Kids Fly FREE Sat. Aug. 16, 2008 at the Mesquite Municipal Airport Young Eagles and The Fly Boys Movie

Mon, 21 Jul 2008 11:45:53 -0500

Mesquite, NV Municipal Airport is planning another Young Eagles Event on Aug. 16, 2008. Starting 8 am. In addition, some of The Fly Boys Movie cast will be at the airport that same day. Check out more about this film at theflyboysmovie.com. This movie was filmed in Mesquite, NV

If you are between 8 and 17 years old, the EAA Young Eagles programs wants to offer you the chance of a lifetime. Turn your dreams into reality on a free Young Eagles flight and become one of over 1 Million Young Eagles!

Contact Mesquite Airport for more information 702-346-2841

What will the flight be like?

The biggest question on your mind might be about the actual flight. So what should you expect?

First of all, your pilot will explain what will happen during the flight. This might include talking about the airplane; reviewing an aeronautical chart (or map); identifying reference points during the flight; completing a careful "walk around" preflight inspection of the airplane and identifying the parts that control the airplane.

Once you are ready to go flying, your pilot will help you buckle your seat belt and describe the interior of the airplane, including the instrument panel. Pretty soon, it will be time to go flying!

Once in the air, you'll see the earth and sky in a new and exciting way. You'll experience the wonderful freedom of flight that many people only dream about. If you are like most Young Eagles, you'll remember this experience for the rest of your life.

Most Young Eagle flights last between 15 and 20 minutes. Once back on the ground, there will be additional time for you to ask questions about the flight. Ask away! Your pilot will be happy to tell you more about flying and their particular airplane. And don't forget, you'll also receive an official Young Eagles certificate, which is signed, by your personal pilot and our Chairman Harrison Ford.

We look forward to adding your name to the ever-growing list of EAA Young Eagles!

You might recognize Harrison Ford from his numerous movie roles, like Indiana Jones from the Temple of Doom or CIA Agent Jack Ryan in Clear and Present Danger or the president in Air Force One, but Harrison Ford is also an experienced pilot and Chairman of the EAA Young Eagles program.

Since Young Eagles began in 1992, there have been three Chairmen. All are active pilots and have flown Young Eagles. The first chairman (1992- 1994) was Academy-Award winning actor Cliff Robertson. Mr. Robertson was followed as Chairman by Gen. Chuck Yeager (1994 - 2003). Of course Gen. Yeager is known as a famous test and combat pilot and the first person to fly faster than the speed of sound. Now, Harrison Ford has taken over for Gen. Yeager.

"It's daunting to step into General Yeager's shoes, but aviation is about learning new skills and the satisfaction that comes with practicing them and doing better," Mr. Ford said upon accepting the position.

Mr. Ford earned his pilot's certificate in 1996 and joined EAA. Since then he has also earned a several additional ratings including seaplane, rotorcraft (helicopters) and an instrument rating. He also owns several aircraft including a deHavilland Beaver and Bell helicopter.

"Young Eagles gives kids a view of the world they've never seen before," Ford said. "Each Young Eagle flight is an opportunity to excite kids by sharing a passion for flight and to show them that they, too, can learn the skills to participate in aviation."

As Chairman, Mr. Ford promotes the EAA Young Eagles program when possible and plans to attend the EAA AirVenture Oshkosh Fly-In. Mr. Ford has flown more than 280 Young Eagles since becoming involved in the program in 2001. http://www.youngeagles.org/

"The Flyboys" Movie Review

"The Flyboys" Movie Review
by Michael Aaron Gallagher

Rating: 5 Stars (Out of 5 Stars)

"The Flyboys" is one of those action-adventure movies that somehow makes you feel like a kid again. But you don't have to be a 12 year-old boy to enjoy the original story, the intense action scenes, the witty dialogue, and the incredibly gripping cinematography.

The best part is Writer/Director Rocco DeVilliers miraculously did on a small $2 Million Dollar budget, what so many big Hollywood movie studios fail to do with much more. He made a family film that takes you back to your childhood. "The Flyboys" reminds you of what it means to be a true friend, to do what's right even when the odds are against you, and what it really means to be a hero.

"The Flyboys" captivates and entertains audiences with its blend of action, suspense, comedy, and drama, all rolled into one. The movie's main car chase and airplane stunts are some of the best on-screen action scenes filmed in recent years.

The Story
Actor Reiley McClendon delivers a convincing performance as Kyle, a young boy who moves to a new town and quickly finds himself in trouble with just about everyone. When he accidentally stumbles onto a mob conspiracy, he and his friend discover they are the only passengers aboard a twin-engine airplane and they must fly the plane themselves or face a perilous crash into the mountain side.

Smoke Alarms

Sun, 20 Jul 2008 15:12:01 -0500

One of the most important fire safety devices for the home is the smoke alarm. After becoming generally available in the early 1970's home smoke alarm sales grew rapidly and the price fell, so that by 1991, 88% of US homes had at least one, and alarms could be purchased for under $10.

Several studies have concluded that when working smoke alarms are present, the chance of dying from the fire is cut in half. The smoke alarms currently in place have saved thousands of lives, but several problems exist. First, the 12% of homes without alarms have more than half of the fires; second, it is estimated that a third of the smoke alarms in place are not working, often due to failure to replace a worn out battery; and third, many homes do not have as many smoke alarms as are needed to protect the occupants properly.

How Many Alarms are Needed?

The primary job of our smoke alarm is to protect you from fires while you are asleep. Thus, your alarms should be located between any sleeping persons and the rest of the house ' outside bedrooms or sleeping areas. But tests conducted in the 1970's clearly showed that this might not be enough.

In multi-story homes, fires on a floor level without a smoke alarm can grow to dangerous conditions before sufficient smoke can rise in a stairway to set off an alarm on the upper floor. Based on this observation, most codes require that additional smoke alarms be located on each floor level of the home.

A closed door provides protection from smoke on the other side, but will also prevent smoke from reaching a smoke alarm. This is particularly a problem in bedrooms. If you sleep with your bedroom door closed, you should add a smoke alarm in the bedroom; particularly if you smoke in the bedroom or there is a TV, air conditioner, or other major appliances in the bedroom that might start a fire. If you sleep with the bedroom door open, the alarm in the hall outside will detect a fire in the bedroom or elsewhere.

There are a few places where a smoke alarm should not be placed. These include kitchens and garages (cooking fumes and car exhaust are likely to set them off) and unheated attics and crawl spaces (where it can get too cold or hot for the electronics to work properly). Fires beginning in these areas are generally detected by the other smoke alarms in enough time to escape safely. If an alarm is desired in these spaces, heat detectors are available. But remember that the smoke alarms are the primary safety devices in any home protection scheme.

What Kind of Smoke Alarm Should You Get?

There are two types of home smoke alarms available; the ion type and the photoelectric type. The ion type reacts faster to open flaming fires and is usually the least expensive. The photoelectric type reacts faster to smoldering fires and is less likely to react to cooking. Both types provide good protection and can be used without worry. If you need more than one alarm, you might get one of each. There are also multiple ways to power smoke alarms. Most operate on a battery (usually 9 volt), which should be replaced at least once a year. When the battery needs changing, the smoke alarm will begin to "chirp" every 20 seconds or so, this will persist for a month. This is most likely to start in the middle of the night (when the temperature in the house drops) causing you to get up and remove the battery so you can sleep. To prevent this nuisance you should pick a special day and give your alarms new batteries once a year. Some fire safety organizations promote "change your clocks, change your batteries" when the change is made back from daylight savings time each fall. Always make sure that you use the right battery ' the required battery type is marked on the alarm near where the battery goes. Smoke alarms installed in a house may be operated from the household electrical power and not need battery replacement. This type of alarm has a "power on" light to tell you that the alarm has power. Smoke alarms are available which run on house power but also have a battery in case the main power fails. Both types of alarms need to be tested monthly and batteries should be replaced yearly just as with the battery-only operated type.

How Should it be Installed?

Smoke alarms are normally installed on the ceiling or high on the wall, with the top of the alarm not closer than 4 inches nor further than 12 inches from the ceiling. Alarms should be no closer than 3 feet from supply registers of forced air heating systems (that might blow on the alarm preventing it from seeing smoke) and no closer than 3 feet from the door to a kitchen or a bathroom containing a shower (steam can set the alarm off when the door is opened).

If an alarm is mounted on an exterior wall or a ceiling below an unheated attic that is poorly insulated (the surface gets noticeably cold in the winter and warm in the summer), the temperature difference can prevent smoke from getting to the alarm. Placing the alarm on an inside wall avoids the problem. In desert climates where evaporative coolers are being used, mount smoke alarms on walls 12 inches below the ceiling. These coolers add moisture that can cause the smoke to drop.

Older adults may have difficulty reaching alarms on the ceiling to change batteries. If hard-wired alarms are impractical, wall mounting 12 inches down should be considered.

Will You be Able to Hear Your Alarms?

The ultimate test for smoke alarms is their ability to wake you when you are asleep. This generally means that the nearest alarm to the bedroom can be no further away than in the next room with the intervening door open.

Hard-wired alarms can be connected together (with a wire) so when one alarm activates, all interconnected alarms go off. Many alarms in new homes have this feature. It means any alarm in the home can awaken you in your bedroom if the nearest alarm is loud enough to do so.

For homes with battery-powered alarms, there are models that contain a radio transmitter that will activate a receiver that can be placed in the bedroom. An advantage of this type is that, when you go on vacation, you can give the receiver to a neighbor who could call the fire department if a fire starts. Of course, these are a lot more expensive than the simple alarms.

All battery-powered and most hard-wired smoke alarms use a high-pitched electronic horn which is difficult for some people to hear. Test alarms before installation to make sure that all members of the household can hear them clearly.

People with hearing impairments can get smoke alarms with bright, flashing lights or vibrating signals. To awaken you, the light needs to be over the head of the bed and should be rated at least 110 candles. Such bright lights must be powered from house power, so if it is battery operated, it is probably not bright enough to use in the bedroom.

Testing and Maintenance

Smoke alarms should be tested at least once a month. All smoke alarms have a test button that you push to check out the entire alarm, including its sensitivity (how much smoke it takes to set it off). If the testing mechanism does not work properly, the alarm should be replaced immediately. Never use open flame devices to test an alarm.

Older adults and the physically impaired may have problems reaching their alarms to test them. There is one brand of smoke alarm on which the test feature can be activated by shining a flashlight on it. Another brand has an automatic test that activates at the same time and day, once a week. These models can be used where proper testing might not otherwise be done.

Smoke alarms need no maintenance other than changing batteries (in those that have batteries) and an occasional vacuuming of dust or cobwebs. Every smoke alarm comes with a homeowner booklet, which describes how to use and take care of that particular alarm. You should read that booklet and keep it in a safe place for future reference.

What if Your Alarm "ACTS UP"?

Smoke alarms are highly reliable but can sometimes be fooled by cooking or steam. If it sounds when there is not fire, it may need to be moved a few feet to a new position where it is not in the way of cooking vapors or steam. It may also have insects in it, so you should take it down and vacuum it out. If it continues to act up, simply replace it with a new alarm. They are inexpensive and can be purchased at any local hardware store.

How Long Should Your Smoke Alarm Last?

Smoke alarms have a useful life of about ten years. At that age they should be replaced, even if they seem to be working. This will assure that the alarm will be working when you need it.

Even though prices of today's smoke alarms are less expensive than you might have paid some years ago, today's alarms are more reliable. Thus, it is usually not worth keeping an old alarm rather than buying a replacement.

If your not happy with the market, look at the following ways.

Sun, 20 Jul 2008 13:49:05 -0500

If your not happy with the market, look at the following ways.

In a slower market we all have less money to spend but in the Home Inspection Industry those that don't market dry up and move on. If you're marketing budget is too small your going to lose business. If you don't know how much you should be spending 7-12% of your gross sales is a good guideline. The worst mistake is to drop out entirely. Instead, if you must, cut back, but never stop marketing. A terrible thing happens when you stop marketing, potential business goes to other inspectors.

One of the reasons many companies stop or slow their marketing efforts is that cannot determine its effectiveness. Do you ask your clients how they found out about you? Do you ask new realtor clients how they heard about you? Asking is the only way you will know what's working.

1. Alternate your media

I believe in marketing to Realtors. They are where the customers are and frankly it's more effective to advertise to these folks. Hopefully you already have some written business plan for 2008. If not just pull out a calendar and figure out a marketing/ advertising strategy. We do newsletters, postcards, flyers, notepads and giveaway trinkets. NAHI has made this easier for you. Simply go to the Marketing Toolbox and you will find successful examples that you can customize for you business.

2. Use the Internet to generate local leads.

Since the arrival of the Internet as an advertising tool, three fascinating facts have emerged:

Fish where the fish are. Surveys have shown that 72% of real estate buyers do research on the internet prior to making a purchase. How large of an Internet presence do you have? Search for your company name on the big three of the search engines: Google, Yahoo and AOL. Where do you show up? Now search as a prospective client would, use just your "town, state" and "home inspector". Where do you rank? If you're not on the first page, you have some work to do because most prospects usually don't go beyond that. If you don't know what SEO stands for, then you need some education. NAHI has information on SEO on its website.

Most sellers search the Internet first as buyers. Most web leads come from prospects that live in the local area and want to move within the local area. This makes sense, because most sellers what to see what's out there to buy, before they get serious about selling. If you haven't localized your Internet presence and website, you need to do that immediately.

information-gathering Internet prospects have not yet contacted the competition. Most Internet prospects research online and make contact via e-mail or phone. Be ready to respond quickly when they contact you. They may want a home inspector ready to go when they make an offer on a home. Quickly establish yourself as your prospects' one-stop source of clear and current information with prompt responses to their online inquiries.

3. Mix your media and tumble your timing.

Since I target realtors I vary my messages and delivery vehicles according to the seasons. I know I will get more mind share in the slower months, so I may do an informational newsletter in November and January then vary between postcards and flyers in the busier times. For buyers I also use pay for click placement on Google and Yahoo. I don't bid over $1.00 per click and cap my expenditure at $25 per site per month. Since I have come up in the top 5 organic search placements in my target market, my thinking is that if they see my name multiple times they will click on one of them. Either way I win.

4. Manage costs

Printing: Internet oriented print companies such as GoPrint will offer specials from time to time. Take advantage of those to get the best rates of post cards, brochures and flyers.

Direct mail: This is a misnomer for me because I rarely use the Post Office for marketing pieces. I hand deliver all my pieces and use the time to drop in on realtors.

Newspaper/ magazine: I have stayed away from this, as I don't know of any inspector who says the return has justified the expense.

Yellow Pages: Some inspectors say a small ad is worth it and some say its not. This is a personal choice in your market.

Pay per click: Low per-click bidders can get great click-through late in the month after high per-click advertisers use up their budget and drop out. Paying top bid rates per click isn't necessary. If the words are that expensive concentrate on getting higher in the organic searches.

TV and radio: Frankly this is too costly for my business so I don't even consider it.

5. Build a client database.

Cost-effective marketing is a numbers game - the one with the biggest numbers wins. That's why the value of your business increases exponentially with the size of your database. Develop a "customer care campaign" designed to convert past clients and sphere relationships into your core "advocates" who send you referrals and repeat business constantly. Try to make your money and your relationships work equally. Being overly dependent on either advertising or referrals for more than half your business is ultimately unhealthy.

702-346-4279

Hello and welcome to CEREIS's BLOG!

We hope to be able to serve the needs of Mesquite and other cities close to Mesquite.

We would like for you to leave us with your post to our blog letting us know the needs of the realtors, mortgage companies, rentals agents.

Also we are here for the FOR SALE BY OWNERS! Just because they not using a realtor, does not mean they do not need a pre sale inspection. This is the way to help them find the condition of their home before selling it. If, you plan on selling your home call us to get you the inspection for the condition of your home.

One Stop Shopping for all of your Inspection Needs.

Getting a home inspection is not a luxury. In fact, a home inspection performed by a professional inspector will help you to determine whether not a buying or selling transaction will occur. It can also help you to monitor the quality of a home you are having built, and it can help you to catch problems while your home is still under warranty. In fact, the results of a thorough home inspection is often provides two or more parties with the information they need to make the necessary adjustments in order to allow a transaction to proceed successfully. Listed below are the four most common reasons for getting a home inspection.

Buyer-Seller Inspections

If you are considering the purchase of a home, or if you are planning on selling the home you live in now, you will certainly need to have the property inspected. If you are selling your home, an inspection will help you to determine whether or not you will achieve your asking price. More importantly, it can also help you to identify potential problems with your property's structure and mechanical systems that could kill the sale. In fact, a seller's inspection can be pivotal in helping you to close a sale because it show prospective buyers that you are interested in the quality of the product you are selling as well as the well-being of those who want to purchase it.

If you are buying a home, you will want to have the property that interests you inspected, as well. Even if the seller presents an inspection report to you, you should still retain your own inspector. The reasons for this are sound. For example, a seller may present an outdated inspection report to you that does no accurately reflect any changes in the condition of the property. Also, a well-intentioned seller may have attempted to repair damage found by an inspection report, and such repairs may not meet your standards (or the standards of your home inspector). Additionally, by using your own professional inspector, you are a much better position to negotiate the final price of a property because you are more aware of the property's actual condition. By hiring your own inspector, you simply cannot lose.

Builder Inspections

Builders employ dozens of skilled craftsmen to construct a home, but even skilled craftsmen can make mistakes. After all, a home is built from thousands of components, and those components must be assembled in exactly the right way. The mistakes made by builders and their crews may often go un-checked by a foreman who is typically busy trying to assure that the job gets done on time and within budget. Sometimes these mistakes can lead to serious problems with a home that may only be discovered later after the damage has made itself apparent

By retaining a professional home inspector to inspect a newly-built property prior to moving in, also called a builder's inspection, you can catch potentially costly or dangerous construction-related problems at a time when it is easier for the builder to make the necessary corrections and repairs. In fact, it is highly-recommended that you retain your home inspector to perform two inspections. The first inspection should occur just after the framing and before the hanging of walls and ceiling. This will allow your home inspector to catch potential problems [primarily] with the assembled supporting structures. The second inspection should occur just prior to moving your possessions into the home. The will allow your home inspector to have uninhibited access to areas of the completed building so that entire, completed home can be inspected for damage or deficiencies in overall contruction quailty.

Warranty Inspections

It seems comical at times when something we've purchased breaks within days or weeks after its warranty has expired. In fact, its a running joke on every continent. But there is a big difference between a $35 product that can easily be replaced and $150,000+ home that provides shelter, safety and comfort for you and your family. A home warranty inspection should be performed prior to the expiration of your home's warranty so that items that need to be repaired can be fixed under the protection of your warranty without significant out-of-pocket costs, if any, being incurred by you.

Rental/Property Management Inspections

If you own rental property, then you already understand the need to assure that your property is in tip-top shape prior to allowing renters to occupy the building. You are also aware of the need to assure that your property has not been damaged before renters vacate the property. A rental/property management inspection is designed to protect you from serious liability that can result from renting or leasing a potentially hazardous property. Additionally, a rental/property management inspection also helps you to protect your assets by identifying damage that may have potentially been caused by occupants.

To everyone, we like to say Hello and think City of Mesquite is full of wonderful people and we are happy to call this place home.

Thank You.

Home Inspection

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A home inspection is a non-invasive examination of the condition of a home, often in connection with the sale of that home. This is carried out by a home inspector, who usually has special equipment and training to carry out such inspections.

An inspector will check the roof, basement, heating system, water heater, air-conditioning system, structure, plumbing, electrical, and many other aspects of buildings looking for improper building practices, those items that require extensive repairs, items that are general maintenance issues, as well as fire, safety, and health hazards. Think of a home inspector as a detective searching throughout the house for clues that lead to a conclusion of the home's overall condition.

A home inspector is sometimes confused with a real estate appraiser. A home inspector determines the condition of a structure, whereas an appraiser determines the value of a property.

A home cannot "fail" an inspection, as there is no score or passing grade given. A professional home inspection is an examination of the current condition of a house. It is not an appraisal. It is not a municipal inspection, which verifies local building code code compliance. A home inspector, therefore, will not pass or fail a house, but rather describe its physical condition and indicate what components and systems may need a major or minor repair or replacement.

Mesquite, Nevada wants new Airport. Will get it with land to sell to others.

Sun, 29 Jun 2008 18:29:17 -0500

The plans call for a 7,500-foot runway, along with taxiways and connectors, as part of a 2,560-acre parcel of land to be released to the City of Mesquite near I-15’s mile marker 108. While the distant location would create some transportation problems for those who fly in and need to reach the city, the FAA indicated that there are significant advantages to the location, particularly in the arena of Detectable Noise Levels (DNL). According to the Environmental Impact Statement prepared by the FAA, the proposed project would not “cause a significant noise impact based on FAA’s Land Use Compatibility Guidelines,” and in fact “no residences or other noise-sensitive resources would experience an increase of DNL 3.0 or greater.” The study indicates that the city’s current airport has “inadequate runway takeoff lengths,” leading to “aircraft operating restrictions.” It also confirms that “the existing airport is physically constrained by its location,” leading to “limited on-airport development.” The Mesquite Municipal Airport is currently located atop Kitty Hawk Drive, locked in between the world-famous Wolf Creek Golf Course, a collection of upscale residential developments, and the Arizona state line. Because of it’s location, the runway couldn’t be extended to the 7,500-foot level. Also, there is no room to build additional structures or hangars on the property, according to proponents of the move. However, local pilot Douglas Guiver disputes that position. “There is presently a 160-foot by 150-foot lot being used for skydiving that could be turned into hangar space,” Guiver said during his verbal presentation at the hearing. Guiver, who keeps a plane at the airport and lives nearby, explained that he is at the airport five to seven days a week, and disputes the FAA’s estimates that the airport experienced more than 16,000 operations in 2006. “On a busy day, there are only five to seven planes that takeoff and land there,” Guiver said. He also pointed out that “the Overton Airport is only eight nautical miles away, and on a busy day, they only see three or four planes.” Like several owners who keep their aircraft at the Mesquite Airport, Guiver is concerned about the distance to the new airport and the security. “We will have an airport that has no security, no transportation to get to it. This will be 15 miles out of town. It won’t work well with people leaving their planes out there, whether it’s a $100,000 plane or a five-million dollar jet, without any security or transportation.” Guiver pointed out that he also owns a house in a small town in Colorado, and claims that it’s a great location because the airport is conveniently located in the middle of town. He also wanted local citizens to know that the FAA won’t be paying for the new airport, and that it will be an expensive proposition. “We’re talking about spending millions of dollars to move the airport, and the FAA is not paying for construction.” George Michnick, who is a founding member of the local Defend Our Desert group, expressed concerns about the impact on desert tortoises in the area of the proposed airport. “There are quite a number of desert tortoises out that way,” he said. He was also curious about how many jets currently use the Mesquite airport, and the proximity of the city to the new airport. “Being 15 miles away, it won’t attract many business jets because of the transportation and security reasons,” Michnick said. He also pointed out that, with the price of gas today, the FAA needed to assess the costs and fuel impacts for ground travel back and forth from Mesquite to the new location. However, he was supportive of the possibility for passenger service at the new airport. “It would be nice to see some light commercial traffic for folks who would like to travel to other cities without having to travel to Las Vegas or St. George.” Jack Lewis, the only other person to speak during the hearing, lauded the FAA for the study. “You did an excellent job of assembling a whole lot of data,” Lewis said. “It looks like a good project.” Following the third and final speaker, and with no other individuals signing up to speak, FAA official and moderator Barry Franklin offered a 15-minute recess. After resuming, no one else volunteered to speak, and the hearing was adjourned an astounding 45 minutes after it began. The FAA will continue to accept written comments about the project until July 18. After that, a consultant will prepare the final EIS which will be circulated by the FAA, then a final decision will be rendered. According to the FAA document, the proposed airport is tentatively set to open in 2014.
