How to deal with good person who is a bad roommate
February 21, 2008
I bought a house a few months ago, shortly thereafter asked a friend and former housemate to move in with me, and am now feeling almost constantly enraged by behaviors that didn't bother me so much when I didn't own the house we shared. In fairness to myself, I think some of the behaviors are genuinely unfortunate--but I need some advice on what are reasonable limitations and how to stop my own complete transformation into a raging, miserable Nazi.
My roommate leaves unwashed dishes around, and seldom lifts a broom or takes out the trash or recycling. She leaves a space heater on almost constantly so she can wear tank tops inside in the winter, and the utilities--which I made the mistake of including in her monthly rent--have doubled. She brought home a new boyfriend a week after she'd moved in, and he was over 3-4 nights a week until she dumped him two weeks later and the next day brought home a new one. I didn't much like the first boyfriend, and certainly wasn't happy with sharing a roof with him so frequently. When I bought a house, I wasn't planning on sharing it with random 20-something guys I'd never met, who my roommate has no qualms about leaving in the house when she goes off to work (the boyfriends have been unemployed). I know a renter needs to be comfortable having guests and it's none of my business whom she dates, but I feel uncomfortable in my own house. Buying it was of course a major investment and no small emotional and financial feat, and in exchange for all that I feel I should at least be able to enjoy some sense of sanctuary and control.
On the plus side, my roommate loves and tolerates my dogs (now three of them) and my boyfriend (who is over 3-5 nights a week) and is almost unfailingly relaxed and friendly. I never had a talk with her about my expectations and comforts before she moved in; when we lived in a group house before she wasn't a serial dater and seemed to keep things clean. Also, now that the house is my own I feel more protective of it and my own expectations have risen.
From looking at my finances I think I can also afford not to have a roommate; my boyfriend also plans to move in this fall at which point I'd like to have the house to ourselves. My problem is that since my roommate is a friend and I really like her as a person--she is 10 years younger than me but in many ways I really enjoy her personality and who she is--I can't bring myself to raise any difficult issues with her. Since she never says anything awkward or uncomfortable to me, I can't seem to ask her to use the space heater less, do her dishes, or take out the trash. Not to mention say anything about the ever-changing flux of arrogant young guys.
I know I am within my rights as the property owner to say all these things, and to have her move out whenever I choose as long as I give her ample notice--I am simply wondering what is the decent way to do it. Are my concerns at all reasonable? What's a good way to raise them with a decent, kind, if very lazy, friend and roommate? Should I tell her as soon as possible that I'll want her to move out by the fall, so she doesn't get used to the idea of staying there for years? Should I take the passive aggressive way out and make it so uncomfortable for her to be there that she leaves on her own volition? Yikes!

I bought a house with the idea that I would rent a room out. It really didn't work very well, for many similar issues you have brought up. The reason many people buy a house is so that they have total control over their living arrangements. I would tell your roommate that your boyfriend is moving in in the fall, and that you'd like to have the summer to yourself to get prepared for that. Give her a date that she needs to be out and work with her to be flexible between now and then. Tell her if she finds a place earlier, you are fine with that too.

Honestly, I'd say that this would be the big mistake. I've had enough roommates over the years, and I've learned that even with people you've known for years, you need to sit down and discuss your expectations.
What I would recommend is to NOT take the passive aggressive route. I would sit down with her over a (insert beverage of choice) and discuss what you are or are not comfortable with. Then I would also mention that you are self-sufficient enough that you feel that by the fall you plan on living alone. Explain that as soon as possible.
I think your concerns are valid. My current roommate and I had a talk before we moved in together discussing these things, especially the "girlfriend issue", and it's best to know where you both stand on this.
It could be that she feels it's fine to have her boyfriend around because you have yours around, and she may not understand the difference.

This seems like the only reasonable solution. As you said, you didn't lay out rules like "do your dishes" or "don't bring your boyfriends over so much" before she moved in, and while I can understand why you didn't, you can't expect someone to read your mind (even if you feel like your wants are reasonable).
In the meantime, though, it's pretty unlikely that she's going to suddenly reform into the roommate you want her to be, so you either have to take a deep breath and have a semi-uncomfortable conversation with her about the behaviors you want her to change, or you have to decide to live with it for a few months more.

Your concerns are certainly valid. I think you just need to sit down and be honest with her. It's very likely that she hasn't realized that her actions are negatively effecting you, and if she doesn't know anything's wrong there's no reason for her to change her actions.
When it comes to having boyfriend's over, I would allow her to have guests who stay at night, but ask her to not have them over when she's not there. Just tell her that it makes you uncomfortable to have her guests in the house when she's not there. That's perfectly reasonable.
Maybe bring up chores in a casual fashion and ask if she thinks it would be helpful to do some sort of chore schedule or chart so that they're done more evenly? This would help with taking out the trash and recycling, but not so much with the dishes, which you probably just need to talk to her about.
Open communication is they key in any roommate situation. You need to talk to her about what's going, because a negative living situation can negatively effect your friendship, and you don't want that to happen.

I had this exact same problem - I didn't realize the difference in mindset between being the owner of the house and all the responsibilities that it entails; and being a peer in a jointly-rented house. I was lucky enough to have only a roommate for a fixed period of time, and no financial need to have a roommate.
But in your situation, it seems the problem is a lack of communication between you and your roommate. Since you own the house and have the ability to kick her out (and are already considering it), you need to draw up some basic rules that must be obeyed for you to continue having a roommate. Rules in hand, you have to meet with your roommate and come to some kind of agreement. If these rules cannot be met, then both sides have some idea for the separation.
Right now, it sounds like you are going towards the "landlord who all of a sudden goes crazy and kicks out the roommate" situation, which is bad for your friendship. The sooner you raise your concerns, the sooner that they can or can not be addressed and you can decide what to do next. Right now, your roommate is blissfully unaware that you have these concerns and assumes that nothing is wrong. You two are not peers; you are the landlord and need to take control of the situation.
Since you haven't stated your roommate has any kind of renter's agreement, I would assume no such thing exists and they are living in your house solely of your goodwill. There may be an implied month-to-month contract. However, if you both separate peacefully, then these things become less of an issue.

sulaine is exactly right.
And I think she's free to be messy (ie not sweeping) within reason (do the dishes within a week, or whatever's needed so they don't grow mold).
I think you could mention that the "utilities included" doesn't mean "as much utilities use as you want" it means "normal utilities use", so you're going to ask that she stop using the space heater so much or else switch over to paying for the electric if she wants a luxury level of heat. Otherwise she's just (maybe unintentionally) screwing you out of money, which isn't a thing a friend would like to do. She may not realize how expensive it is, if she hasn't lived on her own very much.

You sit down and have a calm conversation with her. Don't be mean or hostile or passive aggressive, the latter is horribly obnoxious and juvenile. Just state that utilities have been significantly higher than anticipated and you'd appreciate her doing her part to turn off heaters/lights/TV/whatever when she is not actually using them. And tell her you expect her to do dishes and cleanup after herself in a timely fashion. No need to make a production.
I did the same thing regarding utilities recently, though via email since it's rare that all four of us are in the house at the same time. Since the email I've at least not found a space heater left on unattended, nor a bathroom window left cracked open in a Boston winter.
Obviously in your house you've got the "right" to state who should and shouldn't be there. But you don't have much of a leg to stand on with her boyfriends when your bf spends at least as many nights as hers. She'll see any addressing of that issue as hypocritical. But you can say that it makes you uncomfortable having them around when she is at not at the house. That is reasonable.
If you ask her to move out now I suspect it will jeopardize the friendship, and making her miserable to the point where she leaves is a shitty thing to do. But addressing the issue of your bf moving in in the fall and wanting to live by yourselves at that point is sensible. Give her some sort of time frame with reasonable and realistic dates. I think I'd frame it as more about you wanting a place for you and your bf and less about wanting her to leave.
Getting a bit long winded but you're both adults so attempt to deal with her in an adult manner.

Agree with all the advice about talking about it soon. The easy way to frame to the conversation is to start talking about how being a homeowner has changed you - how much more of an emotional bond you have with the house than you did when you were renting. Your housemate is your friend also so she'll empathise and you can go from there about how her behaviour was is bothering you.

I think if you just let her know now that she needs to move out by a certain date in the fall (or whenever) so your man can move in, a lot of these issues will be resolved or at least diminished as a result. For instance:
1. You don't have to hurt her feelings by implying she's not a good housemate. It's a simple next-step-in-life thing. A good thing. Those are good terms on which to part roomie ways.
2. Any extra cleaning/paying/worrying you need to do in the mean time won't seem as bad with an end in sight.
3. If you also let her know that it's totally fine if she wants to move out earlier, then that's also a win-win. Gives her more flexibility in her search for a place, while leaving the possibility of getting your house to yourself earlier than planned.

If you're going to talk to her about the boyfriend issue, be clear about what differentiates her having her boyfriend over 3-4 nights a week and you having your boyfriend over 3-4 nights a week or she's going to think you're just being hypocritical. Is it that she's only known them a short time? Is it that she lets them stay in the house when she's not home? Ask for changes that seem reasonable to solve your specific issues -- not bring a buy home until she's been seeing him for X weeks, making sure they leave with her, etc.

I agree with LobsterMitten that at the very least, you can mention the space heater bit. Just point out that utilities have gotten really high, and that it's terribly wasteful. There is nothing out of line about that. I nag my roomies about turning lights out, and I don't even own the place. But it's an expense that's shared, and it's really wasteful for lights to be on when we're gone, so I mention it. So just tell her you want her to use the space heater less.

You might be friends, but a renter/rentee relationship should still stay professional and respectful. I would either raise the rent or change the way utilities are being charged (split 50/50, or have her pay them and
half the difference on what she already owes you.) But I wouldn't make this a sudden decision, instead give her about three months notice...you haven't been upfront with her so far so it would be unfair to spring this on her all of a sudden.
I think a lot of the frustration you're having is not really *what* she's doing, but how she is taking advantage of the nice renting deal you've set up for her, while not really acknowledging what it is costing you in money, patience, and privacy. You really do need to sit and discuss how she can take part in being aware of the impact she has on your privacy, and likewise in the other direction if some compromises can be arranged. But for the most part so far there's been a lot of bottled up resentment that needs to be rationalized out and taken care of before you can move forward. If otherwise she is a good friend, that is potentially the best kind of renter you could have to help pay your mortgage. You may have a little more patience with her on things that would annoy a standard landlord, and she will have more patience with you when it comes to fulfilling landlord duties such as repairs etc.

You should really look into rental rules and regulations where you live before you initiate anything. You need to know what your rights and responsibilities are as a landlord;you need to know how to legally evict your tenant.

Give her 60 days, or 30 days if you're completely disgusted. 60 days, written, and then reminders every 15 days.
Next time, use a lease.
Of course, w/o a lease, you could tell her to GTFO right now if you wanted to. Also, it's your house, so feel free to enforce a "no opposite gender houseguests" rule.

Every time I interview a prospective roommate, I give the "since I own the place, I'm more compulsive about its condition" speech; generally it still falls on deaf ears. I've found that doing short-term leases, with a formal lease and everything, is an ok solution: people are often willing to pay more for flexibility than they would for a year-long lease, and I know that I can put up with most behavior for only a few months.
If you want to ease her in to paying for utilities, perhaps introducing it at the same time as a small reduction in rent would be helpful. Although having the condo lit up like a Christmas tree every time I come home still gets on my nerves, I've put CFLs in all the fixtures so rationally it isn't such a waste; would any improvements to the house's HVAC system (or even plastic over the windows) make you feel better about the heating?
It might be a cheater's way out, but I tell all my roommates that the neighbors with young kids downstairs and across the hall will get upset at noise at odd hours, so it's not just me being personally the enemy of all fun when I ask them to turn down their music or quiet down on the phone.
Now that I've revealed myself as an unreasonable and tyrannous landlord, is anybody looking for a room in the Boston area for this spring?

Roast Beef for Church Dinner
OK all since you were of such great help with my Chicken Pot Pie dilemma; here's a question.
I'm doing a church dinner in October. Roast Beef is on the menu. Now, since I do a small catering out of the lower level of my home ( never did a quantity of roast beef; since the area where I live people crave stuffed cabbage and pierogies) I would like to roast the beef home; slice it and be able to reheat it in an au jus hoping it wouldn't get tough or fall apart and then serve a gravy on top of the slices since the meal will be plated at the kitchen and not served at table. I was think along the lines of Top Round or Sirloin Roast. I've done eye roast on a smaller level but it just doesn't seem to have the taste either one of the two I mentioned have. Any ideas? It will be for approx. 150 people. Thanks ahead.
Whoever chose roast beef? Apart from fish there can't be many things less suitable for this type of operation!
Anyway, I think that sirloin taken fairly slowly to about 125 internal and allowed to cool is your best bet. This could be done a day ahead. I guess you'll need about 60 to 70 pounds. More if the football team's coming.
Good luck.
re: Robin Joy
Our pastor chose the RB. No ;-) no football team - mostly middle aged. Thanks for the tip though.
I think you'll be fine with top round or bottom round. Even the eye roast will be fine with a nice jus, and with your experience, I'm sure you'll be able to get some nice flavors on the plate!
I'm sure cost and availability come into play, too, so know that you can choose from several cuts and go with what works for you.
That's a lot of beef!
re: monavano
LOL. Thanks for the input. I'm leaning toward top round. Probably will sliver some garlic here and there, brown and roast. I'm really very apprehensive when I do have to serve RB. Aside from Rib Roast one can never tell. Yep it is a lot of beef. Ugh the thought.
re: Sarika
Was going to suggest the garlic slits and maybe a nice herb rub. It'll taste great-- I just don't envy all the slicing!
ps... serving rolls or good ole' white bread with it? Must sop up the juices!
re: monavano
M-M-M-mmmmmmmmmm. Fortunatetly I do have a pro slicer so it shouldn't be as tedious.
re: Sarika
You are golden then!
Maybe you should check with the pastor. Around here, when the church suppers advertise roast beef, they really mean pot roast. BIG difference. Maybe your pastor really means pot roast.
re: Robin Joy
Ahaaaaa...usually "I" wind up doing a good bit of that; rather my husband and I...but on the Q-T :-))))
Many years ago I was kitchen help in a day camp and we roast beef for 800 kids and about 125 in staff. What I learned: Two days before.
The top round was rubbed with salt, black pepper, granulated garlic, placed in large roasting pans, with a celery, onion, carrots and an inch of water. Roasted until an internal of 120 degrees.
One day before: slice the cold roasts very thin, and pile slices in vertical stacks, in clean foil serving pans,with the more well done slices on the bottom, rare in the middle and the balance of the well done as you did on the bottom. Remove fat from roasting pans, reserving for a roux for your final gravy. Cover stacked beef with foil and add one cup of low sodium beef broth per 5 lbs of sliced beef in panbottom.return to fridge.
Day of:
re: PHREDDY
Ah! Don't leave us hanging. This is very informative!
re: PHREDDY
Day of: ???? Puh-lease continue. Interesting. :-))
re: PHREDDY
To finish my previous post:
Reserve pan juice and veggies . Reheat pan juices and strain juices discarding veggies. Make a roux with pan fat and flour, add hot pan juices for a nice gravy to be served alongside. This should be done a few hours before serving.
Next take pans of sliced meat and place them in a 300 degree oven for one hour or when you get an internal temp between the innermost slices of 125... It might take a bit longer depending on the height of the sliced stacks.
When you serve place pans of beef on a heated serving station , of course the hot gravy along side. If people like well it is on top, rare in the middle, Au jus in the pan , thick gravy along side.
You should need about 4oz of gravy per person or about 3 gallons total gravy. My estimation four tablespoons of equal part flour and fat per quart of gravy. You will definitely supplement with two gallons of beef stock, along with some kitchen bouquet or the likes.
What's nice about this method, if the meat is tough , slicing it thin, resolves that issue. Cooking and slicing it cold the day before affords you the luxury to stacking meat in trays of well, med, rare. Worked for 900!
Sorry about the in complete post, one of my employees reminded me I was late for our Wednesday senior execs meeting!
Let me know if you need more detail and remember good planing equals a good meal!
re: PHREDDY
Waiting with baited breath...
re: PHREDDY
You have incredible food memory- like an elephant! Wowzer!
dfrostnh mentions it, but I would consider the humble pot roast.
I made one from the James Beard American cookbook, and it was so much like roast beef I was floored. I personally have an aversion to the idea of pot roast, I think of it as stringy meat in gravy, but this sliced up just like roast beef. And of course it's much more cost effective for a crowd.
To summarize the recipe, which you would of course need to increase:
Dust with flour a 4-5 lb rump, chuck or round. Brown it on all sides in butter & oil. Then add pieces of an onion stuck with cloves, bay leaf, s&p, thyme, 1 cup water or broth. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer on low heat stovetop (which I did) or in 300 degree oven ~2 hours. I think I went longer.
When tender, cool it down; next day skim off the fat before reheating. Thicken the gravy with buerre manie if you'd like.
ETA: This sounds similar to PHREDDY's proven method; I'd go with his/hers!
re: robt5265
Might be a cost issue. BTW what is the budget pp for the meat?
re: PHREDDY
PP budget 7.00
re: robt5265
Agree, could be a cost issue. I think you get more shrinkage too.
re: robt5265
Sounds like an incredible possibility. Thanks.
re: porker
I think Phreddy has it down. I do know that rubbing it and slits with garlic does an amazing job. I'm making a roast for family and I'm going to try the Montreal steak sprice. Thanks.

MSU football moves up; soccer eliminated
Midwestern State's thrilling, come-from-behind 52-48 victory at West Texas A&M made a big impact on the latest Super Region Four Rankings released Monday afternoon by the NCAA Division II Football Committee.
The Mustangs jumped four places to No. 4 in the rankings, and, if those rankings hold when the playoff field is released Sunday, MSU would host a first-round playoff game at Memorial Stadium.
While the MSU football team — which also jumped to No. 9 the American Football Coaches' Association Coaches' Top 25 — received good news, the MSU men's soccer team saw its postseason streak end at six seasons Monday afternoon.
The Mustangs (10-2-5) swept West Texas A&M and Eastern New Mexico over the weekend, but they weren't in the top three selected from the South Central Region.
Regis (17-1-1) earned the top seed, followed by Colorado School of Mines (14-4-2) and Incarnate Word (12-3-2).
In football's Super Region Four Rankings, Colorado State-Pueblo (10-0) regained the top ranking followed by Ashland (10-0), Chadron State (Neb.) (8-2), MSU (8-1) and Indianapolis (Ind.) (8-2), while West Texas A&M (8-2) remained in the playoff hunt at No. 6.
If the playoffs started today, Colorado State-Pueblo and Ashland would receive first-round byes. West Texas A&M would travel to Chadron State, and Indianapolis would take on MSU in Wichita Falls.
Missouri S&T (9-1), Grand Valley State (8-2), New Mexico Highlands (7-3) and Saginaw Valley State (7-3) round out the 10 teams that are ranked.

A search is underway in Rocky Mountain National Park for a missing 39-year-old man, Troy Green, from San Antonio, Texas. The search is currently being focused in the Bear Lake area.
Mr. Green was planning to attend a conference in Denver. When his wife did not hear from him on January 31, she contacted the Denver Police Department. He did not arrive at the conference today. This afternoon, an advisory was given for his rental car that matched a vehicle found early this morning by park rangers at the Bear Lake parking lot.
Fourteen searchers including two dog teams from Larimer County Search and Rescue are searching the Bear Lake area. Due to extremely cold temperatures, wind and impending darkness, searchers will be brought out of the backcountry tonight. There are numerous trailheads that leave from the Bear Lake area.
Search efforts will begin again early tomorrow morning. If anyone was visiting the Bear Lake area of Rocky Mountain National Park on Thursday, January 31, or today, Friday, February 1, park rangers would like to hear from you. Please call Rocky Mountain National Park at (970) 586-1204.

From Winston to the Williamses, Edwards to O'Leary, Florida State dominates watch lists
- 11:56 am Thursday, July 17th, 2014 by Tom D'Angelo
When the last of the watch lists is unveiled tomorrow a total of 14 Seminoles will be named for the 16 awards, including seven up for multiple awards.
Leading the way on three watch lists each are QB Jameis Winston, CB P.J. Williams and DE Mario Edwards.
Actually, I am taking a very safe risk here that Winston will be on Friday's Walter Camp player of the year list, the last of the awards to be unveiled. After all: Winston did capture the award last season.
Winston also is on the Maxwell POY list and O'Brien QB award list.
Williams is on the Bednarik [More]
Florida State tight end Nick O'Leary named to Mackey watch list
- 11:46 am Tuesday, July 8th, 2014 by Tom D'Angelo

O'Leary, the former Dwyer High standout, was one of three finalists for the award last season. O'Leary, a rising senior, was named third-team All-America by CBSSports.com and Lindy's and All-ACC second team pick as a junior. He is ranked as the top tight end in the country entering 2014 according to Phil Steele's College Football preview.
O'Leary had 33 receptions for 557 yards and seven touchdowns during Florida State's national championship season a year ago. He led all tight ends by averaging 16.9 yards per catch. He [More]

Florida State defense searching for its first three-and-out on opening series of game
- 2:16 pm Monday, September 23rd, 2013 by Tom D'Angelo
Jimbo Fisher isn't calling them "slow starts" – the defense allowing teams to stay on the field more than they would like on the opening series of the first three games – but he would like to see some three-and-outs.
Florida State DE Mario Edwards likely out this week after surgery on right hand
- 1:59 pm Monday, September 16th, 2013 by Tom D'Angelo
Defensive end Mario Edwards will have screws and a plate inserted in his injured right hand this week and coach Jimbo Fisher said he may not play Saturday against Bethune-Cookman.
"He possibly will be out this week," Fisher said. "It all depends how it heals after the surgery."
Edwards was injured in practice last week and played against Nevada with his hand in a cast.
The Seminoles have plenty of depth at the position with Dan Hicks, DeMarcus Walker and Chris Casher expected to help fill the void.

Florida State closes strong on signing day; finishes with second best class in the country according to ESPN
- 7:57 pm Wednesday, February 1st, 2012 by Tom D'Angelo
Among the players who entered the day undecided, Florida State did about as well as it could landing Eddie Goldman, Ronald Darby, Colin Blake and Reggie Northrup.
The class, though, could have been not just a home run but a grand slam had Dante Fowler Jr. not flipped to Florida and Josh Harvey-Clemons and Leonard Williams chose FSU. Harvey-Clemons, though, remains an outside chance considering he is wavering after announcing he would sign with Georgia, but if he has a change in heart, expect Florida to be the one.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
I couldn't disagree more (Welcomes the vote downs). I've been playing since vanilla wow and can say this with confidence. HARDCORE PLAYERS made this game as it is today! Without them Wow would be nothing compared to that. Hardcore = more people, more time put in, more commitment, etc. for the reward of setting a difference between you and the normals. Though Blizzard has extremely shortened that distance over the years. In Wow(vanilla) Raids were pretty much only for Hardcore players, Bc they mainstreamed that with KZ and Grulls:Mag, and Wotlk 10 man were more designed for casual guilds stated by Ghost. Anyone that says 25 man content wasn't for hardcore never cleared Sunwell pre-nerf. Now back to the main point; All hardcore players have left in this game is the little difficult we have and gear in 25 mans if blizzard was to give the same loot to 10 man as 25 man youd see a major lose in players in a very short time. 70% of my guild members only log on during the week for are 25 man content and sarth 3 drakes runs and never show themselves during normal hours of the day. Without that I doubt they would ever log on. The only reason they log on is for the added difficult, waiting for harder content, and the feeling of being appart of something greater. In Vanilla and BC raiding was all about Progression and being able to say I've killed such and so. But with Wotlk they have mainstreamed that to no progression, no sense of reward, no sense of accomplishment; But comes down to what GEAR, and achivements. Right now the majority of the hardcore community is relying on Uldar to spark something in us again to feel the need to get a big group of guildies together and conquer something new. But after a few months of farming were going to end up exactly where we are now... Bored,empty, mainstreamed, and nostalgic. To take away the gear difference between 10 and 25 man content would be killing off the people that made this game what it is today. HARDCORE PLAYERS!

Happy Friday, Loves!
I'm off for a much needed, greatly anticipated long beach weekend and normally I'd be really good at over-packing for it. But for this particular trip I am determined to pack light and just right. It's only three days and two nights, after all, and what good is a quick get away if it's not spent relaxing in comfy, casual, chic summer clothing? Well, that would be just no good at all.
Here is my short and chic packing list of absolute must haves for the sun and surf. . .
- Maxi dress (simple black can double as a daytime beach cover up and add a long necklace for cocktails on the deck at night)
– Light white linen pants (can't actually think of a time when these would not be appropriate?!) – Cut off denim shorts (obviously)
– Maxi skirt
– Tank tops in gray, white, and black
– White oversized button down shirt (chic cover up at the beach and adorable tied at the waist with a maxi skirt in the evening)
– Two (2) bikinis to mix and match
– A cozy sweater or sweatshirt for chilly late nights
– Flip flops (in washable rubber)
– Casual sandals in leather or rope
– Beach towel
– Oversized sun hat (or baseball cap, depending on your personal beach wear style)
– Sunscreen
– Sunglasses (admittedly, I will likely bring no less than five pairs – also likely I'll come home with six or seven)
Have I forgotten anything?? Ah well, the most important things to pack are a chill attitude and a chilled bottle of Sauvignon Blanc (always from New Zealand) anyway :)
You can also check out more tips on Beach Bag Beauty Essentials you can grab on the way to the coast here.

David Harris on Arizona v. U.S., Case Testing State Immigration Powers
Professor David Harris discussed the Supreme Court arguments in Arizona v. U.S., in which the Court will decide whether federal law pre-empts any attempts by a state to enforce immigration law. In a column on Pitt's JURIST web site, Professor Harris said that the real and intended impact of the law was to use fear and intimidation to force Latino immigrants to leave. Read Professor Harris's JURIST column here.
Professor Harris was also quoted in Law.com's story on the case, explaining why state and local police in Arizona and across the nation do not favor laws that force them to engage in immigration enforcement. According to Professor Harris, the police need the help of all residents in immigrant communities, legal or not, in order to control crime. Police leaders across the country know that "if they get sucked into enforcement of immigration law, those important relationships are in jeopardy." See the Law.com story here.

Wairarapa food vendors are outraged over being shut out of Wings Over Wairarapa in favour of an out-of-district caterer, who they claim grossed $200,000 at the event.
John Mills, spokesman for Wairarapa Food Vendors, said the airshow's organisers failed to support local businesses by letting the contract for supplying food to Baxters Catering of Wellington.
He said district councils in Wairarapa had contributed to Wings Over Wairarapa, and the councils had featured in radio advertising campaigns supporting local business.
The food vendor's organisation has challenged Wings Over Wairarapa and Masterton District Council to explain why local vendors were not included.
Masterton Mayor Garry Daniell acknowledged receipt of a letter and referred it to Wings Over Wairarapa for a response.
Wings Over Wairarapa chairman Bob Francis said yesterday that allowing Baxters to supply food was strictly a business decision.
It had guaranteed the organisation a return of around $20,000 and had to be seen in the context of the overall running costs of the airshow, he said.
"Along with Destination Wairarapa we are looking at the economic impact on the region of Wings.
"It has brought a multi-million dollar benefit to Wairarapa when things like accommodation, restaurants, cafes and petrol sales are considered," Mr Francis said.
He said the budget for staging Wings Over Wairarapa was $960,000 and the committee had to shoulder major risks such as a dependency on the weather. "We had to make the event financially viable and to get a lot of money at the front end," Mr Francis said.
Wairarapa Food Vendors would again be considered as suppliers next time the airshow was being planned, he said.

Albany - It's one of the worst illegal dump sites the director of Keep Albany Dougherty Beautiful has ever seen, and here's why: A pile of trash was dumped over a bridge off of Gravel Hill Road and into Dry Creek in Southeast Dougherty County.
Judy Bowles says what's so bad about this pile of trash is that when it does rain, water will carry it down the creek, and some hazardous materials could even get into the water. A warrant has been taken for 20-year-old Prichard Colby of Albany and 51-year-old Debra Mills of Leesburg. Only problem is, code enforcement officers can't find them and they need your help.
Bowles said, "It's a health hazard. It's just inexcusable. It's against the law. It's going to cause problems for the ecosystem if it gets into the waterway. There's nothing good about it."
Investigators say it was easy to find out who the trash belonged to, personal items were dumped in the creek bed. If you know where Prichard Colby or Debra Mills may be, call Code Enforcement at 438-3913.

" Brand: Impulse / Type: Body Spray / Suitable for: Body "
* Prices may differ from that shown
I've always found body sprays more long lasting that many perfumes, particularly from the Impulse brand. Although they seem to be aimed at the younger audience, I feel different scents attract different age groups, and 'Very Very Pink' is definitely a favourite of mine at the moment! A gorgeous sweet, floral scent with a touch of vanilla at a bargain price - What more could a girl want?! I've received a number of compliments when wearing this spray, from both males and females, and knowing that I smell lovely and fresh all day long is a real ego boost! So try the Impulse range - I guarantee that you will find a scent you adore! If you fancy changing things up a bit, I find it much more purse friendly to buy a range of body sprays than a couple of bottles of expensive perfumes! So they may not last as long, but they certainly smell as good!
I absolutely adore this product! The impulsive spray offers a beautiful floral and fruity scent with a subtle hint of vanilla , this product brightens up any ones day. It is widely available in a wide variety of stores including supermarkets and popular hight streets stores including small convenience shops which is another plus for anyone looking to find a regular supply. I would Highly recommend this impulse spray to anyone that likes a subtle and refreshing scent and wants a break from their typical daily perfume. Whilst wearing this product I was surprised at how many times people commented on the lovely aroma of this spray, As a young consumer I will definitely be purchasing many more Of this product not only me however many of my friends will also be purchasing this fragrance. I am yet to ind some one who does not appreciate the beautiful scent of this product.

Actress/singer calls 'Hunger Games' actor 'hubby' in Cosmopolitan interview
UNCONFIRMED: Rumor has it the young couple secretly tied the knot
Despite numerous publications gushing over Cyrus' comments in Cosmopolitan, a rep for Hemsworth confirmed to People that the rumors aren't true. The couple have been engaged since May 2012.
In the lengthy interview with Cosmopolitan, set to hit newsstands Feb. 5, Cyrus, 20, talks about how she's happy to be out of the dating pool: "I'm so happy I'm married, because you guys are so cruel." Cyrus' rep has not commented on the rumors.
Cyrus' remarks add even more fuel to the rumors of their wedding taking place before the holidays. In December, she tweeted photos of Hemsworth and her posing by a Christmas tree and sporting bands around their ring fingers.
In the event that Cyrus and Hemsworth, 23, still are merely engaged, the former "Hannah Montana" star has said she wants a small, private wedding.
"I can't even get coffee without a million paparazzi following me, so I don't know why anyone thinks I'm going to have this huge, extravagant wedding," Cyrus said. "That is so not who I am."
Most-anticipated movie
"Hunger Games: Catching Fire," in which Hemsworth plays Gale Hawthorne, claimed the title as this year's most-anticipated movie at MTV Movie Brawl 2013. The movie hits theaters Nov. 22. (Watch a trailer here.)
The first installment in the trilogy, "The Hunger Games," earned nearly $700 million worldwide. In North America, it was the 13th-highest-grossing film, bringing in $408,010,692.

1. Cullen hit Joey up for 'money', which, it so happens is C's new favorite word.
2. C was so excited in the morning that 'JoJo' was still here, he insisted on sitting with him, even though poor JoJo was actually still sleeping.
5. JoJo was a good sport who went down slides.
6. Exasperated, but still not giving up. After this park trip, C was so tired, he refused to eat lunch and opted instead for a 3 hour long nap.
7. After nap, they had cocktail hour. Cheers!

Via: Google | News Archive | Tags: Google, data center, Enterprise, Carbon footprint
i like the fact that google is trying to be green and backing it up. So many companies claim that they are "green," but only do it because they are trying to make extra money. Its good to see at least google is practicing what its preaching.
Google is a whole lot greener than most companies who merely buy carbon offsets which is basically promising to plant trees but not necessarily doing anything at all.
Is it ACTUALLY possible for a company as big as Google to have ZERO Carbon Footprint?
Even with all their"green" practices and buying carbon offsets, etc... I still find it hard to believe their carbon footprint is ZERO. I think they are leaving something out and possibly exaggerating this claim. What about all the companies and factories they utilize? Does this not count towards Google's footprint?
Anyway good for Google, other companies should use them as an example and follow suit for sure. I've always been "pro Google". My answer to most questions in life is "GOOGLE IT" :)
just thinking about it.. how many other really big comapanies can claim they get get 30% of their energyfrom renewable resources? Google plans to improve that to 35% in 2012 way cool. Would be interesting to just google some of the others and likely to get a boatload of the renwewable PR spin cycle that some business keep claiming rather than doing something being green.
Google is amazing. I find these statistics hard to believe but if they are true, gratz Google!
Well... Google has been adding stuff to reduce carbon dioxide. Adding solar panels, adding gardens if I remember correctly; the fact that they're doing that to all of their facilities proves that their commitment to green initiatives are strong.
This is certainly a thumbs up in my book for Google. Now if they will just not take over the world I would appreciate it lol.
One number I find interesting is that 1 minute of YouTube costs .0002 KW and a search costs .0003 KW wow I would think that YouTube would consume more electricity than a simple search.
like everyone else... really google? are you sure these are true facts? lol. It really is kinda hard for anyone to believe a company of that size has zero carbon footprints.
Draco, maybe its that when u do a search it has to look it up through all its database and power though it. Where watching one you tube video is streamed from the server with out as much background work. (just my guess)
The true energy savings come from other companies who use Google to power their email. Instead of having to run it's own servers and wasting resources, it's being handled at Google efficiency.

7 Secrets of Toddler Discipline (cont.)
Giving choices also shows that you respect your toddler and recognize the child's feelings. Asking your child if he or she wants to bring a favorite book in the car, or take along a snack, can make the child feel as though he or she has some control over the situation while you remain in charge, Lerner says.
Toddler Discipline Secret No. 4: Practice the Art of Distraction
Make your toddler's short attention span work for you. When your child throws the ball against the dining room wall for the 10th time after you've said to stop, it's pretty easy to redirect your child to a more productive activity, like trading the ball for a favorite book or moving the game outside.
"[Parents] need to create an environment that is most conducive to good toddler behavior," advises Rex Forehand, PhD, the Heinz and Rowena Ansbacher Professor of Psychology at the University of Vermont and author of Parenting the Strong-Willed Child. "If they're into something they're not supposed to do, the idea is not to punish them but to get another activity going or pick them up and put them in another room."
Toddler Discipline Secret No. 5: Give Your Child a Break
Time-outs are one of the foundations of child discipline, but they may not be the best approach for the toddler stage. The negative implication of being sent away can teach kids that they're bad, rather than promote good behavior.
If you do give your child a time-out, limit it to just a minute or two at this age. Instead of calling it a time-out, which can be confusing to children under 3, refer to it as something more positive.
Lerner suggests creating a "cozy corner," a safe place, free from distractions and stimulation, where your child can just chill out for a few minutes until he or she can get back in control. That time away can help you regroup, as well.
Correct bad behaviors, but also take the time to praise good behaviors. "If you don't tell your child when they're doing the right thing, sometimes they'll do the wrong thing just to get attention," Asta says. When you tell your toddler he or she has done something good, there's a good chance your child will want to do it again.
Toddler Discipline Secret No. 6: Stay Calm
When you're standing in the middle of the mall, looking down at your child who's screaming on the floor, and trying to ignore the stares of the shoppers around you, it's easy for your blood pressure to reach the boiling point. It's hard to stay calm, but losing control will quickly escalate an already stressful situation. Give yourself some time to cool off, advises Forehand. "Otherwise, you're venting your own anger. In the end that's going to make you as a parent feel worse and guilty, and it's not going to do your child any good."
"I call it the "Stepford Wife" approach," Lerner says. As your child screams, say, 'I know, I know,' but stay completely calm as you pick him up. Don't show any emotion.
Sometimes the best tactic is to ignore the behavior entirely. "You just literally act like they're not doing what they're doing. You ignore the behavior you want to stop," Lerner says. When your child realizes that his screaming fit is not going to get him a second lollipop or your attention, eventually he'll get tired of yelling.
Your child may drive you so close to the breaking point that you're tempted to spank him, but most experts warn against the practice. "When we spank, kids learn that physical punishment is acceptable. And so we are modeling exactly what we don't want our kids to do," says Forehand. At the toddler stage, redirection and brief breaks are far more effective discipline tactics, Forehand says.
Toddler Discipline Secret No. 7: Know When to Give In
Certain things in a toddler's life are nonnegotiable. She has to eat, brush her teeth, and ride in a car seat. She also has to take baths once in a while. Hitting and biting are never OK. But many other issues aren't worth the headache of an argument. Pick your battles.
"You have to decide whether it's worth fighting about, and about half the time it's not worth fighting about," Asta says. That means it's OK to let your son wear his superhero costume to the grocery store, or read The Giving Tree 10 times in a row. Once he gets what he wants, you can gradually get him to shift in another
Finally, know that it's OK to feel stressed out by your toddler sometimes. "Realize that none of us as parents is

Isn't everyone looking for zucchini recipes this time of year? I am, for a change. For the first time ever–tada!–I am successfully growing zucchini. So now you know my claim of being a barely-competent gardener is true. I always have felt like the only person alive who can't seem to get the hang of zucchini growing. But this year I have three beautiful plants, worthy of landscaping and also quite productive.
So what is the key to my success? Want some gardening tips? I wish I knew. Maybe it's in a sunnier spot, maybe I am watering more consistently, maybe it's because they are planted right next to pollinator-attracting flowers. Random gardeners like me seldom have any definitive answers.
We like the very small zucchini, sliced raw in our green salads. Of course I have discovered that you don't always catch these squash in the small stage. You experienced growers know that somehow a huge zucchini can be very sneaky and hide in plain sight.
Here's a good use for a giant zucchini. This is just a carrot cake recipe with one key ingredient substitution. I made this for a family birthday party a couple of weeks ago, and those who were not in the know (I won't mention any names) just assumed it was carrot cake. This is really a delicious cake, and I don't even really like cake.
Zucchini "carrot" cake
Combine in large bowl and mix thoroughly with whisk:
2 1/2 cups whole wheat pastry flour (you can use regular whole wheat, but whole wheat pastry flour is finer grain, and better for cakes and cookies)
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 1/2 tsp nutmeg
Beat with whisk until light and fluffy:
4 eggs
2 cups sugar
Gradually beat in until thoroughly combined:
1 cup oil
Add dry ingredients, stirring until well blended.
Stir in 2 1/2 cups coarsely grated zucchini (peel and remove seeds before grating)
Bake at 375 in well-greased tube or Bundt pan for about an hour, or in a 13×9 pan for about 40 – 50 minutes. Cool 10 minutes; remove from pan.
Make your own frosting; it really only takes a few minutes. Canned ones have tons of additives and are packaged in plastic–not sustainable. It's easy to make homemade:
Blend 1/2 of a 8-oz package of softened low-fat cream cheese, 1 tablespoon of milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Gradually beat in a 1-pound box of powdered sugar and a little more milk. I am not exact about amounts; I just add powdered sugar and milk till it's the consistency I want. See…wasn't that simple?
