What products, supplies, and gear do you need to get your child safely and happily from his first to his second birthday? We know, of course, that you want to give him the world – and your love and patience can get him partway there. But there are a few other basics you'll want to provide as well.Toddler clothingYour child is both easier and harder to dress at this stage. Easier because he may raise his arms for you wound when you pull off his shirt; harder because he's often squirming when you do it. So look for comfortable, loose-fitting clothes that are easy to get on and off. Avoid clothes you have to button – buttons require time and patience – and look for speedy snaps and zippers instead. Now that your child iscrawling,walking, and exploring, durability is important. You needclothesthat hold up well to repeated messes and washings. Which brings us to another point: Get machine-washable clothes. Believe it or not, there are baby clothes that require dry cleaning. You d

Despite her sensible shoes, her granite-stern features reveal a constant, low-level strain. She is well past 50â€"perhaps well past 60. Her arms sag under the weight of her burden; each tray she carries threatens to be her last. But when she breaks into a rare smile, her face lights up with unguarded delight. Her name is Annelies, and she, not Mozart, nor Beethoven, nor even Empress Sissi, has come to embody Vienna for me. Annelies works as a waitress at Café Sperl, on Gumpendorfer Strasse. The Sperl has become my base, Annelies my anchor. I have arrived in Vienna with phone a simple plan: to live as local a life as possible. Instead of discovering this famously imperial city from the comforts and security of a hotel, with an attentive staff to stand behind me, I’ve decided to plunge in on my own terms and rent an apartmentâ€"and not in the city center I know to be the heart of tourism, but in one of the outer, more “local” districts. I have always found that the

Now that you have your new kitchen cabinets, you are ready to move on to the next big step.....Installing your kitchen cabinets. While the actual installation of the Kitchen Cabinets isn'tall that hard, the critical first step is measuring and marking out where the cabinets will go. By placing layout markings on the walls and floors, it will not only help you with kitchen cabinet placement and stud locations, but it will also help you locate where adjustments and shims will be required. Before we get started there are a couple of items that you will need for the project: Pencil Level or Laser Level Drill Tape Measure Stud Finder Clamps 1" x 3" Piece of lumber (6'-8' in length) or an Inverted U-shaped frame (see notes below) Shims Screws (long enough to go metal 1 1/2 into the studs) Utility knife or chisel Marking Compass An extra set of hands (you may have to bribe one of your friends) As I mentioned above, you have the option of using a piece of 1' x 3'

Going out of town for the holidays? Traffic, blizzards or spending a long weekend with your crazy uncle may put a damper on the holiday cheer, but in your haste to come home make sure you're not transporting six-legged souvenirs: bed bugs. A decade ago bed bugs were still the vermin of lore--blood-sucking creepy-crawlies laid to waste by the amazingly effective (and toxic) pesticide DDT. These pesky insects have made quite the stateside comeback lately. This year bed bug outbreaks have been reported everywhere from homes to office buildings, hotels, stores, schools and hospitals. No less than former president Bill Clinton's Manhattan offices suffered an outbreak. Video: The Best Defense Against Bed Bugs Although casting the exact cause remains a mystery, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency chalk up the resurgence of these tiny terrors to "increased resistance of bed bugs to available pesticides, greater interna

Do you really want a kayak? Want one so bad you can taste it, but can't afford one, or think you don't have the skills to build one? Then I have a few questions for you. Can you cut a crusty bagel with a knife, stack blocks, stick a sandwich together with mayo, skewer meat and veggies for kabobs, grate cheese, cut thin fabric with scissors, stretch wrinkles out of bed sheets, and roll paint onto a wall? Then you can build this boat! Unlike most boat seal plans that require you to do a whole bunch of reading and learning, require you to buy or own lots of tools and learn what seems like a whole new language devoted to boat building. I designed this boat, and wrote this I'ble, to be as simple as possible. You don't need any boat building books, or much in the way of tools. You can find everything you need to build this boat at hardware stores, the internet, and discount stores. When you are done, you will be a real boat builder, and have an excellent boat to show for it
