Title: Southern Africa Regional Director
Location: HQ
When did you start working for Heifer? January 2004
What attracted you to work for Heifer? I was attracted by the mission of Heifer. I wanted to be part of something and contribute to something that is bigger than me.
What has been the most memorable experience you have had while working for Heifer? The most memorable experience I had while working for Heifer was the time I met with a woman in Tanzania who once was a Heifer beneficiary and is now an investor, researcher and lecturer at Sokoini Agricultural University. She told me, "With the support of Heifer, I grew to my God-given potential. I really owe Heifer." She is regularly invited to the university to lecture. She keeps dairy cows and raises a variety of medicinal plants that she uses to treat external and internal parasites that infest her dairy cows.
My education includes: Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine from Addis Ababa University in Ethiopia; Post-Graduate Diploma in Planning and Administration from the University of Dortmund in Germany; Masters of Science in Planning from Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology in Ghana.
My hobbies include: beekeeping, gardening, reading.
My family consists of: Fantu (my wife), Solane (my daughter), and Bonsa (my son).
Something about me that you might not know: I did my first surgery at the age of 12, long before I went to vet school, after my chicken was attacked by a feral cat. The cat poked a hole in the chicken's chest and the chicken started to breathe through the hole instead of its mouth/beak. We had no vet service in the village, so I knew no help was coming. I watched the chicken suffer and wanted to do something about it. I told my dad what I wanted to do, and he supported me. So I loosened the skin from the unaffected area of the chicken's chest, pulled the skin together to cover the hole in its chest, and sutured the skin together. The tension on the skin not only covered the hole, but also brought the muscles together so they could heal. The chicken started to breathe through its mouth/beak immediately. I was so happy to see the progress. Within a few days, the wound healed and the chicken recovered completely. I was proud of the success. This experience may have been my motivation to become a vet.
What is the best thing about working at Heifer HQ? The best thing about working at Heifer is being a part of the great mission of ending world hunger and poverty, having an opportunity to contribute to it and seeing, actually witnessing, lives being transformed through Heifer's interventions.

National house prices have dipped in 19 of the 20 largest metro regions, and declines in house prices are expected to continue given the 1.9 million in backlogged foreclosures. As the American economy shifts from buying to renting, with the number of renting households rising by 700,000 annually -- according to a USA Today analysis of Census data -- the number of homeowners fell by nearly 200,000 per year. Unemployment rates remain high and wages are down, which makes it more difficult for people to buy a house and prompts them to rent.
A number of studies continue to show that renting is better than owning for many Americans, with a house being a poor investment compared to renting and investing in inflation-adjusted Treasury bonds. In the paper "American Dream or American Obsession?," Wenli Li and Fang Yang from the Philadelphia Federal Reserve Bank concluded that the "adjusted real rate of return on housing actually falls below zero," and the national rate of return for homeownership between 1975 and 2009 was 1.3 percent, below the 3.375 percent return for stocks.
Home ownership translates into less money available for investment and owning a house limits mobility should a new job opportunity arise elsewhere. Some economists have even suggested that high homeownership rates correlate to high unemployment rates. Declines in house prices could make it difficult to sell if the house is worth less than its mortgage. Not everyone should own a house, and the recession has helped eliminate some of the stigma once associated with renting, now that 70 percent of Americans now agree that renting has its advantages over owning.

Silly Rhymes For Belligerent Children book
MST3K and Geek-A-Week's lovechild
- Goofy, gross, and fun poetry for all ages
- Poems by Trace Beaulieu (MST3K)
- Illustrations by Len Peralta (Geek-a-Week)
Timmy Davis contracted rabies,
from his unclean rodent babies.
Sammy Smith got a grim prognosis,
when his hamster gave him yersinosis.
Jeffy Conner, poor young fella,
an iguana gave him salmonella.
Tiffy's hamster had a germ,
now Tiffy has a new tape worm.
To Marky Spaniel it wasn't funny,
when he got tularemia from his Easter bunny.
A rare microbial infection,
came from Ian's fish collection.
Don't worry if your pet might bite, just check it well for parasites.
We know what kids like. They like gross, silly, wacky things. (And so do we, since we never grew up!) Trace Beaulieu (of Mystery Science Theater 3000) wrote gross, silly wacky poems in the same vein as Shel Silverstein and Edward Gorey and paired them with artwork by Len Peralta (of Geek-a-Week). As the cover says, it's "a yucky big book of rainy day fun for belligerent children & odd adults with nothing better to do." That you? It's certainly us!

munchies jalapeno cheese crackers No one plans on having a medical emergency.
minecraft hacked client mac 1.2.5 Just ask Elaine Walters-Case, who was two months from her wedding day when she got a life-changing call. At the age of 37, Elaine found out she had breast cancer. Her doctors wanted her to begin treatment immediately, but she asked to wait. "Much to the chagrin of my oncologist, we postponed chemotherapy because I wanted to have hair at my wedding," she says.
google play store cracked android Elaine had the wedding of her dreams, then began a more than 10-year journey with cancer. What started in her breast spread throughout her body. Recently, she created an advance directive, also called a living will.
elfbot ng 8.60 con crack An advance directive outlines a plan for medical care. It tells your doctor and your family what medical decisions to make on your behalf, if you are unable to speak for yourself.
fractalius filter serial keygen Elaine says no morbid thoughts came with her decision. "For some reason, people think this kind of planning might hasten their passing, but I never thought of it in those terms." She adds, "It's a nice weight off your shoulders to just sit down and get it done."
pdplayer x64 crack Elaine's husband also has an advance directive, even though he's not facing a terminal disease. "It's much less scary to do it when you're healthy than when you're having a health crisis, when everyone's in a panic," says Elaine.
stardock fences pro crack free download Saundra Buys, MD, a medical oncologist at Huntsman Cancer Institute, compares advance directives to fire insurance for your home. "You're probably not going to need it," she says. "But if you need it and don't have it that can be a big deal." Dr. Buys points out that speaking to loved ones about your medical wishes can strengthen your relationship by opening important discussions with people you care about.

I. Functional Characterization of the Stem Cell Niche (NIH R01 DK082481)
Although a population of bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) has been referred to as mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), it is clear that this population is heterogeneous and likely contains several cell types including few, poorly discernible stem cells. However, our group is now able to prospectively identify FACs sorted MSCs and demonstrate their stem cell activity in vivo prior to any cell culture in vitro. Our experiments are designed to understand the nature of these MSCs and how their microenvironment, including interactions with hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), influences their biologic activity. The overall hypothesis is that we have identified a true mesenchymal stem cell within the bone marrow and the activity of this stem cell - including interactions with hematopoietic stem cells - is dependent on its niche compartment.
We have identified a partially purified mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) population that maintains its multi-lineage potential both in vivo and in vitro. Most importantly, we demonstrated that as few as 500 purified cells can develop bone in vivo without prior cell expansion in culture. This prospective isolation process sets us apart from others in the mesenchymal biology field and will allow us to understand the crucial differences in stem cell properties between cell culture and in vivo environments. In this project we will study the biology and in vivo function of this population and compare its activity to the frequently studied and more heterogeneous bone marrow stromal cell population.
The overall hypothesis behind our proposed projects is that a true mesenchymal stem cell exists within the bone marrow and the activity of this stem cell - including interactions with hematopoietic stem cells - is dependent on its niche compartment.
To this end, we propose the three aims listed below. Each aim offers the opportunity to generate new tools that will revolutionize the ability to discover and model the environmental factors that mediate cell function in complex in vivo systems such as the bone/bone marrow.
Aim 1. To identify and characterize cells within the bone marrow stroma that exhibit mesenchymal stem cell activity. We intend to answer the following compelling questions: 1) Do these purified cells function as stem cells in vivo? 2) What is the capacity of these purified cells to function in their native in vivo micro-environment? and 3) How do MSCs respond to physiologic stimuli?
Aim 2. To identify the MSC niche and determine if the MSC pool and its niche change under physiologic conditions (Mapping and defining the niche). We will address the following experimental questions 1) Where in the marrow does the MSC reside? 2) Does MSC numbers change in response to physiologic and or pathologic stimuli including a single dose of 5-FU, a single acute bleed and anabolic PTH treatments. 3) Does perturbations of the marrow alters/regulates the MSC phenotype.
Aim 3. To determine the functional relationship between HSCs and MSCs (Studying the cross – talk between HSCs and MSCs). 1) Do MSCs and HSCs co-localize to the same niche? 2) Do HSCs (isolated via the SLAM family markers) regulate MSC (very small, Sca-1+lin-CD45-) fate using the most highly purified cells available.
II. Engineering Multi-Tissue Interfaces (NIH R01 DE018890)
When congenital anomalies, traumatic injuries or inflammatory and degenerative diseases involve an articulating joint such as the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), the effects are often physically, financially and emotionally debilitating. Unfortunately, despite decades of targeted clinical and basic science research, well established methods to repair or regenerate such joints remain elusive, resulting in a significant unmet clinical need. Although the last two decades have seen a greater emphasis on the scientific underpinnings of tissue engineering, current reductionist approaches give a fragmented view of the future by investigating the regeneration of single tissues or materials. This limitation is troublesome because cells and tissues do not function independently in the context of living organisms. To address this problem, we have aligned a multidisciplinary team to investigate one of the next frontiers in tissue engineering, that is, the development of multi-tissue interfaces.
The long-term objective of this proposal is to develop strategies to regenerate multi-tissue interfaces with a focus on the bone-cartilage interface. While our experimental models will concentrate on the osteo-chondral interface found in articulating joints, the principles developed here may subsequently be applied to the regeneration of many other tissue interfaces. We propose a hypothesis and design-driven, integrative tissue engineering project based on rapid fabrication of bioengineered scaffolds, with custom-tailored surface chemistry, that control the spatial and temporal release of bioactive factors to regenerate the bone and cartilage interface. The controlled generation of this interface will be directed via an in vivo regenerative gene therapy approach. The central hypothesis is that delivery of bioactive signaling factors (BMP-2 and Sox9) to distinct regions of designed scaffolds can control the lineage commitment of responsive cells to develop a bone/cartilage interface.
Aim 1. To custom-tailor the surface chemistry of biomaterials with precisely designed biological signaling properties.
Hypothesis: Viruses immobilized by bioconjugation on scaffold surfaces can spatially control cell transduction in discrete regions of designed biomaterial scaffolds.
Experimental approach: Poly ε-caprolactone (PCL) surfaces will be modified by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) to establish surface coatings with a variety of polymer properties and conjugation chemistries. We will prepare polymer carriers to control binding of two or more cell-signaling factors in defined loading ratios. For this reason, co-polymers will be developed and protocols for bioconjugation of two or more different adenoviruses will be tailored to achieve cell transduction directly from the biomaterial surface. Three different immobilization models will be developed in this specific aim to gain maximal control of viral release through a dynamic equilibrium of biotin/avidin and biomaterial interactions.
Aim 2. To immobilize two different viruses on a single scaffold to control delivery of specific biological signaling factors and to understand how these signals control the development of a biological interface.
Hypothesis: Modifying the surface chemistry of designed biomaterials will allow multiple viral vectors encoding biological signals to direct and precisely control a biological interface.
Experimental approach: Material surfaces will be modified to control the delivery of multiple adenoviruses. Discrete regions of functionalized scaffolds will be physically or photochemically masked to create defined regions for virus immobilization and the generation of a cell-signaling interface. Two-way CVD will also be used to generate signaling gradients to mimic natural developmental signaling patterns at an interface.
Aim 3. To develop a bone-cartilage interface by directing the lineage progression of responsive cells to bone and cartilage using in vivo regenerative gene transfer strategies on designed biomaterial scaffolds.
Hypothesis: The delivery of bioactive signaling factors to distinct regions of a designed scaffold can control the lineage commitment of responsive cells to either bone or cartilage and generate a functional tissue interface in 3-dimentional scaffolds.
Experimental approach: Tissue interfaces will be generated on biomaterial scaffolds in vivo. The precision of interface development will be studied by delivering BMP-2 on one region of a scaffold and antagonists such as noggin or dominant negative BMP receptors on the adjacent surfaces. The development of bone/cartilage interfaces will be studied in vivo by the controlled delivery of BMP-2 (bone) and Sox-9 (cartilage).
III. Osteoblast Lineage Progression from Human Embryonic Stem Cells (NIH R01 DE 016530)
Current practices to maintain induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS) and human embryonic stem cells (hES) in an undifferentiated state typically require the support of mouse embryonic feeder cells (MEFs) or an undefined extracellular matrix such as Matrigel™. These culture conditions that depend on animal contaminants, severely limit our ability to interpret mechanistic studies designed to resolve how human pluripotent stem cells interact with their extracellular environment to: 1) remain in a unique undifferentiated state and 2) make fate-changing lineage decisions. Likewise, the xenogeneic components of MEFs and Matrigel™will ultimately hinder our ability to use these stem cells to treat debilitating human diseases.
We have overcome these obstacles by developing a synthetic matrix system that supports iPS (and hES) cell expansion and self renewal within completely defined culture conditions that are free from xenogeneic contamination(Nature Biotechnology (1), Nature Protocols (2)).The establishment of this synthetic matrix now allows us to probe the molecular basis of pluripotent stem cell self-renewal and differentiation, and will pave the way for clinical applications. Compared to genetically and immunologically incompatible animal-derived matrices, this polymer (PMEDSAH, "poly-med-sah"), has the advantages of being: 1) synthetic, 2) defined, 3) reproducible, 4) capable ofsynthetic modification to take on new properties, 5) resistant to degradation, and 6) unlike recombinant protein-based matrices, can be subjected to long-term storage and sterilization.
Most research groups use biological components such as RGD peptides or natural sugars to mediate the interaction between cells and substrates. Our innovation is the development of synthetic components that function as the primary structural motifs in stem cell-to-substrate interactions. This biomimetic approach provides a material that has both physical and chemical properties that can be readily modified to permit us to understand, and perhaps control, how synthetic extracellular biomimetics modulate important biologic activities such as self-renewal and pluripotency. This cannot be accomplished using currently available approaches and our interdisciplinary group is uniquely positioned to take on this important scientific problem (Dr. Lahann - Chemical Engineering, and Dr. Krebsbach - Stem Cell Biology). Our long-term goal is to define the molecular mechanisms that allow iPS cell self-renewal on PMEDSAH and the controlled differentiation of these cells towards a mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) phenotype. Accomplishing these goals is an important prerequisite to the development of therapeutic protocols using pluripotent stem cells to regenerate human tissues. Our goals and hypotheses will be tested by performing experiments described in the following Aims.
Aim 1. Define the structural and/or physico-chemical properties of PMEDSAH that lead to iPS cell self-renewal and maintenance of the undifferentiated state
Hypothesis: The physical and chemical properties of PMEDSAH facilitate iPS cell self-renewal and maintenance of the undifferentiated state.
Experimental Approach: Structure/function analysis will be performed with the highly manipulatable PMEDSAH substrate and pluripotent iPS cells using the following experimental perturbations: 1) modify material stiffness, charge density and contact angle by controlling polymer thickness, 2) modify polymer structure and chemistry (linkage between polymer backbone and side chain, distance and molecular position of the zwitterionic groups) and the type of anionic end groups (sulfonate vs. phosphonate groups). iPS cell adhesion, proliferation and self-renewal will be assayed on the modified surfaces.
Aim 2. Determine the cell receptor mechanisms that direct adhesion and maintain iPS cells in an undifferentiated state on synthetic polymer substrates
Hypothesis: Pluripotent iPS cells use more than one cell adhesion system to adhere to and support self-renewal on a defined, synthetic polymer substrate.
Experimental Approach: While Aim #1 focuses on the physico-chemical properties of the substrate, Aim #2 takes the converse approach and is designed to define the properties of the cell surface as iPS cells interact with PMEDSAH. Our objective is to use our novel synthetic polymers as a tool to understand the molecular basis of adhesion and self-renewal of iPS cells using three experimental strategies: 1) cell adhesion to solid phase substrates via integrins, 2) an alternative mechanism of cell adhesion using heparin/heparan sulfate (HS) and heparin sulfate proteoglycan (HSPG) binding, and 3) a proteomics approach using metabolically-labeled subcellular fractions to determine the extent to which other cell adhesion systems are used to support self-renewal of iPS cells on PMEDSAH.
Aim 3. Determine the extent to which iPS cells maintained on PMEDSAH are capable of subsequent lineage-specific differentiation and regeneration of clinically relevant craniofacial skeletal defects
Hypothesis: Patient-specific iPS cells can be derived on fully defined and xeno-free PMEDSAH and be reproducibly differentiated into mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) to regenerate skeletal defects.
Experimental Approach: Patient-specific iPS cells will be generated from somatic cells. We will 1) generate three patient-specific iPS cell lines on PMEDSAH, 2) direct iPS cell differentiation to MSCs in vitro while also demonstrating the loss of iPS cell phenotype and function, and 3) determine the extent to which iPS-derived MSCs regenerate bone in clinically relevant craniofacial skeletal defects.

Diamond Jaxx continue mastery over youthful Geiger squad
For the eighth time in this young Legion season, Leavenworth's two area squads — Geiger Ready-Mix and LV Diamond Jaxx — clashed at Sportsfield.
And for the eighth straight time, the Jaxx came away with a victory.
On Wednesday, starting pitcher Michael Johnson paced the Jaxx to a 7-1 win over its area rival.
"Having played nine games in five days, we were definitely short on pitching," Jaxx coach Zak Knapp said. "So to have Michael come out and do what he did today was big."
Johnson tossed a complete game, wherein he allowed just one run, to snag the decision. For Geiger, Caleb Cribb suffered the pitching loss.
"He has two different types of fastballs and a really weird curveball that people aren't used to," Knapp said of Johnson. "He is just a different type of pitcher than the others we have and tonight he was awesome."
Offensively, the Jaxx posted runs in every inning save for the second frame. Judson Cole got on three times and scored each time while James Gladieux crossed home plate twice. Geiger received its lone run in the fifth.

University of Delaware Cooperative Extension kicked off a Centennial Celebration at it annual conference held at Rehoboth Beach on Tuesday, Oct. 29.
At the celebration, UD Cooperative Extension recognized four Director's Friend of Extension Award recipients as well as the recipients of the 2013 Director's Leadership Award.
The following were the recipients of the Director's Friend of Extension Awards:
Nancy A. Cotugna
Nancy A. Cotugna is a professor of behavioral health and nutrition at UD and in 2004-05 she spent her sabbatical with UD Cooperative Extension researching where other states obtained matching funds for the Food Stamp Nutrition Education program (SNAP Ed) and identifying potential sources of funding in Delaware.
Her graduate students have also conducted research to further Extension programming efforts.
Michelle Rodgers, associate dean for Cooperative Extension in the University's College of Agriculture and Natural Resources, said Cotugna has been "extremely helpful in assisting with the University of Delaware's Cooperative Extension nutrition education programs. When the nutrition department had a coordinated dietetic internship program, Dr. Cotugna was instrumental in placing dietetic interns with Extension. Additionally, she assigns one to three community nutrition students each semester with various staff members to volunteer for Extension."

Fifer Orchards, a fourth generation family farm that features a farm and a country store in Camden-Wyoming and a local fresh market in Dewey Beach, was presented with the award thanks to its support of 4-H and Cooperative Extension over the years.
4-H youth have been given the opportunity to gain educational knowledge and value from various operation tours provided by Fifer Orchards staff. These youth have been able to develop and showcase their presentation skills as well as their culinary skills through the Front Porch Demonstration program.
Through the program, members of 4-H prepare recipes using fruits and vegetables in harvest and showcase them on the front porch of Fifer Orchards. They also have been allowed to share their knowledge and skills with others through the Animal Showcase program.
Fifer Orchards has also been a donor of funds and products to various 4-H events, including the peach ice cream donation booth at the Middletown Peach Festival that provides $1,100 annually to support the county program.
Fifer Orchards has also allowed Extension to host tours at its site and has provided speakers for various Extension events, all in an effort to promote agriculture and to share knowledge and information with their clientele as well as to the clientele of Cooperative Extension.
Fifer Orchards has been instrumental in providing land and labor to do various vegetable trials. In addition, Fifer family members participate on various Extension committees and boards.
Delaware State Housing Authority
The Delaware State Housing Authority (DSHA) is a low-income public housing community with 10 locations throughout Kent and Sussex counties. UD and DSHA have collaborated to provide 4-H Afterschool Programs to youth at seven of those locations.
For the past twenty years, 4-H and DSHA have operated a site at Hickory Tree in Selbyville and the success of that program has convinced the state agency to partner with 4-H to reach all their eligible children.
DSHA provides the community rooms, computer labs at some locations, recreational space, heat/air conditioning, maintenance of facility, water, and monthly pest control at each location at no cost to UD.
The housing manager and social worker at each location assist in identifying children to attend the afterschool programs and serve on the afterschool advisory board.
David Marvel
David Marvel is a grain and vegetable farmer focused on fresh and processing vegetable production. He is the past president and current vice president of the Fruit and Vegetable Growers Association of Delaware (FVGAD).
As an officer and member he continues to serve on a number of boards and committees that connect the issue of healthy living and family farming. Under his leadership, the FVGAD started the first farm to school program in Delaware and continues to lead the way in getting farm fresh food into rural public schools in the state.

Journey Gets More Platinum Records After Streaming Rules Change
The RIAA's ongoing quest to most accurately determine just how much music we're consuming has reached another milestone, with the much-maligned trade association taking the controversial step of incorporating streaming data into its sales certifications.
The change in methodology has had an immediate effect on a wide variety of artists, including Journey (whose 'Don't Stop Believin'' has been certified quintuple platinum as a result) and Kansas (whose 'Dust in the Wind' is now a platinum record). It marks the most drastic expansion of sales data since the Nielsen SoundScan system was implemented in 1991.
Saying that the change "reflects the wide spectrum of ways consumers enjoy music from their favorite bands," RIAA chairman Cary Sherman announced the news in a press release, explaining, "The music business, along with its incredible array of digital service partners, is offering fans more access to music than ever before. We're thrilled that our awards will now more fully recognize artists' commercial success today."
The new data will be pulled not only from paid or "freemium" audio services like Pandora and Spotify but also from video sites like Vevo and YouTube.
But as any recording artist who's taken a hard look at his royalty statements could tell you, a stream doesn't count for as much as a download or a physical sale, and it's no different for certifications. In fact, an artist has to accrue 100 streams to count for a single sale. Still, the next time you click on a link from a co-worker or a relative, you could end up helping someone earn a platinum record.

Minority and Non-Traditional Law Students / Clearly I'm delusional, but I thought 166 wasn't too bad?« on: August 01, 2009, 07:52:26 PM »
I'm reading all of these posts where people are debating whether or not to retake the LSAT and have 160+ scores, which I thought was pretty good. I wasn't thrilled with my score, since I had consistently tested in practice between 168-171, but I didn't think it was worth throwing in the towel or delaying my app until I could retake. Any insights? Please, save the snickering at me for even thinking this is a good idea. But any input would be appreciated...I'm starting to feel a bit sick at the thought of the adcom finding my application to be comic relief!

Diagraming sentences, it's fair to say, lacks the magic to stir men's blood.
A documentary about diagraming sentences? Well, that's a horse of a different color.
Minnesota couple David and Elizabeth O'Brien have big love and big plans for the grammatical device, which has fallen out of pedagogical favor over the past couple of decades.
"We're huge fans of diagraming," says David O'Brien. "It's the mathematics of language."
The O'Briens, both former teachers, noticed a general inability to grasp grammar basics among their students. They started chatting up other teachers, as well as linguists and academics and authors. They even tracked down veteran copy editor Kitty Burns Florey, author of 2007's "Sister Bernadette's Barking Dog: The Quirky History and Lost Art of Diagraming Sentences" (Harvest Books).
The consensus was that their students' stumbles were part of a larger trend—and not a happy one. A move away from sentence diagraming, they discovered, coincided with a larger shift away from teaching other language nuts and bolts.
"We're not really teaching grammar any more," says O'Brien. "There's sort of a now-and-then, haphazard smattering of lessons that just leaves everyone confused and really frustrated with the subject."
Inspired by their conversations and determined to change the course of events, the couple set out in early January to raise $22,000 for a "Grammar Revolution" documentary, using Kickstarter, a funding platform for creative endeavors. Their deadline is Thursday.
As of Tuesday, they had raised $23,209.
"The film's mood will be positive, and its theme will be simultaneously simple and eye-opening," the O'Briens write on their funding website (kickstarter.com/projects/grammarrevolution/grammar-revolution). "We'll explain why grammar is no longer taught in most schools. We'll show that understanding grammar is important and that learning it can be easy. Along the way, we'll also correct misconceptions and address the difficult questions at the heart of today's grammar debates."
David O'Brien imagines the documentary to be a celebration of language as much as a call to action. And who does he imagine watching it?
"I think it could be very popular with a general audience," he says. "We haven't pursued professional distribution, but depending how things go, we might pursue that. We've thought about trying to get it into some film festivals."
It's hard to imagine, he argues, a more universal topic.
"Language brings up all sorts of fascinating issues and questions that are part of everyone's life," he says. "It's quirky and subjective and borderline political and it's really easy to be self-conscious about. It's inherently interesting."
All good reasons to think big, we say. Consider, after all, a beloved quote from Chicago architect and city planner Daniel Burnham:
"Make no little plans; they have no magic to stir men's blood and probably will themselves not be realized. Make big plans; aim high in hope and work, remembering that a noble, logical diagram once recorded will not die."
Particularly a noble, logical sentence diagram.

Hisilicon, an affiliate of Huawei, has been developing application processors for many years. The company's early products had issues that caused resulted in poor power consumption-performance ratio. But Huawei's strategic support and continuous R&D resource investments have helped improve Hisilicon's products.
After releasing its first in-house-developed baseband-integrated AP, the Kirin 910 in 2013, Hisilicon has released the Kirin 920, the first SoC AP in the industry that supports the LTE Cat.6 standard, in 2014. With Cortex-A15 and Cortex-A7's big.LITTLE core combination, the AP's computing performance is rather strong, while its independent low-power-consumption core is able to monitor the working process while the system is in hibernation. The high quality audio processing unit is also a major feature of the AP.
Digitimes Research believes the Kirin 920 will have a product lifecycle of about one year. Since Huawei is estimated to have over 20% of its shipments adopt in-house developed architectures in 2014, the Kirin 920's shipments are expected to reach 12 million units by mid-2015.
Considering the R&D investment (almost US$200 million), as well as the production costs and expenses, the Kirin 920 is estimated to cost around US$20-25.
Since purchasing high-end solutions from Qualcomm costs over US$40, Huawei will be able to enjoy extra profits from its high-end product lines compared to its competitors which are still acquiring high-end APs from the US-based vendor. The new business model will give Huawei strong advantages in controlling overall costs, Digitimes Research believes.

Assemblyman John Ceretto said he is pleased with the $1.75 million in grant money given by the Western New York Power Proceeds Allocation Board to fund the expansion of the Aquarium of Niagara. This expansion, he said, is critical to creating a world-class tourist attraction in Niagara Falls that can compete with other well-known aquariums. Expanding the Aquarium of Niagara is a part of Ceretto's vision for the economic revitalization of Niagara Falls.
"This $1.75 million in Power Proceeds funding for the Aquarium of Niagara is a cornerstone for the economic revitalization of Niagara Falls. I fought for the Power Proceeds legislation to keep this money local so that economic development projects like this could get the funding they need," Ceretto said. "We are taking important steps to make our vision of Niagara Falls a reality. I envision a Niagara Falls that residents will be proud to call their home, and that tourists will be lining up to come visit. There is more to be done, but we are moving in the right direction."
The Western New York Power Proceeds Allocation Board was established as a result of the Western New York Power Proceeds Allocation Act, which required the New York Power Authority to create the Western New York Economic Development Fund. Ceretto fought for and voted in favor of this legislation because it commits New York Power Authority revenues generated locally to local economic development projects. Ceretto also helped to expand the footprint of the USA Niagara Development Corp. to include the Aquarium of Niagara, which helped make this grant possible.

The federal jury in the Apple vs Samsung trial fell firmly on Apple's side Friday, ruling many of Apple's patents were valid and Samsung was guilty of "willful" violation of a number of them when creating its own mobile products.
The jury also ordered Samsung to pay Apple $1.05 billion. Apple wanted $2.5 billion as it accused Samsung of ripping off the design technology.
"This is a huge win for Apple," Stanford law professor Mark Lemley told CNN. "$1,051,855,000 is just large enough to make it the largest surviving patent verdict in history."
Jurors found that several of Samsung's products illegally used Apple creations like the "bounce-back" feature and the ability to zoom text with a finger tap.
One of the few things that went in Samsung's favor was that the jury found Samsung's tablets violated fewer intellectual properties than its mobile devices.
Apple spokeswoman Katie Cotton thanked the jury for their service. "The mountain of evidence presented during the trail showed that Samsung's copying went far deeper than even we knew. The lawsuits between Apple and Samsung were about much more than patents or money. They were about values. At Apple, we value originality and innovation and pour our lives into making the best products on earth. We make these products to delight our customers, not for our competitors to flagrantly copy. We applaud the court for finding Samsung's behavior willful and for sending a loud and clear message that stealing isn't right," Cotton said in a statement.
Samsung is clearly thinking about appealing the verdict saying in a statement:
Today's verdict should not be viewed as a win for Apple, but as a loss for the American consumer. It will lead to fewer choices, less innovation, and potentially higher prices. It is unfortunate that patent law can be manipulated to give one company a monopoly over rectangles with rounded corners, or technology that is being improved every day by Samsung and other companies. Consumers have the right to choices, and they know what they are buying when they purchase Samsung products. This is not the final word in this case or in battles being waged in courts and tribunals around the world, some of which have already rejected many of Apple's claims. Samsung will continue to innovate and offer choices for the consumer.
Jurors were provided dozens of mobile devices to examine, including the iPhone -- the heart of the case.
Judge Lucy Koh gave the jury 109 pages of instructions on Tuesday. The verdict form was 20 pages of questions to be answered -- each question had subsections, too, leading to a total of more than 700 pages to answer.
A swift verdict was unexpected.
While the legal and technological issues of the case were complex, patent expert Alexander I. Poltorak told AP ahead of the verdict said the case would likely boil down to whether jurors believe Samsung's products look and feel almost identical to Apple's iPhone and iPad.
The courtroom has been anything but dull (except for the monotony of the patents themselves). Judge Koh has been chiding both sides of the argument, and there was even a threat of sanctions against Samsung.
[Click here for a few ironic and sarcastic exchanges between the judge, the jury and lawyers.]
Apple alleged that Samsung was trying to show excluded evidence to the jury. Koh denied Apple's emergency filing, however.
In some cases, Apple maintained during the trial, Samsung revised old patents in an attempt to make money. Standards rules generally require participating companies to warn the standards body if the ideas under consideration contain patents that would benefit a company unfairly.
Google, who has sued Apple in its own infringement claim, has been aiding its Android partner, Samsung, during the trial as well. As the three titans duke it out in court, Silicon Valley is waiting to see how it all shakes out.
Since the Apple vs Samsung includes look-and-feel patents, Apple's competitors could be severely limited in just how they design their competing devices. On the other hand, some argue that those same limitations would drive innovation, creating even harsher competition for the iPhone.
Samsung has emerged as one of Apple's biggest rivals and has overtaken Apple as the leading smartphone maker.
The trial is just the latest skirmish between the two tech giants over product designs. Previous legal battles were fought in Australia, the United Kingdom and Germany.
The U.S. case is one of some 50 lawsuits among myriad telecommunications companies jockeying for position in the burgeoning $219 billion market for smartphones and computer tablets.
Coincidentally, Friday's verdict is also the anniversary of Steve Jobs' retirement from Apple.

Good job Chateau!! Francisco Bar??
One thing that I remember is that Andy said he let Tommy do the driving roadblock in case there was a mental Roadblock on the following leg. And also it seems strange that Sandy might have willingly chosen to do the tightrope task. Could it be that we still have the same rule of "go into the last leg with the RB count 6-6" as in Unfinished Business?
Are those squids at 0:04?? I think I can see eyes but I'm not shure...
I saw a preview of the next leg's episode where Andy & Tommy are running down to the escalator and I think they're inside of a shopping mall, probably in Panama or still in Brussels? Is there anyone who could upload a picture of that scene and probably search that place?p.s.I really miss Bill & Cathy and sadly got eliminated. Hopefully either Andy & Tommy or Ernie & Cindy will be the next team to eliminated.

Thinking of buying your kid a TV of his or her own for Christmas or Hannukah? Well here's a bit of advice from your friends at the American Journal of Preventive Medicine: Don't. It turns out there is a way to make television even more unhealthy for your children: Put a set in their bedroom.
Research has long established that for kids, more "screen time" is linked to higher rates of obesity. A new study goes further. It finds not only that kids with a TV in their bedroom tend to watch more TV, which in itself should make them fatter, but also: Compared to television watched in, say, a family room, the screen time a kid logs in his or her bedroom is linked, hour-for-hour, to more belly fat, higher triglycerides and overall greater risk of developing heart disease and diabetes.
Take two kids with roughly the same diet and the same level of physical activity: The study published Tuesday found that the one with a TV in his bedroom (and boys are more likely to have them than girls) will have more cardiometabolic risk factors than than the one who has to watch TV in one of his home's common rooms.

For a few years (too many) I worked at a Summer camp in Pine Lake Alberta. As a councillor I was basically a summer dad to a bunch of kids that were living in a cabin with me. I had to watch out for them make sure they ate, etc etc.
Every year at this Summer camp there is one night where the staff hold a T-shirt trade. Everyone sets up a table with their goods and swaps their old tattered shit for other peoples. Hockey jerseys are high end items at these events, especially those belonging to younger staff members or older campers who are invited to participate. Some people really took advantage of the kids. I only sorta did.
Ah the Todd MacFarlane Oilers 3rd jersey. What a gem! At the time my lack of funds meant I could not purchase this jersey which seemed to be responsible for wins during its inaugural season. Thank God (or the Loch Ness Monster) for the T-Shirt Trade!
Whatever I gave up I won this deal since I probably bought it at Value Village earlier that summer. Maybe a small Rangers jersey? who knows. I really wish that the Douch (settle down it was his nickname) took better care of the jersey though, the sperm tail is all worn out and warped. I've put so many books on top of it but it still looks crappy. I think I've ironed it....maybe tomorrow. Also h lost the strings.
Got this one from a kid whose nickname was Nuts. I really hope these kids weren't picking out their own nicknames. Just plain brutal.
This is a cool one. Originally I made some steal of a deal where I got traded a bunch of Value Village shit including a University of Michigan Jersey and I think a Phoenix Coyotes Jersey for a new at the time Flames Jersey (the red one with the black logo) and a Toronto Maple Leafs Brian Leetch jersey.
I was quite proud of myself and my haul and making my way to a staff cabin where some after hours trading was taking place (real high stakes shit) when the camper approached me. He said he felt really awful about giving up his Leafs jersey so I decided to be nice and gave it back to him. He gave me back the Coyotes jersey which is crazy small and something else I can't remember. Anyway I hung on to the Flames jersey for about 5 minutes.
I don't want a Flames jersey to I swapped it straight up with another veteran trader Big Bad Brad for this 2000 Team World All-Star Jersey. It's one of my favorites to wear while I'm playing and I've often thought about wearing a tie to go along with the collar.
This is the nicest jersey I've ever traded for easily. It's also the only time I really felt like a was stealing. Donkey (more great names) got this jersey from his parents as a grad present or something like that. Why they got him such a big jersey I don't know but it didn't really matter to me.
That is a Colorado Avalanche third jersey with Patty Roy on the back. What a beauty. I never wear the thing since it is an XL and an Avalanche jersey, but a nice addition to my collection none-the-less.

The Tonari no Seiki-kun short anime pisses me off for one single reason.In the manga, it's mostly Yokoi's inner dialogue while in the anime she's talking and yelling (and nobody notices)Why did they even feel the need for this change?
Bought the first Sword Art Online manga the other day. Would have preferred to read the novels, but my Japanese simply is not good enough to enjoy it. But I've been quite interested in it, so thought I'd take a look at something I am actually able to read.

I'm about 3 years late, but I finally watched Bakemonogatari after reading the light novel.It was really quite fun and, pleasantly, lacked filler. If anything, it removed some of the filler from the novel. I appreciated the more minimalist approach and the use of color in the later episodes.I think it's the only "harem" anime where I've found all of the girls likeable - read: not annoying - even if I think Kyomi made some questionable decisions.

The Intellectual Background of the Religious Revival in
England in the 19th Century
As I suggested on Tuesday, English thought exercised a considerable influence
on Europe and Amerj.ca in the 18th and early 19th centuries. It influenced t e
world through the French Enlightenment which made itself the propagandist of the
English empirical philosophy of the school of Locke, of English Science of the
school of Newton, and of English literature and poetry. But it also benefited
from the reaction against the Enlightenment - English romanticism and historicism -
and English political thought, especially Burke's later philosophy. This influence
was particularly strong in Germany, where Shaftesbury above all had a greater vogue
than he had in England itself and where romanticism or rather the intellectual
revolution that prepared the way for romanticism, as represented by Herder for
example, owed much to ±lm English example and inspiration.
Yet at the same time the mo3t characteristic developments of English thought and
English religion remained curiously remote from continental influence and were
little known on the continent. The greatest English thinkers after Locke -
Berkely and Butler - had no continental following and the greatest and most original
religious movement, that of John Wesley, was exclusively insular. It is true Lesley
owed his original inspiration to the German pietists, but he very soon broke with
them and made the new Evangelical English pietism something entirely sui genesis.
Wesley was undoubtedly one of the greatest Englishmen of the 18th century and a
great religious genius. But no man of his religious stature was more unphilosophical,
more anti metaphysical, and more out of touch with the new intellectual currents
of his time than Wesley. He was originally under t e influence of William Law, but
he broke with Law at the point when Law became speculative. He encountered Joseph

Watching Broken City is a lot like popping the hood of a hybrid car. Once you get past the shiny exterior you realize there isn't much there. Trim and efficient, Broken City nonetheless becomes less compelling as its secrets are revealed and the audience realizes there was hardly a mystery at all. Mark Wahlberg is former NYPD detective Billy Taggart, who was fired after killing the man who raped and murdered his sister-in-law. Taggart avoids jail thanks to New York City Major Nicholas Hostetler (Russell Crowe), who eventually calls on Taggart to use his current private-eye skills to track down his possibly cheating wife Cathleen (Catherine Zeta-Jones). The acting, including supporting turns by Kyle Chandler, Jeffrey Wright and Barry Pepper, is solid across the board, but Brian Tucker's script is full of holes and dangling plot points. Director Allen Hughes takes the reins without his usual directing partner and brother Albert Hughes, and creates an expectedly slick, well-paced film. Broken City runs a quick 108 minutes but never leaves "Rent It" territory thanks to its clumsy handling of political malfeasance.
Taggart stirs up a political debate when he kills his sister-in-law's rapist and murderer in the line of duty. Mayor Hostetler claims to admire Taggart's sense of justice and makes some damning evidence disappear, ending Taggart's legal woes at the State's probable cause hearing. Seven years later, Taggart works as a private dick, mostly filming cheating spouses to benefit the other's divorce settlement. Hostetler calls in a long-delayed but not unexpected favor, asking Taggart to find the man his wife is seeing behind his back. Hostetler is up for re-election and laments that New York will elect almost anyone, but not a man whose wife is running around. Since this is less a request than a command, Taggart trails Cathleen and discovers her suitor. When he turns over this information to the mayor it sets off a string of unexpected violence.
Perhaps the advertising campaign oversells the twists and turns of Broken City, but I found little mystery not forecast miles out. Hughes and Tucker forget that a successful film noir uses red herrings to mislead the audience and make a future reveal more impactful. Broken City does not offer red herrings as much as random plot points that are never developed or get abandoned entirely as if whole story lines were left on the cutting room floor. At its core, Broken City is about corruption in New York City - within the NYPD, in the mayor's office and elsewhere - and Hostetler's actions don't mirror the "broken city" cleanup he claims as the biggest success of his previous term. His younger, ambitious opponent, Jack Valliant (Pepper), is unimpressed with the veteran politician's spin and makes it his business to take down the bigwig. NYPD Capt. Carl Fairbanks (Wright) also dislikes Hostetler, and the film lazily ties him into the main plot on several planes.
After watching Broken City and taking a step back, I can say with some confidence that the whole thing is pretty dumb. The plot unspools like a cable-television political thriller and only the caliber of the actors gives away the film's theatrical origin. Had Hughes set Broken City in the turbulent days of prohibition the story might have had more impact, but as a modern tale of political woes it falls flat. Despite the numerous logic gaps and the weak script, Broken City is still fairly entertaining. This is classic rent-and-forget-it material, and Wahlberg and Crowe at least seem like they're trying. Broken City again proves that no matter how much you polish the surface, a film without a good script tumbles like a house of cards.
As expected, Broken City looks on Fox's Blu-ray. The 2.40:1/1080p/AVC-encoded transfer is nicely detailed, with excellent texture and clarity. Close-ups reveal intimate facial details, sweat and grit, and wide shots are clear and deep. Black levels are solid, though a bit of digital noise does pop up in a few nighttime scenes. Colors never bleed, skin tones are accurate, and there are no noise-reduction issues to report. A solid transfer for this recent release.
The 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrack exhibits sufficient clarity and range. Broken City is a dialogue-heavy film interspersed with a few action scenes, so the track chiefly handles center-channel dialogue. Ambient effects like crowd noise and street sounds trickle into the surround speakers, and the action scenes are supported by solid surround and subwoofer action. Spanish and Italian 5.1 Dolby Digital tracks are also included, as are English SDH, Spanish and Italian subtitles.
Fox releases Broken City in "combo pack" format. The two-disc set is packed in a Blu-ray eco-case, which is wrapped in a slipcover. Alongside the Blu-ray and DVD copy of the film are codes to redeem iTunes-compatible (yay!) and UltraViolet (still not on board) digital copies. Extras include Six Deleted Scenes (8:35/HD) that include a lame alternate ending and Putting It All Together (34:59/HD), a fairly thorough making-of documentary. The documentary (and the packaging) touts the script's former spot on the "black list" of Hollywood development hell, and the filmmakers and cast discuss what it took to get the project made. The interviewees also touch on the characters, location shooting and director Hughes. The disc also includes the film's spoiler-y theatrical trailer (2:19/HD).
If I had to describe Broken City in a word it would be "generic." There's little to distinguish this forgettable film-noir knockoff from a thousand other political and crime thrillers. Russell Crowe and Mark Wahlberg bring some class to a tale of political corruption and revenge, but Director Allen Hughes is saddled with a weak script. Logic gaps and irrelevant plot detours abound, but Broken City is still entertaining enough for me to suggest that you Rent It.
William lives in Burlington, North Carolina, and looks forward to a Friday-afternoon matinee.

Disney Snaps Up Maker to Court Millennials
Mar 26, 2014 5:55 AM PT
Disney this week announced it would acquire Maker Studios, a provider of short-form videos, for at least US$500 million -- a number that could go up if Maker meets performance targets.
Maker's videos account for more than 5.5 billion monthly views on YouTube -- it has 380 million subscribers. The company's content lineup includes popular YouTube channels like Epic Rap Battles of History, Snoop Lion's WestFestTV and PewDiePie, a Swedish comedian with more than 25 million subscribers. With more than 55,000 YouTube channels, Maker serves as a network for less high-profile names as well.
Those channels could serve as a new way to connect Disney to its audience of millennial YouTube consumers. The company is eager to be in the center of the action as short online videos from platforms like YouTube emerge as one of the most popular forms of media for today's younger consumers, Disney said.
If Maker can draw those viewers and meet Disney's performance goals, Disney could add as much as $450 million to the acquisition price.
Making It Count
With short-form online videos emerging as a prime source of entertainment for today's consumer, this acquisition is a win-win situation for Disney and Maker Studios, said Steve Hawley, principal analyst and consultant at TVstrategies.
"Maker bolsters its lineup with some of the most desirable content in the business, and as a company which has had mixed results online, Disney gets a proven channel to market," he told the E-Commerce Times. "For a company with the size and leverage of Disney, this is a relatively inexpensive additional path into the consumer's hands."
In order to make the most of the acquisition, Disney should utilize all the talent, knowledge and technology that Maker has to offer, said Paul Gillin, social media marketing strategist.
"Disney needs to learn from Maker about creating content for the millennial audience. Disney has not fared well in the game business, and talent like PewDiePie can give them great insight on what drives those young customers," he told the E-Commerce Times.
"I hope Disney doesn't see Maker as just another channel [to] push Mickey Mouse and Disney World promos. They need to learn how to connect with these new customers, which is something a company like Maker understands in its DNA," Gillin added.
That could be a tall order for a company like Disney, said David Dines, principal analyst at ACG Research.
"There are so many things that Disney can do to make the most of the talent, but the underlying mindset behind success would be to listen and be open to new ideas and businesses," he told the E-Commerce Times. "If Disney is like the typical large company, people are heavily invested in the status quo and groupthink, which nearly always quashes innovation."
Further Consolidation?
Disney's acquisition of Maker is a sign of the times, as large media companies reach out to the up-and-coming studios that have figured out how to connect in new ways, said Joost van Dreunen, cofounder and CEO of Super Data Research.
"The way audiences consume media today is different, and media companies are best served by adjusting their strategy," he told the E-Commerce times. "This acquisition is part of a larger industry consolidation as brands and media firms are trying to reconnect with their target demographics."
If Disney can effectively use Maker's talent and resources as a pipeline to those target demographics, it could open up entertainment and media platforms way beyond YouTube, van Dreunen added.
"All at once we're seeing e-sports, online game play videos and user-generated content emerge as important hubs for next-generation digital consumers," he pointed out. "It only makes sense for Disney to claim a stake."

I have taken a lot of shots of this church, but these are a few of my favourites. These particular photos were taken on 11 September 2011. For me it was an odd day for a number of reasons, not the least of which was the fact of it being that terrible anniversary. I felt physically awful, and had all kinds of problems with each one of my cameras; I was carrying three. The place itself is a bit of a photographer's nightmare with lots of pot lights, spot lights, and shiny surfaces casting light back at you, usually when you least desire it.
Also, I had arisen late that day, and my schedule was completely turned upside down, so I arrived at the church later than I had planned, and a service was going on. You are not allowed to take photographs while a service is in progress, so I was waiting outside of the church talking to my new friend Margaret, who happens to be one of the proctors at the church. Margaret is basically in charge of corralling unruly tourists. While we were talking we were approached by a number of tourists who had come to the church for mass, and I was surprised to discover how many of them thought St. Patrick's Cathedral is a Catholic Church; it is not. St. Patrick's is the National Cathedral of the Church of Ireland, a member church of the Anglican Communion.
Christ Church Cathedral, the other Cathedral in Dublin, is also a Church of Ireland Cathedral, and is the official seat of the Church of Ireland in Dublin. Believe or not there is no official Catholic Cathedral in Dublin, only St. Mary's Pro-Cathedral. The explanation of all of this is in a post for another day. For now, please enjoy these indoor shots of St. Patrick's Cathedral. Be sure to click on them to view a larger version.
|One of the first sights you notice on entering the Cathedral is this remarkable monument, which dates to 1631,
and stands in memory of Richard Lord Boyle, 1st Earl of Cork, his wife Lady Katherine, and their children.
|The choir area and the Knight's stalls.
|The main altar.
|The main pulpit crafted of stone and marble stands on the right hand side of the main hall.

It's just after lunch in Glen Ellyn, and Kathy Quaid is walking into the large foyer of a million-dollar home on a private, serene road. A bevy of workers –painters and carpet cleaners and floor refinishers – dart past her, readying the home for market. In a flash, Quaid is up a ladder in the kitchen, to offer a needed hand to her partner Maureen Rooney, who is hanging a new light fixture over the table.
They'll be here a while, in heels and hose, moving furniture and hanging curtains, then head off to an appraisal or another appointment, before circling back to check on the work done, hang some art on the freshly painted walls, and stage the master bath.
It's this hands-on approach that has solidified Quaid and Rooney as top agents in the DuPage market. Their knowledge of the clients, the home itself, and the community have made the duo a dynamo in local real estate over the last four years.
"We love real estate, but more than that, we love people's stories," says Quaid. "The people, not the home, that's our main concern. We want to help them get to the next place."
Quaid and Rooney Distinctive Real Estate is the top realty team in Glen Ellyn, with more than $54 million in sales in 2013.
Completing the team are brokers Brian Quaid, Craig Williams and Michael Cellini, and administrative assistant Kim Prickett.
As for Quaid and Rooney themselves, they feed off each other's strengths as much as they finish each other's sentences.
Quaid and Rooney are designers. They keep up on the hottest trends and stays up-to-date with what home buyers want most. "Some agents are either listing agents or buying agents," Quaid explains, "but we consider ourselves both. We continue to work with buyers to hear first hand what they are wanting and use that information to help us prepare our clients homes on the listing side."
Their level of expertise keeps them connected to clients long after the sale of their home closes.
"We become the most important people in someone's life, for about two months," quips Rooney. The confidence clients have in the Quaid and Rooney team transcends the sale, as their role evolves from savvy agent to trusted friend.
"We get calls from former clients all the time," says Rooney "Can you help us decorate? Should we finish the basement? What colors should we use? Do you know a good contractor?"
And they do. In fact the staging end of real estate has become one of Quaid and Rooney's strongest assets. Home staging is about setting a scene, creating a mood and "dressing" your home to appeal to buyers.
The team will rearrange, eliminate and redesign the furniture and accessories, transforming the space and producing a "wow" factor to which buyers will respond.
Need a little more? Full service staging goes above and beyond, to complete additional rooms in the house. For a quoted fee, full service staging can involve the staging of vacant homes, homes with little furnishings, or homes that have not been updated for many years. The Quaid and Rooney team will bring in furniture, lighting, rugs and accessories to create the inviting and ambient home that will attract buyers.
The relationship Quaid and Rooney builds with the clients they represent become the foundation for their business. Clients come to count on their advice, referring friends and neighbors, returning when they are ready to move again, or when their grown children are ready to begin their own households.
"Our customer relationships flow just like the market," Rooney says. "Our first customers are starting to downsize. Their children are upsizing. We are right there for all of it."
The team also has worked hard at building strong relationships with city and local agents who call to see what is coming on the market.
"We have worked hard at building a strong relationship with our industry peers to be a reliable source for them. They often comment that we always get the "pretty" listings – not knowing that we have worked very hard in partnership with our clients to get them to that point," Quaid says.
That approach is what keeps them on the move constantly. Having closed 92 home sales last year, Quaid and Rooney believe this year already is looking to be an active real estate market.
"We are always running, running, running," says Quaid. "If you can't multi-task, you're in trouble."
And it's at that very moment that something catches Quaid's eye, and pulls her attention back to the home at hand.
"Those doors, Maureen, should we have had them painted white? It will go better with the rest of the trim don't you think?"
And in moments, the partners are back in the thick of staging, comparing doorways and window treatments, and searching through tables of décor treasures for just the right piece.
Kathy Quaid
Kathy Quaid believes that doing what you love is the key to success, so after a 20-year career in corporate sales she decided to dedicate her professional life to real estate, and she's never looked back. "My passion for real estate and people combined with the dynamic elements that make up a real estate transaction is what energizes me," she says. "I am thrilled to assist my clients as they move on to a new chapter in their lives and to make that transition stress free and fun-filled. Married and the mother of two, Quaid spends her off-work time biking and traveling, and spending time with friends. An active member of the Glen Ellyn Infant Welfare organization she also enjoys volunteering at her children's school.
Maureen Rooney
Maureen Rooney's entire real estate career has been spent in the DuPage County area so she often happens upon someone she has helped find a home. "I love hearing what they are doing with their property and that they are happy," she says. "That kind of ongoing relationship is what brings me the most satisfaction." A longtime resident of the community, Rooney and her husband raise our family in Glen Ellyn and enjoyed participating in the schools, parks and programs. Her local involvement left it's mark, and now her adult children are Glen Ellyn residents and business owners as well. "The many years of relationship building has served me well for a real estate career that continues to give," she says. "I am thankful for it all."
