Our Best De-Cluttering Tips
Simple tips for de-cluttering your home, one area at a time
You don't have to be a professional stylist to keep your home curated and company-ready at all times. Just follow English designer William Morris's advice from 1880 (it's just as valid today): "Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful." Of course Morris lived in a time before shopping malls and online retailers, so it may have been easier back then to avoid recreational shopping and resulting clutter. If you have a clutter problem, keep reading. And we'll show you how to solve it.
Design: Eric Lysdahl
Love it, use it, or lose it.
You'll be amazed at how much space can be found in closets, cabinets, and drawers if you simply get rid of stuff you don't need. Whether evaluating a lamp, a loveseat, or lingerie, keep William Morris's advice in mind. Ask yourself: "Do I love it?" "Do I use it?" "Can I live without it?" Answer "yes" to the first two questions and you should find a place to store that item. Answer "yes" to the third question, and you should get rid of it before you change your mind.
Target your efforts.
Don't fall into the trap of wandering from room to room, grabbing a stray shoe here, a dirty plate there, and not making progress you can actually see. Instead, tackle one room at a time. Still too daunting? Tackle one zone, closet, cabinet, shelf, or drawer. You'll get dramatic results that will inspire you to keep going.
See, sort, and eliminate.
So you've weeded out items you no longer want. You have five options for getting rid of them. 1. Give stuff to your kids. 2. Donate gently used items to a non-profit. (Load your car now so there's no turning back.) 3. Sell items in a consignment store, on eBay, or through a tag sale. (Such methods are often time-consuming, though, and may result in stuff re-entering your house.) 4. Take select items to a recycling center that accepts old computers, TVs, and the like. 5. Toss worn or broken items in the trash.
Living-Room Logistics
Your living room should be a sanctuary — both for you and your guests. Keeping it clutter-free is a key part of maintaining this room's elegantly relaxed attitude. So make it a habit to spend a little time each day stacking magazines, putting papers in the recycling bin, rearranging throw pillows, and putting wayward items back where they belong.
Design: Debbie Cummins
Style a coffee table.
Turn function into form. Use a shallow tray to hold a pile of magazines and vase of beautiful blooms. Add height to a vase or piece of decorative art by perching it on a stack of books. Hide remotes or crafting supplies in decorative containers.
Design: Tobi Fairley
Arrange a bookcase.
Treat your bookcase like an art gallery by thinking of books as decorative objects with color, texture, and form. Arrange them by size, subject matter, or even the colors of their covers -- some side by side, others in a stack. Integrate a variety of objects — sea forms, sculpture, vases, framed art—to add interesting textures and finishes. Be careful though; overstuffed shelves can look untidy. Edit objects carefully.
Design: Michael Del Piero
Make over a mantel.
Make the fireplace mantel a worthy focal point for the room. Symmetrical design conveys a sense of calm; just arrange objects so one side of the display mirrors the other. Or choose an asymmetrical design and harmonize objects of different shapes and sizes. Balance a tall, large object with several smaller ones. Nestle some pieces together to boost visual weight; overlap others to create intriguing layers. In either approach, using a clearly defined color palette unifies unrelated objects.
Editor's Tip: Keep in mind; you don't have to put everything out at once. Leave some breathing room between objects to showcase their silhouettes and rest the eye.
Design: Barry Dixon
End Kitchen Chaos
Hands down; your kitchen is the busiest room in the house. And with today's open floor plans, the work zone is likely visible from adjoining living areas. In a hurry? Clear off the front of the refrigerator for an immediate infusion of peacefulness. Have more time to invest? Make sure the countertops clutter-free (more about that later).
Design: Christopher Peacock
Help cabinets work harder.
The more stuff you can store in your cabinets (while still being able to find what you need), the cleaner you can keep your countertops. So make it a habit to toss stale food, expired spices, and nearly empty cartons to gain instant shelf space. Replace standard shelves with pull-out versions that let you see everything at a glance. Add stacking shelves to store dishes or spice jars in layers instead of one big pile.
Editor's tip: For efficiency's sake, store cookware and utensils close to where they'll be used.
Hide small appliances.
Appliance garages (countertop-level cabinets) store toasters, blenders, and coffee makers out of sight but easily accessible. For a more upscale approach, put such storage behind motorized doors that raise and lower at the flip of a switch (shown).
Editor's tip: Apply decluttering principles to your cookware. Will you ever use that bread maker again? Do you really need two slow cookers? Give still-working stuff to family, friends, or charity; toss the rest.
Design: Mick De Giulio
Set up a charging station.
Keep electronics off the counter by setting up charging-station drawers with outlets in the back. Laptops, phones, and tablets – and accompanying cords – stay out of sight and out of harm's way until charging is completed.
Design: Matthew Quinn
Recruit the dining room.
Gain additional kitchen storage space by sequestering dishes, glasses, serving pieces, and linens in the dining room, where furniture-style cabinetry and storage armoires look right at home. That way, you can reserve valuable kitchen cabinets and drawers for food, ingredients, and cookware you don't use outside that particular room.
Organize Your Pantry
Whether your pantry is the size of a small bedroom, or a single ceiling-high cabinet, you need to be ruthless about keeping it organized. Plan a big cleaning session where you pull everything off the shelf, toss the outdated products, and put everything back with the newest food purchases in the back and the oldest ones in front. Store seasonal items and seldom-used appliances on high shelves. Use the floor or lowest shelf for cleaning supplies or baskets for root vegetables.
Editor's Tip: Storing dry ingredients in clear glass containers (with tight lids) makes it easier to keep track of what you have -- and avoid buying food you don't need.
Divide and conquer drawers.
Blessed with room for a vanity or dressing table? Organize the drawers and you'll be able to store more – and that keeps bottles, tubes, jars, combs, jewelry, and other personal items off of the countertop. Clear acrylic drawer dividers make sense here, because they're so easy to clean.
Design: Kellie Cashon
Family-Room Finesse
Just like the living room, this space needs to stay neat and clean in order to offer the oasis — or gathering spot — your household needs. Keep a big basket handy for collecting items that have landed in the family room by mistake. Family members can take turns lugging the basket from room to room, putting orphaned items in their rightful spots.
Put walls to work.
Expand a family room's organizational capabilities by taking bookcases up to the ceiling. Then, like a smart shopkeeper, put the most often-used books and movies within arm's reach, and the less-often used offerings up high. Children's books and games belong on lower shelves where they can help themselves.
Editor's Tip: Store kids' crafts supplies and toys in small pull-out bins they can easily transport to play areas – and back again.
Keep clutter hidden.
Cabinets and armoires offer stylishly accessible places to store board games, video games, jigsaw puzzles, and other leisure-time activities for instant chaos relief. Corral toy cars, crayons, markers, Legos, and other kid favorites in decorative tins that match your decor.
Editor's Tip: No room for cabinets? Keep toys and crafting supplies in stackable baskets that can be easily moved when visitors are expected.
Manage media equipment.
Integrate the television and DVD/Blu-ray player into an armoire or custom-built furniture unit for a seamless look. Use open shelves to display family photos or decorative art. Store related paraphernalia — remotes, movies, Milk Duds — in the unit's drawers or cabinets.
Editor's Tip: Keep cords out of sight. Plug multiple cords into a power strip (hidden within the cabinetry) so its cord is the only one that has plug into the wall. No cabinetry to hide the tangle? Bundle cords with hook-and-loop tape (or twist ties in a pinch) and tuck the bundles into baskets.
Master the Bedroom
Your goal? To create a tranquil private retreat that helps you begin and end each day in a positive state of mind. Start with the biggest piece of real estate in the room: the bed. Make it. (We apologize for sounding like your mother.) Then deal with the floor. Dirty clothes go in the hamper. Clean ones go on hangers or in the drawers. Have a few more minutes? Do a quick sweep of dresser tops and put jewelry and other items back where they belong.
Think outside the box springs.
Short on closet and/or dresser space? Stash extra bedding and out-of-season clothing beneath the bed, using attractive canvas clothing boxes from local or online retailers to keep items dust-free. And enjoy the fact that the bed skirt keeps your secret storage space hidden from view.
Conquer bedroom closets.
Remember one of the first things we advised – to use it or lose it? That strategy should you're your wardrobe and clothes closet. If you haven't worn a garment in a year or two (and it's still in good condition), take it to a consignment store or donate it to charity. Every piece you get rid of frees space in your closet for clothing that matters. And the better organized your closet is, the easier it will be for you to get ready in the morning.
Editor's Tip: Arrange hanging clothes by type, then by color, to help your closet look and act organized. It also helps (visually, anyway) to use matching hangers.
Caution: You may covet these beautifully organized closets and dressing rooms.
Clean out the medicine cabinet(s).
Whether you use this storage staple for medicine, first-aid supplies, or cosmetics, follow one simple rule: Get rid of things when their time is up. That might mean their expiration date has come and gone (think medicine and cosmetics) or you've moved on (you'll never wear that lipstick color again). Less stuff means more space for storing items you use every day.
Boost Bathroom Tranquility
You want your bathroom to feel like a spa, but somehow cosmetics and hair products seem to multiply on their own. Shut down the visual noise with a few simple steps that start here: Keep personal-care items out of sight and/or under control. No vanity? Arrange sundries in a shallow tray. Tuck fresh towels into a pretty basket.
Love your linen closet.
You've probably already keeping your towels and sheets neatly stacked. Kudos! Adding some stylish touches may motivate maintenance of that clutter-free look you love. Take cotton balls, swabs, and soap out of their cardboard containers and store them in clear glass jars. Use labeled baskets to hold not-so-attractive sundries or first-aid supplies. Package complete sets of sheets (flat, fitted, pillowcases) with ribbons. Keep cleaning supplies corralled in a pretty, portable tote.

On Hiatus
Mortality...it's a scary thing once it hits at the point of your life where you wonder what will happen to you. That point of life which you have no control whatsoever. At age 40, Cid Highwind, now famed pilot that commandeered a fleet of 80 foot battle airships in the Battle of Midgar, realizes that twenty more years down the road he could end up either bound to old sickness and never be able to fly again or go out with a flashy bang before that happens. Old comrade Vincent Valentine only comes to the dreaded conclusion when he pieced fragments of their conversation in the past to Cid's sudden disappearance in the icy mountains of the Northern Crater. A race against time to beat the senses out of the old pilot before frigid temperatures and strange black shape monsters overcome an old friend. ------------------------------------------------------- An FF7 doujinshi for Valenwind fans! I'm still debating whether I should go yaoi or light or friendship x.x

Statements on Auditing
Issued by the Committee on Auditing Procedure, American Institute of Certified Public Accountants 270 Madison Avenue, New York 16, N. Y. Copyright 1957 by American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
No. 28
October 1957
Special Reports
(Applicability of Reporting Standards in Special Circumstances)
1. The independent certified public accountant has long had authori-tative literature and accepted practice to guide Mm in that part of his work which has to do with reporting on the more usual types of financial statements of corporate business enterprises organized for profit. When he has undertaken to report on matters outside that category, he has had little besides his own experience and judgment to guide Mm, since the profession has not clarified the applicability of generally accepted audit-ing standards in such circumstances.
2. The purposes of this statement are:
a. To provide a basis for differentiating between reports for which the wording of the usual short-form opinion or certificate (whether used in a short-form or long-form report) is appro-priate and reports for which special wording in the opinion or certificate seems to be necessary. These latter reports are gen-erally referred to hereinafter as "special reports."
b. To clarify the applicability of generally accepted auditing standards to such special reports.

Following my earlier tests, I've got good hopes for Plack on Windows. To ramp it up from the hello world example I thought I'd try a simple network cache. HTTP isn't obviously the best protocol for this purpose, but it's widely used, presumably due to the existence of many robust servers (also maybe because people [including me of course!] can't be bothered to check for short tcp reads/writes).
To make the example simple, I have (a) elided the actual call to retrieve the data and (b) put all of the code in one file. Obviously I wouldn't recommend doing this in production but hopefully it will convey the intent.
# —
Most of my perl starts with a preamble that looks somewhat like this.
use 5.010; use strict; use warnings; use POSIX;
get_data represents a call (to a database for example) that will take a while to complete.
sub get_data { my $key = shift; sleep 5; return "[$key]"; }
get_cached_data is also very much simplified. Normally I'd expect to use something like the Cache::XXX modules.
sub get_cached_data { my $key = shift; state %cache; if (! exists($cache{$key})) { $cache{$key} = get_data($key); } return $cache{$key}; }
response wraps the PSGI response to make the example a bit cleaner. It obviously wouldn't be appropriate if other http response types were returned.
sub response { my $data = shift; return [ 200, ['Content-Type' => 'text/plain'], [$data], ]; }
Twiggy doesn't log the information about the request by default in the same way as plackup does. There may be a flag to enable that (should look at the code) but for now I synthesise it from
sub request_info { my $env = shift; my $ts = POSIX::strftime('%d/%b/%Y %H:%M:%S', localtime(time())); return qq{$env->{REMOTE_ADDR} - - [$ts] } . qq{"$env->{REQUEST_METHOD} $env->{PATH_INFO} $env->{SERVER_PROTOCOL}" } . qq{"-" "$env->{HTTP_USER_AGENT}"}; }
And there should be nothing surprising in the
# -- main my $app = sub { my $env = shift; # foreach my $key (keys %$env) { # print "$key $env->{$key}\n"; # } # Twiggy doesn't give the same request info as vanilla plack say request_info($env); # Could map METHOD/PATH to subroutine calls using a hash my $method = $env->{REQUEST_METHOD}; my $path_info = $env->{PATH_INFO}; my $start = time(); my $response = response(get_cached_data($path_info)); my $time = time() - $start; my $s = ($time == 1) ? '' : 's'; say "Generating response took $time second$s"; return $response; };
Testing with firefox is a bit crufty, but I haven't got around to adapting my test client yet.
$ twiggy --listen :8080 obj-cache.psgi 127.0.0.1 - - [30/Mar/2010 21:24:47] "GET /someurl/ HTTP/1.1" "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-GB; rv:184.108.40.206) Gecko/20100316 Firefox/3.6.2 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)" Generating response took 5 seconds 127.0.0.1 - - [30/Mar/2010 21:25:02] "GET /someurl/ HTTP/1.1" "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-GB; rv:22.214.171.124) Gecko/20100316 Firefox/3.6.2 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)" Generating response took 0 seconds # Yes, looks good!

CHARLESTON, S.C. - Growing up is a unique process because no one knows when individuals will make progress, some do it quicker than others. A team is the same way.
On Sunday afternoon, the VCU (2-2) men's basketball team took a big step forward in the growing up process a hard-fought 69-64 victory over a tough Western Kentucky (1-4) team in the final game of the 2011 Charleston Classic for both teams.
"I'm really proud of the way our guys grew up today and showed a lot of the things we were looking for," Head Coach Shaka Smart said. "Western Kentucky is a tough team and we knew we had to be locked in for 40 minutes if we wanted to get the result we were looking for. Fortunately we were able to show just enough resilience to come away with the victory."
Sophomore Rob Brandenberg led the way with a game-high 18 points on 7-of-14 shooting, along with three assists, two rebounds and two steals. Junior Darius Theus tallied double-digits again for the Rams, finishing with 12 points, five assists, three steals and three rebounds. Senior Bradford Burgess and junior Troy Daniels were the other two Rams in double-figures, each finishing with 10 points.
In his first collegiate game, T.J. Price led the Hilltoppers with 17 points including 4-of-6 from beyond the arc. Kevin Kaspar was the only other WKU player in double-digits with 13.
"We're too good of a team to ever lose three in a row, we just couldn't let that happen," Brandenberg said. "The leaders of this team really stepped up in the second half and I'm proud of the way we battled as a group. Now it's a matter of staying focused and hungry each time we take the floor."
It was a back-and-forth battle for 40 minutes with each team making their respective runs.
With 10:35 left on the first half clock, WKU led 24-18 before VCU ran off an 8-0 spurt capped off by a three-pointer from Daniels to give the Rams their first lead of the game at 26-24.
The Hilltoppers responded by retaking the lead, but Burgess put together a 7-0 scoring run all by himself to give the Black & Gold a 37-33 cushion at halftime.
After knocking down eight of their first 10 shots, WKU's offense was stifled by VCU's defense, finishing the first half by knocking down just 2 of their next 14 shots.
Those shooting woes would not carry over into the second half as the Hilltoppers connected on their first four three-point attempts of the second half en route to a 23-7 run to grab the game's largest lead at 56-44 with 8:04 remaining.
"That huddle was big for us as a team," Theus said. "When we got down 12, we really challenged each other to lock in defensively because we know that getting stops is the best way to get our offense going. I really feel our leadership took a big step forward at the moment."
Theus and Brandenberg stepped up by combining to score the next 10 points in the contest to bring VCU within two at 56-54 with 6:38 left in regulation.
WKU would push their lead to four on three occasions, but each time the Rams responded and finally took the lead with their aggressiveness late in the contest.
Burgess and Daniels both got into the lane and drew fouls with less than 70 seconds remaining. Both guards drilled their free-throws to give the Rams a 67-64 cushion with 27 seconds to play.
The Black & Gold would get the much-needed stop and freshman Briante Weber connected on two free-throws to seal the 69-64 win for the Rams.
Just like the first half, VCU's defense locked in over the final eight minutes, allowing just eight points and forcing five turnovers over that span. For the game, the Black & Gold forced 20 turnovers for the third time this year and registered double-digit steals for the third time.
The two former Sun Belt Conference rivals will face-off again on Wednesday evening when the Rams travel to Bowling Green, Ky. For a 8 p.m. EST contest.

Quinnipiac poll shows Foley and Malloy tied in race for governor
Hartford — A potential face-off between Gov. Dannel P. Malloy and Republican Tom Foley could end up being a repeat of the neck-and-neck race they ran in 2010, according to the results of a Quinnipiac University poll released today that showed each candidate being backed by 42 percent of those surveyed.
Malloy defeated Foley in 2010 by less than half of a percentage point. Among potential Republican candidates, 36 percent said they support Foley, followed by Danbury Mayor Mark Boughton with 11 percent and Shelton Mayor Mark Lauretti with 6 percent. Foley is better known than the other Republicans, so it is understandable that he is in the lead, said Douglas Schwartz, director of the poll.
"The poll is good news for Tom Foley," Schwartz said. "He dominates in the Republican primary for governor. He is also the strongest general election candidate against Governor Malloy."
But at the same time, Schwartz said, things could change between now and Election Day, and Malloy wasn't putting much stock in a March poll.
"Polls come and go, numbers go up and down," Malloy's director of communications, Andrew Doba, said in a press release. "The governor always does what he thinks is best for the state and the right thing to do."
Malloy has a job approval rating of 48 percent; Schwartz said an approval rating below 50 percent is a danger sign for an incumbent.
"I would say Malloy gets a lukewarm job approval rating," he said.
Malloy has some structural advantages, such as the fact that Democrats outnumber Republicans in Connecticut and, as an incumbent, he would get more press coverage and be able to raise campaign funds, Schwartz said.
The poll also shows widespread support for increasing the minimum wage as President Obama arrives in the state today to advocate that the federal minimum wage be increased from $7.25 an hour to $10.10.
Seventy-one percent of Connecticut voters surveyed said they are in favor of raising the minimum wage while 25 percent said they are opposed, according to the poll. Of Democrats, 93 percent are in favor while 53 percent of Republicans are against. Forty-seven percent of voters also said they thought increasing the minimum wage would help the economy.
While Republicans are against an increase, Foley said he supports it.
"The minimum wage is a fairness issue, so I support raising the minimum wage nationally to help people who struggle the most to earn a living," he said in a press release. "But Connecticut's problem isn't the minimum wage. Connecticut's problem is that far too many people, particularly young minorities in our cities, have no job at all. The job of a governor is to support policies and create an environment where high value added jobs, not minimum wage jobs, are available for everyone who wants one."
State voters gave Obama the lowest approval rating since he took office. Obama has a 45 percent approval rating compared to a 71 percent approval rating in 2009, according to the poll.
Whether Obama's presence in Connecticut will help Malloy's re-election chances remains to be seen, Schwartz said.
"Gov. Malloy's camp must think that it helps, but we will have to see, we will see in our future polls whether it really helps," Schwartz said.
But politically speaking, Malloy "is on the right side of the minimum wage issue with the overwhelming majority of Connecticut voters in favor of increasing the minimum wage," he said.
In a statement Tuesday, Malloy said increasing the minimum wage is "good for the economy and it's the right thing to do."
"We simply have to do better, and that starts with a fair, living wage for workers across Connecticut and across this country. Together, let's grow the middle class and open the doors of opportunity for millions of Americans," he said.
As for how "things are going in Connecticut," 37 percent said they were somewhat satisfied, 31 percent said they were somewhat dissatisfied and 28 percent said they were very dissatisfied. Only 4 percent said they were very satisfied.
Malloy scored best in personal qualities — 60 percent of voters said he has strong leadership qualities, 59 percent said he is honest and 50 percent said he cares about their needs. But personal qualities don't necessarily translate into job approval ratings, which are impacted by how people feel about the economy, Schwartz said.
The survey included 1,878 registered voters, with a 2.3 percent margin of error.
Minimum wage
42 percent want to increase the minimum wage to $10.10 per hour
8 percent want to increase it to something less than $10.10 per hour
20 percent want to increase it to more than $10.10 per hour
25 percent want no increase

Plaid Shirt: Thrifted // Skirt: Wholesale-Dress.net // Boots: Thrifted // Unicorn Necklace c/o RUBY // Unicorn ring c/o Amelia Mays // "Unicorn poop" ring c/o Deastar
This outfit is from Sunday, aka the last day of Aki-con, hence the dark circles underneath my eyes. Last night I slept from 8pm to 12am, woke up for two hours, then went back to sleep until this morning when I woke up for work. I feel like a new person - I was SO EXHAUSTED YESTERDAY. Geeks know how to party. And destroy livers.
This skirt is from my massive order from wholesale-dress.net - don't worry, haul post is coming soon. I am pretty in love with it, except when it came it had these weird short things sewn into them that I couldn't fit up my fat thighs. So I cut them out and now it's 100% sheer, but I still love it. Silly Asian wholesale websites!
I feel like as I receive more and more jewelry, it just becomes like 65% unicorn and the rest is... not as important. This necklace is pretty much incredible and came in a HUGE care package from RUBY in Capetown, Africa. They sent me about 10 different necklaces and a TON of super uguuu~ kawaii lingerie. Seriously one of the nicest packages I have ever received from a sponsor ever. I almost cried ;_;
Oh, also! Want to win free leggings? Romwe is, as usual, having one of their epic giveaways, and you can enter it here. I own a bunch of stuff from Romwe and I have never been disappointed in their products.
The joint makeup channel I'm involved in posted a new makeup tutorial today: this time, Meagan and Tara teach you how to be Honey Boo Boo. It's hilarious, and the look is surprisingly wearable for a night out.
And the most amazing news of my day: My article on creepers creepin' on me in cosplay made it onto Think Progress. I... wow. I've been getting a lot of negative feedback (AND positive, but the negative stings), so to have my issues and voice be heard on such a large platform has all but flabbergasted me.

Great experience
" Great buying experience. Up front and honest. Usual negotiating process. Quickest buying process I've ever experienced. I would definitely consider this dealership in the future. Eric was my salesman. He was great "
" Ask for Eric Nelson. He's a very easy-going no nonsense salesman he made the process very painless. I hope you get to enjoy working with him like I did. Very nice dealership and also very nice general manager. "
" Mr. Bell did his thing . Sorry guys I got the 6. 2 hrs in and out! Chi town! "
"We received the best customer service from the moment we..."
" We received the best customer service from the moment we stepped into Arrowhead BMW. We were greeted as we entered the showroom, treated with the highest respect by our salesman, who took his time, answered all our questions and concerns, and provided us with various options that would best meet our needs. The Finance Director was excellent. We felt our financing terms were tailored to our budget; greatly appreciated. While there we were introduced to the Sales Manager, as well as the store's General Manager and Controller. All were very supported in getting us what we needed and wanted, not what they wished to sell us. They made us feel like family. We left feeling we could contact any one of these folks if we had a need. "
" Recently leased an M340 from Arrowhead BMW! My overall experience was excellent from initial order to delivery! Erez Royal was knowledgeable and went above and beyond to help shuffle cars around so I could take final delivery. If you want a good experience I recommend Erez. "
" I hate dealerships. But from walking in the door and greeted by Bailey, and the manager with the friendliest first impression. The building is new and clean. We did t feel pressured by sales people. We sat and had a very nice pleasant interaction of all parties to make a deal on a car. It was the best experience we had. We purchased a used car for our daughter and I couldn't say anything negative. Outstanding service all around. Would recommend to anyone. Keep up the outstanding service. "
"An amazing time working with Maurice Bell at Arrowhead BmW"
" This past week I worked with Maurice Bell at Arrowhead BMW and he was an amazing sales men. He sat down with me and listen to all the needs and wants I was looking for. Not shortly after our first meeting he found me the perfect car for the perfect price. If I were to look for another BMW he would be the first person I would contact. Thanks Maurice "
" We love Arrowhead BMW! Can't say enough about their service. From the minute you step in, sales, service, parts... Doesn't matter... All amazing! They are also huge supporters of the community! Thanks for supporting the Glendale Chamber of Commerce! "
" The people's works there all of them fantastic!!!! "

Great Service from Maurice Bell

Not shortly after our first meeting he found me the perfect car for the perfect price. If I were to look for another BMW he would be the first person I would contact. Thanks Maurice "
" My son was looking for a car after having his previous one totaled. After getting jerked around at a dealer on Cameback, we came here for one car he had targeted from an online search. Where before we were given a bunch of bait and switch hooey, the associate (sorry, but I don't recall his name), not only had the car available, but had it out front, washed and ready... When it came down to "do the deal," he understood my son only had so much money to work with and, without pushing or offering a partial finance (since we had indicated we did not want any payments), we were able to come to a good compromise, and now my son has transportation again. Thank you, Arrowhead BMW for good service and friendly, not pushy sales methods.... I likely will never by a BMW, but I would recommend them heartily. "
" Great place, great selection, and very knowledgeable and friendly staff! Matt Limburg was incredibly friendly and he was very understanding with my budget. He worked hard to lower the price of a car to work within my budget! They care about you here! I highly recommend this place, and I recommend Matt Limburg! "
" Bought my beamer there!! "
" First time in and Very professional staff. "
" Very helpful giving me the history for my i3. Planning ahead for service. "
" Erez royal makes looking for a car easy and straight forward. Definitely one of the friendlier dealerships "
" My husband and I walked into Arrowhead BMW yesterday and were instantly greeted with incredible customer service. I can't tell you how much our Client Advisor, Erez, went above and beyond to help us find the perfect vehicle to fit our needs. From pulling up multiple cars for us to test drive and inspect, listening to our budget restrictions, and even treating us to Starbucks after mentioning our low energy. He went to bat for us to get us the BEST deal possible, even with negative equity in my current vehicle. Loved the people, loved the service, and drove off with my dream car! 10/10 would recommend! "
" Kynan was amazing:) I had the best experience and will definitely send all my BMW loving friends to him for their cars!! He spent a lot of time explaining and working with me to get me what I really wanted. I'm extremely happy!!! Highly recommend!!! "
" Traditionally, I don't look forward to buying a new car. While it can be exciting, in my experience, it's also cumbersome and disruptive. Until recently at Arrowhead BMW. Courtesy of Maurice Bell, I quickly located a vehicle I really liked, got a fine deal on my trade and am driving my new BMW two days later. I'm thrilled! Kudos and compliments to Maurice & Arrowhead BMW! "
" I live in Sedona and was already sold on the versatility of the X3--Xdrive. Beauty plus power. All that remained was finding one with that dynamic, hard-to-locate Phytonic Blue exterior and just the right interior to make it pop! I hopped online and was led to the equally dynamic, Maurice Bell. By the end of Day One, I felt I'd made a new friend. By Day Two, we'd located a gem, crunched the numbers until they worked, and Maurice drove it to Sedona that evening. The transaction was virtually (and "virtually") seamless! I'm delighted with the speed and efficiency of our transaction. I highly recommend Maurice Bell, Client Advisor, and Arrowhead BMW. Maurice represents both the dealership, and the brand, impeccably. "
" EREZ ROYAL And the entire staff of Arrowhead BMW went way past the extra mile What a wonderful experience for my new car buying today thank you all !!!! "
" The most fun I have ever had buying a car. From start to finish, the team at Arrowhead BMW made buying my X5 an exceptional experience. Rus did an outstanding job learning about what I was looking for and then letting me make the decision that was right for me. After my purchase, I decided to add some accessories and I could not be happier about the experience with the Service Department. John even had a video made so that I could see the correct way to add and remove my new hitch. What a wonderful idea. I live less than a mile from another BMW dealership but I will happily make the drive to Arrowhead BMW. What a great team! "
" The dealership is beautiful... I've only dealt with the service team, but they are all friendly, professional, and attentive! My Service Advisor Felix gets me in and out quickly and ensures all my concerns are addressed accurately. Plus they got free drinks & snacks. At least they did the few times I've been here. Lol! "
" "Holy Cow" as Harry Caray would say! My sales manager Maurice who just happened to be from my neck of the woods in Chicago (yes, we both are transplants), did just a superb job keeping me up to date regarding early lease term and upgrade options. He contacted me yesterday with some options, and although I wasn't due for a new vehicle until June 2020, we met today and he set me up with a new M550i, upgrading from my 540. The stars aligned financially with the dealership sticking to their word despite a minor bump. Integrity, honesty and committed to doing right by their customer are my takeaways from the dealership management. I highly recommend this Beemer team to all those interested in a no games/no haggling experience. I would especially like to recognize Maurice Bell for his professionalism and dashing personality. Maurice truly made this experience a very enjoyable one. Best of luck Arrowhead BMW, you definitely have my business going forward! "
" I am a Sales Manager who was looking for my next BMW. Needless to say typically I dread this experience as I did not have a good experience with another dealer on Camelback Rd. I know the ins and outs of the sales process and the last thing I needed was a "salesy" person trying to sell me what they wanted. Arrowhead was everything but this. From the initial interaction of their admin person Mihui to dealing with my sales rep Matt Limburg, his manager and the GM, what a positive dare I say fun experience. Excellent sales skills, business acumen and even after sale follow up by Mihui. I will 10000% fully recommend Arrowhead BMW to get your next BMW. Thank you Matt, Mihui and the amazing leadership at Arrowhead P.s. beautiful facility! "
" This is Jose Nunez and I experienced the smoothest transaction purchasing a 2019 M5 Competition all the way from New York! this would be my 6th BMW I've owned. The client advisor I was in contact with was Maurice Bell. He handled everything in a professional manner within a few days of me reaching out to him. "
" It was nice but I have a bit of travel to go to dealerships & couldn't get the answer I wanted over the phone, I had to drive to to get it. That didn't bode well with me but they were very friendly,. If you're looking for a BMW, they are the place to go. "
" I would like to thank MAURICE BELL, a client advisor in Arrowhead BMW for a smooth purchase on my 2019 M5 COMPETITION. Especially since everything took place over the phone because I reside in NEW YORK. He handled everything in a professional manner. He listened to all my requests, provided information on the car through pics & videos! I had a really great experience for someone who has had 6 BMW's prior to this. Overall, this is going to be my first M CAR !!! Cant wait till it arrives in NEW YORK. "
" Talk about incredible service! I just drove into the dealership without an appointment because my check engine light had come on. I need to mention this is used vehicle I purchased unfortunately somewhere else. I pulled into the garage and was greeted with an amazing attitude the young man opened my door and showed me into the service department waiting area. Everyone was busy I waited three or four minutes and an extremely professional gentleman greeted me and walked me into his office. He sat me down and immediately put all of my data into his system and made me feel very comfortable. Ironically it was the service director taking up some of the slack for his busy employees. His name is Darren Ferguson. After completing everything he introduced me to Andy Sivek Who was just as pleasant and professional as his boss. I guess the analogy management is a reflection upon its people is definitely true in this situation. Long story short they had given me a service loaner and had the best follow up ever along with having my car repaired next day. I also need to mention it was washed and vacuumed. This is definitely a place I would want to give all my business to without a shadow of a doubt. They deserve this right up and a lot more. "
" Mr Bell was very easy to communicate with; he understood what we wanted he listen to us, he did everything he could to fit us in the car that we liked. We are very pleased andI will recommend any of my friends and anybody I come in contact with. I'm looking for a car do you know somebody BMW Mr. Bell "
" Mark the service manager. Did an outstanding job. Helping us with the Courtesy vehicle until our vehicle was fixed. D The went above and beyond thank you so much. "
" Our 2007 X5 had to be taken to the dealership, John Cavanaugh ended up taking such good care of us. Have literally never had a better experience anywhere! Will definitely recommend to friends and family! "
" Everyone is so nice and helpful. Great selection and beautiful dealership. I would highly recommend this Arrowhead BMW Dealership. "

Welcome to Asshole Coach Digest, where we regale you Deadspin folk with stories of the meanest, cruelest, most batshit insane coaches you ever had. Email me your asshole coach story here. Off we go.
"See my form when I'm banging this girl?"
This story is about my head college football coach, who was and probably still is the world's biggest scumbag. To describe this man, he wore the old bike coaching shorts, which were awesome in 1987, not 2003. He always had mid calf white socks, sunglasses and the world's biggest fucking mustache. He would constantly explain about how he liked to give mustache rides and made very unsavory comments about co-eds he would see around our football offices. I always thought he was a harmless scumbag, until the end of my junior year when he went from harmless to completely out of control.
At the end of every season we would have an offense vs defense keg race, we would gather as a team at one of our houses and get completely shitcanned and act like assholes until one group finished their keg and proceeded to call the other a bunch of pussies. Our head coach showed up about twenty minutes after we finished our kegs, which is not really the most professional thing to do. He is drunk himself with a woman who we know for sure is not his wife whom we have all meet before. He walks in and the room goes silent, he ends that by putting my buddy Dennis in a head lock. He releases my friend, asks for a beer and starts working the room like he is fucking Johnny Utah.
Everyone is drunk and very uneasy, so we all start to avoid him by either walking outside or upstairs. Eventually we kind of lose track of him and think for sure he had left, until one of my teammates walks into the basement bathroom to find him having sex with previously said lady. He plays it off, by shutting the door real quick and then walks out and plays dumb then promptly leaves. So the next spring and fall season, he is always talking about how we are a family and all this other bullshit, and we all know he cheated on his wife in a house full of his players. What a fucking prick.
1. One day in PE, he wanted to split up the class for a game of volleyball. Rather than count off "1-2," he decided to get creative:
"Catholics and Jews, this side. Protestants and Mormons, over on this side."
2. On the way home from a football game one Friday night, one of our receivers was trying to sneak a dip of Copenhagen. Coach smells it, goes over to his seat and sees the chew. "Can't have that on the bus! Hand it over." He then proceeds to go back to his seat, pull down the window, and do the worst pump fake in the history of pump fakes,
sits down, and has himself a nice relaxing chew.
3. Basketball practice: we were doing the defensive slide drill where you're in a crouch and you shuffle along the walls of the gym, using a pivot foot to rotate. His explanation of how to do this:
"When you go to this wall, turn towards your butt. When you go to that wall, turn towards your penis."
Lick your own scabs, buddy
Two stories:
When I was a sophomore in high school, our JV football coach was 25, a recent college dropout, back at the old high school he used to go to in order to make some cash and relive some of his glory days on the football field. He had been a kicker. But you wouldn't know it given all the steroids he did. He was INTENSE.
One game, we were up 14-0 at halftime. We gathered around the coach for some words of wisdom. He knelt down in the middle of us as we stood in a circle, and shook his head. "Do you guys love football?" He asked.
There were a few mumbled "Yeahs."
He shook his head again. He looked up at us with a bloodshot, crazed look in his eyes. "You guys gotta love football. You guys gotta dream football. You guys gotta breathe football."
At this point, he looked over at our cornerback. The cornerback's knee was skinned, glistening red and pink in the dull afternoon light. Our coach reached out.
"You gotta taste football."
And with that, in one swift, shocking motion, he wiped our cornerback's wound with his dirty fingers, brought his hand back, now covered in blood and a tiny scrap of skin, and licked it clean. "Now get back out there!!!" He shouted.
The second story is from my club lacrosse team in college.
We had this coach who was barely older than some of the seniors on the team. He looked sort of like Eminem. We had a spring break trip down to Tennessee to play the Clemson club team and the UT team, and our coach told us that the school had given us each a $60 stipend for food during the week. As he handed us the money at our hotel, he issued us a stern warning. "Now I know you guys are gonna want to go out and party, but we're here representing NYU. You have to be on your best behavior."
Later that night, we saw a bouncer pulling our coach out of a bar by his neck. He'd gotten drunk and started a fight in the bathroom. While wearing an NYU T-shirt.
The next year, we had a new coach, and come spring break, our new coach informed us of the $120 bucks the school was giving us as a stipend.
"Wow!" we said. "Double last year."
"What do you mean?" our new coach said. The athletic department insisted they gave us the same as last season.
There were 25 of us. He stole $1,500 from our stipends total. Later, we found out he'd also sold our emails to one of those party promotion websites. The spam still hasn't ended. But we never heard from him again.
The tackling sled of death
One day we were supposed to spend the class running around the football stadium and through a section of the woods near the school. It was my first day back at school after being out sick for a few days, and so I asked one of the coaches if I could sit out. He laughed sarcastically, and directly accused me of faking. I shrugged, he gave me a disgusted look, and told me to sit down.
So fast forward to the end of the period, and the class is walking back to the school. I'm walking by myself, not paying attention to too much. From somewhere off in the distance I hear the coach yell, "All the lineman! I need all the lineman!" Still not paying attention, I continue walking toward the school, staring at the ground. After a little while, I hear a noise. I look behind me, and I see a six-wide tackling sled barrelling toward me at full speed, the coach riding on the top of it, staring at me with a Jerry-Jones-yeehawwww grin on his face. I jumped out of the way at the last second, similar to the way someone would jump out of a moving car in a movie, just as the tackling sled clipped my foot. Laying on the ground in the dirt, my little toe broken, I look up to see the tackling sled speed away, the coach atop of it laughing maniacally.
Always with the busted collarbones
I was on the freshman football team at a large high school in 1975. We were scrimmaging and I was the tight end. We had run a tight end reverse and the coach yelled the words that all ball carriers dread: Run it again! The defense knew what was coming. The guards pulled right and I went left to receive the hand off when I was crushed by the unblocked inside linebacker who decided to blitz. When we hit the ground, I heard my collarbone snap. The pain was the most intense I had ever felt. The quarterback came over and announced that I was hurt. The coach said, "Get up you fucking pussy! Rub a little dirt on it! Run it again!" I didn't make it out of my stance. I just laid there writhing in agony. The coach yelled for the trainer, " Hey, come get this fucking pussy off my field!"
The trainer took me to the hospital and called my parents. The coach never said another word to me.
Are coaches still like this?
Wait, this edition needs more racism
My Sophomore high school football coach was a belligerent 65 year old white man who had very little care for choosing his words properly. We go into halftime tied in our late October against Waukegan— a team that is 99% black— and our coach starts yelling at us because he says we should be beating the crap out of this team. It's not because we're bigger, stronger, or have a better game plan, it's because "...It's 40 goddamn degrees outside, and if I know one thing, it's that black people don't like the cold." All of us are pretty shocked, but none more than John C. John is the only black kid on our team. A few seconds of silence pass by and our coach turns to John and says "John, you know that! Tell 'em!"

This document describes one reason why the Call Forward No Answer (CFNA) fails to work and provides a solution in a Cisco CallManager environment.
Cisco recommends that you have knowledge of this topic:
Cisco CallManager
The information in this document is based on these software and hardware versions:
Cisco CallManager Version 4.x
The information in this document was created from the devices in a specific lab environment. All of the devices used in this document started with a cleared (default) configuration. If your network is live, make sure that you understand the potential impact of any command.
Refer to Cisco Technical Tips Conventions for more information on document conventions.
A partition comprises a logical group of directory numbers (DNs) and route patterns with similar reachability characteristics. Devices like DNs and route patterns are typically in partitions. These are entities that are associated with DNs that users dial. For simplicity, partition names usually reflect their characteristics, such as "LALongDistancePT," "LA911PT," and so on. When a DN or route pattern is placed into a certain partition, this action creates a rule that specifies which devices can call that device or route list.
If no one is available to answer the phone when a call comes in, the phone rings until the caller hangs up. Cisco CallManager fails to transfer the call to the Cisco Unity Voice Mail. It seems that the communication between Cisco CallManager and Cisco Unity is broken.
Figure 1 shows a possible configuration. "1000" in the Coverage/Destination field represents the Cisco Unity Voice Mail Pilot as arrow A in Figure 1 shows.Figure 1 – Call Forward Configuration
The root cause of the issue is the partition name change. It causes the Forward Manager to get out of synchronization and call forwarding to fail. CFNA ceases to work for all lines in that partition if you change the partition name in Cisco CallManager 4.x.
After you change the partition name, you must restart Cisco Database Layer Monitor and Cisco CallManager.
Complete these steps:
Choose Start > Programs > Administrative Tools > Services.
Right-click Cisco Database Layer Monitor.
See arrow B in Figure 2.Figure 2 – Services
Select Restart in the popup box.
Right-click Cisco CallManager.

The annual meetings of China's rubber-stamp parliament are eagerly watched by officials, academics, pundits and others for portents of the year(s) ahead. Speeches at China's National People's Congress and comments made on the sidelines are parsed, deconstructed and turned backward and forward in hopes of figuring out: "What do they really mean?"
Decoding Beijing's utterances can be as difficult as deciphering the oracle bones at Taiwan's National Palace Museum. A couple of messages this week, however, appear to be crystal-clear.
The first addresses the long-hoped-for — by the Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) at least — meeting between President Ma Ying-jeou (馬英九) and Chinese President Xi Jinping (習近平). Ma administration officials, including the Mainland Affairs Council, have been hoping that this year's APEC leaders' summit in Beijing would provide an opportunity.
China's Association for Relations Across the Taiwan Straits (ARATS) Vice Chairman Sun Yafu (孫亞夫) said on Tuesday that Beijing had ruled out an international setting for the potential meeting, but was open to holding it in a third location. However, the meeting's agenda would have to be defined in advance, he said, indicating that Beijing was not interested in getting together "just to shake hands."
Two days later, Sun's boss — ARATS Chairman Chen Deming (陳德銘) — was even more succinct.
"I personally think that the core matter of the meeting is that everyone must see the '1992 consensus' and 'one China' framework, that both sides belong to the same family and share a common 'China dream,'" he said.
ARATS is just pretending to be open-minded by throwing Ma and the KMT a morsel with the "need to agree on the '1992 consensus,'" given that the foundation of the KMT and Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) rapprochement over the past decade is a shared reliance on a piece of propaganda dreamed up by a KMT hack in 2000 just before the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) took power in Taipei.
It does not take a seer or a code breaker to get Beijing's message: Forget about an APEC confab and be prepared to follow Beijing's version of "one China."
Yet, as obtuse as ever, Mainland Affairs Council Minister Wang Yu-chi (王郁琦) on Thursday said that "despite differing opinions, the council believes that APEC is still the ideal place for Ma and Xi to meet."
People in Hong Kong appear to be quicker on the uptake than Wang. At least, they have been quicker to parse the message delivered by National People's Congress head Zhang Dejiang (張德江) on Thursday in an address to congress delegates from Hong Kong.
According to the delegates, Zhang said "importing" Western-style democracy for the 2017 election of the territory's next chief executive could lead to "disastrous" results. He said that candidates would have to "love" China, abide by Hong Kong's Basic Law and not damage "the motherland's sovereignty, safety and future development," or the China-Hong Kong relationship.
One delegate said Zhang said copying a foreign electoral system could become "a democracy trap."
Hong Kong democracy advocates have been pushing for open and public nominations for candidates for the post, as opposed to the selection of one candidate by Beijing-stacked committees. Beijing's response is that while it may be willing to allow universal suffrage in the territory, it will continue to cherry-pick the candidate.

It's a spinoff of the original Devil Summoner. Pretty much if you've played like Persona 2, you should know generally what to expect. Two rows of characters and 90s era RPG combat.
Most people are saying it's a PSone Classic, as there are legal issues that prevent the full remake from being released.
TL;DR Atlus deserves a little more credit than I think you're giving them.

The common factor present in all living organisms, from bacteria to man, is the information contained in all their cells.
A small selection of the frequently asked questions about information theory are now listed and answered briefly.
We can now begin to evaluate semantic information quantitatively, after having considered the essentials at the semantics level in the preceding chapters.
To rise above Shannon's information theory, it is necessary to define measures for semantic information which must be generally valid.
If someone presents a model for explaining the origin of life, but he cannot say where the creative information characteristic of all life-forms came from, the crucial question remains unanswered.
Information accosts us from all sides and presents itself over a wide range of manifestations.
There is an extreme multiplicity of life-forms around us, and even a simple unicellular organism is much more complex and purposefully designed than anything that human inventiveness can produce.
Information always plays a substitutionary role. The encoding of reality is a mental process.
The question is whether these pictures represent information or not.
Many scientists therefore justly regard information as the third fundamental entity alongside matter and energy.
Through the natural sciences, the world around us is observed for the purpose of discovering the rules governing it.
What is the reason that such a system can function?
The topic of this book is the concept of information.
The question about the duration of the creation days arises frequently. I believe it can be shown from a biblical and scientific viewpoint that one can have full confidence in the biblical account.
Stephen W. Hawking, identifies the ultimate question behind everything. 'Today we still yearn to know why we are here and where we came from.'
The cells of the human body can produce at least 100,000 different types of proteins, all with a unique function. The information to make each of these complicated molecular machines is stored on the well-known molecule, DNA.
For decades, speculation about extraterrestrial life has been boosted by tales of flying saucers and encounters with aliens.
People have always been fascinated by the stars and many have tried to count them.
A rigorous analysis of the characteristics of information demonstrates that living things intrinsically reflect both the mind and will of their Creator.
In this system God is not the omnipotent Lord of all things, whose Word has to be taken seriously by all men, but He is integrated into the evolutionary philosophy.

Whether you want to have some fun in the kitchen or get crafty in the classroom, we've got some Roald Dahl inspiration for you...
From Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and its descriptions of luscious fudge, dreamy chocolate and everlasting gobstoppers, to The Twits and their horrible wormy spaghetti, Roald Dahl's books are full of fantastical descriptions of food - nasty and nice.
In his own life, too, Roald was a fan of food and drink. The Roald Dahl Cookbook includes several recipes from Roald's own kitchen, with contributions from his family and friends as well as his own favourites.
