{five minute friday} The #1 Key to Maintaining My Organized Pantry
Friday, September 18, 2015
As I was putting away groceries the other day, it occurred to me how differently I approach that mundane task now than I used to. For years, putting away the groceries meant simply finding a place for everything on the pantry shelves - a box here, a box there, making room or just shoving a box in even if there wasn't room.
Finally, I buckled down and spent several days completely emptying the pantry and fully reorganizing it from scratch. And that time investment paid off! When I stood back and admired my newly organized and pretty pantry, I promised myself I would keep it that way. And you know what? For once, I did! The pantry has now stayed organized for nearly two years, and there is one simple habit that helps me keep it that way.
So, how have I managed to keep the pantry organized for nearly two years when I can't seem to keep my bedroom closet clean for a month? Much of the credit goes to the fact that I took the time to put a well thought out, manageable plan in place for the pantry {which I definitely can't say about my closet...at lest not yet anyway}. But after that - week after week - the #1 key to maintaining the pantry organization is the fact that I now spend five extra minutes after every grocery trip doing one simple thing... getting rid of all those boxes!
When I come home from grocery shopping, I immediately empty everything from the bags, sorting by fridge, freezer and pantry. The fridge and freezer items get put right away, and then I'm left with a counter top that looks like this ... covered in boxes!
And this is the moment when I have to stop myself from reverting to my old habit of opening the pantry door and just shoving all the boxes inside where ever I can fit them. Instead, I force myself to dedicate an extra five minutes to this grocery-putting-away chore that I really don't enjoy. But it's those five minutes that has kept our pantry organized for the past two years, so I sigh and just do it.
I open nearly every box, remove its contents and flatten the boxes for recycling.
A few months ago, I shared my 5 Steps to an Organized and Pretty Pantry, and step 3 is to use appropriate containers. I talk a lot about the benefits of using baskets and bins to group like items together and keep them organized on pantry shelves. But boxes are bulky and they take up a lot of space. Just a couple of boxes can quickly fill and entire basket just like that. And that's why very few boxes ever make their way in to my pantry at all.
Most boxes are typically much larger than their contents, meaning they take up more space than necessary, right from the start. And then, as soon as you start to consume the contents, you quickly end up with half empty or mostly empty box - which is an even bigger waste of space. If I were to keep my food in these bulky boxes, I wouldn't be able to fit everything neatly into my labeled pantry bins, and very quickly I'd be right where I used to be, just shoving boxes in here, there, and everywhere, and the organized pantry would be a thing of the past. The last thing I want is to wind up back at this scary before photo...
Not only do boxes take up a lot of unnecessary space, they also make it hard to know, at a glance, what you're running low on. You can't glance at a box of cereal and know if it's mostly full, or nearly empty. I make a shopping list throughout the week {I keep clipped up on our pantry bulletin board}, but I also like to be able to quickly glance in each of the pantry bins before my trip to the grocery store to see if there is anything else I need to add to the list.
Before I started removing our food items from the boxes, I would find myself staring into the pantry, basically trying to guess what else I needed to put on the list based on my recollection of how many granola bars I thought were left, because it took too much time to check every box. Then I'd wind up coming home from the store with duplicates of some items and without some of the items we actually did need. Doh! This was not only super frustrating, but also made it harder to stay organized, because I just don't have room to store those unnecessary duplicates in our small pantry.
Ok, so that's the why. But now you're probably wondering about the how. How do I keep the pantry organized without the boxes to contain all the loose food items?
Let's start with the large drawers on the floor of the pantry. I use these for the items that are just for the kids, like the fruit and veggie and apple sauce pouches that they love, and snacks in individual serving sizes.
By storing the kid specific items in these drawers, the kids have easy access to independently choose snacks {although I still control their access with a child-lock on the pantry door, so they can't over indulge}. Removing the snack items from boxes before putting them in the drawers makes it much easier for the kids to find what they want and for me to know when we are running low.
These drawers work great for the bulkier kids items, but when it comes to smaller items, they could quickly become disorganized inside the baskets on our pantry shelves. To solve this problem, I use smaller bins to contain loose items inside the larger baskets. For example, within our breakfast basket, I have a smaller bin that I use to hold individual granola bars and packets of oatmeal.
When it comes to foods that aren't individually packaged, I had to decide {when I planned the pantry organization} whether to leave them in their original containers, or to transfer them to reusable containers. I knew that, realistically, if I planned to transfer too many items, it would be hard to keep up after each grocery shopping trip. To maximize storage space in the pantry, while still keeping the system manageable, I chose to only transfer those staple items that I have in my pantry at all times {like flour, sugar, rice and certain pastas}, and those items that are otherwise hard to store in their original containers {either due to inconvenient size or packaging}.
For example, our pantry shelves are just a bit too short for cereal boxes to stand upright, and when I used to turn the boxes on their side, the contents often ended up spilling out. Therefore, in my pantry, cereal is another item that I always transfer to reusable containers as soon as I bring it home from the grocery store. I have three plastic jars designated for cereal that stack right in front of one another on the pantry shelf. I make sure to never buy more cereal than will fit in these three containers.
I use the same containers to transfer the goldfish crackers and pretzel fish crackers that we buy in bulk for the kids, but other types of chips and crackers that I don't buy consistently generally stay in their original containers. There are no hard and fast rules about what to transfer and what not to, it's a matter of finding the right balance for your pantry.
So there you have it - the why and the how. It took an investment of time to get the pantry organization system set up in the first place, but now that we have all of the baskets, bins, and reusable containers organized in place, it only takes me about five extra minutes after every shopping trip to take the food out the boxes and to collapse them for recycling. But that five minutes makes the difference between the pantry staying organized and falling back into the chaos that it once was, which makes it time very well spent!

Amazing. I have to think about whether or not I could pull that off or not and let the info roll around in my brain for a while, but I am dying to know how you made those fabulous labels!ReplyDeleteReplies
It seems daunting, but once you have the baskets and bins in place, putting everything away is so easy, and the time I spend removing things from boxes is easily made up for when it comes time to make my grocery list!

When you're having sex with your girlfriend from behind and you spit on her back so she thinks that you've already ejaculated so she turns around. Little did she know that you have secretly hidden your best friend in your closet as he's been watching and masturbating the whole time. You run towards the closet and open it and your best friend flips you for a standing 69. You both then bust in each other's faces as your girlfriend watches in confusion. You then proceed to walk away holding hands with your best friend, leaving your girlfriend behind as if nothing happened.

Artist Biographies:
• Show Bio for Paul Dunmall
"Paul Dunmall was born 1953, Welling, Kent; saxophones, clarinets, bagpipes, miscellaneous wind instruments.
As told to Watson (1989), Paul Dunmall was a working class lad from Welling who left school at 15 and spent two years repairing instruments at Bill Lewington's shop in Shaftesbury Avenue, London. He turned professional at 17 and, following two years touring Europe with a progressive rock band (Marsupilami), joined the Divine Light Mission, a spiritual movement led by Guru Maharaj Ji and moved from London to an ashram in America. He told Isham (1997), 'I moved to an ashram full of musicians - a music ashram - but it was still spiritual practice. That gave me a spiritual understanding through meditation, Coltrane's music, and all the rest of it, led me to that, and that's been a fundament in my life ever since - that I can actually sit down and meditate and forget my body. I realise how important meditation is in my life... but I don't do it so much these days.' During the three years he lived in America, Dunmall played with Alice Coltrane (in a big band with the Divine Light Mission) and toured for twelve months with Johnny 'Guitar' Watson.
Back in England, he played with Danny Thompson and John Stevens as well as folk musicians Kevin Dempsey, Martin Jenkins and Polly Bolton and then, in 1979 he became a founder member of Spirit Level (Tim Richards, piano; Paul Anstey, bass; Tony Orrell, drums), staying with the group until 1989. During his time with Spirit Level, Dunmall joined the two-tenor front line group Tenor Tonic with Alan Skidmore (1985), played and broadcast with Dave Alexander and Tony Moore in the DAM trio (1986) and formed the Paul Dunmall Quartet with Alex Maguire, Tony Moore and Steve Noble (1986).
In 1987 Paul Dunmall joined the London Jazz Composers Orchestra, being a constant member and appearing on all their recorded output from that date onward. The following year the improvising collective quartet Mujician was formed by Keith Tippett, Dunmall, Paul Rogers and Tony Levin and has continued to be a regular performing, touring and recording group, sometimes augmented by other musicians. Dunmall has also played in a trio with Keith and Julie Tippetts and in Keith Tippett's big band Tapestry. Two other duos have also sprung out of Mujician: Dunmall with Tony Levin (two CD releases) and Dunmall in folk-influenced outings with Paul Rogers. Another regular playing partner throughout this period and up until the present includes Elton Dean.
In 1995, two trios were formed, the first with Oren Marshall, tuba and Steve Noble, percussion, the second with John Adams, guitar and Mark Sanders, percussion, these sometimes coming together as a quintet. More recently, Dunmall has played in another reeds/guitar/drums trio with Philip Gibbs and Tony Marsh and there appears to be regular crossover between all these players. The Paul Dunmall Octet was founded in 1997."
Dunmall also has released a large number of albums and a box set on the UK FMR label, in various configurations and instrumentation.-EFI (http://www.efi.group.shef.ac.uk/musician/mdunmall.html)

Concept of Claiming
Rating: K+ or T, I'm not sure...
A hand stroked Kurama's hair. It was an offer of tenderness that he had not expected. When he made no response, the same hand wound its way through the red strands and fisted tightly in them, holding him still.
Kurama remained motionless, something he would have done for no other. But he had identified the light tread as it approached him, and he knew this other bore him no ill will. Threat, yes; there was a threat there. But not malice; not the kind of threat that could be assuaged through battle. Alertness was his only weapon.
So he held himself still as a small body settled close behind his own; held himself still as a bandaged hand came to rest on his abdomen and the other hand, in his hair, pulled until his neck was bare and arched. He even held himself still when razor sharp teeth came to trace the outline of that arch. He made no effort to hide what the touch did to his breathing; the effort would have been wasted on the one behind him.
Only when the teeth would have closed over his neck did he speak. "Hiei--what are you doing."
Hiei's breath was warm on Kurama's neck for several moments before he answered. "You know what I am doing."
Tension hummed through Kurama's body at those words. Hiei chose not to advance. He could have; he could have tried to take what he was after by force, and they could have fought and struggled and finally determined which of them was stronger. But force would have defeated the point of Hiei's actions. This would be a war of words and touches, not of weapons, and Hiei had won the first battle by being allowed to approach, allowed to tangle his hand in Kurama's hair. Now he did not release that hold, but he did wait, hovering near the kitsune's body, for some response.
It came in the form of a small chuckle, not really amused. "I had not known Haru's taunt lodged so deeply in you."
"He spoke the truth. A well aimed barb in the hands of an enemy, but the truth nonetheless. We should have done this years ago."
"And when did you come to that conclusion?"
"About ten minutes after I incinerated him."
"Be fair, Hiei. Yusuke and I helped."
"It should have been me." The hand in Kurama's hair tightened. "It should have been only me. Repossessing something that had been taken from me. Once Haru tried to claim you--then it was my place to kill him."
"I believe that would be my place."
"No, fox." Hiei's voice was quiet, and firm. "I was the one who came to fight for you when you could no longer fight for yourself. I was the one who could find you. I was the one Haru named when he asked why you had not yet been taken. It is my place."
Kurama shifted, trying to relieve the tension on his neck. Hiei resisted him, again tightening his grip in the red hair; and it was a sign of trust that after encountering that resistance, Kurama made no further attempts. He would have allowed no other the intimacy. He had Hiei had an understanding, cultivated carefully over the years: they spoke the truth to each other, whether with their words or with their faces, their bodies, their eyes; and pretense had so little place between them that their social understandings and preconceptions often vanished. Anything that happened now, in this battle, would be taken at face value.
"Would you do this against my will, Hiei?" The kitsune's voice was silky smooth, and this was the next volley, the next skirmish begun.
"No." The hand on Kurama's diaphragm drifted upwards, one finger briefly tracing the line of Kurama's neck, before returning to its former position. "I will wait until you tell me to."
"That permission may not be as forthcoming as you think."
"Don't be a fool. Haru was wrong, to think he could claim you; but he was right to be surprised you were not already claimed. If it helps you, think of it as a preemptive strike. No one can touch you after this. At the very least, let me offer you that protection."
"I do not need it."
"Liar." Hiei's breath was hot and scornful in Kurama's ear. "This is not the first time this has happened, you know it as well as I. It is, by my count, the fifth time since you acquired this form. Karasu was just the tip of the iceberg. Enough is enough, fox. Let me claim you."
"What makes you think," and anger, genuine anger was creeping into Kurama's tone, "what makes you or Haru or anyone think I should be claimed at all? I am not some frail female waiting for a man to defend or protect her, or a youngling dependant on another's grace. I am a warrior to match either you or Haru."
"Yes. But you have left one thing out. You are a warrior, Kurama, you are brave and cunning and dangerous; but you are beautiful." Hiei's voice was soft, and still the night hummed around them with the power of that one word. "Too beautiful. It is your weakness. People want to possess you. You know the ways of demons as well as I do, and we both know this: someday, somehow, whether you will it or no, someone will claim you." A quiet intensity built in Hiei's voice. "So let it be by your choice. Let it be someone who won't shackle you, someone who you can respect. I love you; let it be me."
Kurama turned suddenly, onto his back. His eyes sought Hiei's, looking for a lie that wasn't in them--looking for the reason those three words, so long and carefully guarded, had so suddenly been surrendered. It was a tactical advance on Hiei's part, holding back the admission until it was needed, and it had worked. Kurama's eyes showed that he was considering. He said, "You know what you are asking."
"You are asking me to bear your mark. To let you claim me as you would claim a piece of land. You are asking me to belong to you."
"I said I knew, fox."
"You would not do this if I asked it of you."
Hiei thought for a moment. He had loosened his grip in Kurama's hair to allow Kurama to turn and face him, but now he tightened it again. "I don't know if I would," he admitted. "It's not an issue. No one seeks to claim me; I am the Forbidden Child, and I am not blessed with your beauty."
"Cursed, then. The point is, no one has ever tried to claim me against my will and I very much doubt anyone ever will. For you, however, it is a very real concern. You know that once this mark was made no one else would ever be able to touch you, to bind you. It's a matter of whether you trust me enough to do it."
"It's not a matter of trust, Hiei."
"If you love me enough, then."
Kurama's eyes flashed. "It isn't about love, either. You are simply making a strategic strike against future enemies."
Hiei lowered his head, but not his eyes. "Partly. Yes." A pause. "I won't deny that's the reason... the reason I'm finally asking. You are my ally, and I won't see you weakened if I can avoid it. I will offer you whatever protection I can." Another pause. "But that is not the only reason I ask."
Kurama did not speak; neither did he yield. Hiei permitted himself a small sigh, resigned to spelling it out. "Fox, doesn't it seem odd to you that since the moment we met, neither of us has taken a lover? Ten years it's been, and not only that, but there's been no hint of interest in anyone else, from either of us. This was just waiting to happen."
The word was spoken with some heat, like a volley, and Hiei stared in blank amazement. "You thought..." Kurama's eyes showed that yes, he had thought, and Hiei slowly shook his head. "Like... Shiori. Or Yukina. Not like you. Never, anyone like you," he added softly. "I thought you knew that."
Again, Kurama probed Hiei's eyes for lies that were not there; again, Hiei met his gaze guilelessly. After a moment Kurama seemed to believe him, but he did not speak. So it was up to Hiei to advance again. "I know there hasn't been anyone else for you. I don't know that I'm the reason for that, but I think I'm at least part of it. Or do you like being alone? Because I don't."
"I enjoy belonging to myself, yes. I enjoy my freedom to belong to whom I would choose."
"Is there another that you would prefer do this, then? Give me the name and I'll bring him to you, I'll put a sword to his neck for leaving you unprotected so long. At least let me do that for you. I won't force myself on you, but I won't see you claimed against your will."
"You would, if you brought another to me," Kurama said darkly. "There is no other I would even consider, and you knew that before you spoke. But if I do this--I can never again--death does not even fully dissolve this bond, Hiei. We should not do this because our enemy taunted us into it, and we should not do it in haste."
He would have turned his head away at that, but a bandaged hand came up against the side of his face, lightly touching his cheek, holding him in place far more effectively than the hand in his hair. "I would have asked you years ago," Hiei said softly, "if I'd thought there was a chance you would say yes."
Silence again fell between them. Hiei no longer could guess what Kurama was searching his eyes for, but he didn't look away. "Why do you want this," Kurama murmured.
Hiei stared. "I've told you, fox. If I do this, no one can cla--"
"That's a reason for me to want it, not you. You're not so self-sacrificing. So tell me why you want it."
Hiei swallowed. The eyes watching his left no room for evasion. "Because I love you."
The jade eyes softened, but the voice was firm. "Is that all?"
"Why should I list my other reasons? You won't listen to them. And they're all one reason, anyway. If I didn't love you, I wouldn't care if you were taken away from me, I wouldn't care if it was against your will or not. I wouldn't want to protect you from all these things that might harm you; not physically, because I know you're stronger than that, but where your vulnerability is... in your mind, where these people play with you. I wouldn't want to murder them in the most excruciating ways I can think of and hang their entrails as a warning to anyone who even thinks of touching you. I wouldn't want to throw myself off a cliff at the merest thought that you couldn't love me, that you would turn away from me, hold yourself back, refuse to give yourself to me because it's the only damned thing I've ever wanted." Hiei drew a breath. "Say no to me and I'll never ask you again, Kurama, but you have to know that this isn't because of them."
Kurama's eyes had gone wide at the mention of the cliff, and he had given a little gasp; now, when Hiei paused to draw breath again, Kurama's hand reached up and tangled in the black coarse hair, in a mimicry of what Hiei had done earlier. He opened his mouth to ask a question, but no words came out. Hiei stared down at him, and his eyes were wild and frightened, but unwilling to flee.
Then, in that moment of vulnerability, one of them moved. Or both of them did. At least one, though neither could have said if it was himself, for suddenly their lips were pressed together though their eyes were still locked. The kiss was like everything else between them, void of pretense or preconception. In that moment the yield came, and they both knew it. When their lips parted Kurama turned his head to the side, this time outlining his neck of his own accord, and Hiei swept his hair off his shoulders.
Hiei bit once lightly, in warning; Kurama again tangled his hands into Hiei's hair. Then, permission given, Hiei bit with all his strength. Kurama cried out, and convulsed, as his energy was stripped away from him. It would come back, eventually, but until then he was weak and at the mercy of the one who claimed him, and when it returned it would be molded, reshaped, and no longer completely his own.
When the claiming was complete Kurama lay spent and shivering, wide eyed and silent and too weak to even lift his head. Hiei lifted it for him; he sat cross legged, and set Kurama's head in his lap, and stroked his hair in silence until the dawn.
A/N: (actually A/C, author's complaints): Why, oh why do my muses have to do this to me at three in the morning? I've been working on this story forever, they could have chosen anytime to finally work with me on it, but noooo, it has to be now... anyway, hope it was understandable.

Party needs "policies designed for the future but rooted in the SNP's radical tradition"
There is a job to be done in helping to deliver our country to freedom. Devolution isn't the destination, merely the vehicle we use to reach Independence.
Throughout my campaign for the SNP leadership I have been entirely straight with the membership. There have been no deals, pacts or fixes and that is how I would lead the party.
In this manifesto I expand on my vision and strategy and go into detail on the issues I have been outlining in the early part of the campaign and how I want to see organisation of the party and the policy development work of the past four years continued and improved.
As leader I would seek to inspire the party to produce a policy platform that was based on an effective social justice agenda allied to boldly pragmatic wealth-creation initiatives: policies designed for the future but rooted in the SNP's radical tradition.
NB My manifesto is available online at http://www.roseannacunningham.net or follow the link in the title of this article

9 Tips for Choosing a Winning Event (Get the Most out of your Marketing Dollar by Attending the Right Conferences!)
Written by Frank Camp on July 5, 2011
It's never too early to get psyched for the upcoming political season, even in a non Presidential election year. June 16-18 I attended the Campaigns and Elections "Art of the Political Campaigning" conference in Washington, DC. This three day session had a good cross section of Political Strategists, Candidates, Campaign Managers and Support Organizations from

Accepted (2006)
Bartleby Gaines: Nah, I'm not going to answer your question, 'cause you guys have already made up your minds. I'm an expert in rejection, and I can see it on your faces, and it's too bad that you judge us by the way we look and not by who we are, just because you want us to be more like them when the truth is we're not like them, and I am damn proud of that fact! I mean, Harmon College and their - their 100 years of tradition. But tradition of what? Of hazing kids and humiliating anyone who's a bit different? Of putting so much pressure on kids they turn into these - these stress freaks and caffeine addicts.
Dean Van Horne: Your phony school demeans real colleges everywhere!
Bartleby Gaines: Why? Why can't we both exist? Huh? You can have your grades, and your rules and your structure and your ivory towers, and then we'll do things our way. Why do we have to conform to what you want?
Dean Van Horne: Your curriculum is a joke, and you, sir, are a criminal.
Bartleby Gaines: You know what? You're a criminal. 'Cause you rob these kids of their creativity and their passion. That's the real crime! Well, what about you parents? Did -did the system really work out for you? Did it teach you to follow your heart, or to just play it safe, roll over? What about you guys? Did you always want to be school administrators? Dr. Alexander, was that your dream? Or maybe no, maybe you wanted to be a poet. Maybe you wanted to be a magician or an artist. Maybe you just wanted to travel the world. Look, I - I lied to you. I lied to all of you, and I'm sorry. Dad, especially to you. But out of that desperation, something happened that was so amazing. Life was full of possibilities, and isn't that what you ultimately want for us? As parents, I mean, is - is that, is possibilities. Well, we came here today to ask for your approval, and something just occurred to me: I don't give a shit. Who cares about your approval? We don't need your approval to tell us that what we did was real. 'Cause there are so few truths in this world, that when you see one, you just know it. And I know that it is a truth that real learning took place at South Harmon. Whether you like it or not, it did. 'Cause you don't need teachers or classrooms or - or fancy highbrow traditions or money to really learn. You just need people with a desire to better themselves, and we got that by the shit-load at South Harmon. So you can go ahead, sign your forms, reject us and shoot us down, and do whatever you gotta do. It doesn't really matter at this point, because we'll never stop learning, and we'll never stop growing, and we'll never forget the ideals what were instilled in us at our place, 'cause we are SHIT heads now, and we'll be SHIT heads forever and nothing you say can do or stamp can take that away from us, so GO!
Uncle Ben: Health insurance my ass! They don't pay for shit. You get sick on a Friday, they only pay from Monday through Thursday. You go to doctor A, they only pay for doctor B. You break your penis, they only fix vaginas!
Sherman Schrader: Ask me about my wiener!
Bartleby Gaines: Uh, Dean Lewis why don't you tell them a little bit about the philosophy here at south Harmon?
Uncle Ben: Look, we throw a lot of fancy words in front of these kids in order to attract them to going to school in the belief that they're gonna have a better life, and we know that all were doing is breeding a whole new generation of buyers and sellers, BUYERS AND SELLERS! Pimps and whores, PIMPS AND WHORES! and indoctrinating them into a life long hell of debt and indecision!
Jack Gaines: I... I, I just don't understand...
Uncle Ben: DO I HAVE TO SPOON FEED IT TO YA? look, there's only one reason that kids want to go to school...
Bartleby Gaines: [quietly] Holy shit...
Jack Gaines: [after long pause] ... Which is?
Uncle Ben: ...To get a good job... To get a good job, with a great starting salary.
Jack Gaines: I couldn't agree more.
Diane Gaines: It is so refreshing to have somebody approach education so rationally!
Uncle Ben: Fuckin' A!
Uncle Ben: [to Group] What is learning? It's paying attention. It's opening yourself up to this great big ball of shit that we call life, and what's the worst that could happen? You get bit in the ass. Well let me tell you: my ass looks like hamburger meat, but I can still sit down.
Sherman Schrader: Who was that?
Bartleby Gaines: Oh, that's our mascot
Sherman Schrader: A sandwich? You're the SHIT Sandwiches?
[Dean Van Horne's BMW explodes as he walks toward it in Harmon College parking lot]
Bartleby Gaines: [cut to Bartleby Gaines and Freaky Student standing on hill on other side of parking lot]
[Bartleby exhales in disbelief]
Bartleby Gaines: Whoa!
Freaky Student: I told ya.
Bartleby Gaines: What the hell happened?
Glen: An explosion of flavor. I'm working with some very unstable herbs.
Uncle Ben: [the panel has demanded to know if there is any real faculty at South Harmon] Present and accounted for!
Dean Van Horne: Oh, for God's sakes! Dr. Alexander, this man has not been a part of academia for three decades! We were on the faculty together at Harmon in our 20s, but he washed out. He's a drunk, he's a degenerate and he's looney tunes!
Sherman Schrader: HEY, ASSHOLE! You're talking about my Mom's brother!
Dean Van Horne: OH, SIT DOWN!
Sherman Schrader: [meekly] Okay.
Uncle Ben: HEY! Why don't you take your *P-h-D*, and shove it up your *A-S-S*!
[all the students cheer]
Glen: Oh look there's my old girlfriend Sarah Pellfan... YOU BROKE MY HEART!
Uncle Ben: You know a lot of people say that college is a time when young men and women expand the way that they look at their world when they open their mind to new ideas and experiences and when they begin that long journey form the innocence of Youth, to the responsibilities of Adulthood... now isn't that a load of horse shit! AHAHAHAHA!
Bartleby Gaines: And they all paid first semester's tuition?
Rory: Yep. 10,000 bucks apiece. I stopped counting after the first 100 checks.
Glen: That's 74 million dollars.
Rory: It's a million dollars, Glen.
Glen: Yeah... In human dollars.
Sherman Schrader: It was your idea to put "acceptance is just one click away"
Bartleby Gaines: Yeah, you put it as "one click away"! You don't make it... clickable!
Bartleby Gaines: Does the run-of-the-mill college experience include stripping you of your dignity? Totally humiliating you, making you wear a... a... frigging hot dog suit?
Sherman Schrader: It's a tradition.
Bartleby Gaines: A tradition?
Sherman Schrader: Yes.
Bartleby Gaines: I've got a tradition for you. Schrader, you've been my best friend since we were 5 years old. That's the only tradition I know.
Kiki: Glen, I love your wads!
Bartleby Gaines: Listen guys, there are plenty of successful people who didn't go to college. Albert Einstein. You know? Pocahontas never went to college. Corey Feldman and Corey Haim; they had a great run. Both Lewis and Clark. Suzanne Somers. Bono.
Sherman Schrader: Right, you date Monica Morlan.
Hoyt Ambrose: That, I do.
Sherman Schrader: Right, I think about her when I masturba...
[slurs speech]
Bartleby Gaines: Remember that time we had to steal my mom's birth control pills?
Sherman Schrader: Yeah, and then Lizzie was born.
Bartleby Gaines: It's worse than that.
Bartleby Gaines: Schrader, come on. Don't be scared.
Sherman Schrader: Scared? I'm not scared. You're scared.
Hands: Schrader, you were scared to try the new flavor of Dr. Pepper.
Sherman Schrader: I told you that in confidence Hands!
Bartleby Gaines: Schrader, you were afraid when you're tooth fell out because you were terrified of the Tooth Fairy.
Sherman Schrader: That's actually a legitimate fear. She was rifling through my shit.
Bartleby Gaines: I could go to jail.
Uncle Ben: Don't worry, you're young. Your butt can take it.
Bartleby Gaines: You said you didn't wanna be a part of this thing.
Sherman Schrader: I didn't want to have anything to do with it. I wanted to be the fourth generation of Schrader to go to Harmon. But then I realized, I would much rather be the first generation of Schrader to go to the South Harmon Institute of Technology. I said it, okay? I said it.
Bartleby Gaines: So you're saying... you're saying you want to be a S.H.I.T. head?
Sherman Schrader: I'm saying I wanna be a S.H.I.T. head. I wanna be a S.H.I.T. head.
Glen: [holding a rambutan in his hand] WHAT ARE YOU?
Monica: There are a lot of things in my life that I thought were real and ended up being fake. Why can't the opposite be true?
Bartleby Gaines: Hey Shrad, do you know any places up near Harmon we can rent?
Sherman Schrader: Oh, yeah I do, actually. I carry around a list with me at all times of abandoned buildings for fake colleges.
Freaky Student: I want to learn how to blow shit up with my mind.
Sherman Schrader: I don't want to be here alone when the walls start to bleed!
Hands: [while Bartleby is on the phone, Glen is on a ladder] Hey Glen! Catch!
Glen: [Jumps off of ladder into bush] Mother of hell!
Bartleby Gaines: Glen since when have you been working at the kwik and stop?
Glen: since I got boned HARD by every college I applied to
Bartleby Gaines: why what happened?
Glen: some political crap I got a zero on my SAT's.
Sherman Schrader: you do know you get 600 points just for signing your name right?
Glen: ...aw DAMNIT!
Bartleby Gaines: Why'd you get fired?
Glen: I got fired for making a shrimp slushy.
Bartleby Gaines: That's disgusting! Why would you do that pal?
Glen: 'Cause I was hungry and thirsty!
Kiki: Come again? No, really, come again. PLEASE come again!
Glen: [ordering around in the kitchen] I got 85 pork tenderloins with balsamic vinegar demiglaze. Ka-blam! Eddie, we gotta pack these paninis for Rory's nature walk. Pronto! And someone get a rabbi down here to bless this chicken. Tomorrow we're gonna go kosher.
Sherman Schrader: This place is awesome cause now I can finally get Hepatitis!
Abernathy: Hi there! What's your name? My name's Abernathy Darwin Dunlap but you can call me A.D.D. on the account of the fact that I have A.D.D., which is attention deficit disorder. You know - everyone used to think it was just an addiction to sugar when I was 6 and my mom used to cry because she thought I would never be like a fully functioning member of society like my neighbor who has Legionnaires' disease.
Sherman Schrader: Yes! Yes! I want it! I want everything you guys have! I want Lilac shirts! I want visors kinda tilted to the side with hair gel coming out of them! I want to have sex with girls that look like this!
Bartleby Gaines: [waving and fake smiling at girls leaving in their yellow buggy] Hey! I hate my life. I'm a huge tool. Have fun being hot.
Dean Van Horne: Rejection. That's what makes a college great. The exclusivity of any university is judged primarily by the amount of students it rejects.
Abernathy: [raises hand straight up in air and jumps around] When I got accepted here, it was the first time my parents ever said they were proud of me!
[everyone claps, whistles and cheers]
Sherman Schrader: Yeah, cool guys. Let's start this fake college, and then we'll go start a meth lab somewhere. Come on, it's a gateway crime. That's how these things start.
Glen: [seeing the cobweb infested kitchen for the first time] This kitchen is bitchin.
Sherman Schrader: [screams loudly and high-pitched]
Bartleby Gaines: Schrader, what the hell was that?
Bartleby Gaines: Uh, this is embarrassing.
Bartleby Gaines: Are you kidding me?
Sherman Schrader: It'd be really cool if you guys wouldn't... tell people I scream like that.
Uncle Ben: I'm going off the grid. No more Franchises, no more botox, no more "Hey, oh, lets clone another goat," and certainly no more sexual harassment lawsuits, what's wrong with saying "Hey, nice tits." When did that go out the window?
Uncle Ben: Right or Left?
Glen: Right
Uncle Ben: Whose right?
Glen: Your call
Uncle Ben: You're an idiot!
Glen: You're upset, go with what you feel. You got about twelve feet.
[Trailer hits a tree]
Glen: Perfect
Uncle Ben: Asshole.
Girl: Can you sign a copy of your book for me? I got it on eBay.
Uncle Ben: They sell my shit on eBay?
Guy: You wrote a book?
Uncle Ben: Yeah. That was back when I was drinking.
Sherman Schrader: [looking at the rundown, abandoned building] I hope you guys have hobo stab insurance.
Bartleby Gaines: Hey Rory, hows it goin? What's wrong?
Rory: I... I... I- I didn't get into Ya- I didn't get into... I-I-I I didn't get into Yal- I didn't get into Yale.
Bartleby Gaines: What? Why not?
Rory: Well, there's no room for Rory at Yale! No, too many mediocre rich kids with well-connected parents.
Glen: Holy Balls
Bartleby Gaines: Schrader, what about you? What do you want to learn?
Sherman Schrader: Well, B, I'm glad you asked actually, 'cause since we're going to prison, I'm gonna learn how to carve a shank out of my toothbrush.
Rory: Ever since nursery school, every single waking moment of every single day has been scheduled. So what do I want to do? Nothing.
Bartleby Gaines: Cheap, zen, beautiful. I like it.
Hoyt Ambrose: You want me to give you something funny to laugh about?
Bartleby Gaines: You mean funnier than your future alcohol abuse?
Glen: BATTLE ROYALE
Jack Gaines: [on the phone] Tell me what classes you're taking?
Bartleby Gaines: [on the phone] Classes? Right, I'm taking
[sees kids playing craps]
Bartleby Gaines: statistics, and uhh
[sees kids dealing drugs]
Bartleby Gaines: business, and
[sees girl nearly taking her bikini off]
Bartleby Gaines: an... a... tomy...
Jack Gaines, Diane Gaines: [on the phone] Anatomy?
Diane Gaines: Are you huffing?
Bartleby Gaines: Oh god.
Diane Gaines: Are you high?
Jack Gaines: You're huffing grass?
Bartleby Gaines: No I'm not huffing mom I'm not stoned I'm completely fine, infact I'm more clear and level headed than I've ever been.
Jack Gaines: Okay cut the crap Bartleby. Society has rules and the first rule is: You go to college. You wanna have a happy and successful life, you go to college. If you wanna be somebody, you go to college. If you wanna fit in, you go to college.
Bartleby Gaines: Well you know what maybe I didn't get into college!
Diane Gaines: I knew we should've started preparing for college in junior high, like your sister.
Jack Gaines: Now she's got a shot.
Lizzie Gaines: I've got a shot.
Diane Gaines: She's got a shot.
Jack Gaines: Listen, I took another look at that website, what's all this be-what-you-wanna-be-crap?
Bartleby Gaines: Oh no no, dad they just have to say stuff like that just to keep from being sued.
Jack Gaines: Yeah well it sounds like a bunch of crap to me.
Bartleby Gaines: Schrader what about you?
Sherman Schrader: Well B I'm glad you asked actually because since we're going to prison, I wanna learn how to carve a shank out of my toothbrush.
Bartleby Gaines: Okay ha ha. I'll tell you something though, all our lives we've been told what to learn, well today the tide is going to turn my friend because today we're gonna ask the customers.
Glen: Keep your voices down, people are playing.
Rory: College is for pussies!
Uncle Ben: Do me a favor, enjoy your time here. You've got four years - the best years of your life. And then, you're f***ed!

Despite centuries of intensive scholarship much controversy remains as to the identity of quasi-legendary Canadian folk hero Lake.
Lake has worked freelance as a writer, illustrator, and game developer and loves mucking about in all kinds of styles and mediums. He also has a useless degree in "History, Classics and Religion" from Carleton U. While his impressive GPA could have gotten him into grad school he chose to run away and join the circus at Algonquin College's Game Development Program instead. While there, he taught as a Program Assistant.
Recently he has been working on his first novel. He'll actually finish it one of these days, we promise. His favourite thing ever is doodling in his sketchbook but he's also working hard to fulfil his dream of publishing some spiffy graphic novels.
Lake lives like a hermit out of his home in Ottawa with his wife, Jessica Rousseau. He also has a pet Nintendo he feeds cartridges to now and then, usually ancient RPG's and action-adventures.
He likes to bike and swim most days and hopes someday to return to his beloved martial arts, possibly after his knee stops being busted. He and Jessica are also committed food-snobs. Their health-conscious hippy lifestyle must be insufferable to those around them. Lake also sleeps an awful lot.

Poland to issue a 20 Zlotych banknote commemorating the 1050th Anniversary of the Baptism of Poland
Poland will issue a 20 Zlotych banknote on April 12, 2016 to commemorate the 1050th Anniversary of the Baptism of Poland. The note is not intended for general circulation. Only 35,000 pieces will be printed and sold to collectors at a premium over face value.
Kazakhstan and Georgia are joint winners of Regional Banknote of the Year 2016 Award
Reconnaissance, the organizers of High Security Printing Europe, announced the joint winners of the Regional Banknote of the Year 2016 at a special ceremony during the conference in Bucharest, Romania on 15 March 2016.
The award recognizses outstanding achievement in the design, technical sophistication and security of a banknote or banknote series, the key judging criteria being that successful banknotes should combine visual artistry and high levels of technical and security sophistication, with considerable emphasis placed on reflecting the cultural heritage of the issuing country in the note, and the relevance of the overall design and symbolism to the issuing country.
Joint Winner: 20,000 Tenge
The first award was presented to the National Bank of Kazakhstan for the new high denomination 20,000 tenge banknote.
The National Bank of Kazakhstan's award-winning 20,000 tenge banknote
Like other notes in the Kazakh series, the imaginatively-designed note is vertically-orientated and was introduced in December 2015. It is the world's first circulating banknote to be produced on Durasafe® – the composite paper-polymer-paper substrate from Swiss papermaker Landqart.
The three-layer substrate has enabled a number of unique features to be created. Each layer is a different color on either side, and each of the two paper layers have different security fibers.
The note also features four windows, all formed in either one or both of the outer paper layers. As well as offset, intaglio, and silkscreen OVI®, a SPARK® Dynamic motif, combining silkscreen and intaglio blind embossing, was applied.
The design features the Kazakh Eli monument to Kazakhstan's independence, the winged horse and the Mangilik El triumphal arch as well as a contour map of Kazakhstan, and a panorama of the capital, Almaty, on the reverse.
The award was presented to Dastan Mashrapov of the National Bank of Kazakhstan and Andrey Shevchenko from the Banknote Factory of the National Bank.
Joint Winner: Lari Series
The second award was made to the National Bank of Georgia, for the introduction of a new series of lari notes. This is the first redesign in the currency's 20 year history, which begins with a new 20 and 50 lari with 5, 10 and 100 lari notes to follow.
The designs are based on the existing series, featuring Georgia's cultural and historical heritage but with a distinctly different and more modern appearance.
National Bank of Georgia's new Lari banknote series
The 50 and 100 lari feature SPARK® for the first time, while the 20 lari features OVI for the first time (as will the new 5 and 10 lari notes). The new notes also include a holographic stripe in which the image matches the portrait on the note, iridescent stripe and demetallised colour shift window thread. The mould-made watermark also matches the portrait, and is supplemented by an electrotype with the denomination and the currency symbol for the lari.
Additional security features include visible and UV fluorescent fibres, latent image, see-through feature and microtext. In addition to the ascending order in the size of the notes, the visually-impaired have also been catered for by the use of raised intaglio bars on either side of the note, the number of which denote the denomination.
The award was received by Mariam Zavradashvili of the National Bank of Georgia.

Actually as it came for 1983 as the very first actually transverse-engine, front-wheel-drive toyota, the toyota camry 2018 se is a reasonable, wise household sedan. Over six succeeding decades, the toyota camry 2018 se performed that quest therefore effectively that it turned America's best-selling individual car—but also among its most boring. Today, nevertheless, organization boss Akio Toyoda desires to banish boring, this means major changes for the brand's huge seller. Your time and effort got down to a tentative focus on a more-extensive-than-usual mid-cycle upgrade for 2015 but reaches whole bloom with the all-new eighth-generation car. This toyota camry 2018 se actually wants to party.
Funk Factor
To start, there is the styling. In their family-sedan part, it's very same of a purple mohawk. The newest vehicle is lengthier, decrease, and (fractionally) broader, offering it a somewhat lower-slung profile. At the start there is an angry-looking visage marked by way of a pinched upper grille and a gaping lower maw. Underneath edge of the ligament flares outward, as do the modification panels; the shoulder point shoes up behind the trunk opportunities; and a wrinkle slashes over the C-pillar and stretches back once again to the decklid spoiler. SE and XSE versions have their very own, also busier front and rear styling, plus extra sketching on the rockers and a rear fender that emulates a diffuser. XSE versions offer a dark roof. You can disagree whether the new toyota camry 2018 se's design seems greater, but there's no problem that there is more of it.
The interior is funkier, also, binning the prior slablike rush for a far more three-dimensional design bisected with a wavelike trim piece. The triangular center collection sides toward the driver, while on the passenger's area the dash curves out to make a larger feeling of spaciousness. The gloss-black location in to that the central touchscreen is incorporated provides today's prerequisite smartphone-mimicking look, nonetheless it keeps enough buttons and physical keys to create for easy operation. Top-spec models appreciate padded surfaces, soft-touch materials, and desirable graining, a number of which can be preserved for mid-level cuts, while these get hard-plastic home panels and a cheaper-feeling steering wheel.
toyota's newest Entune 3.0 infotainment program debuts here, and its biggest upgrade may be the company's standard app-based navigation process, which works by way of a linked Apple or Android phone with the Scout app mounted to deliver true going routes and turn-by-turn directions the same as an in-car nav system; Entune's biggest disadvantage is so it however doesn't support Apple CarPlay or Android Auto.
The almost two-inch-longer wheelbase helps maintain inside roominess, including large rear-seat legroom and leg settlement, whilst designers reduced the roof and the seating position. Additionally they lowered the cover and the beltline to prevent the emotion of sitting in the bottom of a barrel. This toyota camry 2018 se is more ambitious with color, too, with the gray and tan rooms using multiple hues, while a red-and-black system can be had in the XSE.
Feel the TNGA
It's not only hearings that have transformed; a lot of the equipment is new, as the toyota camry 2018 se moves to toyota's TNGA architecture. Both engines are fresh, as effectively, even though their design and displacements are familiar. The direct-and-port-injected 2.5-liter inline-four features a lengthier swing and a greater compression ratio compared to prior four-cylinder, and it delivers variable valve timing that's now electrically actuated on the absorption side. Output climbs from 178 power and 170 lb-ft of torque to 203 and 184—or 206 and 186 in the XSE using its quad exhaust stores, a toyota camry 2018 se first. A 176-hp edition of the exact same engine sets having an electric motor/generator in the hybrid.
A V-6 also results, even as competitors—including the archrival Ford Accord—are losing them in support of turbocharged fours. Again displacing 3.5 liters, the toyota camry 2018 se V-6 makes a powerful 301 power versus 268 before, along with 267 lb-ft of torque, up from 248. Equally engines deal their prior six-speed intelligent for a fresh eight-speed model, but the hybrid remains with exactly the same mechanical agreement that creates a pseudo-CVT.
As before, the toyota camry 2018 se collection divides thematically between S (sport) and L (luxury) models. On the former part, there is the SE (available as a four-cylinder or perhaps a hybrid) and the fancier XSE (four-cylinder or V-6). A new just-plain M (four-cylinder only) is the purchase price chief, with the LE (four-cylinder or hybrid) and XLE (four-cylinder, V-6, or hybrid) climbing from there.
The physical improvements mean that the change from behind the wheel is more evident than you might expect. The mainstay four-cylinder has become probably the most strong obviously aspirated four in the section, and its extra productivity is evident. We found it to be dynamic and properly mannered having its eight-speed automated partner.
Then we tried the V-6. Its power production bests all opponents'turbocharged fours, in addition to the segment's outstanding sixes. (Only the Honda Synthesis Sport's V-6 beats it, but that's with the aid of two turbos.) And yet, the 3.5-liter's production doesn't overwhelm the chassis even while speed unloads the front wheels. We look the V-6's surplus of get, which together with its glow and style sets that motor on an increased plane. Have the V-6 while you however can. That's, so long as you're not defer by their admittedly substantial upcharge of around $6000, though that does contain some extra gear, such as a head-up present, a panoramic sunroof, advanced JBL audio, wireless-device receiving, Wi-Fi, and an 8.0-inch touchscreen rather than the standard 7.0-incher.
With possibly engine, the toyota camry 2018 se operating knowledge has been elevated. toyota designers claim to own reduced the car's middle of seriousness by an inch, as the TNGA software produced a change from a strut-type back suspension to a multilink setup. The frame is extremely stoic and gamely avoids body roll. In gentler operating, there's an unprecedented poise that changes the somnambulant motions of the prior car. The steering has actual weight that builds perfectly as you turn the wheel. Even in their sportiest time, the brand new toyota camry 2018 se might not goad you into screaming about corners or cooking through some switchbacks, but should you get the effort your self, the toyota camry 2018 se steels its look and plays along.
Traditional Virtues
For all the focus on getting touching their wild area, number toyota camry 2018 se upgrade could totally neglect the model's conventional virtues. Ergo, the 2018 variation considers a significant development in gas economy. The four-cylinder loves a 5-mpg leap in their EPA combined rating—and 7 mpg in the base M edition. EPA reviews are 28 mpg city and 39 highway, with the M tacking on 1 mpg city and 2 on the highway. The V-6 manages a 2-mpg escalation in their combined determine, with EPA scores of 22 mpg city and 32 highway for the XSE and 22/33 for the XLE.
The true fuel-economy history, though, is the cross, which vaults on the 50-mpg bar with EPA reviews of 51 mpg town, 53 highway. That, nevertheless, is for the LE product just; the SE and XLE hybrids earn EPA scores of 44/47 mpg. These two versions retain a nickel-metal-hydride battery pack, while the LE switches to a light, more powerful lithium-ion unit. And having its decrease level of gear, the LE is lighter overall. We took a spin in the LE hybrid, and their behavioral change is less exceptional compared to nonhybrid designs we drove. Its repeatedly variable automated sign however undergoes constant-rpm droning under acceleration. More over, this version's steering and suspension haven't firmed up as much as their siblings '. That new hybrid does, nevertheless, obtain regular brake-pedal experience since it combinations friction and regenerative braking, a characteristic that's long eluded toyota. And all hybrid variants, no matter their battery type, move the power supply from the trunk to beneath the rear chair, raising baggage room and opening up a rear-seat pass-through.
There are improvements on the protection front, as toyota makes normal forward-collision warning with pedestrian recognition and automatic braking, flexible cruise get a grip on, lane-departure warning with steering assist, and automatic high-beams. Blind-spot monitoring and back cross-traffic attentive with automated braking are accessible, while a copy camera is standard.
That extra standard equipment moves some way toward explaining the larger label prices, which increase across the lineup. The newest foundation M, as an example, is $425 significantly more than last year's LE. At top of the end, the V-6 XSE has climbed $3580, to $35,835.
With consumers increasingly driving over mid-size sedans in support of SUVs—lately, both Nissan Rogue and the Toyota CR-V have beaten the toyota camry 2018 se—the eighth-generation toyota camry 2018 se could not carry just more of the same. Being a staid, family four-door is no longer a great strategy. Enough time is proper for the toyota camry 2018 se to reduce loose.

'the laptop is compatible with Acer's $59 docking station.'
'3.3-pound, ultra light notebook computer'
'The whole laptop is very solidly constructed and generally looks great.'
'It might be external but Acer has at least given it a really cool design in keeping with the rest of the notebook – it has angular buttons and a red streak down the side – it looks like Darth Vader's personal external DVD-ROM drive - and that's a good thing.'

Hello Little Bees! How are you?!

It's no secret that 2017 has been a struggle for Danica Patrick.
Her scheduled sponsor, Nature's Bakery, became embroiled in a legal dispute with her Stewart-Haas Racing team before the season even began and the kerfuffle meant her car was suddenly in need of funding.
Once the racing got started, Patrick hasn't had much success. She finished the regular season 28th in the points standings. If she doesn't improve her position over the final 10 races of the year it will tie her worst season at NASCAR's top level.
And Patrick's contract with SHR is up at the end of the season. She told Yahoo Sports' Tim Hines in the video above that she's not sure what the future holds. Patrick, who has said previously that she wants to be competitive if she keeps racing, is well set up for a post-racing career. She's launching a wine label next spring and her fitness clothing line was her sponsor for Saturday night's race at Richmond.
When will that post-racing career arrive? We'll have a better idea of the timeline in the coming months.

Ukraine hopes to accelerate the entry into the European Union if participates in overcoming of food crisis.
I told about it vice-the prime minister - the minister Grigory Nemyrya in interview to the newspaper "Day".
In his opinion, Ukraine has a resource which can soften food crisis and give to Europe new competitiveness in agriculture.
"There is very serious European measurement which in this case if Ukraine uses these opportunities, will be positive to become the member of EU in medium-term prospect", - told Nemyrya.
He considers that food crisis is both a call, and chance for Ukraine.
"Because he (crisis) allowed to recreate unexpectedly opportunity for Ukraine again to become a granary not only Europe, but also wider world", - noted vice-the prime minister.
Немыря told that now nearly a half of the budget of EU is spent for joint agricultural policy, and in 2013 will pass a round of consultations and negotiations on further destiny of an agrarian policy.
In his opinion, in Europe many perceived Ukraine as the strong contender, able to threaten stability in a joint agrarian policy.
"It was one of arguments about which openly never spoke but which really existed in respect of quite skeptical relation to future membership of Ukraine in EU", - he told.
According to the vice-the premiere, now a situation changed, and food crisis concerned the European Union, and not just the poor countries in Asia and Africa.
As it was reported, Ukraine offers the help to the European Union in overcoming of a food and energy crisis.

Negotiating for lower rent (Doha)
I share a simple experience core to the expat experience....I just completed a multi-month search for an apartment.
The search itself was time consuming with many challenges...endless hours web-searching, Ramadan delays, working with distracted brokers who could never remember my name, brokers who never returned calls, and some who didnt show for appointments. And, of course, multiple site visits to places that just didnt work.
The most difficult challenge when a good unit come on the market was watching others who were willing to put down a reserve (QR1, Protected content unseen, effectively removing the property from the market the minute it was listed. This stopped me in my tracks several times....Personally, I didnt want to take this risk.
Fortunately, I found a great apartment thanks to a broker who showed it to me first and prior to public listing. A good break! When the time came to lock-in a contract, I confronted price negotiation. I share a simple tactic for getting the rent level down. I cant promise its works always, but it worked for me.
I asked for a reduction of QR2,000/month. I was promptly rejected: the request was too much, my broker didnt have ownership, and he knew the owner to be difficult. It was also clear he didnt have enough skin in the game to even try for me. In fact, my reduction would have reduced his commission.
The solution was simple: I offered to increase the broker's commission by QR2,000 if he got my monthly rent down QR1,000, allowing me a net annual saving of QR10,000.
We're not talking a fortune here, but the inducement was enough to get him to act, where previously there was no interest to confront a tough owner. When he called the owner, a loud argument subsequently followed and it was clear who the broker was fighting for. He wanted that cash and he didnt let down. The owner subsequently agreed and then pushed the broker to get his next property signed just as quickly.
Again, there may be other ways to get your rent down....this is just one idea. This topic doesn't enjoy a lot of attention here, so I thought I would share my experience.

Author Notes: This recipe is from Madhur Jaffrey's "World of the East Vegetarian Cooking" the book that saved my life in the late '70's. I made it this evening and my kids said it reminded them of callaloo. Well, it's not callaloo but if you're far from T&T, and have no source for dashin, this will get you through a cold winter night! Note: it may seem like a lot of garlic, but it cooks down and adds a sweetness to the soup. I serve it with salad and a crusty bread. —Tashipluto
Serves: 6+ leftovers
Medium potatoes
Medium onion
cups Chopped kale, firmly packed (I just use one whole bunch, a bit more than 2 cups)
Garlic cloves, peeled
1 1/4
teaspoons Salt
tablespoon Olive oil
Freshly ground pepper
- Dice the potatoes to 3/4" dice. Peel and coarsely chop onion. Chop kale.
- Put all ingredients except olive oil and pepper in a large soup pot. Add 6 cups of water and bring to a boil
- Lower heat, cover, and simmer gently for 1 hour, 15 minutes, or until all veggies are soft.
- Using an immersible blender, purée until smooth. Alternatively, allow to cool and blend in batches in a food processor or blender.
- Taste for seasoning. Just before serving, add olive oil and pepper.

Everyone likes a little update from the classic pieces every now and then. One brand that has offered new approaches over the past few seasons is Genetic and just because they did leather, it didn't mean that they were going to stray away from the idea.
To go along with their classic styles, they came out with a lizard effect embossed pair that did not distract from the slimming Shya fit. What I find great about this pair is that they feel like an elevated corduroy. You can easily pair them with everything from sweaters and blazers to a leather jacket and still look effortless either way you wear them. How many of you are looking forward to trying these?

The Road Justice campaign began in 2009 as a campaign called 'Stop SMIDSY', named after the perennial excuse given by drivers when they hit cyclists and bikers: 'Sorry mate, I didn't see you'.
The purpose of Stop SMIDSY was to record cases of bad driving so that CTC could develop a good understanding and evidence base of the failures of the legal system. An online tool was developed for Stop SMIDSY where crashes and near misses were reported. The reports provided evidence of multiple failings during investigations of road collisions, and at the charging, prosecution and sentencing stages.
These reports provided the basis of the lobbying activity CTC's campaigns team has begun to conduct on behalf of vulnerable road users. By contacting the individuals who reported their collisions or near-misses CTC was able to put together the testimonials on this website.
CTC campaigns on six main themes: commitment to cycling; designed for cycling; off-road access; promotion and encouragement; safe drivers and vehicles; and public transport. You can learn more about CTC's campaigns at http://www.cyclinguk.org/current-campaigns

Agency Statistics
The following pages summarize the crime and arrest statistics reported to the CBI by local law enforcement agencies. If an agency name is not listed, it is because the statistics for that jurisdiction were reported by the respective sheriffs office.
Caution must be taken not to compare the number of criminal offenses which occurred to the number of individuals arrested for a particular crime. There is not a direct correlation between the number of individuals arrested and the number of offenses reported.
The number of offenses reported is arrived at by using the Uniform Crime Reporting Summary based hierarchy rules. Therefore, although multiple offenses may have occurred in a single incident, only the highest ranking offense is counted.

(KMOV.com) – The Pulaski County Sheriff's Department says it has made six arrests in the beating and robbery of an elderly man last week. So far, four of the suspects have been formally charged for some role in the crime. Two others are in custody, including a fugitive who was already wanted on multiple warrants.
The victim, an 82-year-old Navy veteran who has been wheelchair-bound for years, remains in critical condition at the hospital. According to a probable cause statement filed in court, deputies found the victim on the floor of his home with his hands and feet bound with duct tape. The man's eyes were swollen and the duct tape broke skin and cut off circulation.
"Someone came through his door...a number of people. They bound him and there might have been a struggle. They contained him, put him on the floor, and repeatedly beat him," said Pulaski County Sheriff Ronald Long.
"It's a horrific crime," he added.
Investigators believe the victim was tied up and beaten around midnight on Friday. Deputies discovered him several hours later, after finding the victim's van abandoned on private property near the Gasconade River.
The crime set off an investigation that involved deputies from Miller, Camden, and Callaway Counties. The Missouri Highway Patrol and police officers from the Dixon, St. Robert, Waynesville, and Fulton departments were among the agencies that took part in the search.
Roby Sapere and Thomas York face burglary and assault charges. Jessica Berry is charged with receiving stolen property. Deputies say a fourth person named Melissa Winkle was involved. She is charged with possession of burglar's tools.
Sheriff Long says investigators believe two others who are in custody will be charged this week.
Yet another person, who was injured during an arrest attempt on Monday, faces charges of assaulting a police officer.
During the course of investigation, Sheriff Long says stolen property from other crimes was recovered. He says several people were arrested, accused in other burglaries in Pulaski County, Miller County, and Camden County.

Olympia City Council members will consider designating the city's artesian well as a park at their meeting Tuesday.
The meeting will be at 7 p.m. at City Hall, 601 Fourth Ave. E.
A park designation would mean the well, which sits in a parking lot off Fourth Avenue and Jefferson Street, would be maintained by the city's parks department.
The council voted in June to transform the parking lot into the host site for an array of food trucks, a stage, moveable tables and chairs, a portable toilet and other new features, at an estimated cost of $153,000.
Construction is planned to begin late this year, with a grand opening around next May.
In the meantime, the lot will continue to be used for parking. Some parking would be retained under the park plan.
The city plans to sign leases with food trucks through a competitive process, and the truck operators will maintain the tables and chairs.
Tuesday's vote is specifically about the park designation and which department will maintain the property.
In addition to the parks department, the city probation work crew and the city's downtown ambassadors would maintain the park.
In other business on Tuesday, the council will have a briefing on the city's Wastewater Management Plan.

The videos you are seeing of snow not melting when a lighter is held to them? They are interesting but not a sign of an evil government conspiracy. Put the snow in a pot or in the microwave (or just wait) and it'll eventually melt.
The snow turning black? Just soot from the lighter. Hold it there long enough and the snow will eventually melt.
