Mega Millions Winning Numbers
January 5, 2011 by staff
Mega Millions Winning Numbers, (AP) — Thousands of people lined up in 41 states and in Washington, D.C., ahead of the Mega Millions drawing on Tuesday in hopes of buying the winning ticket for the lottery game's $355 million jackpot.
The prize is the fourth largest in U.S. history and the second largest in Mega Millions history, said Arizona Lottery spokeswoman Cindy Esquer. The lottery's prize of $390 million in March 2007 remains the nation's richest on record.
"We got a pretty good, steady flow of traffic as far as buying the tickets goes," said Bill Evans, owner of Beaver Dam Service Station in northwest Arizona. "As the day progresses we'll have a line out the door, I'm sure."
Hundreds of people poured into the tiny Arizona towns of Littlefield and Beaver Dam, crossing into the state from Nevada and Utah, where Mega Millions tickets are not sold.
At Rosie's Cafe on U.S. 93 north of Kingman near the Nevada line, hundreds drove in over the weekend to buy tickets for the Mega Millions game and a repeat was likely Tuesday because of the new Hoover Dam bypass, which opened in October and eases travel across the Nevada-Arizona state line.
"The line was going out the door," with 500 or more in line at times on Saturday and Sunday, said waitress and cashier Christine Millim.
The Mega Millions game is similar to Powerball — players try to win by matching five regular numbers plus the "Mega ball." Tickets cost $1.
Larry White, who bought a ticket in Atlanta, said he would use the money to help his family if he claimed the multimillion dollar prize.
"I'm going to take care of my family — buy them new houses, new cars and travel a little bit," he said.
Others said they would use the money to start foundations, retire or take vacations.
Sheila Twine, in Atlanta, said she would pay off her and her daughter's bills and help people in need.
"With all this money, I could help a lot of people," she said.
The jackpot's cash option works out to about $224 million. Besides the jackpot, prizes range from $2 to $250,000.
The game expanded last year under a cross-selling agreement with Powerball to become available in 41 states and Washington, D.C.
The game's website was down momentarily Tuesday night, around the time that the winning numbers would be posted. Officials stripped the site down to a simple Web page with the logo and the jackpot amount, to help speed connections because of "unprecedented traffic."

The braids look too thin :(00|00|0
Yeah.. Unfortunately I've got very thin hair :(
But I don't really want that to limit the hairstyles I can play around with
- Show AllShow Less
I have! Typically I just do one french braid to hold my hair back, but it's still hella thin 😕
Well if your wanting to grow your hair out, keeping your hair in braids is good. I don't want to be dishonest and tell you that it looks great, but you will look beautiful once your hair grows out and you are able to have thick braids!

After three seasons playing Jason Street on "Friday Night Lights," Scott Porter heads back to high school in the movie "Bandslam." Music isn't new to the actor, whose father was a drummer and his mother a singer. He says music is in his veins.
Football is also in his veins. Porter played wide receiver at Lake Howell High School (Winter Park, Fla.) with future NFL players Kawika Mitchell, Trevor Pryce and Tam Hopkins. ESPNRISE.com talks with Porter about his high school football days and his TV football days, and we uncover his true talent -- beatboxing.
ESPNRISE.com: What were you like in high school?
Scott Porter: Everyone knew me, but I wasn't popular. It was a weird dynamic just because I was in chorus and I would go to All-State competitions with the chorus, and I was on the football team and was a starter on the varsity level for three years. But I was also one of the three guys that headed up the comic book committee in our high school, so it was really weird. I was very geeky and chorus-y and a jock. And so I knew everybody.
RISE: What was it like being an athlete and also being in the choir and into comic books?
Porter: I had moved from Nebraska down to Florida kind of in the middle of middle school, and a lot of the guys that were going to be playing at the high school level were all in Pee Wee already and a lot them were bullies. ... My freshman year of high school wasn't pretty. I got pushed around a lot and got into my fair share of fights that I didn't start. But once we started playing football, and once these guys started to kind of respect me on the field as a teammate, it was weird, they became these protectors for me. I wasn't the biggest guy, you know. But nobody messed with me after that.
RISE: When did you know you wanted to be an actor?
Porter: I never knew that I wanted to be an actor. Coming out of high school I had an a cappella group. And we won "Star Search" coming out of high school pretty young, and we were touring nationally going to colleges. We opened up for *NSYNC on their first national tour, and we tasted some success young. And I was a beatboxer. That was my part in the group. I was a professional beatboxer for seven years.
I went to New York and ended up in an off-Broadway musical called "Altar Boyz" that won some awards, and that was my first acting experience. And my first pilot season, where you go out and audition for TV shows, I booked "Friday Night Lights," and once I read that script I think I knew I wanted to be an actor because it was an amazing script and an amazing story and I think it kind of just sparked it for me.
RISE: What was it like filming the football scenes on "Friday Night Lights?"
Porter: You get suited up, you go out, you learn the plays, you run the play all the way up to the hit, and that's it. Contractually they won't let me get tackled, which we all hated. We all hated not being able to take a lick. It was kind like being back on a team. You go out there in the Texas heat and you have to film a game every two episodes.
But unlike a football game that takes 60 minutes to happen, you're shooting for 12 hours to make sure all of the plays and all of the angles of the plays -- and you have to run at full speed -- to make it look real. I think we did a really good job of having pretty realistic-looking football. I know the play selection is a little off sometimes, but the look of it and the speed of it is pretty great.
RISE: Would you have made the Dillon Panthers football team?
Porter: Yeah, I would have made the team. That sounded cocky. No, I ran a 4.5 40 and I had good hands. I was about 5-foot-10, 5-11. But if you watch "Friday Night Lights," the running backs catch all the passes; they have no wide receivers. So I clearly would have made the team. They need a wide receiver on that show.
RISE: Will we see any of your beatboxing skills in your new movie?
Porter: No, unfortunately. I've tried to beatbox in everything that I've done and I have yet to be successful getting it into a project. I was beatboxing at a pep rally on "Friday Night Lights" and the director came screaming out of the off-set video village where directors like to sit and watch the scenes. He comes screaming out, and I was just keeping the crowd warm. "Jason Street does not beatbox." And he ripped the microphone out of my hands.
RISE: What is the best perk of being an actor?
Porter: I went to the NBA All-Star Game last year, went to the Super Bowl a couple of years ago. I was in the 20th row in the end zone when Plaxico Burress caught the game-winning touchdown against the Patriots. And I'm a Broncos fan and I still didn't care. I was like, "This is amazing. I'm at the Super Bowl."
I walked into the ESPY after-party two years ago and I saw Peyton Manning, and I walked up to him and said, "Congratulations Mr. Manning on your first Super Bowl. I was rooting for you guys." And he turned around to me, looked at me and said, "Congratulations to you."
I said, "Excuse me?" And he goes, "Season 2. I heard you guys got picked up. Can't wait. It's the only show that me and my wife watch together on TV."
I've met a lot of my heroes and it's all because of "Friday Night Lights" that I've been so lucky.

No... that is just fucked up.
We all get angry and we all have our issues, and if someone hurts us, clearly they were hurting first to hurt someone else. Remember, the hurt hurts other people. I don't want others to hurt me, less intentionally, so I do not do it to them. Does that mean I have never been hurt? No... Does that mean I have never hurt someone? No..
But it definitely does mean that I have never intentionally wanted to hurt another person, and I hope no one has ever intentionally ever tried to hurt me either. I guess like attracts like... And if you want people to do good to you, you must do good to them first as well.
And for those who don't do you well.. you stay away and find better people. That's just how it goes. We all make mistakes, but to intentionally make them shows what kind of person you really are... And every time you feel such anger towards someone else that you INTENTIONALLY want to hurt them, maybe you should take a moment to pause, REFLECT and take a GOOD LOOK at yourself and wonder how it is that you have reached such a low point in your life to wish someone bad, why is it that you are so angry that you want to spitefully inflict pain on another human being and why not work and focus on your inner anger and feelings instead of taking it out on someone else.
If someone did you wrong and you want to get back at them, it shows you are just like them. Walk away and NEVER let that person or give power to that person to ever hurt you again - either through their own actions or hurt you by YOU ALLOWING YOURSELF to hurt and hurt others.. That's the same manipulation but in different order... Why give someone such power over you?
I would never want to allow someone to make me hate and feel such negative, destructive feelings to want to do such pain to someone else... But I guess being a good human being takes self reflection and effort to want to be better than someone else, including those who've done you wrong. Maybe by showing and being the better person, that same person who did you wrong could learn as well... That an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind!00|00|0

I told my "best friends" sister that she was being a complete whore in a much worse way than you probably think of. More or less it was that she was sending out a bunch of nude pictures of herself to "friends". Tried to give off the idea that her sister uses her body to manipulate people. Her mom got so pissed off about this she woke her up by choking her the morning after I did this.
ANYWAY a few years later...7 months ago. I found out the "lie" that was supposed to be a lie, completely made up... turned out to be true. I have zero regret about doing it anymore. So now I just use it to make myself a better person which I fail at.00|00|0

Birmingham New Street is a major railway station located in the centre of the city of Birmingham, England. It lies on the Birmingham branch of the West Coast Main Line.
New Street is Birmingham's main railway station, and is a major hub of the British railway system. Due to its central location, railway lines from all over Great Britain run into it including lines to London, Manchester, Scotland, Wales, Bristol, Penzance, Nottingham, Leicester, Shrewsbury and Newcastle.
The station is also a terminus for many local services from throughout the West Midlands conurbation, including the local Cross City railway line, serving Lichfield, Redditch and stations in between. Direct trains run to more stations from New Street than from any other station on the British railway network.
Over 35 million people pass through New Street station every year, making it the busiest major station in the United Kingdom outside London[1]. It is one of 17 British railway stations managed by Network Rail.
New Street station was constructed as a joint station by the London and North Western Railway and the Midland Railway between 1846 and 1854 to replace several earlier unconnected rail termini, the most notable being Curzon Street.
Because it was constructed by two companies, the original New Street Station was effectively two stations built side-by-side. Each company had one half, with a road, Queen's Drive, between them. This led to an inconvenient track layout which restricted capacity. In 1923, the two companies, with others, were grouped into the London, Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS).
The station was completely re-built by the nationalised British Railways in the mid 1960s, when the West Coast Main Line was modernised and electrified. Queen's Drive was lost in the rebuilding, but the name is now carried by a new driveway which serves the car park and a tower block, and is the access route for the station's taxis. The rebuilt station has the Pallasades Shopping Centre and an NCP car park above it. The station and the Pallasades are now somewhat integrated with the Bullring complex, connected by indoor walkways and escalators. Next to the car park Stephenson Tower, a residential tower block was constructed. The Brutalist 1960s corrugated concrete architecture of New Street Signal Box is located to the side of the tracks connected to Navigation Street. It is now a Grade II listed building [1]. An innovative automated public address system, voiced by professional voice artist Phil Sayer has also been introduced, announcing departing trains and other information over loudspeakers around the station.
In 1995, New Street Station caught fire[citation needed] - apparently due to a discarded cigarette end and became the subject of an avant-garde pop record by Samplesonic.
A feasibility study worth £3.9m into the redevelopment of Birmingham New Street Station, known as the Birmingham Gateway Project, was approved on 21 January 2005. A development scheme is anticipated to begin in 2006. [2]

I really hate the way I look.
I hate my hair and I hate my clothes. When I look at everyone from high school they look so different and people tell me that "I haven't changed a bit since high school".
I think a makeover is just what I need to feel better about myself but where do I go to get one (and please don't suggest any tv makeover show).
Most Helpful Girl
Go to a big department story like Macys or Nordstroms. They have makeup counters from the different designers and they hire people to suggest what makeup colors you should wear and usually if you have time to spend they'll sit down and actually do your makeup for you with the right colors. You don't have to buy anything but I suggest you do because you'll learn how to do makeup more and be able to change your look. Yeah usually the makeup is more expensive at department stores rather than like CVS but its definitely worth it. Since you're still young, if you want to go for a more edgy look than if your mall has a MAC store I'd definitely suggest that over department stores. Your makeup will change a lot about how you look.
As for your hair, go to your hairstylist and ask them what they suggest you do. Go for things you don't normally get. Even like a hair color change would be good.
You don't really need to know fashion to wear good clothes. You just need to know what fits and looks good on you. Go to a store and try on a lot of different things, especially things you wouldn't try on. Look in the mirror and then look from your neck down. Ask yourself if you saw this outfit on someone what would you think? Completely pretend like you're not wearing it and see how your reaction is.22|00|0
Thanks for your answer.
I live in the middle of no where so there's no MAC stores. I don't wear any makeup but I would like to. I want to look a lot more girly and feminine.
I've never had a hairstylist, I don't really do anything to my hair except straighten it (which only lasts 1 day until it gets poofy again). Sometimes my mom does my hair, if I beg her but nothing special.
I don't know anything about fashion. All I know is that apparently I have no style. :(
Can I get a "HELL YEAH" for the MAC counter?! :)
Yeh I forgot about the department stores-they'll give you a makeover for free!

Down to the hollow
Chris Shaw and Colin Varndell visit a sheltered garden at Monkton Wyld
Published in September '08
|Small lawns and beds follow the gentle
slope of the garden
The weather was not being kind to Wolverhollow. My first two proposed visits were abandoned in high winds and lashing rain, and the morning of the third did not look at all promising. At last the rain stopped, the skies cleared (albeit grudgingly), so I headed for the west of the county wondering if this window of opportunity would last. Dark clouds piled up over Lyme Bay and winds were definitely gusty as I turned off the A35 just north of Lyme Regis and joined one or two other cars threading their way carefully down the narrow lane to Monkton Wyld.
Wolverhollow is next to St Andrew's Church. There, tucked into a small valley, the garden proved to be remarkably sheltered. Shrubs and perennials that in my Dorchester garden were still deciding whether or not this was late May or a regression to cold, early April were in full flower, enjoying the warmth contained by a high shelter belt of trees. Dave Wiscombe told me that the trees were planted in 1970, when he first marked out this compact plot. A stream runs deep in the hollow and the land dips steeply away from the building, providing a challenge to any gardener. Dave and Mandy have spent the last 25 years planting and expanding, taking in a piece here and a level there, and have now achieved a garden which steps neatly down the slope in a series of narrow terraces all bursting with lovely, interesting plants.
The first indication of the sheltered nature of the garden was a large Chilean lantern tree, Crinodendron hookerianum, absolutely dripping with red, waxy bells. Many had already fallen, making a colourful carpet on the ground. There was a second tree lower down the garden, too, just to prove the point. This showy evergreen needs an acid soil, ideally in woodland where it can see full sun but with its roots cool and shaded. A woodland setting gives protection from hard frosts which can damage new growth and flower buds. Another show-off enjoying the shelter was Abutilon megapotamicum, the trailing abutilon, its strange red and yellow flowers very exotic in appearance compared to the deutzias, cistus, and philadelphus which added gentler colours, the latter blossom wafting delicious scents on the breeze.
|Potentilla nepalensis 'Miss Willmott'
The two upper levels of the garden are divided by a pretty draped rope into a stepped herbaceous border. Lilies, azaleas and clouds of misty mauve thalictrum alternate with clumps of later-flowering perennials. There are some vibrant colour combinations: blue delphiniums, scarlet salvias and yellow daisies. Verbena 'Claret' is the lovely deep colour its name suggests, and Potentilla nepalensis 'Miss Willmott' adds mounds of cherry pink flowers with darker pink centres. Bent and twisted twigs are used as supports for the perennials and blend in naturally, disappearing as the plants grow.
|The trumpets of Triteleia
The useful cranesbill family is well represented. These versatile plants can be easily divided in spring and positioned almost anywhere. Geranium 'Orkney Pink' is as pretty as it sounds. More unusual is Tritelia, its corms pushing up stems of dainty blue trumpet flowers veined in a deeper blue.
Shrubs are the bones of the garden around which more transient planting fills in. Viburnum plicatum f. tomentosum is so decorative, with its frilly white balls of flowers. Deep red weigela is always eye-catching. A striking Cornus kousa has lime-green bracts around its tiny flowers, with foliage that will also give lovely autumn colour. There are clumps of tall, white Libertia grandiflora forming a linking thread between different areas; just what is needed with so much ground to maintain. This is a clump-forming perennial with narrow, leathery leaves and a mass of pretty flowers. It is a native of New Zealand and needs shelter to be fully hardy. The tower of St Andrew's church forms a lovely backdrop to all this and is a reminder of the village beyond.
A stream trickles quietly down the side of the garden through a small orchard, yellow iris and arum lilies flowering among hostas and euphorbias by a small water-lily pond. It then drops steeply through ferns, acers and hydrangeas until it reaches the lowest level where it turns and meanders the full length of the garden, a wonderfully relaxing sound in the dappled shade beneath the trees. The garden here is not ideal for anyone unsteady on their feet, particularly after rain, with steep steps of mossed timber and gravel with gnarled old rooted stumps.
|Ligularia przewalskii, a striking plant
for moist conditions
Paths wind between giant gunnera, eleagnus, huge clumps of bamboo and other lush foliage. Watch out for the remarkably lifelike scarecrows, too. The stream banks are every shade of green spiced up in their seasons by the colours of camellias, fuchsias, rhododendrons and the tall dark stems of Ligularia przewalskii which contrast so well with its yellow flowers. Having traversed the length of the stream, one emerges into sunshine again under more giant gunnera – some of the largest I have ever seen – and a couple of tree ferns (Dicksonia antarctica), with foxgloves completing a perfect woodland scene.
|Draped rope adds to an interesting change in level
There is a gentle ripple of music throughout the garden and where the stream reaches the boundary a large cluster of bamboo chimes hangs above an amphitheatre of candelabra primulas. The view back from here through light and shade is particularly lovely, with a strange timber sculpture against the sun, backed by variegated foliage. Throughout the garden variegated has been balanced with plain, burgundy with green. Some plants are labelled, but essentially this is a garden to wander through and get lost among the variety.
A small meadow has just been planted around a timber chalet, where lots of plants with sword-shaped foliage are getting under way, set off by mown grass. A wild flower area is becoming established, with various buddleias which will attract butterflies once they start to flower. Clematis rampage over fences – the flowers purple, striped and yellow – but a favourite has to be 'Doctor Ruppel', a beautiful deep pink with even deeper pink stripe on flowers up to six inches across.
|Abutilon megapotamicum (trailing abutilon)
Below the bungalow terrace are small lawns hemmed in by shrubs, where old stone walls hold back the soil of the beds. A wide border has been left between the edge of the grass and the walls, filled with slate mulch which keeps weeds down and makes it so much easier to mow and edge. Yellow and white daisies vie for space with the purpley-blue flowers and grey foliage of cerinthe, a bizarre plant that seeds itself freely and forms large, long-lasting clumps. I love it for its unexpected appearance each year, often in just the right place.
It was as I was leaving that I noticed the wine bottle corks used to mulch a potted palm. Such a good idea made me smile, but also gave me pause for thought. When do Dave and Mandy ever having time to stop for a well-earned drink? If they're not doing one season's gardening, they must be preparing for the next. If you would like to enjoy their efforts at Wolverhollow, check with the National Gardens Scheme Yellow Book for opening dates and times.

Sometimes you just need to relax. Whether that means locking yourself in the bathroom and soaking in the tub for 30 minutes or just closing your eyes for 30 seconds. Either way, seems to be more relaxing when you use a little lavender.
Here are some of my favorite lavender products:
1. Lotions to Go ($9.99)
Seriously, I don't leave home without this. It smells divine and I consider this my spa treatment on the go. Use this to moisturize your hands, fingernail cuticles, elbows, lips, etc. Lotion to Go is made with the finest quality organic ingredients and is USDA certified organic and contains no alcohol or preservatives. This small portable tube last an amazing long time.
2. Aura Cacia Aromatherapy Lavender Mist ($7.59)
I spray this on my night gown, bed sheets, blanket, pillow, and even my face. It helps me relax and sleep like a baby. I have also used this as a perfume.
3. EO Lavender Hand Sanitizing Spray ($4.24)
The thing I love about this product is instead of those messy gel based sanitizers this spray goes on clean and light. Organic Lavender Essential Oil is naturally antiseptic so not only does it sanitize but it smells great.
4. Dr. Bronners Lavender Magic Soap
I have used it to hand wash dishes and clothes, in the bath tub, as a shampoo, and even to brush my teeth. Besides using it at home I use it camping and after surfing. If not properly diluted, the soap can be a little drying but it smells great and really gets things clean. Check your local store for the ability to refill your container, saving you money and saving the environment.
5. Weleda Lavender Relaxing Body Oil ($20)
Add a little to your bath or use it as a massage oil either way it smells great. I love to use it right as I get out of the bath tub before patting myself dry.
6. Organic Essence – Lavender Shea Cream ($19.89)
From the same company that makes "Lotions to Go", this lavender shea cream comes in an organic jar that is completely biodegradable! I love to rub this into my feet and put on socks before slipping into bed.
What scents help you relax?
What products do you love that help you relax?
Full Discloser: Organic Essence was kind enough to provide me a sample of their lavender shea cream for testing purposes but I continue to use (and purchase) this product because I love it.

okay, I asked the guy I like on a date. I asked him if he wanted to go see a movie with me or do something else but on a day that he doesn't work. he said that he would love to go out with me and said that he will tell me when. its been a week that I asked him and he has not called me or texted me at all. so I was wondering if I should just be patient and wait another week for him to call me or text me about our date. or should I just give up and accept that he was just playing around with me... PLEASE HELP ME... any advice.. PS. I've never been on a date or asked anyone out.. this is why I don't know what to do...
Most Helpful Girl
A week is too long. His loss!
Unless something horrible happened in his life in that week but if he hasn't even texted/called to say sorry for not getting back to you...seriously consider just moving on. sorry :-/
Thank you for the advice.. it really hurts to hear the truth.. but you are right its better to move on..
Hey, you're still young and it's great that you took the chance. At least you know...it's worse not to take any chances in life. I know how you feel but you'll be okay :)
Thank you very much :). you are right it is worse not to take any chances. I just hope that I will be okay.

Scallion Corn Sticks
Be the first to review
READY IN: 1hr 17mins
Recipe by happy2bme_9_8206787
I found this in the cookbook, "The Glory of Southern Cooking" by James Villas. According to James, most Southerners consider it a sacrilege to add sugar to any cornmeal bread, but I've added a teaspoon to this recipe because that's the way I like it. You really need to bake these in cast iron corn-stick pans.
See Discussion:
Ingredients Nutrition
- 2 cups yellow cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup regular buttermilk
- 1⁄4 cup vegetable shortening, heated slightly
- 4 scallions, minced (white part only)
Directions See How It's Made
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt and stir until well blended.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating the mixture well after each addition.
- Add the buttermilk and stir until well blended, then add the shortening and scallions and stir until smooth.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 500° F.
- Grease two or three cast-iron corn-stick pans and set in the oven until the molds are scorching hot. Spoon the batter into the molds and bake until the tops are golden and crisp, about 10-12 minutes.
- Serve piping hot.

I am trying to find a way to make the office space I have fit two people and work better for me in a IT stand point. (using kvm and work bench ect.) What are some of your current set ups and work spaces? Please attach pictures so I can get a few ideas :)

It would help if we could see what you have to work with.
Nov 10, 2011 at 8:59 UTC
Yes, it would help if we could see what your space looks like.
And it nay help those of us who need to do a major cleanup steal some of the ideas.
Nov 10, 2011 at 9:06 UTC
Here are a couple of ideas that come to mind independent of size.
) For desktop/laptop setup, once I get the OS on the computer, I turn on RDP and connect from my computer so I can finish installing software and making customizations without being in front of the computer. This allows the device to sit on my workbench connected only with a power cord and a network cable.
) If possible, look at the back to back setup where each desk of you and your colleague face away from each other. That way, when one of you needs the other, you can turn around and look at a screen or sheet without having to get up and come around a desk.
) look to put a bench in between you two if possible so you can work on both sides of the table at the same time. This is also helpful if you need to share tools, install media, etc.
) I like using lcd monitor swing arm mounts that are clamped to a table (http:/
) See about 10+ plug power strips (with surge suppression) so you can have one or two (at the most) places to plug in. This usually saves space and makes plugging in a lot easier.
) Consider what you really need and discard redundant and unused equipment (or store it elsewhere). You might not really need a box of OEM install CD's if you can put the files on a network drive. Can you share the CD/DVDs that you need all the time? What about books and papers? Can those be put away to save space?
Let me know if this helps.

Nov 10, 2011 at 9:46 UTC
Thank you for the pictures. I see the issue of the jumble of tables and chairs, all different sizes, etc. You have multiple corners to deal with, so this makes things difficult.
) I see the one short table behind the red chair with folders and binders on it. I also see the wooden shelving that might be a great place to start about more efficient storage. I'd clean off the short table and store the paper elsewhere giving you a clean place to work. Store unused PC's under there and use the top as a workbench.
) See if you can clear out unneeded items from the wooden shelves or form two distinct depths (things you don't need as much go behind things you use a lot).
) Don't be afraid to let go of things you don't really use. Furniture is one of those pieces people cling to thinking "I don't need it now, but I may need it later". If it isn't useful, it might be better to have it carted off or dismantled and stored (legs off table and the whole things shrink wrapped and stored flat) elsewhere. Suddenly floor space opens up and "It would give us so much extra space in our room to do activities."

London, Feb. 18 (Reuters): Hollywood star Nicole Kidman confessed today that she has a phobia of acting and said: Every time I star in a film, I think I cannot act.
Kidman, hotly tipped for an Oscar for her critically acclaimed role in The Hours, said: Ive tried to pull out of almost every one Ive done because of sheer terror.
I can always come up with a list of actresses who would do better and try to convince the director to cast someone else, she told Britains Radio Times magazine. The Australian actress said her parents Anthony, a psychiatrist, and Janelle, a nurse and teacher were certainly not star-struck by her success.
My mother keeps telling me to call it quits, she said. She thinks my nature is too fragile for acting. Shed love it if I was a writer and had a more secluded life. I agree. Kidman said her parents did not even come to the Academy Awards when she was nominated for he role in Moulin Rouge because they were on a bush-walking trek.

Dianna Agron is all the proof you need that bridesmaids really can love their dresses. Forget the horror stories you've heard throughout the ages and feast your eyes upon the Glee alum's stunning look.
The 30-year-old beauty was in the bridal party at the wedding of chef and food stylist pal Megan Mitchell, and donned a devastatingly gorgeous gown to stand by her friend at the altar.
Always so honored to be by your side @chefmeganmitch. I love you. Yesterday was perfect.

This is the Anne Dress from Reformation's wedding collection and it has a price tag of $428. It's a floor-length wrap dress that has floral details at the back waist, a deep-V neckline, high slit, and very open back. Agron chose "flesh," but it also comes in poinsettia, flora, blackberry, midnight, and ivory.

Best Gastroenterologist!
My experience with Dr. Brown was one I'll never forget. I had my first colonoscopy by him. He found a large tumor on my colon and reported that it was probably malignant, of which he was correct. Dr. Brown's bedside manner was excellent! He made me feel at ease, even though I received bad news. He was such a caring person, and I found it very easy to talk to him. I have since recommended people to him....one had a colonoscopy by him recently and found him to be excellent, as well. I truly like this doctor, and I would recommend him to anyone who needs his kind of services. He is outstanding in his field of expertise. We need more doctors like him.

I highly doubt it is going to work out, I'm starting to think it is stupid. I mean, we've met on a dating site and hit it off, but never met each other in real life. Now, even though he took down his profile, there is still a chance for his parents or friends to introduce him to other girls!
I don't think I should put all my eggs into one basket. But is it harder for guys in the military to meet other girls, making LDR okay?
Most Helpful Guy
Military ldrs are different. He doesn't have any control of his life. No it isn't harder to meet someone when you're in. If you get in a relationship with a service member you're doing so knowing there will be periods of separation. These relationships aren't for everybody but millions have made it work and been very happy11|00|0
But we've never met in real life. We have only Skyped, messaged and call. We nearly talk 24/7, and we can't even work because we think about each other too much. We are committed to each other and falling deep for each other. We care about each other. But my concern is mainly his friends introducing some random girl out of the blue while I will have my heart broken. I don't want to cheat on him and we are planning to meet each other next year, but next year seems too long. And I haven't seen other guys as perfect as him. This is so ridiculous! He is in the US and I am in Australia. I can find some military guy locally that is fighting for MY country while he can find some random student pilot. They are everywhere.
- Show AllShow Less
There's always going to be women around. You can't prevent that. If it's meant to be it'll happen. He's thinking the same as you that you could meet or hookup with someone else. You can either handle this or not and if this is too much for you then don't do anymore ldrs
Well, I don't know. Last time, there was an actual threat to our relationship. A really handsome, local fighter pilot. An old flame. Since we had a lot to talk about without explaining, we clicked on really well. We would talk about turnover engines, crosswinds and navigation all day. Aviation dominated our life. Of course, I didn't show my guy. He would be very upset and would feel helpless as well as worthless when he sees a guy he can barely compete with in terms of looks, profession and distance.
I don't know if he is thinking the same thing. But maybe he thinks it's easier for me to cheat or move on since my course is predominantly for men and I am relatively attractive. In the army, there are very few women and he expressed disinterest in the nurses.

As trees shed leaves throughout a life cycle, the leaves fall to the ground. Some leaves can get snagged in bark chips or deposited in flower beds. You'll need to loosen any leaves embedded under damp chips or moist soil before you can remove them.
Things You'll Need
- Rake
- Narrow-headed rake
- Leaf blower
- Trash bags
- Garden gloves
Rake through the bark chips to loosen the leaves embedded between and beneath the chips. Moisture can trap leaves in clumps beneath damp bark chips, requiring force to loosen them.
Use a narrow-headed rake to comb through the flower bed. Keep the rake away from the flowers to avoid injuring them or pulling their roots.
Direct the leaf blower toward the leaves in the bark chips and the flower bed. Blow the leaves into piles. If you have a wall nearby, blow the leaves against the wall to easily create a pile.
Place the leaves into trash bags. Depositing them directly into trash bags is preferable to using a wheelbarrow because, as you work, the wind can blow away the leaves placed into a wheelbarrow.
Wear garden gloves and pick out any leaves that remain in the bark chips and the flower bed. Deposit the leaves in the trash bags.
Tips & Warnings
- Bend at the knees and not at the waist and don't stoop over while raking and using your leaf blower. Stooping while working will lead to back strain.
- Dispose of the trash bag of leaves as dictated by your city or county's trash codes. Many cities and counties only allow yard clippings and leaves to be picked up by trash service on certain days of the month.

The best guide to Vilamoura
How about: Vilamoura Home Page > Vilamoura Sights > Vilamoura's Beaches > 1 week in Vilamoura > Airport to Vilamoura
Vilamoura is one of southern Portugal's finest resort towns - offering so much more than just stunning beaches and a glorious climate. Vilamoura was envisaged in the 1980s as an exclusive beach resort and elite golfing center, and today the town has matured into a stylish and modern holiday destination that boasts celebrated golf courses and outstanding tourist facilities.
The main tourist centre of Vilamoura Portugal
The majority of visitors stay within the trendy marina development, with it's fine restaurants, stylish cocktail bars and chic nightlife, and from here it is only a short stroll to the pristine beaches or drive to the championship grade golf courses.
Vilamoura is unlike any other Portuguese town, gone is the dilapidated charm, replaced with striking perfection, which is simply expected by the super-rich who moor their million dollar yachts in the marina. This guide will provide an introduction to Vilamoura for tourists who are considering a holiday to this wonderful region.
Vilamoura has world class hotels, stunning beaches, and a fantastic tourist centre that is based around the marina complex with its varied selection of excellent restaurants and stylish bars. There is a lot to do within the region including boat tours, waterparks, historic towns to explore, and of course golf. The five 18-hole golf courses make Vilamoura arguably the best location for a golfing holiday in the Algarve.
The eastern edge of the Praia da Falésia beach
The beaches of Vilamoura are beautiful, with soft golden sands and crystal clear sea waters that are safe for families, while the motorised water sports (jet skis, banana boats and parasailing) will entertain "children" of all ages. The Algarve is great for teenagers and older children, who will adore Zoomarine or the waterparks of Aquashow and Slide and Splash.
For those tourists wishing a more cultural holiday could visit the historic city of Faro or the market town of Loule, both of which can be reached independently via the inexpensive bus network. In all, there is a lot to see and do in Vilamoura and for a guide to the major sights and activities of the region please click here.
The fine restaurants of Vilamoura
Portugal is a comparatively inexpensive country; with food, accommodation and transport much cheaper than many of the other established holiday destinations, especially when compared to the Balearic Islands or Greece. Vilamoura has the reputation for exclusivity but is only marginally more expensive than many of the other popular resort towns of the Algarve.
The fishing port of Quarteira is only a short walk away
Vilamoura is suited for visitors who are looking for a refined and stylish holiday destination, with a preference to quality over cost. Vilamoura is great as a family holiday destination as there are many excellent family hotels, while in the town children will be welcomed in all restaurants, shops and cafes.
The beautiful beach of Vilamoura
Vilamoura does not (or want to) attract large groups who are on stag/hen do's or simply looking for a cheap drink holiday, for this sort of holiday head to Albufeira. Certain visitors may find Vilamoura devoid of Portuguese charm and character, this is a purpose built resort town that focuses on outstanding tourist facilities and services. For a more traditional Portuguese holiday location consider the historic city of Lagos or the charming town of Tavira.
Vilamoura has long hot summers, pleasant spring/autumns and winters that are mild but unpredictable with an equal number of bright days as wet days. The height of the tourist season is from July through to August and this is when the beaches are packed and hotels are sold out. June and September tend to be popular months with couples, being outside of the school holidays and without the hordes of children, but there is still fantastic weather and a buzz about the town.
The weather of Vilamoura Portugal
The weather of Vilamoura is suitable for spending time on the beach from mid-May until mid-October and the two ends of the season provide excellent value, with last minute deals and cheaper flights. Tourist facilities in Vilamoura close down for winter at the end of October and fully reopen for Easter. There is a large permanent population in Vilamoura so that most restaurants and cafes in the marina complex stay open year round but during the off-season the region will feel very quiet. The one exception to this is Christmas and New Year, when there is a lively atmosphere.
Vilamoura is one of the best destinations in the Algarve for a golfing holiday and the town is ideal for golfers. In the marina complex there are agencies that rent quality clubs and provide transport to all of the major courses throughout the Algarve. There are five golf courses in Vilamoura and include the Victoria (18holes used for the Portugal Masters), the Old Course (18holes Par 73), Pinhal (18holes Par 72), Millennium (18 holes Par 72) and Laguna (18holes Par 72). All of the golf courses directly in Vilamoura are operated by the Oceanico Golf company and they have a reputation for the highest standards and excellent facilities.
Vilamoura has five wonderful golf courses and is ideal for a golfing holiday
Green fees reflect the quality of the golf courses and are season dependent. Prices in June 2016 range from €137 for a round on the Victoria through to €83 for the Pinhal course. Generally, green fees are at their most expensive during October and November, when the weather is most suited for golf.
The Algarve, and especially Vilamoura is experiencing an unparalleled resurgence with new business opening, massive investment and a re-discovered confidence not seen since the financial crash of 2007. Vilamoura is expecting a spectacular sell-out 2017 summer season with thousands of new couples and families discovering this wonderful holiday destination. This does mean that to secure the best prices, accommodation and flights must be booked far in advance. Fortunately, many of the hotels reserved via the larger booking websites do not require a deposit, therefore negating any monetary penalty if plans are changed. Our advice is, if you are seriously considering a holiday to Vilamoura book accommodation now as the best places will sell out, for a summary of the best hotels in Vilamoura please click here.
The main airport of southern Portugal is Faro airport which is located 25km to the west. Faro is a major airport with flights covering the whole of Europe, but there is a shortage of seats/flights in the summer so always book well in advance to secure the best prices.
Air Tap is the national carrier of Portugal
There is very limited public transport from the airport to Vilamoura and the route requires two bus journeys and takes between 1.5-2hours depending on connections. Most visitors pre-book a transfer and from the airport and these can be a private transfer or shared (mini bus or coach), prices range from €50 for private to €25 for shared. For a guide to traveling from the airport to Vilamoura please click here.
From Vilamoura there are many interesting day trips to the surrounding region and these are all easily accessible by the inexpensive and regular bus network. Popular day trips from Vilamoura include Loule, Faro and Albufeira.
The covered market of Loule
Loule is a bustling market town that is inland from the beach resorts and provides an opportunity to experience normal Portuguese daily life. The town is centred around the North African inspired covered market, which on Saturdays spills out onto the surrounding streets and is the largest market in the Algarve.
The city walls of Loule
Faro is the pretty and historic capital of the Algarve. Faro has a delightful historic centre which is surrounded by ancient Moorish walls, while the city centre is pedestrianised with open air cafes and restaurants. From the harbour there are tours of the Ria Formosa natural park, a series of salt lagoons and waterways that are a haven for migratory birds.
Faro is a historic city
Albufeira is the largest resort town of the Algarve, boasting a beautiful beach and an old town crammed full with countless restaurants, themed bars and shops. Albufeira is a buzzing and hectic town during the summer and has a very different atmosphere to the much trendier Vilamoura.

RPG by Text
Might sound odd, but I've had fun with this before, so I'll throw it out there and see if anyone's interested.
Basically, I'll run a little text-based game via, well, texting or messaging (skype, etc). Think along the lines of Zork, wherein you say what you're doing and the game responds, except it's a person (me) running it so it's a lot more dynamic. It's very much a "just for fun" thing. We can figure out how 'active' you'd want the texting to be.
Pricing is very negotiable, since it depends on things like frequency, activity, and detail wanted. 10 is generally the base for something open ended thatll be done in a few hours.
Training & Qualifications
I've played enough RPGs to make it interesting, I'd like to think.
Availability & Preferences
Most evenings after 6, weekends after noon.

To note, I'm new and still a bit nervous about initiating a message or proposal or whathaveyou, but feel free to contact me!show moreOpen to other proposals
