Is it time to deal with . . . ?

Is it time to deal with a bunch of the little things that are bugging you? Are there too many loose edges hanging out? Remember, mosquitoes ruin safaris.

Men’s wear retailers still offer Boxing Day bargains


At Mark James Clothing, Boxing Day discounting actually began about two weeks before

fake oakleys Christmas and those 30 to 50 per cent off prices will persist until the store’s spring line arrives early in the new year.


Assistant store manager Jeremy Johnson said there are still great deals available and more to come, with the store planning a New

oakley sunglasses replica Year’s Day sale this week.


"We were a little earlier with our discounting this year because of the retail market and all the competition out there," he said. "As soon as one person [discounts], you have to follow because you don’t want to be left

fake oakleys behind."


Harry Rosen area manager Wes Purdie said suit hungry patrons who avoided his Pacific Centre store on Boxing Day missed a four hour promotion that took $150 off the price of any suit, whether it was on sale or not.


But discounts of up to 50 per cent are still available, with the best selection available over the next seven to 10 days.


"After that, your options become limited, but the level of savings will be the same," Purdie said.


Despite the economic slowdown, he said Boxing Week sales at Harry Rosen were similar to last year’s "exceptional" sales, with bad winter weather creating a strong late December demand for outer wear and "fashion and function" rubber footwear.


Purdie expects the rush of post Christmas bargain hunters will ease off when students go back to school next week.


"Once people get back to their regular routine, that’s when consumer traffic starts to slow down." he said.


Hill’s of Kerrisdale director of operations Christine Sim said the store’s Boxing Day sale included a one day

fake oakley sunglasses cheap promotion where items not already on a permanent markdown were discounted by 20 per cent.


But savings of 20 to 50 per cent are still available on many items for the near future.


"It’s still a good time to buy and we’re basically on sale until we clear our fall and winter merchandise," Sim said.


Vancouver retail consultant David Ian Gray said if you’re an average sized person, you may not find what you want if you wait too long to avoid holiday season shopping crowds.


"If you buy clothing off the rack and wait until the crowds go away, you may miss out on

fake oakleys sizing," he said. "You’ll see lots of smalls and extra larges left, but

cheap oakley sunglasses not so many mediums."


Gray said deep, Boxing Day like discounting began

oakley sunglasses discount early this year because retailers feared they could get caught with too much unsold inventory in a slowing economy.


"New retailers are reluctant to discount things, but if it’s a fashion related product and you don’t sell it now, you won’t sell it in four months," he said.Articles Connexes:

All the rest of the weekend mail


Recently read an article in the NYT and thought of you! Yes, it was the one detailing the situation where, because it became apparent the Knicks had to quote Sports Editor Jason Stallman

cheap oakley sunglasses wholesale "already given up on the season", an editorial decision was made by the paper to reassign the Knicks’ beat reporter. So, Scott Cacciola is now covering other basketball stories,

fake cheap oakleys some of which are suggested by readers and involve everything from high school to college to elementary school to a bunch of

cheap oakleys guys playing hoops at the Y.


So, and while we know from reading here (!!!!), misery and missteps can produce wonderfully entertaining pieces (and yesterday’s Five Guys was HILARIOUS!!!!) is there a point where readers (and reporters perhaps) need a break from doom and gloom and disappointment and angst? Was it ever considered at The Star to take a break from beat reporting on the Raptors? Would you have welcomed it (see the 16 66 season) or even suggested it? Any other ‘high profile’ teams ever ‘reassign’ their beat reporter before?


Arriving at a question. Is it just me or has Amir seemed to have gotten old in a hurry this season? I love what he’s brought to the team over the years. Many talk about his less obvious contributions that fans might

oakley sunglasses replica not appreciate, his role on defense etc. But I don’t recall seeing him turn his ankles every 5 or 6 games this year like he seemed to in previous seasons. and nonetheless his play much of this year has seemed to be . well. off. He seems to stumble and fall to the floor as he rolls to the basket with the ball semi regularly. There are occasional flashes of higher energy in games, but they seem much more fleeting. Do you agree?


Made the trip to Detroit, two rows behind the Raptors bench awesome view and got to see Coach Casey at work. On one occasion after Greivis committed a foul after the Raptors tied it up Coach Casey pointed at his own head while telling Greivis to use his head. Coach Casey is always talking about playing 46 to 48 minutes and I think that this in itself is the problem. I believe the

fake oakleys Raptors players think that there is always time to put together the effort to win. I think Coach Casey should break it down

cheap oakleys into four 12 minute quarters, and break that down into four 3 minute efforts. They need to play with the intensity to win those efforts. As I watch this team and any professional sport I came to the realization that it all breaks down to "half step" a half step behind or a half step ahead is the difference of an open look, a blow by or a foul being committed. In the big picture a half step and the effort to be on the right side of it translates to wins and losses. I wonder how much a person

oakleys sunglasses can do to get the guys to buy into that part of the mental game. It really seems to be as simple of that, and that is what makes

cheap replica oakleys for championship teams.Articles Connexes:

Sandy Victims Still Waiting For Build It Back Funding to Return Home


A Queens family that was displaced by Hurricane Sandy is still waiting on help from a city program to return home, two and a half years after the storm. NY1’s Ruschell Boone filed this report.


It may look like things are back to normal on West 13th

fake oakleys Street, but it isn’t for families like the O’Hares, long after Hurricane sandy.


Susan O’Hare shares this tiny Glendale apartment with her husband and 11 year old twins. They

replica oakleys thought they would be back home by now, with help from the city’s build it back program they’re not close to returning.


"It’s been a nightmare," O’Hare says.


O’Hare says she spent nearly $70,000 in emergency repairs to shore up the home, but the city says

wholesale oakleys she will not be reimbursed because according to federal guidelines the work was not done within a year of the storm. O’Hare says she didn’t make the one year window because of delays in getting city approval for the work. Now, the homeowner says she’s been getting the runaround in applying for Build it Back money to complete the rebuilding. The city, she says, keeps questioning a number of things including her expenses and identity.


"I sent them their very own affidavit. Signed and notarized," O’Hare says.


O’Hare says she’s now out of money and patience because the process appears to be at a standstill.


The city

fake oakley wholesale claims the O’Hares are being helped, but they wanted options that were outside the program. The couple denied that saying they have been getting the runaround.


"It just seems like it’s been an endless supply, endless stream of meetings, that go nowhere and the documentation that we submitted

cheap oakleys is denied or rejected for some technicality," O’Hare says.


A Built It Back spokeswoman sidestepped questions about O’Hare’s home but said the program has improved since Mayor Bill de Blasio took office, declaring: "We committing to ensuring that every homeowner gets the relief they need, and are building on this recent progress by dramatically expanding

fake oakley sunglasses design and construction capacity."


O’Hare says she has yet another meeting with program officials this week. She says she cannot speak for other storm tossed families but that she is not where she wants to be in her home with her family.Articles Connexes:
