Hardwood flooring is a great addition to any home because it is durable, beautiful, and timeless. If you're considering installing hardwood in your home, engineered hardwood is a great alternative! Unlike solid hardwood flooring, engineered hardwood can be installed in any room of the house including the kitchen or basement. While engineered hardwood is still real wood, it's made differently than solid hardwood. Engineered planks are created by bonding multiple layers of wood together under extreme pressure and heat. At Floor Coverings International Houston Heights serving the greater Greater Heights, Montrose, Upper Kirby, Museum District, and Downtown area, we carry a wide selection of engineered hardwood flooring.
Benefits of Engineered Hardwood
- Scratches and blemishes are an easy fix by sanding, making engineered hardwood flooring practical for high-traffic areas. This can be done a few times over the life of the floors.
- The layers underneath provide durability and strength to make your investment last longer and are resilient to light moisture in bathrooms or kitchens.
- Like solid hardwood, engineered hardwood is available in a variety of looks and can be stained many different colors.

Oracle Exalytics a better comparison with SAP HANA
SAN FRANCISCO – In August I did a podcast with Alex Gorbachev of Pythian and John Appleby of Bluefin Solutions on whether comparing Oracle Exadata to SAP HANA was valid. They both agreed that at that time, it really wasn't. Well, that has changed this week at Oracle OpenWorld.
Oracle's announcement of Exalytics, an in-memory business analytics server, brings it more in line opposite the in-memory appliance SAP HANA (High-Performance Analytics Appliance), Gorbachev said this week.
"I think there was something missing before for the Oracle BI customer," he said. "To have a complete end-to-end solution for a data warehouse they would still need to install something. Now they can have a pre-installed OBIEE (Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition) stack. This is now probably something that you could put up against SAP HANA."
Oracle consultancy Pythian this week won the North American Titan Award from the Oracle partner network for its help in implementing Exadata at LinkShare, a marketing company in New York. Company officials also told me this week what it will do for potential customers who buy an Oracle database appliance through Pythian.
"We will migrate anybody's database from any version on any hardware to a new database appliance for free," said Executive Chairman and Founder Paul Vallèe. "The benefit for us is we get to demonstrate our expertise to a new account. The customer for us is more meaningful than a single upgrade."

Simon Pegg stars in this low-budget British comedy about a writer whose research into Victorian serial killers has rendered him an emotional wreck. Jack (Pegg) is a highly-strung and over-sensitive artist whose paranoia has reached such heights that he can no longer leave the house without carrying a carving knife just in case someone tries to murder him. When his agent informs him that a Hollywood executive is interested in his latest script, 'Decades of Death', and tells him that he must prepare himself for this important meeting, a string of unlikely events is triggered that leads to Jack being finally forced to face up to all of his worst and wildest fears.

Over a hundred years ago on Melcher street in Boston (also known as printers row), the pressmen would set type by hand and crank away all day. The work was tedious and tiresome. After a job was done, they'd walk out to the alley and pick a kid to come in and sort all the type back into it's appropriate drawer for the lesser half of a nickel. To my knowledge, this is where the term, "printers devil" was born.
Here I am today packing to visit kids at a local preschool for a hand-on workshop. I love watching the kids eyes light up as they print they're very first card. It's a far cry from todays iPad and iKea lifestyle but in most ways, I think that is exactly what makes these workshops so great. If you'd like to schedule an on location print demo for your school or event. Give us a ring. If we can fit it in, we would surely love the opportunity!
Whatcha got there?

Into Europe's close, we've seen S&P trade back down to near yesterday's lows, DJIA also down -.24% and has been very range-bound since early September while NDX's weakness is more minor and NOT as meaningful
Among the various US indices, we've seen some real divergence in the last couple weeks with NDX moving back to new highs, while SPX and DJIA are noticeably weaker(DJIA still counts, despite being price weighted, as this still has about a 90% correlation to SPX) Breadth is around 2/1 negative in both A/D and also volume flowing into Declining vs Advancing stocks. Sector-wise, Discretionary is making the larger decline today after being strong last week, but most of this strength came on the heels of NFLX and the TWX deal while the broader space has continued to struggle. UA is hands down the worst performing sector today while WHR also down 11%, and other stocks like GM, AN, MHK, PVH HAR all down more than 3% within the sector which is meaningful. (Only so much AMZN strength can do) Cons staples and Utilities are the only 2 positive major sectors today, with WTI pullback in the last hour causing more energy weakness, while Gold still showing a minor bounce. Overall, trends in US Dollar and 10year yields remain positive , but Emerging markets have still held up fairly well of late. Overall, tough to make much of the trend in S&P here, which along with DJIA have been very choppy and overlapping of late, not the most inspiring sign for gains, and after yesterday and early am today, prices had yet again reached the highs of this recent range, making Sales better than thinking the market could extend. For today- under yesterday's lows of 2134.75 in SP would bring prices down to 2128-30, but really would require a violation of 2123 to expect a larger decline. DJIA has 17895 as a larger area of support
So overall.. uninspiring technical patterns, and upside limited for the time being given the current structure, but still no meaningful evidence of any real dropoff. Divergence will need too be eliminated as indices rise in unison on good breadth and participation to have more confidence of any rally. No-Man's Land continues for SPX, DJIA

A Jemadar in Queen Victoria's Own Corps of Guides Infantry (Frontier Force) (Lumsden's) who was born in the village of Chogawan, Moga, in East Punjab. He fought and died in Egypt on 14 August 1918 and was recommended for the Indian Order of Merit (IOM). His story is told by his grandson, Citizen Historian Kishen Singh Gill.
What We Know
1. Life Before The War
Harnam Singh was born in the village of Chogawan in Moga, East Punjab.
He was the son of Buda Singh.
He joined the Queen Victoria's Own Corps of Guides Infantry (F.F.) (Lumsdens) (but it is not known whether this was before or during the war).
2. Life During The War
Harnam Singh was promoted to the junior rank of Jemadar on 13 February 1918 (see Indian Army List, July 1918, p 448).
He died in battle at Port Tewfik in Heliopolis, Egypt, on 14 August 1918. The entry for that day in the regimental war diary sheds light on what happened:
Enemy snipers very accurate, especially near Cochrane Castle. Jem[adar] Harnam Singh did a daylight reconnaissance in front of own wire and was badly wounded and died within 5 minutes. Har Gopal Singh and 1020 Sepoy Kartar Singh immediately went out to bring him in.
Gopal Singh was hit almost immediately and Kartar Singh went on and under heavy rifle fire brought in Harnam Singh. Recommended for I.D.S.M
Bde Changed it to recommendation for I.O.M
War diary, 13-14 August 1918, volume VIII (The National Archives)
(Note: The Indian Order of Merit (IOM) was a military decoration of British India established in 1837. For a long time the IOM was the highest decoration that an Indian could receive. This was changed in 1911 when Indian servicemen became eligible for the Victoria Cross.)
Harnam Singh is remembered on the Port Tewfik Memorial in Heliopolis, Egypt.
3. Life After The War
Harnam Singh's family were granted 40 acres of land for his service during the Great War.
The family decided not to accept the award because of his son's active role in the independence movement against the British Empire.
Kishan Singh Gill and his family have been very active in researching the life of their WW1 ancestor.
An original letter sent to the family by the army (presumably informing them about Harnam Singh's death) and his medal were lost to floods in the 1950s.
Thus, armed only with his name, the family used the Commonwealth War Graves Commission to locate an entry for 'Jemadar Harnam Singh, son of Buda Singh of Chogawan, Moga, Ferozepore, Punjab, served with the 1st battalion of Queen Victoria's own corps of guides infantry (F.F) (Lumsdens)'.
They next found the regimental war diaries at The National Archives.
The Gill family contacted an authorised specialist medal maker who was able to construct the exact replica of the medal issued to their grandfather.
As a fitting tribute, three generations of the Gill family travelled to the Port Tewfik Memorial in Heliopolis, Egypt, on August 14 2008, 90 years to the day that Harnam Singh died, to pay their respects.
They were able to see his inscription for themselves (see image) and were finally able to close the missing chapter of their grandfather's short but remarkable life.

HONOLULU — According to a report in the Honolulu Star Bulletin, several former state and city transportation directors announced their support for am elevated rail system on Oahu. The announcement comes on the eve of a public forum where the American Institute of Architects will outline its views opposing a completely elevated system. For the full story, click here.
In the coming months, agency will be updating the design specifications for streetcar vehicles.
The moves comes after feedback from FTA and U.S. DOT on a previous submission, making more local money available for the project while keeping costs in check.
Serving the Newburyport/Rockport Commuter Rail Line, the current station is inconvenient for transfers to other modes of service.
As it does every year, the agency searched for ways to control or reduce its operating costs to head off the need for a fare increase.
The new cars incorporate and improve upon the most successful and popular features of the MTA's two recent electric car fleets.

Overclockers Online posted a review on the OCZ EliteXStream 800W PSU
OCZ's EliteXStream 800W is an all-around solid unit. The unit handled our tests without a sweat and held stable even in the harshest environment. As we have seen today, its performance is on par with much more expensive units.

Petite Press {letterpress recipe cards}
Cooks will love this... I cannot take my eyes off these new personalized recipe cards from Petite Press. Letterpress, oh my!
Swoon! What a thoughtful gift for a friend or better yet, a great house warming gift! I think the only thing I would do is after writing on a card, I'd laminate it or place inside of a plastic photograph sleeve to protect the paper. I'd hate to have chocolate stains ruin these beauties.

If you played video games growing up, or play them now, you might want to check out this fantastic infographic detailing a family tree of video game controllers.
It's interesting to see how the dial-based controllers of the early days evolved into joysticks, and that these then fell from favor until the N64 had that little, but rarely-used joystick on the centre hull. It also seems like controllers from way back when called for more asymmetrical hand positioning.
I also feel that Sony has really nailed it with the PS3 controller. All the buttons are perfectly placed, and it just feels right in your hands.
For more great video game information, check out VideoGameDesignSchools.org.
What's your favorite video game controller?

As the CEO of Posit Science, people often ask me: how can I tell if a brain training program works? And how can I tell which one is the best? The right answer, of course, if that brain training programs should be shown to work in well-designed randomized controlled trials – just like you'd expect for a new medicine or medical device.
Unfortunately, in the field of brain training, that doesn't always happen. Companies can launch a brain training program with no evidence at all, and some companies have been found to have made false claims about their scientific evidence.
What we need is a group of independent scientists to systematically review the all data from brain training companies, and carefully evaluate what has been shown to work – and what hasn't.
And for the first time now, that has happened. A research group at the Centre of Excellence for Alzheimer's Disease Research & Care at Edith Cowan University in Australia, led by Dr. Tejal Shah and Dr. Ralph Martins, have just published that review in Neuropsychological Reviews.
This is a serious scientific research group. Dr. Shah has previously led an innovative study using Posit Science exercises combined with physical exercise, showing improvements in verbal memory and increases in brain energy metabolism following training. Dr. Martins is a leader in the field of Alzheimer's research – his laboratory was the first to discover the biochemical pathway that leads to to production of amyloid protein plaques associated with Alzheimer's disease.
What Drs. Shah and Martins have now done is straightforward and at the same time innovative. They identified all currently available brain training programs (they found 18) – everything that an ordinary person has access to. They then comprehensively searched the scientific literature for randomized controlled trials of brain training programs used in healthy older adults – evaluating 244 published articles to identify which articles supported the use of which brain training programs. From this list, they distilled this down to 26 key studies.
What they first found was that 11 of 18 brain training programs simply had no published evidence whatsoever. That's amazing – and disappointing. In my opinion, a company should not be allowed to sell a program that simply has not been evaluated in a scientific study.
Of the remaining 7 brain training programs, I'm very happy – but not surprised – to say that Posit Science came out on top – way on top. We had by far and away the most published studies, and were the only brain training program with at least two high-quality studies (we actually had 8). Of course many more papers have actually been published using our exercises – each study typically results in several papers. When you measure by published papers, at last count there were 56 papers published about Posit Science brain training exercises from studies in healthy aging (and more than 120 including clinical conditions like brain injury). In this review, our closest competitor had only one high-quality study and one medium quality study, and the rest had only one study, often rated moderate or low quality.
This is an important review, because often people evaluate the scientific literature on brain training and come to the conclusion that the evidence is mixed. But the reason that happens is because studies from all brain training programs are grouped together – and of course some are effective and some aren't – so the result is a mess. It's as if cancer doctors took evaluated everything from modern anti-cancer immunotherapeutics to pocket lint and concluded that the evidence was mixed that cancer could be treated. That would be silly – although that's what some reviews of brain training have done – and I'm glad to see a review that was conducted more sensibly.
So the next time someone asks you how to tell if a brain training program works, and which one works the best – let them know that the verdict is in. An independent group of top scientists has comprehensively reviewed all the scientific publications – and the answer is BrainHQ from Posit Science.

I love being wrong about things like this, but the Phillies handed over the money and got the deal done. Per Baseball America
There were two above-slot signings of late-round picks. The Phillies landed Washington high school righthander Julian Sampson (12th round) for $390,000, while the Rangers locked up California prep righty Kyle Ocampo (13th round) for $250,000.
MLB wants picks after the fifth round to receive no more than the last slotted bonus in the fifth round, which was $123,300 this year.
So far, so good. If it was only going to be one of either Sampson or Workman, I wanted Sampson, so this is a good start.

Splitting stories through vertical slicing is something you've probably heard and are practicing. Now you're probably thinking "I've done that before, this is simple." If that were the case, many of the agile consultants would be out of the job. It's harder than you think to have the discipline to slice features up. It's also tough to be disciplined and make sure that ever iteration has multiple features in the iteration.
Often times iterations become boxes of features – when planning the sprint the question asked is "what can you deliver in 2 weeks" as opposed to "what can you grow in 2 weeks". Creating two week feature boxes is encouraged by a lot of authors that talk about release themes – people misunderstand that to mean that sprints should be themed. When push comes to shove the sprint is extended to meet the completion of the theme. Sound familiar?
Thinking in terms of a pull system rather than 'pushing' work into a sprint will go a long way. I've had students that said their software is extremely complex and nothing can be produced for weeks on end. Consider this – do you compile and check out what the code is doing only after the end of weeks – I hope not.
A 2 week sprint is 2 weeks of time, not an estimate of what the team thinks can be completed in 2 weeks which is then extended to accommodate the estimated features. You've got to think backwards, that will help quite a bit.

Weekly News - September 19th, 2015
This past week, we sent in our preliminary design report and finished the sanding of the top mold. Initial layups for the door were attempted on Wednesday with little success. The team went down to Indianapolis to pick up carbon fiber sheets, honeycomb coring, and epoxy to redo the door layup. The templates for the door mold were made and the carbon fiber and coring was cut to size and are now ready once again for layups next week.

And your hair is so long and cute...those half up styles will look amazing on you.Replies
You are always so sweet :) Thank you so much! Time certainly does fly when having fun! Actually I just googled some photographers in the Destin area and found three wonderful photographers! The only downside to beach photographers....they are NOT cheap but I think it will be something I will be so proud of so I have to start saving up! haha. I LOVE half up styles so hopefully I can find a hair lady down there who can do something with my hair for a good price!Delete
I can't find your email anymore! Did you take it off your settings? When you get this, email me at email@example.com......it's about our button swap!Delete
Ugh what in the world! I didn't take it off so Im not sure what happened there but you can email me at email@example.com :)Delete
What a great idea! I totally love it! And all these photos are gorgeous! I am dying to put on my wedding dress again- but it's so many states away from here! :(ReplyDelete
These pictures will be such a treasure!
Congrats on 7 months!Replies
Oh no! You need to have that thing shipped ASAP :) Im just hoping by the time our anniversary roles around that I can still fit in my dress! hah! Thank you so much sweet girl!!Delete
I love the idea of an anniversary shoot in your wedding dress on your 1 year anniversary. We had a quick courthouse wedding, so I just have a white sundress that I wore for ours ((and nothing all that cute...try finding white dresses in October!)). I have some sweet plans for it though, since a trash the dress wouldn't be all that fun in it ;)ReplyDelete
And love the hairstyles, too!!
Girl, we had a mega small wedding too. We almost went the courthouse but we decided to do it in a little tiny church last minute. I know how hard it is to find a dress in October!! I had never really thought of the whole trash the dress thing but I have been loving it since the photographer mentioned it. Let me know when you get ready for your photoshoot! :)Delete
We have a photo shoot every year just after our anniversary with our wedding photographer. It is so much fun to see how we change and how much more comfortable we are with one another as time goes by. The best part: Jason loves it all just as much as I do!ReplyDeleteReplies
Amber that is such a great idea! So sweet and I love photos to look back on throughout the years. Imagine looking back on your 50th anniversary :) I will definitely have to copy this idea from you!Delete
We hit the 10 month marker yesterday and I have been doing the same thing, dreaming of our one year photo shoot! I have had so much fun dreaming up props and poses! Love the trash the dress idea! :) cannot wait to see yalls anniversary pictures!ReplyDelete
What a fun idea! We didn't like our wedding photos and ended up having a shoot in our wedding day attire a few months after we got married. Can't wait to see your photos!ReplyDelete
This is something that I really want to do as well, an anniversary shoot in our wedding attire, but much more relaxed! I can't wait to see how your photos turn out : )ReplyDelete

We just got a free f-150 stx from our neighbor, fisher price power wheels. She said she just put a new battery in it but after charging it it still wouldn't work. Im clueless with all this stuff but thought I'd take it to at least see if I could get it working for my son. I googled it a bunch and some people said this issue can be related to the foot accelerator plunger type. So i took the pedal off and took out the plunger button thing, but before I order a new one, I wanted to make sure that was the problem. Is there anything else that could be wrong with it? Also, can the plunger thing be purchased locally or does it have to be ordered online?

It's a shame this surprise is being spoiled before Warner Bros. has a chance to make the announcement, but welcome to the Internet. The LA Times has word that the studio will announce a long-awaited team-up of two DC Comics superheroes with a film that will feature Batman and Superman in a major feature film here at Comic-Con. Details are scarce, but Man of Steel director Zack Snyder is expected to direct with a script from the film's writer David S. Goyer and star Henry Cavill putting on the cape again. However, don't expect Christian Bale to come back as The Dark Knight, as he indicated earlier this year. Read on!
The plan is to release the film in 2015, and there's rumblings that Christopher Nolan might end up producing, but that's not a certainty at this point. For years there have been hopes of a Batman vs. Superman movie, and while we're not sure what the story will entail, the prospect of Supes and The Bat coming together is pretty enticing, and will likely serve as a test to see how a Justice League film might work sometime down the road. It's an interesting move for Warner Bros. and DC Entertainment who have struggled to figure out how to bring their own superhero ensemble together, and we'll see how it pans out. If anymore details emerge from the panel later, we'll update this post, so stay tuned.
UPDATE: At the conclusion of the Warner Bros. panel at Comic-Con, Man of Steel director Zack Snyder was brought out with some kind of announcement regarding the next Superman movie. He tapdanced around the introduction, saying there was one element he could reveal about the film that would give fans an idea of what to expect. And to help out, he brought Man of Steel co-star Harry Lennix to read something that gave the game away. The actor read:
"I want you to remember, Clark. In all the years to come. In all your most private moments. I want you to remember, my hand at your throat. I want you to remember the one man who beat you."
For those who don't know, that's an excerpt from The Dark Knight Returns after Batman kicks Superman's ass. And after that was read, this little gem was thrown on the big screens (photo courtesy of Movie Moron):
That's right. A new Batman and Superman film is officially on the way. A press release says production is expected to begin in 2014 with a release planned in the summer of 2015. Zack Snyder is indeed directing with David S. Goyer writing the screenplay and Henry Cavill back as Superman. The release says a new Batman has yet to be cast, so Christian Bale is definitely not coming back. Stay tuned.

Shilpa Shetty was never the top Bollywood actress and she is now no longer even a leading actress in Bollywood. However, she has brought a huge honor for Bollywood by winning Big Brother, the celebrity reality show. She has won 100,000 British pounds but more than that she has earned a billion dollar achievement for herself. Yes, you can find reports about her all over the Internet now. I cannot think of any other Indian celebrity who has caught the spotlight in such a way like her.

Brishanti Weaver finished up her high school athletic career with the Newton High School Lady Rams on Monday when she officially signed her national letter of intent to attend Albany State University. She was awarded a full scholarship on athletics and academics, and she will continue her career with the Great Danes.
"It was not surprising at all about her (Brishanti) because she excels in everything she does," Lady Rams head softball coach Virginia Waters said.
As a senior, Weaver was on the All-Region team for softball and tennis. Weaver also excelled in the classroom, where her coach said she expected nothing less of her than on the field.
"Bri' has always been a really hard worker, but she's not one that you really have to push," Waters said. "She's self-driven; she's self-motivated, so all you really had to worry about with her was what you could help her with athletically."
In fact, it was the school's success in academics that attracted Weaver the most to choose it over the athletics.
"Even though it is a big school, it still gives me the education that I need and it helps me stay on the right track and right path that I want to go into," Weaver said.
Weaver said that in her four years as a varsity softball player, her favorite moments were the team's first year tournament when the Lady Rams received first place in the Silver Bracket and her first play of her senior year when she made a diving catch in the outfield.
Weaver said that even though she is about to graduate and depart from Newton, she does still expect to hear and see great things from her underclassmen teammates.
Weaver said, "I hope that they all just stay on the right path and that they keep in mind that grades are more important, but you still have to practice to work hard in what you believe in and persevere to keep on pushing."sports

John Locke believed that the purpose of the government was to help all people achieve equal natural rights, and that the government was obliged to protect and defend its citizens. Locke rejected the belief that some people were born to divinely rule over others simply because they belonged to a higher class. Locke firmly believed that even a monarchy should only reign with the consent of the people. His wayward, radical beliefs at the time made him a target for British monarchs that believed average citizens should stay in their place and out of government activities.
John Locke's ideas about the purpose of the government inspired the American Revolution and influenced the creation of the Declaration of Independence. Many believed that Locke's ideas were noble and right, and they wanted the spirit of equal rights and freedom to permeate the new government being created in America. Modern democracy evolved from the fundamental beliefs that Locke held. In his writings, Locke supported representative government and a system of checks and balances to prevent to government from possessing absolute power. Locke truly believed that citizens are capable of reasoning and governing themselves. He gravely warned that if people were continuously mistreated and denied their natural rights, they would rebel against the government.

When your assets are at stake, experience and reliability are a priority. St. Marie Financial Advisors will work independently and is not influenced by any obligations to banks or other financial service providers. We start by defining your financial goals and develop a financial plan. The decision to invest your money is based on qualitative and return-oriented criteria — evaluating the impact of every decision on your specific goals. We have summarized the basis of our work here:
Free Initial Meeting
We never charge any fee for an initial meeting. You will never be pressured to make decisions that are not in your best interest.
The thought that the complex can be made as simple as possible and no more. Investing can be one of the most complex endeavors of man. At St. Marie Financial we realize that we don't know everything but we strive to make financial decisions that will guide you toward your goals.
I undergo regular training to maintain a high degree of competence in the Financial Planning and Investment Advisory area. This includes annual continuing education requirements for the Certified Financial PlannerTM designation, along with weekly education on investment issues hosted by TD Ameritrade.
As a Fee-Based Financial Advisor, we are held to a Fiduciary standard. This means simply we are required to place the interests of the client ahead of out own interests. Not all brokers or advisors are held to this standard.
We have chosen TD Ameritrade Institutional as our custodian for client assets. TD Ameritrade Institutional works with over 4,000 independent Registered Investment Advisors. St Marie Financial Advisors and TD Ameritrade Institutional are separate firms.
We believe paying excessive fees for widely available investment strategies is one of the biggest detractors from long-term performance. The way we see it, clients should only pay premium fees for premium services. You do not need to pay an "expert" to help you pick a Fortune 100 company. Looking beyond normal everyday investments to those unique alternative investments is how we earn our fee. That and matching your goals with your investments.
As a Independent Fee Based Financial Advisor, the majority of my income is derived from annual fees for managing your investment portfolio. Recognizing the impact fees have on investment return, I try to keep my fees as low as possible. (Our Annual Fees average less than 1% per year) I also feel that annual management fees are a better choice for investors than large upfront commissions charged for investment products. Please feel free to contact me about my fee schedule and see the value you will receive by working with St. Marie Financial Advisors.
Because I am an independent financial advisor, I am also free to charge retainer fees or work for clients on an hourly basis as determined by the project.
I have made the decision to also sell life insurance. I am able to protect client's assets and lifestyle by using insurance products.

A couple of weeks ago we were invited for a meal at the new Beefeater in Whitley Bay. Going out with my two preschoolers veers between a living nightmare and hell on earth these days - we spend at least half of any mealtimes crouched down picking up beans from the floor - so I decided to take my sister and her three kids, aged 12, 11 and 5 as my taste testers.
Beefeater Whitley Bay is in a fab location, right on the sea front. The outdoor seating on the new Spanish City Plaza looks out to the waves and it is screaming out for sunny day drinks. On a warm day it would make a perfect place for a family meal out. I might even chance taking my toddlers, I find it easier to cope with them outside for some reason, them screaming about Mammy being on the toilet or suchlike feels a bit less conspicuous in the open air. The plaza has loads of room so if you are local to Whitley Bay it would be great to take the kids' scooters which they could play on whilst waiting for the food to arrive. It's also just across the road from Marine Park which is one of my favourite parks to visit with great equipment for toddlers and older kids including a splash pad for the elusive warm days that I appear to be obsessed with despite this post being published in November.
The restaurant itself is really nice, with quite a modern feel. There are lots of roomy booths to choose from all with cosy seating areas.
For kids
My primary consideration when reviewing anywhere for this blog is how child-friendly it is. The staff at Beefeater Whitley Bay were lovely with the kids and brought over an activity sheet and crayons for my 5 year old niece straight away. There were helium balloons on the backs of the chairs and staff came around with more for the kids to take home with them which was a nice touch. We didn't spot any toys or a kids area, and the layout of the restaurant meant there wasn't really anywhere I would have been able to let my toddlers play, but it was absolutely fine for the kids we had with us who were more than happy to stay at the table. There were lots of highchairs and a baby change in the loos so they had definitely thought of the smallest customers' needs.
My niece ordered from the kid's menu which is £5.49 for 2 courses and a squash (there was a cheaper option of 1 course or more expensive for 3 courses). I think this is pretty standard for kid's meal prices and at least it included a drink. The menu is really big with a choice of 10 mains including burgers, pizza, curry and even a child's steak and chips! The sides were equally as impressive with 10 options such as garlic bread, mini jacket potatoes and corn on the cob so even the fussiest of eaters should find something they like. My niece chose spaghetti bolognase for her main but whilst it usually goes down my pretty well she wasn't a fan of this one. Both me and my sister tried it and it did taste pretty bland.
The kids menu dessert faired much better through. We picked a 'premium pud' which means it costs 99p more than the standard ones included (ice cream, yogurt or fruit salad). I find the idea of paying more for certain desserts a bit annoying. As it means the kids meal actually cost £6.48 which is creeping into pretty expensive territory for me. But pricing aside, it was a great dessert. She got the mini doughnuts which came with a selection of toppings which she could put on herself. It looked and tasted really good, so a thumbs up from us.
The Food
The rest of us picked from the adult's menu. To begin with we went for the Beefeater Sharing Platter (£10.79) which was a good choice for the five of us to share. It included lamb kofta, garlic bread, chicken wings, garlic mushrooms and potato wedges. The food was tasty, the portion size was decent and meant we could all have a little try of everything.
For mains both of the boys chose Double bacon and cheese steak burgers (£11.99) which were huge and they were delighted with. Both of them ate all of it (apart from the salad obvs) and said they would definitely order it again.
My sister and I were pretty spoiled for choice. The menu is big with lots of different types of foods such as curry's, pastas, burgers and food from the grill. Because of the variety it would make a good place to eat out in a large group or if you have any fussy eaters as everyone should be able to pick something they would like.
We ordered from a specials menu and I didn't make the best choice. I fancied a salad, but I'm one of those people who want their salad to be accompanied with masses of carbs on the side be a proper meal. I went for a halloumi and mango salad (£10.99) and When it arrived I was a bit disappointed with how small it was. There were 4 bits of very pale halloumi wich really could have dome with an extra couple of minutes under the grill. It tasted okay but for the size and portion of halloumi I don't think it justified the price. In fairness to Beefeater Whitley Bay I can't remember whether this meal was one of the calorie controlled options so maybe that was why it was so small? My sister went for a chicken salad (£10.99) and it was much more substantial than mine. She said hers was tasted good, and it was presented really nicely.
For dessert me and the two boys shared a Mississippi Mud Pie (£5.29) and Rocky Road Sundae (£4.99). The mud pie was rich with a lovely crunchy and slightly salty (in a good way) base. The sundae was as gooey and tasty as we had hoped it would be. Overall the desserts were our favourite part of the meal with us all really enjoying them.
Our total bill for a kids meal, sharing starter, 4 meals, 2 desserts and 4 bottomless soft drinks was £81.51. The service was excellent. The staff were really attentive and accommodating with the kids and our meals and drinks were brought out very quickly. I think it veers on more of the expensive end of meals out. We went on a Sunday afternoon so there were no special offers in, but Beefeater Whitley Bay does have a reasonably lunchtime menu with a selection of meals for £5. So whilst I would go back I think we'll be returning for the lunchtime deal or head there in the summer after a trip to the park for a sharing platter and some drinks in the fab outdoor area rather than the more pricey evening meals. But if you are looking for a large wide ranging menu, in lovely surroundings then the Beefeater Whitley Bay could be perfect for your family meal out.
Have you visited Beefeater Whitley Bay yet? Where are your recommendations for great places to eat with families? We love reader recommendations, leave us a comment below.
Disclosure Policy - We received complimentary food and drink in return for an honest review. Unsurprising all of the random blabber and chuntering on in this post is my own. See the about us section of this website for the full corporate speak disclosure policy.

Jimmy Choo Pre-Fall 2017 Ad Campaign
The Jimmy Choo pre-fall 2017 ad campaign features the pre-fall collection of shoes and the models Steffy Argelich and Josh Upshaw. There are two different videos showing off the women's and the men's pre-fall 2017 Jimmy Choo shoe collection. The ad campaign was shot by Theo Wenner and styled by Sarah Richardson.
The creative director, Trey Laird was also on set. Cynthia Harvey created the tousled and chic hairstyles alongside Thomas De Kluyver, the makeup artist that created these goal-worthy and effortless appearing natural makeup looks. The styling overall was chic with a look like the models were trying to relax after a long day of being a well dressed, beautifully shod professional.
A brightly colored psychedelic mule is an incredible shoe that will stand out anywhere and everywhere, the one here being the Jimmy Choo Hustle 100 black suede mules with pink galaxy star print and studs. The block heel is not too high, the open peep toe is cute and the shape and design of the mule are stunning, garning a second more in-depth look after a double take. It's definitely a statement shoe in this collection, but true to Jimmy Choo style, this is not the only statement shoe in the lineup by any means.
The soft leather and metallic embellishments used for the Jimmy Choo Gigi flat tea rose mirror leather sandals with beads are exquisitely designed and detailed for maximum wearability. Hints of the favorite trends of the last few seasons make plenty of appearances throughout the collection " rose gold, ballet flat details and studs.
The Jimmy Choo Kamron 100 vintage rose suede round toe pumps with dégradé crystal stars feature a lace up design, creating a soft pink suede stiletto version of a sued ballet shoe. Customizing services are also going to be available for this collection.
"I wanted the new campaign to highlight the symmetry between the Jimmy Choo woman and man. The bold insouciance accompanied by a care free attitude,' elaborated the creative director of Jimmy Choo Sandra Choi. "The campaign and collection invite you to embrace a free-spirited aesthetic where there are no rules. The styles are not there to define you but enhance how you feel at that moment.'
This is certainly an easily translatable concept in the Jimmy Choo pre-fall 2017 ad campaign " it is beautifully shot and styled to give off exactly the aesthetic described by Sandra Choi. The bags included feature a range of embellishments from studs to crystals and tassels with soft leather or suede fringe.
Even the booties in the collection " like the Jimmy Choo Hartley 65 shaded python round toe booties with studs have a rock and roll touch to them that still matched beautifully with the soft, fluttering sheer pleated dress.

Real Wedding Kelsey + Stephen: Ranch Wedding in Hayley Paige Dori
Kelsey and Stephen selected Strawberry Creek Ranch in Granby, Colorado as their wedding venue in order to celebrate their love in full view of the magnificent Rocky Mountains. The ranch's aspen trees and colorful wildflowers served as a vibrant backdrop for Kelsey's dreamy "Dori" wedding gown (by Hayley Paige) and Stephen's crisp tux. The bridal and bridesmaids bouquets kept things fresh and romantic with a mix of anemones and sage.
The celebration was the epitome of simple elegance with a color palette of metallics, black, white, grey, and blue. We especially love all the cake options at the dessert table!

GulfSport restart as UAE distributor for Bell Helmets
Yesterday (14/6/17) GulfSport took the short flight to Bahrain to visit the new state of the art Bell Helmets factory based at the Bahrain International Circuit.
GulfSport Racing has been selling Bell Helmets since 2006, in fact the numbers show that 780 units have come in and out of our doors since then. However this stopped in 2016 when Bell suffered unforeseen problems when closing their factory in China and relocating to Bahrain.
But now they are fully functional and producing up to 150 helmets a day, serving the global market. With eight F1 drivers now wearing a Bell Helmet, interest and confidence in the product is at an all time high and great timing for GulfSport to start offering the range again.
Martin and Fred from GulfSport spent a full day touring the factory to witness the whole process from start to finish. All helmets are hand made taking a full 14 days to produce a single unit from raw material to a fully completed helmet.
Bell Factory Manager Aref Yazbek added –"It was great to meet the GulfSport Racing team and renew our business relationship. We are glad to serve the UAE market and have no doubts that GulfSport will be assisting all customer's needs. Looking forward to have more and more GCC drivers wearing Bell Helmets, especially now that it is 100% made in Bahrain!"
Quality control takes place at every stage to ensure build quality and that helmets fit within the strict FIA guidelines for weight. All R&D and testing is done in-house and recently Bell added a new Custom painting service in Bahrain.
GulfSport will be able to offer the full range of helmets and services offered by Bell, with this newly strengthened relationship, and with the factory only a short distance away will ensure total customer satisfaction and extremely competitive pricing.
We expect to receive the first batch for the start of the local season in September.

Beginner's Guide to Wikis
Are you new to IGN's wiki guides? Whether you're looking to create your own wiki or add to others, this page contains five very basic -- and very easy -- lessons you need to get started.
Making an Edit[edit]
Anyone who has an IGN account and is logged in can make an edit to a wiki page. Here are the three basic steps to editing any pages.
1) Click on the EDIT button at the top of the page and you will be whisked away to the wiki editor view. Go ahead and try it on this page, if you want!
2) In the wiki editor you can make changes to the body of the page you are currently viewing. Don't worry, any changes you make can be undone (or "rolled back").
3) Any changes you make will be saved when you hit SAVE in the upper right corner of the edit window.
Getting to Know the Wiki Editor
The wiki editor (or editing interface) should look familiar. There are multiple formatting options at the top of the editing window, including extremely handy paragraph headers, bullet points, and hyperlink tools.
Note that there are two tabs at the top of the wiki editor that say RICH TEXT EDITOR/WIKI MARKUP. You can write and layout a page easily with the Rich Text Editor, but you can freely switch back and forth between it and the Wiki Markup view, which shows the view of the page in wiki markup code -- which is also totally editable.
Words are boring, though. You can do so much more with the wiki editor! Like adding images...
Adding an Image[edit]
You can add images using the wiki editor. Hit EDIT and make sure you are in the Rich Text Editor view.
In the wiki editor there is a MEDIA LIBRARY for the wiki just to the right of the editor -- it's under the SAVE button. This has a tab for video and screenshots. Any existing images in the gallery can be added from the gallery by clicking on the gallery thumbnail. To upload a new image, follow these steps:
1) Click UPLOAD. This will open the image uploader box.
2) Select a file from your computer. You can upload up to 5 files at once. After selecting your files hit UPLOAD in the image uploader box. Close the uploader.
3) Your images should now appear in the Media Gallery to the right. Select your image from the gallery and click on it. It will appear wherever your cursor appears in the document.
Resizing an Image[edit]
When you add an image to a wiki page, it will automatically be resized to half page width so you can put two images side-by-side easily. To change the image size and properties, double click on the image in the wiki editor.
Here you can set the width and the image will automatically resize the height. 468px is the full page width of the wikis. You can also set the alignment -- align a small image to the right and text will wrap around it nicely!
Embedding a Video[edit]
You can add both IGN and YouTube videos to wikis. All you need is the URL of the video page.
In the Rich Text Editor, hit the button that looks like a film strip. Copy the URL from the YouTube or IGN video page and paste it into the field here and the video will appear wherever your cursor currently is in the wiki editor.
You can copy the small SPECIAL code box around the wiki editor freely if you need to move it. You can also embed videos useing wiki markup code.
Organizing the Nav[edit]
IGN wikis feature an awesome navigation bar, or "nav," on the left side of every page.
Here you'll find a well-organized list of wiki pages and topics. The navigation can be edited freely, but any changes you make to page names will not point to the old pages, so be careful not to lose track of pages (you can always check the history page)
To add to or adjust the nav, follow these steps:
1) Click EDIT NAV at the bottom of the gray navigation box.
2) In the nav editor you can add new pages (sections) by clicking + ADD PAGE. You also can add pages to sub-sections of existing pages.
3) Move around existing pages by clicking on them and dragging them up and down. This will affect what order they appear in the navigation.
Adding a Page[edit]
(See above!) Adding a page to the Nav is the best way to add pages to a wiki. Once you've added the page to the Nav and hit "Save," you can then click on the new link in the Nav and begin editing it.
Making Links[edit]
Linking within a wiki is incredibly important. To easily link to other articles within a wiki, you can simply highlight text in the rich text editor and hit the "chain" button.
Type in the name of the page in the wiki you would like to link to -- capitalization matters! -- and hit OK.
You can follow the same procedure to link to external sites, just enter the full URL of the site you'd like to link your selection to.
Pro tip: In the Wiki Markup View that you can use double brackets around a page title to easily link to another page. So:
Becomes: Making Links.
Just be sure your link doesn't link to an empty page. If it does, you can add a redirect to another page or fill out the new empty page yourself.
Citing Sources[edit]
Sources are a unique type of link that generally link to another reliable (non-wiki) source, like IGN!
The best way to add a source is to enter the Wiki Markup View of the editor and add single brackets around your source URL.
Becomes: The Legend of Zelda was released in 1987. [n]
A nifty link is even added as a footnote at the bottom of the page, automatically!
Moderating Wiki Edits[edit]
Anything done in a wiki can be undone -- it's easy! You have the power to undo the edits of others. But with great power comes basic politeness and a bit of responsibility!
Hit HISTORY in the top right of any page to view and/or edit history of that page. Here you can see the editor who made the change and when the change was made. On the right are three tools:
- Click the magnifying glass to view the previous version of the page.
- Click the sheets of paper to compare changes made in that revision. Additions are marked in yellow and deletions marked in red.
- Click on the blue arrow to UNDO the changes made. Clicking the blue arrow leaves a note on the page that the revision was undone -- and you can always go back to a previous revision. It's kind of like time travel!
Pro Tip: Click Wiki Tools in the Nav and then click Recent Changes to see a history page for the entire wiki!
When you undo another user's change, you are given the option to leave a note -- please do so, and explain why you made the change. It's common courtesy.

Ok, now that we've talked about the basic ways to make money, let's talk about how to keep more of that money. If I give one child $5 a week allowance and give them all the free candy they can eat, then I give a second child $10 a week allowance and make them pay for their own candy, which child do think has more money at the end of the week? And which one do think is probably happier? Financial planners will tell you it's not about what we earn, it's about what we keep.
Amenities are items that the promoter pays for that the artist receives as partial compensation. Though this can be virtually anything, typically it includes lodging, food, and mileage. Free lodging for a band of 5 members could easily save $30,000 over the course of a year. Free food added into contracts could be another $7,500 in savings. I've even seen larger bands contracts where restocking the tour bus is part of the addition compensation.
Mileage is, in essence, a way for the artist to be paid for the gas and expense of traveling to/from a venue. This may be written as $.35 cents a mile reimbursement for mileage with a maximum charge for 1000 miles. If the band drives 400 miles to get to the next venue, then the charge would be $140. For our contracts, we use the most direct route on mapquest.com. This allows us to show what we are charging for while assuring the venue we are not overcharging.
Businesses run on the bottom line, and touring musicians must do so as well. If run improperly, tours can lose a lot of money. Having a contract that guarantees payment with lodging, food, and mileage covered can set a bands mind at ease before they go out on the road.
