Christmas can be an expensive time of year. Not only do we have to fork out for impressive gifts for our friends and family but if you’re anything like me then you’ll have to host a party that will rival Sydney Harbours New Year’s fireworks display. Last year I ended up spending a fortune on my credit card just for food and drink for a Christmas Eve get together so this year I started planning early. After advice from a friend I signed up to a few daily deals websites that offered a range of discounted products and have so far saved a fortune.
From unique Christmas gifts to restaurant vouchers, I even bought an overnight stay at a hotel in Melbourne for half price. Daily deals websites are brilliant for the bargain hunter and you don’t even have to put that much effort in. There is an abundance of sites on the internet so with one easy click you can sign up and they email you promotions every day so you can choose which ones you are interested in. (more…)

Daily Exercise
Increasing the amount of daily physical activity is a key ingredient to long term health and weight management. Every person should engage in moderate to high exercise for 30 minutes a day. Having said this, it is important to note that the goal of increased physical activity does not necessarily represent an hour of exercise and sweat a day. Adding physical activity to daily life can be as easy as walking the dog or taking the stairs.
Recent studies indicate that many of the same health benefits can be realized for those choosing to divide the recommended 30 minutes of exercise each day into smaller chunks. This is great news for those who find it difficult to fit a 30 minute stretch of exercise into daily life. A couple of 15 minute, brisk walks twice a day can easily be incorporated into daily life, and the health benefits are proven.
Useful suggestions to add physical activity into daily life include:
- Take the stairs instead of the elevator
- Walk to the store
- Walk home from work
- Park at the far end of the parking lot
- Go for a walk during lunch hour
- Actively play with your kids
- Walk the dog
- Wash your own car
- Ride a stationary bike while watching TV
- Rake the leaves
- Work in the garden
- Clean the house

A tough but pioneering treatment is showing promising results for patients with advanced kidney cancer, staff at Christie Hospital Manchester have said.
The hospital is spearheading a specialist immunotherapy treatment which uses the body’s immune system to fight cancer cells. Latest research shows that 25% of patients treated with high doses of Interleukin-2 are now in remission. Professor Robert Hawkins said patients were carefully selected. One of the patients on the seven year trial, Heidi Morter, 40, was planning her funeral after the cancer spread to her lungs and liver from her kidneys, before being offered the drug.

BAISHAZHEN, China — The elderly rice farmer was leading three outsiders into an illegal quarry to show them the gangster-run mine that has poisoned his village’s fields and streams.
Suddenly, a blue Hyundai sport utility vehicle sped up to them in a cloud of red dust. A Toyota pickup pulled up behind, its windows tinted too dark to see how many people might be inside.
“Shove off!” the Hyundai driver screamed at the old man and his visitors, who included an American reporter. “We’re going to carve all of you up, slaughter all of you and burn your car!”
The stooped farmer, Song Zuokai, 81, grunted and began shuffling out of the quarry with his jittery guests.
Such threats are all too common in this region of southern China, long plagued by gangsters who illegally mine some of the world’s most sought-after industrial metals. The gangs reap profits that can rival drug money, while leaving pollution and violence in their wake.
What is new are efforts by China’s national and provincial governments to crack down on the illegal mines, to which local authorities have long turned a blind eye. The efforts coincide with a decision by Beijing to reduce legal exports as well, including an announcement by China’s commerce ministry on Tuesday that export quotas for all rare earth metals will be 35 percent lower in the early months of next year than in the first half of this year.

Everyone has had a disaster in the kitchen at one time or another. Even the most experienced cook can be distracted and add too much salt, forget to set the timer, or omit a crucial ingredient. This advice will help you fix disasters and prevent them from happening in the first place.
I thought it was time to write this article because of a kitchen disaster that happened to me! I had promised friends some Pecan Pie Bars for their open house and was trying a new recipe (note to self: follow your own advice and don’t try a new recipe at a crucial time!!). The recipe seemed perfect, went together well, smelled terrific, and came out of the oven looking delicious. I let the bars cool, then pulled out a platter and cut the bars to arrange them. And discovered that the bottom crust had disappeared during baking, and instead of a two crust bar, they consisted of a crunchy topping over pecan pie filling. It was very difficult getting the bars out of the pan, and when I put them on the platter they stuck. And they pulled in half when I tried taking them off the platter. I was ready to chuck the whole thing when the solution came to me. I just turned the bars upside down so the crunchy top was the new bottom crust and sprinkled toasted pecans over the new top (former bottom). They were a smash! (more…)

i my self are a t-shirt entrepreneur and wanna share how to make a t-shirt so i search about how to make a t-shirt at madehow, they explained how to make t-shirt clearly and very complete. check this out
Background
T-shirts are durable, versatile garments with mass appeal that may be worn as outerwear or underwear. Since their creation in 1920, T-shirts have evolved into a two-billion dollar market. T-shirts are available in a variety of colors, patterns, and styles, such as the standard crew neck and V-neck, as well as tank tops and scoop necks. T-shirt sleeves may be short or long, capped, yoked, or raglan. Additional features include pockets and decorative trim. T-shirts are also popular garments on which to display one’s interests, tastes, and affiliations using customized screen prints or heat transfers. Printed shirts may feature political slogans, humor, art, sports, as well as famous people and places. T-shirts are also inexpensive promotional vehicles for products and special events.
T-shirts fit just about anyone in any size, from infants to seniors. Adult sizes are generally small, medium, large, and extra-large, while sizes for toddlers are detennined by month and weight. In addition, to compensate for the larger heads of infants relative to their bodies, shirts are specially designed with shoulder openings that may be fastened with buttons or snaps.
Raw Material
The majority of T-shirts are made of 100% cotton, polyester, or a cotton/polyester blend. Environmentally conscious manufacturers may use organically grown cotton and natural dyes. Stretchable T-shirts are made of knit fabrics, especially jerseys, rib knits, and interlock rib knits, which consist of two ribbed fabrics that are joined together. Jerseys are most frequently used since they are versatile, comfortable, and relatively inexpensive. They also are a popular material for applying screen prints and heat transfers. Some jerseys come in tubular form, simplifying the production process by reducing the number of seams. Rib knit fabrics are often used when a snugger fit is desired. Many higher quality T-shirts are made of durable interlock rib knit fabrics. (more…)

An inventor with a penchant for explosives has designed a set of rockets in the shape of a giant box of crayons.
John Coker has always enjoyed building things that explode and after a friend mentioned that his creations looked like Crayola crayons he started building the crayon-shaped rockets.
Mr Coker started building the colourful rockets in 1998 as one of his first projects.
John Coker in Nevada’s Black Rock desert where he tested his crayon rockets
Lift-off: Mr Coker’s rockets are launched, but only four of the eight take off
Work resumed in August 2004, and more than six years later, the project was finally completed.
He recently headed out to Nevada’s Black Rock desert to test them out.
Based on the small eight-pack of crayons, the three-and-a-half foot long rockets were launched from a box designed to look like the classic yellow and green Crayola box.
But, despite looking like child’s play, the mission was only a partial success with just four of the eight rockets blasting into the sky.
Inexplicably, the green, brown, yellow and orange crayons remained in the box.
Of the four rockets that went off, the violet crayon was found with a broken fin.The other three were found without major damage.
The wacky inventor stands proudly with his rockets
Inexplicably, the green, brown, yellow and orange crayons remained in the box
Mr Coker has hinted that he will test the crayon-shaped rockets again.
Mr Coker said: ‘I used to enjoy building rockets when I was a kid, but after a 20-year absence I found a much-expanded hobby with much larger, more exciting and more dangerous rockets for bigger boys.
‘Since a friend pointed out that my rockets looked like a crayon, I’ve had the idea in back of my mind to build a crayon rocket.
‘Not just a crayon rocket, but a pack of Crayola crayon rockets.
‘On the day, the crayons went pretty high and we think they got to 2928 feet.
‘This was a great project and the flight was a crowd pleaser. It was a shame that only four of the rockets flew.’
It would seem the rockets are a one-off and given the length of time it took Mr Coker to make one pack, you can see why.
Preparing for launch: Mr Coker makes final adjustments to the project he started in 1998
