I Learn Something New at ActiveRain Every Day and It's Time I Showed You. October 7th to October 13, 2012.
I learn something new every day at ActiveRain! With this series I try to highlight one post per day that gave me that “lightbulb” moment. It could be something techie, about Real Estate, about a place or person!
October 7: Kathy Sheehan USDA -It’s Not Just For Grading Meat-Updated
If you’re like me, when I heard the initials USDA, I thought of meat and dairy. Not so.. read Cathy’s post to learn more.
Marie Graham In the Nice and Pretty Rut? Try OneLook Reverse Dictionary.
Marie is right. Without having my writing sound too contrived, I still like using different words to convey a thought. Try out this OneLook Reverse Dictionary! 
October 8: Sally & David Hanson OMG...Giving is Its Own Reward...And Sometimes...You Get Lucky.
I have decided that good things do happen to people who don’t want them. Sally & David seem to have their code for life in place and I think we could all take several pages from their book.
Ana Hitzel To Mulch or Not to Mulch
I love mulch and recommend it when providing a Staging consultation. Ana gives some good advice on just how to use it. I didn’t know about not placing the mulch right up to the tree trunk. Glad I read this.
October 9: Tim Maitski Are Meta Tags Copyright Protected?
Now we all know to go to Lenn Harley for copyright information but I wonder what the answer is for this one?

As they say, it’s that time of year again and the common cold is there just waiting for us. Ashley and Eric have a list of foods to help avoid it. 
October 11: Gabe Sanders Ultra-thin Batteries Coming Soon
Even with cell phones getting bigger and now some slimmer, look at this ultra-thin battery. Just think of where it could be used and it’s just around the corner.
October 12: Rebeka Fluet The Evolution of the Business Card
I love Infographics, and combine that with showing the evolution of something and I’m all in. Take a look and also give a welcome to ActiveRain to Rebeka.
October 13: Ginny Gorman Halloween Trivia or Tricks
What I knew about Halloween was candy and pumpkins. But isn’t it fun to learn the origins of a holiday? Read Ginny’s trivia and you’ll be a hit at your Halloween party.
Sally Weatherley Vancouver Home Stager's Highlights of the IDS West Show 2012 Part 1
I love it when Sally Weatherley shares with us her photos of the latest in design. And, it’s not just the pics but her commentary. Travel to her site to see the latest.
Thank you for letting me do what I love to do each day... learn something new!
