What's the best way to provide a relaxing setting for your family? Why not turn your basement into a great bar area.
Your friends and family will be thrilled with the new area and you'll be glad that you did your homework.
Decorating an old conventional kitchen with a modern look is just a start. There are many great basement kitchen bar ideas that are sure to appeal to you and your family.
If you really want to be unique, consider using industrial designs. A few advantages of having a basement kitchen bar include:
Bunk-rooms in basements can be converted into good nooks for cooking and eating. When your basement is used as a kitchen, your food can be stored or refrigerated in another part of the house. You might use the basement for entertaining.
A basement kitchen bar can be a great addition to your home, whether you live alone or have friends and family over.
There are several ways to design a basement kitchen bar. You might consider painting it or revamping the existing floor with a coat of paint.
When remodeling a basement kitchen bar, the materials used will be limited to those mentioned above.
The first main material you need to consider is the hardware. You might want to build a wall behind the bar and this will allow you to have access to the kitchen and give your guests more space.
Some people opt to build a table or counter, but you will have to do some planning and budgeting to determine how large you want your bar to be.
Consider how much storage space you need. You don't want to run out of space for your favorite bar ware when there is nowhere else to put it. You also need to consider the color scheme you're going to use.
Many basement kitchen bar ideas use an industrial style. This gives it a sturdy appearance while still allowing you to access the area.
Another advantage of using industrial design is that it can blend with the rest of your home.
The most difficult part of a basement kitchen bar is designing the design and placement of the sink, light fixtures, and other equipment.
You can find plans for your basement kitchen bar online or at a bookstore. It can be quite intimidating to start out a project like this.
Take your time to plan out all of the features and even lay out the flooring. Consider having a professional come out and walk you through the layout.
If you are interested in having a bar in your basement kitchen, you need to do your homework.
You should carefully think about what you are going to do in this location. You don't want to be too formal, and you don't want to be too casual either.
You will also want to be sure that your space doesn't look cluttered. If you have a lot of appliances, you can use them for decoration.
You don't want to clutter your space too much, but you also don't want to have anything other than furniture in the space.
When you are looking for a basement kitchen bar to use, you will find that you are limited on what type of furniture you can have.
The equipment, lighting, and bar stools mentioned are common fixtures. You might be able to find items such as a sofa for the bar, but you won't be able to find a dresser or television for the space.
These are important things to remember when you are designing your space. If you don't put in the thought into the layout, you will end up with a room that doesn't meet your expectations.
Use your basement kitchen bar to the best of your ability and when you have finished decorating, you can make it your own.
Your dream of having a new house is being taken by another one – the dream of putting a kitchen in your basement. You are deeply suspicious whether it's possible to make this happen or not.
Well, you don't have to worry too much. The following article will be more than helpful for you.
The idea of putting a kitchen in your basement has been around for decades now. In fact, your grandparents, your parents and even your wife may have done the same.
They would pay a good sum of money to a basement contractor to help them get their dream house.
You can also ask around your friends about what they think about the possible way of getting a kitchen in their basement.
How about asking some other people from your circle who have basement houses and are working on one. It is always a big help to get someone who has experience in doing this kind of project. Their ideas are likely to be a lot more accurate than your own.
The first thing that you should do is to determine what you really want. Why do you want to put a kitchen in your basement?
Is it because you want to renovate it so that it can get more use? Or is it because you want to sell it or would like to have a party in it?
There is no important decision to be made here. No matter how creative you are or how much you want to do this, you can just do this. Your decision will be much easier if you know what you want.
Another important decision is how big the basement is. If it is small then it won't require that much space for the kitchen.
If it is small enough then it might take up your whole house too. So, size the house appropriately. But don't make the mistake of doing this too late, because it will all be wasted.
When you already know the dimensions of the basement then you should move on to the next step of looking for a contractor.
A kitchen contractor is the key in this endeavor. In order to be successful at any type of project, a contractor must be trusted.
And trust can only be established when you are 100% sure that they are trustworthy.
Before you start negotiating with them, you should consider whether you have the big sum of money needed for a renovation or not. If you do then you can ask your contractor to come up with you at the right price.
On the other hand, if you don't have any of this money then you can consider consulting a house remodeling company.
Make sure that the kitchen contractor is certified. This is because you should never have to pay the bills to a contractor who is not certified. Get references from your friends and relatives.
When your budget allows it, then go with the kitchen contractor who has a large clientele. Since this is the most important part of the project, you should ensure that he/she is the best one available.
Find out the reasons why they are the best and if you find the reason worthy enough then go ahead and sign on the contract.
The last but not least important step is the drafting of the contract. This contract is used as the basis for negotiations between you and the contractor. You should have a signed agreement before the work starts.
Before starting the project of renovating your basement, find out whether it is possible to put a kitchen in it. It will give you peace of mind. So, get ready to start dreaming!
This is a question that can be very intimidating for many homeowners. The question often times get even more intimidating when you don't know how much it costs to put a kitchen in the basement.
I'm going to discuss some of the most popular ways to save money on kitchen construction and renovation.
The first step that you need to take is making sure that you are going to spend the money you are saving on a new kitchen.
Once you have the funds ready to go, you can then begin the renovation process.
The advantage to having a new kitchen built into your home is that it will make the floor area feels larger than it actually is. You can still get the same amount of space without sacrificing looks.
A good example is that a huge master bedroom in a home with an open floor plan will look like a secret door and will also feel less cluttered.
New kitchens come in several different sizes and shapes. You may want to choose one that suits your needs and one that will blend in with the existing architecture.
When you are looking at this renovation, you should always check out the kitchen's dimensions. I know that you may think that you can just pick up a kitchen set from the local store and it will fit perfectly. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Interior designers know exactly what is important and what is not. Even though it may seem like the perfect kitchen will be available, you may be surprised at the costs. The average new kitchen will be about thirty thousand dollars.
The kitchen's size should be considered during the remodeling process. For example, if you have an ample amount of room to work in, then you should consider a small kitchen and a large kitchen if you only have a small amount of room.
It is possible to add a new kitchen to your home through the construction process.
However, some people decide to renovate their home rather than go to a contractor. If you go this route, make sure that you are 100% comfortable with the results.
There are two main types of kitchen renovation that you can do. First, you can renovate a kitchen with no foundations.
Then, you can choose to excavate and replace your kitchen floor and walls with solid brick or concrete.
These types of projects can be done by yourself or with the help of an expert who specializes in kitchen design.
When you have a full-scale kitchen redesign in the design stage, the professionals will save you time and money.
After you have your new kitchen designed, the contractors can help you incorporate new appliances and other features into the kitchen.
If you decide to do all of the changes yourself, it is possible to save a great deal of money. On the other hand, you can choose to hire a professional to get the job done.
Kitchen renovations are more costly when you choose to renovate your kitchen from scratch.
There are different expenses involved when doing the kitchen remodeling like the plumbing, electrical, and plumbing fixtures. I hope this information will help you as you start out your renovation.
If you are the type of person who enjoys spending time in your basement, you probably want to decorate your basement bar.
The cost of renovations can be high, but there are many ways to keep your expenses down and still get what you want. Here are a few tips to help you get started.
Many people feel that they just cannot decorate their basements as they would other rooms.
They are afraid that anything done to the room will be ruined and that the basement will be a dark, damp, creepy place.
This is a common misconception. Here are some things you can do to keep the space nice and inviting.
Get yourself a nice clean carpet. It does not have to be expensive, but you should be able to find something that is nice and looks good. The carpeting on the floor, along with new or antique lighting, can really make your basement bar a nice area to spend time in.
Buy some nice furniture. There are many options available, including modern tables and chaises and armoires.
Make sure you have good lighting. Choose some nice, dim overhead lighting and dim sum down on the floor.
You can put small lights under your bar stools or throw in a light above the bar. You want to keep the area nice and comfortable, even in the darkness.
Choose some natural light and brighten it up a bit with a chandelier or spotlights.
You can have any kind of style you like, including bar stools and lounge chairs with mismatched pieces, or just plain wood furniture with a nice accent to it. The key is to add brightness and be sure that it does not look very tacky.
Take the time to think about where you want to go with your decorating. If you are considering putting up some kind of entertainment system, consider what the main entertainment options are in your area.
If you do not want your basement to be your home bar, consider adding a covered patio area or outside area in your basement.
Do some testing before you start painting, but also make sure that the space is nice and dark enough for you to be able to see and enjoy your drink without having to squint.
It also needs to be dark enough to be comfortable with relaxing and taking care of business.
Decorating in the dark is nice, but you want to make sure that it is nice and bright enough for your guests as well.
For this reason, you may need to look at different lights and fixtures that you can use around the bar area.
This is a good time to talk to friends or relatives and see what types of lights and fixtures they have in their basements that they can use.
Remember that lighting and the placement of the lights are important, but you also need to look at what kind of windows and lighting you are going to need.
You may want to replace them with frosted ones and to hang some string lights around the place. They can be fun and add a nice touch to your basement bar.
Keep the space looking nice and inviting and you will have a successful project that everyone will love.
Look for places to display photos of family and friends. Maybe you can create a guest book or put up some interesting pictures that have a meaning to you.
Don't forget that you want a nice place to relax after work. A great place to look can be your local bookstore.

Jacksonville, Fla. student Seth Owen, 18, had a 4.16 GPA and all the promise of the future. He just had no money to make it a reality. After his parents kicked him out of the house for being gay, he was on his own.
That's when the town chipped in to help fund his college education and raised over $120,000 (the original crowdfunding goal was set at $100,000) so that he could attend Georgetown University.
However, an incredible thing happened after all the money was raised: Georgetown decided to waive his tuition. Completely.

MINEOLA, N.Y. – Nassau County District Attorney Madeline Singas announced that a high-ranking MS-13 gang member was sentenced to 23 years to life in prison for murder and related charges for the July 2017 killing of a 15-year old in Roosevelt.
Victor Lopez, also known as Persa, 31, of Roosevelt, pleaded guilty on December 11, 2019, before Judge Patricia Harrington to charges of Murder in the Second Degree (an A-I felony), Conspiracy in the Second Degree (a B felony) and Conspiracy in the Fourth Degree (an E felony).
His associate, David Sosa-Guevara, also known as Risky, 28, of Wyandanch, was sentenced to 24 years to life in prison on February 7 for his role in the crime.
"A 15-year-old boy was brutally murdered because this gang perceived this child as an "enemy," DA Singas said. "Today's life sentence of this gang lieutenant and last week's life sentence of the MS-13 clique's leader has dealt a significant blow to this criminal organization. We will continue to fight against any resurgence of MS-13 with all our dedicated law enforcement partners until they are eradicated from Nassau County.
DA Singas said that Lopez was a high-ranking lieutenant in MS-13's Hollywood Clique and a close associate of David Sosa-Guevara, the head of the clique on Long Island. Lopez oversaw the members of the Hollywood Clique in Nassau and Suffolk counties and directed enforcement within the gang subgroup.
Angel Soler was murdered on July 21, 2017, in Nassau County. The victim's body was mutilated – bearing injuries consistent with the use of a machete – and he suffered blunt force trauma to the head. Soler was left buried until his remains were discovered under cement on October 19, 2017, in a remote wooded area in Roosevelt, just south of the Southern State Parkway. The defendant admitted luring Soler to the location.
The defendant was arrested by members of the Nassau County Police Department on January 11, 2018.
Sosa-Guevara pleaded guilty on December 9, 2019, to murder and conspiracy charges.
Deputy Chief Jared Rosenblatt of DA Singas' Major Offense Bureau, Deputy Chief Veronica Guariglia and Assistant District Attorney Charles Dunn of the Special Operations and Narcotics Bureau are prosecuting this case. The defendant is represented by Maureen McBride, Esq.
The Nassau County District Attorney thanks the following agencies for their assistance in this investigation:

Research shows that premature and sick babies' health is improved when their parents are supported to take the lead in care such as through skin to skin care, breastfeeding and comfort holding.
One of the biggest barriers to families is a lack of overnight accommodation on or near the neonatal unit. As a result, parents across the country are having to cut their time with their baby short so they go home to sleep.
More than a third of all units do not have dedicated accommodation for parents of critically ill babies who live many miles from home, and only five out of 29 neonatal intensive care units have enough accommodation to meet national standards.
Overnight accommodation is not a 'nice to have'. It is an essential part of neonatal services and vital for allowing parents to participate in their baby's care.
When we raised this issue during the last Parliament the Government assured us that £37 million was provided over two years to improve maternity and neonatal units across the country.
But the reality is that only one percent of this investment actually went to neonatal services to improve their facilities for families.

Accessing floppy drives when your Mac runs on OS X El Capitan
Here's the situation. You own a Mac running OS X El Capitan. It runs great.
Now someone important to you; your boss, your significant other, your business partner, needs you to access old physical media to copy the files over to a hard drive or flash drive. You told them you'd have no difficulty doing so before you saw the media.
And now you can't turn back.
Don't Panic. At least not yet. I'm here to give you tips and techniques for accessing old forms of physical media last used in the 1990s on a Mac.
For the purposes of this article, I will assume you received a box with:
1. Old Windows high-density (1.44 Mb/ disk) and double-density (720 K/ disk) media.
2. Old Macintosh high-density (1.4 Mb/disk)
3. Old CD-ROMs with data you want to retrieve.
4. Old ZIP disks in the 100 Mb and 250 Mb size.
Here's what you can do with them.
1. OS X stopped recognizing floppy drives when OS X 10.11 El Capitan came out. Fortunately, older versions of OS X, starting with OS X 10.10 Yosemite and going back to the beginning, do recognize floppy drives and disks.
2. All version of OS X recognize CDs and DVDs. You only need a USB CD/DVD drive that you can purchase through various computer retailers for $25 to $40. Just plug it into a USB port.
3. Curiously enough, OS X El Capitan does recognize old ZIP disks. I have read ZIP 100 and ZIP 250 disks using a ZIP 250 USB drive that I purchased on eBay. If you right-click or control-click on the desktop icon, you get a menu with several options, such as ejecting the media from the drive.
For floppy disks. I will go through the best scenario to the worst scenarios.
1. Your new Mac came with OS X El Capitan preinstalled from the retailer. Fortunately, your old Mac that you put on the shelf in the closet runs an older version of OS X. Just take it down, clean off the dust, plug in a USB floppy drive and a flash drive or external USB hard drive, and you're in business.
2. The box of disks you received are strictly MS-DOS/Windows format. You still have an old Windows XP/Windows 98/Windows 7 machine that contains a working floppy drive. Again, take it down from the shelf, clean it up, and you're in business. You just need a flash drive of sufficient capacity or an external USB hard drive.
3. You acquired your Mac before OS X El Capitan came out and showed the good sense to make a bootable clone of the internal hard drive on a external USB hard drive. Just in case. You probably used either Super-Duper or Carbon Copy Cloner to do. Great! Just take the bootable clone and plug it into a free USB port. Go to System Preferences and choose Startup Disk. Select the bootable clone and reboot. You're back in business.
4. Your Mac came from the factory with a version of OS X before OS X 10.11 came out and you've upgraded to OS X 10.11. You don't have any bootable clones. Take a deep breath. You do have options, but you need to spend some cash and exercise some patience.
5. You don't have bootable clones and this Mac came with OS X 10.11 already installed at the factory. You've never owned a Mac before. It's your only working computer.
Take a deep breath. I'll outline several options for you. You'll have to spend some cash to solve the problem. I'll lay out some options, but you may just want to go on-line to Powermax.com to order an older Mac for $200.
I'm breaking this tutorial into sections so it doesn't clog your Web browser. On to Scenario #1

From Backstage
Fans of Starz's time-travel drama "Outlander" may be surprised that no one asked Sam Heughan to take his shirt off during the audition process.
That may sound reasonable, but as viewers know, Heughan spends much of his onscreen time flashing some serious skin—and as it turns out, the series lucked out with the Scot when it comes to physiques.
"I've been in many auditions thinking, God, do I have to take my shirt off? It's quite a physical role…," Heughan says while his co-star—and onscreen nemesis—Tobias Menzies chuckles across the table. "It's quite exposing, actually. But no, they didn't [ask]. And at the time, I was keeping quite fit. So it was all right!"

Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour is embracing his background as one of Washington's top lobbyists, saying his powers of persuasion would be an asset if he wins the White House.
But an Associated Press review of lobbying by the powerhouse firm Barbour helped found before his first campaign for governor shows that he represented clients on issues and interests that could provide his Republican primary opponents ample ammunition and raise eyebrows among some Republican voters. How Barbour addresses his lobbying past could determine his fate if he decides to seek the Republican nomination.
Barbour Griffith & Rogers Inc., which Barbour helped establish in 1991, represented foreign governments on trade and immigration issues, advocated for a fuel additives association that was working in opposition to the ethanol industry dear to Iowa voters, and helped a number of universities get federal funding through a tactic that is anathema to cut-spending conservatives.
The governor has said that rather than be fodder for opponents, his lobbying background would help him be an effective leader.
"When I became governor, I became lobbyist for the taxpayers of Mississippi. And if I become president, I'll become the advocate for the policies and interests of America. That's what presidents do for a living — very similar to what lobbyists do for a living," he told reporters Saturday in Roebuck, S.C.
Being a lobbyist has its rewards. Barbour's lobbying work gave him personal wealth, access to key members of Congress and contacts that could help him lay the groundwork for a presidential campaign. When Hurricane Katrina devastated the Gulf coast in 2005, Barbour was credited with using his Washington ties to help Mississippi receive billions in federal aid. His economic development agenda helped bring a Toyota plant to Blue Springs, near Tupelo, and a Severstal steel facility to Columbus. He is visiting Capitol Hill on Tuesday to meet with Republican lawmakers on health care and Medicaid changes that he oversaw in Mississippi, as Congress wrestles this week with those issues.
Barbour served as chairman of the Republican National Committee from 1993 until January 1997 and then built an impressive list of clients at the firm, including Bristol-Myers Squibb, CBS, Comcast, Delta Air Lines, Lockheed Martin, Microsoft and Qwest Communications. When he was elected Mississippi governor in 2003, Barbour put his assets in a blind trust and has received monthly retirement or severance payments from the firm. Barbour's son, Reeves, joined the firm in January.
The governor's work at the firm could open him to attacks by fellow Republicans on several fronts:
• IMMIGRATION: His firm collected more than $400,000 in fees from the Mexican government in 2001-02 to lobby on immigration reforms sought by the Bush administration to provide a pathway to citizenship for illegal immigrants and expand a temporary worker program to allow immigrants to work in the U.S. The firm also lobbied on the implementation of the North American Free Trade Agreement, border issues, drug trafficking and energy and environmental issues. Some conservative Republicans opposed the pathway to citizenship.
Lanny Griffith, now the firm's chief executive officer, told Mexican Ambassador Juan Jose Bremer in an Aug. 15, 2001, letter that "immigration/human capital" and the "treatment of Mexican citizens who cross the border" would be among the key areas covered by the contract. The firm said in an October 2001 filing with the government that it was seeking "enactment of legislation relating to the status of Mexican nationals currently residing in the United States."
"All resources of our firm will be available to you, but we have designated a team of professionals who will concentrate on your work. Haley Barbour and I will lead the BG&R team," Griffith wrote in the letter to Bremer, noting another lobbyist would manage the day-to-day workload.
Asked Saturday about the Mexican account, Barbour said, "In our firm, I didn't do the work for Mexico."
Efforts to change U.S. immigration laws stalled in Congress after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
During that period, Barbour's firm also represented the Bolivian government on trade and counter-narcotics and Honduras on food assistance programs and immigration. Describing the Honduran account, the firm said in December 2002 it was monitoring "events with regard to U.S. immigration policy in Central America."
Demetrios Papademetriou, president of the Migration Policy Institute, an immigration think tank, said through a spokeswoman that he only had a slight recollection of Barbour being part of the discussions and recalled Griffith being more involved.
Even if Barbour played a minor role in the immigration discussions, his firm's connection to Mexico could raise questions among conservatives who oppose efforts to ease immigration policies.
• ETHANOL: From 2000 to 2004, Barbour's firm received $860,000 in fees from the Oxygenated Fuels Association, a trade association that represented companies that produced fuel additives for gasoline, including methyl tertiary butyl ether, or MTBE. The trade group was often at odds with the ethanol industry, a direct competitor in the oxygenated fuels market and a powerful force in Iowa, home of the nation's first presidential caucus.
In the 1990s, the federal government required a minimum level of oxygen in gasoline to help fuel burn more cleanly, prompting most refiners to use MTBE, although some used ethanol. Farm-state lawmakers tried to help bolster ethanol's use as an oxygenate but ran into opposition from oil interests and those representing MTBE.
In 1999, the Environmental Protection Agency urged the phasing out of MTBE after it found that the additive could leak into ground water and pollute drinking water. Several states banned MTBE in gasoline.
During the period Barbour's firm represented the trade group, the fuels association often criticized the ethanol industry's federal subsidies and argued that using ethanol in reformulated gasoline would raise costs.
In 2000, the trade group pointed to a study by the Congressional Research Service that found using ethanol in reformulated gasoline would raise costs for motorists in Chicago and Milwaukee. David Liddle, an OFA spokesman at the time, said the study "proved conclusively that ethanol is not ready for prime time" as an additive in gasoline.
"The ethanol industry is fleecing the citizens of this country. Through its massive 54-cents-per-gallon federal subsidy, it has its hands in the taxpayers' pockets on the production end, and … is siphoning money from the wallets of consumers at the pump," Liddle said in June 2000, a few months after Barbour's firm began representing the trade group.
MTBE manufacturers later sought product liability protection from lawsuits over drinking water contamination, a provision that failed to win approval in Congress. A 2005 energy law required the use of more ethanol and lifted an oxygenate requirement, prompting refiners to stop using MTBE as an additive.
It remains unclear whether the connections, now a decade old, will affect Barbour's standing with corn farmers who produce ethanol in Iowa. Matt Hartwig, a spokesman for the Renewable Fuels Association, which represents ethanol producers, said they hoped "Gov. Barbour, after spending significant time in the state, appreciates the role ethanol and renewable energies can and must play in our nation's energy strategy."
• FEDERAL SPENDING: Barbour's firm lobbied on behalf of three universities, including the University of Mississippi, his alma mater, helping secure tens of millions of dollars in federal funding.
The projects included $850,000 for educational programs and the preservation of Rowan Oak, the Oxford, Miss., home of author William Faulkner; $500,000 to train workers on real-time captioning for the hearing-impaired; $350,000 to digitize accounting periodicals at a University of Mississippi library; and nearly $3 million to create an economic development center at the University of Southern Mississippi. The center, which was named after former Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott, opened in 2010.
Tea party activists, a key bloc in the GOP, have railed against using tax dollars for pork barrel projects. While the money was ultimately approved by Congress, Barbour could face questions over his commitment to cutting federal spending.
Other former clients could pose tripwires. Democratic Gov. Ronnie Musgrove assailed Barbour's ties to the tobacco industry during their 2003 gubernatorial campaign. Barbour's firm received more than $2 million in fees from tobacco companies from 1999-2002, according to lobbying filings, but Barbour was able to overcome the criticism to win the 2003 race with 53 percent and cruise to re-election four years later. The tobacco connection probably would become fodder in the general election if Barbour wins the GOP nomination next year.
John Geer, a Vanderbilt University political scientist who has studied presidential politics, said that while Barbour's lobbying past might be a negative with some voters, he could use it as a way to show his understanding of policy and governing. "He can't hide from his record. He has to make it an asset."

2014 Update – Venue no longer does ladies night – check out their website for deal updates 🙂
Didn't even realize that they had Ladies Night here on Mondays until I saw it pop up on my Facebook wall! Went there for a very quick drink with a few others after 9pm and well, honestly – it's just 'Ok'.
Well, to give it some credit, the view itself is quite spectacular although J keeps saying it looks the same as anywhere else. Ha ha that's how spoilt we are in Dubai isn't it! You're on a rooftop bar overlooking SZR to the north so the Burj Khalifa is twinkling in the distance. Look down and you see 360, its purple lights amidst the calm Gulf waters. The Burj Al Arab and its ever-changing colours, right next to it. Orange last night, I think. So definitely thumbs up for views, which could be quite a wow for tourists to Dubai, and it's not too far high up since it's only on the 24th floor.
But! Being picky as I am, it's not really somewhere I'll go back ay. Girls get 3 free drinks, and if you're wearing red you get canapes and a glass of bubbly as well. I had a shot-glass of blue liquour which was pretty strong but not so nice. Reminded me a little of the very sour cocktail they served at Dek on 8's ladies night.
Go there once maybe and see if you like it?

For Urinary Tract Infections
Editor: Yael Rosenberg, RN, B.S.H
Cranberry Juice - "Drink Cranberry juice", Bubbe would command, "so you won't get urine infections." Well, in 1991, a group of Israeli scientists found that cranberry juice as well as blueberry juice inhibits a bacterium that commonly causes infections of the bladder.
Garlic – Another unique and unusual old-fashioned remedy for bladder infections is to take a teaspoon of pure garlic juice.
If your grandmother, aunt, or neighbor revealed an old-fashioned remedy to you, and you would like to share it with us all, please send it to firstname.lastname@example.com

Are there really failed marriages and relationships or do we just change?
I met an interesting man while travelling in Africa. We stayed at his hotel on a remote island in Mozambique. It had been his dream to run a resort. His great passion is the sea. Before he built his hotel he did many jobs in different industries but would always retreat to the ocean in the evenings and on weekends, fishing for endless hours, scuba diving, and snorkelling.
One night over drinks he talked to me about his "failed" marriage. He said he was still grieving the loss of his wife and regular contact with the children. But he told me something that surprised me. "The problem was that she hated the sea. She wouldn't even walk on a beach. She hated sand … We always fought about it."
Strangely on the same trip I met a woman whose passion was surfing. Similarly, she had spent many years with a bookish intellectual who couldn't understand her need to get up every morning and drive to the surf; accusing her of not loving him enough to stay in bed. Continue Reading →

Definition: Cyber crime (frequently conflated to one word, cybercrime) is any illegal activity directed against a computer or computer network with the intent of damaging, disclosing, stealing or denying information. These criminal activities may be perpetrated by a variety of individuals ranging from simple unauthorized access by a "script kiddie" to international organized crime. Information security is very important. An organization must have security policies that address the problem.
The entire Internet is saturated with predatory attackers dedicated to the harming information infrastructures. Targets are routinely scouted for vulnerabilities, identified and then intruded upon. The total dollar loss per year is in the billions.
Its Relevance: An individual or business organization faces tremendous risks doing online business. An individual can lose his or her identity. Proprietary information can be stolen, assets can be damaged or destroyed and business continuity can be lost. A well-documented and systematic information assurance plan is the only way to prevent losses. Cyber criminals can gain access in a system and remain there for months or even longer.

Against the backdrop of the Keweenaw's late winter snow, a competition to reduce snowmobile noise and fuel consumption, highlights a commitment to an environmentally-sustainable future for the sport.
The 2018 SAE International Clean Snowmobile Challenge has become one of the world's foremost student innovation contests, with teams presenting designs that improve noise levels and fuel economy, lower emissions and still provide a fun sled ride. These student innovations could one day lead to new commercially-available sleds, which pushes performance boundaries of current snowmobiles.
This colorful event is more just fun and games—it is a chance to collaborate with industry experts and connects to the real-world, providing a win-win situation for outdoor enthusiasts, snowmobilers, manufacturers, land managers and environmental advocates. The zeal, ambition and confidence of participants hovers in the air. Team spirit and the support of industry and experts, urging success for various teams, provides cooperation, coordination and creativity. This year, 21 competing teams came to the Keweenaw Peninsula to showcase their innovations; which team will wear the crown?
Clean Snowmobile Challenge 2018
Judging from the seriousness of the teams making adjustments to their sleds and the readiness of the riders for the 60-mile endurance run to Copper Harbor on Tuesday, one can confidently say that all participating teams were potential winners. The teams that successfully completed the endurance run: Ecole De Technologie Superieure, University of Minnesota - Duluth, University of Idaho, Michigan Tech, Indiana University - Purdue University Indianapolis, University of Minnesota - Twin Cities, Ferris State, Kettering University and SUNY - Buffalo.
Through the rest of the week, competitors face a range of complex issues, such as finding ways to deliver optimal efficiency, acceleration and handling, optimum static display, cold start and sustainable designs that meet noise standards. These engineering projects harness the enthusiasm and potential of students to re-engineer existing snowmobiles for sustained endurance and energy efficiency.
"The competition is not about who finishes first ... it is a test of endurance, attentiveness to rules by riders, general performance, fun riding and environmental impacts."
In this year's competition, snowmobiles are powered by a special gasoline or diesel mix. However, internal combustion engines produce air pollution emissions due to incomplete combustion of fuel. The modified snowmobiles are expected to be quieter, more fuel-efficient and burn cleaner than unmodified sleds.
Lee Knoll, operations director at the engineering company AVL, has been helping students test their snowmobiles at the competition for three years.
"The 'dyno' (dynamometer) gives the torque measurement, which is the physical measurement that enables the calculation of the engine's horse power, which participants need to be within a specified range," Knoll says. "The tail pipe emissions are taken and sampled for particulates and emissions—nox (nitrous oxide), carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, among others. What comes out of the tail pipe must be as clean as possible, according to certain parameters, which is the main goal of the Clean Snowmobile Challenge."
Michigan Tech: A Place for Engineering and Snow
The Michigan Tech team was challenged by the Yamaha Motor Corporation to reduce the existing noise level of a 2015 Yamaha Venture-RS sled by two decibels. Anthony Rettig, a fifth-year mechanical engineering student and member of the Michigan Tech team, expressed his endless joy for being part of this challenging project that gives students the opportunity to work on real industry equipment and solve real-world problems.
"It is a good opportunity because Professor Jason Blough is our advisor and he allows us to get hands-on experience by using expensive equipment that costs twice our daily budget—a rare opportunity for many students in this field," Rettig says.
The intent of the Clean Snowmobile Challenge is to develop a snowmobile that is acceptable for use in environmentally sensitive areas, such as national parks or other pristine areas, as well as formulate novel solutions to maintain a snowmobile's performance with less cost. The byproduct of this event is bringing students, industry, experts and the public together to bridge communities in a meaningful engineering project. Congratulations to all participants of the 2018 SAE International Clean Snowmobile Challenge!

Whisper Ridge
Home to Dreams
October 2, 1992--April 12, 1996
So reads the strange epitaph carved beside the door of the home called Whisper Ridge, a multimillion-dollar piece of architectural majesty that once housed the beginnings of a unique program for paroled murderers. The program never got off the ground, however, despite how passionate a woman named Alexandra Cantrell, daughter of a notorious Mafia don, and her husband, Joshua, had been about it. Still uninhabited twelve years later, the house remains as a strange monument to dangerous secrets, falling into ruin as the forest grows up around it.
While the couple's abrupt exit was unusual, it was also not regarded as suspicious - until the bones of Alexandra's husband are found buried in the woods.
Private investigator Lincoln Perry isn't thrilled about the situation or his client: Parker Harrison served fifteen years for murder but claims Alexandra's intervention saved his life. Now he wants to find her - and he's not the only one.
What seems at first like the simplest of jobs proves to be an undertaking that will challenge both Perry's abilities as a detective and his commitment to that calling. With a new partner to train and a case that leads straight to the heart of the Cleveland organized crime scene, Perry finds himself glancing over his shoulder at every turn, pushing the bounds of safety even as he backs away.
Lincoln is a private investigator who starts getting letters from an ex-con named Harrison who wants his help to find a woman named Alexandra. Alexandra's father and brother were part of the mafia and when her father died, he left her a lot of money which she eventually used to build a house to start a program for paroles ... Harrison was one of those paroles. Twelve years ago she and her husband, Joshua, disappeared. Then Joshua's bones are found.
Ken, the private investigator than Joshua's parents had hired to find him, shows up and asks Lincoln to help figure out what happened. It's a case that Ken hadn't been able to solve and it's bothered him ever since. Working together, they investigate to figure out who killed Joshua and where is Alexandra.
I enjoyed the writing style of this book. It is the fourth and last in the Lincoln Perry series and it's been about eight years since I read the first three. Though it is part of a series, it does work as a stand alone. It's been seven years since this was written ... I wonder if the author has decided that he won't continue with this series. The book didn't end as if there wouldn't be any more. As a head's up, there is swearing.
I liked Lincoln. As much as he doesn't want to, he can't help pitching in to help. I found that there were quite a few characters (the paroles and the bad guys) and I had a bit of a hard time keeping them straight.

Fellow Chicagoan and pay-per-click expert Perry Marshall wrote a neat article on a litmus test for a new online business. He articulates why it's important to use a niche market if you are an entrepreneur creating an online business. Looking back at the number of online businesses people created using iScripts business software solutions, it appears to be true.
I hear it every time I talk to potential customers requesting our software products. When I ask customers that are already using, iScripts SocialWare sometimes they say, "I want to create a website similar to Facebook or LinkedIn. My question is why? When you are trying to create a Facebook clone or an Amazon clone, it should be targeted for a niche market if you really want success.
At iScripts, we have helped create thousands of online businesses. I have compiled some of the lessons learned from it and some sample online business ideas in a free course on How to create an online business. Most of these ideas can be implemented under a few hundred dollars. However, in order to be successful, you need to focus on a niche market and work hard on marketing.

Jumpsuit : Camila Coelho Shoes: Christian Louboutin
I am always looking for an outfit that has both a comfortable fit, and a dressy look! To be honest, I am a sweats kind of girl! So when I came across this jumpsuit from Camila Coelho for Revolve, I knew this was perfect for me.
This jumpsuit is MAJOR comfortable. Its like wearing pjs, and still looking event ready!
I would wear this to a holiday event, a party, or even to a nice dinner. Add wedges with it in the summer, or closed toe pumps in the winter, it is super versatile.
Im 5'9″ and the pants on this are long enough to still be able to wear heels, so if you aren't as tall keep in mind you may have to have this hemmed, but it is definitely a piece that is worth it!
This is one I will keep in my closet for years to come and throw on when I need something dressier to wear! It's a must have.
I have linked below some jumpsuit and heel options!

Free agent closer Jonathan Papelbon has come to terms with the Philadelphia Phillies, according to Jim Salisbury of Comcast Sports Philadelphia.
Sources tell Salisbury that Papelbon's contract will approach $50 million for four years, pending a physical. The soon-to-be 31-year old closer has compiled a 2.33 ERA and 219 saves during seven big league seasons, all spent in Boston. He posted a 2.94 ERA and 31 saves during the 2011 season.
The Phillies had reportedly been very close to retaining closer Ryan Madson on Monday, but ESPN cited sources who said the negotiations with Madson splintered. The team had been in contact with Papelbon since the free agency period began at 12:01 a.m. on Nov. 6, and their interest in Papelbon reportedly "never waned."
Because of Papelbon's status as a type A free agent, the Phillies will need to surrender their top draft pick to Boston.

You Beauty Discovery Box | August 2015
Wednesday 19 August 2015
This months' You Beauty Discovery Box was Summer Essentials themed, so, as expected it contained products that would be ideal for the summer or a vacation. I received this box just before I left for my holiday in early August so it was perfect timing. I was on the ball this month and managed to pick my products as soon as I got the email telling me what was on offer so nothing had sold out (phew!).
The first product that caught my eye was the Ole Henriksen Truth Serum Collagen Booster . I've never tried anything from the brand before but i've heard lots of people raving about it before so I knew that I definitely wanted to try this serum. It's an oil-free serum loaded with Vitamin C and other antioxidants which help to smooth and brighten the appearance of the skin and reduce signs of ageing, giving it a more youthful glow. The antioxidants in this product help combat environmental factors, like pollution, that can be damaging to the skin. The serum is absorbed quickly and deeply into the skin providing long term results. I like the liquid consistency of this product which allows it to be quickly absorbed so that I can apply my moisturiser straight away. It also smells divine which is an added bonus! The full size product is worth a whopping £47.00 for 30ml so my 15ml sample is worth £23.50! (Best I use it sparingly then!)
The next product I chose was the Inika Mineral Bronzer in the shade Sunkissed. I've never owned a mineral bronzer before so I was looking forward to trying this out! The shade I received is perfect for fair to medium complexions, however it does contain some shimmer which Is slightly off-putting. The product applies evenly when I use the Real Techniques Duo-Fiber Face Brush and has good pigmentation. I haven't heard much about this brand before but after researching it i've discovered that it is certified organic, vegan and their products aren't tested on animals, which is great if you're trying to lead a more natural/vegan lifestyle. I received the full size version of this product which is worth £20.50.
The next two products that were included in the box were the Sienna X Gradual Glowing Self Tan sample and an excerpt from the book 'City of Bones' by Cassandra Clare. I was slightly disappointed with these two products purely because of their size! The gradual tan sample was 15ml so just enough for one use and considering this is a gradual tanning product I think it's going to be difficult to tell whether it works or not (I will report back once I'm back to my Casper the Ghost like appearance and have a need to use this product). The 200ml full size product is worth £15.95, so my 15ml sample is worth £1.20.
I'm also slightly confused why I received a book in this months beauty box. I love to read, don't get me wrong, but I like specific authors and genres and I think its pretty pointless receiving 3 chapters of a book. The book fits this months theme of 'Summer Essentials' however I would have prefered to have received an SPF or something beauty related, considering this is a beauty box.
Overall, I loved the products I chose this month but I was disappointed with the products picked for me by the You Beauty Discovery Team. The value of this box (minus the book) is worth £45.20… which is great considering the box only cost my £6.95!
What did you think of the shortlist this month?

First published in: The Times Click here to view a map for this walk in a new window
Facebook Link:
A cold, still day of early spring, with the clouds layered in motionless lines over the Worcestershire hills. The low whine of an organ from the red sandstone Church of St Kenelm heralded the end of Matins as we left Clifton-upon-Teme and headed out over pale pink ploughland. Down in the steep wooded cleft of Witchery Hole, dog's mercury had taken over the world, a brief flush of tiny green flowers at the crack of spring before the primroses and wood anemones had got properly into their stride.
The Teme is a beautiful river. A.E. Housman called its landscape 'the country for easy living, the quietest under the sun', and there's something leisurely and seductive about the slow green flow of the river, the miniature red cliffs of its steep banks and the winding valley it has smoothed out under high ridges of hard limestone. We walked upstream along the river to Brockhill Court with its stumpy old oasts (this was hop-growing country once upon a time) and red brick barns where a tawny owl was softly hooting.
A series of shallow billowing valleys led up to a little wood. We sat to eat our buns and cheese, watching a pair of tree creepers scuttling up an ash trunk, their neckless heads tucked down into their shoulders as they picked insects from winter shelter in the cracks of the bark.
On up past Hillside Farm with its three architectural eras all jammed improbably together; a steep little burst up to the ridge, and then three glorious south-going miles along the Worcestershire Way, hurdling the dips and striding along the crests with a broad plain stretching out eastward, and the Teme to the west running unseen in its lumpy green valley far below. We saw frogspawn in thick clumps in a pond at Woodbury Old Farm, smelt a whiff of wild garlic on the rim of a petrol-blue flooded quarry, and heard the first chiffchaff of the year in the woods on Pudford Hill.
Down in the valley we recrossed the dully glinting Teme and went up a long bridleway towards Clifton-on-Teme, with the pocket mountain range of the Malvern Hills rising in the south, smoky grey and insubstantial in the last sunlight of the March evening.
Start: Lion Inn, Clifton-upon-Teme, Worcs, WR6 6DH (OS ref SO 714616)
Getting there: Bus 308, 310 from Worcester
Road – Clifton-upon-Teme is on B4204 between Martley and Broadheath (M5, Jct 7; A44 west)
Walk (9 miles, strenuous, OS Explorer 204): Take signed footpath between Lion Inn and church. Follow yellow arrows (YA) into field. On far side, over left-hand of 2 stiles (716617). Ahead with hedge on left. At field end, left over stile (718619); follow hedge on right. In 50m, right over stile (YA); on to cross lower stile (YA). Aim across field to right-hand corner of Harrisfield house (719621); bear left around house, and on down to cross stile into woodland (720623). Right along waymarked track, steeply down Witchery Hole for ½ mile to road (728624). Right, then left across New Mill Bridge. Left (729625) along east bank of River Teme for ¾ mile to road at Brockhill Court (728635).
Right at foot of drive (YA) through gate. Up and through next gate; right (YA) into shallow valley. Bear half right to gate (731639, faded YA). Follow valley bottom NE to stile into wood (735642). Follow path clockwise to cross stream (736642); 50m up the far bank, bear right to leave wood over stile (737643). Aim for far top corner of field (738644); over stile, and follow fence on left. Just past Hillside Farm house, left through gate (739645) onto drive; right to road (741646).
Cross road onto waymarked Worcestershire Way/WW; follow it south for 3 miles to B4204 (743608). Right (take care!) for half a mile to cross River Teme by Ham Bridge (737611). First right after bridge ('Shelsleys'); pass 2 houses, then left (736611) up bridleway. Climb through wood; in 400m, at top of first rise, dogleg left/right through gate (732612, blue arrow, 'Sabrina Way'). Continue uphill with fence on right for 1 mile to Church House Farm. Left to road (717615); right to Lion Inn.
Conditions: Strenuous walking, plenty of up-and-down. Steep, slippery, and many steps in Witchery Hole wood.
Lunch/Accommodation: Lion Inn, Clifton-upon-Teme (01886-812975) – friendly, clean village inn.

San Diego is one of the most beautiful places in the world with an endless amount of things worthy of a bucket list. This city seems to have it all — lovely beaches, a thriving city center and a lot of history. If you're looking for things to add to your San Diego bucket list, keep in mind that on average, you can enjoy the sunshine during almost every season.
San Diego is a city with something for everyone. San Diego has things to do for people interested in history, architecture, wildlife, and more. A vacation in San Diego can mean many things to different people, whether you're looking for a city escape or a beach vacation.
1. Visit Old Town San Diego
San Diego's Old Town is the historic center where the first settlement in San Diego was developed. Spanish missionaries established the Mission San Diego de Alcala in 1769. San Diego became a city long before California became part of America, and the old town still has a lot of Spanish influences in its restaurants, shops, and architecture.
Many original buildings from the early days are still standing, and the city even relocated additional historic buildings here to preserve the look and feel of Old San Diego. One of the best ways to see Old Town is by taking the Hop-on Hop-off trolley. There are more than 100 points of interest and the narrated tour is the perfect way to take it all in.
Nowadays, visiting the old town is a fun thing to add your San Diego bucket list as it is full of specialty shops, museums, and restaurants. Old Town is well known as the perfect place to celebrate traditional Mexican holidays. If your vacation in San Diego takes place during Dia de Los Muertos or Cinco de Mayo, you should head to the old city.
It would be a great idea to check the events calendar for San Diego's old town to check whether there are any festive things to do during your trip.
2. Spend a delightful and educational day in the San Diego Zoo Safari Park
San Diego Zoo Safari Park is less like a Zoo, and more like an outdoor animal preserve. This is unlike any zoo that you might have seen before. Animals live outdoors, grouped together depending on their natural habitats in the wild. The Safari Park also includes predators like tigers and lions, although their enclosures are separate from other animals for quite obvious reasons!
In order to explore the Park, visitors can take different types of safari by car. However, it is possible to even zip line over the animal habitats. Imagine seeing these majestic animals from a bird's eye view!
One of the most unique things to do at San Diego's Wildlife Safari Park is to spend the night at the grounds. Doing so allows you to go on safari trips to see the animals after the day's crowds go home. You can even spend the night in tents just outside the animal enclosures of the antelope, giraffes, rhinos, and much more.
One of the reasons we love the Safari Park is that the ultimate goal of the Safari Park is species conservation. One of the proudest achievements of the Safari Park was its role in renewing California's critically endangered Condor population. In 1987, there were only 22 Condors found in the wild. Thanks to the breeding program, the San Diego Safari park introduced 191 Condors into the wild, and there are now 369 Condors found in the California wilderness.
3. Spend a Day Exploring Balboa Park
Balboa Park is the largest city park in North America, larger in fact than Central Park in New York. Most buildings in Balboa Park were built in 1915 for the Panama-California World's Fair. The city later added more to the Park in 1935.
Balboa Park boasts an impressive botanical garden with many tropical plants. It's an excellent opportunity to see a diverse array of plants in one place. Other popular destinations for visitors are the outdoor cactus garden and the Japanese Friendship Garden.
Locals enjoy roaming throughout the historic buildings of the Spanish colonial era. Walking in Balboa Park is like walking in a completely different country! You can also find seventeen museums in Balboa Park.
Take a look at the Balboa Park events calendar to find fun things to do in San Diego. There are regular events and art exhibitions in public, like symphony concerts and free concerts at the Spreckels Organ Pavilion. Balboa Park even has a replica of Shakespeare's Globe theater, where you can see live performances year-round.
4. Visit the San Diego Zoo
Not to be confused with the San Diego Zoo Safari Park, the San Diego Zoo was initially built as part of the California Exhibition in Balboa Park. It is the most visited zoo in America, with over 4 million visitors a year.
Visiting the San Diego Zoo should be at the top of your San Diego bucket list, because it is the largest zoo in North America. It is home to over 3,500 animals from 650 unique species. The zoo pioneered the concept of natural enclosures, in which cageless barriers such as moats keep animals safe in their habitats. The zoo is also unique in how its efforts to recreate the habitats like they would be seen in the wild.
Its claim to fame is that it is one of the only zoos with a breeding program for giant pandas. At the heart of the zoo's mission is its dedication to conservation and a focus on protecting endangered species. The zoo invests considerable time and money in conservation endeavors in 45 countries around the world. In fact, they have returned more than 44 species to the wild, including the endangered California condor. Don't forget to get your skip the line tickets ahead of time online.
5. Board the USS Midway Museum
The USS Midway Museum offers visitors the opportunity to board a retired aircraft carrier in San Diego Embarcadero. This ship was built shortly after World War II and was the largest aircraft carrier in the world until 1955. The vessel was used in the Vietnam War and Operation Desert Storm during the 1990s.
The museum now houses military aviation vehicles and other exhibitions. Visitors can see what life was like for an airforce soldier. You can visit bedrooms, engine rooms, control rooms and more.
Guests love the interactive displays at the USS Midway Museum, including a flight simulator. It is even possible to climb aboard some of the airplanes on display at the museum.
6. Stroll along the Embarcadero
Embarcadero means "landing place" in Spanish, which is why it is San Diego's main port. The largest cruise ships arrive at the port in San Diego Embarcadero.
Not merely a harbor, the Embarcadero is an area along the water where visitors can see San Diego's historic boats and museums dedicated to maritime history. The area also includes a public park with shopping, a fountain, and a sprawling waterfront lawn. If you'd like to see the Embarcardero from a different angle, a special activity to add to your San Diego bucket list is to take a Harbor Cruise at sunset. We have found great discount on fun activities on the on Tiqets website, like their 1-hour Harbor Cruise and Sea Lion Adventure.
Be sure to check out the events at Embarcadero during your vacation to find out about things to do in San Diego. The district hosts a food and wine festival, symphony concerts, and a Big Bay Boom celebration on The Fourth of July. The most famous festival held at Embarcadero is the U.S. Sand Sculpting Challenge and Art Expo.
7. Explore the Caves of La Jolla
Unlike the sandy beaches in southern San Diego, the north coast consists of rocky cliffs, rocky shores, and numerous caves. La Jolla Caves is one of the more unique things on your bucket list for San Diego. Located near La Jolla Bay, most of the caves are only accessible from the water.
One of the fun things to do in San Diego is to take a guided kayak tour into the largest of the seven La Jolla Caves, the Clam Cave. Or, take a footpath to the only cave reachable by foot, the Sunny Jim Gate. There are 145 steps, but the views at the end are worth it!
8. Get acquainted with the island lifestyle of Coronado Beach
Coronado Beach is located on Coronado Island near San Diego Bay. To get there, you must drive over the Coronado Bridge, which rises 200 feet above the Bay. Another fun way to get to Coronado is to use a Coronado ferry or a water taxi directly from the city center.
You will soon see that Coronado Island is like a mini-community in San Diego. The main street, Orange Avenue, is full of quirky shops. Don't miss the Hotel del Coronado, a chic hotel that offers a beautiful setting at sunset. Fans of beer will enjoy visiting Coronado Brewing Company, an award-winning craft brewery on the west coast.
9. Breathtaking views at Cabrillo National Monument
A historical thing to add to your San Diego bucket list is to visit the Cabrillo National Monument. The memorial is where the first Europeans encountered the west coast of America. Named after Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo, who landed here in 1542. If you're visiting San Diego in October, you can even witness a reenactment of the historical events.
You can also visit the old army camps and the lighthouse, which has been in place since 1855. Even if you're not drawn to the historical significance, the area is well worth a visit to take in San Diego's gorgeous coastline.
