Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Something smells with Google Nose
Search engine joins April Fools' Day shenanigans
April Fools' Day has come a long way since toilet-papering and shave-creaming your buddy's car was the height of comedy.
Thanks in large part to the Internet, and social media in particular, pranks on April 1 are no longer intimate affairs between a small number of people. If all goes well, the rollout of mock innovations and parody makeovers go viral.
That's easy to do if you're Google. The search engine announced early Monday it was promoting a new service called Google Nose that would enable users to scan its 15 million "scenta-byte" database of smells around the world.
It also unveiled a Google Maps feature that allows people to search for pirate treasures.
Both, of course, were jokes.
Not to be outdone, Twitter announced a new plan that would enable its users to be even more efficient with the 140 characters they're allotted -- no vowels. Its consonant-only plan, called "Twttr" would be free while tweet plans with vowels would cost $5 per month.
The company tweeted, "Trd th nw Twttr yt? Mr tm fr mr twts!" (That translates to "Tried the new Twitter yet? More time for more tweets!")
On its blog, Twitter said it was offering the vowel-less plan to encourage a more efficient and "dense" form of communication.
It also addressed the ambiguity of the letter "y," saying the sometimes vowel, sometimes consonant would remain free.
Across Canada, WestJet, the Toronto Transit Commission, Lululemon, Boston Pizza and Rogers all seemingly introduced new products.
Yoga company Lululemon, for example, said it was partnering with local cow farmers who feed their animals organic grass and chia seeds to introduce "lululeather." The first product? Cowabunga yoga pants, of course.
WestJet was touting its kid-free flights, the TTC its "personal" subway car and Boston Pizza said it was banning all buns and replacing them with new uses for pizza dough, including pizzaburgers (No joke). Rogers introduced a toque that connects to smartphones and displays what wearers would see if their faces weren't covered.
York University professor Russell Belk said the comedic companies are all seeking buzz rather than a spike in sales.
Well-executed humour can go viral and attract lots of mainstream media attention, but those that miss the mark may also risk turning off their customers, he said.
Sometimes all you need is a communications department to get in on the game. The University of Winnipeg, for example, put out a press release early Monday morning touting its acquisition of the Arlington CP Rail yards and its plans to spearhead design and redevelopment of two square kilometres of land for mixed-use residential, office and recreational space.
The release said the agreement to purchase was made possible after a generous member of its alumni -- who wished to remain anonymous -- made a "historic" donation to cover the full purchase price.
The plans included dismantling the Arlington Street Bridge, which is approaching the end of its useful life anyway, and replacing it with an active transportation corridor with dedicated bus lanes, cycling paths and walkways.
Even better, the bridge's steel will be recycled to build the world's longest toboggan run on-site. The release even came with a boilerplate quote from the university's president, Llyod Axworthy, a man not known for tomfoolery.
"As a boy who grew up in the North End, I understand that the rail yards are not only a physical barrier, but represent a socio-economic divide that cannot continue if this city is to reach its full potential," he said.
Before any news organizations completely embarrassed themselves, the release ended in bold print with "April Fools' Day! (Gotcha).

Good bed spread
Nice looking, not incredibly high quality, but still quite nice. We've washed the comforter a few times, and it has retained the black color well. The shams and throws are very nice looking. Overall, a good set.

Where did the Russian meteor come from - and where's it going? Astronomers calculate orbit
Martin King
Martin King is Digital Operations Editor for the Independent
Wednesday 27 February 2013
The final path of meteor that injured about 1,000 people as it blasted to earth over the Russian city of Chelyabinsk has been plotted by astronomers.
Numerous videos of its blazing arrival were taken with CCTV, dashboard cameras and smart phones - many of them carrying the times when they were taken. These have helped a team from Colombia to reconstruct its solar orbit and even identify the family of asteroids from which it came.
Jorge Zuluaga and Ignacio Ferrin from the University of Antioquia in Medellin report: "Using evidence gathered by one camera at the Revolution Square in the city of Chelyabinsk and other videos recorded by witnesses in the close city of Korkino, we calculate the trajectory of the body in the atmosphere and use it to reconstruct the orbit in space of the meteoroid previous to the violent encounter with our planet."
They added: "Assuming that the hole in the ice sheet of Lake Cherbakul was produced by a fragment of the meteoroid is also a very important hypothesis of this work. More importantly, our conclusions relies strongly onto assume that the direction of the trajectory of the fragment responsible for the breaking of the ice sheet in the Lake, is essentially the same as the direction of the parent body"
They used times from the point when the blazing meteor cast shadows from poles at the Revolution Square of Chelyabinsk, and from the closest point of trajectory there.
"According to our estimations, the Chelyabinski meteor started to brighten up when it was between 32 and 47 km up in the atmosphere."
They used trigonometry to caalculate the path andtheir calculations suggest the meteor emanated from the Apollo asteroids, which make up the majority of near-earth space rocks discovered so far.

Danny McBride is no longer a single man.
The star of HBO's "Eastbound & Down" married his girlfriend, Gia Ruiz, on Friday, a rep for Danny told Access Hollywood.
Danny and Gia reportedly met on the set of his hit comedy, where Gia works in the art department, according to MTV News.
While Danny just walked down the aisle, the former "Land of the Lost" star may soon be heading to NBC's "The Office'" — if cast-member/writer B.J. Novak gets his way.
As previously reported on AccessHollywood.com, B.J. told the Associated Press that he's "always been a big believer" in Danny as a replacement for the soon-be-exiting series star Steve Carell, if his "Eastbound" schedule allows.
"Eastbound & Down," which stars Danny as washed-up former professional baseball pitcher Kenny Powers, recently entered its second season on HBO.

Red Sox expected to go with John Lackey in Game 2 of World Series
Oct 21, 2013, 10:08 PM EST
It came as no surprise when Red Sox manager John Farrell announced this afternoon that Jon Lester will start Game 1 of the World Series against the Cardinals on Wednesday, but there could be a change in store for Game 2.
While Clay Buchholz started Game 2 of the ALCS against the Tigers, Sean McAdam of CSNNE.com writes that "all indications are" the Red Sox will go with John Lackey for Game 2 of the Fall Classic. Lackey started Game 2 during the ALDS against the Rays, but he was pushed back to Game 3 for the ALCS.
Lackey tossed 6 2/3 scoreless innings in his ALCS start and has thrived at Fenway Park all season, so it's understandable why Farrell is considering switching things up. The Cardinals haven't made their Game 2 starter official yet either, but NLCS MVP Michael Wacha is expected to get the call.

Do you like acting as inhibited as you are at work in your own house, and having future work evaluations reflect how well you entertain as well as how well you do your job?
Then by all means invite people from the office. you would like to try at least once, I assure you will know the meaning of success….. ℬAℛ17.ⅭOⅯ

I do like the nonsensical things you say in the first sentence.
I feel they make up the essence of who I am as a person.
I feel like you want to help me improve on these things I already like about myself, but you haven't given me enough information to pursue.
- pastabelly - Oct 21, 2013 at 10:22 PM
Buccholz seems to get gassed by the 6th inning since coming back from the injury. Going to Lackey seems like the right move.
- tfbuckfutter - Oct 21, 2013 at 11:09 PM
Maybe it's just not enough consistency….but I never say "Oh, this game is in the bag" when he starts. I'm actually usually surprised by how low his ERA is.
And he's been pretty unimpressive so far in the postseason. Not to discount his long absence, but whatever the reason he's felt shaky.
- aceshigh11 - Oct 21, 2013 at 11:33 PM
Hey, why not?
Lackey has been ACES (oops) this postseason. Anyone who can go toe to toe with Verlander pitch-for-pitch and emerge victorious has ice water in his veins.
Buchholz, on the other hand, appears to have the nervous system of a chipmunk when it comes to the playoffs: constantly worried, darting eyes, looking over his shoulder, only seconds away from running away in terror.
- KR - Oct 22, 2013 at 8:36 AM
Favorite twitter comment from the other day was "Bruins just scored two goals in the time it took Buchholz to throw one pitch".
He's always been a little skittish on the mound with baserunners — I seem to remember he was always trying that fake-to-third-throw-to-first move that never works (though I also remember that he actually did catch somebody or other once) — but for these playoffs it seems like it's at another level.
- evanpenn - Oct 22, 2013 at 3:57 AM
Mr Farrell,
Please install Uehara as the starter for games 1 through 4.
Cardinals 108 up, 108 down, series over. ^____^

Accountancy is the process of communicating financial information about a business entity to relevant users. One of the vital skills here is selecting the information that is relevant to your audience and communicating financial statements clearly.
Accounting can be divided into two major fields; management accounting and financial accounting. Management accounting concentrates on reporting to people inside the business entity and provides information to employees, managers, owner-managers and auditors. Its main goal is to provide the management with a basis for making major decisions related to management and operations. Financial accounting, on the other hand, presents information to people outside the business entity such as potential shareholders, creditors (including banks or vendors), financial analysts, economists, and government agencies.
A career in accounting requires an aptitude for mathematics and the ability to analyze, compare and interpret facts and figures quickly. You must then be able to clearly communicate your results to clients and managers.

Buffalo, NY (SportsNetwork.com) - Matt Moulson and Tyler Ennis both scored in the shootout to help the Buffalo Sabres notch their first home win of the season with a 3-2 decision over the Los Angeles Kings on Tuesday.
Cody Hodgson scored a pair of goals in regulation, Moulson had two assists and Ennis added a helper for the Sabres, who have had three of their four wins this season come via the shootout. Ryan Miller made 43 saves in the win.
"I thought we were working together in the zone. These are the kind of games where teams hang around and we need to do the little things to win. We did that tonight," said Miller.
Justin Williams and Dwight King had one goal apiece for the Kings, who lost goaltender Jonathan Quick late in overtime.
Quick, who had made 15 saves, exited in the final minute of the bonus period with an apparent groin injury.
Moulson beat Ben Scrivens through the five hole, and Miller stoned a pair of Kings shooters before Ennis potted the game-winner. Ennis got Scrivens to lean to his left before cutting back over to the opposite side. Scrivens was unable to recover in time and Ennis made him pay.
Hodgson's second goal of the game, a power play marker 4:26 into the final session, put Buffalo ahead. Hodgson skated in down the right side and fired a pass across to Moulson, who quickly sent the disc to Ennis in front of the net. Ennis then dropped a pass back to Hodgson, who stuffed the puck home on the backhand.
Los Angeles tied the game with just over 3 1/2 minutes remaining. Tyler Toffoli fired a shot from the slot, but it was deflected by a Buffalo defenseman. King, though, batted the puck out of the air and into the net to forge a 2-2 deadlock.
The Sabres had a golden opportunity to win the game in regulation. On a 2-on-1 break, Steve Ott managed to draw in a defender, leaving Moulson wide open inside the left circle. Ott sent a quick pass to Moulson as he crashed to the net, but the former Islander was unable to stuff the puck home as Quick was able to poke it away and preserve the tie.
Williams' tip in 1:17 into the game opened up the scoring, and Hodgson scored at the 12:46 mark of the second to tie the game at 1-1.
"I think we just came out and didn't capitalize on our chances early, and they stayed in the game, and obviously they won," said Toffoli.
Buffalo was 1-for-2 on the power play ... Hodgson has seven goals this season
... Scrivens did not face a shot in overtime ... Mike Richards notched his
12th assist of the season.

I'82: The Thing At Hidden BaseThe Thing at Hidden BaseI have much reluctance about what I am about to say. I know that nobody will believe me and that I will be mocked and ridiculed.I expect nothing else.But I will state my experiences anyway. It may be the last barrier I can hold before I go mad. The surrounding facts are not clear anymore. I cannot remember the date when it happened, nor the exact place. Nor is it clear how long it took before they found me the way they did. All I can remember I will state now for the record. You must choose yourself wether you believe me or not. Well, no sense in putting it off any longer.It was a beautiful day. Even though my memory is as freakish as it is, I can still recall the sun shining on the hood of my '82 DeLorean. It was a good car, it had served me well during the last battle, out of which I just returned home from. I don't remember against whom I had fought, nor is it of any importance. I had won without much damage and was on my way home. I was in a hurry
The First LessonThe First LessonThe drums hastened in rhythm, their low reverberating sounds echoed in the night of the nameless valley. Birds and small critters scattered throughout the thick jungle. In the deepest centre of the forested valley, right next to the black winding river, was a speck of shimmering light. It was a fire, rising up into the sky with crackling flames. The heathen ritual was steadily climaxing as the bent figures around the fire moved with their frantic dance, casting terrifying shadows. If one had a trained eye, one could see those shadows move independently of their masters. They squirmed with an evil life of their own. As the magic was building up, more and more of these unholy symptoms forebode the coming of the summoned demon. The shadows were one, the unearthly colours of the fire were another. The two dark figures monitoring the spectacle from a distant tree branch had indeed trained eyes. Clothed in dark fabric and hulled in silence they seemed to blend in with
Interstate '76: BullseyeBullseyeThe roar of the engine, like a demon howling, was the only thing to be heard on the abandoned Interstate. A candyapple red '71 Pontiac Trans Am sped across the tarmac with it's pedal to the metal. The needle trembled just over 140 miles per hour. The sandy roadside flashed past and a lonely cactus went by in a blur. Slowly, but steadily, it gained on the creepers. It was a medium squad, two Chevrolet Camaro's, a Shelby Cobra and a Ford Bronco, ranking four cars in total. They'd been at it at Seminole, a small town about half an hour south of Lubbock. They robbed the local bank, grabbing wages of local miners. But it hadn't been enough. They had to throw a Creeper Party, driving around town, shooting up everything in sight. The driver of the Trans Am grimaced at the thought of the smoking ruins, the burning cars, the ambulance. It had lain on it's side, the medics sprawled nearby, theoir bodies riddled with bulletholes. There must have been ten to twenty dead at least.A

Light up our life
A risotto is not something you whip up for a speedy weeknight meal, rather...
For $25,000, you could buy a brand new car. Or, you could buy handmade guinea pig armour.
No, it's not made out of gold — it's steel, actually. It's all the work of Sean McCoy of Fairfax, Va., who spent over 35 hours making armor for his beloved pet guinea pig Lucky.
After Lucky's passing a few weeks ago, McCoy decided to sell the armor on eBay to raise money for the non-profit corporation the Metropolitan Guinea Pig Rescue located in Virginia. McCoy had no way of knowing bidding would escalate to a bid of nearly $25,000 (all figures U.S.).
"I was really hoping for at most $200," said McCoy.
The auction still has almost a day to go. McCoy has been on edge ever since the bidding skyrocketed.
"I'm losing sleep because it's become such a big deal and everyone's like, 'it's so great, it's so great,' but it's nothing until the person who wins the auction pays for it. My worst fear is that someone's going to back out, and I really hope that's not the case."
If this does happen and the bidder backs out, eBay can offer the armour to the next highest bidder.
He first posted the armour to eBay on June 11 for $5. Since then McCoy has had bids from all over the world, including Mexico and China.
It wasn't a smooth ride in the beginning though; McCoy had some trouble early in the auction with people creating fake accounts.
"I worked with eBay and they were really great in helping me delete the fake bids and prevent the users from coming back, and they showed me how to put restrictions in place so that bids could be made by legitimate accounts," said McCoy.
After watching YouTube tutorials and a lot of trial and error, McCoy managed to craft the tiny nine-inch armour using polished steel scales and steel rings. He described it as "man-knitting."
McCoy made the armour while watching movies on Netflix, and the materials cost an estimated $30. His motivation behind making the armor? He thought it would be cool. His cool creation is turning into a heavily sought after item.
He decided very early on that any money that was made on the armour would go towards the Metropolitan Guinea Pig rescue corporation where he adopted Lucky.
"Lucky was diagnosed with a benign stomach tumour early in his life and I had to make the choice to get expensive surgery that he might not even survive or just let him live with it and I decided that whenever he does go I'll auction his armour off and give the money to the guinea pig ladies; that's what I call them."
According to the Metropolitan Guinea Pig Rescue website, they "rescue, rehabilitate, and find new homes for guinea pigs in the DC, Maryland, and Virginia area" and are a registered non-profit corporation. McCoy says the motivation behind the fundraising effort is as a thank you to the organization for setting him up with his beloved pet.
"They are really fantastic people who worked really hard, and they do this in their spare time and any bit of funding they can get helps."

In Islamic Iran prayer sellers' trade is booming
TEHRAN (Reuters Life!) - In Islamic Iran where clerics rule, unofficial "prayer sellers," who promise to intercede with the divine to solve all manner of life's problems, are seeing their business boom.
Backstreet spiritual guides like YaAli are tolerated by the authorities and increasingly sought after by Iranians seeking help from on high.
"People from all walks of life -- mostly young women -- come here asking for prayers that can solve their problems," says YaAli sitting on a chair in a crumbly old alley in Tehran.
Stroking his white beard, YaAli -- a nickname he has been given by his customers -- explains how each prayer must be used in its own specific way.
"There are lots of methods depending on the problems. Some prayers (written on a piece of paper) should be burned and some should be put in a bowl of water. You should follow the instructions."
According to Islam, prayers have a divine source and make a spiritual connection between God and his servants. Those who have the right religious knowledge can write prayers for others to help them obtain better results.
Regular customer Mahoor says YaAli helped her shake off a stalker. "I didn't see him any more after YaAli gave me the prayers," says the 26-year-old nurse.
Mahoor and several of her friends come to YaAli believing his prayers will change their destiny and stop bad things happening to them.
"This time I want prayers that will make my boyfriend marry me. He says he doesn't have enough money to start a new life," Mahoor says of her reluctant beau.
Iran's clerics also believe in the power of prayer but they advise people against using prayers that lack a religious basis. Magic and superstition are both illegal under Islamic law.
"Writing prayers quoting Shia's immaculate Imams and receiving money for that has no legal obstacle," said Grand Ayatollah Lotfollah Safi Golpaygani when asked about the religious legitimacy of the prayer sellers.
"But referring to prayers written by hustlers without reliable sources is not permitted, and getting money for those kinds of prayers is (religiously) forbidden," he told news website hawzah.net.
Despite what Iranian clerics say, none of YaAli's customers ask him about the basis of his knowledge, which he says is founded on the Koran.
"It is not important where his knowledge comes from, I just want my problems to be solved," said Marjan, 24, who complains it is getting harder to see YaAli as customer demand increases.
"It seems people are facing more problems these days," she says with a bitter smile.
It is not difficult to find prayer writers in Iran -- a simple Internet search brings up dozens of phone numbers.
Marjan says a lack of government support for women is one reason so many turn to them.
"Despite the high prices, I know some people -- especially women -- who still refer to them as their last resort," she says. "Some women even ask for prayers to make their family life stronger."

Broadway's Pia Zadora to Premiere New Show 'Pia Reloaded' at Metropolitan Room Tomorrow
Zadora's powerful voice gained her a musical following in Europe and she enjoyed a string of hit singles around the world. She was nominated for a GRAMMY Award for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance for the song "Rock It Out" in 1984. In the late 1980s, Pia recorded and released Pia & Phil, an album of standards with the London Philharmonic Orchestra. Soon after in the early 1990s, Frank Sinatra invited Pia to tour with him as his opening act.
In June 2014, Pia was a highlight during the 50th anniversary celebration of Fiddler on the Roof at Broadway's Town Hall, where she shared memories of the once-in-a-lifetime experience that had defined and cradled her fledgling career. Recently, the accomplished singer has been showcasing a nightclub persona week-in-and-week-out in her signature cabaret room, "Pia's Place" within the famous Piero's Italian Cuisine in Las Vegas, drawing the attention of notable celebrities, entertainment professionals and other high-profile individuals.
Pia Reloaded is backed by former Sinatra pianist Vinnie Falcone and directed by Emmy, Golden Globe and Las Vegas Star of the Year-winning producer, Jeff Kutash. All costumes and gowns are designed by fashion icon, Bob Mackie.

New Grid Autosport details the Tuner discipline
Codemasters has released a new video detailing the Tuner racing discipline in their upcoming racer Grid Autosport.
The video focuses on the Drift and Time Attack and features drivers from the Lassa Tyres Drift Team who compete in the British Drift Championship.
Unlike the other disciplines which emphasise beating opponents to the finish line Tuner Drift discipline is all about shoing control and flair behind the wheels of specially tuned cars like the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X Team Orange, the Mazda RX-7 (FD3S) Drift Tune and the 1993 Nissan Daijiro Yoshihara 240SX (S13).
Grid Autosport will get the green light on the PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 on June the 24th in North America and June 27th in Europe.

Had all pool chemicals in the garage. Unfortunately the were causing all metal in there to rust. Now they are in here, safe and dry. It is pretty simple to put together, and feels sturdy.

After initial shipment and assembly (put together in matter of minutes), we noticed that a part was missing (brace for lid), and that the lid was warped and would not close properly. Overstock customer service to the rescue! Replacement lid and metal brace were sent out quickly and now the storage bin is perfect!

This storage box is the best I have come across. It has double wall construction, reinforcing metal brackets, and gas charged lid supports. For the same price as lesser models, you get a product that assembles easily, is made with quality materials by American workers.

Pros: not too expensive, reasonably sturdy, one person can set it up with only a little mechanical ability, lots of headroom Cons: sheet metal is quite thin (though comparable with anything else out there), building instructions are sometimes annoyingly vague, some parts missing, sliding doors too short and not very durable (the sliding parts are all plastic). This was my first shed. I looked at wood, plastic and painted metal but settled on vinyl coated. More expensive than painted metal but much cheaper than plastic or wood. With metal, you don't have to worry about insect infestation or warping/sun damage (for the most part). I had a concrete slab already set up from a previous shed so preparing the base for me was easy. Everything comes packed in a 300 lbs 6' X 4' box, strapped to a pallet. It's packed pretty close to the order in which you assemble it (though there are some annoying exceptions). It took me a total of 24 hrs to put the whole thing up. They say to do steps 6 to the end all at once but you can get away with 6 - 9, 10 -14, 16 - 18 at separate times ****IF THERE'S NOT TOO MUCH WIND FORECAST****. If there's going to be anything more than a 5-6 mph wind, you'll want to do the roof (11 - 16) all at once. They say don't build at all if the wind is blowing and this is especially true if you're putting it together yourself. Even a slight breeze can really complicate putting the wall panels and roof gables on. Stuff blows over or can bend. Steps 1-5 according to the instructions, are prep work and can be done before starting to erect the building. I would add to that the portion of step 11 where you assemble the roof gables and the door assembly part of step 17. Knock all of that out before you begin to erect the shed and it will save you time. If you're doing it by yourself, you'll need a pair of vice-grips or something similar for the bolts. Sometimes you can hold the nut and tighten the bolt with two hands but a lot of the time you can't reach both. Speaking of which, when attaching the wall or roof panels, use the minimum number of screws to attach the panel to the frame (like one if you can get away with it). Then secure all of the bolts. The reason for this is that the nuts for many of the bolts are between the cross braces and the panels and are a HUGE pain to get to if the panel is securely fastened to the braces. If you have help, it's not so bad but by yourself, you'll have to resort to taping bolts through the holes and then using fingertips to try and get the nut on. They also suggest using an electric screwdriver to save time. I tried and wasn't too happy with it. Even with the clutch dialed all the way back, it regularly stripped the holes. Not only that but it had a tendency to skip out of the screw head and scratch the vinyl coating. I would recommend a decent ratcheting screwdriver. Yes, your hands and forearms get sore but it's only a few turns to seat the screws and bolts and much easier to handle. Another note, though the matching holes are reasonably forgiving, you really need to make sure the building base is square. The method they suggest of measuring the diagonals worked fine for me. If they are within a half inch you should be good to go. That being said there are still a few places where you're attaching 4 pieces together and getting all the holes to align is agony. The worst for me was the final panels of the roof. You have to attach two panels and two pieces of roof trim to the cross braces. I finally used a nail to angle through and get the holes to reasonably align. Finally, for sealing, they supply what looked to me like plain old duct tape. At least, I hope that's what it was because they didn't give me enough and I finished it with duct tape. Not too sure how well that's going to hold up, time will tell. I'm also going to seal the base to the concrete with Lexal before anchoring it. Overall, I'm pretty happy with the result. It's a good looking building and seems as sturdy as anything built out of 1/16" sheet metal can be. There's a ton of room inside (at least for me) and the extra headroom is nice too. Their quality control leaves something to be desired. I had extra braces but too few washers and acorn nuts. You can email them and they'll send replacements but I'll probably go to the hardware store instead. As for longevity, only time will tell

This storage box looks good and in fact, stores my items. However it was way too complicated to assemble.I actually had to call the company because none of my screws round screws were fitting in the oval holes. Turns out the screws are supposed to cut through the metal as you insert them. This was difficult to do with hand tools and totally unnecessary - just make the holes circle! Additionally half of the screw holes weren't predrilled so again overly difficult to assemble. I have a similar but larger deck box made by *** and It snapped together, no tools required, and looks and works great. Worth noting, the measurements listed are the outside measurements, not the dimensions of the inside of the box.

My parents sold their house of 38 years and moved to an apt. With a limited space in the apt, the efficient use of the available space became the key difference between a livable space and chaos. Luckily, the apt had a large balcony. I decided that an outdoor storage box would be the solution to put away some of their non-essential stuff. I bought this storage box based on the company name and the positive reviews stating that the assembly was easy. It wasn't. In fact, it was one of the most difficult product I had ever assembled ... and I LOVED to assemble stuff! The difficulty came from the fact that some of the parts did not have predrilled holes (i.e. on the top where you attach a metal piece). The others came from the difficulty in fitting the screws in tight corners. Nevertheless, after a couple of sweaty hours, it was all worth it. The storage box was sturdy, large and very, VERY, roomy! The top fits perfectly into the bottom with a lid that doesn�t slam shut. The end result was worth all the effort and frustration!

Benches also add style to bedrooms and living rooms, and storage benches give you a place to store items while keeping them easily accessible.
A properly outfitted and decorated garden and patio makes a home feel like it has a bonus room or two.

Add some seating and accents for a quick patio and garden decor makeover, or invest more time and money in a full patio redesign.

We ordered one, then TWO more. They are just as presented, and also sturdy, straight-forward and presentable. The lid overlaps the box for water deflection (we have noticed none inside), the base raises contents slightly above ground level. There is accommodation in the handle for your own padlock. An adult can sit in the middle, but I like it well enough that I won't be over-encouraging that!

Just what I needed. Very roomy so holds so much. I made a bottom layer and top layer by using heavy cardboard in between. This holds absolutely everything I need for my gardening and pool choses except the large yard equipment, of course.

cubby was basically falling apart out of the box never got to the assembly part because random sticks of wood were falling off when they were supposed to be nailed but even the instructions were vague and i could not make them up when i took a look don't bother buying this low quality item
