Maribelle Apartment Homes (formerly Apple Creek Apartments)
750 Apple Creek Lane, Santa Rosa, CA 9540105/13/14 by RonRozewski:
Conditions here are a thousand times better than my previous residence. I'm wondering if there's a way to voice disappointment with management actions, particularly with inactions? I've been told that I can move if i'm unhappy with the way things are. Nice to know but a dismissive and threatening response to problems. more
Villages Apartments
2980 Bay Village Circle, Santa Rosa, CA 9540306/19/14 by dcross61:
I lived in The Villages for 4 years. The neighborhood is safe. The grounds are well taken care of. The office staff are friendly and attentive (Amy is awesome).

I have lived at Coddingtown Mall Apartments for about 3 years now. It is a very beautiful place to live between all the trees. The manager's Nancy & Harry take good care of everyone.

My family and I lived her for 11 months, the term of our lease, and while we never had any maintenance issues to deal with, and the exterior areas were always clean, based on our experiences with the office and noise issues I can't give it any more than two stars.

Buy- as long as big ben supports builders with cheap money
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Fed money is not getting to the builders, still hard to get spec financing and near impossible to get land financing. The only builders that are doing well are ones with private money or huge cash position. This is why builders like PHM are doing so well with their strong cash and land position. Then add to the limited competition and you have a foundation for strong earnings. Good luck on your changed position.
Da-fed giving builders those super cheap interest rates the home buyers are getting. Builders go down-fed knows we go in recession
Gee...I feel so much better now.
I agree! About six months ago when this stock was almost believeable. Now? Every insider huuerr will be selling. Twenty percent correction coming fast.

This year's endless parade of injuries found itself another high-profile target this past weekend, as middleweight champion Chris Weidman withdrew from his UFC 184 title defense against Vitor Belfort less than a month out from fight night, marking the third time that same match-up failed to come to fruition. The culprit this time around was a fluke injury Weidman sustained during wrestling practice that left him with fractured cartilage in his ribs and effectively unable to move.

I read that at some point in one's senior years, it is better to rent rather than own a home. Is there any merit to this idea in 2012?

QMy wife and I are retired and rely on our investments to supplement our pensions.
Updated: June 09, 2012, - 09:14 PM
Q I have a Stafford student loan, $45,000 with a fixed annual percentage rate of 4.5 percent. Currently this loan is with ACS Education. However, this loan has been sold more than 10 times in the last eight years and I feel that it's a matter of time before it is sold again to another firm.

Kitchen Island
Storage is always a problem in kitchens - finding a place for all of those appliances, crockery and cutlery can be challenge.
Investing in a kitchen island adds some distinct benefits for the space you have. It allows you to gain cabinetry and storage; extra shelves, drawers and cupboards help you to handle all your belongings. Kitchen islands are perfect for children to sit at, allowing you to help them with homework whilst you prepare dinner or letting them get a snack or a piece of the fruit from the top is much safer than them reaching onto a worktop. Having a kitchen island also gives an opportunity to install extra seating and create another area to socialise and eat at.
Being able to move your furniture around is a convenient feature of our kitchen islands. You can pick and choose where your furniture will best suit your needs, and if you decide that it is time for a change, unlike fixed worktops, you can simply move a portable island to a new position.
Available to purchase online as part of a collection for your kitchen or individually, a kitchen island is a practical and aesthetically pleasing piece of furniture for your kitchen.

Mexico Institute in the News: Elections results protests are shrinking in Mexico — here's why
Jul 24, 2012
The second weekend of July, only 4,000 people attended a protest that was mostly spontaneous, and this weekend, a marcha that was organized by the #YoSoy132 student movement [and other social groups] and promoted as part of a new strategy to "resist" the "imposition" of PRI candidate Enrique Peña Nieto, only garnered some 30,000 people.
Does this mean that the #YoSoy132 student movement and the rest of the "anti-imposition" crowd is losing support?.. The Mexico Institute's Eric Olson comments.

Campeon tequila is made at El Viejito distillery in Atotonilco, Jalisco. For more than 75 years, the Nunez family has been making unadulterated, additive-free tequila with a clean-tasting purity and a trademark note of white pepper and spice. In Mexico, they release an eponymous tequila called El Viejito, but in the U.S. they're brought in by the Bay Area's own Lou Palatella, who contracts the juice under his Campeon label. The blanco is a tequila drinker's blanco. Light, clean, easy to sip, but utterly mixable. With new pricing, this is easily one of the best tequilas at K&L for the price.
Below is a listing of the wine review scores we frequently reference in our notes. While these sources remain an excellent source of information, we always recommend that you trust your own palate.

Tweets worth keeping14Jun12
The Twitter stream flows pretty quickly and sometimes its hard to find the good information amongst the banter before it disappears from view. Here's a selection of tweets…and more importantly the links….I've read or shared in the last week that are worth keeping (also a bit of an experiment in link longevity).

2012 Internet trends and the re-imagination of everything6Jun12
Want more evidence that no industry is immune from the current pace of change? Then this post is chock full of examples.
Last time I was in San Francisco I attended the Web 2.0 Summit featuring many of the web-tech industry's biggest names. One of the best presentations was by Mary Meeker, at the time an analyst for Morgan Stanley. Mary is so good at reading the trends and industry directions that she was then poached by leading Silicon Valley VC firm Kleiner Perkins Caufield Byers. In short, when Mary speaks the industry listens.
Mary has just published her 2012 Internet Trends Report and it makes for interesting reading.
But what I'd really like to share are the slides from 29-86 which cover the way technology has re-imagined so many industries in recent times. As Mary says, these are still early days, we're still in Spring training.
The presentation also covers:
- Global Internet usage
- Mobile usage
- Mobile device evolution
- Mobile monetization transition
- Platform firehoses
- The trend of "re-imagination" of almost everything (no industry is immune)
- The economy
- US consumer sentiment
- The tech "bubble"
The 10 main reasons people unfollow you on Twitter [Infographic]4Jun12
Ever wondered why your Twitter follower count goes up and down? Want to get a feel for what works and what annoys people on Twitter?
Then you might find this infographic useful. Its the 10 main reasons people unfollow you on Twitter and it was created by fellow Age of Conversation author Douglas Karr and his team at DK New Media.
Thanks to Douglas for sharing it.
No industry is immune to the current pace of change31May12
Why pizza eating hackers may be your biggest threat…and opportunity
I was speaking at a conference earlier this week and opened my presentation with the warning that unless businesses started adapting to the rapid pace of change in communications and technology they will be left behind. Every industry will be affected. Those who think they're immune are kidding themselves.
My presentation followed an economic update by a leading economist who didn't paint a very rosy picture for the next few years. Whilst Australia has managed to remain relatively unscathed by economic chaos around the world up til now, this may be about to change. With Greece and the European Union on the brink and Australian personal debt at levels much higher than the rest of the world, consumer confidence has dried up. We're not spending and the strain is beginning to show on the economy.
This will only increase the hunger for more cost effective ways for consumers to shop and for businesses to perform. It will hasten the move to more efficient technological solutions and out-sourcing of talent.
Look no further than this week's announcement by Fairfax that they intend to move editorial production of their regional papers to New Zealand. A favourable exchange rate and modern technology make this possible and will save Fairfax millions in wages.
Its terrible news for local papers and the employees who will lose their jobs, but its also as inevitable as the sun rising tomorrow. Ever since the Internet took away the "rivers of gold" that classified listing generated for newspapers the industry has been in decline. This was always going to happen eventually.
Its an era of change and no industry is immune.
In my presentation I showed a timeline of the big tech innovations of the last 15 years. These all contribute heavily to the way we now shop, consume media, research, conduct business and entertain ourselves:
- Google – founded 1997
- iTunes – launched 2001
- Facebook – founded 2004
- YouTube – launched 2005
- Twitter – launched 2006
- iPhone – launched 2007
- 5 Free to Air TV Channels in 2009
- 16 FTA channels today
- Then there's Google TV and Apple TV trying to break through
…and the National Broadband Network is now rolling out….
The last 15 years have been the tip of the iceberg, more radical change is coming and every industry will be affected.
Any business that isn't looking to move their marketing from outbound to inbound, their IT from in-house to the cloud, reconsidering human resources, or radically revising their whole business model is crazy.
Don't be surprised when some upstart comes along with a leaner, meaner business model to interrupt your industry. There are thousands on young punks with laptops, pizza and energy drinks currently plotting your downfall. Maybe you should be hiring them instead.
It has happened to the advertising and marketing industries. It happened in a big way in the music industry. It has happened to print media. Radio is in the firing line. Television is trying to adapt quickly. Look at the travel industry…its almost entirely online now.
I had a customer tell me this week that it won't happen in his industry because the product is big and hard to ship and assemble plus personal service is still key. I disagree. Change is already well under way. In 10 years his industry will look totally different. Probably 5 years.
The pace of change is only going to increase and a tough economy will actually help those who adapt to leaner, more efficient models. Those people will emerge as the new market leaders whilst those who resisted change will be gone…or out on their feet.

by [me]
The web has grown enormously over the last decade with new media giants such as Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn emerging and becoming incredibly powerful as the world becomes increasingly connected.
This infographic from the team at Customer Magnetism on the online population boom demonstrates how much has changed in such a short time.
Highlights include:
- 92% of Internet users use search engines daily
- 65% of Internet users login to social networks daily
- 2.27 billion people are now on the Internet
- 93% of adult internet users in the USA are on Facebook
- By 2014, 53% of all US retail sales will be online
Meet The Social Traveler & help him help small charities16May12
Last year I met a Belgian guy who made me insanely jealous. He was traveling the world indefinitely using social media to connect, find places, set his itinerary and generally have a great time.
Along the way he was tackling crazy challenges suggested by the online community he has fostered. Right now he is riding alone on a tandem bike from Kuala Lumpur all the way to Hong Kong. He's trying to do the ride of more than 5000 km in 3 months.
His name is Bjorn Troch and he calls himself The Social Traveler.
Turns out Bjorn is a really nice guy, which probably explains why his adventure is still progressing smoothly after a few years of non-stop country hopping.
Beyond having a great time and making us office workers jealous, Bjorn is also trying to make a difference to the communities he visits along the way by helping small local charities in each area.
And that's where you can help. I have chipped in to sponsor a few kilometers of Bjorn's travels knowing he will help small charities along the way….and I encourage you to do the same. It doesn't take much to make a difference in some of these communities so help Bjorn help other and then follow his adventures from the comfort of your laptop.
Here is Bjorn's full story….
The Evolution of SXSW [Infographic]15May12
by [me]
Recently I have been championing a move to hold a large innovation and tech festival in Newcastle, Australia. We're calling it DiG. So far it has a group of people working on the concept, a website and Twitter handle. We've still got a long way to go.
The encouraging thing is that "from little things big things grow". Look at this infographic from the team at Rock Sauce Studios on the rise and rise of SXSW in Austin, Texas. They only expected 150 to show up to the first year, they got 700. This year the Interactive Festival at SXSW drew over 19,000 visitors.
SXSW has been amazing for the Austin economy and a fantastic event for launching new products and services. Maybe one day DiG could have a similar effect here in Australia.
The truth about banner ads [Infographic]9May12
by [me]
Since the down of the commercial internet in the early 1990′s banner ads have been the default form of advertising. Google shook things up massively with their Adwords program but most media sites still rely heavily on banner ads for revenue.
Banner ads have always stuck me as old media imposing their old models on new technology. However, measurement is different as advertisers were encouraged to look at clicks rather than exposure, as they would have done with press display ads. Branding became less important and click-through became the goal.
The question is do banner ads really work? Are they effective? This nice infographic from the team at Prestige Marketing explains who's clicking, who's not clicking and why.
Australia's Top Media & Marketing Blogs (according to AdAge)2May12
By [me]
A few years back Advertising Age in the USA launched the Power 150 international ranking of media and marketing blogs. It caused quite a fuss. I thought it would be worthwhile revisiting the Power 150 to see how much has changed. There have been a lot of commercial entries in the last few year compared to the pure blogs that first appeared.
Here is the latest list of Australia's Top Media & Marketing Blogs according to AdAge Magazine. The rankings take into account a range of factors, some more US-centric, but it gives an good indication of which sites are making an impact. Check them out and support Australian bloggers.
Newcastle radio: AM stations fall in Survey 1, 201220Apr12
by [me]
The latest Newcastle radio ratings delivered bad news for those stations on the AM dial with both 2HD and ABC1233 recording significant falls.
NXFM topped the ratings again with a share of 18.9%, holding out stablemate KOFM on 17.6%. NEWFM recorded a rise of 1.1 for a share of 8.8% whilst NXFM was the only other station to increase their share.
The real damage was on the AM dial where both 2HD and ABC1233 dropped 2.8%.
For 2HD it was their lowest ratings in the last few decades and signals a significant loss of support. The station lost share in every demographic including a massive loss of 7.2% with the 65+ audience who had previously been their main supporters. 2HD also went down in every shift except Drive, including a drop of 5.3 in Mornings with John Laws.
The cumulative audience figures were even more revealing. 2HD now has a cumulative audience of just 65,000 for the week, while ABC1233 who also took a big hit still has 19,000 more listeners across the 7 days.

The Chicago Rat Pack "One Swingin' Night"
Egyptian Theatre - DeKalb, IL. For over 18 years, the unforgettable trio (Frank, Sammy and Dean) excited audiences nightly at the Copa Room and the Sands Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. These wonderful performances have been recreated with remarkable accuracy. Critics all proclaim "One Swinging Night" as being as close as any person could come to experiencing the original Rat Pack. With so much talent on stage together, these wild wonderful performers would set the standard tone for all those who came to Vegas throughout the Swinging 60's. How could these performances be anything less than historical? The Chicago Rat Pack's show, "One Swinging Night" is perhaps one of the few special productions that shall become as timeless as the actual counterparts (Sammy, Frank and Dean). This fantastic show transports its audiences to a time when life was a lot less complicated. "One Swinging Night" is a brilliant reenactment of the "Summit." This was the period at which all three of the magnificent super-stars were at the prime of their wonderful careers. At times, these three actors seem to transcend reality by totally becoming the characters they portray. Along with this and the fact that each member of this cast is very talented in his own right makes "One Swinging Night" a show that must be seen!

Retreat to the Rock
This event was founded in 1989 by Roseann Rossi and Pat Picco, two Christian women in the Illinois Valley who had a desire to use our beautiful Starved Rock State Park for the glory of God. They invited several women from various Christian churches to pray for guidance and come to meetings in their homes if they felt led to be involved in forming an interdenominational Christian women's retreat. Thus, Retreat to the "Rock" was birthed. Twelve ladies from various churches and backgrounds prayed, visited other retreats and called upon Winsome Women retreat from Winona Lake, Indiana to help them get started. Ethel Anderson, an officer from that retreat, was the first speaker for Retreat to the "Rock". Judy Dagraedt, a local woman with a beautiful music ministry led the music. The twelve founding members of the Retreat to the "Rock" board met and prayed fervently for the retreat, placing ten dollars a meeting in an offering to get the group started. From this humble beginning, God has used this retreat for years to proclaim His Word, bring salvation to the lost, and encourage and comfort His people. The retreat offers Bible based teaching, a variety of workshops, praise and worship, a prayer room, warm fellowship, an abundance of delicious food, and the wonderful ambiance and luxury of Starved Rock Lodge. Many women return year after year, using the retreat for a reunion of friendships, girls' night out or just good old fashioned R&R. All leave blessed.

that guy from that thing
Let's talk about William Fichtner. You may say to yourself, "I don't know who that it is," and you'd probably be right, but then you'd look at a picture of him and go, "Oh yeah! He's that guy from the thing!" Yep. That's William Fichtner.
He's been in a number of television shows and movies over the past twenty years, including The Dark Knight, Prison Break, Armageddon, Mr & Mrs Smith, and Crash. And I've always enjoyed him. But on Friday I saw on Drive Angry, and it officially won me over as a hardcore fan.
Okay. So I know what you're thinking. "Drive Angry 3D? Really?" Yes. I expected it to be horrible. But it wasn't. I seriously loved it. And I would say at least 90% of that love came from William Fichtner's protrayal of the Accountant.
I will say that by the end of the film, I still didn't completely understand what he was "accounting." And some of the film didn't completely "make sense." But the explosions were fun. The cars were awesome (it was mostly a 69 Charger). And William Fichtner was incredibly badass.
So I would recommend going seeing it. I honestly gave it to a 9 out of 10. My viewing companions didn't enjoy it as much as I did. But I've figured out that if at least one thing blows up and at least one person is super awesome and kickass, then I will enjoy the movie. Especially when I see it in theaters.
At any rate, William Fichtner is somebody who deserves more buzz this week than me. So go watch Drive Angry or Albino Alligator or The Dark Knight. But really, you should watch The Dark Knight every day anyway.

"Albino Alligator" is a great little movie that only a few people have heard about... That sounds weird when you mention big names like Viggo Mortensen, Matt Dillon, and Faye Dunnaway. And "those guys I've seen somewhere" like Gary Sinise, William Fichtner and Skeet Ulrich. I've always thought it was "The Usual Suspects" that could, unfortunately minus the buzz and awards.
ReplyDeleteOMG! Finally! Someone who view movies the same way I do! That is always my movie criteria! Explosions and super awesome kick ass bad asses! My family thinks I am crazy. :) I will always pick an action movie over anything else!
Side note: I first saw William Fichtner a long time ago when he had a role in As The World Turns.

I remember him from The Guiding Light -- used to watch with my grandmother. He's had a nice long career.
Josie Wade I love him!! I knew his face and what movies he played in but did not know his name until last year. He was filming Drive Angry in my town and he was shopping at Target. I knew I recognized him but since I did not know his name I never talked to him. I could not believe no one noticed him. I took my two children and stalked him through Target until I realized how rude I was being and just left!!
ReplyDeleteHe had what was, IMO, the ONLY good scene in Armageddon, he was the ONLY good character in Ultraviolet (literally scanned through that one for his scenes), and I loved, loved, loved, *LOVED* him in Invasion.
For the longest time, I thought he was Christopher Walken's son because they look alike to me and they're both amazingly talented actors with ridiculous range.I always liked William Fichtner on Prison Break. I could never figure out just how good or bad he really was, I liked that about him! I never got around to watching the end of the series because the show started to kinda suck, but if you havent already you should check out the first couple of seasons of that show.
ReplyDeleteHello Amanda. I'l look for this guy in some flicks based on your recommendation.
Maybe you did a post in the past, so not to be department of redundancy department, but you reflect on outlining the new Hollowland book. Would adore reading about your outlining mechanism: butcher paper with Post-Its? Index cards? Scrivener? Do you write in MS Word? All one big document or each chapter a separate file? Readers and writers love to see behind the curtain-- "Don't mind the man behind the curtain, for I am the mighty Oz!"
Thanks, A.Don't forget about his role in Michael Mann's HEAT, the FIRST film to get DeNiro and Pacino together. Although I suspect they were never on set together due to their massive egos, because in their scene in the restaurant the camera does a constant back-and-forth two-shot over the shoulder, and never a master of them sitting together. Fichtner was great when DeNiro came to kill him and through the chair through the window and then shot him. Fichtner "died" really well, falling backward over the coffee table.
ReplyDeleteI thought he did an excellent job in Blackhawk Down. Come to think of it he's excellent in everything he does.
By the way, I mentioned you in my blog post today - hope you don't mind: http://manoflabook.com/wp/?p=1754- AnonymousMarch 8, 2011 at 10:26 AM
I'm getting angry. So I'm going to vent. This looks like a good place to do it-
There are a lot of stories being written about you right now, and with these stories come a lot of comments. Now, most people on these comments are saying things about how they think you're awesome, and they get what you're doing, and all that....but there's always some people on there saying that you're a hack, and you don't know what good writing is, and none of your books have any story. This frustrates me.
Now, some of the people that come to your defense call these people out on what they're saying, and they say that you're like what McDonald's is to books. To some, that might come across as condescending, but I think it's accurate. A lot of people like McDonald's because it tastes good, it's easy, and it's cheap. I think all of those things can also be said about your books (except for the tasting them. I haven't tried that yet. But they're fun to read. And that's what I meant.)
Obviously, people are feeling the same way, because if they weren't, wouldn't they just buy one of your books and stop there? It doens't make sense for you to have 7 books in the top 100, and be a horrible writer, does it?
I guess all I'm trying to say, is that just because what you're writing is more mainstream, and less Hemmingway, shouldn't detract from your ability to entertain people. People are buying your books because they're a well-written fun escape, and you know that. That's why you're smart, and that's why you're doing better than the snobs who are trying to write meaningful novels about how plastic bags are the most beautiful things they've ever seen.
*End Rant* YES! He's such a good actor that I feel a little sheepish that every time I see him in something new I have to call my mom (or she calls me) to tell her that "creepy Josh" (the character he played on As the World Turns...and he WAS creepy!) is in something new. It's become some a goofy game between us. So yeah, backing up the William Fichtner love.
ReplyDeleteAaah!! This is the guy who played "Josh" on As the World Turns. The uncle who raped "Iva" when she was only 13. So...as a result of that whenever I look at him I just go "EWW". However, he was in a show called "Invasion" that was AWESOME and naturally got cancelled b/c all the shows I like get cancelled.
ReplyDeleteDidn't this actor get his start in John Carpenter's "The Fog" way back in the day?

I'm not sure if I took an unusual approach or not, but I had visited the National Museum Of Ireland - Archaeology in Dublin before I sat foot at the ancient site known as the Hill of Tara or the nearby Boyne Valley. And I think, particularly for the Hill of Tara, seeing the results of the excavations there first was incredibly beneficial. Unlike Newgrange, standing atop the Hill of Tara, there's honestly not much to see. The landscape is beautiful and the views breath-taking, but what one sees above ground is precious little. But it's an important site in Irish history both known and legendary. Because it's quite literally the high ground for miles to see, it's been an important spot to hold for thousands of years. In comparatively...
Life is full of happy surprises. After just over a decade working in the 9 to 5 cube world, I threw caution to the wind to follow my dreams of being a full time visual artist. That was five years ago! Is it easy? No, but something truly worthwhile is rarely simple. My body of work is wide ranging from photographic scenes of far away places, more near and dear locations, and more fanciful artwork. It's all crafted with a heartfelt love for finding the beauty in little captured moments. My artwork also hangs on walls near and far from private homes to businesses who have chosen to decorate with my art. Whether you've purchased one piece or a house full or you simply admire and share with your friends, your patronage of my art is...
