Mike McCarthy didn't like the Green Bay Packers' start last year and hated even more to see the way the season almost fell apart because of a second injury epidemic in three years. The Packers finished 11-5, won the NFC North and won a playoff game, but the team McCarthy expected to be coaching at the end of last season never materialized. And so McCarthy spent a good portion of this off-season meeting with his coaches to figure out how they can avoid the pitfalls that made it an unfulfilling season. "To me I always look for that point in training camp where my team starts going," McCarthy said this week at the NFL owners meetings. "And we didn't have that this year. I'm not blaming it on the off-season. I don't know. "We had that point in camp with injuries. We didn't start fast. I'm not talking about our record, I'm talking about quality of play. Our quality of play was not what it needed to be the first four weeks." Nor was it what he hoped the final four weeks. The team plugged holes with young players when the injuries hit, got healthy late in the year and then stalled in the playoffs. A pair of duds against Minnesota and San Francisco were simply leftover DNA of an uneven season. In 2012, 29 players missed at least one game due to injury and two years before that, 31 missed at least game. The 2010 team overcame them because few were to critical players, but last year starters missed a whopping 93 games. Why those numbers are so high remains a bit of a mystery, but McCarthy and his medical and training staffs have been studying the data and considering some changes to how they do things.
Green Bay Packers' McCarthy never felt at ease last season

Question for the Aussies
I'm dealing with a person in Australia, and the present task seems fairly straightforward to me- she needs to get a cashiers check in US funds, and send it to me in USA as a retainer for some legal work. She seems to be having a very difficult time of it. Is it really that difficult?
She started out wanting my banking information so her bank could wire transfer it. I was born during the day, but not yesterday- no dice. She still "is working the problem", and I wouldn't be surprised if she gets back around to getting my banking info again. But we shall see. -
A big scam, delete it right away. Walt.
I have sent $$$ via wire transfer overseas about 6 times in the last year with no issues on either the sending or receiving end. The only issue is the fee both parties have to pay for the transfer. I would be leery of a cashiers check from someone I don't know personally.
I have a savings account that has only the required minimum $$$ to prevent paying any monthly fees. I only use that account for sending W/T's. If I were to receive one, I would only use that account.
Kevin C.
That's how I always do business overseas
Buying and selling
never had any issues at all
Mike -
Same thing here, I have one checking account with minimum balance to avoid fees, and use that for receiving payments by wire or from PayPal. Soon as I have a payment, I withdraw or transfer it to a different account. I used US Forex to send funds in Euros or Czech Korun to personal accounts with no problems. I did have to wire money to US Forex in NY, and the fee from my bank for the wire transfer was $20! The fee for US Forex to transfer the funds is only $5, plus there is the exchange rate to consider.
In Europe, and much of the rest of the world, there is the IBAN account transfer, that protects the holder's account info better. However, the US government in it's ever increasing overreach and intrusion into our privacy, requires the full account info of the foreign receiver's or sender's account, supposedly to detect "money laundering", Tax Evasion", or "Terrorist Activity". This can explain why some foreign persons may need the full account info to make the transfer to a US account. It is complicated and frustrating. Since 9-11, and our government's ever increasing hunger for our tax dollars, this overreaching intrusion into our lives has reached intolerable levels. In essence we are sacrificing our liberties for so called "security". When and where does it stop?
With PayPal, there is a limit to how much one can send and receive in a one time payment. for smaller amounts under $1000, it may work, but be aware the fee amounts to about 3.5% plus the exchange rate....... Any transaction $10,000 or above is automatically reported to the US gov't. A series of smaller transactions over a few days totalling $10,000 or more will send up "red flags" , as it will raise suspicion that one is trying to skirt the $10,000 reportable amount......

"I care about the Republican Party because of its strong emphasis on the dignity that comes from economic opportunity and self-reliance, a robust foreign policy that holds dictators accountable for slaughtering their people, its emphasis on school choice, and strong support for Israel. And anyone who cares about the party knows that it can no longer postpone a serious reexamination of its sexual values obsession."

This is a luggage label for Cunard White Star Cruises dating back to 1949. The label is part of the Laurence Miller Collection of ocean liner and cruise ship materials at The Wolfsonian-Florida International University in Miami Beach.
From the MIAMI HERALD
Posted on Fri, Dec. 26, 2008
Laurence Miller donates memorabilia to Wolfsonian
A former university official donated his extensive collection of vintage ocean liner and cruise ship memorabilia — such as menus, stationery and deck plans — to the Wolfsonian-FIU Museum earlier this month. Laurence Miller, former executive director of Florida International University's libraries, started amassing his collection, which also includes postcards and brochures, in the 1950s.
Those 15,000 to 20,000 items, which span between the years 1950 and 2000, now complement the museum's own collection of cruise ship memorabilia from the 1930s and 1940s. [Read more...]

The JMSC Appointed ABC's First Overseas Campus Bureau
The JMSC's international project in cooperation with the American Broadcasting Company's ABC News was extended for a second year in 2010.
This year 16 students from the JMSC will contribute to the ABC News on Campus programme.
Each student will have the opportunity to develop projects for ABC News.
Some will travel to other Asian destinations on reporting visits. The partnership marks the second year of collaboration for ABC News on Campus and HKU.
Under the tutelage of Jim Laurie, an ABC News veteran who now lectures at the JMSC, the students will pitch stories directly to ABC News in New York with the goal of completing packages for use on one or more of ABC News' platforms.
Since November 2009, students with strong skills in video journalism have carried out field trips and reported for ABC News; their work appearing on line and on air in North America.
This Experiential Learning Project, funded by a Teaching Development Grant, has given students the opportunity to report from Hong Kong, mainland China, the Philippines, Cambodia, and Vietnam.
In June 2010, a group of students visited the New York headquarters of ABC News and rival NBC News where they were briefed by top American journalists.

Ireland's John Lacey will referee his first ever RBS 6 Nations match in February, while Alain Rolland is also included in the Elite Panel in what is his last season.
Young people are the lifeblood of any sport and Irish Rugby is no different to other sports in this regard. We want to welcome young people into our clubs and schools so that they can enjoy our great game.
It goes without saying that parents are entitled to know that their children are involved and playing rugby in an environment that respects young peoples' saftey, health, welfare and dignity. It is our responsibility both at Union, Branch, Club and Schools levels to ensure that this is the case and I commend this document which outlines the IRFU Child Welfare Policy and I thank those who have worked hard to provide such clear guidelines for us all to follow.
Every rugby club is required to act in accordance with the regulations and guidelines in this document and a sign a Declaration of Intent to that effect. All age grade volunteers (coaches / managers / referees and / or any team assistants) to receive a copy of the Child Welfare document and after reading the document sign the Declaration of Intent page and hand it to the Club Child Welfare Officer for record keeping in the club.
All age grade volunteers (coaches/managers/referees and/or any team assistants) working in Northern Ireland or in clubs affiliated to the IRFU Ulster Branch must adhere to the requirements as specified by the IRFU Ulster Branch and Sport NI (Information & requirements available from the IRFU Ulster Branch). It is important to note that clubs are responsible for the recruitment and screening of volunteers & therefore must have suitable policies in place.
All Primary and Secondary Schools have adopted Department of Education /Science Child protection Guidelines. Each School has a designated Liaison Person(DLP) to deal with issues of Child Protection.
Each School has a deputy designated Liaison person to deal with issues of Child Protection. Vetting procedures are in place for all adults with access to children.
The Child Protection Guidelines apply to all personnel (staff/non staff) involved in all school activities involving access to children. The IRFU Child Welfare Policy may be used by Schools to compliment existing School Practice.

the question is - can I use it twice a day, before socializing ? (morning and late afternoon)
Will this stuff works everytime the same, or every time it will be less powerful?

Thirty 7 North Restaurant & Bar
Online Reservations
Thank you for a special evening. It is a slow time of year and a lot of places neglect guest but you all showed why you are great. Thank you for an amazing dinner and a memorable night.
Our second time at 37 North. Great food, love they do fresh and local! My husband loves the house cured bacon. It was a hit with our friends,only negative is it is loud. Excellent service too.. We will return.
This place was fabulous! My fiancee and I went to dinner to celebrate our engagement, and it was the perfect romantic date night restaurant. Our server was fantastic - I had him choose the wine to pair with the trout that I ordered - and he was attentive without being intrusive. The plate presentation was beautiful, and the food tasted even better. We will definitely be back!
I took an out of town friend on Sunday night, and we loved every bit of our dinner. She had the mushroom salad and scallops, and I had the watercress salad and pork chop. We enjoyed a lovely bottle of wine, and shared the chocolate dessert. Everything was fabulous, and our waiter made the night even better with good recommendations and great service. I can only say good things!!!
We talked with waiter extensively about Pinots and our favorites. I ordered the Wild Hog Saralees Pinot Noir but was served the Wild Hog Zinfandel. The zinfandel portion of the label was not noticed until after i had my first glass. I liked their Zin and it was a date with my wife so I gave her the taste and she said she liked it but disapointing to have received the wrong wine. Jumbo shrimp was good a little expensive for 1 bite. The Tuna appetizer was tasty and presented well. Warm mushroom salad was small but nice. There was no salt or pepper on the table or I would have added some to it. The Trout main course was very pretty but the buttermilk sauce was bland. Coffee dessert was an A+.
We look forward to our next occasion to visit this fine, yet casual dining restaurant.
My husband and I both had amazing dinners. The food was spectacular, the wine selection was superb, and Richard (our waiter) was excellent. We will definitely return.
Enjoyed this dinner. Live music from the bar and speaker music in the restaurant were competing. We were trying to figure our what two songs were playing at once. How about turning one off.
Another amazing night at 37N. I can not say enough about this place.....sat night there was a guy playing music in the bar and he was really good, food was wonderful ( our table had shrimp, salads, halibut, and scallops-great wine too), and Jeremy our waiter was spot on. I love dining here and I am so happy that there are restaurants of this caliber in the vb dining scene!
First visit...Tuesday evening 6:30pm res. Nice bar, good bartender. Hostess noted my arrival said no problem enjoying cocktails while biz dinner party arrived. seated around 7 and place nearly full with suit crowd for biz dinners. Pleasant server but dining room was understaffed for the crowd. where was the manager helping out...server did recognize the slow service and admitted they were understaffed. took a while for drinks and to take orders. once orders taken, food arrived in a reasonable amount of time. Well prepared and presented with nice sized portions from the fish specials to the scallops and ribs. Apps were tasty and good portions. Nice wine list with typical higher end restaurant markup but server didnt know wine well.
Been wanting to try this restaurant for a while. It was an amazing experience. When you first enter the parking lot you know you are somewhere special. The décor inside is absolutely beautiful. The dining room is huge, so you don't feel like you are cramped even when the tables are full. Our server was very knowledgeable and helped us pick some items off the dinner menu. I really enjoyed everything I tried. The presentation of the appetizers and entrees we ordered was spot on. It was just a great experience. I wanted to mention was the entertainment. There was a live performer in the bar while we were dining. Instead of being a distraction or overpowering, it really added to the experience and was way better than just the radio.
This restaurant opened in July of 2012 in an area noted for good restaurants of all flavors. So it can be challenging for a new comer to make an impression and thrive. Thirty 7 North has a great concept. The menu is innovated with reasonable prices. A very good wine selection. The staff was very attentive. My business associates from Germany were very impressed. We had a very enjoyable evening, stayed 3+ hours!
Amazing evening with friends. We started in the bar for a couple signature cocktails and then were seated in the dining room over looking what looked like a fishing dock. That was fun, as they were busy that night bringing in our fresh catch. We all ordered apps, which were fantastic. My friends both had the scallops and the trout. I had the halibut special, which I really enjoined. The service was non-intrusive and they seemed to work together as we never really needed anything throughout dinner. Things almost just happened. This was my second visit and my friends first; we will be back. The server mentioned they change the menu often so that alone will be my reason!
The food was superb and it has a water front setting. The staff was very attentive. We will return!
I was pleasantly surprised by the tasty food and vibriant atmosphere. The only thing I did not care for were the hydrated morsels instad of using fresh ones with the bison filet.. The morsels had not soaked long enough and there for were dry and rubbery. The waitstaff was very attentative.
This is a special find and a must go for anyone looking for a small nook and cranny place in Virginia beach. It has romance ambiance and the best food anywhere near the beach.
A rainy night,, gloomy and dull, Brightened when we walked in the Door! Our first time here and the food and service was AMAZING! Our server was not over attentive, the food was excellent, and the dessert was to die for. We will definitely return, and soon!
Great food, service and ambience! A member of our party required gluten-free food and the restaurant was extremely accommodating from the minute we made the reservation. We will definitely be going back on a regular basis.
Hampton roads needs more restaurants like thirty seven north, a seasonal menu dishing up fresh local ingredients. Not to mention a wine list offering a broad choice of varietals. all this circumferenced by a bright, open and tastefully designed restaurant. I cant wait to go back and see what more they have to offer!
I went to Thirty 7 North for the first time over the Memorial Weekend. It was a delight. I was there early enough to still have sunlight and could enjoy looking out the large windows to see the boat slips and boat traffic on both sides of the water. The wine list is exceptional. The food was excellent as well. I would have liked an abundance of local sea food items given that the restaurant is off Shore Drive, but they did have soft shell crab for those who like them. My halibut was perfectly cooked. The server was a great guy and had been there since they opened a year ago. Very knowledgeable. I definitely will be back when business takes me to that part of Hampton Roads.
Good food, good drinks and a nice open dining area. Service was very good and the food was delicious. I look forward to eating there again.
The menu changes to reflect the local fresh ingredients of the day. The food is spectacularly prepared and presented. Nothing disappoints. The meals are awesome.
Great dinining experience - the live music was awesome and added to the experience. The food was wonderful, from appetizers to the scallops, to the skirt steak and the desserts.
We had a fantastic experience. The food was great and we really liked that the menu was accentuated by local VA fare. We also received truly exceptional service even though there were multiple other very large groups dining that night.
Mondays is a great day for 37 North. Half off wine and you have the restaurant to yourself. The menu is seasonal but the service by the servers like "Dr J" is year round. On this night we had the sausage flat bread for a first course and the flat iron steak for our second. The flat bread was flavorful and the steaks was cooked to perfection. The wine was Chataneuve-De-Pape, normally $60, but on this day, $30.
I love the art in the restaurant. The food was out of this world. It is a great place for a special occasions.
I had heard so many great things about Thirty 7 North that we had to try it. Well they were right. From our greeting when we walked in to our service which was incredible. These were only highlighted by our dishes. We had the Roasted Oysters which were the best I have ever had. They do have great seafood choices but I went with a New York Strip that was the best I have had in a very long time. We will be back soon with friends!
We started with a recommendation from the server and tried the buffalo shrimp, and the oyster rockefeller. Both were unbelievable but the oysters were over the top. Definitely the best rockefeller I have ever had. For dinner I had the Tuna and it was cooked perfectly and my wife had the tenderloin. She said it was the best steak she has had in Hampton Roads. Cooked to perfection. My wife and I love to enjoy a nice bottle of wine and we found a couple of nice bottles we typically cannot get at the local wine shops. We ended up buying a couple bottles to take home with us. We will definitely come back it was one of the best meals I have had outside of my own cooking in a long time.
Food was exceptional. Our server was vigilant, knowledgeable, and exceedingly polite.
We have been here before and enjoyed everything. The food is spectacular and menu is simple and not confusing, that we enjoy. It has just the right amount of options to please everyone in our group. The chef always has a nice special to offer or maybe we luck out each time we come. The service by the dr j was excellent as usual. We will be back again.
Our first time here, based on recommendation of neighbors. Service was excellent. The décor is upscale and very nice. Apps and entrees were beautifully presented, and generally excellent. Two items on the menu were not available. A crab cake special was offered, but disappointed. Cherry pie dessert was rather bland and without the zing typical in a cherry pie. But all-in-all a very pleasant dining experience. We will return to give them another chance to impress us.
I had a party of 16 and every single person told me how good the food was and what a great restaurant choice it was. Even when I called just hours before the reservation time - to add two more folks - they (Jay, specifically) were more than accommodating and offered me two choices of location in the restaurant. Everyone in my party had a fantastic time and loved the ambience. I will definitely use Thirty 7 North again for a corporate dining event! I plan to go back soon myself with my husband for a date night.
Great food prepared with attention to detail often forgotten in other upscale eateries! The use of sauces to enhance the excellent quality of the selected menu items lifted the experience to a higher level. Don't forget the desserts, the banana pudding was a highlight!
It takes a while for a restaurant to fine tune the kitchen but our last experience resulted in 4 very pleased diners. It had been a year since we were last there. The menu was exciting. Everyone loved their appetizers, very fresh salads and wonderful gazpacho. The entrees were selected from a nice variance in offerings, all showing imagination from the chef. It was August and therefore fresh flavorful vegetables were expected and delivered. We hope the success continues because we like the set up of the restaurant with the bar scene separated from the dining area, bring about a better conversation atmosphere. We all will go back.
The food is first rate, which- combined with airy retro decor, waterside view, and emphasis on quality ingredients (from their own farm!)- would normally earn 5 stars. The fried shrimp were HUGE: crisp outside and succulent inside. Entrees were perfect, and perfectly seasoned (so, no salt or pepper shakers). Lemon panacotta came with rich buttery shortbread and fresh berries that fizzed! Chocolate tart w/ gelato was to die for: warm dark chocolate oozed from a caramelized top and crisp pastry shell. But. Service, while pleasant and professional, was slooow. They are mingy with the breadbasket (each person got exactly one tiny muffin and slice of bread). And why no spoons on the table? Our servers had to fetch them for soup and dessert.
Thirty 7 North knows how to do it right. Our Appetizers started it off correctly, Roasted Oysters were simply the best. We also had a Tomato Salad that was incredible, I was told due to the fact that the tomatoes came from their farm. The Entrees were even better. I had the scallops which were absolutely perfect. My wife had a New York Strip which was the best we have had in Virginia Beach! We will be back soon! Great Job!
As always the food at 37 was great. The menu changes quarterly and the specials are great. For appetizers, we had the stuffed oysters and the heirloom salad. Entree, I ordered the skirt steak amd my wife had the pork that melted in your mouth. For dessert I had the bananna pudding and my wife had the pecon pie. A fabulous meal. Because it was Monday, they had half off wines, so I had an Oregon blend that was normally $60, but $30 on this night. The bottle was full bodied and delicious. As always, we asked for the server to be "Dr J". He was engaging and great.
We tried Thirty 7 North for the first time Friday night after passing this restaurant numerous times. Wow, what a surprise! The vegetables are grown on their own farm and were delicious! The food was outstanding. We will definitely be going back again very soon.
We went here for a special occasion. The food and atmosphere were great, as well as our server Kat.
Once again the fresh local foods, thanks Barry, the service, thanks Dr "J" and Jen were perfect. What more can one ask when the NY Strip is perfection, Pork is great, melt in your mouth scallops, squash fritters are wonderful, excellent mac and cheese. As expected... A restaurant with the right key people doing what they do best.
We had friends join us for dinner, the food was excellent. Beef tenderloin and bone in rib eye were perfect, the Crab cake and scallops were as tasty as it gets. One of our favorites is the buffalo bacon starter. Of course the sides were just as tasty. Thanks to the staff for wonderful service.
We had the best waiter. He was very informative and attentive. Unfortunately the kitchen can't seem to handle number of people the restaurant holds. We have had that experience before that food is very slow coming out of the kitchen. In this case we did not complain but were told our appetizers were complimentary. That was very nice and unexpected.
The food was exceptional; the service was top notch. There is nothing not to like about Thirty 7 North except for the high prices.
My "simply grilled" tuna (catch of the day) was the most perfectly prepared tuna steak in my 61 years...perfectly caramelized char marks, pink at the center, and unbelievably moist throughout. The roasted, halved, creamer potatoes and the roasted mushrooms I chose were flavorful and firm. My wife's scallops (seared on just one side) were almost dessert-like in sweetness and countered nicely by the mizuna. The cocktail menu and wine list complement the kitchen's fresh approach. Unstuffy, open, contemporary decor. Nice ambiance. The lighting above the booths along the north wall was a bit brighter than perfect and the service was charming, yet a little uneven. Thirty 7 North is at the top of my very short list of places worthy of a return.
Once again, Thirty Seven North did not disappoint. We treated good friends to dinner and they had never been to the restaurant before but certainly will return. The specials were wonderful, salads very fresh and tasty and the Black Chicken was wonderful. Can't wait to return!
The food is special, the wait staff is first rate and here's hoping they have a long run!
Appreciated the tasty amuse bouche (ham and apple with port drizzle). The fried shrimp I would not order again, (can't help compare to Steiny's where the shrimp are lighter, less heavily battered), and the bread is not tempting, but the remainder of the meal was delicious: flounder, seared tuna, chicken breast. Probably enjoyed the veggies most of all: perfectly cooked and perfectly seasoned brussel sprouts with lardons and broccoli rabe. The dessert we shared was worth every calorie: cherry and chocolate bar with coffee ice-cream and cocoa nib and granola sprinkle. Wish this restaurant had one or two lower priced dinner options (beside the $12 burger) so that I could eat here more often!
My wife and I heard lots of good things about this new restaurant and decided it was time to give it a try......we were blown away! The food was fantastic, the service was spot on and we loved the atmosphere. We found the wine list to be extensive and offered many options. My steak was cooked perfectly and my wifes fish was excellent. We will be going back soon and introducing this place to our friends!
Once again thirty 7 north did not let us down. The wife and I had a great evening and hats off to Jamie the chef and his team. We started with some oysters on the half shell they are the best in town followed up i had the flounder dish which was incredible, my wife had the scallops and they were spectacular. We had a nice bottle of wine and even bought a couple additional bottles to take home with us. Never knew we can buy from the restaurant, saved a bunch of money over total wine. We plan on bringing some out of town guests this weekend to this gem of a place.

Five Tech Tools That Produce Business
By Bridget McCrea
Today's REALTOR® has an overwhelming selection of technology tools to sift through – from social media networks and mobile applications to customer relationship management software, services, and sites, the array can be as confusing as it is endless. Already busy with the rigors of running a business, agents and brokers can quickly get swept up in the vicious circle of continually trying new tools that never live up to expectations.
To help you navigate the options and figure out which tools actually produce sales in today's competitive real estate environment, Bay State Realtor® talked to a few Massachusetts Association of REALTORS® members who are seeing real results from their technology choices. Here are five that they say are working for them:
1. Develop Branded Websites
Forget about relying solely on your broker's generic website – or one that's dedicated to your entire real estate practice – to generate business online. A better approach, according to Kate Lanagan MacGregor, is to capitalize on branded, niche-oriented sites that appeal to specific customer segments. Add designated sites for every property listing to the mix, says this brokerowner at Bold Moves Real Estate in Rochester, and you'll wind up with a comprehensive web marketing approach that works.
Recently, for example, MacGregor sold a unique and "difficult to comp" equestrian property via the dedicated site,
. Using the property's deeded pond rights as a selling point, MacGregor paddle-boarded out to the dock at sunset and shot video that she uploaded to the website. "This really set the property apart," says MacGregor, "and intrigued a buyer-to-be from as far away as California." In real estate for 10 years, MacGregor gets the word out about her branded websites by researching keywords and integrating them into the sites' content. She also promotes the sites on her LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, and other social networks.
MacGregor says the sites' videos, blogs, and live chat features all help attract visitors and keep them there to learn more about what she's selling – be it an equestrian property or a seniorfocused congregate living property (the latter of which also has its own domain and a marketing effort around keywords like "senior housing" and "independent assisted living.") "We create 'energy' around the properties or niches with these branded sites," says MacGregor. "It makes people look at our listings in a different way and want to learn more."
2. Hang Out Online With Google
The connection between online "hangouts" and sales-producing activities isn't always clear in the real estate world, but MacGregor is one agent who has discovered a viable way to drum up business using Google+ Hangouts. This free video chat service enables both group (up to 10 people at a time) and one-on-one live chats online. Unlike Skype or FaceTime, Google+ Hangouts relies on technology that allows seamless "switching" from one person to the next during the chat. The service can also be used to share documents, images, videos, and additional pieces of content with other users.
Calling Google+ Hangouts a "phenomenal, emerging tool for real estate agents," MacGregor has formed a group of people (her "board of directors," so to speak) from around the world who get together for regular, online chats. One user turns to the chat to get web marketing advice from other members while another shares her search engine optimization (SEO) secrets. "We get together and mastermind things," says MacGregor, who enjoys Google+ Hangouts' collaborative, faceto-face environment. Her business is also benefitting from the web tool: recently an agent from Martha's Vineyard reached out to MacGregor for help setting up her own Google+ Hangout.
3. Join the Facebook Frenzy
With 1.01 billion people using Facebook every month, it's no surprise that agents have gravitated toward the social networking site as a potential source of business. Angela Harkins, broker-owner at Angela Harkins & Associates Real Estate in Westford, dipped her toe in Facebook's waters a few years ago and has since made the site one of her online marketing focal points.
"I used to do a lot of mailings to clients and I've backed off to a couple a year," says Harkins, who has been in real estate for 11 years. "Now I post things on Facebook." Those posts include everything from industry news to local happenings to vegan recipes. She rounds out her social networking strategy by linking her posts to sites like LinkedIn and by posting property videos on YouTube. And while hard results are never easy to pinpoint in social networking circles, Harkin says her referral stream has increased since she moved from paper mailings to digital communications.
"It's really hard to say, 'Hey I posted something on Facebook and made a sale from it,'" says Harkins, "but when a customer mentions a vegan recipe that she saw on my Facebook wall a month earlier, I know that my efforts are working."
4. Un-tether with a Tablet Computer
Sometimes making the sale is all about being in the right place at theright time with the right technology tool. For Harkins, that tool is the iPad. She stores all of her forms on the svelte tablet and uses it both in and out of the office with applications like Docusign, PDF Expert, and DotLoop, all of which allow her to manage transactions without having to be at her desk…or near a printer, fax machine, or mailbox.
Harkins' tablet strategy paid off earlier this year when a buyer showed interest in a property, but wasn't sure if she was ready to make her purchase decision. "We found a house that she loved, but we were 45 minutes away from my office," recounts Harkins, who pulled into the nearest Starbucks, pulled up PDF Expert on her iPad, and began going over a proposed purchase and sale agreement with her client.
"She signed everything, went through the disclosures, and wrote a check for the deposit," Harkins says. "I emailed the entire package – including the signed check – to the agent while we were sitting in the coffee shop." The deal was set to close within 30 days at press time, according to Harkins.
5. Leverage Online Videos and Graphics
With his own research showing that 80% of sellers want their homes on YouTube, and with just three percent of agents actively using the site as a marketing tool, Kurt Thompson saw an opportunity to stand out from the crowd. A broker-associate with RE/MAX Property Promotions in Leominster, Thompson set up a YouTube channel to promote both active listings and successful sales. For example, a recent video headline read "SOLD! Call Kurt to list your home!"
"We're physically recording walking tours of our properties and narrating the videos ourselves," says Thompson, who has been a REALTOR® since 1997. "So far the responses to these efforts have been very favorable, particularly from our sellers." Sellers also like how Thompson and his team pull social media, graphicrich online listing data, and even classified sites like Craigslist into the mix.
Using the RealBird application, for example, Thompson distributes listing data via automatic listing syndication which, in turn, posts those listings to blogs, social networking sites, and classified sites. He says his team has converted several sales using this approach.
"The biggest impact we're having is on sellers who see that we're using YouTube, virtual tours, and social media to engage with the market and get homes sold," Thompson says. "They see that we're staying ahead of the game when it comes to marketing properties."
Harkins cautions agents and brokers not to be too quick to dive in every time a new application, software offering, or piece of equipment hits the market.
"Pick one tool and learn it well before moving onto the next opportunity," says Harkins, who sees seminars and workshops as good learning opportunities for REALTORS®. "By using a calculated, planned approach, you'll be able to get the most out of your time and money investment."

A Mecho Wars review by Appvee.com Mecho Wars is a turned-based strategy game for the iPhone and iPod Touch developed by Oyaji games that emulates some of the best features of other games in the genre and brings some new ones to the table. Users who have ever played the popular turn-based game Advanced Wars for the Nintendo Gameboy Advance will instantly realize the similarities. This is a good thing as Advanced Wars was an excellent game. Mechanics such as different units and counters, bases to control and animated battle scenes have all made their way to this app. Players must create different units and try to overwhelm their opponents and eventually take over the enemy bases. Tapping on a unit will move that unit and then offer options on whether that unit can attack, capture or just stay. Along with these standard features come some new ones that change how the game can be played. A day and night system has been implemented. When the clock strikes 1:00am, all the water in the l...

These mass immunization campaigns, have taken place across large swathes of northern Uganda, southern Sudan and the east of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), countries which make up part of what is traditionally known as the "meningitis belt," which stretches from Senegal in the west of Africa to Ethiopia in the east. The total population at risk in these countries is around 300 million. Without treatment, bacterial meningitis kills up to 50 percent of those infected. Even if the disease is diagnosed early and treated with appropriate antibiotics, the case fatality rate remains five to ten percent. As many as one out of five survivors will suffer from neurological after-effects such as deafness or mental retardation. In southern Sudan, MSF is currently in the process of vaccinating a further 528,000 people, mostly under the age of 30, bringing the total number vaccinated to over one million. The latest round of vaccinations includes around 160,000 people in Juba, the capital of southern Sudan and over a quarter of a million in the north of Bahr-el-Ghazal state. In addition to the planned vaccination of a further 600 000 people in the West African state of Burkina Faso, assessments are being carried out in a number of areas and teams are on alert in other countries where outbreaks are feared. In addition to the vaccinations, MSF is also supporting efforts to treat people who have contracted the meningitis as well as conduct epidemiological surveillance.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), in southern Sudan alone, nearly 200 people have died as a result of meningitis and the disease has already hit eight states, in comparison to only four during the outbreak of 2006. A risk assessment carried out by the WHO identified several factors indicating that a widespread epidemic could occur in 2007 and 2008. In the mid- to late-1990s, waves of epidemics affected several countries in the meningitis belt, causing upwards of 25,000 deaths in three years. Yet today, there are just 25 million doses of A/C vaccine—the A strain being the most common cause of epidemics—available worldwide, of which only 11 million doses have been reserved for epidemic responses. The future prospects for replenishing the supply are bleak. In May, Sanofi-Pasteur, the sole provider of the A/C vaccine, announced that it was transferring its production to another site. As a result, there will be no capacity to produce additional vaccines this year. This is extremely worrying given that in Nigeria in 1996 more than 13 million people had to be vaccinated over the course of that epidemic. |

The first inspection of the desk. This was so important for us, some times I forgot to take pictures for the buildlog. Here are the first issues I walked into, we're human too (All these things have been changed in the new design) Again this is a real old design of the legs, still had to test some stuff for the acrylic. A weld at the top of the desk .. oops, the cover wont fit like this.. And a funny one .. the holes and grommets for tube or fillports to big. This should have been changed but slipped through. Without a grommet the fillports fall through. I'll find something on that for now. Also a funny one, after assembling the supports they aren't horizontal. PSU mount fits almost every PSU ... except this one . HDD trays really look good, personally won't use them in this build. When I removed them.. oops .. no covers. Also raised all fan/rad holes, more space for cable management. And me as the only European in the team. Off course the other side of PSU plug fits, but for in case people want to have their power socket inside. Sometimes pretty exhausting... "what if they"... Personally going to use these instead of the PSU mount. Less noise and easy to move. We will supply these too. Inspecting the desk, best is to just start building a pc inside. So lets start with the fans and rads. For this setup I needed over 160 bolts and nuts Back rads. Side rads. Lighting not overdone, I like the Cooler Master fans. Another way to feed your PC. Lets take care of some working light And installing some grommets. Here I was still planning to do a single pc build, still had all the space for 2 fan controllers. Pump controller from previous project for the looks Rads seem to be brown with flasher on. Had a spare fanguards, might be nice to keep it there. This is something I'm REALLY happy with in the design. In my previous desk it took me dozens of hours cause I didn't have this. The first cables. The bridge also has mounting options for 12x2.5" HDD/SSD. Personally I'm not going to hide them. And the rubbertape for under the glass panel that will be used to protect from scratching, breaking and noise.
Mounting blocks ... love it! First the mainboard. And the cards on it for a picture.. Added some extensions. Glad I took time to test the hardware in front Ordered an EK-Bridge for the GPU's Never used them before. I like it. Cut out the grommets. And put them backwards in the 'firewall' Seems the BP fillports stay in place perfectly now. In the new design the holes and grommets have been changed. First fittings in place. The mess. Might be an idea for a drainpoint in the bottom later. Another funny thing ..... Glad this will be solved with the rubbertape under the glasspanel. First cables and extensions. Flipped all fans from rear radiators. (again 64 bolts...) Did this so the airflow from the fans work with the PSU flow. 3M Velcro for the RGB controller Found her spot Feeds for the fancontroller and pump on their spots Powersocket for 2 PSU's, screens and speakerset. Adjusted the cable length. RGP plug brought to other side of desk too. Preview with 'PSU-cover' A solution for the missing HDD-bay covers .. and a nice spot for the ssd's since I'll be using the other side of the desk for another pc now. Simple .. But effective
And another update with quite some photos Unpacked the reservoirs and put them on their spot. Also some more changes in the prototype .. more grommets for itx and m-atx. Starts to look like something. Also cut the heatfins again. I personally like it. Also an idea for the speakers. I know speakers should be positioned in front but tested it and I don't notice it Coincidence the finish of the sub is exactly the same as the desk powdercoating. First some extra holes for the fan/pump controller. Next prototype will have some mainboard grommets there. Glad those trays are aluminum Building in the speakers. There won't be any cable visible from the speakerset when I hide the sub + all cables in the legs. Measuring. Adjusting the speakers for long M4's And finishing it. Too bad the cone is blue, anyone any idea if cones are paintable? A solution so the fancontroller and RGB controller are ALWAYS on, no matter if there's one or two pc's running Works perfectly Extra power/reset buttons. Next proto there will probably be a bracket here. Also finished the holes for pump/fan cables. For this build I will seal the unused 5.25" slots. Next proto this will be different. The glue will be transparent when dried. Cut away some in the grommets, looks better. And some further again. Still in love with the bottom mainboard covers Time to move on with all sata cables. Also found out I didn't have sata extension cables yet for the right system. So ordered them too. For the SSD rack I will use cheap Velcro, I would damage the SSD's with 3M velcro when removing them Works perfect. Because we didn't have PCI-covers yet I ordered these. Because I chose real thick radiators because I thought I was going to do a single pc build I'm having small problems finding a spot for the second PSU. Sleeving the yellow sata extension cables Lets first use some black isolation tape. Even if you only see 3cm .. .yellow .. no way Also used the rubbers for the second PSU. Lovely music while modding Securing the pumps. Tube ready to go, first fittings find their spot. Had to remove mem again, quite narrow to get the fittings in properly And a little further again. Ok ... and then 11 days ago Asus requested if they could show 'Cross' on the Dutch Firstlook 2012 Event... not as a desk but built in their stand. Off course, I was so honored! This only happens once a year! And ... if I could built in the Maximus V Formula.... I did agree off course, been some real busy days the last week. So at this moment I'm a bit behind on the log, so some photos could show up but will make this up this week! For who does have pictures .. please hide them for a while (I did ask them to step away )
Looks awesome as always. I would not recomend painting the speaker cones, as it will affect the sound quality. Unless of course, that looks are all that matters for the build.
Okay, once this frigging crazy awesome system is completed you are going to ship it too me........Yessssssss you are..........you must............ Just frigging awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is just insane I am amazed (even still after you other builds) of the detail level and ingenuity SUB'D
i know that "Desktop" Computer will rarely heat up as bad as most machines due to the space its encased in, but thing is how easy will it be to keep it dust free?
Well I guess like any other pc, just undust it every once a while or use dustfilters on your fans This week 2-3 updates Because the desk had to be running and presentable I still needed some things quickly. Because of the 4 reservoirs and 2 systems I needed more tube and stopfittings. Thanks again for the nice discount Freddy! And from Mayhems. And something I had here already a while to flush my other desk, that'll have to wait Love experimenting. Gotcha! Thanks for all the support Michael! Also needed for the second pc, again Bitfenix extensions. And something new I got from EK. My first CSQ design block. Again thanks a lot Eddy en Gregor! The package I got 3 days before the event. Very nice and complete package. Ready to swap. I do like it. Rogier .. TOP! Tomorrow another update with tubing and filling.
Except you forgot that l3p started from scratch with his builds and he EARNED the sponsorships, he literally crafts wonders and I am strongly convinced that many can't reproduce his level of craftsmanship. His attention to details and unique touches like the Corsair SSD rack or utilizing original pieces of the Mars II cooler on the custom waterblock make his build above top notch.
Quite a puzzle with what I wanted with the in and outlets of the multi reservoirs and both loops mirrored. It became a multireservoir extreme Measuring the reservoir brackets. Going to have the tubes to the pump of the left loop in the bottom. Again happy this part is aluminum. Done! And the first tubes. Also quite a puzzle again with all the small distances. Pump for the left loop. Might change this later.. Mainboard done, reservoirs next. With flasher. Left loop with flasher. And just the RGB LEDs Exiting for me .. first time filling. And another adrenaline moment for me, first time enabling the pump. Also need to find another solution for this, now that i'm running 2 pc's I don't need the long sata cable lengths to the raidcard. Maybe will order other cables later. Great feeling when you don't have any leaks. The Mayhems Pastel and red dye additives. I was warned this could fail with such a big loop Here I forgot to close one stopfitting after disabling the pump... Glad is was easy to clean Adding the Aurora, it was a bit scary at the start. But got the result I wanted one minute later. Another exiting moment.... But it boots with the desired temperatures And a video of the loop, filling and mixing. Got the Maximus V Formula in. Only one day to go, so started right away on the second loop. Meanwhile testing and installing the left system. Raw fingers of all that tube Again exiting.. This time premixed before filling. Mayhems Aurora, cool stuff But also creepy. Both loops running. Because there's a team of helpers ready to get the desk one floor down.. quickly close the panels without any management. Ready to go! Later today the migration.
20 hours before I bring the desk to the event Small reminder all photos are linked to bigger format photos You can see on the face expression who's stressed At the right the remains of the little 'incident'. A filled pc with a length of 1.50m and 80kg that has to go downstairs almost vertically. My wife taking pics and most of all ... paying attention I don't scratch the wall The fun they had..... Being relieved. Temporary on a wooden box so I can do the last adjustments, cable management and installing OS+drivers+software etc. The rubbertape I used for sound attenuation and protecting the glass panel. Also filed the weld so the cover fits. With glass panel. This was a weird moment for me ..... "Desk ... I am your father"
Firstlook 2012! It took me 2 weeks to prepare everything for just a 2 day event including taking 3 days off from work .... Well in my opinion it was completely worth it! Ready to go! The Friday night before the event. Inspecting the booth.. oops .. I didn't expect the front side wouldn't be able to show. Too bad .. too late to change, this way they can't touch any of the buttons. The first "wtf's" from the ASUS crew Last minute adjustments so the glass panel will be flush. Really cool experience, the constructing of an event, 1 big pile of ants Checking if everything still works. All just fine Also finding a spot for something from a previous project. On top was no option cause of bending the glass shelf This is how I had to leave it behind. Believe me, this was pretty scary.. Till tomorrow morning! Quickly getting everything running 15 minutes before the doors open up. The relaxed overclockers 'Old Scarface' en 'Leeghoofd' also at the booth. Here some shots of the event itself, made by my brother in law, still nice and empty Everyone getting instructions Doors are open and first people get in. ASUS booth still pretty quiet. Our little corner Fun to see from that close. Honored this could also be at the booth. And some shots of the built-in desk now that it's still quiet. First thing they run off to .. Black Ops II stand ... yup .. 100% gamer event Really enjoyed the OC sessions! Cards were gone within half an hour :/ For who wants to see more boothbabes .. check here Ok .. here it was too crowded for me Highres picture of all the interest for the desk. Playing with Nitrogen Here a small video of the desk 5 minutes before closing time. The result .... I hate fingerprints Astonished how the got the stand 'hardware-less' within 10 minutes. And back home. ASUS Benelux, a huge thanks for this opportunity, it really was a great experience! For now a small break, need to save up some money and and saw in some stuff in the desk
Nice pics, and I see a bag from a store with "7 certainties", lol (the yellow Jumbo bag). A future sponsor? I cannot click on a thanks button, unfortunately (the thank-spamming prevention has kicked in).

Ages Under 45
Beautiful Article about Marriage
There was a discussion of this article in the Single Life Forum and it was suggested it should be reposted in the under 45 forum:
I think this article is a great testimony to the sacrament of marriage and how fulfilling it can be if we trust in God's plan for us and wait until we are married to have sex.
As a social worker, I've seen many persons( mostly women) who regretted having sex with their boyfriends because they were dumped and thrown away like used goods after having sex. Some of these women carry deep psychological and emotional scars that can take years to heal.
Kudos to the writer for putting his message of celibacy/abstinence out there. It seems that God has blessed the author and his wife for their faithfulness in living a celibate life while single with a beautiful marriage. I pray for the Lord's continued blessing on their marriage.
"Oops."Did I just make a "judgment?" You're darn right I did.".......love it
"Oops."Did I just make a "judgment?" You're darn right I did.".......love it
Loved that line as well. :) But I can be a little bit of a smart-aleck. lol

This set is sooooooooo gorgeous and comfortable too!! I ordered the fuchsia one and I love it so much that I had to order the blue one...hope it gets here soon! I will be travelling a lot this fall and this will be great for packing and so easy to take care of. My husband loves this outfit and I have received many compliments on it. A great buy for a two piece set!!
Marallis has another hit!
By Grandma Sandee
from London, Ontario
I was so excited when My top and capris arrived! I got the fuchsia and I am thrilled with the fit and colour. The material is lovely and so soft.
Marallis Fashions
By AL
from Fenelon Falls, Ontario
I have received so many compliments since I started wearing Marallis Fashions. They fit well and are very comfortable. I would definitely recommend Marallis and the Shopping Channel.
Great Buy
By compulsive shopper
from Edmonton
I already had the fuchsia set and wrote a review about that. I then decided to get a second set and chose the royal blue. The top is great in lovely colors including yellow and green. Again I had the pants tailored and the slits removed and shortened which I find a better length as I am only 5 foot three.

Great Summer Basic
By SAUVY SHOPPER
from BRITISH COLUMBIA
My mom and I both ordered this outfit. It's a great basic and the pants can be worn with many different tops.We found the top to be too long, so we had them shortened.Great value, great outfit!

Really nice set
By Sis.
from SASKATCHEWAN
I ordered this set in chocolate. It is true to size, really slinky and comfy. The only thing is that there is not the same brown color in the top as the brown in the pants. So it does not really look like a set. Still giving 5 stars though. It's well proportioned and well made. Will probably pick up a couple more.
lovely outfit!
By Annie
from Wasaga Beach (ON)
Love this outfit, great colours, good fit and slinky!
excellent buy
I ordered this outfit in the fuschia and I know I will find lots of tops to wear with these capris.I found the capris a bit long and so I had them tailored and shortened, taking out the slits. I am a plus sized senior and feel I will get a lot of wear from these two pieces.... and at such a great price.

great paisley print
By longtime shopper
from BC
Love paisley and ordered the black/white/taupe paisley print. Top is item I wanted and the crops were a bonus. I always order size up on fabric such as this. Appreciate that garments arrived on hangers - not just folded in a plastic bag.
( 2 of 5 customers found this review helpful)
By Sandra
from Burlington
Firstly the sizing is off. Secondly the pants are not very flattering for the legs or ankles. It is a nice outfit but for these two reasons I only gave it 3 stars and now have to pay for return shipping. The pants could be corrected by taking them to a dressmaker.

OK, had this one tonight and we were both very happy with it. Pulled the basic recipe from here, and made a couple of revisions (in red): Yield: 4-6 servings Ingredients: 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter 1 onion, chopped 1 large bunch broccoli (about 14 ounces, fresh) 4 cups chicken broth 1 cup cream 1/2 cup white wine 1/4 cup cornstarch 1/4 teaspoon black pepper 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder 12-16 ounces Cheddar, grated salt, to taste (at least 1 teaspoon!) Instructions: 1. In large stock pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion and cook and stir until onion is tender. 2. Wash and trim ends of broccoli and then chop broccoli (including stems). Add broccoli and chicken broth to pot. Cover and bring to a boil. Simmer until broccoli is tender, about 10-15 minutes. 3. In a small bowl, whisk together the milk, cornstarch, pepper, and garlic salt. Add to boiling broccoli mixture, stirring until thickened, about 3-5 minutes. 4. Reduce heat to low-medium low and stir in cheese until melted. Add salt to taste (important!). |

Geez, javal, this cooking thing is taking over. Next time I see you I'll expect to see a healthy blimp. Will try the recipe, but Dear One requires more than soup. She is a professional eater and feeding her is a challenge. On the other hand, she had to go out and buy some size 8s because the 10s weren't working well. She's in training for a cruise next month. Just the girls. Diminishing returns? |

Next time I see you I'll expect to see a healthy blimp. LOL Ole. Actually the net result of this cooking binge so far has only been a gain of 2 pds. Well worth it. Eight months before you and I met, I weighed 238 pds. The day we met I was 168 pds. Once I found losing weight was so easy, I wasn't afraid to gain it again. So now I'm at 170 and I can live with that if it means a new, fun hobby like this cooking thing! |

Plays hob with clothing budget, dont it? Am struggling to stay away from that 200 pound mark. When I was your age, I was considerably trimmer; like 165 and wearing pants with a 32" waist. This aging thing is not all it's cracked up to be. |

Javal, Great recipe, nice soup. Also good when you use cauliflower instead of broccoli and blue cheese instead of cheddar. (not so much salt needed when using blue cheese) |

Fedreb - funny you mention that since the first words out of my mouth after eating this were "ya' know, this would be great with cauliflower too". As for the blue cheese, I like the idea, but being as rural as we are, I can't find any without making a 100 mile round trip. I could order it on the web, but shipping charges on food products are usually outrageous. Did you use cauliflower with the blue cheese? If so, didn't the cheese flavor take over the dish? Glad you liked it. |

Javal, Yes I do use blue cheese with cauliflower but not in great quantities, just add to your own taste. I don't think I could live 50 mile from blue cheese. It is one of my favourite indulgences. |

It was a dark and stormy day...
31 March 2006
It was a dark and stormy day. A flood of biblical proportions was upon us, with the ground soft and wet like an overcooked marshmallow. "Crikey!" I said as the leaf truck sunk down to the side steps. "We're bogged!"
A tear formed in the corner of my eye as I rolled my ankle exiting the vehicle. "Grab that rope Steven, we are going to have to winch this baby out of here."
We soon found ourselves in a very sticky situation; the truck full of leaf was sitting in the hot sun and we had no water to hose it down with; this was making the leaf wilt at an alarming rate. If we left it too long, the koalas back at the Zoo would be having their leaves crispy - certainly not their favourite dish!
"This tree looks like a good one," Steven said, as he connected the winch to a great big one.
"This will get the arms going," I said as I began winching. Two hours in and not much progress, we decided to report back to the Zoo. We hoped to get another vehicle to rendezvous at alpha bravo to retrieve the leaf we had cut for the koalas, which was now drying out like the sands of the Nullabor plain. Three and a half hours from the point where we sunk in the mud like a badly cooked sponge cake, Tash had arrived to pick up the leaf, only to find she too had gotten bogged. Like a ferret in a rat wheel, she was going nowhere.
"Crikey! Not another vehicle bogged," Steven said, seconds before he tripped and fell face-first in the mud only to replace himself in an upright position. Unfortunately for him, he was now looking like some sort of mud rat.
Now we had to set our priorities straight. The koala leaf was by far the most important thing, and due to the fact that the leafy was stuck in the mud like gum to a blanket and wasn't going too far too soon, we decided to try and release the newcomer from the bogie lagoon. What followed was twenty minutes of winching and forty minutes of moving leaf from one vehicle to the other! The troop carrier, now full of leaf, was ready and equipped for departure. So all three of us squeezed into the troopy, and feeling like some sort of tightly packed sushi roll, we commenced our journey back to the Zoo, leaving the leafy in the bog.
"It will be the talk of the Zoo," Steven and I said simultaneously as we entered the Zoo grounds. And too right, it was!
It became apparent that everyone knew as we waddled up to the store to find another means of getting the leafy out. Both feeling very tired and running out of the elbow grease which was much needed to continue our winching efforts, we heard amongst the employees "Little bit bogged, hey boys?", "How did you get bogged?", "Is it out yet?" - all very helpful questions, I might add. After consulting with some other staff for a while we teed up another two boys to come out and help. After a further two hours or so of winching and towing, we were finally on our way.
All in all, we got bogged at around 9:00am and didn't get the leafy out of the mud until around 6:00pm. Nine hours in the mud was a big day, but there's never too much we can do to supply our furry little friends with the most succulent leaf possible!

Koalas vary in size and colour depending on where they live in Australia. Koalas found in the southern distributions (Southern NSW and Victoria) tend to be ...more
