Selling Greenville SC Real Estate
Getting your Greater Greenville area home sold in today's real estate market takes a lot more than downloading your home into the local multiple listing system, banging a sign in the yard, and doing a few open houses. Unfortunately, this is exactly the marketing approach most agents take when handling the sale of the biggest asset most people have - their home. We think you deserve more. This is why we have designed an 89-Point Marketing Strategy that exposes your listing to the maximum amount of potential buyers, which results in more showings, and ultimately results in a faster sale and a better profits.
Our marketing strategy is proven… and I am confident that it will produce results for you, just like it did for many home owners all over the Greater Greenville area. Using this 89-Point strategy takes the guess work out of marketing your home… and selling your home should not be left up to chance.

Dilantha Gunawardana
Fingers wrapped in thread
And water dripping down the underside of palms
Two fibrous sculptures of bronze
In a promise to commemorate every second of pledged time
Like the tide that knows every ripple in every direction
Confluence of destinies
In the absence of the convergence of lips
Where sacred rights are entombed
In the security of trust and ownership
In the dearth of unholy ties
Man and woman, standing before one crossroad
To a destiny that matters only to two curious souls
Marooned by choice to each other's hearts
And before long clasped in lip and in bliss
As the music of the bodies rapture and enrapture
The primal grail of the human experience
Oh how potent is a paper advertisement
Fate's intervention to the fusion of two
As two souls stealthily surrender to each other's eyes
The first gaze as man and woman
With a pledge to endure beyond the palisades of time
An arranged marriage is not a makeshift destiny
but a leap of faith with an open heart
A narration of fate that supplants the mechanics of love
Where beyond the horizon is the cradle
Of finding each other, first in the merits of body
And then in the virtues of love
Love is a journey so is an arranged marriage
When clarity is a casualty, but faith lies on a podium
Where the heart gropes imprinted by first impressions
And lunges forward like a fencer battling fate
An arranged marriage, is but a sacrament of mystery
A journey with a lantern that will culminate in the brilliance of love

As for a lightsaber, I guess that's a cool gift but I think this is the wrong group of movies for that. I happen to be very fond of the two lightsabers I duel wield in SWTOR.
Definitely play the Romulan missions. I think they probably hold up as the closest thing to a TOR experience. Not quite but definitely like a classic Trek storyline for the most part. Almost fully voiced. A mission with two endings. Cut scenes. A melee brawl. A full city. Some classic Trek music. A non-combat pet that can be crafted into a combat pet.
Starts with "The Vault."

EAGE/AAPG Tight Reservoirs in the Middle East Call for Papers Expires in 117 days
Explorer Article
Distinguished Lecturer Steve Dorobek's Asia Pacific Region tour, originally slated for March, has been delayed until May – but the AAPG DL program will remain active in March with four speakers ready to tour.
Something to talk about: How do you respond when someone asks why oil prices are what they are? Some experts offer some words of advice.
Explorer Director's Corner
Last month I had the privilege of traveling to the Middle East with AAPG President Lee Krystinik.
Explorer Division Column EMD
Over the past year or so we have observed strong evidence that nuclear power is into a new expansion period.
Explorer Foundation Update
It has a new name, a new energy and a new lineup of experts, all primed to spread geoscience knowledge around the world. "It" is AAPG's newly named Global Distinguished Lecture Program – emphasis on the "global" – which dates back to 1941 but continues to be the Association's flagship initiative for offering the latest in geologic science to AAPG affiliated geological societies and universities.
Explorer President's Column
Explorer Regions and Sections
In an effort to continue serving the geosciences community in the Middle East, AAPG Middle East Region will be offering a number of Geosciences Technology Workshops (GTWs) where the attendees, practitioners and scientists will have an opportunity to discuss real cases, issues and experiences.
The first Geosciences Technology Workshop ever held in the Middle East Region proved to be an enormous success and a remarkable accomplishment for the geosciences community in the area.
Although historically focused on its birthplace in North America, AAPG is growing rapidly in several international locations, including one that is in the heart of the oil industry – the Middle East.
This workshop is the outgrowth of continued cooperation between AAPG & EAGE to develop a series of multi-disciplined gatherings dedicated to understanding, completing & producing tight sandstone & carbonate reservoirs.

OSSAs Financial Reports are available for review upon contacting OSSA at 503-364-4204.
Message from OSSA President,
Gilliam County Sheriff Gary Bettencourt
October, 2014 -- We are entering a very slippery slope in society when citizens thoughts wander to legalizing a drug for money, political gain and selfishness. Shame on the federal government for turning their heads, and not enforcing their own federal laws! On top of it all, U.S. Representative Earl Blumenauer wants us to stop educating our citizens on the ill effects of dangerous drugs. This is something we as Sheriffs, and nearly everybody else who cares about society, have been doing for years. Now, all of a sudden, it is misuse of federal grant dollars? Obviously, drug education doesnt solve all of our problems but its an important component that has saved lives from being wasted. This, arguably, could save more taxpayer dollars than stopping public education now.

Message from OSSA Executive Director,
Curry County Sheriff John Bishop
January, 2015 -- This is my first letter as the new Executive Director for the Oregon State Sheriffs Association. It has been a very busy fall. I jumped in with both feet on October 1st, and we havent looked back. The first priority was to get the Sheriffs Annual Conference in Bend planned and organized. The staff and I spent many long days getting all of the vendors, speakers, and logistics, coordinated. I am happy to report that with a lot of help from the staff and Deschutes County, we had one of the best conferences ever. During the conference, numerous items were covered regarding issues that occurred in 2014 and what the future will bring; awards were given to deputies, support staff, and Sheriffs for extraordinary work in 2014. More on this later on in this issue.

Arabian Sand Storm
June 19, 2013
A dense wall of dust barreled across the Arabian Peninsula on March 26-27, 2011. The massive storm stretches more than 500 kilometers (300 miles) across the peninsula, covering parts of Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Oman, and the United Arab Emirates.
This pair of images from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) shows the storm's progression in a 22-hour period. The MODIS sensor on NASA's Aqua satellite captured the top image on March 26, and MODIS on NASA's Terra satellite captured the bottom image on March 27.
On March 26, the storm stops short of Oman and Yemen, and the opaque mass of dust is bordered by crystal-clear skies to the south. Some plumes blow across the Persian Gulf toward Iran. The following day, the dust has moved southward, and is especially thick over Yemen.
According to local news reports, the storm started in the late afternoon on March 25 in Iraq and Kuwait. The fast-moving storm dropped visibility to near zero, cloaking Kuwait in premature darkness. The dust storm shut down the airport in Kuwait and disrupted traffic across the Arabian Peninsula.
Intense northwest winds called shamal winds drove the fast-moving storm. They blow in from the northwest with the passing of a storm with a strong cold front, which is the leading edge of a mass of cold air. In this case, the cold front was over Iraq. It brought winds greater than 50 kilometers per hour (30 miles per hour) to Kuwait and slightly weaker winds to the rest of the region.
The winds picked up dust and sand from Iraq and Kuwait and blew it across the peninsula. The storm may have also picked up material over the Empty Quarter (Rub' al Khali). An incredibly rich sand sea, the Empty Quarter contains about half as much sand as the Sahara Desert.

My college music teacher said the mark of a masterpiece is that we discover something new every time we encounter it. And what I discovered Friday night is how much Beethoven's Ninth Symphony has echoes of the previous eight.
I heard the noble, striding surge of his Fifth Symphony in the opening movement, the galloping rhythms of the seventh in the next section, the relaxed mellowness of the sixth in the dreamy adagio. (We seldom call Beethoven dreamy, but he can be.) Merry humor, inner turmoil, a call to our better natures – all of those are here. Music director Christopher Warren-Green gave them to us in a performance that changed moods many times before settling on a kind of holy frenzy in the "Ode to Joy."
He started with a lean, vigorous attack, charging into the piece as revisionist conductors have tended to do over the past 30 years. The second movement had a jubilant spirit but felt less fleet, and the Charlotte Symphony Orchestra responded to him: Previously insecure horns settled down; winds and strings sounded buoyant.
The adagio molto e cantabile – "very slow and songful" – was a total change of pace, so laid-back that it cast a pastoral spell as long as it cohered. (It didn't, always.) Like a man reluctant to leave a country lane for urban bustle, Warren-Green began the last movement by alternating fervor with slower interludes. The "Ode to Joy" theme appeared among lower strings as the faintest rumor of a melody, a spark of inspiration that built to a towering blaze.
Bass Dashon Burton, who stood out for his diction and intense delivery, sang the opening to this segment as a call to arms, urging spiritual brothers to march alongside him. (Tenor Christopher Pfund later shared this mood.) Warren-Green drove the soloists and the Oratorio Singers of Charlotte (who produced especially fine soft singing) forward with such zest that the Ode acquired a kind of wild religious ecstasy.
Friedrich Schiller's poem ends with the words "Do you sense your Creator, world? Seek him above in the tent of stars! Above the stars he must dwell." If the 200 people onstage at Belk Theater were headed for heaven, they clearly meant to ascend on a rocket.

By Edmund Blair NAIROBI (Reuters) - Governments and international organisations plan to meet in March to work out how to rebuild three West African nations whose economies have been shattered by Ebola, a U.N. envoy said on Thursday. The number of newly detected cases of Ebola virus infection has been dropping sharply in Sierra Leone, Guinea and Liberia in recent weeks. The World Bank in January projected they would lose $1.6 billion in income this year, over 12 percent of their combined economic output. "The plans at the moment are for a conference to look at the needs of reconstruction organised by the countries themselves, by the United Nations, by the African Union and by the European Union," said David Nabarro, the U.N. special envoy on Ebola.
LOS ANGELES (AP) — When the Los Angeles Lakers blew a nine-point lead in 70 seconds late in regulation, they certainly seemed to be careening straight toward another loss in overtime.
Apartheid death-squad leader Eugene de Kock, dubbed 'Prime Evil' for his role in the torture and murder of black South African activists in the 1980s and early 1990s, will learn on Friday whether he will be released on parole after 20 years in prison. Justice Minister Michael Masutha is due to announce his decision on de Kock's application for parole at 0730 GMT at a news conference in Pretoria. Masutha will also announce his decision on the medical parole application of right-wing politician Clive Derby-Lewis, who masterminded the 1993 assassination of South African Communist Party leader Chris Hani. As head of an apartheid counter-insurgency unit at Vlakplaas, a farm 20 km (15 miles) west of Pretoria, de Kock is believed to have been responsible for more atrocities than any other man in the efforts to preserve white rule.

Is Social Media Making Us Less Social?
Posted on December 22nd 2012
Is Social Media Making Us Less Social? We are increasingly being flooded – bombarded even – by news and information from an ever-increasing number of social media channels. Increasingly, news is coming to us through our friend and interest networks, via Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, and LinkedIn especially. Our cognitive powers in making sense of it, finding the signal within the noise, have never been more challenged.
Some people talk of information anywhere, anytime, but in fact, isn't it more a case of information everywhere all the time? You can't get away from it.
There was an article in the press recently querying: "Are you an "Infomaniac"?
According to the article:
- 34% check their smartphone after sex,
- 23% go on Twitter more than 10 times a day,
- 51% check social network sites at dinner,
- 62% use their phones while shopping and
- 42% will stop a conversation if their phone beeps.
One person was quoted: "Sometimes I wake up in the night and reach for my phone so I can do a Tweet".
And another: "I take pictures of my food, my feet….pretty much anything and post it online".
Yes, I think I'm following a few people like that, which reminds me I must do a bit of 'weeding' on my Twitter account!
Some other useful (?) statistics that seem to reinforce this sense of "information pervasiveness":
- The average Briton now has 26 Internet accounts for everything from email and bank services to online shopping, social media sites, Skype and Paypal.
- The average worker checks his email inbox 36 times every hour.
- 1 in 3 smartphone owners would rather give up sex than their mobile phone (Pew Research)
- 90% of 18 – 29 year olds say they will sleep wit their phone in or beside their bed (Pew Research)
- 1 in 10 say they are woken at least a few times per week by calls, texts or emails (Pew Research)
This all seems to reinforce the growing phenomenon of FOMO, pronounced FO-MO, meaning 'fear of missing out'. These people want or need to be connected to their email and social media channels 24 x 7. And apparently there is another new phobia you can add to the list of human paranoia - Nomophobia. It's the fear of losing your cell/mobile phone!
But whilst we complain about information overload and having no time to do the quality things in life, we are at the same time adding to the volume. Everyone has a voice and everyone wants to be heard. Which reminds me of the quote by Clay Shirky "publishing isn't a job any more, it's a button".
And if it's so easy to publish, it's even easier to share – just one click of a button and it's shared with all of your Facebook/Twitter/Google+ followers. And your network of friends and followers will in turn share with their networks. Tweets beget more tweets, which might stimulate new comments and new Tweets. And so it goes on. No wonder we're drowning in information, and social media has made it all so easy. But are we losing something in this morass of news and information, made possible by simple one-click interfaces and frictionless sharing?
I only realised through a conversation with a friend that her relationship with her now ex-boyfriend, was predicated on a whole new protocol of 'Unfriending' on Facebook. You no longer have to have a face-to-face discussion to end a relationship; it can all be done with a click of a button!
Perhaps this one-button-does-everything mentality that we're now so used to is making us less social and more insensitive to the feelings of others? We have a paradox where social media is reinforcing anti-social behaviour.
It will be interesting to see what 2013 brings in terms of new and shiny social media tools and social networks, but it doesn't take a philosopher to predict that the cycle of news and information propagation is going to get faster, more people are going to get connected to the Internet, more people will have a voice, and finding that signal amongst all of the noise is going to get that much harder.
Maybe we should think about what we're losing – the social skills that help us establish trust and understanding with our fellow human beings, and rediscovering those quality conversations. A New Year's resolution maybe?
Happy Christmas!
You're absolutely right..
A day in a restaurant I saw a Family : Dad with his BB , Mam with her Iphone and they did not talk..Nothing..the kids playing and only eating pizza..
Every time when I'm on the train or in some restaurant ,or just walk, I see (myself included) like people do not talk and just take pictures of the food....maybe I can understand when we are alone, but in company, as it is complicated..
I sad....but we live with this uh..
Great Article...Just Share It !
Merry Christmas !
Definitely agree with you.........................Excellent article.........
Advance new yeear wishes.........
Is Social Media making us less social? Yes, for offlline social life. There is a book called Alone Together by Sherry Turkle or you can watch her video here - http://www.ted.com/talks/sherry_turkle_alone_together.html
On February 23, 2014, 78% of Under-30 PopSavvy players say social media is making us less social. You ask if we're losing something as we all become 'infomaniacs'. We are losing our sense of social awareness. We seem more interested in the incoming text or call than we are in the person right in front of us. This has a consequence. We're not learning to 'read the room'. I believe those who 'stay present' are going to have a personal and professional advantage over those whose minds are always somewhere else.

This is a great bouldering area and I was always surprised it didn't get more use from St. Louis/Missouri climbers. I also think there is a faster way to get there. It is a little less direct but faster because I always found it tough to pass slow trucks on Hwy 21. From STL take I-55 S -> 67 South -> Hwy 32 West -> 21 South right to the park. |
By Joe Huggins From: Grand Junction Jul 28, 2009 |
Although it has been a few decades since Elephant Rocks was my main area, I have to agree with Joes' assertion as to the fastest route. It's nice to reminisce about the 70's when we would drive down from St.Louis before dawn, drop some 'cid and boulder at dawn...Good Times! |
By Chris Prewitt Oct 29, 2009 |
Looking back, I realize that climbers all over the country travel 1.5hrs to get to where they want to climb, TIA or STL. Only now I have to hike for at least 30 minutes. At E-rocks you trip over the curb and hit your head on a boulder problem. |
By Eero46 Aug 15, 2011 |
Why isn't this place more well known?! This place has the most potential out of anywhere in the Midwest. The biggest boulders are comparable to J tree. |
By ryanh0504 Oct 9, 2011 |
If there were more than 21 problems listed I would consider going here. |
By James Wieman From: Southern Utah Apr 4, 2012 |
Elephant rocks is the awesome and has hundreds of problems with potential for many more. A great guidebook for it is Sandstone Warrior, mainly covering bouldering in So. Illinois but includes many problems in Elephant Rocks |
By Paul Getzke From: Bloomington, mn May 22, 2014 |
Just the fact that John Gill put up problems at Elephant Rocks is reason enough to visit. I bouldered there about 30 years ago and still remember it as an outstanding place to climb. |

APTim Cook says that when Steve Jobs picked him to be CEO, Jobs said, "I never want you to ask what I would have done. Just do what's right."
This is a great quote, and a great guiding principle, but is really true?
For the most part, Apple today feels the same as it did when Jobs was alive and running the company. It still has, essentially, the same products at the same prices. It still has the same focus on, um, focus, and simplicity.
But below the surface, Cook has indeed followed Jobs' advice, and he has changed the company to fit his idea of what is right. We've assembled some of the biggest moves Cook has made as CEO to illustrate the changes.

According to the National Weather Service, a large bunker explosion occurred Monday night in Webster Parish, La., around 30 miles east of Shreveport. The event occurred near the border of the Camp Minden Army ammunition plant. "A large flash was observed," the Shreveport, La., National Weather Service reported. "[C]itizens were shaken out of bed and windows were shattered during the late night hours Oct. 15." The explosion occured shortly before 11:28 p.m.
The explosion sent a mystery object flying that was captured by radar in Shreveport. Speculation this morning focused on the possibilities of UFO's and meteors before the confirmation of the bunker explosion was released.
AccuWeather's Jesse Ferrell pulled some 3D radar images from GRLevelX software this morning of the "mystery object."
Above is a 3D image with the lower reflectivity colors transparent so you can see the most dense part of the object. Here's the same with the 25dBZ reflectivity level outlined (meaning that the "hollow" part is >25dBZ):
Remember we're using the software to "smooth" the data here. The actual data looks like this:
So you can see that, although we do have a few different horizontal layers we're looking at (the 2-D shots here are at 1.5 degrees elevation, where the signal was the strongest), clearly the software is estimating a spherical object by rounding off the corners (and in 3D mode, the strongest return (yellow) is blended out completely).
This was a significant object, showing up at a reflectivity of 42 dBZ (which would normally be "moderate rain") but it is also a very small object, when seen in comparison to the radar screen:
No injuries have been reported from the incident. The NWS also captured radar of the smoke plume from the explosion.
The first blizzard of 2015 for the eastern United States slammed areas from Long Island, New York, to Bangor, Maine, Monday into Tuesday.

Walnut Hill Farm at Elm Springs, LLC
Walnut Hill Farm, a healthy happy farm
By: Laura Cooper (Dec 30, 2009)
I live near this farm and pass it almost everyday. They have free ranging chickens and a movable chicken house tractor. The chicken house is moved every few days. It's so refreshing to see animals enjoying life in the way that they were intended. Those are the healthiest looking hens I've seen. This farm is clean and well kept, I would recommend that anyone purchase from them. I can promise you, you will never go back to store bought, that is for sure!!!

Samuelsson Not Ready So Let's Try…

The Wings have recalled forward Josh Langfeld from Grand Rapids and he'll play tonight against Minnesota. Mikael Samuelsson isn't ready yet to return from his pulled groin.There are a few of you who follow the Griffs (as I should). Please feel free to jump in with your opinions on this one, both on Langfeld's potential to contribute and the unfortunate shaft job Matt Ellis received...justly or not. Langfeld has 9 goals, 16 assists and 30 PIM on the year in Grand Rapids.

Collective Action in the Formation of Pre-Modern States
by Richard Blanton and Lane Fargher
Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN
Research over the past half-century has substantially increased the quantity and quality of information on the evolution of early complex societies. New methods and new discoveries have inspired anthropological archaeologists and other social scientists to rethink prevailing theories, which now seem excessively deterministic and unable to account for the role of human action in social change. The authors propose that the rational choice theory of collective action, especially as it has been developed by political scientists, is a fruitful new direction for theory-building that can overcome these limitations. This theory addresses the dilemma faced by any group attempting to build a complex society, namely, that the rational and self-interested behavior of social actors may limit the potential for collective action and group solidarity.
This book explores a collective action perspective on the formation of pre-modern states, but does not only promote a new mode of theoretical understanding. Rather, it subjects collective action theory to a methodologically rigorous evaluation using a systematic cross-cultural analysis of historical, ethnographic, and archaeological data drawn from a world-wide sample of societies. These data provide strong support for the theory while pointing the way to a more complex and nuanced approach to collective action, uniting theories of pre-modern and modern states.
