Images are loaded and saved by the IMG_File class, which provides a variety of features:
The easiest way to load an image file is to
open() it,
readImages() from it, and then
close() the file.
The following sections describe this process in more detail.
To open an image for reading, pass the filename to IMG_File::open(). You can also pass in an IMG_FileParms structure to tell the loader how to organize your data. By using the IMG_FileParms correctly, you may be able to avoid the need to post-process the scanline data. Not all the parameters are available for writing, since most of the data for the write is specified in the IMG_Stat. See the "Write Effect" section in each for what applies to writing and what is ignored.
IMG_FileParms allows you to do the following:
Raster depth conversion and RGB/RGBA conversions are common re-organizations. Now, you can also specify if you want the data interleaved (RGBRGBRGB) or non-interleaved (RRRGGGBBB) or as-is.
By default, the data is interleaved and left at the native raster depth and color model.
These are the effects of the above IMG_FileParms methods when writing:
- setDataType() - write the data as type (if supported by format). - setColorModel() - write the data in model model (if supported by format). - setInterleaved() - specifies how we are passing the data - as interleaved or non-interleaved (default interleaved). - setLuminanceFunc() - if demoting an RGB(A) plane to a single channel, specifies how to do it. - all others - ignored for writing.
In addition to scaling to a given resolution, the new API also supports some more common scale operations. Most of these are mutually exclusive. To do cropping instead of scaling, see Data Window below.
By default, the native resolution is used.
ignored for all.
Data windows can be embedded in certain file formats, but you can also specify your own window (regardless of whether a data window exists in the file). When specifying a subregion to read, you will be reading that area, not the full image area.
By default, all file data windows are expanded to fill the entire image.
ignored for all.
In addition to being able to flip a file vertically, the new API allows you to specify an orientation and then flip horizontally or vertically. You can also flop the image (rotate it 90'). The orientation and flip work together to avoid doubling flipping.
By default, the image is read so that the (0,0) pixel is in the bottom left corner of the image.
Specifies how to flip the image when outputting. flopImage() ignored.
You can also specify color correction to be applied to the image before any of its data is converted (ie, if you're converting a FP image to an 8 bit texture, you can apply gamma and/or a LUT first, before quantization occurs).
By default, no color correction is performed.
Applies a LUT and gamma to the output planes which match the scope.
You can set format-specific options, like compression, through the IMG_FileParms::setOption() method. This is still relatively simplistic, as it takes a string for both option name and value. This may be upgraded later.
You can use a tile-based interface to IMG_File for writing data as well. Internally, this still uses scanlines. This is a convenience function for ease of data manipulation only.
It's possible to extend SOHO to add image options the user can pass to the image format being rendered. If you examine

Now that a sequel to Jurassic World -- the third highest-grossing movie of all time -- is officially set for a June 22, 2018 release, director Colin Trevorrow has shed some light on where the followup could possibly take the franchise next.
Although he remained noncommittal about whether he'd return as director -- Trevorrow is co-scripting the sequel with his writing partner Derek Connolly -- the filmmaker informed Wired the next installment won't be "just a bunch of dinosaurs chasing people on an island."
Said Trevorrow: "I know they're going to want to make them, I know that (exec producer Steven Spielberg) definitely wants to make several of these movies, and I want to do my job in setting the table for something that can be rich and thoughtful and interesting."
The filmmaker said there are already implications of the dinosaur cloning technology going far beyond theme parks and, like nuclear power, possibly being used as weaponry or an energy source: "And this isn't something necessarily that was in the book but is a seed that I wanted to plant in this movie, is that might be able to grow in more of these movies if they decide to make more of them, is: What if this went open source? It's almost like InGen is Mac, but what if PC gets their hands on it? What if there are 15 different entities around the world who can make a dinosaur?"
"And Dr Wu says in the film, when he's warning Dr Mesrani, 'we're not always going to be the only ones who can make a dinosaur'. I think that's an interesting idea that even if we don't explore fully in this film, there is room for this universe to expand. I shouldn't use the word universe, because people will think we're making a Jurassic World universe -- we're not."
Jurassic World stars Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard will reprise their roles for the sequel. No word yet whether B.D. Wong will also be back as the aforementioned geneticist Dr. Henry Wu.

Snoring is something that many of us deal with at some point in our lives. In fact, according to studies almost 60% of people say their partner snores. It can be our own snores that disrupt our sleep or those of a loved one. Whichever it is, there are ways to make sure you get a good night's rest. For example, essential oils for snoring can play a vital role in controlling how you sleep.
The question is which ones will work the best?
The answer to that question depends on the reason for your snoring in the first place.
Snoring caused by allergies needs oils with an antihistaminic property.
Sinus infections may need an essential oil combination that has anti-inflammatory and anti-viral aspects. This is true of other illnesses that cause inflammation too.
And a chest cold may call for an essential oil that has decongestive properties.
Let's take a look at some of the best essential oils for snoring and the best ways to use them.
Essential oils for snoring
• Peppermint
Peppermint essential oil is a great remedy for someone who snores. In fact, you can use it to treat breathing issues such as asthma too. It's anti-inflammatory properties are great at relieving the inflammation that can be present in your nostrils and throat when you are suffering with a head cold or severe allergies. Peppermint essential oil is actually an ingredient that is often found in chest rubs. It's also an ingredient of other natural products designed to help with congestion.
• Lavender
Lavender is well known for its soothing characteristics. It's known too for its ability to provide a relaxing night of sleep. It has antispasmodic properties that can help clear your airways and reduce your snoring. This will result in a restful and relaxing night. The stimulating nature of lavender can loosen up phlegm and relieve congestion associated with respiratory conditions. It has antibacterial qualities that can help you recover from respiratory infections too.
• Lemon
Breathing in lemon is a great way to clear your nasal and sinus passages. It's of great use for treating breathing conditions such as asthma and insomnia. The best way to use lemon essential oil is to mix it with another oil that will compliment its effects.
• Thyme
Thyme is an essential oil that's well known to have a lot of health benefits. And it's now known to be a great essential oil for snoring. It even has properties that will help minimize bacterial infections and coughing. Thyme is an essential oil that is best diluted in carrier oils, such as coconut or almond.
• Marjoram
Marjoram essential oil is a great treatment for night-time sleeping difficulties like sleep apnea. These can be a root cause of snoring. Marjoram is known for supporting a healthy respiratory system which can result in lessening or completely stopping your snoring.
• Eucalyptus
Eucalyptus oil is great for relieving breathing difficulties such as asthma, sinusitis, and bronchitis. All these can cause your snoring to intensify. It's a great oil to combine with other essential oils like lavender or lemon. The resulting mixture will be a soothing relief that can help with snoring and other breathing complaints.
Ways to use essential oils for snoring
• Gargle – Add about two or three drops of an essential oil to a glass of water. Gargle a few minutes before you go to bed at night. Peppermint is a great oil for gargling; just remember to avoid swallowing the mixture.
• Diffuse – When you diffuse essential oils for snoring they work great. If you don't have a diffuser, creating a room spray works just as well.
• Massage oil – Dilute the essential oil of your choice with a carrier oil to make a mixture. You can then massage this mixture into your chest, neck, or feet. You can even dab it right under your nose for an inhalation effect as well.
• Hot steamy bath – If congestion is the cause of your snoring, a hot bath works well. Adding a few drops of one of the oils listed above will do wonders. Just make sure the bath is hot enough to produce enough steam to allow the vapors to clear your airways.
Snoring has plagued families for centuries by keeping them awake at night. Essential oils have made it easy to manage the snores of you and your loved ones. The next time snoring is keeping you awake, try a natural essential oil combination. This will help you get a good night's sleep.

Mandalay Bay Sportsbook 101
The Mandalay Bay sportsbook designates as much of this large room to horse racing as it does to sporting events, which is rare these days in Las Vegas.
Mandalay Bay sports betting is located at the west end of the huge casino floor and it's a non-smoking area.
There are complimentary drink vouchers available but plan on betting at least $300 to get one. There's a full-service bar in the Mandalay Bay Las Vegas sportsbook area along with the Turf Club Deli snack bar, which serves burgers and other sandwiches.
The entire Mandalay Bay property sits at 3950 South Las Vegas Boulevard. The daily Mandalay Bay sportsbook hours are Monday to Thursday from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., Friday from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m., Saturday from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., and Sunday from 7 a.m. to 10:30 p.m.
Players must be 21 years of age or older to wager anywhere in Nevada.
Is this one of the best sportsbooks in Las Vegas? It might be with horse racing fans, but the darkroom could use a bit of an upgrade.
Sectional odds boards are displayed among the 17 big-screen TVs on the main wall. The entire room seats about 300 guests, with simple floor seating on the main area and an elevated space by the bar. This spot includes countless seats with individual monitors.
Seating cannot be reserved in the book. However, there is reserved VIP horse racing seating available in the horse racing section or bar area.
The sportsbook is bordered by a poker room, but the activities in that area don't interfere with those watching the many sporting events.
Bettors must first register at any of the nine MGM properties on the Strip to take their action online with the playMGM app, which can be downloaded to your Android or iOS device.
Mandalay Bay sportsbook odds are offered on all the major sporting events, including Mandalay Bay entertainment esports. But this platform, which is an IGT PlaySpot mobile solution, is only available in the state of Nevada.
The best online solution anywhere in the United States is the top-ranked site Bovada. This trusted provider has been in operation for years and offers members countless bonuses.
More Speed
Better Bonuses
It's Game Time at Mandalay Bay
There are two entrances to the Mandalay Bay sports lines, one off the main casino floor and the other for those coming from the Delano Las Vegas suites.
On a typical weekday, there are a few betting windows open for sports and horse racing. The traffic picks up on the weekend, though, especially if there's a major championship on the schedule.
- Available Sports
Here are some of the sports with posted Mandalay Bay Las Vegas sportsbook odds:
- Pro and college football
- Pro and college basketball
- Major League Baseball, including playoffs and World Series
- Mixed Martial Arts and UFC events
- Major soccer leagues from around the world
- Boxing, but mostly just major bouts
- Hockey, including the playoffs and Stanley Cup
- Auto racing, with weekly race odds and Sprint Cup Championship futures
- Golf, with weekly odds and futures on all four majors
- Tennis, with odds on all four Grand Slam events
- Available Bets
Here are some of the bets available at the land-based Mandalay Bay sportsbook:
- Money line
- Point spread
- Over/under totals
- Future betting
- Some proposition bets, especially for the Super Bowl
Mandalay Bay online sports betting offers even more wagering options, especially on props and "in-play" wagering where odds and spreads change continuously as the sporting event unfolds.
This type of betting has become a hot ticket at the Mandalay Bay sportsbook online and other Las Vegas venues, including the Bellagio, Westgate, South Point and Station casinos.
Mandalay Bay Rewards
There are nine MGM properties on the Las Vegas Strip, including Mandalay Bay. They all offer the same free rewards card — Mlife.
Members gain exclusive access, benefits and rewards at all of the MGM venues by earning points for every dollar spent or gambled.
The starting tier, which is Sapphire (blue card), has limited benefits, but the rewards change at the next level called Pearl. These members are awarded discounts, dedicated line options at restaurants and buffets, and complimentary parking.
Members can continue the climb up the Mlife ladder into Gold, Platinum and the Noir level (black card). The higher the level, the more privileges on meals, room rates, and complimentary gifts.
Tier credits are accumulated from October 1 to September 30. If you advance to a higher tier at any time, you'll enjoy those benefits for at least one full year.
- Location on the Strip
The 43-story Mandalay Bay resort and casino is located on the west side of Las Vegas Boulevard, south of another MGM property in the Luxor. The rooms facing Interstate 15 also offer a perfect view of the 65,000-seat Las Vegas Stadium, the new home of the NFL's Raiders.
- Visitors can access all three hotels — Mandalay Bay, Delano and Four Seasons — off Mandalay Bay Road.
- Guests arriving at McCarran International Airport will head west on Tropicana Avenue to the Strip, before making a left-hand turn on Las Vegas Boulevard. Travel south before making a right-hand turn onto Mandalay Bay Road.
- A tram connects Mandalay Bay to two other MGM properties — the Luxor and Excalibur. The short ride is free.
- Guests of Mandalay Bay never have to go outside to visit their neighbors to the north as a pedestrian mall connects the three MGM properties.
- Mandalay Bay Parking
MGM properties, including Mandalay Bay, started charging for parking in 2016. Like many amenities on the Strip, it used to be free.
- The five-floor Mandalay Bay parking garage is located behind the main resort off Frank Sinatra Drive.
- There's no charge for the first hour on your first day here. After that, it's $12 from one to four hours, $15 over four to 24 hours, and $15 per day after that.
- Valet parking is even higher. It's $16 for under two hours, $18 for two to four hours, and $24 for four to 24 hours. After that, it's $24 per day.
Mandalay Bay, like other MGM resorts, does offer some discounts and complimentary parking to those that have an Mlife rewards card. The rewards vary on the status of the cardholder and the amount of money gambled or spent at the resort.
- Public Transportion Options
Public transportation and ride sharing programs are the best bet for visitors staying at Mandalay Bay. Ride share programs like Uber and Lyft are taking over market share from the more expensive taxi services.
- Download the ride share program apps Uber and Lyft. The cost for a ride is about two-thirds of the taxi service. Pick up your ride share on the second level of the parking garage at the airport.
- If speed from the airport to Mandalay Bay is an issue, grab one of the taxis that is lined up just outside the main terminal. It will cost around $20-25 for a ride, including tip, to the resort.
- Limousine services are available with the going rate around $85-90 an hour.
- The Las Vegas public transit bus service runs 24 hours a day on the Strip, with routes to and from the airport as well. A two-hour bus pass on the Strip is $6, 24-hour pass is $8 and a three-day pass is $20.
- The pass is good for the Deuce and Express bus lines. The Deuce is the slower of the two services, stopping at almost every resort on the Strip, including Mandalay Bay. The Express also makes a stop at the resort, whether it is traveling north or south.
- Both bus services will take visitors all over the Las Vegas area, including the two outlet malls and Downtown Vegas.
- Food & Drinks at Mandalay Bay
With the fifth-largest convention center in the world and a 12,000-seat events center, you can be sure Mandalay Bay has some of the finest restaurants on the guest's list. In total, there are 24 restaurants to choose from on the property.
Here are a few of the top restaurants and dining places at Mandalay Bay:
- Rivea focuses on simple, fresh plates and a laid-back environment.
- A distinctly Russian atmosphere awaits guests at the Red Square. Vodka anyone?
- The restyled Veranda at Four Seasons offers a relaxing dining experience of authentic Italian specialties.
- Historic farmhouse meets urban kitchen for breakfast and lunch at Della's Kitchen.
Here's what's on tap at some of the eight bars and lounges at Mandalay Bay:
- Whether it's the House of Blues or the Rhythm & Riffs lounge, here's the perfect spot to catch a variety of live music with your favorite beverage.
- Eyecandy Sound Lounge invites guests in for a casual social scene and a hand-crafted cocktail.
- Press is a sophisticated indoor/outdoor space at the Four Seasons.
It's getting more difficult to get complimentary drinks at high-priced resorts on the Strip. Expect to pay as much as $20 for a cocktail at one of these venues.
- Mandalay Bay Hotel
The tropical-themed property, which opened in March 1999, has more than 3,300 rooms, an 11-acre pool area and a saltwater aquarium. The dominant gold coloring of the Mandalay Bay hotel is a result of gold leaf used on the windows.
- The luxury penthouse suites (floors 40-42) and Four Seasons hotel (floors 35-39) occupy the top eight floors of the main building.
- The resort's second tower — Delano Las Vegas — is 45 storeys tall with 1,117 suites.
- Rooms in the main Mandalay Bay hotel start at about $160 a night for the 550-square-foot resort king and go up from there depending on the view and number of beds.
- Suites start at about $210 a night for the elite king and soar to $330 a night for the one-bedroom penthouse skyview suite.
- Expect to pay an extra $42 per night resort fee, including taxes, at checkout.
Mandalay Bay Casino
The 135,000-square-foot casino floor at Mandalay Bay has over 1,200 slot and video poker machines to choose from, including your favorite names.
There might not be another casino in the entire Las Vegas area that has as much room between the slots and table games as this resort. It's quite comfortable to move around here with about a dozen restaurants and the House of Blues surrounding the main gaming area.
The minimums at table games will be as low as $10 on a slow night during the week but expect the betting minimum to climb as the place fills up. Some of the games available to play include:
- Blackjack, with some paying 3-2 odds on a 21, but with $25 minimum bet.
- Roulette, with some wheels containing two sets of zeroes and another with a house-favoring three zeroes.
- Craps, start at $10 minimum with standard rules.
- Baccarat, very few tables are available to play.
Other table games spotted on the casino floor include Fortune Pai Gow Poker, Ultimate Texas Hold'em, High Card Flush, and Three Card Poker.
There is also a high limit room, including a bar, for table games and slots. Table minimums start at $100 or $200 depending on the traffic, while the limit in the slots tops out at $100 a pull.
Complimentary drink service is offered to those playing the machines or table games. It's best to tip for that courtesy if you want to be offered another one.

To quote Will Rogers "Everything is changing. People are taking their comedians seriously and the politicians as a joke." Unfortunately for us in the real world it looks as though his humorous quote is closer to reality than even Will Rogers would've thought possible. We now live in a world where a large percentage, especially of young Americans, are getting their news sources from Comedy Central as opposed to the mainstream media. We could debate for days the merits for or against this trend, however, numbers are what they are.
Political Event Planning Is a Nail biting Profession
Event planning in general can be a daunting task. The event planner has to make sure that every aspect of their program is being addressed. And event planners have to rely on suppliers (often they don't even have a working relationship with them) to get their job done. Anyone who's had to rely on the efforts of a third party to help them do their job knows how frustrating this process can be. If you're an event planner and your industry is politics then event planning can be a nightmare. Political event planners, or campaign managers, have to make sure that their candidate (which is really their event) is well-versed in a number of areas. Third-party suppliers aren't necessarily the nightmare for political event planning. Rather it's the exposure itself that can take a campaign, or event, off its rails.
Just the other day I was watching the news where Republican presidential candidate, Herman Cain, was conducting an editorial interview with the Milwaukee-Wisconsin Journal Sentinel. The interviewer was asking Mr. Cain whether or not he agreed with Pres. Obama's policy on Libya. A typical question on foreign-policy and certainly one that a presidential candidate should be well versed on. Well let's just say that Mr. Cain had a Sarah Palin moment. After stumbling and a few long silent pauses Mr. Cain started rambling thoughts that were obviously in his head at the time. As a viewer I felt uncomfortable for him. But then I started thinking of how his campaign staff were reacting off camera. Pretty safe to say there was a lot of scrambling going on. Oh and we all know what happened to Sarah Palin's political career don't we.
Click here to see CBS Evening News report: "Cain stumbles on Libya question".
I'm sure that Herman Cain is an intelligent man. He comes from a successful business background by building is very successful pizza franchise chain, Godfather Pizza. And I'm sure his handlers have versed him in foreign affairs policies and that helped frame, what should be, his position on those foreign policies. His staff did say that he's been keeping a very hectic schedule and functioning on four hours sleep a night. That does sound tough however we want our president to be able to handle that kind of pressure.
The moral of the story from an event planning angle is that planners have to prepare for all kinds of scenarios. As was the case with Herman Cain's brain freeze, event planners have to make sure that all areas of their event are covered. As we've mentioned here in the past event planning checklists or event planning templates are must for planners. I'm hoping that Mr. Cain's event planners, or campaign staff, are having a little bit of a regroup session this week and trying to determine what the heck is going on with their event (a.k.a. campaign for president). For more updates on this story tune into Comedy Central's the "Daily Show with Jon Stewart". Sorry mainstream media…

Christmas is often the season of conspicuous consumption, but you can celebrate the season without trashing the planet. The Ethical Consumer Guide has a roundup on how to plan a more ethical approach to Christmas — a useful addition to our 12 days of perfect Christmas planning if you're so inclined.
The guide covers planning your meal, gifts and decorations, and includes lots of local supplier details to help you hunt down unusual items. There's a reminder that the traditional Aussie seafood Christmas often involves at-risk species:
Avoid the following seafood and fish species. Orange Roughy, Tuna, Blue Grenadier, Atlantic Salmon, Striped Marlin, Toothfish, Swordfish, Hake, Oreodory, Skates and rays, Prawns, Sharks.
Yep, prawns are considered a damaging foodstuff by Greenpeace because of the way that they are caught. Hit the link below for the full guide.
While you're in a helping the world mood, consider donating any old unused mobile phones through the MobileMuster program. For every two phones donated until the end of January, the scheme will purchase a duck for a family in Mozambique. There are lots of options for phone recycling, but this is a nice seasonal twist.

More petrol power
Mazda has aimed to address one of the few complaints about its much-lauded CX-5 by adding a larger engine to its all-wheel-drive petrol variants.
The mid-sized SUV is now kitted out with a 2.5-litre Skyactiv-G four-cylinder powerplant, the same engine found in the Mazda6, and in good news for buyers it will only cost $500 more than the outgoing model.
Though the CX-5 received many end-of-year accolades in 2012, one of the few gripes was with the 2.0-litre petrol engine, which many felt was decidedly lacking in the power department.
The new 2.5-litre unit offers the all-wheel-drive 138kW of power and 250Nm of torque - an upgrade of 25kW and 52Nm that puts it among the best in the mid-sized SUV class.
The 2.0-litre petrol has been tweaked for better acceleration and response, and will remain in the front-wheel-drive version.
Mazda Australia managing director Doug Dickson said while the CX-5 had exceeded expectations since its release roughly a year ago, the company had to be proactive in making positive changes with new models from competitors such as the Toyota RAV4 and Honda CR-V hitting the market.
"There's no question the CX-5 did very well last year, but we're under no illusion it had the kind of competition it will have this year," he said.
The new powerplant does address most of the issues of its all-wheel-drive petrol predecessor.
Paired only with a six-speed automatic transmission with manual mode, it can admittedly start to gasp while one's foot is on the floor attempting to maintain speed on long, climbing hills and the automatic can get a bit lost in selecting the correct gear and knowing when to shift.
Some drivers may be tempted to switch into manual mode to have better control over gear selection in these moments, and if they do they will find little to complain about.
But in the type of urban driving most will use the CX-5 for, the new engine provides more than enough power. Even with the air-conditioning going and multiple passengers, the driver never feels they're looking for extra oomph that isn't there, be it on modest inclines or needing to accelerate to overtake.
The increase in power has also resulted in an increase in fuel consumption, with the new engine drinking 7.4L/100km compared to the older engine's 6.9/100km.
However, it could be said the previous model required such exaggerated revving to move it that the new engine could see a dip in on-road consumption.
To further stand out from the latest SUVs on the market, Mazda has also created a new top-spec level for the SUV.
The Akera range sees blind-spot monitoring, a high-beam control system and lane departure warning added to the previously top-spec Grand Tourer.
Akera models will be available only in all-wheel-drive variants, including the existing 2.2-litre diesel, which will cost $48,620.
MAZDA CX-5 AWD *Engine: 2.5-litre four-cylinder Skyactiv-G petrol
Outputs: 138kW/250Nm
Transmission: Six-speed automatic
Thirst: 7.4L/100km

NEW YORK (AP) — Authorities say a police officer assigned to New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio's security detail was shot with a pellet gun in front of the mayor's home.
It happened at Gracie Mansion, the mayor's official residence in Manhattan, around 7:15 p.m. Sunday.
A police spokesman says the officer was exiting an unmarked police vehicle when she "felt pain in the lower back."
Investigators believe she was shot with a pellet gun. She was taken to the hospital for treatment and released.
Police say the mayor was not home at the time.
An 18-year-old boy and a 17-year-old girl were taken into custody for questioning. No charges have been filed.
Police say several windows in the neighborhood also have been damaged by pellet gun fire recently.

British Dance Edition 2012 is on next weekend and I am so excited because as from Thursday I am now working on it. YAASSSSSS!! So excited! When I heard it was going to be in London I had set myself a goal to be involved but then realised that there was no way as I didn't have enough experience/expertise to apply for any of the jobs going so I am just ecstatic to be brought in as an assistant to the festival aka the amazing Kate Scanlan and Francesca Moseley.
It is going to be amazing but really hectic. There are 300 delegates and about 50+ companies involved. I have had to hang up all my other alias' shoes for the week and replace them with BDE shoes. I don't mind much.
It is weird when you get gigs like this because they are already in full swing and you are brought in right at the end to help carry them through. I am trying to swot as much as I can but when the weekend comes I will probably have to blag my way through and look like I know what is going on- hopefully I will by then- fingers crossed.....
I am looking forward to meeting everyone involved and seeing some of the shows although to be honest I am not sure if I will get to see any of them as I am not sure what I will be doing or need to be doing. I really want to see Candoco on the main stage at Sadler's and I am dying to see Hofesh's new show...... you know what- All my faves are playing- Charles Linehan, Lost Dog, NIgel Charnock...... I want to see them all.... I will let you know how I get on.

End Stage Diabetic Nephropathy is one serious condition, because it is more likely to trigger some dangerous complications. Although only depending on a proper diet can bring limited benefits for these patients, a wrong diet plan may destroy the whole treatment plan. Thereby, it is necessary to follow a proper diet for these patients.
No matter which stage Diabetic Nephropathy is, maintaining blood glucose is always one important thing. To prevent blood glucose level from increasing, patients should limit their sugar intake. In serious cases, they should follow a sugar-free diet. Then, they should avoid candy, ice cream, sweat snacks, and so on.
When diabetic nephropathy progresses into end stage, patients may also have high blood pressure and swelling. High blood pressure is one factor to affect patients' prognosis and life quality. To manage these two problems, patients should limit their sodium intake. The 2010 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee report recommends these patients to limit their sodium intake to 1,500mg every day.
Protein is essential to build and repair body tissues, but extra intake of protein will increase the burden on kidneys. Then, it is necessary for patients with end stage diabetic nephropathy to eat correct amount of protein. Their daily intake of protein should be 0.36~0.45g/kg body weight.
Potassium and phosphorus
At ESRD, kidneys are unable to remove extra phosphorus and potassium efficiently. Then, high potassium level may cause irregular heartbeat, muscle cramps, and some other problems, while high phosphorus level may induce skin itching, bone disease, and so on. From this point, patients should control their intake of potassium and phosphorus tightly.
The above are general suggestions for patients with end stage diabetic nephropathy. To get an individual diet plan, you can leave a message below or email to firstname.lastname@example.com.

Loonie rallies with oil deal
USDCAD Open (6:30 am) 1.3098-03 Overnight Range 1.3050-1.3113 29 Sept 16
NOTE: This chart represents gain (or loss) of G10 currencies vs the US dollar from NY close (4:00 pm) to Sept. 29, 6:30 am EDT
The news that Opec had agreed to a production cut deal which was announced yesterday afternoon set the tone for FX markets overnight. It wasn't a full-blown "risk-on" environment but riskier assets were in demand. USDJPY was the big mover overnight, rallying from 100.65 to 101.74 with the Nikkei gaining 1.39%. It is half year end in Japan (Sep. 30) which may have had an impact. AUDUSD and NZDUSD climbed in Asia but retreated in Europe. Both currency pairs are below their overnight opening levels with Kiwi impacted by the doveish central bank outlook.
The dollar selling enthusiasm evident in Asia went missing in Europe. EURUSD GBPUSD and USDJPY all declined. Eurozone Economic Sentiment data improved but had little impact on FX trading due to the overhang from Brexit.
USDCAD rebounded from yesterday's 1.3048 low, rising steadily during the Asia session due to a mix of profit-taking and general negative sentiment surrounding the Canadian economy. In addition, the details of the Opec production cap agreement are sketchy and the reality is that the so call agreement is merely a promise to study and evaluate the idea prior to the Opec general meeting on November 30. USDCAD movements will be driven by WTI price swings.
US data releases include Q2 GDP, Jobless claims, pending home sales and PCE. There is another speech from Janet Yellen which will most likely echo yesterday's remarks. Yesterday she said that "there was no fixed timetable" on a rate increase.
USDCAD technical outlook.
The intraday usdcad technicals are bearish while trading below 1.3110 and supported by the break below 1.3150 which suggests another test of support at 1.3040 and then the 1.2990-1.3010 pivot area. A break below 1.2990 suggests further losses to 1.2850. A move above 1.3120 should extend gains to 1.3150. For today, USDCAD support is at 1.3040 and 1.3000. Resistance is at 1.3120 and 1.3160.
Today's Range 1.3020-1.3120

The Cincinnati Bengals announced Thursday that they've re-signed veteran K Randy Bullock.
NEWS: #Bengals re-sign K Randy Bullock pic.twitter.com/gDc93zzcwW
— Cincinnati Bengals (@Bengals) January 26, 2017
Bullock, 27, is a former fifth-round pick of the Texans back in 2012. He spent three years in Houston before signing on with the Jets in November of last year.
The Giants signed him to a contract coming out of the preseason while Josh Brown served his one-game suspension. New York later released him upon activating Brown and it wasn't until November that the Steelers signed him to a contract.
The Bengals later claimed Bullock off of waivers from the Steelers and waived K Mike Nugent.
In 2016, Bullock appeared in five games and converted eight of nine field goal attempts (88.9 percent) to go along with nine of ten extra points tries and 14 touchbacks.

AccorHotels' senior vice president for talent & culture across Middle East & Africa Rachel Moosa, who has been with company for nearly 17 years, sat down with Hotelier Middle East to share essential tips for fresh hospitality school graduates on how to successfully get through what are often nerve-wracking job interviews.
1. Have a great attitude
Moosa says it's always a good first impression when a candidate comes to an interview with a positive attitude as it sets the tone. "Wake up, have a smile on your face," Moosa believes.
2. Be punctual for the interview
To add to the previous tip, Mossa says it's important that the candidate arrives on time for the interview which reflects the candidate's interest for the job.
3. Know the hotel
"They need to have done some research about the property and the company, know who the manager is, and see what promotions have taken place in the past," explains Moosa.
4. Be open-minded
Moosa says it's always helpful when a candidate is ready to understand the various job roles within the hotel he or she might have to undertake in different circumstances and needs to be open-minded for that.
5. Ask questions at the end of the interview
Moosa says this is one of the things that's vital to end the interview on the right tone. "When they ask no questions, it shows that they're not really engaged," she points out.
According to Moosa, some of the questions that candidates should not hesitate to ask at the end of the interview include: Tell me more about your graduate training programme; how do I grow to become a general manager someday; what are some of the plans for Accor in the future; and can you tell me about some of the alumni who have gone onto senior positions.
"Anything that shows interest is great," asserts Moosa.

Cardinals hire Panthers D-coordinator Steve Wilks as head coach
Mon., Jan. 22, 2018
PHOENIX – Steve Wilks is the new head coach of the Arizona Cardinals, and chances are he won't tread meekly into his new job.
"Steve's personality is as an aggressive guy," his ex-boss, Carolina Panthers head coach Ron Rivera, said.
Wilks, 48, spent last season as defensive coordinator of the Panthers after five seasons as the team's secondary coach. He's been an NFL assistant for 12 years.
Wilks replaces the colorful and outspoken Bruce Arians, who retired after five seasons and compiled a franchise-record 50 victories.
With the hiring of Wilks, all three major football programs in the state have African-American coaches – Wilks, Herm Edwards at Arizona State and Kevin Sumlin at Arizona. Wilks is the Cardinals' second African-American coach (Dennis Green was the first) and the only minority candidate to get an NFL head coaching job this hiring cycle.
The Cardinals were 8-8 last season despite a myriad of significant injuries and closed out Arians' career with a win in Seattle.
"This is not really a rebuild, this is a retool," Wilks told azcardinals.com. "We have the culture of winning here. We just have to be able to sustain it. It's all about trying to get to the next level and the consistency you need to get to the next level."
Patrick Peterson, perennial Pro Bowl cornerback and a leader of the Arizona defense, tweeted simply "I LOVE IT."
Azcardinals.com released a brief video of Wilks talking to Arizona fans.
"I'd like to introduce myself to the `Bird Gang,"' he said. "This is your head coach Steve Wilks. I'm so excited about building something great here. It's all about trying to create a commitment to excellence and I can't wait to see you guys at the Red Sea."
Wilks was in Arizona for a second interview last week and was interviewed for the Tennessee job, which went to Mike Vrabel. Wilks also coached for 11 years at the collegiate level, including a one-year stint as head coach at Savannah State in 1999.
The Cardinals planned to introduce Wilks as coach at a news conference Tuesday at team headquarters.
Wilks played defensive back at Appalachian State, attended the Seattle Seahawks training camp and played for the Charlotte Rage of the Arena Football League.
He worked his way up through the college assistant coaching ranks with stops at Johnson C. Smith in Charlotte, Savannah State, Illinois State, Appalachian State, East Tennessee State, Bowling Green, Notre Dame and Washington.
Wilks' first NFL job was as defensive backs coach of the Chicago Bears. He held a similar job with the San Diego Chargers for three seasons before joining the Panthers staff.
Under Wilks this season, the Panthers ranked seventh in total defense.
Speaking about Wilks last week, his Charlotte players were supportive.
"I think he gets guys to relate to him, get on the same page, get on the same scheme," defensive end Charles Johnson said. "He comes to work every day and guys respect that. Just his whole personality. His mentality of getting guys to play how you want to play. He's a good coach for that."
In an interview last fall, linebacker Luke Kuechly said, "Steve Wilks and all those guys are doing an excellent job of game-planning and putting us in position to be successful and utilizing what we do well. Those coaches listen (to the players).
"They're not hard-headed. They do a great job with us. They motivate us. They do a good job of making sideline corrections and in-game adjustments. It's fun to play for them."
The Cardinals were the last team to fill a coaching vacancy, just as they were in 2013 when they hired Arians, who won his second NFL coach of the year award in his second season with the team.
Last week, Rivera talked about Wilks' coaching potential.
"I know that Steve is a hot commodity, deservedly so," Rivera said. `He has done a tremendous job wherever he's been, starting in Chicago and San Diego and down here with us. It's going to be a tough one. Him and Sean (McDermott) are two very good people who are very special to this organization."
Wilks replaced McDermott as Carolina defensive coordinator when McDermott was named head coach at Buffalo a year ago.
The Cardinals have a head coach with a background in defense for the first time since Dave McGinnis was hired 17 years ago. Wilks' first task probably is to hire an offensive coordinator, a move that's particularly important because the retirement of Carson Palmer left Arizona with no quarterback.
And general manager Steve Keim is turning his attention full-time to finding that elusive quarterback, through a trade, free agency, the draft or any combination of the three.

SINGAPORE (Reuters) - Oil prices rose on Tuesday after Libya declared force majeure on two major oilfields following a military blockade and protests escalated in Iraq, raising supply concerns.
Brent crude (LCOc1) was trading up 11 cents, or 0.2%, at $65.31 per barrel by 0101 GMT. U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude futures (CLc1) were up 20 cents, or 0.3%, at $58.74 a barrel.
"Rising disruptions in ... Libya are likely to keep oil prices well supported in coming days," analysts from Australia and New Zealand Banking Group said in a note on Tuesday.
Two major oilfields in southwest Libya began shutting down on Sunday after forces loyal to Khalifa Haftar closed a pipeline, potentially reducing national output to a fraction of its normal level, the country's National Oil Corp (NOC) said.
A document sent to oil traders and seen by Reuters on Monday said the NOC had declared force majeure - a waiver on contractual obligations - on crude loadings from the Sharara and El Feel oilfields in Libya's southwest.
If Libyan exports are halted for any sustained period, storage tanks will fill within days and production will slow to 72,000 barrels per day (bpd), an NOC spokesman said. Libya has been producing around 1.2 million bpd recently.
Anti-government unrest in Iraq, another major oil producer, also supported oil prices, although officials have said production in southern oilfields has not been affected by the unrest.
Any supply disruptions could be offset by increased output from the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), which could limit the impact on global oil markets, the head of Japan's petroleum industry body said.
Also adding to supply, Guyana exported its first-ever shipment of crude on Monday, marking the tiny South American nation's debut as an oil exporter.
Meanwhile, Bank of America (NYSE:BAC) Global Research raised its 2020 oil price forecasts on Monday, citing risks to supply from the Middle East, an improving demand outlook and higher OPEC+ compliance to deepen output cuts.
The bank expects global demand to grow by 1.1 million barrels per day during this year, while its supply and demand outlook suggested a surplus of 190,000 barrels per day.Original Article

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, there were approximately 8.6 million STEM jobs in May 2015, with the highest jobs in software development, user support, and systems analysts. Despite the high number of jobs, the lack of skilled workers in the labor force allow these positions to go unfilled. To make matters worse, the existing STEM workforce lacks diversity among women and minorities, not representing the emerging workforce of women and underrepresented groups.

Gee, racist, White supremacist, sexually confused, mentally damaged Hapa males – where have we seen that before?
Archive here.
She appears on /r/the_donald, one of the most racist, hated subs on Reddit.
She freely uses the term cucks.
Here's her defense in /r/Singapore. Asian women are the only group of women who somehow manage to mix white supremacist redpill HBD talk with feminism. It's insane.
Here's her son:
5 thoughts on "Xiaxue, mother to an Asian looking Asian boy, officially endorse Trump in front of one of the most racist subs on Reddit, /r/the_donald"
Dear EurasianTiger/EurasianWriter,
Please consider using this video in your upcoming work:
Kind regards,
It's quite possible that she sells her body to dumb toothless rednecks. It might be their sole source of income
big problem is she is like 5 feet tall and her hubby is not much taller.. their kid is likely 5'4-5'6, giving him much lower SMV than an average height dude. This is like half the issue with Asian guys' attractiveness. You could focus on that, e.g., encouraging people to consider the height of their kids (or encouraging hapa guys to work out more to maximize their potential), but as far as I can see, you don't because you don't care about providing practical help to anyone…
She's a crazy self-hating Asian woman. She even accused her YT husband for not having strong genes enough to make their son look more white. I've always knew that there was something wrong with her before she became big on social media.
Typical dumb Asian females who don't understand biology/genetics
Asian females have POVERTY genetics.
Anything else (white female or black female is better in producing strong, robust looking sons…ON AVERAGE
(This is why 100% Asian males look the way they do – b/c of Asian females poverty genetics – which has a higher input weighting of contribution to the gene pool)
NEVER, EVER mate with an Asian female (whomever you are).
If you care about how your sons will look!
Asian female + white man, if they have a SON…he's fucked.
B/c he will look near fully 100% Asian when he grows up.
That's b/c the poverty Asian females genes will dominate.
Typical Asian female genes: short, small boned, small frame (not robust), dweeby neotenous face (not robust or good traits for males/sons), no brow ridge, chinky eyes
Doesn't even matter what the white man looks like.
Wil still inherit traits more from his Asian mother's side.
He's fucked physically.
And mentally he's even more fucked.
The son won't be able to use the white privilge card while looking like a Asian.

For children and adults with special needs, receiving the care necessary to keep smiles healthy and strong may be difficult. However, your Galveston, TX, dentist understands, and we're ready to help those with special needs obtain the care needed to protect their smiles for years to come. What should patients and their families expect from our approach to special needs dentistry?
Preventing Cavities With Dental Sealants
A number of factors could limit your child's risk of cavities, such as healthy diets and fewer sugary foods and drinks. However, some children may be susceptible to cavities even if they brush, floss, and enjoy healthy snack choices. To limit the risk of decay, we may offer children in Galveston, TX, dental sealants. How does this acrylic coating prevent cavities?
Tips For Healthy Summer Smiles
Summer time means your kids will be home from school and freed from their school-related obligations. However, with this new free time comes the risk of neglecting their routines, routines that could include regular brushing and flossing. In today's blog, we're talking about what parents in Galveston, TX, can do to help their children maintain healthy summer smiles.
When Does A Child Need A Dental Crown?
In our previous blog, we took a look at how we repaired cavities with a dental filling. But sometimes, our Galveston, TX, patients will need more than just a filling. If a more substantial repair is needed then we may create and place a custom-made dental crown. When does a child require one, and how do we create and place these strong and durable restorations?
Treating Childhood Cavities With Fillings
No one enjoys a toothache, and for kids and grown-ups alike, toothaches often mean the presence of a cavity. Treating dental cavities means a dental restoration, such as a filling, which helps protect the tooth from infection or even premature tooth loss. In today's blog, we're going to talk about how we protect smiles in Galveston, TX, with dental fillings.
How Does Fluoride Protect Little Smiles?
Along with brushing and flossing, and checkups and cleanings, your Galveston, TX dentist may suggest preventive treatments to help improve the appearance and health of the smile. With fluoride, we have a means of strengthening your children's natural defenses against tooth decay. But how does fluoride protect little smiles?
Do You Have Questions About Dental Sealants?
We offer a few options to help children enjoy healthy smiles free of tooth decay, such as dental cleanings and even fluoride treatments. However, we have another option designed to help prevent cavities in Galveston, TX, smiles. In today's blog, let's talk about how dental sealants prevent tooth decay and protect smiles for years at a time.
Prevent Gum Disease With A Scaling And Root Planing
Gum disease isn't just an issue that threatens smiles in adulthood. In fact, children may also be susceptible to gingivitis and periodontal disease, which threatens their oral health. Without treatment, the disease could cause discomfort and an increased risk of tooth loss. In order to prevent gum disease in Galveston, TX, we may suggest a deep cleaning, also known as a scaling and root planing.
The Benefits Of Checkups And Cleanings For Kids
Your dentist has probably told you several times to undergo a checkup and cleaning every six months. But what about kids? When should children have their teeth examined and cleaned?

FilmLA announced on Wednesday that feature film production in the Los Angeles area increased by 11 percent in the second quarter of 2018. It's the second straight quarter that film production has increased in L.A., thanks to a mix of movies with plots set in California and blockbusters that have been pulled from other states thanks to California's tax incentive program.
Among the films that have been shooting in L.A. over the past quarter is Quentin Tarantino's next film, "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood." The project had a plot-specific need to film in Hollywood, as the film takes place in 1968 Tinseltown on the eve of Sharon Tate's infamous murder at the hands of Charles Manson's cult.

Meanwhile, Paramount and Marvel Studios are filming two major blockbusters, "Bumblebee" and "Captain Marvel," in California. Like "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood," "Bumblebee" takes place along the Pacific Coast and shows the origins of one of Optimus Prime's right-hand bots.
"Captain Marvel," meanwhile, has completed a production schedule that has been spread throughout the Golden State. Along with Los Angeles, reports have surfaced of filming for the Brie Larson superhero film in the Bay Area, Shaver Lake and Ventura County. It's a notable shift for Marvel Studios, which has filmed its last 11 films primarily at Pinewood Studios in London and Georgia. The last Marvel film shot in California was "Captain America: The Winter Soldier," which was released in 2014.

However last year, Marvel received a $20 million tax incentive to shoot "Captain Marvel" in California, thanks to a revision in the state's film and TV tax incentive that allows blockbusters with budgets of over $75 million to apply for the program. Under the program, major movies can receive up to a 20 percent tax credit for the first $100 million in a title's qualified expenditures. Movies that shoot outside the L.A. area are eligible to receive additional credits.
According to FilmLA, 11 percent of the 1,184 shooting days logged for feature films in Q2 came from projects brought to Los Angeles by the state tax incentives.

Admittedly, as a simpleton myself, I can only present simplistic arguments against the all-encompassing, truly revolutionary ideology of the American right.
They know there are known unknowns that I don't know about; and I know I don't know about them. Nolo contendre.
Anyway, when one does at least realize that nothing – not credit card wars, not torture, not tax policy, not social welfare policy, not massive fraud in the financial and mortgage markets, not massive (and up to now, largely unreported) deficits in state treasuries, not historic rot in the nation's public infrastructure (no high speed rail in the US!), not a high school dropout rate at 30 or 40 percent (possibly higher), not a jobless rate at 10 percent (probably more than double that in real terms, and climbing) - nothing, not even a mild rebuke from one of their golden boys, David Brooks, will dissuade those representing the right from their catastrophically appointed rounds – well what can a poor boy do?
Yet, there is perversity in this I think, real perversity in a moral sense, if one cares to look rather casually at the "tip of the spear," where it seems the same ideology has appeared "in the heat of battle."
Here is a tiny snippet which might show, in moral terms, what such hubris means to people we don't even know. Out there. Over the horizon. Out of sight and out of mind, well beyond the picket fences guarding our little castles in the shining city on a hill.
Oh never mind, children. Nothing can be done, nothing can be corrected, no lives can be saved – anywhere in the world – until American tax policy is settled, to the satisfaction of the anointed ones in our midst.

…with a Chinese-flavored glaze.
Char Siu is a popular Chinese Barbecue dish. It's made with the most tender part of the pork, the lender. Since I absolutely love everything that is Asian (well, I love all types of international dishes without discriminating), we decided to recreate one of our most favorite take-out dishes. I find Char Siu to be best combined with a delicious and simple bowl of noodle. One that does not overpower the taste of the Char Siu. When it comes to anything Asian related, Fabian is my chef. He has this amazing interest in Asian dishes, but also a keen palette to create incredibly tasty Asian dishes. So, this Char Siu recipe is all his doing!
I don't know about you ladies out there, but I love when Fabian cooks, and it has nothing to do with his cooking skills. He has this thing that every time he cooks, he taste his food in between and does a happy dance and happy sounds. He almost thinks he's some judge on MasterChef judging his own food. Is this a thing all men do? But, whenever something goes wrong he gets seriously mad, to the point of giving up. Then I start laughing and he gets even madder.
So when he started creating his Char Siu recipe, playing with the spices, and marinating the meat, he kept coming into my office and telling me how delicious it's going to be. I kept hearing him say: "Hmmmmm, hmmmm, hmmmmm! Oh, this is going to be good!" Can you imagine hearing a man repeating this like 50 times in one night? But, it didn't stop there. The next day he had to roast the meat. I swear I saw him drool in front of the oven. Not kidding!
Joke aside, that's what I love about him. He truly enjoys the process of cooking and savors every moment and every taste. He's emotionally invested in whatever he's making at that moment and that's what cooking should be about. The love for preparing something for yourself or somebody else. I love preparing unique dishes for my guests. Dishes I know they will love because nothing fills me with more joy than seeing them happy because of something I did.
This blog is dedicated to that process, to that emotion. I bring into your home unique recipes that you only had when dining out or might have never heard of in the first place. I give you the opportunity to make them in the comfort on your own home and share it with the people you love the most.
Can you believe a "simple" Char Siu recipe can do all that? I can!
Char Siu is a popular Chinese Barbecue dish. It's made with the most tender part of the pork, the lender, and roasted with flavorful glaze.
- 1 kg pork tenderloin in two pieces
- 2 cloves of garlic finely grated
- 1 inch (2 cm) knob of ginger peeled and finely grated
- 3 tbsp hoisin sauce
- 1 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1/2 tbsp dark soy sauce
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 2 tsp sesame oil
- 2 tbsp light brown sugar
- 4 tbsp runny honey
- 1 tsp Chinese five spice powder
- 2 tbsp runny honey + extra for the glaze
- 1 tbsp of brown sugar
- Large ziplock freezer bag
- Large baking pan
- Brush
- Saucepan
- Place the pork tenderloin pieces in a large ziplock freezer bag.
For the marinade finely grate the garlic and ginger and add all the ingredients for the marinade into a mixing bowl and mix well. Add the marinade to the pork tenderloin in the ziplock freezer bag and make sure the pork is coated on all sides. Refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours, or preferably overnight.
Before roasting the pork, let it come to room temperature in the marinade. This will take approximately 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) (without fan).
Half fill the large baking pan with boiling water but make sure that the pork does not touch the water. This will help tenderize the meat.
Remove the meat from the ziplock freezer back and put the marinade aside to use later. Place the pork tenderloin into the large baking pan and roast for 30 minutes in the oven, baste the pork every 10 minutes with the marinade.
In the meantime, put the marinade into a saucepan and add the two tbsp of honey and one tbsp of brown sugar. Let the sauce boil first and let it then simmer for a few minutes. Make sure the sauce is thick like syrup. Baste the pork every 10 minutes with the sauce using a brush.
Turn the oven to grill mode on high heat after the 30 minutes have passed and place the baking pan as high as possible in the oven.
Every 3 minutes baste with a brush and make sure the pork tenderloin is browning and not burning.
When the pork tenderloin has caramelized, remove the baking pan from the oven and let the pork rest before slicing. This will take about 10 minutes.
- Cut the pork into pieces and serve with the sauce poured on top of it.

How to Get Rid of The Dreaded Toilet Bowl Ring
It's not the most elegant question I get, but certainly one of the most common. "I've tried everything I can think of, but that stubborn, ugly toilet bowl ring won't go away!" Or " … It goes away, but just keeps coming back!"
Toilet bowls develop discolorations for many reasons that have nothing to do with the quality of the housekeeping. Basically, the dreaded toilet bowel ring is the result of hard water conditions together with water standing in a toilet that sees a lot of use.
While there are lots of commercial products out there that promise to remove hard water stains in the toilet, ordinary household pantry items you have already can be just as effective to rid your toilet of the dreaded toilet bowl ring without harsh chemicals.
What are those stains, anyway?
Toilet bowl stains that look like rust are likely due to mineral deposits and hard water. Green, orange or black streaks or rings may be mold. A bacteria called Serratia marcescens shows up as pink. Knowing what is causing the ring makes it easier for you to choose the best method for getting rid of it.
Under most conditions, regular weekly cleaning prevents heavy stain buildup and reduces the appearance of any existing stains so the bowl can look pristine and white again.
And when none of that works? Don't worry, I have the mother of all solutions for that too, in a bit. But let's start with the easiest.
- Make sure you protect your hands with rubber gloves.
- Never mix bleach with anything other than water, because doing so can cause dangerous chemical reactions.
Baking soda and vinegar
These two common, non-toxic and harmless edible items when used together strategically, are powerful to clean things, including hard water stains in the toilet.
- Pour 1 cup of ordinary white vinegar into the toilet bowl. Using a toilet brush, swish it around. Let it sit for a minute or so.
- Sprinkle a cup of baking soda into the toilet bowl followed by 2 more cups of vinegar. Get ready as this is going to create a fizzing action. Leave it be for about 10 minutes.
- Using the toilet brush, swish some more because you want to make sure this solution reaches stains above the water line and under the rim. Still, do not flush.
- Let the solution sit for 30 minutes, swishing occasionally until the stains are gone. For any stain that remains, scrub it with the toilet brush or scrubby sponge. Flush the toilet to rinse.
Borax and vinegar
Borax is stronger, yet common, household multi-purpose cleaning product can be used to clean hard water stains in the toilet.
- Sprinkle 1/4 cup of borax into the toilet bowl and swish it around with a toilet brush.
- Add 1 cup of vinegar, swish around again, and let the mixture sit in the bowl for about 20 minutes.
- Finish by scrubbing the bowl with a toilet brush to remove the stains. Flush to rinse.
- Carefully pour 1 cup of liquid chlorine bleach into the toilet bowl. Let it sit for 30 minutes if you are trying to get rid of mold or bacteria. Do not use cleaners containing bleach because, believe it or not, they can make this kind of stain permanent.
- Scrub the inside of the toilet thoroughly with a toilet brush. Make sure you get the space up under the rim.
- Flush the toilet to rinse away the bleach.
Some stains and toilet rings are so stubborn, they're beyond baking soda, borax, vinegar, or bleach. Sadly, they've become permanent. But I have a solution for even those stains, so dry your tears!
What follows is to be used only occasionally, and very carefully. Overuse, or using the wrong product, can damage the surface of the vitreous china, which that toilet bowl is made of. Careful use, infrequent use, however, is like magic!
I recommend Pumie Toilet Bowl Ring Remover. As pumice stones go, this one is soft and when used infrequently, will not harm the surface of the toilet bowl. Pumie comes with a handle that makes it easy to use.
Clean regularly
You do not need to use strong and costly chemicals to prevent hard water toilet stains. Borax, vinegar, and baking soda do a great job of cleaning and disinfecting. They will prevent hard water stains from building up when used regularly.
To help keep your toilet clean and free of hard water buildup, use 1/4 cup borax with every cleaning.

The New Alexander Wang Store (And the New Alexander Wang)
Published February 16, 2011
If there exists one quintessential face of fashion, one designer who sums up the current zeitgeist, it would have to be Alexander Wang. Starting his career ahead of the curve, the young (he's only 26), soft-spoken designer is now setting the curve. And while his shows pull the editorial elite and stars with edge wear his styles, Mr. Wang has finally, really become a true fashion force: he's got his own standalone store in Soho.
Wang looks comfortable in the open-air space, which was inspired in part by his own apartment. His relaxed nature is surprising: he just wrapped his Fall 2011 show and hosted his store opening, and he's heading to London for a Love Magazine party in several days. But, in the bright location, Wang seemed at home next to an overstuffed leather couch and a fur hammock. A large, walk-through cube stands at the front of the space, wrapped by massive garlands of baby's breath—lending a softness to the structured, white marble interior. The marble serves as a pedestal for Wang's accessories, which included bangles fresh from Saturday's show. He took the time to take Interview through the 3,500-square-foot space, designed by his friend Ryan Korban, where he pointed out his favorite flowers, special-edition leather and, of course, the strangeness of having a store with his name emblazoned on the front.
LEILA BRILLSON: Tell us how you were involved in the interior.
ALEXANDER WANG: I worked for a very long time with Ryan to develop the language of our showroom. I wanted this to feel like an extension of something that was very personal. But working on the store, of course, we brought in Robin Kramer (of Kramer Design) who was the design firm and architect, to help us realize the vision, to reinterpret elements and language we already had. We started with the iconic feel of this space—being a landmark building. We worked with the architecture, the open windows and the columns. We wanted to do something quite clean but monolithic, but really ground it with statement pieces like the big cage. The big cage serves as an area for showcasing exclusives or collaborations. There will always be some sort of activity in there.

I really wanted it to feel like people can come in and hang out or lounge around, to take the formality out of shopping. I wanted it to feel like my living room. We have some pieces in our showroom and my house that are covered in goat hair, so we took that idea and did the fur hammock. It's ironic and a little comical, to lighten up the mood! Or our interpretation of a tufted lawn chair, or a big, oversized stuffed couch. Everything in the store, from the fixtures to the brass, it's all custom. We really had control from A to Z.
BRILLSON: Are you saying you have a fur hammock in your house?
WANG: I don't have a fur hammock, but I do have a goat-fur-covered side chairs. I also have one huge chair in the showroom—but I wanted to take those ideas and push them into something specific for the store.
BRILLSON: Here's a lot of stoic, classic architecture, but mixed with organic touches, like flowers. Will you be changing the flowers? How important are they?
WANG: I love flowers; they are an important part of bringing life into the store. Jeff Leatham, who's the florist who did the first installation and all of the arrangements for us, is somebody I truly admire and respect. Taking things out of context is so under-appreciated, such as taking baby's breath and building a huge, structural piece with it. Or the black orchids he imported from Africa. I didn't know that! I learned something new. But it is so important to bring a sense of life into the space.
BRILLSON: You've had an incredible period of activity: the show, the opening, the hosting. What's next?
WANG: I'm flying to London on Sunday, and I'm doing a big party with Love and Liberty for London Fashion Week! It's a non-stop rollercoaster! I never complain, because it is always so exciting. When you are having fun, it goes like that! [snaps his fingers]
BRILLSON: How was the opening party you had here? Did you have a good time?
WANG: We had a party last night, and it was a really great time. We usually do huge after-parties in September, but we wanted an intimate party for friends and family only. We had Lauryn Hill perform for us here!
BRILLSON: How was she?
WANG: Amazing! She is such an icon! It was incredible to see her here and have her be a part of this experience.
BRILLSON: Can you tell me about the clothing layout?
WANG: Well, in the beginning, we are offering the exclusive jewelry we showed on the runway up front, which you can buy immediately. We also have exclusive leather that we did just for the store opening: jackets, separates, and vests. We also have some new colors of handbags we made just for the opening. In our studded group, we have a beautiful, new dove gray.

We are also launching small leather goods for fall, which you could have seen on the runway. All of the girls were carrying these small coin purses and wallets.
BRILLSON: As someone who has taken an "alternative" route to success, how does it feel to have a standalone store with your name on it?
WANG: It is amazing. I was sitting in here earlier, and I was really taken in by all the hard work done by my team and everyone I worked with on this final product. It feels like a really nice store, but I keep looking out the window, and it has my name! I've dreamt of this day for so long, and now it's finally here. And now I feel like I'm hanging out at someone else's store!
BRILLSON: Except with your name on it! But it seems already very settled and organic.
WANG: Right. We wanted something that felt very solid, grounded and permanent. For us, we always like to explore our language: when it's time for crazy after-parties, we'll do that. When it's time for something more intimate, we'll do that too. When it's time for pop-up shops, that's great. But this space—we wanted it to feel very timeless.
BRILLSON: So, what else are you focusing on?
WANG: We are launching men's ready-to-wear for Fall '11, which won us the GQ menswear award. We also have the small leather goods—that are just are two launches for fall.
BRILLSON: Those are still two very big projects.
WANG: Ha! Of course.
BRILLSON: What are you going to do tonight?
WANG: Relax. I just finished moving from the East Village to Tribeca, so I can't wait to unwind.
