When I signed the lease on my apartment, I put down first month's rent, last month's rent, and security deposit. Now the building has changed hands, I'm moving out, and my brand-new landlord is telling me I need to pay last month's rent again and she'll refund it later, along with the security deposit. Does she have any right to require me to do this? New York is the state. [more inside]

What is the meaning (if any) of these strange markings I saw on this door in the Steingasse in Salzburg yesterday? Is it bored teenagers? A weird Christmas thing? My google-fu is failing me here and I'm burning up with curiosity.

I havn't eaten anything sugary for the past 2.5 years. This includes things like: cola, cakes, candy, icecream, chocolate etc. I know that I can't be 100% sugarfree since things like orangejuice, bread, beer contains "small" amounts of sugar. I didn't start on this "thing" in order to become more healthy. I did it to test myself and my body. I havn't had any issues, but I am worried that it could be a potential healthrisk in the long run. So my question is: Do I risk my health in the long run if I continue on this "non-sugar"-thing?
