Sleep Disorders
Sleep Paralysis
I wonder if you could give me some help on this situation. I am a 60 yr old lady and suffer with fibromyalgia, osteoarthritis, and maybe am quite an anxious person. Over the last few years I have suffered with a horrid sleep paralysis. It is always in the morning and I am aware that I am awake, but cannot move my body or open my eyes. I am awake and I feel that if I do not force my eyes open and move i will die. (This sounds stupid, doesn`t it?) My body wants to drift off into sleep and I fight to open my eyes because if I don`t fall asleep, but I always manage to force my eyes open and then after that can go back to sleep quite peacefully. I am very aware that it has happened and dread it happening again the next night, but it doesn`t. Maybe a few weeks or months will pass before it does again. Can you help with this please?
Your symptoms sound very real and emphasize just how disturbing sleep paralysis can be to those who experience it. Fortunately, while it is quite scary and disturbing, sleep paralysis is not dangerous.
Sleep paralysis is usually described as the inability to perform voluntary movements either at sleep onset or upon awakening. Individuals often report an inability to speak or move the limbs, trunk or head.
While breathing is actually not affected, the sensation of not being able to breath can accompany the paralysis and can be quite scary. Most individuals will recall the events. The episodes usually only last for seconds up to a few minutes and tend to resolve on their own. Occasionally, the episode will end if the person is touched or spoken to.
Episodes of sleep paralysis can be very anxiety producing. In addition to the sensation of an inability to breathe as noted above, hallucinations, whether hearing or seeing things that are not present, can accompany the event. All-in-all, the experience can be somewhat frightening. Sleep paralysis can be brought on by lack of adequate sleep, keeping an irregular sleep schedule and being under excessive stress. While most of the time sleep paralysis is not associated with other medical conditions, it can be one of the signs of narcolepsy (individuals with this condition are also very sleepy).
Sleep paralysis usually first appears in young adults and tends to disappear with aging. Surprisingly, up to 15-40% of young adults experience this at least once in their lifetime and as many as 5-6% have this occur recurrently. Other than reassurance and avoiding situations that may bring on the episodes, no treatment is needed in most cases.
Other medical conditions that can appear with similar symptoms to sleep paralysis include compressed nerves, cataplexy (sudden loss of muscle control in emotionally charged situations such as laughing), seizures, and panic attacks. Most of these conditions can be separated from sleep paralysis by specific factors from the medical history.
The fact that your sleep paralysis symptoms started late in life is somewhat unusual. A proper evaluation is important and I would encourage you to see your physician about this symptom. They can then decide if referral to a Sleep Specialist is needed for further evaluation. In the meantime, getting adequate regular sleep and avoiding stress may help to reduce the frequency that you have the symptoms.

I have seen the mad new poets who are drunk on language, aware of critical approaches, ready for fun and sly about their gravitas. The Carrboro International Poetry Festival had a great helping of smart new edgy poetry. Poetry informed by performance, by l*a*n*g*u*a*g*e, poetry that rejects quietude, defies therapy, recognizes displacement, questions syntax, poetry that can be sarcastic and deep at the same time, poetry full of noise and full of fun.
The audio will be online at the Festival site soon.

It was a good idea in 2009 when Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa first proposed privatizing the Los Angeles Zoo. Two and a half years later — with the zoo being slowly strangled by budget cuts — it's time to make this idea a reality.
On Friday the City Council will decide whether to solicit bids from private groups to take over management of the publicly owned zoo. City labor unions are predictably fighting zoo privatization and lobbying hard to block the bid from going out.
City Council members must not let labor's self-preservation strategy doom the zoo to a future of meager funds and devastating cuts. Free the zoo. Privatize it.
Los Angeles is actually late to the zoo privatization trend. Half of the nation's 144 accredited zoos are run privately, and eight publicly owned zoos and aquariums have been turned over to private operators in the last decade.
There's a common reason for the shift — private enterprises have the flexibility, fundraising prowess and entrepreneurship to better manage zoos, in ways cash-strapped governments do not.
The Los Angeles Zoo is currently operated as a city department, and it has experienced the same cuts and brain drain as other departments over the last few years. Last year, there were 229 jobs at the zoo — the lowest number of positions in 10 years. And the zoo's budget is smaller than it was in 2005, despite opening several major exhibits.
The zoo operating budget is $26 million, but escalating costs will push that to $33.7million in five years — and the city won't likely have the money to increase zoo funding. That will mean more cuts.
Privatizing the zoo will save the city $20million over five years in labor and administrative costs. That's $20 million that could and should go toward essential city services, such as police response, fire protection and infrastructure maintenance.
Freeing the zoo from bureaucratic constraints and pricey labor contracts will allow zoo managers to do more with the limited budget. As an added bonus, zoos that have made the transition from public to private have reported much greater success raising money from donors and corporate sponsorships.
A privately managed zoo wouldn't sever city ties altogether. L.A. will still own the animals and provide a flat annual subsidy. There will still be a zoo commission to weigh in on zoo policy issues. But, private management would be free to set the zoo budget, fundraise, contract for services, change business practices and hire a cheaper workforce to save money.
And that's where the opposition comes in.
The Coalition of L.A. City Unions has sent letters and lobbied the City Council to block the privatization scheme, which would guarantee no layoffs or pay cuts for current city employees. But plumbers, gardeners and maintenance workers could be moved to other city jobs and replaced with cheaper, nonunion labor. And new hires would likely receive lower pay and a less generous retirement plan than existing employees.
The concerns of zoo workers are certainly valid, but they shouldn't supercede the need for a well-funded, better managed zoo. The city needs to get out of the animal-keeping business and hand this institution over to a private operator who can ensure the Los Angeles Zoo survives and thrives for years to come.

Prospectus Today
Five Days in Phoenix
Five days in Phoenix would have been a lot more enjoyable if MLB hadn't gutted the Arizona Fall League schedule. No night games, no Sunday games, and no doubleheaders meant that I saw just three games in five days, as opposed to the five games in three days I saw during 2002's trip.
Nevertheless, the visit to Arizona was enjoyable, not least because I was again a part of Baseball HQ's First Pitch Arizona. Ron Shandler puts on a great program for fantasy players, more than 100 of whom were treated to analysis and opinion from John Sickels, Rob Neyer, Brent Strom, Rany Jazayerli, Jim Callis, David Rawnsley and a host of HQ's own experts.

Remagen, Germany, 2010/02/02 - Company can provide SCPC, iDirect & LinkStar Services from European and Hong Kong Teleports - atrexx.com.
atrexx, a specialist provider of telecommunications and broadcast solutions, is offering to restore the services of IS-4 customers after the satellite experienced an anomaly resulting in the switching off of the communication payload to conserve battery power. Intelsat is working to resolve the problem.
The anomaly occurred at approximately 00.18 GMT on 1 February 2010 in the Satellite Central Processing (SCP) unit. This unit is the redundant SCP that has been in operation since 1998 when the primary SCP failed. Intelsat is working to re-start both primary and redundant SCPs but without success so far. Boeing, the manufacturer of IS-4, is currently assessing whether there is any correlation between the failure of the primary SCP and redundant SCP. If the failure has a similar signature, it could be unlikely that the satellite will be recovered. The satellite is due to reach its end-of-life this year, and Intelsat has already planned a replacement to take over services.
In the interim, atrexx is offering customers affected by the anomaly the opportunity for quick recovery of services. The IS-4 footprint is widespread, covering a vast area from Europe to Africa to India and the Far East.
This satellite was previously a PanAmSat spacecraft, and very specific in its coverage said Jean-Claude Bisenius, Managing Director of atrexx. There are some regions that were receiving services from IS-4 that will be unable to recover them using a single antenna. To do this will require multiple antennas and perhaps multiple satellites.
atrexx (atrexx.com) is currently working to restore services to their affected customers from the Aflenz Teleport in Austria, where the company has uplinked to the IS-4 satellite. atrexx can therefore provide the same solutions for any additional customers that have been hit. atrexx can provide a fast switchover for IS-4 customers with a smooth transition due to Force Majeure, where both parties are free from their contractual obligations.
We can offer those customers presently without connectivity the opportunity to retrieve their SCPC, iDirect and LinkStar services through one of the largest European teleports with more than 40 available antennas continued Mr. Bisenius. We acknowledge that discontinuation of satellite connectivity is an inconvenience, and we would like to assure customers that we will facilitate a speedy restoration of service with the continued support of atrexx professionals. We look forward to assisting those customers that require our services.

I am 5 ft 3, weight 105 pounds and am currently a B cup size. My surgeon has reccommended 200 cc implants which he says will take me to a C/D cup size. I have read that roughly 175-200 CC is equal to 1 cup size, and have seen many before and after pictures, where at least 300cc is needed to take someone from a B cup size to a C cup size. I understand that everyone is different shapes, but will 200cc make much difference. I am also having a breast lift.

Augmentation Size - What Will Work For Me?
Thank you for the question and picture. Despite your good description of your body type and goals, online consultants will not be of specific enough help to you. Generally speaking, the best online advice I can give to ladies who are considering breast augmentation surgery ( regarding breast implant size/profile selection) is:
1. Concentrate on choosing your plastic surgeon carefully. Concentrate on appropriate training, certification, and the ability of the plastic surgeon to achieve the results you're looking for. Ask to see lots of examples of his/her work.
2. Have a full discussion and communication regarding your desired goals with your plastic surgeon. This communication will be critical in determining breast implant size/type/profile will most likely help achieve your goals.
In my practice, the use of photographs of "goal" pictures (and breasts that are too big or too small) is very helpful. I have found that the use of words such as "natural" or "C or D cup" etc means different things to different people and therefore prove unhelpful.
Also, as you know, cup size varies depending on him who makes the bra; therefore, discussing desired cup size may also be inaccurate.
The use of computer imaging technology may also be very helpful during this communication process.
3. Once you feel you have communicated your goals clearly, allow your plastic surgeon to use his/her years of experience/judgment to choose the breast implant size/profile that will best meet your goals. Again, in my practice, this decision is usually made during surgery.
I hope this (and the attached link) help.

What size implants should you choose?
It is difficult to say if this size will take you from a B cup to a full C cup. First of all, bra makers are very different and a C cup at Macy's is different than a C cup at Victoria's Secret. Also, cup sizes are different depending on what size around you are - a 40 C is bigger than a 32 C. So 200 cc may be what you need even though you are looking at pictures where other women used bigger implants.
There are a couple ways to figure out what implants look right for you - trying them on in the office, using rice in ziplock bags in your bra, or 3-D imaging to simulate your breasts with different size implants. Good luck!
Implant sizes are best decided while trying them on.
Implant sizes are best decided while trying them on. You can do this at your consultation. You have to see which you feel most comfortable with. It is hard to tell over the internet without photos.

Breast Augmentation - How big will implant make me ?
Hello and thank you for the question.
This is a difficult question to answer with any accuracy without having the benefit of examining you first hand, especially since you are undergoing a concomitant breast lift. In itself, a breast lift, if substantial, will make your breasts appear smaller just by virtue of the fact that excess skin is being excised and the breast mound is reshaped to provide a more youthful appearance. The ideal implant size for your body will be definitively determined by several factors, including and notably dimensions of your chest and quality of your soft-tissue. The ideal implant size will best be determined following your surgeon's evaluation of you followed by a thorough discussion of your desired surgical outcome.

Augmentation size - what will work for you
You must try on implants of various sizes in front of the mirror to see what looks good to you. Your surgeon will help you out with this.
Do not try to choose a size based on pictures or experiences of other people.
An implant of a given size looks different on every individual.
Good luck!

How to pick breast implants.
How to pick breast implant sizes
Article by George J. Beraka, MD
Manhattan Plastic Surgeon
1) This is the most common type of question on RealSelf.
2) It is the surgeon's job to pick the right breast implants, not the patient's. Implant selection is really pretty technical.
3) Make sure your surgeon REALLY understands the look you want. Mentioning a cup size is not enough. Show your surgeon pictures of breasts you like.
4) Then your surgeon has to tell you if your chosen look is realistic for your anatomy. The most common mistake is to go too big.
5) I recommend that the surgeon NOT make a final implant choice in advance, because this is just an educated guess.
6) The surgeon should have a large inventory of different size and shape implants available in the operating room.
7) Then the surgeon can put sterile disposable implant SIZERS in your breasts during surgery, to see what a particular implant really looks like inside you. This is how to make the best choice. A sizer costs only $45, and takes all the guess work out.
8) Finally, the sizer is discarded, and the correct breast implants (based on what you want and on your anatomy) are opened from the operating roon inventory, and put in your breasts to complete the operation.
Sizing for Augmentation
I feel that you are the best person to determine the right size implant for you. For many years I have had patients "try on implants" with my input. Although it is not scientific, this methos has resulted in a very small number of exchanges for a different size over the years.
Choosing breast implants
You can't choose an implant by a desired cup size or just by volume of the implant. You need an experienced surgeon who has done this for many years who will listen to what "look" you want and help choose the implant to get close. A 200 won't make you a D however.
Breast Augmentation - What size is right for me?
This is the most importnt question that a patient interest in Breast Augmentation should ask. In two large series, the reoperation rate for size was almost 25%. How do I help women choose their size? First I try to understand their goals and what size they want to be after surgery. Then I make apprpriate measurements and particularly measure what your chest circumferential measurement is. If it is 32 inches, we put on a soft 32 bra and use implant sizers in a bra to look and see what additional volume woould relatively look like on you. I use this as an educational process. It give me an idea what the person thinks a "c" is. I take a photo of the appearance of what the goal is, then in the operating room, I use intraoperative sizers to see what size implant it takes to get that look.
Good Luck

The Vatican took the unusual step of commissioning the surveys ahead of a major meeting of bishops that Pope Francis has called for October to discuss the family.
This week, German and Swiss bishops reported the results. They were surprising in the near-uniformity of responses that the church's teachings on sexuality, morality and marriage are rejected as unrealistic and outdated by the vast majority of Catholics who nevertheless are active in parish life and consider their faith vitally important.
Also surprising was the eagerness with which the bishops publicized the results.
Despite the findings, moral theologians warned that church doctrine won't change.

Hi People,
Firstly, I'm new to AI and may get some terminology wrong here so please bear with me.
I've written (well, followed an algorithm description really) a solution to the Travelling Tournament problem using a simulated annealing algorithm. This works well for producing a balanced Round-robin schema with an acceptable number of breaks.
However, as a pool player it occured to me that there was a situation not covered by the standard algorithm. That is, coping with two teams playing out of the same venue (or on the same pool table, in the case of the pool league).
In this situation I have to ensure that when one team is playing at home, its sister team is playing away. The problem is further exacerbated by the fact that one team may play in division 1 while the other team plays in division 2. Imagine further, if you will, that there's a third division, 2 more teams playing out of the same venue and that one plays in division 3 and the other in division 2.
So we now have division 2 containing 2 teams that must play away while their sister team plays at home.
My algorithm starts with a feasible schedule, generated programatically, and moves from one feasible schedule to the next until an optimum solution is found. However, with this new rule, I'm having trouble generating a feasible schedule to start with (I've been testing with 2 divisions of 4 teams and half of each division twinned with half the other division).
Is there anyone out there who's addressed this problem and can point me in the right direction?
Cheers Rob
PS. If you need more details, just post here and I'll provide them.
I have no idea about pool leagues, but in football (soccer for americans) leagues usually have each team play each other twice, one at home one away.
Generate the matchups randomly for the first weekend. For each team playing at home, check if its sister team plays away, and switch the sister team's matchup so they do. Generate the next weekend. Rinse and repeat. There's probably a number of adjustments you need to make to even out the spread of home / away games for each team, but gut feeling tells me this is separate from the sister team issue.
I don't think you can do this for 3 teams sharing the same venue, since all teams must play 50% of games at home.
All in all I think I have completely misunderstood your problem, or that I just lack data. Or maybe my approach just doesn't work... Never hurts to try thou.
Cheers for the response Jare,
You've not misunderstood the problem. However, you've gone along a route I've already looked at and there are certain situations when this doesn't work. Namely, that by ensuring that one pair of teams always have opposite games, it's possible to break the rule for another pair of teams. In order to resolve this you need to swap the home away flag for that other team which may break another pairing, triggering another swap, etc.
This in itself isn't a huge problem since you can just go round swapping the Home/Away flag until a valid schema is achieved for all.
Sadly though it's not as simple as that since it's possible to get stuck in a circular loop if the original pair is changed again. The reason why this may happen is that depending on the arrangement of the teams in the schema, it's not always possible to produce a valid schema. Therefore, not only to the home/away flags need to be checked, but the team arrangement as well.
It's possible to do, but so inefficient as to render the algorithm useless for anything more than about 12 teams (4 in each division).
Ah, you are right, the damned non-repairable partial solutions...
I don't know, apparently Genetic Algorithms are a popular approach to scheduling problems with arbitrary constraints. I don't have much experience in either field.
Cheers Jare, I'll google GA's to see if I can come up with anything. I suspect though that I'll have to learn the basics and then apply my new-found knowledge. Looks like no spoon-fed answers for me :wallbash:

Recently appointed District Judge Gina R. Manfredi, a registered Democrat, has taken her party to court, arguing local voters deserve the chance to decide whether they want her or someone else serving as their judge.
Manfredi was one of three individuals recommended to the governor by a judicial nominating commission, which evaluated the candidates in May and June. Gov. Susana Martinez appointed her to the post last month.
Three days later, however, Manfredi lost to Bernalillo attorney Christopher Pérez when the Democratic Party of New Mexico state central committee met in Bernalillo to select the party's nominee for the post in the November general election. Her term would end when the winning candidate takes office.
The New Mexico Supreme Court on July 24 rejected Manfredi's petition to invalidate the results of the committee meeting.
On Tuesday, Attorney Joshua Carpenter of Albuquerque filed an emergency petition on Manfredi's behalf in the state district court in Santa Fe, challenging the process.
The petition states Manfredi has suffered "irreparable harm," having resigned her assistant city attorney position with the City of Rio Rancho to accept the appointment, and seeks relief from the court by giving her the "ability to run in an election to retain her office."
"The process has been this way for years because it's been unchallenged for years, and it's occurred largely out of the public's eye," Manfredi told the Observer in an email Wednesday. "The vast majority of voters have no idea of the way in which their right to choose a candidate has been taken away from them, and that's what is at issue here."
Gov. Martinez spokesman Mike Lonergan also weighed in on the case, saying in an email Thursday it "exposes a significant flaw in the judicial selection process, in that the merit-based process becomes virtually meaningless and parties can nominate whomever they choose."
DPNM stands by the committee's action.
"We are confident that our process will be upheld and believe the district court will find little merit in this litigation, just as the Supreme Court recently held," said DPNM Chairman Sam Bregman in an email Thursday.
Pérez said last month he did not submit an application to the nominating commission because he didn't think Martinez, a Republican, would appoint a Democrat. He declined to comment last week.
The state Legislature in February created the new judgeship to serve Sandoval County in the 13th Judicial District, but the process of filling the position did not begin until after the filing date for the June primary election.
State law allows the state central committees of major state parties to select a nominee, whose name then appears on the general election ballot, when a judicial vacancy occurs after a primary election.
In the petition filed with the district court, Carpenter contends the procedure followed by the DPNM state central committee "directly conflicts with the procedure set forth in the New Mexico Constitution in regard to such vacancies."
A 1988 amendment to the state Constitution created bipartisan judicial nominating commissions to fill judicial vacancies in district and appellate courts. Each commission takes applications from lawyers, interviews them to find the most qualified candidates and presents a shortlist to the governor.
The amendment represented a compromise. Previously, partisan elections determined who would serve as judges and governors had few restrictions on their appointments to fill judicial vacancies.
After the amendment, governors could only appoint lawyers vetted by the commissions.
In the decade following, governors appointed 81 judges, according to an article by emeritus University of New Mexico law professor Leo M. Romero. Nine filled vacancies after a primary election. Only one lost the party's central committee nomination.
"The Democratic state central committee's actions have circumvented the procedure enumerated in the New Mexico Constitution and have unilaterally sidestepped the work of the judicial nominating commission and the governor's appointment," Carpenter said in the petition, contending the committee lacked bipartisan credentials and had "no written or evident requirement to focus on maintaining a strong judiciary.
"In contrast, the judicial nominating commission is comprised of two political parties and prominent members of the legal community and provides a thorough application and selection process focusing on maintaining a strong judiciary and vetting the most qualified judge," he said.
The DPNM decision to pick Pérez "politicizes the judicial selection process, dilutes the New Mexico Constitution, and shifts the focus of the judicial nomination from merit to political support," Carpenter argues.
The result, he said, will be that "political judges" will wait until after the primary to announce their retirement. Then "potentially only less-qualified applicants will risk current employment to apply for a judicial vacancy near an election."
Carpenter also makes the case that DPNM "disenfranchised the public's right to vote in a primary for the vacant judicial position" because local voters had no ability to elect the delegates to the Democratic state central committee.
The deadline to fill vacancies for the general election is Sept. 9. State law requires county clerks to begin mailing absentee ballots to qualifying overseas voters 45 days before the Nov. 4 general election.
The petition asks the court to stop Secretary Dianna Duran, who Carpenter said "has no discretion to choose another candidate," from placing Pérez's name on the ballot.
Carpenter offers the court three alternatives: It could order a runoff election between Manfredi and Pérez, tell Duran to place both names on the ballot or allow Manfredi to serve until the next primary.

Take care of pipes before they freeze
Freezing cold temperatures can mean big problems for some of your home's most vulnerable parts.
"You need to be worried anytime the temperatures get below 32 degrees," said Ed Del Grande, a nationally known plumber and contractor.
That's when pipes freeze.
"When a pipe freezes, the ice builds up. And when ice builds up in a pipe, it expands. And that's the way it works in nature," Del Grande said.
How do you avoid frozen pipes?
Del Grande said the best offense is a good defense.
"Go ahead of time and prepare your pipes," he said.
Del Grande said neoprene sleeves should be wrapped tight around pipes that are exposed to insulate them.
And notice when a pipe has frozen.
"Let's say your bathroom is working fine, but your kitchen faucet is not giving you water. That's a good tip of a freeze-up," Del Grande said.
You want to call your plumber right away.
If you lose electricity during a storm, that's when your house becomes the most vulnerable because the heat turns off and your pipes can freeze.
To prevent that, Del Grande said invest in a standby generator. It will automatically kick on the electricity, keeping your house warm and those pipes warm, too.
But if you do have a frozen pipe:
"Get a rag, dip it in really warm water, and lay it over there for a while," Del Grande said. "Handle it as quickly as possible because the more you let that ice build up, the bigger the split could be in those lines," Del Grande said.

San Jose police say a teenage driver has been arrested following a car crash that killed his passenger, the latest in a recent spate of fatal accidents involving teenagers, motor vehicles and alcohol or drugs in the San Francisco Bay area.
Authorities did not immediately identify the 18-year-old victim, but said he was trapped in an SUV that crashed into a light pole and exploded into flames around 3 a.m. Tuesday.
Officers arrested the driver, 18-year-old Mitchell Braden Pennings, and booked him on charges of DUI, hit-and-run and vehicular manslaughter.
Santa Clara County prosecutors charged a 19-year-old driver on Monday in the deaths of two passengers in a crash that happened Sept. 16 as he was being pursued by CHP officers.
The next day, CHP officers arrested a 16-year-old driver whom they allege was drunk when his car crashed in Novato, killing a classmate.

(CBS/AP) CENTENNIAL, Colo. - Colorado theater shooting defendant James Holmes is returning to court, and lawyers will likely argue over which of Holmes' mental health records should be turned over to prosecutors.
PICTURES: The Colorado massacre suspect
A hearing is scheduled for Monday morning in Arapahoe County District Court in Centennial.
Holmes underwent a sanity evaluation this summer. Prosecutors have asked to see extensive records from the evaluation, as well as Holmes' mental health records from the University of Colorado-Denver, where he was a student. But defense lawyers say prosecutors aren't entitled to all the records they're seeking.
Defense attorneys have also asked the judge not to make documents in the case public, saying such easy access to them could influence potential jurors.
Holmes pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity to multiple charges of murder and attempted murder. He is accused of killing 12 people and injuring 70 during a midnight showing of "The Dark Knight Rises" in an Aurora, Colo. movie theater in July 2012.
Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty.

Tonight I have for you a comfort style dish - I love macaroni and cheese type dishes. I'm always on the lookout for a new one to try. There are so many ingredients to experiment with. While this is not exactly my own creation (I tweaked it a bit), I was excited to make it because it has pickled jalapeno peppers and Peter Piper picked a peck of them (say that 3 times fast!). Those added quite a zing and brought it to a whole new level. The original recipe called for regular bread crumbs but I substituted panko - they are so crispy and light.
The DIY Guy really enjoyed this dish too - I think I saw him go back for thirds! I don't think I would change a thing from my version - if you wanted some protein, add some cooked chicken.
Two Pepper Pasta
Prep Time: 25 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Ingredients (serves 8)
- 16 oz penne pasta (or rigatoni)
- 3 T butter
- 1 large red pepper chopped
- 3 T flour
- 3 cups 1% milk
- 1 cup shredded fontina cheese
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 2 T minced pickled jalapeno pepper
- 1 t salt
- 1 t pepper
- 1/4 cup sliced green onions
- 1 cup panko crumbs
1. Preheat your oven to 375.
2. Cook the pasta and drain well
3. In a large saucepan, melt 1T butter over medium heat. Add the red pepper and sauté for 5 minutes then add to the pasta
4. To make sauce: melt 1T butter then add flour to combine. Stir milk in gradually whisking until smooth. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly for 2 minutes. Remove from heat then add the cheeses – mix until smooth. Stir in jalapeno, green onions and S&P
5. Spray a 9x13 pan then add mixture.
6. Melt 1 T butter and mix with the panko crumbs and place on top. Bake for 20 minutes – if you would like the crumbs darker, place under broiler for a bit.

I hope you like my dish and give it a try!

Second entry in the Kusopon All Star vinyl bank series
Kuso Vinyl will be at DesignerCon in booth #330, and one of the things they're bringing this year is a new Kusopon All Star bank, Ponburger. If you haven't guessed by now, it's KusoPop mascot Kusopon as a hamburger. The vinyl bank stands about 6 inches tall, which is a pretty decent size and should hold quite a bit of coin.
If you want to pick one up at DCon, Ponburger will set you back US$25. There's only 300 of these, too. It's a nice little take on the Kusopon design; I've always thought he kind of looked like a burger. What do you think?

text: It's pronounced "subtract", which is the name this south London producer goes by, preferring anonymity lest anything detract from his music. If only it were more distinctive. His debut album is a bang-up-to-date summary of where British electronic music is at post-dubstep and the xx winning the Mercury prize, which is to say it's entered its coffee-table phase. So while there's a roster of guest vocalists and an emphasis on tasteful songwriting, it's all too smooth, lacking the reckless thrill of the audacious remixes of tracks by Radiohead and Goldie with which he first attracted attention.

WASHINGTON (Nov. 22)
In a strong statement of opposition to the Arab economic boycott of Israel, Congress has overwhelmingly passed a resolution urging the Arab League to lift the boycott.
But soon after the weekend vote, the Arab League voted to continue the anti-Israel sanctions until Israel withdraws from all occupied Arab land and a Palestinian state is created.
The House voted 425 to 1 in favor of the resolution, and the Senate passed the measure by voice vote. Both votes occurred over the weekend, as members of Congress rushed to complete their business before the Thanksgiving holiday.
The lone member of the House to oppose the non-binding resolution was Rep. Nick Joe Rahall (D-W.Va.). Rahall has previously opposed quashing anti-Israel activities.
Concern has been mounting on Capitol Hill over continuation of the boycott, which is even older than the State of Israel and affects not only Israel but American companies doing business with the Jewish state.
With Israel now engaging in economic relationships with the Palestinians and Jordan, the boycott, which was established in 1946, is being increasingly viewed here as an anachronism and an obstacle to Middle East peace.
After Congress passed the anti-boycott resolution, an Arab League official in Cairo said the boycott would continue until Israel withdraws from all occupied Arab land and a Palestinian state comes into being.
Arab League Secretary Esmat Abdel-Meguid told reporters Monday, "We want to end the boycott, but the reasons that led to its imposition — the continuation of the occupation and the need for Palestinians to regain their rights — are still valid."
The league voted to continue the boycott.
Here in Washington, the Congressional resolution was sponsored in the House by Rep. Peter Deutsch (D-Fla.) and in the Senate by Sen. Frank Lautenberg (D-N.J.).
In a statement issued Sunday, Deutsch said, "If the nations of the Arab League want us to believe they're serious about peace, then it's time that they show some real commitment and lift all forms of the boycott, including the blacklisting of hundreds of American companies."

WASHINGTON (AP) — Putting a statistic on disappointment, the Obama administration revealed Wednesday that fewer than 27,000 people signed up for private health insurance last month in the 36 states relying on a problem-filled federal website.
States running their own enrollment systems did better, signing up more than 79,000, for a total enrollment of over 106,000.
Still, that was barely one-fifth of the nearly 500,000 people administration officials had projected would sign up the first month of Obama's signature program, a numerical rebuke to the administration's ability to deliver on its promise. The 106,185 people who made it all the way through to selecting a plan represent just 1.5 percent of the 7 million people the administration hopes to enroll by next year.
Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said things will get better, and quickly. "There is no doubt the level of interest is strong," she said.
The administration said an additional 1 million or so applicants have been found eligible for government-subsidized private coverage in new state-level insurance markets, and about half are within sight of having their plans lined up for the start of next year. An additional 396,000 have been found eligible for Medicaid, the safety-net program that is shaping up as the health care law's early success story.
The numbers landed amid a political storm on Capitol Hill. Democrats who had hoped to run for re-election next year on the success of the health care law are increasingly worried.
It's not only the website woes, but a wave of cancellation notices hitting constituents whose individual health insurance policies don't measure up to the law's requirements. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., has scheduled an all-Democrats meeting Thursday with White House health care officials.
The administration has staked its credibility on turning the website around by the end of this month. From the president on down, officials have said that HealthCare.gov will be running smoothly for the vast majority of users by Nov. 30.
Some outside experts are concerned. "People are starting to get nervous because there is not enough indication from the government that things are on track," said Caroline Pearson, who runs the health reform practice at Avalere Health, a market analysis firm. "You wonder if there are still underlying programming problems that are causing the system to shut down when volume is high."
Administration officials have not specified what "running smoothly" means, or what would constitute the "vast majority" of users.
On daily media calls, Health and Human Services department officials have described a situation where problems get fixed and then new issues crop up as consumers are able to venture further into the website. It's a bit like traffic heading back to a city late on a summer Sunday: You get past one jam, and odds are you run into another.
There was a hopeful sign this Tuesday when Julie Bataille, HHS communications director for the rollout, said that 275,000 people who got hung up in the early days are being invited back to try to complete their applications. The administration is sending the email invitations in batches, so as not to risk any disruptions. White House chief technology officer Todd Park told Congress on Wednesday that system response times are much faster, and error rates have plunged.
But other signals have raised questions. In a blog post on Saturday, Bataille quoted chief White House troubleshooter Jeff Zients as saying improvements would continue in "December, January, February — just like you do with any website."

Joshua Schachter will offer unparalleled insights into how to successfully build, develop, and scale social web applications, with an emphasis on the power of community. He will also discuss how technology can augment the ability to organize, recall, and share information found on the Web, effectively making one's memory more scalable as the amount of content proliferates.
In expanding this concept to the community level, users are able to discover additional items tagged and saved in similar interest areas. Because del.icio.us and similar systems operate primarily with the intent of allowing individuals to build and organize their own collection of information, a vibrant community encompassing a great deal of expertise on a variety of subjects is constructed. Viewing the aggregate activity inside the system allows "wisdom of the crowds"-style visualization and analysis of the daily ebb and flow of information on the Web.
Joshua Schachter started del.icio.us as a hobby in 2003 and ignited the whole tagging phenomenon. He began to work on it full-time with the founding of del.icio.us inc in March, 2005. Before that, Joshua worked in financial services in NYC for ten years, including most recently with Morgan Stanley. Joshua has a BS in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Carnegie Mellon University.

More than 300 sunny days, marvelous beaches, golf courses that's one of the best in Europe and a fantastic ski resort close to the heart of the city is only some of the reasons that you should invest in a holiday home in Antalya. İt is also why Antalya chosen to be the 2'nd best city to live in, in Turkey, only beaten by the capital Ankara. The research are made by the international buisness magasin CNBC-e.
Antalya is the perfect city that can offer many different things at the same time. Only in Antalya, can you experience the city vibe, shopping, entertainment, cultural and historical sights, a relaxed beach life and in the winter months skiing. All this is only about 20 minutes from the major international airport where there are good flight connection from Europe, no matter what time of year it is.
The fine beach Konyaalti is centrally located, and 10 km east of downtown, the equally lovely Lara beach. Many Westerners have begun to invest in these areas, either by purchase of apartments, villas or plots of land.
The Antalya city has approximately 1,000,000 inhabitants and is the provincial capital of the region. The town is beautifully situated at the bottom of a large bay overlooking the Mediterranean Sea and Taurus Mountains where you can go skiing in the winter months. Besides the beautiful scenery, golf, waterfalls, rafting the town has everything you could wish from a big city; real metropolitan atmosphere, shopping opportunities, art, magnificent culture and history. Generally, there is plenty of life in summer in all Turkish holiday resort but when the season is over, there are not so much activities, however, Antalya is the largest city of the area with life all year round.
Because of the above mentioned reasons Antalya is one of the cities in Turkey which receives also most newcomers from other parts of Turkey. Therefore, it would be easier if sometime in the future you will sell your investment again.

My role model is Karla Martinez the co-host of the morning show Despierta America on Univision. Karla Martinez was born in Chihuahua and she studied at the University of Texas at El Paso. I used to watch her back in the year 2000 in a television show called "Control". I loved her attitude and her bright smile but after knowing that she graduated with a degree in electronic media at UTEP, I felt more connected to her. Now every time I walk through the UTEP campus, I think of Karla because she started like me and now she is an influential figure in the Hispanic market. She is the spokesperson for Colgate and General Mills and she has hosted many shows for Univision. Now that I'm studying multimedia journalism at UTEP, I get inspired to follow my dreams like Karla Martinez did. She is a very humble and beautiful person. Yesterday for latinitas I twitted that she was my role model and she sent me a sweet and inspiring message via twitter. I will never forget Karla's nice words.

GOALSCORERS says RONNIE CULLY
THE tactics and the selection of the team will have to be spot on for this crucial game for Celtic, but nerves will play every bit as big a part on the night.
So, to avoid any undue anxiety, Neil Lennon should try to pick a team and a system capable of taking the initiative and, hopefully, the lead as early as possible.
The defence takes care of itself, with Lustig on one side, Mulgrew on the other and Wilson and Ambrose in the centre of the back line.
A midfield four of Commons, Brown, Kayal, and Ledley would offer security and an attacking threat, with Commons one of the best players on the park in the Hoops victory at Tynecastle last week.
Up front, Samaras and Hooper should be given the task of keeping the shaky Spartak defence on edge, and with the likes of Watt and Lassad on the bench there will be no lack of options if the need for more firepower should arise.
BRING BACK IZZY says MATTHEW LINDSAY
THE Celtic team that Neil Lennon sends out to play Spartak Moscow will depend greatly on who is fit.
But if Scott Brown is indeed available and Emilio Izaguirre shows no adverse reaction to his comeback, both men should start in the crucial tie.
Izaguirre would be best in a defence that features Ambrose, Lustig and Wilson. With Victor Wanyama suspended for the visit of the Russians though, who should play in midfield is not so clear cut. But going with Mulgrew, Ledley, Brown and Commons would give the Scottish champions a nice combination of creativity and physicality.
Up front, Georgios Samaras has been invaluable for the Parkhead club in Europe and Gary Hooper always poses a goal threat. If Lennon is in a cautious mood though, he may bring Beram Kayal in from the cold and sacrifice Hooper. The Israeli has looked sharp during his first team appearances.

Engaging with Contemporary Poets
Senior Fellow John Rufo '16 spent the year interviewing contemporary political poets through the lenses of race, gender, sexuality, and disability.
Students in the junior year may become candidates by submitting a proposal for a senior year of independent study. The proposal usually grows out of earlier independent study courses and is framed in consultation with two faculty advisers of the student's choice.
Senior Fellows are exempt from taking a normal course load in the conventional curriculum, and they need not complete concentration requirements; they may take such courses as are appropriate to their fellowship projects and their educational goals. A written thesis is required at the close of the fellowship year, along with a public lecture to the College community. Evaluation is made by the advisors and an examination committee.
Senior Fellow John Rufo '16 spent the year interviewing contemporary political poets through the lenses of race, gender, sexuality, and disability.
Senior Fellow Robert Huben's project, "Size Matters: Directed Explorations in Measurable Dynamics and Homological Algebra," seeks to study two distinct areas of mathematics: homological algebra and ergodic theory.
Sabrina Yurkofsky '15, a psychology-communication double major, studied sexism in television programming and its potential effects on viewers' gender perspectives.
Emma Laperruque '14 pursued a project centered around food—specifically, how the millennial generation relates to what they cook and eat.
While smooth highways bridge millions of Americans to glossy new shopping opportunities every year, the nation places less value on the quiet pastoral state that it once treasured. Marty Cain '13 explored this dichotomy of lifestyles for his senior fellowship.
McKayla Dunfey '13 explores the connection between a cyclist and the relationship they have with their surroundings through her Senior Fellowship, titled "The Bicycle's Influence: Changing Perceptions of Place and Space in Urban Environments."

While our annual list of the books that sold the most copies (more than 100,000) in 2003 won't be published until March 22, it's easy to guess the #1 fiction and nonfiction hardcovers. Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code from Doubleday heads up fiction and Zondervan's The Purpose-Driven Life by Rick Warren is the big nonfiction seller. By the end of 2003, Brown's book boasted more than 5.85 million copies in print, while Warren's sold more than 11 million copies just in 2003. Da Vinci has been #1 for 30 of the 44 weeks it's been on the PW charts. Purpose-DrivenLife has been on PW's weekly charts for about one year, but landed only once in the top slot. It's been #1 on our monthly religion charts for 14 months, and held the top spot for 11 of them. The South Beach Diet from Rodale, another top seller with a lengthy tenure in the #1 spot—26 out of 41 weeks—comes in a healthy second, with more than five million copies in print.

- Free Video Calls

video chat at a glance
here's a summary of our findings after testing, along with some tips for video chatting with family and friends.
1 sightspeed rules!: it proved the easiest to set up and use, and video quality couldn't be beat. even in our lab-based testing, sightspeed came out on top.
2 more skype users means more free calls: because this is the most commonly used free voip service, you'll be more likely to find friends and family using it (meaning the calls are free). skype has a handy account to deposit money for making non-skype calls.
3 it's slower to go across the pond: for international calls, voip is fine, with little or no lag time. but if you want to do video, expect delaysno matter if you're calling madrid or manila.
4 use it to call your kids at state u: kids are always online, so take advantage of their greediness and the school's broadband by giving them a webcam when they ship off to college.

Despite how much people claim to like change, at the core we are creatures of habit. Just as we saw when Facebook introduced Timeline and as we will see when Twitter makes its next significant change, people are going to get up in arms about it. Apple's iOS 7 was no different.
Described as the biggest change to iOS since the introduction of the iPhone, iOS 7 has been available to the general public for roughly two weeks at this point. That's given everyone plenty of time to get accustomed to all of the changes and vent about them, but for us, it's served as an evaluation period.
Looking beyond the flat UI and the animated background, has that much really changed in Apple's mobile OS? Here are my top six things still missing in iOS 7 as well as the six that Apple nailed with the update.

I regret that I don't get to spend enough time on the Lower East Side. There really are so many cool streets to explore, but my flight path through the city just doesn't usually include this area. But, I was lucky enough to need to pick up Jill at her friend's house yesterday, so Luke, Drew and I went early so that we could wander around a bit. (Ok, the boys weren't so keen on the idea of "wandering around a bit", but I made it worth their while.)
At the corner of Broome and Orchard there is a sweet little cafe called 88 Orchard. It's directly across the street from The Tenement Museum and the coffee is excellent.
They do in fact have cozy seating downstairs, and it's a good thing too, because now every time I head into a coffee shop I'm afraid the I Saw Your Nanny crew is watching me sip a caffeinated beverage while my charges scrape paint chips off the wall and eat them. I got my much needed caffeine fix and the boys got oatmeal cookies, which made them quite happy (take that ISYN!), and downstairs they could run around and not bother anyone, which was nice for all involved.
If you aren't a coffee fan, they have a great selection of tea as well. I love the little tea display at the counter. I'm a sucker for tiny labels.

Amadiba. South African coast. Beautiful scenery with beautiful history. Within the area is a feud between two sides, one the likes that many have never seen. Two cousins head the feud, Nonhle, who is trying to preserve the area and the people who live there, and Madiba, whose mindset is fully monetary, offering support to a mining project that would build a highway across tribal ground. The Shore Break tells the story of Nonhle and Madiba, two cousins with two different views and wants, and two people who will inadvertently change the landscape of Amadiba.
The Shore Break is really a documentary showcasing the two sides of struggle: the struggle to preserve and the struggle to change. In Nonhle's case, she wants to support the people and area and not have any changes to it. For Madiba, money is the motive. The surroundings offer some view into the magnitude of the fight, as the beautiful scenery and the culture of the people give you a sense of what Nonhle is fighting for.
It's interesting to see this happening to cousins. The family feud offers a look at the psyche of two different people, and what drives them. The motive and the way Madiba tries to get the mining proposal and highway to be built is surprising. It is sad that though these things do help people, it will deeply affect the people already in the land. This documentary is something you will remember.

Police in the northern port city of Hai Phong Monday night caught 59 pangolins, two of them dead, as they were being carried to a local company warehouse.
The pangolins, weighing more than 200 kilograms (each that weighed one to ten kilograms), were found in net bags in a Toyota Camry parked outside the warehouse of Hoang Truong Ltd. in An Duong District.
Three other Toyotas and six people at the site were brought to the police office.
The police also found fourteen fake car number plates for different northern localities including Hanoi, Ninh Binh, Thanh Hoa and Nghe An Provinces, including two blue number plates for disguising vehicles as government cars.
All the six people arrested denied ownership of the cars or the pangolins (also known as ant-eaters), saying they were hired to carry the animals from the cars to the warehouse.
The police are still investigating the case further.

What is the Maximum Reduction an Otoplasty Can Do? Can It Reduce the Thickness of the Ears?
Doctor Answers 8
Otoplasty or Ear Pinning
Amount of change possible with otoplasty
The otoplasty procedure involves tucking the ears backwards into the head, usually so that the rim of the auricle is approximately 1.5 to 1.8 cm from the back of the post-auricular scalp. Obviously they have to be overcorrected at first because they will stick slightly outwards as they heal.
Degree of correction with otoplasty
This is an interesting question.
Otoplasty is a vague term meaning re-shaping of the ears. There are many types of problems with ears people ask for help with. The common one is a prominent ear (commonly called a 'bat ear'), where the goal is to set back the ear to make it appear natural. It is possible to correct/improve quite severe deformities by a number of different techniques.
If you are referring to a thick and deformed ear as seen in some boxers (commonly called 'cauliflower ear'), it is possible to thin and sculpt, to some extent, the thickened cartilage.
If you are looking for a more specific answer, some photographs will be helpful.

Otoplasty Can Give Significant Reduction in Ear Prominence
Otoplasty refers to changing the shape of the ears. Usually, patients ask me to make their ears less prominent or "stick out less". We can do this by shaping the ears with permanent sutures, setting back the ears, and in some cases, removing excess cartilage. We can make earlobes smaller, thinner, and less prominent. In specialized cases, we can make the cartilagenous portion of the ear smaller as well.
It is not uncommon for me to reduce ear prominence by over one centimeter. Some good examples can be seen on my practice website. I hope this helps!

A photograph would have been of great assistance? There are two common conditions noted in prominent ears. The first is a lack of the Fossa Triangularis on the upper part of the ear. The second is a prominent Chonchal Bowl or cup of the ear. Recreation of the fold of the ear or Fossa pins the ear back and folds it into a more acceptable appearance. A patient can still have prominent ears because of a prominent Chonchal Bowl. This is normally reduced at the time of an otoplasty with removal of excessive skin behind the ear to produce a balanced appearance. For men they often like the ear to fold around the head so, the overall appearance of the head does not look so, wide because of their prominent ears. Best,
Gary R Culbertson, MD, FACS
Otoplasty reduction amount
Otoplasty typically involves bringing an ear that is perceived as overly far from the side of the head closer to the head. The upper portion of the ear is typically treated by increasing the amount of folding of the cartilage by using a suture technique. The middle third of the ear is typically adressed by manipulating the conchal bowl (the cup shaped part of the ear). The goal of the procedure should be a balanced appearance.
Otoplasty Reducing Thickness
I would have to see the deformity to which you refer, but there are a tremendous number of options that can reduce the size of the ears.
Otoplasty Reshapes The Ear Not Reduces Its Size
It is unclear from your otoplasty question as to what you mean by 'maximum reduction' since this implies the size of the ear and not the shape of it. Similarly the question about thickness implies size concerns. You will need to post pictures and better define your questions to be more helpful.

Plus Size Fashion Tips from Todd
We've heard it's the hap-hap-happiest time of the year. But as we prepare for the holidays we find ourselves pulled in too many directions. Women often spend time and energy thinking of others and doing whatever it takes to make sure all is merry and bright.
But it's also party time. Special occasions call for special attention to how we look. Whether it's in a home office or a corner office, we dress each day for work. And there are social events of every description—from the children's holiday pageant to the corporate soirée. Each occasion brings with it choices along with the need for appropriate attention to detail. For the woman with a plus size figure, those details play an important part in getting it right.
Women of all shapes and sizes want to look and feel good. Here we're giving you practical advice. The goal is to feel fabulous! With a little guidance and a few timeless pieces, most women can dress with confidence for any occasion.
- Smooth Sailing--First things first. Shapewear. What goes on first can make or break you. The proper foundation garments offer support and the comfort of knowing you're all tucked in. Be sure your budget allows for these necessities. Then follow manufacturers' instructions in order to properly care for your foundations.
- Standing the Test of Time--Some women want to go all out for a chic party dress. If you want to do that—go for it! Many shoppers, however, would prefer to choose an "item piece," to pair with black dress pants or a skirt. This is another stylish decision and you'll find some delicious choices on our website. Look to the classics to stretch your wardrobe. Then you can shop by shape to find a dressy plus size jacket, a smashing cape or the perfect tunic. Put on your strappy sandals and make a bold statement in a wired-collar jacket. Look for distinctive details like oversized buttons, piping or vivid colors. Consider the timeless tunic. It can be belted to show off your hourglass figure or worn straight to hide trouble spots. Classic pieces stretch your wardrobe and make choosing an outfit so much easier. Statement pieces and accessories add pizzazz!
- Making it Fit--Garments tailored to fit are the most flattering. No matter your size or shape there will often be fit challenges. Your seamstress should be your BFF.
- Putting it all together—Know your body type. Shop by shape to flatter your curves and accentuate your best features. Work those accessories! They can steal the show, if that's what you're after. For example, a pear shaped woman can shift focus to her face with the right jewelry. A beautiful bracelet can balance a reverse triangle by drawing attention to the wrist.
- Smile! Be confident! When you feel fabulous you know you've probably made the right choices.

Tagged: Agentpress, qr code, real esate, squeeze pages
This topic contains 2 replies, has 3 voices, and was last updated by IDX Leads 4 years, 3 months ago.
May 27, 2013 at 8:35 am #42793
I am so excited that the website I wrote for my husband's real estate business, Arcara Residential, is going smoothly, since I am not a programmer and built this on my own, with many dumb questions for the studiopress people, the wordpress community, and a few "____ for Dummies" books scattered around me. Plus google... "what is ftp?" is an example of what I started with. So this was a mountain of a learning curve, and I am in love with agentpress, studiopress, and the entire wordpress approach. In fact, I have started writing a casual "real estate blog" on our site that has been a blast and has opened up a new hobby for me.
I would love any feedback.
Here is my latest thought process. I am in the middle of redesigning our business cards, which have been very boring with a blank back side, and I was thinking of using a QR code on the back-- we are about to start a couple of neighborhoods that appeal to first time home buyers, and I think many of them would be all too familiar with QR. When they scan the QR code, I was thinking of having it pull up a squeeze page to capture them as a lead... but I'm not sure how well that works for real estate. Do any of you use squeeze pages for a mobile landing? I have not been unhappy with the way my site looks on a mobile phone, but if you are looking to grab a lead I thought it might need to look a little... well... squeezed.
Any suggestions?
Also, I keep reading about IDX and RETS... but all the information out there seems really specific, and I haven't tackled that learning curve yet. I am pretty sure the board of realtors site here supports both... any suggestions on the best way to start from scratch, learning about what you can do with that? My husband was on the general impression that if you provide the MLS capability on your site, it just passed people through from your site, so if a prospective buyer was interested in a home they saw they would just call the agent listed on that home on MLS (not us). Right now, when you search on our site, the only listings you get are ours, which isn't great for people searching for a home. I believe the technology probably lends itself to present your visitor with lots of listings, but without passing them out of your site and into someone else's hand... so with that revealing look into HOW LITTLE I know about this, would someone please point me toward the best way to become educated about what I can do? Our company has both buyers' and sellers' agents, with a specialization in new construction-- so we represent builders and need to still be able to feature them. Agentpress works great for that.
Any suggestions would be appreciated!! When I become an expert in anything, I will pay it back!
Thanks.http://www.arcarahomes.comMay 27, 2013 at 10:27 pm #42868
Site looks good but the header doesn't match the rest of the site. Otherwise, good job.
May 30, 2013 at 9:15 am #43205
IDX LeadsParticipant
If I were you I would ask some very basic questions about what you want and need from your website. Focus on the needs like communicating you firm's message and showcasing your firm's listings. Beyond accomplishing those two relatively simple goals the competition becomes brutal. For most agents and small firms it's more cost effective to buy leads generated at other websites than it is to have a website that produces them.
