8 Responses to The Skinny on Virtual Staging: Is it Deceptive?
Great blog post Barb, with virtual staging, you run the risk of disappointing potential buyers. Then the all important emotional appeal is ruined. A professional home stager is the only way to go!
Thank you, Barb, for this informative article!
I meet my now husband on eHarmony.com. One of the things I kept hearing from people I meet via the dating websites, is how many people misrepresented themselves. Some said they were much younger than they actually were, some physically didn't match up to what they had said on the site, some even used a picture when they were much younger and some even used someone else pictures as there own and the list goes on and on. My question was always, didn't those misrepresenting themselves ever think the person on the other end just might want to meet them? Then what? You always wanted to get what was told as "truth" by the other person.
So here's my point….. a house that's been virtually staged is very different from what the buyer will see when they get into the house. Virtual staging might get the buyer interested initially in seeing the house but once they are there, they could feel very differently about the house and even the agent. Nothing will take the place of a "for real" staged house.
I personally think conceptual staging (or "virtual staging" as you call it here) can be a very effective marketing tool. In fact, I wish I had it as a tool when I sold new homes many years ago. I used to use good old fashioned furniture templates and blueprints — not nearly the wow factor of a conceptual staging, but it helped. Most buyers I worked with truly couldn't visualize the potential of a home (which is why the model home plans always sold out first and why new home sales people dread selling out of a trailer in a start up community.)
Realtors, Real Estate Stagers & Property Stylists must be careful when using virtual staging as a marketing tool so as not to look like you're trying to deceive potential buyers. Here are some things that we always suggest if you use conceptual staging…
1) Use before AND afters in your marketing efforts.
2) Use text on the conceptually staged photo indicating it is conceptually staged (eg "Imagine the possibilties…" or "Designer's rendering" or "Conceptually Staged".)
3) Don't make structural changes or landscaping changes (or anything that would otherwise convey with the property if it were really there.)
4) Display the conceptual staging photos on foam core poster board on an easel in the actual listing so that prospects can imagine the possibilities.When we have used conceptual staging, it has worked VERY well. It has allowed our sellers to affordably package their properties when their budget doesn't allow for other alternatives. It helps the prospects to visualize the potential of the space, get a grasp of the scale of the space and get creative ideas from a professional on how a space can be laid out.
Using conceptual renderings is a very effective marketing strategy, and an affordable alternative when the budget doesn't allow for full blown home staging services.
If you'd like to learn more about the differences between Conceptual & Virtual Staging, we've got more information on our website: http://www.myinterioritycomplex.com/online-design-therapy/virtual-home-staging/
Thank you for your comment. As The Creator of Home Staging® and after Staging over 5,000 homes myself I have found that it is crucial as buyers visit and see the property in person that the property be Staged for real, in person too. My analogy rings true of someone dating through an on line dating site, such as E Harmony, can find themselves very disappointed and leave or make the lunch really short, when the picture they saw on line is not how the person that shows up for lunch looks like at all. The same thing is true in Real Estate. As a RE Broker I know that when buyers walk into the house the first impression is crucial and that they make up their minds of whether to give a house consideration in 6 secs or less. And if the house was Staged on line, but not for real in the actual house, then the buyers literally are disappointed and usually turn around, walk out, or leave and don't give the house much of a chance at all. Why? Because it was not Staged for real in the house as it was Staged on line.
I have seen this as a RE Broker over and over again. The reason I invented Home Staging as a Broker was because of what I saw and therefore I came up with one of my many Staging Savings: "Buyers only know what they see, not the way it is going to be." Nothing in the end can compare to actually having the house Staged for real in the house itself. Sketches are nice, floor plan drawings are nice of how furniture can fit, virtually Staging may look nice on the internet but when the buyer goes to the house and sees it not Staged for real, vacant, lived in messy, etc….it is never the same for the buyer and those things lead to disappointment and lack of sales.
The house has to match the marketing and the marketing has to match the house. Both should be Staged and they should always match so that what the buyer sees on line is what they buyer sees in the actual house when they go to see it too. Real Staging works for a reason and the stats totally back it up as well
Keep in mind this is all just speculation. I've used virtual staging on 6 different properties already and have received nothing but incredibly positive feedback. I think a lot of traditional home stagers that have been doing it for years feel intimidated by virtual staging and are looking for anything wrong with it that they can find.
Old-timers can speculate all they want but I've personally experienced great results, so have others in my office. Virtual staging may not be for everyone and I think there will also be a place for physical home staging but I truly believe virtual staging is a great idea and we need to start embracing innovation and not be afraid of things that disrupt the status-quo and old ways of thinking.
Nice article! I think that virtual staging is a great idea, however, I've see this too often where the home looks great in the photos, but once the buyers see it in person, it's all over. The buyers can become very disappointed and deceived.
Possibly with some sort of disclosure, virtual staging may not create the illusion that the home is as nice as the photos make it out to be. I agree that it paints the picture of what the home's potential is, but should be disclosed.

AMERICA/EL SALVADOR - "In 100 days' respite, over 800 lives have been saved": the results of the agreement signed between criminal gangs on the initiative of the Church
San Salvador (Agenzia Fides) - The pact between criminal gangs, the "Mara Salvatrucha" (MS-13) and the "Mara 18" (M-18), has decreased daily murders from 14 to 5, according to data provided by the Castrencian Vicar Monsignor Fabio Colindres, who was the first to propose a truce with former guerrilla commander Raul Mijango (see Fides 28/03/2012).
To celebrate the achievements of the agreement, Mgr. Colindres presided a religious ceremony in the prison of Quezaltepeque, about 25 kilometers northwest of the capital. "The results are evident, more than 800 lives have been saved, we are pleased that this peace process continues slowly," said Mgr. Colindres in a note sent to Fides Agency. "I have just come by to say hello and tell you that the truce has been worthwhile," said Mgr. Colindres to detained gang members, some of them accompanied by their wives and children.
"This day is special. On 16 June we completed the first 100 days since the beginning of the truce, a process that has yielded excellent results and has been very useful for the country, because over 800 lives have been saved," said former guerrilla commander Raul Mijango. Today will be the turn of the prison of Ciudad Barrios (east of the country) and Izalco (west of the country) to celebrate the 100-day truce for peace. According to data collected by Fides, in the prisons of El Salvador about 10,000 members of criminal gangs are being held, while 50,000 are still free. (CE) (Agenzia Fides 19/6/2012)

3.73 / 5.00 11,321 ViewsJust classical Pong with some sounds. Like it or hate it!
Pong? Honestly? I'm usually quite kind with my reviews, but put some effort into it man! It's fine to make this as practice, but don't post it anywhere, we've all seen Pong before. If you feel you must, at least add a twist to it. Look up "Pwong" in the search bar up at the top of the page. I've got it favorited because, despite being essentially Pong, it has just enough unique features to make it entertaining.
2 stars for the work, but try harder next time.
Here's what i think...
1st: you promised what you said on description.
2nd: Once you've got 6 points it's impossible to score any longer
3rd: You could make this multiplayer on the keyboard =)
4th: Mute button would be welcome
Fix 2nd and 4th and this should be ok
And yes, i like very old school games!
Very simple..
But the sound effects and the nostalgia is just purely awesome :D
what's new?
What makes this different to the original?
You added some sounds, ok. And what else?
Have you created the sounds.
Your collision detection is not working properly.
Flash is a good way to revive old classics.
But in my opinion it's not a good idea to jsut port the game to flash.
Try to add something to the idea.
Make it 3D, add some collectible bonuses, combine it with other old games (like breakout)
I'd love to play a new pong, with great new features.

Comments about Wilsons Leather Travel Bag:
It's all around!
Great Bag, Could Be Better...
By Chrys (thejägermeister)
from Fresno, CA
Description could have included the fact that this bag includes design features best suited for left-handers. I am, somewhat, ambidextrous so, it doesn't ,really, effect me that greatly. I purchased this bag, because the one I had, given to me by a friend, had seen it's better days. It was, also, a Wilson brand product. I wished my new bag had all the design features, and used the same materials, as the previous bag I owned. It is one of those things we, frequently, seem to experience these days. Someone is always trying to improve upon something that needs little or no improvement. The only thing I wished had been changed on the old bag, was it's length. It would have been nice if the bag were made an inch or so longer, so I could put addressed envelopes in it, for my trips to the Post Office. One feature on the new bag that I really don't care for is the zipper pouch where I keep my money. It is on the outside, instead of the inside as before. It does run vertically, instead of horizontally, which is an improvement but it being on the outside could result in a great loss, should I happen to neglect zipping the compartment, which used to happen, occasionally. The liner on the old bag was of durable, flexible nylon, making it much easier to insert cards and such, into the slots. I spent a long time looking for the right bag, at the right price and, finally, found this one. All-in-all, a good product for the money. I wouldn't mind if someone were to contact me, when it comes time to design the next one...I, really, believe if we worked together, next time, we could really get it right!
Exactly as promised.

Good quality, every compartment you might need in a stylish, compacted, but light weight and affordable purse . Perfect for travel.
Love this bag!
By KatSusie
from Thornton, CO
I have carried this same bag over about 17 years, that's right, 17 years because I love how organized it keeps my things. I was disappointed the last time I bought a new one because the strap is no longer completely leather. I think it takes away from the look and quality of the bag. I have had many compliments on the "purse" over the years.
Quality isn't what it use to be!
By ol farmer Tom
from Eugene, Oregon
About Me Classic Dresser
I use this as my men's purse. My last one lasted 10 years before the main zipper broke. The quality was much better on that one but to replace the zipper cost more then buying a new purse.This replacement won't last for 10 years I'm sure, maybe one year at best.

ABC Eyes 'Body Of Proof' Resurrection
EXCLUSIVE: Look who might be coming back from the dead. I've learned that ABC is considering bringing back crime drama Body Of Proof. I hear the discussions started at the beginning of the season, with the network expected to make a decision whether to move on with the revival, likely for midseason, within the next month as it gets a more clear picture of how many of its new series would stay on beyond the fall. As Body of Proof's cast, writers and crew have all moved on following the May cancellation (showrunner Evan Katz is executive producing Fox's 24: Live Another Day), there is a lot of work to be done to re-assemble a team and bring back star Dana Delany to be able to get the show up and running for midseason.

ABC's 'Body Of Proof' Looking To Break The Retool Curse
This month marks the return after extensive retooling of three drama series fronted by bona fide TV stars — Fox's Touch starring Kiefer Sutherland, NBC's Smash starring Debra Messing and ABC's Body Of Proof toplined by Dana Delany — just as the proposed retooling of another young broadcast series with top-notch cast, NBC comedy Up All Night, is going up in flames. Touch opened its second season with an underwhelming 1.0 rating among adults 18-49 and this past Friday plunged to a 0.7 rating in its second airing, effectively sealing its fate. (For now, Fox is not talking about pulling the show the way CBS did with The Job after its 0.7 showing last Friday but that seems a matter of time.) Smash's second season premiere also crashed with a 1.1 demo rating.
Going against the second episode of Smash tonight, ABC's tweaked Body Of Proof will be making its third-season debut as the crime procedural is looking to avoid the plight of many of its predecessors which didn't survive a retool. Ironically, the biggest new addition to the cast of Body Of Proof as part of the overhaul, Mark Valley, was the star of another series, Fox's Human Target, that was unsuccessfully revamped after its freshman season and didn't last past Season 2. "This has been a unique experience in that… I've been actually retooled myself," he quipped at the Body Of Proof TCA session last month. Other recent series that didn't last after a revamp include NBC's Law & Order: LA, retooled midway through a first season that became the series' last, as well as NBC's Harry's Law and USA's Fairly Legal, both rebooted after Season 1 and cancelled after Season 2. (In another coincidence, Valley was one of the new additions in Harry's Law's revamp.) In most cases, the networks like the overall premise and love the show's star (Sutherland, Delany, Up All Night's Christina Applegate, Will Arnett and Maya Rudolph; Human Target's Valley, Harry's Law's Kathy Bates and Fairly Legal's Sarah Shahi) and/or the series' auspices (Harry's Law's David E. Kelley, L&O: LA's Dick Wolf) but are looking to shake up soft ratings. Unfortunately, a reboot almost never provides the desired ratings jolt and often has the opposite effect as fickle viewers are rarely willing to give a show a second look, and cast changes sometime alienate core fans. (Body Of Proof axed three regulars in the reboot: John Carroll Lynch, Nicholas Bishop and Sonja Sohn). Read More »

Is Dana Delany ABC's Best Hope This Fall?
Back in May, ABC's previous boss Steve McPherson went for younger, hipper fare when programming new series Monday through Thursday. The show that seemed to be the closest to the ABC brand, Body of Proof - a female-driven procedural with a quirky central character and headlined by a familiar ABC star, Dana Delany – was sent to Fridays. Now, with many of those Monday-Thursday series crumbling and one, My Generation, already canceled, new ABC chief Paul Lee is taking a second look at Body of Proof and is planning to give it a time slot upgrade.

TCA: 'Body Of Proof' Not Dad's 'Quincy, ME'
ABC's new character-driven procedural Body of Proof stars Dana Delany as an ambitious medical examiner whose first career as a brilliant neurosurgeon was dashed after a car crash. Executive producer Matthew Gross dismissed parallels to the 1970s NBC series Quincy, M.E. "This is not your father's Quincy; it's a new take on medic examiners," he said. "We set out to do a character-driven procedural, started off with Dana's character, and grew form there." With that, Delany cracked a joke about her resemblance to Quincy star Jack Klugman.

Public space to Christians, Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams argues, is a valuable place where debate may take place between religious and secular authority.
Williams believes these "territorial battles" have led to the political dynamism of European society.
Although it took 1800 years, Archbishop Rowan Williams of Canterbury reminds us that Christianity played a crucial role in ending slavery.
This development, he says, provides a good example of the "religious quality of political power."
Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams explores the history of Christian attitudes toward bodily self-denial.
Williams believes that this asceticism, far from denying the pleasures of the body, sought to make human life "an effective sign of God."

Howell to Rule Against Virginia Senate Redistricting and Cuccinelli supports Revenue increases
Speaker of the Virginia House of Delegates, William Howell, will rule against the Senate redistricting plan, ruling it to be not 'germane' to the previous House bill. It's over, done, dead in the water. No delegate in Richmond will have to take a stand on this bill. How convenient for them.
Candidate for Governor, Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli is now supporting a transportation plan that will increase sales tax and be adjustable for inflation. It will increase revenues by $1.2 BILLION less than the Governor's plan. Both plans rely on internet sales tax passing the US Congress. Details here. There is still at least one courageous, true conservative, Senator in Richmond who is opposed to both plans since both include tax increases.
Bill Bolling continues to fight hard to be a democrat as he sides with the democrats on many Senate bills.
So, do I have this right? Republicans control the Governorship, and the General Assembly. Out of that they do not get the redistricting bill which would have meant a pickup of republican Senate seats but they do get a bill that will increase taxes. So glad that republicans are in charge in Richmond. It's really paying off for us. <sarcasm off>
Updates as I receive them.
6 Responses to "Howell to Rule Against Virginia Senate Redistricting and Cuccinelli supports Revenue increases"
Manny Brilliant. So the Dems can continue to get 40% of the Senate votes but 50% of the seats. If you combined all the Republicans in Richmond maybe you'd have enough vertebrae for one spine. Maybe
Lovettsville Lady If you are able to locate that spine, please let us know. I know republicans who are in drastic need of a transplant.
minpin06 From the article you linked-
"The plan Cuccinelli is backing would not raise sales tax or any fees. It would convert the 17.5 cents-a-gallon gas tax to a sales tax that could rise with inflation. It wasn't immediately clear how much the sales tax on gas would be."
Quote from the above article-
"Candidate for Governor, Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli is now supporting a transportation plan that will increase sales tax and be adjustable for inflation."
When I read the article, I was about to give up on my avid support for Cuccinelli, but knew I had to check the facts further. It's a good thing I read the linked article to find that Cuccinelli is not increasing sales taxes on everything we buy, but is keeping the tax on gas, just renaming it a sales tax, rather than a gas tax. Don't know if the rate will increase, but, it keeps the tax focused on those that use the roadways, rather than on every Virginian that buys anything that is taxed through sales taxes. I don't like any tax increases, but the plan backed by Cuccinelli is much more palatable than the McDonnell plan. The Cuccinelli plan also relives a huge burden on the state vehicle fleet that McDonnell is trying to convert to alternative fuel vehicles. That would have cost the state the McDonnell proposed fee of $100 per state owned vehicle.
I do hate that Cuccinelli is keeping the internet sales tax as a part of his plan, but, that is so unlikely to be passed in the federal Congress it is almost a dead on arrival initiative. Perhaps Cuccinelli will find areas in the budget that are not essential. Perhaps he will look to cutting the unnecessary funding for green energy initiatives that are not anywhere near a reliable or cost effective reality.
I love that Cuccinelli is willing to look at the VA. state budget, and will cut many areas that are overfunded to begin with, including education. Whatever happened to the days when local school taxes, often included in property tax bills, in order to fund the educational system long before it was taken over by the feds and their rules, regulations, testing requirements, and that supported everyone in the school system but the students? How about the Kaine centralized department to collect all data from all veterinarians to send to your local office to insure you buy a pet license?
Lovettsville Lady Right. If it brings in BILLIONS of new revenue, HELLO, it's tax increase!
David C.F. Ray The Cuccinelli-Newman plan absolutely IS a tax increase, unless the price of gas radically falls.
Under the current law, we all pay 17½¢ in tax per GALLON purchased, regardless of the underlying retail price of gas. In other words, when you see gas at $3.509 per gallon, it WOULD'VE been $3.334 per gallon WITHOUT the gas tax. And if gas shoots back up to $4.259 a gallon, you're still only paying 17½¢ per gallon in gas tax.
Under Cuccinelli-Newman, applying the 5½% SALES tax RATE to your purchase, when the price of gas goes up, the amount of tax PER GALLON also increases. So which politician will ever have ANY incentive to support policies to reduce gas prices (like allowing offshore drilling) when he realizes this REDUCES the revenues to the Commonwealth?
Make no mistake — Cuccinelli-Newman is a tax HIKE — if it weren't these guys wouldn't be offering it.
Lovettsville Lady Exactly! If the state is going to take in over a BILLION dollars, where do they think that money will come from? Fall from the sky? Of course not. It's a tax increase! I am very disappointed that even Cuccinelli is supporting tax increases.

The answer is to let that mother choose her own gift by presenting her with the thoughtful gift of an Ideal Baby & Kids gift card. Available in denominations ranging from $25 to $500, you not only ensure that your gift will turn into an amazing baby product or item for the nursery, but the mom gets the gift of being able to shop for it herself, and everyone knows that shopping is half the fun! So, this time, when you get that baby shower invitation, you can certainly get her one of the many amazing baby-safe products offered at Ideal Baby & Kids, but maybe the real solution is a gift card so she can choose for herself exactly what she needs for her baby. An even better idea? Buy a gift from our catalog, and add a gift card in an envelope and double the thank you hugs you'll receive when she opens up your gift. If you have any questions about our gift cards, or any of the incredible baby product lines we offer, please contact us through our link at the top of the page, or call us on our toll-free number, 888-722-2944, for immediate assistance. *Please note that gift cards purchased online can only be used for online purchases only.

America's idea of itself is inextricably tied to the opening of the American West. In the 19th century America embraced the entrepreneurs, and rugged individuals who sought to reinvent themselves by going west.
Joe Manchin seems to have forgotten who we are. He seems to have forgotten that it was not the bankers or the boy scouts who opened the West, it was the entrepreneurs, and yes, the hucksters, and the speculators, and all manner of flawed characters looking for a place where they could enjoy the relative freedom of the frontier, away from the tentacles of an overreaching government.
He seems to have forgotten that, more than anything else, it was the frenzied speculation of the Gold Rush that led to California becoming a state, the building of roads, churches, and schools throughout California and the development of the transcontinental railroad that bound California to the rest of the United States.
Senator Manchin says that we must protect innocent people from losing money by speculating in Bitcoin. As far as I know, we did not feel the obligation to protect the 49ers from losing money during the Gold Rush, and the vast majority of them lost everything they had. I would be shocked to learn that a meaningful number of them asked for help, just as I would be shocked to learn that anyone speculating in bitcoin today has asked Senator Manchin for help.
I agree that America should lead, but we should lead in a way that is consistent with who we are. We have never before been afraid to explore a frontier. Why start now?

Ultimately, this is also wanting to maintain ownership. If I made a deal with a traditional distributor, I'd not only be selling the theatrical rights and TV and DVD rights, I'd have to sell it all for 15 to 20 years. This is very personal for me, and I think it is the first step in where I think the industry is heading. I did this MacTaggart Lecture in Edingurgh, and I spoke about platforms and where things are moving and how there is incredible talent finding new ways to be discovered and seen. I think what interested me now is trying to walk the walk of my MacTaggart speech, and not just talk the talk.

Curios to hear the USV.com community's thoughts on this as a solution to some of the many problems in higher educations.
Some key takeaways from the post:
There's a huge disconnect between what universities teach and what employers need. A college degree is a highly inefficient way for one to prove job qualification and for employers to evaluate it. These are problems for both employers and students/job seekers.
Employers spend massive amounts of money on training and recruiting and people spend massive amounts of money on education. Tuition inflation and the internet are major forces changing the industry.
If companies started universities it could be great for students/job seekers as well as a big revenue opportunity and cost saving for companies. A more effective way for people to prove job qualifications and for employers to evaluate could drastically change the higher education industry.

#FridayFunFact3: Pinterest is now the third most popular social network in the U.S. behind Facebook and Twitter.

From January 2012 to February 2012, traffic went up 50 percent.

Norway's Helikopter Service, now part of CHC Europe, a division of CHC Helicopter Corp. of Canada, is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year. The company, founded in Oslo by Morten Hanke in 1956, was the first to begin civil helicopter operations in Norway, with a Bell 47.
Bristow Norway
Bristow Group celebrated its new brand identity with the unveiling of a redecorated S-76 at the Sikorsky Aircraft booth (No. 2537) yesterday. The company was formerly known as Offshore Logistics, but a survey among customers and employees last year confirmed that the Bristow brand name was stronger and should be applied to all the company's business units, said Bristow president and CEO William Chiles.
Although one of the helicopters sharing the Eurocopter booth here in Dallas may look like a Russian attack aircraft, its true role is far less aggressive.
Norsk Helikopter's third Sikorsky S-92 entered revenue service last month. The helicopter is under contract to BP Norge and Talisman Energy Norge, flying their employees to and from oil platforms in the North Sea.
