We've only just returned to Toronto after a heavenly week in the Dominican Republic and already, before the last grains of sand have been shaken from our Birkenstocks, or the last vestiges of rum purged from our bodies, we're hard at work. Time, you see, is of the essence as far as a promise we made to Vancouverites David and Connie, a lovely couple whose acquaintance we made over Pina Coladas under the beautiful Caribbean sun. As we sipped, we pledged to devote this week's musings to aid their decorative cause. And, being that they read our syndicated column in B.C., we're honouring our word.
Each day we'd settle oceanside and listen as they described remodelling a 3,000-square-feet property in a select area of Vancouver called White Rock. Bought as a fixer-upper with a view to flipping, they "accidentally" fell in love with the place and, by the time we met, had made the decision to sell their own home and move into the emerging masterpiece. "We've done everything," they enthused as they lathered on lotion and worked on their tans, "from replacing the roof to installing hardwood floors and replastering walls."
Also tackled were three bathrooms and the radical gut down of the kitchen, a stark modern space, they explained, that, pre-reno resembled a vet's surgery. New windows were added, as was a new boiler; clearly they'd put their hearts and souls into the project but, as we looked at pictures on their iPad, we noticed several red flags. Trailing from their media cabinet was a collection of cables that led to speakers everywhere; a design flaw, certainly, and a trip hazard into the bargain. Picture the scene; David and Connie are hosting an elegant soiree to reveal their work, but the party is just one step from disaster. When a Christian Louboutin spike heel catches one of the trailing flexes, that tray of pimento-stuffed olives and vodka martinis is going everywhere. Light hearted as our observation may be, the lesson contained has a serious message if breakages, or worse still, injury, are to be avoided.
Another image in David and Connie's scrolling repertoire was that of a beautiful plasma; a 52-inch monolith perched high above the family room hearth. No problems there, you might think, until we explain that scarring the project was a 4-centimetre-wide ducting tube which dropped from the TV and ran down the side of the fireplace. Installed to "conceal" power sources, it was nothing short of ugly. Determined not to rain on their parade (the daily 2 p.m. mini monsoon ticked that box adequately), we suggested that with a little extra attention to detail, they'd have pushed their reno to the next level.
"What's the problem?" posed Connie as we stared at the pics like rabbits caught in headlights. "Your home's lovely, but, er, what about all the, you know, the . . . " Silence, then, from Connie; "The what?" Further silence before, from us in unison; "The wiring." Connie's face sunk as David picked up the gauntlet, attempting to explain away the oversights. "As we said, this was initially a flipper, so we didn't think to add too many extra details."
Concealing flex during any type of project is an art form, especially if you're installing after walls have been smoothed and painted finishes applied. We'll come back to system installations that occur during building work, but for those who want to make the best of what you already have, there are lessons to be learned.
For starters, don't run cables across walls. Invest, instead, in extra cabling to run along or under skirting boards, around doors and below crown mouldings. Flat wired speaker cable costs between 50 cents to $1.50 a foot, and if it is fixed neatly using clips, you'll minimize visual obstruction. If you're positioning speakers at a point below either ceiling or crown moulding, it may be necessary to run cable down the point at which walls join but painting will reduce "glare." If you simply need to reduce wire clutter connecting your media unit to a power source, Ikea sells inexpensive cable tunnelling which gathers everything into one tube.
Another means to transition cable from one side of the room to another (without disturbing paint surfaces) is to run low voltage flat flex speaker cable below underlay and carpet, preferably at a point where foot traffic is at a minimum. Whilst not ideal, this can problem solve if economics are tight. If you have lumber flooring that can be separated at a convenient point, wiring can be discreetly positioned here as long as there's sufficient gapping to accommodate the flex. If not, you can plane the underside edge of one of the boards to accommodate. Simply chase cabling across the room and onto the skirting board — to wherever you're locating your speakers — using our guidance, as before.
If your project room is at ground level and if you have an unfinished basement, you can also consider running flex under joists, however, as with any wiring installation (even with low voltage speaker cable), it's worth calling an electrician to be certain you're doing things correctly. Speaker cables and their various concealment tactics are one thing. but full power cables are another matter altogether. Always be safe!
A change of orientation, too, is another way in which to visually minimize obtrusive cabling. It may be that by flipping the direction of your furnishings — and relocating TV and other media requirements — you'll be able to "hide" surface mounted wiring. Even better than these quick fix tactics, however, is an alternative route; on the market today are wireless set-ups that allow all your systems to communicate with each other via Bluetooth or via your Wi-Fi network. iTunes, for example, uses "file sharing" so that each computer in your home can share music, films and videos stored in one single iTunes account. Essentially, this allows you to select what you watch in different locations, which means that different viewers or listeners can enjoy what they choose, regardless of room.
Check out www.sonos.com for packages that allow you to "make your Wi-Fi go hi-fi," as the company themselves proudly proclaim. Sonos rather cleverly lets you distribute digital music with hi-fi sound across your entire domestic Wi-Fi network. And it's actually rather simple; you start with one Sonos unit and one "bridge," which connects to your router. Thereafter, you wirelessly expand the system to any other room. The exciting news is that with this system, different people can listen to different tracks coming from a single source, or you can play the same track everywhere. Brilliant if you're having a dinner party, for example, and don't want music blaring from a far off room; with Sonos you can enjoy music set to precisely the same level anywhere the wireless speakers are positioned. Harmonious or what?
If you're budget is flexible, specialists like Bay Bloor Radio can work out audio and home theatre requirements and, if you're lucky enough to be starting from scratch, the world is your aural oyster. BBR also retails top grade wireless systems, and, positioned as they are at the forefront of their industry, they're always a step ahead of the pack. Continually improving hard-wired systems, BBR offers a service that makes cable installation a breeze using product that fits out of sight behind plasterwork, speakers that blend perfectly into walls or ceilings (rather than on them) and a unique after-sales service to help with ongoing maintenance.
Anyway, cutting to the chase; David and Connie in Vancouver: We hope you're taking notes. Working in your city at the end of the month, we look forward to honouring our word and coming by to inspect your White Rock beauty. In the meantime; to ensure our rendezvous rekindles the spirit of all things Caribbean, we suggest practising your repertoire of rum-based cocktails, beading your hair, Bo Derek style (no, not you, David!) and fixing your flexing fiasco ahead of our arrival. The last thing we need is for any of us, high on Pina Coladas, to become lost in a tangle of wiring and broken limbs. Cables and cocktails? They just don't mix and we ain't folding our mini umbrella, ditching the sparkler, or losing our cherry . . . for anyone.

Additional policies and FAQs
Our creations are each handcrafted with care, giving every item its own individual character, and as such may vary slightly from the photographs shown. These minor variations typically occur where a particular material has a non-uniform/natural quality, such as changes in texture or colour that occur in different places in the finished product. If you are concerned about this, please contact us and we'll be able to advise what variations, if any, you might see for the particular product you're interested in.
While many of our products are unique one-offs, for certain designs we're happy to consider small customisations in order to make it perfect for a particular person. Custom items are considered on a case-by-case basis, but typically require that we have the materials in stock (or can easily source them), and that the customisation is not too complex. If you have such a request, please get in contact and we'll see what we can do!
If the request seems feasible, we'll quote you a price and estimated time to create the custom item. If you are happy to go ahead with the order we will create a unique product listing just for you that will be available for 24 hours. Once payment has been made, we'll create your custom item. Before dispatching, we can send photos of the completed item so you can be sure you're getting what you want.
Custom item prices include an additional non-refundable fee (typically £5, unless otherwise stated) for the one-to-one service provided during the customisation process. If you change your mind and cancel the transaction before the item is dispatched, you will be refunded the amount paid at the time of purchase minus the non-refundable customisation fee. We may subsequently make similar items (or, if the transaction was cancelled, that particular item) available for sale to the public.
From time to time you may wish to clean your Stripy Kite garment or accessory. These should be hand washed and laid flat to dry; machine washing, high temperatures and harsh detergents may cause damage to the item.
While we aim for all our products to be durable and safe, please be aware that some may include buttons, tassels or other small parts that may become detached through force or repeated twisting. These small parts may be dangerous if swallowed so we ask that you are mindful of this, particularly when supervising children. Children wearing fashion accessories should be supervised at all times.

People with heart disease are at increased risk for suffering a heart attack or sudden cardiac death. But there is evidence that risk factor modification can help people with coronary artery disease (CAD). Taking steps like lowering your blood pressure and cholesterol can improve survival and quality of life if you have heart disease. Here are some therapies to help protect your heart.
The American Heart Association and American College of Cardiology jointly released guidelines on secondary prevention for people with cardiovascular disease. Their recommendations reflect data gleaned from large scale clinical trials that have identified which preventive therapies work best. Check to see which advice you are already using correctly, and which you may want to discuss with your doctor.
- Quit smoking .
- Avoid exposure to secondhand smoke.
There are many options to help you quit smoking. Strategies that may work for you include:
- Counseling
- A nicotine patch, gum, spray, or inhaler
- A formal smoking cessation program
- Drug therapy, such as varenicline or antidepressants, such as bupropion
A combination of therapies is generally more effective in helping people quit.
Blood Pressure
- Aim for a blood pressure less than 140/90.
- If you have chronic kidney disease or diabetes, keep blood pressure less than 130/80.
- If you have high blood pressure, your doctor may have you take medication.
- In addition to medication, make healthy lifestyle changes, such as:
- Reducing your salt intake
- Losing weight
- Exercising regularly—check with your doctor for guidelines on starting an exercise program
- Limiting alcohol intake
- Eating more fruits, vegetables, and low-fat dairy products. (DASH diet)
Remember that high blood pressure does not have symptoms, so you will not know you have it or if it changes. Consider buying a reliable home monitoring device so you can check your blood pressure on a regular basis.
You should have a blood test called a fasting lipid profile. Desirable ranges of lipid levels are:
- LDL (bad) cholesterol less than 100 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL).
- Non-HDL cholesterol (combination of bad cholesterol) less than 130 mg/dL if triglycerides are greater than 200 mg/dL.
Your doctor will evaluate your lipid levels and help you determine what is desirable for you.
- Follow a low-fat diet .
- Reduce intake of saturated fat, trans fat, and cholesterol .
- Increase consumption of omega-3 fatty acids, found in fatty fish, like salmon. You may also want to talk to your doctor about taking omega-3 supplements.
- If you are overweight, lose weight. Aim to maintain a healthy weight.
- Exercise regularly—Check with your doctor for guidelines on starting an exercise program.
- Talk with your doctor about whether you need to take cholesterol-lowering medication.
Physical Inactivity
Physical activity includes both aerobics and weight training:
- Your doctor should approve the type and amount of exercise you do.
- Try to perform at least 30 minutes of moderate intensity activity, such as brisk walking, on most days of the week
- Incorporate more physical activity by increasing daily activities, like walking, cycling, gardening, or household work.
- Include 2 days per week of strength training.
Have a waist measurement and body mass index (BMI) calculation.
- The desirable BMI range is 18.5-24.9 kg/m².
- Desirable waist measurements are no more than 40 inches (102 centimeters) for men, and no more than 35 inches (89 centimeters) for women.
If your weight is not in the target range, start weight management and medically supervised physical activity programs.
If you have diabetes:
- Have your HbA1c tested regularly. The HbA1c test provides information about your diabetes management over the past few months.
- Aim for HbA1c below 7%.
- If blood sugar is too high, intensify therapy to control blood sugar.
- Address other risks, such as weight, activity level, blood pressure, and cholesterol.
Drug Therapy
Ask your doctor to evaluate your need for preventive drugs.
- Aspirin is recommended for most people with CAD. If you cannot take aspirin, your doctor may recommend another type of blood thinner.
- If you are at high risk or have had a heart attack, your doctor may recommend other medications, such as ACE inhibitors, beta-blockers, and cholesterol-lowering medication.
Other Recommendations
It is important that you take steps to stay healthy, like getting a yearly flu shot.
You should also talk to your doctor about your mental health, which can impact your overall health. Tell your doctor if are feeling depressed or anxious or if you are having problems sleeping.

Angels 2010 Top 10 – No I Don't Mean This List Satirically
With only one day left in 2010, I believe it is customary to make a top 10 or some other sort of retrospective list. I don't recall any actual written rule to this effect in the Big Book of Blogging Rules, wherever that may be, but it hey, the end of the year just cries out for such things, doesn't it? So why buck tradition? If finding 10 things in this season of all seasons that make me happy to be an Angels fan makes me the unrepentant Pollyanna of Angels baseball, well, I did choose the handle Blithescribe after all *big grin*. In no particular order, here are my personal 10 favorite things about Angels baseball in 2010:
Jered Weaver – Angels fans were all so very worried about who could step up and fill the ace's shoes with Lackey headed for the Red Sox. That seems so wonderfully silly now! I actually wasn't that worried. I didn't know he would step up so fully this season, but I did remember that post season game against the Yankees in 2009 when Weaver became the 8th inning set up man in a moment of need and he came in looking like a steely eyed gunslinger and sat them down one, two, three. I remember standing up and cheering in my living room and thinking future ace. And to be the AL strikeout leader in 2010, icing on the cake! Now let's get this man some run support in 2011 shall we.
Signing Dan Haren – This was one of those, really, we got him? Way to go Reagins! moments. A second ace to add to the rotation, he was an absolute pleasure to watch in 2010 and finished his partial season here with a 2.87 ERA and a 1.16 WHIP. I hope that these stats are indicative of what we can expect to see in 2011. The fact that we happened to be there for his first (Where he took the Youk line drive to the pitching arm, ouch!) and second starts made this extra fun for me.
7/31 and 8/1 against the Rangers – Both were absolute, bare knuckled brawls of a game, the Angels were in top form, and we had tickets to both for our anniversary – this lady demands diamonds on such occasions, natch 😉 The Rangers won the first game, but the second was Weaver vs. Cliff Lee, the Angels pulled it off and it was quite possibly the best game I have seen from a stadium.
Players Doing What's Best for the Team – Torii moving to right field so the Angels could bring Bourjos into center; Napoli taking over first base and doing a darned good job at it really, after Kendry's injury when he hadn't played first base since the minors; both were selfless, team spirited moves and, to my mind, damn clutch.
The Month of June – Instead of crumpling in the aftermath of Kendry's season ending injury, the team cowboyed up and played like, well, like the Angels for the month of June and it was a beautiful thing to see…and then they crumpled. Would that the June play had lasted the rest of the year.
Peter Bourjos – It was such a breath of fresh air to watch this young bundle of talent and enthusiasm move up to the majors. And you've all heard it hundreds of time by now, but oh my God is this kid fast. In the games we attended alone I saw him rob four homeruns and turn two sure thing out bloopers to the short stop into a base hits. And he's smart on the bases and out in the field too. He's not perfect. He's definitely a rookie so there were a few issues, primarily with his offense but he seemed to be improving by small increments with each at bat and I for one really look forward to watching him blossom into a full blown All Star in 2011.
Getting to See the Rookie Call-Ups in Action – While it would have been better if the Angles were in contention for a post season and the rookie call-ups mostly sat on the bench, the way things worked out it was a lot of fun to be there at the Big A for to see so many of their firsts – Conger, Trumbo and Romine's first at bats, their first turns on defense. As with Bourjos, it was a bright spot to see so much youthful enthusiasm on the field, and I think we'll be seeing Conger and Romine again, Conger quite soon.
16 Games! – My husband and I managed to go to 16 games this year. We typically watch between 100 and 130 of the games in some fashion, mostly on TV but this is the first time we've made it to the Big A, which is oh so much better, for so many. No, this is not earth shattering for Angels baseball as a whole, but it was a big deal in terms of my personal fan experience.
The Growth of the Friday Night Ritual – this is another one that would only matter in my house. A good bottle of wine, a gourmet dinner from our own kitchen and Angels baseball became what we called the Friday Night Ritual. It's fun, companionable, affordable and this year we grew to love it to the point where we turned down all other invitations…'tis such a fine, fine line between the fanatic and fan!
Personal Firsts – Kendry's exhibition game grand slam against the Dodgers was the first grand slam my husband had ever seen live at a stadium – he didn't go to as many Dodger games as I did as a kid ;). This was the first year I timed the tickets such that I got to see Weaver pitch at the stadium and honestly, you can't really appreciate the sheer amount of ground this 6′ 7″ talented stork of a man covers and the deceptiveness of his delivery until you've seen it at the game. The first time either of us was there for an entire series – the last homestand against the A's, many, many thanks to D for his generosity in just handing my husband the season tickets, this game and so many others. And the list goes on…
Suffice to say, yes it was a dismal season. But there were bright spots and enjoyable times for me at least and I for one am ready to call clean cup move down and see what the 2011 season brings…ideally Adrian Beltre but, if not, I am still eager to see what the Angels can do.

Visual Studio 2012 enables developers to create the new Windows apps that target Windows 8. If you worked with either WPF applications or Silverlight, you can reuse your XAML knowledge and it doesn't take too much time to start working with .NET Profiles for Windows 8 apps, known more formally as ".NET for Windows Store" apps.
However, it is indeed necessary to change the way you design the user experience, especially if you have previous experience with apps. You have to master the new way Microsoft thinks about Windows 8 apps, the UI elements, the controls, and the layouts. In this first article in a series (that will run in three consecutive weekly installments), I provide a brief overview about the different Windows 8 apps types, the new .NET Profile, and the first steps to build a Windows 8 app and customize its appearance with Visual Studio 2012.
Windows 8 Apps Require a Paradigm Shift
Forget about colorful icons, stop thinking about gradients, and don't even try to add mirror effects. Think a bit monochrome and keep things as simple and fluid as possible. These are good precepts to follow when initially designing the UI for a Windows 8 app with XAML, the new .NET Profiles, and especially the new Window 8 tiles.
The first time I installed the final version of Windows 8, some aspects of the UI made me think my system didn't have the appropriate GPU drivers. However, after making sure the right drivers were installed and my GPU was working OK, I figured out what Microsoft was talking about when it warns app developers about keeping things simple. Just look at the new Start screen to understand how simple I mean (see Figure 1).
Figure 1: The icons displayed within single color tiles in the Windows 8 Start screen are very simple. Pay attention to the white icons for Mail, Maps, Photos, and Games.
Windows 8 App Types
Before developing an app, it is very important to understand the different Windows 8 app types organized by target and by their most common distribution mechanism (see Figure 2):
Target: Consumers
- Consumer apps. Tech companies and developers build consumer apps and distribute them through Windows Store. Some examples of consumer apps are Twitter, Facebook, and Calendar.
- Business-to-Consumer (B2C) apps. Enterprises build B2C apps and distribute them through Windows Store. Some examples of B2C apps are apps from airlines that enable users to perform online check-ins and review reservations, and retail apps that allow users to review online catalogs and make purchases.
Target: Business
- LOB ISV apps. Tech companies and developers build Line-Of-Business Independent Software Vendor (LOB ISV) apps and distribute them through either Windows Store or side-loading. Some examples of LOB ISV apps are vendor apps that extend CRM and ERP platforms to devices that support Windows 8.
- Custom LOB apps. Enterprises build custom Line-Of-Business (LOB) apps and distribute them through side-loading. Some examples are company-internal knowledge management systems, expense approval systems, and the implementation of specific internal workflows in LOB apps. You can think of custom LOB apps as the replacements for Silverlight LOB applications.
Figure 2. Different types of Windows 8 apps.
Understanding the New .NET Profile for Windows Store Apps
If you want to leverage your existing .NET knowledge and start developing Windows 8 apps, you must understand the new .NET Profile tailored for apps and the new native API Windows Runtime (WinRT). WinRT (sometimes also called WRT) replaces the well-known Win32 APIs for Windows 8 apps. Microsoft designed WinRT with multiple languages in mind, and therefore, it isn't like Win32 APIs, which were written to be consumed by the C programming language. WinRT is object-oriented from scratch and projects out objects to the different programming languages that consume it. Thus, WinRT represents a huge change for those used to thinking about making Win32 calls from different programming languages.
You can use many languages to create Windows 8 apps and interact with WinRT:
- C# and XAML
- C++ and XAML
- Visual Basic and XAML
- JavaScript, HTML5, and CSS3
- C++ and DirectX
Here, I'll focus on C# and XAML. However, you can also use most of the things that I'll explain for the other choices shown in the aforementioned list. Apps written in JavaScript, HTML5, and CSS3 have the same UI elements that we use with XAML. The unique case is C++ and DirectX, where the UI is usually very different.
You can also create WinRT components that you can use in Windows Store apps using any of the available programming languages another new market for component developers.
The new .NET Profile for Windows Store apps includes many reference assemblies you may already know from .NET Framework 4.5, Windows Phone 7, and Silverlight 5 (see Figure 3). However, it is important to understand some of the differences in .NET Profiles.
Each .NET Profile represents a subset of reference assemblies. The default location for the assemblies included in .NET for Windows Store apps is C:\Program Files (x86)\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework\.NETCore\v4.5, provided that your operating system drive is C:. The more generic path is %ProgramFiles(x86)%\"Reference Assemblies"\Microsoft\Framework\.NETCore\v4.5.
Figure 3: An idea of reference assemblies shared between .NET Profile for Windows Store apps and other .NET Profiles.
.NET for Windows Store apps represented a great opportunity for Microsoft engineers to remove a lot of unnecessary garbage that various .NET versions have been accumulating. Thus, this new Profile removes duplicate types that aren't necessary for WinRT APIs. (They were put in the .NET Framework for compatibility with previous versions.) For example,
ArrayList isn't available and if you need a list, you can use the more modern
List<T>. Some types were required in early .NET Framework versions and don't make sense in modern profiles. Generics support represented a big improvement for .NET Framework and there are older types that generate confusion and don't add value.
.NET for Windows Store apps is focused on apps, and therefore, the Profile removes all the APIs that aren't applicable to apps. For example, Console applications and ASP.NET aren't included. In addition, everything that has been considered dangerous, obsolete, legacy, and badly designed isn't included in the new Profile. Operating System API wrappers aren't available in the new Profile, and therefore, you aren't able to access the performance counter or the event log.
The good news about .NET for Windows Store apps is that it has fewer assemblies, namespaces, types, and members than the Windows Phone 7 profile. The new Profile is simplified and it is easy to get used to it if you have experience with other .NET Profiles. Figure 4 shows the main high-level components for .NET for Windows Store apps. Don't forget that the Profile targets client apps, which means that you can only use the client-side of WCF. The Profile doesn't provide any server features.
Figure 4: High-level main components of the .NET Profile for Windows Store apps.
Figure 5 shows the high-level overview of the interaction between the .NET Profile for Windows Store apps and WinRT when XAML is used. Notice that the main namespace for the UI stack is
Windows.UI.Xaml. The main namespace for the operating system services is
Windows (notice that it is not
System.Windows, just
Figure 5: .NET Profile for Windows Store apps and the interaction with WinRT.
The following table provides an overview of the namespaces that have been replaced from other .NET Profiles and their new names. You must take into account that some of the new namespaces provide completely new classes and methods that are compatible with the new asynchronous pattern. Special cases are the new
System.Net.HttpClient and
Windows.Networking.BackgroundTransfer namespaces, because both replace the features provided by the previous
System.Net.WebClient namespace.
|New namespace
|Previous namespace
Application domains, private reflection, and non-generic collections have been removed. In addition, the following namespaces aren't included in .NET for Windows Store apps:
