Hendersonville TN Real Estate may become more valuable

The Hendersonville TN Real Estate market may soon get a real boost with a new marina development project. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is currently considering plans for a new marina to be built near Douglas Bend Road, which is between Gallatin and Hendersonville Tennessee.

The new marina would be part of the Foxland at Fairvue community. It will feature a floating restaurant and 205 boat slips. The plan would also include a boardwalk on the water’s edge and swimming pool.

The Gallatin Municipal-Regional Planning Commission on the first reading approved the project. Further project enhancements may also include almost 100 town homes and 300 lakefront condominiums as part of this development.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers have accepted bids for several new marinas at potential sites across Old Hickory Lake. Most local marinas are near full capacity and some have waiting lists for boat slips. Preliminary bid selections will be made this month with final selections made by February 2009.

The possible addition of the new marina is considered an obvious economic boom to Sumner County and Hendersonville/Gallatin in particular. It will be interesting to see the growth of Hendersonville TN Real Estate since the lake is the areas main attraction.

What to do? Mother’s Day is just around the corner and there’s
just no money in the budget for gifts. Not to worry! Just look
over this list of inexpensive gifts to buy or make and you’ll be
all set. These budget ideas with a lot of heart can mean more
than 2 dozen red roses to a mom!

1. Bring your mom a bouquet of flowers from your own garden. Use
a vase you have saved from a time when you received flowers from
a florist or spend a little on a pretty new vase. Tie a ribbon
or raffia bow around it and add a card (make it yourself on your
computer) and your gift is ready!

2. Buy a single bloom at the florist. The florist in our town
will put one carnation, daisy or other flower in a bud vase
along with a little baby’s breath and add a bow for around
$5.00. And they will deliver.

3. Give your mom an afternoon with you! Not with your kids or
spouse along, just you. How long has it been since you spent
uninterrupted time with her? Look at old pictures, reminisce, or
go window- shopping, whatever. The point is just being together.

4. Make your mom’s favorite dessert and present it to her along
with a gift certificate for a homemade dessert once a month.
Especially if your mom lives alone, this can really be a treat.

5. If your mom is elderly or lives alone, give her the gift of a
Saturday spent doing things around her house. Such as washing
her windows, changing light bulbs and air conditioner filters,
working in her yard, hauling away trash, anything she finds it
difficult to do for herself anymore.

6. Gift baskets are always fun for the recipient and the giver,
too. Fill a pretty basket with things you make, cookie mixes,
dried herbs, needlework, a mug filled with a couple of specialty
tea bags. Line the basket with a lacy doily or napkin, add a
raffia bow and you have a great gift any mother will love.

7. If a card is just all you can do this year, make it really
special. Have everyone in the family write a little note;
toddlers who can’t write yet can draw a picture.

With a little imagination, you can create a gift your mother
will be elated to receive! And she’ll wonder what you’ll come up
with next year!

Life began with waking up and loving my mother’s face. - George
Eliot, English novelist

You are definitely not alone if you are feeling a need to simplify and organize your life. Many people easily spend 20 minutes a day looking for things. That is 122 hours a year - 5 entire days every year. You are bombarded with information from every direction, with 150,000 books and 10,000 periodicals published each year in the USA, before you even consider all the material coming at you from every direction online and various parts of your personal and professional life.

A survey of 600 adults commissioned by the Franklin Covey Co. shows:

42% of adults report they too often feel “life is a treadmill and I can’t get off.”
78% of adults say they wish they had more time to “stop and smell the roses.”
58% believe technological advances have given them more time. But they are using old habits with new technology. We need new habits.
81% of people consider themselves organized, YET -
83% say getting more organized is among their goals.

Consider the Law of the Slight Edge. When you use your time more effectively just one hour a day, 365 days a year (weekends, too), your yield would be an additional 45 - eight hour days. That’s 1 1/2 months! What would you do with that ‘extra’ time?

And that’s how much time the National Association of Professional Organizers says professionals spend looking for things. That’s 45 days of every year spent looking for stuff, time you could spend doing more of what you would really like to do!

Here are six painless and easy tips to manage your time more effectively, tips to help reassign those hours now spent searching:

1. Ask yourself ‘where would I look for this?’ rather than ‘where should I put this? when storing paper, possessions, or electronic files. The ‘putting’ part is easy. Finding things quickly and effortlessly is what saves you time.

2. Carry a folder of articles with you. This makes good use of small amounts of time otherwise spent waiting, while making a dent into your reading pile.

3. Create a mini-agenda for phone conversations. A planned call averages seven minutes. An unplanned call averages ten minutes. It is easy to see how you can maximize your phone time.

4. Set a time limit on your involvement in a task. The task will seem less boring or overwhelming if you know you will stop at a certain time.

5. Make notes to yourself for details that come up while sorting any pile. You can then address those notes one at a time later with the attention each deserves.

6. Use a spiral notebook to capture random ideas, to-do lists, and notes of phone conversations. The notebook creates reliability and consistency for storing information and is far superior to the back of an envelope.

Any ONE of these tips can redeposit considerable amounts of time back into the bank of Your Life, to spend in ways that are more pleasurable and satisfying for you. It’s your choice.

Wedding Favors are basically small gifts that you put on your wedding guest’s tables and the will provide a wonderful memory for the day. You can choose from an incredible variety - so matter what you theme is you are sure to find a wedding favor to match.

Many choose a winter theme to go with the season in which the wedding takes place. The choices here are as endless as the snows rolling over the hills. Snowflake candle holders, frosty the snowman place card holders and much more are available.

Summer is among the most popular of wedding themes. The delightful warmth and bright sunshine put everyone in a festive mood. Select a favor that matches. Flowers are a fine choice of design element. Delightful tiny vases, rose-shaped candle holders and other small items will be a big hit.

Spring has to be first on your list for weddings and the matching wedding favors should you not care for the summer heat. The mirror the colors of the season choose wine bottle stoppers or tea lights in blue and green hues.

Fall is for you if you enjoy a brisk breeze and marvel in earth ever changing fall colors. Wedding Favors to take advantage of the outside stimulus would be cone shaped chocolate containers or maybe even small bottles of Vermont’s famous syrup

Maybe you feel more like beach wedding? In that case the sun and surf should get you inspired and evoke memories of romance and the day you got engaged. Why not go with sea shell or star fish tea lights.

Almost everybody considers at one point to get married in Las Vegas; or at least choosing it as a honeymoon spot. You can evoke the same feelings in your guests with some poker chips made out of chocolate to hold them over until diner. Equally popular are coasters with your name etched on it or you display some brass dice on your home office desk.

You’ve planned all your shots out to the last detail,
everything placed to perfections but something’s not quite
right. It’s the lighting of course.

I think one of the largest expenses outside of camera equipment
has to be lighting. I’ve spent many a rainy day staring dreamy
eyed at the Lowel Light catalogue. After taking stock of the
contents of my empty pocket I knew there had to be a cheaper way
to start, so it was off to Sears. I’m not saying that Sears is
lighting central I just had room on my Sears card to go shopping.

A careful search of the closeout section revealed a few boxes of
halogen work lights that we’re either open box returns or the
packaging was less than shelf quality. They came with an
adjustable height stand which honestly isn’t quite high enough
but that’s a small price to pay. The stand folds into a nice
neat little bundle that the included strap wraps around securing
the lights to the folded stand making it compact and really easy
to carry around. So for forty bucks I added two light sets to my
indie arsenal.

There are two lamps that mount to a cross bar that mounts on top
of the stand, the halogen lamps have an adjustable output
wattage. They can either both be used at the same time or you
can run only one depending on your lighting needs. The mounts
that secure the lamps to the crossbar can be adjusted to almost
any angle so that kind of compensates for the lack of height
that the stand offers.

The only “structural” modification I had to make was to remove
the metal cage that covers the lamps themselves. Which was
easily achieved by taking the two screws out of the side of the
lamp and removing the glass pane that covers the bulb so I
didn’t break it. Then I took my handy Leatherman tool which
should be on every set and just clipped the cage that covers the
glass on the front of the lamp.

With the cage remove you’ve got a nice even flow of light coming
from the lamps. From this point you can mess around with milk
crates or whatever you have handy to get the height to where you
need it.

Then with that achieved you can start using your home made
lighting accessories, like the big styrofoam square covered with
gold foil which will be a topic for a future story when I’m done
covering stuff with foil and shower curtains and I have more
tips and tricks for sculpting light.

When my son was in sixth grade, he came home with a rip in his
new sneakers. He told me the gym teacher did it during a sneaker
check. It sounded like a fib, or at best, an accident on the
teacher’s part, but I needed to clarify things.

“You mean he tugged on your sneaker and it ripped?” I asked.

“No, he said. It ripped when he threw it across the floor and it
hit the doorway.”

“He threw it across the floor?” I tried to keep my voice guarded.

“Yeah, if your sneaker comes off, he throws it. My sneaker
ripped when it hit the doorway and flew into the hall. Then I
had to go get it.”

I couldn’t believe what I was hearing, but I struggled to keep
my emotions to myself. If this teacher was so concerned about
safety, how does he explain forcing a child to run across the
slippery gym floor in bare socks to fetch his sneakers? What
about the embarrassment and humiliation? Isn’t that a form of
bullying? I thought my son was exaggerating. But what if he
wasn’t?

I had a hard time accepting my son’s explanation, but I couldn’t
let it go. Either he wasn’t telling the truth, or this teacher
was way out of line. Both scenarios needed to be addressed. I
made an appointment to talk with the principal the next morning.

The principal met my concerns with doubt. When she tired to
dismiss me, I told her I wanted to speak to the gym teacher in
person.

The minute this man walked into her office, I could tell there
was a problem. I knew my son had told the truth. The gym teacher
barely said hello. He didn’t reach out to shake my hand, nor did
he return my smile. He had a cocky attitude, but he didn’t even
know why I was there yet.

I bit my tongue, complementing him on his concern for safety. He
shrugged his shoulders in response. Then I told him that my son
came home with a rip in his new sneakers. Another shrug.
Diplomacy wasn’t working, so I asked him if he threw my son’s
sneaker across the room. “Yeah, so?” was his reply.

“Yeah, so?” My emotions kicked in. “Who do you think you are?
This isn’t boot camp and my son is not a Marine. He is a sixth
grade student. You mean to tell me you whipped his sneaker
across the gym, and then made him fetch it like a dog?”

“Hey, they weren’t tied,” was all he said.

“Don’t you ever, I mean ever as much as touch my son again. If
his sneakers aren’t tied, make his sit out of class, give him
demerits, or call me, but if you touch him again, I’ll come into
that gym and throw you across the room. Got it?”

“Hey, whatever,” he said. “I have rules. His sneakers weren’t
tied.”

For a brief moment, I floundered. The principal’s silence made
me uncomfortable and the gym teacher’s attitude was
intimidating. I gathered my thoughts, took a deep breath and
said, “Don’t you realize how damaging your actions are?

“Is that all?” he said, directing his question to the principal.
Then he left the room.

Two weeks later, the gym teacher was gone. I’m not certain what
happened, but I believe his attitude aided in his demise. I
wasn’t looking for his dismissal, just common courtesy and
respect for my son and his classmates. I guess that was more
than he could offer.

Teachers have a very difficult job. As a whole, I commend their
efforts and dedication. However, as with any profession, there
are good and there are bad. If my son didn’t have physical proof
of this teacher’s bullying behavior, I would never have known
what was going on.

Even as an adult, it can be intimidating to walk into a
principal’s office. But I am a parent who believes my son’s
physical and emotional safety are paramount. I am able to set
aside my own issues to make sure my son is safe.

It’s difficult enough to deal with a classroom bully, but when
the bully is your child’s teacher, it’s usually even more
difficult to correct the problem. Most times, the school
administration will view a parent’s complaint as arrogance on
the part of a parent of an unruly child or revenge for a poor
grade. Proof is difficult to come by. Yet there are times when a
teacher is in fact, a bully.

Lack of safety is one of the top concerns of young people, and
bullying is a real and constant threat. A child’s emotional
development is just as important, if not more so, than academic
development. In fact, a safe, healthy emotional environment is
essential to academic growth and success.

Humiliation, fear, anxiety and depression are the constant
companions of a child that is bullied. It can lead to harmful,
shocking and unexpected behavior from an otherwise shy or timid
child.

Victims feel ashamed and tend to view themselves as failures.
They are more prone to stress related illnesses such as
headaches and stomachaches. In extreme cases, the victim of a
bully can experience sever depression and entertain thoughts of
suicide.

What Do You Do When the Teacher is a Bully?

Stand up for your child. Don’t diminish their concerns over a
teacher’s attitude or behavior. You have the right to question
school authorities, and you owe it to your child to do so.

•If you suspect a teacher is bullying your child, request a
meeting. •Before your meeting, get as many details as possible
from your child. •Speak to other parents to see if their child
has voiced any complaints or observed mistreatment of your
child. •Take notes and prepare yourself. When you speak to the
teacher or administrator, try to keep calm, but make sure you
get answers. •If your concerns are dismissed without resolution,
take it a step further. Document your efforts, meet with the
superintendent, write an article for the newspaper, or attend a
PTO or school board meeting to voice your concerns.

Our children have enough to deal with; a bully for a teacher
shouldn’t be one of their problems.

Like any sports, golf entails some fundamental instructions on
rules, method, customs, and equipment. These golf instructions,
aside from practices, are important in order to become an expert
golfer.

Hence, in the United States, any golfer can gain the same
knowledge that most professional golfers have obtained by
enrolling in golf schools or training centers that are duly
licensed by the U.S. Golf Teacher’s Federation or the
Professional Golfers Association.

For those who would like to know more about golf instructions,
here is a list of some facts that they can use in gaining more
information about golf and golf instructions:

1. Golf Instructions started in the “medieval era”.

As early as the 1350’s, golf instructions had already dominated
the society. Back then, golfers were already incorporating the
basic concept of golf instructions by letting each group of
golfers to strike the next unbroken shot.

2. Expensive state of golf instructions

Before the gutta percha ball was created, golf instructions were
very costly then. It was even considered as a very expensive set
of abilities wherein only a few people from Edinburgh could play
the game.

3. “Show-and-tell” type of golf instruction

It was in 1848 when the “show-and-tell” type of golf
instructions was first introduced. It was also during this year
that the “guttie” ball was invented.

Because of these, golf eventually became an affordable sport. It
also became an easy export item wherein golf was gradually
introduced to the rest of the world.

4. First golf instructional book

It was in 1857 that the first golf instructional book was
published. The book, entitled “A Keen Hand”, written by H.B.
Farnie was all about golf instructions on techniques and
strategies in playing golf.

5. The important part of golf instructions

In golf instructions, the most essential things that a golfer
must learn are alignment, proper posture, golf swing, and grip.
These things are the primary concern of the golf instructions
because these are vital to every golf player’s shot in the game.

6. Golf instructions and shots

Through golf instructions, every golfer wannabe is able to learn
the different traditional shots like fairway shots, chipping,
approaches, putting, sand-shots, and driving.

For higher level of golf instructions, players are taught with
methods that are more intricate like controlling the loft,
trouble shots, and controlling the shape of the shot.

Indeed, there are no better ways to learn golf than through golf
instructions. Everything’s already included and taught in golf
instructions.

I would like to break my lease because I would like to move in
with a friend so I can save money to return to school in the
fall. I still have about 6 months left on my lease. What can I
do?

Thanks, eddie

Dear Eddie,

The first thing to do is read your lease carefully. Some leases
have what is called a “lease breaking clause” which will tell
you exactly what to do as well as how much it will cost you.
There is usually a fee associated with it. But there are also
those leases which do not give you an out. You must remember
that a lease is a legally binding contract to which you are
obligated. Now for the good news - if you should break the lease
and move out, your landlord is obligated to mitigate any
damages. That means he must attempt to re-rent your apartment.
To do so he may also charge you with any marketing expenses
associated with the releasing of your apartment along with any
other fees. If for some reason market conditions prevent him
from finding a qualified renter to move in right away, you will
be held responsible for the rent until an appropriate tenant is
found to take your place.

There will also be other fees associated with moving in another
renter. In the apartment world it is called a “turn-over fee”.
These fees are connected with preparing the unit for a new
renter. Did the landlord have to send in a painter and/or
cleaner in order to re-rent your apartment? Charges such as
these can also be charged to you as well.

If you feel that your landlord did not treat you fairly, contact
a lawyer who has experience in landlord-tenant law. You may want
to explore your options.
