Being really, really lazy without starving
Whether you're extremely busy or excessively lazy, these eight-minute meals are an easy way to eat when you just don't feel like making anything better. Normal sandwich: Take two pieces of bread and whatever ingredients you have at hand. Ingredients might include: chicken, turkey (and other cold-cuts), tuna, lettuce, mustard, mayo, nutella, tomatoes, cheese, peppers, honey, pickles, olives, bacon and jam, among many others-although probably not all at once.
Low-stress pad thai
Pad thai originated on the street carts of Thailand before being brought westward and embraced by resturant patrons everywhere. There are as many recipes for pad thai as there are chefs; however, the two universal requirerments for producing successful pad thai are very high heat and constant stir-frying to avoid the ingredients sticking to the wok (or big pan).
The little taxi that could
The latest green machine is busy circumnavigating the globe in the guise of a solar powered car, driven by Swiss teacher Louis Palmer. It set off on July 3, 2007 and was most recently showing off its flashy Q-cells in Australia. Powered largely by a six square metre trailer of solar panels, the little blue car bears a taxi sign and its driver offers rides to all parties interested encountered on his world-wide tour.

Aside from the fact that, for many of us, cleaning our apartments regularly is quite the feat (especially during midterm season), mold can grow in even the cleanest of places if the air is moist and there is a lack of air circulation.
