What Does it Take to Sell a Home Without a Real Estate Agent?
It's a big temptation for sellers: should we sell a home without a real estate agent? In today's real estate market sellers are considering FSBO (For Sale By Owner) more and more as a means to cut cost and increase their bottomline. But the risks are high, and it may end up costing you more in the end when you sell a home without a real estate agent. It's not a decision to take lightly, so before you decide to sell a home without a real estate agent consider these questions.
Do I know How to Price My Home to Sell?
Seems like an easy question. But, in today's market setting the right listing price can mean the difference between selling a home or being left with an expired listing. Even worse, setting the wrong listing price can lead to selling the house for less than you could have.
To sell a home without a real estate agent, sellers must research data and reports of recent sales in the area to determine how much comparable homes, or "comps," are selling for. This requires analysis of market conditions, timing, days on market, listing price versus selling price, and a load of other factors. Deciding to sell a home without a real estate agent is a huge time investment. And unfortunately FSBO time spent doesn't always equate into dollars.
When you sell a home without a real estate agent you run the risk of listing the home too high, leading to little interest, or an interested buyer who can't secure a loan. Prospective buyers using a bank loan rely on bank appraisers to assess the home's worth, and if this comes in less than you've asked for it's likely you won't be able to sell at that price. This is where the right realtor makes a difference. For example, in addition to synthesizing local real estate market reports daily to know the selling trends in Norwell, Hingham, Hanover and other South Shore communities, Capital Residential provides a third-party appraisal as part of our value-added service to clients. It gives our clients a sense of security knowing that the listing price matches the home's true worth, and is the first step in securing solid offers
Am I Prepared To Take on the Role of Realtor?
When you sell a home without a real estate agent you are, in essence, taking on two roles: home seller and realtor. Before you decide to sell a home without a real estate agent ask yourself if you're prepared and willing to perform the following tasks as a FSBO:
- prepare and provide documents, forms, and disclosure packets to interested buyers and their agents
- answer questions about documents
Show the House:
- arrange individual walk-throughs of the property
- provide a lockbox
- take interested buyers with no real estate representative on tours of the home
- coordinate open houses including weekday open houses for real estate brokers and weekend open houses for the buyers
- order and arrange exterior signs, set the home for the tour
Screen Buyers:
- check that interested buyers are pre-approved to purchase the home (this is extremely important. Banks are requiring proof of higher salaries and sizeable down payments before giving pre-approval on mortgages). Even if it's uncomfortable, when you sell a home without a real estate agent, you must be willing to ask interested buyers for proof (a reputable pre-approval letter) of their ability to buy the home
- review offers on the house from interested buyers
- evaluate offers for acceptance, rejection, counteroffer
- actively secure backup offers
- negotiate with the buyer's agent until the purchase contract is complete
- coordinate with the buyer's agent throughout the escrow period, making the house available for inspections and appraisals
- consider reductions in purchase price due to repair issues revealed during inspection
- work with buyer's agent to determine the percentage of the home sale the agent will receive (buyer's agents expect a percentage even though you've decided to sell a home without a real estate agent)
- attend the closing
There's a lot of leg work, paperwork, running around, and details that have to be managed when you sell a home without a real estate agent. And with so many factors at play and people involved, issues pop up that need to be addressed. The advantage for seller's to work with a qualified realtor is that the seller doesn't have to worry about any of these details or how to work through issues when the arise. At Capital Residential we've been through the process countless times, we know what to expect, and when issues come up we are prepared to deal with them professionally and always in you, the seller's, best interest. There's no second-guessing along the way because this is what we do. We have years of experience working with sellers, buyers, agents and attorneys, and will guide you through the process, start to finish. We'll take care of the details, so you can concentrate on the move.
Do I Know How to Market a House When I Sell a Home Without a Real Estate Agent?
Part of a realtor's job is marketing, and when you sell a home without a real estate agent all of the selling strategy falls on the FSBO. Direct mail, newspaper advertisements, MLS listings, web listings on the major online home search sites are just a few of the facets of marketing that realtors use when listing a house for sale. It requires home staging, taking quality photos of the interior and exterior of house, submitting the home and its details to MLS (which costs a fee,) working with the newspaper to produce and run ads, and more. Today's buyers expect to find out a lot about a home for sale right at their fingertips so if your home has little marketing prominence chances are you'll get zero interest. There's a lot of competition among sellers and a weak marketing plan really lowers your shot at a sale.
Often when sellers work with realtors some of these marketing aspects are part of the service. At Capital Residential we customize a complete marketing strategy for selling your home. It's a robust campaign that combines traditional advertising and the latest social media platforms so that your home has a prominent and strong presence with potential buyers. We stage and design your home, we take professional photos of your property, we shoot video of your home to upload as virtual tours online, we submit MLS listing, we feature your property on all the major home search sites, we run ads in papers, we network with buyer agents and encourage tours with well-matched buyers, we promote your listing on our capitalresidential.com web site, our facebook page, and twitter, and more. There's no end to the marketing we do for our clients.
So Should I Sell a Home Without a Real Estate Agent?
The process to sell a home withouth a real estate agent is an extremely time-intensive undertaking, and there's no guarantee the house will sell. And even if it does sell, there are many instances in the process where the seller can lose out on money if the deal is not negotiated well. It's risky to sell a home without a real estate agent, and in this real estate market it doesn't make a lot of sense to take that chance. Selling a home with a qualified real estate firm such as Capital Residential provides security that your home will be listed at the right price and promoted actively and professionally to buyers. And when qualified buyers make solid offers, you can be confident that we'll manage and negotiate the closing process.

I am happy to answer your questions and work with you to set a real estate strategy for selling your home in today's South Shore market.

OSSIPEE— The man convicted in the near-fatal beating of a toddler will spend up to 55 years in state prison. "For the emotional and physical pain he caused to my son and family, I believe Justin Roy should serve life for the scars and emotional damage my son will carry for life," Edward Skidgel Jr., said through sobs at the 34-year-old Roy's sentencing hearing in Carroll County Superior Court Tuesday. Roy was charged with taking his then-girlfriend's son, Strider, 2 1/2 at the time, into a work shed in the middle of the night and beating him, causing life-threatening injuries to his abdomen, and bruises and burns to other parts of the boy's body in December 2011. Strider and his brother, Gallagher, are now in the custody of Skidgel, their biological father, and living with grandparents Lanette and Larry Grant in Maine. Roy, formerly of Albany, was also convicted of assaulting Strider's older brother, Zander, who was 7 at the time, by jumping on his legs and pushing him into a coffee table. Zander is living with his maternal grandmother and step-grandfather in New Hampshire. While he did not take the stand in his defense during trial, Roy addressed Judge Steven Houran prior to sentencing. "I never wished the children ill will; they didn't deserve what they got," he said, adding that there were "a lot of things not touched on" during the trial. "There is a lot more to this story that needs to be brought out." "This has been a living nightmare. Never in a million years I thought I would find myself in these shoes," said Roy. Prosecutor and Deputy County Attorney Susan Boone requested a sentence of 27 to 64 years; the defense recommended 12 to 25 years. After Roy's statement, Boone said Roy was declaring himself a victim. "The defendant may not appreciate how close he came to the death penalty if that little boy had died," she said. The victims' mother, Heather Downs, has pleaded guilty to one count of endangering a child and one count of witness tampering. She testified for the state during Roy's trial. She is scheduled to be sentenced April 8. Roy, represented by public defenders Wade Harwood and Howard Clayman, was found guilty Feb. 4 on a total of 10 counts, including felony kidnapping, criminal restraint and first- and second-degree assault. Judge Houran said Tuesday one statement during the trial particularly struck him. The morning after the assaults, in a response to a text message, Roy stated he had "snapped this morning but I didn't hurt anyone." For the simple assault charge involving Gallagher, Houran sentenced Roy to one to two years; he was given credit for 364 days time served. A second simple assault charge alleging he kicked Strider in the buttocks came with a one- to two-year jail term. Roy will serve three to six years on two second-degree assault convictions for jumping on and pushing Zander into a coffee table. Those two sentences will be served consecutively. The most serious assault charges involve Strider. Houran sentenced Roy on two counts of kidnapping, each with a 7 1/2- to 15-year term, to be served concurrently. And for one count of first-degree assault against Strider, Roy was sentenced to 10 to 30 years in prison. Roy is forbidden to have contact with children under 18. Boone said Roy would be required to register as a sex offender after his release from prison. If Roy remains on good behavior and completes all recommended classes or treatments, he may be eligible for parole after 22 1/2 years. The maximum jail term is 55 years. Roy's mother, Rita Roy, said Tuesday that Bedford-based attorney Shawn Sweeney has been retained to pursue an appeal of the conviction. firstname.lastname@example.com

My overall impression? I like the new additions. I think McDonald's is really trying to shape into a place where families can order a quick, healthy meal without the guilt and added pounds. To be quite honest, although I don't eat…

Seattle >Bars & Clubs > Verve Wine Bar
3820 S Ferdinand St, Ste 102, Seattle, WA | Directions 9811847.557852 -122.284229
Tuesday To Thursday From 01:00 PM To 10:00 PM Friday To Saturday From 01:00 PM To 11:00 PM
Neighborhoods: Ranier Valley, Columbia City
Hidden Gem in Columbia City – My husband and I met a group of friends at Verve for my birthday. The food was fabulous and there was a wine to please each of our guest's unique taste. The owner, Kate, is extremely friendly, as is the rest of the staff. I highly recommend checking it out. Tastings are on Tuesdays.
Condescending Wait Staff – Went here with a couple of girlfriends and was really excited to try it. The menu was fantastic and we had a hard time choosing. The food was actually good--not amazing, but with the right service and atmosphere it would have been great. HOWEVER.
Our waiter was AWFUL. Rude, condescending and completely put-out by having to help us.
1. asked for extra anchovies for my salad, to which he responded "there are plenty in the dressing." i said "can i have a few more all teh same?" never brought them. 10-15 minutes later (half of which i was trying to flag him down and he was pretending not to see me) he finally came back to the table. everyone's salad was gone except mine, because i'm still waiting for anchovies. i ask again. He first chides me for flagging him down too vigorously (all you had to do was <imitates> and i would have come over. <eyeroll>) then goes to get them. When he finally comes back with them he can't just pleasantly put them on the table, but has to make me feel BAD for asking for them "The chef is REALLY busy back there, but...i MANAGED to get some." Gee. thanks.
2. Friend was considering if she wanted a strong bold wine or something lighter, because we'd ordered a bunch of share plates. She sort of said the two she was considering, knowing full well that they were vastly different and he was RUDE. "WELL, those are VASTLY different options, so why don't you just tell me what you are in the MOOD for and i will make a reco." It was just obnoxious. She knew that they were different, and even if she HADN"T, no need to be condescending.
3. just overall not good. slow service, messed up orders
4. when i left i realized i had a sore throat and buzzing ears because it was so freaking LOUD inside you had to yell to have a convo.
Too bad. Love the neighborhood vibe and the food has potential. Service just makes it not worth trying again.
Gorgeous, gourmet food! – What a treat to discover a wine bar that is actually a gourmet restaurant! The flights here are lovely and affordably priced, and the ambiance is great for a date night or night out with friends, but the best thing about Verve is the food! The menu is inventive and unique, with thoughtful bistro-style dishes and delicious combinations like perfectly seared fresh tuna atop a bed of lentils and a pork belly so tender you don't even need to chew. I don't even eat beef, but I made an exception after tasting my friend's short ribs--they were so good, I actually ordered them next time! My favorite dessert is the chocolate torte with peanut butter caramel and a hint of sea salt, but there's always something new to try, like that awesome earl grey creme brulee. The menu changes weekly, taking advantage of the best seasonal offerings, so you never get bored (though I could never get bored with that fabulous bacon-leek flan...) This place has become my favorite, and is well worth the trek to Columbia City. I bring friends here all the time, and wasn't at all surprised when Seattle Metropolitan chose Verve as one of the best new restaurants of 2007. They just caught on to what we regulars knew all along!
Great Service, surpassed only by the Food – We've been to Verve quite a few times, and it is always a positive experience. Definitely a place to bring friends to just hang out, eat some great, affordable and interesting food along with new and unique wines. The staff is always happy to educate about the wines to the level the diner is interested, and the chef Garrett Brown is completely into this job, and his passion shines through to his food. Definitely come here if you want a fun, unpretentious wine and dine experience.
Excellent food - nice atmosphere – Have been a number of times... and enjoyed everytime. The Chef is friendly and has come out to greet us to make sure everything is up to our liking. The food is unique and delicious.....different... but not so outrageous that you are scared to try it. (Did I mention it was delicious?) It is one of our favorite place for date nite.
Great Food, Friendly Service – I went back last night for Beatwalk not expecting much, but it was PACKED! My previous review was about the great food (which hasn't changed), and the bad service (no longer the case). Apparently the crappy, mean waitress we had is no longer there (so says the cute waiter I talked to), and the menu has been revamped with lower prices and a couple new items. Its great! Verve, whatever you did, kudos to you, its like a whole new place.
Great new find! – I don't know where the previous "author" went, but it sure wasn't here. I've been several times, both in small groups and larger ones and its fantastic! The wine selection is just large enough not to be overwhelming, especially with one or two rotating special pours that aren't on the menu. The food, including the portion sizes, is great. Definately try the tasty Beef Carbonnade, and the gorgeous 5 cheese plate. (and those aren't craisins, you ninny, they're dried cherries. ) The lemon goat cheese tart with whipped cream candied citrus zest for dessert was AWESOME! As for the previous review, if you want big slabs of meat or hamburgers go next door to Jones or Geraldines. This is a WINE BAR people!; and I expect small plates, tastefully done, paired with great wine that I've not had before....all of which was provided at Verve.
Bad Service, Horrible Wine Selection and overpriced appetizers – Service & Food:
Wow,,, what a miss. I've lived in Columbia City for over three years and have experienced the opening of great restaurants and fun venues. Verve is a complete mess.... from the ill prepared wait staff - our water eventually was served after being offered 3 times (and accepted each) to the sad portions. Not only are the portions ridiculously small, they all appeared to be from a can, a jar or a bag (craisins.. anyone?).
Wine Selection:
You might be able to overlook the food if the wine menu is divine... it's not. At first glance I thought the menu was a joke, like maybe there was a second menu... the real one. Seriously - there were at most 15 offerings on the menu (no tasting size either) and the 15 listed included all varieties... not 15 of each. However, you can always buy a bottle not listed on the menu from the restaurant - with an additional $10 cork fee . Now I could see this if they actually had a wine menu worth a glance and you wanted to stray to something different - but come on... offering a choice of 15 wines and then charging more money if you want something different - it's absurd.
Suggestion - Go to La Medusa - they have great food and an excellent wine menu, plus the bonus of competent staff that can offer great suggestions for pairings.
Sorry Verve, you're overpriced and underwhelming.
Columbia City wine bar offers plenty of neighborhood cheer and affordable local and international wines by the glass. – In Short
A Danish modern sensibility pervades this functional neighborhood wine bar, seen in its blonde wood furniture, classy bamboo-embossed bar and funky/chic geometric hanging lamps. Locals sip wine sitting side-by-side along the long, curved, vinyl-padded bench and chat with friends sitting across the tables in Ikea-like chairs; opportunities for eavesdropping abound. There's a list of international and affordable choices by the glass and bottles can be purchased from the small retail section in front.

Hi all,
I need your estimation: Since I unlocked my 1.1.2 OTB I had this audio problem (other also mentioned this and most people could get rid of it by doing these strange things like plugging their headphones in and out and so on. For me this did not work and I started opening the headphone jack (yes... oh my god...!!) started playing with it. I could get the internal speaker to work while the jack was plugged and I sticked something from the lower side. Somehow I don't know why there was no sound at all anymore. No headphone, no speaker (until then there was headphone sound but only on one channel). Until today: NOTHING. No sound from speaker, no sound from headphone jack.
The weird thing is: I can do calls and use the speaker and mic. But a normal call is not possible. No sound from the phone and the mic is also off. Only the free speech mode is working (even microphone!). When comeone is calling, the speaker is also working. And when chosing between different ringtones the speaker is also working.
NOW: Is this the jack only? Can I force the iPhone to use the normal mic and output for calls instead of only letting me use the free speech?
Is there any hope?

Bio: Porn Star Lisa De Leeuw was one of the favorite starlets of both fans and critics during her ten year stint in the hardcore world. Lisa De Leeuw was one of the most prolific stars of her era, cranking out scores of red-hot sex performances between 1978 and 1987. Lisa De Leeuw was able to make the transition from the bigger-budget theatrical films of the 70's to the more quickly shot features of the early video boom. Her success in both mediums was due to her well-deserved reputation as one of the most sex-crazed starlets of her day. Lisa De Leeuw was a thick-set, naturally buxom redhead with a flair for acting and a feverish sexual intensity that simmered just below the surface. Lisa De Leeuw looked the part of the fierce sexual conqueror she was, and her full mouth and knowing eyes all contributed to the effect. Lisa De Leeuw had a strong, brassy personality, often coming across as porn's answer to Mae West.
Hailing originally from Moline, Illinois, Lisa De Leeuw started her hardcore career in the late 70's with a number of 'Swedish Erotica' shorts, which thrust her into the bright porn spotlight. Lisa De Leeuw was selective in the roles she took, usually appearing in only high-quality productions. One of the first batch of Vivid Video contract players, Lisa De Leeuw also was signed exclusively to Caballero for a time in the 80's. By 1987, she had done it all in the hardcore world, so she left films behind to concentrate on dancing gigs and her always-popular personal appearance schedule.
Lisa De Leeuw is a member of the X-Rated Critics' Organization's Hall of Fame.
She received the award in 1981 from the Critics' Adult Film Awards for the movie 'Amanda By Night'.
She received the award in 1982 from the Critics' Adult Film Awards for the movie 'Blonde Heat'.
She received the award in 1985 from the Adult Video News for the movie 'Dixie Ray'.
She received the award in 1986 from the Adult Video News for the movie 'Raw Talent'.

I loathe the name Peyton, but it's possible that my loathing is entirely due to overexposure to the name. I've met so many little Peyton's and seen every spelling from Peyton/Peyten/Paiton/Paitn/Paytyn/Peightyn/etc. The name got so popular here, it's fizzled out and people have moved on to Paisley/Paisleigh/Paisli/Paizli/Payslee/etc.
I kind of almost like the name Genesis. Not quite, but almost.I hope to be a mom one day. For now I enjoy being a name lover.

#CAAHoops Weekly: Feb. 15 Edition
To watch this week's #CAAHoops Weekly edition on your mobile device or tablet visit us on YouTube. You can also download one of our mobile apps by clicking here.
This week's edition of #CAAHoops Weekly starts with a look back at James Madison's 75-70 victory over Towson last Tuesday that featured big games from the Dukes' backcourt duo of A.J. Davis and Devon Moore. Bobby Broyles and Rob Washburn also review Delaware's 76-74 overtime triumph at Northeastern last Wednesday that featured a game-winning 24-foot three-pointer by the Blue Hens' Jarvis Threatt.
They then look ahead to the weekend, which includes a pair matchups between teams near the top of the league standings. George Mason hosts Georgia State on Saturday in a regionally televised contest on Comcast SportsNet, and JMU visits Delaware on Sunday night in a regionally televised showdown on Comcast SportsNet.
Broyles and Washburn then shift their focus to the women's hoops side where they review JMU's 68-56 victory at longtime rival Old Dominion last Tuesday, which included a game-high 22-point effort from the Dukes' Tarik Hislop. They also look back at a dominant defensive effort from Hofstra as it knocked off Drexel 53-43 before a crowd of better than 2,000 on Thursday afternoon.
#CAAHoops Weekly moves into preview mode on the women's side starting with a rematch between JMU and Hofstra on Sunday. The Dukes won the first meeting in Harrisonburg, 85-62, but the Pride has a 5-1 CAA record at home this season. They also look at Sunday's key matchup in the middle of the league standings as Northeastern travels to Old Dominion. The Huskies have won four of their last six heading into a weekend road swing at W&M and ODU, while the Lady Monarchs will be looking to end a three-game slide.
The final segment of #CAAHoops Weekly features an interview with Delaware All-American Elena Delle Donne, who became the CAA's all-time leading scorer in a victory at James Madison last Sunday.
We invite you to share your #CAAHoops thoughts, ideas and photos with us on Facebook. We are also on Twitter @CAAHoops and encourage fans from all our schools to follow our tweets for all the latest league information. Be sure to tag all #CAAHoops-related tweets with our official hashtag #CAAHoops.

WESTPORT -- The 46-year-old Maine woman whose body was found floating Friday in the Saugatuck River was hit by a Metro-North train the night before.
Police made that announcement after video confirmed a passenger's report that a train had stopped Thursday night on the Saugatuck rail bridge, where Annette L. White apparently was struck. A search Monday near the bridge yielded items that belonged to White, police said.
The state medical examiner's office said earlier that her death was caused by blunt impact injuries, which police said were consistent with those that could be caused by a train.
White, who had been living at an Owenoke Park residence since July, was not familiar with the area, which might explain why she had walked into a potentially dangerous area, police said Monday night. The death appeared to be accidental, police said as they released the results of their investigation.
The cause of White's death was determined after police reviewed video of the bridge showing that a Metro-North train made an unscheduled stop on the span, just east of the Saugatuck station, for approximately 20 minutes on Thursday. The video shows rail personnel leaving the train and searching around the lead car.
Police detectives were alerted Monday morning to the emergency stop by a passenger on the train who had seen reports on White's death.
Based on that information, Westport police, assisted by officers from the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, searched the bridge and its piers. Police divers, assisted by fire department personnel and the Fairfield police marine unit, searched the river below the bridge trestle.
By late Monday afternoon, the search turned up a cellphone and one earring on a bridge pier directly below the track where the train had stopped. The phone and jewelry were later confirmed to be White's.
Westport police said they and MTA police will continue their investigation to determine events leading up to White's death.
She was last seen alive about 4 p.m. Thursday, police said, by the owner of the Owenoke Park home in which White was living. The owner then reportedly left the house for the evening, and White was not seen again until her body was found the following morning near the mouth of the river by a duck hunter in a kayak.
"The owner of the home has been cooperative with the investigation," police said.
In a posting on Facebook, White is pictured with Jonathan Prager, a resident of the Owenoke house. Two neighbors reached by phone Monday said they didn't know White, but did know Prager and his family. Neither neighbor wanted to comment on the incident.
White listed her occupation on Facebook as the owner-operator at Points of Light Education and Support Center. She last posted on the site Dec. 20. Three days earlier, she posted a photo taken from her bedroom window of a deer in the backyard.
According to her Facebook page, White lived in South Paris, Maine, and Buxton, Maine, studied clinical psychology at Saybrook Graduate School and Research Center and attended the University of Oklahoma and Bellevue University. On Facebook, she listed two daughters and one son, and a number of other relatives, as family. Read Full Article

We were served a buffet lunch on the ship as we neared the platform. The food was mostly cold picnic-type foods and pleasant enough.
Once at the platform, we put on our snorkel equipment, which included the standard gear and a wetsuit for an optional $5. I highly suggest the wetsuit if you are prone to burning. The snorkeling was set up within a large marked-off area. It was impossible to get lost in the water, but there was enough room to spread out from the many people snorkeling. You can also take a semi-submersible boat around the reef away from the snorkelers. This allows you to see the reef without getting wet. I suggest doing both.
I did not scuba dive but heard from others it was just okay for the price. Unfortunately, these people had never dived before and were with a beginner's class. The road home was very relaxing, especially when tea and biscuits were served again. I actually fell asleep on the boat ride and bus ride home. It is an exhausting day, and I would suggest keeping the schedule for this day simple otherwise. Also, if you are worried about seasickness (I was), the boat is very smooth in the water. I had no problems whatsoever.

"SURPRISE ITO," said the text invite for Willie Revillame's 50th birthday bash.
But last night, January 29, Willie's staff was bowled over by the early arrival of the controversial TV host.
Instead of 7:00 p.m., the doors to the grand ballroom were opened at 8:30 p.m. "Bilin po ni Sir," was the polite spiel of the Makati Shangri-La receptionists.
Undaunted by the order of the birthday boy, talent manager Lolit Solis went inside to watch the rehearsal. "Akala ko ba, Willie, surprise? Bakit kumakanta-kanta ka riyan?"
The Willing Willie host just smiled and quipped, "Siyempre, surprise, e."
THE PARTY TURNED INTO A CONCERT. A stage had been set up in the middle of the hotel's Rizal Ballroom where the celebration was held.
In the lobby were the buffet tables and an ice carving of the letter "W" placed in a prominent position.
A staff of the hotel related, "Ang aga pong dumating ni Sir. Nakaayos na lahat kaninang 5:50 [p.m.] kasi 7:00 [p.m.] yung start, e. Pero pagdating niya, pinabago niya po. Nagpadagdag siya ng tables at upuan."
The program turned into a concert with Nico Maca + Playground serving as front act.
At past 10:00 p.m., while people chatted over drinks, Willie emerged onstage.
"Mamaya na kayo mag-interview. Hello, excuse me! Ako ang importanteng tao sa gabing ito. Birthday ko," he said, half-serious and half-joking.
The comedian, who turned 50 last January 27, officially opened the program with his hits "Ikaw Na Nga" and "I Love You."
Guest performers that evening were Concert Queen Pops Fernandez, Asia's Queen of Songs Pilita Corrales, Pop Diva Kuh Ledesma, balladeer Mark Bautista, plus, the Pinoy Pop group XLR8 and the WW.Girls.
One of the most-applauded performances was the reunion of '80s hit singers Raymond Lauchengco, Gino Padilla, and Dingdong Avanzado.
The trio dished out songs they described as "panahon ni Willie," such as Spandau Ballet's "Gold," Naked Eyes' "Always Something There to Remind Me," Busted's "Build Me Up Buttercup," JoBoxers' "Just Got Lucky," Van Halen's "Jump," Depeche Mode's "Just Can't Get Enough," Starship's "We Built this City," among others.

Sure hope this good night repeats itself for you & family, mama.
If you feel you've had success, would you sometime summarize your steps/your experience?
I'd also like to say, "thank you" so much for sharing your story and progression. You are doing a great job! My DS is 18 mo. old, and I got on the forums specifically looking for threads on night-time sleep/nursing, etc. I haven't decided what to do yet, but I enjoy your sense of humor and open-ness! :)
--Another Tired Mama
Janet, the best summary I can give you is to read through Dr. Sears, Jay Gordon, and whoever else feels right to you and then make a plan and stick with it. What worked for us may or may not work for you because your LO may respond to something that ours does not. DH and I went so far as to verbally discuss our detailed plan of action, talking about how we would deal with the various scenarios that we could think of. We started the very next night and as soon as I put DD to bed, I came out and confirmed with DH that I remembered correctly. You know well how your memory is not very trustworthy when you're sleep deprived. Yeah, well. There ya go!
Good luck! It CAN be done.
Yesterday's nap was pretty crummy! DD did NOT want to go to sleep. I wonder if it had something to do with the solid hours of sleep but I think it may be more the difference in the overall routine with no wakings and with us now napping in her "big girl" bed. Either way, I was beat and my tolerance was short so I snapped at her and then walked out. After I pulled myself together, I went back in and helped her get back to sleep. DD slept for 1.5 hours! Yea!!!!
Last night, bedtime was not easy. For some reason, DD was yawning at 7:30. Repeatedly. She hasn't been yawning at that time since she was tiny. So, naturally, we started bedtime right away - paying attention to her cues as good parents do. Ha! She showed me! DD stayed up and fought going to bed for an hour and a half. At one point, she even crawled off the bed and ran out of the room. ARGGGGH. Ok, so I took another deep breath. Put her back on the bed and ordered her to go to sleep. Instead of laying down right next to her and letting her loll around, I decided to sit on the other side, DH's side, of the bed and kept telling her that it's time to sleep and that she needs to lay down and go to sleep. I did not offer to nurse again. Well, this only took about 15 (maybe 20) minutes. Wow. I actually had nightmare reminders of how DS's bedtimes used to be. He refused to fall asleep and it would take 2 hours of me sitting next to him before he not only fell asleep but enough to where I could confidently get off the bed and leave the room.
Dang kids! We signed up for this, right?!
It was around 9:30 by this point and I came out, shut down the house, left the hubz sitting in his chair working on something, and went to bed.
DD didn't wake up until 6:15/6:30 AGAIN! WOOOO HOOOO! And the Angels were singing....
Ok, now, nobody tell her that I'm excited, ok?! It'll be our little secret!!!
Today's nap was sucky for a different reason. She fell asleep pretty quickly but was up and out of her bed and room in 40 minutes flat. Gah.
Ok, I'm hoping for another night of sleep, magical sleep.
Last night was not a good night compared to the last two. She went to sleep about an hour after normal and then woke at 5:15 asking to nurse. Since it would be another hour before the sun started coming up, I had to tell her no and she proceeded to kick me. Yea, me. She got up for the day around 8 so that's not too bad but I sure do wish that last night was better. Turns out that she has a stomach virus of some sort. Slept with a touch of diarhea in her dipe all night and has been going all day long. Poor thing. Nap today was a good one - 2 hours - except that I slept with her. She woke up after 45 minutes and wanted to nurse again. Gah - when does this nap thing resolve itself???
Tonight at bedtime, I did the same thing as last night - I nursed her sitting up in bed and then kept telling her to go lay down. It didn't take as long as last night's bedtime and she was pretty much out in about 15-20 minutes total. Mama likes that!
Here's to a good sleep tonight and a clear tummy tomorrow.
-As the Bed Doesn't Get Made
I'm still reading, Mama!
I was wondering if maybe you might have some more success if you slept on the couch for a week and let DH handle the night wakings?
The other night I told my DH that we had to do a night wean soon b/c the boy was up every hour and I was just losing my mind. I've been falling asleep with him at 9 pm and missing time with DH and DD and anything else in my life.
We may try the separate sleeping arrangements but for now we need to get through this tummy bug that has DD telling me poop and me finding a nasty surprise in her dipe. Not fun. Going into the 3rd day but it's getting better.
So, with the tummy thing, I'm going to assume that it is the reason that DD has been waking about an hour or two EARLY before sunrise. I need to let this pass before I can begin to draw conclusions again about our progress... I think it's only fair. Overall, the last couple nights have not been bad - she's slept through till early morning and then fussed but just a few minutes before drifting off again. After the sun begins to come up, we go back to the same nursing routine as always.
Not too bad. Could be better. Hoping for a clear tummy today so she's not waking from hunger.
The last two nights have been not horrible. Bedtime has gotten better and DD does a better job of falling asleep on her own without me laying by her side and then popping my nipple out of her mouth and hoping that she doesn't roll back over to nurse some more. She's been waking up about 5 the last two nights. Overall, we're still getting 7 straight hours so I'm happy with that. I'd love it if we could push it all the way to 8 or more but for now I'll take it!
For those that might still be reading this thread, I want to encourage you to not give up and say that you are doomed to a number of years of poor sleeping habits from your LO. If you know for a fact that there is nothing medically wrong, encourage and coax the changes that YOU need to be healthy - physically, mentally, and emotionally. I know the toll that sleep deprivation took on me. I felt like I was invaded by some sort of strange being. I'd look at myself in the mirror and not really see me at all but some sort of creature that looked like she was about ready to fall down. I suspect that in the last two years (DD is 22 mos + the last 2 of pg), I have aged probably a good 5 years. Not a happy thing, Ladies!
We are going to continue the nursing "abstinence" in the wee hours. I am still sticking with the "sun is sleeping" factor to determine when to tell her no but I suspect the time is coming to try sleeping in another room altogether for a while and let DH sooth DD down if she wakes. For us, it'll be the transition to moving DD into her own bed, in her own room (where she's been napping now for the last couple of weeks anyway).
Keep strong, everyone! It does get better.
So, I don't know if anyone is still reading this thread but I am going to keep posting in hopes that something will click. For me, for you, for whoever.
Last couple of nights have been meh. DD is STILL waking at 4:30/5 and demanding to nurse. She quiets down after a few minutes but... DANG IT. I'm totally frustrated.
Last night, DH and I decided that we would try the separate sleeping arrangements. Up until this point, we have been reluctant to do that since we both believe that husbands and wives should sleep together. In the same bed. But, obviously, continuing to do what we have been doing isn't working and DD isn't ceasing to wake and throw a fit about not getting her way. I'm totally frustrated with night parenting and my level of patience is not what it ought to be.
Last night, I put DD down like I've been doing - sitting along side until she stops lolling around the bed and falls asleep. She's still at about 30-45 minutes so I can handle that. However, rather than coming to bed with DD and DH when it was time for me, I went into DD's room and slept on her "big girl" double bed. She woke at 4:30 and it was full blown hysterics for DH for about 30 minutes until she calmed herself and let DH pat her enough to let herself fall asleep again. She woke again at 6:15 and since it was light out, DH brought her to me.
This is the part that we are hazy about. I'd really like it if DD slept a little later since she doesn't go down until about 9 or 9:30. With that timing, 6:30 is really too early for her to be getting up. If she slept another hour, then I could get up and I wouldn't resent being a nursemaid for an hour while she got her fill.
Thoughts? Suggestions?
We'll be doing this again but I guess I'm a little unsure how to proceed here. Ideally, DH would parent her through this week until we can get her to STOP waking at 4:30/5. I guess if she becomes a 6:30 wake-up girl, then I can deal with that better than the way things are now. No, I don't think I'd be ok with just letting her come back into our bed for the last bit of sleep in the early morning. I am still suffering from serious mood issues and I think they are sleep related. Unfortunately, I just can't shake it right now. Even though the night sleep is SIGNIFICANTLY improved, I guess my body (mind?) is now getting greedy and I want more.
It's nap time.
I just found your thread and read the whole thing w/ great interest.
My DD now almost 3 has always been a horrible sleeper and frequent nurser. I finally got her down to 1 or 2 morning nurses but would be happy to be done w/ those too,
my struggle is the nightmarish 2 hours of putting DD to sleep that you speak of- UGH it's driving me insane!!...
and i'm still working on trying to find a solution to the problem.......thinking of trying to physically wear her out more during the day, since that seemed to have worked wonders for us tonight.
anyway I wanted to say that it looks like you've made some serious progress!! and good work sticking with it!
Just wondering but is your DD sensitive to light? We got black out curtains from WMrt and they seem to help a little, for us, moslty at bedtime though since the sun goes down so late. But the dark room in the morning helps too.
We have near-black out shades. It's two (relatively thick) layers over 2" blinds, which are angled up in toward the ceiling which lets in less light than if we were to have them angled down toward the floor. I don't think light is an issue as it's still pretty dark at 4:30/5 when she wakes... We have to keep the bottoms of the blinds pulled up about a foot or so since we have cats and they like to look out the windows. We learned the hard way what happens to blinds if they're not pre-opened for our feline friends.
I'm thinking that tonight, and into morning, we'll do the initial same thing - have DH sleep with DD and I'll sleep on her bed. Then in the morning, when she wakes at 6:30ish, he can try to encourage her to go back to sleep and if she doesn't then she's up for the day. I'm thinking I'm not real keen on the hour-long pacifier that's been her compensation so far.
Let's see... We're starting week 3 now and I'm ready for some breakthroughs.
Keeping our fingers crossed that it won't take that much longer!!!
What is your ideal dream of a great bed/night time? Does your DD nurse or is the am nursing her only nursing time?
I don't like the early am nursing either, Yikes 4:30?! Ouch!
I'm feeling wishy-washy about compleat weaning though....
I think if i got the bedtime routine under controll an early am nurse might not be as annoying as it sometimes is now
hope some breakthroughs are coming your way!

DD nurses pretty much several times during the day. She nurses upon waking (or 6:30, whichever comes first), at naptime, upon waking from nap, sometimes in the late afternoon, and then at bedtime. I don't want her to wean yet. The daytime is perfectly ok with me to have her nursing at this frequency. She's still taking in a LOT of milk. I can hear her swallowing so I know I'm making plenty.
It's the nighttime routine that I need to have improve. We have already seen a significant improvement but I guess I'm greedy - I want even more. I want her sleep. I want her to sleep because it's also good for her, not just for me. She's almost 2. She's verbal, bi-lingual, and VERY active. This child NEEDS her sleep. When she doesn't get enough, she's a completely different kiddo. She's not as patient with herself or her surroundings. She's much more clingy, whiny, and easy to upset. It's basically a bad day for everyone because we're having to compensate for her tired. I know the same thing holds true for when I'm tired. I'm no fool (even though I can act it).
Last night's transition to sleeping with just DH was better than the first night. She woke up at some point (DH doesn't know when since doesn't look at the clock and I don't have one in DD's room) but only made a few squeaks and then went back to sleep quickly after I heard DH sooth her a bit. At 6:30, she popped out of bed, left DH sleeping there, and went in search of me through the house. It actually came in handy that she walked right past her room because it gave me a chance to run to the bathroom to pee. Very important!!!
We then settled into the big bed for about a 40 minute nursing session while DH snored away, still pretty much catching his zzz's. I love that man! (Truly, I'm not being sarcastic!) I do totally envy his ability to sleep through stuff, though. But, in analyzing our little journey to Sleepville, I think the process has given him a greater awareness of DD's nighttime needs and I think having only him there has given DD a greater connection with him.
I am really keeping my fingers crossed for a continued successful transition!
(Besides, I don't like sleeping without DH as much as I am enjoying the freedom to move around a bit more in my sleep. )
I've not updated our progression the last several nights, well, ok, a week, since there has been only slight improvement. I am still sleeping in DD's bed while she and DH are cosleeping. I miss sleeping with DH.
DD is still waking up. I'm still not sure what time because I've yet to figure out how to put an unobnoxious clock in her room that I can also see at night. Last night, she woke up at some point but DH doesn't remember her waking. He's a much harder sleeper than I. Or maybe I'm just a freakishly light sleeper? Either way, she's still waking up and we're now going on a month of this and I'm tired of it. I guess figuratively AND literally.
Last Thursday, I went to see a holistic nutritionist that I've seen before. Many, many years before. She did wonders for me last time so I'm keeping my fingers crossed this time also. I've got a set of supplements to take and DD takes one mixed into her frozen banana "ice cream" before bed. It's supposed to help regulate her system and get her sleeping better. It's the same thing for me but at double the dosage.
My PPD is cycling down again and I am again desperate for sleep. Even moreso that I haven't been able to nap on a regular basis with DD. Partly, because I don't really want to be her live pacifier when she rouses from her sleep after 45 minutes and then soothes attached to my nipple. Still, I guess it's better than nothing but ... meh.
I've started taking valerian to try to help ME relax overnight. It's helping initially but I still hear everything through my sleep. I am now more and more convinced that our sleep problems have to do, at least partly, with my sleep cycles.
Tonight, after DD was dressed for bed, she pointed to "her" bed and indicated that she wanted to sleep there. I didn't put her to sleep there because I'm not sleeping well enough to deal with a 1:30 a.m. (or whatever time) screaming wake up, or her rolling herself out of the bed, or, or, or, or.
Where's my magic wand?!?!?!
Lurker- I've been watching this thread since it was created and thought I'd jump in.
No magic bullets here. But I will say that I really think sleeping through the night is a developmental thing. My little man just night weaned this summer. He's 3.5 years old. We are down to nursing only to fall asleep and right before we get out of the bed. He was waking every 2 hours without fail from birth. The first month was really hard. Every time he woke I would tell him yummies are sleeping you can have them when mr. sun comes up. That resulted in lots of yelling,crying, tantruming, but it never lasted longer than a few minutes. Now he will sleep an 8 hour stretch without waking most nights, and some nights even a 10 hour stretch. It does get better. You have to do what is best for you as well though. And I think since you are having some ppd issues it's probably time to night wean.
I know it's almost been a year since the last update, but how does this story end? My DS is 19 mo and I'm starting to think night weaning is in our future. These every 2 hour night nursings are wearing on me, as are the 45 min nap/nurse intermissions, and the "I'm hungry & Mom is the closest food source" nursings, etc.
Thanks again for sharing!

The Philadelphia Inquirer reports (http://bit.ly/13js0jN) the final jurors were selected Wednesday in the trial for the Rev. Charles Engelhardt and Bernard Shero. It's a panel of eight men and four women.
The case was spun off from last year's high-profile trial of a church official charged with helping the Philadelphia archdiocese cover up abuse complaints.
The 65-year-old Engelhardt and the 49-year-old Shero are charged with sexually assaulting the boy in the late 1990s. Both have pleaded not guilty. Their lawyers wanted them tried separately from the defendants in last year's case.
The 61-year-old Rev. William Lynn is appealing his landmark conviction in that case.

Since it began in 1984 in Nashville, Tenn., the group has been comprised of the same six members: Gene Johnson (mandolin, guitar, fiddle, tenor vocals), Jimmy Olander (lead guitar, Dobro, Danelectro, banjo), Brian Prout (drums), Marty Roe (lead vocals), Dan Truman (keyboards, organ, synthesizer) and Dana Williams (bass guitar, baritone vocals).
Diamond Rio has released seven studio albums, two greatest hits collections and "A Diamond Rio Christmas: The Star Still Shines," a 2007 holiday album. The band has earned three platinum albums and won the Country Music Association's Vocal Group of the Year award four times, as well as netting two Academy of Country Music Awards in the top Vocal Group of the Year category. When it debuted in 1991 with the hit "Meet in the Middle," Diamond Rio became the first group in the history of country music to have a debut single reach No. 1. The group continued to place 32 more singles on the Billboard chart, including "How Your Love Makes Me Feel," "Norma Jean Riley," "Beautiful Mess" and "Love a Little Stronger."
"The fact that we have recorded songs with positive messages is not by accident. We chose to do that," Johnson said. "We've had songs that touched people beyond their ears, and got down into their hearts. When we did 'Mama Don't Forget To Pray For Me,' we were getting letters from people talking about that song and how it touched them. I remember one specifically from a young girl who had run away from home. She called her mom and dad after hearing 'Mama Don't Forget To Pray For Me.' After months of being gone, that song caused her to call home. That was a powerful thing. It makes you really stop and think. Songs touch people. Sometimes they can influence people's lives more than we realize."

George Washington Carver, botantist, chemist, scientist, educator, inventor, and researcher, died January 5, 1943, succumbing to anemia at the age of 81 on the campus of the Tuskegee Institute.
He was known as the "Wizard of Tuskegee," the predominantly Black educational institution in Tuskegee, Ala. He was a pioneering plant chemist and agricultural researcher noted for his work with the peanut and soil restoration while at Tuskegee Institute, developing more than 300 products from the peanut as well as the sweet potato, soybeans and pecans. Among the listed items that he suggested to southern farmers to help them economically were his recipes and improvements to/for: adhesives, axle grease, bleach, buttermilk, chili sauce, fuel briquettes, ink, instant coffee, linoleum, mayonnaise, meat tenderizer, metal polish, paper, plastic, pavement, shaving cream, shoe polish, synthetic rubber, talcum powder and wood stain.
Carver's research also helped advance farming techniques throughout American agriculture. During World War I, he found a way to replace the textile dyes formerly imported from Europe. He produced dyes of 500 different shades of dye and he was responsible for the invention in 1927 of a process for producing paints and stains from soybeans. Two other patents were for cosmetics and plant products (1925) and paints and stains (1925).
In 1935, Carver was appointed to the Department of Agriculture by President Franklin D. Roosevelt to address the southern farming crisis. Among other things, he advised farmers to use crop rotation. Since peanuts and sweet potato crops have nitrogen-fixing bacteria in their roots, these plants restore nitrogen levels in the soil, which helps other plants like cotton and tobacco to grow better. Other rotation crops included peas, soybeans and pecans.
Dr. Carver was awarded the Roosevelt Medal in 1939 for saving Southern Agriculture (which was later instrumental in feeding the United States during its involvement in W.W.II). He also produced educational pamphlets to farmers.
In 1941, 'Time' magazine dubbed him a "Black Leonardo", a reference to the Renaissance Italian polymath Leonardo da Vinci. Through the fame of his achievements and many talents, the long held stereotypes of inferior intellect were dispelled for an entire race.
Upon his death, Dr. Carver's hometown was made a historic site. President Harry S. Truman signed the Joint Resolution on December 28, 1945, saying, "I do hereby call upon officials of the Government to have the flag at half staff on all government buildings on January 5, 1946 in commemoration of the achievements of George Washington Carver."
During the 79th Congress, Public Law 290 was passed to designate, beginning January 5, 1946 and each year on his death as George Washington Carver Recognition Day. Carver was honored by many around the world and received numerous awards, but he did not seek those acknowledgements. He loved agriculture and science and his passion was to improve everything he could for the benefit of mankind.
A commemorative stamp of George Washington Carver is issued by the U.S. Postal Service January 5, 1948. The posthumous honor bestowed upon the famed agricultural expert and researcher is only one of the many awards he received, including the 1923 Spingarn Medal and membership in the NYU Hall of Fame.
From the Beginning
The exact day and year of his birth are unknown; he is believed to have been born before slavery was abolished in Missouri in January 1864.
Born toward the end of the Civil War near Diamond Grove, Missouri on the farm of Moses Carver, the infant George and his mother were kidnapped by Confederate night-raiders and possibly sent away to Arkansas. Moses Carver found and reclaimed George after the war but his mother had disappeared. The identity of Carver's father remains unknown, although he believed his father was a slave from a neighboring farm. Moses and Susan Carver reared George and his brother as their own children. It was on the Moses' farm where George first fell in love with nature, where he earned the nickname 'The Plant Doctor' and collected in earnest all manner of rocks and plants.
He began his formal education at the age of twelve, which required him to leave the home of his adopted parents since the segregated school was a distance away in Newton County, Missouri. He worked as a farm hand and studied in a one-room schoolhouse. He went on to attend Minneapolis High School in Kansas. College entrance was a struggle, again because of racial barriers.
At the age of thirty, Carver gained acceptance to Simpson College in Indianola, Iowa, where he was the first black student. Carver had to study piano and art and the college did not offer science classes. Intent on a science career, he later transferred to Iowa Agricultural College (now Iowa State University) in 1891, where he gained a Bachelor of Science degree in 1894 and a Master of Science degree in bacterial botany and agriculture in 1897. Carver became a member of the faculty of the Iowa State College of Agriculture and Mechanics (the first black faculty member for Iowa College), teaching classes about soil conservation and chemurgy.
In 1897, Booker T. Washington, founder of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute for Negroes, convinced Carver to come south and serve as the school's Director of Agriculture. Carver remained on the faculty until his death in 1943.
It is rare to find a man of the caliber of George Washington Carver. A man who would decline an invitation to work for a salary of more than $100,000 a year (almost a million today) to continue his research on behalf of his countrymen. He did not patent or profit from most of his products. He freely gave his discoveries to mankind. Most important was the fact that he changed the South from being a two-crop land of cotton and tobacco, to being multi-crop farmlands, with farmers having hundreds of profitable uses for their new crops. "God gave them to me" he would say about his ideas, "How can I sell them to someone else?" In 1940, Carver donated his life savings to the establishment of the Carver Research Foundation at Tuskegee, for continuing research in agriculture.
George Washington Carver was bestowed an honorary doctorate from Simpson College in 1928. He was an honorary member of the Royal Society of Arts in London, England.
In 1923, he received the Spingarn Medal given every year by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.
In 1939, he received the Roosevelt medal for restoring southern agriculture.

By Susan Milligan |
Don't boycott Chick-fil-A because its CEO is an outspoken foe of gay marriage.
Boycott it because it sells junk food that impacts the health of young people, which is potentially far worse than CEO Dan Cathy's influence on their minds.
There's no defense of hatred and bigotry. And we shouldn't even ...
