How to be Frugal.
Back when I was younger, I was known to be extremely careful with my money. I did not spend unnecessarily and was careful with my daily purchases. My weekly allowance would last me for the week with some to spare. This continued on until I was in college where I would live off P12,000 a month. Granted, it was double or triple what most of my fellow college classmates received but with this, I was expected to take care of my utilities, transportation, food, shopping and school expenses. It was like I was given the responsibility of an adult, sans the rent. And it was more than enough. I lived comfortably and could afford night outs every now and then, plus a little vacation over the break. I even managed to pay one semester of my school out of my savings due to the current financial problems my family was facing at the time.
One thing I learnt from this – if I stay home, I save. If I go out, I spend. I still follow the same mantra up until today.
However, things became vastly different when I hit the job market. I was in Real Estate sales, where the allowance was low and you were expected to make money off the commissions you receive from selling property. Objectively speaking, it was a good experience. It's a step below entrepreneurship, which is what I've wanted to do, by relying on your sales skills to ideally make an infinite amount of money. You meet with moneyed people in different walks of life and you learn from them. You set goals and you meet them. You make commissions and live off comfortably.
Better said than done.
One of the main problems this 22-year fresh out of college kid faced is that the company was so bent upon milking their sales force to sell for them that they dangle extravagance in front of you – Don't you want the BMW Mr. Vice President drives? How about the Rolex in his hand? Did you know that we used to shop in Armani and buy shoes from Lacoste? Don't you want that?
Needless to say, our first goal for our commission has been to buy a Rolex or a brand new car. But there was never a long term plan. Everything was based on instant gratification. So, when the money runs out (it doesn't take long) after numerous visits to Rustans, you are forced to look for another sale to set yourself up for another shopping binge. Some at their early 20s were more aware of their finances and held more control. But for the most of us, this was the vicious cycle that we were living. So, it's not impossible that for a person who just make half a million pesos 2 months ago go completely broke and would borrow money from a peer.
I was told by someone who I considered a mentor that companies who dabble in sales do this to force their people to need them. This unnamed Real Estate company is no different. If they taught people how to save and to invest properly, they won't need them in the long run because they'd have their own income stream. It's sad but I don't blame them for encouraging a strategy that benefits their bottom line. I just wished they found a middle ground to help them halt this unhealthy cycle.
I quit after 3 years but stayed in the industry. At this time, my family was doing better but my handle on money still wasn't good enough. There came a point when I became complacent and began spending without really noting down the expenses. I just had to make sure there was enough in my bank account but no long term plan on how to make the money grown to sustain my lifestyle.
Then, another turning point came. When my dad resigned from his job and decided to place most of our savings in a fish farm that failed, I scrambled for money to help out. My savings, the one that I expected to help sustain me for a couple of months in case anything happened vanished into thin air. I was forced to double up my work efforts and be extremely careful with money. And prayer became my haven. Granted, it was difficult but it was from this experience that I began to understand the concept of making money, saving money and most importantly, investing money.
Things a much better now and I'd like to believe that my prayers and efforts helped. The best thing that came out of this was that I realized that working for money is not enough. If it is directly proportional to your physical or mental effort that when you finally receive compensation, you justify spending that you deserve it anyway. When I began investing properly, I realize that every money I saw can be placed in an investment that would give me a good return in the future. That trip to Bangkok? I can double the money in a year. That Chanel bag? I can buy a condominium in 2 years if I choose to invest it instead. And it is through this tradeoffs that I learnt to be frugal.
I still have a long way to go but I get it now. You learn of cost vs. opportunity. You learn of delayed gratification. And you know what, when it pays off, it is worth the wait.

Amazon do them and here's a link. Looking at the reviews is recommended.
I've used Hama ones in my Nikon D300 without any issues and life seems to be similar to the original Nikon one. That said, many will trot out the line about paying hundreds or thousands for a camera and then skimping on batteries. I guess there is a risk from no-name brands that they may damage the camera.
Quote: then skimping on batteries
LOL Well there is that for sure, But beware that some 3rd party options may damage your camera, Its your choice and Canon and other makers will not offer warranty claims, If they suspect damage has been caused by using 3rd party batteries....!!!!!!!!!
That said, This lot have a good reputation for their 3rd party products, So it might be worth a try, Again your choice.
Good luck...
There are only a few factories globally producing these batteries, so in many cases the OEM battery will be produced on the same site and maybe even on the same line as non OEM. As in most things in life you normally pay a premium for the 'designer' name. I personally would always buy a reputable 'compatible' at 50-75% of the cost of the original and save the 'designer' premium. Each to their own though.
If you choose a reputable make from a reputable supplier then you should be OK.
Branded batteries can be fakes, so be careful when buying from eBay.
Back in the good old days, we used to get batteries for our Hasselblad ELM from the local Varta distributor. Exactly the same item as the Hasselblad product, which came from the same factory in Somerset, but one sixth of the price.
I have used 7 dayshop batteries in two DSLR's for years and never a problem, they work just as good as Canons own
I have a 7D and bought a spare from Duracell Direct and havent had any issues with it at all.

The Ring of Red game on Saturday was more like a ring of doom for the visiting Syracuse Orange. After the Orange led at halftime 17-14, the Bearcats returned in the second half to outscore their conference foes 21-7 in Nippert Stadium. Though, it was a team effort, one man accounted for most of the points that snapped the Bearcats losing streak on Saturday.
UC senior running back George Winn rushed for 165 yards and three touchdowns in the win against Syracuse. He wasn't done there, though. Winn couldn't be happy with just running the ball into the end zone. He also decided to get in on the quarterback action. Winn padded his stats with a fourth touchdown against the Orange on a 37 yard pass to tight end Travis Kelce, aiding the Bearcats on their way to a 35-24 win over Syracuse.
Winn finished with 202 yards of total offense and enters this week's game against Temple as the Big East rushing leader with an average of 112.1 yards per game. Not only are opposing teams taking notice of the senior running back, the Big East is recognizing Winn's achievements too. George Winn was named the Big East Conference Football Offensive Player of the Week for his performance against the Orange.
George is something special and he continues to be great in every game. He and the Bearcats will take to the field again for another noon game on Saturday in Philadelphia. They will take on the Owls of Temple. Temple comes into the matchup at 3-5, while Cincinnati holds a record of 6-2.

Kenta Kobayashi (小林 健太 Kobayashi Kenta?, born March 12, 1981),[2] best known by his ring name Kenta (stylized in all capital letters), is a Japanese professional wrestler. He is currently signed to the American professional wrestling promotion WWE, where he works in its developmental territory NXT under the ring name Hideo Itami. He is best known for working for Pro Wrestling Noah, where he is a former one-time Global Honored Crown (GHC) Heavyweight Champion, three-time GHC Junior Heavyweight and one-time GHC Tag Team Champion.[6] He was also the winner of the 2012 Global League and the 2013 Global Tag League tournaments. A former amateur kickboxer, Kobayashi's wrestling style is based upon strong kicks and strikes.
In professional wrestling, Kobayashi has won several championships in his career: the GHC Junior Heavyweight Championship, which he held on three occasions, as well as being one half of the GHC Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Champions twice; once was the inaugural reign with longtime partner and rival, Naomichi Marufuji, which saw the two hold the title for almost two years, as well as a reign with protégé, Taiji Ishimori.[7]
After starting his career in All Japan Pro Wrestling (AJPW), Kobayashi's home promotion is considered to be Noah, his destination following the departure of wrestlers from AJPW,[8] but due to Noah's involvement in the Global Professional Wrestling Alliance, a global organization of cooperative promotions that allow their competitors to travel abroad to other companies, he has wrestled extensively in previous years in American promotion Ring of Honor (ROH).[9]
He initially wrestled under his real name, but due to potential confusion with his mentor Kenta Kobashi (in both English and Japanese), he dropped his surname and began only using his given name, which he spells with Roman letters in all capitals.[1]

Professional wrestling career[edit]
All Japan Pro Wrestling (2000)[edit]
Prior to wrestling professionally, Kobayashi had a variety of athletic backgrounds, practicing baseball and kickboxing; the latter came to be a strong foundation in his wrestling style often referred to as shoot style.[3] Kobayashi made his professional wrestling debut on May 24, 2000 against future ally and rival, Naomichi Marufuji, in All Japan Pro Wrestling (AJPW) to compete in their junior heavyweight division. He did not remain in the company long as Mitsuharu Misawa, acting president of AJPW, decided to secede from the company following a dispute with other forces, thus leading to Misawa forming his own company, Pro Wrestling Noah.[10]
Pro Wrestling Noah[edit]
Early appearances and Burning (2000–2003)[edit]
One of Misawa's focuses in his new promotion was the junior heavyweight division, which never was treated with high regard in AJPW despite the successes in other promotions. Being sidelined with injuries for the majority of Noah's first year of operation, Kobayashi made his return in July 2001, simply named Kenta.[10]
Kenta's first involvement in a championship situation came when Naomichi Marufuji was forced to vacate the GHC Junior Heavyweight Championship after suffering a knee injury;[11] Kenta entered into the tournament held to determine a new champion. He advanced to the finals by defeating Kotaro Suzuki and Tsuyoshi Kikuchi before losing to Yoshinobu Kanemaru on the Navigation with Breeze Tour.[12] Following his relative success in the tournament, Kenta had an increase in his popularity, and he joined his mentor, Kenta Kobashi, in his faction, Burning.[1]
Junior Heavyweight Championship success (2003–2011)[edit]
March 1, 2003 saw Kenta team with Naomichi Marufuji for the first time against Makoto Hashi and Yoshinobu Kanemaru in a winning effort. They began teaming regularly as the two entered into a tournament to christen the first GHC Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Champions during the company's Accomplish Our Third Navigation tour; they went to win the tournament by defeating junior heavyweight veterans Jushin Liger and Takehiro Murahama in the finals on July 16.[7] While defending the tag title, Kenta continued his venture in hopes of winning the GHC Junior Heavyweight title once again on November 30, 2003, in an unsuccessful bid against Takashi Sugiura.[13]
As part of a reward for the way Kenta performed, he earned himself a trial series of seven matches going into the next year, seeing Kenta able to challenge more established stars in an attempt to elevate his status in the wrestling world. Kenta began his trial series on the First Navigation tour, beating Juventud Guerrera. This was followed by defeats against Yoshinari Ogawa and Jun Akiyama. The final match of the series was a loss against Marufuji in October.[10] While the series was taking place, Kenta and Marufuji made more defenses of their title, against a number of challengers: El Samurai and Ryusuke Taguchi, Yoshinari Ogawa and Kotaro Suzuki, Suzuki and Ricky Marvin, Marvin and Suwa and, on Noah's first Tokyo Dome show, against Kendo Kashin and Takashi Sugiura. Their reign as champions came to an end after almost two years by Kanemaru and Sugiura after the latter pinned Kenta.[13]
Kenta's first major rivalry in singles competition began in March 2005 following a dispute with SUWA, which led to a series of confrontations between the two, including a violent match that ended in his opponent getting disqualified for assaulting the referee.[14] This led to Kenta getting one more chance to challenge for the Junior Heavyweight title against Yoshinobu Kanemaru on July 18, which saw him win the title.[1] He made his first defense two months later against Suwa, then against Kotaro Suzuki as his alter ego, Mushiking Terry. Simultaneously, Kenta began teaming with Katsuyori Shibata as The Takeover, challenging for the GHC Tag Team Championship, the heavyweight version of the company's tag team title.[15]
On March 5, 2006, Kenta faced a major challenge in Kenta Kobashi, which saw him lose following a Burning Hammer.[5] This was followed by a loss of the Junior Heavyweight title on June 4 to Takashi Sugiura.[1] This saw Kenta shift his attention to the GHC Heavyweight Championship, challenging Naomichi Marufuji, losing in a match which won numerous awards and accolades from the wrestling media.[5]
Kenta spent the majority of his 2007 time in Noah wrestling a variety of tag team and six-man tag team matches with protégé Taiji Ishimori and Akitoshi Saito as partners. He saw most of his success with Ishimori as the two would have critically acclaimed matches against a wide variety of competitors, including Ring of Honor (ROH) competitors on loan to the company due to the talent exchange agreement, the Global Professional Wrestling Alliance (GPWA), between ROH and Noah: the Briscoe Brothers, Davey Richards, and Bryan Danielson.[1] As Kenta and Ishimori progressed as a unit, they entered the first NTV Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Tournament; in the finals they beat Marufuji and Kota Ibushi to win the tournament. They later challenged the GHC Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Champions, Dragon Gate wrestlers BxB Hulk & Shingo Takagi, in a winning effort before losing them to Yoshinobu Kanemaru and Kotaro Suzuki,[16] only to defeat the team to win the second NTV Junior Heavyweight Tag Team League Tournament.[17]
Following his loss of the tag title, Kenta returned to competing in singles competition by defeating Bryan Danielson for his second GHC Junior Heavyweight Championship, which led to a match with Marufuji, who had won the World Junior Heavyweight Championship, to attempt to unify the titles; the match ended in a sixty-minute draw, keeping the titles in the hands of their respective holder, while gaining favorable reviews for their efforts by the media with some claiming it to be a Match of the Year.[18] Kenta lost the title in February 2009 to rival in their interpromotional rivalry with another member of the GPWA in the Kensuke Office, Katsuhiko Nakajima, only to win it back in the next month.[19] In October Kobayashi was forced to vacate the title after suffering a knee injury, which would keep him sidelined for over seven months.[20]
Kobayashi made his return from injury on June 6, 2010, losing to Naomichi Marufuji in a GHC Junior Heavyweight Championship number one contender's match.[21] On October 30, 2010, Kenta and Atsushi Aoki defeated Roderick Strong and Eddie Edwards in the finals of a tournament to win the 2010 Nippon TV Cup Junior Heavyweight Tag League.[22] As a result, Kenta and Aoki received a shot at the GHC Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship, but were defeated by the champions, New Japan Pro Wrestling representatives Koji Kanemoto and Tiger Mask IV, on November 23, 2010.[23] On January 29, 2011 Kenta would turn heel and join the Disobey stable with members Mohammed Yone, Yoshinobu Kanemaru and Genba Hirayanagi. Kenta would change his look and attitude. Then on March 5, 2011 he would turn on Mohammed Yone, removing him from the group. One week later, March 12, he would rename the stable No Mercy (NMC) after the album of T.I. as he is a fan of him and the album. On May 25 Kenta and Yoshinobu Kanemaru defeated Atsushi Aoki and Kotaro Suzuki of the ANMU stable to win the vacant GHC Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship. After months of trying to persuade his mentor Yoshihiro Takayama to join No Mercy, on June 26 Takayama turned on his partner Takuma Sano during a tag match against Kenta and Kanemaru and would become the fourth member of the group. Kenta and Kanemaru would then make it to the finals of the Junior Tag League on July 30. They would lose to Atsushi Aoki and Kotaro Suzuki. Then on August 18, 2011 Kenta and Yoshihiro Takayama would win the Noah 2 Day Tag Team Tournament. On August 24, Kenta and Kanemaru successfully defended their tag title against Aoki and Suzuki, who got the shot due to their victory in the Junior Tag League. On September 23, Kenta would confront GHC Heavyweight Champion Go Shiozaki after he defeated Takayama to retain the title. Kenta let it be known that he wanted the title and got a number one contender's match with Takashi Sugiura. On October 10, Kenta would defeat Sugiura and earn a shot against Go Shiozaki set for November 27. Kenta and Kanemaru would finally lose the GHC Junior Heavyweight tag title to Aoki and Suzuki on October 16, 2011.
Transition to the heavyweight division (2011–2013)[edit]
At Noah's Halloween show on October 31, 2011, Kenta would continue his path on becoming a heavyweight by challenging the NJPW team Bad Intentions (Giant Bernard and Karl Anderson) for the GHC Heavyweight tag belts with Yoshihiro Takayama. The match was set for 2012, but would never happen due to injury. In November Kenta entered Noah's Global Tag League and developed a new submission move he called "Game Over" to help him dispatch heavyweights. Kenta would make it to the finals on November 20, but would lose to Takeshi Morishima. On November 27, he would lose to Go Shiozaki in his GHC Heavyweight title shot. In December 2011, Kenta tore his ACL again, forcing him to undergo another surgery to repair it. It was announced that he would be out of action for six to seven months. Tokyo Sports would then name Kenta the 2011 Technical Wrestler of the Year. Despite his injury, Kenta would stay in Noah and manage No Mercy during his injury. On February 14, 2012 Kenta would recruit Shuhei Taniguchi as the fifth member of No Mercy and change his name to Maybach, becoming his mouthpiece and talking for him.
Kenta made his in-ring return on July 22, 2012, losing to Naomichi Marufuji. On October 8, Kenta and Maybach Taniguchi defeated Magnus and Samoa Joe to win the GHC Tag Team Championship for the first time.[24] However, they lost the title to Akitoshi Saito and Go Shiozaki just eighteen days later.[25] On November 23, Kenta won the 2012 Global League Tournament.[26]
Heavyweight Champion (2013–2014)[edit]
On January 27, 2013, Kenta defeated Takeshi Morishima for the GHC Heavyweight Championship at Great Voyage 2013.[27] On February 9, Maybach Taniguchi turned on Kenta and stole his Heavyweight Championship belt.[28] The following week, Kenta took part in a South American tour with the Alianza Latinoamericana de Lucha Libre (AULL) promotion, during which he won the Torneo Latino Americano de Lucha Libre, defeating Super Crazy in the finals.[29][30] On March 10, Kenta defeated Maybach Taniguchi for his first successful defense of the GHC Heavyweight Championship.[31] On April 28, Kenta and Yoshihiro Takayama defeated Katsuhiko Nakajima and Kensuke Sasaki in the finals to win the 2013 Global Tag League.[32] On May 11, Kenta took part in Kenta Kobashi's retirement match, where he, Go Shiozaki, Maybach Taniguchi and Yoshinobu Kanemaru were defeated by Kobashi, Jun Akiyama, Keiji Mutoh and Kensuke Sasaki.[33] The following day, Kenta made his second successful defense of the GHC Heavyweight Championship against Takashi Sugiura.[34] On June 2, Kenta defeated New Japan Pro Wrestling representative and reigning GHC Tag Team Champion Toru Yano for his third successful title defense.[35] Six days later, Kenta was pinned by Yano in a GHC Tag Team Championship match, where he and Yoshihiro Takayama unsuccessfully challenged Yano and Takashi Iizuka.[36] On July 7, Kenta made his fourth successful defense of the GHC Heavyweight Championship against Naomichi Marufuji.[37] Kenta's fifth successful title defense took place on August 4, when he defeated Mohammed Yone.[38] Next Kenta defended his title against the reigning GHC Tag Team Champions, first defeating Shane Haste on September 7 and then Mikey Nicholls on September 16.[39][40] On October 5, Kenta defeated Diamond Ring representative Katsuhiko Nakajima for his eighth successful title defense.[41] With the win, Kenta became the first wrestler to successfully defend the GHC Heavyweight Championship eight times during a calendar year.[42] On December 7, Kenta defeated New Japan representative and winner of the 2013 Global League Tournament, Yuji Nagata, for his ninth successful title defense.[43] Kenta's near one-year long reign ended on January 5, 2014, when he lost the title to Takeshi Morishima in his tenth defense.[44]
On February 3, 2014, Kenta and Maybach Taniguchi's long rivalry culminated in a No Disqualification match, where Kenta was victorious.[45] After Yuji Nagata had defeated Morishima to become the GHC Heavyweight Champion, Kenta received the first shot at the new champion, but was defeated in the title match on February 22.[46] On April 30, Noah held a press conference during which Kenta announced his resignation from the promotion.[47][48][49] Kenta wrestled his farewell match on May 17, where he and Naomichi Marufuji defeated Katsuhiko Nakajima and Takashi Sugiura.[50]
Ring of Honor[edit]
Aside from competing in Pro Wrestling Noah, Kenta has been able to compete abroad in the United States with other participating members of the GPWA. His first appearance in the country was with Ring of Honor, at Final Battle 2005, as a fan favorite, defending the GHC Junior Heavyweight title against Low Ki.[51] He returned to the company the following year for Best in the World in New York City on March 25 where he and Naomichi Marufuji defeated the team of Samoa Joe and ROH World champion Bryan Danielson after Kenta connected with his finishing strike, the Go 2 Sleep on Danielson.[52] Kenta returned for In Your Face featuring him in a three-way match against Joe and Danielson, which ended in similar fashion.[53]
Kenta's first loss in the company came in the form of a tag team match, which saw his partner, Davey Richards, get pinned in a match against the Briscoe Brothers.[54] This led to a series of matches with the two against each other, as well as reluctant partners.[55][56] At Glory by Honor V: Night 2 Kenta received another match against Danielson for the ROH World title, which saw him submit to Danielson's signature hold, the Cattle Mutilation.[57]
Kenta made his return to Ring of Honor on May 11 of the next year against Delirious in a winning effort.[58] Ring of Honor made its pay per view debut with the show, Respect is Earned, teaming with Nigel McGuinness against Danielson and Takeshi Morishima in a losing effort; following the match, Kenta spent several months with the company competing against rival, Davey Richards and his contingency, the No Remorse Corps. Kenta made his next appearance on the Glory By Honor VI tour; the first night had him team with the GHC Heavyweight Champion Mitsuharu Misawa against Takeshi Morishima and Naomichi Marufuji, with the match ending in a thirty-minute time limit draw.[59] The following night had Kenta wrestle Misawa for the GHC Heavyweight Championship in a losing effort.[60]
Kenta made his return in 2009 against ROH World Champion, Nigel McGuinness in a losing effort at the company's seventh anniversary show. He returned a few weeks later to challenge Davey Richards once more, as well as make his second pay per view appearance for Take No Prisoners teaming with Tyler Black against Katsuhiko Nakajima and Austin Aries.[61] Kobayashi was scheduled to return to ROH in November 2009, but was forced to cancel the appearances after suffering a knee injury.[62]
NXT (2014–present)[edit]
On January 27, 2014, Kenta, with Noah's blessing, entered WWE's Performance Center in Orlando, Florida for a tryout.[63][64] In a press release, Kenta claimed that he was not after a WWE contract, but only wanted to fulfill a dream and take part in a WWE workout.[65] On June 27, Tokyo Sports reported that Kenta had signed with WWE and that the signing would be officially announced on July 12.[66][67] During WWE's July 12 event in Osaka, the promotion officially announced the signing of Kenta during an in-ring segment with Hulk Hogan and Jimmy Hart. Kobayashi relocated to Orlando to resume training at the Performance Center, while also working for WWE's developmental territory NXT.[68]
Kobayashi debuted on September 11 at NXT Takeover: Fatal 4-Way, introduced by William Regal. At the event of his debut, he announced his new ring name, Hideo Itami, and fended off The Ascension, when they interrupted the segment to confront Regal.[4] Itami made his in-ring debut at the following day's tapings of the September 18 NXT, defeating Justin Gabriel, after which he was attacked by The Ascension.[69][70]

One More Year, One Hundred Dollars:
What Would You Do?
About a year ago, I started entertaining serious thoughts of moving away from San Francisco. Ever since, though I've tried to take good care of my apartment, my heart just hasn't been in it. Now it looks as if I'll be here at least another year, and I'd like to enjoy that time in my little home as much as possible. What improvements can I make for $100? What would you do?
The number one thing on my wish list is a deep clean. After six years here, this apartment could use a thorough cleaning by someone who sees it with fresh eyes and won't get depressed or distracted a fourth of the way through the project. I contacted Organic Breeze Eco-Cleaning in Oakland, CA, and they gave me a quote of $80 to deep clean my entire studio apartment. That seems like such a steal, but it does eat up a huge portion of my budget. I might look around a bit more. Have you ever had your house professionally cleaned before? I haven't, and I'm a bit shy to have it done. But oh, it sounds so lovely & luxurious.
Next, I think I might work on getting more art onto my walls. For my last birthday, I received two magical gifts of art: the Fantastic Mr. Fox print that I featured on Bad Dads 2011: A Celebration of Wes Anderson and my favorite diptych from my friend Leah Rosenberg's show "Time Will Tell". A little tip for those of you with artist friends: always mention which piece is your favorite, just in case. The gift of Mr. Fox generously included an antique frame, so I just need to cut a mat ($15 for a large piece of archival mat board). For the diptych, I'm thinking of getting something like the Ikea Ribba frame ($19.99, though of course I'd much rather find something at the thrift store) and again cutting my own mat from the same piece of board.
I'm already over budget (and let's face it, I'm not trekking to Ikea) but a few other things on my list might be a rugged floor cushion so I can sit out on my fire escape ($20ish), an illuminated flower garland like I recently made for a friend ($5 for the flowers at a dollar store, I already have lights), and new shelves for my Kitchen Pit Of Despair ($20ish).
How would you spruce up your not-going-to-be-here-forever home for only $100? What would you put up with if it's only for a year?
18 Comments
I'd do a thorough cleaning myself, to save money, while dancing around to my favorite music to stay motivated. I've had pro's come in to clean, and it's fine if you can afford it, but having the bulk of that $100 to splurge on things you get to keep might make doing the cleaning worth it. It's also helpful to pack things away, when you're cleaning, and 'refurnish' your home afterward so it feels brand new.
I'd frame a couple of my favorite images with cheap frames (from IKEA or Goodwill... and I find lots of IKEA frames at Goodwill for $1 each) and unify them by painting the frames or mats the same color (a pot of sample paint from the paint store is only a couple bucks). Then I'd group them together so it has some impact. My latest favorite is to collect images of paths (walking paths, docks, stairs, anywhere that indicates movement forward or into the future) and frame those as a collection. I've gotten so into it now I take my camera everywhere I go and look for paths.
I'd buy orchids in a single color (they're cheap at the flower market at 6th and Brannan, Trader Joe's, and sometimes even at Whole Foods) and buy cute cheap pots at Goodwill. If you water them properly, which means not often and don't let them soak in water, the blooms can last for months. I mass 4-5 together on my mantel and easily have blooms for 3-4 months.
I really like Leah's work... lucky you!
Awesome suggestions, Rucy. I have been scouring the thrift stores for frames- wish me luck!
$100 for an entire year? That's not even $2.00 a week! Why don't you splurge on a wonderful pastry once a week :)
If you want to update your home, for $100 - I'd paint a wall...or two. Paint is cheap - it has a cleaning effect and it has the ability to change everything!
I feel your psyche would benefit hugely from that organicn deep clean company. Then, when you walk in the door after they have left, you will see and smell it with a wonderful and refreshed feeling...new and clean energy,done by someone else! This way, you will feel motivated to perhaps change some things, and want to have happy flowers in a happy vase weekly, to keep you up and going forward..while feeling good about yourself this upcoming year in order to make future plans..
As I was trimming my garden this morning it occurred to me that as an alternative to the orchids, you could buy a large potted geranium for your fire escape (or put 2 or 3 smaller plants in a larger pot), because they bloom so heavily you could clip blooms weekly to put in little bud vases in your home...
I would do the cleaning myself. With music on, I find that it's really not that bad. While cleaning, I would rearrange stuff, and get rid of things that I probably wouldn't want to I've. I like the potted plant ideas, both orchids and geraniums. I wouldn't buy stuff because it will just have to be moved. Good luck to u!
If you need help about cleaning the place yourself check out www.flylady.net. Marla is a brilliant coach and really taught me how to keep house and clean and have fun at the same time. If you follow the daily missions you'll save the money (BTW Flylady is a completely free of charge service) and have a clean house without crashing and burning. Have fun!
I'd just focus on moving away from San Francisco! Then you'd have more money AND be in a better mood. Kidding... but only sort of.... moving from SF to LA saved my sanity and my bank account. I'd do the deep clean myself and spend the money on getting the art up, fresh flowers, and maybe some nice candles. You sound like you need to cheer yourself up!
For me, $100 of mad money would go a long way. It could be used to paint one feature wall some bright color that would make my heart glad each and every day (the one behind the bed in the room shown would be an obvious choice of place) -- probably run about $18.00. Then a few pillows (including a large, tough leather one for the fire escape) to add color throughout. Figure $75.00 for them. And I'd use the $7.00 left over for an Ice Cream Sundae -- a treat for my inner child (corny but definitely a truism).
I just had a true professional spring cleaning done, and as luxurious as it was, to me it was not worth the money. I get the same results (in 3x the time) every week, and it still had to be done again a week later. I say: go for the extra shelf or seat cushion for your fire escape! I just bought a food processor (something I had been lusting for), and it was so much more worth it! Oh, and @MARIE516, I'm with you fresh flowers and candles can make any home more homey!
I host "trade-a-thons" at my house. We bring household what-nots, paint misses and furniture. Then everyone can trade and make a change with no cost! I always repaint a wall when I have something on my mind. But if I had to spend $100 I'd buy the California coast print from Orange and Park and a nice frame from Ikea. I'd still have money left for a coffee and a sweet roll!
1. Take the bed covers and dye them. The bottom should be a rich dark brown along with the bolster back pillow(s) cover. The top I would dye a lighter shade, probably light taupe. You will not be able to dye them towards the yellow orange spectrum because they will turn muddy. You won't like that resulting dye-color if you like orange.
2. Spray paint the frames of the black & white images orange.
3. Get another table to replace the floor lamp or get another similar floor lamp. Do some curb shopping. The tables don't have to be the same. One could even be a little dresser with a drawer.
4. Whatever, then paint them a darker shade of taupe. If the new table has a drawer, paint it orange and change the knobs to crystal balls.
5. Now about that tuquoise lamp. Do you absolutely love it? Well then paint the headboard the same taupe color as the tables. Wait don't get depressed yet.
6. Go buy some tiles, whatever strikes your fancy, different sizes and shapes, just make sure you are repeating turquoise (even number of tiles) (if you keep the lamp) and orange (odd number of tiles). Now take those tiles and all your images on the wall, lay them out on the floor and spread them further apart. Work on a grid and at every intersection place a tile. Keep changing it until you like it. You can use painters tape on both the floor and then the wall to get the effect you want. Remember, the framed images don't have to be in the center of each open grid. The tiles do have to be on crossing intersections though.
7. Oh, I forgot to tell you that you should dye some pillow cases orange if you can't find orange ones. They are for the pillows in the front row.
8. For those candle lights. Go to a yardage store and buy some wide (at least 1" wide) dark brown grosgrain ribbon, some 1/2" orange grosgrain ribbon, and some 1/8" turquoise ribbon. Use double sided tape or a hot glue gun. Measuse the 'candle and divide by 2. In the top of the measurement at the center, wrap the dark brown ribbon full circle. Next, in the center of the dark brown ribbon wrap the orange. Finally, in the center of the orange wrap the turquiose. Just make sure the cut ends are too the back.
9. While you were out curb shopping for another table did you also chance upon a lamp you had to have? Is it about the same size as the turquiose lamp? Good! If it is not turquiose then paint it turquoise unless it is clear glass. If it is clear glass, find something to put in, making sure that you repeat turquoise alot.
10. Spray paint, lightly, the shade of both lamps so that they are a lighter version of the 'candle' colors. Just don't go too much lighter. You goal is to make them look like you chose them to match one another and they just happen to pick up the tone of 'candles'. Now, one inch from the bottom of each shade, wrap the ribbons like you did on the candle sconces.
11. I hope you found some type of objet d'intérêt to place on the back of the headboard. A doll, a sculpture, found art, heck you could even have a hub cap there if it has orange or turquoise in it.
I'm a big fan of new paint like some other posters, but if you're moving soon, or the landlord won't like it, I understand why you don't want to. (I recently painted my bedroom Dynamic Blue-Sherwin Williams. Love.) The last few weeks I have been doing a major purge and clean in my house. I got rid of so much stuff. I feel like I can breathe now. I rearranged my living room (it's the everything room--a real living room) for a day. It's completely different, and it's wonderful! Although my back really hurt for about a day, I'm so glad I did it. Also, I recommend Flor carpet tiles. You can go to the outlet section of their site and get them pretty cheaply. They would be easy to move, if you move. I have them in several rooms.
If the #1 thing on your list is a deep clean, I would do that. You'll enjoy it for quite some time.
When I last owned a house, we had it cleaned every other Monday. It sounds crazy, but it actually helped with my Sunday blues mood to know that the house would look great when I came home and that I could look forward to Monday.
Rucy, I adore the idea of pathways to the future! Definitely going to have to steal that idea and get out my camera. I would get a cushion for the balcony and inexpensive flowers every couple of weeks....they always make me smile.
Need some cool artwork? Free, you say? Yes! http://indiefixx.com/Feed_your_soul/
Feed Your Soul is a free art project. Each month artists are invited to participate and to contribute a print which is totally free and available for download.
They have great prints to download and decorate your pad... good luck & have fun...
Deep clean your apartment yourself (maybe with a little help from your friends). Box up all the things that are taking up space and not giving you comfort. Take down all the pictures over the bed and box up. Paint walls same color (unless Landlord approves something else). Less is more. Buy a happy coverlet for the bed. Stand back and BREATHE!
Deep clean by yourself. Purge while you're at it. Then have a yard sale or Craigslist those things you aren't crazy for anymore. And voila! You've added $ to your $100 budget!
Then yes, I would paint a wall (you can buy mis-mixed paints for cheap at the hardware store)... Maybe check out the roadside for any good finds (head to a great neighborhood the evening before garbage day or the morning of)... Buy some great fabric to stretch over a huge frame (very dramatic chage to a room)... You can always pick greenery, flowers and branches from the outdoors (free!)... Many ways to stretch those dollars!

Women on Their Own
Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Being Single
Preview (read now) Add to my own site Give this ebook to a friend Add to my wishlist Author's page Publisher's page
moreDespite some apparent likenesses, single men and single women are perceived in very different ways. Bachelors are rarely considered lonely, aberrant, or pitiable. Rather, they are seen as having elected to be footloose and fancy free. Single women, however, do not enjoy such an enviable reputation. Instead, over the past two centuries, they have been viewed as abnormal, neurotic, or simply undesirableattitudes that result in part from the longstanding belief that a single woman would not have chosen her life.
This collection of eleven original essays attempts to correct that bias by presenting a more complex view of single women. The writers embrace a broad definition of singleness, one that includes women who never married, those who co-habit but are legally denied the right to marry, divorcees, and widows. They describe women who defiantly voted in political elections, single mothers who rejected dependency on public assistance programs, women who successfully ran businesses, and others who found fulfillment in charitable work. Collectively, the self-reliance, creativity, and power to redefine difficult situations that these women demonstrate make a powerful statement about the successes of women on their own.

Gambit Cast in Future X-Men Films
- Written by Mike Petty
- Published in Movie News
- Be the first to comment!
Everyone's favorite Cajun has been cast for future X-Men films.
It is well known that actor, Channing Tatum, has been begging to play the role of Gambit in the X-Men movie franchise. Well producer Lauren Shuler Donner has apparently wanted the same.
When she spoke to Total Film she confirmed "It is Channing.". She went on to say the following:
Well, he's a rogue, Channing, he's a rascal, just like Remy LeBeau. And he can handle the action, we all know that. And he's got a really good heart, because I know him personally, I did a movie [2006's She's the Man] with him. So I think he'll be great. He'll be great for Gambit. And he's a Southerner, too. He's not from New Orleans, but he is a Southerner, he understands that world. And you know Gambit loves New Orleans.
Channing is known for his roles in the films White House Down, The Vow, Dear John, Magic Mike, and many others. See his full filmography on IMDB.

Acupuncturist, MAc, LicAc
"I practice Taoist Five Element acupuncture. This style focuses on the internal energetic balance of the organ systems as well as the harmony between the individual and her environment. It is a simple, poetic, ancient style that often brings a sense of emotional well-being as well as relief of symptoms. I enjoy talking about the energetic spirit of the points to my clients so that their understanding aids their healing. Because treatments are tailored to supporting one's own healing system, they are suitable for a wide range of problems.

Acupuncture in Barre - is it right for me?
Acupuncture is based on the concepts of oriental medicine or traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and is one of the oldest healing practices in the world. Barre acupuncturists are health care professionals who evaluate and treat the many conditions, aches and pains that respond to acupuncture.
Acupuncturists insert very fine acupuncture needles into a number of trigger points on your body. The purpose of the needles is to stimulate acupuncture points or meridians. The needles do not inject any substance into your body and are so fine as to be virtually impossible to feel. In some cases, acupuncture may be accompanied by electrical stimulation or the burning of moxa, a form of heat therapy. Or use acupressure, where physical pressure is applied by hand or elbow to trigger points with the aim of clearing blockages in these meridians.
'Accupuncture' and 'Accupuncturist' are common mis-spellings.
Credentials for Barre licensed acupuncturists?
A licensed acupuncturist in Barre needs a minimum of two years college education and must complete three years of professional training and pass the State's approved licensing examination. The three year program includes both theory and hands-on clinical practice. Most States' professional training programs are accredited by the Accreditation Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (ACAOM) and by the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM).

As a journalist and content creator I strongly object to Circa which takes the reporting and writing of news organizations and skirts the copyright laws by summarizing them -- they do no original reporting, fact gathering or analysis of their own. I would much prefer you recommend apps such as Times Now which digests the actual work of journalists by their own news organization for their own benefit.
Paper has served as a crucial medium in the creation, transfer and preservation of thought throughout human history. Times have rapidly changed, however, as paper is increasingly being purposed in ways that create waste in exchange for convenience. Some 18.5 million trees are cut each year so that Americans can receive bills in the mail. Six billion pounds of napkins end up in landfills annually. Paper phone books still account for more than 10 percent of waste in dump sites. We can do better than this.
In recognition of the 44th annual Earth Day — and an ever-present need to minimize wasted paper (and words) — I have curated a short, simple list of mobile apps that help transform everyday paper-driven activities into more environmentally friendly paperless experiences.
Every day, 60 million people pick up and read a newspaper — and every day, 40 million throw those newspapers away. It is projected that approximately 10 million tons of newspaper will end up in landfill in the next decade. And with the shrinking pool of print news subscribers, newspapers are increasingly turning to online channels to reach new audiences. Newsreader app Circa aims to help readers save paper through mobile news consumption, and save time with atomized articles well suited to on-the-go reading. The added plus of being able to follow individual articles to receive event-specific updates makes for an even stronger case to wait on buying that next hard-copy issue.
Annual paper consumption of textbooks is estimated to be about 200,000 tons — a staggering number. The people behind Inkling believe that students should be able to buy, store and consume their textbooks digitally. The added benefits of being able to buy individual chapters of books, search for specific course content and interact with exclusive visual and testing material make Inkling a paperless alternative that reduces the carbon footprint of big-name publishers while also minimizing strain on the lower backs of countless high school and college students.
Test-prep materials
Every college-bound high school student has stressed about the SAT. For the two million students who experience this tension every year, acquiring study materials very quickly becomes a priority. SAT test-prep books are notoriously thick (particularly the 1,000-page standard College Board prep book); ScoreBeyond's fully-featured test-prep app SAT Up packs everything one might need to prepare for the exam into a single application that offers personalized SAT "workouts," vocabulary exercises and personalized feedback, all while helping students collectively save about 20 tons of paper every day.
According to the Association of Magazine Media, 400 million magazines are printed annually in the U.S. alone. Almost 50 percent of the 1.5 million tons of magazines in circulation are thrown out and not recycled. To avoid contributing to this statistic, readers might give digital magazines a try via Zinio, the "world's largest newsstand," which offers more 5,500 magazine titles. Some may be concerned about losing the magazine experience, but Zinio focuses on delivering its titles through high-quality scans, enhancing the experience through such features as text-only reading and interactive advertising.
Snail mail is a beautiful thing when it comes from the people you care about, but every piece of meaningful mail seems to bring with it five pieces of unwanted junk mail. So where does that paper spam end up when you throw it out? Approximately one-third of all the mail that gets sent out every year — roughly 55 billion pieces — ends up in commercial landfills. The founders of PaperKarma recognized this problem, and set out to solve it by allowing users to snap photos of their unwanted paper mail, press "Send," and unsubscribe, effectively mimicking the "unsubscribe" button commonly found in the footers of most promotional emails. The app will notify you once you've successfully been unsubscribed, so you can rest easy knowing that you've reduced home clutter while helping the environment.

Kindle is another one to save paper while reading great books!
@Tom Teicholz Tom. Did you do any reporting to find out if Circa does any reporting? Or did you just make that assumption? We have an editorial team of 11. We do much "desk reporting" - which includes fact checking, but also when needed we do emailing/calling/etc. that you would expect at other organizations.
Many of the stories we do are what I would call commodity news: When a sports game is over and there is a winner - does one organization OWN the news of the score? If Circa puts out a story about the winner and the NYT does as well - are we skirting copyright by also publishing that game score? We are not, because facts can't be copyrighted, the information is public and furthermore the majority of commodity news stories don't require investigative journalism. When we do come across impressive investigative journalism - say the Washington Post or Guardian's coverage of the NSA Snowden leaks, we of course give links and appropriate attribution to them. But in those instances - wouldn't we be on the same level as the NYT, also gathering reporting/writing from other news organizations and trying to make sense of it for their readers?
Happy to have a real conversation about it - but I think your position that Circa is skirting copyright (it isn't) or isn't adding value (it does) or doing real and original work (we do) is misplaced.

University of Nevada, Reno
You are here: Nevada Home > University Administrative Manual > 5,000-5,999: General University Services > Management of Space and Facilities > 5,440: University Sound Policy
Revised: October 2013
The University of Nevada, Reno's primary mission is to serve as an academic institution. The production of sound, either amplified or non-amplified, in conjunction with an outdoor event or speech activity should not disrupt educational activities and other university business. Outdoor events which use amplified sound equipment are prohibited on the university campus, except under guidelines, procedures, and policies specified in this section of the UAM.
Music, speakers, fairs, festivals, celebrations and other activities serve to contribute to the quality of campus life. However, the use of amplified sound must not disrupt the central academic mission of the University. Outside of regular business hours, or special events approved by Intercollegiate Athletics or the Office of the President, amplified sound should not substantially disrupt university residential areas and the surrounding city neighborhoods.
Public Forum use must follow all the guidelines in the Administrative Manual section 5,303.
The purpose of this policy is to establish standards for the control of noise pollution within the campus to reduce the making and creation of excessive, unnecessary, or unusually loud noises and to secure, protect, and promote the public health, safety, and general welfare of the university community.
Time, Place and Manner
Intercollegiate Athletics Events and Lawlor Events Center programming shall be excluded from this policy. These events are automatically monitored for sound level and appropriate measures taken if necessary. OSHA regulations cover all those events for all employees' protection.
Sound amplification equipment is prohibited outdoors on the university campus, except in the locations and times listed below.
Regular business hours are Monday through Thursday 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. and Friday 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. for spring and fall semesters. During regular business hours, amplified sound is prohibited in all areas south of the Fitzgerald Student Services Building except for the Manzanita Bowl. Barnes Plaza and Hilliard Plaza may have approved amplified sound between Noon and 1:00 p.m.
Outdoor locations where amplified sound may be approved during regular hours of operation include but are not limited to: the Manzanita Bowl, the Knowledge Center Lawn, the Grand Plaza, Joe's patio, parking areas north of the Student Union, Intramural Fields, and Mackay Stadium. Events with amplified sound in outdoor areas immediately adjacent to residence halls must also be approved by Residential Life and Housing.
During the Final Class Meeting Week, when final examinations are held, no events involving amplified sound will be scheduled from 7:00 a.m. until 10:00 p.m. No exceptions will be granted during this period, which starts on the first day of finals and runs through the last day of scheduled finals.
Approved events may have amplified sound if the following conditions are met:
Monitoring and Compliance
The responsible person or event planner must use an appropriate sound measuring device, as determined by the Environmental, Health and Safety (EH&S) staff, for compliance during the event and to enable the University to respond to complaints immediately. To ensure consistency, EH&S staff will calibrate all sound meters used for outdoor events. EH&S may work with other departments to loan out sound meters.
The responsible person or event planner must be available throughout the event to ensure compliance with this policy. If at any time the amplified sound exceeds the limits stipulated in this policy or reasonable conditions, the responsible person or event planner will be asked to reduce the volume. If the sound level exceeds 100 dBA for 60 seconds when measured at 50 feet, a warning will be given to lower the volume.
University officials have the right to require amplification systems to be turned down, or off entirely, if it is determined the sound level is too high or inappropriate. Failure to respond immediately may result in the cancelation of the event and /or the shutdown of the power source for the sound equipment. Event sponsors are hereby advised that this process may damage their equipment. University officials or the responsible person may immediately cancel the event if necessary. (For the purposes of this policy, university officials include but are not limited to UNR Police, Student Services staff, ASUN or GAS staff, Student Event Advisory Board (SEAB) staff, activity advisors, building staff, Facilities Services staff, and Scheduling Office staff.)
Noise Complaints
On weekdays between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., complaints regarding outdoor amplified sound should be directed to the Student Life Services office if student groups are involved and to the Vice President of Administration and Finance office if student groups are not involved. After hours, complaints should be directed to the University Police.
Student Life Services or the Vice President for Administration and Finance office, as appropriate, will respond to the complaint by verifying that the amplified sound complies with this policy. A responsible person or event planner must be available throughout the event to respond to requests from university officials should complaints be received about sound amplification.
When a valid noise complaint is received, Student Life Services or the Vice President for Administration and Finance office, as appropriate, will follow up with the responsible groups and individuals for appropriate action.
In rare cases organizations may request an exception to policy. Undergraduate student organization requests for exceptions may be submitted for consideration with a reservation request for use of outdoor space through the SEAB. The SEAB will review the exception request. If approved, the SEAB will submit the justification for the exception to the Associate Vice President for Student Life Services for final approval. Graduate student organization requests for exceptions must be submitted to the Dean of the Graduate School. Non-student group requests for exceptions may be submitted for consideration with a reservation request for use of outdoor space through the Office of the Vice President of Administration and Finance.
All requests for exceptions must be submitted at least 30 calendar days in advance.
The type of sound requested, the time of the event and the proximity of the location to classrooms, outdoor instructional area, and residence halls will be taken into consideration before any exception is granted. Exceptions are not simply granted upon request.

Bacterial vaginosis - Symptoms of bacterial vaginosis
The main symptom of bacterial vaginosis (BV) is a change in your usual vaginal discharge.
Your discharge may:
- become thin and watery
- change to a white or grey colour
- develop a strong, unpleasant, fishy smell, particularly after sexual intercourse
Other symptoms of BV can include:
- pain during intercourse
- pain when passing urine
- some light bleeding from your vagina
BV does not usually cause itching or irritation.
Around half of all women with BV do not have any symptoms. This is known as asymptomatic BV.
If you do not have symptoms, there is no need to get tested to find out if you have BV as asymptomatic bacterial vaginosis does not pose a threat to health or pregnancy.
BacteriaBacteria are tiny, single-celled organisms that live in the body. Some can cause illness and disease, and some are good for you.
