You know how you can be going along enjoying your summer, going on vacations, enjoying patio dining at restaurants, buying cute summer clothes, dropping your computer and anteing up to get it fixed, treating yourself to Pinkberry perhaps too frequently and then you sit down to pay bills only to discover you've spent all your money and then some? Shit!
I pay the bills because I care about if the bank statement and my spreadsheet match up to the penny whereas Scott is good if the two are relatively close. It's silly for us to both spend our time on the banking, I do it and Scott mostly doesn't want to know the details. But then there are the times when I pay the bills and get grumpy and my bad mood affects the mood of the house and that he cares about. Then we have a conversation that goes something like this:
Scott: "What's with you?"
Me: "We were supposed to be rich when we didn't have to pay for preschool anymore. It's been 2 months and not only are we not rich, I can't find any extra money!"
Scott: "Where is all the money going?"
Me: "Vacations, the Arkansas trip, the kids' activities- they better get good enough at something to get a scholarship,... "
Scott: (interrupting me) "I'm going to teach the 5 y/o to dunk!" (there is a commercial about a dad teaching his young kid to dunk so the kid can get a scholarship. If you haven't seen it, it's funny and it's Scott's new go to line.)
Me: "...an iPad, fixing the computer screen, restaurants, food, clothes, did I mention the kids' activities? If they stopped doing stuff for a year we could go on an awesome vacation, but that probably hurts the scholarship chances."
Scott: "I'm going to teach the 5 y/o to dunk!"
Me: (sigh)
Scott: "We should spend less money."
Me: "We could stop drinking a bottle of wine a night."
Scott: "Let's not get crazy."
So, yeah, the obvious solution is to rein in the spending. My 3 go to things for decreased spending are:
1. Cut out the restaurants.
We don't go to restaurants that often, but dining out does add up. Gone. Easy. (Except for my Pinkberry habit. I'm cutting it out, but that ain't easy!)
2. Stay the hell away from Costco.
If must go, stick to the list!!! Not so easy.
3. Stay the hell away from Target.
If must go, stick to the list!!! Damn near impossible.
Well, Danger Danger Will Robinson, I needed to go to both Costco and Target yesterday. I had an item to return at Costco. I walked in, went to the returns, got my cash and left. Success! It's like I made money, because the original expenditure was over a month ago and the money was long gone. I had 4 items on my Target list. I went in, I put the 4 items in the basket, I resisted the urge to peruse the store despite the fact that I was sans children, I checked out for a total of $30ish. Success!
I was totally exhausted after those 2 stops. It took A LOT of will power to be so reined in. But, I was also quite proud and impressed with my bad self. Just a few more days or weeks or months of my savings plan and I am sure to feel flush except that the kids need back to school supplies, new sports gear, new cool weather clothes (hopefully the warm weather will last for awhile), Scott's car might disintegrate any day, then there's Xmas (the grandparents have to pretend to be thrilled with those handmade kid gifts, right?), birthdays, BLAH!!! It will never end!
Now I'm grumpy again. A stop at Pinkberry on my way to Target will surely make me feel better!
Peace & Love :-)

text: January 26, 2009Lord T & Eloise This past Saturday night, Rory and I (along with some of our friends), got to experience quite a show when we ventured downtown to Mercy Lounge/Cannery Ballroom for the Lord T and Eloise Concert. One of my good friends, Ashley G, dates one of the lead rappers in the trio, and she has always told me whenever they came to town I just had to see them and promised I wouldn't be let down. Well, she was right… we all LOVED their show and I will definitely be joining them again the next time they decide to visit Nashville. You can visit their website here and I've also attached a video I found from You Tube just so you can see how much fun they have on-stage…. doesn't hurt they pour out free champagne to audience members too!

Cycling Malaysia flies to Indonesia and joins the five- star fun bike tour.
Wonderful Indonesia: TOMOHON
Tomohon is a hill resort located some 22 kilometers east of Manado, the capital city of North Sulawesi province. Tomohon consists of 35 villages in five sub-districts, namely West, East, Central, South and North Tomohon.
Its land contour, cool weather and fertile soil encourage the local community to cultivate various kinds of flowers and vegetables. This city is known as a producer of flowers. When in season, the flower gardens of the local inhabitants look very beautiful.
Annually the Tomohon Flower Festival is held here in June and July. During this event, watch the flower floats parade through the town. A flower tournament is also held during this Festival where participants from 94 cities in Indonesia take part at the Inspiration Hill.
Invitation received: five-star fun and two return tickets to curiosity.
It was easily our permission slip to be curious in our two wheels and turn strangers into friends in the striking city of Tomohon. Team Cycling Malaysia tells you the story of how fitness and fun were rolled into one in this five-star cycling package.
One hundred sixty-eight riders began pedaling from Lake Linow Lahendong, South Tomohon. Blue, green, turquoise—the lake is known for its high sulfur content that throws shadows of light in this array of colors. Alongside the panorama of the lake that constantly changes colors depending on the viewing angle, riders from across regions also brought with them stories to share on the road that added more interesting dimensions to the tour.
"In addition to domestic and foreign tourists such as Japan and Malaysia, the Tour de Tomohon also followed the ranks of Garuda Indonesia, police and local governments," said event organizer Ferry Palar.
As the only delegates from Malaysia, together with another from Japan, we were immediately introduced to the Indonesian tradition by the lake, right before the flag-off.
It was a hearty welcome with a dose of interesting scare from the Minahasa Tribe Warriors, clothed in cheerful red fabrics, with macaque skulls hanging from their necks, and crowned with a large feathered headdress, dancing and moving akin to roosters ready to spring for a kill in a cockfight. In their fierce glares, their Kabasaran Dance showed more legend and attitude for a welcome greeting.


text: shanenin Report post Posted July 12, 2010 I got a laptop in the shop today that would not fireup(no lights or noise). two things come to mind. The computer is not getting power to the board: this could be caused by a bad ac adapter, bad dc jack. Assuming the computer is getting power, then that would probably point to something on the mobo being bad. Here is the cool part, the battery has a dc jack on it. This will allow me to charge the battery directly. Assuming the battery is good, I should be able to charge it for a while then see if the computer will fire up.edit:still does not fireup. I am fairly confident it is a bad board. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

this is a test Who We Are Landing Page
By Leanne Howard | Business Agility Practice Director
Can Agile help with TMMi competency? This is a question I will be answering when looking at how Agile methodologies/frameworks align with gaining TMMi Level 4 accreditation.
This article is an overview of how to achieve TMMi Level 4 accreditation. For more in-depth information about Level 4, check out the full document on the TMMi foundation website.
If you have not had the opportunity to read the previous articles describing Levels 2 (PART I: Test Policy and Strategy, PART II: Test Planning, Monitoring and Beyond) and 3 (PART I: Test Planning, Monitoring and Beyond, PART II: Non-Functional and Peer Reviews), I encourage you to check them out to understand the TMMi path towards Level 4.
It is important to remember there is a natural break between TMMi Level 3 and TMMi Levels 4 and 5. There also continues to be significant controversy over the value of moving an organisation to TMMi Level 4 and 5.
Agile organisations are recommended to critically choose and only do the practices at TMMi Levels 4 and 5 that matter and have added value. Whilst TMMi is comprehensive, to be successful, organisations must identify the key testing practices and improvements requiring focus.
Hereafter information will be provided regarding TMMi Level 4 and how one can gain the values from these higher TMMi Levels, and its practices by using them less formally with an Agile approach. In my opinion, Agile is far more disciplined than traditional approaches, as the timelines are condensed and the key is to eliminate waste.
Firstly, somewhat contrasting with what has been stated, one may also consider already selectively using TMMi Level 4 practices with Agile techniques to address key business objectives while trying to achieve TMMi Level 2 or 3.
You do not need to wait and you shouldn't. Be flexible and do not get stuck on TMMi Level 2 and 3 testing practices. As such, use TMMi in a more continuous mode to some extent, and don't use the maturity levels too strictly.
The purpose of the Test Measurement is to identify, collect, analyse and apply measurements to support an organisation in objectively evaluating the effectiveness and efficiency of the test process, the productivity of its testing staff, the resulting product quality, and the results of test improvement. As such, the test organisation will develop and sustain a test measurement capability that is used to support management information needs.
Agile supports getting commitment of those who must perform and accurately measure work in projects. However, Agile approaches don't tend to provide much support when it comes to stepping back to ensure the right measures are used across the organisation.
Agile team autonomy, self-organising, and managed teams seem to go against organisational alignment. However, it is important to decide which boundaries must be kept across all teams, and where teams can go their own way.
A measurement program should be highly focused and only things that matter should be collected. Start by defining clear objectives for the measurement program and revisit those on a regular basis.
Next, discuss with stakeholders which test metrics will truly support these objectives. Based on this brainstorm, a limited set of core metrics will be defined.
Specific context-relevant measures are needed based on business needs. The purpose of measurements is to guide decisions. Use small empowered teams to derive meaningful measures, and then review and refine them in short cycles.
With a focused test measurement program starting from added (business) value, the TMMi Test Measurement process area is totally in line with the Agile principle of simplicity. Ensure there is a lean test measurement and data collection strategy within the organisation.
It's worth pointing out that one can evolve a test measurement program by starting with just a few focused measurement objectives and a few key measures, and expand or modify them later as business needs evolve and change.
Note that within Agile the focus will be a more team and systems-based thinking. This may result in a corresponding broadening of some of the metrics to the team and overall system, rather than being confined solely to the specifics of testing itself. This may well lead to more challenges at the measurement analysis phase.
Of course, the metrics that will be defined, and for whom data will be collected, will depend on the measurement objectives, but some examples of typical testing metrics for Agile teams are:
Once the relevant measures are defined based on business needs, the specific practices within this specific goal are typically all applicable in largely the same way as within a traditional organisation. The only difference being that this will be done with a different mindset to keep the practices as lean as possible.
The necessary test measurement data is collected and checked for completeness and integrity. Subsequently the data is analysed as planned and the results are communicated to all relevant stakeholders.
The purpose of the Product Quality Evaluation is to develop a quantitative understanding of the quality of products, and thereby support the achievements of specific projects' product quality goals.
In essence, there is no real difference to identifying and setting measurable prioritised goals for product quality in an Agile context compared to doing this in a traditional environment. The overall objective is to contribute to satisfying the needs and desires of customers and end users for quality products.
There are multiple options for doing this in an Agile context. Some use Definition-of-Done (DoD) to define measurable goals for product quality, others use features, epics or user stories with acceptance criteria to make them measurable.
The choice (way of working) depends, amongst other things, on the nature of the product quality goal. Refer to ISO25010 for an overview of quality attributes.
DoD is a comprehensive checklist of necessary team activities and/or work products that ensure that only truly done user stories are delivered, not only in terms of functionality, but in terms of product quality as well. The advantage of stating product quality goals within the DoD is that it keeps them visible to, and therefore actionable by, the entire team.
There is also greater collaboration with the end customer in Agile, so there is likely to be a better understanding of what quality means to the customer rather than an assumption of what it is.
Once the quantitative product quality goals have been set, they will be monitored, controlled and possibly adjusted when necessary. The same methods and techniques can be used for tracking and managing progress towards achieving the product quality goals as already explained and described in the process area 2.3 Test Monitoring and Control at TMMi Level 2.
Progress will be measured and discussed daily through the daily standup meeting reporting on progress, quality and risk. In addition, Product Quality Evaluation is typically also supported by the Test Measurement process area, which provides a measurement infrastructure.
The purpose of the Advanced Reviews, building on the practices of the TMMi Level 3 process area Peer Reviews, is to measure product quality early in the lifecycle, and to enhance the test strategy and test approach by aligning peer reviews (static testing) with dynamic testing.
In an Agile environment, the approach to ensuring product quality should be one in which all testing related activities, both static and dynamic, are organised as one coherent and coordinated approach. The Agile team is expected to take the lead in establishing a coherent and effective integrated approach. In Agile, there is in fact encouragement to find defects early (shift left), so static testing is critical.
At TMMi Level 4, the organisation sets quantitative goals for software products and related work products. Peer reviews play an essential role in achieving these goals.
Whereas at TMMi Level 3 peer reviews are mainly performed to find defects, the emphasis is now on measuring product/document quality to control product quality early in the lifecycle. Review practices are enhanced to include steps such as sampling, applying exit criteria, and prescribing rules.
This is clearly a practice that will fit with a high maturity Agile organisation. Another example would be to use the INVEST rules [Wake] for user stories as a Definition of Ready (DoR), and to measure the quality of the user stories. Having a DoR means that stories must be immediately actionable.
When peer review results and dynamic testing are coordinated, early review results and data can influence product risks and the test approach. As already stated at specific goal 1 of this process area, in Agile, quality is a team effort and the results of verification and validation-based activities will be discussed at team meetings.
Therefore, the principle of using early testing results to influence successive testing activities has an almost perfect match with the way-of-working within Agile teams and projects.
Agile practices can support the attainment of TMMi Level 4 and, in fact, a lot of the extra discipline required to be successful are definite enablers. Whilst measurement can seem less crucial in Agile projects, it is the fact that critical success factors are being measured to ensure customer value and satisfaction.

I like to reassess gear choice on a regular basis, making sure the reasons I chose a particular piece of camping gear are still relevant. Obviously I can only draw on my own needs and wants, so I'm going to list the top features and benefits I was looking for in a flashlight, followed by a brief explanation as to why they were, and still are, important to me.
The Best Camping Axe is a Saw
Why an axe? As an outdoor icon, the axe seems ingrained in many people's mind as the go to tool. It chops, splits and pounds. An axe is simple, rugged and easy to maintain. It's also slow, heavy, and inefficient — at least when it comes to collecting wood for a campfire. And it is with this purpose in mind that we'll look at why modern saw design far surpasses the cutting ability of a small axe, or for those who prefer, "hatchet", when cutting firewood in the back-country.

Swish: Dribbbleable dribbble app for iPhone
I don't know what to make of native dribbble apps for the iPhone. To me dribbble is a 'website' than something that goes in an app. 95% of the time I land on dribbble is via a link on twitter or a google search. Moreover the dribbble api doesn't allow any searching (yet), so you're stuck with the four limited feeds. But that's just me. Probably tons of people who want to dribbble it up every morning, on the go, and just before bedtime. And for that, we have our third iPhone dribbble app, Swish, designed by Mathieu White and developed by Joshua Tucker. It's the prettiest of the lot.
White has added some sexy gloss to its UI, while leaving the rest to the content out of the dribbble API — absolutely stunning on a retina display. Unlike in Dunk where you have to view one shot at a time, Swish shows you a grid of shots to choose from. Choosing a shot will show you comments, views, and the ability to view a profile. In terms of appearances, the custom pixels, though few, are delicious. The vibrant icon itself makes it worth having the app on your homescreen.
But, when it comes to creating custom UI, designers must ensure that they behave predictably. This pop-over style is rarely seen on the iPhone, which usually known to bring up actions in a sheet. I won't dispute that the pop-over is quite well suited to the purpose, but it needs to be done right. In Swish, the pop-over isn't dismissed until you tap on the very button that triggered it, where as we've seen on the iPad, just tapping outside should dismiss it. Not just that. While tapping an empty spot will keep the pop-over active, tapping a thumbnail will trigger an event, where you had intended on dismissing the pop-over. It's not the end of the world, and should probably just be filed as a bug, but I just wanted to point out how using custom UI can mess up the UX.
But other than that, Swish is a great client, and does well with whatever little the dribbble api throws at it. Costs $1.99 on the App Store.

Fake flowers and liniment bottles don't rot
though decades back their owners last left
the locks unturned.
Now explorers scatter dust and feathers,
searching dates in piles of papers
under a caged upturned breastbone.
A song long ago slipped its wires,
burst the sofa window, dissolved into
ocean of wide open sky.
ocean of wide open sky.

There are tons of toxic people in this world and the more they work to manipulate us the more aware of them we need to become. While you might not be able to spot these people in your life right now, I can almost guarantee there is at least one far closer than you would like for them to be in your circle.
In this world, most of us at least have one person who is trying to work to manipulate us. This person is someone who pretends to have your best interests in mind all the while working to control you and gain whatever he or she can through using you to his or her advantage. These people should not be in our close circles and we should be distancing ourselves from them. However, we cannot distance ourselves from them unless we are able to spot them.
Below I am going to go over some of the signs that could indicate someone close to you is trying to manipulate you. These signs should not go overlooked. If these signs are present in regards to a specific person, you need to reevaluate their presence in your life.
When someone is trying to manipulate you they will play with your emotions. Instead of taking your feelings into consideration they will use them against you. They want you to feel as if youre hurting them even when youre not so that they can get what they want.
Those who try to manipulate you might make you out to be a bad person time after time. When they do something to hurt you they will turn things around and make it seem as if youve done something wrong even if you havent. The more you try to address the issue the more they will work to flip things around.
People who want to manipulate us will say the best things and build you up in ways that others wont but they also dont follow through with their words in their actions. They will say one thing and do another. The more you ask of them the less you will receive.
Manipulative people will go out of their way to make sure theyre making you feel like youre the one responsible for their emotional state. They will do the most to make you feel like youre breaking them down by not giving in to the things they want or might think they need. While theyre the ones working themselves up they will project this kind of thing onto you as much as they possibly can.
When someone in your life is manipulating you they will never be willing to compromise. Things will always be my way or the highway with them. The more you try to make things even, the harder they will push in the other direction.
Manipulative people will get close to you so that they can learn your insecurities and weaknesses. This is because they know they can use those things to gain more control over you. They will bring up the things that bother you the most in order to break you down as much as possible.

Goldy Cass
Godly Cass has Animal Dairy Science degree and now waiting to get into Veterinary Science. Plus she has done some modelling. So read on find about this smart beautiful women.
1. How did you decide to study Animal Dairy Science?
Ever since I can remember I have always wanted to be a veterinarian. I grew up in a military family and have had the opportunity to live and travel all over the world including California, Virginia, Rhode Island, Alabama, Mississippi, and Naples, Italy. I am originally from San Diego and definitely consider myself a Cali beach girl haha. When I decided to attend Mississippi State University I chose animal and dairy science/ pre-vet for my major. I just graduated with my bachelors of science degree in May, and now I am currently trying to get into vet school.
2. What have you learn so far from doing it?
While attending MSU I have definitely taken some interesting classes, most recently I had to take animal reproduction… basically for a whole semester we had to stick our arms up cows butts and preform AI (artificial insemination)… Not my favorite but it was definitely interesting.
3. Why are you going to study Veterinary Science?
Veterinary medicine is something that has always interested me. My aunt and uncle are both vets, and I can remember shadowing them at work as a kid. Its something that I have always dreamed to do when I grew up. And I absolutely love animals! I have 4 dogs and 2 cats currently. I am also really passionate in rescuing and fostering animals.
4. What do you hope your degree will do for you?
I hope I cant get accepted and finish vet school and start my own small animal hospital. Its always been a dream of mine.
5. What kind of broadcasting work do you hope to do?
I would love to do some sort of broadcasting work for Playboy. I have been on a few of their radio shows and had a blast.
6. How has your life changed since doing Playboy?
My life hasn't changed too much since doing Playboy. I am recognized once in awhile by students at MSU and around town. I am also a bartender at Ricks Cafe (best college night club in Starkville) and am often recognized. I have gotten to do other playboy events including Playboy Golf after being in the magazine which was fun.
7. Why pose for in Playboy?
Playboy is one of those magazine that I have always fantasized to be in. The most beautiful women in the world have posed for Playboy. I remember to day I went to the casting call. I told my roommate I was going to do it and she laughed but agreed to go with me. No one believed I would actually do it. After the casting call, I received a call that night and out of 50 girls, they chose me to represent Mississippi State! I was shocked and so excited!
8. How did your parents respond to you being in Playboy?
When I told my parents I was trying out for Playboy they laughed and said alright… and then when I actually got chosen, they didn't believe me! My mom called about 10 times asking if I was joking. When the magazine came out, my mom wasn't too thrilled and didn't want her friends to know haha, but now she brags about it. My dad was always cool with it.
10. Were you Nervous doing the shoot?
I was very nervous but also excited. I didn't know what to expect! It was funny, the day we did the shoot, I had to skip my classes and got my hair and make up done first thing in the morning. Of course the day we did the shoot, we had tornado's and severe weather all day. I remember doing the shoot and hearing the tornado sirens outside. There were 3 representatives (2 males, 1 female) who did the shoot and were amazing! They really make you feel comfortable and make sure you are have fun with it.
11. How did it feel being the center of attention when doing the shoot?
It was a great feeling! Everyone makes you feel so important and super comfortable. I had a blast and wish I can do it again soon!
12. How have people responded when you tell them your in Playboy?
Living in a small town, we don't have many famous or important people around, so when they hear that a local girl posed for Playboy, people get pretty excited. A lot of people know I'm a bartender and will come up and say something. I have done quite a few autographs. It feels great, and alot of people actually look up to me and are proud that I went out and fulfilled one of my dreams. Living in Mississippi, I also live in the bible belt… so not everyone is thrilled about it and I am probably the devil to some people haha, but I don't care. I'm proud for what I did. It is actually really hard to find the magazine around here… They don't sell it in Starkville where I live… you have to drive 30 mins to Columbus, the nearest town to even find the magazine.
13. Will do you do more modeling and Playboy stuff if it comes up?
Absolutely! I would love to to another shoot if the opportunity came up. I recently went to the Playboy Golf event in Tunica, MS which was a fun weekend.
14. How did you get involved with Playboy Golf?
I was approached my an amazing woman named Elizabeth Sullivan and asked if I would be interested in attending a casting call for Playboy Golf… and of course I said yes. I went to Memphis, TN for the casting call and was 1 out of 60 girls chosen to attend the golf event in Tunica. It was a weekend golf event in May. The girls basically made sure the golfers had a good time and we attending multiple VIP parties and got treated like princesses all weekend. It was a good time. All the girls were beautiful.
15. What are some of your favourite movies?
I'm a big movie lover! Some of my favorite movies are Friends with Benefits, Get Him to the Greek, No Strings Attached, Saving Private Ryan, Pirates of the Caribbean, Coyote Ugly, Grease, Step Brothers, Paranormal Activity… etc… So many!

Prodigies and Monsters – Mary Toft, the Rabbit Breeder!
12 March, 2015 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm£6.50
In 1726 a surgeon called John Howard revealed that he had helped a Surrey woman named Mary Toft to give birth to a number of rabbits. The London public were gripped by the news! Some thought that it was impossible rubbish and made it the target of ridicule, but many believed the story, including some very important surgeons and physicians.
Of course, Mary Toft did not really give birth to rabbits. Mary Toft was a fraud. But how could eminent men at the top of their professions have even believed that such a thing was possible?
Hear the fantastic story of Mary Toft, discovery some of the history of the birth of Monsters and Prodigies and hear some of the medical theories that tried to explain how these strange births could happen.

Would having this hitch on my car affect the warranty?
asked by: Ted P
Expert Reply:
Installing a trailer hitch will not void the warranty on your 2010 Kia Forte. There is a federal law that states in part that unless the installed item is directly responsible for a failure then the warranty cannot be voided.
With that said, the Curt Trailer Hitch, # 11019, is specifically designed for the Koup model Kia Forte. I have included a link to the installation instructions below. This hitch comes with a ball mount, hitch pin and clip. All you would need for towing is a ball, like # 19258, and trailer wiring Upgraded Circuit Protected Modulite with 4 Pole Harness, # 119179KIT. i have included a link to the installation details below.
If you have a sedan, you would need a different hitch, like Draw-Tite # 24846.
All of the available hitches for the Kia Forte are Class I, 1-1/4 inch hitches. This means they have a tongue weight capacity of 200 pounds and a gross trailer weight capacity of 2,000 pounds. Check your owners manual for the towing capacities of your Forte.

Friday evening our friends Jeff and Donneta from Kansas came down to spend the weekend like they have done every Labor Day for the last 12 years! (We go and visit them for two weeks every Christmas.) Friday evening Dad put the boat in the water, my Grandpa's 1956 Lone*star that he restored a few years ago.
Then grilled at my parents cabin, they cut up chicken breast chunks and wrapped them in bacon on skewers. YUM it went fantastically with some Idaho red's potato salad!
Bright and early Saturday morning I started preparing the Casablanca for all the company that was coming to spend the weekend! I made some Jello molds in lime green, and blueberry...
Eventually the snacks just weren't cutting it so we all went out to the gravel pit to light a fire and get dinner started!
I'm not sure if it was the heat of the moment, but they did a little tribal fire dancing!
After birthday wishes were exchanged we all sat around the fire chatting for a while telling jokes and stories.
Sunday morning we slept in, before breakfast Wes, Patricia and I cleaned up from Saturday nights get together. I can also simi-proudly say that our little group of nine people were provably the ONLY ones at Lake Diversion who were sober! We swam some more, then went back to the house to make lunch Patricia made grilled cheese sandwiches.
Monday morning we got up and tried to make waffles in the new 1954 waffle iron... key words in this sentence is tried! Here's a picture of before, we've just mixed the batter and I'm about to put it in the iron.
Well a little voice in my head said "You should provably put some cooking oil on the iron first...." NAW...

Samsung announces commitment to producing eco-friendly products and cutting greenhouse gas emissions
Electronics manufacturer Samsung has launched a new green management initiative with the intention of becoming one of the leading eco-friendly companies in the world by 2013.
The new initiative will ensure all of Samsung's products exceed global standards of eco-friendliness and that the company reduces its greenhouse gas emissions.
Yoon-Woo Lee, Samsung Electronics' vice chairman and CEO commented: "As a leading global technology company, Samsung Electronics has always taken our environmental responsibilities very seriously, but today we are committing to becoming a truly green enterprise that places eco-management at the very heart of our business decision-making and growth,
"This eco-management initiative will encompass all of our global operations, supply chain, and the complete lifecycle of Samsung products, and by achieving these goals we aim to lead the way in tackling the environmental problems that are facing our planet," he added.
Samsung is currently ranked second on environmental pressure group Greenpeace's Guide to Greener Electronics, based on its commitment to cut emissions and use environmentally friendly materials.
The new initiative includes four main objectives, including cutting greenhouse gas emissions from manufacturing by 50% and total indirect emissions from all products by 84 million tons by 2013; ensuring all products exceed global eco-mark standards; investing 5.4 trillion Korean Won ($4.3 billion) in eco-management initiatives and enhancing green partnerships with suppliers and partners.
Samsung's N120 notebook was also recently announced as the first ever notebook to achieve the TCO 3.0 certification.
The certification relates to the use of non-hazardous materials and ergonomic efficiency. The N120 met the standards through being free of mercury and other hazardous materials and through having a low energy consumption through the use of an LED backlit display and Intel Atom processor.
Madhav Narayan, general manager, IT division, Samsung Gulf Electronics said: "We are proud that the N120 is the first notebook to achieve TCO 3.0 certification, as it visibly demonstrates just how safe and user friendly our products are. Protecting the environment is one of our core values that we attach a lot of importance to, so we are constantly striving to develop our products to meet the high standards set by TCO. We are please to be able to offer our customers in the Middle East the option to purchase green technology products."

The Important Angelina News You Missed Today
Today, many of us were shocked by the news that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are divorcing. Obviously, the news has led to massive speculation about their relationship, but let's take a moment to remember that Angelina Jolie has a lot more going on than divorce. Jolie is a human rights activist, Special Envoy to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), a visiting professor at the London School of Economics, an actress, and a filmmaker in her own right. Although it's only natural for people to be focusing on the bombshell announcement that Jolie and Pitt are separating after more than a decade together, here's a taste of what's going on in the rest of Jolie's life:
After serving as a Goodwill Ambassador for the UNHCR (the UN agency that supports refugees) for more than 10 years, Jolie was appointed as a Special Envoy for the UNHCR in 2012. (UN Dispatch points out that, in this role, Jolie is not a celebrity spokesperson; she is a "full fledged diplomat.") As Special Envoy, she has gone on more than 15 field missions in support of refugees all over the world. Only this month, she spent three days in Jordan to meet with Syrian refugees and ask international leaders to end the conflict in Syria. "The gulf between our responsibilities and our actions has never been so wide," she remarked in a press statement on September 9.
In March, Jolie visited Lebanon and Greece to discuss how to handle the influx of refugees from countries including Syria, Afghanistan, and Somalia. She told People, "We need to get on top of this chaotic situation, working to end the conflicts that are creating refugees and ensuring that countries like Greece and Turkey have the means to identify and assist people with a genuine claim for asylum and take the necessary steps urgently to improve their asylum systems."
Jolie has also taken on the title of "Visiting Professor." In May, she joined the London School of Economics to co-teach a master's program on "women, peace and security," alongside former British foreign secretary, William Hague. "[I]t is vital that we broaden the discussion on how to advance women's rights and end impunity for crimes that disproportionately affect women, such as sexual violence in conflict," Jolie said in a statement (via People).
Amid her work as a humanitarian and educator, Jolie continues to be involved in the film industry. Although she seems to be taking fewer acting roles, she has recently wrapped up directing her fifth film, First They Killed My Father: A Daughter of Cambodia, for which she also co-wrote the script. The film, to be released on Netflix in the fall of 2016, is based on a memoir of the same title by Loung Ung. In the book, Ung recounts growing up as a child soldier in Cambodia under the Khmer Rouge.
Jolie clearly has a lot to keep her busy in the coming months. Although a divorce is always a painful, stressful time, I think it's safe to assume that Angelina Jolie still has many great things ahead of her.

A Murdered Madam -
In the 1920s-30s, these now respectable homes on Winchester Street just east of Metcalfe used to be a house of prostitution. It is also said that the madam was shot and killed by a client. Her murder was never solved but it is suspected that blackmail may have been a factor.

Panic in Progressive Park
Well, considering their previous attempts (The Coffee Party; the Brownbaggers (who I never even heard of until today)), and similar attempts that crashed and burned on the launch pad, my answer would be, "Not likely" (h/t: Insty)….
Can liberals start their own tea party?
"We think we can do what the tea party did," [Van] Jones said in an interview with The Fix. "They stepped forward under a common banner, and everybody took them seriously. Polls suggest there are more people out there who have a different view of the economy, but who have not stepped forward yet under a common banner."
Jones is a former Obama environmental adviser who resigned from the White House in 2009 amid controversy over his past activism. But he's lauded in liberal circles for his charisma and organizing abilities.
"There's a lot of organizational muscle behind the initiative, and Van is one of the most inspiring ["we call d bro a SEXY"] figures in the progressive movement, so I'm looking forward to these efforts, and they certainly come at a time when Republican overreach has primed progressives to take action" said Markos Moulitas, founder of the liberal blog network Daily Kos.
The Tea Party movement was an organic, grass-roots explosion of disparate citizens united in the belief that the Federal government was running amok. There is no central organization coordinating the numerous Tea Party groups across the country (despite what outfits like FreedomWorks think).
That Jones, Markos and MoveOn.org believe they can top-down construct a similar movement smacks of desperation. Hell, Markos's Kos Kids and their fellow lefties are in something of a funk right now, according to reports following this year's Nutroots Nation confab:
President Obama has to do more than just keep up with the Republicans to secure his reelection in 2012. He's got to work his base.
But that could be a problem if the sentiment at this weekend's Netroots Nation in Minneapolis is at all widespread. The conference, an annual gathering of progressive bloggers and online citizens, was packed with activists who are disappointed, disenchanted and disillusioned with the Obama administration.
The truth is the coalition that put Obama in the White House is falling apart. The 2010 mid-terms saw independent voters abandon the Democrat party, leading to a nation-wide Republican stampede on both the Federal and state levels. The unions are starting to think that their full-throated (and funded) support for Teh One hasn't paid off as they expected:
"He's basically trying to be everything to everybody," said Rose Ann DeMoro, executive director of National Nurses United, a nursing union that claims 160,000 members and is an affiliate of the AFL-CIO. "Until you look at the policies, and then it's clear he's there for the corporate sector."
The union arranged a protest this month when Obama addressed the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, accusing him of cozying up to big businesses.
Officials from another AFL-CIO affiliate, the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, said that tens of thousands of its members have been laid off and that they don't see the White House advocating for them.
"They may be lost to the Democratic cause," said Rick Sloan, a spokesman for the union.
John Gage, president of the American Federation of Government Employees, said he "resented" the president's recent calls to reorganize the government and freeze salaries because they seemed to feed into a growing criticism of workers. Pointing to Obama's defense this week of Wisconsin public workers, Gage said, "It's about time."
The tensions underscore a careful political balance faced by Obama, who has frustrated many unions leaders and activists after courting their support in his 2008 campaign.
Add the LGBT community to the list of Obama-backers who are starting to realize they were sold a bill of goods and, well, you see the problem the Professional Left™ faces going into the 2012 general election facing a swelling number of people who would vote for a bag of hammers in order to get Barry out of the Oval Office.
So this scheme seems to be more about trying to keep the base together than anything else.

text: woodward 23 Report post Posted August 5, 2009 (edited) I found if you work on a GMS:FEMWATER project for some time, changing bcs and materials, GMS does not throw out the old XY1 series (mostly boundary condition values and unsaturated material properties). So you get a 3bc file with many XY1 series, many of them redundant, and particularly the ids of those series start to get large. When the XY1 id values exceed 250 FEMWATER reports an array bound error. It would be good if there was some way in GMS to renumber the XY1 series and throw out the old ones.PS: I managed to do a workaround by deleting the 3bc file then restarting GMS. I may have deleted the materials and Simulation too (I don't remember). So I had to reenter the material properties and simulation options, but GMS did regenerate the 3bc file without all the old XY1 series/series numbers.

PARTICK THISTLE launched a new home kit today as their new mascot Kingsley drew the crowds in Glasgow's George Square and had the kids running for cover.
The David Shrigley designed character, who caused a social media meltdown when he was launched last week , was let loose on the city's streets as the Maryhill side paraded the kit they will wear in next season's Scottish Premiership.
Kingsley, who was produced as part of a six-figure shirt sponsorship deal with California-based investment advisory firm, Kingsford Capital Management, ended up trending worldwide on Twitter after being revealed and has been described as
Jags stars Kris Doolan, Ryan Stevenson, Dan Seabourne and new signing, goalkeeper Tomas Cerny were accompanied by the mascot dubbed 'the most terrifying ever' as the Maryhill signed unveiled their new hooped design strip.
Whether the kit receives the same worldwide attention as Kingsley remains to be seen but there is no doubt that the Jags mascot knows how to please the crowds after today's performance.

According to The Sun newspaper, Emmerdale's Victoria Barton, played by Isabel Hodgins, is to be shockingly raped on a 'big night out' with fellow villagers.
In another of Emmerdale's special 'flashback' specials, viewers will see Victoria Barton brutally attacked after heading to town for a village night out. The evening takes a dark turn, as it also sees paedophile Maya Stepney finally exposed and another character shockingly stabbed.
The Sun revealed: "They've got a gritty storyline around a big night out where loads of the ladies go clubbing. Paedo Maya will finally be outed. But the bombshell is Victoria will get raped in a horror twist that will send her down a dark path.
"The night also sees a stabbing. There will be blood and violence to grip the Dales as they go dark to compete with their soap rivals."
Among others on the night out will be Maya's partner and Jacob's step-dad David Metcalfe (Matthew Wolfenden) and Ellis Chapman (Asan N'Jie), Victoria's love interest.
As the spoiler spread across social media, fans were shocked to hear that another character was going to be the victim of a sexual assault, which seems to be becoming a regular occurrence on Emmerdale.
Since 2015, each year sees another character either be sexually assaulted or admit to being the victim of a historical sexual assault.
And in true soap style, could this horrific attack result in the baby that Victoria has always wanted?
Victoria and husband Adam Barton, played by Adam Thomas, were devastated to learn Adam was infertile, which eventually caused them to split before Adam went on the run.
Since then, Victoria became somewhat obsessed with Rebecca White's baby – her nephew Seb – and more recently had a pregnancy scare with on-off boyfriend Ellis Grant.
Could producers be lining up the most vile dilemma for Victoria? How much would she still want a baby if it was conceived in devastating circumstances?
Speaking of the reasons behind the plot, The Sun reporter added: "With Kate Oates now at EastEnders, Emmerdale producers are worried that she's going to take over the soap crown."
When interviewed about the new flashback specials due to air later this month, current co-producer Kate Brooks previously told The Irish Sun: "We've got some really brilliant stuff coming up in April, May time. A big night out, which we will tell in a very interesting, fresh way. That's really good.
"It's a night out for some of our characters, and we'll find out a week later what's gone on in that night out in a series of flashbacks.
"Ostensibly it's, 'Hey, Emmerdale are out having fun in a club', but then it will be revealed that it will change some of our characters' lives for good. There's a lot of drama involved in that night, and because we're Emmerdale, we're telling it in a kind of different way."
Further official spoilers are released on Tuesday 16th April so check back for more information as it is revealed.

Cross Post from The New York Times
Afghanistan is in turmoil, with tensions rising and people dying every day. Many of them — including women, children and the elderly — have nothing in common with terrorists or militants.
The government is losing control of its territory: of the 34 provinces, the Taliban controls a dozen. The production and export of narcotics is growing. There is a real danger of destabilization extending to neighboring countries, including the republics of Central Asia as well as Pakistan.
What began after Sept. 11, 2001, as a seemingly appropriate military response aimed at rooting out terrorism could end in a major strategic failure.

Since I last made an entry here - eleven days ago, which is, I know, remiss - so much has been going on, with my birthday right in the middle.
The aftermath of the Scottish Style Awards was one very unstylish bump on the head when I took a box of the top of a cupboard and a roll of steel-reinforced kevlar fell from it. The edge caught me and I ended up scuffed:
Fortunately, it healed rapidly and I could get to work again. Most of the time has been spent working on my commission from Poppy Porter for a piece of jewellery based on the song "Futurism" by Muse, which you can read about in my previous blog post here. I finally finished this commission this week and I'm very pleased with it.
More importantly, Poppy is pleased with it!
As last Saturday saw my birthday, I went through to Edinburgh to a @scotstreetstyle event at Harvey Nichols in Edinburgh, run by the man behind "ScotStreetStyle", Gordon.
I met him indirectly through the Scottish Style Awards and as I mentioned in my last post, we met up a couple of weeks ago to discuss Scottish fashion, style, humour and politics. The Harvey Nichols event was more of a social for the "Movember" charity but also a networking meeting and it was good to be able to connect with some of the other people who are making and shaking Scottish street culture; it was also delightful to be able to say that the people who are making and shaking Scottish street culture is broadly mixed in age and that as I was celebrating my 49th birthday, I was NOT the oldest person there!
As you would expect at a "Movember" event, there was a lot of facial hair and it was touching to see that even the chic women got in on the act:
Kirstin modelling a paper moustache, earlier in the week.
My friend, Simon, was there, looking out for interesting people to photograph:
And I met another guy who uses Voigtländer legacy lenses on Micro-FourThirds Cameras!
The excellent Lewis of the Glasgow Beard and Moustache club, of which I will soon be a member. (Gary, to his left, is not laughing at a suit jacket, rather at someone small who is obscured by the jacket and being photographed by Lewis.)
After this, I headed off with my friends Mark and Jeff to my favourite Malaysian restaurant in Edinburgh, Kampung Ali where Mark drank "bubble tea" for the first time!
He also pointed out this bad graphic on the way:
Now, I know it is meant to be "cute" but to me - and Mark - this just looks like Santa's head melted!
This week has ben workshop week for the students and they've been making loads of great things. I will post pictures the week after next when their Christmas sale opens in the college. Although this should be a time when I can get a bit of time at the bench, they've been super-busy this year and I've not managed to get much done, about which I cannot complain.
Now that "Futurism" has finished, I can move down the list and find that the next project to complete is one of those which I started and abandoned and which I determined in August I would complete before allowing myself the luxury of starting completely new projects, my fantasy piece which imagines what might have happened if Chanel had designed costumes for Maria in Fritz Lang's "Metropolis"...
Taking on board Chanel's 1932 fine-jewellery collection - which featured many pieces which could be reconfigured into different types of jewellery - as well as the themes of decadence, robotics and the occult from the film, I decided to re-invent the "sautoir" necklace:
This uses some cog-type elements I found during my 2012 visit to Pittsburgh, as well as - naturally - sewing-machine needles. I am especially pleased with the brooch-pendant element:
Set with a very oddly-coloured amethyst and deep raspberry-pink spinels.
The piece will re-configure in many different ways and still has to have one more chain and a pair of earclips added.

Mass. bishops release statement opposing ROE Act
Courtesy graphic
Help us expand our reach! Please share this article
BRAINTREE -- The bishops of the four dioceses of Massachusetts released a statement April 12 to express their opposition to proposed legislation that would expand abortion in the commonwealth.
The statement was signed by Cardinal Seán O'Malley of Boston, Worcester Bishop Robert McManus, Springfield Bishop Mitchell Rozanski, and Fall River Bishop Edgar da Cunha.
Jim Driscoll, executive director of the Massachusetts Catholic Conference, said the statement will be distributed "as widely as possible."
"We want to get the message out to as many people that we possibly can about the dangers of these two bills," he said, speaking to the Pilot on April 11.
Two identical bills have been filed for the consideration of the Massachusetts State Legislature: House Bill 3320, "An Act removing obstacles and expanding access to women's reproductive health," and Senate Bill 1209, "An Act to remove obstacles and expand abortion access." These two bills share the same acronym, ROE, which was the pseudonym used by the plaintiff of Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court case that ended with the decision to legalize abortion in the United States.
"The supporters of these bills argue the proposed changes to Massachusetts law are simply intended to protect a woman's right to an abortion in the event the United States Supreme Court overturns the 1973 decision in the case of Roe v. Wade. However, in reality, these bills would create a significant expansion of current Massachusetts state law," the bishops said in their statement.
The bishops go on to outline how the bills would change Massachusetts law. ROE Act would allow abortions at any point during pregnancy and provide state funding for women who cannot afford to pay for an abortion. It would also eliminate several current requirements: that late-term abortions must take place in a hospital, that a child who survives an attempted abortion must receive medical care, and that a minor must have parental or judicial consent to undergo an abortion.
"In order to understand the serious moral questions raised concerning the protection of human life, the specific wording of the bills must be examined closely," the bishops' statement read.
As an example, they examined the language used in a section that says a physician may perform abortions for a variety of loosely defined reasons, such as "mental health" or "familial" factors.
"If you take a look at the two bills, they're very much like what New York State just passed in January in their extreme measures that basically, if passed as written, would create a state in which we would have abortion on demand, because of all the reasons a woman would qualify to get an abortion at any stage in her pregnancy," Driscoll said.
In closing, the bishops said they "call on our elected officials to carefully consider the consequences that these bills would bring" and "urge all people of good will, regardless of what faith they practice, to vigorously oppose these extreme measures."

You have no items in your cart. Want to get some nice things?Go shopping
This month in Litro #149 we explore the notion of what Love – means to us. Love, we spend our lives craving it in one form or another, searching for it, and talking about it. Its meaning is felt more than it is clearly expressed. Some call it the greatest virtue.
The rapper KRS-One said: "That word love is very very serious. Very addictive."
Love. You can be in it or out of it. You may feel you can't live without it. You might feel it for yourself, your friends, your pet, your apartment, you're partner.
In this issue we try to capture some of the questions Love asks of us: What is love? When do you feel love, and how? How do you cope with Love' highs and lows?
Our cover art is by Taiwanese, Brooklyn based fine art photographer Hsin Wang. Hsin's images our beautiful even in the sadness and melancholy the images portray. She uses photography as a form of therapy to discover her hidden feelings about relationships— "De-selfing" her latest Series- inspired after the break up of a six year relationship incorporates everyday objects to create her unique metaphoric and symbolic images. Its no wonder New York Times featured her work recently. Read her interview on page 43.
We open the issue with Nicolas Ridley's Love by The Month, two couples search for rekindled love -over a valentines meal takes a rather unexpected turn- revealing the bed swapping habits of Belsize Park.
Men are hunters by nature. Men are the ones that lead the romance dance, in Ian Manley's, A Mouldy Proposal a young man uses a novel way to get the attention of a love interest on his daily bus commute.
Toby Willamson's, The Love Map is a piece of flash fiction exploring love & desire through a navigational chart.
Holiday Romances, we've all had one—Tracey Iceton gives a two sided tale of a holiday romance—with Water Love.
A professor leaves a trail of broken hearts in Annie Dawid's, What Happens to Smart Women.
Stay by Cheryl Powell is a story of love gone wrong; or love gone too right. It captures that still point of a fleeting moment .
In Annie Brechin's Essay, Dating in Dubai we find how the middle Eastern country deals with love – especially one amongst the younger generation often outside marriage – given Dubai's constant reinvention and attempts to attract the worlds attention/visitors: world's tallest tower A fountain you see from outer-space, the 12.1 miillion square feet shopping mall- with such a large expat community – Dubai defies normal expectations – the islands, 7* hotel – richest race track, so how does it deal with Love outside marriage?
We come back to London with an essay, from Tim Cooke, The Black Path– a look at love between friends.
We close the issue with an interview with Douglas Kennedy who sits down with Litro's interviews editor Mia Funk to talk about Love, relationships and more.

'Arrow': First Look At Wild Dog's New Costume
Arrow returned with a bang tonight - and it also debuted a new costume for one of the show's heroes.
Spoilers for tonight's episode of Arrow, 'Fallout', below!
In the opening moments of tonight's episode, Oliver Queen/Green Arrow (Stephen Amell) was seen dealing with criminals on a barge. But he wasn't alone, as several members of Team Arrow fought alongside him - including Rene Ramirez/Wild Dog (Rick Gonzalez).
To some fans' surprise, Wild Dog has gotten an upgrade from his mask and jersey, to a costume that you can check out in the photo above.
This costume essentially takes Wild Dog into uncharted territory, as he's almost always seen in his jersey costume seen in the pages of DC Comics. But it does fit more in line with the stylized costumes of Team Arrow - and signify a sort of "new normal" for the team.
Earlier this year, Gonzalez spoke with ComicBook.com about what he hopes for Wild Dog in the upcoming season.0comments
"What I'm hopeful for is the trajectory of what was established in five in terms of my character and hopefully seeing payoffs and establishing it more in a stronger way." Gonzalez explained. "Because we've all established Renee as a father, someone who lost things tragically, so if he's a father then maybe he can be a dad again, ya know. Maybe he can be whole again as a person because this team is saving his life, so I can hope for that and that's what I'm hoping to see for him."
Arrow airs on Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET/PT following new episodes of Supernatural.

More iPhones are Sold at AT&T and Verizon retail Stores than Android Phones 🍎🍎🍎🍎 🌐 ☎☎☎☎
☎ Apple in June Surpasses Android in Adoption Rate, for the First Time. RESTON, VA, August 7, 2013 – comScore, Inc. (NASDAQ: SCOR), a leader in measuring the digital world, today released data from the comScore MobiLens service, reporting key trends in the U.S. smartphone industry during the three month average period ending June 2013.
☎ Apple ranked as the top smartphone manufacturer with 40.0% OEM market share, using comScore's Survey Data. Looking at Carrier actual Activations for the US market, Apple ranks at 42.5% market share. Notice that the extrapolated data by comScore's surveys understated Apple's market share significantly by 2.5%.
☎ The Big news for Apple, is Android's Installed Base is showing a defined TOP that occurred in December, 2012, where during the subsequent 6 months, Android's installed user base is continuing to drop. Looking at these statistics in January and February, it was not clear that a Top occurred; However, with Three More months of data, Looking at 6 months of data, it is apparent that Android user Base is shrinking and apparently migrating towards Apple's iPhone. Other statistics indicate that 26% of Android users are defecting to the iPhone, and conversely, iPhone has a 95% Loyalty rate.
☎ Looking AT&T and Verizon actual Activations, More iPhones are Sold at AT&T and Verizon retail Stores than Android Phones. Quarter over Quarter, the change towards the iPhone is quite pronounced. These Activation statistics are the Real Test, as there is no extrapolation, simply hard facts.
☎ Non-Smart-Phone Users have dropped from about 200 million units to below 100 Million users in the three year period ending June, 2013.
☎ Extrapolated Data vs. Quarterly Carrier Activations. ComScore's figures are based on sizable statistical surveys. The survey data is then extrapolated with a variety of mathematical algorithms and adjustments. Having graduated with a degree in Bio Chemistry, the Degree was supported by a bunch of Theoretical and Statistical Math. Years later, one thing I can remember, once several MBA Analysts, in their early 30's get together, heaven only knows what the results will look like, once they are finished "extrapolating the soup."
☎ Conclusion. A word of advice, don't become too agitated, one way or the other, with extrapolated data from surveys. The Analysis are capable of making the data look the way they want it to look, with certain limitations. Survey data is valuable, but the results should not be taken as a mathematical certainty, particularly with a single data-point. ComScore's charts are meaningful in noticing "Trend-Lines" comparing many months or years of data, visually on graphs is best, paying attention to changes in direction.

horse nap is like a cat nap ~ it's all about sleeping
Being a life long fan of the horse ~ one of the questions I hear a lot when people observe the horses lying down is "are they sick?" There seems to be so much confusion about horses and sleep that I thought (for the record) I would just call out the excerpt from wikipedia below:
Unlike humans, horses do not need a solid, unbroken period of sleep time. They obtain needed sleep by means of many short periods of rest. This is to be expected of a prey animal, one that needs to be ready on a moment's notice to flee from predators. Horses may spend anywhere from four to fifteen hours a day in standing rest, and from a few minutes to several hours lying down. However, not all this time is the horse actually asleep; total sleep time in a day may range from several minutes to a couple of hours.[11] Horses require approximately two and a half hours of sleep, on average, in a 24-hour period. Most of this sleep occurs in many short intervals of about 15 minutes each. Horses need to lie down occasionally, and prefer soft ground for a nap.
Horses must lie down to reach REM sleep. They only have to lie down for an hour or two every few days to meet their minimum REM sleep requirements. However, if a horse is never allowed to lie down, after several days it will become sleep-deprived, and in rare cases may suddenly collapse as it involuntarily slips into REM sleep while still standing. This condition differs from narcolepsy, though horses may also suffer from that disorder.

- 2004 one of the worlds great computer companies leading share in personal computer and server business.
- 2004 Dell's revenues grew from 6 to 41billion and over 2% on global market share when computer makers lost money due to slumping global demand for Pcs.
- 1/3 sales US
- Cost structure is lowest in the industry= dells global manufacturing and supply chain management strategy
- Brazil, Ireland, Malaysia, china, US. Low labor cost, high productivity of local workforce, proximity to important regional markets to reduce shipping costs and time.
- Dell costumer support operations: Bangalore, India, low wage rates, and availability of educated English speaking. Difference in culture US/India -> complains, move some operations to US.
- Supply Base: 200 Global suppliers. 50% China.
Business Model: direct selling, no wholesalers or retailers.
- 2004 85% of sales made online: ability to customize and get the system that best suits costumers.
- Low price and customizing: winning in costumers
Power of business model:
Managing global supply chain to minimize inventory, while giving through Internet real-time information about order flow to suppliers.
- Suppliers get online demand trends for the components to produce, and get the volume expectation for next 4-12 weeks, updated every day.
- Produce the right quantity of components, with perfect time of delivery for production.
To use a digital chip from Texas Instruments they adjust to Quantas Taiwan schedule needs, they fix the notebooks computers, and these adjust to the schedule according to data from Dell
Goal: replace inventory by information, drive inventories out of supply chain apart from the ones in transit between suppliers and dell.
- 2004: 3 days of inventory compared to 30-40-90 days that competition had
-Advantage: components cost 75% of revenue and fall 1% per week because of technology innovation: component cost advantage and on the bottom line.
- Synchronize and balance demand and supply like few competitors can. Minimize excess and obsolete inventory (0.05% in Dell, 3% in competitors)
- Ex: if they are running out of 17-inch Sony monitors, they'll offer a lower price on 19 inch until they get more inventory.
1) What are the advantages to Dell of having manufacturing sites located where they are? And what are the potential disadvantages?
- Advantages low cost (Brazil, China, Malaysia and, relatively, Ireland), they have educated work forces that are highly productive, and they are near large regional markets.
- Potential disadvantages quality control, sensitivity to international shocks.
2) Why does dell purchase most of the components that go into PC from independent suppliers, as opposed to making more itself?
- Outsourcing allows Dell to focus on what it does best. It enables Dell's business model to be successful.
- Dell's comparative advantage is in pricing, customization and rapid order fulfillment, gained through supply chain management and logistics.
- By outsourcing, Dell does not carry risks connected to inventory and can be highly flexible in the manufacturing process.
- Dell has lower coordination costs than if it were producing its own parts.
3) What are the consequences for Dell's cost structure and profitability of replacing inventories with information?
- Dell's Cost structure is the lowest in

Jimmy Choo Flash (2013): More Details {New Perfume}
Following our earlier announcement about the upcoming new women's perfume by Jimmy Choo, Flash, we received further information about it. Now they stress that the perfume is an "ultra-modern white floral" with a solar character. Perfumer Christine Nagel said "I created FLASH for the self-confident, urban Jimmy Choo woman: sexy, rebellious and sophisticated. I imagined the sound of her heels, clicking on the streets of New York, London and Paris"...
The brand evoke the clubbing scene and the rush of adrenaline experienced when partying.
"The fragrance opens with pink pepper, tangerine and strawberry, for a fresh, sparkling introduction. As these glittering top notes evaporate, heart notes of strong, exotic white flowers, with a tuberose signature enriched with notes of jasmine and white lily, reveal a heady, sexy character. A base of white, powdery woods gives a lasting impression that is both seductive and sensual, but never too much.
Nose Christine Nagel also commented that, "As a brand, Jimmy Choo is so resolutely feminine that the perfume had to have a sensual background. I used white woods, a contemporary note that gives a feminine, sophisticated touch, but maintains luminosity."
The new Jimmy Choo perfume, their second original composition to date after Jimmy Choo, seems to propose a very contemporary version of hedonism and high-octane lifestyle. Let's see how it smells like.

Elliott Rayne and Joe Taylor – founders of EJ Events and previous MFG students – came in to Mirfield College this week to share their inspiring journey towards becoming the next big thing in the event planning industry.
After deciding to work together on a business concept, they co-founded EJ Events back in October 2018 at just 19 years old. The concept? A high-end events management company offering the ultimate luxury through bespoke events such as birthdays, proms, corporate events and everything in between. They promise to provide a premium exclusive experience bringing "End to End Elegance" to bars and establishments across Yorkshire.
The entrepreneurial duo came to speak to our Business students to share how they started their journey, but also to ask for their skills. The EJ team are young – some of the youngest in the industry. As they grow themselves, they're keen to bring young, ambitious professionals along with them. "Some people may question our ability or our age but this is our unique selling point. It keeps things fresh. We can offer talent and quality at competitive prices, making us stand out from the crowd. " And they're true to their word, with MFG student Sam Teale who has worked closely with Mirfield College being their lead videographer as well as various other young professionals.
So where are they going? "We have big plans to expand" says Elliott. They're busy planning for the upcoming Tour de Yorkshire event and will be running the management of the Cookridge Fan Zone. They're working with clubs and bars in West Yorkshire to set up their own club night and may or may not have given our students a bit of insider knowledge as to where but we can't tell! Alongside all of this, they'll be mentoring Yorkshire's young entrepreneurs as well as infiltrating markets overseas. We're excited to see where the duo go and wish them all the luck for their future.
