Common Heating & Cooling Emergency Repairs

- Power outage – A blown fuse is often the culprit when the power to your system is cut, however, it can also be caused by a larger problem.

Eat Pretty: My Second Baby Arrives Today!/
Dear readers,
As I write this post, I'm propped against the island in my kitchen, with a 1-month old baby strapped to my chest. My multitasking skills have been put to the test over the past few weeks as I worked, with every free moment, to get the word out about the launch of another baby that I've been working on for over 2 years: Eat Pretty.
Back in the fall of 2011, when I first decided to pitch the idea for a book about the fundamentals of beauty nutrition (brimming with fresh, colorful, delicious recipes that would make any reader want to pack her diet with beautifying foods), I had no idea that it would enter the world at very the same time as my little boy, Jack. I've been through a range of emotions this month, from elation to exhaustion, from extreme stress to overwhelming peace. My little boy was born. And now, the book is here.
I want this book to empower and inspire, to transform the way you view simple daily activities like snacking, sleeping, exercising and caring for your skin, and to give you tools and information that hasn't been made available to you before. The Eat Pretty approach to beauty helped me out of a deep beauty rut, at a time when breakouts, eczema, allergies, digestive issues and weight gain were a daily frustration. I want you to have access to this information too, so you never have to feel stuck, or less than your best.
Even if I haven't been able to make this, the launch day for Eat Pretty, into a blockbuster celebration, there has already been so much amazing feedback and love for this book, and it's allowed me to share it in ways I never expected. I owe an enormous debt of gratitude to so many in the beauty and health community, and to so many members of the media who have picked up Eat Pretty, loved the info inside, and chose to share it with others. Your endorsement of the book means more than I can ever express!
I hope you, my readers, will pick up a copy as well, since this book was written for YOU! It's filled with over 200 pages of information that is absolutely essential in understanding your body and beauty— the info inside gives you the tools to look and feel your best by creating a lifestyle that supports you as an individual. Inside, you'll find a book broken down by seasons, with grocery shopping lists, beauty intentions, and pampering rituals that help you embrace all that nature has to offer you during each season of the year. The book wouldn't be complete without an explanation of the nutritional info that will transform your skin, hair, nails, mood and weight, and chapters that help you connect your digestion, hormone balance, sleep patterns, emotional wellbeing and pH balance to your appearance. It's the information I sought years ago, and couldn't find.
Now it's in one place, in one pretty package.
Thank you for your support of Eat Pretty!
In beauty and health,
Sleep-deprived, makeup free, hair in a messy mommy ponytail— and happy as ever holding my two babies!

Seeing the results with each peel was fantastic. My skin has changed longterm for the better and I'm recommending Dija to everyone.
Thank you for your message. l will respond within the next 48 hours.

Cloud - in New Zealand!
I've spent a reasonable chunk of the past year working on a project we launched last month, Catalyst Cloud! It is using OpenStack with Ceph as the object store. It has taken a lot of work, and it is now very exciting seeing the level of interest there we're receiving about this new service!
The great part of this is that we can now offer private cloud services to our customers which provides all the flexibility that we've come to expect with the "cloud", but hosted in New Zealand by a New Zealand owned company so no concerns about jurisdiction of your data! Not only are we able to offer private cloud services on our OpenStack cluster(s), but we can also deploy OpenStack onto our customers own hardware using our ProdStack solution (I get to look directly at the Dashboard shown on that page, which is pretty cool).
Next up is deploying another OpenStack cluster in our new data centre (which is another project I'm working on). In the near future we also hope to start using Open Compute Project hardware for our clusters.

BONN, Germany (Reuters) - Germany's telecoms industry should accelerate the build-out of the country's high-speed broadband network, its regulator said on Monday, adding it was considering easier regulation on glass-fiber internet to speed the process.
Germany has set a goal of providing nationwide internet with speeds of at least 50 megabits per second (mbit/s) in 2018 but the technology relied on by market leader Deutsche Telekom - based on the old copper telephone network - cannot be easily upgraded further.
That makes it harder to realize the vision of a "Gigabit society" in which all businesses and households would have access to superfast glass fiber connections by 2025 - at a cost of 80 billion euros ($95 billion) or more.
"We can't delay further investments into the distant future and risk missing out on the chances of digitalization," said Jochen Homann, president of the Federal Network Agency (BNetzA), presenting its annual reports on the telecoms and postal markets.
Germany's engineering industry has sounded the alarm on the lack of access to high-speed internet, urging the next government to invest up to 40 billion euros to enable connected, automated manufacturing to take off.
Chancellor Angela Merkel had discussed investing 20 billion euros in glass fiber by 2025 in talks on forming a coalition that collapsed last month. Her conservatives are now exploring reviving their ruling alliance with the Social Democrats.
Addressing a news conference, Homann conceded that Germany was "pretty much at the back" of the international field when it comes to access to glass-fiber internet.
He said the BNetzA was considering a more flexible regulatory regime on glass fiber that would allow companies to cooperate in building out the network to save costs, and depart from strict cost-plus rules on pricing.
That view was supported by Germany's Monopoly Commission, an advisory panel to the government, which in a separate report opposed calls by Deutsche Telekom CEO Tim Hoettges to completely deregulate glass fiber.
"We oppose radical solutions - such as completely abandoning regulation," the commission's point person for telecoms, Juergen Kuehling, told the same news conference. "We believe that more flexible regulation would be a sufficient incentive to invest in building out glass fiber."
Kuehling also called for the full privatization of Deutsche Telekom, which remains 31.5 percent state-owned, to eliminate a conflict of interest in which the government is "both player and referee" on the telecoms market.
The VATM lobby group, which represents Deutsche Telekom's rivals, welcomed the Monopoly Commission's call for lighter-touch regulation while ruling out a free-for-all in laying fiber connections to buildings and homes.
Around 77 percent of households in Europe's largest economy have access to the internet at speeds of 50 mbit/s and upward, the BNetzA estimates. That figure rises to 90 percent in towns but falls to just 36 percent in rural areas.
Around 13 percent of Germany's 32.5 million broadband customers enjoy internet speeds of 100 mbit/s and more - double the level seen in mid-2015.
Demand for ultra-high-speed internet delivered via glass fiber remains very low, the BNetzA said. Even though 2.7 million households could have access to such connections, only a quarter have signed up. That will change.
"With increasing demands for performance it is clear that we have to think beyond the 50 mbit/s goal that was set for 2018. Germany needs Gigabit-capable infrastructure," Homann also said.
The BNetzA said that in preparation for the rollout of 5G services it would make available new mobile spectrum in 2018. The mobile standard would make it possible to put self-driving cars on the streets and run connected "smart" home appliances.

We complained here is enough to not welcome this initiative: Patong beach in Phuket was cleaned yesterday its sun loungers and parasols. A unceremoniously household that wants final. It remains to help those earning an honest living with this activity.
The method is by cons, a little rough because it is about 350 sunbed providers who have lost their jobs in one day. A team of 200 men including military officers, volunteers from homeland defense and municipal staff headed by Colonel Somchai Ponathong, withdrew lounge chairs, umbrellas and tents as part of a reorganization of the landscape of the beach recently launched by the National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO).
Colonel Somchai said the providers were ordered to remove their structures of Patong Beach but were allowed to continue their activities provided they do not infringe on the beach. When cleaning the beach, a large group of suppliers concerned reportedly surrounded the authorities and told them they would be left without jobs and income.
The Mayor of Patong, Chalermluck Kebsab, said that sellers have registered their names with provincial officials that would later discuss measures on how to help them. 350 people including 60 registered and sunbed operators, masseuses 190 and 100 boat operators and jet skis.
The junta in Thailand who wants to go fast and solve problems that tarnish the country's image to restore the confidence of tourists. It remains to do the same in Pattaya with perhaps a little more consultation before …

Microsoft provides powerful services within Office 365 – but a comprehensive backup of your Office 365 data is not one of them. Of over 1,000 IT Pros surveyed, 81% experienced data loss in Office 365 – from simple user error to major data security threats.
Veeam® Backup for Microsoft Office 365 eliminates the risk of losing access and control over your Office 365 data including Exchange Online, SharePoint Online, OneDrive for Business and Microsoft Teams – so that your data is always protected and accessible.
Microsoft Office 365 enables your enterprise to work anywhere, anytime, without the need to host your own email, files and SharePoint infrastructure. Even though Microsoft hosts the infrastructure, this doesn't replace your responsibility to backup business-critical Office 365 data.
With Office 365, it's your data — you control it — and it is your responsibility to protect it.
Did you know that 60% of sensitive cloud data is stored in Office documents, and 75% is NOT backed up? Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365 gives you the power to securely backup Office 365 to any location, including on premises, a hyperscale cloud, or a service provider and:
A backup, in its simplest form, is a copy of your data that's stored independently from the source. This mitigates risks and ensures peace of mind that you'll be able to restore when needed
Never settle for less than reliable, granular restores of Office 365 mailboxes and emails, SharePoint sites, documents, libraries and lists, as well as OneDrive for Business accounts, files and folders, in a few simple clicks.
Built-in Veeam Explorers™ for Microsoft Exchange, SharePoint and OneDrive for Business enable:
Without an easily accessible copy of your data, retrieving Office 365 email for regulatory or compliance reasons can be costly, time consuming and a major disruption to your business.
With Veeam, you can leverage the familiar, advanced search capabilities and the flexible recovery and export options to perform eDiscovery on Office 365 mailboxes, emails, files or sites— just as easily as you would with a traditional on-premises data backup.
Feature Highlight:
The issue: Many customers were completely satisfied with the operating structure of retention policies found in previous versions of Veeam's Office 365 backup solution, but customers who also use Veeam's flagship product, Veeam Backup & Replication™, wished that the retention in Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365 operated in a similar way.
The solution: Each individual customer can now choose between either retention option. The traditional, item-level approach or the snapshot-based approach (full + forever incremental), similar to Veeam Backup & Replication.
Feature Highlight:
The issue: Many of Veeam's Office 365 backup customers were looking for advanced visibility into their Office 365 data protection environments.
The solution: Three reports have been added into the Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365 user interface, as well as via PowerShell or RESTful API. These reports identify unprotected Office 365 mailboxes and give users the ability to manage license and storage usage.
Feature Highlight:
The issue: The ESE data storage technology from Microsoft has a file size limit of 64TB per year and per repository, and large customers creating Office 365 backup files can run into issues completing backups and managing the design of a large backup infrastructure.
The solution: Veeam's storage repositories are intelligent enough to know when you are about to hit a file size limit and automatically scale out the repository, eliminating this file size limit issue.
Security and compliance concerns are big drivers for the need to backup Office 365 email and other Office 365 data. With an Office 365 backup, you can:
Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365 delivers unmatched scalability, providing a multi-repository, multi-tenant architecture, which:
Ensuring control of Office 365 email and SharePoint data requires a solution that can cover both Office 365 and any on-premises Exchange and SharePoint instances that you may have.

Justin Bieber

- Recommend Track(s): "No Pressure" feat Big Sean; "No Sense" feat Travis Scott
- Features: Big Sean, Travis Scott, Hasley, Skrillex, Diplo, Nas and Ariana Grande
- The Rundown: After dealing with personal issues and some trouble with the law, Justin Bieber is back making music and ready for the world to hear his purpose. Purpose is Bieber's fourth studio album (fifth if you count Journals like I do). The album is more pop driven than his previous project Journals but a lot of the tracks have a R&B swag to them. This is probably the most pivotal album is Bieber's young career as he try to get his life back in the right direction. Expect him to battle with the group below for the #1 spot on the Billboard Charts.
- Bonus: Check out the videos for Bieber's three singles below.
One Direction
- Album: Made In The A.M
- Singles: "Drag Me Down", "Perfect"
- Recommended Track(s): "What A Feeling"
- Features: None
- The Rundown: One Direction has all eyes in their direction as they begin a new era, the post-Zayn Malik era. Zayn shocked the world when he left the group back in March but the remaining members declared they were not going anywhere. Now they are back with a brand new album Made In The A.M. The group says they will take a temporary break after the album but that everyone will indeed return. However before they go, they will go head to head with Bieber for the #1 spot on the charts.

- Album: Church in These Streets
- Singles: "God", "Church In These Streets", "Sweet Life"
- Recommended Track(s): "Forgive Me" feat Monica
- Features: Janelle Monae' and Monica
- The Rundown: Jeezy dropped a letter discussing several big issues in the black community and followed that with the announcement of a new album. Church In These Streets is Jizzle's sixth studio album. The album follows his Politically Correct EP which dropped in October. Though the album is not led with a chart topping single, I believe this album will surely not disappoint fans of the Snowman.
- Bonus: Listen to two of the singles and watch two videos of tracks from the Snowman's new LP.
Ty Dolla $ign
- Album: Free TC
- Singles: "Blase"
- Recommended Tracks: "Sitting Pretty" feat Wiz Khalfia

The song's first single "Drop That Kitty" did not make the cut but the album is filled great tracks and features that fans will enjoy. Expect to hear DJ Mustard on the track and $ign's signature sound throughout the tape.
- Bonus: Check out videos of three tracks off Free TC.
Kirk Franklin
- Album: Losing My Religion
- Singles: "Wanna Be Happy"
- Recommended Tracks: "When" featuring Kim Burrell & Lalah Hathaway, "My World Needs You" feat Sarah Reeves, Tasha Cobbs and Tamela Mann
- Features: Zacardi Cortez, Tasha Page-Lockhart, Kim Burrell, Lalah Hathaway, Sarah Reeves, Tasha Cobbs and Tamela Mann
- The Rundown: Kirk Franklin has been M.I.A for awhile. Seems like we had a new gosepl jam every year from him for awhile but nothing lately. Do not worry though because he is back with a brand new album. Losing My Religion is Franklin's first new album in over four years. The album's lead single "Wanna Be Happy" has not took off like most of his singles but I am sure it will gain some steam after the album drops.
- Bonus: Video for "Wanna Be Happy"
- Album: The Incredible True Story
- Singles: "Young Jesus", "Like Woah",
- Recommnded Tracks: "Fade Away"
- Features: Big Lenbo, Lucy Rose, Dria, and Jesse Boykins III
- The Rundown: Logic is one of the most underrated rappers in the game today. After releasing his debut album, Under Pressure, just last year, Young Sinatra went straight back to work on his sophomore campaign. What he created is The Incredible True Story. The album is sort of similar to what Childish Gambino did with Before The Internet. The album is a "narrative of two space travelers gunning through the galaxy". Check out the adventure as you listen to the album.
- Bonus: Album Trailer and two of tracks off the album
Alessia Cara
- Album: Know-It-All
- Singles: "Here", "Wild Things"
- Recommended Tracks: "Outlaws", "Seventeen"

- Recommended Tracks: "Robin Williams"
- Features: Bob James

It can be challenging coming up with a unique and exciting place to take the family on vacation. One suggestion, however, is to have a safari adventure and see the amazing and varied wildlife on the island of Borneo in Southeast Asia.
It can be challenging coming up with a unique and exciting place to take the family on vacation. One suggestion, however, is to have a safari adventure and see the amazing and varied wildlife on the island of Borneo in Southeast Asia.
When it comes to planning a family vacation there are the typical ideas such as heading to a crowded beach or going to a cliché theme park. And while those kinds of outings can be fun once or twice, it can become stale and boring if you try to do them too many times.
Doing something a little bit out of the ordinary for a family vacation keeps things fresh and makes for a much more exciting time for everyone. And one way to do something a little bit different is to take the family to the amazing island of Borneo to see the plethora of unique wildlife in their natural habitat.
Much of the surface area of Borneo is jungle territory and as such it is home to some fascinating and exciting wildlife. There was a time when the people of Borneo were not very welcoming to international visitors. But over the last decade, they have begun to understand the benefits of tourism and the wonderful natural environment that their island has to offer.
One of the most sought-after species on Borneo are the Orangutans. These beautiful and very friendly creatures are everywhere on the island and can be seen not only on one of the many guided jungle tours but also at the Sepilok Orangutan Sanctuary.
But orangutans are only the beginning of the wildlife that there is to see on Borneo. There are several companies that offer family cruises down the Kinabatangan River where tourists can see everything from monitor lizards to macaques to hornbills and even pygmy elephants. Some of the companies offering tours and cruises include Intrepid Travel, World Expeditions, and G Adventures.
For generations, the family vacation has been one of the greatest cultural traditions not only in the United States but also in many other countries around the world. But family vacations can become rather bland and unexciting if they involve the same activities year after year. A family outing on the beautiful and wildlife-rich island of Borneo is the perfect remedy to liven up a boring family vacation.

Funds needed for youth program
The Miami Science Museum Upward Bound Math & Science Program (UBMS) exposes participants, who are low-income, first-generation college-bound students, to academically enriching activities to motivate, excite and promote teamwork, leadership and success.
One of the core components of the program is the sense of unity created between the participants and the mentors. To foster this level of comfort, the students attend an annual field excursion in a national park, where they experience the trip in small teams configured with students who are outside of their typical circle of friends. Additionally, this trip uses outdoor physical activities and mental challenges to improve communication skills, cultivate team building, reduce conflict and inspire creative problem-solving approaches. The trip for the 2010/2011 academic year will be to Hontoon Island State Park in DeLand, Florida on January 21-23, 2011. 35 students and seven adults will be attending.
Through participation in this program, students are preparing themselves for college and becoming more competitive, but they are also building self-efficacy skills, becoming empowered young adults and transferring their leadership skills to the college campuses. Since 1999, on average 95% of Miami Science Museum's students have graduated from high school, 90% of high school graduates have enrolled in a post secondary institution and 65% have pursued majors in science, technology, engineering and math.
For information on how to support the students who need assistance in covering associated costs for food, travel and supplies, visit CoconutGroveGrapvine.com.

Year 5s enjoyed a fabulous maths workshop at Queen Elizabeth Grammar School in Horncastle in March. We worked with Mrs Robinson from the maths department explored fractals, found in nature and in art, and then used our measuring skills to produce repeating triangular patterns and fractal staircases.
Then things got even more exciting when we went to the drama studio to create some giant tetrahedron models using sticks and rubber bands.
Look at the photo gallery to see us in action.
We learned huge amounts about patterns, visualisation of shapes and algebra, and Dougie was pleased to be able to put his new-found skills with rubber bands to help tie his sister Poppy's hair into a ponytail!
We have enjoyed teaching Year 6 all about fractals and seeing if they could make tetrahedrons with as much skill and precision as we did!
Have a look at the second photo gallery below to see if they could!

This Historic "Flute Clock" (Orgeluhr) is a precious mechanical clock, with a small organ is combined. Given time to hear music from a pen-driven roller.
Flötenuhrbaues the heyday was the late 18th out Century. Flute clocks were built for affluent, culturally sophisticated circles, educated people with appropriate art and music understanding. The finest pieces built in Vienna and Berlin. Easier flute watches were up to about 1850 in large quantities in the Black produced. They played for entertainment in guest houses.
Several well-known composers wrote works specially for this instrument, as George Frideric Handel, Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach, Haydn, Antonio Salieri, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart or Ludwig van Beethoven.
Flute watches with great restrictions than their recorded music era to consider it forced the composer to be exact instructions in execution ornamentation and tempo. The coupling of wind plant and roll can be traced back to minimum tempos and makes historical Flute clocks so interesting for issues of historical performance practice.

For #NaPoWriMo Day 20 the Prompt is: " to write a poem that involves rebellion in some way. The speaker or subject of the poem could defy a rule or structure that's been placed on them, or the poem could begin by obeying a rule and then proceed to break it."
Also, combining with Michael from MindLoveMisery's Menagerie TaleWeavers Prompt "exploring the concept of longing. What is it you long for? Health, holiday, freedom, love, understanding, acceptance."

These cubicles, they're full —
But outside there's fresh -air and freedom.
A world to explore, to engage to the core,
Outside these thin walls is liberty.
No more work burdens to bear,
So, the mountains and city steps I'll climb.
And these cubicles, I'll slice them full of holes,
Tacking up scenic pictures to inspire my soul.
Nature's vibrant purple-skies as storms roll in,
Waterfalls that crash, and streams that gurgle.
Cars that absorb the grind of the rocky-road,
Spring zipping through the highways on four-wheels.
All in all, I'm forlorn, for the wide-great outdoors,
Scented pine-needles and decaying earth.
Wings of bubble-bees as they hit the breeze,
And flutter into pale-pink roses.
I'll knock down these walls with hammers and saws,
Because no architect supposed workers crave sunlight.
No builder thought windows were essential to breathe,
That these gray walls, dense recycled air —
Aren't places for humans to exist;
To flourish and grow, to be creative and problem-solve.
They're the prisons where we labor to earn —
The visage of sunlight on rippling waters.
Oceans crashing against rocks —
The flow of rivers down the banks,
And the hustle of people as they swarm live-festivals,
Scamper for cool beer and watermelon.
When we peer to the ceiling, we're searching for the sky,
So, you can call security, but either way, I'm escaping.
The green-grass is sweet and calling to me;
My heart beats for the tides' ankle-deep caress.
And a tangerine sunset, it lives inside me,
The ember of glory that leads the way,
Through the dull-dread of each dreary workday.

One of the direct to consumer brands we've followed for a long time is Parachute. Today, the LA-based home basics company just released a full bath collection. I am already a happy owner of their massive bath sheets (in fact my brother asked for them for Christmas after using them while staying with me) and I hope the rest of the extended bath line is just as wonderful!
Margaux NY
Back in San Francisco I hosted a brunch with the wonderful ladies from Margaux NY, a new brand for the modern woman. Margaux launched with a signature product -- a classic ballerina custom made for your foot. However, my current favorite product is their newer soft and casual Demi flats.
Article Furniture
And.... we're back. After a long summer hiatus and numerous emails from you saying "where are you!?" I'm here! And not only am I here, I'm here with one of my favorite new furniture finds, ARTICLE. So say you aren't mad at me?? Just look at this sofa...
In Article's own words, they "deliver beautifully designed modern furniture, with outstanding attention to detail, at fair prices." I love the incredible assortment offered and ability to customize fabrics. In my mind there is a big gigantic sad sink hole in the market between low quality furniture and uber expensive options. And even the expensive stores also often have dated ordering experiences and delayed shipping times.
With ARTICLE, many items are in stock and will arrive within 2 and 5 days (!). Also, shipping is a flat fee of $49. You can also choose to upgrade to room of choice delivery for $99 or to room of choice delivery, complete with unpacking and assembly $169. No hiring a Task Rabbit for you!
While ARTICLE pieces surely aren't cheap, they are much more affordable than comparable pieces and the designs will stand the test of time (and trends). You can shop ARTICLE here.
Cuyana Early Access
Happy Wednesday!
A quick note to let you know that Cuyana just opened up early access on their new overnight bags and weekenders...
Beautiful, right? You can shop them early here
Skimm Ahead
My relationship with the Daily Skimm is complicated. I can't get over the flippant nature of the reporting and while I no longer call myself subscriber, I know many people enjoy it and I give Danille and Carly credit for achieving incredible product/market fit. Regardless of my stance on the Daily Skimm, I am really loving their new product, "Skimm Ahead." Have you heard of it?
It basically "Skimm-ifies" your calendar, adding in the fun things you wish you remembered, but likely don't have on your calendar.... the NBA Draft, the French Open, the National Spelling Bee, Adele Tickets going on sale....etc...
While I can't say I am eager to hear when Orange is the New Black is premiering, I do love the idea of this calendar overlay so long as it becomes more customizable to each person. What do you think? The app/calendar overlay is $2.99/month, but the first month trial is free.
Little Tienda
I just returned home from a magical few days spend with friends in Mexico. It reminded me of a little shop I came across recently called Little Tienda. I am a loyal Mi Golondrina fan and was excited to find another eCommerce site for Mexico inspired wares.
I love this Short Las Flores Dress
Zady New Release
You may have caught my post a while back on Zady, the eCommerce company some are calling the "whole foods" of fashion. Since then, Zady has continued to roll out new products that adhere to its 'new standard' for sourcing and manufacturing. Most recently, the Striped Sailor Shirt made in the USA from 100% organic cotton...
This shirt makes me eager for spring weekends! Shop the striped shirt and more here.
My very talented friend Emily has been working on an incredible project called Getaway...
In short, Getaway builds tiny, modern, cabins in the woods, that are located within a 2 hour drive of major cities. The company is helping make your dreams of spending time "away from it all" much more accessible. You just rent your cabin of choice and Getaway sends you the directions right before your stay. Up until now, Getaway has only been outside of Boston, but they just expanded to offer cabins within 2 hours of New York!
How beautiful are these cabins? You can read a funny little article on BuzzFeed and check out the Getaway site here
Wow, I cannot believe it's already Thursday. What are you up to this weekend? I've been traveling what feels like every weekend and am so thankful to have a weekend at home. I'm hoping to go out and see this movie.
In the spirit of travel, have you heard of Raden? It's a new smart luggage company and it seems like they've thought of everything...
First and foremost I love the sleek design. Luckily it has beauty and brains, with a built in charger, location tracking, and an integrated scale so you can weigh your bag before the officious people at the desk do.
Raden currently comes in two sizes, a 22-inch carry-on size or a 28-inch check-in size and seven colors and range in price from $295 to $595.
It's interesting to compare this company to another recently launched luggage brand, AWAY. Which do you prefer? I am so happy companies are finally disrupting the luggage game.
You can buy Raden through the company's website or go test it out yourself at their pop-up store in Soho.
Happy Friday friends! Bad news is you probably can't be wearing pajamas today, but good news is Sleepy Jones is having a friends and family sale through Sunday! Use code UNDERCOVER for 20% off. I wish you a relaxing weekend!
Over the Ocean
While reading Cup of Jo this morning I came across the lovely home of Birgit Sfat, founder of kids clothing ecommerce site Over the Ocean. When she relocated from Germany to San Francisco's Noe Valley, many people asked about her daughter Milla's unique clothes (see adorable Milla below.) Sensing an interest in European labels, she opened Over the Ocean to bring these designs to the U.S.
Welcome to the New Site
Welcome to the new LM site! As you will see, some of the previous posts don't look as lovely here, but going forward you should enjoy the new interface, especially the new LIBRARY of companies featured here.

Consuming raw or undercooked cookie dough may increase your risk of foodborne illness.
As "office mom," I pretty much have the best job ever. I do the normal office work like pay bills, edit the website, get the mail, and keep office supplies stocked. But I also get to plan company activities, bake cookies in the office kitchen, help design Tshirts, bake cake for everyone's birthdays, and make Costco runs to buy inordinate amounts of cereal, beef jerky, and chocolate for the office.
Outside of work, I enjoy baking, making handmade cards and crafts, reading (mostly sci-fi, fantasy, and cookbooks), and Netflix marathons with my husband (especially if it involves Doctor Who or Firefly).
My favorite ice cream flavor? Mint chip. Or English toffee crunch. Or maybe cake batter (with Reese's...mmm...). Or really any ice cream... ever. Except spumoni.

It was a brilliant Staycation.
Saturday - Pudding!
Top Ender and I decided last night that instead of having a proper evening meal we'd have a treat and so decided to go to the desert bar in Milton Keynes called Kaspa's. It was AMAZING! Top Ender went for a Crepe and I went for a Waffle and we know we're be heading back soon.
Sunday - Cowboy Casserole
Top Ender decided that she would make Cowboy Casserole for our family to share when Dan Jon and Flyfour got back from their camping trip. It doesn't take long in the slow cooker and is so easy to make that I'm quite happy for her to make it!
Monday - Special Family Meal
Top Ender has vanished off to Disneyland Paris with her Guides for a few days, so the rest of us are at home. I thought that we'd have something special for our meal tonight, we just have to go to the supermarket and buy it first, or we might just go to Kaspa's!
Tuesday - Sausage and Egg Boats
We're having another carb free night tonight just to check out Dan Jon's sugar levels following changes that were made last week. We really enjoyed these when we had them a few weeks back, so we're going to have them again tonight.
Wednesday - Cod Fillets with Mixed Vegetables
I figure after the last couple of nights we need something good and healthy tonight! Dan Jon isn't aware yet, but he's going to help me make it! It is such a simple dish, so I'm not sure he'll be that bothered about helping.
Thursday - Beans on Toast
Something nice and simple tonight!
Friday - Sausage Pie
Well for everyone apart from Flyfour it's Sausage Pie! Top Ender and I were going to have it on our Staycation, but we ended up going to Kaspa's instead. I said we'd have it tonight as something for her to look forward to instead of being depressed she was leaving Disneyland Paris!
So that's what we're eating this week, how about you?

Caprese Skillet Chicken
- Yield: 4 servings
The kitchen timer is your friend for this recipe. To avoid drying out the thin pieces of chicken, watch your meat closely and set a timer for the recommended cooking times.
- 1 1/2pounds chicken breasts, about 3 small
- 3/4teaspoon kosher salt, plus a pinch for finishing
- 1/4teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus a pinch for finishing
- 1teaspoon dried basil
- 6ounces fresh mozzarella
- 2medium tomatoes
- 8large fresh basil leaves
- 2tablespoons olive oil
- 2-4tablespoons balsamic vinegar, for serving
- Slice the chicken breasts in half lengthwise, making thin cutlets. If the chicken is still more than ½ inch thick, lightly pound the cutlets until they are an even ½ inch in thickness. Sprinkle the chicken with the salt, pepper and dried basil. Slice the cheese into ¼-inch-thick slices, slice the tomatoes into ¼-inch-thick slices and slice the fresh basil into thin shreds. Set on a plate next to the stove.
- Warm a large stainless steel skillet over medium-high heat, add the oil and heat until shimmering. Add the chicken in a single layer across the skillet. Cook without touching for 90 seconds. Reduce the heat to medium. Flip the chicken over and top each piece of chicken with cheese and then tomato slices and cover with a lid. Cook an additional 2 to 3 minutes. The cheese should be just beginning to melt over the chicken.
- Remove from the heat, uncover and test the chicken for doneness. It should be white throughout with barely a hint of pink. Sprinkle the tomatoes lightly with a pinch of salt and pepper and top with the fresh basil. Drizzle with the balsamic just before serving.

During the time you are with us, you will eat a perfectly honed and balanced diet to fuel your training and we hope you'll find it is as delicious as it is healthy. It is not a weight loss camp, although some of you may lose some weight. Every meal and snack has been carefully planned and balanced and we will be sharing some of the recipes with you so that you can try them at home. We will be discussing nutrition and there is the extra option to follow up with the nutritionist either during or after the camp.
We do not give you large meals or massive portions but we do feed you very, very well and everything tastes really, really good.
There are regular meals and snacks every 3 to 4 hours to:
Balance Blood Sugar Levels providing a steady supply of glucose to your body throughout the day. When we allow our BSL to dip through missing meals not only does it leave us feeling tired and irritable but also results in cravings and poor food choices.
Boost Metabolism allowing your body to turn calories into energy at a faster rate
The choice of foods is crucial.
Complex Carbohydrates (wholegrains, fruit & veg) that release their energy slowly into the bloodstream helping you to feel fuller for longer and control your appetite
Protein to help maintain muscle mass (the amount of muscle tissue you have determines your metabolism), sustain energy levels and encourage fat to be burnt as an energy source
Essential Fats (nuts, seeds and oily fish) vital for our well being including brain and nerve function and balancing hormones
A large variety of foods needed to provide the complex mixture of nutrients to achieve optimum health

CWU's Wildcat Chorus is one of the Department's most energetic groups and is open to any man who likes to sing, with no audition necessary.
The group reflects the CWU Choirs' stated philosophy that at Central there is a choir for anyone who likes to sing. Further, the Wildcat Chorus prides itself on maintaining a supportive, welcoming atmosphere to everyone from guys who have never sung to those guys majoring in voice performance. Its ranks typically include about half each of music and non-music majors.
The CWU Wildcat Chorus performed for the Washington Music Educators Association conference in Yakima in February of 2014 to great acclaim. In the spring of 2014, over 60 men sang with the group.
Rehearsals are held at noon on Mondays, Wednesday and Fridays in the Choir Room.
Repertoire ranges from traditional sea shanties and drinking songs to Renaissance music and includes a healthy dose of multicultural music as well. This variety of repertoire is designed to introduce the men to the incredible wealth of men's voice music, with the added goal of entertaining the audience.
The guys enjoy the special camaraderie which comes from singing music which utilizes the many facets of the male voice. As with all CWU choirs, an emphasis is put on building musicianship, learning about the voice, and furthering one's individual skills.

So what in the world is a UTM code? A UTM (Urchin Traffic Monitor) tracking code adds some elements to the end of your URL to trace specific information back to Google Analytics. This helps to identify specific ads, links or campaigns.
Why do you need a UTM code? Because most marketing efforts have a broad range of sources, campaigns and mediums. We'll explain these later.
The great thing about UTM tracking is that it helps tell you where a user of your website came from, what triggered them to come to your website and what they did on your website after they arrived. There is no better way to track ROI for web-based campaigns.
The simplest way to explain UTM codes is really to show you how they work.
Let's say your website is fakesite.com, and you run an email newsletter ad in Cool Magazine's email newsletter. If you don't use UTM codes, then evaluating the performance of this ad via your own Google Analytics account will be more difficult. The inbound links might be named according to Cool Magazine's email software, such as Constant Contact. Or, if you ran the daily or weekly, you might see when visitors came to your website via the ad, but you won't see which edition of the enewsletter triggered their visit.
Even worse, what if you used different ad creative to send people to the same page because you wanted to test the audience's response to different message? This is a great idea, but discerning how the different ads performed will be very difficult without UTM codes.
See how valuable that data would be to have? UTM tracking codes gives you all of that data.
Creating UTM codes is free and easy to do. Here is how:
- Go to: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/1033867?hl=en#using_the_url_builder
- Add your url
- Now I'll add Campaign Source, which in this case is: cool magazine newsletter
- Now I'll add the medium, which in this example is medium rectangle
- And finally, Campaign, would be a bit descriptive based on your campaign: cool guy aftershave
This is just one example – many ways exist for creating UTM codes. You want to be consistent and use the same format every time. But you want to be able to sort them smartly in Google Analytics. So, if you created a "cool guy aftershave" UTM as well as a "Cool Guy Aftershave" UTM, you would see two different campaigns in Google Analytics, which wouldn't like work well. See screenshot example at the bottom of this page
So again, be consistent and create your own internal rules for each: source, medium and campaign.
What is a Source?
This refers to where the ad is hosted – it could be Google or a website / enewsletter in which you advertise. If you're tracking the results of a social media campaign, the source would be Facebook or Twitter, for example.
What is a Medium?
The medium is the platform type. If you used Facebook or Twitter, the medium would be "social" or "social media." If you ran an ad on Facebook you might change it to "cpc" for cost-per-click ad campaign.
What is a campaign?
Let's continue the Facebook example. If you posted an article on Facebook, the headline would be your campaign, such as "cool guy aftershave."
The payoff for using UTM codes occurs after you run an ad campaign – go into Google Analytics select Campaigns and "All Campaigns" to see the data. Now you can easily sort the click-through visits to your website by Source, Medium and Campaign (not to mention doing a deeper dive into conversions and important metrics like bounce rate, pages per session, etc.). No more wondering which digital ad campaigns performed the best for you – now you'll know.

When I click on a PDF file from a webpage, it opens it with GIMP, seems rather excessive to me. How do I open the file with Okular. I haven't been able to Google this as I am not sure what it is called. Is this 'file association' or 'application association'?

Sheffield Wednesday manager Dave Jones has made a key addition to his backroom staff with the appointment of coach Stuart Gray.
Gray brings a wealth of experience to Hillsborough having enjoyed a coaching career of almost two decades.
The 52-year-old's stint on the other side of the white line began back in 1994 upon his retirement from his playing days.
Having hung up his boots after representing Nottingham Forest, Bolton, Barnsley, Aston Villa and Southampton, Gray joined the coaching staff at The Dell before moving on to Wolves as reserve team manager.
Gray returned to Southampton in 1997 as reserve team coach under Jones, who was then at the Saints helm.
The Yorkshireman was promoted to first team coach in 1998 and, after a spell as caretaker manager in 2001, took up the position on a permanent basis as the club moved to their new ground of St Mary's.
Gray then enjoyed fruitful spells coaching the first teams of Aston Villa and Crystal Palace before linking up once again with Jones as assistant manager at Wolves.
After a short spell as caretaker at Molineux in 2004, Gray's next project arrived in 2007 when he took up the vacant managerial position at Northampton Town, where he remained until 2009.
In 2010, Gray became first team coach at then Premier League side Burnley and took the reins as caretaker following the departure of former Owls boss Brian Laws in December of the same year.
Gray took his coaching experience to Portsmouth last season and now links up with Jones once more at Hillsborough.
The Wednesday boss said: "I've brought Stuart in because he's an older head than the coaches I have, he has a vast amount of experience.
"He'll become part of the coaching team and everybody at the club will benefit from his experience and knowledge.
"I have worked with Stuart before for around seven years and that played a big part in my decision to bring him to the club.
"It underlines my philosophy of never standing still and always looking to build.
"I would like to welcome Stuart to Sheffield Wednesday."

For diabetics, they suffer from hyperglycemia; water will be drained naturally from their vascular tissues into blood vessel when sugar in the blood level rises. This is known as "hypertonic" effect and it would make them feel thirsty and frequent urinate. Thirst will lead them to natural drink more water and the more water they consumed will result in more urine subsequently. Many patients have the misconception of these symptoms, they thought that by drinking less water would reduce frequent urinary symptom. In actual fact, it is the consequences of high blood sugar. The treatment for thirst is a high priority, as long as the high blood sugar problem is solved, thirsty symptom could be basically controlled. Note that drinking less water does harm our bodies.

While Fools should generally take the opinion of Wall Street with a grain of salt, it's not a bad idea to take a closer look at particularly stock-shaking analyst upgrades and downgrades -- just in case their reasoning behind the call makes sense.
What: Shares of Office Depot (NASDAQ:ODP) and OfficeMax (UNKNOWN:OMX.DL) both climbed about 7% today after Janney Capital Markets upgraded the pair of office retailers from neutral to buy.
So what: Along with the upgrades, analyst David Strasser boosted his fair value estimate on Office Depot from $4 to $8 and for OfficeMax from $13 to $21.50. The two companies have performed sluggishly since agreeing in February to a $1.2 billion merger -- which is expected to close by year-end -- but Strasser believes that the weakness provides an attractive entry point given the deal's significant savings potential.
Now what: According to Janney, the incremental costs from the merger will be small relative to the juicy upside. "We believe the company's estimate of $400-600 million in synergies is reasonable, and incremental opportunities from store consolidation, which are not included in these estimates, provides somewhere between a cushion and upside to these estimates," noted Janney. "We anticipate store closure synergies to be about $125 million based on our analysis of 300 overlapping stores within 2 miles of each other in key markets." But while the combined company is definitely set up for some solid savings, increasingly intense competitive pressure -- from both brick-and-mortar behemoths and online disruptors -- makes the long-term story far more uncertain.

The Philippines: Incentives pave way for renewables growth
A new incentives programme to be rolled out across the Philippines next year is expected to help the government boost the renewables sector, while also meeting rising domestic demand for power.
The programme will make additional payments available to energy companies for electricity generated by non-conventional means through the introduction of feed-in tariffs (FIT). However, the slow pace at which the scheme is being introduced and changes to its format are already frustrating private developers.
The need for investment in the Philippines' power sector is growing and could soon become critical. According to a report issued at the end of March by the Energy Development Corporation (EDC), the country's largest producer of geothermal energy, demand for energy in the main regions of the Philippines is expected to increase between 4.3% and 5.2% annually over the next five years.
The government's National Renewable Energy Programme, which came into effect in 2011, calls for a near trebling of renewable energy capacity from its current level of 5438 megawatts (MW) to 15,304 MW by 2030. Achieving this target would give renewables around half of the domestic power generation market, while putting the Philippines at the forefront of alternative energy production.
The government hopes that FITs, which guarantee companies producing renewable energy a higher payment than the set rate given for conventional power sources, will help steer the Philippines towards its goal. The FIT scheme was first floated in 2008 in legislation tabled by the government of the time to make the segment more attractive to developers.
In July last year, the Energy Regulatory Commission approved proposed FIT rates for key renewable energy sources. Run-of-river hydroelectric power sources was given a P5.78 ($0.14) kilowatt-hour tariff, biomass P6.60 ($0.16), wind P8.26 ($0.20) and solar P9.50 ($0.23).
The rates were below the levels sought by the Renewable Energy Board, with the tariff awarded for solar power just over half the figure requested. However, the commission stood by the rates set, saying it believed they were high enough to attract investment, but would also soften the impact of incentives on electricity rates.
In an interview given to Agence France Presse at the end of March, Mario Marasigan, head of the Department of Energy's Renewable Energy Management Bureau, said the first projects eligible for FIT should be up and running next year. Marasigan added that he expected solar power plants of between three and five megawatts to top the list of new ventures.
Although the launch of the FIT scheme was broadly welcomed by the industry, concerns were raised that its deployment was taking too long, with critics suggesting that delays risked discouraging investors.
A decision to amend the programme was also questioned. The government recently set out a clarification that FIT guarantees would be given to firms only once a project was operational rather than at an earlier developmental stage. Energy Secretary Carlos Jericho Petilla said the alteration in the terms was aimed at ensuring that only firms committed to seeing through renewable energy projects would embark on the programme.
However, critics have voiced concerns that the amendment could make it more difficult for some energy producers to obtain financing, especially smaller outfits. They argued the change favoured larger firms which were often better capitalised and found it easier to access funding.
In early April, Jesse Ang, the resident representative of the International Finance Corporation of the World Bank group, suggested that the amended terms for granting FIT certifications could affect the development of renewable energy projects, while also impacting investors' choice of energy sources.
"Clearly, without assurance of FIT, you also have to find another way to have an assurance, so the cheaper technologies like hydro will have an advantage over the wind and solar sectors which really need FIT rates because they are very expensive," Ang said in an interview with the Manila Bulletin on April 5.
Marasigan said the setting up of a new energy financing scheme was an involved process. "A FIT mechanism is relatively new to us," he said. "It took us a while to learn and really decipher what is the best means for us."
There is little to suggest that changes to the FIT guidelines are causing projects to be cancelled. Figures indicate that investment in the renewable segment is already on the rise, with the potential for above-tariff earnings expected to bring further expansion to the industry.
