Bath Life Awards: Winners!
The day of the Bath Life Awards dawned bright and sunny. Everyone in the office was excited, we were lucky enough to be finalists in the creative category and with the whole team attending the awards ceremony, it promised to be a brilliant night.
A champagne reception was followed by a delicious three-course dinner courtesy of Searcys. With the champagne flowing and the chocolate tart sweetening everyone's tooth, it was time for the most exciting part of the evening – the awards!
The creative category was one of the last awards to be announced and the competition was both diverse and impressive. The whole team waited with baited breath.
And the winner is… Ready!
Our co-founders Jake and Shane collected the trophy, which – together with our euphoric mood – stayed with us through interviews, drinks, well-wishing, more drinks and the brilliant after party at Sub 13. We partied until the early hours of the morning, and the mood in the office this morning is still joyous if slightly queasy! Bacon baguettes and coffees were needed all round.
We were so honoured to receive this award, and we would like to congratulate all the other winners and finalists. We would also like to thank the sponsors, especially Bluefin Insurance who sponsored the creative category.

At the time of publication, Calaveras County was in the final planning stages for building a new Law and Justice Center. This will include an expanded jail—from 65 to 240 beds—as well as new facilities for the Sheriff Department and the courts.
The County is seeking locally-based construction companies to work on the project. Also, with time, the County will be seeking additional qualified persons to staff the new facilities.

June 14 (UPI) -- Six Degrees of Separation is closing on Broadway Sunday.
The revival of John Guare's drama, which stars Allison Janney, John Benjamin Hickey and Corey Hawkins, was intended to play on Broadway for 15 weeks, but is instead dropping the curtain nearly a month early.
No reason was given for the quick closure for the play, which opened in April.
"Inspired by a true story, this critically acclaimed play follows the trail of a mysterious young con man who insinuates himself into the lives of a wealthy New York couple, claiming he's the son of actor Sidney Poitier," a synopsis explains. "After a shocking surprise, the couple tries to piece together the connections that brought him into their world."
Our final performance will be this Sunday, June 18. Join us for our final week on Broadway: https://t.co/ENZI7R6wps https://t.co/PTUkFsBGXY— SIX DEGREES Broadway (@SixDegreesBway) June 13, 2017

WordPress plugins can be excellent tools for improving your WordPress website. From security to content presentation, there are plugins to help you do just about anything you can think of. Not all of the plugins out there are worth installing on your website, but when you find a plugin you really like you don't want to lose track of it.
The WPCore plugin makes keeping track of your favorite plugins really easy. You simply need to install the WPCore plugin on your WordPress website, and create a collection of your favorite plugins. You can create multiple collections for different uses, and easily import those collections into new WordPress installs, or other WordPress websites you may have.
As a website designer, WPCore makes it really simple for me to quickly install all of the plugins I commonly use when building a website.
Another really cool feature of the WPCore plugin is the ability to bulk install plugins. This is probably my favorite feature of the plugin. I don't normally use a ton of plugins when building a website, but every little bit of time saved helps!
The free version of the WPCore plugin allows you to store up to 5 collections with up to 18 plugins in each collection. The free version will only allow you to add plugins from the wordpress.org repository, but for most people this shouldn't be an issue. The premium version of the plugin allows up to 100 collections of up to 100 plugins per collection, and you can add custom plugins. Premium users will also receive plugin update notifications for their collections.
If you're on the hunt for plugin collections, you can browse hundreds of public collections created by members on the WPCore website. Here you'll find all kinds of collections for different uses. No matter what your project, there's probably a collection that will help you get started.

Many times I'm that person picking a book because the cover is designed beautifully. Many times it works well and the book turns out wonderfully. This time I picked out Own Your Life: Living with Deep Intention, Bold Faith, and Generous Love to review c/o Tyndale House Publishers and I'm wishing the pretty cover didn't lure me in. Very rarely do I read a book and dislike it, but I'm 189 pages in and I can't bring myself to even finish the book.
What's Own Your Life About?
The back cover says: "God has made you with the capacity to live courageously, to have great faith, and to become a person of influence."
I agree with that statement whole heartedly. God wants me to make an impact for His Kingdom. He has a purpose and a plan for my life that He has specifically designed for me. It's an amazing realization, one that challenges me to grow every day.
For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. -Jeremiah 29:11
Full of Scripture, Own Your Life is full of lots of truth but had several areas where I didn't like it at all.
it's so fluffy I'm going to die!
This book was full of unneeded, sometimes misleading, fluff. My husband will be the first to remind me that there is power in beautiful literature-but there is only power when it points back to the story-not the word count. Lots of beautiful phrases, slightly awkward reminiscences, cluttered the bits of truth.
who is really in control?
Part 3– Owning Your Life by Giving God Control: What Only He Can Do
Giving God control in my life has always been a struggle. Ask my husband…I'm type A to a T. The heading of this part gave me hope that Clarkson would finally leave the "girl power…you can do this!" talk and begin to elaborate on how owning one's life can only be done by giving it up entirely to God.
final thoughts
This book is filled with scripture, but still it seems to be missing the point. This book is missing the fact that you can't entirely own your life. You have to give up the control to God. You have to let the Holy Spirit work in you.
Are there good quotes in the book? By all means yes, for example this one: "Jesus is not just a thought to be understood, a verse to be memorized, but a living, breathing, vibrant, loving, personal God who lives and breathes among us." Some may love this book, but it just wasn't for me and I always want to give honest reviews and be transparent with my readers.
Because the cover is beautifully designed the book gets one out of five ruby-red slippers.
what to read instead?

Seller's Pre-listing Inspections
Eventually your buyers are going to conduct an inspection. You may as well know what they are going to find by getting there first. Having an inspection performed ahead of time helps in many other ways:
It allows you to see your home through the eyes of a critical third-party.
It helps you to price your home realistically.
It permits you to make repairs ahead of time so that ...
Defects won't become negotiating stumbling blocks later.
There is no delay in obtaining the Use and Occupancy permit.
You have the time to get reasonably priced contractors or make the repairs yourself, if qualified.
It may encourage the buyer to waive the inspection contingency.
It may alert you of items of immediate personal concern, such as radon gas or active termite infestation.
It may relieve prospect's concerns and suspicions.
It reduces your liability by adding professional supporting documentation to your disclosure statement.
Alerting you to immediate safety issues before agents and visitors tour your home.
Copies of the inspection report along with receipts for any repairs should be made available to potential buyers.

Church of the Cross United Methodist Church was originally planted as a mission church of the former Broadway Methodist Church on April 19th, 1959, when a caravan of vehicles, and around 100 people, left the parking lot of Broadway in Toledo's Old South End and drove to the Glendale School, which was located across the street from our present church, and began meeting in the school building. The church met in Glendale School until 1968, and was originally known as the Glendale extension of the Broadway Methodist Church.
We still have a number of charter members who made that trip who are a part of the church family. Several years ago we celebrated the 50th anniversary of the Church, and we give God thanks for those pioneers and visionaries who laid the groundwork for Church of the Cross to legally come into existence on June 1st, 1962. The first worship service in the original section of the building occurred in early 1968. Major building additions were also completed in both 1985 and 2001-2002.
We look forward to the next 50 years, believing that God will continue to bless our efforts to positively impact our community for Jesus Christ. We would invite you to come and see for yourself the great things that are happening here at Church of the Cross.

In the spring 2013 I took a course in scientific illustration offered through the School of Art and Art History at the University of Florida. I was lucky to have an amazing instructor, my dear friend Dr. Camila Pizano. At first I thought I couldn't do it but I changed my mind as soon as I started. At the end of the semester I thought I did a pretty good job but I'll let you guys make your own judgements!
These butterflies were part of my final project which also comprised a couple of trees. I plan to make a collage to show a cohesive story and also post the written essay I submitted. I hope you like it. More illustrations to come soon.

Fort Lauderdale — Although the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show is known for its floating mansions, otherwise known as superyachts, there are plenty of people looking for smaller boats they can fish from and live on for a few days at a time.
Several boat companies that make center consoles are introducing express models at the show, which opened Thursday at six sites and runs through Monday.
From the helm back, the express models are made for fishing. The forward sections of the boats feature cabins with amenities such as galleys, heads, TVs and air conditioning. Among the boats at the Broward County Convention Center is Regulator's new 30 Express, Pursuit's OS 315 Offshore and Pro-Line's 35 Express.
According to Alex Leva of Hydra-Sports, which has its 3500VX express at the Convention Center, express boats are for people who don't want to own a small sportfisherman that costs $600,000 to $700,000, but they want to fish and boat in comfort.
"This one is $309,000 loaded," Leva said of the 3500VX. "It sleeps six and you can take it out of the water and put it on a trailer. It'll run with those [sportfishermen] in the rough water and it's got a 400-mile range."
Leva took the boat from Sarasota across the Gulf of Mexico to Venice, La., where he fished around oil rigs for yellowfin tuna. In the evening, rather than run back to Venice, he'd tie up the boat to a rig and spend the night.
The 3500VX is 34 feet, 8 inches long with a beam of 11-6. It holds 372 gallons of gas, and with twin Yamaha 350-horsepower four-stroke outboards it'll do 49 mph. The deck has three fish boxes and there's a 50-gallon baitwell in the transom. There's also a shower hose with hot and cold water in the transom so divers can rinse off.

Each day LT Profits Sports seeks an overlay side that has a better chance of cashing than its spread, offering long term value. Here is their Side Value Play for Saturday.
Two division rivals open up play Saturday night in the first game of the NBA Playoffs when the seventh seeded Dallas Mavericks (50-32, 23-18 away) pay a visit to the second seeded Houston Rockets (56-26, 30-11 home) in Game 1 from the Toyota Center in Houston, TX at 9:35 ET in a game televised nationally on ESPN.
The point spread at Pinnacle Sports has Dallas as a moderate underdog for this contest with the current line at +5 with odds of -107.
All Hail the Southwest Division!
It is not surprising that one of the first round matchups pits two teams from the Southwest Division, as that division sent all five teams to the NBA Playoffs when the last place Pelicans secured a bid on the final day of the season by beating their division mates from San Antonio!
Every game was meaningful for the Rockets as they did not secure the second seed and division title until winning their last three games of the regular season, where just one loss in any of those three games could have meant finishing as low as the sixth seed. Houston cemented the two seed and won the Southwest by being the winning NBA pick 117-91 over the Utah Jazz in the season finale.
The Mavericks meanwhile have not really played a pressurized game in a while as it was inevitable for the last several weeks that they would finish as the seven-seed. Now that can work either way as they may be a bit rusty as a result or they may be rejuvenated and step up their game. We expect the latter as Dallas is a veteran team with a very good coach in Rick Carlisle that was able to rest his veterans at times down the stretch.
Injuries Could Hurt Rockets?
The Rockets won three of the four regular season meeting between these teams but every game was close and the two wins here in Houston came by just three and five points respectively. However, the Rockets were relatively healthy then and that is not the case now with Patrick Beverley and Donatas Montiejunas both out for the season.
Granted the Rockets have an MVP candidate in James Harden, who just missed winning the NBA scoring title with his 27.4 points per game to Russell Westbrook of the Thunder. Still, because of the Houston injuries, Joey Dorsey and Jason Terry should get extended minutes, with Dorsey being a non-factor offensively and Terry not scaring opposing defenses either at this advanced stage of his career.
That leaves Terrance Jones and Trevor Ariza as the other more reliable scoring options besides "The Beard," with Ariza also getting a bit long in the tooth, and center Dwight Howard has been spotty offensively since returning from his knee injury. Houston needs the "good" Howard to show up to give Harden some support, and that is far from a given these days.
Veterans Have Done it Before
The Mavericks are a tough team to defend with scorers at every position, as evidenced by ranking third in the NBA in scoring with 105.2 points per game and fifth in field goal percentage at 46.3 percent. Granted Dirk Nowitzki is not what he once was and Rajon Rondo has clashed with Carlisle since being acquired by Dallas from the Celtics in mid-season, but Nowitzki played much better late in the year and both have shined in past NBA Playoffs.
As mentioned, the Mavericks played the Rockets tough in every game this season and if Nowitzki and Rondo can elevate their games for the playoffs as they have oftentimes done in the past, then the Mavericks may be able to avoid the first-round elimination many have predicted for them this season.
Of course one major concern is a Dallas defense ranked 25th in the NBA in points against at 102.3 per game, but that can be covered up by Carlisle in this series by usually needing to guard only three Rockets at a time, especially when Dorsey is in the game for Houston.
Parsons Back for Dallas
While the Rockets are dealing with injuries, the Mavericks will now be at full strength with former Rocket Chandler Parsons returning for these playoffs after missing the last six games of the season with a knee injury. Parsons finished third on the team in scoring with his 15.7 points per game while also adding 4.9 rebounds and 2.4 assists per contest.
At the very least look for Dallas to take this game right down to the wire like it did in every game vs. Houston this season even in defeat, with an outright upset in Game 1 far from an impossibility on Saturday.

Studies show that kids, particularly teens, are eco-savvy these days. Unlike most of their parents, this generation of kids has grown up with a consciousness about the environment and our threat upon it. I reported two years ago that in many households children are taking the lead in making their homes more eco-friendly and their families more environmentally conscious. The "Care About America" Survey, which canvassed the country seeking the input of children aged 6 to 11, showed that ninety-percent of children questioned believed that taking care of the environment was important. According to the survey, 82% of the kids said that they recycle. Eighty-three percent reported that they turn off the lights when they leave a room; 84% said that they turn off the tap when they're brushing their teeth; and 65% said that they pack their lunches in reusable containers.
In addition, research shows that adolescents who are actively concerned about the environment, or "Green Teens," are a particularly sophisticated and communicative group. A study conducted by JupiterResearch found that along with their commitment to environmental issues, Green Teens are influential peer-communicators and more likely to participate in social media and contribute to online communities. Of the general population of teens surveyed, 53% were environmentally-focused. And among that 53%, their environmental unease ranged from "worried" to "highly concerned."
Since young environmentalists are so active and committed, it seems fitting to take a look at what they are up to in the way of making a difference. Here are a few young folks who are taking the matter of pollution into their own hands:
Plastic Bags Be Gone!
The E.P.A's blog recently featured the eCoppel Club. This high school group is dedicated to eliminating plastic bags in their town. After they compiled their own research and found that less than 10% of their community used cloth bags instead of plastic, the eCoppel Club endeavored to reduce plastic bags use by distributing 5000 free cloth bags to the community. According to the E.P.A. blog, the club members went door-to-door and gave presentations at various activities to raise money to purchase the cloth bags. And with the support of local businesses, they set a goal at initially reducing plastic bag usage by 8%. But this is only the beginning for this group. They have their sights on getting plastic bags banned in their city. And then they want to influence other to do the same nationwide…maybe even worldwide!
Click HERE for 10 Reasons Why Single-Use Plastic Bags Are Big Time Pollutants.
Children Saving Animals In the Gulf
April 20th, 2011 was the one year anniversary of the BP Gulf oil spill, the worst oil spill in petroleum industry history. The National Wildlife Federation's website is currently sharing some of the many ways children came to the aid of wildlife adversely affected by conditions in the Gulf post-spill. One such shining example is Olivia of Atlanta, Georgia. After hearing about the oil spill in class, the third grader came up with the idea for Flip Flop Friday, where students agree to donate at least $1 to the National Wildlife Federation for the opportunity to wear flip-flops to school for the one day. In order to promote the fundraising event, Olivia made posters, gave speeches during the school announcements, and educated fellow students about the spill and the impact on animals. Olivia's goal of $500 turned into more than $900 from the students, which was then matched by a corporation to bring a total of $1,840.

You Call it Lunch Trash. I Call It Compost!
Fifth grader, Michael Lang, of Winsor, Colorado has taken the lead in getting his school to recycle compostable waste left over from during the lunch period. As a result, Grandview Elementary School is the first to compost in their county. Michael hopes the idea catches on. He told the local paper, "I think the world will be doing great if other people catch on with this." And you can imagine the enormous impact composting the ongoing and considerable waste generated during school lunch periods will have on the community. As Cornell University Composting points out, the beauty of composting in schools is that it not only helps keep waste out of landfills, which will reduce methane gas emissions, but it also provides a "way of instilling in children a sense of environmental stewardship." With composting, kids learn lessons about reducing, reusing, and recycling their solid waste, AND they can experience the entire cycle which turns "worthless and gross" food discards into something that is "pleasant to handle and is good for the soil."
The impact from just one school can be impressive. One upstate New York school that initiated a similar school composting program, found that in just 6 months almost 30 tons of waste (ordinarily headed for the landfill) was diverted to a local composting program where local horticulture and agriculture benefitted. The compost was also used for other purposes such as erosion control. 30 TONS!
One of the benefits of composting is that it helps manage the solid waste stream and the resulting production of greenhouse gas emissions from landfills. Though co-composting facilities have emission problems of their own, since composting is a source of GHGs, volatile organic compounds (VOCs)/ reactive organic gases (ROG), particulate matter, and ammonia (NH3), facilities that follow E.P.A. specifications can achieve the benefits of composting without pollution.
Click HERE to learn how to start a composting program in your school.
In the fight for clean air and environmental responsibility, kids and teens are at the forefront– showing us that making an impact only takes a desire and the gumption to take action! Congratulations to you all…and thank you!

I think he was better at stand up than on the daily show. He was able to do topics like Zambia and South Africa, which are rarely topics of comedy and make fun of them but not in a way that would get him in trouble (kinda the same sphere that Russell Peters can walk in. He can make fun of different nationalities because A: He's a minority. and B: He actually has knowledge of the topics. He's making fun from knowledge rather than ignorance.)
That said I don't think he's a great fit for a show about American politics. John Stewart was funny but also clever and passionate. You got the feeling that he was doing the show not as a job but because he believed in what he said.
With Trevor Noah, it just feels like more of a job to him. While I think its quite admirable that he's taking on the topic of US politics as US politics are truly world politics these days, he doesn't feel as invested as Stewart.
He has a very tricky slope to walk. While Americans are very happy to bash their own country they often take exception when a foreigner does it. As Jim Jeffries says, Americans don't like being criticized in a foreign accent. Trust me, I've learnt through experience. I've had a few topics I've changed my mind about posting here just because it might be seen as condescending to lecture you on your own country.
So I do cut Noah some slack but I did prefer Stewart.

SEC Proposal On Fund Fees May Be Halted
Agency Considers Retreat on Plan To Impose Redemption Expenses As Barrier to Rapid Trading
The SEC, facing opposition, is considering retreating from a proposal that was part of its effort to curb improper rapid trading of mutual funds, people familiar with the matter say.
The Securities and Exchange Commission is weighing other options, including whether mutual funds should be allowed to impose a voluntary but standard penalty for short-term trading. In response to revelations that fund companies allowed favored investors to trade rapidly in their funds at the expense of long-term shareholders, the SEC proposed...

She described to me a process where she would burn a stick of sage and waft it through all four corners of each room of her house while calling in fresh new energy. Going to her home always felt like visiting a safe sanctuary (and she had four kids living in the house!). This simple … [Read more...]

Prenatal Yoga
While I was pregnant with my daughter 5 years ago, yoga was one of the things that brought my body comfort from the various aches and pains that emerged. Through the breath work and meditative part of the practice I was able to prepare my body for the experience of birth and then the months of recovery afterwards. Things didn't turn out as I had wanted them to with my birth … [Read more...]
Yoga Nidra
This week I had a bit of an epiphany while cooking dinner, as you do. I don't know whether I can really call it that, but it was definitely a moment of clarity. Before I get to the epiphany, I will back track a little. After I finished university, I went backpacking to Australia to make full use of my opportunity of a one year working/holiday visa. While there, as fate … [Read more...]

Author: Kennedy Ryan
Series: Soul #3
Release Date: August 15, 2016
Rating: 5/5
ARC was graciously given. This doesn't affect my opinion of the book in any way. First two books, My Soul to Keep and Down to My Soul, must be read prior to Refrain.
Add to Goodreads
People dream of a love that runs deep. So deep it feels like it's always been with you, just waiting for the person who'll own your heart and soul forever. So few ever find it, but for Rhyson Gray and Kai Pearson, happily ever after was only the beginning…
One of the biggest rock stars in the world and one of the brightest rising stars make a life together. Sometimes it's glamour-filled days and blissed out nights, but it's mostly staying true in the too-bright glare of the spotlight. It's long stretches where the road is lonely and the work is hard. It's living in a love that's the safest place you know even while danger lurks at your door.
Book 3 of The Soul series is an emotionally-charged epic conclusion that had to be told and should not be missed for fans of this series and this couple!
- Amazon (Free on Kindle Unlimited)
HOLY. FUCKING. SHITBALLS. I think Kennedy has just successfully emotional-punched me in the eyeball with her another out of this world creation. And I regret nothing. Tears be damned.
Kai Pearson knew she had found her one true forever love with rockstar Rhyson Gray. But there's so much more to that one great true love entails than just cloud nine-level of elation and contentment behind the glitz and glamour. And when love is this real, this unique, this glorious, Kai and Rhys are going to come hell or high water to preserve this fearless commitment they have for each other.
Kennedy did not just write words, she breathed into them like how the air touches everything and how you can feel it everywhere even in just a breeze. How it can make you shiver, how it can bring you to your knees. It will wrap you completely and you will not have it any other way.
To say that the book was flawlessly written would be toning it down. It's poetic, poignant and truly one of a kind. It's a gift. A God's gift.
Just like Rhys and Kai. Just like this series. Maybe even more than that.
Kennedy did not just write Rhys and Kai, she breathed into them, made them work so hard so they could achieve the level of grandeur they both had now. They were shaped up to perfection with the struggles they faced head-on on the first two books that transported me back to when they became friends first above all else. And with every flip of the page, my love for this emotionally-packed series grew stronger and stronger. Refrain has never failed to mesmerize me. I was absolutely enthralled by the raw emotions seeping through, overflowing even, the words, the narration, their voices. The same powerful words that kept me up all night and had me crying ugly tears the next morning because the feelings Rhys and Kai have for each other was very real, all-consuming and beyond intense. It tugged every heartstring I have with consistent precision that left me so elated I had no idea what to do with myself. Rhys and Kai did not just stand out individually, they shine so brightly together as a couple. Even the love scenes were quintessentially and carefully crafted to balance the potency of words and the storyline altogether. The series was wrapped up so magnificently well, it's insane how obsessed I've become with it. And it's so annoying that Kennedy has always proved me wrong each I time I read a new book by her and I say it's my favorite. Again. Stop it, you amazing thing.
Refrain has owned me heart, mind and soul and sealed the deal to make the Soul series a solid top favorite.
If you loved My Soul to Keep and Down to My Soul, this shouldn't be missed. And if you haven't started this epic series, I suggest you scoop up all of them now quickly because they're just $0.99 each but only this release week! Don't miss your chance to get acquainted with Kennedy's poetic prowess and one of most unforgettable love stories that is of Rhys and Kai's!

I recently attended at an auction and unlike many current auctions, there was no one willing to make an opening bid so the auctioneer opened with a 'vendor bid.'
I heard the person next to me ask "what does that mean?"
Real estate laws vary from state to state on the specifics, however with the outlawing of dummy bidding (friends or family bidding up the price at an auction when they don't really intend to purchase the property) any bid made by the vendor (the seller) must be made through the auctioneer, and should be said to be a vendor bid.
Essentially, a vendor is legally allowed to make a bid on the property to help move the auction along -either to get things started or if the auction stalls – and of course these bids should not be used once the reserve price is reached and the property is "on the market."
If it is not identified by the auctioneer as a vendor bid then it becomes what is really a 'dummy bid', which is now illegal.
Different in Different States
In Victoria and Queensland there is no limit to the number of vendor bids allowed while in NSW only one bid can be made on behalf of the seller.
Legislation also requires the auctioneer to announce prior to the auction
Fair Trading NSW stipulates:
"The seller's bid by the auctioneer cannot be used unless notice of the right to bid is notified in the conditions of sale, which must be clearly displayed and be available for inspection before the auction commences.
When the seller's bid is made by the auctioneer, the auctioneer must state that it is a 'vendor bid' "
Similarly the Victorian Sale of Land Act notes that the auctioneer to clearly identify the vendor bid by saying "vendor bid"
There are often arguments about should vendor bids be allowed and how many should be allowed.
For me it is part of the street theatre of auctions, you need to know how to play the game.
If I'm serious about buying a property at auction and I judge that there is a strong crowd and multiple bidders, in today's hot market I usually start the auction with by being the first to bid and bidding strongly – just to intimidate my opposition.
On the other hand if I sense there are few other potential bidders I keep quiet and hope the auction gets passed in on a vendor bid.
How I bought 2 properties at Auction
Interestingly over the last few weeks I bought two properties at auction for clients – and used the 2 different techniques:
- The first property, despite being in a top street in great suburb had a dismal turnout at the auction. No one bid other than a vendor's bid.
Eventually it was passed in and we negotiated a great price (considering the current strength of the market and comparable sales in the street) for our client.
- The second property had a huge crowd and the agent told me he had 5 genuine buyers there.
I bid strongly with a knockout first bid unsettling all but one hardy buyer, but we snared the property for our client using strong bidding techniques (including making my last bid as firm and loud as my first bid) and the psychology of looking him directly in the eye and intimidating him.
I later learned that he was a subscriber to my blog, knew who I was and understood how the team at Metropole helps property investors, and didn't bother competing with us.
Pity he hadn't engaged Metropole's services

ref="http://www.cityam.com/company/barclays">Barclays said its investment bank boss Bob Diamond will take over as chief executive of the bank in two weeks, some three months earlier than planned.
Diamond is taking over from John Varley, who is stepping down after six years as chief executive. The bank announced the change in September, when it said the handover would occur at the end of March.
"Over the last three months, John and Bob have made good progress in completing the transition. John's view, with which I and the board agree, is that we are now ready to effect the hand-over," Barclays chairman Marcus Agius said in a statement.

The cheapskate's infosecurity toolbox
As we all know, not everyone is fortunate enough to have a blank check for security-related procurement and implementation. As security executives, we are often called upon to pull a rabbit out of the hat on short notice and make security issues disappear. Making the best of your allocated budget may at times call for primary or supplementary solutions that are freely available. This strategy cuts procurement time completely out of the loop as well. Here's a list of security tools available on the Web for free that you should add to your toolbox.

The World according to Seed
I recently posted a small blog "The Extinction of Monsanto Begins!" regarding the successful global "March against Monsanto" held on May 25 2013. There is a video in the blog titled The World According to Monsanto, and if you have not yet seen it then get acquainted with GMO's and the Corporation/Governments who are 'legally' poisoning, controlling, owning, using and abusing natural ecological life, the DNA that makes us who we are, and lying about it.. They are in-effect altering consciousness, genetically manipulating life as we know it, and they are enforcing this regime through global Agenda's like Agenda 21, the 'Green Revolution', 'Food sovereignty', Sustainability, War on Terror, Free Trade, UN, One World Government, martial law et.a;lNow feast your reality TV brain of awareness and activism on this new Film 'Seeds Of Death' A Gary Null Production ~ "The leaders of Big Agriculture–Monsanto, DuPont, Syngenta–are determined that world's populations remain ignorant about the serious health and environmental risks of genetically modified crops and industrial agriculture. Deep layers of deception and corruption underlie both the science favoring GMOs and the corporations and governments supporting them.
This award-winning documentary, Seeds of Death, exposes the lies about GMOs and pulls back the curtains to witness our planet's future if Big Agriculture's new green revolution becomes our dominant food supply."
Monsanto has upped the anti to protect it's genocidal criminal racket since the release of documentaries, information, direct protest action etc highlighting the corporations background, practices, alliances, backers, Ecocide Agenda. "… Monsanto, by hiring a mercenary army and former CIA field agents, is deadly serious about protecting its deadly products. Yet, this contract further discredits the company. The public can now paint an even bleaker picture of the firm that brought us Agent Orange, PCBs, rBST, DDT, aspartame and, now, hit men." http://www.naturalnews.com. Not to mention Ecocide, a plethora of diseases, genetically deformed babies, untold pain and suffering to humanity and ecology, yes Monsanto is quite the criminal of deception…
Guess who's behind the worlds largest, most secretive, expensive Seed Vault in the world? Monsanto is, so is Bill Gates, the Rockefeller's and other billionaire corporations who have profit/planet, control/freedom as their guiding foundations.. Have a look over this must see article ~ "Doomsday Seed Vault" in the Arctic". "Who uses such a seed bank in the first place? Plant breeders and researchers are the major users of gene banks. Today's largest plant breeders are Monsanto, DuPont, Syngenta and Dow Chemical, the global plant-patenting GMO giants. Since early in 2007 Monsanto holds world patent rights together with the United States Government for plant so-called 'Terminator' or Genetic Use Restriction Technology (GURT). Terminator is an ominous technology by which a patented commercial seed commits 'suicide' after one harvest. Control by private seed companies is total. Such control and power over the food chain has never before in the history of mankind existed." http://farmwars.info/. Could it be that these beings are putting terminator genes in the Chemtrails, why not? Evidence already exists all around the world now where forests are dying, organic growers are seeing reduced growth and diversity, bees are being exterminated………………………….
Yes people a bleak situation indeed, but it's bleaker with the blinkers on, it's participation and cooperation with injustice and inhumane acts that perpetuates this time-loop of suffering and low level consciousness..
Join ~ Eradicating Ecocide
Must read ~ The Monsanto Monster
Now the World according to Seed is quite different to the world according to Monsanto and Gates… It's quite contrary actually, in diametric opposition, seed is infinite intelligence and abundance, seed is life, freedom, love, care, diversity.. Having said that we might see a link to the reasons why these Corporations and Criminal minds and bloodlines have zoned in on owning/controlling seeds, just as they are enslaving humans.. Liberated cosmic humans are like fertile seeds, capable of divine and mystical feats, desiring co-creation, collaboration, harmony, balance, diversity.. But like Gates who according to the history of computing, took the free and liberated open source world of software, hardware & internet and worked feverishly to control and own it, hence the Microsoft empire began.. And like a seed, Gates has grown and rather than becoming a benevolent flowering being of light and love moving to the liberation and harmony of humanity and ecology, these beings have gone the total opposite path.. Just like the genetics of a Pumpkin seed growing into a Pumpkin, the genetics of Bill Gates and his co-horts might well be the Reptilian Pumpkin.
These energies, shall we call them, are participating in 'Ecocide', or 'Ecological Genocide', a forced manipulation of forces to quicken the already horrific and fast paced Extinction of Life as we know it on Planet Gaia. "In the 24 hours since this time yesterday, over 200,000 acres of rainforest have been destroyed in our world. Fully 13 million tons of toxic chemicals have been released into our environment. Over 45,000 people have died from starvation, 38,000 of them children. And more than 130 plant and aanimal species have been driven to extinction by the actions of humans. And all this just since yesterday. " ~ Shelby… Now I'm not sure if these stats or the image here is correct/truth and how can they be, I'm assuming they are close to the mark, and quite possibly under the mark if we care to be honest.. Just take a look around, where you stand, the air your breathing in, the area your now in once was pristine, it was once an ecological garden of life in diversity, whole, natural, alive, fresh, healthy, beautiful, peaceful, abundant, happy, filled with families, cultures, legends.. Now what do you see in most parts of the world, like cancerous cells devouring and feeding off what once was beautiful and natural, we see Ecocide…
Somehow this all has to come to a head, somehow like Cancerous Growths and Parasitic Entities there is one that survives, thrives and moves on, will that be Humanity, HumanKind? I feel very very soon we will see the head, light is shining on it right now, awareness and collective action is steering the Ark of Light, Gaia and those humans with kind hearts and awareness to the beautiful paradise and destiny we dream and know as home. It's a long walk to find another island like Earth, proliferated with such diverse and magical life, this is our home and we have some serious family, tribe, community, house and garden chores ahead of us.
