Deere unveils new ways to serve buyers of farm equipment. Last December, Nashville was less the stage for country music singers and recording agents than it was for dealers of John Deerefarm machinery. More than 4,500 dealers donned company name tags as they inundated the 9-plus-acre Opryland Hotel Convention Center. They were there to discuss the company's product support strategy for the year 2000 and beyond at the annual Aftermarket Exposition, now in its 10th year. And, for the first time, the company invited select farmers and journalists to listen in.
What Deere has figured out is that the future and profit of its business is less in the product it sells than in the service. Although it says it will continue "to design innovative and productive farm equipment with distinctive features," the advantage over the competition has narrowed. And buyers of these products are becoming fewer in number and more demanding due to increased market pressures and their newfound strength as a sought-after minority with the majority of purchasing power.
In response, Deere is changing the way its dealers have done business for years, according to Rick Thompson, manager of parts marketing for Deere. "Today, we deal on a transaction basis, meaning I have this part and I will sell this part to you, or I will do this service work for you at this expense," he explains. "Now we need to move more toward a solutions mode to offer customers different options so they can choose the product and price they want."
Here is a look at the newest strategies that Deere dealers will be offering to secure your business after the sale.
One-stop shopping. Many farmers today own more than one color of machinery. And rather than trying to change that, Deere is attempting to become a one-stop shop for ag parts of all makes and models.
Deere dealers have been adding maintenance items such as filters, bearings and belts for other makes for the last six years, but with limited success, according to Thompson. "Our blood runs green," Thompson says. "But markets are changing and we know we need to expand that effort." So in late November, Deere purchased a minority interest in A & I, a manufacturer and distributor of remanufactured tractor and combine parts, to offer a greater variety of those parts at a price that is below the OEM price.
Deere also launched a Web site called www.MachineFinder.com where Deere dealers can post all makes and models of used equipment they have in stock. To search the site, you simply enter the category, model and specifications you are looking for, and the site will bring up all the matches for sale, including photos, an inspection form, price and ma-chinery specifications. You can even place an order to buy the machine.
In December, Deere added a new auction feature, called www.Machine FinderAuction.com to this site to allow buyers to bid on the used equipment.
Parts when you need them. According to a recent survey conducted by Deere, the number-one cause of dissatisfaction among customers, regardless of which product line they buy, is not having repair parts available when a machine breaks down. To ensure better parts availability, Deere recently renovated its dealer Web site, formerly called John Deere Personal Service (JDPS) and now called www.JDParts.Deere. com. Now a customer can electronically search his dealer's inventories for availability of parts and even place an order so that when he comes into the store, the dealer will have the parts ready. "It opens the parts store 24 hours a day and seven days a week," says Cary David, project manager of parts Internet applications.
You can even search for parts for other makes of machinery with a new feature called Cross-Search. "So, if you [need] a bearing for a non-John Deere machine, you could see if there is a Deere bearing that will work in that machine," David explains.
Another new service offered by many John Deere dealers is CounterParts. If the part you need isn't in stock at your dealer when you go to pick it up, the dealer will provide it for free the next business morning. "We're the only one in the industry to offer a guarantee like that," says Gary Machetta, manufacturing manager of service parts.
The service applies only to owners of John Deere 8000 or 9000 TEN series tractors and for maintenance parts, wear parts and repair parts that are replaceable within two to four hours.
These include batteries, bearings, filters, hydraulic hoses, belts, sensors, fuel lines, water pumps and various electric components. However, this summer, the program will be expanded to include 7000 series wheel tractors and 50 series combines. "A lot of dealers have signed up to offer this program, and we will see more as new tractors are shipped to their lots," Machetta says.
Deere dealers are able to make such an offer because they are beginning to code and stock parts according to their importance in keeping a machine running. For example, parts that can be installed in less than two hours, such as O-rings, hydraulic lines and alternators, are typically kept in stock at all times. Parts that are installed in more than two hours and require disassembly and reassembly, such as gaskets, sensors and compressors, are stocked at a 90% order fill rate. Stocking based on those categories is designed to provide better parts availability.
In-field service. It used to be that if you wanted to get your tractor or combine serviced, you usually had to bring it into your local dealer. But that old method cost you money in both transportation and downtime. To cut both those costs for customers, more John Deere dealers are investing in mobile service trucks that come to you to do the repair work.
These trucks are equipped with everything you'd see at a dealer's shop, including cranes, air compressors, welders and generators. And the technicians driving them are equipped with a hardened field laptop called a Service Advisor. The laptop has all of the technical manuals loaded inside along with software that can diagnose machinery problems right in the field just by hooking up to the machine. "This is the most significant advance in service in the last 25 years," says Tim Mahan, manager of aftermarket services. The computer can even walk the technician through the stages needed to complete the repair, which further reduces downtime. "We can have the machine fixed in the amount of time it would have taken to load it on a flatbed and haul it to the dealer," says Rick Langford, manager of aftermarket marketing processes.
Currently only a minority of dealers have these trucks because it is still a new concept. "But after this show, there will be considerably more," Langford says.
Dealers also are purchasing mobile lube trucks so that you can have maintenance as well as repair work performed on the farm. The service person will perform all the routine maintenance tasks such as changing filters, oil and other fluids and will dispose of the waste oil and filters for you.
To ensure that the maintenance work is performed at factory-specified intervals, you can enter into a service contract with your dealer called the PowerGard Maintenance Program. All work performed, along with the labor, parts replaced, transportation, mileage and costs, are entered in a computer and printed out for your review and records. You can use the information to budget how much it will cost to maintain your equipment on a per-hour basis and to reduce downtime by preempting problems before they lead to breakdowns. Cost for such a service will vary by location and service intervals defined in the contract.
Crop record keeping. Finally, another way Deere is hoping to improve its service to customers is through a new joint venture with Farmland and Growmark to provide an Internet-based crop record-keeping service called VantagePoint Network (see "Decision-making tool," Mid-February 1999, page 10).
Growers can download all of the yield and location data collected by their Greenstar combine yield monitor into the system along with data of other field activities such as seed varieties, chemical and fertilizer applications, and machinery operations. They can also enter all expenses and income to determine break-even yield and to generate a profitability report at the end of the year. The data are confidential.
The service also provides weather information, ag news, market reports, maps of roads and soils, free e-mail access and satellite maps of fields. Cost of the program is $19.95/month. But a new offer, just announced, waives the charge for buyers of a new or used JD 7000, 8000, or 9000 TEN series tractor.
For more information, contact your local John Deere dealer or John Deere North American Agricultural Marketing Center, Dept. FIN, 11145 Thompson Ave., Lenexa, KS 66219, 913/310-8324.

"What a mess," was the grim verdict of a Tory strategist last night as he tried to make sense of things. "It's the worst of all possible outcomes."
The senior MP was not alone in his view. Within a few hours of the messy election result, disaffected activists were already casting around for scapegoats.
David Cameron might have struck a dignified and authoritative tone of national unity, but among MPs and activists, all hell broke loose.
On grassroots forums on the internet, real trouble was brewing. Some openly discussed who might replace Mr Cameron if attempts at forming a government fell apart.
Others got to work dissecting the campaign. Steve Hilton, director of strategy, and Andy Coulson, director of communications, were blamed for getting the central message wrong.
Blogs were replete with complaints that a core vote strategy, including more right wing policies on tax and immigration, would have delivered a majority.
How different the mood was compared to the "hope, optimism and change" that Mr Cameron had promised when he stood on the banks of the Thames four weeks ago to launch the Tory election campaign.
But privately, we can reveal, Mr Cameron was very far from confident of victory even then.
A few weeks earlier, Lord Ashcroft had told Tory colleagues in a secret briefing that the result would be tight. Mr Cameron would get only "a very small, working majority" or else be facing the prospect of trying to form a minority government.
If so, he said, Mr Cameron should not despair. "There will be no political magic in the Lib Dems doing a deal with Brown," Lord Ashcroft predicted.
During the campaign, Mr Cameron would roll up his shirt sleeves on hustings platforms surrounded by youthful faces, a clear echo of the Obama "campaign for change".
But unlike the Obama campaign he would struggle to keep the momentum. His would be a roller-coaster ride of ups and downs.
Mr Cameron's bid for power had started convincingly, with the stunningly successful pledge made a week before the campaign to reverse the National Insurance increase planned by Gordon Brown.
In the wake of the announcement by George Osborne, the Shadow Chancellor, that the party would end "Labour's jobs tax", 23 business leaders backed Cameron and dozens more would come out over the following weeks, sending a powerful message that the tide had turned on Labour.
This vital mood music echoed a similar groundswell moment for Tony Blair in the 1997 campaign when big business chose him over the Tories.
For Cameron, it was a strategic victory that just went on giving, as more business names were unveiled as the weeks went on.
Mr Osborne spent the campaign authoritatively chairing the morning press conferences and basking in the glory of having set the Tories on the path to power.
In fact, the National Insurance cut was the brainchild of Ken Clarke, the shadow business secretary.
That the former Chancellor wanted no credit for it is testament to how tightly united the Tory team had become as they battled to win.
Barely a week in, and they were handed a further gift. A cack-handed attempt by Labour to lampoon Cameron as a man of the past saw them launch a poster of him as the cult TV hero Gene Hunt from Ashes to Ashes.
A delighted Steve Hilton, the Conservative head of strategy, seized the mistake and ran with it.
Posters were launched gleefully accepting that yes, Cameron was an 80s man, if that meant taking us back to a booming economy.
Dave was reborn as a bit of a geezer. Meanwhile, a pregnant Samantha Cameron set off on her own election tour of Britain, visiting social action projects up and down the country and bringing a touch of glamour to the Tory campaign.
The launch of the Tory manifesto, by contrast, was a sober affair. The hardback book, titled Invitation to Join the Government of Britain, won plaudits for its serious, scholarly approach.
The work of Oliver Letwin, it revealed that the Tories' "big idea" – something commentators had been demanding for months – was a concept called The Big Society.
But this met with mixed reviews. Many candidates complained bitterly that they couldn't sell the idea to voters and a simpler pitch was needed.
As activists complained, Bill Knapp, the US political consultant hired to help Mr Cameron, asked Hilton what research had been done into what voters thought of the The Big Society.
The answer was none. After a hurriedly convened focus group detailed a negative reaction, Mr Hilton stormed out.
There were other problems on the doorsteps too. The Ashcroft target seats campaign was running into trouble. Charlie Whelan, former spin doctor to Gordon Brown and now political director of the Unite union, was directing a counter offensive.
Picking his battlegrounds carefully, and wielding a union budget of several million pounds, Whelan set about limiting the effect of the Ashcroft money.
Millions of letters and emails were sent to potential Labour households. Those working on the campaign estimate that they made 50,000 phone calls.
They set about stopping the advance of the Tories' Joanne Cash in Westminster North, and George Galloway in Poplar and Limehouse. In the latter seat they rang every single Unite member.
They singled out five seats for intensive care in Scotland and three in the north east, all of which they won. The strategy would help to explain why results were so patchy.
In areas where Unite cash and manpower had been forthcoming, the swings from Labour to Tory were notably limited.
By the time Nick Clegg exploded onto the scene at the first televised leaders' debate, there were grumblings in Tory circles that the campaign was losing direction.
After the Liberal Democrat leader wowed voters with his populist performance – and Mr Cameron underwhelmed with an understated display – activists were incredulous.
Why, many of them asked, had Tory HQ not foreseen this terrifying new menace called the Liberal Democrats?
A rash of new opinion polls putting the Tories on a lower share of the vote than the Lib Dems, saw party members on Conservativehome openly discussing who would replace Cameron if the Tories lost.
Inside CCHQ there were bitter recriminations about who was to blame for this apparent reversal in fortunes. Some blamed Steve Hilton, director of strategy, for coming up with the idea of demanding a TV debate.
Others singled out George Bridges, campaign director, for devising the idea in 2007 of "love-bombing the Libs".
This was a strategy in which Tory candidates were told to talk up the similarities between them and their Lib Dem opponents in a bid to win over swing voters.
After Cleggmania erupted, one candidate in a key marginal remarked: "Love-bombing's over, let the real bombing begin!"
Back at CCHQ, urgent digging into Clegg's policies began. During the second TV debate, Mr Cameron attacked his amnesty for immigrants and more attacks followed exposing Lib Dem policy. Clegg faltered and the Lib Dem bubble started to deflate.
But the polls continued to show that the public actively backed the idea of a coalition government.
The Tories hit back with a controversial broadcast warning of the dangers of a hung parliament and Mr Cameron's impressive performance in the third and final TV debate seemed to put him back on track.
With the polls steadily rising, Mr Cameron risked a Prime Minister-in-waiting style pitch to voters about what he would do in his first few weeks of government.
Pictures of him and Sam cuddling in the back of the election tourbus were deployed as the campaign entered its final days.
In the last 24 hours, Mr Cameron embarked on a frantic, last ditch tour of the country travelling all night on his bus in an attempt to win enough seats.
He spent polling day in his Oxfordshire garden chopping logs – his favourite de-stressing activity – and held talks at the nearby home of Hilton to finalise positions in his first cabinet.
The mood at Tory headquarters was confident as young staffers gathered to watch the results come in. They were expecting to win. But by the time their leader reached CCHQ at 4am it was clear he had fallen short.
Key candidates had not won seats, including many on Mr Cameron's beloved A list. All four glamorous Tories in an iconic photograph taken for Tatler magazine were rejected, including Ms Cash, for whom Mr Cameron had fought so hard after activists tried to deselect her.
There were some notable successes. A-lister Liz Truss was victorious in South West Norfolk, where she had to hold off the so-called Turnip Taleban in order to get selected, and Zac Goldsmith triumphed in Richmond Park.
Priti Patel and Louise Bagshawe made it, along with many other women, gay and ethnic minority candidates. In total, 33 more women were elected.
The party also won in places where it never dreamed it could, such as in Montgomeryshire, where they unseated the previously safe Lembit Öpik.
But in a night of weird swings, seats they had been hopeful of taking, such as Tooting, did not materialise. And the party lost 78 councillors in local government, while Labour made big gains.
Instead of moving into Downing Street, Mr Cameron was still nursing a bid for power that was far from home and dry this weekend.

Author Notes: Every year after Labor Day, it's as though a switch is flipped in my mind, making me think it's autumn. I immediately start craving cool, crisp air and lazy weekend afternoons in the kitchen braising short ribs and baking apple pie while my husband and son rake leaves outside or watch a football game. But then reality sets in and I realize it's still summer, and it's still hot and muggy in the DC area. Thoughts of slow-cooked meat quickly give way to dishes that don't require a hot oven or hours in the kitchen. That's how this salad came to be – I wanted something quintessentially autumn that could also bridge late summer to fall.
When creating this salad, I knew right off that I wanted to use a mix of radicchio and escarole. I love their pleasant bitterness and sturdy leaves that forgive you if you dress them too soon. With beautiful figs on my counter, I decided to dress the salad with a juicy fig vinaigrette (loosely adapted from a Suzanne Goin recipe) that you make by pounding fresh figs into a coarse puree in a mortar and pestle and combining with shallots, balsamic, a touch of honey, and extra virgin olive oil. I then tossed in my remaining figs and added thinly sliced apple and pear, slivers of prosciutto, and honeyed almonds. (Crumbled blue cheese is delicious in addition to or in place of the prosciutto.) The finished salad exceeded my expectations – it's definitely greater than the sum of its parts. The sweetness of the fig vinaigrette perfectly balances the bitterness of the lettuces, with the salty prosciutto, crunchy almonds, and juicy, crisp apple and pear keeping each bite interesting. It's a salad I'll anticipate making each September when the days are hot but fall food beckons -- it'll be my ode to autumn.
Food52 Review: EmilyC's Autumn salad reminds me of the Indian summer that we experience in California. Partnering fig with prosciutto and pear with blue cheese are classic combinations that make my mouth water, so needless to say I used both! The crunch of the pear and apple, along with the sweet honey almonds were wonderful in contrast with the figs, and the saltiness of the prosciutto paired with the fresh mint and tangy-sweet fig balsamic dressing made this a delicious salad. The only word of warning I have: keep a close eye while toasting the honey-almonds, I had to make them over! —aussiefoodie
Serves: 6 to 8
head radicchio, core removed and leaves washed and roughly torn
bunch escarole, leaves washed and roughly torn
tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon honey
cup almonds, coarsely chopped or sliced
sea salt, to taste
ripe figs, stems removed
tablespoons finely minced shallot
tablespoons balsamic vinegar
tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
apple, cored and cut into 1/8-inch thick slices
pear, cored and cut into 1/8-inch thick slices
ounces thinly sliced prosciutto, cut into small strips
ounces good-quality blue cheese, crumbled (optional)
tablespoons sliced mint
tablespoon chopped flat-leaf parsley
- To make honeyed almonds: In a small skillet, toast 1/2 cup coarsely chopped (or sliced) almonds until they just start to color -- then add 2 T honey and a pinch of sea salt. Stir frequently over moderate heat until almonds are golden and coated with honey, about 4 minutes. Take off the heat, and on a cookie sheet lined with parchment / sprayed with non-stick spray, spread the almonds in an even layer. When cool, break into small pieces.
- To make fig vinaigrette: cut 2 figs in half, then pound to a coarse puree using a mortar and pestle. You should have about 2 tablespoons of fig puree. Transfer the puree to a small bowl, then add the minced shallot, balsamic vinegar, 1 teaspoon of honey and a pinch of sea salt. Whisk in the olive oil. Taste for seasoning and balance.
- To assemble salad: In a large bowl, toss together radicchio, escarole, the remaining 8 figs (halved or quartered depending on size), apple, pear, and prosciutto.
- Drizzle in the vinaigrette a little at a time and gently toss. Sprinkle in some sea salt, then add more vinaigrette if needed. (You probably won't need the full amount – store any leftover vinaigrette in the fridge.)
- If using blue cheese, add it now and gently toss once more. Arrange the salad on a large platter, then scatter the honeyed almonds, mint and parsley over the top.

The people gathered around a fire as people always do on a still night between hot golden days in June. Wooded hills stretched over them, and beyond the fire a dazed stretch of sand wandered into a river: a great old snake in valleys. The peoples' bellies were full and they had run out of things to say, and so an easy silence fell over them. The storyteller knew this was the hour for magic, when all the doing of the day was done and the silence before the fire opened like water under a wide sky and the peoples' world became a reflection. As if to confirm this-a lonely star fell from heaven, drawing his eyes upward. He looked out at the stars hanging like scattered beads of water in the sky and thought of all he had seen in his life. Places, people and events rose and fell within him; each new part remembered pulling another part closer- like waves drawing up different parts of the ocean against the feet of a lonely out-looker…contemplating the horizon. This was the hour for magic and the hour for magic called for a story. The Storyteller cleared his throat and the last threads of tired conversation faded amidst the easy crackle of the fire and the melodic chirping of the crickets. The people looked up at the storyteller with the same wide eyes they had always looked up at him with.
"Would you like to hear a story?"
The people quietly nodded.
"You look like you want to hear a story…You look like you want to hear a good story" The story teller stood up and stretched his arms wide: projecting his voice out into to the amphitheatre of the sky. "here by the fire under the starry sky on this summer night."
"A story from the very beginning. So I'm going to tell you a story, the one about all the land coming up out of the waters… long ago. It's got whales in it-bad tempered cachalots is what I think they were…Sperm whales like old Moby Dick… The story goes like this: Once the world was all covered in water. In those days the waters were all fresh as the river, they were too young to be salty. And people in that time all lived in boats: they were born in boats, grew up in boats, ate, drank, fornicated and died in boats. Not really that comfortable as I'm sure you can imagine, if you've ever taken a long canoe trip anywhere-the boats were canoes, I didn't mention-Anyway…the people… they lived in big canoes and they hunted whales, and they depended on whales for pretty much everything. Hunting those whales was dangerous mind you, and many a good whaler got lost over-board and was sometimes even eaten by whales or dragged down tangled in harpoon chords or battered to death by their flukes- lost in the rolling waves, never to be seen again. Our story starts with one of these whale hunts. The people in their boats come across a really big whale, and they say to themselves: "let's get this big one, he's got all kinds of meat and oil and bone and sinew on him huh?" They can use it all. So they set out after this big whale, and they come up alongside him and the harpooner sticks him with his harpoon and that big whale he goes crazy with shock and pain and his tail comes up under the boat and the boat bucks upward and tosses that harpooner out and he lands in the water and that whale he turns on the man in the water with an angry eye choked with hot blood, and quick as you please he swallows the man whole. Now most people would feel pretty hopeless being swallowed whole by some big ugly whale -not this harpooner. He's got a knife stashed in his belt and when he finds himself in that whale's great, stinking stomach he doesn't pause a beat; he sticks his knife in the stomach lining and starts sawing away and he saws and he saws and he cuts his way out of the stomach, and of course the whale starts thrashing around madly and the people still in the canoes are afraid because they've never seen a whale with such bad indigestion before, but that harpooner inside the whale; he stays steady and he cuts his way to the lungs and he breathes a deep breath of the whale's air that keeps him breathing as he keeps cutting, cutting like mad with that little knife. He goes between the ribs, and the water starts shooting in and he's covered in stomach acid and ambergris and blood and now sea water, and he reaches through and he starts squeezing himself out and he's afraid the whales gonna bend double and crush him between its ribs, maybe nip him in two like a giant frog's mouth would…all squeezing… but that whale's in shock now: sinking and the harpooner's gotta get away, and up above him he sees the boats and he frees himself from the sinking whale and he shoots up to the surface and he pops out of the water with all the whale's blood and juices all over him and he's disgusted and exultant and he grabs the rim of his boat and the people are amazed and he screams, screams a long terrifying angry scream, if I were to repeat it here, everyone's hair in a five kilometre radius would go white, he's saying: "I'm here! We're here! I'm sick of living out of a boat!!" and from far away the land hears him and gets out of its stupor. The land's kinda sheepish at not being there for the people all along so the land hurries to them and the people they finally get out of their canoes. And here we are. You wanna know how I know? It's 'cause I was the man steering that canoe. -How's that for a story?"
Wide eyed, the people contemplated this re-telling. Some of the children had drifted off to sleep. Quietly now they all started the last small procedures of retirement. The Storyteller, an insomniac, padded out to the lake shore to be alone. Later, when all had gone to bed and were sleeping or pretending to sleep, he returned. Awkward and tender he made every attempt at silence in the late moonlight as he threw more sticks on the fire, and fell asleep lying on his side-looking into the embers.
How's that for a story?

Racist rioters escape jail
Published time: 2 Nov, 2007 08:28 Edited time: 2 Nov, 2007 11:28
Twelve people involved in riots in the northern Russian city of Kondopoga in September 2006 have been given three-year suspended sentences.
The violence was sparked by a restaurant brawl in September 2006 between locals and people from the North Caucasus, which left two people dead and nine injured.
The restaurant, a street market and several shops owned by people of Chechen and Azerbaijani origin were destroyed.
After the riots, there were street rallies demanding the expulsion of immigrants.
The court found the twelve Russians guilty of damaging private and municipal property.
The investigation into the two killings during the riots is still not over.

Well, I know you're probably referring to the production blog, but since you're in-between seasons, any chance of another concert?
But as far as the production blog goes, I noticed some of the old pics are missing in the archives (like images of Foofa's evolution, and pictures of the old office). I'd love to see those!

And...If there's another show...would there be a possiblity of having ALL YGG characters show up? so that it can be an EPIC show. All shows are rad, but if all characters were to show...then that would just be mind blowing!

Hey Parker!
you got a few comments here, but is that what you were asking? Or did you want feedback on something more specific?

I would like to see Yo Gabba on TV more - :( What happened? It's only on 2x per week now on our Nick Jr. My daughter is devastated. (And, so am I to be honest, we LOVE Yo Gabba Gabba)
As far as your blog: How about little inside secrets, or inside scoops on things. Like how the costumes are made, or who the characters are, or favorite scenes, or comments from 'star' appearances. ?

First, it would be nice if the "Head, Arms, Legs, Feet- Beat a beat beat, clap clap" video was up at the yogabbagabba website. It is my 21mth old sons favorite. We also need more episodes here.. they don't air as much :(
A small gadget that plays short video clips that looks like the tv when guests come would be kind of neat for kids

Blue blanket, ceramic poppies
16 comments:
What an incredible sight, and so moving. I have seen the odd photo on blogland but nothing to compare with what you have captured here Jane. It is an amazing project.ReplyDelete
Alice's blanket has turned out beautifully! I love the little white centres on the crochet squares, like little twinkling stars in a night sky. How lovely for Alice too, to have that to snuggle up in and remind her of you and home - and, if I remember rightly, it'll match the blue with white stars jimmies that you all made together?
Take care and see you soon
Gill xxReplies
Yes, it's an amazing sight and knowing that each poppy represents a life lost makes you appreciate the enormity and impact of the First World War - I felt really tearful. It's well worth the trip, I think I may go back nearer to Remembrance Day when all the poppies will have been installed. JxxDelete
Your blanket is lovely! I really like the combination of the crochet and knitting, very unusual. I haven't seen the poppies in person, but every time I see them on a blog it is noticeable how many more there are. xxReplyDelete
What a gorgeous blanket - Alice must be thrilled. I made one for Charlotte when she left for university and it was so reassuring to think that if ever she needed a cuddle she could snuggle up in it! She's been working at the Tower over the Summer and telling us just how incredible those poppies look. Have a lovely weekend x JaneReplyDelete
Oh Jane - Alice's blanket is absolutely perfect, I love it ! The colours are beautiful and don't all the different textures work so well together - so worth all the hard work. Alice has a ready made 'home hug' to take with her.ReplyDelete
And your photo's of the Tower of London are just stunning, completely breathtaking, Gill is right, you have captured them beautifully.
Have a great weekend,
Kate x

Your blanket has turned out lovely and I hope your daughter will enjoy using it. The Poppies are great aren't they I'm hoping we will be able to make a trip to see them before November.
The poppies are quite a sight, and very moving. It's hard to comprehend the scale of the loss. I love your blanket, it's wonderful. The combination of knitting and crochet is great, it's not something I've seen before and I really like it. No doubt Alice loves it.ReplyDelete
Hello, your blanket is beautiful the colours the pattern but the best bit it is filled with love, so if Alice ever gets homesick she has the blanket to hug....I love it!ReplyDelete

Free shipping -- no shipping, handling, or packaging fees will be charged on shipments consisting of at least $99 in new radio gear that are shipping to physical addresses located in any of the contiguous 48 states and can be automatically verified with your bank through the AVS (Address Verification System) Program. Orders containing both in-stock and out of stock items will not ship until all items are in-stock, unless you specifically request shipping the in-stock items separately, which incur additional shipping charges. Free shipping is only available on shipments of $99 or more. Upgraded freight charges do not qualify for free freight credit. All orders are shipped FOB our dock and all claims for damaged shipments are subject to the carrier's rules for claim processing. Claims for "Package did not arrive" or similar must be made within 14 days of the date that tracking shows the item delivered. The claims process can take 1 - 6 months depending on the carrier. Free freight includes freight and insurance, but does not include dimensional weight charges or optional services such as Adult Signature Required ($4.75). On high value packages, we suggest Adult Signature Required. Some large packages and discounted items are excluded from free shipping, as noted in their description.

Area Commanders
Majors Roger and DeeAnn Glick currently serve as the Area Commanders for Greater Birmingham. Prior to moving to Birmingham, they served as Area Commanders in Little Rock, Arkansas. They have over 14 years of experience as Corps Officers in three appointments: Atchison, Kansas, Olathe, Kansas and Oak Creek, Wisconsin.
During a nine-year leave of service as Salvation Army Officers, Roger received his Ordination from the Church of the Nazarene on the Kansas City District. For 3 years, they served together as Senior Pastors at the Weston Church of the Nazarene before DeeAnn accepted an assignment as a Salvation Army Corps Administrator in Kansas City, Kansas. While pastoring in Weston, Roger remained bi-vocational and worked for Glimcher Realty Trust Company as the Operations Director. Soon, The Salvation Army came calling and Roger would accept a position as the Assistant Director of Development for the Kansas and Western Missouri Division of The Salvation Army.
Both Roger and DeeAnn were commissioned in the Witnesses For Jesus Session from the College for Officer Training in Chicago in 1990, and also earned their Associate Degrees from Olivet Nazarene University the same year. Roger received his Bachelor's Degree in Religion, graduating Cum Laude from MidAmerica Nazarene University in Olathe, Kansas in 1999.
They each have a desire for helping others learn to balance pastoral ministry while enjoying healthy family relationships and a maturing walk with Christ Jesus and share a concern that congregations learn to live together under the Lordship of Jesus in such a way that we truly become a living sign of the kingdom of God. Our Corps should be models of love, forgiveness, reconciliation, and peace. Jesus prayed, "May they be brought to complete unity to let the world know that you sent me" (John 17:23). The Glicks also believe deeply in our holiness message and preach that holiness is more than "one part" of our identity; holiness is a way of being in the world — a world hungry to know that life transformation really is possible.
The Glicks have five children; Emma Louise Muriel Glick is 26, Sadie Grace Marie Glick is 25, Elijah James Frederick Glick is 21, Tressa Rose Francis Glick is 18, Jacob Allen Patrick Glick is 15.

Fidayeen attack on CRPF Camp in Lethpora in J & K
Braving the midnight 'fidayeen' attack, CRPF troops have neutralized two terrorists in the Lethpora area of Jammu and Kashmir. In the resultant gun battle, CRPF lost four of its brave soldiers
while three others are undergoing treatment. Their condition is stated to be stable. One terrorist is still holed up in one of the building in the campus. Efforts are being made to get at the terrorist at the earliest under the supervision of senior officers
of CRPF.
This time the terrorists targeted the CRPF camp at Lethpora under the Pulwama district of South Kashmir, which houses the Pre-Induction Training Centre and the 185 battalion headquarters. Their
intention was to inflict heavy casualty on the resting soldiers in the dead of the night. But the alert CRPF troops reacted quickly and cornered the terrorists to a small area where they had to take refuge in a nearby building. In the firing that ensued in
the darkness of the night , the vigilant troops of CRPF could neutralize two of them while the remaining one was hiding himself in the building till reports last came in. In the indiscriminate firing resorted to by the terrorists, four CRPF jawans laid down
their lives preventing the terrorists from materializing their nefarious design. During the day long operation, troops not only could neutralize two of the fidayeen but also succeeded in evacuating the captive residents of the nearby buildings to safety.
The brave hearts who attained martyrdom are Ct/GD Sharief-Uddin Ganaie of 185 btn, R/O- Chandoora, Budgam; J & K, HC/GD Taufail Ahmed of 185 btn, R/O- Rajouri, J & K; CT/GD Rajendra Nain of
QAT, R/O- Churi, Rajasthan and CT/GD P K Panda of QAT, R/O- Sundergarh, Odisha.

Skillsoft customer the Odawa Casino Resort needed to ensure that learning opportunities were available to all employees, not simply those who worked first shift. Odawa also wanted to support performance management through relevant learning options. To fulfill that need, Odawa Casino chose a Skillsoft Select package containing a blend of courses on leadership development, performance management, communication skills, customer service and more. By utilizing the Skillport® LMS, Odawa employees could access learning regardless whether it was day or night.
In the program's first year, Odawa was able to develop consistency in leadership and improve performance across all areas of the organization.
Owned and operated by the Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians, Odawa Casino markets itself as Simply the BEST place to visit in northern Michigan, with an exhilarating combination of nearly 1,300 slot machines, a diversified mix of table games and a poker room. Other amenities include multiple dining venues, retail shops, a nightclub and lounge, plus an events center and a 137 room hotel.
"We've seen a leveling of skills in our managers," says Katie Bauer, Odawa's Development and Recruiting Manager. "Managers understand what's expected of them now and all have the same training." Casino employees have noticed the difference, especially in leaders who have completed the career enrichment program. Bauer says team members have come to HR and made comments like, "My manager is so much more open to team members—his management style has really improved."

In my past posts, I've encouraged folks with great ideas to take fate into their own hands and not count on others to move the ideas forward. I've also given you some tips on how to find the time to spend on those ideas. If the plan is working, you now have the resolve to take action and the time - but now what?
I have a great deal of experience in developing an eclectic mix of products and services. I've worked on the Emmy and Academy Award winning Skycam, smoke detectors, video games, bomb inspection robots, air hockey tables, whale tracking sensors, instrumented boxing gloves, flight simulators, cardiac monitors and many more hardware and software systems for a number of industries. Based on those experiences, I've concluded that the key elements needed to successfully move past the "I have a great idea" stage are prototypes and funding.
Prototypes instantly increase the value of your idea
I'm sure the need for funding is pretty obvious, but the need to develop a prototype may raise some eyebrows. But think about it - if you were an investor what would interest you more, an idea scribbled on the back of an envelope or a prototype demonstrating the idea? If you have a prototype, you've made your idea much easier to understand; reduced the risk an investor perceives, and you've also made your idea much more valuable because now everyone can see how it will work.
You may argue that prototypes cost quite a bit of money to develop, and you may not have the technical skills needed. Well, you're wrong. If you really understand your idea, it is possible for anyone to build a demonstration prototype at almost no cost. Following are three examples.
A prototype in 30 minutes, from idea to customer acceptance
The first example is right out of the classroom of the Engineering Entrepreneurship program at Villanova University. The exercise may seem simple, and that is exactly the point. We pair up the students - one student is "the customer," the other is the "designer." The designer interviews the customer to determine the physical characteristics of the customer's current wallet; how the wallets are used now; what they love/hate about their wallet; and what additional features or uses they'd like for a new wallet.
Each designer is then given a variety of simple materials: tape, scissors, construction paper, glue and 30 minutes to create their customer's dream wallet. Once the prototype wallet is constructed, the designer presents it to the customer. You would be amazed how well the paper wallets please the customers. Sometimes the customer requests a few modifications, but after a few more snips of the scissors and a couple inches of tape, the customer is almost always delighted - to the point that they don't want to give up their personalized prototype wallet.
Within 30 minutes, with nothing but a few office supplies, the students are able to create a prototype that can be demonstrated, clearly showing how the wallet will look and all of the features. Keep in mind, these students have enormous technical skills, they design and build systems such as stabilized quadcopters and competitive race cars; but they understand and appreciate the importance of the low cost demonstration prototype.
Proof-of-principle prototypes for less than $5
Simple prototype development is not just an academic exercise.The next example is from a real life product development effort far more complex than a wallet: a sophisticated robotic aerial moving camera system called the Wavecam. The Wavecam began as an idea for a relatively low cost moving camera for university sports and entertainment. Today Wavecam is used at Villanova for televised basketball games and is installed at other universities such as Penn State and Alabama for football practices. But how did it move from an idea to a system used on national TV?
Before we could do anything with Wavecam, we needed to gain approval of universities, and broadcasters, and to gain the initial interest of investors. We did all of that by building a very simple prototype for less than $5.
Although the Wavecam is orders of magnitude more complex than a wallet, the initial prototype was made out of soda straws, popsicle sticks, paper clips, dental floss, and tape. Did it impress people because it looked great, had a gyro stabilized camera with fiber optic feeds and a remote operator's panel? Of course not. But the mocked up camera mechanism was able to slide on the dental floss, move back and forth, and up and down.
Our simple prototype was enough to show the promise of a high definition camera that now gracefully flies along the Villanova basketball court. The dental floss and popsicle stick prototype allowed us to produce a convincing demonstration of general operation, size, speed, court coverage, safety, and ease of installation. We received the acceptance we were seeking and the funding we needed. Sure, we eventually needed to pull in top technical talent from all over the country to build the full scale system, but by then we had the resources and approvals we needed.
Software prototypes, no programming needed
The wallet and Wavecam are both physical systems, but maybe your idea is software based, and yet you have no clue how to write even the traditional "Hello World" program. Don't worry! If you've ever used a computer, tablet, or smart phone in the past two years, you are more than qualified. As it turns out, effective software prototypes are even easier to develop than hardware prototypes. Our third example then, is the prototype of a sophisticated software system that employs nothing but black marker pen, tape, scissors and a few pieces of paper. No programming experience needed.
If you search the internet for 'paper prototypes' you will find several interesting techniques, but my favorite example is a video that shows the prototype for a Korean web mail service called Hanmail. Not a word is spoken in the video, but the idea is communicated in seconds. If you watch the video you will see how every screen, every menu, every function is demonstrated using only the paper prototype. "Click" a menu name and a handwritten list of the menu items is manually placed by the designer on the area below the menu name, simulating how the computer would react to a user's command. Touch a menu item on the simulated drop down list, and a new hand written screen replaces the old one. As crude as the prototype may look, every single feature of the program is accessible to the user and it can be demonstrated to a stakeholder, yet not a single line of code was written.
The creation of a paper prototype of a software system may take quite a bit of thought and time, but it does not require any programming skills. The paper prototype can show your software vision to folks who have the funding and the technical skills to make it a reality. If you have an idea for a sophisticated business program or the next great smart phone app, there is no reason you can't create a killer demo to blow everyone away. All you need is the idea, the vision and the discipline to step through and sketch every function on every screen.
Regardless of your technical skill level, with a little imagination and some office supplies, you can take the next step in making your idea a reality by producing a demonstratable prototype. So what are you waiting for?

I remember hearing this song on pop radio back in the day, regularly. it must have has strong crossover type appeal.
most exotica groups play this song, but martin denny made it famous in the late 50's. it was originally written by les baxter on his 'ritual of the savage' album from 1951 - strangely this group ixtahuele from sweden is now carrying the (tiki) torch for this weird polynesian/american (50's america) hybrid sound.

Since clock-watching is among our least favourite yet most practiced activities, we're pretty sure this particular model would have us staring at our wrist for a worryingly long time.
But, c'mon, it would be worth it. The 'Son Of A Gun' watch uses real bullets to make the dial seem like the barrel of a revolver.
The jaw-dropping piece was created by luxury watchmaker Yvan Arpa for his brand ArtyA. The watch suspends six 6mm Flobert bullets and uses dynamite wire.
Sadly, it's not available for us normals just yet. The timepiece has been created for one lucky collector with the promise of more to come. In case you're interested, it sold for £9,380 so no, you can't afford it either.
You can see more of Yvan's watches at www.artya.com.

This spring, New York City sees its first Scandinavian American theater company - SATC. The other night they had their first in a series of staged readings, a reading of Swedish playwright Sofia Fredéns comedy Hand in Hand. Fredéns plays have been produced in many of Swedens city and regional theaters, at the Royal Dramatic Theater and also outside of Sweden in Germany and France. Under Swedish director Anders Catos baton this rollercoaster of a play, took shape. To help the company, there were some guest actors, most notably Charlotte Munch, a famous Danish actress. If this is what SATC has in the pipeline, then were all in for a good ride - the reading was speedy, fun and charming. "Hand in Hand' was the first in what's going to be 5 staged readings a year, all to be presented at Scandinavia House. All showcasing contemporaru Scandinavian playwrights. Dont miss SATCs first production, August Strindbergs Miss Julie, which will be performed at Scandinavia House on June 10, 11, 12, 17, 18 and 19 at 7:30 pm.

I had officially finished SPM and I am super excited to start a whole new life without the blue uniforms and pony tails~
Daddy had got me my birthday present ! But he said it wouldn't arrive until next year, after my birthday and after my beijing trip because its something BIG :D hyped ! omg I LOVE YOU DAD ❤❤❤
Its pretty predictable that everybody would dye their hair or style it right after they finish senior high,
and come on, I'm a typical girl who lovesss dolling up,
how can I not change my hair colour right? HAHA
so this is gonna be a short post about my new hair colour !
I actually requested ash brown with lilac highlights,
but it involves bleaching, and bleaching would take away all my hair's nutrients,
causing it to break off easily & have many many split ends, hence, unless you're sponsored, or very super rich, like blogger Xiaxue, Cheesie, Qiuqiu, or Chuckei, you're hair will look like hay.
Plus, bleached hair colours fades super easily,
So my hairstylist suggested to help me choose a sweet colour that I'll love, WITHOUT bleaching ;)
he chose a sweet pink brown, with red-pink highlights !
the outcome was superrrr unexpected !!!
the verdict is, I LOVE IT !!!
they even temporary curl my hair, but it was gone at night haha ;D
They even did treatment for me that made my hair looks superrrrrr healthy & smooth !!
here's a really blur picture of my curly hair~ haha
i phone front camera sucks !!!
the colour doesn't show much in this room, coz its kinda dark.
He says I'm prettyyyy ❤.❤
tadaaa pictures below are taken in my room~
and this is how I usually take pictures :D
tripod stand !
Close up!
Smile to Strawberry sweet cake hair !!!
see how smooth it is !
see how smooth it is !
Pattern *peace*
Look at the pink highlights !!!!!!
Special thanks to ~
so what do you think of my new hair? :D
you can leave me a comment down below,
or tweet me @jxhia
also don't forget to follow my instagram also @jxhia
have a nice day everyone !
Bye ❤

ODesk links employers with freelancers online
Odysseas Tsatalos and Stratis Karamanlakis went to school together in Greece and dreamed of one day working for the same company. But when Tsatalos relocated to the Bay Area and his friend remained in Athens, it no longer seemed possible.
Tsatalos' CEO didn't want to hire an employee living so far away. He thought it'd be impossible to communicate, collaborate and monitor the work Karamanlakis would do as effectively as if he were in the office. But the two friends wouldn't take no for an answer.
"Odysseas kept peeling back the onion and created a platform for managing and working remotely," recalled Gary Swart, a colleague. "The more he built, the more the CEO would come up with objections until he had all of the objections answered. It was at that point that Odysseas and Stratis said, 'Hey, I think we have a company here.' "
Thousands of miles apart, Karamanlakis, 48, and Tsatalos, 48, founded oDesk, an online platform in Redwood City that enables businesses to find, hire, manage and pay remote employees online. Swart serves as CEO.
Today, oDesk connects more than 900,000 businesses globally - including Dropbox, Groupon, AOL, Oracle and Pinterest - with approximately 3 million freelancers offering skills ranging from Web development to writing and translation. The company announced Aug. 1 that clients have spent more than $1 billion on hiring through oDesk since its founding in 2005.
"While it's a small piece of the overall work market, it really is evidence that this is a real shift of where the world is working," Swart said. "Today work is no longer a place."
Through oDesk, people with specialized skills in such things as social media, video editing or coding can create a freelancer profile that describes their work experience and suggests an hourly price for hire. ODesk adds a 10 percent fee to that hourly rate before listing the profiles for prospective employers.
Work monitored
Companies can then hire freelancers either as contract workers or employees, and oDesk takes care of contracts and taxes, plus unemployment, international compliance and other statutory concerns.
The platform enables companies to monitor performance by taking six screenshots of the worker's computer desktop randomly during each hour worked. This ensures that employees get paid for the time they put in and that clients don't pay for unproductive hours, Swart said.
"You have to make sure that good work happens," Swart said. "We also have to make sure that you both are protected."
ODesk also offers online tests to prove listers' skills and suggests matches between companies and workers based on what the firm is looking for, what skills the freelancer has and written reviews from previous clients.
"The vision from the beginning was to enable freedom and boundless opportunity," Swart said. "To get the world's best companies to get access to the world's best talent regardless of geography."
Owen Morris, 29, discovered oDesk at a startup event in San Francisco. He had just returned from a tour in Afghanistan and was looking for software engineers to help develop an interactive multiplayer game he had thought up while in the military.
Quick test shot
"The big appeal for me was I could hire someone really, really quickly and give them a test shot," Morris said. "I could say go work for three hours for $12 an hour and if I liked what they were doing, then I'd say come work for me."
Morris now has freelancers all over the world, including programmers in Romania. "The people I hired varied greatly," Morris said.
While Morris hires others to help him create his passion project, he makes a living for himself by doing freelance video editing through the site. "If you have these creative skills that you can get paid to do from home, why not?" Morris said.

The Imagination Lab will be made up of bold colors, high ceilings and natural light. The space will be divided into three main areas: classrooms, collaboration space, and the studio.
There will be four classrooms that can be opened into two large rooms. The rooms will have flexible workstations, but a traditional class will be able to work effectively in this space.
The collaboration space will be filled with open space and modular tables, where students go work in small groups or independently, on the floor or at tables.
The studio will be the largest of the three areas, and will be made up of a messy space, a technology space, a maker space, a fabrication lab, two green rooms and two sound booths, and an amphitheater.
The messy space will have easy access to water and deep sinks, ideal for science experiments and art projects.
The technology space will have everything students need to learn coding, to create their own programs and even games, and to learn to navigate software that will allow them to marry presentations, music, news reports and then share them with their classmates, or the world around them.

I have a new passion.
I've put all other projects aside for spinning the hand-dyed silk & wool rovings from Dornröschen.
I found the link to Christine/Dornröschen and her hand-dyed rovings and yarns on Jana's wonderful blog - 'Anaj's kreatives Tagebuch'. Jana is a most talented master spinner, dyer and felter, and her beautiful artyarns seduced me to trying out this hand-dyed silk wool as well.
Feeling the soft silk running through my fingers while spinning, plying and knitting makes me happy. The colours come out so rich in the spun yarn, shining warm and precious when hit by the light.
I've started knitting two shoulder shawls, one in green and purple, which remind me of crocus, lilacs, hyacinths, asparagus, bulbs and sprouts ...
... the other one in oriental reds, resembling herbs and spices in an exotic bazaar - or maybe the red, ripe fruits and berries in the midst of the summer heat:
The classic feather & fan pattern which I've used looks intricate but is yet quite simple, one row changing between 6 times k2tog and 6 yok1, one row knitted, one row purled inbetween. You can find the complete pattern in "Beautiful Knits" by Alison Dupernex, which holds several easy patterns.
Though this yarn was a new purchase - which I just couldn't resist - I've promised myself not to start another project without incorporating recycling or stash material. Even for this 'precious' silk I was glad to use the - almost antique! - rayon silk thread bobbins for plying, which I found in my mother's cellar about a year ago.
And I'm sure my stash will provide some beads and maybe some of that Indian recycled Sari silk for the finishing as well ...
Speaking about other projects - look what I received from Elizabeth at Landanna last week: driftwood!
This lucky girl lives on an island in Denmark with the beach nearby, thus being able to collect wonderful driftwood on her daily walk ... At the moment, she is taking us on a virtual walk with her in her blog.
And this is what Carolyn is doing with her beach finds - so beautiful! - another lucky girl, living close to the sea ...

all very beautiful - I feel your excitement!

Glad I could do you this favour.
Have a wonderful weekend, hopefully with some sunshine.
- Ro Bruhn said...
These look so beautiful, makes me want to get my spinning wheel back into action again. It's so much more interesting than spinning the natural fleece.
- Anneli/Bockfilz said...
Thank you for commenting, girls!
Welcome Ro - what wonderful things you show in your blog!
But for me, spinning the natural fleece will always remain thrilling as well, in another way - I think it's the alternation between different materials that keeps my (spin) fire burning ...!
