Get Schooled: Use Social Personalization Like Higher Ed
Colleges and universities face some unique marketing challenges in the U.S. With more than 3,000 competitors, attracting the right students takes effort and creativity. Even schools that have no trouble "filling the seats" have important enrollment objectives for academic accomplishment, extracurricular skills, and, in many cases, ability to pay. I've written about the need for colleges to differentiate themselves by strong branding (see College Branding, for example). Just about every school is trying to reach students via social media, but a few are taking it to the next level with social personalization and other techniques to create a unique marketing appeal for each potential applicant.
Forget the Viewbook
Does "college marketing" bring visions of interchangeable viewbooks, those glossy pictorials showing green quads populated by attractive, smiling students? Or boring websites designed by committees? Take a look at this offering from St. Bonaventure University. They connect use Facebook to populate this page to personalize the student's site experience: potential student: Becoming Extraordinary. Here's what the home page looks like after you connect with Facebook: That's just the start, though. If you click around the site, most of the content isn't personalized, but every now and then something suprising pops up. For example, if you click on the location icon, the site uses the Facebook info to determine your start point: Another unexpected find is on the Academics tab, where the site grabbed my high school info (cleverly ignoring my undergrad and B-school data) to personalize a popup:
I almost missed what turned out to be my favorite personalizaton "easter egg" – on a whole-page corkboard, there's a St. Bonaventure student ID with my photo and name! This is the kind of visual imagery that can create a brand preference (see Social Personalization and the Doppelganger Effect.)
Some might find the personalization a little too subtle, but I think the fact that it's not as obvious may actually make the site more engaging. Each time I spotted one of these little elements, I experienced a little "aha!" discovery moment. I was encouraged to poke around for more.
Is Psychology in Your Future?
Sometimes, it may not be practical to require users to connect with Facebook, Twitter or other network. Users are understandably concerned about providing third-party access to their information, and may be reluctant to do so unless their is a strong motivator or a high degree of trust. If demanding a Facebook or other connection would depress the number of users who opt for enhanced interaction, simply getting a name can be sufficient.
For example, this personalized video generator for the Adler School of Professional Psychology needs only the student's name to build the student into the short video in a variety of creative ways.
See how you'd look as a future psychologist here.
If you quack like a duck…
The University of Oregon takes a different approach by featuring the prospect as the school's mascot, a duck. The video demonstrates some other interesting forms of interactive personalization. One of the most clever is what appears to be a page from a dictionary that builds the prospect's name into the definition of "duck." At another point, video from a Duck football game is displayed while the prospect's name appears in a crawl display at the bottom of the screen. Become a Duck here.
Note the difference in approach between the two videos. Adler uses personalization in an aspirational, career-oriented way; the prospect can visualize himself helping others, holding a prestigious position, etc. Oregon, in contrast, places the prospect in the university community, with the Duck mascot, the big-time sports references, and visual gags emphasizing that the school would be a fun place to spend four years. Even though neither exploits the photo-based Doppelganger effect, they do provide frequent "payoffs" to the viewers and should hold their attention far better than a typical promotional video.
According to my friend Chris Zahumensky, sales VP at Hobsons (the firm that created these campaigns), higher ed clients report significantly higher engagement with personalized websites, resulting in more inquiries and applications compared to traditional static web content.
These examples are all from the higher ed area, but many businesses can learn from the diverse examples offered here. Social personalization offers some very powerful options, and even traditional name personalization can be transformed from boring to cool with today's technology. If you aren't putting your customer into your marketing, you're missing an opportunity to increase conversion.
[Note: Neuromarketing readers may have noticed that I write about higher ed marketing, college branding, and related topics fairly often. I have a special interest in that area, as eleven years ago I co-founded College Confidential, now the busiest college-bound website. CC was acquired by Hobsons, a unit of DMGT, in 2008. Since Hobsons is a major provider of student recruitment help to colleges and universities, I've had a chance to see not just the student/parent side of things, but also the school side. All of these examples are from the Hobsons portfolio.]

That was fantastic! I'm moving to Eugene right now.

What, and skip the psychology degree? 😉 Quack, quack.

I like this Facebook personalization approach. It's in a subtle way communicating that they "get it" – they kind of get what I'm about, where I come from, they're wired in. That's the impression I get when I visit that site. I also like what they write: "Got a question? Ask a student here." That's fits in this whole concept very well.
Susan Bodiker says 11 years ago
As a former marketing/comms director for a public university, I give your recommendations an "A+." They underscore, once again, the importance of putting yourself in your target's shoes (something that marketers, especially universities, need to be reminded of again and again.) A couple of caveats: viewbooks are the zombies of education marketing. You cannot kill them. Everyone from trustees on down wants them. The key, especially if you're following a smart digital strategy, is to encourage your prospects to create their own viewbook, which ensures they access the information they're searching for and saves paper and postage in the process. The second caveat is to make sure every level of the enrollment funnel is prepared to effectively serve prospects' needs (and understands what you're doing). It does you no good to bring students to the door if you lose them during admissions or after. Recruitment/retention is an on-going marketing process. Finally, the ideas outlined here require resources (staff, time and funding) that are increasingly hard to come by. Many universities may know what they should be doing, but for a variety of reasons cannot follow through.
"The zombies of education marketing" – love that phrase, Susan. And, like zombies, it's kind of hard to tell viewbooks apart!
I'm far from an expert on university governance, but I think one of the challenges is that the institution serves multiple constituencies, and there are multiple influencers in the decision-making process. At Apple, Steve Jobs could say, "Forget that crap, here's what we're going to do." That won't fly in academia, and the marketing that results (confusing websites, generic taglines) are often the result of too many compromises.
Thanks…and you are so right about buy-in!
Dave says 11 years ago
Great post. I was involved in establishing one of the largest graduate schools online back in the day and lately have been working with some undergraduate-focused clients. Most university marketing people don't realize how commoditized the messaging from local and regional institutions has become – especially for adult, non-traditional students (which is the bulk of the population at many of these institutions). They need to get serious about marketing techniques like this to stand out from the crowd. Yes, "buy-in" from the academics is a problem – but the for-profits will quickly move beyond that problem and have the budgets and motivation to do work like this and grab the largest share of these prospects.

Fantastic post. It is great to feel involved and interacted with on a website, personalisation really makes you feel looked after!


So the pool turned green last week. This is only the second time in the fours years I have had it but I can't seem to kill the algae.
I have been using PACE - Clear Shock 99% sodium dichloro-s-triazinetrione hydrated to shock the pool.
So after another two days of adding shock to keep FC close to 30 I finally measured CYA and it looks like CYA is around 80-90.
I read the CYA/shock chart in pool school and it looks like for my CYA level and it looks like I my FC never reached shock level (close to 40). I added another bag this morning and the FC is 48 and CC - 0. I'm hoping to see some progress when I return from work tonight.
First any suggestions on anything else I should do?
Is my shock product adding CYA?
At what chlorine level should we go swimming again?
If I lower FC back 3-5 will my pool still be sanitized with the high CYA levels?
Once I kill the algae should I lower the FC with sodium Thiosulfate back to 3-5 ppm?
Should I drain/refill to lower CYA or will it go down over time?
PACE - Clear Shock contains what we call dichlor. Dichlor is constantly adding CYA. As the CYA level goes up, you need to aim for a higher FC level, which means more shock, which raises the CYA level again. It is a vicious circle which is impossible to win. You need to stop using dichlor. At this point you probably also need to replace some water to get the CYA level down before you will be able to get control of the algae.
As long as your CYA remains 80-90, your daily FC should be between 6-11 according to the pool calculator. Keeping the FC between 3-5 will not keep your water sanitized until you drain and refill to lower the CYA.
If you are using the Aqualogic SWG you have to use something else for shocking, and your CYA is on the high end already.
Shock with bleach as it doesn't add anything else to the water that you don't want in the water (OK, maybe a 'little' salt).
When was the last time that your SWG cell was cleaned?
I'm going to offer a slightly different opinion.
With a SWG, I do not think that 80 or even 90 CYA is out of bounds. And if you are in a lot of direct sunlight to boot, that may even be where you would want to be. If you can keep your FC at about 6, you should be OK. But if nothing else, you definately do not want it to rise further, so stay away from dichlor products. (Bleach is great).
And, your shock target of 30 really should be getting the job done.... And now 48.
1) Even with a CYA of 80, 3-5ppm steady chlorine through a SWG would make formation of algae unusual. Not unheard of... just unusual.
2) That algae surviving days of 30ppm... also unusual. If you were clearing a swamp that had no chlorine input for months and months, I would be surprised not to see SOME color change after a few hours at those levels.
If it were me, I'd turn off the SWG and do an over night FC loss test. If you are not loosing FC overnight, you might be looking at something other than algae.
Otherwise, I would want to make sure that the SWG was working properly, and in the future do at least weekly FC tests.
First thanks for all the helpful responses. I know why it turned green. I got a little complacent and did not check the FC for over a week (vs my normal 2-3 times a week) combined with some rain followed by hot days.
My SWG was clean and running the whole time. The biggest issue was the PACE (dichlor) shock. It was raising the CYA with each bag I added, thereby reducing the effectiveness of the chlorine, so I was never getting to shock levels.
I drained some water and refilled. Throwing a couple of bags cal-hypo shock and running filter for two days did the trick. I am now lowering the FC level using ChemOut to get the water back to a safe wimming level.
I typical only hav to sock the pool about thre times in the summer. I am able to reguate the FC sing the SWG and rarely have a mesureable CC level.

A regularly updated web page, typically run by an individual or small group, that is written in an informal or conversational style. ..
A website containing a writer's or group of writers' own experiences, observations, opinions, etc., and often having images and links to other websites.
It seems to me that some bloggers have few parameters where the subject of their blog is concerned. Maybe they don't need a definition, but my reading time is limited—it's disappointing when I invest myself in words that have no relevance to the subject I chose. Then it occurred to me that I might be guilty of the same.
My gig is "positive words"—too broad and indefinite. A universe of positive words lives beyond the stratosphere; I have no excuse not to leave a contrail to my destination so that readers can predict where a journey with me will take them. This particular blog sets out to do exactly that.
I raised multiple children—some of my own and some of other peoples. For twenty-four years I ran a private children's academy with the highest academic aspirations, and I founded and mentored a character and leadership group for teens. The common thread is the process of training—not only heads, but muscle memory and hearts. As I think about it, all that I've done and tried is much more about training hearts than anything else.
In the new field of neurocardiology scientists have discovered an intrinsic nervous system within the heart—a network of nerves they describe as the "heart brain." It has 40,000 neurons and allows the heart to sense and process information, make decisions, and demonstrate learning and memory. Researchers have also found a gland in the heart that produces hormones and neurotransmitters that affect brain and body function. One of these is oxytocin—known as the "love hormone." There is evidence that the information in the heart's electromagnetic field may play a role in synchronizing the body—to the point that it affects others around us. Read more here.
So… from science-based research like this, from scripture ( i.e. Jer. 3:17; Matt 5:8), and from life experience, I can only conclude that the heart is cognitive and, therefore, makes decisions.
There is much more to explore and learn, but, just as my life has followed this path, so will my blog: the training of hearts. All ages. All kinds. I will emphasize green hearts most often because the less seasoned the individual, the more flexible, but my word journey will touch upon every season and reason that I've known and how to condition the best heart for God and life on this earth.
I have no desire to spit out blogs about the heart's taming, civilizing or rationalizing, and I don't necessarily want to write about happy hearts. I'm looking at this amazing center within us, for ways to fashion its strength and compassion, the core that we wish for our children, our partners and ourselves.
In writing and life, I seek the thinking heart that chooses wisely.
I'm looking at this amazing center within us, for ways to fashion its strength and compassion, the core that we wish for our children, our partners and ourselves.

Should I buy a Rental Property or Invest in Stocks

Should I buy a Rental Property or Invest in Stocks?
Are you confused about whether to invest in a rental property or stocks? Real estate can pay off, but claiming that it is a better investment than investing money in the stock market is naïve. While both choices have advantages and disadvantages, buying a rental property is highly suggested for investors for various reasons. Let us go through the benefits of investing in rental property vs stocks.
Rental Property Vs Stocks
Many people who have traditionally invested in real estate do not trust or care to understand the realm of the stock market, while most stock investors are wary of real estate.
As a result, there are many different views on the stock market vs. rental property, making it difficult for beginners to make a straightforward and fair comparison. It's not a "either/or" situation, and both options are equally valid. The best way to choose is primarily a matter of:
Personal inclinations
Return objectives
Current valuations
Thus in this article, we will compare and contrast real estate and stocks to help you know which investment method is best for you.
Why Should You Buy Rental Property?
To make an informed decision, let us take a look at the benefits rental property brings that stocks do not.
Cash flow is well-known for accounting for a higher portion of a rental property's total return. Tenants pay rent every month and depending on the properties' purchase price. This income may represent an unleveraged return of 5-10 percent.
The cash flow yields can vary greatly depending on the property's quality and location. Still, most investors will seek out rentals with above-average yields (or capitalization rates) to have enough liquidity to cover their mortgage, maintenance and build cash reserves for vacancies while still earning a reasonable return. But that's not all. Properties also appreciate over time.
Stocks, on average, provide relatively little in cash flow (or dividends) to shareholders and rely on capital appreciation for the majority of their returns.
Better Management Control
One of the most compelling reasons consumers invest in rental properties is the ability to live in, touch, and feel them. It's tangible. They intend to renovate these homes to boost their worth and rentals. To put it another way, they want complete control over their investment.
With stocks, you'll have to rely more on intermediaries and management teams to run the business on a day-to-day basis. It generates a "primary agent" risk, which many people are hesitant to take.
It all depends on your personal preference:
Earn passive income, but you'll have to rely more on other parties.
You will control your finances, but you will be required to do more managerial duties.
If you have the passion and expertise, you'll probably do better with the second option.
Building Wealth through Leverage
It is easier to secure a long-term fixed-rate mortgage with a low interest rate to fund most of the rental operation. Rental investors frequently use this strategy to optimize returns, and it can involve up to 4-to-1 leverage. It can lead to excessive risk-taking; but, even with a more appropriate 2-to-1 leverage.
If you can finance your rental property at 2-to-1 leverage, pay a 3-4 percent mortgage rate, and acquire a 7-10 percent yielding property with a 3 percent annual appreciation potential, you will have annual returns that considerably beat the stock market indexes. The average annual returns in this situation would be closer to 15 percent.
Stock investors can also use margin to leverage their stock investments, but this is a much riskier strategy because,
Margin debt does not have the same favourable terms as mortgages
Stocks are not as consistent as rentals
The underlying companies are already relying on debt to fund their operations.
Taxation Benefits
It's difficult to deny that rental properties are more tax-efficient than stock investments when it comes to taxes. Rental investors can depreciate their properties from the first year onwards, lowering their revenue with a non-cash charge. They can also deduct all other property-related expenses from their income, including interest. The amount of taxes a rental investor pays will vary depending on the circumstances, but many investors can earn cash flow thoroughly tax-free.
Stock investors will not benefit from depreciation and may face a higher tax burden, but they can take advantage of tax-deferred accounts.
Purchasing a Rental Property vs. Stocks: What's the Risk?
Risk is highly subjective, and how one assesses it will differ from one investor to another. According to stock investors, rental properties need a lot of effort, tenants may damage the property, rents may go unpaid, and you may even be sued.

On the other hand, Rental investors will warn you that stocks are exceedingly volatile, that you have little influence over them, and speculators dictate that market performance.
Both of these are essentially right, and it all simply comes down to the investor's personal preference. However, from a risk standpoint, rental investors have two substantial benefits versus stock investors:
Rental revenue is reasonably steady and reliable. Because it is vital to have a roof over your head, rental investors are likely to profit even during the recession.
Rental properties are particularly effective inflation hedges. As replacement costs rise, the property's value is connected to inflation, and the tenant's rent is increased upward.
Stocks can also deliver these benefits, though usually to a lower degree or in a less direct manner. So you know now that you should buy a rental property instead of investing in stocks.
We at Sigma Properties advise you to take this decision exclusively based on your risk tolerance and the expected return on your investment over the next ten years. Not everyone is suited to rental investment. They necessitate more significant effort and accountability, as well as being less liquid. However, there is no doubt that more entrepreneurial investors who are prepared to put in the work have an ultimate chance of earning more superior returns.
2021 is one of the few times in history when the conditions for holding both stocks and real estate at the same time have never been more vigorous. The real estate sector in 2021 will flourish because of the after-effects of the pandemic, so if you own properties, you'll be in a great position to own an asset that will always be in demand for many years to come.

ICHS Islamabad Payment Plan
Bookings begin at PKR 50,000 as a down payment, according to the ICHS Town Price Plan. The prices of the plots started at PKR 680,000. Initially, the majority of plots were only open to those who paid in full.
Following a rethink, a limited number of plots of 5 Marla, 7 Marla, 10 Marla and 1 Kanal are currently available on a 14-month instalment plan.
The latest payment plan is as follows:
Both corner plots and plots on Main Boulevard will be charged an extra 10% premium over the scheme's estimated rate.
Residential plots are only allotted for residential purposes, and non-compliance with this definition would result in the allotment being cancelled.
Government and semi-government workers, Overseas Pakistanis, retired Pakistani officers, disabled, widows, and orphans shall receive special discounts from the housing society.
Plot Possession
In the first phase, the society shall grant plot possession in 6 to 10 months; however, the extension block would take longer because it is a new block, the construction work and other formalities would take time. Until handing over ownership of the plots, the housing society's management is asking for two to three years.
The phase 1 of the construction is nearly complete, with 50 percent of the work completed on sewerage pipes, road networks and electricity lines. But the construction work in phase 1 is extremely slow; it will take at least 2 to 3 years to complete the earthwork alone.
The rate of growth in ICHS has been sluggish in recent years, but since the opening of the New Islamabad International Airport, the society's management has picked up the pace significantly. The increased economic development in the area as a result of the CPEC Route passing close to this society has opened several doors and attracted a large number of developers and investors.
The recent development in the area has resulted in higher prices in society. Water, gas, underground power, and telephone lines are all installed. The carpeted roads that link all parts of the society, as well as the state-of-the-art 160-foot-wide Main Boulevard, have been completed. The main entrance gate and the boundary wall that surrounds the housing project have also been completed.
The solar lights on the Main Boulevard have been installed to make the housing society more environmentally sustainable. The region is also equipped with a water and sewerage disposal system. As previously stated, all of the construction, when combined with the amenities provided by the project and the modern infrastructure, increases the value of property for its residents at reasonable rates.
The market trend has shifted dramatically as a result of the rapid urban migration. The cost of living and doing business in the Twin Cities is rapidly rising. As a result, the establishment of lodging societies like ICHS is critical for the middle class consisting of the low-income citizens.
It is recognized as one of the most cost-effective housing schemes in the Capital's vicinity. It plans to house 35 to 40 thousand people while also supplying them with modern amenities and services.

to make plans to escape from the power of the Prince of the Air. But this did not prove easy, for the magic stone would only serve for one person at a time, and in order to save Rosalie the Prince of the Golden Isle would have to expose himself to the fury of his enemy. But Rosalie would not hear of this.
The Prince of the Air returned a few days later from his mother's palace, but the Invisible Prince had already set out. He had, however, entirely forgotten the road by which he had come, and lost himself for so long in the forest, that when at last he reached home the Fairy had already left, and, in spite of all his grief, there was nothing for it but to wait till the Fairy's next visit, and allow Rosalie to suffer three months longer. This thought drove him to despair, and he had almost made up his mind to return to the place of her captivity, when one day, as he was strolling along an alley in the woods, he saw a huge oak open its trunk, and out of it step two Princes in earnest conversation. As our hero had the magic stone in his mouth they imagined themselves alone, and did not lower their voices.

Blackbeard's Castle is one of five National Historic Landmarks in the U.S. Virgin Islands.  It is located in the city of Charlotte Amalie, on the island of St. Thomas. Erected in 1679 by the Danes as a watchtower to protect the harbor as well as Fort Christian, Blackbeard's Castle was originally called Skytsborg (meaning protection castle). It is located at the highest point of Government Hill. Skytsborg served as a very effective vantage point for Danish soldiers to spot enemy ships. Fort Christian is at sea level, thus making it ideal for thwarting attackers with cannon fire; however, the fort itself did not provide an ideal view of incoming ships entering the harbor.

It is not known what year Skytsborg took on the name of Blackbeard's Castle, but the infamous Edward Teach, commonly known as Blackbeard, did sail the Caribbean waters in the early 18th century.  It has become part of the lore of the island that he used the tower as a lookout for his own purposes of piracy.  It was the centerpiece of a private residence for many years, and was turned into a hotel, but is no longer open to the public.

Today was my first studio presentation of the year so I chose this collared shirt this morning before heading out to add some professionalism. I think you can get away with something as grungy as Doc Martens as long as you maintain a certain level of polish with the rest of the look. After class my friends and I popped into H&M (which we do far too often...) and I picked up this statement necklace and wore it out of the store. I felt like my outfit called for just one more detail!


There are various reasons why elders need to use the right supplement to stay fit and active. There are a number of different kinds of products that you can invest in, however if you want to stay fit and healthy then one of the best things to do is to invest in the AMPKActivator which is a highly recommended supplement for all elders. One of the major reason why investing in this supplement is a good idea is because it has been designed for the elders which means that it helps their bodies in the best possible manner.
After a certain age the metabolism levels begin to slow down. With the use of this supplement their metabolism increases and this helps them to feel active and young. It also provides them with some of the best nutrients that are needed on a daily basis. A lot of times elderly people lose appetite and this is a great way to provide them with all the nutrients needed.
One of the best things about the AMPK Activator is it has anti inflammatory properties. One of things that people struggle with is muscle pain and joint pains. There are a number of people that are looking for the right solution to get rid of the pain. When you struggle with this pain, it becomes very difficult to move around and even complete your basic daily activities. Once the pain gets worse, it becomes difficult to even move around. The AMPK Activator helps to subside the pain and even the muscle stiffness will go away. The best part of the AMPK Activator is that you will be able to get rid of the pain completely from the root. This means that this pain will never recur ever again.

LG Apex (photos)
Check out CNET's hands-on photos of U.S. Cellular's latest Android device, the LG Apex.

LG Apex (U.S. Cellular)
The LG Apex is the latest Android phone in U.S. Cellular's smartphone lineup. It's a mid-range Android 2.1 device with an affordable price of $49.99 after a $100 mail-in rebate.
Compared to other QWERTY slides, such as the T-Mobile G2 and Samsung Epic 4G, the LG Apex is rather compact. It measures 4.57 inches high by 2.22 inches wide by 0.62 inch thick and weighs 5.39 ounces. The smartphone feels solid and also has a soft-touch finish on back.
Despite the D-pad on the right side, we found the Apex's keyboard quite easy to use. The buttons are an adequate size with decent spacing, so we didn't have too many mispresses. We also appreciated the dedicated number keys.
Left spine
On the left side of the phone, you will find a volume rocker and a Micro-USB port. Meanwhile, the right spine features a microSD expansion slot and camera button.
A 3.5mm headphone jack sits atop the device. The Apex's power button is located below the display with the End key.
The LG Apex has a 3 megapixel camera with LED flash and autofocus. The camera offers a number of editing options, including ISO settings, white balance controls, and color effects.
Picture quality was OK. Images taken indoors were a bit dark and grainy, but we could still make out the objects in the photo.

One of the key private sector industries leading the United States in job recovery are restaurants. According the National Restaurant Association the restaurant industry has added more than 560,000 positions in the past 24 months. 200,000 of those jobs were added in the past six months. Even in the most recent monthly jobs numbers released Friday by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, restaurants led the way in job creation, adding 37,000 positions, the same number as the manufacturing sector.
"The restaurant industry strongly contributes to the health of our nation's economy by driving job growth across industry segments and providing rewarding career and employment opportunities for millions," Dawn Sweeney, president and chief executive of the NRA, said in a statement.
Current restaurant employment levels stand at more than 180,000 positions above the industry's pre-recession peak, the NRA added. For the first time on record, restaurants added more than 100,000 jobs in two consecutive quarters. Positions grew by 101,400 in the fourth quarter of 2011, and by 103,100 in the first quarter of this year.
For more than a decade, restaurant employment growth has outpaced national job growth according to the NRA. For the 12 months ended this past March, eating and drinking place employment rose 3.2 percent, compared with 1.5 percent in national job growth during the same period. The NRA projects that restaurants will add 1.4 million jobs over the next decade, reaching 14.3 million.

Discussion in 'Mac Accessories' started by thumb, May 1, 2009.
over on engadget today was this article, setting up a dual band (for those that havent yet bought apples new extreme).
I have a question about doing this.
will doing this dual band set up essentially mean i have two independent networks?
I would like to have my printer, mini, and wireless music appear on all set ups.
As somebody running a dual band network made of a first gen TC and Linksys WRT54GS, I can tell you that all devices will be able to communicate with one another. It does set up two separate SSIDs (and in essence two networks), but since they are on the same subnet they act as one. My Linksys is running in bridge mode, so the TC's doing all the routing and the Linksys only serves as a wireless/wired access point for wireless b/g and ethernet connected devices. I have an ethernet printer, multiple N and G devices, and multiple ethernet devices connecting to both routers and being able to communicate and share networked resources.
