Hi DenisP.
I don't use the application in question, but have you looked for a script in /root/Startup/?
I think /usr/sbin/delayedrun is used for several purposes, so it is maybe a file you should be careful about modifying, unless you know exactly what you do...

I've checked the "Startup" folder, it's not there...
As for modifying something that I don't know, I don't think there's much danger in this case.
This line of script automatically invokes the "MPDwizard", which is a script for setting up the MPD server - which is exactly what I want to avoid (i.e. I don't want it to start automatically!).
It's not like I'm disabling the automatic start of the MPD server... Wizard is a different thing, and I can start it whenever I want, by just entering "mpdwizard" on the command line.
So, if I disable its automatic start, the system still functions without any changes.

A couple of suggestions for Idolse:
I see you're "slurping" neompc and web10mpc from your site during installation, so perhaps you could add/change the following:
in neompc, when used on some smartphones, e.g. iphone, the volume slider doesn't work. I've found a patch online, and it enables you to "tap" the volume bar to change volume. A bit clumsy, but better than nothing. Here is the additional code - goes towards the bottom of the "neompc.js" file in "/var/www/neompc/lib/js":
// this addition takes care of volume slider problems on some smartphones, e.g. iPhone
ajax_control('volume', pos_to_volume(event.pageY-($('#volume_slider').outerHeight()/2)-$('#slider_container').offset().top));
// end of addition for smartphones
Also, it would be nice if the web10mpc came already set for showing the volume on the page - it is changed in "control.ini.php", in "var/www/web10mpc/include"
it says:
show_volume_controls = false
Just change it to "true"... I guess most of the people who use smartphone GUI also want to have the volume control

And, as an aside, what is the "proper" (or recommended) way to properly configure "client175" and have it start automatically when the machine is powered on?

Subject description: Client175 (mis)configured?
I think there's something amiss with client175 configuration.
Having installed client175 using mpdwizard, I was surprised that it did not start automatically (see my question above).
After some searcing, I found an entry for "client175" in /etc/init.d:
it's under "37.client175" - but its size (and contents) are the same as for "30.empcd" - which is obviously not as it should be - and is the obvious reason why "client175" is not actually autostarting.
Could someone provide a valid /etc/init.d file for client175?

Good catch - I think I ran out of steam as I was testing/integrating non-PHP clients - I actually thought I had removed client175 support at the last minute, but may have been one of the other clients I was testing. I'll need to re-install it in order to create an init script - the empcd script is the most generic of the init scripts so I use it as a template.
Regarding the to PHP clients, I can go ahead and integrate those tweaks.
Glad you figured out mpdwizard - can't remember why I used delayedrun instead of the startup folder, but seems to me startup didn't work right...

I've not listed the ir receiver but it's already connected, i've to try to dump some ir codes to see if it's working correctly, then, if the only other config to be done it's in the empcd.conf file the trick is done, but i see that this file is referring to "eventdevice /dev/input/imon_remote", got to look even at it. Maybe lirc remote codes are sent to some input device (have no idea of what are event0, event1 ecc..), i'll try to find out...
Bonalux, any luck with setting up lirc with something else besides imon?
This is my next step, and I'm stuck
I'm using a simple serial IR receiver, and the first thing that happens when I try to add "modprobe lirc_serial" is:
FATAL: Module lirc_serial not found.
So, I'd really like to know how you are getting along
I have (just barely) succeeded in making this receiver work on my other Linux box (opensuse 12.1), where it does show some results when I press buttons on the remote... but even that one wasn't easy!
And on mpdPup, I don't even know where to start...

Subject description: Lirc modules (lirc_serial)?
Again, I need a BIG favour:
could someone tell me how to compile the appropriate "lirc_serial" module and have it load properly, so that I can try to configure my homebrew serial IR receiver?
I've tested the IR serial receiver under windows, using winlirc, and it works properly, no problems at all... So, the receiver works as it should with the remote I've tested.
However, I'm at a loss when trying to set it up in mpdPup: I've tried downloading "lirc" and "lirc_modules" using Puppy package manager in X, but to no avail: I don't know what has to be done to enable "lirc_serial" module
Today I tried another approach: I downloaded the lirc source tgz package, and tried compiling it (I've loaded "devx" and "kernel" sfs packages, and have the kernel sources etc. available).
The "lirc" program itself compiled OK, but the executables were put in other directories - so I deleted old "lircd" and "lircmd" from /usr/sbin and replaced those with the newly compiled ones. I've also added newly built "lirc_serial.ko" to /lib/modules/2.6.39/misc (which already contains the original "lirc_dev.ko" which comes already installed with mpdPup - so I thought that might be the proper location).
When I try lirc with "lircd -H ?" to get the list of available modules, I get only "default" as available/supported driver.
I even tried to get the "lirc_serial" loaded at boot time, using boot manager: I get "lirc_serial" offered in the left pane as loadable module, can get it added to modules loaded at boot time, and everything seems OK. However, upon next boot, module is not there:
# lsmod | grep lir
ir_lirc_codec 2608 0
rc_core 9120 7 ir_lirc_codec,ir_sony_decoder,ir_jvc_decoder,ir_rc6_decoder,ir_rc5_decoder,imon,ir_nec_decoder
lirc_dev 7156 1 ir_lirc_codec
When I try "modprobe lirc_serial", I get the following:
FATAL: Error inserting lirc_serial (/lib/modules/2.6.39/misc/lirc_serial.ko): Device or resource busy
So, could anyone be so kind as to try to find out what I'm doing wrong - and perhaps suggest the proper locations for newly built executables and the "lirc_serial" module, and where to put it, so that it can be found and activated at boot time.... or any other way possible to get the serial IR receiver working properly? (Maybe there's another Puppy package that can be installed, which might have all the necessary stuff already - i.e. "lirc_serial" driver?)

Most of the lirc documentation on the Internet is out of date, as the project lived outside the kernel source tree until about 2 years back. When it finally did get integrated into kernel a lot of things changed which made all the old how-to information obsolete for newer kernels. Installing lirc has better odds of screwing up your installation than helping you.
I don't have step by step instructions for you, but I recommend reading through the LIRC developer's blog and article on 2.6.35+:
It's more accurate than just about anything Google will give you at random.
If I understand what's been done correctly, once it's working the rc_core drivers basically just turn your remote into a keyboard as far as Linux is concerned, I don't believe lircd is needed - empcd can take over from there. I'm not sure if lirc_serial is still required...

Thanks for the quick reply
I'm not sure how everything is supposed to work just by using empcd... It requires some kind of driver, I think - at least that's what it says in empcd.conf ("eventdevice" line)....
So, do I just disregard lirc completely, and see if it will work with empcd, by putting "eventdevice /dev/input/event0" into empcd.conf?
From what I understand, empcd uses input events, and I should find which "event" my serial IR receiver is (most likely "event0"), and then try to decipher which button does what.... thus bypassing lirc and its settings, modules and whatnot?
Will try that, sure - and I'll be back soon to report on my progress

Well you can pretty much disregard the user-space LIRC pieces, they're not needed for MPD control. That said they could help you for debugging. I haven't built my own serial receiver yet to do any of what you're attempting to do and didn't include the user space binaries in the builds to save space - I'll probably integrate them with the devx in a future release to simplify the debugging and testing side of things.
The drivers on the other hand you do need - I don't see an lirc_serial driver in the kernel modules that are bundled with mpdPup, my assumption is that this is deprecated in favor of some newer modules, but I can't find any good documentation to back this up. You also need to configure the keymap for your remote control so the LIRC driver correctly converts it's IR codes to keyboard commands, and I don't know how a specific keymap is loaded and tied to an event device.

Here is an article where someone posted some detailed information on how to get this working for newer kernels:
You would want to follow the steps which discuss using the kernel drivers only.
Note I think this guide may be specifying some user-space LIRC tools for debugging purposes. ir-keytable is frequently referenced but that's not something bundled today - I assume it's part of the lirc user space tools. If you know the exactly what config file goes with your remote you may not need it. I have a hunch this might still be a bit easier than this poster is making it sound, but as he notes in his article, documentation is extremely sparse.

Idolse, thanks for the help!
I don't think I'll be able to do it "the new way", using just the kernel.
Namely, my serial receiver is not recognized as input, there are no "events" for it, and /dev/input/event0 or any other "event" does not generate anything.
From what I've read in the articles you've linked (and some others), it seems that for the homebrew serial IR receiver in this case it would be best if I disabled everything from the new kernel stuff and do it "the old way", with lirc, which is, for example, also explained here:
My 8250 module for the serial port is listed OK (it was added to boot modules parameter in /etc/rc.d/MODULESCONFIG automagically), and I guess I now have to see how to disable the new kernel stuff with input/events, and go step by step to get lirc up and running in the old way...
On the machines I'm using, the serial port isn't used for anything else, anyway, so... IR serial would be the best way to go in my situation. The receivers can be made cheaply (I already have parts for several), and used with cheap "universal" remotes...
Imon displays with remotes would be the best, and could be used "out of the box" without tinkering, since that is the what you've set up mpdPup, but the price of such an imon unit would more than exceed the unit cost of the existing PC machines I'm tinkering with
Besides, it wouldn't fit
Here's what I'm playing with:
(note those are NOT my pages...)
- a perfect machine for a totally quiet headless music server: I've already set up several for some of my friends who are into hifi (and who have rather serious hifi equipment at home) - and evey single one of them praises its sound quality
So, I also have to extend their praise to you, since I actually have nothing with it - I'm just setting these up with mpdPup installation (somewhat customised), and at their homes I set up the local wifi network stuff, connecting to DAC and setting their mobile phone clients, etc. for remote management...

Huh - that first link is interesting. The article you linked is basically saying the kernel needs to be re-compiled with a flag to pass IR to the user space LIRC. What's weird though is this advice is contrary to the various posts and emails to the LIRC list from the main developer (the blog I linked earlier), this is all supposed to work with the in kernel drivers.
I think the biggest issue here is the lack of documentation - in his blog post in 2010 he mentioned a FAQ on the in kernel updates would come out but then nothing ever did. Almost all the documentation on the lirc.org site dates from 2010 and earlier so no help there either. I suspect if you have the patience to wade through the LIRC mailing list archives most of the needed info is hiding there.
If compiling the kernel with a special flag is really the only way to get serial working then I can look into this when I get around to re-building the whole system on a 3.x kernel, but hopefully there is a way to get this working using the in-kernel drivers and standard event devices. I guess I really need to break out my soldering iron and put together the homebrew serial receiver pieces I picked up.
Another option if you're trying to do this on a budget is to see if any of the cheap USB IR receivers will work - based on what I've read most of the cheap receivers that present themselves as an MCE remote should work similarly to iMon.
Those iGel units look nice - looks like a similar class of hardware to the PC Engines Alix but nicer packaging and DVI. Glad to hear you're having good luck with them.

Hi DenisP
Do you see any advantage using Igel 5/4 with a more powerfull CPU?. It also has an external power supply. Prices are great at Ebay.

Congratulations, you've got a budget: $400 a month for groceries. $2,000 for rent or mortgage, and 15% of your take-home pay distributed across your six-month emergency savings fund, IRA and 401k.
Wait ... nothing left over for savings? You have your budget busters (or bad math) to thank for that. Got a tooth ache? Crowns can cost $800. Like the feel of the wind in your hair? Speeding tickets can run you $200 and an extra $500 for a lawyer if you're at risk of losing your license. Are you freelancing, or taking additional income on the side? Tax time can be a horror show, especially if you don't pay estimated quarterly taxes. The government takes about 30% from your gross income -- and if you don't save for it, you could take on debt just to pay it off. Plan for the unexpected, and those budget busters won't get the best of you.

Farmer's Market Sunday
Have you been to a farmer's market or farm stand yet this year? August through Autumn is my favorite time to go. The tomatoes, corn and peaches are at their peak. It doesn't get better than this unless you grow your own. I strolled through the tents at my local Sunday market sampling garlic and onion jelly, herbed goat cheese, blackberry wine, artisan cheeses and red-fleshed plums so ripe the juice flowed down my chin. I love buying local.
Tonight for dinner I am making a pasta with fresh mozzarella, spinach, red bell peppers and onions. I need to cook the organic summer squash I bought, so I might throw them in too.
The picture is of a vegetable stand I saw in the walled Inner City of Baku a few years ago. The fruit there was fantastic. Some of the best figs I have ever eaten.

I love this time of year. The garden is at its peak. The sweet potatos are in bloom. Beans of rainbow colors are ready, the beets are getting some size and the broccoli that I hoping would get bigger has set yellow flowers. The squash is coming on hard and sticking their yellow or green noses out from under the large spiky leaves. Cabbages are packed tightly and the tomatoes are just starting. I dug the red skin potatoes and looks like the garlic is ready. Planning dinner is easy

I love the colorful fruit against all that white! How was Baku?

So many of us find ourselves wondering how to give a Christmas gift that really shows our significant other that we're thinking of him.
So this year, why not get him what he really wants:
A vacuum.
Men have long been obsessed with pitching in around the house, specifically with cleaning floors and upholstery.
Sadly, you think I'm being facetious — and maybe I am just a bit — but wrapping up a Dyson for this holiday season isn't a bad way to get some help with your household chores. After all, it's a not-so secret that Dyson was designed to interest men, what with the emphasis on power and technology.
Better yet, you can save big with Black Friday vacuum deals. Warner Stellian is offering 25% off Dyson vacuums on Black Friday (actually, you can start taking advantage online starting on Thanksgiving if you want to take a break from turkey and appreciation). Plus, all vacuums ship for free nationwide!
Which should you choose?
For a vacuum that looks like a power tool and competes against race cars, look no further than the DC34, which delivers 15 minutes of powerful, constant suction or 6 minutes on MAX power for tougher cleans. Dyson digital motor spins up to 5 times faster than a racing car engine. It has a lithium-ion battery that recharges up to 3 times faster than others with patented Root Cyclone™ technology for no loss of suction.
Pet hair, beware! The Dyson Animal DC41 was designed for pet moms and dads who love their dogs and cats but don't necessarily want their presence found on every surface of the house.
Dyson DC41 Animal is a Dyson Ball™ upright vacuum with the latest Radial Root Cyclone™ technology. It generates the strongest suction power at the cleaner head, to powerfully remove dust, dirt and pet hair from the home. Includes a Mini turbine head to clean pet hair and stubborn dirt from upholstery, stairs and the car. Lifetime washable filter traps microscopic allergens.
If your situation is especially…hairy…upgrade to the DC41 Animal Complete. Dyson's newest full-size Dyson Ball™ upright is engineered for outstanding cleaning performance, with extra tools for pet hair and ground-in dirt and comes with Dyson's new Tangle-free Turbine tool. The Animal Complete has the strongest suction at the cleaner head, which automatically self-adjusts for different carpet lengths and hard floors.
Local customers can rest assured that we are equipped to service the vacuums we sell — whether its Dyson, Miele vacuums or Panasonic vacuums.

Ash Goodman needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 58 designs submitted by 22 freelance designers.
Holiday Homes Around the World
The client is an Italian man building a new website to market a new trend in holiday travel. That of staying in holiday homes rather than hotels or resorts. This allows the traveler to more easily experience the real authentic culture of the places they are traveling to
Holiday makers with a focus on corporate clients. It will be used in web, print and other promotional materials.
This is being done on behalf of one of my clients. Its my first time trying 99Designs so if things go well I will be back for more.
The client has provided a mockup that is very much along the lines of what he wants (attached)
The following are direct quotes from the client:
Regarding the mockup the client provided (attached) "This is the idea we have in mind and I believe we would probably be quite happy with a final result very close to that."
"The colour scheme should be in our opinion based on mild blue and azure, white, maybe grey pattern, so the whole logo should be harmonious and convey a relaxing, lively and bright feeling. "
Colours should have a tendency to "blue, white and azure like the sky and the clouds, or like the colour of the ocean, something that conveys relaxation. "

SHS girls 6th in region
LUBBOCK — The Sweet-water High School girls golf team finished in sixth place at the Region I-3A tourna-ment that ended Tuesday at Lubbock's Meadowbrook Canyon course, failing to pick up any ground despite a slight improvement during the final round of play.The Lady Mustangs shot 372 — three strokes better than their opening 375 Monday — to finish the two-day event at 747. While that was better than 10 teams, it failed to qualify the Lady Mustangs for a berth in the state tournament, which goes to only the top two teams as well as the top two individuals not on a qualifying team. Andrews won the event with a 645 total while Burkburnett took the No. 2 spot with a 667. Snyder placed third at 675, while Pecos (696) and Monahans (697) also finished ahead of Sweetwater.Katie High and Jodie May tied for individual honors for Sweetwater as both shot 182. High finished with an 89 Tuesday, while May shot 91. Sarah Witt shot 90-184, Elise Lawrence 103-200 and Alex Gomez 102-201 to round out the team.The SHS boys will be represented by Ryan Mercer as a medalist beginning today at the Region I-3A tourna-ment, which ends Thursday and is also being played at Lubbock's Meadowbrook Canyon course. Mercer, a junior and son of SHS boys golf coach Steve Mercer, is making his third straight regional appearance, all of them as a medalist. However, he will be trying to qualify for the state tournament for the first time. Mercer finished in a tie for 10th place at last year's regional tournament.

back cover (US)
While walking through the Evergreen Forest, Prince Adam and Cringer come across a group of Kobolds taking a Native American woman to the City of Targa. Adam and Cringer quickly change and stop the kidnappers. Afterward, the woman, Princess Rana of Targa, thanks them, as she says that otherwise she would have become a slave.
He-Man is shocked to know that slavery exists on Eternia, and finds out that the leader of the Kobolds, Lodar, has enslaved her entire people. He-Man decides to go to Targa with Rana to stop Lodar, but must first cross a river flooded due to rain. In the process, a boulder hits He-Man, knocking him out. Rana and Battle Cat race to help him, but too late -- the Kobolds have captured him. The purple warriors see the two watching, and capture them as well!
Later, He-Man awakens in a dungeon next to a member of Rana's people named Garn, unable to remember his name. Suddenly, the Kobolds burst in and demand that the two come with them. They bring them to a throne in front of Lodar, and demand that they bow. But even without his memory, He-Man refuses to bow to him.
Lodar, apparently a man in a mask, demands that Garn and the stranger fight as gladiators in the Arena of Death, promising that the victor shall go free. During the combat, Garn sees the stranger's death as his passport to freedom, and both battle fiercely. Eventually, Garn clubs He-Man in the head, which revives his memory. He-Man ends the fight decisively, but will not kill Garn. Instead, he climbs into the stands after Lodar! Though Lodar puts up a good fight, He-Man eventually prevails.
Afterward, Lodar and the Kobolds are banished underground, where Lodar no longer will be able to use magic without the sun and the moon. He-Man, triumphant, heads off to new adventure.

I've been considering going on one of these for jollies.
I only normally bake for myself at home but it might still come in handy and I do sometimes share excess goodies with my work buddies. I should probably care whether I poison them or not. Maybe.

I was at a social event with Pam and didn't attend, but the reports are it was a rainy, great night of Cross racing with Heule taking the win. Andrew raced Single and should have a report up soon. While all us of aren't racing yet, we are secretly cross training.
The course lay out featured long grassy straight-aways with riders going in and out of the Marymoor velodrome. As the weather turned for the worse, bike handling took precedence over power as the off-camber turns slickened with rain. Tim Johnson (Cannondale) went down on the first lap and soon an elite field formed: Page, Trebon, Heule, Troy Wells, and Andy Jacques-Maynes (Bissell) and Jeremy Powers.

RentRent.org has announced the creation of an API that searches local Craigslist entries for rental properties including apartments and houses. [Note that RentRent.org is not associated with Craigslist.org.] This new API gives developers the ability to integrate rental searches with mapping applications and APIs (our RentRent API profile has details).
The straightforward REST-based API returns data in JSON format and each call specifies a location (minimum and maximum latitude and longitude) and the type of property (room or apartment/house). Optional parameters include the number of bedrooms and bathrooms, and whether pets are allowed. Basic RentRent API documentation is currently available, with more coming soon.
To see the RentRent API in action, with full Microsoft Virtual Earth integration, visit the RentRent.org Craigslist rentals page, select "Apartments/House Rental," select a city, define the rental you're looking for, and click "Find Properties."
For example, here is the result of a search for apartments near Fenway Park in Boston:
While this is a useful platform extension to Craigslist, keep in mind that Craigslist has not always looked favorably on third party mashups, such as when they blocked Listpic or when they fought Oodle.

Mixed Martial Arts is a sport that's beginning to see mainstream acceptance in the United States, and with an explosive night of fights—not to mention impressive sales—the UFC 100 event pushed the sport further into the bright lights of success. Now that the sport has proven its popularity and legitimacy, EA wants to get into the game, but Ultimate Fighting Championship President Dana White has threatened to blacklist any fighter who appears in an EA MMA title.
"I'm not tap-dancing around this thing or whatever," White said, as reported by MMA Junkie. "I'm telling you straight-up, I'm at war with them right now. That's how I look at it." What happens if a fighter agrees to an appearance in EA's MMA title? Simple. "You won't be in the UFC," White claimed.
That's not a small threat; while other promotions have found success in different areas of the world, UFC is the face of Mixed Martial Arts in the United States. If a fighter wants to have a career in the states, he's going to have to stay on Dana White's good side.
UFC has also created one of the quickest routes to fame in Mixed Martial Arts: the reality show The Ultimate Fighter. If you look at UFC's roster of fighters, a large number of names and faces came from that show; the fight between Forrest Griffin and Stephan Bonnar in the finale of the show's first season is widely considered a classic in Mixed Martial Arts. UFC has the tools to make you a star, or destroy you... and it all may come down to which video game you appear in.
At war with EA, and itself
The reason for this animosity? White wanted to create UFC games with EA in the past, before the UFC's current success. By his accounts, EA shunned both his company and the sport itself.
"It's easy to sit on the other side of the table and judge me on how I react to stuff like this, but let me tell you what—I've been in the trenches for almost 10 years, and I've been dealing with all these businesses, and EA was one of them," White explained. "EA Sports told us, 'You're not a real sport, we wouldn't touch this thing. We want nothing to do with this.'"
White is also sitting on one of the more surprising success stories in gaming: THQ-published UFC 2009 Undisputed sold 679,600 copies on the Xbox 360 in May, and another 334,400 copies on the PlayStation 3. White points to the difficulties of launching that franchise in the current economy, and EA's interest only coming after the sport's success. Of course, he phrased his points in more colorful language than I'm allowed to use here.
This may be the rare case where EA isn't in the position of power. White has the luxury of an already-successful game based on Mixed Martial Arts, and for many fighters the possibility of a UFC contract is worth much more than an appearance in a video game. Randy Couture may be gracing the game's cover, but that deal was only struck after a lengthy court battle with UFC. That's more evidence that EA knows the power of UFC-branded fighters, and White's public threats could deal a large blow to the lineup in EA's title.
Dana White has already shown a willingness to throw his weight around over the gaming issue. Welterweight contender Jon Fitch was dropped from the UFC when he balked at signing a lifetime deal for THQ to use his likeness in its UFC game. Fitch later signed the deal to appear in the game, and returned to the UFC. The lesson was, it seems, learned quickly.
White's strategy is clear: if you don't want to play things his way, you can find another house to fight in. Right now, the UFC controls the money in US Mixed Martial Arts, and both EA and UFC fighters are starting to understand how much power Dana White has gathered in the sport. If he gets you in his own game, your likeness rights are locked down for a lifetime. If you go to EA, you'll never fight in the UFC again. For people who are paid to get punched in the head, this is the rare uncomfortable position that occurs outside the octagon.

135 systems found
Sort by:
Finding software can be overwhelming. We've helped hundreds of small manufacturers choose the right small business manufacturing software to improve operational and production efficiency.
Sort by:
There are hundreds of software solutions on the market, many of which address every step of operations from product inception to customer delivery. For smaller businesses, however, many solutions are more complex than their needs require. To better help these buyers, we've narrowed down the manufacturing software market to focus on those solutions ideal for small businesses only (manufacturers with $10 million or less in annual revenue).
A small business manufacturing software solution provides various modules, such as bills of material (BOM), manufacturing resource planning (MRP), work jobs, sales orders, purchasing and inventory, to small-sized businesses. The system addresses the major requirements of the overall manufacturing process workflow, which is the core of small businesses.
Many small manufacturing firms contact us for advice as they search for new software solutions. Some are replacing manual methods and have never implemented a software solution before, while others are looking to upgrade to a new system with greater functionality. The most common reasons prospective buyers cite when looking for manufacturing software for small businesses is that they're:
While the reasons abound, the systems and features that address these issues are also plentiful. We do find however, that most small businesses require one or more of these basic capabilities:
|Material requirements planning (MRP)
|MRP systems are used for tracking and organizing production materials and monitoring the flow of labor and equipment. These systems can also be used to help reduce shipping and receiving errors by processing advanced shipping notifications from suppliers and reporting changes in cycle counts for inventory management.
|Automates the initial phases of the production process.
|Manufacturing execution system (MES)
|An MES is used to provide manufacturing managers with real-time reporting from the shop floor in order to assist with decision-making about the production process. Additional MES functions include production and labor tracking, equipment utilization and scrap reporting.
|Provides a real-time window into shop floor operations.
|Manufacturing accounting
|Manufacturing accounting systems include standard accounting features such as inventory, payroll and accounts receivable, but also come with more manufacturing-focused capabilities such as sales and purchase orders, work-in-progress reports and job costing modules.
|Manages manufacturing-specific financial transactions and operations.
|Supply chain management (SCM)
|While the functionality of an SCM system within a manufacturing system will likely be less robust than a standalone SCM system, this feature assists with basic supply chain management, particularly inventory control.
|Automates basic supply chain control and alerts users to delays and backlogs.
|Customer relationship management (CRM)
|Within a manufacturing solution for smaller businesses, this function will assist with basic customer service and support, such as troubleshooting and the storage of customer contact information.
|Manages all of a company's customer data and interactions.
Small manufacturers should always be prepared for unexpected changes in the market and competition from larger enterprises. Here's a list of the current trends in the small business manufacturing market.
Small manufacturers will develop strategies more aggressively. Small-sized manufacturing companies will try and fight the digital differences that can develop between them and larger enterprises by creating strategies that embrace the latest manufacturing technologies and concepts. To achieve this, they will need to modernize their plant floor equipment and move to advanced manufacturing systems so that they can manage information more efficiently.
The adoption of robots will rise. Among several advanced technologies, small manufacturers are expected to adopt affordable and general-purpose robots. These robots will work in collaboration with the human workforce in a safe and secure manner to transform the overall plant floor activities. Also, concepts such as machine learning and visual analysis, will make it easier to deploy robots in frontline manufacturing roles, make them flexible for various types of work jobs and easier to program for complicated tasks.
Demand will drive production. Earlier, manufacturers used to push work orders to the shop floor, irrespective of the amount of work in line. However, this has now eased and current lean manufacturing practices help shop floors by requesting for a job based on the requirement. Manufacturers are applying the same concept to their high-level output planning by working closely with the sales force and customers. This helps them predict the actual demand for the future and results in lower lead times, fewer inventory items and overall satisfied customers.
Currently, even small business manufacturing software solutions provide capabilities that support demand-driven manufacturing. Hence, small manufacturers that are adopting such systems are on the rise.
What level of functionality do you require? The first consideration for a small business evaluating manufacturing software is how much functionality they require in a system. This will differ considerably from business to business, but starting with a clear assessment of your needs will go a long way in determining which system is the best fit.
Some small manufacturing companies may be automating only some operations for the first time, and thus may not require a full suite that includes material requirements planning. For example, a smaller firm may only need bill of materials (BOM) automation, which can be done with certain manufacturing accounting products, such as Peachtree and Quickbooks.
Does your business require an ERP system? Enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems can be used by small manufacturing companies, but are often a better fit for mid-to-large-sized manufacturing operations due to their complexity and advanced functionality (and often times, cost).
However, there are a number of ERP systems on the market tailor-made for small businesses. These systems offer more functionality than basic manufacturing software, but are easier to implement and operate than the enterprise-level ERP systems on the market.
Which manufacturing mode is specific to your business? Different products are made to support different modes of manufacturing, e.g. repetitive, made to order, mixed mode or another specific process. When evaluating manufacturing software for smaller firms, it's important to select a product that supports your specific manufacturing type.
Otherwise, you may find yourself struggling to adapt your business processes to software that isn't adequately designed to handle them.

Microsoft is getting feisty again with their Bing service as they're taking the fight to Google with quite a snarky holiday ad released on YouTube.
With its "A Visit from St. Nicholas" style narration, the ad takes on Google's practice of listing shopping results not so much based on lowest price or other reasonable metrics but rather who paid the most. As it turns out, some of the top results in Google are there because a company paid to have them there, as opposed to being what is best for the shopper. Or so that is what Microsoft alleges.
In turn, Bing is shown as an alternative whereby online shoppers will get the very best deal with no small print having to be observed.
We have to admit it's a clever little short. Although going through the cesspool of YouTube comments you can tell the Google (ergo Android) fans are out in full force with some actually defending Google's practice.
You do have to give Microsoft a little credit here though with Bing. It's a solid search engine and although Google "owns" search, Microsoft is not letting it go to them completely. According to ComScore, in the US Bing has managed to get 16% of the search market while Google still commands 66%. By comparison to last year, Bing has crept up slightly by 1.5% displacing Yahoo! as the #2 search engine. In other words, it a slow war of attrition with no signs of either side giving up.
But hey, the only way is up, right?

"It is our promise that our products actually do what we say they will do." —Bob Gore
by Joel Muzzey
Veteran snowboard pros John Jackson and Kimmy Fasani are still fairly new to the Burton team, both having joined the brand in the last couple years. As two of the sport's top-tier backcountry riders, the pair, according to Global Team and Marketing Director Bryan Knox, "was a natural fit" for Burton's AK outerwear line. The AK collection represents the pinnacle of outerwear technology and performance in the Burton line—as the name suggests, it is gear worthy of the demanding Alaskan alpine.
Since Burton's AK line made its debut back in 1997, the gear has been designed and developed in partnership with W.L. Gore & Associates, the company behind Gore-Tex fabric. You probably know that industry-leading Gore-Tex is the world's first and foremost waterproof, breathable fabric. If not, you should know that its unique performance properties make it an unsurpassed ingredient in high-end snowsports outerwear.
Check out these images from Blotto of Kimmy and John:
As part of the partnership between Gore and Burton, athletes on the AK program make an annual visit to Gore's testing facilities in Newark, Delaware. The riders tour the various laboratories and get a crash-course in all things Gore from the company's experts and engineers. They're exposed to the product testing process and what goes into the outerwear they use and abuse every day, all winter long. They also get hands on, jumping into actual testing scenarios. I was lucky enough to tag along on the field trip and see it for myself.
Both Jackson and Fasani's backcountry exploits have been well documented. John has been filming mind-bending video parts for nearly a decade and in the last few years his riding has accelerated, putting him at the very forefront of the backcountry freestyle movement. In 2011, he earned TransWorld's Rider of the Year honors as well as Video Part of the Year, among other accolades. He is currently at work on his own shred film with his brother Eric, called Brothers On The Run. Kimmy is a well known and respected pro who has been competing and filming on a global level since the mid 2000s. Her big breakthrough came in 2011 when she became the first woman to successfully land a double back flip.
With the work these two do on the snow, they're used to being the ones who do the amazing but when they took their field trip through the Gore facilities, they were the ones amazed. "I'm pretty sure there's nothing better than Gore-Tex," says John, "but before going there, I had no idea the testing was at this level." The "level" John refers to is best illustrated in Gore's Rain Room. This is a laboratory environment designed and engineered to create the actual velocity of rainfall. It's like a giant glass shower stall where waterproofing is put to the ultimate test.
To earn Gore's " Guaranteed To Keep You Dry® pledge, every garment must survive the rain room as well as other tests. That means every piece of AK outerwear must withstand 30 minutes of rain at a rate of 3 inches per hour without leaking through onto the cotton-clad mannequin. Garments intended for the wettest environments, like the 3L Hover & Freebird jackets must withstand 60 minutes of rain at a rate of 22 inches per hour. Basically, a simulated tsunami. On our visit, both Kimmy and John stood in for the mannequins, enduring torrential but nonetheless dry time in the rain room wearing 2013 AK outerwear.
Our testing tour then continued into the Environmental Chamber, a lab designed to simulate various weather conditions for tests related to physiology and performance. They call it the Comfort Chamber and inside temps can range from 120º to -20º. There's equipment with sensors for real human testers as well as machines that simulate sweating. Our tour guide and Burton's Gore liaison, Todd Folmsbee explained this lab allows them "to evaluate comfort in controlled conditions in a condensed time frame."
We moved on to the Glove Lab for a quick demo then walked carefully past the slowly spinning Abrasion Testing machines. We peered into the Suter Testing lab, where fabrics are exposed to pressurized water to test for leakage. Later we were led to a bank of literally hundreds of washing machines that run nonstop for weeks on end to carry out the all-important "wet flex testing" to ensure that the Gore coated fabrics hold up.
Gore-Tex is a derivative of PTFE—polytetrafluoroethylene, that's right bro—invented by Bob Gore in 1969. By 1976 Gore-Tex fabric was on the American market in outerwear. Since then, Gore has pioneered applications for this strange stuff for everything from NASA space suits to fuel cell membranes to cardiovascular patches used in heart surgery. Even though the Consumer Fabrics and Technically Oriented Fabrics divisions of Gore are cutting edge for the world of boardsports, relatively speaking, when you consider the other stuff Gore does, the fabric testing might even seem simple. Nonetheless it's serious.
On the partnership between Gore-Tex & AK, Gore's Todd Folmsbee, who is also snowboarder, explained, "We love working with Burton. They really push the envelope as far as design, style, and aesthetics. What's nice for Gore is that helps us, because it challenges us. What we try to do is bring to life some of the ideas the Burton team has—to meet expectations and deliver a high performance garment to the snowboarder."
And according to Kimmy Fasani, they're meeting the challenge. As we leave the facility, she shares a story from one of her first days out riding the backcountry in her new AK outerwear, "One morning we pulled into the parking lot at Brandywine in Whistler and it was pouring rain but we knew that the freezing level was at a higher elevation just a short way up the trail. On the sled ride up, the precip transitioned from pouring rain to sleet to snow and dipped to freezing temps. With so much moisture—from the rain to the snow—our outerwear froze on the way up. But we never got wet. Actually, I think we stayed out riding for six or seven hours that day—totally dry."

text: The Best Day of College You Ever Had Posted on 23 August 2012 by: Jacob Shideler Having graduated in 2010 there is something that I realized. I miss college. Many may share the same sentiment, but I know my pining is for more than the social surroundings and unparalleled freedom. My longing comes from my absence from the classroom: learning, growing, constantly challenging one's self, and the influx of brand new ideas (or old ones presented with a new twist). The classroom is a beautiful entity that I know we all take for granted while sitting in them. The communal experience where minds - no two exactly alike - listen, contemplate, share ideas, challenge thoughts, and take something with them by the end of the day that they didn't have before – knowledge. With that said, I am excited for the new season ahead because of the wonderful program here at LA Opera, spearheaded by our Education Manager, Jill Burnham, known as Opera for Educators. It's like the best day of college you ever had! This program takes place at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion where hundreds of teachers take seven Saturdays throughout our season to learn about opera. Actually, "learn about opera" does this class no justice. This is a program that creates strategies for integrating art and the multidisciplinary art form of opera into teacher's curriculum to reinforce important historical, cultural and socio/political events. Teachers develop and discuss strategies for making curriculum connections between opera and literature, language studies, cultural diversity, geography and the science of sound. Opera for Educators is a home for those teachers who seek to better their minds, better their classrooms and better themselves. I was lucky enough to help Jill out during the course of Opera for Educators during the 2011-2012 season and my world view on opera dramatically shifted. Jill creates such a fun learning environment by inviting some of the most renowned minds to lecture on the music, history, and literature surrounding the opera in discussion. Every so often Jill even surprises her teachers by bringing in professional artists to give recitals singing pieces from the opera or other pieces by the composer. She's also been known to nab directors, stage managers, costume designers, orchestra players and stars of the main stage. If you are a teacher – and we all take the role of teacher, just as we all take on the role of student – then this is a program you should not miss out on.

Below: a rectangle that contains some of the gnarliest highway interchanges in our community.
To me, these represent serious barriers to alternative transportation use. There are five "islands" in that diminutive 12 square mile chunk represented above. Getting from one island to another is often a daunting task. There are only a few roads that cut through without forcing cyclists and pedestrians to "share the road" with a 3 or 4 lane interchange riddled with on-ramps and off-ramps and often no sidewalks, wide lanes, or even shoulders to work with.
This is my neighborhood, folks. I don't live in this rectangle, but I'm just north of it and I do a good chunk of my riding in this area. My job is in this rectangle. I may be participating in a focus group for the Johnson County Gateway Corridor project. While I certainly have my own opinions and thoughts on what could be done to improve the accessibility of this area, I wouldn't mind some opinions from my peers. I see a lot of people riding these streets. Speak up!
What are your suggestions for making things better for alternative transportation, if you had to focus your effort on this little slice of our community?

I've got a few thoughts which I'll try to write more on later. However, to distill them there are
1) Establishing certain streets as priority to become bike transportation corridors. Ideally these streets would be ones that extend a long way and do NOT interchange with highways. College, 127th, 143rd, KC Road / Santa Fe Trail Dr, Ridgeview, Pflumm are all potentially great corridors.
Even Renner and Lackman have some potential.
Note, some might argue the KC Road / Santa Fe statement however, I think it's wonderful, especially going north.
2) These corridors need Paint / Signs / Paths (NOT "bigger sidewalks", these have to have priotiry at intersections) that are CONTINUOUS for their entire length on BOTH sides of the street.
Nothing strikes me as more asinine in JOCO as bike lanes that are only marked in the middle of a block and end before an intersection only to resume AFTER the intersection with no signage to support that bicyclists ARE IN FACT allowed to continue on the road. There are some automobilites in JOCO that actually think that no lane means the bikes are supposed to get up on the sidewalk. The majority of automobile / bicycle incidents happen at intersections NOT in the middle of a block. So signage and street paint are MORE important at the intersections. Now, transitioning to Sharrows and Bike Boxes at the intersections would be fine(along with lots of signs stating right turn yield to bikes), I know there is occasionally a space issue in painting an entire bike lane - would make it a joy to ride the length of these streets. As it is, it's frustrating and scary at many of the intersections because most motorists to not understand that bicyclists have a right to placing and using even on sections that are not marked.

I agree completely on signs, and paths, to an extent. I'm not terribly hot on bike lanes. I'd take a really nice, wide outer lane over a marked bike lane, for multiple reasons, not the least of which is the fact that they promote traffic segregation and an us-vs-them attitude. Further, bike lanes are often unkempt and blighted after a short period of time. Check out Ridgeview Road between 143rd and 135th. That's a relatively new bike lane, but it's in horrible condition. Further, the street sweepers don't bother clearing it, whereas they usually scrub all the way to the gutter when there's not a bike lane. Why? No idea, but it happens.
As I take Santa Fe Trail Drive/KC Road daily, I do have some things to add there:
1) Dig up the Railroad sidings that aren't being used any more. You can tell them because they have orange or yellow derailers attached, and the pavement isn't torn up by train traffic. Put decent reinforced crossings in for the sidings that are still used. What's in place now is negligently dangerous.
2) I wish they'd give it a wide outer lane all the way from end-to-end, or at least to Ridgeview. It's only 8 miles long, but very valuable.
Pflumm is generally a good north/south road. Its lanes are plenty wide from just north of College, down to, I believe, 143rd or so. Widening pflumm north of college would be a bonus. Even if they left it at one lane. The stretch near 103rd always feels somewhat treacherous to me. Steep hills mean it's hard to keep up with traffic. Narrow lanes mean cars pass closely even if you take the lane. The hills remove the visibility of passing motorists, who often put themselves and others in harm's way to get around cyclists or other slow moving vehicles.
I would like to see some little trails, like short stretches of MUP that go under the highways at strategic points. Eventually, it'd be nice if they tied some of the existing trail systems together to do this.

Noah, yeah I completely agree. If they're looking to add pavement, my comments about bike lanes become very different. Wide lanes + signage (not "share the road" too many drivers believe that means "bikers need to share the road by getting out of the way" I can't remember which other sign I read about that some city is using makes more sense and / or sharrows + bike boxes if we can educate drivers on what they mean) are better than narrowing lanes to add bike lanes.
Also, connecting the current path system and adding branches into neighborhoods / commerce areas / bike friendly streets would be great.

Illinois football has had rough times in recent years, but things might be looking up. The Illini are 3-1 in 2013, including a victory over high-powered Cincinnati. Ryan Lankford is a key reason for the turnaround, with 236 yards receiving, 52 yards rushing and two touchdowns. RedEye caught up with the senior receiver to discuss why the team is improving, why he loves trick plays and the unusual method he uses to unwind.
What has the coaching staff done to turn around the culture of Illinois football?
I think the biggest thing is just being positive, letting us know that we are a good football team and the past is the past, "We're a group of guys that are here and want to see you guys succeed and want to see you guys make plays." I think that's the biggest thing, just being confident and letting us know that we can play with anybody in the country.
What goals does the team have for the Big Ten season?
We would love to get in the [championship]. I think as a team you have to come in thinking that.
Why have the trick plays been working and what makes them so valuable?
Coach Cubit [offensive coordinator Bill Cubit] is an offensive mastermind and we probably practice a trick play almost every day. He can just draw something up on the spot and really make it work. It makes our offense that much more fun because we know that he's not afraid to call a trick play.
Should college athletes get paid?
It's a tough situation. Because at first you want to say, "absolutely." As a college kid, anytime you can get extra money you want to say yes. As I sit back and think about it [however], you really don't.
[The school is] paying for a lot. The little bit of extra money we do get from scholarships, that's all our responsibility to manage that and be responsible with it. It's a little bit of both. I don't know all the different factors; it's one of those tough situations. But if they were down to say we need to get money. I wouldn't say no, I'd accept it. [laughs].
Do you see college athletes getting some type of compensation in the next several years?
I think in the next few years that probably will happen. There's so much stuff. The game is changing every day and the world is changing every day. I definitely feel that there will be little changes here and there and the change will be for the best. I can only hope that after I'm done playing ball that it only gets better for the player rather than worse.
What are some of the things the team does for fun?
I know lately a lot of the guys bought this "Grand Theft Auto" game, a lot of guys play NCAA [football]. You come in to the locker room every day and someone will be talking about "Oh I beat such and such last night." So we're a big group of gamers on this team.
I definitely know when another NBA game comes out it'll be another uproar. I think it was in still in the summer we had a 2K tournament ["NBA 2K" video game] in the players' lounge. Probably had 15-20 guys that were up here all day long.
Do you think video games help develop young athletes' minds?
I would say that. I know it's more so the other way around. We're better at the game because we play Division I football. We're able to know what "cover two" means compared to just the average person just looking at the colors and stuff. So we have some guys who are pretty good at the game just from playing football for so many years.
What's your favorite class?
Right now a pretty interesting class I'm taking is vegetable gardening in my senior year, just an hour booster class. I really didn't do much gardening growing up, or ever.
Is gardening a good way to relax away from football?
Oh yeah, a little bit. It's only an eight-week class. It's an interesting class, I'm actually learning stuff. We have a couple other teammates in there, so it's a good class to have.
What's something people might not know about you?
I'm from Florida, I probably grew up 10 minutes from the beach. I'm one of the few guys on the football team that actually surfs. I surf, I boogey board, I do all those extreme water sports. It's kind of my little secret hobby when I go back home.
Are you a good surfer?
I think I'm pretty good. Not the best, I don't get to do it as much, but I can stand up. That's the most important thing. [Laughs.]

This week on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, we picked up where we left off last week with Brandi Glanville telling Mauricio Umansky to shut the f*ck up. They went back and forth a bit before Kyle Richards finally commanded her husband to stop it. She should have told him a tad bit sooner.
Ken Todd continued sticking up for Brandi while Taylor Armstrong tried once again to make it all about her. "I've been through anything anyone here has been through times 10 ..." Snore. Even Camille Grammer had enough. "It's just so Taylor, to be like it's all about me," she told the cameras. And we're so over Taylor.
As Brandi tried to leave the restaurant, Mauricio stopped her and tried to tell her it wasn't personal. Um, WHAT?! How in the hell is it not personal when he just called her out in front of a group of people for what she said about Adrienne Maloof?
He totally tore her apart, and then had the gall to tell her it wasn't personal. Was he admitting it was all about business (anticipated or otherwise)? Even if that's the case, he certainly made it personal without knowing all the facts. "I don't know what I don't know about, and that's the truth," he said. Uh, yeah.
"It felt personal," Brandi told him. Ken then piped in and called him a typical male, which Kyle immediately felt the need to correct. "Ken, my husband is anything but a typical man," she told him. The fact that Mauricio actually liked the headband she wore to the art gallery opening later certainly backed that statement up (did ANYone else think that was a good look for her?).
Kyle and Mauricio then had Adrienne and Paul over for dinner. They had been away as they "needed a break from Brandi's toxicity." Mauricio made it very clear that he'd been sticking up for them, and also had to point out that he "didn't even flinch" when she told him to shut the fuck up. Big man. Is it just me, or is Mauricio becoming pretty annoying?
Kyle is the queen of trying to stay neutral and trying to keep everyone liking her (and her husband's business), but Mauricio very definitely picked a side here, yet he's still trying to pander to both sides. Why is it he felt the need to get involved again?
At the big art gallery opening, after Yolanda Foster did some ridiculous negotiating (not as ridiculous as her telling the moving man he needed to go home and learn English, but still quite ridiculous), Mauricio tried to make amends with Ken. Or at least that's what it seemed like when he went up and handed him a bottle of gin. Ken was still high after being surrounded by the glamazon beauties with their boobs in his face and seemed utterly confused as to why Mauricio was giving it to him. "I don't like it," he told him. Then he almost left without it, and Mauricio had to remind him to take it.
As Lisa Vanderpump was leaving, she ran into Mauricio. When he asked her what was up, she said "a lot," but that she didn't have time to discuss it then. Mauricio then acted shocked that she would have any sort of problem with him. Maybe that portal into another dimension at Kim's house sucked him away for a bit, but of course she has a problem after he attacked her girl Brandi like that.
Next week some of the ladies are headed to Vegas, which should be interesting. The final lineup of who's in wasn't quite firmed up, but I'm feeling pretty confident it won't include Adrienne. When she and Brandi shall finally meet is the big question, though even then I'm not sure it will provide the answer we all really want -- what the hell did Brandi say about Adrienne?
Oh yeah, and Paris Hilton showed up. Random.
What did you think of Mauricio telling Brandi it wasn't personal?

I know of someone who did forget to pull a vacuum and went in the water without the plug. This is essentially like diving with a hole in the bulkhead of your housing. Fortunately, he had a dome port on and caught it as the water started rushing in so he was able to turn the camera so the water began collecting in the dome as he was aborting the dive.
To Adam's point, having a vacuum system isn't completely fool proof. You still need to check your system before jumping in.
This doesn't add up. Surely, if water could get in, air would have got in first, before he hit the water. Sounds like someone ignoring the red light. Thank goodness he doesn't have a rebreather!

"one of best things ever bought"

I can't begin to tell you how thrilled I am with my solar shade. My living room window faces south so I have sun pouring in the window all day.View this product
By David from Halfmoon Bay
We ordered 13 motorized shades - not only was the price a fraction of our local dealer - they are excellent quality and exactly what we wanted. The only negative is the poor instructions for programming the Somfy remote controls. When there are 13 blinds in two rooms and two remotes - the instructions are poor. After a lot of time on the internet I finally had to call Somfy customer service - and they walked me through it- they were excellent and prompt.View this product

Dirt Every Day Episode 27 Destroying a Motorhome to Build a Man Sized Go-KartPosted in News on March 13, 2014
As kids, we all wished we owned an awesome Go-Kart and some of us were either lucky enough to have one or knew a buddy who did so it's a pretty safe bet that by the time you were old enough to start wrenching, you probably started messing with these tube framed good-times machines as you blasted up and down the street in the summer while all the adults weren't watching. At least that's how we remember it.
It seems that our pal, Fred Williams from Petersen's 4-Wheel & Off-Road still has some of those childhood dreams in his eyes but now that he's older and wiser he's smart enough to know that you can't go very fast with a kid-sized go-kart. Luckily Fred's a genius craftsman that can look at an old dilapidated Pace Arrow motorhome and see a Man-sized go-kart underneath the worn out traveling house.
On this episode of Dirt Every Day, Fred is going to rip apart an old worn out Pace Arrow motorhome that has clearly seen better days (like that one time he thrashed it in the dirt like the Dukes of Hazzard) and build every gearhead's dream; a full-size go-kart with big block power. How can you not love the idea of ripping the body off an old motorhome to build a go-kart with the thirsty beating heart of a 454 c.i. big block Chevy V-8?
Watch as Fred enlists the help of the Poly Goats, a local university four wheel drive club, to help destroy this old 1986 Pace Arrow motorhome to start the transformation into a giant go-kart. We're talking reciprocating sawzalls, giant sledge hammers and crowbars bashing their way through the structure of this old Pace Arrow to strip it down to the bare frame and drivetrain in preparation for building the gnarliest V-8 go-kart of all time!
Check out the full episode and watch all the mayhem and destruction brought upon this old tattered RV!

Philip Treacy: When I was six I went to weddings. We lived across from the church. I thought weddings were the most amazing things. I would see weddings happening at the church and I thought 'wow, what's going on? Everyone looks great'; all the cars were decorated in streamers, there was confetti, there was somebody arriving in white looking amazing and there was this ceremonial great sense of occasion and excitement – and that's why I do what I do… because of weddings.
When you design something for somebody who's getting married – no matter who they are – it's such an important moment in their lives that you feel the weight of the responsibility of the request. I had worked with the Duchess of Cornwall – who was then Mrs Parker Bowles – previously. It was a thrill to design a headdress for her because it was a momentous, historical moment for everybody concerned. The process was really quite simple because the Duchess left the headdress to me and she put her trust in my ability. The inspiration was to draw with feathers something that encapsulated the spirit of the occasion. So really, when I'm using those materials I'm drawing with them - I treat them as one would draw with a pencil, except I use the shape of all the feathers (which are all cut by hand, and all shaped by hand) to follow that direction. It was based around the fact that it was all balancing on nothing, so it looked like it was hovering on the side of the head, but it actually came full circle. It looked a bit like wheat, or all things perfect and natural.
I work for many types of people, from twenty year-old girls who have never worn a hat before, to a mum going to a wedding , to a pop star, to a movie star, to a member of the Royal Family. The difference with the latter is that we see it, a lot, continuously, forever, so it was important that it flattered the wearer.
Selina Blow came via Isabella Blow, who was my great friend, and mentor and muse. Selina's not a shy and retiring bride, she's not afraid of a strong hat and people that are fearless can get away with more. Some people can make the most extraordinary hat look like a little pillbox [hat] and Selina has that possibility. When you design something for somebody you design something that works with the personality of the person. Also, you are gently encouraging them to go maybe a little step further than they'd planned to go, whereas Selina didn't really need any encouragement at all, she was encouraging me!
Hats are part of special moments in people's lives and there is no more special moment that when people get married. Weddings embody a fantasy moment in everybody's life – whether it's the person getting married, or the family – so it's not really just 'something' that's on their head, it's 'everything they've dreamed of' on their head.

Wishing you all an amazing weekend!
Although I have managed to post all eight outfits this month, I haven't really been active in the blogosphere lately and my posts weren't uploaded on the correct days! I want to apologize for this and thank you all for your patience and your lovely words despite all of that:)
The reason I love these shorts is because they are both girly and edgy at the same time! The mixture of high waisted denim shorts and glitters makes them perfect. To make this outfit more night appropriate I would definitely add a pair of heeled sandals!
I am wearing:
