Do you have "Split Personality Disorder"? (online)

Turn-Key Properties LLC, Kansas City Investment Property — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 10:18:41 -0600

Dissociative identity disorder or split personality disorder is a psychaiatric condition defined as on person having at least two separate personalities that take control of the persons behavior.

You may have created a two headed monster?

I recently asked a real estate professional to join me on FaceBook, he replied that he does not add other Realtors to his Facebook profile but he does have another facebook profile.

I found that interesting and then I found that many people keep both a professional and a personal profile.

I admit, I liked Facebook a lot better when it was just friends and family, but it has been a great resource for networking with other real estate professionals, some clients and many real estate investors.

So if you maintain two identities, one for just friends and the one for just clients; how do you possibly separate the two. Are you pretending to be something your not in your professional profile? How can you possibly separate the two if your friends are also your clients?

I maintain several websites, numerous blogs and dozens of social networking profiles. The last thing I want is to try to remember which ones I can be genuine in and which ones I have to pretend to be someone else.

In this day of technology nearly anyone you meet and intend to do business with will eventually "Google" your name, will they find more than one of you?

Here; let me Google that for you; http://tinyurl.com/ydaslhq

I proudly proclaim my beliefs, my values, my patriotism and sometimes my politics! I am me, not a cleaned up version of me... Just me; and I am proud of who and what I am. If you don't like me then I will not pretend to be someone else to impress you.

If you try to be someone other than who you are, I will probably not be very impressed with either of you!

Holloween Safety Tips for your Pets!

Turn-Key Properties LLC, Kansas City Investment Property — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 14:46:40 -0500

Halloween can be fun and festive for people, but for pets it can be dangerous. Here are some tips from Turn-Key Properties LLC to help you ensure that your pet has a happy and safe Halloween ...

1) Chocolate in all forms - especially dark or baking chocolate - can be dangerous for dogs and cats. Symptoms of significant chocolate ingestion may include vomiting, diarrhea, hyperactivity, increased thirst, urination, and heart rate - even seizures.

2) Candies containing the artificial sweetener xylitol can be poisonous to dogs. Even small amounts of xylitol sweetener can cause a sudden drop in blood sugar, which leads to depression, lack of coordination and seizures. In cases of significantly low blood sugar, liver failure has been known to occur.

3) Ingesting tin foil and cellophane candy wrappers can pose a choking hazard or cause intestinal blockage.

4) Dogs can have lethal tails, wagging all over the place. Don't leave any lighted candles or Jack-O-Lanterns where they could be knocked over by a wagging tail or curious cat.

5) If you do dress up your pet, make sure the costume isn't annoying or unsafe. It should not constrict the animal's movement or hearing or impede his ability to breathe, bark or meow. Place a reflective collar on your pet if trick or treating at night. You can also place a flashing LED strobe on them so they can be seen.

6) Don't leave your pet outside unattended on Halloween (or on the days preceding or following this holiday). Halloween pranks committed against pets can be vicious, and black cats are particularly at risk.

7) When you do answer the door for visitors, make sure your pet doesn't suddenly head for the door. In case your pet does escape, make sure that it is wearing proper identification. Pets with proper identification are much more likely to be returned to their owners.

8) If you decide to ride your horse with a pumpkin for a head, make sure you can see out of the jack-o-lantern.

Following these few simple tips will help keep your pets safe this holiday season!

Plagiarism, here are a few examples with email addresses of the thieves! Have Fun!

Turn-Key Properties LLC, Kansas City Investment Property — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 10:16:04 -0500

One page, the Property Management page of one of my websites is perhaps one of the most plagiarized pages on the Internet. It seems nearly every month someone else is stealing it and re-posting it to yet another site.

Copyscape is a great tool for finding people who steal content from your blogs and websites. It will highlight the words that were stolen from you so you can see just exactly how they modified the words, after they copied them from you and pasted them to their site.

Here are a few examples, I have included their email addresses so you can tell them what you think of their practices. Now many people wonder, what difference does it make if they steal your words? After-all isn't it a compliment that you wrote something so well that others copy it and use it?

Well in the SEO world Google and other search engines see it as duplicate content, it lowers your SEO score because they assume you stole it too.

So here's a few of them so you can tell them what you think of their tactics.

All American Property Management is the means by which you turn investment real estate into money. Property management is not just leasing a property to a renter and walking away or just collecting a rent check every month. Property Management is the daily maintenance of the tenant-landlord relationship. Tenant-landlord relationship is very important to renting success. It includes effective communication, property maintenance, periodic inspections, repairs and improvements. Rental property requires diligent care.

At All American Property Management our staff handles phone calls, leasing, sales appointments, tenant requests for information, late night emergency calls, rent collection, evictions, work orders, maintenance, contractors, city, county and other government entities, licensing, inspections, fire marshals, advertising, trash collection, housing authority, lawyers, peddlers, agents, gas and other utilities, storm damage, and all the necessary services.

Then there is this creep, I've sent them numerous emails and even called them on the phone, they still have the stolen content on their site.

Apartments for sale in Raytown, MO

Turn-Key Properties LLC, Kansas City Investment Property — Mon, 07 Sep 2009 19:51:00 -0500

As a broker who has over twenty five years of experience in multifamily properties I like to help investors find deals. Not everyone knows where to find the listings so I thought I would share what is currently on the market with you.

I chose Raytown, MO because I am familiar with the area and I like the rental market there. Turn-Key Properties LLC manages hundreds of rental properties in the area and I have found that Raytown rentals move quickly.

To start with Raytown is a small area nearly completely surrounded by Kansas City, MO. I have included in this search properties from the MLS listed as being in the Raytown School District. With the current and steadily deteriorating condition of the Kansas City, MO school district, we have seen a steady increase in demand for affordable housing in the Raytown area.

Here's the link http://portal.heartlandmls.com/de.asp?k=49468XEEBV&p=DE-1341520-830

Why start with the MLS? I know most serious commercial real estate brokers do not pay much attention to the MLS, but many residential real estate agents often list property and don't know where else to advertise it.

The other site of importance to the multifamily real estate market is of course Loopnet.com I one really interesting listing on that site.

If I may be of assistance to you in seeing or gathering more information about these or other listings give me a call. I know this market inside and out. Ben 816-313-8876

El Dorado Apartments
58 units currently listed at $1,895,000, the property has been on the market for a while.

I am fairly confidant the reason for selling is the fact that the neighboring Wal-Mart and Hy-Vee have vacated the neighborhood. However, the good news is that there has been quite a lot of interest in the site from several large HOME IMPROVEMENT stores.

If that happens you will see an increase in employment opportunities in the area and with that a greater demand for affordable housing.

I like this property for several reasons.

High occupancy: 94%
Affordability: Zilpy.com suggest the rental rate for a 2 bedroom in the area to average $550.
Location: The property is located in close proximity to several attractions, including the sports stadiums, stores, restaurants, entertainment and two major Interstates!
Condition: The property has been fairly well maintained.
Upside Potential: When this commercial property next door does get developed into something new it will undoubtedly bring jobs and renters.
Bus Route: The Metro bus comes to within 2 blocks of the site.

Where Bought Means ...LESS?!

Turn-Key Properties LLC, Kansas City Investment Property — Sun, 09 Aug 2009 15:42:57 -0500

I can't count the number of times I've seen "where sold means more" on someones business card or advertisement.

I wonder what buyers think of that, does that mean that you are looking to get your buyers more money or that you just realize that you get more commission the higher the sale price?

Why not "Where Bought Means Less"! (TPFIC - tongue planted firmly in cheek)

Hmm, gotta think on that one for a while!

Maybe it would be more correct to say "where purchased means less", or where ... well, you get the idea!

Real Estate Contracts, or an Old-Fashioned Handshake?

Turn-Key Properties LLC, Kansas City Investment Property — Sun, 09 Aug 2009 14:52:11 -0500

I didn't ask them to sign the exclusive before I left town!

Wow! What a busy week, I've been helping some of the new transfers to the Fairfax Assembly plant in the Fairfax District of Kansas City find homes. Many of them have homes back in Ohio or Tennessee that they still have to sell, many of them are looking to rent until that happens.

One couple from Ohio called me a few weeks ago looking for some property where they can keep a horse. As a horse lover myself, this is something I definitely understand. As we worked on finding them the right home, I learned what really mattered to them.

Five Acres or more!
Equestrian Property
Good schools.
No more than a one hour drive to the Fairfax GM plant.
A pond!
A basement.
A country setting.
Working with someone they felt comfortable with.

We had discussed them coming into town earlier, and I had told them I would be out of town Friday through Sunday. They called me early Thursday morning and informed me they were in town!

Oops! We had discussed the idea that they may come in early but I expected to meet the the following Monday!

Don't panic, just make appointments and gas up the truck, were going to do some serious driving. They had driven all night and wanted to see properties NOW!

While driving to meet them I called several of the agents to schedule showings, I lined them out in my GPS and picked up the family. They were happy to see I was driving a CHEVY, and said they wouldn't use a Realtor® who drove a foreign car!

We drove over 130 miles Thursday, and in all the rush I didn't have them sign an exclusive. The Friday trip was planned in advance and I had no choice but to go.

We shook hands and I told them I would be back Sunday night. I handed them a stack of MLS print-outs to check out and bid them good night.

Friday and Saturday I had no cell phone service at all. On my way home Sunday I called them to see if they had tried the restaurants I had suggested while they were in Kansas City. I told them we would get a fresh start at it on Monday morning and we would find them a new home.

Checking my messages I found that several agents had met with them over the weekend and they had all tried to sign them up! My clients told them they had shaken hands and that was enough for them.

Monday we drove another 100 miles or so and finally fell in love with a beautiful home on acreage North of Kansas City in a little town called Gower, MO. It had nearly 8 acres, a great pond full of Bass and Catfish, three bedrooms a basement and plenty of wildlife!

We had traveled from Lenexa, KS to Harrisonville, MO back to Lenexa, KS up to Smithville, Lake, Mo and finally wound up in Gower, MO.

Their two little pre-school girls had sat all this time in the confines of the back seat of my truck and been complete angels.

I ordered a pizza to be delivered to my office at 6:30 PM we came back to Kansas City and ate pizza until all the forms were signed.

I really love working with honest hardworking folks who still believe in the value of a handshake!

Welcome to Kansas City GM Fairfax workers, I hope all of you find an agent you can trust and work with too!

A Farewell to Freedom!

Turn-Key Properties LLC, Kansas City Investment Property — Tue, 28 Jul 2009 09:11:57 -0500

A Farewell to Freedom - By D. Ben Edsall©

"God knows I didn't mean to fall in love with her."
- Ernest Hemingway, A Farewell to Arms, Chapter 14

Freedom; God knows I didn't mean to fall in love with her, but she was so fair, so graceful, so elegant. Her dazzling beauty shown against the morning sun as a star spangled banner hovered o'er the mist of battles won.

With torch she stands and lights the way to freedoms western shore, yearning masses still seeking her, the tired and the poor.

Upon the golden door she shines a glimmering of hope, yet past the shore the twinkling dims as freedoms are abhorred!

Not free to smoke a cigarette, not free to have a gun. Not free to have my own doctor, but now appointed one.

Not free to seek my own success, but taxed for having some. Not free to drive my SUV but sneered at like I'm scum.

First they came for them for life, then they denied the Son. Then they came for the ten commands, replacing them with none.

They took away my Chlordane, my Freon and the sun, they tell me that its bad for me and it'll burn your skin my son.

"the coward dies a thousand deaths, the brave but (only) one."
- Ernest Hemingway, A Farewell to Arms, Chapter 21

So stand I will on principle with my Bible and my gun, they'll take the rest away from me but of these they will have none!

"it is now hard to leave the country but it is in no way impossible."
- Ernest Hemingway, A Farewell to Arms, Chapter 33

But where the hell do you go?

When the time comes to bury your guns.... It's time to dig them up!

Free Horse if you buy this property!

Turn-Key Properties LLC, Kansas City Investment Property — Tue, 09 Jun 2009 18:37:12 -0500

Forever trying to come up with innovative and out of the box marketing ideas, I sat on this one for some time. Since Kansas has disposed of the old inducements law, I am now free to offer something to my clients to show my appreciation.

Missouri is still stuck in the mud with outdated rules, but thankfully I have the privilege of working in both Kansas and Missouri.

I first called the instructor at the real estate school where I take my CE classes. Brad Barker informed me he was 99% sure that offering a horse or most any other chattel was OK with the KREC, he also suggested I ask them. So I timidly called the guys in the Capital City and posed a question: Can I offer a horse to a buyer if they close on the deal?

I expected either a stiff "no" or a "sure you can"; what I got was silence. Seems it had to go before the board to be decided. In the mean time I set about deciding what horse I might offer. I asked my wife if we could cut one from the remuda and offer it as an advertising promotion.

My wife is rather fond of her stock and doesn't see them as chattel the way I do. But I built her a website for her "horse business" and in the three years it has been up I don't think she has ever looked at it. So I parked some AdSense ads there for income. Since the horse market crashed even before the real estate market, I have been looking for a way to thin the heard.

Finally after a few weeks I received a letter of confirmation from the KREC, they had decided that offering a horse (or other chattel) was perfectly legal. They did express concern about civil liabilities though so I talked to my Kansas Real Estate Attorney. She discussed it with some other lawyer types and thought I should have a disclaimer.

Her disclaimer was short and sweet:

DISCLAIMER: THE HORSE IS A GIFT. IT IS PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY OF ANY KIND INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, OR FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE. IN NO EVENT SHALL TURN KEY PROPERTIES OR ITS AGENTS OR OFFICERS BE LIABILE FOR ANY DAMAGES WHATSOEVER AFTER THE DATE OF THE GIFT.

Mine was a bit longer; In fact it required an entire web page: Free horse, disclaimer .

So off I go to get those listings! I may even offer a free horse if you buy the car wash in KS I have for sale.

I do work with equestrian property in Missouri and Kansas, so this may be a way to get noticed!

When do you turn down a commision on a million dollar deal?

Turn-Key Properties LLC, Kansas City Investment Property — Fri, 15 May 2009 23:38:25 -0500

When do you turn down a commission on a million dollar deal?

When it is the right thing to do!

I have been working with some charitable organizations to close a deal that will help hundreds of needy people. There was an opportunity here to try to be compensated, but this is for the greater good.

America has many people in need, now more so than in any time in my life. So when do you turn down a commission on a million dollar deal? When it helps others.

Won't you help too? We need to raise $60,000 in 60 Days to fulfill this mission, this calling, to reach out to those in need. If you are familiar with the Dream Center www.dreamcenter.org than you will understand the need for this kind of ministry in the Midwest.

Join us in fighting poverty and helping others.

As we build the Kansas City Dream Center we will reach out to hundreds, even thousands of people in need. You can be a part of this ministry. Help us, help them, so many people are hurting, so many people are without jobs and without homes. We seek not to give them a fish, but to teach them to fish and provide for themselves; and to be fishers of men.

My friends and fellow Realtors, these are hard times for all, many of us are facing dificult times ourselves. But I have found that nothing takes your mind off your troubles like helpings others in need.

I have been blessed to be a part of one of the most amazing opportunities that has come my way.

If you have heard of the Dream Center and all the good they do then you will know what a great help it will be to have a Midwest based Dream Center right here in Kansas City, MO!.

"This is not a shelter for homeless, it is not a drug rehab facility," said Wiley. "It is a facility to assist the working poor who are dealing with the problem of being just one pay check away from being homeless." (from the Raytown Post)

What does a Dream Center do? A dream center is a place for homeless, poor and lost souls to get back on their feet and help others while helping themselves.

Please read these articles and see how we can help those in need.

Shadow Inventory... Only the shadow knows!

Turn-Key Properties LLC, Kansas City Investment Property — Tue, 12 May 2009 22:55:51 -0500

You've heard the speculation, you've read the blogs, how large is the looming shadow inventory?

As a broker and property manager, who has recently become one of the go to guys for REO, I can tell you the looming threat is ominous!

I am managing hundreds of REO investment properties for lenders who are reluctant to put them on the market, I am doing BPO's for lenders who are moving toward foreclosure on multiple commercial properties.

Lenders are holding back inventory because the market is soft and they do not want to flood the market with more toxic assets. From my experience these toxic shadow assets are mostly inner city investment property. Investors who went belly-up trying to buy and flip, got caught with an inventory that outweighed their net worth.

While I am seeing an increase in suburban foreclosure rates, the vast majority of REO's are in working class neighborhoods and neighborhoods with higher non-owner occupied properties.

The increasing rate of commercial foreclosure is a real concern, as the residential market is already in the toilet, the commercial real estate market is just beginning to dump.

Areas of affluence are now seeing vacancy increases and major anchor stores are leaving the big malls. Where will all this end?

Only the shadow knows!

Fix my house up for me! Do you get these calls?

Turn-Key Properties LLC, Kansas City Investment Property — Mon, 11 May 2009 15:42:23 -0500

Do you get those calls?
Dear Realtor, or Dear property manager;

I've got this broke down shack that needs a complete remodel, but I don't have the money to do it with. Can you please get it fixed up for me and sell it or rent it out?

After it sells or rents, you can keep what you spent on it and I get the rest!

This is a win-win for both of us and you are just not seeing the great opportunity I am presenting you! You buy the materials, remodel the house and with your skills as a real estate professional or property manager we will both profit from our relationship!

Or, the one I really love.... I just bought a house on the courthouse steps for $1,500 and I need someone to repair it and sell it for me! I haven't seen it yet but I've been told it should sell for about $60-70,000.

I just inherited my relatives home, they lived their for 57 years and it needs some work, if you fix it up and rent it out you can recapture your investment from the rent!

My response, I have the crews, contractors and ability to make any kind of repairs to your real estate investment. I am not a bank and any materials or labor performed will need to be paid for before or at the time of completion. If you cannot afford to make the repairs to the property, I suggest you try to find a lender who will loan you the money to make the repairs.

I even got a call once from a guy who had moved a whole house to a new location, he wanted to know if we could just finish placing it on the foundation and making all the repairs so that we could rent it out! In his mind it was a win-win, after about 6 years of rent we might break even, if we charged no interest!

My new website cost only 9.95 a year!

Turn-Key Properties LLC, Kansas City Investment Property — Wed, 06 May 2009 19:22:09 -0500

I just built and launched a new web site for less than $10.00 a year. I am working on some others now too. Bates County Real Estate

The trick is to get them up in the search engine rankings, but I'm pretty good at that. So why do I need yet another web site?

Links, referrals, and traffic. As I grow the popularity of this site I gain position on the Internet. As that sight gets more active it boosts the rating of the sites it links to.

One site can't do it all! My first site Turn-Key Properties LLC was supposed to be a one stop shop. Property Management, Investment Property, Commercial Property, Heck even information for consumers.

While my ranking is high, I was loosing too many visitors because what they first saw may not have been what they had Googled that brought them there.

So now I can focus on specific websites for specific property types and services. I twill take a lot of work, but I am accustom to that.

So how did I get a great looking website for less than $10.00 a year? www.weebly.com build your site for free, it will help to know a little HTML and have a basic understanding of SEO. Once it is built go to www.godaddy.com, (you know the one with the girls) and buy your domain for $9.95, then figure out how to change the domain registry to your new www.weebly.com site.

There you go, I've got about four hours in building a kick butt site that will act as a traffic generator and give me leads for other property types.

There are some limitations to the Weebly site, but for what it costs, I can live with it!

GUILTY... until you prove you are innocent! Fair Housing Again!

Turn-Key Properties LLC, Kansas City Investment Property — Fri, 01 May 2009 18:27:02 -0500

Welcome to my personal HELL! Yet another complaint by yet another whiner seeking to get something for nothing! The scam that is Fair Housing raises its ugly head again.

You must rent to this CONVICTED, REPEAT FELON!

I wrote on this subject before (Fair housing truths and myths). The reality of it is my family looks like a picnic at the United Nations! I've got Asian grandchildren, black-Canadian cousins, black great-nephews, heck I'm not even completely sure what my heritage is.

I explained in the linked post how this whole system works. It is all predicated on the notion that if accused you will pay them to leave you alone. Where I come from we call that EXTORTION!

Most of us are accustomed to the notion that anything from government is some form of extortion, but this one is particularly heinous. Since not admitting you are a racist, sexist bigoted, homophobic, ass will cost you tens of thousands. It is much easier to just agree to apologize and take some sensitivity training, or in our case be forced to allow the repeat felon to move into one of our rental units.

So which one of my clients gets the prize? Which one of my clients investment property will I move this career criminal into? In over thirty years since his criminal record started the only time he was not getting arrested was when he was incarcerated. And once I do rent to him under threat of extortion, does that mean that I now have to rent to all convicted felons?

Our friend, "the investigator" understood why we may not have wanted to put him in a building with several older single females and some disabled people, but perhaps we should have offered him a house instead!

So let me get this straight! You the "investigator" want me to STEER applicants to specific properties because they may pose a threat to people in another property????

Steering Defined: It shall be unlawful, because of race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, or national origin, to restrict or attempt to restrict the choices of a person by word or conduct in connection with seeking, negotiating for, buying or renting a dwelling so as to perpetuate, or tend to perpetuate, segregated housing patterns, or to discourage or obstruct choices in a community, neighborhood or development. (24 CFR Part 14, Section 100.70(a))

CATCH 22: If I tell the criminal that he can't live in that building, but he can live in this other one; then I am breaking the law! If I tell him he can't rent from me because he is a criminal, then he files a lawsuit claiming discrimination. If I move him in with his 30+ year criminal history and he attacks, robs and murders his neighbors, than I will be in court for that!

The Good News! The "investigator" told us that Kansas City, MO is considering making it illegal to discriminate against criminals! Stay tuned I just learned about that. I will ask my friend Darla to take a look at that plan.

Here is my beautiful great nephew!

Nyhart Missouri, Nyhart, MO

Turn-Key Properties LLC, Kansas City Investment Property — Sun, 26 Apr 2009 02:11:33 -0500

Nyhart is a little town, that few people even know exist, in-fact the town sign has even gone missing. Nyhart, MO holds a special place in my heart. I'm not going to make a bunch of money selling real estate there, Nyhart only has about three houses.

Nyhart is located in the heart of Bates County Missouri , Nyhart is a forgotten little burg just West of Butler, MO that time forgot. But my family will never forget the little town of Nyhart, MO.

What makes Nyhart memorable is not it's small town charm, or the fact that I pass through it every time I go home, but the fact that that is where my mother died.

The old low water bridge at Nyhart, MO took the life of Celia VanGelder. Celia Louise VanGelder was 70 years old. She had been the loving mother of 5 children.

She had raised us all to love God, do what is right, and above all remember that the only thing we took to the grave was our name!

www.batesountyrealestate.com is one of the many sites I manage, and in all I do I try to remember her teachings. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you, the only thing you take to your grave is your name, Worry is interest paid on trouble before it is due and some of her final words to me, "I am ready, all my children know the Lord and my work is done here" God promised me 70 years, and when they are done, I will be ready to meet Him.

Mom made it to 70, and because she believed the Bible promised her 70, that is what she received. I learned a lot from Mom, her faith, her courage, her life. Celia VanGelder sacrificed everything for her family and her beliefs.

Above all else, Celia VanGelder knew the Lord.

When she perished in the waters of the Marais des Cygnes River, she was confident in her future, she knew where she was going, she was at peace.

Celia Louise VanGelder was a Christian, and she is at home with Jesus today. I look forward to joining her someday.

I am also very happy that the bridge that bares her name will hopefully prevent anymore unfortunate disasters, because the low water crossing is a lot safer with a bridge now.

This is the old Nyhart low water crossing, Thank God no one will ever be forced to cross this again. I hope eventually we will eliminate all these dangerous low water crossings.

But for now I am thankful that Bates County, Mo has built a bridge over the Marais des Cygnes River to protect the people of Bates County, MO.

Horses Making Ice Cream! You gotta see this!

Turn-Key Properties LLC, Kansas City Investment Property — Sun, 19 Apr 2009 14:31:53 -0500

I took my Grandson Cody to the farm this weekend I figured we would scout for some turkeys for the upcoming season. We got rained out pretty hard and decided to go to town to get some food.

On the way back we saw an auction sign, now I love a good farm auction and I convinced him it might be fun...

The auction was just outside of Rich Hill, MO. Rich Hill has a thriving Amish community nearby and there were many Amish folks there.

This was one huge auction, they had three auctioneers going at the same time!

But what we found most fascinating was seeing horses making Ice Cream. We were so intrigued we actually bought some and it turned out to be pretty good.

I haven't posted this to YouTube yet and I haven't subscribed to AR's video service so you can see the video at the link below.

I posted more information and a video on one of my other blogs, http://bwikc.blogspot.com/2009/04/horses-making-ice-cream.html
