See Online Courses   Search Apartment Living / Rental From Jennifer Lai , Your Guide to Apartment Living / Rental . FREE Newsletter. Sign Up Now! Items You'll Need When You Sign the Lease These are the items you'll need when you sign the lease: Certified checks or money orders . Get seperate checks for the rent and the security deposit , because the landlord must deposit the check in its own interest-bearing bank account. Thinking cap. If you have yet to see the apartment lease , don't just blindly sign it without reading all the fine print. Be prepared to question any clauses that seem unfair to you. Any changes to the lease must be written down on the lease or a seperate sheet that is signed by both you and the landlord. Bag or folder for the lease. After both you and the landlord sign the lease, you will each receive a copy. Keep all the papers in a safe place, starting with something in which to transport the lease to your new apartment. Wednesday January 25, 2006 | permalink Avoid Bad Roommates Your last roommate drove you crazy. This time around, avoid choosing a bad roommate . This is especially important when you're considering living with a friend. Remember that the bonds of friendship are not the same as the bonds between roommates. Your friend's spontaneity and free spirit may start to irk you when this translates into late rent payments or lost apartment keys. Monday January 23, 2006 | permalink How Much Money Do You Need When You Sign the Lease? When you sign an apartment lease, you'll be handing over a lot of money to the landlord, all in a form of payment that must be equivalent to cash. That means, you can't use a credit card--only cash, certified checks, or money orders will be accepted. Make sure you're prepared by saving enough money to cover yourself when you sign the lease. Friday January 20, 2006 | permalink 2006 College Grads - Start Building Up Credit Now In six months, you will be graduating from college and getting your own apartment. Your credit report is part of the process of renting an apartment. The landlord uses the credit report to gauge whether you will have enough money to pay rent monthly and to pay on time. If you've been using your parent's credit card, now may be a good time to get your own and start building up good credit. There are other ways to establishing good credit . Keep in mind that while a credit card is an excellent way to build good credit, it can also damage your credit, if you rack up debt or pay your bills late. Learn how to maintain good credit with your credit card. Wednesday January 18, 2006 | permalink Get Rid of Rats I had two pet rats when I was a child. Some may be nauseated at the thought of rodents as pets, but I assure you—pet rats are cute, social, and intelligent creatures. On the other hand, rats also are one of the most disgusting and frightening of pests. They're larger than mice and much smarter. So, getting rid of a rat requires different strategies than getting rid of mice. Tuesday January 17, 2006 | permalink No Dogs Allowed! Finding a Home for Frodo Finding an apartment that allows dogs or cats can be difficult. Some landlords do not allow cats, claiming that they'll leave around fur or dander that may bother future tenants with cat allergies. However, it's generally easier to find an apartment that allows cats. Dogs, on the other hand, pose a concern for landlords, primarily because they bark loudly and may frighten other tenants. If you have a pet, there are some apartment listings online that feature pet-friendly apartments . Sunday January 15, 2006 | permalink How to Prevent Loneliness Living by yourself can feel very lonely without anyone to chat with before bedtime or nod sleepily to in the morning. There are ways to keep the feeling of loneliness from overwhelming you. Follow Blanche Evans's advice to keep your apartment from feeling lonely . Friday January 13, 2006 | permalink Before You Rent an Apartment, You Need Money Renting an apartment is expensive. Oftentimes, rent takes up a huge chunk of our monthly paycheck. However, even before you move in, you will fork over more than the first month's rent to the landlord and broker (if you use one). Thus, it is essential that you determine how much money you will need . Wednesday January 11, 2006 | permalink Talk to Your Roommate about the Safety of Your Pet There are so many hazards in an apartment that can harm your pet. To avoid any fatal accidents or fights, explain to your roommate the importance of household safety for your pet . Make sure they understand why you get upset when they leave chocolate lying around or feed your dog chicken wings. Tuesday January 10, 2006 | permalink Alternatives to Breaking the Lease Need to leave your apartment prematurely? Nervous about outrightly breaking the lease? Research alternatives to breaking the lease before you make any decisions.

Plumeria Photos from Hawaii Plumeria is the most common flower that you'll find in Hawaii since it is used in most leis that are given to visitors. It is, however, not native to Hawaii. It is native to tropical and subtropical America. The flowers are found in colors of white, yellow, pink, red, and multiple pastels. In Hawaii one of the best places to view plumeria is at the Koko Crater Botanical Garden - a 60-acre basin inside Koko Crater on the eastern end of the island of Oahu. These plumeria photos are made available by Dr. Kent Bridges, Associate Professor of Botany, at the University of Hawaii. View the photos...

As reported in Monday's Maui News, state and federal agencies are posting new warning signs at harbors and boat ramps in Hawaii. They are doing this out of fear that more boating traffic increases the potential for collisions with humpback whales during the winter whale season.

It's a top notch resort with a great staff and is certainly not hurt by its prime location at at the north end of Kaanapali Beach near Pu'u Keka'a, the famous Black Rock where the beach is the widest and the swimming and snorkeling are superb. This location gives Sheraton guests a unique sense of privacy. You never feel that you are nestled into an area with many other condominiums, hotels and resorts.

Hawaiian Quilting Journey: Week

Mokihana’s Garden » Blog Archive » Mokihana’s Hawaiian Quilting Journey: Week Two Mokihana’s Garden A Mānoa Valley Wahine Writes of Past and Present « Mokihana’s Hawaiian Quilting Journey: Week One Mokihana’s Hawaiian Quilting Journey: Class! » Mokihana’s Hawaiian Quilting Journey: Week Two I thought I’d come out the winner this week. And I did, sorta. Eventually. I got my new fabric all washed and ready and started cutting. Unfortunately, I musta been half asleep at the time, because I cut it wrong and had to go back to the fabric store yet again! Sheesh! Fabric 6, Mokihana O. However, the next day I was much more successful, and got my applique piece all properly cut out - Mokihana 1, Fabric 6. The following day I cut out my background piece - Mokihana 2, Fabric 6 (I’m catching up!). I carefully unfolded my green ulu applique piece and voila! There it was, waiting for me to baste it onto the background fabric. I think I should get a point for that. K’den. Mokihana 3 - Fabric 6. Then, the next day of quiet basting with my friend, I got the whole pattern basted onto the background! Pau! Mokihana 4, Fabric 6. Now I am ready to start appliqueing the pattern to the background. And I fully expect to have my score keep climbing! This is turning out to be a very rewarding project for me. I feel very spiritually connected to it, feeling a real connection to Hawaiian women years and years before me designing and quilting their own works of art. I couldn’t make it out to The Gathering this week. I was buried with work and a very large truck with a cherry picker and shredder attached to it was parked in my long, narrow driveway while a crew from Portland General Electric trimmed branches from the firs, maples, alders and willows away from the power lines. I was very disappointed that I couldn’t get out; it would have been a lovely day. However, there is next week. And I have a quilt square ready to be appliqued. The colors are just what I wanted and I feel so good about starting this. It is a song to me, and I am loving the singing of it.
