Here are some ways you can use your move to your advantage.
Work out the replacement value of items in poor condition.
– An old wardrobe will cost a between $120 – $170 to move interstate to or from Melbourne. A new modern wardrobe will only cost $199 from IKEA.
– Melbourne interstate movers will charge between $230 – $280 to relocate that shabby lounge suite interstate. You can buy a really nice lounge suite on ebay for $400 – $500. Keep in mind you can sell your old lounge suite for approximately $200 also. Making a better lounge suite cost almost nothing.
It's nothing new to hold a garage sale, but if you do it right you can really capitalise on it, and replace old furniture with new furniture without spending a cent.
If you move involves Melbourne, fill out an interstate removalists online quote and find out how much how much your move will cost and then declutter from there, once you arrive in your destination in Victoria or elsewhere, you can go shopping for your new furniture that will cost you almost nothing!
Stay tuned next week for more money saving tips.

Since 1975, Ghurka bags and leather goods have embodied the American spirit of strength, confidence, independence and boundless exploration.
There are people who keep to-do lists and people who just do. The very first Ghurka bag was created by hand more than 40 years ago, making use of military roots and a globetrotting pedigree that have inspired countless adventurers since. Today, Ghurka is part of interesting lives everywhere, heading out on urban safaris, down coastal highways and on getaways both exotic and familiar. Every drumbeat is different, so the places you'll go with your Ghurka are defined not by guidebooks but by the experiences that awaken your spirit.
Ghurka products are sold globally at retailers including Barneys, Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, Fortnum & Mason, Lane Crawford, La Rinascente and fine specialty retailers.
Let us be a part of your journey.

Claim: Photograph shows President Obama not saluting the flag during the playing of the national anthem at a 2009 Veterans Day ceremony.
Examples: [Collected via e-mail, November 2009]
Check out this latest picture from Veterans Day 11/11/09 at the Ceremony in Arlington National Cemetery. I don't know whether the National Anthem is being played, or the Flag is going by, or WHAT, but EVERYBODY in the picture is either saluting or has his hand over the HEART.
All except ONE.
Guess who.
I do not make this stuff up!
OUTRAGE!!!! The POTUS at Ft. Hood, Nov. 11, 2009
Our president, "honoring" the 14 dead (an unborn child…not a fetus…
was the 14th!) at the hands of a Muslim home grown terrorist!!! Any
questions "still" about the allegiance of the Usurper and who he will
stand with "should the political winds of change shift in an ugly direction?"
To hell with a rope…bring me a Scimitar…the Muslim sword of choice for beheadings!!!
Origins: The above-displayed photograph does not hail from a November 2009 observance of Veterans Day or a Fort Hood memorial service; it was taken in
But Mr. Obama added a twist: he sent a second wreath to a memorial honoring blacks who fought in the Civil War. "They felt some tug; they answered a call; they said, 'I'll go,'"
President Obama observed Memorial Day just as his predecessors had, by placing a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknowns.
But Mr. Obama added a twist: he sent a second wreath to a memorial honoring blacks who fought in the Civil War.
"They felt some tug; they answered a call; they said, 'I'll go,'"
As can be seen in the following video clip of the event, this picture was snapped just as President Obama took the stage in the Memorial Amphitheater during the playing of "Hail to the Chief." Hence, the photo is not, as suggested above, a picture of the president inappropriately standing with his hands folded while others pay their respects to America's war dead with traditional gestures; it is a picture of others showing appropriate deference during the playing of music that represents their president and commander-in-chief. President Obama is correctly standing with his hands lowered, because it would be inappropriate for him to be engaged in a gesture of saluting himself.
(Department of Defense instructions state that "During all renditions of 'Hail to the Chief' by military musical organizations, military personnel in uniform, other than band personnel, shall accord it the same honor as they would the rendition of 'The Star-Spangled Banner.'" Similar protocol is optional for non-uniformed civilians.)
President Obama can also be viewed in C-SPAN video of the event standing with his hand over his heart at appropriate portions of the ceremony, while a news photograph similarly captured the president paying his respects in that manner:
U.S. President Barack Obama and Adm. Michael Mullen, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, stand at attention during a Memorial Day celebration at Arlington National Cemetery May 25, 2009 in Arlington, Virginia. The United States is remembering the members of its armed services and those who have died serving the country.

Hi, here is Fabi, today I'd like to share with you all a special layout I've made last weekend. The cute little girl in the photo is my niece, Sara. She's my middle brother daughter and we are very happy to have her in our lifes. She almost didn't survived when she was born and stayed in the ITU for quite a while. Now she's 3 yo and a very joyful girl, full of life :)
For this layout I worked a lot on the background. To start you choose a neutral color cardstock and apply mist/spray ink with a mask that matches your layout (here I have used a flourish). To have a cool background, it's fun to mix different colors. For example, try different tones of pink/rose and add some peach color. In some spots I have added more ink and let it run through the page.
To complete my layout, I've made flags - aren't they trendy now? - and used some bligs to add more spark to my page.
If you don't know yet our papers collections, give it a try. You will love them! This layout was made exclusively with them. The collections used are the Fruit Basket and also Summer Sorbet. I loved that the papers have nice patterns that can be used not only for cards, but that are also great for layouts, as you can see!
And the big star of my project (besides my niece lol) is the lovely stamp below. You can find it here. I thought the cupid stamped image would fit perfectly with my layout theme.
Hope you all have enjoyed how we can incorporate stamped images to our layouts.A great weekend for you all ;)

Leonardo's paintings
Leonardo da Vinci painted using typical themes and ideas of the 15th and 16th century. Most of his paintings were very religiously based and used many religious icons, but he also painted many portraits. He was one of the very few artists in his time to accomplish a 3D looking painting. He used the concept of a vanishing point which helped him to achieve perspective and depth in his paintings. In his famous painting, 'The Last Supper' he displays this technique very well and makes the viewer's feel as if they are in the room as it is very realistic. This is because of da Vinci's magnificent use of perspective.
What is he famous for?
Leonardo da Vinci was an Italian polymath, sculptor, painter, architect, musician, mathematician, anatomist, inventor, engineer, geologist, cartographer, writer and botanist. Da Vinci was mostly known for his amazing work in art. He was one of the best and most influential painters during the Renaissance period. Some of his most famous paintings include: the Mona Lisa, The Last Supper, Lady with an Ermine, Virgin of the Rocks, The Baptism of Christ and St. John the Baptist. Leonardo was also quite famous for his inventions, some of them are: parachute, machine gun, diving suit, ariel screw/ ariel screw and self-propelled cart.
His early early years
How did Leonardo da Vinci's work affect society at the time?
Leonardo's work in both art and his inventions were very new ideas during his time, the 15th to 16th century. Some of his work was questioned and there were many people who very much disliked Leonardo and his work. Although there were some people who felt this way there were also a lot of people who were inspired to strive and achieve their goals in the area of art and inventing. He brought new technology into the world and advanced the knowledge of his time. He also used new techniques in his paintings that only a few painters were able to master properly.
Leonardo's inventions
Most people agree that Leonardo da Vinci was ahead of his time. He came up with astonishing new ideas that had never been heard of before and were very advanced. He invented a wide variety of things that ranged from weapons, water equipment, work tools and even flying machines. Leonardo was never afraid to think outside of the box and dream big. At the time he was praised for not only his great ideas but also his detailed sketches and plans.

The notebooks of Leonardo da Vinci 1485 - 1519
Primary source
Leonardo da Vinci
What legacy has Leonardo da Vinci left?
Although technology in inventing and techniques in painting have become much more advanced since Leonardo da Vinci's time he still is known for his amazing work. He played a massive part in history's development of knowledge in art and inventing. Without da Vinci's discoveries we may not have had the knowledge that we now do. When people learn about they da Vinci, not only do they learn about his achievements but also the fact that he came from a very humble background but work his way up to become one of the most famous people in the history of inventions and art. From this, people learn that you can always achieve your goals no matter where you came from or what you have. As long as you are determined you will get there in the end.
Helicopter (ariel screw)
Although a helicopter was not built until the 1940's, Leonardo's sketches showed a very similar machine to what had just been built. His sketches showed precise measurements and calculations that determined the size of the helicopter and how it would be flown. Da Vinci's sketches of his version of a helicopter displayed a very deep understanding of modern technologies in his time. His sketches showed that it would be made of red linen and wire. Unfortunately modern day scientists determined that da Vinci's helicopter would be unable to take flight due to weight restrictions.
The picture below is Leonardo da Vinci's helicopter sketches:
Leonardo came from a very humble background; he was the son of peasant woman who was quite young. He was born on April 15, 1452, in Vinci, Italy. He lived with and was raised by his father Ser Piero and his multiple stepmothers. His first real involvement in art was when he began apprenticing with the artist Verrocchio at the age of 14. He began to learn a wide variety of skills including: carpentry, leather arts, metalworking, drawing and sculpting. He qualified as a master artist in the Guild of Saint Luke at the age of 20 and soon started work in his own workshop.
By Lillian Haney
These notebooks give us an understanding of some of Leonardo da Vinci's thoughts during his life time. They are useful if you want to find out what Leonardo was thinking at different stages during his life but they are also useful if you wanted to find out what es of things that people believed in during the 15th and 16th centuries. If you were interested in learning about da Vinci himself then his notebooks would be very reliable. However if you wanted to learn about the happenings of the time then they would not be completely reliable as they only include da Vinci's perspective, so they are very bias.

About Us
The term "R2" comes from the names of two brothers, Rob and Ryan. We live 350 miles apart, Ryan in the DC area, Rob in the Buffalo area, and each have families with small kids. We both have day jobs, so R2 is a small business. And who knows, maybe one day it will be a big business!
Like any family business, we have our different roles. Ryan runs the website, picks up the phone (when he can), and answers emails. Rob does the manufacturing and shipping. We do this as best we can, so please be patient if it takes a day or so to return a phone call or ship an order!
The Edge Tamer was Rob's idea, and he spent a year testing them and making sure they were as bullet-proof as we could make them, before Ryan worked on the patent. They're made in our shop, with the help of local trades for laser cutting and powder coating. We use them ourselves, and stand behind both their quality and their ability to make your life easier.
So welcome to R2 Manufacturing, and please feel free to Contact Us if you have any questions!

Title of Bulletin Board: Kick Off to a Great Year
Category: Beginning of School
Suggested Grade Level: K-2
Materials: Colored Construction Paper, Glue, Scissors, Butcher Paper, Laminating Film, sports border
The bulletin board was constructed by cutting each individual piece of the football player and cheerleader. The pieces were then glued together. The players represent Holbrook High School athletes, even though we are at the elementary school. The letters were then drawn and cut out rather then using die cuts. I then post the roster of my students and label it as Mr. Billie's varsity team. In my classroom I like to create a team mentality. I like the students to work together as a team to achieve a common goal. Thus, through the bulletin board, the students will get the concept of being on the same team rather then just being in a class together. This is a huge part of my classroom management system and it seems to have a positive impact on the students.
