La Dama rossa uccide sette volte (The Lady in Red Kills Seven Times)
I remember not being overly impressed by La Dama rossa uccide sette volte the first time I saw it, but like most people, I only had access to the atrocious looking greek copy of Emilio Miraglia's 1972 giallo . When the stunning looking No Shame DVD showed up, I revisited the film and the improved presentation made me reevaluate the film and I now find it a very enjoyable genre entry. Fabulous soundtrack by Bruno Nicolai and great-looking poster art by Manfredo.
Etiketter: 1972, Emilio Miraglia, Manfredo

Lephalale The Musical is a musical play that a tells a story of Lephalale through music, dance and acting. The play was written by Bafedile Masasa (Evergreen Arts Centre-Lephalale) and directed by Thabang Ramabu (Polokwane). The first day of auditions took place on 11 November 2016 at the Ga-Seleka Community Hall and the selection process ended on 20 November 2016. The organization then embarked on promotional shows as part of marketing for the upcoming performances, the first promotion took place at Boxer Superstores in Lephalale town on the 18th of February 2017.
The story takes place in the village of Ga-Shongoane in a Kraal where a Grandmother (MmaMajadibodu) is taking her Granddaughter (Phuti) through a journey of exploring the heartbeat of the Bushveld. Phuti is very ignorant and lacks knowledge about her culture and where she comes from. As her Grandmother is telling here the history of Lephalale we see different dances from different cultures in the Lephalale area.
The play also touches the hardships of the past and also promotes social cohesion in the modern days. The show consists of 18 cast members and a band of five members by the name of Truetone. The band is from Marapong Township in Lephalale led by Joshua Setladi who is also the lead guitarist.

Robotics Spin-off Receives FNR's First Award for Innovation
Publié le vendredi 27 octobre 2017
Dr. Pouyan Ziafati, CEO of SnT social robotics spin-off LuxAI, has become the first recipient of the FNR's Outstanding Research-Driven Innovation award.
The award recognizes researchers who have endeavored to turn publicly funded research into innovations of a commercial or social nature. It was presented at the FNR's 2017 Awards Ceremony on Friday 27 October.
"We are very honoured to receive this award as it recognizes in particular our efforts to improve people's lives. We'd like to thank the FNR in general, and specifically Dr. Andreea Monnat, for their superb Proof-of-Concept Programme. Their support really enabled us to take this path with our research."
QTrobot speaks at Luxembourg's Autism Awareness day 2017
The 'AI' in LuxAI stands for Artificial Intelligence. "Robots that are supposed to interact with humans have to process a great deal of information very quickly, and adapt their behaviours according to the interaction," says Ziafati, who wrote his doctoral thesis on artificial intelligence and robotics at the SnT. "Our robot is the first social robot to come out of Luxembourg."
Ziafati and LuxAI's co-founder and Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Aida Nazariklorram have already received numerous prizes for the development of their robot, which they have called 'QT'. The key to their success is that they have made the technology accessible to health and education specialists on a mass scale. "Practitioners who want to teach a robot how to train stroke patients, for example, can't learn their way into programming," says Ziafati. "They need an interface through which they can programme the robot intuitively and naturally". LuxAI has therefore developed an easy-to-use programme based on the Android platform commonly used for smartphones. "With this interface, non-IT-experts have been able to program our robots for their specific purposes within 20 minutes. Our software lets anyone do it."
Dr. Marc Lemmer, Head of SnT's Technology Transfer Office, is delighted with LuxAI's success. "It has been a pleasure to see the development of their business. At SnT we put a lot of emphasis on turning research results into socially beneficial applications, and this is a perfect example. We aim to give our scientists the opportunity to be entrepreneurs as well as researchers, and the FNR plays a big role in helping us support them in taking this step."

Freebie for a homeowner
I am still here, my time just lately is spent at work, working overtime, doing favours for others (more on that another time) and trying to get my new place sorted. I am tired , aching and fed up but trying to keep my chin up and keep motivated. I recently enquired about the energy saving schemes and our local council is advertising free loft and cavity wall insulation for homeowners. So a lovely surveyor came round, and confirmed we meet the criteria and can have it done for free. Yes FREE !! Saving around £500 on the upfront insulation costs and then future savings on our energy bills. Its a refreshing change not to be knocked back for something. We are looking forward to having a toasty house in the winter. The lovely people are coming next week to complete the job.

Your Black World reports
Halle Berry is in court having yet another battle with her ex-husband, Gabriel Aubrey. In the center of the fight is their three-year old daughter, Nahla.
A judge refused Aubrey's request to end a requirement that a nanny be present when he has custody of Nahla in Europe. Aubrey is taking care of Nahla in Spain, while Berry is filming Cloud Atlas in Majorca.
Aubrey is only allowed three hours alone with his daughter and can take her to the park or shopping. The nanny must always be present when he does so. But Aubrey argues that the nanny is getting in the way of his relationship with his child. Berry is allowed to see her daughter for as long as she wants without supervision.
Berry and Aubrey ended their relationship in 2010 after five years together. Aubrey has been accused of being neglectful and verbally-abusive of his daughter, according to Berry and her witnesses.
The situation went to a head when Berry returned home from a trip in February, 2010 and found Aubrey in her home. She asked him to leave and threatened to call the police. The witness says that Aubrey then called Berry a "ghetto n*gger" and threw a chair against the wall.
Another friend of Halle's said that Aubrey had a problem with Aubrey's mixed race, claiming that he "never wanted her hair to be braided, and always said that Nahla was white."
Berry got angry with Aubrey when he was spotted at a Lakers game with Kim Kardashian. She didn't want Aubrey to be anywhere near the reality TV cameras, but Aubrey says that no cameras were present.

Trail & hunters
Because I live minutes from the Montour Trail in Jefferson Hills, walking on the trail has been something my dogs and I have enjoyed for more than a year now. We walk there almost every day.
During archery season, we saw hunters everywhere, standing behind trees. As if that was not bad enough, now there are hunters with guns in plain sight.
I believe hunting safety-zone regulations say hunters must be 25 yards away from the trail. I think that is way too close to the trail, which is supposed to be for walkers, runners and bicyclists!
I know hunters are not to shoot across the trail, but I certainly don't trust that if they had a shot at a deer, they would pass it up. I understand that the deer population needs to be thinned out. However, there are enough places to hunt where there are not walkers and dogs off leash.
I really think "no hunting" signs should be properly posted there. Or maybe they should post "walk at your own risk during hunting season" signs!

Christian Non-Profit Branded as 'Hate Group' Explains Why Americans Are Losing Trust in the Media
Last week, Democrats and two mainstream media outlets branded Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF), a Christian legal nonprofit which has won seven Supreme Court cases in seven years, an "anti-LGBT hate group." Worse, this "hate" designation comes from a terror-linked organization, the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC). ADF has demanded an apology and attacked this "media malpractice."
"Why is ABC and NBC willing to promote propaganda and cut and paste the Southern Poverty Law Center press release?" Kristen Waggoner, a senior vice president at ADF, asked Tucker Carlson on Fox News Friday night. "Americans are losing trust in the media for this very reason."
On Thursday, ADF Legal Counsel and Director of Communications Kerri Kupec demanded an apology and a retraction from ABC News. "ABC News has committed journalistic malpractice," Kupec declared in a statement.
"For ABC News to essentially cut and paste false charges against Alliance Defending Freedom by a radically left-wing, violence-inciting organization like Southern Poverty Law Center is a discredit to ABC News and to the profession," Kupec declared. "Americans' trust in the media is cratering, and the blatant bias and lack of professionalism that ABC attempted to pass off as news can only serve to confirm and intensify that distrust."
Last Tuesday, the SPLC published a press release demanding the remarks that Attorney General Jeff Sessions was scheduled to deliver that evening at an ADF gathering. "SPLC: Attorney General Must Release Remarks Given to Anti-LGBT Hate Group," read the release's headline.
"How can we trust that the nation's top law enforcement officer will protect all Americans when he's willing to meet behind closed doors with a group that supports criminalizing homosexuality and marginalizing LGBT people around the world?" asked David Dinielli, SPLC's deputy legal director. The release insisted that ADF is a "hate group" and others ran with the label.
"You can judge a person by the company they keep and tonight — Attorney General Jeff Sessions is choosing to spend his time speaking in front of one of the country's leading anti-LGBT hate groups," Democratic National Committee (DNC) spokesperson Joel Kasnetz said in a statement.
"ADF has been previously designated a hate group and Sessions' appearance at this event, as the top law enforcement official in the country, brings in to question whether the attorney general intends to protect all Americans," Kasnetz concluded, linking to the SPLC website's page on ADF.
ABC News' Pete Madden and Erin Galloway crafted this headline: "Jeff Sessions addresses 'anti-LGBT hate group,' but DOJ won't release his remarks."
Madden and Galloway cited the SPLC's "hate group" designation and disparaging remarks about ADF from multiple sources, but did not include any ADF response to the labeling or any reference to the criticism SPLC has received for engaging in such rhetoric.

Nutrition & Healthy Eating
The link between nutrition and learning is well documented. Good nutrition is essential for students to achieve their full academic potential, full physical and cognitive growth, and lifelong health and well-being. Developing healthy eating habits at a young age can reap benefits for a lifetime and schools play a critical role in helping children learn and practice healthy eating habits.
Think about it.
Children spend over six hours a day at school and many eat two or more meals there, which can be the majority of their daily caloric consumption. In addition, schools are places for teaching and learning and are the ideal setting for children to gain knowledge of proper nutrition and build comfort with healthy foods and eating patterns.
Think about it.
Children spend over six hours a day at school and many eat two or more meals there, which can be the majority of their daily caloric consumption. In addition, schools are places for teaching and learning and are the ideal setting for children to gain knowledge of proper nutrition and build comfort with healthy foods and eating patterns.
What can schools do?
- Serve school meals that meet all federal and state nutrition standards and are appealing to students. Nutrition standards have been strengthened for breakfast, lunch, and after-school snack program with the passage and implementation of the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010 that requires more fruits, vegetables and whole grain servings and limits the amount of sodium, sugar and fat in meals (see Laws & Regulations). School food service can develop and market kid-friendly recipes, mix up their menus and excite their student customers. They can utilize locally grown fresh foods and ensure students and families have input and can provide feedback on the program.
- Try using the Smarter Lunchrooms Scorecard for simple, no-cost or low-cost strategies that lunchrooms can use to increase participation, improve consumption of healthy food, and reduce food waste.
- Enforce competitive foods laws/regulations. Gone are the days when soda, candy and fried chips are allowed to be sold to students in vending machines, school stores and a la carte lines in the cafeteria. All Competitive Foods (foods/beverages sold outside of the reimbursable meals program) must meet strict state/federal nutrition standards. This includes school fundraisers like bake sales with brownies and cookies and other treats of low-nutritional value. Competitive foods that do not meet nutrition standards cannot be sold before, during and up to one hour after the school day (see Laws & Regulations).
- Provide comprehensive nutrition education. Schools must provide nutrition education to students and should model healthy messaging throughout the school setting. Nutrition lessons can be taught as part of a Health/Physical Education curriculum and also integrated into other subjects such as math, language arts and science in all grades.
- Make the school cafeteria a central place for nutrition education and promotion. Signage, food placement and promotion, celebrations, artwork and announcements can reinforce positive nutrition messages and increase positive perceptions of the healthy meals program.
- Ban advertising and marketing of foods/beverages that can't be sold in schools. If it can't be sold, it shouldn't be advertised or allowed to be marketed to students. Such practices undermine strong wellness policies and allow for commercialization of children.
- Plan only healthy school celebrations. Visit our new Healthy School Celebrations page for resources.

Deployment & Military Drill
Many students choose to serve while pursuing their degrees. Illinois accommodates your continuing service.
Your choice to serve should not negatively affect your academic progress at the University of Illinois. If you're one of the many students in the National Guard, Reserve, or inactive reserve components, Illinois recognizes that there's a chance you might be mobilized or recalled to active duty, or that there may be times when you need to miss class because your drill weekend is extended beyond your control. Students are responsible to keep their course instructor(s) informed of all military-related absences, but per campus policy, you may be eligible for accommodations in these circumstances.
This section outlines your rights and responsibilities under campus policy and the appropriate steps to follow should you miss class due to military service.
- What happens to my grades/classes if I'm called to active duty during the semester?
- What should I do if I am called to active duty during the semester?
- I'm supposed to graduate, but I was called to active duty. Now what?
- What happens to my student loans if I'm called to active duty?
- What if I need to miss class due to military obligations like monthly drill?
- What if I need to miss class due to Annual Training (AT)?
What happens to my grades/classes if I'm called to active duty during the semester?
In order to receive appropriate credit/grades and avoid negative impacts to their record, students ordered to active duty during the semester are encouraged to officially withdraw from the University following established withdrawal procedures.
If you withdraw from the University due to being ordered to active duty after completing the seventh week and before completing the twelfth week of the semester, you may be entitled to receive credit for one-half of each course in which you have attained a standing of C- or better at the time of withdrawal. Full credit is given if the withdrawal occurs after completing the twelfth week of the semester. For more information please refer to this relevant section of the Campus Code of Policies and Regulations.
What should I do if I am called to active duty during the semester?
Students who wish to officially withdraw from the University due to military orders must follow established withdrawal procedures. The following checklist is a guide to help you through the process.
Students must complete a Withdrawal from the University form which should be obtained from the Dean's Office in your College or Graduate Department. The form requires the student to obtain signatures from several campus offices and then submit a copy of the form to the Office of Student Financial Aid (OFSA) along with a completed VA Form 21-4138 (Statement of Support of Claim) indicating the reason for the withdrawal.
I'm supposed to graduate, but I was called to active duty. Now what?
If you are close to graduation when you receive orders calling you to active duty, there are two ways you may still be eligible to graduate.
First, if you already meet all requirements for graduation (including minimum scholarship requirements), except those that you would normally fulfill by completing the courses for which you are registered at the time of withdrawal from the University for active duty orders, you will receive full credit in those courses and may be recommended for a degree provided:
- You have been at the University for a minimum of two full semesters at Urbana-Champaign,
- You have completed the seventh week of that semester (sixth week in a twelve-week term or fourth week in an eight-week session),
- You have standing in the courses for which you are registered that, if maintained to the end of the semester, would satisfy the requirements for graduation.
If the withdrawal occurs before the completion of the seventh week of the semester (sixth week in a twelve-week term or fourth week in an eight-week session), you may be recommended for a degree upon passing examinations covering the first half of the subject matter of the courses in which you are then registered.
Second, if you are a senior eligible for continuing enrollment and you leave the University to enter military service during any semester of enrollment or interim between successive semesters, you may be recommended for a degree, at the discretion of your college and on approval of your major department, provided:
- You have progressed satisfactorily during your University registrations (according to the administrative officers in your college),
- You lack no more than one-sixteenth of the total credit hours required for a degree (typically about 7 or 8 credit hours, but depends on your degree requirements),
- You have been making continuous progress toward your degree.
You will not be considered eligible for this privilege if you have acquired hours under the provisions of the first case listed above.
What happens to my student loans if I'm called to active duty?
If you have direct loans that are in an in-school status, an in-school deferment status, or in a grace period status, you should call the Direct Loan Service Center at 1-800-848-0979 and request a "Military Grace Program" deferment. This option can extend the grace status of the loan up to three years and is only available to students withdrawing as a result of being recalled or deployed.
What if I need to miss class due to Annual Training (AT)?
Per campus policy, Annual Training (AT) and other normal training orders are treated differently from mobilization or recall to active duty orders. If these orders interfere with your normal progress during the semester, you are encouraged to formally request through your chain of command postponement of your orders until the summer or the end of the semester so that you can complete the courses in which you are enrolled. If your request for postponement is denied, then you may be eligible for credit/grades under the campus policy for military withdrawals.
Students who are members of the Active Reserve Forces (including the National Guard) called to active duty under normal training orders will not be granted academic credit for courses in which they are enrolled unless they have requested a postponement of such a period of active duty for training until the summer, and unless the University has received a verification that such a request was officially denied.
This requirement, however, does not apply if you are called to active duty as a result of national emergency or as a result of the mobilization of the Reserve Forces (including the National Guard).
What if I need to miss class due to military obligations like monthly drill?
For members of the National Guard and Reserves, there may be times when you miss a class or two due to a weekday drill or similar military training. If orders are not issued, the student must contact the Office of the Dean of Students and bring a signed letter (usually from the unit CO) that specifically outlines the date(s) on which the student was in a military status. The Office of the Dean of Students, upon verifying the letter, will complete an "Absence Letter Request" and email it directly to the student. The student will then submit the letter to the instructor, either in person or through email.
It cannot be emphasized enough that students are responsible to keep their course instructor(s) informed of all military absences.

More and more women are waiting until their 30s and 40s to have children. Actually, about 20 percent of women in the United States now have their first child after age 35. So age is an increasingly common cause of fertility problems. About one third of couples in which the woman is over 35 have fertility problems.
Aging decreases a woman's chances of having a baby in the following ways:

but the new M6 wheels are a close second. I do not like the brushed look with black accent on the M6 wheel and think that it most likely only would look good on the Black like Kai has. Too bad we can not morph these onto our own car somehow to get a better idea.

The M6 look very good on a black car (as is mine).
Kay or other experts, do you know if these rims (as they are 19") will fit with the brembo big brake kit as I now have the 20" Alpina wheels on my Z8.
Klaus Z8-NL
I don't think so, but it would be worth a try.Originally Posted by Z8-NL
Probably I could convince Kay to come over for a bottle of wine, and we give it a try...
...before we have the wine of course.
Best regards, Dieter

I think BMW got it right with the original wheels on our Z8s. I do have a set of AC Schnitzer type IIIs (silver, one-piece) on my M5 that I love, though.

No mods (except for new Alpine stereo)

I'd still love to see the lightened OE design in 19" that we kicked around back in the day. I'm so in love with my wheels, but I continue to believe that this project would have produced a beautiful match for what is more inline with what the car calls for.
As time goes by I too think that the 19" x 9" front and 19" x 10" rear would be the real ticket, but the liability issues of making a wheel are incredible, so sadly that isn't something that any of us could or should undertake.
I remember from the earlier go round that we'd need 20 buyers with around $10k each, cash up front, to get a legitimate company like BBS, who'd do the safety testing required. That was is the real barrier to entry.

Yes, it's a fantasy project, but I think they'd really work well. A little more length on the spokes would lessen the visual weight and certainly fill the wheel well more fully.
I am one of those purists who happens to love the look of the original wheel, even if they may be too heavy. Hindsight being 20-20, I agree a 19" wheel in the original style would have been even better, but the 18's look fine to me. If I were ever tempted to change my wheels, I would definately put the same wheels that Rifle has on his car on my car.
2014 Range Rover sport Autobiography
2013 Ford Raptor
2011 Porsche 911 turbo S coupe
Maybe we should try that in a few weeks. I don't think they work on the silver, but I'd be curious to see how they look on Stratus.

This afternoon, I took Cullen down to the High Museum of Art to see the exhibit of ancient art and artifacts from the Louvre. Over the next several months, we'll be learning a little about the first civilizations in Mesopotamia, Egypt, Greece, Rome and China. This exhibit covered much but not all of those. We're also really looking forward to the TerraCotta Warriors from China that will be coming within the next few months.
We have some hands-on crafty-type activities planned to go along with our history, which should be fun. Now when we sit down to write like a Sumerian on a clay tablet or with heiroglyphs like an Egyptian, we know first-hand what the real thing looks like!
There were some really amazing things included in this exhibit!!! The huge Tiber sculpture, partially pictured above, was absolutely stunning. Cullen was unexplainably fascinated with its feet. Well, they were pretty big! One of the most surprising items was an Egyptian sarcophagus for a cat. Can you tell I thoroughly enjoyed myself?
Before we left, we took a stroll through the folk art and contemporary exhibits, which were really big hits with Cullen, especially the odd glass sculptures. Looking around at everything, he announced, "This is the coolest!"

Some think that reciprocity is without qualification just, as the Pythagoreans said; for they defined justice without qualification as reciprocity. Now 'reciprocity' fits neither distributive nor rectificatory justice-yet people want even the justice of Rhadamanthus to mean this:
Should a man suffer what he did, right justice would be done -for in many cases reciprocity and rectificatory justice are not in accord; e.g. (1) if an official has inflicted a wound, he should not be wounded in return, and if some one has wounded an official, he ought not to be wounded only but punished in addition. Further (2) there is a great difference between a voluntary and an involuntary act. But in associations for exchange this sort of justice does hold men together-reciprocity in accordance with a proportion and not on the basis of precisely equal return. For it is by proportionate requital that the city holds together. Men seek to return either evil for evil-and if they cana not do so, think their position mere slavery-or good for good-and if they cannot do so there is no exchange, but it is by exchange that they hold together. This is why they give a prominent place to the temple of the Graces-to promote the requital of services; for this is characteristic of grace-we should serve in return one who has shown grace to us, and should another time take the initiative in showing it.

The Alamo
Dear American Movie Channel (AMC),
Thank you for resolving an issue I had been having; What to do for the Thanksgiving Guinea Pig Theatre. What movie has Thanksgiving in it, or a great turkey scene? I just couldn't come up with anything epic enough.
But then came Sunday, in which no good television ever exists and wife forced me to watch Billy Bob Thornton in this truly dreadful movie.
But, a moment of magic.
Billy Bob Thornton (as Davy Crockett) proclaims in the midst of a (terrible) dramatic monologue (one of many, thank goodness), "YOU PASS THE TATERS and I PASS THEM RIGHT BACK."
Let me emphasize that line of dialogue took place in a film of Momemtous American HIstory by an American Legend.
Nothing speaks more to me of what Guinea Pig Theatre wishes for us all on this Thanksgiving Day; that someone dramatically refuses some mashed potatoes but not before giving a heartfelt and sentimental backdrop story for why.
Happy Thanksgiving!
EDIT: Why didn't anyone tell me it was sized all wrong? click on the image to go to flickr to see it big and awesome.

Murder By Death
(Murder By Death: matt, adam, sarah, dagan)
Murder By Death is a super awesome band. I mean, totally Top Shelf.
If you're socially networked you can listen to some tracks here.
Word on the street is that they actually like Guinea Pig Theatre.
So I'm totally throwing out some return love - I made them a part of the troupe!
I'm also sending them a print of the Big Trouble in Little China episode of GPT. It's, supposedly, their favorite flick, and I'm happy to share it with them.
Seriously, go listen! NOW!
Also, to my design friends they have a contest going where you can do the cover art for their upcoming split 7" - you don't wins money, but you do wins free music.
I'm totally getting in on it. Information is on their front page, which you can link to above and in my links.

Can't Hardly Wait
Special K is the all time best.
I was watching just the Kenny segments, which I once watched with great amusement, but if you JUST watch the bits where he's trying to pick up girls at the party it's the most tragic shit ever.
"Can't Hardly Wait" is not just a 90s teen movie, it's also a kick-ass Replacements track.
Pretty much all the Replacement tracks are kick-ass, though.

"We offer honest, professional real estate consultations to sell your home quickly while maximizing your profits and get you the very best deal when buying a San Diego property" Todd Armstrong Todd was born in Northern Kentucky just across the suspension bridge from Cincinnati Ohio.

During a highly successful 22 plus career in Naval Aviation, Todd decided to start his own business and be his own boss. With a love for architecture, design and working with people, real estate was a natural choice. He started his career in early 1999 and immediately found success representing luxury homes in Rancho Santa Fe, California. His first sale turned out to be one of his largest; a brand new 14,000 square feet French Manor in Fairbanks Ranch. After that sale, he was hooked on real estate! In a few years he opened his own company with a partner and quickly rose to the top of that company with both the number of homes sold and total sales. His early success can be directly attributed to his extreme dedication, superb negotiation and communication skills and high quality service he provides to his clients.

4: Testimonials "Todd Armstrong is a consummate professional and a gentleman. Todd assisted me in selling a house that was part of an estate of which I am executor. Throughout the process, I was impressed with his knowledge of the real estate business, his integrity, and his ability to communicate clearly. He referred me to an excellent contractor, and made valuable recommendations regarding house renovations that were needed. He returned my calls promptly, answered my questions completely, and kept me informed at all stages of the process. He was very well organized and did an excellent job of guiding me through the detailed paperwork. The result of all his hard work was that the house sold in three weeks, and he earned my eternal respect, gratitude, and admiration. Gene Morones "Todd helped my wife and I buy our first house a little over a year ago. We are notoriously tough customers and have very high expectations when it comes to getting what we want. We searched for the right house for more than a year. We made multiple offers and counter offers in a negotiating process that took months. We worked with two mortgage brokers that he recommended and got the best interest rate out there. We closed escrow on time which was very important to us. Todd was the right man for the job. He was there every step of the way and was very knowledgeable, patient, and professional. No question was too small, no request was to large. I would recommend him to my closest friends and family. He's the best. Thanks again Todd! R.J. Wackerman"
5: "Two years ago, as the San Diego market started to soften, Todd helped me trade an investment property for a new and upscale townhouse in a much sought after location. In order to avoid tax consequences, he suggested a 1031 exchange and directed me to the appropriate company for such a transaction.Todd fielded my many phone calls without a whimper. I now have a real estate agent for life." Sandy Dufek "Todd listed my condo during a very rough patch in the real estate market. He was great in keeping me updated on any activity or interest in my condo, and even went beyond the call of duty by watering my plants and keeping my place tidy when I was out of town. We sold the place in a month (after it had already been on the market with another agent for 4 months). I recommend Todd with the utmost enthusiasm. Thanks again Todd! Mina Yang "I have worked with Todd Armstrong for over 5 years and I can say without hesitation his knowledge and professionalism as a real estate professional is excellent and it would be my pleasure to recommend Todd. Jim Doan President Pacific Capital Mortgage | "Buying a home from 3000 miles away could not have been easier. Todd Armstrong is a true professional and a dedicated service provider. During my adventure to find a home in 10 days he delivered quality service and was true to his word. Todd does what he says. My adventure started with three different Realtors all of whom seemed to not have the time to answer their phone much less realize that I needed personalized service due to my situation. His proven 56-step method allowed me to find, write a contract, and close on a property all with in the span of four weeks. Todd treated me with respect unlike the other agents that only want to sell to a certain upper level clientele or price range. With Todd it did not matter if I had a seven-figure budget or a 200,000 dollar price range, he was more concerned with what I wanted and needed. Together we were able to work as a team and combined with respect and organizational skills, his ability to deliver, blew me out of the water. He is for lack of better words, a "closer" who possesses the negotiation skills that make other agents look like a chump. I would not hesitate to refer any of my closet friends, colleagues or even my grandmother to Todd to purchase a home. As a first time homebuyer I could not have asked for a better experience.

8: Effective Marketing Gets Results! Real results in real estate have one thing in common, effective and dynamic marketing! My aggressive marketing plan utilizing cutting edge technology, print ads and a saturated Internet presence is unmatched in the industry. Don't believe me, Google "Todd Armstrong real estate" then google my competition. | Text Home info Technology Unique sign posted on your property that allows buyers to text the number for your property and receive a text message on their phone within 10 seconds with information about your home, photos and agent's contact info. Best of all, I capture their phone number instantly and get notified by a text message and an email message so I can immediately follow up with the prospective buyer. It works 24 hours a day and I'll never miss a "Hot Lead". | Internet Studies show that over 87% of buyers today start their property search on the Internet. That's why I market your home heavily on the net through dozens of real estate websites such as Realtor.com, Zillow.com, Craigslist.com and many more. I only use Professional quality advertisements on Craigslist, Zillow and Trulia, not the standard "drab" ads. Check out some of the dozens of websites I advertise on.
9: Get Found! Who cares if you have a great looking website. If people cannot find you on the Internet, then it is a waste of time. I have hired the leading Internet real estate marketing company to professionally manage a lead generation site specifically for our market. Maximum online exposure of your home is the name of the game! | Search Homes From Your Cell Phone Buyers can be in any neighborhood and view detailed home information at the touch of a button. The GPS technology in the mobile phone, locates users and pulls up addresses and information on property listings in their immediate area. Sales price, square footage, tax information, beds/baths, interior and exterior features and pictures become available instantly in the palm of their hand. When they want to see a property, they simply hit a button and contact me immediately. www.HomesForCell.com | Listing Cards Its a business card and property flyer in an easy to pass around size. The ListingCard is the same width as a business card an 3/4" taller. These compact real estate listing flyers are two sided full color. Printed on a top quality card stock for optimal first impression. Have your property flyers with you all the time.
12: Email Digital Flyer Blast State-of-the-art digital flyer email blasted to over 6,500 San Diego agents and brokers. I also email flyers to buyer/client database. See an actual digital flyer at http://armstrong.vflyer.com | Yard Signs Large, Clear, standard post (yard) sign plus unique sign riders to prompt buyers to text to get more information or call my team members directly. | My Real Estate Blog How do I get high rankings on search engines? I publish a regular real estate blog at www.activerain/tarmstrong. By posting articles and new listings of YOUR home, my website and your Home gets maximum exposure on the major search engines. | Open Houses Open Houses are important in exposing potential buyers to your home, however, they are rarely effective in actually resulting in the sale of your home. I will do open houses every Sunday from 1-4 pm as permitted by your schedule. Evening Open Houses from 5-8pm during the week have also proved effective. | Social Networking Sites This is relatively new to real estate advertising, but I've been using it for years. Popular sites like Facebook, Linkedin and Twitter is changing the way we advertise. I can post your home for sale on my facebook page and with one click of a button, thousands of people, friends, buyers, clients and fellow Realtors are looking at beautiful photos of your property. I've received almost a dozen referrals this year alone because of Facebook.
13: Inclusion in the MLS The most important tool for marketing your home is to include it on the MLS. Why not have every agent in San Diego help you sell your house? By placing your home in the MLS, it is automatically listed for sale in numerous websites like Realtor.com. I also include your home featured with professional ads on Craigslist, Zillow.com, Trulia.com, Vflyer.com, Large Brokerage websites, Sotheby's International Realty website, and too many others to list. | Sub-Domain Names & Referring Websites I actually own dozens of websites and domain names that all point to my real estate website. This ensures maximum saturation to all the major search engines. It all boils down to "unique visitors" to my website. I currently am experiencing thousands of website hits a month. With unique website statistics, I can see where my advertising is working and what is not. | Broker Caravan & Pitches One of the first steps in marketing your home is conducting a "Broker's Caravan" or "Broker's Open House". Soon after listing your home, I will attend the weekly broker/agent meeting to "Announce" and "Pitch" your home to all the local brokers and Realtors. This verbal pitch allows me to hand out flyers, discuss all the great aspects of your home and generally network with my fellow Realtors and see if they have buyers that may be interested in your home. Immediately following the pitch, I will host a catered open house for all the local Realtors and their clients. This gives the Realtors a "First Look" at your home so they can preview your home for their clients. One of the most important benefits of a Broker's Caravan is we can get valuable and professional feedback from all the Realtors about the list price and condition of the property.
14: Custom Video Virtual Tour We offer a custom professionally shot video of your home's interior and exterior. Buyers can pick up these custom video CD's from your home or see them on the MLS and various Real Estate websites. I use Preview First for all my Virtual Tours. | Full Color Flyers & Direct Mail Postcards I provide full color high gloss, high quality flyers on heavy card stock featuring all the best aspects of your home with professional photos. Hundreds of high-quality, direct mail pieces mailed out to announce your home as a "New Listing", "Sold" or "Price Reductions".
15: Professional High Quality Photos You would be surprised how many agents skimp on this most important marketing tool. I only use high quality digital photos for all my properties. In order to properly showcase your most valued asset, you must use great photos. I use them in my virtual tours, digital email flyers, print ads and my website. Many buyers will see a home online but will pass it up based of poor photos. You can expect nothing but the best from my team. You have to ask yourself, if an agent skimps on this cost, what else are the skimping on?
16: Pricing Your Home Do your research on the value of your home. Not what you think its worth but rather, what the current market value is. You may "think" your house is worth a million dollars, but if a buyer today is not willing to pay that price, then it will never sell. Remove your seller hat and put on your buyer hat. What would you pay if you walked into your house? Do not let emotions cloud your judgement. Think like a buyer now. Homes values are based on what a buyer TODAY would be willing to pay for a home similar to yours. It does not matter what you paid for it 2 years ago. That fact is irrelevant. This is why you need to pay attention to the facts. The facts are current comparables that have SOLD near your home recently. (Within 3 months is best). I have compiled these comparables for you. The homes I present to you are very similar in size and condition to yours. We should be able to adjust pricing and come within 2% to 5% of your home value. Its important to have an agent that is familiar with your neighborhood too. An overpriced home will NEVER sell. Its always better to price it right from the beginning. This brings me to my next tip. | Do not let an agent buy the listing. What do I mean by that? This means do not list with the agent that tells you the highest list price. Its not always the best option. There are top agents in your neighborhood that continually agree to an over-priced listing or purposely suggest a high list price in order to secure the listing agreement. Why would they do that? Chances are if I suggested a higher list price as compared to other agents, I have the best chance of getting the listing. Now you can see why they "buy the listing". Ask for the agent's listing history on past transactions and see how many times they had to ask for a price reduction. Also ask them for the original list price versus what the home finally sold for. This will give you a good indication if the agent is suggesting a "realistic" listing price. It is much easier to price correctly from the beginning. Study after Study show that overpricing usually results in a lower sales price later.
17: How long will it take to sell my home? One of the most important things you need to know in the home selling process is the actual average days on the market (DOM) for your neighborhood. The only accurate way to determining how long it will take to sell your home, we need to look at the Market Absorption Rate. I know you are asking, what the heck is market absorption rate? Simply defined, it's the amount of time it takes for the current inventory to be sold or absorbed by the market. Example: If there are 100 homes on market right now AND no new properties came on the market, the Market Absorption Rate is the amount of time it would take to sell all 100 homes. This determines market conditions listed below: "Normal Market" conditions exist when the Absorption Rate is between 5-6 months. "Sellers Market" conditions exist when the Absorption Rate is lower. (1-4 months) "Buyers Market" conditions exist when the Absorption Rate is higher. (7+ months) The MLS always reports a much lower number for Days on the Market. Why, because the MLS calculates the average DOM as the average days on market for the listings that actually sold. Most agents do not know how to calculate market absorption rates nor do they even know what it is. If an agent is quoting you what the MLS reports, then you are getting a very bad picture of the market. What it leaves out of its calculation altogether are homes that were withdrawn, listings that expired, listings that were withdrawn for a day and then re-listed to restart the clock, or those that were never put in the MLS until they sold (like new construction where they might list only one home in a subdivision, but actually have 20 for sale). And all of those affect the reported DOM. The current Market Absorption Rate for your neighborhood is ______ days. These are statistical facts, not guesswork like most agents rely on. There are many things we can do to speed up how fast your home will sell. Property condition and pricing are completely in your hands. Let's get the property ready to sell quickly and beat the average DOM!
18: What does all this marketing mean for you? It means your home is effectively marketed locally, Nationally and most importantly, Globally! By maximizing your home's online exposure, I can ensure your home will be seen on an immense international market!
19: Preparing your home How do you make your home stand out from the crowd? The most important aspect of home selling is putting the final touches on your home to get it ready for the market. I will not "hold back" and I will always be honest with you about my recommendations to prepare your home for sale. Believe me, I will tell that your pink walls and Grandma's yellow, lacy curtains from the 1920's have to go. I have several colleagues that I have previously worked with that assist me in recommending changes or staging tips. Most changes are simple and inexpensive. New paint, cleaning, de-cluttering and staging are some of the easiest things you can do to prepare the home. Curb appeal should also not be over looked. Clean your landscape up, mow the grass, put new sod down, pull weeds and paint as necessary. Add some color by planting blooming flowers. Create a good first impression. I've driven numerous buyers to homes but they refused to go inside because the curb appeal was so bad. I love helping you with this step. Again, put on your buyer's hat and look at your home through a buyer's eyes. I can provide names of quality contractors that can help us prepare your home.
20: Preparing your home for the market is crucial for selling quickly and getting maximum profit. I had my team give this home some loving "Curb Appeal" We took 3 weeks to prepare the property before we put it on the market. | Small budget fixes make the most dramatic changes. This is removal of a tree, paint, new sod, flowers and a new brick porch. For every dollar you spend, you should make 3 dollars in return, otherwise do not do it.
21: Total Transformation Today's buyers want space. Do not neglect the backyard. This backyard was overgrown, full of junk, rotten fencing and a bath tub. By removing the debris, extra fencing, trimming the tree and laying sod, we were able to transform this backyard into a private oasis. We had multiple offers on this property within a few days.
22: Today's Tech Savvy Mobile Professional & Closing the Deal As your Realtor, you can rest assured that I utilize all the latest technology and unique tools to streamline the home selling process. Go Paperless! I am proud to utilize Docusign technology that allows you to sign all contracts and documents digitally via the Internet. I strive to make the process as simple and uncomplicated as possible. Lines of communications are always open with me and my team. We utilize your favorite communication medium, whether that be email, phone calls, text messages or personal visits. It's completely up to you. I will ALWAYS represent your best interests in all negotiations. One of my favorite aspects of this business is negotiating and problem solving. I hope to be your trusted real estate advisor and look forward to working with you.

Wow Andrew, love the muscles showing on the figure of the Reaper, female by the look of it, which makes it even more unusual. That's quite a creative creature with a pig body, guinea pig face and horns. This is going to be one interesting book when you get done. Thank you for the incredibly kind comments you made about my latest post. I appreciate your generosity. Ok, back to work, I was missing seeing new work and you usually post multiple feasts for the eyes, so I am still hungry for more. Hmmmm, must be a new tactic. I like it, leave them wanting more... yes, that's good too.ReplyDelete
Hi Andrew. Well. I'm starting to love your creepy characters. I think I have dreams with them (could you draw for me some gruesome Miss, please?). No need to tell you that you are the king of dark atmospheres.
Maybe you have the same Dreams of Reason which Goya had. How I would like to have them. A little of that pepper does not hurt for me my.
A hug!!
Hello Karen, thank you for being so kind yourself. Your new work has lifted the bar so it's a pleasure to comment on it!! Oh the female grim reaper - it must be my subconscious rising above the waves I think :) :) For me I am keeping quite and trying to work towards a target rather than just have fun .....ReplyDelete
Hola Roberto! Oh it is the weekend here in OZ. It starts on Monday afternoon and ends on Monday morning.... heh. From Monday morn till monday eve we have to have a siesta to recover from the long weekend we just had. We will have to blame the English for transporting so many convicts!! Heh :)
No but seriously I'm glad you like the characters. I will rustle up some grim girls. I have just men here because there are lots of them naked (in the book - they are in good taste naked) and I thought that it would be in bad taste to have girls sans vestement along with the skinny dipping men considering my target audience....
On second thoughts... :)
despite the time being the horror of horrors,
the scene is very good!
the death is so feminine, that manages to be beautiful! ...
get our wannabe hero get away with this situation?
greetings! :)
Hya denise, now that's funny I am just visiting your blog! I am used to being out of synch with the rest of the world (our country is upside down)
Thank you for looking at this. Yes Death has very small feet. I was surprised because I have heard that when she stands on your chest they feel very heavy.... But I hope it is not true?
hugs from Oz :) :) (don't tell Roberto!)
I am growing very curious about your horror book! :-)ReplyDelete
Well, every time you post a new piece about your book I can't help but wonder what will happen next! All of your pieces of art have so much detail in them, even simple things like the numerous tiles on the floor add so much detail to your images!ReplyDelete
Ah. But I also slept the siesta. I went to bed on Tuesday morning (this is what is called siesta am. if you go to bed at 3 in the afternoon, then is siesta pm. it is not hard) but still could not wake up. I'm actually driving my car with my eyes closed.
Ah, yes, yes, I understand about the girls without clothes. I did not want your picture come to that extreme. That the Gods of Olympus. do not allow it!
I just imagined some ugly girl. for my dreams to have a woman included. (Now I'm dreaming so much with your horrible characters, my wife accuses me of having dreams with men!)
Good. I leave you. because I reached a corner and the lights already in green.CHAUUUUUUUUUU ... BRRRMMMMMMM TU TUUU!!!
hi Andrew, such a funny horned rabbit-pig-hamster live there, it's too cute...
And the bird in front of it, is also a funny pet...What are they doing there?
There're pets traffic on this storie.
Beautiful horror.
Don't know why, but I'm really drawn to the background in this. Love the tiles, door, etc., but I guess I've grown to expect great characters from you.ReplyDelete
You create a perfect horror scene...that muscle body is incredible....ReplyDelete
Me encantan tus mundos, están llenos de pequeños y sorprendentes detalles, que por si solo forman pequeños e independientes mundos...
Cordiales saludos para ti.
As intriguing as these characters are, there's that door...I'm almost afraid to ask...ReplyDelete
Hello Janne,
Oh curious?
So am I. I wonder what will happen.... no actually I know what will happen in the plot. I don't know what will happen to the book. I think it will self explode - I have a propensity to illustrate everything :)
I hope Norway is warm today. Here I have taken to wearing my summer board shorts ... :)
Vanilla :) Thanks for noticing the tiles. Oh the floor is the most important part in a lot of things. It catches the shadows and places the actors in situ. And the floor can show age and patina and add a temporal sense ....
(I just made that up but it sounds good :) )
Hey Roberto, oh you made me laugh again. Now that is funny.
Oh yes I dream about my work alot. Today I dreamt of skulls and how to shade them and what shadows to put in their eyesockets. They were skulls in a field and they had the colour of soil, they were like medieval houses, of the earth - as the French say "terroir"?? : - very peacful skulls they were.
When I start dreaming of naked men though - I will go for a long walk along the cliff tops near my home ---- :)
cheers from Upside Down Oz.
Hey Felisa Pet traffic, good idea!
Oh the bird is a black cockatoo. They fly in gangs, they are GangGang Cockatoos, and make this dreadful screaching like lost souls. Their wings flap up and down very slowly and they float through the air, rather than flying. I think they come out of holes in the ground connected to Hades ---
Linda :) Thanks that is very kind. I spent a lot of time getting the background right and setting the lighting up. The door is why they are all there - doors are like roads - hopefully they go somewhere...
If only I can figure out how to open it!!
Hey thanks Heather. I should be honest and tell you it's a trick! (But I won't be honest). I was tempted to leave death as a skeleton but hopefully the flesh will give a gore factor to keep the kids happy.
Me? I watched a fake autopsy last night and I still feel sick... Ugh.
Saludos Antonio, gracias amablemente.
Oh, tengo esta teoría en las ilustraciones necesidad de subtramas que la recompensa al espectador y que alientan al espectador a pasar más tiempo con la ilustración. Espero que funcione. Pero es divertido de hacer. Espero que el día es cálido como el mío!
PS thank you for my Spanish lesson. :)ReplyDelete
Heh Michele, Oh I once read that if a gun hangs over the fireplace in chapter one, then by the end of the book the gun should be taken down and fired... and so hence the door...
Mind you I belive everything I read, which is a worry :)
So you are upside down? I wonder what that could do to my brain... heheh.
Well, it's a wonder how that brave boy could be standing there without so much as peeing his pants with the kind of company he's having. This book must be for the tough kids. Considering the Mortal Kombat generation we have now, I think you might just strike gold.
I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.
Don't forget I want a black Porsche when you're rich and famous! (^-^)
my sympathy for all your characters :D
hello aNDREW, IM SORRY, BEEN AWAY FOR AWHILE, LIFE SUCKS.
sorry, capslock off now.ReplyDelete
Hi Andrew. how fast was the weekend!
Today is Monday again!. Again put on my suit and tie to go to the office! This life has me exhausted.
Luckily, I woke up from the siesta. I dreamed I was walking near the cliffs that are near your home. and a gust of wind threw me a million miles from your home. just when you were about to open a bottle of beer. This is a message from the destination? Do I need to leave the alcohol. definitely?... And when I fall off the bike and my knee hurt. how to heal me without alcohol? ... I have a DG6 or Merthiolate. (And does not burn).
I wish you good week start.
Hey there!
Cool stuff in here... great blog!
Hey! I see a surfer lingering on the beach... nice pair of shades there! Hehehe... And I like that you added a Indonesian translation somewhere down there!
A hug to Leviticus! (if he's real, that is!)
Oh my goodness!!! It;'s been ages since I stopped by and I am in a giggling fit after I clciked on your picture link. I can't take anything seriously after that! HAHAHAHAHAHA! I shall return to study these posts. Some amazing scenes here. Your mind is full of wonders! Amazing. Hieronymus would be proud!ReplyDelete

The hard copy results were handed back a few weeks ago after the competition and I was quite pleased with it. I know it's been a while since the competition and I haven't had the chance to upload the photographs of the results. The more I look at it, I'm beginning to prefer the day look over the night look. But we'll see if all the hard work pays off!

Hussman Dismantles the Phillips Curve
When it comes to the financial markets, there is a great deal of conventional wisdom that, upon closer scrutiny, is anything but wise. You have probably heard the catch phrases. "Don't fight the fed," "Falling interest rates always support stock prices," and "Recessions are always preceded by an inverted yield curve" are but a few of the more popular myths that are quoted by many mainstream analysts. Then there is the Phillips Curve, which is said to indicate that an environment of high unemployment is always associated with low inflation, suggesting that government fiscal and monetary policies can target employment growth without worrying about any inflationary consequences. Unfortunately, the data clearly do not support these assertions, and fund manager John Hussman addressed the failings of the Phillips Curve argument in his latest weekly commentary.
The chart below shows the historical record, since 1947, plotting the U.S. unemployment rate against the subsequent rate of CPI inflation over the following 2-year period. The correlation is essentially zero (techically, it's slightly positive, implying no "tradeoff" at all in historical data). I should also note that the same lack of correlation holds between unemployment and inflation measured over the previous 1-2 year period.
As it happens, economists have been well aware of this lack of correlation for decades, but because of the simple intellectual appeal of an inflation-unemployment tradeoff, they have gone to great lengths to try to make the relationship work. The most prominent version of this is the "expectations augmented" Phillips Curve, which looks at the graph above as a whole set of "nested" Phillips Curves (like indifference curves in consumer theory), where each curve is set at a different level based on the level of expected inflation. In this view, unexpected inflation moves you along a given Phillips Curve, while expected inflation shifts you to a different curve. While this version of the theory is popular among economists because it gives them a modeling "environment" in which to teach the importance of expectations and so forth, the fact remains even the expectations-augmented version has only a weak relationship to actual economic data.
We can get to the heart of the Phillips Curve by asking one crucial question: What is the difference between Britain in the period from 1850-1950, and the United States in the post-war period? The answer is simple. During most of the period that Phillips studied, Britain was on the gold standard. As a result, the general price level was actually very stable, with very little general price inflation at all. So when Phillips observed wage inflation, he was actually observing real wage inflation as well. When unemployment was low and available labor was scarce, workers were able to command a greater amount of real goods and services in return for their work. In contrast, when unemployment was high and available labor was plentiful, workers found that their standard of living typically did not rise quickly because their services were not in sufficient demand.
Phillips demonstrated a principle that is well-known to every economist: very simply, when a useful resource becomes scarce, its price tends to increase relative to the prices of other goods and services. That finding doesn't need all sorts of intellectual contortions or modeling tricks to make it "work," because it is one of the most basic laws of economics. The true Phillips Curve, then, is a relationship between unemployment and real wages. When workers are scarce, wages tend to rise faster than the general price level. When workers are plentiful, wages tend to rise slower than the general price level. If we look at U.S. data in this way, we find precisely what A.W. Phillips found in British data. The following chart plots the U.S. unemployment rate versus the annual inflation in real wages (average hourly earnings deflated by the GDP price deflator) over the subsequent 2-year period.
The importance of the true Phillips Curve should not be underestimated. First, there is in fact no strong "tradeoff" between unemployment and general price inflation, and almost certainly not an exploitable one. The Phillips Curve is essentially a statement that lower unemployment is associated with higher inflation in real wages. The strategy of accepting higher inflation in hopes of achieving lower unemployment (which is the basis of Bernanke's policy efforts) not only drops the phrase "real wages" but reverses the direction of cause and effect.
The Phillips Curve argument is another excellent example of a mainstream notion that has no underlying substantive merit. The analysts who present these sound bites of purported market wisdom are hoping that viewers will accept them at face value and not perform any further due diligence, which is yet another reason to develop self-reliance as an investor or trader. Never take the validity of market "wisdom" for granted, and take the time to research such claims before affording them any of your trust. In general, the less you need to rely on market analysts like us, the better off you will be.
