The Best Pillow for A Good Nights Sleep

 Choosing the right pillow may be very vital in accomplishing restful sleep. A proper pillow will help the top and neck with out applying immoderate strain, as it conforms to the precise shape of the bed, as a result spreading the weight frivolously and uniformly alongside the vertebrae. Pillows are a constant supply of frustration for many. In addition to aggravating the neck, plenty of pillows also can have an effect on the shoulder. The shoulder ought to not be positioned at 90 tiers to the bed, due to the fact it can cause spasms inside the trapezius muscle mass.Trapezius muscle mass perform a variety of actions, including acting as a platform to elevate the cranium, which is very important to relax in the course of sleep completely. If the shoulder is located barely ahead at the mattress in the front of the mattress, assuming that the mattress can keep this role, the threat of placing stress on the trapezius and forcing the scapula (shoulder blade) to the column is decrease...

Finding a Chirp Geocache On Android

2017 Update
We've still only found the one chirp cache, they are not something we see around here.  So Datruck bought one to hide nearby.  In placing it, we were having some issues with how the Chirp app displays the cache.  We figured out that by putting the coords in the note section it's easy to bypass, but while figuring that out, I also found a new app that I think works just a little bit better. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.wolffire.chirpwolf

Both apps work pretty much the same way. Search for nearby chirps, click on the chirp cache listed, it will give you coordinates.  Quick and easy.



The chirp cache we found is called Birdy, in Spokane WA.

We had never found a chirp cache before, so while my husband got the gps ready, I did a quick search for a phone app. I found this :

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nl.wlsoft.chirp

All I had to do was open the app & choose "turn chip searching on".

Walk to the coords, and a screen popped up with the final coords.

Very fast.  Very easy.  Super simple.

Our gps didn't pick it up.  It might have if we hung around - but we didn't since my phone did it so quickly.

You can buy a chirp device to create your own chirp cache for under $25.

Geocaching Help Desk - 2.12. Beacon caches
In geocaching, a beacon is a device that transmits a wireless message, which can be used to find a geocache.
Examples of beacon devices:
  • NFC transmitter
  • Chirp™
  • WiFi router
  • Radio transmitter
If your cache has a wireless beacon, follow these guidelines:
  • Add the Wireless Beacon attribute to your cache page. Beacon cache attribute
  • List waypoints that use beacons as physical waypoints.
  • Do not state beacon brands in your cache page unless this information helps people find the cache. Make sure that your text follows our commercial guidelines.

From the "Help Center" on Geocaching.com: 
1.29. Beacon Geocaches In geocaching, a beacon is a wireless device that transmits a brief message which can be used to find a geocache. Cache owners, please observe the the following requirements: All geocaches that utilize a wireless beacon must have the "beacon" attribute (pictured above) on the geocache page. If the cache owner does not provide an alternative means of finding the geocache, it must be listed as an Mystery geocache. A beacon can be listed as a type other than Mystery if seekers can find the geocache without being able to receive the beacon's message. Intermediate waypoints using a beacon should be designated as Physical, or if entered from the waypoints page, Stage of a Multi-cache. Cache descriptions may mention NFC (Near Field Communication) or the "Chirp" (a specific beacon) only if the text is brief and does not have overtones of promotion, marketing or advertising, as per our commercial guidelines. Names of GPS companies and compatible models of GPS units are not appropriate on a geocache page. There are no plans to add a beacon geocache type. https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=127&pgid=303

The First Week-end of June 2017

Image
When I asked Dan what he wanted to do this week-end, he replied "everything", as if he hadn't been married to me for 25 years and had no idea what he would be in for.  LOL!  We SHOULD have stayed home and worked on 5 gazillion farm projects, but we decided the work could wait until Monday - we burn out if we spend too much time not making nearly enough progress on the farm, so we stretch our work days out more this year.  With all this rain, there's only so much we can do anyway. I started my Saturday with book club at the Rose Hill library.  We discussed Rogue Lawyer, which I really enjoyed.    I haven't read Grisham in a long time.  Years ago I read everything he wrote as fast as he wrote it, but then they all started to feel a bit like the same novel for awhile, so I stopped reading his books until this one was a book club selection.  This is why I love book clubs, they get me to read things I may not chose on my own.  Next month we will d...

All About Fonts & Text in Cricut Design Space

Image
Cliff Notes Version: Download your fonts from a site like Dafont.com.  They will almost always download as a .zip file Unzip them.  Use a program like WInzip or 7-Zip. Copy the OTF or TTF file to the fonts folder on your computer (for ipad users, there's an app called AnyFont for adding new fonts. ) Open Design Space, add a text box and find your font under "system fonts".  Sometimes, rarely, you will have to restart your computer for the fonts to show up. Or possibly just close the browser and open a new one. The Long, Wordy, Step By Step, Instructions: Fonts are installed on your device, not opened in Design Space. This is the most common newbie question "I downloaded fonts from Dafont, but I can't open them in Design space, what am I doing wrong?" You don't open fonts in design space.  You use fonts in design space, but only fonts that are already installed on your device.  (Or fonts that are already included in design space) If you download a font o...
