Did you know Maruchan "Double Ramen" is a Hokkaido-limited product?
Maruchan's "Yakisoba Bento" is famous as a Hokkaido-limited product but did you know that "Double Ramen" is also a Hokkaido-limited product? Why is it sold only in Hokkaido? Do people outside of Hokkaido know about "Double Ramen"?
Table of Contents- What is Maruchan "Double Ramen"?
- How was Double Ramen developed?
- There was only soy sauce flavor at first; Miso and salt flavors came later
- Let's try Double Ramen soy sauce!
What is Maruchan "Double Ramen"?Maruchan "Double Ramen" is an instant noodle sold from Toyo Suisan.
You can easily find Double Ramen at supermarkets if you live in Hokkaido and many people buy the ramen for stocks.
"Why do you highlight Double Ramen?" Some people may think like that.
▲Maruchan's Double Ramen. From the left: soy sauce, miso, and salt. I, Takako Chiba the chief editor of Hokkaido Likers, did not know that Double Ramen was a Hokkaido-limited product until summer 2018… I should study more.

However, this is not a national instant noodle.
Because Maruchan's "Double Ramen" is limitedly sold in Hokkaido.
Furthermore, it contains two portions (double) in a package!
It's not two small chunks of noodles. It contains two regular-sized noodles (85g) in one package.
Toyo Suisan produces many kinds of instant noodles such as "Maruchan Seimen" and "Yatai Juhachiban," but Hokkaido-limited "Double Ramen" is the only product which contains two portions in one package.
How was Double Ramen developed?As soon as I learned Double Ramen is a Hokkaido-limited product, I contacted Toyo Suisan to ask about the truth. However, their answer at first was that they do not have many resources about the product because it's a Hokkaido-limited product with quite a long history.
Toyo Suisan, which was established in 1953, developed Double Ramen in 1964. It was 54 years ago which means over a half century ago.
▲The picture of Maruchan's Double Ramen when it was first sold in 1964. This is a rare picture!
* Provided picture
They started selling the green packaged instant noodle "Tanuki Soba" in 1963, the year before Double Ramen came out.
They do not produce "Tanuki Soba" anymore, but it evolved into "Tempura Soba" (came out in 1970) and "Midori No Tanuki Tensoba" (came out in 1980) with its roots.
Also, they put "Tanuki Curry Udon" into the market in 1965, the year after Double Ramen came out.
This turned into "Curry Udon" with orange curtain designed on the package and had been loved for more than a half century.
Their Double Ramen has the same length of history with these nationally known long-seller products from Toyo Suisan.
It was developed because they opened the Sapporo factory in 1964.
▲Toyo Suisan's Hokkaido factory in Zenibako, Otaru City. Sapporo factory moved to Otaru in April 2014.
* Provided picture
"As it was 'developed by local researchers for local people and made in the factory in Sapporo', we planned to make it a Hokkaido-limited product from the beginning." (Toyo Suisan)
Then why did they put two portions in a package and made it "double"? They planned the product for people who want to eat more and people who share the ramen with someone else.
Toyo Suisan's researchers in Hokkaido developed the product for locals, produced in Hokkaido factory, and put some money-saving aspect in it. It contains a lot of love towards Hokkaido. That is Double Ramen.
There was only soy sauce flavor at first; Miso and salt flavors came laterEach flavor of Double Ramen, soy sauce, miso, and salt, came out at different timings:
Double Ramen soy sauce September 1964
Double Ramen miso January 1875
Double Ramen salt January 1998
Why didn't they make all at once? When they put the first flavor, soy sauce, into the market, it did not have the name of flavor on the package. It was just called "Double Ramen."
They received customers' voice to wish for miso flavor eventually, as they are based in Hokkaido. So they developed "Double Ramen Miso" and put out in the market in 1975. If there is a miso flavor, the product called Double Ramen until then became to be called "Double Ramen soy sauce."
After that, the request for salt flavor rose because there were soy sauce and miso flavors. They put "Double Ramen salt" into the market in 1998.
Let's try Double Ramen soy sauce!Let's try "Double Ramen soy sauce!" However, there is no special thing about it. It's a usual delicious instant noodle,
▲Double Ramen soy sauce
▲There are two portions of noodles and soup.
▲The cooking process is the same as usual instant noodles.
The smooth noodles are easy to chew, and I could have this forever. The soup is a light soy sauce flavor with potherbs and spices.
▲The Double Ramen for one person.
Double Ramen is the best to have when you are too hungry that one package of instant ramen won't fill.
And don't you think that Double Ramen is good value for money with two portions when you compare the prices?
Maruchan Seimen soy sauce 105g (noodles 80g) Recommended retail price: 105 yen (w/o tax)
Shoyu Aji Ramen 100g (noodles 87g) Recommended retail price: 105 yen (w/o tax)
Yatai Juhachiban soy sauce 95g (noodles 80g) Recommended retail price: 105 yen (w/o tax)
Double Ramen sou sauce 182g (noodles 85g*2 portions) Recommended retail price: 138 yen (w/o tax)
* From Toyo Suisan official website
I asked Toyo Suisan why Double Ramen became a long-seller product since it came out.
"First, of course, there is a feeling of great value for money as it contains two portions. But more than that, the biggest reason is that it was developed for people in Hokkaido, and locals support the nostalgic flavor for a long time."
I can recommend Double Ramen for those who came to Hokkaido for sightseeing and looking for some unique souvenir.
You can easily find Double Ramen at supermarkets, etc.

Usually I would only let me hair dry naturally if I was planning to wear it curly and would blow dry using a paddle brush if I wanted it straight but with my new hair routine I want to dramatically reduce the amount of heat I use. To achieve this after I had put olive oil on my hair, I smoothed it down and scooped it into a bun at the nape of my neck.
It literally took all day to dry which was fine as we had a lazy day at home but this wouldn't be ideal on a normal day however I was really impressed with the end results. It wasn't too dissimilar to blow drying except the ends were still quite kinky but I was pleased with the results and will continue to use this tension method for now on, I am not sure how effective it will be once I have more regrowth but only time will tell.

Photo: Chihuly Glass Art Exhibition at the Desert Botanical Garden
I like the detail of these large, monumental pieces. An example is below. The artistry of making the glass is compounded by the planning, design and skill to assemble the many pieces to create a large piece like this.
The last time there was a Chihuly exhibition at the Desert Botanical Garden, they had a special fundraising campaign to purchase three of the pieces, which now permanently adorn the front entrance to the Garden. I wonder if they will do the same thing this time, and which piece(s) they will choose.

Dr Lennert Veerman and Dr Linda Cobiac, from UQ's School of Population Health, said removing the GST exemption could reduce people's consumption of fruit and vegetables by about 5 per cent.
Dr Veerman said not eating enough fruit and vegetables was associated with increases in the risk of heart disease, stroke and cancers of the lung, oesophagus, stomach and colon.
"We've estimated that adding GST to fruit and vegetables could add about 90,000 cases of heart disease, stroke and cancer over the lifetime of the current Australian population and add another billion dollars to the country's health care bill," Dr Veerman said.
He said that abolishing the GST exemption might also see people eat more of other, less healthy foods, compounding the problem.
"We could see quite complex shifts in people's diets making it very clear that the government should explicitly consider the potential health consequences before making changes to Australia's tax regime," Dr Veerman said.
The researchers' warning comes amid talk of the Federal Government broadening the base of the GST and Tony Abbott's commitment to producing a white paper on tax reforms before the next election.
Dr Veerman and Dr Cobiac have detailed their findings in a letter published in The Medical Journal of Australia today (14 October 2013).

How many pathways of the Psychology of Shortcuts ?
How many ways exist to access the best of YOUR inner best?
Considering the fifty-eighth entry into the Psychology of Shortcuts,
why would anyone develop such a fantastic network of millions of unique pages,
if they are all based on just 12,500 Psychology of Shortcuts PowerGem chapters?
Wise minds know that we each dance to the beat of a different drummer: Life is OUR choice.
Choosing to continue living in mediocrity, living in slavery to marketers and advertising,
a decision to live a life of mediocrity and tragically ignorant slavery to advertising and such,
deciding to live a life that outlasts the physical part, that is the decision no one else makes.
It is entirely and exclusively up to you which category you end up in at the end of your life.
Your perception of time is that of a dullard, nodding one's head foolishly at New Year's.
The only birthday worth celebrating is the one where you can count off your progress.
Stop thinking of years and "someday" and recognize that you get 25,000 days or so.
Some of us might see 1,000 good months; the first 20 dozen are but practice.
Use a pen or pencil with a piece of real paper. Count the days of your life.
Subtract what you know has to be taken off the list, ie: 8,000 for sleep.
Ow. Keep counting. See what's left. When you see your last numbers,
you have instant reason, power, and skill in how you will use them.
Spend your minutes, or invest your minutes. It is still YOUR choice.
Minutes and money can be compared until cows come home,
and yet, money can be replaced by asking people again.
Minutes cannot be regained or rebuilt by humans.
Therefore, seek your first profit in minutes.
1,440 opportunities - minutes - every day.
A tiny percent of saving your minutes,
yields a thousand profits and more.
Never pretend to know better,
than those who do better.
Shhh. Less talking,
more doing.
We win.
Perhaps the most impressive feature of the Psychology of Shortcuts is that it already exists within you.
If paid a million dollars for ten of your best ideas, or, better yet, a million dollars for EACH of your ten best ideas,
well, start counting. because it is difficult to see how you would stop yourself from producing MANY great ideas, true?
As surely as the Psychology of Longevity is already alive and waiting for you to simply feed your body real food each day,
so, too is the Psychology of Shortcuts just a thought away, a decision away, a determination to put in another one percent or more.

Contributor: Melissa LaRusso. Lesson ID: 10442
Lights! Camera! Verbs! Don't you mean, Action? Verbs are words that show action, or what a subject does. Popping balloons is an action and a game you play to learn about verbs in this action lesson!
How would you describe the girl's actions in this photograph? Is she walking, running, jogging, or dancing through the field with her balloons?
A verb is a word used to express action or being.
Most verbs express action. The following list of verbs may tell about somebody's actions, such as a child:
Can you think of any verbs to add to this list?
Your turn. Try using one of the verbs listed above in a sentence. Say your sentence aloud or write the sentence and emphasize the verb that describes the action.
Think about why the verb in the sentence is important. The verb describes the action!
Every sentence must have a verb. A verb can also be the only word in a sentence.
Look at the following groups of words. Sort them into two categories. Label the categories as sentences and non-sentences or phrases. You can fold a piece of paper in half and write the sentences on one side and the phrases (non-sentences) on the other side:
Compare the two categories to notice how the verbs tell the action in the sentences. The non-sentences are missing the action or the verb. Are you wondering how this information may help you as a reader or writer? Venture into the Got It! section to learn more.
Resources Referenced in the Lesson
We help prepare learners for a future that cannot yet be defined. They must be ready for change, willing to learn and able to think critically. Elephango is designed to create lifelong learners who are ready for that rapidly changing future.

How do I estimate the cost of building my house?
And…what's the cost per square foot to build a new home?
It's always the first question we hear: "How Much Does it Cost to Build a House?"
But answering this question is like asking…
- How much does it cost to take a vacation, or send our kids to college?
- How much per pound should we expect to spend on a new car?
- What's the "average cost" of a dinner for two?
These questions contain so many variables that it's not very easy for anyone to answer them accurately without asking additional questions and gathering more information. The same is true when calculating the cost to build a new home.
Here at Envision. Home at Last., it's our primary goal to take the stress and sweat out of big questions like "How much does it cost to build my home?" and "What's the cost per square foot to build a new home?" Answering these questions are more manageable to answer when you work with an Envision. Home at Last. builder, because our expert design personnel will ask the right questions as you make your selections so it fits your lifestyle and your budget when we price your home.
When you work with us, you'll be able to…
- Choose from an assortment of plans, customize an existing plan or customize your own plan
- You'll have an array products for you choose from within our builder showrooms
- Pricing will be made available to you quickly and accurately
Once you made these selections, an Envision. Home at Last. builder will have a price on your new home all within days, that's not only quick, but accurate too.
OK, so you're probably asking yourself, "Then, what will I need to do?"
The only way to be sure that your home building budget is reasonable is to identify every item that will be used to build your individual home and bid all of the associated subcontracts and labor costs. Of course, in order to do that, you will need to:
We understand that people don't want to buy a dozen different house plans and then spend weeks or months pricing them in order to determine which one(s) they can afford to build. So, a more realistic approach to determining how much your new home will cost might be to simply work backwards.
OK, so how I can I get started?
There are plenty of financial resources on the Internet, including our very own web series video about financing your home, but we also recommend discussing your new home with a local banker that will help you learn more about mortgages and calculate monthly payments for a given loan.
After you have a good idea of your financial situation you can look in the real estate section of your local newspaper, online, or in real estate guides for land and lots that appeal to you, we can assist you in finding that ideal location to build your new home. A good resource to get you started is to view our very own web series video about selecting your lot.
But before you jump into that, let's answer three more key questions that will help us determine the cost of your new home.
How does square footage factor into the price our my home?
Consider what square foot home building costs really are nothing more than the total cost of a given project divided by the total number of square feet in that project. So, a 2,000 square foot home with total construction costs of $250,000 would cost $125 per square foot to build. Spend another $50,000 on a gourmet kitchen, an elegant master bath, marble tiles in the foyer, a fancy curved stair, 10 foot ceilings, or any other combination of "above average" features or finishes, and that same 2,000 square foot house would now cost $150 per square foot to build. That's an increase of 20 percent.
We also have to keep in mind that there really isn't any uniform method of measuring square footage or defining what is included in those numbers.
- Are you using exterior dimensions or interior dimensions?
- How do you define heated or unheated space?
- Have you included the garage or basement or unfinished loft areas in their calculations?
- What about decks or covered porches?
- Is the land included in the square foot costs?
- What about building permits, liability insurance, utility connections, wells, septic systems, driveways, sidewalks, landscaping, etc.?
Price per square foot is a real variable that is really dependent on the selections you make to that home. A typical entry level finish can range from $90-$115 per square foot, Mid range finish level can range from $110-$160 per square foot, a high end finish can start at $150 per square foot and go well beyond $500 per square foot, again depending on the selections you choose. This would only be the home itself, in additional to that you would need to include: site development costs, land costs, well & septic (or water & sewer), and landscaping.
How can structure impact the cost of my home?
Now consider the structure itself. If the house in question is a ranch, with all of the finished area on one floor, the roof would have to be large enough to cover the entire 2,000 feet of living space. Turn that single level ranch into a two-story colonial and that results in a 50 percent reduction in roof size because the second floor system became the "roof" for half of the area on the first floor. Increase the roof pitch from 3/12 to 12/12 and the roof area (including framing members, sheathing, shingles) quickly increases to 35 percent.
Of course, these examples are oversimplified because they don't consider any other differences, like the need to add the cost of stairs and take away the space they occupy, or in the case of a slab-on-grade foundation, the difference between the cost of a concrete slab verses a wooden floor system.
Let's also mention that costs of similarly sized homes can also vary considerably due to the shape of the building, the number of corners or offsets in the design, the type of foundation and required local footing depth, the pitch of the roof, and many other design characteristics that are not directly related to the size of the house.
Green building products should also be an option you consider as you build your new home with Envision. Home at Last. because we offer many options to help save on energy bills down the road.
What other outside factors can affect the cost of my home?
Next, we have all of the regional, governmental, political, seasonal, and unpredictable human factors to add to our estimate. Development impact fees: more and more state and/or local jurisdictions are charging owners or land developers. This can range from a few thousand dollars to more than $50,000 per single family home. Labor and material costs can vary substantially based upon the time of the year, complexity or uniqueness of the project, good or bad economic times, jobsite conditions, regional markets, the unemployment rate, local building codes, construction moratoriums, zoning laws, covenants and restrictions, availability of supplies and workers, weather conditions, natural disasters, public or private water and sewer, and several hundred other factors.
Our final thoughts…
The choices you and your family make in terms of finished products in your home determine the cost to build your custom home.
For example, clad wood windows cost more than vinyl windows, tile costs more than linoleum, a glazed finished cabinet costs more than a stain, all these choices add or subtract from the overall cost to build your new home. Our web series videos on interior and exterior selections (how to select your exterior windows and doors product is here and how to select your siding and roofing products is here) can give a better idea of how windows, doors, and cabinetry can fit into your needs and budget.
We understand that tackling the "How much does it cost to build a home?" question is no easy feat. That's why our team is here to assist in making the right decisions and selections along the way that will make this question feel not as overwhelming. Why? We have expert personnel on staff that can design and build to fit your budget.
Let's face it. Building a home is one of the most stressful decisions you'll ever have to make, because it's one of the biggest financial decisions you'll have to make. With our over 40 years of experience in the custom home building industry, you'll be able to rest easy, because we'll be with you every step of the way…so you can finally be home at last and on budget!

Our staff welcomes your phone call if you need assistance choosing a strain or need growing tips and advice- we're available by phone and through our website's contact form. It's our primary goal to be an essential part of your harvest by offering top-grade cannabis seeds that germinate and produce well.
Getting Better Results When Germinating
Buying from a marijuana seedbank is an investment- even if you're growing for personal use, you'll want the best possible results from your seeds. Take the advice of cannabis growing experts and germinate your seeds in a kitchen towel, a glass of water, or in peat plugs designed for seed germination. The last place to consider germination is directly in soil; in fact, many growers tell novice cultivators to 'not even bother' growing if they plan to begin the plants' lifespan by sowing directly into soil.
For Best Results
After germination takes place, transfer seeds into medium-sized pots with rich growing medium- one to a pot. Your plants do not need to compete for growing space. When transplanting germinated seeds, take caution to make sure the root is facing down, and the seedling is at the top; seems pretty basic, but this is something many growers ignore altogether. The crown, or top of the seed, will be crater-shaped while the side where the root will emerge will be pointed.
Visit Our Blog
Access our grower's blog anytime you're on the i49 marijuana seedbank website to find growing tips, information on particular strains, and much, much more. You'll also see an index of medical conditions that typically respond well to marijuana as medicine- particularly high CBD-content strains, such as Granny's Medicine, Dinamed CBD Plus, Zkittlez, Critical Mass, Blue Ice, and Candy Cream.

Gingrich Uses Fog Of Words To Cloud Our Memory
Dec. 9 (Bloomberg) — Newt Gingrich is back in contention for the Republican presidential nomination partly because he understands the power of words, the pervasiveness of amnesia, and the dark art of making them work together.
It's still hard to imagine Gingrich as president. He's likely to blow himself up before next November. But the scary thing for Democrats is that Gingrich grasps these subtextual forces better than they do. It makes him a less predictable and possibly more dangerous opponent than Mitt Romney in the general election.

The uncertainties present in the system can be categorized into randomness and fuzziness. Probabilistic methods are especially suitable in case of uncertainty due to randomness for which the information on both the range and the probability density function are available. The probabilistic concept is already well established for the extension of the deterministic finite element method towards uncertainty assessment. This has led to a number of probabilistic finite element procedures (Haldar & Mahadevan, 2000; Lernout et. al., 2006; Pellissetti & Schueller, 2007; Schueller et. al., 2004; Soize, 2009) that are often used in conjunction with Monte Carlo simulations. However, the use of a probabilistic approach can lead to subjective results if the amount of statistical data on the uncertainties is limited, and fuzzy information that is vague, imprecise, qualitative, linguistic or incomplete need to be included (Elishakoff, 1995). The need to incorporate subjective information into the design and analysis of engineering systems has led to the development of fuzzy finite element methodology that began in the early 1990s.
Fuzzy set theory initiated by Zadeh (1965) provides a concept for the description of linguistic or subjective knowledge and incomplete data in a non-probabilistic manner. The use of Zadeh's concept in the finite element context has led to the development of the fuzzy finite element method for the solution of engineering problems (Dhingra et. al., 1992; Valliappan & Pham, 1995; Chen & Rao, 1997; Akpan et.al., 2001a; Akpan et.al., 2001b). Its aim is to obtain the membership function of an output quantity, based on the fuzzy description of the uncertain input parameters. By using the -level technique, the interval finite element method forms the core of the fuzzy procedure (Gersem et. al., 2007). Over the last decade, several interval FE procedures have been reported, such as the vertex method (Dong & Shah, 1987; Hanss, 2002; Donders et. al., 2005; Gauger et al., 2008), the global optimization approaches (Valliappan & Pham, 1995; Möller et. al., 2000; Farkas et. al., 2008) and the interval arithmetic approaches (Rao & Berke, 1997; Qiu & Elishakoff, 1998; Dessombz et. al., 2001; Muhanna & Mullen, 2001). However, each of these techniques has its specific limitations when applied to realistic engineering problems, and none of them has been established as standard interval procedure, and the choice of technique depends on the type of the conducted FE analysis.
This work presents a practical approach based on High Dimensional Model Representation (HDMR) (Li et. al., 2001a; Li et. al., 2001b; Sobol, 2003; Chowdhury et. al., 2008; Balu & Rao, 2012a; Balu & Rao, 2012b; Balu & Rao, 2012c) for analyzing the response of structures with fuzzy parameters. The proposed methodology involves integrated finite element modelling, HDMR based response surface generation, and explicit fuzzy analysis procedure. The uncertainties in the material, geometric, loading and structural parameters are represented using fuzzy sets. To facilitate efficient computation, a HDMR based response surface generation is employed for the approximation of the fuzzy finite element response quantity, and the response is expressed in a separable closed-form expression as a linear combination of the fuzzy variables through the definition of intervening variables, then using the transformation technique the bounds on the response at each α-level are obtained.

In addition to the regular publications on social protection in the Nordic countries, NOSOSCO also publishes various more comprehensive reports, the so-called theme reports. In this report, a comparative study of the pension systems in the Nordic countries is described.
The report touches on the consequences of ageing populations and the resulting provision problem.Development in the increased life expectancy, the pensionable age and the participation rate of the older members of the labour force is analyzed. In some typical cases, a calculation is made of how large a percentage of the pay the pension constitutes.
The situation in the Nordic countries wil be contrasted with the situation in other European countries (the EU), from which can be seen that even if the ratio of people over 65 years increases sharply in the Nordic countries, the ratio will increase even more sharply in many of the other EU countries.
Apart from the analyzing sections, the book describes how the pension systems work in the Nordic countries.

Consider these hidden and forgotten spots to add much-needed storage around your residence.
Karl Lohnes: The simple search for storage in your home
I am a self-confessed decor hoarder, so the idea of living a clutter-free life seems like only a dream to me. You name it, I own at least one. At last count, I have 14 cake stands.
I am lucky to live in a large place, but I am also bracing for the day when closets are stuffed, bookshelves are overflowing and the basement just can't accommodate more boxes. Oh wait, that day arrived about two years ago; time to start planning a big yard sale for late spring.
If you are also living with storage chaos, here are a few space saving ideas that will help hide some of the goods you just can't part with:
The entryway: This area of the house sets off stress levels when you walk through the front door and coats, boots, knapsacks, scarves and newspapers are strewn about. One of the simplest (and inexpensive) ideas is to add more basic shelving inside your hall closet. Add a shelf one foot above the floor and you'll instantly give yourself another row for shoes and double the footwear storage. Adding another shelf a foot from the closet's ceiling offers the perfect place for out of season bags, scarves, etc.
Give each family member one hook for daily hanging of the familiar winter coat or purse. Hang the hooks at age-appropriate levels to encourage young ones to keep their stuff off the floor when they come in the house.
The bathroom: Probably the most non-forgiving room in the house is the bath area; especially if you have a pedestal sink (which offers no under-sink storage cabinet). I like to add discrete shelving in every bath area. Look above the door and utilize that 8 to 12 inches of wall space by installing a simple bracket shelf to store small baskets of outdated cosmetics (you know, the stuff you just can't say goodbye to).
Also consider hanging a train rack-style shelf inside the bath area, opposite to the shower nozzle is usually the best place. It will be far enough away from the water source, but handy to store your daily shower accoutrements and hang your bath towel and keep it hidden behind the shower curtain.
The bedroom: As the most private room in the house, it's often hard to keep the bedroom clutter-free. Perhaps we think closing the door will fix the abundance of clothing, books and shoes on display? To help with maximum storage in a small bedroom, I always suggest the hydraulic-lift beds that offer easy, accessible storage underneath. The storage offered underneath is equivalent to six dresser drawers, which means less bedroom furniture needed to consume precious floor space.
Also consider the inside doors of your closets; there are a myriad of door-hanging systems that can store shoes, scarves, ties, shirts, etc. Just remember to hang the system on the inside of the door not the outside or you'll be adding the visual clutter that nightmares are made of.
Karl Lohnes has worked as a home decor expert and product designer for 25 years. He often appears Thursday during the 8 a.m. hour on Global News Morning Montreal.
Have nothing sitting on the foyer floor. If free of coats, newspapers, books, bags and shoes, it will look organized and stress free.
Hooks, hooks, hooks. There is not one place in the home where a hook is not welcome; consider them an extra set of hands to hold things.
Use decorative trays to create landing pads for daily clutter in the foyer, bedroom, bathroom and home office. It's so keys, change, lipstick, etc. never gets lost in the clutter.

There are situations when you find yourself needing to travel to a foreign country as soon as possible, only to realize you don't yet have a passport. There are other times when you already have a passport only to find out that it's already expired. Because routine passport applications often take four to six weeks, this type of application may not suit you if you're in a hurry to travel. Therefore, let us show you how to get a U.S. passport fast.
Getting Your Passport Fast
One of the main reasons why people need to get a United States passport quickly is when they have family emergencies that require them to travel outside of the country in less than 48 hours. In situations like this, you can contact the National Passport Information Agency (NPIA) through the phone and tell them about your situation. They will then help you set a schedule with your local passport agency regarding your emergency passport.
You can call the NPIA any time of the day. However, there are times when they are unable to help you get a schedule with the passport agency. In case that happens, simply stay on the line and they will forward you to a customer service representative (CSR). The CSR will then provide you with other options and instructions on how you can get your emergency passport.
Expedited Passport
In instances where there isn't a family emergency, but you still need to travel outside the country in less than four weeks, you can choose to have your application expedited. Getting an expedited passport is the fastest and most efficient way of getting a passport outside of emergency situations. In fact, the US Department of State advises travelers needing to travel in less than ten weeks to get an expedited passport instead of the routine application.
Getting an expedited passport is also important if you need to travel to a foreign destination within two weeks or need your passport to obtain a foreign visa in less than four weeks. Current processing times for expedited passport services are is around two to three weeks. It is therefore advisable that you apply for a US passport if you are already expecting to travel in the coming months.
If you are sending your passport application by mail, make sure you clearly write the word, 'EXPEDITED' outside the envelope. Aside from that, make sure you have the means to track your mail before sending it. There are courier services that provide this feature. And, since your envelope contains sensitive personal information, make sure that your envelope is secure and isn't easily damaged.
Because an expedited passport application is a form of a value-added service, expect to pay a fee to get it. The fee is often added on top of the regular passport processing fees that you need to pay. This is, of course, a non-issue if you really need to get your passport quickly.
Passport Services
After reading this article, we're pretty sure you now know how to get a new passport quick. To sum up, you can get a passport faster than a routine service during family emergencies that require you to travel out of the country. Aside from that, choosing an expedited american passport service would help speed up your passport application.Tags: american passport fast, new passport fast, pasport fast, pass port fast, passport application, passport fast, u.s. passport fast, united states passport fast, us passport fast, usa passport fast

Article date: 1985/4/1
PubMed ID: 2985201
Journal name: Brain research (ISSN: 0006-8993)
Acute injection of the gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) mimetics progabide, aminooxyacetic acid, gamma-acetylenic GABA and dipropylacetamide reduced 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) accumulation in serotonergic nerve terminal regions (prefrontal cortex, olfactory tubercle, septum, striatum, hypothalamus, hippocampus, substantia nigra, cerebellum and spinal cord) as well as in corresponding cell body areas (raphé dorsalis, medianus, pontis and magnus). This effect was antagonized by bicuculline. The inhibition of serotonin (5-HT) synthesis induced by a single progabide administration was accentuated on repeated treatment in the striatum, prefrontal cortex and cerebellum but was similar to that seen after acute treatment in the other areas. Local infusion of high concentrations of GABA or GABA mimetics into the striatum, septum or substantia nigra failed to modify 5-HTP accumulation in these areas. Cerebral hemitransection antagonized the ability of progabide (1200 mg/kg i.p.) to diminish 5-HTP accumulation in the striatum, hippocampus and prefrontal cortex. Intra-raphé dorsalis infusion of muscimol (0.1-100 ng) or GABA (1-100 micrograms) decreased 5-HT synthesis in the corresponding projection areas (e.g. striatum, substantia nigra, cortex) but not in the hippocampus or cerebellum. Conversely, intra-raphé medianus infusion of these drugs diminished 5-HTP accumulation in the corresponding projection areas (e.g. hippocampus, septum, cortex) but not in the striatum or cerebellum. Intra-raphé dorsalis or medianus injection of GABA antagonists (bicuculline, picrotoxinin, RU-5135) was without effect on cerebral 5-HT synthesis but antagonized the diminution of the amine synthesis observed in corresponding projection areas after intra-raphé dorsalis or medianus infusion of muscimol or GABA. These results suggest that GABA exerts an inhibitory (non-tonic) control over central serotonergic neurons which is mediated via GABA receptors located in the raphé nuclei.

By now you know I work at Wal-Mart. And I'm sure your realize the random insanity that can happen there. Like the other day when the maintenance guy finds a turd under the bench by the front door. A human turd.
This bench is not made so that the patron could have backed up and deposited their treasure out the back. It was made in such a fashion as to make one wonder how it got there.
So. The maintenance guy calls security up and tells them to look on the film and see how it got there. She does. Here's what she told him.
An old guy came in, shook it out of his pants leg, then kicked it under the bench.
Um … doing this outside was out of the question? You felt the need to deposit this in a store with people and food? How long have you been carrying this around? Or, did it appear during your entrance? I'm not sure I want to know the answers to these questions, but thank you for reading another prime example of #mylifeatwalmart #helpmeiworkretail

Well, I thought, New Year, a new happy start--But it's not to be--ð¢ð¢ Daisy, our Rat Terrier, has not been her usual self for a couple weeks--Went to the vets today.
She has a large mass, in her belly and it's cancer.ð¡ I was afraid of that.
Can't do anything for her --she has either a few days or a week--could be a little longer--but it's affected her eating and her GI tract. I am hoping she'll just go in her sleep--I hate to have to put her down.ð¢ð¢ð¥º We have had her since 2010.
17 Jan 2018
I cannot fathom what happened this morning.
This is Stubby---whom I just found--gone!!!ðªð¢ð°
He was fine at 3am when I gave him some treats--but let me go back to last week. He wasn't acting right--not eating or drinking. I tried o set up an appointment for him and had problems with that. Then he started to get better--eating and drinking---decided I would call the vet again for a check up. He 'd been acting his old self again---so I thought I had time to call the vet.
He came here, with us, from Florida. Rescued him around 2006. I think he was about 2 or 3 years old, at the time.
I went into the kitchen, about 6am and saw him lying on the rug, under the kitchen table. I called him, he didn't move. I touched him and realized what had happened. But, I can't say why--
Last November, we lost Adam. He was 17 1\2. I felt bad too, but he was getting frail--he was blind and did a lot of walking. I took him to the vets, just to get an idea of what was going on. it was mainly age related problems. I knew he'd be gone one day--so it came as no surprise and I was able to tolerate that better than I am handling this.
Stubby is already being missed. My husband was close to him
He's here and I am taking him for cremation to come back with us.
18 Feb 2013
I normally don't do this--but this story is really quite sad---I read about this
dog and it is outrageous what his status is and especially the reason behind it ---It's people like us that may be able to help Dutch!!!!
7 Dec 2012
I have got 2 accounts to tell you about----they are both sad, but my second one has a funny twist and gave me some relief---
First---a week ago this coming Sunday, will be one week that our dear Bruno, who turned either 18 or 19 this year, went to join his crew at Rainbow Bridge. The previous Tues he wasn't acting right and on Wed took him to the vet. Found out that his hematacrit was very low and he was anemic. It was either he was bleeding from somewhere unknown or his bone marrow was on the fritz. No matter what we found out, there was nothing that could be done for him, especially at his age. So I brought him home to be in familiar surroundings, when his time came. Late Sat night or very early Sun morning---I went to wet his mouth---he licked his lips, meowed looked at me and started having respiratory distress. Luckily, it was short lived and he didn't suffer for which I am very grateful---he was such a great catso painful to see him leave me----but he'll be back home again.
My strange story is this. Last year, when I was away from home and in Pennsylvania from November to January due to my accident----I luckily had someone to care for the cats. One day, last December, while I was talking to them, they told me they could not find Patches. She was a Calico and was born before Bruno. They said they looked all over the house and could not find her. And they could not smell anything that would indicate she had died. Before I left to go to Pa. I noticed she was hanging around the front door, which was unusual for her. So we thought, somehow she had gotten out of the house. I always felt bad, when I thought about her, because I could only imagine horrible things had happened to her.
Today----she was found and I cannot believe this. She was gone, but what she did, was crawl behind this piece of furniture, in the bedroom, where my TV set was on, and that is where I found her, quite by accident. But get this, poor little thing was mummified, but not decomposed----there was no odor---I found her by accident!!!! So now, even though I am sad that she died alone, I am more peaceful because I know what happened to her. She will go to the vets for cremation and come back here.
When I find pictures of them, I will post them
30 Jul 2012
Just a little note now---for that is all I feel like. Lost our beloved Miss Kitty today after her horrendous nite of seizure activity.
She had to be put to sleep as there was no stopping since 8pm last nite---Possible brain tumor as there was never any seizure activity with her----I will spare the details as it was awful. She is now, out of her pain and misery and prancing around at Rainbow Bridge with her family that went before her.
My heart is broken and I miss her!!!! Thank goodness for this site as every little bit helps.
