Fresh Sugar Honey Tinted Lip Treatment
Going by the reviews online I had a feeling that the Sugar Honey lip treatment would be one of these "must haves".
The Sugar honey lip treatment (£14.50) is a tinted version of their best selling sugar lip balm (which I have had and liked in the past). It has a traditional balm texture and has a natural gloss finish.
The pigmentation is a lot more than I was expecting from a tinted lip balm, and it gives a warm dusty peach nude look.
Swatched below, two swipes on the left and blended in on the right,
It has an SPF15 and feels smooth and very moisturising. It has a strong sugary sweet scent.
I really do like this, it gives comfort, moisture and a natural "wear with anything" colour.
I bought this from the Fresh London store on Marylebone High Street, Tel: 020 7486 4100

This does look lovely, I remember seeing Beauty LookBook's post on these thinking I quite like the sound of them.ReplyDelete
I have not been to the Fresh store (I didn't know there was one so thanks for the info:) It seems to be quite near Content beauty:)
Need. This.ReplyDelete
That is all :))
Nina x
@Meeta: yes, the two shops are quite close by...I can remember the time they were stocked at Liberty's and then at Selfridges. I love their boutiques, they are minimalist but inviting, and (at least the last time I was there) they were generous with samples as well.
I have the non tinted version & I love it! :) Good to see you love it as well!ReplyDelete
Hi Meeta,ReplyDelete
Thats handy that its close to Content beauty, they have a soft red shade coming out soon as well that looks really nice going by pictures online :)
Hi Nina,
LOL, you know I think you do ;) x
Hi Vintage Makeup,
I think these must be one of their most popular items as they keep bringing out different colour versions :)
I have the plum one and love it for Fall! I need this too- I think ;O) xxReplyDelete
Hi Jeanie,ReplyDelete
I do now wonder if I should get the plum one as well, and maybe the rose one..and the new red one.. ;) x
I don't know if I just got lucky or what, but about a year ago I called that London store and asked to make a purchase over the phone - I spoke to a very friendly and helpful man who took my order and credit card details, and then shipped it to me for FREE, and included generous free samples. (I wish I could remember his name.)
I imagine if a lot of people started doing it, it wouldn't work that way anymore, but it could be worth a shot for anyone wanting to see if they can avoid that high postage cost.
I love the standard Sugar Lip Treatment, and I really enjoyed the Rosé one too.
Hi Proximity,ReplyDelete
I do wonder if you did luck out, I've placed many a phone order and the only times I got free shipping was when they had an offer on (usually if you spend over £75). I read somewhere that they would have an online site for us in the UK at the end of the year, I really hopes its true as I'm sure they would have a standard postage cost as one time I got charged over £20, I kid you not! x

3P production-preparation processes such as the press-automation project undertaken at The HON Co. plant in Cedartown, GA, focus on eliminating waste through product and process design. Lean consultants suggest that the best to tackle such projects is to involve a diverse group of people in a series of brainstorming sessions to identify and discuss alternative s to meet a specific goal, such as improving ergonomics or increasing throughput. The team should comprise designers, engineers from multiple disciplines, operators and operations managers. Typically, these projects, which start with a clean sheet of paper, result in bigger paybacks than do the incremental improvements resulting from kaizen events. The focus is on project management and waste reduction, or elimination.Once the 3P team has selected its preferred solution to the task at hand, it then works to demonstrate the flow of raw material to finished product, using diagrams and sketches. Then, as did the press-automation team at HON, it constructs a prototype to simulate the process to verify that it will operate as designed and produce the expected results. Finally, the team develops an implementation plan, complete with resource requirements and assignment of responsibilities.
RCI drives all of the innovative ideas that pour out of The HON Co.'s 600 employees, as they strive to improve safety and quality, reduce costs and improve productivity.Stamping-Press Productivity Project
The HON steel-fabrication department supplies four assembly lines in the plant, two of which manufacture vertical filing cabinets, one which makes metal desks, and a fourth line that assembles lateral files and storage cases, shelf files and bookcases. Early in 2000, an RCI project had a HON work team focused on improving the safety and productivity of its stamping-press operations within the steel-fabrication department. There, presses hem 0.022-in.-thick mild-steel blanks for drawer fronts, in two sizes to accommodate letter- or legal-size files. Hand feeding of blanks into two-station transfer dies at a production rate of 400/hr. taxed the firm's press operators, who used gripper wands to move the blanks rather than reach into the dies. The process proved safer than hand feeding to be sure, but manipulating blank after blank on the end of the wands led to ergonomics issues—carpal tunnel syndrome to be exact.
"An RCI project to improve the three press lines that hem filing-cabinet drawer-front blanks led us to investigate the use of robots to handle the blanks," recalls HON maintenance engineer Burt Coffman. Noting his skepticism at the time, Coffman says, "I didn't think there was any that this would work. But the robots we've put on those lines are unreal. Productivity is fantastic, and they don't take breaks."
A 3P (production preparation process) project proved out the robotic press-tending cell arrangement and HON brought in local robot integrator Tec Automation, Inc., Canton, GA, to manage the project. The first press robot went online late in 2000, a second in 2001, the third in 2003, and the plant will fire up its fourth press-tending robot before the end of 2009. Each robot tends two presses, one tooled for stamping legal-size drawer parts, the other for letter-size parts. Robots rides a track to access the two presses, with a hard stop and locking mechanism to secure the robot at the press. Presses are 100- and 150-ton models with 8-in. stroke to accommodate the robot end-of-arm tooling. Robots are ABB (one) and Nachi (three) six-axis pedestal-mounted units.
All in Six Seconds
"TEC designed the tool and included vacuum sensors to verify part presence," says Coffman. Each die comprises two stations—bend and crimp —so the tool carries two grippers, one to load a fresh blank in station one and the second to move blanks from station one to station two and to deposit finished parts onto a conveyor. All in 6 sec.
"We designed the cells to keep the end-of-arm tooling as simple as possible," says TEC vice president Jim Webb, "and worked closely with the tooling vendor to add automation-friendly features to the dies to achieve throughput and quality specifications. After the robot drops the blanks in the die station, actuators built into the die fine-tune blank location to ensure dimensional repeatability. We also provided a registration fixture for the pick-and-place blank destacker. After the destacker stages a blank for the robot, the fixture crowds the blank into a corner to register the datum point and locate the edges, to ensure the robot grabs the part exactly where it's supposed to.
"Originally, we had thought about designing a simpler setup where the robot would do it all," adds Webb—"destacking and press load/unload. Cycle time was an unacceptable 10 sec. So, we added pick-and-place units to destack and prestage the blanks, and takea chutes at the end of each press line."
To make its presses automation-friendly, HON added new controls and redundant PLCs, one dedicated to communicating with the robot and one to operate the press. It also added an HMI panel near the robot control panel to allow cell setup from one location.
In addition to the improvement in operator safety and ergonomics upgrade, Coffman also notes an improvement in part quality since the move to robotics.
"We've reduced our scrap rate by 95 percent," Coffman says, "because we've eliminated misfeeds or otherwise incorrect blank placement in the dies. This also has resulted in more reliable just-in-time delivery of parts to our assembly lines. Now, rather than potentially being a bottleneck to the assembly process, our press lines stay six parts ahead of the assembly lines."
All told, this editor appreciates hearing about a process-improvement opportunity that starts out focused on safety and ergonomics and winds up improving quality and productivity too. MF

Elephants in zoos are living as long as those in the wild, but their population in captivity is dwindling because it is so difficult to breed them, according to studies released Friday.
FORT WORTH, Texas − Elephants in zoos are living as long as those in the wild, but their population in captivity is dwindling because it is so difficult to breed them, according to studies released Friday.
The study of elephant life spans concluded that the average life expectancy of Asian and African elephants in captivity in North America is 45 years and 33 years, respectively. Those figures are similar for elephants in the wild, according to the study, presented Friday at the International Elephant Foundation's research symposium and published recently in Zoo Biology magazine.
Earlier studies that said captive elephants lived about 20 years on average used data only from animals that had died, said Bob Wiese, the Fort Worth Zoo's director of animal collections.
His study examined dead and living elephants, including a 77-year-old Asian and a 53-year-old African elephant in North America.
RaeLeann Smith, a spokeswoman with the animal advocacy group In Defense of Animals, accused zoos of "playing with numbers." She said elephants in the wild do not suffer from the reproductive, digestive and foot and joint problems that afflict animals in captivity.
"Our concern is that elephants are highly intelligent, social animals and zoos are unable to meet their physical and psychological needs," Smith said.
African elephants, which are threatened in the wild, weigh up to 7 tons and are up to 14 feet tall. Asian elephants, which are endangered in the wild, weigh 3 tons to 6 tons and are up to 12 feet tall.
There are up to 30,000 Asian and half a million African elephants in the wild, according to the foundation. In captivity worldwide, there are up to 16,000 Asian -- including as many as 300 in North America -- and up to 700 African elephants -- including 230 in North America.
Breeding elephants in captivity has proven difficult.
Last year, the Fort Worth zoo eagerly awaited a calf's birth to a 30-year-old Asian elephant, but the pregnant animal went into labor six months too soon. The calf was euthanized.
There have been three successful Asian elephant births so far this year in zoos accredited by the American Zoo and Aquarium Association, but there were none in the previous two years.

The Slow Death of 25-man Raiding
Take a look at these graphs, from wowtrack.org, which display where guilds are in progression. In particular, mouse-over the 25-man/10-man lines in the legend (upper-left corner) and watch the graph change.
You'll see that there's a clear difference in the shape of the demographics for 10s and 25s. 10s are shifted to the left and have a much larger proportion in the non-heroic area before sloping down. 25s, in contrast, display something close to a binomial distribution with slopes down to zero on both sides of the peak.
What this graph indicates to me is that no new 25-man guilds are forming!
Instead, the 25-man guilds appear to be the same 25-man guilds that existed at the end of the last expansion, and they are moving through the content more or less as a single wave. Note that the median 25-guild has one or two heroic modes already down, making it very likely that they are experienced guilds.
In contrast, 10s have a lot of guilds clustered on the left side of the high point, indicating that there are a lot of newer guilds there. And if you look at the numbers below, you see that there are about ten 10-man guilds for every 25-man guild.
And this makes sense, to a certain degree. Where would new 25-man guilds come from? A guild new to raiding would start raiding with their first 10 raiders. There's no need to move up to 25s. Maybe a large guild with multiple raid teams might merge some, but then you have issues where Team A is several bosses ahead of Team B, or too many raid leaders, or conflicting schedules or loot rules. Why break up three functioning teams to create one team which may or may not be successful?
But if no new 25-man raid teams are created, then the number of existing 25-man teams will slowly fall just through everyday attrition. In the normal scheme of things guilds die, and new guilds are born to replace them. That's what's happened all throughout WoW's past. But now, no new 25s are appearing to refresh the blood.
That's why I think 25-man raiding is doomed. Not because of any inherent negative quality in them, but because I just don't see where the new 25-man guilds are going to come from.
Given the path we're on, I would be surprised if 25-man raiding existed in the next expansion. The number of existing 25-man guilds will probably be less than half of what it is now, just through regular attrition.

Interesting graphs, thanks for the links.ReplyDelete
There is another way to read the graphs. I think you're right that ~zero 25-man teams are being created from scratch, but it is still possible that 25-man teams are being created by merging two or three 10-man teams. Note that this merger will probably only take place if teams are doing well!
So if a guild says "hey guys, raiding is going well, our three teams are 7/12 - lets merge and do 25-man next week" you will see exactly the pattern shown in the graph. No 25-man guild is stuck at 1/12 or 2/12... because the 25-man guilds only are born out of teams that have already progressed mastered those bosses.
I don't insist on this explanation, but it's something to keep in mind.
Obviously the additional VP are not enough.ReplyDelete
But there is a fix. All they have to do is to offer a satchel to the raid leader of 25 man raids which contains additional gold and flasks and cross faction pets and a small chance at rare raid mount.
Oh wait...
But on a more serious note, if 25 man raiding dies 10 man organized will follow soon after. 10 man raids have to be small enough to not bench to many people but still big enough to be able to run every week. This puts way to big limits on the acceptable guild/raid pool size for the average player.
I think a lot of people saw this coming when Blizzard announced the raiding model for Cataclysm (ie. 25's dropping the same loot at 10's, just more of it.) The additional complication of herding twenty-five "cats" as opposed to ten "cats" is simply not worth the effort for the average player/guild without the added benefit of superior loot.ReplyDelete
The fact of the matter is that all of us want to progress our characters. Now we may define "progress" differently, but for most that means improving your stats and performance somehow, and the way to do that is with gear. Having 25's and 10's drop the same items eliminated "stat progression" as a motivation. Yes there is still the "achievement/accomplishment" motivation, but I think what we are seeing bears out that this motivation does not interest a significant portion of the playerbase.
Why would anyone who knows 10 decent players want to raid with 10 decent players + 15 unknowns/filler?ReplyDelete
Only the diminishing pool of people who already know enough good players and can recruit more can sustain 25s.
For anyone who can't lay their hands on 30 top notch players it makes more sense to cherry pick the best 10 you can get.
25s will continue to be the slightly better option for those who are serious about progression due both to the loot difference and fight comp requirements (ie a boss where class/spec x makes the fight significantly easier will be less of a pain to deal with on 25 where you almost certainly will have at least one person with that ability.) If you're a more casual type that's not interested in flipping the heroic switch, the only reasons why you'd bother with 25s are if you just have a lot of people you want to raid with or just like running with a bigger group.ReplyDelete
Thus, 25s are dominated by hardcore basement-dwellers while 10s are dominated by casual baddies. The fact that the ratio of 10 guilds killing bosses to 25 guilds killing bosses drops off sharply at the 9/12H and 1/13H breakpoints supports this.
So I don't think we're going to see a slow bleeding out of 25-man guilds because the only reason why anyone still raids 25s is tradition. If we do, it'll probably be representative of a slow bleeding out of hardcore players in general.
If I might pimp my own tool, http://raidbots.com/ is now using all public logs from World of Logs as its data set.ReplyDelete
Specifically related to this post, you can get an idea of how many players are in each format:
The above shows DPS classes by number of times seen in the last week on heroic 25 bosses. You can jump between the various sizes and bosses to compare normal/heroic and 10/25.
I'm not sure the current charts tell a clear story aside from more people are getting kills in heroic modes. But it'll be interesting to watch this stuff when a new patch hits.
At some point I'll try to add some views that show total sample size over time to see if the numbers of folks logging to WOL changes, etc.
- Anonymous11:46 PM, April 13, 2011
Why would anyone who knows 10 decent players want to raid with 10 decent players + 15 unknowns/filler?
And a few months down the line you'll be raiding with 6-7 decent players and 3-4 unknown/fillers. Competing against the 40-50 guilds on your server to recruit. Then you'll hit the summer raiding lull...
In the 25/10 changes there are no winners. The Slow Death of Raiding is a better title.
Yeah I see the same developement there. Making a 25man run takes much more organization and in the end you'll never see a RealmFirst! since a bunch of 10 friends will be able to raid 5 days or more, will be able to keep up the same raid composition and succeed much faster.ReplyDelete
This is what is happening our realm. One 10m guild is dominating over all established 25m guids (as long as they still exist) and it's just depressing to see the RealmFirst! spams while you're still progressing on the same boss. We're a pretty stable guild but I really would understand if people said they would rather like to hunt RealmFirsts! with their 9 best friends in Firelands than struggle with attendance or disconnects in a 25m.
- Anonymous7:29 AM, April 15, 2011
I agree. We have even begun to see it on a micro scale, on our server. Most 25 man guilds are the same ones from Lich King, and we are in 10th place. However, there is a huge influx of 10 man guilds which makes our overall ranking fall to 32nd :(. To make matters worse, those who are not specifically looking for a 25 man guild will not even see our recruitment page on WoWProgress, making it harder to replace members as we lose them.ReplyDelete
- Anonymous7:21 AM, April 16, 2011
The statistics might also be reflective of the fact that 10-man guilds tend to be very unstable. It doesn't take that much to throw together 10 people, so you get a lot of guilds collapsing due to drama concerns that wouldn't happen with the kind of leadership required to build an effective 25-man team.ReplyDelete

Bob Nightengale tweets that Manny Ramirez is on his way to Cleveland and should be in the White Sox lineup tonight.
Earlier Nightengale tweeted that the Dodgers haven't decided if they want a prospect from the White Sox for Manny, meaning it'll be a straight waiver claim. Before that Nightengale tweeted that the Dodgers are trying to decide whether to take 22-year old Winston-Salem 3B Jon Gilmore, who's hitting .318/.354/.404, and pick up some of Manny's salary or take only the salary relief.
UPDATE #1: And the move is done tweets Nightengale. Peter Gammons tweets that the White Sox decided to pick up all of Manny's remaining salary ($3.8 million) and not give any prospects. Nightengale tweets that the Dodgers rejected the White Sox offer and chose salary relief.
Nightengale, also, tweets that Manny waited for the deal to be finalized before leaving for Cleveland, and won't be in time for tonight's game. He's scheduled to play in the Tuesday night game.
UPDATE #2: Here's the press release.
And here are a few more Manny to the White Sox links: BB Musings, HardballTalk, Fangraphs.

I just sent the following comment to spam:
I wish you huge obese would stop complaining and talking.
(Linkage mine.)
Because it's not good enough that you can, you know, just not read our fucking blog. We need to actually become silent.
As usual, we don't douchehound people because they piss us off; what pisses us off is otherwise smart progressive people acting fuckheaded, not dipshits being dipshits. Constitutional dipshits range from hilariously pathetic to just shrugworthy — you can't stop a scorpion from stinging, and you can't stop a person with no resources or capabilities beyond hostility from being randomly hostile. We douchehound when people clearly illustrate, usually unconsciously, some particular nasty and often unacknowledged characteristic of the brain trusts we're dealing with here.
In this case, what usually gets glossed over is this: what they object to is not what we're saying but the fact that we're talking. We don't just have the audacity to fail to live up to this guy's standards of beauty — we also have the nerve to persistently not disappear! What kind of women ARE you people? Sure, I could go somewhere else and not have to deal with scary scary critical thought, but I'd still know that somewhere, women were flapping their gums! FAT women! OBESE WOMEN are MAKING NOISES! LANGUAGE NOISES! SOMEWHERE! Oh why won't they simply be quiet? Can't you please shut up and restore order to my world?
The flip side of this, of course, is that you can rankle the hell out of these kinds of guys just by continuing to operate in the world as though you were real people and not just big fat walking vaginas. If you're worried about being too inarticulate, too inexpert a speaker or writer, too much of an imperfect ambassador for fat, remember that some folks find it plenty subversive that you're daring to speak at all. You don't even have to talk about fat; just be a fat woman talking. That oughta get their goats.

Cheat Sheet War Room is a web application which will be used to create fantasy sports cheat sheets online using drag and drop functionality. Users will be able to rank players based on various positions (such as quarterback, running back, etc), then dynamically generate a printable sheet which can be used at their fantasy draft.
Initially, the application will be limited to fantasy football, but additional sports will be added over the course of 2008. The community will also allow users to compare, share, and debate player rankings.
- The logo can include football references since this will be the first sport implemented, but it should allow for the addition of other sport references in the future (for instance, if the logo includes a football, it should be easily modified to either add a basketball or replace the football with a basketball if the user switches sports.)
- If the logo does not include a sport reference, then it could possibly convey the application's use, portraying a sheet whose items can be dragged around
- Another idea would be to combine the ideas of sports and war, possibly a tank with sports references on the sides? Who knows.Any ideas would be welcome but I thought I'd throw a few out there.
If you wish you can view a prototype of the layout, but I can adjust the banner to any logo size.
The color scheme can be seen here.

text: (Reuters) - The younger brother of country music superstar Randy Travis was hit with more charges on Thursday stemming from his arrest earlier in the week on suspicion of making and distributing methamphetamine from his home in North Carolina, authorities said. David Brownlow Traywick, 50, was charged with possessing methamphetamine precursors, storing controlled substances and possessing drug paraphernalia. Those charges followed felony trafficking and conspiracy charges earlier in the week after police found a small manufacturing operation in his Marshville home during a search on Tuesday evening, said Captain Ronnie Whitaker of the Union County Sheriff's Office. "It was more like a one-pot meth lab, like something some of these folks do in cars driving down the road," Whitaker said. "But it's still dangerous." Officers were investigating a tip that Traywick, who was already facing a separate methamphetamine charge at the time of his arrest on Tuesday, was cooking meth in the home, Whitaker said. Marshville, where the six Traywick children were raised, including singer Travis, is about an hour southeast of Charlotte, N.C. Traywick's wife, Jessica, and two other women were arrested on similar charges on Tuesday evening, Whitaker said. The arrests come as Travis recovers in a Plano, Texas, hospital from brain surgery following a stroke and life-threatening heart condition. Traywick's attorney could not be reached for immediate comment. Drug trafficking charges in North Carolina carry minimum mandatory sentences. Depending on the amount allegedly being trafficked, sentences for meth trafficking could be anywhere from three to 18 years. Traywick and his wife remained in jail on Thursday in lieu of $500,000 bond each. Travis, 54, who has won numerous Grammy Awards and Country Music Awards, is no stranger to his own substance-related legal issues. Earlier this year, the singer pleaded guilty and received probation on a drunken driving arrest that stemmed from a 2012 incident in which he crashed his car into a construction zone.

New Zealand 22-27 France, Carisbrook, June 13
France claim famous victory
June 11, 2009
New Zealand's Isaac Ross and France's Fulgence Ouedraogo compete for a lineout ball at Carisbrook

France ended 15 years of heartache on New Zealand soil with victory against the All Blacks in Dunedin.
It was just their fourth win since their first visit in 1961 and came 20 months after France bundled the same opponents out of the World Cup in Cardiff.
The French showed no mercy against an inexperienced New Zealand side shorn of their leading stars.
As in 1994, when they last tasted success in New Zealand, France will now have the opportunity to push on for a series win when the teams head to Wellington for the second and final Test next weekend.
In the build-up to the clash at Carisbrook, All Blacks coach Graham Henry had talked about the match being a learning experience for his young charges as the All Blacks were missing the expereience of Richie McCaw, Daniel Carter, Ali Williams, Rodney So'oialo, Conrad Smith, Sitiveni Sivivatu and a host of others.
French coach Marc Lievremont has encouraged his players to take a more attacking approach after the conservative years of Bernard Laporte, and their endeavours brought them tries from Francois Trinh-Duc and Williams Servat.
Full-back Maxime Medard scored an interception try nine minutes from the end which had appeared to give them a comfortable 10-point margin but a late try from Ma'a Nonu, following a first-half effort from Liam Messam, ensured a tense finish.
The early points came from the boots of France's debutant scrum-half Julien Dupuy and Stephen Donald who exchanged early penalties before fly-half Trinh-Duc charged over for the game's first try, converted by Dupuy.
Trinh-Duc fired a drop-goal attempt well wide in the 26th minute, but two minutes later hooker Servat was burrowing his way over, and Dupuy again kicked the conversion.
Donald narrowed the deficit to 17-6 with his second penalty and soon afterwards Messam dived over in the corner for his first international try, after being fed a pass by Cory Jane just before half-time to bring the All Blacks back into the game, going into the break 11-17 down.
Two more Donald penalties locked the scores up at 17-17 midway through the second half.
Dupuy missed a penalty when Neemia Tialata was penalised for taking down the scrum, but then found his range to edge the French ahead again.
Medard's 60-metre race to dive under the posts effectively sealed the famous victory, before Nonu's late score in the left corner.

GRIFFIN, Ga. — Giant machines are tearing down the old bleachery, another reminder to Chuck Smith that this old mill town doesn"t make much anymore.
Just about everyone he knows was employed at one point making, folding or bleaching towels, until the mills started to close down in the 1990s and 2000s and family members lost their jobs. Like most of this town"s residents, Smith can name all the old mills in a slow Georgia drawl.
"There was the Thomaston mill that was here, and the Dundee mill, and the Highland mill, but they tore that one down just like they did this one," he said, watching a bulldozer push piles of metal around what used to be a factory for bleaching towels. "These mills used to employ all the people in this city."
Recently, the town had a reason to be optimistic. Retail behemoth Wal-Mart announced that it will spend an additional $50 billion buying U.S.-made goods over the next 10 years. It cited 1888 Mills, which runs the last mill left in Griffin, as one company that would benefit from this pledge.
Wal-Mart will sell 1888"s Made Here towels, manufactured in Georgia, in 600 stores this spring and in another 600 later this year, which enables the company to add manufacturing jobs.
The retailer"s effort will help businesses and "give them the nudge they need" to bring manufacturing back to the United States, Wal-Mart U.S. Chief Executive Bill Simon said in announcing the initiative. It"s part of a much-heralded trend of "onshoring," in which companies including Apple (AAPL), Lenovo, Otis Elevator and General Electric have said that growing logistics and labor costs overseas have motivated them to move some manufacturing back to the United States.
But if Griffin is any example, Wal-Mart"s much-lauded pledge isn"t likely to do much to turn around a decades-long manufacturing decline here or in the rest of the country.
That"s because manufacturing has changed dramatically since it left American shores, replacing workers with machines and reducing the number of jobs that people could get right out of high school. And as much as companies pledge they"re moving manufacturing back to the United States, they"re mostly moving just small parts of their larger global operations, to be closer to U.S. markets.
"People talk about manufacturing being a big source of job growth. It"s going to grow, but it"s not going to be a big source of total employment," said Tom Runiewicz, principal for the industry practices group at IHS Global Insight. "It"s just a drop in the bucket."
1888 Mills, for instance, will add just 35 jobs because of the initiative — better than nothing, but a pittance in a town of 23,000. The company will still make 90 percent of its goods in overseas factories.
"We don"t envision the entire industry going back to the United States — low-cost Asian manufacturing will still be the base for volume," said Jonathan Simon, the CEO of 1888 Mills. "But for just-in-time service, U.S. manufacturing does make sense."
Some 400 miles away, in North Carolina, computer giant Lenovo is doing the same thing. In October the company announced plans to open a manufacturing plant in North Carolina to make specialty personal computers for the U.S. market. The initiative will create 115 jobs, 15 of which are engineering positions. But the company also is expanding research centers in Japan and China.
"It"s a relatively small-volume facility. It"s not going to produce millions of units," said Mark Stanton, Lenovo"s director of supply chain communications.
The United States lost 6.3 million manufacturing jobs between January 1990 and the industry"s low point in January 2010, a 36 percent decline, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Since that low point, the industry has added nearly 500,000 jobs, an impressive number, but one that barely begins to offset the millions of losses.
A walk through the spacious 1888 factory in Griffin shows why job gains have been slow, despite some onshoring. Machines spin threads of cotton into yarn, a process once done by hand; they weave the yarn into thick rolls of fabric, cut the fabric into towels and sew the hems. Where a whole factory was once needed to bleach and color the towels, a Rube Goldberg-like machine does that work with minimal labor; another machine dries the towels.
"It"s all automated," Douglas Tingle, founder of 1888 Mills, said on a tour of the factory. "Some of this is the latest technology advancements."
That automation is part of the reason that although labor costs are higher in the United States than in other countries, it can make sense to make towels and other products here. But there are other reasons as well. If 1888 needs to make changes to towels, it can get the finished product to Wal-Mart more quickly from Griffin than it could from China. The rising price of oil is increasing shipping costs, and again could provide some cost savings for locally manufactured products.
"One of the things you might see if production coming back here, but not with as many jobs as used to be the case," said Jared Bernstein, a senior fellow for the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities and former chief economist for Vice President Joe Biden.

Tom Brady returns to practice after injury scare, could play Friday
Tom Brady may play in the Patriots' preseason game on Friday. (John Biever/SI)
Tom Brady had the Patriots and their fans on edge Wednesday, as he exited practice early with a knee injury. But he was back on the field today and may even play Friday in his team's preseason game with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, according to the NFL Network's Albert Breer.
The Patriots were conducting a joint practice with the Buccaneers when offensive tackle Nate Solder, while trying to block Adrian Clayborn, fell back and collided with Brady, who immediately grabbed for his left knee. That's the same knee in which Brady suffered a torn ACL back in 2008.
Brady dodged a bullet this time around. Multiple outlets, including ESPN, NFL.com and CBS Boston, reported that an MRI on Brady's knee came back clean Wednesday night, and that the QB was day-to-day. Turns out, Brady did not even need that cautious injury designation.
Brady is five years removed from that infamous ACL tear he suffered at the onset of the 2008 season, when the Chiefs' Bernard Pollard lunged at him on a tackle attempt. That injury occurred in Week 1 of the season, and Brady sat out the remainder of the year.
That memory no doubt was fresh in Brady's mind when he crumpled to the turf Wednesday. Video of Brady's practice mishap surfaced thanks to
Patriots fan Chad Kopcak, who captured it from the stands:
The MMQB's Greg Bedard, on the scene for the Patriots' joint practice with Tampa Bay, provided more details as the situation unfolded:
It goes without saying that an injury to Brady would have been pretty close to a doomsday scenario for the Patriots. They did manage to go 11-5 during that 2008 season, with Matt Cassel at quarterback, though they missed out on the playoffs despite tying for the AFC East title with Miami.
The current backup on the Patriots' roster is Ryan Mallett, the Patriots' third-round pick in the 2011 draft. He's seen only mop-up action during the regular season since joining New England. Also present on the depth chart, of course, is Tim Tebow, who has some experience starting in the NFL. New England has kept him at quarterback, as opposed to moving him to tight end for example, though the early returns have been mixed at best.

The Museum für Byzantinische Kunst houses a first-rate collection of late Antique and Byzantine artworks and articles from everyday life that is unique in Germany. The focus of the collection is on art of the Western Roman and Byzantine Empires dating from the third to the fifteenth century. It also includes many post-Byzantine icons and craftwork objects.
Almost all the regions of the ancient Mediterranean world are represented in the collection. There are objects from Rome and Italy, from Istanbul (the Byzantine city of Constantinople) and Turkey, from Greece and the Balkans, from Egypt, Nubia, Ethiopia and North Africa, from the countries of the Near and Middle East, and from Russia; in other words, all the areas encompassed by the Western and Eastern Roman Empires and the states which fell heir to the culture of Byzantium.
Within this broad spectrum, four main aspects define the Berlin collection's distinctive profile. Late Antique Roman sarcophagi and sarcophagi fragments offer a panorama of early Christian iconography from the capital of the Western Roman Empire. Rich holdings of figurative and ornamental sculpture from the Eastern Roman Empire allow the stylistic variety and development of this art form to be studied to a degree and depth that is rivalled only by the Archaeological Museum in Istanbul. Precious ivory carvings and mosaic icons document the high technical and artistic standard of Byzantine court art. Finally, everyday objects from Egypt give insights into ordinary life, while liturgical accoutrements bear witness to the worship practices of the early Christian church. Some of these objects are rare excavated finds of organic material, such as wood or fabric, which owe their preservation to Egypt's hot and dry desert climate.

Nuclear Stress Test
A nuclear stress test, also known as Myoview, is performed for the purpose of diagnosing coronary artery disease. This test assesses blood flow to various portions of the heart muscle at rest and during exercise. During the test a tracer, called Tetrafosanin, is injected into the patient's bloodstream The tracer will accumulate in the parts of the heart muscle that have good blood flow, however if a coronary arteries is blocked, or partially blocked, due to a narrowing, not as much of the tracer will collect in the muscle. Using Tetrafosanin increases the accuracy of the stress test in diagnosing coronary artery disease.
During this procedure, the patient lies on the examination table, while a gamma-ray camera moves around the chest area to take pictures of the heart. The stress test begins one hour after the first set of pictures has been taken. The technician places small disks, called electrodes, on the patient's chest; these electrodes are attached to wires (or leads) that are connected to an electrocardiogram (ECG) machine to record heart activity during the test. The patient may then be asked either to exercise on the treadmill, causing the arteries to open up and deliver more blood, or be given (through a vein in the arm) a medication called Persantine that will dilate the coronary arteries to produce an effect similar to exercise. A doctor will supervise the exercise or the Persantine part of the procedure, while the technologist takes more pictures. The tetrafosanin tracer is then administered a few minutes later through the same vein when the maximum level of exercise is attained. The parts of the heart muscle that do not have an adequate blood supply will pick up the tracer very slowly or not at all. The test is completed when the final set of pictures has been taken.
The scans created by the gamma camera can detect the Tetrafosanin, thus enabling a doctor to locate the areas of the heart muscle that are not receiving enough blood supply, or areas of the heart that are permanently damaged from a heart attack.
Patients are advised not to eat any foods or drinks containing caffeine or nicotine before and during the procedure so as not to obscure the pictures.
This test takes approximately 4 to 5 hours to complete.
Special Note:
The radiation exposure from the Tetrafosanin tracer used during this test is minimal and the doses are safe

In March, Australian TV show Today Tonight did a story on a supposed meat glue scandal. Transglutaminase, known as Activa in the culinary world, is a blood-clotting enzyme being used to "glue" small scraps of meat into what looks like prime cuts to sell for a high price. Pork, lamb, fish and chicken are all being used in combination with meat glue to create these high-priced cuts, and apparently they're hard to tell apart from the genuine thing.
[Video not showing up? Watch it here]
So what's the big problem, aside from the fact that you are paying top dollar for a faux product? If you cook your meat rare, you may have a higher chance of getting food poisoning; however, as long as sanitary measures are kept this shouldn't be an issue.
What's the best way to stay away from meat glue and get a nice fresh cut? Know the source. Eat at restaurants that buy local sourced meats and purchase your own from your local rancher—be familiar his animal-raising practices (grass-fed and finished, hormone/steroid/antibiotic-free, etc) and arrange to tour their facility. Farmers markets are a great place to start your search.

The event was held in association with Eventia (The Events Industry Association) and took place at the world famous Barbican Hall, home to the London Symphony Orchestra. The evening provided an opportunity for buyers and organisers to experience Orchestrate! first hand.
This unique exercise uses the symphony orchestra as a metaphor for the workplace, allowing non-musicians access to real instruments, a conductor and an especially composed piece of music.
I would just like to say how enjoyable the showcase was at the Barbican last night. It was a really thrilling experience to be part of an exciting showcase. I am a musician but thought the way in which you brought a disparate group of people together, with virtually no musical experience, to perform that one piece in such a short space of time was fantastic. I will certainly consider this type of event when planning future team building events within BT.Judith Weekes, Business Support Manager, BT
The evening was an overwhelming success with the team behind Orchestrate! fully demonstrating its application as a powerful tool to engage delegates and bring inspirational company values to life.Izania Downie, Executive Director, Eventia
