For those of us around the U.S celebrating Independence day today: we hope your beer is cold and your barbeques are hot; find some shade and enjoy the relaxing day. Then grab a lawn chair and enjoy the fireworks displays tonight!

Here at Notes from Rational Support,  your intrepid blog authors are off on holiday until Monday the 9th, but we've queued up some posts we think you'll find quite useful between now and then.... as always we welcome your comments and feedback here on the blog, through twitter, or on our Facebook posts. 

Cheers!
