How does a seller know their real estate agent is doing a good job? The most effective evaluator is the receipt of an offer!
And when activity is brisk sellers want feedback - the stuff the buyer prospects are saying about their home after they walk out the door.
I advise sellers the likelihood of getting feedback is low (about 25% in my experience). The likelihood of getting useful feedback is even lower!
As a Brevard County, Florida real estate agent I give feedback although the details vary greatly.
First of all, if my buyer is interested the feedback is generic. If a property is definitely off my client's short list, the feedback may be more direct.
Some real estate agents I have spoken with think they are doing their clients a disservice by giving any feedback. I am not one who believes the buyer is being done a disservice by honest feedback - to a point if there is no interest in the property.
And if my buyer wants to tell a seller something I think may harm their potential offer I warn against doing so.
Sometimes the feedback can signal a pending offer. I have run into a few agents who start criticizing
everything from the color of the sky to the color of the grass. In my
experience these are signs they are preparing to make an offer - usually a low ball offer!
I am not going to intentionally give excessive negative feedback to improve a potential position in negotiating. If there are indeed major negatives they will be presented with the offer.
So what does a seller want to hear? A full price offer is coming.
What does a real estate agent want to hear? If it is not that an offer is coming then please give me an idea on what we can do to improve our chances of getting a buyer?
Ready to sell your Viera, Suntree or Rockledge, Florida home? Call me to discuss how I can work for you. If you prefer, send me an email!

Some video games really get your heart racing. Now, game makers are building interactive games that tap into a person's physiological reactions and incorporate them into the play.
Such games are not just meant to entertain, but to give players heightened awareness of their own physical health and to train them to improve mental, emotional or physical well-being.
In other words, keeping calm can really rack up the high scores.
With many of these games, players wear a headset, such as the Neurosky (above), which picks up signals from the brain. Such a device links with a game, which provides scenarios based on the wearer's brain activity.
For example, with the game Mindlight, developed by GainPlay Studio, a child wears a brainwave-sensing headset and then moves her character through a haunted world filled with scary images.
The game's character is also wearing a headset, except this one has a light meant to illuminate dark passageways. As the animated character walks through the various rooms of a haunted mansion, she solves puzzles and defeats creatures. By staying calm, the light shines brightly; but if the child becomes fearful or anxious, the light dims.
After time, the child learns to adjust their mood and calm their anxieties.
If you're the kind of player that likes to be scared, then you might be better off playing Nevermind, which gives players more horror, the more tense they get. This game relies on body sensors as well as Intel's RealSense camera to measure the player's emotional and biological state.
Diablo 3: So You Want To Be A Demon-Slayer: Photos
At the University of Rochester, researchers are collecting the data from study participants who interact with these types of games to find better ways of treating mental health.
Soon gaming may no longer be a way to escape from the challenges of home, school and work but a way to learn how to cope with them.
As Microsoft's motion-controlled Kinect gaming device hits stores, everyone from players to industry analysts are wondering whether the device is a "game changer" (obvious pun, sorry.) The image-sensing, controller-free device combines a camera, depth sensor and microphone to track a player's body and then accurately reflects that motion on the screen. It can also distinguish between different individuals and respond to voice commands. Of course, it's still way too early to know Kinect's impact on the video game industry. But history has shown us that not every new-fangled interface will succeed. So while we wait to see if Kinect will reign, let's look at some of gaming's biggest fails.
Mattel Intellivision's Mystery Keyboard
Unveiled by toy manufacturer Mattel in 1979, the Intellivision got cute by combining the words "intelligent" and "television," and then claimed to have better graphics than its main competitor, the Atari 2600. But it's what Intellivision didn't come with that made it infamous: a keyboard. That missing component, featured in commercials but not packaged with the system, promised to increase the Intellivision's computing capabilities, turning it from a game console into a home computer. But manufacture of the keyboard was delayed so often that even the Federal Trade Commission started fining Mattel. Eventually, 4,000 keyboards were produced, but by then the whole project was canceled and both the world and Mattel had moved on.
Atari Mindlink, 1984
Computers seemed limitless in the mid-80s: Matthew Broderick was using one to start World War 3; Anthony Michael Hall was building a girlfriend with his; and Jeff Bridges went inside one to race neon motorcycles. So of course we'd at least be able to link our brains with one to control video games, right? Enter the Atari Mindlink. The game controller supposedly worked by reading your brain's muscle movements with infrared sensors, which then transferred those movements to games. The games never worked, people complained of headaches, and the Mindlink was quickly scrapped. Amazingly, however, technology is being used today to help people with disabilities use thoughts to control computers. Electronics firm Emotiv, for example, is developing games and brain-computer interfaces that record electrical activity produced by neurons firing in the brain.
Milton Bradley Vectrex, 1982
Costly ($430 in today's dollars) and unwieldy (unlike other consoles, it came with its own monitor), the Vectrex set itself apart by featuring vector graphics like those found in the popular arcade game "Asteroid!" It actually might not be totally fair to call the Vectrex a flop -- in many ways it was ahead of its time, with a 3-D headset, an advanced Motorola processor, and even a light pen that let players "draw" on the Vectrex monitor. But its release in late 1982 coincided with the Video Game Crash of 1983 and the console quickly faded away. Even today, though, Vectrex homebrewers are out there and the system has a cult following.
Nintendo Power Glove, 1989
Mattel built it. Nintendo licensed it. But it was a young Fred Savage in the movie The Wizard that catapulted the Power Glove into infamy and Internet meme status. The Nintendo-produced movie tried to generate awe about the glove, which was supposed to recreate hand movements in real time. Sure, it looked kind of cool in a cyborg-ish way, but mostly it was a plastic mitten with a controller attached to the forearm that is widely regarded as one of the worst video game blunders of all time.
Apple-Bandai Pippin, 1995
For every iMac and iPhone, there's a Pippin. The multimedia platform was designed by Apple and produced by Japanese firm Bandai in 1995. It was supposed to compete against the likes of the Sega Saturn, the Nintendo 64 and the Sony Playstation. But with a launch cost of $599, and very little software to support it, all the Pippin did was make a bunch of "worst ever" and "biggest tech busts" lists. Including this one. Plus, Pippin (a type of apple, naturally) is just a terrible name for a video game console.
Nintendo Virtual Boy, 1995
The 3-D Virtual Boy console was basically a set of viewfinder-like goggles that sat precariously on a plastic stand. A player would crane his or her head inside and use the wired controller to play monochromatic 3-D games like Mario's Tennis. So basically it's like taking an eye exam. Only 22 games were released for the console, which is now considered a collector's item. Time heals all video game blunders.
Sega Activator, 1993
You could call it the great-great-grandfather of Kinect. Or you could call it an ugly, plastic octagon of awkward dancing. Instead of reading your real-time body movements and converting them on screen (like Kinect does), the Sega Activator expected players to stand inside the octagon and perform a series of coordinated steps within the device's eight quadrants, which corresponded to a button on a hand-held controller. Also, you had to avoid placing it under overhead lights, ceiling fans, mirrors or metallic ceilings. And couldn't look at it funny or call it names. If you have any doubt why it failed, check out this instructional video.
Philips CD-i, 1991
The tech graveyard is littered with the corpses of dead or failed file formats, from the Betamax to the mini-disc to the CD-i. The Compact Disk Interactive was the format of choice for the multimedia player released by Philips in 1991. Priced initially at $700 (you mean that''s it?!), the console was first intended for educational and self-help titles, then gradually housed several video games that are known as some of the worst ever made. In the so-bad-it's-awesome category are two CD-i Legend of Zelda titles that feature full animation cut scenes so jarringly bad that they're frequently posted online.
Atari's E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial video game, 1982
Manufactured by Atari to capitalize on the enormous success of Steven Spielberg's sci-fi movie about a loveable lost alien and the boy who found him, this game should have been an easy win. I mean, who wouldn't want to play the part of Elliot, saving ET from the bad guys, riding your bike up into the sky? Bring it on! But what happened is the cautionary tale for game companies looking to cash in on movie tie-ins: Stay faithful to the movie source and don't rush the product. Instead of a cool adventure, players got impossible-to-navigate game-play, terrible graphics, and an odd storyline. The company allegedly buried massive unsold and returned copies of the game in a New Mexico landfill.

..You know, it's interesting in the era of the internet when all of us can connect with each other remotely and FaceTime with somebody at the other end of the world. Nonetheless, there is enormous value in people being brought together physically. And this is why shared workspaces -Innovation Centres, incubators, accelerators, with all sorts of names - but they're all based on the proposition that we are very social animals and if we are connected, if we're spending time together, we will learn from each other and be inspired by each other and – as I was saying earlier, each other's ingenuity will rub off and we'll come up with something even better.
So what you're doing here is phenomenal and I want to congratulate you on that. We are, as you know, putting $23 million into our incubator support program right across Australia and I hope theSPACE is going to be one of the incubators making an application for some support - I'm sure you will. But the Innovation Centre Sandra, that you're putting together, which we're providing $10 million towards is going to achieve a very important element in our Innovation and Science Agenda, which is this; we have been, as Australians – Australia, we have not been very good at collaboration between primary research and industry and business. We've either- depending on the table, we're either last or second last in the OECD on this. So it's a big part of our Innovation and Science Agenda, which is part of our national economic plan to promote greater levels of collaboration. And what Sandra is doing at the Innovation Centre and working with theSPACE to ensure that you get that collaboration between the students, local entrepreneurs, business, industry. It's absolutely critical - I hope more universities do the same thing because that way we will see more Aussie jobs, more economic growth here in Australia, coming from the great research that your university does as the leader in so many disciplines relating to the tropics. There is no university that comes close to the expertise you have and what you'll be able to do is achieve so much more, I believe, with that Innovation Centre.
So we're glad to be putting $10 million behind it and of course we are also glad, as Warren said, to be providing $20 million as part of our whole regional development project to support community supported, community supported projects here in the Cairns area, which will deliver stronger growth in this region. And they can range from local infrastructure, from a business for example that needs the support to buy additional equipment that may enable it to take it to a next level. The parameters are very wide but the critical thing is that there is strong local support. The Chamber of Commerce, we were just talking to the chairman a moment ago. Your involvement, the Council engagement, JCU's involvement and of course the recommendations of local representatives like Warren are going to be very important. But we believe that both of these investments in Cairns are going to add to the strength of the local economy and to drive stronger growth and more jobs here in this region.
So I'm delighted to be here to make those announcements and I want to congratulate Warren and of course Jonathan who is the LNP candidate for Kennedy for their powerful advocacy on behalf of the communities they serve.
Just in saying thank you for being here, we really appreciate it. We all know, we all know that in the last few days the PM has been battling a bit of the flu. And I was very much aware of that and I knew he was coming up here to make these sensational announcements and we had to make sure that there was no confusion. We needed absolute clarity and for the strength of your voice Prime Minister and of course the clarity of your message, I have to claim some level of responsibility for.
I picked a lemon off my tree; I squeezed it into hot water and my beautiful wife Yolanda [inaudible] …the source there needed to be the rainforest, our beautiful world heritage rainforest trees and I put plenty of that honey into it. I presented that to the Prime Minister this morning and he looked at me and have a look at how effective it was.
I'm transformed.
Lemon and beauty and the beast.
Absolutely sensational, thank you very much indeed.
Thanks Warren and thank Yolanda and the beast too.

here do I even begin with this wedding?! I feel so connected to this wedding in particular for so many reasons! Here goes: 1) The day Tori and I met back in January, she booked me on the spot for her October wedding... 2) She was my very first booked wedding in Virginia after Joel and I moved here!... 3) We now share the same anniversary date!! I shot her wedding on my first anniversary to Joel! :) ... 4)Throughout the wedding process, we'd share ideas, trends, and just plain got to know each other along the way :) I love this girl! 5) She planned her wedding with the details in mind knowing they'd be photographed on her wedding day! I can totally relate because I did the exact same thing!! :) And I have to say...it was completely worth it :)
Tori and Dillon tied the knot at a B&B in Orange, The Inn at Westwood Farm, on the most perfect October day. It couldn't have been prettier. It was so much fun for me to watch Tori's dream wedding become a reality on this day! Talk about an excited, joyful, carefree bride! It was written all over her face! And not to mention, she was willing to do anything and everything in her gown for awesome photos :) My kind of gal! Before the ceremony, she planned time for her and her bridesmaids to drive down the road for a little photo shoot...they CLIMBED on top of the haybails!! No ladder, so stepstool....nothing. I was so impressed!!
Tori and Dillon, thank you so much for choosing me to be a part of your wedding day! I'll always think of you guys on October 2!
And I apologize upfront...this is a rather long post :) There was so much eye candy!! Her details mixed with the sweet venue...I just couldn't help myself! So sit back, relax, and enjoy!!
SOOO excited :) The black and white coming up is the image that comes to mind when I think of Tori! It's so her!


text: In the park, a crocodile lake has been made near the Time Portal site. The lake appears artificial with small islands and a foot suspension bridge across it, the simple sort where the footway follows the catenary. The Deinosuchus paddock is nearby and is almost identical. It could be the same location, although this is unlikely given that the Deinosuchus is aggressive and would most likely eat the resident Nile Crocodiles if left unattended. Although both have jeep roads running alongside, there are no visible barriers or fences around either lake, although the storyboard sequences shows Nigel jumping over a chain link fence, showing that both lakes have fences to contain the animals, but the fences were never shown.

Our semi-annual inspection of bottom paint panels always yields a few surprises, but during the nearly ten years I've been barnacle-counter-in-chief, I haven't been more surprised than I was last month.
The panels we inspected last month were painted and immersed in the summer of 2013. My inspection in January marked the eighteenth months of continuous immersion for approximately 60 paints that were undergoing testing. During a normal year, I would expect roughly 12-15 of those panels to still be fighting barnacles, but that's not what I found.
Every single panel was toast. The worst panels were unrecognizable, wit…

News Odds and Ends: Human Centipede 3, Godzilla, and More...
Good evening, or morning...look out the window, or at a clock. What time is it? Whatever it is, have a good one of those. There's no one big news thing going on in horror right now, but a few small ones that are making some ripples, so lets check them out.
- Director Tom Six confirmed today that 'Human Centipede 3' - no word on what sequence it will be, although wouldn't it just piss everyone off if it wasn't really "sequence" but "seqins", and the whole thing had to do with a Bedazzler run amok? -I digress. Six promises the bad guys from the first two films will be back, but playing different guys, so it's like 'American Horror Centipede'? Six also promised "a big American celebrity will be appearing in the film. Hmmm, German director, big American celebrity...can only mean one thing :
- Also today, it seems the remake of Godzilla is undergoing some changes. Just weeks away from filming, Frank Darabont is being brought in to retool the script. I love me some Frank Darabont, but bitch please, you need two things to make an awesome Godzilla film : 1. a man in a rubber suit destroying entire Japanese villages and 2. Keep Mathew Broderick away. I like Ferris Beuller as much as the next guy, but if I see him anywhere near anything even resembling a Godzilla film again, I swear to go I will drive over to his house and punch that horse faced wife of his in her chin so hard when she wakes up she'll look like....well Mathew Broderick.
- Finally, this is actually from yesterday, but it's my damn site, if you don't like it go make you own. It's not that difficult. Seriously, I'm borderline retarded and I built this mess. Back to the point, yesterday the producers of the 'Evil Dead' remake came out and said that there is absolutely no CG in the upcoming film. People seem to really dig that, I know I got half a chubby when I read it, so let's hope they aren't lying out their asses on this one because if it's true, that's pretty damn cool.
That's all I've got for now...until tomorrow - don't die.

While everyone else sits around watching American Idol and The Voice, I'm going to be glued to my TV watching Eurovision 2018. It's a Pan-European song competition where different countries compete to see who has the best song. It's pretty epic and it usually produces some incredible music too. I've been watching it for many years now. Here are the best of the 43 countries competing this year:
Mikolas Josef - Lie To Me - Czech Republic
I don't know much about this young lad but when I heard this, I felt like I was listening to a K-Pop song. Everything from the production, video, styling, and singing feels like a well produced K-Pop song. Even the Rap sections too. I could hear someone from SM Entertainment doing this exact same song. But that's not a bad thing. It's a great song.
DoReDos - My Lucky Day - Moldova
I really loved the rhythm section and brass. The melody is really good. It's very catchy. It has great energy. If Moldova is anything like this song, I need to take a vacation there.
EQUINOX - Bones - Bulgaria
Listening to this song, I got reminded of Miguel's Kaleidoscope Dreams. Especially the production but not so much the vocals. It's a fantastic track however.
Julia Samoylova - I Won't Break - Russia
I really wanted to dislike Russia's entry since they have been extra shady in the recent Olympics and of course their alleged involvement in our Presidential election, but this song is solid. The chord progression is really pretty and the melodies are amazing. Julia has so much makeup on in the video. Russia's obsession with beauty is so telling in this video.
Eye Cue - Lost And Found - F.Y.R. Macedonia
This song has like four different genres blended together. The only section that feels out of place is the faux-reggae riddim. However, the overall song execution is well done. It's fun and a little frantic. The song builds really well during the chorus which is really important for Eurovision songs.
ALEKSEEV - Forever - Belarus
This song is really melancholic and kind of sad too. I love the driving beat. The production is very well layered. Maybe a little too sad for the Eurovision show but still amazing.
Cesár Sampson - Nobody But You - Austria
How knew there were black people in Austria? This song has all the ingredients for a Eurovision song: A choir, soulful vocals, rich melodies, electric guitar and empowering lyrics. Did you hear that falsetto? This is definitely a contender.
Jessica Mauboy - We Got Love - Austrailia
I've known Jessica Mauboy for a while. I love her evolution into this mature woman. This song is the kind of Power Pop Anthem needed to win. Her vocals are amazing too. So far, Australia has been on a streak of great Eurovision songs.
SuRie - Storm - United Kingdom
I'm just going to say it. This woman looks like Annie Lennox. And she sounds like her too. This song sounds like it was written for Annie Lennox. That doesn't take away from this song being one of the best song entries from the UK. They have been hit or miss for many years. This is really great. It's contemporary and current but has that great pop chorus.
Benjamin Ingrosso - Dance You Off - Sweden
Benjamin is incredible. He's a great singer and this song fits him so well. Now, for Eurovision, I'm not sure if this is a strong contender. Just like last year's entry I Can't Go On from Robin Bengtsson, it might not get Sweden very far. Though this song was great too. It might be too current.
Eleni Foureira - Fuego - Cyprus
I was not ready for this. This song is so amazing. The Trop-Pop/Flamenco infused track is so good. The rhythm is very infectious. The build up to the drop is amazing and unexpected. The hook is so addictive. Not sure how well this song will do, but this is my favorite song from Eurovision 2018. And the video? Fuego! She looks amazing. Whatever Eleni is selling, I'll buy.

The Dallas Eagle was founded by Matt Miller and Mark Frazier. In 1995, Mark came up with the idea of opening a leather bar in Dallas because he felt there was a need in the DFW Leather Community. Dallas had a bar that many from the Leather community frequented, but that bar had decided to change to a more progressive atmosphere. The Leather Community was offered a small stand alone building located by the current club.
As Matt and Mark began to seriously consider opening a leather bar many individuals repeatedly expressed that a new bar would last less than a year because the Leather Community was "fickle" and "never supportive". However, with Mark's active role in the local, regional, National and International Leather Community, he knew he could promote the bar to the Leather Community and count on their support.
After a location was chosen, the remodel of the future Dallas Eagle began in February 1995. It took Matt and Mark about six weeks to remodel the bar to something they felt would appeal to the leather community. Shades of Grey, a leather store, anchored the bar with an on site shop on the second floor of the bar.
In April on 1995 the bar opened with their signature ad stating the "The Eagle Has Landed". The Dallas Eagle had the support of numerous clubs, organizations, and dignitaries from local, regional, national and international communities. The bar captured headlines with it opening throughout the US, Canada, England, Australia, New Zealand and Germany.
The Leather Knights became the first club to call the Eagle home. Others include TGRA, NLA Dallas, Lone Star Cigar Men, Dallas Big Men's Club, DFW leatherboys, Eagle Bears, Discipline Corps and the Dallas boys of Leathers. The Dallas Bears, as well as numerous bowling, softball and other sporting teams, soon followed.
The Dallas Eagle developed respected reputation in contest circuits. For ten consecutive years the Dallas Eagle sponsored contestants ranked in the top twenty at International Mr. Leather including two winners of IML, Stephen Webber and Jeffrey Payne. The Eagle's reputation in the Drummer and Leather Sir/boy contests were equally respected and had nine top three finishers over a twelve year period.
The Dallas Eagle hosted numerous events under the ownership of Matt and Mark, including South Plains Leather Fest, International Master/slave Weekend, The International Leather Sir/boy/Community Boot Black Contests, Texas Gay Rodeo Association, United Court of the Lone Star Investiture, Ms World Leather, International Ms Leather, Texas Bear Round Up and many more.
In December 2007, Matt and Mark decided it was time to pursue other goals and sell their first joint business. Mark wanted to leave the bar business and Matt wanted to concentrate on their other nightclub, Dallas Woody's Sports and Video Bar. Matt and Mark sold the Dallas Eagle. Mark sold his share of the Dallas Woody's to Matt and relocated from Dallas. David and Nick became new owners of the bar and began a new adventure with the Dallas Eagle.
Mark returned to the Dallas Eagle in July 2010, in partnership with David. In January, 2011, David relinquished his share of the Dallas Eagle and Mark joined forces with David Roy, Jeffrey Payne and Patrick Sweeny. In 2014, Patrick relinquished his shares of the Dallas Eagle and Randal Kinnear joined the team of partners. Randal relinquished his shares later in 2014. Mark, David and Jeffrey have created a diverse and active ownership of the Dallas Eagle as the Eagle continues to grow and evolve, while still staying true to its original mission.
The Dallas Eagle is now located across the parking lot from the original site. The Eagle boasts a larger venue and a huge outdoor patio area. The Eagle continues to be the premier Leather bar in Greater Dallas/Ft. Worth and participate with other organizations in supporting the community through service and fund raising. Likewise, the Eagle continues to be the home of the founding club, Leather Knights along with NLA:Dallas, Discipline Corps, Lone Star Cigar Men, Eagle Bears, United Court of the Lone Star Empire, Dallas Bears, Texas Gay Rodeo Association along with newer groups like DFW Leather Corps and Dallas Diablos. The bar is anchored with the leather shop "Eagle OutPost", owned by David Roy & Jeffrey Payne.
The Dallas Eagle legacy continues…
The Dallas Eagle is located at 5740 Maple Avenue, in Dallas, Texas. (214) 357-4375.

01.30.2019 | Mario Gooden will present Radical Alterities: Performance and Architecture at the Sam Fox School of Architecture at Washington University, St. Louis at 12:00 PM.

01.19.2019 | Clinton Church Restoration has announced the hiring of Huff + Gooden Architects as the project architect for the restoration and adaptive reuse of the historic Clinton A.M.E. Zion Church in Great Barrington, Massachusetts. Dedicated in 1887, the Clinton A.M.E. Zion Church served as the spiritual, cultural and political home for the local African American community for nearly 130 years. It was also a place of significance for author and civil rights leader W.E.B. Du Bois, who was born and raised in Great Barrington. Du Bois scholars have called the church "a crucible that nurtured the spirit and honed the skills of 'Willie' Du Bois" and "a place of continual and important social reference for him." The building will be transformed into an African American Cultural Center. Joining Huff + Gooden on the design team is historic preservation architect John A. James, architect and historian Mabel O. Wilson of Studio &, and landscape architect Walter J. Hood of Hood Design Studio.

Ants are a frustrating garden pest because they come in great numbers, especially during warm weather and rainy months. You can use non-chemical methods to kill ants at their source (their anthill) and around your garden. Natural methods are effective but do not work as quickly as chemical insect control methods work. Be prepared to apply natural methods of ant control daily, until your ant problem is gone.
Natural Insect Spray for Your Garden
Make a neem soap spray to use as a natural non-toxic insecticide in your garden. Neem is safe to use around humans and other mammals but is toxic to insects. It interferes with an insect's neurological system, causing eventual death. The soap in the mixture coats the leaves of your plants to keep insects away without harming your plants. To make a neem soap spray, mix 1 tablespoon of neem oil, 1 tablesspoon of coconut-based liquid soap and 10 ounces of water in a 12- ounce spray bottle. Shake the spray bottle well to mix the ingredients. To make a larger batch of the neem oil spray, double the measurements. Neem oil is available for sale at health food stores. According to the University of New Mexico College of Agriculture and Home Economics, coconut oil is the most effective soap for soap-based insecticide control.
Spray the neem soap spray directly on all of the leaves of your garden plants to kill aphids, ants and other insects. Ants feed off aphid waste, so killing the aphids alone helps to get rid of the ants.
Wipe away any ants or aphids that you notice on the leaves as you spray.
Spray the neem soap spray around the bases of your garden plants and on the pots of potted plants to repel and deter ants.
Spray your garden plants daily until your ant problem is under control.
Killing Ants at the Source
Mix together 1 tablespoon of borax with 1 tablespoon of honey in a small bowl. Adjust the amount of honey or borax used, if necessary, to make a thick paste. Purchase borax at your local grocery store in the laundry detergent section. It is often sold as "washing soda."
Insert the tip of a rubber bulb syringe into the honey and borax mixture. Squeeze the bulb of the syringe to suction the borax and honey mixture into the syringe.
Follow the trail of ants to locate their anthill. Once you have located the anthill, insert the tip of the rubber bulb syringe into the entrance of the anthill. Squeeze the bulb of the syringe to release the borax and honey mixture into the anthill. The ants will be attracted to the honey in the mixture and readily go to it. They will eat some of the mixture and bring the rest back to their queen. The borax in the mixture will kill the ants.

True freshman punter Tim Zaleski completely missed a punt during Wyoming's 24-3 loss to Iowa. Iowa scored a touchdown with 22 seconds remaining, giving it a 14-3 halftime lead.
Noah Fant caught two of the scoring strikes for the Hawkeyes (1-0) while the Iowa defense held the Cowboys to 59 yards rushing and picked off Wyoming quarterback Josh Allen, who is high on most National Football League draft boards next year, twice.
"There were some good things that we did out there, but right now it doesn't feel too good", Bohl said.
Wyoming's defense forced four turnovers. That game was also Wyoming's last game with fewer than 300 total yards of offense. It was his first game without a touchdown, either passing or rushing, since Wyoming's loss at Eastern Michigan previous year.More news: Windows 10 Insider Preview 16278 Available to Download and Install

Allen, a junior quarterback who has National Football League scouts drooling (12 scouts from seven different teams were at Saturday's game), was quite pedestrian. Certainly there was a period of time at the end of the first half that changed the game. He had a career-high 10 tackles for UW and added a sack along with a forced fumble.
"This wasn't the outcome we wanted, but we'll grow from it and we'll be better", Allen said.
After the Cowboys' field goal early in the second quarter, the Hawkeyes held them scoreless the rest of the game. Iowa had been driving near midfield when Carl Granderson forced a fumble that Sidney Malauulu recovered. "They played the quick game really well".
3rd quarter, Stanley went deep to Nick Easley who dragged Rico Gafford and then dived in for the 45-yard touchdown. Wyoming took over with 50 seconds left in the half, but its drive was killed by a blatant intentional grounding on Allen's part.

We will actually be in PNG around the 2010 Mask Festival. Our dive boat disembarks at Walindi, but we can go to Rabaul after that on July 9th. Can you please recommend a hotel/travel agent? Thanks!

Please send your request to

Many thanks! I have been emailing several hotels (Kapopo, Rapopo, Walindi) since December 2009, but I still have not heard from any of them. I am now tempted to call them. Living in the US, it will cost me $1/minute to call PNG. You are actually the first one to respond to me, so thank you for the info. I will email PNG Explorers for my inquiry.

Much appreciation your good work in promoting this annual event! However, your very last paragraph, perhaps informed by your Eurocentric upbringing leaves alot to be desired. As you quoted:
"What makes me more interested is that East New Britain , with early contact with European settlers, is one of the most civilized provinces in the country, yet those highly educated people still believe in the secret society and keep the tradition".
This tumbuan that you seek to promote to you endearingly wrote about is the "tradition" of the people of that place. What you implied in the above statement is that "civilisation" brought in by the Whiteman should erase these superstitious belief systems, or something to that effect. I seem to be reading you in that light! Please watch the tumbuan for what it is and leave the interpretation of its cultural relevance to the people who know best.
- 9 March 2010 at 10:41
Thanks for your comment.
I simply admire that Tolai people still carry on the tradition. Many places in the world have forgotton the meaning of their culture and only the surface remains.
Its truly unique and I hope they should maintain the great tradition.

Keep Portland Weird
I grew up in Portland but have not actually lived there for decades. I do still live a few miles from Portland and I'm proud of it. Can "Keep Portland Weird" be a winning strategy? Apparently so! [icopyright one button toolbar]
From across the country, Portland looms as this place where everything comes in quirkier, locally produced, more artisanal versions of what the rest of us have. And then when you come out here, it turns out that all of these things are actually true. The Portland of public imagination is, in fact, Portland in reality.
So is this good news for Portland? The answer is yes!
These attributes are helping Portland win a fierce competition among cities for young college grads — Americans in their 20s and early 30s – who have been flooding the downtown-ish neighborhoods of decently big metros like Portland over the past decade.
By 2012, metro Portland had 34,545 more 25-to-34 year-olds with bachelor's degrees than it did in 2000, according to American Community Survey data that Cortright just analyzed for the research site City Observatory. That's an increase, of about 37 percent, that's outpaced similar gains in New York (25 percent), Los Angeles (30 percent) and even — barely — metropolitan Washington, D.C. (36 percent).
Portland is succeeding in large part because the long-term direction of the city happens to align with what these young people prize today. The college grads decamping for Portland probably don't say "I'd like to live somewhere with an urban growth boundary!" But that policy is partly responsible for producing the things about Portland that now draw them here: the compact living, the easy access to nature, the possibility that a farm might actually be near your table, the emphasis on communal assets — parks, public transit, tool shares (people kept telling me about the tool shares) — over individual ownership.
Of course there is a downside, the middle class neighborhood I grew up in is now an upper class neighborhood. The new demographics and priorities have made "gentrification" inevitable.

"Live. Die. Repeat."
The film's tagline is straight to the point yet ominous enough. All you really need to know is mankind is fighting a global war against aliens trying to exterminate us. Something happens to Tom Cruise's coward character Cage and he turns into a soldier version of Bill Murray in Groundhog Day. Oh, and Emily Blunt is in it as the love child of Lara Croft and Sarah Connor, kicking major ass (including Cruise's). Buckle up and get ready for one helluva ride. Did I mention Emily Blunt's muscles?
Tom Cruise does a good job playing coward turns involuntary hero Cage. I was pleasantly surprised how far he went making his character not just unlikeable but borderline despicable. A selfish coward who, by chance, is bestowed a great opportunity to end the war. If he can stomach being killed, I mean trained, by Emily Blunt. Live. Die. Repeatedly. That is the heart of the film and makes the entire roller coaster so much fun to watch. Blunt plays a famous war hero, the only hero in this war the humans are losing. Her and Cruise play polar opposites which is what makes the action and especially the comedic elements work so well. Have I mentioned Blunt's amazingly toned body?
After the audience gets the gist of the rinse-repeat idea the action picks up pace and does not stop. Here the editing is the storyteller's main tool, with quick cuts from one day to the next within the same scene showcasing the tongue in cheek humour and well implemented Groundhog Day idea. Mostly it is not what you see but what happens offscreen that has the best effect. A memorable example has Cage ducking out from the marines by rolling under a passing jeep. On his first attempt all you see is the jeep driving towards camera and hear it running him over. CUT. Same scene, different attempt, and this time he times it right. Scenes like this as well as Blunt's character readily shooting him to reset when needed are just some of the fun elements that make up this film.
The action is fast paced. The special effects and sound design are top notch. And the actors bring enough believability to their characters given the setting. The choreography of the action sequences will have your head spinning and the continuity of the repeat scenes is flawless, at least on a first watch. As this film more than warrants repeat viewings continuity errors might become apparent.
Technical aspects are solid. The story is your usual scifi stuff set in war times with a Groundhog Day twist. You get both a male and female action hero, which in my opinion is more than commendable in any film let alone a Tom Cruise starring vehicle. But the real hero here is the editing. Without it this film would not be half as much fun. So get your popcorn ready and enjoy the ride. One of the most entertaining films this year. Go see!

Seattle's First Timba Band?! That's right! Pedrito has given us what we wanted! Thank you Pedro.
Well, like the reputation of timba music... this new group of artists, the crowd, and the vibe was electric, hot, and a lot of FUN! at Nectar on 4/3/08! Sabroso!
Here are a few small clips from my little camera, therefore sorry about the quality....it's just a taste.
Was it a success??......Well, I think this image tells me better than anything = There was a moment in the night when John started leading some moves and I joined the salsa suelta. After a few moments I looked behind me, and there were 3 ROWS deep of synchronized "line dancing"!!! That might be the first time I've seen that in Seattle, for a live band! Nice dancing everyone...look'in good! Goosebumps.
Here is the clip and a few others from the evening.

Securus Technologies is a Texas-based inmate communications company. It has been in operation since 1997, and during this time, they have managed to completely transform the manner in which communication in the correctional facilities is handled. When the company started out, they were only offering telephone services to connect the inmates to their loved ones at home, but with time, they have expanded their reach, and they are now offering comprehensive security solutions to both the correctional facilities and private companies.
The customers who have used the services offered by Securus Technologies have had a lot of positive things to say about their services. There is one customer who states that they were having a hard time dealing with one of their employees because he seemed to be keeping some secrets. They contacted Securus for video monitoring assistance. After a week of monitoring the individual, they had gathered the evidence they needed to take him to court for bringing in contraband through their business premises.
Another one of their customers states that their main problem was a case of a gang of criminals working from inside the correctional system to organize crimes, smuggle in drugs and weapons. When they contacted Securus, they got video monitoring systems. These methods enabled them to catch those who were involved in the criminal activities, and once the gang knew that the administration was on to them, they stopped their illegal activities.
These are just a few of the cases where Securus has come in and helped customers to solve their security and crime-related problems. The CEO of the company, Rick Smith, believes that they have made commendable progress in the right direction. He also believes that they are going to get even better with time and that the strategies they have put in place will help them deliver superior quality service to their customers all the time.

113 Peach Passion is, as the name suggests, a rather stunning peach colour with a strong hint of pink. It's incredibly opaque and one layer is more than enough. I know we're already in August, but this colour is absolutely perfect the last few weeks of the Summer; it's so easy to apply and is just too beautiful for words, I can't keep my hands from picking this up! I do recommend exfoliating and moisturising your lips before using as it's butter-like texture does sink into fine lines but the colour payoff and creamy finish is well worth that extra five minutes.
It's a beautiful shade but I do find I can only really pull this off when I'm a little bit tanned, I would recommend that those with fair skin tones to give this a go before buying it as this doesn't work for every skintone. But there a plenty of other pinky shades in the Rouge Volupté collection so there will be a few bound to suit your complexion if Peach Passion doesn't!

Midwest 3-gun and pistol competitor, 2011 Wisconsin-state ESP IDPA Champion, and, most importantly, all-around stand-up guy, Jason Carillo not only took a few nice photos in front of the banner, but put this AWESOME reel together from the 2012 SHOT Show. Bonus: Taran Butler doing his best Schwarzenegger impression.
We're hoping to hook JC with more than a t-shirt, and get him shooting with Team WIILSHOOT!!
Bullseye Firearms and Gunsmithing owner and also stand-up guy, Mario Matelli, took a few photos before they were able to find space for the HUGE banner...
Mario handles a lot of Team WIILSHOOT's FFL transfers, gets us special parts when necessary and handles mild-to-wild 'smithing needs. If you haven't seen his "Fitz Special" Colt Conversion, do yourself a favor and check it out!
