A "Mommy Makeover" isn't designed to change who you are, but instead to get you back to where you used to be. These are procedures designed to help restore you back to your pre-pregnancy physique, and New York City Dermatologist, Dr. Cameron Rokhsar is a specialist in working one-on-one with his patients to understand their cosmetic goals and to help them achieve those goals based on their body type.
The most common procedures women undergo post giving birth are breast lifts, breast augmentations, breast reductions, tummy tucks, and liposuction. In some cases, the patient will choose to have several things done at once, however this approach is not right for everyone. The women best fit for undergoing a Mommy Makeover are women who have finished having children, finished breastfeeding, have an average and healthy weight, have exercise resistant fat, and those that can allow sufficient time for recovery.
Fortunately, Dr. Rokhsar is a fellowship-trained laser surgeon and has an array of options for those that are surgery averse or don't have time to commit to a long recovery. Instead of undergoing liposuction, a procedure that gently pumps fat out of small incisions made in the skin while the patient is under general anesthesia, Dr. Rokhsar can provide his patient with LipoSonix, a non-surgical alternative. The way it works is it uses ultrasound technology to create a powerful thermal effect that focuses at specific depths in fatty layers, safely destroying fat without damaging surround tissue all within a one-hour session.
CoolSculpting by Zeltiq is another effective non-surgical procedure that uses extreme cold temperatures emitted through cooling plates to target fat cells. Because fat cells are more vulnerable to cold temperatures than any other cell, the fat will freeze through an in-office prolonged cooling session. The body will then naturally digest the solidified fat which will show progressive improvements within four months post treatment. No downtime is required for either techniques and because Dr. Rokhsar is a leading authority in the most innovative non-invasive procedures made available, you can be assured your cosmetic goals will be met.
Dr. Cameron Rokhsar's offices are located in New York City and Garden City, Long Island and can provide expertise to address his patient's cosmetic needs in any area. Dr. Rokhsar is the first physician to use the Liposonix procedure in the United States. He is the leading authority on laser surgery and non-invasive fat reduction, making him more than qualified to address any of your cosmetic needs.

Spike in healthcare workers on sick leave as health crisis worsens
Aug 26, 2021 | Health, Libby Mettam MLA
New figures obtained by the Opposition show a concerning increase in the number of sick days WA healthcare workers are taking as the health crisis worsens.
The figures show there has been a 17 per cent increase* in sick leave since the WA Labor Government was elected, with the Child and Adolescent Health Service (CAHS), QEII and Country Health Service reporting the biggest spikes.
"There were more than 471,000 sick days taken across the health system from March 2020 – to the end of Feb 2021, up from 397,000 in March 2017," Shadow Health Minister Libby Mettam said.
"Of particular concern, workers employed in the Child and Adolescent Health Service took 51,685 days of sick leave in 2020-2021, 11,000 more sick days than the year before. It is also a 39 per cent increase since 2017 when Labor was elected.
"There were also significant levels of sick leave at QEII, which reported a 43 per cent increase between 2017 and 2021 and within the WA Country Health Service, which recorded a 26 per cent jump over the same period."
In the last year alone, the WA Country Health Service has recorded an extra 10,000 sick days compared to 2019- 2020.
"While first and foremost this is concerning from a physical health perspective for those workers, we know that sick leave can be indicative of a much bigger burn-out problem within the health system.
"We know the health system is in crisis with frontline health workers regularly being asked to do overtime and double shifts and unfortunately that is unsustainable over a longer period.
"The WA Labor Government keeps spruiking its recruitment drive but there is real concern on the ground that in the meantime, the burnout of those already within the system will only continue to get worse."

It happened so fast, I barely had time to breathe. One moment I was standing in front of Finn and the next moment his hands gripped my shoulders, his lips pressed against mine. The blood rushed in my ears, and my heart pounded as he deepened the kiss. Every nerve in my body fired with desire as he drew me closer. I sank in to him for a brief second, letting the heat of his skin draw me in, but then I remembered who he was, his oaths, his allegiances.
With a cry of protest, I wrenched myself free, panting and heaving, trying to ignore the hot ache settling in my abdomen. God, I wanted him. Stupid Elizabeth. Stupid.
He stared at me in shock, his fingers on his lips, as if he wasn't quite sure what had just happened.
I took that moment of confusion to swing my hand around and slap!
His head jerked back, and a palm print bloomed bright on his cheek.
"You should really ask first, you know?" I bit my bottom lip. In spite of the stinging sensation in my hand, a part of me felt drawn to Finn, a hot, spellbinding gravity luring me to him. I took a step forward.
Finn's warm breath brushed my cheek. "I can't…I can't control myself around you," he said in a strained voice.
"Is that what you want?" I raised my eyes to meet his dark gaze. "Control?" I traced my fingers against the back of his neck, my hands seeking his scalp. Finn's body relaxed, his invisible armor crumbling beneath my touch. Heat emanated from his body as I moved in closer.
"Elizabeth," he said. "We shouldn't." But his voice was soft, and his lips brushed my ear, and I tangled my hands in his hair, silky strands running through my fingers.
"Kiss me," I whispered against his jaw.
I pushed my hips against him, and he groaned low in his throat.
"Ye—" But I didn't even finish the word as his mouth covered mine, hot, wet, and hungry. His arms slid down, and he grabbed my waist, his fingers traveling down the whispering green silk until he pulled my hips against him. His tongue darted between my teeth, shifting his weight so I could feel his desire through his trousers.
"Oh, God, you're not…you're not dead inside…" I said, my fingers grasping onto his suit jacket.
"Do you feel that?" He thrust again. I gasped, my knees growing weak until I thought I would collapse to the floor.

Tillerson Moves to Affirm Constructive Ties with China After a Rocky Start
By Reuters On 2/21/17 at 8:07 PM EST
U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson greets Department of State employees upon arrival at the Department of State in Washington, U.S., February 2, 2017. REUTERS/Joshua Roberts REUTERS/Joshua Roberts
World Rex Tillerson China Donald Trump Trade
U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson spoke by telephone with China's top diplomat on Tuesday and affirmed the importance of a constructive U.S.-China relationship, and the two agreed on the need to address the threat posed by North Korea, the State Department said.
Tillerson and Yang Jiechi, China's state councilor, also discussed economics and trade as well as potential cooperation on counterterrorism, law enforcement and transnational crime, the State Department said in a statement.
The call appeared to be the latest effort by the world's two largest economies to put relations back on an even keel after a rocky start following U.S. President Donald Trump's November election victory.
"Secretary Tillerson and State Councilor Yang affirmed the importance of a constructive bilateral relationship," the U.S. statement said. "The two sides agreed on the need to address the threat that North Korea poses to regional stability."
The call follows a meeting between China's Foreign Minister Wang Yi and Tillerson on Friday, their first face-to face encounter since the latter took on his job at the start of this month.
In that meeting, Wang stressed that common interests between China and the United States far outweigh their differences.
Trump angered Beijing in December by talking to the president of Taiwan and saying the United States did not have to stick to the "one China" policy, under which Washington acknowledges the Chinese position that there is only one China and Taiwan is part of it.
Trump also accused China of not doing enough to rein in its neighbor North Korea.
However, in a phone call with Chinese leader Xi Jinping last week, Trump agreed to honor the "one China" policy, a major diplomatic boost for Beijing, which brooks no criticism of its claim to self-ruled Taiwan.
On Saturday, China's Commerce Ministry said it would ban all coal imports from North Korea until the end of this year after Pyongyang tested an intermediate-range ballistic missile in its first direct challenge to the international community since Trump took office.
China announced in April it would ban North Korean coal imports to comply with U.N. sanctions aimed at starving Pyongyang of funds for its nuclear and missile programs.
But it made exceptions for deliveries intended for "the people's wellbeing" and not connected to the weapons programs.
Other areas of disagreement between the United States and China include trade imbalances and China's territorial claims in the South China Sea.

In honour of my latest video, Diary Of A Pommie In Western Australia, I'm dedicating this Friday Funnies post to Pommie Humour. I first wrote about this particular Pommie Humour back in 2012! That post was called Living in Australia and Buying Your first Condom. It was actually the second post in the Friday Funnies series.
This first bit of Pommie Humour isn't accurate at all when depicting a Aussie dunny, but its still funny.
This takes place in the north of Australia i a place called Queensland which is very hot, humid and the pubs are rough.
This posh pommie bloke travelling through Queensland in the middle of summer by bicycle is caught in a huge tropical storm. He sees a sign which says there is a pub 18 miles up the road. So he rides his bike to the pub and when he finally gets there his appearance resembles that of a drowned rat.
As he walks in the locals hardly even look up from their beers. Even though he's dripping wet. He heads up to the bar and orders a scotch on ice. The barman gives him the worst scotch he's ever tasted but the pommie drinks it down and asks the barman where the dunny (toilet) is. The barman tells him it is outside.
So the pommie trudges outside into the rain and all he can see in the rain is two big piles of turds, one much bigger than the other. So the pommie walks over to the smaller pile, relieved that someone had the sense to start a new pile since the larger one was clearly unmanageable.
He has his pants around his ankles and is in the process of relieving himself when a gunshot rings out and a bullet smacks into the heap just beside his head.
Well the poor pommie turns around, in a somewhat vulnerable position, and sees this huge Aussie guy standing at the door of the pub with his still smoking gun in his hand.
"What..What is going on?" Stammers the poor pommie.

Detling
There's no real livestock here today
at the East of England Showground near Peterborough,
just thousands of stalls stuffed with goodies for our team to explore.
The big question is, will they find a priceless treasure?
Each team gets £300 and an hour to find three bargain collectables.
They also have an expert to help them make those choices
to find the pieces which will bring the biggest profit.
And if they do make any money they get to keep it.
It's easy. So easy, it's enough to make you go dizzy.
Today's programme is turning out to be something of a generation game.
For the blues we've got Jerry and Lauren, father and daughter.
And for the reds, we've got Karen and Cheryl.
Karen being mother, and stepdaughter.
-Is that right?
Now Cheryl, you first met Karen when she was dating your dad, yes?
-Yes, that's right.
-And you had a bit of a nerve-wracking first encounter?
We went for a Chinese meal, and it was very nerve-wracking
cos I wasn't sure whether I was going to meet the wicked stepmother.
-Well, quite.
-But luckily she turned out to be quite nice.
Oh, wasn't that a result!
Was it your idea to come on Bargain Hunt?
Yes, it was. Karen didn't actually know that we were coming onto Bargain Hunt at all.
Obviously, I've got quite an interest in antiques, so Karen's learning every day, aren't you?
That's really good. What sort of things are you into?
I quite like '80s film memorabilia.
Ghostbusters, that sort of thing. I have a small Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man.
And Care Bears and My Little Ponies as well.
-You're owning up to collecting My Little Pony?
-Oh, that's sweet isn't it?
Now, Karen, you and your husband Mick aren't only partners in love, are you?
-You're partners in business.
-Tell us about that.
-We started a company about two years ago.
-And we are a GRP manufacturing company - glass reinforced plastics.
-What sort of things do you make?
Predominantly, we do coach interiors, the drivers' decency screens for a well-known coach company.
You've got rather a noisy hobby.
Yes, we do clay pigeon shooting. That takes up quite a bit of our time.
Do you shoot a 12-bore, then?
-I do, yeah.
-Do you? Yes.
-A proper big man's gun.
Oh, good, well, let's hope your Bargain Hunting's going to be on target today.
Jolly good luck. Now for the blues.
Jerry, you're a great collector, tell us about your favourite subject.
Well, I collect Art Nouveau metalwork, mainly.
That's Archibald Knox, Liberty and the Glasgow school.
Right, all quite expensive things, actually.
-Now, Lauren, are you close to your dad?
-Yes, I am very close to him.
We have quite similar personalities.
I live at home but I want to get a job, probably in
the publishing sector, which I'm in, and live in New York.
Live in New York? That's the business, isn't it? Good for you.
Lauren, much as I know you love your dad,
you have been known to play the odd naughty trick on him, haven't you?
Yes, a few years back when we were holidaying he fell asleep in the sun by the pool,
so I decided to get my bikini top and lay it on him so when he woke up he had the tan lines. So he had to
carry on walking around the swimming pool for the rest of the holiday looking like he wore a bikini.
How very funny. Well, I'm glad you got that off your chest.
Now for the money moment. Here we go. £300 apiece.
£300. You know the rules. Your experts await.
And off you go and very, very good luck.
So, two teams with family connections,
but who is going to finish up with the mother of all profits?
Each team has their own personal antiques expert on hand.
In the red corner, James Braxton.
In the blue corner, Charles Hanson.
Now, what have you two done with the luggage, then?
They'll turn up somewhere, with any luck!
What's taken your fancy with this one?
It's just something I like,
and it's quite old and hopefully useful.
I thought it was just a nice thing.
It has quite a nice look, doesn't it? It's very heavy-duty.
It's got some serious wheels on it.
-And, I see you, Cheryl, strategically holding the handle... The right handle is gone.
-I know.
-"Would suit one-armed porter."
What I like about it, the wood is very nice.
It's either elm or ash.
I would probably go for ash for this one.
It's got a bit of give, ash, it's a bit springy, which you need.
It's quite cheap.
-That's what we're thinking.
-How cheap?
-If you could get it for £15 or £20 I think we're in with a chance.
-It's a good buy.
-In the meantime, I'll leave you to go and negotiate and I'm going to go on.
-OK. Have you got it?
Cheryl and Karen bagged the one-handled sack barrow for 20 quid.
Roll on the auction, I say.
Jerry, Lauren, come and have a look at this.
I know you're a great man for Arts and Crafts. What do you think?
-That's marvellous.
-Wonderful hand-crafted design.
It's hammered, it's in copper.
Wonderful roundel-embossed detail.
-But Jerry, what is it?
-I suspect it held something by a fire.
Absolutely. If we lift the top up we can see inside.
Slightly stained. It would've been a coal bin.
A decorative coal bin from about 105 years ago.
There's one slight concern with it.
Look at your handles. They look in keeping, but in fact they are later.
-That's a shame, isn't it, but even so it doesn't detract.
-I think it's a great object.
-It's on at £85.
-Well, we'd have to get it down.
-You're right. Set me a target.
-Why don't you say 60?
-60, yeah.
I think 60 sounds quite reasonable and if I can really negotiate hard it could even be £55.
And with that it could be a bargain.
-That would be outstanding. There's your target.
Charles sure hit the target all right, one copper coal box snapped up for £55.
Cheryl, why? What's going on here?
I quite like this. It's stamped Carlton Ware on the bottom.
Carlton Ware did masses of things, lots of advertising wares,
and they did this very bright colourful range. What sort of date do you think these are?
I wouldn't... I don't have a clue really, to be honest.
You speak of 1987 as them closing.
This looks a lot earlier. It's got a good feel about it, hasn't it?
Probably '30s. What do you think, Karen?
-I'm not a lover of it. But I know Cheryl does like it.
-What's the price of these?
Well, we were looking at buying all three as a set together, so it's 42.
-Shall we appease your friend here?
-Let her have her set.
£42... I think you've got to get it a lot lower.
-Go on, get a better price, get knocking off.
And a better price it was, 33 notes for all three pieces of Carlton Ware.
-Shall we try again?
-Try once more.
Right, ready?
-Go!
-Oh, dear, dear.
-I told you it was rubbish.
-It's fine, Lauren.
-What is it, first of all?
-It's a horse-racing game, I think.
I think the nice thing is, it is all complete, Lauren. That's a really good factor.
Look at the decoration. The enamelling is all there.
It hasn't been repainted.
I don't think it will make a lot of money.
It doesn't work terribly well and it's not very good.
-Well, I'd put £5 of your money on this making a profit.
-That's a deal.
-What's on it?
-It's priced at 35.
-OK. In a saleroom, coming to valuation day, I would say to a client
it's worth, at a gallop, £40. At a walking trot, no more than 20.
It's one of those, Jerry, where we could either fall or fly.
Oh, right. What do you think then, Charles? Is it worth going for?
Buy it for £25. I'm in at 25-1.
And Jerry did manage to knock them down by a tenner. £25 paid. Gee-Wiz, indeed!
Ladies, come over here. What do you think of this? It's taken years off me.
This mighty mirror. It's a nice swing-framed toilet mirror.
-I'm not keen, I'm afraid.
You haven't even looked at it!
-Let me sell it to you. It's nice mahogany.
It's got a lot of turning, there's a lot going on here.
We've got acorn finials. We've got ebonised bosses,
which is reflected in the rather nice ebony stringing round the mirror.
But it's a nice item. I like it.
-And price-wise, £40.
-Oh, that's not too bad.
-Pretty good, then.
-You haven't really sold it to me, but it's not a bad price.
-I think it will do well.
It's great for a dressing table, a really nice item.
And it's a done deal. I have taken some drastic action. This, I have bought.
Well, it's a good price, so we're OK.
-£40, OK?
-Yes, £40 is good.
-That's great, well done, another one in the bag, toodle-pip!
That was a close call.
-How're you doing?
-Hi, Charles!
-That's nice.
And where was this?
This was at a stand specialising in Art Nouveau.
Very nice. It appeals to you for what reason?
Mainly because of the colour of the heart enamel because that is my favourite colour.
And from seeing things that my dad's bought. I've started to like them.
We'll look at the form. I'll pass this to you, Jerry.
Here we've got, looking at this motif on the top section first of all,
this typical, almost Charles Voysey, heart-shaped motif.
Glasgow School of Art, lovely enamel.
And if we wander down this form, it's very much Arts and Crafts style, a return to craftsmanship,
honesty, integrity in design. What's on the base?
There's a bit of a mark... Connell, 83 Cheapside.
Good. George Connell, that's a nice mark.
-Connell was a designer at Liberty's in the very early years of the 20th century.
And we can see from this nice early mark as well, it'll be 1905 or thereabouts.
-What's it worth?
-Auction guide price with me between £40 and £60.
-Well, it's for sale at 90.
-OK. So we'll have to get it down.
-It's a little rich, isn't it?
-Yeah, a little rich. I know you like it but we're here to make money.
-I'm here to win with you guys.
-Do your stuff.
-OK, I'm sure I will.
-Strut your stuff.
-I will try my hardest.
Lauren loves it, and Lauren bought it. Price, £60.
Four, three, two, one, time's up. Let's see what the teams have bought.
Cheryl and Karen started with the sack barrow, rolling in at £20.
They got the three pieces of Carlton Ware for £33.
And that mahogany toilet mirror? James clearly likes it.
And he liked the price too. £40 paid.
Let's see what the blues bought.
Lauren and Jerry went with the copper coal box.
Will it set the auction alight? £55 paid.
This tin-plate horsey game cost a pony - £25 to you and me.
And the jug came in at £60.
Will it prove rewarding or not?
We've come almost to the east coast to TW Gaze saleroom in Diss,
to be especially with Elizabeth Talbot.
-I'm very flattered you've come all this way!
-What could be nicer?!
-Cheryl and Karen went with the sack barrow.
Which at first glance is not, in my view, likely to be a great hit.
But you love these things here, don't you?
We do, I'm afraid. It's something we can't get enough of.
You have different ones. Porters' sack barrows from railway stations,
sack barrows from the local store, and lots of different variations. So they're surprisingly interesting.
-Well, we're hoping it will fetch £30-£40.
Well, that would be fantastic. £20 paid.
-What about these three little pieces of Carlton?
Like a lot of other pieces of Carlton Ware,
-they don't stand apart from any other of the leaf and tomato design. Seen one, seen them all.
-Quite.
-So the estimate we've put on is £25-£35.
-OK, £33 they paid.
-We won't get much more than that.
No, what about the toilet mirror?
Useful little piece of furniture which has a lot of decorative detail to it.
It's late as they go, late 19th, early 20th century in date.
-Bevelled mirror which always indicates more quality than a flat mirror.
-I quite like it, yes.
-Lovely, what's your estimate?
-They paid £40.
-So that looks a bit tight.
But your sack barrow, if you're predicting correctly, they should do all right on.
The salad bowls will be a disaster.
-Overall they will need their bonus buy.
So did you have a great time shopping?
-Yes, it was good fun wasn't it?
-Yes, a bit hectic.
But you girls love all that, don't you?
-You only spent a miserable £93, giving James £207, which is a phenomenal amount of money.
Do we want to see how he's spent it?
-We do, yes.
-Do we really want to see? We really want to see, James.
-There we are. Something flashy.
-It certainly is.
-A silver-plated, sort of mantel timepiece.
-Rather nice little clock. It does actually work as well.
-Well, I spent £40...
-Oh, right.
-..of that £207.
-What do you think?
-I'm not that keen on it.
-Neither am I!
-It's not really our thing.
-It sounds very cheap.
How much would you expect it to go for?
-Well, I asked my clock man at work and he thought 100-110.
-Oh, really?
You don't have to take it, though.
You don't even have to decide until the sale of your first three items, but for the viewers at home
let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about the timepiece.
Well, that's nice and shiny, isn't it, Elizabeth?
Certainly is. I like this, actually.
We've seen similar models to this sell for up to 100, 120 before
so I think we've a bit of scope that this will do fairly well.
-How much? £50-£70.
-£40 paid. Splendido.
That's it for the reds, let's have a look at the blues.
-Lauren and Jerry went for the coal box.
-The style of it is in the right vein.
I like the Arts and Crafts, the interlaced strap work and the designer look to the roundels, etc.
You're incredibly positive as ever, Elizabeth, which is great.
How much do you think it's going to bring?
We're looking at £80-£120.
-Really? That would be a belter.
-We'll see what we can do.
-They should see that back.
-Lovely. Now Gee-Wiz, our little novelty game.
-It's a bit of fun.
Great fun. The positives are a nice period of game-making.
In the 1930s, all these parlour games where they gathered around...
-No telly.
-No telly. Exactly.
-Fed up with the radio, a bit of Gee-Wiz.
-A bit of Gee-Wiz.
"How about a game of Gee-Wiz tonight?"
-That could lead to...
-All sorts of things.
But the sad thing is it has suffered a bit of damage.
And again to a collector it has lost its box.
It would have been in a small box, with a nice decorative lid illustrating the contents.
And that would have been really evocative of the 1930s. So, £10-£20 for that one.
£25 is what they paid. I think they'll be lucky to get £25 back.
Now for the pewter- and ceramic-inlaid wee covered jug. Do you fancy this as an object?
I don't personally like it as much as copper from the Art Nouveau period and Art Deco period
and the Arts and Crafts period.
I like the combination and the shape of the piece.
I like the heart insert but I don't think the Liberty connection is strong enough.
I'd pin it more on its style than on the Liberty connection.
It has a little something about it. What's your estimate?
-£40 to £60? Well, they paid £60.
I am amazed by what you've put on the coal box.
-And very encouraged by that.
-I mean basically the whole thing may wash its face.
In which case they'll probably need their bonus buy and we'll go and have a look at it.
-Lauren and Jerry, you had a fantastic shop up there, didn't you?
Super. Anyway, you spent 140, you gave Charles 160, what did you spend the 160 on?
-Look at that, just look at that.
-Yeah, look at it!
It's a masterpiece by the infamous name Clarice Cliff.
And this is what I would call delicious Delicia pattern.
It's the Delicia pattern, which was a very, very rare Clarice pattern which came out in 1929.
It's unique for its type of drip-enamelled glaze effect.
-In really good condition it's a rare item.
-I hope.
-How much did you buy it for?
-Well, it's quite expensive, Lauren.
-I set sail and I paid £160 for it.
-You're joking?
-No, I'm not joking.
-You're not joking.
-It was 160, was it?
-Do you honestly think it will make a profit?
-We would be taking a gamble here, but I do rate it.
-You have until the sale of your first three items to decide,
but just bear in mind what he has to say about the speculative nature of this beast.
On the other hand you may have no choice at that moment but to go with the bonus buy.
But for the viewers at home let's find out what the auctioneer thinks.
No programme would be complete without a bit of Clarice Cliff.
It's not always this type of Clarice Cliff that we see, is it?
-The Delicia is very, very distinctive for this dribble glaze
that Shelley and other factories used to do. This is very distinctively Clarice Cliff colours.
-Anyway, £80 to £120, but I think it might do a bit more than that. £160.
-Might it? On a good day?
Yes, but probably not over £200.
-Well, they paid 160.
-Well, I think that's about right.
-They've got a chance of getting 160?
-They might.
-Anyway, we will see you on the rostrum.
-You certainly shall.
-We look forward to it very much.
C and K, Cheryl and Karen, how are you feeling?
-Quite excited.
-Nervous.
-Why are you nervous, Karen?
-Cos we're not sure whether we'll make any money or not.
-We want to win.
-You only spent £93.
-Which is so miserable.
Anyway you've got James' bonus buy to fall back on.
-How exciting is that?
-Very exciting.
-That mantel clock.
-I urge you to take it.
Yes, even before we get there.

-Super, well done.
-Well done to you.
Hang on a minute. Plus £25.
-Are you going to go with the bonus buy?
-Come on, you choose.
-No, you're not going with it?
-Here it comes.
-Lot 281 now.
We have the 1930s Clarice Cliff Delicia pattern vase there.
A good piece here for Clarice Cliff. May I say £100 to start?
-It's a good object, this.
-£100, surely.
-Amazing.
-Come on, £50 I'll take, £50, anybody want this one?
At £50, surely. Does nobody want this one at £50? Come on!
-I did say it looked like someone had been sick on it.
-So did I.
-Is that what you said?
-I don't believe it!
£30? No? I will actually pass on that one.
They passed it?! Is that a first?
That's the first time we've had a bonus-buy passed!
-What's going on? I don't believe this!
-It's your accolade, Charles.
-Thank God for that.
All for the wrong reasons!
-Anyway I think we're all terribly pleased that you didn't go with the bonus buy.
We're very, very pleased about that.
You are £25 up, all right, irrespective of the family carve-up of the winnings,
with Lauren paying her £5 out.
But I do not want you to tell the reds, OK?
-Stay shtoom on this because we'll reveal all at the end of the show.
But you've been a fantastic team. Bad luck, Carlos.
-I'm lost for words, Tim.
-Yeah, you're not the only one.
Well, well, well, well, isn't it marvellous when you have two teams both in profit and extremely close?
Now, have you been chattering to one another?
-You haven't said a thing?
-Not a thing.
-That's not very sociable, is it?
Oh, right. Well, it's the big profit question that I'm glad you haven't talked about,
because it is my duty to unveil today the winner and the runner-up.
And I have to tell you it is the reds who are the runners-up.
How about that? So, overall you have £12. Cheryl, there you go. £12.
-Your tenner and a couple of quid. Have you had fun?
-Have you had a good time, Karen?
-You've been a great team, thank you very much. But for the victors, the blues, this is amazing.
Despite everything, you've managed to hang on to £25.
-In fact you made a profit on each item.
-Which is brilliant.
And then your smartest move was not to go with the bonus buy!
I said that quite quickly, Charles, trying to mask this, because as the bonus buy didn't sell...
I would have had to charge you with £160-worth.
-Oh, dear!
-The full monty would have gone on the account, I'm afraid.
But you didn't go with that and that was very wise.
-Lauren...
-Jerry, £25 with our compliments.
-That's the bet.
-Oh, it's for the bet!
They have a lot of sorting-out to do in their family. Anyway, have you had a nice time?
-We've loved having you on the programme. Great, great fun.
-Join us soon for some more Bargain Hunting, yes?

Do-it-yourself tile drainage

Knife to a gun fight

Harvest in Victoria, Australia
The certified seed hype
Safe grain handling
Combine easy-to-use GPS technology with high land prices, and more Manitoba farmers are installing their own tile draining
By Angela Lovell

Tile drainage has become increasingly popular in Manitoba. With only a few installers to go around and costs anywhere from $800 to $1,000 per acre, some adventurous farmers are opting to give it a go themselves.
Northern Plains Drainage Systems Inc. of Carman has sold over 50 tile plows to farmers across Western Canada in the last two years and says interest is growing fast. "The demand for tile drainage has been there for a long time in potato and vegetable production," says co-owner, Joel Classen. "The biggest increase that we're seeing now is in grain and oilseed farms."
For Matthew Dixon who farms near Swan River, Manitoba, it was the lack of installers in his area that made him decide to try installing tile drainage himself. "We're far enough north that we're out of the way of the general contractors and for us time is a major concern. In the fall we sometimes only have a week or two to get certain things done," says Dixon. "That was the main reason for us getting our own equipment."
Dixon had struggled through four consecutive years of excess moisture and finally decided enough was enough. "We farm a lot of heavy land and once the soil gets saturated there's not much you can do because the soil profile is so full of water and the heavy clay has slow internal drainage, so it just drowns out the crop," he says. "We had been getting three or four inch rains and it was frustrating to see all that time and effort wasted away. That's why I decided to try tile drainage."
Most farmers start off slow, adds Classen. "They'll pick their worst areas and start with those," he says. "They're coming to our workshops, taking their time and learning as they go. With the technology out there today, the actual installations have become a lot easier. The plow control system is automated and will keep the tile on grade within the depth parameters you set for each install," he says.
"It's not something you just decide overnight that you're going to go throw some pipe in the ground," says Dixon, who attended workshops and did a lot of homework before taking the plunge. "It takes a lot of time and planning to organize everything and learn exactly how to do it and it's all dependent on the project. Some projects are small enough that it's pretty well common sense that you know what should be done. Generally, you farm the land, so you know where the water wants to go."

Considerations for DIY-ers
Joel Classes says the plow control system is automated and will keep the tile on grade within the depth parameters you set for each install.

There are trade-offs that are important for the self-installer to consider, says Dr. Gary Sands, a drainage expert at the University of Minnesota. "It's not a simple thing to do drainage well, even with the fancy tools that are out there now, GPS guidance and software and so forth, one still has to understand what goes into a good drainage system," he says. "Regardless of where a person is on that scale from a farmer self-installer to a contractor, a person needs to understand how these systems work, what goes into a good system, what things to avoid in the field and the do's and don'ts of installation and troubleshooting. A lot of farmers who do their own installation started out by observing the pros doing it first."
Dixon turned to some professional help for larger projects on his farm. "For the more complicated, larger projects you should get help and just not wing it and try and do it yourself," he says. "Do the full survey and the pipe sizing. When we planned a couple of big projects here I got Joel Classen and his business partner, Simon to do the surveying and design a grid system. They have the experience to know what works and what doesn't."
It's questionable whether a self-install will actually save the farmer much up-front money. Equipment costs, which include a tile plow, RTK-GPS control system, a backhoe and tile trailer are likely going to set him back $70,000 to $100,000 or more. The cost of materials can range from $400/acre to $600/acre depending on a number of different factors that will influence the design and installation of the system and labour is extra.
"I think there's the temptation when a farmer looks at this to say, with a relatively small investment in a plow and some software, I could go out and do this very inexpensively," says Sands. "I think that's a mistake. First of all anyone's time is worth money and if you're out there doing drainage work there's something else you're not doing, and you can't do it alone. You ideally need a crew of four to six people to do the work. Then you've got to invest the time in learning how to design and so forth, so I think there is really more cost there than a lot of producers give credit to."
An advantage for the do-it-yourself farmer is that he may have some of the equipment and technology needed on the farm already. "One major cost is the horse power of the tractor, so if it's a tractor drawn plough then they already own 80 per cent of the cost of the unit to get started," says Classen, and some GPS guidance systems already in the tractor cab may be compatible with the plough's RTK GPS control system, depending on the manufacturer.
The benefits for Dixon on the land he tiled were immediate and visible. He could easily tell where he had tiled and where not because his tiled crops were no longer drowned out and he got a 50 per cent yield advantage in those areas. He's also seen less soil erosion during heavy rainfall and less runoff. "The water is soaking into the land and draining slowly and we get drier, warmer soil in the spring so we get better crop development early on," he says. "There are less weeds because the crop's more competitive, so there are many benefits."
The only negative aspects are the labour needed for the installation and the fact that it can take a year or two to get the land back into shape afterwards, adds Dixon. "We do the installation in the fall but we don't go back until spring to finish it off just because we want to do as little disturbance to the soil as possible," he says. "That's our preference; everybody has a different way of doing it. Some people, right after installation, they'll go and level off the ridges but we know our dirt and that if you just leave it, maybe you'll prevent some frost going down and the soil will heal naturally and settle naturally."
There are a lot of things to consider before you start tile drainage but an important one to remember is the neighbours, says Dixon, who, being something of a tile drainage pioneer in his area, found himself a lead topic of conversation for a while. "You want to keep everybody in the loop with what you're doing because there might be a time when you have to go onto the neighbour's land a little bit to put an outlet in or you've got to go across the neighbour's field," he says. "Sometimes what you are doing is to the neighbour's benefit because if the water's running off your land onto their land and you eliminate that, it benefits them in the end too. I think as years go on, there won't be any objections to tiling because I think everybody will start to see the benefits."
The economic benefits of tile drainage are going to be as individual as the farms it's installed on, and most farmers won't make the investment if it doesn't pay. Dixon knows that his investment is long-term, but is sure it's going to provide ongoing benefits to his farm. "You're not going to sink $1,000 per acre into marginal land that's only going to produce marginal profits," he says.
In his case he's saving crops on productive land. "We wouldn't be doing more (tile drainage) if we didn't feel it was beneficial. You can try and control everything like your seed and your fertilizer and your chemicals but you can't control the amount of moisture you get. This gives us an option to keep the crop alive when we get these heavy rains and there are ongoing benefits that we see more and more every year. Once you get a crop growing on that land every year you're producing a better crop and your land is able to handle more water."

Chapter 111 Family's Secret Warehouse
A bronze-colored door made of metal, approximately three meters high and no more than two meters wide. The jewels inlaid on it let off brilliant rays of light inside the passage while the bronze-colored door itself shone with a cold and desolate radiance. Thick, cold and emotionless, these were the impressions that the door gave.
The surface of the door was carved with a fierce tiger roaring at the sky. Anyone who understood a little about Black Tiger Family would know that it was the family's insignia. Evidently, behind the door was one of the genuine core places of the Black Tiger Family. Lin Qi held his breath while blankly looking at the door as his heart felt a little scared and anxious.
Blackbeard looked at the door, smiled proudly and said, "What do you think, this door is very firm, it was forged from a kind of metal that can no longer be made today. Oh, This door's history is awfully long, it had experienced at least the entire Rebirth Age and Darkness Age, it was said to be passed down since Destruction Age."
Lin Qi was momentarily speechless. Rebirth Age was more that 1,000 years long, but how long was Darkness Age? No one knew how long Darkness Age actually lasted because constant wars and terrifying natural disasters destroyed the records dozens of times. But one thing was certain, the only definite written record of the later period of Darkness Age lasted for 500 years.
There was no need to mention Destruction Age; it was only a myth. Everything about Destruction Age and the time before it was only a legend. Such an ancient time, who knew what happened then? A metal door passed down since the Destruction Age? Lin Qi was a little skeptical towards the statement.
But, it was after all a statement passed down by the family's forefathers, so Lin Qi kept his own opinion and refrained from commenting.
Blackbeard laughed drily. He rubbed his nose and softly murmured, "I also feel that those old fellows were just flattering the ancestors. Although the material of this door is a bit strange, but seeing as it is so bright and clean without even a little rust, I think it can't be more than 500 years old!"
Coughing drily, Blackbeard walked up to the door before softly pressing the area around tiger's mouth several times with his hand. Lin Qi saw that Blackbeard pressed the several teeth inside the tiger's mouth. Yet the door had no response. Then Blackbeard retreated several steps while pulling Lin Qi along, then he pressed a certain conspicuous yet small magic array on the wall, inserting a hint of black tiger qi into the array.
The thirteen small gems on the magic formation lit up. Blackbeard bit his own index finger and smeared a drop of blood on the core of the formation. A bizarre light lit up within the formation, instantly evaporating the blood. A faint b.l.o.o.d.y mist spread out, enveloping the entire magic formation before the bronze door noiselessly opened upward. Blackbeard hastily walked in while pulling Lin Qi along.
"Remember the steps of opening the door just now." Only after entering through the door did Blackbeard solemnly said to Lin Qi, "If you made a mistake, the passage, even including the entire Black Beech Hill would collapse with a bang! Underneath this place is a huge self-destructive magic formation, sufficient to destroy half of Dunerk, you must not make a mistake."
Lin Qi's forehead broke in cold sweat. A magic formation sufficient to destroy half of Dunerk? Black Tiger Family's ancestral residence had always been located above such a terrifying thing? If the formation suddenly went out of control, wouldn't everyone in Dunerk be buried along with Black Tiger Family?
Grinning, Lin Qi exhaled deeply. He earnestly said, "I won't forget."
Blackbeard looked at Lin Qi in a serious manner. He nodded and said, "Remember the family's first ancestral teaching, a man of Black Tiger Family can only marry a woman of pure eastern bloodline. You have to remember, if you and a woman of West Continent gave birth to a child, you absolutely couldn't let him enter this passage."
Lin Qi looked at Blackbeard in shock. The first ancestral teaching of Black Tiger Family was that all men of Black Tiger Family could only marry a woman of the same pure eastern bloodline, the teaching had already been carried out for countless years. But the teaching apparently exist because of the passage?
"Why?" Lin Qi curiously asked Blackbeard.
Blackbeard wrinkled his brows, clearly he also had a head full of fog. He muttered to himself for a while before shaking his head and said, "I'm also not very clear of the reason, but if our family mixed with the people of West Continent, the blood of the mixed bloodline is incapable of activating the magic formation, in turn, this door also won't open. Not only this door, the family's eighteen secret passages, all of them used this kind of blood authentication magic formation."
"A descendant of mixed bloodline means losing the right of inheriting the core places of the family!" Blackbeard earnestly said to Lin Qi, "To play around and have fun is okay, but you can't give birth to a child with those women of West Continent. Only a child born from a woman with pure eastern bloodline was qualified to inherit Black Tiger Family. Those mixed breed would only turn the family into a mess; this is a lesson of blood, you have to remember!"
Lin Qi recalled two extremely terrifying internal conflicts in the history of the family that Blackbeard told him when he was young. Black Tiger Family that originally had a flourishing number of people was ruined because of the two internal conflicts. As a result, today, because of the damage from the century-long Land Island War, only two directly-related male descendants remained in Black Tiger Family!
At that time, Blackbeard didn't explain the cause of the internal conflicts to Lin Qi. Now, it seemed they were conflicts between the descendants of the mixed breed and pure bloodline. Lin Qi solemnly nodded. He lowered his voice and said, "I understand, but to find a woman of pure eastern bloodline in West Continent…."
Lin Qi was suddenly extremely worried about his future marriage.
Blackbeard thoughtfully rubbed his chin. He said in a low voice, "If your luck is good, you can be like me, s.n.a.t.c.hing one at sea; if your luck is bad, you can be like that uncle of yours who died at war. Right, aha, you can pay a huge price to buy some from the east."
Laughing drily, Blackbeard helplessly said, "Naturally, the women you bought, their appearance, character, upbringing and knowledge wouldn't be very good. After all, of the big eastern families, who would marry their own daughter off to the west that is thousands of miles away? Boy, this will depend on your luck in the future, hehe, didn't you get to know that Long Cheng?"
Lin Qi's eyes suddenly brightened. He grinned and said, "Right, that guy apparently is a n.o.bility!"
Rubbing Long Cheng's imperial order tablet tied around his wrist, Lin Qi suddenly had confidence in his heart. Lin Qi wasn't very fond of women; he liked dazzling gold better. But in order to pass on the family's bloodline, he would have to think of a way to bring dozens of beauties back from the east in the future.
Blackbeard patted Lin Qi's shoulder and sincerely said, "The family's growth in number shall completely be on your shoulder. Your old man won't do. I've promised your mother, after she died, I won't look for a stepmother so she could bully you, so your old man can't do anything about it!"
While Lin Qi felt slightly moved, Blackbeard already laughed heartily.
"Look, this is the family's most important secret warehouse. Go choose some things, as long as it's helpful for you, pick a few more good stuff."
Chapter 112 Priceless Hidden Treasure
Following Blackbeard's words, the originally pitch-black world inside the door suddenly brightened. An enormous light magic formation was embedded on the ceiling. A soft white light shone, illuminating the large room below.
The underground room was nearly 100 meters in height and more than 200 meters in length and width. Lin Qi looked around in astonishment. The room was extremely huge, way more s.p.a.cious that the largest church hall he had ever seen. It was hard to imagine what kind of force was needed to open up such a huge s.p.a.ce underground. Lin Qi curiously looked at Blackbeard.
"So big, so magnificent!" Blackbeard rubbed his nose and earnestly said with wrinkled brows. "I also have no idea how our forefathers managed to create such a huge place, perhaps this place was originally an underground cavern. Oh, this place is nothing, this place is nothing, it is only our family's largest secret warehouse, there are still three other passages that lead to three smaller yet more important places."
Strongly patting Lin Qi's shoulder, Blackbeard said with a smile, "Look around, see what you need. You're eighteen already, you should contribute to the family, but your old man can't let you go bare-handed to pioneer a new territory, see what you need."
Lin Qi smacked his lips, greedily looking at the huge room ahead.
Numerous metal racks were neatly arranged, with various kinds of odd things piled up on them. There were gold bricks, gold bars, silver ingots, and a mountain of golden and silver jewels that glistened brilliantly, making Lin Qi's heart twitch. Such a huge secret warehouse, no less that half of the room was piled up with gold and silver. Among them, gold took up ten percent, silver took up seventy percent, while the rest was piled up with some sacks as big as a human head that were filled with all kinds of gems.
In the other half of the secret warehouse, some strange things were laid out, such as swords, armors, crossbows and arrows, also several huge ornate things that didn't seem to be worth much. For example, the three large black coffins, their materials were like crystal, yet their surfaces were inlaid with countless gold and silver threads. The threads outlined a complicated magic formation, while the eye of the formation was densely packed with numerous blood-colored gems.
The three coffins were laid on a corner of the secret warehouse, emitting a piercing cold air. Lin Qi merely glanced at them, yet he felt his blood nearly congealing.
Blackbeard hastily pulled Lin Qi's ear, making him shift his sight from the three black coffins. Blackbeard seriously said, "Don't draw their attention, they're the guardians of the secret warehouse, don't you draw their attention. If someone didn't trigger the self-destructive magic formation outside and trespass here, if they didn't have the family's bloodline, these guardians will tear them to pieces."
Lin Qi looked at Blackbeard in shock,"How can anyone trespass here?"
Blackbeard shrugged his shoulders, "It happened once before, a core member of the family was captured outside. His blood was drawn out, his memory extracted by some wicked magic. Two months afterward the person who killed him infiltrated this place."
Laughing grimly, Blackbeard shook his head and said, "But that person didn't expect that this place also had three guardians, he was torn to pieces before being consumed."
Pointing at the three coffins with an exceptionally solemn expression, Blackbeard said in a low voice, "Don't agitate them, they have already defended this place for the family for many years. Since the secret warehouse was established, they had been guarding this place. Anyone without the family's bloodline who enters this place will be torn to pieces."
Lin Qi glanced at those coffins in shock. Fine, the things Blackbeard had told him tonight were already sufficient to make him feel astonished, yet what shocked him the most was still the existence of the three guardians. What kind of creature could survive in such a hidden place underground for so many years? Death spirit creatures of legend? Or an even more sinister existence? Why would they protect the secret warehouse for Black Tiger Family?
Looking at Blackbeard's expression, it seemed he also had no idea on the details. Lin Qi could only shake his head and direct his attention to another place.
The forefathers of Black Tiger Family were clearly very attentive towards the secret warehouse. The treasures set on the racks were individually accompanied with an engraved plate, clearly indicating their origin and usage.
For instance, the set of full-bodied golden armor in front of Lin Qi that was carved with an elegant decorative design using an unknown blue metal. Although it was already a bit broken, the plate inscribed that the set of armor belong to a certain commander of the most famous, most vicious, most bloodthirsty 'Regiment of Disciplinary Knights' from the Church. It was one of the most important and well-known disciplinary knight armor in the Church.
"No, Lin Qi, this thing can't see the light!" Blackbeard quickly dispelled Lin Qi's certain bad intentions. He gritted his teeth and said, "You don't want to be chased around the continent to be killed by the people of the Church right? Then you mustn't take out this armor. Of course, this set of armor has an extremely powerful defensive abilities, but the method our ancestors obtain it then wasn't particularly above-board, they took action when the other party was down. Taking advantage of when the disciplinary knight regiment commander and a huge demon were on a stalemate, they were killed."
Strongly shaking his head, Blackbeard gravely said, "You absolutely can't let this thing see the light, go choose another one."
The saber of Gaul Empire's founding emperor, an incomparably sharp magic weapon that could release lightning magic to attack the enemy. Blackbeard once again dispelled Lin Qi's urge to take this thing out to show off. The blade was called 'Thunder God's Fury', Gaul Empire had always been tracing its whereabout. If Lin Qi dare to bring it to Borali and walk on the street, the imperial military department would immediately maneuver its army to surround and annihilate him.
Vias Business Union and the various tribes of Five Dalian Islands had a secret trade agreement during the century-long Land Island War. Lin Qi had no interest towards the thing while Blackbeard was very happy that Lin Qi wouldn't take the thing out. It was a fatal evidence against Vias Business Union, so Blackbeard intended to keep it for when it was necessary to blackmail them.
The imperial seal of a certain king or queen, Lin Qi also had no interest in this thing while Blackbeard similarly wouldn't let it see the light of day.
Personal pearl undergarment of a certain princess, Lin Qi was very flabbergasted on how the thing fell into the hands of Black Tiger Family, but although it wasn't worth much, it seemed it also couldn't see the light of day.
Certain royal family, certain imperial household, certain major character, Lin Qi wandered around the secret warehouse and suddenly discovered that there were some problems with the origin of these family collections. It seemed there was nothing here that he could overtly take out to use.
"Old man, did you bring me here intentionally to annoy me?" Lin Qi couldn't help but glance at the three strange black coffins in the corner.
Blackbeard laughed heartily. He pulled Lin Qi to the three passages at one corner of the secret warehouse and chose the leftmost one to walk into.

A Summerland firefighter works to control a recent wildfire. Because of the hot and dry weather
Campers careless around fires
After a wet spring and early summer, campers in the south Okanagan are becoming lax when it comes to fire safety.
John Arendt
Kevin Skrepnek, a fire information officer with the Kamloops Fire Centre, said last weekend there sere five abandoned campfires in the south Okanagan.
He said the earlier wet weather is likely a contributing factor.
"Unfortunately, it's really gotten people quite complacent," he said. "We've been consistently seeing a lot of abandoned campfires."
Throughout the province, there have been 183 wildfires this year, 119 of them caused by people.
The earlier rainfall resulted in more vegetation growing. Later, as the weather became hotter and drier, the vegetation has dried out, leaving more fuel to burn.
The soil is also extremely dry, not only on the top layer, but also in the duff layer, 10 to 20 centimetres deep.
"We definitely need to be a lot more vigilant," Skrepnek said.
Campfires are still permitted in the region, but in other parts of the province, fire bans are in place.
The Merritt and Lillooet fire zones already have fire bans in place. The Merritt fire zone extends to Headly and the Pennask Summit on the Coquihalla Connector.
Skrepnek said ay fire larger than a campfire is prohibited. If a fire ban was to take effect, he said the ban would be announced early in the week and would take effect on the weekend.

So what does this really mean now? I want to bring back active WTLUG meetings. How often and what type of format is up to the group. I have a location we can use that has internet, a projector, a TV, and most importantly a coffee pot.
If you have any questions or suggestions, feel free to email me (sblaydes [@] wtlug.org). I will be posting a meeting notice here soon.


Plan to stay with us and just outside our backdoor enjoy elegant wines made from American hybrid grapes. Sample selections of unique wines produced by family-owned Northern Illinois Wineries. Plan to spend the day with Food, Art and Live Music from Noon-7:00 p.m.
Make reservations early. Always a sold out weekend.


If you want to build your brand online, the first thing you should know is it will probably be easier than you could imagine.
Do not let the thought of putting yourself and your business out there scare you. Instead, think of it as an open invitation to show everyone what YOU have to offer, and what sets YOUR COMPANY apart from all others.
There are several suggestions for you to consider as you are getting ready to take the plunge. But I promise, these are not scary and you might just have too much fun with it – or maybe that's just me!
For many people, this is one of the most important points to consider. Nearly anything that you post on the web is visible to others. Just as the web has continued to grow and expand – thanks in large part to social media – so has the number of people who can access your information, at any time.
Whether it is pictures, messages, videos, or a post, you need to remember that any information you provide is no longer private; even if you delete it…nothing is every really deleted from the internet.
However, you should not let this thought scare you. If you are building your brand online, you will want – and need – to let people know who you and your company are, and why you matter. I just always tell my clients, that if you don't want the world to see something, then don't share it on the internet.
It's a golden rule to live by in your personal life and business.
Hey, a web designer telling you design is important? Well, duh!
The last thing customers want to see is a company that tries to build itself up without having a good design to do so.
Just think — would you want to browse a website that is disorganized and difficult to navigate?
Or how about a website that doesn't work on your phone or tablet?
I hate going to a website and not being able to find a simple way to contact the company. That happens a lot more times than you would think.
Once your design is made public, you should expect to have a large number of people viewing it, within a relatively short period of time.
When you (or your web designer) are putting your design together, remember that it should reflect what you want your brand image to say about your company. Not just look good, but does it comfy the feeling and vibe your company has.
Hiring a professional may not be necessary when designing your website, as there are a number of resources available, some of which are free. Keep in mind that using those resources can prove to be difficult and other people can use them too. So how authentic and original are you being when Sally Shoe's and Joe's Coffee is using the same website design.
No, we don't mean copy what they are doing. That wouldn't be cool.
Keep your company relevant and interesting by staying on top of the latest news, trends, or whatever else is most applicable to the type of work that you do. Subscribe to interesting twitter feeds, or set up a Google Alert that allows you to stay on top of the latest news and events in your industry.
Keeping your company interesting and fresh is one of the best ways to build your online brand. If you have the latest news, products, or media, why would your customers go anywhere else? Make this information accessible and visible, so that your customers can see these latest bits as well.
This is a rather simple tip, but it goes a long way. If you are setting up a website for Sally's Shoes, for example, you will want to incorporate the company name into the URL. It is much easier for customers to find and remember a web address like http://www.sallysshoes.com then it would be to remember Sally's Shoes website is http://www.comfyhipeverydayshoes.com unless of course you sell comfy hip everyday shoes and it makes sense.
Make sure it makes sense for what you are doing.
The above suggestions are just the start of building a successful brand online. But you have to start somewhere. Today is the day. There's no reason to put it off any longer because then it just becomes bigger than it needs to be. Start now!
Ah, New Year. Cleaning and freshening up is part of life, so why not clean up your outdated website while you are at it?
For many customers and potential customers, there is no bigger turn off than an outdated website. Whether it is a lack of fresh content, stale photos and videos, or a combination of the two, an outdated website can be more harmful than you think – especially if you are trying to attract new customers.
If you are guilty of letting your website slide while you focus on other aspects of your business, you are not alone (Hi, have we met?); however, now is the time to focus on your website! Get rid of any dated materials and give your website a fresh look with new content, links, media, and whatever else it might take to uphold your professional image. You do not have to completely overhaul your website to do this; just a few seemingly minor changes can be very effective.
Get rid of dated content. If you have a calendar, or an upcoming events and news page, there is a good chance that there is outdated material somewhere on your website. Start by updating your calendar, posting upcoming events, and sharing the latest company news, while taking down any information that is no longer relevant. By keeping outdated information on your website, for long stretches of time, visitors may begin to think that you are neglecting your own website or that you are no longer in business. EEK!
Update your copyright date. This small symbol may not seem like it is worth updating, but visitors will notice when it is outdated. It is a simple fix that can be done in a matter of minutes, and it will keep the website looking fresh.
Fix any broken links. For many visitors, there are not a lot of things more frustrating than going to a website with broken links. One broken link might not be a killer, but several broken links and your visitors are going to get the wrong impression, fast. Take a few minutes to browse through every link on your website, updating or removing any broken ones in the process, and adding newer, more relevant links if necessary.
Update your profile page. Your personal bio or company's "About Us" page is one of the first places visitors will go to, especially if they are searching for more information about you or your company. As your business continues to evolve and expand, so should your "About Us" page. Let visitors know about any recent company changes, and any significant upcoming events or opportunities. A good idea is to turn your web page into a story that is full of details – make sure those details will entice readers from beginning to end.
For many of us, updating our website can seem like a grand project; however, these small steps are things you can do to keep your website looking fresh within a matter of minutes. Who doesn't have time for that?
BONUS TIP! Add new testimonials. Fresh and updated testimonials are a super quick way to add new content to your site that is relevant to new potential customers. They'll be able to see the great work you are still doing.
Thinking about what to get that web designer in your life? We've rounded up 12 fun gift ideas that we would not mind find under the tree on Christmas morning.
Let's get our geek on, shall we?
365 Days of unique and interesting fonts…YES PLEASE! Every page has a new typeface to fawn over.
I'm hoping Santa brings me one of these!
This adorable pillow is 12×12 and made from fleece. Available from Craftsquatch on etsy. They also have pillows for Adobe Illustrator as well as a ton of social media ones. So cute!
Cookies? Letterpress? YES! How fun are these? This is a complete set of 26 letters, plus ampersand (sweeeet!) and exclamation point.
Check out this neat 3D alphabet cut out of poplar wood. Of course, the stoic Helvetica typeface makes this piece very classy and refined.
This is a set of 13 magnets that mimic the menus and toolbars in Photoshop. Great to hang photos on the fridge or magnet board. I love that they've included the dreaded "spinning beach ball of death".
I would definitely not mind seeing this wrapped under the tree. This is a beautiful and rich color wheel print that is printed on acid-free Hahnemuhle German Etching paper. The print size is 15.5″x21″ and is perfect for the office or studio.
Yeah. Need we say more?
This one is two games in one. Just like the old game we played as kids, match two like cards by flexing your memory muscle…or something like that. Plus, also try to figure out what brand is represented on the card, without their iconic brand symbol.
Net magazine is one of the most popular web designer publications. It's chock full of designy and geeky bits that any web designer will love. Available in both digital and print.
Perhaps not the most exciting gift to the average person, but when you're a web designer and trying to plan out your next responsive website, there's nothing like putting pencil to paper.
I don't know if I could love this one anymore. This fashionably geek pendant is made of white oak and has a beautiful natural wood finish. The .psd is the default file extension of Adobe Photoshop, which is the program web designers can be found in almost 24 hours a day. Chic and simple.


No, we are not promoting racism but why deliberately damage your radiant skin!
Treating sunburns is harder than preventing them. However, half of all U.S. adults aged 18 – 29 report experiencing at least one sunburn per year. To get rid of sunburn fast, immediately take a cool shower, treat the burn with aloe or a deep moisturizer, and keep your skin hydrated by drinking more water in the days that follow; use other home treatments, like cold compresses, moistened/cooled tea bags, and pain relievers, as needed to ease discomfort and promote healing. All sunburns cause damage to your skin, so you should also work on avoiding them in the future.
Upon realizing you are burned, get out of the sun immediately. Each second of additional sun exposure will worsen your burn. Going indoors is best. But if this is impossible move into the shadiest nearby spot.
Beach umbrellas provide little protection from UV rays unless they are very large and made of dense fabric.
Sun exposure to can occur even in the shade, as UV rays reflect off surfaces and penetrate through everything from clouds to leaves.
Take a cool shower or bath. The water will cool your skin and may help reduce the severity of your burn. Avoid using soap because it will irritate and dry out your skin. Afterward, let yourself air-dry. Using a towel may cause discomfort and chafing.
Apply an aloe vera gel or deep moisturizer. Spread it across your sunburn to moisturize and cool your skin. Repeat this step frequently, or at least twice daily, to reduce dryness and peeling.
Consider using a lotion or gel that contains Vitamin C and E, as this may reduce skin damage.
Avoid products that are oily or contain alcohol.
If you have access to an aloe vera plant, you can obtain gel straight from the leaves. Simply cut off a leaf, slice it length-wise with a knife, squeeze out the gel inside, and apply it to your burn.
Gel obtained directly from an aloe vera plant is extremely concentrated, natural, and effective.
Drink plenty of water. Prolonged sun exposure and heat cause dehydration. Sunburn also draws water to your skin's surface and away from the rest of your body. Remember to drink extra water for the next few days.
Go beyond the daily recommendation of eight glasses of water until your sunburn has healed, especially if you continue to be in hot weather or participate in sports or other activities that cause you to sweat.
Make a cold compress and apply it your sunburn. Wrap several ice cubes or a freezer pack in a wet cloth. Then lightly press the cloth against the sunburned area for 15 to 20 minutes multiple times a day.
Remember that ice or other frozen substances should not be pressed directly against your skin. Doing so may cause an ice-burn and only make matters worse.
Acetaminophen (Tylenol) may relieve the pain of a sunburn but does not have the same anti-inflammatory effects as ibuprofen.
Change into loose-fitting clothing. Avoid fabrics that are rough or itchy. For most people, light cotton is best.
Protect your sunburn by keeping it covered when you go outside. Wear a hat, carry a parasol, and wear fabrics that are tightly woven.
In addition, make sure you wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 and reapply ever two hours.
Close your blinds and try to lower the temperature of your home. If you have to air-condition, turn it on. Even without air-conditioning, fans can significantly reduce your body temperature, especially when they are blowing directly towards your sunburn.
Basements are the best places in a home to recover from sunburns, as they are generally cool and protected from sunlight.

Tony Bellew can claim to be Liverpool's greatest fighter ever ahead of John Conteh if he beats Oleksandr Usyk… but I'm afraid he won't
But it is a seemingly impossible task. Usky holds all four world cruiserweight belts and is a brutal boxer.
Conteh has reigned supreme as Merseyside's finest ever fighting man since he won the world light-heavyweight title in 1974 – eight years before Bellew was born.
I've always maintained Conteh, sits alongside Ken Buchanan and Joe Calzaghe, as the best Britain has produced in more than 50 years without fear of contradiction.
Bellew grew up hero worshipping Conteh, and said "I idolised him as a kid. In my eyes he is the greatest fighter this country has ever produced. What he means to me is hard to put into words."
Tony would have a much better chance of victory over Usyk if he could take Conteh in the ring with him – and John's 67!
Unbeaten Usyk, a world amateur and the London Olympic champion is considered pound-for-pound on the same exalted level as Terry Crawford, Canelo Alvarez, Gennady Golovkin and Vasyl Lomachenko.
It's no surprise that the outstandingly skilful, if unspectacular, Ukrainian has been installed as an overwhelming 9-1 0n favourite to take the WBC, WBA, IBF and WBO straps back home to Kiev.
That's the measure of the daunting task the mouthy belligerent Bellew is faced with.
But Tony has defied the odds on many occasions. Non more so than when he shocked the majority of the pundits by twice stopping heavyweight David Haye.
Bellew is often emotional but he's been a pro for eleven years and he has taken a far more pragmatic approach to this fight.
It's not the usual bombastic Bellew on this occasion. With admirable honesty he said "this guy is a better fighter than me and I have no problem saying that.
"He has faults but I have many more faults than him. But David Haye was a better fighter than me.
"The better fighter doesn't always win. Remember I'm the the little fat cruiserweight – write me off at your peril.
"I'm going up against the Monster – the man no one really wants to fight. the man just dismantles fighters and beats them easily.
"This is the ultimate test for me. There's no greater test than Usyk. I know this is the most dangerous fight of my life but I'm going into it with my eyes wide open.
"The whole world thinks I'm going to get smashed. Everbody is saying I will get beat-up quickly but we will find out won't we?"
Usyk, like his fellow Ukrainians, the Klitschko brothers and Lomachenko, has brilliant all-round technical skills and is very difficult to nail.
Because of a long and distinguished amateur career he didn't turn pro until he was 26 – just five years ago.
Tony realises when it comes to ability he can't win. But he is relying on being the more powerful puncher to encourage him to believe he can pull-off what would be an amazing upset victory.
