Orlando Boone High School officials had a nice little fireworks display planned at halftime for homecoming Friday night, but much to their chagrin Winter Garden West Orange provided all the fireworks in the first half, scoring 27 points en route to a 40-7 thrashing of the Braves before 3,000 fans.
Boone (2-6) now has lost five consecutive games. West Orange (4-5) has won three of its last four.
''They're a lot better than we gave them credit for,'' Boone Coach Larry McBryde said, shaking his head. ''I don't know why their record isn't better than 4-5.''

Workshops are organised by the policy departments and enable members to put questions to and exchange views with experts on subjects associated with parliamentary business or subjects of current interest. They are not necessarily held in public but may be held during a committee meeting.
On 17 June 2015 the Committee on Legal Affairs held a Workshop on Civil Judicial Experts in the EU. Despite the emergence of judicial cooperation in civil matters making it easier to handle cross border litigation, national rules governing judicial technical expertise vary considerably within the EU.
Practical and legal problems can arise when experts are called to conduct their expertise differently according to their Member State's legislation, including problems relating to procedural aspects. The question of the approximation of the rules on judicial exerts and the relevance of other solutions such as the introduction of an EU list of judicial experts or the creation of a specific status of expert generally recognised in the EU is therefore raised.
Against this background, the workshop brought together Members of the European Parliament and a number of experts, practitioners and academics with a view to discussing about the differences between national rules on judicial technical expertise, the difficulties in cross-border situations and possible ways of addressing them.

To Learn More About Steve Carpenteri
I've heard complaints that winter is too long and there is nothing to do till spring, but for some reason I haven't slowed down since I finished getting in my winter's wood last June. Fishing and roaming the woods took up most of the summer (well, there was that deck-building project that ate up a weekend or two!), and by mid-August it was already time to think about bear hunting season. My first, most vivid reminder was a visit to the bee hives by a bear the night before the season opened! We never saw that bruin again but that little show kept us in the woods till the end of September, when it was time to get ready for the archery season on deer. Plus, there were more opportunities to hunt bears, and by the time I got around to putting all the associated toys away it was time to pack up for deer season, which for me ran pretty much every day from October 1 through mid-December. And then, I realized that the grouse and rabbit seasons were still open, which kept me occupied through the end of the year, and now I'm reminded that the rabbit season continues through March and, if I want to travel, I can still hunt deer in states as far away as Georgia, Louisiana and Mississippi. I'm not going to go there, just sayin'!
Besides, as bored as some people are this winter I can't seem to get everything done that I want to do. I have been out on my snowshoes quite a bit thanks to the two feet of snow we had prior to the recent thaw, but I noticed coming in every day that my cross-country skis are still on the porch where I left them last (non) winter. Gotta make time for that as well.
Meanwhile, I've been busy fixing things and ordering gear for next year's fishing, trapping and hunting seasons. When one spends a great deal of time doing anything the related equipment takes a beating. I was amazed to find that I'd completely worn out a pair of rubber boots plus my trusty Krocs, which I wear everywhere but in the shower and to bed. Last week when I skated down the mailbox with them I decided it was time to replace them. It just happened that there was a big sale going on so I bought new knee-highs and Krocs for what I paid for one pair a year ago. Maybe I should have bought two of each!
While sifting through my gun rack for the ideal coyote rifle I was reminded that I hadn't fired my (four) muzzleloaders. Shooting one means cleaning one, so there went an afternoon. Now I don't have to worry about them till next season rolls around.
While bringing in the day's firewood during the thaw I was reminded (by water dripping down my neck) that it was time for a new rain jacket. That, of course, led to a quick inventory of my other outdoor clothing. I was shocked to find that I'd also need new gloves, wool pants and suspenders my old ones had gone on one too many trip into the woods. I remember what happened to the suspenders; I got snagged on a spruce limb and kept going, thinking it was just a small one and would break off. Not exactly! I walked, the suspenders snapped and that was that - $20 down the drain. I tried sewing them back together (which took up most of a wintry morning) but elastic doesn't pair well with fishing line used as thread. Back to the store I went!
Digging out the fishing line reminded me that trout season is just weeks away now and I had not even looked at my fishing gear since last July. Maybe that's why it took so long to find my "thread." That little journey into the dark recesses of my closet resulted in another winter's day spent sorting through the mess, repairing what I could and making another list for the sporting goods store. There's time, of course, to worry about spring fishing but if April comes as fast as November went by I will be late again!
While some folks are curled up in a dismal ball waiting for longer, sunnier days to arrive, I have my pile of bills, receipts and W-2s staring at me, a friendly reminder that I'd better start thinking about paperwork before I think too hard about fishing. I rarely get a refund so I don't rush to get my taxes done before April (14th or so). It's not a job I enjoy or look forward to, but it's on the list of must-dos . . . sort of!
One good thing about starting any kind of winter project is that I can look out my office window and decide, well heck, it's nice out, and I should go for a walk in the woods. For some reason I can talk myself out of doing most any chore, even a pleasant one, but if the woods look the least bit inviting I accept the offer and off I go, leaky boots or not.
The average stroll in the hinterlands will take me two or three hours, more if I know I have important work to do at home. I'm not much for a quick hike around the pasture; I'll see something interesting in the snow or hear an owl, turkey or raven and decide to see what's going on. Usually, it's nothing, but how will I know unless I go?
Then, of course, if I'm way out there after a strenuous trek in slushy snow, I must get my stove out and have a cup of tea while I rest up for the return trip home. Next thing I know the day begins to wane and I need to head on back home, where I rest for a while, have more tea and think of what other practical projects I should have been doing.
Nothing to do with winter? I wish!

A traveller friend of mine, Doulos (@deejTHtraveller on twitter) very recently tweeted this to me,
"to think about it, I have never encountered boundaries on my travels save check posts. (But) Every 50 km is different!"
I couldn't agree with him more, especially in the context of a country like India, a country where almost 800 languages are spoken (even MS Word finds that amazing I guess cause it just suggested that I change the phrase to 'Countries where almost…'!), many different religions are followed with equal fervour and cultural nuances differ with every new region you explore.
As of now, I have only been fortunate enough to visit only two other countries, Thailand and Cambodia and though these were very different experiences as compared to the ones I've had exploring India, some things remain common. There are a few things that every traveller must remember when visiting a new destination or meeting new people. These might at times feel strange or even ridiculous but the fact that these hold great importance to your hosts (and remember, wherever your travel takes you, you are the guest!) and that they have been following it for generations probably might make you want to take that smirk off your face. An open mind and a respectful demeanour have been known to open many doors for many a traveller.
Here are six rules that may help you become a more appreciated guest on your travels.
Most people have the habit of trying to find out about places to stay, where to eat, things to do and every other possible detail that might make their trip more 'comfortable'. While, to some, it might be comforting to have all those details, attention to some other details will most definitely make your hosts more comfortable. That I can assure is a sure shot way of making your trip more enjoyable. Some of these things might feature in the points that follow.
This is absolutely basically very important and is applicable to both men and women. Not every hot place in the world is a beach and not every settlement along a coast line appreciates people strolling around their neighbourhood in beach wear. Certain communities, especially when you visit places that hold religious significance to them, expect a certain dress code from every one and that includes you. So whether you are at a beach destination or anywhere else, it helps to check what is acceptable and what is not to the locals and you will easily find this information on the net or from fellow travellers who might have explored the region previously.
It is a given that a small greeting like a 'Hello' in the local language uttered by a traveller will bring a smile to the most hostile of locals. Add a smile to that greeting and you might have got yourself a friend for life. If you can, try to get the pronunciation right too but even if you manage it in a funny manner and got greeted back with a hearty laugh, you would have succeeded in breaking the ice. For those of you who are good at learning new languages, go ahead and surprise your hosts with a conversation in the local language and you will see a whole new level of generosity.
I understand this might be difficult for vegetarians or those with little or no experience of being adventurous with their food choices but adhering to this will help. The best food that you will find on your travels will most probably be served in the homes of the locals. If you really must refuse the generosity of your hosts, do it politely and in this case, a little local language might help to explain the reason for your refusal. Remember, in many cultures, refusing food offered to you might be considered to be an insult to the host.
Have you ever been at a place where every now and then during your visit you encountered either a local or a settlement that filled you with extreme sorrow or sympathy at the conditions that prevailed. Well, other than a select few, most travelers can be generally put into two categories, the super benevolent ones or the always suspicious ones. The right way is probably where those other select few choose to dwell. I belong to a country where coming face to face with the harsh inequalities of the modern world isn't that difficult and trust me, not all the people in need are looking to you for money and neither are all of them trying to con you. A lot of these people would be happier if you could spare a little time and probably share a meal or even a hot cup of coffee with them. The money that you give them might help, but making them feel equal and cared for will make it special.
Humbleness and an affable disposition are precious characteristics when you travel. Whether it is a destination within your own country or a foreign land, you are the visitor. Your hosts, especially in rural lands, will go out of their way to make you feel comfortable and all they ask for in return is a little courtesy and respect. Locals around the world let people be a part of their lives and that's what makes travel such a great experience, so be thankful. It might be great to take souvenirs back with you, but giving a gift (however small it may be) will mean the world to the people who so generously accepted you with open arms. Travel becomes an experience to cherish when it has the right mix of give and take.
"One bad apple spoils the whole bunch." Never forget this. People around the world would welcome travellers if each and every one of us followed these rules. SET THE RIGHT PRECEDENT.

Hello everyone~! :heart:
I think I have been neglecting Rainbowholic blog for sometime and honestly, I really miss blogging every 3-4 days but I have to sacrifice and devote my time first to other secret stuff I have been working on.
I have been working on it for months but I got stuck because of a technical glitch but hopefully, it will be launched soon! And of course, it's going to be all about KAWAII ^^v
I'm actually scared if it's going to be successful or not, but I'm gonna give it a try. There were days I wanted to give up this project but whenever I remember my mentors / friends' words that "It's WAY BETTER to try out many things rather than doing nothing".. I get energized!
Wish me luck, please~ :blush:
When you have a whole day at home and you're bored + moody because of PMS…
DRESS UP, practice makeup, feel pretty, take photos.. and SMILE! :))
(legit suggestions from a regular pms-ing girl :)) )
While you're at it, grab a jar and get those origami sheets you've been neglecting for so long in your drawer and write happy things and make it as a year-long project! 😀
(p.s. original idea from a random tumblr note)
Daily Life Randomness
Yummy Kimchi soup meal from Matsuya :tongue:
Bought myself these cherry blossom-scented room fragrance :yay:
(the rest are for toilets)
New Rilakkuma iPhone 5 phonecase for Rilakkumaholic me, haha~
My Spring hairspiration! Can't wait for the Sakura season.. for now, I'm black-haired!
Gotta :heart: POPTEEN hairstyle suggestions!
Penny time during afternoon breaks!
Yummy curry rice + chicken from Sukiya :star:
♥ Harajuku with Hanneke-san ♥
A few weeks ago, I met up with Hanazuki's half.. Hannekeさん! She was traveling around the world for a month (in 5 years, that'll be my goal!) and her last stop was in Tokyo. She's such a sweet and inspiring person that's why I was really ecstatic to meet her again. Also, she picked me as one of the few bloggers to witness Hanazuki's launch to the world in Amsterdam last 2012. I owe my first Europe trip / biggest blogger experience (yet) to her! ;_;
Arrived a bit early and took some kawaii photos to share ^^
Mecha kawaiiiii!
My outfit that day 😀
We had a short coffee break and then I dragged her to a purikura booth.
50% Japan Experience in 10 minutes in one booth, haha!!
I'm so tiny. :))
Awwww… she wrote "Kaila is cool!" *_* /shyyyyy
Showed her around to buy some cute souvenirs for her friends…
Digging this simple wallet! *_* But I have too many wallets right now huhuhu..
Room Socks galore
My favorite dolly coordinates that day~
Pastel piggies with crowns!
Dinosaur bones~
We went to a *fashionable* pet store to look for something cute for her doggie, Luna~!!
I wanted to give her a total Japan experience in just a few hours so we had our tummy filled with yummy yakisoba and taiyaki from Sakura Tei!!
Got tired from all the walking and had coffee before saying goodbye.. we went to Double Tall Cafe, a small cafe nearby! ^^
Thank you Hanneke-san for the conversations about life, dreams, Hanazuki and traveling!
I will never forget what you told me…
"Make plans but go with the flow."
It's so right in many ways! :"D
Panda Lovin', Chocolate Pocky Legs and Tokyo Designer Gakuin College
I was super excited for this day because my brother accompanied me to one of my dream schools (third to Bunka & Mode in Shinjuku), Tokyo Designer Gakuin College!!
Thought I should wear something more presentable and special (hint of kawaii is a-must!!) so I wore this panda applique skirt from JSG (fukubukuro / lucky bag)!!
(and red sweater from my brother's closet, hehehe… )
Got the idea of "Pocky legs" from my sis-in-law, Claire nee-chan ^^
Eyeliner + Red lips + Panda tail = :yay:
Coincidentally that day… I RECEIVED A BOX from my Panda addict bestie in Japan, Leen!!
She went to Singapore during her Christmas Vacation and got me these ;_; So thoughtful!!
OMG PANDA THANKYOU HUHUHUHUHU *_* Super love thissss!! *overflowing happiness*
Also that day, I was fixing some baggage stuff from my Manila vacation and saw these lovely / handmade gifts from my unicorn little sis, Celina!
She sent me these before I flew to Japan. Very sweet girl ;_; The PANDA letter is so fitting that day as well. :pink:
Sushi bar with my brother before riding the train for Shinjuku..
SUPER YUMMY huhu why am I blogging at night with Japanese food cravings ;_;
For some reason, I started thinking about pursuing Graphic Design again. Before, I thought I should study fashion (hence my Bunka Fashion College dream) but I really contemplated about it.. and I didn't want to shell out more money when it comes to miscellaneous fees like buying your own materials, machines, etc.. too much already for me *_* Probably when I become really really really rich, I'll spend many years learning new things but I have to be more practical as of the moment. You could say that I am the type of person who loves to learn and experience new stuff which involves creativity (sewing, pattern-making, ningyo / doll-making, pottery, ikebana or flower arrangement, app design, vinyl toy creation, and MANY more)… but before trying out these things, I realized that I need to sharpen myself more in something I am already confident about..
and this is where graphic design comes in.
Feels like a rekindled love with something that I've been fiddling for 7 years or so already. :heart:
Moreover, I've always loved geeky creative stuff which includes photoshop / coding / video editing / interactive web design but for about a year or so, I stopped learning new tricks because of Nihongo & our home-based work. I gave myself reasons why I'm better off without updating my knowledge in these aspects that I've gotten so much experience already and for some reason, I kinda felt sad about it.. ;_;
That's why I got extremely happy when I got that "Eureka!" moment again. Even though I've finished a 4 yr. college degree (Advertising Management = more on the business side).. I'm still at a loss which path really to take. What to do with my life. My ultimate dream is to become a creative entrepreneur (and traveler of the world, haha) but I feel like I need to have many experiences first before settling with that one thing (maybe I won't settle, I always get the restless feeling anyway). Contrary to what people think, I don't really aim myself to become a super "blogger". Blogging and doing a good job in it have many perks but I know that I want to pursue other goals in life that do not involve my online life. ^^v
Getting inside the showroom of students' work really gave me goosebumps.
Maybe someday one of my ideas / works will be here. Or in another school…
I miss the feeling of being with classmates and learning with new friends!
Washi tape design creations by students.
Doraemon made out of lego bricks!
(This is Tokyo Designer Gakuin's showroom for the industrial design course.. if I'm not mistaken.)
Ginza Cozy Corner ichigo cakes are TO DIE FOR!!
Neko and Inu biscuits please *_*
Koara no Machi lucky packs + Toppo with Sakura (and a Rilakkuma sales person, haha)
Shinjuku view from a building.
Visited Biccamera along the way and found these cute camera corner!
FILM Camera bag, anyone??
Super cute and tiny cameras!
BISCUIT toy digital camera *_* SO CUTEEE
Love this color, reminds me of my favorite Biscuit.. MARIE :))
Carousel photo albums ;_;
SD Card Case kawaii-fied. *_*
Cute iPhone cases while strolling around Shinjuku..
Girly winter shoes that my brother hated..
Dinner before going home. Yoshinoya!!
Fluffy and warm socks for the tired feet. :happy:
I really wish that this Graphic Design goal will come true in the future. I need to practice my Japanese in real life + "upgrade" myself!! :yay:
That would be all, everyone.. ^^
Thanks for visiting and reading my blog~!
Forever a Dreamer カイラ

In the past, running a full slate of advertising pretty much guaranteed marketers national attention, full-range retail distribution and the sales that came with it. Virtually all of the great brands-from Kodak to Tide to Nike-were built with traditional advertising.
But in the new world of clutter-of 100 TV channels, 1 million Web sites and 3,000 marketing messages per day per consumer-the rules have changed dramatically.
Consumers are far more likely to purposely ignore your message than remember it.
A new axis to the advertising equation has emerged.
Impact isn't as important as permission. And permission marketing is the new science of extracting permission from prospects, which leads to attention, which leads to brand building, which ultimately may lead to purchase.
Think about it. You can't get someone to read your direct mail piece without his permission. It goes in the trash. People will no longer watch your TV commercial just because there's nothing else on. Your ad in The New Yorker won't get read unless the reader decides it's worth reading.
There's a finite amount of time in everyone's day; even Bill Gates can't buy a minute more. And if you want a slice of a consumer's day, you'd better get permission.
If you want to get married, you don't go to a singles bar and propose to each person you meet. Instead, you date for an extended period of time. And then you propose. Dating is another word for permission. Both sides agree to participate. And over time, each side uses opportunities to learn about the other and create a mutual dialogue.
Using permission marketing, you can begin the process of dating your prospects and slowly turning them into committed customers.
There are five basic rules of permission:
1. Permission must be granted; it cannot be presumed. Buying a mailing label for a direct marketing campaign is not permission-it's spam, and it will likely be ignored.
2. Consumers only grant permission if they perceive that there's something in it for them. And you've got only about 2 seconds to communicate what that something is.
3. Once you get permission, you must take care of it. If you cross a boundary or do something that offends the consumer, he can instantly revoke the permission.
4. You can't transfer permission from marketer to marketer. Remember, if you're dating someone, you can't just give someone else authority to go on the date in your place.
5. Measuring permission is the first step to forging a strong relationship. If you track permission levels instead of reach or hits, you're far more likely to build this incredibly valuable asset.
Here are some questions to help evaluate your performance on the permission marketing scale:
Does every single marketing piece you create invite consumers to contact you to begin dating?
Is a top-level executive in charge of your active permission database? If not, you're not serious about the effort.
Are there programs in place to turn strangers into friends?
Is there a curriculum you can easily walk someone through to learn about your products?
After someone becomes a customer, does your company actively work to expand the permission and make each customer more profitable?
We've already seen a handful of marketers reap the benefits of effectively executing permission marketing. Using permission marketing, H&R Block delivered 18 timed, ordered messages to 50,000 consumers over 90 days. The response rate to the campaign was more than 35%, and brand awareness increased 54% among participants. How did it get permission? By offering to pay the taxes of one lucky winner.
American Airlines sends you and millions of other travelers a piece of direct mail every month, and you read it. And you eagerly give American permission to talk to you, to track your behavior, to alert you to new opportunities.
Permission marketing demands that you invest in individuals, using marketing smarts to capture permission and convert it to trust. Start by auditing your marketing and eliminating immeasurable "branding" efforts that are a pale stand-in for the real thing-actual permission to market to people who choose to pay attention.

Our volunteers are helping to feed Hong Kong's hungry
17 May 2018
Our volunteers helped sort free food for the charity Feeding Hong Kong.
Ken Browning from our Hong Kong office says: "One in eight people here only have £3 a day to spend on food due to high living costs, so organisations like Feeding Hong Kong have a vital role to play.
"We helped process thousands of items supplied free by companies including Cathay Pacific, Sky Chefs, Marks and Spencer and Pret A Manger. All items needed checking and sorting before being sent to 75 charities that run food banks around Hong Kong."
Our volunteers spent a day working through several pallets of food. They were joined by volunteers from other companies.
With Cathay Pacific alone donating 45 tonnes of food and drink each month, there was a lot to do in just one day.
Ken says: "It's little wonder we ended the day with sore backs after shifting more than 3.6 tonnes of food. That's the equivalent of 8,500 meals. But it was a great day and very satisfying to do something for people in need on one of my last days before retiring."

About 4 months before Jacob was born we moved Joshua into a new room. He got new furniture and a new bed. He did really well with the transition --after I spent his first nap period putting him back into his bed over and over as he tested out the new situation. I wouldn't expect any less from my little guy.

Baskets!! and giveaway update
Welcome to new followers!!
Baskets seem to be popular!
I spent a happy day yesterday making more baskets and trays. I'm not really happy with the trays, as I made the bases from some .6mm veneer - two pieces glued in different directions. They were fine until I saw them this morning - they'd been in the sun and had curled a bit. Not too noticeable, but I'll have to work on improving the method.
The four black ones are Hogwarts themed colours.
Giveaway update - I have added two more basket sets, so now there will be seven winners.
See previous post for pics.
It's on March 31st - good luck!

I'm sorry you are so far away , I'd love to meet in person such a caring lady!ReplyDelete
have a wonderful day.
Every one over here admires your carpets!
Neomi( Israel)
Thanks, Neomi! I love making minis!ReplyDelete
I hope you are coping ok with your broken leg.
Best wishes from Glenda
They look really nice, you're a perfectionist aren't you ;)ReplyDelete
Have a fab weekend,
Haha, you caught me, Ira! It's an affliction I've learned to live with. :)ReplyDelete
Oh Glenda... Your baskets are wonderful! I love all the shapes and colors.ReplyDelete
I had fun - they all gave a different impression to me when I made them. Some seemed 'english', some seemed 'shabby chic', and the green ones look strangely like Maori flax-woven ethnic baskets.
I love the little baskets! So pretty. I won't even enter your generous giveaway as I have already been the recipient of your beautiful little rugs! Thank you again. I cherish them!ReplyDelete
I love them all....the flat trays are definitely very ethnic looking.ReplyDelete
Ah, Jody - go on, enter the giveaway!! No-one would deny you that!ReplyDelete
It's good that you've learned to live with the perfectionism - I have problems with the minis and my perfectionism - I have all these great ideas and visions but the end result is far from what I had in mind... Well, a bit of practise wouldn't hurt, but I also lack tons of patience so you can imagine the equation... Ripping my hair out occasionally :DReplyDelete
I've begun to learn that 'perfect' isn't human-friendly! When there's an imperfection (and there always is), I tell myself a story about how it came to have some 'character'!ReplyDelete
Also, if something doesn't go well, I put it away until I think of a better way - this usually happens in the middle of the night or in the shower!
I do have a lot of UFOs (UnFinished Objects) littering my room.
Practicing isn't my idea of a good time - I hated learning the piano. :P
I love the trays perfect for witches :-) bags are cool too your work is wonderful :-)ReplyDelete

This past week, Hurricane Irene brushed up against the coast of Florida. There were a few small spin-off storms and whatnot, but it pretty much missed Florida altogether. I still wanted to head to the coast to try to record something though, so I packed up and jumped into the car with my recording buddy, Josh (Twitter: @JoshuaGladu), and we headed over to Cocoa Beach to see what it was like out there. We drove through some pretty nasty storms on the way out, but to our surprise, it wasn't even raining in Cocoa Beach when we got there. The sky even cleared up enough to see the sunset. I knew the waves were going to be pretty big, and I … [Read more...]

Parker Hannifin Corporation reported results for the fiscal 2014 third quarter ended March 31, 2014. Fiscal 2014 third quarter sales increased 2 percent to $3.36 billion compared with $3.31 billion in the same quarter a year ago. Adjusting for a previously announced joint venture, fiscal 2014 third quarter sales increased 3 percent.
Fiscal 2014 third quarter net income was $242.5 million, and when adjusted for restructuring expenses, was $285 million. Net income in the prior year quarter was $256.6 million.
Cash flow from operations for the first nine months of fiscal 2014 was $817.5 million or 8.4 percent of sales compared with $718.8 million or 7.5 percent of sales in the prior year period. Excluding a discretionary contribution to the company's pension plan of $75 million and the impact of restructuring initiatives of $15 million in fiscal 2014, cash flow from operations was 9.4 percent of sales.
"We are pleased to have delivered strong operating margins in the third quarter, particularly in our Diversified Industrial International businesses," said Chairman, CEO and President Don Washkewicz. "Our previously announced restructuring initiatives are proceeding ahead of plan, with $86 million in pretax expenses incurred fiscal year-to-date. In addition, the improved order growth trend is an encouraging sign for the remainder of this fiscal year."
North American third quarter sales in the Diversified Industrial Segment increased 1.9 percent to $1.46 billion, and operating income was $243 million compared with $224.5 million in the same period a year ago. International third quarter sales increased 4.4 percent to $1.36 billion, and operating income was $126.9 million compared with $158.2 million in the same period a year ago. International operating income in the third quarter adjusted for the impact of restructuring expenses was $186.4 million.
Compared to the same period a year ago, third quarter sales in the Aerospace Systems Segment decreased 5.6 percent to $545.7 million, but increased 2 percent adjusting for the impact of the previously announced joint venture between Parker Aerospace and GE Aviation. Operating income was $64 million compared with $80.1 million in the same period a year ago, largely reflecting an unfavorable product mix.
Parker reported an increase of 7 percent in orders for the quarter ending March 31, 2014, compared with the same quarter a year ago. Orders increased 6 percent in the Diversified Industrial North America businesses,increased 5 percent in the Diversified Industrial International businesses; and increased 16 percent in the Aerospace Systems segment on a rolling 12-month average basis.
For the fiscal year ending June 30, 2014, the company has increased guidance for adjusted earnings per diluted share to the range of $6.40 to $6.60, or $6.50 at the midpoint. Fiscal 2014 adjusted earnings guidance includes increased restructuring expenses which are anticipated to be approximately $0.55 per diluted share, but does not include the gain associated with the previously announced joint venture and asset write downs recorded in the quarter ended December 31, 2013. Restructuring expenses were $0.28 per diluted share in the third quarter of fiscal 2014 and $0.40 per diluted share fiscal year-to-date.
"We have increased the midpoint of our guidance for fiscal year 2014 to reflect the impact of improved operating margins and positive order trends," Washkewicz said. "Considering the progress we have made, we expect to close the year strong and be well positioned going into fiscal year 2015."

"I matched them, Mama!" -MM(almost 3)
Return to Dead Man's Pond
Ha ha! I couldn't resist the title. It really is called Dead Man's Pond, and it's located in the woods in Victoria Park, Charlottetown. We went there several weeks ago and saw many, many frog eggs. This week we went back and saw many, many tadpoles!
Boys are Fun.
This is my 2-year-old pushing my 4-year-old. Then my 6-year-old joined the race on the 4-year-old's bike.
I just finished week five of my "Couch to 5K" program. That means that yesterday I actually jogged for 20 minutes without stopping. I am continually amazed at how quickly my body adapts to the challenges of this program. The first four weeks were hard. Then, somehow, my body caught up and it is not as hard anymore. I am not really losing much weight (maybe a pound a week) but I am deliberately not counting calories. I have never tried to lose weight while nursing such a young baby before (AJ is five months this week.). I will try to be content with the fitness gains for now, and hopefully that will help it to fall off at a safe rate when it's time.

Palace, Hull & Stoke Supposedly Interested In Signing QPR Defender?
A report in today's Daily Mirror claims that Crystal Palace, Hull and Stoke City are all interested in signing QPR defender Nedum Onouha ahead of the Hoops' imminent relegation to the Championship.
The former Manchester City man, now 28, has another year to run on his current contract but is apparently almost certain to leave Loftus Road in the next few months, with a fee of £2 million being seen by most as enough to force QPR's hand.
With Palace having mathematically secured their place in the top fight for another season yesterday, despite losing their fourth consecutive game at the hands of Manchester United, Alan Pardew's side now represent a feasible option for any player looking to put down solid roots in the Premier League, regardless of completion from elsewhere.
Despite Palace's potential interest, Mark Hughes' Stoke side are likely to move ahead of us in the pecking order if they are serious about a deal, with the current Potters boss having worked with Onouha at Manchester City a few years ago.
Whilst a move to Selhurst Park would mean a complete change of lifestyle for the defender, a switch to the Britannia Stadium would require far less upheaval on a personal level, and consequently, may convince him to join Hughes over ourselves.

I'm currently working with several of our startups that are preparing for their next funding rounds. During our discussions, a common question our entrepreneurs ask is how their startup should be valued.
We then go through the different ways in which most startup investors think about valuations. We look for benchmark revenue, gross profit, EBITDA, or other multiples which we then adjust for differences in the target market size or growth rates of our company and the benchmark company. We also start off from the size of the market our startup is attacking and apply successive shares for the percentage of the market that will be online and the company's eventual market share in the online part of the industry, before then discounting the result by the investor's return expectation to arrive at a valuation. There are other creative approaches.
Depending on the approach and the assumptions we use, we reach a pretty wide range of potential valuations. This is why valuing companies, and especially startups, is an art, not a science.
However, I always conclude our discussion by stating what I believe is the most scientific part of the valuation process. For most startups, it's also the single most important factor for the company's valuation. It's the number of bidders you have at the table.
The more investors you can convince to believe in your startup and offer to invest, the greater your negotiating power. Investors also talk with each other so they're likely to know when there's competition for a deal. And you can always tell them that you have competing offers. Just be sure to be truthful (again, investors talk with each other so if you're not truthful they're likely to find out) and try to respect each investor's privacy by not sharing their identity with other investors.
And the greater your negotiating power, the better terms, including valuation, you will be able to secure for your startup. In the art of the startup valuation process, the law of supply and demand is perhaps the only science.

Comparators and metaphors
October 14, 2016
I'm constantly amazed at the use of some quite random objects as comparators typically when describing size and scale.

I'm not entirely sure that these references are [...]

And so I've spent a lot of energy in the past few years trying to learn more about where I came from. One thing I'd observed and wanted to know the reason for: Hokkiens really, really like sugarcane. It's there on altars or near doors whenever there's a big festival; when you pass a bridal car on the street you know if at least part of the happy couple is Hokkien by the four feet or more of sugarcane stalk protruding from the car window. I wonder now why I've never heard of any traffic incidents caused by a motorcyclist or pedestrian getting swiped by sugarcane.
Image by Jesuino Souza
So, the short version of all that I've gathered from talking to relatives and reading strangers' blogs: the Hokkiens were once on the run from enemies. Sugarcane plantations were the only place that provided cover for our trembling ancestors while their homes got sacked and pillaged. And ever since then, the strong, flexible stalks have been a symbol of our thanks. They're present at every major milestone of life to remind us how fortunate we are that life goes on at all.
I also learnt that it's on the ninth day of each year (which falls today and YAY I just proved I still have some level of attachment to this blog and I am so glad I finally have a timely post, even if it did entail having lunch at my desk) that we ritually give thanks for our deliverance as a people. I wouldn't know first hand; see beginning of post. But I have always known that there's a day during the Chinese New Year period when my relatives go the whole hog -- actually, the whole pig (roasted, head on) -- preparing food and paper offerings. By the time I got old enough to ask questions, I was also old enough to decide I didn't want to ask them because I rather prefer sweet silence to another blood pressure raising, high-volume lecture on idolatry.
Much of my energy is spent on understanding why people say and do the things they do; when I fail to arrive at comprehension, I try to accept and tolerate because I think that is how you avert most of life's destructive moments. There are things worth fighting for but once they've been identified, you realise how much else there is, therefore how much isn't worth fighting over. So I don't bear any grudges for having had huge parts of my heritage withheld from me in my formative years. There's nothing I can do now to change it all.
I'm only left wondering: how do you get so hung up on whom to thank and how to express those thanks that you cause your entire family not to give thanks at all?

Choosing Cooking Equipment like a Restaurant Oven Means Considering BTU Heating Measurements
When it comes to shopping for cooking equipment, the British thermal unit (BTU) is king and finding your way through his empire can be tricky. The most important thing to know is that more is typically better, including when you're shopping for a restaurant oven.
King BTU: Who He is, What He Does, & Why He Reigns in Commercial Ovens
The BTU is a measure of potential heat energy, specifically the amount of energy needed to change the temperature of one pound of water by 1 degree F. When it comes to cooking equipment, the BTU measurement you see is typically an hourly average for the heating power of the restaurant oven in question. Though it's not likely the first thing that pops into your mind when you hear the term "BTU", but BTU is also used in commercial refrigeration, since it quantifies energy needed to both heat and cool a pound of water 1 degree.
For some food applications, BTU measurements will be important because they'll use the commercial oven mainly for high-temperature cooking like broiling. However, in most applications the BTU measures something else much more important: Recovery time.
Every time you open the door of your restaurant oven and/or put something you're cooking into it, you lose heat. Some of it escapes. Some of it goes into whatever you just put into your cooking equipment. Wherever it goes, there's a bit less heat in the cavity. The more BTUs the element inside your commercial oven is capable of producing, the faster it will recover that lost heat, which will speed up the time it takes to cook your food and give it more even temperatures throughout.
The importance of BTUs for restaurant ovens varies depending on the type of oven and the circumstances under which it's used. Typically, BTU measurements are most important for cooking equipment like fryers and cooktops, where quick recoveries can mean quicker table turns. Still, a commercial oven with a sizable BTU capability can be critical for some foodservice operations.
Obviously those that do a lot of cooking in an oven, like bakeries, would be included in that list. So would high-volume kitchens that use an oven for finishing purposes like melting cheese or browning, since they may be opening and closing the oven doors frequently. Finally, operations that do a lot of high-temperature cooking like broiling can benefit from beefier BTU outputs that can allow them to move the mercury higher and keep it there.
What it All Means: Notes on the Power of the BTU for a Restaurant Oven
- BTUs measure heat energy, so the more a commercial oven offers, the more heat it can put out.
- More is typically better when it comes to BTUs.
- To get more BTUs you need more fuel, so expect higher utility bills the more BTUs your restaurant oven packs.
- Higher BTUs equal faster cooking, which can mean more customers and/or more product in a day. That all translates to the potential for higher profits.
- In the hierarchy of cooking equipment for which BTUs are important, restaurant ovens are near the top, trailing heat-intensive things like commercial fryers and Mongolian grills.
- Among commercial ovens, pizza ovens can particularly benefit from higher BTU capabilities, since that can equip them to produce pies more quickly and to provide the crispy crust some customers prefer.

Lara, who is 38 on 2 May, had already said he would quit one-dayers but was expected to play in the four-Test series in England, which begins in May.
"On Saturday I'll be bidding farewell to international cricket as a player," he told a news conference.
"I've already spoken to the board and my players."
The reasons for Lara's change of mind are yet to be explained but he will retire as Test cricket's leading scorer with 11,953 runs from 131 matches and holds the record for the highest Test score, an unbeaten 400 against England in Antigua in 2004.
He captained his side in 47 Tests, winning 10, in three separate spells.
The game against England will be his 299th one-day international but marks the end of the World Cup for both sides, who have failed to qualify for the semi-finals.
Lara's captaincy has come in for criticism but he said: "I hold West Indies cricket dear to my heart. It's been a good run and I've enjoyed every single day.
"I want to be remembered as a batsman who provided entertainment to the fans and in adversity tried my best to perform.
"At any point in time, if they need me to make a contribution [in the future] outside the playing field, I am willing to help. I played with some great players and whenever it's time to pay back, I will be there."
Vice-captain Ramnaresh Sarwan is the most likely candidate to lead the side in the first Test against England, which begins at Lord's on 17 May.
But Lara hinted at disagreements with the West Indies Cricket Board when he said: "Whoever takes over the team, it is important he gets whole-hearted support from everyone."
Lara added that he was sad the team had disappointed Caribbean cricket fans during the World Cup.
But former West Indies captain Sir Garfield Sobers insisted Lara was not responsible for the team's under-performance.
"The facts are that in the last two and a half years the West Indies have had a tremendous amount of problems," Sobers said.
"One, the West Indies Board didn't have enough money to have enough [training] camps. Two, there were always problems with not being able to field a strong team, there were strikes and all kinds of problems.
"To build a house, if you don't have a solid foundation, you are going to have problems later on. People don't seem to realise this."

I spent my weekend weathering a blizzard (well, a heavy dumping of snow is probably more accurate) in South Lake Tahoe at the staph retreat/orientation for Stanford Sierra Camp. The mountains, seclusion, and the relentless (but genuine) uberenthusiasm of former camp staph wrapped the 40+ of us in a shared feeling that promises a stellar summer. What follows is a bit about Sierra Camp to convince you to apply next year or to come visit us this summer.
Recruitment video:
Stanford Sierra Camp is a conference center by spring/fall, Stanford alumni family camp by summer. It's located just out of South Lake Tahoe at Fallen Leaf Lake:
The i-com (interview committee) prides itself on its goal of diversity, attempting to select students from all walks of life and all identities. I met people in my own class that I've never met on campus before. We never bumped into each other in lecture, and/or we belong to different communities: sports teams, greek organizations, and the like. I think our staph is a microcosm of the university; I'll be working along side international students, athletes, sorority girls, musicians, queers, etc. in a representative blend. By completing a multi-page application, talking through two rounds of interviews, and performing a show and tell skit, we all know everyone really, really wants to be in Tahoe for the summer, so there's already a palpable sense of community bound by enthusiasm and mutual respect.
Though I may already want to make out with most of my fellow staph, I want to caress the camp's surroundings. SSC's little patch of cabins is at the end of a winding one-lane road, smooshed between a pristine lake and undeveloped mountains on all sides. Camp's boundaries end where Desolation Wilderness begins. This weekend, nature blanketed our entire surroundings with a hefty white fluff, inviting snow angels and imparting a sense of balance and warmth. SSC's mission includes educating visitors on environmental sustainability and respect for Mother Nature, so I was able to somewhat reconcile my guilt brought forth by SSC's little scar of human development amidst the natural refuge. I stayed on the lakefront in a cabin John Steinbeck built (Point 43), where gusts of howling wind and old windows competed with a faithful heating system. In the summer, the lake will generously provide us with sailing, water skiiing, swimming, tubing, canoeing, and fishing, but we couldn't wait until warmer times to get intimate with this seductive body – about 15 of us lost our ability to breathe or fill a speedo when we jumped in after dinner. Much merriment and anti-hypothermia activities followed.
So I'm gushing, almost grossly, but I believe rightly so. Next winter, when you're considering the confines of a cubicle in resume-building internships, consider applying to Sierra Camp instead. You're only young once, and this is an opportunity not to be passed up. And besides, this camp serves Stanford Alumni, and many campers have been known to get hired on the spot, no internship required.

It's hard to imagine — especially for young smartphone fanatics — that Morse code could be faster than text messaging.
But that's the conclusion of a new exhibit devoted to communication at the Glazer Children's Museum.
"Get the Message" has 15 hands-on stations for kids to explore different forms of communication, from totem poles to sign language.
The instant messaging station uses a video clip from The Tonight Show with Jay Leno pitting two guys text messaging against two guys using Morse code. Contrary to an audience member's prediction, the Morse code team is the first to convey the message: "I just saved a bunch of money on my car insurance." The men in vintage news-editor uniforms cheer the 170-year-old technology.
"Get the Message" caters to children ages 5 and up — slightly older than the Clifford the Big Red Dog exhibit it replaced. It exposes visitors to the various ways we send and receive information and messages on a daily basis, starting with the simplest human facial expressions.
All stations are interactive and require basic reading skills to achieve the full effect. Kids can use hand signals to tell a crane operator how to move a load or sit at a TV anchor desk reading from a teleprompter.
Other stations let users create cave drawings and identify signature sounds on a touch screen, from an ambulance to an alarm clock. Visitors can also make a front page of a newspaper with their name and photo in the top story.
The exhibit, which is part of regular museum admission, opened Saturday and runs through May 6. It was developed by the Discovery Center Museum in Rockford, Ill., and the Family Museum in Bettendorf, Iowa, and sponsored by the National Science Foundation.
Officials brought it to the Glazer museum to show how science and communication can connect in fun ways.

Okay friends and fellow bloggers….this is a yearly event that frugal people die for! This coming weekend is the "NCJW/Cleveland's 45th Designer Dress Days Sale" which will begin on October 25, 2013. It will be held at the The Mandel Jewish Community Center located at 26001 South Woodland Road Beachwood, OH 44122 !!!!!
For those frugal divas who love designer fashion but refuse to pay those ridiculous retail prices for it…can now get it at a fraction of a fraction of the cost!!!! You can find designers from Burberry, St. john, Chanel, Carlisle, Escada, to Armani. There are accessories, jewelry, furs and fur accessories (I don't support the killing of animals to provide luxury coverings for our bodies…but honestly we have worn fur since Adam and Eve…I'm just sayin"!!)
You can find "new and gently worn upscale resale at phenomenal prices, a shopping experience different from all others", states their ad in the MaxValues magazine. In the current ad (which I received this week) there is a coupon!!!….$5 off a $50 purchase!!! (I provided a link to their website so you can get a coupon too 🙂
Now there is something a little different about this sale…the first day of the sale is October 25th….this is called the preview sale and costs $20 to attend! (which the coupon is not valid for).
However, the sale days, which run from October 27th-October 29th offers free admission. But get this…..on October 28th,,,everything is 20% off….and even better, on October 29th..everything is 50% off!!
Now you can look at that two ways….is all the good stuff gone in the first day? or do you bear down and wait for the 50% off day and pick through what is leftover? Choices, choices, choices!
The hours: October 25, 2013 from 10am-4pm, October 27, 2015 from 10am-5pm, and October 28 & 29, 2013 from 10am-8pm.
The proceeds from this sale support the National Council of Jewish Women/Cleveland Community Service Projects and Advocacy Initiatives. If you want more information go to their website, which I provided a link to above.
Happy Frrrreeeee Hunting!

Mr. Holohan admitted that the artistes were no good but the committee, he said, had decided to let the first three concerts go as they pleased and reserve all the talent for Saturday night. Mrs. Kearney said nothing, but, as the mediocre items followed one another on the platform and the few people in the hall grew fewer and fewer, she began to regret that she had put herself to any expense for such a concert. There was something she didn't like in the look of things and Mr. Fitzpatrick's vacant smile irritated her very much. However, she said nothing and waited to see how it would end. The concert expired shortly before ten, and everyone went home quickly.
The concert on Thursday night was better attended, but Mrs. Kearney saw at once that the house was filled with paper. The audience behaved indecorously, as if the concert were an informal dress rehearsal. Mr. Fitzpatrick seemed to enjoy himself; he was quite unconscious that Mrs. Kearney was taking angry note of his conduct. He stood at the edge of the screen, from time to time jutting out his head and exchanging a laugh with two friends in the corner of the balcony. In the course of the evening, Mrs. Kearney learned that the Friday concert was to be abandoned and that the committee was going to move heaven and earth to secure a bumper house on Saturday night. When she heard this, she sought out Mr. Holohan. She buttonholed him as he was limping out quickly with a glass of lemonade for a young lady and asked him was it true. Yes. it was true.
"But, of course, that doesn't alter the contract," she said. "The contract was for four concerts."
Mr. Holohan seemed to be in a hurry; he advised her to speak to Mr. Fitzpatrick. Mrs. Kearney was now beginning to be alarmed. She called Mr. Fitzpatrick away from his screen and told him that her daughter had signed for four concerts and that, of course, according to the terms of the contract, she should receive the sum originally stipulated for, whether the society gave the four concerts or not. Mr. Fitzpatrick, who did not catch the point at issue very quickly, seemed unable to resolve the difficulty and said that he would bring the matter before the committee. Mrs. Kearney's anger began to flutter in her cheek and she had all she could do to keep from asking:
"And who is the Cometty pray?"
But she knew that it would not be ladylike to do that: so she was silent.
Little boys were sent out into the principal streets of Dublin early on Friday morning with bundles of handbills. Special puffs appeared in all the evening papers, reminding the music loving public of the treat which was in store for it on the following evening. Mrs. Kearney was somewhat reassured, but be thought well to tell her husband part of her suspicions. He listened carefully and said that perhaps it would be better if he went with her on Saturday night. She agreed. She respected her husband in the same way as she respected the General Post Office, as something large, secure and fixed; and though she knew the small number of his talents she appreciated his abstract value as a male. She was glad that he had suggested coming with her. She thought her plans over.
The night of the grand concert came. Mrs. Kearney, with her husband and daughter, arrived at the Antient Concert Rooms three-quarters of an hour before the time at which the concert was to begin. By ill luck it was a rainy evening. Mrs. Kearney placed her daughter's clothes and music in charge of her husband and went all over the building looking for Mr. Holohan or Mr. Fitzpatrick. She could find neither. She asked the stewards was any member of the committee in the hall and, after a great deal of trouble, a steward brought out a little woman named Miss Beirne to whom Mrs. Kearney explained that she wanted to see one of the secretaries. Miss Beirne expected them any minute and asked could she do anything. Mrs. Kearney looked searchingly at the oldish face which was screwed into an expression of trustfulness and enthusiasm and answered:
"No, thank you!"
The little woman hoped they would have a good house. She looked out at the rain until the melancholy of the wet street effaced all the trustfulness and enthusiasm from her twisted features. Then she gave a little sigh and said:
"Ah, well! We did our best, the dear knows."
Mrs. Kearney had to go back to the dressing-room.
The artistes were arriving. The bass and the second tenor had already come. The bass, Mr. Duggan, was a slender young man with a scattered black moustache. He was the son of a hall porter in an office in the city and, as a boy, he had sung prolonged bass notes in the resounding hall. From this humble state he had raised himself until he had become a first-rate artiste. He had appeared in grand opera. One night, when an operatic artiste had fallen ill, he had undertaken the part of the king in the opera of Maritana at the Queen's Theatre. He sang his music with great feeling and volume and was warmly welcomed by the gallery; but, unfortunately, he marred the good impression by wiping his nose in his gloved hand once or twice out of thoughtlessness. He was unassuming and spoke little. He said yous so softly that it passed unnoticed and he never drank anything stronger than milk for his voice's sake. Mr. Bell, the second tenor, was a fair-haired little man who competed every year for prizes at the Feis Ceoil. On his fourth trial he had been awarded a bronze medal. He was extremely nervous and extremely jealous of other tenors and he covered his nervous jealousy with an ebullient friendliness. It was his humour to have people know what an ordeal a concert was to him. Therefore when he saw Mr. Duggan he went over to him and asked:
"Are you in it too? "
"Yes," said Mr. Duggan.
Mr. Bell laughed at his fellow-sufferer, held out his hand and said:

As you would expect of any movie shot in a week, some stock footage of a black panther (and other animals) is shown just so you know that this is set in a South American jungle. In other words, this is cheap movie and the big cat is meant to be a black jaguar.
Later, as Barney Chavez (Raymond Burr) wanders the wilderness thinking about his curse, a previously rear-projected leopard from a completely different continent appears in the trees.

Tomorrow morning at 6 am I will be on my way to Daytona for the 18th edition of Daytona Biketoberfest. And during the 220 miles trip north to my destination I will probably think again of the year 1992, the 1st edition to which I participated. As the event objectives were, every following year we boosted tourism, brought new money to the city coffers and merchants, made it a shorter Daytona Bike Week and of course also made good business showing and selling our ware, bikes and shop tees.
Biketoberfest became the most profitable event for most of us. Less people than during Bike Week, but with a higher proportion of very serious buyers just before the winter custom building season. Beach Street was the main hub of traffic because the custom scene elite was based there on both sides of "Custom Alley". The crescendo of activity must have been reached in 2003 or 2004. Then, slowly and then abruptly our US economy began to tread water. Nostalgia of the time when Daytona traffic was our only Biketoberfest concern to ride our bikes from photo shoots to bike shows to evening professional events and to late night parties…and back at the displays in the morning where being 1 hour late was a lot of lost new business…Times are changing. No they have already changed. My daily contacts with many industry players seem to confirm that the fall is slowing down, like an immense parachute has been opened above us with a new ground in sight. I hear about business picking up for some of us. It is also true for me, especially with orders coming from Europe… I don't expect to observe any euphoria when I arrive in Daytona, but I will track any sign of recovery by spending time with all my friends of the industry. As much as I can, if I am not being betrayed by the Wi-Fi God, I will report "live" on what I hear and see. TTYT (talk to you tomorrow).

He analyzes styles, sizes, uses, and smells in fascinating chapters that cover the territory. Though Layton's crudely drawn cartoon illustrations provide more jocular side commentary than actual information, this breezy introduction will give young readers with a certain tolerance for (or attraction to) the yuckier side of natural history the scoop on poop—at least in the animal kingdom. For more on the human side, pair this with Susan Goodman's The Truth About Poop, illustrated by Elwood H. Smith (p. 393). (Nonfiction. 7-9)

Since 2004, Hardwire's research and development activities have focused on emerging armor technologies for the military. Our team has worked on Defense Advanced Research Project Agency (DARPA), Navy, Marine Corps, and Army contracts to develop and transition lightweight armor systems to protect the warfighter.
Hardwire's armor solutions range from hybrid composite to fully composite solutions. The Hardwire team has developed, tested, and fielded armor to protect against a variety of threats, ranging from small arms to improvised explosive devices (IEDs) to Explosively Formed Penetrators (EFPs) to underbody blast.
Our ballistic experts can customize armor recipes for customers to properly balance armor performance, weight, and cost. In-house ballistic test facilities allow the Hardwire team to rapidly respond to customer needs. Our unique, high-capacity manufacturing capability enables us to provide armor solutions quickly and cost effectively. For more information about a specific requirement, please contact us. Our team stands at the ready to respond.
Hardwire is the EFP armor kit supplier for the MaxxPro, MaxxPro DASH, and M-ATV Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) Vehicles. From 2008 – 2010, we produced over 5,000 armor kits with more than 350,000 individual parts. 100% of the kits were delivered on time and zero parts were rejected.
The Hardwire team focuses on high quality, cost effective armor solutions which can be mass produced. We deliver on time and meet expected performance.
Our materials have been proven in all types of environments. We design armor kits to meet various temperature, fire, and water resistance requirements. From marine to desert to mountainous terrain, our armor is proven.
Under contract to the U.S. Army Tank Automotive Research, Development, and Engineering Center (TARDEC), Hardwire developed the Ultra Light Vehicle (ULV). The ULV project began with the goal to design, develop, and build lightweight tactical vehicle research prototypes, emphasizing occupant survivability as well as:
The effort was completed successfully in only 16 months.
Hardwire is known for developing "out-of-the-box" solutions. The Structural Blast Chimney (SBC) is a unique approach to solve the underbody blast problem. The SBC provides cab stiffening and vents blast gases during an underbody blast. This has been demonstrated in multiple full-scale government tests. When combined with underbody hull shaping, energy-absorbing floors, and energy-absorbing seats, the survivability of the warfighter improves.
Feel free to contact us for more information about the SBC.

Beautiful And Secure Privacy FencingReviewing: Veranda Lancaster 6ft. Privacy Vinyl Fencing | Rating:
We had wooden fencing that needed replacement. After much debate and driving around to check out fencing at other homes my husband and I decided on installing white 6 ft. vinyl fencing. So far we have installed it on either side of our home to the neighbors wood fence and just the change from wood to the white was awesome. It gave our home a brand new look. My husband, daughter and I did the installation ourselves in a couple of evenings after work. Not only does it look nice when you pass by on the street but the back side is just as beautiful which is a great improvement over the old wood fence. I feel more secure in knowing no one can wander into the backyard pool area. This is the best ever low maintenance purchase we have added to our home. A quick rinse with the hose after all the snow has melted and it is clean again. Since installing this fence we also added a small white picket fence made of the same vinyl material in front of a portion of the house and built a flower garden in front of it. Vinyl fencing is more expensive but it will never rot and I will never have to stain wood fencing again.
