Throughout your acting career, you will get many, many sets of headshots. They will change with your age, your haircuts, your city and your evolving type. Headshots are often the first and last impressions casting directors have of you, so it is of paramount importance to have a good one. Unfortunately, sorting through all the advice out there on how to take good headshots can be exhausting and confusing. Luckily, I have composed this handy-dandy listicle! (Everyone please keep using that term until it happens for real. Having a word for what I do here feeds my validation addiction). So in the interest of aiding you in your ceaseless quest for approval, below are things I wish I had been told the first time I got headshots.
1. Know What You Want: Don't even sign up to get new headshots until you know what you need. If you have never gotten headshots before, it might be helpful to think of who you hope to impress with your headshots. Are you working primarily as a theatre actor, or are you shooting for film and commercial? Even your location might come into play. (While a good headshot is essentially a good headshot, preferences for borders and style may vary slightly according to coast and/or region). Your target audience will determine the personality and final look of the headshot. First determine what kind of actor you are, and where you want to direct your career. Then start looking for photographers.
2. Research the Photographer: You guys. I know I always say research, but for rullz it is supes important. This is the time to go bananas Stefani style, B-A-N-A-N-A-S. If you are starting from scratch, look at the agencies with which you would like to sign and see if they favor certain photographers. Look at the headshots of successful actors in your chosen region and see what kind of backgrounds, tones, cropping, and framing are popular. Depending on your resources, this is definitely the time to invest rather than skimp. Remember that a good headshot will make money back for you. Consider going physically out of your way to find a photographer, especially if you are not in a city with a big market for professional photographers who specialize in headshots. If you are already familiar with your acting community, ask around and see what kind of experiences other actors have had. The most important thing is that the headshot looks like you. Not an idealized version of you. Not the version of yourself you hope to one day be. It should look like you on your best days, but you as you are right now, because that is who is going to get hired. So when you are looking through photographers' headshots, see if you know any of the people who have had headshots done with them. If the headshots don't look like the actors you know, run for the hills.
3. Don't Choose Out-of-Focus Shots: Especially if you are working with a photographer who doesn't do a lot of headshots, you may end up with a shot that is slightly out of focus. While this may not even be noticeable at a glance, to people in the business it can end up making your headshot look unprofessional. Familiarize yourself with focused headshots and state your preferences.
4. Watch for Contrast: Another pitfall is a level of contrast that is too high. For example, if you are pasty pale and wearing pastel blue, don't choose a shot with a stark black background. (I can't imagine ever wanting that background, actually). Crazy high contrast is distracting. Incidentally, the reverse is also true. Don't choose a shot where you blend into the background or you will end up looking like a disembodied head. No one hires a disembodied head.
5. What to Wear: The rules are endless, so in the interest of sanity, we are going to simplify: interesting solid colors. Stay away from patterns and shiny materials. Figure out what colors look good on you (and remember that certain colors, like red, often don't read well on camera). Choose shades that complement and enhance your coloring, rather than draining it. Interesting collars and textures are great as long as they aren't too outlandish. Layering can help create a dynamic look. Flatter your body type, and remember that you are probably only shooting from the waist up. Unless you are an exceptionally specific kind of actor, this is not the time to flaunt cleavage or yards of chest hair. Stay away from big jewelry. But remember to look like you. Wear clothes that fit your personality and suggest your acting type without limiting you. If you wear glasses or facial hair, consider getting some looks with and some without.
6. Don't Be Afraid to Reschedule: Looking really tired that day? Cancel. Wake up with a huge blemish? Cancel. Feeling off-color or bloated? Reschedule! It is not worth throwing money away on a shot when you don't look your best. And in the interest of avoiding this, treat yourself well in the preceding weeks. Lay off the booze, eat right, and get plenty of rest! It will make a big difference.
7. Figure out Your "Looks": This is one of those times when it is helpful to have a handle on your "type" (the kind of roles as which you are typically cast based on appearance and demeanor). If you don't know, do not take headshots until you figure it out. Anything else is a waste of your time. If you already know, translate it through a lens of what your desired employers want. If you are primarily theatre, make sure you have a standard shot and a character shot. (Think loosely dramatic and comedic, but more commercial). If you are going film and commercial focused, consider throwing in a "professional" look. Think Law & Order. Other examples of commercial looks might include edgy, young mom, girl-next-door, or male ingénue. You still need a more serious standard shot and a warmer, more "smiley" shot. Even if you are a big character actor, stay away from really crazy character shots, as they will make you look amateurish.
8. Tell Them What You Want (what you really, really want): If there has ever been a time for assertiveness, it is now! Remember, this affects your career. This is about you. Some photographers have artistic quirks that might not jive with your needs. Be polite, but firm. Articulate everything you need and want up front, and they focus on something that doesn't work for you (for example, having hands prominent in the shot), don't be afraid to speak up and disagree.
9. Breathe: It is easy to hold your breath subconsciously while being photographed, but this will inevitably make you look stiff and unnatural in the photo. Be aware of continuing to breathe naturally through the process.
10. Eyes: The eyes are probably the first thing a prospective casting director or agent will look at, so they are very important! Establish a connection with the camera. Practice before you get your headshots done so you won't be intimidated. Find a trick that works for you—pretend you are looking at a person, or create a perspective for yourself. For certain looks, imagining you have a secret can translate well. If you feel yourself deadening behind the eyes, take a fresh breath and open your eyes slightly. (But don't go overboard, or you will end up with bugged crazy-eyes)! Aim for being completely open and relaxed, and let the emotions channel through unhindered.
Bonus Tip! Relax: It is so important to look natural. So take your time. Don't allow yourself to be rushed. Establish a rapport with your photographer until you feel comfortable. Have fun! Joke around, do whatever you need to do to make sure that your personality will shine through. In the end, that is what will get you hired.

Summit County secures seat on Central Wasatch Commission
Summit County will join Park City at the table as representatives of the Wasatch Back in the Central Wasatch Commission, earning a spot among other elected leaders from Salt Lake County to make decisions about growth and development in the central Wasatch Mountains.
Summit County Council members agreed to appoint Councilor Chris Robinson on Wednesday as the county's representative on the commission. Councilors Glenn Wright and Roger Armstrong were not at the meeting. Robinson will be joining Park City Mayor Andy Beerman on the Central Wasatch Commission board.
Summit County's representation on the board is significant because it means Robinson will be able to actively participate in conversations about the implementation of the ideas laid out in the now-defunct Mountain Accord. The accord was created in 2012 as a collaborative effort to create a cohesive plan for the central Wasatch Mountains to address growth and development issues related to the environment, transportation, the economy and recreation.
"Summit County has a strong interest in this not only because we represent geographical areas that are well within the borders of the whole Mountain Accord, but because we have a lot of experience that we can share with the commission in terms of land acquisitions and transportation planning," said Deputy County Manager Janna Young."
The Mountain Accord transformed into the Central Wasatch Commission to give the agency the legal authority to seek, hold and distribute funds, and enter into contracts on behalf of the participating stakeholders.
When the Central Wasatch Commission was created, the participating government entities agreed the membership would be limited to Salt Lake City, Salt Lake County, Sandy and Cottonwood Heights, Young said. Additional representatives from the Utah Department of Transportation and the Wasatch Back would be nominated.
Park City and Summit County drafted an interlocal agreement that described how the Wasatch Back representative would be nominated. The agreement stipulated Beerman would serve a two-year term, then the county would nominate a representative after Beerman's term expires, with representation switching every two years.
But, when the town of Alta requested its own appointment to the board, the county felt it deserved representation as well. Young said Park City and Summit County's elected leaders agreed Park City would apply for an independent seat, and Summit County would serve as the Wasatch Back representative because it represents a larger area and regional perspective.
The Central Wasatch Commission board accepted Park City's nomination in early August.
"In addition to having a special interest in the decisions that are made that will affect our community, we also felt like we had a lot to offer, so it made sense to have two representatives from this area: one from the largest municipality and then one from the county," Young said.
The Central Wasatch Commission has been undergoing a significant amount of organization in recent months as it transforms into a government entity, Young said. Former Salt Lake City Mayor Ralph Becker was hired earlier this summer as the executive director. The hiring of additional staff and the adoption of a budget followed shortly after.
"Members of the public and the involved legislative bodies of these entities were frustrated because they felt like we put resources into this agreement, but weren't seeing tangible results and a big part of that is that the organization was just forming," she said.
Since Becker has taken over, the organization has focused on redrafting the public lands initiative to establish federal land designations within the Mountain Accord area for wilderness or recreation. The Summit County Council nearly pulled out of the public lands initiative in 2017 because many said the county's interests were not being represented in the overall bill.
"The reason why it picked up steam again was they received indication from our federal delegation or someone in Congress saying there is a real interest in moving this forward," Young said. "I think the commission is close to approving a draft. But, the legislation alone is controversial. Everyone involved in it believes that it is the right direction, but is concerned about the details."

My Cat2 40-44 mountain bike race video from the 2015 Hill Country Mountain Bike Challenge held at Flat Rock Ranch in Comfort, Texas. This is a fantastic race course and venue with some of the best sustained descents in Texas.
This race was race #4 in the 2015 State series. This was my first race of the year having come off of being very sick throughout the month of January, thus severely hampering my training and racing options.
Race went well and I was feeling pretty good, but my lungs were still recovering from flu and bronchitis. Still, a fantastically fun ride and race.
Finished in 9th place.

There is an old timer's adage that the last frost coincides with the full moon in October so wait until this happens and then get busy planting tomatoes, cucumbers, capsicums and other frost sensitive veggies. Water and fertilise them well and you will be enjoying a bountiful crop in no time.
By far my favourite family of plants at this time at year are Ericaceae. This group inludes azaleas, rhododendrons, laurels, heathers, heaths and ericas. They are great plants for the Granite Belt as they love the cold and acidic soil, both of which we have in abundance. Largely, these plants like part shade situations although there are particular varieties that can tolerate full sun. During October the floral display of these plants in their shades of white, pink, red and orange is extraordinarily stunning.

The contentious Fire Services Reform bill passed its first hurdle "at record pace".
Volunteer Fire Brigades Victoria (VFBV) said the proposed legislation avoided scrutiny when it passed the Legislative Assembly (Lower House) on 6 June.
The State Government put forward the legislation on Wednesday 29 May, and it will now head to the Legislative Council (Upper House).
It will shake up Country Fire Authority (CFA) and Metropolitan Fire Brigade (MFB) boundaries for the first time since the 1950s to reflect population growth, and will introduce provide presumptive rights to cancer compensation for career and volunteer firefighters.
VFBV CEO Adam Barnett said CFA volunteers were particularly angry with repeated misrepresentations and falsehoods that CFA was not providing world-class service to urban communities.
"No credible evidence has been provided to back those claims – and worse, the proposed changes add no additional capacity to the system," he said.
"Changing logos on trucks, uniforms and payslips does not modernise or improve community safety.
"The proposed Bill actually takes us backwards pre-CFA – reverting to a model similar to what existed at the time of the disastrous 1938-'39 Black Friday fires.
"Back then there was The Bush Fire Brigades and the Country Fire Brigades operating across regional and rural Victoria as two distinct fire services, together with the Forests Commission.
"These two services operated with inconsistent equipment, different operational doctrine, different chains of command and inconsistent equipment; and that cost lives."
Mr Barnett said the CFA was established to fix the problem of multiple services competing across the same geographic areas.
He said the bill would create a patchwork of boundaries where two fire services would cohabitate, with different training, equipment, operational doctrine, command structures and accountabilities.
Eildon MP Cindy McLeish, speaking in the Victorian Parliament, labelled the government's attempt to pass the bill in the Lower House within three days as a disgrace.
"Not only does it show a lack of respect for the process and the parliamentary system but it also shows a lack of respect for those that are impacted by this bill," she said.
CFA acting CEO/CO Gavin Freeman said the reforms were a great opportunity to improve fire services to the whole community.
The new model will not come into effect until mid-2020, which will mean no change for the 2019-'20 fire season.
An implementation monitor will oversee the reforms and Fire Rescue Victoria and the CFA operations for 10 years.

I've just completed three sessions with Josie and after each one I feel a lift in my energy that I can't really explain. I've felt wholly supported by Josie and she has facilitated, with ease, a lovely connection between us all.
I am moving in the direction of 'towards' taking action on realising my goals.
Thank you Josie for your part in this and providing practical tools, your carefully placed pearls of wisdom, love and support. It feels a bit weird saying 'love' in the professional context but other words like 'warmth' just don't quite hit the right note.

How many times have you come back from lunch and started to feel those mid-afternoon yawns coming thick and fast, or noticed your eyelids drooping just a little bit more than they should be. As we all know this is a relatively common phenomenon but unfortunately there isn't a lot we can do about it, or is there?
Naps, everyone loves a good nap. Whether you're building up energy for later on or just need to get in a few extra z's, there's a nap for every occasion; a 20 minute nap is recommended to increase your alertness, a 30 minute nap to clear your mind, and a 90 minute nap that mimics the benefits of a deep sleep. However, when we're at work you can't really put your feet up and catch a few winks, even if you're on your lunch break.
But is the stigma around workplace naps coming to an end? Could a nap boost your productivity and make you better at what you do?
Why we need to sleep
Every night we sleep to recharge our batteries, but in recent times this is becoming harder to do. According to a 1942 Gallup Poll the average adult in the UK was receiving as much as 7.9 hours of sleep a night whereas in 2017 that number was just 6.3 hours a night, that's quite a substantial drop off.
So why aren't we getting as much sleep? Increased work pressure that has arisen from increasingly demanding jobs, longer commute times, more technology, and a wider array of recreational activities. However, the bottom line is that we're probably not getting as much as we should.
Could naps be the answer?
A study published by Nature Neuroscience entitled 'the restorative effect of naps on perceptual deterioration' found that reflexes of employees tested four times a day deteriorated with each test. Though when subjects were given a thirty minute nap after the second test there was no further deterioration. Astonishingly enough, those who took a 60 minute nap actually reversed the process and displayed reflexes as sharp as they were in the morning.
Historical examples
This method of taking short naps in the middle of the day to increase productivity, is also echoed in history and in different cultures around the globe. Many of us are familiar with the Spanish tradition of siestas, which involves an afternoon rest before heading back to work.
In preindustrial societies, some of which still exist today, it's also common for work to be done in the morning with a break taken in the afternoon to rest and recuperate before doing more work and eventually having a full night's sleep.
Because of these restorative examples of sleep several large companies have started to reintroduce the afternoon nap in a bid to create a more effective work force. Nike, Procter and Gamble, and Ben and Jerry's have all undertaken initiatives to help their employees' resting habits.
One of the more interesting examples is Google's 'sleep pods' in which employees can take a short nap in a suspended egg like structure. Employees are encouraged to use these pods to stay well rested and mitigate any of the usual human errors that can arise from lack of sleep.
What to do if you need a nap?
First, you should ask your boss, not every office has the kind of culture that encourages this kind of activity. It's also important to find somewhere quiet where you won't be disturbed or that you won't disturb anyone else. Provided that you have permission, there's no reason that you couldn't do it at your desk but getting away from your desk during the day can have benefits in and of itself. Finally, don't forget to set an alarm, the last thing you want is to sleep through the entire day!

Student Evaluation of Instruction
Student evaluation of instruction is one of the University's most important means of improving the quality of instruction at the University. The results have a direct impact on faculty, on teaching and on students: faculty members themselves read and care about student evaluations; they are taken seriously; and they improve teaching over time. Evaluations are also read carefully by deans and department heads, who routinely consider them in their yearly merit evaluation of faculty members, as well as their tenure and promotion decisions.

United beat Middlesbrough 3-1 at the weekend to climb to fifth place in the Premier League table after spending several months in sixth position and they remain well in the race for Champions League qualification.
Jones has admitted they are still going through a bit of a transition period after changing manager three times in recent years, but he feels they have shown this term they are on the right path.
"When we have dropped points so has everyone else and when we have won so has everyone else, so that is why we've been in same position for so long," Jones told Mirror Sport.
"But for us it does not matter. We just concentrate on every game and we are up to fifth now.
"It shows the fight in the squad – not literally – but it shows we are prepared to fight for each other. You cannot buy that. It is in everyone. It rubs off on us from the manager. It is all about a willingness to win and fight for each other. Whatever formation we play or the tactics we play, ultimately it is about the fight in every player and we are showing that at the moment.
"It has been a transition period, as everyone knows, but I do not think you can call anyone for a lack of fight playing football. Everybody goes out to do their absolute utmost to do their best for the manager, the team and themselves, but it was not to be in previous years. But you can see this season we have had times when we have had to dig deep.
"There is a lot of fight in that dressing-room and it is positive."

COVID-19 Resources
COVID-19 Resources
What is coronavirus and COVID-19?
Coronaviruses are a group of common viruses. They are named for the crown-like spikes on the surface of the virus. Some coronaviruses only affect animals, but others can also affect humans. Most people get infected with human coronaviruses at some time in their life.
Human coronaviruses cause respiratory illnesses. There are several different types of coronaviruses, including those that cause severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS), and coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a new type of coronavirus. It causes respiratory illness in people. It was first identified in Wuhan, China. It has spread to many countries around the world.
What can I do to protect myself from COVID-19?
There is currently no vaccine to prevent COVID-19. The best way to prevent illness is to avoid being exposed to this virus. The CDC recommends everyday preventive actions to help prevent the spread of respiratory diseases, including:
- Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.
- Stay home when you are sick.
- Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.
- Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces using a regular household cleaning spray or wipe.
- Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after going to the bathroom; before eating; and after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing.
- If soap and water are not readily available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol. Always wash hands with soap and water if hands are visibly dirty.

Trade Premiere to Benefit UN Organization
You may have felt ill after Sicko, and hot from An Inconvenient Truth. Have you recovered? Good. Then you're ready for another socially conscious film to ignite new concerns about the state of the world.
Trade explores the
lives of underage sex workers, kidnapped or lured from their home countries and
imprisoned in suburban New Jersey. Kevin Kline plays one of
the lead roles, and the screenplay was written by Jose Rivera (The Motorcycle Diaries) and directed by
Marco Kreuzpainter. Two acclaimed stage
actors, Tony Award-winning Anthony Crivello (Kiss of the Spider Woman)
and Linda Emond (Homebody/Kabul) appear as well.
The story is based on a New York Times Magazine piece by Peter
Landesman, published in January of 2004 and called "The Girls Next Door." What press materials for Trade fail to note, unsurprisingly, is that that article generated
more than the expected controversy over its lurid subject matter. In the online magazine, Slate, Jack Shafer expressed his doubts about the scope of the
problem: "Landesman's supporting evidence is vague. Where it is not
vague, it is anecdotal. Where it is anecdotal, it is often anonymous, too. And
where it is not anecdotal or vague it is suspicious and slippery."
And so the film is labeled
fiction. It's played several festivals
already, Sundance among them, and will open in New York and Los Angeles on
September 21. On September
19, the film will screen at the United Nations – the first time a
film has premiered there – with proceeds benefiting the United Nations Office
on Drugs and Crime, and Equality Now. Cast members, the director and producers, and such luminaries as Candice
Bergen, Gloria Steinem, Eve Ensler and Edwidge Danticat are expected to attend.

Accidents occur when we least expect it causing loss such as pain and suffering, wage loss, ongoing medical disabilities covering legs, arms, neck and back inhibiting a person's ability to cook, clean, wash, work and look after others.
We know that many individuals when attending hotels and pubs as well as visiting friends and family at their residential premises sustain injuries due to a fall, trip or slip and these people generally have a right of action against the Public liability Insurer of the owner of the premises known as a public liability claim. An average case even for relatively minor injuries is generally worth $80,000.00 or more based upon an award for pain and suffering, potential wage loss if applicable, future homecare needs such as a few hours assistance to perform cooking, cleaning and gardening.
The elderly in particular are at a disadvantage when a slip, fall or trip occurs as their pre-existing health problems are often increased and superimposed upon new injuries causing the injured person to rely more heavily on family and friends for homecare and gardening activities. The costs associated with homecare are approximately $30.00 – $40.00 per hour and it is highly likely that an injured person might require commercial homecare of 40 hours per week which amounts to hundreds of thousands of dollars at additional expense.
Often we obtain awards of $200,000.00 – $300,000.00 even for elderly victims who have sustained a fall as result of an accident where we establish that the owner or person in control of the premises whether it be a hotel, pub, rental property or even a housing commission government owned property are at fault due to having unsafe premises.
Gerard Malouf and Partners public liability compensation lawyers work on a "no win no fee" and first appointment free basis so contact us now if you have had a slip, trip or fall in a hotel, pub, rental property or housing commission premises on 1800 004 878.

There was a carnival atmosphere on Whangarei's Hatea Loop on Thursday 5 December when a record number of participants representing 120 workplaces from across Northland, hit the pavement in the fifth annual Ray White Hatea Loop Challenge – with a splash of colour.
Sponsored by Ray White Whangarei & Tutukaka since inception, and run in conjunction with Sport Northland, Whangarei's favourite workplace run/walk event, the Ray White Hatea Loop Challenge, celebrates the Hatea Loop Walk/Cycleway (Huarahi o te Whai) and Workplace Health. The event is designed for workplaces to participate and challenge one another in a fun, festive and social atmosphere – with plenty of entertainment along the 4.8km course as well as plenty of healthy competition for those vying for a category win. Participants enter as part of a workplace team (of three or more people) across either the run, run/walk, or walk categories – with the results being calculated on the first 3 finishers for that team. There is a range of industry categories in which teams enter – challenging fellow workplaces and departments from across the region.
This years event was a little different to previous years with a Colour Run component being added. So, in addition to being encouraged to dress up for the event, this year competitors also donned some signature yellow sunnies (an occupational health and safety requirement) to hit the course.
"As soon as the idea of adding the colour run component was put forward we knew we wanted to make it happen! It was Whangarei's first-ever colour run and the fact that over 910 people entered, making it the largest turnout for the Hatea Loop Challenge to date, speaks for itself!" said Company Director, John Monteith.
Trophies were again handed out to both the Industry Award Winners, Big Boss Winners, Fastest Team and Fastest Individuals.
This year the fastest overall team went to Keith Andrews Trucks, securing bragging rights for 2019. Fastest female was Caris Teo with a time of 19:13 and the fastest male went to Ben Hawkins at 18:36. "Big Boss" female and male awards were taken out by Adelle Allborn and Scott Kennedy respectively, both of whom representing BDO Whangarei. Event Industry Award Winners were: Ray White Whangarei (Real Estate); BDO Northland (Accounting/Finance/Insurance/Legal); Mill Road Veterinary (Government/Health/Education); Rehab Rebals (Sport & Leisure/Tourism); Northpower Misfits (Construction/Building/Transport); Northpower 8 Bad Knees (Communications/IT/Media); Keith Andrews Trucks (Retail/Hospitality); Northpower 3 Monkeys (Agriculture/Recreational Service); Kamo Volunteer Fire Brigade (Volunteer Services).
Ray White Whangarei and Tutukaka were once again proud to take out the 'Real Estate' category – with over 20 of their sales, property management and administration staff competing, plus several members volunteering to marshal at the event.
"We were so happy with how the evening unfolded – with colourful people, laughter and smiles everywhere you looked… We even had competition in our Real Estate category this year (and are pleased to say that we still came out on top in our division – with some great runners, and pretty fit members on our team" said Company Director, Vanessa McKenzie.
"It is always a great way to kick off summer, catch up with colleagues before the Christmas rush, and celebrate the Hatea Loop!" added John Monteith "and each year it just keeps getting bigger and better!"
Iconic in Northland, the Hatea Loop is a fully accessible walkway that circles the Hatea River, crossing three bridges. The Hatea Loop that weaves past restaurants, shops, through markets, besides yachts, parks and industrial areas, across the new cycle and footbridge over the Waiarohia Stream, is part of a grand vision of an area that all people can enjoy however they want to. The walkway links Whangarei's Town Basin with Te Matau a Pohe and William Fraser Memorial Park on Pohe Island – from which a variety of activities can be enjoyed. Ray White Whangarei has just moved to their purpose-built office at 131 Port Road – alongside the award-winning Whangarei's Te Matau ā Pohe bridge on The Hatea Loop.
"Thanks must go to the Sport Northland team who we've partnered with on the event. We truly value to relationship we have with their company – whose values of passion, innovation, relationships, and leadership closely align with our own, " adds fellow Company Director, Chris Hannam.
Sport Northland is a charitable trust and a registered charity with any profits reinvested into their local community programmes which are aimed at encouraging Northlanders to become more active. Funds from this years' Ray White Hatea Loop Challenge will go towards supporting their Active Workplace Programme which promotes physical activity in the workplace to help create happier, healthier working environments.
Ray White was also proud to officially launch their Summer Snap: My Happy Place photo competition at the event – "It's just another way to celebrate our amazing Northland summers" said Chris Hannam, fellow Company Director. "People are being asked to upload their summer snaps (showing their "happy place") to be in to win up to $1500 in Prezzy Cards. Entry is via our company website or Facebook page.

Four flying mallets, one brilliant operator, 69 wooden bars and a brand-new composition combine to produce a mesmerising marimba masterpiece that is just as fascinating to watch as it is to listen to.
Yoshiko Tsuruta, who lives in Tauranga, will be performing the world premiere of prestigious New Zealand composer Gareth Farr's marimba concerto.
Gareth Farr, ONZM, is a multi-award-winning composer. His music has been heard and/or commissioned for many high-profile events, including the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney and the opening ceremony of the Rugby World Cup 2011.
His dynamic and energetic new work has been specifically written for the extended range of Tsuruta's marimba, which at 3-m long means her footwork will be just as captivating as her flying arms!
Helen Clark said, "Gareth is the most amazingly prolific and talented composer. He makes music very accessible to young and old alike". And one couldn't get higher accolades than from the world's premier solo percussionist, Dame Evelyn Glennie.
Glennie has herself commissioned music from Farr and considers him "an outstanding composer". She looks forward to presenting the northern hemisphere performance of Farr's new work.
Also on the programme are masterpieces by Bach and Haydn, capped with a work from Copland.

Tyrod Taylor remembers winning the starting job
, throwing touchdown passes and seeing die-hard fans standing in snow at Buffalo's airport on New Year's Eve to celebrate the end of a 17-year playoff drought.His three years with the Bills were special, filled with long-lasting memories.His exit wasn't.Traded to Cleveland in March for a third-round draft pick (No. 65 overall), Taylor said Tuesday that he holds no bitterness toward the Bills, but that the team's decision to part ways with him is fueling his desire to deliver for the Browns.It's driving him."Each year has its own way of motivating itself," Taylor said. "But definitely how I think it ended there, it's motivation for this year."Coming off a "perfect" performance in his preseason debut for the Browns last week, Taylor, who has quickly established himself as a leader in Cleveland, will face his former teammates for the first time Friday night when the Bills visit in the second exhibition for both teams.Taylor made it clear that there's no resentment and that his focus this week, and every week, is on improving the Browns — not paying back the Bills."I'm looking forward to Week 2 of the preseason," Taylor said. "I'm not going to make this about me or Buffalo. It's an opportunity for us to get better as a team, an opportunity for me to get better as a player."While that's honorable, Taylor reiterated that if somewhere down the line the Browns and Bills ever matched up in the postseason, he'd love to show Buffalo what it's missing."I wouldn't say it was painful," Taylor said of being dealt by the Bills. "I have nothing to hold (hang) my head about in my time in Buffalo. It was a progression from a players' standpoint each and every year, but of course why would I not want to beat that team in the playoffs if it comes down to that?"I'm always excited to compete. But I know those guys
, played against those guys, the majority of those guys for the past three years, some new players and I'd love to play against those guys."It didn't take long for the 29-year-old Taylor to ingratiate himself to the Browns. He has set an example on and off the field, whether arriving at 5 a.m. to get in an early morning workout or staying late to break down film.It's the only way Taylor knows, and he's having a strong influence on rookie Baker Mayfield, the No. 1 overall pick who will one day supplant him as Cleveland's starter.Mayfield said Taylor is showing him how to be a professional."Just the work ethic and everything he brings to the table every day," Mayfield said, when asked about Taylor's standards. "It's the same every day. You hear (offensive coordinator) coach (Todd) Haley talk about 'not being a yo-yo guy. You want to be consistent,' and Ty really, really is the example of that."He's the same guy every day. You know exactly what you're going to get out of him, and that's important for our guys to see that. They see the standard. They see the expectations, and he lives up to it every day."Taylor set a high bar for himself last week by recording a perfect 158.3 rating in two series against the New York Giants. He completed 5 of 5 passes for 99 yards and a touchdown before turning the offense over to Mayfield, who shined in his NFL preseason debut.Mayfield's performance prompted a push — locally and nationally — for the Browns to start the Heisman Trophy winner over Taylor.But while there's noise outside the Browns, Taylor's world is tranquil."I really don't hear those comments," he said. "I've always been focused on myself. Like I said from Day One, I'm in competition with myself and how can I make myself better each and every day and I'm going to keep having that mindset and push myself to be the best player I can be."NOTES: Tempers flared during practice, which featured three fights
, including one involving Pro Bowl WR Jarvis Landry and starting CB Terrence Mitchell. As Landry rolled on the ground following a catch, Mitchell went over the top of him and hit the receiver's back. Landry popped up and slammed the ball of Mitchell's helmet before they grabbed each other's facemasks. Coach Hue Jackson chalked the skirmishes up to the dog days of camp. "This is football. We have been going after it," Jackson said. "It is not something that we want. We are men. Guys know as long as we do not start swinging with our fists and we let it go, we can move on from it." ... Former Ohio State DT Jonathan Hankins is scheduled to work out for the Browns on Wednesday. He previously played for the Giants and Colts. Coming into the 2018 season, it was expected that the Buffalo Bills defense would be the strength of the team, but after two weeks, the Bills boasted a defense that ranked at or near the bottom in most major statistical categories. Buffalo had allowed 78 points in back-to-back losses to the Baltimore Ravens (47-3) and Los Angeles Chargers (31-20) in starting the season 0-2, although there was reason for hope. In the second half of the Chargers game, Buffalo held their high-flying offense to three points and only 61 total yards of offense (including only three rushing yards when the Chargers were in an obvious run-the-ball-and-kill-the-clock mode) after halftime.Since then, Buffalo's defense has thrived, throttling Kirk Cousins and the potent Minnesota Vikings offense during a 27-6 Week 3 win in Minneapolis, and holding Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers offense in check in a 22-0 setback at Lambeau Field. Buffalo's defense harassed and confused the Tennessee Titans during a 13-12 Week 5 win at New Era Field. The unit's turnaround continued in Week 6, when the Bills sacked Deshaun Watson seven times, forced three fumbles, and recorded two interceptions in doing everything it could to earn the win against the Houston Texans. Watson entered the game having thrown for 300 or more yards in his last four games, but the Bills limited Watson to 177 passing yards. Buffalo has not seen an opposing signal-caller throw for 300 or more yards in its last 15 games, the longest current streak in the league. Since the Week 2 blowout loss to the Chargers
, Buffalo has climbed the rankings in many key statistical categories. Buffalo was next-to-last in the league in points allowed per game (39) after the team's 0-2 start, but has climbed to 12th (allowing 23 points per game). After ranking 18th in total defense, Buffalo has risen to 3rd, allowing 48 fewer yards per game (from 359 yards per game to 311 yards per game). The run defense has gone from 22nd to 8th (from 113 yards per game to 92.5 yards per game), while the pass defense has climbed from 16th to 6th (from 246 yards per game to 219.2 yards per game). Buffalo's pass rush has done some serious damage over the last four weeks, rising from 16th to 7th (from recording sacks on six percent of plays to nine percent). Jerry Hughes (4.5 sacks) is leading the charge rushing the passer, followed by Kyle Williams (3.5 sacks), Trent Murphy (3), and Lorenzo Alexander (2.5). Add it all up and you have a defense that, according to the experts at Football Outsiders, trails only the Chicago Bears and Baltimore Ravens in their DVOA (Defense-adjusted Value Over Average) ratings, which according to the Football Outsiders website "breaks down every play and compares a team's performance to the league average based on situation in order to determine value over average. The resurgence of Buffalo's defense is good news, considering how mightily the Bills offense has been struggling, especially moving forward knowing that prized rookie quarterback Josh Allen will miss the next few weeks with an elbow injury. If the Bills (2-4) are to win games over the next month, most of the responsibility is going to fall on Leslie Frazier and his 4-3 defense—whose squad has certainly been the backbone of this team over the last month following a slow start to the year.

My baby girl got braces!
Yesterday McKinley got her braces. After she got them, her whole face was gleaming with pride! Not having braces myself, I didn't really understand how she could be so excited. Then it hit me like a 2 x 4 straight in the face. She was so excited because braces on her teeth meant she was growing up. Duh! Silly me, every time I look at her I still see my sweet, smiling, chubby cheeked toddler... She looks in the mirror and sees herself as an emerging young lady. Not exactly sure when it happened, but somewhere between potty training and Polly Pockets, my little baby grew up.

We are preparing to take a tour to southern Iceland to enhance our GCSE photography students portfolio. The tour will give students the opportunity to experience a wide range of photography in the desolate but majestic landscapes of Iceland. We will learn techniques including long exposure, astro-photography, wildlife and street photography. This video which consists of hundreds of individuals images of the northern lights stitched together to create the illusion of movement, it is an advanced technique that we are hoping to teach our students.
The slides from this evening can be viewed here, they give an idea of the sort of locations and photography we will be practising during the trip. The full presentation can be downloaded from here (>100 MB) if it is useful.
The following video is from a trip in 2016 which visited many of the same locations and few different ones, it gives a good idea of the conditions in Iceland and the sort of photography we will have the opportunity to try out.
This gallery gives an idea of the sort of scenery and photography we are likely to experience in Iceland during February.

don't forget your roots (2013/BRIDGE NINE)
HARDCORE. H2O has been a mainstay in hardcore and punk since their inception back in 1995 and have had many influences along the way. The band is thrilled to pay homage to those influential artists by covering their songs on "don't forget your roots". H2O tips their hat to bands like the RAMONES; DAG NASTY, MADBALL; RANCID, CIRCLE JERKS, DESCENDENTS, CRO-MAFS, BAD BRAINS, THE CLASH. GOVERNMENT ISSUE, VERBAL ASSAULT, GORILLA BISCUITS, MIGHTY MIGHTY BOSSTONES, 7 SECONDS, EMBRACE, SOCIAL DISTORTION, SICK OF IT ALL and WARZONE. Vinyl includes a digital download card.
f.t.t.w. (2008/EPITAPH)
HARDCORE. Fronted by ex-SICK OF IT ALL roadie Toby Morse, H2O have the kind of street cred and New York Hardcore chops that get the blood pumping. In addition, the band is well versed in the melodies of outfits like HÜSKER DÜ and BAD RELIGION and the art of crafting songs that stick like a mouse in a gluetrap. H2O's 3rd album, "f.t.t.w." (which stands for "faster than the world") is the group's most focused and energetic release, incorporating straight-edge dynamics and pop-punk hooks.
nothing to prove (2018/BRIDGE NINE)
HARDCORE. H2O's "nothing to prove" is not a comeback. This is an album that seemed like it was always in progress over the last 7 years. H2O has come together and found their voice with more strength, excitement and energy than ever. Of all their records, this is certainly the best. It's very saccharine, but not as sappy and lightweight as their later albums, and you can hear that they had fun making this album and that all the songs and singalongs on it come from the heart. From start to finish this album does not let up. Colored Ten-year anniversary pressing comes with a gatefold-cover and includes a digital download card.
one life, one chance (2006/MUSIC VIDEO)
HARDCORE. This DVD contains the complete live performance from H20's historic 10 year anniversary show at NYC's Knitting Factory! Also included is the original longform home video "f.t.t.w." shot between 1994 and 1999 which includes interviews, H20 in the studio recording their 1st two records, tons of on the road footage and live songs all over the world. All of H2O's promo videos are also included such as "spirit of '84".
thicker than water (2012/BRIDGE NINE/EPITAPH)
HARDCORE. Since their formation in 1995, H2O has released 5 full-length albums (and a tribute album). Their highly acclaimed 2nd album, "thicker than water", originally released in 1997 on Epitaph Records, resonated with classic elements of East-Coast hardcore and West-Coast melody. "thicker than water" is H2O's essential album, that has been out-of-print on vinyl for years. Colored vinyl includes a digital download card.
use your voice (2016/BRIDGE NINE)
HARDCORE. It's been seven years since the release of a proper full-length album from H2O, but the bicoastal hardcore-punk pillars return with "use your voice", their 1st original studio album since 2008's "nothing to prove". While 2011's covers, "don't forget your roots", was a loving ode to their influences, "use your voice" reignites H2O's classic mix of melodic hardcore aggression and pop-punk bounce.
enterprises (2008/SMALL STONE)
Riffs upon riffs. Wave upon wave of endless tone. Hail the sludge. Bring on the end times.
culture scars (2016/EQUAL VISION)
POST-HARDCORE/METALCORE. HAIL THE SUN formed in 2009 in California. "culture scars" is HHAIL THE SUN's thought-provoking, 3rd full-length. There is no doubt of where HAIL THE SUN's roots lie. Their frantic post-hardcore styling bleeds through their blistering talent, re-positioning the likes of ALESANA, CHIODOS and other bands that dominated the 2000s into the forefront of listeners minds. The 10-track album offers a dark mix of personal reflection and social commentary, exploring the relationships between observation vs. action and perception vs. reality - and the effect of each on human emotion and society as a whole. Colored vinyl includes a digital download card.
mental knife (2018/EQUAL VISION)
POST-HARDCORE/METALCORE. Sonically, "mental knife" is the closest the band has come to realizing the sound they've sought since forming in 2009. The band lived largely in the same creative space for this record as they did on its predecessors - "culture scars" (2016) and "secret wars" (2017). However, all 4 members of the band have elevated their already impressive style of play on "mental knife" - pushing the limit of what is capable when walking the delicate line between intricate song arrangements and massive riffs and thundering rhythms. Thick 180gr vinyl includes a digital download card.
same old story (2017/IT'S ALIVE)
HARDCORE. HALFOFF's "same old story" CD includes the 17 tracks from the rare tape release from back in the days - 1986. CD comes with a 12-page booklet with never before seen photographs/flyers/liner notes/etc.
gurus of peace (2007/ROOKIE)
PUNK-ROCK. The 2nd album of the Flensburg punk trio including Piet of TURBOSTAAT on drums. Founded as a fun project of work mates they got really famous for rockin as hell live on stage. Musically they homage to the punk like CIRCLE JERKS, BLACK FLAG (incl. a cool acapella version of "wasted" this time), mixed with a portion of death-punk ala early TURBONEGRO, old MOTÖRHEAD, Gainsville sound like HOT WATER MUSIC and some garage influences. Recorded in only three days "gurus of peace" shows the band's pure live power, punk music reduced to the prime components without any gimmicks captured.
s/t (2008/HIGH FIDELITY)
DEATHCORE. HALO OF GUNFIRE, hailing from the picturesque central California coastland, take the new-school extreme metal sound to a level only seen in such acts as BLACK DAHLIA MURDER, THROUGH THE EYES OF THE DEAD, JOB FOR A COWBOY and DESPISED ICON, and omit clean, sung vocals entirely.
disenchanted (2015/PURE NOISE ENTERTAINMENT)
POP-PUNK. HANDGUNS, the hardest-working pop-punk band in the game, is back with their 3rd full-length album. "disenchanted" is packed with punk-rock anthems, sing-alongs and, to no surprise, angst. Colored vinyl includes a digital download card.
dissonants (2016/RISE)
EMO/POST-HARDCORE. Since their debut in 2012, HANDS LIKE HOUSES has been making waves in their scene. Now HANDS LIKE HOUSES are ready to kick things up another notch with their 12 track 3rd full-length album, "dissonants". From beginning to end, "dissonants" is packed with catchy choruses and soaring melodies that fans are sure to love. Colored vinyl includes a CD version.
s/t (1997/EQUAL VISION)
SXE-HARDCORE. From the ashes of MOUTHPIECE, this is what lies ahead. This MCD feature 6 instant sxe-hardcore anthems sure to please.

"I wonder if I've been changed in the night. Let me think. Was I the same when I got up this morning? I almost think I can remember feeling a little different. But if I'm not the same, the next question is 'Who in the world am I?' Ah, that's the great puzzle!"
― Lewis Carroll, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland
Now on to our regularly scheduled vaguely worded recap!
While Beth is on assignment covering a fashion shoot, a young model named Renee falls ill and suddenly dies – just as Josef goes to Mick for help in tracking down Lola, an ancient vampire who has made off with a bit of Josef's money. Mick quickly learns that Lola has recently purchased a large warehouse and is using it to store a metric ton of silver, a poison to vampires. He resolves to examine the matter closely.
"Alice had got so much into the way of expecting nothing but out-of-the-way things to happen, that it seemed quite dull and stupid for life to go on in the common way."
― Lewis Carroll, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland
Meanwhile, investigating Renee's death, Beth attempts to gain entrance into the VIP room of a new dance club. When she is unsuccessful, she visits the morgue, where she learns the girl overdosed on pure silver. She meets Mick and discloses what she has learned about the silver, which interests him. With Mick's help, Beth is able to access the VIP room of the club where she observes the patrons taking a drug called "Black Crystal." Mick joins her, but not before she has attracted the unwanted attention of Lola. Before the investigation can proceed however, the police, led by Josh, raid the club – and they all go their separate ways.
"If you drink much from a bottle marked 'poison' it is certain to disagree with you sooner or later."
― Lewis Carroll, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland
Beth returns home with a vial of the Black Crystal drug hidden away in her purse. Home alone, she tries the drug. The effects are immediate and intense.
"She tried to fancy what the flame of a candle is like after the candle is blown out, for she could not remember ever having seen such a thing."
― Lewis Carroll, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland
The next day, Beth learns from Josh that the police will raid the warehouse where Lola runs her drug operation. Beth tips Mick off, and after taking Lola head on, he burns the warehouse to the ground to prevent information about vampires from becoming public.
Afterwards, Mick and Josef commiserate over the loss of Lola, while Beth attempts to go back to life as usual with Josh.
"I can't go back to yesterday because I was a different person then. "
― Lewis Carroll, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland
This is one of those episodes where NONE of the things we're going to talk about are the plot points I just outlined above. Instead, we're going to talk about these things:
A) Can you imagine sleeping naked in a freezer?
B) Dancing on the cheekbones… No. Just No. Sorry, but Holly's not my type…. I have no particular admiration or envy of her cheekbones.
C) Mick's great lines in this ep: Digitial photography what a boon for the tribe, eh? / Perpetual Coolness Is The Vampire's Curse / Oh there's space! There's space. 😆 Plus some others I'll mention below, plus probably some more that I won't. This ep was a great one for Mick.
D) Building a Pirate Army! Back in the day you could do that kind of thing! 17th Century Lola was a hoot.
E) Alex's face through this whole episode is working overtime, it's really incredible. Mick is pretty giddy that Josef is in such a tight spot over a woman. Then he's all concerned about Lola killing vamps. Then disgusted by the vamp killed by silver. Then Beth's got him all twisted in knots. And on and on and on. It's the emotional gamut that is just… pretty impressive. Hence my inability to exercise moderation in my screencapping of this episode.
F) I need this microchip inserted in my hand / Well of course you do! But then Mick has this big honkin needle (yeah yeah yeah) and she doesn't even feel it! Also, the kiss? An accident. Oh! Good to know!
G) I did not understand Lola's motivation — to make money getting humans high? I mean… with a silver-based drug in their systems, it's not like the vamps could feed on the high humans, right? So what's the point? and if she can just …wheedle a million dollars out of Josef once every few years, what's the point of such an elaborate business venture?
H) However Mick has totally seen Beth naked now, so Lola who's plans are what now, no one cares, hmm?
I) Beth & Josh's apologies to each other — what really great scene. To me, that was believable & sincere and showed what good hearts these two had, and you could see how the two of them really "worked" together.
J) So Lola had to hire human scientists to work with her silver-based drug. Mick didn't seem too fussed about outing his vamp-ness to them which got me thinking about being a female vamp — and having male freshies (if one were so inclined, NOH8) — instead of female ones? Would have loved to have seen some of that.
K) Lola you Velveeta Queen. (that is all)
L) Love, love, love Mick refilling & leaving the drink for Josef once he's done with it.
"How puzzling all these changes are! I'm never sure what I'm going to be, from one minute to another."
― Lewis Carroll, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland
Some parting shots:
`But then,' thought Alice, `shall I never get any older than I am now? That'll be a comfort, one way–never to be an old woman– but then–always to have lessons to learn! Oh, I shouldn't like that!'
― Lewis Carroll, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland
And finally, you know how I always say "still pictures are Moonlight's worst enemy?"
…and you girls know a set-up when you read one. Go to!

Victor Chapelliere studied for a Masters of Chiropractic degree at the Madrid College of Chiropractic, where he graduated from in 2018.
Victor is a registered D.O. and is practising as a Doctor of Osteomyology in the clinic.
He has always been very interested in the health sector and has always wanted to help people to ease their pain, cure them and help achieve a state of good health.
Victor likes to follow a more holistic approach to health rather than simply feeding the body with medication, and therefore studied Chiropractic which is, in his words, the most complete and specific health profession that exists.
He has many passions in life, especially playing tennis, travelling, trekking and learning about the human body. During the last year, Victor went on a humanitarian Chiropractic trip in Namibia.

TORONTO—Abrahim Khan was glad that one of the promoters of Shen Yun convinced him to attend the premier classical Chinese dance and music production at the Canon Theatre this Mother's Day weekend.
"Fantastic, fabulous, the colours were magnificent, very lively . . . the dancing was very graceful, the choreography, the blending of the music, the different kinds of instruments," said Prof. Khan, referring to the sets, costumes, and distinctive Shen Yun orchestra that combines traditional Chinese and western classical instruments.
The professor teaches at the University of Toronto's Faculty of Divinity at Trinity College. He is also Director of the faculty's Advanced Degree Studies and cross-appointed to the university's Graduate Centre for the Study of Religion.
Prof. Khan was delighted by the state-of-the-art digital backdrop accompanying each dance and song, often animated to coordinate with the storyline and choreography.
"[It was] marvellous . . . the cinematography that was supposed to be part of the backdrop. It was quite exciting," he said after watching the opening show on Friday night.
However, "the most impressive things were the host and hostess," he noted, praising Ben Freed and Yang Song, who with grace and humour introduced the cultural and historical background behind each performance in both Chinese and English.
"I thought they did a marvellous job, very impressive. Their language, their exposition, and their engagement with the audience—I thought that was magnificent the way they did it."
Not only did Prof. Khan enjoy the beauty of the presentation, he was also moved by the deep meaning underlying the performances.
"They were able to bring together the notion of divine beings in this life," he said.
New York-based Shen Yun Performing Arts was founded in 2006 by a group of leading Chinese dancers, choreographers, and musicians who endeavoured to foster cultural renewal by reviving the authentic artistic traditions of China that have been all but destroyed under decades of communist rule.
Shen Yun's performances portray the essence of Chinese arts and culture which are marked by a devotion to virtue, kindness, good character, and a reverence toward the divine.
Prof. Khan singled out the story-based dance titled Splitting the Mountain in which a boy becomes a disciple of a mystical Taoist who bestows him with the powers needed to free his mother, a goddess imprisoned by her brother inside a mountain because she married a mortal.
Noting that the protagonist is "someone who is [both] heavenly and earthly," he said the dance "touches on the tension of all human beings."
"That tension tries to capture the attention of every human being's experiences. It needs not be heavenly directly—it may be tension between cities, cultures, customs. In that sense, I think that part of the story is quite poignant."
He added that "the show speaks very well of the artistic abilities and the potentialities of the people—immigrants—who come here and weave a life of their own, in terms of not just living day to day, but excelling in their particular area."
"There are a lot of good things, a lot of positive things in this," said Prof. Khan, and these themes are not only part of the history of the Chinese people "but also part of the western cultural tradition."
"I am glad I came. I am very happy I came," he said.
Shen Yun will return to Toronto in January to present its new 2011 program at the Sony Centre for the Performing Arts.

Betty Was Missing
A month ago, Betty went out for her daily roams and never came back. The neighbours reported not seeing her. She was gone all throughout Ramadhan. We live close to thick tropical-grade underbrush.

Submit your review
Mike of NW Pro Builders Group was great! We were looking for a home in OR from 3000 miles away - not an easy task. He took the time to visit several homes we were interested in and videotape the visit, which helped us narrow our search. We had some specific wants and needs for our home, and he helped us identify the right home for us. He was always prompt in answering any questions we had and obtaining info we needed. When we were able to go to OR to look at the home, he made all the arrangements for us to tour the home and property and accompanied us so we could ask more questions and so he could point out any areas of concern which needed to be addressed - he is very knowledgeable about home structure, etc. He arranged all the inspections and accompanied the inspectors, then reviewed the inspections results with us (3000 miles away) so we could develop a plan of what needed to be done next. He was always honest and considerate, and he did an excellent job negotiating with the seller's agent to reach an agreement we all seemed happy with. Even after the sale, he has continued to be someone we can call upon with questions and for advice. We were very impressed and satisfied with the care, integrity, knowledge, experience and professionalism he showed us during what could have been a very daunting experience - he made it understandable and doable. We highly recommend his services to others.
Mike was very Knowledgable with the Market and gave me the confidence to apply for a USDA loan. We found the house we were looking for and our first offer was accepted. This was our first home purchase and it went very smoothly. He provided me with a great Broker and I couldn't be happier with the level of service all around. 100% recommend Mike Sines!
"We've worked with Diane and Mike both as buyers and sellers and we will definitely continue to use them! We felt they really listened to us and also gave us help that saved us thousands of dollars. They are both very professional and excellent realtors! We've referred friends to them as well and they took excellent care with them too!"
"Diane never missed a beat when I needed her help or guidance through the process of purchasing my home. Her negotiation skills are amazing! She is the best and I highly recommend her."
"Worked with Michael Sines on our home sale back in June 2018. Process was extremely easy and fair. He represented us well in our sale and we were lucky enough to receive a full price offer on day one. I would highly recommend him."
