Label Holders For Wood Drawers – Even if you frequently keep up with house decor trends, you can find yourself considering your perfectly fine space and think, " This needs a little sprucing up…" You can update your kitchen and bath cabinets effortlessly in one little step-updating drawer knobs. It is like adding a new piece of jewellery into a mainstay in your wardrobe-it can deliver just a little jazz or it can complement the layout that is already there. Stop in at your house improvement store or surf the world wide web and you may be overwhelmed. It may be best to have an idea of what look you'd love to get with your brand new cabinet hardware. 1 way to whittle down it would be to think about the substances used for your knobs.
Ceramic is a popular choice-it's an artist's medium, which means that your choice can give you small works of art to improve your home. If you want a clean-lined, geometric look for your drawer knobs, then it is possible to discover easy mushroom-style drawer knobs, or you could choose tiny spheres that look like gumballs. But if you would like a vibrant, festive option that pops, ceramic knobs give you plenty to pick from. If they are hand-finished, you may discover that each one is a little bit different.
But in case you're searching for art, then that identity functions in your favor. Since ceramics lend themselves into different contours, you have got lots of choices if you're searching for something whimsical a very small ear, nose, or lips for just a little sass in the master bath, little pumpkins, and baseballs for your kids' bathroom, and pink "stone"- encrusted versions of this dresser in your little princess' bedroom. Antique reproduction drawer pulls showed in prosperity with when shabby chic decor took off a decade ago.
If you would like to paint a tired dresser white and include a set of green glass hexagon drawer knobs, you'll have a home made bureau worthy of an antique store. Insert a set of fluted glass drawer knobs into a built-in cabinet, and it can look as great as the day the cabinetmaker finished it. Pressed glass knobs are molded into shapes, so that you may find fairly pink drawer pulls which resembles a rose to use to spruce up your mum's bathroom cabinets. Add some of them into some simple kitchen cabinets, and you make a design statement that is about your attention to detail.
Metal is the most common substance used for drawer knobs and has been the go-to choice for traditional layouts. But that does not mean you have to settle for common hardware. While a wrought iron pulls in the classic mushroom shape won't ever go out of style, it is possible to discover modern designs like an open-weave birdcage, a coil, or even a spiral in this traditional end. If you'd like to show a tiny tongue-in-cheek humor, you can choose a fun design like a vintage taxi, a cowboy boot, or even a very small margarita glass to reveal something you fancy without creating an entire themed room. Steel blends well with different materials, therefore it's easy to find metal drawer knobs with inlays in wood, leather, and stone.

Let me tell you how I made that experience the best it could be and how you can make your first impressions count when the opening theme music begins for your next job interview.
Anchoring Yourself For Success
What if I told you there was a technique I used for five minutes three times a day the week before this TV appearance that increased my self-confidence, relaxation, empowerment and helped me present myself the most effective way possible? It's called creative imagination.
Athletes have used the technique for years, picturing a flawless performance in their minds prior to an event. World class runner, Rodger Banister states that the reason he broke the four minute mile was because he visualized it many times before this historic race in 1954. Yet you needn't be performing in an athletic competition to harness the power of this technique. I used in preparation for my appearance on Oprah and you can use it for your next job interview.
It's well known by now that we only use 10% of our minds, and the other 90% is the unconscious portion. Creative imagination allows people to tap into this unconscious portion of their minds and harness its potential power.
We already have pictures and images in our minds. Trouble is, some of them are self-defeating. Why? Early on in life we might have been criticized at an impressionable moment and our mind held onto this memory vividly. This type of event can formulate a general pattern of expectation and we can lose sight that this was an event and not who we are.
This is what to do to "recondition" yourself in an empowering way:
1. Picture a moment in your life when you felt powerful. (i.e. you received a promotion, won a tournament or were acknowledged for an important achievement).
2. Close your eyes and relive that experience as fully as you can. Visualize the scene, feel your emotions, hear the people around you acknowledge you.
3. "Anchor" your experience by touching the thumb and your middle finger of your dominant hand. Connect this positive imagery with this physical sensation. Build this connection three times a day for the next week.
4. When you do your next interview or presentation "anchor" your thumb and middle finger (no one will notice) and feel your confidence increase.
Be Intentional: Your Accidental and Intentional Self
Another way to make your first impression count is to avoid unintentional messages you may be sending to your prospects. Many job seekers send unintentional messages, some which unconsciously sabotage their overall goals. They want to land a job, but their inability to make eye contact or the mumbled message they leave on an answering machine turns off the employer.
Send No Unintentional Messages
Unintentional messages erect an insurmountable barrier. Your job: be sure there is no barrier. There are really two people within you -- your accidental self and your intentional self. Most people are able to conduct about 95 percent of their lives by intent. But in today's job market that's not enough.
It's the other 5 percent that can get you in trouble. I'm not talking phoniness here. It's important to be who you are and to be aware of what you're doing, aware of whether or not your actions communicate ideas that will help you get the job you deserve.
Presenting Yourself with Impact
How do you send messages and present yourself right now?
* Pay attention to things that matter to others even more than what you say: keeping promises, punctuality, listening, honesty, demeanor, respect, gratitude, passion, sincerity, initiative, reliability. Enthusiasm, energy and cheerfulness can often be the defining variables.
* You market yourself in print with attention to detail in your letters, email, website, notes, faxes, brochures and other printed material. You also market yourself with your attitude—in a big way.
* You also send important signals with your eye contact, body language, habits and your speech patterns. Even the subtle communications like rolling your eyes or a sigh can lose rapport.
* Be conscious of your appearance. How you look can make or break a first impression. Feedback from a trusted friend can be invaluable.
* What are people using to base their opinions, to make their decisions about you?
Clothing * Hair * Weight * Jewelry * Makeup * Business card * Laugh * Glasses * Title * Neatness * Smell * Teeth * Smile * you Eye contact * Posture * Tone of voice * Handwriting * Spelling * Thoughtfulness * Car * Office * Home * Nervous habitsÊ* Handshake * Stationery * Availability * Writing ability * Phone use * Enthusiasm * Energy level
* Ask a trusted friend, colleague or success coach how you present yourself to others. It is always difficult to see ourself with the most objective eye. Awareness is always the first step to creating positive change.
In today's market it is often the small details that count most. With the right intention and attitude you can give yourself every chance for success.

How to Plan an Effective Email Marketing Campaign?
Are you a marketer who knows the strategy of building a mind-blowing email address? Is your email strategy yielding the desired results? Your approach will yield the results if you properly plan and implement your campaign. Today, a free email marketing software is a tool in the arsenal as it helps in building a customer relationship, which generates leads and sales. But, there is no magic wand which you can wave to make your marketing plan successful overnight. You need to focus on achieving success in your first campaign to build an active subscriber's base.
Here are a few ways of planning a winning email campaign.
1) Understanding the different emails
As a marketer, you're likely to interact with customers on a daily or weekly basis. And, you cannot send the same type of messages every day because the digital customers hate monotony. Therefore, you're likely to send three types of email namely – promotional emails, transactional emails and relational emails. The promotional emails are the ones who talk about sales and offers to the customers. The relational emails assure the subscribers receive gifts, newsletters, and relevant information. The last type is transactional emails, which include welcome messages, subscriber's signup confirmation and acknowledgment to changes in the subscriber's engagement. Also, marketers who use free email marketing software tend to send each type of email with precision.
2) Use the latest technology
Include marketing automation, integrate software such as WordPress and use tools to segment your audience. The more wisely you use technology, the better it will be for your brand. Focus on carrying out in-depth analytics on your email performance to gain useful insights about the success of the email campaign. Using technology, you can respond quickly to customers and deliver automated promotional messages.
3) Collect your data
As a marketer, you need to collect data from the customers otherwise wisely they might share wrong information with your brand. Based on your customer persona, you need to send subscribers the landing pages and emails when they're likely to be online. To increase your signup and open rate, you need to exchange gifts to reach the target audience. Offer something in exchange to the customers to win the trust of the readers. Once you gain the interest of the subscribers, they're likely to remember your brand every time an email pops-up in your mind. Dig deeper into your customer's person to create a campaign like never before.
4) Create a content calendar
Your content calendar is a lethal tool because it helps in achieving your marketing goals. In the calendar mark important events and holidays to send messages on important days. Based on the occasion, decide whether you require a time-based promotion or a non-promotional email. A good email marketing calendar will help you win the trust of the subscribers.
Creating a successful marketing campaign is challenging, but using free email marketing software, marketers can win the trust of the subscribers. Therefore, create an easy-to-follow plan to see your campaign reach great heights.

Heroin used to lure Kashmir youth into violence
Srinagar, Jul 20: While it is a known fact that the drugs have always been part of terrorism and extremist activities, it has now emerged that heroin and steroids are being used to lure youngsters in Kashmir into stone-pelting.
Anti-national and separatist elements are luring youth to take up stone pelting against security forces using Afghan heroin and steroids, official sources said on Thursday, Jul 29.
The narcotic angle in the unrest in the valley surfaced when state police interrogated some of the local youth. According to sources arrested youngsters have confessed to addiction to drugs, which was provided to them by a local supplier in return for their participation in stone pelting and protests.
Police quickly acted on these revelations and conducted operations on some of the localities. One peddler Shezad from Khanyar in the downtown area was arrested.
The peddler has told the police that he was getting heroin from a resident of Natipora, in the outskirts of the city.
Besides heroin and steroids, cigarettes loaded with charas and other drugs are being supplied to the youth, a police officier said. The drugs are supplied free of cost in return of stone-pelting services.
In a separate raid, police seized hundreds of disposable syringes and vials of heroins, steroids and analgesic injections.
This revelation has not only brought to light the ugly face of protests in Kashmir but has also raised concerns on youngsters becoming easily vulnerable to drug abuse.

Think twice before you invest in a top-of-the-line kitchen remodel.
Plus: Five big mistakes to avoid.
You might never catch up to rising home values.
It carries a penalty of up to 30 years in jail or $1 million in fines.
It's not Chip and Joanna's fault, but we need to drop some reality.
Here are the five most important things to consider.
"Old world charm" is a lie.
Your mortgage payment is only the beginning.
You may not need tens of thousands of dollars to purchase a house.
Shockingly, your roof is off-limits. And that's not all.
Make sure you can take on a home without going broke.
Meet the hoops you'll need to jump through.
What's tricky about bad advice is that often it sounds good.
Legally, you can't pay it back.
A low credit score isn't always a deal breaker.
It might seem like a scam, but not if the math works out in your favor.
When it comes to getting a mortgage, all the benefits of a tiny home could suddenly become roadblocks.
First-time homebuyers should be especially wary.
Here's what they don't show you on TV.
Paying an HOA fee is like paying rent on top of the mortgage, isn't it?

Let's be honest. Most of us could actually do tacos for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. This Mexican provision has become a California staple and is especially great summer fare. A taco duo provides a light nourishing bite on a hot day or it can be transformed into a heartier meal; just add more tacos!
We love that tacos bring groups of people together. They're also the secret weapon to spicing up anything from a baby shower to a Friday night in.
Our mouth-watering secret lies in two things: excellently sourced, pasture-raised beef and bone broth. Braised beef tacos have a depth of flavor that requires little fuss. We like using beef chuck roast or short ribs for the best balance of flavor and fat (our SF Bay Area faves are Prather Ranch Meat Co. and Keller Crafted).
Using beef bone broth as your braising liquid is also a sneaky way to use bone broth and not heat up the kitchen in the summer: just braise the beef in the slow cooker, then shred and use for tacos when you get home!
Serves: 4-6
Prep Time: 20 minutes | Total Time: 6-8 hours
- 3 lbs beef chuck roast or boneless beef short ribs, liberally salted
- 12 oz. Broth Baby beef bone broth
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 dried guajillo chiles & 3 dried chipotle chiles, stemmed and seeded
- 2 teaspoons cumin
- 1.5T oregano
- Corn tortillas, warmed (try Siete Foods cassava tortillas if you're grain free)
- Limes, cilantro, diced white onion or pickled red onion, and salsa verde/tomatillo salsa for serving
- In a dutch oven or skillet, toast the chiles over medium heat until lightly browned. Set aside.
- Drizzle avocado oil (or whatever you have on hand) into the skillet and saute yellow onion for 5 minutes. Add garlic and saute additional 1-2 minutes. Set aside.
- Turn the heat up to medium-high and sear the beef on all sides (about 2-3 minutes per side), so that a brown crust develops. Set aside.
- Combine the beef, chiles, onion, garlic, spices, and bone broth in a slow cooker. Set on low and cook for 8 hours (4-6 hours if cooking on high).
- Remove the beef - it should be fork tender. Shred with two forks and return to the slow cooker, mixing it in with the braising liquid.
- Serve simply: in a warm tortilla topped with cilantro, salsa, and a squeeze of lime.
Go ahead, throw a summer taco party. Everyone will thank you for it!
*Note: this recipe is lovingly adapted from our friends at Epicurious and inspired by the guajillo-braised tacos at Tacolicious, San Francisco.

NYC Eats: Best of Smorgasburg Pt.2
We've only got a few weeks left to take advantage of Smorgasburg here in NYC. We did a roundup of our fave eats at Smorgasburg last year, which you can check out here. This year we went again and definitely enjoyed it just as much, if not more than last year! Here are some of our favorites:
Best Newcomer
So, these vegan chai doughnuts are everything they sound like - amazing, heaven, spicy, gooey. I almost gave this title to a stand that focused on shishito peppers (which were all amazing) but these doughnuts from Dona Chai can't be beat and I wanted to eat like 5 more.
Best Oldie but Goodie
THESE tater tots are divine and just as good as they were last year. It took us a while to find them again and they stand is easy to miss as these tots are just a small side menu item. But, if you want to try them make sure to go to the BossaNova stand. Probably could have looked at my post from last year but was too hangry to think.
Best Twist on a Classic
I didn't personally get a chance to try these (being a vegetarian and all) but my friend tried and loved the Moroccan inspired scotch egg from The Imperial Egg. It definitely looks pretty!
These were three of our favorites but you really can't go wrong at Smorgasburg! Try everything and go home and take a nap. :) Smorgasburg is open until November 21, 2015.

EU, UK or Russian Federation please visit my gumroad shop.
This video contains Closed Captioning
Pre-requisite: Watch the Metal Tangles lesson first!

And so many tips and tricks!
Learn a super fun technique, with minimal investment
Supplies needed — READ CAREFULLY!
I experimented with several different types of materials and tools as to use the FEWEST specialized tools and supplies possible, so that we can enjoy this technique without a huge commitment or financial investment. Most of the tools you'll find in your artbox. These are my recommendations (read more about metal sheet at the end of this supply list):
Metal Foil tape: Nashua's Waterproofing Repair Metal tape. This is the thickest one, others are thinner and flimsier. It is still nowhere as thick as craft metal sheet. You can find it at a hardware store or on Amazon. One roll is only $10 and will last you a LONG time, you can share it with a friend.
1/4" Copper foil tape: Master Foil Plus by Ventura. Optional, but nice to have to give some color. You can get other brands, but this was the nicest and smoothest one I tried or all. Be careful to not get one that is too thin, or it won't work. One roll will last you a long time, you can share it with a friend.
Craft foam or mouse pad. Soft surface to work on. If you love your mousepad, keep in mind that it WILL get
dirty. Find it here.
A sharp pencil. I like to use 2H because the graphite is hard, but you can use any pencil you like.
Ball point pens. They don't need to be empty, in fact, they work better if they have ink. I use two kinds, one with a thinner point (gel pen) and one regular ball point.
A manicure flat stick or a popsicle stick.
A blending stump. Make sure you don't use your good one, it will get a little destroyed.
A pair of scissors. Make sure you have one dedicated only for this, since the adhesive on the tape can get very sticky.
White glue or double stick tape.
Thick cardstock paper. I use hot pressed watercolor paper.
Any brand black acrylic paint. I use a very inexpensive brand.
A medium size paintbrush. This is used to apply acrylic paint. Make sure it's not one of your best brushes, but preferably choose a soft flat brush.
Paper towels. Lots of it!
Plastic food wrap, e.g. Saran wrap. Any brand.
Brown Identipen by Sakura. Optional, to add some minimal color over the metal.
Spackle. Optional! Use to fill the back of very highly embossed shapes so they don't get flattened accidentally. If you are careful with the work, you DON'T need this. It smells really badly, nasty fumes.
About craft metal sheet: Typically speaking, metal embossing crafters use medium metal sheets that come in rolls — "medium" usually corresponds to 36 gauge, while "light" corresponds to 40 gauge (the higher gauges are thinner) — and they and can be found in art supply stores. While these produce very good quality results, I found them hard to manipulate, after a little while my hands hurt because they are quite thick. So while you can use the same exact techniques shown in the lesson, I did NOT use craft metal sheet, HOWEVER, if you want to try it, then you can find it here.
Learn HOW TO FORM A PRECIOUS METAL MANDALA
I'll show you several things you can do to create sharp, crisp, beautiful designs over metal foil tape, and how to create a GORGEOUSLY distressed piece of metal art!

Here's The #1 Thing That's Holding You Back
Each day we're given a new set of 24 hours – and maybe on most days you feel like you're not really
Accomplishing what you want to accomplish,
Doing much of any of the things that you love,
Getting your projects to done,
Achieving your goals,
Living the life you know you were meant to live.
You ask yourself, Why?
You think you're doing it right because you woke up early or set your goals or moved quickly throughout the whole day.
But you're still tired.
Tired of not having enough time to do the things you want to do.
Like getting outside each and everyday
Working out and getting more and more fit
Writing your book
Calling that friend to catch up
Dinner with your family
Date night with your sweetie
Or watch that movie you've been wanting to see for months.
Or worse – just tired of being tired.
How much longer are you going to live this way?
It doesn't have to be like this. You can get your most important things accomplished (and then some) and still have time leftover to do lots of the things you love.
What if I told you that your new biggest problem will be choosing what to do with all of your free time?
I'm super passionate about this because I made a change for myself, and I didn't change until I stopped making excuses.
Excuses that were believable to me and everyone else...but they were still just excuses.
A way to hold myself back.
I told myself that
I didn't have the time
I didn't have the energy or the motivation
I didn't have the money
I didn't even know how.
When the truth was – I just wasn't ready to commit to the change and I didn't have a system to help me.

How to Import Articles from the Google Docs to WordPress?
Updating and publishing various articles to your blog is a very important and essential activity for blog growth. Many of the bloggers would use WordPress editor for composing an article while some may use Microsoft Word to write an article and copy them to their WordPress editor for publishing them.
Some of the bloggers also do compose their article using desktop editors namely open Live Writer, Desk, or Blogo.
One of the drawbacks of all these methods is when you copy the article and paste in the WordPress site, the format and other things like images would not be the same as you have created using Google Docs and other editors like MS Word.
Did you know – you can write blog content on Google Docs and directly import it to the blog! It removes all the headache of copying and formatting the content.
You have to know the way for importing the articles from Google Docs to WordPress. Importing an article would maintain the originality as you had created. Though importing an article from Google Docs to WordPress is a little tricky thing, it is worthy.
Using Google Docs for creating articles does also provide some more writer friendly features. This post is going to provide you with a complete guide about importing an article from Google Docs to the WordPress site. This tutorial is going to provide you with a detailed and step-by-step procedure for the things to happen.
Follow each step and execute it carefully for error free importing. Let us go on.
Step 1
You have to begin by searching the Add-on (Plugin) for Google Docs and installing it. To download and install the Add-on "WordPress.com for Google Docs" you have to just click on the link, or you can also search for this plugin in the Chrome app store directly.
The above image illustrates the download page of the WordPress.com for Google Docs plugin along with the description of it. You just need to click on the FREE button, which you can find it on the right top of the screen. Clicking on it will lead to the downloading and installing process it for the Google Docs.
Step 2
Once you click on the free button, it will prompt you to sign in into the Google Docs account for the further process. If you have already signed in, it will take you to the next step automatically.
Step 3
After you get signed in to your Google Docs account, it will show a message indicating that the WordPress.com for Google Docs needs your permission to run. In that message box, you need to click on the CONTINUE button for the further processes.
Step 4
Clicking on the CONTINUE button will pop-up a new window showing you the various permissions that add-ons need to operate. You can check through each permission, and you have to click on the ALLOW virtual button at the right bottom of the screen.
Step 5
Once you allow the permissions that the Add-on requires, the add-on would get installed to the Google Docs account of you. The image illustrates the screen that you would get after you provide permission. You can manage the add-ons from the tab provided above as shown in the image.
Step 6
After installing the add-on, start creating an article in the Google Docs. If you already have the article in the Google Docs just open it. The above image is how it would look if you work or open an article in Google Docs.
Step 7
After finishing your article, you have to navigate to the Tab "Add-ons" on the top of the screen. After navigating to it, you have to just click on that tab. Clicking on that tab will show you a drop-down list showing all the add-ons that you have integrated with Google Docs. In that, just open the WordPress.com for Google Docs add-on. It will open another consecutive drop list. In that, just click the OPEN option. Doing this will open the add-on.
Step 8
Opening the Add-on will give out a sidebar prompting you to add the WordPress site in which you are going to import the article from the Google Docs. In that, just click on the "Add WordPress site" button to proceed further.
Step 9
Clicking on the ADD WORDPRESS SITE will take you to the login page of the WordPress. Just enter all the credentials and log in into your account for the further process.
Step 10
Once you enter the username and the password and you click to log in, it will show you the list of things that you have to approve for the upcoming procedures. This list is nothing but the permissions that this add-on requires for the easy access. In this box, just click on the APPROVE for providing approvals to the permissions.
Step 11
Clicking on the APPROVE will add the WordPress site of yours to the Google Docs. It will show you the WordPress site on the right side of the page with a SAVE button along with it. Importing the article from Google Docs to the WordPress site is very simple, and you can make it so by simply clicking on the SAVE button. The above image illustrates the scenario that it would show after you approve the permissions that the Add-on prompted you to approve.
One of the added advantages of this plugin is you can add multiple WordPress accounts to your single Google Docs account. And you can import any article to any WordPress site in just single click i.e. Clicking on the SAVE button as shown in the image above.
After adding your site to Google Docs, you can open this add-on at any time by just opening the add-on as if following the steps mentioned previously. Follow all the steps as if described in the steps mentioned above and make use of the screenshots for the better understanding.
Possible Error Occurrence And Solution For It
During the process of Signing in to your WordPress site through the WordPress.com for Google Docs add-on, you may get an error in some cases. It will show you an error message mentioning "Someone might be trying to trick you to give them access to your site or it could be you just encountered a bug" and also prompt you to close this window. You can simply ignore this pop-up.
For stopping this to happen in future, you can try by cleaning the cache on your server and the WordPress and try logging in again. You can also try Jetpack debugging tool for eliminating the problem. And, it is a better choice if the problem persists even after cleaning the cache on the server and WordPress.
You may also face another problem that could annoy you in the process of importing the articles from Google Docs to WordPress. It is a common error and may occur in certain cases. You could receive a pop-up message showing error mentioning that "There was a problem getting your site's information. So kindly make sure you have the Jetpack JSON API enabled and try re-adding it." It is what the message that popped-up would show you. For fixing this problem, you have to follow certain steps.
On the admin dashboard of your WordPress site, you need click on the Jetpack tab in the listed options. In that, just click on the settings option. In the SETTINGS option of Jetpack, you have to click on the General tab. In that, you could see options like Connection Settings, Notifications, JSON API, and more. In those options, you have to enable the JSON API by just checking the virtual button on the adjacent side. The above image illustrates the mentioned process.
Things You Should Know
Some of the bloggers may do some edits in the images after they are inserted in the article. If you are using Google Docs, the edits like rotating, cropping done within it will not get changed in the WordPress draft even you do import through the add-on. So, it is better to edit the images before inserting them to the Google Docs.
The image remains in the database even if you remove the images from the updated drafts of WordPress. To overcome this problem, you have to delete the images from the tab manually in the WordPress dashboard.
If you add any comments in the article while you compose it using Google Docs, it will not be shown in the draft of WordPress. This is an excellent feature since you may add comments for the internal use only.
This article would definitely help you in importing the articles from the Google Docs to WordPress. The above-stated method is one of the easiest ways to import articles to WordPress from Google Docs. The expected errors and solutions for that would also be very useful for you. This error may not happen all times, but one should know what to do if it happens. This article would help you in that case. Happy blogging!

The Land Report, a leading national real-estate publication, has recognized Smith Kandal Insurance & Real Estate as one of America's "Best Brokerages" in its Summer 2015 Issue!
A Great Honor
The publication performs research and surveys brokerages around the country to determine the companies that are publicized in its magazine and on its website.

The publication, which maintains an online version at LandReport.com, serves as a guide for landowners, and it is delivered to some of the most prestigious individuals in the country, including members of Congress and individuals included in Forbes Magazine's list of the 'World's 400 Billionaires.'
Why Smith-Kandal?
In order for brokerages to be recognized by The Land Report, they must have a strong local presence, in addition to national prominence.

"We are proud to be included in The Land Report's prestigious listing of the America's Best Brokerages. It means that that we're doing our jobs right, but it also means that we have to keep working hard so we can be included on this amazing list year after year." -Darren Smith

Usually, two types of property buyers can be identified as follows: Those who intend to acquire property and pay by their own independent means either immediately or on mutually agreed terms; and those who seek a mortgage provider to purchase the property. Generally, most property acquisitions are carried out by means of a mortgage. With respect to the acquisition of property, a mortgage can be defined as: An agreement by which an individual borrows money from a money-lending organisation such as a bank or building society, and consents to the right for that lending organisation to reclaim ownership of the property, should the person subsequently prove unable to repay the loan or fulfill the loan's general terms and conditions. To buy a house in London, here is the sequence of steps to take:
Step 1:
Determine the means by which to buy the house; either by personal means or through a mortgage. Equally determine the price range of the property you are looking for.
Step 2:
Register with an accredited and professional estate agent and provide your property specifications with regard to cost, form, capacity, location and others. Estate agents usually have access to a vast range of available property.
Step 3:
The estate agent would provide you with property options compatible with your specifications. This phase is usually characterised by constant communication between the estate agent and the potential buyer.
Step 4:
You arrange property viewing with the agent at mutually agreed times.
Step 5:
If you find property that fulfills your specification and you are interested in pursuing the deal, then engage a solicitor well versed in the domain of conveyance.
Step 6:
Make an offer for the property to the estate agent, who tend transmits the message to the owner or seller of the house, both verbally and in writing.
Step 7:
If offer is agreed, the estate agent carries out the relevant paperwork.
Step 8:
For conveyancing, your solicitor liaises with the solicitor of the seller, to align all matters pertaining to the deal.
Step 9:
Survey and mortgage offer:
A survey of the property will be booked by a surveyor on behalf of the mortgage lender, to identify any structural problems and advise on the property's value.
Step 10:
Exchange of contracts occurs between the buying party and the selling party.
Step 11:
Deal is complete when buyer must have received the full amount of the price of the property.

To the Editor:
In hopes to have another far right wing judge appointed to the Supreme Court, Republicans apparently have chosen to ignore the mendacious and erratic behavior of the president.
Where are the Republicans who expressed concern about the lack of character and morality when Democrats occupied the White House? Lies, character assassination, disgusting language about women and demeaning treatment of subordinates now seem to be accepted as OK by most leaders on the right.
It will be difficult for Republicans to reclaim the moral high ground after this president leaves office.

"Isabella Bird was like a wild vine stuck in a too-small pot. She needed more room. She had to get out. She had to explore."
Exploring was easier said than done in Victorian England. But Isabella persisted, and with each journey, she breathed in new ways to see and describe everything around her. Question by question, word by word, Isabella bloomed. First, out in the English countryside. Then, off to America and Canada. And eventually, around the world, to Africa, Asia, Australia, and more.
This dashing picture book biography about the first female member of the Royal Geographic Society takes readers around the world with a daring nineteenth-century female explorer and author. Kristy Caldwell's detailed illustrations illuminate Bird's travels around the world, and Lori Mortensen's back matter, author's note, and bibliography will satisfy the curiosity of readers who want to learn more.

Artist Janet Davis has been looking for some inspiration for her own work and future direction, in particular around the idea of books and multiples, and the opportunity of pulling together some of her images she has of Ouseburn. Janet recently presented some of her work in progress at an event organised by the Ouseburn Futures Arts and Creative Industries Group, which I am sure would have been really well received. Janet is also looking for some suggestions on what do to with a collection of sketches from life drawing sessions, if you have any ideas.

The Noise Action Plan brings together all our noise management activities into one living document. The document includes specific actions that will be implemented by LBA® to manage the effects of noise arising from airport activities, in order to minimise, as far as practicable, any adverse impact on the local communities surrounding the airport.
The Noise Action Plan is a legal requirement under the Environmental Noise Directive (END) (2002/49/EC), relating to the assessment and management of environmental noise. The END was transposed into English law by the Environmental Noise (England) Regulations 2006 (as amended).
Noise Preferential Routes (NPR's) are in place for departing jet aircraft and were developed as a performance route to direct departing jet aircraft over the least populated areas. All departing jet aircraft are required to follow the NPRs, however, sometimes this may not be possible due to weather conditions or conflicting traffic. In addition, turboprops and light aircraft are exempt from the NPR.
Four permanent noise monitoring stations are in operation to measure noise levels to ensure the airport is operating in compliance with our noise restrictions. Two noise monitors are located in Horsforth, one is located in Menston and one in Burley-in-Wharfedale. The noise monitors are positioned at each side of the two designated NPRs. Leeds City Council undertakes all of the airport's noise monitoring, which is reported via the Airport's Consultative Committee and the Leeds City Council Planning Committee.
Light aircraft operate out of the south side of the airfield for pilot training and other leisure and business purposes. When a pilot is training they have to undertake 'circuits' of the airfield to practice landings and take-offs, however, sometimes the light aircraft will have to 'orbit' within the circuit, in a holding position under the instructions of Air Traffic Control. In respect of orbiting aircraft, most airports with public transport operations (as is the case at Leeds Bradford Airport) have to orbit light aircraft as a matter of course.
The airport has offered two noise insulation grant schemes in the past. The first scheme was associated with the runway extension in 1981 and the second scheme was associated with 24 hour availability in 1994. There have been no significant airport developments (to impact upon noise exposure) since 1994 that would require the airport to offer a further noise insulation grant scheme and therefore no schemes are available at this present time.
If you didn't find what you were looking for, feel free to send us a get in touch and we'll get back to you as soon as we can.

Sympathetic Magic: Video Myths and Rituals, a group exhibition of time based work organized by curator Catherine Taft opens at the Armory Center for the Arts' main Caldwell Gallery on Saturday, January 22, 2011, 7 - 9pm. This group exhibition dealing with themes relating to myth and ritual, will feature works from 1974 through the present by video artists Neil Beloufa, Nancy Buchanan, Spencer Douglass and Gustavo Herrera, Naotaka Hiro, Ulysses Jenkins, Aaron GM, Cynthia Maughan, Nikhil Murthy, Catherine Ross, Marnie Weber, and Bruce and Norman Yonemoto with Mike Kelley.
In anthropology, archeology, and other sciences, the term "sympathetic magic" is used to describe a belief system in which supernatural powers are ascribed to certain inanimate objects. In many ways, the video image could be considered a form of sympathetic magic; within its flickering frame, a parallel world is signified, invoked, and believed. This exhibition examines modes of storytelling, ritual, everyday magic, and repetition through video art. It includes works that investigate traditional representations of cultural belief and folklore as seen in Ulysses Jenkins' The Nomadics, a piece about the evolution of the African Diaspora and global parallels within its cultures; Neil Beloufa's dislocating and other worldly video Kempinski, which poses questions about the future to Malian people; the Yonemoto brothers and Mike Kelley's retelling of the Oedipus myth via the legendary Japanese creature Kappa – a sexualized trickster known to prey on woman and children; and Nikhil Murthy's They Ship the Water in Every Day,, in which characters from an idyllic Garden of Eden meet those from a postapocalyptic badlands inside a Los Angeles laundromat.
Also explored are more experimental takes on the transcendent side of human experience as with the performative activities of Aaron GM, who uses his own body to strip meaning from the sounds, signs and gestures of human communication; Naotaka Hiro, who, in his Super 8 film transfers, communes with a skull by packing it with rice in a ritualistic manner as if to give new life to the form; and Marnie Weber's video The Campfire Song in which her rock group, The Spirit Girls, evoke oral tradition though campfire tales where animals come to life.

The Careful Craft of Cake Art
In an old shoe factory in New York City's Garment District, Ron Ben-Israel kneads bright-orange sugar paste. The paste is thick, almost like clay, which he flattens with a roller and cuts with a mold into the shape of a flower.
A very artistic sensibility: To be imperfect is to be real. This alone is something of a contradiction within the baking world, where a recipe is not something one improvises. But that combination of scientific precision and artistic freedom is what makes Ben-Israel's work stand out.
He removes it from the mold and picks the petals out by hand. "You don't want it to be too perfect," he says, "otherwise it doesn't look real."
From Art School To Cakes
Ben-Israel came to cakes from an artistic point of view. "I went to art school for four years," he says. After retiring from a 15-year career as a modern dancer, he turned his sights toward his lifelong love of pastry arts — having watched his mother bake as a child.
In 1996, his cakes were discovered while on display in the windows of Mikimoto, on Fifth Avenue, and commissions soon followed. His baking career thus began, and he quickly started to attract attention.
One early admirer was Martha Stewart, who became a mentor. Gradually, Ben-Israel grew to become one of the most sought-after cake designers in the business.
His work has been featured in Martha Stewart Weddings, Brides magazine and New York Magazine. He has appeared as a judge on Food Network's Cake Wars and had his own show, Sweet Genius, for three seasons. We were lucky enough to watch him in action, witnessing firsthand the patience and love that one must have in order to create something mouthwatering and mouthwateringly beautiful.
A World of Flowers
Ben-Israel holds a sugary recreation of the cattleya orchid. "It's a very exotic flower," he says. "It's famous for being very frilly. It has wild colors. It's very sensual and tricky to make. I had to pull the edges by hand to make it frill. They're very expressive. There's another orchid I like to do called dancing ladies. It's a huge world of flowers in general, but orchids in particular are fascinating."
These delicate sugar pieces are artfully composed around the layers of cake, creating a cascading bouquet and a piece of cake art so beautiful you won't believe it's edible.
Appeasing the Client
Ben-Israel's cakes are collaborative creations, and he works closely with his clients throughout the planning process. "Hopefully I will be able to capture what they have in mind," he says. "We cannot proceed without feedback and approval."
For more information about Ron Ben-Israel's gorgeous cake art, visit weddingcakes.com. You can also find Ben-Israel across social media at @rbicakes.

Billy Keane: New Zealand hold no fear for Sexton after surviving the mannequin challenge
My mam said to me, not long before she died, that one morning when I was an even smaller small boy than I am now, I told her there were pictures on my pillow.
Jonathan Sexton's pictures on his pillow were all about rugby. And yes sometimes dreams do come true, if you try hard enough.
We sent Jonathan a picture, from home, of a small, surreal creature, no bigger than a tall Hobbit. Martin the Mannequin stood sentinel on his nana's shop window for over 40 years and he didn't age a day. Nana Brenda and uncle John watched the Lions beat the All Blacks on Saturday. They stood in for the picture with Martin. Jonathan was very wary of Martin when he was a kid. He was scared of Martin.
Nana Brenda prays like mad before every game. I tried to explain that she must pray for a Lions' win and not just for her grandson to come home safe. Brenda opens her shop every morning. They say you should never disclose a lady's age. But we'll give you a clue, in Bingo - two fat ladies. Brenda is slim, fit and hardy. She passed it on.
Her grandson faced up to the All Blacks, and as usual there was no fear or backing down. Martin wasn't playing. The ten didn't miss a single tackle and he knew where the gaps were to be found. But most of all Sexton bossed his team into the right places and they trusted in his know-how.
Yet just a few days before the equalising test the young lad told us he wasn't sure if he would start. The body had healed up. "I'm ready," he said. But he worried.
Jonathan's wife Laura is minding their two kids. She is pretty, smart and honest. Laura backs up her husband. It was Luca's birthday and his Dad was away in New Zealand. Pro-rugby is not all about laps of honour and high fives. The Lion misses his wife and cubs so much and they miss him.

Jonathan's mother Clare went back to styling hair in her salon on Orwell Road immediately after the game. She too works hard and her clients come back time and again. All these loving people are so inextricably linked to the playing of a game.
Jonathan's pal Owen Farrell works with Dad Andy, who is a Lions' coach. Andy must have nearly died when his young lad faced up to that last kick with just two minutes left on the clock. Being the parent of a kicker is like watching your son dispose of bombs every ten or 12 minutes. Andy has been a Dad since he was 16. He is greatly respected by the players and his openness has helped many young people through teenage pregnancy.
What if his boy missed? Every time I see a Rice Krispie bun I get emotional over an U-12's game my team lost 18 years ago. The lads were mad for Rice Krispie buns and red lemonade. They'd probably get banned now for breaking drug-testing rules. But Owen Farrell's dream came true. He won The Test. Happy memories.
Parents of big stars often wonder if their son would have had an easier life if he was playing a bit of club rugby, for fun, with the third D's', which is not a Dublin bus route, but a team far removed from the first XV. There's no fun playing in the actual match itself at the highest level. The fun comes in training with your pals and the banter of the changing rooms. Joy comes after matches, but not during.
There won't be much fun in The Sonny Bill Williams' house this weekend. He was rightly red carded. Sonny Bill is a gentleman who has time for everyone but he was well out of order. Times were tough enough when he was growing up. Sonny Bill turned pro to "get his mother a house" and he did. Some mother's son and a good son is Sonny Bill.
The Barretts are dairy farmers, good people, who will console their boy Beaudy who was tough enough to play Gaelic football in Meath. He missed a few kicks on a rainy night. Jonathan Sexton knows all about missed kicks but the top players just move on. Young Beaudy will rise again but Sonny Bill will now miss the final test after his four-week ban was confirmed. Sean O'Brien is from the tillage lands of Tullow and avoided suspension after being cleared of dangerous play.
The New Zealand Flock picked on Warren Gatland. He made allegations of foul play against the All Blacks. The clown front page was an invitation to ostracise. Gatland always had courage. He is his own man but no man is an island. His New Zealand family suffered and worried for someone's son, someone's father and someone's husband. Gatland is a quiet, sincere man who just happens to be in the most public of jobs. Why do we judge people we have never met from a series of sound bites or headlines or pitch-time plays?
Just a few hours after the game, Jonathan's dad, Jerry, who is the best coach I know, hit a big birthday. From the day Jerry arrived in New Zealand his sons' form improved.
So there he was on the bus after the game counting down the clock. "It's only 53 minutes to my dad's birthday," he told us. This Bilbo is a big boy now but even big boys need their dad.
So maybe the next time you decide to have a cut remember Martin the Mannequin is made of fibre glass but real people like Warren, Jonathan, Andy, Owen, Sean, Beaudy, Sonny Bill and many more are made of flesh and blood.

After moving to Plymouth to go to University I wanted to start something outside of my studies to help build my CV and get more experience. That's when I discovered Plymouth Energy Community, advertising their first round of Home Energy Volunteer training. The training sessions were very welcoming and interesting and through which, I was first introduced to the concept of fuel poverty. After the training I was ready to assist in home visits as well as attending events to help promote the valuable services PEC provide. Volunteering with PEC was very flexible around my studies, allowing me to do a few hours here and there. It helped me build confidence and the work I carried out was worthwhile and fulfilling, I could see the changes as we helped to empower households.
The role I had with PEC inspired me for the topic of my undergraduate dissertation 'Fuel poverty in Plymouth: analysing PEC as a local solution'. After sometime PEC also put me through further training to achieve a City & Guilds in Energy Awareness. My passion and enthusiasm for volunteering with PEC was rewarded after being nominated and winning of Plymouth's Young Volunteer of the Year 2016. Unfortunately due to time constraints my volunteering came to an end in my final year at University. But the skills I gained and the training I received enabled me to get my dream graduate role as an Energy Advisor for a charity based in Southampton. I'm excited to be doing similar rewarding work on fuel poverty and energy efficiency.
I'd encourage anyone to join the PEC Pal's programme. You'll learn so much and meet some fantastic people, it's definitely helped me.

The property market in Egypt has remained buoyant for a potential expatriate despite concerns over inflation, according to HomesGoFast.com.
Chief executive Nick Marr said that low entry prices for investors meant that capital growth was still very realistic and property could be acquired with little or no financing while leaving exposure to risk at a low.
Mr Marr went on to say that the fact that tourists have been visiting Egypt for years means that much of the infrastructure needed for property developments is already in place.
Alexandria, Luxor, Hurghada and Sharm el-Shiekh were all served by low cost airlines so it would be easier for an expatriate to move to Egypt without breaking the bank.
House prices in Egypt are low in comparison to England, however, they are likely to increase so people should move as soon as possible, according to Mr Marr.
"We market properties in Egypt starting from under £20,000 and the only way for prices like these to go is up," he said.

Eldo West's "Notes Concerning Yorba Linda"
In 1980, I was part of Dr. Arthur Hansen's community history class at Cal State Fullerton, and he had given us a project – to try to preserve the oldest house in Yorba Linda. In fact, it was not only the oldest house in town, it was the childhood home of author Jessamyn West (1902-1984) who used her Yorba Linda memories in many of her novels. Better still, it was already owned by the city, sitting in the middle of 13 acres of proposed parkland at the corner of Palm and Yorba Linda Blvd.
Naturally, several of us (including Dr. Hansen) all wrote to Jessamyn West, and for some reason, mine was the letter she chose to answer first:
"Your letter prompted me to get out a sizeable sheath of pages written at my request by my father about twenty-five years ago – telling of Yorba Linda when he moved there in 1910.
"What he has to say is not only well written but authentic. For instance, he did not by 'a lot' in 1910 as the county record reports, but ten acres of barley land on which he, when the Tract (as it was called) drilled wells, planted oranges and lemons.
"I am going to have these pages xeroxed and my brother, Merle E. West, will see that you have a copy. I will not try to recount for you now the richness of details you will find in them: everything from the size of the redwood planks used in building the house to the number of trapdoor spiders and roadrunners in the neighborhood.
"Alas, no one was concerned about the preservation of endangered species in those days and I doubt that either can now be found in Yorba Linda.
"My father … was Superintendent of the Water Company; president of the school board; Master, if that is the word for it, of the Masons.
"In his accounts, written for me, are fascinating facts which none of us, even historic commodities like me, could arrive at by speculating. An eight-year-old female can't hold a candle to a twenty-nine year old housebuilder and citrus grower. I send you a treasure trove."
And indeed she did.
One phrase in West's letter deserves explanation. Dr. Hansen, in a rush of enthusiasm, had more than once described Jessamyn West in the newspapers as "a valuable historical commodity." "We would like to see Yorba Linda capitalize on Jessamyn West like Salinas has with Steinbeck," he explained. (Yorba Linda Star, Aug. 12, 1980) Thus West's joking reference to herself.
Armed with West's support, our class pushed on. We met with city officials, spoke to community organizations, gave newspaper and radio interviews, did displays around town, and prepared a nomination for the National Register of Historic Places. The city officials seemed less than excited about our efforts.
In California, those nominations are first reviewed by the State Historical Resources Commission, so in February 1981 I traveled north to Larkspur to make our case before the commission. The City of Yorba Linda, meanwhile wrote to the commission to announce their plans to tear down several of the surrounding ranch buildings and "abate a hazardous condition." That was probably their undoing.
"What about this letter from the city?" one of the commissioners asked me.
"What letter?" I said. "They told us they weren't going to take any position on the nomination."
One of the commissioners handed me their copy, which I had to read and respond to on the spot. Once the commissioners found out the site was threatened their interest increased, and we were given preliminary approval to move forward, subject to providing more information. Because Jessamyn West was still living, our statement of significance could not rely on her work as an author. Instead, we had to work from Eldo West's significance in the founding of Yorba Linda.
At the same time, the city suddenly decided to evict the caretaker who had been living in the house for several years. The house was left standing open and abandoned, and sure enough, on February 28, 1982, it was burned to the ground in an arson fire.
So ended our efforts to save the oldest house in Yorba Linda.
But the story wasn't over. Barely a year later, the city began negotiations with a developer to give him half the proposed park site "in exchange for a developer's offer to build a city hall at no cost to the city." (Los Angeles Times, Oct. 18, 1983) Despite protests from local residents, a dozen homes went up on the north end of the property and the City of Yorba Linda got their city hall. A year later, Jessamyn West Park opened on the remaining acres.
After using Eldo West's recollections in preparing the nomination to place his home on the National Register of Historic Places, I summoned up my courage and suggested to Jessamyn West that his manuscripts would be a valuable addition to the published history of Orange County. Her reply was immediate and definite:
"Thank you for your kind words about my father's letters. Since they form a part of a collection of my forebears, some dating back to the 18th century, I would not like to have them separated from the others.
"While they include facts about early Yorba Linda, they have a deeper meaning for me and my family….
"Use them to check facts about Yorba Linda, but I would not want them to pass out of my hands or to be used and edited by any one other than myself."
And there things stood at the time of Jessamyn West's death in February 1984 at the age of 81.
After a decent interval, I approached the library at Whittier College (West's alma mater, where she had donated her papers) and after they conferred with her husband, Dr. Harry McPherson, I was given permission to publish Eldo West's recollections. I have used excerpts from them in the past and now take this opportunity to share more of them with a wider audience. As his daughter promised, they are well-written and wonderfully detailed.
The four articles that follow were assembled from a variety of manuscripts written by Eldo West in the late 1950s. Where there was repetition I have tried to select the most detailed versions. Besides the photocopies sent by Jessamyn West, I am also grateful to her brother, Merle West (1912-1998) who loaned me one of their father's original manuscripts to copy.

Eldo R. West
Born of Quaker stock in Jennings County, Indiana, in 1879, in 1901 Eldo West married Grace Milhous (he always said she proposed). Their first daughter, Mary Jessamyn West, was born a year later. Eldo "was six feet one, black-haired, olive-skinned, had broad shoulders, gray eyes, and an aquiline nose," his daughter later recalled in The Woman Said Yes (1976). "Eldo was a quiet man," she added, "easily discouraged, and given to melancholy." While "Grace was tenacious, witty and merry." They both shared a love of travel.
After farming and teaching school in Indiana, in 1909 the Wests came to California, settling originally in Whittier before moving to Yorba Linda in the fall of 1910.
Two other children were born to Eldo and Grace in Indiana: Myron (1903-1975) and Carmen (1906-1963). Their youngest son, Merle, was born in Yorba Linda in March 1912. Grace's father, Jesse Milhous, was the brother of Frank Milhous, grandfather of future president Richard Nixon, who was born in Yorba Linda in 1913. Thus the West and the Nixon children were cousins.
In Yorba Linda, West was active in many roles. He served on the original school board from 1912-15 and again from 1918-21. He went to work for the local water company in 1913 and served as superintendent from 1914-21. He was one of the founding directors of the First National Bank of Yorba Linda in 1916, a charter member of the local Masonic Lodge in 1918, and served briefly as postmaster.
That same year, he founded Acme Cleaners and Dyers in Anaheim, which ran until 1934 when his son, Merle, took over the business. He moved to Anaheim in 1923, and then to Whittier in 1932, where he owned a small orange grove for many years and sold real estate on the side.
Grace West passed away in 1959, and two years later Eldo moved to a Quaker retirement home in Oregon where he passed away on December 31, 1969 at the age of 90.
Jessamyn West graduated from Whittier College in 1923, married classmate Harry McPherson, and began a teaching career before being stricken with tuberculosis. She began writing from her sickbed in the 1930s and first found fame with her 1945 collection of stories of Midwestern Quaker life, The Friendly Persuasion (1945). She returned to her Yorba Linda childhood in several of her novels and memoirs. Her father's "notes" were originally written for her when she was writing her novel South of the Angels (1960), which is set in Yorba Linda in 1916. Memories of her childhood there also appear in her coming of age novel, Cress Delahanty (1953), and her memoirs Hide and Seek (1973) and The Woman Said Yes (1976).
Jessamyn West also wrote a few recollections of early Yorba Linda for the newspapers, including this article for the Yorba Linda Star (October 17, 1947), available on the Yorba Linda Public Library website.
