Apples: Care for a juicy, crispy bite of nourishment?

As we come into the Autumn, we are reminded this is “Apple Season”! Apples are known to be delicious, juicy, crispy  additions to our daily diet.  Did you know there really IS truth to the old adage "An apple a day keeps the doctor away"? 

Consuming apples is very beneficial for us. They provide us with soluble and insoluble fiber. The soluble fiber helps to lower cholesterol and lessen the risk of strokes and heart disease. Pectin (a soluble fiber) reduces the amount of cholesterol the liver produces and slows digestion. It also slows the rise of blood sugar, which makes the apples a staple for a diabetic diet. (The pectin in apples supplies galacturonic acid to the body which lowers the body's need for insulin and may help in the management of diabetes.)  Because of their insoluble fiber, they are filling and are a great appetite suppresser. The insoluble fiber also helps constipation, prevents diverticulitis and helps the digestive track run well.

Although the flesh of an apple is most enjoyed, the skin is the most nutritious part of this wonderful fruit. It contains quercetin. This is an anti-oxidant compound that prevents oxygen molecules from damaging individual cells. It’s been shown to inhibit growth of tumors and help cancer from spreading.  Quercetin in apples also may protect brain cells from the kind of free radical damage that may lead to Alzheimer's disease.

Along with the wide varieties of apples come their varieties of uses.  Ever wonder which type of apple is best to use in a pie, for apple sauce, jelly or for just plain eating?  Read on...

Good Grief?

Grief is an emotion we experience at one time or another. The stages of grief are the same no matter what the cause: death, divorce, or loss of a friend, job, pet, a golden dream, health, financial stability or experiencing a miscarriage, to name a few. Not everyone goes through the grief process in the same way or at the same pace. It is a process that takes time;  it cannot be rushed through or forced onto someone.  However, it is an essential, important process if one wishes to heal and get past their grief.

Elisabeth Kubler – Ross, a psychiatrist, introduced her “Five Stages of Grief” in 1969. Although it is said they do not have to progress in any special order, there is argument that they all must be present to achieve healing. However, it is agreed they do, at least in part, need to occur.

Five Stages of Grief:
1. Denial – “This isn’t happening to me!”
2. Anger – “Why is this happening to me?”
3. Bargaining – “I promise I’ll be a better person if…”
4. Depression – “I don’t care anymore.”
5. Acceptance – “I am ready for whatever comes.”

If you are experiencing any of these emotions following a loss, it may be of help to know your reaction is natural and in time, you will heal.


Quotes:


“Three things are fundamental to an understanding of mourning. First, each loss launches us on an inescapable course through grief. Second, each loss revives all past losses. Third, each loss, if fully mourned, can be a vehicle for growth and regeneration.” ~ Vamik D. Voklan, MD

“Suppressed grief suffocates, it rages within the beast, and is forced to multiply its strength.” ~ Ovid

“To spare oneself from grief at all cost can be achieved only at the price of total detachment, which excludes the ability to experience happiness.” ~ Erich Fromm

“He that conceals his grief finds no remedy for it.” ~ Turkish Proverb

7 Reasons to Eat More Eggs

Eggs pack a lot of nutrition, are low in calories, and don't have as much cholesterol as previously thought. Let's take a fresh look at the egg.

By Kristen Stewart

Who doesn’t love eggs? Whether scrambled, hard-boiled, poached, or folded into an omelet, eggs are versatile and tasty. Even better, eggs are a powerhouse of nutrition in a healthy diet and a great low-calorie addition to a weight-loss diet. With only 15 calories each, hard-boiled egg whites, for instance, can help you stick to your diet — the protein in them helps you feel full and being low in calories make them a great snack.

The Egg: Diet Facts:

It’s time to get reacquainted with the egg, a great food whether you’re on a diet or just looking to manage your weight.

1. The egg is a low-calorie powerhouse. “The egg is a great source of nutrition and especially brain food,” says Susan B. Roberts, PhD, author of The Instinct Diet and professor of nutrition at the USDA Nutrition Center at Tufts University in Boston. “With only 80 calories per large egg and a useful 6 grams of protein, it can be scrambled or even fried with just a dab of butter and still come in at under 100 calories.”

2. Eggs have vitamins and other nutrients. Besides providing protein (making you feel full longer), an egg supplies many essential nutrients including vitamin A, the B vitamins B-12, riboflavin, and folacin, and the minerals iron, phosphorus, and zinc, along with choline and DHA, essential nutrients for brain health.

3. The egg has less cholesterol than we thought. It turns out early tests measured falsely high for the amount of cholesterol in an egg, unfairly giving it a bad rap. According to recent research from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, one large egg has 213 milligrams of cholesterol. Testing is also under way in the egg industry to see if that amount can be further reduced.

4. Egg whites can be part of your daily menu. It’s best to eat no more than three or four whole eggs per week, but egg whites have only 15 calories per egg, no cholesterol, and no saturated fat, so dieters can eat as many as they want. Not only that, egg whites taste better than store-bought egg substitutes.

5. Eggs make a great weekend breakfast. “One great role eggs can play is in making weekend food seem special without overdosing on calories,” says Dr. Roberts. “For example, scrambled eggs and whole-wheat toast or a fried egg and Canadian bacon on Sunday morning can become a special weekend breakfast without adding anything to calories beyond a regular weekday cereal meal.”

6. Eggs are an inexpensive protein source. Eggs are economical, especially when compared to steak or even a hamburger.

7. Eggs aren’t only for breakfast. “Think like the French and don’t dismiss eggs as a great dinner food,” says Roberts. “It takes a mere couple of minutes to whip up an omelet, so you can keep eggs in the fridge for quick dinners when you get home and are too tired to cook or go out. A two-egg omelet with a slice of whole-wheat toast and an apple or orange is a great weight control meal.”

Now that the egg has been cleared of any wrongdoing, think of it next time for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or even a quick healthy snack.

Long Distance Grandparenting

We live in a transient society today. It is not uncommon for family members to move away from one another. Whatever the reason, grandparents find they are separated from their children and grandchildren more and more. This does not mean they are separated in heart! Grandparenting “over the miles” is affordable, delightful and probably the most satisfying way to continue a relationship with your loved ones!

For starters, engaging your children in this process is essential. They can keep you up on the stages your grandchildren are going through, what their interests are, what gifts are appropriate, and what the rules of the house are. When the child is old enough to interact, start engaging the child directly. For example, talk on the telephone, send pictures, cards or letters. This is the foundation for starting a long-term, solid relationship with your grandchild, no matter what their age. It's up to the grandparent to start the ball rolling!


Let’s expand on this long distance communication. Mailing items to your young grandchildren is a learning experience. Before they read, they can recognize their name on the envelope and will love the feeling of importance implied by receiving mail. When mailing letters with pictures, one can tell a story about the picture. (Remember, you are also a family historian and can relay stories that will inform the child of their roots: family ancestry, background, professions, locations, heritage and family tree.) Send a return addressed envelope and encourage them to draw a picture for you and/or write a letter. Send books, explain why you like the book or mention you know why they would like it. Even recording the story in your own voice while they can follow along in the book would be wonderful!


When you are talking to grandchildren on the phone, make notes about what they are saying as they mention their favorites and interests: colors, games, books, TV shows, friends, sports, movies, songs, artists, pet’s names, doll’s name, etc. In your next conversation, you can ask about the specific things they spoke about.


Children respond positively to the special attention and care because this communicates your interest and love. This allows you to know them better and better yet, it deepens your bond with each other. As much as it is healthy and fulfilling for the child, it is equally healthy and fulfilling for the grandparent!


Quotes:
"Grandparents are a family's greatest treasure, the founders of a loving legacy, the greatest storytellers, the keepers of traditions that linger on in cherished memory. Grandparents are the family's strong foundation. Their very special love sets them apart. Through happiness and sorrow, through their special love and caring, grandparents keep a family close at heart.: ~ Author Unknown


"I love this child. Red-haired—patient and gentle like her mother—fey and funny like her father. When she giggles I can hear him when he and I were young. I am part of this child. It may be only because we share genes and that therefore smell familiar to each other. . . . It may be that a part of me lives in her in some important way. . . . But for now, it’s jelly beans and “Old MacDonald” that unite us." ~Robert Fulghum

Characteristics of a Healthy Relationship

Relationships, whether they are with a spouse, parent, child, sibling, co-worker, friend or relative, have simular important components. There must be honest, respectable communication, loyal commitment, solid trust and whole hearted love for a healthy relationship to survive.


Communication:
This characteristic is very important and one that is apparent in a healthy relationship. It consists of thoughtful listening, understanding, asking questions, non verbal (a touch, look, etc.) taking time to find out all the details of what's going on and all things that have to do with getting your message across and receiving messages. Without this communication, the relationship is just pretend. Your actions must support your words. Otherwise there is no point to the relationship. If you say "I love you", but you don't show actions of love towards that person, the words are hollow. Honesty and accountability of your words and actions is essential. Respecting the opinions, fears, needs, hopes, desires, and concerns of one another allows the communication to continue. Each person needs to feel they are not being berated or that their words and needs are not important when expressing themselves. The negative actions bring a halt to communication.

Commitment:
This is being there, no matter what - no matter the status of money, health, jobs, physical looks or perfections. Each person in the relationship has the job of helping the other become their best, supporting each other through the thick and thin. Without commitment, this support will not be reached.

Trust: This is an action of love. However, love cannot be reached without a solid trust in place. When you love someone, you trust them with the little and big things; ALL things. Continuing to give trust enables trust to come back to you from the receiver. The foundation of a relationship is built on trust.

Love: This most important characteristic of a healthy relationship is the result from having a solid foundation of communication, commitment and trust in a relationship. Once this foundation is set, only then can a relationship thrive.

Quotes:
“A loving relationship is one in which the loved one is free to be himself -- to laugh with me, but never at me; to cry with me, but never because of me; to love life, to love himself, to love being loved. Such a relationship is based upon freedom and can never grow in a jealous heart.”  ~  Leo F. Buscaglia

“Some of the biggest challenges in relationships come from the fact that most people enter a relationship in order to get something: they're trying to find someone who's going to make them feel good. In reality, the only way a relationship will last is if you see your relationship as a place that you go to give, and not a place that you go to take.”  ~ Anthony Robbins

First Day of Autumn - September 22, 2010 at 11:09 pm EDT

Autumn Begins with the September Equinox

The September Equinox

On the equinox, the sun rises directly in the east and sets directly in the west. This is true for both the fall and spring equinoxes. So on two days of the year you can find the exact cardinal directions of East and West by using the sun. The ancients did this when they set up their calendars at Stonehenge and the Mayan pyramid, among others.

The autumnal equinox for the northern hemisphere is the vernal equinox for the southern hemisphere. Another way to say this is that when fall begins for the northern hemisphere, spring begins for the southern hemisphere. Keeping this in mind can help you remember why we have seasons. If part of the globe has opposite seasons than the other half, then the reasons for the seasons is NOT because of how close or far away we are from the sun. The reason is related to the tilt of the Earth on its axis.

As the north pole begins to tilt away from the sun, cooler weather comes to the northern hemisphere because the sun is no longer giving its direct rays to this part of Earth. In winter when the north pole is tilted its farthest away from the sun, we have the least amount of daylight hours and the coldest weather. You can even notice the angle of the sun and how it never gets as high above the horizon.

Equal Day and Night?

Although it seems logical that equinox would refer to day and night being equal on these two days of the year, this is not the case. In the Northern Hemisphere on the fall equinox, daylight hours will still be longer than nighttime by about seven to 10 minutes. A couple days after the equinox, day and night are finally equal. You can check for the exact date where you are by looking up sunrise and sunset times. For example, in Washington D.C. the sun rises at 6:59 am and sets at 6:59 pm on September 26. The reason the equality in day and night does not occur on the equinox has to do with the sunrise and sunset being measured by the edges of the sun and not the geometric center and the diffraction of light as it passes through Earth's atmosphere.

Balancing an Egg?

An old wives' tale says that on the equinoxes, when the Earth is "balanced" and all things are equal, it is possible to balance an egg on one end. The truth is that it is possible to balance an egg on its end any day of the year, provided you have a steady hand.

Golf Truisms

The following is not intended to offend fans of tennis, basketball, football or baseball. It is, rather, an attempt to put everything in it's proper perspective.

Ever wonder why golf is growing in popularity and why people who don't even play go to tournaments or watch it on TV?

The following truisms may shed some light:

• Golf is an honorable game, with the overwhelming majority of players being honorable people who don't need referees.
• Golfers don't have some of their players in jail every week.
• Golfers don't kick dirt on, or throw bottles at, other people.
• Professional golfers are paid in direct proportion to how well they play.
• Golfers don't get per diem and two seats on a charter flight when they travel between tournaments.
• Golfers don't hold out for more money, or demand new contracts, because of another player's deal.
• Professional golfers don't demand that the taxpayers pay for the courses on which they play.
• When golfers make a mistake, nobody is there to cover for them or back them.
• The PGA raises more money for charity in 1 year than the NFL does in 2.
• You can watch the best golfers in the world up close, at any tournament, including the majors, all day every day for $25 or $30.
• Even in the nose bleed section a ticket to the Super Bowl will cost you over $300 - or $1,000 from a scalper!
• You can bring a picnic lunch to the tournament golf course, watch the best in the world and not spend a small fortune on food and drink.
• Try that at one of the taxpayer funded baseball or football stadiums. If you bring a soft drink into a ballpark, they'll give you two options - get rid of it or leave.
• In golf you cannot fail 70% of the time and make $9 million a season, like the best baseball hitters (.300 batting average) do.
• Golf doesn't change its rules to attract fans. Golfers have to adapt to an entirely new playing area each week.
• Golf doesn't have free agency. In their prime, Palmer, Norman, and other stars, would shake your hand and say they were happy to meet you. In his prime Jose Canseco wore T-shirts that read "Leave Me Alone."
• You can hear birds chirping on the golf course during a tournament.
• At a golf tournament, (unlike at taxpayer-funded sports stadiums and arenas) you won't hear a steady stream of four letter words and nasty name calling while you're hoping that no one spills beer on you.
• Tiger hits a golf ball over twice as far as Barry Bonds hits a baseball.
• Golf courses don't ruin the neighborhood.

And Finally:
Here's a little slice of golf history that you might enjoy. Why do golf courses have 18 holes - not 20, or 10, or an even dozen?

During a discussion among the club's membership board at St. Andrews in 1858, a senior member pointed out that it takes exactly 18 shots to polish off a fifth of Scotch. By limiting himself to only one shot of Scotch per hole, the Scot figured a round of golf was finished when the Scotch ran out.

Biggest Wedding GUEST Mistakes, and How to Save Face

Even the most experienced wedding guest sometimes makes a wedding etiquette faux pas. Here's how to make amends after a wedding-related misstep. ~ By Kate Wood

Being invited to a wedding is fun, but it can also be a minefield of unfamiliar etiquette. How do registries work? What's okay to ask the bride? It's all too easy to make a mistake — and in real life, there's no "undo" button you can push to fix everything. You can, however, take some simple steps to make amends and keep your relationship with the bride and groom pleasant.

The Mistake: It's a week before the wedding, and you haven't RSVP'd.
Damage Control: Pop that card in the mail, but remember, it's called "snail mail" for a reason. Call or email the bride and groom as soon as possible to let them know you're sorry you forgot to RSVP and confirm whether or not you'll be coming. While they've probably been counting you in, it will be a relief to know for certain.
Future Fix: When you receive a wedding invitation, send in your RSVP ASAP. Even if the response deadline is weeks (or even months) away, it's better to be on the list early than to be a source of last-minute drama.

The Mistake: You sent an RSVP saying you'll be coming, but now you won't be able to make it.
Damage Control: Call or email the bride and groom right away to let them know. It's absolutely okay to back out of a wedding — you just need to tell the couple so they know exactly how many guests to expect. Let them know you are sorry for the change of plans, and be sure to still send a gift.
Future Fix: It's hard to plan for events that aren't your choice (like coming down with the flu), so this isn't a problem you can always avoid. If you think you will be able to attend a wedding, it's better to RSVP yes. Etiquette-wise, it's okay to go from a "yes" to a "no," but you shouldn't switch from a "no" to a "yes."

The Mistake:  You forgot to get a gift until the week of the wedding, and now there's nothing left on the registry.
Damage Control:  First, double-check — is there really nothing left? It's not uncommon to find gifts guests avoid but that the bride and groom really want (for example, the old superstition that it's unlucky to give knives). Another option is to choose a gift that will coordinate with items on their registry (for example, table linens that match a color in their china pattern). Even easier: Give them a gift card to one of their registry stores.
Future Fix: Hit the stores (or the web) early so you can give the gift you want. If you don't want to store a present in your home for months, remember it's not against wedding etiquette to have the gift shipped to the bride and groom before the big day.

The Mistake: You're late to the ceremony.
Damage Control: When you arrive at the ceremony site, keep it quiet. There may be an usher or someone from the site there to guide you in. If not, head in discreetly through a back door. Don't make a fuss about where to sit; if you're a guest of the groom but there are only spaces on the bride's side, just take one of those. Either way, find a seat promptly and quietly so you don't disturb the ceremony.
Future Fix: Even if you swear you've never been to a wedding that started on time, it's rude to assume you can roll up late. While the reception can be the high point of the wedding for guests, you've really been invited there to witness the ceremony. Give yourself ample time for tangling with traffic and parking when you're planning your wedding day timeline.

The Mistake: You got them a gift for the shower, so you didn't bother with a wedding present.
Damage Control: In theory, you have up to a year after the wedding to send a gift, but go ahead and send something as soon as you can. It doesn't have to be huge, especially if you blew your gift budget for the shower. It's a lot of gifts, but etiquette says you should give a gift for each party invitation you receive.
Future Fix: Plan your gift budget around this rule. For example, if you have $100 to spend total, budget $25 for the shower gift and $75 for the wedding present. That way, you aren't overspending, keeping your bottom line — as well as the bride and groom — happy.

E Is for Fail

How come schools assign grades of A, B, C, D, and F—but not E?   ~  By Brian Palmer

     The school board in Mount Olive, N.J., will get rid of the D grade starting this fall, in an effort to raise the standards for graduation. From now on, any student whose average grade falls below a 70 will simply fail. How did we end up with an A-B-C-D-F grading system, anyway? Did schools ever assign a grade of E?
     Yes. The earliest record of a letter-grade system comes from Mount Holyoke College in Massachusetts in 1897. (There is a passing reference in the Harvard archives to a student receiving a B grade in 1883, but no evidence of a complete A-through-F system.) The lowest grade at Mount Holyoke was an E, which represented failure. The rest of the scale was a bit irregular, with A representing scores between 95 and 100, while B and C each stood for 10-point ranges. Students could get a D only with a score of precisely 75, with anything below that receiving the dreaded E. One year later, administrators changed the failing grade to F and tweaked the other letters. The new scale offered better symmetry, since each grade represented five points, with scores below 75 resulting in failure. (The E was promoted to cover scores from 75 to 79.) Over the next two decades, variations on the letter-grade system spread across the country and into primary and secondary schools. It's hard to put a date on the end of the E, but it was gone from most colleges by 1930. Apparently, some professors worried that students would think the grade stood for "excellent," since F stood for "failure." That said, there's no evidence of similar concerns over, say, B—which might just as well stand for "brilliant" as "bungled."
     Grading of any sort is a relatively modern innovation. Yale may have been the first university in the United States to issue grades, with students in 1785 receiving the Latin equivalents of best, worse, and worst. Prior to that time, U.S. colleges employed the Oxford and Cambridge model, in which students attended regular lectures and engaged in a weekly colloquy with their proctor, in writing and in person. The students were determined to have completed the course when the proctor, and sometimes a panel of other professors, decided they had demonstrated an adequate mastery of the subject. There was no grade. The only way for a potential employer to compare students' credentials was on the basis of letters of recommendation.
     During the 19th century, universities tried all sorts of different systems. Yale moved between four- and nine-point numerical scales. Harvard tinkered with 20- and 100-point scales before the faculty decided the best it could do was divide students into five "classes," with the lowest class failing the course. William and Mary used four groupings and assigned descriptors to guide faculty in classifying students, using phrases like "orderly, correct, and attentive" for one group and "they have learnt little or nothing" for another. The idea of grading, in some fashion, quickly spread outside of U.S. schools. There is some indication that Herbert Mumford, the Illinois professor who proposed a grading system for beef in 1902, took his inspiration from the educators.
     It's no coincidence that a single system was in place by the early 20th century. Schools at the time were bursting at the seams, given the sudden increases in immigration and the rise of compulsory attendance laws. Teachers and administrators needed an efficient, standardized system for testing and evaluating large numbers of students. (Another marvel of school efficiency, the multiple-choice exam, was invented at the beginning of the century, as well.)

Signs and Symptoms of High or Low Blood Pressure

High blood pressure:
     This is a disorder that affects most of the people and is also called a silent killer. This article provides you with the 9 common signs and symptoms of high blood pressure so that you can take the necessary steps in preventing this disorder and maintaining a sound health.

Normal blood pressure of a fit person is 120/80. If this reading goes above 140/90, then you should consider yourself as a hypertensive patient. Between 120 and 140 is a pre hypertensive stage which can be controlled even by natural measures like exercise, low intake of salt, avoidance of smoking, maintaining lower levels of cholesterol and by consuming fresh fruits and vegetables.

But how will you come to know that you suffer from blood pressure?
High blood pressure typically has no symptoms at all, that is why we can call it as Silent killer. Although there are many symptoms that occur simultaneously with this disorder and are widely believed to be associated with high blood pressure. These include headaches, nosebleeds, dizziness, a flushed face and fatigue. Although people with high blood pressure may have many of these symptoms, they occur just as frequently in those with normal blood pressure. When these symptoms occur, if a person has high blood pressure that is severe or longstanding and left untreated, symptoms such as headache, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, shortness of breath, restlessness, and blurred vision can occur as a result of damage to the brain, eyes, heart and kidneys. In rare cases, high blood pressure may cause brain swelling, which can lead to drowsiness and coma.

Following are the common symptoms of high blood pressure:
~ Breathlessness
~ Headache
~ Bleeding from the nose (Epistaxis)
~ Fatigue and Sleepiness
~ Confusion
~ Tinnitus or ringing in the ears
~ Vomiting
~ Profuse sweating
~ Blurred vision

If you do not have the above symptoms, it does not mean that you have no high blood pressure at all. Remember that the most common symptom of high Blood pressure is that “It Has No Symptom". The best way to maintain your health and prevent this disorder is to have your blood pressure checked at frequent intervals.

~ by Mehul Banker

Low Blood Pressure:
     Unlike high blood pressure symptoms, low blood pressure has several classic, easily recognized symptoms. The development of symptoms is considered an indicator that a patient should be evaluated to discover the cause of the low blood pressure and to rule out any underlying problems. Generally, blood pressure must fall to a fairly low value before symptoms develop.

Clincally, the value most often associated with the development of symptoms is 90/60, though this varies from person to person. Situations where the blood pressure drops rapidly, rather than exists chronically at a low level, do not require the blood pressure to drop to 90/60 before symptoms develop. Instead, changes of about 20mmHg from baseline blood pressure have been shown to cause classic low blood pressure symptoms.

Classic symptoms of low blood pressure include: 
 ~ Dizziness, or feeling like you’re standing on a rocking boat
 ~ Fainting
 ~ Changes in mental status (difficulty concentrating, confusion) or a sense of "impending doom" or anxiety
 ~ Changes in breathing patterns (fast, shallow breathing is common during an episode of low blood pressure)
 ~ Nausea
 ~ Suddenly feeling cold or clammy, or a rapid onset of pale skin

While all of these symptoms indicate that a visit to the doctor is needed, fainting or ongoing dizziness are especially alarming and warrant an immediate visit to either your own doctor or to the emergency room. If you experience fainting along with nausea, chest pain, or any type of weakness/numbness in your body, you should call 911 immediately. These symptoms may be indicators of stroke, heart attack, or dangerous problems with the nervous system.

Helpful Home Selling Ideas

As we prepare a home to go up for sale, there are certain things we can do that make BIG differences in obtaining a buyer:

~  Pricing -  Find out what the home is worth.  In today's market, buyers are looking for a good value for their money.  You will benefit from pricing the home reasonably.

~  Light - Showing a well lit home makes it look large and spacious.  Clean drapes or take them down, clean windows and lampshades, increase the wattage in the light bulbs and trim trees and shrubs outside to allow more light in.

~  Closets - By emptying your closets to half full, you show there is ample space.  Storage is a major concern for buyers.  To see a closet half empty and organized gives the impression of more storage room.

~  Remove Personal Belongings - Give the buyer the benefit of imagining their own items in the home by taking your items out.  Take down family pictures, plaques with sayings and knick knacks.

~  Pets - Not all buyers are pet lovers.   Discreetly hide the food and water bowls, litter boxes and clean pet fur off of everything.  Get rid of pet smells or pet stains on carpeting or flooring.  If you have an Open House planned, take your pets out of the house for the day.

~  Kitchen - This is the most important room and one that can make or break a potential sale.  Neutral colored walls help give a blank canvas to the buyer, to put their own colors in the room.  Take away counter clutter.  Buy one high end appliance to give the effect that everything is high end.

~  Updating - A complete makeover on your home is not necessary.  Little subtle changes go a long way.  Fix leaky faucets, change or clean drapes, clean grout, paint, replace cabinet hardware.

~  Show Ready - Have your home always ready to show.  Keep it tidy, clean and uncluttered.

~  First Impression:  Outside - As one is looking at your home the moment they pull in front of it, this is the first impression that cannot be repeated.  Many times, the buyer has already made an opinion of the home before opening the front door.  Spruce up the shrubs, put out colorful flowers, sweep walkways, clean the exterior of the home and clean the driveway.
