By Newley PurnellIn the 2000 film “The Beach,” Leonardo DiCaprio's character travels to Thailand, and, like countless backpackers before him, stays in a dingy guesthouse on Bangkok's legendary Khao San Road. But if the movie were shot today, Mr. DiCaprio would encounter not only rough-and-ready tattoo parlors and street vendors selling cheap banana pancakes, but also up-market amenities: a spa offering body wraps and salt scrubs, for instance, and, inevitably, a Starbucks.Visitors to Khao San Road “are more hi-so now,” says Pattamon Yaidaeng, invoking the local term for “high society.” She would know, having worked at the front desk of Buddy Lodge Hotel (265 Khao San Road; www.buddylodge.com) since it opened five years ago.

Why should pooches have to suffer with just a mat or rug on the floor while their owners are cuddling up in a posh bed with fluffy pillows and down-topped mattresses? Doesn't man's bet friend deserve some considerations?Now your pet can sleep in style, as well, with a number of upscale dog beds on the market. What kind of bed you should get for your pooch depends on their needs.If you have an older dog that's starting to creak and hurt in his old age, there are upscale dog beds designed to make them a little more comfortable. If you live in a colder climate that is uncomfortable for your pup, you can consider a heated pet bed that will keep their muscles and joint from tightening up. Another great upscale pet bed for older dogs is an orthopedic dog bed. Dogs are like people when it comes to old aching body parts as they age. A dog orthopedic bed has 8 or more inches of supporting foam, with a layer of fleece on the top for comfort, then a headrest pillow, so they can enjoy a great s

By Beverly Beyette Tribune Newspapers: Los Angeles TimesOctober 28, 2007So you've skied in St. Moritz, danced until daybreak at Carnival in Rio and shopped till you dropped in Tokyo's Ginza. Now you seek a real adventure.Bespoke travel may be in your future.Bespoke -- a fancy way of saying custom or tailor-made or independent -- is one of the fastest-growing segments of the travel industry, fueled by affluent, been-there-done-that travelers who wouldn't be caught dead on one of those board-the-buses tours.They want to float down the Ganges during a tribute to an Indian river goddess, take an early-morning alms walk with Laotian monks or come face to face with cannibals on the island of New Guinea.For a price -- as little as $300 per person per day (excluding airfare, but some of these travelers have private jets) or as much as $300,000 for a two-week dream journey for a family -- anything is possible."This has been an incredible growth area," says John Clifford, president of Intern

I had been hearing about Bella Luna for a while. I heard that is was independently owned, that it had a beautiful ambience and inventive upscale Italian cuisine but what really got me to go and check it out was that I heard they had a beautiful gargantuan Cassata – Sicilian wedding cake – with layers of sweetened ricotta cheese, white cake and candied fruits . I love a good Cassata and it was a night on one of these rare occasions that I was craving some pasta (mostly I am a really bad Italian, as I do not like eating lots of pasta) and in celebration of our pending nuptials that we decided to check out Bella Luna, celebrate a bit with my mom and see for ourselves!

A lot of companies (i.e. Petco, Petsmart, etc.) have beds for your dogs, but they are usually very cheaply made, and if you are anything like my wife then that will just simply not do.
Well there is a solution. There is a website called ohmydogsupplies.com that offers tons of upscale dog beds along with other miscellaneous dog accessories. In their bed selection they have some that look like couches and even some that are orthopedic beds.
The price for these beds ranges anywhere from $30 to over $275, depending how much you are willing to spend on your dog. So if you are a dog owner and you are looking for a decent bed, then OhMyDogSupplies.com is the place you need to go. You can also get your dog bed personalized if you want.
But, as I mentioned before, they have more than just dog beds. They also carry dog seat covers, bowls, elevated feeders, ramps, steps and much more. Also, they offer live chat for customers and if you register they will give you a 12% off coupon
Housingzone.com did an interesting piece on pre-fab housing. For those of us who take a snooty approach to pre-fab (and yes, I like the old historic homes better aesthetically), the article points out some reasons why the market for pre-fab is increasing.1. Fresh designs. To me that means more than just the look of the exterior. Think about how people use extra bedrooms for offices, dens, game rooms. Think about how a Great Room or Family Room off the kitchen has turned into a practical and desirable floor plan for families or those who love to entertain. The small parlour/living room combination has been transplanted with this style. Pre-fab homes are offering ways to meet these new needs and apparently the public is buying it.2. Designs that appeal to more upscale consumers. The old standard of a manufactured home only being a low to moderate income home design of lower quality does not hold true anymore. As one builder said in this article "....[perceptions] that are rooted in past
