The old formula had 1% fat (which gave it a fantastic flavor) and was sweetened with Splenda) so had 60 calories in a 4oz. container. The new formula has the fat removed, is sweetened with Aspartame, and has lots of starch and thickeners added. After eating it, I taste the Aspartame on my lips all day! Their product went from natural (except for Splenda) with a fantastic taste to mostly fillers and chemicals with the worst taste in yogurt ever!

Pawel Wolak Doesn't Expect Any Eye Issues in Rematch
By Keith Idec
Pawel Wolak got his first frightening look at the grotesque swelling surrounding his right eye during a post-fight interview with ESPN's Teddy Atlas and Joe Tessitore.
"As they were interviewing us, there was a monitor behind us," Wolak recalled on a conference call Monday to promote his rematch against Delvin Rodriguez on Saturday night at Madison Square Garden. "That's when I saw it. I was like, 'Wow! That's pretty bad.' That was pretty bad."
Wolak's swollen-shut right eye was so bad Rodriguez and Darren Antola, Wolak's own cut man, were surprised the fantastic fight wasn't stopped. The ever-brave Wolak was allowed to fight until the end of a brutal brawl that resulted in a 10-round majority draw July 15 at Roseland Ballroom in Manhattan.
"I thought around the ninth round that the fight was going to be stopped," Rodriguez said. "I tried going for the eye. My corner told me to [do that]. I really thought the referee [Steve Smoger] was going to stop it or the doctor was going to stop the fight. But I guess they knew what they were doing, the doctor knew what [he] was doing, and unfortunately it wasn't [stopped]."
Naturally, the Polish-born Wolak wasn't surprised he was allowed to continue competing in their junior middleweight war, despite the cartoonish bulge that became visible in the fourth round.
"I felt fine," said Wolak (29-1-1, 19 KOs), of Rockaway, N.J. "Listen, you've got to put me out of the ring just to stop me from fighting. So I wasn't surprised. I was totally fine, I wasn't hurt. The vision was affected, the swelling was bad. But I wasn't affected.
"My vision, my depth perception was off, obviously, just the way it would be having one eye. But again, there's no quit in me, there's no stopping me. I'm very happy that they let the fight continue to the very end and I'm glad the fans enjoyed the fight. Everybody wanted to do it again. We're going to do it better this time."
The residue of the damage remains noticeable above Wolak's right eye 4½ months later, yet Rodriguez claimed on the conference call that he won't be preoccupied with recreating swelling around Wolak's right eye when they meet in their 10-round rematch, one of three bouts HBO Pay-Per-View will broadcast before the Antonio Margarito-Miguel Cotto rematch.
"I'm not looking for just the eye again," said Rodriguez (25-5-3, 14 KOs), of Danbury, Conn. "I'm a combination puncher … I'm not just looking for the one thing."
Keith Idec covers boxing for the Record and Herald News, of Woodland Park, N.J., and BoxingScene.com.
I wonder if Margarito's eye was blown up like Wolak's if his fight with Pacquiao would've been stopped.Comment by Everywhere on 11-29-2011

I was told that the account would be cancelled but I would have to pay the current charges. I stated that I was being charged for unauthorised services. I was told that it didn't matter. They wouldn't even give me the address that the services was ordered from. I think this is very unprofessional and that is why I am submitting this ripoff report.

Mary Jane Slipper Socks
Also found in:
♠ Crew Socks ♠ Midcalves ♠ Slipper Socks ♠ Terry ♠ Novelty Socks ♠ Cotton
The simple strap and silver buckle make Mary Jane shoes as sweet as can be. These grippy-bottomed terry lined socks summon all that sweetness into knit-in design and top it off with actual lace!
Labels says: women's shoe size 4-10, they will be a bit loose on a women's shoe size 4, but are still adorable all the way up to a 10. Men's shoe size 4 to 8.
We think these should be comfortable up to 14 inches around at their tops.
The buckles are on the same side on each sock, not mirrored like on actual shoes.
Additional Info:
Made in Taiwan. Foot Traffic has worked with the same mill for over 20 years and assures us they meet all benchmarks of positive and conscientious standards.
Fiber Content: 76% cotton, 12% nylon, 9% spandex, 3% rubber.
Machine wash cold, tumble dry low.

Comments about Foot Traffic Mary Jane Slipper Socks:
So let's lead off with the fact that these are just adorable. They're cute, comfy, and make me smile. My only problem with them is that they seemed to do that odd sort of fraying thing at the edges of the color change and on the bottoms almost immediately, like I'd rubbed them with sandpaper, when really they've just been worn on carpet and linoleum. This doesn't take much away from their cuteness, of course, but I was a little sad.

Q:I was planning on wearing these with a pair of Doc Martens; would the lace go up high enough to peek out from the top? The boots only go a couple of inches up my ankle.Asked on 12/25/2015 by Susan
1 answer
A:It looks like these socks are about five inches from heel to top, so you'll need to measure how the boots hit you to see if the socks will look the way you want with them.Answered on 12/26/2015 by Dreamer Brenna from Sock Dreams HQ

Elba is also an ideal starting point for cruises to Corsica, Sardinia or any of the other islands which form the Tuscan archipelago.

My client runs a florist and is wanting to add an e-commerece section to her website. She would like to sell a total of 12 arrangements via the website using paypal.
Firstly, can someone recommend a good (preferably free) e-commerece plugin. I have used jigoshop beofore, but feel it lacks some basic features in the free version. Are there any better options?
Secondly, as it is only a small shop she can only offer delivery in her local area, and the delivery cost needs to change based on postcode.
So for example, an order from the following postodes will be £5: AB1, AB2, AB3, AB4
And orders from the remaining postcodes will be £10 delivery:
AB5, AB6, AB7 etc...
Any postocde which is not in the area (AB in this example) can not place an order.
Is there anything out there already which will offer this capability?

The Land and History of EarthRise
The Land and History of EarthRise
Photo ©2009 Steve Uzzell. All Rights Reserved.
There is abundant archaeological evidence that the powerful Miwok tribe lived in the area for generations in peace and ecological harmony on the land that is now home to the Institute of Noetic Sciences. The sacred, spiritual energy of their long stewardship can be felt as you gaze out over rolling hills and soaring vistas, or while strolling along paths winding through glens and valleys. It is palpable as you pause to listen to the mating songs of wild turkeys; observe foraging deer; or meditate in one of several fragrant, natural cathedrals canopied by live oaks, buckeye, and bay trees on this ancient coast.
More recently, the campus was part of the Spanish land grants that transformed once-wild California into vineyards and picturesque cattle and sheep.
Since 2000, this sacred land has been the home of the Institute of Noetic Sciences, a worthy heir to the legacy of the land. In recent years, EarthRise has hosted thousands of mind-body explorers who come to study with internationally acclaimed educators, scientists, philosophers, health practitioners, life and business coaches, artists, and spiritual masters.
EarthRise is also an essential site nationally and internationally for events in science, spirituality, art, social activism, transformation, environmentalism, health, and business. Its desirable location, just thirty-five minutes north of San Francisco, makes it one of Northern California's premier retreat sites.
Why the Retreat Center is Named EarthRise
The vision for creating the Institute of Noetic Sciences came in 1971 when IONS' founder Dr. Edgar Mitchell landed on the moon as one of the Apollo 14 astronauts. Space exploration symbolized for Dr. Mitchell what it did for his nation as a whole—technological triumph of historical proportions, unprecedented mastery of the world in which we live, and extraordinary potentials for new discoveries.
On the trip home Dr. Mitchell sat in the window seat of the cramped cabin of the space capsule; and as he saw Earth floating freely in the vastness of space, Dr. Mitchell was engulfed by a profound sense of universal connectedness. He stated, "On the return trip home, gazing through 240,000 miles of space toward the stars and the planet from which I had come, I suddenly experienced the universe as intelligent, loving, harmonious. My view of our planet was a glimpse of divinity. We went to the Moon as technicians; we returned as humanitarians."
In honor of IONS' founder Edgar Mitchell, his historic trip to the moon, his viewing rising Earth from the moon, and his epiphany about the interconnectedness of the universe while returning to Earth, the Retreat Center is named EarthRise.


text: Today in Japan Sony announced two new Honeycomb tablets, the slick S1 and the dual screen S2. The cool thing about these tablets is they come with the PlayStation Suite. Meaning, they'll be able to play old PS1 games. This is the first step towards a PlayStation branded tablet in my opinion. Still, I'm not sure how I feel about the S2, the dual-screens look a little gimmicky to me. See the promo video after the break.

The full HD screen is nice and the camera looks great, but to be honest I'm not doing anything on my Nexus 4 that I didn't do on my HTC Desire HD. I think the race towards higher and higher specs is going overboard. Phones just don't need to be that powerful because the diminutive size of the screens just isn't suited to hardcore gaming or productivity. What I'd love to see in smartphones is better camera technologies and that's about it.

I am keen on better screens, camera and battery life. The battery thing on it is good, and you can select what to turn off or on such as wifi, texts or whatever when the screen is off.

Looks sick...I'm in the market for a new phone. My first experience with an Andoid phone has been horrible. But then again, I bought a sh1tty, cheap phone to start with. Looking to get the Note 2 if this won't be out in the States for awhile.

We don't need Android phones to be 1080p HD. Who gives a crap about 1080 when you're looking at facebook or browsing on a webpage? It'll really only stand out when watching videos that are 1080p or playing certain games. I feel companies who make Android devices need to focus on more appropriate things. For instance software optimization with the hardware that's running it. Make it lag free as possible like the Nexus 4, optimize battery life, focus on speaker volume, call quality, and wireless radio.
I'm just not feeling this whole "introducing new features & let's sweep the ones we could work & make better on under the rug so the consumers focus goes somewhere else" vibe that I get.
I do like the water resistance for a certain amount of time this phone has. I'm not really feeling the Sony UI. It seems very laggy. The build design looks ok. I'm not really impressed with it.

Agatha Christie
Agatha Mary Clarissa Christie (1890 –1976) was a British author, poet and playwright famed for her crime and detective fiction. The creator of Miss Marple and Hercule Poirot is the best-selling author of all time.
A prolific writer, Christie grew up in a privileged background, and was home schooled. A voracious reader, Christie first took up writing as a hobby and then made it her life's work when the pieces she published garnered attention.
(P)2007 Alcazar AudioWorks
"The Mysterious Affair at Styles introduced the world to two lasting heroes: new author Agatha Christie, and her sleuthing protagonist, Hercule Poirot....Christie ushered in the "Golden Age" of crime novels, and continues to mystify - and delight - her many faithful readers." (The New York Public Library's Books of the Century)
"A complete delight!"
Besides Mrs. Christie's renowned genius, David Thorn's Inspector P. is a complete delight! This is definitely a GREAT book WONDERFULLY narrated!
"Poirot accent tough to handle."
Of course Christie's story was excellent. I have been spoiled by Hugh Frazier performances, apparently, because the Poirot accent for this was pretty awful. Other voices were fine.
"Great Story....Distracting Narration"
The story line is great and great introduction of Poirot and Hastings.
His Hercule Poirot performance is a bit much. His french/belgium accent distracts from what is being said.
"Performance would be excellent except..."
The actors thick accent when voicing Hercule Poirot can sometimes be difficult to understand. I found a few instances where I was required to re-listen to a passage in order to make sure I understood properly. Otherwise it was an excellent story and good performance.
"Talented narrator!"
This classic was brought to life by the talented narration of Mr. Thorn. I thoroughly enjoyed the listen.
"Great start to a series"
An excellent introduction to the Poirot series. Performance and story were both wonderful and enjoyed very much.
"Worst French accent I've heard."
Story seems great, all of the voices and accents are great but Poirot is impossible to listen to. I've taken 7 years of French, 2 years by a French person and yet many times I had no idea what word Poirot was saying. So overdone, I can hardly continue listening.
Only the French accent. Everything else was great.
"Fun story, but pick a different narrator!"
One of my favorites by Dame Agatha, but the narrator struggles through the accents, making this version a tedious listen. His Hercule Poirot is painful, and another character's accent is different every time he appears.
"Annoying narration"
This is classic Christie but spoiled by the dreadful faux - Belgian accent of the narrator.

Not only was it the wrong bouncer, one of the tables was broken and unable to stand, the chairs were filthy covered in sticky substances grass dirt and other miscellaneous debri, and to top it off once I called the manager to complain she was incredibly rude and told me I take it how it is or they could pack up and leave and be charged 50% for a cancellation fee.
I was originally quoted $270.00 for the entire rental and they finally discounted it by $25.00 and that was all. I will never use this service again and I wouldn't recommend them to anyone.
On top of everything else, when the guy came to pick it up he did not knock on my door he walked into my backyard without informing anyone he was there. Since when is trespassing ok???

I've never been to Blackberry Farm but these images (all from Instagram) made the decision for me to add it to my "must visit" list.

Stairway to Heaven
January 5, 2016
An architect makes a house, a staircase makes a home… if it's a show stopper like these! I love a dramatic staircase because foyers and stairwells are typically difficult to festoon or bedazzle with furniture and fabric, although one or two of these images may prove me wrong. It's really all in how they are designed, built and decorated. If you're not lucky enough to have the budget or space to create something magical, work with what you've got a god for some DRAMA. Always a classic, the white painted riser and the black tread makes a statement. It's an elegant choice and can be achieved on almost any typical staircase. All one color works too, but go for something bold if you choose a monochromatic look. The sisal on these stairs is a nice counter to the slick, shiny formality of the black and white. It 's the perfect Yang for the stairs Ying. …if you know what I mean. You might not have an all brass circular staircase in your home or apartment – get one if you can – but you could think about panting existing metal balusters antique gold in lieu of the expected black. You can also replace balusters without replacing your entire hand rail system, check into it if you hate yours. MMMMMM…. I do like a spanish influence, and these stairs are pretty classic. In the States, I think you'd see more terra-cotta tile with these pretty decorative painted tiles but simple cement stairs like this that are made on site are everywhere in Mexico, Spain, Portugal and other countries… I find this style charming and they last forever. Let's just pretend you are stuck with a plain old, run of the mill staircase. First paint it, stain it or do what ever it needs to freshen it up. Then add pattern, animal works for me. But if you a bit more conservative you can go geometric or stripe… but I suggest animal. Grrrrr. Your last resort, the absolute final final option is add art, LOTS of art, like Philip Mitchell did at the Kips Bay Show House (and follow him on Facebook too, he's fab). He actually did a lot more than just toss some art around, the rug, wall coverings, paint, light fixtures and everything else you see were all carefully hand chosen – you should be as diligent. But if all else fails, add art.
If you're going to leave it bare, and I mean completely naked… you had better have one sexy staircase already!
Here is how I updated my back stairs. I painted the risers and left the treads a stained pumpkin color and added an antelope pattered broadloom, expertly installed I might add. The texture of the V-groove vertical boards is enough to add interest without hanging art.
BOXWOOD Obsession
January 3, 2016
The concept of training plants into topiary is a centuries old tradition. Topiary is the horticultural practice of training live perennial plants by clipping the foliage and twigs of trees, shrubs and subshrubs to develop and maintain clearly defined shapes, whether geometric or fanciful. The term also refers to plants which have been shaped in this way, as an art form it is a type of living sculpture. The plants used in topiary are evergreen, mostly woody, have small leaves or needles, produce dense foliage, and have compact and/or columnar growth habits. I'd say the most common species chosen for topiary is the boxwood or "European box" however arborvitae, bay laurel, holly, myrtle, yew and privet are all widely used. I love a simple boxwood ball (or may as the case my be above). It's such a happy shape, the form is classic, the technique time honored.
This is a perfect example of how adaptable boxwood is, look at how sharp this stair detail is. It's just so chic. The picture below was inspiration for a "redo" of our small garden in front of the beach house. We pulled out everything but a climbing rose and planted different sized boxwood spheres. For greater visual interest we under planted with bulbs of white tulips and purple allium. I can't wait for spring!
And this is my back yard in the City. The garden is asleep (taken late november) but the form of the boxwood is something I count on in the winter months to give the yard color, and structure. Please excuse the sofa cover. There is nothing prettier than a dusting of boxwood on a boxwood.
Above is an image of my garden a few years ago and a different application of boxwood, grown into a knot garden. We planted different types of hosta in each of the diamond shapes formed by the boxwood. In my head it looked like the image below, maybe not quite… But you gotta start somewhere. The Dogwood tree is certainly bigger now, and the X's more clearly clipped.
LOVE Naturally
December 31, 2015
This is my Jam! I love the creamy natural vibe of these spaces, these finishes and the relaxed, natural aesthetic (drink) they present. I don't miss the patterns, the colors… I don't miss anything that isn't in this range, everything I need in a room is right here… The white,the leather, the polish and the rough… perfection.
Same goes for this kitchen… the Walnut/Teak tone of the wood and the marble and the white and the polish… thats all, thats everything.
Of course there is a style to the furnishings that is also VERY compelling. I'd say these are all pretty contemporary spaces, but the warm natural elements keep these rooms feeling warm and inviting. There is a mid-century vein running through these images that feels authentic and not kitschy. I like it.
I'm crushing on these built-ins BIG TIME! What a dreamy place to sit and drink coffee! Marble table (Saarinen) for the win…
I'm working on it
December 23, 2015
I am excited to be working with clients on this South Coast new construction project. They are lovely people and we seem to be very in-sync so the job should be a good one. I'm currently fine tuning floor-plans and designing built-in mill work, and have recently scoured my Instagram feed for inspiration.
The pieces I'm working on currently are an oversized entertainment center with sliding doors and tall narrow cabinets for either side of the Library's fireplace. The Library will be used as office space so the lateral file drawers at the bases are key. I'm going to something more decorative on the doors and like the idea of the door designs to echo the pattern we choose in the Great Room, so I'm drawing with many door styles to give the client options. This room told me how it needed to be laid out based on the views and where the TV would eventually end up. I like this final concept for the floor plan, we had others but this seems to suit the room and all of our needs. I pushed for back to back sofas, but ultimately I had to concede (the TV won).
Floor-planning and drawing is really the second step after tile and stone and other finishes are identified, and i really like each step in the process of designing a home for clients, but I think I like color and fabric selection best. Even though the house is traditional, the client wants something a bit more transitional inside. This gives me an opportunity to mix in some more modern pieces and take the palette to something a bit more tonal and neutral than I might have with a more traditional client guiding me. You probably already know I couldn't be happier to be showing them Grey, Camel and Cream.
Merry Christmas (Decor)
December 19, 2015
Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas! It's been a while I know… I'm sorry. Life has been very full lately and business has kept me away from most of my favorite distractions (including this blog). But here I am! And it's almost Christmas. Here is how I've been getting ready for the season…This years front porch look is Pinecones and bright green moss. I worked them into a basic (store bought) wreath of pine and added sugared berries for a punch of red. I like the biggest wreath possible so it reads from the street. When you decorate your house or porch remember to step back (way back, like across the street back) to get a good look at how your decorations appear from further away. And, remember that the front door is where all your holiday company passes, so sweat the small stuff too. You have to think BIG and small when you're designing the front door and/or porch.
It's become a tradition fo me to decorate the chandelier in our front hall. I love the impact it creates, there is a nod to Victorian times – 1907 technically our house is Edwardian, but it that's ok – and yet it's still an unexpected flourish guests live to discover. Here is an image taken mid flourish! The Elf lept to his death so I took it as a sign and left him off the light fixture entirely.Below is a close up of the foyer table. More of the same items, but grouped in bunches. I like a theme to my decor, be it holiday or day to day. Keep it tight and orderly for a seamless look. Stay on message so your look stays strong.It hasn't snowed a single flake, but I'm doing my best to get into the sprit of Christmas. I've got a fire lit and I'm crafting old Christmas cards into gift tags. These make great gifts for folks on my list, a little something, something everyone needs, useful and not another piece of bric-a-brac… and it's recycling, so it makes it a green activity (reducing my carbon foot print the fire is most likely creating)I'm sorry Ginger, that I didn't post around Thanksgiving… so just for you, here are some images of that celebration. I hope all of you and yours had an amazing day filled with family, fun and love.
Tradtional-Contemporary Farmhouse
July 18, 2015
It's a toss-up really, what do I love more? The board and batten siding, the metal roof, the shed dormers or the deep porches? I'll tell you it all adds up to something pretty wonderful. But I think what it really is for me is the sharp cleanliness of these exteriors. Charming and certainly of a farm vernacular, but unfussy, simple details that keep it more contemporary and cute. I'm smitten.
All of these are different houses. The "flaws" are that neither porch is screened and the enormous interior volume is such a waste of space, albeit pretty. If I were building I don't know that I could give that much square footage away… but that giant widow makes the first house so great. There is nothing better than natural light. The second house seems "perfect" from the outside, but I don't love the landscaping. there is a wee bit too much pea gravel for me. That's not really complaining too much. The third house is a bit easier to pick apart. Don't like the mix of the gravel color, the red brick and the cement and paver walkway. Thats a few too many masonry styles for me, thanks. The "fix" would be to white wash the brick, and pour a gravel that better matches the paver walkway. The sliders tucked under the lower roof line should have been a set of french doors. But don't get me wrong, I like the house I'm just being nit-picky today.
I guess I love the idea of not making a house that is clearly of this decade. The details and design decisions in these pictures all give the spaces a nod to a time gone by, a wink to tradition without feeling like they were indented to fool anyone into thinking they were 100 year old rooms. The pocket doors on the bar are a nice detail. Closed it could be a pantry, or who knows… open it keeps guests out of the kitchen when they need a refill. you gotta love that. I say if you have enough storage, there's nothing prettier than a leggy sink. We look right past the expected base cabinet/sink set-up because it is so "standard", but look at the showstopper the sink becomes with sexy nickel plated legs! Va-va-va-voom.

Corporate Advocacy Program™
October 2009 Agent Advantage sales person David Brown contacted me regarding a custom web site. I have been a happy customer for 8 years and was looking to increase my exposure. Over several calls we detailed the features I was looking in writing and reviewed each line. David assured me that it could all be done and repeatedly guaranteed me I would be satisfied.
I paid $1,500 up front as required, a little nervous but based on our 8 year history I was confident they would be great. I followed through the process and was assigned a web designer. Prior to our first meeting I provided example sites, a detailed list of features David Brown and I has agreed to and URL's where I had deposited content for use on the site.
Over the period of the first month to 6 weeks the web designer was able to redraw the basic layout of the example site, without content or functionality. I provided content such as free reports, web based custom calculators, homeowners kits and developed educational videos for the site. [continued below]....
About 2 months into the design little progress had been made and the designer was making excuses why certain items could not be done, by him. The feature list agreed to was being eliminated item by item. Had a cordial conversation with Chrissy, his supervisor referencing back to the original agreement. After this conversation all communication from Agent Advantage ceased.
2 plus months into the process I had been trying to contact the David Washington the designer, Chrissy his supervisor, and David Brown the sales person but no one would respond. I finally got a response by going onto their chat session. Learned I had been put into retention. From there nothing much happened. No discussion of web sites, features, solutions or other communication indicating any actual action was being taken.
3 months into the process, after a multitude of attempts to get the ball rolling on the stalled process I finally gave in and requested a refund. That was on 1/20/10. I got an acknowledgment of receipt of the request but no refund or follow up. Continued to attempt communication with no results or solutions. Resent the request on 2/2/10. Still no response.
I'm out of time and patience trying to chase this down and now must go outside their system to seek help.

Agent Advantage took advantage of me too!!
AUTHOR: Joyce - (United States of America)
SUBMITTED: Wednesday, July 04, 2012POSTED: Wednesday, July 04, 2012
Then I complained that the Search function wasn't working - instead of IDX, it was only showing listings from the Homes.com site. In desperation, I finally asked them to use the Search function from my company website. However, that was a disaster too. They set up a page that sent the viewer to my old company site, leaving my expensive $4,000 Agent nAdvantage site entirely. Why pay for a new site to have it direct them to the old one?
It soon became obvious that Agent Advantage is not interested in building a truely customized site... although that is definitely what they are charging for. Instead they are a mass production of canned pages. When I asked about inserting content from some of my blogs instead of their pre-written pages, they said it couldn't be done. So I had to settle for a couple of hyperlinks. Not exactly custom content.
The final straw was when I changed my personal photo. I sent it to them twice asking that they update my site. They updated the front page only - all other pages still retained the old picture. Such lazy, sloppy work. Also, those last six weeks I only had one lead. I complained and got no response. Apparently my account manager was too busy trying to sucker her latest victim. I finally gave up. Wrote off over $4,000 and told them to stuff it.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Name Drop
AUTHOR: in the industry - (United States of America)
SUBMITTED: Thursday, April 01, 2010POSTED: Thursday, April 01, 2010
It seems the sales representative is taking all of the heat for something the company failed to execute on the back-end. I am very familiar with this industry and have worked as an online Real Estate Marketing Consultant for several years. I am also very familiar with homes.com and Agent Advantage. Once a product is sold, the task is out of the salesperson's hands. That seems clear to the client filing this report, but what is not clear is how detrimental this can be on a salesman's name. This report has almost certainly ended the salesperson's success with homes.com and maybe in the entire industry. Although this report clearly states that it was the web design team and the retention department that failed, the salesperson's name blankets the report. It is a shame to see in such a job market.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Homes.com and Agent Advantage web sites
AUTHOR: Highscreech - (United States of America)
SUBMITTED: Monday, February 15, 2010POSTED: Monday, February 15, 2010
I also have had a poor experience with Homes.com Agent Advantage. The contract says they have 4 months, I think. The problem with that is it takes away the 90 day time period to challenge the charge on your credit card.
I paid $3000 for what was represented as a web site that would optimize home buyers and home sellers searching and bring some leads on my site. What was represented and what I got do not mesh. It turns out, what I paid for was "3 module" site with optimization of one area. The 3 modules have to do with personal, community, and school info. I was told all the "research" that was done. I provided community info and school info and links to the designers. The biography is poorly written and verbose. I need to redo it. I am having trouble accessing my site to make changes. It took 2 months to get my listings downloaded. Now I have no leads (no hits) in 2 months. Now I am being told if I am not paying for placement and with only 1 SEO area, it may take 3 months to start getting hits!!! If I want a better chance to get hits, them I have to pay an additional $1200 (and was represented as a BIG discount). On my old site, I got 300-400 hits a month, but it was not "sticky" and what I was paying for was something that was going to get hits and be sticky. It will cost even more to pay for placement on the search engines.
As far as I am concerned, I am still a "secret agent" and have wasted a bucket load of money. My advice - look elsewhere for your webiste design and maintenance.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

For 1950, I'd consider Rashomon, Sunset Boulevard, or All About Eve.

Thanks for the suggestions, Penny.
The problem is that (for which reasons ever) I have seen none of the three films you have mentioned. They are definetly on my to-see-list though.
The 'best' film I have seen in 1950 would be Rio Grande, and, frankly, that's really not a great movie.

whats Run Lola Run, going by my taste in films..would i like it? its at my college to rent, is it worth it?
- Login to post comments
I'm quite sure you'll like it. Actually the story is very simple, but the formal aspect of the film is extremely complex. It's difficult now to sum up the film without telling too much. It is just an film experience of 90 minutes, and the best German movie I have ever seen (and I have seen a lot!).
P.S.: I can't tell you whether the English synchronisation is good or not, as I have only seen the original version.
- Login to post comments
well there is an edition called "Lola Rennt" is that the better one? is that the one you saw?
- Login to post comments
Hmm... Lola Rennt is the original (German) title of the film. I don't know how good your knowlegdes in German are... I mean... do you speak German? If not, it would be quite 'risky' to watch such a film in that language...

Have you seen Coppola's 'The Conversation'? I like it better than either of the Godfathers, and I really love the Godfathers.
- Login to post comments
No, unfortunately not. It is definetly on my to-see list.
However 1974 is a tough and above all close race. Even Chinatown was beaten by The Godfather, Part II.

Excellent, thank you for awarding Raiders of the Lost Ark, Shane, and The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. Not many critics then appreciated the spaghetti western as much people do today.

You're absolutely right with what you say. I think there are still many people who ridiculize the spaghetti westerns.

The Battle of Algiers is a truly powerful film, so ahead of its time. Have you seen the Criterion edition that came out just a few months ago. Some great documentaries, including one on what it can teach us about terrorism today.

For 44 I'd suggest Double Indemnity. For 47, ever seen Odd Man Out? A Carol Reed film that's almost as great as The Third Man.
- Login to post comments
Sorry, I haven't seen none of these, but soon I'll have the opportunity to get Double Indemnity. In fact, it is a potential candidate for this list.
- Login to post comments
I really hope you enjoy Double Indemnity. If you ever get chance to see Odd Man Out be sure to take it. It really is one of the greatest films I've ever seen.

Nice list, though The Birth of a Nation is actually 1915.

Here's the problem. The Microsoft courses suck, they are really bad. At that time, you had to pass 6 different exams, to get the MCSE. The exams borrowed from different courses, though, which meant you had to take all the courses to hope to pass the exams. Did I mention the exams cost $100, then, per exam, pass or fail? I think it's $200 now. And they are set up to fail even experienced network engineers, and some of them failed the exams. Well, I took all the courses, using vacation time, and evenings. But wait, the tests are set up so you have to have a lot of on the job experience, to pass them. Isn't the point of paying out money for education so you can get the knowledge to pass the tests, and then get the job? Even people already doing the job found the Microsoft tests hard. The Novell courses were better, but Novell was on the way out even then. None of this was explained to me upfront. With a salesman paid mostly on commission, that's no surprise. Used car dealers are a lot more honest than the salespeople there.
Also, Microsoft really rips you off, on text cost, I was paying like $200+ for the books and stuff for just one course. 10 years ago. I ended up paying out around $15,000 or so, for the tuition and books alone, not counting gas, and vacation time. For nothing. And there really wasn't much I could do about it. They have another cute deal. They told me up front about all the courses you can take, and show you a schedule. But if not enough students sign up, they cancel the course. So, I missed out on several courses I really wanted, because they were never offered during the year I had. I pointed this unfairness out, to a rep, who signed me up for these courses, but outside my year. The boss found out, and fired her, and told me I couldn't go. It seems she should have gotten $5,000 more out of me, to extend for 6 months, and they asked me for $5,000 more.
I complained to the owner. He had no interest, of course. I will say he at least listened. He did give me 2 toothbrushes, in response to my complaint. I gave one to my sister, and still keep the other one, as a reminder of this humongous ripoff. It had a nice springy handle, and was better than what I had. I heard many other students complain.
One guy had been told he could get Novell certified, and get a good paying job right after. It didn't happen for him. Well, the salesman lied. By way, MCSE certification is much harder to get, now. It's not like I don't enjoy courses, or books, or studying, I have a M.A. from New York University. But they were equal opportunity ripoff artists, they had no problem ripping off truck drivers, laid off factory workers, women, and everyone else. My US Army recruiter was far, far more honest than their salesman, and that is really saying something. I will say the instructors were good. But that doesn't mean much, does it, with everything else. I talked to a lawyer, who said that I probably wouldn't get far, as they had provided the education they had contracted to provide. I did get a bonus education, though, in ripoff science.
