OT: Best Food in Stroudsburg/E. Stroudsburg? Thread: OT: Best Food in Stroudsburg/E. Stroudsburg? I will be working with teachers across the border in Blairstown, NJ this week but I am staying in Stroudsburg. Where's the best grub? I am half tempted to drive to Scranton to get my Dunder Mifflin fix, but not sure an Instagram pic in front of Poor Richard's Pub is worth the 2 hour round trip. Re: OT: Best Food in Stroudsburg/E. Stroudsburg? Stroudsburg is one of those nice old Victorian towns that hasn't had its downtown abandoned or gutted. East Stroudsburg doesn't have the charm of Stroudsburg. There are some decent local non-chain places but nothing stands out in my memory. Poor Richard's is a bust ... unless you bowl. Get some Pizza by Alfredo. Seruous note the seafood place from the show is pretty legit. I sent you a pers. message. Please check. I know years ago you could go to the Steamtown mall (now known as the Marketplace) and get your picture in front of the "Scranton Welcomes You" sign that they aired during the opening credits of "The Office". Depends on how badly you want that pic. The entire Scranton-Wilkes Barre area is a desolate place (IMHO). If you went to Scranton you'd probably realize it was a mistake. Stroudsburg and East Stroudsburg are pretty nice. Are you working at The Blair Academy? Downtown Stroudsburg is your best bet most likely, it's definitely the more charming of the two town centers. East Stroudsburg is primarily residential and really functions as an extension of Stroudsburg as much as its own town. I was a big fan of the old Dansbury Depot, but after the fire it was replaced by Trackside Grill, which is fine, but more generic. In Stroudsburg I'm partial to the Sarah Street Grill but there are definitely a few decent options you have. Can we have a Dunder Mifflin thread? Man, do I miss that show. Thanks for all of the great information. I am working with North Warren Regional HS. Sounds like I wait on Scranton until I head back that way next summer. Stroudsburg sounds like it’s got plenty of options. Warrior gave me some good insight. Yes, an Office thread would be awesome. Currently binging Season 8 and 9 while waiting for my flight from GR to Newark. Seasons 1-3 were some of the funniest televison shows ever in my opinion. Dinner Party was a great episode, too. I still have no idea how they ever filmed that scene when Michael was showing off his 12" Flat Screen. Amazing how they kept straight faces. On the outtakes they just couldn't do it. The amazing thing is The Office is alive and well. It's reborn to this high school and college generation. There are two or 3 blocks downtown with a bunch of restaurants and bars. A place called Yard of Ale is pretty good (more of an upscale brew pub feel, but they don’t make their own beer), and there is a nice Irish pub a few doors down as well. Rudy's Tavern in East Stroudsburg is a MUST!!!! Great bar food, and the bar bill won't bust your wallet! Log Cabin on Rte 46, just on the Jersey side of the Delaware is a great spot too!!! I wouldn't recommend Rudy's to a visitor looking to have a nice meal. Yeah the bar food is good, but it is more of a college, early twenties bar scene. $1 drafts and supers. I haven't visited the site much since the end of the season but just wanted to thank everyone for the suggestions. I stayed at the Hampton a couple of blocks from downtown so it was an easy walk to Happy Hour. Sampled several including Yard of Ale and then ended up at Siamsa Irish Pub for dinner. Great area with great people on both side of the river. Maybe Hillsdale and the Warriors can hook up OOC sometime....or in the playoffs.

When the DeKalb County School System(Decatur, GA) experienced rapid growth in the early 1990s, theexisting technology training program failed to keep pace, leavingmany instructors in the dark. Even though DeKalb spent nearly $1.6million each year to teach staff personal computer skills, only 8% ofthe population became competent in all the applications, whichincluded a word processor, database and spreadsheet. In the summer of1995, a committee met to discuss DeKalb's strategy for implementingnew technologies. A major goal was that teachers, students,administrators and parents would achieve a minimum proficiency in theuse of computers. Foremost, committee members recognized a need toreach a greater number of teachers in a shorter amount of time.Secondly, they sought a method for training that would be readilyavailable at all times, since most instructors could not afford toleave their classrooms during the day. In addition, the method wouldhave to be self-paced, as group members would have varying levels ofknowledge and experience. The solution came from Industrial TrainingCorp. (ITC), of Atlanta, Georgia. Partnering withAchieve, Inc., ITC supplied all the necessary courseware,facilitation and hotline support services required byDeKalb. The training project began Sept. 25, 1995 at threeelementary schools: Austin, Hawthorne andMainstreet. Each of the original 108 participants received adesktop computer, which he or she could take home. An additional 60notebook computers supported off-site training. ITC'sPC-Skills Activ Learning Library solutions were loadedonto each machine. The ITC package comprised Using PersonalComputers, Windows Basics and Intermediate, WordPerfect 6.1 Basics,PowerPoint 4.0 Basics, Excel 5.0 Basics and Microsoft AccessBasics. After 15 weeks of multimedia training, 83% of theparticipants believed they were competent in all the applications.Both novice and veteran teachers praised the new training method."This type of training is less intimidating than being in a regularclassroom where everyone knows when you don't know something," saidone teacher. The second project, conducted in the spring 1996quarter, targeted administrative staff at 30 high schools. Trainingsessions were held in three labs at DeKalb's Rehoboth InstructionalCenter. The 550 participants ranged from principals andcounselors to bookkeepers and secretaries. Staff members weremandated to acquire 32 hours of personal computer training by the endof the fall quarter. Spending extra hours in the lab, many peoplecompleted their training in the spring rather than waiting until thenext school year. Participants in both projects learned how tomaneuver the mouse and navigate through Windows. They also learnedhow to create, save, open, close, edit and print documents in all theapplication software. For the PowerPoint course, many teacherscreated slideshow presentations that they then used in theirclassrooms. And after the WordPerfect course, more staff membersstarted to produce memos, calendars and newsletters on theirPC. As a result of these successful projects, DeKalb'ssuperintendent and board of education agreed to obtain and implement8,400 ITC courses throughout the school system andcommunity-at-large. The Basic Skills Library, forexample, addresses reading and writing, and suits adult literacyefforts, while the Technical Skills Library contains100 titles on electronics, pipefitting, troubleshooting, etc. forvocational training. The training resources provide specific supportover a four-year period. As part of the plan, DeKalb will establishFamily Resource Centers at several sites to allowstudents and parents to learn side-by-side. Convinced that ITC'straining methods work, administrators hope that these centers willfoster life-long learning and help bridge the gap between schools andsurrounding communities.

A brand image is the sum impression of a company’s “personality” in the minds of customers. It can be at the same time factual and imaginary. Brand image develops over time as a result of customers’ cumulative experience across numerous touch points. A strong brand image results in an overall favorable impression of the company and its products and services and fosters a sense of trust. A common misconception is that brand creation involves designing a great logo, a smart marketing plan, or well-crafted communications materials and advertising. It’s true, these are essential to a strong brand image but don’t do the entire job in and of themselves. Consumers are smart. Telling them how great your products are doesn’t work. The old model of big corporations forcing brands into the market is over. With the advent of the Internet and social media, consumers now have a much greater influence in the market. What is my unique proposition and what is it that makes my company or products relevant and desirable? How can I offer value that my competitors don’t? What promises and commitments can I make to them and am willing to stand behind? What values am I committed to and for what do I want to be known? Define these carefully and apply them consistently. Let these values guide every decision you make. Make sure everyone in your organization understands them and keeps them top-of-mind. Your brand values should permeate your entire culture—from your annual report to the way the receptionist answers the phone. In ‘n Out Burger is a strong brand built mostly on word-of-mouth. The company does very little advertising but became very successful by understanding who they are and never deviating from their core brand values. They offer high quality, simple food at a reasonable price. They keep their menu limited, choosing to do a few things very well and consistently delivering a quality product. This simple approach separates them from competitors who continuously update their menus. Customers trust them to provide a uniform experience no matter what location they visit. The result is a customer base that is fiercely loyal. They have learned what their customers expect and work hard to provide it consistently. A brand never becomes strong by trying to be all things to all people. Define for whom your product or service is intended and focus on them. Know who your ideal customers are and make an effort to understand their particular needs and desires. What problems will you solve for them? Can you make their lives better? How will you engage with them? How can you give them a more substantial stake in your company and include them in your culture? Creating personas can make it easier to visualize your customers as real people, understand their needs, and appeal to them emotionally as well as intellectually. Today, customers are in the driver’s seat. Your business will thrive or fail based on whether or not they feel an affinity for your brand and what it offers them. At the very least you’ll want to develop a deep understanding of who they are, what they value, and how best to communicate with them. Trust is the foundation of a strong brand. To earn that trust you must prove yourself trustworthy. Always be honest with your customers. Always tell the truth—not what you want them to hear. If you make a mistake, own it. Mistakes are never good, but by attempting to cover them up, you may lose your customers’ trust and never get it back. Customers can forgive mistakes if you admit them and do your best to make them right. Recently, Volkswagen installed software in many of their diesel cars designed to falsify emission test to make them appear to run cleaner. After it was exposed to the public, brand analysis by Gallup revealed that 4 out of 10 consumers were much less likely to buy a Volkswagen in the future. While the company has since admitted the transgression and has apologized, that betrayal of their customers’ hard-earned trust has tarnished their brand image. It could take many years to regain the loyalty that was lost. One of the worst things you can do is imitate a more successful competitor. It may be tempting to ride on the coattails of their success, but that won’t get you very far. Chances are, those companies are successful because they identified and leveraged their unique strengths. You should do the same. The key to making your brand stand out is not imitation but differentiation. In the same way that no two people are exactly alike, companies have qualities that make them unique. Identify yours and build on them. Develop a voice and visual style in your communications that is uniquely yours—one that matches your company’s “personality” and values. In addition to a great logo and tagline, establish a unique tone of voice in your writing and be consistent in the use of typography, colors, and images. It’s always a good idea to hire a brand specialist to guide you through this process and create a visual “vocabulary” that is all your own. Avoid using stock images when possible. It can be very confusing to your customers if your competitor happens to use the same photos or illustrations as you—and it does happen. Creating a library of custom images to be used for multiple purposes makes good branding sense and may even save money in the long run. We’ve established that every brand has unique qualities. Each brand also has a story all its own. It might include your company history but, most importantly, it should describe your vision. Take some time to write yours and use it as a basis for all your brand communications. If you have a clear story, it will be easier for customers to understand and relate to you. A good brand story will make it easier for them to care about what you have to offer and become emotionally invested. The term story, however, can be a bit misleading. It’s not a narrative to publish and distribute, although there may be times this would be appropriate. Instead, it’s a conceptual thread woven through every communication your company has with the public whether it’s from your website, blog, literature, product packaging or from the lips of your sales or support personnel. Finally, while your story is about your brand, the focus should be on your customers and how they benefit from what you provide for them. Good branding is a partnership between you and your customers. Starbucks is an example of a great brand story. It started with a commitment to great tasting gourmet coffee but developed over time into something much more. Many other companies were selling good coffee, but Starbucks noticed early on the difference between American coffee shops and the coffee culture in Europe which centers around small espresso bars. These are not only places to get great coffee but are social hubs as well. With this in mind, they set out to make Starbucks not only a great coffee bar but a community as well. The products, furnishings, music, and décor were all designed to provide delightful customer experiences for a young, hip demographic. The story is less about the company than the experience it provides. Let’s face it. Grabbing attention in our communication-saturated culture is a challenge. According to Yankovich Consumer Research, the average person sees or hears as many as 5,000 marketing messages per day. That’s a lot of competition! To have any hope of being noticed, you must have a compelling message and convey it as simply as possible. Today, any message that requires more than a moment to absorb will likely be overlooked. In branding, it’s axiomatic that less is more. There’s a lot you could say about your products but don’t try to say too much. While they may have a host of great attributes, the only ones that matter are those that make your customers’ lives better. For example, think of all the amazing technology and programming that went into creating Apple’s SIRI. Detailing the technical intricacies that went into the product might be interesting to some, but to the average consumer, it’s irrelevant. All that matters to them is that they can ask their phone a question and get a quick, helpful answer. Focus on the features that benefit the customer most and save everything else for the technical documents. To say a picture is worth a thousand words may sound cliché, but it’s absolutely true. Research confirms that we remember visual images more easily than words. Using photos or illustrations to tell a story can be more effective than writing. Most people are lazy readers. If something looks like an effort to read, people will often move on. A picture, on the other hand, can be processed by the brain almost immediately. What’s more, images can have an emotional appeal that doesn’t come across as readily with words alone. Great images can send implicit messages about a product’s quality or reinforce a brand’s personality. Apple does an excellent job of using quality images to enhance the perceived value of their products and, by extension, their brand. According to Psychology Today, while most people believe they make purchasing decisions based on rational analysis, in reality, most choices are heavily influenced by emotion. Strong brands appeal to customers on an emotional level as well as a rational one. In fact, shoppers are often willing to pay more for a name brand product even when there is a cheaper generic alternative with the same features. Most purchases are made at a subconscious level and not always for practical reasons. A woman may be more likely to buy a pair of shoes because she thinks they will make her look attractive than because she believes them to be well made. A man may choose a BMW over a Toyota because he believes it will make him appear more successful even though either would fulfill the practical need of getting him from home to the office. The most successful brands create a powerful connection to the consumer by appealing to their emotional needs whether they be greed, desire, social acceptance, envy, fear or altruism. People are less interested in what a product can do than what it can do for them. If, as a brand, you tell your story in a way that resonates emotionally and fulfills a customer’s basic needs, you will be much more likely to develop a long-term relationship of trust and loyalty. The Internet and social media have revolutionized the way the world communicates much like the printing press did in the 15th century. Upwards of 60% of Americans use social media multiple times each day—and that number is growing fast. Over the last decade, business communications have changed fundamentally. Technology has made it possible to have ongoing dialogs with customers, and they increasingly expect it. The advantage of social media over traditional advertising is the opportunity to engage with your customers rather than merely pitch to them. When a customer feels like they’re being listened to rather than talked at, they will be more likely to feel an affinity with your brand. When using social media, it’s important to provide customers with information that is useful and relevant. Convey information that is so engaging people will want to share it. Make an effort to foster dialog. It’s not enough to push information out. Make sure you reply to comments, ask questions and do whatever you can to make users feel like they have a voice and that their voice matters to you. Some companies, like Apple, have been successful creating products that people need before they know they need them. Most successful products, however, are a response to an existing need. The days of creating a product and forcing it into the marketplace are gone. Savvy companies today listen to their customers and develop products that solve real problems for them. Customers expect to have a voice, so why not use social media to give them a hand in product development? Try using surveys or contests to solicit their input as to design, colors, and features. Use that information to guide your product design and brand messaging. By the time you launch your product, many of your customers will already be invested. You don’t necessarily need to have a presence on all social media platforms. Focus on those that are most appropriate for your particular brand. For example, LinkedIn is great for B2B. Instagram is a logical choice if your brand is inherently visual. Pinterest is ideal for brands related to fashion or other products directed at women. Due to its immediacy, Twitter may be the best way to keep your audience up to date on breaking news, product updates, promotions and to offer coupons and discounts to reward loyal customers. Facebook is a must for horizontal markets because it has over a billion users worldwide and its demographics are broad and varied. Finally, write content that is relevant, friendly and conversational. Whatever platform you choose, be sure to post material that is consistent with your brand’s strategy, personality and values and is uniform in tone and voice. Your brand image is everything. Like a garden, it requires constant tending—but can become unhealthy through neglect. However, by paying close attention to how you present your brand and the quality of customer engagement at each customer touch point, your brand will become stronger and flourish over time.

You may think that your home is as safe as can be. You may think it is an impenetrable fortress that can’t be breached. You may think that just because a particular thing has never caused damage in your home that it won’t suddenly decide to do so. Even the safest of homes have their dangers. Because of this, it’s not necessarily about stopping the dangers, it’s about dealing with them in the right ways. This could be the difference between you staying safe and you putting yourself, and your family in danger. First and foremost, when it comes to danger hotspots in the home, like with your electrics, you should leave any faults to be dealt with by a professional home electrician. Unless you are a trained and qualified electrician you should never try to fix an electrical fault. Yes, it is important to know where the main switch is so that you can turn everything off in an emergency. But this doesn’t mean you should know the ins and outs of your electrics. And it certainly doesn’t mean you should take to tampering with them yourself. Electricity can kill if it is treated in the wrong ways, and that should never be forgotten. Something else that can kill if treated in the wrong ways is the ‘silent’ killer that is carbon monoxide. To treat this in the right way you should again seek help from a professional. In this case a qualified technician should be sought so that they can check out all the hotspots in your home that could potentially omit poisonous carbon monoxide fumes. But the need to treat this very real, and very serious plight in the right way doesn’t stop there. You should purchase a CO detector so that you can be alerted in the future to any potential hazardous fumes in your home. You should also try to refrain from heating your home with a gas oven. There are a host of hidden dangers in your home, most of which can be quashed if you treat them in the right way. And when it comes to treating these dangers you should never be tentative to have to spend to do so. It’s all well and good saving money, but you should never try to save money if doing so puts your health and wellbeing at risk. You are far more important than money ever will be. So, the next time you have to decide between a coffee from Starbucks or a detector for your home, please go with the latter and not the latte! When danger arises in your home you need to deal with it in the right way. You need to have it tended to by professionals. You need to do all you can to ensure that the danger never arises again. Choosing the right way to deal with things is crucial. As previously mentioned it could be the difference between your safety and danger. Quite extremely, it could be the difference between life and death.

The lines between sports, media and gaming are becoming increasingly blurred. At their epicentre lies esports and their rapid convergence is driving the growth of sports gaming at a blistering pace. Already boasting professional athletes, eye-watering sponsorship deals and a global audience of over 350 million viewers, the popularity of esports is skyrocketing and is now even being considered for the Olympic Games. The cross-over of sports, media and gaming is forming the bedrock of the industry to come and will influence its trajectory into the future, creating a host of new career opportunities and business challenges. The first glimpses of an entwined sports and esports future can already be seen. Earlier this year, Manchester City signed its second FIFA esports player and Aston Villa partnered with TalkTalk to broadcast its newly launched esports league, whilst a major feature of Tottenham Hotspur’s new stadium is its capacity for hosting esports matches. Traditional sports organisations fuelling the growth of esports is a trend gaining momentum around the world. Over 20 million players competed for a spot at this years’ FIFA eWorld Cup and McLaren has launched its own esports talent programme. The National Basketball Association (NBA), capitalising on the success of the first season of its esports league has announced a second, complete with housing and salaries for the players and the National Football League (NFL) is following hot on its heels as it looks to appoint a Head of Esports. With major sporting associations and teams committing to sports gaming, esports are becoming increasingly professionalised. Sporting associations and sports teams are focusing on esports as a profitable brand vehicle – West Ham recently appointed an esports partner as its sleeve sponsor – and with the monetization of the industry, competitive esports are rapidly resembling traditional sports. Injuries, doping scandals and pay disputes materialise in the same way they do in traditional sports, while players are trained physically to ensure fast cognitive reactions and the same competing age time-lines impact esportsmen and women just as much as they do traditional athletes. The events themselves mirror those of traditional sports with Blizzard’s first Overwatch League Championships achieving maximum capacity at the Barclays Center arena in Brooklyn whilst 300,000 viewers streamed the finals online. With 125 million gamers alone playing the third-person shooter Fortnite, the popularity of gaming offers an untapped audience for organisations to capitalise on. The media’s role in cultivating the industry is patently clear and has successfully shaped the image of competitive gaming into a professional sport, in part, by catering to millennial viewing habits. Audience numbers for Match of the Day are increasing as a new generation of viewers favour shorter highlights over ninety minute games; almost five million viewers tuned in to the first Match of the Day of the season last year. On the other hand, viewing figures for live coverage of the Premier League continues to decline with millennial viewers courting alternative media platforms such as Snapchat to watch highlights of games. Esports games are shorter and faster-paced than their real-world counterparts, ideal for the primary audience of time-precious millennials. Understanding the shift in behaviour, media giants such as ESPN have launched dedicated esports channels while last year the BBC began live coverage of esports games. Data is at the heart of this and media providers are utilising the analytics from their subscriber networks to drive viewer engagement and target consumers with greater accuracy. Amazon, who owns esports streaming channel Twitch TV, will also soon livestream 20 Premier League matches on Amazon Prime. The online retailer will take advantage of its many-tentacled network and Amazon Prime subscribers who view sports matches and purchase sports video games can expect to be targeted with adverts for live esports. As the sports, media and gaming industries continue to blend into one another we can expect to see an increasing overlap of roles that has to some extent, already begun. Most recently, former UFC Brand Officer and ex-CEO of Manchester City Football Club Gary Cook, took up the role of Executive Chairman at UK based e-sports organiser Gfinity. The year before, Gfinity hired Mark Brittain, a former executive at TV production firm Syco, in an attempt to replicate popular sports and talent shows. With competitive gaming becoming increasingly mainstream, esports teams, leagues and associations are fishing for talent from a wider source than just the gaming recruitment pool. The transfer of skills is already coming from traditional sports and media as esports organisations look to tap into the entertainment industry, build themselves as major brands and harness sponsorship deals. Looking to the future, the opportunities are many and varied. More and more teams are going to need managers to negotiate pay and handle sponsorship opportunities, while bourgeoning esports leagues will need talent coaches to nurture esports ‘superstars’. At present, the World Esports Association has been formed to standardise pay and rights within the industry, but regulation covering gambling, match-fixing and doping is still relatively light on the ground. What’s more, the wide variety of esports games means individual regulatory bodies for each esport are likely to be formed, creating a demand for governance and compliance skills that is more than likely to be met by the sports industry. The growing business of professional video gaming is being defined by its trilateral roots in sports media and gaming as organisations within these industries see the lucrative opportunities its future holds. These landscapes will continue to merge and individuals will increasingly permeate across each industry so that soon, sports and esports will not look too dissimilar from one another. For further information please contact Bambos Eracleous. I wonder if the physical and psychological pressures facing players will result in esports nutritional and mental well-being programmes, as per more traditional sports? Interesting that the first esports player to sign for Man City has taken time out this year to 're-focus'.

Over the past four years, Trista Morrison has leveraged her unique combination of strategic insight, storytelling expertise and media savvy to evolve Ironwood’s image from a biotech startup to a fully-integrated commercial biotechnology company with two FDA-approved medicines and a robust pipeline of emerging treatments for patients with significant unmet needs. Morrison spearheads corporate communications—branding, messaging, collateral and traditional/social media—as well as product PR for Ironwood’s market-leading drug, for which more than 1 million patients have filled a prescription. Additionally, she serves as a thought-partner to the executive team to define, refine and communicate the Ironwood story. As Ironwood kicked off 2016, the company had outgrown its science-heavy, startup-focused story frame and needed to better emphasize the unmet needs it was serving and the significant commercial capabilities it was leveraging to do so, including its award-winning marketing team and national sales force. Working closely with the CEO and the executive team, Morrison co-led the process of reframing Ironwood’s story as a commercial biotechnology company, advancing its key franchises in irritable bowel syndrome with constipation/chronic idiopathic constipation, refractory GERD and vascular/fibrotic disease. The revised messaging and related materials debuted at the J.P. Morgan Health Care Conference in January 2016—biotech’s largest investor conference—and feedback from investors, analysts and Ironwood’s Board of Directors was positive. Moreover, these key messages carried through positively in the subsequent media placements—including the Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg Businessweek, the Boston Globe, and myriad trade publications, including a cover story in Life Science Leader—that Ironwood secured. Outreach around this effort has garnered nearly 250 million impressions year-to-date.

No matter how big or small your budget maybe in college, every student can benefit from the savings found at thrift stores. Here is my list of 7 Things College Students Should Buy at Thrift Stores that will help save you some cash. I cannot stress this one enough. In college, I had lots of nice shirts, dress shirts, polos, and more. Eventually, I decided I would rather be comfortable in that 3-hour long physics class than wear a dress shirt. T-shirts quickly became my friend. They are cheap, light weight, and no tear will be shed if something accidentally happened to the $3 shirt instead of that nice J.Crew $90 dress shirt. At most thrift stores including the bigger national stores such as Goodwill and Salvation Army, one can find wonderful t-shirts for $3-$5 a piece. Over the years I have picked up many awesome graphic shirts, sports shirts for my teams, and even an occasional wrestling t-shirt. Yes, I am a wrestling fan. Shirts at thrift stores tend to be very cheap allowing money to be spent on additional items. When searching for shirts, remember to check each shirt for stains, tears, holes, and rips. Even though you are buying these shirts for their cheap use factor, there is no reason to buy a damaged item when there are usually so many other shirts on the racks. By hitting the thrift stores often, my friends and I were able to stock up on cheap shirts, and such a large amount of shirts, we were able to put off doing laundry for much longer periods. After all who wants to be stuck doing laundry during their college days when there are so many other cool things going on? What was said above about t-shirts also applies to pants and jeans. That chemistry lab class, while almost always safe, does have the potential to stain or trash your clothes. Keep those AG or Levi jeans nice for when you go out on the town and wear that cheap $5-$9 thrift store find to class. For dress pants and khakis I would try to always hit the thrift stores first. For me, the retail brands I liked on sale would run around $50 to $60 a pair. At thrift stores, when I find them I would pay between $6 and $8 a pair. For the price of one on sale retail pair of pants, I could buy a weeks worth at the thrift stores. The key was hitting the thrift stores often and searching the racks. Pants & Jeans can be purchased at thrift stores for a small fraction of retail costs. As with shirts, be sure to check each pair of pants for stains, rips, tears, or holes, unless they were designed that way. For jeans also check the pockets for holes, bent fasteners that may cut, and the zipper is functional. Since you are buying t-shirts and pants at the thrift store you should swing over to the accessories section and do a little shopping. Belts, ties, scarfs, hats, bags, purses, and vintage jewelry are always in stock and often overlooked. I have found more high dollar accessories at almost free prices more than any other wardrobe item. For men, a mid range classy leather belt can easily run $50. At a thrift store that belt might be only $5 and in near new condition. Books sections at thrift stores are cheap resources for textbooks and reference materials. Yeah, I know, we all have smart phones and other tech gadgets. Books are like so 1990s and before. However, thrift stores in the town of your college may end up getting copies of text books for courses you take. Sometimes, they are off by a single edition. In some cases, this is not an issue because it may only contain very minor error corrections or simply updated cover art. Some new editions of books are released just to outdate the previous edition so people are forced into buying new books when the professors require the latest edition. This did happen for a few of my classes. Bought the 9th edition of an engineering book for $10 when the 10th edition with different cover art was over $120. For English classes, philosophy, and any other course that has a wide range of written work that can be used, I cannot stress thrift stores enough. I had a philosophy course on the theory of knowledge. I was able to find a handful of books at the local thrift stores related to the course materials for a few bucks. If it was not for one of those books, I would not have been able to do well in the latter half of the semester in that class. Dishware can be bought at discount retailers at cheap prices. Amazon runs great deals all the time. Going these routes you are guaranteed new items that all match. If getting items with character, retro or vintage looks, thrift stores are the way to go. You will always be able to find something, just don’t expect to find full matching sets. For cookware stainless steel with copper bottoms are good. A cast iron skillet is a must have in any kitchen. Try to find pots with lids. In some stores lids, pots, and pans get separated so be sure to check to see what goes with what before making a purchase. If you do choose to buy a new set of cookware, AmazonBasics 2-piece fry pan set is a great deal. Low-cost cookware and bakeware such as these Pyrex dishes can be found at thrift stores. Other cookware such as mixing bowls and baking dishes are also cheaper at thrift stores when compared to retail. Two brands that I recommend shopping for are Corningware and Pyrex if you can find them at the thrift stores. When mixing dishes of different brands try to stick to similar sizes and shapes so they will stack more easily in your cabinets. Avoid chipped, nicked, cracked, glued, or damaged dishes. Don’t buy scratched and damaged non-stick cookware. Microwaves, George Foreman grills, coffee makers, toaster ovens, blenders, slow cookers, and table top grills could all be found within the first few dorm rooms on any floor in any of the dormitories on my universities campus. In other words, college students live off these appliances. Throw in the waffle maker, a breakfast sandwich maker, the local pizza delivery number, and the need for a stove and oven is no more. All of these items can be found at thrift stores that carry small appliances. You may have to visit a few stores to get most of them, but you can save a load of cash fast when compared to these items at full retail. Small kitchen appliances can be found at thrift stores for prices that are 25% to 90% less than retail. If you are more of a foodie or the weekend chef who has an off campus apartment with a real kitchen, you can get more luxury appliances such as upright stand mixers at a heavy discount too. Also, don’t forget about small vacuum cleaners. New vacuums can be very pricey, a cheap older model high brand cleaner can be found at thrift stores. Be sure to check for appliances yard sales. People who remodel their homes and replace carpets with wood floors or tile have no need for the $300 Dyson cleaner and you can usually negotiate a great deal. So you have a new place or dorm. It may have a bed, shelf, and desk if you are lucky. But what about a table and some chairs? A couch? TV stand? Well, you can go to the furniture store and spend hundred or thousands of dollars. Or you can go to thrift stores and yard sales and save a small fortune. Check Facebook and join the local area yard sale groups to watch for yard sales with furniture. Chairs are just one of many pieces of furniture one can find for reasonable prices at thrift stores. I had bought two new pieces furniture when I moved into my new home, a couch and a love seat. After 3 years they were falling apart and for the price I paid, let me say I was not happy. I decided to go and buy a cheap set at one of the discount retail store chains for a few hundred dollars. They lasted about 2 years before they were falling apart. Having decided I am not wasting any more money, I started hitting the thrift stores with my mother. We found a La-Z-Boy couch and love seat set at only $75 per piece. For $150 I just replaced the two most expensive pieces of furniture in my living room. While the design is something out of the early 1990s, it fits quite well with my decor and they are very sturdy and very comfortable. As the start of the college year approaches it is never too early or too late to start hitting up the thrift stores to save some cash. Remember to always thoroughly check items before purchase for any damage or issues that may affect its functionality or safety. Good luck in your hunt for college savings. Let me know what else you shop for at thrift stores for your college dorm or housing on Twitter or Facebook.

Many spiders have attack mechanisms to fight off predators, but some will copy other insects to survive. Some spiders defend themselves with venom. Others simply hide in plain sight. Researchers studied how jumping spiders use mimicry to disguise themselves as ants. While most animals mimic by altering their physical appearance, spiders do it by changing how they move. That's because spiders are a more sought-after food than ants. But many of their predators — like some toads, lizards and wasps — have slow visual systems, so these spiders will move like ants to throw off attackers. The arachnids' motions are pretty sophisticated, too. They will replicate winding movements like ants do when they're following pheromone trails. They can even sell their act while standing still. When predators are around, they'll pick up their front two legs and wave them like antennae.
