I agree, try and avoid the storage unit if living aboard is your long term plan. If you really try and cut down and find you have too much stuff to fit in the boat, then ask a friend to store a couple of boxes, and you will most likely find you never need to look in them again! One big exception might be your tools, if you've just been renovating/remodeling a house, then you might want to find somewhere safe you can store such tools (hopefully with friend/family).
I moved from living alone in a 4 bedroom house, to moving on to a 25' boat with my husband. I feel your pain, the hardest thing for me was giving up my books. But heck, that is what libraries are for, and now I can find most info I need on the internet anyway.
I'd say keep your bowling ball if that is your hobby and you use it regularly - all of us have stuff aboard that nobody else would want to find space for. If you don't actually bowl regularly then get it a new home.
As for photos - I went through 20+ years of photos, tossed the crap, sent "old photo" packages to friends and family full of embarrassing snapshots, and the ones I really didn't want to lose, I scanned into my computer and now only have digitally. I see those photos way more often than I did when they were in the cupboard and they don't take up any space now! (I have backups to be safe), in fact my hard disc backup is the only thing I keep off the boat.
You can do without lots of gadgets in the kitchen and even elsewhere (e.g. your cell phone can also be your alarm clock)
Dump as much of your household electrical appliances as you can, and try and do without, or find manual alternatives if you can't. (Of course there will be exceptions - heating, computer, etc) but the further down that road you go, the longer you can sail/cruise for without returning to the dock (or running the engine). E.g. if you have a laptop, then you probably don't also need a TV (you can watch DVDs, and get the news on line) - but that is a personal choice.
One big difference living aboard is water - it will get in everywhere either from leaks, damp, or condensation - so make sure you invest in plenty of large zip lock bags for out of season clothes, etc. Once you know your boat, I'd also invest in various plastic tubs to store things (this will help organize AND keep dry).
After living aboard a year, go through EVERYTHING again, and dump the stuff that you now know you don't need.
Have fun! :-)

This is why I said that no one knows what we have in Matt Belisle as a MLB starter. He's been okay to start the season, but it could get really ugly with him really fast.
As long as Matt settles down this inning, I'm not too worried. I expect the Reds lefties to generate some offense against Garcia...would have been nice if Griff could have added a little more punch.

I have railed against getting cable TV my entire adult life. I don't want the extra drain on my time, I don't want to pay the money, I have railed against it as a moral decay and as something responsible for the decline of family time and outdoor activity.

Skyjacker Lift Kits
Should you Install a Lift or Leveling Kit?
When your truck rolls off the factory line, it typically had a rear end that's a couple of inches higher than its front end. Leveling kits, like a F150 leveling kit, are going to even out your rig, raising just the front end a couple of inches to become level with the rear end. Lift kits, on the other hand, are designed to lift the entire truck, leaving the rear still a couple of inches higher than the front.
Choosing between lift kits and leveling kits depends primarily on that style you want for your truck as well as its functionality. If you want to put bigger tires on your Ford Ranger, for instance, you can do so with a Ford Ranger lift kit or a leveling kit, if you're not going up in size too much bigger than stock. If you're looking to do some serious off-roading in your Dodge Ram, however, you may be more interested in Dodge Ram lift kits to give your truck the extra all-around ground clearance it needs.

At your next BBQ, create a build-your-own s'mores "bar" where guests customize their very own layered s'mores-inspired desserts, starting with a fluffy Vanilla Marshmallow Creme. In this classic version, we've layered crushed graham crackers with chocolate sauce.
1 jar (7 ounces) marshmallow creme
4 ounces (1/2 package) cream cheese, softened
1 tablespoon McCormick® Pure Vanilla Extract
1 tub (8 ounces) frozen whipped topping, thawed
2 cups coarsely crushed graham crackers, divided
1 cup chocolate sauce, divided
For the Vanilla Marshmallow Creme, beat marshmallow creme, cream cheese and vanilla in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended. Gently stir in whipped topping until well blended.
Spoon 2 tablespoons crushed graham crackers into each of 8 dessert glasses. Layer each glass with 1/4 cup Vanilla Marshmallow Creme, and 2 tablespoons each chocolate sauce and crushed graham crackers. Top each glass with 1/4 cup Vanilla Marshmallow Creme. Garnish with graham crackers and grated chocolate, if desired.
Test Kitchen Tip: For a nutty twist, use 1 tablespoon each crushed graham crackers and chopped peanuts instead of the 2 tablespoons crushed graham crackers in the layers.
Try some of our other variations, including Chocolate Pretzel Social S'mores and Banana Split Social S'mores.

Letters, oh, we get letters, we get letters every day.
And we get a good deal of emails asking why we don't see more of underrated hottie Elizabeth Banks of recent Zack and Miri Make a Porno and 30 Rock fame. Fact is, we just don't see Elizabeth out and about very often to snap candids of her blonde earthly delights, so when we came across this Jason Bell photoshoot, we were reminded of why so many of you have virtual perma-wood for Ms. Banks. She really is such a hidden gem of faptitude. Enjoy.

New London — Revelers with a taste for art — kitschy, quirky and otherwise — filed through the Hygienic Art Galleries on Bank Street for hours Saturday night, shuffling past walls and middle-of-the-room spaces well crammed with pieces to whet all kinds of palates.
Wine — and heat — were abundant, too.
The 35th annual Hygienic show promised to be special from the start, as Hygienic board member and event mainstay James Stidfole looked outside shortly after 7 a.m. to see artists already lined up for what was supposed to be an 8 a.m. registration opening.
"It was so cold, I just said 'Kristin, just open the door,'" Stidfole said, referring to event volunteer Kristin Gates.
Gates, Sherry Stidfole and other volunteers behind the counter were busy throughout the day registering artists and offering hanging wire, a hammer, nails and anything else they needed to hang their pieces.
Artists this year registered 363 pieces for the show, which usually draws more than 400 works of art, visual commentary or political satire.
At one point, someone called Stidfole and asked if an 8-foot piece could be displayed. Two hours into registration time, he doubted there would be enough wall space available for such a piece.
But Dorothy Hall, 72, and her granddaughter, Gracie Benson, 19, of Bolton, weren't discouraged when they arrived at about 10 a.m., both with fairly large paintings. "We don't do anything small," said Hall, who has been exhibiting at the Hygienic for about 30 years.
Benson, a Hygienic rookie, was first to hang her "Swirly Teapot," but when the curved wall posed difficulties for her grandmother's larger piece, the two switched places. Hygienic has few rules, but one of them is that an artist cannot move another artist's work once it has been displayed.
Hall's work featured a black drawing of an intricately patterned doily at the right of the canvas, and destructive bright orange flames to the left. "Blast of the Past" was meant to show that the skill of past generations to create doilies is disappearing.
"Everyone's grandmother used to make these," she said.
Chris DeBiasi chose a spot above a painting of a giant bloodshot eye to hang his wife's elegant photo close-up of the tail light and tailfin of an antique Cadillac, titled "American Dream." Stephanie DeBiasi of Waterford printed the photo on metal, making it as shiny as the car would have been. She has been displaying works at the Hygienic for years, but this was her first photo-on-metal.
DeBiasi talked up the Hygienic to fellow amateur photographer Aaron D. Howe of Glastonbury, to the point where he decided to put in his own piece this year. Howe left the shutter open on his camera to capture the movements of a dancer at his daughter's recent recital. He printed it on canvas for a look that could be mistaken for a painting.
Glancing around at the variety of art amassing in the two-story gallery, Howe found inspiration for his own work.
"I've been taking photos since high school," said Howe, 43. "I've never done anything with them. This is ramping me up here."
Stidfole was pleased with the variety Saturday, but looking around, quickly added: "We need more nudity. We need more political stuff. Come on, people, don't you pay attention to what's happening in the world?"
Stidfole found himself on display on one wall, a charcoal portrait of his face and trademark wild white hair by Roger Beers. Stidfole liked the piece, and said he didn't know the artist. He regularly poses for local art schools in the region.
The title of Hygienic resident artist Kim Abraham's painting "Say No to Pot" could lead you to believe it is a political or social commentary. But the piece depicts two lobsters dancing in a sea of green. Abraham used the lobster theme from the Hygienic's past as a restaurant as her inspiration.
Abraham and seven other residents of the upper stories of the Hygienic building opened their own show Saturday night across the street at Expressiones Cultural Center, also taking from the Hygienic's theme "Salon des Independants" for their show "Salon de Co-dependientes," signifying that these artists depend on the Hygienic for a place to live and work, Abraham said.

Gordon Brown v the National Bullying Helpline
Is Christine Pratt for real?
Is Christine Pratt for real?
by Mehdi Hasan Published
The bullying charities seem to be, er, bullying each other. Bullying UK has called on Christine Pratt, the boss (and founder) of the National Bullying Helpline, to resign. When will Beatbullying and BulliesOut join in on this latest confected controversy?
Actually, (bad) jokes aside, I think Bullying UK is right. This woman Pratt (don't worry, I won't call her a prat; that would be too easy) has no credibility left. How on earth did she think she could reveal confidential information about callers to her helpline, on national television, and expect to get away with it?
One of her patrons, Professor Carey Cooper, has now resigned, saying that she "breached confidentiality", and another patron -- the Tory MP Ann Widdecombe -- has said that the charity should have stayed out of the row. Talking of the Tories, why does Pratt pretend that her numerous links to the Conservative Party don't matter? Is she barking?
Questions have been raised as to whether the NBH is even a functioning charity -- but this, as Adam Bienkov points out, didn't ring "alarm bells at the BBC" over the weekend, as they gave extensive coverage to her claims. Shame on them.
Hillary Clinton once referred to the "vast right-wing conspiracy" behind the attacks on her (philandering) husband. She had a point. So are we now seeing something similar vis-à-vis Brown? I referred to the right-wing echo chamber in a column not long ago and, looking at the Sun's headline today ("The Prime Monster"), I can't help but think I was spot on.
But could this all backfire on the PM's critics, in the style of the Sun/Jacqui Janes/letter-writing "row" back in November? I suspect it might. And as I said on LBC yesterday, and as Jackie Ashley writes in the Guardian today, the idea that anyone out there will change their vote because of Andrew Rawnsley's gossipy book is nonsense.
The Rawnsley allegations about Brown remain exactly that -- allegations. The Cabinet Office has denied that the Cabinet Secretary called for an investigation of the PM's treatment of his staff, and former secretaries like Fiona Gordon have rejected the claims of bullying and mobile-phone-throwing inside No 10.
Meanwhile, one bullying case (from 2008) has been highlighted and proven at a London employment tribunal in recent months -- though largely ignored by the press. The bully? Andy Coulson, the then editor of the News of the World and now chief spinner for the Tory leader, David Cameron.
Downing Street secretaries, beware -- he's heading in your direction!

WhatsApp Messenger
• NO ADDITIONAL FEES: WhatsApp uses your phone's Internet connection (4G/3G/2G/EDGE or Wi-Fi, as available) to message and call friends and family, so you don't have to pay for every message or call.*
• MULTIMEDIA: Send and receive photos, videos, and Voice Messages.
• WHATSAPP CALLING: Call your friends and family using WhatsApp for free, even if they're in another country. WhatsApp calls use your phone's Internet connection rather than your cellular plan's voice minutes.* (Note: you can't access 911 and other emergency service numbers through WhatsApp).

• WHATSAPP WEB: You can also send and receive WhatsApp messages right from your computer's browser.
• NO INTERNATIONAL CHARGES: There's no extra charge to send WhatsApp messages internationally. Chat with your friends around the world and avoid international SMS charges.*
• SAY NO TO USERNAMES AND PINS: Why bother having to remember yet another username or PIN? WhatsApp works with your phone number, just like SMS, and integrates seamlessly with your phone's existing address book.
• ALWAYS LOGGED IN: With WhatsApp, you're always logged in so you don't miss messages. No more confusion about whether you're logged in or logged out.
• QUICKLY CONNECT WITH YOUR CONTACTS: Your address book is used to quickly and easily connect you with your contacts who have WhatsApp so there's no need to add hard-to-remember usernames.
• OFFLINE MESSAGES: Even if you miss your notifications or turn off your phone, WhatsApp will save your recent messages until the next time you use the app.
• AND MUCH MORE: Share your location, exchange contacts, set custom wallpapers and notification sounds, email chat history, broadcast messages to multiple contacts at once, and more!

Obama To Honor Harvey Milk
Famed gay activist was also a Jew
Harvey Milk, the San Francisco gay-rights activist slain in 1978 by a fellow city Supervisor—and, of course, played by Sean Penn in last year's Milk—will receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom. His nephew will accept the honor at the White House on August 12 along with Sen. Ted Kennedy, Sidney Poitier, and other luminaries. Milk is primarily known for his work on behalf of gays, as well as for being the first openly gay non-incumbent elected to public office in America. (Indeed, one very much suspects that Milk's selection for the Medal was driven in part by President Obama's need to shore up gay support, which has waned in recent months; former tennis star and lesbian activist Billie Jean King will also receive it this year). But Milk, originally from Woodmere, N.Y., on Long Island, was also Jewish. Last year, the Forward reported that while Milk had no interest in formal religion, his Jewishness was integral to his "profound sense of himself as an outsider."

Tablet is committed to bringing you the best, smartest, most enlightening and entertaining reporting and writing on Jewish life, all free of charge. We take pride in our community of readers, and are thrilled that you choose to engage with us in a way that is both thoughtful and thought-provoking. But the Internet, for all of its wonders, poses challenges to civilized and constructive discussion, allowing vocal—and, often, anonymous—minorities to drag it down with invective (and worse). Starting today, then, we are asking people who'd like to post comments on the site to pay a nominal fee—less a paywall than a gesture of your own commitment to the cause of great conversation. All proceeds go to helping us bring you the ambitious journalism that brought you here in the first place.
Readers can still interact with us free of charge via Facebook, Twitter, and our other social media channels, or write to us at email@example.com. Each week, we'll select the best letters and publish them in a new letters to the editor feature on the Scroll.
We hope this new largely symbolic measure will help us create a more pleasant and cultivated environment for all of our readers, and, as always, we thank you deeply for your support.
