Seriously.This post an illustrated lesson of how to load a staple gun.
My staff is great. My associates are great. However, not all of them demonstrate strong mechanical abilities.
After losing a couple hours unjamming a staple gun that had been improperly loaded, I thought maybe creating a post indicating the proper way to load a staple gun would be a useful thing.
The associate in question evidently tried to slide a strip of staples in like this:
NO!
Instead, drop the strip of staples into the open slot at the bottom of the staple gun, here:
With points facing upwards, like this:
After the strip of staples is positioned in the slot, slide the spring tension arm over them.
(And yes, I did go to the hardward store and buy a new staple gun, thinking it really wasn't worth the amount of time to unjam the old staple gun... Studying the new stapler is how I finally figured out how to fix the spring tension arm of the old one .... :-) )
Charles Fletcher Lummis founded the Southwest Museum to be a comprehensive museum covering the history, science, and art of the American Southwest.
Founded in 1907, the Southwest Museum's permanent home was specifically chosen atop a hill overlooking the Arroyo Seco Valley and since opening in 1914, the Southwest Museum has remained the iconic symbol of Los Angeles' architectural and cultural life.
This gorgeous building became, in many ways, a pivot point that swung the city from an agrarian community to an urban metropolis of the first order.
Today, following years of "backroom negotiations" and unkept promises, the museum is permanently closed, and it's vast collection is unavailable to the public. The architecturally-designed museum structure, now used as a storage warehouse, is void of public life.
The Highland Park Heritage Trust (HPHT) is working hard to re-open the Southwest Museum and to educate the city about all the important treasures of the region's Arroyo Culture.
The National Trust for Historic Preservation has created "This Place Matters Community Challenge" to help non-profit organizations across the country start a conversation about places that matter in our communities.
Each organization that is participating is competing to register the most support for their places, with the winning group receiving a cash award of $25,000 to support their preservation efforts!

Margaret Garcia: A painter with fiery brush strokes and colors just as aggressive, Garcia's images are as potent as the artist herself.

This is a live feed from Realtor's Property Resource (RPR) a BETA project to "provide unmatched access to a single-source national compilation of tax and assessment data; property data; neighborhood, school, demographic and psychographic information; and maps, trends and reports. It will be exclusive to members of NAR, and members of subscribing MLS/CIE’s who are participants of the RPR."
Creating a complete training and support system for an application like Realtors Property Resource™ (RPR) is a big task, and one that’s just as important to get right as the application itself. As a result, we took a detailed approach, talking to MLS and broker training directors around the country and building a system around their suggestions—from creating a complete online training curriculum to providing easy-to-access help for everything from routine questions to urgent needs from our users.
Our training instructors will be based out of Kansas City. I suppose their location isn’t very important since all of our courses will be offered online. REALTOR® members will be able to choose from at least 2 classes daily, 5 days a week. These classes will be lead by instructors with real estate experience, and staggered throughout the day to accommodate users in different time zones. And if you can’t make one of the live webinars, you will be able to watch one of our previously recorded sessions. For our MLSs partners’ staff, we have developed an extensive curriculum of “Train the Trainer” courses.
We’ve also setup a separate facility in Chicago that will be open around the clock—24 hours a day, 7 days a week—once we come out of beta. As Mike DelGaudio, RPR Director of Training and Support, says, “We understand real estate is a 24 hour-a-day business, so we’ll be there to help you whenever you’re working”. Members will be able to access the support staff through live chat, email, or phone.
For those that want an online help system, we’ve set up the “RPR Help Center”. It’s filled with hundreds of articles and related resources. Don’t see the answer to your question? The Help Center is interactive – you can leave a comment or ask a question, and it will be shared with our representatives and the other users of RPR. The Help Center also includes videos on many key topics – often with Spanish translations – available when you see the “Captions” button at the bottom of the video player.
So when RPR comes to your market, check out these great new offerings designed to get you up-to-speed and productive in the system right away, so you can start using it to do more business with your customers. We hope they’re helpful, and that if you don’t find something you need, you’ll tell us what you think.
Here's the dark side of Facebook PLACES. It just went live on Wednesday last week -- so the Bartman decided to give it a whirl.
I was celebrating a killer July sales month so I decided to have a dinner party and I invited some of my younger friends in their 30's. All of them iPad, iPhone, or Droid toting, digitally connected REALTOR colleagues.
We headed over to Blue Corn Cafe off Jefferson and I-25 for blue margaritas.
The wait staff had arranged a large, long table for all of us. when 90% of our group had arrived I had announced I had checked them in on Facebook Places as they arrived to I could inform the rest of the group.
Foursquare lets you check in and tagging people with GPS like check-in programs like Foursquare and now Facebook Places isn't a bad thing, right? Well... as I learned today (Sunday) it depends on who you talk to. Because it CAN be a huge violation of your Privacy.
Here's what happened.
I now have more than 1,000 Friends on Facebook. Combined with my friends and colleagues I invited to dinner on Friday, we probably shared more than 17,000 friends/contacts.
As my friends arrived, I checked them into Facebook places without their permission. Informing the rest of the incoming gang where we were and who showed up.
When I informed the group I had added them -- 5 out of the 11 were upset. One of my friends was completely torked. He had told his wife a small white lie. He told his better half that he had work to do.
She is an avid user of Facebook. (whoops, my bad! )
So he imagined his wife waiting at home for him at the front door -- holding the frying pan to beat him over the head immediately upon his arrival.
Another problem didn't surface until the next day. My post on Facebook Places showed up in more than 100 newsfeed websites. I never meant to broadcast this to a ton of websites. What the Hell was I thinking?
Ooops. Here I am reading about my dinner party and who I checked in as the arrived at the door. Why does this have to make the news feeds? I had no clue. Suffice it to say, I got a few upset phone calls this weekend. Fortunately, the newsfeeds dump stuff quickly and I personally wrote 11 of them asking them to please clear the news about my party which was now a train wreck that I wanted to forget.
Who's responsible for this problem? Marrk Zuckerberg, CEO and jerk at large from Facebook. Apparently he just can't seem to stay out of trouble. In April, Facebook announced the LIKE button feature which violated a lot of people's security by openly allowing anyone with the skills to hack your personal calendar online and access content you might not want others to have.
What's WRONG with Check In Networks like Foursquare and new Facebook Places? Plenty of you've been stalked on line by thieves.
My checking my friends into Facebook Places sends the clear message to a whole new crop of smart theft rings, I call; DiHeads ( Digital Housebreakers with Droids or DHD's )
One of my colleagues told me this is a real problem and he showed me a website, PleaseRobMeshowed the darker side of Check in Websites. I invite you to click and visit that site. If you use Twitter, Facebook or Foursquare -- this will scare the living daylights out of you. And it needs to wake all of us up -- because we have to be careful with what we do online.
Because thieves will watch you and wait for you to leave your home. The process might take weeks or months of stalking. But one day, you go home and you learn sometimes too late, that you need to be more careful with what you post online.
Below is the video on YouTube that shows you how to deactivate the Facebook Places and prevents people from ADDING or letting them Check you in, too.
Tsk. Tsk. I like Facebook.
But it seems that Facebook never really thinks alot about how their new products will affect personal security. Mark Zuckerberg (Facebook's founder/CEO) blindly spends millions of dollars in new products that can harm you.
They screwed up in April on the privacy issues. And now... here we go again.
Below is the YouTube Video that Facebook Places is now under your control.
Most folks know I've been in the cheering section for WordPress Mu (multiple user) since 2008. For me, it has been a great way to create separate sites for staff members, individual properties, particular neighborhoods, etc.... without needing to setup up a separate hosting account for each.
Another tip: If you are using a Categories or Archives widget on your original site; after Multi-Site is enabled, remove each of those widgets and then reinstall them (just drag back to the sidebar), to make sure permalinks are updated.
