Luscious Lisbon
People always seem to forget about Portugal. Stuck on the side of Spain like some sort of geopolitical afterthought, it's a bit like Canada is to the US, or New Zealand to Australia or Wales to England – the constant bridesmaid to its larger, better-known and internationally more popular neighbour. ... Read more »
But just as bridesmaids can provide the best fun at a wedding – and on a wedding night! – so Lisbon, Portugal's capital, can show you what you've been missing by spending all your time on the other part of the Iberian Peninsula.
From the grandeur of Belem where monuments seemingly occur on every corner to the ancient narrow lanes of Baixa to the pumping dance scene in the hills of Bairro Alto, Lisbon is a city that enchants with its diversity and acceptance of the old and the new. Overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, it's easy to see why the population of Lisbon is so obsessed with the sea and its exploration. With glorious beaches on the coast and the unbelievably magical Sintra, with its Moorish castle and trendy inhabitants just a short drive away, Lisbon really is Portugal's crowning glory.
Lisbon provides all the best elements of Europe, and yet somehow offers a completely unique experience. Happy to thrive on its history and embrace tomorrow at the same time, Lisbon is the perfect blend of tradition and innovation. The Ponte Vasco de Gama is the longest bridge in Europe and proof that Lisbon is a city that is experiencing a new Renaissance, thriving where others are failing, and well worth visiting.
Lisbon's Top 10
10. Feira Popular This amusement park is not a cookie cutter of its Western counterparts but maintains its local flavour with a fairground atmosphere. |
5. MuDe – Design and Fashion Museum Comprising over 1200 pieces of high fashion and over 1000 pieces of earth-shattering design. If you read Vogue, this museum is for you. |
9. Jardim Botanico Arguably the most beautiful garden open to the public in Lisbon. |
4. Gulbenkian Museum An enormous collection, collated over 40 years, of ancient art in the form of paintings, murals and sculptures. |
8. Arcadeas da Faia Specialising in the best Portuguese cuisine, opening late night and closing early morning – this is for the night owls with a hunger. |
3. Berardo Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art Home of one of the world's largest and best modern art collections, including Jackson Pollock, Andy Warhol and Pablo Picasso. |
7. Oceanarium Named after Portugal's most famous explorer and dedicated entirely to sea life, it features over 4000 specimens and 200 live examples. |
2. Belem Tower Originally a fortress to defend Lisbon harbour, its famous white wall has become an icon of both old and new Lisbon. |
6. . St. Georges Castle Iconic Lisbon landmark, the current building dates from the middle ages. Fascinating history and wonderful views. |
1. Jeronimos Monastery A World Heritage monument and the final resting place of Vasco De Gama. Jeronimos' spires have been carefully hand-sculpted over 500 years ago and it seems otherworldly in its perfection. |

Lisbon Local
The heart of Lisbon is a place of broad squares and massive pedestrian-only boulevards. The primary shopping and business district was rebuilt after a great earthquake, meaning houses that would have been odd and sprawling are now uniform in design and size.
Comercio Square borders the river and is centred on a grand statue of King Jose I. The cafes and shops that flank the streets create a cosmopolitan vibe, but be sure to check under your feet as the pavement design is very intricate and almost mosaic in its patterns. Rossio Square is the liveliest spot in the city, with so much happening you may miss the two baroque cupid fountains flanking it. Its cobblestone streets lead up to the doorway of the neoclassical Dona Maria II National Theatre.
BelemYou'd be forgiven for thinking that you've stepped back in time as you enter the Belem district. Here, it's easy to see how Portuguese explorers and traders once held the world in their palms. Belem and its enormous monuments celebrate the Age of Discovery. Although home to some of Lisbon's most-famous attractions, there are some lesser-known yet still magnificent sights that are often overlooked. The Ajuda Palace and Coaches Museum are an experience in 18th century grandeur and lavishness. If you choose to travel by foot, the 25 de Abril Bridge provides a perfect view of the surrounds.
While Belem allows you a glimpse of 16th Century Lisbon, Alfama takes you further back to the days of Roman settlement and medieval occupation. Experience some of the unique art that Lisbon has produced at the Tile Museum. Room after room is lined with beautiful paintings, including the 23-metre-long landscape of Lisbon before the Great Earthquake of 1755.
The narrow streets and white buildings are more reminiscent of Greece then the rest of Portugal. It's easy to get lost in these maze-like alleyways. The National Pantheon is also a source of local pride, partly because it took several centuries to build!
Take a step forward in time and realise what the Lisbon of the future will bring, in the trendy and up-and-coming suburb of Parque das Nacoes. Modern attractions include the Vasco De Gama Shopping Centre and the innovative Oceanarium.
Lisbon Casino is both modern and stylish, and is home to restaurants and bars as well as the casino itself. It is also worth taking a life to the top of the Vasco De Gama Tower, the city's tallest building, and taking in the view.
Medieros e Almeda MuseumMedieros e Almeda Museum provides the best of business, art and shopping – all in one convenient location. Colombo provides one of the largest shopping experiences in Europe, with a wide range of international chains as well as local boutique gems. The Fronteira Palace is home to extravagant gardens and a palatial estate. Once summer home to the Portuguese court, its moat is unbelievably deep. The Medieros e Almeda Museum is one of the largest private collections of fine art in the world and houses some unique treasures.
Lisbon Eat & Drink
Eleven Boasting two Michelin stars and consistently ranked the best restaurant in Portugal, Eleven creates a new international take on local classics. |
Cinco Lounge Known for its exceptional cocktails and low light. The hardest decision you'll make is not whether you want to go here but what you should drink – with a cocktail list exceptionally varied for every tastebud and budget. Principe Real |
Bocca Sophisticated yet unpretentious, Bocca provides an extensive collection of international dishes at (comparatively) reasonable prices. The set menu offers a lot of options, but go for the seven-course taster and follow the wine recommendations (the sommelier is the nicest old man you will ever meet). |
Manga Rosa The closest Lisbon has to a chic New York cocktail bar, Manga Rosa offers affordable opulence – the décor is somewhere between modern and antique and its clientele are out to enjoy themselves! |
Pap' Acorda One of the more expensive Lisbon options, Pap' Acorda has a lot of critics but also its fair share of champions. The common criticism is that the waiters are incredibly arrogant and the décor obsessively 'rich', but this should be taken with a grain of (expensive) salt. |
Bedroom Bar:With giant beds, cushions and bedside tables, Bedroom Bar sets the scene for a less-than-sleepy night out. Top-class DJs, excellent sounds. |
Tavares Opening in the 18th Century, the menu offers central European fare with Portuguese takes – expect French and Italian with a seafood edge. |
Lisbon Events
In January, the Winter Festival occurs, with a combination of art and music on offer.
In June, Lisbon celebrates the Christian Pantheon of Saints. The city is packed with bright and colourful parades, costumes and streamers. If you can, take in the St. Anthony's parade every 12 June. Twelve couples get married and parade through the city – then the procession ends with a flourish of folk dancing and samba bands.
On the 9 July every year, over 10,000 people cram the streets in the city centre for the Gay and Lesbian Pride March. The local LGBT community comes out (so to speak) with whacky costumes and bright colours, filling the streets with a lot of happiness and a lot of music.
The best international and local jazz musicians call Lisbon home during the month of August, for the Jazz in August Open-air Festival.
When To Go
Lisbon has an extremely mild climate, capturing the heat of Spain but the cool of the Atlantic perfectly.
Summer (June-September) days can be ridiculously hot, but the nights make up for it by being very cool.
Autumn (September-December) and winter (December-March) are the coldest and wettest periods, although they are also the perfect time to discover a slower-paced Portugal.
What To Avoid
Avoid ticket hawkers or counterfeit goods sellers. They often double as drug dealers and are everywhere. The police seem to have turned a blind eye to the sale of drugs in public.
Beware of small groups of local hooligans lurking around nightspots. Also, pickpockets are rife in the city centre at night, so leave all unnecessary valuables in the hotel safe.
Avoid music clubs with good food – it's a sign that the music won't be any good! Similarly, avoid restaurants with music. The two don't seem to mix in Lisbon!
Getting Around
Buses are the most convenient way to get around Lisbon. Pre-buying tickets ticket provides discounts.
The metro is the most beautiful way to travel around Lisbon as it's slow enough for you to catch a glimpse of the city passing by, and the insides are usually decorated quite extensively and painstakingly.
Linking the upper and lower parts of the city, a series of lifts are favoured over the winding streets. They can however prove quite expensive and aren't very quick.

Do You Hear the People Sing
Do You Hear the People Sing
Sat, 05/04/2013 - 12:00pm - 1:00pm
With glorious new staging and dazzlingly reimagined scenery inspired by the paintings of Victor Hugo, the 25th anniversary production of Boublil & Schönberg's legendary musical, Les Miserables will be on stage at the Auditorium Theatre May 7-12. Join Host Robert Hammond and his guest Richard Todd Adams for this week's Stage Notes. A graduate the Juilliard School of Music, Adams is the foreman and the understudy for Jean Valjean and Javert. He'll talk about the process he goes through regularly when he's called on to perform either role in a moment's notice. In 2004, Adams placed 1st in the Lotta Lenya Competition.
Richard Todd Adams recently came "full circle" as he returned to PHANTOM OF THE OPERA, playing the Phantom on the United States national tour. He had previously been on the tour for all of 1998 and 1999 as Raoul, both with that same national tour as well as the Los Angeles company of PHANTOM.
Adams in the role of the Phantom of the Opera
He made his Broadway debut in 2005 in Andrew Lloyd Webber's WOMAN IN WHITE, appearing in the ensemble and also understudying and performing the role of the villainous Sir Percival Glyde. He then was a part of the ensemble of the Alain Boublil/Claude-Michel Schoenberg musical THE PIRATE QUEEN -- first in its Chicago out-of-town tryout and then on Broadway in 2007. He understudied the roles of Donal and Bingham in that production, but never went on. A native Texan, Richard received his Bachelors of Music from Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas and his Masters in Music from The Juilliard School. He won the 2008 Jeff Award (Chicago's version of the Tony's) for his portrayal of Javert in LES MISERABLES at the Marriott Lincolnshire Theatre, alongside fellow PHANTOM cohorts John Cudia and Kathy Voytko. Off-Broadway, he has appeared in BERLIN TO BROADWAY WITH KURT WEILL as the Tenor at the Triad Theater, Michael John LaChiusa's LITTLE FISH at Second Stage, and David Friedman's LISTEN20TO MY HEART at Studio 54. Regionally, he has starred as the title role(s) in JEKYLL AND HYDE at three different theatres: the Cultural Arts Playhouse in Bethpage, Long Island, Seaside Music Theatre in Daytona Beach, Florida, and the John W Engeman Theatre in Northport, Long Island. In the latter production, he met his future wife, Maria Eberline. Other regional highlights include Percy in THE SCARLET PIMPERNEL, Father in RAGTIME, Dickinson in 1776, and Ravenal in SHOWBOAT. He spent nearly two years with the show 2 PIANOS, 4 HANDS, portraying both the roles of Ted and Richard, with his friend Tom Frey. They took the show to the Ordway Center in St Paul, Minnesota, to Geva Theatre in Rochester, New York, to the Hippodrome Theatre in Gainesville, Florida, and to theatres all across Canada. The two actors also starred together in BILLY BISHOP GOES TO WAR at Geva Theatre, alternating the roles of Billy and the Piano Player every two performances. He was honored to be the winner of the 2004 Lotte Lenya Competition through the Kurt Weill Foundation, appearing in concerts at Lincoln Center and in Germany as part of the award. He thanks his parents, his wife, and newborn son, Nathaniel Emmitt, for all their love as well as a big thank you to all fans and audiences across the United States and Canada.

Fire crews dealing with hot spots near Algonquin Park
Ground crews were dealing with hot spots Sunday in what officials are calling a contained fire area close to the northeastern border of Algonquin Park.
The fire is burning close to Barron Canyon Road in the remote ranges of a Canadian Forces Base Petawawa training area that covers about 340 square kilometres.
It was first spotted at about 2 p.m. ET Thursday, according to CFB Petawawa public affairs officer Sally-Ann Cyr, and was contained Saturday after bulldozers cut lines into the woods surrounding the fire to prevent it from spreading.
On Sunday afternoon, Cyr said a second, smaller fire was spotted in the same training area on Saturday. It covered about five hectares by Sunday and was "slowly growing," she said in a media release.
Cause of fire not yet confirmed
The original fire grew from 150 hectares to about 210 hectares on Friday afternoon, Ministry of Natural Resources spokesman Doug Skeggs said. But by Friday evening, falling temperatures and rising humidity slowed it down.
Cyr said officials were hoping they could classify the fire as "held" by Sunday evening if weather conditions stay stable.
Cyr would not confirm if there was a military exercise underway when the fire was first spotted. Exercises were taking place, but not in the area that the fire was detected, Cyr said.
The training area includes a firing range.
By Saturday morning, the fire in some places was about 100 metres away from the edge of Algonquin Park, Skeggs said.
The fire is now contained within one area, but not yet under control.
A helicopter was assigned to the fire Sunday and may do some bucket drops of water, Skeggs said.
Skeggs said the local forecast calls for the possibility of thundershowers with little rain, which could pose a problem for firefighting efforts and potentially start a new blaze.
Eastern portion of park successfully evacuated
By about 6:15 p.m. ET Friday an evacuation notice was issued, affecting the eastern portion of the park. About 400 campers and canoers in the area were given four hours to pack up and leave.
By Sunday morning, the evacuation was complete.
No injuries or property damage have yet been reported.
The base's fire station is equipped with three tankers and anywhere from seven to 13 firefighters, Cyr said, adding that all available fire crews were being deployed.
On Thursday, the park had issued an open fire ban for campers as a precaution, because dry conditions in the region had made the area susceptible to brush fires.

September 5, 2013
The UHS Foundation's Women Fore Women Golf Classic has raised more than $725,000 over the past 17 years, an extraordinary achievement for a local charity golf tournament.
"These dollars are being used exclusively for diagnostic equipment to address women's health issues and improve the lives of women in our community," said Betsy Pietriyk, executive director of the Foundation.
A total of 108 women have signed up to play in the 17th annual tournament on Friday, Sept. 6, to be held at The Links at Hiawatha Landing in Apalachin.
Players will begin teeing off at 1 p.m.
Following the golf outing, the Foundation will host an evening banquet at the Links that will feature the presentation of the Women Fore Women Health Leadership Award.
This year's winner is UHS Hospitals gynecologist Nancy Shumeyko, MD, who is described as a "promoter of good health" among women and an "advocate for every single one of her patients."
Said one of her nominators: "When you see Dr. Shumeyko for care, you get the feeling that you are her only patient."
The Foundation has presented the award to a deserving community member every year since 2004.
The purpose of the tourney is twofold: to raise community awareness about health concerns unique to women, and to raise money for equipment to fight breast cancer and other diseases.
UHS is a locally owned, not-for-profit, 916-bed hospital and healthcare system serving Greater Binghamton and surrounding counties. Founded in 1981, UHS provides a full range of medical, surgical, rehabilitative and long-term care services from more than 60 locations around New York's Southern Tier.

Did Apple pay big bucks in iAds settlement?
A trademark lawsuit filed against Apple by a Web advertising firm over the term "iAds" was quietly settled in July.
No one has disclosed exactly how the case was resolved but Apple now owns the "iAds" trademark, and last week a company peripherally involved in the suit posted a note to the Web that said Apple paid a "seven-figure settlement."
At Apple's iOS 4 event on April 8, CEO Steve Jobs announced Apple's iAds program. A month later, Innovate Media, an online ad agency headquartered near Los Angeles, filed a trademark suit … Read more

Rally for the Common Good Archives
Theme: Children and Poverty
In 2012-2013 Rally for the Common Good hosted two events on the issue of helping children who are trapped in poverty.
This event occured on March 17, 2013 at 4:00pm at Restoration Christian Fellowship. The speaker for the evening was Lillian Gitau, a Child Protection Technical Advisor for Compassion International. In addition there was a combined children's choir from local churches, a steppers group, and a mime group.
The second event occured on February 25-26, 2013, 11:00am - 12:00pm on campus at the Denver Seminary chapel. The director of Compassion International, Naomi Cramer Overton, spoke on Monday and there was a panel discussion on Tuesday.
Speaker Bios:
Lillian Gitau
Lillian Gitau was born in Kenya and currently serves as the Child Protection Technical Advisor for Compassion International. She is the global coordinator of Interventions related to Highly Vulnerable Children (HVC) and Child Protection for Compassion and supports the implementation of these programs in the 28 Field offices around the world where Compassion has operations.
Lillian has been with Compassion for almost 10 years, having served in the Compassion Kenya office for two years as a Program Communications Manager from 2003 to 2005. After relocating to the U.S. in the summer of 2005, she served in the role of program specialist at Compassion's headquarters in Colorado Springs, helping to start the implementation of programs for Orphans and Vulnerable Children (OVC) in Africa. The role later expanded to include child protection, where she has since served in the capacity of Child Protection Advisor. In the current role, she has successfully led efforts in the creation of a global strategy for Highly Vulnerable Children who are registered in Compassion's programs. She has also spearheaded the development of a specialized Child Protection and Foster Care curriculum, designed for Compassion's field office staff, church staff, registered children and their caregivers.
Before joining Compassion International, Lillian served as a deputy Marketing Manager for a large non-profit in Kenya for five years, and prior as an investment Banker for a reputable bank in Kenya for three years. It was while serving at the non-profit organization in Kenya that she felt the Lord leading her to serve children living in poverty in her country. Having been raised by her grandparents between the ages of 0-7 years, going to bed hungry, and experiencing other vulnerabilities, are just some of the few factors that ignited in her a passion to serve children living in poverty. As an advocate for children, she holds the strong conviction that no child is poor –only circumstances make them poor; that every child deserves an opportunity to be all that God made them to be and wants them to be. She is always grateful that she was given that opportunity herself as a child growing up in poverty, and believes that no barrier is insurmountable, no situation beyond redemption for any child, as long as the Lord is in it.
She received a Bachelor's degree in Economics from Egerton, Kenya University in 1994, and later on received a Masters degree in Business Administration from United States International University in Africa (USIU).
She is married to Nicholas Gitau, who works for an information technology firm in Denver, Colorado. They are blessed with two children – a daughter, Pendo (4 years) and a son, Udi (2 years). The family's heartfelt desire is to be used of the Lord in a way that glorifies Him, to make a difference in the lives of others, especially children.
Naomi Cramer Overton
"See Jesus' love radically bless generations;" that's Naomi Cramer Overton's vision.
As a Jesus-‐follower, wife, mom, worker, speaker and writer, Naomi engages God's people in bringing more justice and beauty to our families, communities and world.
Past President of MOPS International and now a Director at Compassion International, Naomi speaks from her experiences and from doctorate studies at Fuller Theological Seminary and advisory positions with The Search Institute (founder of the Developmental Assets) and other organizations.
She has written for MOPS magazines MomSense and Connections and annual theme books. Prior to that, as a news reporter and speaker her work has aired on NBC network news, ABC affiliates and she has spoken at seminary and industry events. She has taught Bible studies for groups in her community and through video curriculum reaching 100,000 influencers nationwide.
Naomi holds degrees from Stanford University and UCLA and has worked with church, Fortune 50, media, government, and nonprofit organizations.
Bringing more beauty and justice to the world begins at home and Naomi simply digs her family. Married to her college sweetheart Frank and mom of three teens, Tyler, Delaney and Katriel, you'll find them Friday night in their basement, watching Netflix, and dropping popcorn between the cushions. Their dog Coco Loco doesn't mind a bit!

Speaker Bio: Dr. John Perkins
In 1983, while in California, John Perkins and his wife, Vera Mae Perkins along with a few friends and other major supporters, established the John M. Perkins Foundation for Reconciliation & Development, Inc. for the sole purpose of supporting their mission of advancing the principles of Christian community development and racial reconciliation throughout the world. The Foundation is now headquartered at 1831 Robinson St. in Jackson, MS with a mission to "develop the lives of youth, leaders and the underprivileged in our community and around the world, by setting an example of God's love to further his Kingdom."
John M. Perkins was born a sharecropper's son who grew up in New Hebron, Mississippi amidst dire poverty. Fleeing to California at age 17 after his older brother's murder at the hands of a town marshal, he vowed never to return. However after converting to Christianity in 1960 he returned to Mendenhall, Mississippi to share the gospel of Christ. While in Mississippi, his outspoken nature and support and leadership in civil rights demonstrations resulted in repeated harassment, beatings and imprisonment. He again was arrested in 2005 year while protesting in Washington D.C. against U. S. Government defunding of programs aiding the poor.
In 1989, John Perkins called together a group of Christian leaders from across America that was bonded by one significant commitment—expressing the love of Christ in America's poor communities, not at arms length, but at the grass-roots level. An association was formed and the Christian Community Development Association (CCDA) held its first annual conference in Chicago in 1989. CCDA has grown from 37 founding members to 6,800 individuals and 600 churches, ministries, institutions and businesses in more than 100 cities and townships across the country.
Despite being a third grade drop-out, Perkins has been recognized for his work with ten honorary doctorates from colleges and universities across the country. He is an international speaker and teacher on racial reconciliation, leadership and the philosophy of ministry known as Christian Community Development.
Theme: Christians and Political Engagement
The Rally for the Common Good events were held February 22 and 23, 2009. Dr. Gerry O. Gallimore, Ambassador-at-Large for Youth for Christ International, was our guest speaker.

Are you Staging Homes for the Holidays?
By Barb Schwarz, Stagedhomes.com
This time a year I am often asked by real estate professionals and stagers whether they should stage their client's homes for sale in a special way for the holidays.
My answer? Yes.
It's absolutely essential that we stage according to the season we are in. Here are some suggestions to consider:
Stage it Green Using the 4C's
By Barb Schwarz, Stagedhomes.com
Staging a home for sale involves a number of key things to do and here are four of my top things. I call them the "4 C's" in home staging (and they're considered "green staging" in this way as well): Clutter free, Clean, Color and Creative.
Clutter Free
Turn chaos into order and peace. Americans are the largest consumers in the world. We have too much "stuff" everywhere! When you want to sell your house you need to go through room by room and remove excess items. Leave space between items, on the walls, and floor to show off the architectural features of the house.
The room will feel larger–and better because it'll feel more spacious. Buyers need to see and feel the space to buy it. Whether the house you are selling is vacant or lived in, you do not want the rooms empty but you also do not want them overcrowded with too much "stuff" either.
Once it's clutter-free, commit to keeping the room this way by not bringing in more "stuff". Below are some important ideas to remember and do:
By Barb Schwarz, Stagedhomes.com
One of the greatest rewards of my career has always been to hear from stagers and real estate agents on their staging success stories. Over the years the stories are many, and I thought I would take this opportunity to share a few of these stories on the difference home staging can make for real estate agents and their sellers.
The following are some stories we collected from graduates of the Accredited Staging Professional® program. Then, chime in with your stories on how staging has made a difference in your business!
Prepping a Home for Sale: Simple Staging Tips for Inside and Out
By Barb Schwarz, Stagedhomes.com
Before you show your home to any potential buyer, you want to make sure the staging is perfect. Follow these general tips and your home will look better than the competition.
- Clear all unnecessary objects from furniture throughout the house. Keep accessories and objects on the furniture restricted to groups of 1, 3, or 5 items. In general, a de-cluttered home helps the buyer mentally "move in" with their own things. Rearrange or remove some of the furniture in your home, if necessary. Many times home owners have too much furniture in a room. When it comes to selling your home, thin out overcrowded rooms to make the rooms appear larger.
- Clear all unnecessary objects from the kitchen countertops. If it hasn't been used for three months…put it away! Clear refrigerator fronts of messages, magnets, pictures, etc.
- In the bathroom, remove any unnecessary items from the countertops, tub, shower stall, and commode top. Keep only the most necessary cosmetics, brushes, perfumes, etc., in one small group on the counter. Coordinate towels in one or two colors only.
- Take down, reduce, or rearrange pictures and objects on walls. Patch and paint all walls, if necessary.
- Review the house interior, room by room, and… Continue reading »
Justifying Staging to Get Properties Sold
By Barb Schwarz, Stagedhomes.com
I was recently interviewed by a real estate publication and I thought I would share the answers I gave to the reporter's questions here at the Styled, Staged & Sold blog.
What's new in the world of home staging? How has it changed in the last two years?
The pendulum is swinging; the public is now becoming the driving force to make sure their home gets staged for sale. Real estate professionals are still crucial in driving the world of home staging but many real estate agents hang back to the point where now the seller is the one asking, "Aren't you going to tell me to get my house staged?"
The down economy also has driven the need for home staging more than ever before. With short sales, bank-owned properties, and the traditional sellers–all of these entities are in fierce competition to get the house sold. We are now seeing even short sales and bank-owned properties being staged. So for any traditional seller to compete they must have their home staged to have any chance to sell in today's market.
Why is it important for staging and real estate professionals to team up to sell houses, especially in this economy?
Home stagers and real estate professionals are teaming up more and more to give turnkey service to the seller. The agent's job is to get the property priced and to do the marketing to get it sold. The home stager merchandizes the property so that the marketing pays off. They are working hand in hand. In today's economy, the home stager is making money for the agent because without the house staged it sits and in the end the real estate agent either gets little commission or none. Therefore, working together, the seller wins, the agent wins, and the stager wins.
Is staging then being considered part of the real estate professional's marketing plan? Who pays for it? Continue reading »
When Staging, Full Disclosure of Property Defects Is Essential
By Barb Schwarz, Stagedhomes.com
There is still a lot of misperception about what staging is, and these days, with Twitter, Facebook, and blogs, information spreads quickly. Each time I come across information that incorrectly describes staging I think of how important it is for us to always educate those we work with, and those we want to work with.
Just the other day an online article was brought to my attention: The article went into great lengths of how staging is about covering up things in a home for sale, thus creating a deception for home buyers visiting the home.
The article further described how agents specifically should caution prospective buyers when they see a staged home, and that "82 percent of home buyers are likely to be distracted from important issues when they go through a staged home. In addition, 51 percent of the respondents noted that staged homes often cover up real defects including structural damage."
Of course we know this notion couldn't be further from the truth. At ASP® Staging, we emphasize that staging is all about fully disclosing every feature of a property, not hiding it. Staging is never about fooling people.
By Barb Schwarz, Stagedhomes.com
In recent weeks I've come across an increasing number of online articles discussing what's often referred to as a new kind of Staging: Virtual staging. Being that I created the concept of Home Staging, a few days ago I was asked about my views on the similarities and differences between virtual staging and Home Staging by ASP®, Accredited Home Staging Professionals.
Virtual Staging is most often described as a service where consultants receive photos from sellers in which they then manipulate to show various improvements. A picture of an empty living room may be enhanced by the addition of images of a sofa, coffee table, and other furniture and accessories. An empty bedroom may look as if there's a bed in the room once a virtual staging rendition is completed.
Important to note: There is never an actual client meeting or physical consultation involved with virtual staging. Instead, knowledge about a property is only gained through images; no physical changes to a home are actually made.
So, are there similarities between virtual staging and Home Staging performed by Accredited Home Staging Professionals®? Absolutely.
'Let Me Tell You How I Work': How to Create a Powerful Value Message and Why it Matters
By Barb Schwarz, Stagedhomes.com
You're at a fundraising event when someone stops by and asks what you do. "I am an Accredited Home Staging Professional® or REALTOR®," you say. Unfortunately, that description will not spell out the value you bring to a transaction to the consumers and others you tell it to.
In today's blog post, I thought I'd share with you how to make sure every message you deliver, whether delivered in person, print or online, is as effective and powerful as it should be.
No matter how you meet a consumer or fellow real estate industry professional–whether in person, through your blog, web site, or even Facebook and Twitter–it's essential to make sure that the messages you provide instantly give a vivid picture of what you do and the positive impact of your work.
1. Have power messages to clarify what you do.
Those you come in contact with may be unfamiliar with exactly what you as a real estate professional or stager do. In fact, often consumers have various perceptions of what real estate professionals do, and often they are not correct. Equally, many consumers and real estate professionals have misconceptions about staging and what stagers do.
Make sure to include a power statement immediately. For stagers, and real estate professionals communicating the value of staging to sellers, consider mentioning the selling impact of staging as proved by the ASP® statistics we provide you with at Stagedhomes.com, such as "I help sellers sell homes faster and for more money." You may also consider sharing "I'll gladly share how staging helps sell homes for top dollars in any market."
For many years I've developed messages that speak directly to the needs of sellers and their real estate professionals. Some of them include key staging specific messages, such as:
1. Decorating is personalizing, staging is depersonalizing. Staging is not decorating.
2. Staging is not about decorating your home; it's about selling your house.
3. "Clutter eats equity!"
4. "We can't sell it if we can't see it."
Understanding Staging Services for Seller, Agent and Stager
By Barb Schwarz, Stagedhomes.com
There's been a drastic change within the real estate world just in the last few years. Competition in the market continues, and sellers and agents alike are working to find solutions that will make a home stand out in the crowd.
The down economy has driven the need for Accredited Staging Professionals® (ASPs®) more than ever before. In fact, we are seeing more ASP® home stagers as part of real estate teams. With an ever-growing number of short sales and bank-owned properties in markets all over the country, sellers of homes in regular price levels are in fierce competition to get the house sold.
Just the other day I was asked to define staging services and how they relate to the seller, the agent, and the stager.
First of all, the success of staging speaks for itself. Consider that statistics gathered by Stagedhomes.com shows that 94.6 percent of homes staged by an Accredited Staging Professional® sell within 33 days, compared to an average of 196 days for homes that are not staged. Homes staged by Accredited Staging Professionals® stay on the market 83 percent less time than a home that has not been staged. Continue reading »
Staging a Home to Sell Faster and for More Money
By Barb Schwarz, Stagedhomes.com
Home sellers and REALTORS® have two priorities: sell the property fast and for as much money as possible. Market-sensitive pricing and a well-executed marketing plan to get the most attention in the marketplace are, of course, crucial. Equally important is to make sure a property makes a great first impression. These days, with more than 80 percent going online to begin their home search, it's imperative that the first impression not only is made when visiting a home, but as important through pictures in Web listing.
Statistics gathered by Stagedhomes.com shows that 94.6 percent of homes staged by an Accredited Staging Professional (ASP®) sell within 33 days, compared to an average of 196 days for homes that are not staged. Homes staged by ASP®s stay on the market 83 percent less time than a home that has not been staged.
Completion of Home Staging: Thursday. Contract: Friday.
Too good to be true? Not at all. Just ask Carmen Wilber of DeLand in East Central, Florida.
Carmen, ASP®, and owner of Style Fusion Home Staging, recently got a call from the owners of a vacant home that had been on the market for two months with plenty of visitors yet no offers. Those who had seen the home, the REALTOR® representing the home shared, couldn't easily visualize what it would like to live in the home. It was clear the property needed to be staged.
After an initial walk-through of the house, when Carmen described her staging process and the improvements she recommended, she went to work. Continue reading »

Gwinnett Daily Post
LAWRENCEVILLE - Last time around, voters packed the county courthouse. They stood in lines for hours, some of them spending the entire workday waiting their turns to cast a ballot.
With all those people, the courthouse was hot and comfortable chairs were scarce. This time, though, elections officials are prepared for a week of early voting, which will begin Monday. They have extra voting machines at the Gwinnett Justice and Administration Center, plus machines at two satellite locations. The voter turnout is expected to be much lower during this year's primary than the 2004 general election, which included a hard-fought presidential election. "We'll have pockets during the day, I don't even expect an hour wait, if that, at any time," said Elections Supervisor Lynn Ledford. "We are hoping we can catch people on their way home in the afternoon." That's why Ledford chose two sites near major thoroughfares - the Singleton Road Activities Building off Jimmy Carter Boulevard and the Centerville Community Center of Ga. Highway 124. While early voting will be held at the justice center from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, the satellite locations will stay open until 7 p.m. On Friday, members of the elections staff and the elections board certified electronic machines to cast ballots and tally the totals. Officials also worked on new ExpressPoll machines that will provide an electronic download of the state's voter registration roles. Staff member Janice Williams said the technology would provide for more efficient check-in procedures and allow poll workers to tell someone where to go if they arrive at the wrong precinct. "The poll workers are going to be nervous about it, but it's a good system," she said. At the time, staffers were waiting to hear from a judge on a new voter ID law, but Williams said the county was prepared for any ruling.More like this story

More copies of this ISBNThe Snark Handbook: Sex Edition: Innuendo, Irony, and Ill-Advised Insults on Intimacy (Snark)by Lawrence Dorfman
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:According to NewYorker.com, Lawrence Dorfman assembled a heroic collection. I spent an hour in a state of catharsis, reveling in the sufficiency of the insults," in his previous homage to snarkdom (Insult Edition). Now just imagine the reviewers state after an hour reading the Sex Edition. Here are sharply witty personal observations, jokes, quotations, he-said-she-said snarks, and much more. A taste of whats to come: Id like to meet the man who invented sex and see what hes working on now."—George Carlin We have reason to believe that man first walked upright to free his hands for masturbation."—Lily Tomlin Bigamy is having one husband or wife too many. Monogamy is the same."—Oscar Wilde A couple was lying in bed one evening, when the woman felt her husband begin to touch her in ways he hadnt in quite some time. His fingers started at her neck, moved down her shoulders, past the side of her breast and so forth. Then he suddenly stopped, rolled over, and became silent. She said, Honey that was wonderful. Why did you stop?" I found the remote," he mumbled. With the same Snark Handbook style, this latest entry in the series will titillate, amuse, and entertain. Synopsis:With more than 60,000 copies in print, The Snark Handbook Series has clearly legs--now, with the Sex Edition, the silk stockings are off!
About the AuthorLawrence Dorfman has more than thirty years of experience in the bookselling world, including stints at Simon and Schuster, Penguin, and Harry N. Abrams. He's currently the vice president of sales at Globe Pequot Press. He lives in Hamden, Connecticut.

MAC Weekend Preview |
Colleges - Men's DI College |
Winless Ball State (0-2) is coming off a tough loss last weekend 61-24 to Ohio University. This weekend, they not only have to get back on the road, but have travel all the way to Ohio to face the other team in that state, the Bowling Green Falcons (2-0) who have won their first two games pretty convincingly. The other undefeated, Central Michigan (2-0), will welcome the Ohio Bobcats (1-1) onto their home pitch. The Chippewas are coming off a tough battle against in-state rivals Western Michigan and will expect nothing less than a confident Bobcat squad that's second in points (73) behind Bowling Green (89). Cincinnati Bearcats (0-1) will travel to Kalamazoo, Mich. for their first road game of the season to take on Western Michigan (0-2). The WMU Broncos have had arguably the toughest schedule with back-to-back road games against conference powers Bowling Green and Central Michigan. The Bearcats have experienced two tough matches against their alumni in week one then in-state rival Miami (OH) last weekend. In the last matchup of the weekend, Miami of Ohio (1-0) will welcome Dayton, the only MAC team that has yet to register a game. Miami, despite their youth, are coming off a convincing win against Cincinnati and are looking for another strong weekend, especially on their home pitch. The Northern Illinois Huskies (1-1) have a bye week and will look to heal up for next weekend against Ball State on the road. |

We Lost Another One: Smallest Video Camera
You see that picture? That's a needle at the bottom. I know, I thought it was a knight's jousting lance at first too and was all, "PFFT, THAT CAMERA AIN'T SO SMALL!" But no, it's a needle. Which you and I both know is like double the circumference of your protractor. What? I'm a urinal peeper!
This tiny camera was designed to shoot video inside the human body, replacing the more common fiber optic endoscope.
The camera itself is about 1 millimeter cubed, or about the same size as that eyeball computer we saw a couple of weeks ago.With 62,500 pixel resolution, the images should be pretty sharp, and what's really neat is the developer Fraunhofer says the camera will be cheap enough to be disposable.
"Cheap enough to be disposable", riiiiiiiight. I'd like to see the itemized bill first before I let a doctor throw away/leave the camera floating around in my gut.
- Rubber gloves: $4
- Disposable Camera: $600
- Forceps $30
- Removal of action figure from rectum: $1,000
- Removal of action figure playset from rectum: $3,000
Six-hundred bucks?! Aww hell naw -- I'm returning it. *chugs Fiber Cleanse, packing-tapes pasta strainer to toilet seat*
World's smallest video camera is ready to peer inside your body [dvice]
