I don't know about you but I am trying to squeeze every ounce
of Summer from August.
Summer is always too short for me......
While looking through new books at the shop & I just
fell in love with everything about this book....
Girl's World by Jennifer Paganelli
"Twenty-One sewing projects to make for little girls"
I have been spending some time with a few special little girls
of my own this summer & I can feel some sewing
must haves in the pages of this book.
Seriously..... it looks and reads like a delicious gourmet cupcake!
The photos' are exquisite & the clothing and other projects
just make you happy to be a girl!

Forgive me viewers, it's been a week since my last confession. Er, I mean blog.
And it CAN'T be put down to time flying whilst I'm having fun!
I'm still feeling very fatigued but the headaches have eased a bit which is a real relief. I was taking one or two of my very strong prescription migraine drugs a day and it still wasn't getting rid of the headaches. Drying my hair is still a struggle though!
WI last night was a real damp squib - the scales were broken. They brought in a pair of ordinary bathroom scales but they showed that I lost a fraction under 8lbs - which sadly I'm pretty confident isn't true for several reasons: 1) on my scales at home it showed more like 1-2lbs (although my scales are bizarrely random and this would be a bitter disappointment) 2) I've not lost that much even in week 1 and 3) another girl lost 6lbs on them and she had only had small losses to date too - and had had pizza (although if you can lose 6lbs a week on pizza sign me up!). I'm not sure if the scales are being repaired or replaced but I do feel that you need to have the same scales all the time to really see what's going on. But if I have only lost 1-2lbs I will be devastated. I don't find this diet easy and therefore I want a decent pay off for it!
I also developed an aversion to the vegetable soup - I can literally feel my gorge rising, which is quite interesting as I've never known what a gorge was. I still don't know but I can certainly feel it hurtling up towards my mouth! I have to say I'm finding most of the packs difficult to get down (I suspect chocolate will be joining vegetable as intolerable) but I'm determined not to give in to my thoughts ("Maybe I could just do it on Bouillon and/or miso soup and stop the soup packs entirely"). I have decided however that on my birthday at the end of August I'm not going to make myself miserable on packs. I've read that you stay in ketosis if you have less than 50g carbohydrates so I thought I'd have a shake for breakfast, some ham for lunch and 2 chicken drumsticks and - bliss - a white nectarine in the evening. I think that sounds sensible. Of course it's the pschological damage it might do with wanting food. But I do anyway! B/f is very wary - he says if I break the diet after that I will have to re-pay him all the money he's contributed to my weekly fees. Fair enough I suppose. I have no intention of not sticking to the 100 days though - not least because we've booked the flights now for the first bit of our holiday in Turkey in October. What do you think about the birthday feast? Am I being sensible (in terms of indulgence) or delusional?
I had a horrid 'fat' experience last week. I was meeting b/f in the park and was early - and by some bizarre quirk of fate it wasn't raining. So I sat on a bench with my book. A middle aged woman came and sat on the other end of the bench. She was, I'm afraid, very badly dressed (opaque American tights with open toed ugly sandals for instance) and rather overweight - but not grossly so. Some young Meditteranean tourist boy came and sat in the middle and there was much laughing as his friend took a photo. I don't think I was being oversensitive that the intention was to show how unattractive British women were - a big joke. It really stung and I wished I'd got up and walked away. But you always think of these things AFTER the event.
On the plus side, one of my denim skirts is now too big to wear and my usual t-shirts look overly baggy and swamping (and therefore not flattering). The thing is that I find it quite hard to believe as - depending on the scales situation - I may not have even lost a stone yet (if my scales are right. SURELY I must have lost at least a stone in the first 3 weeks. Pleeeease.). And as I want to lose quite alot of weight (5 1/2 - 6 stone) that's not a significant proportion. But I am cautiously pleased. Fingers crossed for those new manual scales to be right all along - you would see the rare sight (on this diet) of me actually being very happy!

Although i would have liked more to this story, like Rhi believing the truth, becoming a part of little Ianto's life and helping to bring Ianto up, in reality what you have written is what would happen, Rhi not believing and thinking Jack crazy. Sometimes in life crazy ppl are the ones with the truth whether we want to believe them or not, our loss.
Love the interaction between Jack and little Ianto. :-)

You make me cry. You were always good at that. What a great story, I have to say. I really love your writing.

Excellent. I love people's reaction to TW always funny, never believing this strangeness to be true. Last chapter tomorrow yippee

Awesome chapter, thank goodness for
and Rhiannon are a perfect match. The way
they are acting,Jack has reason to worry
that Rhiannon would try to take baby Ianto

OMG, this is brilliant, maybe I'm wrong but I can
Understand Jack is feeling. But knowing Gwen she

A beeline straight to Rhiannon door. Totally ignoring

Her hand in mine, I never thought I would get hurt again.
I always thought she was my shield, but it was only an illusion.
We'll always get hurt.
Didn't ever suspect it,
But it was all a joke.
A swarm of clustered bodies,
all their eyes staring at me.
I am the joke.
Curling my arms around her,
it only attracted more people
That I hoped would drop like flies.
Can't find a friendly face,
Everyone who was on my team fled.
Shaking now, anger growing like a disease.
She had to hold my arms back,
keep me from strangling their throats.
They're only cowards.
One step forward, they take ten steps

Hello again and what a extraordinary week it's been! The weather has been improving and so has our finding results, although it has come at a cost. On Tuesday I went on an exchange with Elder Buchanan, another greenie serving in Duncan who is currently being trained by Elder Rolfson. I know sending out two greenies together sounds like a recipe for disaster right? Not if the Lord has anything to say about it. We were blessed with seven new investigators that day! :D From now on I will only tell you the names of the people we have had successful return appointments with since we have been fortunate to find a lot of people.
On Wednesday Elder Groeneveld and I split apart again with the zone leaders for another exchange. We tried stopping by to see Danny, one of our new investigators we found last week but her mother answered the door and told us that she was lying in bed sick. She said that her daughter knew the two of us were coming so she wanted us to come back another time. Of course, Elder Glover and I assumed she was just dropping us and had just lost interest, but when we got a phone call from Elder Duersch that evening, we were told that Elder Groeneveld had suddenly fallen ill and was lying in bed exhausted and fast asleep. We began to get the impression that Danny's mother told us the truth, especially since I suddenly recalled that Danny said she was feeling ill when we first met with her. Several other missionaries in our zone ended up getting sick one after another with the same symptoms this week. I (so far) have been perfectly healthy. :)
The following morning we met at a member's house for a service project as we exchanged back. The four of us had to pick up some wood that had been sawed up from a fallen tree and brought up a steep driveway in a wheel barrel. Most of these logs weighed 70-90 pounds. Despite getting a priesthood blessing from Elder Duersch before leaving the apartment, Elder Groeneveld showed up looking dreadful. However, once we began to work something happened. When Elder Groeneveld lifted the heavy logs, they would feel as he described, "as light as pillows!" It was remarkable to see how the priesthood blessed him as we worked for well over a couple hours bringing all that wood into the yard. My companion truly has incredible faith and he's been blessed for it that's for sure!
On Friday we finally went to Ladysmith! We tracted out on a nearby First Nations reserve and found another new investigator. Many First Nations people are easy to find because they are very spiritual people. They can really feel the spirit when you speak to them, especially about the Book of Mormon and how it focuses on their ancestors and their dealings with God. The more we tracted in the town of Ladysmith, the more we began to realize that the town hadn't been as "untouched" by missionaries as we previously thought! There was a lot of friendly people there, but none of them were interested. We went home early that night so that Elder Groeneveld could get some more sleep.
Last week I forgot to mention how Brother B was doing. The answer is fantastic! He's come to church two weeks in a row and we've visited him a couple times. He's such a cool guy and he's rediscovering the joys of living the gospel. Hopefully we can get his wife interested in the gospel sometime too!
On Sunday after church, Elder Groeneveld and I went to take the sacrament to the Larsen family. Brother and Sister Larsen have been quite sick so they have been unable to come to church lately. After we gave them the sacrament, their daughter, M (who has been looking after her parents for a while and has been inactive for a really long time) said that she wanted to start going to church again! When her Mother heard these words she was very surprised and the two of them began to cry tears of joy together. It was quite a moment to witness and the spirit felt incredibly strong.
Later that evening we had a ward fireside. Us missionaries hosted the event and we read the principles from Preach My Gospel. We then showed examples of each of the principles by watching videos. It was a great event to take part in and we had some refreshments after!
That about sums up the week. Elder Groeneveld is feeling a lot better now. We should be going into Ladysmith again later this week so we'll see how that goes. We've had our challenges but boy is working through them ever rewarding! Love you all lots and it's always a pleasure writing to whoever may be following me on my adventures as a servant of our Lord.
Until next Monday,
Elder Maclean Samis

"How to get the best of it all?
One must conquer, achieve, get to the top;
one must know the end to be convinced that one can win the end - to know there's no dream that mustn't be dared...
Is this the summit, crowning the day?
How cool and quiet!
We're not exultant; but delighted, joyful; soberly astonished...
Have we vanquished an enemy? None but ourselves.
Have we gained success? That word means nothing here.
Have we won a kingdom? No... and yes.
We have achieved an ultimate satisfaction... fulfilled a destiny...
To struggle and to understand - never this last without the other;
such is the law..."
George Mallory

In the early weeks of the course we should be able to have close views of both drake and female Goosanders at an urban site - as long as it doesn't freeze over. If that happens they will desert the site!
We are also visiting a couple of sites which traditionally hold Bitterns during the winter, but we will be very lucky to get as close to this one, as a lucky class managed at Tophill Low in March 2010.
It is a great winter for Short-eared Owls, and we will be visiting at least 3 sites, which should hold hunting individuals - a very popular bird with all participants.
Short-eared Owl
Hen harriers aren't as numerous as Short-eared Owls, or as predictable, but we will be trying to see these at 2 locations. A good view of a male Hen Harrier would be a really special encounter.
Hen Harrier [female]
Drake Smews are one of the most popular aquatic birds seen during the winter months. We will be visiting the most reliable site for these birds, but this winter we are much more likely to see young or female birds, so-called Redheads.
Smew (c) 2012 Vince Cowell
One of the main focuses of the winter term are birds of prey - also known as raptors. If we are lucky we should enjoy views of Peregrine attacking large flocks of waders.
Peregrine (c) 2012 Vince Cowell
Small passerine birds are also on the menu, and one we should catch up are large flock of Lesser Redpolls. These may be accompanied by Siskins, and if we are very lucky there may be some Crossbills nearby.
Lesser Redpoll
One of the largest raptors we are likely to see, has become a much commoner sight in recent years. Hopefully, we will see these majestic birds soaring over our heads at a couple of locations.
Red Kite
Once we reach mid-February the birdsong will be becoming more obvious and we will pay special attention at attempting to differentiate the various species singing. One of the most beautiful songsters at this time of the year is the Woodlark, and hopefully we will be listening to 'Lulu' sing at a couple of venues.
Towards the end of term, and before the cliffs get too busy with humans, we will be trying to see Puffins, Razorbills, Guillemots, Gannets, Kittiwakes and Fulmars.

DICTATED Launch First Single and Artwork For New Album 'The Deceived'!
Dutch Death Metal commando DICTATED has launched it's landing page for the new album "The Deceived" to be released August, 15th via Metal Blade Records Head over to www.metalblade.com/dictated to check out the artwork and stream the first single "No Mercy for Cowards"
Comments DICTATED: "No retreat or step back! Check out 'No mercy for Cowards' from our upcoming album 'The Deceived'!
Track listing "The Deceived":
01. Forced Into Dismay
02. This is to All
03. No Absolution
04. The Basher
05. No Mercy For Cowards
06. Dispossession
07. The Deceived
08. Stonebreakers Rising
09. They Live, They Suffer, They Die
10. Rail Of Death
DICTATED is:
York Keijzer – vocals
Sonja Schuringa – guitars
Yessica Otten – guitars
Henri Sattler – (session) bass
Michiel vd Plicht – (session) drums
DICTATED history:
Once upon a time, the furious female guitar tandem Yessica Otten and Sonja Schuringa stumbled upon Michiel vd Plicht and Henri Sattler during a heavy drinking session. While Henri was hustling to sell the girls one of his custom-made SK Guitars they managed to talk business in creating the new DICTATED album.
On that very same night, vocalist York picked up the sense of success and after another night in the Irish pub, he was there to stay.
Forces joined together, the five of them took over the rehearsal rooms and Henri enslaved the others into writing at their utmost. Ten new songs were born with the help of an overload of sweat, beer and coffee.
In September 2013, DICTATED took over Studio Soundlodge for the recordings of their new album "The Deceived". In the meantime, various hilarious photo-shoots took place where friends and family of DICTATED found themselves back mutilated in the artwork.
Humour, some serious questionability of the sane mind and above all, determination and willpower produced the new story of DICTATED and "The Deceived".

On Halloween night 2007, I took my 20-month-old daughter, Calla, to the ER. She wasn't eating, wasn't drinking, was unsteady on her feet, and had become very lethargic. I assumed that she needed hydration, and may even be admitted. I never imagined that I would be told that she had a brain tumor. As a matter of fact, I had an out-of-body experience in that moment I learned of the "mass on her brain." I remember looking down onto the doctor and my own self, clutching a sleeping Calla in my arms.
Surgery to put in a drain for her brain….surgery to attempt to remove the large egg-sized mass….intense, inpatient rehabilitation….aggressive chemotherapy (and all the baggage that goes along with it)….radiation therapy….desparation….broken hearts….too many tears to count… But on the other hand, prayers from around the world….friends….new understandings of others and ourselves and God….caring souls….new friends….overcoming catastrophes together…
Calla is now 5 years old. Tumor-free! Cancer-free! A little spitfire, she is. My husband, Brad, and I are thankful for each day with Calla and her 6-year-old brother, Gus.

I'm really really tired. Really really really really tired. It's the aftermath of the final presentation. After three weeks of constant thinking and designing, the week after the presentation is bound to be a week of tireless sleeping, idle reading and music listening, it's like refilling the three week's absence of boredom.
DAP DAP, sikalang baru lu tau.
I told you many a time, DAP consists of racist twits who do not respect our constitution and culture.
I told you so.
I told you so.
We are not racist people, we malay. We go to chinese business establishment and get cheated and won't mind at all. Do you think for a second chinese people will even touch the tiles of a malay establishment? Maybe western-educated chinese in KL won't mind but not the rest of the lot. So when DAP decides to abolish NEP because they don't want race to become a barrier of a wholesome social and economic development, please anticipate the fact that the only people who will benefit from this is the chinese because malays are not prepared to survive in the chinese-dominated business atmosphere.
They can say whatever they want but Malaysia is very much a third world country with a third world mentality. A type of mentality where a privileged bunch of people can easily take advantage of the downtrodden. Where the priviledged can justify their hideous acts based on biased logic.
I told you so.

This is a quick card I put together for a person that is retiring from the research department where I work. He has been working there for many years and is a wonderful person. I will truly miss his silly antics and he always is armed with a joke. So I wanted to make him something personal since our lab is throwing him a going away party. This stamp is from Pollycraft - and the real name of the stamp is Maurice on the Ball - he was a freebie a while back and he holds a banner that says - Football. I decided to sumbitt him to the Pollycraft Challenge this week which was to add a bit of nature - which is the blue hemp twine.

Fraternity brothers can be seen employing various methods trying to keep him from rolling over or attempting to wake him up. They tried to coax him up, but he did not respond. All were arraigned in Centre County Court on Friday.
It was stated that Piazza fell multiple times during the night but none of the frat members contacted emergency services.
At around 10 a.m., the brothers found him down there. "Also, Tim Piazza might actually be a problem", a fraternity brother wrote in a group text, the Times reported. The next morning he fell down the same steps a second time, and was unconscious when help was finally summoned. "When he arrived at the hospital it was too late". For example, several brothers discussed deleting or actually deleted GroupMe messages.
Text messages reportedly recovered from Young's phone describe Piazza on February 3 as "in shock" and "on the verge of death".
DiBileo also suggested they call an ambulance but was told by Ryan Foster, another fraternity member who was charged, that Piazza would be fine and such things "typically occur on bid acceptance night", according to the grand jury. Hundreds of charges were lodged, the largest number of counts against a fraternity in recent history.
Eighteen Penn State students are facing charges: eight for involuntary manslaughter, aggravated assault, reckless endangerment, and hazing, among other charges; four for reckless endangerment and hazing, among other charges; and six for evidence tampering.
"They could get us for giving him alcohol that contributed to his death", he wrote. Eight frat brothers and the frat are accused of involuntary manslaughter.
Man arrested on suspicion of setting fires at Las Vegas synagogue
Investigators reviewed surveillance video that showed a man on the property at the time of both fires. Investigators then checked the parking lot of the shopping center across the street and found him.
In an interview with "Good Morning America" that aired Sunday, Beta Theta Pi brother Kordel Davis says despite his repeated pleas to call 911, no one did.
"The alleged details in the grand jury presentment, which suggest the inhumane treatment of a student forced through hazing to consume risky amounts of alcohol and endure hours of suffering, are sickening and hard to understand", it read. The presentment described a ceremony in which pledges were blindfolded, paddled, and forced to drink a mixture of food and drink left over in the frat's refrigerator.
When a fraternity brother insisted Piazza needed medical help, he was confronted and shoved into a wall, the report said. That drinking was directed by his soon to be fraternity.
The charges were announced hours before Penn State's board of trustees were scheduled to meet and as commencement was getting underway at the 46,000-student University Park campus. Joseph Ems is charged with recklessly endangering another person. "Our focus, as students, is leading the change Penn State needs to prevent a senseless tragedy like this from happening in the future". Horras said he is meeting with the Penn State president next month.
Defense attorneys for the students have said previously that fraternity members did not know Piazza was in danger but rather thought he was just drunk and would sleep it off.
And Beta Theta Pi International Fraternity said in a statement, "The nature of those charges are incredibly disheartening as the organization and its membership continue to grieve Tim's passing and the pain experienced by his family".
Penn State revoked the fraternity's charter in mid-February over the incident, and implemented a permanent ban in March.

Alcoa bounced over $14.
The last option trade of the $12.50 Jan puts is in the money by about 2%. We will leave this trade in place for awhile longer to try to get at least another 1% return.
Sold Jan $15 calls against the 1/2 position @$.35c for over a 2% yield on this position over 7 weeks. (nearly 15% annualized)
Bull case - Alcoa continues to rise over $15 resulting in both option trades expiring at full return and the core position being called away potentially limiting profits.
Target return - The stock settles in near $14 and both options can be closed at a profit.
Bear case - stock falls below $12.5 and will be forced to acquire the other half position at $12.5 less the profits from options.

gimme more of that plz? :3 i didnt see many other yaoi ones int hat site though, know of any?
Ooh.. It hurts to look at. I can feel a creepy tingle along my right arm...
Damn, that's one way to get a dydoe and a deep-shaft piercing done. I've heard of extreme piercings, but using meat hooks to achieve that goal? Daaaaamn.
Can you really turn every limb into a stump so they'll be a sex slave?
I guess... but you shouldn't. There are cops and some of us have morals. Plus, some people can't handle a pet. It's a lot of responsibility ya know.. o-o
Chib is trans-quadriplegic, plz no oppress
be mine <3
read that entire manga.... WTF but it needs more sex and yaoi preferably and if you think that looking at these images is enough to make you slightly uneasy don't read the entire manga that he read its mostly just an immortal girl who gets gurofied and shit that eventually dies.
Nice spoiler there bruh. Mai-chan is a great manga both fap wise and plot wise. Plus shotacon, guro and other goodie stuff.
If you guys are running low on stuff, could always check out e621.net
Lol I go there a lot
I bring tithing for the great Nemi *3*
For thoes that dont know the extremely hansom man kissing johnathan jodstar's severed head, IT WAS ME DIO!
God damnit Dio
Dio appears when he's least expected..
this one should just be erased imo. To much to it and its relatable. I'd have taken a death by starvation. This post in particular should be burned. The rest of the guro was fine. Just yours deeply bothered me and ive been around in the guro scene since around 2009. None have bothered me quiet like this........
Eh, its not the worst I've seen and I'm not into guro.Kinda dislike it in general honestly, but eh.
I mean, it's a couple that signs up to be put into slavery because of financial reasons.Sure the financial reasons make it a lot more human and relatable but that doesn't change the fact that it's content graphically is fairly minor for guro.
Also this is meant to be a place you can post porn without any restrictions ,in terms of graphicness, so if you dislike something just go past it.
I dislike the pic too lol...But the majority of pics here bother me a little and I made the thread.So....no sassing the pics.
ya but i have personally experiance starving before. So it really hit home. I think I would rather have died if there was starving and this option. Its beyond distrubing to me. Had to take a shot of vodka to kill the memories and the rage this thing was making me feel from bothering me to much. Now then im gonna resume trying to forget this comic. I think i need another shot or 2
Pfft please, I actually saw something a few days ago by accident......I refuse to go back and find it but it was a real life gif....basically....it made me make a whole thread about masturbation safety then stop because i got bored.....Like not putting breakable things in yah butt.......the gif i saw was terrible and if you get what I'm saying then you can imagine how terrible it was for meh x.x...Wasn't even looking up porn i was on encyclopedia dramatica...(they had the only info on a person i was googling)So I get the whole disturbing pics thing, and what i saw was more disturbing to me cause it was an actual thing that happened i guess.
But the point is you can't just say 'this is where it went to far' on a thread like this one.Realistically the only limits on this thread are no straight stuff.And I'm actually going to make a Bisexual pics thread at some point or another.
The point is yes you find it disturbing, but many would fine every pic in this thread disturbing and for most, myself included, it is.But just because it makes you feel disturbed isn't an argument for removing it.
I understand how its more disturbing than plain guro, but thats not a reason to get rid of it.

Moving to College
College moving tips
You studied hard, took placement exams and spent hours filling out applications, and your hard work has finally paid off: you've been accepted to college. You breathe a sigh of relief, celebrate with friends and family and start dreaming about your first year on campus. You have so many plans, but there's a lot to do before you move — how will you get everything done?
Preparing for college
If you're preparing for your first semester away from home (or even returning to campus for another year), there are a few steps to take before you leave. Get the year off to a good start by making sure you:
- Complete all paperwork. Be sure last-minute details like choosing a meal plan are done, and check that you've filled out all the forms the university needs. If you're interested in joining any student organizations, look online or call to see if there are any applications to fill out before you get to campus.
- Call the housing office. Give them a call to confirm your dorm assignment and make sure you actually have a place to live. This is also a great time to ask about your move-in date, find out the dimensions of the room and learn who your roommate will be.
- Talk to your roommate. If you don't know your future roommate, add them on social media or send them an email. Now is a great time to learn more about the person you'll be living with.
Getting these things done as soon as possible will make the transition to college much easier. This way, you won't have to worry about where to go on move-in day and you can get started on other things like shopping for your dorm room.
The best way to pack for college
Most college living spaces are pretty small, so deciding what to take with you can be a bit of a challenge. You want to make sure you have the comforts of home, but you don't want to pack things you won't have room for. These tips will help you decide what to take and help you get everything to college safely:
Dorm shopping
Wondering what you need to bring with you? Use a college packing list to make sure nothing is overlooked. Just print it off and keep it with you throughout the process. This college checklist outlines everything you'll need for the bedroom, bathroom and even your medicine cabinet.
Packing tips
Once you have your dorm room supplies, it's time to start packing. Take the time to make sure your items are handled properly — spending a few extra minutes will help everything stay safe during transit. Always be sure to:
- Use quality moving boxes and supplies
- Pack heavy items in small boxes
- Wrap breakable items
- Label boxes well
For additional tips, check out this helpful packing guide.
Cheapest way to move to college
Now that you've figured out everything you need to take to college, you need to decide how you're going to get it there (preferably without spending a fortune). One affordable option is to load up a car with all your stuff and take it to campus — a fairly easy process if you're not moving far from home. But if your college is in another state, you may need to move your belongings another way. Choosing the right student moving service is easier once you understand the options.
Service options
There are a few different opinions about the cheapest way to move to college. Some people recommend using a rental truck, while others suggest shipping a couple of boxes and buying the rest of the items once you arrive. While either could work, many students find that rental trucks are too large for the amount they need to move (and are difficult to maneuver around campus), and shipping some items and buying others winds up costing more than they thought. That leaves you with a third option: U-Pack®.
U-Pack is great for students moving to college in another state. The prices are comparable to truck rental, but we do the driving! Our moving containers (called ReloCubes) are ideal for students — one ReloCubeTM typically holds the contents of a studio apartment or dorm, and it fits in a standard parking spot. There is no truck to drive, no equipment to return across town and nothing to buy upon arrival. U-Pack has fast transit times, averaging 2-5 business days, and there is no deposit or down payment required, which is great for a student on a budget.
Get a quote from each company you're considering so you can compare prices.
Choosing reliable college movers
Although finding a cheap mover is always ideal, it's also important to find a reliable service so you don't fall for a moving scam. There are two easy ways to do this: read the moving quote carefully, and research the company.
It's important to fully understand all estimated charges on the quote and know what circumstances may cause the price to change so you aren't surprised by the final cost. You should also take a look at what other customers have to say before making a final decision. Websites such as Yelp and Kudzu are great places to find consumer reviews. If you find any red flags on the quote or online, consider using a different company.
Move-in day advice
The day you move in to your dorm is very busy. Not only will you be unpacking and arranging the room, you'll also be meeting your roommate, getting to know other people in the dorm and saying goodbye to your family. To help make the day a success, be sure to:
- Eat a good breakfast. Get the energy you need to make it through the morning by eating a healthy meal.
- Leave early. Give yourself plenty of time to get to campus for your move-in appointment. Traffic will most likely be heavier than normal, and some roads may be closed around the campus.
- Stay hydrated. Be sure to take plenty of breaks to drink water. The last thing you need is a headache!
Follow these other college move-in day tips to help make the process go as smoothly as possible:
Unloading tips
- Stick to the schedule. Universities go to great lengths to make sure moving in is organized. Make it easy by following the schedule they give you. Talk to your admissions counselor or resident life director if you're unsure of the plans.
- Plan your path. If your dorm has an elevator, it may be the best way to carry big items to your floor. However, because the elevator will often be busy, it's a good idea to use the stairs when possible.
- Watch your stuff. Dorm managers will sometimes ask you to unload near the dorm, park the car somewhere else, then come back to carry everything inside. If this happens, make sure to ask someone you trust to watch everything while you park the car. Keep track of your things while you're in the room, too, especially if the door is being left open.
Dorm room tips
- Put function first. Before you start unpacking personal items, make sure you and your roommate have the furniture just the way you want it. Getting the big items in place before unpacking the smaller stuff will make the process easier.
- Keep it clean. Bring paper towels and cleaning supplies so you can wipe everything down and sweep the floor before unpacking.
- Bring a fan. Since you'll likely be moving in during the last part of the summer, it will be hot. And dorm rooms can get stuffy. So, be sure to bring a fan to keep cool.

Developers could be reimbursed for building the roads and other services needed to win approval for their projects, under a policy that may be included in Palm Beach County`s blueprint for growth.
In areas with a backlog of needed roads or utilities, developers could build them and be repaid when the county is scheduled to do the work, according to the proposal.
Under the county`s present growth-control ordinance, developers are not reimbursed when they improve roads to bring their projects in line with county traffic standards, said Allan Ennis, development review engineer for the county`s traffic division.
``This could be a win-win situation,`` Assistant County Administrator Sam Shannon said. ``The advantage to the developer is he can go forward at this time. And citizens who use the road could get it earlier.``
Though they would be repaid for providing backlogged services, developers still must pay impact fees for new construction to ensure that the service demands they create are met.
Without the roads and other services in place to meet growth demands, development may not proceed, according to the state`s Growth Management Act. By 1991, communities must show that services are in place before new residents and businesses arrive.
County commissioners will get their first look at the proposal and other suggestions for the county`s comprehensive land-use plan at 2 p.m. today. The meeting will take place at the county`s Central Library, 3650 Summit Blvd., west of West Palm Beach.
Representatives of the county`s development industry called the proposed repayment plan a positive move. ``We have argued that point for years,`` zoning attorney Martin Perry said.

Cook County Commissioner Richard Boykin (D-1st), who represents Oak Park, has named another Oak Park resident to succeed former Oak Park Trustee Adam Salzman as his chief of staff.
Boykin announced the appointment of Kouri Marshall to the position in a press release on April 17.
Marshall served most recently as executive director of Democratic GAIN – a 501(c)(6) organization "for progressive political professionals and organizations" according to the group's website – since June 2015.
Democratic GAIN noted in a press release announcing his 2015 appointment that Marshall had previously served as a senior advisor to Washington, D.C., Councilmember Tommy Wells and also served as a campaign manager for D.C. Councilmember Anita Bonds.
Marshall also served as the D.C. director for the re-election campaign of President Barack Obama and as a regional field director for the Truman National Security Project clean energy campaign.
Marshall also is the founding principal of 3K1A Strategies, a Washington, D.C.-based political strategies and public affairs firm.
"I'm thrilled to have Kouri come on board," Boykin said in the press release. "He brings years of leadership experience at the federal and municipal level, and he will serve the 1st District and Cook County well."
Marshall was named a "2016 Rising Star" by Campaigns & Elections magazine for, according to the magazine, "working to build the party's talent base with an eye toward increasing diversity in the ranks of campaign operatives. A former Obama organizer, Marshall ran Obama for America in the District of Columbia in 2012, helping to recruit and mobilize thousands of D.C.-based volunteers into the battleground state of Virginia to push the Obama campaign's effort there."
Boykin stated in his press release that Marshall earned a master's degree in public administration from Southern Illinois University in Carbondale.
He succeeds Salzman, who resigned as Boykin's chief of staff in November, after about a year and a half in the position.
Salzman resigned as Oak Park trustee in February for a job as executive director of Chicago Legal Clinic.

Among Richard Boykin's talents is the ability to sport and recruit talent. Kouri Marshal sounds like a great choice to succeed the very talented Adam Salzman. I and the board of The North Avenue District look forward to working with him.

|RAPAPORT… The International Gemological Institute (IGI) signed an education agreement with Fudan University's Shanghai Institute of Visual Art that calls for IGI and the university to develop new gemological programs as part of its jewelry design curriculum. The new courses will be offered as early as the third quarter of 2010.
"This is significant inasmuch as IGI's expertise and its worldwide position is recognized by a world-class Chinese institution," said Marc Brauner, IGI's co-chief executive officer (CEO) in Hong Kong. "Last year, after IGI's nationwide education series targeting the private sector, we were invited to host some pilot classes at the Institute for jewelry design students. That turned out to be so successful that IGI and the institute decided to explore further cooperation."
IGI, which has offered educational programs since 1981, now also provides its students the option of pursuing an IGI Graduate Gemologist Diploma. The institute's programs are offered in over 12 countries today, including India, China, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Italy, Turkey and Belgium.
In China, IGI courses are offered through the Shanghai Vocational Center, which has produced 400 graduates since the center began hosting the program in 2000. As China emerged as a major growth market for diamonds, its consumers demanded more accurate and complete information about what they were buying. That process, in turn, obliged jewelers to upgrade their professional skills.
"There is a notable market demand for gemological courses developed by international labs like ours," said Brauner. He explained that IGI had been approached by a number of universities "so we are naturally honored to have established ties with an institution of the caliber of Shanghai Institute of Visual Art at Fudan University."

Be sure you click on the photo to see the detailsLast week while reading through the post on a blog called Paddle Tales, I found myself feeling a little jealous. I thought, I wish I could paddle down the river and find all this wonderful beauty to take photo's of. I also thought it will never happen. I am afraid of water and have been since I was two years old.
My feeble senior brain kicked in when I found my pods and berries folder. I don't NEED to go on the river, I can WALK and find beauty. Most of the pictures were taken on walks with Diane through the woods on cool, crisp mornings. We met at dawn and waited for daylight. As we walked, we discovered tiny small things on every side of us. the berries in the above pictures are no bigger than a BB, but look what the camera shows us. Itty Bitty beauty and marvelous colors.
Beauty, small and perfect, found sprouting out of a tree trunk.
Seed pods at Emerson Point park, ugly and beautiful.
I took my camera to work the next morning after I saw wonderful Magnolia blossoms on the trees in the median. At lunch time I ignored the stares as i walked in the median with my camera. Disapointed, I found the flowers were wilted and turning brown, not what they were they day before. Then I realized I was looking at perfect little seeds.
The earth if full of your possessions, this great and wide sea, in which are innumerable teeming things, living things both SMALL and GREAT.

Walsall probably isn't the first place that springs to mind when thinking about the UK's growth engines.
At first glance, it looks like Chancellor George Osborne's vision of a country "carried aloft by the march of the makers" hasn't quite reached this Midlands town.
Scars left by the 2008 financial crisis are still visible. Boarded-up shops line the side roads, while part of a sign that marks the railway station has been worn away to read "Walsa".
The high street is home to not one, but two Poundland stores, while a former travel agency has been replaced by "Tan Tropez", a tanning and beauty shop. It's a sign of the times. People may not be able to afford to go on holiday, but at least they can scrape enough money together to look like they have.
But while some traditional high street stores have disappeared, a few miles away, the businesses that gave the Black Country its name continue to thrive.
A wide range of products are made in the area, which is still known for its heavy industry, leather goods and saddle makers. Even the Queen gets her handbags made here.
Today, more than 100,000 manufacturing companies across the UK employ around 2.5m workers, which power about a tenth of UK growth.
David Parker has run Walsall-based Metafin for more than a decade following the death of his friend David Bundy and son Paul. Every year, 15 million car parts and roof racks pass through the plant, which are electroplated, powder coated and made robust enough to be used in vehicles around the world.
The company has survived several recessions. The last downturn in 2008 was one of the hardest, and Metafin saw its turnover fall from £400,000 a month to just £80,000. Staff were fired and at one point Parker was on the shop floor every weekend hanging parts on the plant.
The experience has enforced his ethos of running a tight ship, and he remains cautious about spending money. But Metafin is also a business that is ready for change. The company is moving to a new £800,000 site and buying new equipment, the first of which - a state-of-the-art powder coating machine from Switzerland - is being delivered this week at the cost of £600,000.
While Parker says the Government's decision to increase capital allowances is a step in the right direction, he adds that once the annual investment allowance (AIA) - which allows companies to offset their investment against other profits and reduce their corporation tax bill, falls from £500,000 a year to £25,000 at the end of 2015 - it will do "absolutely nothing" to help his business.
"The Government could certainly give more tax breaks in the Autumn Statement, certainly on investment," he says. "A small company like ours are allowed £500,000. One machine which I'm buying on Wednesday costs £600,000 alone, and then if you take all the auxiliary stuff that goes alongside that, we're probably looking on to spend £750,000.
"If they gave 100pc capital allowances across the board it would encourage investment in the UK big style. In the last three years I've paid £240,000, £140,000 and £110,000 in corporation tax. If they'd given me some of that back I would have been twelve months ahead in our business plan. That would have meant more jobs twelve months sooner. And it would allow me to invest more every year."

This sentiment is shared by Len Sandford, whose pipe fittings business that serves the oil industry is based less than five miles down the road in Aldridge. Space is limited at Valen Fittings, which makes being efficient even more important. Every product that Valen makes is cut, moulded and shipped out of the factory within seven days to places as far flung as Azerbaijan, Norway and America.
Efficiency is part of the reason why Sandford has invested £4m in new machinery and research and development, including a giant metal pressing machine that forms the centrepiece of Valen's new wing. "I was planning to do the investment anyway, but suddenly we were in an environment where it was looking good to get it done now. The capital allowances were suddenly looking very very generous. So I thought why not, let's take the plunge."
For Sandford's bank manager, this has all been triggered by one nebulous but all-important factor: confidence. "This year has been our strongest in terms of supporting capital spending for plant and machinery," says Wayne Taylor, director of Barclays' Black Country division. "It's been that word, 'confidence'. Sometimes it's also just to keep up with whatever industry you're in. You've got to do it or you fall behind."
Getting to that sweet spot where even the most risk averse investor is ready to put their hand in their pocket is rare. Official growth figures last week showing a contraction in business investment in the third quarter last week highlighted just how sensitive businesses are to economic developments.
Britain's business rates system is also under fire. Rates are due to rise by 2.3pc next April – in line with September's retail prices index (RPI) inflation increase. Sandford argues that it would make more sense to uprate the tax by the consumer prices index (CPI), which rose by 1.2pc in September.
Len Sandford's £4m investment includes this huge metal pressing machine (Photo: Valen Fittings)
"It would be great if we could associate rate rises with the general rate of inflation. I have a natural aversion to business rates, because I pay a lot, but I don't get any services, I pay to get all my own refuse removed. I pay different authorities for my water. The only thing I get from the local council is they occasionally come down with a big lorry with a tank on the back and they clean the drains on the road. For that they get between £30,000 and £40,000 off me."
The sentiment is the same at Metafin, where Parker brands business rates an "unnecessary evil".
Parker highlights the extent of Vladimir Putin's reach on UK business. He says ongoing tensions between Russia's president and the West has reduced trade by around 10pc because people are holding on to their commercial vehicles instead of selling them to Ukraine and Russia, which he says represents the biggest commercial second hand vehicle market in the world.
Parker and Sandford are also keen to quash the notion that manufacturers are scared of interest rate rises. Both companies are cash rich, and would not be affected if borrowing costs went up. While the bulk of both firms' trade is overseas, suggesting that rate rises would be unfavourable because they would push up the pound and make UK exports less competitive, both feel they can weather the storm.
"Interest rates don't bother me except that it would be nice to have some," says Sandford. "Anyone who is sitting on any money doesn't get any interest from it. I have been a prudent saver. We've had good years and bad years. We know we've had to budget for a bad year, so we've maintained a reasonable cash balance for quite a few years now. So an interest rate rise would provide another plus figure on my balance sheet."
Mike Rigby, head of manufacturing at Barclays, says most manufacturers are unconcerned about rate rises. "Manufacturers are typically low levered, with no debt, if not net cash. So for them a rise in interest rates only creates growth for the economy and is a positive for the sector."
A bigger burden is the growing amount of red tape that has been imposed on companies, many of which are competing on the global stage. "The amount of EU regulation and government diktats is astonishing," says Sandford. "We've just had a ruling around average pay for holidays. Small companies are affected and it could potentially ruin them."
Sandford's comments also offer an insight into the reasons behind Ukip's victory at the Rochester and Strood and Clacton by-elections.
His mistrust of government highlights a continuing concern for both the Conservative and Labour parties.
Asked how he would vote if there was a referendum on EU membership tomorrow, Sandford replies: "I'd vote to stay, but I'd probably vote Ukip just to shake the b------ up in the knowledge that they wouldn't do anything for a period just the same as everyone else."

WASHINGTON -- The Supreme Court yesterday declined to review the legality of an indirect Texas tax on self-insured employee benefit plans, leaving intact a federal appeals court ruling that the state must refund any money collected under the levy.
The case is one of a slew presented to the court this term that could affect state finances nationwide.
In striking down the Texas tax in May, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit ruled that the levy is preempted by federal law and must be refunded.
The fifth circuit's ruling had been set aside temporarily under a stay granted in August by Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, who at the time said it was "probable" the high court would vote to hear arguments in the case and added there was "a substantial possibility" the lower court ruling would be overturned.
The justices offered no explanation for their decision not to review the case, which arose in 1988 after Texas began enforcing its Administrative Services TAx Act.
The law levies a tax on any fees received for administrative services performed by licensed insurance companies and others under administrative services contracts on behalf of health benefit plans.
La Quinta Motor Inns Inc., as well as E-Systems Inc. Group Hospital Medical & Surgical Insurance Plan, challenged the tax, saying it was preempted by the federal Employee Retirement Income Security Act, which prohibits states from regulating employee benefit plans.
Texas officials argued the plaintiffs should not be allowed to bring suit in federal court because of the federal Tax Injunction Act, which requires, in general, that challenges to state taxes be brought in state courts.
A federal district court, however, sided with La Quinta and E-Systems, ruling that the federal retirement law supersedes the injunction law. The court then determined that taxing the providers of administrative services ultimately would increase costs or reduce benefits for those covered by benefit plans, an outcome in conflict with the employment retirement law. The fifth circuit concurred.
In other action yesterday, the Supreme Court also declined to review an Arkansas Supreme Court ruling upholding the constitutionality of the state's gross receipts tax as applied to telephone services.
In the case, Bosworth v. Leathers, the Arkansas court upheld the tax even though the state excludes wide area telecommunications service, better known as WATS, while subjecting regular interstate long-distance services to the tax. The plaintiffs challenged the WATS exemption as a violation of the Constitution's equal protection clause.
Justice Sandra Day O'Connor did not take any part in the court's decision not to hear arguments in the case. The court did not say why.
Though the court yesterday declined to review the Texas and Arkansas tax cases, producing mixed results for state coffers, the court last Wednesday agreed to decide the constitutionality of taxes in New Jersey and Kansas. Because both states had won before lower courts, the Supreme Court's decision to hear the disputes signals the justices may be willing to draw boundaries on permissible areas for state taxation.
In the New Jersey case, Allied-Signal Inc. v. Division of Taxation, the court will decide whether states can tax the income earned by out-of-state corporations on their investments in other corporations.
Allied, a successor to the Bendix Corp., a Michigan-based manufacturer, sold a minority investment in a metal-mining firm unrelated to its business operations for a capital gain of roughly $211.5 million.
New Jersey's corporate business tax measures a firm's entire net income, regardless of its connection to the state. Consequently, the state tax division concluded that Allied's sale was subject to the tax. The New Jersey Tax Court, the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New Jersey, and the New Jersey Supreme Court agreed with the tax division.
In the other case, Barker v. Kansas, the court will decide whether states can tax the retirement benefits of federal military retirees while exempting from taxation benefits paid to retired state and local employees.
The case is similar to Davis v. Michigan, a dispute the high court decided in 1989 by ruling that states cannot impose higher taxes on the retirement benefits of former federal workers than they do on former state employees.
Despite the Davis ruling, a Kansas district court and the state supreme court both ruled the tax constitutional.

Unless you've been in education, I'm not sure one can fully understand what it is like for educators during the 180+ school days. My best analogy would be akin to a roller coaster on repeat.
You sit down and prepare for the ride. Everything is calm. There is a bit of excitement in the air for the upcoming school year. You know what the year will bring. You've seen it before. The safety ride workers come by to make sure you're securely fastened. They spend less than two seconds on this very important part of the trip. Just a quick look, perhaps they pull on the harness a bit, and then they move on to the next person.
You're sitting next to a friend but it just as well could be someone you've never met. You give a "here goes nothing" glance to your seatmate. They smile back. Perhaps they're a veteran for this ride. It could be their first time trying it out. Somewhere amidst the seats, there's a rather talkative individual, sharing their excitement and how they always love the roller coaster experience. Their examples of this "excitement" are beginning to make you question whether or not you want to take this ride after all. Before you can make up your ride, you start to move. The first day of school has begun and the kids are piling into your classroom. It is too late now. Hold on.
It's a slow climb to the top of the tracks. Everyone is pretty excited. The clicking and clanging of the climb is helping build the excitement. Everyone is still getting along. There's a sense of energy in the air. The first time rider is a bit clueless for what's about to begin. The veteran teacher is hinting about the upcoming fall. You're not questioning yourself just yet. This is one of the nicer parts of the ride.
And then it happens. Since you're sitting a bit towards the middle, you see the the riders in the front disappear. You're not sure where they went. You can only hear their screams. Maybe it's the first test they gave with the follow up flood of parent emails about why their student received a B- on the assessment. Maybe it's the departure of a beloved assistant principal who has announced they're leaving the district for a promotion elsewhere. Maybe their three month old twin boys aren't sleeping through the night and they're running on less than empty. Whatever their reason, you're quickly approaching the drop and know you're going to experience the same shortly.
You do. The roller coaster crosses the apex and falls fast toward oblivion. You have your hands clutching the side rails, just hoping for a bit of life-saving security. Your seatmate has their hands in the air and is screaming loudly, perhaps with excitement, maybe with a bit of fear. Who is this guy? You look past ahead of the bouncing heads in front of you and realize that the drop is about to end. You breathe a bit and think you'll be able to catch your breather. You're wrong.
Next thing you know, you're at a forty five degree angle as the roller coaster speeds through a turn. You look to your left and realize your head is about four feet from a murky swamp. Truthfully, you consider your options at this point. How bad would it be to slither out of your harness and drop quietly into the brownish-green waters? You could always say it was an accident and no one would think twice.
Before you can make your decision, the roller coaster is picking up speed and is entering the corkscrew portion of the ride. Your head jostles back and forth. Your eyes react as if they've been struck by a taser. Your mouth and chin tense, giving the impression that you're trying out to play the role of the Joker in the next Batman flick. In the education world, we call this the month of March.
There's a short lull during the ride as you begin to climb once more toward the final descent. The other riders are in various states of euphoria and chaos. The veteran to your right begins talking about how they're never going to ride a roller coaster again. The first time rider a few seats ahead of you is looking around, wondering if their feelings of helplessness and hopelessness are normal. You just continue to hold on, brave through the requests for last minute extra credit, and progress toward the finish line.
Finally. It's here. The roller coaster pulls into its final destination, a place that looks oddly familiar to where you began your ride. True educators, however, don't always get to get off this roller coaster. They've got an upcoming conference next weekend to learn about the new math curriculum. There's an administrative retreat to help you start your planning for the upcoming year. Next year's master schedule needs to be finalized and have all 1,050 students imported into their classes for the next roller coaster ride.
This year, however, it's a bit different for me. I'm getting off the roller coaster for the next few weeks. I'm logging off, powering down, and spending a few extra moments with my family and also just by myself. This year's roller coaster ride was a long one with lots of twists and turns. As a principal who tries to provide 24-7 support through late night email responses, texting replies, NextDoor support, constant community communication, and just everything else I can during the school year, I'm going to take what I think is a much needed and well deserved break from it all. I'm posting my "away for the summer" vacation response for my work email and doing my best to limit my work-related activities over the few weeks. I hope every other educator out there gets their well-deserved rest from the roller coaster world of education we live in. You've earned it.

Friday night started out really well. I got to the race track at a good time. My car passed the safety inspection. I timed in with the second fastest time in my class. That means I started the trophy dash in the back of the pack (they do inverted starts here with the fastest cars in the back). I finished that race second (out of 6 cars).
Again, for the heat race, I started in the back of the pack. This time, I made it past everyone and won the race. Things were going really well. We'd adjusted air pressures in the tire and I'm getting a better feel for what the car needs to get around the track quicker.
So we get started in the main. The last race of the night. I was in third place and really pushing the guy in second (not literally). I was a little faster and just waiting for the right moment, when he'd bobble a little and leave me enough space to get past. As we went into Turn 1, he slid up just a little and I darted into the open slot below him - just as he recovered and decided he wanted to drive in that same patch of asphalt. We banged side to side - no damage, no loss of control - and kept racing.
I'm now in second, and I just had my first contact with another car. I didn't really know the guy and wasn't sure how he was going to respond. As the laps wound down, I got to thinking a lot more about where he was behind me and less about keeping my car on the the right line around the track. Honestly, I was afraid he might retaliate and try to spin me, so I moved up on the track a little bit to make sure there was plenty of room if he thought he could pass.
The problem is... someone had spilled a bunch of oil up high and there was still a lot of track dry up there. Track dry is great for soaking up oil off of asphalt. It's lousy for creating traction on asphalt. I started to slide around turn 4 and slid right into the wall. My first crash!!! The front end's all bent out of shape and the car wouldn't start back up because the battery cable actually popped off the terminal on impact. My night was done, but the car should be ok. I should be able to get it bent back into shape (mostly) by this Friday night and be back out there. Fun, fun, fun...
