Different Types of Wheels and Which is Right For You
We spend a lot of time in our vehicles – whether we’re commuting to work or school, travelling, or driving for pleasure, it’s important to know that you’ve got the right wheels for your use and weather conditions. It’s best for them to be professionally installed; torque and wheel wear are all things to be considered when having tires put on, and your dealer has the knowledge required to get it right. You’ll also want to consider wheel size, width, tread pattern, quality and name brand when trying to decide what tire to go with.
Remember that no tire is good for the entire season; shifting temperatures and road conditions call for different treads and composites, and a tire worn year round will wear down fast. In order to get optimum performance out of your vehicle, and to maximize the safety of you and your passengers, no matter what vehicle you drive, you’ll want season specific tires.
Summer Tires
As their name implies, these are the tires you should have installed for the fair weather seasons; they’re designed to withstand hot temperatures (and, in turn, hot paved roads) and wet conditions due to showers. Tread patterns on your summer tires are designed for water evacuation and to resist hydroplaning, so you have better control on wet roads.
Winter Tires
Most people will think it’s the treads that are the main difference between summer and winter tires, and the treads do definitely differ, but it’s the type of rubber used in winter tires that provides the biggest performance difference. Winter tires are designed to withstand freezing temperatures, and the rubber compound needs to stay soft when temperatures drop. The treads need to both grip the road (or bits in snow and ice) and are built with grooves to siphon away water and keep more tire in contact with the road.
All Season Tires
Some will say that all season tires just won’t make the cut, but all season tires can be a good choice for some people. Their tread is deeper than that of a summer tire, and they have a good balance of features designed to hold up during cold or hot months. Think of the all season as a jack of all trades, master of none. They will do a good job, but aren’t designed to excel at any particular road condition the way that your winter or summer specific tires will. Overall, their durability can be long lived, and they’re good for a wide variety of vehicles and for the average driver.
Studded Tires
Studded tires come equipped with small metal studs embedded in the tread to help your tire grip onto snow and ice on the road. The drawback is that they’re good for just these very limited conditions, but could damage roads (or your driveway) that aren’t covered during harsh winter months.
As of January 1st, 2016, all private insurance companies in Ontario were obligated to offer a discount to drivers that invest in a good set of winter tires (all 4 wheels must have them) for their vehicles. If you’ve invested in a set, check with your insurance company to ensure you’re getting the discounts you’re entitled to.
These aren’t the only things to think about when determining the best tires for your vehicle. Think first about the type of vehicle you own, as tires are built specifically with yours in mind. A truck, for example, requires a whole different set of parameters than a small sports car or family wagon. The way you drive is also impacted by the type of vehicle you own. The tires on a minivan hustling the kids back and forth to school and soccer practise won’t have the same wear as the sports car driven by a single trying to impress his or her friends by dropping the needle. Tires will likely last longer on a vehicle driven by a fixed income and financially savvy retiree than by a new driver in their first ever vehicle putting that little car through its paces.
Touring tires are great for comfort and are practical when it comes to an overall balance and dependability, while high-performance tires are better suited for a sports car or for those looking for better handling at higher speeds, especially when cornering. You might be looking for a light truck tire that helps to keep you out of sticky situations when off-roading, while if you drive an SUV an on-road tire with a high comfort level might be in your best interests.
The tread, width, tire quality as a whole, and rubber composition, of course, will all have an impact on how well your tire performs, and our professional team can help you to determine which will perform best for you and your family.

How to fix your blue screen errors in Windows
If you’re anything like me, a blue screen error can have you screaming for the nearest computer technician. Most of the time, we feel that any computer problem is way beyond our capabilities. The truth is, with a little patience and some know how, some of our blue screen errors can be addressed without having to call in the cavalry. Try these troubleshooting tips to both help fix common blue screen errors, and take some preventative measures to help stop problems before they start.
Driver issues and faulty or outdated apps are often at the root of this type of problem. Your first step with solving these issues is to close down any open program on your desktop. Check to make sure that you have the most updated version of malware installed. If not, update before proceeding, and if you’ve already got the most recent version, run it now. Once that has been completed, disconnect from your internet, and restart your computer. Start tapping the F8 key, and, using your arrow keys, select the Safe Mode when the Advanced Windows Boot Option Menu shows up. Back in your malware program, run a complete system scan. You’ll want to quarantine or delete the threats that the malware program locates.
A clean computer registry is critical for keeping your system running smoothly and error free. It your registry has been compromised, you’ll need to clean it up using registry maintenance software. This clean up should be done on a regular basis to help keep your computer running at top capacity. You can find free registry software online.
If you have never cleaned up or updated programs and applications, you’ll want to take the time to do that as well. Look in your Control Panel and find Programs and Features. Once there, you can either remove programs that you don’t use anymore or update with a newer version. If you enable your automatic update, then the computer can keep tabs for itself in future on all Windows updates once they’re released and will automatically install them for you.
Here are some tips to prevent future problems and threats:
- Steer clear from third party drivers, as the use of these can lead you down the road of messy computer errors.
- Install a firewall to help stop threats in their tracks and avoid viruses
- Before installing any and all new software, be sure you actually read and understand the End User License Agreement. If you’re not sure, ask for help, either from a friend or from a professional.
- Always scan emails before opening and reading.
- Only download software, apps, files and programs from sources that you trust.
- When in doubt, stay away from the website.
- Always ensure that you scan an external device before attaching it to your computer or laptop.
- Always ensure that your anti malware is the most recent version and that you use it regularly
With these tips, you should be able to tackle the toughest blue screen error.

Creating a safe nursery room
Designing a nursery room can be an exciting time for new parents, and the options for fun and stylish rooms are endless. Most parents will be focused on color, furniture layout and choosing just the right personal touches. Safety can play second fiddle, so when you’re in the throes of design excitement, here are a few things to keep in mind.
Safety Standards
It can be fun to refurbish old, antique furniture for a baby’s room. Maybe you’ve got some pieces that have been handed down and hold personal value, but they may simply not be the safest option for your new little family member. Safety standards have changed and antiques or retro cribs and furniture aren’t likely going to make the cut. Crib slat spacing and hook-on mattress supports may pose an entrapment hazard, bassinet sides may not meet current height requirements, and even the paint may be a cause for concern due to lead content. It’s not just changing safety standards, some products that were popular in your childhood may even be banned as is the case with walkers. Don’t despair – sometimes pieces can be salvaged and brought up to code with some changes. Just do your research and plan accordingly. Also keep in mind that, while extra pillows and comforters look cute, they can present their own safety hazards for babies and young children. Keep your design simple and hold off on bedding frills at least for the first year.
Windows
Window dressings can be just the thing that ties a nursery together, but sometimes blinds can present us with another set of safety challenges. Numerous deaths could have been prevented if cords had been properly set out of reach, or sometimes avoided all together (cordless valances, shades, or curtains are great options). Furniture placement can also be detrimental. If located too close to a window, furniture can present an opportunity for a young child to climb, and screens won’t provide any type of failsafe. It’s best to keep windows clear of any furniture or toy bins.
Furniture
Heavy furniture should be bolted to the wall even if your child doesn’t show signs (yet!) of being an industrious climber. Even a light bookshelf, when loaded with stories or decor, can present enough of a danger that it’s best to make sure there’s no risk of having it fall over. And it’s not just bookshelves that pose a tipping hazard; any chest, dresser or storage unit over 30 inches tall should be secured to the wall. Most new furniture includes anti-tip straps and many hardware stores carry lines of straps, bolts and plates with exactly this type of use in mind.
Details
Outlet plugs are a must, and it’s best to tape rugs to the floor to prevent slips and falls. Keep change table necessities well out of reach (oils, powders, creams); cosmetics and personal care products are the most common forms of poisons ingested by children under age 6. When looking for wall decor, search for pictures that are lightweight and not easily breakable. It’s a great idea to hang simple, frameless pictures or prints on canvas and avoid dangers of heavy falling items or glass breakage.
Your baby’s nursery can certainly be the gem of the household. A bit of forethought will ensure a safe and stylish room in which to share time with your child.

5 Healthy Foods to Control Migraines
Just about anything can cause a migraine, including weather changes, strong odors, stress, loss of sleep, fluctuations in estrogen levels, and certain foods and drinks. Making a point of eating foods that control migraines while avoiding the foods that trigger them may reduce the number—and intensity—of headaches you get.
1. Fruits, Vegetables, and Legumes
Fruits, vegetables, and legumes all contain plant estrogens that blunt the negative effects of the estrogen our bodies naturally make. This may be particularly helpful for women who get migraines with their periods—which may be due to a sudden drop in estrogen. The reasoning goes, the higher your overall estrogen level is, to begin with, the farther it can fall during the drop. The fiber in these migraine fighting foods helps by removing excess estrogen from the body along with waste, so it’s not recycled back into your bloodstream.
Another major plus of these foods: They’re low in fat. When you eat less fat, your body makes less estrogen!
Aim for: Getting the recommended 7 to 10 daily servings of fruit and vegetables.
2. Fatty Fish
You know it as heart-healthy fare, but salmon and other fatty fish (like mackerel, trout, and herring) just may help control migraines, too. These fish are rich sources of the omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA.
Some preliminary research on these anti-inflammatory compounds done at the University of Cincinnati showed that when they were taken in supplement form, they appeared to reduce the frequency and severity of migraines in some people over the course of six weeks.
Aim for: The University of Cincinnati study used capsules containing 300 mg of EPA and DHA and 700 mg of other oils. Four 125-gram servings of fatty fish a week would provide about the same amount of the beneficial fish oils used in the study.
3. Coffee
Although caffeine may trigger migraines in some people, when a migraine strikes, a few cups of coffee do help relieve the pain. Caffeine is so effective at helping to shrink swollen blood vessels in the brain, it’s one of the key ingredients (together with acetaminophen and aspirin) in over-the-counter migraine medicines.
Aim for: A cup or two when a migraine hits.
4. Ginger
Research shows that this warming spice contains some potent compounds that are similar to the ones in non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. It may work against migraines by blocking inflammatory substances called prostaglandins. Ginger hasn’t been rigorously tested for headache relief, but even if it doesn’t control migraines, it should help relieve nausea that often comes with them.
Aim for: There’s no recommended dose, but you might start using powdered or fresh ginger liberally in cooking or ordering dishes flavored with ginger when dining out. Or when a migraine strikes, mix in a few teaspoons of powdered ginger in a glass of water and drink it every few hours to help alleviate the pain. You can also suck on dried ginger candy!
5. Magnesium-Rich Foods
Whole grains, beans, and leafy dark green vegetables are all high in magnesium, which research shows is often deficient in people who get migraines. Low levels of magnesium are thought to make the brain extra sensitive to migraine triggers.
Aim for: The recommended daily amount of magnesium is 310 to 320 mg for women and 400 to 420 mg for men. Aim for 400 to 700 mg daily to help control migraines if you’re truly deficient. Roasted pumpkin seeds are among the richest sources of magnesium, with about 151 mg for every 30 grams. Brazil nuts (107 mg per 30 g) and almonds (78 mg per 30 g) are good sources too. You can also try halibut, which contains 91 mg in a 90-gram portion.

How to Save Your Laptop After a Spill
How to save a laptop computer after a spill:
1. Switch the laptop off.
Shut down the laptop. Pressing and holding the power button for five seconds is quickest. Remove the power cord, unplug any peripherals and remove the battery. The biggest danger at this time is the device shorting out.
2. Remove excess liquid from the laptop.
Blot up excess liquid with a soft lint-free cloth or paper towels. Do not use a wiping motion as that just spreads the liquid further.
3. Turn the laptop over.
With the laptop facing away from you, tilt it from side to side and from front to back in a gentle rocking motion to help the liquid to escape from all four sides.
4. Use compressed air to dry the laptop.
Make sure that you have removed all excess liquid. Then, if you have one, use a can of compressed air to help dry the laptop. Alternatively, use a hair dryer on its coolest setting: keep the dry moving all the time and hold it at least 20cm above the laptop.
5. Leave laptop to completely dry out.
Leave the laptop opened in an inverted “V” shape in a warm area, to completely dry out. Do not leave it in direct sunlight or on a radiator. Wait for 24 hours or longer, making sure the keyboard is completely dry, before reinstalling the battery and peripherals.
If you must replace your laptop keyboard:
Most laptop keyboards can be replaced by a technician, or you can purchase a new USB or wireless keyboard to use with the laptop.

11 Things to Do with Coat Hangers
Stop caulk-tube ooze
To prevent caulk from oozing from the tube once the job is done, cut a 7.5-centimetre piece of coat hanger wire; shape one end into a hook and insert the other, straight end into the tube. Now you can easily pull out the stopper as needed.
Secure a soldering iron
Keeping a hot soldering iron from rolling away and burning something on your workbench is a real problem. To solve this, just twist a wire coat hanger into a holder for the iron to rest in. To make the holder, simply bend an ordinary coat hanger in half to form a large “V.” Then bend each half in half so that the entire piece is shaped like a “W.”
Extend your reach
Can’t reach that utensil that has fallen behind the refrigerator or stove? Try straightening a wire coat hanger (except for the hook at the end), and use it to fish for the object.
Make a giant bubble wand
Kids will love to make giant bubbles with a homemade bubble wand fashioned from a wire coat hanger. Shape the hanger into a hoop with a handle and dip it into a bucket filled with 1 part liquid dishwashing detergent in 2 parts water. Add a few drops of food colouring to make the bubbles more visible.
Create arts and crafts
Make mobiles for the kids’ room using wire coat hangers; paint them in bright colours. Or use hangers to make wings and other accessories for costumes.
Unclog toilets and vacuum cleaners
If your toilet is clogged by a foreign object, fish out the culprit with a straightened wire coat hanger. Use a straightened hanger to unclog a jammed vacuum cleaner hose.
Make a mini-greenhouse
To convert a window box into a mini-greenhouse, bend three or four lengths of coat hanger wire into U’s and place the ends into the soil. Punch small holes in a dry-cleaning bag and wrap it around the box before putting it back in the window.
Hang a plant
Wrap a straightened wire coat hanger around a 15- to 20-centimetre flowerpot, just below the lip; twist it back on itself to secure it, then hang.
Make plant markers
Need some waterproof marks for your outdoor plants? Cut up little signs from a milk jug or similar rigid but easy-to-cut plastic. Write the name of the plant with an indelible marker. Cut short stakes from wire hangers. Make two small slits in each marker and pass the wire stakes through the slits. Neither rain nor sprinkler will obscure your signs.
Make a paint can holder
When you are up on a ladder painting your house, one hand is holding while the other is painting. How do you hold the paint can? Grab a pair of wire snips and cut the hook plus 2.5 centimeters of wire from a wire hanger. Use a pair of pliers to twist the hook and wire firmly around the handle of your paint can. Now you have a handy hanger.
Light a hard-to-reach pilot light
The pilot light has gone out the way inside your stove or furnace. You’d rather not risk a burn by lighting a match and sticking your hand all the way in there. Instead, open up a wire hanger and tape the match to one end. Strike the match and use the hanger to reach the pilot.

How to Get Your Kids to Brush and Floss
It’s a struggle familiar to many parents: getting children to brush their teeth and floss them, too. Here’s how to get them going.
When it comes to dental care, many children give the task the brush off. They just don’t brush and floss often enough, properly or willingly, say dentists. And parents can use improper tactics to get results. “Some get their kids to brush by bribing them with candy-completely counter-productive,” says Dr. Sarah Hulland, a Calgary pediatric dentist. Consider these strategies instead.
Start Brushing Early
Brushing and flossing should be a habit, not something you have to force kids to do. So start the habit early. Even before children have teeth, parents should wipe their gums, using a clean face cloth, gauze or a finger-worn brush. It lets children know that cleaning their mouth is part of a routine.
Show Them the Way
Before school age (even after for many kids) children likely aren’t brushing or flossing well, says Hulland: “They lack the consciousness and coordination to do a good job.” They’ll brush along the biting surface, for instance, but not where the teeth meet the gum. At this stage, parents need to brush their child’s teeth or do it with them (i.e. your hand over the child’s). The same with flossing, which should start as soon as there’s no space between the baby teeth. Another way to motivate them: Let children watch you brush and floss too (you can even do it at the same time) to remind them of its importance and the proper technique.
Set Goals
Use a chart to track your child’s brushing and flossing, and reward them for a good week or month. It’s a visible reminder of an expected task, provides a positive incentive and gives children a sense of responsibility, says Dr. Gary Elman, a Toronto dentist.
Make it Fun
Some accessories-toothbrushes with a favorite cartoon character or those play songs, power brushes, floss wands, fun flavored toothpaste can make caring for teeth less of a chore. Just ensure that the brush head is small enough to reach the corners of your child’s mouth.
Stay on Top
As kids get older and wash up by themselves, don’t just assume that they’ve developed good brushing and flossing habits. Check if their toothbrush is wet or if the toothpaste and floss are running lower. If not, try incentives again. Or if you really want to see results, jokes Dr. Hulland, offer to brush and floss their teeth just like when they were a toddler that will get any teen moving quickly.

3 Reasons Your Kids Need More Free Play
The benefits of free play
Think that six-year-old jumping in puddles is wasting time that would be better spent practising piano? Not really, it turns out. Since the late 1970s, research has illustrated a relationship between play and a multitude of useful skills. Studies show that less-structured activities (playing with sand, dress-up or doodling, say) are linked to improved cognitive functions, such as literacy and problem-solving skills, in kids.
Although scheduled activities like piano lessons can provide valuable learning opportunities, parents and caregivers shouldn’t underestimate the power of free play. In 2014, Frontiers in Psychology reported that children who spent more time playing freely became better at setting and reaching goals than those who mainly engaged in structured activities, such as sports.
“Kids need unstructured time for cognitive, social and creative development,” says Dr. William Ammons, a clinical psychologist in Bowmanville, Ont., who works with young people. He explains that, when children are given a task to perform, they focus on a goal. Those who are given free rein must develop skills to test limits, make decisions and practise social skills. “Kids need time for quiet reflection and purposelessness, which isn’t about putting a ball in a net,” says Ammons.
1. Free play helps kids build life skills
Children are playful by nature, so they don’t need a lot to get their imaginations going. Something as simple as a piece of fabric can lead to the invention of role-playing games that support psychological development. By learning to listen, take turns and share ideas, kids in free play are doing more than just pretending to be wizards or astronauts. Rather, they are experimenting with putting themselves in others’ shoes, thereby developing empathy and personal awareness that will serve them into their grown-up years. The experience can enrich their understanding of both the world and who they are.
Even parents who find their kids neglecting school work to mess around with games and toys should feel reassured. According to Ken Gardner, a psychologist and co-director of the Rocky Mountain Play Therapy Institute in Calgary, research increasingly shows that richer play opportunities go hand in hand with literary development. “By Grade 3, the ability to play is a better predictor of future academic success than current academic success is,” he says.
2. Free play helps kids tap into emotions
Play can have mental-health benefits, too. At Rocky Mountain, therapists use play to help children work out problems and heal from trauma. Kids who might have trouble communicating their experiences with words can employ toys, art supplies, music and movement to express themselves instead. While most of what kids do is based in language, play helps them communicate in other ways.
“Through play, children can better understand and regulate their emotions,” Gardner says. “It is used in a self-healing way. Those who act out experiences gain a sense of control of their lives.”
It turns out free play is just as important to kids’ development as structured activities like piano lessons and organized sports. Here are three of the most significant benefits of unstructured play.
3. Free play builds healthy relationships
There’s value in ensuring kids have their own time to explore, but when caregivers are involved, the experience is even more powerful. Playing together makes children feel special and promotes bonding and communication.
Grown-ups should resist the urge to turn playtime into a school lesson, Gardner warns. “Instead, follow the child so you can be attuned and sensitive to [their needs] and strengthen your relationship.”
Is your child having difficulty making friends? Here are more ideas on how parents can help their kids’ social development.

Debunking Myths About Getting The Flu Shot {Plus A Giveaway!}
I often hear people justify not getting a flu shot by saying something like, “I got the shot and STILL got a nasty stomach bug”! The problem with that logic, of course, is that the 24 hour stomach bug that seems to go around each year is not the flu, and neither is the common cold. We definitely hear a lot of different myths when it comes to getting your flu shot and I thought I would take some time to squash a few of them right now!
Myth #1 – The flu vaccine gives you the flu.
FALSE. Flu vaccinations delivered via a needle are either made with an ‘inactivated’ flu virus that’s not infectious or with no flu virus at all.
Myth #2 – You don’t need to get the flu vaccine every year.
FALSE. Almost half of Canadians (46%) say they aren’t concerned about spreading the flu to others, and the same amount say they aren’t getting vaccinated this year. But pharmacists warn Canadians – “Don’t Miss Out!”. In order to best protect yourself from the flu you need to be vaccinated annually and Canadians can drop in to their local Shoppers Drug Mart any time of day no appointment necessary to get vaccinated this season. Furthermore, the CDC recommends a yearly flu vaccine for just about everyone 6 months and older, even when the viruses the vaccine protects against have not changed from the previous season.
Myth #3 – You should wait until the height of flu season to get vaccinated so you’re protected for longer.
FALSE. While it’s never too late to get vaccinated, it’s best to receive your flu shot soon after it’s available, likely October. The antibodies delivered via the flu vaccine that protect you against infection take up to two weeks to take effect, and since the flu peaks between December to February it’s important to get vaccinated early so you don’t miss out on those March break plans!
Myth #4 – Pregnant women need to get consent from their doctor prior to receiving the flu vaccine.
FALSE. There is no recommendation for pregnant women to seek consent from their doctor prior to vaccination. However, there are some people who should seek their doctors’ advice prior to being vaccinated, including those who have a moderate to severe illness and patients with a history of Guillain-Barre Syndrome.
Those are just a few of the misconceptions associated with the flu shot but there are many more. If you have questions regarding the flu shot, your best course of action is to stop in to your local Shoppers Drug Mart and ask to speak to the pharmacist on duty. They will be able to bust any myths and calm any concerns you might have and give you your flu shot at the same time!.
Shoppers Drug Mart Giveaway!
Alright, for being such great readers and for considering Shoppers Drug Mart for your flu shot needs, I am giving away a Cold & Flu Prize Pack which includes a $100 gift card from Shoppers Drug Mart! This should get you through any sniffles you may come across during flu season and prevent you from having to reuse tissues… This giveaway is open to residents of Canada, excluding Quebec.
Disclosure: I was compensated for my participation in this program, which I am taking part in because I believe in the flu shot.

How to furnish the perfect bedroom
Furnish The Perfect Bedroom
Your bedroom should be a place of solace; somewhere you enjoy spending time and can go to relax and unwind after the pressures of your day. Are you starting a design from scratch? Maybe you’re looking to redecorate to make your space more personal and more to your taste? Whatever your reason, take a peek below at some of the things you’ll want to consider to make the design process easier and more fun!
1.Theme
Are you designing with a theme in mind? Sometimes this can actually make the design process a little easier since it gives you a starting point. It may even facilitate the “flow” that you want to achieve since you’re going to be able to immediately veto items that don’t fall into the theme of the room. Your starting point after the theme is to choose a color palette that will bring the whole room together and display the general mood you’re trying to create.
2.Decor and wall color
Your wall color should fit the theme if there is one, but make sure it suits your personality and decor too. Think about the moods some colors impart and how they reflect the overall feeling you want from the room. Yellow, for example, can add a zing to your room for happy mornings, but might make falling asleep more difficult. If you’re crafty, try your hand at making some decor to personalize your space. Add meaningful pictures that suit and add those little details that tie a room together and make it entirely yours.
3.Plan ahead
Your design process will be far easier if you take the time to sketch out a plan of the room and the furniture placement within it. You can do this with a simple pad of paper and pencil (it’s better to use something that you can erase instead of having to scrap the whole project for a simple mistake or change of mind), with a board and “blocks” for your furniture, or even with an online design tool. Experiment with the placement and see what works best. Remember to show a close approximate when it comes to size – if your real life bed will take up about 10% of your bedroom space, make sure your sketch reflects that. You’ll get a more realistic view of what the final result will look like.
4.The basics
It goes without saying that every bedroom needs a bed, but what else do most rooms contain as standard furniture? A bedside table (on either side if you’ve got anything bigger than a twin), table lamps and at least one dresser round out the must-have pieces. Some rooms can accommodate more; a lingerie or jewellery chest, or an oval mirror & stand can make beautiful additions.
If you’re looking for furniture, let our professional and knowledgeable staff help guide you towards the pieces that will take your bedroom from good to great. Over 85% of our furniture is top quality, Canadian made!
