If your lighting lacks lustre and your living room looks dull, why not try Chandelier lighting?
Chandelier lighting never disappoints. It is a great way to add a touch of elegance to your home.
However, chandeliers are quite heavier than standard forms of lighting. As such, they have to be handled with care, lest they get damaged or cause injuries when they become loose.
Other factors that must be considered include the wiring connections, which must be secured. Likewise, you should ensure that the support mechanism in the ceiling is strong enough to stand the weight of your chandelier.
For these reasons, it is imperative that your chandeliers are installed by an experienced professional. With a team of highly trained electricians, we can ensure that your chandeliers are fitted with the best of care and expertise.
We are experts in installing all kinds of chandelier lightings, from the simplest to the most intricate. Our professional Chandelier services include:
- Chandelier repair
- Chandelier fitting installation
- Chandelier removal
- Changing chandelier light bulbs
- Elevating or lowering existing ceiling mount fixtures
- Repairing defective ceiling mount fixtures
Hundreds of customers across Sydney can attest to our first-rate professional services. You also should be part of the statistics!

Self Managed Super Fund (SMSF) Article
Weird Investments
By Tony Negline.
This article may be out of date.
11th October 2006
Running your own super fund can be an exciting experience. Effectively you are given complete control on how your retirement assets are built up.
Most people who run their own super fund try as hard as they can to invest wisely so that their fund builds wealth.
The government also does what it can to help trustees invest wisely. It does this by placing a large number of restrictions around how super funds invest. For example there are restrictions on how members of a fund can use a fund's assets, a super fund is not allowed to borrow except in limited circumstances, if a fund wants to use options and other similar financial instruments then the trustees must develop a Derivative Risk Statement and so on.
These rules are not only there to stop the fund's trustees from doing something foolish but also to ensure that the tax concessions given to super are used wisely and appropriately. (Now it is also true that the government's rules can stop some sensible investments taking place but this is a story for another day.)
But no matter what processes and procedures the government puts in place the size of the small super fund segment ($209 billion at the end of June 2006) attracts people with good and bad intentions.
Those with bad intentions often do this with promises of riches. It is for this reason that ASIC always warns retail investors that wild and exorbitant claims are often too good to be true. No matter how much the government authorities try, some nefarious people will always slip through the net and sadly some small super fund investors do get ripped off.
Sadly in the small super fund space there are many examples of this. Artwork and other collectibles are classic cases because the small super fund sector can be a decent source of business for artists and dealers.
Some artwork and collectibles can be very profitable. However it has to be said that most of this type of investing occurs because of love. A big mistake that many super fund trustees make is that they often decide to display their fund's collection in their homes or business premises which is an instant breach of some super rules. Many funds also forget to insure their assets against fire or theft.
Potential problems can also be found in some financial products. For example some large financial institutions are now offering a product that provides an 11% return in a fixed interest type investment. Some even claim that the investment is capital guaranteed.
Most super funds will have a portion of their assets in fixed interest investments. Considering that a long dated term deposit currently returns less than half this rate, it is not hard to understand why some funds would be attracted to it.
Moreover for fund's paying pensions this type of return can appear to be perfect. If the member is 65 then the minimum income payment is about 5% per annum of the account balance. This means that the fund could pay the pension and still have about 6% left over for future income needs.
At face value the product offers a great return for a lot less risk. Now how is this 11% return generated? A portion of the assets are placed in a zero coupon bond which provides about half the return and the capital guarantee.
The remainder of the return is provided by engaging in very sophisticated options trading using complex mathematical calculations. One financial planner – who did not want to be named – said that in one product the trading seems so complicated that it is "almost inexplicable. The product provider could not explain how they generated the returns because the modelling behind the product is very intricate. You would probably need a doctorate in applied mathematics to understand what is going on."
Despite this complexity many small super funds would probably class this type of investment as fixed interest. The fact is however that the product has high risks and high rewards and should not be classifed as fixed interest. If anything the product should probably be classed as "exotic". Most small funds would have more allocated to fixed interest type investments than they would exotics. The net effect is that by misallocating an investment a fund can accidentally make their investment strategy look skew-whiff.
It has to be said that there is nothing wrong with this type of product if it fits a fund's needs. Moreover many large investment houses have the internal knowledge, systems and procedures in place to ensure the product delivers what they say it will (and they often can't afford the reputational risk of letting an investment product fail).However if more and more super fund money is attracted to this style of product it will not take long before smaller market players will be tempted to develop these products. But will they have the necessary skills and knowledge? Naturally they will say that they do. And what would happen if the product failed or the manager personally got into difficulty? To focus their minds all small super fund trustees should think carefully about the Westpoint saga before allocating their money into something that seems wonderful but may ultimately cause a great deal of pain.

Competition and spectators heat up at US Senior Open
Video: Hot day At U.S. Senior Open
As the first round of the U.S. Senior Open started to heat up, so too did the fans that were in attendance at Del Paso Country Club.
By noon Thursday, the smell of rye grass and sun block filled the air. Most people steered clear of the grandstands that were exposed to the glaring sun. Spectators chose to sit alongside concession stands and in shaded areas under the trees.
Because the temperature reached 102 degrees, USGA allowed spectators to bring up to two 24-ounce bottles of water Thursday and throughout the championship.
Janeen Driscoll, USGA's director of public affairs, said that they were doing everything they could to make sure that fans were safe during the event.
"This is not the first time (the USGA) has dealt with hot temperatures before; it's not extraordinary," Driscoll said.
There were no water fountains around the golf course, but people were able to buy water for $2.50 per bottle at concession stands at each hole.
"Almost every customer I've had has asked for water," said Jennifer Strade, who worked at the concession stand in front of the main entrance. A number of fans were walking around with plastic bags full of bottled water.
Despite the heat, most of the fans remained in good spirits and excited about the first round. The main problem the USGA had was spectators bringing oversize bags, said Driscoll. A number of people were sent back to Cal Expo – where general parking is located – to put their big bags in their cars.
Jose Amador, who drove from Modesto to watch the championship, said that he had no issues finding a parking spot for his car at Cal Expo. People took a shuttle from there.
"The buses were crowded but the ride was tolerable because it was short," Amador said.
By 1:30 p.m., the temperature was 97 degrees. Spectators abandoned their shaded areas to sit in the grandstands despite the sun beating down on the links. People were sweating profusely as they anxiously waited – in silence – for 2014 U.S. Senior Open champion Colin Montgomerie and former U.S. Senior Open champion Bernhard Langer to tee off.
Montgomerie and Sacramento native Kevin Sutherland, who teed off 10 minutes later, were the only players to get the crowd to stay for another hour before a huge portion of them started to leave due to the heat.
Approximately two dozen spectators had to receive medical attention because of the heat.
"Most of them just needed shade to cool down," Driscoll said.
Even with the 102-degree temperature and fans leaving early, Driscoll said the first day of the Senior Open was a success because of the fans.
"People (were) so excited," she said. "I think what surprised me is so many of the fans of the seniors playing are so educated (about the players)."
Temperatures for the second round are expected to again reach 102 degrees, although there is a forecast for more cloud coverage.
"It's hot. It's definitely hot," said Hayden Long from Folsom. "But other than that, there's plenty of shady spots; I'll just deal with it."

Will you help a cat like Daisy?Become a Sponsor today
Thought you'd be interested in this sad but happy ending story. One of our volunteers had gone on holiday leaving Brenda and the other furry animals in her household in the very capable hands of her cat sitter.A couple of days before the end of her holiday, she got a call to say that Brenda had been missing for 5 days. She was awol from the Friday night and didn't reappear until the Wednesday morning on the back lawn. As it was during the really hot weather, she was lucky to have survived all that time. Needless to say, the cat sitter was very upset.When the volunteer returned, Brenda had managed to get herself home but with a terrible injury to her back leg. She was taken to the local vet where she was rehydrated and given painkillers via a drip. It was unknown how she got her injury but a fall from a height was suspected. The West Midlands Referral Centre in Litchfield was contacted and Brenda was taken there in an effort to save her leg from amputation. Thankfully, an extremely efficient orthopaedic surgeon worked his magic and the operation was a success. She's now recuperating at home with pins in her leg, an external fixator and a pretty pink bandage – see photo – for the time being she is being called 'Puss in Boot'. It will be a long haul but at least she still has her leg so our volunteer is a very relieved and happy (although very many pennies poorer) cat owner.

Looks like no one will be taking the red pill again anytime soon. Over the weekend, reports surfaced that during a talk at the London International School of Performing Arts, actor Keanu Reeves revealed, among many other things, that the Wachowskis had finished a two picture treatment for more "The Matrix" sequels with an eye to do it in 3D. One little problem however. Keanu Reeves never gave that talk.
We reached out to reps for the actor and were told that "none of it is true…he did not speak nor get an award from the from the London International School of Performing Arts." So, chalk this one up to a fan hoax and nothing more.
However, if you do want to see Keanu Reeves once again kick some ass, he's gearing up for the 3D samurai tale "47 Ronin," which will be going in front of cameras this year and is slated for a November 21, 2012 release.

HP EliteBook 8540w full review
The HP EliteBook 8540w is the flying fortress of professional notebooks, a 15in-screen design bristling with ports and performance power, and built to last
As we saw with the HP EliteBook 8440p recently, HP still knows how to make a tough high-performance laptop. The HP EliteBook 8540w is cast from a very similar mold, only this time it's a mold large enough to create a 15in, rather than 14in-screened, notebook.
So we have an especially tough chassis again, one designed to withstand the rigours of professional and industrial work.
When closed, the lid of the HP EliteBook 8540w is securely fastened down by bolts that plunge into the main chassis; lifting the lid requires some force against the reassuringly stiff hinges. But it's worth the effort to get inside, to enjoy the large anti-glare matt screen and the eminently tactile keyboard.
As well as a modest-sized touchpad, the HP EliteBook 8540w also provides a trackstick in the keyboard, with its click buttons immediately below. A fingerprint reader on the far right of the top deck underlines the businessness of the design.
HP offers the HP EliteBook 8540w with the same dual-core processor we saw in the 8440p, the Intel Core i7-620M. In our experience, this dual-core chip may be the finest processor for mobile computing at the moment. It runs fast enough at its nominal 2.66GHz, then overclocks to a maximum frequency of 3.33GHz given half a chance.
Yet the HP EliteBook 8540w seems to run quite cool, specified at a nominal 35W TDP, and so itself is not a complete battery hog.
Discretion and graphical valour
In contrast to the HP 8440p we tested which relied on built-in Intel graphics, the HP EliteBook 8540w takes a discrete graphics processor from nVidia. The nVidia Quadro FX 1800M is not your usual consumer GPU but one optimised for workstation use.
So where the nVidia GeForce series is all about delivering fast game action, sometimes at the expense of rendering accuracy, the Quadro line is designed for precision GPU-accelerated computer-aided design (CAD) work.
And as an nVidia product, it naturally lends itself to programs optimised for the company's CUDA (Compute Unified Device Architecture) system, to hardware-accelerate certain apps that can make use of a graphics card's parallel processing capabilities..
It's probably this graphics card – billed with a TDP of 45W, greater than the main CPU – that really undermines battery life of the HP EliteBook 8540w. Despite a quite generous 68Wh battery pack, we measured a lifespan of just 203 mins (3hrs 23mins) in MobileMark 2007 Productivity test.
Compare that to the 327 mins (nearly 5.5 hours) of the 8440p, running the same processor but with integrated Intel graphics, and you can see what's taxing the battery. Especially when you consider that the 8440p is also fitted with a smaller 55Wh battery.
But mobile workstations like these are not really the tools of fleet-footed mains-starved road warriors; they're designed as portable desktop replacements. More so in the case of the HP EliteBook 8540w here, whose near-3kg weight may discourage casual daily transport.
In real-world computing performance, the HP EliteBook 8540w is by no means a slouch, but with hard-disk storage rather than SSD, it scored lower than the solid-state-equipped 8440p.
That 14in machine reaped 123 points in WorldBench 6, where the HP EliteBook 8540w here was a little behind at 116 points. Which left us wondering how an HP EliteBook 8540w with SSD would really fare...
Shoulda Woulda CUDA
We didn't have any CUDA benchmark tools to hand, so roped in the FEAR game to get an idea of graphics performance. At our usual Maximum detail settings for this test, the 8540w averaged 76 frames per second.
Aside from tank-like build and speedy computing, the HP EliteBook 8540w also offers a multiplicity of connection ports.
There's the ubiquitous USB 2.0, three in this case, joined by two USB 3.0 ports, along with one eSATA, DisplayPort and VGA video outputs, and mini FireWire 400. There are also slots for ExpressCard 54, SmartCard, and a multi-card reader for SD, xD and Sony memory cards.
On the optical disc front, the tray-load drive can read and write dual-layer DVDs, and etch text and graphics on their obverse with LightScribe technology.
And strange as it seems to us for a laptop aimed at professionals rather than entertainment, this drive will also read Blu-ray discs – but not write to them.
Finding BD playback capability is not so strange, yet we wondered why a workstation wouldn't let you backup data or burn HD films to BD media, even if it can let you enjoy Blu movies from its built-in BD-ROM drive.

What Your Early Memories Can Tell You about Yourself
Posted By: Carl Nassar on February 08, 2017
Think back to your earliest memory. How old are you? Research has shown that most people's earliest memories date back to when they were about 3½ years old, although many adults only remember things from when they were about 6. Since we retain so few of those early memories from between the ages of three and six, the experiences we do recall probably have a profound impact on who we are as adults. The things we remember can vary widely from person to person. They can be play activities, injur

3 different products, works differently and has different (side) effects. Now let's go one by one. First let's check the review of Phen(q)uick. I don't know why it is called Phenquick by few and official website claims it as Phen-Q. Perhaps, lots of confusion is good for marketing?
Our second candidate is Garcinia cambogia extra. Obviously you might have heard plenty of hype of that. Just go to some diet or fitness website. You'll be bombarded with plenty of free trials on Garcinina. And most of them are scam any way. First let's take a look at this review.
Garcinia Cambogia Extra Review – Prevent over Eating to Lose Weight?
Now watch the video below for more information.
Our final victim is Phen375. It's unbelievable that this fake Phentermine diet pill has survived the market for almost a decade and still selling well! Most importantly. finding a genuine and authentic review is almost impossible online. What you mostly going to see is lies and fake reviews by internet fraudsters! Check out factual review below to better educate yourself.
Ohh, there is one more. It is called Phentaslim. That's makes our list 4! It would be cruel joke if I did not add a link to useful review. Check it below.
I hope that you found these research very useful.

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. At least that is what we are often told. So, why do people indulge in food that will start their day off on the wrong foot? Donuts, danishes, eggs & bacon, bagels lathered with cream cheese, and many other things clog the arteries and set us up for a sugar coma later in the day.
Oatmeal gets a bad rap - primarily because people don't use creativity when making it. Make it beautiful, make it tasty, make it a work of art! Here's one way I cook my morning bowl of oats.
Combine 3/4 cup oatmeal with 1 1/2 cups of water and zap the concoction in the microwave for about 60 seconds. After the first minute, stir and cook an additional minute.
The mixture should be a itsy bit runny but not too runny and definitely not stiff. We have lots of stuff to add to it!
Add the following: 1/4 cup fresh blueberries, 1/4 cup craisans, 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed, 1/4 cup walnuts and sprinkle with cinnamon.
Or, 1/3 cup chopped apple, 1/4 chopped walnuts (or almonds), 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed, and sprinkle with cinnamon.
How you make this is really up to you and your imagination is your only limit. Here are some other things to add. Mix and match until your hearts content!
Apples, almonds, bananas, blueberries, peaches, nutmeg, almond milk, vanilla, coconut milk, craisans, raisans, ground flax seeds, sunflower seeds, nut butter, pears, pecans, cinnamon, apple juice, the sky is the limit!

In the lead-up to an Incendiary Traces draw-in focused on San Clemente Island, I have been thinking a lot about historical precedents of drawing San Clemente Island, and by extension, Pacific islands in general. Who drew these islands in the past, under what circumstances, and in what forms? I am surely not the first person to gaze at the Pacific islands and wonder what loveliness must inhabit these islands, close to the California coast, but totally inaccessible except by boat, a few days of sailing and/or a few hundred dollars of boat fuel. And where did the popular idea come from that islands like these might be lovely? My search for precedents of gazing at these islands from afar and drawing them on site (in the European tradition) lead me to European and American imperial and military imagery. Some of the earliest European representations of the Southern California coast and Pacific islands are from imperial Spanish and British expeditions, as well as U.S. Naval activity. My purpose here is to look at the legacy of this landscape tradition and how it may affect our understanding of our Southern California coast and islands.
As Janet Owen Driggs shows in her essay "Even Our Palm Trees Are Cooler," Southern California was built up in the late 19th and early 20th century upon Anglo conceptions and fantasies of the subtropical environment here. And as Susanna Newbury shows in her essay "How a 19th Century Painting Transformed California's Desert World," railroad companies, real estate boosters, the US Geologic Survey and others relied upon the European landscape tradition in painting to establish views of the west for purposes of selling the area to the east, as it was "manifest destiny" to establish an official Anglo U.S. foothold in the area. While these essays focus on landscapes of the interior, they indicate the significance of Anglo landscape ideals and images, largely driven by expansionist initiatives, in shaping Southern California. To further this investigation, I look here at the resonance of early European imperial and U.S. military views of the coast and Pacific islands. I focus on naturalistic images recorded by artists who viewed the subject first-hand, as well as maps. Both forms were driven by the topographic imperative, that is, to present how a place would appear to viewers if they were there themselves. The images I found point to a history in which forms of landscape imagery we have come to take for granted as realistic, accurate and authoritative, have historically been instrumental in creating popular myths about Pacific island paradises, as well as commercial and military visual information used in the expansion of European empires, and later, U.S. territory. This post provides a selection of materials for consideration: 17th century maps of the Spanish views of the Southern California coast, 18th century British landscapes illustrating the Polynesian Pacific Islands, and 19th century watercolors of the lower California coast drawn by an American Naval officer serving during the U.S.-Mexican War. The selection reflects my artistic research on this subject, which is perhaps idiosyncratic rather than an art historical survey. Also, these images were on my mind as I went out to draw our own Pacific island paradises (or at least natural refuges) in the southern Channel Islands during my own "draw-in" expedition to San Clemente and Catalina Islands. (Read my report on that event here.)
Spanish Maps
As early as the 16th Century, chronicles of European expeditions to the Pacific were illustrated and mapped to collect information for military and commercial purposes. Among the earliest visual documents of Southern California's Pacific region are maps drawn from the expedition of Sebastián Vizcaíno, a Spanish nobleman, explorer and merchant who embarked upon the Pacific in 1602. Charts of Vizcaino's vision of the coast were considered authoritative for almost two hundred years after his voyage; they continued to be used until about 1790. Although Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo was the first known European to explore the California coast sixty years earlier, Vizcaino's accounts of his voyages popularized the names used to identify the area, including San Clemente and Catalina Island. Though Spain was the first European empire to record and map the Pacific coast, visual materials were most often created off site by artists who worked later, back in Europe, from primarily textual accounts without having seen the places they illustrated. The results were speculative and often inaccurate. For example, the map of California as an island often published today to illustrate Spanish imperial (mis)understanding of the region was drawn by Johannes Vingboons (aka Joan Vinckeboons), who worked from mercantile and military surveys to create this map for the Dutch West India Company. These maps were considered military and commercial intelligence, and therefore went unpublished until centuries later. Views of the Spanish Empire in the Pacific region thus had little opportunity to seep into the broader European collective imagination.
British Imperial landscapes of the Pacific
The first naturalistic representations of the Pacific created by artists actually aboard ships were made on British Captain James Cook's expeditions from 1768 to 1780. In his book Imperial Landscapes: Britain's Global Visual Culture, 1745-1820, John E. Crowley notes that William Hodges was the first professional landscape artist in the Pacific. He quotes a letter from the Admirality directing Hodges to "make drawings and Paintings of such places in the Countries you may touch at in the course of the said voyage as may be proper to give a more perfect idea thereof than can be formed from written descriptions only." Crowley explains that the timely and wide publication of these landscapes popularized these British views of the Pacific as the premier European perspective and enfolded these areas into the British empire culturally, if not by military conquest. (To maintain diplomatic relations with the Spanish and French, Cook was specifically instructed not to intervene militarily and to conduct himself only as an observer/visitor.) Earlier Spanish views of the Pacific like Vizcaino's were only published after Cook's expeditions began to have this affect. The fact that the British landscapes were firsthand visual accounts reinforced their authority. Though Cook's expeditions were in the Polynesian islands, not the California coast, the Anglo views of the Pacific may have laid a foundation for the Southern California fantasy we know today.
It is interesting to note the palm tree figures in this imperial imagery, which appears to be an origin of the Anglo ideal of the palm dotted island paradise. As well, the palm tree was used by early Anglo Southern California boosters to fashion the region as an idyllic paradise. (See Janet Owen Driggs essay for example. Though Owen Driggs refers to the subtropical environment, and Cook explored tropical regions, the Anglo ideal of the palm tree dotted landscape overflowing with bountiful uncultivated fruits, basically free and easy food, was widely publicized in Captain Cook's accounts. He wrote in some detail about his gustatory explorations while on his Pacific expeditions, including detailing the bounty of fruits in the region.)
But what about California? Did the Brits do their imperial landscape magic there? Captain Cook didn't make it to California. The closest he got was the Pacific Northwest. (A map of his routes is here.) However, it is clear that the images produced on his expeditions and later published made a large impact in promoting the popular image of the Pacific, which continues to resonate today. Crowley notes that 2000 copies of Cook's account of his first Pacific expedition were printed, followed by 2500 additional copies a few months later. The Bristol Library circulation records show this was the most checked out book if its time. As Geoff Quilley suggests in his essay "Re-enacting Art and Travel", Hodges' palm-dotted paradise image established a foundation for the Anglo collective understanding of what the authentic Pacific looks like. Hodges imagery was "re-enacted" on subsequent British explorations, that is, recalled and mimicked by later British explorers in writing and imagery, as they imagined their authentic experience of these Pacific islands should look like the vision Hodges painted. Now "re-enacted" from travel brochures to upholstery fabric design, this Anglo perspective was grafted upon Southern California as early as the 19th and early 20th century.
U.S. American
So who did make it to Southern California to draw its coastline in this naturalistic tradition? Examples of this tradition of visually documenting the first-hand experience of the Pacific landscape, employed so skillfully by the British, are found again later during the US-Mexican war. A U.S. naval officer aboard the USS Dale created somewhat simplistic, naturalistic landscapes and coastal profiles to document and depict the battle activities from the perspective of the ship. These images are some of the only ones I found from the pre-photographic era which use the naturalistic landscape gaze similar to the style of British exploration of a century early and contemporary to this American Naval artist. However, the images were not published until almost 100 years later, when Franklin Delano Roosevelt obtained them for his private collection. They were published in 1939 by Grabhorn Press, a publishing house in San Francisco.
The examples cited above demonstrate a variety of ways in which the Pacific landscape was recorded and engaged from an imperial, naval perspective. First hand, naturalistic views played an instrumental role in establishing British imperial power in the Pacific during the 18th Century. Though the British were not the first to explore the area, political decisions to keep accounts of their findings and explorations secret eventually handicapped other countries with claims to the land. First hand naturalistic accounts in the form of drawings, paintings and engravings provided a lens through which to understand unfamiliar places. These images were used to consider commercial and military interests, make decisions, and craft strategies and policies. For the larger public, they connected people to distant lands which seemed remote, yet played fundamental roles in shaping the material cultures and political conditions they lived in. It is this tradition of visual documentation as an instrument of power that Incendiary Traces recalls and considers through the draw-in events. In two weeks, we will report here on the recent draw-in focused on San Clemente Island Naval Weapons Testing Range. Stay tuned for a contemporary view of that island from the waters around it as we painted and drew on a sport fishing boat, while sport fishermen told us about co-existing with the U.S. Navy.

Tandem provides one-to-one befriending outside of the home to people in the immediate Oxford area who have been through a period of mental ill-health and are looking to rebuild their lives. We also run a weekly social group that has outings to local places of interest. We regret that, at present we can only accept referrals of people living in, or very close to, Oxford. At present we have a number of people on our waiting list so are unlikely to be able to offer an immediate start for new referrals.
Tandem's AGM Thursday 18th October 2018
The Guest Speaker was Christopher Gowers FRSA from Oxfordshire Neighbourhoods Partnership on Loneliness, Social Isolation and local Good Neighbour Schemes.
Tandem's 2017-18 Annual Report can be found here: Tandem annual report 2018
Elder Stubbs Festival
We had a good time at this year's Elder Stubbs Festival on Saturday 18th August 2018. Thanks to all those who offered to become Tandem volunteers and thanks to Restore for organising the event.
Cowley Road Carnival
It was good to be part of this year's carnival event
Referrals: Please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com if you would like to discuss referrals to the service of people living in, or very close to, Oxford. See our About Tandem page to see what partnerships can do for people.
If you are interested in helping Tandem to continue its valued work, by offering us some time, or supporting us by giving a donation, we hope you will find the information you need on this website.
Tandem Social Group
In addition to our individual partnerships, some of our befriendees and befrienders participate in a weekly social group that goes to various places of interest in the local area.
Here is an example on what the group did in one month.

Many employees struggle to keep their desks organized. Our work area greatly influences our mood, behavior and state of mind, so if you want to be ready to tackle the day, you need to keep your desk area organized. Any highly organized person will tell you they need to start with a clean desk. Keeping the area on your desk neat is as important as keeping your files in order. Below are 6 tips to help you keep a clean desk.
- Keep supplies near by. Pencil caddies and drawers are convenient ways to make sure items you use often are kept within reach.
- Treat your desk as prime real estate. Whatever items or paperwork sit on your desk deserves to take up the space. Only items used on a daily bases should sit there.
- Raise your computer monitor. When you put your computer monitor on a stand, you not only raise it to the correct ergonomic level, but you will give yourself additional clean desk surface space. You may want to consider installing shelves or a hutch on or above your desk or if you are in a cubicle, installing a binder bin to stow away items not used on a day to day basis.
- Use stackable In and Out trays. Stackable In and Out trays help clearly define what needs to be worked on and can help prioritize what is ready to be shipped out or filed.
- Lateral file cabinets. Though it has long been claimed that we have become a paperless society, I have yet to see it at many customer locations. Law firms are slowly becoming paperless, but in the mean time many attorneys have stacks and stacks of active files on their desks and credenzas that need a temporary home in their office. This is where lateral file cabinets come into play. We sell an array of sizes from 2 drawers to 5 drawers high with widths from 30" to 42" wide. A lateral file cabinet in your office helps you keep you active files within reach while maintaining a clean and functional desk.
- Purchasing the correct used desk or workstation setup. Choosing the perfect desk setup is half the battle in keeping your desk organized. In the old days, we only needed room on our desks to write or for a typewriter. Today we need room for our computer monitor, hard drive, printer, keyboard, etc. Sometimes a double pedestal desk is not enough, we may need an L shaped desk in order to house many of the additional items we use throughout the workday and still have room to write. What many people do not realize is that the return on the desk takes up about the same amount of space that we need for our desk chair. If you bring us your room dimensions, we can help you choose the perfect setup.
CJ Office Furniture has over 30 years of experience in helping customers find the perfect used desk setup to help them create an organized and productive work area. Contact CJ Office Furniture TODAY at (973) 263-3535 OR visit our warehouse at 60 Parsippany Blvd., Boonton, NJ 07005, so we can help you make the most of your used desk shopping experience

With Barcelona on the horizon, Intel isn't exactly standing still—the CPU manufacturing giant is preparing to launch a new series of quad-core and dual-core Xeons early next week. The codename for this new series is Tigerton, and it'll debut on Intel's new overall platform codenamed "Caneland." Look for Dell, HP, IBM, and Sun to be on-hand for launch celebrations—Tigerton is aimed straight at the four-socket segment where AMD has historically had a strong hold with Opteron. In replacing the previous, Netburst-based Xeons, the new Tigerton series will complete Intel's transition to the Core architecture, and will introduce dedicated links between each CPU and the chipset.
With four sockets, and a quad-core processor in each, it'll now be possible to purchase a 16-core server of your very own—provided you've got the appropriate support hardware, that is. If you're interested in more information on Intel's new volume Xeon MP initiative, check this Intel video blog post.
Intel has also moved against Barcelona on another front by announcing plans to launch a new series of Xeons at 1600MHz FSB in the 4th quarter of this year, rather than in the first quarter of 2008 as was originally planned. As reported by Dailytech, the E5472 and E5462 are the first quad-core models to run at 1600MHz FSB, with the E5472 at 3GHz (and $958) and the E5462 at $797. We'll also see one dual-core Penryn-based Xeon—the E5272, featuring a 3.4GHz clockspeed.
Intel is obviously preparing an extremely aggressive response both at Barcelona's launch and through the new design's first few months of existence. For AMD's sake, let's hope that the fresh rumors that Barcelona will scale rapidly post-launch are true.

As the city wakes up to the chirping of birds at the various Ghats and Vedic Mantras, the little town in the mountains, Pushkar definitely is getting popular with years for a hippie living & a holistic experience of yoga.
I alighted at 2 AM at the nearest Ajmer Railway Station. It was dingy & dark, I was scared as hell and wondering would it be safe. Pushkar was still a 12 KM drive from Ajmer. Ola & Uber were available. I didn't want to take the risk of travelling with an unknown driver. So, with the help of a local friend I had booked a cab from Ajmer Station to Zostel Puskar. We bargained and he narrowed down to INR 500 for merely 12 KM drive.
Following the instructions, I reached the main gate of the railway station and was waiting for the driver. To my surprise, he was a tippler, with bloody red eyes & foul smell. I was constantly chanting to my Lord and striking a healthy conversation with the driver to keep him engaged, though haunted by million alarming thoughts. Luckily, he was sober otherwise. Lol! We reached Zostel around 3 AM after around half an hour drive.
Back in Ground
Separated by Nag Pahar (Snake Mountain), the late night uphill drive from the Ajmer Station to the captivating Puskhar town was a blinking heavenly affair with a surreal view of Ajmer and it's Anasagar Lake.
Located in the Ajmer District of Indian State of Rajasthan, Pushkar is one of the oldest cities of the country; planned across the popular Pushkar Lake. As per the mythological facts, Brahma (the creator of the world- Hindu God) narrowed down on Pushkar as the ideal place for his Mahayagna. Few locals informed us that there is only one temple of Jagatpita Brahma in the world. But of course, there are a few more Brahma Hindu Temple in India and Indonesia. Pushkar is felt for its 52 Ghats and 1000 Marble and Skyblue Temples.
In Savasana Pose
All you see in this little hippie hideout are guest houses, temples, ghats, local shops. Moving travellers, of course. I stayed at Zostel. It was my second experience at Zostel after Jodhpur. It was one of the highlights of my visit to Pushkar as I was in the completely Savasana mode. For 02 nights, it cost INR 700 for a mixed 8 bedded dorm. I reached late at night and found the dorm lousy with heavy snore. It was full moon night and I ended up sleeping on the rooftop lounge.
'Would you like to join for a smoke?' while I was still struggling in my little bed and cosy duvet, a man from nowhere asked. I woke up to the mountains and chilled breeze. The dorms have an attached washroom and hot water facility. Zostel Pushkar is spacious with two lounges, board games facility, swimming pool & in-house restaurant. Wi-Fi is complimentary. A gateway to the hippie land, this Zostel is a free space.
Places To Visit
Pushkar was supposed to be a laidback experience. Visiting all those places Lonely Planet suggest wasn't on my list. I took a hot water shower to toss my tiredness of the night travelling and had a delicious morning masala chai at Zostel. With the Zostel map, I headed out on the streets of Pushkar to know more about the hippie land and Brahma Temple.
Brahma Temple:
Be careful. People at the local shops close to the temple chase you like anything to keep your camera and shoes with them for free, but they ask to purchase Prasada (offerings) in return. It can be annoying. Photography is prohibited. So, it is advisable to keep the shoes and camera in the daypack itself.
Built of marbles & stones in the 14th century, the temple holds the shrine of Lord Brahma and visited by the holy people and travellers after a ceremonial ablution in the Pushkar Lake.
Timing: 6.30 AM to 8.30 PM
Photography is prohibited.
Temples of Pushkar:
Why strolling on the streets of Pushkar, every nook & corner one shall find temples, temples and temples in every shape and size. Savitri Mandir is a small hike away in the hills of Ratnagiri. It would be ideal to experience a sunrise or sunset here. Savitri is the wife of Lord Brahma. Other significant temples are Old Rangji Temple, Shiva Temples, Saraswati Temple, Gayatri Mandir, etc.
The Ghats
The surreal ghats of Pushkar in the perfect setting of the mountains & old historic facades, simply enchanting. I loved those long strolls on the ghat barefoot in sheer tranquillity and meditation. As the stars beckons, while the sun still prise its crimson rays behind the horizon, I was sitting on the stairs of the ghat amused and filled with beautiful dreams.
Mini temples at the ghats are equally stunning and reminds of the omnipresence of the god & goodness around us.
Monkey Business
At the ghats, some touts will chase to mint money in the name of Brahma's blessings. Please avoid them. They make us offer flowers, coconut to the Brahma Ghat, home to some unique fishes while chanting some Vedic Mantras for the blessings of the family. The elaborate ceremony is a scam- confuse the tourists and make money. If you pay less or zilch, they will not let you go from the ghat or worst curse you. Please be aware on the ghats.
Where To Eat
The city is primarily vegetarian and yet, influenced by Israelis in flavours & cuisines.
Funky Monkey: The next day was the first anniversary of the resto. Setting is beautiful with wooden layout & hippie artwork and the most spacious of all the eating joints. Try their Tomato Cheese Sandwich & Lemonade. It is open till late and could be pretty much foreign at nights.
Laughing Buddha: It is located in the main market and can be either congested or too cozy with a small sitting area inside and in the balcony. Pretty much one man show, but serves great cuisines. Put your sweet tooth at work here.
Master Paradise: How I love Punjabi meals! No matter where I traverse, one meal has to be Punjabi style. Since I was too tired to go to the main market and look for some Punjabi cuisines, I narrowed down on Master Paradise probably just 100 meters from Zostel. Mouth watering Naan, Malai Koftaar, Chaas, oh man I wish to gobble it all now.
Things To Do
Shopping is definitely a great deal here in the narrow lanes with colourful little street shops. Everything is available in INR 50 to INR 500 from jewelry to block printed clothing.
Classes for Henna Designs, Yoga & Meditation Traditional Cooking or Local Dance are available in every nook and corner. Spurlge some time in traditional massages, reiki & palm reading.
Zostel offers everyday evening tours in the city and outskirts- small hikes, tuk tuk rides, Pushkar on bicycle & several other. They will be conducted only if there are 05 people or more to join. Price is around INR 300 to INR 500.
How To Reach
Only one evening bus goes to Jaipur in a day. Rajasthan Broadways & Haryana Broadways bus services are convenient, available from Ajmer to Jaipur. Haryana drive like Superman. Trust me! One can also take an early morning train from Ajmer.
How I was offered smoke frequently by strangers, to those stunning strolls on the ghat at dawn, goofing with the locals and a bliss at The Brahma Temple, I wish to go back to slumber on the rooftop of this carefree city absorbing the melting sun awaiting chilled starry nights. Ah ha!

After 6 months learning the corporate sales ropes at Metroland and leaving the office for presentations I started to think to myself that there has to be other ways to increase revenue beyond general presentations. Sales do happen once relationships are established via email and phone and even social media with the emergence of digital but for those of us who sell traditional media we have seen traditional dollars shrink with increased digital spends. With these challenges come increased reporting, more attention on analytics, intelligence and focus on high impact presentations as the higher ups are watching the dollars all while paying more attention to the sales cycle. To add to this at corporate sales we have account lists in the millions with major service responsibilities so it is not always easy to get out of the office which I refer to as "doing my job". If we do stay put and are primarily only servicing our current business we run the risk of not capturing the all-important NEW business including digital opportunities. In my humble opinion the best way we to make the gains we need is to get out of the office and make things happen.
I have been told the corporate sales cycle is different than what we see in the local markets I came from. But is it really that different?? I don't believe my new life is that different and I will explain why. In the corporate environment each account has many moving parts dealing with agencies and in some cases direct. Step 1 for me was to set out to get a handle on each moving part for each account. No I am not doing this strictly by emailing my agency contact I am devoting 1-2 days per week of my precious time dropping in on the agencies with some old fashioned discovery at play. In some cases this means dropping in unannounced. But the agencies are too busy for that type of attention right? Not according to my early findings. I'm not saying they aren't busy but I am getting the audience I need to do the discovery. What I am finding is I am ending up in boardrooms pitching planning teams, making key contacts at all levels, making my way around the agencies learning more about the structure and even getting the ear of the president. I am uncovering new opportunities and maybe even more importantly when I need a meeting I get it. And those that know me know that's when I truly shine. I am establishing right relationships with the right people and get plenty of one on one time to sell my ideas before getting an official meeting with the respective planning teams.
From my experience there are many internal teams working on multiple opportunities and the best way to uncover these is to get out there and make your way around the agency. Don't get me wrong I'm not against the general presentations and do them often but overall there will be additional sales opportunities uncovered doing regular discovery which also means you will be putting the right information in your decks while establishing key relationships. The challenges we face can be overcome but we need to change our approach.

Diamond Education
Making the decision to buy a diamond can be an exciting but daunting task. What should you look for? What determines the price? Have you heard people refer to the 4Cs of diamonds, but have no idea what that means?
Here at Unique Celtic Wedding Rings, we hope to clear up some of the confusion and help you feel much more confident, in selecting your perfect diamond.
Diamonds can vary greatly in quality and price. During the 1940's and 1950's the GIA (Gemological Institute of America) developed a universal grading system and thus -- the standards for the 4Cs were born; carat, color, clarity, and cut. According to the GIA.edu website, "GIA's mission is to ensure the public trust in gems and jewelry by upholding the highest standards of integrity, academics, science, and professionalism through education, research, laboratory services, and instrument development."
Diamonds and other gemstones are measured in weight by carats (one carat = .2 grams). It is important to note that carat, is not the same as karat, which instead refers to gold purity.
Diamonds are divided into points. This is easiest to understand, if you think of it like pennies on a dollar. A one carat diamond is 100 points, so a 25 point diamond weighs .25 carats. The weight of a diamond does play a big role in the cost of a stone. However, two diamonds - weighing exactly the same - can carry very different price tags, depending on the other Cs.
Color - or more significantly the absence of color - is very important in determining a diamond's quality. GIA's color grading chart starts at D which is colorless and goes all the way to Z.
D, E, F – Colorless Stones
G, H, I & J – Near Colorless
K, L, & M – Faint Yellow
N-R – Light Yellow
S-Z – Yellow
The GIA has a clearly defined range of color appearance. Diamond color is graded by comparing them to diamonds - in which the color has already been defined - under lighting and conditions which are deemed suitable by industry standards. A very slight variation in color can make a tremendous difference in the value of a diamond, so if you are hoping for a certain weight of diamond, but need to stay within a definite price range, you may be able to sacrifice on color a little, to get what you want.
Clarity is determined by the lack of blemishes or inclusions found in a diamond. A nice term for these imperfections are, "birthmarks" since they are produced as the stone is being formed.
The GIA clarity grades are:
Flawless (FL): No inclusions or blemishes are visible under 10X magnification.
Internally Flawless (IF): No inclusions but a few blemishes are visible 10X magnification.
Very, Very Slightly Included (VVS1 and VVS2): Inclusions are difficult to see under 10X magnification.
Very Slightly Included (VS1 and VS2): Minor inclusions visible under 10X magnification.
Slightly Included (SI1 and SI2): Inclusions are visible under 10X magnification.
Included (I1, I2, and I3): Inclusions are obvious under 10X magnification and may affect the transparency and brilliance of the cut diamond.
The cut of a diamond can have a big impact on the brilliance of the stone. A diamond that is cut too shallow or too deep, can affect the way light reflects upon each facet. A poorly cut a stone may have dull or dark areas of a stone where the light just can't reach.
The cut of a stone is graded as;
Very Good
The quality of cut is based upon; brilliance (the total light reflected from a diamond), fire (the dispersion of light into the colors of the spectrum), and scintillation (the flashes of light, or sparkle, when a diamond is moved).
When you select a diamond engagement ring from us, we want you to know that you have the freedom to choose the diamond that is right for you. Because diamonds can vary so much in quality and price, we are always happy to change out stones, or do whatever it takes to meet your diamond needs and expectations.

Bonner County GOP celebrates in English
Republican leaders eschew 'fiesta' at fair booth
Thu., July 8, 2010
Republican leaders in Sandpoint don't want their participation in the "Fiesta at the Fair" theme for this year's Bonner County Fair to be mistaken for a weakening of their resolve that English should be the primary U.S. language, or their support for cracking down on illegal immigration.
So they plan to decorate the GOP central committee booths with license plates from Arizona, ground zero in the latest political debate over illegal immigration, and replace any reference to "fiesta" with the word "celebrate" instead. They've also sent a letter to Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer asking for help.
"The Republicans at BCRCC want to make it very clear that English is our primary language, and call our booths 'Celebrate!' and display some Arizona license plates if you have some to spare," Bonner County Republican Central Committee Chairman Cornel Rasor, who also serves as a county commissioner, wrote in the letter to Brewer.
Rasor sought to distance himself from the clash Wednesday but acknowledged he signed and sent the letter.
"Having a fiesta theme at the fair was OK with me, I didn't even think about it 'til somebody brought it up," Rasor said. "But their concerns are very real to them, so I don't want to downplay it."
He added, "If I understand it correctly, the word 'fiesta' and the word 'celebrate' are actually synonyms, and that's what the people who were concerned about it were talking about, so technically speaking we didn't have a different theme than the fair – it's just a different spelling."
At its monthly meeting in late June, the committee voted to "affirm" Arizona's tough immigration law – a position also taken last month by the Idaho Republican Party at its annual convention – and to send the letter seeking the license plates for the fair booth to Arizona's governor.
Rasor said an e-mail went around a week before the meeting from members who "didn't like the idea that it was a Spanish theme, with the border problems. A couple others e-mailed and said, 'Chill out, fiesta just means celebration, forget it.' "
Longtime Bonner County fair board Chairman Tim Cary of Priest River said, "This has got nothing to do with English or anything else. … We just come up with something that's fun to decorate with, that's all we do."
Last year's fair theme was "A Black Tie and Blue Jeans Affair," and in 2008, it was, "Ewe Bee There – It's Our 80th Fair!" Groups sponsoring booths at the August fair or submitting items in fair competitions decorate to the theme to win prizes.
Gail Curless, a fair board member, said, "We try to get it chosen by the first of the year, because there's people who quilt and who do handicrafts and that sort of thing, and they want to know early on."
She said she supported this year's "Fiesta at the Fair" theme, which she said will offer lots of colorful options for decorating. "I think it's a reach to be upset by the word 'fiesta' – that's a big reach," Curless said. "It's sort of like making it 'freedom fries' instead of french fries."
Cary noted that one of the fair's longstanding food attractions is the Mexican food offered at the Search and Rescue booth. "Are we supposed to change the name of a burrito to something in English?" he asked. "I'm thinking there's some narrow-mindedness here, but that's just my opinion."
State Sen. Shawn Keough, R-Sandpoint, said she missed last month's GOP central committee meeting due to high school graduation festivities, and wasn't sure what message the committee was trying to send.
"The Bonner County fair staff and the Bonner County fair board are terrific people, and I'm sure that their choosing 'fiesta' as the theme for the fair had nothing to do with immigration laws," she said. "They were looking for something that was upbeat and positive."
Rasor said there were only "two or three that objected to it" on the central committee, and the overall direction from the committee was "to support Arizona, something a lot of committees are doing these days."

The week gone by was a crazy one, right since the time I got back to Pune last Sunday, what with meeting three sets of friends that evening, then some shoe shopping at Shoppers Stop, Wakdewadi (going there after ages) the next day, a visit to Kiva's, then SGS Mall, McD et al. In short, something happening every day.
On Friday, we again decided to booze up and initially the choices were between a friend's place or Kiva's / some other place, when we decided to check out Doolally, home to Pune's first microbrewery and derived from "Deolali", an army cantonment near Nashik.
I'd been meaning to visit the place ever since I 'met' one of the co-owners (Suketu Talekar) on Twitter 2-3 months ago. At the time, I'd tweeted and blogged about getting some Belgian beers from Bangalore and he replied, saying I just had to visit Doolally to check out the real thing. Added to this was the fact that it was located at The Corinthians Boutique Hotel in the NIBM / Kondhwa area, "our" side of town or "nadi ke us paar" as we keep saying. People who keep raving about Aundh and Deccan just don't know what they are missing out at Camp, Kondhwa and Wanowrie. 😛
So Doolally it was and we set forth around 8 pm. It was a rather leisurely drive and we avoided the traffic by navigating through all the 'gallis', reaching our destination by 8.45 pm or so. The place is a treat for the eyes, with it's brand new shining steel vats behind glass doors, lots of wood work, well spaced out seating both indoor and outdoor, and an extremely relaxed air about the place. There was a live band playing as well, though frankly, the less said about it, the better.
It was a pleasure to finally meet Suketu and he instantly made us all feel at home. He had some other guests to attend to as well, but recommended the Dark Lager as he left, which pretty much made up my mind.
Apparently, the place has Happy Hours from 6.30 pm to 9 pm and the steward said we were just in time (8.59 pm) to opt for it. We readily agreed to try each of the beers on offer; 5 beers (Premium, Wheat, Rye, Cider and Dark Lager) for 6 people, the Dark Lager getting a second nod. Only later did we realise that free samples were on offer!
Now the big difference at Doolally is that you gotta pay upfront as opposed to paying the bill at the end. I guess this is also one way of keeping people sober 😛 They have a system of charging in terms of Dimes (Rs.100) and Nickels (Rs.10), which are actual coins by the way, so we started off with five fine brews and ordered some starters too.
The beer was absolutely marvelous and we all had a swig from each of the glasses, allowing us to decide on what was to be our chosen poison for the remainder of the evening. As there were six of us, the choices opted for fell neatly between Adam's Folly (Apple Cider), The Weiss Man (Wheat beer) and Bob Barley (Dunkel / Dark Lager) and we ordered a pitcher of each. While the beer flowed freely, I must say the quantity of food per serving left a lot to be desired. In fact, some of the stuff seemed enough for just a single person, let alone six hungry souls. All this time, the band was playing some ear splitting music and the vocalist was getting to be a strain on my eardrums. I jokingly mentioned to Suketu that even I sang better, to which he replied that if I could put together a band, I was in! So what say, guys? 😉
It was fun to read the newspaper, the Doolally Dispatch, as well as the pithy comments on the coasters (will upload pics later), but what really stood out were the comments framed on the walls, among others one right beside the loo and the other near the payment counter ! 😀
It was a fun evening, and we must have downed close to nine pitchers among us, as we left by midnight. I was there a couple of days later as well for the Sunday Brunch, which at Rs.650/- for unlimited food and beer, is a much better option, and there are no stares of disbelief when looking at the food (or lack thereof) on one's plate. 😛
It is an ideal place to go and laze around on a Sunday afternoon with freshly brewed beer available on tap and soak in the relaxing ambience of the place. One thing is pukka for sure, there are gonna be lot of meetups at Doolally for a long time to come ! 🙂
