We, the rainers have made the site such a success posting every different history and news. A slow RE market in 2007, helped us to pursue in writing with the hope of reaching consumers and educate them with topics like foreclosures, short-sales, tips for fast selling, you name it. And it worked !! They've reached us.

Yes, the right word is NETWORK- Real Estate Network- and we did it. We did NETWORK'd. We did it Active Rain THANKS TO AN INCREDIBLE SITE.

Results for the word NETWORK NETWORK " an association of individuals having a common interest, formed to provide mutual assistance, helpful information, or the like: a network of recent college graduates" "to cultivate people who can be helpful to one professionally" "to distribute widely"

And we did " NET " the Internet + "WORK " effort directed to produce or accomplish something; labor"

Let me praise your work AR and again THANKS

Today I feel writing about some more personal stuff. All my friends know I am a Capricorn - and my birthday was last Sunday January 20- Thanks!

Getting involved with Feng Shui Real Estate and Chinese astrology somehow- thanks to Carole Provenzale- - I'd got interested in what the astrology bring in for all Capricorn's this year-

Are you a Capricorn too? Fasten your seat belts and listen to these predictions- they're awesome!!!

Pluto is about to make a stunning move out of Sagittarius and into Capricorn on January 25. Pluto is associated with power and money, as well as with complete regeneration and renewal. As the planet farthest from the Sun in our solar system, Pluto has the slowest orbit around the Sun and therefore spends the longest time in each sign and house of the zodiac. That allows Pluto to make a truly indelible impression as it travels through a house - in your case, your 1st house of personality and personal desires, determination, and dreams.

The 1st house is always the most important for it is the engine that drives the whole chart. Astrology is not destiny, so it will always be up to us to use the cards we are dealt each year, but this year, you are holding all aces.

You have never experienced Pluto in Capricorn, and neither has anyone else who is alive today. The last time Pluto was in Capricorn it was 1762 to 1779. Indeed, many astrologers feel that Pluto in Capricorn was instrumental in creating the forces that led to the American Revolution! Pluto's job is to look at the foundations of things and to tear down any that appear to have developed cracks or serious fault lines in their structures.

When big, powerful outer planets first enter a sign, they make an appearance, retreat back into the old sign in retrograde, and then return to the new sign to stay. This gives you a preview of what's to come and time to get ready.When Pluto enters Capricorn on January 25 he will back into Sagittarius in June. However, he'll come back into Capricorn in the last week of November 2008, and when he does, Pluto will remain in your sign until 2023, fifteen years.

Pluto's influence will be to strengthen you from the inside out. You'll plumb your depths during his stay with you and you'll discover a deep and abiding passion for the endeavors that you take on. As a Capricorn, your motivation and ambition to succeed has always been high, but now it is about to become sharpened, focused, and intensified. Your ability to persuade others will become more effective too, for you won't take "no" for an answer. Give your ideas a passionate push, dear Capricorn, for the life ahead of you is about to improve radically. With Pluto, the master of transformation, now starting its headline-making move into Capricorn for the first time since the beginnings of the American Revolution in 1762, absolutely nothing will hold you back.

Sorry, but I could not resist the good news - and I had to share them with you all.
