This morning, the news came in that Cisco TelePresence will be part of a Heidi Klum venture. The popular German TV show "Next Top Model" has a segment running next month with a contestant in LA talking to family back home in Hamburg. This "seminal event" got me thinking about how fast this market has blossomed. In just over two scant years TelePresence has gone from a corporate meeting tool to something else entirely. TelePresence has started all sorts of people thinking about new ways to collaborate and communicate. For example, singer Stubby ("The club all smash" is his hit single) used the public Cisco TelePresence Suites a few months ago for a music video shoot, and he's now thinking about how he could use the technology as he tours and makes music. Not just for staying in touch with colleagues and family while on the road, but how he could use it for music production. Now, that's a new way of thinking about collaboration technology.Other signs: NBA stars Shane Battier and Yao Ming used Cisco TelePresence for NBA China interviews from their home towns. The NHL uses it at hockey games for in-person interactions between fans, stars and sportscasters. How fun is that to be face to face with some of hockey's greats? Read More »
The Next Top Model
Dear Unknown
Such was the salutation of a message sent to a friend recently. The heading of the message went on to state that Acme Corp. (name changed to protect the guilty) prided itself on a "personal" touch and differentiated customer service. This slight mishap, while clearly a marketing campaign automation failure, was a clear testament of how much harder an enterprise must strive for perfection when communicating with customers. Now more than ever, corporations are refocusing their energy on improving customer service by retraining customer care representatives, investing in enabling technologies and replacing aging legacy equipment. Clearly, Acme Corp. would have done better to avert such a faux pas. The reality is that today's environment requires a reinvigorated look at how Customer Care organizations, in partnership with Marketing and IT, can evolve or even rethink their customer service strategy — a strategy which, in today's economic climate, must aim to better understand the customer and adapt to her or his communication needs.

Confidence in Web Services
Sad to see the latest outage with Gmail; how confident should individuals and companies be in web services?At their best, web services allow a concentration of expertise and best-practice that many organizations might not have internally. Many individuals and small- or even medium-sized businesses do not achieve the"99.9%" uptime in their email systems -equivalent to less than 9 hours of service interruption per year – that is often a minimum service-level standard in the web-services world. To make a simple comparison, in most countries people know that the service from their electricity company is simpler and more reliable than trying to run their own power station. Read More »
A Collaboration Infrastructure
To be truly collaborative, employees require access to the right information at the right time across different workspaces. Enabling this collaborative experience requires consistent connectivity capable of supporting rich media communications. End users and businesses are well served by wired and Wi-Fi based networks. As user demand for collaboration-enabling high-bandwidth applications such as video increases, there is a corresponding requirement of networking infrastructures to support these demands. Cisco offers a robust portfolio of high performance wireless infrastructure to enable campus-based continuous connectivity across high-density workspaces. These networks enable the collaboration experience that unlocks the end user productivity potential. Chris Kozup, Senior Manager, Mobility Solutions, Cisco
Can TelePresence Make me a better Manager?"Â
Today large companies like Cisco have dispersed teams with managers having employees in far flung places and different parts of the world. I believe that Cisco managers, like myself, can create greater rapport and better relationships over TelePresence than with a telephone call. There are also events like mid-year reviews that can be delivered with the impact of TelePresence and help keep the high performance employee more engaged and feel like they are more closely tied to the team and its objectives. The consulting firm Towers Perrin found in 2007 that only "œonly one out of five workers around the world feel engaged in their jobs". Cisco Advanced Services recognizes that employees are a key asset in the continual delivery of quality services. The yearly team event physical meeting where relationships are cemented and friendships are maintained is getting the impact of reduced travel expense requirements. That is where virtual meetings need to have the same impact as the face to face team meetings. What are the challenges managers have in creating a meeting and is it possible to have virtual team meetings using TelePresence?by Phil Marechal, product manager, Cisco TelePresence

What Our Clients Say
Select a team member to view their testimonials.
- I have bought and sold six properties in Oak Park working with Erica. She is an amazing resource of information, contacts and out of the box thinking. Most impressively, she has truly gone Above and Beyond her responsibilities as a broker/agent to see me succeed. I consider Erica a valuable part of my team and a great friend.
—Vera Anderson, Oak Park
- We loved our experience with Cynthia. We started looking for a home with her over a year ago. Not only was she patient with us but she was always responsive, timely, and always had our best interest at heart. She is very knowledgeable about homes and as we would walk through them she always noticed things that we never would have seen.
She did an amazing job. I already recommended her to friends of mine from Evanston that are looking to buy a home.
—Carina Kearley
- Erica was recommended to us by my sister, who also lives in Oak Park. She is an excellent real estate agent and we have dealt with many agents in the past. She is professional, knowledgeable and reliable. She went above and beyond to get the deal done on the house we wanted. She not only helped with the agency but also got us hooked up with the professionals we would need to upgrade the house. We would recommend her without reservation.
—Samir Gupta & Julie Wohrley, Oak Park
- Erica, despite what was then a slow market, helped me to maximize the value of my sale of a multi unit building in Chicago and purchase of a multi-unit in Oak Park. She coached me through a tax deferrment available when exchanging investment properties. She also recommended a highly expert/creative mortgage broker, home inspector, real estate attorney, and insurance agent.
—Brian Long, Oak Park
- Cynthia was extremely professional. She educated us and gave us the tools to find a property that fit our needs. Her knowledge of the community and the nuances of local housing styles was an incredible asset to the process.
The referral list and information packet provided by Beyond Properties was very helpful. The checklists provided in the information packet were helpful resources. I referred to them several times as we moved through the process of securing our home loan and setting up various services for our home. There were so many details to consider and it was very helpful to have a clear and concise guide.
We would absolutely refer Cynthia to our friends and family!
—Nicole & Louis Rivera
- From the start, Erica was very efficient and upfront about our home's worth and the possible changes we might have to make for it to sell. After she staged our home, it looked like a totally different place and was so very appealing. Wish I had thought of some of this myself. She and Joelle had 2 open houses and aggressively worked to sell our home. From the time we signed until the house closed was a very short time of only 8 weeks. She immediately responded to every call I made or questions I had. A very knowledgeable person for sure! I most definitely would recommend her to anyone buying or selling a home. Thank you to Erica and Joelle too for all your efforts and success in selling my home!
- I met Erica in January 2014 and was very impressed with her and as time pasted and I got to know her better my first impression was reenforced time and time again. I am a real estate investor, still a beginner with 2 homes sales completed and having Erica as a mentor has been extremely helpful. Her knowledge of the area goes deeper then what most only see and when she begins to talk I am captivated by her understanding and knowledge of not just real estate but the area businesses, schools, social activities and the local government. I can say with confidence that if you work with Erica you will have a true professional in your corner.
—Tommy Cramer, Lake View, Chicago
- Erica showed me a home and I knew it should be mine. The problem was in convincing my reluctant husband. Erica was able to describe the pros and cons of the property in a way that made him feel comfortable, and I got the house of my dreams!
—Amanda Cage (Emile Jorgenson's wife), Albany Park, Chicago
- Over the course of our six-month short sale odyssey, Stacy was exceptional with her diligence and commitment to serving us. She knew her market incredibly well but she knew even better how to handle our concerns and worries regarding the numerous pain points that arose during the process. She was all class: considerate, intelligent, empathetic, and personable. I have recommended her to all of my friends who are in the real estate market and will continue to do so. She is truly the best advocate and counselor a person can have when it comes to buying or selling their home.
—Matthew Scharph
- We loved working with Susan. She is a very thorough and knowledgeable broker. Susan worked with us for about a year, taking us to countless properties. She was extremely patient with us as we waited for our condo in the city to sell and as we tried to figure out where we wanted to live.
I am sure that Susan spent more time with us than her average buyer, but never once did I feel that she was getting impatient with us. She was always extremely pleasant, positive and professional.
—Howard Wax
- From the start, Erica was very efficient and upfront about our home's worth and the possible changes we might have to make for it to sell. After she staged our home, it looked like a totally different place and was so very appealing. Wish I had thought of some of this myself. She and Joelle had 2 open houses and aggressively worked to sell our home. From the time we signed until the house closed was a very short time of only 8 weeks. She immediately responded to every call I made or questions I had. A very knowledgeable person for sure! I most definitely would recommend her to anyone buying or selling a home. Thank you to Erica and Joelle too for all your efforts and success in selling my home!
—Nancy Kokat, Forest Park
- Erica was wonderful! She was a great negotiator for both investment properties she helped us purchase. As professional investors, she gave us help where we needed it, but recognized that we knew what we wanted and had our own expertise in certain areas. She kept us on schedule. She was able to give us perspective about how far we could push the price. Erica got us a great deal on both properties and we will definitely work with her again in the future!
—Vicki Burdine, Forest Park
- Many thanks for helping us find our new home. We LOVE it! And we SO appreciate you driving from one end of Chicago to the other & braving heights on ladders!
—Karen & Michael
- Susan was my realtor for my recent home purchase and she skillfully guided us through a long, arduous and sometimes frustrating process to a home we love!
—Tosan Olley
- We turned to Erica after our Bucktown property went unsold for nine months. Within one month she repositioned the marketing and sold the property at the price we hoped for. Erica managed the entire sale and made the experience very straightforward.
—Simon Bell, Bucktown, Chicago
- Erica is one of Oak Park's most experienced, knowledgeable and likable brokers. Her integrity and willingness to serve her clients is second to none.
—Benjamin De Los Monteros, Albany Park, Chicago
- Erica took time to guide us through the process and make sure we knew what to expect every step of the way. She showed us numerous properties and took the time to help us determine exactly what we were looking for in a home. When the right home came on the market, she previewed it and took us in the first day it was listed. We ended up in a competitive bid situation but still managed to not overpay by negotiating not only price, but closing date, earnest money deposit, and finance contingency. I know that our final purchase price was not higher than all of the other bids. Having an experienced agent that understood the market and the seller's goals enabled us to get the contract. With a less experienced and less knowledgeable agent we may have lost the home or ended up paying a higher price.
—Jim Svehla, Oak Park
- As an out of state buyer, I needed a lot of help and a lot of hand holding. And Joelle came through for us. Just amazing!! Joelle is smart, knowledgeable, pleasant, and PATIENT. She took the time to show and teach us about different neighborhoods. She really listened to our needs and exceed our expectations. Use her.
- Erica and her team at Beyond Properties has been amazing, we've worked together on several projects and I couldn't be happier. Her knowledge of the real estate market, work ethic, and expertise separates her and the staff from the competition. If you are buying or selling in the Chicago land area you'd be making a big mistake by not working with Erica. Highly recommend Erica and her team!!
—Bob Reisenger, Galewood, Chicago
- Erica is extremely familiar with the Oak Park market and knows what every house is worth. She is extremely professional and very easy to work with. Also, her office is prompt and sets up and confirms showings very quickly. Nothing but good things to say about Erica!!
We were going to purchase a home initially, but the deal fell through. Afterward, we located a house for rent that worked well for our family. Erica didn't miss a beat and helped us secure that property in a timely manner.
If you are looking for an agent in Oak Park, to either purchase or sell your home, I would recommend that you contact Erica first. I doubt that you will have to interview any other agents.
—Joe Kasiak, Oak Park
- Erica Cuneen is very hard working Real Estate broker and good friend.
She has great Knowledge about real estate.
—Rick Atri, Wheaton
- I had a great experience with Richard finding my house. I had a great time working with Richard and I feel like he really was an upstanding realtor. He was helpful, honest and willing to go that extra mile every time. It was a really great experience and I can say I have no complaints at all. I really feel that Richard did an expert matchmaking job for me and my house and I am super super happy in it. The experience went very smoothly and I feel like Richard absorbed many of the road bumps on my behalf. I would without question recommend Richard to anyone I know.
—Andrea Schumacher
- Erica,
On so many levels I am grateful for meeting you as my realtor!!
I really feel like there is something to be said for your followup and
connection to the community and your clients. A genuine/rare honesty
throughout the process as well that seemed like a treasure once you have
sold and bought 3 houses. ;)
—Alethea DeMarais, Oak Park
- Cynthia is so kind and pleasant to be around and, obviously, has great experience. She did her research and really helped us talk through our decision. In hindsight, one of the reasons Cynthia was such a good fit for us is because of her ability to give you her professional opinion in a subtle way that helps a buyer feel comfortable in the decision making process. I immediately got the sense that she really cared that we found exactly what we were looking for in a home. I distinctly remember walking into what is now our home and turning to her and saying "this is the best we've seen" and she just nodded and said "yes." Cynthia confirmed what I felt and knew it was the right house for us, too.
We would absolutely recommend Cynthia or Beyond Properties to our friends and family.
—Mayra Bacik, Riverside IL
- It's hard for me to buy toothpaste, so imagine the dread I felt when my wife said it was time to buy a home. Luckily we found Erica Cuneen who effortlessly guided me through the process of one of the biggest decisions of my life. I love my house!
—Emile Jorgenson, Albany Park, Chicago
- Thanks for recommending Vicki to list my brother's home in Lisle for rent. We were able to get the old tenants moved out, the listing completed, and the property rented already. My brother and I are both very pleased with her performance. We appreciate all of her hard work!
—Phil Joseph & his brother
- Erica is truly a subject matter expert with regards to the Realty market. Her understanding of the space is evident in the quality of her work and the comforting experience she provides her clients. With such a vast pool of Real Estate professionals available in today's market, Erica has differentiated herself from her competitors by utilizing an in house group of subject matter experts that regularly convene with potential sellers, buyers, and investors to discuss and advise on their areas of expertise. By doing this, Erica has embraced the idea of incorporating the minds and expertise of various individuals to provide the best end product, both for the community and the growing Chicago-land Real Estate market. I would recommend her services to any individual looking for an easy transition and an honest evaluation of their residential options.
—Aeraj Patel, Lombard
- Erica has the utmost skills in both purchases and sales. She is knowledgeable in all facets of real estate, has experienced a multitude of issues on transactions and has the highest level of professionalism in all facets of negotiations of the closing and pre-closing process. What makes Erica unique is her level of ethics and professionalism when representing her clients. She goes above and beyond the normal realm of a real estate agent.
—Angela Tricoci
- I wholeheartedly recommend working with Erica as your agent. She helps retail buyers as well as investors find the property that's right for them. She knows the areas she works in and offers advice if you ask her.
Erica has the skills a good agent needs - she calls you back in a timely fashion, shows properties as soon as she can get you in, and is a highly organized person.
She seems to enjoy her job , which shows in her terrific work ethic.
—Katie Trankina, Oak Park
- Susan got me a great house at a great price. I'm not the best at following up on things right away, but Susan helped keep me on a proper pace. I would absolutely recommend her and Beyond Properties to friends and family.
—Greg Stewart
- Joelle is a delight to work with. Not only is she a savvy and seasoned real estate professional; her kindness and easygoing, intuitive approach is both helpful and refreshingly sincere. Joelle listens and she sees the big picture. Having worked with several other real estate agents in IL and other states, in my mind Joelle stands out as the best.
—Steven Maloney
- Erica guided us through each step of the process, even as we changed our plans. She listened and provided helpful input to help us define our needs as we prepare to be "empty nesters." Erica was friendly, patient, hard working, honest and available. We'll definitely work with her on our next move.
—Ed Gerns, Oak Park & Chicago
- Always on top of everything....very proficient in all she did. Truly enjoyed working with her! Her business was in the area of where I was selling therefore was most helpful in showing home to prospective buyers. Home was sold within 48 hours of listing.
—Kathleen Connolly, Forest Park
- We lived in New York, San Francisco, and Chicago. Of all these real estate markets, Susan Abbott stands heads and shoulders above our prior Realtors. She took time to listen to what we wanted. She worked with us at a pace with which we were comfortable. And she was prepared on a moments notice to show us newly listed properties. Susan's insight into what we needed and what was available in Oak Park was amazing. She respected our time by not showing us homes she knew we would not interest us. And when we finally found our current home, we knew the moment we walked in the front door that our family would live here for years. Susan Abbott did stop looking until we found the home that made us say "wow".
—Milta Hernandez & Dian Atkins
- My wife and I could not have had a more positive experience, than working with Susan. She is both patient and knowledgeable, and was ok holding our hands throughout the process, as we worked with her in purchasing our first home. After multiple trips out, and countless showings, Susan found us a home and worked diligently with us through the negotiation process. She knows the area, and is able to provide information about the neighborhoods at a moments notice. Unlike most of my peers experiences, Susan is truly an agent that listens to your concerns and works with her buyers (and sellers I'm sure) Toward a successful outcome. My advice: work with Susan Abbott.
—Josh and Emily Hagan
- As first time homebuyers, the support and guidance Erica gave us was invaluable. She listened to what we wanted. She made herself available around our schedules. And she offered us not only the wisdom of an experienced broker, but also of a homeowner with deep roots in the Oak Park community. She never got impatient with us when we asked many (probably too many!) questions or hesitated. If we ever have to sell, we won't think twice about calling her to list our property.
—Mara & Nate Block, Oak Park
- Susan helped me find a home of my dreams on a tight budget in Oak Park. She was amazingly respectful, professional, honest, and realistic. She works with an amazing network of home buying essentials from an amazing mortgage man to home repair recommendations. I couldn't be more happy.
—Jill Wilhite
- In 2014, we contracted with Cynthia Howe Gajewski for both the sale of our condo unit in the city and our purchase of a single-family home in the Western Suburbs. Each of these transactions were journeys, and each had its share of twists and turns along the way.
We could not have been more delighted to have had Cynthia to guide us along these journeys. Her competence and confidence were evident throughout the process, and she kept us encouraged, even when things got tough or did not break the way we had hoped.
Cynthia's competence was important to us, but perhaps even more important to us was her ability to read us. She provided us with space when we needed space, a push when we needed a push, or an answer that made sense when we did not understand something. She made us feel comfortable and always seemed to anticipate how we would respond to news and changes, which guided how she approached us.
Cynthia developed her relationship with us to the point that we will always consider her to be a friend, while at the same time never being anything less than 100% a professional and a leader in her field. We would happily provide a recommendation for Cynthia in any forum, or respond as a reference if that was ever needed. We would also certainly look her up again should we have real estate needs in the future.
—Jim Ransel & Hilary Quinn
- I highly recommend Erica, she is professional, diplomatic, and knowledgeable. She guided us through the challenge of selling our home in an unstable market, and negotiated a great deal on our behalf. She gained our trust with her calm manner, thorough research and integrity. I wouldn't walk into any real estate deal without her.
—Dar Darley, Oak Park
- I wanted to thank you (Vicki) for showing us rental properties in early August. Our family was getting close to moving with no home to move into. You really seemed to care about helping us. We really appreciate that! Thank you!
—Beth & Luke of Riverside, IL
- I've dealt with lots of realtors. Cynthia is top shelf and I would use Cynthia again. She would be my first call.
—Duane Painter
- If any client could put Erica to the test, it would be us. My wife, two kids and I spent months trying to sell our home in Virginia, while also looking for a home in the suburbs of Chicago. Erica has the amazing ability to make you feel like you are her only client. She unselfishly works night and day to help you find your dream home, negotiate the price, secure a loan, and close knowing you've gotten the best deal possible. She made what I thought would be an overwhelming process, an absolute breeze. I would recommend her to anyone, except my worst enemy.
—Justin Lyons, Brookfield
- Erica helped us buy a home in Oak Park, IL. She was a great help and comfort as we relocated from Florida. We were overwhelmed with the real estate market in the area and Erica patiently and competently walked us through the process. Her knowledge of the neighborhoods and willingness to listen to our needs allowed us to find the perfect home. When we finally decided on a house, Erica was able to negotiate a price that was much lower than listing. We were amazed at her willingness to advocate for us! She guided us through the inspection and closing and her advice was always helpful and spot on. I highly recommend Erica and would not hesitate a moment to use her talents again should we decide to move.
—Betsy Parkinson, Oak Park
- It is the most exciting and fun times of my life. We absolutely love the house and think it is absolutely perfect for us. I can't thank you enough for making this dream of ours a reality. Without you we never would have found this place and now I can't imagine living anywhere else. Thank you so much. You really went above and beyond during the entire process.
—Dawn Trimmel
- Erica was extremely helpful and responsive and helped guide us through the process. We ended up in a competitive bid situation and her knowledge of the market helped us win the bid without over paying.
Erica also sold a property for us and helped us make small changes to it before listing that helped it sell quickly and for a higher price.
She is on top of what is happening in the market for both buyers and sellers. Erica is a terrific agent and I would recommend her (and have) to everyone I know!
—Jim Svehla, Oak Park
- We had a wonderful experience with Erica. She helped us in our search for our first home. She had a lot of experience in rehabbing homes and could help us estimate costs and feasibility of needed repairs or updates. Erica was a great advocate to have during negotiations and has given us several wonderful referrals to other quality and trustworthy professionals in the area.
—Nell McNamara & Cameron McLaughlin, Oak Park
- Erica is awesome. I am a real estate investor and have been part of a group that meets once a month to talk real estate investing. I highly recommend Erica for the hard work she puts in to make the group a big success.
—Art Dusenbury, Oak Brook
- I used Susan Abbott from Beyond Properties when I purchased my house in Oak Park. My ex-husband is a real-estate attorney, so I know the difference between the good ones and the bad ones. Susan is one of the good ones. She was knowledgeable, helpful and conscientious. She was never pushy, but always followed my lead. She listened well in hearing my needs in order to help me find what I was looking for. Her recommendation for a mortgage broker proved that her network of people is well selected. In fact, my ex has now added that mortgage broker to his network.
—Rev. Kathy Nolte, Good Shepherd Lutheran
- Erica is a delight to work with. She helps eliminate the frustration from real estate transactions and is very well connected to what is going on in the market. She helped us find the exact house we needed in Oak Park in only a few weeks.
—Kevin, Sara and William Cuthbert
- She walked us through the purchase of our first home, and she was a god-send! Her knowledge of the area was flawless, and her network of professionals was perfect. Every recommendation she has made has turned out to be just as professional and high-quality. She is a first rate agent and we would definitely recommend her.
—Rob & Heather Douglas, Oak Park
- As our agent in finding a home, Erica has worked within our specific (and sometimes limited) parameters, always with good humor and integrity. Throughout this process we have relied heavily on Erica's knowledge of the housing and mortgage market and her keen negotiating skills.
—Andrea Alter, Oak Park
- We were first time home buyers when we first started working with Erica. She was very patient, took extra time to show us all the "ins and outs" of buying a home and provided support and understanding. If we ever decide to buy again or sell our current property, she is the first person we will call.
—Melissa and Kevin Olson, Oak Park
- I am very pleased that I referred Elissa to Erica Cuneen at Beyond Properties She has been wanting to move back to Wisconsin for a few years now. I received this email from her:
"I wanted to thank you for recommending Erica Cuneen. She and her company were extremely helpful. I rented my place today, was hired to work in Wisconsin today and will be moving back this Sunday!"
It is so good to have professionals to recommend that I trust will take good care of my clients. It reflects well on Beyond Properties, but also on me and my business. Thanks!
—Tom Peterson, Oak Park
- I was referred to Lola by a friend. My overall experience purchasing a home with Lola was great. She made the process very easy and stress free. She was very accommodative to my schedule and made herself available when I needed her. I would most definitely work with her again and recommend her to friends and family.
—Jennifer Jankowski
- Thank you for all of your assistance through this rental process and taking care of this stressful ordeal in our lives. I do not know if this is normal, but for this to have only taken just under 2 weeks from our initial conversation to receiving the first payment is outstanding. We really appreciate your time and help, and we are so glad everything went smoothly.
We will definitely keep your number for future rental needs.
—Charles Neveu
- Cynthia brings a enviable combination of a knowledgeable Real Estate agent who excels in her trade and understands her territory as well as an accomplished artist (a pro-photographer) whose insights and vision for the potential, design, and decor of properties are indispensable in making purchasing decisions. Besides these professional characteristics, Cynthia is the most affable person to work with - soft-spoken and trustworthy yet fair and tough (if needed) in negotiations on behalf of her clients. I would recommend Cynthia to anyone as a RE agent (or just as the friendliest person one might want to find to know.)
—Reafllc Client, Buyer
- Claudine was able to show us properties that matched our expectations and followed up quickly and professionally with other realtors to set up showings on short notice. She had a good portfolio on hand which perfectly suited our expectations. She was also fun to be around and we had a good time.
—Christian Goebel
- Erica recently helped my husband and I buy our first house--we were on a limited budget, but Erica helped us find a home in our price range that fits our family perfectly! She guided us through the process knowledgeably, thoroughly, and with a warm personal spirit. I can't recommend her highly enough!
—Nicole & Tim Matos, Galewood, Chicago
- Erica Cuneen is the cream of the crop of real estate professionals in Oak Park. She truly cares about making sure her clients are the number one priority in the process. She has a wealth of knowledge about the community that she serves and works relentlessly to find the perfect fit for her clients. If you want the best real estate broker in the Oak Park River Forest area, you will contact Beyond Properties Realty and ask for Erica Cuneen.
—Tony Munno, Oak Park
- We recently had a 1031 exchange to deal with and we worked very closely with Erica. We found her to be a dedicated, hard working person, totally committed to the task at hand. She followed up on every request and attended to the smallest detail with professionalism and speed. We knew what we were looking for, and she helped us to expedite the search within the given time frame. We will surely use her again when the time arises.
—Proce Enterprises, Berwyn
- Cynthia was great. She showed us a good range of properties in different parts of town. She was a pleasure to work with and was very patient as we had a lot happen (our daughter was born) during the process. She really was very helpful and attentive. We would recommend her and Beyond Properties to anyone looking in Oak Park. We love our new home and our new neighborhood.
—Robert Young
- We really appreciated the personal attention we received from Lola while our house was on the market. She made the process as painless as possible. We were also impressed by Lola's negotiation skills - she is kind, prepared, and persuasive. She sold our house in 45 days! Lola is someone we would highly recommend to others.
—Allison and Peter Case, Oak Park
- Erica is an amazing real estate agent - she and those on her team that I've worked with are truly top notch, very friendly, reachable, and service-oriented. Her / their knowledge about the market, pricing and communities is a real plus to anyone looking to buy or sell. Through Erica's firm, I have bought a home and rented out another house that I already owned. The very first home that I bought, I had used another firm - I did not know about Erica at the time - and using that other firm was a huge mistake. That agent's firm was also representing the seller but never disclosed that to me (!) and that agent actually lied about why the property was being sold, so I believe I did not get the best deal or have that firm 'really' working in my best interest on that deal. That definitely wasn't the case with Erica and her team when I bought my home with their help. They don't double represent properties, so clients can know for sure that Erica and her team are always working in the client's best interest. I think that's extremely important, along with her immense knowledge about all things real estate. She and her team are the agents I trust and will go back to in a heartbeat for any future real estate needs.
—Jennifer Chhatlani, Oak Park
- Erica was very quick to help us purchase our first home, and always had our best interests at heart, not afraid to shoo us away from a home that wasn't in great shape or a great place. She was always available to answer questions, and made the whole process a breeze. We love our new home, and would gladly recommend Erica to anyone. Perhaps even... to you!!
—Cory Faller, Forest Park
- Stacey was a pleasure to work with. She stayed on top of the details, timing and conditions of the transaction and worked with me to close a particularly challenging transaction. While we both had our clients' best interest in mind, Stacey was a great partner in keeping the transaction moving forward, keeping the lines of communication open and reaching mutually beneficial goals for both the buyers and sellers. I know what to expect now when working with Stacey and it is all positive.

Autumn storm, Barossa Valley, South Australia
Geez Kathy. This is superb, Beautiful lighting and gorgeous colours. Stunning
WoW Kathy this is fantastic! It all came together nicely for you in this shot – That beautiful bright green grass (and lambs! ) Golden Vines, a dried field & that stormy sky! Sure makes for some wonderful colour contrasts! And nicely composed too : )
Thanks Toni and Leanne. I'm glad you like it as I've had trouble getting the colours to display properly. It looks a lot richer and the greens are different in PS.
Thanks again, Kathy.
great colours kathy…looks awesome!!!
Fantastic. My brother lives in the Barossa
and i get there quite regularly.
(Usually sampling the local product to get
any in-focus shots though!!!)
It is a great spot and lots of photo opportunities
and this has real magic to it. Well Done.
Right place, right time, beautifully captured.
Wonderful landscape, Kathy! The colours are awesome as far as I can see!
The colours in this are absolutely gorgeous!
What an intense colour palette – just sensational – You must be really happy with this result! Great work!

There are numerous options for public transportation services and most of the drivers speak some English, but their language may be limited. It is therefore very important you know exactly the address of where you are going so you can give them direction if necessary.
Driving without carrying a licence or vehicle registration card won't be an offence now as the new Roads and Transport Authority's (RTA) mobile application makes the cards available on the go.
RTA has added m-store to its Drivers and Vehicles app that will have any Dubai-issued licence and vehicle registration card or distinguished number plate stored.
A motorist has to sign in with his or her RTA registered ID and password on the app to have all the details on the screen.
"Once signed in, the application will display the fines issued on the registered vehicle number or the licence number, and on m-store inside the app both the registration cards and licence cards will be available," said Ahmad Hashem Behroozian, CEO of RTA's Licensing Agency. Read more
Over the last couple of weeks, residents in Dubai have been handed out their Makani number.
If you are living in a standalone structure, you were most likely given your own Makani number. Residents of multi-storey buildings can probably find the unique code of their building in the lobby.
What is this number, and how can it be used?
The Makani number is a unique 10 digit code locating a building. Be it a villa, high-rise, hospital, tower or office, every structure in Dubai has been numbered, and every number is unique.
With this number, a person can locate himself or others within a squared-meter precision.
Makani is an application developed by the Dubai Municipality, aimed at improving location finding in the emirate. Emergency vehicles, delivery people, or individuals should never get lost in their attempt to finding a certain address. Read more
The next few days will see many of us attending parties as Dubai's residents prepare to welcome in the New Year. Holidays and weekends are always busy and subsequently booking a taxi maybe frustrating. Even if you're organised and book a taxi early in the day there is no guarantee it will actually appear! But there are alternatives to the normal RTA taxis.
There are companies such as Careem and Uber which have satellite mapping systems which enable these companies to see at any time where their available cars are and to match them to a customer request. Read more
The Dubai Tram is schedule to open to the public on November 12th. The majority of JBR and Marina residents who have witnessed the tram being constructed have had to live patiently through all the traffic chaos that this has brought with it. For other Dubai residents the Marina and JBR restaurants and hotels have always been popular evening hot-spots however, in recent months residents have tried to avoid the area for fear of being stuck in a traffic jam all night!
It has been constructed to link up to the Dubai Metro, water taxis and the Palm Monorail in the hope that commuters will be encouraged to leave their cars at home. Expat Echo Dubai have put together some facts to help you use the new Dubai Tram.
You need to renew your car registration once every year. If you have purchased a new vehicle, the dealer will handle all formalities for the first year. From the second year onwards, you will have to renew your car registration. Car registration takes place at the Dubai Traffic Department/other emirates traffic department or online and the vehicle testing at Tasjeel Centre Al Barsha, Tasjeel Centre Al Twar, Wasel Belhasa Vehicle Testing Centre in Al Jaddaf and Quick Registration in Al Ghusais (all open 24 hours).
It is worth noting if a vehicle is not older than three years, it does not need to be tested. It is, therefore, not necessary for the customer to visit the service centre as the whole process can be done online.
Half an hour from start to finish! That's how long it took me to renew my car registration at the traffic department in Al Barsha this morning. Remarkable when I think back to 15 years ago when I dared not go to get my car registered without our office PRO (Public Relations Officer) to guide me through every step, all the queues and manic hand waving.

New fines: Make-up when driving – Dh1,000; Mobile at signal – Dh200
4-12 black points and in some cases, vehicle will be impounded
The Ministry of Interior has issued a circular to traffic departments across the UAE as regards a Dh1,000 fine to be levied on women applying make-up while driving.
The new violation will also include men combing their hair, or adjusting their traditional Arabic head-gear while driving, Colonel Saif Al Mazrouei, Director General, Department of Traffic, Dubai Police said in a press statement.
Motorists found violating the new rule – which Colonel Mazrouei says comes under the dangerous driving category – can also draw 12 black points against their licence and have their vehicle impounded. Read more

The Hockey Sweater
Tundra Books, 1984 - Juvenile Fiction - 24 pages

Life centered around school, church, and the hockey rink, and every boy's hero was Montreal Canadiens hockey legend Maurice Richard. Everyone wore Richard's number 9. They laced their skates like Richard. They even wore their hair like Richard. When Roch outgrows his cherished Canadiens sweater, his mother writes away for a new one. Much to Roch's horror, he is sent the blue and white sweater of the rival Toronto Maple Leafs, dreaded and hated foes to his beloved team. How can Roch face the other kids at the rink?

did my dahlias die?
I bought some dahlias from walmart in January and I immediately planted them because they were already sprouting, but I haven't seen any movement out of them since, did they die? did I plant them too soon? we still haven't had our last frost yet.
I'm in zone 7b, north central AL
I've never had dahlias before
Dahlias like warm soil. They are not going to do any more growing until your soil warms up. They were sprouting in Walmart because it was warm and they sensed that it was time to grow. Usually people wait until near the last frost date to plant dahila tubers. Note that the tubers are not frost hardy so you will likely not be able to leave them in the ground next winter in your climate without special protection.
Oh yeah, I see you said you planted them back in January not right now. They probably froze and are now mush. You might as well dig them up and see for yourself what condition they are in. January is kind of early for Walmart to be selling dahlias but then again some people (like me) start them in pots indoors and then transplant them out around the last frost date to get a head start. The easiest and safest way to grow them is to plant the tuber outside after the last frost date but then you get flowers much later in the summer.

Re: Know the rules!
Well it's not always power boats. Today I was motor sail tacking down river, with wind as usual, coming straight up river. A guy in a Hunter 30 was doing the same but cross tacking and tagging along behind each move we made. A couple of times I just let my boat fall off and let him go by. Maybe they were learning how the H30 handles with just the main. (pretty good from I observed) My ole mast head rig is a slug with just the main. One time we were both tacking me to starboard him to port and we were coming bow to bow by maybe 50 yards.. and yup... ZOOM goes a stink pot right between 2 sailboats.. Again.. just easier to luff a little and not get excited. I then fell behind H30

HoopsHype Mikhail Prokhorov rumors
The founder of the pro-business party Civil Platform, billionaire Mikhail Prokhorov, has announced that he is quitting the project and suggested that his former comrades decide whether to rename or liquidate it. The announcement was made at the Friday session of the Civil Platform's consultative body – the Federal Civil Committee – that was called in connection with the growing schism in the party. The latter happened after many Civil Platform activists, including senior party officials, took part in the so-called "Anti-Maidan March" in Moscow – an event held in late February in which over 40,000 people expressed their support for Russian authorities and President Vladimir Putin, and protested against any attempts at regime change in the country by means of so-called "color revolutions." RT
The founder of the pro-business party Civil Platform, billionaire Mikhail Prokhorov, has announced that he is quitting the project and suggested that his former comrades decide whether to rename or liquidate it. RT
Devin Kharpertian: Multiple officials in Nets organization have told me in recent weeks that they don't expect to see Prokhorov any time soon. Twitter @uuords
Michael Ozanian, the Forbes sports business writer, says that the Nets ownership only wants to sell a minority interest in the Nets and that has created confusion among those interested in the team. In fact, Ozanian reports that it was his investment banker who dumped Mikhail Prokhorov, not the other way around. Ozanian writes... The main problem is that Prokhorov has not committed to selling a majority of the Nets and no one is apparently crazy enough to pay big money for a minority stake in a money-losing team. Such a deal would mean the new investor would have no say in how the Nets are run but would likely have to make cash payments to make up for the team's red ink. As one banker who traded candor for anonymity put it, "No one knew what the deal was." NetsDaily
Brooklyn Nets owner Mikhail Prokhorov has ended his agreement with investment bank Evercore Partners, who he hired to explore a sale of the team, banking sources told ESPN.com on Tuesday. Prokhorov, who owns 80 percent of the team and 45 percent of Barclays Center, hired the bank in January to take offers on the heels of Steve Ballmer's $2 billion purchase of the Los Angeles Clippers. But in recent days, the idea that the team would be sold in the very-near future didn't seem likely. ESPN.com
NetsDaily: One league source with knowledge of Prokhorov thinking told NetsDaily last week, "they'll be around for a while." Twitter @NetsDaily
Steve Kyler: League sources suspected that the Nets sale was going to be based on a $1b plus sale of the Hawks - which doesn't seem likely at this point Twitter @stevekylerNBA
Steve Kyler: Those same sources peg the Hawks sale as hovering around $900 million, a touch below the $1b expected Twitter @stevekylerNBA
Mikhail D. Prokhorov, the billionaire owner of the Brooklyn Nets, and his sister Irina D. Prokhorova, have withdrawn from the leadership of Civic Platform, a move seen as protecting his business interests as the Kremlin soured on even mild critics. Liberals could probably overcome their stigma and attract about 15 percent of the voters nationally, analysts say, but first, they have to build a platform that emphasizes a kind of "patriotic liberalism." New York Times
Other majority team owners who made this top 400 richest included Brooklyn Nets owner Mikhail Prokhorov (No. 125, $9.9 billion), Chelsea FC owner Roman Abramovich (No. 137, $9.1 billion), Miami Heat owner Micky Arison (No. 191, $7.1 billion), Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross (No. 216, $6.5 billion), St. Louis Rams, Denver Nuggets, Colorado Avalanche and Arsenal owner Stan Kroenke (No. 225, $6.3 billion), Orlando Magic owner Rich DeVos (No. 259, $5.7 billion), Detroit Tigers and Red Wings owner Michael Ilitch (No. 330, $4.8 billion), Jacksonville Jaguars and Fulham FC owner Shahid Khan (No. 330, $4.8 billion), Washington Nationals owner Ted Lerner (No. 330, $4.8 billion), the New York Knicks and Rangers owners, the Dolans (No. 381, $4.3 billion), New England Patriots and Revolution owner Robert Kraft (No. 381, $4.3 billion) and Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones ($4.2 billion). ESPN.com
A handful of potential suitors here and abroad are interested in making a play for the Brooklyn Nets as the auction for the NBA franchise gears up, The Post has learned. Chinese conglomerate Fosun and the Qatari government's investment fund have signaled an interest in buying the pro basketball team from majority owner and Russian billionaire Mikhail Prokhorov. New York Post
Some believe delaying the Nets sale is Silver's goal. The Atlanta Hawks also are for sale, with bids said to be around $900 million, and the NBA may not want prospective buyers to be split between the teams. China's Fosun is also in the bidding for the Hawks, sources said. New York Post
Interest is also coming from music mogul David Geffen, who considered a bid for the LA Clippers last year before the NBA team was sold for a record $2 billion to former Microsoft chieftain Steve Ballmer. Even former Time Warner boss Dick Parsons, who was interim chief executive of the Clippers when the NBA forced then-owner Donald Sterling to sell the team, has eyed the Nets, sources said. New York Post
Mikhail Prokhorov is selling the Brooklyn Nets and if Philadelphia 76ers CEO Scott O'Neil is correct, the Russian tycoon is going to make an even bigger killing than people thought. O'Neil was a guest on Bloomberg Television's "Market Makers" when he was asked how much he thinks the Nets will sell for. "I think they go for $1.4, $1.5 billion," O'Neill answered. "[the exact amount] depends on what's included, what the lease looks like, how much of the arena you get. There is a whole bunch of different factors. But I would say, given the current set up, the current structure now, $1.5-ish [billion]." Yahoo! Finance
When asked about why the Nets would sell for less than the $2 billion Steve Ballmer paid for the Los Angeles Clippers, O'Neil simply said that $1.5 billion is "a pretty healthy price," suggesting that the Clippers' price was more of an outlier, and then joked that he hopes the Nets sells for $3 billion. Yahoo! Finance
What is your opinion on Mikhail Prokhorov's ownership of the Nets, presuming he does sell the team in the short-term as some expect, and would the league be interested in more foreign owners? Adam Silver: Yes, the league would always be open to more international owners. He's been a great owner. I know he would have liked to have spent more time in Brooklyn, but the situation back in Russia, especially over the last year, hasn't allowed him to travel as much as he hoped. He engaged in somewhat of a high-risk, high-reward strategy by becoming a large (luxury) taxpayer, but that's permissible under our system. It took them into the second round of the playoffs last year, and I know his goal has been to win championships, so I'm sure he's somewhat frustrated. But I know when you look at what he and Bruce Ratner have done in Brooklyn by successfully completing that building, by making the move from New Jersey, from that standpoint it's been spectacular. As you and I know as New Yorkers, that arena is a permanent fixture of this community, and not only is there for basketball events but is practically full year round including the circus and concerts and other events, as well. So if he did decide to sell, I think he would be leaving an enormous legacy here in New York. New York Post
In a lengthy interview with Evan Roberts and Joe Benigno (mostly Evan), Adrian Wojnarowski said that he believes Billy King's job is safe as long as Mikhail Prokhorov owns the Nets. "I think he will continue to go forward here on the job," Woj said after a lengthy answer to a Roberts question about whether the Nets GM is on "the hot seat." "The way it's been told to me is he will continue there with this ownership group." NetsDaily
If Mikhail Prokhorov chooses to sell the Nets, he'll have to get out of Brooklyn completely. League sources confirmed a report by Sports Business Journal that the NBA sent a letter to Prokhorov telling him that, if he does choose to sell his interest in the Nets, he must also sell his stake in Barclays Center. New York Post
Nets Daily: Sports Business Journal reports NBA has told Prokhorov he must sell arena interest as well as team. Why? Lease is "onerous" for #Nets Twitter @NetsDaily

PRO BASKETBALL; Lakers vs. Pistons
By CHRIS BROUSSARD
Published: June 6, 2004
Keys to the series
1. HELP HAMILTON -- Richard Hamilton is going to get his 20 points a game, but the Pistons cannot prevail as they did against Indiana if he is the only one scoring big. Chauncey Billups and Rasheed Wallace are the best options, but they will have to overcome the inconsistency that has dogged them throughout the playoffs.
2. APPLY FULL-COURT PRESSURE -- This is Detroit's biggest advantage. The Lakers do not like to be rushed, but the Pistons, particularly their second-unit guards, are great at applying smothering full-court pressure. The Pistons will not rattle Gary Payton, but by disrupting the rhythm of the Lakers' halfcourt offense, they could force Kobe Bryant to try to do too much and take the Lakers' focus off Shaquille O'Neal. In the Pistons' ideal world, the pressure would force turnovers and lead to easy baskets.
3. AVOID PROLONGED DROUGHTS -- Scoring 11 or 12 points in a quarter will not get it done against the Lakers. Los Angeles put away Minnesota with one huge offensive outburst in each victory. Detroit's penchant for going several minutes without a basket makes it vulnerable.
1. TAKE DETROIT SERIOUSLY -- If the Lakers do this at least 67 percent of the time, they will win the series in six games. Although their chances of victory in a Game 7 at Staples Center would be good, all bets are off if it comes down to one game.
2. FEED SHAQ FIRST -- The offense must feature and run through Shaquille O'Neal. As great as Kobe Bryant is, O'Neal is the one who ultimately makes the difference. And when he is happy with his role in the offense, O'Neal defends and rebounds with greater tenacity.
3. LIMIT TURNOVERS -- In its search for points, Detroit will try to force turnovers. The Lakers, however, committed the fifth-fewest turnovers in the league. If Los Angeles follows that pattern, the Pistons will be hard pressed to score enough to win.

JIM STOCKTON: 'To Be Thy Calidore' — Byehh!!!
Valentine's Day is upon us and I am unprepared. My cupboard is bare, devoid of a single romantic thought. It wasn't always so. In the days of my youth, before age imposed disinterest, I went to the dime store to pore over little cards with red hearts and imploring messages of admiration. There was always a pretty girl or two to whom I appealed, though I was invariably rewarded with disappointment. There was always that boy with the chocolate brown eyes, slender of build, with a statuesque mother. I didn't stand a chance!

Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew
September 16, 1923 - March 23, 2015
(Mar 23, 2015) What I find uncanny about the Philippines and Singapore is that at one point in time, not very long ago, they were on the same level - social unrest, decaying infrastructure, widespread corruption, high unemployment and sluggish economic growth. The great disparity between these 2 countries only underscore what a strong, dedicated and HONEST leadership can do to move a country forward. In the 30 days I stayed in Singapore, I witnessed and experienced first hand the prosperity and success of Singapore. I cannot help but speculate that with able leadership, the Philippines could have been this. Lee Kuan Yew proved that it is humanly possible to achieve this in one generation....more »»
Power Yoga Class at Yoga Inc., Singapore
(Mar 21, 2015) I had a chance to conduct a yoga class in Singapore. The yoga studio owner said, 'At this point you already know they like it hard even for our regular class. So if we have to call your class POWER YOGA, you have to kill them. The expectation is high'. That statement changed everything....more »»
The Singapore Magic
(Mar 16, 2015) Singapore has accomplished so much in so little time. From decaying infrastructure, social unrest, housing crisis and sluggish economy after the war, it now ranks #3 in global GDP/capita next only to Qatar and Luxemburg. We're only talking 60 years. America took 200 years. Europe took a millennium. What's the magic?....more »»
Singapore Yoga at Yoga Inc.
(Mar 8, 2015) After 6 months of traveling Southeast Asia, I finally found a yoga oasis in Singapore I could call home. With my almost daily practice, I feel my fitness and strength coming back.

Singapore on a Shoe String
(Feb 20, 2015) Having explored Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam and Malaysia on my way south, the only country remaining is Singapore - reputed to be the most expensive city in Southeast Asia and the 4th in the world (Forbes). Backpacker forums summarize Singapore this way: Don't even think about it! This sent chills up my spine, specially with my dwindling cash with nothing on the horizon. I had to think many times. Do I cave in and go back to Thailand for $1 meals and $5 dorm beds?...more »»
The Kuala Lumpur Experience
(Jan 21 - Feb 20, 2015) Even though my near-perfect 30-day stay in Kuala Lumpur was marred by a failed police-extortion attempt, everything else was wonderful. I was impressed by their urban infrastructure, I was amazed by their multi-culturalism, I was at ease with their command of English, and overall, I really felt the hard work the tourism people put into their jobs....more »»
Police Harassment in Kuala Lumpur

(Feb 5, 2015) Kuala Lumpur's China Town is one of the city's bustling districts with frenzied activities all day long - good cheap eats, China wares shopping, hotels, backpacker lodges, tourists, etc. Staying in this area for 16 days gave me a unique glimpse of this vibrant place....more »»
Breaking New Ground in Kuala Lumpur

(Jan 12-16, 2015) Da Nang is voted one of the top 15 world destinations by New York Times. With Da Nang, you also get to visit its neighbors Hue and Hoi An, both compelling places to see and experience. With cheap flights from Hanoi, it was better to fly than to spend a day in a sleeping bus. We allotted 9 days for the 3 destinations - Da Nang, Hue and Hoi An....more »»
Braving the Hard Knocks of Hai Phong
(Jan 9-11, 2015) Hai Phong is not exactly a tourist destination even though they have a fabulous beach. You would hardly see the place on any guide book for backpacking destinations. To the locals in all of Vietnam, Hai Phong conjures imagery of being a two-fisted place. Yes, this is where the tough guys are. North Vietnamese are known to be tough people, but even in the north, Hai Phong commands a higher level of respect. That's my next destination.....more »»
Boat Cruising on Halong Bay
(Jan 8-9, 2015) The pictures of Halong Bay are stamped on every Vietnam tourism campaign - the Chinese Junk cruising on the bay, the eccentric shapes of the monolithic limestone outcroppings topped by dense jungle brush, the massive caves within the islets, etc. Time to pack up again and experience the beauty of this UNESCO World Heritage Site....more »»
Exploring the Northern Capital of Vietnam - Hanoi
(Jan 4-7, 2015) It is said that the people of the north are loud, aggressive and headstrong. If a revolution will happen in Vietnam, it will start from the north.
