Forward Facing Bookshelves
Oscar loves books (Almost as much as I love a good Ikea hack.) Every night he goes around his room picking up book after book and putting them on our lap to read. We know that it is likely a stall tactic, not wanting to go to bed, but we can't help but find it really cute. Over the last week I made some forward facing bookshelves out of Ikea Spice Racks for his room. I simply sprayed them white and ta-da! They were done. The two shelves hide behind his door in his room and he can now pick out his own as the shelves are at his height.

Crazy Fist HD
Permainan ini cukup menarik ketika dimainkan. Kita hanya harus melewati berbagai tembok dengan cara menghancurkannya atau melompatinya.
Semakin jauh levelnya akan semakin cepat pula permainannya.
Tapi yang cukup membuat saya kesal adalah kita diharuskan mengulang dari stage awal lagi apabila mati di stage 2 atau 3.
Ya sudah download aja gamenya nih. :-)

Our Dining Room Table is home for....
On the heels of the last post, our Dining Room table has been a hangout for a number of frames and art waiting to find a home on our walls.
Previously all the frames were in hiding spots, but in an act of desperation to get some colour on the walls, I pulled them all out and placed the growing collection on the table. I thought maybe seeing them all together will help me come up with a vision. Not yet. But getting there. ;)

Ikea Frames Up...Art next
Well, we're closer to having art....We finally hung some frames in our living room. Since January we debated hanging 1 huge print [see post] but in the end, I liked the idea of having the relief and having 2 frames. I'm trying to figure out what to put in them. What I do know is the Ikea matting is coming out and I'm going to cut a new mat. [I find Ikea matting is yellow] Hopefully I'll tackle that this week. xo Lindsay

1 smoke but 2 exausts, No smokes?? WHATAHELL??
Ok, Another FAQ
Following the previous post about RHD cars, another tutorial, now to solve the problem with smoke and exhaust
Cars with 2 exhaust but only 1 have smoke or car with 1 exhaust but there are two places smoke coming out, or sometimes doesnt have smoke
How to solve?
It is solved just by changing the values handling
Repeating what is in previous post, I recommend you to use the Value That Are in the Read-me.txt
But if you want to use your own handling-line or the original from GTA-SA These steps follow:
Easier to make it, you must download Editeur Handling GTA San Andreas v2.0 or another editor of your choice.
After downloading and installing the program, open the Handling Editor
Go to File → Open → Find the Handling.CFG on "GTA-SA Install Directory\data" → Voiture (Cars) → Liste des Véhicules (Vehicles List) → and look for a car with this problem (MOD) → tab Flags de véhicule [(af) modelFlags!!!] → Autres
If the car has only one escape, uncheck DOUBLE_EXHAUST
If the car has two exhaust check the DOUBLE_EXHAUST
If the car does not smoke out the exhaust uncheck NO_EXHAUST
If you do not want the car to smoke out a check the NO_EXHAUST (the nitrous work normally)
No effects on Driving, Acceleration, Top Speed, Drift, Rally, Grip, LM etc. etc.

Right Hand Drive Cars - CJ doesnt get in the car, how to solve?
This tutorial is for anyone who is having trouble with RHD cars as Japs, Aussie etc. (The character does nothing when it is commanded to enter the vehicle)
This problem can be solved in the following ways:
[There may be other ways to solve this problem (Cleo Scripts, ASI, Programs, etc.) but I am not aware of any for now.]
Jump to a point right on the roof and use a command to enter
If this don't help, you must change the Handling of the car (I recommend you to use the values that are in the Read-Me.txt)
But if you wanna use your own handling-line or the original from GTA-SA follow these steps:
To make it easier, you must download Editeur Handling GTA San Andreas v2.0 or another editor of your choice.
After downloading and installing the program, open the Handling EditorFile → Open → Find the Handling.CFG on "GTA-SA Install Directory\data"
Go to Voiture (Cars) → Liste des véhicules (Vehicles List) → and look for a car that is RHD (MOD)
here I'll change the handling of the Infernus, because I use an NSX-R in his place.
In "Position conducteur (Position Driver / (aa) fSeatOffsetDistance value) change the value to something between 1.20 ~ 1.25 (I always use these values and so far, had no problems)
Save your changes and close the editor if you want to.
Now open the GTA-SA to test.
Find the car you want and try to enter it normally like any other car
For SA-MP you have some alternatives, such as:
Use a program that gives to you the possibility use handling modified on MP, if you don't want to modify the handling you can try to go to the roof of car and enter as explained above. Some people are against making changes to the handling, but I believe that only changing the driver position will not cause any effect on acceleration, top speed, handling, drift, or anything else other than the driver being on the right side of the car.
Now if you don't want go to the car roof and enter so little to change the handling then go to this SITE and search for a car that best meets your needs
sorry for any grammatical mistake, english don't is my main language.

Mini Me Table
Seeing as no Ikea product is safe from hacking in our house, I stained it the same colour as our desk, Walnut, but it soaked in really well so turned out a bit darker. And, originally I was going to paint the top blue like in this post but I realized he will be banging the table with his trains/toys/spill juice and that table top if it was painted would get chipped/stained. So, it's staying as is. Plus, it looks like a "mini me" table beside our Dining table in our [work in progress] dining room.
In other news, check out my post on my obsession with Chevrons over on Style at Home, and my feature over on The Hip Urban Girl's Guide website , I was their "Hip + Urban Girl of the week". [don't laugh, I do think I'm exceptionally hip. ;) ]

Work / Life Balance?
Before Oscar I used to work all the time. I could work until 3am and be happy. But when the little guy arrived, things obviously changed and for the last year I've been trying to find a work/life balance. We need my income, but also I am lucky to absolutely adore my job so finding time to work is a pleasure for me. It is also my "alone" time. I set aside certain times to work to make sure it doesn't impact this...
He's at the age where he's fully interacting and we play in the living room making forts (or, take them down)
But, my determination for work life balance hasn't been easy, in fact I've been working away at it for a year. I set up ground rules about my work schedule - and although it helped me gain somewhat of a work/life balance, I did loose a corporate client recently who prior to Oscar, didn't have to deal with me having set office hours. They preferred my 7 day a week availability and and my new set office hours of 3 office days, weren't agreeable to them.
I was kind of bummed about the whole thing - for a little bit I felt like a bit of a failure not being able to handle it all - surely other people worked ALL the time and had kids? It was a fleeting moment, however, as I knew to be a good Mom, and a good business person, I needed to have boundaries. I saw this post on the Work Life Balance Project over on Design Mom. I loved # 4 where she writes 4) Multi-tasking creates poor results. Do one thing at a time and do it well.
This was my ah-ha moment. After reading this I removed all work e-mail accounts from my blackberry. A small thing but already has positively impacted my life. No longer am I standing there making lunch for Oscar, just "checking" to see if anyone needs me. Responding to a customer while I'm making lunch for Oscar results in a poor response to my customer and Oscar, is not getting my full attention.
Anyhow, really this was all stemmed from reading the post on Design Mom and wanting to share it with you - I think it's a nice, clear list of how she juggles it all. I'm trying myself, a few balls are dropping, but I'm hoping to have it all figured out one day.
