		<description><![CDATA[While going through Whizlab&#8217;s questions for Collections &#38; Generics, I found quite a few of questions with NavigableSet, NavigableMap, ConcurrentSkipList, etc.
So I decided I will learn those also for the exam. A good way to start is this link:

		<description><![CDATA[You can find a very concise article about Java Generics on IBM&#8217;s website :
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/j-jtp01255.html
 It explains quite nicely why Generics are the way they are. It touches type erasure, covariance, T type contructor, and others ( still reading  ).

		<description><![CDATA[I broke my car door handle. Being an old car I barely found a replacement handle. The guy who sold it to me wasn&#8217;t in the mood of changing it also.
So I had to do it. Basically all you need is a screwdriver star shaped and some free time( up to half an hour).

		<description><![CDATA[Googling didn&#8217;t help.
The local supermarket has only aluminium grill pans but on the internet I see much praise for the iron ones.
And I recall hearing something about aluminium not being healthy&#8230;
I want to make sure I take a good choice, as I plan to use it a lot. Let&#8217;s see what I discover.
 EDIT:
Issue solved, thanks [...]]]></description>

I just calculated my monthly expenses, added a buffer of 30% and came up with 2000 Euros ( around 3200 USD). It&#8217;s not that much.
