Differential Pressure Transmitter with signal isolation and HART communication. HART technology superimposes digital communication on top of the 4-20 mA signal for two-way field communication and enables additional information beyond the normal process variable to be communicated to and from the field instrument. The transmitter is housed inside an flameproof (certified for gas groups I, IIA and IIB) enclosure with an IP65 rating; a good level of protection against water and completely dust proof. SCC633 ships with customer specific measurement range settings, requires no external power supply when configured by USB interface and is programmed via simple and user friendly software. This HART transmitter is used to convert a variety of input signals into a scalable 4 to 20 mA analogue output signal. SCC633 converts 8 types of thermocouples (B, E, J, K, N, R, S, T), 8 types of RTDs (Pt100, Pt500, Pt1000, Cu50, Cu100) resistance (0 up to 400, 2000 or 10000) and a wide range of linear voltage inputs (-10-75 mV, -100-100 mV, -100-500 mV, -100-2000 mV ). SCC633 has a multi parametric back lit rota-table LCD display to facilitate programming and display bar graphs of process values. The HART transmitter has an internal temperature sensor for active temperature compensation. SCC633 provides galvanic signal isolation of 2000 V AC RMS, 50 hz / 1 minute. This is a highly quality temperature transmitter, with a response time of 1 second and efficacy loss of less than 0.05% per year.

Arsenal summer signing Shkodran Mustafi could lead them to the Premier League title, according to former manager George Graham. The 71-year-old Scot – who led Arsenal from 1986 until 1995 – believes the German centre-half is the ideal player to address their long-term defensive problems.
Mustafi, 24, joined the Gunners from Valencia for a reported £35m ($43.7m) during the summer transfer window. Graham has been impressed by his performances so far this season and thinks Mustafi could help Arsenal to challenge at home and in Europe.
"I'm sure Arsene has been after a centre-half for a few years, but there aren't many great ones about," the former Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur boss said, as quoted by The Times. "Early days, but I like what I see of Mustafi – typical German defender, physically tough, mentally strong. Hopefully he is the one. He was excellent against [Chelsea's Diego] Costa.
"Hopefully, with the buys Arsene has made, they've got that toughness now and they can have a real go – not just in the Premier League but in Europe because what I would love, more than anything, is to see Arsenal win the Champions League."
Arsenal have not won the Premier League title since 2003/04 – but Graham's faith in Arsene Wenger has not wavered. Although the Scot does not know Wenger especially well, he has huge admiration for what the Frenchman has achieved during his 20-year spell in charge of Arsenal.
"He's very private. But any time I'm at a do, which is quite rare these days, we'll say hello. I don't think he gets into conversation about football much – not with me, anyway, or with some of the players I know," Graham shared.
"But he's been great for English football and particularly for Arsenal. The club is well respected all around the world now – mainly through Arsene and the type of football he has brought to the club."

Did Obama's Oval Office Speech Succeed?
In a high-profile speech on national security, President Obama spoke from the Oval Office on Sunday night to outline his administration's counter-terrorism policies. He presented the address as a response to both the continued growth of ISIS in the Middle East and the recent terrorist attacks in San Bernardino and Paris. Undoubtedly, one of the president's goals was to reassure Americans that the White House is doing everything in its power to keep them safe. Of course, the jury is still out on whether or not he succeeded — but in the short term, the speech contained little in the way of reassurance.
The underlying problem with Obama's Oval Office address is that it simply didn't contain any new information. About half of it focused on the "four steps" that Obama's administration is taking to defeat ISIS, and yet every one of these steps has already been articulated and is already being enacted. For example, Obama said that the U.S. "will continue to provide training and equipment" to sympathetic forces in Iraq and Syria.
The operative phrase is "will continue to" — the U.S. is already doing this, and has been for quite some time. The same goes for his pledge to continue U.S. airstrikes against ISIS, or to cooperate with "friends and allies to stop ISIS' operations." This is all old news, and it's hard to imagine who would derive comfort from it, other than Americans who haven't heard of these policies before but nonetheless agree with them.
Obama dedicated the second half of his speech to steps that "Congress should take right away" to help diminish terrorist threats. This included banning people on no-fly lists from purchasing guns and making it harder to buy assault weapons — both measures that, at least in theory, could have prevented the massacre in San Bernardino. And yet, while these would indeed be substantive policies, it is beyond obvious at this point that Obama's ability to sway Congress is, to put it mildly, extremely limited. That goes double for anything related to gun control.
The rest of the speech focused on "what we should not do." Obama once again reiterated his refusal to launch a ground war in the Iraq or Syria, as he believes this wouldn't eliminate long-term threat of ISIS and could help the group's recruiting strategies. He also articulated his longstanding view that the war on terrorism is not a war on Islam itself.
The most interesting part of Obama's speech was his request for Congress to pass an authorization for military force in Iraq and Syria. That may seem redundant; the U.S. military is, after all, already conducting various operations in those two countries. But there was a political objective to this part of the speech: Obama was calling Congress's bluff.
Many lawmakers have criticized Obama for refusing to send ground troops to fight ISIS in Iraq and Syria. But at the same time, they've never voted to approve such an action. Why wouldn't they? After all, many of these same legislators criticize Obama for going around Congress on important matters. Could it be that they like to talk a tough game but don't actually want to shoulder any of the responsibility for what a ground war might entail?
This was the unspoken assumption in Obama's speech tonight. If lawmakers don't pass, or at least attempt to pass, a war resolution in the near future, Obama's bluff-calling will have been a success. In this sense, the speech was more successful as a counterargument to war hawks than as a reassurance to the American people.
To be fair, it's not clear what a better version of this speech would have looked like if these are the policies Obama is committed to. The majority of Americans disapprove of Obama's approach in dealing with ISIS, yet he's clearly going to stay the course. Is it possible for a president to be reassuring while essentially saying, "I'm going to keep doing what you don't like?" Probably not.

text: A combination of a healthy diet and a well-rounded exercise regimen is key for weight loss. While exercise is crucial for leading a healthy life, exclusively, it doesn't often promote weight loss. A 2015 study found that calorie control is more successful, especially because exercise increases appetite in many people.

Similar to what we have in other controls, when there is are no records, we should have a specific template where we can show an image or some text that shows that the Gantt chart could not be displayed since there is no data. Attached is a sample implementation which can be used as a temporary workaround. To run the project, place the .NET 4.5 version of the Telerik.Web.UI.dll in the bin folder of the project.
Allow the implementation of Custom views or extending the available ones similar to the Kendo UI Gantt - https://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/controls/scheduling/gantt/how-to/creating-custom-view
Currently, the RadGantt allows only format strings as a value for the WeekHeaderDateFormat property. Use case - show week number instead of the dates. Workaround to show week number: The suggestion is based on the https://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/gantt/examples/accessibility-and-internationalization/localization/defaultcs.aspx demo. What you should add to the Gantt markup declaration is the WeekView-WeekHeaderDateFormat="dd/MM/yyyy" and OnClientDataBound="OnClientDataBound" properties. // https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6117814/get-week-of-year-in-javascript-like-in-php function getWeekNumber(d) { // Copy date so don't modify original d = new Date(Date.UTC(d.getFullYear(), d.getMonth(), d.getDate())); // Set to nearest Thursday: current date + 4 - current day number // Make Sunday's day number 7 d.setUTCDate(d.getUTCDate() + 4 - (d.getUTCDay() || 7)); // Get first day of year var yearStart = new Date(Date.UTC(d.getUTCFullYear(), 0, 1)); // Calculate full weeks to nearest Thursday var weekNo = Math.ceil((((d - yearStart) / 86400000) + 1) / 7); // Return array of year and week number // return [d.getUTCFullYear(), weekNo]; return weekNo } function OnClientDataBound(sender, args) { if (sender.get_viewsData()[sender.get_selectedView()].type == "week") { $telerik.$('.rgtTimelineWrapper thead>tr:first .radHeader', sender.get_element()).each(function (index) { var $this = $(this) var datestring = $this.text().substring(0, 10); var date = new Date(datestring); var weekNumber = getWeekNumber(date) $this.text("Week " + weekNumber) }) } }
Allow setting a client template for the task's tooltip. Workaround: https://www.telerik.com/support/code-library/custom-task-tooltip
Implement a string indexer or a method to get column by unique name in RadGantt. Example of string indexer // // Summary: This class represents collection of Telerik.Web.UI.GanttBoundColumn. // public class ColumnCollection : BaseCollection<GanttBoundColumn> { public ColumnCollection(){...} public ColumnCollection(IGantt owner){...} public GanttBoundColumn this[string ColumnName] { //considering columnCollection is internal variable holding list of columns. return columnCollection.Where(c => c.UniqueName == ColumnName).FirstOrDefault(); } } Example of a method can be similar to RadGrid's GetColumn and GetColumnSafe methods: https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/aspnet-ajax/controls/grid/how-to/Common/using-the--getitems-getcolumn-and-getcolumnsafe-methods.
I am migrating Excel Documents into Line of Business application into web pages. Which means everything excel can do, my client expect the telerik controls to do! In your RadGantt controls, the Left hand side of the control is perceived to be a RadGrid this it is expected to have the same affordances of radGrid. Which means that I expect the <CommandItemSettings ShowAddNewRecordButton="false" /> to work. Which means I can apply all my learning of radGrid to the left hand side of radGantt.
I have two dates for a Task[Eg: Plan Dates & Actual Dates]. I want to show both plan and actual dates in same row, both with different colors. Below I have attached an image for reference. To show both Planned and Actual dates(if any) for a particular single task on the same row with different colors for both.
In project management it´s very important the possibility to save a baseline, because is the reference to compare project performance. Something like "save current task list with a specific name, sample: baseline_first-planning-date". After sometime it´s possible to save new baseline with all changes of dates and other columns. At this moment with two baselines it´s possible to compare the project performance, showing two gantt with different colors. I believe this is a great improvement. Thanks Daniel
There is a need to add custom buttons to the button strip of RadGantt. The buttons for "Day | Week | Month" view appears on the top right of the RadGantt. The "Export to Pdf" button appears on the top left corner. I would like to add new buttons next to the "Export to Pdf" button. I would suggest taking this as a feature request. There are many scenarios where we need to have custom buttons in the toolbar of the RadGantt. Let the priority be decided by public opinion.
Allow RadGantt to export the data to Excel
Add the Pan and Zoom feature found in HTMLChart to Gannt. #1 This allows the project timelines to be zooned into and out of on the Right Hand Side, and on the Left Hand Side zoom into the 'bill of material' that makes up a Milestone to just milestone view. #2 The Pan allows you to sweep along a long gantt chart, across days in a year. On a tablet you can just flick to the left and right to see what jobs you have on.
How can we plot planned Vs Actual on RadGantt chart? We need two rows in the Gantt for each task. The first row to show planned while the second row shows actual progress. Both Actual and Planned progress to be shown in different colors.
Sample output is attached for your quick reference.
I am migrating Excel Documents into Line of Business application into web pages. Which means everything excel can do, my client expect the telerik controls to do! On either a RadGrid or RadGantt I would like to be able to rotate the headings just like in Excel. An example is a heading like 'Days' but the actual value in that column is no bigger than 99. Another example if that the heading has a question, and the cell a check box.
It will be helpful if we have import mpp (MS Project file) option instead of XML, this will ease users and they don't need to convert file to xml and than upload. This is already done by other providers like bryntrum and i think it is a must as customers are suffering with export to xml and upload. Hope telerik applies this suggestion!
I need a context menu when user right click on particular task. Is it possible?
Integrate validation of unique names that are being assigned through the UniqueName property of the GanttBoundColumn class to prevent the same assigned two times. E.g. RadGantt myGantt = new RadGantt(); GanttBoundColumn boundColumn = new GanttBoundColumn(); boundColumn.UniqueName = "Unique"; myGantt.Columns.Add(boundColumn); GanttBoundColumn boundColumn2 = new GanttBoundColumn(); boundColumn.UniqueName = "Unique"; // this should be validated myGantt.Columns.Add(boundColumn2);
RadGantt needs to considering "working time" when plotting. You have workDayStart, workDayEnd, workWeekStart, and workWeekEnd which appears at this point to only control UI. My suggestion is as follows: let's say I have a task that is 8 hours long in duration(does not appear that I can set the duration on a task, its readonly), I set the task StartTime to be Friday 1PM and EndTime to be Friday 9PM, hence 8 hour duration, I would expect the control to consume its own configuration(defined by params above) and know that from 5PM - 9PM are not working hours, nor is Sat or Sun and to paint the additional hours on Monday from 8AM - 12PM. This is how MSProject and other gantt controls operate. Essentially I don't want to give you an EndTime, I should be able to simply set the StartTime and provide a duration and you would consume the working hours configuration and figure out the EndTime to plot.
Hello, this is for the list of columns on the left side of the Gantt, called TreeListView. If it would be possible to add additional columns that we select or implement during data binding, for example: Duration, other dates, description, task type, and many others that the client will select dynamically, so they must not be a static list of columns. Thank you, -Sam

After being incarcerated for drug trafficking at 19 and spending six years behind bars, Ali Siddiq emerged from prison with a new skill set: standup comedy. "A lot of comics will come backstage before a show and say, 'How's the crowd?' The reason I never ask that is because I came from a horrible crowd. I came from a prison crowd. I wasn't doing standup in a structured place. It just happened to happen two or three times a day. I was doing two or three shows a day because I was working in the laundry with 15 people and I was the one who was saying stuff." After an incredible story on This Is Not Happening and a 2016 Half Hour, Siddiq returns to both Comedy Central and jail this tonight at 11:00pm with an all new one-hour special, It's Bigger Than These Bars. Filmed in the Bell County Jail in Belton, Texas, the special combines standup with intimate interviews with inmates and administrators. For Siddiq the special isn't just about entertainment: "It feels like opening the door and getting people to understand that anybody can end up in this situation." We talked about why he's chosen to stay in Houston, the challenge of working with an uncooperative Texas state prison system, and how there's more of his prison story yet to come.
Are you still based in Houston?
Yeah, still in Houston.
I imagine you're traveling a lot then.
I go back and forth to LA and New York, but whatever I need to do I can hop on a plane and go do it and keep staying close to home, close to the family.
The last time we talked you told me how you wanted to stay in Houston despite everybody telling you that you needed to move to a bigger city. Here we are a year later, you've got an hour special coming out, and you've managed to stay in Houston.
Yeah, the unicorn, man. I wanted to do something different, my way. I don't think you have to go to LA, New York, or Atlanta to make it big. People didn't listen to me with that, but now maybe they'll listen.
Do you think that by not moving to an industry-heavy city you're making more work for yourself?
No, I think I'm making a way for other people who might not get the experience to go to New York or LA. Shout out your hometown. Get some awareness for other places. Maybe they'll stop looking in only three places for talent and start venturing out some more and open up the door for New Orleans, Ohio… maybe somebody out of Iowa will get big. You never know.
I know quite a few comics who are based in smaller areas who are starting to get things because they've put the time in touring, podcasting, and using social media to connect with other comics and fans.
Traveling helped me. It wasn't the internet by any means. I don't have a big social media following. I was doing standup before that came about, before it was a necessity. Being on the road consistently for 15 years honing my craft did it for me. I think I did it right. I paid my dues and got to where I had a solid act that was actually mine. A lot of people out there had somebody else's act, something they had seen on the internet, or three or four sentences from a comic we may not know. I wanted people to know this is me. It's been me for a long time. I made it doing what I do, not conforming, doing sketches, putting on weaves, anything like that. I stayed grounded.
I feel like your current act would be hard to rip off, considering that it's a detailed personal account of your time in prison.
It's funny, man. Now all of a sudden everybody has a prison story. I'm getting all these cats like, "I didn't know how to talk about being in jail, but you kind of gave me the blueprint." I'm like, "I didn't do it for you. It's my story." But there's definitely going to be a lot of guys sitting down telling stories about how they've been in prison. I'm glad Comedy Central did the investigation on me, pulled my files, and proved that I was actually there.
This new special is kind of a full circle moment. You were put in prison, which is where you honed your chops for storytelling and making people laugh. It's where you got your passion for standup. You get out and standup becomes your career. Now you've got a special where you're back in, performing for people who are currently locked up. The whole thing is kind of a redemption story.
It's pretty dope, huh? It kind of feels like that even though it's not the whole finished story. This is like the crescent moon to my story. These are people who are facing time and who have done time before, but it's not that actual prison story until Texas gives me the opportunity to go back into a Texas prison and do it from a place where I spent a lot of time. I galvanized my thoughts of what I was going through when I first got arrested and the time leading up to me going to prison. I galvanized those thoughts to do this one, but when I get a chance to do an actual prison it will have a whole other feel to it. But this feels good. It feels like opening the door and getting people to understand that anybody can end up in this situation.
Just to clarify, this current special was filmed in a jail, not a prison. So you're saying that you feel like there's still some unfinished business for you in terms of this theme.
There's definitely unfinished business. The Texas prison system was ridiculous in their understanding of what I was trying to do. Their whole mindset was, "We don't want to let you into a prison because we don't know what you're going to say. We don't want you to say anything negative about the prison." My response to that was, "I'm going to say the word 'prison' and you tell me all the positive words that come to your mind."
[laughing] I don't mean to laugh, but that's so ridiculous to me.
You should be laughing. They were sitting there looking ridiculous as well. I was like, "Yo, I want you to make me understand what you're saying. I'm a free person. I have the right to voice my opinion. I don't have to stop just because you say something makes sense. It does not make sense. A lot of the things you do don't make sense. This is supposed to be a correctional facility. Correctional. I think you forgot about the word 'correctional' and just want to have a facility to house people. You're not correcting anything. If you wanted somebody to be able to correct it then you would allow me in to give your inmates a different scope. I made it from there. You don't want hope for your prisoners?" They want them to be hopeless.
So the Texas prisons didn't want to play ball. What was it about the county jail that was different?
Captain Shelton and the whole staff were very inviting. They said, "We'll do it." I mean, they had their questions as well. They wanted to make sure I just wasn't going to be down on the jail. They understood I had to say certain things, but they just wanted to know what I was going to say, which is totally fine with me. Just don't block me out. Since they didn't block me out, we went that route.
What is the outlook for a continuation of this series, for lack of a better term? You clearly have a whole other chapter with the prison material.
I have my end locked down. I have my end written. I have the prison special written, which is at least two hours. Then I wrote another special called Ego or Egotistical. Now it's about how the special goes, how people receive it. I think it's worthy of being nominated for something. We'll see what we can do. I'm ready on my end. I'm just waiting on them.

Have you ever settled for less than the best, merely because the best wasn't quite as attractive as you like or hoped? This could apply to a countless number of things—anything from your choice in a significant other to something as prosaic as a plate of fries. Sometimes poor presentation can trump the acceptance of the presented. It's not rational or practical, it's the fickle nature of the human decision making process. While size may not matter to some, looks matter to many. SteelSeries definitely understands this and is likely why the company now has a small wardrobe of style options for their flagship input device, the Sensei Pro Grade Laser Mouse.
The Sensei has been around for a while and undergone a number of technology enhancements. Many like myself bypassed this powerful offering solely because of lackluster looks and drab design. Simple is one thing. Boring is another. Despite it's amazing technology, ambidextrous comfort and endless customizations options, the original Sensei was visually underwhelming. That's all in the past, now. Today we put hands on the Fnatic-themed Sensei, which adopts the pro gaming team's color scheme. It's an attention-seizing black matte with orange and white highlights. It looks great and finally compliments the mouse's great performance.
As I mentioned, the Sensei works for left- or right-handed users. This feature is also why the mouse lacks a distinct style or shape. The wrong contour here or curve there would push the mouse to a more left- or right-handed specificity. None of that here. The Fnatic-inspired Sensei, just like all the rest, offers full comfort and control for traditional righties as well as the more "sinister" lefties. I have a rather large hand and the Sensei accommodates it better than most. The arch in the top, rests comfortably at my pointer and middle finger knuckles. Those who palm their mice or use a more "claw" style, will find comfort in the SteelSeries Sensei. All 8-buttons are easily accessible with no struggle or hassle. Each offers perfect resistance so they are not pressed accidentally while holding the mouse. I disabled one of the right side buttons, so I didn't have to worry about pressing inadvertently, as I tend to grip my mice tenaciously during intense gaming sessions.
Many gaming mice use elaborate weight systems so users may adjust the heft and solidity of their rodent du jour. That would just get in the way here. The Sensei is not watching it's weight. Its comfortable in its skin and in your hand. The 0.22 lb stature is a stellar balance between lightweight maneuverability vs. sufficient mass and solidity. Movement is smooth and near-frictionless with adequate resistance. This is also helped by the "glides" or feet used underneath the mouse. SteelSeries has covered 16% of the mouse bottom with these friction-hatemongers. The result is incredible precision to enhance your gaming performance.
But not all gamers are created equal. Thankfully, the Sensei comes packed with a 32-bit ARM processor, built into the mouse. This mini CPU kills the need for desktop software for adjusting mouse settings. They can now be done directly on the mouse. Just flip the mouse over to view the LCD settings screen. You can scroll through CPI settings by increments of "1", then select and save. You can also save various profiles, which you can then switch through right on the mouse, using the LCD screen. Color code your profiles to immediately recognize which is loaded. The three different illuminated locations light up and can be set from 16.8 million colors. Yup you read that right. This will ensure no one picks up your uniquely fluorescent hot-fuchsia Sensei at the next LAN party.
But your freedom isn't limited to CPI settings, alone. That ARM processors powers even more technology for further customization. Enter: SteelSeries ExactTech, which is comprised of several micro technologies. ExactLift grants lift distance adjustability to maintain responsiveness, even after you briefly lift the mouse from your mousepad. ExactAim enhances the laudable precision on the Sensei by recognizing mouse cursor acceleration. As you slow down the cursor, the mouse decelerates even further so you can fine tune those glorious ventilating headshots. On the flipside is ExactAccel. It does the opposite and speeds up the cursor as it begins to accelerate. This particular feature can double the speed of the cursor thereby allowing the Sensei to reach unprecedented speeds of 11,400 CPI–twice as quick as some of the fasted mice currently available. With the competition on the ropes, SteelSeries presses their onslaught, pairing comfort with technical complexity.
The SteelSeries ExactTech running on the embedded ARM processor, lets you adjust multiple settings to fit your play style. This includes complex macros. Users can layer extremely long and time-sensitive macros, including those which require precise timing, use keystrokes and more. The Sensei advanced macros could easily get you banned from a server if you're not careful. The accessibility and freedom borders intimidation. (NOTE: SteelSeries does offer a separate set of desktop utilities available for download for users who prefer a more traditional means of adjusting settings).
But don't sweat it. Fresh out the box, or after hours of tweaking and customizing… The Sensei cuts through games like a hot knife through a nerd's Crispy Kreme. Never before has a single accessory so significantly impacted my first-person gaming performance like the Master. The SteelSeries Sensei has helped my kill-count skyrocket in CoD: Black Ops, Modern Warfare 3, Battlefield 3 and Tribes: Ascend.
Honestly, there are only two things amiss with the Sensei. It's a bit too small for Ham-Hand Sanders, here. Yet that's less important than the skimpy number of CPI presets. While you can set a total of five different profiles, you can only assign two CPI settings for each profile. That's half the presets of offerings from Razer, CoolerMaster and a few others. It's notable, but negligible!
Against the mighty and recently praised Corsair M60 Gaming Laser, the Master from SteelSeries stands above by a few "mouse hairs", with mildly superior comfort and precision. It commands a heavier purse but here, monetary respect is given where it is rightly deserved and the SteelSeries ExactTech utility suite is more than deserving.
Ultimately, the Sensei lives up to its name – Comfort? Mastered! Precision? Mastered! Robust software? Mastered!
Editor Rating:
[Rating: 4.5/5]
The Bottom Line: This is Splinter from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, a master rodent with unparalleled precision from which competing offerings could learn a great deal. The comfort, performance customization, robust technology–and now–sharp looks place the SteelSeries Sensei as my absolute favorite gaming mouse to date.
- Lightening fast laser precise
- ExactTech is powerful & versatile
- Comfortable ambidextrous design
- Sporty and stylish Fnatic theme
- Limited to 2 CPI presets per profiles

Disney+ in the UK has finally released all eight chapters of The Mandalorian, the first ever live action Star Wars TV series, and I've got to say that in all my years of following the Star Wars films: this TV show is the dog's knackers.
Jon Favreau, who created the series as well as wrote the majority of the episodes, has done an absolutely fantastic job of creating a modern Western in space (or maybe a better analogy – a modern Eastern, since a lot of it aligns itself similarly to Lone Wolf and Cub, as well as the Seven Samurai).
The plot follows a bounty hunter (much like Boba Fett) belonging to the Mandalorian clan (they're not a species, but more of a creed) who takes a job tracking down and retrieving somebody who is only described as being 50 years old. But this is no ordinary job. The client (played by Werner Herzog) offers the bounty hunter (Mando, we'll call him for now) a significant bounty if he brings him back alive.
The target happens to be a child. Albeit one that ages extremely slowly. As far as we know, this is the same species as Jedi Master Yoda (hence the nickname) – though Mando doesn't know that. After finding and rescuing the child, Mando can't bear to leave the kid with the client, whom he suspects is torturing him/running experiments, so after he pockets the reward (which he turns into protective armour), he rescues the kid – which results in him being banished from the bounty hunter's guild and making many enemies in the process. They both go on the run.
Throughout the course of the series, we see Baby Yoda demonstrate remarkable feats of Force power, much to the amazement of Mando and his rag-tag team that he assembles to bring down an Imperial warlord (played by Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul's Giancarlo Esposito).
The show is an extraordinary testament to what can now be achieved in television production: the visual effects, the sound design, sets, puppets/creature effects.- everything that you'd expect to see in a major Hollywood movie. It's shot anamorphically too – with two big black bars at the top and bottom of the screen, giving it a true cinematic quality. All split across 8 30-minute "chapters".
It's funny. It's exciting. It's exhilarating. The Mandalorian is a joy to watch. Some would argue 30 minutes is too short, and I'd agree to an extent – though what they manage cram into those 30 minutes ensures that everything remains fresh and keeps on moving.
The Mandalorian has been the best thing on TV in ages, and I can't wait to see season two when it airs in October.

As one academic year edges towards it's close, it's time to look toward the academic year ahead and ensure that you are up-to-speed with the latest policy and innovations – it's all about fresh starts and getting off on the right foot!
That's exactly what EdExec LIVE – taking place in London on June 21 – is all about, ensuring that you are ahead of the professional curve. If you haven't already done so, book your ticket now!
In 2018 we'll bring the pages of Education Executive to life once more – the aspirational stories, innovative ideas and practical advice – but, at a live event, you take your learning further. If you're not familiar with EdExec LIVE, here's a brief introduction: it's an event dedicated to school business management – and, in particular, school business managers and leaders!
Sessions – delivered by practicing SBMs, independent consultants and commercial experts – address the challenges and changes impacting schools and their management, providing a fantastic opportunity for SBMs to engage with, and tease out, answers to specific issues. It's also a chance to network with peers, exchange information, share experiences and forge relationships. It's an all-round, really worthwhile, great day away from school!
Why attend? The proof is in the proverbial pudding…
So, what is our winning formula for a truly beneficial school business management event and, what can you expect from our upcoming events?
All-new programme
- All-new seminars – expert-led – addressing the topics most pertinent to school business management today: finance, funding and income generation, marketing, premises, management and all the acronyms – CPD, HR, ICT, GDPR…
- New academies stream! Take an in-depth look at management in academies, SATs and MATs and the development of the SBM role in the academy landscape.
- It's all about you…Attend the seminars relevant to you and your school and ask the questions relevant to your unique situation.
- Whether workshop, presentation or panel debate, attendees are encouraged to engage with both content and speakers – after all, EdExec LIVE is all about active.
Led by sector experts
- Speakers include practicing school business managers, trust directors, independent consultants and commercial experts – all with proven experience in the education arena.
- Speakers tend to stay for the whole day so, even after a seminar ends, you can continue the discussion.
- You can also expect some popular, familiar faces – for example, Neil Clephan OBE, school improvement director for the Red Kite Teaching School Alliance and Trust, will share some of the knowledge and insights he has accrued over the course of his successful career in schools.
- Expect a lot of new faces, too! Stuart Gardner, CEO of The Thinking Schools Academy Trust will deliver a session exploring curriculum-based financial management. More to be revealed…watch this space!
Networking opportunities
- You will be able to network with a cohort of fellow school business managers – in their many different guises – hailing from primary and secondary, state sector and academies.
- We have made sure that there's plenty of time – over coffee and a delicious hot lunch – to meet and speak with others, continuing the conversation and forging mutually beneficial relationships.
- More exhibitors and supplier partners means more opportunities for you to see what's on the market and to discover and compare and what fellow SBMs are using to streamline business management in their organisations.
- Plus, stay and continue the talk over post-conference drinks – always a winner!
This is an event driven by SBMs and we want you to join us! Visit http://edexec.co.uk/edexec-live/ for more information on the event and to book your place! We hope to see you in 2018!

Makes 6-8 servings
- 2-3 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
- 1/4 cup taco blend
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 lb store-bought whole wheat pizza dough
- 1 cup low-fat sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 cup low-fat mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 cup zesty guacamole
- 1 cup chipotle salsa
- 1/2 cup fat-free sour cream
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
Using a meat mallet or the bottom of a small, heavy skillet, gently pound the chicken breasts until thin. Rub the meat with about 3 tbsp of the taco blend and then lay the pieces in a large glass or ceramic dish and pour the olive oil over them. Turn to coat, cover and refrigerate for about 30 minutes.
Prepare a moderately hot fire in a charcoal or gas grill and oil the grill grates. When the grill is hot, lift the chicken from the marinade, letting any excess drip off. Grill the chicken until cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Remove from the grill and let the chicken cool. When cool enough to handle, cut into bite-size cubes.
Meanwhile, on a lightly floured surface, cut the pizza dough into 4 equal pieces. Roll the pizza dough into thin circles. Rub the dough circles on both sides with the olive oil, and dust lightly with the remaining 1 tbsp of taco blend. Carefully transfer the dough circles to the grill and cook until crispy and lightly browned, 1 to 2 minutes per side.
Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, mix together the cheeses. While the dough is still on the grill, top the dough circles with equal amounts of cheese and then with equal amounts of chicken. Grill over a cool part of the grill, covered, until the cheese melts and is bubbling, 3 to 4 minutes.
Top the pizza with the guacamole, salsa, sour cream and cilantro.

Ubuntu 15.04 Named "Vivid Vervet", And It's Not Velociraptor
You are comfortable with Ubuntu 14.04 and it is not out of door yet but Updation is already turning to Ubuntu 15.04. Today its got a name "Vivid Vervet".
Announcing the monkey-themed moniker in his usual loquacious style, Mark Shuttleworth cites the 'upstart' and playful nature of the mascot as in tune with its own foray into the mobile space.
"This is a time when every electronic thing can be an Internet thing, and that's a chance for us to bring our platform, with its security and its long term support, to a vast and important field. In a world where almost any device can be smart, and also subverted, our shared efforts to make trusted and trustworthy systems might find fertile ground.
Talking of plans for the release Shuttleworth states one goal is to "show the way past a simple Internet of things, to a world of Internet things-you-can-trust."
Ubuntu 15.04 is due for release in April 2015. It's not expected to arrive with either Mir or Unity 8 by default, but given the veracious speed of acceleration in ambitions, it may find its way out for testing.
Do you like the name? Were you hoping for velociraptor?

Safeguarding Statement
St Peter's Primary School Safeguarding Children Statement
At St Peter's the health and safety of all children is of paramount importance. Parents send their children to school each day each the expectation that school provides a secure environment in which their children can flourish. We therefore have to ensure that this expectation becomes reality. In order to accomplish this a range of measures have been put in place.
Health and Safety Policy
The school has a health and safety policy, which is monitored by the relevant committee of the school governors. Any concerns from staff or volunteers are reported to any of the above who will carry out an initial examination, assessing what remedial action needs to take place. Each term there is a fire drill that practices efficient evacuation from the buildings. The school conducts an annual fire risk assessment. There is also a critical incidents plan that details what staff and parents should do in an emergency.
First Aid
In school we have trained members of staff who oversee first aid on a timetabled basis. Evey class has a labelled first aid box and there are a number of first aid kits situated around the school. When a child is poorly or has suffered an accident in school or on the playground there is a protocol for staff to follow:
- A trained first aider is consulted
- The incident is logged in the accident book
- For head injuries a head injuries note is issued
- If there is any doubt at all a parent/carer is contacted
School policy is that members of staff will only give medicines when the parent has completed and signed the appropriate form requesting that staff administer; the decision is at the discretion of the head teacher. For the majority of medicines, however a dose before school, after school and at bedtime is perfectly adequate. Naturally the parents should consult doctors before giving any form of medication. For matters of an intimate nature staff are informed to deal with a child with utmost sensitivity and always seek advice and guidance from the head teacher or member of the SLT. In almost all situations the parents will be asked to come into school immediately so that they are part of the decision making process for such matters.
In the event of an adult visitor requiring first aid the most senior member of staff available and the first aider should be notified.
Site security
St Peter's provides a secure site, but the site is only as secure as the people who use it. Therefore all people on the site have to adhere to the rules, which govern it. Laxity can cause potential problems to safeguarding. Therefore:
- Gates should be locked in the daytime
- All exit doors should be closed to prevent intrusion
- Visitors must enter only through the main entrance and sign in. They should also be given a visitor's badge on entry.
- Children should never be allowed to leave school alone during school hours, and if collected by an adult, should be signed out.
Excellent attendance is expected of all children, but when children are unwell parents are expected to confirm absence by telephone. If there is no notification school will call home to ascertain the child's whereabouts. Attendance rates are reported regularly to the LA, annually to the government and the school is aware of its rights to take legal action against parents who do not ensure good attendance.
Appointments of staff and induction of newly appointed staff and placements
All members of staff appointed to work in the school have a criminal records search called a CRB check. This search highlights people who have a criminal record or have had previous allegations made. If a member of staff is found to have a criminal record the appointment is reconsidered by the head teacher and the Governing Body. The LA is informed directly by the Criminal Records Bureau. The head teacher sits on all appointment panels where candidates are external applicants. The Head Teacher and Acting Deputy Head have both received safer recruitment training. New members of staff are recruited into safeguarding practices. Newly appointed members of staff are allocated a mentor.
Welcoming visitors
It is assumed that visitors with a professional role ie the school nurse or members of the police already have the relevant clearance but the school will endeavour to check before admittance is granted and a note made of anyone without a clearance.
Child Protection Policy
The Designated Senior Lead (DSL) for child protection is Mrs Sarah Downes. It is the governing body's duty to ensure the child protection policy is reviewed regularly. Any complaints should be addressed to the Head Teacher; or if about the Head Teacher to the Chair of Governors directly.
School Curriculum
The curriculum deals with safeguarding in two ways. Firstly, the curriculum, in such subjects as PSHE discusses relevant issues with the children. Topics include themes as drugs, relationships and stranger danger. Children are encouraged to explore and discuss these issues. Secondly, the curriculum, is designed so that safety issues within the subject are discussed and safe practices taught, such as using equipment properly in PE and design technology. At all times there has to be appropriate staffing levels and when the curriculum is taken out of school appropriate and agreed pupil adult ratios are maintained. The lead adult always assesses visits as to the level of risk and all trips are risk assessed and authorised by the Head Teacher. Visiting speakers, with the correct clearance are always welcome into school so that the children may receive specialist knowledge.
School Assemblies also address safety throughout the school year.
September - Road Safety
September- General Safety
October- Stranger Danger
November Bonfire and Firework Safety
November Anti bullying ,Cyberbullying and Fire safety (Bonfire Night)
February - Internet Safety Day
May- Keeping Safe in the Sun
June- River and Water Safety
June- Bike safety (Bikeability)
July- Transition to secondary school
Internet Safety
Children should be encouraged to use the internet as much as possible, but at all times in a safe way. Pupils must never be left unattended whilst online and teachers/TAs should ensure that this does not happen. If a member of staff knows of misuse, either by an adult or child the issue should be reported to E-Safety Lead (Mrs Downes) without delay. All incidents are recorded on the E-safety log. All incidents are dealt with according to school policy.
Behaviour Policy
Good behaviour is essential and at St Peter's we have high expectations for this. Although the emphasis is always on the positive there are also times when children have to be disciplined in order to maintain the safety and security of all children. There are numerous rewards available for children:
- Stickers
- Showing good work in assembly
- Certificates
- House Points
There is a robust behaviour policy using a green, amber and red chart displayed in every classroom. Incidents are logged on a daily basis and the Deputy Head and Assistant Head monitor these weekly.
Anti bullying policy
Our definition of bullying is," A systematic and extended victimisation of a person or group, by another person or group of others." The school's response is to inform adults and take action. Silence is a bully's best friend. Although bullying in this school is rare the school must act swiftly. All incidents of bullying are reported to the Head Teacher.
Race equality
Along with equal opportunities race equality is important for preparing our children for an ethnically diverse society. The school works to promote racial equality and harmony by preventing and challenging racism. If anyone ever feels unjustly treated then the school welcomes and values a response. The children take part in discussions designed to raise awareness and address prejudices. All racist incidents are reported to the Head Teacher and then to the local authority annually.
Photographing and videoing
Parents consent to school taking photographs by signing a permission slip when their child starts in the Reception class.
If members of staff ever have any concerns about the behaviour or intentions of any person within the building, school grounds or within proximity of children they have a professional duty to inform management accordingly. This can be done in writing or verbally but staff should be prepared to discuss issues in the confidence that any such matter will be dealt with sensitively and with the necessary degree of confidentiality. The school has a current whistleblowing policy.

Robert Wells
The colored dots show the fastest links (How?)
Robert Wells wrote the lyrics to ASCAP's number one holiday song of the 21st century, "The Christmas Song," in 1945 with composer Mel Torme. In his autobiography Torme tells of going to Wells' home on a hot California day in July and finding a spiral notebook with a small verse which Wells had written to cool himself off, using phrases referring to Christmas and cold weather. Torme saw the song possibilities and in 45 minutes they had completed the song which Nat "King" Cole took to the charts the following year. Wells and Torme also collaborated on "County Fair" for the 1949 Disney film So Dear to My Heart; the title song for the Jimmy Stewart film, Magic Town; and "Born to Be Blue."
Wells collaborated with Fred Karger and James Jones on "Reenlistment Blues" for the 1953 film From Here to Eternity and wrote lyrics for the title cut. He and Henry Mancini wrote "The Shadows of Paris" and the theme for the movie 10, "It's Easy to Say." "When Joanna Loved Me," written with Jack Segal, was a hit for Tony Bennett.
Television was a gold mine for Wells who won four Emmys as writer and producer of "The Dinah Shore Chevy Show" and two Emmys for "Shirley MacLaine: If They Could See Me Now." Among the many other stars he worked with on specials were Gene Kelly, Julie Andrews, Peggy Fleming, and Carl Sandburg. He also adapted his Broadway hit Three for Tonight, starring Harry Belafonte and Marge and Gower Champion, for television. In 1957 Wells received the Peabody Award and the Sylvania Award.

Employees Logged Nearly 1,000 Bicycling Commuter Miles During Week-Long Challenge, One Awarded "Fearless Commuter"
Boston, Mass., June 5, 2013 – Digital Lumens, the leader in intelligent lighting systems, today announced it was recognized as a leader in the MassCommute Bicycle Challenge, an annual week-long competition that empowers local commuters to bike to work. Part of Bay State Bike Week, the challenge encouraged employees to forgo normal commuting routines and instead cycle to work during the week of May 11-19 in an attempt to promote cycling as an efficient, convenient and healthy alternative to other forms of transportation.
According to the League of American Bicyclists, Massachusetts is one of the most bicycle- friendly states, and is the only state in the nation that celebrates a dedicated bike week. During the week-long challenge, 22 Digital Lumens employees participated in the event and logged 945 miles. Overall, the team placed third in the corporate category of companies with 25-99 employees.
In addition to the team honor, John Wiedey, a senior software engineer at Digital Lumens, was awarded the Fearless Commuter Award for his dedication to cycling to and from work. Wiedey bikes from his home in Bedford to the Digital Lumens office and back each day, which adds up to around 8,500 miles annually. He also promotes fitness among his co-workers by encouraging exercise, and riding alongside inexperienced bikers in corporate-sponsored events.
"Biking is a passion that is shared by many in the Digital Lumens family, and I'm so proud of the achievements of our team in this year's challenge," said Tom Pincince, President and CEO of Digital Lumens, and avid cyclist. "As a business, we strive to help organizations reduce their carbon footprint by offering LED lighting solutions, so it's no surprise that our employees are helping reduce emissions in their own way – by choosing to bike to work instead of taking other forms of transportation."
The winners were announced at yesterday's Bike Bash, held at Harvard University's Queens Head Pub. To learn more about the MassCommute Bicycle Challenge, please visit their website.

Advanced Foundation Supports LLC
Foundations / Retaining Walls
I recently had a site visit from Micah. We did a walkthrough of my house (both inside and outside) and I really appreciated his careful analysis, possible repairs, and referrals to structural engineers and other related contractors. AFS specializes in pin piles, retaining walls, foundation repair, underpinning, and helical piers.
Align Builders
General Contractor
I hired Michael for a massive remodeling project that took approx. one year. He did a great job, hiring out very skills sub-contractors where needed, and was entirely reasonable/civilized when the unexpected invariably arose during our project.
Aqua Quip
The staff at Aqua Quip is incredibly helpful. They'll run a free water test for your pool or spa and then give you a printout with recommendations on how to dial the chemicals in, and they carry a great set of products: filters, vacuums, sanitizers, etc. They really helped me become educated about pool maintenance.
Beauty and the Bamboo
I've now done two bamboo installations and Stan helped me hook up some really beautiful bamboo, along with the requisite root barriers. (The nursery is also a great place to play hide and seek if you have young children).
Better Meat Inc.
This small butcher in a very nondescript building has a broad offering of fresh meat and the staff is really helpful. You can call your order in beforehand for quicker service.
BP Hardwood Floors
I hired Pavel and crew and they were incredibly quick and efficient and the floors came out beautiful.
Builders' Hardware & Supply Company
Hardware Store
I've spent quite a lot of time over at Builder's Hardware. They were very helpful in tracking down some obscure hardware (old cabinet hinges), as well as some door hardware replacement parts. It can be an overwhelming place to browse, so it's best to know [sort of] what you're looking for prior to going in.
Bulldog Demolition & General Contracting
General Contractor
I really like Bulldog. These guys came to my house and did a ton of work in a short amount of time, and they were really respectful in terms of not damaging the areas they weren't demo'ing (like concrete walkways, garden beds, etc). They even hosed down dust in the demo area at the end of the day.
Cascade Integration
These guys are great. They installed a surge protector next to my electrical panel and were quick and courteous (and the residential version of the protector has a lifetime warranty).
CG Engineering
I've been working with Dennis (et al) over at CG for the better part of a year on some structural analysis and permitting and they're great. They did an onsite inspection, took a ton of measurements, and drafted a proposal, which is currently in review by the city.
Cressy Door and Fireplace
I hired Cressy to design/install a new brushed aluminum garage door and it's absolutely lovely and fits seamlessly with the overall design motif of the overall house.
Filco Environmental Tank Services
Oil Tank Removal
I had Filco come out and pull my oil tank as part of a larger remodeling project. They were clear about expectations/outcomes and did a really good job.
Frank Lumber the Door Store
I really like this store. The sales staff are friendly and knowledgeable, the selection is doors and hardware is impressive, and the turn-around for an in-situ door replacement is just a couple of days.
Geotech Consultants NW
Marc came out to do a steep slope analysis for my house (which is also situated on an Environmentally Critical Area as defined by King County) and he clearly has expert-level knowledge in terms of analysis, structural engineering recommendations, permitting, and a wide network of contractors that he can call on to address problems.
Ironman Ornamental
Travis built a custom iron fence on the north side of my house and he did a wonderful job (and on budget).
Lacewing Fine Gardening and Botanical Design
I hired Britt for a large, new project and she did a great job. I also got on a quarterly maintenance schedule, which removes any/all hassle.
I think of Lalo as "The Drywall Whisperer". He made multiple repairs of some drywall in my house during a remodel, including some textured/painted, and his level of skill is simply amazing. You can contact him via 206-578-8865.
Lanktree Land Surveying, inc.
Trevor is amazing. I hired him for a very difficult job that involved surveying most of the houses on my side of the block and then making small/subtle changes to the survey based on each homeowners preferences. He did this with incredible professionalism and patience.
MM Piling and Construction
Basri is a structural engineer and a pinpile contractor. His bid was lower than the others, and his team came out and installed more than 2 dozen pins in a single day. Very nice guy, easy to work with, got the job done quickly and efficiently.
Out on a Limb
Tree Service
I hired Out On a Limb to remove a tree that died during the long period of drought in 2018. Because it was located on an Environmentally Critical Area, there were all kinds of special permitting requirements, as well as very specific requirements from King County in removing the tree. Out On a Limb did a great job.
Pops Backflow Testing and Repair Service
I hired James to do an annual (required) inspection of my previous house. He did a great job and answered a ton of questions I had that were related to my overall water/boiler system.
Porcelanosa Seattle - Tiles, Kitchen and Bathroom
I worked with Valerie on a fairly large project for a poolroom and she was great. I ended up with a beautifully tiled room.
Queen Anne Painting
Alejandro is the horse whisperer of wall prep for painting. He's incredibly skilled and dedicated to his craft. If you have a gig that you really, really want done well, these guys can help.
SDA Flooring
I used SDA for a complicated tile installation project and they were extremely skilled and the room came out perfectly. The main guy (Andrew) was really patient in working out the details of everything before they began (and there were a lot of details to consider, as the project was fairly involved/complicated).
Seattle Tree Care (Treecycle)
Tree Service
I hired Kelsey and co. to come out and help with upkeep of three large trees on my property. They did a great job.
Shd Landscape Architecture
Landscape Architect
Scott is great. He created a landscaping design for me that's served as a kind of roadmap for not only what's possible, but also gets passed along to any contractors that work on my house. He was quick, professional, skilled, and his fee was incredibly reasonable.
SHKS Architects
I hired Kevin to help with a steep slope analysis prior to beginning a major remodel. He gave me a comprehensive overview of how King County classifies my property and handed a clear plan off to the design build team.
Sound Seismic
Seismic Retrofit
I had Sound Seismic retrofit two homes. The crew worked really hard, and quickly, and were really flexible about allowing me to move things around prior to them being walled in or otherwise obstructed via the retrofit.
Strictly Sewers Inc.
I hired Rich to line the interior part of my sewer line with fiberglass for the last 20 feet or so (where it attaches to the city main). It was a tricky job (and he admitted it might not work), but he pulled it off and the post-work scope video looks great.
Wu Construction
I hired Greg for two projects, both involved digging trenches and installed PVC drainage pipes to get water away from my house. His team is like a machine: they show up, work hard, and get it done.
Dr Edward G. Blahous
I recently had a visit with Dr. Blahous over at the UW Sports Medicine Clinic in Ballard and he was extremely competent, efficient, and quick in his analysis and most importantly, he was really easy to talk to. His speciality is foot and ankle treatment "for the active and athletic population" ... so if you want someone to talk about sports with during your x-rays, he's your guy.
Dr. Daniel DeLucchi
Dan has taken over for Dr Craig Tuttle following Tuttle's retirement. While there can never be a 100% replacement for Dr Tuttle, Dr. DeLucchi is great - he's easy to work with, is skilled at his adjustments, and recommends helpful stretches and exercises.
Dr. Jeffrey Marks (N W Pediatric Dentistry)
My kids really like Dr Marks and his staff. They always come out of their exam & cleaning with fairly positive editorial (which is a lot to ask for a trip to the dentist).
Dr. Matthew Epstein (Green Lake Oral and Facial Surgery)
Dr Epstein has helped out my daughter a couple of times now, and he's quick, efficient, skilled, and really good with responding to the needs of my daughter (during a time when she's particularly reticent/uncomfortable/anxious).
Dr. Sarah Archibald (Ballard Pediatric Clinic Inc)
While she was our pediatrician, Dr. Archibald was really great with the kids. She was easy to talk to, articulate, and had a wonderful bedside manner that helped put my kids at ease.
Dr. Tiffany Snyder (UW Medicine)
Dr. Snyder is wonderful with my two daughters. UW Medicine has a "cradle to grave" philosophy, which means you don't have to lose your children's doctor when they're no longer "pediatrics".
Eyes on Fremont
This shop has a large number of very rad frames and their staff is super friendly. They'll patiently work with, suggesting as many frames as it takes, until you find something that you love.
Green Lake Orthodontics
Dr Cassidy is great. We've been working with her on a plan that's in line with my parenting/healthcare philosophy (no surgery/highly invasive procedures unless absolutely necessary) and she's flexible, knowledgeable, and clearly looking out for the long-term health of my daughter.
Seattle Day Doula
I'm a huge fan of helping new families out upon the arrival of a newborn. This postpartumn outreach doula service makes a wonderful gift for new mothers. Whether it's light housework, maternal services references, someone to watch your baby while you take a long nap, or just someone to talk to, Seattle Day Doula is a welcome addition to the maternal services community here in Seattle.
Via Radiology
These guys can run a CT Cardiac Calcium Scoring test and it's quick and inexpensive. Calcium Scoring is a scan used to assess coronary artery disease and is recommended if you have a history of vascular problems in your family.
Special Occasions
Essenza is one of Fremont's treasures. They have jewelry, soaps, perfumes, robes, baby clothes & stuffies, and more. It's the near-perfect pre-Valentine's Day stop for men, and Rachel/Wendy/etc will hook you up.
Men's Clothing
Scott has one of the best men's clothing stores in Seattle. They have a regular rotation of seasonal clothes plus tailoring & alterations. If you're not sure how to dress yourself, go see Scott and he'll hook you up.
One Shot Studio (Woodinville)
Recording Studio
Dylan is an incredibly talented producer and is really easy to work with (when he's not making fun of you for signing off key). His studio has absolutely top-notch recording gear.
Portage Bay Goods
Specialty Shop
This is one of Seattle's best card shops. I buy all of my cards, for all occasions, from this shop. They also have a wonderful assortment of small gifts, games, art, jewelry, notepads, and pseudorandom articles of clothing (socks, baby hats, scarves, etc).
Sea Wolf (Wallingford)
Everything has been better since Sea Wolf opened up a location on Stone Way. Their bread is wonderful, as are their croissants (and other baked treats).
Super Jock 'N Jill
Shoe Store
This is a great store in which to purchase running shoes. The helpful folks inside inspect your stride and offer up a handful of different styles to provide the best fit for your running style.
Theo Chocolate
Located in Fremont center, Theo Chocolate has been producing an amazing array of chocolate-based treats for many years now (and you can sign up to tour their factory). They make a stunning/custom replica of both a Snickers Bar[TM] and a Butterfinger[TM].
Uneeda Burgers
I feel lucky to have these guys in my neighborhood. They serve a large variety of gourmet burgers made with grass-fed beef, alongside wine, beer & shakes.
Animal Encounters
We had Zoo For You come out for one my daughters birthday parties and it was such a wonderful experience for the kids who attended. The Animal Encounters staff did a great job with both setup and post-event clean up (which is key, if you think it through).
Blue Highway Games
Game Store
Whenever I need games or puzzles for my kids (say, at the start of a winter or spring break), I visit Blue Highway. They have a dizzying array of games for people of all ages. You'll likely find yourself spending a lot more time in there than you planned...
Clown Buggie
Kids Entertainment
We hired these guys for face painting, balloon art, and spin art and they were awesome. The face painting was as good as I've ever seen .. the kids had a great time.
Creative Music Adventures
Kids Music Lessons
I really like CMA. They offer instruction in about a dozen instruments and their teaching staff is really great with kids. They offer a free trial lesson and also have recently started a summer camp.
Dr. Liz Smith
Learning Evaluation
Dr Smith continues to set the standard for thoughtful, insightful and ultimately very helpful learning evaluations here in Seattle.
The Red Balloon Company
Kids Party Supplies
This is a great store. If you're planning a birthday party, or want some seasonal crafts, this is your place. They also have a fairly large selection of toys, games, stuffies, and gifts, and the quality of all of that stuff is really high; they clearly curate their merchandise very well.
Advanced Tint
Car Window Tinting
Advanced Tint applied an opaque window coat to a three large windows surrounding my pool. The tint looks great and was clearly properly applied (as it's been exposed to chlorinated water countless times and is still fine).
Hawthorne Stereo
I'm a big fan of these guys. I was shopping for some speakers and an amp, and went to a couple of stores, and was mostly told "No, that's not what you want", and the presented with all of these wacky ideas (like ceiling-mounted speakers, or recessed wall speakers covered by a mesh cloth). I went to Hawthorne and they hooked up a system just like I wanted. They answered a ton of questions, helped recommend other vendors I needed, and the gear I ended up with sounds amazing. "A pretty nice place" indeed.
I-90 Motorsports
Motorcycle Dealership
I've purchased three bikes from I-90. Go talk to Don (in sales) and he'll quote you a fair/reasonable price without a lot of discussion/haggling. The parts department is great as well. The service department is a bit pricey.
Matt's Greenwood Auto Care
Auto Mechanic
Matt's always takes the time to explain what they're going to do, how long it will take, and how much it will cost (and they're quite accurate).
Firefly Therapeutic Massage
Massage Therapist
Dana is wonderful. She's particularly good at having a quick discussion about what's hurting and then specifically treating that area.
Gregg's Cycle
Bike Shop
I took my kids here for their first bikes and it was such a great experience. The staff was knowledgable, and helpful, and we've been on the Burke regularly since.
Puget Sound Keeper Alliance
These guys are great - they have three main mechanisms for clean water protections in and around Puget Sound: (1) the actively monitor waterways for pollution (2) they advocate for water protections at the legislative and judicial levels and (3) they do community outreach and education.
Artist & Craftsman Supply
Art Supplies
This store is fairly well-hidden (therefore it's not particularly well-known), but once you find it you'll see a dizzying assortment of art supplies, ranging from "great stuff for my kids" to "professional artists".
Cafe Con Todo
My current favorite cafe in Fremont (please don't ever change). This sleepy little place is cafe by day, salsa studio by night and is quiet enough that you can talk, write, or work in a peaceful environment and drink great [Slate Coffee Roasters] coffee.
City Cellars
Speciality Food and Wine
This small shop in Wallingford center has one of the best selections of wine in the city. Michael has a wonderful nose for wine and offers up a wide variety of regions/varietals.
Crowd Cow
Speciality Food and Wine
I really love what CrowdCow is doing. They're providing beef from well-raised animals, healthier land, and successful farms (which are also sustainable). They have some great seasonal additions (like turkey around Thanksgiving), as well as the occasional chicken and/or pork.
Dave Page
Dave Page is an old-skool cobbler in Fremont center. They were kind enough to fix the straps on my heavy bag after they wore away enough to tear in half.
DeLaurenti (Pike Place Market)
Speciality Food and Wine
DeLaurenti's is easily my favorite food store in Seattle. They have a huge selection of olive oil, sauces, imported pastas, and also a huge cheese & speciality meat selection.
Dusty Strings
Acoustic Guitars
Dusty Strings is an iconic acoustic instrument shop that also has a great instruction program. They sell a number of instruments and occasionally host a traveling show for new Taylor Guitar offerings.
Fresh Fish Co
Seafood Market
I've been going here for years for fresh fish. They also have crab cakes (and crab legs), an assortment of vegetables, some meat/sausages, and wine. It's a great little shop.
Irwin's Cafe
I've been going to Irwin's for many, many years, originally drawn in by their pumpkin & blueberry muffins. Linda & Rachel are still going strong (their Blue Star drip coffee is worth the trip alone).
Lighthouse Coffee
Lighthouse is where I buy all of my home-brewed coffee. Their "Lighthouse Blend" is great in a french press.
Milstead & Co.
Andrew & Co have been serving up some of the best coffee in Seattle for several years now. It's my favorite local coffee shop (which is saying a lot given how much competition there is). I love going in and choosing one of their three daily offerings - I'm never disappointed.
Shop Task
Recreational Activities
Luckily enough for us, Seattle has one of ~4 Shop Task outlets in North America. These guys live and breathe roller blades. They have a wide selection, along with helmets and wrist guards (and they're great with making your blades as comfortable as possible with wheel adjustments and ankle boots).
SwimGuru, Inc.
Swimming Lessons
I'm a huge fan of Swim Guru. They have an incredibly effective program that will really help parents feel good about their kids being around water. The initial set of lessons culminates with your kid jumping into the pool fully clothed (big jacket, shirt, pants, socks, and shoes) and navigating their way to safety .. they're definitely not kidding when they say your kid will know how to swim.

This is my first blog post and I think the best way to start is by giving you all a little insight into my 2017 year of racing…
This post is not that exciting as I didn't want to get into all the details, I mean it would turn into a twenty page essay if I did. So its pretty much a summary of my year!
The Begining
I started the season with a pretty good idea with what I was planning on doing. I had plenty of racing in New Zealand, Australia and I had also planned a trip to America and Canada to do some racing with a couple of friends.
The year started off with a bang and I become the National U23 time trial champion! This was such a huge accomplishment for me and was the perfect way to start the year. I then raced in Australia doing my first ever UCI races as part of the New Zealand road team; Tour Down Under, Race Melbourne and Cadel Evens Road Race. I was then back home doing local races for the Mike Greer Homes Women Cycling Team, before heading back to Australia for Oceania's.
I then got an opportunity of a life time. And this was to race for an American UCI women's cycling team – Team Illuminate. At first I was unsure of whether to join with the team, I had already organised my year and I didn't want to drop the commitments I had already made with others. I only knew one rider on the team, and was a little scared about jumping into the unknown.
However, I knew an opportunity like this would open so many doors for myself, and anyway life is about taking risks and exploring the unknown.
A changing point
After a camp in Australia and a little family holiday/more hard training in Noosa, I was on a flight by myself to San Francisco. I was so excited and anxious but ready to go explore what America had to offer! My first few days where pretty overwhelming as I was meeting new people and I was half way around the world from home. However, everyone around me was so friendly and I quickly started to feel less nervous, but not for long as I was about to start my first ever world tour! Arhhhhh, I was defiantly scared, but the team around me defiantly helped calm those nerves and I quickly became excited to race and enjoyed every moment of the tour.
The rest of the trip flew by and I got to stay and train in Menlo park, the riding there was awesome and I cant wait to go back again one day. I then traveled over to the other side of America and raced Winston Salem, I don't actually know where that is but it was one of the hardest races I have ever done! Next I went to Johnson City to race an Omnium tour. This was more low key, and I had so much fun with my team mates. Until Georgia crashed pretty badly, and I got to experience and American hospital with just a few crazies! I was then off to Colorado to train with my Kiwi friends before heading back to Australia to catch up with my parents.
Soon enough, I was heading away again. This time I was off to Whistler for some more hard training before starting my last racing block in America. This was all going good until I got hit pretty hard with illness. I think I court a bug on the plane flight over, but what ever it was it was really nasty and took ages to fight off. I went into my next tour a little off form as I was still feeling not quite right from being sick. I kept pushing through and was able to find form and improve as the tour went on – but it was a huge week nevertheless.
My last race in America was Tour of Colorado. Leading into the race I was starting to struggle, I do not know whether this was physically or mentally but I was feeling on and off each day. When I think back to it now I think I was just ready for a refresher. I had been away living out of my suitcase for almost four months, and I must admit the last few weeks I was starting to miss home for the first time. Despite my head space I was still really looking forward to racing Tour of Colorado. The tour was only two days, but we were racing at altitude and it was probably the hardest racing I had ever done… aha I feel like I said this every race I did over in America!
When it was time to pack my bags for the last time, I was really quite sad. I had some of my best experiences whilst I was away and got to meet some pretty incredible people. I had such an amazing journey but was defiantly ready to head back home.
Back Home
When back at home I was on my two week break, but a 'break' for me means time to do other sporting activities – I cant just do nothing! I spent my time enjoying lots of walks, mountain biking, lots of coffee runs as it was really cold and went skiing for day – would have liked to have liked to have gone skiing more but it was actually really expensive!
My season of racing wasn't actually finished as I still had some more local New Zealand races, but they fitted nicely into my base training as I started to prepare for my 2018 season.
So, that is pretty much a summary of my 2017 racing season!
I will be adding some more content about what I have done throughout 2017 – it was an awesome year and I would love to share more of what I got up to, and of course I will be posting heaps with what I got coming up.
Hope you enjoyed the little insight of my year,
Mikayla x
