As long as there's somewhere where high entropy is OK, it's easy keep the rest of the house neat. When I was a bachelor sharing houses, this area was my room. Now I'm married, it has been the (otherwise unused) second bedroom.

I've got some free home-selling advise for you. Worth every cent, and you've probably heard it before. But I love the sound of my own fingers on the keyboard, so here goes:
If you've got as many "toys" as you imply lying around, get a storage locker for most of them. The place will look a lot cleaner and your buyers won't think of your house as the "hockey house" or the "garage band house" or the "video game place" or whatever. It'll save your realtor the hassle of telling you to "depersonalize" and "declutter" all in one fell swoop, and save you the annoyance too.
The cheapest way to improve your own home's marketability is to get your neighbor to fix up his. Doesn't cost you anything except figuring how to tell him a fresh coat of paint wouldn't hurt. Easier said than done, but a bad looking house nearby makes it harder to sell yours, and a nice one makes buyers think they're safe to remodel or expand without investing more than the neighborhood's max value.
Good luck, and don't forget to paint everything beige.

His neighbor's house was literally falling down, The garage door was broken in half and half of it was still hanging. The yard was a mess, etc. He couldn't sell his home, eventually he was able to buy the neighbors place, and torched it(legally he gave it to the fire dept for training). After disposing of the debris and filling in the basement, he expanded his fence and enjoyed his now substantially large property.
He could sell his place now but he was happier in his home.

Our most obnoxious neighbors were the ones who were worried about their property values. They were constantly siccing the city on all the neighbors, complaining about our yards not being mowed often enough, and not being neat enough, and our cars being too old and dirty. They would have prevented us from doing car repair in our own driveways if they could. Fortunately, this neighborhood was built before HOAs became popular.
They thought car maintenance marked us as low class losers, and they behaved accordingly. Here's some prententious yuppie, who never troubled to learn anything about the neighbors, sneering at us for being poor, when all along we had more money than he did. Our cars were fully paid for. He just couldn't see past the age of our cars. Seems to have never occurred to him that other people might have other priorities in life than keeping up with the Joneses' new car.

Can someone randomly tow something _from your driveway_? Street I can see...besides, here things on the street have to be insured.
Question is did he come out even on that deal or did he lose money? Seems like a house, even a dilapidated one, is worth more than the empty plot is now.
Still, nice to see someone take a clever approach instead of just suing.
To restore it to bare ground requires demolition & disposal, which costs money, so you could be at a point where the building itself effectively has a negative value.
Of course, that would only come into play if the house was beyond economical repair in the first place.

In some locations, a shabby house on a desirable lot is worth about $5000 less than just the lot itself. The $5000 is the cost of the teardown and hauloff.

Of all the places objects can rest, the more unnatural their position, the tidier it looks. Consider a dozen pencils randomly thrown onto a desk, then rotating all those pencils so they're oriented in exactly the same direction (any one direction). The pencils are still a randomly spread out mess, but there's a perceptible improvement. I think it has something to do with how hard the brain has to work to identify each object, and the complexity of disorder is what fundamentally bothers some people about messes.
With a dozen pencils, each being a different brand and length this time, repeat the experiment. The extra difference in appearance between the pencils should make it look even messier than before. Rotating the pencils to match should also be less of an improvement in appearance, because it's more complex overall than in the first experiment.

Regardless of which end of whatever pond you're on, region blocked content is annoying. Whether you're an ex-pat looking to watch reruns of The Wonder Years, or you're hankering for a dose of Dr. Who, here's the best (and easiest) way to get that content.
One of the big problems with streaming content overseas (or from an overzealous college campus that blocks everything) is that the landscape for doing so changes a lot. Just a few years ago you had to jump through a lot of hoops, but in most cases it's now as simple as a using an extension or web service. First, let's look at our favorite way of getting to the bulk of online content. Then, we'll look at the alternatives that give you access to just about anything you want.
The Easiest Method for Desktop: Hola Better Internet
Hola Better Internet was our initial pick for the easiest way to stream region-blocked content, but we pulled it after it started injecting ads. They've since reversed that decision, which means it's returning as our favorite.
With Hola Better Internet, you just install a browser extension in either Chrome or Firefox and you get access to all kinds of blocked content. It works by changing your location on specific sites. So, when you visit a site that's only available in another country, you simply click on the browser extension's button, change the country, and you can immediately access the site. There's no set up time, no changing of settings, and no slow down to your other internet access.
That said, the free extension is a bit limited. While you can get unlimited access to sites, you're slowed down a little because you're a peer for others. There's a premium membership of $5/month if you're interested in removing this limit, but the free account works really well if you're only streaming the occasional show or two.
For Android and iOS: Hotspot Shield
Steaming blocked content to your Android and iOS devices is a little tricky, but it's doable if you're willing to pay for a service. You have a lot of options for different methods, but the most reliable we found was with a VPN. For this, we like Hotspot Shield.
At its core, Hotspot Shield checks off all the boxes for privacy and security, but most importantly it gives you a pretty simple way to access services like Netflix, Hulu, Skype, and others regardless of where you are. Once you sign up for Hostspot Shield, just tap the "Country" button on the main page, and change it to where you'd like to access the internet from. Once you do, Hotspot Shield installs a custom profile, and all your internet traffic goes through servers in those countries. On mobile, that means you can access these servers through their web sites or through their apps. The whole process takes about 20 seconds to get working and it's easy to turn off when you don't need it. You can check out Hotspot Shield for a week for free. It's $4.99/month or $29.99/year after that.
All that said, nearly any good VPN app will work on mobile and it really depends on which countries you're trying to access. If Hotspot Shield doesn't do the trick for you, Tunnerbear and CyberGhost (which has a ton of country options but no trial period) are both fantastic alternatives that are worth a look. We also like Hola on Android because it's made specifically for streaming blocked content to your Android device. Just like the desktop version, you can hit the Hola button and it'll automatically unblock sites. It's free, easy to use, and doesn't require a lot of work to set up.
For Set Top Devices: Unblock-Us
Unblock-Us has been our pick for the best way to access the Olympics every time, because it's cheap, easy to set up, and works on basically any device that accesses your router. That means that any device you have—whether that's a Roku, PS4, or whatever else—can get access to overseas content. The setup process is a little different for each device, but they have guides for pretty much everything you could possible want to connect. Unblock-Us has a massive list of supported services and constantly updates with guides to unblock current programs (like removing blackouts during the NHL playoffs).
Unblock-Us will run you $4.99/month, but you can check out a week long trial to make sure it works for you. You have a lot of options in this space, but Unblock-Us easily takes the cake on the number of devices it supports and solid customer service.
Alternative Methods
You have a lot of options for streaming blocked content, and depending on where you are and what services you want to access, some other methods are better than others. Here are a few more great options to choose from.
- Proxmate: If you're only gunning to unblock a couple of choice services, the previously mentioned ProxMate is another option. After you install the extension, you'll get access to Pandora, Google Play, YouTube, and others no matter where you are, but you'll need to pay for premium access to sites like Netflix and BBC. You'll need to manually install the extension in Chrome, but once it's installed you're good to go.
- Use Any VPN You Want: Another option is to set up a VPN to reroute your traffic through servers in other counties. Any VPN will do (although you might want to stick with one of these five). If you subscribe to a Usenet service like GigaNews, you might even get a VPN for free as part of the package. This keeps your data a lot more private than the above services, but it will likely slow down your connection.
- Tunnelbear: If you want an incredibly easy-to-use, on-off switch, Tunnelbear works wonders. Simply download the software, flip the switch to the location you want, and you can start streaming immediately. When you want your normal internet back, turn it off. The free version will only get you 500 MB for the month (probably less than an hour of streaming), but $4.99/month gets you unlimited access.
- Set up a Proxy Server: If a browser extension is more your style then using a proxy service is easy enough. The speeds won't be that great, but it's easy to shut off when you're done. You can also try the Tor browser for a few more options.
- Media Hint: Much like Hola Unblocker, Media Hint is an extension for Chrome and Firefox that automatically unblocks content you come across on Hulu, Netflix, Pandora, and Rdio. Unfortunately, it's no longer available directly in the Chrome Store, so you'll have to manually install it.
This should give you access to pretty much any region blocked streaming content out there for right now. As other services pop up we'll give them a shot and update when something simpler (or more encompassing) comes along.

Start off April with a raised glass, you lovers of hops and barley, and drink a cold one in honor of
N.C. Beer Month, brought to you by the state's Division of Tourism, is a 30-day celebration of the craft beer industry. The group wants pint lovers to head out — responsibly, of course — to breweries across the state for all-things beer. That includes specialty brews, beer dinners, beer cooking classes, beer making and "beer memories" intended to last longer than those from college.
It's called beer tourism, and local breweries are ready for you to belly up to the bar.
Brewmaster Kevin Kozek took a bushel of Eagle Island Fruit & Seafood oysters up to NoDa Brewing Company in
"It will have a faint saltiness to it," Kozek said. "I think it will turn out awesome."
The breweries made 20 kegs of the oyster stout, which are being divided between the watering holes for an April 11 debut. The collaboration is one of many happening across the state in an industry that put more than $7 billion into the state economy last year, according to The Beer Institute.
There are 61 brew pubs in the state, according to the N.C. Brewers Guild, and is lauded as the brewing mecca of the South.
She said the craft beer industry is thriving partly because of Pop the Cap, a bill signed into law in 2005 that allowed beer alcohol content to jump from 6 percent to 15 percent and because consumers desire better quality in not only what they eat, but what they drink.
"It only makes sense that we would have a thriving craft beer scene," Brender À Brandis said. "Consumers are educated and informed. They want to know who made what, where, how and why. Craft beer is quite transparent in that aspect."
And it has made for good business.
Front Street's Craig thinks the food and drink culture go hand in hand and movements like slow food, buying local and seasonal eating make for smart business partnerships.
Which is why the brewery is lining up regional providers such as
"The theme is From Our State to Your Plate," Craig said. Tickets are $39 for the five-course meal and are available at the bar or online at Etix.com.
"There is so much happening across the state but we also have great beer right here," Craig added.
So if you want to sip a pint without leaving the
Cheers to that.

It was a chance to view their future careers in present day.
A group of students from
"To be blessed to go up and tour this naval ship is a once in a lifetime opportunity," said Angelia Washington, the health sciences program educator and nurse aide program coordinator. "The students have seen Naval Hospital Camp Lejeune, but this is amazing because now they can see a ship with the same capabilities."
The program is a two-year program that typically begins during the sophomore year and gives students national accreditation in basic cardiac life support through the American Heart Association. Upon completion of the required curriculum and the passing of national exams the students become a certified nurses aide I in the state of
"First off, the students had the ability to differentiate between the type of medical services that are offered at traditional naval medical facilities versus medical services that are offered on a medical ship,"
The United States Naval Ship Comfort is a hospital ship with departments ranging from emergency medicine to labor and delivery and everything in between. The ship most recently traveled to
"The ship has twice the capabilities of Naval Hospital Camp Lejeune just because of its sheer size,"
The students not only get to see career opportunities in the Navy but they get peace of mind,
"It gives them awareness that, God forbid, their parents are injured during war, medical facilities like this exist and they deliver high quality medical care," she said.
During the program, students did rotations in the physical therapy department, intensive care unit and labor and delivery.
"These students are the future of healthcare so for us at the hospital, it means we are molding the people that are potentially going to be the next caregivers at this hospital," said Lt. Carlton Bennett, the nursing mentor coordinator for the
The nurses at Naval Hospital Camp Lejeune mentor the students from the high school on a one-to-one ratio.
"We as nurses want to see them succeed in their program and get their certifications," Bennett said. "We are genuinely interested in these students succeeding so they have this accomplishment when they leave High School."
Bennett wishes he had the same opportunity to pursue medicine when he was in high school, he said.
"This gives them a skill in the healthcare industry that they can take with them anywhere," Bennett said. "In the near future there is going to be no lack in healthcare jobs. It sets the stage for them if they desire to go beyond the nurses aide. This gives them a foot in the door."
Katelin Coram, 16, of
"This program is a good thing," Katelin said, "You learn a lot more in depth about the specialties in medicine you can choose. It helps you figure out what you want to do."
She enjoyed the clinical rotations at the
"My favorite was labor and delivery," Katelin said. "The highlight of it all was giving a baby a bath because I thought I wanted to go into labor and delivery. Being there and seeing how it is supposed to properly be done was exciting."
At 9 years of age Katelin was involved in a terrible car accident, she said.
"Ever since then I've been interested in emergency medicine," Katelin said. "There are days where I want to get emergency medicine and others where labor and delivery is the thing for me."
The day taught her that there are a lot of options in the medical field.
"There are a lot more specialties than I thought there were," Katelin said. "I didn't know I could go on a ship and go places to do humanitarian missions.
"(The tour) gave me motivation to go to college and pursue medicine. It showed me I have options."

KHfanboy2 Blog
Dear GS OT...
by KHfanboy2 on Comments
Long time no blog. I've been lurking around for the past few months and I've noticed that a lot has changed for you. I heard you got a new ToS, and a lot of your craziness has gone away. What happened, GS OT? Did the new ToS change you this much?... What happened to all of the good times we used to have? Could it be that... you're breaking up with me, GS OT? Why?... Who is this "Staff" person/people I've been hearing so much about? Are you leaving me for this "Staff" person? And finally, one more question... Where have all the good members gone? All of the people I used to hang out with over the past... *does math* four and a half-ish years have all disappeared... People like zakkro and Zoidy and all the other cool Roll Callers I've had the pleasure of chatting with regularly have gone and fled! Did you drive them away, GS OT? Did you get too serious for them? Whatever the case, GS OT, you sure have changed...
KHfanboy2, the Crazy One
Alright, now that the seriousness is over, hello everyone! :) It certainly has been a while, hasn't it? I've been rather busy with school and getting ready for college and stuff like that... >_> ... and watching anime and playing video games... >__> I haven't had much time to post on here as much as I once did, with the Facebook and the school and all that other fun stuff getting in the way. *ahem* :P Besides that, nothing much has changed. Sure, I've grown older and a lot wiser... now that I'm finally an adult... :cool: ... Ok so maybe not as mature as I should be... But I'm still the good ol' fun loving Kingdom Hearts fanboy that everyone knows and loves! :D *crickets chirp* >_____> Fine... Whatever...

KH died...
by KHfanboy2 on Comments
Hello everyone... This is KHfanboy2's best friend... You all know that he was supposed to get his wisdom teeth out today... He got them out, but because of extensive blood loss, he died...
Tragic, I know... But please, anyone out there willing to donate money to his family in his honor, please do so right now...
Now, in the words of Captain James T. Kirk...
"We are gathered here today to pay final respects to our honored dead. But it should be noted that this death takes place in the shadow of new life, the sunrise of a new world; a world that our beloved comrade gave his life to protect and nourish. He did not feel this sacrifice a vain or empty one, and we will not debate his profound wisdom at these proceedings. Of my friend, I can only say this: of all the souls I have encountered in my travels, his was the most... human."
Wait... I'm getting a telepathic message from Matt... It says...

You must earn 10,000 points to post other members' whiteboard
Thanks for posting on GasBuddy, even though you are here only occasionally or part time! But
I just don't get it! Why do people sign up as GasBuddies and don't show up to post gas prices each day? :( We all signed up to post gas prices in our local area and places we travel to so we all can see where the best gas deals are located everywhere GBs travel. The more prices are updated, then GBs will know that when they drive up to the pump, that's the price they will pay!
All it takes is a few minutes to post 5 gas prices per day (that's generally no more than 2 gas stations that are close to where you live), and many say it's real easy using the smartphone app! 5 gas prices = 750 points each day = 273,750 points in one year! If a GB did the 5-5-5, they would have even more points in a years time; if they were really interested, they would move up to the next level sooner! Keep going, it's nice seeing GBs come back each day! : )
CONGRATS on reaching 35k and getting your new green car!
Welcome to GasBuddy!

The BUAV has today slammed the so-called 'independent inquiry' set up by Imperial College London, into poor practices and avoidable animal suffering, in its animal research departments uncovered by the BUAV.
The College has announced the appointment of Professor Steve Brown, Director of the Medical Research Council's Mammalian Genetics Unit at Harwell in Oxford, to chair an investigation into the BUAV's findings.
Not only is Professor Brown a well-known and strong supporter of animal research, heading the Medical Research Council (MRC) unit which manipulates mice to predispose them to develop all manner of diseases, but the MRC actually funds animal research at the Imperial College. This is hardly an independent inquiry.
Instead the BUAV is calling on the Government to set up a fully independent inquiry into the concerns raised by the report. The inquiry should be independent of the Home Office (which regulates animal experiments) and Imperial College, as well as any institution funding or supporting research at Imperial College.
Michelle Thew, Chief Executive of the BUAV said, "The public are likely to see Imperial's inquiry into the animal suffering and poor practices uncovered by our investigation as a whitewash. This investigation raises significant and far reaching questions about animal research in the UK. We urge the Government to set up a fully independent inquiry as a matter of urgency. The public will expect no less."
The BUAV yesterday revealed the terrible suffering of animals uncovered at the 'world leading' Imperial College London, following our seven month investigation. Animals were viewed as dispensable tools of research and their welfare relegated far below the demands of research, financial considerations and staff convenience.
For further information and to support our call for a fully independent inquiry:
(warning: the film contains footage of animal suffering that you may find upsetting)

A New Life for the Haynes Photo Shop
Plans are underway for a gathering place that pays tribute to the photographic legacy of Yellowstone National Park. Millions of annual visitors walk by the historic Haynes Photo Shop at Old Faithful, unaware of its storied and interesting past. The Yellowstone Park Foundation will breathe new life into the building, and offer new ways to enjoy Yellowstone images.
The original Photo Shop was built in 1895, prior to the construction of the Old Faithful Inn, and was located in the approximate vicinity of what is now the Inn's front parking lot. That building was disassembled in the mid-1930s. In 1926, park photographer and postcard salesman Jack Ellis Haynes applied to the National Park Service for permission to erect his new building near what was then the Old Faithful Campground. The current structure is what remains of the retail building that was "new" in 1927.
In recent years, the building has been used for storage, and for a staff dormitory in a wing that was added. In 2009, the National Park Service presented a proposal to assign the Haynes Old Faithful Photo Shop to the Yellowstone Park Foundation. The Foundation's board accepted the offer, which involves rehabilitating, caring for, and operating the building. Since then, the Park Service paid for the removal of the dormitory wing and for the building to be relocated to a new foundation on a site near the Old Faithful Visitor Education Center.
With few exceptions, the building retains exterior integrity as an example of the rustic "log-out parkitecture" that was prevalent in western National Parks during the decades following the creation of Yellowstone.
The Yellowstone Park Foundation adoption of the facility will serve many purposes: It will protect a building of historic significance; it will provide a place to share the legacy of the Haynes Photo Shop and photography in Yellowstone; and it will serve as a venue for YPF to meet and greet park visitors and tell the story of citizen stewardship in Yellowstone.
Most historic photographs in the park's massive museum collection – as well as memorabilia such as postcards and posters – are currently hidden away from visitors at the Yellowstone Heritage & Research Center in Gardiner, Montana. There simply isn't enough space to display this treasure trove of images.
The interior of the Haynes Photo Shop will enable visitors to get a glimpse back in time by viewing rare old photos of the park, and also enjoy and share their current photos and memories.
Just as it was a century ago, an important part of a trip to Yellowstone still involves capturing the experience with a camera. Ideas being considered for services include a facility for visitors to instantly print digital photos, email digital photos to friends and family, and post their photos on YPF's website for all to enjoy.
The Foundation is fundraising for the $4 million needed for construction, exhibits, and operations of the historic shop. We are accepting contributions specifically designated for this project. The new space is expected to open in the summer of 2013.
