It's worrying that so many female motorists are in the dark over some of the most common dashboard symbols.

Although the most common symbols found on a dashboard conform to international symbols, the layout might be very different .... ignoring an unfamiliar warning light -- even if the car seems to be performing normally -- could cost you thousands.

A company's BI platform is the cake and the dashboard is the icing on the cake. What BI does is the investigation beyond the original presentation, and the BI community recognizes that they are the information foundation for dashboards.

There is nothing more uncommon than common sense.

If you put a meter on your dashboard that showed you how much it was costing you per mile, I think most people would be shocked.

I see it for what is is, now. It is a house built on ashes. Ashes of the life Granddad shared with Gran, ashes of the maple from which the tire swing flew, ashes of the old Victorian house with the porch and the hammock. The new house is built on the grave of all the trophies and symbols of the family: the New Yorker cartoons, the taxidermy, the embroidered pillows, the family portraits.
