Maturation of a central brain flight circuit in Drosophila requires Fz2 and Ca2+ signaling.
The heterotrimeric G protein Go functions as a transducer of Wingless-Frizzled 2 signaling in the synapse and Ankyrin 2 as a target of Go signaling required for neuromuscular junction formation
Study finds that C-terminal fragments of the Wg receptor DFz2 accumulate in nuclear foci in association with large RNA granules localizing to the space between the inner & and outer nuclear membranes; granules are found at of inner membrane invaginations, are bounded by LamC, and can be seen leaving the nucleus.
Knockdown of Tc-fz1 alone interfered with the formation of the proximo-distal and the dorso-ventral axes during leg development, whereas no effect was observed with single Tc-fz2 or Tc-fz4 RNAi knockdowns.
Wnt-activated growth of the postsynaptic membrane is mediated by the synapse-to-nucleus translocation and active nuclear import of Fz2-C via a selective Importin-beta11/alpha2 pathway.
subcellular Fz localization, through the association with other membrane proteins, is a critical aspect in regulating the signaling specificity within the Wnt/Fz signaling pathways
Frizzled2 achieves ligand capture and internalization, whereas Arrow, and perhaps downstream signalling, are essential for lysosomal targeting.
concluded that, at synapses, Wingless signal transduction occurs through the nuclear localization of DFrizzled2-C for potential transcriptional regulation of synapse development
DFz2 functions as an endocytic receptor for Wingless in the Drosophila wing
Data show that GRIP is necessary for the trafficking of Frizzled-2 to the nucleus.
fzd2 are broadly expressed throughout the head, during zebrafish craniofacial development
frizzled 8c is a receptor for wnt8
conserved role of a Wnt5/Fz2 signaling pathway in islet formation during pancreatic development.
FZD2 could promote clinically relevant EMT, CD44(+) stem-like properties, and the VM phenotype in HCC involving a potential Hippo signaling pathway-dependent mechanism, and should be considered as a promising therapeutic target for the treatment of HCC.
The results indicate that OMOD2 or Robinow syndome-like phenotype can be caused by a heterozygous nonsense FZD2 mutation impairing Wnt signaling.
Down-regulation of miR-30a-3p/5p promotes esophageal squamous cell carcinoma cell proliferation by activating the Wnt signaling pathway through inhibition of Wnt2 and Fzd2.
this study presents the crystal structure of a TcdB fragment in complex with the cysteine-rich domain of human FZD2 at 2.5-angstrom resolution, which reveals an endogenous FZD-bound fatty acid acting as a co-receptor for TcdB binding.
our study suggests a role for FZD2 in high-risk neuroblastoma cell growth
Treatment of the cell lines with Fzd2 siRNA resulted in significantly reduced migration and invasiveness but did not affect proliferation.Patients with high Fzd2 expression had significantly poorer recurrencefree survival than those with low expression
Fzd2 did not influence the proliferation of EC cells.
FZD2 was downregulated in an adenoid cystic carcinoma cell line with high metastatic potential, vs another with low potential. Knockdown of FZD2 downregulated the expression of PAI-1.
Sonazoid enhanced sonoporation of the cells with the diagnostic US device and the suppression of proliferation of both HCC cell lines by shRNA-Fz2.
the present study demonstrated that Fzd2 contributes to the migration and invasion of OSCC cells, at least partly through regulation of the STAT3 pathway
CD82 enhanced the expression of miR-203 and directly downregulated FZD2 expression, suppressing cancer metastasis/cell migration by inhibiting the Wnt signaling pathway.
the FRIZZLED2 mutation is a de novo, novel cause for autosomal dominant omodysplasia.
Fz2 was positive in both the cell membrane and cytoplasm of gastric cancer tissues of moderately differentiated and poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma.Fz2 expression pattern in normal stomach tissues.
It is associated with poor prognosis in glioblastoma patients.
Pharmacologic and genetic perturbations reveal that Fzd2 drives epithelial-mesenchymal transition and cell migration through a previously unrecognized, noncanonical pathway that includes Fyn and Stat3.
Data suggest that an anti-Wnt5a antibody was capable of suppressing Wnt5a-dependent internalization of Fz2 receptor, resulting in the prevention of metastasis of gastric cancer cells by inhibiting the activation of Rac1 and the expression of laminin gamma2.
altered expression of FZD2 might be associated with a proliferative status, thus playing a role in the biology of human medulloblastomas
Wnt5a activated Rac in the beta-catenin-independent pathway, and Frizzled2 (Fz2) and Ror1 or Ror2 were required for this action.
Ror2 positively modulates Wnt3a-activated canonical signaling in a lung carcinoma, H441 cell line. This activity of Ror2 is dependent on cooperative interactions with Fzd2 but not Fzd7.
Human Frizzled-2 does not couple to calcium-mediated signaling through Wnt-5 protein and has slowly accumulated in canonical signaling by Wnt-3 protein.
the Wnt5a/Frizzled-2 axis suppresses beta-catenin signaling in hepatocytes in an autocrine manner, thereby contributing to timely conclusion of the liver regeneration process
Fzd2 promotes changes in epithelial cell length and shape. These changes in cell morphology deform the developing lung epithelial tube to generate and maintain new domain branches.
Results provide further insight into the role of Wnt5a and Fzd2 in the pathogenesis of adult amyotrophic lateral sclerosis transgenic mice.
observed genetic interactions between Fz2 and Fz7 and five canonical and/or non-canonical signaling molecules: Dvl3, Wnt3a, Wnt11, Vangl2, and Wnt5a.
Frizzled signaling is involved in diverse tissue closure processes, defects in which account for some of the most common congenital anomalies.
Indicate that myofibroblast migration and differentiation are modulated via Wnt/Fzd signalling.
Protein kinase G is a critical downstream effector of the noncanonical Wnt-Frizzled-2/cGMP/Ca2+ pathway
Preferential expression of Frizzled2 gene is detected in fetal liver kinase (Flk)1-negative and Flk1-positive cells under different culture conditions.
This intronless gene is a member of the frizzled gene family. Members of this family encode seven-transmembrane domain proteins that are receptors for the wingless type MMTV integration site family of signaling proteins. This gene encodes a protein that is coupled to the beta-catenin canonical signaling pathway. Competition between the wingless-type MMTV integration site family, member 3A and wingless-type MMTV integration site family, member 5A gene products for binding of this protein is thought to regulate the beta-catenin-dependent and -independent pathways.

The Department of Phsyiotheraphy at Columbia Asia Hospitals
Restoring Function and Improving Lives:
Rehabilitation aims at improving the ability of the patient to carry out his/her daily activities that have been affected by illness, injury, or surgery. Here at Columbia Asia Hospitals, the physicians, the physical therapists, the occupational therapists, and the speech-language pathologists work as a team and engage with you, your family, and your other health care providers to deliver the right care at the right time. No matter how diverse your needs may be, our staff will come together to enable the team understand your goals so that they can offer support to you and your family as a whole.
Treating the person "as a whole"
By treating the person "as a whole" means that it is not just treating the patient's physical symptoms. Injuries, diseases, and medical problems can have profound influence on the emotional wellbeing of the patient and his/her family. Therefore, treatment aims at providing not only relief of physical symptoms but also relief of mental stress and agony.
Physiotherapy is a health care profession that offers a wide range of specialized services. The aim is of physiotherapy is to make a proper diagnosis and afford customized treatment in order to prevent further damage or disease. Physiotherapists work primarily with people recovering from injuries. The goal is to get patients back in motion with exercises, massage, and other techniques, and therapy usually happens in the hospital setting. Physical therapy often focuses on preventing further injuries, and it can help people to avoid surgery or a long-term dependence on medications.
Our physiotherapists assist their patients, ably, so that they recover quickly and become independent. This is done by targeting the therapy on those systems of the body related to movement and muscle strength. Physical therapists at Columbia Asia Referral Hospital work with the patients to evolve the best course of treatment for them. They focus on applying therapy to those parts of the body that cause limitation of the ability to move, to play sports, or to perform activities of daily living.
The inpatient and outpatient services offered by Physiotherapy are designed with a primary goal in mind: to restore function of the concerned body parts and to achieve better quality of life on the whole. Whether it is about managing pain, or learning to walk, or preparing to work, or adjusting to life after illness, our team of experts engages with the patient and his/her family to design a customized treatment plan tailored to suit the patient's absolute needs.
"The goal of Physiotherapy is to get your body back to its original function as soon as possible."
Physiotherapy is offered to individuals who are experiencing:
- Back and neck pain.
- Brain injury and stroke.
- Joint and muscle pain.
- Spinal cord injuries.
- Sports-related injuries.
- Joint restriction and adhesions.
- Parkinson and stroke rehabilitation.
- Falls and fractures.
- Arthritis and osteoporosis.
- Brain injury or stroke.
- Cancer.
- Spinal cord injuries and other neurological conditions.
- Other medical conditions affecting activities of daily living.
Additional clinics/programs are also operational, namely:
- Falls Prevention Clinic.
- Lymphedema Management.
- Cardiac Rehabilitation Program.
- The Brain and Stroke Rehabilitation Program.
- Women's Health - Antenatal and Postnatal.
- Weight Loss Clinic.
Occupational therapists help their patients perform day-to-day tasks, whether they're recovering from injuries, or have developmental or cognitive disabilities affecting their motor skills, emotions, or behavior. Some occupational therapy might happen in a hospital or occupational therapist's office, but a key component occurs in a patient's home or work environment. There's a strong emphasis on the practical aspects of helping people do the things they want and need to do, so that they can live life to the fullest.
Occupational therapists at Columbia Asia Referral Hospital work with the patients across their lifespans to help them return to their daily activities in a pleasant way. Occupational therapists also help children to participate wholly in school and social events. They assist people to recover from an injury in order that they return to work well. They also offer support to older adults who are experiencing both physical and cognitive changes.
Occupational therapy service typically includes:
- An individualized evaluation during which the patient, his/her family, and the occupational therapist come together in order to determine the person's goals.
- A customized intervention to improve a person's ability to perform daily activities and reach his/her goals.
- An outcome evaluation to ensure that the goals are being met and make changes, accordingly, to fit the plan.
- Occupational therapy practitioners who have a holistic perspective of the patient's requirement - where the focus is placed on the way the patient adapts to his/her immediate environment. It is to be noted, however, that the patient and his/her family are an integral part of the therapy team.
- Help patients with daily living skills and self-care tasks (i.e., "occupations") such as getting dressed.
- Support patients with memory loss or other cognitive issues.
- Make recommendations about adaptive equipment and patients' accessibility needs.
- Brain injury or stroke.
- Spinal cord injuries and other neurological conditions.
- Childhood developmental disabilities (developmental delay, Down syndrome, autism, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, etc.)
- Early intervention and infant stimulation.
- Neurodevelopmental therapy.
- Sensory integration therapy.
- Hand function and splinting.
- Handwriting training.
- Functional retraining and activities of daily living training.
- Coma stimulation.
- Cognitive Retraining.
- Falls Prevention Clinic.
The speech therapy unit at Columbia Asia Hospitals provides therapy for adults and children whose ability to speak or swallow has been affected by injury or illness.
Our speech therapists (sometimes referred to as speech-language pathologists) assess and treat speech, language, and swallowing disorders.
Common conditions treated:
- Speech disorders due to brain injury and stroke.
- Disorders of conscious intellectual activity and communication.
- Memory loss (dementia) in patients due to aging (geriatric patients).
- Loss of comprehension of words due to brain damage (called aphasia).
- Spinal cord injuries and other neurological conditions.
- Swallowing difficulties (dysphagia).
- Voice disorders and difficulty in articulating words due to central nervous system disease (dysarthria).
Columbia Asia Hospitals provides comprehensive physiotherapy assessment and treatment in the comfort and convenience of your own home. The hospital offers physiotherapy services to people of all ages who want to improve their physical and mental function and attain independent living. Physiotherapy does help manage your pain, improve your motor function and balance, enable you to regain your strength, provide you independent living following an illness, injury, surgery or a fall. The hospital provides services to patients in their own homes and offers treatment that is tailored to the patient's individual goals.
Rehabilitation Services
Physiotherapy led rehabilitation or physical rehabilitation is a clinically and cost effective intervention for those patients whose life has been adversely changed by injury, illness or disease and quality of live and activities of daily living is grossly affected.
Physical rehabilitation aims to optimise patient function and well-being, and helps the patient get back to mainstream life, doing as much as possible, what he was doing prior to illness. Whether at home, work or leisure, a person wishes to be independent to perform at least his routine activities without depending on anyone. Rehabilitation thus focuses on changes to functional disability and lifestyle restrictions based on the patient's own goals for functional improvement. In most cases, physiotherapy led rehabilitation helps a patient regain strength to resume all functions or relearn skills or finding new ways of doing things to optimize the quality of life.
Rehabilitation is used for recovery from injury or disease and also for the management of long-term conditions (e.g. Parkinsons, stroke, multiple sclerosis etc.,).
Rehabilitation should start as soon as possible to speed recovery. The programs that combine many different components are likely to be most effective.
19 minutes of additional exercise a day in an acute or rehabilitation setting is all that is required to achieve:
- Improved mobility and activity levels
- Shorter length of stay in hospital
- Significantly improved quality of life
- Physical therapy helps to regain strength, mobility and fitness
- Occupational therapy to be able to perform daily activities
- Speech – language therapy to improve speaking, reading, writing and swallowing
- Treatment of pain and inflammation
Depends on:
- Age
- Type of underlying problem
- Goals set
Common conditions in elderly needing rehabilitative care include:
- Stroke
- Heart attacks
- Hip fracture
- Limb amputation
- Parkinson's disease
- Physically inactive
- Heart related problems
- Weak muscles, bones and joints
- Dementia
- Depression or other mental issues
- Problems of balance and co-ordination

In a move away from their more traditional work, McEwen Boilermakers recently completed the fabrication and installation of large riveted steel plate oven fascias in two of TV chef Jamie Oliver's prestigious restaurants in London and Brighton.
While oven fascias are not exactly the kind of work you would expect a boilermaker to undertake, company director Alasdair McEwen explains how McEwen's proved the perfect choice for the job: "We were contacted by Du Boulay Contracts Ltd, who were fitting out Jamie Oliver's Italian restaurant in Brighton. They informed us that Jamie had requested a traditional riveted steel plate fascia for the wood burning pizza oven and wondered if it was something we could fabricate.
"I initially sent them some pictures, including one of an old Lancashire Boiler frontplate that I have installed in my kitchen at home, which was exactly the type of fascia they were looking for."
Alasdair then visited the site to survey the job before work began back in North Yorkshire to fabricate the riveted steel fascia. The work was completed and installed on schedule and uniquely finished with the addition of McEwen's own Boilermaker's cast brass nameplate for added authenticity.
"Although I never actually met Jamie," Alasdair explains, "the contractor told me that he thought it looked fantastic, and this led to the second commission at his new restaurant in London."
The chef himself mentions the kitchen on his website, saying: "Wonderful fresh fish and fabulous daily specials cooked in our wood burning oven make Brighton a unique addition to Jamie Oliver's Italian restaurant family."
After completing the project in Brighton, work began on a much larger wall and oven fascia plate for Jamie Oliver and American chef Adam Perry Lang's new Barbecoa Restaurant, opposite St Pauls in central London. The collaboration of the two famous chefs draws on traditional cooking techniques from around the world in creating what is a celebration of the relationship between fire and food.
At an early stage of the new restaurant project McEwen's visited the site to take careful dimensions of the wall spaces that were to be covered, before submitting design concepts to the contractor. Once those designs were approved, fabrication began, including the use of real steel rivets and the rendering of the steel plate work with a traditional boilermaker's surface finish.
The completed fascia was delivered to the restaurant and installed as a central feature of the open kitchen on view to diners. The two chefs behind the restaurant designed the kitchen together and claim it is "the beating heart of the restaurant". It features tandoor ovens, fire pits and Texan smokers, all encased by McEwen Boilermaker's stylish steel fascia, allowing the chefs to "create dishes that truly show off the depth of flavours that smoke, fire and charcoal can bring to food".
Alasdair is justifiably proud of the work the company has done for Jamie Oliver: "It was a big change from our normal work, which in itself made it an interesting project. While the fabrication is fairly straightforward it was a totally different experience overall, and one which I hope we'll be able to repeat in the future."

"According to preliminary data, the fall in the prices of dwellings in old blocks of flats and in terraced houses accelerated in the last quarter of 2008.
Compared to the previous quarter, dwelling prices fell by 3.8 per cent in the whole country, by 3.5 per cent in Greater Helsinki and by 4.0 per cent elsewhere in the country. The number of dwelling transactions diminished clearly toward the end of the year.
Compared to the corresponding period of the year before, the number of transactions fell by 40 per cent in the whole country and by some 50 per cent in Greater Helsinki.", Statistics Finland, 30 January 2009.
Price downturn has accelerated which should not be a surprise. My baseline scenario is still valid, see this link HousinK.
Housing deterioration has always been during an economical deterioration and rising unemployment.
I will just want to highlight the fact that psychology will play a big role at some point. We haven't yet reach this level.
Some Empirical Analysis
Prices have build some premium during the past 10 years amid ever rising prices which I will call Euphoria premium which range from 5%-10%, then price should reflect the current and forward economical and demographic environment which is about 15% to 20% lower and can be tagged as economical premium, finally the psychological premium which will add a downward pressure of about 5%-10%.
Overall, a correction due to the following empirical formula :
Euphoria premium+Economical Impact+Psychological Premium = (min=25%, max=40%)
This will bring us from Top to Down in the "Housing Statistic Finland" chart from Top=180 to DownMin=145 , DownMax= 110.
The lower minimum will bring us to level of 2000, but there is a risk that housing price could go to 1997 level which is as well the level reach in 1987.
Updated Analysis
(Click To Zoom)
One has to remember that we are witnessing an global economic deterioration that is worse than the two recent recession of 2001 and 1990.
When housing prices correction starts, it does so in a very slow motion. Usually it takes between 3-5 years to end the correction (based in past correction, and which is somehow what is observed in the U.S.), but in some cases, mainly Japan and Germany, it can take more than 15 years. So 25% in period of 4 years means about 6% per year which is 1.5% per quarter. Of course at the beginning of the correction, the downward correction is fast, which is what we observe in the past quarter - a 4% correction.
This correction can be accelerated if price fall and inflation surge, which is not my scenario. House price falling has been associated with deflation or disenflation.
Buyer are in a stronger position than in the past decade. They have time to choose and strenght to negotiate good prices.
Buyer will have to buy with in mind that inflation in the next decade could quite easely be over 8%, so debt should take that into account as well as trying to reduce the length of the loan to around 15 years.
Buyer should wait, if possible, and enter in the market from 2011. There is a rational behind this date. First, in 2 years time we will know clearly if government and policy actions have succeeded. Second house price will approach their bottom.
Buyer situation has to be taken into account. If you have a good financial position, then today is already a good time for finding good opportunity and negotiate good prices.
Seller will change their attitude slowly, an almost two decade growth have anchored so strongly expectation of growth. So change of attitude will be slow but will happen. This will mean that the downward correction won't be linear as some resistance will be expected.

Chug It is located across the whole 2nd floor at the main golf course road of Punjabi Bagh area and one can quite frankly guess that it doesn't enjoy either an easy competition here. With amazing alternatives already available in the area, the competition has been a lot rough for it but somehow this place has been able to deliver good business. The main USP of this place has been the quality, variety and taste of the food served here with some amazing drinks to go along. Though the place has been done up really nice, there are few things that make you feel the place has been little old. Still properly managed with a gig stage and a big bar right in the middle.
My experience here was somewhat like this.
Chilly Chicken – One of my personal favorites, Chilly Chicken was perfect in terms of taste, flavor, spiciness and quantity. I was really happy to actually order this starter and it did stood up to my expectations for a perfect one. A must have!
Peri Peri Chicken Skewers – The skewers were nicely marinated and further grilled to perfection. The touch of peri peri sauce on top gave it a great kick in terms of flavor and spiciness. Served with lettuce & cherry tomato salad with nice dip, this dish was really good.
Dahi ke Kebab – The only dish that disappointed me during this meal was my ever-favorite 'Dahi ke Kebabs', as the chef had actually tried to sauté them instead of deep fry as they are supposed to be. The manager later explained the concept of making it healthy by not frying it, but the whole concept of the perfect dish was kind of lost as the whole kebab kept falling apart.
Chicken Platter – The platters usually come in handy when you can't decide what to order and after lot of debate with my friend, so did we settle with one. The platter consisted of 'chicken wings', 'chicken tikka' and 'drums of heaven'. Where the chicken wings and chicken tikka had amazingly marinated chicken, the taste of drums of heaven was somewhat odd and it seemed dry.
Chicken Khurchan – A very similar dish to kadhai chicken sauté in amazing spices with different vegetables like onions, tomatoes and capsicum and garnished with ginger. A perfect dish for mains is a must have and goes really well with Indian breads.
Dal Makhani – A nicely prepared dal with generous amount of butter and cream is always a must have for the mains. The one served here didn't disappoint us either and I was really impressed with the taste.
BBQ Chicken Tikka Burger – A huge burger with generous use of lots of veggies and cheese with an amazingly succulent chicken patty was surely a delight. Served with potato wedges and salad on side, this is a must try here.
Michelada – A beer and tequila based 'beer cocktail' had a very strong kick in every sip, only because of use of lots of spices and chilly tobacco sauce. This drink is HOT and really hard to resist when started drinking.
Oreo Shake & Brownie Shake (separate) – The shakes were thick with perfect sweetness levels and generous quantity. Chilled to perfection, every sip was refreshing.
Beers – Enough said!
Brownie Ice Cream – Probably one of the biggest brownies I have ever noticed served in a dessert. Though it was little on the dry side but the moisture and sweetness from the vanilla ice cream and chocolate syrup kept everything in perfect check.
Finally I would happily rate this place a 4/5 for the amazing food, taste, quantity, staff service and cut remaining for the few flaws with the dishes.

The speed at which manufacturing companies go to market is dramatically increasing and changing the traditional manufacturing model. Customers expect to be able to research and purchase a manufacturer's product online as well as locate a store or authorized distributor quickly and easily. Distribution companies want to be able to place online orders with their negotiated pricing. And sales teams want access to detailed product and customer account information from anywhere. Manufacturers are realizing that they must function more intelligently, efficiently and collaboratively to meet the growing expectations of connected and empowered customers. Ecommerce is being looked at as a way for them to achieve these goals cost effectively.
Join us, along with Manufacturing.net, on November 5th for a webinar discussing these trends and why Ecommerce is becoming a necessity in manufacturing. I'll be joined by a panel of Ecommerce experts to discuss and offer perspectives on:
Date: Tuesday, November 5, 2013

Learn and recover eco-friendly homes on Airbnb. Oh the adventure and comfort of travelling! It broadens our minds, soothes our bodies and souls and allows us to develop. Unfortunately traveling does not make the planet quite so happy. The hotel industry alone accounts for 60 million tons of CO2 emissions annually, largely due to the industrial style wastefulness of hotels. From the caustic solvents and detergents to inefficient heating and cooling, the traditional hotel is no friend to the ecosystems around it. Fear not, however, as The Green Line's travel and lifestyle team have put together some fabulous eco-friendly homes from our friends over at AirBnB!
AirBnB has been cited by the United Nation's conference on climate change as an extremely effective way to contribute to green house gas emission reductions. Residential houses are largely more efficiently built than the vast majority of hotels. Managing small scale guest turnover allows your hosts to more carefully manage their environmental practices.
With AirBnB you can find vacation spots too inaccessible or private for large scale hotels making a unique vacation for you and your loved ones. If you are an eco-friendly home geek, you can search on AirBnB exclusively for eco-friendly homes. So without further delay, let's see where we're off to next!
Eco-Friendly Homes on the Irish Countryside
Starting in the Emerald Isles, this beautiful apartment in modernized farm style is available for your agro-tourism pleasure. Located on a working organic farm in Glenties Co. Donegal, it's complete with farm shop and verdant green fields, and the eco-mandate to live up to its surroundings!
Features include:
Underfloor heating and hot water for the household created by a wood gasifier using Timber sourced from the farm's own managed forests. Ecological cleaning and personal hygiene products are used and provided for guests, as well as a waste sorting system in place to reduce landfill. Ingredients for meals are largely local and seasonal, and ingredients to cook in the apartments are available from the farm shop.
Eco-Friendly and High tech Amsterdam houseboat
Moving further into Europe we find this beautiful contemporary eco-home in the cultural mecca of Amsterdam. This jewel of The Netherlands is known to be one of the greenest cities in the world, from it's signature bicycle culture to the tulips in spring, and this clean-lined beauty will keep you staying in that groove. The glass clad houseboat allows for you to swim and sleep in one of Amsterdam's quintessential canals all in a euro-spa chic residence. The hosts pride themselves on eco-friendly management practices from energy and water usage, to only using green household products. The hot water is provided courtesy of solar power and the entire home is temperature regulated using a differential heating and cooling system!
Venice Beach Home with an Eco-Friendly Green Twist
From European canals to the trendy waterways of tinsel town, this Venice California home puts you right in the heart of mainstream green. From trendy vegan restaurants and organic cafe's to surfing at Venice Beach, this is the place to be. The charming deco-era arts-and-crafts bungalow will provide a quiet oasis from which to base. Your host is committed to using organic linens and non-toxic cleaning and care products, ensuring a healthy stay you'll cherish.
Explore the Canadian Rockies off-grid
Getting away from it all can be tricky, but this final destination will give you all the privacy that nature can provide! Nestled on 40 private acres in Duncan, British Columbia, big skies, mountains and forests are all at your doorstep and make up your panoramic views! What better way to experience it than in an earth construction off-the-grid gem! From hiking and exploring the beautiful Canadian wilderness to just cozying up by the fire, this is the place to be. Aside from being off-the grid, ecological cleaners and personal products are the name of the game at this incredible green home, so you can feel just as balanced inside as the views are out your windows.
From forests and trees to cities and beaches find your next eco-getaway over at AirBnB today!

Marketed to climbers and hikers, I read about the PowerTrekk fuel cell charge in an AP News story and thought of dirt riders, tourers too.
The fuel cell inside PowerTrekk is a completely passive system. Without fans or pumps, the fuel cell silently converts hydrogen into electricity via its Proton Exchange Membrane.
The chemistry process is safe, controllable and eco-friendly, and the only bi-product from the fuel cell is a little water vapor. To operate, hydrogen must be supplied to the fuel cell, and the fuel cell must be exposed to the open air.
How it Works
Powertrekk – How it works from PowerTrekk on Vimeo.
I didn't see dimensions on PowerTrekk's site and it looks to big for a jersey pocket, but would attach to a tube or toss it into a pannier, saddlebag, or pack. Also learned that the fuel cell is distributed by Industrial Rev in Redmond, Wa. That's an hour bike ride away from Hugga HQ. I already pinged them for a sample. Also asking about pricing.

Vista Outdoor, the owner of bike brands, Bell, Blackburn, Giro, CamelBak, Raskullz, Krashco, Copilot and Bollé, has decided to sell the majority of its bike industry holdings.
Bell, Blackburn, Giro, Raskullz, Krashco and Copilot are to be sold. Vista Outdoors will, however, retain CamelBak. Vista reports that a sale of eyewear maker Bollé is already in the works and it plans to sell its other optics brands, Cebe and Serengetti.
CEO Chris Metz announced during an investor conference call that the company would also sell its two firearms brands, Savage and Stevens, so that it could return to a "laser focus on its target consumer." The upshot is that its strategy to expand out of ammunition in an effort to diversify and stabilize its revenue stream has been cast aside in an effort to return to its original strategy.
During the call Metz claimed that the company had been on the path to sell the bike brands before the Parkland shooting and the resulting boycott. According to Metz, REI represented less than 1 percent of Vista Outdoor's total sales, so the falloff, he claims, didn't hurt much; he also stated that while some other retailers sided with REI, there were others that stepped up and said they wanted to take advantage of the situation.
Despite Metz' statements to the contrary, I can't help but believe that the boycott had an effect. And of the many effects the boycott could have had, I'll say that this is the best possible one, and also the one I thought was least likely. As I wrote previously, my concern was that good and talented people would be laid off as a result of a falloff in sales. And some of that did happen; some people have been laid off from Bell. I'm just grateful far more people didn't lose their jobs.
Whether or not Vista Outdoors was on a path to shed their bike brands, it's reasonable to conclude that the company was unwilling to make any announcement in the immediate aftermath of the shooting, lest it appear that they were cowed by public pressure. The only thing worse than a PR black eye is an investor black eye. Losing face to investors was the one outcome they couldn't risk, which I believe is why two months passed before they announced a decision the CEO says was already in the works.
It would be pretty two-faced of me to do an about-face and tell the world how well the boycott worked. I think the bike industry got relatively lucky here, and that the outcome could have been really ugly. It's a situation I sincerely hope we don't encounter again, but I'm grateful that Vista will sell the companies. The real opportunity here is to find owners for those brands that will invest in them and give them a chance to do their jobs well.

"laser focus on its target consumer" heh heh …
"The real opportunity here is to find owners for those brands that will invest in them and give them a chance to do their jobs well."
I fully agree with this in particular and this entire post in general. I have the best of wishes for all of the formerBell employees that they find better employment going forward. Looking forward to reinvigorated, innovative products from these brands as their new owners invest in them. Without such investment, I fear for their long-term viability.
They're good brands and will find better owners. Good luck to them.
I appreciate your opinion and follow your recommendations frequently. Bell was the leader in helmets of all types (not just cycling), developed head protection technologies and set the bar very high for eons. So, I accept that Bell's helmets are exceptional. With investment, I'm certain that we will see more energy and renewed innovation from them going forward.
I wonder if Bell and Giro will be packaged together in the sale or sold separately.
Barry Adam Johnson
In the Salt Lake Tribune it was reported they are selling off their ammunition lines. Sort of like the opposite of what I'm reading here.
So, this is a stressful time at those companies. Being sold brings instability and change. Always a challenge. I hope they make it through to a successful transfer.
Lot of MBA-speak in that press release. Sounds like they're in deep debt and need to sell the bicycle-related companies because the boycott is cutting sales to the point sales can't support the debt.
As for my Giro helmet/glove/shoe purchase not supporting their firearms lobbying efforts, that's simply not so. Income from across the subsidiaries contribute to the same bottom line. They can spend $500,000 on gun promotion because they are taking in cash from bicycle gear sales and gun/ammo sales.
Richard Sachs
When the story was a story ?? months ago, I decided to stay with and by Giro because I've been a fan since Day One, and the people there always treated me well, and respectfully. I was not going to sever relationships despite the dots that were being connected this past winter.
Although REI was said to represent approximately 1% of Vista sales fallout from the bad press from the boycott resulted in greater liability.

Valentines Play Dough Sensory Play
Simple Homemade Valentines Play Dough
Cookie Making, Fine Motor Play, Pre-Writing
Quick and easy Valentines play dough! We use homemade play dough all year round! One fine snowy day, I told Liam I was going to make a new play dough activity for us. I asked him what color he wanted and he said pink! Perfect because I had just gathered some Valentine's Day craft supplies. I made our Valentines play dough activity using this favorite, no cook recipe from The Imagination Tree. So easy and quick. I will never cook it again! I set out my favorite tray with lots of different goodies for creating and exploring with our Valentines play dough. Play dough is one of our favorite sensory play recipes!
Valentines Play Dough Tray Supplies
This Valentines play dough activity tray has legos, heart cookie cutters, acrylic craft store hearts, buttons, glitter, heart shaped toothpicks, and XO tiles and stampers. I also set out a cookie sheet and heart shaped candy mold (quickly discarded but your child might enjoy it). He got started right away with the cookie making. He leaned over and said, I have a secret; these are Valentine's Day cookies for Santa. I gave him free range with a small jar of glitter and we made a tray of cookies.
Fine motor skills work with heart shaped toothpicks was fun too!
Our Valentines play dough activity tray kept evolving! Afterwards he said he wanted to make a big pile on the cookie sheet, so we undid the cookies and piled all the play dough on the tray. His goal was to push it out flat. What great work and sensory input for little hands. I helped him a bit but he roled and pushed and smooshed it all around and then got to work with his tools.
We enjoyed one more fun twist to our Valentines play dough activity tray! We turned over the flat sheet of play dough to a smooth side. We pressed hearts into the surface and took chopsticks to make our way around the "maze". He spent quite a while using the chopsticks and making all kinds of lines and marks.

The first Windows Phone 7 devices go on sale today (Oct. 21) in Europe. Walt Mossberg, possibly the most famous gadget reviewer, just published a review of Windows Phone 7. His headline for the review is already telling that he is not too enthusiastic about Microsoft's new mobile operating system. "Microsoft's New Windows Phone 7: Novel But Lacking."
Mr. Mossberg has been testing the Samsung Focus on AT&T and the HTC HD7 on T-Mobile. He focused in his review on the new Windows Phone 7 operating system and not on the phone hardware. He definitely likes the novel user interface of Windows Phone 7. He says though that Microsoft left out important features to be able to compete with the iPhone and Android phone that include copy and paste, visual voicemail, multitasking of third-party apps, and the ability to do video calling and to use the phone to connect other devices to the Internet.
Additionally the Windows Phone 7 app store is only offering 1,000 compared to the 300,000 the iPhone app store is offering today.
At the end Walt Mossberg is not recommending the Windows Phone 7 phones. He sees value only for Xbox Live gamers and Microsoft SharePoint users. Read the full review on the Wall Street Journal. More Windows Phone 7 Reviews.
I still think Microsoft will have a great sales start with Windows Phone 7, because of the attractive user interface. Microsoft just needs to keep the ball rolling and release a major feature update to Windows Phone 7 in Spring 2011 to keep up the momemtum.

Regional security meeting to take place in Liberia
MONROVIA,LIBERIA-A Regional Security Meeting of Chiefs of Defense Staff in the ECOWAS Sub- Region is expected to take place in Liberia from September 6 to the 8 ,2017.
Liberia's Chief of Staff, Daniel Ziankan, said the Regional Security Meeting will focus on the multi-national Maritime center operationalization and the joint task force within the Chadian Basin.
He said the meeting is the 37th session of the ECOWAS Chief of Defense Staff.
The Multinational Maritime Center is aimed at taking appropriate measures to eliminate Boko haram militants.
Addressing the Ministry of Information regular Press briefing Thursday, General Ziakan urged the public not to panic over the presence of military officers who will be seen along the Sinkor route in the wake of the military conference.
General Ziakan also said the gathering will look into issues of regional security.
The AFL Chief of Staff called on Liberians not to politicize the meeting in the wake of the elections in October.
The Liberian Chief of Defense Staff who has been the head of Chief of Defense Staff in in West Africa also disclosed that he is expected to shortly relinquish the position to the Chief of Defense Staff of Togo, whose president is the Head of ECOWAS.
In another development, The Ministry of National Defense says it will ensure that Armed Forces of Liberia plays a neutral role during 2017 Elections.
AFL Chief of Staff, Daniel Ziakan said officers of the AFL have been warned to abide by the Military Code of Conduct.
The AFL, according to General Ziakan, will remain neutral in its engagement with the process as it strives to buttress the efforts of the Liberia National Police in providing national security.
General Ziakan said officers of the AFL have been warned against political activities.
He said: "As part of measures to keep the national army neutral during the 2017 Elections, no vehicle belonging to the AFL will be allowed to bear stickers any political party."
General Ziakan further noted that the National Army remains active in Timbuktu, Mali but will not be rotating troops this year due to its priority of the elections in Liberia.
He also dispelled allegations about neglect of an AFL personal who was wounded in Mali.
Chief of Staff Ziakan said the officer in question is currently in India responding to treatment.
General Ziakan made the statement Thursday when he addressed the MICAT weekly briefing.

One week after the lab... The Hunt for my second CCIE
How would you feel if you are a CCIE, but, not proficient enough in switching, IGP routing? Don't know details about IPv6 and not sure of how some of the IOS features works? I am sure it doesn't feel good and so do i.
Actually and initially, i was planning to go for R&S first. But, my good friend Sai convinced me to go for SP first with him. I was like, ok, i am working in an ISP, i will have a study mate (which i realized really good to have one) if i go for SP and SP also covers more that 50% of R&S topics. So, what the hack.. let''s do SP. That was how i became a SP candidate.. Pretty lame, isn't it?
5 comments:
Haha, anyway I am still trying to complete.ReplyDelete
ohhh..i'm glad that you next step is RS...ReplyDelete
I kinda agree. When you go throgh Jeff Doyle's books (e.g.), you feel like you're not exploiting a particular technology to its fullest in the SP track, specially IGP or BGP. However, obviously you do stuff that the R&S guys can only dream about :) Anyways, your choice makes sense and you can always afterwards do the JNCIE if you're still seeking further specialization.ReplyDelete
Be the force be with you!!!
BTW, I love your blog and I'll be applying it to my SP lab preparation.
Thanks dude.. (i guess you must be a guy). so, when are you planning for SP attempt.ReplyDelete

Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others. In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature[a] God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature[b] of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death— even death on a cross! Philippians 2:3-8
In the past weeks we have been talking about LOVE. Although it is enough to just know and understand what love is. WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. But are we doing something about it? We cannot profess to love God and love people, if we are not willing to do something about it. Our love has to be translated into action. Our salvation should be expressed in action and not remain as lip service. We have to start putting our faith into action. It has to start with us. It has to start today.
We are all works in progress that is true, but the question is: Is our progress really progressing or have we plateaued? Our prayers then should be "Lord help us see where we are and help us see what we are missing". Let us not be content to stay where we are, content to be stagnant in our spiritual growth, and become complacent in what we call "a work in progress". Let us strive to see progress in the work being made in us. Let our love for God translate into obedience to His word, so that His work in us may become evident in our lives.
So how do we DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT?
Philippians 2:14-15 says Do all things without grumbling or disputing, so that you will prove yourselves to be blameless and innocent, children of God above reproach in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you appear as lights in the world"
DO, is an action word. It encourages us into action. This verse reminds us that if refrain from grumbling and disputing then we will become blameless and innocent, then other people will see our light. People will see the difference in us and then we can become like magnets attracting people to God. And if we can live out our faith, if our salvation becomes evident in our life then people will know that we are disciples of the Lord Jesus (John 13:35) because of our love for one another. It is when the transformation is applied into our lives, then God is honored and He is pleased.
The sad truth is many are lost and are still looking for answers to life's questions… they live their lives in quiet desperation because they have not found love. They have not found God's love. The irony of this is that they present a façade of being unloving when in fact, they are screaming for love. Our normal response is to despise them and turn away from them, but the love of God compels us to do otherwise. The love of God compels us to love not only the lovable but the unlovable as well. We have been commanded to love others as we love ourselves.
Often times we are content to stand in the sidelines because we say we don't know how do anything about it. But actually the answer is simple — Be Discipled. Become Accountable. And do this INTENTIONALLY. We should continue to the process of being, the process of growing, and enjoying Christ-likeness.
Romans 8:28-29 And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. For those whom he foreknew, He also predestined to become conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brethren.
This is God's ultimate purpose for us. That we become conformed into the image and likeness of His Son. If this is so, then the process starts with Intentional Discipleship and Accountability. This then will be followed by growth and maturity as we become more Christ-like. The result of this is that we will be able to love God in the way that He has commanded — with all our heart, our minds, our souls and our strength . . . And we will be able to love others. This is when we can be witnesses to the good that God can do in our lives.
We have been designed, created and saved for this. . . CHRIST-LIKENESS. We should not be ignorant of this purpose. We should not be blind to this purpose.
Unfortunately when we are not aware of this purpose, we begin to pursue other purposes. Then our everything in our life will be leading to a wrong purpose. What then will happen if we use our lives for other purposes other than what we were created for? We will malfunction and eventually we will get destroyed. We may also cause other complications and even collateral damages.
What then is Christ-likeness? This is an important question we should ask. We cannot grow into Christ-likeness if we do not know and understand what it is. Philippians 2:1-8 tells us exactly what Christ-likeness is: Selflessness. Humility.
There are no shortcuts in the process. There is no easy road. We have to be willing to be subjected to molding and transforming in the Potter's hand. We have to be intentionally working to be accountable and to be continually discipled by godly people.
And this process begins with accepting Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior. It cannot begin if you are not born again. . . if your heart does not belong to Jesus. . . If you are not truly a child of God.
Remember it is a process. A continual process of accountability and discipleship. It may not be an easy process but the results are incomparable. This is God's ultimate purpose for us — to be conformed to His Son, Jesus. If we allow ourselves to be transformed into His image, we will bring honor to God and He will be pleased with us. And when He is pleased with us then He will be with us and we will feel His unmistakable presence in our lives.

ROCKY MOUNT, N.C. -- The Pfeiffer men's basketball team was absolutely on fire on Saturday afternoon, torching N.C. Wesleyan 132-76. The Falcons buried a team-record 23 3-pointers on the night, led by a career-high nine by Blake Smith who finished with 27 points.
Smith, last week's ECAC South Rookie of the Week, missed time earlier in the season but is rounding into form as the regular season nears a conclusion. The freshman hit five threes in the first half and followed up with four more in the final 20 minutes.
Josh Calhoun added 24 points and knocked down four triples, while point guard Brian Harper had a career-high 10 boards. Jevon Patton (14), Eric Ambrosio (13) and Josiah Avington (10) all scored in double figures for Pfeiffer who topped 130 points for the second time this season.
With 329 3-pointers on the season, this Falcons squad ranks third in program history.
Defensively, Pfeiffer held N.C. Wesleyan to 34.9 percent shooting and just 21 percent from behind the arc.
The Battling Bishops entered play with a 13-3 record in USA South action and are the East Division Champions.
Pfeiffer had a 43-9 advantage in points off turnovers and its biggest lead of the night was 59 points.
Pfeiffer returns home on Sunday to take on Ferrum in a makeup of January's game that was snowed out. It is the second game of a three-game in three day stretch.

As part of its Science and Engineering Education Initiative, the Council on Science & Technology (CST) seeks to expand the number of science and engineering-related courses available to non-science and engineering majors. 2012-2013 was the first year that students could satisfy an ST requirement either with a course with a laboratory component (STL) or a non-laboratory course (STN). We welcome the opportunity to collaborate with faculty to create and fund new courses in the STN and STL categories. STN courses should focus on critical/timely science topics and teach rigorous science concepts as well as instill in students an appreciation of the relevance and excitement of science. STN courses may focus on a single discipline or they can be inter-disciplinary. They must be of wide interest to non-STEM students and will hopefully also hold appeal as electives for STEM majors. CST has funds to initiate qualified courses and will provide science teaching specialists to help develop content and integrate research-based teaching methods and learning goals into course design.
The Council is open to suggestions from students, faculty and staff as to the types of courses in science and engineering that would be of interest to undergraduates and would better prepare students for life as citizens, voters, and leaders of our nation.

If our footballers continue to search through their inconsistency for silverware then not so England's rugby supermen.
Their Grand Slam hoodoo was smashed to smithereens along with Ireland in Dublin with their best performance of the season - an awesome 42-6 scoreline.
The dread was a fourth last-day defeat in the past five years but England literally blew away Irish optimism.
This was an occasion for the golden oldies like Martin Johnson, Jason Leonard, Neil Back, Matt Dawson, Graham Rowntree and Lawrence Dallaglio to gain a Grand Slam which would confirm and cement their position in England's history.
That they did it so comprehensively no doubt only added to their joy, given England often have plenty of detractors even in victory.
But it was one of the younger generation, Newcastle Falcons' Jonny Wilkinson (pictured) who was named man of the match with two right-footed dropped goals, three conversions, a penalty and huge first-half hits when England faced the wind and a fresh Ireland.
How delighted are we to claim him on our patch.
Now all you have to do, Jonny, is make certain the Falcons stay in the Premiership and the season is yours!

Here are some of my notes from tonight's Understanding Islam seminar lead by Kevin H. The audio of the seminar on CD will be available Sunday in the foyer. Kevin covered much more than what I've included here, but the following will help you understand how Islam came about and the different sects of Islam. The most important fact I heard tonight was this: In the last 50-60 years the number of Muslims who have come to faith in Christ is more than the number who have come to Christ in all of history before the mid-1900s. Missions to Muslims is working!
Islam began in the Saudi Peninsula in the 6th Century. Muhammad was born is 570AD. Soon afterwards, both parents died. He was raised by a wealthy uncle and family.
At age of 12, his uncle took him on a business trip and they met with a Syrian Christian monk. The monk spoke a prophecy over Muhammad. He said that Muhammad would be a great man of God.
In 595AD, he married a wealthy business woman. She had Christian relatives.
In 610AD, at the age of 40, Muhammad went to caves outside Mecca to pray and meditate. While there, he felt a presence in the cave. He heard a voice say to him in Arabic to "recite." He's terrified.
He claims he was given words by God to recite – these words are later recorded in the 96th chapter of the Quran.
His wife comforts him in his fear and tells him to talk to her Christian cousin. The cousin says that Muhammad was visited by the same angel that visited the Virgin Mary. What would have happened if Muhammad had been given better instruction that day?
He becomes slowly convinced that God is speaking to him, and the basic message in those early years is, "You're bad. God is good. Tell him you're sorry."
Most family and friends reject him. He found himself unpopular and unprotected because his uncles had died.
In 622AD, he is invited to Medina to share about the messages he has received, and a small community forms around him and his religious ideas. This is considered Year One by Muslims. Their calendar starts here.
He becomes wildly popular in Medina, but he has his sights set on Mecca. In 629AD, he and his followers from Medina march on Mecca. Mecca knows they're outnumbered, so leaders from Mecca ask him to come back a year later and they'll welcome him.
He comes back in 630AD with his followers, and Mecca lets him in. He and his followers go to a religious site called the Kaaba to clean out all of the religious symbols. They clear out everything except for – interestingly – a picture of Mary and Jesus. This shows that Muhammad saw Jesus as important to his new religion. However, the Kaaba today does not contain any pictures of Jesus.
Muhammad dies in 632AD and appoints no leader to take over. Later, his followers write down his words and put them into a book called the Quran. This book and the way in which he lived became the standard for Islam.
BELIEFS AND PRACTICES (5 Pillars)
Creeds: "There is no God but Allah and his prophet Muhammad," etc.
Worship: Muslims pray up to 50 times a day, "Guide me to the straight path." Kevin believes that God is answering those prayers when He brings Muslims into the lives of Christians. Christians should be ready to share Jesus with them when God brings them into their lives.
Fasting: Ramadan – no food or drink from sun up to sun down for one month.
Alms: Giving of a certain percentage. Usually 2.5%.
Pilgrimage: If one has the means, they are to take a pilgrimage to Mecca once in their lifetime.
Sunni: Authority is in the Quran alone, but most Muslims don't understand the Quran because it's in Arabic, and most Muslims don't speak Arabic.
Shia: Authority is in the Quran, but the decisions about the Quran are made by leaders in the line of Ali, who they say was appointed by Muhammad upon his death to lead.
Sufi: More experiential in their practices. Focus on meditative practices and mystical union with God.
Spiritists/Folk Islam: Use spells and incantations in their daily practices. Reliance on magic to get ahead or to get rid of bad lifestyle practices.
The Sword (Jihad): Muhammad led battles when he was alive. Some were defensive, but some were offensive – to advance Islam using the sword. These battles justify this sect of Muslims to fight. Al Qaida, ISIS, etc.

Budget a bit tight? Why splurge, when you can steal a great look for less? There is no need to blow your budget on expensive clothing when fashionable items can be found for less at stores such as Sears. I was provided a gift certificate to pick out an outfit and I was rather happy with the choices that I encountered.
It has been awhile since I shopped at Sears. In my college days, I used to shop Sears quite a bit for their decent selection of affordable items. Sears always kept an eye out for trends and stayed up to date on fashion, making them a favorite choice of mine. But over time, as my income increased, I tended to overlook Sears in favor of other, more expensive options. Going back to do some shopping there showed me that Sears is still doing quite well in the fashion department. The UK Style by French Connection collection and the Kardashian Kollection in particular had a number of unique and interesting items. Sears is also a decent choice for petite basics, something that I need, given that I am 5 feet, 2 inches tall!
I picked up two outfits, one to feature here and the other to feature on Girl Gloss. I was happy to find most of the items on sale. The below outfit features petite pants by Apostrophe ($19.98), a very comfortable sweater from the Kardashian Kollection that has an interesting cutout pattern along the sleeve ($34.99), and a Kardashian Kollection belt ($20). The complete outfit was right around $75. I particularly love the belt with this. It is comfortable, stretchy, and it works well to hide some bulges that I am more than happy to hide!
Each item in this outfit will work well with other clothing items that I already own, and they also match up well with the items I purchased to feature on Girl Gloss. I noted while shopping that the both the Kardashian Kollection and the UK Style by French Connection Collection had stylish items that mixed and matched together quite well. I wanted to grab shoes for the outfit, and Sears had a great selection, but I have ridiculously tiny size 4 to size 5 feet, so I was out of luck there. But that is nothing new for me. I am accustomed to shopping specialty stores for shoes in my size! One additional note: The Kardashian Kollection also has a nice selection of affordable handbags in a number of sizes.
Overall, this was a fun shopping trip that resulted in some nice finds for not all that much money. If you are looking for some affordable fashion, head on over to Sears and take a look.
Disclosures: I was provided a Sears gift card through Glam Media in order to complete the purchases for this post. No monetary compensation was provided by Sears or Glam Media for this post. The opinions expressed herein are those of the author and are not indicative of the opinions or positions of Sears.
