![]() While Squarespace 7.0 had the ability to add some fun animation effects to your image blocks, 7.1 has taken that a step further, allowing you to add animations universally throughout your website (and to each block). You can now control the way that portfolios are displayed with a bunch of different options for laying out your portfolio gallery on your page too!Īlthough this can still be achieved in 7.0, the setup is a little more intuitive, organized and flexible in 7.1 vs. ![]() This is a neat improvement from 7.0 as portfolio pages are a new feature in Squarespace 7.1. One thing we’ve been a big fan of though, is that we’re able to easily switch between font color choices depending on our background color using the “theme sections”, where we’d have to add a bit more custom code to make it happen in 7.0. Although we do see an improvement with the Site Style settings, we still think there is work to be done in this area, as it’s not as easy to navigate as 7.0 and can get a little confusing at times. Squarespace has made advancements on the Site Style Settings design with the 7.1 launch, as it’s now more organized, rather than 7.0 having one Site Styles page to apply settings to the entire site universally. We love how easy it is to designate a certain height and width to each section! 7.0’s design targets website changes more universally, where as 7.1 is a little more specific to each section, which does provide a lot more flexibility. With 7.1, you do have much more control as to what you can change in each individual page section. With 7.1, one single page can now be broken down into multiple sections, which for large websites, really helps to keep things organized. ![]() On Squarespace 7.1, on the contrary, each template all has the same functionality, which makes things really easy overall!Ī lot has changed from 7.0 to 7.1 when it comes to the Builder Dashboard, but with that, of course, comes pro’s and con’s between the two which we will touch on in our next section.Ī benefit with 7.1 is that we no longer need to have Index pages with multiple separate pages within an Index page. For example, for all of our 7.0 website templates, we use the BRINE template family, as it’s the most flexible to edit and customize. On Squarespace 7.0, there are a wide range of website templates to choose from, all with different underlying functionality. Although both platforms are equally as awesome, there are quite a few differences worth noting between the two, which may affect your decision making when deciding on the best platform for your website. ![]() ![]() ![]() Canva and branding coach brandwithease uses this layout on her Instagram feed to alternate between images and quotes.

Half the folks in the water turned their attention toward one of the six cabanas that ring the oversize tub. In that moment, a murmur swept across the Jacuzzi. Then, just as quickly, Karl and Karen pulled away. Laura laughed nervously, not repelled, just unsure what to make of all this Rob looked on in quiet, bemused amazement. Karen planted soft kisses on Laura's ears and the back of her neck while Karl kissed her shoulders, then continued toward her clavicle. Instantly, Karen and Karl sandwiched Laura between them. With genial frankness, she asked Laura, “Mind if I kiss your neck?” “We have a way of greeting people,” Karen explained. A big woman with a kind face and sweet disposition hustled over, her large breasts decorated with gold nipple rings that matched the ones in Karl's ears. Welcome!” He pointed out a woman across the tub. “Aww, don't mind me,” said Karl, landing a paw on Rob's shoulder. He had the vibe of the world's most amiable polar bear. ![]() Just then, a large round man in his mid-50s with a jovial smile and graying hair splashed over and introduced himself as Karl from Colorado. Rob turned to his wife, took a gander at the profusion of flesh and laughed: “Whoa. ![]() It was their second day here, and they seemed perhaps even more weirded out by the scene than I was. Sipping cocktails from plastic cups, Rob and Laura told me it was their first visit to a so-called lifestyle resort. She was topless but wore a pair of bikini bottoms as she scanned the scrum of naked bodies soaking before us, 43 by my count, including mine. (I've changed the names and identifying details of the hotel guests.) He was chilling-half submerged and totally nude-on the Jacuzzi's steps.Īt his side stood his pretty wife, Laura. Within a few minutes, I found myself deep in conversation with a handsome airline pilot and father of three from rural Wisconsin, a man I'll call Rob.

Since I (or my 10yo) usually make a double batch, they each got three, much more than they get if I had merely opened a can. 25 Homemade Biscuit Recipes to Make From Scratch. My kids love these biscuits something fierce. Making your own biscuits from scratch is clearly the better deal, especially when you take into consideration the better quality of ingredients. The full batch of 12 biscuits cost $1.23 or about 10 cents a piece. My ingredients costs broke down like this: Sale price plus coupons gets your price point much lower if you want to buy the prepared kind. The consensus is that you can get 8 biscuits for about $2.68 when not on sale. It’s been a while since I bought the refrigerated biscuits in a can, so I had to do some homework to find out. However, Amy says that her trick is the folding. I have always thought that the trick to giving these biscuits their flaky layers was the fact that you sift the flour twice. It’s proven to have some great recipes in it. ![]() I found this recipe in the The New Doubleday Cookbook that my sister bought me as a wedding present 20 years ago. If you have six children, I recommend using a food processor. You can use a pastry blender, two knives held together, or a fork, but the food processor makes biscuits happen in less than half the time. To speed up the process, I use my food processor, one of my three top time-saving gadgets. Such is the case with these flaky buttermilk biscuits. Their rewards, however, are usually worth it. Sure, the trail mix is a no-brainer, but other items take some time to make or leave a mess in their wake. That’s why food manufacturers make the big bucks producing them. (Yes, I know, sales plus a coupon gets you a better price, but still, it’s junk.)Īs I mentioned early in this series, convenience foods are not always convenient to make. On the other hand, the ingredients list is pretty atrocious and the regular price is fairly high for what you get. Speaking of entertainment, I loved smacking those cans against the side of the kitchen counter to get them to open. They are easy to make, fun to eat, and provide hours of holiday entertainment. Mix the butter and sugar in a large bowl with a wooden spoon, then add the egg yolk and vanilla extract and briefly beat to combine. I have to admit, the canned refrigerated biscuits is a brilliant idea. ![]() ![]() Use the flat side and swipe across the top to ensure that you have a flat surface with the ingredient. ![]() Just a little tip for you – when you measure out dry ingredients have a butter knife close by. This is what sugar looks like in a dry measuring cup. If you don’t have enough liquid from oil and water your baking will not rise and will be too dense and dry. The liquid creates the steam with the baking powder and makes a cake rise. Like I said, this can make a huge difference. So here you are only getting about 2/3 cup liquid instead of 1 cup. I took the dry measuring cup and filled it up four times and poured them into this liquid measuring cup as I went. This is the closest to the rim I could get without it spilling all over the place.Īnd here ladies and gentlemen is where you can actually SEE the difference between the two. I did not put the water from the liquid measuring cup into this. Here is 1/4 cup of water measured in a DRY measuring cup. This looks right, yes? That is because this is how you are supposed to measure liquids. I measured it first in this measuring cup. To show you the big picture here I did an experiment to show how big of a difference it makes. Too much sugar can create a crisp, dry, breakable cake. ![]() That is a HUGE difference when it comes to baking terms. If it is confectioners sugar ( powder sugar) it is 4.5 ounces. A dry measuring cup is specific to dry ingredients such as flour and sugar – a cup of flour is not 8 ounces. A liquid measuring cup like the one below measures 1 cup or 8 FLUID ounces of liquid. So I told the kids they had to stop jumping around because they were going to make it fall, but low and behold that cake stayed flat. I thought maybe my kids are jumping and making it fall. She still continues to make her cakes this way. It was dense and it was definitely not the best cake ever. Needless to say, after she added the oil and water the cake stayed flat. Obviously you don’t have to measure an egg in a measuring cup, but anything that needs to be measured is going in the dry ingredient cup. She used (still uses) a dry measuring cup for the oil and water. (Rookie mistake!) And she did the opposite. I thought you could use that glass measuring cup for everything. The first time I watched her make a cake, I was not in dietetics yet so I had no IDEA what the difference between a liquid measuring cup and a dry measuring cup was. I’ve watched it with my own eyes because I thought that it just wasn’t possible. The one person that I think of in particular that complains that her cakes NEVER rise is who I want to talk about. Actually, I have a few friends that cannot bake. ![]() ![]() ![]() Supports Outlook 2000, 2002, 2003, 2007, 2010, 20 (32 and 64bit).Į lets you generate customized Outlook email messages from a text template (either plain text or for formatting a Word DOCX or HTML file) and data in a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet with multiple recipients in the To, CC and BCC fields.

Out on the road, those seemingly minor changes actually make an impact on the experience. A laminated windshield is standard, as it has been since 2018. Revised motor mounts quell vibrations from the carryover turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder, and for 2022, the Technology package gets acoustic laminated glass on the front doors, while the Advance adds acoustic rear-door glass as well. ![]() The 2022 Acura RDX also gets improved sound deadening, with more noise insulation in key areas like the wheel arches and cargo area, as well as thicker carpeting throughout. The only noteworthy change to the driving experience is revised tuning for the Advance model’s Adaptive Damper System, skewing further toward comfort or sporty driving, depending on the driver’s tastes. The base and Technology packages offer all-wheel drive for $2,200, while the Advance and PMC Edition get it standard. The carryover turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-four still makes 272 horsepower and 280 pound-feet, with a 10-speed automatic gearbox sending power to the front wheels. A USB-C charging port now appears in the center console, and built-in Amazon Alexa helps the RDX integrate with smart home devices and shopping lists. Acura has made wireless charging standard on the Technology and Advance packages, and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard across the board. Inside, the changes are even more subtle, with identical design hiding a few key technology additions. Around back, models without the A-Spec pack get bright-finished rectangular exhaust outlets, while our tester’s round pipes carry over from 2021. Acura also claims that the Diamond Pentagon grille is wider, with a thinner and more sophisticated bezel. The front bumper receives the most obvious alteration, with a simpler lower air intake and MDX-aping vertical air curtains instead of the outgoing model’s crumpled-paper appearance. We traditionally refer to midcycle updates as “facelifts,” but the new RDX looks so much like the old one that it’s more like collagen injection than cosmetic surgery. ![]() |
