Know which items to pack away and when to leave the shower curtain open

Inman News?

I mentioned "home staging" to a single dad who asked about selling his home this spring. The rest of the men in the group looked at me as if I were from Mars.

"That's great for the high rollers -- the white wine and brie set," one of them said. "But what about people who serve hamburgers and beer, and not watercress sandwiches?"

Home staging is not reserved for the rich -- or for creative women. In fact, cleaning and clearing clutters are the two primary items on Pam Christensen's Inexpensive Staging Tips list for any market. And, guys, it doesn't take a genius woman to help you through the other tips on the list.

Christensen, founder and owner of Staging for Charisma LLC, said guys often forget that they are selling their space, not their stuff.

"There are some staging tips that apply no matter where you live," said Christensen, a licensed real estate instructor and certified staging trainer. "Some tips apply more if you are living on the East Coast than on the West Coast."

Guys, if you're thinking of selling your house or condo this spring, now is the time to prepare your home for sale. Why now? Well, it's the traditional selling season, which means that in most communities, recorded residence transfers are at a peak during June and July. Most of those sales are actually made 30 to 60 days earlier, and it takes time to complete the transaction. Think about the academic year. Many deals are made when the kids are in school, and moves are made when they get out.

What's the best way to make a deal happen? A fresh coat of paint, inside and outside, will do wonders to make your residence show its best and make buyers want to purchase it. If your home looks tired, prospective buyers either won't make a purchase offer or they will highly discount it to allow for the fix-up costs, especially painting. Most buyers want to purchase a residence in model-home condition, so all they have to do is turn the key in the front door and move in.

"White is out, designer neutrals are in," Christensen said. "So what the heck is a designer neutral? Beige, but if you're not careful, that beautiful beige that looked so fabulous on the brochure could look pink on your wall. Warm beiges like Sherwin Williams Practical Beige and Kilim Beige are some of my favorites."

Christensen's other cheap staging tips:

Curb appeal is not dead: OK, nine times out of 10, the first impression of the home is the Internet, but that doesn't mean that curb appeal is out of vogue. The contrast between the chocolate brown bark and the bright green grass makes a striking first impression.

How to get rid of it: It's time to give away the purple cookie jar that you got from Aunt Mary for your 18th birthday, and anything else that you have been saving just in case you might need it someday. Divide everything into three stacks: The purple cookie jar and other things that you never use go directly to the garage sale or Goodwill. The second stack is the things you use but rarely, or they are seasonal and you won't need them while you are on the market. These are packed and stored. What's left can go back into the closets. Will people really look in the closets? Only if they want to buy the home.

Counter patrol: Small appliances like toasters can go into a cupboard. If you have an espresso machine and a coffee pot, choose which one you use the most and tuck the other away.

Bathroom essentials: For toiletries, buy a plastic tote that can come out in the morning and evening and be easily tucked under the sink during the day. Keep no more than one shampoo, one conditioner and one liquid soap in the tub or shower.

And what about that shower curtain? Open or closed? If you have just invested in a new tile tub surround, leave the shower curtain open to show it off.

Say welcome home: Buy a new, tasteful welcome mat for the front entry. It's best if it says "welcome." Adding a pot of blooming annuals by the front door if there's space also creates a friendly atmosphere.

Mirror, mirror on the wall: Place one in the entry or in one of the main living rooms. Mirrors help buyers see themselves in the home. They also help to make the room look larger and lighter. Check the reflection. Make sure you aren't reflecting a view that is less than attractive.

Less is more: You've heard it before, but it is really true. When staging a room in a home for sale, a few well-placed pieces of furniture are all that's needed to show the room at its best.

Famous Cars And Motorcycles ? Hyundai Elantra 2012

May 15, 2012 3:44 am

---

What the Auto Press Says

The 2012 Hyundai Elantra ranks 4 out of 41 Affordable Small Cars. This ranking is based on our analysis of 23 published reviews and test drives of the Hyundai Elantra, and our analysis of reliability and safety data.

The high praises the 2011 Hyundai Elantra received carry over into the 2012 model year. The automotive press still says the Elantra is an affordable small car with upscale amenities that will make others think you paid more for it than you actually did.

The press isn?t worried about whether or not the Elantra will lose its new-car sparkle now that the Ford Focus, Kia Forte and Chevrolet Cruze are in the mix. One reason the Elantra can hold its ground is because it has a stylish exterior that makes the Cruze and Forte look bland. In addition to stand-out exterior styling, the Elantra Limited offers heated leather seats in the rear row, a feature that isn?t available on most upscale sedans. Test drivers appreciated this option last year, and are still impressed with it this go-around.

Most members of the automotive press agree that the 2012 Hyundai Elantra outshines many of its competitors because it?s well-rounded. For example, the Elantra has high fuel economy ratings of 29/40 mpg city/highway, and unlike the Ford Fiesta, Ford Focus and Chevrolet Cruze, shoppers don?t need to upgrade to higher trims to get those figures. Inside, the Elantra offers enough cabin and trunk space to compete with some midsize sedans, a navigation system that?s fast and easy to use and more standard features than other affordable small cars like the 2012 Honda Civic.

The Elantra is a good value, but no reviewers label the Elantra fun-to-drive like the Mazda3 or Honda Fit. But they do say the 2012 Hyundai Elantra makes a great daily driver. After looking at all these qualities, many members of the automotive press say the Elantra is one of the best affordable small cars on the market. Edmunds agrees, and says, ?Thanks to head-turning styling, a fuel-efficient engine and a long list of standard safety features and upscale options, the 2012 Hyundai Elantra is a top pick for a small sedan.?

Other Cars to Consider

Reviewers compare the 2012 Hyundai Elantra to the Honda Civic, Chevrolet Cruze and Kia Forte, all of which are very similar to the Elantra in terms of daily driving capabilities.

The Honda Civic was redesigned for the 2012 model year, but reviewers don?t endorse this model as much as they have in the past because it doesn?t push the envelope in any way. This consumer favorite doesn?t come standard with air conditioning or any kind of radio or CD player, but it does have Eco Assist, which helps you drive frugally. To get more features on the 2012 Civic, you have to upgrade to the nearly $18,000 LX trim, which adds a radio, CD player, USB audio interface, air conditioning, cruise control, steering wheel-mounted controls and auxiliary input jack.

The Kia Forte, however, challenges the Elantra in terms of standard interior features and price. The base sedan starts at about $15,000, compared to the Elantra?s nearly $16,500 base price, and has satellite radio, USB and auxiliary input jacks, Bluetooth and steering wheel-mounted audio controls. It also has a powertrain warranty that lasts for 10 years or 100,000 miles that matches the Elantra?s. The Forte does have more standard features, which sets it apart, and its conservative styling will appeal to shoppers who dislike the Elantra?s modern design.

Details: 2012 Hyundai Elantra
The Hyundai Elantra was completely redesigned for the 2011 model year, and little has changed for 2012. Hyundai improved horn sound, calibrated the steering, added fog lights to the GLS Preferred Package and is offering more color options and an optional roadside assistance kit. The most significant update is the addition of Hyundai?s Active Eco System that comes on all Elantra models with an automatic transmission. Hyundai says this system improves fuel economy by 7 percent, but that claim hasn?t been independently tested.

The 2012 Elantra is more expensive than the 2011 model, which starts at $14,945. The 2012 model starts at about $16,450 for the GLS trim with a manual transmission. Adding an automatic transmission increases the price by $1,000, and upgrading to the Limited trim, which adds leather seats and a tilt and telescopic steering wheel, raises the price to $20,445.

?Hyundai?s Elantra sedan follows the lead of the larger Sonata with attractive styling and good fuel economy. While it might not stand out in any one area, this compact car does most everything well. That makes for a compelling package in this highly competitive class.? ? Consumer Guide
?With seating for up to five, the Elantra?s looks and fuel efficiency ? it?s rated at 40 mpg on the highway ? make it a compelling entrant in the segment.? ? Cars.com
?Howlin? enthusiasts might want a more sporty Mazda 3 or a Civic, but the majority of buyers in this segment aren?t enthusiasts. For them, Hyundai has offered a solid option to consider in the class, loaded with available features such as a seven-inch navigation screen, 360-watt premium audio and proximity entry key.? ? AutoWeek
?You won?t mistake the Elantra for a Volkswagen GTI or a BMW 3-series from behind the wheel, but as a practical commuter, there?s not much to complain about. And that?s what this type of car is about ? comfortable, economical, and practical. Right now, it?s without question at the top of its class, and until the next Ford Focus goes on sale, we have no doubt that it?ll remain there.? ? Automobile Magazine

Legislation to ban burqa is liberal overkill, researchers claim

Banning and criminalising the Muslim face veil tests the very foundations of modern liberal society, warn researchers from Queen Mary, University of London and the University of Sussex.

The paper 'Reasons to Ban? The Anti-Burqa Movement in Western Europe' examines the move to legislate against, and to criminalise face-veiling which has swept across the EU recently.

The European movement against face-veiling is now widespread, with calls to implement a ban, or a ban being in place, in France, Belgium, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, Scandinavia, and Germany.

This move from country to country makes it seem like a form of "political Swine Flu", suggests the paper's authors, Prakash Shah, Senior Lecturer at the School of Law, QM and Ralph Grillo, Emeritus Professor of Social Anthropology at Sussex.

Face-veiling is capable of multiple interpretations, by those who wear it and those who do not, both Muslim and non-Muslim. Dr Shah explains: "While some claim that face-veiling is a customary rather than religious practice, others condemn it as an instance of 'quintessential radical Islam' a Western extreme interpretation of Islam and Muslim practice."

The current rush to legislate, the academics note, is set in the context of a 'backlash' against multiculturalism that has been developing across Europe. In France and other countries, security, identification and order have been central to legislative debates since the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

Despite less than one per cent of Muslim women wearing the burqa or niqab in the West, critics also argue that the veil impedes societal integration and breeds 'dangers inherent in self-enclosed communities'. It is seen as a symbol of the failure of the Muslim women who wear the veil to visibly declare their loyalty to the nation-state where they reside.

In Britain, and other countries too, multicultural 'diversity' is officially welcomed, but not when interpreted as 'difference'. "Difference", explains Dr Shah, "is identified as beliefs and practices which contravene principles of liberal democracy that underpin governance in much of Europe."

Dr Shah says: "What was previously thought tolerable has now become unacceptable, and moreover, subject to the law. The legislation which has criminalised face-veiling has clearly originated with the belief, that face-veiling does not fit with European society, culture and values, and has all manner of disagreeable if not downright dangerous implications, especially for women."

Face-veiling signifies an unwelcome racial or cultural presence, making it impossible for Muslims to be treated as 'European' unless they adopt 'European' sartorial practice.

"Face-veiling is one of those issues, like public prayers or arranged marriages, affected by a 'repressive' liberalism of the kind advocated by numerous European leaders, including Angela Merkel, Nicolas Sarkozy and David Cameron, often with racist undertones.

"The educative role of law is brought to bear upon ethnic and religious minorities in an effort to instruct, by force if necessary, the values of liberalism," warns Professor Grillo.

It is also clear that many opponents sincerely believe that whether a religious or cultural symbol, face veiling is a non-liberal practice that penalises and subordinates women.

If women claim that they are not coerced into face-veiling but do so because it accords with their faith, then it is countered by saying, they have been 'brainwashed', notes the research.

"Freeing women from what is believed to be their submission to a patriarchal society, overrides their freedom to choose and express their religious beliefs. Anti-face-veiling discourse operates like a closed system, impervious to argument," says Professor Grillo.

Criminalisation, the researchers argue, should always be a last resort, not least when it may harm those it is supposed to assist, for example, forcing women who voluntarily adopt the face-veil to disappear from public life.

"Legislators have sought to impose a particular narrative of the face-veil, and it is unfortunate that they have taken it upon themselves to declare a position strongly against face-veiling based on a number of narrow grounds. Leaning on the law stifles what might otherwise be a 'natural' dialogue among Muslims and non-Muslims, about the veil's significance and future in Europe," Dr Shah concludes.

Natural sinks still sopping up carbon

Ecosystems haven?t maxed out ability to absorb fossil fuel emissions

Web edition : 6:15 pm

BOULDER, Colo. ? Earth?s ecosystems keep soaking up more carbon as greenhouse gases accumulate in the atmosphere, new measurements find.

The research contradicts several recent studies suggesting that ?carbon sinks? have reached or passed their capacity. By looking at global measurements of atmospheric carbon dioxide, the new work calculates instead that total sinks have increased roughly in line with rising emissions.

?The sinks have been more than able to keep up with emissions,? said Pieter Tans, an atmospheric scientist at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration?s Earth System Research Laboratory in Boulder, Colo. Tans presented the findings May 15 at an annual conference on global monitoring hosted by the lab.

Careful measurements of atmospheric carbon dioxide taken in the rarefied air atop Mauna Loa, Hawaii, and elsewhere have established that levels of the gas are rising steadily, from 316 parts per million in 1959 to 392 parts per million today. The question is how Earth?s great ecosystems respond to that increase. Forests can suck down carbon dioxide through photosynthesis, whereas oceans take it up proportionally as levels rise in the air.

Previous work has relied on carbon inventories that gather data from multiple sources to try to estimate how much is being put into the atmosphere and how much is being taken out every year. For the new study, Tans and his colleagues went back to basics, choosing 42 marine sites where carbon dioxide levels have been measured for decades.

The researchers then analyzed how much carbon dioxide was in the atmosphere above each of these sites over time. ?Less carbon dioxide has remained in the atmosphere, relative to the amount of fossil fuel emissions, today compared to 50 years ago,? Tans said. Even including the effects of land use change, which may alter carbon sinks, produced no measurable trend, he added.

Exactly where the sinks are isn?t clear. One possibility is that forests are regrowing in parts of the world more than scientists had thought, sucking up carbon in the process. Or the oceans may be taking up significantly more carbon than researchers had estimated.

Ralph Keeling, an atmospheric scientist at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography in San Diego, agrees that both land and the oceans aren?t yet done absorbing all the carbon they can. ?The land is responding in a big way? to increasing fossil fuel emissions, he says.

Both Keeling and Tans warn that society shouldn?t get complacent just because carbon is still being absorbed. Rising levels of atmospheric greenhouse gases are triggering other planet-wide changes, such as alterations to the oceans? chemistry. ?The situation is bad enough,? Keeling says, ?even with the sinks hanging in there.?

LeAnn Rimes Fears Brandi Glanville Might KILL Her

LeAnn Rimes' uneasy relationship with Brandi Glanville has been well established, but new reports have shed light on just how uneasy things once were.

Glanville, now a star of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, made other threats so serious that Rimes seriously considered getting a restraining order.

Rimes, now married to Glanville’s ex-husband Eddie Cibrian, began an affair with Eddie while he and Brandi were married. This did not go over well.

“Brandi has told LeAnn to her face multiple times that she would kill her if she could,” a source close told Celebuzz of the bad blood that boiled.

Should LeAnn be scared for her safety? Even now?

“LeAnn is scared of Brandi and believes she is unstable. LeAnn’s own mother is concerned for her daughter’s safety too and regularly calls her to tell her so.”

In an interview with Australia’s NW magazine, Brandi Glanville recalled how she flew into a rage the first time she saw Rimes at her son’s soccer game.

“I remember walking up to practice and there she was with my baby in her lap,” Brandi said. “My blood was boiling, and I thought I was going to kill her."

"I really thought I was going to physically hurt her."

“But that was the first time I saw her that way – she was sitting in my soccer chair, under my tent, she’s got my kid on her lap and she’s there with my husband, and that was that little moment of total irrational fury.”

Despite taking to Twitter Monday to declare “the articles online are incorrect,” Brandi has gone public about the brash, murderous feelings before.

Fuelling Rimes’ fears, in an interview with Mix XM’s Hot Moms Club Radio on April 28 2011, Glanville admitted, “The first time I saw my baby sitting in her (LeAnn’s) lap, I wanted to kill her… I wanted to murder her.”

Well ... at least Glanville's honest and doesn't own any firearms. Probably.

She also slashed Eddie Cibrian's tires at one point, then admitted it. Glanville was married to Cibrian for eight years before they split in 2009.

HTC Desire C spotted enjoying the Portuguese sun

Vodafone Portugal was so excited to hear about HTC's Desire C that it added it to the company's summer brochure -- despite it not being officially announced. The catalog reveals that the low-end handset will arrive with a 3.5-inch, 320 x 480 display, a 600MHz processor and a 5-megapixel camera. It'll run on the country's 3.5G network (HSDPA to you and me) and you'll find Ice Cream Sandwich sharing the room on that 4GB of on-board storage. It's also reported to have a 1,320mAh battery and will retail for €200 ($260) once it's finished enjoying the Iberian weather.

HTC Desire C spotted enjoying the Portuguese sun originally appeared on Engadget on Mon, 14 May 2012 06:12:00 EDT. Please see our terms for use of feeds.
