I went to Wayne State University to study small business tactics. I've seen several marketing studies proving that about 65% of the population could care less what the person looks like when it comes to picking who to work with. 30% actually choose not to do business with a person based upon the fact that they prejudged them because the picture reminded them of someone whom they don't like. The remaining 5% chose based upon something they saw in the picture that they liked. So the conclusion is that your picture is making a negative or nuetral impact at best.
The most influential item on your business card and other advertising is a statement that tells folks why they should do business with you and only you. We call it your unique selling propostition. Write your USP in a way that builds confidence and trust. People do business with people they like and trust. Your USP can even be in the form of a guarantee. What are you willing to assert that you will do that no other agent in your market is willing to do?
If I were you, I wouldn't fret about putting a "great" looking picture on your cards etc. The worse thing you can do is put a picture on your card that is staged and really doesn't look like you. People will think you are vain, and guess what? They are right!
I know this observation of mine is against industry practice, so I expect to get flamed by many irrate agents. Tough. The real estate industry seems to be the only one pre-occupied with looks. Makes you wonder how the other 16 million professional sales people in other industries ever manage to make any money without having a picture on their business card. I think most buyers chose substance over form. Give it a go and see if this isn't true.
My opinion: In 1994, it was kind of novel. so it helped you to stand out. - Plain cards cost $12 per thousand then and photo cards were about $50.
Today the card prices are cheap, so I carry several different cards, one with a picture, one that says commercial, one that says residential, one that says loans, and one that has name and company only, no phone#, to leave at showings (to make it harder for agents and their assistants to call me for "feedback")
Find your own "thing" whether it be an identifiable logo, a great smile or stern face or perhaps have such a memorable name. Run with it. Don't be afraid to be a little different and find your niche memorable item (no more agent team shots posed in front of their scripty team name – it's already been done). ;-)
Heather & Steve Ostrom
Deborah, I've heard the accountant example as well, and I see what you say about how the relationship with an agent is more personal. But to cite another example, I've never seen my doctor's or gynecologist's face on their marketing materials, and I don't think it can get more personal than that.
I don't know, I may be wrong -- I actually enjoy seeing your pictures next to your comments because it does give me a sense of talking to an actual person -- but I still struggle with whether or not I should cave and start using photos as part of my marketing.
Thanks for the 'food for thought'!
P.S. Erin - is that really your dog? Beautiful dog -- looks like he's taking YOU for a walk! ;o)
I doubt people would honestly answer that they didn't use someone based on a photo, but I get all kinds of comments on my photo from internet buyers.
I came back to post a previous thread, and Jim beat me to it! then I realized Jim and I had selected two DIFFERENT threads... The thread referenced below had a bit more variety than this one, but I'll have to go check out the one Jim posted too...
How many of us have every talked with someone on the phone or via email and eventually met them only to find they look completely different than what we expected? If we don't know what someone looks like, we start to formulate an image in our mind.
The connectivity in a real estate transaction is highly personal, which is a factor that makes placing a photo on a biz card acceptable in this industry, while it could be unprofessional in another.
I have heard criticisms on that note.......i.e. Accoutants don't place photos on their cards. I think what we do is highly personal, touching their homes, playing a part in shaping their lives as they choose a next home and this all makes us different than the accountant.
I like Joshua's comment about a face being like a logo.
Agents do not have protected territories like sales reps who work for a company. Agents must be able to distinguish themselves from the other agents in their office. Since the Broker logo is the same, the individual photo is a visual imprint to help a consumer remember a particular agent.
I find it strange though how many agents ignore this an put their picture up front, streaming junk from the top of the page, and awful music.
Hovever, have a picture on your material allows the viewer to pass some sort of judgment before meeting you!

U Chit Po is 49 years old and runs a grocery store in Myanmar. He is responsible for his wife and two children. He recently had a major health scare and consequently would like to retire soon. U Chit Po has no medical coverage, as there is no licence for the health insurance market in Myanmar. His income consists of profit from his small business and interest on loans to others, which he lends at 20% interest per day. He has never saved in a formal banking institution, but his knowledge about the value and complexities of saving are highly sophisticated. He feels that banks have so much red tape, especially for provisions which he might need to access at short notice, and the interest offered by banks on savings is so little that it is not worth the hassle.
Southeast Asia, with more than half-a-billion people, is among the fastest growing regions in the world. However, levels of growth and prosperity within the region are very uneven.
After decades of economic isolation, Myanmar has boldly re-entered the global market with a wide range of policy reforms intended to court foreign trade and investment. Reforms range from improvements in infrastructure, to food security and agricultural growth, to monetary and financial sector transformations. Rich in natural resources and a young labour force, the country of over 60 million people once called the "rice bowl'' of Asia stands to gain much from opening its economy to the world.
Will this be Asia's century? When it comes to growth and social progress, there have been heady leaps forward, with every prospect of continued dynamism over the next five years. But according to the Southeast Asian Economic Outlook 2013, if there is a blot on the map, it is in tackling poverty and the wide development gaps that bedevil the continent.
Will China's growth slowdown last and what does it mean for the rest of us?
Asia's Challenges
The forces driving Asia's rapid growth–new technology, globalisation, and market-oriented reform–are also fuelling rising inequality. Some income divergence is inevitable in times of fast economic development, but that shouldn't make for complacency, especially in the face of rising inequality in people's opportunities to develop their human capital and income-earning capacity.
The rise of IT and the Internet have been boons to Asia, but not everyone has benefited. There are challenges to overcome, not least in the area of governance.

Fla. police officer shot, suspects at large
Jason Hajek, 25, was pulling a vehicle over for reckless driving when two men exited the vehicle and fired, then fled
By Jerriann Sullivan
Orlando Sentinel
ORLANDO, Fla. — An Orlando Police Department Officer was shot early Tuesday morning, Sgt Jim Young said.
Police are still searching for two suspects they say shot at the officer around 2:30 a.m. this morning near Bruton Blvd and Roseboro St.
Jason Hajek, 25, was attempting to pull the vehicle over for reckless driving, but when the vehicle stopped two men jumped from the vehicle, fired shots at Hajek then fled the scene, Young said.
Hajek, who has been with OPD for about a year and a half, was hit at least once right below his protective vest and may have been hit in a second time in his leg, police said.
He was taken to the Orlando Regional Medical Center and is expected to survive, police said.
Police have shut down several roads in the area while they search for the two suspects.

Hias Inc
Rating: 4.88 stars 32 32 reviews
333 Seventh Avenue 16th Floor New York NY 10001 USA
As the central migration agency of the international Jewish community, HIAS is guided by Jewish values and our shared history of migrations to: (1)assist Jewish and other refugees and migrants escaping violence, repression and poverty find safety and security in the United States, Israel and elsewhere; (2) facilitate their resettlement and other forms of assistance through a network of local service agencies; (3) advocate on their behalf at the international, national and community levels; and(4)connect each generation of Jews, one to the other.
The HIAS Location Service was established early in the twentieth century to help emigres re-establish contact with family and friends with whom they had lost touch during the years of massive Jewish migration. The HIAS Location Service faced its greatest challenge after World War II, when it helped thousands of displaced persons contact their U.S. relatives.
Today, HIAS continues to receive many requests from people around the world who are trying to locate their relatives and friends. Additional inquiries come from those who are engaged in genealogical research and wish to learn about the origins and experiences of their ancestors who immigrated to this country early in the last century.

A major part of our responsibilities based upon the values of our religion is care for each other. HIAS expertly fulfills this responsibility for us by aiding in the rescue of those who are oppressed and suffer discrimination where they live throughout the world. HIAS has provided these services expertly for well over 100 years. Today they process those fleeing Iran and seeking refuge in Austria. They work today in South America, Russia, Ukraine, Africa. Fortunately, there are relatively few Jews in the world today seeking refuge or escape. Nevertheless, HIAS is strong and ready to help those in need regardless of race or religion.

Post Content
---snipped other postquotes---
I have had to change my mind often on re-reading data off this site, having thought I had just made it up!!
Recall; Every ACTION
has an equal and opposite
- let me put the record straight? You misunderstood me above, I meant
was (wrongly) being viewed as a potential, biological weapon, where the likes of Ventnor took out 5,000 patents thinking they could (
) control its adverse, bacterial activity with appropriate chemical antidotes?
I agree with you this will not work
IF, and its a Big IF
- we succeed in resetting our
DNA and eliminate the JUNK!
Sorry Pre/Per ... yes I understood you wrongly ... apologies.
Yes you are correct that The Elites saw AUgie as such.
And yes, I think that Venter was chosen to research ways of attacking and tackling AUgie.
Dear Pre/Per, thats the beauty of it : We DONT have to be FULLY ACTIVATED !! Our full DNA doesnt have to be resetted ... it also works like we are now !!!
I tell you, right now we could not live here and be here if our DNA was fully activated !
As did Tiamath Amaru with me, and as AUgie is capable of : they can feel your INTENTION [even with junk/sleeping DNA parts], they feel if it is pure or pure enough ...
Just like only 'the Pure Of Intent' could open the 'Arc of the Covenant' ....
And in my opinion,
there is no JUNK
, its only inactive, waiting for the right TIME and TONE.
We don't have to succeed in anything,
we only have to realise THAT
and that every time is the right time (
quantum-time aspect
If your intentions are aligned with Harmony and Universal Balance [in freedom] then its all needed to be.
As I watched this video,
it connected me back to the lecture of Nassim Harramein in Holland that I attended, and afterwards our private conversation with him in a separate room. That day in lecture he talked about and showed us the apparatus he had made that produced free energy.
A few days/week after this encounter I had my dream about Nassim telling me to go to the Mid-America/Mexico area and "do something that had to do with fresh and salt water" ... He couldn't give me the names of the lakes or waters that he was sending me to.
In the next part of that dream I was THERE on the water/sea-surface listening with my ear to the water, then chanting in an old and long-forgotten language,
then Tiamath Amaru appeared and she showed me things.
I discovered GLP [dont remember how or by who] and joined a thread about 'orbs around the sun' for months ... then suddenly there was 'Bezerk' ... and I realised that this dream was in all ways connected with the Bezerk-thread !!!
The more I investigated it the more it made sense and fitted the whole shabang.
Today I watched that vid on this link
link to www.thesolutionssummit.info
Its about Nassims work ...
Seeing exact being mentioned that this free energy is a THREAT to Exxon, BP, Shell and the BANKING-SYSTEMS ..., made it again crystal clear how 'the lecture', 'my dream' and 'the Bezerk-thread' are interconnected !
Today I remembered and saw and understood.
Once again I felt and connected the realness of this all.
Nassim doesnt talk about Tiamath Amaru, but he [and others] talk about
"the torus-energy ball"
as depicted, actively working in & around Earth, and ufo's ... I say that THAT is the same
that was around The Original [elders] Tribe, those with
The Golden Aura
... Those who knew about
Tiamath and about AUgie
EMP = explosive origin
rEMP = implosive procedure, created photonically, resulting in an energy vortex.
An rEMP device cannot be controlled, especially within an atmosphere of a planet, and depending on frequency lock, will result in ALL magnetically and mechanically generated electricity being totally absorbed.
"Planes wont fly right" isnt the half of it.
Given the earth's atmospheric tampering, and modification, creating a photonically generated rEMP will render all technology impotent.
REVOLUTION anyone? Who says there arent people trying to help the masses?
Very Astute reasoning Precept'. Very.
kurivinda 27439883
Tnx for bringing that up again
Only thing I have other thoughts upon is :
the assumed uncontrollable aspect of it ...
I would like to think that there ARE aliens and lifeforms more advanced, in tech and the knowing and understanding of how THINGS WORK in the Universe, then we are.
Nothing [!!!] in the Universe is UNCONTROLLABLE,
for the Universe might look like CHAOS but in deeper reality it is an overall harmonic system ...
consisting of things that look like ritmic fractals and like patterns that at first glean are not ritmic but deeper study will always reveal their cycle, and thus belonging to a logarithm.
There is NO harmonics that cant be worked with,
but it is the trick to figure out and understand how it works.
isnt the right expression, cuz in many cases it is not the 'control OVER' that makes it work, but the synergy and symbiosis of 2 systems do make things work.
This would not be DOMINANCE, but
[based on Intent]
To me rEMP looks better then bombs and things that really kill PEOPLE and materials. As far as possibly demonstrated, rEMP did not kill people.
That doesnt means it could not do so, but as with almost every invention : It is
consciousness and Intent
which is determinent of the outcome and the chosen usage.
This is far sighted, spot on, far reaching and right on the ball.
First off ~ if viewers go to the Main GLP Forum and click down on:

... they can see what lies ahead.
over DWH and The major
Gulf Oil Fields Laboratory
is passing from Obama to Russia (and think
ODESSA briefcases
you pointedly mentioned?)
A few observations now need to be elaborated.
It is entirely agreed
there is No JUNK DNA!
It is called JUNK by microbiologist scientists because they do not yet understand the underlying harmonics and e/m fields lurking behind the dynamic, helical structure of our DNA!
Otherwise it would be dead.
It is all very well you saying we do not need to reset our DNA, Krispy, you are evidently speaking for yourself!
Think empathetically. Most people are simply not using 90% odd to access dreams, higher dimensions and ancient records like you are!
For them, this is their future! They are being bombarded with useless information leading to the very FEAR intended, to prevent such incoming signals.
There is NO harmonics that can't be worked with,
but it is the trick to figure out and understand how it works.
Got It KRISPY!
Here are the KEY words which will unlock the
starting with
GOLD AURA, TORUS Energy Balls ~ VORTICES, PATTERNS, CYCLES, IMPLOSIONS, LOGARITHMS (preferably, to BASE 12).
Back to the Video and click on:
TORUS Dynamo's are FUN
, to view a working model.
Even the maths is not too difficult once you know the radii involved, allowing for The GOLDEN MEAN in the /volume and Surface Area measurements. Even
The Fine Structure Constant (~1/137
) drops out with corresponding
I know of experiments in the Energy described where there is no heat, yet a jet directed at your arm burns off the hairs but without burning the skin! I believe the patents have been suppressed. (Will see if I can find the references to this).
The point really is that once this scientific method is properly understood and fully utilised, thanks to our intention and consciousnes we can resist all attempts to dominate and control us! Here lies our future.
Thanks too to BHD and all the rest.

Everybody knows you need a great amp to sound your best when you're jamming on your instrument, and that's why you chose a Fender amp. But, did you also know you should be keeping your amp covered when it's not in use? By keeping your amp safely covered, you'll be preventing dust and other outside influences from getting into the amp and affecting your sound. Fender knows this, which is why they produce a line of amplifier cases & covers to keep your Fender amp ready to shine.
You know the name Fender. It's arguably the most popular brand in the history of music. By basically developing the blueprint for the modern electric guitar, Fender has shaped (and continues to shape) popular music in countless ways. With their amplifier cases & covers, Fender is offering you a great way to keep your gear in playing shape at all times.
Determining the Fender case or cover that is right for you is actually a pretty simple process. It basically comes down to which Fender amplifier you own. For example, if you own a Blues Junior amp, you'll want to grab the Blues Junior Amp Cover. Are you plugging into a '65 Reissue Twin? Pick up the '65 Reissue Twin Combo Amp Cover. Maybe you've got a Hot Rod Deluxe, a Champion, a Custom Vibrolux Reverb, or a 63 Vibroverb amplifier? Don't worry, Fender has those amps covered as well (literally!).
If you've got a stack set up, Fender has head covers such as the Roc Pro 1000 Amp Head Cover, so you can rest easy knowing all your gear is safe. Fender builds the finest amps in the world, so it makes sense that they would also build the finest covers to protect them as well. If you're playing a Fender amp, you owe it to yourself to pick up a Fender amplifier case or cover.

This invention relates to lighting fixtures and more particularly to an improved fixture utilizing ring-shaped fluorescent lamps.
Among the principal objects of the present invention is the provision of a fixture in which is employed a unitary construction of a lamp holder having formed therein a pair of sockets for operatively receiving the conventional prongs of a pair of circular lamps for electrical connection thereof to auxiliary control apparatus and to a power source.
Another object is to provide in a fixture a twin-socketed lamp holder for a pair of ringshaped fluorescent lamps, to thereby obviate the necessity for employing separate sockets or socket adapters for the individual lamps.
A further object is to provide in a fixture improved unitary clamping means which are operative in conjunction with the dual socketed holder aforesaid to resiliently secure in position a pair of circular fluorescent lamps and which permit free and independent movement of the lamps relatively to their common supporting fixture.
A still further object of the invention lies in the provision of an improved fluorescent lighting fixture wherein the lamps may be easily and quickly assembled or dismantled for replacement, maintenance or servicing as may be required.
The foregoing objectives, and such other objects and advantages as may hereinafter appear or be pointed out, are attained in the manner illustrated in the appended drawings, wherein:

Figure 13 is a schematic wiring diagram of the dual-socketed lamp holder and the auxiliary control apparatus associated therewith for operation of the fluorescent lamp mounted upon the fixture.
The fixture constructed in accordance with the invention is shown in the drawings as comprising an escutcheon plate II], a pair of axially spaced circular fluorescent lamps 20, a dualsocketed lamp holder 30, and a pair of auxiliary lamp-holding clamps 10 in association with control apparatus, including thermal switches l5 and ballast coils 16, such as are conventionally employed in fluorescent lighting units.
The escutcheon plate I0, which comprises a dish-shaped base of any suitable ornamental configuration which may be suitably supported from a ceiling or other wall, is provided with an opening I2 for passage of a threaded supporting nipple (not shown). The base or support I0 may be formed of metal, plastic or other suitable material and may be enameled, painted or otherwise finished on its exterior to harmonize with the decor of the space to be illuminated. The base is preferably formed with a fiat annular portion II, to which are attached most of the other fixture parts, such as the conventional ballast coils l6 and thermal switches 15.
The fluorescent lamps 20 are also conventional, each consisting of a coated tube bent into circular shape with the ends thereof spaced apart to receive therebetween a suitable connector plug 2|. Two pairs of prongs 22--22 (of which one pair of one lamp are shown in Figure 5) project from each lamp plug, each pair of said prongs 22-22 being connected to the opposite terminals of a cathode forming part of the electrode located at each end of the lamp. The plugs are of insulating material and are conventionally formed of two parts held together by a threaded bolt 24.
The dual-socketed lamp holder 30, as constructed in accordance with the present invention, provides a pair of retaining seats and electrical connections for both of the lamps 20. This holder 30 is of insulating material and is preferably formed by a molding process. To facilitate molding, the dual-socketed holder for the lamps 20 may be fabricated in two separate parts mating along edges 3! (Figure 11), these parts being respectively provided with registering pins and recesses to insure proper alignment of the parts. The lamp holder parts, which are recessed to provide a hollowed interior 32 when assembled, may be secured together by any suitable means, preferably by rivets 33 passing through aligned openings formed in the walls of both parts.
For holding the lamps in axially spaced, parallel relation, the holder 30 is formed with a pair of prong-receiving bosses 3535 disposed in vertically offset, parallel relation, these bosses being separated from one another by an intermediate body portion 36 having a frontal edge 37 extending at an angle of approximately 45 to the vertical when the holder is mounted in position as shown in Figure 5. The outer surfaces of the bosses 35-35 are respectively disposed in parallel planes extending normal to the frontal edge 31 of the holder and respectively project outwardly from arcuately shaped seats 3838 of a curvature closely corresponding to the cross-sectional curvature of the fluorescent lamp 20.
The boss 35 which projects outwardly from each of the arcuate lamp seating surfaces 38 is of a size and shape to fit within the recess conventionally formed in the plug 2| of the lamp 28 to thereby insure proper alignment and seating of the lamp on the holder and at the same time relieve the plug prongs of untoward strain when inserted into the prong-receiving contacts of the lamp holder. As most clearly appears in Figure H, each of the prong-receiving bosses 3535 is provided with four openings 40 therein, which respectively are in registry with tubular or other suitable contact elements 39 disposed interiorly of the holder and which are respectively engageable with the lamp prongs 22. It will be understood that these contact elements 39 may be of any conventional type, insulated from each other,
and supported in a manner which permits slight freedom of movement to accommodate variations in the plug prong alignment. For this purpose the interior of the lamp holder 38 may be provided with recesses for the contact elements and with suitable insulators, either integral with the I holder or separate members for electrically insulating the contact elements from each other. soldered to each connector is a wire conductor 43 which passes through the socket and is insulated along its length. In all, there are eight separate conductor wires connected to the contact elements 39, four for each of the lamp socket bosses 3535, which wires extend along the hollow interior of the holder for emergence through an end opening for conventional connection 1 with the auxiliary control apparatus, in a manner to be shortly described.
The dual-socketed holder 30 is detachably secured to the fixture base. For this purpose the holder is provided atone end thereof with an 11;
endwise-projecting tubular neck 52 the lateral walls of which define the wiring exit passage 5i, previously described. Preferably, this neck is of polygonal shape, usually square, so that upon insertion thereof in the correspondingly shaped opening I! in the base plate In of the fixture the holder 30 will be restrained against rotation about the axis of the tubular neck '52 and so present the socket bosses 3535 constantly in position to properly receive the plugs 21 of the lamps 2|].
The tubular neck 52 is perimetrally grooved, as at 54, this groove being so arranged that upon insertion of the tubular neck in the opening ll it is disposed interiorly of the fixture base [0.
For securing the holder to the base a quickdetachable clip member 55 is employed, this clip member being stamped and formed of flat spring steel stock to provide a U-shaped member having a pair of opposed wing portions SEE-55, the corresponding ends of which are interconnected by an end portion 51. The inner edges of the wing portions 5655 and the end portion 5'! are respectively bent at angle to the plane of the clip member and define therebetween a notch 58 for reception of the grooved tubular neck 52 of the lamp holder. The entrance to the notch 58 is restricted by a pair of inwardly presenting projections 5959. When the clip member is slidably engaged with the grooved neck 52 of the lamp holder, as best shown in Figure 8, with the angularly bent marginal edges of the notch seated in the groove 54-, the said edges serve as wedge elements to resiliently press the bottom of the lamp holder 29 tightly against the supporting base plate 10 of the fixture. The clip member is restrained against ready removal from its latching engagement with the lamp holder by the projections 59-59, which are spreadable to releasably embrace that portion of the grooved neck which extends freely across the open end of the notch 58. The requisite spreadability and resilience of the oppositely disposed parts of the clip are preferably attained by notching the clip as at 60-458. In order to facilitate attachment and detachment of the clip member 55, it may be provided with an upturned tail piece 6i which may be engaged by the fingers to push or pull the clip into or out of engagement with the neck 52 of the lamp holder 30.
In order to hold the lamps 28 in axially spaced, parallel relation, as shown in Figures 1 and i, the fixture is provided with a pair of auxiliary spring metal clamps TEll'3, each of the form best shown in Figures 1, 6 and 12. It will be observed that each auxiliary spring clamp '59 is provided with a flat base portion H which is perforated, as at T2, for registry with an aperture I3 in the base plate [8 of the fixture. A single bolt 14 projecting through the registering openings 12 and 73 secures the clamp to the base plate H). To prevent rotation of the clamp about the axis of the bolt M, the base portion H of the clamp is provided with a struck-out tab 15 for projection into an opening '16 in the fixture base plate H) L ,1 spaced from the securing bolt (4.
Each auxiliary spring clamp 78 is provided with a pair of arms H and T8 rising, respectively, from opposite ends of the base portion H thereof, one arm 18 being considerably longer than the other and having its outer end bent to a position in which it is in vertically spaced alignment with the shorter arm ll. Each of the arms l7 and 73 is arcuately curved at its outer free end to provide a seat 19 for accommodating therein the peripheral edge of a lamp 28, these seats l9!9 both presenting outwardly of the fixture as do the curved seats 38-38 of the lamp holder 36.
It will be apparent that by reason of the fact that the arms 1! and 18 rise individually from opposite ends of the supporting base portion H of each clamp 10, these arms are independently flexible and so either arm is free to shift relatively to the fixture without effecting corresponding shift of the other arm. Consequently, each arm engages the lamp in contact therewith with a degree of resiliency not affected by the resilience of the other arm and thus the resilient mounting and support of one lamp is not disturbed by the other should the latter be of a somewhat difierent overall diameter, as is frequently the case. Preferably, the longer arm 18 of each clamp is provided with a stiffening rib l8 along the length thereof immediately adjoining the supporting base portion H of the clamp.
Referring to Figure 13 wherein the fixture wiring is shown, the electrical circuit may be traced as follows: one side of the alternating current power source is connected by the conductor 80 to one of the conductor wires 43 of the lamp holder leading from one of a pair of the prong-receiving contact elements 3939. When a lamp 20 is plugged into a prong-receiving boss of the lamp holder, the cathode element (designated 20 in Figure 13) at one end of the lamp bridges the paired contact elements 39-39 and continues the circuit by way of a conductor lead 43 to one terminal of the starter switch 15, the remaining terminal of which is connected by the conductor lead 43 to one of the second pair of prong-receiving contact elements 3939 of the socket for the plugged-in lamp. The cathode element (designated 20 in Figure 13) at the opposite end of said lamp bridges this second pair of contact elements, the circuit being then continued through the conductor lead 13 to one terminal of the ballast coil [6, the remaining terminal of the latter being connected by the conductor wire 8| to the opposite side of the power supply. The circuit for the second lamp is identical with that of the first lamp, both circuits being connected as shown in parallel to the main power supply lines 80 and BI. It is thus apparent that the dual-socketed lamp holder 30 enables the independent connection of a pair of lamps, each with its own auxiliary apparatus, in a conventional manner wherein the lamp electrodes, starter switch and ballast coil for each lamp are in series until the thermally-operated starter switch opens for passage of current di rectly between the opposed electrodes of a lamp.
The fixture is preferably provided with a pair of the auxiliary clamps 10 and, of course, with only one dual-socketed holder 30 to mechanically hold in place and operatively connect in the electrical circuit the pair of axially spaced circular lamps 20, the two clamps I0 and the holder 30 being preferably spaced 120 apart around the peripheral edge of the fixture base plate Ill. The arcuate seats formed in the clamps and holder for reception of the lamp all present outwardly of the fixture, one set of these seats being disposed in one common plane for acceptance of one lamp and the other set being commonly disposed in a separate plane for acceptance of the other lamp.
The lamps may be mounted in position in the manner now to be described with reference to the view shown in Figure 1. Assuming the fixture to be mounted as shown, the upper lamp is first inserted at an angle with the plug side down so as to engage the lamp in the seats 19 formed in the arms 11 of the two circumferentially spaced spring clamps 10. The lamp is then shifted toward the holder 30 sufiiciently to clear the lower end of the latter, with the clamp arms 1! meanwhile flexing toward the socket to provide the requisite clearance. The lamp plug 21 is then lifted onto the frontal edge 31 of the holder and pushed along this edge to mate the plug prongs with the prong-receiving contact elements of the holder. The clamp arms 11 are resiliently biased away from the socket and, therefore, exert pressure on the lamp, firstly, to aid its insertion into the socket boss 35 and, secondly, to securely retain it therein. The slope of the edge 31 coacting with the pressure exerted on the lamp by the arms 71 of the clamps 10 serves to cam the plug into its proper seating engagement with the socket.
The lower lamp is applied to the fixture in a similar manner, this lamp being received in the seats 19 of the arms 18 of the spring clamps and in the lower seat 38 of the holder 30 with the lamp prongs respectively projecting into the openings 40 formed in the lower socket boss 35. Once assembled, the lamps are securely held by the holder and spring clamps, with each lamp being free to contract, expand or otherwise move independently of the other by reason of the independent flexing capability of the clamp arms I! and 18. This feature is of particular value in removing the lamps, as the lowermost may be removed without the need for grasping the uppermost to prevent its falling from the fixture as frequently occurs when single arm clamps are employed.
To remove the lamps the procedure of assembly as above described is merely reversed, the plug of the lower lamp being disengaged first, the lamp tilted downwardly on the plug side sufficiently to clear the holder 30 with the lamp rotating in its spring clamp seats 19. The lamp is then moved to the left to disengage it from the clamps and the same procedure is then followed in removing the upper lamp. Should it become necessary to also remove the socket or clamps for maintenance or repair purposes, these may be quickly and easily detached from the base in the manner previously described.
It will be understood that various changes may be made without departing from the spirit of the invention. For example, the escutcheon plate may be formed as, or provided with, a reflector; the clamps and socket may be positioned so as to grasp the outer rather than the inner peripheries of the lamps; the wiring may be modified for use with different auxiliary control equipment or a different power source; the number of lamps may be increased or differently spaced and positioned; and various other changes may be made in the form, size and details of the fixture or its component parts. It is, therefore, desired that the invention not be restricted to the specific construction shown in the drawings but be limited only by the scope and spirit of the ap pended claims.

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Ohio State coach Jim Tressel says he has no desire to give up calling plays and will not change his offensive philosophy in the wake of the Buckeyes' sixth consecutive loss to a top-10 team.
For the first time in his now-nine-year tenure in Columbus, Tressel is catching fire from all directions in the wake of Saturday night's 18-15 loss to No. 3 USC.
Letters to the sports editor of the local newspaper, bloggers, Web sites, columnists, radio talk shows and TV analysts have all criticized Tressel's conservative approach to the game and his handling of the team.
Tressel's offensive philosophy basically is built on playing for field position, avoiding turnovers at all cost and relying on defense and special teams to win the game.
"I'm not sure exactly what a wholesale change would entail. I mean, are we going to go to the Navy triple option? Probably not," Tressel said Tuesday. "Will we go conceptually to this or that? If you look at our teams from 2001 on, they haven't been exactly the same because, you know, you don't have the same people. But I don't know that we would make a wholesale [change]."
Tressel, who said he makes most of the play calls even though Jim Bollman has the title of offensive coordinator, disdained going for a touchdown in favor of an easy field goal on fourth-and-goal at the USC 1 early in the second quarter. He also favored punting on fourth-and-1 at the USC 45 in the third quarter.
With around 8 minutes left in the game and Ohio State gripping a 15-10 lead, the Buckeyes drove to a first down at the USC 35. After a run gained 3 yards, quarterback Terrelle Pryor threw an incompletion and then was sacked for a 4-yard loss that meant kicker Aaron Pettrey would have a 53-yard attempt on fourth-and-11 at the USC 36. Tressel elected to punt again.
That punt led to the Trojans taking control for an impressive 86-yard drive that won the game.
"I'll always believe that you win tough ballgames by making sure that you're the group that makes less mistakes, wins that field-position battle, [and] wins the battle in the trenches statistically," Tressel said. "So, no, I philosophically wouldn't go against that."
The vitriol Tressel has faced after the game is unlike any he has encountered in his eight-plus years as Buckeyes coach. His first Ohio State team went 7-5 in 2001 but beat Michigan, earning him genius status with the Buckeyes' frequently fickle fans.
Since then, he led the Buckeyes to a surprising national championship in 2002 and has dominated the series with the archrival Wolverines, winning seven of eight meetings.
But landslide losses in the 2006 and 2007 national title games to Florida and LSU, and subsequent defeats in high-profile games to USC, Penn State, Texas and again to USC have caused the critics to come after the guy in the sweater vest.
With the 11th-ranked Buckeyes (1-1) preparing to play Toledo at Cleveland Browns Stadium on Saturday, the glow of that 2002 national championship game seems light-years away.
Tressel said he has received critical e-mails, but said the fans' poison makes him feel sorry for them.
"When I read some of them I feel terrible for them because there's no way they're happy," he said. "They've got to be some of the most unhappy people in the world, and I feel bad because we just made them less happy, and I hate to be a part of making someone less happy. I mean, they're already miserable."

Celebrity Pictures in Designer Jeans
Denise Richards in Current/Elliott
Denise Richards sure is a fan of Current/Elliott! She was seen taking her daughters Sam and Lola and newly adopted Eloise shopping for toys in Malibu, California a couple of days ago.
Denise pulled out her Current/Elliott denim shorts which she wore back in August 2009. I love seeing celebs pull out their old denim, I always do it so it's fun being able to spot the older styles still! Don't you think Denise is gorgeous? I'm not too familiar with her but I think she's beautiful! Buy Current/Elliott jeans at Singer22.com.

Tom Cruise in PRPS
Tom Cruise was spotted arriving at the Soho Beach House in Miami, Florida. Tom decided to change things up and switched out his RRL jeans for a khaki PRPS pair. I think this whole look is a bit different than what we are used to seeing him in. It is a lot more relaxed. usually Tom is pretty clean looking. The Miami heat probably got to him.
I find khaki is a wash like gray, if it is not the right shade, it can really throw off your look. I find some can be too yellow and bright at times. I think the pair that Tom has on are a great shade. They still have a camel/beige tone to them that I think khaki needs. Not a lot, just a tint.
Jennifer Garner in J Brand and Ben Affleck in Joe's
Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck were seen celebrating the holiday weekend with their daughters. The family were seen grabbing brunch in Malibu. They're such a cute family, I love seeing them out together!
Jennifer wore her J Brand Inez chinos and a simple sweater. Ben showed his hometown pride by wearing a Boston Hockey tee shirt and a pair of Joe's jeans.

Roger Goodell, DeMaurice Smith meeting in Minnesota to resolve NFL labor dispute
MINNEAPOLIS — NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and NFLPA executive director DeMaurice Smith opened four days of labor talks in Minnesota on Tuesday, getting together without players or owners in the room.
Three people familiar with the situation told The Associated Press that the two power brokers and staff members resumed negotiations aimed at ending a lockout now in its fourth month. The people spoke on condition of anonymity because no labor developments are being made public.
People familiar with the situation said the executive committee of the players' association planned a conference call later Tuesday to discuss the negotiations. NFL.com first reported that Goodell and Smith were meeting.
Smith planned to go to Florida by Wednesday morning to attend a symposium for rookies in Bradenton. The people told the AP that the two sides were planning to meet through Friday.
The traditional start of training camp is just three weeks away and Chicago and St. Louis are scheduled to play the annual Hall of Fame game on Aug. 7. Yet Detroit Lions defensive end Lawrence Jackson said he believes there still isn't enough urgency to reach a deal on a new collective bargaining agreement — not yet.
"From a business perspective, nobody is losing anything right now," Jackson said at a youth sports camp in Walled Lake, Mich. "The owners haven't had to pay offseason bonuses — so they're making interest on the money they're not spending — and most of the players aren't used to getting paid until we start training camp in late July. Until then, I don't think we're missing much."
The lockout began on March 12, and players have not been allowed to train at team facilities or contact their coaches, with the exception of a few days in April when the lockout was briefly lifted.
Players on several teams have practiced on their own, trying to keep in football shape so they'll be prepared to get back to business on the field whenever the labor impasse ends.
The key issue in the dispute is how to divide revenues after the league took in about $9.3 billion last year.
Previous "secret meetings" have taken place in suburban Chicago, New York, the Maryland shore and last week in Hull, Mass., south of Boston. The federal courts in Minneapolis are familiar ground for both sides, since the current collective bargaining system was put together under court oversight here and it's where an antitrust lawsuit filed by players against the league is still pending.
Lions defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh said he believes progress is being made.
"The main thing is that they're talking and being able to interact with each other," he said. "There was a point in time where there was nothing being said and we were just sitting back. Now, there's some interaction and it looks like there's some positive light at the end of the tunnel. We're looking forward to getting it done. I'm ready to get back on the field."

I went to Gambia thinking the hardest aspect of the country to capture would be the people. I'm not a natural portrait photographer and was a little nervous of asking the locals if it was OK to take their picture. Not everybody wants a lens stuck in their face when you're trying to earn an honest days pay selling fish or vegetables at the market – and that's fine and to be respected – but in the end the combination of a good guide, a bit of friendly banter and some polite requests resulted in me not only coming back with hundred of portraits – but also some of my fondest memories from the trip. The friendly interaction with the locals – the kids at Kanuma Village, the stallholders of Brikama market, the old man of the Makasutu Forest…. fantastic memories….
I have nothing more that I can say but enjoy the beauty, elegance and dignity of the Gambian people.
Thank you to the people of Brikama Market, Mandina Lodges, Makasutu Forest and Kanuma Village. Thank you The Gambia Experience. Thank you Gambia…

There's a saying, "The pessimist complains about the wind. The optimist expects it to change. The realist adjusts the sail."
I was speaking with a friend yesterday about adapting and being willing to adjust your own sails in order to rise one's self to another level.
We see it time and time again… people fastened in their ways, almost stranded, because they have an idea of how it will work – they have a concrete plan. The problem with concrete is that once it's set, it's hard to break. We need to be willing to understand that adapting is all part of the development. The alterations may feel out of your comfort zone, and sometimes they may even feel more like a failure; but the beauty to be found in that, is that your not still cemented or caught in the wind taking you nowhere. You have moved forward. You're no longer held in suspension.
Just remind yourself, that with every right or wrong bend in the sails – with courage, hard-work and tenacity in the rudder, you will get to your desired destination, and you will have learnt a hell of a lot about yourself on the way.
I pray all are having an undeniably magical week.
All my love, Tania xo

"Search the scriptures — search the revelations which we publish and ask your Heavenly Father, in the name of His Son Jesus Christ, to manifest the truth unto you, and if you do it with an eye single to His glory nothing doubting, He will answer you by the power of His Holy Spirit. You will then know for yourselves and not for another." — Joseph Smith, Prophet

And I also beheld that all children who die before they arrive at the years of accountability are saved in the celestial kingdom of heaven.

Product Description
Product Description
Japanese edition of the diva's sophmore album which debutedon The Billboard 200 at #1. 16 tracks including The Billboard Hot 100 Top Ten single 'Love Don't Cost A Thing' along with the Japanese bonus track, 'I'm Waiting' which is exclusive to this pressing.
Like Will Smith, Jennifer Lopez has entered the singing-dancing-acting zone of the bona fide superstar and has developed an ego to match her talents. J. Lo, the follow-up to her multiplatinum 1999 debut On the 6, makes little attempt to tinker with the Latina-soul formula that record patented, employing an army of coproducers and writers (including partner Puffy) to assemble a slick 15-track affair. If anything, Lopez's sound is safe, even retro, with some tracks looking back to the 1980s--particularly the Michael Jackson-influenced "I'm Real" and the funky, impressive "Play." Her Puerto Rican background comes to the fore on a handful of Spanish numbers, notably "Cariño," which samples Cuban percussionist Mongo Santamaria's "Sofrito" to impressive effect. It goes badly wrong on the "La Isla Bonita" soundalike "Ain't It Funny," which merely serves to reinforce the impression that Lopez is happy to settle for being the Latina Madonna. --Mike Pattenden --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

I'm Real - The videoclip is very good, too bad the dancebreak isn't included in the mp3. (4/5)
Play - First I didn't like this song, but now I do. However, it is't J.Lo's best song! (3,5/5)
Walking On Sunshine - Good summer song! Nothing to say about it (3,5/4)
Ain't It Funny - The BEST track of the whole album. The lyric, music, voice..everything is good! (5/5)
Cariño - Catchy song, love the beat! (4/5)
Come Over - I don't prefer this song. It's boring..(3/5)
We Gotta Talk - I love this song! But the album has better ones. (3,5/5)
That's Not Me - Her voice is GREAT here. I also like the lyric (4,5/5)
Dance With Me - I don't prefer this song, there are better dance songs! (3/5)
I'm Gonna Be Alright - Good song, but the trackmasters remixes with 50 and Nas are better (4,5/5)
Secretly - The worst track on the album! (1,5/5)
That's The Way - Good song :)..one of my favourites! (4/5)
Dame - Love her latin songs! (4,5/5)
Si Ya Se Acabo - See above (4,5/5)
I'm Real (Murder Remix) - Next to AIF this song is also the BEST ! (5/5)
However not all the songs are 5 stars I give the whole album 5 stars :)! It's her best ever!
"J Lo" starts off with possibly her biggest hit, "Love Don't Cost A Thing" which actually has a decent message. In this song, J Lo tries to tell her man that "all that matters is that you treat me right, give me all the things I need that money can't buy". In other words, he's trying to buy her love, which he already has, and what she needs is to spend time with him. The major downside to this song is the mediocre lyrics and almost excessive amounts of slang. However, unlike on her debut, the bridge of the song is lyrically the high point even though vocally it is not much different. Subsequently, come two of J Lo's other singles, "I'm Real" and "Play". "I'm Real" has an extremely clichéd theme and decent lyrics. It is actually one of the better songs of this theme though it does have some unaccredited rapper (I think it's P Diddy but I'm not sure) muttering phrases in the background. "Play" was co-written by pop singer Christina Milian. This song has little to offer in the way either vocals or lyrics but it is a decent enough dance song.
Next comes one of the most irritating tracks, "Walking On Sunshine".Read more ›
Love Don't Cost A Thing-Although this track has a good message (that money can't buy you love), the lyrics and vocals leave a lot to be desired. The lyrics do a good job of getting the message across but they use a fair amount of slang making it a little hard to understand. The vocals are slightly better then usual on J Lo's fast tracks but they could still be improved. The presence of the background singers is too obvious especially in the chorus. The bridge is the strongest part of the song. 4/5
I'm Real- Generally, I dislike the "I'm real, all this fame and money hasn't affected me" style of song. This one is actually one of the better ones. The lyrics are slightly better in this song but still not great. We also have P Diddy muttering "She's a bad bad b**ch" in the background, a vain attempt to gain street cred. The end of this song gets very repetitive since the chorus is sung over and over in the exact same way.Read more ›

Samana Hotel Guide
Life Is a Song in Samana
Nature does the speaking in Samana. Listen to the songs of soft breezes dancing through vast coconut groves. Hear the breath of bats sleeping inside exotic caves. Enjoy the way a gentle rain dances on the thatched roof of a romantic cabana. Main streets are lined with colourful buildings and low-key attractions. You'll encounter friendly locals and fresh markets on your daily stroll.
Perfect Weather
With an average annual temperature of 25 degrees Celsius, this portion of the Caribbean is one of the world's most perfect vacation destinations. Savour slightly cooler temperatures in Samana during December, January, and February. While snow falls in the rest of the world, wintertime is the perfect time to visit the beautiful beaches here. Extra sprinkles of moisture and humidity enter the air during May through November. Stay at one of the hotels in Samana to experience luxury, fresh coconut drinks, and views of turquoise waves any time of the year.
How to Pass the Time in Paradise
How should you spend your time in this hidden paradise? Since this portion of the Dominican Republic is nearly devoid of tourist attractions, relaxing is the default pastime. Hot beaches include Playa Moron, Playa Bonita, and Playa Madama. Add some thrills on horseback excursions or get to know local history at Taino Park. Excursions to Bacardi Island are also popular. Use the convenient highway linking Samana with Santo Domingo to drive to the island's capital.
