Computer Challenge Question: Windows 7 Ultimate, Video Question, Dilema - 04/25/11 11:22 PM
I recently purchased a new (to me) Dell Vostro 1500 laptop running Windows 7 Ultimate. The guy I bought it from was a "tinkerer" who was mostly hardware-oriented. He had stripped it to the operating system with very few of the free demonstration software applications. I bought it 4 months ago but have not moved into it much so far. I do not trust it with any of the things that I do that require a lot of time.
Here is my challenge.
I run Firefox as my browser and run Google Chrome sometimes and only use Internet Explorer when … (3 comments)

Real Estate Disclosure and Defects, Value of Photographs - 04/20/11 11:18 PM
A friend sent me this article and I believe it worthy of posting to Active Rain. We do not have a lot of people in the construction industry that relate as well to real estate issues.
Sometimes people have to be forced to take responsibility for their own actions.
The culprits in this anecdote made errors and tried to make someone else foot the bill.
There was a quick answer for the problem, and the “culprits” attorney helped his client “get the picture”.
The names and places may be changed or omitted to protect the “Innocent”.
A Picture is worth … (2 comments)

Let My People Go! Open Arizona to Health Insurance Competition - 04/15/11 07:33 PM
This material from Tom Jenney is the best explanation that I have seen relating to Senate Bill 1593 and the effect it will have on health insurance costs in Arizona. I am posting the complete article because Tom has written this thoroughly and completely and I do not want to skip anything important.
Let my people go!
That’s what Moses said to Pharaoh. And that’s what Senate Bill 1593 says to the government-created cartel that currently dominates health insurance in Arizona. During the next few days (during Passover, appropriately), Gov. Jan Brewer faces the decision of whether … (0 comments)

Burro Family near Prescott, Arizona - 04/15/11 03:08 AM
I have several listings in the area of Seligman, Arizona and make the trip from my home in Prescott Valley. These listings are a total change of pace for me and my opportunity to get out of the office. There are wild burros in the area. The area near Prescott and places in northern Arizona have a population of burros that remained after the mines gave out and the miners left.
Prescott started out as a mining town as we had our own gold rush right after the civil war.
I was especially struck by this one as there is … (3 comments)

NAR Dues Increase -- NAR Wants to Raise our Dues for Political SLUSH FUND - 04/13/11 02:27 PM
Have you been paying attention to what NAR wants to do? There is a webinar today and quite a lot of activity to try to get us to go along with their plans. I made a post in 2008 regarding NAR and what I consider to be ethics violations.
I studied the power point presentation that explains what they want to do. In the past NAR has based its campaigning on very superficial real estate issues rather than citing the principles on which we should be making our decisions.
The real estate profession is made up of people who are fundamentally … (10 comments)

The Power of Words and a Positive Message - 04/11/11 03:28 PM
A friend sent me this video. I think it is worth sharing. Please view the video.
The thing that struck me about this video is the power of expressing an idea from a positive sense. The first message conveyed the "o pitty me and help me." The re-written message had a positive sense about it. Recoginzing "it is a beautiful day" first is a positive message. I think that message helps carry the second part. What do you think?
The negative comments that I saw relative to this video was criticising the advertising company on capitalizing on the situation.

Alert to FAKE TEA Party Websites - 04/08/11 01:47 PM
These two websites are fake TEA Party organizations. They use the momentum of the TEA Party movement to collect donations and then they sell the information from the unsuspecting people that donate to their websites. From what I understand, they have taken in close to $300,000 in donations and pad their bank accounts with the $. Please do NOT give them any money and warn people to not sign up on their websites because they will sell their information to who knows who. We want to protect the identities of those that help the real TEA Party groups and STOP www.TeaParty.net … (2 comments)

Our Newly-Elected "Conservative" Congressman Dr. Paul Gosar Disses TEA Party - 04/06/11 05:56 PM
The following is a summary of my meeting with Dr. Paul Gosar on Saturday, March 19, 2011. I had an exciting morning today. Our newly-elected CD1 Congressman, Dr. Paul Gosar held "office hours" this morning. I went, signed in and had five minutes with Dr.Gosar. I mentioned our TEA Party victory at the Arizona State GOP Convention and how proud we were to have toppled the John McCain and Kyle picks for Chairman. He said he was NOT PLEASED about our AZ GOP victory and stated that we are being "divisive." Representative Gosar added that "John McCain is our leader." I told him … (6 comments)

Any Possibility of Giving Us a Way to Post html Directly? - 04/05/11 02:24 AM
I sometimes find it frustrating to have a blog post that I have formatted somewhere else and have it converted to plain text as I paste it into my Active Rain Blog.
I realize that there are some risks, but I don't think it would be an extreme challenge for some of your Active Rain Developers to strip out risky code and allow the simple stuff to pass through.
Does Scribefire help to get around this?
I appreciate any suggestions that might make it easier to post without having to re-code. I frequently make posts that I want to appear on … (5 comments)

Breakthrough Idea for Improving Productivity in Blog Posting - 04/05/11 01:30 AM
I had an idea yesterday that looks like it will have a big payoff in my blogging productivity. I am trying to use less paper, but yesterday I went to buy a stack of 3" by 5" index cards. How archaic is that?
I opened the cards and started to write blog headlines and ideas for blogs that I want to write to get my message across.
When I started the today, I had about eight cards from previous ideas. It is the end of the day and I now have about 20 cards.
Some of the cards are simply titles, … (8 comments)

Huge Victory for School Voucher Program here in Arizona -- Competition to Public Schools - 04/05/11 01:11 AM
We have excellent news from Washington tonight:
The Supreme Court rejected a challenge Monday to an Arizona tax break that directs millions of dollars to private religious schools. The justices, in a 5-4 ruling, said that Arizona taxpayers who filed a lawsuit to block the tax break have no legal claim because they are not forced to contribute to the state program that sends money to the religious schools.
This is a huge victory for private and charter schools, as, in my opinion, these schools are far superior to our public school system in Arizona. They offer serious competition to … (5 comments)

Google Juice, Michele Bachman is in Scottsdale with Tom Morrissey and Joe Arpaio - 04/03/11 01:28 AM
I wanted to see if there was anything from the Michele Bachmann speech here in Scottsdale, Arizona. Our new Arizona State GOP Chairman, Tom Morrissey and Joe Arpaio put the event together. I did a search for Bachmann, Morrissey and Scottsdale. When I ran the google search, my 2-day old post came up #1 and 2 in the organic results. How is that for "Google Juice"?
Ann Heins, one of the speakers at our Guerilla Activism Workshop was at the event. ..Even got her picture with Michele Bachmann.
Bachmann said that there is a buzz in DC regarding our Precinct … (6 comments)

Quang Nguyen Thanks Vietnam Veterans at the Prescott Valley Freedom Rally - 04/02/11 10:49 PM
"You see… America is not place on the map; it isn’t a physical location. It is an ideal, a concept. And if you are an American, you must understand the concept, you must buy into this concept and most importantly, you have to fight and defend this concept."
On Saturday, July 24, 2010, We the INFORMED People sponsored The Prescott Valley Freedom Rally. Quang Nguyen delivered this stunning message. Please tell your veteran friends about his message!
One day I was at a gas station, I saw a veteran pumping gas on the other side of the island. I didn’t … (3 comments)

Arizona Governor Brewer Proposes Fining Smokers, Continues to Pioneer Against the Feds - 04/01/11 06:22 PM
Our Governor, Jan Brewer has made a proposal that is worth considering. In my view Arizona's Medicaid program is in need of some adjustments. This is one to consider. I like the idea of making the Medicare recipients more responsible.
I would also support a bill that would assess or fine drug abusers as they are a burden on our Medicaid system. I will not support the fining for obesity as that is not quite as voluntary as is smoking.
As part of a plan to revamp the state's Medicaid program, Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer announced on Thursday that she is … (6 comments)
