TIME magazine prefers to be diplomatic and doesn't rank its list of the 100 Most Influential People in the World, which was announced today. But let's be frank: in the world of entertainment, Jennifer Lawrence is nonpareil. The 22-year-old Oscar winner and star of the Hunger Games blockbuster franchise was lauded by none other than Jodie Foster, her director from The Beaver and one of the few actresses to attain Lawrence's critical and popular success — and more importantly, know how to translate it into real influence.
"Sure, this girl can act. But, man, this girl can also just be," Foster wrote, describing seeing early cuts of Lawrence's Oscar-nominated performance in Winter's Bone. "All of those painful secrets in her face, the feeling that there's some terrible past that's left impossibly angled bone and weariness in its wake. She's worn from the pain of living — something none of her characters would ever have the energy to articulate. It's just part of her, like skin and muscle. The good news is that Jen, her good-humored, ballsy, free-spirited alter ego with the husky voice and a propensity for junk food … Jen, the spritely tomboy from Kentucky — that Jen's got it together. A hoot. A gem. A gem with a killer stare."
Click below for a few of the other entertainment figures who made TIME's list, with the tributes penned by admiring celebrities. READ FULL STORY

October 30, 2009
Two of our local teams continued their undefeated seasons as the 2009 high school season winds down. Only one full week remains in the regular season and some great match ups have been set up for next week.
Western Albemarle got a scare from Orange early on, but quickly regained focus to improve to 9-0 on the year. The Hornets jumped out to the 14-0 lead, but an interception return for a touchdown by Warrior nose tackle Adam Frazier started a comeback that saw Western score 35 unanswered points and cruise for the 35-14 win.
The Warriors will play Goochland next week in hopes of winning an outright Jefferson District title. The Bulldogs are 8-1, after a 49-27 win at William Monroe. If Western wins, the Warriors will earn the district championship. If the Bulldogs get the victory the two teams will share the championship.
Elsewhere, Madison improved to 8-0 with a 28-7 win over Strasburg. Antonio Childress had two touchdown catches for the Mountaineers, who move one step closer to a Bull Run District championship. Madison will travel to Manassas Park, before returning home to close out its season with undefeated Clarke County to decide the district title.
Anthony Hunter had three touchdowns for Louisa, as the Lions stormed past Monticello, 40-14. Louisa is now 6-3, while the Mustangs fall to 3-6. The Lions will host Fluvanna next Friday to close out their season, while Monticello hosts William Monroe.
Charlottesville jumped out to a 14-0 lead, but could not hold off Fluvanna, which came back for the 33-22 victory. After gaining just 38 yards in the first half, the Flucos scored 27 points in the second half to roll to the win. Cameron Coles had two touchdown passes from Ryan Foster in the victory. Both teams sit at 2-4 in district play.
Albemarle returned home to face Mountain View on Friday, but was unable to grab its first win of the season. Andrew Frazier had two total touchdowns, while Jordan Hill pulled down a touchdown pass as well.
Nelson pushed Chatham to the limit, but could not grab its first Dogwood District win. The Governors fell, 28-22, in double overtime.
Covenant traveled to North Cross Friday afternoon, but fell, 45-7.

Workers at several Domino's Pizza locations in New York will split nearly half a million dollars in a minimum wage lawsuit settlement announced Thursday.
The state attorney general's office says 23 different Domino's Pizza restaurants, including several in the city, had been committing a slew of minimum wage law violations.
"Some of the franchises that we have reached a settlement with simply did not pay overtime. Pizza delivery workers were paid below minimum wage. For tipped workers, for delivery workers, they were not reimbursed for using their personal vehicles to deliver pizza. Employees working in multiple stores during the same week were not able to combine hours, so they lost out on overtime pay," said State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman.
Each of the 750 workers is expected to receive between $200 and $2,000 in the settlement.
Back in December, the attorney general ordered the reinstatement of 25 workers at a Domino's Pizza in Manhattan after they were fired for going on strike.

Review, Ruger Blackhawk Elite / Umarex Surge .177 Cal Air Rifles
People Who Liked This Video Also Liked
Did this video help you?
Enrique Pabalate: My problem with the Umerex Surge and the Ruger Talon which is basically
similar is that the stock screw at the trigger area comes loose. I've
applied some blue Loctite on it and it still loosens up after about 25 to
50 shots. Other than that it shoots pretty well for the price.
myairgunreviews: For some reason I am unable to post a reply to questions or comments posted on this review. Sorry
carlos Hernandez: Is this also a gun you would use for rabbit hunting
mk phelps: do you consider this gun to be a good gun for squirrel hunting? What do you know about the Gamo rocket air rifle?
Brandon Chambers: is this thing a CO2 or Pump style?
wtsig76: Thanks for the great vid. I was just wondering where I could get the o-ring seal for the breach seal. I'm impressed with the power of this thing so far. I'm just shooting some basic daisy and crosman pellets. I'm also wondering what you would suggest for hobby target shooting and occasional varmit. Will the cheepo pellets do the job? or is there a good lead pellet available? Also, are alloy pellets wortgh the hype? Everything seems to be about FPS when they market these guns. I just want accuracy and small game knock down power.
John Bain: When you were firing this gun, what pellet fit/seated best in it?
ogbobbye: Just got this Ruger Blackhawk and I'm happy he's right on the scope coming loose after getting the it near zeroed in mine came loose and I had to tighten it back up. The scope isn't all the bad I was shooting dimes at dead center in only about 25 shots. I have not had the problem with bolts coming loose (except the scope) that he talked about but I plan to use lock tight anyway as he suggested. Over all for 99 dollars it's a great air rifle. My 1st shot at a squirrel was dead on between the eyes at just under 20 yards and an instance kill..... by the way Great review
Ruben Perez: Do I have to do all those steps before shooting my rifle like you did?
L. E. Young Jr.: A great review! Answers all my questions about my own experience with a Umarex Surge, I bought from Big Five Store. It explains why I was having so much trouble getting this gun to group less then eight inch pattern! Dido on the scope as well! It's cheep but functional. Clean the barrel, before firing the first time. It had so much assembly oil in it that it ran out the mussel and it still "exploded" on the first shot! And, don't use cheep pelts if you want any good performance.
herne777: Personally, I'd get the ruger air hawk. Scopes on $100 air rifles are junk across the board.
Dana Whitfield: SO if you can only have one would you have this rifle or the Crosman Optimus? I'm looking for a low price critter getter.
Milton Parker: I use Stoeger x-speed high velocity precision pellets 5.56 gr..there's something about the domed pellets that shoot the best...but seriously go on to amazon and buy these, they shoot accurate and very very hard..better and more impressive than anything I have used...lead free alloy...
Patrick Higdon: I've shot this one when I was visiting family in MO. We were shooting quarters (which almost went through at 25yds), and then moved on to dimes. The scope just needs to be zeroed properly and this thing is awesome. It is solid, and a great quality product. At 50yds it almost goes through a 50 gallon barrel (also observed). For the money this thing is a lot of fun so I bought one. Aside from that 22 ammo is really hard to find! I can buy pellets all day for cheap! So for plinking or small game get an air rifle!
Nathanael K: I just shot about twenty shots through mine for the first time today. So far it is excellent. The scope was able to be zeroed in at 10 yards with no problem with the pellets getting stacked close together freehanded with my unsteady hand. The breech seal in mine seems ok but I may get the shimm kit eventually. Definitely thinking about more umarex products in the future!
Jerry Kittle: so what diameter are those washers( Shimms) your useing
Thomas Garvey: I purchased one to help exterminate a rat we had in our neighborhood . First time I fired it at all , was a confirmed kill . Took it to the gun range this past weekend , dead on . Didn't need to do anything . The rat didn't have a chance . I love it and would recommend it highly . Even if it has some future issues .
Seiji Nishimatsu: I got this model (umarex I believe) from walmart for about $100+tax and shot plenty of rounds without issues. I shoot lead pointed pellets and through some research I believe it goes about 1000 fps (1200 with alloy pellets). My question was, since I have an interest in the Gamo Big Cat 1400, if I should return the Blackhawk and pay the extra $80 or so (total $180+tax) for the 1400, or if the Blackhawk is just as powerful/accurate as the 1400 with lead pellets (not PBA or alloy pellets). I appreciate your time in reading this and helping me out
James Roberson: The stock scope is horrible!
Dennis Lynch: I am glad to see some one making commonsense reviews about air gun in general, sure makes it easier to choose what will work for the individual shooters out there.
dasameo163: Does the umarex surge have the five chamber damping system?
mapbike: excellent review, I'm thinking seriously about getting one of these in the Umarex Surge form, I have an old XS-B18 Chinese rifle which is a clone of the Gamo 220/440, it shoots pretty good but, it seems I would have a much better rifle in the Umarex Surge. I watch your reviews all the time and really enjoy them, thank you and keep them coming, I cant wait to see a review of the New Crosman NP2 that is coming out soon, please get one asap and give us a great run down of the new trigger and power with common pellets like the Crosman domes and crosman HP's
kyle strauss: Hi i recently just bought this air rifel and when i take a shot it smokes after.. i took a credit card and my breec seal was completly flat How do i replace the breech seal i never have before thanks! And great review ive been having trouble zeroing the scope in at 20 yards also.
Jerry Kittle: Yhanks ...i had the crosman storm xt....changed the spring three times....the springs really suck....so Assumeing the springs in the ruger/umerex are just as cheap,i wanted to find out if a diferent company made a better spring or even stronger...
Adrien Kennedy: Should i buy the umarex surge?Found it for 90 dollars.
Milton Parker: put a BSA Optics Red, GREEN, Blue Dot Sight on it for $30, sits and functions on this rifle well..fun!!!!
Kendall Riebel: Got another question on this rifle. I've been shooting it a lot past couple days and its very sparatic it's all over. I've pulled out screws as you suggested then put blue thread lock on all. And was still all over cleaned barrel three times trying to change then retightened scope screws ended up twisting one off. So put a small 3 by 7 on i had on henry 22 lr so i know this scope and mounts are good shot like ten shots trying to sight in before giving up! Would that barrel seal be a possible cause? It also did have the yellow tag pinched in barrel as u was talking, but I thought it looked okay. Any suggestions? And if bad would a regular o-ring like for hydraulics work?
Loveemyboo1: Is their anyway I can take off the front thing of the rifle. Has a small plastic screw took it off but couldn't remove the muzzle.
MadRiverCarpenter: I put a lot of blame on the scope at first. I had accurate hits, then a few inexplicable fliers. After I tore the gun apart and put it back together, it worked well for about 40 shots. I checked the screws, and they were all coming loose again. I really hope Loctite does the trick.
iceman5815: My Ruger blackhawk doesn't lock up anymore when I break the barrel. Can anyone help? I bought it brand new 6 months ago and only had maybe 1000 rounds through it and now I can't even shoot it.
droida8: Thanks a lot for making this video! I had the same problem with the screws coming loose and without this video I would've most likely got really frustrated and smashed this gun in my driveway lol. I replaced my scope with a decent Winchester 4x32 and now I'm taking out squirrels with one shot with Crosman Destroyer EX pellets. I've tried every pellets you can buy at walmart and a few sports stores in my area and none do half as good as these pellets with this gun if anyone is curious. Thanks again sir!!!
Jerry Kittle: One moor thing when the spring breaks....and it will....who has the best spring to replace. It with?
Milton Parker: the gun cost $90 bucks, im going to enjoy it as much as an adult man can!
Crabsdonthum: Thanks for the review. I decided to take a chance on this rifle. Your conclusion that with some work it turned out more accurate and powerful than a lot of higher priced guns had me intrigued. I'm decently mechanically inclined and figured I'd give a go. Well I was really surprised. Maybe Umarex saw your review of this gun and went to work. I didn't have to do a thing to it. I just mounted the scope and it was on. This rifle is a real gem. I had no issues with the o-ring being flattened. There was Lock-tight on every screw I could see. Right out of the box after I got the scope zeroed I was shooting quarter sized 5 shot groups at 25 yards. And this was in a sitting position as I don't have a proper bench rest. As for decibels it was no louder than my Benji 392. Actually I guess if I have a complaint it's the cheap scope. It's pretty fuzzy in low light. But it holds zero. I'm not going to yell too much about it. It does the trick. It's good at 25 yards.
Kendall Riebel: Are you still unable to reply? Cause I have a question I got one of these rifles and first 5 shots sounded great and then it started to sound like a plinker
BaseballPRO16: would u recomend this or the beeman kodiak silver (i think thats what its called) for small game hunting?
Jerry Kittle: What size washers do i use and how much do i trim off the sleeve?
Jerry Kittle: is it possible to put in a gas piston in these?also how would i go about ramping up the power of this gun?
tim lee: Thank You for your help.
tim lee: Thanks, do I need to disassemble the gun and clean it?
tim lee: can you use an o ring from the hardware store for the breech seal?
myairgunreviews: I had the best luck with Crosman Premier Hollow Point 7,9 grain pellets at 20 yards. The H&N (Or Beeman) Crow Magnum 9.26 grain or the JSB Match Diabolo Exact 8.44 grain are also good choices.
MykTheOccultist: do you think the umarex surge .22 actually shoots at 1200fps?
myairgunreviews: The Blackhawk Elite has a little more pop to it but I think the quality of the Air Hawk is better and would be my gun of choice for the same price.
myairgunreviews: The 2nd stage was stiff but predictable. I'd spend $20 more and get the Hatsan Striker Edge.
flatpickinman: Agree - all the screws need to be cleaned and thread-locked. Note that the breech lockup is now bushed, not just a through bolt, and is much less of a problem to accuracy as a result.
John David: What can pest can i shoot with this and did they stop making the blackhawk elite with a thumbhole stock?
WOODDUCK DAN: I really enjoy watching your reviews. I'm looking at the Umarex Surge Xt, which is a newer model exclusive for Cabela's. It looks like this rifle except it has a weaver style scope rail. Questions are. 1) How did you like the trigger? Umarex claims a little over 3#. 2)Did you need to use the Artillery hold for better accuracy? Also, would you say this Umarex is better or worse than your standard Crosman in the same price? I'm looking at the Fury 2. or may get a Crosman Nitro, Any recommends?
myairgunreviews: Surge.
myairgunreviews: What are you going to use it for?

Unions: MoD 'mad to fire staff while increasing consultant spending'
Problem with the MOD...
...is that they don't have the first fuckton of a clue about IT, hence contractors, and companies who provide services string them along for ages, over-promising, under-delivering, and whacking charge after charge after charge on top.
The real money leakage is going on because project leaders in MoD don't call bullshit on the contracting companies hideous practices.

MSI tells 97,000 customers to 'Read The F***ing Manual'
I've long celebrated a saying from a developer I work with; when you're speaking to someone who refuses to *think*, then you should suggest that they 'Get the FAQ off the site'.
It always makes 'em pause, until you reasonably explain it to them... "Why, what did you think I said?"
BBC protects 'unique' 1Xtra listeners from radio cull
Very worried...
...about the box-ticking exercise of 6Music vs. 1Extra , but then again, the only BBC radio I listen to now is 5 Live anyway, so I can't complain about 6Music's death, even though it apparently seems to be aimed at my musical tastes.
However, must point out that BBC3 avoided the BBC Trust's eye because I seem to remember reading somewhere that it's not covered by the licence fee, or a substantial amount of its programming comes from independent studios? I remember seeing a question about this when the adverts describing what the BBC Trust is, and how to enquire about how the licence fee is spent on television referred to you having any questions about BBC1, BBC2 and BBC4...

I used to take another brand of spirulina, but I like this one from HealthForce better. I like the amble bottle that helps to lock in the nutrients. Compared to the previous brand, this one seems more potent,like the real stuff.

Spirulina is great, altough it's not so good tasting! But it's wonderful nutrition, so we continue to use it.

I like these over other typical brands, but they might be too costly for me in the future. So I'll pick these whenever I can afford them, but if not I'll choose the cheaper less quality stuff. This goes for their Chlorella as well.

I was arrested for underage consumption and disorderly conduct at 1am Sun. in Ohio. I was released on bail at 10 am Sun with a court appearance Tues at 9am. I was told I was not on the docket and sent to another office. I was told there that the charges were not filed in time and if they decide to pursue it they will send a letter. Ohiobar.org states under What are my rights in court? Within 72 hours after your arrest, the judge must: 1. Tell you the crime of which you are accused. 2. Give you a copy of the written complaint against you. 3. Give you a continuance to get an attorney, if there is a possibility you could go to jail. 4. Tell you the nature and effect of the pleas. How long do they have to do this & what if they don't do it in the allotted time frame?
The 72 hours is the time they have to bring you in front of a judge if you are in jail. The real time frame is the speedy trial clock which based on underage consumption would be 90 days. They have to bring you to trial within 90 days. You should go ahead an hire an attorney now so that your rights are protected and they can start working on your case. Cases are very rarely won on those little technicalities but an attorney can watch those time frames to make sure that if your the lucky one you prevail on that. Good luck to you.

I've never heard of anything like this before. Who knows, maybe the arresting officer or someone in the clerk's office messed up, but to answer your question, here's another right you have: the right to a speedy trial. For a first degree misdemeanor you must be brought to trial within 90 days of arrest and service of summons.
If you're convicted out of this incident, it could have major employment ramifications for you for a long time to come. You should go to the clerk's website and confirm that no complaints were filed. If you do have an open case, contact a lawyer, who will handle the apparent procedural messup from there.

So when is the right time to work with a real estate coach? If you're serious about investing then there are quite a few causes for hiring a coach. Ask yourself why you chose to to be investing. Most maybe we do not to make money and work independently for themselves. That is the reason real estate is such a gold mine for these persons.
Donald Trump is 3rd most discussed man found right now behind Obama and Osama bin Filled. Trump is the master at making himself relevant when in reality, he's not all that relevant to America. Determine it, he's just an effective full details on the story in which has a second job as being a reality TV star.
Construction Expenses are forecast declined by 0.5% in September, a lot reversing a 0.4% gain in August. Because of the high vacancy rates in commercial real estate, and also the big overhang of existing homes for sale, a decline in construction spending is to be expected, and i would not surprised discover it accessible in even weaker than guess.
Exclusive listings are the rule in addition to the exception. With exclusive listings could possibly control the client, the inspections, the negotiations, and also the marketing. With exclusive listings will help you build your profile as the good quality agent that understands the marketplace.
Now, creates this change mean that real estate investing is simple or in order to try to buy with required down? Certainly never! A 20% down payment is now an absolute minimum (if you don't intend to exist in the home) unless you discover a seller is actually willing to support the glose. In fact, too much leverage can be risky. Ought to aim for not less than a 5% cash flow yield before investing. As well as all expenses associated with the dwelling. Many novice investors overlook important expenses including vacancy loss and up keep. You must aspect of all business expenses. If you run the numbers, you'll understand a larger down payment is often required to empty the 5% cash flow yield rule of thumb.
Government has rolled a fresh plan any user modify loans from providing lowers interests to extending terms from 30 years to forty years. But it did take a long time to developed the plan, when this plans really need been primary.
Unfortunately, I know I am falling on deaf ears. The successful people completely understand a few things i am talking about and will never stop learning. The unsuccessful people are convinced that real estate investing is impossible yet they have never invested in learning how to do this business properly.

- Hard to read Review by JD
The JDRF logo is difficult to read on my 5 year old's wrist, since the extra material wraps around so far. The quality is excellent. (Posted on 2/20/14)
- Excellent Site and Service Review by Tricia Gamson
The medical ID band I ordered for my 6 year old grandson who has Type 1 Diabetes.I loved the fact that it was made by a mom and proceeds go to JDRF. The site was so easy to use and the choices were more than I expected.The prices were also within reason. I liked the fact that I could custom make the ID by choosing colors and designs and even having enough lines to put all the important information.I also chose to be notified by email of the progress and that was kept very current.The shipping was very efficient.What a GREAT site this is and I will continue to use this site to reorder bands or accessories. Thank you N-Style ID. (Posted on 8/30/12)
- Pleased with ID band Review by Peter Thomas
I am pleased with delivery time and quality not only that I purchased the band for my diabetic son and he absolutely loves the design
After all he chose the band due to the lightning bolt and the slider in gold (Posted on 6/23/12)
- My Son Loves It Review by Michelle
I bought this for my 13 year old son who was recently diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. He loves it. It is comfortable and contains the necessary information if something should happen while at school or away from family. (Posted on 1/3/12)
- Great bracelet for preteen / early teens Review by Lisa Piekarski
My 11 year old son loves this bracelet. It is very durable, he wears it during all of his sporting events (ice hockey, lacrosse, cross country). We are extremely happy with this purchase. (Posted on 10/25/11)
- Love the idea-Words "Just Cure it" aren't seen well. Review by Amy Feighner
My daughter was very excited about this band. When we received it, we were both a little disappointed. She has a small wrist and the words "Just Cure it" are not the visible words when she put it on her wrist. The way it is made had the Just around the end where is connects and so all we can see is "st Cure Jdrf" because of where the ID part is. I plan on calling to see if we can try again because I do really love the idea of the band. (Posted on 10/18/11)

Good morning Lou,
We would like to personally thank you and your team for the first rate service you provided on the sale of our home. We interviewed four leading agents in Essendon, before choosing you. You stood out as the preferred agent, through your positive and caring attitude.The four week campaign went brilliantly.
There was constant communication from your office in addition to regular catchups with you.On the day of the auction, you and your team were comforting and it was a terrific experience to watch you all in full swing. You were the ultimate professionals, identifying prospective buyers, constantly evaluating the approach and changing tact as the auction unfolded.
We appreciated the individualised attention and the excellent service we received from start to end.You demonstrated professionalism, honesty and integrity that are truly "above and beyond", rendering you truly superior in your field.We would highly recommend your services to anyone that is contemplating buying or selling a home.
Kind Regards,
Raff & Anthony C
Dear Leigh,
We would like to thank you for your tireless effort in successfully selling our property in Aberfeldie.
It has been a pleasure to work with you and to take on board your professsional advice throughout the sale campaign.
We appreciate your efforts and feedback received and would gladly recommend you to any prospective vendors in this area.We wish you all the best for the future.
Kindest regards,
Jim & April
Dear Nathan,
This is just a short note to thank you and your team for all the effort put into selling the above property.
As per normal, you achieved our Reserve Price and taking into consideration the way the economy is at the moment, I think you did very well.
Nathan this is the third property you have sold for us and it will not be the last.Just remember Nathan we will be selling our own residence in Kensington within the next two years and we will be expecting Big things from you and your team again.

The easiest decision you're likely to make in the entire process of selling your house is to put it on the market. It's the period of time that follows the decision to move on your most valuable asset that is perplexing.
Everybody in your social circle and beyond becomes an instant real estate aficionado: "No, don't sell at auction, the market isn't right." "Yep, now is the time to sell at auction." "Private sale - it's the only way to go." "Sale by date - it's the best way to sell your house now!"
And then the real work begins - the recruitment of a real estate agent to handle the sale of your property. One by one, potential agents file through the house, extract the magic figure that you have in your head, and then invariably inflate it in order to secure your business.
Enter Lou Rendina, on, may we add, a Sunday afternoon. His thorough approach and decisive demeanour was just what the doctor ordered. He quickly put us straight on the true market value of the property, offered intelligent tips on presentation and garden modifications, was resolute on his decision to sell at auction, and organised a marketing campaign to suit our budget.
Leigh Chant was appointed as our agent, and what an inspired choice she turned out to be. Leigh demonstrated absolute professionalism throughout the campaign and was on hand practically 24/7 to answer any queries. We didn't want an overbearing agent to conduct the open houses - her calming influence, experience, honesty and expertise were an invaluable asset. At different periods throughout the open house campaign, we sent through friends, who all reported the same even-keeled and informative approach to questions posed.
So, the campaign ran smoothly, we achieved great numbers during the open houses, the team at Rendina was at our beck and call throughout the duration, and we achieved a sale on auction day; all parties concerned were satisfied.
Entrusting somebody to sell your home is undoubtedly the most important decision you will make. The plethora of agency choices on offer is staggering and for the uninitiated, a veritable minefield. Rendina offered a professional service, didn't flatter our expectations, and delivered on their commitments and assurances. We honestly couldn't have asked for a more professional real estate agency or comprehensive approach; few people know the inner west better than Lou Rendina.
Paul Jones
To The Rendina Staff
To All Concerned,
We are pleased to recommend Lou Rendina and his highly qualified and attentive staff to any prospective vendor. We had the misfortune of originally signing with another agency. This other large agency did a shocking job leaving us feeling more than a bit bleak with our situation. Lou and Luana Rendina, along with Nathan Collyer and the rest of the Rendina team decisively took the reins and turned around what was quite a bad situation for any vendor to be in.
The level of attention we received throughout the campaign was amazing. Whenever I rang or emailed, I was responded to immediately and Lou's advice on how to best 'show' our home was fantastic. Rendina is not just a "signing" agency. Rendina is a full service, red carpet, and excellent value for money real estate agency.
On a personal level, Lou Rendina is not only a class act, but he and his team's conduct was always professional, caring, ethical and determined. They took on the sale of our home, as if it was their own. I wouldn't place the sale of any future home with anyone else.
M & J Vulin
Ascot Vale
I engaged Rendina Real Estate to sell my Moonee Ponds property. My dealings with Rendina were nothing short of excellent. The selling process was straightforward with the property sold quickly and at an excellent price.
I would personally like to thank Lou for his hard work and commitment to achieving a fantastic outcome. His well planned and budgeted marketing campaign achieved a sale with three weeks of its commencement, with a sale price well above my reserve. Lou kept me up to date each week with the potential buyers and level of interest in the property. Lou accurately assessed the likely sale price and managed my expectations at all times.
Although selling a property is typically a stressful experience (especially when the market is so unpredictable), my dealings with Rendina were an absolute pleasure. Like their other clients, I can attest to their integrity, professionalism and reliability. I have no hesitation in recommending Rendina to my family and friends.
D. Attana, Fitzroy
Dear Rendina Real Estate,
On behalf of Moonee Ponds West Primary School, committee, staff, students, the rest of the school community and myself, I would like to thank you very much for the support towards our annual school fete.
The fete was a great success and your support contributed to a wonderful community day. The money raised will go towards supporting existing programs at the school.
Your organisation will be acknowledged for it's donation in our weekly newsletter. This will be done on more than one occasion.
Once again, thank you for supporting our state primary school.
Mr Anthony Hilton - Principal
Hi Lou,
This is just a quick note to express our sincere thanks to Nathan for all his assistance in selling our house at The Crescent Kensington.
Nathan was always exceptionally helpful and nothing ever seemed too much trouble for him.
How Nathan maintains his extreme professionalism is a mystery to me.
Thanks again Nathan.
K & J Barratt
Marie & I would like to thank you and your staff for the effort & professionalism put into the sale and rental management of the property.
Special mention needs to be made of Nathan, a very pleasant and approachable young man.
Nathan did an excellent job, on our behalf, in the management and negotiation of frustrating tenants who were less than co-operative in many areas during the sale period. Throughout, Nathan's communications were excellent, keeping me updated and constantly advising / verifying the direction we should take on a regular basis, and ensuring any follow through was completed, to make a successful sale.
I would like to have gone through the 'Auction Process' for the experience, however I can only say, you managed a very fair outcome on our behalf.
We would both like to thank yourself and Nathan, and your company for all your positive efforts, plus the flowers.
Thank you all, kind regards,
K & M Bowler
Dear Lou,
I just want to thank you again for your work and dedication to selling our house in Flemington. We have been very impressed with your professionalism and absolute commitment to achieving an amazing outcome for us on the sale.
From the outset of the negotiation process you represented your business with knowledge and a high level of customer service. You leveraged your consistent results on similar properties and extensive experience in the local area, as well as your flexibility to provide a competitive fee structure, to create a very compelling reason to sign with you over and above other agents in the area.
Once we had signed, we felt confident that you were managing our interests with a balanced view to the market. You didn't over promise and under deliver, rather you gave us frequent and realistic information and advice to help us throughout the selling process. We also appreciated that you managed our relationship from a distance with us being in Sydney and never felt that we missed your personal attention to our campaign.
The final sale price you achieved for us far exceeded our expectations and we felt this was clear evidence of your skill as an agent as well your experience and understanding of the local market and the types of buyers it attracts. The fact that you were able to sell our house significantly above our reserve within a week of the first open illustrates why Rendina real estate is so successful.
With this being now the 4th time we have done business with Rendina either through buying or selling property over the last 10 years, I would now unequivocally recommend you and your team to anyone looking to buy or sell in the area.
Bronwyn and Simon Thomas
I just wanted to drop you an e-mail to say thank-you for everything throughout the process of purchasing my first home. It has been an absolute pleasure to have had the opportunity to deal with you and Rendina Real Estate. Should any of my friends be looking to buy in the area at any point in the future, I would definitely recommend that they come and speak with you.Thank you again.PS - Thanks also for the gift. It was an unexpected surprise...no doubt it'll come in handy too.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the expert way you handled the sale of our property. We were impressed with the way you communicated with us in regards to people going through the property, your polite demeanour and your skills in obtaining us a good price.
So thanks again and we are sure with your calm and easy approach, you will have many successes.
Yours thankfully,
A & M Carabott
Regarding - Nathan Collyer
We would like to extend our appreciation and gratitude to you, and in particular, Nathan.
We have found Nathan to be professional, courteous, and overt. Nathan was personal to our needs and we cannot speak highly enough of him and would recommend him to anyone wishing to sell their property.
We appreciate the efforts of yourself and your team, as a team is only as good as its leader.
Thank you Lou and Nathan.
P & F Johnson
I wish to write to you and personally thank all the staff at Rendina Real Estate for the recent sale of both my properties at Fairbairn Dve, Kensington & Holmes Rd, Moonee Ponds.
After reviewing the market, it became clear that Rendina was the clear choice in the Kensington and Moonee Ponds area. I was delighted on the prices Rendina achieved, exceeding my reserve in excess of $50,000 on both properties. The attention to detail, close consultation and professional service made the entire process very comfortable and very rewarding.
I have bought and sold in the local area many times in the past with a variety of results but i know i can trust you to always return a successful result. Thank you once again and i look forward to future dealings with your agency.Yours sincerely,D Michelsen
Just a short note to thank you and your Company for the way my wife and I were treated during the purchase of our property at Maribyrnong.When I picked up the keys at your office after settlement, I was handed a gift and a thank you card for purchasing from Rendina Real Estate. I must say I was actually "stuck for words" at the kindness of receiving a card and a gift.During the period before settlement, on many occasions, I needed to ask for assistance and found that at all times i was treated with special care and attention, the customer service provided by your team was exceptional. I found your honesty and professional ethics to be of a very high standard.Again, thank you for your assistance and I commend your company for employing young professionals.
Sincerely Yours,J. Leonello
I would like to personally thank the staff at Rendina Real Estate for selling my home.
I can only highly recommend the Rendina team. It has been a tough time for my family over the last few months and I found that Rendina understood that and took special effort to go out of their way.
Selling our home on the auction day was a relief and the advice that I had received up until auction day was outstanding, which left me feeling comfortable and informed at all times.
I would have no hesitations recommending the Rendina Team and their service to anyone in the future.Yours sincerely,
M WeinsteinFlemington
To the staff at Rendina Real Estate,
Thank you very much for your help with finding us the perfect home! We are very excited and are looking forward to moving in. We really appreciate the fact that you only showed us properties that matched our criteria. I'm sure you know there are many cowboys out there and they unfortunately tried to sell us properties we were not interested in.Kind regards,
F. McAllister
Dear Nathan,Just a quick note to let you know how happy we are with your professional approach to selling real estate.Being both on the selling and buying side you made our experience quite easy and as painless as one can expect when dealing with $$$.Your understading and unique ability to see a genuine buyer should be quite rewarding for your future.Nathan, do not hesitate to use me as a reference when and if you ever need one.I wish you all the best for the future,

Special thank you to the Rendina Real Estate Team - Re. Sale of our property in Albermarle St, Kensington
The purpose of this letter is to thank the Rendina Real Estate team for the very successful sale of our Kensington property. We believe the lead up to the auction provided interested buyers with an in-depth understanding of the Kensington Village and its potential for the future, and in turn enabling us to obtain the very good price for our Kensington property.
The auction itself was a great experience for us with the Rendina team providing us with great support both before and after the auction. Once again, thanks to all at Rendina and a special mention to Lou for a job well done.
J & A Clarke
My wife and I, would like to send you this short email to express our delight and appreciation for the excellent job you have done for us in the sale of our new property at Lakeside Cres, Edgewater (Maribyrnong).
You have made the whole process a pleasant experience for us and your service courteous and very professional.
We are delighted with the price you have negotiated for us and in such an extremely short timeframe.
We are very happy and we thank you again.
Best regards
Tom Mascaro
When making the decision to sell our house selecting Rendina was a simple choice as whenever driving through the Kensington area the Rendina brand was prominent and seemed to be selling 90% of the properties in the area. Our initial meeting was with Nathan Colleyer and Lou Rendina. We had asked for Nathan as we had seen that he had his name on almost every sign in the area which meant he had a strong customer base. The meeting was conducted extremely professionally and plenty of research had gone into the presentation. After the meeting we had no hesitation in signing up with Nathan and Redina Real Estate as we knew that they would make every effort to achieve the best result.
Right from the beginning we found Nathan to be positive, informative and proactive in the sale of our home. Once we had officially set the auction date things started to move quickly and with approximately 1 - 2 weeks of setting the auction date the first offer came in. The period from the first offer through to the final offer was about 2 1/2 days and throughout this time Nathan worked extremely hard for us in securing a successful outcome. We were impressed with his dedication through out the campaign. He regularly organized meetings with us after hours, as well as regularly showing people through on different nights during the week. After receiving our first offer at no stage did we feel pressured into accepting the offer or did Nathan try to sway as in a particular direction.
Finally we would have no hesitations in recommending Nathan to anybody who looking to sell their house. His commitment, service and professionalism has allowed us to receive results we doubt we could have got elsewhere.
Lauren C and Mark V
Hi Nathan, I had wanted to pass on my most sincere thanks for assisting me with the purchase of my first home in Rankins Rd, Kensington. Throughout the process, I could not have faulted the way in which you went about your job. I had initially contacted you about a flat in Flemington as I was interested in knowing the price at which it had been sold and to see if there were any other similar properties in the area that matched what I was looking for. After carefully listening and obviously noting my needs, you proceeded to show me two properties that came very close to what I was looking for and not long after - the perfect place! This was brilliant as I managed to secure the property, before the property was advertised.Inspections were able to be set at times that were convenient, I never felt pressured, and my queries were well researched. This was all very refreshing, especially as your local competitors often did not return my calls, answer my queries and persisted on showing me through properties that clearly did not match my requirements or likes. What can be a draining, frustrating and lengthy period - you made simple, easy and I could not be happier with my purchase.I sincerely apologise for not thanking you sooner. I have recommended you and your agency to numerous friends and family who have expressed interest in the area so I hope that you do hear from them. I wish you all the success in your role for the future!Best regards and thanks again,
C. Ibbs
In purchasing our house through Rendina Real Estate, we found Lou Rendina extremely helpful.
His professional, but personable attitude was a pleasant surprise and we found ourselves constantly being kept up to date regarding the purchase of our house.
His customer service is excellent and we felt we, as the customer, were his top priority, and meeting our needs was in the forefront of his mind. I would not hesitate in recommending him to others.S. Peebles
Regarding our property in Cakebread Mews, Kensington
We are writing to express our thanks for your efforts and Nathan Collyer's efforts in selling our property. We really appreciate your work in achieving the sales result we were after in what was a challenging auction.
We would also like to acknowledge the professionalism of Nathan who at all times during the selling process was enthusiastic, kept us informed and was friendly and approachable.
Thanks again to the Rendina team and we wish you all the very best for the future.
Yours sincerely,
A. Baker & F. Baker
In May we engaged Rendina Real Estate to sell our Kensington property. We were impressed by the team approach of the sales department, presenting a professional group of agents with a diverse range of expertise to ensure a successful outcome for the vendor.
We would personally like to thank Nathan Collyer for his professionalism, honesty and commitment to providing superior customer service. Nathan was easily reached and followed through with tasks, he provided regular information with regards to potential buyers and level of interest in the property. Nathan provided honest contributions and insight based on his knowledge of real estate potential in the area and worked with us to promote the successful sale of our property.
With the team at Rendina we achieved an excellent outcome, which exceeded our expectations. I have no hesitation in recommending Rendina Real Estate.
E&D Warren
Recently we have had dealings with Mr Nathan Collyer of Rendina Real Estate in Kensington. Initial contact was made through chance and led to the purchase of a highly sought after property. This led to the selling of our existing property in the same complex.
Nathan handled both the purchase and sale process with enthusiasm and we found our dealings with him to be honest, accurate and relevant.
We believe his professionalism and attention to detail in both transactions enabled us to buy for a realistic and manageable price whilst achieving a sale price above the reserve for our existing property.
We have no hesitation in recommending Nathan to any potential buyer or seller who may wish to utilise his services.
Neil & Joan H
Dear Nathan
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the professional way you marketed & sold our property. The price you achieved was way above our expectations, but in line with your calculations. Prior to the auction, you kept us informed after each open day & of the offers from prospective buyers, however your advise to wait & go to auction, achieved a great result for us.
I would have no hesitation recommending you & Rendina for any future business.
D & A Conners
We were very happy with the auction result - certainly exceeded my expectation!
Many thanks for the advice you gave me, regular updates provided & reassurances! I also just want to mention your secretary (Olivia) - a couple of times that I called the office, she knew exactly who I was and that I lived in the UK and thus aware of the time difference & difficulty in communicating by phone. That level of service is hard to come by."I was very happy with the service provided by Lou Rendina for the sale of my property in Flemington. As I'm based in the UK, I relied quite heavily on the advice provided by Lou on the current market conditions in Melbourne and choice of marketing campaign.
Lou's advice turned out to be spot-on and thanks to his work during the campaign, the sale price achieved was above my expectations. I would certainly recommend Lou and Rendina Real Estate to others."
Dear Rendina,
Thank you for selling our property in such a short period of time and at a reasonable price given the current economic conditions. We were very impressed with you professionalism in our dealings. We were kept informed every step of the way in regards to buyer's details, opening times and results of the opens. Your enthusiasm and earnest to get us the best possible prices was much appreciated.
The signing of the contract was made easy when you came all the way from Kensington to Mount Waverly on a late evening. You have made the selling of our property a stress free ordeal and I highly recommend you to anyone wanting to sell his or her property. A good agent is one who gets on with it and seizes the opportunity to corner the buyer whnever possible and you have definitely demonstrated your ability to hold on to buyers and make them pay a better price.
Thanks again for your assistance.
Mount Waverley
Dear Nathan,
I am writing to thank you so much for your outstanding service while selling my apartment, Howlett Street, Kensington.
After my experience when I purchased the property though you 3 1/2 years ago, (which I have never forgotten and comment regularly on to friends and family), I had no hesitation or doubt listing my property exclusively with you when I decided to sell and move overseas.
Nathan, you provide such a positive, dedicated, friendly & professional service and the experience of selling with you was outstanding, I am very grateful, for not only the outcome, but for the whole process and how you took me through it.
You are a genuine professional who is naturally friendly and non-intrusive with your deadlines, and that is a rare mix in any industry. As is your skill of managing expectations - say what you do and do what you say - a simple phrase, but so important, and you managed my expectations perfectly which kept me calm and happy throughout the whole process. You also kept me up to date with all the information I needed, I never felt like I did not know what was going on, but as importantly I never felt like you were communicating with me just so you could tick me off your list for the day.
You know the area, and the interested buyers you have are also genuine, again, so important it is not about quantity it is about quality and you certainly have a talent for matching buyers and property.
I also want to comment on the extra effort you also put in after hours, you really work for the sellers and buyers and are so accommodating, some Sundays and long weekends, it is ok to turn your phone off!!!
Nathan, sincerely, thank you, as mentioned, not just for the great outcome, but for the whole process - it is truly appreciated.
Take care, I wish you all the best for the future, and congratulations to the lucky people who enlist your time when selling real estate.
Warm regards,
Kirstin M
"The service provided by Nathan Collyer of Rendina Real Estate, well exceeded my expectations. Regular updates at varying times from 'open for inspections' to general enquires provided me with a high degree of comfort. Nathans knowledge and market understanding provided me with further insight towards selling my home. When selling a home constant contact with the Sales Executive is of high importance to me which Rendina exceeded".
Trevor A
This is just a short note to thank you and Lou for an outstanding result in the sale of our property in Banchory St Essendon. I have appreciated the way that you have provided frequent and clear feedback regarding potential purchaser attitudes, and general advice regarding the sale process.
We had the added difficulty of selling a house with an existing lease. You have managed the relationship with the tenants to ensure that they participated in the open for inspections that enabled the property to be presented in the best possible condition.
When we first met I set you and Lou a "Stretch Objective" for that sale price. I did not expect it to be achieved. That the Rendina team exceeded that objective is a credit to you through out the sales campaign, and Lou as the Auctioneer.
I would have no hesitation using Rendina Real Estate in the future, or recommending Rendina to friends and family.
Peter W
"I met with five agents initially and selected Nathan because of his auction results and more importantly because of the professionalism he exhibited."
"We had five months wasted by the previous agents. Nathan was then appointed. He was inventive, consistent and always gave regular updates."
"Nathan's professional approach and conduct of business before, during and after the sale was truly outstanding.'
"We were delighted will the result on auction day. It truly surpassed our expectations. Thank you Nathan for being professional, courteous and enthusiastic throughout the whole process."
"Whilst the market at present has proven to be difficult for those like us selling properties, we can rest assured that the price we received on auction day was all due purely to the application of Nathan's market knowledge and his commitment to achieving the best possible result."
"Thank you for your guidance and sound advice. Your professionalism, enthusiasm and honesty ensured us a quick and successful result."
"I would like to thank Nathan on his excellent customer service skills during the sale of my property. He was always professional and extremely helpful."
M. Partridge
"Nathan was very professional and well prepared from the very beginning. I have no hesitation in recommending him to my neighbours and friends."
"We could not be more pleased with the professionalism and expertise that Nathan showed in handling the sale of our property."
"Nathan did an exceptional job in looking after me during the weeks prior to the auction and the result was proof enough that all the necessary groundwork was done."
Dear Richard Rendina,
This is to thank you for your superlative and successful effort on our behalf during the past 12 months. That time has co-incided with the most difficult property market in Melbourne that I can remember since I bought my first property in 1975. In that time you have sold not one but two properties for us- a town house in Ascot Vale and a Victorian house in Moonee Ponds. In both cases other agents had tried and failed before we turned to you - and you did not let us down.
Any agent can sell a property in a hot market but a hot market in Melbourne is now a distant memory. A former US president once said "when the going gets tough, the tough get going". You did get going and got for us the results we needed.
Thanks again

"Selling the family home in uncertain economic times was never going to be a straight-forward exercise". "Choosing a competent real estate agent with a proven track record can certainly ease the pain". These were the words of Kensington resident Don Walsgott, following the successful sale of his property last week by Richard Rendina of Rendina Real Estate, following a 5 week sales campaign.
"From the day I walked into their office in Macaulay Road, through until the Contract of Sale document was signed, Richard Rendina made the project as stress-free as possible for me," Don added.
"Richard's attention to detail, his presentation and courteous manner, and timely execution of return phone calls, house visits and document preparation took much of the stress away from the exercise for me", Don said. "It let me get on with my life whilst they got on with the job of selling my home". "In fact, I went on holiday during the campaign", Don added.
"In my retirement, I am now downsizing to a smaller, manageable place" Don said. "Prior to, and following the execution of the sale, Richard also assisted me with helpful advice on how to prepare my home for sale, and how to deal with an excess of furniture following the sale."
We would like to thank you, along with the Rendina team, for your fantastic work in assisting us with the sale of our home inAthol Street, Moonee Ponds. While we initially had very little experience with property sales, you certainly made us feel at ease with your high level of integrity and professional approach throughout the duration of the campaign.
The staff maintained continuous contact with us and kept us well informed on the progress of the campaign. Their reliability and proficiency should certainly be acknowledged, and we always felt confident and assured that our property was being dealt with in the right hands. We trust that the potential buyers also felt at ease with the staff's honesty, professionalism and high level of interaction.
We were all very impressed with the way the auction was conducted on the day. The turnout amazed us all and your level of commitment and excitement left us all on the edge of our seats in anticipation. It is fair to say that the final result exceeded our expectations and we are ecstatic. We have you and the Rendina team to thank for our success. Your efforts and dedication will always be remembered.
On behalf of the extended family, we are proud to have had the pleasure of being represented by the Rendina team, who always had our best interests at heart. The level of excellence and competence displayed has certainly been recognised, and we will most definitely be recommending you to prospective vendors and buyers in the future.
Thanks again,
Elizabeth F. and Extended Family
I feel lucky that I made a wise decision to choose Rendina to be my selling agent when there are so many choices out there to sell a house.
When we met Aaron for the first time we were already impressed by the information pack he showed us, which is tailored-designed for each individual property Rendina is to sell for their clients. By carrying out the advertising strategy Aaron proposed, and by following his advice on how to promote the image of our house, the property got presented to it's full potential in a way most attractive to buyers.
Throughout the whole process Aaron has been keeping us updated on progress and seeking our instructions/intentions. After only one single inspection we recieved a satisfying offer, and Aaron with his experience and skills, made his greatest effort to achieve a selling price that is outstanding in the local area to make the deal happen. Unbelieveably, it only took us less than 3 weeks to sell the house!
Dear Aaron,
We would like to take the opportunity to say thank you for your involvement in the sale of our home.
We are delighted with the result and have nothing but praise for the professionalism of the Rendina team.
In particular, in our dealings with you, we have found you to be honest and open at all times. The lines of communication were excellent, as was the feedback we would receive after the inspections.
We found you to be friendly, enthusiastic and pleasant to deal with. With this being our first auction experience, you have been nothing but supportive and encouraging. You have been happy to answer our numerous questions and would diligently follow up any queries, both from ourselves or potential purchasers.
You advice has been thoughtful and we have been very impressed with the overall experience.
We would not hesitate to recommend both yourself and the Rendina company to others.
Once again, many thanks.

To Aaron Spiteri
From the time of listing the property to the auction day your communication with us and the potential buyers was first class, your ideas of presentation and staging the property made a huge difference, your positive energy made the our whole experience enjoyable, your follow up and negotiation to the buyers is exactly what was needed to achieve the great result. My wife and I would not hesitate to employ you and Rendina to market and sell another property or to recommend family and friends.
Nino Catoggio
Right from the first property inspection, Aaron Spiteri demonstrated a totally professional and energetic attitude.
He was at all times prepared to go that little bit extra to ensure our property was marketed in the best possible manner. He was always well prepared and punctual in conducting inspection openings and on every occasion communicated with us immediately afterwards. His strategy in bringing the sale to fruition was an excellent one and proved an outstanding success so we were very pleased with the outcome and the price achieved.
Altogether, we could not be happier with Aaron and Rendina Real Estate and we would definitely endorse and recommend them to anyone considering a future sale.
Regards and thanks again Ven and Irv Newton
Dear Aaron and Lou
I would like to take this opportunity to say that the quality of service offered by the staff at Rendina Real Estate in particular Aaron, has been highly impressive. Every aspect of your service has been beyond reproach and every member of staff has been courteous, polite and reliable. Michael and I wanted to say that we are continually impressed by the excellent service that Rendina Real Estate provides. We have no problems at all recommending your business to our friends and families.
Warmest regards Michael and Maria Sara
I would like say thank you for your involvement in the sale of my home.
I am delighted with the result and have nothing but praise for the professionalism of the Rendina team.
I have found you to be friendly and pleasant to deal with, your enthusiasm and work ethic was second to none. I have bought and sold many properties and your knowledge of the buyer's confidence on Auction day helped to exceed price expectation. You made me feel involved every step of the way and have been happy to answer numerous questions and would diligently follow up any queries, both from me or potential purchasers.
Your advice has been thoughtful and i have been very impressed with the overall experience.
I would not hesitate to use you and Rendina Real Estate again and recommend you to others.

During the selling campaign of the property in Aberdeen Street Aberfeldie, Aaron Spiteri maintained a high standard of professionalism. He answered all questions I had about the property thoroughly, confidently and honestly.
He kept me informed with the progress of the sale campaign through regular emails and phone calls. He greeted me with a smile on all four occasions of my inspection attendances. He even organised a private viewing for my son and I outside the set 'open for inspection' times, which I much appreciated. Aaron's warm, friendly nature is to be commended.
It is for this reason and the above mentioned that I would recommend his services to prospective buyers and vendors.
Yours sincerely
Agatha D'Elia
Aaron, I would like to take this opportunity to say that your service, professionalism and work ethic was very impressive.
I had lost all hope on selling this property, but your positive energy and willingness to work harder than the rest has given me a fantastic result.
I would not hesitate to refer any of my friends or family to you and Rendina Real Estate.
Kind regards

I was referred by a good friend who had dealt with Aaron previously; I got in a local agent before Aaron to give me an idea of value and marketing proposal. The professionalism Aaron showed was far superior to the agent that came through, he outlined a detailed game plan in the way we would attack the market and during the campaign his feedback including detailed weekly reports kept me informed and up to date with the sale, which made my decision on reserve price an educated one.
Aaron sold the property before auction and above expectation. He phoned me at 10pm after he finally closed the deal which outlined his work ethic and determination.
I will be a repeat client.
Dan Connors
Aaron is very kind and nice person and he was easy and fun to work with. He helped me with my first home, gave me a lot of insight about how to buy the house and explained the whole process gave me knowledge and taught me what I need to do next.
He is very Initiative, independent and has great communication skills. He was always quick to reply to my message or phone calls, even my broker said I was very lucky to meet and work with Aaron.
I chose Aaron because he sold another property for me and did an outstanding job. With this property, it had become vacant and started to become a liability. There were about 7 other apartments for sale in the block at the same time.
Aaron made my property really stand out from the others with hire furniture and top photography and an aggressive marketing campaign.
Aaron managed to get an offer and negotiate up another $20,000 to get me a price I was happy with and selling after only 2 weeks on the market!
The quick sale allowed me to move on, with a highest possible price with the lowest amount of stress.

I assume Al Davis's cancer is smoking related. I can't help but wonder at a younger age and still smoking, how he would have felt about the ban? I disagree with his display in the context it was presented but anti-smoking ads on t.v. do as much. Displaying diseased body parts, ughg. The campaigns try to deter teen smoking, a message the teen council says it supports. I'm confused, why not support the ban? The teens use the logic taught to them by their teachers, please everyone. Civil liberties. Sorry, life isn't fair, you can't do that.
Try this big picture. A family goes to the beach. The non-smoking half is full, the smoking half has room. Do you:
1. Move to the smoking half and hope you're not soon surrounded by smokers or
2. Go home and write a nasty letter to the Gabber?
Let's talk civil liberties, I have the liberty to carry a gun but not on a public beach. If it were to go off I would endanger those around me. That's a take on second hand smoke, your cigarette might endanger me.
Yes,the teen council "got a good lesson in government" that night. They have a second chance, start investigating the "wet area" idea. When will that hit council chambers? Get crackin' kids.
Just saying.

Bottega Veneta perfume has style, sophistication and a note of modern women. My first iimpression was the warm leathery intertwining note reminding the craftsmanship that created in their leather goods. The softness of it honey note blends with leather harmoniously. Bottega Veneta is a scent that seductively hypnotized anyone around you . .

Tent City for the homeless
- Views 0
- Likes 0
"Tent City" gives homeless people in Las Cruces a place to live, and with an extension they won't shut down at the end of the month.
The area where "tent city" is set up is not zoned for camping. The city council decided the camp can stay up while they are in the process of rezoning.
Community of hope says this is a way to keep the homeless off the streets and out of trouble.
"It's something that affects all of the residents, and if they weren't able to be here and if we didn't have city support then homeless people would be back in the ditches. They'd be back sleeping out at the Rio Grande and in places where it's illegal," said Community of Hope official Nicole Martinez.
Community of hope is asking for donations such as sleeping bags, tents and other camping supplies as well as money to keep "Tent City" up and running.

While doing my research on mirrors and reflections in cinema for today's post, I read this wonderful article by David D. Robbins Jr. It is actually so good, that I decided to reblog it in full length. It covers usage of mirror as Accentuation, Falsity, Fractured Reality, Narcissism and Beauty, Relationship, Loneliness, Aesthetic, Illusion. All accompanied with images and explanations. I hope you'll like this arcticle as much as I did.
By David D. Robbins Jr. | The Fade Out
A mirror is more than just a reflection of ourselves when used well by a great director or cinematographer. It can be the ultimate doppelganger, a vision of the past, a remembrance of what we were. Aesthetically, it can make a small room feel much larger. Or it can accentuate relationships, parallels, and fragmentation. For Lewis Carroll's Alice, a mirror contained the possibility of a new world. It can suggest duplicity of character through the doubling of images, or it can multiply internal confusion, show arrogance, and highlight depravity. It can be a luxuriant, a seducer, or present an altered reality. In the hands of masters like Douglas Sirk, Martin Scorsese, Rainer Werner Fassbinder, John M. Stahl, Alfred Hitchcock, and Bernardo Bertolucci, it is a profound…

This is an interesting type of shot that I firstly noticed in Pulp Fiction. The camera focuses on characters' back while making the rest out of focus. That means we don't see the facial expressions (of our character in focus), we can't read any emotional cues from his face. Now, it's important to mention, that there is no counter-shot, we stay in this type of shot for the whole time – this builds a tension and bit of a drama.
Subconsciously you are asking yourself: Is he a good guy, bad guy? Is he harmless or threatening? You can guess by color and intonation in his voice, but still you are missing the visual cues.
The first example comes from introduction of Marsellus Wallace in Pulp Fiction. Since this is the first time we see his character, it's quite difficult to guess what type of character he is and thus for several minutes he remains covered in mystery for us.. And by the way, I think this is one of the keys to a good storytelling – lay out questions and hold viewer's curiosity as long as possible, reveal the answer (hopefully a surprising one and in a way that will be unexpected by the viewer), than lay out new questions and repeat the process…
The second example comes from Swedish movie Let the Right One In. We are in a classroom, where a policeman gives a short lecture. The only kid interacting with him is our main character Oskar. Again, his back are in focus, while everything else is out of focus. You would expect a rack focus on the policeman, or counter shot revealing the face of Oskar, but none of that happens.
Here this technique serves a different purpose, we saw his face already, so it's not a mystery any more. I think that in this case this simply helps to build a tension in the classroom. (Later on, you'll learn that Oskar gets often bullied.)
Do you know about any other examples? If yes, let me know, I'll be more than happy to add them here…

Just noticed in @edgarwright's Scott Pilgrim, @M_E_Winstead isnt actually opening a cabinet door, she just moves her hand across the screen.
The main action is happening between Paul Newman and Daniel Craig's characters, so it kinda makes sense to draw an "action line" between them and cover the scene from one side of the line. This way you'll avoid problems later in the editing.
From the picture above you can see, that most camera setups are located on the right side of the line. This side was probably chosen due to technical considerations (limitations of the location etc.)
The scene starts with a high angle master shot of all characters, this clearly shows where each character is seated. Now, we can freely cut to individual characters without confusing the viewer… unless we cut to the camera placed on the other side of the action line.
In the third shot the camera physically jumps to the other side of the line. However, it doesn't feel wrong. The reason is that you could get a similar shot while staying on the same side if you'd use a telephoto lens (instead of wide angle).
The next jump is between shots 4 and 5. In this case, the trick with longer focal length won't work anymore. You could eventually avoid this jump by making a new action line (right part of the picture above), but in this case I believe there is no reason to do that: There is almost no interaction between the two characters in the shot (this is basically a reaction shot), therefore the original action line remains the same (that is the one between Paul Newman and Daniel Craig's characters).
Cutting to the other side of action line feels usually very disruptive, but in this case it works fine. The previous shot is more than 13 seconds long, that's long enough to memorize where everybody is seated, so when we cut to the other side, we won't feel confused. This applies to reaction shots 6, 8, 16, 17 and 22 as well:
This scene is a beautiful example of jumping from one side of the action line to the other (and thus breaking the 180 degree rule), without making the viewer confused (which might be the intention in some cases).
I'd love to hear Sam Mendes talking this scene through in some audio commentary, particularly the last shot, where camera follows and keeps in focus Tom Hanks with Paul Newman, while making Daniel Craig's character increasingly out of focus…
P.S. Have you noticed the continuity error between shots 6 and 7?
In February I read a great analysis of camera movements in Francois Truffaut's The 400 Blows posted by digifruitella from filmschoolthrucommentaries. Particularly interesting was camera movement no. 6. It's a nice and surprising blend between character's subjective POV and our objective POV.
…is a nice blend of geography, and subjective shot. When Antoine walks into the room and it cuts to this, you have the camera slightly dollying and panning as if to show you the eyes and the physical movement of Antoine, before the shot goes from subjective (Antoine's eyes, and ours as an audience) to an objective one with him walking into a frame. Two birds with one stone…
Now, I noticed the same camera technique at the beginning of Skyfall directed by Sam Mendes. Traditionally, you would cut on the character, then to his POV and then back to the character (to make it clear that the shot in between is his POV). However this blend is much better, it's more effective. If you can say more than one thing in one camera movement (what the character sees, how he moves and where we are), than why not to do it?
Clearly, there were also other directors to use this technique – watch the video below:
Maybe it's just a coincidence that these directors used the same camera technique as Truffaut did, but maybe not. Maybe they know their stuff really well…:-)
