Pharmaceutical distribution requires powerful software in order to handle the large transaction volumes created in day-to-day business
Risto Kanerva, President of Oriola explains that IBS pharmaceutical software has helped the company streamlines supply chain processes.
With 80,000 order lines per day, Oriola, a leading Finnish wholesaler and distributor of pharmaceuticals and healthcare products, had a giant task on its hands. How would the company replace a highly functional but technologically obsolete system with a standard enterprise resource planning (ERP) system – without losing its 15,000 customers during the process? After a comprehensive vendor study and selection process, Oriola deemed IBS Pharma software solution the best fit, and it has been running live successfully since November 2004.
Oriola's main selection criteria for an ERP partner were high performance, one-stop-shop customer interface, one system across business functions, streamlined operations, stability and reliability, continuity, and assured delivery. In fact, Oriola was the first company ever to implement IBS Pharma since its rollout the same year. Oriola project manager Hele Lonka says the company chose the software because of the promised future co-operation in product development, as well as its performance and functionality.
"During implementation, it is crucial that you don't have to struggle with system performance. And since our goal was not to improve operations at the time, but to keep present functionality working well, we really depended on the system to do the job. We were pleased with the results."
Risto Kanerva, managing director of Oriola, adds the main reason the company chose IBS was due to the application's origin in logistics and distribution. "This is different from IBS' competitors, who have solutions geared more towards manufacturing and production businesses. But the IBS solution has excellent distribution applications. That made it easy to choose. In fact, the pharma portion of the software was an added benefit."
"But what we are really excited about is the fact that we now have a platform that we can build new value added services and new applications on," he adds.
His colleague VP of Logistics Seppo Hakanpää attests to this fact. "Our old IT environment had too many separate software systems, and there was no upgrading possible. We had too many interfaces among the many variants of existing software. But these problems are now solved with this new software. The quantity of different software has been reduced. We now have single-packet solutions as well as real-time visibility to and synchronisation of key business documents and supply chain data, such as vendor and customer information, pricing, inventory, orders, returns and contracts."
"And I like the fact that now we have a single user interface. It's easier to teach new operators how to use the system with one-single software and one-graphic user interface," Hakanpää continues.
IBS Pharma software fits Oriola's requirements like a glove. It has modules for sales order management that automatically streamlines order entries and integrates them with warehousing, logistics and invoicing. The software also includes invoicing and financial modules that provide on-demand integrated invoicing and accounting based on real-time information; warehouse management, picking and delivery, purchasing, returns and alert management, business analysis, e-business and CRM. But best of all, according to Oriola, it speeds up sales and purchase processing, optimises stock, minimises errors and enhances logistics planning.
The new software is the right prescription for Oriola's wholesale business requirements. With the company's annual revenue of 600 million euros, and 20 million order lines per year (80,000 per day), fast order cycles and high order processing volumes were a prerequisite when choosing IBS Pharma.
Kanerva is satisfied with the new business solution. "This functionality allows us to use one system for all of our business areas. So, the main benefits from this application take care of all specific needs for this healthcare business."
Lonka points out pharmacies are Oriola's largest customer bases, in terms of order lines. "We compete by trying to get the distribution task for pharmaceutical companies. But of course, there are other benefits received with an integrated system," she says. "It is simpler, you are not so dependent on one or two key persons, the organisation works better together, it is more convenient – you don't have to involve all departments. And it makes it possible to introduce new ways of doing things across different functions."
Oriola receives 80 percent of its order lines electronically, and more than 50 percent of the order lines are picked automatically. Order fulfilment throughput time is between 30 to 60 minutes. And the average is 8.4 packages per line. Its employees located in Finland, Baltic, Sweden and Denmark operate out of nine sites including a central warehouse in Espoo, and four distribution centers in Finland.
"The new system works well and it is nice to know that we have a pro-active supervising function for orders and picking interfaces. IBS is supervising it 24 hours a day and actively 12 hours a day," adds Lonka.
Oriola expects IBS Pharma to continue its future development according to the specific needs of the pharmaceutical industry, side by side with the best practices in the distribution industry in general. Oriola is in the midst of putting together a new company IT strategy. Once this is in place, one of the future visions is to integrate the software to its suppliers and customers in both directions. It also wants to expand the solution to its Baltic countries in the near future. Currently, IBS is also supplying management services of the solution.

I read it was rated the toughest course in Florida! YIKES!!!
Crandon Park, Miami Fl
TheSandTrap.com Top Picks
Re: Crandon Park, Miami FlPlayed yesterday in a grueling round from 9:45 Am to 3:30 PM....the course was backed up a bit!!
This is worth every penny!!! What an incredible course, but man is it challenging!!!! Played of the blue tees, the par 3's were specially tough. On the front9 you spend half the time flying over water. Here are some notable holes ...
1st hole you have to carry 200 yards to make it to dry ground, and then keep it to the right to stay out of water....I took mu own analysis way to far....I seemed to find my way back to the right fringe on every shot!!
3rd Hole is a par 3 182 from the blues, with over the water carry of 145, not a real big deal except that you have about 100 ft of mangrove left and right of tee box...if your shot is anything but straight you will be in the water....I hit a branch on the left hand side that deflect travel; I ended about 60 yards out in the water...
4th hole form Blues you are looking at 618 yard par 5 that requires about 220 yards off the drive straight out, with very little room for error.. mangroves to the right, and water to the left..at around 240, you have a left and right fairway bunkers that demand a very controlled drive.
8th hole a beautiful 145 yard par 3 with about a 20 to 30 ft elevated green, that slopes down back towards the tee box. This is an incredible hole...you are completely surrounded by vegetation...anything outside of the green will roll down, and there is a mean left side bunker with a 3 ft wall to clear. I was able to get my shot to with in 3 ft to the flag Very rewarding hole.
10th hole amazing...slice off the tee and you end up in the water, adjust your second shot a little left, and you end in water...
12th hole this is the most famous hole of the course....its 155 yards over to water just to get to the edge of the green....I had the distance, was heading straight at the pin...and some how I hooked it at the end (i blame on the wind ), and ended up on the water.
13th, 14th, and 15th are pretty plain by comparison, but worth the challenge. 15th, requires a 145 yard drive to clear mangroves into the open fairway. My first par of the day (par 4)
16th hole has a mean dogleg left, water along the right had side, bunkers to the left of the fairway about 220 out....and terrain ends at about 280. Very nice!!!!!
17th hole 195 yards par 3...incredible, just make sure that you don't stray left or right, as there is not much room for error...any deviation results in lost balls into the mangroves. I hit the distance, with 3h, but was way left...tried to get the the ball...didn't find mine, I say about 8 within reach...then the mosquitoes attacked wow!!!!
18th hole Incredible!!! 485 par 5...reachable in 2 if you are long hitter....careful with the green and green side bunker, as you will have to face some challenging lips to make it out. The green is very long, and tiered the right side of the green will slope towards the bunkers I made it about 50 yards from the green on my second shot...skulled my third into the first sand trap, slapped my way out with my fourth, leaving me with a 45 ft up hill, which a nailed....only to have it slide down to the second green side bunker....on my sixth shot got it out and about 3 footer from the pin, for a short tap....a 7!!!! arg the frustration!!!!!
Bottom line, this is a great course, worth every penny!!!! But a few things to consider....Take lots of balls if you have a HC greater than 20. I lost 7, my buddy lost 14...Use a lot of sunblock and make sure is of a high spf if you plan to play during the noon hours...it's brutally hot, and take it with you for re-applies! Take mosquito repellent in which ever format you like because you will need it...and take a big can because you will have to reapply several times.....tee box on 14 was murder!!!
I had issues with consistency in putting because i felt some green running fast and others slow a several people agreed back at the 19th! Bottom line it was a great experience, one I hope to repeat, but not before putting some buckets of practice first.
Re: Crandon Park, Miami FlLol ...breaking 90!!!! yikes! I played 135, with my adjusted HC of 30.5, the course HC for me would have been 111, so may that's not tooo bad, but it's the second highest score I have ever posted. The first was 143 the very first time I played.
I will need to practice more before I head back.....I started to get into better shape towards the 15th hole, at which time, you can't do anything to save the score!!!

Re: Crandon Park, Miami FlHaven't played there but heard the mosquitos and slow play are a deterrent. The latter is to be expected though considering how big Miami is and how nice that area is.
I also recommend Miami Beach Golf Club which I truly enjoy. Not sure if they have any deals like Crandon but it's well worth the play.

I started volunteering at Crandon a couple of months ago. I'm a Ranger on Saturdays. For 8 hours of volunteer work I get unlimited playing privileges & range balls. Pretty damn sweet deal.
A couple of weeks back we had an extra hazard on the cart path about 200 yards off of the first tee -
My advice when playing this course -
One, it plays longer than what the scorecard says. We are at sea level, the fairways are somewhat soft, and we have a constant breeze, usually from the east (the ocean is only a half mile away). It's 6500 from the whites, which is perfect for me. I see guys going back to the blues (about 6800) and they simply do not have the game to be playing from back there - 6800 will play like 7100. And forget the black (back) tees unless you're a pro. From the back tees it's the third-toughest public course in the country behind Bethpage Black & Torrey South. 76.5 rating, 151 slope.
The wind is blowing harder than you think. What 'appears' to be a one-club wind is more like 2 or even 3. Case in point, the 12th hole - the par 3 over water. The card says 174 from the whites. It plays like 190. Trust me. If you take your 6 iron out there & hit it pure, don't be surprised if your next shot is from the drop area.
It's a second-shot course. Tee areas are pretty generous, but most of the greens are well bunkered. It demands well-struck approach shots.
It's South Florida. The greens are very VERY grainy. Read the grain.

My search-and-archive process was:
- identify those emails with documents attached or containing embedded images;
- save the attachments/images to disk or Gdocs;
- forward the containing emails - but now containing nothing - to myself, adding links or references to where embedded/attached items had been stored.
- delete the original email and its contained/attached items.
The process I used is an ironically manually intensive approach to cleaning out a sophisticated hi-tech computer data storage and retrieval system. It pained me to do it, as I really could have used something that automated aspects of the search-and-archive process to make it more efficient.

I would like a drill a hole through my dining room floor to run a wire. The floor is carpeted, so I pulled back the carpet in the corner to find an old linoleum floor. I attempted to drill a hole through it, but the linoleum seemed to melt and then form an impenetrable barrier. What type of drill bit could I use to get through the linoleum and the wood below?

Maybe a hole saw? I'd say it's worth a shot if you have one - or cheap ones are around $5-10. Otherwise, you could always try cutting with a utility knife until you're past the linoleum. Then drill after you've peeled it back. I doesn't have to be pretty if it's going to be beneath carpet.

In search of a better name for Markup
Many people have commented that "Markup" is a bad name for a project, mainly because it's very difficult to search for using Google et al.
This page should serve to collect the various name suggestions.
Suggested by Christian Boos here:
pyMarkup? Pretty standard for a Python library to have a "py" prefix, and you don't really give up the Markup name. Also, would be pretty straightforward to top google results for it (54 hits so far...).
Response by Christopher Lenz:
I'm not a fan of such prefixed names (WinFoo, KFoo, GFoo, iFoo, etc). IMHO those fall in the "cheesy" category ;-) Exceptions are bindings or Python versions of some product, but otherwise I think it's rather ugly.
See this post by Matt Good to the mailing list:
In relation to the "Goat" suggestion Chris mentioned on IRC "Markhor" which is a type of goat. Incidentally the name comes from the Persian word for "snake eater", so it has a sort-of tie-in to Python. Though as Christian later that O'Reilly is using wild goats on its covers for Ruby on Rails-related books: http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/rubyrails/
In this context, "Goat" was proposed on the thread by Ethan Fremen ("what happens to a kid when it grows up :)".)
Well, I was actually refering to Ruby in a Nutshell, but it appears it's the same goat ;)... -- Christian

Chemtura beats estimates, but bromine weakness persists
3:52 PM MDT | July 30, 2013 | Vincent Valk
Chemtura's second-quarter net income from continuing declined 11% year-on-year (YOY), to $47 million, or 47 cts/share, on sales down 1%, to $735 million, the company says. Adjusted net income declined 25%, to 40 cts/share, but beat analysts' consensus estimate of 37 cts/share, as reported by Thomson Reuters. Chemtura recorded an overall net loss, of $93 million, due to a $146 million loss related to the sale of its antioxidants business. Results were mostly in line with Chemtura's reported preliminary results, issued earlier this month...

Recipe by Campbell's Kitchen
"Mediterranean flavors such as sun-dried tomatoes, kalamata olives, capers, artichoke hearts, tomatoes and white wine simmer together to flavor chicken breasts in this mouthwatering slow-cooker dish."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

2 (10.75 ounce) cans
Campbell's® Condensed Cream of Chicken with Herbs Soup or Campbell's® Condensed Cream of Chicken Soup
1 cup
Chablis or other dry white wine *
1/4 cup
coarsely chopped pitted kalamata or oil-cured olives
2 tablespoons
drained capers
2 cloves
garlic, minced
1 (14 ounce) can
artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
1 cup drained and coarsely chopped sun-dried tomatoes
drained and coarsely chopped sun-dried tomatoes
8 (4 ounce)
skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1/2 cup
chopped fresh basil leaves
Hot cooked rice, egg noodles or mashed potatoes
This was wonderful! So easy to prepare and fairly healthy! The ingredients were things I usually have on-hand and this made a nice, elegant sauce that I would happily serve to guests! Hubby said he would definitely order it again from a restaurant! :-) Even the kids ate it, the flavor was light enough. I also cooked it for 5 hours on HIGH setting and it was very tender. I made this over egg noodles and the chicken breasts fell apart while cooking so it was more of a sauce over noodles with chunks of chicken. Delicious!
Decent - I found it was a little runny, so I added a brick of reduced-fat cream cheese. Much creamier than what I think the recipe intended...but yummier.
79 Ratings
This dish was incredible! The only changes I made were I used Chardonnay instead of Chablis, and I used low fat, low sodium soup. It tasted great and was super creamy. We will definitely make this again!
I really enjoyed this recipe! I used the High setting and the chicken turned out so tender, we didn't even need knives to cut it! The artichokes and kalamatas gave it a really nice flavor. It was great served over rice; we will definitely have this again!
I made this without the cream of chicken soup (sorry, Campbell's) and added some chicken stock to the wine to make sure there was enough liquid to cook. After cooking, I added some goat cheese and cream for the creaminess. It was pretty tasty that way, but next time I'll drain off some of the liquid first to make a thicker sauce. Because it does turn brown after cooking as some people have said -- doesn't really look like the sauce in the picture -- I think next time I'll also add a can of diced fire-roasted tomatoes with the cream and goat cheese at the end, that would add more veggies and make for a more attractive color.
Great. Will add more sun dried tomatoes next time and Parmesan cheese yum
I loved this recipe, it was so easy to do and something different for my crock-pot than a pot roast! I made it as is, except I added mushrooms instead of capers (don't like them). I served it with orzo sprinkled with parmesan cheese. My husband and I really liked this, and my 2 1/2 year old actually ate it too! Definitely a keeper.
This is my favorite dish at a restaurant that is not close to my house. I have been on a quest to find the recipe. I should have known that allrecipes.com would have it. It turned out perfect! The next time, I'll pound out the meat like the restaurant does. Otherwise, I wouldn't change a thing! Thanks allrecipes.com!

|Don't close the door on new social media sites.
For today's task, join one new social media site. I will leave it up to you to decide which new social media site it will be. Maybe Pinterest (the surging dynamo) or possibly Goodreads (popular with writers who love to read--aka, the best kind) or even RedRoom (another popular site for authors).
If you're already signed up on all three of those sites, then heck, I'll give you a free pass today--unless there's a new site you've been meaning to check out (and there probably is if you're already a member of so many social media sites). It's my gift to you for being so proactively experimental.
Click here to check out my Ultimate Guide to Social Media.
To everyone who doesn't want another site to join...
I understand your frustration and exhaustion. During a normal month, I'd never suggest someone sign up for so many social media sites in such a short period of time, but this isn't a normal month. We're in the midst of a challenge!
And no, I don't expect you to spend a lot of time on every social media site you join. That's not always the point when you first sign up. No, you sign up to poke around and see if the site interests you at all. See if you have any natural connections. Try mingling a little bit.
If the site doesn't appeal to you, feel free to let it be for a while. Let me share a story with you.
How I Came to Rock Facebook and Twitter
My Facebook and Twitter accounts both boast more than 5,000 followers (or friends/subscribers) today. But both accounts were originally created and abandoned, because they just weren't right for me at the time that I signed up.
For Facebook, I just didn't understand why I would abandon a perfectly good MySpace account to play around on a site that didn't feature the same level of music and personal blogging that MySpace did. But then, MySpace turned into Spam-opolis, and the rest is history.
For Twitter, I just didn't get the whole Tweet concept, because Facebook already had status updates. Why Tweet when I could update my status on Facebook?
But I've gained a lot professionally and personally from Facebook and Twitter--even though they weren't the right sites for me initially. In fact, Google+ is sort of in that area for me right now. I don't use it near enough, but I started an account, because it just feels like a place that will explode sooner or later. It's not like Facebook is going to be around forever.
Click here to check out the Tangible Power of Social Media.
The Importance of Experimentation
Or as I prefer to think of it: The importance of play. You should constantly try new things, whether in your writing, your social media networks, or the places you eat food. Not only does it make life more exciting and provide you with new experiences and perspective, but it also helps make you a more well-rounded human being.
So don't complain about joining a new social media site. Instead, embrace the excuse to try something new, especially when there are only three more tasks left this month (and I promise no more new sites after today).
Connect with me on Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn. Plus, sign up for free e-mail updates from this blog in the top right-hand corner of the page.
Learn About Platform, the Back Door Way.
This live webinar is set for May 24 (2012) and will be taught by one of my favorite presenters: C. Hope Clark! If you've never attended a presentation by Hope, you'll be amazed by the overwhelming wave of information with which she'll flood you. She's amazing. Plus, all registrants will receive a personalized critique on their personal projects, which is an amazing deal in and of itself.

2 tablespoons
olive oil
1 1/2 pounds
peeled and seeded butternut squash , cut into 1-inch chunks
1 large
onion, cut into large dice
1 tablespoon
1 pinch
3 large
garlic cloves, thickly sliced
1 1/2 teaspoons
1 teaspoon
ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon
ground cloves
1/8 teaspoon
cayenne pepper
3 cups
chicken broth, homemade or from a carton or can
1 1/2 cups
half-and-half (or whole milk)
Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
Garnish: store-bought apple chips
This soup was fantastic. I'm not sure how much my squash weighed, but I think it was less than what this recipe called for. I halved, seeded, and placed my squash half side down in a pan with nonstick spray, and baked on 375 for about 40-45 minutes. This is so much easier than peeling and cutting it raw. The consistancy will be mushier and moist, so when its in the pan it will not brown. I also slow cooked this recipe because I fell in love with the smell! When it came to adding the broth, I HIGHLY recommend that you slowly add this ingredient because depending on the size of your squash, this much broth may be the reason some of your soups came out watery. I would add it until its like a chunky applesauce. Then, while blending, add some cream and pulse your blender until it resembles traditional applesauce. I then put the soup back into the pan on a low simmer and chopped up apples, paper thin, and added them. I simmered this, allowing the apples to soften and absorb the flavor. If you are going to add apples, I advise you to add them after you puree, the apple pieces really finish off this dish. Again, fantastic!
Followed the recipe exactly. Would probably give this 3.5 stars. I think I would have just appreciated a sweeter end result, as echoed by my husband. I think I am going to heat up the leftovers and add some brown sugar to sweeten it up a bit. Was a lot of fun to make though, very easy directions to follow, and the kitchen smelled like a perfect autumn fragrance.

Delish! Since roasting the squash (cut side down, 400 degrees, 45 mins) helps keep in the nutrients, i roasted the squash, then followed the recipe exactly. It was incredible.
I have made this soup twice now and it is wonderful! I dropped a star not because of the soup itself, but simply because the descriptions of the steps in the recipe seemed to me misleading and thus confusing. What I mean is that descriptions of what the vegetables should look like at different steps in the process, i.e. "golden brown," "spotty caramel color," never happened when I made it, no matter how long I let it cook at that stage. So after waiting long enough for these color changes I would simply move on, and the soup still turned out great.
This might have been the best thing that I have ever made. It was our first course at our Thanksgiving meal and it got absolute raves from everyone (including my 5 year old!) I mostly followed the recipe except I only used 1 tsp of cinnamon instead of 1 1/2tsp (although the full amount probably would have been fine, I worried that it was too much). I was very lucky that I had all the veggies from our local organic CSA and I used my own chicken stock. I also added leeks because I had them, as well as a sprig of fresh thyme. I used a quart of chicken stock and about 2 lbs of butternut squash. It made a good consistency soup that needed almost no half and half at all (I probably used about 1/2 cup). The cayenne gave this a wonderful kick. I garnished with fresh thyme instead of apple chips. My family said that it was "restaurant quality" soup. It is a great recipe that I am sure will become a T-day tradition in our house.
This was fantastic! I made it with a few variations though. I substituted fat free 1/2 and 1/2 for the regular, and added four tablespoons of butter instead of one to make it richer. Louisiana Cajun spice (just a 1/2 tblsp) and a dash of nutmeg made it delish!!!
I had a similar soup at the Princeville resort in Kauai and decided I was going to figure out how to make it. I followed the directions except used heavy cream in place of the half-and-half (may as well go all out), added about 1 tsp of curry, and added blue cheese on top as a garnish. WOW!!! We gave it 10 stars!!!!
Absolutely lovely. I left out the cloves (didn't have any), and cooked it a little longer than recommended (got sidetracked). This turned out to be a good thing, because when I got back to it, it could be blended with a potato masher- way less mess than a blender. It was a hit with my husband and the friends we were sharing with- everyone wanted the recipe. I'll definately make again.

The Community of Disc Golfers and About All Things Disc Golf
Happy St.Pattys day everybody. Just wanted to let you all know about a lil shop we just opened on Monday up here in Lansing, Michigan. Were a unique boutique and gallery located at the corner of St. Joe & Waverly in Lansing, Mi.
We have a nice lil disc shop carrying Discraft, Innova, Latitude 64, DGA, Millenium, Gateway, MVP, and More! We also carry the art and creations of local & Michigan artists. Natural and organic herbs, glass, custom dyes, decals, and lots of other cool stuff. If your ever in this neck of the woods feel free to stop by and say hi!
Views: 657
Sweet. Stop in any time 10-7 closed on Sundays. We have lots of goodies with more stuff on the way. Trying to get a little groove going over on the west side of Lansing. We can use all the help we can get. We are with in a 5 min drive to Grand Woods right off 496
625 S Waverly Rd
Suite D
Lansing, Mi
(right by QD in Waverly Plaza)
Stop on in!
Sounds good to me. I'm always glad to help those who are willing to chase the dream (sorry if that sounded a lil corny.)
I'm currently cooking up some exciting stuff for the disc golf scenes between the Greater GR and Greater Lansing Areas. In many ways, I could prove to be beneficial for your establishment :)
Yes, I am working on putting a course in BB. I'm also working on series of courses for Ionia State Rec. and also I am going to be starting a league/fund raising matches at a private course in Ionia. I do remember you giving me your buddies contact, but the logo doesn't ring a bell.
anyways, lots of growth for the W Lansing and E Grand Rapids areas. If you are interested in any of the above, let me know. I want to start the fund raising matches by the first weekend in April.
FYI: the private course is sweet, and with some work, has the potiental to be the next Blue Gill.

Gallery: First Algae-Powered Car Attempts to Cross US on 25 Gallons
Just yesterday San Francisco saw the unveiling of the world's first algae fuel-powered vehicle, dubbed the Algaeus. The plug-in hybrid car, which is a Prius tricked out with a nickel metal hydride battery and a plug, runs on green crude from Sapphire Energy — no modifications to the gasoline engine necessary. The set-up is so effective, according to FUEL producer Rebecca Harrell, that the Algaeus can run on approximately 25 gallons from coast to coast!
"Powering our cars with algae-based fuel could be the next Apollo mission." That's what Rebecca Harrell, co-founder of the Veggie Van Organization and producer of the upcoming film FUEL, told me yesterday in front of San Francisco's City Hall. Over the next 10 days she'll be joined by Fuel director and Veggie Van Organization cofounder Josh Tickell as they take the Algaeus, along with a caravan of other green energy vehicles (including the Veggie Van and the biodiesel-powered big green energy bus), on a cross-country road trip. "It hit us that we needed to drive the car across the country," Harrell said. "People think of algae fuel as this long-term, far off thing. But seeing is believing."
And of course, the cross-country tour will also serve to promote FUEL, a film about America's ongoing dependence on foreign oil. Unlike many environmentally-themed films that serve up upsetting bits of information without offering concrete solutions (An Inconvenient Truth, anyone?), FUEL discusses the ways that we can transition away from oil right now. "What's important for everyday people is information. People don't say 'Can you give me something else to be scared about?' They say, 'How can I get my car to run on algae fuel?', Tickell explained.
Green crude won't be sold at your local gas station any time soon — Sapphire Energy is ramping up production of algae-based jet fuel this year, with plans to produce 2 million gallons of algae-based diesel fuel each year in the next two years–but eventually the company expects that green crude will be cost-competitive with fossil fuels. And while the Algaeus only runs on a 5% blend of algae fuel, Harrell and Tickell hope that the vehicle can prove to consumers that green fuel solutions are on the horizon. "Up until now the environmental movement has been reactionary. We have no discourse about energy," Tickell said." And we want to shift that."
FUEL will be released in New York City, San Francisco, Berkeley, and Washington DC on September 18th.

algea will be the fuel of the future, the thing is americans have to make all things too expensive to be worth it! u don't need all fancy equipment to get high yield… i mean i read somewhere that they had 25 million dollar to build 1 photobioreactor(where they make algea). i mean my god! this will get into the open market when the chinese or malaysians make it with a 250 thousand dollar photobioreactor that gives more yield than the expensive american ones… i am making in my lab with more yield than those expensive ones built there in the US. but this is defenetly the future of fuel(maybe in 20+ years)

Great commentary! I just blogged about it and used several of them. The algae-fueled Hypemobile keeps rolling along. Wonder how it will be received in NYC. The cross-country promotion got high media mileage, but low credibility. http://bit.ly/weigs

This is just hype for the movie. It's amazing how many media have been sucked in by the algae label on the car. I like the comment about substituting the algae fuel for the same amount of water and you call the car the Aqua-us!

I agree with Dead_Unicorns. If they're going to use just 5% algae in the fuel, fine — but then they shouldn't claim that the car is "powered by green crude" and paint a big "powered by ALGAE" sign on the side.
We need real green tech, not phony marketing ploys. This stunt could do more to discredit green technology than promote it. Some people will look at this, find out the truth, and conclude that biofuels are a hoax. Sad, because biofuels are actually a good idea that just hasn't quite arrived yet.

I have high hopes for algae, until it takes over the world due to Global you know… Hmmmmmm Global-you-know.

Thanks, Laura!
Charles is available for adoption in Toronto!
Disapproved of by Bill at 8:36 PM
"Oi! Hoomin! Get back! Forget it! You're not having any of my Baileys!"
I wouldn't be surprised if poor Charles needs a bit of a drink to calm him down after having to deal with hoomins.
Mind you, I wouldn't mind being woken up by Charles hopping up onto me, and up my chest, to find Charles there with a little wooden barrel around his neck, containing some Bailey's to help me "recover"!
The "St. Charles" rescue bunneh!
Charles says to come a little closer, he has a kiss for us. An Irish Kiss.
Charles is not in the mood to share that, is he now?
Snakes.....hoomins....same difference. Being driven into the Irish Sea is no less than hoomins deserve! And we'd better not clutter up the shore with our corpses; that would be most inconvenient.
Charles is available for adoption through Toronto Animal Services! Quick! Hurry! He can disapprove of you in the comfort of your own home (which of course he will allow you to live in after he arrives. He's unaccountably generous that way.)
Those Himalayans are THE BEST SNUGGLERS EVER! Hurry and adopt him before he's spoken for! You will not regret it one tiny bit! They are a dream come true! Such big, lovey babies! And, their feetsies are huuuuuge and well ... everything about them is quite sturdy ... ! Love to you Charles!!
I totally agree with you Himmi's are the best but then we are biased aren't we sixbunnies,xx Speedy's mum Rachel

Deep Space Chronicle: A Chronology of Deep Space and Planetary Probes 1958-2000, Monographs in Aerospace History No. 24, by Asif A. Siddiqi
National Space Science Data Center, http://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/
The Mars Polar Lander (MPL) was one of NASA's Mars Surveyor missions that called for a series of small, low-cost spacecraft for sustained exploration of Mars. MPL's primary goal was to deploy a lander and two penetrators (known as Deep Space 2) on the surface of Mars to extend our knowledge on the planet's past and present water resources. The objective was to explore the never-before-studied carbon dioxide icecap about 1,000 kilometers from the south pole.
The mission called for recording local meteorological conditions, analyzing samples of polar deposits, and taking multispectral images of local areas. MPL was to have performed its mission simultaneously with that of the Mars Climate Orbiter, which would have acted as a communications relay during its surface operations.
MPL itself comprised a bus section (for power, propulsion and communications during the outbound voyage) and a 290-kilogram lander that stood 1.06 meters tall on the ground. The lander was equipped with a 2-meter-long remote arm to dig into the terrain and investigate the properties of Martian soil (using the thermal and evolved gas analyzer).
MPL was supposed to arrive at Mars on 3 December 1999. After atmospheric entry, about 10 minutes prior to landing, the spacecraft was to jettison its cruise stage and solar panels and then release the two 3.572-kilogram (each) Deep Space 2 microprobes. Unlike Mars Pathfinder, MPL was scheduled to make a completely controlled landing using retro-rockets all the way to the surface. Landing was scheduled for 21:03 UT on 3 December 1999, with two-way communications planned to begin 20 minutes later.
The two Deep Space 2 microprobes (renamed Amundsen and Scott on 15 November 1999), meanwhile, would impact the ground at a speed of 200 meters per second at about 50 to 85 seconds prior to the lander's touchdown about 100 kilometers away. Each penetrator was designed to obtain a small sample of subsurface soil using an electric drill for analysis. The microprobes' mission was expected to last about 36 hours, while the lander mission would continue until 1 March 2000.
Contact with MPL was lost at 20:00 UT on 3 December, about 6 minutes prior to atmospheric entry. With no communications for over two weeks, on 16 December 1999, NASA used the Mars Global Surveyor orbiting Mars to look for signs of the lander on the Martian surface, but the search proved fruitless. On 17 January 2000, NASA finally terminated all attempts to establish contact with the lost lander.
An independent investigation into the failure, whose results were released publicly on 28 March 2000, indicated that the most probable cause of the failure was the generation of spurious signals when the lander's legs deployed during the descent. These signals falsely indicated that the spacecraft had touched down on Mars when in fact it was still descending. The main engines prematurely shut down, and the lander fell to the Martian landscape.

Hey Guy , Gals: Do any of you folks have plans for making a nice looking locking mail box? My parents live on a busy street and asked me to make em a mail box that will hold a good bit of magazines and small packages that will lock. I will need to mount it on a post that could be put in the ground or bolted on a small concrete pad. Open for metal options too. Any help greatly appreciated. Been reading this site for couple of weeks and have to say I am impressed with the decent people on here. Thanks much!! KT

Hey that is a great idea . I think I could work something out with a large dia.pipe. I have to laugh the little vandals are prob pouting over broken bats! Thanks much. I will post a picture once I make up my mind on how to do this.

Really ?
I had about 5 incidents concerning my mailbox. The first was, of course, someone skidding out of control and knocking the arm (4X4") off the post. Then stole the box. Then the vandals started - ball bat to new box. Then stole the box. Then firebombed the box with a can of starting fluid outside; and then road fuzee in the box with another can of starting fluid. Then stole the box again.
I talked with the postmistress about it and she said that there was nothing she could do, that I would have to call the shurf and file a complaint. Did that twice.
I asked Ms mistress what kind of box/post I could put up that wouldn't be stole/damaged. She said that nothing more than a 4x4; after all, you wouldn't want to hurt them if they ran off the road and hit your box. I said, "I want them to be killed if they hit my box". I got a dirty look. I then said "What difference will it make if they hit my box and get killed, or if they hit the BIG oak tree right next to the box and get killed ? They willl be just as dead. And I want the vandals to be hurt so badly that they will think twice about screwing with mailboxes.
I got another dirty look.
Screw her....
I built a box out of a piece of 13 inch well casing, 3/8 inch thick, mounted on a piece of 4 inch well casing. I tried shooting it with my 45 from 6 feet. It only put a smudge on the box. Next I shot the flag with the 45. Another smudge.
Six months later, someone skidded down the hill and hit my box. They only displaced the base (concrete buried 3 feet deep) about 5 degrees, which I was able to pull back straight up with a 4 ton come-along hooked to my truck.
Don't worry about postmasters. Build the box so it is essentially "BULLETPROOF" and sleep better at night.
And the mailman (actually, a woman) did compliment me on my new box. And the lawyer down the road wants me to build him one ! So I'm building a beetter one one out of quarter inch diamond plate for me and he'll 'inherit' my well casing box.
P.S. If another car (or drunken pick 'em up truck) downs my box, I'll go to a 6 inch casing filled with concrete. (to protect that oak tree, ya know)

I had a shop teacher in high school that kept having mail boxes damaged. He went and bought a $8 sheetmetal box at the local store, filled the bottom 3/4 of it with concrete, and mounted it as usual.
Of course a NEW box is the most fun for the kids to bash, right?
It was about a week till he went to check the mail and there was a lot of glass around his mailbox. It turns out that when the kids were hanging out of the car window with the bat and hit his box, the bat bounced back and put out their rear door window.

you would have to make it so it auto locks when the door is shut. so it would be left open a little till the mail man puts in the mail then shuts it and it locks. or have some sort of easy to lock systen that the mail man/woman can lock when done installing the mail. you could use a standerd door type lock with a key, not the kind with a handel just the flat lock that locks when closed. i'll have to find a pic if you dont get the idea of the lock i'm talking about. here is a badly drawn version.LOL generaly mounts abouve the standerd knob/lock in place of a dead bolt or in adition to. again it would have to be left open untill the mail man got there if the kids shut it befor the mail man gets there he wont be able to get in to diliver the mail. the other option would be make a trap door like the post box on the corner or in front of the post office that alows the mail to drop in but not be taken out.
good luck , let us know what you end up with.thanks for the help
hope i helped
feel free to shoot me an e-mail direct i have time to chat. email@example.com

I'm guessing that the postman(woman) carrys just a small number of keys that will fit every lockbox in town. Just need to pin the lock to fit one of the keys he(she) already has. You can always ask him(her). However, he(she) will still have to get his(her) key out to unlock the box and that may be asking too much of some postmen(women) out there.
