College Funding in Utah
Stand Out Among the Crowd and Win Some Cash
Every state offers some level of financial support for its resident college-bound students, and Utah is no exception. The state of Utah, and the Utah Board of Regents, understands that the success of any state lies in the educational opportunities available to its residents. To this end, the state government of Utah offers resident students financial advice and assistance via the Utah System of Higher Education.
In addition to much needed financial aid, the Utah System of Higher Education's dedicated website provides valuable information on state colleges and universities, college savings plans, application procedures, and test preparedness. Residents of the Beehive State will find that their state government is dedicated to rewarding the hard work, and the academic achievements, of its college-bound students.
General Scholarships from the State of Utah
The state of Utah offers two scholarships for graduating high school seniors who have achieved high academic standards in their secondary education. These scholarships are strictly merit-based, and awards are determined by the applicants high school transcripts.
The following two scholarships are currently being offered by the state of Utah.
- The Utah New Century Scholarship Program is available to high performing high school students who are simultaneously enrolled in an associates degree program at a state college or university. Students must complete their associates degree with a 3.0 GPA or better by the time they graduate from high school. Scholarship recipients may use the award to help pay for Baccalaureate studies at a participating state college or university. The award is $1250 per semester, and is renewable.
- The Utah Regents Scholarship is designed to encourage high school students to prepare for college by taking a core course of studies, and by saving for college. The scholarship is a tiered award system that includes a Base Award, an Exemplary Academic Achievement Award, and the Utah Educational Savings Plan Supplemental Award. Students may be eligible to win one, or any combination, of the three awards. To be eligible, students must be enrolled full-time at a participating state college or university, and must maintain a minimum 3.0 GPA. Award amounts range from $400 to $1000.
- The Terrell H. Bell Teaching Incentive Loan Program is, in essence, an award-for-service program. A state-funded loan is available to high school seniors who have completed the requirements for an Early Graduation Program, and who have declared education as their major. Following graduation students must agree to a predetermined term of service teaching at one of Utah's public or private schools. Each semester of teaching will be considered as repayment for each semester of received financial aid. Graduating students are allowed a 2 year grace period in which to find employment. If, after 2 years they have not taken a teaching position, the award will be enforced as a standard student loan.
The Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education
In addition to the programs offered through the Utah System of Higher Education, resident students of the Beehive State can take advantage of initiatives supported by the Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education. The WICHE is a regional organization that was created in the 1950′s by the Western Regional Education Compact. The purpose of the WICHE is to facilitate the sharing of resources amongst the western states, and to make higher education more accessible to residents of participating states.
Many of the programs supported by the WICHE address critical areas of professional need, including education and healthcare. The WICHE makes it possible for students from Utah to pursue their education in a neighboring state, while retaining the tuition reductions and tax advantages typically reserved for a state's own resident students. While no scholarships or grants are offered directly by the WICHE, the program's initiatives do allow Utah's college-bound students to save money on the cost of attending college or university in a participating state. The WICHE initiatives open up tuition discounts, financial aid programs, and tax advantages that are typically reserved for residents of the host state.
Preparing for college takes serious financial planning. Through Federal grants and loans, and state supported scholarships and loan-forgiveness programs, Utah's resident students can build a financial plan that will help them realize their college goals. College-bound students in the state of Utah will want to visit the Utah System for Higher Education's dedicated website for further information designed to help them plan for their post-secondary education. There, students and their families will find valuable information on tuition costs, college savings plans, and how to prepare for a transition from high school to college.

Hi, I have about six roses to trade for daylilies, or confederate rose, or other flowering plants. Sorry, but I lost the name tags to them so I couldn't tell you what color they are except for the ones that are blooming now. I have one light pink, and one red. There maybe a lavender color in there. Just email me and we can setup time and day.
These are fully matured roses. I have them in pots already to go. Thanks. Lena |

Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez Break Up
(NEW YORK) -- Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez have broken up. A source close to the celebrity pair has confirmed to ABC News Radio that they've gone their separate ways.
Busy schedules and long periods away from one another are reportedly the primary reasons for the split, which happened about a week ago.
Bieber, who's 18, and 20-year-old Gomez confirmed they were a couple in early 2011, though they'd been rumored to be an item for several months beforehand.

Who doesn't like booty? If you answered: "me!" then you get to get the fuck outta here. For real. Bums are one of the greatest inventions of all time. You know who appreciates a great butt (apart from Sir Mix-A-Lot)? Insa. The UK-based artist has created many a painting/mural/installation that centres around the beauty of the booty. Insa also has legitimately mad skills – the colourful, swirly and loud pieces that come from Insa's brain are very aesthetically pleasing. Recently there was the Girls on Bikes project, but the amount of work the artist has produced solo and as part of collaborations is pretty damn impressive. More at insaland.com.

The Development of Young Children
Parents of children of all ages should:
Give children lots of warm, physical contact and attention. This will give them a sense of security and well-being.
Talk, sing and play while dressing, bathing, playing with and feeding young children.
Be aware of your child's moods by reading their gestures, faces and sounds.
Respond to your child when he or she is upset
when they are happy.
Read together and tell stories daily. This should become part of your child's bedtime routine.
Try to speak second languages.
Avoid television for children under two years of age. Instead, spend time playing together.
For children over two years, limit television and video time to no more than one to two hours per day. This viewing should be educational.
Why should television be limited?

In closing, before the ending five minute Q & A session, nVidia showed us a couple of their products which will be available soon including what we think is the unannounced GeForce 5950 and a reference nForce2 Pro 250 for Dual AMD Opteron processors.
nVidia mentioned at the end that they hoped that people were not too upset that the GeForce range did not receive much attention. They hoped that this would show people that they are just not a GPU maker but a more diverse company with a bunch of new and exciting initiatives for the future.

Data Visualization Glossary of Terms
Not everyone will be familiar with the terms and abbreviations used within our website, therefore brief explanations of the most commonly used website terms and abbreviations are listed below.
add-on—A separately installable component which extends Dundas Dashboard. You can download add-ons from Dundas or develop your own via our open APIs. An add-on may provide a new Dashboard control, export option, data provider, or authentication provider.
analytical dashboard—An analytical dashboard displays the data (all or a subset) of an OLAP cube. Use the OLAP controls to perform in-depth analysis on the data.
analytics layer—The middle level of technology infrastructure commonly known as the "business intelligence stack." The analytics layer is where data is turned into information by applying various formulas and analytical processes, usually related to predictive analytics, data mining and KPI formulation. This layer sits between the presentation layer above and the data layer below.
annotation—In dashboarding, annotations are comments attached to individual data visualizations intended to add context or otherwise communicate with other dashboard users. An example is when a user adds a personalized remark to a data point on the dashboard to provide background information or to raise concerns.
annotation group—Dundas Dashboard lets you organize your dashboard annotations into groups that can be used to apply access controls or filter discussions.
BI stack—See business intelligence stack.
business analyst—A role/function that's responsible for identifying business problems, analyzing them and then proposing business solutions. With Dundas Dashboard, a business analyst typically defines KPIs and may also be involved in the dashboard-design process.
business intelligence (BI)—Business intelligence encompasses many different concepts and technologies that help facilitate a better understanding of an organization's place within its commercial context. Its goal is to gather, store, analyze and share data to help make better/smarter business decisions.
business intelligence stack (BI stack)—A broad group of technologies designed to work together to produce BI solutions. The stack often includes three layers: a database on the bottom layer (e.g., SQL, Oracle, spreadsheet, OLAP, unstructured data), a middle layer offering analytics technology (including predictive analysis, data mining and KPI formulation) and a presentation layer on the top (producing dashboards, scorecards, reports, etc.)
check in/out—In Dundas Dashboard, "check in" saves changes made to a dashboard, while "check out" retrieves a dashboard for modification. Furthermore, "undo checkout" will discard any changes, saved or otherwise, that were made to the dashboard while it was checked out.
comma-separated values (CSV)—A file format that consist of fields separated by commas and rows separated by new lines. CSV files are a common format used in many applications, including Microsoft Excel.
contextual metric—In Dundas Dashboard, a contextual metric is another type of measure value that allows for meaningful comparisons with your KPI. An example of a contextual metric is a sales goal value for the current year, which is displayed as a horizontal line on a year-to-date sales chart.
CSV—See comma-separated values.
cube—In OLAP, an extension to the two-dimensional array of a spreadsheet or relational database, optimized to quickly answer multi-dimensional analytical queries.
DashBlock—DashBlocks are dashboard fragments that can be combined to form personalized dashboard views called mashups. You design DashBlocks in much the same way as you design dashboards, except that DashBlocks are usually smaller in size than a typical dashboard, and often contain just a single data visualization.
dashboard (or digital dashboard)—A business tool that displays a set of performance indicators, KPIs and any other relevant information to a user in a visual manner. There are many different types of dashboards with different goals (operational, tactical, strategic), but ultimately, their role is to provide information at a glance.
Dashboard Designer—The Dashboard Designer is a key part of the Dundas Dashboard framework where data visualization components are introduced into the dashboard-creation process. Visually, the Dashboard Designer resembles a blank canvas with data controls (charts, gauges, labels, etc.) and KPIs that can be dragged onto the canvas in a straightforward and simple manner.
dashboard template—Dashboard templates let you define a common theme or base from which to design new dashboards. Dashboard templates can contain any general controls and let you configure any of their properties.
DashFlow—DashFlow is Dundas's streamlined development process. It was created to save dashboard developers time by allowing them to build dashboards without connecting to actual data. The process includes Dundas Dashboard's unique KPI stubbing feature, which facilitates a parallel-track development process, so DBAs and BI professionals who design dashboards can concurrently work on dashboard projects or proof-of-concept dashboards.
data annotation—A visual indicator that can be automatically generated for each of your KPI's data points.
data caching—Used for fast retrieval, a data cache is generally data (that does not change frequently) stored on disk or in memory.
data connector—A data connector encapsulates all of the information necessary to connect to and query a specific instance of a physical data source. The information may include the name of a database server, the type of data provider to use and the credentials required for access.
data layer—The bottom level of technology infrastructure commonly known as the "business intelligence stack." The data layer is where corporate data is stored, usually existing in a variety of databases such as Microsoft SQL Server 2005/2008, Access, Oracle or in flat files. The analytics layer and presentation layer sit atop the data layer.
data schema (database schema)—A database structure that defines data relationships, tables, fields, functions and many other elements.
data source—A resource of formatted digital data (e.g., data files), usually in the form of a database or data stream.
data structure—A method of organizing and storing data. Dundas Dashboard recognizes tables, virtual tables, views and procedures.
data type—A set of values and their operations. Dundas Dashboard recognizes a wide variety of data types, from simple decimal and string information to more complex SQL and Oracle data.
data visualization—Data visualization is the visual representation of data, which (for dashboarding purposes) is represented by charts, gauges, maps, grids, state indicators, etc.
data warehouse—A data warehouse is used to electronically store data. They are generally designed to let an organization provide reports and analysis on various topics including but not limited to: forecasting, budgeting, and resource efficiency.
database schema—See data schema.
dataset—A collection of data, usually organized in tabular form.
date dimension—See time dimension.
dimension—A dimension is a collection of categories which can be used to group, filter, sort and label KPIs. To allow for both detailed and general data views (i.e., drilling down and drilling up), these categories are typically arranged in a hierarchy of dimension levels. For example, with Dundas Dashboard, you can define a dimension that has a single hierarchy with three levels: product category, product subcategory and product. Dundas Dashboard supports two types of dimensions: standard and time.
DundasScript—A script engine that lets developers make distinctive changes to data visualization components and handle UI component interaction (like the dashboard designer's text entry field and drop-down menu controls) at runtime.
full join—A type of data relationship used to combine two or more data structures. A full join creates a new table by combining every row from both the "left" and "right" tables. Rows on either side that have no match are included in the new table with missing (null) values.
GUI—See user interface.
inner join—A type of data relationship used to combine two or more data structures. An inner join creates a new table by combining the column values of two tables when there is at least one match in both tables.
key performance indicator (KPI)—A significant metric or piece of data that measures business performance. KPIs differ depending of the nature of the organization and its strategy and goals; they can greatly influence the success and/or failure of an organization, department or project.
KPI—See key performance indicator.
KPI stubbing—Key performance indicator stubbing is a critical element of Dundas Dashboard's DashFlow collaborative process. KPI stubbing allows business professionals to build KPIs without the requirement of connecting to actual data (random data is generated for them until real data is hooked up). This helps them to focus on "the bigger picture" of KPI creation while others worry about data-connection details.
left join—A type of data relationship used to combine two or more data structures. A left join creates a new table by combining every row from the "left" table. If a row in the "left" table has no match, it is still included in the new table with missing (null) values for all the right columns.
mashup—In dashboarding, mashups relate to the "mashing together" of individual dashboard parts/elements (e.g., data visualizations). The advantages of mashups include the ability for dashboard viewers to create their own dashboards without having to rely on their IT dept. Some technical writers don't like this word.
measure—A measure is an element of a KPI that represents the numerical value that needs to be monitored, analyzed and managed. Examples are: sales revenue, operational expenses and units sold.
named set—A named set is a MDX expression in SQL Server Analysis Services that returns a set of dimension members.
OLAP—Online analytical processing (OLAP) is an element of business intelligence that deals with relational reporting and data mining. OLAP databases use multidimensional data models typically displayed in a matrix format (the dimensions form the matrix's rows and columns and the measures form the values). OLAP lets you quickly perform ad-hoc queries even on large data sets.
open API—An application programming interface (API) is an interface for extending and customizing a software application. Open means "public" or "accessible." Dundas Dashboard's APIs include: Data Provider API, Dashboard Control Plugin API, Navigation API, Export API and Authentication Provider API.
performance dashboard—A performance dashboard displays a set of performance indicators, KPIs and any other relevant information to a user in a visual manner. There are many different types of dashboards with different goals (operational, tactical, strategic), but ultimately, their role is to provide information at a glance. plug-in — See add-on.
presentation layer—The top level of technology infrastructure commonly known as the "business intelligence stack." The presentation layer delivers visual information, mainly in the form of dashboards but also in the form of scorecards and reports. This layer sits atop the analytics layer, which sits atop the data layer.
project—In Dundas Dashboard, a collection of dashboards and their supporting data connectors, KPIs, dimensions, etc. Projects can be used to organize dashboards or control access.
RIA—See rich Internet applications.
rich internet application (RIA)—A web application that typically looks and functions like a desktop application, usually delivered via web-browser plug-ins or virtual machines.
right join—A type of data relationship used to combine two or more data structures. A right join creates a new table by combining every row from the "right" table. If a row in the "right" table has no match, it is still included in the new table with missing (null) values for all the left columns.
Silverlight—Microsoft's cross-browser and cross-platform browser plug-in that helps companies design, develop and deliver applications on the web.

On November 11 (11-11-11), you'll all be able to get your hands on The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim. But that's more than a week away! What are you possibly going to do between now and then? Simple: watch this video of us tearing apart the box that the game came in to get our hands on the sweet, sweet magic inside.
It comes with everything a growing dragon hunter needs, like an art book, a video game, and, of course, a big plastic statue of a dragon. Seriously, even though it's a little flimsy, that dragon is absolutely awesome. If you're still on the fence as to which version you're going to be picking up check out the video, and decide for yourself if the extras are enough to justify the high cost. The Collector's Edition runs at over double the price of the standard edition, so you'd better really want a plastic dragon for your desk.

We will be visiting Stockholm August 6, and would like to know what will be shown in ballet at that time.
Just back from le Palais Garnier, the premier of Juliette et Romeo. What a disaster! A choreographic insult. Shame, shame, shame. An insult to the people of France, le Palais Garnier, and Tchaikowsky. The dancers were obedient to a demented choreographer...who appeared at the curtain call looking like a homeless street person...no respect for the audience who came from worlds away, properly dressed as the venue and common sense dictate, having paid top prices to be present. Sweden should offer apology from the Crown on down for such a dismal, dismal, horrible interpretation and presentation. From Amsterdam, New York, Rome, Sydney.. We all are very, very disappointed.

Our home has been listed for 25 days, we have had 14 showings, 2 second showings and 1 third showings, but no offers. We have had excellent feedback, only negatives have been from people wanting a bigger yard. We did have to replace our back sod and it has not looked that great, but is looking much better now, other than that, our home is in top condition. Any feedback or suggestions would be appreciated. |

Follow-Up Postings:
What did the people who came back for the 2nd and 3rd showings end up buying? Also, your backyard appears small (esp in comparison to the front yard). Is this common in your neighborhood and/or among your price-range competition? |

The only thing I can say is you have too many photos on your site. 31 is a lot. Do you really need all those shots of the living/kitchen area? The backyard is rather small. If your are in a family neighborhood, that is not a lot of space for kids to play. Your house shows very well I'm sure. No clutter, nicely staged. I would check the SOLD comps in your area. What are houses going for. You may need a price adjustment. NancyLouise |
What a lovely home! You may have entered the market a bit late; Spring is optimum. Some minor details, but not sure if any help-- I would snug the rust-colored sofa firmly against a wall, not projecting as it does, as this might be conveying a lack of space. In the bathrooms, try to make the actual toilets look larger and more comfortable, maybe with fluffy white seat covers and white ruglets. Sounds chintzy, but will make those spots look larger if you use white. The vertical-looking tissue cover is not helping, either. If you place that on the adjoining shelf it will make the space look wider. In your garden, consider placing a smallish statuette near the end of line of sight. This will help to make the whole space look larger, as also will a large white pot on the outside sitting area, with identical smaller ones near the property margins. New Guinea impatiens would look nice in them, preferably in bright colors that are easily seen and coordinate with your interior color schemes. Anything else that could brighten up the outside sitting area would also help, such as a white table and chairs...and a little white bench somewhere in the back garden might help as well. I'm assuming the outside sitting area does have a ceiling fan already. The issue may be financing and timeframes...however, if most of those looking have children, you may wish to show some indications of where toys could be stashed, etc as well, even if you have to borrow some. Anyone with children will be wanting to close soon. |
Thank you for the feedback. The two buyers that had second and third showings were both deciding between our home and another and they ended up going with the other home. They both went back and forth between the two to make up their minds. We do have a small front and back yard, but we are in a neighborhood with primarily empty nesters or retired people. One part of the neighborhood is all garden homes. The negative feedback on the small yard has come from families with children. I thought about suggesting to my realtor that we put in the listing that it is a small easy to maintain yard, so we eliminate the showings that would not be interested in a small yard. |

Always a bridesmaid is always about price. |
I was thinking similarly to LWO. So they both went back and forth, and chose the other. (in other words, they were serious buyers). What were the others? Price? Location? Size? Yard? # of bedrooms? similar to yours? You had to be second choice for more than a little price because if they liked yours better they would have offered just to see if you'd bite. |

Great house. Could you set up the patio with a lovely set of cushy patio furniture to show it off as a cozy back yard and patio ideal for entertaining and family chats? |
We reduced our price to $299,900 last Thursday, but have only had two showings since then. Both were in the home for well over an hour. One buyer is saying they will be back with their pool man to see if he could install a small pool and we have been unable to reach the other. I have added some additional plants and I had my patio cushions recovered. I will add a picture when I get home to show the difference. I should probably add a pot of color as suggested. I am also wondering if the price should have been lowered to 300 instead of the 299,900 so it is catching the searches for 250-300 and 300-350. Any thoughts on this? Thanks again for all of the great feedback. |
kirkhall, That is what we thought regarding the price , if it were price we they would have made an offer. We did not get any negative feedback from either, just that they had a tough time deciding between the two homes. One did say the other had a bigger kitchen. I have thought about having a landscaper come work in the flower beds, but I don't know if I should spend the money. I have also thought about adding a small tree to block the view from the two story home that is behind us, but we have not had anyone make a comment on that. We are not sure if we are just being impatient and the right buyer has not come along. Our price is less than any of the realtors gave us as market price before we listed the home. We have had a couple of homes in the neighborhood sell for less per SF, but many are much more and the homes that have been less are much older and outdated. |
Gorgeous house! I wouldn't hire a landscaper. How about buying some containers with flowers and putting some at the entrance and some on your back patio? You just haven't found the right buyer yet. Good luck! |
What a lovely- and large- home! It really shows well. And I think it is beautifully landscaped. The home size is great for a family. The smaller yard might not work for a family with younger children who need room to play but it certainly could work for a family with teenagers. The kitchen is really great. Perfect for entertaining a crowd. I agree with the others- your perfect buyer will come along. |
Price per square foot was not one of my comparison points... Size, bedroom number, yard size, age, etc. But, not price per square foot. That is an approximation, but isn't actually useful. If the others that sold were similarly priced and sized, but offered 4 bedrooms, your house would have lost out to someone with 2 kids who wanted/needed an office (for example). Don't just look at price, or price per square foot. But, at amenities. I don't think being at 300k even would really help. What was your price before? If not over 350k then people would have seen it last week. |
At $299k, your home is at the top of the budget for buyers searching in the $250-$300k range. If listed at $300k, your home is the bottom of the budget for buyers searching in the $300-$350k range. Which do you think makes more sense? |
It is now listed at $299,900, I read in a real estate forum that it is better to have it at 300 because you would show up in the search for both. I honestly don't know if that is good or bad, it is just what I read. I know we were having a lot more showings at $305,500 than we are now that it has been reduced, but it may have been because it was a new listing. Which do you think make more sense? |
In response to your most recent question--why showings have slowed down, two things are at play--it's no longer a new listing and August is typically a pretty dead month for showings. People with children want to move before school starts, and it's a popular vacation month. |
Besides rrah's response, I also think showings have slowed down because you priced at $299k instead of $300k. I'd move it up so you can capture the buyers whose home price search starts at $300k. |
- Posted by weedyacres (My Page) on Wed, Aug 6, 14 at 14:43
I'd list it at 300K for the reasons you mentioned. Doesn't hurt to be 2 price ranges. And based on the number of people that seriously considered it, I think it's just a matter of time. I wouldn't lower the price further at this point unless you're very anxious to sell. |
My realtor thinks it would look bad in the MLS if we raise the price. She will do whatever we want, but thinks raising 100.00 will look funny. If there are any real estate agents, I would appreciate feedback on this. We listed 26 days ago at 305,500 and reduced to 299,900 last Thursday. |
Nice looking home. 25 days may seem like a long time to you but is it really that long for sales in your area? It'll sell. |
- Posted by ncrealestateguy (email@example.com) on Wed, Aug 6, 14 at 16:41
Is there anyone here, when they were very serious in their home search, NOT look a few thousand dollars below and above where your primary price range was? OP...be a little more patient. Sounds like you are on track. |
Lots don't, ncrealestateguy. If, in their mind $300k is their starting point, they're not going to search for homes in the $290's. Likewise, if $300k is their limit, many won't expand their search perimeters up to $310k. did123 -- when selling our last home, our realtor activated the listing after an only a preliminary talk with us about the price. A few days later, we asked her to pull the most current comps and determined that our home was priced too low. So, we asked her to increase the price on the MLS (by about $15k). Afterwards, she only had one realtor ask about the price change out of curiousity. It didn't cause any negative repercussions. |
Thanks so much for all of the feedback, I really appreciate it. There is another showing tomorrow! I have added some beautiful pots of flowers on the retaining wall and that really makes the backyard look much nicer and brighter. I am going be patient and hopefully, the right buyer will come around soon. Thanks again. |
Good luck with your showing today! BTW, when I search for listings, I typically don't enter a minimum, just a maximum price (and I enter about $100k more than what I'm willing to pay). |
- Posted by ncrealestateguy (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Thu, Aug 7, 14 at 11:18
pam14... I think every buyer I have run into does the same thing. Her listing is being seen. And it is about to pop. |
I hope you guys are right! I know I am being impatient, we have just always sold our homes in a day or two and the market is good in our area. I am assuming it is the type of home we have and the fact that it would be more suitable for empty nesters or retirees. I am sure that narrows our market significantly. I know I am getting worn out! I work hard before every showing to make sure everything is perfect, including baking something the morning of the showing, so the house smells good. My husband said we better sell the home soon or he is going to need new clothes. |

IMO, agents are used to prices bouncing up and down on listings, so it probably does not bother them to see small movements. But as a buyer who watched listings for several years before purchasing, it would signal a possibly indecisive seller. And that would probably affect my offer and negotiation strategy. Not necessarily in a terrible way, but it would cause me to negotiate in smaller increments--to allow the indecisive seller time to "get used to the idea of my offer", instead of assuming they were firm about their price/counter. Replies might also get sent closer to the deadline, to allow for maximum thinking time. A few changes, such as yours, are not that big a deal--it is the ones that change three or more times in a two week period, or bounce them up and down for months to keep the house in the changed category, that really scream of game-playing. My searches were about $35k under our minimum, and $75k over our target price. Anything lower brought up trashed foreclosures. The higher range allowed for a heads-up on homes that may have price drops that would put them into our range. Your price is probably close enough to bring in your target buyers. Your house should be on top, now that those two other ones have sold. ;-) Good luck with your sale! |

Remember too Buyers... when you do an online search, you are searching ASKING prices. A home that is asking $315000 may well be in someone's price range if their top dollar is $299,000 or so. |
- Posted by weedyacres (My Page) on Thu, Aug 7, 14 at 14:22
To NC's point, I never search with a bottom price range. If I do filter, I do it by bedrooms or bathrooms or square footage or acreage or garages and basements. I don't want to filter out something that might be a great deal. Like the foreclosure we bought last year for $14K. Or I browse around and figure I can get a decent house between X and Y, and then end up being disappointed, so I keep bumping up my price range until I find a house that works. So I'd never miss a house priced at $299K. But anyone who's just on a realtor's auto-email list at 300-350, and doesn't poke around on their own, might miss it. |
Just to keep you all updated, the realtor that showed our home today said that her clients are moving here for retirement and this was their first trip to look at homes. She said they fell in love with our home and are going to discuss if they are ready to pull the trigger or wait and look at additional homes. She finished with they were super impressed with the home. |
A smaller yard for a retired couple makes good sense. Good luck! |
Whoops! Sorry for the duplicate post. |

Customer Ratings:
I gave it two weeks of twice daily use before reviewing, and sadly they were disappointing. My skin broke out over the course of my first day of use and continued on from there. Essentially my entire forehead is broken out at this point. That said, I still think this is a great product, just not for my skin. It works well as a primer and mixes nicely with the C15, and sets to a soft finish. I probably should have tried the Ultra Light serum instead.
I use once daily in the evening all over my face, around my eyes, and on my neck and chest. The dry texture feels nice and light on my oily, acne-prone skin. I have been using Paula's antioxidant serums every day for the past 10-15 years along with her 2% BHA and SPF 15-30 products. I am 31 years old and everyone I know always asks me when I am going to start aging!
I can't say I've noticed a difference in my skin since I started using this but it does wear fine under makeup. I feel like I should be using an antioxidant so maybe in the long run I'll notice a difference, but I use several PC products so it would be hard to nail down to one thing. My husband has been telling me lately that he notices my skin looking better and that's unsolicited from me - so that's good! I'll keep using it as part of my daily routine. It also lasts several months.
I have an oily, acne prone and easily clogged skin. I use PC's products started Sept 2013. Initially i used PC's Resist Ultra-light Super Antioxidant Concentrate Serum but regular usage of it made my skin easily clogged. So, I decided to use SB serum and it works perfect for my skin. I have been using this serum at night everyday for the past 3 months. i love it! It somehow makes my skin less oily and yet hydrated. It doesn't clog my pores. Love...love...love :)
This product is revolutionary. I wish I had not listened to the complaints about the texture. Should have started using this ages ago! It feels like silk and my skin is radiant. Fabulous primer as well. On my 2nd tube, and I have not had one single problem with the consistency. A couple of shakes (as directed) and it comes out of the tube perfect every time. I am happy to shake the tube because I appreciate not having that yucky alcohol in this formulation. Thank you Paula!
This is a great serum for the price (all serums are over-priced for what they are); it's a fantastic formulation. I have combination skin, but next time I will try the Skin Recovery version for extra TLC in my dry areas. I LOVE that this contains retinol; that's the main reason I bought it. The only thing I wish is that it had better spreadability; it disappears so quickly on the skin that it's hard to tell where you've applied it! It's too pricey to use more than a pea-sized amount per day.
I have used super ultra-light, skin recovery and resist antioxidant serums before, and have not thought to give this a try simply because of negative reviews. However, I should HAVE tried this earlier. I love skin balance serum far more than all the other. Skin recovery is too moisturizing for me. Super ultra-light does not cause breakout, but it gave me a stinging sensation (Niacinamide?), and too dry for me. The skin balance is just perfect. It is weightless, but does not bring my skin tight.

Great serum! Love how it feels and made my skin look. I have super sensitive skin and normally can not use any type of retinal or vitamin c products...they burn my face. This serum, along with the 15% vitamin c serum are super gentle, yet super effective! I've experienced NO BURNING OR STINGING at all.
I don't know why people complain about the texture; it clearly says you have to shake the tube. That's what I do and I love it. Mix it with 3 drops Vitamin C serum and put it on every morning after 1% BHA gel, followed by Resist ultralight SPF 30 moisturizer. Brilliant regimen for my 46-year-old, sensitive, combination, breakout prone skin.
I have been using this serum along with resist hydrate !! I am in love with both of them. it makes my skin extra smooth and fades the scar from my previous breakouts. it reduces the appearance of the size of my pores and I like the dewy finish after my makeup I usually use this serum as a primer too.. this is a must for me, what I don't like about this product it has a silicone texture to it while applying .. thank you Paula
I have been using this serum for 2 months and i saw a difference in my skin from my first use. Firstly, i have combination acne prone skin, and can get very oily in my t-zone. this is the only product I've ever used that keeps the oil at bay. although it can feel slightly tight on my face, there is a glow about it. I would have given this product 5 stars if it wasn't for the consistency. Sometimes the serum comes out runny - it says you have to shake it before use.
I am deeply loving this item so far. The very first night I applied it, I kept saying to my fiance how it felt like I was putting cashmere on my skin... this stuff is that smooth & soft. It feels like the silkiest powder once it is on and massaged into the skin, beautiful consistency. Having to shake a tube so that the active ingredients can be mixed into their vehicle delivery solution is REALLY not that big of a deal nor worth commenting about... give the tube a couple shakes and apply it.
in terms of texture, the product is very nice because of its silky mousse-like consistency...it's like putting air....but....why do i have to keep shaking the tube everytime i use it? if i don't shake it, liquid comes out making it more oily. Over all, it's not very convenient to use especially when you have to rush out the door in the morning. the ultra light serum works better, though that one does not have as much slip as this one does.
I have sensitive (dermatitis prone) combo (oily T zone) skin- This was the first product I'd ever tried from PC I was excited to try it & have used Retin-A from Dermatologist for years so figured it would be no problem for me. WRONG!! I used this every night for 3 weeks and broke out in a million tiny bumps (not pimples) and a couple of pimples as well. Took a full month to clear & tried again,same problem. Cust. Svc. gave a credit & I tried the RESIST Ultra-Light Antiox. serum - it ROCKS!
I first tried 2 other serums that were thought to be a better fit, but after I found they remained too sticky on my skin, my consultant recommended this serum. I used it as my finishing step each night for 4 or 5 days without giving it any thought. When I used my magnifying mirror the following day, what I noticed was a reduction in pore size and an evenness that was new. I honestly thought I was mistaken and put brighter bulbs in my fixture, but it was not an optical illusion, it's my skin!
I really love the skin balancing toner so I thought I would love the serum too but after a month of use I haven't really noticed any benefits from using it. My skin doesn't feel any different from when I wasn't using a serum. Also the texture is a bit filmy and I don't like the way it sets on my skin. Maybe it's the changing weather and I should switch to a more moisturizing serum. I'll probably try a different Paula's Choice serum when this runs out.
I have acne problems sine I was a teenager, my skin would dry out very quick from many of acne treatment products. However, these Skin Balancing Super Antioxidant Concentrate Serum with Retinol is giving my face a beautiful texture for my face and I can use it under my eyes. When I wake up every morning, My lines under my eyes are gone!! I find my face looks really flawless !!. Thank you for this amazing product!!
I'm using the entire Skin Balancing Line which includes this Antioxidant serum w/ Retinol. This product is awesome it slides on your skin like silk. I was using a prescribed Retin-A cream and it has ingredients that was actually breaking me out. I can't believe that I'm 46 yrs old and finally have clear skin. I mean completely clear. I can't even feel any bumps under my skin when I'm washing. These products, for me, are like a miracle. My self esteem is thru the roof!!!! MHG for sure.
I generally really like most Paula's Choice products, but this is one I won't be purchasing again. As other posters commented, it keeps separating. While this may be done for the right reasons (to avoid alcohol) the result is a lot of thin yellow liquid which spurts out of the tube first (and generally onto the floor), followed by a glob of orange/yellow thicker gel. I feel like I've lost about a third of the product to spillage and the rest that comes out just generally isn't pleasant to put on
Thanks for your review! It's vital with this serum that you shake the tube thoroughly before use. Having said that, you may want to try one of our other antioxidant serums. Please contact us to discuss which one would be best for you.
I cant believe Ive managed to survive this long w/out using PC products. After just 2 months my skin is completely transformed! Had troubled skin all my life, even with clean diet/exercise. This serum leaves my skin feeling soooo silky soft & matte. Incredible under makeup. I use it 2x day (esp around eyes).... my skin looks amazing all day! THANK U PC!!
I'm 23 and have been using retinol products for about 2 years to help with my acne. Usually when I apply retinol on my skin directly after washing or exfoliating my skin becomes reddened and inflammed for a couple minutes. NOT with this! It goes on nice and smooth, really does mattify and is totally weightless. My skin does not get the least bit irritated and is a lot calmer. I wouldn't say that it keeps breakouts away, but it hasn't caused any and has improved the overall appearance of my skin.
Hello PC Fans - Especially those with oily skin: This serum is part of my daily routine for my oily skin and I couldn't live without it. Make sure you SHAKE WELL before dispensing the product. I use this serum in the morning before my PC sunscreen and MAC foundation, and this is the BEST makeup primer I've ever used (I've tried them all - believe me!). I love how the product feels on my skin, and helps keep my complexion less oily and looking more balanced. Best wishes with your PC products!
I love Paulas Choice overall. Almost everything I use on my face is PC and I consider myself a user for life. However, this one just didnt agree with my skin. For the first time ever I have developed those little white hard bumps by my right eye and this is the only thing i had changed in my routine. I recently ordered the BHA 9 since reading other reviewers impressive results with it in hopes it can get rid of these bumps.
The texture is really nice. goes on the skin smoothly, matte finish. however, that's all there is. I almost finished the bottle and haven't seen any changes in my skin.
What makes this product unique?Skin Balancing Super Antioxidant Concentrate Serum with Retinol is a brilliant serum for all degrees of oily skin. Substantial, well-researched antioxidants, cell-communicating ingredients and potent anti-irritants are delivered in a silky base that feels weightless on skin. Once applied, this product forms a breathable barrier which not only protects the skin but works to nourish and repair it. It also significantly reduces irritation and inflammation from environmental exposure, allowing skin to repair itself naturally. Those with oily skin will love the special absorbent ingredients that leave a smooth matte finish, plus ingredients that normalize how skin behaves. No need for a separate foundation primer, as this provides all the benefits of a primer plus anti-aging and mattifying ingredients!
This product is 100% fragrance- and colorant-free.
Who is this product for?Skin Balancing Super Antioxidant Concentrate Serum is formulated for normal to oily/combination skin. It is excellent as a foundation primer for oily skin. The formula is suitable for breakout-prone skin and complements a Paula's Choice Clear anti-acne routine.

Detailed instructions on how/when to apply your Paula's Choice products can be found in our How to Put Together Your Own Skincare Routine article.
Which Paula's Choice serum should I use?
All skin types can use any of our serum and each provides multiple anti-aging benefits, but there are some formulary distinctions that make certain Paula's Choice serums preferred for specific skin types. Here's how they break down:
How does the Skin Balancing Super Antioxidant Concentrate Serum differ from the other retinol products Paula's Choice offers?
The percentage of retinol needed for efficacy is generally between 0.01% and 1%, which is quite a range, but further proof of just how powerful retinol is! For more on percentages of retinol in Paula's Choice products, see our article Which Strength of Retinol Do I Need?
All of these products may be used with Skin Balancing Super Antioxidant Concentrate Serum or on their own, as each treats skin to a beneficial range of anti-aging ingredients.
Is the texture of Skin Balancing Super Antioxidant Concentrate similar to Paula's Choice Skin Balancing Invisible Finish Moisture Gel?
Does Skin Balancing Super Antioxidant Concentrate Serum decrease the appearance of pores?
I use a prescription product with tretinoin (i.e. Retina-A, Renova, Tazorac). Since Skin Recovery Super Antioxidant Concentrate Serum and Skin Balancing Super Antioxidant Concentrate Serum contain retinol, is it OK to combine them?
At what point after my laser and/or peel procedure can I begin using my serum again?
Is Skin Balancing Super Antioxidant Concentrate Serum suitable for those with rosacea?

This seminar will focus on four important issues. One is how states balance between the pursuit of wealth and security. Second is the issue of cooperation among states on nonproliferation-related trade controls in light of a globalized economy. The third is the effectiveness of strategic trade controls as instruments in supporting nonproliferation objectives given the changing nature of technology and the global trade environment. The theoretical debate on these issues continues to revolve around the question of how states initiate, implement, and sustain international cooperation against the competing pressures of trade, domestic politics, and national security. Finally, the course will engage trade control practitioners from government agencies and industry as guest speakers and facilitators in order to fully understand how the issues surrounding strategic trade control impact the trade and security communities in today's changing world.

This topic shows you how to use paging to manage the amount of data returned to your iOS app from Azure Mobile Services. In this tutorial, you will use the Skip and Take query properties on the client to request specific "pages" of data.
To prevent data overflow in mobile device clients, Mobile Services implements an automatic page limit, which defaults to a maximum of 50 items in a response. By specifying the page size, you can explicitly request up to 1,000 items in the response.
This tutorial builds on the steps and the sample app from the previous tutorial Get started with data. Before you begin this tutorial, you must complete at least the first tutorial in the working with data series, Get started with data.
In Xamarin Studio, open the project that you modified when you completed the tutorial Get started with data.
Press the Run button to build the project and start the app, then enter text into the textbox and click the plus (+) icon.
Repeat the previous step at least three times, so that you have more than three items stored in the TodoItem table.
Open the TodoService.cs file, locate the RefreshDataAsync method, and replace the LINQ query on the todoTable with the following query:
Items = await todoTable .Where (todoItem => todoItem.Complete == false) .Take(3) .ToListAsync();
This query returns the top three items that are not marked as completed.
Rebuild and start the app.
Notice that only the first three results from the TodoItem table are displayed.
Update the LINQ query in the RefreshDataAsync method once more to the following:
Items = await todoTable .Where (todoItem => todoItem.Complete == false) .Skip(3) .Take(3) .ToListAsync();
This time, set the Skip value to 3.
This query skips the first three results and returns the next three after that. This is effectively the second "page" of data, where the page size is three items.
This tutorial uses a simplified scenario by setting hard-coded paging values for the Skip and Take properties. In a real-world app, you can use queries similar to the above with a pager control or comparable UI to let users navigate to previous and next pages. You can also call the IncludeTotalCount method to get the total count of all items available on the server, along with the paged data.
This concludes the set of tutorials that demonstrate the basics of working with data in Mobile Services. Consider finding out more about the following Mobile Services topic:

Dixie Rising Presents

State Of Texas
Senate SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 526: WHEREAS, April is the month in which the Confederate States of America began and ended a four-year struggle for states' rights, individual freedom, and local government control; and WHEREAS, The State of Texas declared herself to be a free and independent state and subsequently joined the Confederate States of America of which it was a member state from 1861 until 1865; and WHEREAS, The battlefields, monuments, museums, and other historical sites to be found in Texas allow our citizens and visitors to remember, study, and appreciate the men and women of that unique time in the history of Texas and the nation; and WHEREAS, The flag of the State of Texas was carried by Texas Confederate soldiers in every major battle of the War Between the States and the state contributed over 115,000 soldiers and sailors to the service of the Confederate States of America; and WHEREAS, During the period of reconciliation, Texas Confederate veterans became instrumental in the continued development of our state and local governments and our institutions of higher learning; and WHEREAS, We honor our past and draw from it the courage, strength, and wisdom to go forward into the future together as Texans and Americans; and WHEREAS, The State of Texas has long recognized her Confederate history and the leaders who made sacrifices on behalf of the Confederate cause; and WHEREAS, The Texans who served in the War Between the States are memorialized in almost every county in the state, and many cities and counties in the State of Texas bear the name of Confederate veterans; and WHEREAS, It is important for all Texans to reflect upon our state's past and to respect the devotion of her Confederate leaders, soldiers, and citizens to the cause of Southern liberty; and WHEREAS, In years since the war, the morally abhorrent practice of slavery has in the minds of many Texans become the prime motivation of Southern soldiers, despite the fact that 98 percent of Texas Confederate soldiers never owned a slave and never fought to defend slavery; and WHEREAS, Politically correct revisionists would have Texas children believe that their Confederate ancestors fought for slavery when in fact most Texans joined the Confederate armed forces to defend their homes, their families, and their proud heritage as Texans; and WHEREAS, Confederate Memorial Day in April is a time for all Texans to honor those men and women who died for Texas, and also all the Texans who came afterward and benefitted from their legacy of honor and devotion to our state; Now, therefore, be it RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 76th Legislature, hereby recognize April as Confederate History and Heritage Month in the State of Texas and encourage all Texas schools and citizens to join in efforts to become more knowledgeable of the role of the Confederate States of America in the history of our country. I hereby certify that the above Resolution was adopted by the Senate on March 30, 1999. Jackson, President of the Senate. |

Well what can I say other then- YUM!
A rich creamy sweet scented lotion. That smooths on the skin really well. I find this really moisturising even more so then some Body butters. But this is probably direct effects not long term. I'd recommend it but not sure for those with sensitive skin as it might be to perfumed for you.

As our odds predicted, "Skyfall" won the top Golden Reel Award bestowed by the Motion Picture Sound Editors on Sunday. Among those it edged out for Sound Effects Editing: Foley were three of its Oscar rivals for Sound Editing -- "Argo," "Django Unchained"and "Life of Pi."
However, "Skyfall" is not expected to repeat at the Academy Awards. Despite being snubbed by the MPSE, "Zero Dark Thirty" is far ahead in the Oscar race, with the backing of 12 of our 21 experts, three editors and almost two-thirds of our users. That support translates to leading odds of 9/4.
"Skyfall" is fourth for the Oscar, with one expert, one editor and about 10% of users predicting it to prevail. Making a stronger run are "Life of Pi" (3 experts, 3 editors, 15% of users) and "Argo" (5 editors, 1 expert, 5% of users). "Django Unchained" has only the backing of 1% of users.
"Life of Pi" picked up two MPSE awards -- Dialogue (over frontrunner "Argo") and Music in a Feature Film -- while "Les Miserables" won the Music in a Musical Film award.
As expected, "Wreck-It Ralph" prevailed in the animated category. However, "Last Call at the Oasis" surprised in the Documentary race over "Marley" and "Rust and Bone" prevailed in Foreign-Language Film over "Amour."
Winners were announced during a ceremony at the Westin Bonaventure Hotel in Los Angeles. Ang Lee received the filmmaker award and Foley artist John Roesch was feted for career achievement.
Last year, "War Horse" won this precursor prize" but lost the Oscar to "Hugo." The other Oscar nominees were "Drive," "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" and "Transformers: Dark of the Moon."
"Super 8," which led with three MPSE bids, won dialogue & ADR. It was snubbed by the Oscars in both sound categories.
In 2010, "Inception" won two of its three bids -- sound effects & foley and music -- while "The Social Network" won dialogue & ADR. "True Grit," which won over the Cinema Audio Society for its sound mixing, was shut out. At the Oscars, "Inception" prevailed over "Toy Story 3," "TRON: Legacy," "True Grit" and "Unstoppable."
In 2009, "Avatar" won the same two MPSE races as "Inception" but lost the Oscar race to "The Hurt Locker." Among the other also-rans was "Inglorious Basterds" which had won the dialogue & ADR award at the MPSE.
Film: Tom O'Neil (Gold Derby) only one to go 5/5
TV: Joyce Eng (TV Guide), Tariq Khan (Fox News), Paul Sheehan (Gold Derby) tops
