Lately I've been fascinated by code people put together to build widgets. I've always been curious about what makes things work. Widgets are fascinating. I was especially thrilled with this feed that highlights Canadian news.

It might be nice to be able to enhance it with a choice of countries for my INTL readers. I tinkered with it a bit, but still need to work at that part. If you'd like to tinker around and get your own unique look, Click HERE to go to their site.

How to Save on Property Taxes (ON Srs. & Persons with Disabilities)

There is nothing as sure as death & taxes, but there may be some relief in sight!
Property Tax Relief for Low-Income Seniors and Low-Income Persons with Disabilities: "Low-income seniors and low-income persons with disabilities who own residential property may be eligible to receive relief from property tax increases that resulted from assessment reform.

Under the Ontario Fair Assessment System (under section 373 of the Municipal Act), municipalities are required to defer or cancel property taxes or provide other relief in respect of tax increases resulting from assessment reform on residential properties owned by low-income seniors, low-income persons with disabilities, or their spouses.

Municipalities have the flexibility to determine the amount of tax relief and the form of relief, and they are responsible for determining who will be eligible for relief."

Ont. Online Certificate Application Center

Had a really frustrating time filling out the birth certificate application for Sneaky Pete. I'd get it almost finished, click next and a nasty message would pop up saying

"The online application is not available at this time. Please try later." Can a computer be sarcastic?  

I would have gone crazy if it hadn't been for my trusty RoboForm tool bar. RoboForm took the info  I  typed  into it, and plugged  it into the form  with a click of my  mouse. Always double check your forms. Oops! Must have typed something in the wrong space. 'Eensy weensy spider' is not my maiden name!

Keep Cool for Less Ca$h

Help for the hot! Click on the links in these tips for more info that will keep you and your space cool for less cash.

Your Space–Reducing the 2 H’s (Heat &Humidity)

Reduce Heat (Generated)

Besides the obvious- not running the furnace, dryer, oven, stove or dish drying cycle; reduce heat generated by other lights and appliances. Run your freezer and refrigerator more efficiently. It takes less electricity to chill a full freezer, so fill empty space with cardboard boxes. Refrigerators are the opposite; so keep lots of space around food to let the air circulate. Unplug your TV, computer and other electronics when not in use.

Reduce Heat (Entering)

Insulation isn’t just for winter. Make sure your space is sealed against heat and hot sun during the day. Hang your winter quilts on your windows for a homey touch and follow the 10 to 10 rule: Keep windows and doors shut as much as possible from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.

Reduce Humidity

If you can’t hang clothes outside to dry, take a tip from TV’s “Kim’s Rude Awakenings” – roll wet clothes in clean towels then do the “dance of joy” upon them, before hanging in a closed, room and blowing dry with a fan.

Periodically use your kitchen and bath fans to blow out humidity. Create a simple electric-free dehumidifier using road salt or silica gel.

Cool Your Space

Create an old-fashioned portable air-conditioner using a grounded fan, dish drainer, towel, and home-frozen ice blocks. If you’re feeling ambitious you might try setting up a gizmo I found plans for, which uses copper tubing. Cool the air where you need it and move your set-up from one room to another.

Keeping Your Cool

Take a dip or shower for free on the Tim Horton’s free swim days. Dry off, and then powder yourself with cornstarch from the bulk food store. Dress for the weather. Wear 100% light-coloured, natural fibres, they breathe better than polyester and reflect the sun’s rays. I’ve heard that some people stash a clean set of clothes in a plastic bag in their freezer. Take a tip from the folks "Down Under" and wear a cooling scarf. The cool, damp water cools the blood circulating through your body as it passes through the arteries in your neck. Keep shaded with a light hat and 100% UV sunglasses to prevent eye damage. Pack a picnic lunch and head for a cool public building (library, shopping mall, hospital). Try to stay indoors during peak UV periods (9 a.m. to 4 p.m.)(There’s a reason streets come alive late at night in Brazil.) Fill your hot water bottle with ice cubes and put it on summer duty in your bed. Pull a pillowcase out of the freezer, and drift off to dream of cooler days. Before you know it, winter will be here and we’ll be complaining about the cold.
