It's been about a million degrees in New York, so I'm reading Rebecca Walker's Black Cool: One Thousand Streams of Blackness. Technically, I've been reading it since before the heatwave hit, but whatev. It's easier to think about Black cool than Friederich Schleiemacher – which is what I should be wrapping my brain around. And that's saying something. Because it's actually not at all easy to think about Black cool. Black cool is vexing. Henry Louis Gates, Jr. starts off his introduction to the collection of essays with the line
There are 400 million Black people in this country, and there are 40 million ways to be Black.
For real.
But what struck me as I read the collection is how often this idea of "masks" flows through the streams.
Rachel Harper, in her essay "Crazy" writes "As Black people we wear masks, some that say, I'm okay, I'm normal, I'm nonthreatening, and others that say, I'm strong, I'm invincible, I'm cool. We hide in plain sight." Helena Andrews in "Reserve," (this beautiful essay about the way black girls learn to build a wall of survival) writes of coming home from school to learn that her mother was in jail: "the first time I put on the mask…it felt good. I was cool. I had to be-to keep from falling apart." Andrews calls it "that steely look of detachment," "the side-eye, the B-girl stance, the nonviolent resistance of the civil rights movement, and the denial of emotion during slavery. Stoic reserve." The problem with the mask is that, if we're not careful, it can become a trap – a wall that we can't pull down.
As prominent as the mask is this idea of being comfortable in one's own skin. More than one essayist writes about the geek, the iconoclast, the eccentric – so uncool. Except, there's something about this being comfortable in one's own skin – what StaceyAnn Chin calls authenticity. Black style, Black hip, the break, Black blues, Black soul, Black jazz, Black punk, Black rock. Miles Marshall Lewis (named after Miles Davis and James Marshall "JImi" Hendrix) writes about evolution. Mile's evolution through jazz – hard bop – freebop – and pre-hip hop. Of Bitches Brew Marshall writes, "It (was) plain that Miles Davis was always going to do whatever the fuck he wanted." And "One of the coolest things about Jimi Hendrix," he writes, "is how he reframed racial identity by pushing the boundaries of what it meant to be Black. …Black Panthers gave Hendrix heat for conking his hair, idolizing Bob Dylan and the Beatles, and supposedly straying from his musical roots on the chitlin circuit with Little Richard, the Isley Brothers, and others. None of this stopped him from mastering rock and adding to its canon. …Hendrix was Hendrix, unconcerned with staying true to anyone's idea of Blackness but his own."
I love this. Evolution. Authenticity. Reframing Blackness. And then my ipod shuffles on Digable Planets. One of my favorite rap groups. Definitely not 'hard' and decidedly 'uncool'. Except – they know they are cool like dat! And they have one of the best, most comfortable lines ever. In "It's Good to Be Here," Mecca raps:
we love it where we're from, but we kick it where we at
it's so good to be here
That's the cool I'm feeling. Tethered to a legacy, but not bound by it. And comfortable enough in my own skin to just kick it where I'm at. And it is, indeed, good to be here.

I hope you have had a relaxing weekend.
Today I am back with a similar plaque to one I showed last week!
We had a really good day at the Street Fair I attended last week and I am pleased that my original Father plaque went to a new home. So I decided to make another one for a local shop that I sell in but with a few differences.
This time I went for a more distressed background look using a crackle effect...
I will be entering this project into the following challenges...
* Crafty Calendar Challenges - Father's Day/For a Male
* Countryview Challenge - Crackle
* Frilly and Funkie - Let The Words do the Talking
* Sweet Stampin' Challenge - Father's Day or Special Man
I started by preparing the MDF shape, drilling in holes, applying gesso then a coat of vanilla chalk paint. Once this was dry I painted on the Americana Décor crackle glaze, I decided I wanted to create vertical crackles so painted it on up and down.
This I left for a good half hour (at least) to make sure it was thoroughly dry and then painted on some blue chalk paint, being careful not to overwork it. The final coat was a satin varnish to protect the cracks...
The stamps are both from a set by Creative Expressions although I cut the lighthouse away from the rocks and cliffs and created extra rocks to make my own scene. These were all coloured using Spectrum Aqua pens then coated in glossy accents.
The clouds and birds were stamped and then heat embossed (both from stamps by Leonie Pujol) and the sentiment was cut out using a die from Justrite...
The final piece was put together using glue gel and some wire added to hang it with.
I really love the words on this sentiment and the fact that it does not just need to be for Father's day.
I will be back tomorrow with another project that was created for the last Leonie Pujol stamp launch.
Have a lovely day,
Jane x

January 1st - Oak Bay (#1)
I went out for a short paddle in the F1 to get the paddling year started! It is so easy to pick it up and head to the beach. I decided to head down to Oak Bay and the marina and spent some time checking out the boats there. Lots of people out on the beaches and quite a few out in boats.

The Ultimate Low Budget Travel Guide (Part 1)
So you dream of an epic adventure, want to travel the world or just take a two-week-vacation on the beach? The good news: A good portion of creativity and out-of-the-box, nontraditional thinking, will allow you to go on the trip of your life!
Traveling might be a privilege – I agree with that – but it is not a luxury. Traveling does not (necessarily) mean spending exorbitant amounts of money on super expensive airfares and hotel accommodations. There are many budget-friendly options that you can take that would still allow you to get to your dream destination. So if you think you can't afford to travel, think again. Read the following guide, and before you know it, you'll be off to the destination you've always planned on going, while still keeping within your budget.
I collected more than 50 tips and tricks that I picked up through years of traveling on a tight student budget. I started exploring the world when I was only sixteen. Back then I didn´t have a glue on how to save money. I was literally blowing my dollars unnecessarily, but just didn't know any better. I wish somebody had given me the advice I am about to give you now for free.
While writing down my advices for you, I noticed that I could probably write a book about low budget traveling. So I decided to split this post in the following parts:
Part 1
Getting there – Saving on airfares
Saving big on accommodation
Transportation – Getting around for little (or no) money
Part 2
Eating – Make smarter choices
Currency and Credit Cards
Communication – Cut the cost
Part 3
Activities that don´t cost an arm and a leg
Make money on the road
Let´s get this thing started (and you on the road)!
The Ultimate Low Budget Travel Guide
Part 1: Airfares, Accommodation and Transportation
Getting there – Saving on Airfares
Plan ahead – Many people fall into the trap of waiting until the last minute to book their travel, thinking they'll get a better deal. This is a myth. While this might have been true 6 or 7 years ago, current trends show that prices rise the longer you wait, as seats become scarce. I recommend you to book at least 6 weeks in advance!
Sign up for travel newsletters – No one likes to clutter up their inbox, I understand that, but by signing up for mailing lists from airlines and travel companies, you'll be able to get updates about all the last-minute sales or special deals happening.
Find the cheapest flights – Two of my favorite global search engines are Skyscanncer and Momondo, which I use as a baseline. Both search booking sites as well as discount airline carriers for the best deals. For the US I would recommend taking a look at Travelocity, but there are tons of good aggregators around the world.
Fly on budget airlines – Budget airlines like Norwegian Air, WOW, and Air Asia fly cheaply from the US to Europe and Asia. Norwegian Air flies from both US coasts to Europe for as little as $150 one way, and from Europe to Asia for as little as $200 one way. In Asia, Air Asia has flights for $20 one-way around the region and $150 one-way onward to Australia.
Experiment with alternative airports – You'd be surprised by the money you could save simply by flying out of a nearby airport.
Always look into round trip tickets – Sometimes, one way tickets are so expensive that the round trip ticket is cheaper. Just don't use the return trip. I know this is weird, but I did this myself a couple of times already! Flying from New York to Berlin for $500 or taking the round trip for a total of $440?! Eeeeh… Come on!
Be a little flexible with travel days – Many prices are based on supply and demand, so sometimes it's much cheaper to leave a day or two before instead. Look around the dates of your travel plans and see if spending an extra day is worth it. Also: Tuesdays and Wednesdays are often the cheapest days to fly, so you can save hundreds just by changing your travel schedule.
Try booking at different times – Online sites sometimes have rates based on the time and day of the week you book. Try different combinations and see if you can get a better deal.
Go off season – Everyone wants to go to the beach in summer. Consider going on vacation in off-peak times. It's cheaper and less crowded.
Travel light – Airlines are starting to charge for everything now and if you have 2 bags or more, expect to be charged for it. Remember to not use over sized bags whenever possible and try to keep it all within one bag per person.
Carry it on – If you can skip heavy baggage, do so. Most airlines charge for baggage, and extra if it's overweight. If you can get all you need into a carry on, you'll save a lot on the fees for checked luggage. Consider packing old clothes, that you can leave behind without tears. This way, you can keep one luggage and still have room for purchases. I have reduced my luggage to a carry on no matter where and how long I travel. It did not only save me a lot of money, but is also way more practical! Less time and energy wasted on heavy luggage!
Saving big on accommodation
Build a network on Couchsurfing – The online network Couchsurfing can help you make friends with locals and get free accommodation when you do travel. Yes, your heard right – for free. Sometimes you get a room, sometimes a couch, sometimes an air mattress, but it's always free. The challenge: If you are using it for the first time, you might not get many responses. After all, a person with no reviews isn't an appealing candidate to hang out in your apartment. So before you go away, sign up for Couchsurfing, find a local meet up on the website or on Facebook, and attend. You'll make friends, be added to people's profiles and create a network you can utilize when you actually look for a place to stay.
Because of the rise of the sharing economy in the last few years there are now websites that let you not only stay with locals but share rides, meals, train tickets, gear, and much more! These website not only save you a lot of money but they also get you off the tourist track and into the local life. Win-win!
Use Facebook to find a place to stay – Old friends and friends of friends are often people who will warmly open their door to you — so get connected with people from your past and present, and cut out all that expensive accommodation. Yeah, it might cost you a dinner and a few drinks, but thats it! And again, since you're living local, you won't feel like just another tourist!
House-sit – Watch someone's house while they go on vacation. You can sign up for one of the sites below and watch people's homes for free, allowing you to stay in one destination for a while and get to know it well without having to pay for accommodation. Added bonus: you get a kitchen to cook your food (which saves you even more money!!!) I actually just completed my first couple of housesits this year and was very fortunate! At one point I had a whole villa in South England to myself, including two adorable puppies! Let me know if you have made similar experiences and tell me about your house-sitting story!
You might also want to check:
Sleep in large dorms – I became an expert at choosing the right hostel. This one saved me lots of money: Large hostel dorm rooms are the cheapest paid accommodation out there. If Couchsurfing isn't your thing, this is your next best way to save money on a place to sleep. Though I also recommend you to take a good pair of ear plugs… You can thank me later 😉
Use sharing economy – You can find cheaper accommodation, funny tour guides and rideshare options using sharing economy websites and apps! Moreover, you will meet locals who know where to find great deals. They know which supermarket is cheapest, which stores offer the best sales, and where to find the restaurants and bars with the tastiest food at the lowest prices. These websites have changed the travel game and made travel more accessible for everyone.
Here are some of my favorite websites:
Airbnb (find accommodation)
BlaBlaCar and Lyft (share a ride)
EatWith (meals)
Getaround (borrow a car)
Staying in a town next door – While checking for cheap accommodation, consider staying in smaller towns close to where you are going. They might have hotels that are much less expensive. If you don't mind the 15 minute ride, you might just save that bundle.
Transportation – Getting around for little (or no) money
Welcome to public transportation – Do as the locals do, and catch public transportation everywhere you go. Tourist usually take taxis since it's the laziest way to get from point A to B. Consider the subway or buses because it's sometimes easier and it is much cheaper.
Use search engines – Rome 2 Rio is a great transport search engine! They'll tell you how to get to your destination by all transport methods and tell you which is the cheapest!
Night trains, buses and flights – If the transportation is going to be long, consider traveling at night to save money on accommodation. Many people have a tough time sleeping on these, but it's all a matter of practice. Once you get used to it, you will be able to have a good night's rest. If flying is too short for you to take advantage of sleeping while traveling, take a bus ride. When you are sleeping, you won't mind that the bus ride is 9 hours.
Driving is not bad – Want to take that 1 hour flight? With airport security and all the hassle of airport inefficiencies, you will end up with a four hour experience and might as well drive there. It takes just as long and it's less expensive.
Hitchhike – A free way to get around destinations that is relatively safe and quite common in many parts of the world, including Central America, Eastern Europe, and Australia. Hitchhiking not only saved me money, it also spiced up my travels, allowing me to experience things that I could never have planned or dreamed of.
This was Part 1/3 of my ULTIMATE LOW BUDGET TRAVEL GUIDE! If you liked it or have more ideas on how to save a boat-load of money, let me know! I would love to hear your ideas!

Hobby Farms is must-have magazine for rural enthusiasts. Hobby Farms embraces the growing segment of the population that is returning to farm life in search of a more meaningful existence. Article topics include livestock husbandry, sustainable agriculture and crop growth, equipment purchasing, successful small farms and agricultural events.
Just renewed for another year for our daughter and her family. They sure do enjoy the many articles from so many others offering up their experiences.
Hobby Farms is a one of a kind magazine and a leading publication when it comes to farming. Articles cover all aspects of farming. I've found great and useful advice on growing, harvesting and planting and tips that I have not found anywhere else! I especially enjoy the personal faming stories sent in by readers. Having a subscription to Hobby Farms is like having my own community of people with my same lifestyle or at least sharing an affinity for the rural life I love. Further, Hobby Farms is simply a fantastic resource as issues offer profiles on livestock and breeds. I always learn something new each time I get an issue in the mail, and I am always blown away by the magnificent farming photos that reinforce my love of life on the farm!
WOW!! i sooooo love this magazine!! It has nice full color photos and is just wonderful..I LOVE IT!!!
I have read many a magazine until now. I love hobby farms! I would of never thought that I could have learned so much from one magazine but the articles are very informative. I have always been a city slicker (as we are called) with the dream of owning my own 'farmette'. Last November, my husband and I did it! We bought 25 acres and have been gathering information on how to start it since. Between my farmer friends and your Magazine I have learned and gathered information to help me start and run a successful 'farmette'. Thank you and Keep up the good work! Sassy68 in Virginia

RMIT Research Repository
The RMIT Research Repository is an open access institutional repository managed by the University Library.
What does the Repository collect?
The prime role of the Repository is to promote the peer-reviewed research outputs and publications produced by RMIT University staff and higher degree by research (HDR) students. The full-text of these research outputs are made available where possible.
Up until December 2015, the RMIT Research Repository sourced records from those that were reported and verified for both the Higher Education Research Data Collection (HERDC) and the Excellence in Research Australia (ERA). As the collection of research publications data for HERDC was discontinued at the end of 2015, records will only be sourced from those reported and verified for ERA from January 2016 onwards.
Records and the full-text of Masters by Research and Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) theses are also collected from 2006 onwards. Older Masters by Research and PhD theses are available where a formal request has been received by the author to have their print theses digitized and added to the repository's theses collection.

If you have one party game in your game cupboard, it should be Cards Against Humanity (CAH). The irreverent game is easy to play and laugh out loud moments are practically guaranteed within just a few minutes of opening the box. One of many cool things about the game is that it's published under Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike. That ridiculously long string of words means anyone can make their own cards for the game, they just can't sell them. The license leaves the door wide open for parodies and Conventional Improv, a comedy group, has made a deck based on Doctor Who.
Cards Against Gallifrey came about because the comedy group performs a game show based on CAH and they made a Who version in honor of the 50th anniversary. The 72+ card deck features a ton of quips with names, creatures, and a lot of inappropriate references. In other words, it's perfect. You can download the entire deck for free at Drop Canvas. I can't wait to see the card combos from this version pop up on Instagram.
Check out more funny examples after the break.

FAQ'S & Reviews
Will My Sensors Work?
Do my gauges require voltage stabiliser?
Ammeter or Voltmeter?
Ammeters measure electrical current (in Amperes) flowing through a circuit and therefore are wired in series with the load.
Voltmeters measure electrical "pressure" and are connected across a circuit…
What information is required to recalibrate my Speedometer?
To ensure that your speedometer reads accurately when fitted to your particular vehicle, we will need to calculate the required "revolutions per mile"
For calibration of a new instrument, or recalibration of an existing instrument, we will need you to provide the following information…

Easter Radio
Tuesday, February 13, 2018 - 09:10
The Bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Yei has discouraged the youth from spending night in discos and clubs, describing it as a useless waste of time.
Erkolano Lodu Tombe says youth should concentrate on serious issues facing their communities and the country at large instead of engaging in trans night dances. Easter Radio reports
He urges the youth not to waste time on small issues when other serious concerns are taking place.
Bishop Lodu urges the young people not to move to night discos because it will spoil their brain.
The Bishop made the remarks at Christ the King Cathedral on Sunday in Yei.

The UK NSC recommendation on Developmental dislocation of the hip screening in newborns
Find general information about population health screening.
More about Developmental dislocation of the hip
The hip is a 'ball and socket' joint. The top of the thigh bone (femur) is shaped like a ball and fits into a matching cup (acetabulum) on the outer side of the pelvis. Various problems can affect the baby's hip as it develops. Sometimes the ball does not lie safely in the socket and is displaced from it: this is what is meant by dislocation. Sometimes, although the ball is in the socket it can slip in and out of place. This is what is meant by the hip being dislocatable. Sometimes although the hip is in the socket it is not deeply in place and we call this hip 'subluxated.' Finally in some children although the hip is in the right place the socket does not grow properly and is too shallow. If the hip socket is shallow this may allow the ball to move from the position it should occupy.
1 to 2 in 1,000 babies born may have a hip that is dislocated at birth. A slightly larger group of children have hips which are not safely in the socket or in whom the socket is shallower than it should be. In general girls are more likely to be affected than boys. The left hip is more often affected than the right.

Life Upgrade Expanded
I had a great time on the Life Upgrade Expanded course in May. It was wonderful to finally be able to attend and meet lots of new people (and old friends). The weekend was uplifting and inspiring however not without its uncomfortable moments. But then thats what Life Upgrade is about; deal with those discomforts so that you can feel better, more free and in touch with your intuition. After addressing those uncomfortable feelings I left the course feeling an amazing sense of peace, which was better than I could have ever imagined.
Since then other discomforts have surfaced as I go about my day-to-day life and I know I need to use the tools I have learnt to address those too. Interestingly that peaceful feeling, although now passed, does not feel too far out of reach, if I keep using Life Upgrade tools I know I will be able to reach it again (hopefully for longer next time too).
Bristol Centre of Reproductive Medicine (BCRM)
I had the privilege of talking at the BCRM in June, it was a very enjoyable evening. I met people who are going through some really challenging times, who were very inspiring in the ways that they were coping with their stress levels. Interesting topics came up during the evening one of them being should those trying to conceive drink alcohol?
My recommendation is always to cut out drinking in order to give your pregnancy the best chance. However if you do find yourself having a glass, feeling guilty about it and beating yourself up thats not going to do you any good either!
My aim is to support clients to achieve their best chance of conception, that means getting mind and body in tip top condition, drinking is not a part of that. Its about addressing the feelings that make you want that drink in the first place (or feel guilty about having one) as there is likely to be underlying issues which need resolving. Life Upgrade as a system is effective in addressing and resolving those issues.

I know, luka. me too.
*clings to you for company*
We call that a struggle snuggle.
struggle moar~
That feel when no one will jump into cold water to save you from sinking.
rapist luka
Just pee in the water to make it warm
That doesn't save you from the sinking.
*presses the button*
No, but you'll be warm at least.
You will perish into the deep void forever with your last thoughts knowing that you could only ease your passing.
Sounds like the best any of us can hope for.
what is this from
Do I want McDonald's or Taco Bell for breakfast?
I hoped for better.
draw moar pics! now that u have a shiny new fresh photoshop.
i wanna cute anime girl pic pls
not in the mood to draw
egg mcmuffin is better than taco bell breakfast. I prefer taco bell over all though. if you feel like splurging those mcgriddles are pretty amazing.
a full healthy breakfast with omega eggs and protiens bacon suasage and uh... good stuff
or just some.... Taco
fuck now I want mcdonalds.
that's ok ^ ^
maybe one day..
me 2
I was under the impression that Canada is an English speaking country.
u rite
I do wish the mcgriddles were cheaper.
But I think I'mma go with Taco Bell.
I've never been to a taco bell, we don't have those in a lot of cities in sweden.
I should see if the bike my ex left had working tires.
not a bad choice even with the superior mcmuffin not being an option. all depends on what you're in the mood for I suppose.
this is unfortunate. they are amazing.
How much you like Taco Bell's lunch menu is partially dependent on how much you like "nacho cheese".
Multi lingual !
do they?
its the go to place if you're craving diarrhea
checking would mean getting up. I don't want to bother doing that until mcdonalds is open anyway.
i think they are like open an hour early here at 5 or something
otherwise maybe you need to wait an hour? ;~;
yeah I double checked, the one near me opens in like 4 minutes. I don't know if I should bother though. I have no idea how much riding a bike will hurt my back.
I don't like McDonald's.
you'll live~
*pats gently*
go get yummy warm tasty meal
of eggs and hashbrowns and stuffs with that perfect sausage!
I'd eat at a diner if fast food wasn't cheaper and faster. I like it well enough.
this is not uncommon for people with working taste buds. most of their stuff is hot garbage.
yeah, I suppose I should see if I can handle it. would be nice to have short range travel opened up as an option again.
back in a bit.
I can't afford diarrhea, the bank even denied my diarrhea loan.
good luck ♥
food is food
Rem and Felt count pls
leg day
Ice pack on knee
Sup again fam
This I can understand.
Whenever I've worked fast food, I just ended up eating our food for dinner because it was quicker to get that on the way out.
So I hear constantly.
I took a break last night to watch the next episode and go for a walk.
I like to go at my own pace, so don't rush me and it'll happen faster.
No I just wanna know how much you got so far
Take as much time as you need
I'm still only 10 minutes into Episode one, so I just have bits from Felt running across the rooves and through the alley.
What's wrong?
Maybe some day, I'll try this mysterious "Taco Bell".
Which is just tortilla chips and cheese? Seems plain.
Sounds healthy.
No, they put nacho cheese on some burritos and tacos. I like it.
What's nacho cheese?!
How is it different from regular cheese?
You want yo food taco?
pffffft dun taco to me i nacho friend anymore
when you find out nacho cheese isn't what it's called
Isn't it usually cheddar?
Another american fake "food" invention, much like the Twinkie pretends to be a spongecake when in reality it is made of the non-compostable souls of innocent.
Looks like plastic.
It likely is
I like eating twinks as well, does this make me america?
Nacho cheese is a cheese sauce. Even at room temperature it's a liquid.
Cheddar cheese is actual cheese.
Only 95%
I am America and so can you
Oh, you were talking about the disgusting stuff that likely isn't even cheese.
Not the actual cheese people put on tacos.
Why do they do this? Because it's cheaper?
Don't be worried, I think they have developed resistance!
I'm only poking fun, I have a few things too where I know it's not good yet I eat it.
Some people like the taste, as well as the texture.
I am one of them. I won't pretend to be cultured.
Thanks Cap!
back doesn't hurt much more than normal after a two mile bike ride.
my legs wish they were my arms so they could strangle me though.
I hope Mordin doesn't actually believe there's inedible stuff inside of nacho cheese.
If I didn't have poor impulse control I'd likely try to be a vegetarian, but I guess my moral compass loses out there.
Sudden temptartion for poutine.
Not even canada
what even
I like to believe that it's fine if I only do it on occasion.
It actually worries me, like can I be sure this won't give me cancer or something?
Sounds promising.
I have no idea what's in it!
everything can give you cancer these days
breathing air gives cancer
Is it bad that I like this one?
Please don't give me cancer.
Considering the pollution and matter in air. Yes.
I make no promises.
Buy a poutine and eat it.
I worry I'll die of prostate cancer sometimes, because my grandpa did. Luckily, I don't mind the exams.
Why does english have so many words, yet there aren't any good ones to distinguish maternal grandparents from paternal ones?
I am Cancer, btw. :^)
I'm having a hard time finding out how they do it commercially, but it's essentially dehydrated and rehydrated cheese with some flavoring and coloring ingredients. You know, a little bit of spices and vinegar and stuff.
You must be cancer, because you're growing on me.
Luckily, I don't mind the exams.
My joke was 'cos I'm a Cancer.
flavoring and coloring ingredients.
Yep, it's cancer.
so smooth.
Born to die.
Everything you eat has preservatives. It kills the bacteria, and also you.
What a time to be alive.
Preservatives preserve humans! (the more of it you eat)
That is...
not what they're for.
At all.
I can be when I want to be.
Oh right. I still thought mine was pretty good.
We must start making our own food!
then why would they even call them that, rin? use your head.
That was bait that time, I believe.
It was smooth.
But I was deflecting because I didn't know how to respond if you were being serious and also I have a boyfriend.
Because they preserve foods.
I should hope even Theseius isn't that retarded.
But given her track record, I have low expectations.
no bully :(
lonely... :(
Oh yeah I was just being funny. There is already someone I like.
Oh, right, Sobo.
You should date him.
hungry... :(
Kek, sure.
brb fuelling up
*grabby hands*
Cupcake, if I cosplayed Miru, would you give me huffs and tuck me in for bed?
I suppose.
I am thankful you showed me that you suck at cooking guy, though.
Miru is this girl.
why are you mean to me though? :\
very cute.
She only ever wears those PJs.
Alternatively I could cosplay Irisu for you.
I think I'm meaner to a lot of people than I am to you.
I do really like that outfit with the bunny ears. like the girl from is the order a rabbit.
either would be nice. both are cute in their own way. both would get huffs and nighttime tucking in.
what do you have to gain in general by being less than courteous to people in general?
I always find it odd that I'm the target of these questions from you.
I think most people would tell you I'm a fairly magnanimous person.
Irisu's bunny maid headdress can't be removed.
Idk if it's been determined if she's a lop-eared bunny or if it's just magic.
I'll guess bunny, because it is cuter that way.
I feel bunny would make the most sense.
Considering she totally outright molests and/or rapes Erina.
There's a joke about rabbits and sex drives here.
you're the target because i see you as more... open?? or uh someone who can think? i dunno.. a responsive possibility person.
you are, but...
she sounds like a class act.
more open
It happens off-screen, and it left vague.
But you know she was totally touching Erina in indecent ways.
And Erina didn't mind it.
Then this happens,
and they sleep together in the chaste sense.
But just not quite nice enough, right? Some level of joking is meant in good fun, you know, not cruelty.
Anyway, I'll be back later.
I'm not sure why I like yuri as much as I do, considering my preferences. I guess it's just how cute it is.
less so in real life, where lesbians have the highest rate of domestic abuse out of any possible couple pairing.
Belts don't mean anything in terms of sparring tho
mutually agreed teasing, sure.
anything produced by buzzfeed means nothing regardless of content.
smarter is better
i bet you eat red meats and chow down on protien shakes
just To get over-burly~
jk jk
That 12 year old kid isn't smarter than them :c
she has Know ledge
they don't
and she studied good!
Do you think this is a game?
a video game!
pew pew
defeated ur belly
What have you done...
slow clap.
Is it dead in here?
made u fit
more or less.
Almost as dead as your soul, goggles.
time for skyrim and post
Imagine if Megaman Battle Network were metal?
Help. I need to get out of bed but I don't want to because I need to do busy stuff but I just want to play no mans sky.
go do the busy stuff so you don't feel guilty or distracted when you play one man's lie later.
i'm thinking about nomanssky
i wanna play!
The sooner you get your busy stuff done the sooner you can come home and play No Man's Sky.
Should I remove everything but the hands in
Why did you both tell me the exact opposite of what I want to do ;_;
if you think it's worth the effort. I think it's fine as it is. I have bits of subaru in some of my caps, after all.
why did you ask for help if you didn't think we would tell you what you should do, instead of what you'd rather do?
Get out of bed or I will take your game away Goggles.
Friends don't let other friends suffer.
Because being responsible when you should be makes it more rewarding to be irresponsible when you can be..
Do it, you little bitch.
You getting it?
friends are honest with each other. obviously you can, should, and will do what you like. you asked for advice, it was given.
That game is going straight back to the Gaben store.
Yeah i Torrented it. played almost a full day of it so far
fun for me
Good times. It worth getting?
scoot do you even scoot
only if you have money to burn.
It looks like scooting, but he's actually doing a crab walk, technically
TBH I wasn't interested from the get go. But figured its worth an ask.
if you are interested in, flying around space
crafting things
inventory management
and exploration
and all of that randomness thrown around with a bit of minecraft mining.
then sure it's you game :)
The chances of you running into another player are
actually can't.
Yes Luka, that's the point since they devs lied and said it was possible.
when you pause with a character in the middle of changing expressions.
that's how you get some of the best expressions.
I thought threads weren't worthy of you being cute.
I'm naming that image "Rin," I don't even care.
my little pony was particularly susceptible to this. lots of unintentionally sexual looking expressions thanks to pauses at the right moments.
They lied.
They aren't worthy of my kindness and selflessness. I never said anything about being cute.
How is being cute selfish and malevolent then?
I have a file named rin, as it happens.
heard that one before..
Delete this.
Emilia is a shit.
Even if she came up with a good line.
and this of course.
are you also taking a cap of these without the text?
question answered as asked.
no deleting. emilia is alright.
I'm just being me
I am not paying attention to what I am doing
I more meant the fact that it's named Rin.
it is incredibly unlikely that I will ever post it again.
when you are done with the felt folder, I would also like it, by the way.
because I like felt a lot. I thought that was something I already mentioned.
don't judge me.
I was talking about the folder, actually.
I hate how all her scenes are in these dark places.
yeah, a bit of a bummer. still adorable.
Does this count as a smug?
without the text, yes.
yeah I just went back and saved it, actually.
I dunno if actually being a smug would make her cuter or not.
It's hard to tell.
Natural instincts then, curious.
-tummy rubs-
she's about as cute as can be regardless.
Felix cutest
Reinhardt is obviously best girl, though.
well yeah, of course. looking forward to more of her.
these are pretty good felt caps, by the way, rin.
Felt is becoming a motivational poster
wasting time is my one, genuine talent.
no more
I can only purr so much
I'm actually not super confident about my capping when it comes to anime, so it's actually nice to hear that.
Rip Felt's motivational inspirations.
Felix best gril
keep up the good work.
the cock makes it better.
where is that girl from? she looks cute.
This girl?
Hm, right. I remember the last time I made you purr too much.
Sorry. -tummyrubs anyways-
I'm back.
yeah. she's really cute. doubly so because she's definitely a girl.
Welcome back.
>danganronpa is one of my favorite games
>what is a joke
Does this count as smug?
only very slightly. if you made a smug enough post to go with it, yes. on it's own, not really.
Pink blood was a surpisingly huge turn off for me, along with the really ugly character designs.
Knock it off you deplorable faggot. I'll choke you to death with my tail.
It was gonna be something to the effect of
he doesn't know
it would work in that case. the other smug would be better though.
I liked the pink blood. every choice in that game seemed to really help the juxtaposition of humor and truly horrible things happening.
I welcome death.
-pets down your back and strokes your tail with my fingertips-
It wasn't really that horrible since most of the characters were also horrible.
I liked them. over the top works in games like that.
I guess it does if people liked it.
I for one like over-the-top ham and cheese in my media.
That was for you yan
looks sketchy gonna delete this
I wonder who that was for.
I suppose we'll never know, since there was no post linked.
Hi moogi.
Obviously it was for me.
How could you, Neko, you're so rude.
Wow, just slapping Rin like that.
He probably has a boner now too, how inconvenient.
I would not get a boner from hitting anyone
It's the other way around
halfway into bargain and chill she makes this face
Did I fuck it up?
Why do I get the hacking up a lung image with my hello?
Rin these are great holy shit.
Rude neko is rude.
Someone ought to give him a spanking.
im not putting much thought into it
I need an adult
Yan is making me uncomfortable
How thoughtless of you.
Especially considering you plan to give me cancer.
youre doing it to yourself
i cant be blamed
I blame you very much.
Credit where credit is due.
the fucking comments on the arrival trailer
Murph, its me! Im in the shell!
The alien is Harambe trying to communicate with us
They're building an inter-dimensional space containment orb around us, and are making us pay for it.
I will call the lolice
Don't try anything stupid
Who else can be blamed for making me want a smoke?
Clearly not Hitler or the Tobacco Industry or Squash.
probably squash
I don't really feel like petting you anymore anyways.
Kinda gay tbh.
I still blame you for the blood I vomited this morning.
i told you not to feed on that girl and youre not a real vampire but nooo
Rin are you decent at shooping?
Please replace the potato chip in this gif with a blunt.
lol weed XD
I was hungry and I wanted to make you breakfast.
You say after you already violated me
That was years ago and you keep denying it happened anyways.
a sausage mcmuffin would've sufficed
I have no idea what you are talking about
Oh that's just like you to want fast food after I slave away over a hot stove and a human corpse to make you a nice home-cooked meal.
again youre blaming me for things i have no control over
Then I didn't violate you I guess.
Do you ever get a mcgriddle and a chicken biscuit, and then put th chicken between the mcgriddle and put a little syrup on it?
no i get a dollar menu sausage mcmuffin
which is why i asked for a fucking dollar menu sausage mcmuffin
I was raped
Raped with pets
There's only one thing worse than rapists.
a child.
Neko, don't make me rape you.
A child who rapes?
It's habbening
Well with that attitude I don't know if you're getting anything.
Don't be a fag.
There really needs to be a food place that's open past midnight that's not fastfood.
What did I do? .///.
those better not be your fingernails. clean those fucking fingernails.
You were rape-able.
pic related
They're not mine.
It's from a news article.
They're testing thear out in Ohio.
the person from the news article should be very ashamed.
This is no fair. How do I become unrapeable?
I think everyone here should be pretty ashamed of themselves given the larger picture that goes beyond fingernail hygiene.
oh damn
not really anything you can do about it at this point.
you aren't really wrong, I suppose.

I love living in Oregon. One of the cool things about where I live besides breathing fresh air, drinking clean water, tall mountains and trees is that Oregon has lots of breweries. And seriously good breweries… Hand crafted IPA's, wheats, amber ales, darks, porters, lagers and the list goes on. I can think of at least 5 microbreweries within a 10 mile radius from my home.
What I have learned is that a really good beer makes a really good beer bread. The problem is making that choice to sacrifice a couple of your favorite beers for baking bread. My Whole Wheat Beer Bread is so good that you really don't have to think too long and hard about making that tough decision. My Whole Wheat Beer Bread is ridiculously easy to make and tastes absolutely wonderful. Makes 1 tasty loaf. Enjoy! Tessa
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 1/2 cups beer (20 ounces)
- 1 Tbs olive oil for drizzling
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9 X 5 pan. Mix all ingredients except the olive oil in a large bowl, mixing dry ingredients first then adding the beer. The batter will look like really thick pancake batter. Add mixture to the baking pan and drizzle the top lightly with olive oil. Bake 60 t0 70 minutes until a beautiful golden brown. Remove from oven and place on wire racks to cool. Slice and serve with sweet cream butter.

A year later, a physician in Newcastle who had heard about Gros's work, contacted him about a three-month-old patient who was gravely ill and dying. The infant was suffering from an infection following a perinatal BCG vaccination. She had been treated aggressively with antibiotics but relapsed with additional infections. In addition, she showed a complete absence of circulating monocytes and dendritic cells in her blood – two critically important types of immune cells. She was admitted into an ICU and it seemed nothing could be done to save her.
The clinical aspects of the infant's immuno-deficiency were so strikingly similar to those of Gros's earlier mouse model findings, that his research team investigated the human IRF8 gene for the presence of mutations in this infant. Gros group also examined IRF8 in a number of additional clinical cases of disseminated BCG infection following vaccination.
What they found were two distinct disease-causing mutations – one that causes the severe reaction seen in the infant (autosomal recessive) and requires stem cell transplantation, and the other that causes a milder form of disease (autosomal dominant).
These findings point to a critical role for IRF8 in the development and function of monocytes and dendritic cells and in protecting against mycobacterial infections like TB in humans.
According to Gros, the infant received the much needed stem cell transplant that ultimately cured her. Based on the team's research, her doctors were going to transplant her with one of the parents' cells as they were found to be a perfect match. However, when the team learned that the father was carrying one copy of the dysfunctional gene, and knowing that such a situation is deleterious in mice, the physicians opted instead to graft her with an unrelated donor.
"I think this is a great example of the 'discovery pipeline' we have tried to set up at the Complex Traits Group lab," said Gros. "This began as basic research. It evolved from genetic discoveries in mouse models through to validation in humans and knowledge translation to a positive clinical outcome."

It wasn't the work she minded, she'd always believed that work was a good thing. There's nothing quite like the satisfaction that comes from a good day's work; she'd always loved tidying up her desk at the end of the day, filing a few stray papers; returning the last emails, and scheduling tomorrow's calls.
No, it wasn't the work.
It was the atmosphere of the place. She'd joined this company a few weeks after it was started, and had enjoyed watching it grow and become successful. But somewhere along the way, things had changed. She remembered staff meetings where they'd gleefully posted pins in a map to represent new installations; the champagne brunches to mark milestones reached ahead of schedule. But now, the owner had lost all joy in their success; he was afraid of losing what they'd created.
He haunted the halls, listening to conversations, stirring up suspicions, upsetting the kids in the mailroom with his tantrums. Senior people began to disappear; one at a time at first, and then in droves. She didn't want to leave the nest; she wanted things to be the way they were, even as she carried the last box to her car.

Village of Sauk City and Baker Tilly outsourced team's trusted relationship
Client need
Baker Tilly and the Village of Sauk City, Wisconsin have worked together for more than 35 years. Most recently, the outsourced accounting services team was brought on to assist the village with a variety of financial services including entering payables, summarizing payroll and performing month-end reconciliations. Our team also provided budgeting assistance, audit preparation support, state report preparation and consulting on general accounting questions.
Baker Tilly solution
Due to the large amount of work, the village recognized the need for an additional position and created a new role on their finance team. With the newly created position filled, Baker Tilly serves as outsourced accounting consultants reviewing accounts payable coding, performing month-end reconciliations and providing advice on changes that the village contemplates making to their accounting system.
By utilizing Baker Tilly's outsourced accounting services, the village was able to justify the creation of an additional position to help with finance activity. The village anticipates having the Baker Tilly team remain active in the budget process and audit preparation service in the future.
"The Village of Sauk City has worked with Baker Tilly for more than 35 years. Our long-standing relationship is a testament to the trust and comfort we have with the firm. Their team is always available to us, they help evaluate our situation, identify opportunities and provide recommendations on how we can improve our operations. We find their professionals to be knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating. We value our relationship with Baker Tilly."
– Vicki Breuning, Administrator
Village of Sauk City, Wisconsin

Spouting Nonsense - the very first Spoutly is awarded to Brian Tracy
After watching the Emmy Awards on September 22nd, and hearing about the latest Nobel Prizes, I've decided to start handing out an award to those who spout nonsense. It is called a Spoutly.
Brian Tracy has cranked out a cartload of motivational books. On October 7, 2013 he posted a two-minute YouTube video on how to Overcome Your Fear of Public Speaking that says:
"According to the Guinness Book of Records, 54% of American adults rank public speaking ahead of the fear of death among life's major fears."
That claim sounds specific, authoritative, and references a well-known publication. It is hard to refute conclusively, given that he didn't bother to identify which year or edition it supposedly came from. (When I looked in Worldcat I found that the 1994 version for The Guinness Book of Records was the 40th edition).
A caption on that YouTube video invites you to go to his web site and download a free chapter of his 2010 book No Excuses: The Power of Self-Discipline. On page 109 of that book it instead says:
"According to the Book of Lists, 54% of adults rate the fear of public speaking ahead of the fear of death."
Why doesn't the reference in the video match the one in the book?
On June 6, 2011 I blogged about How to recognize a fictitious statistic, and noted that claimed 54% does not really appear in the Book of Lists (which instead says 41%). It is a ManBearPig statistic - half man, half bear, and half pig. Mr. Tracy also had made the same claim on page 42 of his 2008 book, Speak to Win: How to Present with Power in Any Situation, which also warned on page 19 that:
"Poor preparation before an intelligent, discerning audience automatically downgrades your credibility - your ethos."
On January 1, 2013 I blogged about That mystical 54% of adults who fear public speaking, and noted that on a CD in a set called Public Speaking Survival Kit he had said:
"Everyone grows up with a fear of public speaking. In fact, according to surveys and the Guinness Book of Records and the Book of Questions and Answers, 54% of adults fear public speaking more than they fear death. That's how much there's fear for public speaking."
When I looked in the current Guinness World Records 2012 book at my local public library I found no index entry for either fear or speaking.
The spouting whale for the Spoutly is derived from the Arms of Baron Ackner.

I would love a day bed like the one here. This looks like a very relaxed sitting room--I guess my little loveseat will have to do for now with brown windowpane plaid.
What a great office. Betsy Burnham in LA has a fantastic workspace with a ton of books and a green tartan pillow! Pillows are versatile and you can change them out when summer comes and you want something lighter.
This is from Hank Azaria's house in AD and the drapery is Sandra Jordan! She had the best line of plaids but I can't seem to find them online. What a cozy office meeting room...for poker games.
As I used to work in a lighting showroom, I loved to see which fabrics designer's used on lampshades. These are very seasonal and the great thing about lampshades is that you can switch them depending on the season! From Living etc.
Ahhh, my favorite house in Newport RI. John Peixinhos's home is a constant inspiration to me. This is such a simple entry and I love the plaid next to the elegantly worn oriental rug. From HB.
Autumnal tablescape! I love the lavender and maize plaid blanket used as a table cloth here. Great idea.
Speaking of tablescapes, Eddie Ross designed this gorgeous Thanksgiving table. This is making me even more excited for Thanksgiving. The unexpected and non traditional Thanksgiving colors make this table really stand out.
Are you going to add some plaid to your home this fall/winter? When in doubt, you can just add a pillow or a tablecloth. In the image above, the pillow is a green silk pillow with a huge plaid ribbon tied around it. That would be great decoration for a holiday party. Can't wait to decorate for our first holiday party!

Singing Tesla Coil
"This is a solid-state Tesla coil. The primary runs at its resonant frequency in the 41 KHz range, and is modulated from the control unit in order to generate the tones you hear... So just to explain a little further, yes, it is the actual high voltage sparks that are making the noise. Every cycle of the music is a burst of sparks at 41 KHz, triggered by digital circuitry at the end of a "long" piece of fiber optics.... What's not immediately obvious in this video is how loud this is. Many people were covering their ears, dogs were barking..."

P. bought a whole-house dynamically enhanced structured water unit and had her plumber install it. Her comments to me today:
The unit was installed Tuesday, and we're loving it! Is it possible to OD on water? It's interesting the different effects that is has on different bodies. My husband is delighted that it seems to be "clearing him out" while it's the opposite for me. I've been feeling kind of bloated and uncomfortable, but I figure I've abused my poor body for the last 60+ years and it will take a bit of time for it to acclimate. My skin feels much smoother and is not flaky, so for that I'm happy. I think in May, I'll take the kidney cat back to the vet for a blood test to see how he's coming along. He's certainly been more active and sociable than he was before.
…Looking back on [the meeting I attended] I think I did have more clarity last night. On the way to the meeting, I did one of Jim Self's exercises to get me in the right dimension, but during the meeting, and didn't get bogged down in minutia, which is not my norm. I also told a lady who was running for state assembly and the county sheriff that their time was up (in a respectful way, of course) and they, as well as a couple of other folks told me at the end that I run a great meeting. Go figure.

Rapper/actor Bow Wow is unfazed by reports he's a wanted man after a Georgia judge released an order for police to arrest him on sight over the weekend.
The Like You hitmaker, real name Shad Moss, is charged with being in contempt after failing to obey a 2009 Tennessee court order demanding he hand over almost $100,000 to a tourbus company to settle an unpaid bill.
The firm's bosses took the case to Georgia, where Bow Wow now lives, to enforce the order and a judge recently told state law officials to take the star into custody until he could produce documents and information regarding the case.
The 24 year old, who has yet to be arrested, is due to perform in France on Tuesday and Bow Wow is confident the legal news won't interfere with his tour plans.
The defiant rapper took to Twitter.com on Monday and posted a screen grab from one of his films, depicting him sitting in a jail cell, alongside the caption: "Been here before…. Haha".
He added, "All i know is im (sic) on a World Tour and i gotta sold out show in Paris France tomar (tomorrow). All they (sic) doing is making my album gain momentum."

Like many people, I'm a bit Sherlock mad at the moment. The second series of the BBC series has just started here in the UK (well, the final episode airs on Sunday), so I thought I'd do a post on Irene Adler's character from episode one, "A Scandal in Belgravia". Irene had a femme fatale style, so I couldn't resist.
Thankfully I found a site called Wear Sherlock which is dedicated to identifying all costumes and props shown in the series, so here I am, shamelessly stealing their information. I hope they don't mind. Their site is a fantastic treasure trove and I highly recommend that you visit it.
Going by the prices of Irene's clothes and bits and bobs, like all the other characters in the series, she obviously has very deep pockets, especially for her phone. These things ain't cheap, but would we expect any less?
Phone: Vertu Constellation Quest smart phone £17,300 / $26,835 (LINK)
Shoes: Christian Louboutin Big Stack 120 pumps £495 / $763 (LINK)
Dress: Alexander McQueen 'Illusion' Sheath Dress £1,112 / $1,725 (LINK)
I love this dress. I'm not the biggest fan of Sarah Burton's work but this is gorgeous, sophisticated choice by the costume designer. The faux bolero adds a military and slightlyVictorian feel while still being very contemporary.
I was quite taken by Irene's make up so I took a few screencaps. It's a bit of a modern film noir look - foundation, blusher, a very subtle sweep of grey eyeshadow through the socket and winging under her eyes, mascara, aqua eyeliner instead of typical black, and red lips.
These make up suggestions are just what I would choose to get this sort of look. The BBC make up team probably used liquid eyeliner but ho hum. This eyeliner looks very like liquid eyeliner, but has the bonus of being a pencil. Happy days.
The eyes reminded me of Mermaiden's recent tutorial for Anna Karina's make up in Une Femme est une Femme, 1961.
Milani's Liquif-Eye Metallic Eye Liner in 'Aqua'.
Chanel Rouge Allure lipstick in 'Passion' is a appropriately siren-esque colour. A bit of a darker and blue-ish shade than this red shown above and a much closer to whatever was used in the series.
I've since spoken to the wonderful Megan Cumberwire (for that is her name) and she suggested Mac liquid or gel eyeliner in 'Aqualine' and an alternative by GOSH which is a bit cheaper - Extreme Art Eyeliner in 11 Aqua which "is identical".Thanks Megan!
Oh, and the Irene's riding crop is apparently the same one used by Sherlock in the mortuary in series 1.
Mark Todd Braided Leather Riding Crop £33 / $51 (LINK)
At last! Something affordable and useful!
Thanks again to Wear Sherlock. Bookmark/follow that site!

While this is not a regular Excel tip, but it is about Excel. In my Excel BI Tips series, I am always looking for ways to build Excel dashboards or do BI work with Excel that will help everyone. In this case, I am going to discuss a new feature in Excel 2013 and Office 2013 and some of the drawbacks we discovered while trying to bring dashboards into production on SharePoint.
Excel Apps, What Is That?
With the introduction of Office 2013 and SharePoint 2013, Microsoft added the capability to create apps that can be used in the various Office applications to provide enhanced capabilities. I was most interested in the ability to bring in new visualizations in Excel that could be used for creating dashboards on my projects. One of the key advantages of using them, was that they worked when deployed to Excel Services in SharePoint without installing anything on SharePoint.
Here some examples of visualizations I planned to use.
Gauges by DataVis Design
People Graph by Microsoft
Modern Chart by Microsoft
Bing Maps by Microsoft
There are a number of other visualization options that are free or for some charge as well as other functions. You can find more of them and more information about Office Apps here.
Initial User Experience Is Poor
After getting a couple of these visualizations in a dashboard over the period of a couple of weeks were were ready to deploy the dashboards for user acceptance. Each user who opens the dashboard will have to clear the following install message from each app when they load the dashboard.
While not a "big" deal for savvy users, this is really an unacceptable user experience for less savvy or less patient users. Furthermore, this could easily turn into a support nightmare as each new user is likely to call or email support regardless of the amount of instructions provided. Given that some of our audience was likely going to be executives, we determined that this would not work for us and would actually reflect poorly on our project.
Ongoing User Experience Issue
So, if you decide to move forward with these apps, you dashboard can look pretty good. However, this brings up a more long term issue. Each of the visualizations created have one or more settings buttons that remain visible, even after deployment. For instance, the gauges have a "gear" and a "question mark." One the first requests we got from power users reviewing the dashboard was to hide them. As far as I can tell this is not possible. Next, the question was "why doesn't the question mark contain information about the metric being displayed?" Great question, but the question mark is there to provide information about the gauge not the content. Once again, users don't need that information. These issues reinforced our decision to remove them from our executive level dashboards and not recommend their use in other dashboards.
Concluding Thoughts
I am not sure if the problem lies in the way the apps were created or with what Microsoft has enabled in the API designs. In the end, these visualizations need to have a "deployment view" or something similar that will hide all this as well as deploy cleanly for end users. These apps do provide some cool visualizations that are not readily available elsewhere, but they need to be cleaner or more elegant for use in general dashboards deployed in SharePoint. Understanding these nuances will hopefully help you make the better decisions about dashboard design in Excel with Office Apps.

Riders can easily stay connected with family and friends, both in and out of the peloton, with the Edge Explore 820's numerous connected features including GroupTrack, which allows cyclists to easily keep tabs of everyone in their group should they get separated. To help create a safer riding environment, both devices are compatible with the Varia™ cycling awareness line and include built-in incident detection.

With the Edge Explore 820 riders can easily keep in touch with others in their pack.

Additional mapping features include bike specific navigation from the devices coming preloaded with Garmin Cycle Map for turn-by-turn navigation, round-trip Course Creator and on-device course planning. Built-in GPS, GLONASS and altimeter provides the most accurate ride data so cyclists can know how far, fast and high they have ridden.

Additionally, the devices' integrated accelerometer for incident detection automatically sends a rider's location message to emergency contacts if assistance is needed. The device is also compatible with ANT+® sensors, including speed, cadence and heart rate.
The Edge Explore 820 is ideal for riding no matter the weather conditions. Both devices feature a 2.3-inch high-resolution, capacitive touch display that is quick and responsive – even when wet or used with gloves – and the Edge 820's ambient light sensor automatically adjusts the screen's brightness so it's easy to read at a glance.
Connect IQ™ compatible, users can customise the Edge Explore 820 by downloading free apps and data fields. Users can also stay connected while out on a ride via incoming smart notifications, including incoming calls and texts from a compatible smartphone.

We at USA Baby Franklin are excited to begin carrying The Honest Company diapers. We only bring products into our store that we can stand behind and believe in and The Honest Company is certainly no exception. It was started by actress and mom Jessica Alba who worked with Christopher Gavigan, founder and Chief Product Officer, to create a company that provides non-toxic alternatives for in-home products like diapers, home cleaners, body washes and laundry soaps.
The Honest Company diapers are one of their most popular items and we know our customers will love them! These eco-friendly diapers still do their job so you can be kind to the environment without needing to do additional clean up work! Here's why we (and everyone who tries them!) love The Honest Company diapers:
- You won't find any chlorine processing in these diapers. Both the inner and outer layers are made of plant-based materials – sustainably-harvested pulp – and are also free of harsh bleaches. Plus, the Honest Company diapers are never tested on animals.
- They're gentle and non-irritating for sensitive skin. They contain no fragrances, lotions or latex and only use natural citrus and chlorophyll odor-inhibitors. So even the most allergy-prone baby won't get irritated skin from wearing these.
- They fit well! They have comfortable stretch side panels and soft re-fastenable tabs for wiggly babies. And their securely-fitting moisture barrier cuffs prevent leaks and blowouts which is a frequent complaint of parents familiar with eco-friendly diaper brands.
- They're adorable! We'll be carrying the mustache, giraffe and cupcake designs in-store so your baby will always be fashionable – even without clothes!
- Honest Company Diapers fit all babies. From newborn sizes to size 6, we've got all the sizes you'll ever need from tiny baby to potty-training toddler.
We consistently hear and read positive reviews about The Honest Company and are excited to bring their products to Franklin, Tennessee. Stop by USA Baby Franklin to learn more about The Honest Company and their products.
