I have been working at Keller Williams as a contractor (more than a year)
The training that they give you is arguably some of the best in the business, from Ignite for new and transfer agents, to BOLD and Lead Gen 36:12:3 for those wanting to take their business to the next level. Company culture is amazing, agents always willing to help each other succeed.
Only thing that I could think of is an easier system for technology, and maybe lower office fees.

the tools available to new agents are great. Had a large amount of resources available to me and the community outreach was amazing.Cons
The company is willing to help with anything but not the other agents. They were more concerned about your numbers before associating with you.Advice to ManagementAdvice
stop looking at TOP performers and scoop up those new agents who need attention and guidance.

I'm so proud of our Eco-Reps! Today they rocked the Babson/GreenerU Eco-Rep symposium – they ran the ice-breaker for the whole group, gave two presentations, sponsored the composting for lunch and dinner AND had the best showing of any school! Here are some pictures:
Since today is the last day of Mass Car-Free Week, my fellow commuter rail travelers got a special peek at my Zero-Waste Challenge trash. We have now sent out invitations to lots of students and employees at Tufts encouraging them to try their own challenge. My colleague, Ann Greaney-Williams (also the Environmental Studies coordinator) is going to do it with her five-year old and her husband. And two other staff from OOS will be starting their challenge week on Monday – so you can join them too.
I did notice another unintended consequence – the Zero-Waste Challenge keeps your dietary indiscretions in full view – no more pretending you didn't eat that cookie or candy bar. I haven't decided if this is a good thing yet…
On another note, the other day I was reminded that there was life before disposable tissues and it's time to re-discover handkerchiefs! With so many awesome designs out there like these by Hank & Cheef, how can you resist buying one for every day of the week? If you don't want to buy anything you can make your own perfect ones with a sewing machine and a scrap of fabric. Or, if like me, the sewing machine won't be entering my life soon enough for my next bout of sniffles, check out this awesome blog on how to make simple, adorable, no-sew t-shirt tissues.
Maybe this is the solution to my cat's insistence on pulling my non-eco-friendly tissues out of my trash bin and chewing them to bits on the floor… (speaking of which – does that count as trash for this week if I used them last week?)
The Eco-Reps started their Zero-Waste Challenge Tuesday night and several of the OOS staff members are participating as well. What does this mean you ask? In a nutshell it means that for an entire week you don't throw anything in the trash – instead you carry it around with you in a clear plastic bag on the outside of your backpack (shocking, eh? Full rules here) or you recycle or compost it. The idea is that there is no "away" and how different would we act if we actually couldn't throw anything 'away'? It's quite an enlightening experience as you realize how many things have packaging and how hard it is to not generate trash.
As this is the fourth time I've done this exercise (it's always a great reminder about how much you can compost, recycle and reuse – especially after you've slipped back into some wasteful habits…*wink wink*), I knew that the hardest thing in the first couple days is to remember not to use the trash can. So… this time I borrowed a social marketing tool and created prompts. I also noticed last time that the most abundant item in my bag was q-tips, so I pledged to do without my morning ear-cleaning ritual (yes, yes, I know you're not supposed to – but it feels so goood!).
The interesting thing about this exercise is that you realize that there are actually lots of unintended positive consequences that stem from trying to not generate trash. For example, this morning I didn't have anything obvious in my fridge to bring for lunch, so I figured I'd just buy something. But then I thought of the potential dreaded take-out container – what if it wasn't recyclable?! So, instead I packed up a lunch of some tomato and kale soup I had been waiting to make taste good (right now, it just tastes healthy) and some brown rice I had cooked a few days ago and stored in the freezer. You can't really get more healthy a lunch than that can you? So, unintended consequence #1: healthy, home-made food saves money and promotes good eating.
Hannah's unintended consequence from her first foray into zero-waste challenges was that instead of throwing that extra bit of extra pasta into her pot last night (since the box was almost empty), she left it in the box – cooking only exactly the amount she needed for dinner. Therefore, unintended consequence #2: portion control and perhaps even preventing wasted food (if you, like me, have a tendency to forget about your leftovers…).
We will be posting more tips and discoveries as the week goes on. What about you? Do you think you could ever try the challenge – for one day, one week, one month?? (one of our Eco-Reps did it for 6 weeks when she was in high school!). If you want to join us on our adventure, we would love to hear about your experiences – please comment below!

(Los Alamitos, March 25, 2015) Dave E here. I was about to write about Monday's Council Meetings , but our Thursday columnist turned his piece in early, and I think he did a better job on one issue than I could. Stay tuned for my post on the rest of the meeting in a day or two.
by Highlands Guy I watched every minute of last night's City Council agenda item about the future of LATV3. I would like to say that I felt more positive at its conclusion, but that was not to be. I will attempt to offer my take on the discussion in a logical, coherent manner, but the banter on the dais was all over the board, so I may not hit the mark. The goal of Item 10A was to review and vote on a city expenditure for outside consultants to make sense of, perhaps, our cable channel(s) operations.
And while I respect the folks who lead the city and am not questioning their intelligence or good intentions, I think they missed the mark with this one. And I might add that this was the case with the past two or three sets of council members and city managers. I am still not positive what the end game is, but my impression is that my ($18,000) tax dollars will be paying for a Continue reading

HEALTH Many believe that a dog and a new baby cannot happily coexist, so therefore the dog has to go. This is not necessarily the case. A new baby does not mean you have to abandon your dog.
DOG TRAINING It's not enough to simply walk the dog through the front door and hope he will acclimate to his new surroundings; you have to teach him how to interact with the new people and items in his environment.
PET-NEWSWORTHY If you're considering adding a pet to your home in 2015, you're in very good company. As many as 71.4 million homes are expected to include a pet in 2015. According to the American Pet Product Association, pet families have increased from 56% of households in 1988 to 62% this year.

FIRST TIME OWNERS Congratulations! You've decided to bring a new little four-legger into your family's home. Now comes the big decision: should you get a dog or a cat? Here are a few things to consider as you make your decision.
HEALTHDog fighting used to be a sport meant to entertain police officers and firefighters, and was advertised in police gazettes. Now that numerous laws have been passed that make dog fighting illegal, the sport has simply gone underground.
DOG HEALTH Many new puppies are adopted throughout the year, especially around Holiday time. One responsibility most first time dog owners forget to take into account is the amount of veterinary care that is necessary in keeping your puppy happy and healthy!

excruciatingly squeaky floorboard in my new construction...
we have a VERY squeaky floorboard at the top of the stairs in our house. it's been there since the house was built 9 months ago and the builder said there's nothing he can do about it. he said there's no joist under that area to screw into. what can we do? it drives me up a wall. it's so loud and it's in a spot where everyone walks all the time!
What do you mean by " floor board "? Hardwood flooring? Why would you screw into a joist?
Most squeaks are caused by a poorly nailed subfloor
If it is hardwood flooring you may be able to shim, screw or glue from underneath. Remove a bit of drywall from below and see whats going on. Perhaps a trim screw ( very small head ) through the offending board and into the subfloor may work.
We just need a little more info.
yes, it's hardwood. i've seen this thing called the "squeak no more" but it only works if you have a joist below the squeaky board. other issue is that we have a stair runner that goes up the stairs and down the hallway and covers the squeaky area.
A squeak is usually the sub floor and not the hardwood. If you are sure it is the hardwood flooring and you have a runner then that is in your favor. A 2" trim screw will go through the nap in the runner, into the hardwood and subfloor. Drill a small pilot hole through the hardwood first so you don't split the hardwood. Make sure to drive the screw in just enough to get rid of squeak and not all the way through the hardwood. If you ever remove the runner you will have some small holes to putty. No big deal.
i don't know...it could be the subfloor. i was just saying that it squeaks when you step on a particular area of the hardwood floor.
I had that problem in my master bedroom. The whole floor squeaked horribly. I made the contractor cut the old subfloor out and glue and screw a new subfloor. Now its solid as a rock and quiet.
They're saying it can't be fixed because they don't want to do the work. Demand they fix it. Its not your responsibility to figure it out.
If it is the hardwood just do as I said above. If it is the subfloor it means a subfloor nail is going up and down in a joist causing the squeak. Do as above but you have to find the joist to screw into. The Contractor is just flat wrong. If there is a squeak and it is the subfloor, there is a joist.
Or go from underneath and glue and shim. Thats what I would do. Thats what the Contractor should do. Its an easy fix for a Contractor; a little drywall patching. To say there is nothing he can do is his way of saying he doesn't want to be bothered. Bother him!
If it's a prefinished floor and you have some or access to more, it is no big deal to take some out and get to the crux of the problem.
Should it be custom finished a good flooring company can do the same but more skill is required. Either way a pro can deal with it.
My guess is the contractor installed it and does not know what to do and is afraid (because it's out of pocket) to hire someone who can fix it.

I'm trying to deploy my first app on Heroku (rails 3). It works fine on my local server, but when I pushed it to Heroku and ran it, it crashes, giving a number of syntax errors. These are related to a collection of scopes I use like the one below:
scope :scored, lambda { |score = nil|
score.nil? ? {} : where('products.votes_count >= ?', score)
it produces errors of this form:
"syntax error, unexpected '=', expecting '|' "
"syntax error, unexpected '}', expecting kEND"
Why is this syntax making Heroku choke and how can I correct it? Thanks!
EDIT: I was using sqlite on my local machine and Heroku does not support that. Trying to make sure the db is properly configured for PG. I believe I have done that by specifying in the gemfile that sqlite only be used in development. Yet I still get these syntax errors, that interrupt even the db:migrate.
EDIT: So now it seems more likely that my scope syntax doesn't work in postgreSQL. Does anyone know how to convert this properly?

Intracom Telecom
Intracom Telecom, capitalizing on its system integration and operation capabilities for ICT infrastructure, has strategically positioned itself as a leading regional Cloud Enabler. In accordance with its "best-of-breed" technology integration approach, Intracom selected VMware vCloud Suite and vCloud Automation Center Development Kit, and took just three months to build and go-to-market with three public cloud services: VMs, storage, and backup as a service. Now Intracom can use a single platform to manage all the systems required for its many cloud services, and its IT team has the tools needed to rapidly develop and deliver new custom cloud services without any professional services help, and quickly onboard new customers.
"VMware was better than any other vendor at providing the extensibility features required by both our engineering approach and business vision, enabling us to rapidly develop and deploy new cloud services."
OEM Partner Intransa Bundles VMware Solutions to Provide End Users with Best-in-Class Video Surveillance Systems and Services
"Using the VMware product suite, we can give integrators the availability and configuration their customers need to meet the business requirements of mission-critical surveillance systems."
Iowa Workforce Development
Discover how Iowa Workforce Development's new virtualized desktops are easier and less expensive to maintain, more secure, and have enabled IWD to offer a richer menu of services.
"VMware View saves us money, and as a result—despite the budget cuts we've faced—we've been able to expand our services and help more Iowans than ever before."
Deploying a VMware private cloud to ensure high availability and quick recovery while reducing costs, lowering the burden on datacenter facilities and delivering a chargeback facility.
"Given its market-leading position and history of innovation, we chose VMware as our private cloud solutions partner. Working with them has been an exciting and rewarding experience."
Iskandar Regional Development Authority
VMware Infrastructure Has Greatly Improved System Reliability, Reduced Costs And It Staffing Requirements, And Freed Time And Money For Software Development
"VMware helped us reduce the support time and monitor and maintain the system at a central location using the vCenter Server. We now think 'virtual machine first whenever there is a new server to be installed. We also save time by provisioning new machines from template and save money by not having to purchase hardware."
Isuzu Ung Nguan Tai Group
With its VMware infrastructure in place, UNT has achieved some significant business benefits. These include enabling sales team members to work effectively anytime from any location. UNT has issued its salespeople with Apple iPads loaded with a VMware Horizon View client to give them access to centralized applications and data from any location.
"A salesperson can check customer details, place orders, and file service requests from their iPad..This means they can be more responsive and answer customer questions using the most up-to-date information available"
ITSAM in Sweden is an public sector organisation formed to provide IT support and services to educational establishments across 6 different municipalities. One of the main challenges they faced was having the ability to operate in such a large region. If a computer went down, they would send an engineer out to fix it, this proved to be very inefficient and costly. With unique desktops you get unique problems, so ITSAM implemented VMware View so that they could easily replicate desktops to hundreds of students. This has enabled their end users to access their desktops from any location at anytime. It has also enabled teachers to easily provide additional applications to support students that need extra tuition enabling the students to work on these from home. ITSAM have recently started a proof of concept with Horizon, to enable them to manage their applications more efficiently.
"The benefit to the end users is that they can access their own desktop from any client around the world, it does n't matter where they are. Also the school can make sure they provide the correct applications to the right students at all times."
Jenner & Block
Use VMware Infrastructure To Dramatically Consolidate Hosts While Beefing Up The Performance And Reliability Of Applications Like SQL Server
"This is a law firm, so most people here aren't concerned about how our IT infrastructure's set up. What they care about is, 'Is it up?' and 'Is it fast?' Since we've been running our key applications on VMware Infrastructure, the answer to those questions has basically been 'yes,' which makes our users—and us—very happy."
Join Experience S.A
JOIN is using a software-defined data center approach to deliver world-class 4G services and cloud infrastructure to customers, and VMware NSX is enabling the service provider to develop and scale new machine-to-machine (M2M), mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) and other enterprise cloud service offerings across the European continent.
"We were able to define the best possible infrastructure that would give us the means to provide robust and flexible services and to foster a flexible growth."
Kaneka Corporation
To support its global expansion, Japanese chemical manufacturer Kaneka Corporation decided to move to an integrated virtual IT infrastructure, managed via the VMware vCenter Operations Management Suite. Ongoing support from VMware consultants ensures any issues are rapidly resolved, while also helping to build the skills and knowledge of the company's own IT staff.
"Crucially, our own staff learned from working alongside VMware Professional Services, meaning that this project greatly improved their knowledge of virtualized systems"
Kaweah Delta Health Care District
Kaweah Delta Health Care District is using VMware to Dramatically Improve Availability and Run Tier 1, Mission-Critical Applications—Plus Create a New Revenue Stream
"We are moving as many of our mission-critical applications to the VMware environment as we can. I see VMware as our primary platform. It gives me peace of mind about availability and performance because it just works. I never have to deal with it. And the improved utilization helps control costs. These days, the first thing we ask a new software vendor is, 'Does it run on VMware?'"
Kent County Council
By moving to a virtualized desktop environment with VMware, Kent County Council is able to rapidly accelerate the migration of its 4,000 devices away from Microsoft XP – saving over £560,000 in the process and causing minimal disruption to staff . Its new virtual desktop environment has also enabled the council to reduce IT management overheads while providing new levels of mobility, flexibility, security and integration across different council departments, which delivers an enhanced service to the Kent community.
"VMware Horizon Suite will save us more than £2 million on hardware over the next three years through zero clients and lower powered machines; plus £160,000 in software rationalisation; and £560,000 in saved technician time for our Windows XP migration, and critically freeing our IT staff for more strategic work – such as management and web services - to enhance the all-round customer experience for the local community."
KGI Hong Kong
Deployed VMware technology to provide a more flexible, robust infrastructure that delivers the required system availability, scalability and performance.
"With the VMware platform, we can start new projects straight away ... we can now get new products to market 4 to 6 weeks faster." KGI Asia
Kindred Healthcare
Kindred Healthcare Continues Business Through Disaster
"As a healthcare provider, in the case of a disaster, it is of the utmost importance that Kindred Healthcare can continue to do business as usual. And that means making sure that our internal service providers can maintain operational readiness even during a disaster. We contract with SunGard to provide our IT staff with 250 offsite PCs in the case of a disaster. The hardware independence of VMware ACE gives our users seamless access to their specific 'Kindred tool set,' regardless of the x86 hardware SunGard provides us. Knowing our staff will be able to keep Kindred Healthcare doing business as usual, using their same day-to-day computing environment, is an enormous benefit."
KPIT Cummins
KPIT Cummins is India's leading technology solutions partner for global manufacturing corporations with special focus on Automotive, Energy & Utilities, Industrial Equipments, and Semiconductor industries. In 2012, KPIT Cummins concluded a service-transforming Private Cloud project. Using VCE's vBlock enabled KPIT to deploy a full-service Private Cloud with 100% Virtualisation of all applications. The project was so successful that KPIT expanded their virtualisation project to include end-users, enabling further IT initiatives such as BYOD. In these two videos, KPIT Cummins staff discuss why and how they implemented a Private Cloud solution, and how it is contributing to the success of their business.
"We have 100% production applications running on this private cloud, 100%. All business critical applications, everything is running on the cloud infrastructure."
Kraš d.d.
Kras dd, is a leading manufacturer of confectionery products in South East Europe. In early 2008, the project was initiated by replacing series of old computers. The aim was to reduce operating costs and simplify management of IT infrastructures through virtualization of desktop computers. By implementing VMware's virtualization solutions Kras created a series of improvements: reduced costs of replacing computers for more than 30 percent, while the costs of maintaining PCs fell by 70 percent. In addition, the increased productivity of IT departments and the general level of data security. Virtualization Kras has achieved significant energy and financial savings.
"We achieved an almost immediate response to business requests thanks to VMware. Less than two hours pass between the moment when we receive a request for a new computer and the moment when the new computer is fully functional. New computers are made fully operational up to ten times more quickly than before and maintenance costs have been cut by 70 percent. In addition, virtualization resulted in considerable energy savings and reduced our CO2 emissions by three and a half times, by which we joined the Green IT initiative."
Kronos Incorporated
Integrate VMware Infrastructure Into The Corporate Data Center And Hosting And Managed Services, Thereby Increasing Consolidation And Utilization Rates, Facilitating IT Management, Enhancing Application Performance, And Enabling Fast And Easy Deployment Of Windows Images On Virtual Machines
"Approximately 70 to 80 percent of our SQL and Oracle databases are running on VMware. Some of the databases in our virtual environment are fairly large—60 to 100 GB, and performance has been great. They're all running perfectly on VMware."
Kürt Zrt.
In 2010, KÜRT decided to offer its information security products also in the form of cloud-based services. The purpose of the project is to build a cloud which provides an advanced, scalable and secure environment for new and enhanced business services. Results achieved with VMware's solution: 2-3 times less hardware compared to an infrastructure built on physical servers, less operators and less energy needed, Ready-made functions for ensuring the uninterrupted availability of services provided to customers, Ready-made functions for measuring service consumption and for supporting billing, High availability, cost-efficient implementation of a disaster recovery site, Quick self-service provisioning of, development and test environments, Efficient vendor support, advantageous partner program
"The services we are about to introduce also incorporate academic knowledge, and security will be at the core of our VMware-based cloud infrastructure and its operation. This is what sets us apart from other similar service providers."

Laid to Rest - Burn and pull down five Effigies in Shanty Town. Lara will need to beat off an enemy attack after activating the Helicopter Hill base camp, because she needs the Fire Arrows (from the chopper) to set the effigies alight.

Just the leaves, please -- Mills Farms will try retail
- Michael Chatfield
(Page 4 of 4)
A pioneering, family-owned Monterey County produce company is branching out into consumer-direct retail products, hoping to expand on the mark it's already made in America's fast-food industry.
Salinas-based Mills Family Farms has developed its innovative Wholeaves lettuce and celery lines -- products that retain their flavor longer through a more labor-intensive preparation process -- in the crowded "value-added" produce field.
Mills Distributing, the original name of the firm founded by brothers Basil and Roger Mills in 1958, began as a marketing company, brokering the lettuce and row crops of Salinas Valley growers. The concept of branding these products to consumers was not yet a major consideration in the industry.
It was then a seasonal business, beginning in March with broccoli and continuing into December when the last head of cauliflower was sent on its way and winter rains turned the Salinas Valley from the Salad Bowl into the Mud Bowl. Year-round operations began in 1972, branching into the farming side of the produce industry via a deal with an Imperial Valley lettuce grower. The Mills Family Farms processing operation is physically relocated at the end of each November to Brawley, an Imperial County city, where produce grown in nearby Yuma, Ariz., is packed.
The next logical step was the acquisition of farm land, and the brothers began buying ranches in the 1980s. The company now holds 1,600 acres of productive agricultural land. Together with leased property, Mills Family Farms grows, harvests, processes and ships product from 14,000 "crop acres" annually. A crop acre is the term used to describe the production capacity of a unit of land, based on the number of crops that can be harvested in a growing season. Three harvests on one acre equates to three crop acres.
About 20 commodities -- quintessential Salinas Valley products such as lettuces, snow peas, cilantro, bok choy, spinach and endive -- are sold by Mills Family Farms. All told, more than 10 million cartons of produce pass through the company's distribution chain annually.
As a private company, Mills Family Farms chooses not to divulge sales figures. But inferences can be made from wholesale prices of selected lettuce products. This month, "naked" or unwrapped, unprocessed Iceberg lettuce was selling on the spot market for between $5.25 and $6.25 per carton, and a carton of 24 heads of Romaine was selling in the $5 range. Products similar to Mills Wholeaves were selling at around $12 per carton.
A variety of brand names including Classy, Boss, Avalanche, Touch of Class and the eponymous Mills Family Farms are utilized. But most consumers would have a difficult time identifying with those brands, as they have been targeted to the food service industry and the bulk produce market. But that is changing. As the produce industry evolves, the current buzz word is "value added."
The U.S. Department of Agriculture defines value added produce as: a change in the physical state or form of the product (such as milling wheat into flour or making strawberries into jam); the production of a product in a manner that enhances its value, as demonstrated through a business plan (such as organically produced products) and the physical segregation of an agricultural commodity or product in a manner that results in the enhancement of the value of that commodity or product (such as an identity-preserved marketing system). This definition includes -- but is not limited to -- the pre-mixed, bagged salads introduced by another Salinas firm, Fresh Express, that have revolutionized the produce industry and found a strong niche among today's time-strapped, convenience-oriented consumer.
The value-added concept inspired Wholeaves, a product that Mills executives believe is poised to become a big force in the retail market.
Dave Mills, Basil Mills' son, is Mills Family Farms' senior vice president of sales and marketing. Searching for a man more passionate about lettuce would be a fool's errand. His eyes light up when he describes the labor-intensive process used to bring Wholeaves to market.
Wholeaves were the brainchild of innovator and Salinas legend, the late Jake Hougham. One day while waiting in his truck outside a convenience store, "a Ziploc baggie of lettuce landed in my lap," Dave Mills recalls. Mr. Hougham leaned in and told him to put it in his refrigerator and call in three weeks. Long after regular lettuce would have wilted into inedibility, Mr. Hougham's bag of greens "was gorgeous," says Dave Mills. The Mills family struck a deal with Hougham to license the technology and began marketing the product to food service customers.
Wholeaves are just that -- whole leaves of Romaine, green leaf and red leaf lettuces that have been separated from their heads by hand, sorted by size, washed and packaged. The leaves are ready to use, and hand separation gives the product a significantly longer shelf life than lettuces cut by mechanical means. In essence, the lettuce is fooled into believing that it is still alive and unharmed, so the plant does not secrete a chemical that causes the cut edge to obtain the reddish discoloration found in less-pampered produce. Celery is processed in a similar manner.
The Wholeaves processing plant is an efficient blend of mechanical and human effort. Custom-built, proprietary stainless-steel equipment is fed on one end by bins full of still-warm-from-the-sun lettuce. The end product is box upon box of perfectly stacked and sorted lettuce leaves, ready to be placed on a sandwich with no further preparation whatsoever.
One of the first national restaurant chains to see the potential of Wholeaves -- known in the trade by the generic term "green leaf filets" -- is roast beef sandwich seller Arby's.
Bob Berman, Arby's manager of quality assurance and regulatory affairs at the company's Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., headquarters, says that when the roast beef retailer introduced its Market Fresh sandwich line, individual stores were purchasing lettuce in their local supply chains and processing it in-house. "It was extremely inefficient," he says. "Its shelf-life was so short that a lot of product was wasted."
Mr. Berman saw an article in a trade publication about Mr. Hougham's innovation and decided to investigate for himself. Traveling to Salinas to get a look at the four companies then utilizing the infant technology, he found that Mills was the only one not using metal blades to separate the leaves. And that, he thought, translated into a better product with less waste and a greatly enhanced shelf life.
Aside from the quality of Mills' Wholeaves, Mr. Berman said he was impressed by the family-owned company's approach to business. "The Mills family is very down-to-earth and hands-on," he says. "I can count on picking up the phone and getting Dave on the other end to personally resolve any issues that arise." Dave Mills has been known to call individual Arby's store managers to get a first hand account of a problem.
Today, Mills Family Farms is the exclusive provider of green leaf filets to the Arby's chain, shipping 50,000 cases of the product per month to all 48 contiguous states and Canada. Other customers include Denny's Restaurants, Midwest restaurant chain Steak 'n Shake and Trader Joe's markets, where the product is known as "Just the Leaves."
Wholeaves are now available in select Safeway stores, with the Mills Family Farms brand prominently displayed on the package. They have been test marketed at Wal-Mart, and are coming soon to Ralphs, Costco, Whole Foods and Albertson's. Other branded products include salad mixes and a unique package of two heads of iceberg lettuce set to debut in Smart and Final stores this fall.

The desktop publisher is responsible for acting as a lead on various electronic documents such as proposals and manuals. A key responsibility is ensuring that these materials meet stringent quality standards as established by the employer and stipulated by the client. The desktop publisher must also ensure that all client deadlines are met and that work is performed according to agreed-upon timelines and schedules.Read More...
Other responsibilities include liaising with the client and coordinator on electronic publishing issues and keeping all relevant individuals up to date on project progress. Text and graphic templates and instructions should be established and quality must be checked regularly throughout production to ensure the quality and consistency of final product. The desktop publisher oversees final product coordination as well, including coordinating electronic and hard copy printing; this involves close work with copy center staff.
Desktop publishers typically work indoors in an office environment during regular business hours. Typical employers include government agencies and large corporations. The desktop publisher works in a collaborative team environment with several different departments and personnel, such as the project coordinator, accounts manager, lead editor, and copy center staff, so strong teamwork and interpersonal skills are essential.
A bachelor's degree is generally required for this role, although employers may accept equivalent experience in lieu of a degree. Frequently, at least six years of publishing, text processing, graphic design and/or electronic publishing experience is a must. Demonstrated project leadership and supervisory experience is beneficial as well.
Desktop Publishers report using a pretty varied skill set on the job. Fortunate workers who know Adobe Acrobat can expect a significant pay bump, scoring salaries 24 percent above average. At the other end of the pay range are skills like Adobe Illustrator. Those educated in Adobe InDesign tend to be well versed in Microsoft Office.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
Folks with fewer than five years of experience take home $36K on average, and those who have worked for five to 10 years see a bigger median salary of $42K. Desktop Publishers with one to two decades of relevant experience report an average salary of approximately $51K. Desktop Publishers who have racked up more than two decades of experience report lower incomes overall; the average sum for this crowd comes out to only $50K.

Need help for a friend in selling large acreage in VA
Hi, everyone. A friend of mine inherited a lot of property following the death of her aunt. Unfortunately, it was a very complicated estate, and her aunt didn't leave a well drawn up will, so it has taken several years to settle - universities and and other public institutions involved.
One of the properties she inherited consists of multiple connected parcels in Paris, VA, totaling 54 acres. My friend needs to sell this property to pay off all the taxes and legal fees. However, her realtor is not being overly helpful and it is difficult for my friend to do this long distance - her health issues mean that she can't just fly out there.
IMHO, the house that is on the property is a tear-down, and I have told her so. Unfortunately, most of the photos on the website are of the house, which I don't think is very helpful.
Sorry for rambling on, but could those of you who are familiar with dealing with acreage take a look and let me know if you have any better suggestions for marketing this property?
I think it is difficult to find a buyer interested in multiple separate parcels. Is there a reason they are not listed separately? I'm not familiar with the area, this may be common there.
I agree with the photos, not good.
Did she interview several agents, much of this can be done over the phone, online, since this is vacant land?
I think good write and photos on MLS will do a lot.
What is the market like in that area?
The lots all join to form one large property and the area is popular with hunters. My friend doesn't want the hassle of dealing with separate lots and, since this in the Blue Ridge Mountains, there is probably not enough flat land to build on if all the lots were sold separately.
Not sure what the market is like currently. According to the realtor, this property was valued at over $2.6M at its peak. It is listed at below appraisal and my friend can't go any lower because of all the back taxes. Apparently, all tax credits are available, though I am not entirely sure what that means to a buyer.
Personally, I don't think they should the current house more than a passing mention, as a possible place to live in while a new house is being built.
I agree with cmarlin - each parcel should be listed separately. There can be a mention in the listing that other parcels are available, but not all will want to buy all when separate parcels.
Are the separate parcels all connected? Doesn't say.
Listing them separately may mean one parcel would sell sooner than the others too. Might be enough to tide her over.
"Are the separate parcels all connected? Doesn't say. "
Um, yes it does.
"she inherited consists of multiple connected parcels"
Selling non-buildable parcels is VERY hard to do.
Keep them together.
You need to at least have some idea of another house COULD be built.
The old one may be grandfathered in ways that make the lot no longer buildable if the old house is demolished.
Lyfia, thanks for pointing that out.
Brickeyee, good point. I don't know if my friend has even thought about that possibility.
My friend has been messed around so much by all the lawyers involved that I hope she can get this place sold and at least come out of this with a little money.
This listing is primarily for a house and the land comes second. Most RE agents do not have experience in selling larger tracts of land--5 acre lots yes, maybe 10acs on occasion, but not this size. I too would scroll on by. Your friend needs to find an agent that specializes in land sales. I've posted a link below to the RE firm that specializes in land sales that we used when we sold our acreage a couple years ago. The link will take you to their listings page where you can go through and view how a listing for land should look. Even if the house on the property could be salvaged, the real value is in the land. The current RE agent is interested in selling a house.
I don't think the firm in the link covers VA, but you never know--they may know of another land firm in VA.
Hope this helps!
Here is a link that might be useful: Land Sales Specialist
Mydreamhome, thank you so much for that information. I have already passed it along to my friend. Hopefully, she
Cearbhaill, for someone who supposedly handles high priced properties, this realtor really does not seem to have a clue when it comes to writing up a listing. I have no idea how she is managing to make a living. I am just hoping that either the listing expires soon or my friend has grounds to get out of the contract.
"The peak of the Blue Ridge, overlooking Paris is called Ashby Gap. The view looking east from the Gap has been deemed worthy of a 'Scenic Easement', intended to keep this view unmolested for future generations to enjoy."
It would be nice if someone wanted to buy and use it for tourism.
Did the mineral rights transfer? Is your friend interested in selling any of the the timber.
You might want to ask an auctioneer (or two) for an opinion about selling it by the lot or in its entirety.

We did miss a TV in our cabing, as it was a rough night and it was difficult to sleap as the people in the next capin was ill and we could hear it so it would have been nice with a TV so see how fare we wore on the trip and to keep the sound out of the sick people in the next capin. On all the other ferries we have been on ther was a tv with a few chanels and we could order film while we were sailing. But all in all for a short trip like this it was a good experience and we would youse P&O againg.

Rotterdam is the Netherlands second largest city and is one of the largest ports in the world. It is located in the province of South Holland in the west of the country, and to the south of Randstad. Since the city was founded in the 13th century it has grown into a major international centre for commerce. This has undoubtedly been assisted by the city's port which has a strategic location on the Rhine-Meuse-Scheldt delta on the North Sea and because of its road, air, rail and inland waterway connections. This had led the city often to be regarded as the "Gateway to Europe". The city has its own orchestra, the Rotterdam Philharmonic, a large congress and concert building named De Doelen, a couple of theatres and the Ahoy Rotterdam complex which is used for pop concerts, exhibitions and some sporting tournaments. In recognition of its cultural offerings Rotterdam was declared the European Capital of Culture in 2001.
The city's port is mainly a freight port although there is a passenger ferry service operating to the port of Hull in the UK with a crossing time of around 11 hours. Passenger facilities at the port include restaurants, cafes, bureau de change and disabled access.
The city of Hull, or Kingston-Upon-Hull to give it its full name, is a port that lies at the confluence of the River Hull and the Humber Estuary and has been a gateway to the heart of England since Roman times. The town was founded by King Edward I (1272 - 1307) who needed a secure port where his army could be supplied from, who were fighting the Scots at the time.
Hull's modern city is a large and busy city with many shops and facilities. There are a number of traffic free streets in the city which makes it a pleasant place to wander around and perhaps take in some of the open air entertainment that is on offer during the spring and summer. The glass covered Princes Quay is one of the country's most scenic shopping centres and rose from the water to sit above Prince's Dock. As one of the area's largest shopping centres, it links the old and new parts of the town, leading to the heart of the city with sweeping views of the rejuvenated docklands.

Additions and the home closing process
Hello! My husband and I are just wrapping up building our fist home. My question is, We added a few things during the building process i.e. upgraded to stainless steel appliances, better windows, etc, Does the cost of those add-ons get wrapped into our loan at closing or do we pay cash for them? Any knowledge helps thanks!
Is it builder financed, or bank?
Usually, with a bank mortgage after a build, you will only be given a mortgage for what your house is worth, not what you paid. Often, that is less than what you paid, and so you will be "paying cash for them". But, it depends on your area, your appraisal, and your financer.
Do you have a construction to perm loan? If so, the loan is in process, as is the agreed upon price. Any upgrades will be paid by you. The only way to add them back into the loan amount is to do a refinance, which is cost prohibitive to do for only a few thousand dollars of upgrades.

We plan to go to Goa next month and have obtained tourist visas. But our passports expire in July — less than six months after we arrive. The High Commission said that we were fine if our passports covered at least six months from the date of visa issue (which they do); the travel company says we must have six months from date of return to UK; and the FCO advises that we have six months from date of entry. We can't arrange new passports now because the visas are in the existing ones. We are rather anxious that it could all go horribly wrong. — Christina, London

PTSD proposed for Oregon medical marijuana list

PTSD, The easiest condition to fake, being used in the name of veterans...?
I find it interesting that you would have a person who served choosing to smoke pot, especially one who might be suffering true PTSD. I think it is a bit counter productive to have someone who suffers with something such as PTSD, tell them to smoke pot, which will then render them unable to find a decent job. Veterans are given hiring priorities because they are vets, but they still HAVE to pass a drug screen. So for those who are not looking far enough into the future, they are setting themselves up for failure in the job market.
The inability to land a job due to their drug of choice can and will eventually lead to financial issues, and then possibly depression. From there you might as well just allow all vets on disability.
This truly seems like a very poor idea, and kudos to the vets who choose to stay clear of the drug, your selfless service to our country and the lives of others should never be forgotten, but supporting a vet to delve into drug use due to PTSD is a gateway to a miserable future for all.
Oh, and what about other cases of PTSD? Those who were in a car wreck, those who have been a victim of a violent crime, tose who were bullied in school, those who had a dog bark at them, those who had a bad meal at the local fast food dive...
Just a really bad idea...
"....had a bad meal at the local fast food dive... ."
I dunno, might actually be a cure for that one, Manup.
Maybe if the 'manufacturers' were asked to list all of the possible harmful side effects of using medicinal marijuana in much the same manner pharmaceutical companies do, might prove helpful?
Last night I'd watched a television commercial last promoting a body lotion that contained 1.62% testosterone as it's active ingredient.. Will some people choose to use that product after learning of it's known side effects?
Effects so harmful to others (especially to women & children) that just touching a person that uses that product is ill advised.
I don't believe that marijuana is anywhere near as harmful to humans than what is allowed to be promoted byPharmacyPharma'
Do you, really?
....oops...the above should have read as---> I don't believe that marijuana is anywhere near as harmful to humans than what is currently allowed to be promoted by big pharmaceutical companies.
