EDITORS’ NOTES

m

oving made easy!

Whether you’re relocating from one coast to the other or moving to your first place out of parents home, changing homes can be hectic, exciting and certainly stressful. But, relax.

You can eliminate all the anxiety sometimes associated with moving by taking control of the situation with confidence.

If you decide to move yourself, book a moving truck well in advance from a reliable company that can help you give you tips on moving as well as advice regarding the size of vehicle you will need.

If you decide to go with a pro, ask your friends and family for a recommendation of mover. Call at least three companies to ask about their services and then decide.

Professional movers can do everything for you if you wish, from packing and unpacking, to disconnecting appliances and electronics, but of course there’s extra cost involved.

Make sure you understand the terms of your agreement no matter what you decide as well any other additional costs, such as insurance and mileage costs so you can budget accordingly.

t

here are two kinds of people in this world – those that don’t enjoy riding the elevator to their home and those that don’t mind it. Oddly enough, I’m the former.

It has nothing to do with fear of heights or fear of blackouts or fear of elevators and everything to do with lack of patience. I have a hard time waiting for elevators. Oh, I know what I’m missing out on – I covet the magnificent view, the added quiet, the balcony above the trees. I know I’ve missed out on the opportunity to have casual conversations that lead to getting to know my neighbours. But in my day-to-day I just can’t wait, hence, I’ve never made it above the fourth floor – anything more is just too far to run up and down quickly and easily.

It’s good to know the little nuances of your own personality when you’re renting. It doesn’t have to make sense to anyone else but you. It’s the little things that will make a big difference to your rental experience in the end.

While budget, location and size may dictate a lot of your options, make sure you’re happy with the little things – like which exposure you’re facing and whether the kitchen has a double basin sink. Yes, something as innocuous as an interruption in the way you do the dishes can ultimately impact your comfort level at home.

With Renters Guide in hand you’ll find that perfectly comfortable place to call home. Our magazine and website, TheRentersGuide.ca, offer the best selection of available apartments as well as informative articles and advice, making it easy to make your move!

Spring cleaning

101

BY JANE HERMAN

W

hy does the return of longer days and warmer temperatures trigger an urge to purge our homes of clutter and engage in cleaning them from top to bottom? The warming weather means we can finally start to relegate our boots and heavy outerwear to the back of the closet – or at least pull some of the spring clothing into rotation. In tackling your own apartment organize the task into de-cluttering and cleaning and spread it out over a period of several weeks.

DE-CLUTTERING Thoroughly clean all boots, footwear and outerwear and clean out your coat closet.

Go through your collection of hats, gloves, and scarves, washing and cleaning where necessary, discarding odd gloves and organizing all into storage baskets. Wash your boot tray or hallway mat and put away in a closet until next winter.

Remove everything from your pantry.

Straighten up all your dry ingredients, discarding stale boxes of cereal, cookies, crackers, etc. Take an inventory of what you need and replenish with fresh spices, oils and other staples. Check under the sink and refresh your supply of sponges, cleaning products and other supplies. Go through your dishes, cutlery and cookware, discarding odd, broken items or things you never use. Treat yourself to a trip to a kitchen supply store and purchase something that will make food preparation and serving easier, such as a good set of storage containers, some new glasses, or a special serving piece.

Spring is a good time to go through your books, CDs and DVDs. Is it time for a new media storage unit or bookshelf?

Apartment storage space is limited and you don’t want to become a pack rat. Does your

coffee table look like a war zone? Move everything off of it and re-evaluate what you want it to be, a focal point for the room or a catch-all for your books and papers.

Go through your upper and lower bathroom cupboards, discarding all expired cosmetics and other products. Replace and replenish soaps, body wash, shampoo, sunscreen, paper products, etc. Check the condition of your towels – if you can afford it, spring is a good time to invest in a set of new ones.

Take time to re-arrange your wardrobe, so that warm weather garments are more accessible. Wash or dry clean garments before storing them in zippered bags.

Go through your closets, drawers, shoe collection, cleaning, polishing, repairing and discarding where necessary. Donate apparel you no longer use. Many apartment buildings now have charity drop boxes right on the grounds; if yours doesn’t, take things you no longer need or use to a donation centre.

CLEANING Turn off your refrigerator and begin by cleaning the dust off the coils (these are usually at the bottom, under the grill).

Clean with a vacuum attachment or damp cloth. Remove everything from inside the refrigerator and wash the bins and shelves in hot soapy water, drying thoroughly.

Defrost the freezer and wipe the interior with a solution of 2 tbs. baking soda per 1 litre hot water. Clean all the surfaces of the kitchen, including the walls, backsplashes, tops and doors of cupboards, and the oven.

Clean out your files, reviewing bank statements, paid bills, contracts, household inventories, warranties and other personal documents. Clean your computer keyboard

with a cotton swab; wipe the screen with a special cloth and spray cleaning solution.

Thoroughly clean or replace your mattress pad. Replace winter bedding with lighter, warm weather blankets. Clean your pillows to rid them of mould, bacteria and odours.

If you’ve been using your balcony as a storeroom, now is the time to move those snow tires, bicycles and other large items out of sight. On a warm day, clean your balcony sliding door. Mix up a solution of one part white vinegar and one part hot water. Using a large sponge, rub the glass with the water and vinegar solution to rub away the dirt. Wet a squeegee and wipe the glass thoroughly. Wipe the surfaces with lint-free cloths like cloth diapers or other cloths that have not been laundered with fabric softener which will leave a residue.

Clean the frames down as well.

Wipe down or vacuum all furniture and other surfaces, such as windowsills and baseboards. Clean window coverings and rugs. Check the batteries in your smoke detector and ensure they are free of dust.

Moving all the furniture to clean around and underneath where possible, dust and vacuum every room in the apartment, then wash and mop all floors. Open the windows and let the fresh air and sunshine in. Now, sit down and relax and enjoy the pleasure of your clean apartment!

L

et’s face it – your electronic devices make the world go round, and in the moving business, we realize how important those items are to families.

One of the most common questions we get is regarding how to transport electronics safely, especially big-screen TVs. During a move, whether it’s across town or across Canada, it is important to give these items special treatment so they arrive in one piece and in good working order. The best advice we have for accomplishing this goal requires some forethought: to keep the original boxes and foam spacers the electronic items came in. That is truly the safest method for moving them.

Of course, people rarely keep these boxes, so at Two Men and a Truck - Canada, we have specialty boxes and crates designed

finances

Pause, then plan, if overwhelmed by money IEF oFFErs thrEE tIps For copIng wIth monEy strEss: • Assess your situation. Take stock of your financial situation, identify what’s causing the stress and make a plan to address it. For example, if you’re overspending every month, use IEF’s budget worksheet to help you account for all expenses and find areas where you can cut back. In addition, if you’re weighed down by debt, use IEF’s pay off credit cards and debt calculator to prioritize which debts to pay off first.

W

orrying too much about money may be hazardous to your health. A recent study in North America found that people with high levels of debt-related stress are more likely to experience physical and mental health problems, such as heart attacks, high blood pressure, ulcers, insomnia, migraines, anxiety or depression, than those with low debt-related stress.

• Get help. A financial advisor can help provide some perspective and expertise to help you get back on track and feel more in control of your financial situation. Learn how to choose an advisor, and review the eight questions to ask in the “Getting advice” section of IEF’s website.

• Keep your eyes on the prize. As you make progress toward your goal, find small ways to reward yourself and stay motivated. Think cheap and cheerful – buy yourself flowers or do something healthy (and free) to take your mind off the stress.

“The impact of financial stress can be felt well beyond your wallet, but it shouldn’t take over your life,” said Tom Hamza, president of Investor Education Fund (IEF), Canada’s leading authority on financial literacy education and research. “The key to conquering money worries is to take action. Even small changes to your financial habits can make a big difference in the long run.”

quicktips

Protect yourself before signing

a cell phone contract today’s mobile phones can send e-mail, browse the web, and keep you in touch with friends and colleagues via voice or text message. tomorrow’s cell phones will add even more to the menu offerings.

While it’s exciting to get the cell phone with the latest technology, remember that a sale can also lock you into a two or threeyear cell phone contract. It’s important to take the time to carefully read any wireless services agreement before you enter into one. Choose your provider carefully and always shop around for the deal that offers you the services and goods you want, at the best price.

Ensure you fully understand the terms, restrictions and services you’re paying for. Add-ons or out-of-country services can quickly result in “cell shock” when the bills arrive. So too can trying to cancel a contract.

Consumers have rights and cell phone providers have responsibilities.

• Misrepresentation is illegal. Vendors cannot make false, misleading or deceptive representations about what you have agreed to buy.

• Read the fine print. Cell phone agreements must disclose all details

of what you are buying. While many agreements are negotiated orally with a salesperson, you should insist on your right to a written copy of your contract which outlines the terms and costs of the services you negotiated. And when you get your bill, check it carefully against your contract to ensure you are only being billed for what you agreed to.

• Know your cancellation rights. Depending on how you entered into the contract, (online, in person or by telephone) you may have additional cancellation rights. For example, you can cancel within one year of entering into a contract via telephone if it doesn’t include required information such as an accurate description of the phone you’ve agreed to buy or the date your service is to start. Check out your rights by visiting the Ministry of Consumer Services website at www.ontario.ca/ consumerservices.

New legislation has been introduced by the McGuinty government to make cell phone consumer protection laws in Ontario even stronger. If passed, the proposed Wireless Services Agreements Act, 2012 will benefit consumers by: • Capping cancellation costs.

• Requiring companies to use clear and plain language in their agreements so consumers understand what they are getting into.

• Allowing consumers to walk away from fixed-term contracts for a modest fee.

By fully understanding your rights, you can get the best value for your money.

quick tips

Which celeb’s legs are insured?

Ten weird and wacky celebrity insurance policies

M

odels, musicians, actresses and athletes have to take care of themselves to stay at the top of their respective fields. However, when one reaches such great levels of popularity it’s no surprise that they take precautions in the case of the unforeseen. With this in mind, online insurance, credit card and mortgage comparison service www.Kanetix.ca has compiled a list of the Top Ten Celebrity Insured Body Parts.

Counting down to the strangest, craziest body-part-relatedinsurance-coverage for some of the most recognizable celebs in the world, the list includes policies dealing in millions of dollars covering everything from a certain athlete’s hair ($1 000 000), to something as simple as a smile (a whopping $30 000 000 policy!). The level of vanity associated with such policies is almost unfathomable, but one has to consider that often the label, sponsor, or other deep-pocketed corporation have taken the policy out on their client.

Consider professional football player, Troy Polamalu, of the Pittsburg Steelers. He’s a spokesperson for the Head and Shoulders brand of hair products which, in 2010, took out a $1 million insurance policy from Llyod’s of London on Polamalu’s signature locks. It’s no wonder Polamalu eased his way into the top 10 with such an expensive and impressive head of hair!

The list takes into account two specific factors: the amount of money placed on the policy, and the sheer strangeness of it.

While some body parts are certainly stranger than others (see: David Lee Roth), weight is placed equally on the strangeness of a particular insured body part and the amount of money riding on the policy. In this sense, a few notable celebs were just shy of making the final cut: Tom Jones’ insured chest hair, cricket star Merv Hughes’ $370,000 mustache, and of course the legendary

bassist of KISS, Gene Simmons, and his infamous tongue which is reportedly insured for a whopping $1 million. Then again, these are just the honourable mentions; the official top 10 is jaw-dropping by comparison.

From a $300 million rear-end to Van Halen’s frontman having insurance on his reproductive parts, the realm of insuring celeb body parts is as fascinating as it is downright crazy.

It’s said that fame is fleeting, but if these policies are any indication it could at least lead to one heck of a payday.

Launched in October 1999, Kanetix was Canada’s first online car insurance quotes marketplace and today provides over a million quotes per year to consumers looking for insurance, as well as comparisons for mortgage rates and credit cards.

The Kanetix.ca comparison service is a one-stop shopping environment for consumers. Each day, thousands visit the Kanetix website to comparison shop their various financial needs.

Shoppers choose what they want to compare, obtain a quotation and complete an online application or, with the help of Kanetix connect with the provider to purchase or apply for the product over the phone.

Through its Software as a Service team, Kanetix is also the leading provider of online insurance quotation technology, developing online quotation systems, mobile solutions, actuarial tools and websites for many of Canada’s largest insurance brands.

LesLie styLes, foodie & traveL aficionado, shares some deLicious dishes found on her traveLs around the worLd.

nigeLLa’s chocoLate cherry trifLe

directions

Slice the chocolate pound cake into thick pieces and spread generously with cherry jam, rather like making big jam sandwiches, and layer in the bottom of a large, wide trifle bowl, squishing the cake down. Then pour over the cherry brandy so that the cake soaks it up — trifle should be boozy! Top with all of the drained cherries, being sure to push some against the side of the bowl, because that’s what you’ll see when the trifle is served. Cover with cling wrap and leave to macerate while you make the custard.

Melt 4 ounces of chocolate in a saucepan, over medium-low. Once the chocolate is melted, set aside while you get on with the custard. In a saucepan warm the milk and cream. Whisk the egg yolks, sugar, and cocoa in a large bowl.

Pour the warm milk and cream into the bowl whisking it into the yolks and sugar mixture.

Stir in the melted chocolate, scraping the sides well with a rubber spatula to get all of it in, and pour the custard back into the rinsed saucepan.

i

nspired by the same sinfully sensational ingredients as a Black Forest Gateau, namely several layers of chocolate Genoise, Kirsch-flavored Morello cherries, whipped cream and chocolate shavings, Nigella Lawson has created a recipe for Black Cherry Trifle that is both beautiful to look at and achingly delicious to eat. I made this glorious ‘pud’ for a recent dinner party, and was given a thumping endorsement by all.

Nigella suggests cheating and buying some chocolate cake and then tweaking it to make it your own. “I’m all for making life easier, and what makes my life easier when I have a crowd coming for supper, is to buy something and then make it even better. Once liquor and fruits are added, no one will tell the difference!” This is truly heaven in a bowl.

Cook over a medium heat until the custard thickens, stirring all the time. Make sure it doesn’t boil, as it will split and curdle. The custard will get darker as it cooks and the flecks of chocolate will melt once the custard has thickened. And you do need this thick, so don’t panic so much that you stop cooking while it is still runny.

ingredients serves 16 › 2 chocolate pound cakes, about 12 oz each

› 1 1/3 cups heavy cream plus 1 tablespoon

› 1 cup black cherry jam

› 8 egg yolks

› 1 1/2 cup cherry brandy

› 1/2 cup sugar plus 1 tablespoon sugar

› 4 cups drained sour cherries

› 1/3 cup cocoa powder

Custard: › 4 oz bittersweet chocolate (at least 70 per cent cocoa), chopped

Topping: › 3 cups whipping cream

› 1 1/3 cups whole milk plus 1 tablespoon

› 1 oz bittersweet chocolate grated
