Straight from the Runway at Discount Prices
Discount Shopping in New York City includes some unique discount stores, where everyday prices beat any department store sale. Another great NYC find are our Resale and Consignment Shops. Their gently used items might have been worn once, by a model or actress, during a Fashion Week runway show.
Discount Department Stores
When shopping in New York City, you should definitely try our unique discount store, Century 21. The stores are excellent and their everyday prices beat any department store sale. Their prices are similar to clearance prices, but usually during the current season. As with most discount stores, they are "hit or miss," depending on the day/week you go and what you're looking for…but you never know what goodies you can find.
Century 21 Discount Department Store
Century 21 has huge Men's, Women's, Childrens and Home departments. Located near Wall Street, they originally targeted the business shopper. Because they work directly with garment district reps, and only have to stock locally, they carry very high end designers. Armani, Pucci, Prada and Missoni are regulars and they have a great shoe department for both men and women.
If you are downtown (9-11 Memorial, Wall Street), Century 21 is definitely worth checking out. Their hours revolve around Wall Street, please check in advance.
Financial District – 22 Cortlandt St (Church/Broadway)
Upper West Side – 1972 Broadway, near Lincoln Center
Nordstrom Rack Discount Department Store
Just one block from DSW discount shoes, making Union Square somewhat of a discount shopping destination. Nordstrom Rack is the outlet of the famous department store, which does not have a NYC store. Their brands are not as upscale as Century 21, but they have a good Men's and Women's clothing and shoe selection (no kids).
60 East 14th St (4th Ave/Broadway) Union Square
Saks Off Fifth
Opened March 2016, Saks Off Fifth is a joint venture between my favorite shopping site, Gilt, and Saks Fifth Ave. I've only been once, but there was a fantastic selection of the same brands and goods found at Saks and Gilt, with super-friendly and helpful sales people.
Midtown East – 125 E 57th Street (Park Ave)
Bloomingdale's Outlet
Recently opened in 2015, to mixed reviews. Some have scored great finds on quality merchandise, and others say it is not the quality of the midtown Bloomingdales.
Upper West Side – 2085 Broadway @72nd St
Fox's Discount Store
Designers include Michael Kors, Elie Tahari and Free People at up to 70 percent off.
Upper East Side – 147 E 86th St @ Lexington Ave
Upper West Side – 2234 Broadway @80th St
Cosmetic Market
A completely unique experience in NYC, the Cosmetic Markets has bargains to be found, but they are definitely hit or miss. Tons of high end cosmetics, some discontinued, many are the "gift with purchase" travel sizes from department stores, but since many items are $.99 or less, worth a stop if near Grand Central and the NY Public Library.
Midtown East – 15 E 37th St (between 5th/Mad)

Shopping in New York City – Resale Stores
Let me dispell any misnomers about our Resale and Consignment Shops in Manhattan – they are incredible gems. All their items are hand-picked by the stores' managers, who are fashionistas, and are either brand new with tags, or very gently used. It is not uncommon for gently used to mean it was worn once, by a model or actress, during a photo shoot or runway show.
True Story: I once picked up a pair of Christian Louboutins for $110, that still had the Neiman Marcus tag on the sole, along with the last name of a runway model and the show in which she wore them at Fashion Week!!
Brands regularly stocked include: Prada, Chanel, Hermés, Gucci, Armani, Versace, Christian Louboutin, Manolo Blahnik, Theory, Missoni and more – all at a fraction of the retail cost. For a true shopping in New York City experience, our resale stores are not to be missed.

By Katie
I've never met a religious holiday I didn't like. I'm not partial either: it doesn't have to be my own tradition. I've been angling for a Passover invitation from one of my Jewish friends for years, to no avail. And so a few years ago when Humaira kindly invited me and my family to her Eid celebration, there was no hesitation.
Muslim traditions were unfamiliar to me, and truth be told, the only thing I knew for certain about Eid was that I would be eating well. I quickly learned that Eid (pronounced Eed) is in fact a cherished holiday steeped with meaning from which all of us, no matter what our background, can be inspired.
Humaira's family thinks of the holiday as one of renewal and celebration: Making amends, righting past wrongs, forgiveness and feasting with loved ones. Afghans open their homes all day and into the night to family and friends who come, unannounced, for a little hospitality and company.
A few years ago, I felt privileged to sit in Humaira's mother's living room, nibbling from the plates of assorted goodies (candied almonds, dried fruits, fresh grapes, cookies and spicy chick peas) arranged on the coffee table, as a slow parade of great aunties, distant cousins, neighbors and friends stopped by to drink hot, cardamom-scented tea and reconnect. Afghans old and young sat together, some wearing head scarves and speaking Farsi, others in Western-style clothing speaking English. This was followed by a bountiful spread of Afghan dishes, dessert, and more tea.
Monday was the first day of Eid. Perhaps we can all brew up a pot of cardamom tea to share with someone and think about renewal in our own lives. Just a thought.
Cardamom Tea
Serves 2
Bring 2 1/2 cups of water to a boil and pour into your teapot. Steep 1 1/2 tbsp. loose black or green tea along with 1/4 tsp. ground cardamom in the water for several minutes until good and strong. Pour through a fine mesh strainer into two teacups. Add 1 tsp. of sugar to each cup, if you like it sweet.

This tail plug worked out beatifully. My pup loved it!
Was so easy to stick in my cunt. Great lube.
Seem great size. product is what was described. Hard to use finally got it started and got about 8 in in just couldnt grab hold of it to work it in farther without it bending. Suction cup hasn't stuck to anything good enough to hang where you need it, little to heavy to stay put which would make it easier to use. Will get it sooner or later

Documentary Filmmaking
In the summer of 2016, I began directing and producing a short documentary called "Saving Steven", a story about a veteran and his dog. Djaingo, a charismatic pound dog, has helped Steven through many dark times, including chronic illness, PTSD, and depression. Steven claims that he saved Djaingo's life once, but Djaingo saves him daily. This project is currently in rough cut.
I filmed and produced a promotional video for Odo Sound, a tech-based music school based in Austin, Texas.
During the summer of 2016, I was a videographer and audio recorder for "Good Goodbyes", a short film about the pet foster system in Austin, Texas. This film was edited and directed by Stuart Phillips of Grateful Dog Productions.
In addition to these projects, I am currently collaborating with Meagan O'Connell of Fikatha Media to film "Punk Scientists", a series of shorts about unconventional scientists. This project is currently in the process of being filmed.

been trying to ride a bunch,
always easy to want more at
this time of year. solid 8.5 hour
session in Michaux last wknd,
totally diggin' the proto ring.
seems beefy enough to handle
those goofy fixed torquey log
moves and incidental rock grinds.
1/8" hand filed love, 40t x 110 for the skinny tires.took these pics a little while ago,
after this wknd, should have about
500miles on it, happy with the way
it's holding up, intentionally using
a chain whose age is sorta unknown,
I know I put over 3000miles on
it last year, Duffy had it for a couple
years and Harlan before that, safe to
say that it's streeeeeeeeeeeeetched.
Meshing nicely though, it is time for
a new chain, but need a fresh thread on
cog also. figure to log a cool grand to see
how it holds up, then we'll see.
The Mt Exter ring has somewhere
around 25-30hours on it so far,
don't know how that translates
exactly, but it's still looking good,
been running a chain that started
with 500ish on it, trying for a 'worst
case' type testing scenario.
happy so far, not a hiccup yet, beyond
those loose bolts a little while back......
hope everybody is out 'gittin sum!'

The first kiss can force anyone into a tailspin of uncertainty, fear of rejection and over-thinking. But, things levels out when you understand the secrets of kisses and your next smooch will be a lot easier to handle than the first one. Timing is the key to enjoy and cherish a great kiss. So, when is the perfect time for a first kiss? Follow these proven tips:
Tip #1
You can anticipate your girlfriend's readiness to move forward by noticing how she responds to your casual touches, such as touching her hand in the popcorn bag, sweeping her shoulders when she wears her coat, etc. If she pulls away or feels uneasy, then slow down a little, and take some time. If she smiles, giggles or blushes, then it's time you up your game. Put your hand over her hand while you have dinner, or hold her hand while walking her to her car, or the park. This is a relaxed approach toward getting smooched.
Tip #2
A simple way to find out how your girlfriend feels about you is to evaluate her response when you hug her. When saying hello or goodbye, keep your embrace brief, and assess her nonverbal feedback. If she presses her body against yours and keeps on hugging, take the opportunity to kiss her for the first time. If she looks a turned off, then just give that awful double pat on her back, and set her free. Maybe you should consider putting a little more effort to loosen her up and head towards romance.
Tip #3
Women expect their boyfriends to ask them before they kiss them. If you aren't sure, and to be on the safe side, we suggest you ask her before kissing them. It might make a gentleman or a wimp; we can't be sure about it. Remember, we're talking about a simple display of affection here. You want to kiss her, and the exciting and sexist to way to land a kiss on her lips is to be spontaneous. If you want her to get excited, then kiss her instantly without asking her. Besides, if she isn't into kisses or simply not in the mood, she will allow you to kiss her on the cheek. Keep her wide welcoming, and don't act lecherous and you will see she appreciates your move.
Tip #4
The first kiss is very special for women. They love it even more when it's positive, memorable and if it happened spontaneously. So, find a time to kiss your lady when she expects it the least. Plant your first kiss when your date might not be expecting it and guarding against it – a lip lock. Don't try to kiss her at the end of the date as those moments are full of pressure and tension. Instead, pay close attention to her cues and try kissing her earlier in the date or don't kiss her at all.
A kiss is an intimate and passionate part of a romantic relationship. The key is to figure out the best time to kiss her is to pay attentions to nonverbal cues and body language. If you're dating someone new, there isn't any written rule that you've to end your date with a kiss. Sometimes it's better to wait and work up for that passionate smooch.

Chapter XIV, XV Summary
In Chapter XIV, Jair, Garet Jax, and Slanter continue toward Culhaven. Nearby, the water of the Silver River is murky, with dead fish, rodents, and birds. Jair wishes his companions would talk more, but they are mostly silent. They pass by groups of Dwarves, none of whom offer a greeting. In the center of town they are stopped by a Dwarf patrol, then a Dwarf named Elb Foraker comes to greet Garet Jax. He had asked Garet Jax to come to Culhaven. Foraker is surprised to learn that Allanon is still alive. Like the Ohmsfords, he had not seen Allanon for twenty years. Garet Jax wants Jair to speak before the Dwarf Council of Elders that evening, to tell his story. Reluctantly, Elb Foraker agrees to make the request. Jair and Slanter have a conversation, similar to others, about...

James Zogby, the founder and president of the Arab American Institute, is about to wrap up his tenure on the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF). He is not leaving quietly.
Zogby, who was appointed to two terms on the commission by former President Barack Obama, sent a stunning letter to the commission, expressing his dissent from the latest report as well as his dissatisfaction with the way the commission goes about its business. New congressional legislation, he writes, "does not propose a new strategy. Instead, it doubles down on the failed approaches of the past. Micro-managing how the Administration organizes its foreign policy apparatus; establishing a false hierarchy of human rights; adding new staff, creating new mandates, and requiring more reporting – will not make change. These measures will only serve to add confusion to an already dysfunctional system."
A major flaw that Zogby highlighted in his letter of departure was the commission's refusal to address issues of religious freedom in the Israel. At a press conference presenting these issues on Wednesday, Zogby repeatedly stated that the USCIRF's double standard when it comes to Israel both undermines its credibility when it criticizes other countries and sends the message that those who face religious discrimination from Israel—citizens as well as Palestinians living under Israeli occupation—do not merit having their rights defended.

Coca-Cola comes back with two new spots for its "Open Happiness" ad campaign, returning to real life scenes, but not too much. The two ads are called "Library" and "Crave," and carry on the playful Coca-Cola tone from the world of fantasy.
"Library" says it all about the setting but clearly not enough about the content. Two teens stir up their dull study time by quietly exchanging sketches drawn on their hands and arms; sketches that slowly come to life. The flirting reaches a peak with a touch of hands which allows for Coke to slowly pour from one drawing to another.
But wait: Are drinks even allowed in the library? If I could bring drawings to life, in a library, with lots of studying to do, I would rather draw a door to the Phuket islands.
The second ad, "Crave," follows the same daydreaming mood and explores the thoughts of a thirsty man, obsessed with the idea of a refreshing Coke. He sees the legendary shape of its bottle everywhere--in cars, in statues, in buildings… Eventually, after much turmoil and anxiety, he quenches his thirst at a nearby shop. Obviously, this could easily make a great concept for a condom ad by replacing the infatuation theme appropriately.
I thirstily buy into this comeback of the 'Coke side of life!'

SCS Nutrition Program – Wellness and CPR Training
Calls for "Help" can be somewhat comforted with someone who is certified in CPR, AED, and First Aid. Where most accidents/incidents happen is the cafeteria at a school. SCS cafeteria staff is receiving training to use good judgement and will be "willing and able" to assist if needed. The instruction is an effort to achieve the school system goals for Professional Learning.
Two classes are offered for certifications on Friday, September 9, and the other on Friday, November 17, 2017. At the end of the four-hour class, participants will have a certificate in these three areas: First Aid Basics, Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR), and Automated External Defibrillation (AED).
There are six parts to complete the course. They are as follows: Good Samaritan Law; Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) and Automated External Defibrillation (AED); First Aid Basics; Medical Emergencies; Injury Emergencies; and Environmental Emergencies.
Trying to assist someone in trouble relates to what is allowed under the Good Samaritan Law. CPR and AED include scene assessment, adult, child, and infant CPR and AED as well as compression, airway, and breathing techniques. First Aid Basics cover duties, roles and responsibilities of certified first aid rescuers. After assessing the scene, we learn when to phone for help, what precautions to take, finding the problem and trying to protect the person's privacy.
Cafeteria staff will also learn to handle breathing problems, chocking victims, allergic reactions, heart attack, fainting, stoke and seizures. Injury emergencies that we try hard to avoid, but are necessary to learn about giving aid are external and internal bleeding; head, neck, and spinal injuries; broken bones and spines; and burns and electrical injuries. Environmental emergencies included are bites and stings, heat-related, and poison-related emergencies.
The four-hour class is taught by Chris Brown, certified instructor for American Heart Association, CPR, First Aid and AED Training. His mother is Mrs. Luneda Brown, MSN, RN, Sumter County Health Department.

Last night was crazy with the late scratch of Jimmy Butler. I had him in all my FanDuel lineups. Luckily, he was 40% owned in my 50/50s, which gave me some hope.

Throughout all the hard work the team and I put together to make this site a reality, I am glad to say we are finally ready for business! Tonight's spicy 6 game slate features a ton of back-to-back games from teams playing yesterday and a lot of key injuries to focus on. From what we know now, both Derozan (ankle) and Embiid (knee) are ruled out tonight. One thing to note however, is that Clippers All-Star Blake Griffin will be probable to play tonight against the 76ers. So, without question, it will definitely be interesting to build a lineup tonight.
With that being said, let's get into the slate!

People, who are looking for emergency cash loans for rent, usually have no time to wait. Otherwise, they will simply lose their apartments. Therefore, online and local private lenders along with government have launched emergency rental assistance programs.
The mechanism of emergency loans for rent is the same as for other types of emergency loans – application, approving, and decision.
To be eligible for an emergency loan for rent, the household level should be of a certain level of poverty (usually around 100%). Sometimes you should be under the threat of eviction and present a letter from a landlord. Furthermore, some private lenders require borrowers to apply for local social services for emergency rent loan aid first.
Need Money for Rent?
Сompanies that leadership positions in lists of emergency loans for rent Texas are:
- San Antonio Payday Loan;
- Cash Advance Today;
- 100 Lenders;
- 24/7 Loans.
Speaking of emergency loans for rent Arizona:
- Mesa Payday Loan;
- Zippy Loan;
- Next Payday Advance.
Rent vs. Salary in the USA
These are one of the most reasonable choices for residents looking for emergency low-cost loans for rent.
Possible lending amounts differ. Some companies such as Better Loans Mutual offer up to $5,000, while Zippy Loan can assure up to $15,000. So, based on your location, you can look for companies that offer help when you need money for rent.
Not every company will accept bad credit. So, you should check out the terms and requirements beforehand. Don't forget to check out reviews of the potential lending company, as emergency loans contain many pitfalls. You won't benefit from this deal but you will get money to finance your living in apartments.

- Description
The HY80P is a powerful, one-off order for a special build petrol water pump developed by the Hyundai brand, with a compact and lightweight design for easy transportation and storage. Utilising the same specification as the standard Hyundai HY80 water pumps, these units have been designed with a hard wearing aliminium pump for the pumping of clean water. Weighing only 29kg and housed in a solid open frame, the HY80P is an "easy-carry" as an on-the-go unit.
The HY80P is extremely impressive, pumping 15,000 litres of water per hour more than the standard HY80 (1000L/min) with a maximum head of 26m. It features a new 7.0hp Hyundai engine, with slightly more power than the standard HY80's IIC200 6.5hp 4-stroke petrol engine, allowing for a higher rate of flow. The 3" inlet and outlet allow for this massive water transfer and also enable the HY80 to handle debris up to the size of 9mm in diameter.
The HY80 is a fresh water pump and should not be used with sea water or corrosive fluids as this could damage the internal components. Warranty on these items is for 30-day return to base,

When crews unearthed Washington Avenue north of the tracks this summer and replaced utilities and added streetscapes, they added another piece of the history below and above the street.
"Probably the most unique thing about working in these downtown areas is there are old steam lines that we have to contend with," City Engineer Jon Pratt said.
When the Washington Avenue project was done, it was no exception. The steam lines still exist, and some of the lines still run into the businesses the lines once served. Although the dates are "fuzzy," Pratt and fellow Ulteig engineer Marty Jensen said they think the steam lines were discontinued in the late 1970s or early '80s.
The main plant was located near the police station. Jensen said many people likely remember the old smokestack towering into the skyline. Pratt said that city icon came down in the mid-1980s.
They said the steam lines were primarily used for businesses, but there may have been some residential hooked up to it as well.
"I think some of the very original neighborhoods may have had some access to it," Pratt said.
Jensen said it was unique the way the pipes were insulated back then -- the steel lines being wrapped with wood.
He said on north Washington Avenue, engineers and construction crews laid the sanitary sewer lines directly above the existing lines.
"We could see the trenching that they did," he said of the first lines laid. "Basically they had a trench that was two-feet wide, and then they would shore that up with wood while they were digging."
"Because they didn't have the mechanical means like we can cut these huge trenches," Pratt added.
Back then, Jensen said, everything was hand dug.
Since the sewer collection system is a gravity one, lines have to be laid in the same location for the system to work properly. Not to mention some of the old lines were still in use.
Pratt said records at Ulteig go back to about the 1940s on the Detroit Lakes streets, so it's hard to find some history dating back before that.
"We don't have any records specifically of when this went in," he said of the Washington Avenue utilities. "We can't say for sure, but it's very likely these utilities were probably one of the first utilities put in in town."
The north side of the railroad tracks is where Detroit Lakes began historically, "so it's very reasonable to assume they were put in in the '20s."
The water mains were made of cast iron. As a filler, they pounded in lead where needed. And while not as reliable today, those products lasted about 90 years before being replaced now.
Another common thing found in the downtown area when reconstructing, Pratt added, is that the basements "actually protrude out underneath what is current day sidewalks. Old coal chutes, primarily, so people had easy access to get coal down into their basements if they had a secondary source of heat beyond the steam."
Washington Avenue was once a portion of State Highway 59, running downtown, along Big Detroit Lake. From there, it was turned over to Becker County at some point and became County Highway 22, which it still is today.
County Engineer Brad Wentz said that when the project was redone this summer, "there were several layers of concrete, pavers and asphalt" dug up, but that historical information on the start of the road is scarce since it was first a state highway. Research at the Becker County Historical Society proved scarce as well.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 22.214.171.124
Forum Moderators: martinibuster
I wonder if switching to YPN would make a difference?
Also I have articles that serve ads that are paying $4+ per click but I dont seem to get those type of ads. I get the one's for 40 cents. Is adsense usng PR to see who deserves the higher paying ads or is there something else?

My problem is that I'll make about $50/day some days and other days only $20.
over here in sunny Malaysia, USD50 a day translates to RM6K. More than enough for a whole family to enjoy the good things in life!
my target is USD100 a day... I'm 15% there...
Even if you are only receiving $20.00 you are still averaging 20 cents per click.
There are a ton of publishers running Adsense who would be absolutely thrilled to match your results.
btw, I have a ctr of close to 100% at a section where people can check for links on related companies... they seem to follow every damn link on there :))
If you ask them to follow links, you are asking for trouble with adSense. CTR of 100% is definitely a 'red flag'...
Maybe you can improve your performance a bit by using adsense channels. Use them to find out which topics pay best.
Provide more, deeper information about those topics.
Keep on building your site :-)
What do you expect, $3 per click?
If you read the last part of his post ... yes, apparently - he does expect $4 clicks. He even has "articles" (purchased? created? OP doesn't state) "that serve ads that are paying $4+ per click" but then laments that "I dont seem to get those type of ads".
Strikes me a bit as another "Where is the pot of money. Someone told me there was a pot of money here. Please direct me to the pot of money." -ish post.
and the webmaster complaining about earning peanuts, i can't believe it. i tell you what: 0.25 $ seems to be the absolute max unsmartpriced amount that i'm able to earn per click on extremely lucky rare days - not with a blog but with a niche site. so shut up.
I am new here and I just want to express my observation.The Original Poster really have a great problem. It's not what he's making but it's his 2000 unique visitors a day. 6.5% of your visitors click ads.
Probably your visitors are not interested enough to your pages that they are not clicking that much!
Where is my bucket of money?
If you don't have the subject matter you don't get $4 clicks, it's that easy.
5,000 uniques, 20,000 page views per day (totally original content 50 pages)
I get a thousand $.25 clicks perday and in Sept that will double.
Stop your greed on the small end it is totally a numbers game, more traffic, more fraffic, more traffic!

The only way we manage to boost our income (and only by about $4 a day) is through googles downloadable software such as FF and picassa.
Still looking for that optimum ballance of traffic and content...content drives traffic....traffic drives me to make better content...round and round we go :-p
What is the mediant age of your visitor?
What is their disposible income?
What is the average spend on a product for an advertiser on your site?
Combine those 3 factors and that gives you the answer.
Web advertising is no different than traditional in these respects.
Like my momma always sez, "Forrest, if you want to catch nice fish you need nice bait".
I bring in business decision makers, college professors and scientists all income $50,000 and up.
Products/Services in ads runs from $50 to $500 with more on the upper side.

An Athens couple died Friday evening in what police believe was a murder-suicide.
The couple's 9-year-old son discovered his parents' bodies in a room of their home at 130 Chardonay St. between Nowhere Road and Freeman Drive about 6 p.m. and called 911, said Capt. Clarence Holeman, commanding officer of Centralized Criminal Investigations for the Athens-Clarke Police Department.
Police did not release the couple's names, the way they died or other details Friday night.
"I'd rather not, until the family has a chance to digest what's going on," Holeman said.
Many family members live in the Athens area, he said.
The couple's bodies were taken to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation Crime Lab for autopsies, according to Holeman.
It was unclear where the child was at the time, but Holeman said he had been at home with his parents because Friday was a holiday for students in the Clarke County School District.
It marked the third time this year in Athens where two or more people died in the same crime.
On April 25, University of Georgia marketing professor George Zinkhan III shot and killed his wife, Marie Bruce, 47; Thomas Tanner, 40; and Ben Teague, 63, who tried to intervene, outside the Town and Gown Theatre on Grady Avenue.
Zinkhan, 57, disappeared, but five days later police found his abandoned sport utility vehicle in a ravine in a large wooded area in western Clarke County.
Police searched the vicinity, but it wasn't until May 9, 2009. that a cadaver dog led officers to a shallow grave Zinkhan had dug before committing suicide.
Four months earlier, on Jan. 28, police said John David Latimer shot and killed his two sisters and his brother in their trailer at Hallmark Mobile Home Park in Eastern Clarke County.
Latimer, 52, pleaded not guilty to 13 felonies in the deaths of Janice Carol Patterson, 57; Sara Kathleen Tatum, 61; and Thomas Garland Latimer, 50.

Outdoor Event Make It Memorable
Do you have an outdoor event to plan on the horizon? To make your event memorable for all the right reasons, a little planning done a few months ahead will reduce the likelihood of any mishaps from occurring. Outdoor events can be held for many reasons ranging from music festivals, weddings, parties or family get togethers.
The larger your event, the sooner you should start to plan. Some areas may require you to get a permit before your event can take place. If you wish to feature fireworks or loud music ensure you check out regulations needed.
There are certain areas that need planning no matter how large or small your event is going to be, the following guide will help.
Plan your space
Careful planning of the space you have available will ensure that your guests are as comfortable as possible. If the location is a distance from you, take photographs and measurements.
If you have live music, planning your space is essential. The band will likely need access to power for equipment and all weather protection. Allow space for a dance floor and arrange tables accordingly.
Plan where your food will be served from and where you will situate the bar. Toilets are also another essential consideration, if you are going to hire portaloo style facilities, think carefully on where you will situate them, preferably well away from food, but close enough for them to be lit when the sun sets.
Your guests will definitely need feeding. Depending on the event planned you may want to do the catering yourself, hire caterers or ask everyone to bring a dish to share.
If pizza is your "thing" it is possible to hire a pizza oven trailer , pizzas are always popular and are great for feeding a crowd.
Plan for the amount of crockery and cutlery you are going to need, depending on the type of event you may wish to choose the convenience of disposable plates and cutlery.
Many companies hire out crockery for events as well as glasses and table cloths. You could even consider hiring tables and chairs.
Hopefully the weather will be lovely and warm, so ensuring your guests are hydrated is a priority. It is important to cater for all tastes whether it be alcoholic or not. If children are attending your event, make sure lots of soft drinks are available. If your event is large, consider hiring a bar with staff to run it, this will remove a lot of pressure from you, the host. If your event is busy with families, it would be a good idea to serve drinks in plastic glasses for safety reasons.
The colours of the decorative touches you add to your event, depends on the occasion. For example if it is a wedding party the bride and groom will have a colour theme, complementing their bridesmaids and cake. Birthday parties can be personalised to the party recipient and events relating to commemorative days speak for themselves.
White table cloths are always a good base for anything else you wish to add. Outdoor events look amazing as the sunsets when lit with candles, bunting can look lovely blowing in the summer breeze.
Whatever you decide on, it is your opportunity to be creative. With plenty of planning you will be able to relax and enjoy the day!

Satellite image of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant
Beijing - Our hearts, thoughts, and prayers are with the people of Japan as they continue both the earthquake recovery effort and the struggle to bring the Fukushima nuclear reactors under control.
We are especially moved by the power plant workers who have stayed behind, braving high levels of radioactivity to prevent a worse disaster. They are bearing the brunt of the radioactivity right now; we salute them for their resilience and dedication, and hope that they will pull through with minimal effect.
For residents in China, there is very little need to worry for now. The risk of radioactive exposure is very low: The radioactive releases that have occurred thus far are highly unlikely to be an immediate danger to China.
Even in the worst-case scenario - a massive release of radiation resulting from a breach in the containment vessel surrounding the core or damage to the spent fuel - the relative risk to north China would be low.
Simulations show that radioactive plumes from light-water reactors - such as the ones in Fukushima - will remain lower in the atmosphere than those emitted by the nuclear reactors of Chernobyl. This means that the radioactivity would not spread as far, with lower risks of exposure for regions thousands of kilometers away. Most of the radiation would contaminate the areas up to several hundred kilometers from the nuclear reactor.
Wind direction and speed is another factor. The wind direction is forecasted to turn to the east, blowing radioactive elements out over the Pacific.
The Chinese government should monitor wind direction and wind speed, as well as ask for more specific data about the releases of radioactivity from the Japanese government.
The forecast of wind direction from the state meteorological service of Austria - ©zamg
Iodine pills have significant side effects and should not be taken unless the government issues instructions, or if a large radioactive cloud is approaching. They should also only be taken in prescribed doses. The pills are only effective before potential exposure, to protect against the absorption of radioactive iodine by the thyroid gland.
There is little use in buying a Geiger counter (to detect radioactivity). Handheld meters require trained users to conduct and interpret measurements to produce reliable results. The meters would only be useful if there is a strong indication that there is radioactive contamination and the government is not being truthful about it.
The first thing for people to do is to get informed (see links below). Once contamination is confirmed, people are advised to stay inside, close windows, and wash thoroughly if you have been outside. In areas where elevated radiation is reported, avoid drinking milk and wash vegetables. Consider taking iodine pills if available.
Time is of paramount importance if an order to stay indoors is issued. As long as the order is in force, people should only leave their homes if they need acute medical attention, not (for example) to get food or water supplies. The need for stay indoors may range from hours to days.
China has deployed radiation test vehicles around major cities in China, especially the coastal areas close to Japan. The Ministry of Environmental Protection is monitoring the situation and has updated analyses daily at www.mep.gov.cn. Timely, honest information disclosure is critical for the government to prevent people from panicking.
As the Fukushima nuclear reactors are spiraling out of control and threatening the wellbeing of the nearby people and environment, it is high time for China and other countries reflect on and rethink their nuclear programs. China can – and should – develop a comprehensive package to improve its energy efficiency, invest in the safer and cleaner options of wind and solar energy, and reform the state grid system to allow for the massive uptake of renewable energy.
Nuclear power is inherently dangerous and polluting: even without the risk of earthquakes or tsunamis, the disposal of nuclear waste can be another nightmare. With such clean energy options as wind and solar, it's time we left nuclear behind.

The Gin Spa was opened in December 2017 by the owners of Gin71, a bar dedicated to all things gin, and claims to be the first botanically inspired day spa in the world. Gin is probably my sister and I's favourite alcohol (although I have been cutting down recently) so of course we had to try it.
Although I have had massages before, this was my first time in a day spa, so I wasn't quite sure what to expect. All I knew in advance was we were each booked in for a Mini Facial (£40) which would be followed by a gin and tonic to enjoy at our leisure.
Upon entering the Gin Spa, my first thought was that it was smaller than I had expected. But then again, I'm not sure what I was expecting, so it's probably a very normal sized entrance for a day spa. We were greeted quickly and asked to take a seat, put on some comfy slippers and soon were served ginger and lemon tea in tiny cute cups while we filled out our consultation forms.
After filling out the necessary forms, a therapist guided us through what our treatments included. The first question to begin the consultation is "how would you like to feel?" after your treatment. From your answer, your therapist will recommend two scents from their range and allow you to test which you prefer. These scents form the Gin Spa's signature product line from Scottish brand JustBe Botanicals and fit in with feelings of happy, tranquil, active, pure, energised and detox. I went for energised as I was a tad hungover and thought this would be the best cure out of the six.
What I found interesting is that this scent and feeling is kept in mind throughout the whole of your treatment. This begins with your therapist curating a product selection for any skin concerns you do have (mine were oily/combination skin, redness and mild acne) and follows all the way through to complimentary chocolate and gin after your treatment.
From the scent and feeling you have selected, you are then asked to select three cards from a pack. At first this seemed a little irrelevant, with each card containing self-love affirmations or prompts to be more mindful. However I guess one of the best places and times to be mindful is in a quiet dark room during a spa treatment, so maybe the cards are quite relevant after all. They did put a smile on my face.
Now to the treatment itself. My sister was booked in for 2.30pm and I was booked in for 3pm, although I wasn't actually taken through until about 3.40pm which was a little annoying as it meant my sister finished a lot earlier than I did and had to wait for me. However I was brought more tea and although it could have been organised better, I survived. I wasn't in a rush and recently I've been trying to decide whether situations are worth me stressing out about or not - I decided this wasn't one of those times. The spa is still fairly new so hopefully this is a kink that will be ironed out soon.
Once I was taken through to the treatment room, my therapist introduced herself and described what the next 30 minutes would entail. I felt in very good hands throughout my mini facial, which included a shoulder massage, double cleanse, skin analysis, hydrating serum, radiant treatment oil (I love oils) and an anti-aging facial massage.
The only hiccup that occurred was when my therapist accidentally bumped my nose piercing out of place. I popped it back in without a fuss and she avoided the area after which I appreciated. Having not had a facial before, I don't know if it's good practice for the client to remove piercings beforehand. But in all honesty I have still never taken out my nose stud fully as I am too scared I won't be able to get it back in lol. So that's probably a personal issue.
After my treatment, my therapist asked me to wait for a moment, then returned with a tray. This hosted a square of botanical inspired chocolate based on the energised scent and feeling I had picked previously, a bottle of water to hydrate and a card detailing my treatment, which products she recommended from the JustBe Botanicals range based on my skin consultation and analysis and also the three phrases I chose before from the pack of cards.
And now for what we've all been waiting for of course - the post-treatment gin! I am not totally sure how the gin was matched to my energised treatment, as I was asked to select any of the Eden Mill cocktail mixes. I went for the Basil Smash Hop Gin cocktail which was a beautiful green colour and accompanied by my fave garnish of pink grapefruit. It was lovely as well as the cushioned relaxation area where I met my sister and leisurely drank up before we headed to pay at the front of the spa.
Overall, for my first time at a day spa, I was impressed. Whilst the idea of a gin spa may seem like a novelty or a fad, the therapists and treatments at The Gin Spa were all professional and seemed credible. The spa also provides packages with afternoon tea and cocktails in their private venue space so is the perfect place to organise a birthday, hen party, mother's day treat or just a girls' day out in Glasgow. And although I was taken through later than booked, once I was I had a very energising experience, which is exactly what I asked for.
The Gin Spa is open Wednesday to Sunday and can be found at 2 Virginia Court, Merchant City in Glasgow. For more details, visit www.ginspa.co.uk.

"Do you think there's such thing as evil?"
After every passing day, it seems Hollywood is resigned to spitting out sour story lines and rehashed material. Rightfully so, when word escaped that an Americanized version of Tomas Alfredson's LET THE RIGHT ONE IN was coming--only two years after its release--a strong opposition was voiced. Some hailed Alfredson's imagining as an instant classic, and one of the best horror films of the last few decades. Matt Reeves (CLOVERFIELD) was given the reins to LET ME IN, and with it the unenviable task of appeasing the masses. And, it pains me to say it, but he maybe have succeeded.
Stockholm has been replaced with Los Alamos, New Mexico, but mercifully, the age of the main characters remain intact. The original had an innocence that was prevalent throughout. At its most basic form, LET ME IN is a love story. Owen (Kodi Smit-McPhee) is the bullied kid in school. He is frail and unassuming. His parents have divorced, or soon will be. One night, Owen spies Abby (Chloe Grace Moretz) and her guardian moving into his apartment complex. Abby doesn't wear shoes--a curious decision during the winter. After an initial reluctance by both parties, a bond is formed. Typical adolescent banter follows.
"You smell funny," remarks Owen. "How old are you?"
"Twelve," Abby returns. "More or less."
We learn that, indeed, Abby is twelve years old, and has been for a very long time. It's no surprise to say that Abby is a vampire. Her protector (Richard Jenkins) and she travel from one city to another, committing justified, grisly murders for the sake of Abby's insatiable need for blood. When suspicion arises, they pack and move again. The cycle is endless.
Abby is a vampire in the truest sense--not the bastardized version that the TWILIGHT franchise try to poison our minds with. Abby feeds, and does so ferociously. It is animal-like, in sound and in fury when her hunger takes over. She doesn't age; she has no friends. She doesn't attend school, and most certainly does not sparkle like diamonds in the sunlight. Her life consists of sleeping in covered bathtubs and solving puzzles--a Rubik's cube is what initially brings the two leads together.
LET ME IN begins in a hospital. This is a mistake. Too many films fall prey to the allure of the flashback. We are thrust into the action too soon. A terrifically disfigured man sits in a bed, as a cop's (Elias Koteas) interrogation begins. The cop is called away by a phone call, the man is next seen out the window, a bloody snow angel on the ground below. RIGHT ONE IN did a superior job of meticulously laying out the story. I prefer the slow burn, rather than being immediately immersed in the macabre and being duped as 'Two Weeks Earlier' scrolls onscreen.
The best scenes are the ones with Owen and Abby learning about each other. He introduces her to arcades and secret hideouts. She teaches him to fight back against his tormentors. If the attacks continue, she will help him because, as Abby says, "I'm stronger than you think I am." Smit-McPhee and Moretz carry LET ME IN; without their vehement performances, the film would flounder. Moretz has shown great range the last few years. From a younger sister with knowledge beyond her years (500 DAYS OF SUMMER), to a costumed vigilante (KICK-ASS); LET ME IN is her most difficult role to date. Smit-McPhee gained prominence as 'Boy' in John Hillcoat's underrated apocalyptic drama THE ROAD, taken from the Cormac McCarthy novel of the same name. In both capacities his vulnerability seeps from every spoken word.
Unsurprisingly, the sexual content is toned down while the violence is turned up. A common theme in American society. Sex in the States remains taboo subject matter, while bloodshed continues unabashedly. Many scenes are carbon copies from Alfredson's take. Some of the clumsier moments from RIGHT ONE IN are omitted (the cat attack for one), while new injections keep LET ME IN fresh. When Jenkins hides in the back of a car waiting to blitz his next victim, the account is startling.
LET ME IN has prominent performances and a chilling, albeit duplicated narrative. Owen and Abby are new age star-crossed lovers. Not from rival families, but species. We understand where Owen's hopes lay. He is a shell of a human being. With no allies at school, absentee parents; he is looking for a lasting connection. Abby's intentions are more clouded. They realistically have no future together. Her youth is eternal, while he is doomed to age and wither. Are her feelings for Owen genuine, or is he simply another meanings to an end? The question is posed of whether evil exists in the world. The answer is a resounding yes, but perhaps it still has a heart.

What a great holiday we had this year! It was the first year we were able to spend the whole day together and watch fireworks with Maddie since she was just a few months old. We spent the morning hangin out at the house, and after nap we headed to our friend's house for swim time and a block party! Everyone on their block brings food...there's a band playing great classic rock....there's drinks and dancing...and even free face painting! We all had such a great time!
The kids spent the majority of the night chasing these dogs around the tree.....so easily entertained :)
This is totally out of focus, but sooo cute!
