For this episode of Sparks & Rec, the crew of Dubz and Tuff have come to port to collect their mail! And what should they find but four months of WWG Player Summaries? Digging into the numbers in search of buried treasure, they discuss their most-purchased cards, favored factions, and more. Tuff even declares one card a glorious gem above all others – the best card in the game! Then, the crew heads to the most magnificent castle in all of Thandar, where sits the royalty of Realms Rising. But after years of battle, the castle has seen better days. Donning medieval hard hats, Dubz and Tuff discuss how the King of the Castle community event could be modernized for today's level cap and expanded selection of classes and races. Be sure to tune in and comment on discord so we can work together to reboot and revitalize the event! All that and more, thanks for listening!

America doesn't have an Iran deal and gas prices are skyrocketing, but don't worry, at least we have a fancy new driveway and helicopter pad at the White House. President Construction Project is back at it with another way to spend money. Trump called reporters to the South Lawn for an impromptu tour of his new driveway replacement and a look at the progress on his new helipad. Trump also says the driveway is getting an upgrade with California-mined white granite that he says is more fitting for the White House. Standing near the carved granite helipad with the presidential seal, Trump presented the construction as a central part of his legacy. Speaking of goings on at the White House, we are learning more about the odd relationship between Trump and his aide Natalie Harp. Reports indicate that she once rode in the trunk when there weren't enough seats in Trump's vehicle so they wouldn't be separated...and that for more than a year, she refused to get a security clearance.

John checks in fresh off a trip to Maine, where the lobster is great and the golf is classic New England. Jeff counters with his time teaching at the ultra‑exclusive Yellowstone Club in Montana — mountain golf, thin air, and views that make you forget you just chunked a wedge. Donald Ross & The Art of Greens That Make You Cry The guys dive into Donald Ross's legendary greens — the ones that look innocent until your ball starts rolling like it's late for a meeting. They compare Ross's style with Pete Dye's “I dare you” intimidation and McKenzie's artistic, flowing layouts. Jeff previews his upcoming West Coast McKenzie tour, which John immediately tries to invite himself on. Renovations, Reconstructions & Golden Age Reboots Jeff talks Spyglass renovations and a reconstructed McKenzie course in Wisconsin. John wonders what it would be like to play a 1920s design built with modern machinery — old strategy meets new bulldozers. The Lido, Sand Valley & Modern Classics The guys geek out over the original Lido — a C.B. MacDonald/McKenzie/Raynor masterpiece — and its modern recreation at Sand Valley. They hit on courses that became famous fast: Bandon Dunes Whistling Straits Payne's Valley (aka “Tiger's scenic roller coaster”) The Tillinghast Tour Idea Jeff rattles off Tillinghast courses like he's reading from a phone book. John suggests a “Tillinghast Tour,” the golf‑nerd equivalent of following the Grateful Dead around the country. They compare it to Dye, Palmer, and Norman tours and swap favorite designer quotes — including Rocco Mediate's classic Dye jab. Design Philosophy & How Not to Get Tricked Jeff breaks down fairway bunkering, hidden landing zones, and greens that wiggle like a toddler on sugar. They talk about how caddies can save your round on visually deceptive layouts — assuming you actually listen to them. Mountain Golf & Wildlife Cameos Jeff shares stories from Pine Canyon in Flagstaff, where the scenery is gorgeous and the wildlife occasionally decides it owns the fairway. The Big Idea: East‑to‑West Golf Trip John pitches an October RV golf adventure from the East Coast to the West Coast. Jeff pretends to think about it. John invites Chris Mascaro to join a future show, because every good golf trip needs at least one guy who brings snacks. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Andrew and I have decided to do a monthly podcast specifically for real estate investing in Halifax. We are going to pick one property that's for sale on MLS in Halifax and breakdown the potential income and expenses for that property if we were to purchase it ourselves!Today's listing is 1197-1199 St Margarets Bay's Bay Road in Beechville just outside of Halifax. MLS #202614472 This listing is a legal duplex with a 3 bedroom 1.5 bathroom unit and a 1 bedroom 1 bathroom unit, the lot itself is lakefront as well. We do some rough calculations to figure out the following1.) Potential income 2.) Potential monthly expenses at current purchase price3.) Renovations/upgrades to improve the value of the property and increase cashflow4.) Investment strategy for this specific unit (buy & hold, Airbnb, BRRRR, etc.)Enjoy!Jason Paul902-220-7357jason@infinityrealestategroup.ca@jasonpaulhalifaxrealtor@halifaxrealestatepodcastAndrew Hutchison902-240-7212andrew@hutchisonmortgages.ca@andrew_hutchison_mortgages

Where Real Estate Investors Lose MoneyReal estate investors often focus on purchase price, rental income, and appreciation while overlooking the expenses that quietly reduce their returns.Guest host Ken May talks with Sam Yang, owner of Overline IQ, about cost segregation, insurance expenses, ownership structures, excessive leverage, and the importance of planning before purchasing a property. Sam explains how investors can identify financial inefficiencies, protect their cash flow, and make decisions based on real numbers rather than emotion.5 Key TakeawaysTaxes and insurance are two of the most overlooked expenses affecting real estate returns.Cost segregation may allow qualifying property components to be depreciated more quickly.Renovations and partial asset disposition can create tax opportunities investors frequently miss.Proper ownership structures may help separate liability between properties and protect other assets.Successful investors forecast cash flow, prepare for unexpected expenses, and avoid becoming overleveraged.Connect With Sam YangWebsite: https://overlineiq.comEmail: sam@overlineiq.comPhone: 401-339-7930Connect with Ken May on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kenmaymoney/This episode is for educational purposes and does not constitute individualized tax, legal, insurance, or investment advice.

Show Notes In this episode of Be a Smarter Homeowner, host Beth Dodson sits down with Craig Sheets, founder of Crestville Accounting, to unpack one of the most misunderstood parts of homeownership: taxes. Craig brings nearly 25 years of senior-level accounting experience and helps individuals and business owners not only stay compliant, but also make smarter financial decisions throughout the year. Together, Beth and Craig discuss how homeowners can better understand deductions, tax planning, rental property rules, renovation records, mortgage interest, inherited homes, and the importance of working with a knowledgeable CPA. This conversation covers practical tax considerations for both primary residences and rental properties, including the difference between repairs and capital improvements, how renovations can affect your cost basis, what rental property owners should know about depreciation, and why keeping detailed records can make a major difference when it is time to file taxes or sell a home. Topics covered include: Homeowner tax myths, Schedule A deductions, sales tax deductions, mortgage interest, real estate taxes, rental property deductions, cost segregation, depreciation, repairs versus renovations, capital improvements, tax basis, inherited homes, revocable and irrevocable trusts, energy-efficiency tax credits, and why planning with your CPA matters. Important note: This episode is for educational purposes only. Tax laws and individual situations vary, so homeowners should consult their own CPA, accountant, or financial advisor before making tax decisions.   Episode Summary Your home is often your largest financial asset, but many homeowners do not fully understand how it connects to their tax strategy. In this episode, Beth Dodson talks with CPA Craig Sheets about the deductions, credits, planning opportunities, and recordkeeping habits homeowners should know. Craig explains why tax planning should happen year-round, not just during filing season. He discusses how homeowners may be able to deduct certain taxes, mortgage interest, sales tax on qualifying renovations, and energy-efficient upgrades. He also breaks down the difference between a repair and a renovation, explaining why that distinction matters for tax purposes. For rental property owners, Craig goes deeper into depreciation, cost segregation, active versus passive management, possible travel and business-related deductions, and the importance of understanding how a property is owned. Beth and Craig also explore how renovations can affect a home's tax basis and why detailed project records can help homeowners reduce potential capital gains later. The episode closes with practical advice: keep receipts, track home improvements, document energy-efficient upgrades, communicate with your CPA before major projects, and treat your home like the financial asset it is.   Key Takeaways Homeowners may miss deductions simply because they do not know what to track. Repairs and renovations are treated differently for tax purposes. Rental property ownership comes with additional rules, deductions, and planning opportunities. Cost segregation may help rental property owners accelerate depreciation. Home improvements can increase your tax basis, which may matter when you sell. Mortgage interest can be part of an itemized deduction strategy. Energy-efficient upgrades may qualify for tax credits, which can be more powerful than deductions. Inherited homes and trusts can create tax consequences that should be planned carefully. Good recordkeeping can save homeowners money. The best tax strategy usually begins before the project, purchase, sale, or filing deadline.

In this episode, HVAC veteran Adam Mufich of National Comfort Institute (NCI) pulls back the curtain on one of the industry's most overlooked problems: the majority of residential HVAC systems in the United States are not delivering the correct amount of airflow. Drawing on decades of hands-on experience, Adam opens up about his own journey from confident installer to humbled diagnostician, sharing the moment he started measuring his systems and realized how much he had been getting wrong. His candor and expertise make this a must-listen for any HVAC professional serious about doing better work. Adam walks listeners through a sobering picture painted by a Department of Energy study covering 44 research projects across the country. The data reveals that between 50 and 93 percent of systems tested moved less than the minimum 350 CFM per ton of capacity, and between 67 and 100 percent of systems leaked more than 100 CFM to the outside. Equipment oversizing is rampant, with some studies showing that up to 93 percent of systems exceed what Manual J calculations would call for. The ripple effects are enormous: compressor failures, blown blower motors, cracked heat exchangers, wasted energy, and homeowners who are simply not comfortable in their own homes. Adam argues that the single most powerful fix is also the most underused one — properly sizing the equipment in the first place. The bulk of the episode dives into two distinct approaches NCI teaches for addressing these problems. The first is the Air Upgrade, a targeted set of repairs focused near the equipment to reduce static pressure and increase fan airflow. This includes reworking the filter system (a commonly undersized 16x25x1 filter can triple the allowed pressure budget on its own), improving duct fittings with lower equivalent lengths, cleaning evaporator coils and blower wheels, adjusting fan speed, and sealing duct joints. The second approach is full Duct Optimization, a more comprehensive renovation that addresses the entire duct system, incorporates Manual D calculations, installs balancing dampers, improves insulation, and uses tools like flow hoods and MeasureQuick to verify that every room in the house is receiving the correct airflow and BTUs. Adam also spends time on the practical and human side of this work — how to talk to homeowners, how to prioritize what matters to them, and how to overcome the very real obstacles that keep technicians from doing thorough airflow work. He addresses everything from fear of opening walls (his solution: build relationships with drywall contractors and offer turnkey repairs) to the simple but powerful mindset shift of treating airflow as something to be measured, not felt with your hand. His closing message is clear: the tools and methods exist, the training is available, and virtually every house in the country has a problem worth solving. The only thing standing in the way is the willingness to do it right. Topics Covered The current state of the HVAC industry based on a DOE meta-analysis of 44 studies Why equipment oversizing is the number one contributor to airflow problems and how to address it How a 50 percent oversized AC system can increase energy consumption by up to 91 percent (per the ASME Journal of Sustainable Buildings) Tools for proper load calculations, including Ample Energy and Conduit apps Why most systems are not moving enough airflow and what the consequences are (heat exchanger failures, compressor failures, comfort complaints) Duct leakage to the outside and its effects on comfort, indoor air quality, and building pressurization The four pillars of NCI's approach: safe, healthy, comfortable, and efficient systems The Air Upgrade approach: targeted repairs near the equipment to reduce static pressure and increase fan airflow The Duct Optimization approach: full duct system renovation with balanced airflow to every room Static pressure profiling: taking four measurements (before/after filter and before/after coil) to pinpoint restrictions Static pressure budgets and how to use them to identify which part of a system is the biggest problem Fan Law 2 as a planning tool to predict system performance before making changes The TrueFlow Grid and its forecasting feature for planning equipment changes Filter sizing and its massive impact on total external static pressure Duct fitting equivalent lengths and how to reduce resistance near the equipment Sealing duct joints and why it adds static pressure that must be planned for The importance of rechecking and adjusting refrigerant charge after any airflow improvement Air balancing with a flow hood to verify delivered CFM at every register Measuring delivered BTUs using tools like MeasureQuick, JobLink, and NCI's ComfortMax workflow Overcoming obstacles: technician buy-in, access to ducts in walls, attic space limitations, and homeowner hesitation Building relationships with drywall contractors to offer turnkey duct repair solutions Why airflow is invisible and why measuring it is non-negotiable   To learn more about NCI and its training offerings, visit https://www.nationalcomfortinstitute.com/.
