Is everybody ready for back to school? I always find the first week absolutely exhausting. It takes a few days to get back into the routine of early bedtimes and 6 AM wake-ups.
To accommodate all you back to school shoppers, N2N will be open until 8 PM each night through August 6.
Here at N2N we've been busy busy busy putting out great fall fashions- come on in to get the jump on cool weather wear. There are name brands for the most discriminating of 'tweens and teens--and LOTS of hoodies which seems to be the gotta have item for this fall.
Our ladies' department is full to overflowing and we suddenly have a gracious plenty of shoes (hallelujah!)
We're justifiable proud of our inventory and it just keeps getting better and better. Come on over and take a look!

Surviving the Stores
If you only save one coupon and freebie site, make sure it's Surviving the Stores. It's the most comprehensive and well organized site of it's kind that I've seen in a long time. I'm especially impressed with the restaurant coupon section. You can also sign up to get email, Twitter and Facebook updates.
And while we're talking coupons...
A few months ago, a printable coupon for a free box of Velveeta cheese circulated through in boxes all over the Internet. It looked legit but it was actually a fraud, leading to lots of embarrassing encounters at the check-out counter. Now there's a way to verify those printable coupons. Click here to go to Veri-Fi. Just type in the code printed on the coupon and it'll tell you if it's kosher or not.
You probably did it as a kid. It's simple and it's fun. Click here to create a work of art by uploading a photo and turning it into a connect-the-dots masterpiece. Then you can send it to your friends and ask them to solve it...
Stressbusters
Feeling stressed? Honey, aren't we all? iVillage Health has a surprisingly no-nonsense slide show on 8 ways to reduce stress and guess what? It works! I'm especially impressed with the difference the breathing exercises make...click here to give it a try!
Cooking for Engineers
For the most part, if you've seen one recipe site, you've seen them all. That's what I thought until I stumbled across Cooking for Engineers. It has detailed instructions on food and cooking for those who like to ask not just "how?" but also "why?"
It features step by step photographs and a cool tabular recipe card that lists all the ingredients and preparation actions in an easy-to-understand, visual way. The recipe for homemade mayonnaise includes the best explanation of emulsions I've seen since taking Mr. Shelton's chemistry class way back when!

Computer Problems?
Arthur can fix your computer, rid it of viruses and malware or tune it up for you. He'll make it run faster than it did when you first bought it. You can drop it off at N2N or he can do a house call. He writes a column on computer care for The Times every other Saturday. You can visit his blog at http://computerhousecalls.blogspot.com/ to see an archive of columns, searchable by keywords.
Most times he will have your computer back to you within two days and his rates include a free follow-up phone consultation.
