Kevin spent 13 years teaching art K-12 in public school and for 17 years spent summers leading creative adventure camps for kids of all ages. For the past four years he has hosted a creative learning site called ArtSnacks (http://artsnacks.org) where he shares 150+ ten minute drawing videos that support standards curriculum. This social "learning" network is his Petri-dish for learning to mentor teachers and students in virtual environments. He was selected to be in the Apple Distinguished Educator class of 2011 and spends time helping schools that use Apple's powerful tools get the most out of them for students and teachers.
He is currently serving his ninth year as a Technology Integration Specialist at ESSDACK, an educational service center based in Hutchinson, Kansas. At ESSDACK he researches and designs programs, training and staff development with a strong passion for helping teachers and learners become successful with educational uses of technology. He shares his thinking and learning on his blog Tradigital Learning and in his podcast Driving Questions in Education. He is a school board member in the town of Inman Kansas and is currently serving in his second term. He feels that one of his most important roles is to help vision what the future holds for learners and to help move schools in right, new directions. During his classroom tenure, he developed project-based approaches to learning that infused technology and problem solving skills. He created a film program for kids and developed it into a fully functioning curriculum at the high school level. He co-developed a PBL approach called the Life Practice Model with colleague Ginger Lewman and they provide training and certification in this powerful, student driven approach to learning.
Kevin has developed online safety, anti-bullying and cyber-bullying curriculum which he shares with parents, teachers and students around the country. He certifies instructors in this curriculum and supports trainers as they go out and do this important work.
Kevin likes to bring his personal life experience and a sense of humor and creativity to the mission of helping prepare 21st century learners!
Trends, Tools and Tactics for 21st Century Learning
This keynote is a fun look at the exciting things that happen when educators step outside their boxes and try new tools. It reinforces the importance of relationships while encouraging teachers to become learners again through positive examples of student success.
Catlin Tucker, teacher, CUE Lead Learner, and author
Thursday, March 14, 4:30 - 5:30 pm
Catlin Tucker has taught English language arts since 2001. She authored Blended Learning for Grades 4-12: Leveraging the Power of Technology to Create Student-Centered Classrooms. She is a Google Certified Teacher and CUE Lead Learner passionate about integrating technology into traditional classrooms to drive communication, collaboration and creation.
Common Core: Transforming Teaching & Learning
Many teachers across the nation are groaning at the mention of transitioning to a new set of standards. Most don't realize the new standards emphasize communication, higher-order thinking, technology integration and literacy, real world application and creative problem solving.
Join author and teacher Catlin Tucker as she shares her enthusiasm for the Common Core.
The shift from breadth to depth is refreshing. Teachers have an opportunity to make learning more relevant and engaging. Technology can empower teachers, allowing them to experiment with PBL, flipped and blended models. When used to complement and enhance traditional instruction, technology makes it possible to cultivate a variety of skills with a single assignment.
Catlin will share photos and student work to demonstrate practical ideas for addressing the Common Core using technology. See how technology can open the door to creatively addressing the standards without adding to your workload. Walk away feeling energized about this shift and eager to explore how you can use technology to transition to the Common Core.

All helmets sold at retail in the United States and Europe must undergo significant safety testing. Rejecting a helmet because it has "too many vents" is absurd because the helmet has been subjected and passed standardized testing.
Lightweight, ventilated bicycle helmets are designed to essentially explode in a crash, thereby absorbing all of the impact energy that would have otherwise gone to your skull.
While hard shell skateboard-style helmets with few vents (which the author erroneously refers to as "weak points") can be used while cycling, they will not function in the energy-absorbing manner of a traditional bike helmet.

Yippie! A new eatery, on the south side, S. Park & Lakeside S.E. corner (across the street, from the old Bancroft Dairy ) I didn't know they'd opened, or I'd have skipped the wings I had for dinner. Had a cone just to be friendly and check out their menu. The sign says they do serve Vienna Dogs (Coney and Chicago style), slushies, and all kinds of things to put a smile on my face. It is a local and female owned place. This is exciting news for the south side!
Well, I'm excited because it's just down the street from me and I'm having a wonderful time, summer urban exploring!

NH sees most home sales since 2005
Friday, January 31, 2014
CONCORD — If 2012 was the year of cautious optimism, 2013 proved to be the year of that optimism coming to fruition in terms of a national housing recovery, and New Hampshire was no exception to the trend.
DeStefano noted that the relatively affordable prices have helped bolster a market that less than a decade ago had priced many would-be home owners out.
Condominium sales in New Hampshire, meanwhile, trended similarly, with closed sales ahead 14 percent in December and 17 percent for the year. Median sales price was up to $160,000 in December (a 9 percent increase) and $160,950 for the year (a 7 percent increase). Sales volume was up a whopping 30 percent in December, 26 percent for the year. |

If I upgrade to 2G of RAM, it looks like I can upgrade to Lion, but not Mountain Lion. I was going to upgrade the RAM anyway because it seems to run a bit sluggish, but the Mini maxes out at 2G, which is the lower limit of Lion. So it may be a wash, performance-wise.
No, it will be a huge step backwards. Do not, under any circumstance, install Lion if you can possibly avoid it. Not only is 2GB not enough to run Lion in any reasonable manner, but even if you have more RAM than that, Lion is a molasses sucking pig. The last OS for any hardware I used that was that bad and that much of a step backwards from what came before it was... umm... Wow, can't think of one. Lion wins. Or, actually, loses.
Installing it was the worst single decision I've made regarding Apple software on my early 2008 MacBook Pro. I even did a clean install from official Apple USB media (i.e. the USB fob you had to pay extra for instead of just downloading it) and upgraded RAM to 4GB on account of Lion. Take it from myself and several of my coworkers who regretted every getting within 100 feet of Lion that it is best avoided. Mountain Lion didn't suck, but only by comparison to Lion. Mavericks is a little bit better yet, but still not nearly as snappy as Snow Leopard.
My gut reaction: Don't worry about Snow Leopard being out of date, even security-wise. A man-in-the-middle is rare in most environments, and Snow Leopard is already quickly diminishing in market share, so it's not terribly likely to be widely exploited. Compared to the every day pain you'll cause yourself by installing Lion or later, the tiny risk profile of running a vulnerable Snow Leopard is worth it, in my opinion.
Your observation jives with one of my own thoughts on the matter.
Many people have something which they incorporate as the center of their identity, be it their race, their ethnicity, their gender, their sexual proclivities, their religion, their choice of operating system, their athletic team, their place of origin, their family, their career, their hobby, and so forth. People who have convinced themselves that their very identity is tied first and foremost to one aspect of life have an incredibly strong, even visceral, reaction to anyone who expresses anything less than complete agreement with them. There is a term for this: zealotry. A zealot is unable to distinguish disagreement with their view from a personal attack or even hatred, as their very identity is melded with that for which they are zealous.
One of the most zealous sets of people we see today (at least in my myopic U.S.-centric personal experience) are homosexuals. Perhaps I'm mistaken, but my observation seems to be that this particular group of people has made homosexuality the defining feature of their life. As such, even minor disagreement with the idea that homosexuality is completely normal results in a strong adverse reaction and accusations of fear and hatred.
Personally I am saddened by this, that people have focused so strongly on one aspect of their identity so intensely that they view themselves first and foremost as that thing, rather than as a person, complete and whole. This is unhealthy, and when widespread (as we see today most strongly in both political zealotry and the zealotry of homosexuality) we end up with a fractious society that struggles to engage in a civil exchange of ideas, and at its worst can lead to quite literal violence and bloodshed.
I certainly hope not.
My sister's car was damaged when an SUV rear-ended me as I was stopped at a traffic light. The driver of the SUV did stop, but refused to identify herself and provide insurance information. I could tell by the driver's actions that she was about to flee, and quickly noted her license plate number, and sure enough she fled while I pleaded with her to reconsider what she was about to do.
It took about a month longer than it should have, but eventually the machinery of justice caught up with the driver, and my sister was made whole for her financial loss. If it hadn't been for a clear and visible license plate it is doubtful that any compensation would have ever been recovered.
Good developers knows that displays should be limited to 80 columns by 24 rows. In extreme cases 132 columns can be used, but it tends to make users all huffy.
The choice of font can be left up to the user.
While overall I liked SC2 better than SC1, I too missed the strategy game aspect of SC1, for much the same reason -- it was a quick strategy game instead of a long RPG-like adventure. SC2's humor was spot-on, so that was a huge bonus.
I remember not having a code-wheel to use to start up SC1, but my college roommates and I knew that "PARTY" was one of the answers to the startup challenge screen, so whenever we'd want to play it was "cd \games\starcon", "starcon", followed by repetitions of "party", "party", "party", then F3, until the game let us in.
Also, the SC1 music emitted by the old Radio Shack "Game Blaster" was better than that from the Sound Blaster that I replaced it with -- I can still feel the melee music in my bones 23 years later.
I have no idea if that's enough shielding to matter. However, if true, would we also see higher error rates in daytime when the body of the Earth isn't standing between the server and the Sun?
I looked back at my past year's worth of bills and saw that I used a total of 3648 kW-h. I'm not sure if that's good or bad, though each month my power company sends me a notice that states I'm using about 15-25% less energy than my energy efficient neighbors. I live alone in a house that's bigger than I need but not ludicrously so, and I don't tend to leave computers running. As 30-year old appliances fail I've been replacing them with more efficient models, and as they burn out I'm replacing incandescent light bulbs with CFLs (but dang, some of those daily-use incandescents are over 12 years old at this point, I'm beginning to think they'll never fail).
The big surprise for me, however, was my bill from last January; my electric energy use easily outstripped even my summertime air conditioning use, and was a fair bit higher than the months immediately before and after. The bill kindly informed me that the average temperature that month was 9 degrees colder than the year before, but I couldn't see that making such a huge difference. Could it be the air circulating fan in the furnace that I let run on low most hours of the day? Maybe, but why the anomalous month? I considered a incorrect meter reading, but realized that it's read remotely rather than by a guy walking around the neighborhood, and any mistake would have been offset the other direction the next month. Then I remembered.
For occasional use by my houseguests I have one of those oil-filled radiator-styled space heaters in my guest bedroom. I recall that sometime in that December-January timeframe the heater was used, and I forgot to check that it was turned off after a houseguest left. It sat there maintaining a comfy temperature in the otherwise unused bedroom for approximately a month before I happened to enter the room and noticed.
So now I know just what an energy pig that space heater is, and I'll be extra careful to check in on it after houseguests depart. Thanks Slashdot, you've probably saved me several tens of dollars over the next decade as I become more vigilant about the heater's use.
Sorry, I had LED's on the brain, but meant LCDs. If you would be so kind, please s/LED/LCD/g
Am I the only one who doesn't want brighter whites, and would even go so far as to avoid them?
On my smartphone, computer monitors, laptops, and even my old CRT monitors and TV I keep the brightness turned down. When I have opportunity to see LED TVs at my parent's place or elsewhere they always seem eye-piercingly bright, to the point where I don't care to watch them. The same goes for any LED based TV in a store -- or basically anywhere. This was one of the main reasons I was looking forward to eventually purchasing a plasma TV (instead of an LED TV) to replace my CRT TV.
Truer whites I'm all for, but brighter whites do nothing at all for me.
Thank you for mentioning this! I purchased Tracktion 3 for the Mac a number of years ago because its workflow and interface mapped better onto my brain than any alternative I could find (well, at least those I could demo for free, which was quite a few). However I was disappointed when Tracktion appeared to become an abandoned and unmaintained product, and it kept losing bits of usefulness with each OS X release. To be honest I'd given up on it and considered it to be lost money. But if it's back I'm *definitely* going in for the new version -- particularly as even the non-upgrade price is now around 20-25% of what I paid for the previous version (and an even better ratio on the upgrade price).
I initially looked at it for the purpose of MIDI sequencing, and that's what I based my purchase decision on. However I never used it for that purpose but instead have done a small number of multitracked board recordings from my live sound-guy gigs. Back before the bit-rot it did an absolute bang-up job for those projects.
But, anyway, given there's a new version and it would appear that active development has resumed, I'll definitely recommend checking it out. I mean, there's free demos for Windows, Mac, and Linux -- with certainly enough going on in the demo to determine whether it fits your style of operating and is worth purchasing.

Nothing was lost? All the work that the government workers could have been doing during the shutdown was lost.
You mean all that work that was so important that it was deemed non-essential?
All the revenue from the National Parks were lost.
Which amounts to what, maybe a grand total of a couple million, nationwide? Maybe? The federal government burns through that in seconds.
Two weeks food inspections, drug inspections, VA claims processing were lost.
And yet safe food and drugs were still being produced, shipped, and sold. The lost value-add was... umm...? And a few VA claims are paid out to drug companies and the like about two weeks late -- yawn.
Worldwide confidence in the US and the US dollar was lost. US credit rating was compromised with the possibility of higher interest rates on new deficit.
Wake me up when people stop loaning the U.S. federal government money, charge it higher rates, or stop keeping their wealth in dollars. If anything those first two effects can't come soon enough, to put the brakes on the spending spree that's selling out of every taxpayer, particularly the younger ones who will labor under the burden of paying that debt for most of their life. I say throw the retiring Baby Boomers to the wolves -- they spent their trust fund on federal baubles for decades, and now it's time to pay the piper. That fable about the ant and the grasshopper has more than a little merit.
Scientific tests will have to be thrown out and restarted.
So this was all a job creation program for scientists, you're saying? After all, they can look forward to redoing all that work. Sounds just about as effective as the previous economic stimuli to me!
And nothing of value was lost. Or gained.
I used to do the same thing, due to most of the same reasoning. My thoughts had always run along the lines of "I'm have a pretty healthy and robust immune system, and I rarely get sick. It's no big deal if I catch a flu bug because I'll fight it off quick." Plus, it was just a hassle to go get vaccinated against the flu.
Then one year I picked up a nasty lingering cold, which of course there's not much I could do about other than treat symptoms. But it dawned on me partway through that if I were exposed to the flu while my system was already knocked down a few pegs by a cold or other infection, that I would be in a world of unnecessary self-inflicted hurt.
Since that time I've availed myself of flu vaccines. I really can't tell you if they've helped me avoid a bout of the flu, but I have recognized the trend of it being slightly harder to fight off colds and other infections as I age, so to me it seems to be a trivial and inexpensive betterment of the odds.

For the past five years McCoy has lived in the prosperous, tree-lined residential neighborhood of Morningside, nestled between Biscayne Boulevard and the bay, east of Little Haiti. And for five years McCoy has tried to get used to the noise of jets thundering overhead en route from Miami International Airport, six miles away, to destinations around the globe. The phenomenon was at first occasional but is now constant, with planes roaring overhead as often as every half-minute during peak hours.
Moreover, he says, many planes taking off to the east on their way to southern or northern destinations are banking above Morningside, which creates even more noise. He suspects there's been a change in flight paths, and Miami's central neighborhoods, most of which are low-income, are getting the shaft. For the past year he has choreographed a letter-writing campaign among annoyed residents.
"We deserve the right to enjoy a certain quality of life," argues McCoy, who also led the recent successful drive to erect guard gates at the entrances to his neighborhood. "This means that a massive bureaucracy like the Dade County Aviation Department must listen to community members like us."
Enter Jeffrey Bunting, environmental planner for the aviation department and the guy who listens to all the noise about, well, the noise. He's a preternaturally cheerful bureaucrat who says things like "Sounds great, bud!" "Super!" "No problem!" and even "Super no problem!" -- despite the fact that he fields about 100 calls per month from people who want to yell at him about the din of planes. He's received complaints not only from Morningside but from Virginia Gardens, Miami Springs, Key Biscayne, Miami Beach, Doral, Coconut Grove, North Miami Beach -- "You know what woulda been easier? To ask where in Dade County I don't get complaints."
Bunting rebuts the speculation that specific neighborhoods are purposely being singled out, or that recently there has been any shifting of customary flight paths, but he does acknowledge that the departure and arrival procedures are a mess. In a conference room at the airport, he pulls out a large piece of posterboard on which is drawn a map of central Dade covered in a tangle of blue lines: current departure patterns from the airport's three runways. "Looks like a bowl of spaghetti, doesn't it?" he asks. "We're all over the doggone place."
Part of the confusion -- and attendant noise problem -- lies in the fact that Miami International Airport doesn't have a mandatory noise-reduction program designed to reduce aircraft noise pollution. Instead the airport distributes voluntary guidelines to its airlines, guidelines that govern airplane flight procedures such as the angles of ascent and descent, as well as arrival and departure routes. The recommendations are vague and allow for wide variation in behavior.
But the absence of a mandatory policy angers McCoy. "There's no reason why the county shouldn't have a compulsory noise-abatement policy," rails the pilot, who requested that New Times not identify the name of his employer. "We should be no different from Chicago, Washington, Tampa." The county, he asserts, is hesitant to implement compulsory rules because airlines will complain about cost disadvantages and threaten to move to other, less regulated airports.
Bunting, though, says such a policy is unnecessary and would require a time-consuming and expensive approval process. The planner, who arrived from Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport three years ago, is instead trying to implement new procedures and policies that would achieve the same end. For example, he is overseeing the creation of a "noise office" and the installation of a new radar and sound-monitoring system that will allow airport officials to track flight paths better. He has also dreamed up several new directives he hopes will allow Dade's citizenry to sleep better. Among them: a simplifying of arrival and departure flight patterns.
He hoists another posterboard. The turmoil of the previous diagram has been replaced by several branching lines. According to this plan, planes would travel along specific routes from the runways, then turn over Biscayne Bay, downtown Miami, or the Atlantic Ocean. Another of Bunting's proposals would require airlines to be more consistent in their takeoff procedures and force pilots to depart at steeper angles.
Finally, he wants to encourage more westward departures. For reasons of physics, pilots must take off and land into the wind, except in calm conditions. And since the wind at the airport generally blows from the east, most planes have to depart toward the east. Therefore they must fly over the more heavily congested residential areas of Miami. But according to Bunting, planes almost always take off toward the east -- even in calm conditions. This, he insists, is unnecessary. He wants to gradually wean the control tower and airlines from the habit of eastward departures by requiring westward takeoffs during nighttime hours when the wind speed is five knots or less. Bunting hopes to present his ideas to the Dade County Commission in the next several weeks.

now this relates to nuisance marketing calls from HSBC rather than debt collectors but the principle is the same, after many letters asking them to stop ringing (they'd pretend it was a matter about our account in order to get to marketing something) without success i adopted a very succesful strategy and the conversation went like this (dates and names changed)
HSBC Hello can i speak to david john smith please
r/ yes speaking
HSBc introduction rubiish then - before i commence can i just go through
some security questions with you
r/ yes of course
HSBC what is the month and year of your date of birth
r/ my FULL date of birth is 14/10/1955
hsbc im sorry that is not what we have on our records can you just
confirm the month and year of your date of birth
r/ yes i just told you my date of birth is 14 october 1955!
hsbc I', sorry this is not the information we have, you ARE Mr David John
r/ yes of course i think i should know my own date of birth don't you?
what date of birth do you have on your records
hsbc im sorry i cant tell you that data protection act
r/ so what is it you wanted?
hsbc Im sorry i cant discuss that as you didnt pass the security check
r/ thats a shame you seem so nice- goodbye!
on the next few calls i continued to change the date of birth and continued with the ploy
hey presto 2 weeks later- no calls
you could of course just give a different name and say your brother is not at home he's away for 6 weeks on a cruise or travelling the country looking for work
whatever......... they certainly cant discuss anything with someone else about your account theyre stuffed!
try it- it works

More than 2,000 inmates in the U.S. are serving mandatory no-parole sentences because of crimes they committed as teenagers.
Seven months after the Supreme Court struck down no-parole sentences for teens, parole remains an issue in many states.
There's a decision pending from the Pennsylvania Supreme Court. The Missouri Supreme Court is hearing arguments in February. Illinois appeals courts have ruled in favor of prisoners, Florida appellate courts have said no.
In Michigan, a federal judge has ruled that last year's high court decision applies retroactively -- and inmates serving no-parole sentences for murder committed as juveniles are entitled to a chance at release.
The state's attorney general is considering an appeal.

Devil - Sakizou Illustration
Sakizou Illustrations are pretty famous and in this moment a huge number of cospayer are making cosplay costume from these.
I saw very beautiful one but I suddenly felt in love with this hot-pink simple Devil *o*.. I was supposed to wear it in a Sakizou cosplay group but due to the cloudy and almost rainy weather, the rest of the group decided to not make the group.
After all I think this is one of my best costume ever, and I definitely LOVE the wig!
It was so curly and looked gorgeous on me... maybe I have to consider grey color for my hair..

Chances are that at some point in your research you'll find yourself working in an area of the world that is more than a short drive from home for you. If you are like most genealogists, you'll seek help for understanding what resources are available for that part of the world through magazine articles, informative books, and perhaps even the personal experiences of other genealogists.
Increasingly, the Internet can also enable you to investigate a location of interest without stirring from your computer chair. Informative Web sites offer the chance to learn about a region's or a country's history, culture, and resources -- essentially, to do background research before you actually invest in a voyage to its primary genealogical sources.
In the lesson that follows, I have chosen a specific location to use as a demonstration; although some of the Web sites listed are specific to that location, you can easily adapt the ideas to work for your own locations of interest. Note that this research technique also works for areas within your country -- either a town in the next county or across the country. Using armchair travel research doesn't necessarily apply only to foreign research!

There really is a sixth sense: it's called proprioception. It is the sense of position and movement. It is produced by nerves in our muscles and connective tissues. Without proprioception, you couldn't stand up. You couldn't so much as scratch your nose, because you wouldn't be able to find it.
What does proprioception "feel" like? It's like asking a fish what water feels like. We can't know, because we cannot shut it off and it doesn't change intensity the way sights or sounds do. You can't truly know what proprioception feels like until it's gone.
There is a very rare neurological condition that deprives people of this extraordinary, little-known sense. Oliver Sacks describes a case of it in his book, The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat: "She continues to feel the loss of proprioception, that her body is dead, not-real, not-hers … She can find no words for this state, and can only use analogies derived from other senses …."
This is an extremely high-quality slow-motion video of a cheetah running (well, five of them over three days actually). It is an amazing demonstration of proprioception at work. Note the lack of head movement — that is one exquisitely fine-tuned and effective motion control system! Cheetahs probably keep their gaze steady to help the hunt, so vision is a major part of the equation here: but it's mostly proprioception that keeps track of where all the body parts are. Just fascinating. And beautiful. And cute too! All at once.
Proprioception is a large sense. It produces a tremendous amount of data, as much or more than all the other senses combined. So although it is a silent sense, it is a very important one. Just knowing that it exists is significant self-knowledge.
The nerves that generate proprioception are embedded in the tissues of our musculoskeletal system: in muscles, tendons, ligaments, joint capsules and cartilage. They send information to the brain about how much tension or pressure is being applied to them, and how quickly it's changing. You actually know the direction and focus of your gaze because you know the position of your eyeball, and the effort it took to change the shape of your lens. The brain uses this information to figure out how hard your quadriceps are contracting, how bent or twisted your knee is, how long a step you've taken. It tells you the size of something held in your arms by their position. It tells you the effort needed to lift a glass of water without throwing it into your face.
Proprioception is even more complex and vital than that. You might expect the brain to be able to figure out the position of the eye based on what you are looking at. But that's not how it works. You actually know the direction and focus of your gaze because you know the position of your eyeball, and the effort it took to change the shape of your lens. Without those nerves in the muscles of the eyeballs, we would be able to see, but we wouldn't know where any of it was. Try to imagine that! You would, in effect, be virtually blind.
An understanding of proprioception is routinely applied in a variety of physical therapies. The most familiar example is the relaxing effect of vibration. This works on a simple principle called "proprioceptive confusion." If you move or shake the body at random, the brain gets a deluge of nonsensical proprioceptive data. The nervous system, overwhelmed by the random stimuli, effectively "gives up" and stops resisting the movement: providing you with deep, muscle loosening relaxation!
Similarly, proprioception is also responsible for most of the feeling of sensory novelty that we experience when we are massaged. Although stroking sensations on the skin are certainly significant, most of us also crave the deeper sensations of our proprioceptive nerve endings being stimulated for us — the unfamiliar movements of joints, the pressures on our muscles in places we can't reach ourselves, the incongruously effortless stretches of tendons and ligaments that are normally only stimulated by intense exercise. Without proprioception, every massage would feel like just a skin massage: a poorer sensory experience.

House up for sale - and no one's biting...
It's Marlene again. Thanks to all of my fellow gardening lovers for all your thoughts and experiences about moving and leaving your gardens behind.
If anyone of you have read My Page, you know I'm a comedienne. But I'm not laughing right now! Michigan's economy sucks. Hardly anyone has come to look at my house. It's been up for sale since February. Price is not the issue. We have already lowered it significantly. No one seems to be buying houses around here. We are using a good realtor.
So why am I writing? Because of our financial problems, I have been unable, and not extremely motivated, to take care of the lawn and gardens as I should. Dandelions are getting ready to shed their seeds. But food comes before top soil and fertilizer! I've been gardening for friends to make some extra money. Their gardens sure look a lot better than mine!
Someone motivate me to garden!
Thanks for listening. Again.
p.s. Remember - tulips are better than one.
Curb appeal - if your lawn and gardens look neglected, people conclude that your house has been neglected also. Get to work and make it beautiful. Elbow grease is free!!!
Wishing you luck.
My DH and I were just talking about this last night. The old saying applies -- "you only get once chance at a first impression." If they drive by your house and the first impression is that it looks unkept, they may not come back to see the rest of it.
Get out there! It will do a lot for your house and your SOUL!
I agree with the others. Curb appeal can make a huge difference as to whether or not someone wants to come look inside. We did some massive and quick house-hunting in this area when we moved here last summer. Total intention to buy, looking for the right space, and needed to find it quickly. More than once I was turned off by terribly crappy gardening. Hard enough to move when I didn't want to...but moving to a place where I would have to kill myself to get it livable, was NOT on my list of things to do. I was up to my armpits in boxes and two kids. Moving from a different time zone, concerned about getting my daughter into school... Last thing that I wanted to do was fight weeds too, kwim? And I was leaving my own gardens, did I want to start from scratch? NO. Again, more than once walked around a property and thought "no one loves this place". Add bad paint jobs and all of that and there would be a tipping point of work that we said no, too. Have to redo paint and trim AND garden and and and? Screw it.
What I do if I were you would be to sit down with your agent and ask some specific questions regarding what buyers in the area are asking about as a group. Wants and needs, in a general way.
Back in CA, you could sell ANYTHING eventually. Lots of "as is" properties. We sold our home with a deck that had termites. I'm not joking. And it didn't affect the price of the house.
Here? I just read an article that said buyers are so picky, some will turn down a house if they don't like the color of your carpet. @@ That tells me volumes. Tells me that my place better be spanking clean and perfect in order to sell (and we MIGHT have to this summer). One property I went through had a sign that said "owners will powerwash and stain the deck if necessary". WHAT? Another sign of pickiness in buyers in general...
The house needs to be excruitiatingly clean. No bad grout in the bathroom. Fresh paint if need be. My sister had a trick of using her breadmaker on the morning of an open house. Smell of fresh bread makes things feel homey. Myself, I put cinnamon and nutmeg in some water in a pot and simmer low on the stove. Flowers in a vase..Things that make you think "a lovely family lives here"...
And then I would do the gardening in a way that says "I love my place". Put in some happy massively bright and eye-catching annuals in front beds. Some fab stuff in containers on the porch. Get rid of the damn dandelions and have perfect edging. Keep the thing watered and mowed. Prune back stray tree branches or chop down some of that hedge if it's hiding the house completely. Think HGTV...
And when someone comes through? Romance them with that garden. I saw it happen when I spoke with our stager. We stood on teh back deck and I talked about our backyard like it was an old lover. I told her all about the loveliness of it during the season and the ease of taking care of it. By the end of it, she went "oooohh, it must have been so nice to live here".
It was at that moment that I realized what I had just done. I made her fall for the place too. You might want to do that to your agent, so your agent can really sell your place.
People buy HOMES, not just houses. If you are selling what you love, someone will buy it. If it's just an albatross, if the market is slow, it'll be a problem.
Btw, one other thing that you might consider is to go house hunting with your agent pretending that you want to buy and see what is out there and what your competition is. That might also give you ideas as how to better market your place.
I bought a house in michigan last week four days after seeing it for the first time from inside. I had been looking at houses for two days only when I put in a bid. I looked for maintenance inside and out and considered it an important factor in my decision. Also, landscaping was important for me. Just go through magazines or consult a professional such as Bordine's and then fix the lawn. It will make a difference. Houses are still selling and there are buyers out there for a well-maintained house.
My agent was Kathleen Goodrich and her no. is 248-644-6300. She came highly recommended by our friends who have bought and sold 3 houses with her help in the michigan area over the last few years. She might be able to offer you some good advice.
You may be getting to a point where people aren't coming to look at your place because it's been on the market for too many days. I know when we've been looking, our first thought on seeing a high days-on-market figure has been, what is wrong with that house? and then often as not we passed it over without going to look at it. ...I'm not saying anything is wrong with your house specifically, just that people turn down houses with high DOMs. If you haven't got a contract by mid-June, if you can, you might want to take it off the market for a bit, at least til fall when it'll pick up again. Summer is the absolute worst time to try to sell a house.
We are putting our house up on the market next January (I totally get the conflicted feelings about gardening when you know you're going to leave it all behind!) I agree completely that curb appeal is everything. I bought my first house despite its truly ghastly condition because I irrationally fell in love with a magnificent garden. So definitely get out there and attack those dandelions! It is totally a heart-wrenching drag to invest time and money in a yard you know you're leaving, but financially, it's worth it: http://www.asla.org/nonmembers/publicrelations/homeowners_guide.htm Presumably you've already invested a lot of what you're going to from your previous years of gardening - but this is the BEST time to fill in the holes and tidy up.
If you do want to keep it on the market, here's ALL the advice about landscaping that our realtor and his landscape designer friend suggested to us, emphatically, and over a good deal of beer:
- Gardens in general really do help sell the house - but only if they're in good condition. Unkempt yards and ESPECIALLY weeds make people think that the house has been poorly kept up, too. (We do all organic, and our realtor has been BEGGING us to ChemLawn the place or something so the lawn looks all nice.) Prospective buyers routinely do a drive-by to look at the outside of houses before even scheduling an appointment. When I was looking - LOL I'm not proud - if I could, I went down the alley and peeked over the back fence too. If your yard looks ratty they may never come to look inside.
- Both our realtor and a landscaper friend said that most people just cannot for the life of them envision a garden from drawings or a list of plants. (I don't understand that personally, but I have the perfect example of this in the blank stares of my husband when I moon over plant catalogs, LOL.) Most folks need to SEE it in its full glory to understand just how great your garden is. It's not enough to know there are some perennials back there someplace that you haven't gotten around to tending to.
- In keeping with that, they both urged us to take photos of the garden at its peak throughout the season - all the way from crocuses in the snow to the last of the fall Misicanthus plumes. Then when you have showings or open houses, you can have large printouts of your pics in a little binder for people to flip through. My realtor has done this trick before and had fantastic results - it's the gardening equivalent of making cookies in the oven before open houses. For one thing, it allows prospective buyers to see your hydrangeas or iris or whatever in full glory even though they're just dead sticks at the time of the open house. Possibly more importantly, it keeps them hanging around in the house for longer while they look. The more time they spend in the house, the more likely they are to buy. ...If you're missing photos you wish you'd gotten earlier, you can always go online and find close-up pics of plants you have, and supplement with those. But it sounds like if you can muster it, you've got perfect timing to make your garden kick a** all summer. (LOL hopefully it won't be all summer!)
- Write a little mini-guide in *excruciating* detail (but not in a way that makes it sound hard or scary)of what's in your garden, how easy it is to take care of, and any other tips you can think of. Your realtor should be able to put that on a web page or you should be able to make it into a brochure with pictures of your house and garden. ...People really seem to like this and it reassures them that they won't kill everything anyway.
- Is your garden mentioned prominently in your ad? And are you putting descriptive enough ads out there? We just rented our apartment unit, and we'd had absolutely NO luck until I added a huge description of exactly what our garden was. We went from no calls to almost 100 in a week. ...Our realtor really liked the detail we could provide, because he said that even if a non-gardener bought the house, it reflected on the general standard of care we had for the whole property and made it seem again like a carefully managed place.
- Do you have any online presence for your listing? That's another place some well-done garden pics can really make a place look great. If your realtor is affiliated with a large franchise then you should be able to get this and it's worth it.
- I don't know where in Michigan you are, but think about advertising heavily on Craigslist. It's free and it really worked great for us, and it's spreading fast across the country. ...It can't hurt.
- If you can get it together, you may want to have your realtor do some kind of "garden walk" event/open house for you to draw people in.
- Another thing that you might want to consider is actually investing a little bit MORE in your garden by putting in stuff that's specifically geared to sell a place: plants and shrubs with year-round interest, and/or that are drought/neglect tolerant. This idea was presented to me as a kind of balance thing - on the one hand, most people won't know how to garden as much as you do, so a connoiseur's garden might be daunting, but on the other hand, you don't want to have McLandscaping as that turns a lot of people off. (There are enough Stella D'Oro daylilies in this world, thank you very much.) You want demonstrably carefree plants that escape total banality but also provide multi-season interest. Cranberry viburnum, hardy plumed grasses, some of the less common colors of evergreen barberries, red twig or yellow twig dogwood, Harry Lauder's Walking Stick, coneflowers, variegated shrubs like Daphne Carol Mackie, a Japanese maple that is relatively not so much of a PITA, etc. are all great. (My personal faves for this purpose are rugosa roses. Just try killing one. It's impossible! plus, they rebloom all summer, are fragrant, the foliage is nice and bushy and not modern rose-like at all, they turn brilliant purple or scarlet in fall, and they have bright orange or red hips that stick around through fall and right to the end of winter. You can't beat that!)
- Think too about things that put on a tremendous show and then don't ask for anything for the rest of the year. There's an 80 year old peony bush in my backyard that would uncomplainingly pump out 100+ huge showy fragrant blooms a year, whether I fed and watered it or not. Tough hardy rambler roses, less ubiquitous daylilies (like Black-eyed Stella or Strawberry Candy), drifts of naturalizing daffodils, and crabapples are great for the same reason.
- Paradoxically, while I would have thought that the ONLY place to spend money was on perennials, my realtor insisted that we fill in every single remaining gap with colorful annuals. The point was to make the house look as bright and cheery as possible because people would respond emotionally to that instead of saying, Hey, those are marigolds, I'd have to plant those again next year.
- This last bit may be specific only to city folk because it's such a novelty here in Chicago - but think about planting a fruit tree. When people here found out that there was an apple tree in the back yard, and that it did in fact actually make real apples, they flipped. It just charmed their socks off. Our realtor thought the tree added a surprisingly large amount to the value of our house. If you don't have room for a dwarf tree, consider putting in something even like ultra-dwarf blueberries, a strawberry bed or a few raspberry canes, or even a little potted herb garden. People get inordinately excited by the idea of having their own little herb garden - it could cost you less than $50, look nice, and help charm potential buyers.
...Okay. That is just WAY more suggestions than I suspect anyone could possibly want, so now I'll stop rambling.
But not before telling you my current plan to not be heartbroken all the time about leaving my garden: When I have to buy perennials to round out what's there so it looks good for when we put it up on the market, I'm choosing vigorous stuff so I can divide tons of it and keep it when I go; I'm asking some friends to give "foster homes" to a few really choice plants; I'm taking cuttings of absolutely everything I can and nursing them (in multiples) now; and I'm splurging and potting up plants I can take with me so I don't feel like I'm just stuck gardening for somebody else this year. It's making me feel good about tending this garden I love and feel rather unmotivated about, and helping me look forward to wherever it is I'm going. :)
I do hope some of this is slightly helpful SOMEHOW! ...I do commiserate deeply. It's so awful to leave a house and a garden, and the process of selling is so awful... to have to do them both is just unimaginably crazy! let us know how it's going! (and just think of all the new plants you can buy when you sell, LOL)
-I do not know if you are reading this thread still, all the postings above is good solid advice, however, I beleive I sense a undercurrent that not everybody seems to sense, You are selling the house involuntarly.?
'short supply in cash' seems to have quite a bit to do with it...,
I can not imagine that being a comedienne is all that lucrative... unless your name is ellen of course..
Well. then, all the advice above is worthless.
(I have trying to live off my writing and although I am constantly producing, it is not enough to cover much..
I know how it is when you can not justify a purchase of a certain kind of fertilizer or even new topsoil because it will simply take away that crucial bit of money to cover the bills. But gardening I AM, hell needs to freeze over before I stop, )
As a result I became a scaveneger, picking up everything of use out of backalleys- I still do LOL.. copperwire, broken trellises, screws,old chairs etc, etc., I found a brilliant trellis last week.
I do indeed agree, your yard has to be appealing for a succesful sale, a tip is to look at lots that are to be re-built, many contractor's are not giving a rats ass about the plantings and I just a month ago, sat powerless and witnessed a gorgeous lilac about 25 yrs old being chopped down to coffe wood, I just couldn't get it out of the ground and had nowhere to place it..
I also just came from another thread, were a woman in MO just cleaned out a huge cluster of peonies..
keep your eyes open. ESPECIALLY if you are moving around Chicago.
get annuals that you can keep taking cuttings from, buy a clematis if you have enough to spend, get it from brushwood that includes shipping in their sales , pop it in the ground and by the end of the summer It will be all over the place, no kidding, these plants come ready to ROCK. They are WAY better than anything I have found locally for many times double the price.
Don't bother with too many perennials as these still need another year to look their best, except that clem that I really think is gonna add so much more for little.
even nongardeners go bonkers climbing vines.
Furtherhmore, I have a bunch of seeds that never got in the ground, I will be happy to give them to you if you will send me a SASE, I can't imagine that it is too late for you to sow them, and the good thing is, I have some fun kinds not only the run of the mill.
I am so sorry but I truly believe that going out and do some hardcore sweaty chores will soothe you, at the very least you'll be too tired to fret much... One way or other, you WILL have another garden somewhere else, keep yer spirits up and try not to worry too much little bunny, summer is here and things tend to get easier when it is warm outside.
Good Luck!
Way out of your area but have 30+ years experience with this stuff. I suggest you drive throughout the area & notice every For Sale sign & look long & hard at their landscaping/gardening, etc. Espeically notice colors of annuals, then do something totally different.
Good luck!
I completely agree with everyone who says the yard and garden give the first impression and really help to sell a house. My wife and I bought our first house last year and actually went out of our way to look at houses that looked well built but the yard was in terrible shape, the paint was in bad shape, and had been on the market for a long time. Every time we saw a house that fit this criteria the price had been knocked down and the sellers were eager to negotiate.
After looking a number of houses this way we found one that was perfect, except - the front and back yards were completely overgrown and there was fake stone on the front, first floor only. After two thorough professional inspections we bought it. After the closing our realtor told us that she believed the owner could have sold the house in a week for more than he was asking if the outside had just been cleaned up some. We've gotten to know our neighbors and they've said that people were constantly driving up to it and then driving away after it went on the market. After less than $5,000 in construction work (all in the crawlspace) and many hours fixing the front and back yard we just got it reappraised at 28% more than it was appraised for less than a year ago. Yards matter a lot - make sure you get new photos taken if you improve the front appearance.
p.s. It costs thousands of dollars to get fake stone removed from a brick wall, but $30 or less for hop rhizomes to cover it up!
Hi, Marlene--
I don't have any specific advice to offer, and everyone above has already given some outstanding ideas. I just wanted to offer some words of hope...A guy I work with has had his house on the market for over a year in Decatur, Illinois (a depressed market if there ever was one!). After having virtually no interest for over a year, he finally sold it this month to the first person who's looked at it in forever.
Also, my husband and I bought one of those "too long on the market" houses. It was the first one we seriously looked at, and the only we one we seriously looked at. (Thereby breaking all the rules of housebuying, I know.) In the town I live in, most houses tend to sell immediately, so you can run into the problem of not even being able to see a listed house before it's purchased right out from under your nose. So I was leery of why this house had been on the market for months. It turns out that it was on the market so long (for here) for two reasons. The first reason is that it was on the market--again--after less than one year due to a sudden and acrimonius divorce. So the homeowners had done nothing whatsoever to clean it up or even make it presentable, since they had some personal issues going on. (Apparently they would harrass each other by turning the utilities off and on, because when we tried to get the electricity put in our name, there was a "hold" placed on the account barring any further switches!) LOL!
The other, and probably main reason the house hadn't sold is because it's the smallest house in a nice neighborhood...it's too small for anyone with school-aged children, but too expensive for a starter home. So they just had to wait for the "right" couple to come along--a long-term married couple with no kids (us).
Anyway, just wanted to let you know that eventually the right buyers will come along. Around here, at least, summer is the home-buying season, since no one wants to look at houses in the dead of winter, and plenty of houses that were for sale all winter are now selling left and right. I hope the same happens for you. :)
One thing that I would add is that I didn't care how long something was on the market to look at it, but I did mildly wonder 'is something wrong?'
That did NOT mean we wouldn't look at it. Matter of fact, when it came down to making a choice, two of the homes on our top three had been on the market for a very long time. We ended up buying one that had not, but time had nothing to do with our decision. The house was better suited for us, and that is why we took it.
Our number two house had been on the market for almost a year. We were days from making a decision on what we had already seen and probably would have taken that one had this one not come along.
You might want a couple of friends to come in and give you an honest assessment of their impressions of the house. I have bought three houses that we long term on the market houses. I turned around and sold them for quite a profit by making some cosmetic changes. Paint is cheap and easy to apply. Flats of annuals are also cheap this time of year.
I don't have the "gift" of a decorative eye, but my friend, Maggie, does. She came in and "staged" my houses for me before I sold them. She got rid of my clutter, rearranged some of my furniture, and added some decorative touches.
If your community has a garden tour, sign up to be in it. It would be great advertising for selling your house. Also, make sure that your realtor has put your house on local and national real estate websites and has included many flattering pictures of the house and garden.

I've been using this for 7 years and swear by it! While working in the cosmetics section of the store, I got to try all products from a heap of brands and FOAs stood out as the best for me. As opposed to the foam sticks that other liquid liners come in, FOAs wand is an actual thistle brush which I find makes for easy application without having to taunt the skin and glides on smoothly. It does apply on wet (wait for it to dry or dab the excess off!) but once dry it lasts me until the afternoon, where it can be brushed over again if it has faded. The best thing about this is that it doesnt smudge onto the upper lid and if it did need retouching, it cleans off completely with water without leaving a stained streak. Love it!

Great for a cheap eyeliner!
I bought this on a recommendation of a friend. There was a special at Big W for $5.44. What I love about this eyeliner is the applicator brush, it's pencil thin thus I'm able to apply precise thin lines and bulk up the eyeliner if I wish. It took me a few attempts to work the brush properly but don't give up. I have very oil eyelids, I usually always use the urban decay eye primer potion before applying eyeliner but I tried the FOA liquid eyeliner without eye primer and it managed to stay on for quite a number of hours.
Would def recommend if you are after a thin type of eyeliner for cheap!

Let me just start by saying I'm a beginner to liquid eyeliner. I found this really easy to use - the brush is quite thin, and flexible like a thin paintbrush. The handle is long enough to hold without discomfort. The lines are easy to draw. The formula is quite runny. It doesn't have a strong smell. But it isn't as black as I would like it to be. It's more of an ashy charcoal. It also smudges quite easily if you don't keep your eyes closed until it dries. It lasts okay, especially on my oily skin, so that's a plus. It's not bad, but I think I'd like to try something else.

I bought this at Priceline for $8.00 which is really cheap for makeup here in Australia so I thought I'd give it a go.
The brush is super thin and you have to have a really steady hand and experience with liquid eyeliner if you want to make a thin, precise line, so I wouldn't recommend this for beginners.
The formula is really wet and takes quite a while to dry which is frustrating because it can transfer to the lid really easily especially if you have a thicker line.
For the first couple of hours it still looks really pigmented and glossy by the end of the day it has faded and cracked quite abit, so I'd definitely recommend re-applying at some point.
I've been using this now everyday for about a month and I still have loads of product left, and I will be repurchasing :)

I love the pigmentation but the brush is kind of poor quality, for some reason mine won't let me achieve a thin line, it's quite thick. And it comes off and flakes too easily and quickly for me. Maybe this is just mine!

UPDATE: I won't be repurchasing this one. I found this to flake off at times but it has to be the easiest standard liquid liner I've used. I now use Maybelline's Master Precise Eyeliner pen and it makes winged liner even easier!
After so many years of being so stressed out when having to apply eyeliner, using different types of kohl pencils, liquid eye markers, gel liners and other liquid liners, nothing even comes close to being as easy as using this. The brush is perfect because its so thin and flexible, its extremely pigmented and very easy to use and I can finally get a thin line with no worries! Without primer this lasts throughout a whole day for me and I find it to be water resistant not waterproof which is okay for work everyday. If I'm going to be near water I will definitely use a gel or waterproof liner because I have cried with this on and it has flaked off and irritated my eyes.
For everyday use though I'm pretty happy I found this because its one of the cheapest at Priceline and better than the more expensive brands at the 'drugstore' in Australia in my opinion.

This is my number one product out of any in my make up kit! If I could only choose one product to keep out of all my make up (including mascara, foundation, ANYTHING) - It would be this liquid eyeliner. I've been using this pretty much everyday for 8 years and never have I found one as good. There was a time when a friend of mine put me onto the MAC fluidline however I found myself continuously going back to my Face of Australia liner. It sells for $8.95 and lasts forever! I probably buy one every six months so it is 100% going to save you some serious coin if your used to using other more expensive products.
The thing I love about this most is the long thing brush which makes getting a 'winged' eyeliner effect so easy! Unlike other products whose brushes are short and hard to use-FOA on the other hand makes getting that 'FLICK' a piece of cake!

I wish I could have given this 5 lippies as I really like the pigmentation, smooth application and the thickness of the brush (super thin!) and the price... Unfortunately, this really stung my eyes and got into my eyes and rolled up into a sticky ball when I was trying to remove it (and it stung my eyes even more) with waterproof makeup remover... I don't know if it's just my eyes that are overly sensitive, but I really hate that pilling that happens with the product when I'm trying to remove it and it gets stuck in my tearducts etc... gross i know :( The revlon liquid liner does the same thing but it doesn't sting my eyes when I first apply it. So, this stings my eyes when I apply it and stings even worse when I take it off. It's a real shame because everything else was quite good about this product! Sensitive eyes beware.
