Home Buyer & Seller Tips To Get Ready!
Are you ready to buy or sell a home? Considering a move in the future? Here are a few things that you as a home buyer and home seller can focus on in order to get ready to hit the market!
The number ONE thing to do is, of course contact me! : ) We can work together to create a more in-depth plan for all of the items mentioned below. The best part is, all home buyer and home seller consultations are free, no cost, no obligations, and no worries! In this post we will review a few tips to help home buyers and home sellers achieve their real estate goals with the best results possible.
Let's start with getting home buyers ready to purchase their next home. As a home buyer you want to make sure you are in the best position possible, when the time comes to make an offer on the home you love. That is why it is best to plan ahead and work on a few things prior to hitting the market to view homes.
Home Buyer Tips:
- The first and most important thing to do when considering to buy a home is to start the loan pre-qualification / pre-approval process with a reputable lender. Making sure you speak with atleast a couple lenders to ensure you have a great experience is critical. As you want to get the best deal on financing, while avoiding any potential issues throughout the process. The loan pre-approval process is also no cost or obligation. This will simply help you get an idea of what purchase price and monthly payments you are comfortable with. This will also help you identify any items that can increase your qualifications, while reviewing any items that could be effecting you negatively. This will assist you in choosing the best loan program and down payment options that fit your needs. From conventional financing to 0% down options, there are multiple programs to fit your specific situation. Just like when choosing a Realtor, it is critical to choose a lender that offers competitive rates and quality service.
- Identifying what you would like in your next home. There are many different options and it can quickly become overwhelming. After knowing your price range, the next thing to consider is location, size, and what amenities you would like your home to have. Options such as new builds, resale, size, layout, and other specific criteria should be considered. Creating a "must have list" and a "wants list" are always a good idea to help you narrow down these options. This will also help prevent you from viewing any homes that you are not interested in.
- Review the market and your time frame; see what is available within your specific price range, location, and that meets most or all of your needs and wants. It is also important to know what time frame you would like to buy within. As some buyers may be finishing up a lease and need more time and others may need to sell a home in order to purchase another one. There are many other common scenarios as well, which can be accommodated by a knowledgeable real estate agent. For example; you may see a home online that offers everything you want, next you're ready to view the home in person to see if it truly lives up to the photos. Which you have your price range already in mind, financing arranged, and ideal move in time frame set, so you don't miss out on the home you fall in love with.
Now that we have reviewed a few things that home buyers will need to focus on. Here are a few things that home sellers can focus on in order to get their home ready to hit the market and SOLD!
Home Seller Tips:
- First and most important, we want to start by determining your home's value and an estimate of your net proceeds. This includes all closing costs such as your current mortgage payoff amount, along with any other applicable fees such as; title/escrow, HOA, commissions, and property taxes etc. Once this is determined then you can decide if selling your home is beneficial to you and your reason for selling. For example; If you are looking to upgrade or downsize, you will want to make sure that you are able to do so, especially if that decision is based on how much you will make on the sale of your current home.
- Make a plan for your next home, you will want to have a plan in place ahead of time for when your home is sold. Will you be purchasing another home, renting, or moving out of state? This is important to know, as you will need to coordinate each of these options and time frames differently when selling. As you do not want to get under contract with a buyer and not have your next home ready.
- Preparing your home for the market. This is critical once you have decided you are ready to sell your home. It is a great idea to get your home "photo ready" and also complete any unfinished projects if possible. This along with any de-cluttering, and cleaning can go along way. It is important to make sure when photos are taken that the home is presented in the best way possible. As most home buyers will see these photos online before even deciding to view homes in person. We want to attract home buyers to the home by highlighting all that the home has to offer and make sure it's as picture perfect as possible.
Once these areas have been completed you are almost ready to hit the market! Almost.. BUT WAIT! Before you do, please make sure you have a great Realtor to guide you through the transaction… not just any Realtor! Blindly selecting a real estate agent can lead to a bad experience, missing out on a good deal, or even wasting your time and money during the process. Feel free to interview Realtors to find the one that best fits your needs! As there are many Realtors within Arizona, literally thousands just in Maricopa county alone. You want to find an agent that you are comfortable with, who is knowledgeable, experienced, and who can add value to your home purchase and/or the sale of your home. I encourage you to ask questions and do your due diligence to make sure you start off in the right direction.
I hope you have found these tips helpful. As I know it may seem like a lot at first. However I can assure you the more specific you are with these items, the less likely you are to have a bad experience. As mentioned I am always here to help. If needed, I have lender contacts and other amazing resources and information that I am always open to sharing.
Contact me if you have any questions or would like further guidance through the home buying or selling process.

When you are moving, it is important to know exactly what you will need in order to get everything moved. This means having the right supplies. Moving often requires different amounts of things that you will need to make sure your items can be loaded and driven to your new home. The question you got to ask though is what supplies you will need to make it all work.
Top Packing Supplies for Movers
Every mover has different things in their home, and knowing the necessary packing supplies that you will need for your home is going to be a very important first step to getting things underway. Optimove Removals, Brisbane in Australia helped us to write this content by providing a few necessary packing supplies that every mover should use.
Containers are a necessity. Usually, people think of moving boxes, but there are also plastic bins and crates that you can use to move items as well. Boxes are probably the most easily obtain and versatile. They can come in different sizes and you can simply write upon them anywhere you need to, and most boxes are made to stack easily. Plastic bins or crates are not nearly as stackable as a cardboard box due to shape, size, or surface. The benefit here is that they are a lot more sturdy and durable, and can absorb impacts much better than any box. Many people will use boxes for most things and small plastic containers to help hold kitchen ware or fragile items.
The tape is another necessity for most homes. A tape can have a number of functions. Primarily, you can use tape to seal boxes. A box or other container sealed with tape is less likely to open than if you were to fold box flaps or use a container lid alone. Tape can also be used to keep things shut other than boxes. Many people will use tape to keep the drawers on their dressers from rolling out while they are lifting those items. This can also work for filing cabinets or any item with doors or drawers.
Bubble Wrap
Finally, one item that is often very useful but overlooked would be bubble wrap. Bubble wrap is great for a variety of functions as well. You can use it to line boxes so that the items inside of that box will not come to harm. Bubble wrap can also be wrapped around large mirrors and televisions to prevent cracks or scratches to the surface
Your home will have the need for different ways and methods to move, so ensure you have the right supplies when you start planning things. If you have everything you need when it is time to start packing, the process will go much faster and you can keep your items that much safer. You can also start shopping around and buying what you need then store it away until it is time to move.

2019 Group 3 grand final: Wauchope Blues to tackle Macleay Valley Mustangs
Well what a season it has been.
From starting the season in flying form winning six from the opening seven games in the first round after being written off as no hopers by Group 3 commentators.
The Blues showed that they were genuine contenders, which internally we all believed from the very start.
A mid-season form slump started whispers from those critics again saying the Blues weren't much hope in the finals.
However, look at us now staring down the barrel of a home grand final, the first in five years and let me tell you as the proud president of this great club it feels great!
After hosting the grand final in 2014 ironically against Macleay Valley, the Blues have been in a bit of a rebuilding stage.
Last year saw the Blues back in the finals for the first time since 2014 and they fell just short - finishing third.
To be back contending for grand finals is a credit to the players who have stuck around and all of the committee members, support staff and of course the die hard supporters ... thank you.
To see how the community jumps behind the club at times like this is a proud display of community spirit.
They have literally painted the town blue and red this past week.
Come Sunday, we will be ready to write some more memories into those proud history books of the Blues and I encourage all proud Wauchopians to come out to Lank Bain and cheer your footy team on.
On a final note I'd like to wish coach Anthony Boyd and all the boys that are not only playing on the weekend but also been involved with the first grade side this year all the very best of luck, bring it home you mighty Blues.

MADISON HEIGHTS, Mich., July 27, 2015 — In comments to the Department of Labor, BetterInvesting said the nonprofit organization fully supports the proposed amendment to broaden the definition of those considered a fiduciary under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, which covers the regulation of employee pension and welfare benefit programs offered by employers.
"It is our belief that the proposed rule and its intent help to better define the term fiduciary and make sure that said fiduciaries are held to the highest standards of conduct when advising those in retirement plans as well as maintaining the best interests of the asset owner in all investment advice," said the BetterInvesting board of directors' Individual Investor Advocacy Committee.
"In other words, the rule provides needed protection from paid advisers who put their own interests and compensation above those whom they are advising, creating a huge conflict of interest.
"The impact of this rule should help to assure investors that the advice and recommendations they are given are in their best interest (ethically and) financially, and hence should lead to better investment results over time."
BetterInvesting also recommended that the Securities and Exchange Commission and FINRA establish the appropriate standard of care for brokers and dealers.
"Specifically, when recommending a security or strategy to retail investors, broker-dealers [should] be required to ensure that the recommendation is in the 'best interest' of the investor," the IIAC said.
As background, there are two standards of care in the financial industry: suitability and fiduciary. The fiduciary standard requires a financial representative to always act in the best interest of the client, while a suitability standard requires only that an investment product only be suitable for a client's situation.
"Given that most of our membership base owns the type of retirement accounts covered by the proposed rule, we agree that it is a high priority and in the best interest of our membership to support the proposed rule and its intent," the IIAC said.
Members of the IIAC are:
- Robert Brooker
- John Gannon
- Roger Ganser
- Allen Holdsworth
- Julie Werner
- Kamie Zaracki
The association submitted the comments to the Department of Labor after Labor solicited comments to amendment RIN 1210-AB32 to 29 CFR 2510.3-21(c). For more information about the proposal, go to this blog entry at the Department of Labor's website:
About BetterInvesting

Founded in Detroit, the association (formerly known as National Association of Investors Corporation) was borne out of the conviction that anyone can become a successful long-term investor by following commonsense investing practices. BetterInvesting has helped more than 5 million people become better, more informed investors by providing webinars, in-person events, easy-to-use online tools for analyzing stocks, a monthly magazine and a community of volunteers and like-minded investors.

Desperate: Hope for the Mom Who Needs to Breathe - Sarah Mae & Sally Clarkson
Older women likewise are to be reverent in their behavior, not malicious gossips nor enslaved to much wine, teaching what is good, so that they may encourage the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, to be sensible, pure, workers at home, kind, being subject to their own husbands, so that the word of God will not be dishonored. -Titus 2:3–5
Before I became a Mom, I obviously had no idea what it meant to be a mother. I remember wondering if I would love my children more than my dogs (ha!). If I would be a good Mom, be able to see past my own needs and desires in order to nurture another human being. And then my son was born and in an instant my heart was beating outside of my body, it was no longer my own, he held it in his hands.
I remember the surprise of my second pregnancy- a little life I had not anticipated and would never have sought on my own. I wondered if I would ever love this next baby as much as my first. If there was any way I could handle two little ones day in and day out. And then my daughter was born, and she looked into my eyes, it was love as first sight.
Nobody tells you how hard it is, this incredible job of raising children, of molding young souls to know and love the Lord. I had no idea there would be so many sleepless nights, days where I literally make myself get up in the morning to change another diaper or cuddle a child to sleep. I had no idea that I would second guess every word, every decision, every moment, asking myself- did I teach them something? Have I crushed their spirit? Do they see God in me? Do they notice I'm struggling right now? Do they know how much I love them? Desperate: Hope for the Mom Who Needs to Breathe by Sarah Mae & Sally Clarkson was a breath of fresh air to my soul. I am convinced this book is for every Mom. For the joyous Mom celebrating their baby's first steps to the exhausted Mom patiently discipling her screaming toddler or rebellious teenager, this book gives you hope that God has a plan and purpose for motherhood.
The authors start with an honest confession about their own struggles with raising children. Sarah Mae goes so far as to say this, "Let me pull back the curtain on the idea that just because you love and are thankful to be a mother, parenting will come easily or naturally. The lifetime commitment that is motherhood will, many days, stretch you beyond what you think you can handle." Author Sally Clarkson, who treasures her role as a mentor to young Moms, explains Desperate in these terms, "We are making a plea for older women to remember the tired years and come alongside young mothers, so that our children and our children's children will know how to serve and to receive help." Each Chapter of the book begins with a question or struggle from young mother Sarah Mae and then an answer of wisdom from Sally Clarkson. There are also scripture verses, journaling questions and an activity to drive home the lesson from each section.
I often find myself struggling with the monotony of being a stay at home Mom to young children. It is easier to stay in than lug around all the necessary equipment required to leave the house with two children. Nap times and early bedtimes mean we're usually tied down to the house. Honestly, having little ones is not at all conducive to having an exciting social life. Then, taking into consideration my need for quiet in order to recharge....well, we don't have a lot of that around here! Desperate: Hope for the Mom Who Needs to Breathe, reminded me that we must first turn to God in order to have the strength to parent. Family and friends are here to help recharge and love on our littles ones so that we can take a step back and focus. Clarkson stresses the importance of surrounding yourself with wise women who can help you grow in the Lord. She believes that it is helpful to find women who are strong mothers and raised children in the knowledge of Christ so that we might emulate them.
Desperate was such a wonderful book. It reminded me about the beauty of motherhood and the high calling it is to invest in our children's lives. The scripture, stories and encouragement truly breathed life into my tired mommy moments. I felt encouraged both spiritually and mentally- knowing that it is ok to feel overwhelmed at times, as long as you remember Who to bring your burdens to. Jesus uniquely equips each of us to parent the children we have been given and, as we turn to him, he gives us all we need to succeed. I will never be a perfect Mom, but I can love God with all my heart and love my neighbor as myself. My children will see the love of Christ in me, and in the end, isn't that all they need?
Get this book my mommy friends, it is honest, hopeful and helpful!
Disclosure of Material: I received this book free from the publisher via Book Sneeze. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.

Photography is under attack. Across the country it that seems anyone with a camera is being targeted as a potential terrorist, whether amateur or professional, whether landscape, architectural or street photographer. Not only is it corrosive of press freedom but creation of the collective visual history of our country is extinguished by anti-terrorist legislation designed to protect the heritage it prevents us recording. This campaign is for everyone who values visual imagery, not just photographers. We must work together now to stop this before photography becomes a part of history rather than a way of recording it.

When it's time for you look for local businesses to help you with your wedding, take a look at our advertisements below. Most will have links to their own websites. These advertisements are updated regularly so please revisit often and mention Your Hampshire and Dorset Wedding when making any enquiries.
The brand was born in 2015 in humble beginnings; a Danish kitchen. The range contains over 40 products, each of which is made up of 100% organic oils, combined with the highest quality natural peptides and vitamins. Everything is still produced in Denmark and the formulations are 100% paraben free and vegan (excluding natural beeswax in the brand's Multi Balm and Lip Balms). Their founder Tina Sgaard believes so strongly in honesty and transparency that all the ingredients are listed on each and every bottle. In fact, a selection of products within the range are so pure they're actually perfectly safe to eat.
The brand's bestsellers include an acid infused Peeling Mask to give skin a youthful glow, a Super Serum to relax facial muscles thus reducing fine lines, and a Night Cream to stimulate collagen production whilst you sleep. The entire range is affordably priced to ensure everyone can reap the benefits.
Already distributed in more than 450 doors in Denmark, Ecooking is set to expand into an additional 20 countries by the end of 2018 including the UK. The Danish brand will launch at a number of UK retailers this September including Cult Beauty, Feel Unique, John Bell & Croyden and Indulge Beauty.
Tried & Tested
We were delighted when we was ask to try some of the new products...
Clay Mask
"This gorgeous clay mask is so easy to apply. It has a really thick texture that provides great coverage. There's a satisfying tingle when it's on and you can almost feel it unclogging your pores. It is quite drying so I wouldn't use it on very sensitive skin, but if you have an oily complexion it really left my face feeling soft and smooth." - Hannah Faulder
"I don't use face masks often so I was a little apprehensive about trying the Fugtmaske. It's designed to exfoliate the dead skin cells and boost the production of new cells to create soft and clear skin. I found it really easy to use but be careful you don't apply too much! A thin layer is more than enough, I left it on for 10 minutes and I noticed instant results. I have dry skin and I found this product really helped my face look more moisturised and healthier." - Melissa Barker
Super Serum
"A little goes a long way with this Super Serum. It absorbs quickly and leaves skin feeling fresh, smooth and plumped ready for makeup. I've actually received compliments on my skin since using it" - Kelly Andrews
Stram Op Firming Serum Capsules
"I loved that fact that each capsule contains exactly the required amount, so there's no need to worry about how much or little to apply. The serum has an oily texture, meaning it spread really well, covering the whole face with ease. It absorbs quickly and left my skin feeling smooth with no oily residue. I'll definitely continue using for the recommended 2 months and look forward to seeing the results" - Jackie Andrews
Acne Serum, £43
"This little gem is absolutely making its way in to my perminant morning routine. Fragrance free and gentle on the skin, ECOOKING's Acne Serum is ideal for reducing redness and preventing bacterial growth on the skins surface, and really helped to clear up my complexion. Plus, it's 100 per cent vegan - what is not too love?" - Annie Cannock
Peel Maske
"I have to admit, I was a little anxious about using a peeling mask at first, especially as I have sensitive skin. However, this is a great no-frills product with no fancy fragrance or packaging and does exactly what it says on the tin! It did have a slight stinging sensation and my face was bright red after I rinsed it off, but it soon faded leaving my skin feeling smooth and rejuvenated. Best used at night, I followed the instructions to the letter and was delighted with the results." - Sarah Reeve
Facial Cleansing Gel
"My skin is super-sensitive, so I when I saw this Facial Cleansing Gel was fragrance free I jumped at the chance to test it out - and it didn't disappoint. I didn't get any nasty reactions that i usually get and my skin felt thoroughly cleansed and had a smooth finish. I used in the morning and at night and started to notice a natural glow too" - Kay Tilbury
Natcreme Night Cream
"I am usually dubious about any product claiming to have the same effect as injectibles like Botox but I decided to give the Ecooking Natcreme Night Cream for the face a try. After all, at 41 I decided anything was worth a go! I really liked the thick rich consistency of this product which was almost like butter. It sunk into my skin really well (leaving no residue on my pillow!) and I loved the scent with just a hint of citrus. After just a few days, I really felt like my skin was beginning to look different, more 'full' with a couple of lines definitely appearing softer. This is going to be a product that I will be buying more of! - Claire Ridley
Multi Balm
"If you love Elizabeth Arden's 8-hour cream (50ml) you'll love Multi Balm eCooking (75ml). It's an all-round skin repair balm, providing intense moisture and skin repair benefits for sunburn, eczema, dry skin, insect bites and more, for all over the body. In fact, I think it's more intensive and works better than Elizabeth Arden's and it's better value for money to boot. I have eczema badly on my leg and have probably tried around 30 different products to clear it up and this is the only thing that ever has! I have a new go-to multi balm, thanks Ecooking! - Danielle Harvey

Weekly Roundup: Oil and Political Hot Water
The plotline of Florida's summer of oil got a little thicker this week.
Tarballs started making their way onto Pensacola Beach as sheen from the Deepwater Horizon rig neared the state's Gulf coastline for the first time since the April 20 disaster. State leaders including Gov. Charlie Crist, Attorney General Bill McCollum and Chief Financial Officer Alex Sink all made detours to the Florida Panhandle – with political careers and the state's tourist industry now at stake.
Crist also upped the ante on British Petroleum – requesting an additional $50 million from the company to help offset cleanup and cover economic damage and another $100 million for long-term monitoring of the oil threat.
As the oil approached, Crist took to the airwaves, becoming a steady television presence.
"Of course we're angry. We're frustrated, we're concerned, you know, it's very discouraging," Crist told CNN. "But I also have a responsibility to lead. And in order to be able to lead, you've got to keep a cool head to win a hot game. And this is a hot game."
The oil spill also gave Crist a good diversion from the week's major political event – the arrest of former Republican Party Chairman Jim Greer on six felony counts, with two charges each carrying a potential 30-years in prison. Greer is accused of skimming off more than $125,000 from the state GOP last year through a company he set up with former party executive director Delmar Johnson, who is cooperating with state investigators.
Through his lawyer, Damon Chase, Greer said he is innocent -- a victim of politics.
But Greer's own political toxicity is likely to spread. Crist and his independent campaign for U.S. Senate are certain to be fouled by the demise of his hand-picked party boss who, in a touch of irony, is the first major bust of the statewide grand jury Crist asked the Florida Supreme Court to empanel last year.
Within hours of Greer's arrest, Republican U.S. Senate contender Marco Rubio had posted a Web ad attempting to lash Crist to the disgraced chairman. Republican gubernatorial candidate Rick Scott also tried to tar his GOP rival, Bill McCollum, by calling Greer the "kingmaker" for the attorney general.
Democratic Party Chair Karen Thurman sought to bring McCollum deeper into the scandal, accusing Statewide Prosecutor William Shepherd of steering the Greer investigation away from the attorney general, after personally donating $500 to his campaign.
While prosecutors have completed at least the first phase of the Greer probe, the remainder of the Florida summer will remain politically hot. Plenty of Capital-watchers expect more charges to emerge, possibly stemming from the $7 million in party credit-card spending rung-up during Greer's three-year reign as GOP boss, or from campaign contributions that flowed in-and-out of party coffers.
Democrats mostly feasted on the Republican Party woes this week. But they drew their own wild card with the declared candidacy of Lawton "Bud" Chiles III, the son of the late Democratic senator and governor, who said he will run for governor as an independent.
Bud Chiles plans to run an outsider campaign – shunning corporate money while seeking support by navigating the narrow channel between voter disdain for Florida's current state power structure and his family's historic place in that pantheon.
As an independent, Chiles heads straight for the November ballot and a collision with presumptive Democratic gubernatorial nominee Alex Sink. While he may be the longest of shots, the 57-year-old political son is still a factor – with any votes coming Chiles' way almost certain to be peeled away from Sink's Democratic base.
Watch for Democrats to continue to exert pressure on Chiles to fold.
Amid the oil and political hot water, some policy issues did get settled this week.
Crist decided legislation pivoting on Florida homeowners.
He signed into law a measure requiring property appraisers to lower the values of homes – and tax bills – for the thousands of Floridians plagued by defective drywall. Crist then vetoed legislation that would have allowed insurance companies to raise their homeowners' rates by as much as 10 percent without going through a lengthy regulatory review.
Crist cited "very difficult economic times," for the veto – saying he would side with consumers over an insurance industry he has forced to play Wile E. Coyote to his Roadrunner during his term as chief executive.
Legislation bolstering firefighter death benefits, 911 training, and adding more advisors to the state's public investment board also were okayed by Crist, as the remaining measures from the 2010 Legislature wind down. He also signed a bill banning the ownership of pythons and other invasive reptiles.
The lone bill still not sent to Crist for his review is the controversial HB 1143, which would require women seeking an abortion to undergo an ultrasound and have it described to them in many cases. The legislation has been withheld by House Speaker Larry Cretul, R-Ocala, apparently in an attempt to draw more calls, letters and E-mails in support of a measure Crist has indicated he may veto.
But by Friday, the calendar turned on Day 35 since lawmakers approved the bill.
Although Crist signed into law the state's $70.2 billion budget last Friday, this week a Leon County judge issued a decision that could shape where future state dollars go. Circuit Judge Frank Sheffield ruled that lawmakers cannot redirect civil court fees to patch up other areas of the state budget – saying such moves are unconstitutional.
Legislative leaders didn't immediately respond to the ruling – which could affect millions of dollars scattered through the state budget. But the case, brought by lawyers concerned about court delays caused by the diversion of needed fees, is likely to eventually end in the state Supreme Court, attorneys from all sides said.
STORIES OF THE WEEK: Oil -- coming; Jim Greer – going, maybe for more than 30 years.
QUOTE OF THE WEEK: "Greer has become the Deepwater Horizon of the Republican Party," said David Johnson, a longtime GOP consultant and former party executive director. "He just continues to spew out a black goo that seems to spread everywhere."

What is SEO?
SEO is the application of various strategies to improve the search rankings of a website. These strategies range from on-page optimization, quality content, to authoritative link building. SEO is an important piece to any online marketing plan and with a well-rounded strategy; most any website can see improved ran
Do you offer any guarantees?
Google warns to stay away from companies claiming to guarantee rankings. Any company that says they can is being dishonest, as Google's algorithm changes frequently.

While we cannot guarantee top rankings, we have a proven track record of delivering results to our clients. Read our case studies to learn how we have been a valuable partner to so many successful businesses.
How long does it take to see results?
With over 200 different ranking signals, it is difficult to predict how long it will take a website to rank. In our experience clients typically see significant improvement on long tail keywords in the first 90 days and more competitive search terms around 180 days. SEO is a long-term strategy but has consistently proven to provide the best ROI.
Should my business use SEO?
SEO is an investment into the future of your company. The organic traffic generated from search engine optimization has a much higher ROI in the long-term, than that of paid search traffic. If your website isn't on page 1 for your top keywords, you are missing out on a large piece of your online potential.

1 February 2011 Graduate School, part 2 of 4 (hopefully)
My second semester of library school is upon me. Working 20-ish hours a week, going to school full time, and doing an internship two days a week is always a fun way to spend a few months. It kind of hit me today just how much work I have to do just for this week, meaning just readings and short essays, no long-term projects or big papers have been started yet. It's kind of terrifying. Two of my classes are rife with people who already seem to know what they're doing, whereas I don't. (Example: "Hi, my name is So-and-So, I was the studio art director at Company for ten years. This is my second career. In my old job I did a lot of *work pertinent to class topic* so I have a background in this. I'm just looking to expand my knowledge base in *obscure sub-topic that I didn't even know about.*) Then the professor glows at them and asks a lot of lively questions I don't understand and they both throw out a bunch of acronyms I can't begin to guess at. Meh. I guess I'll catch on eventually. Maybe after I finish reading and writing an essay about the seven journal articles assigned for this week…

We are in the fourth month of adoption paperwork, trying very hard to get everything wrapped up. Since we have never done anything like this before it's been one lesson after another. Most of it has gone smoothly but one of the most frustrating parts so far has been getting documents notarized and apostilled. You've probably heard of a notary before– someone who verifies a signature. But I had never heard of an apostille before beginning the adoption process. What is it? An "apostille" is a form of authentication issued to documents for use in countries that participate in the Hague Convention of 1961. Basically it's another layer of paperwork.
We have sent documents to the Secretary of State's office in Iowa, South Carolina and North Carolina in order for them to be apostilled. But as we were wrapping up our paperwork we had about 30 documents that needed an apostille so we decided to stop at the South Carolina Secretary of State's office on our way through the capitol last week. I figured this was just another hoop to jump through, another waiting room to sit in. But I did not expect more than half of our documents to get thrown out. In order to save someone else a headache, here are three things to look out for when you're having your adoption paperwork notarized:
1. SIGNATURES: One of our reference letters was not approved because it had been notarized, but not actually signed! Oops! The purpose of a notary is to verify a signature, so I guess I can see how this would not be approved.
2. MIDDLE INITIALS: All of our medical documents were thrown out because the notary at our doctor's office did not sign her name with her middle initial. Given the fact that our medical documents were the most difficult to complete this was extremely disheartening. Because her notary application included her middle initial, she should have used her middle initial in her signature. I was very mad at the letter H that day, but we've since made up.
3. DATES: It seems perfectly rational to me that someone may type up a letter and not have it notarized until a later date, hence making the dates on the letter and the notarization not match. But in the eyes of the Secretary of State's office this is a BIG no-no. So to save yourself a whole lot of headache, I'd just advise keeping dates off your letters. Because the silly thing is, dates aren't required, but if you do happen to include them and they don't match you'll be in big trouble!
I'm sure there are many other ways to mess up a document you need apostilled, but these are the three areas that gave us hang ups. So now we have to go back to all of the people that created these, have the documents redone, signed and notarized again, so we can return to the Secretary of State and try to have our apostille process completed once again. Yay! Let's hope we don't get stuck in any more red tape for a while.

Katsaridaphobia, as everyone knows, is the extreme fear of cockroaches. And it probably won't help those living with katsaridaphobia to know that cockroaches can pass through holes and cracks as narrow as 2,54 millimetres.
So now that you're even more wary of the kitchen drain, it might help to know that researchers at the University of California, Berkley have modelled a robot on the physical abilities of the American cockroach. This could potentially aid in search-and-rescue operations in rubble resulting from natural disasters or explosions.
Tests found that cockroaches can withstand forces of up to 900 times their body weight without injury, and they have completely malleable exoskeletons. This exoskeleton is what gives them the ability to flatten themselves out to squeeze through crevices. But, even in this flattened position, cockroaches are able to move at incredible speed.
This physical trait has inspired the Compressible Robot with Articulated Mechanisms, also known as CRAM. The palm-sized robot palm-sized robot has a malleable shield to protect itself. It also splays its legs outward when it is squashed.
In the event of an earthquake, first responders need to know if an area of rubble is stable and safe. The challenge is, most robots can't get into rubble," said Robert Full, a professor of integrative biology at UC Berkeley. "But if there are lots of cracks and vents and conduits, you can imagine just throwing a swarm of these robots in to locate survivors and safe entry points for first responders."
Although CRAM is only in prototype stage, Full says it shows the feasibility of soft robots with exoskeletons. Their finding have been published in an early edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Watch the video above to see CRAM in action. Warning: this video is not for the phobic.

Polylactide (PLA) is a biodegradable and bioactive thermoplastic aliphatic polyester derived from renewable resources, such as corn starch, cassava roots, chips or starch (mostly in Asia), or sugarcane. In 2010, PLA had the second highest consumption volume of any bioplastic of the world.
PLA can be used as a decomposable packaging material, either cast, injection-molded, or spun. Cups and bags have been made from this material. In the form of a film, it shrinks upon heating, allowing it to be used in shrink tunnels. It is useful for producing loose-fill packaging, compost bags, food packaging, and disposable tableware. In the form of fibers and nonwoven fabrics, PLA also has many potential uses, for example as upholstery, disposable garments, awnings, feminine hygiene products, and diapers. Thanks to its bio-compatibility and biodegradability, PLA has also found ample interest as a polymeric scaffold for drug delivery purposes.

Dear Apple, Please Make the iPhone Smarter
While we're wishing I wish Apple would make the iPhone sexier. Who wants a smarter phone? Not me. I want a dumb one that doesn't talk back and looks cool. My phone does everything I want it to and more. In fact, the smarter they make this thing, the dumber I feel. Everything is just so hard anymore! I want to go back to the days when people saw you had an iPhone and asked, "Can I touch it?"

Dear Parents
First Reconciliation
Please pray for these children who will be receiving the Sacrament of Reconciliation for the first time tonight in the church at 6.30 pm. Shaun Clapperton, Bridie Kinney, Claire Kinney, George Nally, Greta Wallace, Caleb Wolf, Jennifer Thomson and Lucy Nind.
A big thank you to Miss O'Neill, Fr Jacob and the PTA members for there contribution to a very successful day.
Mass/Picnic Lunch
Thank you for your support at last Sundays Mass and at the PTA shared lunch in the hall afterwards. It was a great turnout.
During the War, a US marine was separated from his unit. The fighting had been intense, and in the smoke and the crossfire he had lost touch with his comrades.
Alone in the hills, he could hear enemy soldiers coming in his direction. Scrambling for cover, he found his way up a high ridge to several small caves in the rock. Quickly he crawled inside one of the caves. Although safe for the moment, he realized that once the enemy soldiers looking for him swept up the ridge, they would quickly search all the caves and he would be killed.
As he waited, he prayed, "Lord, if it be your will, please protect me. Whatever your will though, I love you and trust you. Amen."
After praying, he lay quietly listening to the enemy begin to draw close. He thought, "Well, I guess the Lord isn't going to help me out of this one.." Then he saw a spider begin to build a web over the front of his cave.
As he watched, listening to the enemy searching for him, all the while, the spider layered strand after strand of web across the opening of the cave.
Ha, he thought. "What I need is a brick wall and what the Lord has sent me is a spider web.
God does have a sense of humour."
As the enemy drew closer he watched from the darkness of his hideout and could see them searching one cave after another. As they came to his, he got ready to make his last stand. To his amazement, however, after glancing in the direction of his cave, they moved on. Suddenly, he realized that with the spider web over the entrance, his cave looked as if no one had entered for quite a while. "Lord, forgive me," prayed the young man. "I had forgotten that in you a spider's web is stronger than a brick wall."
We all face times of great trouble. When we do, it is so easy to forget the victories that God would work in our lives, sometimes in the most surprising ways. As the great leader, Nehemiah, reminded the people of Israel when they faced the task of rebuilding Jerusalem,
"In God we will have success!" [Nehemiah 2:20]
Remember: Whatever is happening in your life, with God, a mere spider's web can become a brick wall of protection. Believe He is with you always. Just speak His name through Jesus His son, and you will see His great power and love in your life.

Treasures to unfold?
Search beneath the surface?
Search and find the gold!

Take a look on our class blogspot to: watch some video footage we took while we were down there. http://room81shsinv.blogspot.com/

Child's Definition of LOVE
A group of professional people posed this question to a group of 4 to 8 year-olds, "What does love mean?" The answers they got were broader and deeper than anyone could have imagined. See what you think:
"When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn't bend over and paint her toenails anymore. So my grandfather does it for her all the time, even when his hands got arthritis too. That's love." Rebecca – age 8
When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different. You know that your name is safe in their mouth." Billy – age 4
"Love is what makes you smile when you're tired." Terri – age 4
"Love is like a little old woman and a little old man who are still friends even after they know each other so well." Tommy – age 6
Author and lecturer Leo Buscaglia once talked about a contest he was asked to judge. The purpose of the contest was to find the most caring child. The winner was a four year old child whose next door neighbor was an elderly gentleman who had recently lost his wife. Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy went into the old gentleman's yard, climbed onto his lap, and just sat there. When his Mother asked him what he had said to the neighbor, the little boy said, "Nothing, I just helped him cry."
Class Happenings
Room 7 would like to share excerpts from our narratives from viewing the production of Jack and the Beanstalk the SIT drama students preformed. More can be viewed on our blogsite. http://room7shs.blogspot.com/
Once upon a time there was a boy called Jack. Oh, and a mum called Mrs Trot. Jack had nearly $20,000 but no one knows what happened to it as it drained away. Obviously everything they owned had disappeared. Just a small little hut and a cow named Daisy. Their cat ran away and not even a penny was left.
Then one day a giant came and they needed to get money! So Mum asked Jack ''We need to sell Daisy to get money, so will you sell her?'' ''But…'' replied Jack. "NOW!!", shouted Mum so Jack was off. NATHAN
Jack climbed the beanstalk and when they got to giant Blunderbor's castle, giant Blunderbor's wife came out and said "I used to be so much prettier and you probably wouldn't know I'm 21". When Mrs Blunerbor left, a dragon appeared and Jack asked, "If you're a magic dragon can you dance? "The dragon nodded and danced techno. NATALYA
When Fleshcreep (he's a slave for the giant) asked Miss Trott to pay the taxes, Miss Trott had no money to pay. They sold Daisy. They gave their Mum the money but it was not money. It was magic beans! In the morning the vegetable fairy woke Jack up so early and he was so tired. MITCHELL
Jack opened his curtains and Wow a humongous stalk was growing outside his window. Jack raced outside. He started to climb it. The beanstalk was very high. It was so high that it passed into the clouds. At the top of the stalk there was a big castle. KAYNE
Jack came back with beans instead of money. So Mrs Trot threw them out the window. The next morning there was a big beanstalk. Jack was climbing it to the top and found a big castle, a giant's castle! He crept up to the door and opened it quietly. A big voice boomed through the doorway.
It was the giant's voice. TOM
Meanwhile in the morning he opened his curtains and saw a beanstalk so he climbed it. He climbed up and up and up. Higher he saw an enormous grey castle. He crept in and killed the giant and they lived happily ever after. AIMEE
Thank you for the efforts you make in having the children in the correct uniform.
A couple of reminders:
1. Long sleeve thermals are not to be seen under sports shirts. The children need to wear their jersey for warmth. They will be asked to take off the thermal or put their jersey on.
2. Sports shoes are to be worn with sports uniform only.
3. We do have 'nasty nits' in school at the moment, so please keep long hair tied up.
Thank you for your support helping the children wear their uniform with pride.

Gardener, pilot killed after plane crashes into Midrand garden
A female pilot and a gardener are dead after a light plane crashed into a residence in Vorna Valley' Midrand' on Monday.
Police spokesman Captain Kay Makhubele said the incident happened at around 11.30am.
"Both people were declared dead on scene'" he said.
The plane had not hit the house but had crashed into the yard.
An eyewitness who is a neighbour told TimesLIVE that she had rushed to the scene shortly after the crash where she tried to make conversation with the injured gardener in a bid to reassure him that help was on its way.
"He was lying on his side. It looked like his face had been partially cut by the plane'" said Lebo Magolego.
"The blood on his face was just so thick'" she said' adding that he was traumatised by the ordeal.
A pilot and a civilian have died after a light aircraft crashed into the backyard of a residential property in #Midrand. It is believed that the civilian was working in the garden when the plane came down. Authorities are on scene. #sabcnews pic.twitter.com/VfLd9Ynhbv— Jamaine Krige (@jour_maine) October 8, 2018
She enquired about his name and called out to him.
The gardener was said to have been a foreign national.
"I asked him to move his fingers but he was hardly moving but I kept asking him to show me if he can hear me'" she said.
Magolego said when she looked around the scene she saw a woman slouched inside the plane's cockpit.
"She had braids on her head and was lying on her side'" Magolego said.
The female pilot had been travelling alone.
Malogelo said she had been in bed when she heard what sounded like a plane right above her roof.
"It sounded like the engine was troubled'" she said' adding that moments after this' she heard a huge thud.
Malogelo told TimesLIVE that the plane had rested on the bark of a tree and it had partially hit another neighbour's wall.
Police had cordoned off the area leading to the house as aviation authorities and medics continued to comb the crash site.
A fire engine was positioned outside the house as scores of neighbour's stood near the tape' peering into the yard.
Makhubele told TimesLIVE the bodies of the two deceased were yet to be removed from the scene.

Georgia Man Shoots Would-be Robber at Family Dollar Store
DeKalb County, Georgia – just before 10 a.m. on Tuesday, a man walked into the Family Dollar store on Covington Highway, pulled a gun on a clerk, and demanded money. It was the last thing he would ever do, as a 'good guy with a gun' took him out.
11Alive reported,
According to DeKalb Police Sgt. Lynn Shuler, the robber had a gun pointed directly at the face of the clerk who was standing at the front counter of the store.
"While the store was getting robbed, a Good Samaritan intervened," Shuler said. "He shot the suspect several times."
The customer heard the commotion at the front of the store and when he walked to the front, saw the would-be robber with his gun pointed at the face of the clerk, Shuler said. The customer, who was also armed, pulled his own weapon and fired at the robber.
The suspect was pronounced dead at the scene.

The customer who came to the clerk's rescue heard what was transpiring, and acted to put a stop to it. Police stated that the "Good Samaritan" would not be charged. There were at least three customers and two employees in the store at the time of the incident. No other people were harmed.
As usual, the leftists threw a fit that a man was shot to death at a Dollar Store.

Quite a loss for humanity.

Since when killing for a few dollars become a good thing?
— #The Real Eric Haber (@TheRealEricHab1) January 30, 2019
I'm confused…."Good Samaritan" kills another human being? Hmmm.
— American (@rgram06) January 29, 2019
The thing all these people are missing is that the "Good Samaritan" in the Bible saved the life of the person who had been beaten and robbed. In those days, even now, someone who has been beaten severely and left alone could die. It's about saving lives, and the customer with the gun did just that. Armed robbers aren't generally your average nice person who deserves a slap on the wrist. If they are using a weapon to demand money, they are likely to harm someone.
The clerk was "rattled," according to police but unharmed. And that's the way it should be…no one else injured.

There's a bad movie virtually every week–sometimes there is even more than one. But Movie Embarrassments are more rare and, in a way, more lasting. These are not necessarily the very worst movies, but they are in a special category of bad that seems to reveal aspects of the filmmakers they shouldn't have wanted to reveal, or they present actors in ways that are decidedly and hauntingly unflattering.
Today we take a look at some of examples of Movie Embarrassments. Feel free to add your own examples in the comments.

Purple & Grey Carrie's Prom Dress - S$1,695.00
Each garment is one-of-a-kind, handmade from vintage clothing, fabrics, and accessories.
"I'm going to give you a present, Momma," said Carrie to her mother, Margaret... And while Carrie gave her mother a heart attack, we at Rentrayage pay homage to this timeless thriller with our own version of Carrie's prom dress... Contrasting vintage blue floral patterns compete with each other in a straight-up- and-down bout of mother-daughter sexual tension, until we are fashionably met by leveling offset bands of deeper and darker blue prints—perhaps, symbolic of Margaret's undiagnosed schizophrenia? Or of Carrie's emboldened coming-of-age? Whichever it is, this prom dress will always be the Belle of the ball.
- Cotton
- Dry clean
- Each Rentrayage item is one of a kind made from up cycled vintage clothing and materials.

Marcia Mayeda, the embattled head of the Los Angeles County Department of Animal Care and Control has firmly signalled to Los Angeles' volunteers, staff and rescue community that the word 'Care' needs to be removed from the department's moniker with this week's hiring of Pat Claerbout as the new head of the high-intake Baldwin Park Shelter.
It was with great dismay that we read the results of a Google search on her name. The first entry is from Sacramento's local television Station KQCR which investigated her tenure as director of the Stockton Animal Shelter and concluded "a months-long investigation into the Stockton Animal Shelter finds laws were broken…" and that she euthanized pets in violation of the Hayden Act. The second story is headlined "Pat Claerbout killed 996 animals her first month on the job, and in a television interview said that will continue." The third story is an article from the Stockton Record from January 2014 detailing her stewardship of the Stockton Animal Shelter.
The oft-criticized Stockton Animal Shelter is under fire again, this time from three local citizens and the Animal Legal Defense Fund, a national advocacy organization that is preparing to take its grievances to court.
The organization alleges in a 27-page complaint an "ongoing pattern and practice of abuse" that has resulted in "the unnecessary and wrongful killing of numerous impounded animals in direct contravention of Stockton's municipal code and the laws of the State of California."
Our search showed multiple petitions seeking to remove her (which might make her a kindred soul to Mayeda – since there are plenty of well-deserved petitions demanding Mayeda's ouster) and not one flattering story. Marcia Mayeda must have done her due diligence before hiring Claerbout. She knows and approves who and what she is bringing into her shelter system.
We would like to keep an open mind about Claerbout's hiring – but the available information makes us doubtful at best.
In other Baldwin Park news, rumors are swirling around the shelter that Mayeda is trying to demoralize the shelter staff and will soon be implementing transfers to break up the committed, proactive team. Her alleged reason for instituting the transfers is that the shelter, under its popular previous manager, was getting too much positive recognition nationally and not just within the community it serves.
Temporary Baldwin Park Shelter manager Gayle Miley, who has worked diligently to alienate staff and volunteers at Baldwin Park, is rumored to have been tapped by Mayeda to head up the Carson shelter which leaves the fate of Carson's manager Gil Moreno in question.
This all coincides with the city of Bradbury terminating its relationship with the DACC and hiring another agency to handle its animal control, and with the city of La Puente allegedly also dissatisfied and looking to leave.
When asked about the developments, a DACC insider who is not a member of the Marcia Mayeda fan club reminded me that all new hires are subject to a six month probationary period, and urged everyone to make their opinions of Ms. Claerbout's performance known not just to Mayeda, but to the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors and every Mayor and City Council member that the Baldwin Park Shelter serves, before shaking her head and wondering aloud, "I think it's time to teach Marcia how to use Google. I know it works on her computer the same way it does on yours and mine!"

Based on the belief that the truth shall set you free:
Forty-eight hours before ordering U.S. troops into Iraq a year ago, Bush told the American people, "There's no certainty in war but the certainty of sacrifice."
For some.
In the spring of 1997, while serving as Mobilization Plans Officer for the Texas National Guard at the state headquarters in Austin, Texas, Ret. Lt. Col. Bill Burkett came to the office of Adjutant General Daniel James to ask a question.
The door was open about 8 inches and Burkett could hear the voice of Joe M. Allbaugh, then-Governor Bush's chief of staff, on the speakerphone. The General and Allbaugh were discussing sanitizing Bush's records in preparation for Karen Hughes' official biography in preparation for Bush's re-election campaign. Burkett heard Allbaugh tell General James, "We certainly don't want anything that is embarrassing in there."
Ten days later, Chief Warrant Officer George Conn, in whom he'd confided, walked Burkett over to a remote room in the museum on base where the head of the museum, General John Scribner, was sitting at a folding table with a 15-gallon trashcan next to him, going through papers. Looking down, Burkett saw 20-40 pages of performance documents in the can. At the top of the pages he could see was the "Bush, George W., 1LT."
Joe M. Allbaugh was appointed by Bush to be the Director of FEMA where he stayed until March 2003, when the war began. He is now Chairman and Director of New Bridge Strategies, LLC, a company created to assist businesses in getting the lucrative contracts in "rebuilding" Iraq.
Adjutant General Daniel James was nominated by Bush on September 20, 2001 to be Director of the Air National Guard, where he has been serving since June 2002.
To research/verify, Google "Bush +Guard +Trash."

Mail Time! #8
Yesterday, I got a small envelope from the El Paso Diablos, of the South Division of the American Association of Independent Professional Baseball. They have nothing to do with MLB.
They are the first independent league team that I have gotten anything from, which is really cool!
This is the package I pulled out of the mailbox.
The first thing I pulled out was a magnetic schedule
Then, I found 2 pocket schedules
The final item I received was a lanyard covered in their logo.
I apologize for another short entry. As soon as I get more envelopes, I will have entries up. On Saturday, I will have an entry up regarding one of my baseball-related collections. Keep posted for that!
If you are interested in any more of my mail-related entries that you have not read yet, you can find them here:
#1 (I got stuff from the Indians and White Sox)
#2 (I got items from the D-Backs and Rangers)
#3 (Items from the Astros, Reds, and Red Sox showed up)
#4 (A quick entry about the envelope I received from the Minnesota Timberwolves)
#5 (I got envelopes from the Portland Trailblazers and Baltimore Orioles)
#6 (A short envelope with the 76ers
#7 (Frederick Keyes and Buffalo Bills).
Thanks again!
