text: A chemical maker uses advanced analytical techniques to identify—and seize—opportunities across its value chain. Better collaboration is a side benefit. Manufacturers with complex operations often struggle to optimize production. Large chemical makers are a prime example. They face complexity in spades—such as volatile costs and prices, the need to manage multiple plants, and the reality that many products can be made from diverse (and often nonlinear) combinations of inputs. Advanced data modeling recently helped one global chemical maker to cut through all these problems in its flagship plant. Company experts in sales, production, and optimization assembled raw-material and product price curves, market-size forecasts, historical equipment-performance data, and more than 600 decision variables into a mathematical model describing the plant's production yields under various operating conditions. The resulting model offers managers a precise understanding of the effects that variations anywhere along the value chain can have on the production network as a whole. The company can now, for example, easily fine-tune the mix of raw materials and finished products, as well as the routing of manufacturing flows, in real time—while constantly identifying opportunities for improvement (exhibit). All told, these changes increased the plant's EBIT1 1.Earnings before interest and taxes. returns by more than 50 percent, and the company is now applying this model across its full factory network so that production capacity can shift in modular fashion. A major side benefit: better cross-unit collaboration, since business decisions that were formerly siloed and subjective are now made with a clearer sense of the constraints and trade-offs involved. Exhibit In one case, data modeling identified opportunities to increase earnings by 55 percent.

Napoleon in York
3 comments:
- Hels said...
The wooden statue of Napoleon that is now in York was brought from France in 1822, only one year after the ex-Emperor died in Saint Helena.
Now my question is: how quickly did Britain get over the terror of an imminent Napoleonic invasion? If the British relaxed and felt safe, bringing the statue might have been a salute to democracy and British independence. If the British were still not quite sure about future French plans, the statues would have reminded people of their lucky escape a decade earlier.
And I do love the gold snuffbox with Napoleon's portrait on the lid.

I think at this point, people were pretty relaxed (although that would soon change again). In fact, Napoleon himself was pretty popular with some ordinary Britons, and was a major figure in British popular culture who, after his death, seems to have been viewed with a surprising amount of sympathy or admiration.

It is interesting that Napoleon commanded respect if not admiration for his achievements. It would be fair to say that many of the absolutist monarchies that Napoleon defeated or overthrew were not widely popular in Britain. At the Sir John Soane Museum is a collection of plaster casts of medals issued by Napoleon to celebrate his victories and achievements which reflects the interest that there was in Napoleon as the dominant figure of his age.

Amrita Rao Biography
Amrita Rao (born June 17, 1981) is an Indian model and Bollywood actress.
Beginning her career as a model, Rao made her acting debut with Ab Ke Baras (2002), which went unnoticed at the box office. However, she grew into prominence when she starred in Ken Ghosh's love-story, Ishq Vishk (2003) and earned her first Filmfare nomination in the Best Female Debut category. Going on to deliver acclaimed performances and commercial success with films like Main Hoon Na (2004) and Vivah, her biggest commercial success so far, she has established herself as one of the most promising actresses of Bollywood.
Amrita Rao was born on June 7, 1981 to a Chitrapur Saraswat Brahmin family in Mumbai,. She speaks English, Hindi, Marathi, and Konkani.
Amrita Rao attended Convent Girls High School in Mumbai,and later enrolled in Sophia College to pursue a degree in psychology. While studying there, she auditioned for an advertisement for Fairever Face Cream. To her surprise she was selected amongst 60 other contestants. After that, she got many offers and became one of the most sought-after models in India within a year.
Her appearance in Cadbury's Perk Karwa Chaut ad and the Bru Coffee advertisement helped her receive offers from film directors in Bollywood. Wanting to complete her education, she refused them. After earning a degree in psychology, she began her profession as an actress, working in films.
She made her acting debut with Ab Ke Baras (2002), but gained recognition only after the success of her 2003 film, Ishq Vishk, in which her portrayal as Payal earned her the girl-next door image. Success followed for her in 2004 with films like Masti and Main Hoon Na.
Her career took a setback when her following releases, Deewaar (2004), Vaah! Life Ho To Aisi (2005), Shikhar (2005), and Pyare Mohan (2006) did poorly at the box office. Things turned around when she starred in Sooraj R. Barjatya's blockbuster Vivah (2006) opposite Shahid Kapoor. The film was a universal success and her performance was well appreciated by critics, earning her a Dadasaheb Phalke Academy Award.
Rao recently made her debut in Tollywood, with the Telugu hit Athidhi opposite Mahesh Babu.

Degenerative spine — types of conditions
Degenerative spine is a collective term for a range of age-related effects that can happen to the spinal anatomy with time. Common degenerative spine conditions include degenerative disc disease, disc herniation, osteoarthritis, bone spurs and spinal stenosis. These disorders can also manifest at one or more levels of the spine, such as the cervical region, thoracic region and/or lumbar region.
Learning about these different types of degenerative spine conditions can give you a great overview of the spine and make you better equipped to get the help you deserve if any of these conditions are affecting your life.
Degenerative spine types by condition
Here are three of the main types of degenerative spine conditions that can occur:
- Degenerative disc disease. A spinal disc is composed of a gel-like inner core contained by a thick outer wall. Degenerative disc disease can develop as these strong, shock-absorbing cushions gradually lose flexibility over time. As the discs become drier and more brittle with age, they can be more likely to experience thinning, bulging, tearing or herniation.
- Osteoarthritis. Spinal arthritis is a breakdown of the articular cartilage that lines and cushions the spinal facet joints that link the vertebrae. As this cartilage wears away, the bones within the facet joints can begin to grind together. To stabilize the affected area, the body often produces bone spurs, which can cause symptoms by putting pressure on the spinal nerves.
- Spinal stenosis. Stenosis is narrowing of the nerve pathways of the spine which house the spinal cord and the exiting nerve roots. The narrowing can be caused by displaced disc material, bone spurs and swollen joints and can lead to pain and mobility problems if they compress any spinal nerves.
Degenerative spine types by location
The different types of degenerative spine conditions can also be classified by the level of the spine where they develop. These regions include:
Cervical level — symptoms in the neck might radiate through the shoulders, arms, hands and fingers
Thoracic level — symptoms in the middle back and around the rib cage, kidneys and chest
Lumbar level. — symptoms that travel from the lower back through the hips, buttocks, legs and feet
Multilevel — degeneration in two or more areas of the spine
Minimally invasive treatment options
If you've been diagnosed with any of the various types of degenerative spine conditions and have not found relief after weeks and months of conservative treatment, contact Laser Spine Institute.
We perform minimally invasive spine surgery that is a safer and effective alternative to traditional open neck or back procedures.^
Contact one of our Patient Empowerment Consultants today for a no-cost MRI review* to help you determine if you are a candidate for one of our outpatient procedures.

Dear Blogger,
It has been ??? weeks since my last blog - how many weeks??? Oh, my word. Well, okay Happy Christmas, hope you all had a good one, and Happy New Year all rolled into one. Right, that's that over and done with.
We had a wonderful Christmas, lots of nice food and people - great fun. It all seems a long time ago now, especially after all that snow and things. I am hoping that my children will all manage a full week of school this week - if they don't I might just swing for someone. It was lovely having them home due to the snow - but it all came a little too soon after Christmas for my liking! So bored with snow now!
Two quilts completed for Christmas presents. Both made with charm packs - love those pesky little charm packs!! The pink was one was completed in record time, nothing like putting yourself under pressure is there to get things completed. It was pieced, quilted and bound with a week - unheard of for me!

Newmarket Gold - Decent 1Q 2016 Results And One Problem
As usually, the Fosterville mine was a leader with gold production of 33,138 ounces (57.1% of total production). The excellency of Fosterville is demonstrated by the chart below:
source: Simple Digressions
Note that direct costs have been generally stable since 2013 (between $90 - $100 per ton of ore processed) but the value of gold, contained in one ton of ore (gold content), has been in a steady increase. As a result, Fosterville delivered gross margin of $135.7 per ton of ore in 1Q 2016, 93.6% up, compared to 2013.
It means that this much higher 1Q 2016 gross margin was generated despite the fact that in the last quarter the company was selling its gold at much lower prices ($1,139 per ounce) than in 2013 ($1,407 per ounce).
Simply put, apart from lower costs of production, the Fosterville mineral deposit is currently of much better quality (for example - higher grade) than in 2013.
As I was writing in my previous articles on Newmarket, the Stawell mine is a laggard. The chart showing its economics looks totally different from Fosterville's one:
source: Simple Digressions
Here the trend is unfavorable: costs are rising and gold content (value of gold contained in one ton of ore) is going down. As a result, in 1Q 2016 Stawell delivered negative gross margin (direct costs higher than metal value).
What is more, this mine has been delivering lower and lower amounts of gold since 2013 (for presentation reasons I have plotted the average gold production per quarter):
source: Simple Digressions
Well, despite the fact that Stawell holds 166 thousand ounces of gold, classified as mineral reserves, it looks like this mine is a closed chapter. The last two quarters support this thesis - Stawell reported losses from mining operations: $146 thousand in 1Q 2016 and $400 thousand in 4Q 2015 so mining operations at this site were unprofitable.
However, the company is confident that things at Stawell should improve in the coming future. This assumptions is based on the last discovery of the Aurora B deposit:
source: the company's presentation (slide 19)
Let me cite the company (slide 29):
The Aurora targets are located on the East Flank of the Magdala Basalt, with the shallower Aurora B approximately 400-500 m below surface. The Magdala Basalt has approximate dimensions of 3km x 1km in plan view and previous mining at Stawell has almost exclusively been from mineralization on the West Basalt Flank. The West Flank at Stawell has produced over 2.3 million ounces of gold whereas the East Flank, where the Aurora B discovery is located, has no recorded production. Aurora A could extend north to sit immediately below Aurora B (~1,200mRL), representing a potentially continuous mineralised surface for potential mining activities.
Well, I would like to know the costs of production at the Aurora B deposit. As I noted above, the Stawell's problem lies rather in its production costs than in the size of a mineral deposit. Fortunately, ore grades reported at Aurora B, are much higher than those reported in the West Flank so who knows...maybe the company's management is right.
Financial and operating results
The table below summarizes the 1Q 2016 results:
Final note
In 1Q 2016 Newmarket redeemed all of its convertible debentures. As a result, now the company holds practically no debt. Additionally, at the end of 1Q 2016 it was holding $52.1 million in cash. What does it mean? Well, let me remind one of the four pillars of Newmarket strategy (slide 4):
With quite a large amount of cash, high creditworthiness and deep capital markets relationships Newmarket Gold is, in my opinion, ideally positioned to diversify into other mining activities, for example through an acquisition of another miner / junior company.
3 comments:
Given these results, would you be a buyer at today's price. Thanks for all you work on this blog.ReplyDeleteReplies
I wouldn't be a buyer because I had bought these shares last year (however if I were to increase my stake I would wait for some correction). As for the other investors (those who did not buy these shares before) - I would definitely buy at lower prices than Mr. Sprott was buying (C$2.25 - C$2.80) because it is quite a safe strategy to follow a notable investor but at lower prices than his entry points. The problem is that Newmarket is currently trading at much higher prices...
However, these shares are still cheap (I agree with Roger) so it definitely makes sense to initiate an initial buy at today's prices. What to do later? Well, it is another issue, worth a separate article...
NMI evaluations are still not rich compared to peers and Eric Sprott had cast 2x votes of confidence with 2 separate acquisitions of shared making him one of the largest shareholdersReplyDelete

BISE introduces FSc in Medical Tech
Lahore, Sep 09: Board of Intermediate & Secondary Education Lahore has decided to grant affiliation to different institutions for introduction of two-year FSc in Medical Technology bringing the medical technology courses in the main stream of education.
The six technologies to be taught in FSc in Medical Technology will be physiotherapy, medical lab technology, dental hygiene, medical imaging technology, laser, radiography and ophthalmology. These courses were hitherto conducted by Pharmacy Council of Pakistan, Punjab Medical Faculty and University of Health Sciences. And now the paramedical diploma courses including medical lab technicians, dispenser (category C), dental hygienist, radiographic technician, dental technician and operation theatre technicians will be conducted by Punjab Medical Faculty of Health Department.
The FSc Medical Technology Group can lead to graduate courses of Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm D), BSc Physiotherapy and BSc Medical Lab.
The institutions conducting medical technology courses had no mechanism and infrastructures to conduct examinations of these technologies and hence faced many problems putting a question mark on the efficacy of these certificates. Usually the certificates were granted on the basis of experience and working in the respective fields in government hospitals and dispensaries and viva voce.
According to the arrangements, the government and private institutions providing these courses at their campuses will be affiliated with the Board to conduct their examinations in line with the existing system of Part I and Part II Intermediate.
The step will regularise the certification of medical technologies courses and will bring these courses at par with the Intermediate Science group leading to higher education in the same discipline.
The admission to these technologies at the FSc level is open to the students after matriculation. This year the institutions that would enrol the students would get registration of their students from the Board and send the registration returns as per the schedule of the Board prescribed for general education.
Most of the institutions, however, which provide two years courses in medical technology, are in private sector. The medical educationists and public circle have welcomed the step saying that it will improve the quality of education in paramedical education as well as practice besides improving the standard of health services.

V, VIII students bound to sit PEC exams
Lahore: The Punjab School Education Department has made it compulsory for all students of government and private registered schools to sit grade V and VIII examinations organised by the Punjab Examination Commission (PEC).
From April 1 next year, government schools will admit only those students in class VI and IX who have passed grade-V and VIII examinations organised by the PEC.
Privately schools registered for 'O' and 'A' levels affiliated with foreign examinations bodies will be exempted for this year.
The Schools Education Department has decided to implement the 'Policy of Grade-V and Grade-VIII Examinations, 2010' to promote the uniform system of examination and upgrade the existing system of grade V and VIII examinations across Punjab.
The department states that all executive district officers (education) will be responsible for smooth conduct of examinations and fair marking of answer-sheets. They will also be responsible for arranging halls, furniture, drinking water and toilets for candidates.
As far as possible, examination centres will be established in high and higher secondary schools. Elementary and primary schools can only be considered if there is no high school in the vicinity. The standard strength of a centre will be between 200 to 300 candidates. In the urban area, the centres of less than 200 candidates will not be established. Only in exceptional cases in rural areas, centres can be established for 100 girl candidates. These centres will be given permanent status. The notified examination centres will not be changed without the approval of the PEC.
The marking of answer sheets will be carried out in other tehsils/towns of the district in such a manner that tehsils are not inter-changed. The 60 per cent of answer sheets will be marked through computers.
It is learnt that the grade-V annual examination for 2010 will be held in the first week of February next and grade-VIII examination in the second week of February. The results of both examinations will be declared on March 31. The PEC expects that some 2.3 million students will appear for these examinations every year.
The incentive award for teachers and scholarships to students will be determined on the basis of these examination results.
The students of government schools, Punjab Education Foundation schools and registered private schools can submit registration and admission forms free of cost from Sept 10 (tomorrow) till Nov 10 this year. The Punjab government itself will provide Rs2 registration fee per student to the PEC.
The PEC will provide question papers in both Urdu and English languages for Urdu and English medium students. Question papers will be set on the basis of solo taxonomy and learning outcomes to meet international standards. The commission's previous examinations' question-papers have been uploaded at commission's website www.pec.edu.pk.
In order to hold these examinations in a transparent manner, the PEC will also appoint over 3,000 field inspectors for monitoring.

Live vicariously through Santa Cruz locals as they (and a few visiting pros) take late drops in "Two Days of Makes and Breaks." Wince as you imagine yourself as the surfer in each wipe-out. Ask yourself: "Would I have made that weird, sucked-out drop that sent the guy on my screen over the falls?" The makes are always worth the breaks, especially in this edit from Guerin Myall of Gut Wrenching Productions. Note: If you're not one who regularly head-bangs and/or frequents a mosh pit then you may want to turn the music down.

Editorial staff at the paper would not be drawn on rumours that they are in fact planning a massive two page centrefold expose article on the beleagured bard, the viciousness of which has not been seen since the break-up of The Tin Lids, and its brilliantly documented aftermath.
Speaking from the pool area of Dreamnation's tour retreat somewhere in the Top End, his Esperanto interpreter laughed in the face of what seems like an impending PR disaster.
"Well, you've got to look at this in terms of Davey's fan base. I mean, despite all his efforts to make his songs available over the Internet, the reality is that he has only one or two fans, both of whom live in Launceston, where Internet connection speeds are sensational. So an article in the freaking NME isn't going to worry Davey. He's got his eyes on the ball. He's going to tour Tasmania again."
It remains to be seen whether Dreamnation's apparent isolationism will work, especially as he has always maintained his determination to "make it" in the UK. Ironically enough, his third single last night betty is due for release the day before the so-called article rolls of the NME presses. Needless to say, anything short of a scathing response from the artist will only encourage rumours and innuendo. But, as ever, Davey's interpreter remained tight-lipped.
"Mnn, hnn, hnrhh," was all she could say, before hanging up.

Marcia was a skilled professional photographer. She expressed her love for life with her photography and it gave her great joy to share her photos with friends and family. She was a self-published poet, writing about love and just about any subject. Marcia was a very compassionate person and a mental health counselor. She loved women's studies, enjoyed meditation and nature, traveling, bike-riding, and taking long walks with her treasured dog, Rainbow. She was a sober member of Alcoholics Anonymous for 20 consecutive years and was a vital member of that community.
She was preceded in death by her mother in 1957, and her father in 1982. She is survived by her step-mother, Joy Galvin; sisters, Merrie Van Syoc and Leslie Nakagawa; nephews, Kyle, Evan, Jay, Will; and many dear friends. Marcia requested that those who want to remember her give donations to the SPCA for Monterey County or a favorite charity.

About This Class
One of the questions I hear so often from new freelance writers is:
"How do I get writing gigs if I don't have any clips? And how do I get clips if I can't get any gigs?"
It seems like a catch 22, but you can overcome this obstacle and create an amazing portfolio by following the guidance of this class.
This is the same technique I used to create a portfolio that helped me snag big name clients such as MTV, CBS, eBay, Zappos, Yellow Pages and many more.
The class will cover how to create fresh clips, even without a gig and how to organize a beautiful portfolio...for free.

Home > Strimmers and Brushcutters
Ideal for mowing in confined spaces or around obstacles.
This is a powerful 4-MIX engine brushcutter with smooth performance and comfortable operation.
Fantastic cutting with an AutoCut head
Thanks to STIHL's 1.05 kW 4-MIX engine, the FS 111 R enjoys all the benefits of 4-stroke power without the drawbacks, utilising mixed lubrication technology to run on a fuel-oil mix just like a 2-stroke machine. Some of these advantages include faster acceleration, higher power and torque, as well as less noise and emissions, with higher fuel efficiency.
Supplied with an AutoCut mowing head, you can simply tap the head on the ground to renew the line as it wears, ensuring maximum cutting performance at all times.
Simple operation from this capable machine
A larger tank on the engine means you will find yourself stopping this machine less frequently to top up. Also included is a manual fuel pump that delivers fuel to the carburettor at the touch of a button, minimising the number of starting strokes needed after extended breaks in operation. Thanks to a decompression valve, the amount of force required to pull the starter rope is also decreased, resulting in much easier starting all round.
When you stop the machine, the stop switch automatically returns to the starting position, allowing for easier restarting of the unit.
Comfortable to use even over long periods
Supplied complete with a single shoulder harness, the FS 111 R is a loop-handled machine, making it ideal for work in confined spaces and mowing around obstacles in comfort. This model is lightweight, at just 5.5 kg, and is easy to use, with a multi-function handle housing all of the important engine and speed controls.
On top of this, STIHL have included their impressive anti-vibration technology with this machine, resulting in oscillations from the engine being dampened for a reduction in vibrations at the handle.

LULLABY FOR THE INSANE (C) SugarDaddy Productions, Inc.(Click here to watch the lyric video)
Lullaby for the insane
Got murder on the brain
I'm first in this game
I'll slit your throat now your slain
I'm Metal J the Grim Raper (Raper)
I'll put your name in the paper (Paper)
That bitch don't want to have sex
Well fuck it I'll make her
A Twisted individual
You'll die will have a sidual
Me and your mom ain't that a fucked up visual
So you think that I'm crazy
Cause my brain goes hazy
The cops want to chase me for that rape
Can you blame me?
I dropped my sick brain on this track
Totally institutionalized you can't fuck with that
Maybe you should get down on your knees and pray
Metal J, Metal J, Metal J, Metal J
Aww shit, what? I got blood on my coat
Let me clear my throat (nana nana nana na)
I'm cleaning up the blood as your lying their slain
Lullaby for the insane, LULLABY FOR THE INSANE
I'm sittin' here laughin' and there's no one to blame
Lullaby for the insane, LULLABY FOR THE INSANE
Your shit talking bitch now it's time you felt the pain
Lullaby for the insane, LULLABY FOR THE INSANE
You'll never breathe another breath
Lullaby for the insane, LULLABY FOR THE INSANE
Hush little baby don't you cry
Slit your throat and watch you die
Out the window your corpse will fly
That's why this is my lullaby
Entropy is the name I'm certifiably insane
Fucked in the brain but you won't hear me complain
Aiming for your neck like a rooster on a chopping block
My fists cold swinging like a chain and pad lock
My first day out the mental ward
Motherfuck them and everyone aboard
I don't think I am sick just a hypochondriac
"Who loves ya baby" just like Teley Kojack
Or Starvros, his partner in crime
I'll kill you faster then heroin killed the guy from Sublime
Daddy Long Legs is in the set so you can start the parades
Im the messenger of evil so come join my crusades
Styles blowing bigger than a crate of hand grenades
Cause Wolfpac love spreading quicker than Aids
A voice like the devil and a mind like a psycho
I'll creep you from behind and then I'll stick ya like Michael
Myers so don't forget the pliers, or the roll of barbedwires
Listing to me like I was Jacoby and Myers
I touch my private parts in public more than Peewee Herman
This lullaby of madness flows from Daddy Long Legs sermon
Your stupid asses dumb so now it's time I beat a learning
Throw your girlfriend to her knees cause when she drops my butters churning
With J and Entropy you know we laid a strong foundation
When it comes to whack ass rappers the only end is (extermination)
As I awake from my sleep
My thoughts they start to creep
You're just another mark on the wall
The seventh one this week
I'll kill you with ease
And stick my knife and deep
And cut out different pieces
Cause souvenirs I like to keep
Like your head or your heart or maybe just your eyes
I get the deepest pleasure just from hearing your final cries
But your body is not dying and clinging onto life
So I stuffed you in my cabinet that was made by Duncan Phyfe
You won't be he forever just long enough to suffer
You shouldn't feel so bad I did the same thing to your mother
And your father and next will be your brother
As soon as they all dead yeah I'll move onto another
But now we are finished and your final breath has come
Your organs sprawled across these walls this lullaby is done
(Chorus till end)
Go back

While on her hands there is a hook on the right and an arm gun on the left.

Tallahassee, Fla. – Florida State soccer is now 2-for-2 when it comes to preseason top five rankings. The Tribe was pegged No. 5 in Soccer America's preseason poll Friday. It is the highest ranking ever for FSU from the nation's oldest soccer publication. The previous high was No. 6 and that was in the magazine's final poll in 2003, which was released before the NCAA Tournament.
This is the second preseason poll this week to place FSU in the top five. Soccer Buzz picked the Seminoles fifth as well in its preseason poll released Wednesday. Both rankings are the second highest in school history. The only time FSU was ever ranked higher than fifth was when CollegeSoccer.com ranked the team fourth in September of 2001. The fans of Tallahassee will get their first look at the No. 5 team in America tonight at 7:00 p.m. when the Seminoles play their only home preseason game of the year against No. 8 Tennessee.
This will be the final tune-up for FSU before opening the season next week when it hosts the 2004 Nike Seminole Classic. Tennessee is a Sweet 16 squad from 2003 and defender Keeley Dowling is one of the top players in the nation. The Lady Vols should provide FSU with a challenge similar to what they will face during the regular season.
The Seminoles are one of two ACC teams in the top five, joining defending Champion North Carolina who enters the season ranked No. 1. Four ACC teams are in the first top 12 of the season. Virginia, tabbed third in the ACC preseason coaches poll, is ranked seventh and Clemson is No. 12.
Five of FSU's 2004 opponents are ranked among the nation's top 25 squads. Three of the teams are ranked in the top 12, No. 1 North Carolina, No. 7 Virginia and No. 12 Clemson. Florida is No. 16 and the Tribe's season opening opponent Arizona State comes in at No. 20.
Tonight's scrimmage between two of the south's top teams is open to the public and free of charge. Live Stats and the first of 14 Internet radio broadcasts will also be available exclusively through seminoles.com.

I'm a little sad that summer is half over. I've not really done any summer things. I'm not very good with outdoor chores. My front lawn shows it as it begins to turn an unpleasant shade of brown. But I'm smart and I know how to use the internet so I'm on a mission to save it.
The obvious first thing is more water. There is no in ground sprinkler system so I've begun to use an ancient back and forth sprinkler that came with this house. It squirts but not well. Looking for something new and first item on a "Ten Best" site for lawn sprinklers is this baby.
It's the Orbit 6210 Yard Enforcer with day and night motion detection. Motion detection? "It sprays and deters unwanted animals without wasting water or energy." Yes but it will also spray and deter the neighborhood kids who play ball in the street in front of my house. I remember "that guy" in the neighborhood I grew up in. Actually it was an older woman, Mrs. Kramer. She sat on her porch all day. God forbid your bike should vere toward the edge of her grass. Once I actually fell off of my bike onto her grass. She didn't say "Are you okay?" It was "Hey you, get off of my grass". I'll give the Orbit 6210 a pass.
Do you listen to the Will Shorts puzzles on NPR's weekend edition Sunday? When they are word puzzles that are solved knowing the meaning of words I'm pretty good. But it it's an anagrams or crossword I suck. I've never learned to spell. This week's challenge is something like this; think of a famous resident of Chicago with the first name of Al. Substitute the "e" in the last name with an "i" and you get a famous actor also named Al.
For the first time in my life I solved it immediately. It must be too easy. How long did it take you?
The world is trying to make sense of the Helski press conference in which Trump sided with the President of Russia instead of our Intelligence community. People seem much more comfortable with the words "traitor" and "treason". Is this a Tipping Point? I doubt it.
Enjoy hump day. I'm going to do something summery.

One day two youngsters were discussing their career options, standing under a tree, when it suddenly began to pour. The heavy showers were accompanied by lightning that tore through the sky.
The black firmament threatened the two youngsters with her thunderous voice. The twosome immediately took to their legs. They ran towards the first available shade before continuing with their discussion. In a while the skies eased, revealing their true colour.
The two youngsters started walking away, wondering aloud about the funny and sudden climate changes.
"Ask the weathermen and they will blame it on global warming. Ask the scientists and they will blame it on the abuse by common man. Ask the common man and he will blame the politician. Ask the politician and he will blame the media and ask the media, they will say that the entire system is corrupt," opined one of them, while the other burst into uncontrollable laughter.
"How true," was all that he could manage.
As the youngsters walked away, the trees began conversing with each other. The sudden lightning had caused them to understand the conversation of the two human beings and they could also hear each other talk.
They now had elevated levels of consciousness. The leaves had heard most part of the conversation between the youngsters and began thinking.
One tree's leaves asked the others, "What have we been doing? We never thought of a lot of things in life. Hope all of you heard what I heard. These two young boys know so much."
The leaves of the other trees nodded in agreement. An old tree in their midst spoke up gently.
"If we can predict the direction of wind our leaves can be better prepared to face the fury of nature," she felt.
"Did you hear the boy say, that it was becoming difficult these days to understand which side the wind would blow," said one worried youngster.
"Yes. He also mentioned that we must be prepared. The future may not be the west. It seems the wind looked favourable eastwards. The current trend is to follow the east," the leaves of one smart tree observed.
The leaves were playing and re-playing the conversation word by word. As word started spreading and the trees were getting used to the process of thinking, some unspoken words got added to the conversation, increasing the vocabulary of the trees.
Days passed and the trees picked up words from human beings who sought shelter under them. More conversations regarding the wind's course were discussed. The west, it seems was becoming too exorbitant and future development will happen in the eastern direction.
"While some humans use the word 'wind', some say 'current trend'. I have also heard the word opportunity. Maybe that is a different kind of wind," the leaves of the old tree said.
But the youngsters wanted to know how prepared they could be to face the change that human beings are talking about.
"After all, they have been thinking longer than us. So if they say, even we must be prepared," told the youngsters to the older trees.
"Maybe we all can tilt 15 degrees in the western side and when the wind starts blowing we will be in a better position to face it," predicted one intelligent tree.
The rest of them hailed his intelligence and analytical ability and went to him for prudent advice. A few weeks later, a huge storm unleashed itself in the region, felling many trees. Some of the trees that were lucky enough to withstand nature's fury had lost all their leaves and most of the stems.
Hardly a few leaves were sticking on their stems and after the storm passed, they slowly recovered from the shock.
"How do we re-build ourselves from here? None of our strategies worked. May be we should try an out-of-the-box thinking," said one leaves trying to overcome his initial shock.
"Maybe we should ask the root, as they seem to have survived the storm better," the other one offered.
They called out to the root that was partially jutting out of the ground. The soil around him was washed away by the steady downpour.
"Which direction were you tilted, east or west, when the storm hit the place," they asked him?
The root was confused.
To him it did not matter...
To him it did not matter...


text: Brand Marketing Pyro Takes It One Game At A Time By Steve Krajewski|November 16, 1998Share By Steve Krajewski|November 16, 1998Share Socko TV For Radica Usa's Nascar Racer Could Lead To More Work DALLAS–Pyro here has reeled in project work for Radica USA and a shot at handling the firm's $10 million advertising account. The developer of handheld electronic games has assigned television creative duties for a new Nascar-licensed product to Pyro after screening an undisclosed field of Dallas-area shops. Harold Stone, Radica's director of marketing, said the move was prompted by his desire to find an agency closer to the 14-year-old company's Dallas operations. Stone would not identify the other shops that were considered. He said he was impressed by Pyro's experience marketing video games as well as its ads for clients such as Air Ware's Dr. Martens footwear. "[Radica USA] is just a sleepy little company that's dominating the market," said Pyro principal John Beitter. "This is a great opportunity for us." Radica's most recent television work was developed by Livingston 5, Los Angeles. Its media buys, which include network TV, are handled by Time and Space, also in Los Angeles. Stone said those shops have been informed that their portions of the business could be moved to Pyro if the agency's work on a new version of the Nascar Racer game is successful. Stone also said he has not ruled out the possibility of maintaining multi-agency relationships. Pyro's TV creative assignments were doled out after the shop succesfully created a video promoting Radica's 1999 game line to toy buyers. Radica expanded from its initial gambling-themed handheld line in 1995. One of its most popular products is the three-year-old Bass Fishin' game. According to Stone, that model has sold five million units through retailers including Wal-Mart, Target and Toys 'R Us. Stone said Radica is projecting fiscal 1998 sales at more than $120 million, up from $79 million in 1997. He said the firm plans to spend $10 million on U.S. advertising in 1999. Radica's current TV campaign for its fishing and Trail Burner mountain bike racing games is backed by $5.5 million, Stone said. Share http://adweek.it/2kQ3Zzo copy Adweek Adweek

Mercedes-Benz C-Class Estate (2008–2014)
Last updated 25 July 2018
Report of electromechanical parking brake of 2012 MB S204 C class estate automatic failing to hold the car on a steep incline. Owner has to also put it in Park and then it rolls back a bit. When she...
Ironically, my first drive of a W204 was on the Honda Accord launch the week before 'my' C320 CDI arrived. Honda had hired examples of the competition and the Mercedes representative was a base spec C200 CDI Classic SE manual.
I actually liked that car. It felt completely honest and that it would do 1,000,000 miles. It wasn't fast, but the gear ratios were well matched to the engine, it handled well and it was comfortable enough for the driver to last 1,000,000 miles as well.
The £42,000 C320 CDI Sport estate was a different kind of animal. In basic form it costs £35,000, but this one had £7,000 of extras. The usual stuff: leather at £1,295, satnav at £1,995, park assist at £605, metallic paint at £620. However it did include (for £610) a very clever towbar that completely tucked away under the rear valence where it could do no harm when not in use.
For the £17,500 extra it cost over the C200 CDI Classic saloon, this C320 CDI Sport estate was a genuine luxury sports estate. Instead of a pedestrian 10.2 seconds to 60, it gets there in 6.8. it gobbles a bit more expensive diesel (33.7mpg in my case) but manages to steer relatively clear of Alistair Darling's clutches with a CO2 output of 199g/km. That means £210 tax this year and £260 next year. Not too painful.

Temper Sanguine is the sequel to the Rainbow Award-winning paranormal romance Spirit Sanguine, about a vampire slayer new to Chicago who finds that his assumptions about vampires are turned on their head when he attempts to stalk a hot young vamp named Harvey (who's a vegetarian, a bad driver, and has a penchant for sexy role-playing.) Instead of slaying him, they start seeing each other, all while solving some mysteries together.
I really enjoyed book 1, and overall really like Harper's low-key writing, natural dialogue, and characters who live beyond stereotypes, which is a nice draw when picking up another vampire romance. This sequel continues from book 1, where Harvey and Gabe are still very together, although are now surfing some tensions, mostly due to Harvey's fears that his "forced turning" by some vampires high on "bad blood" will eventually change him into a monster, the very same ones that Gabe used to kill in Europe.
Like book 1, book 2 is broken up into different stories, this time two different but linked mysteries, the first that sends our duo to New York and then later, to Hungary to track an old vampire menace.
For those who liked book 1, and Gabe and Harvey's developing relationship, it's easy to recommend the sequel. It's nice to return to Harper's world of "realistic vampires" who have to cope with day-to-day things, all while still having to solve some crimes and track some bad guys (or bad vamps.) I also love Harvey and Gabe's relationship, and its mix of comfortable (and sexy) playfulness, even while they try to deal with their differences, including their habit of keeping things from each other.
For me, the first mystery in New York was the stronger and the more exciting of the two. The second, where our boys jet to Hungary, was scenic and interesting, but I definitely felt the pacing dip during that half, especially with sections that had felt heavy with exposition.
But overall, it was still a joy to return to Gabe and Harvey's world, and I'm on board for any further adventures with them. If you enjoy paranormal romances, it's a very good read, although I definitely recommend book 1 first. You'll get way more out of the characters since there isn't much explained about what happened earlier. And after that, don't forget to check out the free short story that's set between book 1 and 2, Late Night Snack.
Reviewed first for Boys in our Books.

John proposed to me on the 4th Anniversary of our first date. He hired a personal chef to come to our home and cook us a gourmet five course meal, served out on our patio. What a wonderful surprise, it was delicious, casual and romantic and a special way to mark four years! At the end of the evening, we exchanged gifts. John gave me a medium sized box, and as I opened it, a Rolex box was revealed… I was a bit surprised, for I knew that he had been spending a lot of time at Williams Jewelers "looking at watches" and there was one particular Rolex that he really wanted for himself, thus the reasoning for multiple trips to Williams Jewelers.
I thought to myself, as I opened this box "oh wow, he wasn't looking for a Rolex for himself, he was secretly looking for me! What an incredible anniversary gift!" I opened the classic green Rolex box, but there was no watch. Instead, perfectly propped up on the watch band holder, was a stunning diamond ring. That moment was so surreal and so unexpected (I thought for sure I would know when he would "pop the question" but he remained so calm throughout the evening).
I was SO SURPRISED and so very excited! He proposed, I SAID YES and I am so thrilled to be engaged to him, to wear this absolutely striking engagement ring, excited to plan our wedding and to spend the rest of our lives together.
On a side note: A few weeks later I was lucky enough to be proposed to all over again… John's kids, Makena (11yrs) and Jack (9), wanted to be there too when he proposed, so they set up a surprise breakfast at home on a Saturday morning and the three of them proposed and asked me to be part of their family, Jack made sure his Dad got down on one knee to do it… and of course I said YES YES YES (one for each of them).
Cheers and thank you Keri for assisting John in creating our engagement ring. I really love it!
