Deadline May 31st: W. Eugene Smith Grant in Humanistic Photography
W. Eugene Smith Memorial Fund
Call for Entries: W. Eugene Smith Grant in Humanistic Photography
Deadline: Sunday, May 31, 2015
Fee: $50
"The W. Eugene Smith Grant in Humanistic Photography is presented annually to a photographer whose past work and proposed project, as judged by a panel of experts, follows the tradition of W. Eugene Smith's concerned photography and dedicated compassion exhibited during his 45-year career as a photographic essayist.
The Smith Grant was established in 1978 following the death of Gene Smith, the legendary American photo essayist. It is today the most prestigious honor in documentary photography. Every year it recognizes a photographer who has demonstrated an exemplary commitment to documenting the human condition in the spirit of Smith's concerned photography and dedicated compassion.
The W. Eugene Smith Memorial Fund, INC., a not-for-profit corporation qualified under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, independently administers the grant program that provides photographers with the financial freedom to carry out or complete major photographic essays. For 2013, the amount of the grant will be $30,000. An additional $5,000 in fellowship money will be dispersed, at the discretion of the jury, to one or more finalists deemed worthy of special recognition. Awards will be presented in a ceremony held in New York City in early October 2015.
The Jury
The Fund's Board of Trustees appoints a three-member international jury every year. The jury meets twice. At its first session it reviews all the applications and proposals, and selects finalists primarily on the basis of the substantive (and intellectual) merit of their project. The finalists are only then asked to submit a comprehensive photographic print portfolio, to write (if necessary) a more detailed and focused proposal, and to answer questions about their project.
At its second session, the jury reviews the new materials and proceeds to select the grant recipient and the beneficiaries of the fellowship money.
Submission Guidelines
You must register on this website by clicking the 'Apply for Grant' link on the side navigation. There is a $50 fee for grant consideration. No preliminary materials will be returned. Applicants should submit:
- A Bio and/or CV submitted as a PDF not to exceed 2 pages. Name the file with your first and last name and use an underscore to separate the names. At the end of the filename add CV.
- The Project Proposal submitted as a PDF and not to exceed 2 pages. Name the file with your first and last name and use an underscore to separate the names. At the end of the filename add PP. This proposal should be titled and lead with a one paragraph executive summary of the project. The proposal following should be concise, journalistically realizable, visually translatable, and humanistically driven. The applicant must affirm that the proposed project is ongoing.
- IMAGES: Applicants can submit up to 40 images total. These should consist of representative images from the project being proposed to the W. Eugene Smith Fund. The applicant can include in his/her submission, past work that represents the candidate's vision and his or her ability to execute the project being proposed to the fund. The images must conform to the following specifications: JPEG files with 1500 pixels on the long dimension saved at 72 dpi. Name the files with your first and last name and use an underscore to separate the names. At the end of the file name add a sequence number starting with: 01. Example: John_Smith01.jpg, John_Smith02.jpg, John_Smith03.jpg."

Since its inception in 1996, over 300 photographers have shown in the PRC Juried Exhibitions—including an array of established photographers and those cited as "ones to watch."Each year, a respected member of the photographic community—from curators to gallerists to photo editors—is asked to select 10 to 15 artists.

Deadline May 7: Dorothea Lange–Paul Taylor Prize
Duke University | Center for Documentary Studies
Call for Entries: Dorothea Lange–Paul Taylor Prize
Deadline: Thursday, May 7, 2015
Fee: $65 USD (up to 20 uploads)
"The year 2010 marked the twentieth anniversary of the Dorothea Lange-Paul Taylor documentary prize. First announced a year after the Center for Documentary Studies' founding at Duke University, the prize was created to encourage collaboration between documentary writers and photographers in the tradition of the acclaimed photographer Dorothea Lange and writer and social scientist Paul Taylor. In 1941 Lange and Taylor published An American Exodus, a book that renders human experience eloquently in text and images and remains a seminal work in documentary studies.
In 2011, in recognition of the changing environment in which documentary artists conduct their work, we decided to reframe the prize guidelines. The relaunched Lange-Taylor Prize supports artists, working alone or in teams, who are involved in extended, ongoing fieldwork projects that rely on and exploit, in intriguing and effective ways, the interplay of words and images in the creation and presentation of their work.
The updated guidelines expand on the idea of "writing" by allowing words to be represented by audio or in graphic novel format. As in the past, edited oral histories, creative narratives, and poetry (that is both personal and social) are also encouraged.
The new guidelines require that artists have already started their fieldwork and have collected representative samples of the project's component parts. However, please note, the guidelines no longer stipulate that a writer and a photographer collaborate on a project. Single artists or collaborative teams working with text/audio/photographs/video/graphic novel format may apply.
The winner receives $10,000, a solo exhibition at the Center for Documentary Studies, and inclusion in the Archive of Documentary Arts at Rubenstein Library, Duke University."

Reminder: Deadline 3/20 for proposals, FotoFest 2015 "Changing Circumstances: Looking at the Future of the Planet
From the FotoFest 2016 Website: SEEKING SUBMISSIONS (complete details here)
"FotoFest's 2016 Biennial of Photography and New Media Art will be FotoFest's sixteenth consecutive Biennial. Over 1,000 photographic and new media artists exhibited works during the 2014 Biennial, and overall attendance was 275,000 people. Curators, artists, collectors, publishers, critics and arts audiences from over 32 countries attended the Biennial.
The FotoFest 2016 Biennial takes place March 12-April 24, 2016.
FotoFest has announced the focus of the 2016 Biennial – Changing Circumstances: Looking at the Future of the Planet. The exhibitions and related programs will be curated by FotoFest Executive Director Steven Evans with FotoFest Co-founders Frederick Baldwin and Wendy Watriss.
To reach as broad a constituency of artists as we can, FotoFest is calling for submissions of work around the 2016 theme.
Across the globe, millions of people are addressing the crises that are affecting the sustainability of life as we know it on this planet. 400,000 people recently participated in international demonstrations concerning the issues of environmental change. Thousands of others are responding, with small and large projects, to the challenges of protecting, preserving and developing the resources of the planet in sustainable ways.
What role is art playing in these processes of change?
How are artists addressing the issues of global change as they affect the planet?
FotoFest is interested in reviewing projects that show how art and artists are addressing the needs of our planet and the ways in which we use the world's resources. This theme includes innovative ways in which art is interpreting and representing the problems of the planet and how human society is adding to these problems.
We do not want to focus simply on representation(s) of the problems, unless there is a very innovative or unusual approach to portraying and/or envisioning the problems. Our goal is to show how people are confronting the challenges and acting – how art and artists are contributing to change. We are looking for pro-active projects and perspectives, and are giving priority to projects examining new ideas and solutions.
We are interpreting sustainability very broadly. The threats to sustainability are not only environmental with reference to the physical environment and its resources – water; biodiversity; energy; air and soil. We also are concerned with population, migration, agriculture and food production, material consumption, and issues of wealth and poverty."

landlord refuses to give copy of tenants lease
I was looking at a houses in Gahanna, the contract went back and forth 3 times. The owner has a tenant this is located in Gahanna ohio.They are on a month to month basis. When I asked for a copy of the tenants lease the land lord/real estate did not even acknowledge this question in the counter offer. When a landlord puts the house up for sale is this not considered a type of notice? also if it a month to month why is this being avoided? Can this be considered false advertisement for sale? If the land lord / reals estate agent refuse to divulge this information? What right does a buyer have? Located in Ohio laws here I have researched don't really answer this type of question, Thanks frustrated in Ohio

Dirty Wars reveals ugly truth about U.S. war on terror: movie review
Richard Rowle documentary about Jeremy Scahill's exposés of America's covert wars opens in Toronto June 14
|Report an Error
Share via Email
Dirty Wars
A documentary about reporter Jeremy Scahill's investigation into U.S. covert wars. Directed by Richard Rowle. 90 minutes. Opening June 14 at the Cineplex Yonge & Dundas. STC
Dirty Wars, a documentary about America's covert wars and the civilian collateral damage racked up in it single-minded pursuit of terrorists, tells compelling stories thanks to serious reporting by magazine journalist Jeremy Scahill.
But Scahill is as much a liability onscreen as he is a fascinating source. He's a tireless digger — and something of a self-promoter — but his droning narration and inescapable onscreen presence wear out viewers quite quickly. How many scenes of Scahill scribbling in a notebook, staring morosely into the distance, or pushing pins into a map on his home office wall can an audience endure?
Scahill, author of Blackwater, based on the story he broke about the private mercenary army that made headlines after unprovoked attacks in Iraq in 2007, now turns his attention to another facet of America's war on terror, where covert operations are required to cope with ever-expanding kill lists.
Dirty Wars opens with a 2010 night raid in a remote Afghanistan village where members of a family and friends celebrating a birth were killed. The bullets were dug from the bodies of victims in an effort to hide the nationality of soldiers.
The U.S. later claimed the deaths of two pregnant women were the result of Taliban honour killings.
It turns out the raid was led by members of JSOC, the Joint Special Operations Command, a military arm with seemingly unlimited reach, which stepped out of the shadows by gaining world recognition as the crew that killed Osama bin Laden in 2011.
Scahill's fact-finding missions are chronicled by Rick Rowley, whose impressive camera talents in Dirty Wars led to it winning the U.S. documentary Cinematography Award at the Sundance Film Festival in January 2013. But Rowley's directing skills don't extend to keeping Scahill off screen enough. His constant, brooding presence verges on caricature.
They two follow JSOC's footprints around Afghanistan, Somalia and Yemen, culminating in a sympathetic examination of the death of American-born Muslim cleric Anwar al-Awlaki, killed in Yemen by a drone attack.
While Awlaki had clearly changed his tone since post-Sept. 11 interviews where he decried American-targeted violence, Scahill argues it's impossible to figure out why Awlaki's 16-year-old son was also killed in an airstrike. Guilt by association or the potential to grow into a security threat are the only reasons Scahill can come up with.
Whether by omission or design, Scahill and Rowley don't seem concerned with engaging the viewer, so the doc feels like little more than a companion piece to Scahill's newly released book Dirty Wars: The World Is a Battlefield.
It never offers the kind of emotion and drama central to far better examples of the modern American war doc, like Danfung Dennis's superb Hell and Back Again, the late Timothy Hetherington's Restrepo or Sebastian Junger's Which Way Is the Front Line From Here? The Life and Time of Tim Hetherington, which opens in Toronto on June 21.

Stars Turn Out For Mumford Mulligan Wedding
Monday, April 23, 2012 - 13:34
It might have been a quiet, intimate affair but Carey Mulligan's West Country wedding included plenty of A-list guests.
The Sienna Miller and Jake Gyllenhaal were there to see the happy couple get hitched.
Not only was Colin Firth.
Carey is said to have become friends with the actor when they were both nominated for a host of movie awards, including the Oscars, in 2010 - Mulligan for An Education and Firth for A Single Man.
A source told The Sun: "She thought it would be funny to have the actor address the room. Unlike his character in The King's Speech, Colin was a pro at the speech. He was his charming self and had the room in fits."
Reports claim Marcus and Carey were married in a converted barn by the groom's father, who is a vicar.

Silicon Power Slim S70 240GB SSD Review - Benchmarks - Anvil Storage UtilitiesSilicon Power's Slim S70 is a high performance SSD with Intel 25nm synchronous flash and a 7mm Ultrabook friendly package.
Anvil Storage Utilities
Version and / or Patch Used: RC5
So what is Anvil Storage Utilities? First of all, it's a storage benchmark for SSDs and HDDs where you can check and monitor your performance. The Standard Storage Benchmark performs a series of tests, you can run a full test or just the read or the write test or you can run a single test, i.e. 4K DQ16.
Anvil Storage Utilities is not officially available yet but we've been playing with the beta for several months now. The author, Anvil on several international forums has been updating the software steadily and is adding new features every couple of months.
The software is used several different ways and to show different aspects for each drive. We've chosen to use this software to show the performance of a drive with two different data sets. The first is with compressible data and the second data set is incompressible data. Several users have requested this data in our SSD reviews.
Fill Compressible Data
Incompressible Data
As with all SandForce based drives, compressible data reads and writes faster than incompressible data.
QD32 Random Read
The Anvil 4K QD32 random read test delivered 58K IOPS.
QD32 Random Write
The 4K QD32 write performance was just over 92K IOPS. This is much higher than Silicon Power's claimed 86K IOPS.

There are no critic reviews yet for Herutâ sukerutâ (Helter Skelter). Keep checking Rotten Tomatoes for updates!
Based on a popular manga about the exploitative and terrifying underbelly of the culture of beauty models and teenage icons that grace the magazine covers in Japan. Faultless airbrushed skin, bright colours and striking poses hide a dark strain on those constructed and marketed pieces of flesh, it what the narrative wants to capture, however the film itself has the airbrushed skin, bright colours and striking visuals but it is empty and lifeless in a jumbled narrative that is all over the place.
The director, Mika Ninagawa, herself coming from a background of photography and there are some really great visuals. There are these 5-6 minute collages of image and sound that really work, creative a real visceral feel bursting with energy but once these collages stop and narrative kicks in, there is corny dialogue, bizarre plot inclusions and a hell of a lot of seemingly pointless junk. Sometimes I felt that the only reason why a scene was included was just to provide a striking visual rather than move the plot in any positive direction.
Then there is the ending, the movie builds to this really strong climax, working on its striking visual strength, but it doesn't end there and 3 different endings come after it, all dreadful and cringe-worthy. Just like the rest of the film, impressive visuals eclipsed by terrible storytelling.

Revolutions in sound recording
This unit looks at the ways in which technology has influenced the music industry and how this has changed the way we listen to music and buy records. It is a brief history of the recording industry from its beginnings at the end of the nineteenth century. Step changes in technology will be highlighted in a story that often is as much about the people who built the industry and the recordings they made as about the technologies that were developed and used.

Details on Industry Insight.
Sanuk is selling to Deckers Outdoor Corporation, a publicly traded footwear company and the parent company of the respected UGG brand, Deckers announced today.
Deckers will pay $120 million in cash, and possibly more based on a five-year earn out agreement. The deal is expected to close in the third quarter, and senior Sanuk management will continue to manage the brand, according to the press release.
Deckers CEO Angel Martinez said the Sanuk brand has "true global lifestyle potential," in a statement.Dac Clark, co-owner of C&C Partners. C&C helped Sanuk leverage its potential with financial backing and operational expertise. Shop-eat-surf file photo.
The acquisition is the second industry acquisition to be announced this month. Just over two weeks ago, French luxury company PPR revealed it is acquiring Volcom.
Sanuk, the Thai word for happiness, is one of the hottest footwear brands in the surf market and recorded $43 million revenue in 2010, according to the release. The brand has been on a rapid growth curve, and is known for its creativity, sense of humor and for its product differentiation. In 2010, the company was on track to double sales when I interviewed executives in November, and they saw the potential to double yet again in 2011.
Founded by Jeff Kelley in 1997, the brand is owned by Jeff and partner Ian Kessler. Jeff is the creative force behind the brand, and is known for his out-of-the-box ideas, such as the Sidewalk Surfer, the Yoga Mat sandal and the Fur Real sandal.
The Sidewalk Surfer
Dac Clark and Paul Carr of C&C Partners, have the license for Sanuk in the U.S., Canada and Europe. Their operational and infrastructure expertise, and their financial relationship with CIT, helped Sanuk manage its rapid growth. Jeff had turned to C&C for help growing the business when there was no more equity left in his home to tap.
Previously, C&C had the license for Gotcha, Rusty and Redsand. Currently, it is a partner in the well-regarded swim line *L Space.
John Vance, Chief Operating Officer, runs day-to-day operations at Sanuk.
The Deckers release did not specify how the proceeds from the sale would be divided between the Sanuk trademark owners – Jeff and Ian - and C&C, which runs the business side of things.
Moss Adams Capital, LLC acted as financial advisors to both Sanuk and C & C in the transaction.

A Taste of Thailand: Top 5 Thai Food Experiences
Attend a Cooking ClassCulinary tourism in Thailand is all the rage. A cooking class can be a great way to spend a half day—or longer—and learn a few fundamentals and some of the history of Thai cuisine. Most classes are under 15 people and those listed here involve hands-on cooking and end with eating what you've created.
Top PickFour Seasons Cooking School, Chiang Mai: At one of our favorite resorts in Thailand (possibly all of Southeast Asia), classes kick off with a shopping trip to the local market. Hands-on kitchen demonstrations are given by world-class Four Seasons chef Pitak Srichan, who carefully explains the finer points of Thai cooking techniques. Four Seasons Chiang Mai Hotel review
Also worth notingThe Blue Elephant Cooking School, Bangkok: Chef Khun Nooror and her team offer morning and afternoon classes that include a local market shopping trip and focus of unique Thai ingredients. Blue Elephant Cooking School review Amita Cooking School, Bangkok: Tam Piyawadi Jantrupon specializes in Thai home cooking that's easy and fun to prepare. Amita Cooking School website
Explore a Street MarketFor an authentic Thai shopping experience and some of the best snacks in the country, don't miss Thailand's famous traditional markets, or talaats. They're an integral part of Thai life. Here you'll find whole families out for a meal at their favorite food vendor or just munching a bag of deep fried snacks.
Top PickDamnoen Saduak: Though it's crowded, overpriced, and flooded with tourist by 9 am, this floating market remains our top pick: a visit here gives you a good taste of the old river life, as well as opportunity for a few tasty souvenirs. To get the most out of this experience, hire a sampan and explore the surrounding canals. Damnoen Saduak review
Also Worth NotingThe Railway Track Market, Samut Songkhram: Located about 40 mi. southwest of Bangkok, this crazy little market abuts both sides of a working train track: stalls are rolled out of the way eight times a day. Ask your concierge about hiring a guide to take you there. Night Bazaar, Chiang Mai: This great big night market sells everything from fried bamboo worms to foot exfoliation by tiny, toothless garra rufa fish. Night Bazaar review
Try the Best Healthy IngredientsBesides being outrageously delicious, Thai food contains some of the healthiest ingredients that you can put into your body. The lemon grass, garlic, chili, and coriander that go into Tom Yum soup are so beneficial that scientists are looking into its ability to fight off cold and flu viruses, and perhaps even cancer. Here are some of our favorite beneficial ingredients.
Top PickBirdseye Chili: Once considered the hottest chili on earth, this vicious little pepper is a staple of Thai cuisine. If you can take the heat, the health benefits are enormous. Studies show that eating chilies helps people sleep better, promotes heart health, and even cures toothache, flatulence, and dyspepsia.
Also Worth NotingGalangal: A Southeast Asian cousin of ginger, galangal aids digestion and is an anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory. Coriander: Rich in vitamins A, B1, B2, C and iron, coriander has been used for centuries to counteract loss of appetite and a number of digestive disorders.
Visit a Street Food VendorDon't miss out on the fantastic experience of trying street food in Thailand. Just follow the crowd; locals know what's good and will probably be eating the cart's specialty. And if you're not sure how to order, just point at the other guy's plate.
Top PickPad: Vendors often add their own twist to traditional pad (noodle) recipes, which only adds to the adventure.. Shrimp, chicken, or veggie pad thai is probably the most famous Thai noodle dish and common in Bangkok, as is pad khee mao (drunken noodles) with its decadently big rice noodles and spicy sauce.
Also Worth NotingTom Yum: A spicy, sour soup that's as nutritious as it is delicious. Larb: This refreshing salad has lime, meat or fish, and a nice dose of fresh herbs.
Taste Strange FruitsYou'll know you're not in Kansas anymore when you walk through any market and see strange piles of edibles but have no idea if they're animal, vegetable, or mineral. Given Thailand's fertile soil and tropical climate, it's no wonder they produce of cornucopia of wonderful looking—and tasting— produce.
Top PickMangosteen: In order to get to the edible bits of a mangosteen, you'll need a sharp knife and determination—it has a thick tough skin that hardens and becomes reddish purple when ripe. The sweet, juicy meat is segmented like an orange and tastes similar to a peach.
Also Worth NotingRambutan: A delicious little fruit with a spiky husk that looks as if it stepped from the pages of a Dr. Seuss story. Durian: Fans call it the King of Fruits but Durian—the spiky fruit in the center above—smells so bad that eating it is banned from many public places.

A nice article on a wonderful place and people, featuring some of the world's best food. I've traveled extensively throughout Thailand and feel blessed to have eaten about everything imaginable there. I'd be a bit careful about some of the street food. For example, when eating street food I stick to a vegetarian diet. One can get into trouble, I think, eating chicken or pork in street food, as it's hard to say how old the meat is or if it has been kept cold in a proper fashion. Noodles and veggies should be fine, on the other hand. -- John Shors, bestselling author of Cross Currents, a new novel about the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami

Auditor-General Lyn Provost has decided a full inquiry into KiwiRail's purchase of rolling stock is not warranted.
Labour's Dunedin South MP Clare Curran asked for the inquiry last August, into four purchases of railway rolling stock in recent years from China Northern Locomotive and Rolling Stock Industry Corporation (CNR).
Provost's office said correspondence from Curran in November and December 2012 raised further concerns about the value for money of these purchases and the effect of the purchases on the future of KiwiRail's workshops in Hillside, Dunedin.
"To assess whether the questions raised by Ms Curran warranted a full inquiry, we met with some relevant staff and obtained background information from KiwiRail on each purchase," the office said.
"The work involved in large purchases of this kind can extend over several years; we have therefore reviewed a substantial amount of documentation dating back to 2005.
"Because of the passage of time and the change in ownership of the company in 2008, we were careful to then take the time to locate and access the relevant records and people at KiwiRail who had been involved.
"Given the highly technical nature of the purchasing process, we used specialist assistance to complete our assessment."
But it said enough preliminary work had been done to satisfy the office there was nothing to suggest decisions to buy locomotives and wagons from CNR were made for anything other than normal business and commercial reasons.
"The processes followed by KiwiRail appear reasonable, the relevant evaluations have been carried out properly, and we have seen no evidence to suggest improper influence over these decisions," the office said.
"We have therefore concluded that further investigation, in the form of a full inquiry, is not warranted."

Zillow's use of a comparable value of $0/sq ft when sales price is known but square footage.
Hi kjeldsorensen. Did you change the home facts themselves when posting the home?
Zillow's use of a comparable value of $0/sq ft when sales price is known but square footage.
Hi kjeldsorensen. By "comparable homes" do you mean the "Nearby Similar Sales" shown for the home or the "Comparable Sales" shown when creating a My Estimate for the home? Both of these sets of homes will include nearby sales to your house but it is not the $/SQFT from this set that is used to value your home directly (i.e., our algorithms don't use $0/SQFT to value your home). The algorithm will use these and many other homes to develop a variety of models that are used to value homes in the area. Some of these models use SQFT but homes without SQFT will not be used to estimate the influence of SQFT in the determination of the sale prices of recently sold homes. It is a common assumption that the nearby sales or comparable sales that we show to help users gather information about local sales are used directly and solely in the algorithms, but they are not. They are used in conjunction with lots of other sales in the area (which are then adjusted via statistical approaches to develop models useful in estimating local sale prices). If you have suggestions for how to make this distinction more prominent to users, please let me know. As to why you are seeing large price drops, how do these price drops for your home correspond to changes in the Zillow Home Value Index for your area (shown on the Zestimates&Charts tab of the home)? If the trends are substantially different, is it possible that you have changed the underlying facts about your home recently?
so long since last update
Hi. Yes, we produced new valuations last Monday (4/20) and were planning to be offline for a couple cycles to make some improvements on the backend. Ended up spending a bit more time to make sure everything was working normally but we're done now and have new Zestimates ready for delivery tomorrow. Thanks for noticing!
Zestimate HISTORY changed?!?!
Hi Kevin. A new Zestimate algorithm was put into place in January 2008 and we re-computed all historical time series at that time as well. We don't plan to re-compute historical series very often (indeed, January was the only time we've done it since launch in 2006) for the very reason that you outline here: it can be disconcerting to some users when history becomes not so "fixed." We do so, however, when there are major changes to the algorithm which we think will give our users a better sense of historical values both on homes (through Zestimates) and regions (through the Zillow Home Value Index). We promise these changes will be few, far between, and well publicized. In the case of your particular home, it looks like the changes made to your home facts (specifically, lowering the lot size by some 4,000 square feet) resulted in a lower valuation when the Zestimate history was recomputed (because when the Zestimate history was first computed, the original home facts were in place). Thus, the original valuation (using orignal facts) on the date of purchase was $560K, the new valuation (using revised facts) on that date is $475K and, in both cases, the Zestimate bumped up to the price you paid once the algorithm had knowledge of the sale (note, when recomputing history, the algorithm will not, by design, consider the sale price in valuations made before the sale date). Anyway, it sounds like you think the original valuation (with more square footage) was a more realistic price at the time you bought your home. Taking the price for which the home sold prior to your purchase (sold for $346K in Aug 2003) and adjusting it by the change in the Zillow Home Value Index between Aug 2003 and June 2006 (when you bought it), one arrives at an adjusted prior sale price of $552K which is higher than the Zestimate at that time and closer to the price that you actually paid for the home. This might suggest that our models were putting too much weight on the models relying on home attributes relative to the ones relying on prior sale price (prior sale price becomes less influential in the mix of models around the three-year mark after a home is sold).Hope this helps.
DANGEROUSLY INACCURATE COMPS & MISLEADING "Zestimate" !!!
Also, ejgallaher writes, "Suppose Zillow provided the comps (as they do now), and allowed homeowners to create their 'layman's appraisal' of their own home? Of course, this could be abused by the homeowner selecting only the highest comps in the area. To counteract this possibility, anyone else could also browse the same comps, and if they wish, they could create (and publish) a 'dissenting opinion'. Everything would be completely transparent, because ALL the data that went into the estimate would be available for everyone to see...A system which encouraged, and enabled, a level of increasing knowledge and confidence in the real estate market would be fantastic."In fact, Zillow does provide this capability via the My Estimate tool. Using this tool, anybody can revise facts about a home, add in home improvements, and pick good comparable homes for a pricing analysis. If you're the owner or agent, you can also publish this estimate for all to see (it's shown right next the Zestimate created by the automated processes). We wholeheartedly agree that local users may have much more intimate knowledge of a home and can, therefore, create a better estimate and we encourage our users to do so and to publish this information for the benefit of other users. As ejgallaher suggests, all the information associated with this custom valuation is shown to all users so that they can review and decide whether they agree or not with the valuation (and, if somebody doesn't agree, they can also create their own estimate of the home via the same tool). See an example of a published owner's estimate here:http://www.zillow.com/homedetails/1308-Eagle-Dr-Windsor-CA-95492/51605513_zpidTo create your own estimate for a home, simply click on the Create link next to the My Estimate line that appears below the Zestimate (or the For Sale price if the home is on the market).The Zestimate is just a starting point in a pricing conversation and we encourage our users to help the larger community by updating facts and creating their own valuations. We're not always right (but, in the spirit of transparency, we do always report how accurate we are in each area) and we hope our users will point out when we are not right and give other users the benefit of their local knowledge by creating and publishing their own value estimate.If these features on our site don't fully address your needs or you think we could do a better job of surfacing their existence to users, please let us know your ideas.
DANGEROUSLY INACCURATE COMPS & MISLEADING "Zestimate" !!!
Hi. This is Stan Humphries from Zillow. There are a few comments here decrying the inability to update facts about a home on Zillow. In fact, a homeowner or agent can do this on our site today. Simply claim the home and then you can modify all relevant facts about the house (click on the Edit link in the header of the Home Info section of any home details page). Moreover, we will then utilize these facts when the next Zestimate is created. See, for example, this home which is for sale. http://www.zillow.com/homedetails/home-info/48744716_zpid Here, the agent updated the square footage of the home and you can see the change in the Zestimate associated with these revised facts. Before the square footage was updated, the Zestimate was below $600K. The agent then updated the square footage, resulting in a current valuation of around $680K (and the home is listed for sale at $660K).
Zillow differs from Assessor
Jim Avery:Thanks for your two examples of square footage issues in Kitsap. The issue typified by the Hillcrest example has been fixed and changes should be visible on the site this Friday (7/20). Thanks so much to you and others for bringing it to our attention. The issue typified by the 16th Street example apparently involves an Kitsap-specific problem with our data provider which results from unfinished basement area being passed to us in an incorrect field. We're working with our partner in this area to get this data fixed as soon as possible. Also, in the coming months, our valuation algorithms will begin to incorporate user-edited information so any incorrect data can be updated by the owner and will then be reflected in the Zillow Zestimate. We?ve already had almost 900,000 homes claimed by Zillow users so user-edited data is an increasingly valuable resource both for valuation and for informing other visitors of the latest up-to-date information about homes. That's a great idea about including an update date next to the Public Facts shown on the site. I've added the suggestion to our list of future enhancements. It doesn't seem too thorny to implement but I can't tell you right now when the change will hit the live site. Don't know if you'll be at the IAAO Conference in Atlanta in September but would love to meet you there if you're going.
