Human remains delivered to 2 Canada schools

MONTREAL (AP) ? Packages containing a human foot and hand were discovered at two schools in Vancouver on Tuesday, in what could be the latest gruesome twist in the case of a Canadian porn actor suspected of dismembering and eating his former lover.

Police said they could not immediately confirm if the body parts in question were the missing extremities of Chinese student Jun Lin, whose hand and foot were discovered last week when they were mailed to Canada's top political parties.

The suspect, Luka Rocco Magnotta, 29, was caught Monday at a cafe in Berlin, after evading police for days while he partied in Paris. He told German authorities he would not fight extradition to Canada.

Vancouver Deputy Police Chief Warren Lemcke said a package containing what appeared to be a human hand was opened by staff at False Creek Elementary School after 1 p.m. Tuesday. Another package containing what appeared to be a human foot was found by staff at St. George's private school for boys later in the day.

The British Columbia Coroner's Service and the Vancouver police's major crime investigators have been called in.

"There is no indication any student or staff has been targeted at any school," Lemcke said. "This must have been a very traumatic incident for all involved in the schools involved in opening the packages and the Vancouver Police Department will assist any way we can with our victims services section."

Zheng Xu, a press spokesman at the Chinese consulate in Montreal, said four of Lin's family members, including his parents, arrived in Montreal on Tuesday night. He said they will meet with Montreal police. He also said they will meet with the media at an opportune time.

Video footage of what authorities believe to be the killing seems to show the suspect eating the body, said police in Montreal, where the death occurred.

Montreal Police Cmdr. Ian Lafreniere said that although police have not been able to conclusively confirm it, they suspect Magnotta ate parts of the victim's body.

"As gross and as graphic as it could be, yes, it was seen on the video," Lafreniere said.

Authorities allege Magnotta filmed the slaying in his Montreal studio apartment and posted it online.

A copy of what police believe is the video of the killing, viewed online by AP, shows a man with an ice pick stabbing another naked, bound male. He also dismembers the corpse and performs sexual acts with it.

It did not show anyone eating the body but did show a man using a fork and knife on it. Police suggested Tuesday that they have access to more extensive video of the killing, possibly an unedited version.

"We're keeping some details for ourselves," Lafreniere said.

Shortly after the killing, authorities say, Magnotta flew from Montreal to Paris.

Scores of French police hunting for him were inundated with hundreds of tips and alleged sightings of the suspect, whose photo was splashed in newspaper papers, TV screens and websites worldwide, thanks to an Interpol alert. The suspect monitored news reports about what police knew and took steps to evade authorities.

Witnesses contacted French police with claims of having seen Magnotta partying in the Bastille area of east Paris, said Christophe Crepin, a police union official who shared details about the manhunt in a phone interview with The Associated Press. One tipster said Magnotta drank a late-night Coca-Cola at a bar in the northwestern Batignolles quarter, which police collected for fingerprints. Pornography magazines and an air-sickness bag from the plane he had taken from Montreal to Paris were found in a dingy hotel room where he stayed in Bagnolet, northeast of Paris.

"He needed to be seen, and to party," said Crepin, who relayed information he received from agents in the judicial police unit that tracks fugitives. "Naturally some of the people who saw him broke out into a cold sweat when they recognized him."

Magnotta's refusal to stay low eventually got him caught. He was arrested while reading about himself at an Internet cafe in Berlin after an employee recognized him from a newspaper photo and flagged down a police car.

Magnotta appeared before a German judge in the afternoon and was ordered held pending extradition, police spokesman Thomas Neuendorf said. He was then transferred to a Berlin prison from a police detention center.

He will have to go before a German court for an extradition hearing once Canada formally requests that he be returned for trial, Neuendorf said.

"I assume there will be no problems," he said. "According to his statements to prosecutors he will not fight his extradition."

That means Magnotta could be returned to Canada as early as this week, according to authorities. The Canadian Embassy in Berlin declined to comment on when Ottawa may file the official papers seeking extradition.

Cmdr. Denis Mainville, the head investigator of the Montreal police major crimes unit, said investigators will review hundreds of homicide cases over the last 30 years in Montreal and throughout Quebec for any possible links to Magnotta. Mainville said such a review is routine in such cases.

Magnotta arrived in Berlin on Saturday on a bus from Paris, said Martin Steltner, a spokesman for Berlin prosecutors.

Crepin said Magnotta had contacts in Paris from a previous visit in 2010.

"He didn't come to Paris by chance. He knew he could get along in Paris, he knew people," he said. Police, for example, trailed a large-framed man who had been in contact with Magnotta, he said. Police questioned another man with whom Magnotta spent two nights. The man didn't immediately realize who his companion was, Crepin said.

At times, French investigators grew frustrated with leaks in the media ? notably a French TV report indicating police had used technology to track Magnotta's mobile phone. As a result, Magnotta turned it off, Crepin said.

"He had closely monitored what we police were doing to concoct his strategy," he said.

Crepin said surveillance camera footage showed Magnotta boarding a bus to Berlin on Friday evening. He said German officials were alerted that Magnotta might be in Berlin at some point before the arrest, but he did not specify when.

The case's full horror emerged on May 29 when a package containing the severed foot was opened at Canada's ruling Conservative Party headquarters and a hand was discovered at a postal facility, addressed to the Liberal Party of Canada. A torso, meanwhile, was found in a suitcase on a garbage dump in Montreal, outside Magnotta's apartment building.

As they unraveled his background, police discovered that Magnotta changed his name from Eric Clinton Newman in 2006 and that he was born in Scarborough, Ontario. He is also known as Vladimir Romanov. Police said he has 70 Facebook accounts under different names.

Montreal police on Tuesday said DNA tests have confirmed that the body parts mailed to the political parties were Lin's remains, and that they have footage of Magnotta mailing the two parcels that were sent to Ottawa.

In addition to the victim's torso, Mainville said investigators found more human body parts, including a left arm without a hand and a left leg missing its foot, in garbage bags left in the dump behind Magnotta's apartment building during the 18-hour processing of the crime scene that began after the suitcase was found on May 29.

"The head is still missing," Lafreniere said, hours before the parcels were discovered in Vancouver. "And one hand and one foot is still missing."

In Vancouver, Kurt Heinrich of the city's school board said no students saw the package at False Creek Elementary.

Larissa Warrington, the chair of the False Creek elementary parent advisory council, said students were in school at the time and police vans were present when she picked up her three kids.

"I came to pick up my children as I usually do and was told there was a suspicious package at the school," an emotional Warrington said.

"It is disturbing. It's awful. Why would anybody do that? It's very unsettling, as you can imagine, having children at this school."

At St. George's, Grade 7 student Devon Mussio said his mother told him the news.

"I thought she was lying and I was like, 'Whoa, that's disturbing,'" said Mussio, who was standing outside the school with his mother, Penny. "This guy's, like, a creep."

Tips United Electrical Services To Ease Your Home Improvement ...

Tips United Electrical Services To Ease Your Home Improvement Project

There is much to learn about home improvement and success can go along with this knowledge. There is plenty of information available, however, not everything you read will apply to your specific situation. This article will give some tips, in regard to home improvement.

Do not choose a contractor just because he is offering you much cheaper rates than everyone else. Sometimes that is a sign that he or she doubts the quality of their work and you should to. Always get a few estimates and make sure each of the these contractors gives you references.

As more and more people look for affordable ways to convey style and distinctionlightingompanies are stepping up to the plate with mid-range price points and smaller versions of their most elaborate pieces. A mini-chandelier in your bedroom or master bathroom is a tongue-in-cheek accent piece that is perfectly suited to a contemporary look and feel.

Open up the curtains and blinds during a showing to allow natural light into the home. If the outdoor scenery is not desirable, consider keeping the blinds somewhat closed to draw less attention to it. Turn on all of the lights in the home so the home looks bright and cheery instead of dark and dreary.

Building a dog house in ones backyard can provide a fun home improvement project for one to do with their family. It will also provide a place for the family dog to go when it is outside and wants to get some shade, get a drink or take a nap.

Take advantage of a small bathroom space by getting great deals on remodel materials. For example, your limited countertop and flooring needs translate to a higher likelihood of you finding both countertop and flooring remnants that will work at your local DIY, bathroom or carpet store. These remnants are still brand new but come at a steep discount thanks to their fixed dimensions.

If you are considering hanging wallpaper in your bathroom, laundry room, or kitchen, opt for wet-look vinyl. This type of wallpaper is able to withstand sprinkles, splashes, and splatters and is also ideal for use in homes in even the most humid climate. Be sure to clean and smooth the wall surface before hanging vinyl, however, as any imperfections may show through.

Everyone loves a nice bathroom. You can do this by getting a new sink or toilet and getting nice new cabinets. Updating your bathroom is one of the best ways to improve your home and it will also increase the net price on your house selling it on the market.

Thinking green about home improvements not only means being environmentally friendly, but it also means taking action on your lawn. If the lawn looks horrendous with bare spots and weeds, seed and fertilize it. If it is damaged beyond repair get a new sod laid to give your home a great new look.
Lighting
One of the best lighting improvements for children?s rooms, is adding in directional track lighting. This lighting can be adjusted to highlight artwork, different play areas or furniture. For an especially fun twist, replace one light with a brightly colored red, yellow, or blue light bulb. Track lighting is also timeless and makes the room more versatile, without appearing too childish.

If you are renovating a small room, consider making use of built-in mirrors. The reflection from a carefully-positioned mirror will make a small room seem considerably more spacious. A mirror near the window can add more natural light to a dim room. Avoid overusing mirrors or placing them opposite of each other, however, as this can create strange lighting effects.

Wiring

Few realize just how easy it is to install a new light fixture in homes that were built within the last ten years ago. Most overhead lights now include all the wires and screws needed; in most cases the only wiring required is to connect the circuit box of the new fixture to the wires in your ceiling. Look for everything-included kits, which are designed for the average homeowner and include useful resources to help you through the process.

Never, ever attempt to make repairs to your home?s wiring unless you know exactly what you?re doing. Things might look neat and clean, but you won?t be able to spot problems once everything is patched up. An electrical fire will demolish your home almost instantly, so consult the professionals if you don?t know what you?re doing.Electrical WiringAlmost all DIY projects are pretty easy and self-explanatory. Most people can paint a room, clean storm windows, and make minor repairs. Be careful not to overextend your actual DIY abilities in more complex areas. Unless you really know what you are doing, you are likely to have trouble (and encounter danger) with projects such as DIYelectrical wiringand DIY sewer line replacement. Call an expert!

Put fire extinguishers in several rooms of your home. Fire extinguishers are particularly important in the kitchen, but they would be a wise investment for practically every room.

Building wealth through real estate - Wilmington NC Homes

June 4, 2012

Now's a good time to start building wealth through real estate.

?If you've been thinking about buying a home or rental property, experts at bankrate.com say low prices combined with low interest rates make this a good time to do it. As one real-estate specialist puts it, "When money is cheap to borrow and houses are cheap to buy, it's absolutely the best time to invest."

?While the timing is right, these tips below can help you take advantage of what might be the opportunity of a lifetime, say Bankrate advisors.

? * Find a rental property in your area. Your BlueCoast Real Estate agent can help identify good properties and will work with you and share investment knowledge. If you have the time and inclination, you can search foreclosure listings, read the newspaper ads, walk or drive through neighborhoods, and seek recommendations and do a lot of reading.

??* Look for the right location. The right location is one based on your criteria and you doing your homework. The Properties in highly populated areas can draw from a larger pool of potential renters. Renters are generally looking for properties with multiple bedrooms and bathrooms that are located in low crime areas. They want to feel safe and send their kids to good schools. There are many tools on the web to help.

? * At MSN Money, they ask, "Why buy a rental?" Their answer: "To get richer." In today's market, you may be able to buy a property for $35,000 less than its actual value. Over time, you will realize most or all of that value.

? * In the meantime, you can generate a reliable cash flow from the property.

??* Because of depreciation and other deductions, you may not pay federal or state tax on the income.

? * Some prospective investors worry about the work involved in owning a rental house or duplex. You won't have to worry about it if you hire a property manager to do the job for you. You'll still have income. If you buy a three-bedroom, two-bath rental home for example: It rents for $1,200 a month. The mortgage payment, taxes and insurance is $980, and the property manager gets $120 a month. The investor still has income of $100 a month and in this case, if the home was bought for less than market value, you could actually have equity right from the start. When investing in property, that is the goal, equity and cash flow. Do your homework and contact a BlueCoast Agent today.

Dealing with anger and resentment ... - nursinghomecare.org ? home

It?s difficult not to feel occasional anger and resentment if you?re a primary caregiver who seems to be doing all the workcaring for your parents ? especially if other family members live nearby but are content to leave the details of such elderly care giving to you.

Or conversely, to be the caregiver of senior parents (determined solely by geographical location or because you?re ?the oldest?) who is trying to do the best you can, but who must constantly listen to advice or criticism offered by other family members who may or may not be willing to offer actual help.

How do you deal with complaints, second-guessing and demands from senior parent siblings who want to offer advice, but can?t (or won?t) offer to help financially, physically or emotionally to help care for your senior Mom and Dad?

????? Dealing with Siblings

Care giving, especially when an senior parent lives in your home, is a 24-an hour a day job. Many sons and daughters (mostly daughters) find themselves in the role of primary caretaker, whether they asked for the job or not. Often, this choice is delegated by unspoken agreement among other family members that you are ?best suited to provide care for Mom?. You might work part-time, or be a stay-at-home Mom or run a home-based business. In such cases, other family members may feel you don?t ?have a real job? so you have the time to care for your elderly parents. You may have been delegated to the role of primary caregiver because you live closest to Mom or Dad.

Disagreements about what should be done, what can be done and what has been done may crop up. Many caregivers must take on added financial responsibilities when caring for an elderly parent, (which Mom or Dad might not offer or be able to help pay for) and siblings often don?t realize or acknowledge that their sibling might need some extra help.

So how do you as a caregiver of elderly parents deal with the anger, frustration or resentment when it?s your life that?s suddenly been turned upside down, and you now have not only children, but also a husband and a job that needs your attention too? Care giving for elderly parents involves dozens of decisions, some that must be made immediately, and dealing with suggestions, complaints or second guessing from siblings is the last thing you need.

Get Everyone Involved

Whenever possible, try to keep all family members involved in the care giving process, even if they live far away and need to be updated by phone. Tell siblings and other family members what they can do to help. It doesn?t have to be physical help, but may involve a supportive phone call every week, an offer to help pay for a home care health aide, or help in making long-term decisions regarding senior medical care, legal issues, or finances.

Here are a few tips toward maintaining open communication with siblings:

* Update them frequently.

* If a sibling offers constant criticism but no help, gently but firmly explain that until he or she is willing to share in the responsibilities, you must continue doing the best you can with the tools you have.

* Let your siblings know what you are doing to provide elderly care ? tell them everything ? the nitty-gritty details that they probably aren?t even aware of.

* Be vocal in welcoming advice and help in your elderly parent?s care ? this can be financial, legal, or medical.

* Be clear in telling siblings exactly what you would like them to do, or what you need them to do for you.

* Always use ?I? and avoid accusations ? for example, instead of saying ?You never help,? say, ?I feel stressed or overwhelmed.?

* Be willing to compromise when you ask for someone's help.

Elder Care at Home ? Dealing with Guilt and Resentment

You feel resentful and angry that your freedom is gone. You work hard at your job, then rush home to take care of Dad, who?s suffering from mid-stage Alzheimer?s or a bedridden Mom who needs help with just about everything. It?s natural to feel anger and resentment over realizing that your life is no longer your own.

It?s also natural to feel guilty over such thoughts. We berate ourselves for being selfish, compassion less or self-centered. However, remember that this also is a natural process. Don?t beat yourself up over such thoughts.

Acknowledge them. Find someone to talk to about them ? close friends, a sibling, or your pastor. People will understand, so don?t judge yourself too harshly. Accept the fact that you?re human and not super-woman.

Find a local support group for caregivers of elderly parents where you can freely express your stress and frustrations and you won?t be criticized or judged for voicing such feelings. Finding an outlet for anger and resentment is the best way to face it down and overcome it.
