Business taxonomy, Part III
Taxonomies can be powerful tools. But too often, their complexity defeats the users they are supposed to help. The business taxonomy offers a simpler alternative. In the final part of this three-part masterclass, we examine taxonomy evolution.
By Zach Wahl
In the two preceding articles, we endeavoured to define the business taxonomy as a flexible and dynamic end-user-focused alternative to traditional taxonomies. Where a traditional taxonomy is extremely detailed and tightly controlled, a business taxonomy is simpler and more fluid in order to serve the ever-changing needs of end users.
In last months article, we detailed a workshop methodology designed to provide a quick and achievable first step for business taxonomy design. Managed effectively, this workshop methodology will yield a first cut at the highest levels of a taxonomy as well as the beginnings of an overarching metadata strategy.
Now, we must learn how to evolve our taxonomy from the initial workshop product to something worthy of implementation. Moreover, we must make sure that the proper systems and procedures are in place to help the taxonomy evolve in a sustainable manner. This will ensure it is dynamic enough to increasingly and continuously serve the needs of the end users, while being maintained and controlled to the point at which it does not grow out of control.
Getting it good enough to implement
After the first workshop, an organisation ought to have developed the initial top level of a business taxonomy and may also have some areas of the second level defined. More importantly, the organisation will have a new team of educated business users, grounded in business-taxonomy design best practices and clear on their mission, to continue the taxonomy design process. It is this taxonomy team that will help the initial workshop product mature into a taxonomy worthy of implementation. There are several avenues the taxonomy team can and should take to get the taxonomy to that stage of readiness.
To begin with, the taxonomy team should schedule additional workshops to provide greater levels of taxonomic detail and refine the work already performed. It must be remembered the role of the taxonomy team is not to wordsmith, but to use their assorted business perspectives and knowledge of their audience to identify the verbs and, finally, the nouns that will comprise the business taxonomy. As with the first workshop, the role of the facilitator will be critical in keeping the process moving forward and ensuring the taxonomy team does not get bogged down in thinking too deeply about the what ifs? of taxonomy design.
As additional workshops are held, the process should become easier. The taxonomy team will begin to take greater ownership of the process. In addition, each subsequent level of the taxonomy should be simpler to complete since it is bounded by the parent topic it represents. At the highest level of an enterprise-business taxonomy, the workshop participants are asked to identify any and all primary topics that represent their organisation.
This is open to a great deal of interpretation and is practically boundless in scope. Once those topics are defined, however, the taxonomy team has a framework in which to proceed. For example, if the highest level of an intranet taxonomy includes a topic of employee benefits, the second level should be easier for the taxonomy team to define, since it can only be made up of sub-topics from that original category, such as retirement, insurance, and discounts. In other words, each increasing level of detail should be easier since the scope is better defined.
That said, the overall amount of time each level will take to complete may increase, since there will be more of it to define. Assuming a top-level taxonomy of ten topics, the second level might be made up of 100 topics (ten for each parent, for example) and a third level could include as many as 1,000 topics (ten more for each of the second-level parents).
In reality, a business taxonomy will never acquire a perfect pyramid shape, but this demonstrates the potential exponential increase in detail that must be considered. This, of course, also demonstrates why a business taxonomy should remain fairly shallow and simple so as not to confound business users with too much complexity.
In keeping with the end-user-centric nature of business-taxonomy design, the taxonomy team should utilise colleagues to validate the work performed and decisions made by the group. This process can begin immediately following the first workshop and should continue throughout the taxonomy design efforts.
Taxonomy team members should be encouraged to conduct informal interviews with their colleagues. These can serve as a check on the decisions of the taxonomy team and can also be an important communications mechanism to keep stakeholders informed and involved. These conversations may be as simple as discussing the major decisions of the taxonomy team or reviewing the current iteration of the taxonomy. Virtually any effort to hear from end users will be valuable to the overall design process.
Two more formal options for end-user involvement are card-sorting exercises and focus groups. With card-sorting exercises, end users outside of the taxonomy team will be asked to individually place actual corporate documents within the taxonomy or will be asked where they would expect to find a particular document within the taxonomy.
These exercises can be conducted very easily, either via e-mail, on paper or card or using survey websites. In the case of business-taxonomy design, card-sorting exercises are used to measure the level of agreement on where each exemplar document should go. If your participants are largely in agreement, that is a measure that the taxonomy design is intuitive.
If, however, your participants greatly disagree on particular documents, the taxonomy team should reconsider the design for those areas. Though there is no perfect formula, those answers that do not receive at least 70 per cent agreement from respondents are the ones that generally deserve a second look. Card-sorting disagreement may also be an indicator that the naming for a particular node may require further discussion. Performing follow-up card-sorting exercises to test different naming may also help to avoid the dreaded taxonomy team wordsmith discussions.
Convening focus groups of additional end users may also prove valuable for further design and validation of the taxonomy. In the more complex design efforts, many organisations will choose individuals from the taxonomy team to form focus groups to concentrate on defining the level two or level three topics beneath a particular top level node. For instance, many different focus groups might be convened, each of which would take responsibility for defining the sub-topics under one of the parent nodes.
Though this process helps to bring additional end users into the mix and may expedite the development of the overall design, it requires a great deal of oversight from the core taxonomy team to ensure that all the focus groups are co-ordinated. Inevitably, this approach will result in much overlap and duplication of effort, requiring the core taxonomy team to clean up the work of the various focus groups. Focus groups may also be used to refine naming and to further test usability.
Regardless of the various methods employed, the taxonomy team must keep sight of one core factor. The taxonomy will never be finished. It will never be perfect for every user. There will never be a point at which every user finds it to be completely intuitive. The goal of the taxonomy team must not be to build the perfect taxonomy, but to build a taxonomy that is good enough for the majority of users to find value in it. If that mission is achieved, there will be opportunities to improve it over time. Any higher expectation will result in unruly scope and delays that will risk the entire effort. In short, the taxonomy team should get the taxonomy to the point where it is good enough for users to benefit from it immediately and plan for it to be even better in the future.
Taxonomy governance
Appropriate governance of the taxonomy will be imperative in ensuring the iterative improvement of the system and will also ensure the site is managed effectively. Lack of governance, or a governance model that is too loose, will result in a taxonomy that quickly grows out of control and fails to serve the needs of its end users. Organisations with little or no taxonomy governance often end up with taxonomies that are extremely deep, poorly named and filled with a mix of different categorisation approaches.
Governance that is too tight, on the other hand, will result in a stagnating taxonomy that changes too slowly to reflect the dynamic needs of business users. The taxonomy team should, therefore, put serious effort into designing not only the taxonomy, but the accompanying governance plan that will ensure the long-term sustainability and evolution of the taxonomy.
Four core components should be included in the governance plan. The value statement, initially defined in the taxonomy workshops, should be clearly published in order to set expectations appropriately and to help any stakeholder understand the who, what and why of the taxonomy design.
Second, roles and responsibilities should be clearly defined. For instance, it should be clear to all stakeholders by whom decisions about the taxonomy design and naming are being made. The taxonomy team and other groups should be clearly identified, with the capabilities of each group described in detail. These roles and responsibilities will ripple throughout the governance plan, giving clear ownership to the taxonomy.
The governance plan should also include clearly written policies and procedures. Any action associated with the taxonomy that may take place should be plotted within this section of the governance plan. Any stakeholder should be able to see the steps it would take to create a new taxonomy node, delete an old one or to edit the name or location of an existing one. Like the taxonomy itself, these procedures should be clear and simple.
Third, supporting the procedures, policies are also required to bound the role and nature of the taxonomy. For instance, rules around simple naming and maximum depth/breadth will help to ensure the business taxonomy does not slide back into something more like an unusable traditional taxonomy or other ponderous structure.
Finally, and perhaps most importantly, the governance plan should have a clearly defined communications plan for the taxonomy. It must be stressed that simply educating the end users is not enough. The communications plan must also include mechanisms to hear from the end users. Feedback mechanisms, including surveys, interviews and passive monitoring, will be critical to ensure the taxonomy continues to evolve over time to better serve the end users. The communications plan should also map back to the policies and procedures section of the governance plan to clearly define the process for collecting and acting upon feedback. This will provide a clear statement that the taxonomy team is committed to making the taxonomy better serve end user needs.
Iterative improvement
With hard work upfront through the workshops and taxonomy team design efforts and the accompaniment of a well-conceived governance plan, the business taxonomy will have the potential to evolve over time to become more intuitive, usable and valuable to each end user.
Business taxonomy design is not a project with a firm start or end date, but a mission that will continue for the life of the taxonomy. Just as your business changes, so will your business taxonomy. If designed and supported effectively, your business taxonomy may evolve to serve those changing business needs and the changing audiences that use them.
Consider a phased deployment strategy
- Pilot to learn and reduce risk
- Build organisational acceptance;
- Ensure executive buy-in with quick wins;
- Apply lessons learned to improve;
- Revise & optimise methodology & governance.
- Recognise taxonomy evolution
- Dont try to do it all at once;
- Recognise short vs. long-term goals; use governance policies to differentiate and prioritise between them
- Re-assess governance model at each stage of development
- Gradually shift from centralised to more decentralised;
- Reassign, distribute responsibilities over time.

Milwaukee Public Market adds covered bike parking
The Milwaukee Public Market will start catering more to bicyclists, with a sheltered parking area along North Broadway.
Some of the initial work has started, including the installation of a roof on the east side of the market building.
On Tuesday, the Milwaukee Common Council unanimously approved the proposal to use a portion of the sidewalk on Broadway for the racks that will accommodate two-dozen bikes.
David Ware, the facility manager for the public market, said the enthusiasm for biking in the area had prompted the addition.
A temporary repair shop proved popular last year as part of the outdoor market, and the nearby Café Benelux has been a popular stop for people pedaling two wheels. The expanded bike parking will make the market more attractive for those biking customers, Ware said.
Bike racks will be installed under the shelter attached to the Milwaukee Public Market.
5 Comments for "Milwaukee Public Market adds covered bike parking"
We need a bike shop somewhere downtown. There is no place to get a flat fixed, for example, and that is quite a shame, since the nearest place must be at least a mile in any direction. Would be a nice thing to have in conjunction with a messenger service / coffee shop.

I often commute to the Public Market via bike. Despite my many trips, I still occasionally forget that there is ample bike parking on the north side of the market in the car parking lot. Instead, I wander about a bit before I think "duh", its' on the other side. This is because bike parking should be intuitive and obvious. In the case of the market, this means proximity to entrances and visibility. I am thrilled to see the market (and anyone) embracing more bike amenities and working to encourage bike traffic. That said, the east side is not exactly optimal. I would have delighted in a bike corral, like those outside Alterra Prospect or the Nomad. Why don't we dedicate just one car spot for more than a dozen bikes - and put it right by the market entrance? I know, car blasphemy. Anyway, while the east side of the market building does not strike me as significantly better than what already exists on the north side, I'll take it. Its a step in the right direction. Evidence shows that providing infrastructure does stimulate more use. Can't wait to check it out. Thanks Public Market!

Fabulous! I bike regularly downtown, and covered biking where I don't need to bike through the MPM parking lot and risk my life will really make me feel welcome! Last time I navigated the parking lot for the bike racks, I was thinking that an urban shopping area like MPM should have better bike accommodations. Thanks for the improvements!

It's a common misconception. People think he was a gifted scorer just because he averaged 50 ppg and scored 100+ at times when they should have been basing their judgement on stuff like the arc of his jumper.
I go here when I want a list of skilled scorers. NBA All-Time Points Leaders - National Basketball Association - ESPN
Idk if it's fair to call him one. Compared to the likes of Hakeem and Kareem. Who was he scoring against? Dwight Howard could've scored 100 in a game in his era, IMO.
Wilt Chamberlain: Did He Really Play In a Weak Era? | Bleacher Report A really good read... I really think you under rate Wilt, and WAY over rate Howard.... Dwight shrunk against the physical def of the Pistons for years... can you imagine how he'd react to the bad boy's defense let alone the man handling that everyteam would dish out in the 60's.
My first draft of my team.... so much back and forth in my head its not funny PG. Isiah Thomas if he was 4 inches taller he would be the best PG in the history of the game IMO. SG. Michael Jordon nuff said (still hate him) SF. James (the one spot I would love to change and may with time) PF. Duncan C. Wilt Bench Rodman, Magic, Bird, Russell, Hakeem, West, Kobe
I think my personal squad would beat that team. C: Hakeem, PF: LeBron, SF: Kobe, SG: Jordan, PG: Magic. Hakeem and Wilt would be a good matchup. Kobe and LeBron would be a good matchup. Jordan and Jordan would be a good matchup (lol). Buut... 1) My team could iso-post Magic on Zeke all day, sad to say. While Magic could do a decent job guarding Zeke. 2) Duncan wouldn't be able to keep up with LeBron. LeBron would abuse him on the fast-break and from the perimeter. While LeBron, roughly the same size as Karl Malone - with much more athleticism - could probably do a decent enough job against Duncan in the post.
The Tazmanian Devil is not a power forward. He must play small forward. Do you have an agenda against winning?
None obviously. But you see the size of players he was going up against and it makes you wonder what he would be able to do in the modern age..
The article that Round posted is a good read: Wilt Chamberlain: Did He Really Play In a Weak Era? | Bleacher Report
I'd avoided that article earlier bc bleacher report is usually so bush.. That was too kind of still, but I certainly learned a little bit from it I guess. Still, some issues. The average height, he claims, of centers back then was 6-10 (He calls Bill Russell 6-10 right after than, and I've read that he was more like 6-8, 6-9 at best...which makes me wonder if that statistic is bs in the first place). Okay. I'm guessing that the average height of point guards then and now is about the same. So, a great point guard from then should still be great now, right? Most likely, no. The average NBA player now - tall or not - is just so, so, so much better now than back then, at the birth of basketball's popularity. The average 6-10 big man now is so, so, so much better now than back then. Just as in all athletics. Sure, maybe Wilt really is the most athletic true big man of all time. But there's a lot more to basketball than being athletic, or bench pressing a lot, or most of the things that article pointed out. Kareem and Hakeem, who I think are the most talented interior scorers of all time..what would they do in Wilt's age? If they were shooting better than Wilt's 50% at the free-throw line - the way those games are described in the article - they may have gotten 150 points in a game. Idk man. It's a tough call. I'm at the point now where I believe that Wilt is the greatest true athlete big man of all-time. I think he's probably the best defensive big man of all-time, and I think he's probably the best rebounding big man of all-time. He probably could play more minutes than any true big man all-time. He could probably run on the fast break better than any true big man of all-time. That makes him quite a candidate to be the best big man of all time period, for sure. But the best scoring big man of all-time, I'm not ready to give him. Are Hakeem and Kareem so much worse than him in those areas above that their better offensive games - specifically, free-throw shooting - not make up for it...or more than make up for it. It's interesting..
I am skeptical of wilts claims and the folk lore surrounding him. The bench press claims are exaddurated beyond belief. The women, ditto. He was great, but I'll take russell, whose claims are probably understated.
The difference in heights is spot on from the article though.... folks were measured barefoot, and loved to fudge there heights down back in the day. Now its in your shoes and fudged upwards. Would wilt average 50 in todays game, of course not. But he'd average 30 18 and 6 plus assists a game with 3-4 blocks I'd bet. Wilt also played against a much deeper league since there were so few teams the few big men he did play against he saw allot more often. How often does Howard even play against his physical match in todays game? He doesn't eat alive the below average centers like he should.
That's a very interesting article. Larry Bird always wondered how Wilt couldn't be considered the most dominant ever.
Shaquille O'Neil = Bob Lanier Wilt would run Shaq out of the building. If Wilt's team played Shaq's team every game over an 82 game schedule, Shaq would be in a wheelchair. Wilt would be eating steak.
Pretty good sampling of all his scoring methods in the link below... most of them anyway. Starts with the unstoppable post move from the left side of the lane where he spins right, fades away, then banks it with his one handed shot. This move would still be as unstoppable as Kareem's sky hook would be. Then they show multiple examples of just about every other move that he had. The move from the right side of the paint was strange, but effective. He'd reach out toward the free throw line with the ball in his right hand (back to the hoop) and would then flick it backwards, sort of like an inside out hook shot.... clearly you have to see it to understand what I'm talking about. The over-the-top of the defender post finger roll was also pretty crazy. Also notice all of the pass fakes. I'm guessing these worked and his big hands made it so that he could really wave the ball around Dr J style. I have no doubt that he would dominate today's NBA with one pre-season to acclimate if he had a time machine. The criticism that he was playing against inferior athletes doesn't seem accurate to me. Notice him torching Kareem in the video. Also consider all of his clashes with Russell, who is clearly one of the top bigs of all time on perhaps the greatest team of all time (i.e. not easy to score against). I'd take Russell on the intangibles, but wouldn't feel great about it. 51% confidence level that it would be the right pick.
Final edition for me...I think C: W. Chamberlain, H. Olajuwon, S. O'Neal PF: B. Russell, K. Abdul-Jabbar, D. Nowitzki SF: L. James, L. Bird, K. Durant SG: M. Jordan, K. Bryant, J. WestPG: M. Johnson, O. Robertson, I. Thomas HC: C. Daly, G. Poppovich

I love the save the date cards themselves but I was disappointed in the wedding invitations. The invitations looked to commerical and looked like a greeting card from a drug store.
Love the card, the design is great!
By Jolene

This is a Save the Date. The card stock is not flimsy & seems like it will hold up great. The only thing that I did't like was that because the text color was white, it didn't really pop off the card & I wasn't able to outline the text with a different color to make it really stand out.
loved it so much!

Mobile Learning and Multi-Device E-LearningWe are living in a multi-device world. We now have options to deliver e-learning to a wide variety of devices including desktops, laptops, tablets and smartphones. At Kineo we continually to look for new ways to deliver learning to modern learners on the move and on multiple devices. The development in smartphones and tablet devices such as the iPad are increasing the various ways in which learning can be delivered to learners, and we have been helping our clients take advantage of the opportunities they provide. What are the potential benefits?There are many benefits to delivering learning and support via mobile devices. These include:
Delivery options - Responsive E-Learning Design, Apps and MoreYou have a number of delivery options which will be influenced by the mobile and other devices you are delivering to. The typical platforms that learning is delivered to includes desktops/laptops, tablets and smartphones. The ideal solution if you are delivering to multiple devices is a single responsive e-learning design which adjusts to the screen size of the device. Thus you only have one version to track and to maintain and update. Resposnive design is very exciting and we have been leading the way in this area. With our reponsive e-learning design solutions you can design a framework that will reformat, resize and display different content depending upon the screen size the user has. Thus you don't need to sniff out whether someone is on a mobile device and direct them to a different version since the page will automatically resize. If you need to deliver to multiple devices then a single responsive e-learning design solution which resizes appropriately for any device is the most elegant and most cost-effective solution. You can read more on responsive e-learning design. You can also develop native Apps to deliver to different platforms but these tend to be device specific or you can develop a web app designed to work across all mobile devices using html 5 which operates in a similar manner to a native app. The new Financial Times web app operates very much like a native App when accessed by an iPhone or iPad. The new web app was built in html 5 and takes advantage of developments in the technology and various features available in the latest iOS version of the Safari browser including offline caching of stories, subscription storage, scrubber menus, smooth scrolling and navigation, action buttons and pop-ups. Rob Grimshaw, managing director of FT.com commented: "There isn't a single feature in the native app we haven't been able to replicate in the Web app." See our separate market update on the pros and cons of native v webapps. We develop:
What are the design considerations?Here are 5 quick tips for effective mobile learning design. You'll find these and more tips in our Top Tips section – now available as a Free Kineo App, of course...
Let us help youWhether you want an iPhone app or a web app we can help you. We are one of leading developers of mobile learning and support solutions. Our clients include mobile companies themselves such as O2 Telefonica. If you would like to discuss how we can help you please get in touch. You might also be interested in.. |

Sure there cheap to buy averaging anywhere from £2.50 to about £5, but then you have to get the film developed, that's about another £5. When you do get them developed especially if they have been used as a wedding disposable cameras, you find you have a great deal of pictures of your mates pints, peoples feet and other things you probably would have preferred not to have paid to have developed.
But then you might say what about the photos you would want to see. This is where the real problem lies, from our personal experience, and we used 16 of them on tables at our wedding reception the quality just is not good enough.
The disposable camera by it's sheer nature is throw away, it uses cheap throw away technology. Technology based on film that hardly any serious photographers still uses.
Look around the cheapest digital cameras you can buy are about £30 - £40, yet you expect great results from something you are paying 10x less for, get real it just is not going to happen.
A fabulous alternative is to get your guests to bring and use their own cameras, this way they are using high quality cameras that they are used to using.
Provide an online wedding album from us and your results will be much better quality photos, as we also provide all the table cards and guest information cards needed to make sure you guests know and understand how to use the service. Many guest have said our service was a real icebreaker when guests first sat down at the wedding reception..
If you still want to provide cameras on each of your reception tables then we offer the option to hire these from us and when they are returned to us we will load them in to your own personal online wedding album.
http://www.weddingphotoshot.com/a better alternative than using UK disposable cameras at you wedding.

text: The Ellesmere Chaucer is a beautiful and elaborately decorated manuscript of Geoffrey Chaucer's Canterbury Tales. Created between 1400 and 1405, it contains what is believed to be a portrait of Chaucer as well as miniature paintings of twenty-two of the fictional pilgrims who tell stories in order to enliven the journey from London to Canterbury. The manuscript is in excellent condition partly because it was undisturbed for about three centuries in the library of Sir Thomas Egerton (later Baron Ellesmere) and his family. The binding dates from 1995, when the manuscript was conserved and rebound to meet modern standards of preservation.Like most medieval manuscripts, the Ellesmere Chaucer was written on vellum, which was probably made from calfskin. The largest calfskins measured about two feet by three feet after they had been prepared for use. Such a skin would have made four leaves (or eight pages). Thus the Ellesmere manuscript took at least fifty-eight of the largest skins.

Snaking is when... A female (or male) performs fellatio on a group of men consecutively, then immediately repeats the process in reverse order. Whomever goes last in the first round goes first in the second round, and so on. The name is derived from fantasy sports, where a 'snake-style draft' is conducted in the same fashion. Person One: She gonna snake?
Person Two: Yeah let's put Mike last because he's a rapid reloader Person Three: Snaking is when... |
2. | snaking | ||
A technique used in various Nintendo racing games, namely F-Zero GX, Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, and Mario Kart DS. The technique consists of the player performing a drift-boost several times across a flat stroke of the racetrack (whereas you would usually drive in a straight line at a constant speed,) in order to get multiple speed boosts, thus going faster. The technique is relatively difficult to pull off, especially without banging into the sides off the track or running off the road onto grass/sand, etc. The technique is frowned upon by those who cannot perform it, because of it's overuse in online races. The name "Snaking" comes from the movement of a racer sliding back and forth across the track, which looks somewhat like the way a snake slithers. Jon: I just got my ass handed to me by a f'in snaker all over Mario Circuit!
Bac: Man, I hate those snaking bastards. |

For years, Bill Ahmann mastered the complex inner workings of piston and turbine aircraft as an aviation mechanic. In 1997, he finally achieved his dream by founding his own aviation company out of Anoka County-Blaine Airport. Initially a small venture with a staff that totaled three, Bill's penchant for providing aviation-related services with a personal touch led to rapid growth and a second Twin Cities Aviation location in Saint Paul. In 2008, Bill's veteran squad of flight instructors helped the company achieve Part 141 certification, distinguishing it as a reputable flight school. Today, TCA's staff numbers more than 20 industry professionals drawn from military, commercial-airline, and other aviation backgrounds. Flying a tiptop fleet, the team boasts varied expertise in charter flights, FAA-certified flight instruction, and aircraft sales. The staff's experienced mechanics also service pilots and plane owners with repairs that range from routine safety inspections to refueling propeller hats.

I wanted nice plump towels in pretty colors. When I use towels I want to be welcomed by them.You see, my idea of luxurious is a towel that caresses me like cashmere, soft like a teddy bear, and simply ostentatious to my skin. My plum colored towels were plush and vibrant right out of the bag and have remained the same after countless washings. These are definitely the kind of towels that I can find at the Four Seasons. I am abundantly pleased with this collection of towels and I plan many more to add to my collection.
Great bath towels made of rich heavy cotton. Beautiful deep dark color with nice hem along the bottom. Nice large sized bath towels and hand towels. I may purchase a second set of these towels.
Was please with the softness and the thickness of the face towels
I can only say that the chocolate colored towels are absolutely outstanding. Top quality texture and color, just as the chocolate colored "Bath Sheets" . I highly recommend these particular towels.
These are very thick, heavy big washcloths, however, I have arthritis in my hands and wrists and they are too much for me to squeeze out the water. I do love them though, just not appropriate for me.
towels are very thick and still as soft and thick after washing.
good quality highly recommended yipppppyyyy doodaaaday
Have trouble finding "good" washcloths and these are wonderful....large, soft, and very nice to put in your bathroom.
These were a pleasent surprise, much thicker than expected. Very nice.

text: Cyclists, casual and professional, have a unique relationship with their gear. They really depend on it day in and day out to get them where they need to be, and a bad piece of equipment can mean being stranded. This trust and dependency breeds a strong brand relationship between cyclists and their chosen brands — the kind of connection all businesses should aspire to create. We took a look at the timeline pages of four large manufacturers to see how they were fostering that relationship. We also pulled out some best practices that your business could take away from them.

McMenamins Old St. Francis School (700 N.W. Bond St., Bend) is known for its free Wednesday/Thursday shows that'll brighten your midweek faster than you can say "Cajun tots."
Next week is no different. Two solid out-of-town bands will roll through Father Luke's Room and try to make locals shimmy and possibly slosh their beers.
First up Wednesday is Jon Wayne and The Pain, a Minneapolis band with a taut, Midwestern take on beachy reggae, pop, rock and dub with an electronic twist. You can hear their most recent album, as well as the band's other releases, at www .jonwayneandthepain.com.
Then on Thursday, it's time for a visit from Brothers Gow, a band originally from Flagstaff, Ariz., but now based in San Diego. The group's music is an amalgam of funk, rock and improv, and its live show is boosted by Brothers Gow's custom-built light show. Trippy! Learn more at www .brothersgow.com.
Both shows start at 7 p.m. and both are free. To keep up with the music schedule at McMenamins, visit www .mcmenamins.com.

Cleveland OH
Old Photos and Panoramics of Cleveland, OH
One of our newest collections, we've gathered several photos of Cleveland's historical areas. Various shots of skyscrapers, old hotels, monuments, and railways.
About Cleveland
The city's situation on the lakefront helped it flourish as a center for heavy industry. As a halfway point for iron ore from Minnesota being shipped across the Great Lakes, as well as coal and being carried by rail from the south, Cleveland. Standard Oil was founded in Cleveland in 1870 by John D. Rockefeller, although the headquarters moved to New York City in 1885. Cleveland emerged in the early 20th Century as a leading American manufacturing center, home to numerous major steel producers, and automobile manufacturers.
By 1920, the city's economic prosperity had been catalytic in Cleveland's becoming the nation's fifth largest city. The city also served as a center for the national progressive movement, headed locally by populist Mayor Tom L. Johnson. Many prominent Clevelanders from this era are buried in the historic Lake View Cemetery, including President James A. Garfield, and John D. Rockefeller.

The day was beautiful; at least that's how it looked from Titan's Tower in Jump City. The way the sun reflected on the water, and the way the way the city lit up. It was beautiful. Phoenix, a relatively new member of the Teen Titans, stood out on the roof and watched as the sun rose. Today should be a good day, but she knew already that trouble always lurked in the city. She breathed in the air through her think, black, cloth mask and allowed her ever-changing eyes to watch the city with great intent.
The wind blew her hair a bit, and the breeze felt wonderful, but the female titan knew that there were things she would just never get used to. Like the sounds she could hear beneath her. Cyborg and Beast Boy were already fighting over the video game, and she couldn't help but to shake her head. She liked the outdoors and how the air felt, but the one thing that bothered her about Titan Tower was the fact that it was surrounded by water, and water was her enemy. She had learned how to deal with it, but she still didn't like the water being so close.
With another glance over the city, Phoenix made her way inside, bringing her long, raven colored hair into a ponytail as she headed down into the main room where she found nearly everyone sitting around. She didn't trust all of them yet, the one she trusted most was Cyborg, but even so it was because he had been the one who had found her. The one who had watched her burn through a few enemies, and he had been the one to back her up and recruit her. She was closest to him for that reason.
She had been with them for a month or two and was slowly warming up to the others, but the large circle on her belt began blinking as did everyone else's alert. "Who is it now?" her voice came as she watched Robin, Raven and Paleia coming into the room. This would definitely be the start of a day.
6 AM, and Robin was awake. He always was and it seemed that nothing would ever change him from his ways. He always awoke early to train and get himself some breakfast, but today seemed oddly more serene than the others. It was the first time in a couple of months that he hadn't awoke to hear a fight, though once Beast Boy and Cyborg got up he knew what would happen. It would be an argument, but that was normal. Since the additions of Phoenix and Paleia, the titans hadn't had a peaceful day until today.
He couldn't say it was odd, they had been the same way with Terra… And now she was gone. Everything had changed since then though, and being able to trust these two girl, these extraordinary girls, was a start for the entire team. He had eaten his breakfast before he headed into the gym they had and began beating on the punching bag. He had been going at it for a while it felt, but it was very light training. He heard the alarm go off and his belt began blinking, so he ran into the main room to find the others there.
"It looks like Gizmo, Jynx, and Mammoth. Titans, Go!" he exclaimed, and they all began heading to their respective places. This would be a cake walk. The villains in question were regulars to them anyway, and robbing a bank was their main goal at the moment it seemed, so they headed out, as always.
Dear Agony OOC | Dear Agony [IC]
For those whom I RP with:
I am currently on hiatus and do not know when I will return. Sorry.
Beast Boy was arguing with Cyborg over which one of them was winning in their current video game. Course, the two of them were always at it at some point in the day, so this was mainly routine. But over the last few weeks the fighting between the most stubborn of the Titans had become scarce because of the loss of Terra. She had meant a lot to BB, and losing her was the hardest on him. But that morning he wanted things to be normal ever since finding the two girls. Cyborg had found Phoenix, and Raven surprisingly found and was getting close to the snow white haired girl who was more quiet than the book worm, and that was saying something. Apparently the poor girl had a tough upbringing. Not that she would say much more than her father had raised her, always hiding and plotting something. Never a name, and Beast Boy was the most weary about her. What was it that she didn't want the Titans to know? It had been the same with Terra, but he hoped that Paleia, as she called herself or Mastra wouldn't double cross them. When Robin called for them to action he immediately got to his feet and followed the rest of the Titans looking over his shoulder to make sure the two newbs were going to follow.
Paleia had been found a few days after the loss of Terra by the Dark introvert named Raven apparently. She hadn't been a Titan long, and yet already knew all of their names and faces. Being in the darkness and background as they fought against her father had taught her a lot about this team. She had yet to decide if she wanted to trust these people, that would turn against her in a second if they knew just who raised her. And decided just to tell them a small little truth, and keep the rest to herself. If, and that was a big if, they won her trust....then....maybe. But she would have to wait and see. When the alarm went off she about jumped in the air not expecting such a sound to come from such an unexpected place, her eyes turning a sharp ice blue in shock, and went into a defensive position immediately, until Robin said something about some people named...Gizmo, Jynx, and Mammoth if she remembered correctly. Who...and then she remembered. Her father talked about that school for the bad guys. Her head was starting to hurt a little but shook her snow white head looking at the boy who could turn into any animal her eyes still an icy cold hue. She knew that Beast Boy didn't trust her. Maybe he shouldn't. But she still followed after Raven anyway thinking the strange Empathic could show her the ropes of being a good guy.
