Organizing your coupons is key to being successful. If you can't find a coupon – it does you no good, right!? You want a system that works for you and your style. I recently switched from my coupon binder to a box.
If you're a visual person – watch my video first! I cover most of these details in my Organize your Coupons in a Box video
If you don't see the video you can view it here.
Find the right box. If you don't have the right box, you won't keep up with it. It has to be the right width and size for you. See if you have a FREE box at home – try a shoe box, a photo box, a small rubbermaid box. This is the exact item I purchased from Office Depot. It's a Really Useful Boxes(R) Plastic Storage Box, 6.5 Liters, 6 1/4in.H x 7in.W x 17 1/2in.D, Clear – for about $9.99. Although it costs more, it's very durable and I can use it for something other than coupons if I ever decide to stop using it.
This box is very narrow and long, so it fits perfectly in the baby seat of the shopping cart!
When I first started couponing, I used a hard-sided photo box and business envelopes (see below). This lasted for a couple years before I needed a change and switched to the binder method. Nothing fancy – but inexpensive to start up and very easy to use.
Envelopes or card stock. I used leftover card stock from my wedding invitations (7.5 years old)! I used a paper cutter to cut them to the width of the box and folded in half – like file folders. You can also use envelopes, but I opted not to because they felt harder to open and look through. Try out a few different options – hold them, flip thru them and "take them for a test drive" before you make a whole box of them.
Labels. I used Avery address labels template 5160 and printed off A-Z labels. I rotated the text to go sideways on the label so I could use it as a tab.I split each letter into two folders to make it easier to file and find my coupons – for example A-AK and AL-AZ. If you decide to use envelopes, you can use a piece of card stock sticking out of the top with the letter on the top or use the same kind of labels.
Download my label templates here:
- PDF version of coupon box labels – You won't be able to modify this file, but you will have the cute Queen Bee font. As long as you have labels that will work with the Avery address labels template 5160 – you can print them using this file and they will print just fine on labels.
- Word document of labels – This won't have the Queen Bee font pictured above, it's Times New Roman, but you can modify it however you like. You will need a Word-based program to download this file and it's using the Avery address labels template 5160.
Store-specific envelopes. For store specific coupons like Target, Safeway or Fred Meyer coupons – you can make envelopes just for your store coupons. I didn't bother to label these because they aren't as durable and it was easy enough for me to tell which store they were for.
Add your contact information. Make sure your name and phone number are clearly, and permanently, marked on your coupon box (or binder). Think about how heartbroken you would be if you lost it!
Don't clip all your coupons if you don't have to. I still believe strongly that it's best to organize most of your coupon inserts by date and to avoid clipping them until you actually need them for a sale. When you see them listed in a weekly match-up or you find them listed in the Queen Bee Coupon database – then go and clip them. Of course I clip the coupons I know I'll use or I know will make for a good deal and I'll put them in my box. See my post about organizing your coupon inserts here.
- It's so much easier to clip and file your coupons – Just make alphabetical piles when you are clipping your coupons. When you are done, just drop them into their corresponding folders/envelopes. No folding and squeezing to get them into baseball card page slots. You can staple or paper clip similar coupons together for easy sorting.
- Much less expensive to set up. Find a free box around your home or spend less than $10. Use envelopes or card stock from your supplies at home.
- When it comes time to finding a coupon on the fly, you have to go through all the coupons in the folder. Whereas with a binder, you can flip through and look at the pages – which I think is easier for spotting coupons.
- Don't drop it – you'll have a mess. If I dropped my box, I might have to cry. Coupons would be everywhere, whereas the binder pages hold your coupons in a little bit better.
I am very excited about my new box method of organizing my coupons and I hope this post is helpful for you!

Residents in Columbia Gather for \"Poor Man\'s Breakfast\"
Related Story
COLUMBIA - Residents of Columbia gathered at St. Luke United Methodist Church Monday for Almeta Crayton's "Poor Man's Breakfast," an event she and volunteers host every year on Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. day.
People from all walks of life lined up in the church's fellowship hall at 8 a.m. for a plate of bacon, sausage, eggs, biscuits and fruit. "This is one of the few times people from the community get together to eat a meal," Mizzou student Desmon Turner said. Turner is a part of Mizzou's Black Men Initiative, a group which has volunteered at the breakfast for the past four years. "I think since the breakfast is free it really pays tribute to Dr. King's spirit and what he stood for," Turner said.
Women from the local graduate chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority also volunteered at the event. Many helped prepare food. Chapter president Linda Garth said members have been helping out since Crayton created the event. "We are celebrating Dr. Martin Luther King Day through a day of service," Garth said. "We want to call attention to making a difference in the community, and this is our way of uniting with Dr. King and his legacy."
Guests filled the fellowship hall with laughs and friendly conversation, many gathered around a small TV in the corner to watch President Barack Obama's inauguration. "It's so ironic that the inauguration fell on the same day as Martin Luther King Day," Crayton said. "That makes this day even more special. Dr. King worked hard to help the little people, and that's what we're doing today, helping the little people."
The breakfast catered to less fortunate people in the community, but anyone was welcome to attend. Crayton said she has been hosting this event for the past 20 years, and plans to continue helping the less fortunate in the future.

Freezing temperatures and strong winds scuttled the Swiss Machine's attempt to climb 7861 m Nuptse in Nepal. Is he disappointed? No, he feels stronger than ever!
Suunto ambassador Ueli Steck and climbing partner Colin Haley reached 6900 m on Nuptse before abandoning their attempt to reach its summit.

While a borderline weather window opened on October 23 and 24, conditions were poor with a temperature of -28°C and a 50 km/h winds at the summit. The weather report for the following days predicted worse; -35°C and 80 to 100 km/h winds.
"We decided to give it a go on the south face anyway," Ueli says. "We scooped a fast, less technical line and hoped to at least reach the top. But from the beginning the meteorological test wasn't positive."
No one has successfully climbed Nuptse via its highly technical south face since Russian climbers Valeri Babanov and Yuri Koshelenko first did it in 2003.
Climbing the south face. © Ueli Steck
Ueli, Colin and two French climbers began the attempt from Chuckung valley at 04:30 and reached the base of the south face two hours later. After changing boots, they began the climb, which included sections of ice at 75° degrees, but mostly between 35° and 45° degrees. "It was beautiful climbing," Ueli says.
At around 14:00, they reached 6900 m and set up camp for the night. The following day they planned to summit and return to camp. But it wasn't to be. Strong winds that night and in the morning made it too dangerous to continue so they packed up and returned to Chuckung.
"It's just impossible with 50 to 60 km/h winds to climb at that altitude without getting frostbite," Ueli says. "There was also a significant amount of fresh snow so avalanche danger was also a factor."
© Ueli Steck
Despite not achieving his goal, Ueli says he learns and grows as a climber from every climb, whether successful or not. Another attempt on Nuptse is on the cards in the future.
"It's the perfect mountain to me," Ueli says. It's almost 8000 m, which is definitely another game than climbing 6000 or 7000 m peaks.
"Also, it's not a remote mountain that takes weeks to get to. I like the climbing, but I don't like too much hiking."
Over the coming winter months, Ueli plans to work on and present slideshows of his big summer in the mountains. In spring next year, he and German alpinist David Goettler will attempt to climb 8027 m Shishapangma, the 14th highest mountain in the world, via its technically demanding south face.
© Ueli Steck
For now, he's back in Switzerland enjoying some well deserved rest time.
"I am super postive from the trip to Nuptse," Ueli says. "I didn't have many restdays and I climbed and ran a lot. I feel stronger then ever!"

The information provided above is a generalized description of scrap metal theft. You must combine the basic facts with a more specific understanding of your local problem. Carefully analyzing the local problem will help you design a more effective response strategy and gain partners to determine the best solution.
Scrap metal theft problems became prominent in 2005, yet little systematic research has been done to determine generalizable causes. Tackling the problem of scrap metal theft requires understanding the organizational arrangements between sellers and buyers, in addition to understanding the features of specific theft locations and knowing about individual offenders. It is important to understand how local demand contributes to scrap metal theft and how it influences offenders' behavior.
Communities facing scrap metal theft problems might seek help from university researchers to analyze data about the problem. Indianapolis police partnered with the University of Indianapolis Community Research Center to collect data on scrap metal thefts. In this collaborative effort, known as the Indianapolis Metal Theft Project,30 researchers gathered and analyzed a wide variety of data related to the costs and types of scrap metal theft so that police could apply improved strategies to the problem. In addition to listing cities with the most claims (Cleveland, Ohio; Detroit, Michigan; Chicago, Illinois) and most claims per population (Cleveland; Flint, Michigan; Birmingham, Alabama) the study also found that the greater the number of scrap yards in a city, the greater the number of metal thefts.31 However, the researchers noted several caveats to their findings and emphasized the value of collaborative efforts among various stakeholders.
In addition to criminal justice agencies, you should consider the following groups for the contribution they can make in gathering information and formulating an adequate response to scrap metal theft:
§ In the summer of 2008, AT&T worked with the San Diego County (California) Sheriff's Department, and the FBI, leading to a number of arrests of scrap metal dealers for buying stolen metal following a series of undercover operations.
The following are some critical questions you should ask in analyzing your particular scrap-metal theft problem, even if the answers are not always readily available. Your answers to these and other questions will help you choose the most appropriate set of responses.
§ Offenders will often reveal valuable information related to your local scrap-metal theft problem, such as which dealers are easy to sell to or which locations thieves are targeting, and you should thoroughly interview them to gain appropriate intelligence. For more information, see Problem-Solving Tools Guide No. 3, UsingOffender Interviews To Inform PoliceProblem-Solving.
Measurement allows you to determine how well your efforts have succeeded, and suggests how you might modify your responses if they are not producing the intended results. You should take measures of your problem before you implement responses, to determine how serious the problem is, and after you implement them, to determine whether they have been effective. You should take all measures in both the target area and the surrounding area. For more-detailed guidance on measuring effectiveness, see the Problem-Solving Tools Guide titled Assessing Responses to Problems: An Introductory Guide for PoliceProblem-Solvers.
The following are potentially useful measures of the effectiveness of responses to scrap metal theft:

Was watching the bible study on Genisis TV this evening and naturally, the flood situation in England featured heavily. Lots of referances to Noah, and the fact that God wouldn't judge the world with a global flood, although there would of course be lots of local ones.
Several e-mailers made the comment that "it was no coincidence that the flooding started on the very day that the final Harry Potter book was released". Another e-mailer remarked that some of the worst flooding had taken place near J.K.Rowling's birth place in Gloucestershire. Is this mere coincidence or is God judging England becuse of Harry Potter ? This view was not held by either Tim Vince or Alun Thun (the hosts of the programme), but neither disagreed with the e-mails.
The fundies do not seem to like Harry Potter, either in the UK or US !

Paul Joseph Watson
Prison Planet
Monday, March 3, 2008
A smear campaign against Oscar-winning French actress Marion Cotillard is now in full swing, with the establishment media attempting to hide the fact that her comments about 9/11 echo the sentiment of hundreds of widely-respected intelligence and scientific experts in addition to public opinion.
Cotillard's statements about the suspicious collapse of the WTC buildings mirror those of a 20-year Marine Corps infantry and intelligence veteran.
In February 2007, 20-year Marine Corps infantry and intelligence officer, the second-ranking civilian in U.S. Marine Corps Intelligence, and former CIA clandestine services case officer Robert Steele went on record as saying that, "Dick Cheney saw this as a gift of heaven, and organized the 9-11 exercises so as to have complete operational control of the U.S. government, and he "let it happen."
Steele also directly accused WTC complex leaseholder Larry Silverstein of having advance knowledge of the attacks and rigging the WTC towers and Building 7 with demolition charges, "In order to clear the area for rebuilding and get the $7 billion in insurance money."
Marion Cotillard basically echoed Steele's sentiment when she stated, "It (the WTC complex) was a money-sucker because they were finished, it seems to me, by 1973, and to re-cable all that, to bring up-to-date all the technology and everything, it was a lot more expensive, that work, than destroying them."
By dredging up statements made by Cotillard over 12 months ago, the spin doctors had hoped to isolate and ridicule the actress and make an example out of her while debunking 9/11 truth at a point in time where the official story holds about as much credibility as a used car salesman.
But the move will undoubtedly backfire because the establishment has failed to account for the fact that the majority of Americans and indeed global citizens doubt the official 9/11 story.
An October 2006 New York Times/CBS poll found that a paltry 16% of Americans thought the government was telling the truth about 9/11 and the intelligence prior to the attacks, meaning 84% doubted the accuracy of the official story.
A May 2006 Zogby poll found that over 70 million Americans supported a new investigation into 9/11 and less than half of the American public trusted the official 9/11 story or believed the attacks were adequately investigated. The figure supporting a new investigation rose to 51% of Americans in a September 2007 poll.
In addition, the same poll found that 67% also faulted the 9/11 Commission for not investigating anomalous collapse of World Trade Center 7.
As far back as August 2004, another Zogby poll established the fact that half of New Yorkers believe there was government complicity in 9/11.
The media is attempting to smear Cotillard as an anti-American French nutcase by making out that doubting the official 9/11 story is some kind of poisoned chalice and tantamount to holocaust denial. The fact is that the 9/11 cover-up is so out in the open that most people with two brain cells to rub together know it's a con.
Cotillard is not going off on a mad tangent and endangering her career, she is merely saying what the majority of other people think.
During a French television interview, Cotillard said the public had been lied to about the terror attacks and highlighted the bizarre collapse of the twin towers in comparison with other buildings, specifically Madrid's Windsor Building, which burned intensely for over 24 hours yet did not implode like the WTC.
"We see other towers of the same kind being hit by planes. Are they burned? They [sic] was a tower, I believe it was in Spain, which burnt for 24 hours. It never collapsed. None of these towers collapsed. And there [in New York], in a few minutes, the whole thing collapsed," said Cotillard.
Hours after the comments were picked up by news outlets across the world, a reactionary media smear campaign was initiated, despite the fact that Cotillard actually made the statements over a year ago, and we were told that Cotillard's future Hollywood success was apparently "in jeopardy".
The Parliament of Japan, the former President of Italy, widely-respected CIA veteran Robert Baer and even American music icon Willie Nelson have all questioned 9/11 in recent months.
Since the attacks, a top former member of Tony Blair's cabinet, Germany's Secretary of Defense and the founder of Reagonomics have all slammed the official story – along with a cacophony of former government, military, intelligence and political professionals.
The Hollywood Today website cites the comments of 9/11 first responder "Mike Lennon" who calls the comments "ignorant and despicable" and encourages people to picket Cotillard's upcoming movie with Johnny Depp.
To assert that questioning the official 9/11 story is harmful to the victims is a tired old propaganda ruse that has been tried on many occasions in the past by establishment media hacks.
The fact is that the majority of victim's family members doubt the official story and have been pushing for a new investigation for years – as attested to by Bill Doyle, head of the largest victim's family support group.
In addition, 9/11 firemen and first responders were themselves the victims of an admitted government cover-up in the very hours after 9/11 when they were told that the toxic asbestos-laden air was safe to breathe – an official lie that has cost the heroes of 9/11 at best lifelong debilitating illnesses and at worst their lives.
The media's attempt to make an example out of Cotillard by digging up year-old comments in an organized smear attack campaign smacks of total desperation as the gatekeepers try to act as the little Dutch boy and block up the holes of the gaping official 9/11 story.

Schaeffler's drive train innovations offer up to 15 percent reduction in fuel consumption Schaeffler's Efficient Future Mobility North America Demonstration Vehicle Displays Bundled Technologies for Reduced Fuel Consumption and Answers to the CAFE Challenges
During its press conference at the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) in Detroit, Schaeffler presented a new concept vehicle. The Efficient Future Mobility North America vehicle is based on a mid-size SUV and shows the range of Schaeffler solutions for optimizing North American internal combustion engine drive trains. All of the showcased solutions are cost-effective, close to volume production and, when integrated into an all-wheel drive (AWD) vehicle, make a valuable contribution to reducing fuel consumption. The overall potential for savings is up to 15 percent, bringing North American vehicles closer to fulfilling the increasingly stringent Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards.
"Schaeffler's meticulously detailed work on drive trains based on internal combustion engines offers significant potential for reducing fuel consumption and emissions," summarizes Prof. Peter Gutzmer, CTO of Schaeffler AG. In keeping with Schaeffler's established concept vehicles, the Efficient Future Mobility North America vehicle plays a key role in development and serves as a demonstration vehicle for the components and systems that are bundled within it. "Even with the efficient platform we selected, we still see further potential for optimization. The solutions on display take the market-specific demands and customer requirements in North America into account."
Accordingly, the concept vehicle is based on the current version of a mid-size SUV that is popular in North America and - as is the case with the majority of North American vehicles - features an automatic transmission with a torque converter. Overall, the detailed solutions displayed in the Efficient Future Mobility North America vehicle make it possible to achieve additional fuel savings of up to 14 to 15 percent, depending on the utilization profile. Schaeffler solutions such as the thermal management module and AWD separating clutch play a role as do Schaeffler's engine start-stop innovations, such as the permanently engaged starter with a wrap spring one-way clutch. The fuel savings improvements are the result of friction optimization work being carried out on belt drives and valve trains, as well as advancements to balancer shafts and wheel bearings - a mechanism for aerodynamically optimized closing of radiator grills - and the optimization of the torque converter.
The new AWD separating clutch, which decouples the unused drive axle from the drive train depending on the driving situation to provide a savings contribution of up to six percent (on the highway), is an example of the drive train optimization potential achievable with Schaeffler's advanced technologies. The savings that can be achieved in city traffic are approximately two percent. However, the permanently engaged starter generator with a wrap spring one-way clutch can offer additional city driving improvements. In addition to a considerable increase in comfort, due to the smooth engine start-stop function, and a significant improvement in so-called "change of mind" situations (in which the engine is already switched off, but the driver quickly decides to drive on), this innovation helps to achieve fuel savings of up to six percent in city traffic.
This new engine start-stop solution also delivers fuel consumption benefits on the highway, as it provides additional functions such as "sailing" where the drive train decouples and the internal combustion engine switches off as the vehicle is moving at high speed. An additional one percent reduction in fuel consumption and an important emissions contribution can be achieved through the integration of a thermal management module. This module allows the optimum engine operating temperature to be reached in the shortest time possible and the temperature balance, into which components such as transmission and hybrid elements are also integrated, to be precisely controlled.
The Schaeffler demonstration vehicle, which was developed in North America, demonstrates ways in which future CAFE requirements can be met using existing cost-effective technology. "The project is structured in two phases," explains Jeff Hemphill, CTO of Schaeffler North America. "The objective of phase one is to fulfill the requirements for the year 2020. In the second phase, we will add hybrid systems with the aim of fulfilling the requirements for the year 2025."
"Schaeffler is an established and globally oriented development, industrialization, and manufacturing partner for automobile manufacturers," explains Dr. Juergen M. Geissinger, CEO of Schaeffler AG. "With a total of 180 locations in more than 50 countries and a global network of 40 research and development centers, we are true to our 'In the region, for the region' motto. Our customers benefit locally from our regional strength. At the same time, Schaeffler's regional expertise strengthens the global network - which benefits our customers who also operate globally and to whom we provide decisive support in creating advanced solutions for modern, energy-efficient mobility."

Gordon Beckham – Beckham had such a promising rookie year, but he has been a disappointment in 2010 and 2011. Two items really seem to be the cause of his struggles. First, he walk rate is at 4.1%, down from 9.5% just two years ago. Second, he has an IFFB% [Infield Fly Ball % (IFFB/FlyBall)] of 27.3%, second worst in the league behind Carlos Lee's 31.6%.
In other White Sox blogs, J.J. examines past Tuesday's Phillip Humber start against the Yankee$ and the implications of the upcoming Tuesday's Francisco Liriano start against the White Sox, and James asks 'Are the White Sox unwatchable?' and examines past Wednesday's Bartolo Colon start against the White Sox.

I think every elementary school had that skeleton in it somewhere, back in the days when it was still okay for public schools to decorate for Halloween.
I remember many of these decorations from my childhood. Thanks for sharing!

Lady Gaga is bringing futuristic video screen glasses to the world, but movies and television have already expanded our eyewear horizons. Here are a dozen specs, lenses and goggles with powers that go far beyond video play
Doc Brown
Not only are they stylish in any century, these safety glasses are rated for time travel.
Geordi LaForge
Yeah it causes constant pain, but who wouldn't want to see the infrared and ultraviolet spectrums. And it doubles as a microscope!
Clark Kent
Glasses that make it impossible for anyone to tell who you are; who doesn't need a pair of those for sneaking out of the office?
Everyone with lasers for eyes needs a pair of Dr. Xavier's ruby lenses.
Ed's goggles plug right into Cowboy Bebop's 2071 version of the internet. This girl doesn't surf the net, she swims in it.
They Live!
Want to reveal the skull aliens and their subliminal messages? Then you'll need a pair of sunglasses from John Carpenter's horror flick They Live!
Maybe you don't need to hide creepy terminator eyes, but these sunglasses go better with a handgun than anything else.
Caprica's virtual reality doesn't require bulky headgear or weird gloves. Just these simple stylish frames and some blue light.
Molly Millions
They may look like futuristic silver sunglasses, but Molly's lenses are surgically implanted vision enhancers. To match the surgically implanted razors beneath her fingernails.
Commander Sheppard
This Mass Effect visor improves aim by ten percent. If only real glasses could offer those odds (and also be made out of light).
National Treasure
Not just great for tracking down Masonic clues, these glasses have real historical provenance. After all, Ben Franklin was the Lady Gaga of his day.
Phineas and Ferb
An awful lot of people have been ripped off by X-Ray glasses. When that happens to Phineas and Ferb they make a few pairs that actually work.

Pent Metal Shed 387 - Hinged Door, Galvanized Steel
This tall great value pent roof metal shed is approximately 3'x5' with an attractive grey coloured external finish. Heavier than most other comparable metal sheds, all framing and cladding is hot dip galvanized steel. The cladding and doors are also resin coated on both sides. Standard features include a hinged door with sliding padbolt and a heavy duty threshold. Strong foundation rails are also included. All fixings and instructions are included. Options include a unique timber base and a selection of base anchor fixings to ensure that your shed is fixed down securely. Accessories include shelves, tool racks and tool hooks.
- Hot dip galvanized steel framing
- Hot dip galvanized steel cladding panels with a tough epoxy resin coating inside and out
- Attractive grey colour to external cladding
- Contrasting colour to fascias and door frame trims
- Pale colour to all internal cladding
- Sliding padbolt to suit most padlocks (padlock not supplied)
- Vertical, horizontal and diagonal door framing
- Cladding sheets are corrugated and ribbed for extra strength
- Corner cladding sheets are folded ninety degrees and overlapped to provide a strong and waterproof corner joint
- 125mm x 30mm door threshold
- 110mm x 30mm and 55mm x 30mm foundation rails
- Single hinged door in the lower 5' wide wall
- Overall height approximately 6'1" (1860mm)
- Eaves height approximately 5'9" (1750mm)
- Door height approximately 5'7" (1700mm)
- External roof size 2'11" deep x 4'8" wide (890mm x 1430mm)
- External cladding size approximately 2'7" deep x 4'3" wide (800mm x 1300mm)
- Overall weight 30kg excluding floor - heavier than similar metal sheds supplied by others
- This shed is easy to deliver if access is restricted - all sections are designed to pass through a normal single door
GALVANIZED STEEL: These great value sheds are made with galvanized steel throughout. All framing and cladding is hot dip galvanized steel. This is a process by which steel is coated with zinc to protect it from corrosion. The cladding is subsequently coated with epoxy resin, partly to protect the zinc coating itself and partly to add colour. The factory finish is described as primer although a top coat is not normally needed. The combination of a zinc coating with epoxy resin provides durable protection even if the surface is scratched.
In common with all other steel buildings, including even the largest sports stadia, retail superstores and warehouses, steel cladding sheets are surprisingly thin. The strength of steel buildings is provided by the frame, although the corrugations of the cladding sheets do provide a degree of extra strength. These metal sheds feature strong galvanized steel framing members and the completed frame is rigid.
As a rough and ready rule, the heavier a metal shed is the stronger it is. Our sheds are heavier than most similar metal sheds which is why we publish the weight.
SIZES - DEPTH AND WIDTH: The sizes are listed alongside the price. The first dimension listed is the depth and the second dimension is the width. The depth refers to the sloping wall. The sizes listed alongside the prices are the external roof sizes. The external wall sizes may be smaller.
- Next day delivery or delay the delivery until you're ready at the same price
- Saturday delivery available at additional cost
- AM delivery before noon available at additional cost
- A choice of floor options and base anchor fixings

- Heavy duty galvanized steel base kits
- Concrete hammer fixings
- Corner brackets
- Floor bolts
- Galvanized steel shelf, 2'7" long and 8" wide (800mm x 200mm). The kit includes shelf brackets and fixings.
- Galvanized steel tool racks, supplied in pairs, each 2'4" long (700mm). Each tool rack is punched with 24 holes, slots and hooks in a variety of sizes. The maximum storage capacity is therefore at least 48 tools. The kit includes all fixings.
- Galvanized steel double tool hooks, supplied in packs of 4 and easy to fit or move by simply hooking over the horizontal framing with no fixings needed
- Solar powered lights
- Padlocks
NO FLOOR: This shed can be built without a floor if it is placed directly onto concrete, paving slabs or decking. This is normally the cheapest option if a suitable area of existing hardstanding is available. If so, the pre-drilled galvanized steel foundation rails should be fixed into your base. If the base is timber, the screws supplied with the shed can be used to fix the pre-drilled steel foundation rails into the base. If the base is concrete or paving we offer concrete hammer fixings and galvanized steel corner brackets as a low cost option.
GALVANIZED STEEL BASE KITS: Our heavy duty galvanized steel base kits make building a solid concrete floor easier. This is a popular option if there is no suitable area of existing concrete, paving or decking. The steel base kit can be laid directly onto any flat surface including compacted soil, paving or concrete. The steel frame is easy to assemble and the correct size to suit the shed. The layout of the steel beams divides the floor into small sections which makes laying the mortar screed easier if you are inexperienced. Each section is filled with mortar and levelled with a piece of wood stretched across the surrounding steel beams. The foundation rails include an internal lip buried under the mortar screed, which ensures that the shed is anchored down by the screed. Everything you need is included except the mortar, which is not expensive and widely available from DIY stores. The easiest way to make a screed is using pre-mixed mortar. You just add water and stir before use. Alternatively, it may be cheaper to buy the sand and cement separately and mix the mortar with 1 part cement to 4 parts sand. Based on the internal area of your shed you will need around 40-50kg of mortar per square metre. The steel frame can also be used to support a timber floor with either tongued and grooved boards or man made boards such as plywood.
PRESSURE TREATED TIMBER BASE WITH FLOOR DECKING: This substantial timber floor features decking boards with a reeded surface finish. Prefabricated panels form a strong floor which is easy to install. A small gap between each deck board ensures that rainwater can drain away easily and allows for the expansion and contraction of the timber in varying weather conditions. All timber is pressure treated which ensures a longer lifespan. Unlike slabs or concrete these floor tiles are lightweight, easy to install and fully relocatable. First the ground is levelled and then the pavers are laid directly on the soil. The pavers can also be laid on concrete, paving or decking. The finished floor is a few inches larger than the shed which ensures that no part of the metal shed is in direct contact with the ground. In addition, valuable items such as lawnmowers and steel tools are stored off the ground and not in direct contact with the ground. Our timber decking floors will prolong the life of your shed and the contents. Each tile is 500mm x 500mm, with 15mm thick timber decking boards, 12mm gaps and 45x15mm joists (finished sizes after machining). Concrete hammer fixings are not suitable for use with the timber floor.
PLASTIC FLOOR KITS: Our unique plastic floor kits are an affordable alternative to slabs or concrete. Easy to install within a few minutes, the interlocking plastic floor tiles simply click together with no fixings needed. Unlike slabs or concrete these floor tiles are lightweight, easy to install and fully relocatable. The durable tiles are stronger and longer lasting than a timber floor. The finished floor is capable of supporting considerable weight because the tiles are designed to spread the weight. First the ground is levelled and then the pavers are laid directly on the soil. The pavers can also be laid on concrete, paving or decking. Each tile is impermeable and self draining with 12 separate locking points per paver to ensure maximum rigidity. The finished floor is a few inches larger than the shed which ensures that no part of the metal shed is in direct contact with the ground. In addition, valuable items such as lawnmowers and steel tools are stored off the ground and not in direct contact with the ground. Our plastic floor kits will prolong the life of your shed and the contents. A plastic floor is recommended for any metal shed supplied without a floor. If the plastic floor is placed on a solid base such as concrete, paving or bricks we recommend using hammer fixings. If it is placed on compacted soil we recommend using floor bolts.
CONCRETE HAMMER FIXINGS: We recommend hammer fixings for any metal shed which is sited on a solid base of concrete, paving or bricks to ensure that it is securely fixed down. The pack includes sufficient hammer fixings to fix the pre-drilled foundation rails into the base. The fixings are drive in hammer screws with a nylon sleeve. A masonry drill bit is also included. Drive in hammer fixings are simple to use. First the hole is drilled in the masonry and then the fixing is hammered home. If required the screw head allows easy removal with a screwdriver.
CORNER BRACKETS: We recommend corner brackets for any metal shed which is subject to frequent use or sited in an exposed area. The corner brackets do not just strengthen the corners. It is also easier to fix the shed into a solid base using the brackets. The kit includes 4 galvanized steel corner brackets. Screws are included to fix the brackets into the foundation rails. Screws and nylon plugs are also supplied for fixing into bricks, concrete or paving slabs.
FLOOR BOLTS: We recommended floor bolts for any metal shed with a plastic floor if there is no solid base of concrete, paving or bricks. This is because without a solid base the shed cannot be securely fixed down. Instead, the plastic base and the foundation rails of the shed should be bolted together. The pack includes sufficient nuts and bolts to fix the pre-drilled foundation rails into the base. The corner brackets are also a good idea when floor bolts are used, especially with larger metal sheds.
SOLAR POWERED LIGHTS: These ingenious and affordable solar powered lights are easy to install with no mains wiring and they cost nothing to run. During the day the externally mounted solar panel converts daylight into electricity and recharges the batteries. The solar panel is weatherproof and suitable for outside use. It is normally positioned high on the walls of your garden shed or on the roof. Our solar internal lights solve the problem of seeing inside your garden shed at night. Our solar security lights illuminate the approach to your garden shed at night and may also deter burglars. After dusk the passive infra red movement detector switches itself on when it detects movement. The more expensive solar lights are brighter and stay on for longer.

At the end of last summer a friend of mine was telling me about a client of his gardening business who said at one point in the price negotiations, "I hope you're not going to sell me a $50 tomato."
The reference, I learned later, was to a book called The $64 Tomato: How One Man Nearly Lost His Sanity, Spent a Fortune, and Endured an Existential Crisis in the Quest for the Perfect Garden, by William Alexander. I haven't read the book, but the reputed high costs of gardening are second only to "I'd love to garden but I haven't got the time" on the list of reasons people don't grow their own food. Another close contender near the top of the list is something that usually comes out as, "I kill whatever I try to grow."
Each of these arguments has merit, but only as symptoms of the underlying conditions in which they are made. It might take a village to raise a child, but it takes a worldview and the infrastructure it generates to validate an argument. For some time now, I've been trying to understand a world where it makes no sense to grow food.
My own reflections on the topic started one day when I bought a bunch of radishes at the supermarket. Radishes, while not exactly a staple food, are arguably one of the easier food plants to grow for most people and in fact are the first crop I was successful with as a child gardener. As an adult when I looked at the cost and the amount of pre-tax income I'd have to earn to buy the radishes, converted to time, I wondered why I would ever bother growing them. It made no sense economically: end of story. Plus, what if I do invest the time and effort, and fail? And that's where gardening stops for many, many people.
But even then, I felt there was actually more to the story. And no, I'm not going to write at length on the intrinsic value of having intimate relationships with one's food plants, a topic I've explored elsewhere. Nor is it my intent to analyze the perversity of market pricing that externalizes costs resulting from fossil fuel use, fertilizer and pesticide runoff, or the abusive working conditions of farm laborers, though this is also worthy of consideration and an important part of the picture. Instead, what I feel is most important here is the personal time and money equation that results in part through the mechanism of perverse pricing. It's on this level that people's decisions get made. This is basically how we got to a place where it makes no sense to grow food, or where growing food came to be seen as a kind of luxury activity for the privileged.
Yet the time/money equation that had me pondering my purchase of commercial radishes is changing for many people, and with it the decisions they are making. My view of the fundamental shift we have seen in the last few years here in the USA is that we are changing from a people who on aggregate had more money than time to a people who on aggregate have more time than money. When a person has disposable income but little free time, this puts a premium on convenience and speed. Here in the "developed" world, what this means is that not only do we feel there no time to grow, thresh, mill, and bake grain into bread, we often don't feel we have time to make our own sandwiches or even to get out of our cars to get them from those who make them for us.
No doubt there is an economy of scale in operation that makes the livelihood of, for example, a baker viable under fairly broad market conditions. But let's be clear about this: bread in itself is a ready-to-eat convenience food, and occupies a place along with butchered meat and apples that are grown and bagged by others on the time vs. money continuum.
I started seeing the basic economic paradigm shift – from more money than time to more time than money – during the first stage of the most recent economic downturn in 2008-09 when in many instances one or both parents in two-income families lost a job, significantly affecting the market for child day care. Among the home-based industries that have fallen prey to market forces, childcare is quite a big canary in the contemporary economic coal mine. It is a prime indicator of the personal time/money decision making process, and little wonder. Even with the increased "child care productivity" leveraged by stratified age groupings and non-biological adult-to-child ratios, when there's no money to pay for it and a parent out of work at home, the economic incentive to outsource one's childrearing with curb-service daycare simply evaporates.
There are many, many aspects of life that change as people get pushed out of the mainstream economy with its productivity treadmill, and families find themselves possessed of relatively more time and less money. One of the changes is that growing food starts making sense again, if one can find a place to do it. Effective resource stewardship is another aspect. Call me frugal, but it seems pretty wasteful to buy special bags so that yard leaves can be hauled away in the fall and then buy bagged compost trucked in from elsewhere in the spring. Left alone, the leaves will turn into compost with very little coaxing. But this presumes a couple things: time and the willingness to use it. The "$50 tomato" comes down in price very quickly when time is used to grow plants from seed, when developing friendships bring tools and know-how, when a little muscle and a lot of patience turn waste into compost, and, in general when human energy and clever management of time and resources supplant a product-centered, money-driven approach to problem solving.
Another change is, presuming that with less money one can still locate something to eat and strategize a way to stay out of the rain (I'm not suggesting one could live with no money at all), there's time for the valuable work of connecting with others and educating one's self on issues, if one has the inclination. As we've seen recently, one might just set up a tent in a park on Wall Street and start asking important questions and demanding real answers from those who work and live in the towers overhead. Yes, and I'm sure it isn't lost on those looking down at the colorful tents and personalities that there are important political dimensions to this social shift that goes by the name of unemployment. After all, to employ is to use. Unemployed, unused people can definitely find ways of making themselves useful. Unused people have time to protest, to organize, and to do all kinds of interesting things.
In day-to-day living, the shift to more time than money could mean it makes sense to turn flour into bread, cook for big groups, collectivize living and transportation arrangements, care for one's own and other people's children, share, trade, and barter for tools, skills, and basic necessities, read and play instruments rather than pay for entertainment, and talk with the neighbors.
For every one of these activities, the mainstream economy has a product or service that offers a shortcut that costs money. But if we really look at carpooling, for example, what we're seeing is people willing to give up a bit of convenience and use a little extra time to save money. Somewhere another car sits empty to the benefit of its owner, the air we breathe, and the global climate, and to the detriment of the national GDP, which is as much a measurement of waste as of wealth in a society where the two are easily confused.
The irony is, sometimes the products and services being marketed aren't even much of a shortcut. Once in the thrall of a money- and product-centered mindset, we will sometimes even endure inconvenience and lower quality to participate in the illusion that the more we pay the more it's worth, and that when money changes hands something intrinsically good is happening – the shopping culture. And, while a lot of what we buy is needless, it seems to me that even with necessities like food, it really doesn't take much more effort to, say, make a better, cheaper, and healthier sandwich at home than run out to buy one because one "deserves a break today." Granted, I sometimes gratefully take a cup of coffee from a friendly face at a cafe, but honestly, I can always brew myself a superior and cheaper cup than I can buy. The "$50 Tomato" has its counterparts in many formerly free or inexpensive but lovely things that emerge from the market as grotesque extravagances like $3.75 cups of coffee.
In the end, an important piece of my hope for the future is that productive people are productive people, and will find ways to use time to add value to their lives directly when sidelined by the mainstream economy's avenues for value creation. Spending time instead of money when money is short makes sense, and as we awaken from the idolatry of commerce I see a strong possibility that Americans will paradoxically find themselves possessed of more entrepreneurial drive than ever.

The bouncer in the new Zeus/Arc Warden comic seems to be whatever species Brewmaster's none-celestial half is.
You should really update this thread, arc warden made things interesting and it would be cool to see what you think about him.
any website where i can read free dota 2 comics?
found an interesting thing. looks like abaddon connected with juggernaut and phantom assassin somehow.
they are waiting for him at the entrance to his castle(?) when he was returning from an evening walk.

I find DoTA lore to be very interesting, but also very hard to get into. I see various videos on very specific aspects of the lore, but nothing going over the general overarching ideas beyond the stuff everyone knows (Mad moon, Radiant, Dire, etc.).
Legends say that Sun Wukong is connected to the (four?) celestial spirits, Dark Reef escapees (including Slark, who led the breakout). Once beaten up Razor in the Narrow Maze.
Le jeu est mort, vive le jeu!
Any info on what all the dark moon is?
Can someone update the original post with the minimap icons in place of the full portraits? like it was previously.
Long time no see....

Jodrell Bank faced with closure – sign 10 downing street petition online
Posted by dandare on March 11, 2008
Jodrell bank, in the North West (Cheshire, UK) is being faced with closure …..In the Times online (posted 6th march,2008) "World leading telescopes face being shut down to save £2.5m" .
It mentions "Merlin's strength comes from having seven telescope dishes, including the Lovell telescope at Jodrell Bank, linked to receive signals from space simultaneously. Because they operate in tandem up to 135 miles apart they offer unrivalled detail on distant gallaxies" (extract from article).
This is a disgrace, and i urge you to sign the 10 downing street petition (closing date september 6th,2008). see here . Last time i looked here, there were over 3000 signatures.
There is also an interesting article by the telegraph.co.uk (posted 7th march,2008) "UK astronomers to broadcast adverts to aliens".
It says "The cosmic stunt marks a small step for man, a giant leap for advertising hype and underlines the desperation of British astronomers to find new sources of funding as they struggle to cope with swingeing cuts that now threaten institutions such as Jodrell Bank, the world famous observatory in Cheshire" (extract from article).
And "Alongside the risks to these and other projects is a 25 per cent cut in the STFC research grants to universities that will see numbers of postdoctoral researchers in space science and astronomy fall to their lowest level for seven years" (extract from article).

Jodrell Bank represents an era when Britain was the world leader in Astro-Pysics, a position it has never relinquished.
GBP2.5m is a small price to pay for the prestige these facilities offer, along with the opportunities the projects generate for British universities to take part in world-class research.
Spin-offs into other related fields must make many times the cost of this project for the British Exchequer, so finance can certainly be ruled out as a justification.
What is more likely is the existence of a hidden agenda which requires the erosion of Britain's ability to maintain her position at the top of the world R&D ladder, to allowing places like India to become research hot-spots, and to satisfy the neo-political aims of the surely now long-discredited Globalisation Consortium.

Since the signing of the agreement that led to a government of "national unity," there was an expectation that this could be the start of a new era in Zimbabwe. However, the promise of real power-sharing seems to elude the new government; the old structures are tenaciously holding on to power. In spite of these obstacles, the opposition remained optimistic that it could use its smaller share of power to advocate for change in the area of freedom and reforms of the constitution. Unfortunately, they underestimated the resistance to change and in order to sustain hope, they held back from speaking candidly about issues in case they lost the little power that they have. So last week, as if sensing the futility of this facade, the opposition "flexed its muscles" and demanded that the governor of the reserve bank and attorney general resign -- two issues that the "ruling party" is not prepared to even discuss or consider. So the battle lines are drawn. Whether this newfound voice and determination will change anything is hard to foresee, but it represents a break from previous statements that glossed over the reality of the lack of change and of powerlessness. Your prayers as usual are deeply appreciated as we continue to search for a prophetic voice of hope and justice.

If you've read my review of Modern Combat: Sandstorm, then you know how much I praised the game. With gorgeous graphics, good solid controls, and an enjoyable but short storyline, Modern Combat: Sandstorm provides for an excellent FPS experience on the iDevice.
However, my only gripe with the near-perfect game was the lack of online multiplayer. Well folks, after nearly 3 months of waiting, Gameloft has finally pulled through! Local and online multiplayer has been added in this new and one heck of an update. 3 maps are currently offered, which support up to 4 players in solo or team matches. Performance on my 3GS has been surprisingly good, with minimal lag experienced. Needless to say, this is one heck of an update. One of the best FPSes on the iDevice just got better. Modern Combat: Sandstorm is highly recommended if you still haven't picked up a copy yet. Go Go Go!
Gameloft, Modern Combat: Sandstorm, $4.99, 209 MB
Update: There have been widespread reports of players encountering the dreaded UPNP error when attempting to connect to a network. Personally, I was able to "fix" this by turning Airplane mode on on my iPhone. If this doesn't work for you, try enabling/disabling your bluetooth as well. Hopefully, Gameloft will have this sorted out shortly.

Open House pick of the week: Pulewa at Mehana
If you're headed out to Kapolei this weekend, stop by the brand new sales office for D.R. Horton's latest project, Pulewa at Mehana.
Out of five styles, there are only three model homes to look at, but that's good enough for the many buyers who have already purchased homes on spec. You can choose from two- and three-bedroom townhomes, all of which are priced under $400,000. Each home offers about 1,400 square feet of living area and you can customize your unit to your liking from D.R. Horton's selection of carpet, countertops, appliances, paint, landscaping and more.
I got to see the models yesterday as the sales staff was still setting up their new office. My choice would be Plan B, the two-story, three bedroom, 2.5 bath unit. Although it's slightly smaller than Plan A, the designers have arranged the spaces to give it a bigger, roomier feeling.
The first of the homes will not be ready until the end of May, and from there, not until September. But until then, the developer will keep building in this master-planned community to bring all 128 units to market.
When you visit the sales office, ask them about the incentives, as you can get up to $10,000 in closing costs. Those who buy in May also get $2,000 in Design Center credit.
There are also affordable units for those who qualify through the City & County of Honolulu's housing program.
Happy house hunting!

In A Lonely Place
First, there's the title. Has any movie title ever sounded so vulnerable? And that the film about a man "in a lonely place" was played by America's hero, Humphrey Bogart, added undeniable pathos to the proceedings. Movie stars have always been confused with who they played in the films that made them famous, and after High Sierra and Casablanca Bogart would be forever known as the world weary tough guy with a heart of gold; the cynical romantic who does the right thing in the end who generations of men have wanted to emulate. Playing an emotionally wounded misanthrope with possibly psychotic tendencies was a risk for him, but in the words of Louise Brooks it was the closest performance to the real Bogart that he ever played. In her memoir of sorts, Lulu In Hollywood, she writes about how the Bogart she knew was an insecure actor forever on the sidelines of productions he didn't star in. When the light and magic clicked to make him a star in High Sierra he became a legend henceforth and he took to acting the part in real life. But, according to her at least, it wasn't until playing the embittered Hollywood screenwriter Dix Steele in Nicholas Ray's In A Lonely Place that the myth and the actor coalesced into something resembling his darker, more emotionally insecure self.
In A Lonely Place is ostensibly a murder mystery, but what haunts isn't really the murder or even the possibility that Bogart's character killed someone. Instead it's the way Dix's good qualities are forever doomed to be overshadowed by his alienating and self-destructing tendencies. He has good friends around him who, even in the face of a murder investigation where he is a suspect, refuse to give up on him. But his insecurities and "artistic temperament" wear those around him down to the point where he really is totally alone. There's no real lesson to In A Lonely Place. In another less complicated thriller Dix would be the villain whose downfall signals the triumph of societal values over the chaos caused by anti-social malcontents. But this is a film with no solution to the problem of Dix Steele, just a melancholic depiction of a certain type of man whose great curse is to be eternally misunderstood.Continue Reading

Andy Rooney is 92-years-old. Like many people his age, he's never heard of Lady Gaga, Usher or Justin Bieber. For some reason, this confuses and alarms him. "How come I've never heard of any of the musical groups that millions of other Americans apparently are listening to?" he asks. Then he complains that kids don't listen to Ella Fitzgerald anymore. Which is false.
Best line: "I think of myself as a musical ignoramus who doesn't hear or like the nuances of sound that other people do like."
And yet, he offers his opinion anyway.

Walking Face or Body test case Courteney Cox, who I think would really benefit from Lainey's cold laser lady, has a new boyfriend.
Well, new-ish. US Weekly has confirmed she is dating her Cougar Town co-star Brian Van Holt. I don't watch Cougar Town. It's too quippy for my liking and oh-my-god Christa Miller's face is terrifying. But the show has definitely spurred some interesting relationships. Jennifer Aniston and Josh Hopkins allegedly dated, and then Courteney went on a platonic (PEOPLE's word, not mine) vacation with him. And somewhere between then and now, Jennifer Aniston got engaged and Courteney Cox had a Friends-less 49th birthday party.
When Cox and David Arquette split in 2010, Arquette spent a fair amount of time talking to Howard Stern (on air) and said Cox and Van Holt had an emotional affair. Oh the good old emotional affair. We all have a friend or co-worker who's had one, right? You know, it starts off with coffee breaks and lunches, then flirtatious emails, and then suddenly you have a "work wife" or "work husband". And sometimes that work spouse relationship bleeds into real life ….
But if there was an emotional affair back in 2010, they sure managed to exercise enough restraint to go three years without officially dating. And I hope between then and now Courteney had some fun (even if it was with Josh Hopkins) because as she often said, she was the "mom" in the relationship with quirky David. She was the responsible one, the adult. Combine that with spending years next to a more famous (and by many accounts needy and narcisstic) friend and Courteney has earned some good down-low time.
So with Jennifer's wedding on hold, and Courteney's relationship heating up, we could see a Friends wedding soon, just not the one the people (and PEOPLE) want. Imagine if Courtney makes it to the altar before Jen? I think bridesmaid duty is out of the question at this point.

Copy of HOW TO MEASURE SIZING / SIZE CHART
We understand it can be difficult to figure out your sizing. Because each piece is unique, sizing of items vary a great deal and each item will fit very differently. Please be sure to look at the product measurements before committing to the sale. Because each piece is vintage, the sizing on the tag may not correlate to the product measurements, so do not base your selection on the size pictured in the original product tag. Here is how to measure so you ensure a perfect fit each time:
- Take your favorite fitting shirt and lay it out flat.
- Measure across from one armpit to the other on frontside – this is your pit to pit measurement. The first measurement listed on our tees.
- Take measurements from the bottom of back collar to the bottom of hem– this is your collar to hem measurement. The second measurement listed on our tees
