Where to Stay?
Hotels cluster around Sultanahmet and Beyoglu,poles apart in ambience and amenities, so your choice depends on priorities. If you prefer views of the Blue Mosque, vicinity to historical monuments and Ottoman houses on cobbled streets, Sultanahmet is for you. Just bring earplugs for neighboring mosques' dawn call-to-prayer, be prepared for carpet touts and never-ending souvenir shops. If good restaurants and bars are important, head to Beyoglu, where Istiklal Caddesi buzzes all night. It's easier to travel to Sultanahmet during the day than to travel back there after a night out in Beyoglu.
How Much?
Prices listed are the rack rate for high season (roughly mid-March to late October), including breakfast and tax, often 10–20% less for winter months. Top hotels usually have good deals on their websites or through booking agencies, and can be quieter in August, with fewer business visitors. You can also try phoning the hotel directly to ask for any special rates, especially out of season. Hotels book up quickly and prices shoot up during !eker Bayram, the festival after Ramazan (see p 160) and major events—especially the Istanbul Grand Prix (see p 161).

Dog Coat Care Tips♫ Friday, May 7th, 2010
Giving your dog a shiny coat isn't just about beauty. A shiny coat is the result of your dog being healthy. And all dogowners want a healthy dog…right? So how do you keep your dog's coat healthy and handsome? Use these tips from the experts to keep your dogs' coat glowing — and growing.
Like humans, dogs are only as healthy as what they eat, says Michael Weiss, a veterinarian at All Creatures Veterinary Care Center in Sewell, N.J. Two things to look for in your dog's food:
Protein. If your dog lacks this vital nutrient, its body will dedicate protein to muscle first, leaving its fur and skin dry and dull. Make sure your dog's food is rich in protein.
Omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids. These essential building blocks keep your dog's coat healthy, thick and lustrous. They may also help reduce itching, dandruff and allergy-related skin problems. On the ingredients panel, look for fish oil, fish meal or flax, all excellent sources of omega-3 fatty acids.
Exercise not only keeps your dog slim, it may also help keep her fur in top condition. Weiss says regular exercise benefits your dog's overall health — and a healthy dog is more likely to have a healthy, shiny coat.
The fact is you can't keep your dog from shedding. But with a few key products and techniques, you can easily take great care of your dog's coat at home to keep it looking its best:
Brush at least once a week. In order to keep your dog's mane manageable, give the fur one good brush each week with a de-shedding brush to get out the undercoat, says New York City-based groomer Lisa Caputo from the dog service company Biscuits and Bath. Part the hair and brush from the skin out to avoid matting, moisture and heat build-up, which can cause yeast and bacteria. For an even slicker look, give your dog a quick brush every day.
Bathe with gentle shampoos and conditioners. If your dog has sensitive skin, try a hypoallergenic or oatmeal shampoo. Caputo recommends washing your pooch every four weeks.
Vet Visit
If you notice your dog has consistently itchy, uncomfortable skin or is shedding more than usual, your best bet is to take him to a veterinarian. "There isn't a one-size-fits-all solution, and each dog is different," says Weiss. "It could be something as small as a food allergy to a more serious problem, like ringworm."

Do you enjoy baking around the holidays? At this time of year, many people are cooking special seasonal treats for their friends and family members. If you have a dog, why not make Fido some holiday snacks of his own? Read on as a North Las Vegas, NV vet lists some homemade doggy treat recipes.
Man's Best Friend loves this yummy treat! Fido's meatloaf really isn't very different from one you might make yourself. Use minced meat, peas, carrots, parmesan cheese, eggs, and whole-wheat breadcrumbs. Bake at 350 for an hour.
Doggy Nog
To make Fido his own eggnog, mix plain yogurt with organic baby food. Be sure to choose a brand that does not contain garlic or onions. Add a little water or sodium-free broth to thin it out. Put a cute doggy biscuit on top for a finishing touch.
Pumpkin/PB Bites
Mix some pureed pumpkin with peanut butter, whole-wheat flour, and eggs. Flatten the batter out, and then use a cookie cutter to divide it into small portions. Bake at 350 for about a half hour. Instant tail wags!
Turkey Treats
Cook up some ground turkey, and mix it with some shredded cheese, parsley, and whole-wheat flour. You also add egg and/or spinach if you like. Divide it into individual meatballs, and cook at 375 for about 15 minutes. Just be sure to let them cool before giving them to your furry buddy.
Doggy Biscuits
Try mixing shredded meat with bacon grease, whole-wheat flour, wheat-germ oil, eggs, and shredded cheese. You can customize your canine pal's treats by adding bananas, peanut butter, bacon bits, or plain yogurt. Mix the batter, divide it into small portions, and cook at 375 for about 15 minutes.
Dried meats and fruits make great doggy treats! You can slice a sweet potato lengthwise, and dry in in the oven by cooking it on low heat for several hours. This also works with boneless chicken, beef, or salmon.
When cooking for your canine buddy, always choose ingredients that are safe for dogs. Some of the things to avoid are garlic and onions; chocolate; nuts; grapes, currants, and raisins; alcohol; and caffeinated products. Ask your vet for more information.
Happy Holidays! Do you have questions about your pet's health or care? Contact us! As your local North Las Vegas, NV animal hospital, we are always happy to help!

Install East Asian languages support on Windows XP without the CD
More recent versions of Windows have East Asian Languages support out of the box, but unfortunately Windows XP doesn't have this functionality unless you install it. To get East Asian Languages support on Windows XP, you have to use the original installation CD / DVD, but most people don't have this for various reasons.
Installing East Asian Languages support in Windows XP
There's some chance that you won't actually need the CD to get East Asian Languages support in Windows XP, so it's worth trying to install it normally first. If you've already tried this and know how to do it, skip this section.
Go to Control Panel and open the Regional and Language Options window.
At the bottom of that window there's a check box labeled "Install files for East Asian languages". Click that check-box, and click OK on the pointless file size warning that comes up.
Then click the Apply button in the main window. This will then attempt to install East Asian Languages support. If you're lucky, it may work just like that, in which case you're done here. However, it may ask for the Windows XP installation CD. If you don't have that, use the section below.
Installing East Asian Languages support without the CD
So how can you get CJK language support (Chinese, Japanese and Korean) without the install disc? You could just install a decent operating system like Linux Mint, but there are ways to get proper language support on Windows XP if you need it. You've just got to get hold of the necessary file somehow.
There's actually quite a good chance the file will be on your hard-drive already, but in some hard-to-find location. Here are some potential locations, but it could be anywhere:
C:I386 C:I386lang C:WINDOWSI386 C:WINDOWSServicePackFilesi386lang
The file you're looking for is called cplexe.exe, so if you can't that file in any of the above locations try doing a general search for that. If you can find the file on your hard-drive it's much better as you won't need to download it (the file is fairly large and downloading random files is dangerous).
If you can't find it, though, then it's time to start searching around for a copy online. Just Google for cplexe.exe.
This is obviously quite a dodgy process as you're downloading and installing some random file off the Internet, so exercise your judgment and caution when looking at websites to download it from. I would also suggest using Windows Security Essentials to scan anything you download for malware before you open it.
Once you've got that file, go back through the process above. When it asks for the CD, just click on Browse… and find the cplexe.exe file you've got.
That should start copying the necessary language support files.
Every now and then the installer will ask for more files. Just keep giving it the same cplexe.exe file; all of the necessary items are contained in that. It will also ask if you want to overwrite some files - click Yes every time.
Once that process is finished you'll need to restart. East Asian languages (CJK) should now display correctly. If you've got any questions (or suggestions) please share them in the comments below.

Three children died in a recent outbreak of Hand-Foot-Mouth Disease (HFMD) in Jilin City in northeastern China.
The local officials have ordered all area kindergartens be shut down for three weeks and are working to spread materials on HFMD prevention across the city. However, they refuse to inform the public of the current epidemic in the area.
"Jilin has recorded three deaths so far. Authorities have only informed us of the threat to children," said anonymous person from Tianzhijiaozi Kindergarten.
"Since the outbreak the local authorities have ordered that all kindergartens be shut down for three weeks. Everybody is worried because of the deaths from HFMD," said a Xingshi Kindergarten staff member.
"Although an infected child will not be in school now, he still can spread the virus to others. HFMD is mainly transmitted through direct, person-to-person contact. When a victim begins to lose his breath, it's a sign that his life is in danger. Infants and children under five are most vulnerable to HFMD. It causes more deaths among infected children under three years old," he added.
"These HFMD cases were detected in Jilin City. All kindergartens have been closed since July 21 and will not be opened without a notice from the relevant authorities," said a staff member from the Yuemiao Kindergarten.
Area residents say the government has been posting materials about HFMD prevention across the city since July 22. Local media organizations have been working with hospitals, communities and educational departments to jointly conduct a vigorous propaganda in an effort to fight the epidemic. Only because the campaign was so strong, did residents realize that something terrible had occurred.
"All cases were reported by media completely. To understand the situation, you simply need to watch TV or read a newspaper," said an officer at the Jilin Municipal Bureau of Public Health. "As for the latest deaths, the death toll is only allowed to be published by the provincial authorities. A press conference might be conducted if the situation becomes worse."
The Jilin Children's Hospital was contacted to see if they had any infected children under treatment, but they gave no response.
"As a mother, I really worry about the disease very much," wrote one resident on an Internet site. "Why was I not able to find out any relevant media reports regarding the epidemic? Some children have died of HFMD! My kid's teacher and doctor both told me about it!! Do these officials not have children of their own? How can they have the heart to cover up this information?"

Imagine you live in downtown Vancouver and you're a kayaker, trapped on the island that is a big city, you wouldn't think there is much in the way of runnable whitewater normally, but Vancouver is different, it has 2 almost downtown dammed rivers, and a third rainfed creek, these are the Capilano, Seymour and Lynn. Seymour river actually has 3 distinct sections (Upper class III, middle or canyon class IV-V, and lower class II with some surf) in addition to an pipeline wave before it enters the straight and out to the Pacific Ocean.
At the end of riverside road among all it's houses is a path that leads up the Seymour river, starting beside a bridge over a particularly gnarly section...as you walk this path you'll notice you can't so much see the river except for one part until you arrive at the twin bridges about 2 km up, well the rapid under the first bridge is Final Exam, the part you can see from the path is 'the bony drop' I think it's called, and the twin bridges is the putin and possibly takeout for the upper run.
As you can probably tell from the hike along the well maintained and oft used path, it's a deep canyon, difficult to scout or portage in places and from what I understand very difficult to get out once you're in it, like many canyons. You actually hike your boat this entire way to the putin, which makes this run, as described in Liquidlore.com I think, like going to the gym...but better!
The run itself is amazing. The level was a great introductory just under 2 on the rock. I took a look at the entrance to mosh pit, which didn't look that inviting with the lowish water level. Tim and Geoff ran it on the right with moderate success, Annie ran a better left line. In the end I split the difference and boofed onto the middle nugget and ended up catching the small eddy immediately to the right of the entrance. Coming down the rest of the run was no problem following Annies or Tims lines most of the time. Before I knew it we were at Final Exam as I recognized the bridge...barely having taken time to enjoy the scenery up to that point. You can tell the pools in between the rapids could get very short very quick with some water on this one..
I got out at final exam to watch everyones lines, which were all about the same, then got in to run it, probably my worst run rapid of the jaunt besides the lower part of moshpit, but it turned out fine in the end.
All in all it's hard to say whether it's better as a kayaker to live in Chilliwack or Vancouver. Chilliwack has the Chilliwack canyon, which is much easier, but has an easy shuttle and is a longer run that can be had no matter the water level. Seymour canyon is a better workout with the hike, a shorter run, more challenging, and isn't always runnable with water levels. Though I'm told Norrish Creek runs more often, I'm yet to get on that one...I know if I'd run Seymour canyon with the frequency I've been running Chilliwack canyon at, I'd probably be a more proficient kayaker...but who knows!
Being in Chilliwack now, the thing that's kept me from running the Seymour is the traffic, Vancouver traffic sucks! ..and we've got so many runs around here on our own drainage as well as the Nooksack and in the Fraser Valley...it's often a tough call!

Solo Bombs Big at Chinese Box Office with Measly $10.1M Debut
While we won't get the full four-day estimates for the Memorial Day holiday weekend until tomorrow, it has already essentially been confirmed that Solo: A Star Wars Story won't be gunning for the holiday weekend box office record as previously believed. Now we have word that Solo is also severely underperforming in the second largest box office market in the world, China, where it debuted in third place with a paltry $10.1 million. Solo was beaten by local Chinese hit How Long Will I Love U, which took in $25 million in its second frame in the Middle Kingdom, with Avengers: Infinity War taking in $18 million for second place in its third weekend.
Star Wars movies have typically underperformed in China, for largely unknown reasons, and they even tried to minimize Solo being a Star Wars movie, by changing the title from Solo: A Star Wars Story to Ranger Solo. This opening weekend marks the latest in a downward spiral for Star Wars movies in China, since Disney acquired the franchise. The 2015 blockbuster Star Wars: The Force Awakens opened to a decent $52.4 million in China in early 2016, en route to a Middle Kingdom total of $124.1 million. 2016's Rogue One opened to just over $30 million with a $69.4 million Chinese total, while last year's The Last Jedi continued the slide with a $28.1 million opening and $42.5 million total in China.
Chinese audiences have often been quite "cold" on sci-fi movies in general, but Solo's debut in the Middle Kingdom is even lower than flops such as Paramount's Ghost in the Shell ($21 million) and Passengers ($14.8 million). Still, Star Wars movies don't depend on big international grosses like other tentpole franchises, with the last three movies in the franchise earning 55% or less of their worldwide totals from overseas markets. Still, with China posting immense growth from year to year, and the Middle Kingdom actually poised to overtake North America as the largest box office market in the world, within the next few years, Disney may have to take a new approach to win back the Chinese audience with this franchise.
As of now, there are three Chinese films in the worldwide top 10, despite those films earning less than $5 million in North America combined. Behind Avengers: Infinity War ($1.9 billion) and Black Panther ($1.3 billion) is the Chinese hit Operation Red Sea, which took in $579.2 million worldwide in third place, with just $1.5 million coming from North America. In fifth place, behind Ready Player One ($577 million) is Detective Chinatown 2, which has taken in $544.1 million worldwide, just $2 million from the domestic box office. Monster Hunt 2 rounds out the Chinese trifecta in ninth place worldwide with $361.7 million, with $706,000 from North America.
How Disney will solve its Star Wars problem with Chinese audiences remains to be seen, and it didn't even help Rogue One that the movie featured two major Chinese movie stars in the cast, Donnie Yen and Wen Jiang. This also comes as Disney recently announced they are moving forward with a new Star Wars spin-off focusing on the iconic bounty hunter Boba Fett, with The Hollywood Reporter joking that perhaps Boba Fett may have been played by Chinese icon Jackie Chan all along.

Intermec Says Symbol Violating Trade Law
The U.S. International Trade Commission will investigate claims that Symbol is engaging in unfair trade practices by importing handheld devices that infringe on Intermec's patents.
Aug 01, 2005—The ongoing intellectual property dispute between Intermec Technologies, an Everett, Wash.-based RFID and bar systems provider, and rival Symbol Technologies of Holtsville, N.Y., has entered a new phase. Last week, the U.S. International Trade Commission (USITC) agreed to investigate Intermec's claim that Symbol is violating U.S. trade practices by importing three of its own products—handheld mobile computing devices and accessories—that allegedly infringe on patents held by Intermec.
Intermec filed the claim with the USITC on June 30. The claim states Symbol is violating Section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930 by importing into the United States and selling three products—Symbol's MC50, MC9000 and PPT8800 handheld mobile computing devices (or their component pieces or communication cradles)—that allegedly infringe on Intermec's patents covering pocket-sized handheld computing devices, modular handheld computing devices and recharging and data exchange cradles for handheld computing devices. The MC9000-G RFID, one of four models in the MC9000 series, is a handheld bar code/RFID reader.
"Our view is that none of our products infringe these [Intermec] patents," says Peter Lieb, Symbol's senior vice president and general counsel. "We are doing a study of prior art to determine whether the patents themselves are valid," he told RFID Journal. A study of prior art determines whether the patent is based on intellectual property that already existed before Intermec filed its patents, or if any of the IP referenced in the patents was common knowledge prior to the filing. Lieb adds that if the products are found by the ITC to infringe on Intermec's patents, Symbol will redesign them to remove the infringement.
Intermec is requesting that the USITC issue an exclusion order—a prohibition to import specific items—and a permanent "cease and desist" order to Symbol, which would bar the importation and sale of the goods in the United States. Intermec is unable to make a patent infringement case in civil court, because the goods are manufactured outside of the United States, but importing goods into the United States that infringe on U.S patents is considered an unfair trade practice under Section 337.
According to Pat Reilly, CEO and founder of the Intellectual Property Society, making a claim with the USITC over patent infringement based on Section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930 is a common practice taken by companies to assert patent rights on goods manufactured on foreign soil. "This is a classic move," he says, "and if the ruling is in favor of the claimant, it will prohibit the import of the goods named in the claim."
The USITC's agreement to investigate the case does not mean it has made any decision on whether the Symbol products infringe on Intermec patents. Sidney Harris, an ITC administrative law judge, will issue a schedule for the case within 45 days, which will include a target date for completing the investigation, and a specific date for an evidentiary hearing. The latter is conducted much like a trial in a court of law and will involve lawyers from Intermec, Symbol and an ITC attorney representing the public interest. Most Section 337 investigations take 12 to 18 months, according to the USITC.
The USITC decision will become final 60 days after issuance unless disapproved for policy reasons by a U.S. trade representative. If the USITC rules that Symbol is in violation of Section 337 due to patent infringement, the company may appeal the decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. Intermec may also appeal if it disagrees with the commission's decision. Either party's appeal must be filed within 60 calendar days of the date of the USITC's final decision.
Since June 2004, Intermec has filed three suits against Symbol over patent infringement and related issues (see Intermec Sues Matrics and Round 3: Intermec vs. Symbol). Symbol, meanwhile, has filed two patent infringement suits against Intermec (see Symbol Sues Intermec in IP Dispute and Symbol Files Second Suit).
A pretrial hearing for the suit levied by Intermec against Symbol in June 2004 will begin Sept. 7 (see Set for Intermec, Symbol).

The new coveted designer on the block is Judith Leiber. Not that Leiber is new, but her designs have come to the forefront as the must have high end bag. Yet her bags are more of an art form, a piece that can be carried one or twice then put on display in your home. The designs are so meticulous, infusing thousands of crystals, that the thought of bumping this bag against anything other than a cashmere pillow makes me cringe. So while I will save up for the perfect evening Leiber piece, that will undoubtedly end up on showcase tucked away in a china cabinet, I can imagine adding these small Leiber pieces to satiate my need. Ultra tiny and cute, the Leiber Coin Purse Minaudiere will look perfectly chic being pulled out of your handbag for the evening. I would still tuck this piece away carefully, but it is so tiny and fun, that I can not resist loving it. Available in ruby, rhine (clear), or cosmo jet (black) crystals, this coin purse features silver tone hardware and a kiss lock closure with a jeweled detail top. It is a mini bag and completely not necessary, yet so cute it can make sense. Dimensions are small, like mentioned, a mere 1 3/4″H X 1 1/2″W X 1″D. And lucky the price is still 'reasonable'. $195 at Saks.
P.S. Please consider supporting our small, bag-loving team by clicking our links before shopping or checking out at your favorite online retailers like Amazon, Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, or any of the listed partners on our shop page. We truly appreciate your support!

The First Great Debate
Spencer: So by now you've probably heard about the vacant coaching spot for the Kansas City Chiefs.
Blase: And like us, you probably have certain guys you want to see as the head coach. I mean, let's face it, seeing Bill Cowher in Red and Yellow would be interesting to say the least.
Spencer: But our hopes aren't set on getting Bill Cowher (we're being realistic). We've heard the question discussed and thought we would duke it out ourselves.
Should the Chiefs hire Romeo (Bromeo) Crennel?
Spencer: For me, I think the Chiefs should definitely hire Romeo Crennel as their head coach for next year.
Blase: You had to say it. Well, just to warn you, I caught five shrimp tonight at the Japanese Steakhouse (always a competition in my family) and let's just say I'm on top of my game. So don't say I didn't warn you. I have to politely disagree with you: Crennel is not the answer for the Chiefs organization. As much as I love the big guy, I see some major issues with the hire.
Spencer: Let me explain, Crennel has the backing of the players behind him. After taking over the job as the interim head coach, he rallied the troops and managed to beat the undefeated Packers. That was a solid win. Someone needs to get a video of that Gatorade bath. The calm, cool "I've done this a million times" look on Crennel's face was priceless. Not to mention, his headset was dislodged after the Gatorade hit him. Come on, who wouldn't want a coach like that.
Blase: You're right the players are behind him. But, just because he has the backing of the players doesn't necessarily mean he should be hired. Having confidence in a coach is one thing, but if the coach can't give the players the tool's to win then that confidence means absolutely nothing.
Spencer: You do realize that Crennel arguably led the strongest part of the Chiefs team this year, the defense?
Blase: I'm well aware of that, but go back and look at the stats. These are the amount of points the Chiefs gave up each game respectively: 41, 48, 20, 17, 24, 0, 20, 31, 17, 34, 13, 3, 37, 14, and 13. That looks pretty inconsistent to me. And am I wrong or was that the exact reason Pioli fired Haley in the first place—he was too inconsistent.
Spencer: Yes, but you have to admit. Having a coach with a lot of jewelry is appealing. He's been there and done that. His five rings are proof of that. And the stat with the points can be slightly credited to the offense that couldn't move the ball or control the clock. And don't you think you're forgetting something (or someone I suppose): Eric Berry, easily one of the best safeties in the NFL.
Blase: But during his time as head coach with the Cleveland Browns, his combined record was 24-40. I think that's a tell-tale sign that, while he may be able to handle the defense, I'm not sold he can lead a whole team.
Spencer: That's what the offensive coordinator is for… We could go on for days, but I think we will stop there. Alright, for the other two serious candidates that the Chiefs are considering, check out the below information.
Blase: And please, Clark Hunt, spend money on Jeff Fisher.
Jeff Fisher
Coach Fisher was previously the head coach of the Tennessee Titans for a total of 16 seasons. While he is known as an offensive line specialist, Coach Fisher has been around the block long enough to know how to handle a team with "special" personalities that the Chiefs have on their hands (we're looking at you Jonathan Baldwin and Dwayne Bowe). As the head coach of the Titans he led the team to a combined record of 146-120 in his 16 seasons. He led a 13-3 Titans team to the Super Bowl in 1999, but lost to the St. Louis Rams 23-16 (That game went down as an instant classic. One yard. Just one yard. I'm sure Coach Fisher and the Titans have nightmares about that play all the time). He has made the playoffs six times.
The Roast of Josh McDaniels
Josh McDaniels's resume makes me want to run the other way and beg for Todd Haley to return. At the time of his hiring, as head coach of the Broncos, he was the youngest head coach in the NFL. In his first season, McDaniels managed to go 8-8 in a division that was well below average. The second season was a disaster. The Broncos had a regular season record of 3-9 in 2010, when he was fired. He moved on from the firing and pursued a job as the offensive coordinator for the St. Louis Rams where he was incredible at calling all the wrong plays. With the Rams, McDaniels's offense put up staggering numbers for all the wrong reasons. The offense led the league in fewest points SCORED and was second to last in yards. The offense also was able to land in the top ten for turning the ball over (21 times). The bright spot on the season is the two wins, one against the New Orleans Saints… we will just leave out the thirteen loses. In regards to the Chiefs, it seems like Pioli wants Josh as a puppet, I mean head coach… Scott wants some one that will not challenge his drafts or his trades. That guinea pig could be Coach McDaniels if Pioli gets his way.

For those that follow my Instagram Feed or Facebook Page, you will know just how much I adore K-Mart. So much so, that one of my favourite times of the week is Thursday night grocery shopping when I can nip next door to Kmart after I am done.
I tell you K-Mart is the ultimate money pit for me, I cannot leave that place without buying something - most of the time it is something I knew ever knew I needed - anyone else do this?!!
I was told a few months ago from a very reliable source to expect big things in the home wears department in August. Since then I have been stalking my local store to see the new range, and I haven't been disappointed one little bit.
Today the new Home Living Catalogue came in the post and I couldn't read it fast enough (1000 times over). You can access it here online if yours still has not arrived (or if it was soaking wet like mine!). All items are supposed to be in store as of Monday 4th August, but I have found many to already be on shelves now.
There are SO many things that I love, want and need, here are just a few of my favourites.
Hall Entry Table
We already have a White Hall/Entry Table, which I purchased from Gumtree a few years ago. It is in a desperate need of a paint touch before it moves to our new entrance area, once the extension is done.
I think buying this beauty for $30.00 is going to be easier (and probably cheaper) than a paint job!
Dinner Set
I went mad for the other sets that Kmart released back in 2012. But the new designs have me working out ways to store these in an already busting plate cupboard!
The new sets are available in the below Trellis Style and a Polka Dot version too.
A 12 piece set is only $15, can you believe it?!
Side Table
I will let you in on a shocking secret, we don't own a single coffee table in our house! With a baby and a toddler (sharp corners), we have managed to go without... til now!
This side table is the perfect size, shape, colour and price for me. I have it sitting in my garage ready to put together so watch this space folks!
The side table is only $29 and comes in a bedside table and bar stool too.
Knitted Ottoman
Seriously where on earth were you sweet ottoman when I needed you in my nursery 6 months ago?! This is $29 and comes in red, charcoal, teal and the natural colour - which I adore.
Guy in the Towel!
Anyone else hoping he was for sale for $8?!!!
So those are my favourites - what are you planning to buy? Or what have you bought? Love to hear all about it or see some pictures of your buys in action.... It goes without saying that I am not sponsored by K-Mart buy boy do I wish I was!!


text: What to Do About an Air Conditioner Leaking WaterTips from Your AC Repair Experts Posted June 27, 2016 Summer is not the time you want to fret about AC repair. You have better things to do—like taking a vacation or chilling by the pool. When you're dreaming of the pool this summer, it's probably not a pool of water by your air conditioner. What's the issue and how can you fix it? Hillcrest Air Conditioning & Plumbing can help. Turn Off Your System The first thing you should do if you notice water pooling close to your indoor unit is to turn off your system because water could destroy its electronic components. Water pooling around your indoor unit is a sign that something is either leaking or not draining and it's maybe time for an AC repair. Don't freak. Just call us. It could be a quick repair. The following are a couple of common causes of a dripping air conditioner that are uncomplicated to mend. Clogged Condensate Drain Part of your air conditioner's job is to pull water from the air in your home. This moisture has to be emptied away from inside your unit through a condensate drain. One of the usual causes of a leaking air conditioner is when this drain becomes congested. When this happens, the water will back up into your home. Change Your Filters The easiest thing you can do to keep your system functioning as it should is replace the air filter. If your air filter is filthy, it keeps air from pouring over the evaporator coil. This can cause the evaporator coil to become layered in debris and dirt. When this takes place, your coil could ice up—which is a sign of disruption. If your evaporator coil ices over, you'll have to defrost it by turning your system off and switching your blower from "auto" to "on." Hopefully, the ice will melt slow enough that your drain can handle it. Whenever you notice water or ice around your AC unit, your preferred course of action is to turn it off and call us to come take a look. It's likely a minor obstacle, but we'll take care of it and give you peace of mind. Give us a call at 661-437-3499 if you notice any problems that might require AC repair, or if you're ready to schedule your annual air conditioner maintenance. Back To Blog

Did you ever open a document and wonder where a specific field is used? Of course, you can open a form in Designer, but then you don't see the value. So you'll have to go back to the client, look at that spot where you find your field and see what value is there, or check it in the document properties.
It would be a lot easier when you could just click a button that displays the fieldnames with a little tag above the field values when you're in a document. Some extra option you have as a designer.

Intelligently written, witty and funny. Loved the story and colour of characters. Very good read.
Elizabeth kelly writes the kind of dialogue you wish you had thought of when someone insults you.....and you think of a good one liner the day later.
I liked this book better than her first novel, and if the trend continues, I will like her next one even better than this.
An old secret causes a present-day murder on Cape Cod. Life among the wealthy, horsey set. Suspenseful page turner; didn't want it to end! Great dialogue!
An intriguing story of tragic consequences of secrets kept too long - peppered with witty banter and clever repartees. A brilliant balance of danger and levity - a unique combination.

Question for Note 2 owners... A feature on the iPhone thay I totally loved - being able to save ANY picture/photo by long pressing on it & it would save straight into the gallery.
Even if it was a pic on facebook, it'd still do it.
Most androids won't do this on a few 'certain' sites, and especially not on Facebook.
Does the Note 2 have this ability???
Please say it does!

Leaf House is the creation of small home enthusiast Laird Herbert from Whitehorse, Canada, who was inspired by the idea of building his own home.
Gizmag reported that after testing out several prototypes, Herbert has finally finished work on what he calls Version.2, and the result is a tiny portable home design that takes up a small amount of space, is big enough to live in comfortably, and reportedly accommodates a family of four. (To view the entire article with additional photos click here).
Designed to withstand the cold Canadian climate, Leaf House Version.2 is a custom-built, fully self-contained portable home. Better yet, it is mounted on wheels, allowing owners to pick up and go whenever the urge arises.
The home has been constructed using Forest Stewardship Certified (FSC) timber, recycled materials, natural finishes and eco-friendly building products. It is built on top of a trailer base and offers a further four feet in length over Version.1. The interior features a living area with sofa bed, raised sleeping quarters, fully functional kitchen, bathroom with a compact bathtub and an open dining area.
Furthermore, the home features many self-sustaining elements including a composting toilet, propane tankless hot water system, propane GE range half fridge, Ecoheat electric baseboards, LED and halogen lighting and a 35-gallon (water storage unit.
Incorporating a tin roof, the home's design elements are simple enough to blend in with its surroundings. Pack some portable deck chairs and outdoor furnishings, and you can create an extended exterior living area.
Leaf House Version.2 is currently on the market for $43,429, which is a steal if you take into consideration that it cost Herbert $39,038 to build. If consumers fancy something with a personal touch, they can commission Herbet to design your very own tiny house prototype.

Grilling Safety Tips for the Outdoors
There is no better way to announce to the world that warm weather has arrived than throwing some burgers and dogs on the grill out back and watching them sizzle! Grilling your foods on the bb-Que is one of the most popular ways to make food and has become a summer icon in the minds of Americans everywhere. The perfect aroma and the mouthwatering taste are enough to make anyone long for those summer days but don't forget to keep safety at the forefront of your mind. Following these common-sense safety tips will have you as the resident outdoor chef accepting orders from the entire neighborhood before the summer is done.
It's all fun and games until somebody burns down a house. Seriously. Fire departments on average respond to almost 8,000 calls a year involving grills or barbecues that lead to injuries, property damage and sometimes even death. Make sure to have a fire extinguisher handy and know how to use it if you need to. It's easy to become distracted while tending to the grill, but someone needs to always be keeping a watchful eye on the flames.
Read the manual!
This seems like it might be something that you would do without being told, but if you're truly honest, when was the last time you actually read a manual? It might be okay to skip the manual on something like putting together your new dresser, but when we are dealing with fire, it is a no-brainer. Oh, and if you read the manual for your grill and think you know how they all work, think again. Your grill is going to work differently from your buddy's and that one is going to be different from your father-in-law's. Just read the manual and save yourself the time, embarrassment and possible injury if something doesn't go right.
There is a minimum distance around your grill that must be kept clear (See manual for minimum distance). Remember, pretty much everything in the path of the grill will burn if given the slightest chance, so don't give it a chance. Take this into account when having back yard cookouts and gatherings.
Food safety
Now that the actual fire is safely dealt with, remember that the food you are cooking can carry a multitude of disease and bacteria with it. (Yummy, right?) Just follow common sense and remember to keep it cool until right before you start to cook it as well as refrigerate it when you are done eating it. It's easy to lounge around the table a little longer and forget about the food lying there, but making sure your food is kept at proper temperatures will ensure that everyone goes home feeling good and that you have return guests at your next backyard grilling party.

After plenty of speculation, it's officially official: no Melky Cabrera for the Giants in the playoffs.
Bruce Bochy confirmed on Thursday that Melky wouldn't re-join the team for the postseason, even when his suspension was up.
"We're moving forward without Melky," Bochy said.
The statistical, objective response to this is "WHAT?" That's because Melky crushed the ball in the first half, was one of the best hitters in the National League, looked like an MVP candidate and helped to keep the Giants afloat until Buster Posey put them on his back and carried them to a divisional title.
The subjective opinion is a different ballgame though: the Giants played good baseball after Melky left and it's become clear that the leaders in the team's clubhouse aren't happy with the way Melky's suspension went down and how he handled it with his teammates.
Chemistry can be overblown in a game like baseball, but to ignore chemistry when making a decision about a team like the Giants -- it almost feels like chemistry is what carried them to the 2010 title, stupendous pitching aside -- doesn't make sense.
And it's certainly not Bochy's style. Besides, the team's been red hot since Melky's departure and actually cruised past the Dodgers despite L.A. adding good players and the Giants losing a good one.
As an added bonus, now the team gets to keep playing baseball and not worry about answering questions about Melky's status.
If they make it to the NLCS and can't hit, however, expect plenty of second-guessing, even if it's really not warranted.

Roland Stock, LLC attorneys have been serving the needs of the aging population in Berks County for more than 25 years. Although providing many of the same services under the term "estate planning," legal services for the elder population became known as Elder Law in the 1990s.
Our Elder Law attorneys handle the provision of legal services to meet the needs of the elderly community including, but not limited to, traditional estate planning such as Wills, Powers of Attorney, Guardianships and Living Wills; tax planning, often relating to retirement; Social Security and pension issues; medical insurance issues relating to Medicare, Medigap Insurance and Long Term Care Insurance; and especially Long Term Care Planning for nursing home admissions, often known as Medicaid Planning. These issues arise for various populations including the elderly and their care givers.
Nursing Home/Medicaid Planning has become a critical area of law due to the ever-increasing number of senior citizens and the rapidly increasing cost of long term care. Due to the complexity of this area, it is critical that an attorney concentrate in this area in order to develop necessary expertise. Failure to work with a qualified elder law attorney at this crucial time for a family can result in needless spending of assets which could otherwise be saved for a spouse and family. Partners concentrating in the area of Elder Law, Estate Planning and Estate Administration, Robert Kreitz and Victoria Gallen Schutt, would be pleased to meet with you and your family to discuss these complex and sensitive issues related to your elderly loved ones.

Marni Jameson's AARP Book 'Downsizing the Family Home: What to Save, What to Let Go' Features Local Senior Moving Company Door to Door Solutions
Door to Door Solutions, a Richmond, Va. senior moving company that specializes in later life moves, is pleased to announce the company has recently been featured in Marni Jameson's "Downsizing the Family Home: What to Save, What to Let Go." Published by AARP in January 2016, the book is a sensitive guide to help readers through the process of downsizing in older age.
"We understand the emotional and physical challenges of moving in later life, and our move managers are specially trained to help seniors and their families with all aspects of a move, whether they are downsizing from their long-term residence or transitioning to a senior care community," said Katie Hamann, co-founder of Door to Door Solutions.
She continued, "We are here with as much help as seniors need. In addition to simply packing, moving and unpacking boxes—which is important for helping seniors prevent stress injuries—we also offer consultations to manage the process from start to finish. A later life transition is about more than moving stuff. It's about transporting memories, so we help create floor plans to get everything in place in the new home."
Using her own story as the basis for downsizing (or helping your aging parents downsize), Jameson's book helps readers figure out a strategy and create a mindset for accomplishing a move as quickly and as easily as possible. She offers tips and insights from national experts ranging from antiques appraisers to professional organizers to psychologists, helping you figure out what to keep, what to sell and how to organize the move.
The book features case studies of seniors who have employed move managers, including Door to Door Solutions, to assist with downsizing. As the case studies show, large homes are often an impediment for seniors who wish to spend their time traveling, visiting children and grandchildren, seeing friends and more. Seniors often tire of housework and yard maintenance, and downsizing is a way to streamline.
About Door to Door Solutions
Door to Door Solutions is a Richmond, Va.-based organization that specializes in later life moves. Founded in 2007 by Katie Hamann and Donnie Harper, the company helps seniors, empty nesters and singles plan and manage moves, whether that means downsizing or transitioning to a retirement or assisted living community. Services include packing and unpacking, creating floor plans, shredding, storage and disposal of unwanted items. Learn more at doortodoorsolutions.com.

The use of these devices are very prevalent in this age group. Most seem to believe that there is no impact to health from these devices.
It is interesting that no educational or other preventive approaches are being recommended.
Our blu-light therapy units may be of help, especially if you have irregular work or study hours.
Other more natural help may come from magnesium, B vitamins, Valerian root or other well selected high quality liquid herbal extracts, melatonin, l-tryptophan or 5HTP, herbal teas, raw honey, and baths.
Unfortunately - in the long term - Rx drugs alter REM sleep and other problems may develop with habituation and rebound insomnia that may cause greater drug use.

Use of sleep aids by young U.S. adults soars
By Julie Steenhuysen
Thu Jan 15, 2009
CHICAGO (Reuters) – Use of prescription sleep aids nearly tripled among young adults between 1998 and 2006, according to a study released on Thursday by the healthcare business arm of Thomson Reuters.
"Insomnia, a condition traditionally associated with older adults, appears to be causing larger numbers of young adults to turn to prescription sleep aids, and to depend on them for longer periods of time," said William Marder, senior vice president and general manager for the healthcare business of Thomson Reuters, parent company of Reuters News.
A study of medical and drug claims data found a 50-percent increase in use of the drugs among all adults under 45, who also appear to be using the drugs for a longer period of time to help them fall asleep.
During the study period, the average length of time sleep aids were used by adults under 45 jumped by more than 40 percent -- rising to 93 days in 2006 from 64 days in 1998.
But perhaps the most startling finding was the increase in use of sleep aids among college-age adults 18 to 24.
Use in this age group rose to 1,524 users per 100,000 in 2006, up from 599 users per 100,000 in 1998.
"I find it very worrisome that young people who should have a very strong and healthy sleep system are now finding they are turning to medication to help them get to sleep," Donna Arand, a sleep specialist at Kettering Hospital Sleep Disorder Center in Dayton, Ohio, said in a telephone interview.
Arand said she has seen a number of students seeking sleep aids because their normal sleep patterns have been disrupted in college, and she fears these adults may have trouble adjusting to a normal sleep pattern as their schedules normalize.
Two-thirds of those in this study population were taking non-benzodiazepine hypnotics -- such as Sanofi-Aventis' Ambien CR and Sepracor Inc's Lunesta.
These newer sleep aids generally have fewer side effects, but in rare cases they can cause sleep walking.
That may have led to the demise of a 51-year-old Wisconsin man who froze to death while sleep-walking barefoot in his underwear this week in below-zero cold.
The Sawyer County Sheriff's Office in Hayward, Wisconsin, said Timothy Brueggeman had Ambien at his house, and family members told the Star Tribune newspaper in Minneapolis that he had a history of sleep walking.
Chief Deputy Tim Ziegel said there was no proof that Brueggeman had taken the drug before his death but toxicology tests had been ordered.
"We do not know all the facts about what transpired," said Sanofi spokeswoman Susan Brook, noting that the circumstances of the man's death are still being investigated.
In general, she said sleep walking is a rare side effect of the drug and she cautioned that Ambien or Ambien CR should not be taken by people with a history of sleep walking, nor should they be taken with alcohol.
