I have nothing but issue trying to order from this web site, what a disappointment because you post the best deals from it. Customer service is unhelpful and the web site is full of bugs :(
I called in the order because it wasn't taking the free shipping off. She said it had been happening all day and was very happy to take my order over the phone. Hope this is helpful for you!
I have never had a problem. It may be your settings on your cpu or filters set with your antivirus software.
You can not use it with any other code or special promotion.
Thanks for the heads up! I had the $5 code and didn't know what to do with it!! Perfect gift for my niece!!

Hey, Collin! Since last night, the site is not taking off the free shipping! Lots of complaints regarding this issue as their own site states free personalization and free shipping until end of 11/6/2012! Can you help at all? Thanks!
Lots of people have talked with customer service and the situation has been corrected. I just ordered my niece a blanket for Christmas and only paid $5.35!
I ordered last night and recieved the free shipping. It wont show it until your on payment.
email@example.com…wood like a code ..thanks!!
For those asking for codes. someone might be generous to offer one, and for your sake I hope they do. But just FYI your DMR codes on Blu Ray are linked to your digital copy of the movie and also your cumulative point history. It is not just an entry code like so many other offers.
Thanks for this reminder Pinky. I didn't realize that the digital copy is accessible through the code.
can you find the code on the digital copy?
No the DMR code unlocks your digital copy and saves it to your DMR account until you are ready to download it to whatever mobile device. So if you give out your Blu Ray code you would lose your digital copy.
Yay! I got one for each of my girls!
If I have 4 codes can I get $10 in gift cards and get the blanket free??
No only one code per account.
If anyone isn't going to use their code I would appreciate it. Thanks!
Thank you Collin. I just ordered one blanket for my son who is turning one this month. I will let him use his blanket until he outgrows it, and then I will save it for him. I have three siblings and our mom also kept one special thing of ours from our childhood. I was lucky to find two Dvds with codes (thanks to my kiddos). You have me and then my kids hooked on codes, rewards and coupons too. I appreciate all your hard work and GREAT thinking when it comes to AWESOME deals. YOU ROCK COLLIN.
I can't seem to get the free shipping. Anyone know why not?
There was a glish….I think I got it now.
Where us everyone entering the gift code, it is only letting me enter the FreePZ code, and not the DmR code. and I just called customer service and the woman was very nasty, and said I could not use them together.
The DMR codes are not promo. Enter the Disney Movie Rewards codes in the box up top to the right FIRST (where it says "magic code"). Then enter the PROMO code for FREEPZ when you are checking out.
Thank you. I figured it out, I was trying to enter the $5 gift code in the payment area, you have to enter it in the promo box where you enter the FREEPZ. :) ooops…
i am not seeing where i am suppose to enter in the DMR code and i looked everywhere… i enter in the promo code FREEPZ just fine but i don't see where it says "magic code" . please help. thanks.
never mind. i got it to work. thanks
Just got them… great deal… no need for coupon code other than the one posted here and free ship will add on before you put in your credit card info!! Great buy!!
also have spidey codes and huggies codes to trade.
Would love to have some codes if anyone has any lying around. I'm trying to get my nieces the fleece for Christmas. I can trade you something if you like :)
Would love to get these for my boys for Christmas. If anyone has extra codes please e-mail email@example.com
I JUST ordered this for my daughter yesterday! Too bad we missed out on the $5 coupon. Oh well, its still a good deal!

Yes!! I found 3 codes at my parents house ans scored an Ariel blanket for Christmas! Yeah!
If anyone has extra codes I would surely love them to get blankets to donate to the Red Cross. Long Island is a cold place without any power….still for so many! :(
I am curious about the quality of these as Ive never ordered one. Are they the really nice fleece that doesnt pill or show much wear after being washed or could I go to Kmart and get something of the same quality for the same price.
Thanks ordered one for my daughter yesterday for $10 too bad I didn't remember about the movie codes. But I grabbed a couple DVDs we had and got a $5 off. Ordered a blanket for her cousin for $5! So exciting! I need one more code to get another $5 off and want to order it for my niece! :(
NVM the $5 code is 1 per house hold.
Awesome got a blanket for my little girl and had $5.00 in my paypal account from buying diapers and using Endorse so completely free for me!
Anyone have an extra code? Please email to firstname.lastname@example.com
Got my 5 year son a Spider Man one for Christmas for $5.00! Thanks Collin for posting!!!

WOW!!! So happy I checked the site today! Just got both my kiddos blankies they will love and a CARS backpack and lunchbox from the sale section for my son for his bday in March…whole purchase under $40!
Great gift to surprise my little one with only for $5!
Scored!!! Love a good deal! Thank you Hip2Save :)
How do you use the code, i have one, just not sure where to enter?
You enter it BEFORE you begin checkout. When you click on "my bag," then "checkout," you should see the box to enter a promo code. Then you can click "begin checkout." This took me forever to figure out last night.
I just called Disney.cpm as the promo FREEPZ wasn't working for me either & the sale ended yesterday, not today as stated above. Just thought I'd pass along to save everyone time.
OH No! I had read it was valid until November 7th and knew I had free time today to order, but just realized I have missed out!!!! so bummed…oh well better luck next time. Thanks!!
They are still honoring this. I just did it. I did the online chat and the guy was going to adjust it for me after i checked out and gave him my order number. The check out was having a glitch so he gave me the number to call in. The lady I spoke to was VERY NICE. I got all of this on TWO blankets (made my husband a rewards account to get $5 off times 2) and they let me use both in the same order. so with tax it was 10.60 and the lady was beyond nice, friendly. asked how my day was, if i was xmas shopping, ect.
I am curious if anyone has heard anything about their orders… my order status line reads very weird when I go into the disney store online customer service page.. Has anyone received their orders or been given any type of shipping information?
Paula,I have a weird status on the one I ordered 11/6. The one I ordered 11/5 I have already received.

My sister and I have started a family activity for sunday afternoons with our families. We will be playing basketball, kickball, football even our hubbies and kids have agreed to it. They have no idea we did this to get the family moving!
I spend more and more time worrying about the little things, when I should really look at what I have. Two great kids, who are my biggest motivators to eat better, do more and relax and play games with them. I keep finding myself wondering what I would do without them, and the answer is simple NOTHING! I keep going because my kids keep going.
Feel like a kid again and go out and play! How about roller blading or ride a bike! Basketball, kickball or tennis anyone? Grab a partner and dance the night away! (Drink water, not alcohol!) The possibilities are endless!33225629591
Exercise doesn't have to be a chore. Look at some things you did as a child for fun like jump rope, hula hoop, kickball, dodge ball, and hop scotch these things never felt like exercise. It was all simple and fun things to do with family and friends.318

Meanwhile, it's learnt that Aamir who is producing 'Talaash' along with Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani had apparently worked on a suitable title for the film.
'Talaash', which is said to be a suspense thriller, will see the actor sharing screen space with his friend Rani Mukherjee and his favorite actress Kareena Kapoor.
Interestingly, it's reported that 'Talaash' would hit the screens next year in June during the IPL.
Kareena considers Tussauds wax statue an honor
Kareena who now has her wax replica at Madame Tussaud considers it as the biggest honour. In a recent interview, the 31-year-old actor confessed that this is indeed a dream come true.
"I think being waxed at Madame Tussaud's is one of the biggest honours I have ever received. In my whole career, I think to be given this particular honour is very rare," stated the actress.
"I never really thought that I would be waxed or that my statue would stand besides that of famous personalities in museum. Whether it is Mr. Bachchan, or Shah Rukh or Sachin Tendulkar.... really never thought I would be standing next to them. But thank you guys for making my dream possible," further added the actress.
Saif and I are happily in love — Kareena
There had been several rumors doing the rounds that Saif and Kareena are getting married in February next year. However, when Kareena was quizzed about the wedding date, the actress confirmed that she has no plans of getting married anytime soon.
The actress, who has several hits in her kitty with her last film 'Ra.One' also doing exceptionally well at the box office, admitted that she and Saif are very much in love and are taking time about their future wedding.
"It's great that people have set my wedding date, have designed my wedding dress and planned my honeymoon without me being aware of it! It's flattering, but no, I'm not getting married, yet!," said the actress.
"Saif and I are happily in love and happy with each other; We are taking our time. And I assure you, nothing - absolutely nothing - is fixed as yet: no marriage date, no marriage dress, nothing!," further added Bebo.

Sometimes it feels like we know as much about Taylor Swift's love life as she does, and she just finally admitted to her hopeless romantic tendencies!
The 22-year-old starlet sat down with "Extra" correspondent Renee Bargh and opened up on all things love, romance and break-ups in light of the release of her new album "Red," now in stores.
"The idea of romance is kind of what makes me get out of bed in the morning," Taylor replied when asked if she was a hopeless romantic.
The singer -- who's famous for dealing with her heartbreak through song -- also confessed something we had all pretty much assumed at this point, admitting that she falls in and out of love easily. Shocker.
Watch the full interview above to see what else she has to say about her favorite romantic movie, and how she got the inspiration to write "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together."

The Future of the Uighur Detainees' Kiyemba Litigation
12:00 PM, Mar 15, 2010 • By DAVEED GARTENSTEIN-ROSS
While many debate the work that current Justice Department attorneys previously did for Guantánamo Bay detainees, the detainees' current lawyers continue to fight for their release—including, in one case, their release into the United States in violation of federal immigration law. The Supreme Court recently dismissed that case, returning the matter to a federal appellate court that has already rejected the Uighurs' argument. Though some commentators have painted this as a "partial victory" for the detainees, that characterization is greatly exaggerated.
The case at issue, Kiyemba v. Obama, originally involved seven Uighur detainees from western China—but only two of these seven remain active litigants. According to publicly available government documents, both of the Uighurs who remain active either received military training at a camp in Tora Bora, Afghanistan, run by Hassan Mahsum and Abdul Haq, two notorious terror chieftains affiliated with the East Turkestan Islamic Movement (ETIM), or else supported the camp where such training occurred. Though China is ETIM's primary focus, the U.S. State Department's "Patterns of Global Terrorism 2003" report notes that ETIM members "fought alongside" al-Qaeda and Taliban forces when Operation Enduring Freedom commenced in late 2001, and that in May 2002, "two ETIM members were deported to China from Kyrgyzstan for plotting to attack the US Embassy in Kyrgyzstan as well as other US interests abroad." After bringing the Uighur litigants to the Guantánamo Bay detention facility, the U.S. eventually determined that they were not "enemy combatants" because they did not engage in actual hostilities against the U.S.—but that does not mitigate the fact that, according to government documents, they are trained militants. (The detainees' records are described in detail in FDD's brief before the Supreme Court in Kiyemba, available here.)
The Supreme Court declared in its 2008 decision Boumediene v. Bush that Guantánamo detainees are entitled to file habeas corpus petitions challenging their detention. Thereafter, the Uighurs petitioned for their release. Among other things, they argued that because no other countries were willing to accept them, they were entitled to be released into the United States. In late 2008, a federal judge agreed, ordering the government to release the Uighurs. Several months later, in a strongly-worded opinion, the D.C. Circuit federal appellate court reversed the lower court, explaining that the district court had no authority to release the detainees into the U.S. when their entry was barred by immigration law.
The D.C. Circuit was clearly correct. Federal law (8 U.S.C. §1182) bars the admission of aliens whom the government reasonably suspects of engaging in certain terrorism-related activities, including those who have engaged in terrorist activity, those who are members of a terrorist organization, those whom the DHS secretary or attorney general "knows, or has reasonable ground to believe, [are] engaged in or [are] likely to engage after entry in any terrorist activity," those who endorse terrorist activity, and those who received "military-type training" from terrorist organizations. Congressional power and responsibility to regulate entry by aliens is well established: In its Galvan v. Press opinion (1954), the Supreme Court referred to this power as being "as firmly imbedded in the legislative and judicial tissues of our body politic as any aspect of our government."
The Uighurs petitioned the Supreme Court to reverse the D.C. Circuit's decision, but an early strategic maneuver was their undoing. In their "Question Presented" to the Court, they doubled down on the notion that release into the U.S. was required because, in their words, "release into the United States is the only possible effective remedy." That claim proved to be inaccurate: Shortly before the Supreme Court agreed to hear the case, six of the seven petitioners were offered release to the island of Palau—and rejected it. One rejected the offer because he wanted to stay with his brother, who had not been offered release. Then, as the parties were in the process of filing their briefs before the Court, Switzerland agreed to take the two brothers. At the DOJ's urging, the Supreme Court dismissed the case because "each of the detainees at issue in this case has received at least one offer of resettlement in another country," and remanded the case to the D.C. Circuit to determine what further proceedings were appropriate in light of the new facts.
Some commentators, such as Lyle Denniston, have described the Supreme Court dismissal as a "partial victory" for the Uighur detainees because the Court vacated the D.C. Circuit's "sweeping ruling" foreclosing the possibility that the Uighurs could force the government to release them into the U.S. despite immigration laws barring such release. But such characterizations overstate a minor procedural point: By vacating the D.C. Circuit's decision, the Supreme Court did nothing more than reopen the circuit court's proceedings in order to allow it to determine whether to reinstate its previous decision, to engage in further factual development, or to send the case back to the original district court.
In a pleading filed on March 4, the Uighurs' lawyers urged the latter course of action. The government's filing before the D.C. Circuit is due on March 22; it is likely to argue that factual developments in the case are immaterial to what the D.C. Circuit said in its previous decision, and to urge the circuit court to reaffirm that opinion. Overall, there is no reason to believe that the D.C. Circuit won't issue another decision rejecting the Uighurs' demand to be released into the United States. Further, if the circuit court does issue another such decision, review in the Supreme Court is not at all assured, since other countries are now stepping forward to grant admission to the detainees.

Recent reports show that the risk of developing melanoma, a potentially fatal skin cancer, is doubled for men who use Viagra® or Revatio®. Viagra and Revatio (sildenafil), produced and distributed by Pfizer, are used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) and symptoms of pulmonary hypertension. Unfortunately, some patients who've taken either of these drugs have suffered serious side effects.
Study Shows Viagra Users 84% More Likely to Develop Melanoma
An April 2014 study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association's JAMA Internal Medicine found that of the nearly 26,000 male participants, those who have used Viagra or Revatio were 84% more likely to develop melanoma versus those who did not use the drug.
This finding still applied even when researchers adjusted for other potential risk factors, including family history of skin cancer, ultraviolet light exposure based on where they live, and other kinds of cancer and major illnesses.
Link to Other Types of Skin Cancer Not the Same
The study also pointed out that men who took the drugs weren't at higher risk of less-dangerous skin cancers, such as basal cell or squamous cell cancers. Rather, use of Viagra or Revatio directly correlated with an increased risk of melanoma, specifically because the drugs affect the same genetic pathways that allow skin cancer to become more invasive.
File a Viagra or Revatio Lawsuit Today
If you have been diagnosed with melanoma after using Viagra or Revatio, or a loved one has been diagnosed with or died from skin cancer after using these drugs, you may be entitled to compensation. Contact Sokolove Law today for a free legal consultation. Call the number on the top of the page to speak directly with one of our case managers or complete and submit the form on the right.

Port Vue's mayor makes elderly feel right at home
Brien Hranics is wishing Port Vue's elderly a "Mayor-ry Christmas."
On Christmas Eve, the mayor and other Port Vue officials visited Port Vue residents who have moved to area nursing and personal care homes such as Senior Care Plaza, Riverside Care Center and John J. Kane Regional Center of McKeesport.
The visits will continue into the New Year.
"I felt like, over the last few years, I had forgotten the true meaning of Christmas," Hranics said. "I was going through a rough time in my life, and I needed to do something to turn that around. I decided it was time to give back to my community."
The mayor is delivering potted poinsettias, holiday cards and small vials of Port Vue soil to the borough's former residents.
"No matter where you go, you'll always have a piece of Port Vue with you," he told 100-year-old Catherine DeFelice.
DeFelice, who moved to Senior Care Plaza almost a year ago, spent the holiday with her granddaughter Mary Kay Matlos and great-granddaughter Rebecca Matlos.
"This is really nice," Catherine said. "I've got a wonderful family, and the mayor's visit is a nice surprise."
Mary Kay Matlos said the mayor's gesture was thoughtful and kind.
"It's touching to know that Port Vue (officials) don't forget about their neighbors," she said.
Councilmen Russell Wooster and Marshall Black joined Hranics on Christmas Eve.
"When the mayor presented this idea to council, I immediately jumped on board," Wooster said. "It's a lovely idea, and I'm happy to be a part of it. The more people we've told about it, the more people think it's a great idea."
His mother, Kathleen L. Wooster, was on Tuesday's list of folks to visit.
"Knowing that they're being recognized at Christmas is something dear to my heart," Wooster said during his visit with his mother at Kane. "I was born and raised in Port Vue, and my mother spent most of her life there. Taking time to recognize a person from Port Vue is a great thing to do for Christmas."
Hranics said he plans to continue the "Mayor-ry Christmas" program. He said it's the least he can do for folks who have been part of a close-knit community for so long.
"I believe in Port Vue," Hranics said. "You have to have pride in your community, and I think people are proud to be from Port Vue."

Has somebody an practical experience in usage WD HD TV Live with Mediaserver? I'm trying to broadcast internet (http) video/audio streams from my computer (Ubuntu, Mediatomb) to WD HD TV Live, but it is not successful. What mime-types does it support? Could somebody advice corresponding software and/or tutorial?
I'm wondering the same. There isn't much information in the user manual about the media server source. However I think I read somewhere that DLNA is supported and I saw no mention of UPnP.
Yes, DNLA is supported, I've activated the DNLA server on my Synology NAS and can play the media from there.
I've had nearly no issue so far but I've the WD since 2 days only and have not updated the micro code.
My WD is wired connect to a Gigabit switch (even if the WD network card is 100mb/s) where the NAS is wired connect as well.
My router is a linksys wrt54gl under tomato, I've set up a fixed IP for the WD on the router side based on WD MAC address.
I've mainly played SD content (xvid) and quickly tested HD one, but as I still have a CRT TV I'm not connected by HDMI.
Small gap so far, when selecting videos and selecting my NAS as source, the WD shows me the 3 music/photo/video folders and doesn't limit itself to the video part. Same applied for photo & music.
I've not tested yet direct shares access, my workgroup name is not 'WORKGROUP' but this doesn't seems to create problems while using DNLA access (I don't see why it should BTW).
Video and music from shared folder as well from local files on UPnP server are played without any special problems. The problem exists if you try to play an internet video (like free tv) stream. For video upto now i see only traffic flow and no image or sound. At the present time audio (like free internet radio) stream works well.
My configuration: system - Ubuntu, sharring program - Samba, UPnP server - Mediatomb, video stream generated from VLC.
You say that you're able to stream internet radio through MediaTomb? It seems that this doesn't work at home... Any particular MediaTomb setting that should be enabled for this to work? Do you have to enable VLC transcoding for this to work? Did you just create an URL item in MediaTomb, or did you create a playlist with the URL inside?
Thanks a lot for any hint
About internet radio:
Default MediaTomb settings (as I unterstood without transcoding etc.). Then I add in web interface an external url
"http://sc2.frf.llnw.net:80/stream/gffstream_w20a" (this url from m3u file from http://www.radiobremen.de/funkhauseuropa/#, see "Livestream einschalten"), mime-type "audio/mp3". Now I can not remember which item type I used. Any way it was the same like if you add a local audio file.
P.S. I can also send you my .mediatomb/config.xml file if it will help.
That's a marvelous idea to try to set the mime type as it should be
However I think the correct mime type is audio/mpeg. With audio/mp3 it doesn't seem to work. I'm trying audio/mpeg right now, with "object.item.audioItem.musicTrack" as the class (although maybe another class would be more appropriate but I couldn't find the possible classes anywhere). I'll post the restults when I can...
The class type which I put was just "object.item.audioItem". With "audio/mpeg" and "audio/mp3" I am not sure but any way one of them worked well

That's strange: it really doesn't work on my end. (I put audio/mpeg for the mime type, and object.item.audioItem as the Upnp class). This creates a file the WDTV Live tries but fail to play. Then, I get the same result as when URLs are embedded in a standard playlist: the spinning waiting animation of death, as described in this thread.
Do you use the most recent non-bricking firmware (1.01.11)? Are you able to simply play streams embedded in m3u or pls playlist files? I wonder what is wrong with my setup...

When it comes to automotive role models, it's hard not to want to craft your all-new ride in the style of those trendsetting Germans—dramatic looks, Autobahn power, and plenty of grip in the slippery stuff.
That impulse has yielded striking new designs in a trio of once-bland small and midsize SUVs, one of which (Jeep's Cherokee) returns to the market after a long absence.
If your mental image of a pickup is a rusted-out work truck with a faded Killington sticker on the rear window and a couple of dogs in the back, it's time to bring you up to speed.
Manufacturers are in an arms race to see who can build the biggest and most audacious family-hauling, winter-hardy light-duty trucks with leathery, gentleman-rancher appeal.
Besides old Glen Plake videos, nothing captures the ski-trip vibe of the mid- to late '80s like that first generation of box-on-frame SUVs—slab-sided classics like the Nissan Pathfinder, Toyota 4Runner, and Jeep Cherokee, followed in 1991 by the Ford Explorer. Just about everybody owned one—or wanted to. Back when nobody worried about gas mileage (or ride quality) they were must-haves for winter road trips.
With the 2010-2011 ski season fast approaching, we at SKI know that many of you are like us and aren't lucky enough to own a ski-in ski-out spot. This means we're driving, usually long distances, to get to the slopes. With that in mind, we decided to give you a quick review of the cars and SUV's we think are the best equipped for the job. All models reviewed have some form of 4WD or AWD, and all perform exceptionally well in snow. Cars were scored on a 1-5 point scale.

I posted yesterday in the wrong place so here I am again, trying to do it right!
I've been with Slimming World for four weeks, yesterday was my fifth weigh in, and I am really encouraged. I weighed myself at home (as I always do) and I weigh the least I have in over a year! What an easy weight loss/life change this program is!! When I got to SW and weighed in I had lost 1.5 pounds and made my first 1/2 stone loss! Woo hoo!
About five years ago I lost about 70 pounds (5 stone), on my own with counting calories, and over the past two years have gained 20 pounds (1.6 stone) back. I refuse to allow myself to go back to where I was so I have joined SW to take control before it is too late. I had originally wanted to lose another stone (in addition to the 5) but never got around to it so hopefully, with SW, I can lose that bit extra and get down to my personal ideal weight. (Which is still at the high end of "normal" but I don't want to be skinny, just healthy.)
A little more info about me, I am 51, an American living in Scotland, divorced but living with the love of my life, a mom, a gramma and I work full time. My baby is 17 and lives with me and my partner, will finish secondary school this year and is looking at his options for uni next year. I have my BA and an MLitt.
I hope to keep track of what's working and what isn't on here, get encouragement when I need it, and encourage others who may be struggling.
Hope you all have a great SW 100% day!

MONTREAL – The Pittsburgh Penguins will have a different lineup for the fourth-straight time in this Eastern Conference Semifinal series against the Montreal Canadiens when Game 4 begins Thursday (7 p.m. ET, VERSUS, CBC, RDS).
There is a possibility Jordan Staal, less than a week removed from foot surgery, could play in Game 4 at the Bell Centre. But the Penguins most likely will be without forwards Bill Guerin and Mike Rupp.
Guerin, who missed Game 3 with an undisclosed ailment, skated Thursday morning, but will not be ready for Game 4. He said Game 5 is a distinct possibility, though.
"I'm not going to say yes or not, but I will tell you that my goal is to play Game 5," Guerin said. "Right now that's what I'm shooting for. I felt good on the ice this morning and had a lot of energy, a lot of good jokes in the locker room this morning, so I'm feeling better."
Good enough not only to take part in the morning skate, but stay for an extended workout with the scratches.
"It was a surprise to get him out there on the ice this morning," coach Dan Bylsma said. "He looked good. He doesn't look a day over 39. It was good to have him back out there, but he is day to day and not probable for tonight."
Rupp, a fourth-line energy player, also is not probable for Game 4 as he deals with an unspecified, non-hockey related situation.
"I won't change my policy, but he is not dealing with a hockey injury," Bylsma said. "Undisclosed, but I don't expect him tonight. It's still a possibility."
While those losses up front will hurt, they will hurt a lot less if Staal can answer the bell just six days after suffering a sliced tendon in his right foot during Game 1.
Staal was very active in the morning skate and showed marked improvement from Wednesday's practice, which was his first full practice since undergoing surgery to fix the tendon injury.
"He looked good out there," Bylsma said. "He was out there skating around and in some battle situations, so we will see tonight."
If Staal had his way, he would put himself in the lineup. He believes he already has missed two games too many with this injury. He insists he is ready to give it a go.
"It's tough to say right now, but we'll see how it goes," Staal said. "But I'm feeling again really good out there and really comfortable.
"It's obviously the coaches; it's their decision on whether I'm in or not. I'm going to give my two cents to them and we'll see how they take it. I always want to play. Whether or not it happens, we'll see how it goes."
If Staal does return to the lineup for Game 4, he will not play his regular shut-down role. Bylsma admitted he will try to spot Staal more judiciously as he works his way back into game shape.
"When and if he was able to play, you'll probably see a situation where he won't be placed directly back into 20 minutes a night in every situation," Bylsma said. "We'll have to wait and see how it goes."

Acid erosion
|Acid erosion
Severe tooth wear of the lower teeth in a bulimic person.
|Classification and external resources
Acid erosion, also known as dental erosion, is a type of tooth wear. It is defined as the irreversible loss of tooth structure due to chemical dissolution by acids not of bacterial origin. Dental erosion is the most common chronic disease of children ages 5–17,[1] although it is only relatively recently that it has been recognised as a dental health problem.[2] There is generally widespread ignorance of the damaging effects of acid erosion; this is particularly the case with erosion due to fruit juices, because they tend to be seen as healthy.[3][4] Erosion is found initially in the enamel and, if unchecked, may proceed to the underlying dentin.
The most common cause of erosion is by acidic foods and drinks. In general, foods and drinks with a pH below 5.0–5.7 have been known to trigger dental erosion effects.[5] Numerous clinical and laboratory reports link erosion to excessive consumption of drinks. Those thought to pose a risk are soft drinks, some alcohol and fruit drinks, fruit juices such as orange juice (which contain citric acid) and carbonated drinks such as colas (in which the carbonic acid is not the cause of erosion, but citric and phosphoric acid)[citation needed]. Additionally, wine has been shown to erode teeth, with the pH of wine as low as 3.0–3.8.[5] Other possible sources of erosive acids are from exposure to chlorinated swimming pool water, and regurgitation of gastric acids.
Extrinsic acidic sources[edit]
Acidic drinks and foods lower the pH level of the mouth so consuming them causes the teeth to demineralise. Drinks low in pH levels that cause dental erosion include fruit juices, sports drinks, wine, beer and carbonated drinks . Orange and apple juices are common culprits among fruit juices. Carbonated drinks such as colas, lemonades are also very acidic, as are fruit-flavoured drinks and dilutables. Frequency rather than total intake of acidic juices is seen as the greater factor in dental erosion; infants using feeding bottles containing fruit juices (especially when used as a comforter) are therefore at greater risk of acid erosion.[6]
Saliva acts as a buffer, regulating the pH when acidic drinks are ingested. Drinks vary in their resistance to the buffering effect of saliva. Studies show that fruit juices are the most resistant to saliva's buffering effect, followed by, in order: fruit-based carbonated drinks and flavoured mineral waters, non-fruit-based carbonated drinks, sparkling mineral waters; Mineral water being the least resistant. Because of this, fruit juices in particular, may prolong the drop in pH levels.[7]
A number of medications such as vitamin C, aspirin and some iron preparations are acidic and may contribute towards acid erosion.[6]
Intrinsic acidic sources[edit]
Dental erosion can occur by non-extrinsic factors too. Intrinsic dental erosion is known as perimolysis, whereby gastric acid from the stomach comes into contact with the teeth.[8] People with diseases such as anorexia nervosa, bulimia, and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) often suffer from this. GERD is quite common and an average of 7% of adults experience reflux daily.[8] The main cause of GERD is increased acid production by the stomach.[8] This is not exclusive to adults, as GERD and other gastrointestinal disorders may cause dental erosions in children.[9] Rumination also may cause acid erosion.[10][11]
Acid erosion often coexists with abrasion and attrition.[6] Abrasion is most often caused by brushing teeth too hard.[2]
Throthing or swishing acidic drinks around the mouth increases the risk of acid erosion.[6]
There are many signs of dental erosion, including changes in appearance and sensitivity. One of the physical changes can be the color of teeth. There are two different colors teeth may turn if dental erosion is occurring, the first being a change of color that usually happens on the cutting edge of the central incisors. This causes the cutting edge of the tooth to become transparent.[12] A second sign is if the tooth has a yellowish tint. This occurs because the white enamel has eroded away to reveal the yellowish dentin.[12] A change in shape of the teeth is also a sign of dental erosion. Teeth will begin to appear with a broad rounded concavity, and the gaps between teeth will become larger. There can be evidence of wear on surfaces of teeth not expected to be in contact with one another.[12] If dental erosion occurs in children, a loss of enamel surface characteristics can occur. Amalgam restorations in the mouth may be clean and non-tarnished. Fillings may also appear to be rising out of the tooth, the appearance being caused when the tooth is eroded away leaving only the filling. The teeth may form divots on the chewing surfaces when dental erosion is occurring. This mainly happens on the first, second, and third molars. One of the most severe signs of dental erosion is cracking,[13] where teeth begin to crack off and become coarse.[12] Other signs include pain when eating hot, cold, or sweet foods. This pain is due to the enamel having been eroded away, exposing the sensitive dentin.[14]
Prevention and management[edit]
Preventive and management strategies include the following:[15]
- Avoid sweet and acid foods. Even low sugar contained in fruit is bad for the teeth since it is the sugar/acid exposure time which erodes the teeth, not the amount of sugar.
- Modifying the pH of the food or beverage contributing to the problem, or changing lifestyle to avoid the food or beverage.
- Rinsing immediately after drinking or eating.
- Drinking through a straw[16]
- Avoid abrasive forces. Use a soft bristled toothbrush and brush gently. Avoid brushing immediately after consuming acidic food and drink as teeth will be softened. Leave at least half an hour of time inbetween. Rinsing with water is better than brushing after consuming acidic foods and drinks.[6][8]
- Using a remineralizing agent, such as sodium fluoride solution in the form of a fluoride mouthrinse, tablet, or lozenge, immediately before brushing teeth.
- Applying fluoride gels or varnishes to the teeth.
- Drinking milk or using other dairy products.
- Dentine bonding agents applied to areas of exposed dentin[6]
- Use a neutralizing agent such as antacid tablets only as a last-resort. They have negative long-run effects.
- Treating the underlying medical disorder or disease.

Cliveden Reach Canoe Trail
Cliveden, Taplow, Maidenhead, Buckinghamshire, SL6 0JARoute details and mapDownload as a print friendly PDF
Route overview
Between Maidenhead and Cookham, Cliveden Reach is one of the classic scenic stretches of the River Thames. An out and back trip from Maidenhead provides a five or six mile paddle suitable for all in kayak or open canoe in normal river conditions.
Before you set out make sure you have the right skills and equipment for this trip and that you have checked the river and weather conditions, click here for more information on paddling safely and responsibly. This is an easy trail in normal river conditions.
Information correct as of December 2014.

Start: Boulter's Lock (not NT)
Boulter's Lock - Just across the road from the car park and towards the upper end of the lock the bank is dropped to provide an easy launch. Put in above the lock and start paddling upstream.
Paddling upstream towards Cookham, the entrance to the upper Jubilee River comes into view almost immediately on the right and is easily identified by a barrier system to only allow canoes and small craft to pass through.
Paddling along the Thames, the steep wooded hillside of Cliveden is followed for 1.5 miles past a series of small islands.
Show/HideCliveden Reach
In Chapter 12 of Three Men in a Boat (1889), Jerome K. Jerome describes Cliveden Reach as 'unbroken loveliness this is, perhaps, the sweetest stretch of all the river'. The River Thames may take its name from the Sanskrit Tamas meaning 'dark' as its waters are often dark and cloudy. Another thought is that it is named after the Roman words 'tam' meaning wide and 'isis' meaning water.
Spring Cottage is set on the river below Cliveden's gardens, it is a private residence so please do not land here.
Show/HideSpring Cottage
Spring Cottage was the former home of osteopath Stephen Ward, who introduced Christine Keeler to Secretary of State for War John Profumo in 1961. The 'Profumo Affair' changed the course of political history when they rocked the nation with their confessions in 1963. Set on the banks of the River Thames, Spring Cottage takes its name from a spring that emerges from nearby cliffs.
Cliveden House sits above the wooded slopes on the eastern bank of the Thames.
Show/HideCliveden House
The first female paddler appears to have been the Duchess of Sutherland who lived at Cliveden in the 1850s and 1860s. She wrote to John MacGregor (developer of the Rob Roy sailing canoe) asking how she should ballast her canoe so that she could enter it in the bulky dresses that were popular at the time.
When you arrive at Cookham Lock the river divides into three channels. The right hand channel leads into the backwater of Hedsor Water that is now open to public navigation. Landing in Hedsor Water and portaging the weir at the top end is not possible as all the banks are private, requiring a return to Cookham Lock. The middle channel which will take you up to Cookham Lock and the portage at the lock is on the right hand side.
Cookham Lock - There is a landing point and grassed area for breaks by the public moorings at Cookham Lock and another by the weir at the head of the backwater to the left of the lock cut entrance; and closer to the toilets on the lock island. It is also a short walk from this point into Cookham village for pubs and shops.
On the return to Maidenhead, there is the Jubilee River to visit if you want to extend your trip. The half mile or so tranquil tree lined backwater leads to Taplow Mills where there is no egress and necessitates returning to the Thames.
Return to Boulters Lock - you have the option to stop off at the portage point for Boulters Lock to view the British Canoe Union flume on the weir for freestyle paddlers. Take the channel just to the left of the lock cut entrance and the portage is just at the top of the island beyond the weir. The portage point is on the island public park and it is a short walk through the gardens to the café and toilets. If you are not going to look at the flume then take the right channel back to your original entry point.

Enzi joins call for revenue neutral tax reform
In response to their "blank slate" approach to tax reform, Senate Republican Leadership and Republicans on the Senate Finance Committee today sent a letter to the panel's chairman and ranking member saying that any comprehensive tax reform legislation should be revenue neutral for the government.
The senators said they were concerned by recent public statements suggesting that tax reform might be used as a way to raise more taxes. In the letter to Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus and ranking Republican member Orrin Hatch, the senators said that the last time Congress comprehensively reformed the tax code, in 1986, there was a bipartisan agreement that the exercise would be revenue neutral.
"We believe that any agreement today should follow this principle, and that any new revenue should be generated solely from the pro-growth effects of tax reform," according to the letter.
The letter was signed by Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell, Republican Whip John Cornyn, Conference Chairman John Thune, Policy Committee Chairman John Barrasso, Conference Vice Chair Roy Blunt and National Republican Senatorial Committee Chairman Jerry Moran; and Republican Finance Committee Sens. Chuck Grassley, Mike Crapo, Pat Roberts, Mike Enzi, Richard Burr, Johnny Isakson, Rob Portman and Pat Toomey.
The senators wrote that the U.S. faces long-term fiscal challenges due to the projected growth of entitlement spending, not a lack of tax revenue.
"Tax reform should not be used as a pretense for increasing the net tax burden on American families and job creators, particularly in the absence of any serious effort to address long-term spending problems," said the letter. "If done correctly, comprehensive tax reform can ignite the nation's economic engine and lead to shared prosperity for all. We look forward to working with you to ensure that revenue-neutral tax reform is something that attracts broad, bipartisan support and provides the economic jolt that the American economy desperately needs."

Biddulph Players' Port Out, Starboard Home: Theatre review
Posted: May 08, 2014|
BIDDULPH Players tackle Richard James's comedy with relish in the latest production at the town hall.
The play – set aboard a cruise ship – features a host of colourful characters.
There is a camp entertainments officer, played by Nick Wilson, who wrings every last drop of comedy from the inevitable double-entendres.
Susan Charity, Glyn Gant and Tracey Turley play off each other well as a trio.

Around The World In Eight Days: Theatre Review
Charity's character is on the cruise to find a wife for her son (played by Gant, with good comic timing), with Turley as the TV actress looking for Mr Right.
Chris Wardle and Mandy Baldwin complete the main characters as a mismatched married couple.
He is a bigot and a bully and she is a hypochondriac.
Both these have their moments and make good use of their comedic opportunities.
Gareth Ekin, as a philandering bar steward, makes the most of his cameo part.
The set, although convincing, led to some unnecessary crowding and awkward movement.
On the first night the pace faltered as the actors searched for words and some laugh lines were lost.
But as the run progresses and confidence grows, the cast should be able to maximise the humour in the play and not rely on the support of the prompter.
If stuck for words then somebody should be able to ad lib and get the play back on track so that the audience is unaware of a hiccup and the illusion is maintained.
The play runs until Saturday at Biddulph Town Hall (7.30pm).
Tickets can be obtained by phoning 07896 321737 or on the door.

The Chinese Doctor Blew My Mind: On Healing Lyme Disease
You don't tell me what is wrong with you, I tell you. Said the doctor smiling and in a sweet voice.
Dr. H. has a little shop in Manhattan filled with Chinese herbs he picks in China himself. He does not trust shipping.
|Balancing Energies
My landlord recommended him. He said how he once could not walk because his right leg was acting up, and after 3 visits with Dr. H he was healed. I was sold. Wanted to meet him. So about a week ago we ventured into Dr. H. office. My first visit to NYC in ages.
The Visit
We started with the date of birth which he looked in an ancient book and told me, among other things, that my element is earth. I knew there had to be something behind the Blog being EarthYogi dot blogspot.
He took my pulse in the way the do it in Thailand or India, or China (not the American way). He did not count anything but rather "felt" the serpent of my pulse with three fingers. I read in a yoga book that it can indicate imbalances depending on which of the three fingers registers a higher or lower variation and on the quality of it.
He touched my hand and feet and pressed points. Every point hurt. Badly.
He said things I did not know like (warning might be too much info) my pee was too yellow (which it was and I had blamed on vitamin C), that my energy was low and my body out of balance. My kidneys and heart were giving me trouble. YES!
What about Lyme? We asked.
And that is when he said something very wise that will definitely NOT go well with American doctors:
There is bacteria everywhere, people walk around with cancer cells every day, all the time, yet not everyone gets cancer. A balanced body, a strong support system, does not allow bacteria to do anything.
|I loan to be the female version of this
I thought about when I came back from Thailand 3 years ago. I had spent the month at teacher training doing pranayama, asana, taking steam baths, infrared saunas, getting massages, swimming in the ocean, doing the internal cleansings almost every day (vaman, enemas, neti).
I was really healthy when I came back, it showed in the shinning of my eyes. Then of course came the punch of losing the job, home, re-invention of life, my father died. Some really good things came too. But maybe the negative got to be a bit much.
When Dr. H. said that, I longed for health. For a balanced body.
He gave me about 6 different herbs. Some he makes, some he gets somewhere in the orient. all very exotic. Some of them are little round pills I need to take in quantities of eight, three times a day.
|They look pretty much like that, some of them at least
The first 3 days…
Were the worst 3 days of my life. I literally thought I was dying.
The transition from antibiotics to just herbs almost killed me, or so I thought, but I survived. My energy went down, I was depressed and suicidal and on top of things I could not sleep or "medicate".
The Scare
One day I got scared. I could not sleep more than 4 hours at all, exactly the opposite of what the antibiotics had done.
I wondered if I could be on "withdrawal" from pharma, so I called him. He never used that word. "Withdrawal". Never. I told him I felt a pain that would move from my heart to my stomach, to my shoulders all day long. He listened. He said I should give it a little more time.
Take some more of the sleeping herbs? No, just two as he had said on day one. Just more time.
But I cannot sleep! Put your feet in hot water for 20 minutes before bed.
|My Grandmother knew…
Feet in hot water before bed is what my grandmother used to do.

Tanya thank you, guess I made a new comment (below) instead of a reply…. Would you know why I am not able to share at Elephant Journal . com page? I posted but was deleted…
I really hope to heal too! It has been 8 weeks now… intense…
Hello my sweet. I am not sure why that happened – perhaps only a click in the Ele matrix I hope. Is it working now?
Thank you Tanya, I really hope so too!!! I appreciate you posting to Elephant Yoga
Hugs!!! Miss you!
The thanks is mine! So much love to you
hi claudia, i'm also a yogini, with lyme disease and babesiosis. i would love to meet dr. h. how do i find him?
petrina, email me firstname.lastname@example.com. Do you live in NYC?
Claudia – So glad to hear that you've found someone so helpful. Sounds like he's offering some wise counsel along with the herbs – please do just back off what you feel that you're supposed to do (including Ashtanga yoga), and be well! xxoo
Thank you Carol!!! I do think I am now doing what I love doing, but in the past I suffered from the nice girl syndrome… that is all changing now… and you are quite right that is good to reconsider feelings and check once in a while to see that we are doing what is alinged with spirit. Dont mean to put words in your mouth is how I interpret…. As per Ashtanga… I kind of miss it… but will think about it anyway!
Chinese medicine is great and it works. I hope you feel better. But lets not fall into the trap of thinking that because it is from the "orient" it's "exotic". It's not other…….it's just medicine that works and honors life. Thank you.
Oh, I hear you Jen, not falling anywhere, it is working. I dont care who is wrong or right or who things what, I just want to heal appreciate the good wishes…. now , me being a person of the Americas who has lived in South, Central and North America, all things from the Orient are exotic to me, I do not see anything wrong with the fact that it seems different and exotic… whatever works!
Love. Love. Love.

Hi Claudia!
Thank you very much for the article. It gives me hope as not very long ago I was diagnosed with Lyme disease.
Im a very active person, a runner, a yogi. was going to get my Yoga teacher certification, but i had to stop intense practices because of my illness. I did two courses of antibiotics and so far the results coming back as lyme positive. So i started my research about alternate medicine and came across this article. I live in NYC and would really appreciate if you could tell me where to find this doctor and any advice regarding exercises while struggling with the disease would be very helpful.
Thank you so much in advance!
can you please share this Chinese herbal doctors name?
I hope that you are fully recovered now. I was bitten a couple of weeks ago and, looking at how much the red patch has spread, I'm thinking I might be in stage 1 of Lymes Disease. I really don't want to take antibiotics. Do you remember the names of the herbs you were/are taking? If I can beat this thing naturally, I will be a happy man.
I have been diagnosed with full Lymes 3 times and now it's chronic. I've been suffering from chronic Lyme symptoms like headache, chills and fever for 8 years. After 9 doctors I did see 3 TCM doctors. They worked for a few years but the symptoms are back and I'm looking for a new TCM Doctor. Can you please give me his name and number? You can contact me through my email or website. Thank you.

Ty Dolla $ign has the juice right now. The self proclaimed "King of Ratchet and B" (that's R&B for goons, people), he has built a steady buzz with his Beach House mixtape series, getting everyone from Wiz Khalifa, Dom Kennedy, Wale and more to drop verses on there. His sound fuses elements from The Weeknd, and Trey Songz, with his own slow, syrupy drawl, resulting in an addictive strain of R&B that has high replay value.
For "Never Be The Same", he recruits TDE solider, Jay Rock, to drop the science on why things have changed forever for these two. Featuring a gritty, black and white motif, this video is a refreshing change from what the usual sappy R&B look we've grown used to seeing. We got Ty on our radar and are hoping to hear more heaters from him throughout 2014.
Are you a fan of Ratchet&B? Let us know in the comments now!

Robert Dadson, professor of plant breeding genetics, studies a black-eyed pea in a laboratory at the University of Maryland Eastern Shore.
- Filed Under
Tucked away in the far corner of a college campus, a scientist toils away at what has become a personal mission of sorts in recent years: building an environmental and economic case for growing black-eyed peas.
Long overshadowed by other legumes - not to mention the "My Humps" pop quartet - black-eyed peas have been a staple in many African-American kitchens for years but never have gained wide acceptance.
The beans, sometimes called cowpeas, are due for a comeback as a drought-tolerant, soil-enhancing alternative to corn and soybeans, said Robert Dadson, a plant-breeding and genetics ...

Sale Smarts
The first row could all be gifts for your family or attendants: smittens (couple mittens); monogrammed pj's; aviator glasses; cashmere slippers. The second row could be used as decor: pillows for the outdoor lounge, an umbrella used for the lounge or you could decorate it for your ceremony and be married under it; glass ornaments for decor or centrepieces; "Chit Chat" cards to spark your guest's conversation. The third row could be used as details of the wedding: an ivory teddy bear for your flowergirl or ringbearer; use these faux votives for lighting; frames for family pictures, and I couldn't resist another teddy bear, not too often you find a "eucalyptus" teddy bear.
Keep an open mind when you're shopping - you'll be amazed at what you'll find. I really like the Chit Chat cards, I think I'm off to buy them!
Martha's Good Things
Now that all that hustle and bustle is over I have spent the majority of today relaxing and playing with my new toys. What I would really love to do is sit back with a cup of tea and devour the latest issue of Martha Stewart Weddings, but unfortunately, I don't have it yet. So, I visited the website and found some beautiful things I look forward to looking at in print. Here are a few of Martha's Good Things.
1 Straws in a love knot
2 Welcome package for guest's doorknobs
3 Customized cookie cutters
So much for look forward to.

Guest Book Guitar
This super fun couple are our friends and will probably {yay!} be clients as they are going to be married next year. The spirit of the evening, listening to Adam's fantastic renditions of some classic songs, and being witness to the smitten glances between Hana and Adam got me thinking about their wedding and some of the finer details. Then I remembered these pictures I had stored away for inspiration.
I'm thinking that a guitar would be a great guest book at Hana and Adam's wedding. It's a big part of their lives and I'm pretty sure it was a feature early in their relationship. It's a unique idea, just like them. It would make a wonderful keepsake and it could be proudly displayed in their home afterwards, instead of stuffed in a wedding treasures box only to be dusted off once in a while. I love the idea. I'll have to let you know what they think.

Pia Jane Bijkerk
You know when those things happen out of the blue that take you utterly by surprise? Like, step back, jaw open, turns head, eyes widen, and you say "really?"… "wow,… really?" Maybe a little giggle, "really?"
I had that moment the other day when I received an email from the wonderfully talented stylist, writer, and photographer Pia Jane Bijkerk. She creates stunning works and has renowned clients such as Donna Hay, Real Simple Magazine, and Gourmet Traveller. I mentioned her a little while ago because, she styled and took the picture above. I was so enthralled with the image that I framed it and hung it in My Room for daily inspiration.
Pia emailed to let me know that she has started a blog. It is just beautiful. It's called enhance the everyday. She invited me to have a look, and told me there was a surprise waiting for me. Hmmm… Surprise isn't the word I would use to describe what I was feeling. See Pia's first blog entry.
I am completely flattered and humbled by your words Pia. Thank you ever so much. It's nice to know that my little blog is noticed and especially by a talent like yourself. I'm honoured. Really.
Here is some more of her charming work:::
All I Want For Christmas
1 This antique card catalogue is on my ultimate wish list so why not include it here? I've always, always loved these pieces and would love one for my work/craft space. I absolutely adore this picture, but for the life of me I don't know where it originated from, which blog anyway; I found it again here bitsandbobbins SF Apartment Set on Flickr.
2 A Lodis briefcase. These are from the Audrey Collection. Since I'm meeting with clients now and packing to and from school I want to have a fabulous attaché to carry my fabulous things.
3 I'd like the remaining pieces of our Denby collection.
4 I'd like a Swiss Army Knife to take on-site with me. My husband has a Leatherman I'm constantly borrowing so I want my own handy tool! And I want it to be pink!
5 This mug from Starbucks is just so cute! I actually would like a set of (at least) eight. I think I saw them on sale...
6 Anything from Tiffany's because, well, if you don't ask, how will he know? I really, really like the "naughty" locket on the home page of their website...
7 A Corn Zipper from Williams-Sonoma. I love to cook and I love gadgets! I make this Coconut, Crab and Shrimp Salad from CookingLight.com all summer so the zipper would come in handy. Seriously.
8 Something Blue by Emily Griffin. "Something Borrowed" was great.
9 A pussy willow wreath. This is not the exact wreath. The one I want is much fuller and much more beautiful. It can be found at our local farmer's market and I've been eyeing it up for years. Literally. (Note: you have no idea how much fear I had Googling "pussy willow".)
10 This "Will Cook for Shoes" apron from Domistyle.com. No explanation required. Love!
11 I've asked for Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett because I want to read it again before reading the sequel, World Without End. Pillars is one of my favourite books of all time.
12 I actually already have this (because I couldn't resist and bought it for myself!) but I reeeeeaaalllly wanted a customized Starbucks card.. And this is exactly what it looks like! My drink is a Grande, Sugar-Free Vanilla, Non-Fat, Extra Hot, Caramel Macchiato. And it says "My name is Lisa. This is my drink". Ummm. Yes. I am addicted.
13 The Ribbon Storage Box from Martha Stewart Crafts.. Truth be told, I want several of these.
14 These adorable and delectable printed chocolates from Recchiuti.com.
I can't help but cringe a little at my utterly materialistic list so... I also wish for, hugs, love, health for all, my parents to live forever, world peace, and an upgraded recycling program in Calgary. Please and thank you.

Biota - Wrapping "Green"
Furoshiki is a traditional type of Japanese wrapping cloth that were frequently used to transport clothes, gifts, or other goods. The ancient artform developed from public bath houses where the patrons would bundle their clothes into neat little packages. Eventually, the furoshiki's usage extended to serve as a means for merchants to transport their wares or to protect and decorate a gift. Learn more wrapping techniques at Furoshiki.com.
What a wonderful way to package a present to one you love, not only do they receive the gift inside but also the beautiful fabric, wrap, sari, pashmina, scarf you can choose to wrap it in. Think Christmas, birthdays, Mother's day and for your bridesmaids!
The following are examples from the Biota Collection to be found at a company called Posch, located in Montreal.
The possibilities are endless.
Busy Day!
So sorry there was no post for you today. It's been a crazy busy week and tonight my sexy husband and I are off to a Christmas party.
I promise I'll be blog-ful tomorrow! Have a lovely evening!

To Veil or Not to Veil
A reader, Serena, emailed and asked my opinion on veils – to wear or not to wear?
I like the idea of a bride wearing a veil as there are not many days in one's life that one can wear a veil and, in my opinion, they epitomize the bridal ensemble.
Of course, the best part about wearing a veil is having the option to take it off, so, at the very least, give yourself the choice.
Not one to post without photos, here are eight reasons to wear a veil. At least for a little while.
