Fashionable leather wristbands
The word wristbands can be used to refer to the encircling stripes that are worn on the wrist. Leather wristbands & bracelets started to come into popularity about 3 or 4 years ago. Celebrities started to wear them. Slowly, the general population started to wear them a little. Soon, they become no longer an accessory that was gothic or extreme, the more conservative leather wristbands and bracelets were becoming common among people with many different fashion tastes.
There are many manufacturers who favor leather wristbands over silicon wristbands. Leather is a very long-lasting material. It does not go out of shape or break that easily. It can be stored for a few years. These types of wristbands are always rounded and won’t turn oval. It has great feel. It is not like those wristbands which turn itchy after wearing it.
Leather cuff watches are a related accessory to leather wristbands. Cuff watches are leather band watches with wide leather bands, usually about 1.5-3 inches wide. About 3 years ago, there were about 100 cuff watches available for sale on ebay. As their popularity increased over the last 3 years, there are now over 3500 cuff watches available for sale on ebay.
Leather wristbands, have become a fashion necessity these days. Nowadays, there are many celebrities with all kinds of different fashion tastes who wear them. Leather band is an accessory that has gone from having an extreme or punk stigma, to being completely necessary to mainstream fashion.
Leather wrist accessories are no longer popular with just men. Women are wearing them almost as much as the men now. There are women's leather cuff watches and leather bracelets available in most clothing stores now.
There are many different kinds of leather bands available in stores now. For women, colored leather or suede bracelets and watch bands are popular. For men, it is popular for the bands to be a little wider, 2 inches or more. With a leather wristband or cuff watch band, it is popular now for the band to have a lot of texture, layers of leather, stitching or weaving.
Also, it has become quite popular for people to have their initials, name or a phrase engraved into the leather. There are many places available online that can do that now.
Three years ago, leather wrist accessories became available online with a much better selection than what was available in most retail stores. The retail stores had quite a delay before they figured out what people really wanted in a leather band.
I spotted the leather wristband and cuff trend about 3 years ago and could see the online selections keeping pace with the demand, but it took about another year or two before the retail stores started to come out with what the customers were really looking for in a leather band. In my opinion, most retail stores are still working on figuring out what is popular. I don't think they have quite figured it out yet. I think the selection for leather bands is much better online than what is available in retail stores
A leather wristband has a timeless and graceful look, but is less durable and should not be taken into the water. Avoid oversized straps and faces, and colored faces (white, black or off white is best).

Tree Climbing Harnesses
How can I safely let my cat outside?
My cat is constantly wanting outside, she will sit at the door and meow, and climb on the screen (which is not allowed) if we are outside. We have been letting her out when we are outside, but yesturday she ran up a tree. I don't know whether I can let her out again for fear that the next time she will get to a place that we cannot reach her. Does anyone have any suggestions on how we can safely let her outside? We have tried the leash/harness thing and she just gets scared and somehow gets it tightened up on herself.
Almost any cat can get down from a tree when it wants to. We have let our cats outside all the time in good weather for the last 25 years, with little or no problems.
Do this:
Don't feed the cat until it's hungry. When you do feet the cat, tap the dish a few times with a spoon or fork. The cat will quickly associate that sound with food.
Don't feed the cat for several hours before you let her out. When you do let her out (maybe when you get home from work), go outside with her for the first few times. She will appreciate the security. When it's time to bring her back in, tap the dish with a spoon or fork. Odds are, she'll come running. Unless your cat is half-feral, she will need to come home for regular meals. And I haven't seen many cats that will forego regular meals very often.
Unless you live next to a busy road, or you've got animals nearby that will target your cats (and ('m talking big dogs, feral cats, raccoons, foxes, coyotes, etc) you can let a cat out in the yard safely. Yes, cats CAN live longer lives if they are indoor all the time. But if you've got one that makes this much racket to get outside, you may be wondering if this will go on for the next 10 years.
Let the cat outside.

Odd Eating in Bangkok
The unusual thing about food in Bangkok is not that the city has a huge variety of excellent restaurants serving every imaginable cuisine, as this is to be expected from such a huge metropolis, it is the quality of the everyday food served at the stalls on every street corner. In a food-obsessed country where people greet each other with the question “have you eaten rice yet?†it is difficult to find a bad meal unless you walk into Burger King or McDonalds. In marked contrast to other southeast Asian capitals, notably Manila and Jakarta, the average every-day food of Bangkok and of Thailand in general is clean, cheap and arguably the tastiest in southeast Asia. A less laudable thing is that, outside the luxury establishments, restaurant waiters tend to have short memories. For example, what could be simpler than fulfilling your order for a glass of coke with ice? Even this simple task is beyond some of the waiters, who will forget your drink, then forget to bring you the ice you asked for, twice, and then forget to bring you your bill, after being reminded. But there’s no point in getting angry, as this will only make things worse: the best you can do is to maybe embarrass the waiter into better performance by, with a large if sardonic smile on your face, questioning whether his problem is with his brain or his ears.
Only the most avidly curious or impecunious of travelers ever snack on chicken feet or try the deep fried bugs that are sold out of barrows all round Bangkok. For a better feed, try the Royal Dragon restaurant, listed in the Guiness Book of records as the world’s biggest, which has a waiter who flies around supported by a cable and harness.
For a gourmet meal out the visitor is spoiled for choice. If you take a dinner cruise along the Chao Phraya River, book one of the better ones for an under-cover table, musical serenade and waiter service(x). Alternatively dine at one of the many superb and atmospheric riverside restaurants, one of the best of which is Supatra River House, which overlooks the Grand Palace and stages theatre performances every Friday and Saturday. For an unforgettable meal, non-residents as well as residents can catch the Oriental hotel’s ferry across the river to its riverside dinner pavilion, where their meal will be accompanied by maybe the best dinner-show in town. The Author's Wing at the Oriental Hotel is an elegant if formal place to ‘take tea’ – just don’t forget to keep the little finger of your cup-holding hand off the cup. Biscotti at the Four Seasons Hotel is known for its Italian fare and Le Vendome for French haute cuisine. Madison at the Four Seasons Hotel, an American steakhouse with an improbable-looking but real fire place, serves Wagyu, Kobe and Matsuzaka beef. Taihei @ Banyan Tree has good city views and is one of the city’s best Japanese eateries. Sirocco, with the highest outdoor balcony of any restaurant in Bangkok, offers Mediterranean fare and live jazz performances. Cy’an at the Metropolitan Hotel is a cool place to enjoy Mediterranean-style meals on the open-air veranda fringing the pool. Novel French gourmet food can be sampled, or maybe even gorged on, at D’Sens at the Dusit Thani Hotel. Redefining room service, the Bed Supper Club offers ‘dining in bed’ as well as an up-market club, a stage, a theatre, a restaurant and an art gallery: this is an in-place where guests are expected to be rich if not beautiful, so if you are no longer such an oil painting, maybe take your bankbook along to prove you’re rich enough to qualify for entry.

My Cat is Missing!!!! HOW CAN I GET HER BACK?!?!?
she is 7 monthes old, we were about to get her spayed in two weeks
shes been missing for two days and two nights
shes micrchipped
has a harness on
loves tree climbing]
weve done so much, call the mcirochip company, searched, put up posters, left out food, called vet clinics
is there anything else that we can do?!!?!?
Cats will hide, especially during the day. You should go out on foot often, especially at night - use a flashlight to look for the reflection of your cat's eyes. Call out for your cat. Meow if she responds to that.
Look low, look high. Check all of the nearby trees and roofs. Consider the possibility that your cat found shelter in an open garage or shed, which may now be closed. Check along all nearby roadways. Look under parked cars, in gardens, under bushes. Some buildings have open crawl spaces accessible from outside...look for these under your home and nearby buildings.
Call your local animal control. Go there and search. Ask to see the DOA list (animals found dead). They may have her, or know who does. Some only hold animals for 5 days before euthanasia, so check there every couple of days until you've found her.
Call your local non-emergency police number. See if they have any reports.
Call and then stop by at all of the shelters, ASPCA, Humane Societies, and cat rescues in and around your area. Most take lost and found reports. Cat rescues can be found on Petfinders and in the pets section of your local newspaper classifieds.
Call all of the veterinarians in your area, including your own. Email or bring flyers with her picture. Ask if they will post, or allow you to post in the clinic.
Go to your post office. Ask for the name of your carrier on your route. Ask if you can give the carrier a flyer, so they can keep an eye out for your cat.
Take a friend and visit your neighbors and nearby businesses, and deliver a flyer to every one near you.
Post flyers, use huge, clear lettering. Should say LOST - Female Cat wearing harness please call xxx-xxxx.
Put them on power poles/street poles at every intersection near your house, and every major intersection within a mile. You should be able to read them clearly from a car, or truck.
If you have any pet or feed stores nearby - find out if you can post flyers there...if not post them on the road nearby.
Check on-line. Search on your city/town, lost or found persians. If you're in the US, check the lost and found at www.craigslist.com, and petfinders.
Since your cat was microchipped, you need to contact your vet and the chip manufacturer, to make sure your info is up-to-date, and see if anyone has scanned your cat.
Best of luck to you!

Chiang Mai Adventure Sports
In addition to possessing a full range of accommodation options and being Thailand’s premier arts centre, Chiang Mai is, arguably along with Ao Nang in Krabi province, one of Thailand’s two most exciting adventure sports destinations. There is at least something for everyone here, whether it be trekking to the top of Thailand highest peak, nearby Doi Inthanon, mountain biking, off-road motor-biking, mountain biking, waterfall and deep cave abseiling, off-road buggying, 4wd, rock-climbing, micro-lighting, white water or bamboo rafting, canopy zip wire riding, paint-balling, elephant trekking, go-karting, a night safari and bungee-jumping. If not in the mood for adventure, maybe take a relaxing river cruise instead.
Check out the ‘X-Centre’ for paintball, bungee jumping and go-karting and for off-road motor-biking and buggying. Those visitors rash enough to ask for a discount will be pleasantly surprised when the centre’s irrepressibly facetious Kiwi owner Ian smiles hugely and immediately agrees, then with a completely straight face states that the amount of discount available depends on the amount of reduction in the safety standards you agree to: if you only want a small discount on the bungee price then the centre will use last year’s retired rope, but a larger discount is available if you don’t mind using the even older rope currently in occasional use as a rescue tow-rope. Ian has never had to explain that he is only joking. When you have been roped up and are ready to ascend the tower, don’t be worried when the jump master says “hope see you again, maybe next life†– he knows your friends will find it funny, even if you don’t.
The off-road buggying is particularly memorable and is a world away from the often dull experience offered by most of the many ATV outfits in the country. Visitors are recommended to skip ATV rides which consist of multiple circuits round a fixed track and to go instead for ATV rides on long routes through the jungle. The X-Centre’s off-road biking and buggying tracks vary from very easy to extremely difficult, particularly in the rainy season, when the tracks become mud-slides. Caucasians after a quicker colour change than is available on the beach are advised to put their feet down 20 metres in advance of the muddy patches in order to ensure their maximum coverage in mud.
If you get particularly muddy after your extreme off-road session then why not wash off the extreme way, by bungee-ing head-first into the centre’s lake?
For one of Thailand’s most authentic adventures, ask Ian for a price on a 4wd, buggy or motorbike off-road trip up to Pai. Those visitors with more money than maturity can alternatively request one of the daftest of all days out, zooming around the mountains in off-road buggies while being attacked by flour-bomb-throwing micro-light pilots and defending themselves with paintball guns. Anybody childish enough to want to do this is requested to please email us, here at ‘Good Read Guidebooks’, so that we can come out and play, too.
Or maybe you fancy a vertiginous zip-ride on steel cables through the jungle canopy. Chiang Mai’s newest day-trip, the ‘Flight of the Gibbon’, is very well-equipped with all the most modern safety equipment: it’s just a pity that the staff don’t yet know how to use it. The day-trip starts with a stiff hike to the top of a seven-level waterfall, after which the visitor takes a rest in a little hut, where there are a free drink and towel on offer next to a large natural pool. Don’t assume that these are bathing towels and jump in for a swim though, as you’ll look a bit daft trying to dry yourself off with a herbal face towel afterwards.
The tour continues with a 2 kilometre ride on a series of eleven steel cables through the canopy. You put a harness on, to the front of which is attached, via a short length of stout cord, a steel pully. This will ride on top of the steel cables. Then a karabiner, again via a length of cord, is attached to your harness. This should be attached to a safety line whenever you are not attached to a zip-line cable via your pully. The safety drill should go like this: when you are about to transfer from a safety cable to a zip-line, the attendant first attaches the pully to the cable and then unclips the karabiner from the safety line.
Unfortunately at one of the tree-top stations the attendant got confused and unclipped me from my safety line before clipping me on to the zip-line. For a few seconds I was completely unprotected, 30 metres above the forest floor. This was bad enough, but there was worse to come. I am small and, when I zipped down the cable, I didn’t build up enough momentum to take me to the platform at the far end of the zip-line. I stopped a few metres short of it and then ran backwards on the pully, until I was stranded under the middle of the zip-line, with no way forwards or backwards. I wasn’t unduly worried, as I was sure the attendant would know what to do. Unfortunately he didn’t. He grabbed a bag with a rope inside, attached himself to the cable and zipped down to where I hung. He then spent the next twenty minutes unsuccessfully attempting to rescue me. This wouldn’t have been so bad, as I knew I wasn’t in danger, but the harness started to really hurt after a while. They aren’t designed to sit in for ages and I started getting worried about deep vein thrombosis or blood clots. As I sat there in pain I comforted myself that at least it couldn’t get any worse. Then it started to rain. Hard tropical rain that soaked me in moments - I felt like I was being bombarding with gravel. I had heard that in a storm zip-wires can become dangerous, as they attract lightning, so that at the first hint of an electrical storm parties must descend at once. Well, I plainly couldn’t go anywhere, as my rescuer and I were now both stranded. He had made two mistakes. Firstly he had not attached an end of the rope to the tree before he left it. Secondly he had not checked the state of the rope: it turned out to be hopelessly knotted. After a while my failed rescuer and I were rescued by a real rescuer. The rest of the tour was great. I have never hung about in the treetops before and I found it to be an extremely beautiful place to spend time. The rain forest’s bigger trees are especially beautiful when viewed from up there.

Growing Flowers for Beauty and Cutting
Imagine a never ending supply of beautiful flowers for your home, bouquets and arrangements to give to friends, flowers to pluck at will for gifts, get well visits, anniversaries and birthdays. By planting a garden stocked with flowers that happily give up their blooms for your pleasure, you can have fresh flower arrangements in every room in your home all throughout the spring and summer.
To create your own flower garden, start with a sunny spot in your yard. A garden spot that gets 6 to 8 hours of direct sun a day is ideal. It should be within easy reach for watering, since a cut flower garden will need daily watering during any dry spells. You'll also want to design it to make it easy for you to reach all the flowers in it, so a raised bed that can be approached on four sides is perfect. If you decide to plant against a fence or as a border, make sure that you can get to all the plants without stepping on others by putting in footpaths or trenches for walking.
The best way to start your garden is with bulbs planted in the autumn. Daffodils and tulips are among the most popular spring bouquet flowers. By getting them in the ground in the autumn, you'll be able to start cutting early in the spring.
Naturalized bulbs look beautiful in a wooded setting. You can plant them and leave them to multiply. After the bulbs bloom the foliage will die down, but you can intersperse bulbs with ground covers and other perennials for a carefree and beautiful garden. For a natural look you should arrange your bulbs informally. If you toss them and plant them where they land, with small adjustments for spacing, it'll look much better than if you arrange them.
Perennials are the basic flowers for any garden. Each year they die and renew themselves for the next growing season. They are long-lived and last for many seasons. Perennials are also, historically, among our oldest plants. They have been cultivated for centuries and often, as a result of breeding and crossbreeding, bear no resemblance to their wild forebears. In some of the perennials, the blossoms have become so specialized through centuries of cultivation that they no longer grow 'seeds.
Annuals are also of use as a filler between shrubs set some distance apart. This permits the shrub to grow, yet prevents too stark an appearance. The sowing of annuals, of course, depends upon the class to which they belong. The hardier flowers, such as larkspur, poppies and cornflowers, can be profitably planted in late fall. The ground preparation must be just as careful as for spring planting.
Flowers can add a perfume as well as a visual aspect to your outdoor area. You may choose climbing plants that flower each year. These will take several years to reach their full potential but once they do they will create climbing plants of color on a gazebo, a fence or even up the side of a house. If you are looking for a variety that will provide lots of color, try the blue trumpet vine. This climbing plant blooms from autumn through summer and has bright blue flowers on a twining stem.
There are a number of ways to solve the problems of short-flowering periods and the resultant unsightly spaces. One way is to intersperse perennials with annuals and other bulbs and flowering plants whose bloom occurs either later or earlier than that of the perennials. Some perennials are easy to transplant: chrysanthemums, for example, can be moved from one place to another with no noticeable effect on their vigor. This is another way to keep color and bloom throughout the growing season. A garden of perennials, either by themselves or mixed with annuals and other bulbs, should be placed along a path, or as a border, with a background of trees, shrubs, a wall or fence.
The background shows the brilliant coloring to best advantage. Some varieties can flourish in the shade, such as anemone, lily of the valley, day lilies, sweet pea, primrose, hollyhock, harebell and peonies, but these flowers must be chosen carefully and faced so that some sun reaches them every day.
Roses are an entire subject of their own, but they deserve special mention when discussing cut flower gardens. Rambling and climbing varieties of roses are especially suited to cut flower gardens, putting out masses of blooms and responding to cutting with even more flowers. Trail a rambling rose along a wooden fence rail and you'll have sweet smelling roses for your bedroom dresser all summer long.
Bleeding Hearts - heart shaped, pink to rose flowers needing moist soil and partially shaded location.
Chrysanthemums - single, semi-double, and double flowers in all colors but blue. They need moist well drained soil and full sun location.
Crocus - blooms in early spring, though there are varieties that bloom through autumn
Delphiniums - very tall flowers of many colors, though, mostly blue needing moist, well drained soil and full sun location.
Geraniums - easy to grow flowers of many colors needing mostly any soil type and full sun or partial shade location.
Giant Flowering Onion - grows 3 to 4 feet tall, with huge purple blooms. Great as a back border in a cut flower garden. Blossoms from mid-spring through early summer
Hosta - showy flowers with bright foliage from 4 inches to 3 feet. They need moist well-drained soil and, partial to deep shady location.
Hyacinth - tall clusters of blossoms that are stunning in arrangements. Pink, blue, purple and white, they grow up to 12 inches tall. Bloom in early to midsummer from fall planting.
Lupine - large spiked 3 to 4 foot tall flowers of many colors needing a cool location.
Phlox - soft pastel flowers, some with a contrasting center, ranging from low lying to tall flowers needing moist soil and full sun or partial shade location.
Rudbeckia - yellow, daisy like flowers with contrasting centers needing any soil type and full sun location.
Windflower - also known as anemone, with daisy like deep pink and white flowers, booms through midsummer
Early in the spring, you can start planting gladiolus. These huge, showy blooms are a mainstay of cut flower arrangements, and come in just about every color imaginable. Gladiolus bulbs can be planted as early as two weeks before the last frost. If you plant a new set of gladiolus every two weeks, you'll have cut flowers from early summer all the way through the first frost.
In early spring, you can also plant your annuals. Snapdragons, cosmos and zinnias all bloom at different times during the summer, which will extend your bouquet season into the fall. Don't forget to include filler flowers in your cut flower garden. Foliage grasses and flowers like alyssum, baby's breath, and Queen Ann's Lace can fill spaces in your bouquets and add a lacy, delicate touch to a vase full of flowers.
These simple bits of advice can keep your garden in glorious bloom all summer long.
