The first vote by a Senate committee is due over the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh to the US Supreme Court.
It follows Thursday's testimony by Mr Kavanaugh and Christine Blasey Ford, who has accused him of sexual assault.
Dr Ford, close to tears, described the alleged 1982 attack in detail, saying it had "drastically" affected her life. Judge Kavanaugh angrily denied he had assaulted her or anyone.
President Donald Trump has urged the full Senate to approve his nominee.
That vote is expected next week. Republicans currently have a majority of 51-49 in the Senate, but a number of senators on both sides are said to be undecided.
Judge Kavanaugh's appointment would tilt the balance in favour of conservatives for years to come.
For this reason, Republicans accuse the Democrats of seeking to delay the confirmation until after the mid-term elections in November when they hope to win enough seats to stop it altogether. Democrats counter by accusing Republicans of trying to "railroad" the process.
The Supreme Court plays a vital role in US political life - appointed for life, its nine members have the final say on US law.
Republican Senator Jeff Flake, a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee who was believed to be wavering, issued a statement shortly before the committee began sitting on Friday morning stating that he would back Judge Kavanaugh.
On his way to the committee room following the release of the statement, he was berated by two women who said they were victims of sexual violence and urged him to change his mind.
As the committee began, the bitter political divide was clear as an attempt by Democrats to call a further witness - Mark Judge, who Dr Ford said was present during the alleged sexual assault - was defeated by the 11 Republicans voting against the 10 Democrats.
A subsequent motion to move to a vote on Judge Kavanaugh's nomination was passed despite vocal Democratic objections. Some Democratic senators refused to vote on that and walked out of the hearing.
In a letter after Thursday's hearing, Robert Carlson, head of the American Bar Association - the body representing US lawyers and students of law - urged a delay of the vote to enable the FBI to check the allegations against Judge Kavanaugh.
The association had previously supported Judge Kavanaugh for the role.
What did Christine Blasey Ford say?
Thursday's hearing, which lasted for nine hours, brought an outpouring of support for Dr Ford - a university professor - from the #MeToo movement against sexual harassment and assault.
Prior to Thursday, no-one had heard from the 51-year-old publicly since the allegations arose.
"I am here today not because I want to be," Dr Ford said. "I am terrified. I am here because I believe it is my civic duty to tell you what happened to me while Brett Kavanaugh and I were in high school."
She alleged he and his friend Mark Judge had locked her in a bedroom during a small gathering at a house in a Washington DC suburb in the summer of 1982, when she was 15 and Judge Kavanaugh was 17.
Dr Ford said Brett Kavanaugh had tried to remove her clothing, pinned her to a bed and groped her. Both men were "drunkenly laughing", she said.
She added: "Brett's assault on me drastically altered my life. For a very long time, I was too afraid and ashamed to tell anyone the details."
Under questioning by a Democratic senator, she said her most vivid memory was "the laughter between the two and their having fun at my expense... They were laughing with each other - two friends having a really good time with one another".
In an answer to a question from another Democrat about claims of mistaken identity, Dr Ford said she was "100%" certain that Judge Kavanaugh had assaulted her.
How did Brett Kavanaugh respond?
The 53-year-old federal judge took a combative approach but occasionally became emotional.
"This confirmation process has become a national disgrace," he told the committee.
"The constitution gives the Senate an important role in the confirmation process, but you have replaced advice and consent with search and destroy.
"Since my nomination in July there has been a frenzy on the left to come up with something, anything to block my confirmation."
He insisted he would not be "intimidated" into withdrawing from the process.
"You may defeat me in the final vote but you'll never get me to quit. Never."
Judge Kavanaugh said he did not doubt that Prof Ford had been assaulted, but insisted: "I've never sexually assaulted Dr Ford - or anyone."
He admitted he had drunk beer while at high school, but said he had never got so drunk as to forget events.
He added that his calendars for 1982 - which he had kept - showed he had not attended a party at the location Prof Ford had described.
The Democratic senators on the committee have called on President Trump to "immediately withdraw" Judge Kavanaugh's nomination.
Moments after the hearing ended, however, President Trump tweeted that he was standing by his nominee and said he found Judge Kavanaugh's testimony "powerful, honest and riveting".
Mr Trump has repeatedly defended the judge's character, saying he is "one of the highest quality people" he has ever met.
Thousands of protesters against the nomination took to the streets on Thursday and 59 people were arrested near the Supreme Court in Washington, DC.
The Senate Judiciary Committee vote on Judge Kavanaugh's confirmation could result in a recommendation that the candidate should be confirmed or rejected, or in no recommendation at all.
After Friday's panel vote, the full Senate could start taking procedural votes at the weekend.
A final vote by the full chamber could come as soon as Tuesday.
Judge Kavanaugh denies these allegations, and on Thursday called Ms Swetnick's allegation "a joke" and "a farce".

Are you applying for credit and being refused? You are not alone! Across the UK each year millions of people attempt to obtain Loans, Credit Cards, Store Cards, Mortgages, Mobile Phones, Car Loans, etc and are turned down.
Whilst the reasons people are declined for loans or other types of credit are many and varied, the overwhelming majority of lenders will access your credit file as part of assessing your credit worthiness for a loan. The information held about you by the Credit Reference Agencies can often be the reason for you being declined - in simple terms "A poor Credit Rating".
If your credit file shows any of the following your credit rating is almost certain to be adversely affected and will in most cases result in you being refused further credit.
The natural instinct of most people when a loan application is declined is to apply for credit elsewhere. Perfectly logical but often fatal in terms of the effect on your credit worthiness. Repeated applications for credit will only serve to worsen your situation as the majority of institutions will run credit checks on you before granting credit and every search will register on your credit file. The mere presence of several searches over a relatively short period will have an adverse effect on your credit worthiness.
Generally speaking, credit information, including CCJ's and Defaults remain on credit files for a MINIMUM OF 6 YEARS regardless of whether the debt has been paid off or not. In fact that is 6 years from the date of the last transaction on a particular account. So, if you took out a loan in 1999 and defaulted on it in 2000 but continued to pay a little each month with the last payment in 2004, that 9 year old default would still be showing on your file in 2009. Other members of your family with adverse history at your address may affect your credit file or influence someone negatively when assessing you. Out of date information on your file or incorrect information may prevent you from obtaining credit.
Initial Analysis of your Credit File(s).
What does the Credit Correction Process entail?
Stage 2 - We will carry out an analysis of your credit file and let you have a detailed EASY TO UNDERSTAND analysis which will identify the negative entries on your file which are causing or likely to cause you a problem in obtaining credit.
Stage 3 - We will discuss with you the specific negative items identified in stage 2 so that we can establish and agree what action can be taken to remove or amend those damaging items. At this stage we will tell you precisely what can and also what cannot be done to improve your credit file and make it accurate.
Stage 4 - We proceed to take the action agreed as a consequence of our discussions in stage 3.
Stage 5 - We provide you with a detailed copy and analysis of your 'Repaired' credit file together with a full explanation of its contents.
The initial process (stages 1 to 3) can usually be completed within two to three weeks. Stage 4 can take anywhere from two to six weeks depending upon complexity. Stage 5 takes two to three weeks from completion of stage 4).
Stage 4 cost will depend upon the content of your file and the work necessary but as a guide you could calculate the cost of this stage at £20.00 + VAT per item for all items amended or removed up to a maximum of 8 items If there are more than eight items the cost for this stage is capped at 8 charges (i.e. 8 x £20 + VAT in other words £160.00 plus VAT). The capping of charges does not include linked addresses requiring individual searches or fraud related entries. The actual figure which will apply at Stage 4 will always be notified to you in advance and there is no obligation on your part to have the work done.
From this you can see that the normal MAXIMUM cost which you can incur is £245.00 plus VAT with the MINIMUM cost being £85.00 plus VAT. This assumes that no further addresses require searching on or fraud entries require attention.
Once we have received your order and payment we will send you written confirmation that there is an agreement between us and you will have certain rights to cancel the agreement between us within 7 working days of the date of our written confirmation.
If you want us to start our Credit Correction service within that 7 working day period, your cancellation rights will lapse. If you do not tick the box on the order form to indicate that you want us to start work for you immediately, we will wait 7 working days before we start.
If you wish us to start the Credit Correction service immediately, please tick the appropriate box on the order form.
Footnote: IF YOU WISH TO OBTAIN YOUR FILES YOURSELF WE WILL STILL ANALYSE THEM FOR YOU AND ADVISE ON WHAT ACTION MAY BE OPEN TO YOU BUT IN DOING SO WE WILL CHARGE £85.00 PLUS VAT FOR STAGES 2 & 3.

Router bits should not bottom out in the arbor shaft of a router, because it can compromise tightening them properly in the collet. I used to follow the usual convention of bottoming the bit out, then pulling it back up 1/16″ to 1/8″ or so. But I was never sure if the bit was slipping back down when I tightened the collet.
Here’s a foolproof solution: Squeeze out a 1/4″ bead of silicone caulk onto a scrap of melamine, plastic laminate or other non-stick surface and let it fully cure. Then cut it into 1/8″ slivers to use as spacers under your router bit. Drop one into the collet hole, and you’ll never bottom out the bit again.

Words to jaunt your Minds!
And read this poem to me.
Why should the music play, without us dancing?
Or the Sun shines, without us working?
and with our Minds seek within ourselves.
Or this events are not in our nearness.
Or is our past repeated?
Until our deeds are corrected?
Direct me until Death cometh!

The hottest chilli in our catalogue!! A previous world record holder for the hottest chilli at 1.4 million Scoville Heat Units. A tall plant that likes a warm, sheltered position (in cooler areas grow in greenhouse or indoors). Produces a good yield of 5-8 cm pendant shaped chillies that taper to a sharp point (the scorpion’s tail). Extremely hot, so do not let kids pick fruit from the plant!! Not to WA. 15 seeds.
One of the most popular chillies from Peru. Prized for the medium flesh with a rich, smokey flavour making them great for BBQ sauces, soups, stews, grilled or stuffed. The perfect chilli for making Mexican Mole. The pods have a moderate heat level, turning from light green to dark brown when ripe and are tapered to 10 cm long and 3-4 cm wide. In cool areas grow indoors. Not to WA. 15 seeds.
A popular heirloom chilli with a mild heat. They mature from a dark green to a glossy red and grow to 15-20 cm in length, making them ideal for stuffing.

Not to WA. 70 seeds.
An early medium hot jalapeno that is suited to cooler areas with short summers. These chillies are great used fresh, ripening from green (milder) to red (medium hot but with a hint of sweetness) or pickled for use through winter. 5-6 cm long by 2.5 cm wide. Not to WA. 15 seeds.
You want our hottest, well this is it, the not-so-humble habanero. Known as the hottest chilli it is certainly not for the faint hearted. The 4-5cm x 3cm fruits ripen from green salmon orange. Use fresh or dried. Prefer hot summers so yields outdoors in the cooler areas can be a bit erratic. 12 seeds.
A medium-hot chilli that is early to ripen in cooler areas. It is 200 mm long, 20-25 mm diameter at top, pointed and usually not straight but with twists. Can be cut in chunks and put in stir-fries to spice them up. Ripest and hottest when the chilli is red. Early to ripen. Not to WA. 10 seeds.

Originating from Mexico, this little chilli will make any gringo sweat. Pequin chillies are 2-3 cm and ripen from green to red. A very hot chilli that can be used fresh or dried. It is described as having citrusy, nutty flavour with a hint of smokeyness. Used in pickling, salsa, sauces, soups and vinegars. Fruits prolifically on bushes that can grow to 100 cm in tropical areas. 15 seeds.
A hot, spicy and very naughty chilli! The name of this chilli comes from its unusual shape, which when fully grown is considered to resemble a smaller version of a male’s private parts. So giggle away but its hotter than a jalapeno and just as versatile. It can be used fresh, pickled, dried, powdered and in salsa. Rated 10,000-23,000 Scoville units. 10 seeds.
An indispensable chilli for Mexican cooking used in moles, adobos/pastes and salsas. The thick fleshed walls also make it ideal for grilling and stuffing with a favourite filling.

An American corporation and the Mexican Cartel. Chances are this won’t end well. Based on the trailer, I’d say that’s a pretty accurate prediction.
Not only does Aussie filmmaker Nash Edgerton’s previously untitled action comedy officially have a name but it also just dropped a red band trailer. Gringo is a star-studded Amazon Studios movie headlined by David Oyewolo and Charlize Theron.
An exhilarating mix of dark comedy, white-knuckle action and dramatic intrigue, Gringo joyrides into Mexico, where mild-mannered businessman Harold Soyinka (Oyelowo) finds himself at the mercy of his back-stabbing business colleagues back home, local drug lords and a morally conflicted black-ops mercenary. Crossing the line from law-abiding citizen to wanted criminal, Harold battles to survive his increasingly dangerous situation in ways that raise the question: Is he out of his depth — or two steps ahead?
Joel Edgerton, Amanda Seyfried, Paris Jackson, Sharlto Copley and Thandie Newton also star. Gringo arrives March 9, 2018. Check out the trailer below.

Gülseren Özdemir, general manager of Wedding City Antalya company said that they are working with the ‘’Get married in heaven on earth Antalya’’ motto. She also mentioned that they are working with different countries from all over the world.
Ozdemir said that they have started to enjoy the advantage of these works in a short time. She also mentioned that it becomes a trend to get married abroad and they made the first wedding of this year with a Russian couple. Their marriage was held by mayor of Kemer and the mayor also gave the couple Turkish coffee glasses as gifts. The couple became very happy because of this gesture.
Ozdemir stated that wedding tourism sector develops more and more each day with the introductions. Ozdemir emphasizes wedding tourism’s importance in alternative tourism area. Foreign citizens usually prefer the countries which has beautiful and bright beaches and which has no long procedures for civil marriage.
Ozdemir continued as ‘’ we should fasten the civil marriage procedures in turkey like our competitor countries which are making wedding tourism. Because wedding tourism new for turkey, official building processes for foreign grooms and brides should be fastened.
Foreign country citizens do not prefer to get married in countries which require lots of documents for civil marriage. Culture and Tourism Ministry in Turkey and Antalya governorship supports wedding tourism in Antalya. our studies and introductions are continuing day by day for making Antalya one of the best destinations for weddings.
Our enterprising wedding organization company prepares the foreign guests wedding in Turkey after the introductions and infrastructure studies by means of wedding tourism. Most of our wedding groups are coming from England, Europe, Iran, Lubnan, Russia, and Kazakhstan.
Mrs. Gülseren Özdemir, the general manager of Wedding City Antalya company, mentioned that they are working with more than 1500 tourism agencies and these agencies introduce wedding tourism in Antalya on their web page. Ozdemir said that it is a trend to get married abroad in the world. Especially countries like Russia or north Europe are very cold countries. This is why Antalya has a big advantage because people in those countries choose warmer places to get married. Moreover, now people have started to understand that Antalya is not only consist of sand, sun and sea but also can be a very good place for weddings. Couples have started slowly getting married in Antalya, celebrating their anniversaries in Antalya and make celebrations for their marriage.

Daniel Bryan defeated AJ Styles before Survivor Series and became WWE Champion. This was not just a random title change on SmackDown Live because it also started Daniel Bryan’s heel turn which he is still running with full-tilt.
During the season finale of Total Bellas, Daniel Bryan’s heel turn was featured. Brie Bella and brother JJ spoke casually about it over the dinner table while Bryan was on the road. However, Daniel Bryan was elated to get the chance to make children angry once again.
This was said with a bright smile on Bryan’s face. He was obviously being honest about this. After all, The New Daniel Bryan became WWE Champion while his babyface persona might very well still be stuck in the same position he was before at this point on the road to WrestleMania.

A human hand and a robot hand.
If you cut a robot it won’t bleed, but, thanks to research coming out of Belgium in the future it may well heal itself.
A team led by Seppe Terryn of Vrije Universiteit Brussel has overcome one of the more challenging aspects of the growing field known as “soft robotics”.
The field concerns building intelligent machines with external coverings made of impressionable, malleable materials. Such soft and squishy skins have a number of advantages when the robots are deployed in pressure-sensitive dynamic environments.
For instance, they are better able to absorb sudden shocks and impacts. They are also well suited for robot-human interactions, where, for example, the machine may be tasked with tending to, or moving, a hospital patient or child.
No way to treat a robot: a researcher cuts the hand of a soft robot.
However, the main drawback for soft robotic coverings is that they are highly susceptible to damage. Sharp objects, in particular, can slice them open, reducing (or even ending) their efficiency, leading to expense and downtime to facilitate repairs.
Terryn’s team has developed a soft-robotic material made entirely of temperature-sensitive elastic material that is capable of self-healing. In experiments conducted on a purpose-built robotic hand, the scientists report in the journal Science Robotics that the substance is able to completely eradicate damage caused by a scalpel blade in just 40 minutes.
The material is made using cross-linked Diels-Alder polymers, large molecules that are heat-sensitive. When exposed to mild heat – about 80 degrees Celsius – the polymer lattice temporarily breaks down and then knits back together when the temperature falls to about 25 degrees Celsius, effectively repairing damage in the process.
The researchers report finding no discolouration or scarring at self-healed wound sites. Recovered function was estimated at 98–99%.
As an added bonus, the elastomer coating is reported to be easily recycled. Dissolving it chloroform resulted in an 81% recovery rate.

text: Technical Abstract: Following the 2014-2015 outbreaks of H5N2 and H5N8 (clade 2.3.4.4) highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) in the U.S., studies were performed to identify vaccines with potential to be used as a control mechanism in the event of future outbreaks. We tested both inactivated and recombinant vaccines to determine which demonstrated the best protection in terms of efficacy and reductions in viral shedding after challenge. As expected, the best vaccine was the homologous virus containing the identical hemagglutinin gene found in the HPAI virus, although some less-matched vaccines also provided 100 % protection from clinical disease. Additional studies focused on commercially available vaccines as options for the control of HPAI. In general, the recombinant vaccines provided good protection against poultry-adapted challenge virus. An overview of the results from multiple vaccine-challenge studies with North American lineage H5 HPAI clade 2.3.4.4 will be discussed.

Before getting started in real estate I loved my job and the work that I did. I simply couldn't get over the fact that the level of work I was doing didn't match up with the pay I was receiving. It ended up being another year of working 12-14 hour days, and weekends, to break even financially. At the same time, the company I was working for had an incoming CEO who was known for cutting costs and bonuses. The writing was on the wall and I took the plunge. Switching locations from Washington, DC to Jacksonville, FL didn't make a difference. I needed to switch careers. I needed to have control over my future.
Getting started in real estate is a first class education in entrepreneurship AND budgeting. Over two years of working professionally, I had managed to save $5,000 in after tax cash -- yet I still had a mortgage, car payment, student loan payment, and roughly $1,500 in credit card debt with a monthly outflow of $1,500+. Although my fiancée, Brittany, was supportive, we knew we had to have a plan. We found that I would be able to survive for roughly 3 months without making any income before my cash was depleted. That’s when I cut costs to the survival amount.
In my first month, I found that my broker was willing to pay for free color flyers. So I made some marketing materials, printed them for free, and passed them out for 2-3 hours EVERY day. This was great because while I was handing them out, I listened to podcasts on sales, and simultaneously exercised. On weekends, I held open houses every Saturday and Sunday, borrowing signs from my office. During week days, I was the first in the office. From observation, I knew most of the call-ins were happening in the morning so I aimed to get as much desk time as possible in the AM.
Lastly, I made the biggest risk of all. I started buying leads from an online site for $300 per month. I had heard over, and over, and over, and over again that buying leads didn’t work and that it was too expensive. Yet I had nothing but time and energy. And when someone tells me not to do something, I usually do it anyway -- really. So, I studied the different lead generation systems and pulled the trigger. It was an experiment – and I wasn't afraid to take on debt. I had lived in debt my whole life. If it didn't work out, I would be another $3,600 in the red. I could handle that. And, I knew from my finance classes that most businesses take years before becoming profitable. With my combination of flyers, desk time, open houses, and buying leads, I was making opportunities at a very low cost and with large rewards. I was all in. I couldn’t sleep, and I urgently needed to make this work.
The first month rolled in and while on desk duty in the AM a realtor called in and said he had a family member looking to buy a home over the next two weeks. He was looking to get a 25% referral fee. I agreed immediately and got the appropriate contact information. Within the two weeks, I had my customer happily under contract with a $220k home. At about the same time, my boss from my previous job contacted me and said he was looking to make an investment in a rental property. I scoured the hot market for an opportunity, found the perfect one, and executed. Before I knew it, I had two properties under contract in my first month for roughly $330k.
The next week, I asked my broker for more phone numbers to call while at the front desk. I wasn’t using time efficiently enough. He gave me a long list of random numbers and names – most of which were rentals – or wrong numbers. I left voicemails for nearly everyone. Again, I had nothing but time. From that list, I received a call back immediately from a Seller in Fernandina Beach. He said that my call was one from God and he believed that He put me on his path -- he was just talking with his wife the night before about selling their home. I went to list his house two days later. Within a day of being on the market, it was under contract for $265k (roughly $15k above the appraised value).
That one listing brought me one buyer lead who bought another house from me for $200k. Then that same week, a Seller called in off of one of my flyers. I listed his house and then hosted an open house every weekend and got two buyers and one additional neighbor who wanted me to sell his investment property. That new listing brought me two buyers. And one of those buyers referred to me two other buyers because of the level of service I had provided. My skills were improving dramatically and I was immersed. At that same time, I had also converted two online leads into customers who were under contract with homes in the $220k+ price range. I paid off the leads 4x over within the first few months – so naturally I doubled down on the strategy that I was told over and over and over not to explore and didn’t work.
Before I knew it, the business had grown extraordinarily fast relative to my peers and I could sense the resentment in the office -- something I had never felt before. It was strange to me. The other agents had never called the same people I was calling. How could we be in competition if we weren’t fighting for the same opportunities? That was the first time I realized that the office wasn’t a cultural fit for me (although my broker was awesome!) – so I started to work at home – alone – and I was, and am today, hyper-focused on creating my own culture and standards that I will not compromise.
Customers were starting to send me referrals and I didn't have the systems in place to serve them at a high level consistently. I was running out of time. So, I immediately stopped what I was doing and stayed up late into the night to create an automated system I could use to better serve my customers. I then spent time making the appropriate connections (inspectors, title, insurance, lenders, contractors, etc.) to serve my customers at the highest level. My work was starting to look more and more like a business.
I quickly found that working 12-14 hour days for myself was better than working 12-14 hour days for someone else. In fact, it didn't feel like work -- I was actually having fun. And it was fun telling Brittany, and my family, all about it -- all the setbacks, challenges, and wins. I started seeing my business grow and within a couple months I realized I needed to hire or team up with someone to help me grow even more.

in my first month, i found that my broker was willing to pay for free color flyers. so i made some marketing materials, printed them for free, and passed them out for 2-3 hours every day. this was great because while i was handing them out, i listened to podcasts on sales, and simultaneously exercised. on weekends, i held open houses every saturday and sunday, borrowing signs from my office. during week days, i was the first in the office. from observation, i knew most of the call-ins were happening in the morning so i aimed to get as much desk time as possible in the am.
lastly, i made the biggest risk of all. i started buying leads from an online site for $300 per month. i had heard over, and over, and over, and over again that buying leads didn’t work and that it was too expensive. yet i had nothing but time and energy. and when someone tells me not to do something, i usually do it anyway -- really. so, i studied the different lead generation systems and pulled the trigger. it was an experiment – and i wasn't afraid to take on debt. i had lived in debt my whole life. if it didn't work out, i would be another $3,600 in the red. i could handle that. and, i knew from my finance classes that most businesses take years before becoming profitable. with my combination of flyers, desk time, open houses, and buying leads, i was making opportunities at a very low cost and with large rewards. i was all in. i couldn’t sleep, and i urgently needed to make this work.
the first month rolled in and while on desk duty in the am a realtor called in and said he had a family member looking to buy a home over the next two weeks. he was looking to get a 25% referral fee. i agreed immediately and got the appropriate contact information. within the two weeks, i had my customer happily under contract with a $220k home. at about the same time, my boss from my previous job contacted me and said he was looking to make an investment in a rental property. i scoured the hot market for an opportunity, found the perfect one, and executed. before i knew it, i had two properties under contract in my first month for roughly $330k.
the next week, i asked my broker for more phone numbers to call while at the front desk. i wasn’t using time efficiently enough. he gave me a long list of random numbers and names – most of which were rentals – or wrong numbers. i left voicemails for nearly everyone. again, i had nothing but time. from that list, i received a call back immediately from a seller in fernandina beach. he said that my call was one from god and he believed that he put me on his path -- he was just talking with his wife the night before about selling their home. i went to list his house two days later. within a day of being on the market, it was under contract for $265k (roughly $15k above the appraised value).
that one listing brought me one buyer lead who bought another house from me for $200k. then that same week, a seller called in off of one of my flyers. i listed his house and then hosted an open house every weekend and got two buyers and one additional neighbor who wanted me to sell his investment property. that new listing brought me two buyers. and one of those buyers referred to me two other buyers because of the level of service i had provided. my skills were improving dramatically and i was immersed. at that same time, i had also converted two online leads into customers who were under contract with homes in the $220k+ price range. i paid off the leads 4x over within the first few months – so naturally i doubled down on the strategy that i was told over and over and over not to explore and didn’t work.
before i knew it, the business had grown extraordinarily fast relative to my peers and i could sense the resentment in the office -- something i had never felt before. it was strange to me. the other agents had never called the same people i was calling. how could we be in competition if we weren’t fighting for the same opportunities? that was the first time i realized that the office wasn’t a cultural fit for me (although my broker was awesome!) – so i started to work at home – alone – and i was, and am today, hyper-focused on creating my own culture and standards that i will not compromise.
customers were starting to send me referrals and i didn't have the systems in place to serve them at a high level consistently. i was running out of time. so, i immediately stopped what i was doing and stayed up late into the night to create an automated system i could use to better serve my customers. i then spent time making the appropriate connections (inspectors, title, insurance, lenders, contractors, etc.) to serve my customers at the highest level. my work was starting to look more and more like a business.
i quickly found that working 12-14 hour days for myself was better than working 12-14 hour days for someone else. in fact, it didn't feel like work -- i was actually having fun. and it was fun telling brittany, and my family, all about it -- all the setbacks, challenges, and wins. i started seeing my business grow and within a couple months i realized i needed to hire or team up with someone to help me grow even more.

Paying Tuition With a Credit Card - Don't Call the Airline!
Plastiq offers credit-card payment to some schools. I believe that these transactions are counted as a purchase, not a cash advance. You will have the 21 day grace period for interest, and will not incur a cash advance fee. However, Plastiq charges a 1.8%-2.5% service fee (usually the higher number) on the total amount of money paid through that service. This fee makes Plastiq an unattractive option. Here’s my reasoning: every point has a value. For example, I value 1 Aeroplan point at around 1.8c. I value SPG points at 2.1c, etc.
Say my payment over Plastiq is for $10,000. I typically find the fee for schools is 2.5%, which would be a $250 fee for this payment. Say I pay with a credit card that gives me 1.25 Aeroplan points per dollar. The transaction would give me 12,500 Aeroplan points. As each Aeroplan point is worth 1.8c, the value of those points is $225. In this transaction, I have lost $25. Now, if you would be paying your tuition from a high interest line of credit, or a similar instrument, that 21 days interest-free grace period may recover the lost amount. That is probably the only situation where it makes sense to use Plastiq.

Three days into the start of the 32nd America’s Cup, and the fleet still haven’t raced due to lack of wind. Today, the fleet was sent ashore once again after waiting in vain for two hours for the breeze to build and stabilise enough for racing.
BMW Oracle Racing tactician, Gavin Brady, commented: ‘We don’t really feel disappointed. We are here to race, but we want to race in good conditions.’ Brady said that in these extremely light and fickle winds, if one yacht picked up just half a knot more windspeed than another, it could decide the race. ‘We don’t want races to be decided on the roll of the dice,’ he said.

Hello! How was your (hopefully long) weekend? Ours was really nice. I feel like we didn’t do all that much, but when I looked back through the photos on my iPhone that I took over the weekend, we actually did quite a lot of fun stuff. That said, here’s a recap of the best things (15 of them in chronological order) from our weekend!
#1: A challenging, but fun partner workout with Mal at CrossFit on Saturday morning. I felt a little beat up after Friday’s workout (my legs are still sore from the back squats), so I wasn’t sure how the heck I would get through the workout, but I survived. How this WOD worked: One partner worked while the other rested and you couldn’t move on to the next exercise until you finished all of the reps in the previous one.
#2: Post-workout iced coffees from Coffee Shack. Will WOD for iced coffee! Seriously, though, the thought of an iced coffee after a tough workout really does motivate me!
#3: Visiting the cows at Hornstra Farms!
#4: And trying the apple cider donuts.
Oh my gosh, they were incredible. Mal ate 3 of them in like 2 minutes. I think he blacked-out or something.
#5: Picking out our pumpkin (at Hornstra Farms).
#6: Discovering this amazing spider pumpkin stand and realizing that we need one in our life ASAP!
#7: Wearing my new LuLaRoe leggings from my sister (she’s a LuLaRoe consultant) and, whoa, they are comfortable. And Mal saying that they made my legs look long, which no one has ever said to me EVER in my 36 years of life, so they’re a new favorite. FYI: My sister and I are hosting a fundraiser on Facebook to benefit the CCFA on Wednesday, October 26th, so be sure to mark your calendars. She’ll have all sorts of deals and giveaways, too!
#8: Catching up and eating sushi with our friends Elizabeth and Nick. Qman also had a fun playdate, so it was definitely a fun evening for all!
#9: Waking up on Sunday morning to my boys making pancakes!
Please note: Quinn’s cooking tongs and “stick snake” that had to join us for breakfast. Hey, whatever gets him (Quinn, not the stick snake) to eat, right?
#10: Making pizza and sandwiches with Quinn’s play sets, which are such an amazing (and fun) tool for increasing language. Qman’s words are coming like crazy (2 or 3 at a time + new vocabulary ALL THE TIME) and his tantrums are so much better now that he can communicate with us. He’s also a much happier kid nowadays. Hooray for EI!
#11: Getting a bunch of our errands done on Sunday morning, so we had the rest of the long weekend to relax and play.
We all had such a fun time making our own grilled cheese sandwiches and, boy, they were tasty! We’ll definitely have to do Grilled Cheese Night again real soon!
#13: Qman getting a fresh cut. We talked about getting his hair cut for, no joke, probably 3 weeks, so I’m glad that we finally did it. He was getting really shaggy!
#15: Trying Halo Top for the first time and, OMGGGGGG, now I know what I was missing. It’s so friggin’ good and loaded with protein!
I love how it combines fitness and good food! Would love to have a copy for myself.

What was the best thing you ate this past weekend?
We are wrapping up a solid weekend! It was filled with downtime as we got lots of rain from Hurricane Matthew. I hope you are all safe on this Monday morning. I bought the above Halloween masks from Amazon for Mazen’s upcoming classroom Halloween party. For just $6, they were great deal!
On Friday night I spent the night at Sarah’s house, holding down the fort while she and John celebrated their anniversary. I love that Sarah, Lauren and I all have each other backs. Lauren came over to keep me company and help out with the kids. I was so thankful!
We cooked salmon and made this delicious Greek pesto kale salad for dinner. Lauren also threw together some sugar cookies from scratch for the kids to enjoy while watching Beauty and the Beast.
Miraculously, all three kiddos slept through the night. 6:45 was an a-okay wake-up time for me! I went to bed at 9pm just in case they were up all night.
For breakfast we had pumpkin pancakes and cantaloupe. Bless all of you who have three kids!!
I had leftovers for lunch – shrimp and grits heated up with baby kale on the bottom.
We spent the afternoon snuggling, reading, and playing Batman in my room.
Late Saturday afternoon we went out to a friends’ house for a birthday party! There was a big fort and glow sticks for the kids, which they thought was so cool!
I brought this wine from the Wine club – it was fabulous! I pretty much love all red blends.
We had cheese and crackers, guac and chips, and Dr. Ho’s Humble Pie for dinner!
On Sunday I had two soccer games – one at 9am and one at 2. We woke up to breezy, beautiful weather. The calm after the storm!
Mid-day re-fuel. I was craving cheese and salt after playing all 90 minutes of game 1, so I had a little quesadilla, a slice of leftover pizza, and an apple.
My co-ed team won our early game 2-0 and my women’s league lost 7-1…yikes! But it was still a really fun day.
I was supposed to be on my way to Texas today to meet my little niece, but she decided she is just not quite ready to come out yet!! I postponed my flight to November. Can’t wait to meet her!
