The Standard Concepts of Outsourcing
Outsourcing is truly not a new company effort that companies simply started to use. It has actually been around for a long time. It's simply that in the recent years, the suggestion has become a lot more famous as well as in a sense it's a whole lot suitable in today's global market. With the introduction of the Net and also the appearance of different sourcing companies all over the world, outsourcing has become more profitable and attractive to companies aiming to minimize costs and enhance manufacturing and performance.
Outsourcing is a business strategy that numerous companies adapt in order to employ sources outside the business itself. These outside resources are hired to do particular functions to assist the firm raise its performance, boost efficiency, and/or help bring in even more company. Yet the main reason that companies contract out particular operations to outdoors events is the capacity to minimize production prices. Whether you like it or not, contracting out specific processes and operations is significantly cheaper compared to having to do every little thing in-house.
With outsourcing, some of the standard functions and process normally handled by inner resources are delegated to 3rd party specialists who possess specialized abilities and talents to do the work more successfully. Item manufacturing, as an example, can be contracted out to a manufacturing facility in China equipped with the most up to date devices to produce top-notch items for less expense. In this situation, you as well as your core staff members can concentrate on various other elements of business while a team of professionals handle the even more recurring as well as labor extensive part of the production procedure. The have to employ very trained workers is reduced as well as buying topnotch manufacturing tools is properly eliminated, not to mention the reduced labor as well as overhead expenses.
As formerly discussed, among the driving forces for outsourcing is cost cutting. Today's marketplace is tough as well as really competitive. In order for your company to make it through and also succeed, you have to have the ability to reduce expenses as well as boost your manufacturing outcome. And also the best way to do that is via outsourcing. Another motivating pressure for outsourcing is the far better use of your staying available information. It's everything about delegation. When you have a group of extremely certified specialists doing a few of the processes and also procedures for you, you could focus your remaining sources on the various other aspects of your business. You can provide much better quality service, assistance, and/or concentrate much more on your advertising and marketing approaches.
Outsourcing has actually touched every market worldwide, from females's underwear to business processing. Nowadays, outsourcing has actually exceeded virtually all fields: airline companies, insurance, financial, vehicle, clothing, food handling, drugs, telecoms, and so on. And also the country that has one of the largest manufacturing markets in the world is China. In the past decade, almost every product in the consumer market was contracted out to a maker in China with worldwide sourcing. China has among one of the most innovative and extremely efficient manufacturing facilities in the world, which is why most firms seeking to outsource manufacturing usually find themselves hiring a sourcing company in China.

For the second time in as many games, junior forward Jennifer George produced a huge game in a Florida win. George was one of four Gators in double-digits, as the Gators knocked off No. 19 Florida State 71-57.
The win was the Gators' first against a ranked team since a 64-53 victory at home against Arkansas last January. For Amanda Butler, it was the first home win against Florida State since she became head coach of the Gators.
"It's special because, obviously, I'm a Gator and I understand the intensity of the rivalry. But I couldn't be happier for our seniors to be able in their senior year to win at home and to win in this fashion in front of that crowd," Butler said.
While four Gators finished in double-digits offensively, it was the defense of the Gators that won the game. Containing Cierra Bravard, a Preseason All-ACC First Team player, was the focus for the Gators for most of the night.
Bravard lived up to expectations, finishing with a game-high 22 points. However, the interior defense of the Gators made Bravard work for everything she got during the course of the night.
The battle inside between Bravard and Azania Stewart was particularly chippy, as the two fought for position in the paint throughout the evening. This constant battle seemed to have an effect on Bravard. While she continued to rack up points, she also racked up fouls. She had already committed four fouls when, with just fewer than four minutes to play, she and Stewart got tangled up underneath the Florida State basket. Both players received technical fouls on the play. For Bravard, it was her fifth foul, disqualifying her from the game.
"I was just fighting for the ball," Bravard said. "It wasn't anything personal or anything dirty, that's what I do."
For Stewart, the response of Bravard was something the team had seen in their scouting report.
"She would push and get out of control sometimes," Stewart said. "It was just exciting we [got] her off the floor."
The excitement of Stewart was obvious, as she immediately flashed a smile to teammate Jaterra Bonds.
The play of Bonds was another bright spot for the Gators. She had struggled in both of the team's first two games against Michigan and Stetson. on Thursday night, she found the offensive rhythm she had lacked for much of the other two games. She finished with 14 points of her own, with five made shots totaling more than she connected on in the first two games combined.
"It felt good after struggling [in] two games to get back into the groove, and I felt comfortable out there," Bonds said. "My game and my confidence felt good after I kept seeing the ball go in."
For a shooter like Bonds, sometimes just connecting on the opening shot can be what ends a slump.
"When I made that first shot, it felt good," she said. "When I hit that one, I said to myself, okay it's going to be a good day."
For the Gators, it was a good day. While slow starts had left the Gators trailing for much of the first-half in their previous two games, tonight was different. Against Florida State, the Gators were able to hit shots early and often. Their 41-27 lead at the half represented the first halftime lead of the season for UF.
The difference of 14 to finish the game represented the largest lead of the night for the Gators. FSU never lead in the game.
"They battled, and I thought they had a 'we are not going to let this slip away from us attitude'," Butler said.
Such a dominating performance by her team was not something that surprised the coach, but something she knew could happen if everyone did their job.
"As a coach, one of the most rewarding things is when someone does their job," she said.
The next chance for the Gators to continue to build momentum off their win against the Seminoles comes Tuesday. The Gators (2-1, 0-0) will host Hampton in the final game of their four-game home stand at 7 p.m.

Dragon Age II Challenges You To "Choose Your Champion" In New Trailer
BioWare has just released an all-new Dragon Age II trailer called "Champion". This trailer features the three classes in the game: Warrior, Rogue, Mage; and the different gameplay styles of each. I won't lie, I wasn't too intrigued by the original Dragon Age, but Dragon Age II definitely has my full attention and if it doesn't have yours it will after this trailer. Of the three classes that are shown in the trailer I think I am going to go with Rogue myself, but Mage looks to be extremely powerful as well. As you can see the game only has three classes which I think is more than enough, but I am sure of you wish it had more.Dragon Age II launches on March 8, 2011 in North America on Xbox 360, PS3, PC and Mac. Get a sneak peek and hands-on with the Dragon Age II demo that launches on February 22, 2011.

Mighty Avengers #34
- Story by
- Dan Slott
- Art by
- Andrew Currie, Andrew Hennessy, and Neil Edwards
- Colors by
- John Rauch
- Letters by
- Dave Lanphear
- Cover by
- Khoi Pham
- Publisher
- Marvel Comics
When people talk about events ruining the plans of writers, that's something Marvel has been trying to avoid in the past few years. But it still comes through somewhat in "Mighty Avengers" #34, which offers a resolution of sorts to Loki's posing as the Scarlet Witch in the title. The actions in this issue seem designed to conclude the plot while also not interfering with where Loki is in "Siege." If this was the planned endpoint, I would be very surprised; It's not a good way to conclude this subplot.
The issue begins with Thor heeding Loki's call for help and travelling to the Isle of Silence, a dimension that Loki had been banished to by Odin and now uses as a 'summer home' of sorts. There, he finds the Mighty Avengers with a trapped Loki who is injured and completely at their mercy. From there, we see how Loki and the Avengers found themselves in this precarious position. How they got there is logical and well executed with the team spurred on by Quicksilver to deal with the trickster god and, possibly, discover where the real Scarlet Witch is.
Where the story falls apart is Thor's arrival, which quickly devolves into violence and not a hint of explanation from any Avengers beyond some vague statements like "You don't understand." Thor comes off as somewhat naïve and elitist; the naïvete comes off as accidental, while the elitism is purposeful. Thor's position is that no one can sit in judgment of Loki but fellow gods. That's a side of him that doesn't come out often, particularly when it comes to his fellow heroes and former teammates. That he is so quick to defend Loki and attack the Avengers without waiting for an explanation asks us to forget the numerous acts that Loki has committed against Thor, especially recent events in "Thor." Thor's view point is somewhat understandable, but Slott rushes the scenes and skips over a few pieces of dialogue that could have made it read much more smoothly.
Neil Edwards brings a Bryan Hitch art style to the comic, but that includes some of Hitch's worst traits like odd facial expressions that don't match the dialogue. If you look at the first page of the issue, the panel with Donald Blake has him wearing a goofy expression that doesn't fit what's going on at all, a habit that doesn't change in Edwards' art throughout the issue. It's not all bad, as he expresses strong emotions like rage in his art effectively and the action scenes are fluid. But, those positives are undercut by an unpolished look where figures don't look completely rendered. Edwards shows promise and works as a fill-in artist, but he's still got a long way to go.
"Mighty Avengers" #34 offers the conclusion to a long-running subplot in the book, but it's rushed and not executed strongly. Loki's presence is required in "Siege" and that story takes precedence, understandably. The issue ends with a big cliffhanger that offers hope for future issues, but this issue is sloppy and a let down.

Can Anyone Topple The Blade?
Dexter Jackson, Discusses His 2009 Mr. Olympia Plans.
A man famous for his incredible, unmatched conditioning (he is known as 'The Blade', for obvious reasons), Dexter Jackson never fails to bring the most shredded physique to any show he enters. But such consistency comes at a cost and behind every success is a well-planned and meticulously executed method of attack.

View More Pics Of Dexter Jackson At The 2008 Olympia.
In the following interview, for the very first time in such detail, you will learn what Mr. Dexter Jackson promises to do with the Olympian physique he has spent the last decade sculpting to perfection come September 2009 - namely, annihilate the opposition.
Not only known for his razor sharp conditioning, Dexter, previously a bantamweight weighing a mere 138 pounds in competition shape, has achieved one the largest muscular physiques ever seen on a five foot six frame.
Combined with his freakish symmetry and ultra-small bone structure, his 237 pounds of contest conditioned, striated muscle lends the appearance of one who is much larger. Onstage these combined qualities are very hard to beat, making Jackson a bodybuilding force to be reckoned with, and one of only 12 men to attain the lofty position of Mr. Olympia.
Into his fourth decade and having made most of his size gains between 2004 and 2008, while displaying greater definition year by year, Dexter has learned much about what it takes to progress from the smallest of competitive classes to becoming the best in the world regardless of bodyweight.
In this Bodybuilding.com exclusive he shares what he has planned for his competition as he prepares to defend his Mr. Olympia title for the first time, and what being Mr. O means to him.
What Dexter discloses in the following interview suggests he has just the right combination of qualities to retain his title in 2009, to make it number two for bodybuilding's Mr. Consistency. Whether he can defeat newcomers Phil Heath, Kai Greene and perennial threat Victor Martinez, however, remains to be seen.
As the 2009 Mr. Olympia competition approaches, Dexter is again preparing to compete with the world's best. This time around, though, he promises to bring his largest and most ripped package yet, a perfect melding of his usual Arnold Classic conditioning and shape with the size gains he had made for the 2008 Mr. Olympia, where he was at his largest competitive bodyweight ever.
To throw down with probably the strongest field ever to contest the world's largest bodybuilding event, The Blade will need every ounce of muscle, every shred of definition. But one thing is certain: Dexter is one man never to take a backwards step. And on this basis alone no one can rule him out.
[ David Robson ] Hello Mr. Jackson. As defending champion, how much pressure is on you going into this year's Mr. Olympia, and who would be your closest competition?
[ Dexter Jackson ] I wouldn't say there's a lot of pressure. We have a lot of excellent guys entering the show, don't get me wrong, and the competition is going to be very stiff, but I believe that if I come in like I am capable of coming in then I don't feel I should have any problem winning again.

I would have to say the top three will be myself, Phil and probably either Kai or Victor. But I just focus on my own game, and don't worry about what everybody else is doing.
[ DR ] As the 2009 Mr. Olympia approaches you are not curious about who might be your toughest competition and what might occur on the day of the show?
[ DJ ] Well I think Phil will be my toughest competition to be honest with you because when I won the Olympia I really changed the sport with my shape and conditioning, and I feel Phil is the next guy when it comes to that. He is hard as well and has a good physique, so I think, given that, it will boil down to either Phil or myself.
I do think it will be just like last year, I have made some changes but not a whole lot. I did have a whole year off so I think it will come down to how it was last year, given that we have both improved. But I think my overall package and muscle maturity will help me to win it this year. My goal was to come in the same size as last year but with my (2008) Arnold conditioning. If I can do that I should have no problem winning.

[ DR ] Many have said that in 2008 you brought to the Olympia the best combination of cuts, size and shape of any competitor for quite some time. Do you feel you need to bring anything different to the Olympia stage now that you are champ? Do the judges now need to see marked improvements from you with each passing year?
[ DJ ] Well, like I said, I will bring the same package, but a tighter package. We brought in a bigger package last year - we brought an Olympia package, which means I sacrificed just a little bit of conditioning for the extra size.
I was still conditioned, don't get me wrong, but I was a little more conditioned for the Arnold, but smaller. So I'm trying to put both of those (size and conditioning) together for this year's Olympia - the size with the razor sharp conditioning that I usually display. The weight I added for last year's Olympia wasn't a whole lot, maybe two or three pounds. But I was a lot fuller for the Olympia than I was for the Arnold.

[ DR ] Will you have improved any weak points on your physique for this year's Olympia?
[ DJ ] I'm pretty well rounded and everything is there
symmetry-wise on my physique so there is no need for me to try and focus on one body part. I try to focus on the whole instead of certain body parts. Of course winning the Mr. Olympia is my ultimate goal: keeping my title.
I'm not doing anything differently to last year. But what has given me an advantage is being able to take a whole year off to train, and to let my body relax from all that dieting all year. So I think I'm going to bring a real clean package because of that year off. I just feel that is it is not broke then don't try to fix it. I pretty much always try to stick to what I've always done and to make a few changes where needed.
[ DR ] For the past decade you have basically been unmatched as far as bringing the best conditioning to each contest you enter. With such conditioning combined with your symmetry and proportion, do you feel these qualities are what will win big contests from now on? Are these qualities the key to winning?
[ DJ ] Oh yeah, those are the keys to winning because it's not about mass any more. It's all about symmetry, definition, conditioning. Everything has to be on point in order to win the show. And that goes for anybody; anybody in the top five can win the show, so you really have to be 100 percent.

[ DR ] We have seen a succession of Mr. Olympia winners' known for their massive size probably above all else. With yourself being crowned the champ, with a combination of desirable qualities, including the best conditioning and shape - not just size - do you feel that you have started a new era for professional bodybuilding?
[ DJ ] Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying. It's all about shape and conditioning now, it's not about who is the biggest guy, who is tallest or more massive. It's not about that any more. And it has to continue; it (professional bodybuilding) will never go back to the mass guys again.
If you want the sport to change and get better then you have to have a more feasible physique. You need an example where people can say, "I would like to look like this guy." Not everybody can be a mass monster. So in order for the sport to grow it's going to have to stay this way.
Blade Quote: "It (professional bodybuilding) will never go back to the mass guys again. If you want the sport to change and get better then you have to have a more feasible physique." Dexter Jackson on current bodybuilding trends.
[ DR ] How long do you feel you will compete at the elite level and, should you fail to win the 2009 Mr. Olympia, will you compete in the 2010 Arnold Classic in an attempt to equal Flex Wheeler's four Arnold wins?
[ DJ ] I'm giving myself about another four or five years, until I'm ready to hang it up. Or until I feel I'm not competitive any more. As long as I'm at the top, I have no problems staying there. Even if I don't win the Olympia this year, but place in the top three, I'm still not going to retire. And yeah, for sure I would like to come back and tie
Flex Wheeler's record. But that's not the game plan.

The game plan is to win (the 2009 Olympia). And having the title (Mr. Olympia) separates me from Flex Wheeler and
Shawn and
Kevin Levrone and some of the other best guys who have never won it. So that's what sets me apart from those guys. I've got a title and we can always joke with each other.
Flex has four Arnold titles, but now I've got one Olympia title so that crosses out all the Arnold titles (laughs). And that's my next goal. Who knows, after winning this year's Olympia I might come back and do the Arnold next year? But I do want to get one more Arnold win: that's my goal, to tie that record.
Blade Quote: "As long as I'm at the top, I have no problems staying there." Dexter Jackson on his perceived longevity as a professional bodybuilder.
[ DR ] And as far as your 2009 game plan is concerned, have you needed to make any changes to create the superior package you spoke of earlier?
[ DJ ] I have really just
focused on making sure I get all my meals in on time for the whole year straight. I've never been able to do that. Even with my traveling (this time) I have made sure I've eaten what I needed to and done everything I was supposed to to a T. And I was able to get bigger than I have ever been this year: I was 258 pounds. And I think your off-season
training and work is what determines how much better you are going to be for the year.
I had a good off-season so I think this is going to be one of the best packages I have put together for a long time, or maybe my best because I'll be bigger with my conditioning. I will look to be about 237 pounds, somewhere around there. It has always been hard for me to put on muscle, but two or three pounds of muscle a year is a lot on my frame. And that was my goal: not to rush it and not to put too much weight on at one time.
I wanted to do it slowly. That's why I'm still in the game after 11 years and why I won the Mr. Olympia at age 40. People don't know when my peak is because I'm still getting better every year.

[ DR ] How do you achieve and maintain such phenomenal conditioning year in and year out?
[ DJ ] It's all about
recording your numbers; it's all about knowing where you are at from year to year, from week to week. And recording your numbers will allow you to do that. So when I'm 10, eight, seven, or however many weeks we are talking out from a competition, I can always look back and say, "Well, in 2008 this is where my fat (body fat pounds) was at that time: I need to be either there now or better than that now."
So there's no guessing, there's no looking in the mirror and saying, "I look great" but not knowing exactly where your numbers are. So I know exactly where my numbers are at all times and I know that if I can get there, to get my numbers to where I was when I was at my best, I will be at my best again. So that's why I never have a problem coming in shape. According to the numbers it is a no-lose situation.
If you record the numbers you know exactly where you are going to be and what you need to get down to. If from one week to the next I see I am behind schedule and need to pick my cardio up or cut back on the carbohydrates a little bit it is hard to just guess where I'm supposed to be at without these details recorded. So with the numbers I know exactly where I'm supposed to be at all times.
Pounds of fat are the main thing I look at: making sure I get my pounds of fat down to a certain percentage. It's not about body fat percentage; it's all about the pounds of fat.
My trainer Joe McNeil taught me that. We have been working together for about six or seven years now. He's not working with me this year - we parted ways. But I've learned so much from him that it is a breeze for me to do it myself. I'm doing everything on my own now.

[ DR ] Your first contest win was as a bantamweight. Did you, at that point, imagine that you would one day be standing on the Mr. Olympia stage along with the best professional bodybuilders in the world?
[ DJ ] No, I never did. It never even crossed my mind at that time. It took year after year of getting better and better and better and many changes before I felt I could become a good pro and begin making money in this sport. I think when I won the USA as a light heavyweight in '95 I thought I could make a good living in this sport.
I didn't feel I could win the Mr. Olympia until '08 after I won my third Arnold title. That is when I felt I could do it. But the Arnold has always been the show I wanted to win because that has always been a dream show for me. So when I first won that I felt I had achieved everything I wanted in bodybuilding.
Back then, Ronnie was here and Jay was here. And it's always been a big man sport so being Mr. Olympia never crossed my mind; it has always been a big man sport since I have been in the sport.
Even when I won my second Arnold I couldn't imagine me winning the Olympia. Like I said, it was not until after I won my third Arnold in '08 that I felt I could win the Olympia - (held) the same year.

[ DR ] Can you outline the events leading up to your 2008 Olympia win?
[ DJ ] Well that year everything fell into place. Victor was out. I came back and won the (Arnold) title. Because Victor was hurt he wasn't able to do the Olympia. And I won the Arnold so I was the man to challenge Jay. And to be honest Jay hadn't been at his best in two years and I didn't feel he could do it in '08 as well. That's when my trainer and I were like, "Okay, we can win this show." So that's when I started believing I could win the show, after my third Arnold win in '08.
[ DR ] And of course Kai Greene was the 2009 Arnold winner. Clearly he is another guy in the running for an Olympia title should be bring his best package. How would you assess his physique and chances of winning the Mr. Olympia?
[ DJ ] I think he is going to do very well. I heard he was very big in the off-season so we will have to see how he comes in this year. He always surprises people with his size and shape. So we will have to see, but he has been very big this year, about 330 pounds. And about two weeks out from the Arnold this year he was way behind schedule, and there was no way he could catch up. But he came in and surprised everyone with awesome conditioning. So you can't put nothing past the guy, I'm sure he will be in shape. It's going to be a great battle, man.

[ DR ] After winning your third Arnold Classic title in 2008 the Governor himself interviewed you onstage during which you gave an amusing little plug for MuscleTech supplements. Was this planned or impromptu?
[ DJ ] Yes, that was just something I said on the spur of the moment. I saw all the MuscleTech guys sitting in the front row, the President and all that good stuff. So I just gave a shout out to MuscleTech, that's all (laughs). I always want to make the boss man happy.
[ DR ] How did it feel for you to finally win the Mr. Olympia title in 2008?
[ DJ ] It was a pretty amazing feeling because I never thought it would happen, so of course it caught me off guard. I was just speechless and it was mind boggling for me for months. It took forever for me to accept that I had won this title, for it to sink in.
It was expected and I did want to win, but I just never thought it would happen. But when I did win it took me months to just really accept that I had won the title. It was unbelievable. It's (the Mr. Olympia title) what the sport of bodybuilding is all about, the Super Bowl of bodybuilding; it's our biggest competition; it's what everybody wants to win; it's the world cup.

[ DR ] Who did you look up to and want to aspire to being like as you came up the bodybuilding ranks?
[ DJ ] Well at the start it was
Shawn Ray, then it became
Flex Wheeler. Those were probably the two biggest names that I remember not really idolizing, but trying to model my physique after.
[ DR ] And I guess we could say you have done a pretty good job at that.
[ DJ ] Well thank you.

Did you know that it is extremely easy?
Did you know that next time you're in the kitchen baking and you realize you are out of powdered sugar, you do NOT have to run to the store or put the recipe away for another day?
Well I will be honest and tell you that I didn't know, any of those things, until I ran out of Powdered Sugar one day and was determined to make the recipe if it killed me. So I went looking for a recipe, because, you know, you can pretty much make everything at home so why not powdered sugar? I was completely ready to not find one and then I did, over at Whole New Mom. I LOVE that site, you have got to go over and check it out, she has some of the best recipes and homemade mixes you can find.
For more hints, tips, and info on Powdered sugar and sugar substitutes check out her original post.
Here we go, you'll totally kick yourself when you realize how easy it is.....
Powdered Sugar
1 1/2 cups granulated sweetener of choice (I used white sugar)
1 Tbsp cornstarch or arrowroot (I used cornstarch)
1. Place the sweetener and either cornstarch or arrowroot into your blender.
2. Blend on high continuously until the mixture is of uniform powdered consistency.
3. Keep the lid on the blender until the powder settles.
That is it! That is IT folks, did I not tell you this was super easy? No more crying when you run out, you can totally make it yourself and trust me, it works just as well as the stuff you buy at the store, matter of fact, I'm using some homemade powdered sugar right now for the Peppermint Patties I'm making.
Would you like the recipe to those as well?

Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan met with the media, including an one-on-one with The Atlanta Journal-Constitution after appearing on 680 The Fan, before hosting his seventh annual celebrity golf tournament to benefit Children's Healthcare of Atlanta at the TPC Sugarloaf in Duluth.
Here are five things that we learned:
1. Super Bowl review. Ryan immediately reviewed the Super Bowl loss the first day, second day and third down after the game. He watched coaches' tape alone.
2. Super Bowl prep. Ryan said the Falcons went all the way back to 2002 to study how the Patriots played against their scheme in order to pick up some tendencies against their defense.
3. Shanahan's play-calling. Ryan wouldn't point any fingers at former offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan for his play-calling. He contended that once the play is called it's on the players to execute it. He said he couldn't audible, in part, because of the personnel grouping.
4. Julio Jones' big catch. Ryan admitted that he thought Jones' circus-catch to put the Falcons on the 22-yard line was a game clincher at the time.
5. Camp Brotherhood set. Ryan and backup quarterback Matt Schaub were set to leave for Florida after the tournament to join the rest of the team in Miami for their players-only camp.

I am addicted. Plain and simple.
Friday, I sat and planned my day. I knew I had to be done with whatever I wanted to dye (at least the actual dyeing and not the curing time) by eleven am. That would give me enough time to mop my kitchen floor before the maintenance guys came at one to fix some various items around the house. While they were working, I could cut up my veggies for stirfry for dinner that night. Then at four, when they were due to be gone, I could rinse the fabrics out and have them all nicely pressed before company came over for dinner at 5:30 and I had to start cooking.
I accomplished a lot. I got my green FQs dyed that I tested for the other day (will post later because they are out in the car right now). I also tested oranges (again, photo later).
I also dyed a 3-yard piece for the back of the quilt that the greens and oranges will go for. This was a total experiment. I wasn't sure what I was going to do other than use my leftover dyes. I soaked the piece in soda ash. I then kinda scrunched it up and put it in a jumbo ziploc bag. I then just poured dye on it. I started with the three yellows I had. (I had to dilute them a bit because I didn't have a lot of each left). I then poured the orange and then the two greens. At last thought I poured my Chinese Red on it.
I am happy with it. I am a little upset there is not as much green in it as I had hoped.

34 Times Barack And Michelle Obama's Love Made Us Weak In The Knees
President Obama and Michelle Obama still have two months left in the White House, and yet somehow we already miss them terribly.

New Brunswick resident Sam Boraie is more than a real estate developer. He's also a proud supporter of his local community. As a philanthropist, Boraie works closely with two important New Brunswick institutions: the State Theater and Elijah's Promise. Throughout the years, support from the Boraie family has brought thousands of dollars to these community pillars.
The New Jersey State Theatre is an important cultural landmark in the New Brunswick area. It serves 30,000 students every year with educational programs that create a lifelong appreciation of fine arts. From free performance tickets to classic music classes to teacher appreciation nights, the State Theatre works hard to serve students and education professionals. Boraie Development is one of their sustaining partners whose ongoing philanthropy allows the theatre to continue its outreach efforts.
Sam Boraie and Boraie Development have worked closely with another community non-profit, Elijah's Promise, for years. Mr. Boraie serves on the advisory board, where he uses his business experience to help guide the non-profit's decisions. He is also a premier sponsor of the most important fundraising event hosted by Elijah's Promise.
As a mainstay of the New Brunswick community, Elijah's Promise gives more than 100,000 meals per year to New Jersey's neediest residents. The non-profit operates a soup kitchen, catering business and café. The Promise Culinary School offers affordable training in culinary arts, baking and pastry arts for unemployed or disabled Jersey residents. By working with the local government and charitable partners like Boraie Development, Elijah's Promise is able to offer free or low-cost meals, vocational training and social services.
Elijah's Promise works closely with the community to offer fun events and options for family togetherness. Their annual Race Against Hunger & Chili Cook-off is a great way to promote exercise in early November and features great chili dishes from staff and volunteers at the non-profit. Over 500 runners compete every year.
Chef's Night is the biggest annual fundraiser for Elijah's Promise. Every year, the organization raises at least 25% of its budget from this one-night event. Community leaders come together to enjoy fine dining and delicious samples from over 30 New Jersey chefs. This event wouldn't be possible without the support of Boraie Development, which donated $5,000 to Elijah's Promise in 2016.
Boraie Development has been serving his community for over 30 years. The New Jersey State Theatre, Eljiah's Promise and the town of New Brunswick are lucky to have him.

Microsoft founder Bill Gates says some African countries are hampering efforts to deliver life-saving vaccines to children.
Gates made the comments in Senegal, ahead of his planned address to the World Health Assembly in Geneva, Reuters reports.
"You have to have developing countries act to take the vaccines and get them out to all the kids," Gates said, according to Reuters. "It is tragic when the last delivery piece holds it back."
Gates was referring to vaccines that were invented and manufactured at a low cost with rich donors paying the bill. Gates pointed to northern Nigeria, Chad and the Democratic Republic of Congo as places where less than half of children were receiving polio vaccinations.
"They are just not putting good people on it, not tracking their results, not even getting out to parts of the country," Gates said, Reuters reports. "The message has to be clear. They have to see this as their top priority. It hasn't been."
It is believed that the world is close to ending the occurrence of polio entirely. The paralyzing disease now only afflicts a few countries in the developing world.
In Africa, millions of children die every year from diarrheal diseases and pneumonia because of the expense of distributing vaccines. Also, other diseases like malaria are in need of newer, low-cost vaccines.
The Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization is seeking to fill a $3.7 billion gap in funding at its June 13 pledging conference, and Gates has been pushing hard to attract and keep donors.
Gates has pledged $10 billion of his own fortune to help vaccinate children in the next decade, Reuters reports. He is calling on others to invest in vaccination as a cost-effective means to boost development.
"As you improve health you are allowing people to develop and be educated," Gates said, according to Reuters.
