Five ways to get more results out of your Wedding Professionals
*Note : This article was originally written for Wedding show producers, but there are key takeaways that can be used for Associations, wedding magazines and wedding show producers. I have worked with producers, magazines and associations and can share that these techniques work when used well.
Wedding professionals have one of the lowest barriers to entry in business. Entering a wedding business can be as low as borrow some equipment and putting up a GoDaddy tonight website and poof- you're a wedding business (obviously in the eyes of an unknown client perhaps, not in reality).
Because we have a high turnover and a large number of hobbyists, trying to convince many of these folks to do the things that professionals do can be difficult as the attitude of DIY marketing and post in Facebook groups (you know….the wedding professional only groups) can spread and the allure of not spending money or effort on marketing and advertising becomes more accepted. Here are some ideas that will help you and your team in gaining more ground.
- Re-sell through Re-sults. No news here. Selling someone who you have already proven the worth of your show should be a slam dunk, however, because our industry is laden with hobbyists, we need to do all we possibly can to insure they have every tool available to help them find that value to where they will never ever want to miss your show. When they find results through you, they will never want to miss out.
- Follow a process– Process and systems help you find your ultimate success. Simple items such as using a CRM program (I use Insightly, but SalesForce is pretty awesome too) to track your progress and time your responses can be invaluable. Other less used processes include a system for follow through which is slanted towards quality control. When I speak about quality control, I am speaking of exceeding their expectations. The key here is to first know what their expectations are.
- Social Proof/ Push their buttons. Everyone is isolated to a degree. Everyone also thinks more of their competition than they probably should (there is a term I use; They let them live rent free in their mind) By using testimonials and sharing them with other vendors, it can push their competition button. This technique has to be used wisely and properly or it can backfire as you don't want to scare them off.
- Fire your prospects (bottom 10%). In every market there are what have been referred to as the "bottom feeders". These are the folks who want to gain a professional's paycheck, but offer up a novice approach. We sometimes hold up hope for those who say the right things but rarely act that way. It may be time to cut some loose from your records and your thoughts and start fishing in a more prosperous pond. By letting go of those who will probably not buy or perhaps take way too much time to close (where you could have closed 5 others with the same efforts) you will open your eyes to new and different opportunities.
- Measurements. There is no secret about how measuring will allow us to gain a better result, but what are you measuring. A statistic came across my desk many years back that said most full time sales people only spent 5 hours a week of actual selling time. That's it. 5 hours….. Imagine if that time were measured and organized and that other non revenue tasks were made that could be dropped or curtailed so that the face time were doubled. Seems simple, but finding the right measurements is a crucial task just as much as the discipline to consistently work on those measurements (hint: this is where I try to employ gamification to bring a much better result)
WedPro+ is designed to help those who work with those who work with wedding couples. This includes Wedding and Event Associations, Magazines, Wedding shows and more. If you are trying to help Wedding professionals through marketing, networking or products, you know that these professionals are harder to reach and require a different approach. I can help, so please connect.

SOURCE: Diet Doc Weight Loss
July 27, 2016 01:00 ET
BOISE, ID--(Marketwired - July 27, 2016) - Carbohydrates are the body's main energy source. As one eats any meal which is rich in carbs, the body produces glucose and insulin. Glucose, instead of existing body fat, is then converted into energy. The Ketogenic Diet or keto diet, refers to a state of "ketosis" where the body no longer depends on carbohydrates for energy and instead searches for previously stored fat to burn for fuel. Ketogenic dieters must drastically reduce carbohydrates and instead opt for high-fat and high to moderate protein based meals. The keto diet has been highly studied and popularized due to its successful use by many public figures who have demonstrated dramatic weight loss results within short periods of time.
Losing excess fat with methods such as the keto diet also reduces the risks for several cardiovascular, inflammatory and degenerative diseases. However, new keto dieters should be aware that a diet which is higher in protein may negatively impact those prone to kidney disease. Medical weight loss program -- Diet Doc, suggests that a ketogenic diet plan be supervised in order to ensure that the body is receiving the proper nutrition and vitamins such as B-12 in order to minimize any negative effects that can result as the body adapts to a high-fat, high-protein diet.
Diet Doc understands the potential financial challenges that may result from dietary changes. Given its popularity, many who wish to begin a keto diet find that solely purchasing foods which are high in fat and protein tend to find it more expensive than that of the average high-carb diet. Due to this realization, Diet Doc offers an affordable ketogenic diet plan that is divided into phases along with the added benefit of access to qualified physicians and experts who guide dieters through the specifics and monitor progress.
New Diet Doc patients can call or easily and effortlessly visit https://www.dietdoc.com to complete an initial comprehensive, yet simple, health questionnaire and schedule an immediate personal, no-cost consultation. Diet Doc Physicians all received specialized training in nutritional science and fast weight loss. Diet Doc reviews each patient's health history to create a personalized diet plan geared for fast weight loss, or that addresses life-long issues causing weight loss to slow down or stop. Nutritionists work personally with each patient and use their own algorithm to craft meal and snack plans that are compatible with each patient's age, gender, activity level, food preferences, nutritional needs and medical conditions. They combine these state of the art diet plans with pure, prescription diet products that enable their patients to resist the temptation to reach for sugary snacks, eliminate fatigue and curb the appetite. Over 97% of Diet Doc patients report incredible weight loss results with the majority losing 20 or more pounds per month.
At Diet Doc, all patients gain unlimited access to the best minds in the business. Their staff of doctors, nurses, nutritionists and coaches are available 6 days per week to answer questions, offer suggestions, address concerns and lend their professional guidance and support. Because of this, more and more people are turning to Diet Doc for their weight management needs. Diet plans are tailored to be specific to the needs of those of any age, gender, shape or size and for those who are struggling to lose that final 10-20 pounds to those who must lose 100 pounds or more. Call today to request a private, confidential, no-cost online consultation.

Prior to the Friday night series opener between the Minnesota Twins and Boston Red Sox, Boston's David Ortiz was honored by his former team.
The Twins organization invited a number of his former teammates from time playing for Minnesota to take part in a ceremony prior to the start of the game.
Former players who took part included Torii Hunter, Corey Koskie, LaTroy Hawkins, Eddie Guardado and Ron Gardenhire their former manager.
Ortiz started his career in Minnesota playing from 1997 to 2002, prior to moving to Boston and becoming a champion of three World Series, a fan favorite and potential member of the Hall of Fame.
Following the ceremony, Ortiz said it meant a great deal seeing former teammates. He added that players do not get together much, but will more often once he is retired following this season.
The final visit for Ortiz to Minnesota contained some uneasiness with it, since the club released him following the 2002 season. Terry Ryan the general manager for Minnesota lamented the team's loss for years, claiming it was one of the worst decisions he has made in baseball.
A video was shown during the pregame ceremony of highlights when Ortiz played, including dancing in the dugout and the players donated $10,000 in the name of Ortiz to the late Twins player Kirby Puckett's scholarship fund.
Ortiz was presented by the players with a custom peanut butter jar, which was homage to an old prank in the clubhouse in which the underwear of Ortiz was lined with Skippy peanut butter by Koskie.
Many wonder how things would have been if Ortiz had stayed in Minnesota, but instead he spent his Thursday day off with the Red Sox walking in downtown Minneapolis in anonymity for a slugger with over 500 home runs during his career.
When Ortiz arrived in Boston his career took off, in a large part because he was not one of manager Tom Kelly's favorite players and was hounded to always move runners into scoring position hitting the opposite way instead of using his power to pull the ball, which was his strength.
However, Ortiz insists there are no hard feelings for Kelly or the Twins organization.
Ortiz told reporters that things take place for a reason and he has always appreciated that the Twins organization gave him the opportunity to enter the big leagues and to experience what it was all about.
He only had kind words to say about the entire organization following the ceremony that honored him on Friday night.

Malaysian companies say flexible working increases productivity
PHOTO - William Willems, regional vice-president for Regus, Australia, New Zealand and Southeast Asia.
According to the latest worldwide study from flexible work solutions provider Regus, 87 percent of Malaysian companies said that flexi-working has increased both productivity and revenue.
Speaking on 15 February 2012, Regus regional vice-president, Australia, New Zeeland and Southeast Asia, William Willems said the study of 16,000 senior business managers around the world showed that Malaysian companies have welcomed flexible working.
"[The study shows that] 87 percent of Malaysian companies report that their productivity has increased as a result of flexible working practices, and 87 percent link increasing revenues directly to flexi-working," said Willems. "It is believed to be the first time that independent research evidence has validated the causal connection between flexible working (time and/or place of work) and improved productivity/revenue generation.
"Respondents also report feeling more energised and motivated thanks to flexible working (82 percent), perhaps indicating why they are able to become more productive and generate more revenue," he said. "Flexible working, by improving worker morale and health, is therefore also taking on the important role of talent retention tool, providing businesses with a valuable way of rewarding and attracting resources."
Willems said that other findings from Malaysian respondents showed that 75 percent declare that they work more on the move than they used to. "In addition, 79 percent of respondents say that workers in their company feel healthier thanks to flexible working; while 89 percent of respondents expect a surge in the number of people that go part-time at some point in their career path."
"Globally, small businesses have embraced flexible working more readily than large with 80 percent of workers saying that their company works more flexibly than it used to compared with 68 percent of large business workers," he said.
More part-time workers
When compared to the increase of productivity from flexible working in the region, Malaysia is second only to Vietnam (89 percent of respondents) and ahead of Hong Kong (75 percent), Philippines (68 percent), Singapore (67 percent), and Indonesia (65 percent).
"Technology and network improvements as well as worker demands for a better work/life balance have driven flexible working to become the norm rather than the exception," said Willems. "This survey confirms the business case for flexible working revealing that global businesses see increased productivity and greater revenue generation as directly linked to flexible working practices."
"In addition to these benefits, staff report feeling healthier, more energised and more motivated, which in turn means that staff are happier in their jobs, more loyal and less likely to leave," he said. "As workforce expectations and demands change, part-time arrangements are therefore becoming more common not only for freelancers, working mums and the working elderly, but also generation Y employees going straight into multi-job employment."

Are you on opana or just short acting hydromorphone? Talk to your dr. Long acting meds work better for chronic pain then short acting ones. Let your dr know that they aren't working.

Please pardon my dust as I am trying to reorganize my writing life. As part of that effort, I am trying to restart my blogs. Here goes. . . .
This blog is about the experience of having a child with special needs, and what we do with our son to prepare him for the real world. I also like to write here about local events and other things that are family-friendly, that any family could attend, in addition to reviewing local and regional attractions from the perspective of a parent of a child with special needs.
Now, my readers may remember that my son has autism. We have to keep a lot of things in mind when we go anywhere, any time. So I try and include information that parents of children and teens with autism (or other kids with special needs) would want to know.
By the way, I would like to let everyone know that I may compile some of these experiences together into some kind of self-published booklet of some kind — I'm thinking of a travel book — and make it available to parents of kids with special needs. What do you think?
So, please send me feedback on this idea, if you would. Thank you in advance!
One other thing. . . As I am a writer (and artist/crafter), I have multiple projects going on all the time. One of my current works in progress is my novel, which I have been working on, off and on, for several years. My main character has ADHD. I wanted that from the beginning. I always wanted that to be a large part of her character, and something that would make things, well. . . less than easy for her. I guess I'm mentioning this because I am working on it so much these days. And I keep thinking about how to write about the experience of disability — keeping it real, as they say — and not make it seem that terrible, either. Because I do want to show the ability. Because people with special needs are more than their disability. They do have skills. They have abilities that are not always noticed. And maybe they should be.

Join us for a screening of Gillo Pontecorvo's 1966 classic The Battle of Algiers.
The Battle of Algiers tells the story of the life-and-death struggle between the French colonial government of Algeria and the Algerian Liberation Front, the FLN. Shot in newsreel-style black and white and starring many real members of the FLN, the film is striking in its documentary style; so much so that a disclaimer was added on its original US release that it contained 'not one foot' of documentary material. One of the most powerful political films of all time, The Battle of Algiers is passionate – yet impartial – record of Algeria's fight for independence.
The evening will be hosted by Gareth Evans, film curator at the Whitechapel Gallery.

Simple Classic Hotel In The Heart of City
Nice hotel to stay. However, they don't have lift so those with heavy luggage take note. Located at the Penang's most famous mural - the Armenian Street. The Armenian Street Fair is on every Saturday evening - all cars have to vacated the area during the fair which is till 10.30pm.

Excellent location!
It is located right at the street art area and close to the Clan Jetty, so the bus terminal as well. The room is clean and tidy. The staff is friendly and helpful. It was a right choice and I was happy during my stay at George Town.
Armenian Suite, Penang
OK for short trip.
Overall is clean and comfort. Good location where is easy to move around. Famous mural paintings just steps away. A lot of good food and hipster cafes are around too. I stayed at the room with balcony. The stay is okie. Good enough for short trip staying. Try to avoid staying at this room. It capture heat during afternoon. Air-condition is weak. Wifi is not strong. Praying alarm is quite annoying because it just too close to the mosque.

Asus EAH6850 Direct CU Overclock Edition Radeon HD 6850
Video Card Review
The AMD HD6850 was released just over a month ago and has been warmly received by critics and the public. We have already looked at boards from Sapphire, XFX, Powercolor and HIS and today the Asus EAH6850 Direct CU Overclock Edition is next in line for a thorough workout.
Like all of the best graphics cards, the Asus EAH6850 showcases a customised cooler and is supplied in a modest pre overclocked state. Asus are also keen to focus on the 'Voltage Tweak' aspects of the card, to highlight the enhanced overclocking potential. With reduced thermal states and enhanced acoustics this looks to be well worth adding to our portfolio of 6800 series reviews... KitGuru

Here are some of the most common questions, and some helpful information to guide you along the way. Remember, your particular legal issue is unique, and requires consultation with any attorney before proceeding. Use these responses as a starting point before hiring an attorney.
- How do I go about getting an order for paternity and getting child support? In paternity cases in Wayne County, the parties have an opportunity to have a genetic test. If the paternity is established with this DNA test, child support numbers can be established using the Michigan Child Support Formula. The Michigan Child Support Formula uses both parties' income in the child support calculation. If the case case is for a Michigan divorce or custody issue, Michigan child support can be established with Ex-Parte orders or by filing a motion with the Wayne County Clerks's Office. The two parties may also come to an agreement regarding Michigan child support that may use the Michigan Child Support Formula or deviate to a higher or lower number.
- So can you clarify, does the Wayne County Friend of the Court have to use the child support formula? Yes, the Wayne County Friend of the Court or the judge will use the formula unless there is a reason for the deviation such as the number is "unjust or inappropriate". Any reason for deviation must be stated on the record in Court.
- So when does child support start in Wayne County? Michigan child support in Wayne County is effective on the commencement date stated in the court order. There may also be child support arrears that will be owed to the payee.
- So if my child turns 18, can I still get child support in Michigan? In Michigan, child support may continue past age 18 only if certain conditions are met. You must notify the Wayne County Friend of the Court with written documentation that your child will continue to be enrolled a full-time student past his/her 18th birthday.
- My kid is now 18 and not in high school, why am I still paying child support in Wayne County? You might still owe arrearages, which do not stop because the child reaches majority. You will have to keep paying until you no longer have a Michigan child support obligation.
- What if the other parent isn't letting me see my kid, do I need to keep paying child support in Michigan?
Yes. Michigan parenting time and support are separate parts of a court order. Each has enforcement
procedures to be used when that part of the order is disobeyed.
- What if the other parent isn't paying child support to me? What can I do? You should contact the Wayne County Friend of the Court if the amount owed is more than a month's payment. You should contact an attorney who can help you with an enforcement action.
- Can I pay my Michigan child support directly? No, not unless your court order is modified to allow direct payment. If you fail to pay through the MISDU, the designated agency, you will not receive credit for the payment.
- Can I change my Michigan child support? Yes, in Michigan you can request a child support modification every 36 months or when there is a change in circumstances such as employment and income changes. You will need to file a motion with the Wayne County Clerk's Office to change the support order.

Syndicated columnist Charles Krauthammer said Wednesday on "Special Report with Bret Baier" that as both Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton have expressed concerns about the Trans-Pacific Partnership and trade deals more generally, our allies have a lot to lose come 2017.
"If the Republicans are now abandoning free trade, for the first time ever in our memory, we're having a presidential campaign where neither side is for free trade," Krauthammer said, adding, "Which I think bodes really badly for our allies abroad, the Australians, the Canadians, the Mexicans."
Krauthammer went on to describe how a more narrow trade policy could impact allies like our neighbors to the south.
"Imagine the Mexicans looking at the cancellation of NAFTA, what effect it would have on them," he said, concluding, "[Our allies] always assumed the United States would be the one country that would rise above the most narrow, economic nationalism, and save the idea of free trade. That's not going to be true come January 2017. And that will change the whole international landscape."

Compton rap king YG probably made this election cycle's defining anthem with "FDT (Fuck Donald Trump)," but he's not letting that be the only thing he's doing to get out the vote. YG is also teaming up with Yeastie Boys Bagels, a Los Angeles bagel truck, to hand out free bagels in YG's Compton hometown. The bagels are red because YG is a Blood, though the bagels are available to all, regardless of gang affiliation. Whatever works? Here's the flier:

"Getting a free gang-themed bagel from YG" is probably not the best reason to vote today, but if it helps you summon the will to drag yourself to a polling place, it's all for the best.

MIAMI - JANUARY 18: Dr. Olveen Carrasquillo, Chief of General Internal Medicine University of Miami, wears a stethoscope as he conducts a checkup on Juan Gonzalez at the University of Miami's Miller School of Medicine, as the United States House Republicans in Washington, DC were poised to approve a bill repealing the health care law that last year was signed into law overhauling the U.S. health care system on January 18, 2011 in Miami, Florida. (Photo by Joe Raedle/Getty Images)
ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) - A new report finds a growing number of health care jobs in New York state.
The report released by the University at Albany says health care employment in New York increased by 24 percent between 2000 and 2014. The school's Center for Health Workforce Studies says employment in home health care more than doubled during that time, while jobs in ambulatory care grew by 30 percent.
The center says health care accounts for about 12 percent of total employment in the state and continues to grow faster than all other sectors.
Despite the job growth, the center reports that worker retention can be a problem and that patients in some parts of the state still lack access to health care services.

text: Kimbei Kusakabe arrived in Yokohama in 1856 and became Felice Beato's pupil, hand-coloring his photographs until 1863. In 1881, he opens his own studio and promptly becomes one of the most prosperous and influential photographers of his generation, rivaling the Western artists that had until then dominated the market. With his colored portraits, everyday scenes and landscapes, he is the purveyor of souvenir images for Westerners visiting Japan. Kimbei Kusakabe depicted men in serene social and economic contexts while women - his favorite subjects - were represented in romantic portraits as well as domestic and cultural scenes. The young mysterious and submissive geisha was particularly appealing to Western audiences and the Japanese photographer helped establish their visual identity as icons of feminine beauty and social etiquette. Kimbei Kusakabe's rare images are a rich resource for the comprehension of a Japan that has now disappeared.

Update: The Cobell plaintiffs on Monday filed a motion to withdraw the petition of certiorari, a spokesperson said, in anticipation of Congressional authorization of the settlement. At a private conference tomorrow, the U.S. Supreme Court will consider a petition in Cobell v. Salazar, the Indian trust fund lawsuit. The D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals in July 2009 ruled that the Interior Department must account for billions of dollars of Indian trust funds. However, the court said the government can take as a long as it wants and can impose limits on the effort if Congress doesn't provide enough funds to conduct a broad historical accounting. The court also said Judge James Robertson, who retired at the beginning of this month, should not have put a dollar figure on the government's failure to account. He had said the plaintiffs were owed $455.6 million. The plaintiffs filed a petition for certiorari that will be reviewed by the justices tomorrow. It asks the high court to determine whether the government should be required to account for "all funds" in the Indian trust accounts regardless of Congressional restrictions. The Obama administration opposes review of the case. Attorneys said the government should be allowed to proceed with the accounting based on the cost of the project and how long it might take. Part of the reason the plaintiffs and the administration set a deadline in the $3.4 billion settlement to the case was to avoid further litigation. Congress has so far failed to authorize the settlement so the Supreme Court petition went ahead. The justices are expected to announce whether they will take the case early next week. SCOTUSBlog has listed the petition as one to watch. Get the Story:

Candyland Beads
I actually found this seller because she "hearted" my shop and I was super excited to "heart" her in return! She sells the sweetest little polymer clay beads. Her beads include characters of all the sesame street gang (including my daughters absolute favorite, elmo), mickey mouse, and lots of other sweet characters and things:) The one item in her shop that really got me excited was the cupcake beads that match perfectly with the line of clothes at Gymboree! Now I am going to have to make Belle (my daughter) a necklace to match her new outfit. Anyway, Candyland Beads is new to etsy so stop by and say hi and welcome!

Valentines Day stuff!
I am super excited about my latest addition to my jewelry collection made just for that wonderful holliday... Valentines Day! I created these sweethearts by hand and it took much longer than I expected. First I had to glue two hearts together (they werent as thick as I wanted), then I waited... then I cut out paper hearts, glued them on and waited... then I printed words, tore them out, glued them on and waited... then I had Blake (my husband) drill holes in them while I waited... then I decopodged them all and waited... and then I made the ribbon necklaces (many steps there as well) and put the hearts on the ribbon! It was a lot of fun but a lot of time too:) I am very happy with how they turned out and I hope you are too!

Okay, these are adorable! KnottyBabyWear's shop is full of cute and unique items like the crocheted baby boots below. There are also a TON of baby leg warmers that look very well made and soft for baby:) I had some of these for my daughter when she was smaller and I paid a lot more than what this shop is charging. I am definitely going to be getting some for her very soon (maybe two for this price!) So stop by and take a look at the huge selection of leg warmers and sweet little boots and say hi:)

I am amazed how many patients spend more time shopping for a TV or washing machine than they spend selecting a plastic surgeon. Selecting your surgeon should be the single most important thing that you can do to assure an optimal result.
You should have a checklist of essential things to look for in a plastic surgeon:
- Be a Fellow of the Royal Australasian College Of Surgeons (RACS), the only college recognised by the Australian Medical Council that can train surgeons in Australia
- Be a Member of the Australasian Society Of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS)and the Australian Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS)
- Has hospital privileges to do breast augmentation at an accredited hospital or day surgery facility
- Subspecialises in cosmetic surgery
- Superspecialises in breast augmentation
- Recommended by a knowledgeable friend or doctor
- Curriculum vitae documents scientific presentations and publications
There are also a few less reliable points that I would like to address when choosing a plastic surgeon. Advertisements and media coverage are paid for by the plastic surgeon and does not necessarily reflect how knowledgeable, competent or experienced they are. Your local doctor may not be in the know of who is best to do breast augmentation and may not have an interest in cosmetic surgery to find out either. Some just refer to surgeons who are their friends from medical school, are in the local area and thus convenient or who may be paid for by the surgeon to refer you. Never listen to recommendations from anyone who is an "armchair expert" or who has no in-depth knowledge of breast augmentation. At the end of the day, look at the plastic surgeon's results to see how good they are. Be very careful with "glamour shots" that can deceive because of lighting, patient positioning and camera angle. They may even be "photoshopped" or airbrushed. Some plastic surgeons may have models as patients that they have operated on their face but not their breasts (which was performed by another surgeon) and use them for advertising breast augmentation.
There are a further number of "red flags" that you should take notice of. These are:
- Completed training in a specialty other than plastic surgery
- Certified in an unrelated college
- Not a member of ASAPS and ASPS
- No hospital privileges
- If you are given false or misleading information- claims that are too good to be true.
- Unwilling to provide you answers to questions regarding credentials or curriculum vitae
- When the office staff are not courteous, knowledgeable or don't spend enough time with you and don't tell you what you need to know. Beware of staff who give you all fluff, but no substance and don't offer to send you any information. Always insist that the price be broken down into the following categories: surgeon fees, anaesthetist fees, costs of implants, operating room fees, hospital stay fees, laboratory fees, mammogram or ultrasound fees, any other fees. Ask how long the prices on the quote last for. Remember, there is no such thing as bargain surgery. Have you ever seen top-quality surgery for bargain price? How is the bargain surgeon able to offer such a good price? When visiting the plastic surgeons rooms, look around and take notice of the little things. It should be a quiet, comfortable and modern, an atmosphere that reflects the good taste of the plastic surgeon. The organisation, function and flow of the plastic surgeon's office is a reflection of the surgeon's personality and habits. Think about it. If the office looks messy and unclean, doesn't it reflect badly on the surgeon who accepts this scenario? Most of the time, you will recognise a good plastic surgeon without the surgeon having to tell you. If they have integrity, are caring and thorough, then this will definitely contribute to what you will get in the operating room and after.
Question: What factors do you consider important when choosing a plastic surgeon to perform a breast augmentation? You can leave a comment below.

Google's October 29th Android event was washed out by Hurricane Sandy, but the company still decided to press on anyway, unleashing a flurry of Nexus announcements earlier this week which included the launch of the heavily rumored Nexus 4. Unlike last year's Nexus which hit the U.S. in December, the Nexus 4 will be coming stateside next month and it will be doing battle with several heavyweight devices including the Samsung Galaxy Note 2.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 2 is Samsung's latest phablet and one of the most anticipated devices of the year. And while it boasts some advantages over the Nexus 4, which we detailed in our 6 Ways the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 Beats the Nexus 4, the Nexus 4 returns the favor in several areas.
Read: 6 Ways the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 Beats the Nexus 4.
Like the Galaxy Note 2, the Nexus 4 isn't a perfect device. However, there are definitely some ways that it trumps the Galaxy Note 2, one of its top contenders. And just about all of them come outside of the scope of hardware.
The Nexus 4 and Galaxy Note 2 are both hardware beasts. Both feature exquisite HD displays, quad-core processors, and decent enough cameras. But where the Nexus 4 shines is where the Nexus devices have always shined, its software.
Let's take a look at six ways the Nexus 4 beats the Samsung Galaxy Note 2.
One of the first things you'll notice about the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 is its steep price tag, $299.99 on every carrier but T-Mobile which charges $370 on-contract for the device. And one of the first things you'll notice about the Nexus 4 is its extremely cheap price tag, especially for the unlocked models.
T-Mobile will be offering up the Nexus 4 on its HSPA+ 42 network in November for $199.99 on-contract. That's much cheaper than the Galaxy Note 2 on T-Mobile and much cheaper than the Galaxy Note 2 in general.
But where the Nexus 4 really shines is its off-contract pricing. Google has dipped extremely low this time around and for $299, customers can snag a 8GB Nexus 4 and for just $50 more, an unlocked 16GB Nexus 4.
That's a bargain for those that don't want to deal with contracts, don't want to spend a lot of money, don't care about 4G LTE, and are content using the HSPA+ networks of either T-Mobile of AT&T.
Vanilla Android
Price isn't the only place that the Nexus 4 shines either. The Nexus 4 will, unlike most other smartphones including the Galaxy Note 2, will be coming with a pure vanilla version of Android 4.2 Jelly Bean. That means it will offer a pure Google experience, something that won't be found on the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 which has Samsung's TouchWiz fingerprints all over it.
If you want Android in its purest form, without any crapware from carriers, the Nexus is the only way to go for that. And as someone who owns a Samsung Galaxy Nexus, it would be hard to ever convince me to get a non-Vanilla Android smartphone again.
Quicker Updates
As it's a Nexus device, the Nexus 4 will be getting quicker than normal updates courtesy of Google. The unlocked versions of the Nexus 4 will likely be among the first to receive major Android updates and will also be treated to quick bug fixes for any issues that may arise. It's unclear how T-Mobile's version will operate but we assume that it won't pose the same kind of interference that Verizon did with the Galaxy Nexus.
Either way, the Nexus 4 for T-Mobile will also get its updates long before the Galaxy Note 2 gets its upgrade.
Speaking of the Galaxy Note 2, it, like many other Android phones in the U.S., will unfortunately be at the mercy of American carriers when it comes to upgrades. U.S. carriers are notoriously slow to get their phones updated with bug fix updates and major Android upgrades.
The Galaxy Note 2 also has the pleasure of being a unique device in that it features different software and a larger display than other devices. This means that its updates could take even longer to roll out. Just look at the original Samsung Galaxy Note which took forever to get Android 4.0 and is still without Android 4.1 Jelly Bean.
Those that want quick updates and lots of bug fixing will want to look at the Nexus 4.
Android 4.2 Out of Box
With the launch of the Nexus 4 came the anticipated announcement of Android 4.2, the latest version of Jelly Bean which looks to improve upon Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, the operating system that will be on the Samsung Galaxy Note 2.
The Nexus 4 will have Android 4.2 Jelly Bean and all of its features, which can be seen in the video below, when it arrives in November. That means users will have access to the new Photo Sphere, gesture enhanced keyboard, new Quick Settings, Daydream and a whole lot more.
Samsung Galaxy Note 2 owners, on the other hand, will likely be waiting well into 2013 before the software upgrade arrives. Samsung has not even said when Android 4.2 will hit any of its devices so its safe to assume that there will be a lengthy wait.
While the Samsung Galaxy Note 2's display is great for watching content, it means that the device itself is absolutely enormous. Specifically, the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 is 151.1 x 80.5 x 9.4mm thin with a weight of 6.35 oz which is equal to 180 grams.
While fairly thin, that's extremely large and heavy for a smartphone. Those that had issues gripping the original Galaxy Note with one hand will likely run into the same problem here with the Galaxy Note 2.
The Nexus 4 is smaller, thinner and lighter than the Galaxy Note 2 which means that it will be easier to hold and much easier to put into one's pocket. The Nexus 4 is 133.9 x 68.7 x 9.1 mm thin and weighs just 139 grams.
Built-In Wireless Charging
Lastly, unlike the Samsung Galaxy Note 2, the Nexus 4 will come with built-in wireless charging, of the Qi standard. Google, at some point, will be releasing a Wireless Charging Orb companion for the Nexus 4 which will allow the Nexus 4 to wirelessly charge while it sits in Daydream mode and shows off photos from one's Gallery or news from Google Currents.
And it will so without the use of any sort of cords, or third-party attachments.
Users should also be able to purchase a wireless charger like the Energizer Wireless charger to use with the Nexus 4.

Ask anyone in financial planning, and one aspect that they will always cover has to do with what happens after a person passes away. This is because financial planning doesn't just end with a person's life. There's no question that a person should plan for their entire life's expenses, including retirement. But people generally don't live entirely alone. They have spouses, family members, children, and further generations as time goes by. Even middle-aged folks have a life partner, spouse, or children who depend on their ability to generate income every year. This is particularly relevant in single-income households. So estate planning and having a will is just as much an integral part of financial planning as is earning more income and investing wisely.
However, the will and estate planning side of things is predominantly dictated by the law and legal requirements, not financial instruments. The first of which is the probate process. This is where the court decides how a person's estate (their assets, property and liabilities) will be distributed after death. The court recognizes that people leave instructions which is in the form of a will and other estate planning tools. However, where things are ambiguous or unplanned altogether, then the court will decide the disposition, which isn't always in the best interest of one's family or those left behind.
To avoid this problem above, the best approach is to plan ahead and put in place the tools needed to ensure that one's estate goes where it needs to go when the person passes away. This should apply either in an accident, unforeseen event or simply in old age, irregardless of the circumstances. And different tools have different effects. For example, a will can lay out instructions, but the court still approves the final will and its execution. A trust, on the other hand, can move property privately from an estate to a beneficiary, and the court probate process does not get involved. Both deal with property left behind, but in different ways with different benefits.
For those who want to get started with estate planning or just need a will to be updated in the Greater Houston area, the person to call is Jack Mixa. His offices regularly handle and prepare dozens of wills and estate planning needs on a regular basis. That experience can identify loopholes and critical issues for specific family needs, which is why Mr. Mixa's experience is so beneficial. Contact his offices today to find out more.
