很高兴再次。 :-)
Hervorrangend! Der Empfang war sehr nett und die Wohnung war genauso wie beschrieben und sehr sauber.
Gerne wieder. :-)
Alles in allem gut. Eine schöne Wohnung in einem der schönsten Stadtviertel in Paris (Sacre-Coeur), aber trotzdem nicht sehr touristisch. Es war alles in der Umgebung für das notwendigste vorhanden (Supermarkt, Bäckerei etc.). Das eine oder andere sollte in der Wohnung aber repariert werden, z.B. die Installationen im Bad. Auch die Elektrik ist ziemlich marode. Im Kinderzimmer sollte auch mal das Stockbett ausgetauscht werden, da es sehr wackelig ist.
Nice clean well equipped apartment. Very friendly hoists. Would recommend to all my friends.
The Oasis is a wonderful and great accomodation. The house is surrounded by Lemon trees and offers a great view to the sea. It is well equipped, clean and very comfortable for Groups/families up to ten. Highly recommanded.
The place shown on the pictures has an open swimming pool. However if you 're in to reading all the small letters in the massive paper work of Inter Home you Will Read That the pool is open from the 15th of June. What à dissapointment for my daughter. Furthermore we had to pay for the bedlinen on top of the cleaning which was counted pro person. And of course because it was cold we had to pay for the heating although in the living room was no heating system, only in the bath and bedroom. The owners were. Ice although when people arrive in the middle of the night due to their flight it would be nice if there would be something to drink. The garden is large and nice decorated so I think in summer when the pool is open it will be a paradise. For myself I think it is deceive that Wimdu puts this booking through a link connecting to another website. In this way you pay a lot more and you don,'t get what is shown on the pictures. I will never book in this manner again because in the end you pay a lot more.
Wonderful place with great hosts. The apartment is spacious and very clean, the beds are big and comfortable, the kitchen is very well equipped and the balcony offers a superb view of Eiger. We will certainly come back again.
nice sunny apartment, close to mountains, ideal for active holidays close to innsbruck and germany.
a bit 90's furnishing but everything clean and usefull.
Thanks a lot
We had a great time. The accommodation was good, room was clean and complete. It had a nice parking garage, a bit small but fine.
It was no problem that we arrived late in the evening (car trouble). The breakfast service was convenient and good. We had a great view of the mountains and we got some great advice about the area from the landlord.
We would recommend this accommodation to everyone who loves nature. But you do have to travel a bit (25min) for the first big supermarket.
Convenient to 3 metro lines; furnished; pictures of small rooms accurate; elevator. Shelves and dishes grimy; very noisy street (major road to airport) during week; no trash cans; smelly towels poorly laundered; some musty smells throughout; no Internet (borrowed from neighbor, though).

The Wakefield Public Library staff pose for a photo at an open house for Eugene Maki Sunday afternoon. The event was held in honor of Maki's 50 years of service on the library board. Pictured are, from left, library director Denise Engel, new board president Lisa Hewitt, board member Bella Schroeder, secretary Pam Bachand and board member Betty Best, with Maki front and center.
WAKEFIELD - The Wakefield Public Library held an open house for former library board president Eugene Maki Sunday afternoon.
Maki served as board president for 50 years, until this past winter when he decided to step down from the position.
"Well, I want to give somebody else a chance," said Maki, "I'll miss everything they have and the people who work here."
"I'll miss his leadership and knowledge of not just our library, but all libraries," said library director Denise Engel. "He's the library's biggest supporter."
"This is a nice library; there isn't much they don't have," Maki said.
Cake and hot cocoa were served at the event.

Members of the city council, including UCLA alumni Paul Koretz, Felipe Fuentes, Gil Cedillo and Jose Huizar, spoke about the Bruins adding #110 to UCLA's all-time best NCAA championship total. UCLA assistant coach Louise Lieberman introduced pivotal players in the championship run - freshman Lauren Kaskie, whose game-winner in double overtime against Stanford in the regular season propelled the championship run; sophomore Taylor Smith, who scored the golden goal at North Carolina to send UCLA to the College Cup; junior Ally Courtnall, who tied the semifinal game with five minutes left in regulation; and junior Rosie White, who scored the winning penalty kick in the semifinal shootout.
The council then presented the Bruins with a proclamation and certificates of congratulations to each of the team members before posing with pictures with the team and Joe Bruin.
Since winning the first NCAA women's soccer championship in program history in June, the Bruins have been recognized on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno, by the Southern California Broadcasters Association, the California Senate and State Assembly, and the Los Angeles City Council.
The 2013 Bruins, coached by first-year head coach Amanda Cromwell, finished the season with a 22-1-3 record and went unbeaten over their last 21 games. They gave up just one goal during the NCAA Tournament and only eight goals all year, leading the nation in goals against average (0.296). In addition to winning the national championship, the team won the Pac-12 title and tied the school record for most victories in a season.

College Hockey:2006-07 Bentley Season Preview
Youth was served at Bentley in 2005-06, as the Falcons' crop of rookies matured throughout the season, culminating in Bentley's first-ever appearance in the conference championship game.
"We're hopeful that the freshmen from last season will continue to improve," said coach Ryan Soderquist. "Plus, I think we have some great new players."
Soderquist says that as Bentley continues to get better — the Falcons posted their best winning percentage in seven years last season — he continues to be able to bring in higher-skilled players.
"With our team and our league continuing to improve, it gives us the opportunity to get a better player," he said. "We still have to battle but we've had some success. To get a player like (Mark) Menzione, who was recruited and had offers from some high-profile schools, was very important for us. We're starting to get in that mix."
Bentley's top four scorers were underclassmen last season: Freshmen Anthony Canzoneri (31 points last season), Jeff Gumaer (16 goals to lead the team),Dain Prewitt (24 points), and sophomore Marc Zwicky (20 points).
The blue line has a more mature look, with junior Jaye Judd and senior Kyle Larman back. Expect senior goaltender Ray Jean to get the bulk of the work in net.
"Jean is our main guy and had a solid season last year (.916 SV%, 2.86 GAA)", said Soderquist. "We expect him to pick up where he left off."
Bentley starts its season with five consecutive road games, including a trip to Air Force. The Falcons will play eight of their first 11 games away from home. Soderquist is proud of his nonconference schedule, which includes Colgate, Princeton, and UNO.
"We've been trying to improve our non-league games each season," he said. "They will help us with what we think will be a very competitive league. We've added two competitive teams to the mix, and last year the standings came down to the last game.
"There were two points separating the top three teams, one point separating four and five, and two points between six through eight. I expect it to happen again this season."

College Hockey:North Dakota Keeps Rolling, Tops St. Cloud
Toews Tallies Twice
GRAND FORKS, N.D. — Two goals by North Dakota sophomore forward David Toews helped the second ranked Fighting Sioux survive a St. Cloud State rally as they posted a 4-2 win over the Huskies at Ralph Engelstad Arena.
In a game of strange bounces and rather peculiar officiating, UND extended its home unbeaten streak to 17 games (14-0-3) and improved its overall record to 7-1-1 (5-1-1 WCHA). The victory enabled the Sioux to remain tied for first with Colorado College in conference standings.
Its a character win, said coach Dave Hakstol, a victory earned after team captain and leading scorer Chay Genoway left the game with an injury late in the second period as the Sioux were clinging to a one-goal lead.
Thats probably a good way to sum it up, Hakstol continued. Its a good two points; its an important two points.
Genoways status for Saturdays game is unknown.
UND jumped out to a 2-0 first period lead off goals by third-line forwards Darcy Zajac and Mario Lamoureux — each tally set up by sophomore defenseman Ben Blood. At 6:23, SCSU freshman goalie Mike Lee stopped Bloods shot from the point, but the rebound went into the slot where Zajac found it and fired it in low stick side.
The Sioux struck again at 13:16 when the 6-4, 220-pound Blood carried the puck deep into the SCSU zone, using his body to protect the puck from Huskies defenseman Garret Raboin. Bloods centering pass from behind the goal line deflected up the slot. Lamoureux got his stick on the puck and shot it through Lees pads, giving the Sioux a 2-0 lead.
A bad first period, was how SCSU coach Bob Motzko summed up the opening stanza. When you fall down 2-0 on the road to this team, youve got yourself a hole. We never recovered.
UND went up 3-0 on a goal by Toews at 7:50 of the second period. He rifled a wrist shot from the top of the left circle off a drop pass by freshman Carter Rowney, beating Lee cleanly short side. The goal stood as the game winner.
Of Toews performance, Hakstol said, Were seeing a continuation of what hes been able to build over the early part of the year. He looks like a very confident player; he looks like a strong player. Were starting to see him do things naturally out there."
Down three goals, the Huskies refused to buckle, and senior forward Ryan Laschs goal at 11:09 energized SCSU. The Sioux killed a penalty, but were tired and unable clear the zone. Lasch threw the puck on goal from behind the net.
A scramble ensued, and Eidsness appeared to cover the puck. But there was no whistle and the puck ended up in back of the net. After a replay review, the goal stood, and Lasch got credit for it.
Hard work by SCSU in UNDs zone resulted in a hooking penalty to Chris VandeVelde. It took the Huskies just 14 seconds to cash in when junior forward Tony Mosey fired in a rebound off Travis Novaks shot from the point to make it a 3-2 game at 16:42.
The game turned ugly with 2:33 left in the period and the Huskies pressing for a tie. After leading a Sioux rush into the SCSU zone, Genoway took a hit along the boards behind the net and lay motionless on the ice for some time before being helped to the locker room by UNDs trainer. He did not return.
Initially, it appeared there would be no penalty assessed on the play. After a scrum broke out and players from both teams were sent to the penalty box, the officials conferred and then gave junior defenseman Chris Hepp a 5-minute major and game misconduct for checking from behind.
However, during the intermission, a tape replay revealed that SCSU junior forward Aaron Marvin was actually the guilty party. The penalty was changed, and Hepp rejoined his team for the third period while Marvin sat out the remainder of the game.
UND appeared disorganized after losing its top defenseman and couldnt generate any good scoring opportunities from 3 minutes of power play time that extended into the third period. But SCSU couldnt take advantage, and the Sioux began to regroup.
Toews gave UND some breathing room with his second goal of the game, scored on the power play at 5:13. Lee stopped a shot from the point by UND defenseman Derrick LaPoint, but gave up a rebound that led to a melee in front of the net. The puck squirted to Toews at the side of the goal where he banked it in off the prone goalies pad to give UND a two-goal lead it wouldnt relinquish.
Actually, I was trying to chip it back door to (Jason) Gregoire, Toews said. I was lucky to get a bounce off (the goalies) leg. Youre always lucky to get those bounce. Ill take that one and run with it.
Hakstol said he wasnt surprised that the Huskies nearly rallied from three goals down.
I give St. Cloud some credit, he said. We knew they were a quick team that would come at us with speed and put puck pressure on us. They did a good job of that.
But in the end, it wasnt enough.
We got back in the game at 3-2, making a cute little story because we did play very hard tonight after the first period, Motzko said. I was really happy with how hard we played.
SCSUs overall record falls to 3-4-2 and 2-2-1 in the WCHA. The two teams will meet for the second game of the series at 7:05 p.m. Saturday in Engelstad Arena.

Dear Experts,
As per my knowledge the reservation which are created through maintenance order will be reflected in MMBE as we save the order, without specific to status of maintenance order.But here in my client it is not happening, instead of this it is getting reflected only after releasing the maintenance order. Reserved quantity of material is getting updated only after releasing the maintenance order.However if I select plant and check for reservation details there it shows all the reservations. But the quantity in Reseved column is getting updated only after releasing the maintenance order.
Please tell me where is the setting for this type of system. Please correct me if I am wrong anywhere.
I wanted the reservation quantity should get updated in MMBE at the moment I save the order. please do the needful.
Thanks & Best regards,

The costume party is preceded by an outdoor bonfire and traditional music of the local gypsy musicians, followed by a multi course meal, and dancing in to the early morning hours.

In support of our ongoing sustainability goals, First Solar reports on a number of selected sustainability performance metrics including our recordable injury rate, energy and water use, waste generation, and greenhouse gas emissions. We continue to build on this commitment and report on metrics that reflect the priority focus areas of First Solar's Sustainability program. Unless otherwise specified, the data includes all of First Solar's manufacturing plants and its major R&D facility.
Since 2008, First Solar has reduced its energy, water, waste, and carbon intensity through improvements in module efficiency, manufacturing throughput, and shifting to full-scale production. Underutilization of production capacity in 2012 resulted in reduced manufacturing efficiency which caused a slight increase in energy intensity. Significant improvements in module efficiency and manufacturing throughput in 2013 resulted in lower energy, water, and waste intensity across our operations. Total energy consumption, water use, and waste production decreased in 2013 with the closure of our European manufacturing operations.
As part of our commitment to extended producer responsibility and responsible lifecycle management, First Solar offers a global and proven industry-leading PV recycling program to further minimize the life cycle impacts of our products. We continuously strive to improve our technology and resource conservation measures to deliver greater economic, social, and environmental benefits globally.
First Solar implements programs and systems to ensure compliance with applicable environmental, health, and safety regulatory requirements. All First Solar manufacturing sites are certified to globally recognized standards: ISO 14001 for Environmental Management, ISO 9001 for Quality and OHSAS 18001 for Occupational Health and Safety.
"Safety First" is a core value at First Solar and we strive to prevent all injuries. First Solar's recordable injury rate¹ (RIR) includes all manufacturing and offices (MFG). The engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) RIR includes PV array construction workers that were contracted by First Solar. An injury is considered recordable if it requires medical attention beyond first aid. Since 2008, significant safety performance improvements at our manufacturing sites resulted in a fivefold decrease in First Solar's recordable injury rate. Since 2009, First Solar EPC contractors reduced their RIR by approximately 65%. In 2011, First Solar's EPC team won CLP's Safety Partner of the Year award in honor of its commitment to safety, extraordinary safety record and safety partnership efforts.
¹The Recordable Injury Rate (RIR) is the number of recordable injuries and illnesses per 200,000 hours of exposure. 200,000 is the number of hours accumulated by 100 employees working 40 hours a week for 50 weeks.
First Solar's waste generation per watt decreased by over 60% since 2009 through increased module and manufacturing efficiency, targeted waste minimization projects, and the closure of our European manufacturing facility in 2012. Underutilization and lower manufacturing throughput in 2011 and 2012 resulted in a higher waste generation intensity. By increasing manufacturing throughput and module efficiency, First Solar's waste intensity significantly decreased in 2013.
*First Solar revised its waste data for previous years as we had been double counting waste that the company recycles.
This graph depicts First Solar's overall waste produced in kilograms (kg) according to type and disposal, including waste generated as a result of the closure of our European manufacturing facility. In 2013, we reduced our absolute waste generation by nearly 20% and decreased the amount of hazardous waste* disposed by approximately 30% through waste minimization projects, increased wastewater recycling, and the closure of our manufacturing facility in Germany. Equipment changes in 2012 resulted in additional scrap metal generation which contributed to the increase in recycled non-hazardous material. First Solar revised its waste data for previous years as we had been double counting waste that the company recycles.
* Hazardous waste is classified according to the definition used by the countries in which we operate.
In 2013, First Solar increased the amount of waste it recycles through wastewater treatment enhancements. In previous years, wastewater at our Malaysia manufacturing facility had to be shipped off-site as waste, increasing the overall amount of waste disposed. By treating the wastewater onsite and recycling it, First Solar is reducing the amount of overall waste disposed. First Solar has recycling facilities that are operational in all of its global manufacturing plants. We recycle modules on-site; both manufacturing line scrap and modules returned from the field. First Solar's state-of-the-art recycling process recovers over 90% of the semiconductor material and 90% of the glass. The glass cullet is reused in new products and the unrefined semiconductor material is sent for further processing to be reused in new modules. Many other manufacturing by-products are recycled. Overall, of the total material First Solar sends off-site, 84% is sent for beneficial reuse, and not to landfill.
This graph depicts First Solar's energy intensity (energy consumption per watt produced) taking into account the beginning of our manufacturing process to finished panel. Our energy intensity decreased by approximately 15% since 2009 due to increased manufacturing throughput and module efficiency. Underutilization of production capacity in 2011 and 2012 led to a slight increase in energy intensity. We strive to reduce our energy intensity through continuous improvements in module and throughput efficiency as well as by implementing energy saving initiatives.
First Solar's manufacturing water consumption per watt produced decreased by over 20% since 2009 through water conservation projects and significant improvements in module efficiency. First solar is reducing its water intensity by implementing projects to both reduce and reuse water. In 2012, First Solar set a target to reduce total water consumption at its manufacturing facility in Malaysia by 8% from 2011 levels. Our facility in Malaysia surpassed its 2012 goal by achieving 8.8% absolute water savings through increased water recycling.
In 2012, First Solar set a goal to reduce its GHG emissions intensity1 by 35% for 2016 from a base year of 2008. This graph depicts direct (scope 1) and indirect (scope 2) emissions of all manufacturing plants, the major R&D facility, EPC-owned construction equipment, and First Solar-owned vehicle fleet on a carbon intensity basis measured per MW produced. Since 2008, First Solar reduced its carbon intensity by over 20% through increased module efficiency and manufacturing throughput. In 2013, First Solar's emissions intensity grew by approximately 2.5% due to underutilization of manufacturing capacity (approximately 77% capacity utilization in 2013) and shifting production from Germany to Malaysia. Despite Malaysia having a more carbon-intensive grid mix than Germany, First Solar successfully managed to mitigate GHG emissions from electricity usage through energy conservation projects.
1 Carbon intensity refers to the amount of CO₂ emissions per unit of energy.
2 National emissions factors are used to calculate indirect emissions from the consumption of grid electricity.
First Solar is currently developing the company's first Sustainability Report in accordance with the Global Reporting Initiative's G4 guidelines. The GRI developed a sustainability reporting framework with indicators that enable organizations to measure their economic, environmental, and social performance. The Key Performance Indicator chart depicts how First Solar performed against a number of key GRI indicators. The GRI performance indicators used in the chart stand for economic (EC), environment (EN), and labor practices (LA).
1 Includes all First Solar manufacturing plants, the major R&D facility, EPC-owned construction equipment, and First Solar-owned vehicle fleet

I've been trying awesome WM for a few months now and i am really enjoying it.
I am now playing around with the
rc.lua file, and I'm searching for a way to do two things.
With the shortcut
mod4+Enter(by default) you create a new terminal. In magnified mode (all floating) the term pops up quite small. I would like to be able to set the default size of a new term, BUT ONLY when it pops up (not when restarting awesome or anything else..)
I've tried to set a rule for that:
awful.rules.rules = { (...) { rule = { class = "URxvt" }, properties = { width = 900, height = 900 } } (...) }
But when i restart awesome it messes up everything :/
Any Idea on how to set a "only-when-pop-up" parameter for that?
I wand to be able to to something like
mod4 + doubleclickon a window to maximize the size of a window (like the maximize button on any window in gnome)
Any idea on how I could do that?

The very best thing about Gotham is its gossamer predilection for magic. It seems a stalwart city, all great hunkering buildings of glass and metal, peopled by humans who live insular quotidian lives tethered to their white iPhone cords and their Lululemon totes and their thinly veiled misanthropy. On its surface, Gotham is solid and real, and every year I live here, it seems to solidify more. It would be a shame to see Gotham take itself seriously, but gravitas seems its future.
Which is why those moments when the magic spins and reels, drunk as dust motes, shine so bright. The movies tell you that so much is possible here in New York City. Here in Gotham, Kris Kringle lives, rival street gangs dance their disputes in primary colors, apes rise to global prominence—or the top of buildings, a young mother comes to love her demon spawn, pigs and frogs marry to packed houses, an abandoned child protects his apartment from robbers—twice. In the movies, Gotham withstands aliens, a giant Stay Puft Marshmallow man, very cold weather, lots of water, vampires, zombies and all manner of technicolor apocalypse. Looking at pop culture, there is no place in America more magic than Manhattan. If you can make it here, you can marry Beyoncé, Marilyn Monroe, or Neil Patrick Harris.
The reality is somewhat more moribund. Magic seems to have diminished as Times Square became sanitized for bourgeois family protection, as bottle service replaced the glorious polymorphously perverse e pluribus unum of Gotham clubs of yore, those halcyon nightlife years when kids dressed in thrift-store leotards, and piled wigs on their heads, and towering in platform boots danced next to demigods. As Gotham has been scrubbed clean of its crime and its spray paint and its desolation, as its rents have grown too damn high, as it has become a place where families wheel their doublewide prams through the Meatpacking District, former home to transvestite whores and the Hellfire Club, the best-natured kink bar ever to house Danny the Wonder Pony, Gotham has grown positively plebian.
Gotham has become place of Gaps and Starbucks and Duane Reades and H&Ms. With each new Best Buy, at every Subway opening, the magic diminishes. When Rawhide closed its doors, the magic diminished. When Odessa shut, when Chelsea Gallery Diner lost its lease, when H&H bagel was evicted, the magic died. As Billy's Topless stopped, when The Baby Doll Lounge closed, when the Harmony went tits up, the magic lost. When the magic loses, it almost always loses to money.
Still, magic lingers. In the crepuscular dark of Metropolitan Opera house, leaning against the red velvet hitching post built for ushers to lean against, my black sweater dress hiked above my delectable ass, my caramel leather boots hugging the sneakers of the very beautiful man whose very beautiful cock was fucking me forcefully from behind, the ethereal voices of a full company singing some two tiers below me echoing in our ears, I was honoring the magic. There is nothing quite so magical as fucking, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
The great burgeoning beauty of living in this very difficult city is that it sometimes gifts you inexpressible beauty. To be fucked standing in the back of the red velvet jewel of the Met Opera house is a gift. It was a cinematographic glory. It beckoned out-of-the-body experience, the rise and fall of these exquisitely trained voices, the harsh bark of the director, the hush of my partner and me, our breath beating in time, and that flush, that perfect electric spark of his singular cock.
He fucked me, there, in the opera house, and it was magic. I knelt before him, swallowing his cock, his metal belt buckle pressing my nose, and it was magic. He fucked me until he came, and he stayed hard, and it was magic. He heard a noise, and it was magic. He pulled me behind a column, and he pressed me against it, and he fucked me more, my cheek rasping raw against the rough fabric, and it was magic. He came again, and it was magic, and we left, wending our way through the house, under the building, through the serpentine hallways, and out into the great heaving gorgeous city, and it was magic.
Later, after a few drinks and a couple of hours of conversation, we took the C train to my apartment, and we fucked again on my bed, curling into 69 like two interlocking commas, fucking hard and long and slow and deeply and coming again, and it was magic. We fit together like subway cars, like brownstones, like the skyline and the sky, and it was magic.
It was magic, and it was more magic and it was magic and magic lives and don't let this great grey cement city ever make you believe that it has gone. It lives, quiet and in hiding, waiting for your hearts to crack wide with joy and life and all that ineffable beauty that must be stolen with love.

How NYC Chefs Are (or Aren't) Prepping for Irene
Carmellini won't get corny on us, but The Hurricane Club will.
You could say that when you're in the restaurant business, every day is a hurricane (albeit with a much sexier name). So it's no surprise that most of our favorite chefs aren't exactly fretting over the storm to come, yet they're not fully in denial either. Here are some specific plans of action, involving the hiding of porcelain pigs, loading up on hundreds of votives, and "calming the fuck down."
Business as Usual, Without Any Schmaltz
Andrew Carmellini of The Dutch and Locanda Verde tells Grub, "The night of the big storm, around Christmas, Locanda had one of it's busiest nights ever. People just showed up and partied. We are going to treat it like any other weekend and hope for the best. We're looking at the schedule now and making a plan for staffing that could be affected by a subway shut down. Chances are there won't be any hurricane specials or 'Come on Irene' remixes on the sound system, though."
Staff on Lockdown
Staffers at Imperial No. 9 are encouraged to stay at the Mondrian Hotel (in which the restaurant is located) for free on Saturday night. And although management tells us that "The Green House is really sturdy," it's too hard to tape up an entire room of glass, thus customers will be seated in the interior dining room only. Also, Chef Talbot has implemented a full menu plan if the city loses power.
Environmentally Savvy
All day Saturday, The Smith and Jane will fill customers' own bottles with their purified water for free, because the the city's water could be shut down.
Attitude is Everything
Cobi Levy at Niko tells us, "First thing, everyone needs to calm the fuck down, we'll survive much like the earthquake that was the equivalent of getting bumped into at a nightclub and the End of the World guy earlier in the summer. While there are clear obstacles to owning a second-floor restaurant, when there are imminent floods and locusts, it's good to be on a perch. I could also just post sushi chefs at the door with knives." On the same dismissive note, the Keith McNally folks say, "Oh please, this is really no big deal."
Everything in Moderation, Including Moderation
Over at WD-50, they tell us, "We did purchase some sandbags as our basement is known to flood. We are moving wines from the lower shelves in our cellar and computer towers up onto desks ... all located in basement. That's it so far." Also, Brian Shebairo, owner of PDT and Crif's, went and bought a bunch of generators from Vermont ... because apparently in New York, it's impossible to find a generator.
Work the Romance and Bribery Angle ... Hard
Brad Farmerie at Public tells Grub, "Bubblewrap and bolting? No way! Public will be open as always — a refuge for those fleeing the storm. We will have a ton of food and about 1000 candles in case the power goes out. We might throw a tarp over the skylights, which will just add to the cozy, romantic feeling that Public already has. I'm actually looking forward to taking extra care of anyone who braves the elements to be with us for brunch or dinner. I'm sure there will be a few extra goodies from the chef to keep everyone in high spirits."
If Anyone Is Neurotic, It Should Be the Deli Owner
The Mile End folks say they're likely closing on Sunday and, "planning to tape window seams and sandbagging the front door and the cellar hatch. Nothing else really to do — If public transportation is cut off, obviously I can't expect staff to arrive. Hopefully we can open Monday morning but likelihood is Tuesday morning."
Milk It, Baby, Milk It
R Lounge in the Renaissance Times Square Hotel (zone-free!) will be hosting its own hurricane party with, "popping popcorn, playing movies, and supplying board games so locals and hotel guests can hang out and watch the storm brew." Also, The Hurricane Club is obviously riding the wave and offering a $29 three course prix fixe on Saturday and Sunday for parties of four or more called "Dinner with Irene."
Hurricane or Not, We're Playing Hooky
Boulud Sud has already decided to close for the day on Sunday, so has Nuela and Ed's Lobster Bar. And it should go unsaid that Mario Batali is gushing about his stormlessness in Michigan.
First Priority: Saving Pigs
François Latapie of Lyon tells Grub, "My first order of business is taking my butcher pig from the Lyon window and hiding him in the basement. It took me months of searching every market from Lyon to Paris to find one like him. I'm also bringing in all my umbrellas to give to our diners who have lost theirs."
Pure FML Mentality
Sarma Melngailis at Pure Food & Wine/One Lucky Duck tell us, "We have a lot to worry about with our basement ... and we're already a low restaurant. It flooded in the dining room less than a couple weeks ago! So worry about so much rain ... our plumber loaned us an extra pump in case of basement flooding. Or even dining room flooding, as we're so low to the ground. We have 70-plus seats in the back patio, so we'll be hauling every table, chair, umbrella, bar stool — everything we can inside. And, though we haven't made it official, it seems sort of inevitable that we'll close ... And I worry about all our windows too ... sorting out what to do about that ... And yeah, doesn't help that Verizon hasn't fixed our fucking phones!!!"
More from the alarmists and unfazed coming up ....

Holm vs. Mathis showdown Dec. 2 to
Determine No. 1 women's boxer in world
'World Dominance' at Route 66 Casino Hotel in Albuquerque
ALBUQUERQUE, NM (October 11, 2011) - They may have taken different routes to get there, but four months after promoter Lenny Fresquez originally announced the December 2nd "World Dominance" showdown at Route 66 Casino Hotel in Albuquerque, it's full steam ahead for Holly "The Preacher's Daughter" Holm andFrench superstar Anne Sophie Mathis to decide who is the best female boxer in the world.
"Holly and Anne Sophie are clearly the top two pound-for-pound women boxers in the world," Fresquez said. "There's nobody left for Holly to fight in North America and Ann Sophie has eliminated the leading contenders in Europe. This is a natural fight to crown the true Queen of Boxing. Between the two of these great fighters, they have won 15 world titles, and are 21-1-1 in fights against world champions. Holly's the No. 1 light welterweight; Anne Sophie's the No. 1 welterweight. It just doesn't get any better than this for fans of women's boxing anticipating this confrontation. ."
Nine-time world champion Holm (30-1-3, 9 KOs) will be seeking to regain her IBA Welterweight title and WBAN Championship Belt in the 10-round main event against six-time world titlist Mathis (25-1, 21 KOs), who is the reigning the WIBA, WIBF and WBF World Welterweight Champion.
"World Dominance," presented by Fresquez Productions, is a modern day match-up of contrasting female prizefighters, showcasing a consummate boxer (southpaw Holm) versus a knockout specialist (Mathis).
A world champion in three different divisions (light welterweight, welterweight and light middleweight), Holly has defeated virtually all of the significant names of the past decade in women's boxing from the 140 through 154-pound classes, including Christy Martin, Mary Jo Sanders, Mia St. John, Jane Couch, Duda Yankovich and Chevelle Hallback (twice). Holm is riding a 24-fight unbeaten streak, dating back to her only pro loss in 2004, when a serious cut under her eye prevented her from continuing to fight.
The 29-year-old Holm sports an amazing 20-0-1 (6 KOs) record in world title fights, in addition to a 14-0-1 mark versus world champions. Her last fight was in mixed martial arts this past September, when she remained unbeaten (2-0, 2 TKOs) by stopping Jan Finney with a devastating kick to the body.
Like Holm, Mathis is another all-around fighter, owning a kickboxing and savate background. She will be fighting outside of Europe for the first time and is currently riding a 24-fight, 16-year win streak since she suffered her only pro loss in her second fight. On Dec. 2nd, she will mark the fifth anniversary of her first world title victory, in which she stopped previously unbeaten Myriam Lamare (13-0) for the WBA crown and vacant EBU championship. Ann Sophie's victims also include world champions Couch, Yankovich, Ana Pascal and Nathalie Toro.
Since the original announcement of "World Dominance," Mathis has fought twice, both times in France. In June, she knocked out previously unbeaten Olivia Boudouma (8-0) in the fifth round, and then won all 10 rounds Oct. 1 against cagey veteran Cindy Serrano (15-3-2).
Fresquez announced the "World Dominance" undercard:
6 Rounds - Featherweights
Joel "Porata" Vargas (3-4-1, 3 KOs), Kansas City, KS
Josh "Pitbull" Torres (5-1-1, 3 KOs), Albuquerque, NM
4 Rounds - Lightweights
Eleazer Loya (pro debut), Albuquerque, NM
Christian Cabral (pro debut), Albuquerque, NM
Edgar Zubia (1-0), Hobbs, NM
Antonio "Tone" Martinez (1-0-1, 1 KO), Espanola, NM
Joel Gonzalez (pro debut), Albuquerque, NM
Antonio Garcia (1-0), Santa Fe, NM
4 Rounds - Featherweights
Matthew Baca (pro debut), Albuquerque, NM
Daniel Gonzalez (pro debut), El Paso, TX
4 Rounds - Bantamweights
Leonardo Sanchez (1-0, Albuquerque, NM
Devon Simmons (pro debut), Albuquerque, NM
4 Rounds - Flyweights
Brandi Montoya (0-2), Albuquerque, NM
Tonia Cravens (2-6-2, 2 KOs)

On Monday night's episode of "Masterchef" the 17 cooks met the judges at the beach on a location ready for a wedding and then Leslie and Francis L. who last week were at the top were given the title of team captains and asked to pick their teams. Once both groups were ready the judges informed them that they would be catering the wedding that would be taking place in a couple of hours.
There would be a scallop appetizer and a sea bass entrée, both teams then were sent to get their menus ready. Francis L. from the get go took charge, designed the menu, gave directions and assignments and his team got to cooking. Leslie on the other hand took everyone's advised and never set his foot on the ground, thus he found himself being ignored and his words lost in the wind, the team was so disorganized that eventually Francis B. took charge and they managed to complete their plates, however, with many bumps along the way. The winning team was the Blue Team, led by Francis L. and subsequently the losing team would need to face the dreaded Pressure Cook challenge. They were told that not all cooks from the losing team would be cooking, only 3 would need to battle it out, Leslie being the captain was asked which members he would chose and he made decisions based on personal reasons rather than cooking ability or lack thereof, and saved himself which everyone thought was cowardice on his part.
The judges had another surprise in store and said that "they" would decide who the bottom 3 were and they were, Leslie, Jordan, and Francis B. and they would need to prepare a steak and fries dish, with the steak being a perfect medium rare and the fries crispy. Leslie claimed to have a lifetime of experience cooking steaks, Francis B. just focused on the task, and Jordan's inexperience was latent as he struggled to remain in the competition. The tasting ensued and chef Ramsay proclaimed Leslie's steak was cooked perfectly, then chef Graham tasted Jordan's and the steak was overcook and the fries somewhat soggy, and chef Bastianich sampled Francis B's dish and his steak was also a bit overcooked but fries were fried perfectly.
And to the chagrin of the cooks in the competition Leslie was proclaimed as the winner with a steak cooked perfectly, Francis B. squeezed through because of his timing on the fries, and that meant that Jordan was sent home because both steak and fries were lacking.
"Masterchef" runs on Monday at 8 p.m. EDT on Fox.

See's Candies Custom Mix | Review
May 24, 2012 by admin - Jennifer
Filed under Reviews
Company: See's Candies
Item Reviewed: Custom Mix Box of Chocolates
I love chocolate, but the one thing I could never get use to was when someone bought me a box of chocolates, or I bought one myself that at least half the box would not get eaten because they were flavors I did not like. See's Candies has come up with a way that will ensure I never have to deal with that again. They now have Custom Mix Boxes.
What is a Custom Mix Box? It is the way to allow you to like every single piece of chocolate in the box. You just click on the Custom Mix link and it takes you to a page where you can see all the candy and get descriptions of each piece and then you can add it to your mix. What I did when I created my custom box was to add all my favorites and then you can add what percentage of the box you want with that type. This allows you to have much more of your favorites on hand to hopefully eat before your family does. I tell you they dug into this box faster than any other time I have had a box of chocolates on the counter. When I asked why I was told that it was because they knew I filled it with all the kinds that they liked too!
I think the Custom Mix being offered by See's Candies is brilliant and now they will be on my list of gifts to buy knowing that I can make it the perfect gift for everyone I know by sending the types of candies they like. Before, when I have given boxes of chocolates to close friends for a holiday or occasion I knew half of it ended up in the trash because it wasn't what they liked, now that won't be a problem anymore and I will relax and know I did not just waste my money! To all my friends and family reading this – guess what you will be getting this year
I HIGHLY recommend checking out the new See's Candies Custom Mix Box today!!!

That's All I Got
this wiki
|That's All I Got
|Survive all of Ellie's jokes
|Trophy Type
That's All I Got is a secret Gold Trophy in The Last of Us. It is triggered after listening to all of Ellie's joke book conversations.
Locations Edit
The joke book conversations are triggered at 5 specific points in the game, and unless you know where and when they will occur you can easily miss them. There are four in the Alone and Forsaken section of the Pittsburgh chapter and one near the end of The Suburbs chapter that follows.
It can sometimes take a while for Ellie to start telling her jokes, so be patient if you are in the correct location and she should start telling them after a minute or two. Note that you have to listen to all of Ellie's jokes on a single difficulty level. If you listen to one on another difficulty level, you won't get the trophy.
Location #1 Edit
You will arrive in an area with multiple abandoned cars, and a bus blocking your path. Three Hunters will climb over the bus and walk towards the area you just came from. Hide behind one of the abandoned cars and wait for them to leave, then approach the bus (but do not climb up on it) and wait for Ellie to tell her jokes.
Location #2 Edit
After passing through the abandoned Security Checkpoint that you reach by climbing over the bus mentioned above, you will see a large book store on your right side that is patrolled by several Hunters. You will need to eliminate all enemies, both outside and inside the building, making sure to eliminate the guard standing by the exit on the second floor last. Once this is done, Joel and Ellie will exchange some small talk. If you stand there long enough (don't run around) she will start to tell jokes. Note: this joke sometimes glitches and Ellie won't pull out her joke book. To solve this, kill yourself with a Molotov and walk over to the couch at the opposite side of the room and wait there.
Location #3 Edit
After the book store section, you will quickly reach a street where there will be a poster on the wall with a fashion model wearing a pink outfit. There will be an optional conversation triggered by this poster that you must start by pressing . After this conversation ends, Ellie will wander around for a couple of minutes and eventually bring out her joke book.
Location #4 Edit
You will enter a Hotel on the right side of the same street where you had the previous joke conversation. There is a ladder in the lobby that can be used to reach the second floor, where you will find the artifact Note to Staff. Reading this will provide you with the combination to a safe behind the counter on the first floor. After returning to the first floor and opening the safe, you will climb back up the ladder to meet with Ellie. When you do this, she will start telling more jokes.
Location #5 Edit
After escaping from Pittsburgh and passing through the Sewers, you will arrive at a street with several abandoned houses. There are 4 optional conversations that must be triggered before Ellie will tell her jokes. To start, go to the house on a curve in the road with a warning painted on the outside. When you stop and look at the house, you will trigger an optional conversation. After this is done, turn around and you will see a house where the outside kitchen wall is missing. Enter the kitchen and a conversation about BBQ will automatically be triggered. Next, walk down the street to the abandoned ice cream truck and trigger an optional conversation about ice cream. Finally, go to the very end of the road (it is a dead end) and wait. After a minute or two Ellie will pull out her joke book and tell the last set of jokes.
List of jokes Edit
- "It doesn't matter how much you push the envelope. It'll still be stationery."
- "What did the Confederate soldiers use to eat off of?
Civil ware...
What did they use to drink with?
Cups. Dixie Cups."
- "I walked into my sister's room and tripped on a bra - it was a booby-trap."
- "A book just fell on my head... I only have my self to blame. Oh, shit! I said it wrong! Okay, okay. A book once fell on my head. I only have my shelf to blame."
- "What is the leading cause of divorce in long-term marriages?
A stalemate."
- "Bakers trade bread recipes on a knead-to-know basis."
- "A moon rock tastes better than an earth rock because it's meteor."
- "A backwards poet writes inverse."

text: I would like this, but I like getting guns as a drop, it doesn't make it fun if you can craft guns and make a good weapon early in the game. Guns are found later in the game for a reason, because they are pretty o.p. and to have a gun that does 5 damage plus the 7 from the bullet or 9 (12-14) It could kill a green slime in one hit if you get lucky (doesn't even have to be critical). with 10 copper bars (Only 30 ore) and 10 iron bars (only 30 ore) it would be easily overpowered and make the game to easy in the beginning. They have bows because it makes it more challenging. They sometimes don't shoot as fast, the velocity isn't as fast, and it's affected by gravity. Some of these guns can already be crafted and your telling him to change them? Some of these are way o.p. Like the last gun... 95 damage, its not even that hard to craft. The Excalibur is harder to craft or the same and it does 47 damage, and its melee. Do you know how o.p. the clockwork assault rifle is in pre-hardmode? way. And making it is to easy. 15 copper, easy. 15 iron, easy. 10 demonite easy, and advanced gun parts, 10 gold... way to easy... you can earn 10 gold from killing the eye of Cthulhu twice.

Teen rocker Diamante recently unveiled her third single of the year to make the Billboard Hot Single's Chart, "Bite Your Kiss", which came in at #3.
The grungy female rock anthem follows the release of "Burns" and "Savage", which hit the charts at #6 and #5, respectively.
Diamante's tracks have a powerful edge to them but at the same time she can slow things down much like she does on the heartfelt ballad "Burns".
Recently, Diamante scored Best Rock Song at the 2014 Indie Music Channel Awards for "Burns" and at only 17, the rocker has also taken home the title of Best Rock Record at the Indie Music Channel Awards two years in a row, as well as wins in the categories of, Best Young Rock Artist, Best Rock Recording, Best Music Video for and the coveted title of Teen Artist of the Year.
She says that she has been surprised by how well "Bite Your Kiss" has been doing, "It's going really, really well and when the song first came out I was surprised because it's kind of a new musical direction than the music I had put out before. Then the video came out and the reactions got even better because people were just so stoked about the video and how real it looked."
Currently, Diamante is working on getting together a EP. Right now, she has four tracks done and ready to go and is looking to get two more tracks together before releasing it.
When asked what she would tell people about her music she shared, "I say it's contemporary rock because it has the contemporary influences of like Paramore and Avril Lavigne and just I guess more modern bands but it also has a throwback feel to it where it's very much like Joan Jett or Debbie Harry with a little bit of Rolling Stones thrown in there. It's just a big mesh of contemporary rock music and oldie rock music."
Along with Joan Jett and Debbie Harry, she says that her biggest influences were Pat Benatar, Stevie Nicks, Led Zeppelin and Guns N' Roses and that she has always listened to a wide variety of music, "I grew up singing pop music and I listen to rap sometimes. I like having that aspect of being surrounded by all kinds of music so that if I like something from a certain type of genre I can incorporate it into my music.
She says that if she had a chance to get out on tour with someone right now she would love for it to be with Tonight Alive, an Australian five-piece pop punk band from Sydney or New York City rock band, The Pretty Reckless, because she feels she would have a great experience out on the road with them.
Growing up in Boston, Diamante listened to a lot of pop, particularly Avril Lavigne who she idolized and Kelly Clarkson, who amazed her with her huge pipes. She actually started out with a musical theater background and says it was definitely a long transition to move over into the rock world, "It was definitely a gradual transformation going from music theater to rock music but I have to say most of my training that I have out on stage now has come from my performing in musical theater. I'm just super glad that I did that for so many years. Musically I started with that and kind of moved over to pop and then over to pop rock and over the years I really pushed to make it edgier and edgier. Yeah, so it wasn't overnight but it's been a good transformation for me."
As far as the music business goes, she says that, "It's challenging for sure. I definitely knew going in that it wasn't going to be easy but I just felt all my life, even before I came out to L.A., that I wanted to do music. I was willing to go through any challenges that were going to get in my way. I just found it intriguing to pursue something that was difficult and maybe that wasn't very rational either!"
Moving forward, she says her biggest goal besides releasing the EP is to get out on tour on a national and international level, "I'd like to do that and maybe open for a bigger band and then in the future be able to head out on my own tour and travel to Asia and Europe. That is my ultimate dream."
When asked what she feels has been the best thing that she has done to move her career forward she says, "Well I've been super lucky to play in really legendary places like the Roxy and the Whisky. I got to perform at Warped Tour two summers ago and that was awesome. I was recently given a premiere from Revolver Magazine and Fuse TV and that was huge for me. I always looked up to them when I was little. Yeah, so just the performances that I've done and the music that I've released with the feedback that I've gotten have all been what I think have been my greatest accomplishments."
One of the most impressive things about Diamante is the control and input that she has had over her own career, "I've made sure to stay an independent artist to this point for that very reason. I wanted to kind of form my own brand and my own music. I mean sometimes it's good to have that criticism and help but too much influence by anyone else on what people think is going to work for you can be negative when you know what is and isn't going to work for you. You have to do what works best for you. That's what's gotten me to this point so far. I'm glad that I've stayed independent up until this point."
When it comes to writing she says that she draws her biggest influence from her own personal experiences, "That's what I really base my songs off of. When something happens to me or someone I know is going through something or when I just want to get something out that's when I sit down and write. I'll write down pages and pages on a certain topic and once I kind of have the idea down I get the music together and start writing to it. Then it just kind of flows because you know what you want to write about. It's not difficult to put it into song form."
Diamante says that the rest of the year is going to be focused on getting the EP out and pushing the "Bite Your Kiss" music video. Once she gets together a new set list of songs it will be time to get out and play more shows, which will certainly include a performance of "Bite Your Kiss, which she says is her favorite song to play live right now because, "It's still new to perform and it has a different energy to it."
Coming up on July 11, she will be playing a show in Pomona, California at the Glass House and then has a show in August in Hollywood at the Avalon.
When asked about her fans, she had some words to share with them, "Thank you guys so much for all the support and for coming to the shows. Keep checking Facebook and Twitter for news updates and be ready for the EP to drop sometime next year. Thanks for watching the videos. Keep commenting, keep sharing and I love you guys so much!"

Mona Dotcom lawyers up
Testy exchanges were made between John Banks' lawyer David Jones QC and witness Kim Dotcom in the Auckland High Court today.
Mr Dotcom was called to give evidence about his apparent electoral donation to Mr Banks' 2010 mayoral campaign. Much of today's questioning of Mr Dotcom centres on his second meeting with Mr Banks during which Mr Dotcom says he was told to write two separate cheques to make up $50,000 in donations.
Mr Banks' lawyer questioned Mr Dotcom over his former convictions and actions as a hacker in his youth, to which Mr Dotcom objected.
The internet tycoon was told by Justice Ed Wylie to only answer the questions asked by Mr Banks' lawyer. Mr Dotcom was told to ask for a break if he felt too upset.
At one point the internet tycoon muttered "I have wondered for some time how all of this is relevant."
"You are a liar, Mr Dotcom," Mr Jones' said, referring to Mr Dotcom's recollections of events at the mansion on the day Mr Dotcom says he ordered for cheques to be made to Mr Banks' campaign.
"You are wrong," Mr Dotcom retorted.
"It is not appropriate for you to engage in argument with Mr Jones," Justice Wylie told Mr Dotcom.
Today's hearing has revealed more about Mr Banks' fallout with Mr Dotcom, following several meetings and parties they both attended. Mr Dotcom says Mr Banks had offered to help him with his residency application, which he declined after taking legal advice. Mr Dotcom also says Mr Banks had attempted to help with OIO approval of several properties, which was originally signed off by Maurice Williamson but later fell through.
Mr Dotcom told the court that following the raid on his home he had asked Mr Banks for help making prison more comfortable. He told the court for a person of his weight sleeping on what was essentially a concrete slab covered by a thin piece of foam was uncomfortable.
"All I wanted was prison staff to take care of my health and treat me humanely," Mr Dotcom told the court. However, the internet tycoon says Mr Banks did not return his call requesting help in prison, and the two had not spoken since.
Mr Jones told the court Mr Dotcom was upset with Mr Banks' actions and was manipulating to "reconstruct" what happened at the mansion that day to his liking.
"I think you are describing the government and not me," Mr Dotcom retorted.
The trial, expected to last two weeks, is for allegedly filing a false electoral return. The Crown claims Mr Banks filed a false return after the 2010 Auckland mayoral election. Under the local government electoral law at the time, it was an offence to list a donor as anonymous if a candidate knew their identity.
The internet tycoon told the court he offered to make a donation of $50,000 on his second meeting with Mr Banks, during which head of security Wayne Tempero was present.
"[Mr Banks] looked very surprised, so did Wayne, they both had big eyes, probably because of the amount."
The case continues and is expected to last two weeks. Mr Dotcom's estranged wife, Mona Dotcom, and former head of security Wayne Tempero are yet to give evidence.
Boag on Banks
Former National Party president Michelle Boag also gave evidence this morning about her involvement in the campaign.
Ms Boag told the court she had known Mr Banks since he first stood for National more than 30 years ago and would count him as a friend, although said they are not close.
The PR consultant described Mr Banks as honest and "very direct and forthright," as well as generous.
She says her primary responsibility during the campaign was fundraising but was also focused on expenditure and the prescribed legal limits.
As she told the District Court, she might have flicked through the donation records but did not have a complete picture.
Ms Boag says in 2009 the initial targeting of individuals to approach for donations was discussed and involved circling names she identified that she could approach in the NBR Rich List 2008.
She described the targeting as a "team effort" between her, Mr Banks and treasurer Lance Hutchinson.
Ms Boag told the court Mr Banks had not mentioned Mr Dotcom to her while they were seeking donations.
"I never knew who Dotcom was until he was arrested."

We truly cannot afford the time to wait for this invention and production. We need solar powered solutions all over the place. If it takes Ford Motor Company to pioneer it, so be it. If it takes Apple Computer's acquiring Tesla, so be it. Let's get moving.
America's energy strategy under the Obama administration has us waiting for 40 years to move away from petroleum. Republicans will have us sinking into the tar pits before they ever consider the move.
America, and the world, needs transformation now, not later.
To catalyze and propel sustainable economies, the world needs inventions, and lots of them. We need to pioneer breakthroughs in storage technology and power production and distribution. We must purge the convoluted capitalists whose prosperity depends upon fossil fuels. Get them out of the political stream and let inventor and innovators in.
As Howard Hughes once said, "It's the way of the future." If government had the correct policy, we would have solar powered cars.
"Ford Motor Company (NYSE:F) Plans To Release Solar Hybrid Concept Car

More parents buying homes for college-bound
Decision points
Here are a few things to consider for parents who are pondering
a college-town home-buying decision for their kid(s):
Freshman restrictions: Some
schools don't allow students to live off campus their first year,
although housing crunches may spawn school-sanctioned exceptions.
Parental ownership of property in town might also get the restriction
waived. Call the university first before making a housing decision.
Also, consider that your freshman child may find it tougher to adjust
to college life while dealing with housing issues.
Cost, equity equation:
Weigh the annual cost of a dorm or apartment in the targeted town
vs. yearly mortgage and insurance payments and upkeep expenses on
a home you might buy. For that home's investment potential, consider
the quality of neighborhood and recent annual appraisal trend. Don't
forget, there is no equity in apartment or dorm rentals.
Economies of scale:
The profit potential is greater if your family has one or more other
kids coming down the college pipeline who are separated in age by
only a handful of years and could share the house, says Coldwell
Banker spokesman Chris Clark.
To sublease or not to sublease:
You can rent out spare bedrooms to other students but make sure
they provide references. "He's a really good guy" might
seem an ample endorsement in your child's mind, but maybe not on
your bottom line.
Home maintenance: "You
would expect your own children would take care of your place,"
says Realtor Moss. But will they? A lawnmower, edger and other equipment
will be needed. Depending on climate and complexity of landscaping
and your kid's school/work schedules, a lawn service might work
Will the kid cook?
Cooking at home will cut costs, but if your student always eats
out, there are still ways to economize. University meal plans, for
example, are usually available to off-campus students.
Furnishings and appliances:
If you don't have family furnishings to spare, arrive a few weeks
before school starts if possible and hit some summer garage or estate
sales. You might time this visit it to coincide with roommate interviews.
As for appliances, the more built-ins, the better.
Transportation: Locate
too far from campus and transportation costs begin to weigh negatively
into the big picture. Ideally, homes not in walking distance to
campus should be near a bus or rail line. If you have to throw a
car into the picture, its payments, parking and insurance can skew
your cost basis.
Bill paying: If your
child is an economics or business major, he or she can probably
be relied upon to make a timely house payment and utility payment
to maintain your fine credit record. But the pitfalls of "probably"
may be worse than the old "assume."
Costs rising fast
In part due to cash-strapped state budgets across the country, college
costs are rising well past the rate of inflation. In 2007-08, four-year
public colleges and universities cost on average $6,185 and private
colleges and universities cost $23,712, according to The College
Board. Those prices are up more than 6 percent from the previous
school year.
At Purdue University, room-and-board costs are $7,930
per year, per student, double occupancy, for 2007-2008. At Reed
College in Portland, Ore., the school estimates room and board costs
of $9,460 for the school year, while at esteemed Johns Hopkins University,
on-campus room and board is estimated at $11,578 for 2007-2008.
Roughly a third of those costs are incurred through the university
cafeteria meal plans.
Don Romanek operates Whitehouse Station, N.J.-based
OffCampusNetwork.com, a nationwide database of rental-property listings
and information and services for landlords. He says he has seen
a huge increase in students seeking to share off-campus accommodations
to offset rising school expenses.
"Students can often share rooms or split the
rent in a single-family house for a lot less money than a college
dorm," he says. "Homeowners are also finding this an advantageous
market, because there is a solid market of tenants looking for housing
near the college.
"The idea of buying a rental property,
holding it for four or more years and having someone you can trust
on the premises to keep an eye on things is an excellent investment
idea," Romanek says.
