Accenture: More shoppers plan to buy in-store
Shoppers may be referring to smartphones and tablets as they shop, but according to new data out from Accenture, there is a core group of shoppers who will make more actual purchases online.
The Accenture Seamless Retail Survey finds about one-fifth (21%) of shoppers plan to make more in-store purchases this year. However that doesn't mean retailers have no room for improvement. Forty (40%) percent of respondents said retailers need to improve their in-store customer experience while only 16% said the same about the online experience.
"The survey results indicate that retailers have an opportunity to increase in-store sales but only if they make the experience worthwhile for consumers," said Chris Donnelly, global managing director of Accenture's Retail practice. "Consumers are looking for the conveniences of shopping online, such as information on product availability, to be available in-store. The lines between the different shopping channels are blurring, but the good news for traditional retailers is that the store continues to play an important role. In order to ensure that they offer shoppers a seamless retail experience, bricks and mortar/high street retailers must work hard to differentiate the shopping experience they offer compared to the online pure-plays."
The full report can be downloaded here.
Other interesting findings from the report include:
• 19% of shoppers are now using 'click and collect' to reserve/buy online and pick-up in-store
• 31% say being able to check in-store availability would help customer experience
• 78% have webroomed - browsing online, buying in-store, 72% have showroomed - browsing in-store, buying online
• 57% say free shipping is the most important delivery option
• 44% say free shipping orders should arrive within 5 days

As of Thursday, the idea of Jon Lester remaining with the Red Sox in 2015 seemed more unlikely than ever. In fact, the merits of dealing the Red Sox ace before the end of this season grows by the day.
In short: The Red Sox want Lester to blink, but with an emerging Cy Young candidacy thus far this season, and just three months until the rest of Major League Baseball can negotiate on the same playing field as the Sox, such flinching doesn't seem likely.
But before getting into that, let's set the scene.
We're sitting here less than one week before the non-waiver trade deadline and the Red Sox' playoff hopes are sunk. They have nine players who will be eligible to become free agents at the end of this season -- Jonny Gomes, Burke Badenhop, Andrew Miller, potentially Craig Breslow (if his option isn't exercised), Stephen Drew, Jake Peavy, David Ross, Koji Uehara and ... Lester.
While it is somewhat notable that the Red Sox haven't engaged in contract talks with Uehara, that really isn't the story these days. It's all about Lester. That was the case in January, February, March, April, May, June and now July.
Lester remains unsigned, and in terms of performance this year he sits atop the list of pitchers primed for free agency. He has handled himself on and off the field in textbook fashion. The momentum toward the lefty signing a mammoth deal has only gained steam as the season has progressed, with voices like John Lackey pushing it along.
"He's an example you want to be around the young guys. He's how you do it. He's a pro," Lackey said of his rotation-mate prior to Tuesday's game. "You could take him and write a book about how to be a starting pitcher in the big leagues. He works his butt off. He handles his business. He never gets into any trouble. He's not a guy you have to worry about. He doesn't do anything dumb. He gets it.
"I've been fortunate to be around a lot of good guys who do things the right way, but performance-wise and ability-wise he's better than those guys and does it the right way. He's pretty good."
And about that conversation regarding Lester being worth that much-talked-about five-year deal?
"Jon's a different deal, man. He works his butt off," Lackey said. "He'll be just fine in five years."
Much has been made of the Red Sox' initial offer of four years, $70 million, as has the team's perceived misstep of not taking advantage of what looked like a healthy window to put a better foot forward in spring training. All the comps have been explored, from Adam Wainwright to Homer Bailey to Cole Hamels to Zack Greinke.
And now, with the Red Sox clearly sellers and free agency three months away, an important checkpoint has arrived.
After talking with multiple sources familiar with the situation, the following is where things seem to stand.
-- Between the email sent to the Boston Herald by principal owner John Henry as well as Sox president/CEO Larry Lucchino's comments made on the Dennis & Callahan show Thursday, it is clear the team wants to get out the message that it tried to talk deal but Lester and his agents prefer not to engage at all until season's end.
"[Ben Cherington] may still have some continuing discussion with [agent] Seth [Levinson] on other issues or other matters, but certainly the negotiation, the parties have agreed to let's step away and do this after the season," Lucchino said on D&C, adding: "Jon made very clear to us that that was his preference. ...
"It's done in part out of respect for Jon Lester and his desire to postpone this until after the season. He's on an extraordinary roll. His last five or six games, his ERA is I don't know, 0.90 or something like that. He's leading this team, leading the rotation, and his very strong preference, as I think you might have heard from him just a day or two ago on national television was not to have his family and himself distracted and focused on something other than pitching and winning baseball games. ...
"I'm not going to answer a question about the analysis of the stages of this negotiation, because the negotiation will continue. It will continue after the season, to be sure, but there will be an opportunity for us to resume negotiations with Jon and with his agent -- they have made that abundantly clear to us. So, looking back and doing an analysis of, 'Was this a wrong step or was this the right step,' would only be counterproductive."
-- According to industry sources, however, Lester and Levinson remain open to engaging in "efficient" contract talks if there is a sign the Red Sox are ready to extend an offer in line with market value. As of a few weeks ago, it was believed the vicinity of five years, $110 million-$120 million would be a conversation-starter. The pitcher has stood by his desire to not have the contract talks serve as a distraction to him or his team, hence the willingness to re-engage only if it appeared as though a quick resolution could be discovered.
"Not in my mind. I know that's been [part] of some of the conversations we've had with them, just trying to reiterate, 'Look, this doesn't change anything.' I just don't want to it to be a distraction," Lester responded to reporters Thursday morning when asked if the comments by Henry and Lucchino would mean his chances of staying with the Red Sox might be fading. "People know how things get, especially around here. ... The last thing, especially with [the trade deadline] next week and us needing to play well and get out [of last place], it's just not something that needs to be talked about or in the forefront of the plans right now. We need to play better baseball and win, and that should be the focus right now."
-- Because there hasn't been an offer perceived by the Lester camp as market value, it would be a logical assumption that the Red Sox are taking a familiar approach: getting cost certainty of an entire season -- making sure, in particular, there are no physical setbacks -- and then coming back to the pitcher after the season with an increased offer, but one most likely not meeting other clubs' interest.
What the Red Sox would be banking on is Lester's very public desire to remain in Boston. It was leverage they believed they had all along with David Ortiz. And going back a bit, it was what worked in the case of Mike Lowell (who took three years with the Sox instead of four with Philadelphia).
-- Now, with the Red Sox having dug their grave in Toronto, the conversation has to expand in regard to a potential trade of Lester. Here is what the lefty said when talking about such a scenario when appearing on The Bradfo Show podcast:
"I think every year when you get to the trade deadline, that's always a possibility," Lester said. "How great a possibility it is, I don't know because you're not in that room, you're not making the phone calls. I think this year, given the unique situation we could be in at that time, I don't know. I always said, if they feel like trading me is going to make the Boston Red Sox better for the future, then no hard feelings. Like I said, it's business.
"I want to be here, I think they want me to be here. But like I said, at the same time, I'm sure they wanted [Adrian Gonzalez] and [Carl Crawford] and [Josh Beckett] and [Nick Punto] to be here, but they needed to make a decision for the greater good for the future. That's what they had to do. If that's what they have to do, then that's what they have to do. There wouldn't be any hard feelings. I would still think of my time here as great, cherish every minute that I was here, go about my business wherever I go. ... This game isn't stable. As much as we'd like to make it stable, it's not."
Lester continued: "Like I said, if they get to that position and they feel it's necessary, then it is. I can't stop it. I can't do anything and I can't say anything. There's nothing you can do. If you get traded, you get traded and you try to make the best of it. ... If they did, I'd understand. It would probably be a pretty sad time, but at the same time exciting and all those things we talked about before.
"I've always tried to take that mindset going into the deadline, because if you sit there and worry about it and contemplate and get on the Internet and try to figure out where you think you're going and find out all those things, it's just unnecessary stress and thoughts you don't want."
While Lester has spent his entire eight-year career in Boston, he also noted that he has been mentioned in trade rumors before. He was going to head to the Rangers in the deal that swapped Manny Ramirez for Alex Rodriguez before the Players' Association nixed the blockbuster. During the 2007 offseason, Lester was one of the mentioned chips that would be dealt to the Twins in a potential trade for Minnesota ace Johan Santana. The move eventually fell through, as Santana was eventually sent to the Mets on Feb. 2, 2008.
"I think I've actually been traded twice and either one didn't go through and the other one at the last second got pulled back," Lester said. "It's something I've been a part of. I think that's why I have the mindset I have now. I've been traded and gone back to the team that traded me, so it is what it is.
"I get a call, 'Hey, you've been traded to the Rangers,' OK, great. That's cool. A day later, 'Hey, you're back with the Red Sox because the deal didn't go through.' Obviously a lot of mixed emotions. Spring training was a little weird. Then I think the Johan Santana thing, they were trying to get him. That got pulled off the table right at the last minute."
The guess is that the Red Sox listen on Lester, but with the value of a draft pick to fall back on -- and without the opportunity for an acquiring club to get a pick -- there would need to be some severe motivation on the buyer's behalf.
(The best example of a team trading for a player in a similar situation came during last year when the Cubs traded Matt Garza to Texas for four players, including top pitching prospect C.J. Edwards and reliever Neil Ramirez, who is having a standout season in Chicago's bullpen. And Lester is at least a few notches up from what Garza represented at the time.)
Judging by the Red Sox' approach thus far, the narrative suggesting their reluctance to go to five years or beyond with the 30-year-old Lester hits at the heart of the matter. If there was that comfort level to offer such a commitment, these late July days would probably be filled with the dotting of 'i's and crossing of 't's (as was the case when Hamels was locked up by the Phillies with a six-year, $144 million deal in late July 2012), instead of ownership proclaiming we will have to wait until after the season for news.
Unless there is a dramatic change of course, this could very well be the last season (and perhaps week) you will see Jon Lester wearing a Red Sox uniform.

Desktop clipboards are reasonably smart; you can copy both text and images to the Windows clipboard and paste to any app that supports it. The clipboard can retain not just the text you copy but also any and all formatting applied to said text. For example, if you copy the anchor text of a link and paste it inside Microsoft Word or Google Docs, the text will be pasted as linked text. Likewise, when you copy text that is bold, underlined, or highlighted, you can be sure the formatting will be retained on the other side. If this is inconvenient for you and you'd much rather prefer to strip the text of all formatting without having to jump through too many hoops i.e. paste in Notepad first, Plain Text Clipboard is a free Windows utility you should check out. It strips all text of formatting with a simple keyboard shortcut. Read More

How To Import Notes & Notebooks From Evernote To OneNote
The price tag on Evernote Plus and Premium plans has just gone up. Evernote is one of the most popular note taking apps available today and it's been around for quite a while now with a considerably large user base. Not only has the service just raised the price on its paid plans, it's also restricted the number of devices that can be shared on a single account on the free plan. If you're looking to jump ship to a different, more affordable service like OneNote your primary concern will be retaining all your current notes and making sure you don't have to organize them all over again. Fortunately, Microsoft has a simple tool that lets you do all this. The Evernote to OneNote import tool was released in March of this year and is still in Beta but it works like a charm. Read More
Fix Media Creation Tool Error 0x800704DD – 0x90016 When Upgrading To Windows 10
Microsoft's Media Creation tool for upgrading to Windows 10 has made it a very simple and straight forward process to upgrade your current PC to Windows 10 or perform a clean install of the latest Windows 10. For a long time, users had to jump through hoops to install a new Windows version if an installation disk wasn't available. Between the forced updates and this tool making the update so much easier, Windows 10 adaptation has grown rapidly. That said, the tool doesn't guarantee a successful upgrade and does throw errors. At times, the tool refuses to start until you force it to. Another error you might see is the Error code 0x800704DD - 0x90016 which is rather easy to resolve. Here's how. Read More
How To Troubleshoot And Fix The Windows 10 Start Menu
The Start Menu in Windows 10 is of the most problematic features of the OS. If it works well for you then you're lucky but there are hoards of users who have a dysfunctional Start Menu that fails to open, fails to launch apps, doesn't let you pin apps, gets stuck, and won't let you access the list of all installed apps, among other things. Those with a buggy Start Menu deal with a very essential feature on their desktop being useless. Users employ different hacks to fix the problem but no one hack has been able to track down and fix the problem for everyone and many fixes that work for some users often do not work for others. Microsoft knows there's a problem and has released a tool called Windows 10 Troubleshooting Tool that aims to troubleshoot and fix problems with the Start Menu. Read More
How To Stream Audio From Your PC Or Mac To Chromecast
Chromecast and Chromecast Audio are two different devices. The Chromecast is meant for video and audio streaming and aims to give users a 'smart' TV for the very cheap price of $30. The Chromecast Audio is meant to stream audio to speakers and give you 'smart' speakers without breaking the bank. Even though both devices are cheap, you might not want to buy them both and perhaps would like some way to use the Chromecast as just an audio streaming device. This is possible provided you aren't trying to hook the Chromecast up to a pair of speakers. What you can do, with the right third-party apps, is stream audio from your PC or Mac to the Chromecast. Here's how. Read More
Screenshot A Web Page And Add A macOS Window Frame To It [Chrome]
Screenshots make it easier to explain a process or show-off an online product's feature. A good screenshot can actually get users interested in trying a product out or make an otherwise long tutorial seem easier to follow. There are plenty of screenshot tools available for every desktop platform in existence and even mobile platforms are spoiled for choice but the ability and tool to take a screenshot isn't always enough especially when aesthetics matter. Standardized Screenshot is a Chrome extension that takes screenshots of web pages. It won't scroll a web page and capture all of it but it will resize the browser window to 1366px, frame the screenshot in a macOS Window frame, and add a nice drop shadow all in one click. Read More

Lightroom is a feature rich photo editing app that works great with other Adobe products and has a huge offering of Plugins to make it all the more useful. LR/Instagram is one such free Plug-in that might interest you if you're looking for an easy way to publish photos from Adobe Lightroom directly to Instagram. Read More
How To Enable A Download Save Prompt In Microsoft Edge On Windows 10
Windows 10 really wants to make Microsoft Edge everyone's default browser and it's trying everything it can to make that happen regardless if users want it or not. The browser isn't bad but it's definitely a work-in-progress with several features, add-ons being the major one, yet to make an appearance on the stable Windows 10 builds. It also has it quirks one of which is that the browser doesn't ask you if you want to save or run a file when you click a 'Download' button. The download simply starts and you can only cancel or pause it. If you wanted to save a file to a different location i.e. not in the default downloads folder, then you will have to move it later once the file has downloaded. If you'd like Edge to prompt you before a download begins and ask whether to save a file, and where to save it, you can get it do so with a little change in the Windows registry. Read More
How To Disable Sticky Corners On Windows 10 Dual Monitor Setup
Windows 10 has reasonably good support for a dual monitor setup. It's possibly the best support Windows has ever had for a dual monitor setup compared to the previous version. Windows also has a super neat feature called Snap that lets you quickly snap windows to either edge of your screen. Couple these two together and you have a problem; users on a dual monitor setup who try to move a window from one monitor to the other by dragging it along the top of the screen are stopped because the window snaps to the edge instead. The sticky corners along the top are meant to prevent users from unintentionally moving a window to the next screen but they are often a hindrance to users looking to do just that. The solution is to disable the sticky corners using a free and light weight app called Non Stick Mouse. Read More
How To Download A File You Skipped In A Torrent
Torrenting is a much frowned upon and extremely popular way to share files. It can help files download faster, it lets you pause and resume a download, and it builds a community. A single torrent can download multiple files. Let's say you want to download multiple versions of the Firefox browser but don't want to be bothered looking for it in different software and app repositories, and then downloading the versions individually. You could probably find them all in one place and ready to download as torrent. Where a torrent lets you download multiple files in one go, it also lets you individually choose which of the files you want to download and skip the ones you don't want. If you have skipped a file in a torrent and later decided to download it, you might wonder just how to do that since there is no 'I changed my mind and want to download this file now' button to do the trick. Here's what to do. Read More
How To Bring Back 'Open With' Option In Windows 10 Right-Click Context Menu
The amount of bugs Windows 10 has, one might think they're a feature and Microsoft is just trying to teach everyone how to Google for a solution to problems. An odd bug that some Windows 10 users have encountered is the 'Open with...' option missing from the right-click context menu when users right-click a file. The option is a very important one as it allows users to select an app to open the file with. For unidentified files, or files that a default program has not been associated with, this option is the fastest and at times only way to set a default program. If the option is missing on your system it's to do with a problem in the Windows registry. It's easy enough to fix even if the solution isn't obvious enough to spot. Here's what you need to do.

Our daily workflow often involves one app that we simply cannot function without. It might be the web browser for some and Photoshop for others. It depends on what you do but what many people often need, regardless of what line of work they're in, is to pin an app on top of all others so that it's never ever sent to the background even when out of focus. Some apps have this feature built-in but they are a very rare breed. Third-party apps like PinMe do a decent job of letting users pin any app or window to the top but they aren't the most convenient to use given they lack support for hotkeys. If you're looking for a way to pin the current active window to the top in Windows 10, you can use AutoHotkey and a little script to get it done. The script will let you use the Ctrl+Space bar shortcut to pin a window to the top. Here's how it works. Read More
How To Stream From VLC Player To Chromecast
Since February of 2015, VLC has promised to add support for Chromecast but the feature has yet to be implemented. The stable version of VLC still doesn't support casting to the Chromecast but support for it has been spotted in the nightly builds of VLC 3.0. The release date for a stable build of version 3.0 hasn't been given yet and for all we know it might not drop until the end of this year (or even early next year) but VLC is indeed adding support for the Chromecast just as it promised. If you aren't too bothered with bugs, you can download the nightly build yourself and use it to cast to your Chromecast. Fair warning: it's very buggy. Read More
How To Open An App Or File In A New Virtual Desktop On Windows 10
The virtual desktops on Windows 10 are a small yet significant addition to the desktop OS. The feature is great and is begging developers and Microsoft alike to develop it into something better. The concept has been around for ages with macOS and Ubuntu both supporting it but no one seems to want to develop the feature into anything really useful. Fortunately, there are apps that lend virtual desktops in Windows 10 more functionality than they come with out of the box. VDesk is a free and open source little app that lets you open any app or file in a new Virtual Desktop from the context menu. It also supports command line arguments that can open an app or file on a specific virtual desktop. Here's how it works. Read More
Here's Where Windows 10 Default Wallpapers Are Saved
Windows isn't known for its breathtaking desktop wallpapers but they aren't bad either, just not comparable to those found on macOS. At one point, the Windows XP desktop image was one of the most popular images in the world. If you're in love with any of the Windows 10 wallpapers and want to use them elsewhere, in addition to your desktop, you might want to know where they're saved on your system. The images, in all their HD glory are inside your Windows root folder. Read More
How To Enable GameDVR On Windows 10 On An Unsupported System
The Xbox app on Windows 10 has a pretty amazing little feature that lets users screenshot games or record game play. It can even be used to record your screen but oddly enough, the feature is tied to hardware i.e. the graphics card installed on your system. If the card isn't the right series GameDVR simply won't work. This is odd since recording your screen is something people have been doing for ages and there are countless apps that let you do just this. If you have a system that doesn't have a supported graphics card, or the graphics card is supported but Windows 10 still tells you GameDVR won't work on your system, then you need to give GameDVR_Config a try. It's a little configurations file that makes it so GameDVR will work on Windows 10 even if the graphics card isn't compatible. Read More
How To Enable/Disable Adaptive Brightness In Windows 10
Adaptive brightness retroactively adjusts the brightness of your screen according the light around you. It's one of those features on our smartphones we like to take for granted. Adaptive Brightness will dim or brighten the display according to the light in your surroundings. This ensures the display is neither too bright nor too dark no matter where you. Windows 10 has an adaptive brightness feature that works on laptops with an ambient light sensor built into them. Depending on your power plan, adaptive brightness may or may not be enabled on your system. Here's how you can enable/disable it. Read More
How To Set The Windows 10 Spotlight Image As The Desktop Background
Say what you will about Bing as a search engine but the images it displays on your Windows 10 lock screen are simply breath taking. The wallpapers that come packaged with Windows 10 aren't as gorgeous as the Windows 10 Spotlight images and you get a fresh one every day. Unfortunately the images aren't credited and you don't know who captured the stunning landscape or even what place it is. This makes it difficult to track the photo down, save it to your hard drive, and set it as the desktop background. The good news is, it doesn't have to hard and in truth you don't need to search for the image because it's already on your disk. All you have to do is find it, rename it a bit, and then set it as the desktop background. Here's how. Read More
How To Upload A 360° Photo To Facebook
Facebook has long supported 360° videos and it's no secret that the company is vested in virtual reality. With 360° videos, you couldn't get in on the action much unless you had the right device to record one. Most users were left to watch them while not being able to record their own. Facebook has just rolled out 360° photos which lets you get in on some of the action. The feature takes photos captured as panoramas and uploads them in a 360° view-able format. Your friends can pan around the image like they can with videos and look around. Previously, Facebook treated panoramic photos like it did all others. Here's how to upload one. Read More
How To Import A Photo Edited On Your iPhone To Your Computer
iOS 8 introduced quite a few editing options in the default Photos app that allowed you to straighten and crop a photo among other things. If at any time you ever feel you've made a mistake editing the photo you can always reset it. It's pretty awesome and it lets you edit away without having to worry about losing a good photo. This all great up until you try and import the photo like you do all others to your Mac or PC. You will find the photo can only be imported in its unedited original form. You might also notice that for every photo you edited using the Photos app, there is a corresponding AAE format file for it. If you're wondering where those files came from and how you can import your edited photo to your Mac or PC without too much trouble, we have the answers. Read More

Santorum attacks Romney in Detroit
Thursday, 16 February 2012 16:10
Written by James O'Toole
DETROIT -- Rick Santorum, describing himself as an opponent of all government bailouts, criticized Mitt Romney today for favoring the government's rescue of Wall Street while opposing aid to the auto industry.
Twelve days before a crucial primary here, and on a day when General Motors had announced record earnings, Santorum said that the auto industry would have done as well or better if the federal government, under the Bush and Obama administrations, had not intervened to save GM and Chrysler.
Santorum emphasized that his criticism extended to both administrations as he said that both had supported polices that were "injurious to capitalism.''
He faulted the Bush regime, for example, for bailing out the investment firm Bear Stearns at the outset of the financial crisis. He said that both Wall Street and Detroit would have been better off without the government intervention.
"I went though this with the steel industry ... no one bailed out the steel industry,'' he said, arguing that "the facilities that are creating huge profits right now'' would still exist without the government's decision to invest billions in the auto giants.
"Would the auto industry look different than it does today? Yes it would ....Would it still be alive and well? I think it would be alive and just as well, equally if not better,'' he said.
"I actually blame President Bush more than President Obama,'' he added, saying that his decisions set an unfortunate precedent for a government role in the industry's restructuring.
Santorum spoke to an audience of several hundred at the Detroit Economics Club, laying out his tax plan with its call for an end to corporate taxes on manufacturing industries. The Santorum proposal would replace the current structure of the personal income tax with two brackets, 10 percent and 28.5 percent for more affluent taxpayers. He would cut the corporate levy in half, to 17.5 percent, but would exempt manufacturing firms from even that rate.
He argued that the special treatment was justified by global competitive challenges faced by a sector that once accounted for 20 percent of U.S. jobs before shrinking its current proportion of 9 percent.
"Making things is the key to wealth creation in any society,'' he said, adding that a strong manufacturing base was also essential for national security reasons.
Santorum also took the opportunity to address several criticisms of his record pressed by the Romney campaign. He noted that his lifetime AFL-CIO voting score was just 13 percent. Reacting to his recent victories and soaring poll numbers, the Romney campaign has increasingly attacked him for having voted against right-to-work measures, and portrayed him as a big spender over his support for appropriations bills that contained earmarks.
Santorum reminded the audience of Romney's verbal lapse when he said that he wasn't "worried about the poor.''
"We have to be concerned about everybody,'' he said.

great idea, Angela… i like tube beads too & i like bracelets wide so this achieves a funky souwest feel!
Wow, Angela! What a great way to use those tube beads, I would never of thought of doing a wrap with them. You always have such fabulous wrap bracelets, and this one is definitely one of my favorites
I love these beads also and I really like how you used them in a bracelet. They look very organic and hip.
Wow Angela…both of these are awesome!! What a cool effect with the tube beads. They both look very rustic and natural!!
These are both gorgeous. Your wrap bracelets are always so unique
Wonderfully rich and tactile! What a creative twist on a familiar style. This is not only a beautiful piece, but chunking those tubes up all together is a genius idea. It really highlights the beauty of the stone itself. It's much more dynamic than stringing them as onsies.
What gorgeous jasper! And your design and finishings really show them to their best advantage!
Thank you all so much! I'm glad you like them!
I ordered a bunch more of these tubes, so I'll be making more in other colors and patterns.
What a great way to use tube beads! Beautiful and rustic!
Angela, These are AWESOME! I agree with Eve, the stones really shine in these beauties all stacked side-by-side. Your bracelets are the best!
Very nice!! I did some of those with shorter, fatter tubes. I think it makes them very smooth on your wrist.
Really love the rich earthy colors in this wrap bracelet. I would have never thought to use tubes that way, very clever! Gorgeous creation.
Love the colors in these….they just ooze southwest/desert!
Great-looking bracelet – tube beads are a great idea – love the look!
Wow, beautiful! I agree with those above about the stones really showing themselves off in a totally different way when they're next to each other like that.
Very cool look…love the jasper
Another great design, Angela – - this bracelet popped up on my Etsy screen and I totally loved it the minute I saw it !
Ditto everyone above! The crazy lace absolutely glows! Fab design!
Angela, you out did yourself, ditto to everyone
I forgot to ask. Does one strand to a bracelet? Thanks
Thank you all so much, I soooo appreciate you wonderful comments!
Wanda, each strand comes with 30 beads and these bracelets use 34-36 depending on how long you want it. However you could add some other beads like the pyrite rice I added to the leopardskin jasper one to make up the difference.
Thanks Angela
Wow love these!! I have to try this
Very good idea. Love the bracelets & the beads !!

Would definitely book here next time I stay nearby
Arrived around 9.00pm and greeted with very friendly staff member who showed me to the room and then told me where I could go to get some dinner (they're a B & B) so no serving of food.
Very comfortable room and everything you need. Quiet and decent internet (free) connection speed. Cooked breakfast and other standard choices in the morning - well cooked and nice. Very nice and as per my subject line - would definitely stay at this one without looking elsewhere if I have to return to the work at the same customer location again.

Excellent Hotel with a lot of character
Excellent little hotel with a clean, modern feel that offers plenty of features for your money.
Our only complaints were minor; The room was cold upon arrival and the heating seemed to be sporadic (however we did arrive very late in the night), and there was some small superficial damage visible in the room. Other than that the room was absolutely flawless, and we would visit again in a heartbeat.

One night only!
We arrived to a very warm welcome, we were in the annexe so no problem of coming in late!.
As it turned out we weren't as late as we thought we would be. The room had everything we needed and the beds were very comfy. We ate our breakfast in a very pleasant conservatory. Definitely stay again.

Shower was cold,WiFi didn't work, room was cold
Great place friendly service
The check in time was very flexible because we didn't check in until about 1600, it was a quick check in and we were shown straight to the room, after this we found the folder with all the local information which was very handy, taxi numbers and places to eat etc..
The wifi was very good and connection very easy. The room was big enough for us for our one night stay but if we were staying for a few nights would have maybe needed a bigger room, the bed was comfortable and the room was clean to a very high standard. Check out was quick and efficient and greater with a friendly goodbye.

We occupied Twin Room 1 which was clean, tidy, beds comfortable, room to move around, en suite satisfactory, Would definitely stay again if in that area and recommend highly to others. A very pleasant, comfortable stay. I forgot to mention to staff, it would help if shallow step inside main building had safety yellow and black diagonal stripes. There are "Mind the step" notices above door but I didn't look up.

*Rapper Lil Wayne is known for a lot of things nowadays.
Aside from being one of the best rappers in the industry and selling a bunch of records, Dwayne Carter is also known for a clothing line geared towards skaters and those wacky, fuzzy Uggs we have seen him wearing on various occasions.
Can you say weird?
But where we might say Lil Wayne is normal (in a rapper's world) is that he only has four baby mama's.
Who are the women who have had Lil Wayne's children?
Check out the list below.
Known as the cutesy star in the movie "ATL," the world was shocked when they found out that she was pregnant by Wayne.
Many sites expected the beautiful young actress to end up with someone … umm … beautiful as well. Aside from that, no one thought she was even attracted to a guy like Wayne.
But if there's one thing London got out of this, it's security; probably lifetime security being the mother of one of Wayne's children.
The couple has a son named Cameron together.
Nivea is an Atlanta native and 29-year-old recording artist who failed to hit it big aside from a few songs.
The singer has a kid from the singer "The Dream," but had a kid with Lil Wayne named Neal Carter who is now 3-years-old.
The couple is no longer together and Nivea has made countless songs about their torrid love affair.
Antona Carter was the first woman that Lil Wayne reportedly fell in love with.
Toya Carter, as she is known, met Dwayne Carter in their hometown of New Orleans, Louisiana. When she was 14 they were in love and she became pregnant. By 22, he'd become "Lil Wayne," and she was a divorced single mom, living in Atlanta.
Since then, the mother has started dating another rap industry personality Memphitz and is reportedly pregnant by him. For a brief stint, she was part of a BET show called "Tiny and Toya" with T.I.'s wife Tiny.
The couple has a young teenager daughter together named Reginae.
Wayne's first son is Dwayne Michael Carter III. He had this child with Sarah Vivan who Wayne met in Cincinnati while he was on tour.
Sarah is an aspiring stylist like many celebrity rappers wives tend to be.
She is 24-years-old and has another child apart from the one she has with Wayne.

News Identifying Substance Found at Security Firm Key to Bomb Investigation
MANASSAS, Va. — What exactly was inside the explosive device found at the offices of a security firm in Manassas remains at the center of the investigation.
Detectives from the Manassas Police Department, as well as federal investigators from the ATF continue to probe the case of an explosive found one week ago in the city, and that was later detonated by Virginia State Police.
There are few new details in the case. Police aren't saying how big the explosive was, nor could they say how much damage it might have caused if it had not been carefully detonated by police.
"Because the actual substance inside of it is still under investigation, there is no way to tell what the impact could have been if the had it gone off intentionally," said Manassas police spokeswoman Adrienne Helms.
The bomb was found about 3 p.m. Nov. 18 at the office of the Falken Industries, a private security firm. The office complex on Va. 28 was evacuated and the bomb was detonated about 7 p.m. No one was injured.
Helms said police would release new information when it is available but did not say how long it would take to determine what substance was found inside the bomb.

UC Irvine tops Times Higher Education's U.S. schools under 50 years old
As the University of California, Irvine approaches the milestone of its 50th year of operation in 2015, the campus has been honored again by Times Higher Education magazine as the top-rated university in the United States for schools under 50 years old.
UC Irvine, which opened in 1965, ranked seventh on the "100 under 50" listing by London-based Times Higher Education, finishing out its eligibility for the worldwide distinction above the University of California, Santa Cruz at No. 11 and the University of Illinois at Chicago, ranked 13th.
Cathy Lawhon, senior director of media relations and publications for UCI, said even as the university leaves the "100 under 50" category for the World University Rankings, it will continue to improve and provide the best possible education to its students.
"We're very proud of the progress we've been able to make as a young university," Lawhon said.
According to the press release from Times Higher Education, the United States only has eight universities in the top "100 under 50" category, even though its institutions dominate the top 100 World Reputation Rankings, with 46 universities.
UCI still outranked the other U.S. universities on the "100 under 50" list despite dropping two spots from its fifth-place ranking in 2013.
The Pohang University of Science and Technology in South Korea was given the first-place spot in the "100 under 50" category.
Besides being seventh in the "100 under 50," UC Irvine also was ranked 93rd in the World University Ranking.

My husband and I used this Pep Boys location in Tillman's Corner, AL. We were a little skeptical at first because of other reviews, but decided to give it a try anyway. We showed up on New Year's Eve for four new tires. We were helped promptly, efficiently, and with a smile. The lady at the front desk was very helpful and knnowledgeable. All of the workers who came to the front desk were polite and had good rapport with customers and each other. We decided to leave the truck for the tire installation since they said servce would take about an hour and 45 minutes. We got a call saying it was ready a little over an hour later. Needless to say, this was a great experience. Because of this location, I will continue to use Pep Boys in the future.

I have never written a business review but at this time there is only a 1-star review for this company in which I absolutely disagee with. I have no affiliation with USA Auto besides repeat work done on my car and my husband's truck that we will continue to only bring here! Prices are the best around, friendly service, and the guys have always been up front and helpful with us. Not to mention, never had a problem with any of their work. Thinking maybe there was a back order on the part for the other reviewer...? I recommend them to everyone I know (and don't) when it comes to auto repair :)
The best customer service ever experienced with competitive prices. not only do they buy batteries, but they also purchase alternators, starters, ac compressors, aluminum wheels, transmissions, Catalytic Converters, copper and electric motors. go by there or call them , you'll be glad you did

Answers at last for feisty widow
Relevant offers
Dot Boyd is 85, stoic and staunch.
But three years after the earthquakes badly damaged the house she helped build, she fears she won't see it fixed before she dies.
Late yesterday, the Government admitted it had "dropped the ball", and that the Aranui woman can expect to receive money from EQC for the repair of her home by Monday.
But that was only after the sprightly Boyd, with anger and frustration in her voice, spoke to Labour MPs, including leader David Cunliffe, in her living room yesterday.
Her voice wavered at times and tears welled up in her eyes as she told her story. Hours later, a spokesman for Earthquake Recovery Minister Gerry Brownlee said the Earthquake Commission (EQC) and Fletchers had "dropped the ball" on Boyd's case, which was "obviously very disappointing".
"Both [EQC and Fletchers] had promised to fix the situation up as a priority."
Boyd will pocket her capped payment on Monday. She was thrilled "someone is finally listening to me".
"That's absolutely wonderful. I just want to live in my house. I haven't got many more years and I want to spend them living in my house."
Boyd said finding the courage to speak up "when there are hundreds and hundreds just like me" took some time but she soon had the politicians captivated as she spoke about how she and her late husband built the house, what damage was inflicted on it and how she cannot bear to think of another cold winter ahead.
"This is my fourth winter coming up and I can't go through another one," she said.
The house is unstable and draughty. Boards still block some of the cold air and Boyd's heat pump provides a temporary reprieve from the cold but the heat soon seeps out through the gaps.
She had endured "endless conversations" with insurers and EQC and has been promised everything from a total rebuild to being overcapped. A request in February 2013, asking her to move out while repairs were done, came and went with no action.
"I feel like I'm squatting in my own house. I've had enough. I'm packed and ready to leave, no-one seems to care," she said.
The only certainty she had was that her driveways and fences would be fixed. No-one was willing or able to talk about the house, Boyd said.
"It just goes on and on and on. It's very stressful."
When asked what she would say if she could talk directly to an insurance or EQC manager, her response was typically direct.
"I think I might explode. I have been pushed from pillar to post. I just want an answer."
Cunliffe said he was angry and sympathetic towards Boyd's plight.
"I have a mother about Dot's age and I would hate to see her in a situation like this."
Insurers and EQC had failed when they could not swiftly process claims that affected the older population, he said.
State spokeswoman Renee Walker said the damage to Boyd's home had been assessed as under the EQC cap of $100,000 and would be managed by Fletchers. A claim for her paths, driveways and fences had been received.
"We assessed the damage [to driveways, fences and paths] last year and gave Dot the option of cash settling or having the reinstatement work done. She has opted to have the work carried out once her home has been repaired, which she indicated would be early this year."
"Due to her age, Dot is a priority customer for State and her repair work will be done as soon as she is ready for this to happen."

Mosquito spray cutback spawns furor
Ecology plan has residents itching for fight
GRANDVIEW, Wash. – Jim Pinson remembers the days before mosquito control near his farmhouse along the banks of the Yakima River east of here.
Some summer evenings, he recalls, 20 or more mosquitoes could land on just his hand in the time it took to walk from his back door to a deck chair.
In 1992, his neighborhood annexed into the Benton County Mosquito Control District, which sprays a network of ponds just across the Yakima River from his house. A summer evening outdoors now requires a few swats, nothing more.
"We still get mosquitoes, but boy, not like we used to," said Pinson, a retired teacher.
But now Pinson, some of his neighbors and local mosquito control officials worry that they could see an increase in mosquitoes if new spray restrictions are adopted by the state.
Citing its toxicity to fish and other wetland animals, the state Department of Ecology is considering banning the spraying of insecticides that target adult mosquitoes near rivers, ponds and lakes.
There would be clear exceptions to allow spraying in areas where diseases carried by the insects, such as West Nile virus, have been confirmed.
And spraying for larvae, considered less environmentally harmful, would continue as it is now done.
Still, the Ecology Department proposal is drawing fire here and in other parts of the state.
A public hearing last week at the Moses Lake Fire Department attracted an overflow crowd of more than 200 people.
Critics don't want to distinguish between a mosquito with a disease and a "nuisance" mosquito, according to Angela Balint, manager of the Benton County Mosquito Control District, which stretches from the Tri-Cities into eastern Yakima County, including in and around Grandview and Mabton.
"We just want to consider all mosquitoes bad," she said.
No matter how aggressively larvae are sprayed, some still hatch, she said.
She also believes that waiting for a positive disease test could allow mosquitoes to propagate beyond control.
The mosquito district receives about 70 requests per year for adult spraying. Often called fogging, it is typically done from the back of pickups at night. The agency has been known to fog a neighborhood in advance of outdoor weddings and even made several applications with planes last year.
In eastern Yakima County, a high water table, flood plains and prevalence of irrigation make mosquitoes an "off-the-charts" problem, Balint said.
For example, Morgan Lake, a floodwater pond northeast of Mabton managed by the state Department of Fish and Wildlife, had mosquito counts 25 times a typical comfort level some nights last year, Balint said.
The areas around Grandview, Mabton and Prosser also are hot spots for West Nile virus.
The disease infects horses, birds and people. In 2009, 38 people contracted the disease statewide. Of those, 21 cases were in Yakima County and nine were in Benton County.
Still, West Nile virus is relatively minor and rare, said Gordon Kelly, director of environmental health for the Yakima Health District.
He said the Ecology Department's proposal will have a "minimal effect" on the spread of the virus.
