SPRINGVILLE, UT -- (Marketwire) -- 01/11/13 -- CirclePix.com, LLC (CirclePix), which specializes in comprehensive, automated marketing solutions for real estate professionals, announced today the launch of its new website at CirclePix.com which is designed to serve not only broker clients but also agents who individually want to tap into the most automated, comprehensive marketing services available on the market through CirclePix STAR Marketing. CirclePix STAR Marketing gives agents and brokers a unique opportunity to market real estate with digital, video, integration, and automation capabilities that are truly cutting edge in the industry.
CirclePix STAR Marketing provides a dynamic marketing campaign that includes online, email, text, social networking, photo/video, and mobile capabilities, as well as search engine optimization (SEO) and lead-generation tools which can generate hundreds of leads for capturing the invisible buyer and a competitive edge. Nowhere else can brokers and agents access multiple services with a single login and password to meet a diverse and full menu of services, and for one low monthly fee.
"Typically real estate brokerages and agents outsource services, buying a system here or there from different companies who specialize in a single service such as SEO or YouTube videos or a host of others. They pay a monthly fee to each company and log in with a different password for each of several services through a different company each time," said Robert Davis, CEO, CirclePix.
"For the same price an agent typically pays out to each different company, they can pay us instead and receive a comprehensive, automated campaign managed by one company, accessed conveniently by one password, and for much less time and effort. CirclePix STAR Marketing puts the whole range of services needed under one umbrella," said Davis.
"We've honed our services to be cutting edge with video capability, enhanced social media offerings, and a CirclePix app. At the same time, they're user friendly and completely automated," said Greg Gehring, CirclePix COO.
"Once data is loaded onto the MLS we can automatically create property sites, videos, a mobile platform, Twitter, Facebook and blogger offerings, to name a few. Then, when a broker drops the price of a home on the MLS, the price change is automatically changed and reflected on all platforms, from social media to blogs so that brokers don't even have to log in. STAR Marketing brings everything together and is so seamless that we like to call it 'AutoMagic,'" said Gehring.
In addition to its new website, CirclePix also now offers a new CirclePix App which is integrated into the CirclePix STAR Marketing platform, allowing agents to upload video from their mobile device directly to their CirclePix Property Site at the touch of a finger. CirclePix App allows them to bypass extra time, effort and additional steps typically required when agents upload video to YouTube or other sites and then link to their site. The app is offered for free at Google Play and the iTunes App Store and is compatible with iPhone, iPad, iPod touch and any smart phone using the Android operating system.
CirclePix STAR Marketing is straightforward and requires minimal time and effort from real estate agents. Once an agent uploads a listing to the MLS, CirclePix automatically creates a campaign for that listing which includes links to major real estate portals, video files, lead generation, mobile tours, search engine optimization (SEO), QR codes and more without any further effort by the agent. Additional marketing services targeted to reach clients through a broad spectrum of media can also be selected, such as social networking, blogs, hard-copy marketing and much more.
CirclePix services are designed so that each and every agent can take advantage of its tools. CirclePix supports its marketing platform with a training program designed to meet the technological and practical needs of subscribed agents. Daily, weekly and monthly tutorial and webinar training options are offered to aid agents in the effective use of CirclePix tools. Additionally, each agent has access to a professional support team for on-call, live customer support, and a detailed statistic report on a weekly basis so agents can track where their marketing efforts are most successful.

Water, poverty and inland fisheries: lessons from Africa and Asia
Relying on experience from West Africa and the Mekong Basin, the authors contend that small-scale inland fisheries are a critical element in the livelihoods of many farming households who live near water bodies in developing countries. Empirical evidence suggests that the relation between poverty and small-scale fisheries cannot be reduced to a simple correlation with income. A more thorough analysis is required.

Backpacking boots with gaiter included. Just got the boots, so this might change. After a short walk in an inch of snow I am impressed by the grip of the soles. After using them most of the day as "regular" shoes/boots they still impressed me. They had an exceptional grip, comfortable to walk with both on and off road. I stood for 10 minutes with water almost to the top of the boot and it was still dry. After being used to boots that needed more than a few miles to break-in I was surprised to find… Full review

Great boot! Naturally wide and no break-in. I spent a lot of time and money on La Sportiva, Salomon, Vasque, North Face, Kennetrek and Meindl. Crispi are the only ones that fit me well and accommodate my wide toe box and narrow heel. I got mine through Miles Munger. Nobody sells them in Denver and none of the other so-called distributors would ship for free. Miles Munger of Crispi NA (crispi.usa) shipped me six different sizes and styles to try. As long as they weren't worn outside or dirty, he… Full review

Unethical business. I'm writing this review not about the quality of the boots, but the poor business practices of this organization. I purchased a pair of Nevadas from the website. They came in the wrong size. No problem, I called Miles and he emailed me a shipper to send them back, which I did the same day. I received the correct size and tried them on for fit and found they didn't fit me in the toe box. I called Miles again and explained the problem and asked to send them back for a refund. Note,… Full review

Felt broken in right out of the box. Very comfortable with great ankle support. Great traction for the snow and ice here in North Dakota. I wear these boots every day at work and play. I am on my feet all day long outside in the snow, sleet, rain, mud, mostly off road where it is very rough. I also use them for upland bird hunting, deer hunting, and fishing. I abuse my footwear. Most boots don't last me 7 months and they are trashed. These Crispis are really holding their own. I am very happy with… Full review

Great, great boots. Wore for 1 mile hike than went to CO. Put on many miles. Unbelievable comfort. I was on my feet in CO 13 hours a day. At the end of the day when I took them off, my feet felt like they had not even been out for a hike. I am in my 50s and have hunted the West for almost 40 years and have never had boots that didn't fatigue my feet, until now. Great support. Kept feet dry and warm. Have great grip on rocks. If I could afford to, I would be wearing these every day. No break-in required. Full review

This Craftsman garage design offers storage for up to two cars plus an additional car in the attached carport. Both garage doors are 9' wide and 8' tall. At the back main floor of the garage is the entry and a kitchenette with stairs leading to the second floor recreation room. This space could also be used as an guest apartment or suite for older children returning from college looking to live at home for awhile. A full bathroom and stacking washer and drier are on the second level along with the window rich observatory loft.
Nobody expects everyone to like the same decor themes. Yet it does make it tough for couples to decide what type of furnishings and decorations to have in their home. You like the traditional decor with classic furniture, rich colors and 18th-century Old World architecture while your spouse lives for the modern designs with clean lines and simple neutral colors. It's okay that your personalities don't match. You can combine both styles in the same decor theme while having a beautiful home.
Combine Modern Furnishings With Traditional Artwork
You can easily combine modern and traditional styles by pairing artwork with furnishings. Choose classical and Old World paintings with the modern lines of couches and chairs. The bold colors of the paintings will look well with the softer tones of the furniture. You can also switch it around and select traditional furniture with modern artwork.
Mix And Match Furniture
There is no reason why you can't mix and match traditional and modern furniture so long as one style doesn't dominate the other. You can have modern couches with a few traditional accent chairs or a antique English coffee table to bring the furnishings together. Also, many modern pieces of furniture will have modern twists to their designs as you can have both decor styles in the same piece of furniture.
Look At Other Elements Of The Room To Combine Both Designs
You can find numerous ways to combine traditional design styles or modern design styles to the room besides incorporating them into the furniture or artwork. Look at the floor. You can find beautiful modern or traditional area rugs. Place modern furniture on traditional rugs with traditional paintings on the wall to create a unique decor theme. You can also select modern vases, traditional bookcases, wall sconces and knick knacks that capture both you and your spouses design personality.
Don't Forget To Use Paint Colors To Your Advantage
You may win out over your spouse as you are able to have the traditional style furnishings that your crave. Yet that doesn't mean your spouse can't also have his modern look in the room. Look toward painting the walls and trim with muted and neutral modern colors. The wall colors can complement the furniture as you can take the rich colors from the upholstery and use muted versions of the colors for the walls, ceiling and trim in the room. You can also create modern designs along the wall using paint stencils to create interesting striped lines and borders.
No matter where you are in the Silvercrest contemporary ranch-style home, silvery natural light flows in through richly glassed banks of multi-paned windows.
Outside, sunbeams dance across the glass as the panes catch the light. Choosing a wide lot with a vista to the rear would maximize the view.
Nowhere is the interior illumination more impressive than in the vaulted hexagonal great room at the core of the home, where two banks of glass fill most of the three rear walls.
In the center section, two sets of French doors open onto a large deck that wraps across the entire back. In the walls to the left and right, the lower window sections are about the same height as the doors, but underscored by stone veneer wainscoting. Wide transom windows crown all of the rear windows and doors.
Entering through the arched entry, you cross a transverse hallway and have a moment to appreciate family treasures in an art niche before entering into the great room. The hallway to the left leads to the utility room and owners' suite. Heading right takes you past an opening to the kitchen, and on to secondary bedrooms, basement stairs, and a two-car garage.
A pony wall provides both openness and separation between the kitchen and the rest of the great room. Cooks at the range can keep an eye on the entire space, as can people on the clean-up crew. The sink and dishwasher are lined up along a peninsular counter rimmed by an eating bar. Features in the owners' suite include a walk-in shower, soaking tub, dual vanity and access to the deck. Bedrooms two and three share a bathroom.
Associated Designs, a national home design firm located in Eugene, Oregon, has seen the desire to move several generations under one roof with requests for unique house plans to fit more family members. The talented designers are intrigued with the multigenerational concept, and have used their more than 46 years of combined home design experience to keep a watchful eye on trending ideas in the home designers' arena. As a result of this expertise in home plan needs, the ranch-style Kinglsey 30-184 was designed perfectly formulated for multi-family living.
With the main house linked by a covered walkway to a small cottage at rear, the Kingsley, is actually two houses in one. The cottage is ideal for older children, not quite ready to fly the nest, or aged parents who enjoy their privacy but also appreciate sharing time with the family. Its kitchenette is adequate for breakfast and lunch preparation, but not designed for complex meals.
Inside the main house, the skylit kitchen is large with a panoramic view of both gathering spaces, plus scenes framed by windows in three directions.
Outfitted with stools, one stretch of the kitchen counter serves as an eating and conversation bar. A vaulted ceiling expands the volume of the living room, and in the dining room, French doors open onto a partially covered patio.
Laundry appliances, deep sink, and a roomy pantry are mere steps from the kitchen, housed in a combination utility/mud room that's also accessible from the patio.
Storage space is abundant in the bedroom wing. Three closets nestle into spaces in the hallway, and the owners' suite has two roomy walk-in closets as well. In the second bedroom a closet fills one whole wall.
The Kingsley's owners' bath is fully outfitted with a double vanity, shower and private water closet. Space that could have been used to create another bedroom has been devoted to a private den. Connected to the owners' suite by a hallway, this room could also serve as a small home office.
With this home plan, you get two houses in one. The Kingsley is perfectly designed for everyone to reside together, in peace and harmony.

You've packed your toothbrush and your travel wallet. You are ready to get away from the big city and travel to that second home by the mountains, lake or in countryside where you can have a relaxing a peaceful weekend getaway. While you may have packed the essentials for yourself and the family, don't forget that your second dwelling will need to be prepared for your stay, even for those short vacations.
Shower Curtains
It may sound like a weird thing to pack away with the sweaters and beauty care products. Yet if you haven't been to the second home for awhile, and hadn't done any cleaning to the bathroom before leaving, then the existing shower curtains can look and smell a bit musty or moldy. While you can spend your time cleaning off the soap scum during the weekend, it's a whole lot simpler to just bring along a pack of shower curtains. Take a few minutes of your day to hang them up and then head out to have some fun knowing that you can come back to a relaxing bath or shower with clean shower curtains hanging in the bathroom.
Temperatures can change unexpected. Keep warm without pushing up the heating bill by stowing away a few blankets for the bed. Also stow away an extra cuddling blanket for the sofa so you can stay warm on those quiet evenings while watching television or playing card games with the kids. Just hang the extra blanket on the back of the couch so it will be ready whenever you need it.
No matter how many towels we think the second home has, we always end up using more than expected. So pack away extra kitchen towels to clean up any kid's messes and bathroom towels in case you invite extra guests to come along on the trip. With the extra towels, you won't be spending so much time doing laundry when you are only spending two or three days in the vacation home.
Packable Wireless Speakers
You are having a fun evening playing board games and poker with the family. Unfortunately, it would be an even better time if the kids didn't have their earbuds on as you have to shout at them to take their turns at the game. Let everyone share in the music with packable wireless speakers. These speakers can easily be stowed away into a travel bag. They also don't look gaudy with the rest of the furnishings like other types of speakers out on the market as the solid walnut casing and graphite grill has a modern look that will match perfectly into the rest of the decor.
The Ottawa's vaulted great room is full of natural light and the core of design. Windows and atrium doors fill most of the front wall, and more are stacked above where they sparkle across the front gable. A mirror-image window set fills the rear gable. This design allows you to appreciate any view your lot may offer and also makes this a great vacation home plan.
The lofty and majestic great room forms the home's center. To enter, you walk across the covered front porch and through one of the atrium doors. The entire space is so open that you can see through to the rear windows. Another windowed door there, and is flanked by sidelights, opens onto another covered patio.
A gas fireplace is located in one front corner of the great room, and a stack of built-in bookcases runs along the wall next to it. Also bounding the vaulted kitchen is a lengthy, raised conversation bar with an inner, lower counter that doubles as a work island.
Around the corner is a large walk-in pantry, a powder room, and a utility room, along with direct access to a two-car garage that features extra storage space along the back.
Three bedrooms are down a hallway to the left of the great room.
The owners' suite takes up half of that wing, while secondary bedrooms, their shared bathroom, and a deep storage closet fill the other half.
In the owners' suite, the private bathroom has a double vanity, large shower and a private toilet. A large walk-in closet has plenty of shelf space along with the clothing rods. One of the other two bedrooms is slightly larger than the other and has more shelf storage space.
Ideal for a narrow city lot or out on rural property, the Carthage house plan will bring country charm to where ever you choose to build it. The entry is around the corner of the large covered porch. The main level is spacious and open with the gathering spaces in the rear of the home. One bedroom is located on the main floor and could also serve as a guest suite or office. The second floor features another bedroom, utility room and owners' suite that has a roomy walk-in shower. The garage is connected by a covered breezeway which can be adjusted in length for the building lot. This garage provides you with additional ground level storage as well as a second floor recreation room and full bathroom.
Humans are very visual as we associate colors with our feelings, behaviors and personalities. So it isn't any wonder that certain colors can create more relaxing moods while other colors instill passion and romance. When you are debating about what colors to use when designing the home decor, keep in mind the type of mood you want to create. Also, colors can have an interesting affect on the home itself. Some colors can make a room feel larger than it actually is or create a sense of coziness to large rooms so the huge space doesn't feel overwhelming. The colors can also improve the function of a room.
Picking Colors To Set A Mood
Our personalities can be reflected in the colors we choose for our homes. A person with a bright and sunny personality may select a range of yellows and oranges to decorate a home while a person who loves the great outdoors may select more earth tones of greens and browns. So pick out colors when you are trying to create a certain mood in the room or reflect who you are as a person. Here are certain feelings and moods that particular colors can create for people when they walk into a room.
• Red: passion, excitement, stimulation, strength
• Blue: peace, calmness, loyalty, tranquility, quietness
• Brown: warmth, practicality, reliability, comfort
• Green: hope, nurturing, health, generosity
• White: purity, peace, innocence, humility
• Yellow: joy, hope, happiness, optimism
• Black: elegance, power, wealth, mystery
Picking Colors To Hide Flaws
Colors can also be used to hide certain flaws that you don't want people to see, or enhance particular architectural features that you want to stand out. Often, people will use different colors to change the size of the room. If a person has a small room, they will use lighter colors to make the room feel as if it is more spacious than what it is. The use of darker colors can make a large room feel smaller and more cozy.
Picking Colors To Enhance The Function Of A Room
People like to work in bright kitchens as they can see the meals that they are cooking and eating. So people will choose brighter colors for the room because these colors can reflect more light. Brighter colors also work well in gym rooms, small bathrooms and craft rooms. Dark and cool colors are suitable in rooms such as cozy dens and home theater entertainment rooms where you want a more shaded and warm atmosphere to relax in while watching movies or playing video games.
An accessible two-bedroom guest cottage at the rear gives the ranch-style Darrington house plan exceptional versatility. The detached cottage could comfortably house a family member or two, or it could be rented out as a separate unit.
The main house family living areas fill the left wing, and bedrooms fill the right. Natural light spills into the vaulted living room through a large set of windows. The masonry fireplace there offers a warm and welcoming focal point.
The ceiling drops and flattens where the living room flows into the kitchen/dining area. Standing at the kitchen sink, you face into the dining room across an eating bar. Light washes in through a skylight and windows on two sides. One set opens onto a large covered patio. Laundry appliances are nearby, in a utility room with patio access.
Another vaulted ceiling expands the owners' suite, which boasts two walk-in closets, patio access, a compact bathroom, and a roomy sitting area. A pool or spa tub could be right outside.
Stately and regal, this contemporary house plan's soaring arched entry gives this design the appearance of being larger than it really is. But with over 2500 square feet of floor space, no one could say the Sedalia is small.
Multipaned windows sparkle across all sides of the brick veneer exterior. Brick detailing crowns the arched openings, underscores the windows and accents the built-in planters.
Entering, you step into an elegant vaulted foyer. The arhced opening straight ahead flows into the vaulted great room. A fireplace nestles into an angled wall and across the room, slender windows flank the French doors that accesses a large screened porch.
An eating bar divides the great room from the kitchen. Standing at the island's built-in cooktop, you can converse with folks at the eating counter or in the great room. Kitchen counters wrap around the inside of a window bay that provides plenty of natural light. Built-in microwave and ovens are next to a step-in pantry.
Moods brighten and potted plants flourish in the vaulted, skylit sun room that expands the kitchen. The exterior walls are almost entirely glass. Double doors open, providing access to a dining room with a stately trayed ceiling.
Vaulted ceiling adds volume to the sleeping area of the owners' suite. Other features include a separate sitting area and a double walk-in closet. The luxurious owners' suite bathroom has dual sinks, soaking tub, and glass-block enclosed toilet and shower.
The front bedroom could be used as a study or home office.
Stone veneer along with handsome keystone arches lend to a European country manor look to the MacLeod, an elegant estate design with ample living space. The owners' suite, and gathering spaces, are on the main floor while three bedrooms and a skylit storage room are on the second level.
From the two-story foyer, a beautiful stairway curves up to a landing that overlooks the space below. French doors on the left open into a den featuring a built-in desk and a wall of bookcases. Through the arched opening on the right is a living room with an 11-foot ceiling and brick fireplace.
A dining room with built-in hutch/buffet is one step up, through double arches. French doors open on a patio that wraps across most of the rear.
The charming nook connects the formal and informal living areas. Kitchen amenities include: a walk-in pantry, work island with cooktop, and an angled island/eating bar with sink, dishwasher, and prep sink. Oven and microwave are built into cabinets close to a passageway that leads to a utility room with a powder room, and a three-car garage.
Bathroom features in the luxurious owners' suite include an oversized shower, two basins, spa tub next to an arched window, and two large walk-in closets.
Interior designers everywhere have been waiting to see what new design colors will be trending this year for home decors. Will they be bold and brilliant, or subdued and comforting? Well, 2015 has arrived and it finds that there is a eclectic mix of colors to the decor palette as it ranges from pastels on the paler side to bright colors that touch the soul. Look for these 3 colors to trend in home design for this year as you will want to jump on board and give exciting splashes of color to the interior of your home.
Marsala is as much a color as it is a wine
If you have ever laid back on the couch with the lights dimmed and a glass of Marsala wine in your hand, you can now enjoy that color in your home design. The color of Marsala is this year's top color of the year according to the Pantone Color Institute. Marsala is a type of burgundy color -- a reddish-brown -- that leans more toward the bold red color tones than the darker brown color zone. It is a very warm and rich color that can either make a bold statement when used sparingly in your home design or feel relaxing and welcoming when used throughout your home.
Classic Blue is making a classy comeback
There are several different shades of blue in this year's color trends. So if you are a fan, you have many choices such as the cool aquamarine to the bright scuba blue. Yet if you are looking for that one color that anchors your home design theme in place, then Classic Blue is the shade to select. This color is making a big comeback due to its calm shades that makes a confident statement. It's no wonder this color is always in style. You can't help but stare at those strong and classy business men and women walking down the street as they wear classic blue suits and dress clothes. Now you can show your guests that you mean business in your home design with this strong color.
Custard is a sweet, neutral tone that brightens the palette
For people who love the brighter pastel tones, they aren't left out in this year's trending colors. Both tangerine and toasted almond are on the list when you are looking to add a bit of zing to your decor. For people who like bright and neutral, custard is the color you will be seeing a lot of this year. Custard is a cooler yellow color that gives a more mellow and relaxing feeling. When mixed in with the bolder classic blue, you are sure to have a home design that is perfect.
The Brittany is a midsize Tuscan-style home plan with the possibility of up to five bedrooms. The two rooms to the right of the entry could easily be put to other purposes: hobby room, home entertainment center, work-out space, etc. An addition of a direct entry door from the porch could turn the den/guest room into a home office.
Light spills into the entry through a sidelight and transom. This bright space is a junction for a multiplicity of rooms and hallways.
To the left is the dining room or parlor. Through an arched opening, is the hallway to secondary bedrooms, or go straight to the kitchen and nook. To the right, your choices include a guest bathroom, vaulted den/guest suite/home office, or hallway to the owners' suite and a study.
Windows fill the two walls in the vaulted family room, and more light comes in through sliding glass doors in the nook. A gas fireplace tucked in the rear corner is a warm focal point for this space.
Working in the kitchen, you can keep tabs throughout the family room, nook and patio. Cupboard and counter space are amply supplied, and the eating bar keeps family members and guests out of the way while allowing them to chat with kitchen workers. The utility room is nearby, in a pass-through that connects to the three-car garage.
Features in the owners' suite include a large walk-in closet, dual vanity, private toilet, and an oversize walk-in shower. The owners suite also has direct access to the patio.

There are more things in Heaven and Earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophiesWilliam Shakespeare
There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, Than are dreamt of in your philosophyWilliam Shakespeare
Did universal charity prevail, earth would be a heaven, and hell a fable.Charles Caleb Colton
This world is all a fleeting show, For man's illusion given; The smiles of joy, the tears of woe, Deceitful shine, deceitful flow, - There's nothing true but Heaven.George Moore
His heart as far from fraud as heaven from earth.William Shakespeare
Daisies infinite Uplift in praise their little growing hands, O'er every hill that under heaven expands.Ebenezer Elliott
If there be no great love in the beginning, yet heaven may decrease it upon better acquaintance, when we are married and have more occasion to know one another: I hope, upon familiarity will grow more contempt.William Shakespeare
The wind of heaven is that which blows between a horse's ears.Arabian Proverb
Nothing but heaven itself is better than a friend who is really a friend.Titus Maccius Plautus
Heaven is under our feet as well as over our heads.Henry David Thoreau
If we really understood Heaven, we would be most unhappy and unsatisfied with life on Earth. We would rebel against our earthly limitations. If we saw Heaven, we could not bear this earth. That's why Heaven is forever: we cannot bear to leave it after we get there.C.L. Allen
To be in hell is to drift; to be in heaven is to steer.George Bernard Shaw
Heaven will be inherited by every man who has heaven in his soul.Henry Ward Beecher
To reach the port of heaven, we must sail sometimes with the wind and sometimes against it ? but we must sail and not drift, nor lie at anchor.Oliver Wendell Holmes
