Students of Literacy studies need not worry about paying for over-priced textbooks anymore – renting textbooks is an option! Literacy textbooks – for example Rules for Writers Developmental Exercises: Developmental Exercises by [Wanda Van Goor, Diana Hacker], and Little Celebrations, Mail Myself to You, 6 Pack, Early, Stage 2b (Little Celebrations Guided Reading) by [Celebration Press] – are often some of the most frequently updated books by Publishing companies. The field of Literacy is constantly changing, and new editions can come yearly and at a huge cost to students who continually buy new books. So why buy when you can rent cheap textbooks? There are plenty of Literacy books to rent – BookRenter has of them all!
Used book sales can be a cheap option as well, but often can be more expensive than textbook rentals. However, there are very few return policies with used books, and especially when taking Literacy classes, buying a used book can be dangerous and costly.

Fulltime here! The Panthers roll on, fine form in tact while the Warriors are dismissed, their season is over.
The prince of Penrith Matt Moylan has delivered a masterclass, ably supported by Jamie Soward. Strong display from Penrith. The Roosters have got a match on their hands next week. Mouth-watering stuff!
The Panthers in an 16-point win here: Penrith 22 over the Warriors 6.
So the finals look like this:

That's all from me. See you in the finals.
The Panthers have defeated the Warriors 22 points to 6 #pantherpride #NRLPenWar pic.twitter.com/JAl7blpcv9 — Penrith Panthers (@PenrithPanthers) September 7, 2014
Great try to the Panthers. Plum finds Smith who feeds Moylan. The maestro grubbers the ball for Zelezniak to who scores his sixth career try.
Matt Moylan attempts a field goal but the ball is deflected. Laumape tries to break the Panthers defence out wide but is dragged into touch by Lewis Brown.
Great physical challenge from Nigel Plum on Nathan Friend that dislodges the ball. Local fans loved that.
Horrible clash of Idris's head to Tomkins' hip. Idris hasn't moved. He looks ill. He has been immense. He battles on. Intersting he can stay on the pitch... Ref looked to test his understanding. Regardless, the Panthers big man has been penalised for a dangerous tackle on Tomkins in the air.Back to top
Bakuya the next to make an unforced error for the Warriors. Not the first....
Panthers look to have settled after a frenzy of activity after the break. Good strong sets, plenty of gains and energy in defence. Warriors need to try something new, their kicking has been ordinary.
Ben Matulino is placed on report with a high arm. Didn't look like to much menace was in that one. Jamie Soward will take the two points. Although, he looked keen to punt the ball to a teammate out wide with all the Warriors in a huddle in goal. Ref quickly informed him he 'must have a genuine attempt at goal".... interesting. Who determines that? Regardless, Soward converts. Pennies by 12 points with 15 to go.
Why do you have to make genuine attempt at goal - more exciting if opposition doesn't know what is happening — Brad Walter (@BradWalterSMH) September 7, 2014
Warriors pad the ball back but Moylan pounces. Questionable play from Mannering. Wouldn't it be better to secure the ball rather than hit it to no man's land?
Mannering spikes the ball volleyball style straight into @lewi_brown's hands. @PenrithPanthers lead still 16-6 with 18 minutes remaining. — NRL (@NRL) September 7, 2014

Great kick and chase of the end of a Panthers set. Sam Anderson crunches Leuluai, he'll learn a lesson or two from that heavy hit. Panthers regaining the ascendancy. Good field position, good go-ahead yards. Their forwards are pumping. Idris is starting to make a difference. Peyroux is tackled in-goal. Another six to the Pennies.
Ten minutes into the second half, Panthers are ten points up with the Warriors are building up a head of steam. Thomas Leuluai kicks the ball dead. Too much on it. Panthers breathe.

Soward is doing nhis bit in defence too. up out of the line early, pressuring Johnson who throws the ball to ground. The Kiwi playmaker looks frustrated...Back to top
NO try to the Warriors. Player held-up in goal. Apologies, couldn't see who it was. But they'll have another go here....
Now the Panthers's fullback Moylan has been grounded in touch with the ball. Six more for the Warriors, I smell a comeback!
Try Warriors! The big man Manu Vatuvei travels 60 metres, outpacing the Panthers defence. The Warriors aren't done here...

Get Rid Of Your Storage Unit
If you are someone who is living on a low wage or even someone in the middle class it really doesn't pay to have a storage unit. It is the equivalent to paying interest on a credit card for stuff you really don't need. While there might be some rare instances where they make sense for a short period of time, most people I know that get storage rental units end up paying for the for years and years. For a 5X10 unit you will probably pay somewhere between $50 and $100 per month depending on where you live. For a unit with over 100 square feet you will probably pay between $80 and $150 per month. This is a great way to burn money you probably don't have. So, what should you do? We will explore some options that will make economic sense no matter what your earning level is.
If you own a house or rent a house and have space in your backyard, you may want to check and see if a storage shed might be a better alternative for you. Why pay $600 to $1800 per year to store your crap? While many sheds are expensive, there are some cheaper ways to go. The best and cheapest way I know of is to build your own storage shed. You can buy some good storage shed plans for less than $20. Depending on the size of the storage shed you are building, your supplies will cost you a couple of hundred to several hundred dollars. Sheds are pretty basic structures that just about anybody can do if they have some woodworking experience. Instead of going to the gym, get your workout at home for a week or two in your spare time and build a storage shed that will be just right for you.
If you are not good at woodworking, you might want to buy a used storage shed. You can probably find a good used shed in your area for less than you would spend in a year renting a storage unit. Best of all, it will be your own storage unit that you will no longer have to pay for. There are all kinds of used sheds to consider. With the Internet, it is easy to read reviews online to make sure you aren't buying junk. Then you can look on Craigslist and make some calls. You should be able to find a 50-100 square foot shed for somewhere between $500 and $1000.
While getting your own storage shed is a better option than renting a storage unit for years and years, it is not the best solution. The best thing to do would be to sell all of the stuff in your storage rental right now. Who knows how much money you might make by selling stuff you currently don't use. You might be able to make $500 to $5000 depending on how much stuff and the quality of stuff you have. You can then take that money and put it in a rainy day fund for yourself or get rid of some credit card debt. This one decision could be worth tens of thousands of dollars to you over the course of several years. If you rent a storage unit for ten years, that could cost you as much as $18000 over that time. In addition, that money could compound in a number of ways. If you are saving money on interest from your credit card that could be as much as 25% per year. Once you go through this exercise of reducing your things, make a regular habit of it. You will live in a happier, healthier space that will seem to have more room in it. Plus, you can save thousands of dollars at the same time. Good luck in getting rid of your storage rental unit.

How to redirect categories to subdomains?
Hello together,
I have an existing page what is separated into several Subdomains for each categorie. It is a simple static page, and so it is always the need for ftp tools and editors and everything.
After now foer years working with the website in that state, i want to stop it, there should be an easier way for it. More comfortable for my users and also easy to make any kind of updates whenever i have something new to add.
Wird WordPress i have this tool. It has its categories, an web based editor what really everybody is able to use.
So i startet to think how to make it work for me also that easy.
But after lot of installs and trys with the htaccess i couldn't find out, how to point a category directly to a subdomain, or a subdomain to the category.
I had a while ago an website script, that created 'invisible' subs and .html files .. i just created in an admin interface the file wordpress.html (or subdomain wordpress) and when i opend then http://example.com/wordpress.html / http://wordpress.example.com/ it opend the websites i defined. But on the server was nothing like these files or folders. it all worked with some kind of wildcard subdomain and an htaccess i really really don't understand.
Maybe here somebody has an idea how to get wordpress to show categories instead of folders in subdomains.
Kind Regards

We had a position turn over and had a new employee start this week to fill the position. I am trying to get the old user's email to go to the new user's mailbox. I can get it to work by forwarding the old user's email to the new user via delivery options. However, I cannot get the new user to receive email via proxy address; my preferred method. I attempted to do this by removing the email address from the old user's mailbox and adding it to the new user's mailbox. This works on other accounts, (I tested it with mine to verify it worked) but I can't get it to work for this address/mailbox. Is there any reason this would occur?
It is worth noting I did disconnect the old mailbox last week and had to reconnect it today to be able to remove the SMTP address for the old user; it wouldn't let me add the SMTP address to the new user because it was still associated with the old user. I reconnected the mailbox today and removed the SMTP address so I could add it to the new user. I did not receive an undeliverable message, but the email was never delivered to the new mailbox.

Have you tried restarting the transport Service >?
Check in the Mail routing log to which mailbox the message is getting delivered to.
Jul 10, 2012 at 2:14 UTC
I'm pretty sure I did. I don't remember at this point. I ended up just using ForeFront filtering to forward the emails. It probably had something to do with how I disabled then re-enabled the mailbox.

I recently found a version of the popular trivia game You Don't Know Jack on Google Play. Because the diversity of Plants vs. Zombies, I thought it would be fun to create YDKJ-type questions in reference to the game of this wiki. And I'm gonna try my best to rephrase the questions and answers they way they're mentioned in YDKJ. So here we go!
Question 1ne (and yes, that's how questions are labled in YDKJ).
In the original game, Buckethead Zombies were pretty scared of Magnet-shrooms. If we could translate the moaning and groaning, he'd probably be swearing right on the spot. If the Magnet-shroom was brought out in an update to It's About Time, which of his variants would have a different reaction?
A. The Pot-E Dancer B. The Tutankhamun Consumer
C. The Swashbuckle Sucker D. The Techno No-No
Along with your answer, I'd also like to know if this is a good idea for a blog series. And if you're already a YDKJ fan, how well did I write the question?
You have until Thursday. Good luck!
I think maybe I gave too short of a time limit for this question. At the time of posting this note, I had only one response. I had the initial intent on publishing three questions per week. What I'm gonna do is limit it to one question per week, with Tuesday as the deadline.. Zombieman1350 (talk) 18:52, May 15, 2014 (UTC)
Really? Only 1 response?! Whatever, I'll give the answer anyway. C. The Swashbuckle Sucker
The variants, in order, are: West (reference to his chili pot hat), Egypt, Pirate, and Future. Unlike the others, the Pirate Seas version has his bucket made of wood, which cannot be picked up by the Magnet-shroom.
(If you're not aware, on any version of YDKJ, after the answer is revealed, a joke is made toward the topic. So, here goes.)
It's also rumored that this guy has been stealing from Zomboss's rum cabinet and keeps falling off the ship, not realizing the planks haven't been set yet. Maybe that's why he's not afraid of Torchwoods and Snapdragons either...

Shared with a Friend
I looked Eugene dead in the eyes, our lips touching as I poised on top of him, his erection pressing against my abdomen, throbbing and as excited as I'd ever seen his six inch cock in five years of marriage.
I eased my tongue just past his lips and let him suck the taste from the tip of my tongue. We sought to look deep into each other's eyes and see what was going on inside the others mind.
My eyes gave away my pleasure so Gene knew the instant Devin's cock pressed against my overly wet shaved pussy.
He stared deep into my eyes as another man pushed my body forward slightly, indicating that I'd taken all of the man's cock fully into my tight pussy.
He knew the wetness another man was now feeling. Knew how Devin's cock must feel having my snug pussy gripping its thickness. Knew his larger cock was encased and gripped by my lust soaked insides.
I'd only been with two men before now, Calvin a college boyfriend and Gene, my husband of five faithful years.
Now I was straddled across my husband as another man fucked me dog-style, and it was beautiful. Gene softly kissed my bottom lip. The slight bump of Devin fucking me transferred to my husband's quivering lip.
I suck Gene's tongue deep into my mouth and ground my shaved mound into my his stiff cock, letting it feel my body rocking to and fro, sharing a touch of what another man was doing to me.
It felt wicked, dirty and wonderful. Making love to my husband while another cock fucked me with a solid thump from behind. Thicker, longer than Gene's and wet with my spit and pussy fluids, his dick was my bodies limit.
Gene and Devin had met about a month ago at Hooters while sitting at the bar watching football and drinking beer. They hit it off and a friendship had formed. Now I was sandwiched between my husband and his friend, a strange cock buried deep inside me.
This event started a few hours ago while watching football and drinking beer. I wore a deep V necked team jersey and short Daisy-Duke cutoff jeans that showed off my long slim legs and what Gene calls an ass to die for.
I was fully aware that they were both watching me as I served drinks and snacks during the game. Taking peeks down my jersey as I bent to fill a glass or bowl. But they are healthy viral males that like women, so I expect to be looked at and the attention is never unappreciated.
I try to stay fit and looking nice.
I sat next to Gene on my left, his arm draped over my shoulder, with Devin sitting close on my right.
Gene's hand would take an occasional sneaky rub across my breast, his fingers lightly running along the V cut between my thirty six C cups.
Devin was not oblivious to Gene's sneaky tit attacks. I noticed from my peripheral Devin's attention to any movement Gene made.
I normally would never intentionally act sexy around other men, but after an hour and half of light touching, all the while knowing Gene was aware of his friend watching silently between football plays, I decided to linger a second longer when pouring the boys a fresh drink, making sure Gene had a good full view of the breast he'd been teasing during the game.
When I sat back down next to Gene his hand immediately went over my shoulder and he took a full handful of my right breast, gave it a solid squeeze then left it resting on my chest.
And Devin didn't miss a thing.
As the game neared the end, Gene's fingers started to lightly drift back and forth across my now stiffened nipple. I knew it peaked the jersey and clearly showed off its hardness to Devin.
Gene's thumb sank into my jersey's v neck and he made a slight tug, showing off just a tad of my upper breast and cleavage. I offered no resistance to his playing about. He got bolder and was now lightly running his hand in a slow motion exploration of my breast, all the while Devin now ignoring the game and watching my being felt up.
I'd never been touched in front of anyone before, and found it titillating. I figured Gene was just playing around and I just let him have some sneaky fun.
I thought since Gene was enjoying himself I'd assist, so finished my beer and sat it on the coffee table, but when I leaned back, I turned slightly more towards Devin, and sure enough as I settle back against my husband his hand found my breast. He ran it across both boy toys slowly and deliberate, hooked his thumb back into the v and tugged my shirt down enough to show a lot of cleavage.
Devin watched intently but I avoided his eyes and acted as if nothing was going on.
Knowing two men were having some sort of sexual thoughts about me made my juices begin to flow.
I laid my left hand on Gene's thigh near his groin and shifted my right arm to make sure he was aware that I knew what he was doing by allowing him more freedom to move his wondering arm.
His next move was bold. I felt his hand move fully into my jersey, cupping my entire left breast into his warm pasty hand. I could feel his nervousness, perhaps wondering if I would bolt or shoo him off.
Instead I slid my hand into Gene's lap, only to find his cock hard as marble stone.
He squeezed my breast and I responded by moving my hand up and down his hard shaft. I could feel his cock pulse in my grasp. It was doubtless that we'd wind up fucking as soon as his friend left the house.
It was clear by his movements, Gene was not only feeling up my breast, but his motions showed an ongoing trend to display more and more of my firm chest in the presence of his friend. Each time he successfully inched a little more of my flesh into view his cock would pulse in my hand.
Clearly his intent was showing me off a little to his friend.
Devin said, "I have to make room for more beer," and got up to go to the bathroom. He said, "I hope I don't miss anything."
I noticed when he stood he was sprouting a sizable bulge in his pants. Our antics had been appreciated by our guest.
"You having fun?" I asked my husband as Devin disappeared down the hall.
"Crazy, huh," he said. "Who'd thought?" he added, his dick pulsing in my hand.
"Thought what?" I asked my hand gripping his erection tighter.
"This," he said, nodding towards his solid erection. "That showing off my wife would every make my dick hard," he exclaimed.
"You haven't showed me off…yet," I added.
"Shit, look my cock," he moaned.
"I don't question why you get hard, I just like my man desiring me," I said.
"I was afraid you'd bolt," he told me.
"You're just playing with me, but I'd never bolt," I added.
"Ho, if you only knew the new shit going through your mind, you'd bolt," he said confidently.
"Such as?" I teased while gripping his cock.
"That don't help," he chuckled.
"Tell me," I said.
"It hadn't started out like that, but touching you with Devin here, I got so hard thinking of him seeing your breast," Gene confided.
"He's watching, and he has an erection too," I informed my husband.
"Really?" Gene asked, his cock jumped in my hand.
"You know what that means?" I said with an evil tone and laugh.
"Ya, he wants to fuck my wife," Gene said mater of factually. His dick stiffened.
"I'm not bolting," I said, then turned back to be facing Devin when he returned.
Devin came back asking as he crossed the room, "Did I miss anything?"
We both chimed in saying, "No, the game was not that exciting."
"You look excited," I said smiling at the tent he'd pitched in front of his pants.
"Well, ya, but it wasn't the game," he laughed.
Gene's hand drifted across my breast and with a twist of the wrist my breast was fully exposed to another man.
"Fuck guys, your killing me here. Damn she is so hot," Devin gasped.
"He likes my breast," I said to Gene, his cock steeling up further.
"Me too," Gene said let and his hand run to my neck, my breast in full view to Devin, then eased it back over my naked tit.
"Well, why am I wearing this?" I boldly asked and just like that lifted my jersey over my head, tossing it to Devin.
"Holy shit," Devin said as he brought the jersey up to his nose and smelled my scent in the fabric.
"Exactly," Gene laughed.
Gene's cock was stone hard in my hand.
"What next?" I asked my husband.
"Everything," he softly said.
I turned around and kissed Gene lustfully, but kept my grasp on his cock.
"Everything?" I whispered into his ear, sticking my tongue into it and probing gently.
"Everything," he replied.
"You want him to fuck me? To stick his cock inside me? And cum inside me?" I asked as I nibbled his ear lobe.
"Please," he moaned at my boldness.
"Then…just for you," I sealed the deal.
I turned to see Devin looking at my ass and glanced at his crotch.
"You can join if you like," I told him.
Devin was on me like a lightning bolt, taking my breast in his hands. I felt Gene stiffen even further. I leaned back into my husband and he raised up my right breast, offering it up to Devin to suck and nibble at will.
Gene was very excited and clearly turned on by my being naughty. While laying back against my husband his friend sucked and played with my breast a few minutes and then I sat up a bit and grasp Devin's shorts and pulled them down in one smooth motion.
"Fuck," I gasped then looked at Gene, then back to the gargantuan eight inch, very thick fuck monster sticking up like a stone spike.
I felt Gene's dick pulse yet again.
"Wow, Devin, damn look at that thing," Gene gasped out.
Standing, I dropped my Daisy-Dukes down around my ankles. Stepping out of them, I reached out and took it in my small hand, my fingers would not touch together around this thick beast. I slow stroked his cock a few seconds then after one quick look at Gene to check his demeanor and finding him smiling and staring at the massive cock in my hand, I turned and wrapped my mouth around his meaty cock and slow sucked him with some added hand work on his low hanging ball sack.
Devin moaned, "Ohmifuckinggod," when I took all of his cock deep inside my mouth, his nuts laying against my chin.
"Shit, not many women do that," Devin gasped.
"Hell, I didn't even know she could do that" Gene added.
Devin was ready, and Gene was hard as a diamond.
I spun around and removed Gene's shorts and he laid flat upon the sofa. I mounted him but did not let him enter me, his stiff cock pressed against my abdomen. I rested in doggy style upon my husband, and our eyes locked.
"You can take it baby," Gene whispered.
"Feel my pussy, stick your finger in me before Devin fucks me," I told my husband.
He squeezed his hand down to my pussy and his finger fell in. I was soaking wet, my clit hard like steel and juiced up like I'd already been filled with Devin and Gene's hot cum.
"Holy shit," Gene said with a smile.
"Fuck me Devin," I said into my husband's ear but loud enough for him to hear it.
Devin took my hip in his hands and positioned himself behind me then I felt it, his cock peeking inside the wife of his friend. Reaching between my legs, I guided his huge cock into my juicy pussy. His cock felt swollen as my hungry pussy sucked him in. As he pressed the head of his cock into me, I could feel my pussy being stretch further than it had ever been before. I couldn't believe the feeling; it was different, exciting. Once he had it all the way in I just moaned and told him to, "Fuck me," over and over.
Several minutes past. I looked down at Gene. Our eyes locked into a stare, searching for what thoughts were behind the intense look we shared.
His knowing a long fat cock was settling deep inside me, spreading me wide, stretching my pussy out and filling it entirely with cock. He loved it.
Devin fucked me slow, feeding me his cock with solid determined thrust. I could feel my husband Gene's cock pressed between us pulse and throb as Devin fucked me.
It was not long before my orgasm snuck up on me. I was going to cum on the head of another man's cock while my husband looked into my eyes.
"Baby, I'm going to cum…I'm going to cum on Devin's fat cock," I murmured to Gene as we remained eye locked into each other.
Devin's thrusting sped up as if he knew I needed it, slamming his dick into me deep and fast, his balls slapping my clit with a wet sound upon each thrust.
I leaned forward and raised my ass slightly, Devin's hands pulling my hips back and thrusting harder, fucking me with no mercy, not that I'd asked for any.
I whispered into Gene's ear, "I'm going to cum. Can I cum on Devin's cock baby?" I asked my husband.
Gene ran his hands down my sides to my ass, taking a cheek in each and pulling my cheeks high and wide,
"Fuck her Devin, fuck her hard man," Gene told him, then shoved his tongue into my mouth.
Somehow Gene's cock was now against my clit, slipping back and forth against my hardened button, I knew I was a goner.
Devin slam fucked me hard for about a minute when he announced he was about to cum. "Cum in her, cum in her pussy"
Gene grabbed my butt checks and offered up my pussy once again.
As I felt Devin's cock steel up, my orgasm finally hit me like a tidal wave. I convulsed and jerked and felt liquid pour out of my insides just as Devin pushed deep and held tight, his balls draining hot cum deep inside my pussy. I quivered and felt like I was melting from the inside out.
The size of his cock was fucking incredible. When I finally got off his cock all stretched and sore, Devin was spent and I was in the afterglow of a powerful orgasm.
I needed to make my husband cum.
Devin pulled out and with a slight shift of my hips, my husband Genes cock was inside me. Gene's moan made it all worthwhile. His moan of sheer pleasure.
I've heard of sloppy seconds. How men love a lively, hot freshly fucked cum filled pussy. How it feels upon their cocks. And by my husband's reaction, it was good.
I could feel Devin's cum being pushed out by my husband's excited erection.
"God you feel so good," Gene moaned as he looked into my eyes then cummed hard, flooding my pussy with his cum after no more than a dozen strokes. I'd thought he was cheated some but he cummed violently.
Spent, the three of us laid in a pile, catching their breath and basking in the afterglow.
Thinking I wasn't paying any attention, Gene was staring at Devin's big cock. Without thinking his hand slid over and hefted Devin's big cock as if testing its weight. He stroked it a few times then realized what he was doing and jerked his hand away.
As Devin was dressing to leave, I thought to myself, next time Devin comes over I think things are going to have a little different twist.

The other day, we are having a conversation at our think tank about the future of human longevity. You see, there are a number of people working with Ray Kurzweil's Singularity Institute and it appears that many technologies are coming together rapidly which may actually help us find a cure for something very important; old age. Interestingly enough as modern medicine works to solve problems with diseases, viruses, and genetic health issues, these Kurzweil is working on something which is actually more important.

Review of "Member Advice on Offline Shopping"
"Save some money when you're shopping"
As I have already done opinions on saving money in the house, in the garden, on holiday and on your finances in general I thought that I would complete my efforts with my advice on saving money whilst shopping.Yes folks you don't have to spend a fortune every time you go shopping!
Most of my ideas focus on supermarket shopping so that's where I'll begin.If you're out at work all day it is a good idea to go supermarket shopping in the evening. There are usually bargains to be had on fresh produce such as bread, as they have to destroy it if they can't sell it so they might as well sell it cheaply.
Cut out 'money off' vouchers from magazines even if you don't buy the product specified. Some supermarkets will take any vouchers providing that they stock the goods in question whether you actually buy them or not. Some will only reduce your total bill by 50% so it's worth checking the rules at individual places. The supermarket has the right to refuse to accept the vouchers if you haven't purchased the goods, but don't throw them away try using them somewhere else.Don't tell me that it's not worth it either, I have saved about £1,000 a year by doing this – and I don't buy many magazines either. If a supermarket has a display of coupons I pick a handful up rather than just one. If I do spot a coupon in a magazine that is worth much more than the face value of the magazine, I buy a few copies. For example not long ago there was a coupon worth £2.50 inside a magazine that cost me 55p so it was worth my while buying a few. Get the idea?
If you find that something is wrong with what you have bought – complain! You can return the item to the store and get a refund of the amount that you paid or you can write to the manufacturers or to the head office of the store and often receive vouchers in excess of the amount originally paid for the faulty item.In some supermarkets they have a policy whereby if you spot a mistake on your till receipt they will give you the item free of charge so remember to check. If you spot a mistake take the till receipt to customer services and point it out to them. The least they will do is correct the mistake and, as I say, some will refund the price of the goods in full whilst letting you keep them.
Keep your eyes open for mistakes in all sorts of shopping. I went into our local Asda the other day and saw that they had reduced the prices on their fresh fish cakes. They were £1.50 or so per pack or 3 packs for £3 and they had reduced the individual packs to £1.12 each. I bought 3 assuming that the special offer reduction would take effect at the till in addition to the price reduction. I noticed on my till receipt that I had been charged £3.36 with no further reduction.I queried this at customer services only to be told that the 3 for £3 offer had been removed from the items that were reduced in price. Think about it – this means I could buy three fresh packs for £3 or three packs at their sell by date for £3.36! I had my money back of course. I also wrote to head office so I may get some vouchers for my trouble as well!
Look out for special offers like 3 for the price of 2 and stock up when the goods are cheaper. Be wary of buying things you won't actually use just because they're cheap – if you don't use them it's still a waste of money even if the price is reduced!Plan ahead for meals. This will mean that you buy the things you need rather than the things that catch your eye as you walk round the supermarket. It also means you'll be less likely to feel you can't be bothered cooking and order a takeaway.
Buy the large economy bags of things that can be frozen. For example a large bag of carrots is better value and you can prepare them all and freeze them in meal sized packs, thus saving time and money.If you're buying spirits which will have mixers added buy the shops own brand. You won't taste the difference, but you will notice the difference in your purse!
Buy fruit and vegetables when they are plentiful and thus cheaper, to freeze for later use. Pick blackberries from the hedgerows, wash and freeze for making pies.Have a look in your local charity shops. There are often bargains to be found on all sorts of things and you'd be helping the charity at the same time.
Have a go at a car boot sale. Get rid of your own 'junk' and earn some cash or go round and find some bargains for yourself.Plan ahead for Christmas and Birthdays. Buy the presents, cards, wrapping paper etc. when there are special offers available. Keep freebies and competition wins if you think that they would be a useful present for someone.
Take some time to look around – even if it's only occasionally. Find out where the best bargains are – don't just do all your shopping in the same supermarket. Investigate the prices in the 'cheaper' supermarkets, the goods are often just as good as the higher priced equivalents, even if the brand names aren't as well known.If you're going to buy a larger item, shop around first both on the high street and the Internet. The price differences can be substantial, and remember to take into account the cost of delivery and installation if it is applicable.
When planning a day out check out ticket prices in advance. Cut out 2 for the price of 1 offers from the newspaper and keep them just in case. Look at offers from the various supermarket reward schemes. It is a standing joke in our family when we're out and someone suggests going somewhere – I often say 'Hang on I have a voucher for that in my bag!'Trade skills with friends. For example offer to do a basket of ironing in exchange for a night of babysitting.
Set up a babysitting circle with other parents. Each start with the same number of tokens and use them to pay one another for babysitting. The more times you sit the more nights out you can have.One final note do remember to use your store loyalty cards every time you visit – it might not be much but it all helps as they say.

Flamon was surprised, and tried to catch his breath. He looked back to see what Aquan had seen, but he found nothing.
'Aquan what's wrong? What did you see?'
'N...nothing it's not...' He started to say, but topped once he saw the disappointment showing on Flamons face.
'I thought that I saw Elder Kai and his two humans.' He admitted. Flamon was happy that Aquan had involved him, but he felt horrible about what had happened earlier. As he looked down at his angel he wanted to punch himself. He stroked his face gently with one hand.
'Aquan I am so sorry for what I said earlier. I will never forgive myself for that. All I wanted to do was protect you from getting hurt, and I'm the one that hurt you.' He said with tears in his eyes. Aquan gently grabbed his face and brought him into a kiss.
Flamons body stopped trembling as he started to participate in the kiss. Aquan parted his lips to let Flamons tongue explore his mouth. Flamon absolutely loved kissing Aquan, because their body temperatures are so different that it creates the best sensation when their tongues meet. After they broke their kiss Aquan stared intently at Flamon.
'I...I... lo...love you.' He said. Aquan had said this once before, but under the circumstances of their argument it had gone unnoticed by Flamon. Flamon scooped him up and practically ran back to camp jumping around.
Grasdon was awoken by all of the commotion and groggily open his eyes to see Aerius snuggle closer to him and smile contently while still asleep. He chuckled while watching him, but was once again distracted. He looked up and turned his attention to Flamon.
'What is going on?'
'He loves me, Aquan said he loves me!' Flamon said spinning Aquan around in his arms. Aquan started to feel dizzy so he placed his head on Flamon's chest and closed his eyes. Grasdon couldn't help but smile feeling so happy that his best friend has found love as he did. He fell back asleep leaving Flamon to enjoy his new found happiness.
Aerius awoke first and he quietly made his way towards Aquan. He gave him a gentle nudge, and he awoke.
'Aquan let's go for a swim, I don't want to go by myself.' He said putting on his best puppy dog look. Aquan was very comfortable in Flamons arms, but he was never one to give up an opportunity to swim. The two slowly made their way towards a pond not too far from camp.
Grasdon and Flamon awoke almost simultaneously once they realized that Aerius and Aquan were not in their arms. They felt a sense of fear and panic as they quickly went in search of their missing lovers. A sudden rush of relief washed over them as they saw Aerius giggling and playfully splashing Aquan with water, while Aquan is smiling and trying to block the onslaught with his hands. Aerius was the first to spot them and he quickly flew out of the water and into his lover's arms. Grasdon kissed him on the nose and carried him back to camp.
Flamon stayed and waited for Aquan to come out of the water, but was surprised when the water started to turn light blue. As Aquan continued to swim the water gradually got lighter, until it had become completely clear. Flamon was awe struck at how graceful Aquan was despite his menacing appearance he had underwater. Once Aquan had completely purified the water he arose on top of the water.
Aerius was in a fit of giggles as Grasdon tickled him relentlessly. Grasdon had never heard a sound as beautiful as Aerius' laughter. Grasdon had never met a person who had made him feel so complete. Every time that he was around Aerius he felt a sudden urge to grow flowers everywhere.
'hahahahaha Grasdon Please....... Hahahahaha I can't take it!' Aerius said as he struggled to get away. He absolutely loved all of the attention that he was receiving. Grasdon finally relented and Aerius lay in the grass panting. Grasdon quickly stood up and crouched down away from Aerius' view.
'What are you doing?' Aerius questioned as he regained his breath. Grasdon didn't respond he just kept concentrating. Aerius stood and tried to see, but couldn't. All of a sudden Grasdon stood holding a flower Aerius had never seen before. It was baby blue, but had a pink over shadow and white tips. Aerius had never seen a flower so beautiful.
'Aerius I have made a new flower for you my love, this will be our flower.' He stated while placing it in Aerius' golden locks. He smiled as Aerius clung to him as if his life depended on Grasdon and sobbed.
Aquan slowly made his way to Flamon while walking on top of the lake. Once he reached his destination he gently pulled a hesitant Flamon on top of the water with him as he made his way back to the middle of the lake. Aquan stood on his tip toes and gently placed his lips to Flamons'. Flamon eagerly accepted the kiss and was pleasantly surprised when Aquan started feeling his mouth with the purified water entering his mouth.
Elder Kai stood staring at the erotic display. Yes the time was coming to make his move, and when he did the four princes' won't even know what hit them.

Exactly who that could or should be isn't the focus of this article. Proper execution of the idea is. So, roughly speaking, Yahoo! offers a live streaming package, highlighted by Swift and other big names, that's diverse. Split the potential Yahoo! user base into demographic slices you want to own. Offer a handful of acts Yahoo! will consistently stream (and partner with on other endeavors) in each demo.
Yahoo! enters into a revenue share with each act after paying whatever royalty fees are required (if it can't find a way to get around them or cut special direct deals). The cash piles up fast, particularly if Yahoo! goes after both tours that will wind up on the top grossing lists come year end as well as bands with cult followings (e.g., Phish). It's all about tapping into the passionate music fan who will view the ability to pay to access a tour as Yahoo! and their favorite artist doing them a favor.
Do a Better Job Promoting, Cross-Promoting and Targeting
Create a platform within Yahoo! Screen that takes pages out of the apps the major professional sports leagues use to offer digital access to their entire seasons. Allow users to pay for live and archived access to the Taylor Swift tour or a full year of Taylor Swift for a monthly and/or annual fee. Sort of like Major League Baseball does with its excellent MLB At-Bat app. Do the same with the other acts. Package appropriate names and sounds by genre. Hook music fans on something they want, but have never been offered on a grand or meaningful scale by the music industrial complex.
Then properly promote and cross-promote the darn thing for goodness sake.
There's one thing Yahoo! is doing -- at times, poorly and, all of the time, inconsistently with Yahoo! Screen -- and that's promoting and cross-promoting to and from live concert streaming. It took some time for the Yahoo! homepage to look like this day in and day out ...
At the beginning of the Live Nation deal, you could go to the Yahoo! homepage and see absolutely no promotion of that night's/week's events. Thankfully that changed. Yahoo! can take this type of (wonk, wonk!) synergy to the next level if it ropes in passionate fans of big names with ad-supported and/or subscription-access to entire tours and such.
You subscribe to Taylor Swift, so you might like ... this content over at that section on Yahoo!. You subscribe to Tom Petty, so you might like to know that we'll also be offering subscription access to the upcoming Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band tour. The possibilities are endless. And they become even more dynamic if Yahoo! does what I think it should do and makes a run at Pandora (P) .
Yahoo! could do all of the things the music industry should have been doing for years now. Harnessing and unleashing not only the marketing power, but the passion music fans have for music in so many logical directions. While the music industry accepts a royalty for the right to play a song, smart companies -- and Yahoo! will soon prove if it's part of this group -- do so much more with music than treat it like a tit for tat proposition. They use music as the lead into selling related products and services as well as things that are seemingly unrelated. Yahoo! can do this. It could do a better job of it with Pandora, but it can do just fine on its own if it gets serious about making live concert streaming the multi-million or even billion dollar advertising and subscription business it has the potential to be.
Without Live Music, What Is Yahoo! Screen?
The beauty of the one-offs Yahoo! did before the Live Nation deal and the Live Nation deal itself is that Mayer found a differentiator for Yahoo! Screen -- the live music experience. Until Yahoo! started regularly streaming live shows, no other major outlet has been doing consistently outside of special events and awards shows. As I explained earlier this year, Yahoo! is on the cusp of serving the emotional needs of music fans better than the music industry.
Just about everything else Yahoo! Screen does or could do -- stream programming that already airs elsewhere (e.g., Saturday Night Live), produce original shows in the spirit of Netflix (NFLX) , Amazon.com (AMZN) Instant Video and Hulu -- fails to set it apart from the pack. With live music, however, Mayer found a sweet spot every bit as powerful as live sports programming that nobody else has aggressively tapped. Without live music to differentiate itself, Yahoo! Screen needs an original program to breakthrough in a big way (unlikely). But, even from there, it would need to follow up its own Game of Thrones with something equally as big (even more unlikely). You get the picture. As such, you understand the brilliance of Yahoo!'s move into live concert streaming.
Above everything, Mayer and her marketing team must ensure music fans associate live concert streaming with Yahoo! At times it feels like that association isn't as strong as it should be. But they will change organically if Yahoo! provides consistency to cores of music fans who return to the site regularly to make the most of their tour subscription.
Do or Die Moment
Some folks have said I'm making too much of the live concert streaming opportunity. That's absurd. And it's not a stretch to say that capitalizing on this opportunity represents a do or die moment for Mayer.
What else is she going to be able to do to set Yahoo! Screen apart from the dozens of other streaming video platforms out there? She's not going to secure rights to live sports. And, if she does, it'll cost her. Because the professional sports leagues know how to extract a pretty penny for their products. The music industry doesn't. All it cares about is receiving a pricier royalty.
Yahoo! should take advantage of this by going as direct-to-artist as possible and happily paying whatever licensing fee due labels, songwriters, publishing companies and other stakeholders. Because artists such as Swift and (hopefully) companies such as Yahoo! can monetize music in ways the larger music industrial complex simply doesn't have the visionary capacity to imagine.
And -- bottom line -- where else is Mayer going to find bandwagons that churn out hundreds in millions in sales every year? She's about tapped out the core advertising revenue that keeps Yahoo!'s bottom line stagnant quarter after quarter. She overpaid for Katie Couric, who is every bit as irrelevant today as Taylor Swift is wildly popular. And she dropped a billion dollars on Tumblr not for revenue, but simply for mobile users.
By going hard after live concert streaming with today's top acts with the most passionate fans she's going to a place not only where the money is, but a place that hasn't been manipulated every which way to Sunday. It's a no-brainer. It's there for the taking. And, at the same time as it helps save the music industry, it could also save Marissa Mayer's job.

A Grand Cross is a planetary alignment in the astrology chart. It consists of four planets at 90-degree angles with each other and each being in a different astrological quality.
Every sign of the zodiac is either cardinal, mutable, or fixed. Therefore, a Cardinal Grand Cross happens when all four planets involved are in the cardinal signs of Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn. This brings a very different energy to the Grand Cross than say a Fixed Grand Cross or a Mutable Grand Cross, for the cardinal energy is probably the most frustrating of the three because of the lack of patience, even though Grand Crosses can be challenging enough in and of themselves.

SAN JOSE There may be just two months left in the regular season, but the battle for roster spots in still going strong for the San Jose Sharks.
Andrew Murrays departure the veteran forward was waived by the club on Monday morning, as it hopes to reassign him to Worcester was a reminder of that competition. Players like Benn Ferriero, John McCarthy, Jim Vandermeer and Tommy Wingels are all expected to compete for either playing time or a spot on the team when everyone is back and healthy.
Todd McLellan said after Mondays practice that with Murray now off of the active roster, it gives us an opportunity to evaluate some of the other younger players the John McCarthys, and Wingels, and the Ferrieros while they are here, to see what we have and where they fit in.
The Sharks fourth line and their roster, really has been in a state of flux since Marty Havlat was hurt in late December. Wingels, Ferriero and McCarthy were all still with the AHLs Worcester Sharks when Havlat suffered a partially torn hamstring on Dec. 17 against Ottawa.
Ferriero got the first chance, and was recalled immediately after Havlat went down. He scored goals in three of his first six games back, but since then, has just three points in 13 games despite playing mostly on the second line. Ferriero was scratched Feb. 2 at home against Dallas before returning in Phoenix on Saturday on the fourth line.
McCarthy was recalled in time for the game on Jan. 21 in Vancouver, with Ryane Clowe and Wingels both hurt. Hes scoreless in five games on the fourth line.
Vandermeers spot on the roster is safe for now, as he provides defensive depth and has the ability to play as a physical forward, too, which he did in the three games prior to Saturday in Phoenix when he was a healthy scratch.
REWIND: Vandermeer adjusting to life as a forward
We really feel comfortable playing him as a forward, McLellan said. But, as a reminder to us and to him, hes still a defenseman. If we need one, he provides us tremendous depth, but with the ability to go up front thats also nice to have.
Wingels, meanwhile, is still recovering from an apparent left shoulder injury he suffered on Jan. 19 against Ottawa. He has resumed skating and theres an outside chance he could play Friday against Chicago, although his return during the teams long road trip looks more likely.
The 23-year-old Wingels may be the most intriguing of the bunch, and played the best game of his brief NHL career just prior to getting hurt. On Jan. 17 against Calgary, the Evanston, Illinois native played a career-high 21 minutes and 23 seconds on the teams top line with Joe Thornton and Joe Pavelski.
He was asked if the timing of his injury made it that much more frustrating.
I think any time you get hurt theres frustration, Wingels said. There was a good opportunity to play. You just try to work yourself back into the lineup now and go from there.
He did play some good games, McLellan said. We gave him every opportunity to have an impact on the game.
His injury set him back a little bit, but with that being said, once we get bodies healthy its going to be a competitive environment for not only ice time, but for roster spots. We cant keep everybody. Given the opportunity and the time on the ice, they have to make good on it, because we will have to get down in numbers.
Sheppard update
James Sheppard skated with the Sharks again on Monday, and still wants to return to a competitive game by March 1. In all likelihood, that would come with Worcester on a conditioning assignment.
He still feels pain in his right knee after an ATV accident in the summer of 2010, but doesnt notice it as much now when hes on the ice.
Once you get warmed up the pain kind of leaves, which is nice. I think your body gets warmed up so naturally it feels better. Then, just the adrenaline and having so many things coming at you takes it away, Sheppard said. I think afterwards its a bit there, but I dont really care about that, as long as you feel good during the game I can deal with that.
Hes still not ready to play yet, though.
The coaches have watched enough hockey to realize when someone is ready and someone is not. Its going to be kind of a collaboration. We both have to agree that Im ready to play, he said.

Kilkenny County Regulators is a Red Dead Redemption posse.
About the posseIn 1901, the county territories of Kilkenny and Tipperary were embroiled in a bitter dispute over land and water rights. the dispute turned to open hostility as each side turned to outlaw gangs and ex-army mercenary squads to enforce their holdings (and in some cases, murder neighbouring rivals). At the height of this conflict the Kilkenny town of Kilmoganny hired a gang of young Irish gunslingers, to form the Kilkenny County Regulators. The intention of the town was to have the outlaws protect the region from bandits crossing the county lines from the Tullaroan territory, that is until the townsfolk realised they'd hired a bunch of alcoholic sociopaths. The Regulators Promptly drank the town dry, burned it to the ground and pissed on the ashes. They now prowl the territories, robbing banks, hunting other gangs and causing chaos and mayhem in equal measures (when not shooting each other for the hell of it). The Regulators operate with a loose code of honor, helping those in trouble from larger gangs etc and rarely attacking lone riders. Those foolish enough to cross the Regulators however soon learn that while they don't draw first, they WILL draw first blood, and once drawn will track an enemy mercilessly before gunning them down, robbing them blind and sexually molesting them (hey, the Prairies a lonely place after all...)
Joining the posse
The Regulators are a tight-knit bunch but will accept new members.Gunslingers wishing to join should be aware that the Regulators insist on this simple code (often at gunpoint):
1)Be a crack-shot
2)Enjoy a twisted sense of humour.
3)Not shoot lone riders till shot at first.
4)Defend lower level strangers from harassment by higher level shitebags.
5)NEVER abandon a fellow Regulator.
Those wishing to join should contact the gangs leaders (mucksavage84 or dutchmeister55) via the PSN to be put through their paces.....

- Leader 2 dutchmeister55

Usually people who smoke them are quitting, and I've heard from people that it doesn't smell or taste of anything at ll because there is no tar.
Does the fact that he is quitting, and that it doesn't smell make you want to date... or would even want to date him?

Yeah I would. It doesn't matter to me personally.00|00|0

Yeah, where is that feature as ive been looking for it to.

I found it yesterday, you would think I could find the docs again…
Navigate to a network device (from inventory), pick the interfaces tab and there it is. Of course I still haven't gotten all of my devices to have the interfaces tab, but that is a configuration problem. I'm guessing maybe snmp isn't set up.
Good luck

- The job requires you to be resilient, said mcscotty. "It can be a real tough job. My mother is a nurse. She spent most of her career in the ICU. Her daily routine included cleaning burn victims, colostomy bags, and tracheotomy tubes. Not pleasant work and the money is average. A lot better ways to earn a living. Plus, shifts take a toll on the body."
- Liz2010 had quite a lot to say: "There are things about nursing you have to know. There's a lot of disgusting work that nurses do and they put themselves at risk all the time of getting viruses. My mother was an RN and she used to come home and tell me that people with AIDs would spit at her and throw their bed pans full of feces and urine at the nurses. She had to deal with bitter people with hepatitis trying to scratch her for trying to set up an IV. You deal with a lot of disgusting things like gangrene and infections that you can smell. If you can't stomach the smells of rotting flesh, seeing blood, gore, and helping people with viruses that could kill you, then don't become a nurse. They earn their money for sure. They are always on their feet and hardly get a chance to sit down. When other nurses call in sick, they have to handle 42 patients in 12 hours. They have no time because of budget cuts and lack of nursing staff. In the 1970s, nurses only had to deal with 10 patients and now they have to deal with 40 patients per nurse. In Alberta, new nurses are not getting the help on the job and the stress is too much, so they quit. Thirty per cent of new nurses quit in Alberta."
The opportunities the profession affords was cited a few times as well.
- Dewey8 is also a nurse and gave this account: "I have been in the nursing profession for the last 39 years. If you want a career in nursing you have to enjoy working with people from all walks of life. The greatest rewards for a nurse are those that make a difference, no matter how small, to the lives of the clients he/she works with. Notice I didn't say 'serve.' Nursing is a lifelong learning commitment in a fascinating field that is ever changing. Not a day goes by where you don't learn something new! Nursing is also very team orientated involving collaboration with other disciplines. Nursing also has diverse opportunities. In addition, it is a very portable profession. Certainly, it is not without the challenges of shift work or difficult tasks. If you are considering nursing as a career, you need to establish whether you are "cut out" for the work by exposing yourself to the health care setting. Certainly, it's not for the 'faint at heart.'"
- If you want to be a nurse, keep up your education in order to take advantage of the other opportunities the profession has, advised Reg Boulette. "If you join the nursing profession, as some of my relatives have done, keep up with your education in the field. This will result in opportunities in nurse practitioner, flight nursing, health program development – positions outside what you would consider the 'usual' hospital environment. This tactic will also keep you employed. As in any bureaucracy, when it comes to cutting budgets, useless administrators will keep their jobs at hospitals, while nurses will be laid off or cut to part time to save having to pay them benefits. Jobs outside hospitals, such as with family clinics, or specialized health outlets, can be more stable."
While most readers felt nurses earned a good living, they determined it shouldn't be a driving force for entering the field.
- On the Globe's website, m77m7 wrote: "If you're in it for the money, it's not the profession for you."
- That garnered this response from M. Lyons, a nurse: "Agreed, you won't survive if that is why you are a nurse."
- Crownline suggested: "$42 an hour in Alberta. Come west."
Ultimately, readers had great things to say about nurses and the series.
- Passerby wrote: "I like this series. I hope a lot of teachers will point out these articles to their students."
- Thunderbold32 wrote: "Nursing is an honourable profession and a difficult one with an aging population and government's cutting budgets. Nurses out there, you have my respect and continue doing the best you can during these difficult times. You are appreciated!"
- Many readers said nurses deserved more money, as JimmieB wrote: "Whatever they earn, it's not enough. They do all the work that overworked and/or snooty doctors don't."
- Bart21 wrote: "I witnessed the good work nurses do first hand when my mother was sick several years ago and I have a lot of respect for this profession. They are worth every penny."
- BeANurseCa sent a link to videos about being a nurse.

Oh man, I haven't shared an actual DIY in quite a while – it's been making me crazy! I just can't find the TIME and with the cold weather upon us here in the Toronto area it's not easy to be outside to work/paint etc.
But one thing I KNEW I had to get done before the winter came was our ridiculous, useless, nothing of a front closet. With five people in this house, we are about to need storage for a lot of coats and boots! What we had was just not going to cut it.
A few months back I shared my closet stress and ideas for what I wanted to do… you can see that post HERE.
So, here is the "before":
Oh my god, I can't even stand to LOOK at this photo!! Whoever lived here before had built this weird bench with a stack of cubbies on top. So bulky and not functional at all. Mind you, our house is almost 70 years old and families sure didn't have the amount of stuff they have now, but still.
Here are a few more photos to give you a real look inside the madness…
This closet has been on my shit list for the six and a half years we've lived here, I'm not kidding. When we bought this house in 2008 it was just me, the hubby and Taya – but even then it was horrid! It's not just that it's small, it's that there is so much wasted space and the way it was put together was just ridiculous.
I knew that one more winter with it would seriously put me over the edge, and aside from that we are hoping to sell this coming spring so I'm trying to tackle my projects for real now.
The one great thing about this house, the thing that sold me on it actually, is the mud room. With a front hall entry so small, having a mudroom out back was amazing:
It was perfect. A place to bring in wet boots, wet dogs and groceries, it was just what we needed. It's insulated, but the many windows are not, so it is really only a three season room. It's usable in the winter, but it's COLD. Anyway, after about a year of living here we noticed that the floor was starting to sag, and the exterior door wouldn't shut properly. It was annoying at first, but then it got bad. The room is essentially not usable at all right now – the back door will not close at ALL and the floor is bad. My husband needs to rip it up and start from scratch, so what does that mean? Yup – we are all forced to used the tiny front hall.
Which brings me back to my issue with the closet.
So, two days ago I just walked up, opened the door, and started ripping everything out. Seriously. This is how I operate. I stare at something for six years and then one day just grab a crow bar.
OMG that was so awesome. I've never really demo'd something like that before! So cool! Thankfully it all fell like a deck of cards, so it wasn't too hard. The hardest part was prying the wood strips off the floor. If you look above you'll see them. They are what held the original bench and shelves in place, and they were really hard to get up. But an hour of elbow grease and I had them out. Then it was time to clean the 70 years of GROSS that was hidden in there.
So once I cleared all all the junk, I vacuumed the heck out of it and washed down the walls and the floor. I can't believe how much better it was already looking!
Then I got to painting. I just kept everything white and left the floor for now. I could stain it to match the rest of the front hall, or I could just put some peel 'n' stick tile down… but honestly I think just putting mats or boot trays in there makes the most sense. We shall see.
I don't have any pictures of the finished paint job because I just get too excited sometimes and forge ahead. My plan was to take the shelf at the very top and put it on the other side of the closet so that it ran above the coat rod. Then I wanted to add shelves underneath where the coats hang so that we had shoe storage. That would leave the right side of the closet basically empty, and that's where I wanted to hang a bunch of hooks for school bags, kids coats, etc.
So, I measured what I would need for the shelves and off I went to Lowe's. When I got back it took me literally ten minutes to get them installed, and I was already freaking out with joy.
I will skip ahead now to the end product… there are still some things I want to tweak (like adding more hooks up high for my husband's hats, and some baskets on the top shelf for our hats and mitts, etc.) but overall, it's done – and it's bloody amazing!
I hung some super high hooks, since long coats can't be hung on the rod and I also wanted an easy spot to put snow pants in the winter. I am SO SO SO happy with it, and I cannot believe it took me over six years to get it done. I'm really proud of myself, though. I did it 100% on my own and it cost $30. Yup.. that's it. I already had the white paint, and the MDF that I had cut was $30 on the nose. Can't beat that!
Don't let these things eat at you, people… learn from my mistakes. I could kick myself for waiting so long, but instead I will just open the door every time I walk past it today, and admire its amazingness.
Becuase it's super amazing!!

I looking for any help in removing the starter from a 1983 GL1100I. I can get as far as backing the starter out of the engine (this is actually moving the starter forward), but the gear that goes into the sproket will not clear the engine to allow me to pull the starter out. I tried dropping the exhaust, removing the shifter, and taking off the engine guard and still can't get the darn thing out. I tried on the stand (scary for a few minutes) and on the side stand still no luck. I think the inboard stud for the exhaust may need to be removed but it's pretty rusty and i'm afraid it might snap off inside and i'll have worse problems. Does anyone have any suggestions on the "removal"? I'm just lacking between 1/8" - 3/32". I can't see where the instructions for this say to tip back and rotate out or whatever because i've tried it all and it no workie. I'd gladly buy someone a beer that can get this thing out for me! HELP!!

Re: STARTER REMOVAL HELP
You need to remove the one stud. That will give you what you need to get it out. Try spaying it with blaster and let sit over night. And then try it again. Hope this helps

Re: STARTER REMOVAL HELP
I have a 1981 Gl1100I and have had the starter out several times and never had to pull the stud. I would wait to see the response from others before you pull the stud. Do you have the nut off because many times the stud comes out with the nut and your problem would be over. Don't read the manual because it tells you you have to pull the engine. Be careful not to drop the sprocket off the chain. Good Luck!!
