How much did you pay for the carpets you bought in Turkey?
Report Abuse
Annie, I'm going to Turkey in October and haven't found any good books/Internet sites to research Turkish rugmaking. Have you located a good source? I don't know if I'll even buy one, but I want to forearm myself in case one (many?) catches my eye.

Dear Annie,
There's no one answer to this question; the price depends upon quality, your own knowledge of what the rug might cost (and therefore, give you an idea of what you might be willing to pay), your ability to bargain, and so on.
Don't expect to get the bargain of the century; many of the reputable carpet dealers are very aware of pricing, and will only go so far. And certainly, there's a great range of quality of carpets, and the more you know, the better off you are.
We aren't knowledgable about carpets, did some minimal research and just went with our gut with something that we liked. We bought a good-quality kilim in Konya (the area is known for kilims) and bought it for $375.00. We all felt like we did well by the sale. If you wanted to find a carpet for $50.00, you could; but you could easily pay a few thousand dollars, too. But learning what makes a quality rug will help you in looking at them, because there are countless rug dealers everywhere you go.

We were pestered so much all the time "I have carpet shop" etc. by EVERYBODY on the street that we didn't bother.

I know that the main point of buying something on a trip is strictly for the memories, so it is fine if you want to buy one. But don't think that you can really get a spectacular deal on a rug in Turkey unless you are a true expert and even then it's very tricky as you are buying them from a dealer, not a manufacturer (those little looms set up are pretty much for demo purposes only). Have you ever met anyone who bought a rug in Turkey and then tried to sell it to a rug dealer at home for what they paid for it?
I once had clients who bought one at what they thought was a fantastic price (and they were pretty knowledgeable about rugs). When they brought it home for their new place it just wasn't working and really didn't fit proportionately in the room. They tried to sell or trade it to a large rug dealer who brought one out virtually identical and the same quality. The price on his rug (retail in Naples, Florida no less) was actually less than these people paid -- even before having it shipped back to the states.
I mentioned once before that I had a long conversation one day in Kusadasi with a rug dealer who finally admitted that they sell rugs for twice the usual price to cruise ship people. They just start out twice as high and then act like the buyer is robbing them when they lower the price.
By the way, Annie, price has absolutely nothing to do with size of the rug, except of course that the exact same rug will cost more the larger it is. No one will be able to help you by internet learn enough about rugs to be a smart buyer. Just go with the attitude that if you want one, you see one you really love, and you can afford it, then buy it. But not before getting it for half the original asking price.

Patrick, thank you, as always, for the honest feedback. I had a feeling that your advice was probably the case. While I'm pretty darn good at haggling down prices, I certainly am not an expert in quality nor a great judge of what a true "bargain" would be. Thanks for the response!

We bought 5 carpets in Turkey, and I don't really feel like we got a bargain. In retrospect, I think the "deals" do start off HIGH, and the dealers make you feel as if you REALLY are walking out the door with "such a buy." I also feel that you should be an expert in what to look for, b/c the salesmen can tell you anything and you'd probably believe it. We went to a store that the 4 Seasons Hotel recommended, so hopefully we bought some nice carpets BUT who knows??? I wouldn't do it again. Also, it is so!!! time consuming. They have you sit down, and then they bring out a zillion carpets for your perusal. A couple of years ago I brought 2 carpets home from a store about 40mins. away from my home to try out. The one I thought would be just perfect in the kitchen wasn't, and the one I felt would probably not work out was the one that did. You can't do that if you've purchased carpet(s) in Turkey.

Does anyone have a recommendation of things that are bargains to keep an eye out for? My friends and family always like receiving items that I bring them from my trips and I'm not sure what specialities from Istanbul are good deals and/or are really interesting. I was contemplating some spices from the market, but wasn't sure whether it's a good idea to bring baggies filled with herbs and spices through customs these days. Anyway, gift suggestions are very welcome. Thanks!

You can pay $5 for a Turkish rug or $50,000. It depends on many things, mainly quality. You will also pay more for silk over wool. The thinner the carpet usually, the better the quality. The best way to determine the quality of the rug is to turn it over and count the number of knots per square inch. The top-quality rugs will have about 400 knots per square inch. Pull on the carpet, if it moves back and forth, it is of poor quality. The more knots per square inch it has, the more "stationary" the carpet will be when you pull it back and forth. It is also best to go to a merchant were you can actually see them hand making the carpets; this way you will know they are not made by machine. You should also see them shearing the carpets and washing them at these sites. A quality carpet, on that will become an heirloom and increase in value, will cost about $1000 US. This would be for a carpet 3x5 in size. 6x8 should be about $2500. Remember!!!! You get what you pay for. If you buy a poor-quality carpet, it will not increase in value. But, do your homework and do not pay alot for a piece of crap. Your best bet is to go to a merchant with a very good reputation. If you want to know more about how to tell a good carpet from a bad one, email me directly.

When I travelled to Turkey a few years ago (while I was in the military), one of the things I purchased which I wish I had purchased more of was Christmas ornaments! I found painted copper ornaments (some of mine are just balls and others are bell shaped). Every year when we put up the tree, I always smile because they remind me of Turkey and I always get comments on them. I wish I had bought more for other members of my family. I also purchased some miniature brass lanterns for the tree.

I bought a carpet in Turkey....I didn't expect to but like my Lonely Planet guide says, "even if you don't intend to, you likely WILL buy a carpet in Turkey."
My 3x5 carpet cost $125 (talked down from $300). That's very cheap, so obviously I don't expect it to increase in value. I know nothing about carpets but I like and seeing it hanging in my bedroom reminds me of a wonderful trip and a beautiful country.
I bought my carpet in a small town between Ankara and Cappadoccia. So I was far away from cruise ship crowds. The man in the shop spent over an hour with me, showing me carpets, talking about the patterns and their histories while we had tea. Sure he wanted me to buy but if you just relax and enjoy yourself you'll have a good time. Looking back, I think the whole experience was worth the money alone.
Enjoy your trip.

Okay, when we were in Turkey, and passed rug places, if you look in the windows after hours, you can see them tinging and ruffing up the new carpets to give them a look of old. Also, can't be sure there in any silk in them. Better to buy them here from a reputable dealer, I think, and then you know what you get. A little late to complain after you get home.

My mother was one of those tourists who did not plan to buy a rug in Turkey, but did. Of course, she made a million mistakes. She had it sent home and when it got here, it was a different rug than she had purchased (color, size). It also had a hole in it. She actually called the shop in Turkey and yelled at them and, of course, they laughed at her. Called around and found we could not return it since you can not "unimport" a rug since that is called export. Took it to a reputable rug shop to get hole repaired - they said it was a real rug, but taught us a lot about rugs and appraised it at about 30% of what she paid. She put it in dispute on her credit card, and eventually got full credit for the rug - and I still have the rug! Certainly a rip off, but we both have memories when we see it in my entryway.

PW, I liked your answer as providing the best rule of thumb on buying anything while traveling: never pay more than you think the experience is worth. A friend of mine bought something in Egypt (not a carpet) - the article itself turned out to be practically worthless, but she dined out for years on her story.

I hadn't planned on buying a carpet in Istanbul but fell in love with a small prayer rug, from Herenz (sp?), all silk and the back is as beautiful as the front, I think I paid about $300 and have in hanging in the hall at home. Took it to a local merchant and he thought I got a bargain, nice of him to say that but the point is, it's like art work, if you see something you really like, and the price is reasonable for you, then go for it!

As far as gifts for friends back home? We brought back "evil eye" things such as necklaces,wall hangings,etc. They also have some daring change purses that are minature "carpet" rugs.My son brought back a water pipe for a favorite teacher who made it into a lamp.Another favorite teacher(US HISTORY) got a set of stacking dolls of USA presidents from the Black Sea area.I had bought quite a few Pushima shawls(aound $12.00 there)All of these treasures we bought in the Grand Bazaar.

We were taken to a rug showroom by our cruise ship after a tour of Kusadasi. They served tea and started rolling out all the carpets. A large silk one was $20,000.00. LOL. I told my husband if he did not keep saying how beautiful they all were they were never going to let us out of there! They could not believe that I was not interested in buying a rug. I had read a lot on these boards before going and knew that unless I was an expert I was not going to get any "deal" and would probably not even get the carpet I thought I was getting. The hassle is not worth it -- if you even admire something they think it is as good as sold. As someone else said, buy here from a reputable dealer.

We bought a carpet in Turkey last summer, we bought ours in Avanos near Cappadocia. It is about 6 X 9, wool on cotton. We paid $2000 and it was shipped here via UPS without a problem. I looked at carpets in Chicago and Highland Park before we went so I could get and idea of price and quality. The one shop I went to said to expect to pay $75 per sqaure foot for one of the better wool carpets. If anyone is interested here is a link to our journal with a picture of our carpet.

Just to clarify, the $75 per square foot was at a shop in the US. Our Turkish carpet cost less than $40 per square foot.

Interesting discussion! Just to complicate matters a little more, does anyone know how Tunisian carpets compare to Turkish ones (or Moroccan...)? I mean in terms of quality, are Turkish carpets known to be quite better? I ask because I have looked at carpets in Turkey, Morocco and Tunisia, and finally bit the bullet and bought one last Dec in Tunisia. I paid about $375 USD for a wool, knotted carpet that is 2.58 x 1.63 meters, (8.46 x 5.35 feet) having 40,000 knots per m2. Also included shipping to France. This is quite a bit less per square foot than some of the posters have mentioned for Turkish carpets so I was wondering if anyone has any idea how they compare. I have a photo of it at http://www.advweb.com/kelly/tunisia/day4/index.shtml
Any feedback would be great, I might want to buy another one on my next trip!

My husband and I bought a carpet two years ago when we went. He's Turkish and from Istanbul. We went to a smaller local area in Istanbul and brought it in a small shop, we bought a machine made one for $135. canadian I liked it and because we have kids and we going to use it on the floor we didn't care that it was machine made. I have a friend that says if it is hand made it will not be semetric. There will be a "mistake" - one side will have a small difference. Also it is better to buy in a small town away from the tourist crowd if you want a good deal.

If you are going to ship your carpet(s), take a photo of it so you can prove what you purchased if anything goes amiss. Get everything in writing also--and in English, not Turkish. If you spend alot of money, have the carpet insured. You would also be surprised how you can fold a thin silk carpet into a small square that you can carry home. I did this with a carpet I purchased in Jaipur, India.

You asked about what else you might buy as gifts?
I bought a few small and inexpensive items of jewellery, mostly amber set in silver, which were very popular gifts.
I also bought a few mass produced but pretty round tiles from the bazaar, these were really cheap, about £1 for 3 with a thin layer of sponge glued to the base, and I gave some as gifts and kept one myself as a table mat. I wish I had bought more. It's a white tile with beautiful blue and turquoise traditional patterns. About 6 inch diameter.

Buying a carpet or rug needs to be careful in Turkey. Especially,if you are in tour, I am sure that you will go to a shop Where is paid a commission to tour operator and guide. So It will be very expensive(hidden costs). Even If you go to a shop alone, Seller will try to sell in a expensive price. If they are good sellers, You wouldn't know the quality of carpet,so You will try to reduce price. Then Seller will be a little bit angry.
It is very important you have information about prices and carpets. There are several carpet&rug centers in Turkey. The most famous for carpets are Cappadocia and Isparta region. You can visit several rug-makers or carpet makers especially in Cappadocia.
You can ask How I know these things. Because I am working in a tour operator. But We don't work with carpet stores Which gives us %30 commissions from sales like the other work with. I usually work with a carpet store in Avanos,Cappadocia that I trust in their quality and honesty.
I had an American group in last summer. There was a guy from Berkeley,California. He bought a carpet sale price around 4000 USD after bargain HE paid 3000 USD including the shipping cost. That carpet was nearly 100 years old and hand-made. It has to be in a collection. And Even He try to find like that carpet in big carpet stores,He could buy it for 10000 USD. And,Carpet store paid me %10 commission. Even Though, They don't pay anyone from sales.After all,They earn money too. They are buying carpets from Uzbekistan,Turkmenistan,Afghanistan,different cities from Turkey. They bring an expert Who describes you the information about carpets. There are several carpet stores like these guys in Turkey. I gave you an exapmle from one of them.
If you visit many carpet store,IF you learn prices and quality,You will have information about the prices. Don't buy a fabric-made carpet. And try to find a carpet which was made from a special paint. This is the strongest colour. Ask about the pain,hand-made or fabric-made and the age of Carpet or rug. And Where was made this carpet or rug in?
I have tried to help you. Because I don't want that you have a bad idea about Turkish people coming out from sellers. They try to have money quicker.
I am always here to help you in any topic or recommendation.
Have a nice trip for Heather and Annie.

I boutht a carpet from a government run store not too far from Cappadocia; I did this because I could be sure of the quality and materials. It was a very small prayer rug of silk on silk and 400 knots per sq inch. It is a Hereke and signed. We paid $1500. When we returned I went to a carpet store here and was told it was a fair price and would gain in value. I loved the colors and design, so am happy.
Some other things to buy are silver bracelets; painted tiles and painted ceramic eggs and plates. It is also fun to buy the harem outfits and little turned up toe slippers. At the spice bazaar you can get good buys on saffron and pine nuts. The Iranian saffron is of better quality and more expensive than Turkish. In Pamukale there are some interesting carvings made from meershum which is found only in this area. I bought a carved egg. Smoking pipes are made from this. Figs are wonderful there as are apricots. They harvest and dry these in the fall. In summer the cherries and peaches are outstanding!
Have a wonderful time; we have been 3 times and are ready to go back!

Hi Annie -
You have gotten some good advice here...
Let me add that we purchased 5 rugs while in Turkey... let me also add that if you don't REALLY like to bargain/negotiate you won't enjoy the experience... but if you do enjoy it, then you will!
One tip... MAKE them let you sign the label on the back of any carpet you have shipped home! Also, make a "big production" out of photographing the rug (preferably digitally) ... those two things will make it very hard to switch the rug on you (fairly common "trick") and you will have a record of it's condition if it were to arrive damaged, or not arrive at all!
We enjoyed the experience and everytime I walk through a room with one of the carpets in it memories of Turkey are right there!
We also should have bought all the silk scarves and leather jackets we could "say grace over"! Best prices on those of anywhere we have ever been... especially now that the TL is "in the toilet"!
Best wishes,

Dear ANNIE
first,I hope you like Turkiye(Turkey). I am Turkish man who l have been in NY for 5 years and taking people who interested in going to Turkeyfor 16 days or more. I am also Archeologist. My recommendation is DO NOT BUY ANY CARPET if your are going to Turkey with tour group because the price really higher then normal price. I don't know where are you going and how you going but if you go by your self or the one you can trust you can buy othervise DO BARGAIN AT LEAST 50 OR 60%. If you send me your scheledue and I can send you some places you can buy cheap. I've been in Travel Businnes almost for 25 years. This year there are many tourist going to Turkiye from Europe so the price of carpets depent on place you go
if you can go out side of touristic area you can get the best price that you have ever seen in your life
by the way HAVE A NICE TRIP TO TURKIYE

The prices vary considerably, depending on quality, size, etc. We purchased a beautiful silk and wool Hereke carpet (8 x 10 feet), incredibly beautiful colours and densely woven, for about US$2,000. The Turkish lire has been devalued since, so I'm not sure what the price would be post-devaluation. We spent about 5 days in Istanbul and did a lot of looking around. There's a fabulous street leading off from the Grand Bazaar, which is lined with carpet shops. The salesmen earn significant commissions. Each salesmen would ask, "Which ship are you from?". People off cruise ships typically have an hour to shop and the salesman will take advantage of this. Nothing like being a "captive audience". When we replied that we were in town for five days and were looking around, the salesmen were visibly nervous, since they knew we were less likely to be taken advantage of. We are satisfied with our carpet purchase, and rather enjoyed the process. We were shown incredibly beautiful carpets! I'd do it again. A caveat - If you're off a cruise ship, don't say so (and don't parade around with obvious signs such as tote bags with the ships logo on it). Say you're from one of the hotels. I understand that it's next to impossible to purchase Hereke carpets outside Turkey, so that's what I would recommend!

We bought a Hereke carpet in Turkey and I love it. No idea if it was a good buy, but it's beautiful. It's quite small and I originally put it on the floor. One of my cats, who rarely sleeps on anything upholstered or on carpet, immediately ran over to 'claim' the carpet when we laid it on the floor - it is afterall silk! - so now I've got it hanging on the wall.

Dear Annie & Heather and Dear all,
Very interesting subject " carpets " I am an accidental carpet dealer for a while while I am awaiting my company to finish the boutique cave hotel project in Cappadocia. The company I work exists since 1960 and they are also producers... To answer some of the questions I feel obliged to write here... Machine made carpets may look perfect but handmade carpets does too. It depens on the loom, weaver, material, density etc. For example there is no carpet ( almost ) to beat a Herek fine silk carpet in perfection and quality. There are so may type of Turkish Carpets & rugs and kilims. What does a Turkish Carpet so special ? Tribal designs, natural dyes when applicable, double knot technique found by Turkish and known as Gordes knot, durability and ofcourse art of weaving including the emotions put in by the weaver. Negotiation part is a different issue ofcourse. Unfortunately there might be salespersons who are not honost shame on them but there are experts who are in the business since years and they put passion and love into their business and take pride on what they do ( like my boss in this case, I am proud with my company ) having said that beeing a professional hotelier I never involved in carpet business due to stories but now I know there are people in business you trust and learn a lot. Prices may vary depending on the carpet and the quality.
Before coming Turkey best to masure spaces you may wish to cover with an original Turkish Double Knotted rug and even check out prices at a local dealer. Why not. When we sell a carpet we supply with a certificate and if its home delivery we use Fedex or Ups so customers tell us when they want the carpet to arrive home, its insured ofcourse and after sales we ask customer to sign both the label at the back and also on the rug itself with a permanent marker. If customer wishes we also take a digital photo and e-mail. I dont understand why people should not send the item purchased ? I am also busy with travel consulting for Turkey for those who wish to have tailor made itineraries fully or partially. Anyone seek help welcome to drop me e-mail.
We are also starting a new project of Rug weaving class in Cappadocia supported by the ministery of educations spesific departmets. Also Turkish Home Made cooking classes while experiencing the local culture.
I would like to great everyone from Cappadocia "the land of beatiful horses"
The only thing I miss here is the sea since I was living on mediterranean but the land is really beautiful and full of history....

I bought a kilim in Selcuk (near Efes, north of Kusadasi) and I love it. It was about $300 - I think it is 4' x 6' - something like that. I've never had it appraised - I don't want to hear that I was cheated etc. It is a lovely souviner from a wonderful trip. Every time I see it, I remember the wonderful time spent in the carpet shop sipping apple tea. They even let me use their computer to send a message to my husband.

Saglik Caddesi No 53
09400 Kusadasi Turkey
Incase you dont want to read the whole story. I brought 2 Hereke Silk on Silk rugs.
56cm x 47cm and 12x12 knots per square centimetre. $3000 USD
150cm x 93cm and 10 x 10 knots per square centimetre. $8000USD
I also received 2 very nice certificates with photos of the rugs on them. He also took both of them to the turkish museum and had the certified as genuine turkish rugs. He also offered to take me along for this process. He is one of the nicest and most genuine people i have been lucky enough to meet in turkey.
I was lucky enough to stumble through the door of a beautiful rug store right next to the old town bazzar in Kusadasi. Earlier That day i had brought my first turkish rugs while on a tour to ephesus. The rugs i purchased turned out to be fake and i will post that story after my money is back in my account.
Muzaffer the store owner was nice and i asked him a few questions about the carpets and how they were made. It took him a few minutes to wind up and then his true passion for turkish carpet started to show. He started to show me some lovely wool on cotton carpets but i told him i wanted a genuine silk on silk turkish rug. He pulled out half a dozen rugs for me to have a look at and each one was more beautiful than the next. I told him that i would love to own one but didnt think i could afford it right now and wanted to shop around a little.
I asked a lot of questions about the areas the rugs were made in and which regions produce the best quality rugs. He told me about this and then began to warn me about the amount of Chinese rugs that are being sold in turkey as genuine turkish rugs. I asked him what to look for when purchasing a silk rug.
He explained to me the process of making each rug.
In turkey they cut the excess material off the rug as each row of nots is tied, this makes the silk extremely short and almost bristly when you move your hand across it.
A chinese rug is still hand woven but is not trimmed during the process, after the rug is completed they machine cut it. A chinese rug ends having a longer pile than a turkish and is more soft to touch. If you give it a good rub and find any strands that stick up its definitely a fake. The chinese version of a silk is often sold as a Kayseri.
If the dealer you are using is good he should produce a small plate with a 1 square centimeter hole in it and a magnifying glass over the top. This allows you to count the knots and confirm that it has the knot count he claims.
Muzaffer also explained that everyone will give you a certificate of authenticity wether it is a fake or not. Muzaffer will actually take you with your carpet to the Turkish museum by ephesus where they will inspect the rug and give you a certificate of authenticity from the turkish government.
After going through all of this Muzaffer told me he is selling his business because he can no longer compete with the other places selling chinese rugs as turkish ones. You could see the pain in his eyes as he told me how many people had shown him fake rugs they had brought while shopping in the area. This had all come to as shock to me and now i was questioning if the rugs i purchased that day were actually legitimate. I thanked Muzaffer for taking the time talk to me and explain what to look for. He never tried to push anything on me and wished me luck on my travels. When i got back to my hotel i checked my carpets and there was no doubt in my mind that they were fake.
The following night i took some of my friends to Muzaffers store and the carpet i had purchased the day before. I asked if he wouldnt mind taking a look at it for me. I barely had it out of my bag when he said it was chinese. The first thing he noticed was the long pile. The second was the ends were cotton and the label on the back clearly said silk on silk. I was sold this rug for $6000 and he said it was worth about $500. He was so saddened to see what i had brought and told me i should return it and ask for a full refund. The following day i called the company i purchased the fake from and organised a return. When i arrived the owner of the shop told me it was a chinese rug and that his salesmen had done the wrong thing and he had fired them. I received a full refund.
I ended up buying 2 beautiful hereke rugs from Muzaffer for a very reasonable price. He is currently trying to sell all of his stock and its going for little more than he paid for it. I will be buying from him again.
If some other people can verify this store it will make carpet buying better for all of us.

'Detonated explosive device' found by train tracks in Warren (UPDATE)
WARREN, Mich. (WJBK) - A small explosive device appears to been set off near train tracks near Eight Mile and Hoover Friday afternoon.
Investigation teams are at the scene of the incident, with the Detroit Bomb Squad assisting. It is being called a "detonated explosive device" by Detroit police.
Warren Mayor Jim Fouts said the explosive device went off alongside the railroad tracks between Hoover and Groesbeck. There was no damage and no injuries he said.
Fouts said the explosion's strength was that of an M-100 on his Facebook page
"At most it could best be described as a small explosion," he wrote. "However, in light of the times we live in one can never completely rule out an act of terrorism no matter how small it appears to be."

Channel 4's Humans returns – and so does its clever advertising campaign
The marketing for the second series of Channel 4's drama Humans focuses on the product recall of malfunctioning synths, and even lets you chat with a number of them via Facebook Messenger.
For the first series of its drama Humans, Channel 4 released an immersive advertising campaign that had people wondering if synthetic humans were arriving onto the market. Well, we wondered for a few minutes at least, before admiring C4's witty and in-depth marketing strategy for the show, which included setting up a fictional shop front on London's Regent Street and selling the products on eBay.
At the end of the series – mild spoiler alert! – viewers saw a number of synths 'going wrong', and it is this theme that is picked up in the new marketing for the second series, which is centred around a product recall of malfunctioning synths. Channel 4 has once again had fun with the possibilities of this, releasing a TV spot, as well as an interview between the real editor-in-chief of the New Scientist and a fictional spokesperson from Persona Synthetics, the makers of the synths. Both are shown below.
In addition to this, there have been trucks appearing in cities across the UK, seemingly from Persona's 'synthetic human collection service'.
The marketing all pushes audiences towards a product recall website for Persona, personasynthetics.com/productrecall, where the fun really begins. Amongst other things, you are given the opportunity to chat via Faceboook Messenger with a synth, who – spoiler alert again! – starts to malfunction during the conversation. It is extremely well done, and as with most things Facebook, very diverting. Channel 4 partnered with Facebook's Creative Shop to create the bot, which is the first ever AI created for purely entertainment purposes in Europe.
It could be argued that going to such depths is a little indulgent for a second series – after all, fans of the show know the premise now, and it will just be confusing for those who didn't see the first series. But actually, it's left me excited to tune in again, and due to the brilliantly pitched blurred lines between fiction and reality in the campaign, it's a perfect reminder of how chilling the premise of the show is.

Getting healthy is not always easy, especially if you try it on your own and are not sure of where to start. This is when my friend, Independent BeachBody Coach, Katie can help.
Have you ever met someone in life that you just connected with the moment you met? Even if you met online? Well, that is how I felt about Independent Beachbody Coach, Katie. From the moment we began emailing she straight up inspired me to do so much more with my life. Not just by working out, but with every aspect of my life from the way I viewed life, family, food, and yes, my body. Katie is one of those people who has been where we all are and has changed her life for the better and instead of just going on with her life, she has made it her mission to help others do the same thing.
I asked Katie to share some information about herself and on her outlook on getting healthy with you and this is what she had to say:
I am the self proclaimed Happy Health coach at Get Healthy With Katie, INC. I personally lost over 65 pounds after having my twin girls and I've been able to keep it off for over 6 years now. I've learned a lot through the process and share with others how to live healthy lives and get their SMILES back with full Support, Motivation, Inspiration, Love, Empowerment and SUCCESS
I believe in living life to the fullest and having FUN no matter what life throws at you. Live, Love, INSPIRE is my motto
I provide free monthly meal planning, as nutrition is key to everyone's results. I also host monthly challenges that involve an in-home workout program, nutrition plan and one on one support from me and others in a private motivating community group.
I give fitness tips and tricks daily on my business page here on FB: www.fb.com/gethealthywithkatie
Oh, and don't worry, Katie is NOT one of those people that makes you feel bad about being unhealthy or that pushes you to lose weight her way, instead she takes the time to get to know you and does what she can to help you get to where you want to be. Once she really knows you and your goals, she then spends time giving you workout choices through Beachbody Fitness.
Another thing I love about Katie and her help in getting healthy is that once she becomes your fitness coach, she continues as long as you need her. She doesn't just sell you a workout and then forget about you. She is there 100% to give you all the support you need. She offers meal plans, advice, information and is always available to answer any questions. For instance… here is her post on the Top 10 Reasons New Year's resolutions fail
Top 10 reasons New Year's resolutions FAIL
- No accountability
2. Poor time management
3. Financial Burden
4. Created unrealistic goals
5. Not believing in yourself
6. Not tracking your progress
7. Not enough action
8. You see achieving your goals as a chore
9. You don't trust the process
10. You have your what but not your 'why'
Tips to avoid those special occasion temptations.
- Never tell yourself 'It's OK, it's the weekend'. That opens the door for 6 weeks of splurging.
2.Remember, EAT before you meet. Have this small meal before you go to any parties: a hard-boiled egg, an apple and the thirst quencher (water, seltzer, or tea)
3. As obvious as it sounds, don't stand near the food at parties. Make the effort, and you'll find that you won't be tempted.
4. At a buffet? Eating a little of everything guarantees high calories. Decide on three or four things, only one of which is high in calories. Save that for the last so there's less chance of overeating.
5. Next party you attend, wear your snuggest-fitting clothes. Forget elastic waistbands
6. Give it away! After company leaves, give away leftover food and desserts to neighbors, doormen, departing guests, delivery people or take it to work the next day.
7. Walk around the mall three times before you start shopping.
8. Make sure to exercise at a higher intensity and for a longer period of time on the days you plan to enjoy that desert or a glass of champagne
9. When you feel obligated to eat all of the food made host, or to taste the cake made in your honor, go for it! Most will be happy to see you've eagerly put their special creation on your plate, and they won't even notice that you've simply sampled each item.

- Follow Katie on Facebook

Flying Heritage Collection
In 1998, Paul G. Allen began acquiring and preserving these iconic warriors and workhorses, many of which are the last of their kind. Allen's passion for aviation and history, and his awareness of the increasing rarity of original WWII aircraft, motivated him to restore these artifacts to the highest standard of authenticity and share them with the public.
While the education they provide is significant, we hope you take special pleasure in knowing that these historic aircraft are not meant simply for display in a static museum environment. As part of the Flying Heritage Collection, their destiny is to return once more to the sky, where they were always meant to be.
The Flying Heritage Collection is operated by Friends of Flying Heritage, a 501 (c)(3) organization committed to educating the public about these rare, historic aircraft.

Many folks were quick to link Cleveland Browns front office comrade Jon Sandusky to the sad, complex and still-developing scandal which has unfolded in Happy Valley. Though the football program is secondary to what has occurred at Linebacker U., up-and-coming Browns first-year wide receiver Jordan Norwood recently spoke of the issues that have recently come down upon his alma mater.
"I was certainly shocked," Norwood told The Plain Dealer Wednesday. "Above everything else, my heart goes out to the young men, the young boys and the families that were affected."
Norwood was at Penn State between 2005 and 2008. His father, Brian, was on the Nittany Lions coaching staff between 2001 and 2007, a span in which the alleged incident in 2002 occurred. Norwood is in the midst of his best season since leaving Penn State, hauling in eight balls for 63 yards thus far in 2011.
Catching five passes for 32 yards in the loss against the San Francisco 49ers, Norwood passed former second-round receiver Brian Robiskie, who was later released by the team as the Browns were in dire need of depth at running back following the injuries sustained by Peyton Hillis and Montario Hardesty.
He will likely get a chance to replicate his outing against the Niners this Sunday as the Browns host the St. Louis Rams with receiver Mohammed Massaquoi being sent home multiple times over the past week with symptoms stemming from a recent concussion.
Despite all of the ties that continue to point back to the field of play, Norwood – who insists he is focused on this Sunday's game – appeared to not let these variables cloud the issues that remain at the forefront.
"There's no doubt [it's hard on the entire Penn State family]," he said. "It's tough and unfortunate — more so for the young men and young boys that were involved."

Seven Invisible Men Trailer (2005)
10 December 2005 119 mins
The most unusual of all Bartas films, the pre-apocalyptic Seven Invisible Men (2005) starts off like a genre movie – a bunch of robbers trying to evade the police after stealing and selling off a car. It is only after about half an hour, when one of them arrives at a farm that is near completely severed from the rest of the world, that the film moves into the world of Bartas.
Watch the official Seven Invisible Men 2005 trailer in HD below or find more Seven Invisible Men videos on Vidimovie.

Places to Watch March Madness
March Madness begins today! Here is a list of places you should go to watch the March Madness games.
March Madness begins today! Here is a list of places you should go to watch the March Madness games.
Yesterday, the WNIT bracket was released, and we now know who the Bobcats will face.
Earlier today, the NCAA revealed their College Basketball Championship Bracket.
With March Madness beginning next week, I decided to build my own bracket of 16 New Country Music Artist. You will have the chance to vote for your favorite.
There is one team from last year's NCAA championship game still alive and it's not the Duke Blue Devils.
Yup Butler, the little-team-that-could from Indianapolis, is at it again, defeating Wisconsin 61-54 and advancing to the Elite Eight, where they'll face the Florida Gators.
The first week of the NCAA Basketball Tournament has been put to rest. Here are the highlights:
In workplaces all over America, folks spent Thursday morning scrambling to get their NCAA tournament brackets filled out before it was too late.
Not so at ESPN headquarters in Bristol, Connecticut. That's because employees at ESPN -- which had been promoting its bracket challenge front and center on its website -- are banned from any bracket activity while at work.
When you are watching the NCAA Tournament this month, expect to see many shots of cheerleaders, particularly during timeouts. And why not? These young (mostly) ladies are athletes in their own right, and add a lot to the ambiance...
Barack Obama didn't take a whole lot of risks when filling out his NCAA Tournament brackets.
The President has all four number one seeds — Duke, Pittsburgh, Ohio State and Kansas — advancing to the Final Four, with Kansas winning it all...

They ventured on hikes and canoe trips, hauled in fish and invertebrates with seining nets, and studied the anatomy of blue crabs. SERC's education programs are possible through the help of dozens of volunteers who lead field trips and assist behind the scenes. In the coming months, we'll highlight the work of some of these volunteers in the SERC newsletter and on our blog.
Lenore Naranjo has been volunteering with SERC for over 13 years. After starting as a volunteer in SERC's canopy labs, she began working with the education program, leading field study groups that give children a hands-on approach to a variety of marine habitats.
"We set up baskets with oysters, and they stay sitting on the bottom of the river through spring, summer, and fall, where they act as a habitat for fish and small critters," she explains. During field trips, she pulls the baskets from the river bed and sets them in a tray of water so children can explore the baskets' contents. "Some kids are very hesitant and don't want to put their hands in something unfamiliar. But then they watch their friends who aren't hesitant, and the next thing you know, they're in there too, pulling out fish and crabs."

Energy Update ~ MASSIVE New Grid, 'Family' Transformation
By Anastacia
Blue Beyond - Energy Update - MASSIVE New Grid 'Family' Transformation - 22nd October 2016
Part 7/Second Series Just for October Let Go Update ~ (please read previous parts, which are a time-line in understanding the flow of energies leading up to this article/post)
Blue rays and others whose souls role it is to transmute for others 'close' are being 'picked up and slammed' around energetically right now.
* This is being severely felt by Indigo's as well, especially those of under the age (roughly) of 20, who are also going through their hormonal and developmental changes that come with these ages*
As the new grid is being formed for each of us and for those who are in a place of being a central point for others as TRANSMUTERS of energies are feeling more than their 'own' that is going on.
New Template foundations in areas are being 'set' or formed and we need to set the new...and not include the old in situations and areas, of what used to be.
We are STRONGER now and we CAN handle and deal with so much more.
Group conflict and group harmony.
The possibilities are ENDLESS for new grid connections and foundation laying.
This is SO MUCH BIGGER THAN JUST US.
Many of us feeling this intensity...and once being made aware of - this is not only 'ours' - can then identify, recognise and feel this and this allows a bigger insight and understanding of the SO MUCH MORE going on - above in Spirit, Astrals and Multi-Dimesnions.
Now is NOT a time to be closed off...as if we close off right now, this energy will not 'go away'.
It will stay 'around' and this can lead to a 'build' up of the old that needs to be felt into, to allow this to be RELEASED...Those coming from their 'heads' more so.
As part of my role in humanities ascension and growth this was done for and with humanity with my 'spiritual family' in the last hour.
It was a group healing of us all...as we are all inter-linked.
So the new family foundation energy has been created in our New Grid in the Human and in Spirit.
~ I was a little 'surprised' in writing what I just did then, yet Spirit has guided to share this (also) with you:
We are making progress...the way is being paved and not only just with myself and those close to me...as so many of you are doing so much as well.
We are all part of and contributing to the New Grid...for ourselves and for HUmanity.
Nothing you are doing or experiencing is being 'lost' or not 'noticed'...it is all real and happening right here and now.
We are doing this and we are doing this separately in our roles, yet together as ONE of the DIVINE.
Understand this is going on and is so huge as you will see this around the globe.
Stand back and continue to be all you as you are amazing and beautiful and I see and feel you..the Divine sees and feels you.
And we thankyou...from the bottom of our hearts and soul.
I am right here with you and always have been.
You just needed to know and notice as many of you now are.
Much Love and Divine Blessings

Maximize memory performance and get more out of your servers.Memory-dependant server applications are often inhibited by RDIMM channel ranking limitations. Crucial LRDIMMs solve this problem by utilizing a memory buffer chip that reduces electrical loads presented to the memory bus, allowing more DIMMs to be populated per channel. The result? Increased memory bandwidth, improved energy efficiency, and greater memory density compared to standard RDIMMs.Increase memory bandwidth and performanceSince Crucial LRDIMMs are engineered to reduce electrical loads presented to the CPU, they enable more installed DIMMS per channel for greater memory density. With more memory density and reduced electrical loads, servers are able to run Crucial LRDIMMs at a higher frequency, enabling up to 50 percent more memory bandwidth.Increase energy efficiency and lower your TCONot only do Crucial LRDIMMs use less voltage and standby current, but they transmit power in a more efficient manner to the CPU (via the data path buffer), allowing for additional power savings and a lower total cost of ownership.

I'll be spending 3 nights with my wife in Hong Kong towards the end of May, and am looking for some reassurance for my eating plans :)
Hutong (Peking Road)
Tai Woo (27 Percival Street)
Tanyoto (26 Kimberley Road or 129-135 Johnston Road
Hutong is the more up market place on the list. I'd rather eat in cheaper places for the other 2 nights. I'd prefer Cantonese food, if possible, over any other cuisine, as I'll be visiting various places in China, Korea and Japan in the same trip, and so will be able to sample other cuisines while there. OK, I know that Tanyoto serves Szechuan food, but it does look rather good :D
I'll have 1 more night in Hong Kong in June, but would prefer something near Tung Chung for that, if possible.
Also, I'm looking for breakfast recomendations near Harbour Road (I'll be staying at the Grand Hyatt). Something tasty, cheap and within short walking distance would be nice :)
Looking forward to your suggestions!

A dildo may be used along with a drumstick. So along with fingers, you could work with a dildo. The best manner would be to utilize a dildo like a Aneros -dildo which has a handle for easy management and removal in the event of problem.
You might also be required to test and orgasm with all the plug in place. This strategy is completely a key to a fantastic climax! There are lots of ways you can reach a vaginal climax.
Jelly dildo will perform the job for the very first time. Firmer dildos are advised for harness usage. Dildos are made from rubber. Hard plastic dildos are inflexible and lots of women just don't love the sense of these.
Whatever your use that is exact, you ought to choose a dildo produced from strong stuff, it should have no sharp angles, it ought to be smooth and the areas of the device ought to be assembled together snugly and solidly. It is best after you know what type of adult toy fits you, to only get a silicone dildo. An easy and strong dildo is often superior than bunches of the fancily shaped dildos you might get out there. Generally, a straight- shafted and entirely smooth glass dildo, is perfect for you personally in the event you're new to 'dildo sex'. A twister glass dildo is generally straight and might also be ribbed.
It is achievable if it is a vibrator, to change it it, push it, tap onto it, it's easy for you yourself to increase or reduce steadily the speeds. Vibrators might be used in an choice of varied strategies and can be found in many diverse styles which work for the two women and men. For example, they may take the labor from your efforts and are a significant help. You could possibly employ your vibrator to improve your love life.
The area of sex toys is here a ways from your straightforward dildo and vibrator. It is not only the fact that you simply can now do numerous locations, it's the reality that with you being in a place to do a wide selection of sex positions, as of this point you are going to be able to spark hard to attain areas of the vagina too. In addition, you will currently have the capacity to attain many orgasms as well (should you-go the organic route with male enhancement). After that, communicate that it's a significant turn on for you to really envision using one on her. There's a deepening in this region, exactly like a vagina that is tiny. There's a deepening in this region, the sam-e as a vagina. Now yes, getting the capability to make use of your dick nicely in bed will surely be a plus, but should you be attempting to acquire your spouse to achieve screaming numerous orgasms, obtaining a larger endowment (along with different pluses) is what's planning to make it occur.
It's usually only for short periods of time, if these are utilized by women then. Since every girl differs, it's important to learn your personal body and to comprehend what you find exciting. It is often the only real means for numerous women to orgasm even before actual sex. What's mo Re, women will not encounter the kind of sexual gratification a tight vagina provides. Second, lots of women can get dependent to achieve climax. Inexperienced women are generally not ready to adopt the psychological effects of a threesome. Before achieving the degree that is comfortable to pursue a sexual intrigue most bisexual ladies would rather develop no significantly less than the usual friendship having another girl.
In case you're larger, now you can do all kinds of sex positions (such as the positions you see in these adult films). It is additionally possible to concentrate on only the place that's giving you the pleasure all. In addition, it really is crucial to think about the job of the erect member about the giver's mouth and throat. There are lots of chances for a cooled dildo.
Now with reference to really considering which toy is for merely bear in mind this. This toy that is sexual is put in the anus at an identical side along with the end might be placed in to the vagina also. Fortunately for us, female self-pleasure toys are observed in our personal kitchen. As significantly as which bunny is appropriate for you personally, I inform trying them out your self.
The identical strategy can likewise be applied to enhancement toys too. In the event that you favor to buy your very first toy to continue, pick a dildo! To start with, it is imperative to understand that all lasting" sex toys will need just a little maintenance. It is very important to wash your sex toy after each use for anyone reasons mentioned previously. Essentially the best/optimally sex toys for women are only those which get you away.

It seems like the unspoken rule of all #TV show speculation is that as soon as a season has premiered, it's time to talk not about that one, but about the next — let's be real, aired episodes are just so last week. So while #TheWalkingDead has finally returned with Season 7 after one of its biggest cliffhangers ever, we're already looking into Season 8, and the new cast members who are going to be needed after half the Alexandria team has been decimated by #Negan's weapon of choice.
People is reporting that #MariaBello, who appeared this year in horror movie #LightsOut, will be getting a part in the show's upcoming season and joining Rick and the gang in apocalyptic zombie hell. The 49-year-old actress has starred in movies such as Prisoners and A History of Violence, but mostly she's excelled on TV in shows such as Prime Suspect and ER.
- The Ultimate The Walking Dead Season 7 Guide: News, Recaps, Promos & All You Need To Know
- The Walking Dead — Here's Who Should Have Died In The Season 7 Premiere
- Shiva The Tiger On The Walking Dead Reaffirms This One Interesting Fact About The Walker Virus
'I Am Obsessed With The Show'
It seems like you can be so obsessed with a show that you can ask them to write a part for you, as Bello did with one of the producers on The Walking Dead:
"I am obsessed with the show. I have a friend who's a producer on it and I've asked them to write me a part, which apparently they are for next season."
To be honest, wouldn't we all beg to get to put some zombie makeup on and trudge around the set with Rick and Negan if we could? Bello added that it didn't even really matter to her if her part was an actual character from the comics or not:
"Even if I just play a zombie. I said, 'I'll just come out and play a zombie for an episode, I don't care!' But it is my favorite show."
While there are no details of her role yet — will she be hidden in the walkers crowd? Or front and center as a fully fleshed out new character? — her addition to the show is certainly great news, and we can count as much on her talent as her passion to contribute to the awesomeness of The Walking Dead.
How happy are you with Season 7 of 'The Walking Dead' so far?

I am trying to plan a 14 day trip to Germany this late spring. Arrive Dusseldorf and want to visit Munich area? and Berlin for sure, before return to Frankfurt to catch flight home.
Since its been 35 years since Ive been there last, I would appreciate any thoughts as to an itinerary from Maybe:
Cologne-Stasbourg-Munich-Berlin ???
Any suggestions from anyone familiar with the area would be greatly appreciated. I would prefer train travel as one of our party doesn't do well on long car rides anymore, and Im willing to give in, even though Im a big Europe driver.

Itinerary around Germany ?
I am trying to plan a 14 day trip to Germany this late spring. Arrive Dusseldorf and want to visit Munich area? and Berlin for sure, before return to Frankfurt to catch flight home.
Report Abuse
Many people are familiar, but how do we choose something suitable for 14 days matching your taste we don't know from a long list of destinations?
An obvious question is, neither Dusseldorf nor Frankfurt are on your destinations. Why are you using these airports? Why consume a day or more (10% of your time in Germany) to include non-destinations?
Also, cars and trains have both pros and cons. Not car does not automatically mean trains. A person may do well neither in cars nor in trains. I don't know the reason for no car. If that person is a heavy packer or have mobility problems, train trips can be a hassle.
Report Abuse
I would limit my time in the larger cities you have suggested - if Berlin and Munich are for-sures, then spend 7-8 days seeing them, but pen into your itinerary some smaller towns too. There are many fine German destinations that unlike the places you named were not destroyed and rebuilt in the 1940's and 50's and retain a lot of old-world character.
Have a look at some of Bavaria Ben's trip reports to gather ideas. Here's his most recent report:
Others are here:
Here are a few towns you might investigate in different parts of the country.
Oberwesel (Rhine River) - http://s1.germany.travel/media/content/erholung/ferienstrassen_1/rheinischer_sagenweg/Tal_der_Loreley_-_Oberwesel_mit_Schoenburg_RET_1024x768.jpg

How large is your group and how mobile? You will get plenty of suggestions on places to visit but it would help to know a little more about what you are able to do or if you are expecting to be in the larger cities only.
Taking the train to each destination will involve either long walks, taxi transportation or long waits for ground transportation, all with luggage in tow. As you well know with a car it is much easier to reach out-of-the-way places like Seiffen, Garmish, Ettal, Rothenburg, Quedlinburg etc.
Report Abuse
Thank you for the info.
Our party is 4 people, have no mobility issues, just one that can't stand high speed on the roads- they freak out.
I do not need to visit large cities, in fact i would prefer smaller more picturesque towns, just not too far off the beaten path since time is short
Unfortunately flight ONLY goes into Dusseldorf (AA) and leaves from Frankfurt (AA) on the dates we have in May, we r trying but not sure we can change cities in and out.
The only city we don't want to miss is Berlin since two of the party have never been and they are art fanatics.
Strausburg is the type of town we like, but I am open to suggestions. If we have to take a car part of the way, I guess it is OK (I prefer car travel),
Probably stay in Frankfurt the nite before we leave.
Let me know if you have any other questions I can answer to make it easier for anyone to make suggestions.
Report Abuse
Don't know where you're flying from, but we just went to Dresden from JFK. We also used AA and had to first land in Dusseldorf, and then connect to a flight to Dresden (on Berlin Air, a partner with AA). I'm pretty sure you can do the same if you want to go to Berlin using AA/Air Berlin.
Report Abuse
If you are staying in Frankfurt the day before you leave, you might want to set aside some time to visit the Städel and perhaps the Schirn too. If your friends are art fanatics, they will enjoy these two art museums.

"I do not need to visit large cities, in fact i would prefer smaller more picturesque towns... The only city we don't want to miss is Berlin... flight ONLY goes into Dusseldorf (AA) and leaves from Frankfurt..."
After a night in D'dorf to rest up...
Berlin (4-5 nights)
Then begin your tour of smaller places as you make your way toward the Frankfurt area... some suggestions...
Hannoversch Münden and its 700+ half-timbered buildings: http://www.ralf-stutzer.de/Rollergemeinschaft/Bilder/Jahresfahrt%202008/Marktplatz%20%20Hann%5B1%5D.%20M%FCnden.JPG
Gelnhausen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XtCzNK12U3U
Büdingen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EX0yo8dtbEI
The German Half-timbered House Road includes some of the above towns and other towns that may interest you as well:
Oberwesel, Bacharach, St. Goar, Boppard (Rhine villages, castles:
Then spend a final night in Mainz before flying out of FRA (Mainz is about 25 min. by direct train from FRA.)
All the towns I have specifically mentioned above are accessible by train.
Report Abuse
Strasbourg is a long way to go on a DUS-FRA flight duo with Berlin as the only absolute must.
Neither Dusseldorf nor Cologne are high on the list of most folks headed to Germany. If you don't want to stay in Dusseldorf for a day before heading to Berlin, with all the packing unpacking that entails, and then take a 4+ hour train trip to Berlin the next day, you could take that train trip the same day (long day but not much longer than if you had a connecting flight to somewhere in Europe anyway), or you could fly on to Berlin from DUS. Air Berlin has one way flights for about $91US regularly.
On the way back to FRA, from Berlin, there is also Dresden to consider (did someone say "art fanatics"?)
The northern Harz towns mentioned by Russ (Wernigerode and Goslar) are fantastic, but he didn't mention Quedlinburg, probably the biggest jewel of them all. They are all close together and accessible by train, with a connection in Halberstadt
Report Abuse
Forgot to mention that that same day as arrival train option from Dusseldorf to Berlin leaves from the DUS airport and has no connections - it's a direct trip and it 4:11 hours.
The trains leave hourly, on the hour. It is 111 Euros fully flexible - no reservations, any train, and the price can be as low as 79 Euro for a specific train booking
Report Abuse
Here's another suggestion. After Berlin, head toward the Dresden area, from which you can also take a number of day trips to places like Leipzig, Saxon Switzerland, Goerlitz, etc. Then go to the Bamberg-Wuertzburg region, from which you could also visit places on the Romantic Road, such as Rothenburg. From there, Frankfurt is an easy drive or train ride.
