      <title>Has anyone else had trouble uploading video using Windows Vista?</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Has anyone else had trouble uploading video using Windows Vista?&amp;nbsp; Because I sure have.&amp;nbsp; I had been trying to publish a video to our website (&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.terryconnelldavis.com&quot;&gt;www.terryconnelldavis.com&lt;/a&gt;) that&amp;nbsp;was created as a &quot;.mov&quot; (quicktime)&amp;nbsp;file with no success,&amp;nbsp;tweaking multiple variables along the way trying to reach a solution before I pulled out my last hair.&amp;nbsp; Finally, today, I switched to a computer using Windows XP instead of Windows Vista as the operating system, and voila, it finally worked.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My question to y'all&amp;nbsp;is, do you think it was just an issue with Vista?&amp;nbsp; Has anyone else had a similar problem?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks for any input.&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;GOOD NEWS FOR THE CHARLOTTE NC MARKET - 1/1/08&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;by Chris Turner, Lead Specialist - The Terry Connell-Davis Team&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;Hello Everyone!&amp;nbsp; I hope you all had a bright Hanukkah, a blessed Christmas, and are looking forward to a happy and prosperous New Year.&amp;nbsp; By way of introduction, my name is Chris Turner and I have recently joined the Terry Connell-Davis Team in the position of Lead Specialist.&amp;nbsp; As such, it has been entrusted to me to update you periodically with items I find of particular interest pertaining to your ongoing success and well-being in the housing market.&amp;nbsp; With that said, let&amp;#39;s get right to it!&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Below is a selection from a recent article in &lt;em&gt;The Charlotte Observer&lt;/em&gt; entitled &amp;quot;Charlotte bucks U.S. in rising home prices&amp;quot; (Norwood, Dec. 27, 2007).&amp;nbsp; I thought this article was worth sharing because, despite what you might hear on the news, all is not lost in the housing market.&amp;nbsp; In a few areas of the country, the market is actually thriving.&amp;nbsp; Charlotte, North Carolina&amp;nbsp;is one of those areas.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;quot;Charlotte&amp;#39;s home prices rose 4.3 percent in October compared with the same month last year - more than in any other city in Standard &amp;amp; Poor&amp;#39;s/Case-Shiller home price index.&amp;nbsp; Just two other cities, Portland, Ore., and Seattle, saw increases.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;quot;Overall, home prices in the index of 20 metro areas fell by 6.1 percent from last October.&amp;nbsp; Miami and Tampa saw the biggest price declines, with dips of 12 percent.&amp;nbsp; Detroit, Las Vegas, Phoenix and San Diego also posted double-digit declines.&amp;quot;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;The article went on to say that this rise in home prices can be linked to Charlotte&amp;#39;s steady population growth over the last years, our strong economy, and an increase in the number of jobs created.&amp;nbsp; And it&amp;#39;s true.&amp;nbsp; Charlotte and the surrounding area provide many opportunities for those looking for a change.&amp;nbsp; Lower taxes, reduced cost of living, the convenience of an up-and-coming city-that just happens to be a banking hub-coupled with the quiet charm of the rural South, all are factors that draw newcomers to our fair city. &amp;nbsp;And, for any buyers who might be wary of a town with &amp;quot;increasing home prices,&amp;quot; it bears stating that even with the steady price increase, the cost to buy a house in the Charlotte area is still significantly less than in other metro areas throughout the country.&amp;nbsp; What&amp;#39;s more, the suburbs of Charlotte, most just a few minutes away by car, are also growing.&amp;nbsp; Weddington, Matthews, Monroe, Indian Trail, and Waxhaw, just to name a few, are fast becoming the venues of choice for new Charlotteans to call home. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In our office at Keller Williams Realty in Union County, we are looking forward to meeting many of these new Charlotteans in 2008.&amp;nbsp; If you would like more information on Charlotte and the surrounding area, please feel free to contact us via our website at &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.terryconnelldavis.com/&quot;&gt;http://www.terryconnelldavis.com/&lt;/a&gt; and we will be happy to assist you.&amp;nbsp; Thanks for reading and once again, Happy New Year!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
