"People would love to work in their pajamas, on their own schedule and get around the consistency of 9-5," says James Sinclair, CEO of OnSite Consulting, a U.S. based consulting company that focuses on insolvency, distress, and concept repositioning, with a mission to help remote workers be more productive. "However, remote or flex working is wholly dependent on the employee and their ability to work in a quasi-autonomous environment and use it to their advantage. If it is about working just enough to get by then it won't work."
Sinclair's assessment is common to many employers: flexible working including the option of working from home is a leap of faith. However, OnSite Consulting has made it work – and in fact, from the company's inception, its founder decided against bricks-and-mortar and created a remote workforce instead. Sinclair is clear that a remote workforce can generate a return on investment. The remote workforce model saves his company $1million a year in overheads. "For me, only with the advent of group collaboration tools, cloud based document storage and VOIP can I actually ensure that my employees are completing their work and I am constantly managing my workforce," he says.
Sinclair judges his teams on their results, not hours spent at their desks, and this is a major change in thinking for many organisations. "For some employees, they love this approach and can speak openly about when they are unavailable because their confidence in their position and their completion of assignments speaks for itself," Sinclair explains. He adds that even if employees are tied to their desks there is the expectation that they will carry out some personal tasks like paying bills during work time – simply because they are at work during business hours. "Remote working has allowed open discussion regarding personal time and what is expected," he says.
Building an ROI case for remote working
According to a recent survey from Microsoft, remote-working programs can benefit employees and employers through increased productivity, reduced overheads and happier workers. Sixty percent of respondents, for example, said they are actually more productive and efficient when working remotely, as there are fewer interruptions and less time spent on the daily commute. There are cost savings from travel, office space and utilities. The talent pool is widened as you can recruit from a larger area, and providing flexible working options can help retain high fliers. Employees are less stressed and they get more done in the day. So it should be straightforward to build a business case that supports the idea of flexible working. Why aren't more companies doing it?
Even if your company has an established flexible or remote working policy, chances are you feel that your company (or your boss) isn't truly behind it. Only 15 percent of people feel that their company really supports flexible working arrangements. We're constrained to our desks by the perception that our career prospects are worse the less time we spend in the office. While we might not talk openly about it, the lack of support for remote working is a major source of simmering conflict between employers and employees.
Create a policy
Rieva Lesonsky, president of GrowBiz Media, believes that to get over this hurdle the most important thing is for companies to support remote workers. A corporate policy on remote work is the first step, and not having a policy is asking for trouble. "Employees don't know what they can and cannot do, and different managers may have different rules of their own," she says. "They may work from home on Wednesday and come in Thursday to find it's no longer allowed."
Without a clear set of guidelines, employees don't know if their career will suffer in some unseen way, and Lesonsky believes that this is one of the main reasons that employees choose not to work remotely, even if their company gives them a laptop and the technology to do so. "By codifying the terms of remote work, you're actually empowering people to work remotely," she says. "They won't have to worry about potential repercussions, because it's just company policy."
Once you have a policy, relaunch your flexible working program with the firm backing of those at the top of the organisation, as well as the support of line managers further down the chain.
Get management on-side
"The principles of 'getting on the boss's radar' can be seen in so many of the clients we visit and people are so confused on what loyalty and hours worked actually translate into," says Sinclair. "All too often we see staff staying late to prove how indispensable they are because they have this belief that by being seen by the boss equates to performance which in turn equates to job security or opportunity for growth. The reality is that loyalty and hours worked are not the benchmarks a company should set when determining job security or growth. Instead it should all come down to performance."
Choosing the right managers to support employees working remotely is key to them feeling supported and confident with their working set up – and for generating that all important return on investment.
"There's a certain type of manager that gets sweaty palms at the thought of not being able to see their workforce," says Christine Durst, author of The Two-Second Commute. "You should look for individuals who have a positive attitude toward telework and excellent communication skills. They should be results-driven and have superior delegation skills. And of course, they should show the willingness to be open to new ideas and change."
Don't forget meeting face-to-face
There is no substitute for meeting face-to-face on occasion, and the companies with successful remote-working practices make sure they meet up with their remote workers on a regular basis. "You want to make sure everyone comes together as frequently as possible and not only discusses work but gets that time to maintain and build relationships with their coworkers," Lesonsky says.
Strong relationships and a deep corporate network also contribute to the return on investment – meeting up in person not only shows the remote employee that she is not alone, but also means that when she needs input from a colleague she has the contacts in place to get things done quickly and efficiently. What employer doesn't want that?

Butte Garden Study Group The Butte Garden Study Group meets at 7:00 pm on the last Wednesday of each month at the Butte/Silverbow Archives Building at 17 West Quartz, and guests are warmly encouraged to attend. The Group has been in existence for over ten years and is a member of the Montana Federation of Garden Clubs. Please call our President, Norman DeNeal (406) 723-6656 for more information about the club and upcoming meetings. Each meeting has at least two educational presentations. Dues are $20, about the cost of a good gardening magazine, and the knowledge you gain from membership is worth ten times the fee. Although we formed in 2001, Butte has a proud tradition of gardening and social service. In fact, the late Evelyn Mooney from Butte served as president of the National Garden Clubs, Inc. from 1957-59. The restoration of the Butterfly Garden at Columbia Gardens was begun in 2001 and was a major community project. The Columbia Gardens was a 31 acre Victorian park on the east side of town nestled up against the Continental Divide at the headwaters of the Columbia River. The site of the restored Columbia Gardens Butterfly is in the heart of the Historic District in Butte, at the historic corner of Granite and Arizona Streets. Both annual and perennial foliage plants in silver-green, yellow and maroon colors were used. The butterfly form is the Montana state butterfly, the Mourning Cloak. Click here to read more about this project and view pictures of some of the plants used in 2004 to create the butterfly.
The Butte Garden Study Group membership is dedicated to:
We sponsor a public garden tour, a private garden tour of members' gardens, publication of "Garden of the Week" in the local newspaper, offer educational programs for our members, raise funds, and enjoy our annual picnic and plant exchange, and the Christmas party. For further information on membership or our community service projects, please call Norm DeNeal at 723-6656. We'd love to have you join our group! _________________________________ |

Ghost Pages: A Wired.com Farewell to GeoCities

"There are some stupid people in the tech industry who think of stuff purely as a matter of cost-benefit legality, and not that they are in fact keepers of other people's data," Scott laments. "They don't think about the repercussions of storing decades of work and history."
Scott's larger project is to change the way society thinks about user data. "I want the same protections afforded to housed online data done by users that we afford people's homes and rentals," he explains.
In his ideal world there would be legal mandates that would require hosts to give adequate warning and ample opportunity for users to download their data before it is consigned to binary oblivion. "Right now we get anything from a one-year warning to a one-minute warning."
Until the new dispensation arrives, Archive Team has made a simple commitment: "We are going to rescue your shit."
Drunk-Driver Victim Memorial
Perhaps the most poignant part of the GeoCities shutdown is the disappearance of so many online memorials, sites clearly built with tenderness and care by people in the throes of grief. In part, these sites answered the questions that come to mind when looking at an unfamiliar headstone: Who were you? How did you live? How did you die? Now many will be effaced, though that is inevitable, of course, in a real cemetery or a digital one.

Lenovo ThinkCentre M58 review
2.66GHz Intel Core 2 Duo E7300, 2.000000 RAM, 19in 1,440x900 display, Windows Vista Business
Lenovo primarily makes PCs for business, and the M58 is no exception. It's covered by a generous three-year onsite warranty, which is great for this price.
The case is around the size of a biscuit tin, so it takes up very little space. Getting inside the M58 is easy: simply press a button and swing the top of the chassis up to reveal the interior. You can fit an additional 2GB of RAM for a maximum of 4GB. You'll have to use compact laptop memory, but the replaceable DVD writer and hard disk are standard desktop components. Due to the limited space, there's no room for additional internal storage devices. The 320GB hard disk looks meagre compared with the 500GB disks that dominate this Labs, but it's more than enough for office files. There are no PCI Express slots at all, though.
The M58 has an integrated Intel GMA 4500 graphics chip, which can't cope with 3D games. The M58 was near the bottom of the table in our application benchmarks, but it's not a slow PC - it suffers in comparison with the more powerfully equipped competition.
The M58's strength is its energy efficiency. It consumed a meagre 19W when idle and just one watt more when running our demanding suite of benchmarks. In comparison, Mesh's faster Matrix II 920 Nero used 120W when idle and 168W when running our benchmarks.
The M58 is usually sold without a monitor, but you can also buy it with a Lenovo 19in widescreen display. Its 1,440x900 resolution isn't as high as the 1,680x1,050 of monitors supplied with other £650 PCs, but it's fine for working on most office documents. Despite the VGA interface, image quality was acceptable.
Lenovo's ThinkCentre M58 is ideal if you want a money-saving, energy-efficient PC for office work. It's relatively expensive for the specification but has a long onsite warranty. If you can live without the warranty and the dual-core processor, Novatech's Ion is just as power efficient but cheaper at just £263.

Ed Schultz and Sean Hannity have found something they can agree on: It was wrong for liberals to launch a campaign targeting Rush Limbaugh's advertisers after he called a law student a "slut." Schultz is one of the most outspoken liberals on the left-leaning MSNBC network, recently taking up the cause of the labor movement in the Wisconsin recall elections. Hannity is the Ed Schultz of Fox News. Both are forces on talk radio in their own rights. But at the Talkers New Media Seminar on June 7 in New York City, Schultz broke with the progressive community and criticized it for going after Limbaugh. "If we start attacking advertisers because of what somebody said -- it's the wrong thing to do," he said.

The Seattle Seahawks are making roster cuts this week to establish their 53 man roster by Friday. Right now there are 75 players on the preseason roster down from 90 a few short days ago.
If one thing is evident about the intentions of the Seahawks, it is that the team wants to build a younger unit on both sides of the ball.
Rookie Quarterback Russell Wilson started the Seattle youth movement by beating out Matt Flynn as the starting QB, which after the Wilson news came news that Tarvaris Jackson had been traded to the Buffalo Bills for a mid to late round draft pick.
Moving more pieces for youth, free agent Barrett Ruud was traded to the New Orleans Saints to back up injured Linebacker Curtis Lofton. The Seahawks are reportedly getting an undisclosed draft pick for Ruud's services.
["Image by KellBailey via Flickr"]
Ruud was expendable due to the performance of rookie Bobby Wagner. Wagner, the Seahawks second round draft pick out of Utah State was selected 47th overall in the NFL Draft. That made Wagner the highest selected Utah St. player ever drafted into the NFL.
Another Utah State Aggie drafted by the Seahawks this year Robert Turbin, could be another player to unseat a veteran starter in Seattle; Marshawn Lynch. Lynch will be facing a suspension this season for an offseason arrest, which will give young RBs Gregg Lumpkin and Turbin more opportunities to replace the aging Lynch.
Seventh round draft pick J.R. Sweezy, a former teammate of Russell Wilson's at North Carolina State, has impressed coaches during the preseason, enough so that the Seahawks have released veteran Defensive Lineman Deuce Lutui.
The Seahawks urgency to get younger may be to play to the strengths of Head Coach Pete Carroll. For much of the 2000's Carroll was one of the best coaches in the NCAA at developing young talent to its fullest potential developing players like Carson Palmer, Troy Polamalu and Reggie Bush.
Terrell Owens' NFL return lasted less than three weeks.
Owens was released by the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday, part of the league-mandated roster reductions from 90 to 75 players….More at Seattle Seahawks cut Terrell Owens, trade Tarvaris Jackson to Buffalo Bills – OregonLive.com

No, this isn't a bubbling lava pit – it's just your common or garden bath, complete with some floating red spa bath lights – just what you've always wanted! What's nice about these, though, is that rather than just sticking them on the bottom of the bath (which would be pretty uncomfortable, really) or on the bathroom walls, they're watertight enough to actually join you in the waterthemselves, floating gently alongside you in the water.
If you're feeling particularly adventurous, just add kids, and then watch as the little blighters try to dodge 'em. If red lights aren't quite your scene, don't worry, the colour changing versions are also available, and will phase through different colours as you watch. They're £8 for a pack of two, and run off two AAA batteries each.

13th-ranked Cumberland defeats Gold Nuggets For immediate release . . . November 17, 2006 Box Score NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Renae Williams scored 13 points and Juliana Fernandes 11 Friday to lead Cumberland to a 64-49 women's basketball victory against Xavier University of Louisiana in the Pops Duncan Classic at Moore Gym. Cumberland (3-0), rated 13th in NAIA Division I, limited Xavier (4-1) to a season-low 29-percent shooting from the floor and forced the Gold Nuggets into 27 turnovers. Jarryn Cleaves, with 20 points, was Xavier's only double-figure scorer. Rynika Hebert scored nine points. Renae Hall had 10 points and 11 rebounds for Cumberland, which led 24-18 at halftime. "We got kicked around pretty good," said Xavier coach Robert "Bo" Browder, whose Nuggets lost 63-50 to Cumberland in the opening round of the 2005 NAIA National Tournament — the only other time these schools met. "We struggled offensively, and we made too many silly mistakes. "We had a chance to get back in the game early in the second half. We stole the ball four straight times, but we turned it over after each steal." Cumberland shot 33 percent from the floor and outrebounded Xavier 47-40. Xavier will play 20th-ranked Trevecca Nazarene (3-0) at 4 p.m. Saturday.
The Xavier Gold Rush and Gold Nuggets compete in Division I of the NAIA (National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics) as a member of the Gulf Coast Athletic Conference (GCAC). Xavier fields men's and women's teams in basketball, cross country and tennis.

Generic, but amazingly cute Christmas decorations are everywhere in Paris stores.
Wouldn't it be fun, though, to have a souvenir Christmas decoration with a Paris theme?
La Colomberie and Marché aux fleurs Cité are two places that always have a variety of Paris-themed ornaments during the holidays.
La Colomberie (Christmas à Paris.com) is a bonus though. If you are in Paris outside the Christmas season, you can still buy a themed ornament or religious ornaments. Preview your shopping list on the Christmas à Paris Web site, which shows an assortment of Christmas ornaments.
At Marché aux fleurs Cité, Valerie Fleurs carries colorful key chains with Paris themes, ideal for hanging on a tree! Their Eiffel Tower key chains are a higher quality than those found at the souvenir stores. Tip: Compare the weight of the towers at different shops before you buy; you will feel a difference.

Just been looking at new desktop PCs and came across one with a triple core AMD processor and wondered if it actually makes a difference whether the processor is Intel or AMD in terms of compatibility and speed. I'm guessing it doesn't since it's just branding but I just thought I would ask to make sure. asked Jun 14 '11 at 17:12 ojmar |
To a great extent it is just brands. However, the build quality is, in my opinion, greater in a Intel processor. I've used both and this was my observations. Both were similar prices and both were made around the same time. answered Jun 14 '11 at 17:14 Noah Rainey I completely agree. I have had AMD's and Intel's and I much prefer Intel. Currently I have a quad core i7 and it is great.
(Jun 14 '11 at 17:37)
I agree too. I have tried both processors AMD and Intel and i find that Intel processors are more stable so i would prefer Intel more. That is my opinion.
(Jun 14 '11 at 17:52)
If I was going to build my own computer, I would choose AMD, because I think that I'm getting better value for the money.
(Jun 14 '11 at 22:44)
Intel is better. I really don't like AMD. XP should run fast with 1 GB of RAM, but on my moma's computer with an AMD processor, it really stunk. XD Also, my friend got a new Windows 7 desktop computer a while back. Sometimes he'll go to sleep and leave it in sleep mode, with nothing running, and it will get random BSODs, and he had an AMD processor. He had an AMD processor, a sweet graphics card, and 4GB of RAM. Now, as for me, I have a Windows 7 laptop with an Intel i5, 4GB of RAM, and an intel graphics processor (Intel Graphics overheat a lot, so the fan drives me crazy -_-) and the only times I EVER get BSOD's is when I overload the RAM or I completely crashed my computer (Which I've done like 2 or 3 times XD) answered Jun 14 '11 at 18:05 jebug29 |
Since they are manufacturers with different technologies that share licenses with each other some people are under the impression they are the same, that the only differences are branding and pricing. In reality they are similar but still very different. In terms of compatibility both are rather equal. In terms of shear power the Intel cpus are far superior to the AMD cpus. In the pricing wars, AMD's lower pricing gives gives them a slight (shrinking) edge. In the end, you get what you can afford. answered Jun 14 '11 at 18:37 NeoHavock |
AMD has for most part been known as a budget brand for CPUs where Intel is more expensive but naturally the quality of the CPUs from them are of much higher. I have also found based on my own testing, that Intel CPUs to be more stable under load and under increased clocks than other AMD chips. If you have the extra money I would go for an i5 or i7, based on your usage, which should give you plenty of power to suit general office use for a few years to come as well as plenty of headroom to play most of the more demanding games(coupled with a decent video card) currently out. answered Jun 14 '11 at 19:05 Lamethrower |
It all boils down to how you want to use your computer. Why would you get an i7 or a Phenom Quad Core if you only need your desktop for browsing the web, documents and stuff. I have used intels and AMDs before and I prefer the AMD brand. I never had any problems with it since the 486DX version came out :) There was the time when heat was an issue but Intel had a far worse heat problem when it was their time. So I guess, think about how you are going to use your computer and read the reviews. Then decide which to buy. :) answered Jun 14 '11 at 19:51 finaldata |

How do you know what to keep after organizing?
I've done lots of organizing. Now, I'm not sure HOW MUCH to keep. Like pillows, blankets, craft or sewing stuff, tupperware, etc. How do you know how much is too much or too little to keep?
Have you gotten rid of something that you used NEVER, only to need it in about 6 weeks? Maybe I should just wait to read Don Aslett's books???
You need to get rid of the fear of getting rid of things.
Flylady's excellent advice is to keep only those things you use and love :)
You can box stuff up and date it -- if you havne't used it in a year, it is highly unlikely that you will need or want it again. Release stuff and bless someone else who may actually need.
How many pillows/blankets do you actually need -- those you use and enough for the spare bed or whatever. Anything else is clutter.
Regarding crafts and other projects. I have learned from flylady that there is no purpose to keep unless I am using them. Even residing on my shelf, they can fill me with a sense of unmade expectation.
There are many reasons people hoard and hold on to useless clutter -- fear that they won't be able to provide for themselves -- a sense that the stuff defines them -- guilt that they spent the money and aren't wearing/using etc.
So what if you need something in six weeks? You go out and buy it again -- Start with those objects that you are unlikely to need and only fill you with some anxiety -- everybody has the worn, the broken, the missing parts, the projects which no longer interest one.
You don't have to fling everything at once -- it's a very gradual process when one realizes releasing stuff isn't a loss but a gain.
Per flylady and she is so right as always -- YOU CAN'T ORGANIZE CLUTTER.
I get rid of it if it has absolutely no redeeming quality, or if I have plenty of it. (i.e. if you have a queensize bed, how many sheet sets do you really need? Or - if you have sheetsets that are mismatched or you hate, and never use, why keep them?)
Sentimental things are different. I keep baby gifts that my grandma gave me while I was pregnant (she passed away a week before I had my DD), and they are hard to part with. Other items, when I really look hard at them, I'm not as attached to as I thought. There is no real rule to them. Peter on Clean Sweep says, "Your memories of Grandma are not tied to those baby items". Sometimes, this is true, and sometimes it is not.
If something is dear to your heart, don't worry about keeping it. In my case, there is enough actual junk in the house I can still part with. :-)
The other side of the coin is bringing new things in. i.e. new clothes - I try not to get a new pair of shoes or outfit, unless at least one corresponding item goes to goodwill. This helps maintain the feeling of uncluttered-ness.
Some things are easy to toss; some are harder.
The hard ones for me are the stuff like extra queen-size sheets, or extra kitchen towels, all of which I actually like, but who needs 4 pairs, or more than 14 towels? Actually those aren't always that hard. But sometimes. They're still useful, in a year or two I actually will need them, even if I don't now.
I can keep myself from buying new sheets or kitchen towels, but what do I do w/ ones I already own, and KNOW I'll need to spend money on again, since it's inevitable?
Sometimes, I keep 'em. Sometimes I say to myself, "I'll pay $15 to not have to figure out what to do with this thing for the next 2 years" and I get rid of them.
I think it's gradual, also. You start out easily tossing junk--but that's not your question, right? Then, you find it easier to toss stuff that's NOT junk but that you know you don't want. Then you get to a point where you know, intellectually, that there are too many objects. But which ones to get rid of? That's the question.
So, once you've gotten to that harder spot, all the obvious stuff is gone, then start smaller. Aim lower. Realize that you will have to slow down, and ditch fewer things each time.
It's like getting juice from a lemon, or squeezing water from a washcloth--you get a big gush all at once. Then, you have to pause a moment, then squeeze a teeny bit, pause, figure out where the juice is, squeeze a little more. Refold the washcloth, roll it into a cylinder and squeeze; then squeeze a teeny bit harder, etc.
As time goes by, you may find it easier to part with that 3rd and 4th set of sheets (example only). Or you'll realize that they're not taking up more room on the shelf than set No. 2 is, it's the same footprint, so nothing else would go in that space (this is the case w/ my kitchen towels--they fit on the shelf, so they stay), so you leave 'em.
I have ditched something, and a week later said, "gee, if I had that..." But in all honesty, I might not have remembered THAT I had it, if I hadn't been decluttering and therefore seen (and tossed) it. I haven't actually had searing regrets. Mild exasperation, maybe. (guilt, w/ Hedgie, definitely)
Another question I sometimes ask is, "if I suddenly realize I need (or even just want) this after all, how upset will I be?" Some stuff is easy to replace--money's not so tight for me that I can't buy something I really *need*, and sometimes I can buy stuff I just want.
If it's really unusual, or expensive, or would take me too long to go get, I consider keeping it, because in those cases the answer to that question might be "really upset" or even (as in the case of the drill, which I use in spurts, but not every year) "really exasperated" or "unable to replace because it costs too much."
(note that this doesn't mean I keep stuff just because I spent money on it)
I find that when I put all I have of a category in a pile, it is pretty easy to see which ones are the best, which ones I use, etc. At that point, I ask how many of these do I need. I did this with sheets, and ended up with 2 sets for each bed. I don't need or use more than that, so why keep them? I agree with Talley Sue that I'm not as likely to throw things out if they are in a spot where it wouldn't matter because I would not fill the extra space, anyways. But very often I can move things around and use that newfound space for something else and put the old pile in a new, smaller spot.
As for crafts, I read Flylady's commentary on those and had to agree for the most part that the undone crafts were making me feel more guilty than happy, and then it was really easy to pass them on to other people. If I really want to do something, I would finish it, so why spend any time finishing something I really don't want?
I think the actual number is something you have to decide for yourself, but really looking at all you have and thinking about if you use it all and if you LIKE to use it all will help make that decision. There are some things that were useful, but didn't like to use them. When I thought about why I didn't like to use them, they were gone with no hard feelings at all. I really can't think of too much I have gotten rid of, except for things I really was glad to get rid of.
You've all given excellent advice.
Like Tally Sue said...I've tossed out the obvious and now I know there are still too many objects...my problem...I like to redecorate.
So help me please....I have 2 rather pricey, beautiful quilts that fit a bed being stored. (It is stored because I needed the spare bedroom for my office...another story.) I also have a quilt my dh's sister made for a king bed, but we don't really use it (and I can not give away), I have a travel trailer that bulk items went into that...like my 3rd and 4th set of pillows (ugh)..those stay in there. In fact my travel trailer has it's own set of everything.
Like RJVT I have craft stuff making me feel more guilty than happy, but...I also would like to have something on hand if i get the urge to stamp my wall or do something decorative. If I have to drive a gazillion miles to get the "stuff", then I've lost interest (we live out in the middle of nowhere.) I have craft paint...some scrapbooking stuff (limited) "in case" we want to make Grandma or anybody something like a card or whatever. I'll be homeschooling...do I keep this crap or dump it? I think I can use it for homeschooling or can I...I'm new to homeschooling and just beginning.
Then there's the excess towels (bathrooms are easy to redorate)...to the travel trailer for some..and excess, well, we swim, we have muddy dogs, large Great Dane mud, etc. So there's that 3rd spot for the towels...
The office story...we have our own business and our office is in the garage...no problem... Then, I pulled my dd out of preschool and now she's home w/me. I can't leave her to do work in the garage, so the spare bedroom had to go and my office is in the house, and the main office must be outside (for my dh to work in peace). So more storing...the bed (2 years brand new for company). Our travel trailer is, well, old...another to-do list on repairs and cosmetic work, but now a good place to put visitors.
We're pretty lucky moneywise too I can rebuy, but I surely don't want to throw away money either.
I'd love to dump it all, but I know I'll probably regret some of it when I want my dd to make Grandma a quickie card or something. Ahhhh....I would like to use it all, but I don't have the time or energy to think about what I would do with it, unlike when I was pre-kid.
Yes...I'm looking for you to tell me I'm crazy.
I think the only thing that jumps out at me is the pillows. An extra set or two for company is great, and understandable. But 3 or 4 extra sets might mean you need to re-evaluate all of them, and only keep the ones that are good quality enough to keep.
can you store those quilts with the bed? If the mattress is safe, the quilts should be safe. And they'd be together.
I dread the idea of someone making something and giving it to me. Because then I feel crummy if I decide I don't need it or want it.
It's one thing to keep craft supplies, in properly labeled bins, etc. It's another thing to keep partly done projects.
Do your kitchen supplies make you feel guilty? Just because you haven't used the broiler in six months, do you feel bad? I don't. So I don't feel bad because I own a pressing ham (for sewing) either. I *do* feel bad because I still have a vest that I cut out and never sewed.
It's the projects that make me feel crummy, not the tools.
I agree with the above replies, guilt is a terrible reason to keep something, no matter where it originates. I have the flag from my grandfather's coffin (WWI soldier) and I just don't know what to do with it. It's huge and it's still in the triangle that my precious grandmother gave to my mother about 30 years ago. Now I have it. I guess I need to just buy one of those cases for memorial flags, but then I have to explain to my dear brothers and sisters why I ended up with this family heirloom. Oh well. Since its stored in a closet, I'm not worried about it yet. But I need to deal with it at some point....
I agree a couple extra pillows are a must for company, etc. but beyond that, I would get rid of the others. The quilt is sort of a "must keep" as this relative put in countless hours into it. It needs to be kept for sentimental and "not worth insulting the family" reasons. Perhaps you could display it on a wall quilt rack somewhere in the house, or even draped at the foot of a bed, over the back of a sofa, etc.
I just started homeschooling, but my older sister did it the whole way through with her now grown children. In my opinion she majorly overbought and most went unused. In the public school your kids get one book for each subject, no more. So why we seem to think we need so much more really doesn't make sense. My son is doing weekly book reports, but for that and future term papers we use the library. Be careful when you go to the homeschooling conferences. There are a lot of people there selling their books. It is easy to get caught up in it. While most are great, do you really need 10 great books on the same subject?! Ask yourself honestly, am I really going to do all these experiments in this "Experiments From Your Kitchen" book, etc. For me being honest and knowing I am not going to do most of that has kept me from overbuying.
I guess the same rule applys in so many areas. Before you buy another craft project, ask yourself, am I really going to make it? Before you keep the craft projects you have, ask yourself the same thing.
Before you keep that extra garlic press, ask why on earth anyone needs more than one. For me, going through and eliminating duplicates made a huge difference. I couldn't believe how many kitchen gadgets I had!
I think organizing and sorting is always an on-going project. Sometimes I will keep something believing I will use it. A year or so later, reality sets in and I realize it will always just sit there, so I get rid of it. Kind of like my food dehydrator. Sounded like a good idea, but I never used it! It went away in last years garage sale.
Best of luck. Remember, other than sentimental stuff, anything can be re-bought, but re-buying your sanity from a home out of control isn't as easy!
cup, do you think that flag would work for a school, or a church, or something? Surely those organizations need to replace their flags now and then.
Would his grade school, high school, town hall, whatever, be able to use it? Then it could get tattered, etc., and you wouldn't have to deal w/ throwing it out. But you could pretend they were honoring him by flying his flag. (maybe they really *would* be honoring him by flying his flag)
I don't know what the situation is with the travel trailer, is it near your house or far away? It sounds like it's functioning mainly as a guest room. Do you actually have guests very often? I guess what I'm thinking is, a guest room is kind of like a dining room. If you only give it one use, and the use doesn't come up very often, the space kind of gets wasted.
Could the trailer be the place to store certain things like craft supplies between guest visits?
The flag is not a flying flag because it's sized to drape over a coffin, so it's extremely long. But what a good point! Can I trim a flag with scissors?
When I got my children into school after homeschooling for many years, I realized that the teachers at school have very little storage for the eight subjects they teach the children (P.E., Music, and art have their own classrooms). There are an overwhelming number of homeschooling families who make their living selling homeschooling stuff and these materials are fabulous. But you don't need them. You're wise to recognize this now. Good luck!
Erica, this is funny: I was going to post and say maybe she was storing TOO MUCH in that travel trailer--that it was becoming a place to stash stuff, and that this might not be good. (she'll have to clean it out when she wants to use it, and it might encourage her to keep stuff she really ought to get rid of)
CUP totally OT from the original, but if I ran a VFW post, I'd offer to fly those flags! (you might ask a VFW post if they've got any ideas for you) I'd mount an extra-high flagpole, and I'd put up a sign (that you could change) to tell whose flag it was, and when they served, etc. (I thought flags were all the same proportion--that it's not really "the" flag if it's different.
And I would DEFINITELY consider shortening it, and flying it at home! That could be really neat! Maybe get an upholsterer to help you shorten it, bcs I'm guessing it's pretty thick and might be hard to sew at home.
Of course, one day it'll wear out, and then you can take it to the VFW hall, and ask them to reverently dispose of it for you!
So the REST of us could remember them!
You can't trim an American flag as it's considered a desecration by the way.
Regarding getting rid of stuff, flylady's 27 flings are based on a Suze Orman exercise -- By gettting rid of things, it forces one to confront how one really wants to spend money.
The more I've flung, the less I want to spend on things that are only going to create clutter or that I don't really need. I know how hard it is to get rid of stuff once it's home -- whatever the specific rationalization or justification. Whenever i think about buying sheets, I realize that I am perfectly happy with the two sets I have -- one to put on the bed and one to wash.
As you weed through the obvioius, things become harder and easier. I've been at this for about three years and I am still getting rid of layers of clutter that I thought I absolutely needed or caused me anxiety about releasing --
I've recently bought a whole bunch of zippered clear plastic storage bags for blankets and comforters and pillows; I found that when I was deciding what to put in them, I had to decide if the item was "worthy" of having a designated plastic cover for it; a whole pile of stuff got donated because I could not justify giving them a proper home for
"in case" storage.
Piles of bedlinens that go unused for years get musty smelling and are not appealing to use anyway.
One bad habit I have is keeping tons of old facecloths, rags, tea towels in a separate basket to use as rags; then I turn around and buy dozens of miracle cloths and use only those.....

Product Details
BodyChoice Massage Oil Warmer
With our BodyChoice Massage Oil Warmer you will be able to heat your massage oils and lotions to the perfect temperature and keep them at that temperature for the duration of your massage. Just fill up the warmer's reservoir with water and the heating plate inside creates a "hot-water bath" for your massage oil. The reservoir's generous opening can accommodate wide-mouth bottles and bottles up to 2.8" in diameter. The water's heat is transferred quickly, evenly, and safely to your bottle of massage oil without compromising the oil's nutrients. The warmer automatically stops heating when the desired temperature is reached and will resume heating once the temperature has fallen below the desired number of degrees, so there is no risk of underheating or overheating your oil. The warmer has five adjustable temperature levels between 77° F and 140° F. A handy indicator light will illuminate when the warmer is in the process of heating your oil and will automatically shut off once the desired temperature is reached. Detailed instructions on how to use your BodyChoce Massage Oil Warmer are included.

8 oz. BodyChoice Organic Almond Massage Oil
Almond oil is a very popular choice for many different types of massage including aromatherapy massage. Versatile almond oil is perfect for creating massage oil blends and provides an ideal glide when applied to the skin. It rarely causes skin reactions, but should not be used on those who have nut sensitivities. Almond oil softens dry, cracked skin and soothes inflamed, itchy skin. It improves the overall appearance and tone of skin, it reduces the appearance of scars, wrinkles and stretch marks, and it can also ease muscle pain. Almond oil has a very pleasant, sweet, nutty aroma and it absorbs semi-quickly into the skin.
8 oz. BodyChoice Organic Sunflower Massage Oil
Sunflower Oil is light and absorbs quickly into the skin making it ideal for massage. It is an affordable carrier oil that blends nicely with other carrier oils as well as essential oils.

Antioxidants keep the skin protected against harmful free radicals that cause premature aging and other health problems. Sunflower Oil also has a wealth of essential unsaturated fatty acids, lecithin, as well as vital minerals and vitamins. Sunflower Oil works well with all skin types, but is especially beneficial for acne-prone, inflamed skin. It is a wonderful moisturizer and works to keep dry, prematurely aged, and damaged skin properly hydrated.

Sesame Seed Oil has been used in Ayurvedic medicine (the traditional medicine of India) for centuries. This pleasant-smelling, affordable oil absorbs deeply into the skin allowing vital nutrients to enter into the body. Because it is so easily absorbed, Sesame Seed Oil is ideal for blends because it can carry other oils' vitamins and minerals into the skin. Sesame Seed revitalizes tired, stressed skin and reduces inflammation of joints. It has antibacterial and antifungal properties and keeps the skin protected from the damaging effects of UVA rays.
8 oz. BodyChoice Organic Shea Butter
Shea butter is a wonderful healing agent derived from the fat of the nut of the African Shea tree. It has a variety of benefits especially in regards to skin and hair care. It is solid at room temperature, but can be carefully heated to a softened or liquid state. Our Shea Butter is certified organic, 100% pure, and is extracted using a hand-held expeller machine. No chemicals or supplementary heat are used in the process so its nutritional and therapeutic benefits are totally kept intact.
8oz. BodyChoice Organic Camellia Massage Oil
Camellia Oil, also known as tea seed oil, is becoming increasingly popular for use in massage because of its light texture, gentle herbal aroma, rapid absorbability, and skin benefits. The oil has been used extensively in Asian countries, where the camellia flower flourishes, for centuries. Camellia Oil is a wonderful moisturizer for dry and mature skin. It is also soothes sunburnt skin and protects against the harmful effects of UVA rays. Camellia Oil works well with most skin types and speeds the healing of wounds and reduces the appearance of scars, wrinkles and stretch marks. Full of antioxidants, essential fatty acids, Vitamins A, B, and E, and oleic acid, Camellia Oil provides several essential nutrients that benefit skin and hair.

dino61111 | Second ascent. | |
The first time, in 1997, I stayed in the large and noisy barracks at Piedra Grande. This was a mistake, which the following year I did not repeat. This time I had the driver drop me off on the approach road to base camp and I tented it at about 13,000' level. The next day I wandered up to the 14,000' level and camped away from the throngs. The next project was to set up a high camp at the base of the glacier at around 16,000'. A night up there and on to the summit to finish with a nice long glissade almost back to the tent. Truly memorable times and still the highest I've ever been and summited the mountain. | ||

shknbke | Ridge of Gold Date Climbed: Dec 28, 2015 | |
Conditions were very good in the Labyrinth and on the glacier. I recent snowstorm 4 days prior made for perfect conditions to kick steps in the Labyrinth. We didn't feel the need to use crampons or axe. The glacier itself is perfect for crampon work. We took a slight variation of the standard route, contouring over to the Ridge of Gold and descended the standard route. 10 hours round trip including 1.5 hours on summit. | ||

I climbed orizaba with el Oso from Orizaba Mountain Guides. he was very helpful throughout the ascent. The ascent was pretty straightforward and not technical but once you are on the glacier its a long long slog to the summit even though it looks really close. It was a fun day altogether. I was out of energy by the time I reached the summit and it took me almost the same amount of time to get down as it did to ascend. | ||

This was one of the best experiences of my life. I did it without preparation. It was magic. I walk all the way to the refuge with all my gear alone, lost hope, found hope with a cool guy who was looking for a buddy and made it to the top and back down. It was awesome!

Couldn't have asked for a more beautiful day. 6 hours to the summit from the hut. Started at 1:30am and returned to hut by 11:40am. On par with Mount Hood as far as physical difficulty. Add 18000ft of elevation and it makes it a bit more challenging. Great experience and absolutely beautiful country!!! | ||

Spent a lovely couple days at the smaller Piedre Grande hut. Made at attempt on the summit the day before but turned around in the Labyrinth because my partner wasn't doing well. Climbed solo the next day - up in 5.5 and had the summit all to myself. Hardly felt the altitude! Memorable mountain. | ||

Cloud Ocean | From high camp below the labyrinth Date Climbed: Dec 22, 2012 | |
Climbed over two days, with a high camp by the last rock rings below the labyrinth. Began climbing from my tent at 4:30 and reached the summit at 9:00. The labyrinth was out of condition with hard ice everywhere. Great conditions on the Jamapa glacier. Climbed Orizaba solo, but there were plenty of others on the mountain and in the hut. | ||

36 hrs after climbing Izta, we climbed Orizaba with Oso from OMG. Not a cloud in the way the entire 9 hours hut-to-hut! Quite cold, but that's what wool is for. We took a very direct line straight up with perfect snow conditions. So jealous to watch 2 Colorado guys ski down! Altitude was never an issue for me. Awesome trip! Spent a restful night at Canchola's afterward; love Joaquin's birds. | ||

My fiancé and I had a great adventure getting to Tlachichuca and climbing the Volcano/Mountain. We had recently trad climbed a few multi pitch routes in Tuolomne and had a great guided climb up the east buttress of Mt. Whitney. Pico proved to be a great outing and as we are new at high altitude climbs to have success on the first go in a single day push is very encouraging. We were so exhausted and the wind was so strong at the summit we only took one picture. | ||

Awesome climb, not bad three in 9 days. I spend some time earlier in the week acclimating on La Malinche, then a successful summit of Ixtaccihuatl 17,340' followed by El Pico de Orizaba 3 days later. Long week, no storms or other conditions to be concerned about. Lot of wild fires in the surrounding areas, pretty dry this time of year. Awesome trip, good grade on the Jamapa glacier, little hard to breath but smooth going with plenty of time to acclimate on this trip | ||

Great climb. STEEP! Over 2000 vert. feet per mile. My friend and I arrived on Wednesday and hiked to the base of the labyrinth, to acclimatize. The next day we left around 8:00am with the intention of caching our heavier gear (crampons, boots, etc.) at the base of the glacier. However, by the time we got there, the conditions were so perfect, we just decided to go for it! Worked out great. 5:25 to the summit from the hut, 2:37 back down. | ||

We waltzed up the Ruta Normal in great conditions. Boot track through the labyrinth (only short icy stretches) and good snow conditions to the summit on the glacier. Stayed a the excellent Cancholas hostel, getting a ride to and from Piedra Grande in their 4x4. Lots of fun and, as hoped, a great way to first experience high altitude. | ||

I left Puebla early on Saturday morning for Tlachichuca (54 pesos). From there I took a shared taxi to San Miguel Zoapan (10 pesos). Walked through the fields in 1 hour to Miguel Hidalgo. From there to refugio Piedra Grande in 3 hours. Refugio filled up completely and there were some ten tents pitched outside. Left on Sunday morning at 3 am to reach the summit at 7:30 am. Great view, many people from the ruta sur there. Ice in the labyrinth, glacier was perfect, ice not to hard, hardly any wind. Descent in 3 hours. Started walking back from the refugio, then got a ride all the way to Tlachichuca. | ||

After a nice drive from Juarez down through DF we ended up at the base of Pico de Orizaba. We drove within a mile or so of the hut then finished hiking in. Met a mixed group of climbers from Seattle and Anchorage. Hit the summit the next morning and then headed to the beach the following day in Veracruz. Great trip | ||

Ukraine crisis: EU signs association deal
The EU and Ukraine have signed an agreement forging closer economic ties, in a show of support following Russia's annexation of Crimea.
Former Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych's abandonment of the EU deal in November triggered protests, his removal and Russia's move into Crimea.
EU leaders have also agreed to try to reduce energy dependence on Russia.
In Moscow, President Vladimir Putin signed a law formally absorbing Crimea into Russia.
The EU and the US have announced sanctions on several high-ranking Russian figures, targeting Mr Putin's inner circle.
Full details of the latest EU targets are due to be published shortly.
Russian shares fell sharply on Friday as investors considered the impact of the Western sanctions on Russia's economy.
'Rule of law'The EU Association Agreement with Ukraine is designed to give the country's interim leadership under PM Arseniy Yatsenyuk economic and political support.
EU President Herman Van Rompuy said in a statement that the accord "recognises the aspirations of the people of Ukraine to live in a country governed by values, by democracy and the rule of law".
The political parts of the accord were signed in Brussels on Friday; the economic and trade sections will not be signed until after Ukrainian presidential elections in May.
Mr Yatsenyuk said this was a "historic day", adding: "We want to be a part of the big European family and this is the first tremendous step in order to achieve for Ukraine its ultimate goal, as a full-fledged member."
He added that "the best way to contain Russia is to impose real economic leverage".
Crisis timeline
- 21 Nov 2013: President Viktor Yanukovych abandons an EU deal
- Dec: Pro-EU protesters occupy Kiev city hall and Independence Square
- 20-21 Feb 2014: At least 88 people killed in Kiev clashes
- 22 Feb: Mr Yanukovych flees; parliament removes him and calls election
- 27-28 Feb: Pro-Russian gunmen seize key buildings in Crimea. Parliament, under siege, appoints pro-Moscow Sergei Aksyonov a PM
- 6 Mar: Crimea's parliament votes to join Russia
- 16 Mar: Crimea voters choose to secede in disputed referendum
- 17 Mar: Crimean parliament declares independence and formally applies to join Russia
- 18 Mar: Russian and Crimean leaders sign deal in Moscow to join the region to Russia
Speaking at the end of the summit in Brussels, German Chancellor Angela Merkel said she was returning home "very happy," as European leaders had been able to find a joint position on the Ukraine crisis.
UK Prime Minister David Cameron said that the best rebuke to Russia would be a strong and successful Ukraine.
Mr Cameron described Sunday's referendum in Crimea as a "sham", saying it took place "at the barrel of a Kalashnikov".
Trade issuesThe most sensitive issue of trade integration with the EU is as yet unsigned.
But in its Conclusions on Ukraine, published on Friday, the EU said it was committed to signing the remainder.
The EU also said it would push ahead with similar co-operation deals with two former Soviet republics - Georgia and Moldova - in the summer.
Moscow has troops in breakaway parts of Georgia and in Trans-Dniester, which broke away from Moldova, and our correspondent says the EU's announcement on this is likely to infuriate the Kremlin far more than any sanctions imposed so far.
The EU has also cancelled a summit with Russia in June and said member states would cancel regular bilateral summits.
Sanctions broadenedFriday's signing came as the EU broadened its sanctions over Russia's annexation of Crimea.
It added 12 individuals to an earlier list of 21 who now face asset freezes and travel bans.
The US on Thursday added to its own list and also targeted the Rossiya bank.
President Putin said after talks with officials in Moscow that he would not take immediate reciprocal action.
"I think we should refrain from taking steps in response for now," Interfax quoted Mr Putin as saying.
Regarding the US sanctions on Rossiya bank, Mr Putin said: "I personally did not have an account with it but will open an account there on Monday for sure."
Two credit rating agencies have now downgraded Russia's outlook to negative from stable.
After signing the law completing Crimea's accession to the Russian Federation, Mr Putin said: "We have a lot of work ahead to adapt Crimea to Russian legislation... I ask deputies of both chambers to do their best in the interests of all Russians and of Crimeans especially."
Earlier all 155 senators present in the upper house of Russia's parliament voted to ratify the treaty.
Addressing the house, Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said any reference to annexation was an insult to "people, to their inalienable rights to self-determination, which they have exercised to the full".
Ukraine's interim President Olexander Turchynov, after meeting UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon on Friday, said Kiev would never accept a Crimea that was not part of Ukraine's sovereign territory.
Mr Ban said that he had told President Putin in talks on Thursday that the crisis could only be solved through peaceful negotiations, based on the UN charter and respect for the sovereignty of Ukraine.
He urged both sides to avoid "inflammatory rhetoric" and to control "radical elements".
A UN team under envoy Ivan Simonovic has now arrived in Crimea to discuss setting up a UN human rights monitoring mission in the region.

Endless Ideas BeBook Club S review
The BeBook was one of the first E-Ink eReaders we reviewed and, while it couldn't compete with Sony's slick Reader, it got a special mention for its support for a broad range of file formats and typefaces. The BeBook range has expanded since then, but the Club S still follows in this tradition, with support for multiple languages and file formats.
There's no stylus support as with the more expensive Neo, so has five navigation buttons, two page-turning buttons and Menu and Back buttons. The Menu button is labelled with a Home symbol, however, which is confusing, as to return to the home screen you have to keep pressing the Back button.
It's reminiscent of a computer's file system, where you navigate through trees of folders, and we found this structure frustrating to use and unnecessary. This is in stark contrast to other readers such as the Kobo or Sony eReaders, which have more functional categories and lists of book titles rather than filenames.
Page-turning was quick, however, and the Club S is one of the few eReaders that allows you to choose how many pages you turn before the screen refreshes completely. Contrast is good, making small text readable, but it isn't the best screen we've seen and some ghosting was apparent if the screen hadn't been refreshed recently.
'Ponderous' doesn't only describe the Club S's interface: it's one of the heaviest eReaders we've tested, second only to the Neo. At 278g it's almost twice as heavy as Sony's new T1 Reader, and holding it in one hand for long periods could become uncomfortable.
You can change the font as well as its size and encoding, although in some formats, such as old PDF files where text is rendered as an image, you get the option to zoom instead. HTML files are loaded in a web browser, however, so you don't get the options you'd expect in a book, such as page navigation. The browser itself is useless, as there's no Wi-Fi.
This also means you have to either transfer files manually or use Adobe's Digital Editions software to load books onto the Club S via USB. The BeBook website has links to eBook shops and free repositories, but you'll have to stock up before you travel. There's an SD card slot that supports cards up to 32GB and, unlike some eReaders, the Club S didn't take ages to scan the card for books, even when we had almost 1,000 on the card.
As well as the usual eBook formats, there's support for the less-common DJVU and PDB formats. You can also play MP3 files while you read - the option is hidden in the menu. A dictionary is installed, but it's a chore to use: you have to choose Word Select and navigate to the word on the page. There's an option to have books read to you using text-to-speech, but pronunciation and sound quality are awful. Plus, there's no way to change the volume, which we found too loud.
If your eBook collection is in an odd format or you need support for Chinese or Cyrillic text the BeBook range is just about your only option. If not, then most other eReaders are lighter, easier to use and have better access to eBooks.

When Natalia was 16, she was robbed of her freedom. Her mother left her when she was 8. Her Dad was an alcoholic and left her to fend for herself. She tried to maintain her grades while living in an abandoned home, but couldn't make it.
So a teacher convinced Natalia that she could have a better life in another country, only that better life turned out to be a sham. She was forced into slavery at a hotel in Turkey. She lived in that nightmare for over a year until she was rescued and started a restoration program.
Natalia's story has a happy ending because of a group called, Abolition International. It's a group that K-LOVE Artist, Natalie Grant, is very involved in.
Natalie Grant went on a trip to Mumbai, walked through the red light district, and saw little tiny children for sale on the street and began to learn about the modern day horrors of human trafficking.
"I knew I'd be wrecked for life after that trip, but I also knew that I could not stand by and do nothing. I had to do something" she said. So she started an organization to help rescue and restore these young girls. It's turned into Abolition International.
God promises that He is our rescuer and restorer. His promise is he doesn't give us troubles, doesn't leave us in "the valley of the shadow of death" (Psalm 23:4), but he walks us through it. And when we get on the other side, he restores us better than we were before. You can be the hands and feet of God rescuing and restoring these young women when you get involved with Abolition International.
You can help rescue and restore thousands of young girls like Natalia by giving, joining them on the front lines, getting your church to talk about it, and even shopping for handmade items by survivors.
