Recommended Podcasts for Real Estate Agents

My recommended podcasts for Real Estate Agents.

I love podcasts. Like many other people (hundreds of thousands of other people) I used to listen to the radio on my drive into work and any time I was in the car.  It was free, it was convenient, it was entertaining.  I first used to listen to whatever morning show was on, 2 guys and a girl blabbering about their super right or left wing opinion on day to day matters, Hollywood gossip, or listener submitted stories about their worst first job.  I eventually feel that I “graduated” to listening to NPR.  They had interesting stories and I wanted to learn more local, national, and world news.  I listened to NPR for years until one day I realized that I couldn’t remember the news stories from the day before.  Shoot, I couldn’t even remember the news story from my morning commute.  I obviously found this to a be a problem.  What was the point in listening if I couldn’t remember it a mere 2 hours later?  It was just entertainment, a distraction on my way to work work so I didn’t have to be left alone with my own thoughts (scary!).

Then I discovered podcasts.  I’ll admit I’m pretty late to the game on this one.  Podcasts have been around for well over a decade and I just started picking them up.  But now I’m addicted.  I love podcasts.  There is so much free information that will you help you grow as a person, grow your business, grow your friendships, and just generally become a better person.  Here is my list of podcasts and specific episodes that I think all real estate agents should listen to.  If you apply these principles to your life you will be a better communicator, have a stronger business, and develop skills you never would have before.

My favorite podcasts to subscribe to

The Art of Charm interviews authors, business experts, and thought leaders on day to day matters to help us improve our ability to be more personable and succeed in life and business.

Startup Camp talks about how to start a business the right way and how to be successful while doing it.  The main theme from Startup Camp is how to make more money with less time.  "But I'm not trying to start a new business" you may say.  Believe it or not, being a real estate agent is your business and the topics discussed here will help you be more prepared to face the daily challenges of running a business.

99% Invisible is very well told stories about the hidden designs of the world around us.  I'll admit this is just pure entertainment but it is high quality entertainment about things you have never thought of before.

The Marketing Genius Podcast is sponsored by Placester, a real estate marketing firm.  They discuss the latest digital marketing trends and interview industry experts (brokers, coaches, technologists) about real estate related topics.

The Agents of Change is a digital marketing and social media podcast that is industry agnostic.  There are many great and actionable tips for boosting your SEO, blogging, video, social media and lead generation.

The Wright Bros Podcast is 2 brothers, both agents, talking about their experiences and advice with real estate.  Sadly, they went on an indefinite hiatus from the podcast in 2016.  I hope they return because their clever banter and real word advice is very useful.

Do you have a podcast you love that you would recommend to someone else?  Tell me about it and I'll look into adding it to the list!

My recommended podcast episodes to listen to

The Marketing Genius Podcast April 20: The Road to $20 Million with Melissa Boucher.  When it comes to advising new or aspiring agents, there are two persistent myths. Some folks say you can start earning right away in real estate. Others tell rookie it’ll be months before they make their first deal. But for Melissa Boucher, the first six months weren’t for making money: they were for learning.

The Marketing Genius Podcast Jan 31: Exceeding Expectations with Brad Allen.  In an industry that runs on commission, it’s easy to see why a lot of real estate professionals are reluctant to make a significant up-front investment in their clients. But in today’s competitive atmosphere, more agents, teams, and brokerages are beginning to see the value of going the extra mile for their clients. Brad Allen is a perfect example.

Gary Vaynerchuck Inman Select 20th Anniversary Keynote speech.  This isn't a podcast but a great video to watch where Gary V. drops some truth bombs about the real estate industry and how you, a real estate agent, can step up your marketing game.  He mentions the state of the social media world and how to leverage it before you get left behind (yes, there is still time to "jump on the bandwagon").  Attention: Gary uses quite a bit of rough language in his videos.

The Art of Charm episode 575 with Tony Hawk: How Did I Get Here? Tony joins us to talk about brand protection, the part he’s played in the recognition of skateboarding as a legitimate sport, what kept him going even through the tough times of Taco Bell and Top Ramen sustenance, how the Tony Hawk Foundation benefits low-income communities, and more.

Agent Caffeine episode 197: How to get more luxury listings.  If you are interested in owning the luxury market you should know qualified buyers are all over the country and as the dollar price goes up that circle of qualified people extends globally. How do you attract those elusive buyers and speak a universal language on behalf of your sellers? With video and strong marketing. We’re going to find out how you can secure more listings by doing high-end video and better marketing for luxury properties. We’ll also discuss how you can get more listings, create more compelling video for less than a Hollywood movie budget in the episode with Mark Fitzpatrick.  Note: this episode talks about some major league marketing for million dollar properties.  A lot of this will probably not pertain to you but there are great suggestions in here about how to attract luxury listings through your marketing.

The Art of Charm episode 574: How to Fascinate.  By the age of 24, Fascinate: How to Make Your Brand Impossible to Resist author Sally Hogshead was already one of the top advertising copywriters in the business. In fact, her work on campaigns for MINI Cooper, Nike, Godiva, and Coca-Cola made her the most award-winning advertising copywriter in the country. But how did she stand out in such a highly competitive industry at an age when a lot of people don’t even know what they want to do with their lives?

Wright Brothers Podcast episode 43: 14 ways to be a stand out listing agent.  Working effectively with sellers is all about improving your listings and building a good reputation. It’s important to remember that your primary goal as a seller’s agent is to sell your client’s house for top dollar within a reasonable amount of time. Toward this end, there are plenty of little things you can do to ensure that your listings stand out and make it easy for your house to sell.

The Art of Charm episode 425: Becoming a person of interest.  A lot of people commodify themselves out of good opportunities because they simply don’t know how to package and sell what they have that’s unique — which can often consist of talents, skills, or bodies of knowledge already acquired in the past. Taught not to look back, they miss the competitive advantage of history.

Startup Camp: 5 steps to building a beautiful brand.  It’s my belief that you cannot succeed in business if you don’t understand the importance of branding. While many think it’s an art, I think it’s a strategy. Today, I have broken it down into a few simple steps.

6 Figure Photography episode 1: How to create persuasive web copy.  Ok, I know this is geared towards photography business, but the notes in here about how to write web copy will take your website and your listing descriptions to a level above every other agent.  NARs tells us that buyers find the listing description the 2nd most important piece of an online listing (the 1st being the images, of course).  Web copy is something that can definitely be improved.

The Art of Charm episode 445: The motivated mindset.  Do you believe that your capacity for learning and doing new things is fixed — especially once you reach a certain age — or does the idea of stepping out of your comfort zone to accept ever-greater challenges excite you with possibilities for personal growth? As Henry Ford was known to say, “Whether you think you can, or you think you can’t — you’re right.”

The Art of Charm episode 450: Steal the show. As Shakespeare said, “All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players; they have their exits and their entrances, and one man in his time plays many parts.” When you consider that we’re called upon to persuade, motivate, and inform others every time we interact by playing a role that’s an extension of ourselves, Shakespeare was pretty spot on. So if we’re playing these roles and performing in some way every day, shouldn’t we give it our all and steal the show?

Startup Camp: Overcoming doubt and finding your calling.  The feeling of being unqualified to launch a business, start a non-profit, or chase a dream is common. But it can be a dangerous place. In this episode Steven Furtick and I close the gap between weaknesses and dreams.

The Art of Charm episode 482: So good they can't ignore you.  Whether we’re employed for ourselves or for others, we strive for a livelihood that occupies our working hours in a fulfilling way. But there’s a lot of noise out there that can stall this quest indefinitely, like all the so-called experts who dole out simplistic — but ultimately ineffective — advice like “follow your passion.”

The Art of Charm episode 515: Deep work.  Cal talks to us about the difference between shallow work — what most of us experience — and deep work — a focused approach that makes us happier, healthier, and more productive — as outlined in Deep Work: Rules for Focused Success in a Distracted World, his latest book.

Startup Camp: The 4 corners of a killer content marketing strategy.  Content marketing is the future of brand influence. We must build a relationship with our audience by providing them consistent, useful content that improves their life. This episode’s guest is a pioneer in this way of thinking and he shares what he’s learned on doing it well.

The Art of Charm episode 526: Grow your grit.  What we accomplish in life depends on our grit — our passion and perseverance for long-term goals. An obsession with talent distracts us from that simple truth.

The Art of Charm episode 545: Pivot.  Career changes seem to threaten our most fundamental needs on Maslow’s hierarchy — food, clothing and shelter — so there is understandably fear surrounding them. However, people need to proactively pivot (within their current role or business or outside of it) or they will get pivoted.

The Art of Charm episode 567: Giftology.  Like a lot of people, you might dread the approach of a loved one’s birthday or the upcoming holiday season because you don’t know how to give thoughtful gifts. But if done well, giving gifts is a great way to deepen relationships, open doors, get promoted at work, and grow sales.

Startup Camp: How to give incredible gifts that gain customers.  I’m going to open up with a pretty harsh statement: Bad gifters are often careless people. Is that you? Are you a bad gifter? Are you the guy or girl who shows your appreciation of others through bad ideas and weak gestures? If so, today’s guest is going to give you a lesson in thoughtfulness.

Do you have a podcast episode that really helped you grow as a person or grow your business?  Tell me about it and I'll look into adding it to the list!

Ahmad Mola Nissi: Arab nationalist from Iran shot dead in Netherlands-Independent

A political activist who founded an Arab nationalist group which sought an independent state inside Iran has been shot dead in the Netherlands, police said.

Iranian Ahmad Mola Nissi, 52, established the Arab Struggle Movement for the Liberation of Ahwaz (ASMLA), which seeks a separate state in the country’s oil-rich southwestern Khuzestan province.

A Dutch police statement said a suspect was detained at the scene of the shooting in The Hague after trying to flee. “His involvement in the incident is being investigated,” it said. “Emergency services were at the scene quickly and reanimated the victim, but he died shortly later.”

Ahwazi Arabs are a minority in mainly ethnic Persian Iran, and some see themselves as under Persian occupation and want independence or autonomy.They say they are deprived of decent living standards and civil rights. In an interview with Reuters in July, Mola Nissi said the movement wanted to “liberate Ahwaz lands and people from the Iranian occupation.”

ASMLA’s armed wing, the Mohiuddin al Nasser Martyrs Brigade, has claimed responsibility for several attacks in Iran, including the killing of two members of the elite Revolutionary Guards in January. Shia Muslim Iran accuses its main regional adversary, Sunni Muslim Saudi Arabia, of funding separatist groups active in Iran, a charge Riyadh denies.

The tyranny of Blue & Pink (a blog from 2013)

I’ve just come back from a local discount store, my arms full of gardening equipment and my head full of questions. While shopping, I overheard a woman speaking into her mobile phone – loud enough for the whole store to overhear.

‘Hmm, I’m still not sure what to get… What about an assault rifle?’
Long pause.
‘There’s one here.’
‘No. It’s made of plastic. It doesn’t fire bullets…’
‘…which I suppose is better.’

Yeah – that’s true. Funnily enough, I don’t really want the Toy aisles stocking working AK47s. Doesn’t seem right somehow.

My daughter is in the Toy aisle of a well known ‘stack them high, sell them cheap’ discount store. The boys’ toys aisle. The girls’ aisle is a row of eye-aching pinkness, stacked with cheap dolls and nail painting sets. The boys meanwhile have Dr Who, Ben 10 and bow & arrow sets.

A few days ago I was walking down one aisle with Isla who said, ‘I don’t want these toys. They’re boys’ toys.’
I explained that there was no such thing, despite us being faced with a long wall of blueness.
I don’t want a Dalek,’ says Isla.
But you’d like a skateboard,’ I say.
She nods.
‘So skateboards are for girls too.’
‘I think I would like a pink one. Look.’
She goes down a new aisle and points out a Hello Kitty Mini PINK skateboard.
‘That’s pink.’
‘Certainly is.’ I am pleasantly surprised to see it lurking amongst all the Polly Pockets and Disney Princesses dolls. ‘Sure you don’t want a blue one?’
‘No daddy. Pink is for girls.’
My daughter’s actually said it. For the past 4 years I have been trying to be gender neutral. She has had Fireman Sam and Cinderella dressing up clothes. A Doctor’s medic set too. There’s a wooden train set, a dolls’ house, a Playmobil Pirate Ship ….

Basically a real mix of toys. Yet Isla now equates pink with girls and blue with boys.

I blame the advertisers – the sort who have have girls lip-synching along whilst skipping about in glittery pink shoes. The sort who show boys playing with transforming cars and girls playing with sparkly pink ponies.

I ask Isla what she thinks about toys for boys and girls.
‘Well, Daddy…a Ben 10 torch is for boys but I like torches and you have a torch so I can use that.’
‘Would a boy like one of your dolls?’
Isla giggles.
‘We could play swing ball. James likes swing ball and I like swing ball.’
‘There are no such things as just toys for girls or boys. You can play with what you like,’ I say, with poor grammar but good intentions.
Isla spies a pump action water gun. It is too much like an assault rifle for my liking.
‘That’s not a nice toy.’
‘But you said it’s for girls too.’
‘It’s for warm sunny days and we don’t get many in Scotland.’
Isla nods.
‘Now what shall we get your friends for their birthdays?’ I say, changing the subject.

I grit my teeth and take two Disney Princess money boxes to the tills. At least they are the Paint-Your-Own variety.

Apparently the birthday girls loved them.

Here’s an interesting study from 2005…

Writing For Girls And Boys – blog post by Alan Dapre, children’s author

Recently, I was browsing in a well-known superstore with my young daughter. She found pink pyjamas decorated with rainbows – ‘For Girls age 7-8’. Then a set of dinosaur pyjamas. Isla turned to me with a frustrated look and said, “I really want those dinosaur ones, but it says ‘For Boys age 7-8’.”

Then a similar thing happened when we walked through a local discount store. The toy aisles were clearly segregated by colour and gender – pink for girls and blue for boys. Isla picked up a blue skateboard then put it down. “They make me think I can’t have it. Why can’t girls and boys share the toys?”

Why indeed?

As I write this blog at home, I am surrounded by Lego models. Some sets are obviously packaged for boys, others for girls. My daughter chose all of them, regardless. “I think boy stuff is cooler than girl stuff. They get to have ferocious dragons and knights and ninjas. Girls just get pretty rainbows and unicorns and lots of pink. Some girls might want to have different colours and have adventures.”

One of my favourite childhood books was The Turbulent Term of Tyke Tiler by Gene Kemp. Tyke takes on the school establishment in an action-packed tale. It was quite a shock to discover the eponymous protagonist was Theodora Tiler. Most of the books I had read up until then featured boys doing all the exciting stuff.

Being adventurous is a vital part of growing up for all children, not just boys. Books should reflect that. My Porridge the Tartan Cat books are funny, fast-moving, action packed adventures that anyone can read.

Twins Isla (named after my daughter, who calls herself Real Isla) and Ross McFun feature in every book of the Porridge the Tartan Cat series and star in two. Both characters are go-getting children, with enquiring minds who courageously work together to solve tricky problems. I chose non-identical twins because I wanted female and male characters who are equal but different. Children with the confidence and freedom to express and exchange ideas. In each book, they take turns to explore, to question and to lead. I’m not writing for girls or boys. I’m writing for girls and boys.

My wife is an engineer – and a great role model for our daughter. Together we encourage Real Isla to try new things and believe in herself. Anything is possible. Last month she scuba-dived in a cage at Deep Sea World and loved every moment. Not every child gets a chance to do that. Or to be in a book like Real Isla. But all children should see characters with identifiable traits, and read reassuring books that show them it’s okay to be themselves. Books that nourish, sustain and empower children to be the best they can be.

By the way, my daughter loves wearing her new dinosaur pyjamas. And I love that she loves them, too.

Arggh. Not another Dad Blog!

My we’re all at it now. Not long ago a few embarrassed Dads were lurking in the corners of Mumsnet or NetMums or whatever Mums-focussed site existed at the time. Everything on the sites was Mum-this and Mum-that, with the occasional nod to Dads.

A few years ago, when I read comments by Mums about Dads they could be broken down into the following categories;

  • Useless Dad – who wouldn’t know one end of a baby from the other, even if it pooed on him.
  • Absent Dad – who wasn’t there for the child and could therefore go to hell in a handcart.
  • Absent Dad – who was there for the child, but only on Tuesdays and Fridays, or whenever ‘the other woman’ let him out.
  • Cool Dad – who could do everything with babies apart from give birth – eliciting pangs of envy from Dads (and Mums).
  • Cocky Dad – who thought he knew everything and ended up handing back a screaming toddler before sloping off to the Pub.
  • Doppleganger Dad – who would act the same as his Dad did – resulting in a child who knows the times tables up to 12 even though everything is in decimal these days.
  • Grumpy Dad – who never seemed to enjoy the time he has with his child, preferring to be on the golf course or watching paint dry.

There were other examples that slipped my mind. Most of the Dad stereotypes centred on Dads being a) useless and b) not as good as Mums.

This was mirrored by adverts on TV where the joke was always on the hapless Dad. I can’t stand those type of adverts – mainly because they are created by all-male advertising agencies who are trying to pander to the female demographic – not realising that women are actually smarter than them – and can see through the product-pushing tosh.

Okay – so why was there such a knocking of Dads on Mum orientated sites?  I suppose the obvious point is that women have been dealt a poor hand over the years. There has been rampant sexism against females who have been repressed at home and work. Even now there is not equal pay in the workplace for qualified women – and I suspect that the ‘glass ceiling’ is still causing quite a few bruised foreheads.

Maybe it was to do with men encroaching into territory where Mums feel they have a natural superiority – borne out of everything that comes with giving birth. Mums know best is often said – probably true, but now Dads were trying to chip in too.

Or maybe it has to do with women being fed up with having to justify themselves, such as always being subjected to glossy magazines – and their depiction of what is ideal in a woman. You know, stick thin twigs with bodies – airbrushed to perfection. Images that men see and wonder why they are not borne out in reality. A woman who has just gone through child birth has enough on without having to worry if her skinny jeans still fit. Which brings me onto Barbie. Arghh!

Tonight my daughter bemoaned the fact she did not have Barbie’s long blonde hair. That hers was ‘rubbishy brown’. I pointed out that Barbie’s hair wasn’t real and felt horrid, whereas hers was soft and a beautiful natural colour.

Barbie. Where do I start?

  1. Barbie has ridiculously small feet that are unbelievably bendy, with a hole in the sole. Ouch.
  2. Barbie’s limbs look like she has been stretched on a mediaeval rack. Her weedy legs are longer than mine!
  3. She has moulded on pants to cover up her dignity. Okay, I get the idea that she has ‘rudey bits’ but such modesty is at odds with her desire to flaunt her boobs. No nipples I note – so breast-feeding is out then, eh Barbie?
  4. Barbie has a freaky wide-eyed stare that implies she is about to go off and boil a few bunnies.
  5. Barbie elicits unreal benchmarks for what is beauty.
  6. Barbie has some words stamped on her back – Ouch again.
  7. Barbie can’t hold things with her hands – she can just karate chop at things.
  8. Barbie’s head swivels 360 degrees which is something I’ve only ever seen in horror films.
  9. Barbie was launched – born – in 1959 which makes her 54. She looks like she has had tons of plastic surgery, but then again, she is plastic.
  10. Barbie is a formidable role model regarding jobs. She has done everything over her five decades. She’s been an Ambassador For World Peace, President, Astronaut, Palaeontologist, Cashier and Cow Girl – the list is endless. Amazing what you can do without any joints.
  11. Barbie is a bully who is distorting my lovely daughter’s idea of what is good in this world. My wee girl is a star!

Ahem. Moving on.

About two years ago, I started my Dad blog with little fanfare. In fact, I wrote a hurried little post that I hoped no one would notice. No one noticed. Seventy five posts later and I get a small but steady stream of readers. I look at other blogging Dads and envy their ability to stick to task. One writes about the practical sides of being a Dad, another about what it is like to bring up children as a widower, another about life with twins, etc.

I tend to ramble on about the funny things my daughter says, or moan about not getting enough books published. If I have nothing to say then I’ll review a book or come up with tips on Writing for children. I suppose I write what resonates with me. I try to have one eye open for the reader but as I feel that I don’t have an audience as such that I am free to witter on any way my keyboard takes me.

But one thing I am proud of is this. I’m proud to be a Dad – and delighted to show that Dads can be sensitive without being weak, kind without spoiling, nurturing without smothering, educational without dictating, and fun. Without fun then parenting is nothing. Mums and Dads should not seek to differentiate each other – we should play up our similarities – how much we love our children, wish them to grow into happy, well-rounded individuals who care for each other and the world about them.

So this is not another Dad Blog. It is my Dad Blog.

I’m the Daddy.

(And Mummy’s fab too!)

I have been suffering a bit of malaise a bit lately as it pertains to SecondLife, as I think many people have, but I do feel mine has been building for a while.  I have never been one to have a large number of friends, partially because of my introverted nature, and because sometimes I tend to get a little laser focused on a project or another and tend to retreat for a while.  I think it’s a hangup or some type of mental problem because it happens both in world and out and it is something that happens without me realizing it.

In Real Life I am lucky because I have some core friends that have stuck with me forever and I’m sure will forever.  While I do have this core, in Real Life I even admitted to someone that the set of friends I have now is most likely the group of friends I will have forever and I think my personality has made it difficult to make new friends.  I am somewhat luckier in Real Life because my friends can see that I am still around, still doing this and that and, I think, more likely to call me up and say ‘hello’ or send me something and that it is not going to bother me or upset me.  They can also see my social awkwardness through my body language a bit and see that I am not the automaton that I sometimes seem to be.

This sort of carries over to Second Life: I have a core of friends that I made years ago and it has not expanded much.  Heck, in Second Life I even have a group of people I watch from afar because I have been afraid to approach for years.   When I first joined Second Life, there was something liberating about being someone else, but I slowly realized (or allowed it to happen, I’m not sure) that although I never told anyone my real name, thus is my mind keeping them separate people,  my avatar was collecting some of my habits and predilections to solitude that I had in real life, and that was never my intention.   I know that I pushed some people away in SL because of my awkwardness.  I did a few things to try and overcome this, from starting this blog to joining Twitter, Flickr and Plurk.  I finally realized that basically none of those tools actually worked and essentially I just did not have that ‘something’ that caused those tools to work the way I wanted, that I was still the loner that I had sort of made myself into.

Recently I tried an experiment: I just stopped.  I stopped blogging for a bit (not that I have ever been a constant blogger), I had stopped posting to Flickr quite some time back, and I stopped posting to Plurk (and I have stopped checking it).  I wanted to see if I was making any sort of impact on the grid.  With two small exceptions, the results were about what I expected (no-IMs, PPs,  etc, etc)*.  I have to admit that I spent about two weeks or so being a little hurt and then a little angry (at myself).

Then I decided I had the power to change such a thing.   I have to admit, it’s tough, but I think all such efforts need to be in order to be successful.  Step one has to be to reconnect with why first got into SL, and it involves Roleplaying (so if you are one of 5 regular readers expect to see some more posts on that in the near future).  Another step involves looking at ways to reconnect and find places to hang out with friends.  I have found that I am just as afraid in SL as I am in RL of walking up to someone and saying ‘hello.’

I might also do something serious with the ‘Introverts’ group I created some time ago.

I think I’ve come to grips with what I am and am now just trying to fix it.  If you are someone I know, I would thank you for your patience.  If you are someone I might have caused some hurt, I apologize.

* I do not blame anyone for this, honest, I have no desire or need for drama.

One comment to “Stuff”

  1. I’ve told you this many times: if you were trying to lose me as a friend, you will have to try much harder! But I have felt some hurt over the distancing you have described. On the other hand, you have always been harder on yourself than I could ever be, so I have avoided adding to your burden. That can be a distancing factor that is my own fault. You have never weaseled on me, you apologize righteously and owning up to what is yours without blanketing yourself with everything. That makes you an extraordinary person to know.

    You may not be the easiest person to get to know but I have way too many wonderful memories to even consider that the effort wasn’t worth it.

    I take this blog as great news. When I saw the Flickr pic of you at Splintered Rock, I was delighted. I think that is a great direction for you to take and leave the gadgets and other things behind. (This is new advice coming from me–I have been guilty of encouraging gadgets and building in the past.) You have a lot to contribute to a roleplaying sim by being a player, something I know you have always wanted to do. I know you can do RP well as long as you stick with just that and not get distracted with fixing some script or building something. Just play, enjoy, be happy.

 Four shot dead in Albania clashes | News | Al Jazeera

Four shot dead in Albania clashes

Four people killed and dozens injured in extensive anti-government clashes with police outside PM's office in Tirana.

    At least three people were killed during the protests in the capital Tirana [AFP]

    Four people have been killed and dozens injured in extensive anti-government clashes outside the prime minister's office in Tirana, the Albanian capital.

    State health officials confirmed the four had died from gunshot wounds during the clashes between opposition supporters and riot police.

    About 30 civilians and 25 policemen and national guard officers were also hurt, the officials said.

    The violence follows months of tension between the government of Sali Berisha, the prime minister, and opposition Socialists.

    Speaking to Al Jazeera, Karolina Risto, chief editor at Albania's Vision Plus TV, said: "Albania is finally calm now after more than six hours of violent clashes.

    "Four people are reported dead, all of them young men among the demonstrations in Albania's capital.

    "The whole purpose of this gathering is because the opposition is accusing the government of stealing their votes in the last election."

    'Tunisia-style uprising'

    Berisha called the protests an opposition attempt to foment a Tunisia-style uprising.

    "The bastard children of Albania's own Ben Alis conceived Tunisian scenarios ... for you citizens of Albania," he said, comparing his Socialist political opponents with the ousted Tunisian president Zine El Abidine Ben Ali

    The violence was the worst since the storming of the government building after the death of a politician in 1998.

    "Albania is not in a state of emergency and will not pass into a state of emergency. But scenarios of violence will not be tolerated," Berisha said.

    More than 20,000 people took to the streets on Friday to demand that Berisha call early elections after Ilir Meta, the country's deputy prime minister, resigned over an alleged corruption scandal earlier this week.

    The scandal broke after a private TV station aired a video allegedly showing Meta asking a colleague to influence the awarding of a contract for building a power station.

    Clashes broke out when several hundred protesters broke away from the main group and started attacking a riot police cordon.

    Chanting "Get out, Get Out," some of the protesters overturned and torched cars, smashed paving stones and hurled them at riot police and reached the steps of the government building.

    Violent protest

    Police responded with tear gas, plastic bullets and water canons.

    As the night fell, hundreds of riot policemen and national guard officers swept through the centre of the capital, beating protesters with batons and detaining dozens of youths.

    Police did not say how many people were arrested.

    In a statement, the US, OSCE and European Union expressed "deep regret" at the violence

    "Violence and excessive use of force cannot be justified and should be avoided. We urgently appeal for calm and restraint on all sides and to abstain from provocations," the text read.

    The statement also renewed a call for "constructive dialogue and compromise to resolve the existing political differences".

    Bamir Topi, the president, urged rival political leaders to start an urgent dialogue to defuse the tension.

    Edi Rama, an opposition leader, also called for calm, but said Berisha should also heed the message from the mass protest. He also appeared to suggest that protests will continue.

    "I assure all of you, we shall continue our struggle in a determined way, because the way out is clear: Either a free Albania for all, or keep the people subdued under the boot or barbaric power," he said.

    The Socialists have accused Berisha's conservative Democratic Party of rigging the 2009 general election, which it won by a narrow margin. The next general election is scheduled for 2013.

    Albania, one of Europe's poorest countries, is a NATO member, and is also seeking EU membership, but corruption is believed to be pervasive and there is widespread unemployment.

Jim Kayes: Young guns pushing for places

So good was Vaea Fifita in his match turning performance against Argentina that it had all the hallmarks of a young Jerome Kaino.

And Nehe Milner-Skudder’s return to the Test arena (his first since the World Cup final) added another to the group of outstanding young wings at Steve Hansen’s disposal.
Milner-Skudder was World Rugby’s breakthrough player of 2015 and he showed why in New Plymouth, quickly back into his stride with 12 carries for 75 metres and the opening try of the match, his ninth in as many Tests.

He is an exceptional player and there is now so much competition for the back three it almost beggars belief with Rieko Ioane not needed in New Plymouth and Waisake Naholo out with concussion.

Remember Ben Smith is now on his sabbatical and there is a decent old logjam of talent for Hansen to utilise as he now builds toward the 2019 World Cup.

There is a path back for Julian Savea, Israel Dagg showed that when he had a horrible 2015, missed the World Cup squad, then got injured but has returned to be a key part of an otherwise reasonably young and inexperienced backline.

At 27 Savea is hardly old but he has a lot of ground to make up against the young turks.

It’s the same for Jerome Kaino. He has won two World Cups and should be remembered as one of the best to have worn the black number six jersey through his 81 Tests. A terrific defender, he also had a turn of pace that belied his considerable size. Kaino was a player others feared.

He, like Savea, could play for the All Blacks again but he too has a fight on his hands with Fifita and Liam Squire impressing in their Tests against Argentina and Australia.

Both are big defenders with good work rates and strength at the breakdown, but what sets them apart is their pace, something the 34-year-old Kaino knows isn’t a key part of his game anymore.

Squire showed that speed in his try against the Wallabies in Sydney. Fifita showed it in New Plymouth with a quite stunning try in the corner to spark the All Blacks’ come back.

It was only his second test and he is still a raw talent, but consider what Hansen said about him before the Pumas match, when he suggested the 1.96m tall Fifita was one of the best athletes he’d encountered.

Hansen was hoping to see that athleticism combined with the core duties of a six at Yarrow Stadium and will have left the ground happy that the 25-year-old delivered.

Fifita’s try was the catalyst for the All Blacks revival after they had trailed the Pumas 15-16 at the break, following a rather muddled first half.
While the All Blacks are unbeaten in the Rugby Championship they are yet to produce a convincing 80-minute performance.

They were superb for about 50 minutes in Sydney before letting the Wallabies back in, and were poor in the opening quarter in Dunedin before rallying to eventually win the seesaw test match.

And they were only convincing in patches against the Pumas.

They dominated possession (60%), made 11 clean breaks as they carried the ball for 607 metres compared to Argentina's 213, and made 13 off loads to the Pumas’ four. Yet somehow they struggled to shake the Pumas till late in the match.

It will concern Hansen, but also give him something to work on as the All Blacks prepare for the Springboks in Albany this week.

That match will probably see return of Sam Whitelock and Ryan Crotty to the starting fifteen but what most All Blacks fans will be waiting to see is who starts at six and on the wings.

We may have seen a changing of the guard.

We Buy Human Part For 12000 – Suspected Ritualists Makes Shocking Confession

The gallant operatives of the Nigerian Police of the Ogun State Command, have apprehended a member of a suspected syndicate identified as Adebayo Mubashiru, has confessed that he and his colleagues buy human parts, including skulls, eyes and teeth, for N12,000.

According to a report by Punch newspaper, the criminal suspect, was arrested along with three others in the Abeokuta and Owode Egba areas of the state by the men

While speaking to journalists, the state Commissioner of Police, Ahmed Iliyasu, who paraded the suspects at the headquarters of the Federal Special Anti-Robbery Squad, Magbon, Abeokuta, said the suspects specialised in killing for ritual purposes, adding that the four suspects belonged to two different ritual syndicates.

He said one of the syndicates, comprising Mudashiru and Rasheed Abass, who resided in the Totoro area of Abeokuta, were arrested on Thursday by operatives of FSARS, adding that the two suspects were sighted on a motorcycle with a suspicious bag by policemen, who were on patrol, and they were stopped for a search.

He said the search led to the discovery of fresh and dried human parts, dead lizards and charms, adding that they were serial killers, adding that two other suspects, Lateef Aremu and Kolawole Shodipo, were arrested at the Owode-Egba area of the state the same day.

Iliyasu said operatives of the FSARS received information about them and trailed them to their hideout, where they were arrested with the human skulls and bones.

While speaking to a correspondent, Mudashiru confessed that he and the second suspect paid N12,000 for the human parts, and denied that they were ritual killers, saying they were looking for how to get quick money.

He said, “We bought all the human parts for N12,000. We are not ritual killers. We want to get quick money by using the parts.”

On his own part, Aremu said, “I am a farmer and a herbalist, I am not a ritual killer,” he said, adding that he had been in the business for almost 20 years, adding that the charms and other items were found on them were meant to help people.

He said he had once told Shodipo to bring human skulls for ritual purposes, which he (Shodipo) did.

Frederick Douglas refused passport

Contact us for information about using this image.

Frederick Douglass (his name is misspelled "Douglas" here) was born into slavery in Maryland. His successful escape to freedom led to his meeting William Lloyd Garrison who hired him to speak against slavery. Douglass' eloquent denunciations of slavery made him one of the most effective proponents of abolitionism. In 1859, Douglass fled from the United States in the wake of John Brown's abortive raid on Harper's Ferry. Brown had approached Douglass looking for his support. Douglass had secretly helped raise funds and helped plan the raid, but refused to join Brown when he realized how poorly conceived the raid was. Nonetheless, Brown kept all the correspondence between them and as a result Douglass, fearing arrest, fled first to Canada and then to England. There, as this news report notes, the ambassador refused to give him permission to go on to France. He did so using the reasoning from the Supreme Court decision in the case of Dred Scott (1857). Chief Justice Roger Taney wrote that "Negroes of African descent," regardless of whether they were slaves or not, could not be citizens of the United States. Although this ruling was widely ignored, it remained in effect until the Fourteenth Amendment was passed in 1868. Frederick Douglass returned to the United States in late 1860 and was not prosecuted. He became an effective spokesmen for African-Americans. He was instrumental in persuading Abraham Lincoln to order the emancipation of the slaves, something he did in his Emancipation Proclamation of 1863.

How to love a Traitor

My Ex-husband used to say, "Let the Games Begin!"  I think after we divorced he believed that pay back was due to me.  He even cursed me, "May you never find true love!"  I think that the games he was referring to were Mobster Mind Games. I believe that seeking revenge against a woman is a sign of cowardice and insecurity.

I have spoken about G. and how I feel he was paid by the mobsters in my reality to treat me in a certain way.  Today, while at work and the shop was quiet I was instructed to look up G on the computer to draw his face.  I did not find his face but, his deceased brother's face did come up in the search.  I started praying and his brother started talking to me.  He said, to be more loving, that the injuries to me have made me stronger and that I am in a good place.  We discussed how G treated me, insulting me in public more than once, treating me as if I were good for nothing but a sexual liaison.

 A. said G. was a mercenary soldier hired by my X and his organization to mistreat me.  He has a social neediness that I have observed which might make him easy prey.

Somehow, I was able to see through to the good person buried beneath the maltreatment.  I am a General in these "games".  I have many spirits that have come to talk to me and be my helpers.  I worry that G. is in a trance, unable to think for himself.  God please help G.

I have a belief that my reads are actually much higher and that the blogger his showing a one when the read is 1000.  This is mainly because I have such an interesting story...

Cute lil' Tooth

Meet the Cute lil' Tooth!

This little guy is another one of those "amis by accident". I was working my own Tiny Totoro pattern tonight and dropped one on the floor and it looked like a tooth laying there. So you know what happened next!

I could have just added the modifications here but decided to make it into a pattern. This way you don't have to flip back and forth between patterns. And once I got writing
I realized there's quite a bit of modification done. You can also use these as keychains

So here we go...
There is a print friendly button at the bottom of this pattern. If you would like to leave a donation please do so by using the donation button also located at the bottom of this pattern. Donations of any size are greatly appreciated and do help me to keep on providing free patterns!

Thank you so much and enjoy!

Read me ~> How to read the rows: Each row has a sequence as given below. Example: 1sc then 2sc in next st means repeat that sequence 1sc then 2sc in next st followed by 1sc then 2sc in next st over and over to the end of that particular row. The number inside the parentheses ( ~ ) is the number of stitches you should have at the end of that particular row.
Read me ~>  Add in a marker at the end of row 2 and move that marker at the end of every row. I just use a short length of yarn and pull it through the last stitch I put in at the end of every row. Work in continuous rounds, do not join. Have any questions or if you come across a mistake in the pattern please leave a message in the comment section below.

Red Heart Comfort yarn White 3130
4.0 mm hook
blunt end yarn needle for sewing
100% polyester stuffing
4.5mm eyes. You can also glue the eyes in with fabric fusion. Or instead of safety eyes you can use paint or sewing thread.
A small amount of thread for the mouth

st = stitch
sc = single crochet
2tog = crochet 2 stitches together
f/o = finish off

Tooth starting at the body working toward the roots:
1) magic circle or adjustable loop with 6st (6)
2) 2sc in each (12)
3) 1sc in next 3st then 2sc in next st (15)
4-5) 1sc in each st for 2 rows
6) 1sc in next 3st then 2tog (12)
7-8) 1sc in each st for 2 rows *you can stuff the body now or wait until the one root is on. You can also add in the eyes now, in between the 4th and 5th row. Just be aware of centering since you will be dividing the body into 2 sections and you want that divide to be right in the center of the eyes.
Now we'll make the roots: (see photos below)
sl st across into the 6th st from the hook. This has created 2 sections. Continue around in the right section with 1sc in next 6st for 3 rows (skip over the sl st). For the 4th and final row of the root put 1sc in every 2nd st then sl st into any front loop and f/o, pulling tight. Gently carry the yarn tail down through the root and into the body to hide it. Reshape the root by pulling on the tip to get it back into shape.
Before starting the 2nd root be sure to stuff the body. I used the back end of a pencil to push the stuffing in.No need to stuff the roots.

click on photos to enlarge them

2nd root:
Insert yarn into the corner then put 1sc in the next 5st. Next pull back the 1st root so it's out of the way and put in 1sc into the corner of the 1st root right in front of where you inserted the yarn to start the 2nd root. You now have 6st in the first row. Now put 1sc in each of those 6st for 2 more rows.  Finish off  with the 4th and final row just as you did for the first root.

  Donations of any size are greatly appreciated and help keep the patterns free. If you do give a donation, please accept this note as my sincere thanks and know that you have helped a great deal.
Many Blessings to you!

Colorado Springs man arrested on suspicion of assault, robbery

A Colorado Springs man is being held in El Paso County Jail after his arrest on charges that he committed a string of robberies in recent weeks. He's also accused of assault on a couple of occasions.

Law enforcement officials say the suspect, 51, used at various times handguns, rocks, knives and lighter fluid in the 13 alleged robberies.

He was arrested early this week and is in jail in lieu of a $100,000 bond.

Police say the man wielded a brick or a rock in more than one robbery to threaten store clerks. In two instances, they say, he sprayed lighter fluid on clerks and then threatened to set them on fire if they didn't allow him to take what he wanted.

Officials say that in more robberies, the suspect used handguns to threaten store employees.

The man was arrested late Monday as police responded to a reported burglary on Alvarado Drive. When officers arrived on the scene, the suspect reportedly fled, but was apprehended soon after.

Law enforcement officials claim the man robbed the following stores:

Arby's on 8th Street
7-Eleven on Delta Drive
Family Dollar on N. Spruce St.
Ruskin Liquors on Airport Road
D&S Liquors on Delta Drive
Clarion Hotel on E. Bijou St.
Coal Train Liquors on W. Uintah St.
Diamond Shamrock on N. Circle Drive
Dollar Tree on S. Academy Blvd.
Conoco on E. Fountain Blvd.

Police say he also attempted several other robberies between mid-April and late May.

As with all other people suspected of crimes, this man has rights that must be protected as he makes his way through our criminal justice system. Unless and until he's proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, he should be considered innocent.

Asceticism, Monasticism, and Christian Discipleship

Asceticism, Monasticism, and Christian Discipleship

September 2016

On the weekend of September 16-18, Fr. Gregory Jensen gave a parish retreat at St. Seraphim Orthodox Cathedral in Dallas, Texas. The theme of the retreat was “Asceticism, Monasticism, and Christian Discipleship.” Fr. Gregory Jensen is a social scientist specializing in religion and personality theory and a priest of the Archdiocese of Washington, D.C. (OCA). He is the author of The Cure for Consumerism in which he synthesizes insights from the tradition of the Orthodox Church with modern social science to craft a clear understanding of consumerism, offer real solutions to the problems, and put faith and economic freedom to work for both the common good and the kingdom of God.

    In this final session, Fr. Gregory presented the ascetical disciplines of prayer, fasting, almsgiving and manual labor as the practical means of Christian discipleship. He also looked at the monastic vows of poverty, chastity, obedience, and stability as the tangible fruits of discipleship.
  • September 28, 2016
    In the second session, Fr. Gregory outlined two very different understandings of freedom: freedom of choice and freedom from sin. Our culture emphasizes the first, the tradition of the Church the second. The personal question we must all ask is what kind of freedom do we desire?
  • September 28, 2016
    In the first session, Fr. Gregory sketched out the call to personal holiness in the Orthodox tradition. He looked at holiness as a personal call to true freedom which comes through obedience to God's will for our lives. Such obedience is only possible if we commit to live as disciples of Christ.

H.264 vs ProRes 422-Why convert H.264 to ProRes codec?

Postby Violet10 » Wed Oct 24, 2012 12:21 pm

2012 Halloween Lowest Promotion-50% OFF Create Halloween H.264 video to DVD on Mac

Breaking News!

Halloween is coming! And now you can get the biggest discount at Pavtube Halloween Special Offer! Just download and try Pavtube Free DVD Creator for Mac to free burn MKV, AVI, MP4, FLV, WMV, MOV, TiVo to DVD for managing, storing, playback or backup etc. If you need to burn high-definition files like MXF/MTS/M2TS/TP/TRP/M2T format, you can try its full version, which have more powerful features, and you can get 50% off now.

One of the most common questions that I get from people regarding the new breed of DLSR cameras is "What's your post-workflow?"

Nowadays the most popular DSLR cameras (e.g. Canon 5D / 7D / 1D) and AVCHD camcorders record footage in H.264 codec. And a common sense is that the H.264 is not really an editing-friendly codec and usually we go from H.264 to Apple ProRes 422 and other less-compressive codecs.

Why do you need to do this?

Well simply put – most software does not support the editing of H.264 footage natively – some do.
Final Cut Pro doesn't – you'll find that it can crash every few minutes – or worst – every few seconds.
You'll find that the video is extremely choppy – and that it can be close to impossible to do frame-accurate edits.

Apple ProRes is a line of intermediate codecs, which means they are intended for use during video editing, and not for practical end-user viewing. ProRes is a lossy video compression format developed by Apple Inc. for use in post production in Final Cut Pro 6 and later on versions (FCP 7 & FCP X). It is a successor of the Apple Intermediate Codec. The benefit of an intermediate codec is that it retains higher quality than end-user codecs while still requiring much less expensive disk systems compared to uncompressed video. It is comparable to Avid's DNxHD codec or CineForm who offer similar bitrates which are also intended to be used as intermediate codecs. ProRes 422 is a DCT based intra-frame-only codec and is therefore simpler to decode than distribution oriented formats like H.264.

Simply put – all you need to do is to convert the native footage from the AVC H.264 format to a format that your computer and software will support. For me it's simple given that I work with Final Cut Studio – I work with Apple's ProRes codec. What this means is that I simply encode H.264 footage to ProRes format that is in higher quality and is less compressed.

So how do you convert H.264 to ProRes codec?

Well, there are MANY ways to do this. You can use Final Cut Studio's Compressor software – I create droplets and drop my files onto them. It's good. But some of you may not own Final Cut Studio… so what do you do? Well I recommend you look into the utility that has quickly become my absolute favorite way of converting my footage:

Pavtube HD Video Converter for Mac ($35)
Image Image

Not only is it extremely easy to use but it's also often faster than Compressor and is much cheaper. Lately I find myself using two codecs most often – Apple ProRes 422 has always been my gold standard, and recently w/ the new FCP Studio I find myself using Apple ProRes Proxy – to do quick edits on my laptop. HQ is too much, takes up more room with zero benefit. But if you want it, and you have the space...do it. Basically I suggest you convert H.264 to ProRes 422.

Detailed guides for your reference:

Convert Canon T4i 650D H.264 MOV to ProRes 422

Encode Canon EOS M H.264 video to ProRes 422

Turn Nikon H.264 recordings to ProRes 422

Transcode Canon 600D H.264 footage to ProRes 422

Compress Panasonic HX-WA20 H.264 MP4 to ProRes 422

All of Chris Sanders music is available for download on most digital platforms.  Chris is not only a #1 HIT Children’s Songwriter but he is also an accomplished songwriter of “grown up’s” songs too.

In October 2016 Angel Star stayed at #1 for almost three weeks on the iTunes Children’s Chart and #8 in the general iTunes Pop Charts.  It was also the 3rd fastest rising NZ Single in the NZ Music Charts the week of release.  Chris also released Angel Star featuring Browns Bay School Choir in December 2016 which also reach #1 where it stayed for about 1 week.

But even though Children’s songwriting is new to Chris, he is no novice in the music scene.

In 2001 Chris co-wrote a song called ’21 and You Changed my mind’. It was the first song he had ever written and it went on to be featured on one of the first ever NZ on Air AC Hit Discs along with artists such as Neil Finn and the Top Twins.

In the years that followed Chris continued to write and secured support slots with Tim Finn (Crowded House), Anika Moa, Golden horse, Evermore, Don McGlashun, Boh Runga and Chris Knox.

In 2007 Chris released his first original CD, an 4 track EP called ‘Home Away From Home’ and in 2013 Chris recorded a single called ‘I Wanna Live Forever’. To Chris’ surprise the song ‘I Wanna Live Forever’ has become a big hit amongst the scientific community and Chris was subsequently invited to perform 2 shows in San Diego at a Scientific conference in August 2016 and is also performing again in San Diego in August 2017.  The shows were a huge hit with over 1000 people attending each show and singing along to Chris’ songs.  “I Wanna Live Forever” also reached Top 200 iTunes Charts in Norway in 2017 after being used throughout a prime time TV documentary.

In 2013 Chris also embarked on a very unique tour of New Zealand.  The 6 date ‘You Beauty’ tour saw him perform inside Hair & Beauty salons in order to raise awareness and proceeds for woman’s breast cancer charity ‘Look Good, Feel Better.’ The tour saw over 1000 people attend raising in excess of $2000 for the charity.

With the arrival of his children Chris began writing music for and about his 2 daughters and subsequently toured Westfield Malls in April 2017 to promote his first book/song Angel Star, also appearing in Whitcoulls stores in those Malls.

Chris is excited to be releasing both a Children’s album and a “grown ups” album later in 2017 with production already well underway!
