I am torn between new vintage sweetness and modern technological convenience. Anyone have experience with any of the following:
1. Fender Vintage Series 59 Bassman Limited Edition
2. Fender 65 Super Reverb Reissue
3. Fender Super Champ XD
I like the 1st two for obvious reasons, but I want to get some info first hand, if possible. I like the Super Champ because is has tubes, a line out, built in delay, and you can use two stacked, one set dark and one bright; modularity. I had a rig like that in the early 90's, but I can't remember the model of the amp (Fender). It had the same configuration.
Anyway, any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Squoogle is a site I managed to miss until my good friend pointed it out to me. It's another nicely put together place to drop links to your social media articles. I used to just make a squidoo page and just bookmark it here and there, but now I got a private list of places that will take my lens. Currently Squoogle offers only these few sites;
- Gather
- Squidoo
- Hub Pages
- Associated Content
- Launchtags
These social media and social article sites are a great place to build links on due to the social nature that Google is loving right now. As long as you make your pages quality and well written you have nothing to lose. If anyone has anymore sites to submit your pages to add them into the comments and I will add them to the list.

Cairo – Population and development in the Arab region were issues discussed this week in Cairo, during a three-day conference that ended with a declaration highlighting the need to empower women, promote gender equality, and step up efforts to reach the Millennium Development Goals.
"The status of women is the measure of a nation," said Sima Bahous, Regional Director of Arab States from the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) at the opening of the event. "A truly developed and truly dignified nation cannot be one in which more than half of the population is marginalized. A nation that is stable and that is strong is one that is built by all people."
The conference theme "Development and Population Dynamics in a Changing Arab World" focused on poverty and income disparities, social exclusion, addressing the needs of young people and the elderly. It is the second time Cairo hosts talks about linking population dynamics to positive change.
In 1994, the city welcomed the International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD), also staged by the UN. The event became a milestone in articulating a new vision about the relationships between population, development and individual well-being. "Nearly 20 years ago, here in Cairo, a light of hope was sparked for the millions of women and youth around the world who faced injustice, discrimination, inequality or violence," Bahous said.
People as bridges to development
The challenges related to the status of women and girls were also in focus this week in Cairo, as well as ensuring universal access to sexual and reproductive health services and unmet needs of women for family planning.
"There really can be no peace, no prosperity, and no progress without the full and equal participation of women and youth. There will be no democracy when rights are denied, when opportunities are curtailed and when voices are silenced. And the time to act is now. The region is changing and stakeholders across the region have an unprecedented opportunity to move towards a brighter future," Bahous added.
More than 350 people took part in this Arab dialogue, among them political leaders, members of the civil society, academia and leading development experts. The event was organised by the United Nations and the League of Arab States.

'Politico' -- How to Engage Women Donors
Money gap: Why don't women give?
· By ANNA PALMER and TARINI PARTI | 7/22/14 5:02 AM EDT
For all the progress women have made in Congress and in elections, they are practically sitting out the new game that is redefining American politics: big money.
It's not that women want to leave it to men like Sheldon Adelson and Tom Steyer to sidle up to the table to shape important races and party politics. Rather, many fundraisers are learning that successfully collecting cash from women takes a different approach than doing so from men. In interviews, more than a dozen fundraisers, donors and political consultants said that when they reach out to women they bump up against deep cultural, strategic and logistical challenges that contrast markedly with how money has always been extracted from men.
· Among them:
Wooing women takes more of a personal touch. They want more of a relationship with the candidate and a better understanding of where their donations are going.
Many women are motivated by solicitations about "women's issues'' like abortion or breast cancer research, but often women are turned off by not hearing about other issues, like the economy or health care.
Women expect to attend the same events as their male counterparts, not teas or "women's events."
Yet even as they identify more effective ways to woo female donors, fundraisers have a long way to go. Many believe that as top male donors pull further and further away, the next few years will become a critical period in the fight to close the gender and money gap.
The top 20 male donors gave a combined $62.6 million, so far this cycle. That's nearly six times the $11.2 million that top female donors contributed over the same time period, according to a Center for Responsive Politics review of contributions made through July 10 to federal candidates and committees that disclose their donors.
Both parties see the long-standing trend getting worse. And they are investing in efforts to get women to open their wallets for the obvious reason — get new donors to write big checks so even more money fills political war chests.
"I'm trying to change the numbers," said Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.). "I purposely take time to reach out to women, speak directly with them on priorities, to engage them and get women to understand that decisions are made in Washington every day and if they aren't a part of it they may not like the results."
One of the biggest challenges identified by fundraisers and other observers is stylistic. The strategies long used to get men to write political checks aren't as effective at inducing wealthy women to give, too.
Wooing female donors takes a more personal touch: Often they want more of a relationship with candidates or outside groups and to have a clear understanding of where their money is going, according to several fundraisers and donors.
"Women often appreciate a relationship. They appreciate knowing where their money is going, where it is going to be used, so they can feel good about their investment," Gillibrand said.
Gillibrand said she believes men dominate the political money scene because they continue to be more involved in politics across the board than women. While there are more female elected officials than ever before, men make up nearly 82 percent of members of Congress, for example. She's trying to change the equation with her Off the Sidelines political action committee and a commitment to reach out to more women. Gillibrand's PAC has raised $3.6 million so far this cycle and has doled out more than $400,000 to nearly 50 female House and Senate candidates.
As a fundraiser for Annie's List in Texas, Amber Mostyn said she knows it takes more work for women to open their checkbooks.
"The trust factor is really important. We try to put our candidates in front of them as much possible. Political giving — especially large donations — is a newer endeavor for women, so they need a greater level of trust than men. "
Republicans have also worked to engage women in a more holistic fashion.
Fundraisers say it's important not to talk to women just about so-called women's issues when seeking contributions. While some donors are motivated by causes like abortion or federal funding for breast cancer research, many also want to hear about the economy, health care and other issues.
Republican fundraiser Lisa Spies, who was the director for Women for Romney Victory, said the group's success — it blew past its $10 million goal, raising $23 million — was in large part because it engaged high-level female donors across the board. Members of the national committee, who were required to raise or contribute $100,000, were briefed by the most senior Romney campaign aides, were asked to attend several donor meetings in Boston and to travel to retreats in places like Utah.
"We gave the women the same access, if not more," Spies said, noting that women were able to interact with top aides like pollster Neil Newhouse. "You weren't just being talked to, you were being a part of the conservation."
Another major hurdle: time. Moving up the political food chain means not only cutting checks but fundraising and bundling political contributions for candidates.
Persuading women to devote a significant amount of their free time is a challenge, considering that they might already be busy with family, work and other obligations. Certainly men face the time crunch, but sources noted women mention the problem more often.
"You can't turn it over to professional fundraisers if you really want to be successful," said veteran Republican operative Bobbie Kilberg, who has increasingly helped raise money for presidential candidates. "You have to decide you are going to take the time and energy and make the personal appeals and make the personal calls."
Kilberg, head of the Northern Virginia Technology Council, said she and her husband raised $4.1 million for Mitt Romney in 2012. This cycle, she has hosted events for politicians like Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin and New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez. In addition to blasting out emails for the fundraisers, Kilberg said she sends 700 to 800 personal follow-up emails for events.
"I spend a lot of time on it, and therefore I'm very selective," Kilberg said of hosting events and raising money. "I don't ride horses and I don't play golf. I have two hobbies: One is my grandkids, the second is political fundraising for people I believe in."
Heather Podesta, a major Democratic donor and founder of one of the top Washington lobbying firms Heather Podesta + Partners, said that she's been able to grow as a fundraiser as part of her political and professional life. Podesta wrote her first political check to Rep. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) in 2002. Since then, she's written checks to dozens of politicians and started asking her network in 2004 to contribute to then-Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry, for whom she raised $100,000.
Podesta has only increased her giving and fundraising. She has doled out more than $60,000 to candidates for federal office, sitting lawmakers and other committees in the 2014 election cycle, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. She is also one of the few women who contribute to super PACs, cutting $25,000 to the Senate Majority PAC and $10,000 to House Majority PAC in checks over the same time period.
"It's been something that I've been able to braid into my life, and it's a way where I can be helpful to candidates and the causes that I support," Podesta said.
The rarefied circle of elite donors is still male-dominated.
The circle of top women givers on both sides of the aisle is small and many have known one another for years.
"It is absolutely male-dominated, and you very quickly get to know the key women donors nationally," Podesta said. "There are certain women in New York and Boston who you just know you will see over and over again. They not only write big checks, but they also bring other people to the table."

Harry Redknapp won't sell QPR goalkeepers Julio Cesar and Rob Green
QPR manager Harry Redknapp is determined to keep goalkeepers Julio Cesar and Robert Green at the club this month.
Last Updated: 25/01/13 5:23pm
Cesar has been linked with a loan move to Real Madrid following an injury to their goalkeeper Iker Casillas, while Nottingham Forest are reportedly targeting Green as a replacement for Lee Camp.
But both have proven their worth for Rangers in recent weeks, Cesar putting together a string of fine Premier League performances and Green keeping the club in the FA Cup with a brilliant display at West Brom.
And Redknapp said: "I don't want to sell Cesar or Green. They're two good quality keepers. They're our backbone. We need to keep them here.
"Cesar is a top keeper and you can understand why people would want him, but we've not had any enquiries."
Redknapp landed Loic Remy earlier this month, but a move for Yann M'Vila proved unsuccessful and Ryan Nelsen is leaving for the MLS at the start of February.
Further recruitment is the target and Redknapp admitted he is interested in South Korea defender Yun Suk Young, who will need to apply for a work permit.
He said: "I can't let anybody go unless we get some players in. We need to strengthen, not weaken the side and we have been trying.
"I haven't been home for 12 days. (My wife) Sandra said she'd forgotten what I look like. I said I look like Paul Newman. In my dreams!"

Brioche is a French bread made out of eggs and butter. I remember every morning getting a brioche from the neighborhood bakery when I was a student in Paris. It tastes very buttery, slightly sweet and it has a fluffy texture.
I made some pizza today and I had some dry active yeast left. We got some Asian powdered coconut candies from the Asian market and I had a few knick-knacks like pandan paste from the pantry. I haven't baked in a while so I decided to make something original and give a twist to the traditional brioche.

Beginning in 2014, large commercial buildings in Minneapolis must report energy and water use annually to comply with a new ordinance city leaders approved recently intended to increase energy awareness. The ordinance is a tool that uses market forces, rather than performance or design mandates, to motivate owners and tenants to invest in efficiency improvements, ultimately saving energy, lowering energy costs, reducing pollution and spurring local green jobs. Commercial buildings account for roughly 35% of greenhouse gas pollution in Minneapolis.
"This ordinance acknowledges that buildings have a tremendous impact on greenhouse gas pollution," said Mayor R.T. Rybak. "The long-term intent is to work toward city targets around reducing greenhouse gas pollution while supporting the potential for energy savings, local economic activity and local green jobs."
"This kind of transparency builds on our strengths in Minneapolis around energy efficiency," said Council Member Elizabeth Glidden, author of the ordinance and chair of the Regulatory, Energy and Environment Committee. "Other cities' experiences with disclosure requirements are showing that they will result in lower energy costs for businesses."
The City of Minneapolis and other public entities will lead by example and begin publicly disclosing energy and water use in their buildings larger than 25,000 square feet starting in 2013. Private commercial buildings larger than 100,000 square feet will begin reporting June 1, 2014, and publicly disclosing in 2015, and private commercial buildings larger than 50,000 square feet will begin reporting June 1, 2015, and publicly disclosing in 2016.
The required free software, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Portfolio Manager, measures the building's energy and water performance and generates a score and other metrics, similar to a fuel economy rating on a vehicle. The system takes into account such information as building age, operating hours, workers per square foot, occupancy rates and space usage. (Scoring models assume buildings with higher intensities of activities use more energy; more intense uses do not necessarily result in lower scores.)
The city will partner with the Center for Energy and Environment to offer training for building owners starting in early 2014, before the first reporting deadline. The Center for Energy and Environment is a nonprofit that specializes in commercial energy efficiency solutions. A city website will guide building owners and managers through what is needed to comply and how to use the required software. While the City does not require energy efficiency improvements, it will guide building owners toward rebates and loans for retrofits.
Cities that already have this requirement include Austin, Texas; New York; Philadelphia; San Francisco; Seattle; and Washington, D.C.

Secure and seamless Internet connections are required to provide customers with services for IoT devices and products.
The key point is the wireless connection quality and how to measure, test and evaluate it.
Anritsu builds the essential test and measurement instruments for assuring wireless communications quality and plays a key role in supporting customers and society with measurement solutions for leading mobile broadband technologies.
IoT is a collection of things in our everyday environment that are connected to the Internet to offer previously unimagined services.
Commercial deployment of IoT services will stimulate an explosion of innovation in many fields, including self-driving vehicles, medical and health care, insurance, transport, energy, manufacturing and industrial plants, distribution, agriculture, health emergency medical services (HEMS), and more.
The recent appearance of various new products and services is expected see further rapid growth in new markets. The various things (IoT products and devices) connected to the Internet in this IoT market use wireless communications, etc., to handle data captured by sensors before transmission via the Internet to data centers (servers). These servers use AI to analyze the data and then transfer the results via the Internet to other IoT devices and smartphones, etc.
For example, a smartphone can be used to switch on a home air conditioner and set a temperature remotely so the rooms are at the right temperature when people get home.
The wireless communications technologies used in the IoT market include 5G, LTE, NB-IoT, Cat-M, wireless LAN (Wi-Fi and WLAN), Bluetooth®, sub-GHz bands, and more. 5G, LTE, NB-IoT and Cat-M are cellular-type wireless communications used by smartphones, etc., whereas wireless LAN (Wi-Fi, WLAN), and Bluetooth are connectivity-type wireless communications methods. These wireless communications methods are regulated by various standard organizations to assure the communications quality to be maintained.
Additionally, there are also national laws regulating wireless communications to assure a stable radio environment by limiting radio interference as much as possible and to promote better use of frequency bands, etc.
IoT devices and products with built-in radio communications functions must fully comply with wireless standards for assuring wireless communications quality as well as with national radio standards.
For example, the functions of smartphones, repeater equipment (IoT Gateways, Access Points), IoT air conditioners, etc., must satisfy the performance (communications quality) defined by the wireless communications standards (LTE, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth).
Development and production of IoT devices and products requires evaluation of device wireless communications in the actual usage environment to assure that the communications quality is maintained (satisfies values defined by the standards).
Implementing this process assures the customer's IoT product quality and separates these makers' products from those of other makers who do not evaluate wireless communications quality, resulting in higher brand recognition for the former group.

近来,还针对5G 应用进行商业考察和测试,以便运用于各物联网市场领域(实现5G/物联网应用)。5G凭借其高速传输、低延迟和多个同步连接特性,不仅非常适合智能手机和平板终端应用,而且还适用于汽车、医疗/保健、安全、保险、建筑、分销、工业、林业/农业/渔业、旅游、零售服务、娱乐 (VR/AR)、铁路和公共汽车客运、公共基础设施(运输和桥梁等监控)、家用电器(个人电脑、游戏机、吸尘器、冰箱等)等应用。在娱乐等物联网/5G应用领域,利用无人机中内置的4K摄像头来拍摄非常逼真的画面,模拟飞行感觉 (VR) 的概念验证测试也已启动。在汽车领域,5G的出现加速了无人驾驶车辆和"互联汽车"的发展,促使新的参与者进入汽车制造市场。此外,随着产业结构的变化,5G 正在汽车市场引发一场重大变革。不仅是娱乐和汽车领域,其他工业领域也在针对这些类型的物联网/5G 应用进行商业考察和测试。采用物联网/5G 技术可在物联网、5G、云计算、大数据、AI、边缘计算等应用之间产生协同效应,从而涌现出以前无法想象且超出正常工业范畴的新服务和新应用。Anritsu 针对 5G 市场需求适时提供适用的高质量测量解决方案,支持新服务、新应用,协助客户开发新型 5G 产品。
Wireless communications technologies used by IoT include LTE, NB-IoT, Cat-M, Wireless LAN (Wi-Fi, WLAN), Bluetooth®, etc. Customers developing and manufacturing IoT devices must be able to choose the best wireless communications standard matching the features of their product under development. Key elements in selecting the wireless communications standard are the range, speed, and power consumption. For example, since a battery-powered IoT device must operate for long periods of time (some years without battery changes), power consumption is most important in this case.
Each communications standard has specific characteristics; Bluetooth for example features low speeds, short range, and low power consumption, making it ideal for use in cordless headphones and healthcare devices, such as sphygmomanometers and pulse rate monitors.
Wireless LAN (Wi-Fi, WLAN) features faster speeds than Bluetooth as well as longer range and higher power consumption, making it ideal for smartphones, tablets and smart home equipment, such as air conditioners and refrigerators.
Moreover, standards limited to IoT applications, such as NB-IoT, Cat-M, etc., use the same base stations as LTE for communications. As a result, they have many outside use cases, such as smart car rentals, smart agricultural equipment, smart ranching (animal tagging), etc.
Lastly, the recent focus on 5G as a wireless service featuring large data capacity, ultra-fast speeds, and low latency, is driving verification testing in many different fields, including self-driving vehicles in partnership with mobile operators, equipment vendors, and service providers, as well as 4K/8K HDTV, remote building monitoring, and more.
The recent focus has been on NB-IoT as an IoT wireless standard for cellular systems. Examples of services using NB-IoT now under examination include household gas meters and water meters in which an NB-IoT communications module can be installed to automate meter reading for efficient data acquisition, offering new services.
As shown in the above diagram, the NB-IoT wireless communications standard requires communications with the same base stations as used by mobile terminals including smartphones and terminals. Consequently, data read from gas and water meters passes from the NB-IoT communications module via the base station across the internet and finally to the data server where it is stored. This NB-IoT service is being offered by mobile operators and the same form of service will be offered in countries worldwide.
Since communications carriers are offering these NB-IoT communications services, as in the case of smartphones, tablets, etc., there is an extremely high need to assure the communications quality between the NB-IoT module and base station. The same is true for the Cat-M standard.
In the above-described example, the water and gas meters use a cellular wireless standard like NB-IoT or Cat-M, and makers developing and manufacturing the IoT modules offering these services must guarantee the wireless communications quality by checking any issues at each development, manufacturing, maintenance, and service stage.
Wireless LAN, also called WLAN, is not only built into modern personal computers and smartphones for connecting to the internet and sending/receiving email, but is also used by equipment like printers, and more recently by smart home electronics like air conditioners, refrigerators, etc. These home electronics communicate with an access point (AP) in the house to connect with the internet and provide various services.
The future is expected to see many more home electronics and "things" with built-in WLAN functions connecting to the internet via an AP.
With the appearance of these various convenient products, more users will probably encounter issues, such as inability to connect to the AP, slow connection speeds, and lack of connectivity at remote locations, resulting in more service calls to makers' support desks and increasing the number of warranty claims.
Some of these issues will be due to external factors unrelated to the product itself, while others will be due to product internal factors.
If you are interested in more details about these issues, refer to our Download Reference Materials.
Leaving these issues unresolved can harm the product reputation and company image, resulting in large business losses for makers.
Consequently, evaluating the performance of products with built-in WLAN functions before market launch is critical to business success.
As well as supporting NB-IoT and WLAN, Anritsu has measurement solutions and products supporting other wireless communications standards. For more details, refer to Anritsu's Solutions for IoT and to Product Range Supporting Wireless Standards.
Wireless communications are assumed to be the most common method used in the IoT market for connecting to the Internet. There is also news about using 5G, LTE, NB-IoT, Cat-M, wireless LAN (Wi-Fi, WLAN) and Bluetooth for these wireless communications and products featuring these technologies are appearing.
For example, there are already many smart home appliances, such as cleaners and air conditioners, using wireless LAN (Wi-Fi, WLAN).
Anritsu measurement solutions (instruments) support all these wireless communications including LTE, NB-IoT, Cat-M, wireless LAN (Wi-Fi, WLAN) and Bluetooth.
Introduction of Anritsu's provided solution for wireless communication.

Leslie Uggams, LeVar Burton, Ben Vereen and More to Revisit ROOTS at Museum of the Moving Image, 2/4
Tony and Emmy Award-winning actress, singer, and recording artist Leslie Uggams, along with actors LeVar Burton, Ben Vereen, and Louis Gossett, Jr., will make several appearances on February 4 and 5 in conjunction with the February 5 PBS airing of a Pioneers of Television segment which examines three early miniseries including the legendary ROOTS. As four of the stars of ROOTS, based on Alex Haley's novel "ROOTS: The Saga of an American Family," Uggams, Burton, Vereen and Gossett, Jr. will discuss their involvement in this ground-breaking television series and the impact it still has 36 years later.
On Monday, February 4 at 7 p.m., the cast members will participate in "Making Roots, and Making TV History," a discussion at the Museum of the Moving Image in Astoria, NY. David Thoms, VP of Programming at PBS, will moderate. On Tuesday, February 5 at 8 p.m. the Pioneers of Television segment - featuring the miniseries ROOTS, The Thorn Birds, and Rich Man, Poor Man - will air. The stars will also be making appearances on various national radio and television talk shows during the week.
ROOTS, winner of the Golden Globe for Best Television Series Drama, debuted in 1977 and broke all existing viewer ratings. The final episode was watched by 100 million viewers and still ranks as the third most watched television episode of all time. For her stirring portrayal of Kizzy in the series, Uggams earned Emmy and Golden Globe nominations and a Critics Choice Award. Burton and Vereen were also nominated for Emmys for their performances as Kunta Kinte and Chicken George, respectively. Gossett, Jr. won the Emmy for his eloquent portrayal of Fiddler.
ROOTS forever changed American television. For the first time, TV viewers both white and black experienced a part of American history through the eyes of slaves. Today slavery is still an issue that has a strong presence in popular culture, as illustrated by the recent films Lincoln and Django Unchained. As the nation celebrates Black History Month in February, ROOTS serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of keeping discussions of that time in history alive.
"Making Roots, and Making TV History" is presented by the Museum of the Moving Image in collaboration with PBS' Pioneers of Television. The museum is located at 36-01 35 Avenue, Astoria. Tickets are $15 for the general public and $9 for museum members. They may be purchased online at www.movingimage.us or by calling 718-777-6800.

Listing for a flat fee in the MLS gives homeowners the same local Multiple Listing Service listing as a Realtor® except rather than charging a 6% commission, we charge a small up front fee. We have several flat fee MLS real estate listing plans for all types of By Owner sellers. This includes a contract-to-close representation discount MLS listing program.
Flat rate sellers only offer commission to the buyer's side (typically around 3%) and avoid the listing side by paying a small up-front fee.
For information on our flat fee listing process, read what by owner MLS sellers need to know prior to listing a home with GetMoreOffers.com. One reason for sale by owners prefer listing flat fee is that we advertise your number in the Multiple Listing Service so that the Realtors can contact you directly. We also guarantee that your home will be listed in your local MLS. This is important since agents will only search for homes for sale that are in their local farming area. Our advanced flat fee listing software verifies that all our MLS listings are active on Realtor.com, daily to make sure that buyers can find your home at all times. We list homes, vacant land and townhomes for a flat fee in your area MLS. Additionally, we provide flat rate listing services for REO, builders, rentals and commercial property. Looking to list a short sale for a flat fee in the MLS? We do that too, as well as listing homes for fellow Realtors located out of area.
About Get More Offers
Get More Offers evolved from our own personal experiences in the real estate market and our expertise in software development.
Our systems are advanced and user friendly from our seller control panel to our "offer and contract" management systems.
We provide a critical need for tailor-made MLS flat fee based real estate services that are technology based, straightforward, fairly priced, effective, and individualized. All sellers are different and have different levels of needs. We felt that everyone should not be forced into one box. We saw the need for a menu of services that would cater to all individuals and their individual needs. Hence, GetMoreOffers.com® was born. Our clients are by owners, builders, developers, commercial property owners and asset managers who list flat fee in the Multiple Listing Service.
The Association of Realtors'® mainstay pitch is "real estate is a local business". We agree and local Realtors® make up our Nationwide Network.
Many consumers said that they lacked faith and trust in Real Estate Agents in general. Unless they knew a Realtor® personally, they felt a certain amount of doubt about whether their Realtor® was putting their (the client's) best interest first. We wanted to eliminate that doubt, by providing discount MLS listing options that are standardized with listing management software that would make it possible for brokers and agents to efficiently maintain the listings and listing changes. Our MLS listing and management software saves the broker time and money. These savings are passed onto the customer as reduced real estate commissions.
Customer service within the GetMoreOffers.com® Network is extended to everyone…Realtors® looking for showing instructions, buyers looking to see a home, asset managers and our primary clients, the by owner MLS home seller. We support all of our clients with extended hours of technical support every day.
We created a flat fee MLS listing platform for by owner MLS sellers, brokers, agents, and asset managers which enables users to move offers, make listing edits, flag issues, and do so with proficiency and professionalism. If the issue exists, our listing platform has the solution. We spent several years developing the software that runs GetMoreOffers.com®
A GetMoreOffers.com® flat fee listing puts the seller in control of all aspects of the listing process. Whether a seller needs to change marketing programs, price, pictures, commissions, or property descriptions, this can all done on the fly.

Women's Results | Men's Results
CLINTON, Miss.—Senior Robert Willett placed second overall to earn First-Team All-Conference honors at the inaugural Southern Athletic Association Cross Country Championship, held earlier today at Choctaw Trails in Clinton, Miss. The BSC men finished fourth overall, while the women were sixth.
Willett ran the 8K course with a time of 25:09.52, three seconds behind Centre's John Kieffer who was crowned conference champion. Freshman Scott Wheat was BSC's second finisher at 20th, followed by freshman Jordan McKnight at 21st, junior Christian Clesi at 28th, senior David Olsen at 35th, sophomore Scotty Wild at 38th, and freshman John White at 43rd in the field of 78 runners.
For the women, freshman Kelsey Holdbrooks was the top BSC finisher at 16th with at 5K time of 23:59.68, followed by freshman Katie Ann Bass at 21st, sophomore Victoria Ports at 30th, sophomore Hallie Jordan at 47th, and senior Alexa Ruiz at 70th.
Both the Centre men and women won the team and individual titles today.
"I am very proud of the way our athletes competed at conference today," Head Coach Kenneth Cox said. "Our entire men's team ran personal bests and fought hard as a collective unit from the beginning of the race. On the women's side, the effort was unbelievable and it was great to see them fight for every mile. For our seniors, this was a very special day and I am happy for them as well. Robert continued to showcase his talent and leadership in the race, and he had a big day. Olsen also ran well and put together one of the best races of his career here at BSC. The best is yet to come for our programs and we are excited about the positive work that we continue to produce!"

Beautiful Waterfront House Remodel
A family converts its weekend waterfront getaway to a charming year-round home.
- « prev
- next »
- 1 of 13
Bob and Cheryl Rabbitt's waterfront getaway in Sherwood Forest, Maryland, has provided a scrapbook full of summer memories for their family since they bought the cottage in 2002. Situated a mere 20 miles from their primary home in Annapolis, the 1992 cottage is set on the Severn River in an established, almost century-old enclave of 400 homes. The now highly coveted development broke ground in 1913 and has rewarded its loyal population with unending camp activities and contagious camaraderie ever since. Lessons in sailing take place in the nearby waters. Neighbors know each other. A general store delivers daily necessities. The community has modern amenities but is charmingly arrested in time.
When Bob and Cheryl decided they and their four children had outgrown their Annapolis home, it didn't occur to them at first to occupy their getaway home full-time. (Even though Sherwood Forest is alluded to as a summer community, 65 percent of its residents stay there all year.) They shopped around elsewhere for a property that was a move up in size but couldn't find anything that suited them. Beautiful Annapolis neighborhoods yielded plenty of workable houses, but the people who lived in them seemed to vanish once the automatic garage doors closed. The Rabbitts kept returning to the thought that they wanted the sort of community vibe that their summer place provided--children playing outside, neighbors walking their dogs and stopping by to engage in chat.
That's when it dawned on them that with so much fun to be had in Sherwood Forest, it would be a shame to leave the friendly compound every year just because days were becoming shorter and the lush green lawns of summer were giving way to the fiery foliage of fall. So the Rabbitts decided to extend their stay--permanently. "We could have bought a house anywhere," says Cheryl. "But it wasn't just about the house. We were more interested in finding a neighborhood where people wanted to know each other and get together. Then we could always adapt the house if necessary."
So they ceased their hunt, committed to Sherwood Forest year-round, and pushed to complete a full, yearlong renovation. A former television reporter, Cheryl tackled the plans as she would an in-depth news story. Photos of residential exteriors, fabric swatches, and paint samples were assembled, filling files that she and Bob carefully perused in order to develop an aesthetic they could relay to the team of professionals- they hired, a talented trio composed of architect Catherine Purple Cherry, interior designer Kelley Proxmire, and builder Burt Winchester.
The couple understood not only that the architecture of the house required an expansion to comfortably lodge their family and its full-time activities but also that the exterior should retain the look of the coastal Northeast, particularly the shores of the Severn River. The interior presented a challenge, too. The house was outdated when they bought it. Boxy rooms and small proportions were passable for finite days spent during the summer months, but they wouldn't suffice for the comings-and-goings of their sporty young family all of the time.
The updated plan of the house included an expanded second floor with bedrooms custom-designed to reflect each child's personality and a modern open layout on the first floor. Rooms now coordinate so seamlessly that it is difficult to tell where one ends and another begins. The main level of the house features a living room punctuated with several sliding glass doors. When open, the doors expand the living room's size by joining it to a welcoming screened entry and dining porch. "The whole purpose of living in this picturesque location is to take advantage of the outdoors when weather permits," explains Cheryl. "The sliding doors allow us to move freely between the living room and the outdoor dining space, where we frequently take our meals."
To enhance the serene and scenic outdoor environment, the interior palette had to blend with the river that flows only steps away. Enter blue-and-white, that perennial favorite palette for waterfront homes. An updated scheme makes the main-level rooms appear as though they have been engulfed by an ocean wave--pretty cobalt, royal, and French blues drench furniture, fabrics, and walls. The only color addition is in the French Country kitchen, where notes of yellow create spirited accents on the wall, the bar stools, and the comfy, cushy window seat.
Sherwood Forest is no longer an excursion for the Rabbitt family, but a place where they are thrilled to spend 12 months a year.
"Our plan was to create a home our kids would want to return to with their families when they are grown," says Cheryl. "We had already lived in this house before, but it has a whole new life now. All of the aspects that we once appreciated for only three months a year we now celebrate every day."

A view of the living room prior to the makeover.
Interior designer Kelley Proxmire selected indoor/outdoor fabrics for the living room, then created interest by using florals, stripes, and contrasting piping and trim to twist the tried-and-true color scheme. "Blue-and-white isn't original, but it translates so beautifully," says Proxmire. "We played with scale on the fabrics and used mitered stripes so this version of blue-and-white would have its own signature." Furniture frames boast dark wood tones, a contrast to the crisp white woodwork and furniture in other main-level areas.

The kitchen's unusual shape prevented both an eating area and a working island, so Cheryl opted to combine the two. The white marble island top gets a sunny lift from French bar stools painted in blue and yellow and cushioned with checks of yellow and white.

A Threefer: Prompt #11, Saturday Night Fun, and Episode 1 of GenSpace Makeover
(1) Not being complete enough in backing up paper files with digital ones and digital ones with paper ones. The alert and "greenish-inclined" among you may be horrified at the second half. Why waste paper when it is better to have digital backups of digital copies? Well, it's because I'm a belt-and-suspenders kind of person, not to mention paranoid, so I indulge my paranoia in this aspect. In particular, I should have been more careful earlier to print out all e-mails with family and fellow researchers that have any connection to family research. Most of the time I did this, but I know there were lapses. One of my e-mail accounts is on AOL, and I used to use the old AOL "shell" for this. However, after a while this clunky application was wreaking havoc with my computer, so I finally gave up and switched to web-based AOL. However, none of my previous correspondence could be accessed from my browser. So … I learned my lesson. I hope.
(2) Putting binders and hanging files in awkward, hard-to-reach/see places. Two of my sets of bookshelves are actually 2' deep plastic storage shelves from Hope Depot; they hold a lot of stuff, but the stuff in the back is hard to see and reach, especially on the top shelves. As you can see from the second picture below, my genealogy/family binders are on that top shelf. Most of my actual file drawers in my office are filled with non-genealogy files (mistake #2-1/2), so my hanging files have been relegated to a cardboard box which has another cardboard box filled with something else on top of it.
(3) Having browser bookmarks (and 75% of these bookmarks are genealogy-related) on three different computers; the categories are similar, but no single computer has a consolidated list of bookmarks.
(4) Unnecessary duplication of files. I must have at least six "General Genealogy" paper files. I do have a separate file for genealogy forms and should consolidate or sort out the remaining papers.
(5) Not having a safe for valuable items. Like Cheryl Palmer at Heritage Happens, I keep important documents and precious mementos separate from my other genealogy files, but I still have them in a portable file box. (The idea is, if the house is burning down, I grab the cats and the file box and we're outta there.)
(6) Not having old photos properly stored, organized, scanned, and catalogued. Whether in albums or containers, they should all be located in one convenient place. I probably cannot even begin to address this problem until my office has undergone a complete makeover.
Above: My computer work area, with office supplies on the storage shelves to the left. On the wall above the desk is an icon of Sveti Ioann Rilski (St. John of Rila), a Bulgarian saint. Some people appeal to St. Anthony when they lose things. Me, I go to St. John of Rila; he looks like an absent-minded kinda guy, himself. To the left of him are some fairy-themed party favors I made for my older daughter's first-grade birthday party (she's now 19).
Above: Storage shelves with many of my genealogy resources and family binders. The bottom shelf contains framed documents and pictures and a couple of bins with loose pictures and other family mementos. (The second shelf from the bottom contains mostly music CDs that I have not yet added to iTunes. I simply cannot work without music.)
A hand-drawn diagram (not to scale!!) of my home office/genspace.
What's wrong with this picture? Lots of things. Things I intend to correct during the Year of the GenSpace Makeover! (But don't hold your breath.)
4 comments:
okay - so thankfully Im not the only one with a room thats just full to the top with stuff and I keep on saying "I'll get to it!" Love the idea of having party favors around that are 18 years old. No worries, none of us are coming for a visit right? You'll notice that I didn't participate in this edition of saturday night fun - with good reason! LOLReplyDelete
Greta your space looks neat and tidy compared to mine. Like Cindy, I didn't participate in that Sat. Night blog....I would have been too embarassed!!!ReplyDelete
Neat peek into your work space-and your thoughts on your research methods. My desk is so cluttered I'd hate for anyone to see it :)ReplyDelete
Ha! I guess I have no shame:). I think the only reason my mess is not worse is that I have only been doing genealogy for three and a half years. In my defense, Cindy, those party favors are only 13 years old! It was for a birthday party when my daughter was in first grade.ReplyDelete

Peter Baumgartner, Chief Commercial Officer and Abdul Qader Hussein Ahmed, Etihad Airways' Vice President, Government & International Affairs, welcomed prominent guests including His Highness, Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, President of the Dubai Civil Aviation Authority and Chairman of the Emirates Group, HE Sheikh Sultan Bin Tahnoun Al Nahyan, Chairman of Abu Dhabi Tourism & Culture Authority, Chairman Abu Dhabi Tourism, and Development Investment Company, HE Ambassador Michael Corbin, US Ambassador to the UAE and flydubai's CEO, Ghaith Al Ghaith.
