Red says danger, but Red may also mean HOT and that is exactly what Amber Rose is.
A hot woman is hot, a beautiful woman is beautiful and a naughty woman is naughty.
Now, put all those three women in one body and then put that body in a nicely cut red dress (or dresses) and you have yourself a dangerously irresistible woman…
After her stints with Kanye West and Wiz Khalifa, the 31-year-old of one child is still one of the hottest, a curve-queen with some an eye poking pair of breasts and dangerously voluptuous behind.
Though she is an American hip hop model, hip hop artist, fashion designer and actress, most of us will remember her as that blonde, beautifully curved American woman with some really huge boobs and an even heavier backside.
Her outrageously revealing dresses and quick to flash-skin attitude have given us ample views of her backside, upside, frontside and downside.
No matter the angle, Amber is sexy.
Now, in a red dress, she is a red, hot and dangerous bombshel
much time, effort — and money! — go into beautiful, frothy dresses. Just as important, though, is what goes underneath. Here are a few suggestions about where to shop for lingerie for the bride and her bridesmaids as well.
Aerie in Westfarms mall sells a few must-have items for the up-to-date (and budget-conscious) bride. Assistant store manager Morgan Vadnais assists brides frequently. "They flock to our vintage lace undies in white or pale blue, which are included in our buy seven for $26.50 sale. Perfect for the honeymoon, too! Another popular item is our backless bras with sticky cups to wear under a wedding dress." Available in nude lace, plain nude, black or black lace, these are priced at $35.
Contessa Shop in West Hartford Center has been in business for 57 years. With personalized customer service, it is an excellent option for a bride who needs a little help figuring out the necessary undergarments for her big day. One item called the invisible torsolette — essentially a longer corset — is constructed with light boning to slim and cinch the waist and curve the hips. Owner Maria Colasacco says "brides are buying white lacy corsets, strapless, long ones with garters or shorter styles. The brands we carry are Carnival or Goddess. Also the pretty, cheeky boyshort in white lace for $25 is perfect for a wedding day." Contessa Shop also carries lace garters, small white satin handbags and lace handkerchiefs.
Owner Christine Dimaio took over Irene's Lingerie Shop in Plainville from her mother, so she knows a thing or two about unmentionables. Dimaio says, "A lot of brides are wearing strapless bustiers, so it's important to have the perfect size." With a chuckle, she also notes "the girls want to be pushed up." Irene's also offers garter belts, shapewear and girdles so those in the wedding party have the best fit for their dresses. One trend noted by Dimaio is the return to the white or ivory two-piece peignoir set. "But the girls also want something sexy for their honeymoon: A black lacey Mystique-brand chemise works."
In Hamden, Lady Olga's Lingerie is the place to be fitted for correctly sized bras and bustiers for your wedding day. Owner Jeniene Furgson says: "Brides come to us for the proper undergarments, strapless bras, Spanx or torsolettes so the bride can dance and be comfortable and not pulling on her dress or lingerie the whole time. We also sell initimate apparel, short and long peignoir sets too. Another popular item is a PJ boxer set with matching short-sleeve top that says Mrs. or bride on it, selling for $55. We also sell a silk charmeuse little wrap in white, decorated with Swarovski crystals." In addition to brides, Furgson says mothers of the bride, bridesmaids and even mothers of the groom come in to shop. "We fit the whole wedding party."
Lulu's Boutique in Guilford offers a bride and her bridesmaids a personal shopper's touch. "Brides come in for our Hanky Panky-brand, cream-colored underwear that says I do, or bridesmaid or maid of honor in Swarovski crystals," says manager Michele Platt. "Also popular are chemise nightgowns with matching robes in short or long, available in white, cream, black and colors. We also carry bridal robes and wraps that say bride or bridesmaid for the girls to wear when they are getting their hair done."
Narces brought the party to the runway with a new collection punctuated by playful patterns, cute cocktail dresses and fanciful frocks.
"There's always an undertone of not so serious, have fun with your eveningwear, enjoy what you're wearing," designer Nikki Wirthensohn said backstage at Toronto's World MasterCard Fashion Week on Tuesday.
"This was kind of the height of being whimsical and … bringing out the sense of humour, I guess, in how you can dress."
Entrepreneur Hayat Rachi has said that her Neon Moon lingerie range empowers women "through body positivity and the non-objectification of women", creating a product that "fits to women's bodies, rather than the other way around".
"I always wondered – if lingerie didn't have the sexualised context from the moment we are given our first bra, would it help girls pursue more in life? Not everything is about looking sexy, or fulfilling the male gaze," says Rachi.
"Women's bodies are changing all the time. External factors such as diet, stress and menstrual cycle can make women's bodies fluctuate."
The campaign for the lingerie brand is also very different to what women are used to seeing, with the models asked to refrain from removing any body hair or grooming for a week before the shoot.
According to the Huffington Post, all images for the range have also been released without the use of Photoshop.
"Girls should not have to question why they look a certain way or feel that they have to conform to society's pressures. It's important for girls to not compare themselves to unachievable standards of 'beauty'. Rather, they need to reclaim the right to their bodies and decide how it should look for them and not for others," she said.
"I wanted to show what a real woman looks like. They have pubic hair, stretch marks, cellulite and acne, it's important to show that."
For an industry that is ostensibly concerned with clothing the body, there's a surprising amount of nudity in fashion. A hint of nipple here, a buttock bared there, is all part and parcel of attending most fashion shows, and the flesh flashing only increases when it comes to the spring/summer collections.
Catwalk collections are there to make an impact, to showcase the extreme version of a designer's ideas. These are often modified for modesty by the time they are translated into the commercial versions that end up in store. Still, sheer fabrics abound this season, but can you incorporate them into real life without being arrested for indecent exposure, or falling foul of your company's dress code?
"This trend can work in everyday life," says Lauren Thurston, a specialist lingerie and swimwear site. "The key is adapting it to suit your lifestyle. You could wear a body under a sheer blouse to provide more coverage for work. Invisible lingerie allows the clothes to do the talking, while bright colours and neon make a feature out of your underwear for a night out. We wouldn't recommend going for a sheer bra under a see-through top though."
Kelly Dunmore, a lingerie stylist at Rigby & Peller, agrees: "There's a sliding scale to this trend, but the key thing to bear in mind is that your lingerie needs to complement the overall look not distract from it. Lingerie decisions need to look intentional – whether this is choosing a style and colour that works harmoniously or intentionally contrasts." As Rigby & Peller is blessed with a Royal Warrant, one wonders if the Queen takes such sage advice to heart.
Regardless of style, fit is the most important factor when choosing underwear – diaphanous fabrics are often also clingy or tight, adding an extra element of exposure. "Well-fitting lingerie is an absolute must-have with this trend, regardless of size or whether you're going for subtle or sexy," instructs Dunmore. "Well-fitted pieces will not only help achieve the perfect silhouette, but ensure that layering stays in place and that lines remain clean and minimal. This is especially true with strapless or bandeau pieces, which can slip out of place and give you overspill, whatever your size."
Clothing trends for fall 2015 weren't the only things drawing fashionistas to the tents at Vancouver Fashion Week. Models' hair and makeup also had the city's style-savvy crowd buzzing.
Before the event closes on Sunday, March 22, Metro reporter Thandi Fletcher sat down with lead hair stylist Chris Funk and lead makeup artist Yasmin Morshedian backstage for a full rundown of what's in for the season.
What are some new trends that are emerging for hair this fall?
Funk: We've definitely been seeing a lot of the vintage looks, whether that be with finger waves, victory rolls and some French twists. It's a modern twist on classic looks—kind of deconstructed and just a little bit messy. That's the thing with hair trends right now—nothing is perfect. Nobody really wants perfect hair. I feel like we've kind of been there and done that, so now the challenge is to create the disheveled, more natural look that is seemingly effortless.
What about hair-colour trends?
Funk: Colour is very much going in the same direction—very natural and sun-kissed, lots of caramels and it's very natural. Nothing is overdone. The dipped-ends trend is kind of on its way out. Ombre is still in. It's a very versatile colour—you can make it extreme or subtle. You can add balayage on top. The look is lighter on the ends. It looks like it might have just been from the beach, but nobody knows.
What about makeup trends? Are we seeing new looks for fall?
Morshedian: We have a lot of natural fresh looks going on, but I think what makes it really fall is that deeper, darker burgundy lip going on.
With the dark lip as the focal point, how can people prep their lips before applying colour?
Morshedian: If they have dry skin, it's good to always put a primer on before. If they want to get the true colour of the lipstick, sometimes it's nice to put a little concealer on. Just a tiny bit as a base.
How do you come up with these looks for each designer?
Morshedian: It's a collaboration of ideas together. Sometimes designers already have a really straight vision and they know exactly what they want, even in terms of makeup and hair. I just follow what they ask me to do and make sure they get that exactly look
American Apparel is trying to nip their dirty reputation in the bud.
The clothing company long been known for their racy ads featuring what critics have said are underage looking girls in barely-there outfits with their nipples and even pubic hair in full view.
In an attempt to distance themselves from their ousted 'sex-obsessed' former CEO Dov Charney and their infamous adverts, the company this week has begun photoshopping out some of the models' exposed nipples and body hair making them look more like plastic mannequins.
Animal reports that the changes can be seen on the company's lingerie page in the 'new' section and a brunette model in translucent lingerie who once had more showing on Thursday was edited to be much less exposed.
Scroll down for video
No nipple!: This American Apparel model in a translucent black bodysuit has a belly button but as of Thursday her nipples have been air brushed off in what may be the company's attempt to re-brand their image
Charney's replacement CEO Paula Schneider has said she is attempting to make the brand 'relevant to millennials' without it bordering on 'pornographic.'
'This is an edgy brand and it's always going to be an edgy brand, and it's about social commentary, it's about gay rights, and it's about immigration reform. It's about the things millennials care about,' Schneider told The New York Times in January.
While many may welcome the company's attempt to shave away their previous image, some activists think showing nipple is perfectly fine and empowers women in what otherwise may be a mannequin's world.
Michelle Lytle, co-founder of the nipple printed bikini line TaTa Top thinks that by censoring women and making them look like mannequins or dolls, the company is actually taking power away from women who should not feel ashamed of their bodies.
Lytle told Animal that American Apparel has tried to reach out to diverse audiences by coming out with t-shirts that say 'legalize gay' and 'legalize LA' but have very little to comment on women's equality.
'To see them taking a strong stance on those issues but not on women's equality is disappointing,' said Lytle who runs the feminist clothing line with her partner Robyn.
'This is a company that is clearly trying to distance themselves from their founder,' she continued.
Nip no nip: The model on the left in see through white lingerie once had her nipples and pubic hair in full display more like the model in the back lingerie on the right
'It's kind of laughable for them to think that removing nipples from their images of their sheer lingerie is the best way to do this considering their questionable ad choices in recent years. This is a step in the wrong direction and is contributing to the sexualisation of a woman's body at a time where there is a large and growing movement for equality.'
The clothing company has a tab on their website dedicated to political activism and they offer a stance on gay rights and immigration reform.
'As a company, we have certain resources that individual activists do not. We try to use that special ability to support political causes that need help. American Apparel regularly uses its billboards, advertisements, press contacts and even printed t-shirts to speak out about important issues. Our two biggest issues have been Immigration Reform and Gay Rights,' says their website.
The company's female CEO has yet to comment on women's sexuality and empowerment and the company's choice to airbrush out nipples and pubic hair.
It may be that the company needs to focus their opinion on the difference between what sexusualises women and what censors them if there is a difference at all.
Will American Apparel decide to free the nipple along with their old image?
In January, Justin Bieber appeared in a Calvin Klein underwear ad. It was the latest in a long line of underwear ads that sexualizeand objectify men.
The ad that started it all in 1991 featured Mark Wahlberg — then known as Marky Mark — in his underwear with a similarly-attired female model.
Calvin Klein almost single-handedly transformed men's underwear from a basic into a fashion item through the use of high-end photography, celebrity models and blatant sexuality.
Soon, almost all underwear brands were running the same kind of sexy ads.
In this 2010 Armani ad, soccer great Cristiano Ronaldo wanders around his hotel room in his underwear, clearly looking for something. A female housekeeper pretends to be oblivious, but when she finds the T-shirt he's looking for, she secretly keeps it as a souvenir.
Now jump ahead to 2015 and we discover Bieber in his underwear.
Unfortunately, Justin's dream was tarnished somewhat by persistent rumours that his anatomy required digital enhancement for the ads.
When Ad Age reported that some of Jon Hamm's Mad Men footage required Photoshopping for the opposite problem, both Jockey and Fruit of the Loom courted him as a model, so far unsuccessfully.
But it turns out that sexily posed, impossibly beautiful men with bulging underwear are starting to make male consumers uncomfortable. So now some underwear ads are moving in a new direction
According to sex experts, creativity is one of the ingredients that keeps things spicy hot in the bedroom.
You may know all the dirty tricks and stuff, but how do you pique your man's interest in sex? One of the subtle ways to do this is by wearing sexy lingeries that will pass the message across to him, nice and clear.
Check out these hot underwear you should be rocking if you want to turn your man on:
The sophisticated look: Does your man go crazy when he sees you dressed up in an elegant, swanky number? Lingerie doesn't always have to be super-revealing (it's all coming off eventually anyway!). Translate his preference for classy eveningwear into the bedroom by wrapping yourself up in a peignoir – a long, silky gown – plus a matching robe. Top it off with some lacy stilettos, and strut your stuff over to the bed like the class act you are.
The girly look: If you've got a playful, bubbly personality, and your partner loves nothing more than to bring out that side of you, then he would probably love to see you in some flirty, girly lingerie. Try on a lace baby doll – which actually does wonders for your body; it's just so flowy and forgiving. And if you wear a super-short baby doll, you can show off those sexy legs of yours – perhaps in a cute pair of peep-toe pumps!
The role-playing look: If you've ever role-played together – and loved every minute of it – then odds are your man would like to see you dressed up in some novelty lingerie. And please, not the kitschy kind. Instead, go for one of the tried-and-true male fantasies, like a DIY schoolgirl look (it's a winner every time). The schoolgirl look is easily accomplished by donning a way-short plaid skirt (this one isn't making it past the principal's office!), a tight white button-down tied off to show your midriff, white cotton knee-highs and a pair of Mary Jane-style heels. You'll enjoy detention more than you ever thought possible.
The sporty look: Does your man like seeing you in his button-down work shirt? Then he may be turned on by the sporty look. Try this on: A pair of cotton or lace boy shorts (bonus points for a kitschy phrase on the back – or his name!) and a white men's tank-top undershirt. Add knee-high athletic socks – you know, the ones with the stripes on top – and a pair of sneakers. Top it off with some pigtails and you're bound to hit a home run tonight.
The vampy look: If your spouse likes things super-hot in the bedroom, indulge his erotic side by dressing up like the sexpot you are! Your best bet: Pull on a formfitting teddy or a corset-and-G-string combo (lacy or satin, it's up to you), and kick up the seduction factor with – you guessed it – some thigh-high stockings and a pair of garters that he won't be able to resist. Don't skimp on the shoes; this look requires a 4-inch heel at least. Trust us, you won't be walking in them much.
Her blonde locks were styled into beachy waves and her natural beauty was left to shine through as she simply wore black mascara and a light sprinkling of bronzer.
Erin is backing Lascana's competition to find a 'cool man' to star in the next Lascana commercial, with the prize also including a Yamaha XV950R motorbike.
The public can vote for their favourites to make the Top 100 before the contestants are narrowed down to 10 finalists who will have to impress the all-female jury at Lascana's 'Girls' Night Out Party' in Hamburg in June.
Erin – who has posed for the likes of Diane von Furstenberg – first jumped into modelling at the age of 17, and insists she's learned to find self-confidence outside of her breath-taking appearance.
'I'm not perfect. I never identified with the way I look; I was just born this way. I don't feel rejection if I'm not the right person for a job, because that's not where I find my self-worth. I'm a beautiful person, and that's not because of my modelling career,' Erin told Ocean Drive.
In a recent interview with People, the model revealed how she maintains her amazing figure.
The blonde beauty admitted: 'My body is very athletic, so the exercises that really help my body are things that are lengthening.
'I've been doing Ballet Beautiful since 2013, and I'm still in the falling-in-love stage. It re-taught me how to stand, and a different way to hold my weight, so it helps me move as a model as well.'
She added that she also does yoga, Pilates and cardio on the treadmill, but also makes sure to take time off to rest.
Erin advised: 'Your ligaments can only heal through rest, and you have to rest if you want to see the results of all your hard work'.
She continued: 'I always eat healthy because you don't want to dig yourself in a hole. The best diet is to focus on what you should be eating, and knowing how the foods you're eating are helping you be healthier and look more beautiful.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
'What an excellent day for an exorcism'
To commemorate its 40th anniversary, William Peter Blatty's classic novel The Exorcist is being reissued (Harper, 379 pages, $17). If it's been a while since you read the book, it's time to give it another look; if you've never read it, now's your chance. This story about a 12-year-old girl possessed by a demon is shocking in a visceral, almost primal way.
Blatty, who was born in New York City, was an established, if undistinguished, novelist before The Exorcist made him a superstar in 1971. And it's easy to see why the book was such a smash: even today its raw language makes the reader shudder (most of it coming, remember, out of the mouth of an innocent), and its visual imagery is as frightening as it ever was.
-- -- --
After that, you'll need something a little lighter. So here's Go, Mutants! (Harper, 385 pages, $16), by Baltimore's Larry Doyle. It's a bittersweet coming-of-age story with a difference: its hero, J!m, is an extraterrestrial. And not just any ET: he's the son of the alien overlord who, not too long ago, tried to invade the planet Earth.
But that all got sorted out, and now J!m's just your (mostly) normal teen, dealing with the usual issues: adolescence, love, bullying and an unanticipated incident involving his own (temporary) death. Set 40-odd years ago in an alternate version of suburban America, the novel features snappy prose, some wild and crazy characters -- J!m's friends include a sentient blob and an intelligent ape -- and so much fun that you'll be surprise Doyle could pack that much entertainment into one book.
-- -- --
In The Reversal (Vision, 440 pages, $11), from Florida's Michael Connelly, defence attorney Mickey Haller, also known as the Lincoln lawyer, is offered a job too good to pass up: a temporary assignment as prosecutor in a case involving a child murderer whose conviction was reversed. Now the state has a very short time in which to retry the man, or he'll walk.
Mickey's swimming in unfamiliar waters -- everything is different when you're sitting at the prosecution table -- but, as a longtime defence lawyer, he's used to being thrown in at the deep end.
Luckily, he's also used to his cases getting ever more complicated before they come to a conclusion. Connelly is the author of a string of best-selling crime novels (detective Harry Bosch, in a supporting role here, appears elsewhere as the hero of his own series), and Mickey Haller is among his most compelling and morally conflicted creations.
This is the third Haller novel, and, in many ways, the best so far (although the fourth, The Fifth Witness, published earlier this year in hardcover, gives it a run for its money).
-- -- --
Dead Zero (Pocket, 518 pages, $13) is another gripping, beautifully crafted Bob Lee Swagger novel from Maryland's Stephen Hunter. Gunnery Sgt. Ray Cruz's mission to take down an Afghan warlord goes horribly wrong, and it appears that he's killed in action -- until later he turns up alive, promising to complete his mission. Which is very bad news for certain elements of the American government, who now consider the warlord to be a valuable asset.
The government hires Swagger, the retired marine sniper, to track down Cruz and neutralize him -- without loss of life, if possible. On the other hand, a shadowy special-ops team has a similar assignment, but for vastly different reasons, and they're not too concerned whether the target remains alive at the end of the mission.
The stage is set for a showdown that's guaranteed to thrill Hunter's legion of readers.
Halifax freelance writer David Pitt's column appears the first weekend of the month.

Implementing Common Calculations In Power Query
When I first saw Data Explorer (as Power Query used to be called), I immediately started thinking of it as a self-service ETL tool; indeed, it's how Microsoft itself is positioning it. However I suspect that a lot of Power Query users might also want to use it for building reports too: it could be that they find DAX too difficult, and if all they need is a simple table-based report they might not want to bother with using Power Pivot at all.
If that happens then it's going to be important to be able implement common business calculations in Power Query… hence this blog post. I'll also admit that I wanted to know how easy it is to write these calculations – because if it isn't easy, or if it isn't easier than DAX or the equivalent Excel formulas, then no-one will bother doing it. So let's look at some examples.
Simple Percentage Share
Take the following table in Excel as a starting point:
Now let's imagine that we want to find the percentage that each fruit makes up of the grand total (ie 10+15+24=49). The way to calculate the percentage is quite easy: you need to find the grand total, then divide the sales for each fruit by the grand total. Finding the grand total requires some code though – you might think you could do it easily in the UI using the Group By functionality, but that does not allow you to sum up all the values in a column and not group by anything! (I hope this gets fixed soon). Luckily the code is quite easy: you use Table.Column() to convert the Sales column into a List, then use List.Sum() to sum up all the values in that List. Finally, you insert a new custom column to the original table and calculate the percentage. Here's the code:
Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Table1"]}[Content],
Sales = Table.Column(Source, "Sales"),
GrandTotal = List.Sum(Sales),
TableWithShare = Table.AddColumn(Source, "Share", each [Sales]/GrandTotal)
It would also be nice if I could get the table that Power Query outputs to remember the number formatting I apply to it after it refreshes… again, I hope this gets fixed.
Nested Share
A more complex example of a Share calculation might be where we need a share of a subtotal. Consider the following table:
In this case, let's say we need to show each Fruit's sales as a percentage of the total sales of its Category. This time we can use the Group By functionality to get a table containing the subtotals very easily. Next, we can join our subtotal table with the original table using Table.Join() so we have the subtotals on each row. Finally, we can do the share calculation and remove the subtotal column again. Here's the code:
Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Table4"]}[Content],
Subtotals = Table.Group(Source, {"Category"}, {{"Category Sales",
each List.Sum([Sales]), type number}}),
JoinTables = Table.Join(Source, "Category", Subtotals, "Category"),
InsertedCustom = Table.AddColumn(JoinTables, "Share", each [Sales]/[Category Sales]),
RemovedColumns = Table.RemoveColumns(InsertedCustom,{"Category Sales"})
Previous Period Growth
Now consider a table with a date column (Americans: the dates are in dd/mm/yyyy format) and a sales column:
Let's say we want to find the absolute change in Sales from the previous date to the current date on each row. Here we need to copy the table, shift the dates forward one day (by adding a value of type Duration onto the date) and then join the original table onto this new table using Table.Join() so we can see the current day sales and the previous day sales in two columns next to each other; this will then mean we can subtract one from the other to find the growth. Here's the code:
Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Table7"]}[Content],
ChangedType = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Date", type date}}),
InsertedCustom = Table.AddColumn(ChangedType, "Next Date", each [Date]+#duration(1,0,0,0)),
RemovedColumns = Table.RemoveColumns(InsertedCustom,{"Date"}),
RenamedColumns = Table.RenameColumns(RemovedColumns,{{"Sales", "Previous Sales"}}),
JoinTables = Table.Join(ChangedType, "Date", RenamedColumns, "Next Date",JoinKind.LeftOuter),
RemovedColumns1 = Table.RemoveColumns(JoinTables,{"Next Date"}),
SortedRows = Table.Sort(RemovedColumns1,{{"Date", Order.Ascending}}),
Growth = Table.AddColumn(SortedRows, "Growth", each [Sales]-[Previous Sales])
Year-to-Date Sales
For the final example, take the same starting table and before and now let's calculate a year-to-date running sum. In this case, I decided to use a function (see here for some background on this, and here for a more complex example of a function) to do the calculation. Here's the code of the function, called YTD(), that I created:
YTD = (SalesTable, EndDate) =>
each [Date]<=EndDate and Date.Year([Date])=Date.Year(EndDate) ),
SalesColumn = Table.Column(FilteredTable, "Sales"),
YTDSales = List.Sum(SalesColumn)
It takes a table structured in the same way as the source table (ie it has to have a [Date] column and a [Sales] column), filters the data using Table.SelectRows() so only rows with a date less than or equal to the EndDate parameter, but in the same year as it, are returned, and then sums up the values in the [Sales] column of the filtered table.
It's then very easy to use this function in a new calculated column in a query:
Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Table7"]}[Content],
ChangedType = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Date", type date}}),
InsertedCustom = Table.AddColumn(ChangedType, "YTD Sales", each YTD(ChangedType, [Date]))
And voila, we have a column containing the year-to-date sum:
All of these examples here required me to write M code, and to be honest this is not something an ordinary user will ever be able to do. Furthermore, I suspect that end users will always prefer to write their calculations as Excel formulas, although more complex calculations such as nested shares might prove beyond them. However, I believe that a good data steward will certainly be able to write M code, and the last example above makes me think that if a data steward can write a function that performs a calculation and shares it with the end users, the end users should be able to use it in their own queries quite easily. I don't think the code I've written here is any worse or better than the DAX equivalent but the ability to share functions could tip the balance in favour of Power Query for some simple reporting scenarios.
You can download a workbook with all the examples above here.

Thanks for sharing, Chris. Your latest example made me start to wonder where the Query is stored, and if an Excel file can be identified programmatically as having a Query.
I too have been comparing powerquery (M) to powerpivot (DAX) as a tool for analysis. There is one area already that I believe powerquery has the advantage and that is when you need to generate a list of members based on the results of an initial query – obvious example is the common task of creating a histogram. Dynamically converting measures into members via dax is not easy. I have also been comparing sql with m as a language for analysts – definitely some plus points for powerquery here.
Here is one more way of doing Running Totals.
Assuming you have a 2 Column Table of Month (Jan,Feb…) and Sales (10,30…) and the Table is called S
The below M Code generates a Cumulative Sales Column called cSales
Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="S"]}[Content],
mTbl= Table.AddIndexColumn(Source,"Index"),
mTotal = Table.AddColumn(mTbl, "Total", each Table.Range(mTbl,0,[Index]+1)),
cTotal = Table.AggregateTableColumn(mTotal, "Total", {{"Sales", List.Sum, "cSales"}}),
rColumn = Table.RemoveColumns(cTotal,{"Index"})
I have no Idea how the performance compares with your method…but I was able to build this via the UI – so for someone not very proficient with M yet this looks easier.
[…] 157 6 157 77 157 45 157 29 95 35 95 40 95 2 95 18 95 35 104 34 I believe the answer is here but I just can't make it work. I'm not an IT guy and I'm new to M language. Thank […]
Hi Chris and team,
I've got an fairly complex variation of your example above, but i'm running into some roadblocks and hoping you could provide some guidance.
Basically, I'm generating a dynamic list of employee hours – these are categorized by hours per day for multiple employees. My goal is to automatically "code" the hours as overtime or regular time, based on the US regulations for those hours (for instance, 40 hours per week would be considered regular time, anything over that are considered overtime).
The difficulty I'm running into is creating a "running" tally of the hours by employee by the Date.WeekOfYear.
It's laid out sort of like these three columns:
John Doe – 3/13/15 – 9 hours
Bob Employee – 3/14/15 – 12 hours
John Doe – 3/14/15 – 12 hours
Bob Employee – 3/16/15 – 12 hours
I'm trying to dynamically calculate a fourth column which would show the running total for the week:
John Doe – 3/13/15 – 9 hours – 9 hours
Bob Employee – 3/14/15 – 12 hours – 12 hours
John Doe – 3/14/15 – 12 hours – 21 hours
Bob Employee – 3/16/15 – 12 hours – 24 hours
Then reset each week and start the calculation again. I've used a variation of your function above, and it outputs a running tally, but it's not a) separated by week and b) separated by individual employee.
Any recommendations?

September update: It was quite a year, but with the weather turning colder, the osprey have abandoned the nest, headed south and the trout in the Bow and Elbow rivers are once again able to swim in peace.
We will be turning off the camera soon, but please check back soon for a gallery of some milestones from 2014.
Thank you for tuning into the osprey cam this past season and sharing the fun with us. We hope that, just like the osprey, you too will return next spring.
Aside from the nest at the Calgary Zoo, many of the other platforms around Calgary hosted nesting pairs of osprey and their offspring during the 2014. And we even added a new platform in Fish Creek Park south of Canyon Meadows Drive on the west side of Macleod trail.
While these platforms make it easier to watch these incredible birds, they also help ensure the osprey's safety by giving them an alternative to building on power poles.
We do this because osprey often build their nests on top of power poles, and this behavior poses a danger to the birds and the electrical system.
In some areas where ospreys return to nest year after year, we erect osprey platforms nearby to encourage nesting on the platform instead of electrical equipment. Our efforts are guided by our on-staff, avian biologist who assists our field staff with safeguarding nesting birds.
Take a break from the computer and see osprey nesting firsthand. Check out the map below for the location of osprey platforms around Calgary.
Green icons on the map show platforms that are home to osprey. If you see a red icon, it means we haven't observed any osprey at that platform yet.
Please be aware that not all platforms are easily or safely accessible. Please check the map to determine which platforms are best for viewing and exercise caution when attending the platforms, you do so at your own risk.
Now that we have chicks in the nest here are some of the highlights we can look forward to for the remainder of this season. Keep in mind that osprey have their own timetable, but the dates below should give you an idea of what to watch for.
Mid- late April — Ospreys return the nest site (April 20)
End of April –Early May —Mating and nest building (This is private)
Early May—Egg laying (2-4 eggs) (April 30)
May—Incubation of eggs (Complete)
June—Eggs hatch! (June 10-11)
July—Feeding and growing (ongoing)
August—Learning to fly
September—Osprey leave for warmer climate!

Paint/stain vanity?
Hello. I have a pretty nice master bath with a vanity that the original owner paid a lot if money for. It is all high end with soft closing doors, but... I absolutely dislike the light wood color of it. Everything else in the house is walnut including the floors and vanities in other bathrooms. Is there a way for me to paint or stain the vanity without making it look cheap? I would either want it to be dark wood/walnut color or I might also consider painting it light grey or white to get to that spa look... In any case, is that doable? I do not want to replace it given that it is a pretty expensive piece and I am not willing to pay anywhere near its price to replace it.
BTW, if you guys have any pictures of painted cabinets, please post them - I need some help with finalizing colors if this whole thing is doable.
Thank you in advance.
IF you decide to paint them, it is most likely that all you will have to do is sand them lightly first, then prime and paint. Easy. peasy.
IF you decide to stain them, it is most likely that you will have to remove all the finish and take them down to bare wood to apply the stain. Messy and stinky.
If you use gel stain from General Finishes, maybe Antique Walnut, it is more than likely that sanding is not required. Gel stain is more like a paint and thus will cover some of the grfain; however, it can be used without primer. Google for more information.

Garry Rayno's State House Dome: Rainy day blues
The surplus would bring the total for the fund - otherwise known as a "revenue stabilization fund,'' used to offset state revenue losses - to about $25 million.
A national report released last week by The Pew Charitable Trusts debunks the 5 percent rule. Whatever type of rainy day fund states have, the report said, all 50 were inadequate for the economic freefall that began in 2008. The revenue shortfall for all states was more than double what they held in reserve.
In robust economic times, capital gain revenues will be far higher than during depressed periods. That increases the money going into the stabilization accounts when state revenues are strong and decreases the deposits when the economy is weak.
"In many instances, caps on the size of rainy day funds have prevented states from saving enough to substantially offset revenue losses," the report says. "Although most states recognize the importance of having a fund to smooth the booms and busts of the revenue cycle, few base the size of their rainy day fund on their own typical revenue fluctuations."
New Hampshire's Rainy Day Fund is not capped.
Where does New Hampshire sit with the other 50 states? New Hampshire's revenue stream has very low volatility, at 4 percent, which ranks it 43 in volatility.
The lowest fluctuation is found in South Dakota, at 2.6 percent.
Medicaid expansion or the NH Health Protection Program has been controversial and the controversy continued last week when the Executive Council on a party-line 3-2 vote approved a $292.5 million contract with the two managed care companies - NH Healthy Families and Well Sense - that administer the state's Medicaid managed care program.
The new agreement, which Health and Human Services Commission Nicholas Toumpas called cornerstone that allows the program to move forward, was a late item on the Executive Council's agenda, which means it was not on the published agenda prior to the meeting.
Although Toumpas emailed the changes to the current contract to councilors over the weekend after the state received federal approval for the rates last Friday, they did not receive the actual paper contract until two hours before the meeting.
"Our primary purpose in this state is to be a check and balance, and we rubber stamped this contract without reading it," Sununu said after the meeting. "I don't understand why (all the councilors were not) saying give us a couple of days."
Two Republicans running for the council took Democrats to task for not reading the 200-page contract before voting on it, including Jim Adams, who is running for Pappas's seat.
"This is a perfect example of why our Granite Staters are losing faith in their elected officials," said Wheeler. "NH and the Executive Council has always taken pride in conducting the people's business in public, out in the open. Yet there has been a disturbing trend in the executive branch in Concord to keep the public in the dark regarding spending in excess of authorized appropriations."
"Today's vote means thousands of New Hampshire residents will have access to health care coverage and the economic security that comes with it," Pappas said. "These few amendments to the much larger Medicaid Managed Care contracts were anticipated and vetted and are essential in implementing the bipartisan health care expansion compromise. I read these amendments and participated in a question-and-answer session with Health and Human Services, and I know delaying (the) vote would have needlessly compromised health care coverage for thousands of individuals in our state."
The election season is in high gear.
The State Employees Association came out of the shout a little earlier than usual by endorsing a candidate in the Democratic primary for state Senate District 15 consisting of Concord, Hopkinton, Henniker and Warner, all communities with large populations of state workers.
When longtime Sen. Sylvia Larsen announced her retirement this year, she said Ardinger was a capable replacement, but other Democrats had other ideas.
The exodus of legislative staffers continues.
Tom Cronin, who served as Senate communications director, begins a new job Monday as public affairs manager for the University of New Hampshire.
Cronin said he will help coordinate UNH's government relations and advocacy efforts to increase the awareness and reputation of the university among state and federal elected officials and New Hampshire residents.
On Cronin's last day on the job, he provided a little bipartisan help to a woman whose van got stuck in the Eagle Square Parking Garage.
Cronin and Senate Democratic Policy Director Matt Robison worked to free the van from the garage's clutches, and the woman was soon on her way.
Under the State House Dome will not appear July 27 or Aug. 3 because I am will be on vacation for the next two weeks. The Dome will resume on Aug. 10.

So full of Emotion
This is my favorite song of yours for some very good reasons.
1) The voice and the piano compliment as if the piano could be someone's voice, although in a lower tone. It's a companion.
2) It's full of emotion. It's as if someone is just inventing this song off the top of their head and they're singing it from their heart. As if they want to rip it from their chest for some obscure reason.
3) There are many various stories that could surround this song. It's very versatile. This song can be interpreted in many ways and can relate to a large audience, and I think that it is very important to have that quality in a song.
I <3 all your songs by the way, not just this one. <3

Recently I blogged about a new project that I am starting called $2 portraits. The idea is that I will offer $2 to anyone who asks me for money from now on in exchange for their portrait.
I ran into Tommy outside the Superdawg restaurant at Milwaukee and Nagle in Chicago. Tommy asked me if I could help him out and so I told him about my $2 portrait project and he agreed to pose.
Tommy was born and raised in Chicago. He went down to Florida for school but ended up back here. He was put into jail and they told him that he could either stay in the joint or sign up with the military. So he signed up with the Air Force and went to Cambodia. He said that when he joined the military that they gave him a new social security number.
I told him I was in San Francisco and he said he'd visited and liked it. He said though that for the most part the food in California sucks. Of course Chicago has some of the best food in the world so it's easy to see Chicago as a hard culinary act to follow.
Tommy said Chicago's been tough on him. He said it's a great place to be from, but not as good a place to live. He was married for about 10 years but never had any kids.
Tommy said he mostly does odd jobs to get by. He said it's been hard though because the economy's been so bad lately. Then he laughed and said that even in a bad economy three things always sell, food, booze and dope.
delhidreams, The Rusty Projector, and 93 other people added this photo to their favorites.
feeling almost ridiculous adding that this is a fantastic idea and shot...looking forward to seeing more
This is exceptional Tom!
Neat shot and really neat idea for the project. Thanks for sharing it!
fantastic... this is one of my favorite portrait shots of all time. Thanks for sharing the story, too
Excellent! Nice subject and great camera. Thanks for sharing.
such a great portrait

Bluestar assistance-floor model
I am mostly a lurker on this forum and try to keep up on all the opinions on various ranges. We are looking for a 36" range and have come across a 36" bluestar heritage with raised griddle that the store is trying to sell for around 4,700.00. The store stopped selling bluestar, as they did not meet the demand they expected, and thus this lone model keeps getting marked down, as it is not a model that most gravitate to. I saw the paperwork and, although it is new and never used, it was delivered to their store in Dec 2007. My main concern is that I have read on this forum that bluestar experienced some problems back then, mainly with hot doors, and so I am concerned that, although, Bluestar has since stepped up and fixed various issues, this particular range is still susceptible to old bluestar standards/issues. Also concerned that it has been sitting in a store for 4.5 years. Should I be? Any advice for me? At this point in our search, we are debating between this model and 36" wolf with griddle.
Thank you in advance.
The first problem is that this model has the old style oven door hinges which are prone to locking up.
The second issue is you basically have a 24" cooktop next to a 12" salamander. You can't use two wide pans next to each other as you would in a standard 36" range nor even as much room as a 30" range.
A brand spanking new 36" RNB VI is ~$5300? Versus ~$5600 for the AG Wolf? I think I would get a new RNB VI.

Uncover Why Premiums Raise Even In the event you Are Healthful by Charles Myrick of American Consultants Rx-Free Health care Support Suggestions Question: I'm Nutritious. So Why Does My Wellbeing Insurance Prices Increase Each year? Toward the end of every single appointments calendar year, we start to hear from our employers' human resources departments, or from the insurers and payers who oversee our wellness protection about how significantly we'll need to shell out for protection the subsequent yr. Each year all those payments boost, often by double-digit percentages. Why is healthiness insurance policy so pricey? And why do I've to pay out additional each and every calendar year, even when I'm nutritious? Answer: Health insurance plan payments go up since healthcare expenses boost. Physicians need to be paid for additional, drugs are much more expensive, testing engineering receives a lot more sophisticated and costly, and so forth. If we fully grasp how wellbeing insurers determine their annual prices, then it's less complicated to understand why it will get a lot more high priced, even when we're balanced. How wellbeing insurance policy prices are identified: Every year, the insurer will develop profiles of its sufferers, then figures out how very much that profiled individual will fee. One example is, a single profile could possibly be for male kids, grow older 2 to 6. The insurance organisation will determine an normal amount of physician visits each kid will be needing, how numerous shots he will be needing, how several occasions he'll fall and will need stitches, and so forth. An additional profile may be for just a woman age group 45 to 55. This girl will require a checkup, a mammogram, maybe a colonoscopy or a bone scan. She'll need to have a blood test for diabetes or cholesterol. If she's relatively nutritious, she may possibly however should acquire a single or far more medicines, perhaps a statin to avoid center troubles. The insurance provider will also expect a specified quantity of surgeries, clinical tests, accidents, along with other doable clinical requires for each of its profiled affected individuals. Employing those profiles, multiplied through the variety of individuals they expect to have to insure for each, the insurer can estimate what its fees will be. Further amounts for expenses and profit will probably be added towards the total. Then they'll do the math to get an normal fee per affected person or family. That will be your yearly high quality. Just about every participating individual or loved ones will fork out the exact same high quality quantity, regardless in the healthiness from the man or women or loved ones. In case you are employed, then you certainly and your employer may share your premium cost. If you don't have an employer to enable you to fork out your rates, the overall expense will probably be yours. That's assuming, needless to say, that you do not have a pre-existing condition that could possibly eliminate the possibility of becoming covered with insurance. Should you are nutritious, then your premium price will probably be far additional than it would in fact cost you to have proper care above the training of the year. You might fork out many cash, and need only a person check out for the medical doctor or a single doctor prescribed. You invest the cash about the premiums due to the fact you don't would like to danger footing the bill to get a important incident or illness. When you are a lesser amount of wholesome as well as a bit more mature, meaning far more screenings are advised every year, then you definitely might arrive out about even. Your many thousand cash in prices could possibly be close on the real fee in case you paid for out of pocket for those people tests and medical doctor visits. Nevertheless, you spend the money on the payments since you don't wish to chance important expense should you be identified which includes a difficult disease or be hurt inside a fall or other accident. When you are sicker, in particular in case you are more mature and sicker, then your insurance premiums will be a real bargain. For people which includes a long-term ailment like diabetes or center troubles, or for an individual identified with cancer or any incapacitating illness, your genuine price of treatment, when you paid for from your personal pocket, may very well be a huge selection of a huge number of bucks. When you are around age group 65 and acquire Medicare, your attention protection will be considered a authentic windfall. You may get the treatment you will need dependant on the actuality that you're past retirement grow older. For a good number of, you will have paid out into that account throughout your working career. But if you've a continual sickness or are identified with any debilitating condition, your return on that lifelong investment is going to be enormous. At this moment let's look with the bigger picture -- the populace with the overall nation. Our population is getting older, and as the complete team ages, then the whole team demands far more healthiness treatment. More mature people have formulated persistent diseases over a lifetime. They are additional prone to lifestyle threatening conditions like cancers or Alzheimer's sickness than younger persons are. Brand new infants are becoming born, needless to say. But we are also dealing with bigger incidences of youngsters with autism as well as other difficulties which contribute for the cost of care throughout the population. A lot more and a lot more individuals cannot pay for the expense of insurance. Specifically in complicated economic times, fewer individuals acquiring insurance policy will mean greater expense for individuals who do purchase coverage. What precisely can we do to reduced the cost of insurance coverage payments? Primary, know that cutting down the cost of insurance policy seriously isn't the very same as reducing the cost of well being treatment in general for us as individuals or families. The price of wellbeing proper care is spread across the whole human population as defined above. Second, if you are in the "sicker" classification detailed above, or inside the in excess of age 65 team, then you certainly almost certainly cannot get healthiness coverage a reduced amount of expensively than what a person shell out now. All those who're reasonably healthful, or who have access to much more than one approach via their managers can have some control in excess of personal expenditures of insurance coverage, such as the price paid for premiums, deductibles and co-pays, as follows: * On a yearly basis in the course of the well being insurance coverage enrollment period for your subsequent twelve months, or on the time you alter jobs or for any other purpose modify insurance coverage insurance coverage, bring some time to complete the true data to choose the ideal approach for you. Based on your requires, the prices may well not even be essentially the most high priced portion of your health care. * Take into account high-deductible, catastrophic attention insurance policy. These programs have a lot cheaper premiums and function nicely for individuals who're mainly balanced. If you decide on a person of these programs, you'll be able to also opt for to make use of a Wellbeing Savings Account which is a way to create your wellbeing expenses tax- deductible and assists you save the money you could have to have later for wellness expenses. It also assists you limit the amount that gets sent towards insurance provider from the type of monthly premiums. * Determine regardless of whether you might be eligible for just a state-run health-related subsidy program like Medicaid or others. Every point out has unique programs.

It's been 4 years since we last came back to France. We took Singapore Airlines A380 flight from Singapore to Paris and chose the upper deck. The last time when we took A380 was with Emirates Airlines from Paris to Dubai on transit to Maldives and we thought this we will try the upper deck if it's any different. Well, it isn't.

PS Elements upgrade or new Lightroom?

Posted November 29, 2012 at 9:48AM
I have elements 8 and am thinking of upgrading to 12. I have looked at the review of Lightroom and wonder whether to go for this instead. I only use Elements for editing not organising, which is the best option? Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Posted November 30, 2012 at 12:02PM
Do you shoot in Raw? if not forget Lightroom, although it's an excellent organizer the real benefits are for people using the Raw format. Ideally you would use both Elements & Lightroom, but as I said only if you shoot in the Raw format

Thanks for the advice, I don't use RAW at the moment so I have decided to order the Elements upgrade, thanks.
