A question I've had on my mind for awhile... What music (If any) do you listen to when reading SCPs/Tales?
It's been on my mind for a while and I've finally asked it. Do any of you listen to music while reading? If so, what kind of music genre/specific song do you listen to while reading SCP articles/Tales? Do you have a reason to listen to it or is it just something you listen to in general?
Personally… I have a few songs I listen to! Mostly Electronic music. But occasionally slip in the Electroswing here and there.
Oh. Whoops. I knew I probably put this in the wrong spot… Tibi gratias ago pulchra papilionem.
Tibi gratias ago pulchra papilionem.
I don't listen to anything specifically for SCP, but when I'm going about my day I listen to either my Spotify library, which is full of a lot of different albums I like, my much smaller Youtube playlist when I don't want ads, or just random podcasts/videos of people talking. It's mainly just background noise since I don't do well in silence.
Podcasts are nice to listen to when you have nothing else to do.

I love my Mohu antenna. I have 2 right now, one on each TV in the house. I love that it picks up local channels so that when I am using my Roku I don't have to lose out on things like local news or sports.
The Leaf Glide is the first of its kind. An indoor antenna with the power of an outdoor antenna. The Glide reaches up to 65 miles for a signal (most antennas are 20-25 miles). Using technology called SignaLift the Glide is able to pickup some of the lower frequency channels that other antennas may not get.
The Glide is definitely the largest antenna, but it's still paper thin and reversible. The best part about the Glide is that it's plug and play! Simply plug it into the back of the TV using the cords provided, let the channel scan run, and you are soon on your way to watching great local TV.
The Mohu Glide is the newest antenna in the collection, and here is what makes it special!
You can purchase a Mohu Leaf Glide online here for about $89.99.

Kim Kardashian recently admitted that she hates being pregnant. In a recent post on her website and app, she called it “the worst experience” of her life and confessed that it leaves her feeling “insecure” and “gross.” Predictably, she’s being vilified online for having complained about her difficulties getting pregnant and now lamenting the changes pregnancy is inflicting on her body.
But is it really surprising that women are having an increasingly hard time enjoying pregnancy and the postpartum phase given our cultural obsession with women getting their bodies back as fast as possible after having a baby? When Heidi Klum walked the runway five weeks after giving birth in 2009, it seemed absurdly fast and beyond unattainable for women who don’t have an army of personal trainers, chefs, and nutritionists on their payroll. But today the stakes are even higher. In both traditional and social media — women are showing off their weight loss just days after delivering.
But the relentless messages about getting back to where you were as soon as possible aren’t all foisted on women by media or companies hawking products to vulnerable expecting and new moms. For Sara Chiu, a 36-year old mother of two children under 3 in Vancouver, B.C., the pressure comes from closer to home. “When it comes to celebrities, I’m able to remind myself that they’re in the public eye and it’s their job to look good. Plus, they have help from trainers, nutritionists, etc.,” says Chiu. “But it’s harder when I look at my own friends with kids who have the same time and work constraints that I do. Social media photos are great for my friends and their kids, but they can elicit a pang of jealousy.” And intense self-scrutiny.
If we just let it.

Make New Contacts: The Business Expo gives you an opportunity to meet more people in one day than you might meet in an entire month (or more!). Make the most of this opportunity by creating a booth that encourages people to come speak to you. Also make time during the day to walk the show floor and increase your exposure.
Follow-Up For Success: You will meet hundreds of people at the Expo, and follow-up is the key to success. Keep business cards and contact information and make a plan to get in touch with your new contacts after the Business Expo.
Promote Your Booth: Give your current and prospective customers a reason to visit you at the Expo. Promote your booth in the weeks leading up to the event with emails, post cards, notes, in-store posters, etc.
A chance to win a prize if they visit your booth: This also gives you an opportunity to collect business cards from people at your booth that can be used for leads later.
Introduce a New Product or Service: Stimulate their curiosity and let them know you'll have a surprise at the Expo.
Demonstrate Your Products: You have only a few minutes to make an impression, so keep it short and sweet.
Promote Your Expo Booth: Do inserts in your billings to customers to promote the expo; do something small that would not incur additional postage. If you have one, use your newsletter to promote your expo participation.
Bold Colors for Best Visibility: Black lettering on a yellow or orange background is more likely to be read than if it's on a white background. Don't hold back- use colors like red, yellow or orange. Bright colors indicate an important message.
Eye Contact and Body Language: Give immediate attention to people entering your booth. If possible, have at least two people at your booth, so you can greet everyone. Don't look like your standing at attention, or put your hands in your pocket. If it helps, carry something in one of your hands. Greet people with a smile and act interested in their needs. In smaller exhibits don't stand in the center; stand off to the side, near the front corner of the exhibit.
Make Your Give-Aways Count: Eliminate the "grab and run" attendees. Don't stack your free giveaways on the table unless you want everyone to have them. Display only one to create interest. The best way to use giveaways is to carry a few with you, and after each conversation give the item as a thank you gift for visiting your booth. With this approach maybe you can afford a more valuable give-away now that you know they will be given only to those actually interested in your company's product or service. Another approach is to tie giveaways to some form of registration and questionnaire.
Did We Mention Follow-Up? Follow-up after the show is the best way to guarantee success. This is where many exhibitors drop the ball. Make use of the names you have gathered; send thank you notes, send out your informational brochures, follow-up on your sales leads, and fulfill your promises to send information immediately.

You go along for about twenty kilometers the beautiful Orkhon river to the south, then you take the fork to the west. You pedal for forty additional kilometers on uncrowded track by vehicle and with little gradient. The green and barren steppes home to many herds stretch away. You spend close to villages and nomadic camps. Bivouac near the village Battsengel, along the Tamir river.
You ride in the wide valley Ikh Tamir, following the course of the river. You are at the heart of the region Arkhangai or literally in Northern Khangai This province is particularly provided in archaeological remains from the Bronze Age to the thirteenth century. You are indeed close to the exceptional archaeological site Tsatsiin Ereg, a major site of the early first millennium in Mongolia. Over 26 “deer stones” and hundreds of petroglyphs were discovered in the last three campaigns. Many of these iconographies were defined as being associated with a funeral and ritual context, near Graves first nomadic tribes.

Only in 1220 Chinghis Khaan declared it as the capital city of his Empire. Until 1235, Karakorum seems to have been little more than a ger town, and Ogedei Khan gave the decree to build the Karakorum. After the collapse of the Yuan dynasty, in 1388, Ming troops took and destroyed the town. We follow the Orkhon River Valley for the whole day, cycling across the vast lava flow. This is our final ride. Tonight staying in a ger camp.

After packing the bikes we drive to the Elsen Tasarkhai or “Little Gobi”, erected in the middle of the plains. You can have an optional camel riding on the sand dunes. The ecosystem of this park is particularly interesting, because the steppe and the taiga meet here. So, we can find a fauna and a flora that are characteristic of these two ecosystems, and also some wonderful landscapes, with the granite formations of Khogno Khan.

Writing original lyrics for a song can be challenging, as you want to make the song personal and specific to you. Good song lyrics will resonate with the listener and draw them in. To write unique lyrics, you first need to familiarize yourself with the clichés to avoid, and then work on establishing your own personal style. Then, brainstorm topics and get writing. Make sure you polish them afterward so they are at their best for your listeners.
Deviate from simple rhyme schemes. It may feel natural to go with an AABB or ABAB rhyme scheme that contains only perfect rhymes, but this may make your songs sound familiar or even a little boring. Try to get creative with how you rhyme. Throw a slant rhyme in your lyrics every now and then, go with a more advanced rhyme scheme like ABCB, or combine two different rhyme schemes to put an original spin on your song.
Stay away from pronouns. It may feel natural to refer to your girlfriend as “she” or your dad as “he” in your lyrics. To give your song a unique touch, include their actual names, their nicknames, or descriptive phrases of who they are.
Listen to genres that you don’t normally listen to. If you only listen to pop country, your songs will likely resemble pop country songs because that’s the style that you’re most familiar with. If you want to come up with your own unique style and sound, listen to several different genres of music, even ones you don’t particularly like. Think about what songs within the same genre have in common and how they’re different from songs in other genres.
Combine different influences. Identify what aspects of different songs you like and don’t like. If you get stuck while writing lyrics, reflect back on what you like about different types of music and try to incorporate those aspects into your lyrics. This will help you develop your own style instead of mimicking one specific one that already exists.
For example, you might find that you like the relatable storytelling of country and the fast-paced rhyming of rap. Try combining these two when you write lyrics.
Experiment with different song structures. While most music you hear on the radio is in Verse/Chorus form, there are many great songs that use other structures. If you like your lyrics but the song still sounds unoriginal to you, try rearranging them into Strophic (AAA) or Ballad (AABA) form.
Strophic songs have the same melody for each successive stanza, while ballads have two identical stanzas, a unique third stanza, and a final one that sounds just like the first two.
“Amazing Grace” is an example of a song that’s written in strophic form.
“Can’t Help Falling in Love” by Elvis Presley is an example of a ballad.
“Yellow” by Coldplay is an example of a Verse/Chorus song.
Come up with a cohesive, authentic story. Before you start writing, decide what you want to write about. You can pick nearly any topic and still create solid lyrics, as long as the topic is something that you care about and that’s on your mind. To improve your chances of having original lyrics, reflect on something real while you write instead of forcing yourself to write about something common, like romantic struggle.
Are you currently upset about that mean thing your best friend did yesterday? Are the fall leaves making you feel a heightened appreciation for nature? Are you frustrated about your writer’s block? Use those real emotions to write your lyrics.
Take a different approach to a familiar theme. Most songs are written about familiar themes like “love,” “loss,” “family,” and “heartbreak.” Take a familiar theme and put a unique twist on it. Think about how you can make a well known theme different or specific to you.
For example, if you’re feeling inspired by a recent break-up, reflect on what was unique about the relationship and its end, and focus on writing lyrics that specifically express those unique details.
Write a surprising first line. The first lines of your song should include a “hook” that draws your listener in and keeps them listening. Create first lines that catch the listener off guard and pique their interest. Instead of starting with something familiar, come up with a statement or image that listeners may perceive as slightly odd or unclear.
For example, The Rolling Stones’ “Sympathy for the Devil” starts off with the words, “Please allow me to introduce myself/I’m a man of wealth and taste.” This opening piques the curiosity of listeners because it doesn’t clearly reveal what the song will be about.
Use metaphors and similes. Metaphors compare one thing to another. Similes use “like” or “as” to compare one thing to another. Both literary devices are great for adding specific detail to your lyrics. Use them to describe your feelings and emotions in a unique way.
Paint a picture with imagery. If your lyrics provide a certain image or scene, then the song will more likely stand out to listeners and also be remembered by them. Lines that vaguely express what happened, like, “We spent our time together/and got to know each other well,” may come off as boring to readers. Instead, get more detailed and creative about how you communicate to the listener.
Use stream of consciousness to write lyrics. To add spontaneity to your lyrics, try singing whatever comes to mind in the moment. Play a melody and sing your thoughts as they come. Choose words that fit the melody and write them down.
For example, you may end up with a song about life on Mars because you simply let your imagination run wild and jotted down lyrics as they came.
You can then look over them later and decide which lyrics you’d like to keep.
Impose limitations and constraints on your lyrics. Maybe you challenge yourself to write the song using only certain words or phrases. Or perhaps you try writing each verse about a different period in your relationship with your former lover. Take a concept and apply it to the song so you have to write within specific limitations or rules. This may inspire you to think more creatively.
Adopt a perspective that is different than your own. Think about how your past romantic partners might view you now and write from their perspective. Or try writing song lyrics from the perspective of someone who has completely different political or social views than you. Adopting a different perspective can challenge you to think outside of your comfort zone.
You can also try sitting in a public space and thinking of song lyrics from the perspective of strangers around you. Or you may write from the perspective of a parent, peer, or close friend.
Try the cut up technique. This was a popular songwriting technique for artists like David Bowie and David Byrne. Make photocopies of pages in your diary or journal and cut out different words or phrases. Then, rearrange them to form interesting lyrics for your songs.
You can also cut words out of magazines and newspapers to form lyrics.
Write with a partner. You may find it easier to collaborate with a friend, family member, or peer to write the lyrics. Ask a close friend or peer to help you come up with unique lyrics for the song. Maybe you each contribute a stanza to the song, writing about a common theme from your individual perspectives.
You can also try writing a song that is a duet with someone else. You may both decide to sing your own verses and the chorus together.
Sing the lyrics out loud. Listen to how the lyrics sound when spoken or sung aloud. Notice if they are unique and particular to your perspective, or the point of view of someone else. Make sure you use metaphor, simile, and imagery to make the song come alive for the listener. Also, make changes to parts of lines that feel awkward, too wordy, or too short. This will improve the flow of the song.
You should also make sure there are no spelling, grammar, or punctuation errors in the song when you sing it aloud. If you are writing from the point of view of someone who has bad grammar or spelling as part of their character, it may be fine to leave them in.
Show the lyrics to others. Get friends, family, and peers to give you feedback on the song. Ask them if they feel the song is unique or different from other songs. Have them give you suggestions on how you can improve the song.
Be open to constructive criticism, as this will make it stronger and better in the end.
Set the lyrics to music. Play guitar or piano along to the lyrics or use an existing digital recording for the song. This can add the final component to the lyrics to make them feel complete.
If you do not play any instruments, you can ask friends who are musicians to set the lyrics to music for you.
If you’re very familiar with an instrument, you might find that it’s easier to write the instrumental music first, determine the vocal melody, and then write the lyrics.
Can kid be a singer and songwriter?
Yes, just know that you have to commit a lot of time to it. Knowing how to play an instrument helps.
Can a kid create unique lyrics for a song?
There is no reason why not. Be inspired by your life, the things you care about and your thoughts about the things you've already experienced.
I'm really shy; what can I do?
First, you can start out with your songs being private & personal. Then, when you're ready to show the world or even just some friends or family, go for it.
Do you need inspiration for writing a song?
Inspiration is one of the key components of writing. Think about something that has happened to you, or you would like to happen. Pay attention to what you are feeling during those moments. Match up your inspiration with your feelings so your song will flow nicely.
I am a beginner and I never finish my lyrics because I don't feel they are good enough. Can you help me with this?
Try to extract a message for your would-be listeners and concentrate on it. Think of situations that can match with the message for your song. Let the message be the chorus of your song. The most important thing is to bring out the message in the song. Rhyming the lyrics may come later when you are done with the message. All the while, concentrate on the actual sense and meaning of the lyrics you are trying to put together.
How do I know if I have copied someone else's music?
When you've written your lyrics, type them into a search engine and press enter. See if there are any songs that have MOST or some of your lyrics.
How can I write a song if I never have the time?
Work on it a little bit every day.
What if I don't have any inspiration?
Think of something that has happened to you in the past, and write it down in song form. Think about how it started, what happened, and what the resulting feelings or resolution were. There should be enough there to inspire your song.
Is it okay if I copy the rhythm of a different song like Shawn Mendes' "Stitches"?
Many songs have similar rhythms, but to avoid copying, change up the beat, timing, and instruments used.
What if I can't write music like on the piano or guitar? Can I just write the lyrics?
Of course. Creating lyrics is probably the hardest part to songwriting.
To create unique lyrics for a song, start by focusing on your rhyme scheme. Try to incorporate internal rhyme into your lyrics as well as some end rhymes. Get creative with your rhyming by using near-rhymes and creative word placement. Throughout the song, use specific nouns and avoid pronouns, which can seem vague. Combine influences from different genres to tell a story. Once you have a catchy set of lyrics, try rearranging the lines to switch up the content and make it even more original. If you want to learn how to put your lyrics to music when you're finished with them, keep reading the article!

As a candidate, Donald Trump vowed that if elected he would use his business talents to make the best deals for the American people. But as president, Trump’s first foray into dealmaking failed miserably with the demise last week of the Republican plan to repeal and replace Obamacare.
What went wrong? Real estate deals and legislative deals are quite different — and Trump’s business experience is ill-suited for work with Congress. Here’s why.
What is the ‘art of the deal’?
Trump’s book “The Art of the Deal” deals with business negotiations, in which the basic protocol involves alternating offers between negotiating partners. When you want to buy something, you make an offer below the asking price. Then the seller makes a counteroffer, and so on until the two offers converge.
In this process, one of the two parties may say the following. “This is my final offer. Take it or leave it.” If the other party considers the statement credible, she makes the agreement with the terms offered. If not deemed credible, the parties continue to bargain, and the game continues (while the first player has lost his credibility).
In legislative bargaining, alternating offers are not part of the protocol. Nor do outside options exist. Indeed, despite news media suggestions that the president sets the legislative agenda with the State of the Union address, Congress sets its legislative agenda.
If a bill does not pass in Congress, the legislature can take up the initiative again, if it wishes to do so. And the president will most often wait until a bill clearing both chambers reaches his desk before he can sign or veto it. The president cannot directly intervene in the negotiations; whether the legislature is controlled by his party or the other party, he can act only behind the scenes.
Consequently, it makes no sense to say to the other players, “This is your last chance. Take it or leave it.” As a result, if you are the president and you make this statement, you’re not credible. More accurately, you cannot possibly be credible because you do not directly control the agenda.
Think about an alternative outcome on Obamacare repeal, in which House Speaker Paul D. Ryan (R-Wis.) comes back in a month or a year with a new proposal that can pass both chambers. Would anybody expect the president to veto it? If not, what is the meaning of the “take it or leave it” statement?
Further, “outside options” don’t exist in a legislature. The president cannot have several balls in the air. He does not have an alternative Congress. And alternative bills can be formally initiated only by Congress, not the president.
Granted, the president and legislative leaders may negotiate, behind the scenes, about their priorities. And Republicans (at both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue) surely discussed the order in which to introduce items on the agenda, like taxes, the wall, immigration, Obamacare and the environment. Such discussions probably concluded that Obamacare should go first, considering the more than 60 times the Republican House had voted to repeal the Affordable Care Act while Barack Obama was president. The GOP bill’s failure means that Republicans will soon turn to the next item on their agenda.
Trump’s attempt to transpose his business experience directly to politics did not fare well. This is to be expected, because the games are different. You cannot play basketball with a tennis strategy. There’s a reason the games of politics and policy are played by professional politicians. Newcomers have a steep learning curve, as the president is discovering.

EISAI AND MERCK & CO., INC., KENILWORTH, N.J., U.S.A. PROVIDE UPDATE ON SUPPLEMENTAL NEW DRUG APPLICATION (sNDA) FOR LENVATINIB IN FIRST-LINE UNRESECTABLE HEPATOCELLULAR CARCINOMA | News Release：2018 | Eisai Co., Ltd.
TOKYO March 25, 2018 – Eisai Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Tokyo, CEO: Haruo Naito, “Eisai”) and Merck & Co., Inc., Kenilworth, N.J., U.S.A. (known as MSD outside the United States and Canada), announced today that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has extended the action date for the supplemental New Drug Application (sNDA) for the multiple receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor LENVIMA® (generic name: lenvatinib mesylate) for the potential first-line treatment of patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
LENVIMA is approved by the U.S. FDA for the treatment of locally recurrent or metastatic, progressive, radioactive iodine-refractory differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC). LENVIMA is also approved by the U.S. FDA in combination with everolimus for the treatment of patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC) following one prior anti-angiogenic therapy.
LENVIMA is approved as a monotherapy for unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma in Japan (March 2018).
Eisai has submitted applications for an indication covering hepatocellular carcinoma in the United States and Europe (July 2017), China (October 2017), Taiwan (December 2017) and other countries.
In March 2018, Eisai and Merck & Co., Inc. Kenilworth N.J., U.S.A., through an affiliate, entered into a strategic collaboration for the worldwide co-development and co-commercialization of LENVIMA. Under the agreement, the companies will develop and commercialize LENVIMA jointly, both as monotherapy and in combination with Merck & Co., Inc. Kenilworth N.J., U.S.A.’s anti-PD-1 therapy. In addition to ongoing clinical studies of the combination, the companies will jointly initiate new clinical studies evaluating the combination to support 11 potential indications in six types of cancer, as well as a basket trial targeting six additional cancer types. The combination is not approved in any cancer types today.

Too often, we conflate the idea of “being spiritual” or the idea of acceptance with the New Age-y cliché that we can simply say no to suffering. We can learn to feel discomfort in a far more pure and direct way, without the additional burden of distorted thinking. But I still maintain that some things just hurt.

Cushman & Wakefield has arranged a roughly 25,000-square-foot lease renewal and restructure for SunTrust Bank at 777 Brickell, an office property totaling 288,485 square feet in Miami’s financial district. The longtime anchor tenant signed on for an additional 10-year term.
Located at 777 Brickell Ave., the property recently underwent an improvement program that included upgrades to the common areas, elevators and garage. The building features on-site management, 24-hour security, a full-service salon, covered parking and A restaurant on the ground floor.
SunTrust Bank has been anchoring 777 Brickell since the asset’s completion in 1978 and continues to hold top-of-building signage. The new lease agreement comprises 22,000 square feet of office space on the ninth floor and 2,810 square feet of ground-floor retail space. The bank will open a new, redesigned branch in the building’s lobby.
The Cushman & Wakefield team represented both the landlord and the tenant. Managing Director Andrew Trench and Vice Chair Brian Gale worked on behalf of building owner Alliance RE Holdings while Managing Director Jason Donald, Executive Director Tony Jones and Senior Director Ryan Levy worked with Thomas Crociata, first vice president at SunTrust Bank.
“We are pleased that ownership understands the benefit of SunTrust maintaining its position within the market and that it was willing to accommodate the new initiatives and branding SunTrust is rolling out to better serve its banking clients,” Donald said in a prepared statement.

While the Dangerous Summer’s 2009 full-length debut, Reach For The Sun, was a solid if unspectacular alternative-rock album, the sonic similarities to the Starting Line’s output made it hard to wholly embrace on its own merits. Such similarities are not absent on War Paint—AJ Perdomo’s vocals are always going to sound a lot like those of TSL’s Kenny Vasoli—but this time around, they don’t detract from the bigger picture; the band sound far more assured in just about every aspect of their songwriting. However, while certainly catchy and affecting on first exposure, War Paint is definitively a grower, requiring the listener to invest time in it so they can truly appreciate the rich melodies and emotional honesty at its center.
Though they speed things up a little on “No One’s Gonna Need You More” and “In My Room,” the band openly prefer working in mid or slow tempos; without taking the time to get to know the 11 tracks, it’s perhaps easy to mistake the slow-burning approach of some for lethargy. But to have hurried the likes of the aching “Good Things” or the plaintive crawl of “I Should Leave Right Now” would have stripped them of their grace and diminished their impact. Much of War Paint’s strengths, in fact, lie with the gorgeous and understated interplay between guitarists Cody Payne and Bryan Czap—chiming tones ricocheting and colliding one moment and then fusing together into a lushly textured rush the next. The title track, “Everyone Left” and “Siren” stand as particularly fine examples of this, and their powerful choruses rear up from their restrained grooves and shoot for the stars.
While most of the songs boast their own distinct personalities, the whole record feels touched by a melancholy tone that recalls the end of summers past—as if it marks a somewhat sad (yet optimistic) goodbye to a particularly meaningful time in the artists’ lives. The warmth generated by this is genuinely moving, and only grows in potency with successive listens, placing them on a trajectory to maybe one day sit comfortably alongside the likes of Jimmy Eat World and the now defunct Mae, which is a very nice place to be indeed.

If you’ve never heard of an Alpina, we can only assume you are in the US and therefore will forgive you…this time…sort of. If you don’t know, Alpina is the official-unofficial performance tuning division for BMW, and has been for over 50 years. In the early 1960’s, founder Burkhard Bovensiepen saw a business in enhancing the already performance-minded BMWs of the era. Bovensiepen’s first go at it was fitting a twin-carb setup on a BMW 1500 boosting power by 15%. That was 1963…and using the name of his family’s typewriter business, Alpina would go on to become the exclusive obscure high-performance car maker that not too many people know about.
Hmmm, what’s that? You thought that was what the M-division did? Good question…and it sort of is. The difference though is subtle between Alpina and an M car. The M-division is BMW’s in-house performance tuner, coming some 10 years after the Alpina experiment. An M car is simply an extension of the BMW company, built within the BMW factory and comes with factory warranties and repairs offered through BMW. Alpina started by taking an already made BMW off the production line, modifying it and reselling them as tuned cars. Now, Alpina is an independent manufacturer of cars based on BMWs with their cooperation. Alpina delivers parts to BMW which are used at the final assembly line in a BMW factory. Then BMW sends back the completed car to Alpina, where some are sold even at certified BMW dealers. M-division is all in-house BMW tuning, while Alpina is an independent tuner mostly for BMW but they also make their own cars. In summary, the M-division is to AMG as Alpina is to Braubus for Mercedes. Clear now?
Second Daily is proud to present for auction one of the most rare cars seen in the US. So rare in fact that it is believed this is the only example in North America. Meet the 2005 BMW Alpina B5, legally imported in 2012 through JK Technologies and modified to conform to U.S. emissions regulations. Acquired by the seller nearly 10 years ago, this particular E60 example is #096 of approximately 800 made. But unlike the B7, the B5 was never sent to the U.S. So layer on that only 800 were ever made in the world with the fact none ever crossed the pond under the Alpina-BMW cooperative. Power comes from a 4.4L radial ASA supercharged V8 modified from the E60 545i. Good for about 500hp and a tree-stump pulling 516 ft-lb of torque, it is mated to an Alpina tuned ZF 6-speed automatic gearbox. Looking for something your office mate doesn’t have? Look no further my friends.
This one ships from Florida with a clean clear title in the seller’s name. Second Daily will cover up to $200 of the cost of a pre-purchase inspection (PPI) if you order one and then go on to purchase the car. So bid with confidence knowing we’ve got you covered. You must make arrangements prior to auction close and successfully win the auction to receive the $200 credit.
This B5 is finished in Blue Onyx Metallic over smoke white/black leather and shows very well on the E60 Bangle body lines. Outside, the Alpina specific kit includes the side skirts, the front spoiler, the rear deck lid and the 19″ 20-spoke wheels. The seller notes there is a small dent on the rear bumper and some scuff rub marks under the front lip spoiler. The wheels have some slight curb rash showing and there is a small paint chip nicks on one of the door edges. The rear parking sensor located nearest the bumper dent is intermittently working. The front bumper retains its European licence plate fitment. Alpina has their own VIN, and you will notice the original 545 VIN has been crossed out at the factory. The suspension is Alpina factory.
The interior is a very clean white/black leather/alcantara combination with added Alpina door sills. The badged number plate showing build #096 rests just above your head behind the overhead light assembly. Seating is ample for 4 adults with a folding 60/40 rear split seat with ski pass through. Rear seats are heated with a fold down arm rest. The trunk space in a 5-series is large enough for all those 4 adults’ luggage and then some, perfect for getaways or around the town hauling. The Alpina embossed white leather seats appear to be in great shape. Note the 3-spoke Alpina steering wheel, this commands the shifting for the Switch-Tronic transmission through two buttons (plus and minus).
To be clear, the car is basically Alpina stock although JK Technologies, the company responsible for the importation and US compliant conversion process, had to make changes to the ECU and the exhaust system to make it DOT/EPA legal. Specifically, they reprogrammed the ECU for the US 93 octane fuel and replaced the catalytic converters. Alpina claims power output is unchanged from stock and the owner, having owned it before and after conversion, agrees. US spec front and rear bumper shock absorbers and a US spec fuel tank were also part of the conversion. The car has new rear tires but it will need two front tires soon, and the hood struts are weak. There are no known accidents and no rust is reported or seen on the car. The seller has most of the records dating back to when the car was new. It has seen 3 different countries in its life so not everything is in English.
The E60 is a glorious car in its own right. I can personally add the E60 M5 is truly one of the greatest cars ever made. The E60 Alpina B5 is like an exclusive M5’ish that no one in North America has. Room for 4, a supercharged V8, 500hp and equally as much torque with a reserve price lower than a used Prius…what are you doing still reading? Go BID!!
Second Daily is an online curated auction house for specialty vehicles like you see here. Auctions run 24/7 and are 100% online. A reserve price has been set, so you must meet the reserve price with your bid in order to win the auction. If your bid is below the reserve, you may continue to bid until you hit the reserve price. The estimated value of the vehicle will give you an estimated indication of where the reserve price sits.
It didn’t. $15k was the highest bid.
Looks like painted rear bumper and front bumper has fitment air gap on drivers side. Any records or close ups of this?
The rear bumper was never painted. JK Tech guys replaced rear parking sensors, but the ones they put in have a different color, that’s why it looks a little weird. I’ve only noticed this after a while of having the car back from them. One bolt was missing on the drivers’ side of the front bumper, but it was taken care of. I can send more pictures later tonigh if needed.
I found this car on mobile.de (the largest online platform for new and used cars in Germany), it was located in a show room of a small dealer called Bartl Automobile. I have no reason to doubt that it is an authentic car. The plaque is the part of the car and I also have no doubt that it was installed by Alpina employees.
Really nice Alpina. Applaud the effort in bring it here the proper way. Definitely a future collectible and at the price offered this is a bargain.
I was fortunate enough to experience the new B5 twin-turbo … the Alpina vs an M just isnt really comparable. Alpina is about giving you that rich luxury executive feeling AND top-level performance. Not a dig on the M5, just it’s not as comparable as people seems to always make it out to be.
And I can’t agree more with your opinion!
The new B5 bi-turbo looks like another masterpiece by ALPINA and a future classic. I also prefer current generation design over the previous one.

The Observation Hill – a great mound of earth – rises up from the ground below, offering views of the expanse of unencumbered African landscape all around. To its distant south, stands the even grander Kilimanjaro Mountains. To the north-east, and immediately from the base of the observation mound runs a linear body of water, a popular spot where elephant herds congregate and drink from, and cool themselves from the African heat. On the top of the mound presents a view out to wild Amboseli nature, the only site in this area of wilderness where visitors are allowed to be uncaged from the protection of their viewing safari vehicles to safely roam and hunt with their camera lenses the surrounding ecosystems of feathered birds and leathery hides; or else witnessing the quiet changes of climate on a slowly-shrinking wilderness, and perhaps vanishing species. Time does not sit still while the camera shutters click.
A wall is imagined to arc around and delineate the “safety zone” of visitors and views along the hilltop, set away from uncontrollable and untameable wilderness below. Along this curved wall, and set ten metres apart, one from the other, are isolated seats – benches set within steel frames, pulling each visitor out from their natural herds and placing them in confrontation of bare self, within the wilderness of landscape and open sky. And time. The walls are rammed-earth, or packed-mud, or mud-brick monuments that accumulates in layers and is made permanent by the baking of earth in the sun. But the wall is not built to last. Little by little the earth crumbles, and is eroded away by torrential downpours during the wet seasons of the African landscape. Both human and animal eyes quietly observe a “landform” that is also quietly changing – at times drying fast in resistance to natural entropy, and at other times chipping and dissolving away into ruins.
In time, the pavilion disappears – earth returning to earth, leaving behind its skeleton of iron and rust, and fragments. Architecture, here is a precarious monument and a reminder of an equally – if not more precarious wilderness in the natural landscape all around. While the wall vanishes, its sole absence registers as permanent.
This design exercise was produced as a competition entry for Archasm’s Call for Ideas for a Wilderness Pavilion on Observation Hill, in Amboseli National Park, Kenya. The premise was to “design a free standing pavilion in the heart of Amboseli National park that would allow visitors new ways to view and experience the wilderness and be close to nature”, with the proposal being a “poetic response” in a “very sensitive environment that would become the ‘eyes and ears’ for visitors who want to connect with the natural ecosystem and reflect upon nature in its true spirit”.
We came in top 25% out of 200 schemes submitted to the competition.

Mount Hood reflected in Mirror Lake water.
A mirror image (in a plane mirror) is a reflected duplication of an object that appears almost identical, but is reversed in the direction perpendicular to the mirror surface. As an optical effect it results from reflection off of substances such as a mirror or water. It is also a concept in geometry and can be used as a conceptualization process for 3-D structures.
Two-dimensional mirror images can be seen in the reflections of mirrors or other reflecting surfaces, or on a printed surface seen inside-out. If we look at an object that is effectively two-dimensional (such as writing) and then turn it towards a mirror, the object turns through an angle of 180º and we see a left-right reversal in the mirror. In this example, it is the change in orientation rather than the mirror itself that causes the observed reversal. Another example is when we stand with our backs to the mirror and face an object that's in front of the mirror. Then we compare the object with its reflection by turning ourselves 180º, towards the mirror. Again we perceive a left-right reversal due to a change in orientation. So, in these examples the mirror does not actually cause the observed reversals.
The concept of reflection can be extended to three-dimensional objects, including the inside parts, even if they are not transparent. The term then relates to structural as well as visual aspects. A three-dimensional object is reversed in the direction perpendicular to the mirror surface. In physics, mirror images are investigated in the subject called geometrical optics.
In chemistry, two versions (isomers) of a molecule, one a "mirror image" of the other, are called enantiomers if they are not "superposable" (the correct technical term, though the term "superimposable" is also used) on each other. That is an example of chirality (chemistry). In general, an object and its mirror image are called enantiomorphs.
If a point of an object has coordinates (x, y, z) then the image of this point (as reflected by a mirror in the y, z plane) has coordinates (-x, y, z). Thus reflection is a reversal of the coordinate axis perpendicular (normal) to the mirror's surface. Although a plane mirror reverses an object only in the direction normal to the mirror surface, there is usually a perception of a left-right reversal. Hence, the reversal is called "lateral inversion". The perception of a left-right reversal is probably because the left and right of an object are defined by its perceived top and front, but there is still some debate about the explanation amongst psychologists.The psychology of the perceived left-right reversal is discussed in "Much ado about mirrors" by Professor Michael Corballis (see "external links", below).
Reflection in a mirror does result in a change in chirality, more specifically from a right-handed to a left-handed coordinate system (or vice versa). As a consequence, if one looks in a mirror and lets two axes (up-down and front-back) coincide with those in the mirror, then this gives a reversal of the third axis (left-right).
If a person stands side-on to a mirror, left and right will be reversed directly by the mirror, because the person's left-right axis is then normal to the mirror plane. However, it's important to understand that there are always only two enantiomorphs, the object and its image.Therefore, no matter how the object is oriented towards the mirror, all the resulting images are fundamentally identical (as Professor Corballis explains in his paper "Much ado about mirrors", mentioned above).
In the picture of the mountain reflected in the lake (photograph top right), the reversal normal to the reflecting surface is obvious. Notice that there is no obvious front-back or left-right of the mountain. In the example of the urn and mirror (photograph to right), the urn is fairly symmetrical front-back (and left-right).Thus, no obvious reversal of any sort can be seen in the mirror image of the urn.
A mirror image appears more obviously three-dimensional if the observer moves, or if the image is viewed using binocular vision. This is because the relative position of objects changes as the observer's perspective changes, or is differently viewed with each eye.
A mirror does not just produce an image of what would be there without it; it also changes the light distribution in the halfspace in front of and behind the mirror. A mirror hanging on the wall makes the room brighter because additional light sources appear in the mirror image. However, the appearance of additional light does not violate the conservation of energy principle, because some light no longer reaches behind the mirror, as the mirror simply re-directs the light energy. In terms of the light distribution, the virtual mirror image has the same appearance and the same effect as a real, symmetrically arranged half-space behind a window (instead of the mirror). Shadows may extend from the mirror into the halfspace before it, and vice versa.
In mirror writing a text is deliberately displayed in mirror image, in order to be read through a mirror. For example, emergency vehicles such as ambulances or fire engines use mirror images in order to be read from a driver's rear-view mirror. Some movie theaters also take advantage of mirror writing in a Rear Window Captioning System used to assist individuals with hearing impairments watching the film.
It is also possible to create a non-reversing mirror by placing two first surface mirrors at 90º to give an image which is not reversed.

Last day at school for Anna Sophia Walbeck (Eaton Hernis Scan Systems), Linda Hye (University of Agder), Bjørn Viken (National Oilwell Varco Norway), Jeffrey Roberts (KSMV), Bjørn Saltermark (GCE NODE) and Gøril Hannås (NOV/University of Agder), as GCE NODE’s supply chain management course comes to an end.
The first supply chain management course scored big among participants.
“Based on interest and feedback from the 2015-course, we are likely to offer a 2016-course in supply chain management”, says Bjørn Saltermark, project manager at GCE NODE.
28 participants from 14 NODE companies completed the course at the University of Agder in November 2015. Almost half of them have took an exam, as a step towards a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree, depending on which level the candidate enters.
“I have been looking forward to every session. I haven’t missed any! I found the lecturers both knowledgeable and inspiring. This is something I want to spend the rest of my career doing”, says Anna Sophia Walbeck at Eaton Hernis Scan Systems.
“I gained new and useful knowledge. The course was designed to work independent of company size. I believe the course was of just as much value for the NOV team as for any participants from SMEs”, says Bjørn Viken at National Oilwell Varco Norway.
Jeffrey Roberts at KSMV concurs.
“In a small company like ours, we are full-time engineers at daytime and part-time buyers at night-time. This has been enlightening, says Roberts.
The supply chain management course is part one of GCE NODE’s three-part Cluster Development Program. The next two stand-alone parts are Research, Development & Innovation and Internationalization. RD&I will presumably start in the late spring or early fall of 2016.
The Cluster Development Program is funded by Sørlandets Kompetansefond, Innovation Norway, Listerfondet and Lindesnesfondet.

Dental implants are the state-of-the-art replacement method for one or several missing teeth. While implants provide a strong and natural tooth replacement, there is always a small risk of infection after the implant is placed. Here are three things you can do to minimize the chances of an infection after dental implant surgery.
Food particles that get trapped in the gum line or in the spaces between teeth and implants are the leading cause of plaque buildup and peri-implant infection (infection of the tissues surrounding the implant). Even if you maintain good dental hygiene, it can be difficult to remove 100 percent of stubborn food particles that have lodged themselves in hard-to-reach places. The best way to protect new implants from infection caused by leftover food particles is to choose what you eat carefully.
Certain soft foods leave fewer particles behind both because they require less chewing and because it is easier for saliva to rinse them away from your teeth. Examples of soft foods that you can eat during recovery from dental implant surgery include soups, mashed potatoes, soft fish such as baked tilapia, and applesauce.
While the tissues around a new dental implant are still sore and healing, it can be painful to apply the pressure necessary to properly clean the base of the implant. Fortunately, there are specialized tools that can remove plaque and food particles around implants without causing any pain during your recovery. One of the most popular options is a water flosser, which uses a small rotating head and a jet of water to gently clean implants without applying excess pressure to the gums.
While dental health may not be the first thing you think of when it comes to health risks of smoking, tobacco smoke significantly increases the risk of infection following dental implant installation. Additionally, smoking causes a number of negative affects that contribute to the loss of natural teeth and make eventual failure of dental implants more likely.
Tobacco smoke contributes to infection around new implants by inhibiting the body's immune response. Smoking reduces blood flow to oral tissues, limiting their ability to fight bacteria that causes inflammation of the socket around the implant. Smoking further promotes infection by reducing saliva production, allowing more food and bacteria to cling to your teeth.
Use these tips to avoid peri-implant infections so your new implants can heal correctly and stay strong for years to come. Contact a company like Webster Cosmetic Dental LTD for more information.

FORT CAMPBELL, Ky. - The 101st Airborne Division is trying to save its illustrious 506th Infantry Regiment, whose origins date to World War II's fabled "Band of Brothers," from deactivation under the Army's massive restructuring.
The Army announced this week that at least 12 combat brigades nationwide are to be eliminated by 2017 under sweeping military reductions, among them the 4th Brigade Combat Team at Fort Campbell, Ky.
The brigade traces its lineage to the 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, created in 1942, at Camp Toccoa, Ga.
The 506th was among several parachute regiments created to sneak behind enemy lines in the war. Nicknamed "Currahee," which is a Native American Cherokee term for "stands alone," the regiment parachuted into Normandy during the D-Day invasion in 1944 and then later parachuted into Holland. The regiment raced to liberate Europe amid bouts of fierce fighting in Bastogne, Belgium and then overran Hitler's famed "Eagle's Nest" in Germany.
The regiment wasn't associated with the "Band of Brothers" nickname until the book by historian Stephen Ambrose came out in 1992, reigniting interest in the regiment among the public. The subsequent HBO miniseries produced by Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks about the men of Easy Company won national acclaim.
Brig. Gen. Mark Stammer, acting senior commander of the 101st Airborne Division, said the division wants to preserve the regiment's two battalions, along with its flags and its historical legacy.
He said during a news conference Thursday at the post on the Tennessee-Kentucky state line that the regiment's battalions should be transferred to two of the division's three remaining infantry brigades.
The Army's restructuring plan also calls for adding an additional battalion, which is between 600-800 soldiers, to its remaining infantry and armor brigades.
If Washington's defense and budget planners approve of such a plan, Stammer said "the 506th will live, but it will just live in another brigade combat team."

I was sent a package of Hemp Hearts to review by Manitoba Harvest. Incredible versatile, this product was added to cereal, yogurt and salad, all of which were delicious. I have even put some on top of toast with peanut butter and sliced banana's for an extra nutritional boost.
Like Almonds, Hemp Hearts are a little high on the fat content at a whopping 20 percent of the recommended daily value for 3 Tbsp (30 g) of Hemp hearts. Consider that this provides you with 10 grams of protein and 110 percent of the recommended daily intake of Manganese, 30 percent zinc and 70 percent magnesium to name a few; I consider Manitoba Harvest Hemp Hearts to be a dietary staple.
Disclaimer: I received a bag of Manitoba Hemp Hearts for the purpose of this review. All opinions are my own and are based upon my product experience. Your experience may differ. I received no additional compensation for this review.

I bet you never thought cheese was good for rolling! A Techo known as the Cheese Maker provides a shop with exotic cheeses, which buyers race down the great hills of Meridell. Give it a try, and see how fast your cheese can roll!
The goal of Cheeseroller is to roll your cheese down a hill in 60 seconds or less, while hoping to avoid obstacles that can slow you down. You won't actually be able to see your cheese roll, but the game will display your progression each time you roll your cheese. You may play up to three times a day.
To begin, type in the name of the cheese you wish to purchase, then click the 'Buy' button. You can check the table below to see a full listing of all the available cheeses and their price; the shop itself doesn't show or list the cheeses.
Once you've purchased your cheese, click the 'GO!!!' button. You will then be presented with the main game screen as shown below.
Select a movement from the drop down list, then click the 'Go!' button. As your cheese rolls down the hill, the time can pass slowly or quickly, depending on the movement you choose. The game will sometimes give you a random obstacle (which can 8+ seconds to your time). Sometimes, it will instead tell you that the cheese has suddenly moved faster.
The distance of the hill will always be 120m for each race, and it will take 12 movements for your cheese to reach the finish line. Each time a movement is made, the distance will decrease 10m until it reaches 0m.
If you finish the game and reach the bottom of the hill in 60 seconds or less, you get to keep the cheese you bought at the beginning of the game, and you will receive a Neopoint reward.
Here are all the available cheeses you can purchase. You can also click on the item image to view more information in our Item Database.
You begin with a jackpot of 3,000 NP. For every second you take, it will decrease by 30 NP. So, at 30 seconds you would have 2,100 NP remaining, at 60 seconds 1,200 NP, and so on. Your score will also be given a rating to reflect how well you did. The table below will show the possible score and ratings.
For a few days around August 1, 2018, the starting jackpot was raised to 3,000 NP, with it still decreasing at 30 NP per second to get down the hill.
If you have information about the rating for times under 42 seconds, please submit a bug report here!
Finishing below 60 seconds or making the high score table requires partial luck. This game is not entirely random, as some might believe. When you use 'Dive Left' or 'Dive Right' consistently, it will help prevent obstacles more often than other movements, leading to a smoother and faster roll. More expensive cheeses also have a greater chance of rolling faster.
The avatar is randomly awarded when you finish within 60 seconds. Choosing only 'Dive Left' or 'Dive Right' will give you the greatest chance of getting a score in that range.
Use 'Dive Left' or 'Dive Right' consistently to help avoid obstacles.
Buying more expensive cheeses helps increase the odds of your cheese rolling faster.
This game will not give high Neopoint rewards. Most people play to receive the avatar or trophy.
The cheeses you win rarely sell for as much as they cost you to buy.

Can you imagine what a world without lines would be like? At first, it seems wonderful to not have to wait around anymore, trusting that people will figure their business out. Disneyland, happiest place on Earth, receives about 44,000 people per day. Imagine a thousand people all rushing to get on the next available log flume. No longer just a tower of terror, but a whole theme park.
When designing PCBs, your traces are the lines and each has a particular signal it should be carrying. When this is not maintained, you have confusion or noise. In communication systems, PCBs are usually called upon to generate and process digital and analog signals with varying frequencies, constant DC power signals and do so according to timing regimens. All of these can cause signal integrity issues, such as electromagnetic interference (EMI).
EMI is unwanted noise that can cause erratic behavior and in some cases overloading which may lead to component damage. It is not possible to eliminate all noise from your design; however, by employing a few simple rules for component placement, trace routing and grounding the signal integrity issues associated with EMI can be greatly reduced.
How Does Component Placement Affect Signal Integrity Issues?
Rule one for reducing EMI effects is to partition your board components according to the types of signals that they use. Typically, this will lead to at least of the following component sections on your PCB.
Whenever possible component sections should include external inputs and outputs. For components that includes multiple signal types, such as processors and converters (A/D or D/A), place component across borders for the partitions and keep signal types and components separated as much as possible.
When routing traces, it is recommended to use short wide traces instead of long ones. Long traces increase resistance and power dissipation. Another good rule for inputs and outputs is to use differential routing, where one trace is for the signal and one is for the return.
When using differential routing, make sure the traces are the same length and as close together as possible. This will cause noise cancellation between them. Keeping careful attention to your routing will always be rewarding for your designs; however, you’ll see that with EMI related issues specifically, routing can take you a long way.
Probably the most important rule to reduce EMI is to employ good grounding techniques. Not doing so can lead to a number of signal integrity issues, such as crosstalk, distortion and of course, noise. Here is a list of rules that you should follow to minimize these signal integrity issues.
Create a digital ground layer adjacent to the signal layer.
Keep digital and analog ground current separate.
Use the star grounding system, where all circuits ground at a single point, for analog circuits.
Liberally use bypass capacitors. Connect them directly to the signal pin they are being used to bypass and ground.
Use unused board area as ground.
Following these guidelines will help route stray signals to ground and away from signal traces.
Signal integrity issues can significantly affect the performance of your board and should be taken into account when designing your board as part of a good design for manufacturing (DFM) practice. It is even more critical when designing PCBs for communications systems that you consider the various sources of noise that can distort your signals. EMI, which can be generated by a number of common communications PCB components, is a major signal integrity issue.
Incorrect trace routing can perpetuate interference throughout your system and degrade your signal quality. Appropriate grounding is another signal integrity issue that must be addressed during your PCB design. Successfully addressing these signal integrity issues during your PCB design is the first step to ensure your communication device and your customer is happy.
Don’t let a crack in your grounding keep EMI popping up in your designs.
Incorporating a good design strategy for communications systems can be difficult. However, with an advanced PCB design software package, such as Altium Designer, and the analysis capabilities of PDNA you have the tools to design a board that is optimized to minimize signal integrity issues.
For more information about signal integrity issues and how to design your PCB to minimize them, contact an Altium PCB design expert.

You got to love simple socks-- Cast on, make a cuff, and then miles of simple stocking knit--a bit of shaping for the heel, a few decreases and more stocking knit.
Self striping yarn is perfect for simple socks. The stripes and patterning make things interesting all by themselves. I find I alternate between fancy stitch work, and simple socks.
The current socks are almost simple. Just a little bit of falderal.
1—The Cast On and Cuff.
The cast on is a tubular cast on—one of my frequent choices for socks—especially because I tend to like 1 X 1 ribbing.
A tubular cast on can be used for 2 X 2 ribbing.. but it’s a PITA—and there are other cast ons, that are just as stretchy, and just as attractive, and better suited to 2 X 2 ribbing.
After the cast on, I worked 3 rows of simple double knitting (K1, S1) and then joined into a round. At that point—I switched to white. A half dozen or so rounds latter--8 to be precise!--a black stripe, and then finally the self striping yarn.
I did 3 rounds of ribbing with the self striping—I tend to like my sock cuffs to be 1.5 inches—I dunno why—I just do.
Still just a bit of simple stripes elevate the cuff from plain to a bit fancy.
2—In theory, if these are simple socks, there is nothing more to say. I should just be working on 6 or so inches of leg in plain stocking knit—and letting all the design be what ever the jacquard yarn turns out to be.
BUT—(you knew there was a but, right?) sometimes, a simple sock looks nicer with a small detail.
They will continue down past the heel and into the instep –by placing them on the front of the sock, the heel (likely to be an after thought heel) won’t interfere with the smooth line of the cable.
For some reason—these little cables are being difficult—and I’ve not be successful working them with out a cable needle. Maybe it was a mistake to include them. But they are there for now!
Right now, the socks don’t look too turquoise—but that’s just were I started in the color/stripe pattern. You can see in the ball—turquoise is a dominant color!
Some things just never lose their charm:) I have bought a book for knitting two socks on one circular needle, but have not taken the time to learn. You've inspired me to try again!
PS I think the cables look just fine!
I usually like to create my own stripes (I feel more in control when I can choose colors and widths), but self-striping yarn is always a great way to get away from a billion little ends. Not to mention that watching the colors change by themselves is a treat!
Is that a brand new Kroy colorway that I haven't seen yet? or is it an old one that I missed before I learned to knit? I love it!!
Okay, I found the color. They are pretty.
