Liberty vs License in Marriage
1:17 PM | Posted by Scott | Edit Post
Now, don't worry, I'm not turning my blog into a political platform. The reason I bring this topic up is that, as with my last post, liberty and license relate directly to a marriage principle I also believe in strongly.
The "Problem" with Liberty
There is a downside to liberty, which is that some confuse liberty with license. Those who do so will tend to abuse their liberty by acting without appropriate restraint, self-control or consideration of others.
Historian and philosopher Will Durant put it this way, "When liberty becomes license, dictatorship is near."
What happens when liberty becomes license is that we over-react by introducing often severe restrictions on liberty in the name of fairness. We try to control everyone because of the stupidity of a few. (You can read my last post if you want to see what I think about the appropriateness of fairness as a yardstick for marriage.)
Liberty and License in Marriage
Marriage is to be a place of tremendous liberty but not a place of license.
By liberty I mean that we should not try to force our spouses to conform to our notion of what a husband or wife should be, even if it is biblically based. Don't approach your marriage with the notion that you can control or change him or her to be what you want. It doesn't work and will lead to disappointment and frustration all around.
At the same time, neither of you should view the liberty your spouse grants you to "be who you are" as license to behave in any manner you wish, to do whatever you want, or to act without regard to your spouse's interests or desires.
If you are the husband who sees himself as having the authority to lead his wife and family, taking that kind of license is when liberty edges toward dictatorship, as Durant said. Instead, use the liberty of your authority to love and serve your wife, to ensure that she feels cared for and protected.
A wife who takes license with her liberty, who acts without regard to her husband's needs and desires, will be seen by her husband as disrespectful, untrusting and ungrateful, and ultimately it will leave him feeling unloved. Instead, use your liberty to act with generosity toward your husband, showing him the respect he desires, the sexual attention he craves and the trust and admiration that makes him feel loved.
When you use the liberty in your marriage to love and serve one another it creates an atmosphere where freedom thrives, where trust grows and where the desire to control and constrain each other dies away.

Given that meeting peak power demand is the determinant of the amount of power capacity that needs to exist within a system, it's important to ask the question: how often is this expensive infrastructure actually needed?
In most cases, the answer is: surprisingly infrequently!
Which means that a power system can have a significant amount of power generation capacity (i.e. power plants), which is being called on very rarely. However although they may lie around idle for much of the time, power plants still need to be maintained and kept ready for the rare occasions when they are called on to generate. Alternatively, if they generate but at well below their maximum capacity, they will tend to be operating rather inefficiently. We'll talk about efficiency in a later lesson, but suffice to say that it's a bad thing if you've had to pay for fuel with which to operate the plant.
Either way, whether unused or inefficiently used, it's not great from an economic perspective.
As explained in this video, when faced with a huge amount of data for a system, the easiest way to analyse how often peak power demands occur – and hence the size of this capacity dilemma – is to view the data differently. Rather than view and plot it in time order, as a demand curve, we can instead view it in size order and plot a "load duration curve".
You might find the results quite alarming!

How do Twitter Employees use Twitter? [Infographic]
Would you be surprised to hear that Twitter employees use official Twitter apps to send and read their tweets much more often than the general public? Probably not, but that's what Business Insider found after looking into just how Twitter employees actually used Twitter.
Business Insider's Chart of the Day on Monday shows just how Twitter employees use Twitter.
They examined 2,700 tweets from the Twitter staff list, and mined the data to find out where Twitter employees were sending their tweets from.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, the majority of tweets were from Twitter.com itself. This number was very similar to how often the general public used Twitter.com: 32% of the employees' tweets were from Twitter.com, while 35% of the general public sent tweets from the official website.
The second most-popular source of Twitter employees' tweets was Twitter for iPhone, making up 22% of all tweets analyzed. The general public, on the other hand, used Twitter for iPhone for only about 11% of their tweets.
An even greater disparity between the employees and the general public is Twitter for Mac: the employees use it for 18% of their tweets, while the general public only uses it for 0.4%.
And on the other side of things, the general public apparently uses TweetDeck to send 13% of their tweets, while just 2% of the Twitter employees' tweets were sent from this third-party application.

Indigenous stories offer highly accurate accounts of events that occurred over 10,000 years ago, including known changes in sea levels and the disappearance of land mass, research shows.
Associate Professor Nick Reid from the University of New England has been comparing Indigenous stories from across Australia with the scientific chronology of sea level rises over the past 20,000 years.
He said Indigenous oral traditions had accurately documented known changes in sea levels and the disappearance of land mass.
"People point to Cairns rainforests, and local Aboriginal people say 'Oh, well, actually a long time ago this wasn't rainforest, it was open woodland'," he said.
"There are people who have done pollen analysis in recent years and it turns out that rainforest is only 7,500 years old and prior to that it was indeed open woodland.
"There are also stories about mega fauna and about comets."
Professor Reid said it demonstrated the continuity of culture of Indigenous Australians and could have an impact on Native Title claims.
The stories have survived through oral transmission for over 10,000 years.
"If people were telling them 10,000 years ago and they're continuing to tell them today, then that's real evidence of continuity of culture," Professor Reid said.
"One of the requirements under Native Title is to establish continuity of culture and when you have transmission of the same story, we might be talking about across 500 generations, that's a remarkable thing."
"You can only do that if a culture is intact."
Professor Reid said he would now look to expand the research to examine other events that scientists know occurred thousands of years ago.

What is a pronoun? A pronoun is a word that is used in place of a noun in a sentence. These function in the same way as nouns; a pronoun is also a "person, place, or thing." However, there is a slight difference. A pronoun replaces a noun–that noun is called the "antecedent." You have […]More Info

Star Trek Online since Massively's last column on the game! The Captain's Log's previous author, Brandon Felczer, accepted a position with Perfect World Entertainment (Cryptic Studios' parent company) and is now a community manager for Star Trek Online. We wish him the best in his future endeavors. And that makes me, Terilynn Shull, your new STO columnist!
Since then, Cryptic's newest patch, A Call to Arms, was released to subscribers. The patch was really the preliminary push of the anticipated free-to-play model that Cryptic announced will occur on January 17th, 2012. To the dismay of many players, the patch did not contain any new mission content, and we've been told not to expect any new story-driven content until at least February of next year.
However, A Call to Arms did include the nervously awaited single-currency economy, the highly anticipated duty officer system, and a revamped set of strategic task force (STF) missions, and it was soon followed by the controversial holiday event and "homage" to Star Wars: The Old Republic.

Montezuma's Organic Giant Chocolate Buttons are lovely. I tried these for the first time yesterday and I am quite impressed. They are great for sharing.
These dark chocolate buttons are made using 54% cooca solids. They are dairy free, vegan, gluten free and organic. They are a little sweet so do contain a fair bit of sugar, however they will appeal to more people because of this. The British people are so used to the sweet and fatty taste of so called chocolate, so I do think these Montezuma's buttons will please most people because they are sweeter than most dark chocolate. The taste is a sweet dark chocolate and the vanilla in the mix softens the bitterness of the chocolate.
I like the fact that these Chocolate Buttons are made in the UK. Each 180 gram bag is priced at around £2.79. I got mine from the Health Food Shop.

Work as a Retail Loss-Prevention Specialist
In a time of economic uncertainty, retail employers are looking to expand their loss-prevention teams.
"In a weakened economy, the rate of retail theft increases," says Fred Warren, a former loss-prevention specialist at the Hadley, Massachusetts, TJ Maxx store. "People are more prone to steal in a troubled economy."
If you have a passion for retail and an interest in criminal justice, this in-demand field may be for you. Consider loss prevention's perks and downsides.
What Do Loss-Prevention Specialists Do?
Loss-prevention specialists watch over the sales floor to prevent shoplifting and changing of price tags. They may patrol on foot in full uniform to act as a theft deterrent, or they may dress in street clothes and pretend to be customers as they look for what's commonly called "the steps."
Various "step" behaviors indicate someone is moving toward theft, Warren says. For example, shoplifters may select items that belong to the store, conceal the merchandise and walk past the cash register without paying.
As a loss-prevention specialist, you are also responsible for reducing employee-perpetrated store shrinkage. "This requires greater attention to detail, as there are many ways and opportunities for employees to affect the 'store shrink' totals," Warren says. Employees manning cash registers could reduce an item's price for a friend or simply fail to ring up merchandise and place it in a bag. Employees may also try to perform fraudulent returns.
Skills and Qualifications
According to Kiersten Peterson, former HR associate at Macy's in Colonie, New York, retailers are particularly interested in candidates with a background or interest in criminal justice.
Weekend and evening work is common, so expect to be flexible with scheduling. "This job requires working any and all hours that the store is open, as well as prior to opening and until the last person has left the store," Peterson says.
Warren recommends asking potential employers if the job requires working in other locations. "Many companies expect employees to travel from store to store," he says. "A reliable vehicle is important."
But a willingness to work long hours isn't the only requirement. "Candidates must possess strong self-control and a high level of common sense," Warren adds. "Specialists may find themselves in tense situations in which the wrong words could place their personal safety in jeopardy."
As a loss-prevention specialist, things won't always go your way. For example, you may suspect that an individual has stolen from the store she works for, but she didn't follow the steps. Maybe you didn't see the employee actually select the merchandise from the sales floor, but your gut tells you she can't afford that $500 cashmere sweater. You know you can't approach the employee, even though you're confident you can get her to confess in the security office.
Moreover, "the slow times can be the most challenging times," says Warren. The clock can appear to stand still when you are on duty, particularly after the holidays.
You also must be prepared for anything. You may need to apprehend someone you know. This can be particularly stressful if it's a close friend or neighbor.
Look Before You Leap
Some businesses require their loss-prevention specialists to make a certain number of apprehensions each month. This can put a lot of pressure on you, which can lead to poor decisions.
Warren advises job seekers to look for organizations that focus more on your impact on overall store shrinkage. "This better reflects the job that is being done and allows the loss-prevention specialist more opportunity to help the store," he says.

Too sensitive to talk about or too funny not to mention
14.1.2020 – The monologue at the 2020 Golden Globes by Ricky Gervais lead to a lot of on-line response. While humorously complaining of many topics of societal wrongdoing, by some his critique was perceived as going too far rather than being funny. Whereas some feel that you just can't say anything anymore, humour could be of particular value opening conversation on those sensitive topics. Especially when a joke addresses an issue too personally close for some, it could contribute towards a solution of the underlying problem.Read More

Sunday was a huge payday for some riders at the Burton U.S. Open Snowboarding Championships at [R430R, Stratton]. Chas Guldemond and Jamie Anderson clinched the men's and women's Burton Global Open Series titles, worth $100,000 each, and Peetu Piirionen won the Ticket To Ride World Tour championship title, worth $50,000. The next four TTR riders split $60,000.
Guldemond's good fortune did not stop with the BGOS title however, as he earned $20,000 for winning Sunday's Slopestyle Final, and $25,000 for placing second in the TTR. He had a strong contingent of supporters over from his hometown in Laconia, N.H.
Anderson won going away, although she did not compete in the Halfpipe Final Saturday or the Slopestyle Final Sunday because she fell in slopestyle practice Saturday, injured her spleen and was hospitalized.
The Stratton event capped the Burton Global Open Series, which started in New Zealand, and moved to Australia, Europe, Canada, the Asian Open in Japan, and finished this past week in Vermont. Athletes compiled points at each stop, with the highest point total winning the BGOS title, and the money.
Guldemond placed first in Sunday's men's Slopestyle Finals; Kjersti Oestgaard Buaas of Norway won the women's Slopestyle Finals.
Torah Bright of Australia won the women's Halfpipe Finals on Saturday, nipping Kelly Clark of Vermont, who finished second. Both have now won the event three times.
American Danny Kass won the men's Halfpipe finals, and Peetu Piiroinen of Finland placed second.
Mia Troy of Burton summed up the week: "It was great, really amazing. The weather cooperated, the crowds were stoked, the riders definitely stepped it up and threw down on their runs. There were great tricks and runs put together by the riders. Really good vibes and a good week."
If money weren't enough to inspire the competitors, Volvos were on the line for overall male and female rider at the Stratton event. Scotty Lago of New Hampshire won as men's overall rider, and Buaas won as the women's.
People might think it's all about the money, but it isn't. Snowboarders want to ride in the U.S. Open because it's the premier snowboarding event in the world. Success here can make a career, but simply being in the Open is sufficient reward for many.
Mikaela Casy, one of the competitors, is 18. "I started snowboarding when i was 10 years old. I come from a big skiing family and after my older sister and younger brother started snowboarding I knew I had to get into it. My little brother TJ is sort of my inspiration; he competes nationally as well.
"I loved snowboarding so much and joined a competitive snowboard team back at home in Minnesota. First I started with USASA nationals, which lead to rev tours, which lead to Grand Prixs, World Cups, and of course the US Open," Casey said.
"There are many reasons I snowboard. I am super competitive so I love competing. Also, I have so many friends from all over the U.S. and get to travel and stay with all of them for competitions. When I am snowboarding nothing else really matters, it gives me such a good feeling and is so much fun," she said.
In the end that's what most people in and around the sport say: Snowboarding is fun.
Liam Griffin, Burton Global Open Series director, said: "We had an amazing week overall. There was a little bit of crazy weather today (Sunday) but it wouldn't be an event on the East Coast if you didn't have some weather. A really strong snow squall came through just as the Slopestyle was under way. New snow is really tough, it's slow, and threw the riders off. It also threw off our filming. But we had a plan in place to clear by hand because you can't use machines in the middle of competition. At one point it was sunny and snowing at the same time, and made for some interesting shots.
"Saturday was the best day of the whole event. The riding level was very high, crowds were huge, we parked people in every available spot, all the lots were full and cars were parked along both sides of the road, all the way down to the Bondville Fairgrounds," he said.
"The energy level with the crowd was great. Everybody was enjoying the Halfpipe Final," he said.
Griffin said he spoke with a Stratton regular who recalled the first U.S. Open there in 1985, three years after the event was first held in Vermont.
"It's hard to imagine a snowboarding event like this 25 years ago, but this fellow said he'd like to be around 25 years from now," Griffin said.
"I've been doing this for 10 years, and I'll be back for another next year. I'll be back in 10 years. There will always be a U.S. Open," he said.

Grant Supports Transfer Students' Success at UHD
'Accelerated Transfer Program' Recognized by U.S. Department of Education
By Mike Emery
Each year, hundreds of transfer students continue their academic journeys at the University of Houston-Downtown (UHD).
Now, UHD has additional resources to help transfers graduate on time with little to no debt and provide them with targeted actions for career success.
The University is a recipient of a $2.748 million Title V grant that will support its "Accelerated Transfer Program" aimed at providing students with enhanced advising, coaching and clear pathways toward bachelor's degrees. This grant was awarded by the U.S. Department of Education's Developing Hispanic-Serving Institutions (DHSI) Program.
The "Accelerated Transfer Program" is designed to enhance articulation agreements between UHD and community college partners. The goal of the program is to provide transfer students a transformative educational experience by implementing a collection of high impact strategies and practices that will prepare them for both academic and career success. These strategies also will significantly increase persistence and degree completion at UHD. The program has three critical phases for helping transfer students:
- Charting the course: Components of this phase include embedded advisors and transfer webpage supplemented by degree maps, financial literacy, and pre-orientation messaging.
- Fueling the journey: This includes enhanced transfer student orientation and transfer career learning communities supported by career services and pragmatic learning experiences inside and outside of the classroom.
- Navigating the pathway: This is the final phase of mentoring and coaching will be supplemented by course redesign of gateway courses and academic recovery program.
Students who ultimately complete bachelor's degrees in their selected disciplines will earn a "career digital badge" that will be applied to their respective comprehensive student records.
"The 'Accelerated Transfer Program' complements existing initiatives focused on transfer student success within UHD's colleges and Division of Student Affairs. I twill further strengthen transfer student success in UHD's classrooms … and ultimately, in their professional careers or graduate studies," said Faiza Khoja, UHD associate vice president of academic affairs, who also serves as the Principal Investigator on this grant.
Dr. Bill Waller, professor of mathematics and and associate dean of the University College and Dr. Nazly Dyer, director of institutional data analytics, serve as the co-principal investigators.
In 2017, UHD signed articulation agreements with Houston Community College (HCC) and Lone Star College (LSC), two of the largest community colleges in the nation. These agreements are committed to the principles outlined in the "Accelerated Transfer Program." Embedded advisers are already in place at HCC and LSC campuses, and this fall, UHD degree maps were rolled out offering guidance at both community colleges.
Soon, degree maps and embedded advising will be at San Jacinto College as UHD administrators recently signed articulation agreements with that institution on August 2018.
Title V awards from the DHSI Program support Hispanic-Serving Institutions as they expand academic opportunities for students. This year's grant is one of three received by UHD over the past six years. In 2012, UHD received a Title V award in 2012 for Project Star (focusing on student transition and retention) and in 2015 for the Pathways to Teaching Careers Program.
The University of Houston-Downtown (UHD)—the second largest university in Houston—has served the educational needs of the nation's fourth-largest city since 1974.
As one of four distinct public universities in the University of Houston System, UHD is a comprehensive four-year university led by Dr. Juan Sánchez Muñoz. Annually, UHD educates more than 14,000 students; boasts over 45,000 alumni and offers 44 bachelor's and eight master's degree programs within five colleges (Marilyn Davies College of Business; Humanities & Social Sciences; Public Service, Sciences & Technology; and University College). In 2018, UHD grew its First Time in College student population by 11 percent and transfer students by 14 percent.
UHD has the most affordable tuition among four-year universities in Houston. It also is ranked among 15 U.S. universities with lowest net price to students (according to the U.S. Department of Education). The University is noted nationally as both a Hispanic-Serving Institution and a Minority-Serving Institution. For more on the University of Houston-Downtown, visit www.uhd.edu.

Priceless Play -- 9 February 2019
Hello friends, welcome to February in our little column. Now, depending on how you feel about… that holiday, we can all agree that there is one very important day in February. Perhaps some of you think it's a needless expression of "feelings," or maybe some of you think it's a practice in consumerism, but I know that there is a special breed of person who can recognise in this day an outpouring of love, support, and good vibes. I am, of course, talking about my best friend Jordan Erica Webber's birthday on the 10th of February, the most sacred holiday of all. My dearest Jordan: even though I am 5,365 miles away from you, toiling away at the altar of academia, I would never pass by the opportunity to make everything about you for one special day.
Of course, not everyone knows who Jordan is, and so I suppose that broadly speaking one could apply the general feelings present here to all friendships — which is good. Friendship is good, and friendships are important. I only text like, max, three people (and I've gotten extremely bad at responding to texts; please see my recent column-apology about e-mails) because I get overwhelmed. I'm not suggesting that one needs to have an endless list of friends in order to get by in life. You work with what you've got! We're not going to make this a series of self-deprecating jokes about friendship here, folks. That's not what Jordan would want. And so! Please check out the following list of games which celebrate the love of friendship, and my friend Jordan.
Kara Stone's ・。゜★・。☆Super Uplifting Friendship Simulator・゜。★・。☆
Super Uplifting Friendship Simulator is aptly named, and extremely relevant to my interests. I've already mentioned that my main support system is 5,365 miles away from me (and I'm bad at texting). This is not an unfamiliar situation for Stone, who made this Twine game for her best friend, who she doesn't see very often. "This game is to replace each other when we are too busy with work, out of town, or otherwise unable to be a support system," Stone says of the game on its itch page. It's fairly straightforward: you present the game with a problem you've been having, whether it's with work or roommates, and the game responds with uplifting messages.
It's tough to be separated from the people who make you feel at home. It's hard to be miles, time zones, schedules, countries and cultures apart and not know when exactly you will be able to see someone again. I've moved a lot in the past decade, and navigating friendships through big moves is hard.
Bad Dreams' One Hand Clapping
Maybe this one is just me, but there's something about singing with your friends, you know what I mean? Karaoke, in the car with the windows down, wandering the aisles of Tesco and getting side-eye while your friends giggle and you try and hide behind a cheese display. Musicality is a must. Think of all those Hollywood montages! No, not the training ones. I'm thinking Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Clueless, The Breakfast Club, and Legally Blonde. Look at all those friends bonding/getting into law school/soundtracked to some wicked tunes! Do people still make mix-tapes for friends?
In One Hand Clapping from USC Games Studio's Bad Dreams, you must use the power of your voice to succeed. Now, it's still a demo — and a bit finnicky here and there — but it's clever, beautiful, and fun. Depending on your pitch, you can raise and lower platforms, build ramps, and solve puzzles. I kept laughing at myself, sitting at my desk, furiously and frustratedly humming into my microphone. Again — it's finnicky!! But when it works, and you realise that you're harmonising with yourself in a darkened cave, there's something about it that just… sings.
Lenny Magner's Strawberry Cake
Baking is very important to friendship, and I feel I have made it abundantly clear that everyone should learn how to cook or bake. Being able to present a friend with a home-baked cake, cookie, or sweet for no reason in particular is the height of extra, and a kind of joy I fully recommend everyone to pursue. In Lenny's Strawberry Cake you must bake a (strawberry) cake and then take it to a community picnic for all your friends to enjoy. I love it!!!
While there remains that undeniable pleasure of being able to show up at someone's house with a layer-cake or spun sugar no matter where in the world you are, it is sometimes difficult to manage when you and your baking companion's longitude and latitude do not entirely match. This is when recipes come in. I once heard someone say that cooking a recipe to the letter was a lot like letting someone else cook for you. This is how Ruby makes chili. While I am normally a liberal recipe rulebreaker, editing for what I have on hand, the same cannot be said of Jordan, who loves to follow the rules. Cooking a recipe, like reciting prayer, is a magical little way you can be connected to everyone else who has ever cooked that recipe. Sharing recipes is a love language.
I must put in the appropriate disclaimers here: Jordan is my friend, and didn't ask anybody's permission to dedicate this column to her, nor did I get told to do it! My journalistic integrity remains intact; valued above all else.

Hello! For the next couple of weeks the ABC Toys and Crafts DT is showing off My Cute Stamps images on the DT Blog. Julie sent me this whimsical set called Miss You, and I thought it would be perfect for a thank you card that I needed to make. I stamped the images with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink, and colored with Copics. I stamped the butterfly twice so I could cut out the wings and pop them up. I cut the images out with Circle Nestabilities and added some sponging and stitching. The sentiment and tag are from PTI~Tiny Tags, and the pretty dp is My Mind's Eye Six by Six~Vanity Fair.
All My Cute Stamp Sets are on sale HERE!!!
You might also want to check out the embellishment sale going on HERE!!!
Thank you so much for stopping by and enjoy your Thursday:)

New Thai government may ease border disputeBy David Swartzemtruber
Thaksin Shinawatra, elder brother of prime minister-elect Yingluck Shinawatra, has a good relationship with Cambodia's premier Hun Sen and that is probably the biggest reason for a peaceful resolution. The exiled Mr. Thaksin is widely regarded as the real power behind the Pheu Thai party with Ms. Yingluck being a "clone" of Mr. Thaksin.
Coincidentally, the Cambodian press is reporting that villagers along the border have begun to return to their homes.
The dispute between Thailand and Cambodia was exacerbated under the outgoing Democrat party when several nationalists were apprehended by the Cambodian army in the border area and charged with spying. Two were convicted of spying and are still being held in prison in Cambodia.
Subsequently, when the World Heritage Centre (WHC) advanced Cambodia's plan for managing the temple, Thailand walked out of its relationship with the WHC. The move was seen by many observers in Thailand as a ploy to stir up nationalists to come out and vote for the Democrats.
The effort failed, of course, as the Democrats lost handily to Pheu Thai in the recent July 3 election.
The border dispute was a major issue at the recent Asean Summit in Jakarta. Indonesia's mediation on the diplomatic side unfortunately did not bear much fruit, however, at a defense ministers' meeting following the summit, a cease-fire agreement was reached by the defense chiefs of the two countries.
As is the case with any new government anywhere in the world, the Pheu Thai government has many things on its agenda but at some point perhaps a solution can be found to straighten out this enduring problem between the two countries.

Canyon has announced that its bikes will be available to buy in the USA from the summer of 2017.
The German company will be looking to continue its hugely successful direct sales system in America, where its bikes will be delivered direct to the homes of consumers.
>> Subscribe to Cycling Weekly this Autumn and save 35%. Enjoy the luxury of home delivery and never miss an issue <<
>>> Pro bike: Tony Martin's new Canyon Speedmax CF SLX
"For many years, we have heard from riders wanting Canyon to come to the U.S. so they can have access to the same award-winning bikes", said Frank Aldorf, Canyon's chief Brand Officer.
He continued, "we are pleased to announce that we will be able to share the Canyon experience in the United States, with direct sales of our bikes beginning in Q3 of this year."
Watch: Cycling Weekly's Bike of the Year – Canyon Ultimate CF SLX
Following 2008, the year that international sales of Canyon bikes surpassed German ones, the company has been looking to expand to the USA.
It believes that "entering the U.S. marks the next big step for Canyon"
The German brand has secured a warehouse in Southern California and is reportedly looking for a place from which to base its managerial operations and U.S. customer support.
The move has been a long time in the works, and the last we heard of it was last year when the company said it planned to start selling bikes in the Spring of 2017.
Of course, this time last year Roman Arnold issued a letter of apology to Canyon's customers in Europe regarding the poor delivery times of their bikes.

According to Arnold, the brand's move to a new location and computer software "did not go as planned".
Canyon will be hoping the same mistakes aren't made in the transition to the USA.
It would seem that 2017 is going to be a busy year for the company, who have also just announced the Ultimate CF EVO, a new model of their hugely popular Canyon Ultimate range.

These games explore such themes as slavery, BDSM, taboo family action, transsexual dating, lolis, rape, interspecies sex, Pokémon action, futanari, breeding, harem, and (everyone's favorite) corruption.
Japanese porn games are equally as kinky, but they have a different kind of gameplay for the most part. It really is a joy for all the gamers out there. Just to reiterate – check those out if you haven't. Those types of games are freaking awesome.

So the Palm Beach gazillionaire John Castle apparently broke his waiter's finger for bringing the bill to the table (as, reportedly, his wife requested) instead of charging it to the account.
Treating restaurant servers kindly is very, very big in my book. Once upon
a time three times, I was a restaurant server, and there are plenty of people in my life who have done that very same work.
It's harder work than you might imagine it would be, if you've never tried it. What's involved varies from restaurant to restaurant, but it's always more than taking orders and carrying plates.
In one place I worked, we cleaned, set tables, refilled condiments, prepared salads to order, garnished soups, cut bread, rolled silverware, sliced lemons, and poured certain drinks. That, and we had to watch the timing of our diners' progress, decide when to 'fire' the next course, and multi-task, prioritize, and re-prioritize endlessly.
And that's without the obligatory friendliness and small-talk. It's hard work. I wasn't particularly great at the logistical side of serving, but I enjoyed the interpersonal part of it.
Except sometimes. Because people really can be mean to the server. Sometimes it's for no reason. Sometimes it's because they're unhappy with the food, or how long the wait is.
(By the way. Most of the time? Those things are not the server's fault.)
Which is reason #2 why you should not dock your server's tip for slow service. Chances are, it's not his fault. And though it's popular to assume that tips are for rewarding good service or punishing poor service, it's not really quite fair to do this, partly because of Reason #1.
Reason #1 is this: in most states, servers earn a pittance–well below the minimum wage. Tips are their salary! Sound unfair to you, the consumer? Well, maybe it is. It would be better if servers were just paid more and restaurant prices were automatically surcharged 20%. Because here's something most non-restaurant folk don't know: the server doesn't pocket all the money that you tip! Most–no, probably all–restaurants require the tips to be split and/or shared among all the servers plus the bar (if there is one) plusthe bus-persons. 'Punishment' and 'rewards' don't really work when this is in play (as it usually is).
Beyond all this, there's the fact that servers are, well, your neighbors. Yeah, you're paying them to 'serve' you, but they are just like you: worried about their bills, worried about their kids, trying to make it through school, trying to make ends meet, trying to keep it together, feeling tired, feeling lonely, juggling a thousand things at once–you get the idea.
And so love your server as you would love yourself. Treat them as you would like to be treated. Most of the time, they want to do right by you. So do right by them!
And remember: the way someone treats a server is telling–
If you're on a date with someone who seems nice, but is a jerk to the server, they're probably a jerk.

A water bottle that glows when you should drink more water
These days, water bottles are colorful and trendy. But smart water bottles that remind you when to drink? Not many.
HidrateMe water bottle emits a glow when it senses you might be dehydrated. Former data analyst Nadya Nguyen and her team developed the smart water bottle, which uses a sensor and smartphone app to act as a friendly little hydration buddy looking out for your best health.
The free Bluetooth-syncing app tracks how much water you drink and also estimates how much you should drink based on your physiology, like height and weight, as well as your location, like elevation and humidity. And if you're a fitness fiend, it'll connect to your Fitbit or Jawbone to account for loss of water due to exercise. The team collaborated with physicians at Kansas University to help calculate this information.
The bottle has collected over $200,000 for its $35,000 Kickstarter campaign, with bottles starting at $39 and a delivery date of winter 2015.
The idea came to a sluggish and headache-y Nguyen in July 2014 while on a bus ride after volunteering for 10 hours on a day when she forgot to drink any water. "I thought I was pretty conscious about hydration, and it just reminded me how easy it is to forget when life gets busy," Nguyen tells Mashable.
Dehydration is often a forgettable and unpleasant occurrence that can range from mild to dangerous. It can cause headaches, dizziness and muscle cramps.
So Nguyen convinced a few fellow University of Minnesota alums to join her in the September 2014 Startup Weekend powered by Google For Entrepreneurs in Minneapolis, Minnesota. In 54 hours, they created a prototype using a Nalgene bottle and a sensory board attached with Nguyen's hair tie. They scored third place.
Their next step was to quit their jobs and join the three-month intensive mentorship program, Sprint Mobile Health Accelerator Program by Techstars, which aims to fund the next tech in mobile health.
Don't worry, the Tritan plastic water bottle won't become another annoying alarm clock. You choose the time intervals you prefer to drink at, such as every 30 minutes, and if the bottle notices you didn't take a sip, it'll glow as a reminder. Nguyen calls this feature "really personal," aimed at being helpful.
So while purchasing HidrateMe becomes a choice of lifestyle preference, the bottom line is remember to drink up.

Interesting that they did this Friday night, almost as though they both expected some kickback, and thought that an intervening weekend would lessen the kickback somehow.
If they were that worried about negative press, here's an idea, they could have not done it.
Some of us are running the most advanced browser our old machines can use, and the prospect of getting a new machine is further away than, say, the prospect of a new job. Thanks for caring, Google!
It seems like most people who would be affected by this will not notice, or are unable to upgrade. Neither will be encouraged to upgrade.
Imma see if I can find that old copy of Lynx.
What does google look like on that? Anybody got a recent screenshot?
Great, now my browser is passive aggressive. The march towards Sirius Cybernetics GPPs is unstoppable.
What do you think you're missing by having the 2013 (gasp!) version of the front page? Do you know how freaking annoying it is to write fallback code to support old browsers - not to mention that doing so increases the bandwidth load on each pageload for everyone? Why should google bother doing that when you get the same search results irrespective of what browser you use? In any case, irrespective of the browser you use, you can get addons that change the user-agent to whatever you want to pretend to be. Since the differences are mostly cosmetic, I don't know why you'd bother since the code might render with errors anyway as it's in a legacy browser.
I was about to say that a major segment of people using outdated browsers are employees who are not meant to browse the web at all, but those are usually stuck with whatever version of IE came with their Windows.
You're -so- right.
''Go Stick Your Head in a Pig''
I wonder what browser i would have to use to get a google front page from 2003 or so, one that still used boolean operators and did not return carefully calculated tailored personalized bubble-creating results.
Because I would absolutely downgrade an entire machine to get that back.
I know the cost of doing business when I see it.
I'm right there with you. Google would prefer me not to use that old browser? I'd prefer to get back the Google of 2003.
You know there are a HEAP of search operators now, right?
x AND y = +x +y
x OR y = x OR y
x NOT y = x -y
Plus there's tons of text operators:
wonder what browser i would have to use to get a google front page from 2003
As I mentioned above, you can get browser addons that change your user-agent. I have this one on my machine and it allows you to mimic ie6 (released in 2001). You can replicate this post topic using the addon, but it's not going to serve you a 2003 version, unfortunately.
I know the cost of doing business when I see it.
I am confused. Are you saying that supporting legacy browsers by coding for them is a cost of doing business that they should wear?
I know that I'm missing reverse image search, not least because it disappeared as I was using it. One search it worked fine; the next search the camera icon disappeared but Google kindly asked me if I wanted to do a reverse image search when I pasted in an image address; the search after that, I didn't even get that option.
What I don't follow is how it advantages Google to turn off a service that worked just fine. What needed updating on something that worked, such that they felt it was expedient to piss off poor fools like myself still living in the last decade computing-wise?
Meanwhile, if my browser will work fine just by flying a false flag, then what was the point of Google cutting support for my browser? If, on the other hand, the search won't work properly under a false flag, then what was the point of you mentioning the false flag extension?
yes. They're google. They should be capable.
And thank you for all that delicious information.
You're welcome for the 'fo.
I agree with the principle of what you're saying, but this isn't a financial or marketing decision (they're not crippling newer versions of competitors' browsers) google is in fact helping users by doing this. They do so in several ways:
Users who are using modern browsers (which should be everyone) will have faster load times as they do not have to push code to support legacy browsers. Some things, like css shadows for example, have to be coded multiple different ways to support the range of old browsers out there. All of that code is usually loaded for every visitor to the site, unless the dev has done something clever like identify the browser type and push a specific stylesheet for that particular browser. As browser tech improves they generally become more uniform as agreed standards replace ad hoc engineering workarounds.
By encouraging users to use a more modern browser they are helping patch security vulnerabilities. There are few worse things you can do for the safety and security of your machine than run old browsers for anything but testing.
You're obviously not wrong, and I agree that people could upgrade most machines easily, but… the actual highway takes all comers. The information highway ought not require a late model car.
I actually believe that if google can tailor my search results to my individual person, they can probably tailor my start page too. And if they can do the former but then make like the latter is some crazy notion… well, that would make it very clear who is the customer and who is the product… would it not?
Hm… what are your machine specs and what browser do you use?
I know that I'm missing reverse image search
Very odd that they pulled code that worked on legacy browsers, but it's likely a result of what I just replied to Acer: the code they push now to users with supported browsers is probably leaner thanks to dropping legacy support. Here's their claimed supported browsers for image search:
^Those browsers are pretty old dude. Furthermore, there's always the original reverse image search that will work anywhere: www.tineye.com
What I don't follow is how it advantages Google to turn off a service that worked just fine.
teh googs works in mysterious ways. You've clearly not seen their graveyard:
In answer to this question, and to @AcerPlatanoides one, IMO google doesn't mind positively affecting user behaviour for most users (reserving features for modern browsers in an effort to improve security overall) to the chagrin of a small number of users. The information highway should not require a late model car and I would contend it doesn't as there's always a way to make things work. They're not saying they can't do it, they're saying they've made a choice not to. We can try to divine the reason by reading tea leaves but google is notoriously stubborn with the finality of the decisions they make.
Meanwhile, if my browser will work fine just by flying a false flag, then what was the point of Google cutting support for my browser?
Because, until I told you that such a thing even existed, you probably didn't even know it was a thing. Most users don't. It happens to be part of my job, which is why I have it. If I had not told you about it your only other option is to upgrade, which is precisely google's desired outcome. They don't care which browser you use, just that it's modern.
If, on the other hand, the search won't work properly under a false flag, then what was the point of you mentioning the false flag extension?
It's impossible for me to know whether it WILL work for you, as I have mine installed on Chrome 36 and I have NFI what your setup is. All I know is that if I set the user-agent to ie6 it borks the search by image function, but if I set it to ie9 it works perfectly. Instead of snarkily questioning me why don't you install it and let us know if it works?
Thanks for the links, but I find that the quoted search string takes liberties I find annoying. I often need to find part numbers of components, very specific strings of letters & numbers, and doing a search for "ABC-123" will yield "ABC-123", "ABC123", "ABC 123", "ABC and 123", "ABC & 123", "ABC's 123's", "abc/123", "ABC…123", "ABC,123" et cetera…It just tries to be too clever. Just give me the EXACT QUOTED SEARCH STRING!
Ah, for the days when Alta Vista would search for "text1" NEAR "text2" on a page.
YW. Yes, yes doing those searches will in fact bring up what you say… that's why you need the operators
It's very simple once you get your head around them. If your desired product was specifically ABC-123 then type the following bold text into the google search box including the quotation marks: +"ABC-123"
The quotation marks mean to google: Exactly this phrase/letter combination. The reason you need the quotation marks is because the hyphen, like the underscore, is parsed as a space by google unless you include the quote marks. The plus sign means to google: must include this.
Any google engineers reading this thread would be pissing themselves with laughter at the yearning for AltaVista. Google has that operator, but it's even better. Use "AROUND(number)" - AROUND being a stand-in for NEAR and the number in the brackets being a reference to the proximity with which the words are together.
PS; hi google… don't you want to hire me as your brand ambassador?
"Here's their claimed supported browsers for image search:"
Well, they're lyin', apparently, because search by image no longer works on Safari 5.x for example. And no, it's not particularly old, unless you're one of those sorts of people who thinks anything more than twelve months previous was "a long time ago."
How about DuckDuckGo? It doesn't keep track of your previous searches, so no bubble there.
