Question: How to reduce the price of home already on market? I'm considering reducing the price of my home that has been on the market for 3 weeks with more or less no response from the market (not one prospect has asked to see the house, other than at open houses). My agent blames the Labor Day weekend and back-to-school preparations as having keeping away prospects. Anyway, I'm not so sure, and want to ask for your opinion on how I should reduce the selling price. Should I announce, "Price Reduced!," on MLS and place a little sign above the for sale sign in my frontyard as many sellers do? I am concerned that this approach may give the impression that (if I'm reducing the price of the house after only 3 weeks) there is something wrong with my house, or that I am desperate and may even reduce the price further, and keep prospects away.

Answer: It can be a selling point if you announce the price has been reduced, it can also turn people off and make them wonder why you reduced it, (they may wonder if something is wrong with the home, etc.) It is rather soon for you to do this, I sold my previous home as a for sale by owner and was on the market for over a month and a half, so I had to hire an agent and it still took approximately 2 months to sell or get an offer, the agent thought we were too high, so I reduced it at that time by 20K and got an offer, and the home was located in a suburb in Los Angeles, in an excellent location with no inventory of homes, The question is, are you desperate to sell it, if that's the case then go ahead and reduce the price, and you never know, it's a 50/50 chance, while some prospect buyers may be turned away, some other new ones may be excited and put an offer, your agent is partially correct, summer is usually the busiest times for home sales, after that things begin to slow down, as people are doing other things and most have made their decisions and purchases. It's a fact. Good luck!

Answer: If you really want to lose stomach weight and change the way that you look, there are three steps that need to be taken. If you skip any one of these steps, you”re going to have a difficult time sticking with it and losing the weight permanently. Although you may be able to use one of these on their own in order to lose weight, it is not something that you will be able to maintain long enough to see permanent results. 1) The first thing that you need to do is to educate yourself, or more than likely, re-educate yourself. Much of the information that we get on a regular basis about diet and weight loss is simply information that is given to us by the weight loss industry. 2) The next thing that you”re going to have to do is to begin eating properly. There are plenty of different ways that you can eat in order to lose stomach weight effectively but it really boils down to the amount of calories that you are taking into your body. 3) Finally, you need to make sure that you are exercising regularly. It is not really necessary for you to hit the gym on a daily basis but it wouldn't hurt if you do a little bit of light weight lifting.

Question: How to reduce pH from 4 to 2 without changing the potential developed by each value? I'm doing a project which need 2 bring certain pH value. Regarding that I need pH of 2. But the pH tablet available in the market is 4. I need to reduce the pH value. I added acid to reduce its pH. But the potential gets changed day by day. So, give me the suggestion to reduce it without change in potential or voltage that is developed.

Answer: In order to advise you properly, you must provide more information.Can you tell us what acid you added. Are you saying that the pH changes with time. You should know that 0.01M HCl solution has pH = 2.0. Why not make some 0.01M HCl and use that.

Question: How can I reduce water pressure in a shower, without reducing water pressure in the whole house? I have a one shower in which the water pressure is so high it makes it unusable, but everywhere else in the house the water pressure is fine. It's a closed vented system that requires 1 bar pressure which cannot be reduced, so I'm stumped as to how to reduce the pressure for this one shower. Anyone out there have any idea's?

Answer: Three choices, try putting in a washer with smaller opening than you have now, get a pressure reducing shower head, or go to a hardware store they may have a shower shut off which you install just before the shower head, this will allow you to regulate the pressure or shut the waterflow completely. EDIT: with no offense to DIY doc the shower clearly does not have the taps where you can regulate the water flow, the only thing you control is the temperature.

Question: How to reduce the pain for my girlfriend durin our first time having sex? Me and my girlfriend are planning on having sex for the first time, but we wan to reduce her pain as much as possible as we both know she may end up in a lot of pain, ATM she can barely manage having 2 fingers inside her and her hymen may not be broken yet, also I have a larger than average size penis, which does not really help at this stage, so what can we do to reduce her pain and potential bleeding?

Answer: Lube could definitely help a lot in this case. It's not uncommon for people to use it, especially for their first time! Also, make sure there is a lot of foreplay as that will cause her to naturally lubricate more, plus help you both relax. Relaxation is a huge key because being stressed or worried can cause you to tighten up. And to be honest, I thought my first time would hurt a lot, since I also wasn't that "stretched" when it came to my hymen, but it turned out fine. The initial entry is going to be uncomfortable for half a second, but then I felt good. ^_^ Good luck and be safe!

Question: How to reduce algae in fresh water fish-tank permanently exposed to sunlight? I know that light is the problem but is there any way to reduce the amount of algae growing without having to move the tank? I have heard about a UV filter? Or maybe a screen that reduces the light passing through?

Answer: Put black card or paper on the sides of the tank that get the direct sunlight and use some low-light fast growing plants like java moss and moss balls (which are technically a kind of algae) to out compete any algae to the nutrients they feed on. Make sure you keep up on regular partial water changes also. UV filters are generally designed for ponds, finding one that happily sits in an average fish tank may prove a bit of a challenge. I did find the Aquael Internal UV filter series though which appear to be fairly compact. It would be easier to treat the problem than the symptoms in this case though - moving the tank! edit: FYI Otos don't solve algae issues, they just treat the symptom. They're very fragile fish that can keel over without warning - all Otos are wild caught. They only eat some soft algaes, they won't eat hair algae or green spot algae for example. They're also mini poop machines, pretty much pooping 24/7.

Question: How to reduce the amount of dust forming in your home? Everyday, when I wake up, there's always dust everywhere. There dust on my desk, my lamp, and on my windows. How do I reduce dust and reduce further formation?

Answer: Change the filter in your heating system, and dust and vacuum every day. Take your shoes off at the door, and change to house shoes. Air filters seem to create dust, at least the ones I have had. And a humidifier makes the dust wetter so it settles everywhere, and you can see it sitting there more easily. Bummer! Good Luck!

Question: Best way to reduce colors in Photoshop or another software? Hello, I need to reduce colors from photos to like 40-60 for a project. It is very important though that the quality of the picture stays as good as possible. Are there more effective ways to do this beside choosing Indexed Colors in Photoshop? Using some Blur or other filters before reducing colors? Is there any other software which is better fit for this job? Any tricks are very appreciated! but those tips simply take the colors out of the pictures? i want to lower the ammount of colors to 40-60 while still maintaing colors as close to the original as possible.

Answer: Hi. I read some books and do not remember there is another way. But when saving as GIF files, remeber to check "Preserve Exact Colors". You can also go to File>Save for Web> then select in flyout menu on right (small triangle) - Select All Web Safe Colors, and eventually choose colors. If there are noise problems, try checking Diffusion, instead of No Dither on the left side, above the color palette. When You select 32 colors in po-up at right, eventually add also Restrictive (Web) instead of Perceptual 1 pop-up window above previous. All I talk here is about CS2 - I did not have earlier versions. I cannot help You more. Sorry Ciao

Question: How do i reduce the sound that comes in and out of a room? I live in an apartment and I'm looking to reduce the noise that goes in and out of the office room. I am not looking to completely sound proof the room but just Reduce the Noise. I was looking at some sound foam and wanted to know how well would that work and what thickness should I get? I'm looking at a couple titles for each wall about 24"x24" each title. Are they worth getting?

Question: How do you reduce heat energy in your house and save bills? I have a huge assignment and I need to list 5 ways to reduce your heat bills by obviously reducing Heat Energy. Could you explain it in depth and even add a scientific reason on why?

Answer: You probably mean stop the loss of heat energy, or use less because less leaves. Insulation stops the flow of heat. Better insulation includes R-15 in the attic, sealing up cracks, storm doors and windows, Save energy of heating water for baths by taking showers, it uses less water Save energy used in the refrigerator by not standing in front a long time with the door open. If you are barefooted, you can feel the cold air falling out, Save electrical energy by turning off lights as you leave the room and turning off the TV when not in use. Heat only the amount of food or water that you need. heating a cup of water takes far less energy that heating a whole teakettle. Heat=mass x specific heat of the material x change in temperature Wear a sweater rather than turning the heat up. Use a small electrical heater in the room where you are and keep the thermostat for the house set lower. Have the furnace checked yearly including new filters so that it is efficient
