall State. California has gained a great understanding of how Feng Shui is utilized to achieve a Balanced, Peaceful and Prosperous life through simple but effective changes in the Surroundings and I hope New York State, being very progressive will do the same.

365 Things to Do in Worcester County- Celebrate New Year EVERYWHERE.  Well I want to wish everyone a happy new year.  Today is the first day of 2011.  I am not in my beloved Worcester County.  I am in Albany with my family.  But New Year can be celebrated all over the world, and is.

I am staying at Crowne Plaza Hotel in the heart of the Business District in Albany.  The hotel is well appointed with features like indoor pool, excersise room and hot tub.  My reason for visiting is to be with the family.  The family's reason is because my husband has a Scrabble Tournament in the Hotel for 5 days.  Yes, 5 days of scrabble. 

Last night, New Year's eve, he finished by 6:00 pm and we were able to go out together for dinner to Olive Garden and then watched a movie, Centurion ( I thought it was watchable).  Twenty minutes before the crucial moment, we turned on Dick Clark's Rock n Eve and watched the ball drop.  We toasted the new year with Cherry flavored "Champagne", the non alcoholic version of the popular libation.

The cool thing about the New Year's Celebration at Crowne Plaza is the Pow Wow held downstairs.  I took a brief video of the vendors set up before it began.  I am still trying to convince my youngest to go and see the activities that will be running the week end.

This is world wide one of everyone's 365 Things to Do in Worcester County- Celebrate New Year EVERYWHERE.

Last time when I visited my family in Albany, NY, it was nice and warm. It was a perfect time for Aqua Duck tour. This time around it was perfect, too. Washington Park has a beautiful Holiday Light Show every year.

Only a few of the shots could make it to this blog post from my awesome 3 pixel phone.

The drive through Washington Park took more than 15 minutes ....

While driving slowly, we had a chance to stop for a few seconds.

There were many of those "ooh aah" and look at this moments :)

If you are from the area, there are a few days left. More information and virtual ride on Capital Holiday Lights web site.

Happy New Year!

Understanding and Recognizing Foundation Problems

When Buying and Owning a Home in Albany NY

Buying a home is a major investment in one's life. It is important to have a home inspection done to determine if any problems exist. One of the major areas to check is the foundation. Recognizing foundation problems early can prevent costly repairs later on.

Common Foundation Problems

Cold Climate Foundation Problems - This occurs when the concrete is poured in freezing weather. This allows for issues such as a dusty and sandy grit that comes off the top of the concrete. This could lead to the concrete loosing strength. Before tackling the concrete with a jack hammer have the concrete tested for strength.

Sinking Concrete - This can be a foundation problem in older homes. However it can occur in new homes as well. Fixing sinking concrete is a major task no matter the technique involved. While sometimes it can be noticeable with slanting floors other times signs can be subtle. If you notice some of your homes doors or windows are misaligned it would be in your best interest to have the home inspected.

Foundation Cracks- This also typically occurs in older homes. Many times cracks do not indicate a major problem. Fixing them can be simply cosmetic. This scenario should not be ignored, especially in newer homes. Any cracks in the foundation should be taken seriously and inspected by a professional as soon as possible.
