After spending time in Germany back in December to pick back up on our progress of learning how to ski, we decided to head back to Austria in January for a week-long trip. We started off slow on the small slope in town but by the end of the week, we were taking the cable car up into the mountains. We are still at the beginning of our journey on skis but are feeling good about the progress we made this season. Now the countdown is on for next winter!
For Christmas this year, we decided to head to the Alps to see if we still had our love of skiing in us. Basing ourselves in Mittenwald, we hopped between the small ski area in town and across the border to Seefeld in Austria. It was a relaxing, refreshing, and energizing way to spend time together as the year came to a close. Between wandering around in the fresh mountain air and getting up into the mountains for some skiing, it made for the perfect holiday.
The Nice post from our first visit covers a lot, so we will only note things in this post that we didn’t do last time. Our home this time around was this stylish Airbnb on Rue du Marché.
We came to Nice primarily for beach time, so we set up camp at beach club Opéra Plage for most of our only full day. Between dips in the sea and naps in the sun, we ate lunch (caprese salad) and made friends with a very sociable Corgi (we named him Benoît). Sadly, our last swim of the day was also our last swim of the summer.
With summer coming to a close, we wanted to have one last long weekend of sun and sea. Having visited Nice in 2015, it seemed a fitting place to host us, as we could focus on relaxing over sightseeing. That said, one regret from our visit a few years ago was not taking a day trip to Monaco. So with our Nice Airbnb check-in not until the late afternoon on our first day, we transferred directly from the airport to Monaco (using the 110 Express bus) to spend a few hours in the city-state.
It is not often that we return to places in our travels but when we decided to book a trip to spend time with Britt's family, we thought Dubrovnik would be the perfect spot to start our vacation together. Though we were there during a busier time and with Dubrovnik's popularity only growing each year, the city was still as beautiful as ever. With spots to swim—off the town or by the beach—and plenty of streets to get lost in while exploring, we were happy to show a place that we loved to our loved ones. It will be a trip we all remember forever!
After four days in Dubrovnik, we picked up a car and set off for Korčula. We broke up the drive with a stop in Ston, a small town at the base of Croatia’s Pelješac Peninsula famous for its defensive walls that crawl up the surrounding hills. Unfortunately we didn’t have time to climb the walls, but we strolled the town and grabbed lunch at Stagnum (spaghetti Bolognese, cheese pizza).
This summer brought us to Croatia for the fourth time in as many years, noteworthy this time for three reasons: (1) we were returning to a favorite spot (Dubrovnik, the focus of this post), (2) our visit happened to coincide with Croatia’s run to the World Cup final, and (3), most important of all, we were travelling with Britt’s parents and sister!
For the second part of our nine day trip in Northern Italy, we made our way to Lake Como. After stopping in Limone Sul Garda along the way to get our first taste of the Italian lake life, we arrived in our home base of Varenna on Lake Como. Hiking up into the lake-side mountains and hopping around the coastal towns via the ferry, made for a peaceful and connected trip. And, we can't speak highly enough of Varenna. The small town offered us a serene setting and a quiet escape to come back to each day. Lake Como was everything we thought it would be and more!
Our time in the Dolomites kicked off our nine day trip to Northern Italy. Escaping to the mountains has become more important to us with each year we continue to live in a city. It is always a welcomed and needed—to slow down, unwind, and reflect. We enjoyed exploring a few of the towns—Kastelruth and Brixen—in between hiking up around the Seiser Alm. The rolling hills and wild flowers of the high alpine meadow added to the beauty of the landscape with the rock formations and mountains that makes this area famous. All together, it felt like the perfect June adventure. You can't seem to go wrong with Italy!
With an afternoon to kill before our flight out of Milan and having recently watched and appreciated the setting of Call Me By Your Name, we decided to visit the city of Crema. We hadn’t heard of the city before the film, and after visiting we were surprised to find such limited tourism-related information about the place (it doesn’t even have a WikiVoyage page!).
To get ourselves in the lake life groove on our way from the Dolomites to Lake Como, we stopped at Limone Sul Garda on Lake Garda. The town is quite popular, but most visitors stick to the lakefront. After strolling the lakeside promenade and watching the boats bob in the waves in the busy old port, we escaped the crowds by walking into the hills. We took a breath (and enjoyed the views) with visits to Chiesa di San Rocco and La Limonaia del Castel (where we learned about the town’s namesake). Lunch at quiet Al Veccio Fontec (ravioli with sage and butter, tiramisu) was relaxing and included what may have been the best tiramisu we’ve ever tasted!
Over the last few summers, we have really appreciated time in the Alps to reconnect with nature, breathe fresh air, and hike. This time around we shipped off to the Austrian-flavored province of South Tyrol in Italy; South Tyrol was previously part of Austria but annexed by Italy in the aftermath of WWI. (Note that the area is bi—and in some areas, tri—lingual. Most place names have German and Italian versions. We will mostly refer to the German names.) The Dolomites are a relatively unknown and inexpensive corner of the Alps, popular mostly with Italians, Austrians, and Germans and served as our home base for the first four nights of our trip.
When a good friend’s wedding brought us to New Orleans, we knew we had to extend the trip and visit one of America’s most unique cities. Britt was in the wedding, so we had only bits of time here and there to do our own thing, but over the course of 5 days we got a good glimpse of the Big Easy.

after four days in dubrovnik, we picked up a car and set off for korčula. we broke up the drive with a stop in ston, a small town at the base of croatia’s pelješac peninsula famous for its defensive walls that crawl up the surrounding hills. unfortunately we didn’t have time to climb the walls, but we strolled the town and grabbed lunch at stagnum (spaghetti bolognese, cheese pizza).
this summer brought us to croatia for the fourth time in as many years, noteworthy this time for three reasons: (1) we were returning to a favorite spot (dubrovnik, the focus of this post), (2) our visit happened to coincide with croatia’s run to the world cup final, and (3), most important of all, we were travelling with britt’s parents and sister!
for the second part of our nine day trip in northern italy, we made our way to lake como. after stopping in limone sul garda along the way to get our first taste of the italian lake life, we arrived in our home base of varenna on lake como. hiking up into the lake-side mountains and hopping around the coastal towns via the ferry, made for a peaceful and connected trip. and, we can't speak highly enough of varenna. the small town offered us a serene setting and a quiet escape to come back to each day. lake como was everything we thought it would be and more!
our time in the dolomites kicked off our nine day trip to northern italy. escaping to the mountains has become more important to us with each year we continue to live in a city. it is always a welcomed and needed—to slow down, unwind, and reflect. we enjoyed exploring a few of the towns—kastelruth and brixen—in between hiking up around the seiser alm. the rolling hills and wild flowers of the high alpine meadow added to the beauty of the landscape with the rock formations and mountains that makes this area famous. all together, it felt like the perfect june adventure. you can't seem to go wrong with italy!
with an afternoon to kill before our flight out of milan and having recently watched and appreciated the setting of call me by your name, we decided to visit the city of crema. we hadn’t heard of the city before the film, and after visiting we were surprised to find such limited tourism-related information about the place (it doesn’t even have a wikivoyage page!).
to get ourselves in the lake life groove on our way from the dolomites to lake como, we stopped at limone sul garda on lake garda. the town is quite popular, but most visitors stick to the lakefront. after strolling the lakeside promenade and watching the boats bob in the waves in the busy old port, we escaped the crowds by walking into the hills. we took a breath (and enjoyed the views) with visits to chiesa di san rocco and la limonaia del castel (where we learned about the town’s namesake). lunch at quiet al veccio fontec (ravioli with sage and butter, tiramisu) was relaxing and included what may have been the best tiramisu we’ve ever tasted!
over the last few summers, we have really appreciated time in the alps to reconnect with nature, breathe fresh air, and hike. this time around we shipped off to the austrian-flavored province of south tyrol in italy; south tyrol was previously part of austria but annexed by italy in the aftermath of wwi. (note that the area is bi—and in some areas, tri—lingual. most place names have german and italian versions. we will mostly refer to the german names.) the dolomites are a relatively unknown and inexpensive corner of the alps, popular mostly with italians, austrians, and germans and served as our home base for the first four nights of our trip.
when a good friend’s wedding brought us to new orleans, we knew we had to extend the trip and visit one of america’s most unique cities. britt was in the wedding, so we had only bits of time here and there to do our own thing, but over the course of 5 days we got a good glimpse of the big easy.

Much to my friend and her husband's embarrassment, they found to their horror that 'Irreversible' is not particularly suitable dinner viewing. An intriguing film that I'd like to finish watching. It contains some shocking scenes and is filmed with shots and sound to disorient and disturb as you see in reverse order the events that lead up to the final/first bizarre, gruesome scene. This was replaced after much blushing with a Chinese soap opera, the acting and effects of which made 'Monkey' look like Palm d'Or winning material. With Chinese subtitles I just about managed to conclude that I wouldn't be hiring this one myself.
Further film news is that Kim Ki Duk managed two out of three great films. Unfortunately (IMHO) The Coastguard is simply clunky in almost all respects though with a story line with some potential (damning with faint praise).
In a further feat of reverse engineering, at a local hip-hop club the Chinese students have managed to turn themselves with remarkable precision into mini-50 Cents and Xzibits. Hip-hop is by no means my music of choice but it's the closest club to the local bar where they have live music on a Friday night and has a lively atmosphere.
Finally managed to track down a couple more books and though I'm enjoying Anna Karenina, I've been looking for something else for a while. I've been wanting to read a Nikos Kazantzakis (The Fratricides) and found a book called Enormous Changes at the Last Minute by Grace Paley which has some rave reviews on the back. If anyone has read either and can comment I'd be interested in your opinions. The Kazantzakis was his last novel and is a cross-over between his religious and the epic Greek novels so am looking forward to reading it.
I'm painfully aware that in my one-sided quest to read novels from around the world (one-sided in that I don't bother to learn the languages as I do it), most of the books that I read are in translation. Not being fluent in any other languages, I don't know how much I lose through my laziness though I am aware that I was originally put of reading Homer as the first copy I tried was in an atrocious translation. I've since found translations that almost certainly didn't give me the sense of rhythm of the language but did allow me to read the story with enjoyment. I would like, when I have a spare five minutes, to relearn Russian and reread some of the novels I've enjoyed in bastardised form.
Anyway, again I must return to my learning of Chinese characters. I find it really difficult to motivate myself to rote-learn as I find that this is not the way to gain an understanding of physics, I'm having to use bits of my brain that I haven't used for a long time.
I too have had a viewing of Irreversable. I'd definitely recommend you watch it through to the end but watching it as about as pleasant as watching a car crash. I had to fast forward the scene in the underpass as it's not really that nice.

Directly challenging the prevailing interpretation, Corey Beals explores the ideas of twentieth-century philosopher Emmanuel Levinas's concept of love, love's relation to wisdom, and how love makes the Other visible to us. Distinguishing love from other types of wisdom, Beals argues that Levinas's "wisdom of love" is a real possibility, one which grants priority to ethics over ontology.
Corey Beals is Assistant Professor of Philosophy and Religion at George Fox University.
This lucid and accessible interpretation of Levinas' thought is a splendid gift to newcomer and old-timer alike. Taking as his keys Levinas's definition of philosophy as 'the wisdom of love in the service of love' and his use of the ancient tale of the ring of Gyges, Beals helps us see that this philosophy of radical responsibility is more demanding than we would like to admit but not so excessive that we can dismiss it as hyperbole.
This volume succeeds in relating phenomenality to the ethics of service. Service makes itself visible in the practical orientation towards the neighbour, a service which originates in a summons from the other. The work is clearly set out, well-written and footnoted. The author is in command of the subject, and this offers a further reading of the relation between love, service, and visibility.
The author sees and quite clearly presents the limitations of the major alternative reading in the secondary literature, the tiresome but oft repeated Derridean-deconstructive appropriation of Levinas. Beals understands the all important priority Levinas gives to ethics over ontology, and thankfully is not grinding some ideological ax. His Levinas is, basically, in my opinion, Levinas.

The Advertising Standards Authority has said that it 'would investigate' findings from British newspaper, The Daily Mail, which claims it has found evidence that top YouTubers (including Zoe Sugg and Tanya Burr) have made 'hundreds of thousands' of pounds through their viewers, without the viewers knowing. Even more are being investigated.
The claims centre on 'affiliate links'; a system employed by Zoe and many other YouTubers. When a YouTuber mentions a product in a video, they will often link that product for their viewers in the description of that video. When a viewer clicks that link and purchases said product, the YouTuber will receive some commission from the product's makers - for having got their viewer to click on the link.
After being investigated, Zoella is cited as apparently earning 'up to 18% commission on each item sold' via her description box.
The Daily Mail claims that YouTubers did not make it clear enough to their viewers that clicking on links would make the YouTubers any money by avoiding using phrases such as #spon or #ad, which are now synonymous with influencers. They claim that making money in this way without publicly declaring it violates advertising laws in the UK, on the basis that discussing a product and then making money from referring people to said product is (they claim) roughly the same as simply just advertising that product.
Zoe and Tanya's management company Gleam rebuffed this claim, stating that "all of the videos are entirely editorial, made independently by the clients themselves without any external guidance".
What do you think of the situation? Do you think YouTubers should be clearer when using affiliate links? Let us know in the comments below, or on our Facebook page.

When you need a little salty snack just before dinner or just after ice cream - seriously, there is nothing I crave more after ice cream than a salty crispy chip - there is nothing like chips and salsa. But sometimes you want something a little more exciting than white corn tortilla chips and red salsa.
For those days I'm a huge fan of Trader Joe's Organic Stone Ground Blue Corn Tortilla Chips (whew, that's a mouthful) with some Frontera Tomatillo salsa. I already went on my Frontera rant the other day - this Mexican restaurant makes O'Hare tolerable - and I think I've mentioned my love for TJ's in the past. But the two together are a match made in heaven.
The tortilla chips look and are way healthier than normal chips - full of sprouted amaranth (oh you're asking me what it is? Wikipedia says it's "a cosmopolitan genus of annual or short-lived perennial plants" so THERE), quinoa and chia seeds. Normally reading a list of ingredients like that would be a bit of a turn-off for someone who runs from super healthy foods, but these chips are salty and thick with a nice blue color so you feel like you're eating something fancy and exciting.
Alone or with normal salsa these chips are fine, but not earth-shattering. The Frontera tomatillo salsa has a beautiful bright green color with little pieces of tomatillo. Normally I'm not a fan of chunks (ugh that word is worse to me than "moist") in salsa, but the tomatillo bits are totally inoffensive and have a sweet taste with some heat behind them. The chips and salsa together here result in a substantial snack with solid, lightly salted chips that are complemented by the tang and zip of the salsa. You start eating them for the sweet and salty factor, and all of a sudden you're hunting down water because there's more heat in there than you expected. Probably about 2 fire emoji's worth.
One of the best parts about this particular gluten free match is that you won't walk away with that bloated feeling I usually have after gorging on chips and salsa midday. The chips have very little sodium and only enough salt for a good taste, and with all those other healthy ingredients you'll fulfill a craving and without feeling like you ate something unhealthy.
What's your favorite gluten free snack when you're craving something salty? Any other outside-the-box chip and salsa combos I should check out?

In all the talk of cloud computing, Cliqr Technologies CEO Gaurav Manglik says there’s one area of enterprise technology that’s been sitting out the transition — business applications. The cloud has led to an explosion of new apps, but (to pick two random examples) chip design and medical imaging apps are still running on old-fashioned servers.
Naturally, that’s a problem that Manglik is trying to solve with Cliqr, which is coming out of stealth mode today. The company has raised a seed round of just under $1 million from Google Ventures and Foundation Capital, and it’s raising a Series A now.
Cliqr is supposed to take the headache out of moving these business apps onto the cloud. Manglik says that as business apps are doing more and more computation on more and more data, they’re straining against the resources of on-premise servers. On the cloud, those enterprises could scale their computing resources as needed, but there are still obstacles, like the complexity and cost of the migration.
Manglik makes it sound like there are already plenty of businesses interested in Cliqr’s technology, but I also wondered about the company’s long-term prospects. After all, it’s focused on a specific transition, so will it still be relevant in a few years? Manglik says yes, because there are other advantages to Cliqr’s approach. For one thing, applications are now “unhooked from infrastructure,” you can use the service to move from cloud to cloud. Do pricing changes make you want to move your app from Amazon to Rackspace? With Cliqr, you should be able to switch with a click.

In case you missed it, Walmart made a beauty box available this fall. The box is filled with samples from popular brands carried by the store. The box itself is free. You just pay the $5 shipping.
My winter box arrived today. Let’s take a peek.
Pond’s Rejuveness Anti-Wrinkle Cream – You have to enter your birthday when signing up for the Walmart Beauty Box. As a result, I think Walmart assumes I need anti-wrinkle products. I received several in my last box, too. For the record, I don’t. That’s unfortunate because this is the largest sample in the box.
Olay Regenerist Luminous Tone Perfecting Moisturizer – I will take this however! I love skin brightening products.
Nivea Cocoa Butter – This is a foil sample. There are always a few in Walmart boxes. I don’t think you can complain however with this being a $5 box.
Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Lotion – We use this product already, but you won’t find me complaining. The sample size is perfect for my purse.
Pond’s Wet Cleansing Towlettes – I’m a facial wipes hoarder. Thank you, Walmart.
Still really happy with this cheap beauty box. I believe you can subscribe at any time and receive the current season. Get it here.
Did you get the winter Walmart Beauty Box? What did yours contain?

olay regenerist luminous tone perfecting moisturizer – i will take this however! i love skin brightening products.
nivea cocoa butter – this is a foil sample. there are always a few in walmart boxes. i don’t think you can complain however with this being a $5 box.
aveeno daily moisturizing lotion – we use this product already, but you won’t find me complaining. the sample size is perfect for my purse.
pond’s wet cleansing towlettes – i’m a facial wipes hoarder. thank you, walmart.
still really happy with this cheap beauty box. i believe you can subscribe at any time and receive the current season. get it here.
did you get the winter walmart beauty box? what did yours contain?

This is a biography of cringing, compassion, and somebody’s-got-to-do-it resourcefulness, but with a breezy heft of fabrication built in. It’s so singular that it’s almost irresistible.
Hoarder situations like that, suicides, undiscovered deaths, and accidents are business-as-usual for Sandra Pankhurst, 60-something owner of Specialized Trauma Cleaning (STC) in Australia. But as author Sarah Krasnostein learned when she befriended her, Pankhurst extends to those clients compassion, and nothing less.

You can make O-6 in any DCO program. What’s different?
Uhm, I'm not sure if you follow promotion stats, but promoting up in some designators is easier than others.
I do not follow all designators through all the wickets nor calculate the effective throughput rate for each designator over time to find the percentage of LT’s who end up making CAPT, then compare across designators.
I’ve also only met one Navy SSO. He was an ENS in the USNR and 20+ year O-6 U.S. Merchant Marine Officer with more experience driving big gray floaty things than most SWO’s. So I don’t know the gouge on Navy SSO promotions.
Huh? Was he an Ensign in the USNR and a merchant marine Captain? There is really no such thing as an ‘O-6 US Merchant Marine Officer’ with one rare exception.
There are plenty of SSO’s in the USNR but they usually are in their own units and rarely go outside them, I know a little more than the average reservist because I MOB’d with a few and I worked with one for a year.
I’ve been told (by an O-5, Cutterman, USCG-Ret.) that the Coast Guard doesn’t do URL/RL/SC the same way the USN does, and any USCG officer can hold command at sea. Anyone have clarity on this?
That's my understanding. There was a JAG Coastie who got his LLM during my first year of law school and he had previously commanded a cutter. He said that he could bounce between JAG and more URL type billets, but career timing is a consideration. He also didn't pickup JAG until further into his career. Im sure they aren't giving any old JAG with little sea time command of a cutter.
The commander of the entity I was at for a while was a Coastie who was a SWO/Cutterman and a JAG, he and several others were SWO/Intel O's who did one tour at sea and their next on shore doing their other job. Not sure the breadth of jobs available but there seemed to be plenty, the only folks who seemed to not have to do this were the aviators.
Was he an Ensign in the USNR and a merchant marine Captain?
Affirmative. He captained MSC ships.
Didn't know about a SSO DCO program.
On a related note, guys who go through the SSOP (college) can request to go active or something along those lines and essentially commission like NROTC/Academy guys and pick up a flight school spot and stuff. Good deal if you wanted to get a MT degree/not subject yourself to tier 1 pain and commission.
I got the feeling that this is because their Academy and OCS grads, unless selected for aviation, have to do an initial tour either on a cutter or in sector ops (prevention or response) then they can specialize in intel, hr, etc. I wonder if folks who enter one of those specialties via DCO would be hindered from taking a sea/ops tour because they didn't have that ensign tour.
Naw, I'm good. By the time it gets implemented, it will be a non-issue for me.
I agree with what Fieldrat stated.
Posting on AW while you’re also logged in the IWIREP? That’s like Jedi level.
It's all about the cause, right?
This has been nagging me for the past couple of days.
I feel like bringing folks in at higher pay (not rank) OK, but it's all about implementation.
Specialized Warrant (W-1) with incentive pay, and stalled promotion, same as new Cyber Warrant program for IONs.
LDO with Instant LTJG and regular promotion to LT. No further promotion unless you off-ramp at 8 years of service.
I think either of these is a decent starting point for managing the (skills, money, experience) triangle.
I don’t disagree but I am pretty sure the IWC LDO program is gone or going away. No more 6835’s (Intel LDO) - I went to DCOIC with the last one.
I hear ya. Here's the challanges i'm facing. It took almost 3 years to achieve full TS/SCI adjudication and now there are additional requirements being forced upon reserve units for accounts and visiting the NIOC's. With these delays, i'll be putting on O3 before I can even go to my NIOC to qualify.
Big Navy needs to address these parts first before they can even talk about bringing in more specialized folks. I can certainly sympathize with those who leave after their 3 years.
It's an issue across all the Nioc units, both active and reserve. I've seen JO's promote and burn through their entire billet without setting foot on site.
All I can suggest is to have your unit SSO constantly ping the active duty SSO for updates. There are other levers as well, PM me.

Tihar Jail had started the intensive counselling services with the help of a team of doctors from AIIMS and 60 others from the Mental Health Foundation (MHF), an NGO.
Tihar Jail, the country’s largest and the most populated prison complex, has witnessed just one case of suicide between May 2018 and April 2019. Jail officials have attributed the reduction in suicide rates to the programme on mental health that was launched in April last year. In 2016 and 17, the jail had reported seven and eight suicides, respectively.
Prison officials said the focus on mental health — identifying depressed prisoners and then counselling them — has also resulted in less number of clashes among jail inmates. The officials will present a report to the Delhi High Court and the state government on April 16, highlighting the positive impact of the one-year programme.
The prisons officials said that since they started the project, the number of violence cases has reduced by 15-20%. The officers said Tihar is the second prison after the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections in the US to follow this approach. In 2012-13, there were at least 15 suicides across Tihar. The officials said there has been only one suicide after the programme was started.
“Even one case is too many for us,” the prison’s director general, Ajay Kashyap, said. “Our teams counsel every prisoner after identifying their psychological needs and ensure that they are not neglected. Our focus is on the mental health of prisoners. Our teams are working round the clock to ensure that no inmate takes their own life,” he added.
Explaining the process, Kashyap said that the counselling team used a questionnaire to identify depressed prisoners. The questionnaire is based on guidelines of the World Health Organization.
“Tihar is the second prison in the world to focus on mental health. The Pennsylvania Department of Corrections had adopted this and it gave good results,” Kashyap said.

Die-hard McCartney fans whose record collections aren’t already jammed with his solo and Wings projects may want to consider this two-album set featuring the biggest hits (but not necessarily best songs) of the “cutest” Beatle.
When McCartney is in prime songwriting form he can still churn out tunes that are nearly up to Beatles quality. Such tracks on All the Best are “Maybe I’m Amazed”, “My Love”, “Band on the Run”, and “Another Day”.
Unfortunately, when Paul gets wimpy, there are few wimpier–as you can hear on “Let ‘Em In”, “With a Little Luck”, and “Silly Love Songs”. S0mewhere in between his best and worst are the collaborations with Stevie Wonder (“Ebony and Ivory”) and Michael Jackson (“Say Say Say”).
This record would have come a lot closer to living up to its name if there were more tracks from his best albums–Band on the Run and Venus and Mars. It wouldn’t hurt to have tossed that rockin’ gem of a single, “Junior’s Farm”, on here either.

Import from Freshbooks, Harvest or WP-Invoice.
The last big feature for version 1 of Sprout Invoices is the ability to import data from external invoicing services, including Harvest, Freshbooks, or WP-Invoice 1. If you have your data in one of these systems you can import all of your clients, contacts, estimates, invoices, and payments into Sprout Invoices; test it out on your own personal demo site. This allows you to immediately start the invoicing workflow on your own WordPress site.
Below you’ll see both importers in action. Depending on how many records the import process could be seconds, if you’re like us and have years of data on one of these sheltered services the process could take longer. In the examples below you will see how fast hundreds of records are processed in minutes.
Here is the Freshbooks importer working on hundreds of clients we created for our tests.
Here is the Harvest importer working on over a thousand records. This is the personal data that we’ve collected over the last 4+ years.
Note: We didn’t provide a clip for WP-Invoices because it’s rather boring. In our tests the import process needed to be slowed down because it was running too fast and it didn’t look like anything was imported, which is a pretty awesome condition.
What you won’t see in those clips is how well the data fits within Sprout Invoices. We’re not just importing names and subjects, not even close. We’ve mapped just about every data point from these services to Sprout Invoices, in the case where data doesn’t fit we’ve imported it for you anyway for future use. This really does mean that every line item will be imported, all payments will be applied to the correct invoice and clients will not only be created but assigned to their appropriate estimates, invoices and payments.
We didn’t build a basic importer to jumpstart the process of using Sprout Invoices; we built an importer to move from another platform without any friction or regrets, an importer we’ve personally used at Sprout Venture to import years of very important data, resulting in us able to close an account at Harvest.

Congratulations to Sabrina and Harrison, respectively: the first two to reach the end!
This is a web riddle series similar to Oddpawn and Notpron Web riddles are logic puzzles, in which you figure out a password to reach the next level. You can stay here and read about how and why it was made, learn more about how to play, or just jump right in.
The Riddles Without Vitae is my most recent and most extensive riddle series. I learned about the existance of web riddles by stumbling upon notpron, which I fell in love with. Sadly, I did not reacht the end, but I also found Oddpawn. After having a stab at both, I looked for more but didn't find anything to write home about. I decided that I had to join the ranks and create my own, and thus began working on my own riddles. My riddles are a gift to the world of Web Riddling, and I hope that many people out there enjoy them.
This riddle series is constantly evolving. I'm changing riddles to make them better, adding more on, and creating new features. The future of RWV depends on the users: the more users I have the more content the riddles will have. Right now there are 28 riddles. I'm also working on some other riddle series, but those may never see the light of day.

It’s been really cold since June and it’s not going to let up until sometime in September or October and so we are in for more coolness. While it would be fun to wear dresses on days when it’s not freezing, jeans are all you need when it is raining why? Comfort and warmth anyone… We need warmth but we also need something that is quite comfortable and this is where jeans come in. They are mostly made up of layer’s and layers of threaded cotton and so they provide a lot of warmth because of the texture and thickness.
There are several ways to style your jeans and we’ve proved that in the guide book above. Now all you need to do is implement this in real time and you would be just fine.

That ‘on the side’ mechanic cannot be real. Did you by any chance notice a halo or a pair of wings?
Haha!! Believe it or not, it’s actually been a little fun too!! And yes that mechanic was definitely sent from heaven. Thanks for reading!
Oh, by the way, the ‘difference between’ was my kind of giggle!
