The University of Virginia student newspaper, The Cavalier published a cartoon in 2006 that had Christians acting like they had got a cross stuck up their ass. See it here.
What has really got the Christians mad is the fact that the newspaper previously published a cartoon making fun of "gay bird" and then later apologized to the gay community at the school. So why won't the paper apologize for this example of religious satire? Because the school's policy dictates that anti-gay is not okay, but religious satire is free game. I applauded these people for not backing down.
So fast forward to this month, the paper has pissed off the Christians again. Another cartoon was made just a few days before Easter depicting Jesus making a few jokes while on a cross. Again, Christians freaked out, but this time the paper reacted differently to the abuse they were getting. After the cartoon was put on the paper's website, it was removed with an apology.
That's freaking bullshit. What ever happened to freedom of speech? This is just another example of how Christians feel like they must have control over everything in the world. It makes me sad that people can get this up in arms about a cartoon. This is just like when a Danish artist made cartoons of Muhammad and the Muslims freaked out. If a little comic strip is this disturbing to your faith, then there is something wrong with your faith, not the cartoon. Source

What indeed did happen to "Freedom of Speech?" and even more disturbing, what happened to "Freedom of inquiry?"
Do you know that by mentioning that evolution may not be how the world came about "whether I'm serious or not" can get me an F in my biology class? (seriously, you're not supposed to even ask questions o.0)
And of course you say that I'm protected by my rights to say and question such things. This is true, but I would still be discriminated against by my professor and likely would get an F because of that.... so much for said freedom.
Another thought, "Politically correctness" says that we cannot make fun of gays, lesbians, transsexuals, the lot of them, or races or colors of skin, or disorders of the mind, or other religions, ect ect ect
but it is just fine with going and slamming Christians and the like because of course, what are they going to do hmmm...?

a term of acceptance:
Evolution says nothing on the subject of how the "world came about." Evolution is not about the origin of life.
Evolution is about the diversity of life. If you don't understand the difference, perhaps that F in biology class was well-earned.
I'm so sorry that you don't get to bully the gays, blacks, or people with "disorders of the mind." Maybe back at the dorm.

Freedom of speech is only okay if you agree with the christian agenda. If you disagree or don't believe in their hilariously executed hippie of a "god" then you are wrong. It doesn't matter if they can't compile a legitimate argument against you…you are wrong because they say that they are. These people are dangerous and seek to impose their will on everyone! After all; they are the only people who are right! They have been trying to get my blog shut down for weeks. They make threats and they have even contacted my work place. Can you imagine! And you know what they argue? That I have no right to say the things on my blog. Like I said, you can either agree with the christian right and be acceptable or disagree and well you are just plain wrong. Assholes!

check the changelog (internal) for differences since v2.0.7
This version is almost final, a few details, some tests and v2.1.0 will be ready soon.
How to flash:
The latest leaked Belle doesn't need any Anna files anymore.
Just copy "those files" and "core/rofs2/uda" from my v2.x-package to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Nokia\Phoenix\Products\RM-596" and Phoenix will find the new Version...
Hit "options" in Phoenix before flashing to remove or replace all red marked files from the list.
If you remove the rofs3 you will have english only, if you replace the rofs3 (like you did in earlier releases), you can add the keyboard in your language.
(get the rofs3 for your language in the download section)
Final versions will have all files you need in one package, sorry for any inconvenience...

Yes, Final, in German soon, cool :)ReplyDelete
I have a question about a couple of things?ReplyDelete
-what means exactly "CPU and GPU modded for better performance and battery life"?
-"camera app full shutdown" means more ram & battery life at the cost that camera app is slower to start?
Anyway, great job so far!
In these releases one great thing is that all the games and apps which did not work in the prev releases does work on this... That's really a great jump :-). But some games which worked really smooth on the prev FW does not run that well. May be a CPU mod is necessary?( What about over-clock say 800~1Ghz?(^_^)ReplyDelete
Apart from this the music player lags a little when the music library is a huge collection... Frame skips are really noticeable here... It may be due to the kinetic scroll mod, but no where else is this experienced.
WRT the boot-up, this is a classic... Never have i seen my phone boot up so fast! :) Widgets load up real fast too!
So far so good :) Really Great work!!!! :)
Hey The One! One guy from dailymobile says that the fm transmitter widget was missing in the v2.07 that is fixed with this version??ReplyDelete
the widget was always there, since belle its called "play via radio" and not fm-transmitter (anna) anymore :p
thanks for your feedback...
but overclocking the cpu is not possible
@Leo Acq
the camera-app is not slowed down, its hardly noticable... the shutter/lens focus wouldn't be ready if the software starts faster anyway
Thanks for your quickly answer! I will be waiting eagerly for the final version! Thanks in advance!ReplyDelete
- Anonymous25 November 2011 at 20:13
Waiting for final bugless release.. thank you very muchReplyDelete
Hi. I'm having trouble downloading in Rapidshare. Can you upload the files from another file share sites? Thanks.ReplyDelete
- Anonymous25 November 2011 at 23:40
please post in mediafire.....ReplyDelete
Okey, thanks, and about "CPU and GPU modded for better performance and battery life"?ReplyDelete
really exited about the final release for now :-) :-) thanks in advance! :-)ReplyDelete
- Fifaheld26 November 2011 at 07:25
When comes please the next Version or Final with another Lang. out? ThxReplyDelete
- Fifaheld26 November 2011 at 09:02
One question? Can you put this in the cfw?ReplyDelete
i mentioned more than once that i don't know the final release date myself...
the notification widget from anna is buggy and only halfway working on belle, so no!
@Leo Acq
just slighly modded framerates, cpu-usage for ui and rendering method...
final version will be on mediafire too, but internal version will stay on rapidshare (because i already had a premium account there, so up-/downloading is much faster for me)
Yey! Thank you so much The One! Actually, I'm still using Anna. But I'm thinking of flashing my N8 with your version. Just wanna ask, if I flash my device with ver.2, can I still update to the official Belle when it is released? Thanks!ReplyDelete
I installed SysAp 2.4 by CodeRus with the tweak by himself on The One Belle v2.0.8. Got the !Reboot option. However lost my default start-up screen for belle (Black One), it has became White & blue text "NOKIA" what shall I do?ReplyDelete
Till now v2.0.8 is working great, except sometimes clock on HS opens when I try to drop down the menu from top. Maybe the touch responsiveness is affected in very small amount because of which this is happening.
sysap 2.4 is developed for anna and has some bugs on belle...
v1.10.0, with integrated sysap 3.0, is working without bugs, but "sysap 3.0" is not running on latest leaked belle.
more details about that issue will be in the description for the next release...

Patch 4.2.2
New vlog today! http://youtu.be/bNtFSrzYI0o
I have been getting so many messages asking me, "Where are you?" on YouTube that I finally buckled down and recorded a quickie for you today! By the way, you all make me feel SO loved and awesome with your messages that I am feeling like an asshole not giving you more regularly scheduled content! But that doesn't mean you should stop sending me messages! <3 Hehe. XD I really am sorry about the lack of video content lately, but I've been busy with my costume and other artsy things... AND to be totally honest, I'm still not completely over the whole idea of "Who would care to hear and watch me talk about my-fat-self anyway?" XD.
Aaanywaayy, I decided to shorten the video title from "Weekly Talking Fun" (like the previous vlogs) to just "WTF". I swear, only 3 people even saw that acronym which was the whole reason why I even wanted to call it "Weekly Talking Fun" despite the horrible English... But maybe it was just so under the radar barely anyone noticed. And if you DID notice, and didn't say anything, well.. Kudos to you even though you didn't say anything to me about it! ^_^
So, in this update video, I just show off some progress on my costume and some gift art I've been working on for my friends in the WoW/YouTube community. Also Please don't expect a song from me before BlizzCon since I'm devoting all my free time to these projects and the cosplay thing is a lot bigger a project than I thought it'd be XD. I'm SO glad I started it when I did!
Thanks for visiting my blog and enjoy the video!

With this freezing rain comes the absolute need for parents to wear shoes with proper traction. Your child is only as safe as you are. Ice grippers, cleats, crampons or studs are all ways to keep yourself and your little ones out of harm's way. Weather your on the trail, walking your neighborhood or simply carrying you child out to the car they are a necessity. If you fall, so does your kid. It is also important if you are pregnant.
Many stores around town offer reasonably priced gripper/cleats that you can attach right to your shoes or boots. While other shoes you can buy locally or online, such as Icebugs, already have built in studs. Skinny Raven will put studs in the shoes of your choice for free if you purchase a pair from them or they will charge you a reasonable $10 (at least that was the fee last year) to put studs in a pair you bring from home. If you know a senior citizen, they will do their's for free.
I love my Icebugs. I just wore them on super slick sidewalks walking or should I say being walked by my big lab who pulls like heck and I felt totally secure. The only downside is the cleats are permanent. I need to be totally prepared to leave the house when I put them on or otherwise they would do some damage to my wood floors if I walked around the house with them on. They do have rubber around the studs though so that if you were to go into a grocery store with them you won't slip and fall once you hit the tile floor which is the downside of cleats/grippers.

Need help identifying this rock
Even we get stuck sometimes...
Rob and I have an *idea* of what this might be but we're not sure... I thought I'd post a few pictures and see if anyone has any ideas of what this is.
The rock is gray with a bit of white and these long rectangular green slices that are quite beautiful.
We've sprayed water on the surface so you can see how deep the greens are.
Anyone have any ideas?

Hi, there.
The white I think is SiO2, the green maybe indicate Al and if the stone is soapy when touch, it is most probably the serpentinite family. If so, the it has the Mg and Fe content, too.
Sorry for the amateur content.
Oh My goddess, I have been trying to figure out a pendant I found that is exactly as you describe. The only thing missing from your description that I have is there are pinkish areas, both layers and circles. Would love to hear if you figure it out.
Nice dispatch and this post helped me alot in my college assignement. Gratefulness you on your information.

Just wondering if anybody has any knowlege of 'Rocks from Sea?' about 7 years ago when i was a fisherperson our vessel was deep sea trawling around the 'Chatham Rise' situated between 'New Zealand and Chatham Island' where we ended up netting a big blob of white clay, in the process of breaking down the clay we realised that it had an extremly hard centre (dark, almost see through kind of like a milky white colour). I still posses a small sample which still has some of the clay on it which has also hardened, but the sample has also been buffed so i cant realy tell the natural state that it was in unless i crush it. so if anybody knows anything or wants to know more please feel free to get in touch thanks,
And if its any help or someone else can help me we also caught a fossil, part of a bottom jaw (carnivore) in the same place which is yet to be identified also
thank you very much for taking the time to read my blog

Time has gotten away from me again. This is actually my favorite Husband quote from a few days ago, but I still thought it was worth sharing.
I have just finished blow-drying my hair with a diffuser with my head tilted upside-down. I am excited because, in my opinion, the technique had the desired effect of making my wavy-curly hair look more wavy-curly than usual.
I say, "Honey, do you notice anything different about my hair today?"
Husband pauses to carefully consider my appearance. He's been put in this situation before, poor guy.
"You didn't have your clippie pin* and… go back!" Husband says, while pantomiming me clipping something at the top of my head and then waving one hand back over his head and down one shoulder.
Translation note:
- four bobby pins
In Husband's defense, he was right. I usually do use bobby pins to hold back some of my hair. On this particular day I had left my hair entirely down. But he had not noticed the beautiful extra-curliness of my hair that I was so very proud of.
Husband's interpretation of what I do to my hair on a normal day tickled my funny bone and deflated some of my excitement over my hair, but it also taught me something. Or rather, it reminded me of something that I have learned before and have had to relearn over and over again.
Nobody—and I mean nobody—scrutinizes my physical appearance with as much fervor as I do. I know this is true, and yet I still spend time and energy thinking about and trying to improve my appearance.
I have long been disappointed with myself because of this importance I place on my appearance, and it has proven difficult for me to moderate that down to a healthy desire to look presentable.
I've prayed about it. I've memorized Bible verses and then taped them up next to my mirror:
"Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart." (1 Sam. 16:7)
"Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair and the wearing of gold jewelry and fine clothes. Instead, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight. For this is the way the holy women of the past who put their hope in God used to make themselves beautiful." (1 Peter 3:3-5a)
"Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised." (Prov. 31:30)
I've studied abroad in a country where it was neigh impossible to spend time and energy on physical appearance.
And yet.
Still I concern myself with my appearance much, much more than I ought.
But Husband's words were a good reminder for me.

SLEEP IN HUEMOZ AT L'ABRI (Curfew set by L'Abri)
WELCOME TO SWITZERLAND: You will notice that from now on, you have an unlimited train pass (SBB/CFF/FFS) for the remainder of the trip. This pass is good for all trains on all remaining days in our itinerary. It is also valid for almost every boat and bus, and all yellow Post Buses. If for a given transportation sector you don't know, assume it is valid and get on. Your SBB SwissPass is also good for free (or heavily discounted) entry to over 500 museums in Switzerland, so you should Always Carry it With You, even on days you are not traveling on trains. It is a bit like an "all-access pass" to the entire country, and so you should use it to its fullest potential. Keep any/all ticket/stubs/receipts as proof of your visits, as we'll want to see these for consideration of just who is the Most Adventurous Traveler. In addition to Museum Passes and Passport Stamps, collecting the free Train Schedule booklets in the train stations is a good way of proving you went to a far-away destination.

So, i continue my stories at Hello Kitty & Little Big Club in Part 2.
Those who still not reading my stories in Part 1, you are kindly to click the link HERE
We went to the Little Big Club around 12.45 pm. It is in the Level 2 for Barney, Angelina Ballerina, Bob the Builder & Pingu house. While for Thomas and Friends it is in Level 3. And the Little Big Club is included all these characters, that mean in Level 2 and Level 3. Haha. Are you clear now? Am i doing a good explanation about that place?
When we enter the park, it was Thomas and Friends mini show. But its already half way and we just can watch it only for 5 minutes. Nevermind, because we just watch Hello Kitty mini show, so it's ok for us. After the show, we went to level 3 to go to the Thomas and Friends level. At this time, Zulaikha had a little cranky. I thought maybe she was tired and sleepy because i woke her up at 7.30 a.m.
But, when she saw Thomas, she felt excited and shouted "Thomas, Thomas" and we line up to ride Thomas. We ride Thomas for two round which it still not satisfy Zulaikha. She wanted to ride it again but when we saw the line was long if we want to line up again, so we persuade Zulaikha to ride the bus. After ride the bus, i saw Zulaikha was out of mood and i ask my husband to have a rest. We went to pray, eat and let Zulaikha sleep if she wanted to do that because this is time for her to sleep.
So, we decide to find the food around Puteri Harbour because we were not 'in' with the menu in Thomas and Friends cafe. I really hope Zulaikha sleep at this time but it just my dream because when we were out from the park, Zulaikha suddenly became active again and she refused to eat because want to play with Thomas.
We ate our lunch at Old Town White Coffea and after we finished our lunch, we went back again to the park. We went straight to level 3 and decide to play with other game. Unfortunately, all the games are not suitable for Zulaikha because of her height. The minimum height required to play the games is 90cm and Zulaikha is shorter than that.
So, we continue to level 2. At level 2, we started with Agelina Ballerina house. It was 2.45pm at that time. So we waited 15 minutes for the meet and great session with Angelina. Zulaikha wore a cute skirt, hairband and stick to dance with Angelina. When she finished dancing with Angelina, she got the certificate and I realised that my daughter loves to dance! And she felt very happy and excited too!
After Angelina house, we went to Bob the Builder house where in this house it had a playground full with the ball. So Zulaikha spends her time here to play at the playground until 3.50 pm. So she had around 35 minutes played in the playground.
Around 350 pm, we went to the stage again to watch the mini show. Now, its time for Bob the Builder mini show!!! As usual, Zulaikha was so excited and she also moved her body to dance together with Bob and his friends.
Around 415pm, the show finished and then, we went to Barney house. I saw the schedule, the last mini show was at 530 pm so i told my husband to wait until the last show. So Zulaikha had more than one hour to spend. But, when the time is 515pm, we already waited in front of the stage the watch the last mini show.
But, the last mini show was disappointed me because it just a time to take a picture with Pingu, Barney, Angelina and Bob character. So, we took this opportunity to take a photo with all the character even though i hope it had a sing and dancing time because i saw Zulaikha very loves it.
Before we went home, we choose the picture at the booth. Even though we already took a lot of pictures, but this picture was included three of us. So we decided to buy it.
Overall, we had spent around 8 hours there and this is the stories how i maximise the time in Hello Kitty & Little Big Club. We were so enjoyed here and definitely, will not come it again not because it is not interesting, but before we repeat to this park, its better if we went to Legoland and Angry Bird Park, right? Haha. But if someone wants to pay for us, we will go again! (Jangan Marah)

"Researchers have found a disturbing trend while examining life expectancy in the United States, as the least educated white Americans have actually seen a massive drop in number of years that they live. The most shocking decline was in white women without a high school diploma, who "lost five years of life between 1990 and 2008, an almost unheard of decline. For example, one of the biggest life expectancy declines ever seen was among Russian men who lost an average of seven years after the fall of the Soviet Union, according to The New York Times.
Things have gotten so bad for white folks that it left Mitt lamenting the fact that if were a Latino he would have a better chance of winning the White House. Heck Mitt is so disgusted with the disadvantages of his whiteness that he tried to darken his skin a little bit. Hey if you can't beat em...
Now I see where all this anger towards the beige guy occupying the people's house comes from. I bet that some of the white folks who read that study blame Obama for their shortened life span. (I am serious. You did read the part where it said the less educated, right?)
Is it any wonder, as Chris Rock tweeted, that the leader of the free world has to prove that he was actually born in the country where a majority of the people elected him to be their president?
"A Texas man who hung a chair from a tree on his front lawn — in an apparent rebuff of President Obama and nod to Clint Eastwood — has taken down the display after offended locals associated it with the lynching of blacks.
Austin homeowner Bud Johnson, 73, said he removed the stupefying sight Thursday because of a misconception.
"I decided to make the change because some people are stupid,"
Poor Bud is 73. I think that study had folks like Bud in mind.

- 1.For those that have never heard of you before, can you tell us a little bit about the musical project?1: Its a black metal project that was created to be a dark soundtrack of sorrow, bleakness and devastation. There is nothing more to it, really.2.Recently you have released an ep, can you tell us a little bit bit about the musical direction you have taken with this recording?2: I`d say its Depressive Black Metal, but a more ambient form of it...it goes and hits you deeper in the heart, if you know what I mean. I find the sound of this genre really magical, really out of this world...3.What are some of the lyrical topics and subjects you have explored with your music so far?3: Mostly desperation, sadness, death and fascination of death...being born, and then just counting back the seconds until one reaches the final goal: death; and anything in between that makes this life, makes this realm so painful and unbearable sometimes. I dont think its going to get any more uplifting for the next recording either.4.What is the meaning and inspiration behind the name Cornucopia Ov Nonexistence?4: Cornucopia is a mythological bowl overflowing with goodness, nourishing goods...I think of `existence` sometimes as it is overflowing with emptiness, with `nonexistence`...hence the name: Cornucopia Ov Nonexistence.5.For the most part you did all of the musical instruments on the ep, do you feel you where able to accomplish your goal without a full band?
5: I think so, although playing and writing music is a constant learning process, so the "Next One" is always more evolved and better sounding. However, I had a massive chunk of help from Robin Fencott (friend/guitarist/producer) with the recording and the sound.6.Currently you are unsigned, are you looking for a label or have received any interest?
6: I haven`t received any interest, and I`m not really looking. If anyone is interested in sharing or distributing my music its great, but labels are business companies in the end of the day, and this type of music does not bring much money for them.7.On a worldwide level how has the feedback been so far to your music by fans of black metal?
7: The project itself got released about a week ago, and its picking up good, had some good feedback from musicians as well as from fans of music. Great to see there is a massive networking going on within metal circles!8.Are you involved with any other musical projects these days?
8: Yes, I am. My main band is Chromosome Needle (www.chromosome-needle.com) where I`m doing vocals and there is also a death-grind project I`m working on.9.What direction do you see your music heading into on future releases?
9: Well, with Cornucopia Ov Nonexistence I`d like to keep things "traditional", following the DSBM sound in one hand, but also add a few more drone and noise elements to it to make it sound more bleak and devastating. Like I said, its always evolving.10.What are some bands or musical styles that have had an influence on your music and also what are you listening to nowadays?
0: I grew up being a massive fan of Nordic Black Metal in general and death metal. Rune Eriksen (a.k.a. Blasphemer - MayheM) or Lord Ahriman (Dark Funeral) were definitely a big influence on me if we are talking about black metal.11.Outside of music what are some of your interests?
11: Nothing interests me as much as music. I do like to cook though, and I love spending my time in nature, away from people.12.Any final words or thoughts before we wrap up this interview?
12: Keep the Underground alive, and thank you for the interview! I hope that by March next year the new material will be finished, so we`ll have something to talk about again!

Isil resist as aid staff tell of Fallujah 'catastrophe'
IsIL militants fought back vigorously overnight and parried an onslaught by the Iraqi army on a southern district of the city of Falluja, the group's bastion near Baghdad, officers said yesterday.
An aid official warned of a "human catastrophe" unfolding in the city, with residents unable to escape.
Soldiers from the elite Rapid Response Team stopped their advance overnight about 500 metres from the al-Shuhada district, the southeastern part of the city's main built-up area, an army commander and a police officer said.
"Our forces came under heavy fire, they are well dug in trenches and tunnels,'' said the commander speaking in Camp Tariq, the rear army base south of Falluja, 50km west of Baghdad.
A staff member of Falluja's main hospital said they received reports of 32 civilians killed on Monday.
Medical sources had reported that the death toll in the city stood at about 50, 30 civilians and 20 militants, during the first week the offensive which started on May 23.
Falluja has been under siege for more than six months. Foreign aid organisations are not present in the city, but are providing help to those who manage to exit and reach refugee camps. The latest offensive is causing alarm among these organisations as more than 50,000 civilians remain trapped with limited access to water, food and health care.
"A human catastrophe is unfolding in Fallujah. Families are caught in the crossfire with no safe way out," said Jan Egeland, Secretary General of the Norwegian Refugee Council, one of the organisations helping families displaced form the city.
"For nine days, we have heard of only one single family managing to escape from inside the town,'' he said in a statement yesterday.
"Warring parties must guarantee civilians safe exit now, before it's too late and more lives are lost."
Falluja is the second-largest Iraqi city still under control of the militants, after Mosul, their de facto capital in the north that had a pre-war population of about two million.
Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi announced the assault on Falluja on May 22 after a spate of bombings that killed more than 150 people in one week in Baghdad, the worst death toll so far this year. A series of bombings claimed by Isil also hit Baghdad on Monday, killing over 20 people.
Falluja has been a bastion of the Sunni insurgency that fought both the US occupation of Iraq and the Shi'ite-led Baghdad government that took over after the fall of dictator Saddam Hussein, a Sunni, in 2003.
The battle for Fallujah has raised fears of a sectarian backlash, as Shia militias have been accused of retaliation against the civilian population in areas retaken from Isil.
Middle East analyst Michael Pregent, at the Hudson Institute in Washington DC, said the heavy involvement of Shia militias "is not going to win over the Sunni population that is needed to fight Isil".
"We are leaving Shia militia men... to decide who is Isil and who is a collaborator," he told Al Jazeera. "If you look at the public relations photos coming out Fallujah you have women and children being given water bottles by the Shia militia men but where are the men? What they do is they take the men and put them somewhere else and the militia men decide who is a Daesh [Isil] and who is a collaborator, and the punishment is the same."

Finance and Accounting
Product Cost Accounting
Finance must deliver timely, accurate decisions regarding product mix, pricing, marketing promotions, sourcing, and product launches to maintain customer loyalty, profit margins and expand market share. Genpact's product cost accounting solutions provide Fortune 500 companies with end-to-end oversight of the entire supply chain, from bill of material (BoM) setup, updates, and reviews to forecasting and budgeting, factory accounting and reconciliation, and reporting.
Genpact architects the Lean DigitalSM enterprise by combining design-thinking principles, and Lean approaches with digital technologies, analytics, and deep domain expertise.
Our product cost accounting solution enables us to design, transform, and run highly intelligent, advanced operating models for supply chain accounting and product costing that leverages our Digital Smart Enterprise Processes (SEPSM) framework to reimagine business outcomes.
We use a variety of agile, technologies for product cost accounting, including machine learning, natural language processing and artificial intelligence, to help organizations reduce volatility and control costs. These also include proprietary tools that our part of our System of EngagementTM F&A suite, an agile solution layer that integrates with an organization's existing systems of record, that offer:
- Technologies to examine BoMs, rates of operations cost variances, and journal entries
- Web-based e-learning modules
- Preventive controls
- Expert audits
Pre-defined efficiency and effectiveness metrics hone processes, boost performance, and provide deep insight into product cost structures.
Our end-to-end product costing spans:
- BoM/material master management: Setup, update, validation, and review
- Forecasting, budgeting, and standard product costing: Demand forecasting, annual budget creation and updates, transfer pricing computation, ERP allocation rule updates, computation and updating of standard costs for existing and new products
- Factory accounting, period close, and reconciliation: Moving average price reviews, accruals booking for all manufacturing centers, review settlement of work orders, execution cost allocation cycles, cost of manufacturing accrual reconciliation, inventory reconciliation, and booking of period close journals
- Reporting and analysis: Inventory analysis (slow-moving, aging, obsolete, and cycle count) and cost analysis (standard vs. actual, change in standard costs, rate of operation analysis)
Genpact's product cost accounting solutions focus on delivering impact by linking key process drivers to desired business outcomes. The results are measurable and lasting:
Millions of revaluation and working capital impact from implementing a comprehensive BoM tool
A global manufacturer of tissue, personal care, and health care products needed to correct variances in inventory valuation to update standard BoMs and Rates of Operation based on actual cost trends. Genpact compared the inventory value of 170,000 materials with actual inventory at 50 mills, analyzing expense lines, base material costs, packing materials, utilities, and labor costs.
Over a million dollars savings through inventory analysis within three months
A global equipment manufacturer had no effective review and reporting mechanism for open purchase orders (POs) against slow-moving items. This resulted in a large number of open POs for a growing stock of inventory that was at risk of obsolescence. Genpact conducted a one-time cleanup of open items and created a review and reporting mechanism for future purchases to prevent recurrence of the problem. By cancelling or postponing open orders for slow-moving inventory, the company saved over $1 million within three months.

Another anniversary gift from Phin Phin was a "Fujifilm Instax Mini 7s - Instant Camera". He knew that I want it for so long, and I'm so surprise to receive this as my anniversary gift.
Actually I'm not good in taking photograph, but I love camera. Myself owned a digital camera and a lomography camera. And now my new toy was the instant camera. Wish to have a DSLR camera as well, but of course have to wait, it's so expensive.
Although this camera looks bulky and round, but it's so cute from every angle. It's lightweight and compact. And the photo quality is sharp and clear. Love it~

Drop shipping fulfillment strategy is where the retailer does not keep products in inventory, but relies on wholesalers or manufacturers to actually ship orders to customers. Lots of Great advantages that make it attractive to online sellers.
For Instance When a customer places on order for a dropshipped item online, the retailer receives the order and payment for the order, and then either automatically or manually contacts the wholesaler or manufacturer, issuing a purchase order for the item and providing instructions for shipping directly to the customer. The wholesaler or manufacturer does the shipping, anUnfortunately there are some "gotchas" to consider too.
In a dropshipping thing, the retailer does not receive, stock, store, pull, pack, or ship products. All of these tasks are time things, which means drop shipping saves time. In a ecommerce business where the storeowner may also be the shipper, this additional time will be available to actually sell products, which should benefit the company. In larger operations, the timesavings may result in a reduction of labor costs.

The anti-Islam film that sparked violent protests in several Muslim countries had "nothing to do with the deadly attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi earlier this month," Libya's president Mohammed Magarief told NBC's Ann Curry on Wednesday.
Magarief said he believes the attack -- which killed four Americans, including U.S. ambassador to Libya J. Christopher Stevens -- was "a pre-planned act of terrorism" that had been planned to coincide with the 11th anniversary of 9/11.
The Libyan president's comments contradict statements made 10 days ago by Susan Rice, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations.
Rice told Fox News on Sept. 16 that "[w]hat sparked the violence was a very hateful video on the Internet."
"It was a reaction to a video that had nothing to do with the United States," she added.
She also stressed that "the best information and the best assessment we have today" is that the attack was not "preplanned," but "spontaneous."
The Obama administration has maintained that the attack on the consulate in Benghazi wasn't premeditated.
Yet Magarief tells a different story. The Libyan president has reiterated several times since the tragedy that the attack was planned in advance and was not a reaction to the YouTube video "Innocence of Muslims."
"The idea that this criminal and cowardly act was a spontaneous protest that just spun out of control is completely unfounded and preposterous," Magarief told NPR earlier this month. "We firmly believe that this was a pre-calculated, pre-planned attack that was carried out specifically to attack the U.S. Consulate."
After the attack occurred, Magarief apologized to the United States on behalf of the Libyan people.
"We consider the United States as a friend, not only a friend, a strong friend, who stood with us in our moment of need," he told NBC News.
Clarification: This post has been amended for clarity. Susan Rice told Fox News that the administration's "best assessment" of the attack at the time of the interview was that it had not been premeditated.

Today. Wednesday. February 13, 2013. Today marks the start of the Lenten journey to the celebration of Christ's resurrection. After giving myself some time to sit, think, and pray over this year's Lenten season, my quest for His call for me this year came.
Sitting at work on Friday, I was talking to a co-worker about possibly fasting from bread for Lent. You see, I found a very strong, very satisfying (physically) love affair with bread. Especially buttered toast…don't ask me why because I still don't understand it.
Just when I thought my heart was settled. I felt the nudge. The nudge to do more. The nudge to plunge into more than just what is convenient to give up.
Naturally, my mind, heart and soul went to dedicating these 40 days to the Paleo way of eating. Once again, this was familiar to me. This was something I am comfortable doing. After all, up until my journey to motherhood started, that was the lifestyle I had.
So then I felt the whisper. Daniel Fast. I dug my feet in. Then I feel my heart strings pull. Daniel Fast. I attempt to ignore it. Then the proverbial 2X4. The reminder of a journey last year. Taken with a stranger who has turned into one of the dearest friends I have.
A journey to eliminate the comfort foods. Such breakthroughs were revealed. Trust in Him built more with each passing day.
So this year friends. I am choosing to heed the call. The typical Daniel Fast is 21 days, but I am feeling called to do it the whole 40 days. With one minor difference to the traditional Daniel Fast. I will be including milk for an extra source of protein.
The goals for this fast?
- To re-learn how to turn to Him to meet my needs before going to food
- To trust that He will reveal Himself to me as I am faithful to follow His call
- To get a handle on my eating habits; to become a healthier eater
- To gain control over my habit of eating to satisfy every need
- To break the hold that food has over me; dethroning this idol
Why do I share this? After all Jesus did say,
"Whenever you fast, do not put on a gloomy face as the hypocrites do, for they neglect their appearance so that they will be noticed by men when they are fasting. Truly I say to you, they have their reward in full. "But you, when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face so that your fasting will not be noticed by men, but by your Father who is in secret ; and your Father who sees what is done in secret will reward you." (Matthew 6:16-18)
I share this to ask you to pray with me. For my heart. For my determination. For my growth. That I might be able to resist the temptations that are sure to rise. That I will seek satisfaction in my Father rather than in food. That I will open myself up and allow my heart to be broken, reconstructed and redirected by the only One who can show me the way to go.
I thank you for partnering with me in this way.
What about you? Any way I can support you on your Lenten journey this year?

The Goddess, my sister, has been having an affair for the last year and a half with a married man.
I do not approve. It's put our relationship to almost nothing. She's younger then I am by 8 years. She's also the one in the family who landed the movie star looks.
I look like a sheep dog.
O.I. can show up two ways, broken parts or internal issues. I got the broken parts, she got the ulcers, reproductive issues etc.
The Goddess is a perfectionist that can not handle stress of any kind. So why is she having an affair with a married man? Don't know. Totally beats me.
She just spent the last month hiding from the world on our mother's sofa. Why you ask, she semi-broke up with the Married Man. I think it's more then fishy he broke up with her at Christmas time then got back with her just after the New Year. But that's just me.
My longest relationship was a year. It ended badly. Very badly. He was a cheating liar. I bumped into the guy a full year afterwards and he started to act all lovey-dovey but I yelled at him in a public place.
Yeah, smooth I know. I'm very emotional at times. I have a temper. I have been in and out of "anger management" more then once in the last decade. I'll get more into everything later.
The Nurse and I have been friends for 31 years. She's happily un-married to the same man for the last 16 of those years. He's a sweetheart. They have 3 kids together. I see her twice a year now and we live in the same city. It's weird cause we grew up across the street from each other and used to hang out all the time. I think I hate growing up.

Entergy Reschedules Third Quarter Earnings Call to November 5, 2012
In light of the major storm approaching the northeastern U.S., Entergy Corporation (NYSE: ETR) today announced it has rescheduled its third quarter 2012 earnings teleconference to Nov. 5, 2012, from Oct. 30.
"The current weather forecasts show Hurricane Sandy likely bringing with her widespread and high winds to the Northeast, beginning Monday night and potentially not dissipating until Wednesday. With many of our shareholders, financial analysts, employees and others living in and around the storm's projected path, rescheduling our earnings call was an easy decision to make," said J. Wayne Leonard, Entergy's chairman and CEO.
"We know firsthand the challenges, both personal and professional, associated with these storms, and the stress and distraction that uncertainty during these events can cause. We also know that nothing is more important than staying safe and taking care of family, co-workers, friends and neighbors who might need a little extra assistance. We are extremely grateful for the understanding, patience and assistance so many have shown us in our past times of need, and our thoughts and well wishes are with those potentially in Sandy's path. Clearly, the right thing

I hope you will use the utmost discretion. People mustn't find out that I've written to you.
I am a prominent journalist with an impeccable reputation for probity (honesty). Everything I do is strictly according to accepted journalistic standards. But lately some people have questioned my integrity and I don't like it. What right do they have to question the integrity of America's premier news man? It's my job to question other people's integrity, not the other way around.
It all started when I got hold of some documents showing that our "president," who was AWOL from the National Guard while other presidential candidates were earning Purple Hearts and Silver Stars, had received a terrible evaluation from his superiors. I always knew he was a lousy flier and that he was as soft as the underside of a six-day-old duckling on a diet of firefly wings. These documents I received proved what I always knew - that his time in the Guard was a complete sham.
Now you might wonder why I think this is important. Well, I'll tell you. He should have volunteered to go to Vietnam like the other guy. Instead, he went into the Air National Guard and promptly went AWOL. I wouldn't care what he did except that the other guy, whom I support (but I can't say it outright because we journalists aren't supposed to reveal our political positions), is a genuine war hero who has every right to talk about his heroism, while our part-time ace had the nerve to appear on an aircraft carrier in a flyboy suit as if he knew something about war. That's where these documents come in. They show him for what he really is.
Don't ask me how I knew these papers were authentic - I just knew. They backed up everything I ever knew about this over-privileged baby. They're as genuine as the bumps on an alligator's back. When you know something is true you don't have to check it out. Just ask a born-again if Jesus is Lord. He'll say yes and when you ask him how he knows, he'll tell you he knows because it's in the Bible and the Bible is true. You don't tell him to check it out! Well, I know that what's in these documents is true. I shouldn't have to spend my valuable time trying to prove something I know is true is true. It just is.
But how can I get other people to see it?
Danny Boy
Dear Danny Boy,
It's so nice to hear from a man of incontrovertible views. Compared to your favorite Democratic weathercock you are a breath of air as fresh.
Most times, when people say they "got religion" they aren't referring to having adopted a political philosophy, but if a few primitive forgeries are what pass for Scripture in your belief system, so be it. However, just so you know, most people think that things like documents purportedly written in 1972 by Air Force Colonels in Word for Windows XP deserve a little skepticism – as would the discovery of the manuscript of The Camera Never Blinks: Adventures of a TV Journalist on a parchment roll hidden in a cave near the Dead Sea.
But I'll bet your favorite aeronaut's supposed derelictions of duty aren't the only articles of faith in your creed. You also know as surely as black dogs bark that poverty causes crime, that taxation causes prosperity, that other people's SUV's cause global warming – which in turn causes hurricanes in Florida (not to mention droughts in le pays de la résistance and an increase in the price of your favorite Montrachet). You know that illegal immigrants enrich the countries they invade, that the Soviet Union would eventually have fallen apart due to lack of sufficient government planning even if Bonzo had never left Hollywood, that Thomas Jefferson left black descendents strewn all over Virginia, that if the United States paid its UN dues on time there would be no more war and that a global tax on ammunition, in conjunction with a ban on peashooters, would put an end to schoolyard bullying. These are a few of your self-evident truths, assertions that needn't be proven and shouldn't be questioned. You gotta believe!
What is also true is that CBS is in free fall thanks to you and that its credibility is right up there with Iraq's former Minister of Information, decorated war hero Bill Clinton, Jayson Blair, Pinocchio and Baron Munchausen.
Congratulations. In your next life may you come back as a used car salesman.

Remembering Sonjia
The photograph was the occasion of my eighth birthday, held locally at Glen Park some many decades back, with by today's standards, a very politically incorrect hobo theme. That's Sonjia, second from the left in the front row. We were friends all the way through school together, from kindergarten to the twelfth grade. Our parents were best friends and our families took vacations together, so some of my fondest childhood memories include Sonjia. She was an accomplished pianist and singer who worked professionally as a child, but remembered most for the bubbling personality and unfailing good humor that show through so clearly in the photograph.
She moved to Oregon years ago and it's been a long time since we've seen each other. March 22 is her birthday and not a year goes by that she isn't remembered warmly and with the greatest affection.

Second Listen: "Deep Inside" (Mary J. Blige)
Back in 1999 Mary J. Blige released her fourth album Mary, which featured some now classic joints from the famed songstress. With that said, one of the standout joints from Mary, was her third single "Deep Inside," which featured a brilliant sample of the Elton John bar classic "Bennie and the Jets."
"Deep Inside" would go onto become a top ten hit on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs peaking at #9 and is still one of my favorite joints from Blige. Take a second listen below to "Deep Inside" and Enjoy!

text: Want to see all the secret government docs you can and create your own wikileaks site? Ok, these aren't really secret, but this is a fun way to find content you can um... re-purpose? Is that the right word? Use scrapebox custom footprint something like filetype:xls site:whitehouse.gov or .csv or .doc or .pdf or .ppt or whatever you want. SB will find a ton of actual documents created by government interns that think you can't find them lol A while back I actually found an excel spreadsheet with a guest list to a white house party using this handy search strategy. Then let SB do it's magic. You can point it to a branch like the DOE and get cool content to post to your blogs selling ebooks on running your car on water or building solar powered stuff... whatever... use your imagination.... Or just type in keywords like CIA or whatever you want... you can use this if your bored and tired of watching free porn and playing WOW, and if you're creative you can scrape more content than you could ever possibly know what to do with. And just in case you didn't know, US government work product by law has no copyright protection 'cause you already paid for it with your taxes. Have fun ps i'm going away for a couple weeks so save your questions for each other... pps might not be a bad way to make one of those "pay me $9 and I'll show you how to get government grants" books... sky's the limit really. ppps ok... can't post without putting this out there.... if you find excel spreadsheets you can create a simple online database that allows people to look up stuff that's in the spreadsheet. Important stuff, like which companies are getting paid by the US government for doing work, how much they get paid, etc., People who want to get government jobs might find this useful data. pppps... ok...... one more.... I can't resist this one... try using some famous people's names as keywords and see what government docs come up. Might even try your own name and see what comes up.

Well, my sweet friend, it has been a year since I stood at your bedside, singing a song in your ear and praying with you. If only I had known it would be my last chance to speak to you… I have to wonder what I would have said differently??? If only you could have spoken on that last day. I have a strong feeling you knew I was there, that you could hear me, cause you became so restless when I told you I had to go. I wonder if God had already told you that you would be going home so soon…is that why you were so restless?
I have spent too much time this last year thinking through the "if onlys" of that day, and the months prior to your death. But God has constantly pointed me back to the positives of what had already passed. Our talks on the phone, our times of spiritual accountability, our moments of encouraging the other during the hard days, the times we talked about your double lung transplant and the hardest parts of those days, the cards and scrapbooks that we made while we were together, the love for music that we shared, the fears that we both had, the laughs we had over our boys, the talk of Bible studies and learning together about God, our times of prayer, our quest to live boldly for God and our frustration with never doing enough for Him, the list goes on and on. I try to dwell on all those memories of the great times.
So often I wonder how your "days" play out now? Can you see me? Do you know of my struggles and my tears? Do you understand why your mom and my dad passed in the ways that they did? Does your illness make sense to you now? Does it matter if we have our quiet time in the morning or at night (lol)? Do you have all the answers to the private things we discussed between the two of us?
I am incredibly grateful that you are no longer suffering and when I think of being in the presence of God I am at complete peace, but when I lose my focus and think of myself and try to figure out the days without you here to talk to, I get a bit discouraged. Oh how many times I have wanted to talk to you… About envelopes, where do I buy them? Where did you find those keys that you put on that plaque? What was that recipe that we made for that family? What were your plans for some of the projects that you had started? How I wanted to cry to you like we have done before when the days have been hard. I have never lost of friend before and I miss you like crazy!
I am so grateful for the things I learned during your life…
-my struggles or frustration usually come back to a heart issue
-never take your friends for granted
-don't judge your friends, let them be vulnerable about whatever is on their heart and just listen
-it's okay for be afraid, just don't give in to those fears, always look back to God
-when I fail at my having my quiet time, I just start again tomorrow
-never give up hope, God is working
-germs…they are everywhere…lol!
-how your death has caused me to lean even more on the Lord, trying to understand and trust His will, especially when it hurts, even when it's hard
I did do the Ann Voskamp study we talked about doing together in January. I was a good study, but I still wish we could have done it together!
I will forever be grateful to the Lord for your friendship and for the times we shared. Remembering you today, a little more than usual, and rejoicing in God's will with tears in my eyes…

Flying No More
Over at the Cranky Flier there's a great piece about airlines that ceased rotating in 2007. Amongst those that closed their overhead lockers for that very last time are MAXjet who finaly ceased trading on Christmas Eve. The CF thinks there's something in this model of up market one class carrier. I'm not sure, in fact I'm certain it's a duff idea. Although with MAXjet going down it will help the two transatlantic airlines still offering a similar service. If you're going to do it at least make it first class and not business.

Early this month the boys and I traveled to San Diego for a little vacation. We met Keith's parents there who had planned a fun week with Ethan. Keith parents have a great tradition of taking each one of their grandchildren on a trip sometime before they turn 12.This is quite ambitious of them considering they have 17 grand kids! It was Ethan's turn and they chose to spend their week with him in San Diego. Ethan was thrilled to take his trip there since he was born in southern California and has wanted to visit again for sometime now.
Mac and I flew out with Ethan so that we could stay for a few days and visit Sea World. My company gave me a season pass for Sea World which means that my family and I can visit any one of the nine Sea World parks for free, as many times in a year that we want. A very generous gift that we all enjoyed tremendously.
Our first stop upon arriving in San Diego was the Cabrillo National Monument in Point Loma. We had a nice walk down the coast and the kids enjoyed the tide pools. The weather was fabulous, a cool 64 degrees with a nice ocean breeze. A nice break from the hot Midwest summer in the middle of July.
The kids enjoyed exploring the tide pools and stacking rocks.
Taking a little break with Grandpa and enjoying the ocean view.
Next stop Sea World.............

Client Results Story
A national media company urgently needed to stem the loss of advertising sales to online competitors. Bain helped MediaCo boost the performance of its salesforce by targeting prime market opportunities, developing consistent best practices and performance metrics, and better supporting top performers so they can focus on what they do best—generating advertising revenue.
MediaCo's salesforce performance varied widely across markets, with half of the sales team generating 90 percent of all revenue, but only spending 40 percent of their time actually selling.
With ad revenue dropping sharply due to online competitors, MediaCo was under pressure to build a more effective salesforce, with a clear strategy for pursuing new accounts and strong centralized support. At stake: survival in key markets.
Next Approach
Working collaboratively, we helped the CEO develop several initiatives, including prioritizing ways to increase performance and identifying prime industries for targeted sales campaigns, with the goal of boosting market share and retaining business.
Next Recommendations
We helped MediaCo identify priority categories for its salesforce to target.
To better gauge success, we also developed a performance scoring tool and metrics. And to free up top sellers, we designed an Assistant program to reduce administrative work.
Next Results
Six priority categories have been launched in field, driving growth 10-20 pts above market.
Top sellers have gained 2.0 to 6.0 points share of total revenue in their markets due to Assistant support.
And all sellers are improving their sales skills through performance tool score metrics and increased coaching from sales managers.
To discuss how our team can help your business achieve true results, please

Tackley, St Nicholas Church
History, tourist information, and nearby accommodation
HERITAGE HIGHLIGHTS: Saxon stonework in the nave walls
The tower was struck by lightning in 1862, and restored by the ubiquitous GE Street.
This memorial pales by comparison with the most impressive monument in the church, to John Morton of Tackley Park (d. 1780). This shows an oversized figure of Justice with a set of scales, and seems to occupy most of the east wall of the south transept. Morton's successor as lord of the manor was Whalley Smythe Gardiner (d. 1797), whose memorial plaque is on the south wall of the nave.
About Tackley
Address: Church Hill, Tackley, Oxfordshire, England, OX5 3AE
Attraction Type: Historic Church
Location: Outside the southern edge of the village, beside Tackley Park. There is a small parking area off the road, and the church was open when we visited.
