EpiTect Fast Bisulfite Conversion Kits are a coordinated system of kits that enable highly efficient conversion of unmethylated cytosines to uracils in as little as 30 minutes while offering outstanding flexibility in choice of starting material. Streamlined procedures for sample lysis and direct bisulfite conversion of DNA from whole blood, cultured cells, tissue samples, genomic DNA and formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) slices make efficient bisulfite conversion fast and effortless. Innovative DNA Protect technology ensures effective DNA denaturation without degradation, resulting in high DNA yield and reproducible results. The spin-column procedures can be automated on the QIAcube Connect. The procedure in 96-well format delivers ultrafast, high-throughput bisulfite conversion of DNA and can be processed using a centrifuge or vacuum manifold.
Highly efficient bisulfite conversion
Bisulfite treatment of DNA and the resulting conversion of unmethylated cytosines to uracils is the most critical step in methylation analysis, since the reaction efficiency will greatly impact the reliability of downstream analyses. EpiTect Fast Bisulfite Conversion Kits contain innovative Bisulfite Solution, which enables ultrafast, highly efficient bisulfite conversion, even on difficult-to-analyze samples such as X-chromosome genomic DNA derived from a female sample, where one of the 2 X-chromosomes is highly methylated (see figure "Highly efficient cytosine conversion of X chromosome DNA"). Quantification of individual cytosine conversion by Pyrosequencing shows that significantly better conversion is achieved with the EpiTect Fast Bisulfite Conversion Kit than a kit from another supplier, particularly when the amount of starting material is limited (see figure "Superior bisulfite conversion").
Reduced DNA fragmentation
The harsh conditions necessary for complete bisulfite conversion usually lead to a high degree of DNA fragmentation and sample loss, leading to low DNA yield, highly fragmented DNA and irreproducible conversion rates. QIAGEN's unique DNA Protect Buffer prevents DNA degradation, resulting in fully-converted DNA of much larger fragment sizes than DNA converted with other suppliers' kits (see figure "Analysis of DNA fragment sizes after bisulfite conversion").optimized RT mix for efficient and sensitive reverse transcription over a wide range of RNA template amounts. For convenience, the master mix can be stored at 2–8°C.
Fast and complete bisulfite conversion of sample DNA is essential for accurate DNA methylation analysis. EpiTect Fast Bisulfite Conversion Kits include an innovative Bisulfite Solution that allows highly efficient bisulfite conversion in as little as 30 minutes. Streamlined sample lysis and conversion protocols allow efficient purification and bisulfite conversion of DNA, while unique DNA Protect technology minimizes DNA fragmentation during bisulfite treatment. The 3 EpiTect Fast Bisulfite Conversion Kits and EpiTect Fast 96 Bisulfite Conversion Kits are interconnected, functioning as an integrated system of solutions for direct bisulfite conversion of DNA from a broad range of starting materials (see figures "Interconnected protocols of the EpiTect Fast Bisulfite Conversion Kits"). However, each kit has unique features, addresses a specific sample type and includes all buffers and reagents necessary to function independently. The components in each kit combine to deliver effective lysis of samples, minimal loss of DNA during lysis, complete bisulfite conversion, robust protection during conversion and thorough cleanup of DNA.
Fast bisulfite conversion
EpiTect Fast Bisulfite Conversion Kits provide a very fast and streamlined procedure for efficient conversion and purification of DNA prepared from genomic DNA, FFPE, blood, cells or tissue samples. The kits contain highly concentrated Bisulfite Solution, which reduces the time required to convert unmethylated cytosine residues into uracil from several hours to as little as 30 minutes, as well as preparation buffers that make it unnecessary to isolate the DNA prior to bisulfite treatment. Furthermore, the bisulfite thermal cycling program provides an optimized series of incubation steps necessary for thermal DNA denaturation and subsequent sulfonation and cytosine deamination, enabling high cytosine conversion rates of over 99%. Desulfonation, the final step in chemical conversion of cytosines, is achieved by a convenient on-column step included in the purification procedure.
DNA Protect Buffer
Fast and complete bisulfite conversion of sample DNA is the most critical step for the correct determination of a methylation pattern. This is achieved by incubating the DNA in high bisulfite salt concentrations at high temperature and low pH. These harsh conditions often lead to a high degree of DNA fragmentation and subsequent loss of DNA during purification. Common bisulfite procedures usually require high amounts of input DNA to compensate for DNA degradation during conversion and DNA loss during purification, which often lead to low DNA yield, highly fragmented DNA and irreproducible conversion rates. With EpiTect Fast Bisulfite Conversion Kits, DNA fragmentation is prevented during bisulfite conversion by the unique DNA Protect Buffer, which is uniquely formulated to prevent the fragmentation usually associated with bisulfite treatment of DNA at high temperatures and low pH values. It also provides effective DNA denaturation, resulting in the single-stranded DNA necessary for complete cytosine conversion. DNA Protect Buffer also contains a convenient pH indicator dye as a mixing control allowing confirmation of the correct pH for cytosine conversion (see figure "DNA Protect Buffer").
Deparaffinization of FFPE samples
The first step in extracting DNA from FFPE samples is deparaffinization, whereby paraffin is first dissolved and then removed, exposing samples for subsequent treatment with lysis buffer and proteinase K. With the EpiTect Fast FFPE Bisulfite Kit, the deparaffinization, lysis and decrosslinking of FFPE slices is optimized with Deparaffinization Solution, an innovative chemistry that facilitates deparaffinization with minimal handling. Deparaffinization Solution contributes to high DNA recovery rates, since it remains on the sample while proteinase K digestion is carried out. With no need to pellet the FFPE sample or to remove the paraffin-containing supernatant, the risk of sample loss during deparaffinization is avoided.
EpiTect Fast Bisulfite Conversion Kit procedures comprise a few simple steps: preparation of DNA from a sample, bisulfite-mediated conversion of unmethylated cytosines; binding of the converted single-stranded DNA to the membrane of a MinElute DNA spin column or to the membrane of an EpiTect 96 plate; washing; desulfonation of membrane-bound DNA; washing of the membrane-bound DNA to remove the desulfonation agent; and elution of the pure, converted DNA from the spin column or 96-well plate. Sample preparation is different for FFPE slices, whole blood, cell cultures or tissues, whereas the procedure for bisulfite conversion of extracted DNA is the same for all sample types (see figure " Interconnected protocols of the EpiTect Fast Conversion Kits"). All protocols achieve the same cytosine conversion rates and lead to equal DNA recoveries after purification of converted DNA, independent of DNA starting amounts.
Kit descriptions
EpiTect Fast DNA Bisulfite Kit and EpiTect Fast 96 DNA Bisulfite Kit
EpiTect Fast DNA Bisulfite Kits include carefully formulated buffers and reagents to provide streamlined and effective bisulfite conversion of genomic DNA and subsequent cleanup of the converted DNA (see figures "EpiTect Fast DNA Bisulfite Kit procedure" and "EpiTect Fast 96 DNA Bisulfite Kit procedure"). The novel Bisulfite Solution enables complete bisulfite conversion in as little as 30 minutes, while DNA Protect technology and QIAGEN spin columns or 96-well plates allow the generation of fully converted DNA with minimal degradation that can be eluted in as little as 10 µl of buffer for downstream applications requiring high DNA concentrations. EpiTect Fast DNA Bisulfite Kits can be used for conversion of 1 ng–2 µg DNA in a volume of up to 20 µl. or 1–500 ng in a maximum volume of 40 µl.
EpiTect Fast FFPE Bisulfite Kit
Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissues are processed with the EpiTect Fast FFPE Bisulfite Kit, which consists of the EpiTect Fast FFPE Lysis Kit, containing specialized buffers for efficient deparaffinization and lysis of FFPE tissue slices (see figure "EpiTect Fast FFPE Bisulfite Kit procedure"), and the EpiTect Fast DNA Bisulfite Kit for fast and effective bisulfite conversion of the extracted DNA. The protocol includes an optimized step to facilitate binding of DNA and can be used with single slices of FFPE tissue (10 µm in thickness). The DNA fragmentation that inevitably occurs when DNA is extracted from FFPE tissues is made worse by the harsh conditions of subsequent bisulfite treatment. QIAGEN's reliable DNA Protect technology minimizes fragmentation during the conversion reaction, resulting in superior yields of bisulfite converted DNA.
EpiTect Fast LyseAll Bisulfite Kit (spin-column format only)
Whole blood, cultured cells or tissue samples are processed with the EpiTect Fast LyseAll Bisulfite Kit, which consists of the EpiTect Fast LyseAll Lysis Kit (see figure "EpiTect Fast LyseAll Bisulfite Kit procedure") with an innovative lysis buffer and the EpiTect Fast DNA Bisulfite Kit for bisulfite conversion of the extracted DNA. The protocol includes an optimized step to facilitate binding of DNA along with uniquely formulated lysis buffers to streamline the release of DNA from samples. This kit can be used with 0.5–20 µl blood or 10–105 cells (as little as 60 pg of DNA).
The EpiTect Fast Bisulfite Conversion Kit delivers fast and efficient bisulfite conversion of DNA from various starting material that is highly suited for all techniques currently used for the analysis of DNA methylation, including:
K562 genomic DNA was bisulfite converted using the EpiTect Fast DNA Bisulfite Kit, and a 100 bp amplicon from the X-chromosome was amplified using cytosine-free primers to allow amplification of both unconverted and bisulfite converted DNA. PCR products were cloned into a vector and Sanger sequencing was done to identify converted cytosines. 1252 individual cytosines were analyzed, revealing a highly efficient cytosine conversion rate of 99.8%. This high conversion rate is especially significant as the genomic DNA was derived from a female; therefore, one of the 2 X-chromosomes is highly methylated.

Rooms for rent in Carbis Bay
About the Rooms for Rent Section
Rooms to rent in flatshares and house shares with like-minded over 40s landlords. It's free to register to advertise a room.
You can register as a live-in landlord or a lead tenant with a spare room to rent, or as a housemate looking for a room.
People interested in a finding a room in a house share search in this section.
Phil B, Manchester
"Advertising a room to rent on Cohabitas enabled us to find great lodgers, that fit our profile. Instead of waiting for lodgers to find us, we used the search filters to locate suitable profiles and proactively contacted them. This approach is very effective if you are prepared to invest some time in your search."
Julie E, London
"Please pause my room listing. Have had a very good response to my room advert within the first couple of weeks, such a good website. Thanks!"
Kerrie S, Surrey
"I was delighted to find the Cohabitas website... it met my needs perfectly and I found a suitable housemate very quickly. I will definitely come back to Cohabitas when I have a vacant room in the future."
Find Your Best House Share Match
Tip: The terms roomshare, room rental and shared rooms are widely used in the US. However, this does not mean people are looking to share a room; it also means they are looking for a room in a shared house and that is known as a house share or flat share in UK.
Tip: Room to rent is the term we use interchangeably on Cohabitas for rooms in flatshares or house shares, as well as rooms to rent (plural).
If you have a spare room and are thinking of renting it out, you can add a free room for rent listing yourself.
Its easy to add listing, but if you need more help then we offer a telephone registration service and you can tell us about the room for rent details over the phone. We'll do the rest.

© The New York Public Library, 2024
The New York Public Library is a 501(c)(3) | EIN 13-1887440
The New York City photograph collection began in the 1920s, not long after the opening of the new central library at Fifth Avenue and 42nd Street. The goal was to document the changing face of New York City, with a particular emphasis on new building construction, and on the structures torn down and replaced. The method is clear in this 1937 progress report by librarian Sylvester L. Vigilante on obtaining photographs: "The old Union League Building and site was taken care of and the erection of the new building is being covered.... Through the newspapers and tips from interested people, we get a line on demolitions, events and street changes."
Historical photographs complemented contemporary images, as the collection continued to grow systematically through commissioned photographs, purchases, and gifts into the early 1970s. Organization is by borough, and then by street address; a section of topical subjects such as Islands, Occupations, Parades, Social Conditions, Transportation augments the geographical portions of the holding.
Uniform, legal-size (15 x 11 inch) manila mounts enabled easy interfiling of the photographs, facilitated research browsing, and provided space on the versos for additional information about the scene depicted, its historical background, date, and creator. Later, acid-free archival board served the same purpose. Most recently, these photo- and caption-bearing mounts enabled swift and uniform digital capture, and in digital form permit a very nearly accurate estimate of an individual photograph's dimensions.
Among the well-known photographers represented are Berenice Abbott, Alexander Alland, A. Tennyson Beals and his wife Jessie Tarbox Beals, Ewing Galloway, Samuel H. Gottscho, Fay Sturtevant Lincoln, and Irving Underhill, as well as photo agencies such as Brown Brothers, Culver Service, International Photos, Underwood and Underwood, and Wurtz Brothers. In addition, a Staten Island-based commercial photographer, Percy Loomis Sperr (1890-1964), working under contract and directed by Library staff, produced nearly 30,000 of the collection's photographs to document changes in the City from the late 1920s to the early 1940s.
In 1981, University Microfilms International published a microfiche edition of the collection with printed indexes by Street, Building Name, Subject, and Photographer which now, repurposed, are serving the digital version. The Photographic Views of New York City Collection is the most outstanding original resource in the Milstein Division. It provides visual information-as evidence, documentation, and illustration-to a wide range of audiences. These range from historic preservationists in restoration work, community groups pursuing landmark designation for buildings and neighborhoods, to historians seeking to illuminate text, filmmakers striving to ensure the historical accuracy of set designs, family historians looking for the homes or business locations of their ancestors, and artists and writers in search of the specifics that can prompt imagination.

You want to sell your Providence house, and you want to get top dollar.
But "What do I need to do to sell my house in Providence"?
Here are some tips on how to get your home ready to sell if you're looking for top dollar that the market will bear:
*NOTE: These instructions are if you're looking to get full retail value for your house sale. However, if you don't want to do the things below… or don't have the time or money to do the things below… you can still sell your Providence house fast for a fair value in a win-win sale that'll save you time and expense.
1) Clean, clean and clean. Even vacant houses get dusty and dirty, so keep it up! Nothing short of gleaming perfection will impress buyers. If you're not a total clean freak, hire someone who is to help you out until you sell.
If you're a slob, consider finding somewhere else to live while you show your house. Maybe you can bribe your cleanest friend to trade houses with you? Seriously, keeping everything immaculate really helps buyers feel comfortable in your space. Nothing stops people faster from buying faster than feeling grossed out.
2) Cultivate a cohesive, neutral style. You don't have to paint everything off-white. In fact, some subtle colors can really help change the perception of spaces – for example, a soft yellow will help brighten up a dark kitchen, while a deep dark blue or green will help a bright bedroom to feel like a calm place to sleep (but be careful, dark colors will also make rooms feel small).
Spend the money to get high-quality paint and professional help. Subconsciously people will pay more money for a property with just the right colors and very neat lines – it makes the home feel better built, even though it's just paint.
Optical illusions are real, and psychologists study this stuff. Don't believe me?
Look it up. And don't neglect the outside and just do the inside, or anything else that's unbalanced.
3) Fix or replace anything that's broken. Yeah, it might feel like a waste of money to spend an extra couple hundred bucks on a dishwasher that someone else might just pull out and replace again. But really, quite a few buyers will get a home inspection and use the opportunity to negotiate with you. As the seller, you'll often end up paying more if you try to hide neglected maintenance from the purchaser – and of course you don't want to be guilty of fraud.
Make sure you stay in compliance with all the laws.
It's often a good use of money to hire a home inspector to come through before you put the property on the market. If you ask in advance, they'll often charge you a tiny rate to come back after you've done a bunch of minor repairs and deliver you a clean bill of health. Prospective buyers love to see an independent report on the condition of the house – it makes them feel very comfortable with the purchase.
4) Make only necessary improvements. The biggest mistake people make when getting their house ready to sell is over-improving. They often spend too much money on customized frills that can't be recovered in the sale.
Paint is about the only safe investment – it's easy to overspend on almost everything else, and it's easy to get ripped off by unscrupulous contractors.
It's important to know what improvements will produce a return on investment to avoid wasting money.
5) Get expert opinions. You should definitely find at least a few decent real estate brokers who will help you price your property, but be honest with them. If you're going to market the property on your own, don't make enemies by lying about your intentions. Great brokers are rare, but they make more money for their clients than they earn.
6) Have a really great marketing plan. Again, great brokers earn their value by doing this work and spreading the advertising expenses across many clients. It's pretty expensive and time-consuming to start from scratch on your own, but if you're already a marketing expert you're ahead of the pack.
If you're not, spend the time listening to what the best brokers do to sell houses in Providence – just to educate yourself on the options.
7) Get a cash offer. We buy houses all over the Providence area, and we do all the work so you don't have to deal with any of this stuff.
Don't Want To Do The Things Above Yourself? But Still Want To Sell Your Providence Kansas House Fast?
While everyone wants to get as much as they possibly can from their house sale… not everyone can do the things or wants to do the things required to sell it at full retail value to an end buyer.
Doing the repairs, cleaning the property up, upgrading the property, marketing the property… those all take money and can take lots of time.
If you have the funds to do these things... AND you can wait the 3-9 months it takes to sell houses in this market… then you'll be better off financially to do those things then list it on the MLS (the main property listing service that real estate agents use).
If you don't have the funds to do these things... AND can't wait months to sell your house… then you may be a perfect fit for our local Providence house buying service. You'll submit basic info about your house over here on our website, we'll evaluate your house, we'll make you a fair all-cash offer on your house, and you can decide if it's a fit for you.
Then we can close FAST (often times within 7 days) if you need us to.
Take a look at what we'll pay you not to do anything versus the time, expense and hassle involved with doing it on your own.
So if you're still asking "what do I need to do to sell my house in Providence"… now you have 2 solid options.
- Fix the property up and get it all nice and ready with the steps above to sell it at top dollar
- Let us do all of the work and we'll make you a cash offer on your house in AS-IS condition. This saves you time, money, and gets the hassle off of your hands.
If you need to sell a property near Providence, we can help you.
We buy properties like yours from people who need to sell fast.

WASHINGTON –– Since the creation under President George W. Bush of what is now known as the Office of Faith-based and Neighborhood Partnerships, the formal collaboration of government and religious institutions has steadily expanded, though not without growing pains.
A set of guidelines issued by the Office of Management and Budget Aug. 2 aims to clarify some of the areas that have, at times, appeared to be a little muddy. For example, the guidance changes the term for what kind of religious activity cannot be conducted in a government-funded program from "inherently religious" to "explicitly religious" and offers examples.
Melissa Rogers, director of the office, told Catholic News Service in an Aug. 15 phone interview that where the boundaries lie between religious and government activity needed to be clearer.
"We found there was some confusion" Rogers said, about, for example, whether explicitly religious activities such as prayer or worship could have any part in programs funded with government money, and exactly where the boundaries between them need to be established.
"We found people didn't always have all the practical guidance they needed," she said.
Rogers said the guidance clarifies that just as explicitly religious activities are prohibited in federally funded projects, so too, is hostility toward religion.
For example, if, in a federally funded program intended to help people with job skills, a participant cites her religious faith as helping keep her motivated and supported, that's perfectly fine. The participant should not be discouraged from such an expression, and it certainly wouldn't disqualify her from the program, Rogers said. But neither should the government-paid employees of the program be initiating a conversation about how faith in God may help someone who's looking for work.
Put another way, government-funded employees of programs offered through faith institutions shouldn't be leading participants toward religious expression. Nor should they stand in the way if participants spontaneously raise religious influences on their lives.
The OMB guidance incorporates the March 2010 recommendations of an advisory council of faith and community leaders. The panel was asked to propose how partnerships with the government should function. That material went to an interagency working group that built upon the advisory council's proposals and issued its own recommendation in April 2012.
The OMB said individual federal agencies will need to review their rules for faith-based collaboration, using those interagency recommendations as a basis.
"For example," said the OMB memorandum, "these rules must be amended where appropriate to clarify prohibited uses of direct federal financial assistance and to set forth matters such as additional protections for prospective and current beneficiaries, responsibilities of intermediary organizations, and the definitions of 'direct' and 'indirect' assistance."
In plainer language, Rogers said in her own blog post about the OMB directive: "This guidance will help agencies to ensure that these partnerships respect religious freedom guarantees and work effectively for faith-based and other community providers, and the people in need they serve."
Rogers' blog said the memorandum also is intended to ensure that:
– Decisions about federal grants are not made on the basis of an organization's religious affiliation or because of a lack of any religious affiliation.
– Transparency improves by online posting of regulations, documents used as guidance, and policies that have implications for faith-based and neighborhood organizations. Lists of organizations receiving federal finances should also be posted.
For some observers, such as Mark Silk, professor of Religion in Public Life at Trinity College in Hartford, Conn., one area of concern about collaboration between faith institutions and the government continues to be whether churches, mosques, temples or other religious institutions may discriminate on the basis of religion in hiring workers for federally funded programs.
In a blog post for the National Catholic Reporter, Silk observed that the Justice Department was asked to deal with questions about faith-based hiring on a case-by-case basis. He called it an "elephant in the living room" that the Obama administration has not explicitly addressed whether faith-based organizations can discriminate on religious grounds in hiring for federally funded programs.
The OMB guidance doesn't address that. Neither did the recommendations of the interagency working group, nor did the 2010 report of the advisory council, which Rogers chaired as an appointed member. She was named director of the faith-based office in March.
At the time, the advisory council did its work, it was directed to "not address the issue of religion-based employment decisions" for jobs partly or fully subsidized by the federal government.
In 2012, a White House official told CNS that organizations that engage in religion-based hiring would continue to be allowed to compete for federally funded programs.
As the former chair of the advisory council, Rogers in 2012 said she regretted that "the White House has not moved" on the subject of employment guidelines. She noted courts have upheld the right of faith organizations to employ only co-religionists in ministry, but that it's less clear where the legal line falls for federally funded faith-based groups.
Speaking with more circumspection in her new position as director of the faith-based office, Rogers was careful to say only that the office is "moving to implement the rules in the executive order" that in November 2010 set out President Barack Obama's principles for government partnerships with faith-based groups "and guidance as quickly and comprehensively as possible."

Returning to Switzerland involves a number of administrative steps, beginning with reporting your departure to the Swiss representation where you are registered and possibly also to the competent foreign authorities, observing the customs formalities in the host country or reporting your arrival in Switzerland.
Returning to Switzerland (deregistration from the register of the Swiss abroad)
You can report your new address to the representation using the Online desk.
Be sure also to initiate in good time the procedures for authorisation of the entry and residence of any family members who are citizens of a foreign country and require formal authorisation prior to entering Swiss territory.
Documents deposited with a Swiss representation abroad
When returning to Switzerland do not forget to reclaim any certificates of origin you have deposited with the Swiss representation at the time of registration. You will need these documents when registering with the municipality of your place of residence in Switzerland.

10 Curb Appeal Makeovers that Increase Your Home's Value
You never get a second chance to make a good first impression, and that counts for your home, too! Buyers might be less likely to check out the rest of a house if the outside is unappealing—even if the interior is stunning.
If you're looking to sell your house, a few inexpensive changes to your home's exterior could help make the process smoother. From being able to sell faster to adding greater value to the asking price.
Add a Fresh Coat of Paint
Depending on what your budget is, painting can give you a lot of bang for your buck. When painting, don't forget picket fences around your yard, trimming around the eaves of the roof, and replacing old gutters and downspouts may catapult the appeal of the exterior of your home.
Update Your Landscaping
Before you spend a dime on your house, look at your yard, landscaping, sidewalk, and front entryway. In all of these areas, a few hours of yard work, tidying up your property can go a long way. Tall trees and shrubs can make a small house look smaller. Look for lush ground cover plants and add a few pops of color to build more dimension to your walkway
Add Exterior Architectural Details
Turn a standard structure into a period piece by adding attractive trim and stone to your walkway. Or spice up your front entry door hardware by using new metal finishes and different decorative styled lighting fixtures.
Turn on the Charm
The strongest appeal to any home is adding bits of charm that welcomes your visitors. You can do this by adding details that make your home unique such as a sitting bench or rocking chair and subtle walkway lighting. If you have a large front porch, add furniture and an outdoor area rug. Wall décor can also bring the indoors out.
Emphasize the Front Door
A brightly colored door is a great way to draw attention to your house and make it feel more inviting. The front door should be your home's exterior focal point — ramp up the appeal by painting it a rich hue, updating door hardware or adding a new knocker.
Update your Walkway
This can be as easy as pressure washing your concrete walkway and adding in colored mulch to your landscaping. The contrast between a lighter walkway and darker mulch creates an illusion of length..
Create Symmetry
Symmetry is not only pleasing to the eye, it's also the simplest to arrange. Symmetrical structures such as light fixtures, potted plants, and other front-door accents can create a welcoming entryway and boost curb appeal.
Mailbox Makeover
Mailboxes should complement the home and express the homeowner's personality. Dress up your mailbox for easy curb appeal by painting the wooden post to match the house's exterior color, or by surrounding it by a beautiful flowering garden.
Add shutters or accent trim
Shutters and trim add a welcoming layer of beauty and curb appeal to your home's exterior. Exterior shutters can be made of wood, aluminum, vinyl, composite, or fiberglass.
Replace the gutters
If your home has an older gutter system, odds are it's also suffering from peeling paint, rust, or other problems that can convey a sense of neglect. Replace old systems with a newer vinyl gutter system or pull out the paint.
In real estate, a beautiful face isn't just memorable, it can make or break a home sale. The exterior of your home deserves the same attention to detail as the interior. Improving the look of your home's exterior doesn't require a 6-man crew and thousands of dollars. From fresh paint to colorful plants, these ten easy updates can be accomplished by just about any homeowner, and shouldn't stress your finances either.

Frustrated, Hendrix reached out to old friend Billy Cox, with whom he had served in the US Army and performed on the famed R&B 'chitlin' circuit' prior to leaving for New York. The bassist reunited with Hendrix backstage at this Experience concert in Memphis. "We met when the Experience played in Memphis," Cox explains. "He told me that he wanted me to be his bass player. He said that things weren't in the order the way he wanted them and would I come as a friend and help him out. He said he'd take care of me and everything would be okay and so I gladly accepted. I went back to Nashville, closed my publishing company, dropped everything else and left for New York." Three days after the backstage meeting in Memphis, Cox joined Hendrix at the Record Plant recording studio in New York.

While checking through Canada Customs, one of the bags Hendrix offers to be searched contains what is believed to be an illicit substance. Hendrix is arrested and taken to Police Headquarters in downtown Toronto. He is later released on a $10,000 cash bail and required at a court appearance on May 5. After his release, The Experience book into the Four Seasons Hotel and then head directly to Maple Leaf Gardens where they prepare for an evening performance. Jimi opened his show with greeting, "We want you to forget about today, about yesterday, and about tomorrow. Tonight we're gonna create a whole new world," The guitarist then launched into an incendiary rendition of "Fire." Ritchie Yorke, who reviewed the performance for the May 4 issue of The Globe And Mail, was moved to write, "his guitar became the voice of the Rave New World. It screamed, hissed, and shrieked with the ferocity of a thousand dentist drills plunged into a single tooth." The evening's performance also featured a superb version of "Spanish Castle Magic", complete with touches of both "Third Stone From The Sun" and "Little Miss Lover" interwoven within the song's extended instrumental break. Jimi also performed a rare, fascinating early live version of "Room Full Of Mirrors".

Set List: Tax Free Hear My Train A Comin' Fire Spanish Castle Magic Red House Foxey Lady Star Spangled Banner Purple Haze The Experience topped the bill at the 1969 Denver Pop Festival. The festival, staged at Mile High Stadium, boasted a stellar lineup which also included Johnny Winter, Joe Cocker, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Poco, Frank Zappa & The Mothers Of Invention, Iron Butterfly, Tim Buckley, and Big Mama Thornton. An inspired set by the Experience was marred by a riot following the group's performance. Police officers began firing tear gas at the audience while Eric Barrett, a roadie for the Experience, rushed the band off stage and into the back of their rented equipment truck. Fans climbed all over the vehicle, nearly buckling the roof before the Barrett and the road crew could whisk the group away. The Denver Pop Festival would prove to be the last performance by the original Jimi Hendrix Experience. Immediately afterwards, Noel Redding elected to leave the group and returned to London. Redding cited Hendrix's stated desire to expand the group without consulting him as one of the factors influencing his decision.

Woodstock Music & Art Festival, Bethel, New York Set List: Message To Love Hear My Train A Comin' Spanish Castle Magic, Red House Mastermind [Larry Lee] Lover Man Foxey Lady Jam Back At The House Izabella Gypsy Woman [Larry Lee] Fire Voodoo Child (Slight Return) Star Spangled Banner Purple Haze Woodstock Improvisation Villanova Junction Blues Hey Joe Beginning in July 1969, Jimi relocated to Shokan, a quiet upstate New York village near Woodstock for the balance of the summer. Here Hendrix was accorded sufficient time to relax and refine his new musical direction. In time, the rustic summer retreat served to rejuvenate his creative spirit. "Jimi was taking a kind of vacation out in the country, trying to get his act together," explains Eddie Kramer. "It was all part of his developmental process, wood shedding if you want to call it that. With Billy Cox in tow, Jimi revisited his Tennessee roots once more, reaching back to guitarist Larry Lee, another old friend and veteran of the chitlin' circuit. Where Cox had been actively involved in various music projects prior to heeding Jimi's call, Lee had just returned from a stint in Vietnam. Also invited to Hendrix's vacation retreat were percussionists Jerry Velez and Juma Sultan. Hendrix met Velez at Steve Paul's Scene Club prior to the break up of the Experience. "I had just finished jamming with The McCoys," explains Velez. "When I walked over to my table, Jimi and his entourage were sitting behind me. A little later, I joined the band on stage again for a few more tunes. When I came back to sit down, he leaned over and said, 'Listen, I'm recording this jam over at the studio tonight. We'll be starting around four, after this thing ends tonight. Do you want to come down and jam?' I said sure. I went over that night and jammed with Jimi and Buddy Miles, and we seemed to hit it off." Juma Sultan was actively involved with the Aboriginal Music Society in Woodstock, New York, and was a highly respected percussionist who would performed regularly at the Tinker Street Cinema. Both were received well during their jam's back at the house and were invited to join Hendrix's expanded ensemble, Gypsy Sun and Rainbows. In the weeks prior to the Woodstock festival, Jimi jammed at his rented home, as well as the Tinker Street Cinema in downtown Woodstock. Making its first and only official public appearance, Hendrix's expanded ensemble Gypsy Sun and Rainbows performs at the Woodstock Music & Art Festival in Bethel, New York. Hendrix takes to the Woodstock stage on Monday morning with the support of Mitch Mitchell (drums), Billy Cox (bass & backing vocals), Larry Lee (rhythm guitar), Juma Sultan (percussion), and Jerry Velez (percussion). His extended set includes his magnificent rendition of the "Star Spangled Banner". At some point after his performance, Hendrix authors "500,000 Halos" which he describes as an 'unfinished sketch of (the) Woodstock Festival.'

Fillmore East, New York Two Shows Prior to their two concerts later that evening, Hendrix and his Band Of Gypsys held an afternoon sound check and rehearsal at the Fillmore East. Later that evening, before a sold out crowd of 2,639, Hendrix rang in the New Year and new decade with two unforgettable performances. The evening's festivities opened with a spirited set by the Voices Of East Harlem, an enthusiastic young gospel ensemble. With the anticipation of the sold out Fillmore audience heightened to fever pitch, Hendrix led his trio through a scintillating, seventy-five minute opening performance. None of the eleven songs presented had yet to grace an Experience album. In the place of signature songs like "Purple Haze" and "All Along The Watchtower" were confident renditions of "Izabella" and "Hear My Train A Comin'". At midnight, Kip Cohen, the venue's master of ceremonies, rang in the new year and decade buffeted by Guy Lombardo's "Auld Lang Syne". Never one to be upstaged, Jimi and company greeted the joyous house with their own inspired reading of the holiday staple. For Amalie Rothschild, the Fillmore East's house photographer, the experience was an unforgettable one. "Then there was the countdown at midnight. It was the countdown that was a real scream. We're talking about the end of the Sixties. December 31, 1969 turning into January 1, 1970–.A new decade. This was significant. After all, we were living through it and we knew that the Sixties were the Sixties. We had this big countdown on the [Joshua White] light show screen with this big clock 10, 9, 8, 7, 6…and everybody is yelling together. Then the light show screen pulls up and everybody is on stage–all the crew and the musicians. Hendrix, who is now on stage, launches into this amazing rendition of 'Auld Lang Syne' and I filmed it [excerpts of Rothschild's color film footage can be seen in the VHS/DVD Band Of Gypsys]. This was history in the making. You could not miss this. His performance was just so inspired. It was just terrific and I can't find the words to describe it." The recordings which make up both Band Of Gypsys and its two disc sequel Live At The Fillmore East certainly bear out Rothschild's remembrances. Jimi's celebrated work with the Band Of Gypsys stands among his most impressive and lasting achievements. After the show, Ian Dove of Record Mirror interviewed Jimi Hendrix for the January 10, 1970 edition of the British paper. Later that night, Hendrix retreated to The Café Caliph (previously known as The Café Au Go Go) in Greenwich Village where he joined The James Cotton Blues Band on stage for a jam.

Ungano's New York, N.Y. Joined by Elvin Bishop, Buddy Miles and others, Hendrix took part in a jam session at Ungano's nightclub (210 West 70th Street, New York City). Sacha Reins, a writer for French entertainment magazine Best (Issue 39) who just happened to be in the club during the event, later wrote about the evening. "It is beginning to get quite late, and I tell myself that I have to go. I look to the door and get a big shock. Jimi is there with a black guitar in his hand. Buddy Miles follows him. He shakes the hand of the boss, and I hear him asking if he doesn't mind them playing a bit. The three telephone booths near the entrance are immediately occupied. We all want to tell a friend that nice things are about to happen. Less than an hour later the club is full. Jimi is onstage and Buddy is looking for a drum stool big enough to support his enormous weight. "A very young guitar player who has been playing for half an hour wants to leave. He doesn't want to play anymore. Jimi stops him and asks him if they can play together. They try out a rather quick number and Jimi intentionally stays in the background. He waits until the young guitarist regains his confidence. Then he takes his turn. He plays short phrases with long silence intermissions during which one only hears the strong and regular pulsations of Buddy Miles. The silences become shorter and shorter. The phrases are less and less chopped up; they become enchained, stupefying. Jimi had found his groove and under his fingers the strings tell us strange stories that we don't fully comprehend."
Billed as the "Winter Festival For Peace," Peter Yarrow (Peter, Paul & Mary) and Sid Bernstein, event producers, announced that their services would be donated and that all proceeds of the event will go to the Vietnam Moratorium effort. The five-hour festival slated from 8 p.m. to 1 a.m. will feature Harry Belafonte; Blood, Sweat & Tears; Dave Brubeck; Richie Havens; Mother Earth; Peter, Paul & Mary; The Rascals; The Cast of Hair; Judy Collins, and Jimi Hendrix & his Band Of Gypsys.
Suffering from exhaustion and the effects of a drink laced with an unknown substance taken before the show, Hendrix failed to execute his musical plans this evening. Having completed just two songs, "Who Knows" and "Earth Blues" the only thing Hendrix could do at that point was drop his guitar and sit down on the stage, meanwhile Miles and Cox continue to roll through the back beats. As Alfred Aronowitz later recalled in his New York Post column, "The crowd has already gotten twice its money's worth when Jimi Hendrix stopped playing in the middle of his second number, said 'That's what happens when Earth ***** with Space, never forget that, that's what happens.'" … "Jimi got up, put his guitar down and walked offstage."
"When he came off stage," explained Alan Douglas "he actually fell off the apron. At first I thought he was hurt, but he wasn't. I then ran backstage to the dressing room to see if in fact he was okay. There he was sitting playing the guitar and smiling. I don't know what went through his mind when he was on stage, but the first thing I noticed, it looked like he was having a big rhythm problem. I think he just got fed up."
Backstage, Jimi meets Johnny Winter. In recounting the meeting Winter explains, "I saw Jimi backstage at the Madison Square Garden concert, the one where he just couldn't play. When I saw him, it have me chills. It was the most horrible thing I'd ever seen. He came in with this entourage of people, and it was like he was already dead. He just walked in – and even though Jimi and I weren't the greatest of friends, we always talked, always – and he came in with his head down, sat on the couch alone, and put his head in his hands. He didn't say a word to anybody, and no one spoke to him. He didn't move until it was time for the show. He really wanted to do that gig, but he never should have. It wasn't that it was bad, but his whole thing was inspiration, and there wasn't any. It was just completely uninspired; finally, right in the middle of a song, he just took his guitar off, sat on the stage – the band was still playing – and told the audience, "I'm sorry, we just can't get it together." One of his people said he was sick, and lead him off stage. He was just so unhappy that there was no way that he could play the show. It didn't have anything to do with the group – he had already died!"
