It was my pleasure helping my buyers secure this beautiful split foyer in Kemp Mill, a subdivision in Silver Spring, MD. This is one of the larger split foyer models in the neighborhood with both a main level dining room and living room (which also makes a good main level recreation space). In addition, this home features a large walkout basement.
This home is in a fantastic location, very close to the local Kemp Mill Shopping Center as well as other nearby supermarkets and malls. As far as recreation, there are parks nearby. This also makes for a great commuter home, being near a local public bus stop, a few minutes away from the Wheaton Red Line Metro Stop and close to Route 495 - easy to commute within MD, to Washington, DC and Virginia.
The buyers had specific wants and needs, and I was fortunately able to negotiate a good deal for them. The home was on the market for just over 2 weeks and had a pretty active open house.
Whenever you are thinking of moving or know of someone who is thinking of moving, I would love to meet, discuss wants and needs and take them through a smooth buying/selling process. It would be my pleasure to hear from you any time you or your family, friends have a real estate question or you want to know about the market activity in your neighborhood, other areas.
Call me: (301)943-4370 or Email me: firstname.lastname@example.com
Thank you!

I am currently in Week Two of three weeks off, and as usual, the time seems to fill up almost without my participation. The time so far has been spent at meetings, an art festival, a birthday party, an overnight visit from out-of-state friends and this week there will be a doctor appointment, a shopping trip, and an out-of-town shower. On top of that, my car battery has died and I will need to get that taken care of.
I had hoped to have time for things like organizing my closet, photographs, computer files, and work and hobby items, as well as doing some crafting/scrapbooking, gentle hiking, and catching up on pleasure and professional reading. Most of these things are things I have been thinking about for some time now, but just don't seem to get to. I also want to re-purpose or re-focus my blog, or maybe even start a new one in conjunction with interests I hope to pursue...gentle hiking, for example.
It seems like it should be a matter of just doing it, but I really need a dedicated space for some of these activities. I had started to do it in our spare room, then my granddaughter moved in with us for a while and stayed in that room, so I have to get her things cleared out.
Right now I think my plan might be this: start a different blog in which I document my efforts to become a healthier person (incorporating the gentle hike material), and maintain this one as the age-focused blog, and then one more professional-interest based blog. I mean, I may or may not do these things, but I think if I set them up, it would be a way to create some personal accountability for my promises to myself. It's not so much whether anyone reads them or not, although that's always nice. I just like the idea of the goals being up there in some mildly public way as both a reminder and yes, an admonishment.

Count Down To A Year!
On almost the eve of celebrating my first year free from any alcohol or drugs I thought it was a good time to write something more balanced about my time leading up to what has been for me the most painful and gruelling two years of my life. I say more balanced because on earlier occasions when I've tried to put pen to paper about these times it was clear that it was with a huge amount of anger and resentment on my part. I'm more stable now and indeed more able to look back with honesty and some clarity and understanding, of the events leading up to me going to rehab and trying to beat my alcoholism. I've been unfair on my now ex-wife and I think people need to know that. Sometimes I thought she wasn't being as helpful as she could but she didn't deserve to be a part of this story, she followed her heart and I was a good lier and manipulator as all addicts are. I acknowledge that she has suffered due to my behaviour right throughout this whole saga. She has needed prolonged counselling herself and has had her self-confidence and self-esteem shredded by my behaviour towards her. I'm looking at the facts and although the drinking was the problem and it would be easy to blame it on my disease, ultimately I was the person that said and did things that I am ashamed about. I truly never meant to hurt her and I hope she knows that I am sorry. I pray for peace on both sides. We both have new and somewhat improved lives and she will be ok, she has a bright future ahead of her and she's still a wonderful and loveable young woman even if she's not my wonderful and loveable young woman anymore. After today when the happiness of my whole alcohol free year starts and I move forward this is the last time I will talk about this particular episode of my somewhat eventful life.
So, from the minute I got married I was torn apart by an anger at myself for leading this bizarre double life that was becoming more and more impossible to hide. I was so confused and I watched the whole drama play out, knowing that it was all going to kick off at any minute and being totally powerless to do anything about it. Deep deep down I knew this marriage wasn't going to work before it had begun but then came the denial, the false belief that everything would be ok. Anyway, I wanted to show the world how much I loved this girl. I had to go ahead with it because I didn't know how long I had left. Addiction had caused me to fail many times before but I wanted to make a success of it and anyway, I wanted my big day. I didn't think about anything beyond that. For that brief moment I was happier than I ever had been. Sadly, the moment was all too short and the decline began quickly. I was going to lose everything in a way that would affect many other people. People that cared for me, trusted me and even loved me. I couldn't take the responsibility of accepting that love whilst harbouring this thing that I couldn't speak of. I didn't understand what was happening to me, so how could they? I was going down fast, I couldn't halt it and I would lose the women that I loved. The hardest thing in those early days was the conflict inside myself, I wanted to hang on to her but I knew it was going to be an impossible task. This isn't something that has haunted me for a few months, even a few years. I have been addicted to substances of one kind or another for 20 years and a day hasn't past when I haven't had a drink for about the last 10. This wasn't going to get better quickly, I knew that but why would I expect anyone else but me to know. I was the only person who was aware of this and it was the most damaging and lonely secret I could ever have imagined. My wife, as much as I treasured her as a person and am heartbroken still that I am no longer a part of her life, was just a pawn in my game or more accurately, my fight against the evil that is addiction. She was a repeat of old hurt and similar mistakes, a retread. She joined the ranks of the others, also blameless and also beaten by the addict within me. How sad is that and how does anyone keep bouncing back? My time on this earth was running out and something had to change............
Fast forward two years, the first, a huge mix of hurt, anger, denial, confusion, self-loathing and self-destruction. The second was my true recovery. I had a new clean date following my last dramatic relapse here in South Africa which by the grace of God, a huge amount of hard work (I'd like to take a bit of credit at some point!) and the life saving commitment from quality staff at a certain rehab in Cape Town, remains to this day. In the first of these two years I unexpectedly and tragically lost my Dad to cancer. This was a life changing event that I wasn't prepared for and simply didn't know what to do. I was in such pain after the realisation that I'd lost my Dad and my wife in the same short space of time, on top of the daily nightmare of trying to stay sober that I went totally off the rails and just drank because I had absolutely nothing left to give. I could only make things a million times harder for my family who were also grieving the loss of my Dad. I hated myself for that. I didn't want to feel anything, the pain broke me more than ever before and things just couldn't get worse. I didn't care about myself and I didn't want to live. By some miracle I saw my Dad that last time in hospital and I was present to read at his funeral. The promise I made to him, that last time I saw him, stuck with me and still does. I told him I would return to South Africa and that I would beat this, in a couple of days time it will be my Dad I think of when I allow myself a little pat on the back for coming back from that time that I can't even describe in words and celebrating a year of sobriety. For the next few months I was dead inside and wandered the streets of Cape Town and drank with my close family not sure if I was ever coming back. If there is this notion of a rock bottom then surely this was mine? I made a totally rational decision to drink, knowing that I was a chronic end stage alcoholic and I was going to die.
The last year has been my proper life in recovery. My third attempt but this time I felt that something inside me could just not do this anymore. I had two choices, to die or to live a new life. The latter was my choice and it was a long and hard journey but something did change in me that led to me being here today in my new home in Cape Town surrounded by some of the most amazing friends I never thought I would meet. My life is good and I worry about little things again like if there's milk in the fridge or if the cats are in at night? I do things that real people do. I am not living a lie anymore and I am not constantly stressed about where to get alcohol. It is all around me of course but I have too much pain associated to it to even be tempted by it. I have not felt this happy and worry free in all of my life as far back as I can remember. Maybe this is what life is about? Maybe this is what I've been missing out on for all of my life? I'm free and I'm happy as the alcoholfreeme.com

Tomatoes, dried fruits; green peas, etc. are also rich in vitamin a.
Vitamin a deficiency and symptoms
Vitamin a deficiency can lead to serious health issues and in scientific terms it is called as VAD or hypovitaminosis A.

My lovely ex-Stampin Up Mummy, prolific and super-creative blogger and generous friend Vicky Hayes, aka Crafting Clare, recently announced that she has blogged her last blog.
Seriously, I can't quite take it in. This lady, if you are not already acquainted with her work, has inspired me time and time again, with her elegant and inventive paper creations gently punctuated with stories of her family's little funnies. Luckily she has left her blog up so that crafters can continue to be inspired by her wonderful work at http://craftingclare.blogspot.co.uk/
Vicky, you have been an inspiration to me, in more ways than one, thank you.

We have done everything from putting out mine fires to filling up sinkholes and helping the Pennsylvania Turnpike give everyone a smoother ride. Along the way, Howard Concrete Pumping has built a reputation for results, cost-savings, and customer service that is secondto- none.
In recent years, we have completed more than 100 geotechnical construction projects. These projects have involved drilling more than 16,000 boreholes, with more than 1,250,000 lineal feet of drilling, in diverse geological conditions. We have batched and placed more than 750,000 cubic yards of grout to solve a variety of geotechnical problems. Some of our successful projects include: mine stabilization, permeation grouting for drainage control, compaction grouting, and micro pile installation.
Our projects range in size from $10,000 to over $10,000,000, and includes these services:
Our professional staff includes geologists and engineers that collectively have more than 150 years of experience in the geotechnical construction industry. See for yourself why putting our Company to work for you means one less thing to worry about.
Soil and rock anchors have been used successfully for decades in both temporary and permanent applications. Typical uses are for retaining walls, dam stabilization, excavation support, marine bulkheads, and landslide stabilization.
Anchors are installed by drilling to the appropriate depth in the soil or rock, setting steel strand or bar material in the borehole, placing cement grout, then stressing the anchor to the required load using a hydraulic jack. Anchor loads in excess of 1,000 tons have been reached with rock anchors.
Micropiles are small diameter (less than 12 inches) drilled-in support elements. Micropiles often are constructed using high strength steel pipe (80 ksi) and can provide compression load capacities in excess of 400 kips using 9-5/8-inch diameter pipe. Micropiles can be installed in restricted workspaces - low headroom, tight areas and tough access locations. They can be used for new foundations or to supplement existing foundations.
Structural walls are constructed to support vertical changes in grade for either permanent or temporary conditions. These walls can be soldier pile/lagging construction, or soil nail/shotcrete construction.
Our combination of drilling and grouting expertise has made us the leading choice of contractors, mining companies, government agencies, and communities faced with solving mine subsidence problems. We have also made flowable fills for other purposes, such as trench and excavation backfill, foundation support, and pond liners.
Soil mixing operations are used to stabilize coal refuse ponds and hazardous waste impoundments by the introduction of cementitious material. Deep mixing is conducted by utilizing a specially designed three auger mix panel supported by a large capacity crane. Shallow mixing is accomplished by using a custom designed large backhoe equipped with a long reach dipper stick and hydraulically driven mixing device.
Many applications of drilling and grouting exist. Two specialty applications performed by us include Permeation Grouting and Compaction Grouting. Permeation grouting is the placement of a grout material, cementitious or chemical, into voids in the soil or rock strata. This can be accomplished by either tremie or pressure grouting methods. Compaction grouting is the placement of a low slump, low strength material under pressure into loose soil strata for ground improvement purposes.

Our lips were sealed...in July we collaborated with 'wichcraft to host our first "secret" Artists Den concert at The Southwest Porch at Bryant Park.
The Artists Den is an organization that presents unforgettable concerts from emerging and established musicians at non-traditional locations across the globe. Although Bryant Park has hosted and presented countless music performances over the past 20 years, working with the Artists Den was a new experience for us.
Like all Bryant Park events, Artists Den concerts are 100% free of charge, however, the location of each concert is only revealed to a select number of attendees chosen at random from the Den's electronic mailing list. For those who aren't selected to attend the secret concerts, each show is filmed and airs on public television as the series Live from the Artist's Den, which includes interviews with the artists and insight into the unconventional concert venues.
It was hard to keep our mouths shut, but we're happy to share the following featurette, hot off the presses, of the first Artists Den concert presented at The Southwest Porch, featuring iconic British rock band Squeeze.
Check your local listings for the full episode on Live from the Artists Den in early 2011, and sign up with Artists Den for your chance to attend future concerts at Bryant Park or other venues in your area.

Weekend raid on ecn server, Italy.
At 10.30 am, Saturday 27th June, police in Bologna, North Italy, raided the premises of the European Counter-Information Network, seizing their computer which was hosting internet material for Freedom Press.
Everyone knows that groups like ourselves—publishing material which challenges established institutions—run the risk of being silenced by those we criticise. There is nothing new in this. But what is new, and instructive, is how such gagging techniques are to be applied to the internet.
People who have access to the internet can read Freedom Press material held on various computers around the world. We have information which is hosted for us by people in Holland, Canada and, up until the 27th June, Italy.
The European Counter-Information Network (also known by the name of the collective which maintains the site—Islands in the Net) is, of course, a non-profit making organisation whose main offence would seem to be a belief in freedom of expression. Those who visit their site are faced with a wide choice of alternative information in a variety of languages not only coming from Italy but from all around the world.
More than 40 of the Italian Social Centres (we have reported on before in Freedom) use the service along with labour organisations like the Spanish CNT and the Italian USI. Alternative radio stations such as Onda d'Urto, Radio Blackout and Radio Sherwood use space on the server alongside paper publications like Freedom Press, Bandiera Rossa from Milan and various digital publications like .zip. Music bands also have their pages which bring in many of the thousands of people who use the ecn server on a daily basis: visiting the web site or using the discussion forums known as mailing lists. These include a huge variety of subjects ranging from news about developments in Chiapas to citizens rights in a digital age and the only discussion list about gay rights in Italy.
All this came to a sudden end on Saturday when the State Prosecutor for Vicenza—Paoli Pecori—authorised the seizure by the police of the computer which held this information. Thus, in the words of one member of the collective, 'from now on (and who knows for how long?) the server will be down and… the construction of a strong solidarity network among several self-organised collectives (will be halted)'.
The precise reason why the server has been seized remains unclear. Ostensibly it goes back to a message sent to one of the mailing lists which denounced a Turkish travel agency—Turban Italia Sri whose headquarters is in Milan—by linking them to the financial interests of the former Turkish premier Tansu C,iller and which called on people to boycott the agency in solidarity with the Kurdish people.
What makes the situation strange is that the material in question had already been published on a flier and was in the public domain. In this instance the information was only being reproduced. Even stranger, perhaps, is that the ecn collective should be held responsible for the contents of a document they had not been involved in producing and, no longer strange but rather sinister, that all the many groups we have listed should be silenced. It's a bit as though the BBC (TV, radio and paper publications) were shut down without warning because a DJ on Radio One had read out a message from a listener because it contained questionnable material. All this would be funny if it weren't true.
The whole question of content control on the internet is a worldwide question now like the internet itself. Here in the UK the government has started the ball rolling officially with talk about copyright and unofficially it has begun in the press with fear campaigns about child pornography and bomb making recipes. The hidden agenda is just that: hidden. It comes out into the open when the kind of think we are seeing in Italy today will be in our own backyard tomorrow.
Fortunately, resistance is a possibility. The ecn server will not be down for long and already moves are being made to mirror (duplicate) parts of the site elsewhere. This kind of move has precedents and sometimes when the authorities go for the little folk (remember McDonalds?) it can backfire. Here however we are dealing with state censorship. A different beast and possibly more vicious than a hamburger.

If you are planning any type of large event, then it is important that you take time to prepare specific security measures for the gathering. There is always a security risk when a lot of people are gathering together, but you can minimize the risk with a few proactive measures at your event.
Keep in mind that there is a fine balance between effective security measures and too much planning, so you should consider the size of your event and the location before you decide how much security will be needed. Here are a few things to consider:
Identify VIP Areas and Keep Them Sealed Off
Decide which areas of the event will be VIP areas, and make sure they are well secured and clearly marked. These areas need to be kept separate from the main part of the event, and allow entrance only to only people with the proper identification. In some cases, a simple curtain is sufficient to block out of the VIP area. Or, you might consider walls or a fence if you need to maintain higher levels of security for the area.
In order to manage the people who move in and out of the VIP areas, you should make sure that they have specific badges that will allow access. It is also a good idea to have a list of people who are allowed VIP access, so that the security personnel can refer to the list on an as-needed basis.
RFID Badges to Monitor People Who are in Attendance
RFID cards or badges are a great option to monitor people as they come and go during the event. With RFID identification, the badge communicates with a reader that scans the card and allows access to the appropriate people. Additionally, you can keep a log of the time that each person arrives and leaves, so that you always know who is in attendance at any given time.
When passing out the RFID cards or badges, ask each person to provide a picture ID before they are given their card. You might also ask those people to bring their invitation, or some other type of information that identifies that they have been invited to the event. Hang RFID or ID cards on lanyards, some events provide these lanyards to delegates. Companies like Dynamic Gift or Lanyards factory in Sydney are able to supply custom branded or plain lanyards overnight and they can deliver to your event.
Hiring a Security Team
In some situations, it might make sense to hire a security team for the event. When you have trained security guards on site, troublemakers can be deterred because they will see the guards in the area. These security professionals are also beneficial because they are trained to handle emergency situations, so they will be able to take care of the area if anything happens.
Monitoring the Event
You should consider having security cameras on site, to monitor the event and keep a record of anything that might happen. In addition to the camera monitoring, it is also important to make sure that your staff is watching the area and staying aware of the activities that are occurring.
For example, if you have expensive equipment or collectible items, then you should have staff members assigned to stay with those items in order to avoid theft. Another point of monitoring might be at the door, where security personnel can prevent people from bringing dangerous items to the event.
It is a good idea to monitor the food area as well, in order to make sure that the food is being handled correctly. Food management helps to prevent tainted drinks or food, which could happen either unintentionally or intentionally.
Have a Contingency Plan in Place
It is always a good idea to have a backup plan, just in case something goes wrong. Even if you feel as though you are well-prepared for the event, sometimes accidents or mistakes happen. A contingency plan will allow you to recover and keep the event running, even if problems occur. The contingency plan should include steps to handle an injury, or a threat, and all security personnel should be trained on these measures.
With the right planning and preparation, you can successfully plan and execute your event. You will be happy that you made the effort to manage the security and identification of the guests.

Warning Cry by Kris Humphrey
Review by The Mole
Nara, a farmer's daughter and Whisperer, has been summoned to Meridar to join with all the other Whisperers so that they can combine their powers to fight the demon army and defend the people of the Kingdom of Meridina. Nara's powers are resented by her family who expect their children to become farmers and help in the running of the farm. When the summons comes to go to Meridar, she says goodbye to her father and leaves to travel further than she has ever travelled - and alone - without a word to her mother or sister. She takes with her Flame, her leopard companion, and finds the journey anything but straightforward.
Book 1 was Whisper of Wolves which told the story of Alice and her companion wolf. In this book we meet a different Whisperer and while Alice may make a cameo appearance we aren't introduced to her.
So many of these young fantasy adventure series are based on one special person that can save the world single handedly and the problem with that is that if you don't like that character... well, it's obvious. In this series we follow a different character (or group of characters) in each story so the reader feels the overall plot expand as it progresses.
A very fast paced, hugely enjoyable, easy reader for the 9+ age group. Although all the lead characters are women or girls (of one age or another) I can see no reason why boys wouldn't enjoy these books as well.

Discover Your Design Style!
How do you do decorating?
Do you like keeping the same pieces for years or would do you love changing your look? Do you love it when everything matches or do creative clashes make you swoon? We are here to help our readers discover their own, personal style and give you some ideas on how to complete your home's signature look! This entry is the first in a four-part series focused on creating the atmosphere that is just right for you!
Today we are looking at Style, Period, and Theme decorating! I'll give you a little intro about each and then we can look at some examples of each.
*Bonus* Check out the complimentary scents that go with each look! We're sharing our favorite Open Window Scents soap and Signature Scent candles for each style! All the scents and items pictured can be purchased at The Blue Rose. Also, be sure to comment below with your own personal style and you'll be entered to win a custom gift basket in your own look!
Theme Decorators: This one is self-explanatory in that you love a good theme! The most popular current theme is probably the Farmhouse style and many people can recognize this signature look! Beach, Cottage, French Provincial, Primitive Country, Shabby Chic, Retro/Vintage are examples of other well-loved themes. Some looks, like Spanish or Moroccan themes, are inspired by different parts of the world and incorporate traditional colors, patterns and textiles from those regions. Creative themes may use books, movies or characters as inspiration. Many decorators stay with one theme throughout their house, while others might use a few. Traditional and Contemporary decorators might branch off in a theme for one or two rooms.
We'll be looking at four current and popular themes: Farmhouse, Beach, Retro and Cottage
This theme was made wildly popular by Joanna Gaines from Fixer Upper. Hallmarks of this style include the use of barn wood, shiplap, distressed furniture, and country and farm themed decor. The most used color palette is gray, brown and white, with the occasional pop of color. Clean white dishes and linens, galvanized metal, jute cord and butcher block all make frequent appearances in this look, along with sliding barn doors and the occasional piece of antique furniture.

I have decided to create my own religion in which I am the main deity, ha-ha. You may choose to convert and proclaim me as your ungodly ruler, dont worry about the details, those arent important. Certain sacrifices and libels may serve as requirements but for now lets not mind them. Rejoice, rejoice, and rejoice!
Know this, I shall release you from the bounds of humanity and reign in eternal bliss. My realm is evil and vile and those who join shall suffer, forever. For I am also mad, a mad-man who wishes nothing but death for himself and his followers as well. Were going to be living there forever in my land of giant twisted thorns and bottomless cathedrals, eating from the bones of those whom defied us and end up swimming in floating pools of infested blood clots. Our flying beasts of terror shall roam the skies with their bloating wings of parasitic embraces, while we may suck out of their protrusions to quench our thirst with their lurid milk.
Those who join me shall rule in their new suits of immortal meat and bones and never feel pain ever again.
Just say I will join you, master and our contract will me signed.

5. Halfords – Store Overview & Buyers Guide
Halfords is a British and Irish retailer of car parts, car enhancement, bike and bike accessories, and camping and touring equipment. Unless you're a bit of a petrolhead, you may not visit a Halfords often; but there's lots of practical equipment within and it's a firm favourite amongst savvy Student Discount Squirrel shoppers!
If you're a cyclist or driver, Halfords is a must-visit store: not just for its range of parts and enhancements, but also because of the advice and recommendations that staff can offer.
Highly trained and able to not just converse with you but also to fit parts and practical solutions, Halfords is the place to go even if you're not sure of what you need or how to fit it.
Their staff will do everything from tightening nuts and bolts, clipping on new windscreen wipers and in some cases full auto-centre services such as MOTs and mechanic repairs – the in store experience is exceptional. This range of servicing means that you don't need to book in with an expensive mechanic or specialist cycle repair shop and instead, can have your motor and bike needs sorted on the high street.
You don't need to be a pro-cyclist to use their cycle facilities, either. Even fair-weather, hire-only or super casual cyclists will feel at home here as the staff can help with everything from chain repairs to major structural bodywork. Many of their staff themselves cycle to work, so they'll feel your pain on rain, angry motorists and frustrating bike niggles!
This cycle superstore also attracts lots of seasonal custom as summer hits and everyone plans ahead for festival season. Their range of fantastic value tents varies from cheap one-man pop-ups to huge tent villages… just make sure you've got some extra pegs and lots of willing volunteers to help with the latter when you make it on-site!
You'll also find festival essentials such as:
- cool boxes
- camp chairs
- sleeping bags
- camp beds
- marquees
- gas stoves
All of which we here at SD Squirrel heartily endorse for cheap getaways and to stop you from spending all your hard-earned cash on ridiculously priced eats at festival food outlets.
To make their shopping experience even better, Halfords are super student-friendly and offer not jut a student discount but a whole student membership and loyalty programme!
Sign up through Student Discount Squirrel to receive a discount, invites to and advance notice of lots of seasonal promotional events and money-off sales and specially discounted selected products.
If you're in-store, just ask; many Halfords staff are students themselves and you'll never feel frowned upon for seeking out a bargain with them. They really are a great example of how retailers can – and should! – help out skint students.
Topeak Red and White Bike Light Set – £20
A tidy and reliable bike light set to see you through poor visibility and bad weather, this set has been rated five stars out of five by Halfords customers and staff alike! Three ultra-bright LEDs in these lights can run for up to 60 hours of continuous use and have basic on/off, blinking and constant modes. The lights are also extra-light, so you won't notice any heavy additions to your bike and can't use them as an excuse to slow you down!
Basil Mara XL Water Resistant Double Pannier Bag, 35L – £22.98
This bike bag makes for the perfect way to transport your textbooks, folders and study essentials to university while you're keeping fit on route! Made of completely water-resistant polyester, this bag fares even the most inclement of weather (and the odd puddle along the way) and has double-reflective strips on the bag to help with visibility in the dark. A whopping thirty-five litre capacity means that you'll easily fit all you need to in it with nothing left behind for your day.
Milestone Two-Man Pop-Up Tent – £25.99
A must-have for any camping trip or festival where you don't want to faff about with tent pegs and poles for hours on end. Instead, unzip the cover and – POP! – your home for the weekend is ready to go. A bargain at just over £25, this tent is big enough for two people to stay inside; or one and their equipment for the event ahead. The groundsheet is sewn in and if the weather's windy, there are bright guide ropes with pegs to pin it down. Now all you need is your festival tickets!
History of the Store
Originally a wholesale ironmongery based in Birmingham, Halfords has come a long way since the 1800s!
The name was coined in 1902 when the store moved to Halford Street in Leicester, and its stuck ever since. Expansion happened quickly. In 1931, the 200th UK store opened and after the war in 1945, the company bought the Birmingham Bicycle Company; hence its brilliant cycle operations today.
In the 60s, Margaret Thatcher's husband, Denis, was an Executive Director, and the firm was sold to an oil company. The company continued to be sold on and on until 2004, when it first floated on the London Stock Exchange.
In 2005, a collaboration deal was set up with a Japanese auto enhancement company and started offering more services and unusual parts in its stores.
Halfords briefly had a dalliance in Europe but sold off these stores quickly as it struggled to adapt to more markets. Today, there are over 450 stores across the UK and over 20 based in the Republic of Ireland.

Jessica Ennis is the poster girl of the London Olympics, giving a series of interviews and taking part in numerous photo shoots, but now she wants her reward — a gold medal.
The 26-year-old Briton — a former outdoor world and European heptathlon champion — has assumed the mantle of the golden girl of British athletics from Denise Lewis, whom she hopes to emulate in taking Olympic heptathlon gold like the latter did in Sydney in 2000.
The pressure, though, will be even greater on Ennis as not only is she expected to deliver gold to the home audience, but also having missed out on the Beijing Games because of injury, this will be her first Games.
However, with a degree in psychology, the bubbly Ennis — daughter of a Jamaican father who is a decorator and an English mother who is a social worker — has shown herself to be impervious to the pressure.
She took silver in the world indoor championships earlier this year in the pentathlon, but only saw her crown taken away by a world record performance from Ukrainian Olympic champion Natallia Dobrynska.
Then, in May, came a landmark moment. For Ennis, who first made a splash when she took bronze in the 2006 Commonwealth Games heptathlon, consigned Lewis' British record in the event to the dust bin as she recorded a total of 6,906 points in Gotzis, Austria.
Even better for her was that she had her two main rivals for Olympic gold behind her, Russia's Tatyana Chernova, who took Ennis' heptathlon outdoor world title in Daegu, South Korea, last year, was second, while Dobrynska was way off the pace in ninth.
It showed, if anything, that Ennis — whose small frame earned her the nickname "Tadpole" early in her career — had firmly put behind her two years of almost constant injury.
"This gives me the self-belief going ahead," Ennis said after breaking the 12-year-old record. "I have done the big block of my training and now I am going to train sensibly, just freshening up and sharpening up."
Ennis realizes that her two main rivals were not at their peak in Gotzis.
"They'll come back stronger in London, but so will I, and I'll have a big crowd with me," Ennis said.
However, Ennis' belief that the crowd will be a positive factor for her in London is not a view shared by Chernova.
"If people just look at one girl, it will be very hard for her [Ennis] to compete. I don't know what is in her mind, but everyone in the stadium will want her to get a result, and there will be great attention on her," she said.
However, it is not just her rivals that Ennis has had to cope with in terms of the psychological warfare as they approach the Games, but also apparently those within as there have been backstage noises about her being overweight.
It has not, understandably, gone down well with her or her coach.
Toni Minichiello claimed the slurs were part of increased intrusion into Ennis' preparation for the Olympics from "people in fairly high positions, who should know better."
"I get e-mails, phone calls, text messages and voice mails giving me advice on what I should be doing with Jessica Ennis that's going to make a difference. It's a lot of background noise that you can get easily distracted by," Minichiello said.

Straight lines.
Great aren't they?
With straight lines we build barns, houses, bridges and roads.
With ruler – or straight edge – in hand, our engineers design piston rods, pipelines, train tracks. Even artists use them to help create the illusion of perspective.
The humble straight line has been responsible for countless advances in the modern world.
Take the wheel, that shining exemplar of the non-linear. Wheels often only make motion possible through the use of spokes or axles. That is, straight lines.
No wonder then that we're obsessed with the linear. But it's not all good.
A word of caution, if I may.

Pregnancy Home > Pregnancy Information
By educating yourself on pregnancy, you can help ensure the well-being of both you and your baby during this special time. The pregnancy information contained in this article is organized in an A-to-Z format. The information you need to know involves a wide range of topics, such as diet, exercise, prenatal care, pregnancy complications, information on medications, and more.
Unfortunately, not all pregnancy complications or birth defects can be prevented, but a woman can take some actions that increase her chances of having a healthy baby. Many birth defects occur very early in the pregnancy -- sometimes before a woman even knows she is pregnant. What's more, about half of all pregnancies are unplanned.
The sections that follow provide an overview from A to Z of suggestions for a healthy pregnancy.
Avoid exposure to toxic substances and chemicals, for example:
- Cleaning solvents
- Lead
- Mercury
- Some insecticides
- Paint and paint fumes.
Be sure to see your doctor and get prenatal care as soon as you think you're pregnant. It's important to see your doctor regularly throughout pregnancy, so be sure to keep all your prenatal care appointments.
Breastfeeding is the healthiest choice for both you and your baby. Talk to your doctor, your family and friends, and your employer about how you choose to feed your baby and how they can support you in your decision.
Cigarette smoking during pregnancy can result in low birth-weight babies. It has been associated with the following pregnancy complications:
- Infertility
- Miscarriages
- Tubal pregnancies
- Infant mortality
- Childhood morbidity.
In addition, cigarette smoking may cause long-term learning disabilities. If you smoke, you should try to quit. Secondary smoke may also harm a mother and her developing baby. It is a good idea to ask people around you to stop smoking during your pregnancy and after the baby is born.

Last Updated on
One of the most common concerns of a web designer or developer is that he/she can't keep the same rhythm as Internet evolution. Nowadays, the WWW is spreading at a fast rate and it is almost impossible to stay updated with all latest news. Much more, what you learn in school may be useless or outdated in real life! Yeah, I learned to create websites using tables, but I didn't create any using this method for a client. I think that I am not the only one in this situation!
Willing or not, the website crafters must try all their best to stay updated and online courses are a good solution in this respect. You can watch these when you want, you can pause them, interact with other students or with the teacher and there are many other advantages. It's true, many online courses are modest – they lack quality information. Luckily, I searched and I found some interesting and useful web development courses. Comparing the price with the information provided, these web development courses are a real bargain!
Instead of wasting time talking about online courses, it's way better to get your hands dirty with these web development courses! It will be great to know your opinion about these and please don't forget to share the post with your friends!
Beginner Level
The Complete Web Developer Course 2.0
Price: 40 €
Rating: 4.7
Lectures: 288
Video: 30.5 hours
WordPress for Beginners 2016-Perfect for authors & bloggers
Price: 30 €
Rating: 5
Lectures: 76
Video: 7 hours
This web development course is created for beginners… both bloggers and developers. I think that you can't name yourself a developer unless you have a solid grasp of WordPress. Hence, the ones that are willing to learn development and WordPress should enroll this course. Also, I think that it's suitable for bloggers who aren't too keen on web technologies. The 7 hours of this course will make them use the "magic" power of WordPress to share their knowledge.
JavaScript: Gentle Introduction for Beginners
Price: 20 €
Rating: 4.8
Lectures: 44
Video: 5 hours
If you want to create websites, JavaScript is a must, HTML & CSS aren't enough. Comparing with these, JavaScript is a little harder to learn, but it doesn't mean that it's rocket science and only top experts know it. This course is a gentle introduction for beginners and I think that it's one of the most useful web development course released this year on Udemy. Enroll it and please let me know your opinion about it.
Intermediate Level
Bootstrap to WordPress: Build Custom Responsive themes!
Price: 20 €
Rating: 5
Lectures: 53
Video: 6.5 hours
Many WordPress themes are built using Bootstrap and some of them are big hits in term of sales. In the first sections, the instructor explains how to create a homepage using Bootstrap, then how to add additional webpages. The next step supposes to convert your website into a WordPress powered one. After you finish the WordPress conversion, you will learn how to add a blog section, how to create widgets and add some fine-tuning touches to make the theme looks great. Definitely, it's a complex course that should be enrolled by any web developer/designer interested in creating WordPress themes!
Projects in HTML5
Price: 20 €
Rating: 4.4
Lectures: 75
Video: 15.5 hours
I enrolled this course and I think that it's one of the best web development courses from Udemy. First of all, the price is a real bargain – you pay almost 1 € per an hour of useful content. You will learn how to create an animated image gallery, a snake game, a quiz application, a to-do app and a geolocation app. I think that you are already convinced that this course is a must-have for any web developer.
All levels
Learn to add Google Maps API
Price: 40 €
Rating: N/A
Lectures: 17
Video: 2 hours
There are a lot of websites that need Google Maps position integrated into contact form or in other sections. By enrolling this course, you will be able to create the API, learn the map options and apply everything you learned in a website project. It's medium size course full of applicable tips in order to improve the online presence of your clients.
Create WordPress Plugins
Price: 20 €
Rating: 4.5
Lectures: 21
Video: 2.5 hours
Creating and selling WordPress themes is a profitable affair, but people neglect that selling plugins is also a profitable affair. By enrolling this course you will learn from an expert how to create a WordPress plugin, an admin panel for it, shortcodes and widgets. It's a very new course and taking into account the information shared, I think that the price is quite reasonable.
The Complete Sass & SCSS Course: From Beginner to Advanced
Price: 20 €
Rating: 4.5
Lectures: 35
Video: 4.5 hours
This course is suitable for all web developers and designers willing to get their hands dirty with Sass. Here are explained the basics of Sass, but it's strongly focused on practical aspects, hence you will code! Also, you will learn to use Sublime Text 3, one of the most popular text editors. I think that any modern web creator should use Sass in order to optimize his/her workflow.
The Complete React Web App Developer Course
Price: 35 €
Rating: 4.7
Lectures: 124
Video: 23 hours
React is a JavaScript library that is managed by Facebook, Instagram, and the web design community. Consequently, React can't be neglected by you and this course is the best solution to have a solid grasp of it. The instructor mentioned that by getting through this course you will create a weather, a to do and a counter application.
Create Websites and Hybrid APPs with Google Material Design
Price: 20 €
Rating: 4.4
Lectures: 55
Video: 3 hours
Google Material Design is still in its infancy, but in a just a few years, it will be the norm for the web designers. This web development course is created to teach you how to design websites and apps based on Material Design principles. The course is focused on practice; from section 2 to section 13 (the last one) the students will watch how the instructor create webpages and will apply the skills learned into their projects.
I hope that you will be interested in at least a course from the ones above. I tried to select only the most interesting ones, but on Udemy you will find many other useful web development courses. Please let me know if you enrolled any of the above courses and share with us your opinions about.
