Some lots only sell sedans, sports cars and full-sized vans, or do not have a large selection of minivans if they sell them at all. Apply for credit at the lot if you did not get pre-approved, unless you are able to pay the entire cost of the minivan upfront. If you do not like the offer given for the old car, consider selling it on your own unless you plan to keep it. This allows you to show the salesperson the price you were expecting if he told you a much higher one. If the dealership is unwilling to negotiate, check out a different lot until you see a price you like. While Kelly Blue Book is a good resource outlet. They are just that. They do not sell or buy vehicles, nor do they consider, in most cases, many of the reasons that one vehicle may be higher that another from lot to lot, or even on the same lot.

Make sure the calendar has appropriate space for you to list your tasks. Some calendars offer weekly, daily, or hourly planners. A notebook can also be used. Choose whatever best suits your wants and needs. Whatever you choose, commit to your choice. Do not try to have one planner for work, one for school, etc. Everything should be in one place. There are also many digital calendars for your phone or laptop that can synch to all of your electronic devices so that you always have ready access to your calendar wherever you are. There are also a number of apps that can help you schedule your day with reminders and timers. You might want to choose a digital or paper calendar that has some extra space so you can add notes to your schedule. This can help you keep track of not only what you've done but how you did it and/or how it made you feel. For example, maybe below the section "Go to the gym" on your calendar, you want to not only check it off but also note that you "Ran an extra mile today and felt great!" Adding notes can help you keep better track of your behavior. If you are making the switch from a paper to digital calendar, you may find things a bit hectic for a day or two as you get used to the new system. Keep both with you for the first few days and check to make sure nothing has been left out or double-booked.

If you like, you can marinate your flank steak before grilling it, or you can season it with salt and pepper if you prefer. Heat one side of a charcoal or gas grill to high heat and have the other side prepared for lower, indirect heat. Place the steak over the direct heat for 1-2 minutes on each side to get it seared. Move it to the cooler side, close the grill, and let it cook for a few more minutes until it's cooked to your desired doneness. You can check the doneness by taking the temperature of the steak with a meat thermometer. For rare steaks, the temperature should be 130140F (5460C), for medium-rare 145F (63C), for medium 160F (71C) and for well-done at least 170F (77C). The broiler on your oven basically acts like a grill, except the heat comes from the top instead of the bottom and you can control the temperature more easily. Place the steak on a broiler pan on a baking sheet with a wire rack. Line the pan with aluminum foil for easy clean-up. Turn the broiler on high and broil the steak for 4-6 minutes on each side.

the staff, the parts of a note, and the basics of notating durations of notes and rests. Make sure you understand the above, and then let's dive into the fun stuff: reading music! The C major scale is the first scale we use when teaching how to read music because it's the one that uses just natural notes (the white keys on a piano). Once you have that locked into your brain cells, the rest will follow naturally. First, we'll show you what it looks like, then we'll show you how to make sense of it, and begin to read music! Here's what it looks like on the staff. See the "C scale" above. If you'll take a look at the first note, the low C, you'll see that it actually goes below the staff lines. When that happens, we simply add a staff line for that note onlythus, the little line through the note head. The lower the note, the more staff lines we add. But we don't need to worry about that now. The C scale is made up of eight notes. These are the equivalent of the white keys on the piano. You may or may not have a piano handy, but at this point, it's important for you to begin to get an idea of not just what music looks like, but of what it sounds like, too. " That may sound intimidating, but chances are, you already know it: it's the fancy way of saying "do, re, mi." By learning to sing the notes that you see, you'll begin to develop the skill of sight readinga skill that can take a lifetime to perfect, but will be useful right from the beginning. Let's take a look at that C scale again, with the solfege scale added. See the "C Scale Solfege 11" above. Chances are, you know the Rogers and Hammerstein song "Do-Re-Mi" from The Sound of Music. If you can sing the "do re mi" scale, do that now while you look at the notes. If you need a refresher course, you can hear the song on YouTube. Here's a slightly more advanced version, walking up and down the C scale using the solfege notes. See the "C Scale Solfege 1" above. Practice singing Solfegepart II a few times, until it becomes familiar. The first couple times, read very slowly so that you can look at each note as you sing it. The next couple times, substitute the "do re mi" for C, D, E. The goal is to sing the actual notes. Remember our note values from before: the high C at the end of the first line, and the low C at the end of the second line are half notes, while the rest of the notes are quarter notes. If you imagine yourself walking, again, there is a note for each step. The half notes take two steps.
