Griffin Beacon Universal Remote iPad hands-on
There are a few universal remote control doohickeys and applications coming for iOS devices over the next few months, but few are as intuitive and simple to hook-up and use as Griffin's Beacon Universal Remote.
Teaming up with software developer Dijit, Griffin has created a Bluetooth IR transmitter that can, effectively, be placed anywhere within a room, as long as the kit it's controlling is in line-of-sight. The device looks like a pebble and is relatively small, plus, as it is wireless, it doesn't need to be near a power-source. It runs up to 2 months on four AA batteries.
The application it pairs with will be a free download on the App Store, and works with iPad, iPhone and iPod touch. But it's the iPad version that Pocket-lint managed to check out at CES 2011.
Apart from the ease at which it found specific equipment to control, and the option to create macros for you to switch on several items at once (such as "Watch Blu-ray", which switches on the TV, amplifier, Blu-ray deck, puts everything on the right channel and then spins the disc) the most impressive part of Beacon - one that many other iOS-based remotes lack - is Dijit's intelligent programme guide and the fact that it can be linked to actions on the controller.
For example, once you have entered your location and service provider (such as "London" and "Virgin Media" or "Sky HD") it will download the very latest EPG. You can then scroll through it, look at metadata for each show/film, and change channel by clicking on them. Plus, you can search for your favourite show, actor, etc.
The app also allows you to click on an individual show and set your DVR to record it, all from the one hub. It's truly as "universal" a remote as we've come across.
Another cunning feature that we liked was the ability to grab the on-screen controls for any of the stored AV equipment, and drag and drop them onto a build-it-yourself graphical user interface. There's no programming or computer connection needed to create the ideal setup, just a simple swipe of the finger. It truly is an object lesson in keeping things intuitive and user-friendly.
The Beacon Universal Remote is coming in May 2011 in the US for $79.99, while the UK version will be £54.99 and hits the streets in mid-summer. That's for the Bluetooth pebble-like transmitter, naturally, the app, as previously stated, will be a free download.

When just a kid in Taylorsville, I often heard my father speak of the street names, but didn't pay much attention to such rhetoric until I was much older.
Like most boys on Reasor Avenue, my interests were trying to find ways to make a few nickels while trying to avoid shameful surrenders in our BB gun wars with the guys on Maple.
We gathered and sold apples from my father's back yard trees and tried other hair-brained schemes such as making our garage into a performing arts center with some lawn chairs for the audience that never showed up. Can't really say "never" because Jimmy Oder came by on his way home from basketball practice one day and wanted to know what I was doing.
"Setting up my drum set on the stage," I explained. Of course it was a pseudo stage with a gravel floor and my drum set was designed for the "10 and under" musicians.
Jim came inside and asked if he could play my drums.
"Sure," I said. "For a nickel." He grabbed the drum sticks, nearly caused a minor earthquake with his drumming, handed me the sticks back along with a nickel and said, "Neat."
I always liked Jim, who was so good with a two-handed set shot.
But we started this missive talking about street names, so let's get on with it.
This scribe asked Mayor Pay recently if he was aware that some streets in Taylorsville didn't carry the names given them when the town plat was drawn.
He'd heard of some indiscretions and urged me to continue.
"Well sir," I said. "The original plat shows Point Street extending from Back Alley, across Main Street to Garrard. The current signings have ODell Court from Back Alley to Main Street, with Point Street running only from Main to Garrard."
He was unaware of any action by the city commission that would have authorized the change.
I also asked him how long "Bank Alley" had been on the books. It's an inexplicable instance of street naming and signing that slipped by the city commission – isn't it? There is no "Bank Alley" on the original plat.
Mayor Pay wasn't aware of action by the city commission that produced the naming of the previously unnamed alley. He had no opinion on the name, nor did I.
Then I reminded the mayor that Taylorsville has a couple of street names that were not on the original plat and have been wrongly signed for years.
One is "Railroad Street" which never existed. The signs should identify "Depot Street." The other is "Red Row," which is ridiculously misidentified as "Red Roll."
Someone asked at the last meeting of the county historical society what the name "Red Roll" meant.
"Nothing," was my opinion.
Many years ago, the roofs of houses on the street that branched off Jefferson at the Second Baptist Church were all painted red, hence the nickname "Red Row."
Years ago when Taylorsville's "Merchants" baseball team was playing Harrodsburg on a Sunday afternoon at the old ball park and I was bat boy for the merchants, a Harrodsburg player, UK basketball All-American Frank Ramsey hit a towering home run to right field. Somebody said "There goes one to Red Row."
The late Leroy Williams explained to me how some of Taylorsville's street signs were lettered. He said people and their addresses were looked up in the phone book.
The phone company said people were asked the names of the streets where they lived when they signed up for service and many didn't know the spelling or guessed at it.

Historical Traveler Reviews Hotel Concorde Frankfurt
Vicino alla stazione
Situato dall'altra parte della strada rispetto alla stazione, il Concorde � un hotel molto pulito e moderno. Lo staff � stato molto d'aiuto nel darci suggerimenti su degli ottimi posti dove mangiare - ancora non riesco a realizzare che ho mangiato cinese in Germania, ma era un ottimo cibo cinese. L'hotel fornisce WiFi senza costi aggiuntivi e ho potuto farmi la migliore doccia della mia vacanza. Raccomando senz'altro questo hotel a chiunque viaggi dalle parti di Francoforte.
Convenient to the HBF
Right across the street from the train station, the Concorde is a very clean, modern hotel. The staff was very helpful in providing suggestions for great places to eat - I still can't get over the fact
that I ate Chinese in Germany, but it was very good Chinese. The hotel provides WiFi at no additional cost and I took the best shower I've ever had while on vacation. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone travelling to the Frankfurt area.

War f�r ein paar Tage �ber Sylvester hier. Wir sind eine Familie aus zwei Erwachsenen und 3 Kindern und hatten deswegen 2 Zimmer. Das Hotel ist zentral und in der N�he des Hauptbahnhofs, die Zimmer sind sehr sauber und modern, das Fr�hst�ck ist erstklassig und bietet eine gute Auswahl. Die Angestellten waren sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit und man bekommt ein gutes Preis-Leistungs-Angebot :-)
Liebte das Hotel Concorde
Dies ist ein tolles Hotel. Zentral gelegen. Die Zimmer sind eine der saubersten, in denen ich je gewohnt habe. Das Fr�hst�ck ist super und die Angestellten haben sich sehr um uns bem�ht. Sie k�mmerten sich um Zugfahrpl�ne f�r uns und rieten uns wo und wo man am besten nicht essen gehen sollte. Sie sagten uns, wie viel die Taxifahrten kosten m�ssten und reservierten Tische f�r uns. Ich hoffe hier �ndert sich nichts.

Siamo stati qui alcune notti sotto Capodanno. Famiglia di 2 adulti e 3 bambini, abbiamo occupato due stanze. L'albergo � centrale e vicino alla stazione dei treni, le stanze sono moderne e molto pulite, la colazione � eccellente e c'� una buona scelta. Il personale � amichevole e molto servizievole, c'� un buon rapporto qualit� prezzo :-)
David (Kerry Ireland)
Stayed here for a few nights over the New Year. Family of 2 adults and 3 kids so had two rooms. This place is central and near the train station, the rooms are very clean and modern, the breakfast is excellent with a good selection. The staff are very helpful and friendly and its good value :-)
Off Beat, but very Neat
Here is a possible traveler scenario: You arrive in Frankfurt by train and have no hotel reservations and you find that your favorite chain hotel is booked full. What do you do?
My recommendation is to check with the hotel booking service in the main train station. They will know exactly what is available, prices, etc. They charge a small fee for the booking, but this is not a concern.
I mention this as preface because that is not how I found the Concorde Hotel, but the hotel that the service DID send me to took me past this quaint little hotel and I made a note that next trip, I'd try it.
The area around Frankfurt's train station is just like these areas in most cities....lots of sleazy joints, cheap restaurants, perhaps a hooker or two and the usual ration of weirdoes cruising around. But one can quickly walk from the station to the Concorde and soon be in a small, but comfortable room for a lot less than one would have to pay at the bigger, smarter, more distant hotels.
Breakfast was more than adequate, service was above par and the room was very clean and neat. The singles have nice bath with shower, a luggage rack, a small desk and a twin sized bed, so this is not a place where you will want to spend any more time than sleeping hours. If you want more space, book a double room even if its just for one person. The rooms have an unusual color scheme arrangement that allows one to program the color of the lights...red, blue, yellow, etc. No real views from the windows and no special amenities.
So why pick it? Price, (often under 100Euros for a single with breakfast), and location, (five minutes from the train to the airport), are the big benefits to staying at Concorde.
Note that the train station area is probably less than 100% safe after dark. I would not recommend this hotel for elderly or infirm travelers. Going and coming to the hotel, one must be careful and pay attention to what is going on around you. If in doubt, take taxis to and from.
Loved Hotel Concorde
This is a great Hotel. Centally located. The rooms are one of the cleanest I've stayed in. The breakfast was great and the staff could not do eneogh to be helpful. They looked up train time tables for us on the internet, they made great suggestion on where to eat and where not to eat, they directed us everywhere we wanted to go. They told us how much our different taxi fares should be along with making dinner resevations for us. I hope nothing changes.
Great stopover hotel!
We stayed in the Concorde for one night as a stopover while driving between Dunkirk and Brno (CZ) and found it was ideal for this. We located the hotel very easily and although the hotels secure car park was full (unfortunately you have to prebook parking which I didn't know and was one of the reasons I'd chosen the hotel as I didn't want to leave a Lotus out on the street) we managed to get parked right outside where the parking is free on an evening until the next morning.
The service from the staff was excellent and they really went out of their way to help. Just as I arrived at the hotel I got a business call from home and urgently needed access to a PC and my email. I asked at reception and was told this was no problem and was led through to a small business centre where I managed to sort out the problem. All the staff were very friendly and couldn't do enough for you.
The hotel itself was just my thing and is decorated in a contemporary style. Its spotless throughout and the room had mood lighting (so you can choose blue/orange/or white!) and excellent (and quiet) air conditioning. The only downside was that the room was pretty small but the standard of fittings etc are very good. This was fine for our stay or maybe a couple of days but I wouldn't say its suitable for much longer.
The breakfast was fantastic and there was a huge choice - the pain au chocolate were to die for :)
The only downside is its location for families who want to take a walk around the area. We decided to go find a bar for a drink but just a couple of streets away was what seemed to be the red light district - lots of adult shops and table dancing bars. We decided to go back to the hotel bar for a drink in the end!
All in all it was a great hotel and if I were doing the same trip again I would not hesitate to stay there again.
Modern hotel, small rooms
Stayed for 2 nights in the Concorde last month and have to say that although the hotel is modern and quite stylish, my overall feelings towards this place are somewhat mixed.
On the Plus side: The hotel is modern, clean and stylish with air condition in each room. The breakfast is good with a large variety of cereals, warm dishes and bread, sausages and cheese. Staff was very friendly and accommodating.
On the down side: The rooms are quite small and especially the room numbers ending on 8 are resembling a cupboard. Stayed in a box room for the first night, because I did not want to stay in a room facing the front (see additional comment below). To be fair to the staff, I was warned about the size of the room. It really is small ! For the second night I was moved to a double room with no additional charge
Because of the overall size of the rooms, all the rooms do not have closed wardrobes but just some open area for hanging clothes. This did not affect my stay (with a small overnight bag) but I would think it can cause people some problems who travel with large suitcases.
Another notable "minus" was that the breakfast room is located in the basement with no Air-con. This means that it can get quite sticky down there even early in the morning.
Additional comments: Massive construction site just opposite of the hotel with building works starting at 7:00 a.m. Would not affect you if you are up early. Otherwise ask for a room at the back (there are just three per floor incl. the box room !). I think the disturbance by the construction site is somewhat reflected by the low prices charged at present
The hotel is located just opposite the central train station which makes it quite convenient to reach by public transport, but means that the proximity to the red light district is noticible, especially in the evenings. But this affects all hotels in this area to a certain degree and if you are easily offended by the sight of drug addicts and other shady characters sitting around in the vicinity of the train station, I would suggest you stay somewhere else.

Clinton and Packwood
Although the spotlight is on former White House intern Monica Lewinsky, other women have come forward to tell of sexual advances, both welcome and unwelcome, from President Clinton — Gennifer Flowers, Paula Jones, and according to the same source that leaked the Lewinsky story, a former White House aide named Kathleen Willey.
The allegations of these women, if true, point to a pattern of sexual misconduct, much like the one that led to the downfall of another pro-choice politician known for his professional support of women — former Oregon Senator Bob Packwood.
Joining us now on the line is Florence Graves, the reporter who broke the Packwood sexual misconduct story in the Washington Post, along with our guests professors Catherine MacKinnon and Linda Hirshman, and columnist Katha Pollitt.

If the Heat can't beat the Celtics now, they're never going to
Apr 9, 2011, 7:00 PM EDT
Okay, Miami Heat.
You lost to the Celtics in the season opener. You lost to the Celtics at home. You lost to the Celtics after you'd supposedly gotten everything figured out. This your last chance. And it's a good one.
The Heat are in a no-win situation here. They beat the Celtics on Sunday in Miami, and the immediate calls will be about either a. how they lost the season series 3-1, b. how winning in the regular season means absolutely nothing and they have to win in the playoffs, or c. how the Celtics had mailed in the rest of the regular season. That said, being faced with those assessments is much preferable to the alternative. If the Heat can't topple the Celtics now, there's no way anyone outside of LeBron's mo… let's not go there. Sufficed to say, no one's going to have any faith in the red and white if they face the green in the second round should they be swept on Sunday.
The Celtics are at a lowpoint. They just had their tails kicked in by the Bulls who have lapped them in the two years since the first-round series many call the best of all time. They are .500 in their last ten, due to a combination of late-season malaise and continuing issues with chemistry and integrating new players. Jeff Green's not rebounding. Krstic is tall, but he's not tough, not in the Celtics' vicious, no-quarter-given-none-asked way. There's every reason to believe things will click into place a week from now when the Celtics open their first-round series in the Garden. But if the Heat are going to be able to topple them, now's the time.
The biggest concern for the Heat going into Sunday's contest? It's not Kevin Garnett's ability to out-muscle and out-stretch Chris Bosh both in the post and from range. It's not Ray Allen slipping screen after screen to catch and shoot daggers that fall like rain while Dwyane Wade tries to absorb the punishment on his body from said screens. It's not even Rajon Rondo tossing in what seems like a million assists per game against them.
It's Glen Davis. Against Miami this season, Davis has averaged 11.6 points on a little over 8 shots per game, along with 6 rebounds, in limited minutes. You can live with getting daggered by Pierce and Allen or bullied by Shaq and Garnett. Getting roly-poly'd by Glen Davis is a different matter. Worse still is what Davis has done that isn't in the box score. Davis has played LeBron enough in the playoffs over the past three years to know his tendencies. He knows when to shade over to take the charge, and that disrupts LeBron's ability to finish at the rim. There will be significant regard for human life as long as Davis is on the floor playing help defense on James.
From there it gets into effort. As in, the Heat have had none. When faced with the Celtics grinding defense, they haven't panicked or gone headlong into the mouth of madness. Instead they've just given up. They've looked like they simply wanted to surrender. Not exactly the mark of a champion. Boston should know what that look looks like. They had it for much of the fourth quarter against the Bulls Thursday night. If the Heat don't give everything they have to try and take the Celtics down, they're going to see them in the second round, knowing full well that the Celtics swept them in impressive fashion in the regular season. This is a gimme game for Boston.
It is a near-must-win for the Heat.
- therookie773 - Apr 9, 2011 at 7:26 PM
If Lebron doesn't win it all this year, his greatness is seriously questioned. How good of a team does this guy need to win it all?
- zackd2 - Apr 10, 2011 at 9:38 AM

- jstrizzle - Apr 9, 2011 at 10:03 PM
No it is not near a must win unless they need that second seed. It is entirely possible to lose every game against the Celtics and then beat them in the playoffs. Unless you have a crystal ball Matt that you aren't sharing with anyone.
- ibleedaquaorange - Apr 10, 2011 at 7:37 AM
I like how anything pro or even neutral toward the Heat is an instant thumbs down, regardless of content. Jstrizzle's post is nothing more than a fair point. Grow up, children.
- davidly - Apr 10, 2011 at 7:44 AM
In sports journalism a "must win" is any win which isn't a must. Come game 7 in the series, you'd be hard-pressed to find it being described as a must win.
- davidly - Apr 10, 2011 at 4:13 AM
If James had stayed in Cleveland, imagine how scary good the Bulls would be right now with Wade.
- corharper - Apr 10, 2011 at 5:27 AM
The Heat have a reasonable chance against the Celtics on Sunday. Is it a must-win for the Heat? No. Essentially, from my vantage point both teams would be considered equal (after Celtics' trade); except for the obvious factors (that is, a center, a bench, a healthy Chalmers or perhaps a consistent Bibby). The scouting report clearly demonstrates the Heat are vulnerable in those positions.
Now, with regard to the Celtics' recent sluggish play (trades, injuries, and — quite frankly — Father Time), their staple defense and the start of the playoffs are who they are. Or at the very least have become. Jeff Green, who was part of the new up-and-coming three in the Oklahoma City Thunders. When Green excepts his new role (that is, previously a starter for the Thunders) and come to turns with playing on a veteran team –even though temporarily — his game will change dramatically.
Moreover, either Shaq or Jermaine must be healthy. Then Krstic's not tough will be a moot point. Albeit Glen "Big Baby" Davis has been effective against Lebron James, to say he is the key to the Celtics win may be an hyperboly. The fact remains that if Davis succeed in limiting James' shots, then the Heat's bench will need to produce to counter James' offense.
Anything is possible. Right?
- mornelithe - Apr 10, 2011 at 6:45 AM
Only games that really matter now are playoff games. The Celtics are notorious for not giving a rats ass about the final games of the season, so one cannot draw any conclusions from games right now. Kind of a let down, really. I mean, they get paid huge bundles of cash…and yet can take large chunks of the season off. Weak.

The big cat who's just a big softie: Pet cheetah enjoys snacks from the fridge, playing with the dog and curling up on sofa
- Jolie the cheetah slept in its owners' bed as a cub
- Big cat curls up on the sofa and eats from the kitchen table
These incredible pictures reveal a couple sharing their family home with a pet cheetah.
Big cat Jolie is named after film star Angelina, and the cheetah is certainly used to the A-list treatment at Magda and Japie Pienaar's family home, where it can often be found eating from the kitchen table, snoozing on the sofa, or even curled up on the couple's bed.
The big cat also eats, sleeps and plays with the Pienaars' other, rather more conventional pet; a German Shepherd called Franky.
House cat: Jolie the cheetah with her owners Magda and Japie Pienaar at home in Bloemfontein, South Africa
Magda Pienaar said that, while she was initially reluctant to get a cheetah as a pet, 'diva' Jolie is now a part of the family.
'I was really against the idea of getting a cheetah as a pet,' she said.
'Then one day I saw an advert in our e-mail inbox about a cheetah auction. I knew my husband would try and buy one so I deleted it immediately.'
But Mrs Pienaar's efforts were in vain, as her brother-in-law did attend the auction and snapped up three of the cubs - including Jolie, the cheetah he eventually sold to Dr Pienaar.
'We are glad he did now - she is part of the family,' the 63-year-old said.
Just like namesake Angelina, four-year-old Jolie has achieved celebrity status in the Pienaars' hometown of Brakfontein, Free State, near the city Bloemfontein, where fans often turn up at the couples' home to snap pictures of the tame cheetah.
Cute: Jolie the cheetah, seen here at six months old, is now four
Cuddle: Dr Pienaar cuddles Jolie as a cub
Friendly: Jolie gets up close and personal with a smaller feline friend in a tree
'She's become a bit of a celebrity,' Mrs Pienaar said.
'At weekends people come here and take photos. She loves the attention up to a point. After a while she will just growl and walk off. She can be a bit of a diva.'
Jolie may be domesticated but the Pienaars say their pet still has some unfortunate habits.
'Wild instincts': The Pienaars say Jolie can often be found chewing things or urinating in the house
Dinner time: Jolie eats from the kitchen counter at the Pienaars' family home in Bloemfontein
Catching a breeze: Jolie can be seen poking her head through the window of the car on a family drive
'She makes a lot of mess in the house, urinating everywhere and chewing everything. It's her wild instincts,' said Dr Pienaar, 64.
'We sometimes take her in the car with our dog to the game reserve. She loves chasing the antelope.
'Because she's in captivity she isn't very fit, but it doesn't stop her trying to catch them.'
Catnap: The Pienaars say Jolie slept in their bed with them until the cheetah grew too big
Creature comforts: Jolie checks out what's on offer in the fridge at home with Magda Pienaar
Quality time: Jolie the cheetah, seen chilling out with owner Japie Pienaar, is a part of the family
Tame: Jolie loves to ride along with owner Dr Japie Pienaar when he drives into the bush
Domesticated: Jolie the cheetah makes herself at home in the Pienaars' bathroom
Feline comfortable: Jolie takes up most of the room on the Pienaars bed alongside other pets of a more typical size
Pet kitty: Jolie has joined Dr Pienaar in the living room in this picture
Faithful friend: The couple got their unusual pet when Dr Pienaar's brother attended a cheetah auction
Bosom buddies: Jolie makes room in the back of the pick-up truck for Franky, the Pienaars' pet German Shepherd
Right at home: Jolie the cheetah gazes out of the window from its perch in the Pienaars' study
Tasty treats: Jolie's favourite snack is chicken liver
Nuzzling: Jolie the cheetah gets along famously with the Pienaars' pet dog Franky, the couple say
Playtime: Jolie lolls on the grass watched by Franky the German Shepherd
'Diva': Jolie has a habit of making a mess in the family home in Bloemfontein
Hanging around: Jolie lazes on the sofa alongside a pet cat and dog

PRLog - Sep. 10, 2011 - BROMBOROUGH, U.K. -- Companies are teams of people who are determined to do something to improve the World around them. The mistake most company directors make is that they are unable to get the most out of their workforce, because they are simply unaware of the way they are looking to proceed. The good news is that if you're looking to really progress your company, you can do so by first ensuring that you have the momentum inside your company.
You can see how to hire people here:
Individual people don't matter when your company has such an overbearing force of momentum that you know exactly what needs to be done to get there. And by "momentum", I don't mean sales targets, or any other lame metrics used by businessmen to try and gauge the profitability of their company. The fact is that if they are looking to get to a particular position, or do something worth while - money doesn't count. Money is just a bi-product to all of this, and so you really need to be able to get the most out of how you're going to hire people correctly.
The way to get the most out of your workforce is to instil a sense of destiny in them. This comes with focusing on the WHY of a company to be in existence. You see, most of the time - people are really unable to get the most out of how they are going to help a company proceed, and therefore have issues with what they're doing. The good news is that if you want to move forward correctly - you should be able to make the most out of hte company in the best way possible.
You can see how to hire people properly here:
# # #
The momentum a company has far outweighs the personal skills that any of its employees have. In order to gain momentum, you really need to be able to help them reason as to WHY the company does what it does.

GMD: Vegan Wedding
by Slacker And Steve
posted Nov 15 2012 3:38PM
People always complain when someone tries to push their beliefs, opinions or life choices on them… Elizabeth, the bride to be, is a vegan and wants to serve only vegan food at their wedding. Tristan is cool dealing with it when it's just him, but doesn't think that all of their guests should have to force down food they don't want to eat.
Slacker wants to know if she can be around meat or does it gross her out? Slacker figures the elderly at the wedding are going to hate Elizabeth. It is the bride's wedding day and not anybody else's. If Slacker had a bunch of pot smoker's for friends does he have to supply weed.
Elizabeth says they're also gonna have a huge open bar...The guys agree they're gonna need it.
Steve..."Eating meat is an instinct and not eating meat is a choice!" He wantas to know if they care if theer guests are comfortable? Steve swears he would know if someone used a non-meat substitute...Steve claims that people want to check the box either chicken, beef or fish when tyhey go to a wedding.
Slacker has had some vegan food that Steve wouldn't know didn't have any meat in it. Steve would like to contest it, but Slacker knows him too well.
Whose side are you on?
I say screw the guests, feed them some finger food and don't go out of your way to specialize the meals for anyone...Just make sure that the two of you eat because you will need all the energy you have to be able to survive the event that you have so hard to be successful. It's your day, do what you want. Don't worry about the rest of the people. Besides, Did I hear "Open Bar"?
Peace, Love and Good Happiness Stuff! - Ray the Intern

Voucher Guarantee
Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used towards that service with that business for an additional 30 days.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher towards a bungy jump, for another 30 days.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.

Why did you choose this product?
I did return these to Overstock, just because they were too big for my mobile home. The shelves were nice, but the silhouettes were too big and hit my ceiling where I wanted to mount them. I bought 2 of the cloud perches from the same manufacturer and since they are shorter in height they worked great. If you buy these, just make sure you have enough room to mount them. Overall they are a good product for the price....

Beautiful, but umm, HUGE!
I ordered these shelves, assuming that the cat silhouettes were life size. Wrong! These things are huge! They are solid metal, very well made and quite heavy. You need to really anchor them to the wall. Other than that my cats love them and the silhouettes look great.Read More

my 2 cats love this product it is their new sleeping place finally got them out of my bed, make sure you have a strong wall they are really heavy.Read More
A real disappointment.
The crazy cat lady in me was beyond excited when I placed the order for these shelves! I mean, come on! Talk about awesome! And then they arrive... Sure. Packaged well, shipped promptly, a little heavier than I expected, but nothing that made me worry. I pull them one by one out of the box and place them on the floor. I step back to gaze at the cat awesome.... and it looks like a 5 year old drew the outline (and they were incapable of anything other than straight lines). I'm willing to spend nearly $$$ dollars.. on shelves.. for my cats. I'm not crazy enough to hang these on my wall. Returning!Read More
Questions & Answers
For my foster room.
What king of hardware ?ie how do we attach to wall
Hello pollyann08, the shelves attach to a wall beam, hardware is included. The holes are 16 inches apart for beam installation. Thank you for shopping with us!
They come with screws and drywall anchors. The mounting holes are the cat silhouette eyes/eye and right above the shelf.

Ghana's mixed fortune as a dumping ground for e-waste
Who is to blame for the rise of ISIL?
Nadine Ajaka | 15 Jun 2014 15:31 GMT | Science & Technology, Middle East, US & Canada, Jordan, Saudi Arabia
Amman, Jordan - Amer Kokh, 34, stands in his empty office in the northwest outskirts of Amman, tiny animation figurines lining his desk. He is manning his company's Jordan location, while the rest of his colleagues are in Abu Dhabi.
Kokh, a law school graduate who found his passion as an animator, heads Crazy Piranha, which this year became the first Arab company to create a video game for a console platform. "Our game is fantasy horror," he said of The Chainsaw Incident. "It's everything that people love in animation."
Kokh recently signed up the game to be compatible on Sony's PlayStation 4, and is in talks with Microsoft to also put it on the Xbox One.
RELATED: TriBeCa launches ethical video games
Video games are a multi-billion-dollar industry, with the global gaming market projected to reach over $86bn by 2016. In the Middle East, the video game market is burgeoning, with an expected annual growth rate of 29 percent.
While console gaming remains largely under-developed in the Middle East, mobile gaming here is the fastest growing gaming sector in the world - and of all the digital games produced in the region, Jordan churns out over half of them.
"[The region] has the highest mobile penetration rate in the world," said Chris Jackson, a Boston University graduate who works for Na3m Games, one of several mobile gaming startups in Jordan.
Na3m Games' founder and CEO is 30-year-old Saudi prince Fahad al-Saud, who, after graduating from Stanford University, was hired by Facebook in 2008 to help launch the popular social media site in Arabic.
For him, Jordan was the obvious location from which to launch his budding startup. "Jordan was a natural choice," al-Saud told Al Jazeera.
"Basically, the use of new media is already happening in Jordan, more so than other places in the Mideast … People tend to joke about Jordan not having natural resources, but they tend to forget human resources."
RELATED: The Stream - She got game
One of those human resources is veteran mobile game developer Nour Khrais, 37. Khrais founded Maysalward, the Middle East's first mobile game development company, in 2003, and is the chair of the Jordan Gaming Task Force.
In the precarious world of tech startups, Maysalward's longevity is almost unheard of in the region. "The [Jordanian] king cares very much about technology and apps and games," Khrais told Al Jazeera. "King Abdullah II funded us, and said, 'Make an action plan to make Jordan a hub for gaming in the Middle East.'"
This year, the King Abdullah II Fund for Development will give around $750,000 towards developing the gaming sector in Jordan. "The goal is to improve the quality of life in Jordan," Dr Mowaffaq Hanandeh, the finance and administrative manager of the fund, told Al Jazeera.
"For the king, this means to support exceptional young people in promoting the technology sector, and a part of that is the video gaming industry," Hanandeh added.
While the government doesn't directly invest in gaming companies, its outspoken support for the sector's development holds societal value in a constitutional monarchy like Jordan.
"In general, the government's role was to create an enabling environment … it put the government seal of approval on an industry and said that [the ICT sector] is a national priority," says Jamil Wyne, manager of the Wamda research lab. "The big guy says this is a good idea, and everyone else then says 'Okay, this is something we feel comfortable entering into now.'"
Maysalward has managed gaming labs in Amman and in the north of Jordan since 2011, where anyone can get free, hands-on training in game development. In June, the Jordan Gaming Task Force will launch a nationwide game training and app competition for youths.
"Now, there are huge independent developers, students earning money to set up start ups, and putting out games that are class-A quality," Khrais said. "And it's because we've spent two years investing correctly for them to understand the growth of the gaming industry."
But Khrais said that there is one thing standing in the way of growth: "To be successful, we have to bring more females into the gaming industry," he told Al Jazeera. "It's not because it's trending. The biggest consumer in mobile games and apps are female … My customers today are 50-60 percent female, so I have to target them."
To be successful, we have to bring more females into the gaming industry ... The biggest consumer in mobile games and apps are female.
- Nour Khrais, 37, founder of Maysalward, the Middle East's first mobile game development company
Mira Karouta, 22, studied computer games art at university in the UK, and recently accepted a job offer from Na3m Games, where women constitute one third of the staff. "I'm excited because I think this is the best time to join the gaming industry; it's almost like a gold rush [in the Middle East]," Karouta told Al Jazeera.
"We're trying to make a name for ourselves and have our own communities play our own games rather than Western games - and hopefully attract a Western audience as well so we can create a voice for our culture."
RELATED: Can video games make it to the Olympics?
While Jordan has been described as the Middle East's Silicon Valley, there are many challenges that stand in the way of the country's entrance into the global gaming market.
"Dealing with failure in the Arab world is really hard, no one gives you another chance," said 31-year-old Hussam Hammo, who founded a game company called Wizard Productions. Unable to find help from the local entrepreneurial community, the company folded after investors pulled the plug, and Hammo left to join an accelerator in the US. Last October, he came back to open a games publishing company in Amman.
Zeyad Tuffaha, 27, spent 20,000 Jordanian dinars ($30,000) out of his own pocket to create a browser-based zombie game. He has doubts that investors will continue investing in Jordan as a gaming hub. "As much as we can see ourselves as liberal comparatively, everything is tied to politics," Tuffaha said. "Can you guarantee that Jordan will be stable politically and security-wise in five years? No one can. So, I'm sceptical that this will continue."
But Jordan remains a relatively safe choice for investors compared to the rest of the region.
"Can we call ourselves the gaming kitchen of the Middle East? No, not yet," said Fouad Jeryes, 28, who is part of the founding team of Oasis 500, a startup accelerator that funds many of the new gaming startups in Jordan. "We are on a path to potentially becoming our own version of Silicon Valley, but we'd like to have our own brand."

In certain circles, rouged pouts are getting a lot of lip service: Director David Lynch emphasized the cosmetic statement with the scarlet women of Twin Peaks and Wild at Heart: Think of Sherilyn Fenn's red kisser, Diane Ladd's carmine smackers, and Laura Dern's blood-red smear. Michelle Buhler, who did the makeup for Wild, claims the look was inspired by Marilyn Monroe. "We wanted to get the hot sexy feeling," Buhler explains, "from the lips that Marilyn always had." It may have been a Marilyn impersonator who resurrected the trend. Her glossed pucker has become a signature (she sports the look again in her MTV voter-registration spot). But is it for real? Some speculate the blond one is attempting to cover up silicone injections.
