but also retains functionality as everyday materials are easily in reach. It is nice to have everything where you can see, but it also doubles as a reminder to put things back. It becomes obvious when something is missing. In pantries and bathrooms, clear and visible containers means you can figure when it is time to restock as well. Narrow shelving provides easy, visible storage in pantries, closets, bedrooms and bathrooms. In a pantry, try using clear containers or jars for raw ingredients. Save space in the bathroom by displaying bottles, jars and cosmetics on a shelf for ease of use. One tip for girls: store makeup brushes upright in clear bins with beads to dress up the display. In general, this tip works with pens and pencils, scissors and cooking utensils as well.
In any living situation, space is almost always an issue. In order to keep counters clear, bookshelves classy and closets clean, try using the walls. Wall shelving is the first thing that may come to mind, but calendars, tack boards, hooks and cubbies are great for increasing storage on the wall.
Closets tend to be another region of clutter and chaos. To keep your closet from being the household black hole, use bins. Bins are good for floor storage, which provide a solid surface for folded clothes or shoes, as well as overhead storage on upper shelving. Keeping out-of-use items out of the way is important. What is not in regular use should be packed away. Winter

clothing, spare dishes and the shoes you only wear on nice occasions can all be stored in bins under beds and in closets. Organizing by season is another good way to clear out some clothes and shoes that are not in immediate use and can easily be stored away in bins. One should also keep in mind stacked shelving. Short, stacked shelves are great for storing small bins, which can store socks or tank tops, as well as shoes and folded clothing.

For some, organizing comes easy. But for others, it is difficult to keep things in their place and combined with similar items. Here, color-coding is a valuable tip. Anything can be color-coded, from the calendar to the closet. Homework, mail, bills and manuals are especially good for filing by color. Organizing things with color is great for visual thinkers, and also allows an excuse to colorize your life in another way. Papers do not have to stay white and boring if you file with color.
An organized area does not have to be dull. In fact, creativity is encouraged when organizing a space because you have the opportunity to make the space your own. Organization is a convergence of both style and functionality that you interact with on a daily basis, and it should always reflect you. Make your home your own with the style and decor you love.
Bookshelves are cheap and easy ways that students can organize their rooms.

Three killed, dozens injured in twin blasts

BOSTON — Two bombs exploded in the crowded streets near the finish line of the Boston Marathon on Monday, killing three people and injuring more than 130 in a bloody scene of shattered glass and severed limbs that raised alarms that terrorists might have struck again in the U.S.
A White House official speaking on condition of anonymity because the investigation was still unfolding said the attack was being treated as an act of terrorism.

President Barack Obama vowed
that those responsible will "feel the full weight of justice."
The twin blasts took place about 10 seconds and about 100 yards apart, knocking spectators and at least one runner off their feet, shattering windows and sending dense plumes of smoke rising over the street and through the fluttering national flags lining the course.
A senior U.S. intelligence official said two other bombs were found near the end of the 26.2-mile course in what appeared to be a well-coordinated attack.
Authorities shed no light on a motive or who may have carried
out the bombings, and police said they had no suspects in custody. Authorities in Washington said there was no immediate claim of responsibility. The FBI took charge of the investigation.
At Massachusetts General Hospital, Alisla Dairn, chief of emergency services, said: "This is something I've never seen in my 25 years here ... this amount of carnage in the civilian population. This is what we expect from war."
Some 23,000 runners took part in the race, one of the world's oldest and most prestigious marathons.
Boston Police Commissioner
Edward Davis asked people to stay indoorors or go back to their hotel rooms and avoid crowds as bomb squads methodically checked parcels and bags left along the race route. He said investigators didn't know whether the bombs were hidden in mailboxes or trash can, and that authorities had received "no specific intelligence that anything was going to happen" at the race.
"We still don't know who did this or why," Obama said at the White House, adding, "Make no mistake. We will get to the bottom of this."
With scant official information to guide them, members of Congress said there was little or no doubt it was an act of terrorism.
"We just don't know whether it's foreign or domestic," said Rep. Michael McCaul, R-Texas, chairman of the House Committee on Homeland Security.
The attack may have been timed for maximum carnage: The four-hour mark is typically a crowded time near the finish line because of the slow-but-steady recreational runners completing the race and because of all the relatives and friends clustered around to cheer them on.
