This week the Discovery Channel is holding 'Shark Week', showing programmes all about some of the world's most feared creatures.
Diving into ARKive we have come up with some of our favourite examples of these elusive and often endangered animals.
Open wide!
Listed at the top of the Discovery Channel's 20 Largest Sharks, the whale shark is indeed the most gigantic of the lot. Growing up to a colossal 12 metres in length, it is the largest fish species in existence. Despite its size, however, the enormous whale shark is known to be docile, only dining on plankton and small fish by filter feeding.
The amazing hammerhead
One of the better known shark species, the great hammerhead is a ferocious predator, feeding on stingrays, crabs, squid, and a variety of other animals. Despite this, it is listed as Endangered, largely due to capture for shark fin soup. There is an urgent need for conservation efforts to try and save this species.
Unusual shark species
As one of Discovery's Top 10 Quirkiest Sharks, the spotted wobbegong hardly looks like a shark at all. A bottom dwelling shark, this animal is most active at night, searching for prey to sneak up on. This stealthy species has big teeth and powerful jaws, so probably best not to get too close!
Mighty great white
Of course, a lot of the programmes in 'Shark Week' are about the most feared predator of the sea, the great white shark. An incredible species, they have an acute sense of smell and are able to sense electric fields through sensors in their snout. Although a popular species, little is known about the behaviour of the great white and due to its deadly reputation, conservation efforts can be hard to initiate.
Getting a bad reputation in the press
Sadly, this fearsome image of sharks seems to have been exaggerated by the media. Despite many being well adapted predators, on average there were less than 5 fatal human attacks a year by sharks in the last decade. If you compare this to the estimated 73 million sharks killed every year by humans, it is clear to see that the deadly, man-eating perception of sharks is more than slightly skewed.
Thankfully, many conservation efforts are under way. An example is the island nation of Palau turning 230,000 square miles of ocean in its territorial waters into a protected shark sanctuary.
Hopefully Discovery's shark week will help further raise awareness about these amazing creatures, and the need to protect them.
Explore more images and videos of sharks on ARKive.
Let us know what your favourite species of sharks are!

Cosmo's home!
I put off posting this because I didn't want to tell the big secret of the day before my sister got a chance to tell it. It occurred to me, though, that no one is reading my blog, according to the counter, so it doesn't matter what I say here. So here it is: Cosmo is home! Bay will be telling the whole story in her blog, so I'll just add a little link here to the most recent installment in the story. She hasn't written the conclusion yet, but I'm sure she will tonight.
What with all the worrying about Cosmo, I got to thinking about how many times birds have touched my life. One of my earliest memories is hearing an owl in the woods behind our house in Decatur, Georgia. My mother showed me the magic of birds in our back yard later when we moved to Social Circle -- I still remember her excitement when an indigo bunting came to our feeder. When I got older I got George, a mynah bird. After George, there was Georgia, a green-cheeked conure. Then Noah, an African grey. Then Kito, another African grey. One of my last gifts from Mama is a figurine of a bluebird.
They're beautiful creatures, and my life would be emptier without them.

I'm always purchasing different items, so I thought it would be a good idea to share my thoughts on my purchases. And what better place to share my opinion than my blog...
I know your saying "lip balm again!", but I really have an obsession with dry lips. I'm striving to find that perfect lip balm that's not too waxy or greasy, a nice pleasant scent, is good for my lips, and doesn't contain nut oils.
I was searching for a gift for a young (she's 19) friend of mine and decided to buy her a lip balm holder like the one I have (Lip Balm Pouch). Of course, I didn't want to give her the holder empty, so off I go to find some lip balm. I always search for coconut lip balm because I just love the smell of coconut (can't stand to eat it though), that's when I found Country Blossom. This store offers a variety (lots of variety is very important to me) of lip balms, lotions, candles, soaps, etc. The prices were good also. I was attracted to the coconut peach flavor. The first thing I look at now (because of my BIG mistake with purchasing my last lip balm) is the ingredients. I looked at the entire page from top to bottom. After my close, almost anal inspection, I purchase two balms, coconut peach for me and strawberry lemonade for my friend.
My friend said her gift raised her status to "super cool" because none of her friends have a cute balm holder and yummy strawberry lemonade balm. You gotta love kids!

God of the Troubled
Genesis 21:8-21; Romans 6:1-11
Rev. Dr. Baron Mullis
Morningside Presbyterian Church
June 22, 2014
What a wonderful week it has been in this building. I'm not an animist who believes that buildings have souls, but if our building has a soul, what good this week must have done it. This was Melinda's tenth VBS, and what a wonderful week it has been.
The building has been buzzing with the sound of children all week long. They have been in and out of the ark – if you haven't seen the ark, come downstairs after church – it's worth a visit!
We had all the creeping, crawling things in the building this week.
It was great to see Will come back to Morningside with the highland cows and sheep and goats on Thursday in the petting zoo.
But they had reptiles in the fellowship hall on Wednesday.
I was not in the office on Wednesday morning.
In fact, in the staff meeting when it was announced that there would be reptiles in the building, I said to Melinda, "I want you to take a surgeon's approach to this… you know how they count the implements and sponges from surgery at the start and the finish… you count those snakes in and you count those snakes out."
What a wonderful week it has been. There were children all through the building and in the front yard and on the playground.
I love it when it's like that.
I love what summer brings out in the church – we seem to relax just a little – when it's appropriate, the staff dress down just a little, you might see some shorts.
And I love summer afternoons too – the heat makes it just a little lazy – it's the right time for sipping on some lemonade and sitting by a cool pool, and sometimes in the afternoons a thundershower forces us to slow down just a little bit more, even, to stay out of the rain and it breathes a little of the electricity and humidity out of the air.
It's such a great time of the year that I think the lectionary is positively perverse in putting this utterly hideous story in front of us.
The stories of this week and next are hideous. They are ugly and they are provocative – and they are stories about children, which means they hit us at an elemental level.
But they are part of the Bible and they must be dealt with.
What's more, each story, in its own way, tells us something profoundly important about God. They speak to God's immanence and God's transcendence.
When theologians seek to speak of God, there are a variety of ways in which God can be described. Often, generally, we speak not of God's attributes, but of God's perfections.
An attribute can have a shadow-side, but a perfection is that which cannot be improved upon.
We say that God is eternal, all-good, all-knowing, all-present, and almighty – these are some of the perfections of God.
But each of them fails us in understanding how God relates to us and so there are these two words that capture just a tiny bit of how God is in relation to us.
The first word is immanent.
The second word is transcendent.
When we speak of God's immanence, we are speaking of the reality that God is nearer to us than our very breath.
When we speak of God's transcendence, we are speaking of the reality that God is not just like us only better, but rather, completely and wholly other.
And so in the middle of summer the fine folks of the revised common lectionary, the list of readings that we use to arrange our study of the Bible so that we read the same texts as many of our Christian sisters and brothers on a given Sunday, has thrown us a curve-ball.
In all the lightness and joy of summer, we encounter these two ugly stories of human interaction – and children - that tell us something – however unsatisfyingly – about God.
This week we read the terrible story of how Abraham cast out his child into the wilderness – and of God's nearness to them.
Next week we will read the horror story of Abraham's near sacrifice of his other son on Mt. Moriah.
This week we will see God's nearness.
Next week will see God's otherness.
Both are deeply important as we seek to know God inasmuch as we can.
But make no mistake about this, this is a hard story.
Hagar's story is a terrible story.
It is a story about disenfranchisement.
It is a story about male dominance over women.
It's the story of the dominance of a woman of power over another woman.
It's a story about jealousy and treating human beings like disposable commodities.
It starts like this: Hagar was Sarah's maid.
We don't know much about Hagar before learning that she is Sarah's maid.
This was not a low-wage job so much as it was a no-wage job.
By this time, Abraham had acquired considerable wealth despite being a nomad. We have no idea how Hagar came to be Sarah's maid. Was she the youngest daughter of a poor relation? Possibly. Was she kidnapped on a raid of a neighboring nomadic clan? Possibly. Had she been sold into slavery to pay the debts of someone to Abraham?
We don't know. We don't know any of this.
But we do know that she was Sarah's handmaiden, which puts her in a place of some intimacy and status. Not just anybody got to be in that close of proximity with chief's wife.
But we also know this: Sarah and Abraham used Hagar.
When God called Sarah and Abraham to leave all they knew and go to the place God would show them, God made a promise – that they would enjoy land, progeny and blessings.
But Abraham and Sarah did not trust the promise. They had become old and Sarah was infertile.
So they cooked up a hare-brained scheme, or so it must seem to us, to conceive an heir for Abraham.
Abraham and Sarah used Hagar as a tool in their procreation scheme. A child born to a handmaiden of the mistress's husband could be seen as the progeny of the master.
And so Ishmael was born.
Hagar had some unforced errors here too – she used the birth of her son to taunt Sarah for her barrenness and it was a source of pain and heartache between them.
But so the promise seemed to be sealed: by Sarah's handmaid, Abraham had a son.
But that wasn't the promise that God had made. God promised that Abraham and Sarah would have a child despite being in their nineties at the time.
When the messenger announced to them that in fact, God intended that Sarah should bear a child, she was listening at the door and so incredulous was she that she burst into laughter.
And it was decreed that the child would be named Laughter to remember her disbelief.
And little Laughter was born – Isaac, in the language of his parents – and then Sarah's scheme with Abraham to produce an heir had thorns in it…
Laughter and Ishmael would have to share.
At one moment, Abraham's heir seemed to be a distant cousin in Damascus, and the next he had two.
But Sarah only wanted one heir. Sarah was jealous of Ishmael and decided that he must go.
And to Abraham's credit, he agonized over it – and God knew it.
But even still, it came to pass that Abraham and Sarah cast their slave Hagar out into the wilderness with nothing more than a canteen of water.
What an utterly horrible story.
What an utterly inhumane story.
And yet, the dynamic of powerful over the powerless is a story as old as time itself.
The first story of broken human interactions in the Bible is the story of Cain overpowering and murdering his brother Abel.
The use of power to overpower another is less than what God created us to be.
Let me spell this out so it's clear: God created us to be human. To be human is to live a life of mutuality, love and respect. When we act in ways that use power to exert an advantage, to exhibit unloving behavior and to disrespect, we are less than human.
Let that sink in just a moment.
That's why I don't buy the statement, "You're only human," when someone behaves badly, sins with impunity, because being human isn't what makes us sin. Sin is when we're acting less than God wants from us, less than God created us to be.
I'm not going to start connecting dots here, but you can think about that when you're doing business – Jesus Christ isn't just the Lord of the Sanctuary, Jesus Christ is the Lord of all life… there's nothing we do that is outside of God's grace – and there is nothing we do that is outside of God's judgment either.
That's right. When we do wrong by someone, it's wrong.
That applies to your finances, friendships, romantic life – when we violate that relationship of love, respect and mutuality – it's sin, it's wrong, and it's less than God created us for.
So Hagar and Ishmael are cast out into the wilderness with just one canteen of water between them, and I can't think of anything much more troubled than that.
Hagar pulls away so that she won't have to witness the death of her child.
It doesn't get much more troubled than that.
There is a thread of theology called liberation theology.
Liberation theology is a product of the Catholic church in Latin America and Gustavo Gutierrez is one of its chief proponents.
As a movement it is political in how it sees faith and most notably, liberation theology claims that God is on the side of the oppressed.
God is on the side of the poor.
God is on the side of the troubled.
When God encounters the troubles of Hagar, God acts.
Indeed, throughout the pages of the Bible, God's righteousness is been exercised on behalf of those who are powerless and unable to care for themselves.
If you've ever heard the expression "God helps them that help themselves," let me quickly tell you that you aren't hearing the Bible, you're hearing Benjamin Franklin.
No, the message of this story of Hagar in the wilderness is that God helps them who cannot help themselves.
The doctrine of God's immanence tells us that God is nearer to us than our very breath – however closely we love and however intimate we may be with another human being – God's love exceeds our own because when we speak of the Love of God, we are speaking not of love in its imperfection, but in its very perfection.
And as such, God's love always goes where it is most needed.
That means that God is the God of the troubled.
Whether that trouble is self-imposed, as it so often is, or whether that trouble is imposed by someone or something more powerful forcing its will upon someone weaker – as it is so often is.
When something or someone overpowers another, there is no question where God is.
But here's the thing about God's love: it's not a zero sum game.
God doesn't have to love me less to love you more when you need it. And neither does God's love for you wane when someone else needs more love.
Because when we speak of God's love, we are speaking of the perfection of love.
But I have to tell you a hard truth about God that we all need to hear: God is everywhere, but because God's attributes are perfections, that means that God is most where God is most needed.
And that is where we will find God when we need to.
So let me say once more that hard message of faith: we all have the promise of God's presence – the doctrine of immanence reminds us of that –
But if we want to see God, and feel God, and know what and where and when God is working, then we need to remember where to find God: in the most troubled places.
That's it. That's the Word of God for us this beautiful summer's day: if we would find God, then we must go where God is.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, Amen.

text: A very nice session today. I'm quite pleased with the output. But the real surprise was after the session, when models usually run away. Geoffrey sat outside with us, and dived into the pleasures of alcohol & tobacco. Drinks in hands, we talked about a myriad of things. His traveling adventures, my blog, the inability of frenchmen to fluenty speak a foreign language. Later on, a thought rose in my mind. Our next session has already started, my next drawings of him are already in progress. But from the inside out this time. Quite a character he is, poised gentleman, polyglot, ex royal navy, master diver, cigar afficionados... He could have said 007 I would have believed it, but he prefered to qualify himself as...

The epithet Nīlakantha ( nīla = "blue", kantha = "throat") refers to a story in which Shiva drank the poison churned up from the ocean world. As per Hindu mythology, the most vicious and venomous poison was created from the sea when Devas (Gods) and Asuras (Demons) churned it in order to obtain Amrit (the nectar of immortality). This poison started to kill both sides.Both parties prayed Lord Shiva to help. Shiva being the supreme one chose to consume the poison. His consort Parvati who was alarmed, stopped it in his throat with her hands thus earning him the name Visakantha, (the one who held poison in his throat). The poison made his throat turn blue. Hence he is also known as Nīlakanta. (the one with a blue throat).Gosaikunda lake is believed to have formed from the digging of the land by the Trishul (holy three-pointed spear, similar to the western trident) of lord Shiva after he drank the poison from Samudramanthan(act of churning) and desperately wanted cold water to quench the overwhelming heat of the poison.
Adam's Apple is a familiar anatomic feature in the front of the neck that is due to the forward protrusion of the thyroid cartilage, the largest and most prominent cartilage of the larynx..The thyroid cartilage tends to enlarge at adolescence, particularly in males. Enlargement of the Adam's apple is considered to be one of the secondary gender characteristics. It is usually said that Adam's apple takes its name from the biblical story about Adam, Eve. the serpent and the apple. A piece of the forbidden fruit stuck in Adam's throat and created the anatomic Adam's apple. So the story goes. However, it may be wrong. Adam's apple in Latin is "pomum Adami." This may have been a mistranslation of the Hebrew "tappuach ha adam" which also means male bump. Between Latin and English there's many a slip. The medical term (which is rarely used) for the Adam's apple is "prominentia laryngea" (prominence of the larynx).
As kids undergo growing pains, their bodies and minds go through tons of changes. One change that every kid can count on is lots of body parts growing and changing shape. Almost every part gets in on the growing action, including the larynx (say: lar-inks). Another name for the larynx is the voice box, and it's in the throat. The larynx is what gives you your voice, whether you're talking, laughing, whispering, singing, or screaming! You can find your larynx by touching the front of your throat and humming. When you feel vibrations under your fingers, you've found it! When the larynx grows larger during maturity, it sticks out at the front of the throat. This is what's called an Adam's apple. Everyone's larynx enlarges as we grow up, but a girl's larynx doesn't grow as much as a boy's does. That's why boys have Adam's apples. Most girls don't have Adam's apples, but some do. It's no big deal either way. The larger larynx also gives boys deeper voices. Actually, girls' voices get a little bit deeper as their larynxes get larger, too. But because boys' larynxes grow so much more, it makes their voices deeper than girls' voices. The larynx doesn't grow to its new size overnight, though. If you've ever heard a teenage boy's voice sound squeaky, you've heard a larynx trying to get adjusted to its new size!

New book by Pedro Serrador published in CRC's Best Practices and Advances in Program Management Series
17 November 2014 – Florida, USA – CRC Press has announced the publication of a new book titled Project Planning and Project Success: The 25% Solution, by Pedro Serrador. Published in November 2014 by Auerbach Publications, this new book defines the optimum planning levels for project success, covers planning for Agile projects and explains how traditional projects can benefit, and examines how personal planning time relates to success
According to the CRC release: Project planning is generally accepted as an important contributor to project success. However, is there research that affirms the positive impact of project planning and gives guidance on how much effort should be spent on planning? To answer these questions, this book looks at current literature and new research of this under-studied area of project management.
The author presents his findings from an extensive review of project planning literature that covers more than 270 sources. He also discusses new research that analyzes data from more than 1,300 global projects. The book confirms that the time spent on planning activities reduces risk and significantly increases the chances of project success. It also concludes that there can be too much planning and shows that the optimum ratio of planning to effort is 25%.
Pedro Serrador, PMP, ITIL, P.Eng., MBA, PhD is a senior project/program manager with more than 20 years of experience. He is a teacher, writer, speaker, and researcher on project management topics. His specialties are studying aspects of project success and managing technically complex and high risk project consulting engagements.
He holds an Hons. BSc in Physics and Computer Science from the University of Waterloo, Canada and an MBA from Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh, Scotland. He is an accredited professional engineer in computer engineering and has been a PMP since 2000. He holds a PhD in Strategy, Programme & Project Management at SKEMA Business School (Ecole Supérieure de Commerce de Lille).

THINK ABOUT IT #18: Nancy Jo Sales
Mobile dating went mainstream about five years ago; by 2012 it was overtaking online dating. In February, one study reported there were nearly 100 million people –– perhaps 50 million on Tinder alone — using their phones as a sort of all-day, every-day, handheld singles club, where they might find a sex partner as easily as they'd find a cheap flight to Florida. 'It's like ordering Seamless,' says Dan, the investment banker, referring to the online food-delivery service. 'But you're ordering a person.'
The comparison to online shopping seems an apt one. Dating apps are the free-market economy come to sex. The innovation of Tinder was the swipe — the flick of a finger on a picture, no more elaborate profiles necessary and no more fear of rejection; users only know whether they've been approved, never when they've been discarded. OkCupid soon adopted the function. Hinge, which allows for more information about a match's circle of friends through Facebook, and Happn, which enables GPS tracking to show whether matches have recently 'crossed paths,' use it too. It's telling that swiping has been jocularly incorporated into advertisements for various products, a nod to the notion that, online, the act of choosing consumer brands and sex partners has become interchangeable.

3D printing is a form of rapid prototyping.
It is more commonly known as desktop fabrication or additive manufacturing and used in a wide variety of industries for product prototyping & design.
RepRap or desktop 3D printing is a derivative of the mainstream large commercial rapid prototyping process but on a smaller scale. This type of 3D printing is ideal for the home user, hobbyist, small business, educational organisations, creative or designer.
- A digital 3D-model is created in STL file format which can be created using free 3D drawing open source software or more recently by digitizing or scanning objects
- The 3D-model is then loaded into free open source 3D printing software which slices the object into layers and in order to generate GCodes that can be sent to the 3D Printer
- The 3D Printer interprets those GCodes it receives to generate and print the 3D model
- ABS Plastic / Filament – the same plastic used to make Lego blocks it is durable and a stable print material commonly used by many 3D printers today
- PLA Plastic / Filament – a bio degradable plastic derived from corn. Has a lovely high quality finish with an almost translucent quality to it.
- Rubberised or Polyamide Nylon or Glass filled polyamide
- Stereolithography materials (epoxy resins)
- Metals such as silver, titanium, and steel
- Wax
- Photopolymers
- Polycarbonate.
- Foodstuffs such as chocolate, icing, cheese etc
- Dissolvable filament or Support material – uses as support materials for more complex or highly detailed 3D printing. This material is dissolved in a solution for several hours after printing to remove it from the printed object.
Some materials need to be melted as specific high temperatures before they can be printed known as hot extrusion. However others can be extruded for printing at lower or no temperature known as cold extrusion.
Plus many more new materials are being developed and experimented with hence this list is growing every day!
OK .. so where do I start?
- Buy or build yourself a 3D printer along with printing materials
- Set it up and connect it with the right 3D printing software
- Find, buy or create your own 3D model to load and print
- Press the button and wait for it to print
That's it? Yes that is all there is to it. Of course this is the quick guide to getting started with 3D printing. More information and advice about these steps in getting started with 3D printing can be found in our other FAQ sections.

Dynamic Oil, Gas Environment in Australia Delivers M&A Opportunities
Australia's rapidly evolving oil and gas industry has been influenced by a number of factors, in addition to the low oil prices, which have led to the latest wave of merger and acquisition (M&A) deals, according to analysts.
Despite falling commodity prices being a common element contributing to M&A activity, Australia's ongoing transition into one of the world's leading liquefied natural gas (LNG) exporters, and a tightening east coast market, has helped shape a healthy environment for buyers.
Woodside Petroleum Ltd., Australia's largest oil and gas company, continued to pursue growth in the LNG sector with an $8.2 billion (AUD 11.6 billion) bid for Oil Search Ltd. Despite the offer being rejected, and Woodside since keeping its distance, the Perth-based company has not ruled out re-approaching Oil Search.
Santos Ltd. also knocked back an offer it received from Scepter Partners, which is backed by sovereign wealth funds and the royal families of Brunei and the United Arab Emirates.
Since the offer Santos has stood its ground, this month hiring a new CEO, while announcing it would raise $2.5 billion (AUD 3.5 billion) by selling a stake in a gas field, issuing new shares and forming a partnership with a Chinese investor.
Beach Energy Ltd. and Drillsearch Energy Ltd., both focused on the Cooper Basin region, delivered a successful deal after launching a merger in October to create a company worth about $843 million (AUD 1.17 billion).
Changing Climate
Patersons Securities analyst Jason Chesters said the "dynamic climate" that has evolved in Australia had left the likes of Oil Search, Santos and others as prime targets for companies with stronger balance sheets.
While the oil price was key to these developments, Chesters explained to Rigzone, the industry in Australia was also being affected by other factors.
"The decline in the commodity price environment in oil and gas has opened up the landscape for companies with stronger balance sheets to take opportunity where they see it," Chesters said.
"In the Australian landscape there are a couple of other dynamics at play as well. Obviously the larger players have dominated [the activity], and the LNG industry is also changing the landscape of the domestic gas industry with the amount of gas that is going to be required to feed the new plants in Queensland."
According to Chesters, this is creating a tightening of the demand supply situation on the east coast of Australia, leading to initiatives to source longer term gas supply, such as the possible construction of the North East Gas Interconnect.

It has certainly been a while since we posted any significant development updates, and we do apologize for that. You always have to find that balance, as it's key to reaching out to all of you. We tend to post updates to our twitter account quite frequently, as it allows us connect to so many different people around the globe.
Follow us: @innersanctumgm
We have come across some rather interesting independent projects over the last few months, namely:
1) Tangiers: " Tangiers is a tense stealth game set within the confines of a dark, self-destructive world. Disregarding the analogue, 'puzzle' trappings common to third-person examples of the genre, Tangiers shares more in common with the emergent 'immersive sim' gameplay of Thief or Deus Ex ".
2) Barmark: " Wander through stunning landscapes; immerse yourself within the amazing visuals and sounds of nature. Find harmony by forging your own environments,creating worlds to achieve personal perfection. Experience the calming world, and alter it to your liking ".
They are definitely worth a look, as they are rather unique in what they achieve. We hope to start supporting independent developers by buying their games and contributing towards their funding campaigns.
Ted Price (CEO of Insomniac) donated $7,500 towards Harmonix's Amplitude HD Kickstarter. We would like to see more of this, as game development can be financially challenging, but ultimately fun and rewarding.
Hopefully, this trend of developers supporting each other continues.
As for us?
We have been extremely busy (and we love it), gradually toiling away at all our internal projects, making revisions, discoveries, optimizations here and there . . You know the usual development procedures :-)
Later this year, a few announcements will be made with more concrete details, but for now, we leave you with a few in-engine test screenshots:
(BTW these screenshots are from a simple environment test, and do not represent the working builds of our internal projects).
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us using the form to the right of this page.
Thanks for your time and happy gaming!

Maintenance certainly remains a big factor in increasing fuel efficiency. And certain training and instructive sessions can help drivers achieve more efficiency from their heavy duty trucks. Most of the times drivers are offered no instruction or orientation on their new advanced heavy duty trucks. When they don't have enough understanding of their vehicles, how can they possibly achieve optimum performance?
Drivers habits, behaviour, skills and attitude can have a huge impact on fuel efficiency. A driver who merely knows how to drive properly is not classified as a good driver. Knowing essential things about your heavy duty truck such as its engine capacity, oil intake, fuel consumption, etc. is crucial, in order to keep the vehicle well-maintained. A good driver is someone who knows how to efficiently drive on uphills, how much to brake and accelerate, and making appropriate use of clutch mostly while shifting gears.
Given below are a few ways drivers can instantly maximize fuel economy:
Accelerate Gently:
Even though AMTs (automatic) will shift according to their programming, most take cues from how aggressively the engine growls. Perhaps this tip will help you remember to accelerate gently; 'drive the truck like you have an egg between your foot and the throttle pedal. Don't be so gentle that the truck simply halts. High throttle demand usually produces higher revs between gears and more aggressive shifts.
Avoid Unnecessary Braking:
Maintaining a certain gap between your truck and the vehicle ahead of you will reduce the need to decelerate for slower traffic and then speed up again. Braking a lot does not do any good to the brake pads, instead it enforces you to accelerate more and more. Getting off the throttle pedal sooner and coasting to a stop is better rather than braking, means less fuel burned. Use gravity generated momentum when safe to do so by rolling down a hill and part way up the other side, rather than braking on the hill to maintain a prescribed speed.
Don't Idle:
Vehicles equipped with auxiliary climate control systems do not ever need to idle except a moments before shutdown after a hard pull. Remind drivers that all the myths they have heard that idling is necessary to warm up the engine, or that less fuel is burned during five minutes of idling when starting an engine are just that, myths! Shut off the engine whenever possible. Obviously, you shouldn't shut the engine off if you're stuck in a traffic jam, as igniting the engine again and again may consume more fuel.
Reduce the Gap Between Trailer:
Keep the trailer clinched up as close to the tractor as possible, when proper axle loading permits. Always remember, the tractor-trailer gap is a big fuel waster, and it should be minimized whenever the opportunity arises.
Instead of leaving the cruise control on all the time, manage speed and momentum in hills by backing off the throttle when nearing the crest of a hill, for instance. There's actually no need to over the top at full throttle. For automatic heavy duty trucks, back off the throttle sooner when coming to a stop, and manage road speed according to traffic conditions rather than letting the cruise bring you in so close to another car that you have to brake. If you're planning to buy or know more about old heavy duty truck's, or if you want to know how to efficiently maintain your old heavy duty truck, get in touch with our heavy duty professionals.

Hello Dan,
Thanks for letting me and my readers get to know you.
Dan is the blogger behind 'Daddynessblog'
A little about Dan;
My name is Dan and my online alias is Daddynessblog. I'm 25 years old. I live in the north of England with my wife, Charlotte and my two monsters Noah and Amelia.
How long have you been blogging?
I have been blogging for literally 2 weeks and I love it.
How many children do you have and how old are they?
We have 2 kids named Noah (1 and a half years old) and Amelia (6 months old).
What was the reason for starting your blog?
I started my blog because I enjoy writing about my experiences. They make me laugh and I thought, why not share them for others to have a good laugh at me!
What is your blog about?
My blog is a humourous, real-life parenting blog. I was sick of the lies that an average parenting book told me. And decided to tell the real side.
Where do you get your inspiration?
My kids are my inspiration. When anything happens that I think is worth writing about and others will enjoy, I jot it down in notes on my iPhone and draft it later when the kids are in bed.
Are you a full-time blogger or do you work aswell?
I wish I was a full-time blogger! But no, I am also in the army.
How do you manage to fit blogging in to your daily life?
I like to think of myself as the 'eminem' of blogging. I write down notes and references whenever I get a chance and I add a bit to blog entries when I get a few spare minutes here and there throughout the day.
Did you follow any blogs before you started blogging?
I'm a big fan on Man Vs Baby blog. He was my inspiration really. But I never read any blogs before I started.
Where would be your ideal holiday?
My ideal holiday would be the Maldives.
Do you have any plans on growing your family?
Me and Char both want more kids, but 4 maximum – half way there!
How do you relax when you get chance to?
I like to relax with a cup of tea and a good book. And writing my blog too obviously!
What qualities do you think are important for a parent?
I don't think you 'know' the qualities to make a good parent before you begin. I believe you learn these as you go and as long as my kids are happy, that's all I care about.
What makes you laugh?
I have an immature sense of humour so farts I find highly hilarious. I base my blog on humour to make it interesting and relatable. Comedy is a good trait to have I think.
What is your pet peeve?
Pet peeves are: running out of tea bags, littering, loud chewers and ignorance.
Do your children do anything that gets under your skin?
The only thing that I would change would be being able to make my kids stay in bed past 6AM.
Has becoming a parent stopped you doing anything?
I recently wrote an entry on this and I don't think kids stop you from doing anything. You just adjust to doing what you once did, but with kids.
How did you find the pregnancy? Was it difficult or a pleasure?
I firstly felt sick (for some reason) and then the adrenaline kicked in when the labour started, and I felt more sick.
What's your favourite thing to do when you don't have your children?
I like to read and sleep when I get time to myself.
What do you normally have for breakfast?
Breakfast is either toast or Cheerios with a pint-size cup of coffee.
Do you have any advice for first time parents?
Advice for new parent would be to trash your house and clutter it with toys, play an MP3 file of just screams and crying and empty your bank account and flush the cash down the toilet.
What's the most embarrassing thing you've done since becoming a parent?
I once fell asleep in the labour ward on the hospital bed whilst my pregnant wife was taken away to have her waters broken. The midwife returned and looked very angry at me under the covers, shoes off, pushing out the Z's.
Do you consider yourself a strict parent?
I am not super strict by any means. I verbally tell off my kids so they know what they're doing is wrong but I don't scream at them and make them do lines etc.
Thank you very much to Dan from Daddynessblog for being a great sport and taking part in 'A Discussion With A Dad'.
Dan seems to be a great dad and a good laugh. If you would like to know more about Dan, his life and family then head over to his blog Daddynessblog, follow him on Twitter @daddynessblog and check out his Instagram and Facebook page.
If you would like to take part in 'A Discussion With A Dad' then please email me at email@example.com
As always thanks for reading and your support.

C.S. Lewis wrote on self love thusly:
For a long time I used to think this a silly, straw-splitting distinction: how could you hate what a man did and not hate the man? But years later it occurred to me that there was one man to whom I had been doing this all my life—namely myself. However much I might dislike my own cowardice or conceit or greed, I went on loving myself. There had never been the slightest difficulty about it. In fact the very reason why I hated these things was that I loved the man. Just because I loved myself, I was sorry to find that I was the sort of man who did those things.I remember reading this (in Mere Christianity, which is a very interesting book even if you aren't religious) and wondering about it then, because I don't feel this way. I do have difficulty in loving myself, especially when I'm engaging in tiresome behavior. My self-love is conditional: present if I'm pleased with my behavior, but vanishing when things aren't going well. Instead, I often feel like I am that annoying coworker who sits next door: you have to be polite and accomplish tasks together, but you don't like or respect them, or even feel any positive emotion towards them. It's not that you actively hate them, but it's maddening that you can't escape.
I wonder if I am a unusually psychologically ill-balanced person, or if Lewis just has a really good opinion of himself.

GINGHAM GOALSMarch 16, 2017
Gingham is everywhere right now! It's definitely going to be a huge trend for spring/summer, so we have pulled together a post of our faves from the high street!
You can pretty much get gingham anything! Jumpsuits, coats, jackets, dresses, skirts, tops, shoes, accessories... you name it, you can get it in gingham! We're thrilled that gingham has made it out of the playground and onto the catwalks, because we want it alllll!
There was plenty of gingham on the S/S17 catwalks, we loved House of Holland's super fun, bright collection, so many ruffles! Gingham was also seen on Carolina Herrera, Peter Jensen and lots more!
|1. Zara - £25.99 2. River Island - £28 3. Zara - £29.99 4. Warehouse - £29
The River Island top is our fave from this group. We love the tie front, it's super flattering! The frills on the other three are gorgeous too and brings together two major trend for this season.
|1. ASOS - £28 2. ASOS - £25 3. Topshop - £29 4. ASOS - £35
We just can't get over how cute the ASOS crop top is! It's perfect for summer, and we think it would look adorable with some fun coloured shorts.
|1. Miss Guided - £32 2. Zara - £29.99 3. Pretty Little Thing - £25
Oh my goodness, we love these dresses. The Pretty Little Thing dress is our fave, it has so many trends in one dress, there's frills, bardot neckline, gingham (obvs) and statement sleeves! And for £25, how can you not?!
|1. Topshop - £49 2. Topshop - £79
This trench coat is A-mazing! We need it! It's a perfect lightweight coat for spring and would look super cute with a sunshine yellow top! And the other jacket is just so adorable too, we basically just want everything on this post!
|1. ASOS - £38 2. Topshop - £42 3. Warehouse - £45 4. Glamorous - £45
Don't ask why there is a dress in this jumpsuit collection, just go with it. We absolutely love a good jumpsuit, and these are ALL so cute. We love how the Topshop one can be put over a cute tee, and love the floral they styled it with! We definitely need to get at least one of these!
|1. Topshop - £39 2. River Island - £32 3. Zara - £49.99
These skirts are so pretty! We adore the tie front and split on the River Island one, we think it looks so effortlessly stylish! The other two are amazing too and we love that these skirts can easily be styled with a coloured top or jumper, especially if this spring-time weather doesn't stay! The Zara skirt is incredible, we love the royal blue colour and the pretty embroidery.
|1. Miss Guided - £25 2. ASOS - £32 3. Debenhams - £55 4. Zara - £29.99
We love these ruffled pencil skirts, especially the Debenhams one! It's from their new Studio by Preen collection, we always love a designer collaboration and this one is full of beautiful pieces! The Zara co-ord is so pretty too, and such amazing value!
|1. Zara - £39.99 2. ASOS - £30 3. Topshop - £29 4. Topshop - £39
We love the red trousers and how fab they look with a denim jacket! The frills on the others give them such a girly touch and we're loving the way they are styled with a white trainer for a super casual but stylish look!
|1. New Look - £32.99 2. River Island - £45 3. River Island Collar - £15 4. Topshop - £45
These three shoes are all so beautiful! We are in love with them all, and probably need a pair of each. These collars from River Island are such a good idea! They are perfect for spring when you don't want all the layers but still want the shirt under a jumper look.
Thanks so much for reading this post!

Why Bees Sting?
Normally bees sting if they are provoked or annoyed. They become alarmed when you try to kill them, or drive them away. So using their weapon that nature has given them, they sting you for self defence.
With a fine sharp, barbed, stinger the worker bee stings. When you have been stung, you have also been injected with a drop of poison .
We often hear that a bee dies after stinging a person. Normally a person who is stung knocks a offending bee away which tears its stinger from its body. Badly injured, the bee dies.
As true to say if we don't pull a bee away from its body the bee can sting as often as we allow it.

- What is WordPress?
- What is a theme?
- What is a child theme
- Are your themes compatible with WordPress plugins and widgets?
- Where can I find WordPress tutorials?
- Can I remove the design credits?
- Are any stock photos included in the theme?
- What software do you suggest for editing photos?
What is WordPress?
WordPress is the largest, self-hosted, content management tool in the world and is used on millions of sites across the globe. The application itself is free and uses a simple online interface to help people create and maintain web sites or blogs. To run WordPress, all you need is a domain and web hosting that offers both PHP and MySQL support
Once WordPress is installed on your domain, the only tools you need are a web browser and an Internet connection to manage your site. If you have ever used a word processor, then you will find WordPress' editing interface reassuringly familiar.
What is a theme?
A theme is a collection of files that work together to produce the functionality and graphical display for a WordPress blog or site.
What is a Child theme?
A WordPress Child theme relies upon a Parent theme to provide basic site functionality. Meanwhile any customisations are stored in the Child. This both protects the Parent theme and allows it to be updated without impacting on any Child customisation.
Are your themes compatible with WordPress plugins and widgets?
All of our themes are developed according to the guidelines published by wordpress.org and should be compatible with most plugins & widgets that have been developed using the same guidelines. However, there are thousands of plugins available for WordPress and not all of them have been coded to the same standard. So we can't guarantee that plugins from elsewhere won't cause the odd problem.
Where can I find WordPress tutorials?
We also offer remote WordPress training. Please contact us for details.
Can I remove the design credits?
We support open source development. So, if you are using one of our themes (custom or otherwise), it is yours to change, or amend, in any way that you choose.
Are any stock photos included?
The only graphics provided are those used within the theme's design – not its content. However, you can download royalty-free stock photos from resources such as Freeimages

The people of Buckingham are leaving no stone unturned, in the hunt for decorative rocks hidden throughout the town.
A Facebook group, with more than 200 participants, is documenting the discovery of painted pebbles, decorated with funny messages, drawing cartoon characters, and googley eyes.
Once a rock is caught in the wild, whoever found it is encouraged to post a picture to the group (Buckingham Rocks UK), keep the rock, or replace it with another of their creation.
One of the two mystery organisers said: "My hometown is a place called Wantage and I saw a load of friends getting involved with Wantage Rocks over the summer and thought it might be a nice thing for the people of Buckingham to get involved in.
"I think there are a number of Rock groups across the UK and I'm not sure where the craze started. We started the group formally on Thursday and now have about 200 members.
"The first few rocks were painted by myself and my partner, who's a lot more accomplished with a paint brush, with a bit of help from our kids. There are now a number of fellow rockers who have spend the weekend painting and hiding Rocks."
Sources say that a new batch of rocks are set to be released at the Scarecrow Festival in Maids Moreton on October 7.
They continued: "It's almost as fun looking for them as it is painting them and it great to see some kids finding and keeping them as it shows they are appreciating the work that goes into them. The only thing we ask if someone keeps a rock they put another one out there to keep the Rock population alive.
"Hopefully it will put a smile on a few people's faces as they walk round the town."

Turner County High School in Ashburn, Georgia, Holds First Racially Integrated Prom
On April 21, 2007, Turner County High School students attended the school's first racially integrated prom. Located in Ashburn, Georgia, a small, rural, peanut-farming town of 4400 residents, the school's racial demographics reflected those of the local community: 55% black and 45% white. The prom theme, "Breakaway," was chosen to signify a break from the tradition of privately-funded, separate "white" and "black" proms sponsored by parent groups.
The school administration's handbook provided for funding an official school-wide prom but stipulated that the senior class officers and student body had to express genuine support for an integrated event. During the 2006-2007 school year, the school's four senior class officers ? two white and two black ? approached the principal to discuss holding a school-wide prom. Regarding the segregated proms, senior class president James Hall said, "Everybody says that's just how it's always been. It's just the way of this very small town. But it's time for a change."
Turner County High School's class of 2007 also abandoned the "tradition" of electing both a white and a black homecoming queen. White parents still held a private, whites-only prom one week before the school-wide event and some parents refused to allow their children to attend the integrated prom. Principal Chad Stone, who is white, said he would not make efforts to end private proms for future classes but favored the integrated approach, "We already go to school together ? let's start a tradition so that 20 years from now, this is no big deal at all."

Now here's a good idea for all those people who work with or near a computer all day. This light unit has its own rechargeable battery inside it, and recharges from a standard USB port.
It comes complete with its own small cable, which features a hinge at the end where it plugs into the computer. This prevents the light's weight from hanging on the USB port and potentially damaging it from accidentally being knocked out at an angle. The light itself gives a focused beam, just about bright enough for dark lane riding, but it also manages to offer very good visibility too, thanks to a semi-opaque lens area and deep side cutaways on the front. The mounting is a flexible band type with a quick release lever and it works quite well, although it won't fit wing-style bars.

Main Idea
This week, we took a break from our series "Multiply" and instead, were challenged to be the Church rather than go to church. If we're going to love our neighbors – we must know who they are and spend time with them! This week's curriculum will focus on the relational capital God has given us.
What did our actions as a Church this week communicate to the Triangle? Did you feel excited or apprehensive about this? Why?
What similarities are there between managing our time and managing our finances?
What does the Bible say?
Read Matthew 22:34-40
- What was the Pharisee's question and how would you have answered him?
- How much does Jesus value our neighbors?
- How much does our culture value neighbors?
Apply the Message, Own the Mission
This past year, God has used a book called The Art of Neighboring to help many of us at Hope grow in our love for our neighbors. We're taking a page from that resource to challenge all of us! (FYI, if you like this week's exercise, www.artofneighboring.com has a free six-week small group study and other resources to help us love our neighbors where they are!)
This week, give everyone in the group a blank sheet of paper and follow these instructions:
- Let everyone draw a large "tic-tac-toe" grid that fills up the sheet (or download a free template here to print off). For each person, this grid represents their neighborhood or apartment with their home in the center square and the eight closest homes or apartments surrounding them.
- Take a minute to imagine what home/apartment would best fit into each square.
- Then, write down three items for each square:
- A person's name who lives in that square
- Something "surface level" (think small-talk) about someone who lives in that square
- Something personal about someone who lives in that square
- Share with the group!
How did you do? Was anyone able to fill in something for each square? (FYI- only about 10% of people can fill in names for every square, 3% can fill in line b, and less than 1% of people can fill in all three lines for the 8 people closest to them!)
Take a step back and consider what this means. How are we doing with our "relational" budget?
As a group, make a commitment for everyone to fill in one more name this week. Take this sheet home and put it on your refrigerator or mirror as a reminder.

Last Monday, I had mentioned that I was "gonna do a weekly update thing from now on". And that has now manifested itself into This was the Week that Was, TW3 for short. It's basically a round-up of blog posts that I found interesting, some new blogs that I've started reading, and a bit of an update on what's gone on here. There'll also be a mention of news from time to time. I hope y'all enjoy it 🙂
Some blog posts that I really liked –
- Duncan's TV Ad Land featured some great ads that have been blocked from reairing on British TV because back in the 50s, eggs and toast was seen to be a balanced breakfast. Now you have to have juice.
- Andrew G (formerly of Channel [V] and currently of Australian Idol) discussed a great insight that he got from emceeing an event featuring the Dalai Lama in Sydney
- One of my favorite blogs is The Food Pornographer, where tfp, as she is known, photographs many of the meals she has. This week, a couple of the posts caught my eye –
- Tuesday night dinner with friends – featuring a picture of a version of an Aussie burger, using chicken instead of the regular hamburger. It looks really delicious!
- Monday work food – guilty! – Obviously we *do* have KFC here, but it's always interesting to see how other countries serve the same kinds of food in the same restaurant. Of note are three things – 1) the soda in a can – here, it's served in a cup like any other fast food restaurant, and the last time I've seen a can with a narrow opening was maybe 10 years ago; 2) No coleslaw – if it were me, I'd have that instead of the chips (fries). 😉 3) The bun. I had a look on the Aussie KFC website, and they don't have the biscuits. Seriously, y'all are missing out on some goodness there.
- Sky High Cork City from inphotos.org, with a great picture of Cork City in Ireland from the top of a parking ramp/garage/structure/deck.
- Google held a Press Day in Paris this week, and released a bunch of facts and figures about their operations, highlighted at unofficial Google blog Google Operating System. The most interesting stat is that 20-25% of queries are brand new ones.
- Anaglyph mentioned a story about the Royal Australian Navy preventing a boarding of one of their ships by Iranian forces. How, you might ask did they do this? Simple – by using some colourful language 😉
Some of the new blogs I've started reading recently –
- Memoirs of a Gouda, who I mentioned the other day for being willing to embrace swearing.
- Alyndabear. She just bought herself a new domain, something that I am seriously considering doing at some time in the near future. She also received a bum blog review a couple weeks back, which is when I started reading – I have to say that their review was totally off-base.
- A Byootaful Life; I know it was mentioned in Snos' round up, but the post that got me was the one about the Digg Cake; specifically the words "boob cake". 😉 Yeah, I'm a perv :p
- A Taste of Home. It was linked off of byootaful life, and is another foodie blog. You can't get enough of those 🙂
New blogs in the US Blogs Community:
- ourmonmouthblog
- TallFreak.com
- Everybody Loves Tana!
- Jericho Monster
- Nate Balcom..that is..NateBal.com….Come On In..The Web Is Fine..
- One Step Forward
I'll be honest, while I'd love to invite every single blog in the US personally, there are only so many hours in the day, and so many blogs that I can comment on before I go a bit, well, silly. My goal, as I said last Monday, is to double the number of blogs by the end of the month. Right now, we're at 46, so that means there's quite a way to go. If you know of some blogs that are in the US, feel free to invite them to the community, and if you're a blogger and haven't signed up yet, why not? It's free, easy, and you'll get yourself on the US Blogs Blogroll.
Speaking of the blogroll, I've found a way to make it scroll without losing the value of the links. I'm sure you can probably hide links using that method as well.

We are no different from the Israelites…we lead lives fearing our giants. We live without power.
A few months ago I wrote about how we don't believe in our beliefs, oh, we know the answers, we'll even debate them, but we don't really believe them.
David not only knew the answers, he believed
God was who He said he was and would do what He said he would.
As you read the following verses ask yourself if you believe them enough to face the giants in your life?
I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you." Genesis 12:3
David believed the giant standing before him was already cursed. Do you?
Sometimes the promises of God are right in front of us, but we can't see around the giants.
27 They gave Moses this account: "We went into the land to which you sent us, and it does flow with milk and honey! Here is its fruit. 28 But the people who live there are powerful, and the cities are fortified and very large… 31 But the men who had gone up with him said, "We can't attack those people; they are stronger than we are."
Numbers 13:27-28, 31
David believed God to be bigger
than what he could see. He was confident in the invisible but invincible God.
21 See, the LORD your God has given you the land. Go up and take possession of it as the LORD, the God of your fathers, told you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged." Deut 1:21
7 The LORD will grant that the enemies who rise up against you will be defeated before you. They will come at you from one direction but flee from you in seven. Deut 28:7
1 Then Moses went out and spoke these words to all Israel: 2 "I am now a hundred and twenty years old and I am no longer able to lead you. The LORD has said to me, 'You shall not cross the Jordan.' 3 The LORD your God himself will cross over ahead of you. He will destroy these nations before you, and you will take possession of their land. Joshua also will cross over ahead of you, as the LORD said. 4 And the LORD will do to them what he did to Sihon and Og, the kings of the Amorites, whom he destroyed along with their land. 5 The LORD will deliver them to you, and you must do to them all that I have commanded you. 6 Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD
your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you."
7 Then Moses summoned Joshua and said to him in the presence of all Israel, "Be strong and courageous, for you must go with this people into the land that the LORD swore to their forefathers to give them, and you must divide it among them as their inheritance. 8 The LORD himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged."
Deut 31:1-8
David was a man who truly believed.
Are you?
48 As the Philistine moved closer to attack him, David ran quickly toward the battle line to meet him. 1 Sam 17:48
Test your faith today; run
as fast as you can towards your giants!

The beloved's birthday
The week of Josie's birthday was pretty hectic as we had collaborators visiting from Portland then a visitor from Tassie on the weekend, but we did go out for a special dinner with the work crowd on the Friday night at a fabulous place called Tre Trattoria. Great linguine with clams, excellent antipasto and I think half the table ordered the fresh pasta with wild mushrooms and thyme, including the birthday girl!
Somebody was asking what she got for her birthday, so I thought I'd post a couple of pics on here. Jose would be the first to profess that she was spoiled rotten, but it was brilliant to see her light up every time a card or package appeared. Eclectic presents not shown here include a footspa, antique plate-fragment jewelery and Charles Rennie Mackintosh glass decals direct from Scotland!
For those of you who don't know, our hamsters died while I was in Australia. They were well over their expected lifespan and had lived very happy hammie lives. We feel bad about the names we gave them now because Busy appeared to just run out of steam and Lumpy died of a tumor... Anyhow, the point is that I found her this actual-size needle-felted hamster for her birthday as a memento of our girls.
I also found her these lovely earrings that were handmade by a jeweler called Joanna Rutter from Devon, and I highly recommend her work! I found both the earrings and the hamster on Etsy (support handmade goods!)
And one last present that I just had to show you. Our friend Katy went to Paris to bring us back some baby Dior socks! I kid you not. Ok it probably wasn't the only reason she went to Paris but still, how cute are they??

Glad you liked the card. There's a whole series of them from old Ladybird books, very 1950s. The ear rings are very cute, and made in Devon! Well, why not?

Hey, friends! I promised one more installment of my favorite kids' clearance deals going on right now. I've found some more awesome things that I'm seriously thinking about buying ahead in the next size up.
J. Crew Factory ($5 shipping) has an extra 50% off clearance with the code EXTRA50 for only one more day. Wow! Keep in mind that many clearance items are final sale. And make sure to check out the mens and womens clearance while you're at it, too.
J. Crew Factory ($5 shipping) has an extra 50% off clearance with the code EXTRA50 for only one more day. Wow! Keep in mind that many clearance items are final sale. And make sure to check out the mens and womens clearance while you're at it, too.
(prices reflect the extra 50% off)
Boys' straight chino 9.49/ Boys' printed washed shirt 9.99/ Boys' Coast is Clear storybook tee 5.49
Girls' postcard keepsake tee 6.99/ Girls' necklace sweatshirt 16.99/ Girls' colorblock stripe tee dress 13.99
I admit, I've never shopped for kids' clothes at REI (Shipping 5.99, free after $50, or free store pick-up). I had this vague idea that "outdoorsy" clothes were just an afterthought after you pick up your LED-lit canoe paddles, or solar-powered water bottles. But as un-sporty as I am, I still appreciate SmartWool socks and Columbia jackets for keeping kids warm and dry while waiting for the bus. Check out the outlet section for deals on last year's outerwear.
Columbia Silver Ridge skort 8.73/ SmartWool hiker street crew socks 4.73/ SmartWool Funky Fairisle tights 14.73
Columbia Zing II fleece jacket 21.73/ Columbia pearl plush full-zip fleece jacket 23.73/ The North Face Glacier full-zip hoodie 32.93
Carter's ($6 shipping, free over $50) has never been my favorite, but I found a few nice things that would look great on little ones heading off to preschool or kindergarten.
Sleeveless poplin dress 16.99/ Skinny fit printed jeans 12.99/ 3/4 sleeve Dream tee 7.99
Stretch jeggings 7.00/ Space theme shimmer tee 5.00/ Pull-on french terry pants 7.00
I hesitated before including Tea Collection ($7 shipping, free over $150) because I know the biggest sale of this summer has already come and gone. Furthermore, the Morocco collection that's on clearance right now hasn't been my favorite compared to some of the past "destinations". Still, there are some adorable clothes left at good prices. A tip: "Like" them on Facebook to get notices of sales. The annual Black Friday sale is not to be missed.
Daisy chain mini dress 14.95/ Medina swing dress 12.95/ Radiant flower graphic tee 10.95
Windsurfer graphic tee 12.95/ Colorblock pocket tee 9.95/ Safi stripe pocket tee 9.95
Another personal favorite for cheap, cheap, cheap clothes is H&M (5.95 flat-rate shipping, online returns cannot be made in store). The quality isn't the highest, but I've been happy with how long our H&M clothes have lasted.
2-pack tops 12.95 /Loose jeans 9.95/ Cotton shirt 10.00
Pull-on pants 10.00/ Top with lace sleeves 7.00/ Patterned cotton blouse 4.00
So that's the end of my online shopping for kids clothes. This has been a lot of fun for me, and I hope I've been able to point a few friends in the right direction for their Back-to-school shopping.

As promised, here is part two of our Taiwanese adventure.
A few days before we left, Nick and I decided to take an overnight getaway to Sun Moon Lake, an area about four hours away from Tamsui where we were staying.
I wish I could tell you that this baby trip was perfectly romantic, like a dream, but life never seems to go that smoothly, right? I started feeling really sick about an hour out from the lake. We got to our Airbnb in the early evening, and I didn't get out of bed until the next morning. If you know me, this is laughable because without fail I get sick when I travel. Thankfully Nick explored the town on behalf of both of us that evening (and brought me an ice cream bar) and I was feeling significantly better by the morning. *ice cream heals*
The afternoon called for exploration! We rented electric bikes, making me feel like the laziest human on the island, but they were SO MUCH FUN, you guys. We "biked" around the lake, making a few stops — my favorite being a wooden pathway through a forest. The flights of stairs seemed to go forever. We also stumbled upon a beautiful temple. All of the epic water / palm tree shots you'll see below were taken at the temple…too. much. beauty.
For now I must be going. Talk soon, friends!
p.s. If you want to lose sleep tonight, Google "cane spider." There was one in our shower after we got back from the bike ride…….I didn't end up taking a shower.
