One of the things that infuriates me about dogs is how much they are loved by others. There are a few other animals I loath, black widow spiders, for one, but have no inclination to seek "I hate black widow spider" sites. It's the mindless ignorant fawning over dogs by their fans that adds fuel to my dog hate fire. "Yes, four legs are better than two." "Anyone who really wants to live the good life these days has to grow a tail." "My favorite child has four legs and fur". "We can learn a lot from dogs". "Dogs are smarter than most people." "Dogs are angels sent from Heaven." "Dogs give uncondtional love". I just want to scream at these fools, "How can you read all that stuff into a butt-snffing, turd-eating, walnut brained, clueless, amoral, biting, barking, instinct driven pack animal, you self-flattering, delusional dog cultist??!
As I calm down, another approach might be better. A bluff call. If these people admire dogs so damn much, if they are envious of its wagging tail, its live for the moment mentality, its furry body, its "forgiving" and "loyal" nature, would they want to BE a dog? Would they want to sprout a tail, walk on all fours, have their cranium shrink, their tongue loll, their expression become dorky and glazed, their muzzle slobbering over anyone who balances a biscuit on their nose? Would they enjoy being neutered, leashed, goo-talked, and groped by every stranger that sees them? Would they like to stick their nose into every butt they encounter, and pee and poop in public? Would dying of old age at around 14 appeal to them? What about being illiterate and speechless? Next time a dog lover raves about dogs, ask them if they would like to become one. They can convert to Hinduism and pray they get reincarnated as a dog.

A Frisco development that stalled during the recession is reviving with new construction.
A 275-unit urban-style apartment project will be built in Frisco Square by developer PegasusAblon and investor Behringer.
It's the second major addition announced in the last few months for Frisco's 14-year-old town center on the Dallas North Tollway.
"We are putting the same kind of amenity base in the project that people want in Uptown and Legacy," said developer Michael Ablon. "There's a large constituency that wants that in Frisco."
The four-story Ablon at Frisco Square will be constructed south of Main Street and just across from Frisco's City Hall.
Ablon said the apartments, designed by BGO Architects, will open at the end of next year.
The Frisco rental complex will be of the same quality that developers are building in Uptown and other popular central Dallas neighborhoods, he said.
"Everybody talks about the generation that wants the urban lifestyle in Uptown," Ablon said. "But there is a large number of the same folks that want the same things but are more suburban."
PegasusAblon has already built one successful Frisco apartment project.
In 2012, the Dallas-based developer and El Paso-based builder Hunt Cos. built the 252-unit Ablon at Frisco Bridges apartments at the tollway and Warren Parkway. That project was sold to Colonial Properties.
PegasusAblon and Behringer's apartment project is the second major development announced in Frisco Square this summer.
In June, Plano-based Gearbox Software said it is moving to an office building to be developed in Frisco Square by Encore Office LLC and Wolverine Interests.
The 166,000-square-foot building will be on Main Street when it opens next year.
The project will also include a five-story parking garage, retail and fitness facilities.
The 147-acre Frisco Square was planned in the late 1990s to contain up to 4.4 million square feet of office, retail, multifamily and municipal buildings.

Once upon a time I worked for a large corporation. One of the managers there prided herself on being on the go. She was a constant whirlwind and ran between meetings (literally). She felt busy and important.
If effective management were measured by busy-ness, she would have been the queen. But it isn't and she wasn't.
Let's face it we all have to much to do. Here are two articles that will help you make a "Not To Do" list and get out of the busy-ness trap.
From HBR on "slow management," The Trap of Overwhelming Demands.

I've read twelve books from my Unread Library since starting the project in July 2010. I can't decide if I've done well or am in need of improvement, though I'm leaning towards "pick up the pace, woman." Six of the books were from Charlaine Harris's Sookie series, the same that inspired the TV show True Blood. They are fast, easy, and don't require braincells, which makes them perfect summer reads. They account for 50% of my progress and (hello!) I read all six during the final dog days of August. Yeah, I need to pick up the pace. Here's what I have read so far.
- The Story of Edgar Sawtelle, by David Wroblewski was the first book I finished. The Barnes and Noble near me had assigned it to their book club members and I bought it hoping to be a part of the group, which was foolhardy. The group did not accept new members. I tried reading it on my own, and got about a third of the way in when I let it go. A year later, Oprah put it on her Book Club list. I should have known. Oprah and I are on divergent paths when it comes to reading. I am rarely in love with her picks, and this book was no exception. I wanted to love it, but I think this book, which parallels the plot lines in Hamlet almost exactly, requires a working knowledge of the tragedy to better appreciate the story. I'm not well versed in Shakespeare and avoid tragedies as a general rule so, for me, this is a book I should have read in a book club or with friends who could explain to me the nuances and key points.
- Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen. Don't ask me why I didn't fall head over heels for this book. Part of my problem, I think, is that I read too fast to properly enjoy the story. I didn't dislike this book. On the contrary, I read it in four days. You don't do that with books you can't stand. Still, there was something that has kept it from my reread pile. The most concrete thing I can pinpoint in my dissatisfaction is that the love I had for the narrator as an old man weakened when the story recounted the past. Old Jacob jumped off the page for me, while young Jacob didn't seem as full of life. I am eager to see the movie, though!
- All Together Dead, Dead and Gone, Dead in the Family, Definitely Dead, From Dead to Worse, by Charlaine Harris. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that the word dead has to be in every title in Harris's catalog. You heard it here first. And that pretty much sums up what I have to say about the series. It's fun, campy, and the kind of thing you read on the beach. I bought the series a few years back and read the first three quickly. I tried to read the next three but couldn't. I tend to read in spurts and stops, alternating between fluff and stuff, and I was done with fluff after the first three. This summer, everything that annoyed me about this series the previous year went poof! and suddenly I was up late reading about vampire drama. The latest in the series comes out in May. You got to hand it to Harris; she's prolific.
- After a three month break, where I re-read books I own or found ways to justify reading books from the library, I got back into the swing of things. We went to Lake Tahoe for Thanksgiving, which is always good for reading. On that trip, I brought (and read) Everything is Illuminated by Jonathan Safran Foer. True story: when I opened Everything is Illuminated out popped an airline ticket stub (remember those?) from ten years prior. The destination was Lake Tahoe. I was destined to read that book in Lake Tahoe, just a decade later than I anticipated.
- The second book I brought with me to Lake Tahoe was To the Lighthouse by Virginia Woolf, a book I have started and stopped for, again, ten years. It was an amazing book, the kind that makes you examine your own writing and realize that you don't amount to a hill of beans. I have so many notes and have so thoroughly underlined that book that I could probably devote several months to it in my Compositions series. I haven't, mainly because I don't want to bore you or seem like an angst ridden high school senior, which is when most people read Viriginia Woolf. What can I say? I never claimed to be well read.
- Next, I read Bloodroot by Amy Greene. The Mister bought me this book when it first came out. It's set in the Smoky Mountains of eastern Tennessee and the author, from what I heard, does a superb job of recreating the people and the setting of the part of our country. I've never been, nor have I met someone from the Smoky Mountains, so I'm taking this to be true. The beginning started off strong, and I thought the book would be American magical realism, but that seemed to taper off as we moved forwarded and settled into southern tragedy. I would have preferred the former over the latter.
- The Help, by Kathryn Stockett was not on my list of books. It was a birthday gift, and I'm tossing it in here to justify why I'm so far behind on my other reading. The book was an enjoyable read, and I'm excited to see the movie. I didn't love it, and if you haven't already figured it out, I rarely love books. I read too many to love every book I come across, no matter how deserving the praise. That almost jaded attitude when it comes to books is truly the saddest part about reading as much as I do. For me to say I loved a book, I have to dread seeing it come to an end. When it does end, I read parts of it over and over for weeks to come to get it out of my system. I love that feeling.
- Chronicle of a Death Foretold by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. I read this quickly once I got into it. Funny thing about Garcia-Marquez. One Hundred Years of Solitude, which I read in high school, was my favorite book hands down until I read Love in the Time of Cholera. I should have made commission on that book for all the times I recommended it. Decades later I tried to read it again and I could not get into it!
- Most recently, I read The Witch of Portobello by Paulo Coelho. This book is much like Coelho's other books in that it centers around a character or characters in the process of discovery or spiritual quest. And, like most Coelho novels, I was at turns enthralled and annoyed. Parts of it inspired a composition, but other parts had me rolling my eyes. Coelho can get new-agey, and that's where he loses me.
And that's it. Twelve books, six months. Not bad, not great if I want to start reading contemporary literature again. There are so many books coming out that I want to read, and so many authors you have introduced to me, like Jeanette Winterson that leave me desperate trying to come up with excuses to run out and buy her entire bibliography. Does the Easter bunny leaves presents for adults? If so, I know exactly what I want to see in my basket.

Billy Flower this week insisted it has been an honour to lead the Lewis and Harris Select, and laterly Lewis and Harris FC, as the man at the helm of the island's representative side.
He recently brought the curtain down on his 13-year tenure as both manager, and assistant in his earlier days, by tendering his resignation.
Speaking to the Gazette this week Flower reflected fondly on a number of highlights with the squads, recalled handing debuts to youngsters who have gone on to greater things but he insisted he believes it is the correct time for a change.
"Time for me to move on because I feel local football is at a crossroads and I feel it is time for somebody else to move it forward with their new ideas," he said.
"As a player, it was an honour to represent the Lewis & Harris Select , the pride of Lewis footballers. I tried to develop that in my time in management with the introduction of dress codes, shirt and ties on match day, club tracksuits, pre-match meets, post-match functions etc. I wanted to make playing for the Lewis and Harris Select a special occasion that players could look back on with pride. But times are changing.
"The Island Games have come along offering players the chance to play at another level against international teams in foreign countries. Players should be fighting tooth and nail to make these Island Games squads. It is a great competition and I would urge every footballer to try and reach that standard. But we must be mindful of the cost of this to the local game.
"Island Games athletes are the elite athletes in their islands and they train relentlessy for two years to try and shave sometimes just a tenth of a second off personal best times. Swimmers are the same.
"Why should footballers be different? Let the footballers commence their training plan now for the next games two years down the line and let us wish them all every success but in my opinion it should work alongside local, representative football not against it."
See this week's Gazette to read the rest of the indepth feature with Billy.

Visit BRIDES's profile on Pinterest.
Every week, we round up our favorite Pinterest pins of the week, from helpful visual guides to gorgeous wedding-dress inspiration, to show you what's popular in the bridal world right now. Read on to see everything we're currently pinning, repinning, and obsessing over.
What better way to get your guests excited for your big day than with a wedding stationery set that's bursting with color? We're loving the coral and magenta color combination mixed with pops of gold, an elegant touch that compliments the formal script.
Walking through a sea of floating bubbles with your love in tow? Count us in for this magical, picture-perfect moment.
If you're looking for the perfect dance-ready wedding shoes, these Tory Burch wedge sandals might be The One! With low heels, solid foot support, and a beautiful metallic finish, these gold shoes are proof that you don't have to skimp on style to be comfortable on your wedding day.
In our latest roundup of local vendors, we highlighted Brooklyn's best florists — and they did not disappoint! These floral industry trendsetters raise the bar when it comes to style and creativity, using unexpected elements like seasonal fruits and vegetables to craft the perfect wedding bouquet.
Is there anything more classic that an off-the-shoulder wedding dress? This bride looked absolutely regal in her custom silk dupioni gown. The only criteria? "We only looked at pictures online and discussed what I liked and disliked," the bride recalled. Sigh. If only all wedding tasks were this simple.
If you're hosting a seaside, nautical-themed wedding bash, this ceremony arch should be on the top of your wishlist. Arranged with gorgeous bright blooms and a vintage ship wheel, we can just imagine exchanging "I dos" with the sound of the waves crashing below and the gentle coastal breeze whistling overhead.
When it comes to your big-day confection, a naked cake is always a good idea. This boho couple opted for an eye-catching, three-tiered Mexican chocolate cake decorated with pink-and-red blooms for a stunning display. Swoon.

Our house is still a bit confused. I love our kitchen except for one big empty wall. Our great room needs some loving. One of my favourite hobbies is searching online, through magazines and in stores for inspiration. We haven't been in our house for a year yet and being that it's new we've been told to wait at least one year to paint. Waiting is killing me. Not that we know what colours we'd go with. That just means I always have my eyes open for inspiration.
I adore this shower curtain and the colours.
I love this vignette and the shade of blue. It's such a warm piece. We have a few places in our home where this would look great. Definitely something to keep in mind.
Tell me, where do you get your home inspiration from? Any suggestions?
On a side note, tonight I'm off to +Design Series hosted by iYellow Wine Club at the Liberty Village West Elm store and I cannot wait. Is anyone else going?

Skillet Lamb Curry with Cauliflower and Peas
Published in Cover and Bake
Why This Recipe Works
For a quicker lamb curry recipe, we chose inexpensive shoulder chops, removing the meat from the bones and cutting it into small cubes so it only required an abbreviated cooking time to become tender. When it came to spices for the dish, many lamb curry recipes suggest creating a curry from a blend of different herbs and spices. Although we liked this idea, the flavor difference between a homemade curry mix and a premixed curry powder from the supermarket turned out to be very small—certainly not worth searching out the five or six different spices required for the homemade mix.

Meet "Dolfi", a next-generation ultrasonic "washing machine" that fits in the palm of your hand. Designed by Switzerland's MPI Ultrasonics, the smartphone-sized gadget conveniently fits in any bathroom, suitcase, or purse. No need to splash out for your hotel's laundry service, rack up dry-cleaning bills, or labor over a sink: The Dolfi promises to clean even delicate fabrics, such as silk or cashmere, with minimal water, energy, and fuss. Harnessing the "power of ultrasound" is easy. Simply place your garments in some water, add a squeeze of detergent, plop in the device, and turn it on. In 30 to 40 minutes, your clothes will be fresh and clean, ready for rinsing and hanging up to dry.
As newfangled as it sounds, ultrasonic cleaning has been around since the 1950s. The technology works by turning electrical vibrations into high-frequency sound waves, which react with any surrounding liquid to create millions of microscopic bubbles. The bubbles rapidly increase in size until they implode on contact with the object being cleaned, creating an effective but gentle scrubbing action that lifts dirt and grime from crevices.
Because of its depth of penetration, ultrasound doesn't create the wear and tear that comes from mechanical agitation. It also works with just water, although a suitable cleaning fluid enhances the effect.
RELATED | Scrubba's Pocket-Size Laundry Bag is World's Smallest Washing Machine
Unlike its industrial-sized brethren, however, Dolfi is being positioned as the "world's smallest and gentlest ultrasonic washing machine," suitable for everyday consumer use.
MPI Ultrasonics plans to launch a crowdfunding campaign on IndieGoGo this month, with projected delivery of Dolfi devices in August. No word on pricing yet.
Update: Jan. 22, 2015
The Dofli is now available for preorder of IndieGoGo at an early-bird price of $99, with free shipping within the United States. Part of campaign funds will go toward dolphin research and welfare.

Welcome to the Smart Set. Every morning we bring you the gossip coverage, filtered. Today: Charlize Theron is a busy lady, Jason Segel and Michelle Williams have that new couple glow, and Chris Christie explains what he was really doing when he fell asleep at a Bruce Springsteen concert.
Charlize Theron is a new mom. She also recently went on "what appeared to be a second date" with Alexander Skarsgård at the Soho House in West Hollywood. (We would have taken Charlize Theron to a batting cage, but that's neither here nor there.) A source says the pair looked very "couple-y." [New York Daily News]
Speaking of looking very couple-y:, here's a rundown of the cloying, new couple-y things Michelle Williams and Jason Segel did at the afterparty following the premiere of The Five Year Engagement:
- Nose kissing (Segel, to Williams)
- Hand-holding (mutual)
- Ear-whispering (Segel, to Williams)
- Back rubbing (Williams, to Segel)
- Curtain pulling behinding (Segel, to Williams)
- Snuggling (mutual)
In public! [People]
New Jersey Governor Chris Christie has finally gotten around to denying that story about him sleeping through Bruce Springsteen's encore at Madison Square Garden a few weeks back. "I have never fallen asleep at a Bruce Springsteen show and I will never fall asleep during a Bruce Springsteen show," Christie said. He might have been wise to stop there, but then he did that thing Chris Christie does where he talks about how hard it is being Chris Christie, America's sweetheart. "This shows you the level of intrusiveness now into my life — there's some joker taking pictures of me at Madison Square Garden. When I was like fist-pumping during 'Badlands,' I'm glad no one took pictures of that. When I was contorting myself to 'Because the Night,' no one took pictures of that." We look forward to reading the ContortingChrisChristie Tumblr later this afternoon. [Page Six]
How is Keith Olbermann filling his days since getting the axe at Current TV? By puttering around New York City, sometimes looking nice, sometimes looking not so nice. On Wednesday, Page Six "spies" (read: people on the street) snapped a photo of Olbermann in "a giant red pullover and clownishly baggy jeans as he strolled 59th Street near Seventh Avenue, smelling the roses — or, in this case, the horse manure, allergens and aromas from a nearby food cart." Ha, clownishly baggy. The Post did note that Olbermann looked natty and ready to take on the world yesterday when they tried to catch up with him when he was leaving his apartment. He was wearing "sunglasses and a blue golf shirt" and even "politely waved at a reporter" who was asking him a question, possibly about where he buys his red pullovers. No details were provided regarding the pants. [Page Six]
"Enjoy your last ride on Air Force One." That's apparently what President Obama told former Rep. Anthony Weiner back in 2009 after Weiner " "ripped into the president's health care plan" on a plane ride to Washington. The nugget comes from Robert Draper's upcoming book Do Not Ask What Good We Do, about the House of Representatives. [The Reliable Source]

VCAT apologises for error & revokes issued permit to build mosque17 Comments Published by Office 2 April 19th, 2013 in A Call To Action, Afganistan, Australia, Christian Church Issues, Christian Persecution, Courage, Islam, Multiculturalism, Politics, Prayer, Rise Up Australia
Dear family & friends in Christ,
1) Thank you so very much for praying and standing with us yesterday for the VCAT hearing, which went very well, lasting only 15 minutes.
CTFM was represented by our Planning Consultant and our Solicitor. The City of Casey Council was represented by their legal firm. There was no one representing the mosque.
The Deputy Commissioner of VCAT walked in and took her place. She apologised several times about the error caused by VCAT in overlooking our application against the mosque?s permit being issued. She also acknowledged that the application made by CTFM was valid and that it was made within the 21 day period.
Thus, she stated that the permit issued by the City of Casey Council to build the mosque was invalid and instructed the Council to revoke the permit, for which the Council?s lawyers agreed to do so.
Pr Daniel stated, "I am very appreciative of the fact that VCAT accepted its mistake and apologised. However, we had to pay for the VCAT's mistake. I think that is not at all fair.?
In the month of July, VCAT plans to hear our case against the mosque being built in Doveton next to our proposed new premises for CTFM. We will keep you posted over the next few months.
This is only a small win at this point. We need to pray that the mosque will not be built in Doveton. Please pray for God's clear guidance for our legal team.

Coastal paradise for sale in the Whitsundays
Is this Australia's best beach house? Ian and Sissy Bishop certainly think so, the couple that watched the six-bedroom property being built in one of Queensland's most idyllic spots ten years ago, as they soon bought it for $4million.
The 75 acre property in the Whitsundays, known as 'Heaven's Gate', will soon go to auction. It includes the main two-storey residence and a separate two-level caretaker's residence, plus the private beachfront. There's also a wet-edge pool, two heated spas, cinema, tennis court, gym and, if required, a helipad too.
And, according to the Bishops, it is positioned to be one of the only places on Australia's east coast where you can see the sun setting over the ocean. View the property here.

Free Download Start Menu X Pro Full Version

When it comes to Windows 8, the program integrates a start button and is able to hide the start screen at startup as well. When the applications starts, the program creates an icon in the system tray and automatically changes the start menu, while giving you the possibility to use a shortcut for switching to default mode.

You can choose one of the five skins for the start menu, change the scale mode, ask the program to automatically adjust the column width, as well as enable virtual groups. As far as virtual groups are concerned, you can contain and exclude programs for each group, create and remove new groups as well as edit existing ones.

Comments: I HIGHLY recommend Got Brick Work!! Everado Torres was very professional and polite through our whole encounter. He and co., completely rebuilt our stone mailbox. A car actually crashed into it and demolished the whole thing. Ours was a double mailbox, my neighbor and I. I was thrilled to find Everado, the job was completed in one day and the mailbox actually looks better than it did before. I would DEFINITELY use his services again. Thanks again Everado and Got Brick Work!!!!!!
Review Date: 09/11/2017 |
Comments: We had some cracked, chipped, and broken bricks on our sixty year old house that we wanted to have painted.

Review Date: 10/25/2016 |
Comments: Everardo is awesome! He's the owner of "Got Brick Works?" I contacted 8 other business' before I met him and I knew right away by his professionalism and kindness that he was the one. His wrk was top notch and I am so happy that I found him. He did beautiful brickwork flower beds around my trees and a super cool brick edging along the side of my house. He's a man of his word, always calls back and follows up with you and takes true value in his work. When you find someone like this you keep his card because you want to spread the word. He's an asset to anyone that needs excellent quality, fair pricing brick work. Thanks Everardo for making my yard look beautiful! :):)
Review Date: 10/07/2016 |
Comments: Definitely will use Got Brick Work again and highly recommend them. Prompt courteous service. Very knowledgeable staff. Great job!
Review Date: 07/13/2016 |
Comments: Got Brick Work, Everardo Torres, and that team went beyond my expectations for quality, value, and service of work. From the start of our work relationship, to the end of the job, I was extremely impressed each day with the quality of work and commitment to achieving our retaining wall and back yard landscape objectives. I must say, that this was more than your ordinary retaining wall. Mr. Torres walked in and immediately saw my vision and completed Job#1 perfectly and expediently. I shared my vision for a patio extension, Job #2, which was to be concrete slab, which he even provided guidance and work providers. In addition, he provided a much better vision than mine, by extending the retaining wall, and completing that job in amazing time, to form a perfect backyard environment. I can't wait to show off their work. Thank you Everardo Torres and the Got Brick Work team!! My family and I thank you for the quality of work, the honesty, the value, the professionalism, and making this an incredibly pleasant and friendly experience. I know that if I ever need any brick, walkway, or stone work done in the future, I am definitely calling Got Brick Work! One more thing….WOW!
Review Date: 05/23/2016 |
Comments: Evaradro Torres was outstanding in every way. A "friend" thought he could fix a flower garden wall that had cracks. The first thing he did was demolish it. Then he decided that he could not do the work. I was horrified, as I am sure that my neighbors were. Everardo came out the same day that I called him (Saturday). The work was done in an excellent manner by the next day (Sunday). While the cost was high, as always, you get what you pay for. Thanks Everardo for such great service and work.
Review Date: 04/24/2016 |
Comments: Great job! Really great guys who do really nice work!
Review Date: 02/29/2016 |
Comments: Everardo was very professional, listened to what we had to say, and was very responsible. The work he did for us is beautiful!!!! The brick arches look like a work of art!
Review Date: 02/29/2016 |
Comments: Mr Torres & his crew are wonderful at what they do & they did a great job at a good price.
Review Date: 12/22/2015 |
Comments: I needed to have a fair amount of brick repair done after my foundation repair and got a couple of estimates. Everardo was very responsive, came out several times to evaluate and answer questions about the job (before and after the foundation was lifted) I could have saved about $1k with another contractor, however, I didn't quite trust him since he would have subcontracted the work and I just had a bad feeling. The trust factor was huge, so I went with Everardo and it paid off in spades. He knows his business, he's honest, trustworthy, and very professional. He takes pride in his work and it shows. Anything that didn't pass his excellence test was redone and I didn't even have to request it. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great contractor and I will be using him again for at least one other project.
Review Date: 09/14/2015 |
Comments: Eraldo Torres was very knowledgeable, kind, and professional. He called back immediately and followed through. Thank you.
Review Date: 09/04/2015 |
Comments: These guys are amazing. They built a beautiful wall, with a very substantial foundation. They were very professional, truly cleaned up the project site and were all around nice guys. They had to take down an existing wall and it turned out to be a much more difficult problem than any of us expected but no complaints, no extra fees, just happy, friendly and workman like. We recommend them enthusiastically. Fair price for this quality. Hard working good folks. John and Carol
Review Date: 07/13/2015 |

Comments: Outstanding job. Completely surpassed my expectations. On time and on budget. Everything a homeowner could want. Stop looking and hire Got Brick Work!
Review Date: 04/22/2015 |
Comments: Attentive on first call, prompt to come review the situation, prompt on the bid (high, but I needed it done right away). Repair fell over holiday so some delay was expected. With four men, work was quick once on the job. Clean up was exemplary. Communication was good throughout. By far the best of all who responded.
Review Date: 04/20/2015 |
Comments: Very good work at a fair price. Finished the work in a few days, which is what was agreed upon. Cleaned up after the work was done. Will recommend these people and will use them for future work.

Review Date: 08/25/2014 |
Comments: This is one of those trades that is slowly fading away, and it's good to find people out there that can do this work at an expert level for very reasonable pricing. These guys know brick. Definitely recommendable and trustworthy.
Review Date: 08/16/2014 |
Comments: It was a great experience
Review Date: 08/11/2014 |
Comments: I needed someone that could match the stone work that I already had in my family room. I was concerned with it not matching the original work and it would be obvious that it wasn't originally that way. He assured me that he could. I was so pleased with the results that I hired them to do all the stone work fir my outdoor kitchen. Just like the other work, it matches the existing exterior stone work. Professional and reasonable.
Review Date: 07/14/2014 |
Comments: Everardo exceded my expectations in the way he prepared the base before setting the pavers on a small patio.The patio will be there long after I'm gone. It's very rare to get this quality of work at a reasonable rate. I strongly recommend Everardo for any brick, paver or cement work.
Review Date: 05/07/2014 |
Comments: I called them on Friday morning , they came by and gave me an estimate by noon. They started the job on Monday and finished it by Tuesday evening. Lots of repair on shifting house and 2 pair of stairs had to be redone. They used the existing bricks and did the best they could on an old house. Would highly recommend them.
Review Date: 02/16/2016 |

Fun with routers part one
Out Of The Box
First Impressions
The router connected right up to my computer and I looked around at the built in administration screens. It looked like they put a lot of work into the user interface but it looked a little flashy for me, and plus it was a little choppy. It seemed perfectly functional, but it was very "flickery". So, I decided to flash it with DD-WRT.
Flashing the firmware of your router is not for the faint of heart. If you make a mistake then you could end up "bricking" the router, meaning that it is no longer a router, and its only value is as a big chunk of plastic. You want to do your homework and make sure you are flashing the right version for your model router.
Here's the DD-WRT Wiki for this router:
DD-WRT Wiki For Asus RT-N16 Router
I downloaded the "mega" install and tried step one in the Wiki, which was to use the browser to flash the firmware. This didn't work. I followed the instructions to put the router into "recovery mode" it kept telling me that the firmware update failed.
So, I downloaded the Asus utility for my router and tried that. It was still complaining that the device was not in "rescue mode." I'd unplug the router, hold the reset button down, and plug it back in. The router gives no indication that it's in recovery mode, so I was having a really hard time.
Two Buttons!
Since I had to replace that router, I have had about half a dozen routers and I've hated them all. It looks like I am good now, though. Hopefully I will retire this router only when it's just too old, and not because I despise it. Time will tell...
If all goes well, there will not be a "Fun With Routers III."

|In Session
March 7 - May 5, 2017
While our representatives had filed a total of 23 bills through the date of my post, I'd taken on the task too early. They still had a month to go to file bills.
Now that the deadline has passed, I took another look at the bills they introduced. In this post, I'll share what I learned.
|Senator Kathleen Passidomo
Senator Passidomo introduced 34 bills and co-sponsored seven. A list with bill titles and links so you can read the ones you're interested in is on her Florida Senate web page. Here's how I categorized them by topic (cs = "co-sponsor"); click a bill number to go directly to its web page:
- Children; families; guardians; public safety - 172, 200, 408, 412, 446, 1016, 1622
- Education, preK–12 – 78 (cs)
- Ethics; elections – 952, 954, 990, 1076
- Health and medical care - 146, 384, 402, 496 (cs), 558, 588, 1406 (cs)
- Insurance - 208, 730, 1038 (cs)
- Law enforcement; self-defense immunity - 150 (cs)
- Legal system; regulated industries - 206, 724, 802, 1158
- Public records exemptions; public meetings - 210, 248 (cs), 478, 1224
- Real estate; construction; development - 204, 318, 398, 660, 716, 744, 1046, 1164
- Taxation -176, 252 (cs)
Only one of Passidomo's bills addresses the issues of major importance to the BCC: SB 408 Highway Safety, which deals with bicycle and pedestrian safety. And none addresses any of the CCPS priorities.
However, she did co-sponsor SB 78 Public School Recess, requiring each district school board to provide students in certain grades with a minimum number of minutes of free-play recess per week and a minimum number of consecutive minutes of free-play recess per day. Collier School Board member Kelly Lichter has advocated for mandatory recess at Board meetings in the past.
|Rep. Byron Donalds
Representative Donalds filed 19 bills and co-sponsored nine. A list with links is on his Florida House web page. Here's how I categorized them:
- Children; families; guardians; public safety - 2173
- Education, preK–12 - 119 (withdrawn), 303 (cs), 591 (cs), 757, 773 (cs), 989, 2187 (cs)
- Health and medical care - 429 (cs), 2581, 2585
- Infrastructure - 2171, 2175, 2383, 3313, 3315, 3515, 3517, 4099
- Law enforcement; self-defense immunity – 245 (cs)
- Legal system; regulated industries - 2583
- Objecting to U.N. Security Council Resolution 2334 (Israeli settlements) - 281 (cs)
- Public records exemptions; public meetings - 351 (cs), 843 (with Rommel)
- Real estate; construction; development - 483
- Taxation - 139 (cs), 289, 965
Two of Donalds' Infrastructure bills would fund specific BCC appropriation requests:
- HB 3313 would provide $1 million to replace eleven "functionally obsolete bridges" east of State Road 29. According to the Gator Canal Bridge Replacement Appropriations Project Request, the bridges are "heavily utilized for agriculture and other commercial traffic, and provide direct and timely access to local residents for first responders."
- HB 3315 would provide $950,000 for the repair or replacement of the Golden Gate City storm water outfall system. According to the Appropriations Project Request, the system is 35 to 45 years old and at the end of its useful life.
His other Infrastructure bills are appropriations requested by other entities in his District: the Hendry County BCC (HB 2171 and HB 4099), Florida SouthWestern State College (HB 2175), UF/IFAS (HB 2383) and the City of LaBelle (HB 3515).
The titles of Donalds' bills related to preK–12 education which are of particular interest to me are:
- HB 119 Interscholastic Extracurricular Activities (withdrawn prior to introduction)
- HB 303 Religious Expression in Public Schools
- HB 591 Maximum Class Size
- HB 757 Voluntary Prekindergarten Education
- HB 773 K–12 Student Assessments
- HB 989 Instructional Materials for K–12 Public Education
Two CCPS priority areas – providing flexibility regarding state-mandated testing, and maintaining the flexibility in current law for schools of choice (i.e. charter schools) under the Class Size Amendment – appear to be the subjects of HB 773 and HB 591, respectively. But after reading the bills, my impression is that neither really aligns with what the District asked for.
Also of interest is Donalds' HB 843 Public Meetings and Records/Meetings Between Two Members of Board or Commission, which he jointly introduced with Representative Rommel. See the Naples Daily News editorial "Donalds' bad bill turns Sunshine into shade," with which I agree, for more on this bill.
|Rep. Bob Rommel
Representative Rommel filed 12 bills and co-sponsored seven. A list with links is here. Here's how I categorized them:
- Health and medical care - 537
- Infrastructure – 3321, 3323, 3325, 3327
- Law enforcement, self-defense immunity - 245 (cs), 249, 305 (cs), 697 (cs)
- Legal system, regulated industries, real estate - 583 (cs), 927, 977, 6021
- Objecting to U.N. Security Council Resolution 2334 (Israeli settlements) - 281 (cs)
- Public records exemptions; public meetings - 243 (cs), 351, 843 (with Donalds), 1079
- Taxation – 263 (cs)
Two of Rommel' Infrastructure bills would fund specific BCC appropriation requests:
- HB 3325 would provide $500,000 to reconstruct and raise the elevation of Goodland Drive (CR 92A) to reduce the frequency and duration of impassibility which occurs due to flooding. According to the Appropriations Request, this is the only land access to the Goodland community.
- HB 3327 would provide $750,000 to replace and upgrade the 40+ year-old Bayshore Gateway Triangle CRA Water Delivery System. According to the Appropriations Request, asbestos cement, cast iron, and ductile pipes will be removed and replaced, and added fire hydrants and increased water pressure will assist the Fire District in protecting residents.
Rommel's two other infrastructure bills (HBs 3321 and 3323) would provide funding for projects requested by the City of Marco Island.
None of Rommel's other bills address other Collier County or CCPS priorities.
|Rep. Carlos Trujillo
Representative Trujillo holds key leadership positions in the House in his final term (due to term limits). He is Chairman of the Appropriations Committee and Alternative Chairman of the Joint Legislative Budget Commission. So I'm not surprised that he hasn't introduced many bills. I am, though, curious about the one bill he DID sponsor: HB 885 Transactions with Foreign Financial Institutions.
This bill requires state-chartered financial institutions that do business with a foreign financial institution owned by a country under U.S. sanctions to, within 5 business days, identify and report the source of every transaction that passes through it to the Florida Office of Financial Regulation, and to certify that the source does not involve any confiscated property "as defined in the Cuban Liberty and Democratic Solidarity Act of 1996." That law, also known as the Helms-Burton Act, strengthens and continues the U.S. embargo against Cuba.
Whose priority is THAT?
Next steps
I'd like to find out if bills have been introduced by other elected officials that address the Collier County and CCPS priorities. I'd also like to look into the special interest groups that have contributed to our legislators' campaigns to try to learn whose priorities their bills might be advancing. And I plan to look at what's been happening in the House Committees and Senate Committees that will be considering bills related to preK–12 education. They began meeting months before Session began, and it will be interesting to see what presentations they've heard and what actions they've taken.
Meanwhile, I hope you will read some of the bills introduced by Collier County's representatives and share your thoughts with them:

When it comes to engaging your visitors to your blog, the one thing that you can use are copywriting formulas. When it comes to ranking your blog well, search engines also look how well you engage your visitors. Engagement is one great characteristic of a successful blog which will result in social proof!
Have you ever left a blog post because you felt it wasn't going to be valuable just after reading the first sentence? I'm guilty as charged! But have you ever asked yourself if the first sentence of your blog posts repel your targeted audience as well? Do you think you can do a better job with keeping your audience on your blog longer? Well in this post I will show you some copywriting formulas that spark your visitors' interest to stay a bit longer on your blog and ultimately build your sales conversions.
"You'll find boredom where there is the absence of a good idea." ~ Earl Nightingale
When you were a kid, didn't you hate to be forced to read something that you had no interest in?
I can remember back in grade school we had to do a book report every other week which I hated with a passion.
That is until I read Tales Of The Fourth Grade Nothing!
Out of all the books I've read, this was the one I remember the most! Why? Well because it started out funny and at the time it was something I could relate to.
Now when you think about it, this is how most of your visitors are like.
They come across so many blogs that may have a great headline, but their introduction to the rest of the post really isn't that intriguing at all to them.
How many times have you came across a blog post that the intro just didn't do it for you?
How about the blog post itself?
I came across some blogs where they had a bunch of great images, but it felt like I wasn't going to get any type of value from them from the get go.
Don't you hate it when that happens?
You feel like you just wasted a few seconds (not to be anal) clicking on their blog.
Don't get me wrong, images can be engaging and give you a visual view of the point you want to get across. I assume you love it when blogs have a bunch of images too.
But also you want to be informative at the same time "decorate" your posts with the value that your visitors can use instantly.
But I digress.
I don't want to talk about writing detailed-oriented blog posts.
I want to share with you the framework of writing detail-oriented blog posts which are copywriting formulas.
Copywriting Formulas To The Rescue
How can you get the attention of your blog audience and keep them for a certain length of time is the question that many bloggers asks.
This is something that I always wanted to get better at, and I have seen some improvements with the changes I've made.
I like to share with you some of the things I've since since the beginning of 2014!
- I write blog posts well over 1,000 words
- I diversify my content with different images, video, and info graphs
- I do internal link of old posts just about on every blog
- This year I set up my post so when a user clicks on a link it opens the page in another window
By doing these four things, I have improve my rankings quite a bit judging from Google Analytics
With Google Analytics there's two metrics that you want to check when it comes to this which are the Bounce Rate and the Average Session Duration
The Bounce Rate basically measures the actions that your visitors do on your blog before leaving and the Average Session Duration measures the average time your visitors stay on your blog.
I have to pat myself on the back for the improvements, but you know what? I want to get better, and I bet you want to get better at keeping your visitors on your blog a little longer.
But as you may already know, it's not only about keeping your visitors on your blog longer.
You also have to add engagement in the equation.
When I read Tales Of The Fourth Grade Nothing back in elementary school, as soon as I read the first page, I couldn't put the book down. I was so engaged in the book that it took me only 3 days to read it.
That was a great feat for me since I really didn't like reading in the first place back then.
When it comes to your readers, you want to give them that same feeling.
You want to get them so engaged, that they actually bookmark it, actually come back and read it again, link back to it, and above all persuade them to become a subscriber or purchase something.
Now when you can do something like that, then this will tell you how much you're growing as a blogger.
But one thing you want to become good at is copywriting, which is also something I'm working on this year.
So what is copywriting exactly?
Copywriting are the words, phrases or sentences you would use to persuade your audience to take some type of action.
Ultimately you want them to purchase something that you promote.
Copywriting writing is definitely a skill set that you want to get better at!
One of the best ways I see fit for this is to learn some of the Copywriting Formulas.
Learning them will give you a great boost over many bloggers.
If you want to get a great head start, then start by learning how to write Engaging Titles for each of your blog posts. This is what you're visitors will first see, so it makes sense to start with this.
8 Copywriting Formulas That Lays Out The Framework For Persuasion
What I now like to do is introduce you to 8 Copywriting Formulas you can use for the intro for your topic or for the whole blog post itself.
1. PAS (Problem Agitate Solution)
When it comes to your blog intro what better way to start your post than with this old school formula to really catch your readers attention!
Some of your visitors may have a problem that's been irking them for a while and they have yet to solve it.
So what do you do?
Start your blog with the problem itself! Let's break it down a bit!
– Problem – Start your blog off with a problem
– Agitate – Use words that will get their emotions going
– Solution – Introduce the solution to their problem
Here's an Example of How you can put this together:
Problem – Don't you hate it when no one visits your blog
Agitate – When this happens you start to feel self conscious about your writing and at the same time you tend to hold back what you really want to say because your confidence is shot.
Solution – What If I told you that there are people who will be able to support you in your efforts who went through the same thing? What if I told you there are specific Facebook groups with these types of people, would you be interested?
Let me tell you that I've had quite a few problems and whenever a blog starts off with this type of intro, it automatically draws me in. This would definitely work with your visitors
2. FAB (Features Advantages Benefits)
This formula would be great if you're introducing a new product or a new idea to your target audience.
Let's break it down
– Features – Introduce the features of new product or idea
– Advantages – You talk about the advantages of product or idea
– Benefits – How would this product or idea benefit in the long-run
Here's a great Example using Commentluv Premium
Features – Commentluv allows you to reward your readers as they leave comments on your blog posts with a link to their last plugin. Also it has an anti spambot plugin called G.A.S.P. and also an anti backlinker feature which allows you to create a policy for your commenters
Advantages – This plugin is well crafted so, unlike other comment system plugins, it allows you to have more control over who you want to comment and how many times they will have to comment before the link to their last post shows up with their comment.
Benefits – You can use this plugin in order to create an incentive for all of your visitors to come to your blog. How? Once they surpass the number of comments through your policy, their links to their last post shows up. This is a win/win for your blog to get more traffic and at the same time they get their blogs exposed to others.
3. ACCA (Awareness Comprehension Conviction Action)
Sometimes your visitors aren't aware of a problem that they're currently having, and if they are, they're not aware of the consequence of that problem.
Sometimes it's up to you to make them aware of the problem or how serious it could be!
Here's a break down
– Awareness – Make the problem known to your visitors
– Comprehension – Let them know how serious the problem is and the solution
– Conviction – Conjure up the desire for them to use your solution
– Action – Do a Call To Action
Here's a great example
Awareness – Did you know that if you're blogging everyday then it would be hard for you to do all the other necessary action steps to grow a blog?
Comprehensive – You won't have time to do what is necessary like build social proof, build traffic, get conversions, etc. You want to set up goals and a schedule for your blog so you can do all that is necessities to grow your blog and eventually your business.
Conviction – You want to take the action steps so you can benefit from your blog. Most people don't know what steps to take, but with my 15 day program I will help you lay out a strong foundation to show you what's necessary and what is not.
Action – Don't waste time doing the same monotonous routine that's getting you no where. Take action now and sign up for my 15 day program.
4. The 4 C's (Clear Concise Compelling Credible)
When it comes to getting your point across there must be some understanding, engagement and trust. That's where the 4 C's Come in!
Here's a break down of the 4 C's
– Clear – Make sure your audience understands the goal of the post
– Concise – Convey your post to your readers in the fewest possible words
– Compelling – Make sure your content is interesting and engaging
– Credible – Give examples of why your readers should trust you
I've seen quite a few bloggers that used this formula to show their audience who they are, what they promote, and why they should trust them by showing testimonials and other ways.
Here is my example of how to use the 4 C's
Clear – When it comes to running an online business, you have to make sure you have a functioning sales funnel. In this post, I will talk about what is a sales funnel, why it's important to have one, and the system that I leverage which helps me create sales funnels.
Concise – When using a sales funnel, you must have an opt in form, landing page, sales page, and an autoresponder to build relationships with your leads.
Compelling – It's frustrating when you're getting some traffic, but yet you're not converting that traffic. Many of you feel like there must be something missing but yet you either don't know the answer or don't know how to go about getting the answer.
Credible – There are many people within the blogging/internet marketing niche that are using the same exact system that I am, such as fill in the blank and fill in the blank
5. AIDA (Attention Interest Desire Action)
This is a really popular one among the advertising industry!
You've more than likely came across many of these types of ads as you were driving.
These are the type of ads where you tell your kids, friends, or whoever is on the passenger side to write down the number so you can call up later.
So let's break this down some more
– Attention – You grab your visitors attention using Power Words (Emotional Words)
– Interest – Talk about your offer that correlates with their needs and wants
– Desire – Talk about how your offer will benefit them
– Action – Do a CTA (Call To Action)
Here's a great Example of AIDA
Attention – If you have a business, you publish a post everyday, you're getting traffic but yet you're not getting any subscribers, then you are wasting your time! In this case there is something within your blog that's missing, and I want to point you in the right direction
Interest – That right direction is to have good opt in forms that converts your traffic into subscribers.
Desire – The opt in forms I recommend to you will increase your opt in rates by at least 15%.
Subscribers is a good start in growing your business. With opt in forms you will be able to attract visitors already interested in your content and have them sign up to your email list.
Once they do, you can start growing a strong rapport with them. When they learn the trust you, you will end up with some subscribers who will be willing to buy from you.
Action – If this is what you want, then sign up and download my Ebook on the 7 Steps to create an attractive Opt In Form to Attract Subscribers
6. Star-Story-Solution
If you like telling stories, then this is a great formula for you. Out of all the copywriting formulas you can uniquely start it off with a main character, work on the emotions of your readers with the story, and have a happy ending with a solution to the character's problem.
Here's the break down of this formula
– Star – Main Character of the story
– Story – Talk about the problems of the main character your readers can relate to
– Solution – Share the solution with your audience to compel them to purchase
Here is my example of how this works
Star – Jane Crawley is a mother of 3 who started blogging about a year ago to supplement her current income
Story – Being a mother of 3 with a full time job, she doesn't have a lot of time to promote each blog post that she writes. On top of that, she's unable to engage with the very people within her niche group as well as comment and share their posts
Solution – Luckily one of the members reached out to her to show her some automated tools she could use to promote her posts. These tools helps her promote each post she publishes all day everyday, which will give her more time to engage with her follow group members.
Telling stories is one of my favorites and many of your visitors and other bloggers are attracted to storytelling like this since it resonates well with their own situations!
7. PPPP (Picture Promise Prove Push)
We all have dreams. Some of us put them on dream boards while others of us write our dreams down in a journal. But here's the thing…
There still a lot of people who do these things that have yet to figure out how to materialize their dreams. So what can you do?
Point them in the direction where they can make this possible. This is the benefit of using the PPPP formula!
Here's the break down…
– Picture – Use descriptive words that will pique their interests
– Promise – Describe how your product or service will help them
– Prove – Give testimonials or show proof on how it helped you and/or other people
– Push – Do a CTA (Call To Action)
Here's a great example of what I've seen many network marketing companies do
Picture – Can you imagine relaxing on the sandy beaches of Hawaii, sipping on pina coladas without a care in the world. You don't have to worry about going back to your job, your bills are paid, and on top of that you have more time to spend with the people you love
Promise – With XYZ Company we will show you how you can make this all possible. With our supportive leadership who have many years of experience, you'll find that they will point you in the right direction in order for you to make your dreams come true
Prove – We have over 10,000 representatives working with us and we like to share some of their success stories with you. (Success Stories Video)
Push – If you want more information on XYZ Company go ahead and sign up with your email here and we will send you more information about the company, the comp plan, the products, and how you can get started!
8. The 5 Basic Objections
Last but not least are The 5 Basic Objections
Although this applies to everyone, having been in network marketing I have experienced a lot of objections. Yes, I mean A LOT!!!
I'm not saying that network marketing is a bad business model, I was just very naive as to approaching people about my business opportunity.
So If you're in network marketing, what if you can actually answer the very objections before people give them to you?
That would definitely be a great start, right?
Well there are 5 basic Objections that people will give you when you approach them!
If you're in network marketing let me know if any of these sounds familiar to you!
1. I don't have a lot of time to do this
2. I really don't have any use for it.
3. I really don't have enough money right now.
4. I don't believe you
5. Does this really work?
Where to apply this where it seems fit?
You can, for example, perfectly apply this to a niche site. For those of you that have more than one blog where you sell specific products, services, or exposing your business opportunities then this is the way to go.
You want to make sure that the you start it off with an engaging brief intro that get's them hooked into your blog using these 5 objections, then go into detail of why your offer would be a great fit for them.
Keep in mind that these are people who are seriously looking for something, and if they're on your site, then obviously they hope that your provide that very thing. I won't give you an example for this one, but I thought I just throw this one in.
In Conclusion
From my research these copywriting formulas are the ones that really caught my eye. For the longest time I didn't even know they existed, but once I discovered them it took me back to the book Tales Of The Fourth Grade Nothing when I was in elementary school.
Using Copywriting Formulas like these can really lay out a great persuasion framework of what the topic of your blog post will be about. Your ultimate goal with copywriting formulas is for your audience to eventually purchase something.
And I notice with the products and services I've bought in the past, it was a smooth transition into the transaction. I see using copywriting formulas as complimentary in building rapport with your target audience which indubitably will make the sales go smoother!
Now It's Your Turn
There are many more copywriting formulas you can use to persuade your audience. As for blogging, the one I like most for a blog intro is PAS which I believe prepares the users the best for the rest of the blog post.
I also like the Star-Story-Solution copywriting formula since I like to tell brief stories only blog. It starts out with a character, or story for that matter, the problem that the character has, and the solution. I would like to use this for both a blog intro and the whole blog itself.
As far as the whole blog itself I like to incorporate AIDA more into my blog posts. If I'm selling something I like making my audience aware of a problem, the solution I have and the benefits of that solution. Once this piques their interest I can make that smooth transition by doing a Call To Action at the end of the post.
So over to you! Which Copywriting Formulas do you like most from this list? Why do you like them? Are you already implementing them in your blog posts? Are you using any other types of copywriting formulas in your blogs? Have you seen any positive results as oppose to before using them?
Please share your comments below and share this post with your friends. I look forward to read them!

The survivor I'd like to introduce to all of you for February is Lynn Tolson, author of Beyond the Tears: A True Survivors Story.
A true story, Beyond the Tears begins with the suicide attempt of an abused and addicted twenty-five-year-old woman. In the aftermath, she commits to counseling to recover from anxiety and depression. The author engages the reader in the therapy sessions, where the young woman reveals dysfunctional family relationships, including mental illness, domestic violence, and sexual abuse. The reader not only views the horrors that caused the author's hopeless condition, but also experiences the wisdom that lead to health and happiness. Due to the therapeutic process, the woman discovers a path to love and the value of life. By sharing the problems and solutions discussed in counseling, the author provides a message of hope.
Lynn has also started Project for TEARS: Telling Everyone About Rape & Suicide; which:
• Comforts victims by sharing my story
• Confronts violence by breaking the silence
• Challenges society via information and action
Lynn Tolson accomplishes her mission through her presence on the internet, with blog talk radio interviews and interactive book discussions, as well as live presentations.
How You Can Help Grow the TEARS:
Gift for TEARS: defray Lynn's personal costs for public awareness, advocacy activities, and community service
Fund all TEARS: provide for Lynn's private time/energy spent in confidential correspondence with victims/survivors
Save for TEARS: support the research/resource development for Lynn's future products, including the Artbook for TEARS
