Many apartments for rent available are in our city. The standard rent may vary from $400 per month up to $1500 for a luxury suite. This price is for a one-bedroom-apartment with a fully fitted kitchen and a full bathroom. Usually you have to put a security/damage deposit in as well. Such a deposit normally is equal to half a month rental price. In some cases utilities are included in the price, and in other they are not. If paid separately utility costs vary depending on usage.One of my sisters was very fortunate to find a nice apartment for rent in a very quiet building for only $550 per month...

When is the best time to seed?Spring and late summer are the two best times to seed your lawn. Newly seeded lawns require wet, cool conditions in order to be successful. These conditions occur in April and May and then again in late August and early September. Of the two, late summer, early fall is better to seed. By planting at this time the seed is able to take advantage of the wet, cool weather, lie dormant over winter and then take advantage of more moist cool weather in the spring. By doing this the turf grass will be well on its way to creating a healthy, strong root system more able to withstand the heat and dryness of summer. If you seed during the summer months, your newly planted turf will...

I remember my Sicilian father tending to his garden, a beer can poised in a flower bed, a cigarette hanging out of his mouth. He would grow several kinds of tomatoes, zucchini the size of baseball bats, and the most perfectly shaped green peppers. Our front lawn was always impeccable. He would turn over the ground, deposit a coating of snow-white lime atop the Kentucky blue grass seed, and rope off the entire area with string, sticks, and rags, to deter any intruders. It offended him greatly when squirrels would steal his nearly ripe peppers, because they never ate them, they just batted them about the way a cat would a ball of yarn...

Many people envy academics who take sabbaticals. What they don't realize is that sabbaticals are not designed as time on the beach. You are supposed to use your free time to accomplish specific projects. Often you are not allowed to embark on a sabbatical if your plans seem vague or unproductive.(1) Have a plan that includes fun.How do you want to play? Did you always want to spend a year at the movies, take a ceramics class, write nonstop all morning, or begin each day with a blank slate?If this idea is totally new, even scary, you may want to practice on weekends. You may need to identify what you really want to do before you start. A coach can help.(2) Get creative.I recommend two types...

Louisville realtors, investors and debtors facing foreclosure ask me from time to time how short sales work. Consider this a primer.I recently brokered the sale of a house for $85,000 to an investor. The house appraised for $120,000, giving the investor substantial immediate equity. The lender took a $60,000 loss. The owner/seller was forced to sell his house, for which he received not one red cent, and had to move into rental. How is it that all parties walked away from the closing table satisfied?!In the beginning... When a home owner owes his lender more than he has borrowed, he's said to be "upside down on his mortgage". This can come about in many ways, the principal amongst them occurring...

You can get all the nutrition from your supermarket (or from the infamous four food groups). If you believe this, you are a candidate to buy a piece of the Brooklyn Bridge.First, let's destroy that myth of the "four food groups". If that were indeed true, a meal at Burger King would be "nutritious". No serious observer believes this - but it has all 4 food groups. Would you believe that this absurd FFF (four food fictions) is STILL being taught in medical schools and nutritionist courses in all too many colleges? (Nutritionists are those wonderful people who give you those "delicious" meals in schools, prisons, and hospitals.) Need I say more about this?Next, why can't we just eat healthy...

Cheerleading, once a rather tame activity composed mostly of pompoms and megaphones, has taken an about face in America over the last few decades. Today, cheerleaders use gymnastic moves and athletic ability to flip, somersault and even catapult one another into the air, with stunts that can rival the excitement of any football or basketball game. In fact, "[Cheerleading has] evolved from a school-spirit activity into an activity demanding high levels of gymnastics skill and athleticism," according to a study in the journal Pediatrics. It has also become much more dangerous, with the increasingly complex moves putting cheerleaders at risk of potentially serious head, neck and other injuries...
