Do Dallas area agents offer commission rebates to buyers?
While I can appreciate your question the thing you have to understand is that showing you the homes is just one phase of the transaction. The negotiations are crucial, the due diligence is crucial, the process from accepted contract to closing can be very intensive and often times if the agent is a good agent it will feel like a very "easy, simple" task when in all reality they are the conductor of a huge symphony in a sense. You do get what you pay for however. I have had clients who I have show 2 houses to and I have had clients who I have shown 15+ homes too and I worked equally hard throughout the transaction. Your best bet is to find a good agent who can get you a great deal and wont have to cut their commission for their hard work and expertise.
Can I Afford a Mortgage on $23,000 a Year?
My recommendation is to get a thorough pre qualification done with a lender. There are multiple factors when pre qualifying a potential buyer. Also here in El Paso we have a few great options for bond programs (which are essentially down payment assistance programs). Once you speak with a local lender they can confirm if you can qualify and for what amount. If you need some guidance in both choosing a local lender and looking for homes that meet your criteria feel free to contact me. I am a local REALTOR out of El Paso, Tx.
were looking to get a house here in El Paso, TX preferably on the east side.
Please contact me for more information. I can send you to a local lender where they can give you an in depth look on all of your options based on your finances and go over what the best route for you to take would be. I can also provide you with my first time home buyer packet which allows you a deeper look at what to expect during a real estate transaction!Heather HarmstonKeller Williams Realty
How do i get a comp. on a home im interested in, on zillow?
(Removed by Zillow moderator) A REALTOR in the area. They have access to CURRENT market data and far more details regarding the property in question as well as comparables in the area. This information can help you whether you are looking to negotiate an offer or put your home on the market. (Removed by Zillow moderator)Thanks!Heather HarmstonKeller Williams Realty
Want to purchase our first house but have a low credit score (594) can we still get a va loan?
It truly depends on your whole financial picture. The lender will dictate the flexibility of your personal information/finances. However there are some lenders that do qualify at a minimum 580 score. Now this being said usually your other factors have to be very promising...Low debt to income ratios, employment history, additional funds in the bank. All of those can come into play. Good Luck!
I am married and want to buy a home. Can I buy a home together with my daughter that is married too?
You can, however because Texas is a community property state this would potentially mean that each individual owns 25% of the property. You can however use a co signer with FHA and as far as loan options go you should be ok. The tricky part comes in when you look at the title information and ownership of the property. But it is possible!
Do Dallas area agents offer commission rebates to buyers?
I dont get offended when anyone asks about rebates. I haven't had that personal experience as of yet however if someone were to ask me, I would show them a list of my services and ask them which ones they do not need me to fulfill. That way I can decide if that particular clients needs can be met or not based on what they are requesting. No matter the experience level of the homebuyer, the actual home buying process is very similar once a contract is in place. Maybe the search portion is different but more than likely your still going to want to view properties that the agent will have to show you themselves just like a not so savvy homebuyer. There can be challenges even with the most seasoned buyers who are on top of there own file.
Lots of showings but no offers?
I would ask your agent what the typical time on market for your area is. They will be able to get you that information to give you a realstic idea of your market. Is it a buyers or sellers market? In my opinion you need to be even more competitive if you have gotten decent feedback and no offers. Consider a price reduction.
Un-ethical Realtors? Advice please!
In all honesty it seems as though you want someone to represent you however you went with the listing agent who decided to take down some of the commission, probably thinking you were going to get a better deal. If an agent represents the seller as a client she/he cannot represent the buyer as a client. They can however represent you as a customer. Upon disclosing the relationship you can either choose to work with the agent or get your own agent. That listing agent, however will always have the seller's best interest. They cannot provide the full services they would with a buyer. You are being represented but as a customer and not a client. If you feel cheated in some way contact the broker, if that doesn't work you can try a lawyer.
buying from owner
If neither one of you has an agent the chances of closing are somewhat unlikely. Has either of you had experience in negotiating, contracts, escrow, etc? I would suggest working with an agent on your behalf.

Kimi Raikkonen says he can still win the 2012 Drivers' Championship
Lotus driver says 2007 taught him not to give up
By William Esler
Last Updated: 19/10/12 4:50pm
The battle for the Drivers' Championship now looks to be a two-way fight between Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel and Ferrari's Fernando Alonso, with Raikkonen 48 points behind the German in third.
However, having witnessed first-hand how the situation changed during his title winning year - Raikkonen came from behind to win the final two races and pip the McLaren pair of Alonso and Lewis Hamilton by a single point - the Finn says Vettel's lead is not insurmountable.
"There's no point setting targets - we just need to keep working as hard as we can to score strong points and see what happens from there," Raikkonen said.
"In terms of the title race, the gap to Sebastian is quite big now so it will be very difficult to catch him, but we'll keep pushing all the way.
"We have to keep working hard and keep a high level of motivation. Personally I feel my own motivation is very high - like it has always been.
"I'm keen to get the best results I can. Of course, in 2007 the championship wasn't decided until the last race so anything is possible. Let's see what happens."

Folks in the city of Memphis enjoy their Tigers basketball and at no point did they show that more than when John Calipari had things rolling and Derrick Rose was running the show. In fact their support for Memphis' collegiate basketball team was so great the Grizzlies became an afterthought appearing less like a professional team and more like a JV alternative (GM Chris Wallace's words not mine). Grizzlies brass were aware of this development and it affected the way they handled business namely in the now infamous Pau Gasol trade according to Gary Washburn of the Boston Globe. "We were stuck at that point" Wallace said. "We never won a playoff game. We were heading for a second 20-something-win season. After all this is the entertainment business and the town really did not see much entertainment value in our team anymore.

Editors' note: This column was written and published in The Hockey News before the start of the conference finals.
The second round has ended, but our remarkable streak of better-than-average playoff predictions continues. We racked up a 3-1 record in the quarterfinals, missing the mark only on the Edmonton-San Jose series. Combine that with a 6-2 record in the opening round, and we're 9-3 overall this postseason. Not in the least bit shabby for somebody suckered in by the regular-season promise of the Dallas Stars.
It's going to be a little harder to continue at a .750 clip in the third round, what with only two games to predict and all. But that's what they pay us for, so brace yourself for even more of Screen Shots' semi-educated conjecture:
Western Conference finals -- Edmonton vs. Anaheim
The Showdown: With two teams capable of matching the other's skill set in just about every possible facet of the game, the Ducks-Oilers series should be a six-or-seven-game dandy.
In goal, you have to give the edge to Edmonton's Dwayne Roloson over Anaheim's Ilya Bryzgalov, even in the face of the latter's three-game postseason shutout streak. Roloson has yet to allow a weak goal in this year's playoffs, and has carried his team far more than Bryzgalov has carried the Ducks.
The Oilers also have the advantage on the blue line, thanks to the colossal contributions of snarly veterans Chris Pronger and Jason Smith. Scott Niedermayer isn't exactly chopped liver, and Francois Beauchemin and Ruslan Salei have performed beyond expectations, but Edmonton's defense corps is deeper than Anaheim's.
The same can't be said when you compare both teams' forwards. The Ducks force a relentless group of forwards down the opposition's throat, with all four lines forechecking like their lives depended on it. The Oilers are similarly committed to both ends of the rink, but coach Craig MacTavish has shortened his bench to three lines at times this spring. That accumulated wear-and-tear takes on more and more importance with each successive round, and the Oilers haven't gotten past Nashville and San Jose without paying a physical price.
Behind the bench, we like Anaheim's Randy Carlyle over MacTavish. It's another near toss-up comparison, but Carlyle has shown great creativity and focus hether his team was locked in a seven-game battle with Calgary or a relatively simple sweep of the overmatched Avalanche. MacTavish has also shown the ability to adapt, but he's had a more veteran lineup to lean on.
Overall, it appears the Oilers are defensively supreme to the Ducks, who have more offensive weaponry than does Edmonton. And in the reborn NHL, if the games are being officiated properly, superior offense should prevail over superior defense.
The Lowdown: Mighty Ducks in six
Eastern Conference finals -- Buffalo vs. Carolina
The Showdown: Before the playoffs began, we liked the Hurricanes to come out of the East. But after following the Sabres particularly closely through the first two rounds, we're not nearly so certain.
Neither Sabres goalie Ryan Miller nor his Carolina counterpart Cam Ward have the résumé to give one the nod over the other. Both have stepped up and stolen games for their teams, but both need solid play from the teammates in front of them to succeed. Call this one a dead heat.
Unlike the Western Conference finals, there is no lynchpin defenseman in this series. The Canes and Sabres each depend on a collection of youngish blue-liners aided by the presence of savvy vets such as Teppo Numminen and Glen Wesley. Again, no obvious winner here.
The virtual deadlock continues up front as Buffalo and Carolina can boast of lightning-quick, skilled forwards determined to pressure their opponent for as long as their defense will allow. In Eric Staal, the Hurricanes have the most talented skater in the series, but those who have underestimated Daniel Briere, Chris Drury and J.P. Dumont this season have regretted it almost every time. We're giving the slight edge to the Sabres.
Likewise, we'll take Buffalo's Lindy Ruff over Carolina's Peter Laviolette in yet another photo-finish. No matter who the Sabres have lost to injury this season, Ruff has coaxed consistent efforts out of his team. The Canes haven't been nearly as reliable, although it's impossible to deny Laviolette's ability to adapt to and overcome the obstacles in front of him. Razor-thin edge to Ruff and Buffalo.
Ultimately, we've been won over by the upstart Sabres. That's not to say Carolina hasn't also bowled us over with their resilience and ability, only that we see in Buffalo a team of destiny. That city could be talking proudly about its team for decades to come.
The Lowdown: Sabres in seven

Is TV's Big Food Gravy Train Being Derailed?
Big Food has a bellyache, and it's giving Madison Avenue a migraine. The problem for the nation's packaged-food giants is that consumer tastes are changing faster than they seem to be capable of keeping up with.

The eSports phenomenon has taken flight -- and its sponsorship marketplace is beginning to take shape.
Public Broadcasting Podcasts: Stories Worth Selling
The voracious consumer appetite for podcasts is paying off for the usually outstretched hand of public broadcasting. Even the "seen everything" agency types at last week's Advertising Week conferred star status on the three panelists set to reveal the secret sauce that makes their public broadcasting podcasts so popular and so compelling for exposure-hungry brands.
Nine TV Research Companies: Comparative Attributes
This is the fourth installment in our series "What are Data Companies Contributing to the TV Market?" about the various data solutions for television measurement being offered by data companies in the industry. In the column that follows we will delve into the attributes of the data and its use in television.

Amid All the Digital Hype, Don't Forget: TV Wins Elections!
Political campaigns are about winning. As we head into the 2016 election cycle, campaign managers and their media strategists would be well served by keeping in perspective the myriad new digital advertising platforms available to them and their utility in helping them win, because while digital tools are a great supplement to the tried and true method of reaching voters through local broadcast television, a political campaign focused primarily on digital tools risks losing if decision-makers don't keep the facts in mind.

Agency Reviews Decided at a Cost of Millions
Slowly but surely the pitch cycle turns, as a few more mega clients involved in pitch-bonanza-time declare their results and decide on a home for their media budgets. There's a certain and rather pleasing symmetry to the recent set of results. Three recent results, three different solutions.
"Netflix and Chill": Binge-Watching Reaches a Whole New Level
This week, on Mindshare's Culture Vulture Live, Aimee Goldfarb talks about the evolution of Netflix in culture. TV addicts, this news is for you: Netflix is playing to the makers movement with the announcement of a connected button called "Netflix and Chill." While you can't actually purchase the button, Netflix has published instructions for how to create this homegrown device.
Executive Perspectives: Jack Myers
Jack Myers is a Media Ecologist, and as such, he studies media agencies and how these agencies are choosing to spend their media money and on whom they are choosing to spend their money on. The emergence of digital video and the Internet of things (IoT) are massive industry game-changers, as marketing data can come from a multitude of sources. The data is all about the usage, the interpretation and the application of data and this is how media agencies need to position themselves in order to evolve within the industry. Myers has noticed the changes in the bigger media landscape as well. Many networks have moved from a more traditional, impression-based model to a performance-based model, therefore continuing to capitalize on all the emerging trends.

Industry Leaders React to comScore's Acquisition of Rentrak
I have to admit that I was surprised by the news that comScore was acquiring Rentrak. While I expected more consolidation in the media measurement space, I didn't envision that it would be two big players joining forces but rather the continued ingestion of smaller companies by larger companies. This acquisition is not only a brilliant tactical move, it is also strategic: It might finally move analytics and insights in such a way that the industry shifts from the proxy metric of age and gender and into a more standardize-able cross platform measurement.
Newspaper Media Influences Key Constituents
As candidates for the 2016 presidential election declare their candidacy they are also honing in on target constituents, platforms, messaging and media choices. Even at this early stage, targeted reach and differentiation are paramount. What we can all agree on thus far is that the key voters who will "swing the election" are Millennials, Women, Independents, African Americans, Hispanics and Seniors – and, local newspaper media reaches them all in a trustworthy environment.
Give Peace a Chance
In case you missed it, Burger King placed an open letter in today's New York Times and Chicago Tribune asking McDonald's to come together on September 21 "Peace One Day" — cast their differences aside with an unprecedented proposition. They are asking to share resources – crew and ingredients in one single pop-up location (based in Atlanta which is neutral ground) to create, serve and sell the McWhopper with all proceeds benefiting Peace One Day" (a not-for-profit).

Auvergne is one of the 27 administrative regions of France. It comprises the 4 departments of Allier, Puy de Dome, Cantal and Haute Loire.The current administrative region of Auvergne is larger than the historical province of Auvergne, and includes provinces and areas that historically were not part of Auvergne.
The region contains many volcanoes, although the last confirmed eruption was around 6,000 years ago. They began forming some 70,000 years ago, and most have eroded away leaving plugs of unerupted hardened magma that form rounded hilltops known as puys.

BEIJING, Oct 26 (Reuters) - A top Chinese leader haspromised "unprecedented" economic and societal reforms at theCommunist Party's much anticipated plenum meeting next month,state media reported on Saturday.
Yu Zhengsheng, the fourth-ranked member in the elitePolitburo Standing Committee of the Communist Party, said theclosed-door meeting would "principally explore the issue of deepand comprehensive reforms".
"The reforms this time will be broad, with major strength,and will be unprecedented," he said, according to the officialXinhua news agency.
"Inevitably they will strongly push forward profoundtransformations in the economy, society and other spheres."
Yu's comments are among the first from China's top leadersabout the plenum, where President Xi Jinping is expected topress for greater economic reforms.
The broad reform agenda is expected to steer the world'ssecond-largest economy, which is experiencing slowing growth,from a reliance on debt-fuelled investment to a more balancedmodel driven more by consumption, services and innovation.
The meeting will mark the third time China's elite200-member Central Committee has gathered since a leadershiptransition last year.
Historically, third plenums in China have served as aspringboard for key economic reforms. Political reform is notexpected to be a major point of discussion.
China's cabinet has called for greater effort in revampingthe economy because a recovery is not yet solid.
China's $8.5 trillion economy grew at its fastest pace thisyear between July and September in a rebound fuelled largely byinvestment, although signs are already emerging the pick-up inactivity may lose some vigour. China still expects to meet itseconomic targets for this year, including growth of 7.5 percent.
China this week launched a new benchmark lending rate, aimedat letting markets set the cost of funds and reducingdistortions that have led to excessive investment andovercapacity now dogging the economy.
At the plenum, the reform agenda is likely to featurefinancial and tax reforms, but may also address persistentissues such as hastening urbanisation through land reforms andliberalising China's household registration system, whichrestricts migration between rural areas and cities.
Critics have said that vested interests, especiallystate-owned enterprises, could stymie reforms.
Former leader Deng Xiaoping launched historic reforms at thethird plenum of the 11th party committee in 1978 to rescue theeconomy from the verge of collapse after Mao Zedong's disastrousCultural Revolution.

Increasing Obsolete Pricepoints Takes Nerve
Monday March 21st, 2011 - 7:13AM
These are shortcuts to your favorite social networking and bookmark sites. Add this story to your Facebook page, del.icio.us, DiggIt, and many others!
If you think it takes a lot of nerve to ask people to pay more for everyday housewares as they brace for $5 a gallon at the gas pump, you might want to stop here.<
> Intrigued? Read on.<
> At the risk of dousing the glow of what was the most business-stimulating International Home + Housewares Show in a number of years, the pricing pressure on this industry threatens to choke its momentum without any extra assistance from the latest oil scare.
Careful Consumerism
Retail pricing objectives in housewares are obsolete. The business is long overdue for a cooperative effort among vendors and their customers to do something about it.<
> Of primary concern should be that rampantly escalating raw material, energy and labor costs are forcing suppliers to adjust manufacturing specs to continue satisfying retail assortments that have been divided into ingrained pricepoint slots. Confidence remains tenuous as shopping enthusiasm swells in this rebuilding economy. The new foundation of careful consumerism is still setting, and it could be undermined easily by diminished quality just to keep hitting all those "magic" pricepoints.<
> The industry's bag of tricks is emptying when it comes to absorbing soaring production and distribution costs. Then it's only fair that everybody should have to pay a little more. The manufacturers. The vendors. The retailers. And the consumers.
Perception Is Reality<
> Retailers often seem to be operating under a premise that moving a basic mop, for instance, from a pricepoint of $9.99 to $10.49 could bring the basic mop market to a screeching halt. Nobody is willing to put it to the test. The perception continues as the reality. <
> So we have a game of chicken between vendors and retailers on price increases with retailers often unwilling to flinch on pre-set pricepoint thresholds that many would argue settled considerably lower than they needed to be.<
> Consumers don't create pricepoint expectations. The trade does. <
> Nobody is advocating an outrageous jump in basic pricepoints that would stun shoppers. But it is time for retailers to ease everyday pricepoints upward, more in line with the cost of goods and services. Mounting industry pricing tension could be relieved now to prevent sudden, severe snaps in the supply chain later.
Fair Value<
> The housewares industry is at a crossroads where it can't reduce costs further without reducing quality; and where it can't increase function further without increasing prices. Take the latter.<
> Bells and whistles are fine as long as they're not distracting consumers from shortcuts taken to sustain outdated retail pricing norms. Rising costs are the opening for inching up the everyday retail price bar in this business. <
> Turn the talk from price increases to delivering better products and letting everyone— suppliers, retailers and consumers alike— get fair value for them.<
> Most consumers have no clue about everything that factors into the retail pricing of any given product. They also don't know how good they have had it for years when it comes to sinking pricepoints for basic housewares. <
> They'll still justify slightly higher pricepoints for reliable quality before they justify lower-quality product… if you have the nerve to give them that choice.<
> Intrigued?

The holiday season must be approaching, because retailers are adding items to their wish lists. I don't mean the products expected to be big sellers during the fourth quarter. I'm referring to new demands by retailers to their suppliers for fees, price allowances and other hands-tying arrangements.

Video Game: Asura Series
The Asura series is composed of two little-known 2D arcade fighting games (The first one, Asura Blade: Sword of Dynasty, was released in 1998, and its' sequel, Asura Buster: Eternal Warriors was released two years later in 2000) created by a small Japanese video game company named Fuuki. It mostly revolves around weapons fighting and sorcery, and it's stylized backgrounds are surprisingly detailed and eye-catching.The storyline of Asura Blade: Sword of Dynasty deals with a cruel and ruthless warlord named S. Geist who supposedly wields the legendary Sword of Dynasty and that he seeks to release an ancient sealed beast known only as the Earth Dragon so that he can harness its destructive power and easily Take Over the World. Eight warriors have set out upon their own personal journeys to find the Sword of Dynasty, not knowing that their paths will cross with each other and that their own battles would eventually determine the fate of the world itself.Asura Buster: Eternal Warriors, which is set three years later after Asura Blade: Sword of Dynasty would center around a megalomaniacal king who had sought to make himself into the absolute ruler of the entire world and that he would threaten and eliminate those who would dare to oppose him. Some of the fighters from the last game, along with a few new ones, set out to stop the tyrant before he's able to go through with his malevolent ambition.Even though the Asura series didn't exactly catch on during the time of fighting game craze and that its own developing company, Fuuki went out of business a few years later, it has since gained a small Cult Classic following, especially when it was discovered from within MAME.Not to be confused with Asura's Wrath.
This game provides examples of:
- An Axe to Grind: Taros can turn his bottom half into an axe.
- Bare-Fisted Monk: Footee in the first game, Chen Mao in the second.
- Dual Wielding: Lightning in the first, Leon in the second game.
- Expy: Several. Yashaou may remind you Crono, another sword-wielding, Red-Headed Hero, Rosemary's appearance is very similar to another Rose, and Goat can pass off as an evil Cloud Strife.
- Golem: Taros is supposed to be one of these, but his immense size makes him more of a Humongous Mecha.
- Jiggle Physics: Rosemary in the second game. Seriously, those things have a mind of their own.
- Katanas Are Just Better: Yashaou.
- Leotard of Power: Rosemary.
- Lightning Bruiser: Footee, to the point where she's a borderline Game Breaker.
- Ms. Fanservice: Rosemary, a busty, sword-wielding babe who wears a skintight leotard. Even more evident in the sequel, where her already generous bust increase several cup sizes and gains Jiggle Physics that would make Mai blush.
- Necromancer: Alice
- Ninja: Rokurouta in the 2nd game.
- Playing with Fire: Yashaou.
- Punny Name: The small, undead character appropriately named "Zam-B" (Zombie).
- Sexy Walk: Rosemary.
- Shock and Awe: Lightning.
- SNK Boss: Curfue. It has to be seen to be believed.
- S. Geist can be this as well for inexperienced players.
- Suspiciously Similar Substitute:
- Subverted. Leon was intended to be Lightning's replacement for the second game, but instead chose to give him an entirely different moveset and gameplay style.
- Token Mini-Moe: Alice
- Voluntary Shapeshifter: Nanami in the 2nd game.
- You Gotta Have Blue Hair: Rosemary, Sittara, and Alice.

Duran Duran performs with Neon Trees on Thursday, Oct. 13 at the Amphitheatre. Gates open at 5:30 p.m. and show starts at 7 p.m. Tickets are $49.50, $59.50, $69.50, $89 and $125
To say Duran Duran is a band of legends is an understatement.
The group, which formed in Birmingham, England in 1978, has sold more than 100 million records, had 18 American hit singles, won two Grammy Awards and helped transform the music video industry to feature big budget films with narrative storylines and exotic locations.
The newly opened St. Augustine Sculpture Garden will be the site of a new concert series beginning Sept. 11.
The "Second Sunday Music in the Garden" series will be comprised of four concerts, each of which will include a 90- minute live musical performance as well as a short presentation about one of the sculptures installed in the garden by its artist.
The second concert, from 2 to 4 p.m. Oct. 9, will feature guitarist and songwriter Sam Pacetti.
Ralph Stanley will be at the Ponte Vedra Concert Hall on Oct. 8.
Stanley, a Grammy Award-winning banjo player and bluegrass music singer and songwriter, headlined the 2009 Gamble Rogers Folk Festival in St. Augustine.
Stanley won Grammy Awards for Best Bluegrass Album, Best Country Male Vocalist Performance and Album of the Year (for his part in the "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" Collection). He has performed on more than 170 albums
Friday, Oct. 7
Travis Tritt will return to the Ponte Vedra Concert Hall next January after performing on Feb. 24 of this year.
Unlike other mainstream country acts, Tritt doesn't wear a cowboy hat and includes elements of rock 'n roll in his music.
Tritt has been on the country music scene since the '90s and won two Grammy awards for his work on the singles "The Whiskey Ain't Workin'" and "Same Old Train."
Tritt will be on stage at 8 p.m. Jan. 29, with doors opening at 7 p.m. Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 8. Tickets are $65.50 and $77.50 per person.
Rock Band 3 Doors Down will play the stage Oct. 5 at the St. Augustine Amphitheatre as part of the upcoming tour in support of their most recent release, "Time of My Life."
Opening acts scheduled include Theory of a Deadman and PopEvil.
3 Doors Down performed to a sold-out crowd in March 2008 in the Amphitheatre.
The band rose to national fame with their first single, "Kryptonite," which charted in the top three on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Self PromotionI am looking for fresh, new, creative ideas in self promotion. My area has been hard hit with loss of industry and the general economy. I have not done any self promotion in many years since all of my work resulted from referrals.
I am brainstorming with a few of my colleagues and would like additional input to keep me aware of what is out there these days. Tell me what you have done that was successful in obtaining good clients.
Thanks for your time.

networking events, I don't know where you are at, but in the USA we have whats called 'Chamber of commerce' and they usually have weekly 'mixers' and networking oppurtunities. it costs around the same as the AIGA to be a member, but you can meet face to face with people sometimes 3 times a week. Here in AZ we have Phoenix Chamber, Scottsdale, Tempe, Chandler, even a chamber for hispanic and black cultures. Look into these options in your area. Also if you join any kind of small business networking events that helps too.

Our great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is privately controlled. We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated governments in the civilized world. No government by free opinion, no longer a government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a government by the opinion and duress of small groups of men. - Woodrow Wilson
D-Frag is just full of useful information.

D-Frag's right. Networking events are biggies. I did very well at County Chamber of Commerce meetings in picking up work. Also keep your ears open for opportunities in conversation - if you hear that a friend of a friend of yours is opening up a new coffee shop - ask if they have a logo or corporate identity. Things can really start to get rolling.
As for the creative aspect of self promoting - I have recently been very enthralled with tactile design - using physical elements in unique ways (other than paper) in your material.
For example, instead of a business card - you could use very small semi-translucent envelopes made of finely ridged paper, shaped like business cards with only your essential information printed on them. I saw one designer do this in a book I bought on tactile design and he said that the "non-card" recipients would open the envelope and look inside even though they knew it was empty. The designer said that everybody thought it was very clever and it did quite well in getting him work. This doesn't have to be the particular approach you use - but you may want to think "outside the box" in your total mindset of communicating your brand. Think in 3D.

In Einstein's Mistakes, Hans C. Ohanian draws on his own background in physics to gleefully point out some of Einstein's more glaring errors. That part of the book is solid, and readers will find a capable guide in Ohanian. What might be less engaging is the author's fast-and-loose writing style (Van Gogh became a great artist "when he went bonkers") and a tendency to botch some of the historical facts (related to Einstein's research, his Nobel Prize, and so forth) that underpin much of the narrative. Still, the book's ambitious scope—when calling out Einstein, writers weak of heart need not apply—and Ohanian's self-assured reportage make this a worthwhile read. Bring your thinking cap.
Copyright 2008 Bookmarks Publishing LLC
*Starred Review* In this "forensic biography," Ohanian shows astonished readers that the most brilliant scientist of the twentieth century was frequently found making—in his own words—"a sacrifice on the altar of stupidity." The great physicist's admirers may already know that Einstein foolishly defied the quantum revolution he helped launch. The well-informed may even know something of Einstein's disastrous missteps in his personal life. But it will come as a revelation to most readers that scientists have identified serious flaws in four of the five papers that established Einstein's reputation during his annus mirabilis of 1905. Ohanian drops an even bigger bombshell in documenting Einstein's repeated failure to provide a valid proof for his most famous equation: E = mc2. More surprising than the number and severity of Einstein's errors, however, is the mystifying way the Berne genius reached correct—even revolutionary—conclusions despite these mistakes. In strange ways, some of Einstein's blunders (such as the synchronization error in his "Special Relativity" paper) actually helped him achieve theoretical breakthroughs. Drawing on Arthur Koestler's provocative analysis of Kepler, Ohanian characterizes Einstein as a similarly charmed sleepwalker whose profound intuition guided him to epoch-making conclusions along tortured pathways. A compelling portrait of a titan who stumbled his way into immortality. --Bryce ChristensenSee all Editorial Reviews

Another E.L.F winner!!!! This brush is amazing! It is the softest thing ever. I have had other kabukis and none compare. They have all since been tossed in the trash. This is the softest thing ever, picks up and blends makeup like a dream. Again the cost...worth ever penny. I believe it was $5 and totally worth it. I use mine daily. It gets spot cleaned daily and deep cleaned once a week, 0 loss of bristles. Bounces right back to its original shape looking as good as new. I have used it with a variety of powders and even some liquids, and I have no complaints.
A fabulous product at a fabulous price. Definitely would repurchase,

This has become one of my ELF favorites and one of my most used brushes. I use it to buff after applying foundation or powder so that everything looks smooth, even and perfect. It is incredibly soft and does not shed. It washes off easily and I like the bottom is white, so you can immediately tell if your brush is clean. Highly recommended.

Where to start with this little gem... how can something so close to perfection be so incredibly cheap? $3USD!!!
It is incredibly soft, it is a multi-tasker, and it lasts. But the best bit - it blends flawlessly!
The fibres are synthetic, hence the softness. This makes it ideal for any kind of product, be it liquid, cream or powder.
I use this kabuki for the following:
- Application and blending of mineral foundation;
- Blending of mineral corrector;
- Application and blending of a variety of powders, including mineral finishing powder, HD powder (silica based), translucent loose powder, pressed powder, MSFN, MAC Blot powder, rice powder.
- Blending and softening of blush, contour and highlight;
- Application of powder based products to other parts of the body, e.g. neck and décolleté, shoulders, arms, etc.
I had a collection of kabukis up until I bought the ELF kabuki over a year ago. I have ditched all my other kabukis, except for my A'Squirrel kabuki set that I occasionally use for special occasion makeup.
I use this brush every day, and I will purchase another one should something happen to mine.
Everyone should buy one of these brushes to at least try it – for $3, what have you got to lose?

I LOVE THIS BRUSH! I have tons of brushes and when I first got it, I used to use it to apply my mineral veil at the end of my make up routine or decrease the intensity of my blush if overdone. Well, it's sooo wonderful that it went from being just one of the brushes to THE brush. I use it to apply my mineral loose powder make up.
-Super soft
-no shedding! (Even my mac brushes shed, my elf kabuki, doesn't!)
If you want a kabuki, get this one. You won't regret it. It's an amazing brush and it happens to be super affordable!
I ordered two more elf kabukis, and I go them on 11/14/2011. Well, they ARE NOTHING like they used to be. They are significantly smaller, not dense at all, and they aren't as soft. I'M SO DISAPPOINTED!

Absolute HG. I use this everyday to pat on my Smashbox Halo powder, and it works perfectly. So soft. It's never shed a bit. I'm actually upset when this brush is dirty and I have to use something else.

This is my first kabuki brush so I have nothing to compare it to but I really can't see what could be wrong with it. It's dense enough, doesn't shed at all (and I've washed it once or twice since I got it), it looks great and it also dries quite fast. It's smaller than I expected it to be but not less useful because of it, it's quite adorable actually. I got it on sale for 3€ and I'm very happy with it. I use it to blend my bronzer and blush so I get a more natural result and no harsh lines. Would definitely repurchase.
Edit: After a year (and even before that) I don't think this brush is holding up so well, it's not shedding but the bristles are definitely not as soft anymore. I might have to replace it soon.

This kabuki brush is not as dense as a kabuki brush should be. To me, its more like Sigma's SS150 large powder brush, but denser. Its big and fluffy, great for applying powder foundation. It will not be dense enough if you really want to buff the powder into your skin and the bristles are a little too long too. Its in between a Sigma kabuki brush and SS150 in terms of how densely packed the bristles are. I can use it to smooth and even out my cream blush and it works well.
The bristles are synthetic, very soft and smooth. To me is a not bad powder brush.
