Hi all, I'm new around here. I have been lurking for quite a while though. I now have the perfect opportunity to get rid of stuff. We are getting new carpet installed next week and I have to get all of the "little stuff" out of the bedrooms before the installers come.
Oh... my... goodness. I have so much JUNK. There is no way I want all of that stuff to go back in the rooms, stuffed in the closets and under the beds as it has been. So please, I need tips. How can I whittle this stuff down? I have ten big boxes filled already! |
Follow-Up Postings:
You need .... more boxes, but specifically labelled (empty some of the old ones and use them). One should be called Trash, another For garage Sale, a third For Goodwill box, a fourth To Keep. Of the To Keep ones, sort a second time and decide if you really need the things, i.e. have you worn them in the last year? Have they ever fit properly? Are you 'saving' cheap little bits of things for that rainy day (when you'll never find them anyhow) and you'll just end up buying new anyway (this one's my downfall!)? Once you've sorted everything, make good on your decisions and get the sale done, go to Goodwill, throw out or recycle what's trash, etc. Then decide which room(s) would be the best place to put (back) things into that aren't clothes, and get some matching baskets to go on your new shelving unit that you're going to buy with all the money you made at the sale :-)! Label the baskets if necessary and stick to your commitment to put things away when finished with them. |
Just decide now that NOTHING gets returned to the room unless you have a need for it and a proper storage place. |
Or you could; When you need to use something, retrieve it from the box, use it, and then find a place for it in the room. After six months anything left in the box gets donated. |
For those things you want to store and keep buy clear storage bins so you can see what is in them, and sort by type if possible (Christmas, Halloween, photographs, momentos, etc.). |
- Posted by talley_sue_nyc (My Page) on Mon, Dec 3, 07 at 9:34
I think everybody's covered most of the tactics. I just want to chime in and encourage you to just toss stuff. So much of the stuff I find I have in my home is stuff someone else gave me, or I used it once and don't anymore but it feels vaguely useful. If you feel at ALL vague about it, get it out! Remember that you really are, compared with the rest of the world, pretty rich (hey, you can afford new carpet--many people can't afford FOOD!). And so, if you really decided you needed something later, you could afford to buy it all over again. Or if you wanted something (let's say you tossed a pair of black pants, then decided you needed a pair of black pants) all over again, wouldn't you be able to (and maybe even enjoy) going out to buy a new pair? (the one exception I'd make in my own life would be pants, as long as they actually FIT, because I find that pants are the thing for which fashion styles change them so much I can't stand to wear them) Also, every time you look at the empty closet, or thing about having elbow room in there, WALLOW IN THAT FEELING A LITTLE. Build up the "reward" by reinforcing that reaction. Best of luck--be tough, be fierce, be an advocate for the elbow room and breathing space in your life! |
Thank you, thank you! I am liking the idea of leaving things in the box for 6 months, or maybe 3. I am DEFINITELY enjoying the empty bedrooms! |
I agree with talley sue, donate everything you don't have a clear present need for, even knowing that someday down the road you'll need one of the things you donated. Here's why: the only way to be sure you'll still have that one thing down the road is to keep all 500, and that's too big a price to pay. The peace of mind and breathing room now is absolutely worth the price of another (whatever) a year from now. As long as the thing you donated wasn't Grandma's silver! :) LauraG |
One more thing: at the end of each day's decluttering, get those boxes out of there! They can go directly to the thrift store (my preference) or just collect in the car till you have a big load. Getting them out will allow you to enjoy the results of your work now, and motivate you to keep at it! LauraG |

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Cabinet/Alliance - With a reshuffle taking place just a few days ago, it
seems unlikely that another radical shuffle will occur in Jan. We will
continue to be monitoring any alliance building efforts between Humala and
other political parties, whoever they may be.
Protests - As of midnight local time, the state of emergency in Cajamarca
will be repealed and the Govt of Cajamarca will regain access to its
blocked bank accounts. A govt commission is expected to travel to
Cajamarca Dec 19 to restart talks with local leaders and community
Obviously there are more protests in the country than just Cajamarca, so
its possible for another flair up. It's a bit difficult to decide exactly
which group will take up strong demonstrations and when. However, some
areas/projects that have been highlighted to have potential for
significant social unrest include: Quellaveco (Moquegua), Toquepala
(Tacna), Majes Sihuas II (Cusco-Arequipa) y Inambari hydroelectric
(Cusco-Puno-Mardre de Dios)
Political events
Jan 22 - The regulations for the Prior Indigenous Consent law are
scheduled to be released either this day or sometime within this week (2
different articles). After they created the law, the Govt established a
multi-sector commission to discuss with the govt, indigenous groups,
companies, NGO's the regulations for the law. This deadline reflect an
extension that was previously requested; I supposed it's possible to ask
for another one, but I've so far only things reflecting this date. I have
the impression that these regulations, among other things, will include
listing the groups that need to be consulted for projects. Again the law
states these groups must be consulted, but the Govt doesn't necessarily
have to do what they say.

Sedalia, MO – The agriculture director for Afghanistan's Nangarhar Province paid a visit today to the Missouri State Fair in Sedalia.
Safi Muhammad Hussein toured the fair exhibits with Missouri U.S. Senator Kit Bond and State Agriculture Director Jon Hagler.
Part of the reason behind Safi's visit was to thank the Missouri National Guard for its assistance in helping improve agricultural conditions in the Nangarhar Province.
"Legal farming in Afghanistan, which is right now in Nangarhar Province...growing the poppy is zero...we don't have any right now," Safi said through an interpreter.
At one time, Nangarhar Province was the second-highest poppy-producing region in Afghanistan.
In its place, the Missouri National Guard's Agricultural Development Teams (ADT's) have set up canning plants for fruits and vegetables, and have also provided wheat seed for Afghan farmers.

Impeach Obama
We the undersigned believe that President Obama has willfully failed to uphold his duty as President of the United States of America and as such, it is in this country's best interest to demand he be impeached. By undermining the Constitution, failing to protect the people of this country, and consistently defying the will of the American public, we believe his behavior amounts to dereliction of duty. He has failed to " ...preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States." Whether this is due to his inexperience, ignorance, or is a conscious effort to undermine the foundation of this great country, is immaterial. His removal from office should be as swift as possible to prevent further harm to the American public.

BOX 6-5 Language Arts:You come down solidly advocating that educators need to teach children rather than to teach a curriculum. And you have also stated that the wars between whole language advocates and phonics advocates "are based more on educator identities than on children's needs." Would you talk about that a bit? Lisa Delpit:I continue to be astounded that folks seem to put themselves into a political and ideological camp and indicate, "I'm going to stay in this camp come hell or high water." I view teaching a little differently. I don't place myself as a teacher in a camp. I see myself as responder to the needs of children. Some children will need to learn explicitly certain strategies or conventions: some children will not need that because they've gotten it through the discourse that they learned in their homes. In California I saw a black child who was in a class where the kids were supposed to read a piece of literature and then respond to it. The child clearly couldn't read the selection. When asked about the situation, the teacher said, "Oh, he can't read it, but he'll get it in the discussion." Perhaps it's good that he will be able to get it in the discussion, but at the same time nobody is spending time teaching him what he also needs to learnhow to read for himself. So, we can lose track of the fact that children may need different kinds of instruction, depending on their knowledge and background. Sometimes we have the best intentions but actually end up holding beliefs that result in lower expectations for certain students. We are content that the students are just becoming fluent in writing, so we don't push them to edit their pieces into final products that can be published. We don't do the kind of pushing necessary to get students to achieve at the level that they might be capable of.

Graphics of Honor: Boredomfighter
Medal of Honor: Warfighter is one of these generic experiences you're seeing a lot of recently. Battlefield 3, which at least had some awesome graphics, thanks to being the first Frostbite 2 engine game, Call of Duty, which is graphically bad since they refuse to introduce a new engine and rely on their old, overused one, or Medal of Honor. So what does Medal of Honor do differently than Battlefield, what excuse do you have to even buy a title like that nowadays?
Well, it doesn't do anything dramatically different, except carrying a ridiculous name, which is only topped by Crytek's Warface. It looks a lot like Battlefield, it plays a lot like Battlefield, its story is as forgettable and boring as Battlefields. You shoot different guns, you shoot different people, but it all feels the same. The one thing that I remember being different is that you can request ammunition from your squadmates. That's helpful. One point for MoH. But I think that, if the only thing that I truly remember after finishing the campaign of the game was a detail that small, something isn't right with the game. I shouldn't have to focus on something that small to find a positive point in the game. I should be amazed by how fun an experience it was.
The thing is, it isn't. It's a really, really generic experience. And that's what I don't like in general about the games coming out right now: They're all the same. There is no difference in playing MoH Warfighter, or Call of Duty, Lost Planet, Battlefield, even Dead Space or Resident Evil. Current developers are only looking for the quick swoop of cash, most money out of the least work. And MoH Warfighter shows that in it's name already. They couldn't even be bothered to think of a proper name.
In MoH Warfighter, you play as a multitude of soldiers, like in CoD, and you fight terrorism. The mission design is linear, the guns sound differently but feel the same, and it is a generally easy game (playing on normal). Other than Battlefield, this game is a lot darker and wetter, you often play in the rain. The story goes kinda along the lines of Battlefield 3, cutting between the past and the present, as you remember past missions in your fight against terrorism. But it as forgettable, linear, unexciting and generally dull and boring, as it can get. You have no desire to even remember the names of the characters, as you won't ever want to remember them after the short playtime of 8 hours anyway.
At least there is some difference in what you are doing in the missions, as in one you are driving a car, chasing some bad dude, but the driving is really bad, and you are reminded every second of it that you're not playing Need for Speed. Also, you drive over a market twice, and they use the animation of chickens jumping on your car multiple times. It wasn't good the first time around, and it only gets worse on every repetition. Then more shooting dudes, then a mission where you're driving a boat on a time limit, which feels exactly like the car mission. Mixed in are some sniper missions, which are even easier to do than the rest of the game, and some CGI cutscenes, which are good-looking.
Final thoughts:
Should you play the game: No. Why? Cause it's a dull and boring experience, and half the time it feels like it's imitating other games (which you might have guessed by me mentioning Battlefield a bunch of times, sorry abut that), but in a really bad way. It looks nice, it sounds nice, all thanks to Frostbite, but it's a boring game. It's not a bad game, it's generally well-produced, but I experienced some sound and graphic hiccups.
Off-Topic final thoughts:
In the current state of the market, I feel bad about shelling out any money for a game like this. I don't want them to make more of this kind, I don't want to play them anymore. It all feels the same. 6 hours of a dull campaign, a multiplayer which is meant to save the game, but doesn't really differ from the one you'e playing right now, graphics that are meant to impress, but fail to shine after the third title put out on the same engine. My dislike for Activision and EA put aside, I really want them to make more money, but only if the products are worth it. I want them to be popular, I want to like them, but I just can't if they give me reason after reason not to. Be it Day-One-DLC, generic games or general company behavior. I love games, I love the old CoDs, I even liked Battlefield 3 for its graphics or Medal of Honor 2010 for its gameplay. But I can't like them anymore, if they are reheated and served to me for what feels like the 1000th time. So I look into the future, at titles like Bioshock Infinite or Half-Life 3, at consoles like the Playstation 4 and companies like Valve, and hope that they help bring the fun back into shooters. It has been missing for such a long time.

I have only been to Ice Station Cool once, when I was in Disney December of 2004. When I was there again from July 3-10 2005, Ice Station Cool was closed.

Nakhon Pathom, Thailand, April 25, 2014 – Hisamitsu Springs have taken the Asian Women's Club Volleyball Championship title after stunning four-time champions Bohai Bank Tianjin in a hard-fought three set thriller in the final showdown on Friday.
Hisamitsu of Japan, the only team not to have lost a set heading into Friday's final, survived a sturdy challenge from Tianjin to overcome the Chinese powerhouses 3-0 (25-19, 25-16, 25-19) in a clash of the Titans.
This the second time that the Japanese team have won the Asian Club crown. In 2001, they finished runners-up, but emerged as the Asian Club champions the following year. With their victory on Friday, Hisamitsu ended Japan's 12-year gold-medal drought.
With this victory, Hisamitsu have captured the prestigious HRH Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn trophy and a berth to the six-team FIVB Club World Club Championship in Zurich, Switzerland from May 7 to 11.
Against Tianjin, which last clinched the title in 2012 in Nakhon Ratchasima, Thailand, Hisamitsu fielded a formidable line-up comprising five of Japan's national team spikers Miyu Nagaoka, Risa Shinnabe, Nana Iwasaka, Yuki Ishii and Maiko Kano.
Iwasaka's scintillating blockings and Nagaoka's sharp spikes initially helped put Hisamitsu in front 20-15 in the first set. Tianjin, powered by hard-attacking Yin Na and Chen Liyi, bounced back mightily, but the Japanese played an impenetrable defence, making it difficult for their rivals to score. Hisamitsu clinched the thrilling set 25-19.
The second set saw the well-established Hisamitsu continue their remarkable performance with excellent teamwork to take the set 25-16.
Conceding a 2-0 deficit, Tianjin tried to pull themselves together. With Yin Na's spikes and Wei Qiuyue and Zhang Xiaoting combining well for solid blocks, the Chinese captured the pole position 10-7. Nevertheless, Hisamitsu found their rhythm later on, fighting back gallantly with mighty attacks and well-placed jump serves. Hisamitsu captured the set 25-19 and the championship.
After the match, the Japanese team ran around and danced cheerfully, many of them in tears. "I'm very happy that my team won the title finally. It was a tough match as Tianjin was very strong. Winning the first two sets, Tianjin came back much stronger. Fortunately, we played well to beat them," said a tearful Hisamitsu's head coach Kumi Nakada.
"Hisamitsu won the Asian Club for the first time in 2002, but this is the first time that a new Hisamitsu has taken the title. That's why I'm very, very happy. The Club World Championship will be a very tough tournament, but we will try our best. We will train much harder in preparation for the World Club meet," she added.
Zhetyssu use their height and power to outclass Taipei in straight sets to finish third
Kazakhstan's Zhetyssu, strengthened by the 195cm-tall Alena Omelchenko and powerful hitter Tatyana Pyurova, took the height advantage over the smaller-built Taipei to take the first set comfortably 25-15.
The second set was more thrilling as Taipei played with guts and determination, turning the match into a see-saw contest. At 24-24, Zhetyssu scored two successive points from Alena Omelchenko's devastating spikes to claim the hard-fought set 26-24.
In the third set, Taipei relied on their defence, while Zhetyssu continued their mighty attacks. Taking a commanding 24-19 lead and with only one point to win the set and the match, Zhetyssu produced an unforced blocking mistake, allowing their rivals to narrow the gap 20-24. However, during an exciting rally, Olga Karpova produced a beautiful mid-court drop to eventually end Taipei's challenge.
Hosts Nakhonratchasima finish in fifth place after a come-from-behind 3-2 victory over Lienvietpostbank
Nakhonratchasima fielded a strong line-up of players in the rematch against old foes Vietnam's Thong Tin Lienvietpostbank, the team they had lost 2-3 in the group round-robin preliminaries. The team comprised four of Thailand's current national team players Thaphaphaiphan Chaisri, Thatdao Nuekjang, Pornpun Guedpard and Ajcharaporn Kongyot.
The host side, though cheered on by a large crowd at the competition venue, started dismally, with their front-row attackers failing to penetrate the Vietnamese defence led by Bui Thi Nga and Nguyen Linh Chi. The visitors took the first set 25-21.
Nakhonratchasima came back stronger in the following sets, thanks to Thatdao's fast spikes and Ajchaporn's powerful cross-court attacks. However, Lienvietpostbank found their form, with Do Thi Minh hitting aggressively at the wing. The Thais gathered their courage to storm back heavily to win 25-18, 25-20 in the second and third sets.
Holding a 2-1 advantage, Nakhonratchasima still took command in the fourth set to lead 11-8 initially. The Vietnamese clawed their way back to catch up with their hosts 14-14 and went on their attack to win the set 25-19.
Nakhonratchasima struggled in the decider with the visitors hot on their heels before closing the margin 11-11. However, the Thais' fighting spirit paid off when Nakhonratchasima claimed the set 15-11, the match and the fifth place.
Matin Varamin wedge out PLDT in dramatic four sets to finish seventh
Iran's Matin Varamin, powered by hard-attacking Maedeh Borhanie, showed improved teamwork and form. The opening set was tough as both sides took turns attacking from the beginning. PLDT of the Philippines, led by former Cuba star spiker Regla Maritza Bell Mackenzie and the 197cm-tall Santiago Alyja Daphne, mounted a strong challenge against the well-organised rivals. However, Matin Varamin proved that their 3-2 victory over Vietnam's Lienvietpostbank was no fluke. The Iranians took the hard-fought first set 25-22.
With their confidence boosted after the set win, Matin Varamin continued their winning streak to take the second set 25-16. PLDT staged a successful comeback in the third set, which they won 25-18. Matin Varamin continued to perform well in the fourth set taking the set 25-20, the match and the seventh position.
Somporn Chaibangyang, president of the Thailand Volleyball Association, presided over the awards presentation and the closing ceremony.

Jennifer Aniston Has Puppy Love Moment Sans Justin Theroux (PHOTOS)
Jennifer Aniston was spotted solo Monday morning as she headed to Good Morning America to promote the Lifetime movieFive.
After her appearance on Good Morning America, Jennifer stopped to pet and snap a quick photo of an adorable Dachshund puppy. So cute!
The actress directed one of the five shorts, making it her directorial debut. She said of the project earlier this year:
"Our hope with Project Five is to entertain, inform and inspire dialogue, research and prevention. Otherwise, our goals are small. We want these films to move people and empower those affected by breast cancer to stand tall through this challenge, which impacts ALL of our lives, no matter who we are."Meanwhile, Jen's ex Brad Pitt's movie Moneyball didn't win at the box office as expected. The film was beat out by the likes of Lion King in 3D which grossed $22.1 million, while Moneyball only pulled in $20.6 million.
Jen's appearance heading into GMA is one of the few we've seen without her new beau Justin Theroux by her side. The two were out and about in NYC all last week.

Members of hacker group, Anonymous has reportedly hacked into the website of India's telecoms operator Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL).
Hacker group is demanding the withdrawal of a controversial legislation that they believe compromises freedom of speech and expression. Anonymous India announced on micro blogging site, Twitter that it has hacked into the website of the state0run telecom operator and ahs leaked details including passwords and database on Pastebin.
"Anonymous India demands the withdrawal of Section 66A of the IT Act," the post added. The group also said that it supported Indian activists Aseem Trivedi and Alok Dixit, who have gone on a hunger strike to express their opposition to the Section 66A of the country's IT Act.
The section of the legislation has been criticized by many after government announced that officers of the deputy commissioner rank of police or higher can register cases of offensive posts on Facebook. This has sparked fears that the section might be misused to penalize freedom of expression and speech in the country.
The official website of the company was not accessible at the time of reporting today. R K Upadhyay, the telco's chairman and managing director confirmed claims that the site has been hacked and said that the company is working to restore the website.

Warner Music Group and Universal Music are both excited about Apple's planned streaming service, but Sony Music is apparently hung up on how much it gets paid for songs that are skipped.

The Politics of Corporate Taxes & Apple's Cash Hoard

Here is a link that might be useful: Scrappy Trips Around the World
Follow-Up Postings:
Fun quilt, Sharon. I'm like you; I haven't tried a true scrappy quilt yet either. One of these days... I keep collecting websites and photos, and some day I'll give it a try. I'm just way too structured. I just think that things will always come out better if I'm controlling them. |
- Posted by littlehelen (My Page) on Fri, May 31, 13 at 12:02
I really like this many trips around the world...looks great. I've done two or maybe three now, standard trips around the world and while making the trip end up ripping and resewing to get the overall effect on the top. After doing my last one, I said to self-never again...and now you present me with an alternative that is really nice. Controlled scrappy works with this design, anything too scrappy and the effect would be lost. Very nice! V. |
I love it!! The 'many trips' pattern is a good one. Like V, I have made a few standard 'trip' quilts but never did one like this. I like totally scrappy quilts, but I think this pattern looks better as a controlled scrappy. TFS. ~Geraldine |
They will love it, very patriotic! The only way I can do random scrappy is if the blocks are offset by a similar color through out the pattern. It's not totally scrappy then is it lol!!! Rosa |
Very nice, Sharon! I like that design, too...yet another use for square scraps! Something to do after my postage stamp is done. LOL Donna |
Amazingly nice! Love it. I didn't know we had troops in Haiti. Are they still trying to rebuild after the disaster? I'm an army brat......my father saw three wars and I still have a hard time wrapping my mind around mothers being deployed for anything but short stints. It's hard enough when it happens to fathers. |

This is the prettiest Many Trips I have seen -- because of the controlled colorway you chose. Very nice & sweet gift to help her little guys while she is gone. Bonnie Hunter is able to archive her QuiltCam episodes now - You Tube. I am trying to watch them as I get a chance -- I learn some little trick every time I watch her. I recommend it whenever you have a few minutes. She is making me *think* more about scrappy. I am still working on the string blocks from a workshop I took from her last year. I don't have the huge amt of scraps she does (and many of You - You know who you are! :~). A Big Thanks to this young Mother and her Family for all they are sacrificing for us! Sharon ~ you are special for making this! I especially like the red & white checkerboard. |
- Posted by geezerfolks (My Page) on Fri, May 31, 13 at 17:31
Thanks, everyone. It was fun to watch the design come together and so easy to do. I think keeping the colors in the same order when sewing the strips together is helpful to make it look better. Marsha, Bonnie liked the red and white checkerboard, too. :-) Calliope, There are a few military personnel in Haiti from various countries. I think Abbi said there were 9 from the U.S. and they are stationed at the Embassy compound and is for goodwill. She plans to visit every orphanage/school that she can while there. Someone has already sponsored getting 50 indestructible basketballs delivered to her and the first set is on the way to her. Donna, I didn't start with squares but with six 2 1/2" X 18" (FQ) strips which ended up as a 12 1/2" unfinished block. Four across, five down. But, you can use squares if you want to. *grin* SharonG/FL |
Not sure I can think of it as scrappy but like it a LOT! I too have done a few trips around the world but like this pattern better and the checkerboards are perfect addition. I think I will keep them in mind for a project I have in the works. Your friend will be thrilled. Good job as always. TFS |

What a pretty quilt! But it looks more like an Irish Chain to me. It's a great quilt no matter what you call it! |
Gotta say...I think I like yours better than the samples in your link. Guess I'm a bit of a control freak too. Nice work and how wonderful for her children. |
- Posted by geezerfolks (My Page) on Sat, Jun 1, 13 at 0:42
Jayne, I'm getting a different idea of what scrappy really is. It doesn't always mean many fabrics with no rhyme or reason.....which would be Scrappy Chaos. Scrappy now means (at least to me) I'm using bits and pieces that were leftovers from another project.....but I do prefer Controlled Scrappy. I can do a Crumby Chaos block, but I sure do not like the appearance of a full quilt of them. I have to put an Hourglass or some other block in between them. Anita, I've put a link to an Irish Chain so you can see the difference. There's a lot of blank area in the Irish Chains that are ideal to showcase quilting. Thank you, LindaB. I think when you get right down to it, we all want a say in how we put our quilts together and what color/fabric goes where. :-) SharonG/FL |
Here is a link that might be useful: Single Irish Chain
What a lovely quilt Sharon. Nice pattern and great graphic look. I also love the red, white and blue. ANd thanks for the link. I keep forgetting to check her site. |
Love it and can't wait to get my hands on that one. beverly |
- Posted by anitastitch (My Page) on Tue, Jun 4, 13 at 22:02
Sorry--I still see an Irish chain there--not all are single chains as sample shown, but either way--I like it! |
- Posted by quiltingfox (My Page) on Wed, Jun 5, 13 at 13:09
I like controlled scrappy. I think it looks great! Congrats on getting the top finished. Best to you, |

The Vijayawada Municipal Corporation has increased the number of sanitary divisions in the city from the existing 34 to 49. Of these, 44 divisions will be regular sanitary divisions, three night sanitation divisions and two will be silt divisions.
Official sources said on Monday that the Corporation promoted a few 'maestris' as sanitary inspectors as there is already a shortage of about eight sanitary inspectors for the existing sanitary divisions. The move is likely to have an impact on the strength of the maestris. At present, there is a shortage of at least two maestris in each of the existing 34 divisions. The Corporation requires a minimum of four maestris for every division to monitor the sanitation works. The decision would have a cascading affect on the field staff as well, because some of them would have to be either promoted or made in-charge maestris, sources said.
The vacancies of field staff that arose due to retirement of workers have not been filled so far. At least 100 workers would have retired, but the vacancies have not been filled. While there is a requirement of about 100 workers in each division depending upon the jurisdiction, there are 70 to 100 workers in each division now. The officials fear that the proposal would badly hit the sanitation in the city as the existing staff "would be adjusted" for the newly formed sanitary divisions as well. The new appointments and allocation of divisions have resulted in displeasure among the staff. The existing sanitary inspectors approached Municipal Commissioner G. Ravi Babu saying injustice was meted out to them in allocating the divisions. They felt that newly appointed sanitary inspectors were given prime divisions or bigger divisions.

Delicious and easy. I don't like to cook the fabulous, delicate summer fruit we get so this appealed to me. It tastes fresh and lively, and it's a snap to make. The wontons add a wonderful crispness.
I think I made a similar one- but they are both great. WARNING- you will be asked to make this one again and again.. powdered sugar and a little choc drizzle make it so decadent!
Delicious, if a little intense. Men love it. It can get a little too sweet so I pull back on the sugar. Compote alone with less- sweet whipped cream or on angel food is great.
made the compote only... added more sugar and used chambord... have had better but this is ok.
I totally agree...this was so different and delicious. I did (for the sake of time and expense) use a package of frozen mixed berries, defrosted and drained. Then I did the "wine thing" and used Chambord. The wontons I fried and then sprinkled with cinnamon sugar. Made a great addition.....this is a neat recipe for company

Arizona lakes do not have a lot of cover, so our bass are structure-oriented. Knowing what structure is and understanding how bass relate to it will improve your ability to find and catch them.
Structure is an area where there is a change in the contour of the bottom. It can be a point, a submerged hump, a channel edge or other similar contour change. Many times, the word structure is incorrectly used interchangeably with the word cover. Cover is an object found on structure to which bass are attracted, such as a rock pile or submerged brush. Cover on structure, such as a rock pile on a point, can make a great fishing spot.
Structure often concentrates bass by compressing baitfish schools, providing an ambush area, or being close to deep water. For these reasons, bass seldom stray far from structure. Learning how bass relate to structure and being able to find structure will increase your ability to catch bass. Sometimes, fishing structure can move you away from shorelines to water that may seem devoid of fish on the surface, but what lies underneath can be a fishing hot spot.
Finding structure can put you on fish, but there is no guarantee that you can catch them. Structure can be a feeding area, but if there is no food available, it likely will not hold fish. Weather conditions and seasonal patterns are also important parts of the larger equation of finding fish.
Food and environmental factors impact the mood of bass and how they relate to structure. A common misconception is that if bass are not directly on top of structure, they are not there or are not relating to it. Generally, bass "on" structure are usually aggressive, while bass suspended "off" structure are less aggressive or in a neutral mood, resting between feeding. Bass "off" of structure are still relating to it and catchable and may be keying on nearby baitfish, so you should fish both the actual structure as well as the surrounding area.
Once you have found structure you think will hold fish, take your time and fish it thoroughly. Use a combination of lures that will cover a variety of depths. Many anglers work large structure too fast, and if a big bass is relating to a certain special area on the structure — that "spot on a spot" — you might fish right pass that trophy of a lifetime.
The Desert Flycasters will meet at 7 p.m. today at the American Legion Post No. 2, 2125 S. Industrial Park Ave. in Tempe. They will be reviewing a variety of fly-fishing gear. Join them for dinner at 6 p.m. for only $8. For more information call (480) 654-6111.

Hunting needs to be part of the toolbox for managing grizzly bears when they no longer have endangered species protection, but no one's close to saying what that tool might look like.
Members of the Interagency Grizzly Bear Committee voted Tuesday to draft a policy statement on grizzly hunting during their winter meeting in Missoula this week.
However, they took pains to add that the bears must be recovered before they can be treated like elk and deer.
"We need to alert the public we're aware of all the different aspects of bear management," said committee member Gregg Losinski of Idaho Department of Fish and Game. "But we can't wait. We've been thinking about this for over a decade."
The statement wouldn't authorize grizzly bear hunting or dictate how a hunting season might take place. Rather, it would lay the groundwork for states to develop their own bear management plans when and if the bears lose federal protection.
"This topic came about because two ecosystem populations are at or approaching recovery status," said committee Chairman Harv Fosgren of the U.S. Forest Service.
"We need to explore what that means and how we're going to talk about that."
About 1,000 grizzlies live in the Northern Continental Divide Ecosystem north of Interstate 90 in Montana. Another 600 live in the Yellowstone Ecosystem surrounding Yellowstone National Park. A few more tiny populations live in northwest Montana, Idaho and Washington.
Hailee Newman of the Buffalo Field Campaign argued the effort was premature because the bears' recovery was still hypothetical.
"Before they're even delisted, we're talking about keeping their numbers down," Newman said. "Why are we brainstorming about ways to keep grizzlies from walking where they once walked?"
Livestock owners in the audience said they were pleased to hear the discussion because it meant that their concerns about bears killing cattle or threatening rural communities were getting attention.
The committee agreed to produce a draft statement as well as some talking points explaining the policy by Thursday.

It is sad to live and work in a country where non-citizens are not accountable to the law. It can even be said that there exists in America two systems of justice – one for American citizens who obey the law and another for illegal aliens, euphemistically known as "undocumented immigrants," who are above the law.
This, lamentably, is largely because of the reluctance of federal and law enforcement officials to actually enforce the law. Comprehensive immigration reform is designed to give amnesty to illegal aliens.
The country has created an ever-growing privileged class of non-citizens who are exempt from the application of the law . Thousands of illegal alien felons have been released and the notorious DREAM Act gave residency to hundreds of thousands illegal aliens under 18. We can expect only more of this.
The creation of two separate systems of justice is by design. At its core is a goal is to let illegal aliens remain here, unaccountable to the law, to cultivate a grateful pool of future Democratic voters.

A long-delayed appeal of a Gilbert ruling that conventional apartment complexes can't be built at the Main Street Commons without a use permit is expected to move forward Wednesday.
The town's Planning Commission, which also serves as its Board of Adjustment, is set to hear developer Opus West make its case that it has the right to build apartments that aren't "loft-style," with retail or office space on the first floor.
Gilbert zoning administrator Mike Milillo ruled in July that the project's approved development plans does not allow for standalone apartment complexes, and the developer's appeal was first scheduled for a hearing in September.
Since then. Opus's attorney, Mike Withey, asked for and received five delays on the hearing, the last one in February.
This week, it's actually going to go forward, he said.
He said that during the last eight months the project's developers have tried to come up with alternatives to build the residential piece of the project, but "eventually we just came to the conclusion that it would be a good idea to get the issue decided," Withey said.
He contends the previous developer of the project never committed to building the apartments as lofts at hearings where the project was approved back in 2005.
Milillo said in his ruling that there are no indications that the developers sought to build stand-alone apartments at Main Street Commons, and planning staff recommended that only loft-style residences be approved for the site.
Economic conditions and financial hardship has delayed development on most of the Main Street Commons site, but the first piece, a Hyatt Place hotel, is scheduled to open late this month.
The Planning Commission's meeting will begin 6 p.m. in the council chambers at the Gilbert Municipal Center, 50 E. Civic Center Drive. The board will also be asked to approve a use permit for Gilbert's first convention center, the SanTan Elegante Conference Center, which is to feature a 10,000 square-foot ballroom that can seat up to 790 people.

Hi Everyone Me and my neighbours had to move some wood and pallets in our shared garden and we discovered bees underneath. I've took pictures from my phone, but that is as close as I want to get to them! Does anyone have an idea what they are. I am fascinated watching them and they don't seem too bothered, as long as you don't interfere with them. They seem to be going under a big clump of grass and then into the ground. Don't know how many there is. They are not a problem, just wanting to learn more. I've put some photos online and also where the nest is. Since we moved the wooden pallets, will the bees to too exposed or will they be ok? Should I cover them with something to protect them. Thanks for reading, Kind Regards David |

Follow-Up Postings:
I need help with bees. Last night i was playing with my dogs and their balls went into a ground cover type shrub. My little dog came out crying and rubbing under my chair. I didn't know what was going on until i started feeling stings. I looked and saw my big dog running covered in bees. I couldn't get the bees off him, he was running and whining and rolling on the ground. Eventually i was able to spay him with the hose and get the bees off. As far as i am concerned these bees have to go. I'm not exactly sure where the nest is, except i did see the bees swarming above this ground cover shrub. I believe they are yellow jackets. Please any advice on the best way to get rid of these bees would be of great help. Do i spay the area where i saw them with an over the counter bee spay (Raid)? Please help! |

David, ..looks like you have some nice bumble bees, as long the nest wasn't disturbed you should be fine. Mama,..yes, looks like yellow jackets, you could try using a garden hose and soak them with a nozzle end for a couple of hours,..they might move on when their nest is destroyed. |

It would be an understatement to say that we're obsessed with FKA Twigs. The London based singer, whose doll like face was featured on the pre-fall 2012 I-D cover, is quickly garnering attention for her edgy lyrics and angelic voice. Dare we say, girl power?!
Over the years, we've found that Mother Earth has an answer to most if not all of our beauty queries. With a little bit of experimentation we've found natural alternatives that can put your favorite beauty line to shame. If you're up for a little DIY, follow Beauty Beat A-Z to add a little nature to your beauty regimen.
If you want stellar skin, you should indulge in the sweet side of life and use brown sugar as a natural scrub for your face and body. This sweet grain packs a powerful component called glycolic acid which is commonly used in beauty products to fight acne. Without harming our skin, the super small and soft particles work together to break down the stuff that helps dead skin cells form and reveal smooth and radiant skin. Brown sugar is also a humectant, so it draws in moisture and stores it for our driest moments. Simply apply the sugar to damp skin, rub gently in a circular motion and voila you're on your way to glowing skin!
Wild Belle popped onto our radar after we witnessed a mesmerizing performance at Teen Vogue's Young Hollywood party in September. The indie band led by brother and sister Elliot and Natalie Bergman got their start in an earlier group called NOMO. Their sound is commonly referred to as reggae-pop and we couldn't agree more. Natalie's raspy voice paired with love centered lyrics over upbeat rhythmic tunes makes us feel like we're on the shore of an island. Watch the video for "Another Girl" below to catch the drift.

Not only do avocados make a tasty bowl of guacamole; the creamy fruit is known for its high content of "good fat" and is rich with vitamins that do wonders for skin and hair. When applied to the face, avocados penetrate the skin to boost moisture and reduce the appearance of fine lines. Hair also reaps the hydrating benefits when essential oils permeate and nourish our dry strands.There are plenty of different ingredients you can add to your hair/skin mask. But, we prefer to use an even mixture of avocado, honey, and extra virgin olive oil. Leave the mask on for fifteen minutes, remove with warm water and finish by closing your pores or hair cuticles with cold water.
Thursday night, Who What Wear and Cadillac celebrated 50 Style Stars at the London West Hollywood. The night brought out style driven starlets like Jessica Alba and Nicole Richie for champagne and a smooth playlist from Samantha Ronson. All guests were dressed to the nines, but we had an eye for style blogger Kelly Golightly's look. Her oversized sweater, polka dot blouse, and leopard booties had chic written all over it!
Get her look here!

Pina Banana
August 20th 2014By Cheryl Rich Heisler
You can't serve up Caribbean drinks without paying homage to the infamous PinaColada. But you don't have to stick with the same-old-drink, either. Try this updated, fruit-forward smoothie that's equally delicious with or without the "punch"!
