Dynamic Recovery Policies for Time-Critical Supply Chains under Conditions of Ripple Effect Dmitry Ivanov, Boris Sokolov, Inna Solovyeva et al.
We consider time critical supply chains in the Australia dairy industry and re-covery policies in the presence of the ripple effect. Ripple effect is the impact of a dis-ruption on supply chain economic performance and disruption-based scope of changes needed in the supply structures and parameters to preserve the resilience. First, we de-scribe the ripple effect in general and one example of the ripple effect in the dairy supply chain in Australia. Second, we present a model for reactive recovery policies in the dairy supply chain under conditions of the ripple effect and exemplify them on a simulation example. The results of this study can be used in future for comparing proactive and re-active approaches to tackling the ripple effect from resilience and flexibility views.» Lire plus
Simulation-based Single versus Dual Sourcing Analysis in the Supply Chain with Consideration of Capacity Disruptions, Big Data and Demand Patterns Dmitry Ivanov
Sourcing strategy analysis in the settings of supply chain flexibility in regard to single vs dual sourcing has been a well explored area over the last two decades. In recent years, single vs dual sourcing analy-sis has been increasingly introduced in supply chain disruption management. Since most of the deci-sion-support models for supply chain sourcing strategy adaptation in the case of disruptions presume real-time information and coordination, the issues of Big Data and business intelligence needs to be included into the consideration. A supply chain simulation model with consideration of capacity dis-ruption and Big Data along with experimental results are presented. Based on both literature analysis and modelling example, managerial insights are derived. A set of sensitivity experiments allows to illustrate the model's behaviour. The analysis suggest recommendation on using single sourcing, ca-pacity flexibility, and dual sourcing for different combinations of demand and inventory patterns. The paper is concluded by summarizing the most important insights and outlining future research agenda.» Lire plus
Simulation-based Ripple Effect Modelling in the Supply Chain Dmitry Ivanov
In light of low-frequency/high-impact disruptions, the ripple effect has recently been intro-duced into academic literature on supply chain management. The ripple effect in the supply chain results from disruption propagation from the initial disruption point to the supply, pro-duction and distribution networks. While optimization modelling dominates this research field, the potential of simulation modelling still remains under-explored. The objective of this study is to reveal research gaps that can be closed with the help of simulation modelling.» Lire plus
Agent-based Analysis of Picker Blocking in Manual Order Picking Systems: Effects of Routing Combinations on Throughput Time Ralf Elbert, Torsten Franzke et al
Order picking is one of the most labor- and time-consuming processes in supply chains. Improving the performance of order picking is thus a frequently researched topic. Due to high cost pressure for warehouse managers the space in storage areas has to be used efficiently. Hence narrow-aisle warehouses where order pickers cannot pass as well as several order pickers working in the same area are common. This leads to congestion which is in this context referred to as picker blocking. This paper employs an agent-based simulation approach to investigate the effects of picker blocking in manual order picking systems with different combinations of routing policies for three order pickers in a rectangular warehouse with narrow-aisles.» Lire plus

If you want fun have a look at Cylon Linux Chema.
I am always disappointed in the Bootsplashes on Ubuntu and other Linux releases to be Honest.ReplyDelete
When you first load your OS the bootsplash seems to operate correctly. As soon as you load your NVIDIA or ATI Video drivers it all turns into a real mess. Video resolution is ruined on boot, and half the time I am greeted with the usual text boot messages as Linux starts its different services.
I have tried on so many occasions to fix this issues but to no avail so bootsplashes mean every little to me, cause they never work anyway!
If I were a normal user trying Ubuntu or a similar distro I would not want to see the services text information and would find it quite concerning. It certainly does not make the Operating System look very professional to the non-techie.

Cloverleaf Potato Rolls RecipeRead Reviews Be the first to add a review
5 2 1
WHAT better time to shape rolls into cloverleafs than for the celebration of St. Patrick's Day? I found this recipe in a magazine 40 years ago. These rolls are well received at fellowship dinners and are also popular at home. They are the lightest and tastiest rolls I make. -Beatrice McGrath, Norridgewock, Maine
Recommended: 20 Recipes for Homemade Rolls
- 1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
- 1/4 cup warm water (110° to 115°)
- 1 cup warm 2% milk (110° to 115°)
- 1/4 cup shortening
- 1/2 cup warm mashed potatoes
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1-1/4 teaspoons salt
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in water. Add the milk, shortening, potatoes, egg, sugar, salt and 2 cups flour. Beat until smooth. Add enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
- Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
- Punch dough down and divide in half. Divide each half into 36 pieces; shape into balls. Place three balls each into greased muffin cups. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 30 minutes.
- Bake at 400° for 12-15 minutes or until golden. Remove to wire racks. Serve warm. Yield: 2 dozen.

WEP is quite obsolete, no doubt. I'm not sure how believable it is that one is 'security auditing' in testing the hack-ability of a WEP enabled wireless network
That said, I think WEPBuster script makes a really good show-n-tell demo of just how insecure a company's wireless truly is. Popping up a few terminal windows in Linux isn't frightening to an IS engineer, but then, it 'looks' like rocket science to many VP incumbents, who remain convinced that only true eggheads pose a risk. Kiddie-scripts go a long ways to drive home just how vulnerable they really are. I'd vote to put WEPBuster in, pointing output TXT to desktop for demo.

When ASP.NET hit the street a couple of years ago, it was a real eye-opener. Microsoft's tool for creating dynamic, server side web applications introduced Web Forms, a feature with the same rapid drag and drop convenience enjoyed by Visual Basic developers, along with a method for creating XML-based web services. ASP.NET was more than an upgrade of Active Server Pages it was a quantum leap ahead.Now Microsoft has a new version of ASP.NET as part of its upcoming next generation release of the Visual Studio .NET development platform. ASP.NET 2.0 is already available in beta release, and web developers are anxious to get a good look at it. That's exactly what our new Developer's Notebook allows you to do.More than just an introduction to ASP.NET 2.0, this practical guide acquaints you with all of the new features through nearly 50 hands-on projects. Each one places emphasis on changes in the new release that can increase productivity, simplify programming tasks, and help you add functionality to your applications. For example, ASP.NET 2.0 includes master pages, themes, and skins so you can build applications with a consistent page layout and design. Other changes allow for the automatic creation of web pages for use on mobile devices, while wizards and controls allow you to perform frequent tasks (like data access) without having to write a single line of code.ASP.NET 2.0: A Developer's Notebook also includes suggestions for further experimentation, links to on-line documentation, and practical notes and warnings from the author regarding changes to the new version.The new Developer's Notebooks series from O'Reilly offers an in-depth first look at important new tools for software developers. Emphasizing example over explanation and practice over theory, they focus on learning by doing you'll get the goods straight from the masters, in an informal and code-intensive style. If you want to get up to speed on ASP.NET 2.0 before its official release, this all lab, no lecture book will get you there.

Our look is the result of reader comments, our own experimentation, and feedback from distribution channels. Distinctive covers complement our distinctive approach to technical topics, breathing personality and life into potentially dry subjects.The Developer's Notebook series is modeled on the tradition of laboratory notebooks. Laboratory notebooks are an invaluable tool for researchers and their successors.The purpose of a laboratory notebook is to facilitate the recording of data and conclusions as the work is being conducted, creating a faithful and immediate history. The notebook begins with a title page that includes the owner's name and the subject of research. The pages of the notebook should be numbered and prefaced with a table of contents. Entries must be clear, easy to read, and accurately dated; they should use simple, direct language to indicate the name of the experiment and the steps taken. Calculations are written out carefully and relevant thoughts and ideas recorded. Each experiment is introduced and summarized as it is added to the notebook. The goal is to produce comprehensive, clearly organized notes that can be used as a reference. Careful documentation creates a valuable record and provides a practical guide for future developers.Genevieve d'Entremont was the proofreader and production editor for ASP.NET 2.0: A Developer's Notebook.

I read this book and it was one of the best books i've read in a while.The author goes to the point in very easy and simple steps.Pros:1. straight to the point2. good explanations3. paragraphs are not boring4. hands-on labs are straightforward, never get lost.Cons:1. some users, when they debug a web application, are asked for a username and a password for the local server, the author didn't mention anything about this. The problem is, if you don't expect this to happen, you will get confused as of how to get pass this authorization.The book assumes previous knowlegde of ASP.NET 1.0/1.1 and Visual Studio.NET, however, I didn't have experience with ASP.NET before (i programmed with VB.NET 2003) and I had no problem following the book. (or at least a few problems that i could figure out easily, using pure logic)I would definately recommend this book to any web developer who wants to develop feature-rich websites.

News Release
Media Contact: TPWD News, email@example.com, 512-389-8030
July 8, 2008
Consumption Advisory Issued for Spotted Seatrout from Galveston Bay
AUSTIN, Texas — The Texas Department of State Health Services today advised limiting consumption of spotted seatrout (commonly called "speckled trout") and all species of catfish from Galveston Bay because of concerns about chemicals known as PCBs and dioxins. This marks the first time the state health department has issued an advisory for an inshore gamefish species from an entire major bay system.
The advisory recommends limiting consumption to no more than 8 ounces per adult per month. Women who are nursing, pregnant or who may become pregnant and children should not consume catfish or spotted seatrout from Galveston Bay.
Previously, in January 2005, DSHS issued a similar advisory for spotted seatrout from upper Galveston Bay and the Houston Ship Channel. A 1990 advisory, still in effect, applies the same limits to catfish and blue crabs from that area.
Today's advisory applies to all of Galveston Bay to the seaward end of the Galveston jetties and includes minor bays such as Chocolate Bay, East Bay, West Bay and Trinity Bay.
The new consumption limits come as the result of sampling conducted at numerous locations throughout Galveston Bay between October 2006 and May 2007.
Samples from numerous common species — including red drum (redfish), southern flounder, black drum and blue crab — were analyzed. Only spotted seatrout and gafftopsail catfish (gafftops) showed potentially harmful levels of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDDs/PCDF's or dioxins) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). Because freshwater catfish species are found in the upper reaches of the bay system and saltwater catfish have similar life histories, the advisory applies to all species of catfish.
"We've known for a long time that spotted seatrout typically don't stray far from their home bay systems. But, from our tagging studies, we also know that these fish move around within the Galveston Bay complex," said Texas Parks and Wildlife Department Coastal Fisheries Division Regional Director Lance Robinson. "Some people might wonder about fish in adjacent waters, and at this point we just don't know. The DSHS study did not include samples beyond Galveston Bay, Trinity Bay and East Bay."
Robinson said TPWD is supportive of DSHS in their attempts to locate additional funding to expand their monitoring efforts in waters adjacent to Galveston Bay and in other bay systems.
Galveston Bay is a 600-square-mile estuary on the upper Texas coast and is the seventh-largest estuary in the United States. Commercial and recreational fishing on Galveston Bay generates more than $1 billion per year, and more than half of the state's expenditures for recreational fishing go directly or indirectly to Galveston Bay. Spotted seatrout is the most-targeted gamefish species in the bay.
"This may have some impact on local fishing guides and related services," said TPWD Galveston Bay Ecosystem Leader Bill Balboa. "But catch-and-release fishing is growing in popularity, and redfish and black drum are plentiful. DSHS samples did not show dangerous levels of contaminants in those species. Other species we don't normally associate with the upper Texas coast — like gray snapper — are doing quite well here, and more and more anglers are targeting those. We even had a pretty good striped bass fishery here this past winter."
There have been no changes in size, bag or possession limits for spotted seatrout or catfish on Galveston Bay.
Since PCBs and dioxins readily accumulate in the fatty tissues of fish, Robinson recommends anglers reduce exposure to these chemicals by removing the skin, dark (reddish-color) muscle tissue and fatty portions (belly fat, side fat, and fat along the top of the back) before cooking.
DSHS recommends baking or broiling skinned, trimmed fish on a rack or grill to allow fat to drip away from the fillet. If fish are fried, the frying oil should not be reused. These cooking methods will reduce exposure to many of the most common organic chemical contaminants in fish, including PCBs and dioxins. Additional information about preparing fish for consumption can be found at the DSHS Web site and in a brochure published by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
For more information, including a list of Frequently Asked Questions, please visit the TPWD fish consumption bans and advisories Web page.

Hi guys,
I am 25 years old and looking to get in to TEFL. Iam thinking of doing the CELTA course in London and then working in the UK to gain experience before possibly working abroad. The issue I have is that I don't have a degree, and I am worried this will severely lower my chances of any employment in the UK especially. I have 3 A-levels- Drama, Art and Comm Studies. I feel I have the skills to do this work- but not neccesarilly the qualifications. How important is a degree? Any experience on finding work in the UK- i.e placements/ permanent positions? Also, where is the best place to do the course in London?
Any help much appreciated!

|1931 steve
Thank you very useful info.
Hey guys......
Since I have been posting on this board I have seen alot of questions regaurding turbs and fuel injection and the possibilities. I am going to put up a few links to some sites about turbos and some F.I. stuff. Feel free to add as many links that might help a little more than we can answer in a thread on the board.
How turbos work.
Link to help determine what turbo you have.
Link to help determine what turbo to use.
How to read and select a turbo.
Build guide for twin turbo 350.(applies to all makes)
How fuel injection works.(for those that dont know)
Also guys, alot of people stray away from TPI injection because its well known that it falls on its face around 4500rpm. Tpi is cheap and easy to get ahold of, ebay is littered with systems for $350 and under(ecm, manifolds, sensors, harness). When Tpi systems are modified they can support alot of power. All that is needed to make them animals is a little work and tunning. Many manufactures make systems(intake, runners and plenums) to help with the flow and run above 6000k easy.
I am goin to include a link here for tunning the stock ECMs to handles just about anything you want to throw at them and also a swap guide. The swap is into a 71 Camaro but it still applies to any model.
Here is the link for the swap.
Here is the link with every thing and any thing you will ever need to know about tunning the TPI Fuel Injection. Hope this helps out with some of the questions guys. Good luck and happy roddin!!

Show & Tell: National Fragrance Day
It's National Fragrance Day! (Yes, that's a real thing, I swear.)
Here at Sephora HQ, we like to call fragrance our "liquid courage," because one spritz of the right juice can make you feel like you can take on the world.
So today's installment of Show & Tell is dedicated to terrific top notes.
• What fragrance are you wearing today?
• Where do you like to apply fragrance?
• How many fragrances do you own?
• Do you change your fragrance with the seasons or do you have a signature scent?
• What fragrance family do you gravitate toward?
Warm & Spicy
Woody & Earthy
Post your answers in the comments below, then upload a photo of your fragrance stash!
Shop fragrance> http://seph.me/102Z63M
Today I am wearing Givenchy's Ange Ou Demon Le Secret, it's my second bottle of the scent!
I like to apply fragrance on the inside of my wrists, bend of the inside of my elbows, side of my neck near the underside of my ear, and behind my knees if I'm wearing shorts, a skirt, or a dress.
Gosh, to count the fragrances I own....over 15...at the bare minimum. Working in the beauty industry has really stocked me up!
I don't really go by seasons in terms of switching up scents, I just pick to suite my mood, for the past year and half I've strongly favored Issey Miyake's Floral, it's very different from other scents I have which are more gourmand/amber based scents, but once I tried it, I fell in love. I used it quite often around the time my boyfriend and I started dating and he would always compliment the scent so it gave me extra incentive to stick with it more. I'm on bottle number 3, and that's from going to the 1.7, to 3.3, to 1 oz bottles!
I generally tend to gravitate toward sweet, gourmand scents, but don't like ones that are strictly vanilla or sugary smelling. If it's a floral, I prefer either crisp scents like lily or lighter touches of rose rather than scents like sweet pea, which is just too much for me. Most of the scents I own have a rich, amber base to them. I like how warm they stay and they generally last longer.
On a side note, I'm totally guilty of sporting a few men's fragrances from time to time. I'm a lover of Gucci Guilty (hello, Chris Evans!) and Chanel's Allure.
Currently I'm wearing Diesel's Loverdose. Usually I'll change base notes of underlying scents with the seasons, but mostly I go by sunny/cloudy/special event, tend to put some on my wrists and neck, and I switch between 3 different scents. I'd have more but I'm INCREDIBLY picky. I tend to gravitate toward floral yet sweet scents, sometimes spicy if it's moderate.
My fiance's been looking at scents for himself, so far he likes Diesel's Only the Brave (he LOVES Diesel stuff), but I got him a sample of that Paco Rabanne One Million. AND OMG he put it on, and I couldn't seem to get my nose off of him XD Normally I'm pretty neutral on most men's scents, but this one is a sniffer magnet >.>
I love fragrances!
So happy to see this thread come up today
I don't have anything on today as I'm still at home and with this cold, I can't smell a thing! But my recent favorite is my Fan di Fendi which is SO light and springy.
Usually I'll spray fragrance on my neck and a spritz on each wrist, if I have on a dress or skirt I'll put a quick spritz on the backs of my knees as fragrances tend to work their way up throughout the day. I do love to change my fragrances around and while I used to stick to one or two scents only (Chanel Chance and Ralph Lauren Ralph) I might change my scent every day if I can!
I really like to wear sweet scents, almost the sugary kind but not TOO sugary! I seem to get the most compliments on those from everyone!
Here's a picture of my at home stash, just the top shelf of my perfumes since the ones on the shelf below are ridiculously disorganized! I own far too many to count so here's just a few. I'm big on Gwen Stefani & rollerballs but the Beiber perfume? My secret weapon
Hahah, @ Moregun, don't you just love it when you cuddle and it's like WHIFFFFFFF! *sigh and into dreamy land*
I do that to my b/f and I'm always "Please don't mind me and my nose, you just smell heavenly, that's all! Carry on!"
@ Diana, OMG, I've never seen the mermaid Gwen scent before! That one is so cute! What's it smell like? Or is it just the same scent with a special edition top?
@lylysa - working in the beauty industry stocks you up on everything! lol. I have more than 15 as well, but I probably rotate between 2 or 3 - Dolce & Gabbana The One, YSL Parisienne, and Victor & Rolf Flowerbomb. I might wear something lighter this spring, but those are my go-tos.
@MoreGun89 - I LOVE One Million on my bf. He sprayed it on in the store and I was hooked. Definitely a sniff magnet! I actually like the women version of the million line too.
@Diana - Sooo cute! I think it's hilarious that your secret weapon is Beiber. I'm not gonna hate.
@ Candace, Flowerbomb is def a fave! I was excited that the fragrance bag sampler had it in there! I'm almost out of the little spray. It turned a lot warmer on me which was unexpected, but I like it! It helps keep the scent going longer!
@ lylysa YES! It makes for a definitely happy lady! He's kind of the same way with me and that good ol' Jasmine scent too now XD
@candacebt I saw it on the samples for long enough that it seemed interesting, really wasn't expecting much from it, but, I think I may need to talk him into getting that one in particular >.>
@dianabt, I don't think I've seen the Gwen line before, the bottles are adorable!
I'm currently wearing Coach Poppy
I like to spray it on my wrist and then rub some from my wrist to my neck. Then one more spray to walk through.
I love sweet and floral scents.
I don't remember how many scents I own.
I still have a ton of Victoria Secret frangence to go through
Please ignore the Snooki scents lol, I just wanted the leopard print bag it came with! (smells just like LaVanila Grapefruit).
The Gwen Harajuku Lovers are no longer sold with us sadly! The Mermaid was super limited edition and smells almost like a really citrusy-sweet punch with a touch of green notes. Love it so much I'm worried what will happen when it finally runs out.
And I was taught at SOS that rubbing your wrists together breaks the top notes of the fragrances ( I think!) which causes the super delicate notes to be ruined. Although I never thought my fragrances were ruined when I did that
@ Diana, I know one of the Harajuku scents had pineapple in it and it smelled so good! The toppers are always adorable!
Hahaha, I didn't even notice the Snooki scent! What does that even smell like??? :-S
Happy National Fragrance Day! It's bittersweet that I can't share my collection with you guys. I'm moving tomorrow and my fragrances are packed away somewhere in my mess of an apartment (it's an organized person's nightmare in here). My best friend and my little sister recently helped me shave my collection in half, so I only have scents that I wear frequently. Currently my modest collection consists of:
-Lady Gaga's Fame
-Thierry Mugler Womanity
-Miss Dior
-Kat Von D Adora
-Kat Von D Saint
-The first Juicy Couture
-Prada Candy
-Armani Diamonds
-A few random body splashes. Not gonna lie I use these as fancy room spray.
Today I am wearing Aqualina's Pink Sugar. I have a smart sample lingering around. Such a warm sweet scent. I typically apply fragrances to both my wrists and neck, I try not to over spritz myself.
I do change my fragrances with the season. Usually around summer I have a tendency to wear lighter sweet scents (like Juicy and Saint). Come chillier months I usually reach for my more woody scents like Womanity or Fame. My favorites are woody and floral scents.
@ Candace Really? I guess I'll start patting now. I'll probably forget too!
• Wearing Gucci Envy today.
• I apply left/right/middle of the neck. Then if I want something extra, one spritz on the wrist and dab both wrist together then one spritz into the air and walk into it.
• I own....let's see......DKNY( PureVerbena, BeDelicious), Tokidoki (Adios, Ciao Ciao, Sandy, Siberia), Marc Jacob (DOT, Daisy), Dior J'adore, Fandi Fen Di, Gucci(Flora Fresh, Envy), Jennifer Aniston, Clean Warm Cotton, D&G Light Blue, Harajuku Lovers Jingle G. That's it I think. 16, I own 16.
• I change my fragrance according to warm/cool season, not the 4 seasons.
• What fragrance family do you gravitate toward? Clean, not super sweet, not super powdery, a bit floral and a bit woody.
@bananachox - I don't think it's a hard and fast rule. I (like Diana), can't tell if my fragrance has been ruined!
@Janinebt - I was lighweight terrified by Womanity (TM usually does super strong scents and the name is...interesting), but when I smelled it I really liked it!
@beautytester - If you like the Aniston fragrance you should try Balenciaga Florabotanica. My coworker was obsessed with the Jen Aniston fragrance for months (she would spray it on every day before she left the office), but when she found Florabotanica she added it to the rotation. I'd love to know what you think!
@Candace. Oh Aniston is not my fav, it was part of a sampler. I do remember seeing Florabotanica and gave it a spritz/sniff as I was literally running out of the store (cuz I was late), lol, don't remember the scent, just that I liked it and note to self to check it out later.
My favorite ones are J'adore, Armani Code, Tokidoki Siberia, Gucci Flora Fresh, and Chanel Chance Fresh. So, not quite sure what category those falls into.
Hi! I've been wearing Ralph Lauren's #2 of the Pony collection (pink bottle). It's a rollerball, so it's super easy to apply and it lasts a while.
-I tend to only have one fragrance at a time (although i have tons if you count all the samples I've gotten from Sephora orders).
-I tend to gravitate towards sweet and floral fragrances (but not sickly sweet like Aquolina Pink Sugar), so I've been wanting to try out Flowerbomb, La Vie est Belle (packaging is gorgeous!), and Prada's Candy.
YAYYYYY Fragrance!! I love tropical and sweet fragances (but not sickly sweet!) so I guess that falls under the fresh category? Not really sure. I'm a big fan of Escada, they always make something amazing! Right now I switched to Mariah Carey Lollypop Bling in Ribbon, perfect for spring!! I have more body sprays than perfumes and I have a picture of my perfumes in my frofile (cant seem to find it on my computer now! >_<)
@beautytester - it looks like you're in the Fresh and Floral boat, from your faves that you listed. Definitely go back and give Florabotanica another sniff, I think you'd like it!
@maltipoo - that Big Pony is great. I love Flowerbomb but Prada Candy was too sweet for me (I have a friend who loves it though). I'd be interested to know what you think!
@sephoramusthave - I love tropical lotions, especially in the summer. And Escada makes the cutest coffrets! I hope they make one with all of the summer fragrances they have out now.

Summer Loving…
April 19th, 20120
We know its tippng down outside, so we will have to try very hard to picture 'summer'. If you have hit the high street recently you will have spied a few trends which are sure to be big in the coming months; mouth-watering sorbet colours, bold florals and paisley.
It is one thing seeing these trends on the catwalk, or on our A-list celebs in fashion magazines, but you may find yourself wondering how you are going to shop with these trends in mind, as you might not fancy buying a paisley pair of trousers, or lemon coloured dress. But one way you can bring these trends into your life very easily, is through your lingerie. Luckily Bravissimo have covered the major trends and translated them to great sets, inspired by this year's spring/summer collections.
Catwalk Trends For Spring/Summer 2012
Florals are big, brave and bold, with lots of combinations of varied and clashing colours. Wear them from head to toe for a maximum impact. The fifties vintage look and seventies 'large & loud' florals are here to stay. For a gorgeous floral set with real flower power, check out the Ellie Bra by Cleo. This bra is based on the Juna shape, which we know our Bravissimo ladies love, as it creates fabulous shape and uplift. It is a half-cup, lightly padded and is available in a vivid abstract floral print of different blues, which is contrasted with gorgeous pink lace trim.
Sorbet… Some of the colours on the catwalk this spring/summer look good enough to eat. Lemon, peach, aqua, mint, and pinks feature. The way to wear them is together is try a pale pink jacket with mint trousers or a colour block geometric shift dress, in two different shades of sorbet. Take a look at our gorgeous Tango Plunge Bra by Panache. Available in tutti frutti, it is an underwired plunge, which is the perfect bra for a lower cut top. One Bravissimo customer comments that, "It is comfortable and discrete and very true to size".
Paisley… It was only a matter of time until paisley came back round again. Stella McCartney and Paul Smith both used it in their collections, it is seen on the catwalks as an all-over print. Trousers and top worn together in a pyjama style (which is not for the fainthearted) as it's a hard look to carry off. Translated to the high street, paisley works perfectly as floaty summer dress. Why not check out our striking paisley bra, the Alexa Bra by Cleo. We have had really fantastic reviews for this bra, our reviewers say "This bra is amazing, the fit, support and shape are brilliant" "Gives amazing cleavage" It is an underwired balconette and is available in a fabulous teal print. So treat yourself, if you want to bring some Boho to your bra drawer.
We have yet more new summer styles available this coming Monday. So check the website to see more like this!

Gone are the days of Woody Hayes' famed 3 yards and a cloud of dust. Gone are the days of seeing college powers such as Oklahoma and Texas running the wishbone. Teams lining up in the I-formation or the Veer seem to be on the way out as well.
The Wing-T offense might be headed down that same path, but it's not going out of style at John Hardin, which has used the offense since the program began. The Bulldogs spice it up with their mind-blowing moves, breath-taking cuts and awe-inspiring runs.
With so many teams using spread offenses, John Hardin's system has been just as explosive or electrifying as any pass-happy scheme or spread attack which wants to run the ball. The Bulldogs are averaging a staggering 319.8 yards a game, which is one of the state's top rushing attacks.
So how do the Bulldogs describe it?
"Explosive," John Hardin junior halfback Jeremy Harness said. "At any given time, one of us could break one. At any point, one of us could just go."
There are countless adjectives to describe the Bulldogs offense, but explosive might be the best. The Bulldogs have totaled more than 3,800 yards and they have gained more than 200 yards in each game.
Harness is averaging 13.2 yards a carry and senior halfback Landon Savoy is right behind at 13.1. Junior fullback Quensie Brown averages 7.3 yards an attempt.
"I think it is near the top," Savoy said when asked if this was the best John Hardin backfield. "I know it's the most explosive. You usually just see those kind of numbers on video games. Those are Madden-like numbers."
The running backs realize while they might get the credit, the offensive line has been the driving force for their success.
"Akeem (Hatchell), Pat (Crowe), Chris (Doss) and all those guys are doing a good job," Quensie Brown said. "They're the difference makers. We're making all the yards and scoring all the touchdowns, but we wouldn't have anything without them."
John Hardin's ground game has been the strength of the team since the program's inception. Prior to this season, the Bulldogs averaged more than 260 yards a game in four of the previous five years. The only exception was last season when they rushed for 234 yards a game.
John Hardin coach Mark Brown realized the rushing attack would be improved this season, but even he didn't expect to churn out these type of numbers.
"We expected to be good," Mark Brown said. "What makes it so good is the balance we have within our running game. Did I expect us to average that much? Probably not. You never know what will happen. But it doesn't surprise me that they've done it."
Mark Brown knew exactly what he had in Savoy, who is a three-year starter. Savoy, the school's all-time leading rusher and scorer, has rushed for 1,293 yards and 17 touchdowns on 99 carries.
"I think Landon's matured a lot," Mark Brown said. "One of the best runs he had the other night (against Oldham County) was a 3-yard gain on third-and-1. He stuck it up there and made sure we got the first. Earlier in his career, he might have danced around. He's been very steady. The mental aspect has really improved with him."
Harness made the move from receiver to halfback prior to the season. It's a move that has paid off as Harness has rushed for 1,315 yards and 18 touchdowns on 101 attempts.
"Jeremy's a natural runner," Mark Brown said. "I think you started to see him come into his own about midway through the year. I think it was more physical than being a receiver and he had to get used to it. Once he did, he's really improved."
Savoy has been a good learning tool for Harness, who has pumped Savoy for knowledge. The two have watched film together of past John Hardin backs and Savoy sped up Harness' learning curve.
"I think the first game it was a little bit different, but I felt more confident after that," Harness said. "Coach (Andrew) Hundley and Landon showed me backs like Matt Denham and Landon has shown me a lot. That's made it a little easier for me having him."
Quensie Brown transferred from Fort Knox to John Hardin prior to the season after his father retired from the military. He arrived at John Hardin once practice began and had to get quickly up to speed.
"It was harder for Quensie than anybody," Mark Brown said. "He had to learn all the plays while adjusting to new teammates and a new school. The fullback is a big part of our offense, but it just took him awhile to adjust. Once he caught on, he's been doing a great job."
The fullback plays an integral part of the John Hardin offense. Last season the position accounted for less than 700 yards – a season-low in recent years. But Quensie Brown has provided a spark from the spot, rushing for 702 yards and 12 touchdowns on 96 carries.
"I'm more comfortable now than ever," Quensie Brown said. "I've gotten used to it. It takes some getting used to running in the middle. It's different. It's not really my strength. I think it's my size that helps me. I always say done let the size fool you."
Mark Brown admits the offense isn't for everyone. While other backs across the state might get 25 to 30 carries each game, the Bulldog backs are putting up impressive numbers with a minimal workload. Plus, the offense demands backs block for one another which they've done without hesitation.
"We're not selfish and that's a great thing," Savoy said. "Whether it's me running or Jeremy or Quensie, we're going to block for one another. We put egos aside and all that other stuff.
"That's why I think we've done what we've done," he added. "You don't see those numbers from three backs. You might have one main person do it, but three? Two with 1,000 yards? That's impressive. It's something you only see in games where you create players."
It might be an old-fashioned offense, but it gets modern-day results.

John Hardin's ground game is averaging 318.6 yards a game. The Bulldogs ranked ninth in the state in rushing yards a game, according to the KHSAA Web site.

Macklem would be quieter Bank of Canada chief, no pushover
By Louise Egan
OTTAWA (Reuters) - The man tipped to be the next governor of Canada's central bank has the reputation of being a mild-mannered sideman to charismatic bank chief Mark Carney, but former colleagues say Tiff Macklem is a mover and shaker in his own quiet way.
As Carney prepares to leave the Bank of Canada to start his new job as head of the Bank of England on July 1, Macklem, his No. 2, has emerged as the frontrunner to succeed him.
The bank's choice of governor must be approved by Conservative Prime Minister Stephen Harper's government, which will likely look to external candidates as well, but insiders say Macklem, 51, has the knowledge and experience to do the job.
Macklem, who is making a speech in Kingston, Ontario, later on Thursday, is widely respected in academic circles, has had a stellar 25-year career at the bank and finance ministry and speaks fluent English and French, Canada's two official languages.
The most glaring difference he presents to Carney - and perhaps Macklem's biggest weakness - is his soft-spoken, cautious style, which raises doubts whether he has the street smarts to stand up to big bank CEOs and lawmakers and defend central bank actions.
Carney, known for his self-confidence and hot temper, had a now famous run-in with JPMorgan Chase Chief Executive Jamie Dimon last year over tougher new banking regulations.
"He's a milder guy, very different," said Purdy Crawford, a well-known Canadian businessman and lawyer who worked with Macklem in 2008 to restructure the Canada's collapsed $30 billion market for asset-backed commercial paper.
"Tiff is maybe not as overtly ambitious as Mark is but he's nobody's push-around... He's tough but easy, he doesn't come through like a sledgehammer," he said in a telephone interview. Continued...

Remember, this is all an answer to the statement that TDI owners can expect 45mpg combined. We can argue about the numbers all we want, but that statement wasn't accurate.

not that it matters much but does it still have a beam or independent like a gli?
oh and average for my dsg tdi is around 36 mpg for mixed city and some highway, highest highway was 48, average highway 42
Last edited by Spax MC; 10-04-2012 at 12:50 PM.
average speed for that trip I think said 69mph?
stock software.. dpf status up for debate
That was from GA to WV going through the mountains on 77 and 81, plus the hills of GA and SC on 85, just me but had the entire back filled with ezups and show supplies.
The other question is how the Jetta drives. The Toyota Hybrids are excellent. The Ford Hybrids are even better. But some other companies (Nissan, Hyundai) have really stumbled with hybrids, and you would have thought they would have done better.
Also of note: the new Mazda 6 Hybrid will be at the same--or slightly lower--price point as well, and Toyota apparently helped in development.
I have owned my TDI for 2 1/2 years with zero problems. Germany also designs and implements all the electrics and electronics in air buses. They seem to be just fine... YMMV.
You truly disappoint me.
After incessant complaints from a to z, I am now calling all of my characters "special."
as i said before i welcome any new tech that further improves current vehicles and efficiency.
i prefer TDI over Hybrid, but day might come when that might change.
but im not sure about your statement in regards to fueleconomy numbers i posted, what exactly do you think people report on when posting their average MPGs,? do you think they are all making numbers up?
o and just to be clear, i went back to Fuelly same filter, and counted all cars.
MPG 39 and under total cars = 131
MPG 40 and over total cars = 151
so seems majority do average over 40,
whatever that average number is, i hope you agree that is far exceeds EPA claims , where hybrids / gas cars tend to just hit them or come in under, thats all i leave in peace

I really don't see how VW is going to move many units of the Jetta Hybrid... If I read correctly, the customer has to order a model rather than driving it right off the lot. Next, at $24,000, what's to prevent someone from buying a Toyota Prius C, Honda CRZ, Toyota Prius 3rd gen. You will get at least 5 mpg better, and over the life of the car that adds up to a significant difference. Not to mention, I would trust a Honda/Toyota battery cell tech and powertrain much more than VW that is just now entering the Hybrid market.
I guess to a certain extent a battery is a battery and vw has the money for R&D. However, that will never beat the volume that Toyota has moved in the last ten years. This obviously gives them the upper-hand in terms of economies of scale, and just overall testing in the real world via its customers.
I tend to think of VW as the driving enthusiasts car, I don't see how this will attract the greenies when there are Toyotas getting better mileage at the same price. Now, if you go with the max spec'ed VW you can afford a Plug-in Toyota that will yield around 80+MPG. It's a tough sell, the only market I think there is to capture are the people that want a hybrid, but don't want to be stuck with the liberal douche-bag label of the stereotyped Prius owner. Just my $.02.
Prius has terrible driving dynamics. (Yes, I've driven one and hated it.)
Civic hybrid has little advantage in terms of economy and a big disadvantage in terms of performance (and price tag, and trunk space) compared to a plain ordinary Civic.
Camry current hybrid model seems to be selling OK considering the number that I see on the road. The current model vastly improves on the old one - which was unremarkable. Driving dynamics are typical Toyota ... dull as dishwater.
Hardly anyone knew the Altima hybrid existed.
The previous Accord hybrid was a high-performance hybrid - an answer to a question that nobody was asking. The same can be said for several Infiniti and Lexus hybrids. There is a new Accord hybrid just being introduced, but it's not in showrooms yet so it is too soon to see if it will sell.
The Hyundai doesn't appear to get sufficiently better real-world mileage than the plain-jane 4-cyl automatic to interest many people. (From fueleconomy.gov 33.3mpg versus 28.9mpg)
It obviously remains to be seen how VW will do with this. The two hybrids that are of interest to me, are the Jetta hybrid and the new Ford Fusion hybrid.
After incessant complaints from a to z, I am now calling all of my characters "special."
Fuelly is not a valid representative sample for a population of any given vehicle. That's like polling Stormfront to see how many people are going to vote for Obama
MemeGate 2012 - First Responder, post #2
Buy my wife's old laptop!
I would actually hypothesize that Fuelly numbers skew higher then the norm since people that track their MPG are necessarily more focused on it.

Scarcity and Resources
Scarcity is a condition that exists because human wants exceed the capacity of available resources to satisfy those wants; also a situation in which a resource has more than one valuable use. Resources are used to produce goods and services: land or natural resources, human resources (including labor and entrepreneurship), and capital.
Student volunteers will participate in an exercise in class demonstrating scarcity.
Play musical chairs with your classmates. Your teacher will explain how scarcity and resources relates to musical chairs.
Raise your hand and give examples of scarcity and resources to your teacher and classmates.
What happens to the costs of things when the resources to make the item are scarce?
Think about the seasons. Cut out some pictures of items that you find in the store in the winter, spring, summer, and fall. Bring the pictures to class and discuss with your teacher, which pictures belong in each season and why some items are scarce in different seasons.

Tomorrow I should be receiving my Asok cold cast helmet kit. I'm very excited because it's been a LONG time coming since I've wanted to do a Fett helmet. So many projects in the way and I wanted my bench clear as it's such a precise project. So glad the research that's been done here and the templates are going to be invaluable. I'm doing a ESB helmet as seen on film. Not totally sure if I'll do a layered paint or topical but we'll see. Just doing my research for now and gathering my paint list before I start buying paints. I'm a very experience mask, model, bust, and all around good painter but this is so different for me. Not to call it a paint by numbers as it's way more difficult than that of course, but I know I need to be very exact in my work...or exact as humanly possibly. When I say a long time coming, I almost started my first Fett helmet project when the Dented Helmet was first launched. So over 10 years. So I guess I've been a lurker for along time but started my real research a few weeks ago and FINALLY ordered the cold cast kit as I believe the FP shape is very nice and while I love fiberglass, I don't mind resin for a first project and cold cast is even cooler as I love the feel of cold cast. I've cold casted in bronze in the past for fine arts sculptures I've done. Not to look too far ahead but I'm kind of getting hooked a bit here and I've done many Star Wars projects in the past including lifesized Han In Carbonite, crystal focus FX lightsabers, other props, and all sorts of cool stuff for my small personal collection. I keep a journal to keep project costs, paint lists, websites, emails,local art supply dealer #s, etc. For upcoming projects I definitely am thinking of investing in slowly putting together an ESB Fett costume though next up might even be a ROTJ Fett bucket to go with the first one. I'm on a tangent and I apologize..
I posted in the decal and stencil thread here for ESB decals for the kill marks and whatever else I need but it seems the seller is busy as I didn't get a reply in thread or PM. Can anyone help me out here?
I noticed an ebay seller that has the kill mark decals with chest decals (only need kill marks though chest decals can go on car lol). I am very wary of ebay as far as Fett costume stuff goes though as unless it's being sold here on TDH, I know ebay is full of people taking advantage of hard work of makers here...especially the blatant recasters that fool people into buying from them. The seller of decals claims accuracy and they seem nice, but I know never to listen to anyone who claims accuracy as so does everyone else. When comparing to screen shots they seem fine of course.,.but size, quality, etc....I'm just needing a hand on that.
I appreciate the help in advance! I'm so excited to do a stellar job on my Fett helmet and I really have no excuse not to take my time and do my best work possible. I know I'm a great painter as I earned that right to say that after teaching myself the trade through hours of trial and error, reading, instructional videos, and even a class on sculpture and painting by super FX artist Jordu Schell the last time I visited LA. So many accuracy resources here that I know all the tools are on this forum to doing the best job I can muster.
FYI: Once I have the helmet here for sale, I will be using a Riddell/MR mini Fett helmet interior as reference and put my sculpting skills to work. I only have a MR mini clonetrooper helmet at the moment but have had the set in the past. So unless I get good interior pics online I'll probably use the trooper mini helmet interior as reference as I assume it's close and there's no accuracy to be reached here anyway. I won't be wearing the helmet other than for messing around for pictures or mirror so it's mostly going to be displayed inside my IKEA case. I plan on sculpting some neat looking interior stuff for showing off when people check out the helmet in person. Figure it will be a neat side project for days I can't work on painting helmet and it will make it feel even more real. Just a personal fun thing as I got the idea from someone here who is doing the same. I plan on just making a clay sculpture of all the parts, making a few silicone cast molds, and casting in a self-skinning polyurethane foam and painting. I'm so busy with two sons under 2 years old, a home to keep up and do repairs on, and a loving wife, but I'll the foam itself goes a long way when I buy a certain amount. Since 2-part liquid foam doesn't have the best shelf life inside the bottles it comes in, I'll cast the rest of it after I cast my personal copies and probably end up with a dozen sets or so. Will be nice a nice kit to sell or trade for when I start my costume or ROTJ Fett just so I don't have to dip into my meager collection budget my wife allows. In the past I might of just glued in the visor but since I'm doing such a detailed interior I'll definitely have to take my time bolting and mounting visor for a clean sturdy look.
So if anyone can help with the decals I'd be so appreciative. No rush as it'll be a bit before I need them but I'd like to at least have things lined up.
EDIT: Just wanted to mention that I don't currently own a printer as ours broke....but we are shopping for a new one and I'll probably go buy one tomorrow if I have time. I want one that I can easily print out templates and the like but I'm also interested in possibly just printing out my own decals eventually. I always add weird new techniques to my skill sets and figure decal making is a really cool skill to have at my disposal.

Hello all, haven't been on TDH in a while! I was wondering if anyone here was a sculptor or something of the sort because I'm looking for a ninja turtles head sculpt. I have experience with mask making and airbrush painting, so all I really need is the sculpt but I'd also be willing to work with a fully completed mask too. If all goes well I have alot more stuff I'll need commissioned after the mask (gloves, feet, etc.). I'm in no rush and I know this stuff takes time and money. If you'd be interested please send me a private message or email me directly at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Also if you know someone who may be interested in doing the work that is not from this site please let me know!
Thanks in advance!

text: I just had a jury find a man guilty of violating an HPO order. He was found guilty of driving by the front of the woman house who had the order against. She lives on side street no where near the suspect. The order says he has to stay 100 yards away from the woman and he has to stay away from her house and work place. The defence said the order didn't say how far away he had to stay from the residence. The judge over turned the guilty verdict and said that the order should've had a distance he had to stay away from the residence on it. The judge was the one who wrote the HPO order. My court is a joke!

Plant this look
A great foliage border gives a garden a rich, layered look that doesn't depend on flowers for dramatic effect. The key to success: Pick the right blend of shrubs and small trees whose leaves and branches create contrasts in color, texture, shape, and size. To make each plant stand out, set big-leafed plants beside fine-leafed ones, and spice up a mostly green palette with variegated plants that provide hits of gold, bronze, and purple.
This moisture-loving Seattle shade border hits all those notes—plus it looks good even in winter, when the woody stems of deciduous elements combine with evergreens to give it structure. Plants, arranged low to tall, grow up an incline, adding extra depth and drama.
You can copy these plant choices if you live in a cool coastal climate and have a similar shaded spot. In warmer or colder climates, make the substitutions noted.

Firenock Micro adjust AeroRest Updates
As of this morning we have every part of the Micro adjust rest in stock.
So now you can choose form 2 bow mounts, 3 side bars to fit your specific bow. I have design the original micro AeroRest base on Mathews Apex which has a much wider riser and a shallow arrow shelf. With the new narrow side bar which allow you to move 5 mm closer to the riser than the original side bar, this resolve the issue with bow like PSE shot through riser, and most Hoyt risers which which both have a much narrower profile.
The new Lower center of the bow mount allow ones to have the arrow rest much lower than what the original allows. 9 mm to be exact. So base on your bow configuration and personal preference. You now have 6 choices. Please note that the u-bracket only comes on narrow side bar, and all options comes with 3 fingers.

If you plan to remodel your home, make sure that the house, the contractor and the subcontractors have adequate insurance coverage.
Don't make the mistake of waiting until an addition or extra room is completed to increase the insurance coverage on the structure of your home. If the new addition is destroyed or damaged before insurance coverage has been increased, you may be responsible for the cost of repairing or rebuilding the addition.
Contact your insurance agent or representative before--or shortly after--construction begins in order to increase the insurance coverage on your house to an amount that reflects the higher value of the rebuilt structure.
When hiring a general contractor, find out if the contractor has workers compensation and ask to see a copy of the policy. Workers compensation pays for medical and rehabilitation expenses and covers lost wages if the workers sustain injuries on the job. Injured workers may sue you if the contractor does not have proper insurance.
In most home improvement projects, the contractor subcontracts the builders, electricians and plumbers. The workers hired may not be full-time employees of the contractor and therefore not covered under the contractor's workers compensation policy. While some independent builders, electricians and plumbers may carry their own workers compensation coverage, others may not.
You should verify the insurance coverage of the contractor and the subcontractors. If the coverage is insufficient, you may need to fill in the gaps by extending the limits of the liability portion of your homeowners policy.
If you purchase additional items, such as furniture, exercise equipment or electronics, you may need to increase the amount of insurance you have on your personal possessions. Keep receipts and add them to your home inventory.

The information on this site is general in nature. Any description of coverage is necessarily simplified. Whether a particular loss is covered depends on the specific facts and the provisions, exclusions and limits of the actual policy. Nothing on this site alters the terms or conditions of any of our policies. You should read the policy for a complete description of coverage.

Hi I have been thinking of doing a tefl course and teaching abroad now for a while. The only thing holding me back is the fact I want to be a teacher here in the uk.
I recently didn't get accepted to my teacher training here but I'm not sure if the experience I'd gain doing tefl jobs would be benefit to any future applications for teaching in uk. Plus I don't know if I will be too old for this training? I am 24 now (getting old!).
There are so many different courses available each one a diff price what course is the best value for money?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated
