What is Balayage?
Balayage is a modern freehand technique used to produce natural sun-kissed looking hair colour. It is low maintenance and is flattering on most hair lengths. Hair grows out beautifully and more naturally, and you can wear it for longer between appointments.
Capelli Salon hair professionals are all trained and experienced on this popular technique.

- Wow...can't believe how wonderful my hair looks and feels after my treatment/cut with David...YOU ROCK! I will be back 🙂Danielle V.
- I have to say that David is nothing short of a hair genius. Never have I had such a great cut! I have gone to this salon twice now and both cuts have been phenomenal. David really loves what he does and takes the time to ensure a perfect cut. This is a hair salon with a high end look and experience but the vibe in there is not at all pretentious. Both times I have gone David and his wife are there. They are so kind you almost feel like they are family. You still get the upscale salon experience. Head and neck massage with your shampoo and they will offer you a hot beverage including hot chocolate! I am in my 30s with long thick hair. I have had some great stylists before but David is the best by far.Krystl C.
- I am very picky about getting my hair done. I have only ever liked one stylist before meeting David. This salon is very close to home so I tried it out just for the sake of convenience. David is AMAZING! He is a hair genius! This is the most satisfied I have been from a cut ever! I will go back for sure. Give yourself some time for the appointment he takes his time to ensure that everything is perfect. Literally he will give you a perfect cut. I have long thick wavy hair. He taught me where to part my hair and found the ideal length for me to keep my hair. Very satisfied.Crystl Beretanos

Cave of Chaos 11-20
For some reason, the first 2 times i tried to join this something goes wrong and I end up missing it (first being crazy people, second being I got errored or sumthin). For the last run today, I thought I'd like to know what to watch out for.
As far as I know, during the 5 minutes in my first attempt, there were "Dark Missiles" and people off my screen died somehow .__.;
Any advice from those who did it already? (if a vid exists, I'd very much appreciate a link ^^)
So, its called dark missle. Bears the same characteristic as reaver's bomb. I've only done this once due to getting error for 3 times in a row.
The only advice you can ever get is : Let endless the hell outta of this.
Some of the dark missiles are invisible apparently :x
There's also stalactites and ordeal room too. The boss is this lion thing from myth 1 and isn't much of a hassle to kill (he's kinda slow and anywhere but near his front=safe).
Great... invisible nukes of doom D:
Lion boss eh? If anything like the original, he's probably not too hard.
for the missles:
tell the eir to plant a moon barrier like the distance of 1 dash away from the top wall (or bottom) and in the in the middle (in other words, near top mid) and then everyone can stand in top mid, or bottom mid if the eir planted it 1-dash's distance away from the bottom
sorry if it sounds confusing, tell me if it is =x
oh and endless pot doesnt always cause the missle makes u auto-getup
So yeah, i know what you are talking about in regards to the missiles. We only had one eir, so Jeneral told me to spawn babies and summon Pang Lime around when the missiles spawned so they'd absorb the shots (unless those ogres were having their way with me in the corner ._.; )
And also, the endless was flawless for me, because Lime's have a trait where it takes them longer to get up (even auto get up), so I didnt lose a single life on the run ^^. Too bad i didnt get anything good... well besides the 99 mil exp.
In conclusion, no moar CoC 11-20 unless i have endless pots <3
i'll try to make a video once i get more practice
easier said than done, but:
for the missiles, go to the middle of the room when the timer hits 0, since they come from the sides
i find it easier to dodge when i'm near the middle of the room
oh, for the ordeal room, left side is best for dodging in my experience
I got so much exp.
I fcking love this raid.
Good thing I don't even myth either cause I had like 50 endless sitting in my inventory from all the support packages I opened lol
here i made a video on how to dodge the missles
you see how the wiz went down afterwards? he shoulda waited 2 more seconds before walking down cause some missles get there slower. he didnt get hit anyway so its okay
so moon barrier in center, then head up, eh? That's good to know! thanks ^^
Oh btw, do the raid items no longer come already dimlied? I noticed the items we got were normal, and the Cave of Chaos 1-10 items were also un-dimlied... If this is true, it truly stinks because I've lost so many items because dimly success is so fail for me D:
i dont know about getting normal in cave of chaos... i thought all God items were dimlied
They still might be. I saw the items by putting my cursor over them when they opened their boxes. I'm not sure if they showed the dimly stats or not when viewed that way, but they had no dimly stats. I'm too unlucky to actually win anything or get a box from the chaos box to check myself >.>
i got like three items
they were dimlied
Edit : I think sieg's mdef and krieg's party mdef could have worked too.
I tried using it, but the shots still killed me and I didn't see any elements popping up when it happened.
Scratch that, guess it just wore off when it the missiles hit me.
I just go in the center of the room and hold S. Tell everyone to go down or something.
ALSO this raid is very fun i look forward to beating it wtihout endless
these missiles u talk of... hopes ryan's invinci can tank them all :D
So does anyone knows how to avoid the seemingly bug in floor 20?
The rocks appear immediately as if we are in the rock ordeal. What trigger that? PS : I still think citadel is much harder `-`

This application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/800,046 filed Mar. 5, 2001 entitled Method, System and Facility for Controlling Resource Allocation within a Manufacturing Environment filed by Branden Clark Bickley et al., now U.S. Pat. No. 6,615,092.
The present disclosure generally relates to manufacturing and, more particularly to a method, system and facility for controlling resource allocation within a manufacturing environment.
Many years ago, manufacturers learned that, when building sufficiently large quantities of identical products, assembly lines could be used to increase the rate of production and decrease the per-unit production costs. In an assembly line, the assembly process is divided in a series of processing steps through which the work-in-process moves to result in the end product. These steps may be optimized, and once the manufacturing system becomes operational it will build a number of products with the same configuration using the optimized steps.
Assembly lines are typically used in a build-to-stock production model, where large quantities of identical products are manufactured in anticipation of forecasted demand. The manufactured products are then warehoused until that demand is realized. Build-to-stock manufacturing systems are therefore primarily suited to markets in which manufacturers can accurately predict customer demand.
In many markets, however, predicting customer demand is risky, at best. For example, in the market for computer systems and related items, technological improvements are realized so frequently and component prices change so rapidly that it is difficult to accurately predict how large the market for any particular product will ultimately be. As a result, when manufacturers in industries like information technology utilize the build-to-stock model, those manufacturers frequently find themselves with stocks of manufactured goods that are difficult or impossible to market at a profit (i.e., with stale inventory).
A contrasting model of production that helps manufacturers avoid the stale-inventory problem is the build-to-order model. According to the build-to-order model, each product is assembled only after a customer has ordered that particular product. One of the disadvantages traditionally associated with the build-to-order model, however, is that more time is required to fill orders, in that products must be manufactured, not simply taken from stock. Another disadvantage is that build-to-order manufacturing systems are typically less efficient than build-to-stock manufacturing systems, which drives up the cost of products that are built to order. Accordingly, build-to-order systems have typically been utilized in markets for luxury items, such as tailored clothing, and markets in which a paucity of manufacturers leaves consumers with little choice but to bear the high prices and delays that are generally passed down by build-to-order manufacturers.
Some manufacturers have attempted to minimize the delays associated with the build-to-order model by maintaining a significant inventory of the materials required for production (e.g., the components that are assembled to create the finished goods). Simply carrying such an inventory, however, imposes costs on manufacturers, including the costs associated with warehousing the material. Furthermore, in markets where product innovations occur rapidly, such material oftentimes become stale.
For example, in contemporary times, the market for computer systems (including, without limitation, mini-computers, mainframe computers, personal computers, servers, work stations, portables, hand held systems, and other data processing systems) has been marked by high and increasing rates of product innovation. Further, to manufacture, for example, a typical personal computer, many different components are required, including a processor, memory, additional data storage (such as a hard disk drive), a number of peripheral devices that provide input and output (I/O) for the system, and adapter cards (such as video or sound cards) for communicating with the peripheral devices. Each of those components is also typically available in many different variations. In such markets, even if using the build-to-order model, manufacturers risk significant losses when carrying significant inventories of material.
Also, it is difficult to optimize build-to-order manufacturing facilities in terms of labor requirements and space requirements, as such facilities must be able to produce of a wide variety of products. However, in markets where many manufacturers are competing for customers, such as the computer system market, any reduction in production costs that does not decrease product quality is an important improvement.
Among the cost-saving measures that a producer may employ is to follow the direct-ship model, in which the manufacturer avoids middlemen such as distributors and retailers by accepting orders directly from and shipping products directly to customers. However, additional costs are borne by a manufacturer that provides a directs-ship option, in that the manufacturer must provide distribution facilities, in addition to providing the manufacturing facilities.
In accordance with teachings of the present disclosure, a method, system and facility are described for controlling resource allocation within a manufacturing environment. According to one aspect, a manufacturing facility employing dynamic allocation of resources for assembling and shipping computer based systems is disclosed. The facility includes a centralized information system communicatively coupled with selective portions of the manufacturing facility and operable to aggregate information associated with manufacturing computer systems. The facility further includes a work in process (WIP) profile associated with the selective portions of the facility and operable to provide information in substantially real-time to the centralized information system. The facility further includes at least one user interface displayed within a control center of the manufacturing facility and operable to enable allocation of resources within the selective portions of the manufacturing facility.
According to another aspect of the present disclosure, a system for providing a control center for a manufacturing facility is disclosed. The system includes a plurality of information sources operably associated with manufacturing products within the manufacturing facility. A user interface of the system displays selective information associated with portions of the manufacturing facility within a control center operable to manage production within the manufacturing facility. The system further includes a resource allocator operably coupled to the control center and the plurality of information sources and the resource allocator is operable to monitor work in process within the manufacturing facility.
According to a further aspect of the present disclosure, a method for controlling allocation of resources within a manufacturing facility is disclosed. The method includes determining a WIP profile associated with one or more areas within the manufacturing facility and accessing one or more databases to provide an aggregated information source to be displayed within a user interface of a control center. The method further includes determining available capacity based on shipping and scheduling information for the manufacturing facility and identifying an order release criteria limiting shipment of an order, the limiting associated with the WIP profile.
The present disclosure relates to a manufacturing facility that provides build-to-order products and direct shipment of products to customers. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to a manufacturing facility that is constructed and operated in such a manner as to enjoy numerous benefits, relative to prior art manufacturing facilities, including the benefit of reduced production costs. In addition, the present disclosure relates to systems and methods that may be utilized to advantage in a distribution facility, independent of the manufacturing process.
A more complete understanding of the present embodiments and advantages thereof may be acquired by referring to the following description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which like reference numbers indicate like features, and wherein:
Preferred embodiments and their advantages are best understood by reference to
During production, the manufacturer receives one or more customer orders from a business unit and orders components from suppliers needed to manufacture the products for those orders and articles and packaging (such as boxes and protective inserts) needed to fill the orders. Preferably, to minimize the inventory carried in manufacturing facility 100, few if any components, articles, and packaging will be left over from previous production runs. Therefore, at the beginning of each production run, most or all of components 103, articles 112, and packages 111 for the orders in that run will be ordered from suppliers. Production runs may nevertheless overlap to some degree, in that the manufacturer need not wait until the last item for one run is shipped before ordering components for the next production run from suppliers.
Manufacturing facility 100 receives ordered components 103, articles 112, and packages 111 via assembly unit 101 in one region and a shipping unit 106 in another region (illustrated near the upper end of FIG. 1). Product components 103 are received in assembly unit 101 via docks in a first portion of the left wall of manufacturing facility 100. By contrast, packages 111 for assembled products enter assembly unit 101 through the lower portion of the right wall of manufacturing facility 100.
Manufacturing facility 100 may also receive products (e.g., computers) that were assembled at other facilities and delivered to manufacturing facility 100 to fill an order. Preferably, external products 113 are received into shipping unit 106, via docks in the second portion of left wall of left of manufacturing facility 100 as are ordered articles 112. Preferably, however, the receiving docks (not expressly shown) for ordered articles 112 are disposed between the docks for external products 113 and the docks for components 103, and articles 112 are temporarily stored in an article-staging area 107 at the lower edge of shipping unit 106 near assembly unit 101.
Once sufficient components 103 have been received, assembly unit 101 begins assembling components 103 into computers systems. Specifically, components 103 are kitted in a kitting facility 102, and the component kits are transported to a build facility 104 for assembly and configuration. Once assembled and configured, each product such as a computer system is transported to a boxing facility 105, where the product is packaged and a tracking label is applied to the packaged product. The finished products are then transported to shipping unit 106 via transport 116.
As illustrated in
For example, shipping unit 106 utilizes a shipping system (i.e., the equipment in shipping unit 106 and the related software) which receives each finished product from the assembly unit (as well as external products) and automatically determines whether the corresponding order is fillable (i.e., whether all items in the order, including products and associated articles, are available for shipping). The shipping system also automatically determines whether each fillable order is shippable (i.e., whether there is a suitable carrier vehicle or shipping container present with available capacity to receive the items in the order). These automatic determination are made with reference to databases including WIP profiles that reflect the current state of the production environment. A control center may access the database or databases to identify which products are ready for shipment, which articles have been received, which carrier vehicles are present, and how much capacity those vehicles have available.
In the illustrative embodiment, shipping unit 106 includes a receiving scanner 117, which monitors a transport 116 that brings products from assembly unit 101 into shipping unit 106. As each product passes by receiving scanner 117, receiving scanner 117 reads a barcode on that product's tracking label, updates one or more databases to reflect the detected location of the scanned product, and triggers the automatic process for determining whether to release an order (i.e., whether to transport the items in the order to outgoing docks).
If the shipping system determines that an order is not fillable or not shippable, the shipping system automatically stores the products received for that order in automated storage and retrieval system (ASRS) 108. When it is determined that an order is fillable and shippable, the shipping system automatically updates the status of the order in one or more databases to flag the order as having been released and automatically conveys the ordered items to a parcel unit 110 for tendering to parcel carriers (for small orders) or to a less-than-trailer-load (LTL) unit 109 to be loaded onto pallets and then tendered to LTL carriers (for larger orders), as described in greater detail below.
As illustrated, products flow out of the LTL unit 109 through docks in an upper portion of right wall of manufacturing facility 100 and products flow out of parcel unit 110 through docks in the upper wall of manufacturing facility 100. Docks for outgoing items and docks for incoming material are thus distributed along the perimeter of the manufacturing facility according to a particular pattern that provides for increased material input and shipping output. Carriers face less traffic congestion when traveling to and positioning themselves at incoming and outgoing docks. A greater number of carrier vehicles can therefore be accommodated at one time, compared to prior art facilities. This improvement helps make it possible for the manufacturer support increased production levels and to provide customers with products in a timely manner while utilizing the just-in-time approach to procuring material. Further, the logistical advantages are provided with requiring an increase in the amount of space required to house manufacturing facility 100. The positioning of the docks also minimizes the amount of material movement required within manufacturing facility 100 and, in conjunction with the internal layout, provides for a work flow that is conducive to rapid production and space efficiency.
When an order is released, if products for that order are stored in ASRS 108, the shipping system will preferably automatically discharge those products from ASRS 108 (i.e., direct ASRS 108 to move the products from internal storage to distribution conveyor 116). After the order is released, shipping labels are also applied to the ordered products. Specifically, products from ASRS 108 and products coming directly from the external product docks and directly from assembly unit 101 are all transported through labeling stations (not expressly shown) for products on the way to LTL unit 109 or parcel unit 110. Moreover, the shipping labels for the assembled products are printed and applied in an area of manufacturing facility 100 that is separate from the area in which labels are printed for and applied to articles. For example, product shipping-label printers may be located in a central region of shipping unit 106, while the article-labeling stations may be located in article staging area 107 of shipping unit 106, adjacent to assembly unit 101.
Referring now to
Each transport for an associated production line 206 a, 206 b, 206 c, and 206 d is a multi-tiered transport system that includes several vertically displaced transport levels for transporting assembly kits to associated build cells within build facility 207. Each transport is distributively coupled to boxing facility 208 including plural boxing areas 208 a, 208 b, 208 c and 208 d for packaging assembled systems for shipping. Upon packaging the assembled products, each box is preferably transferred to shipping where associated items from SPAM (speaker, printer, advanced port replicators, monitors) unit 209 may be joined via a transport system (not expressly shown). Within SPAM unit 209, additional hardware such as speakers, printers, monitors, etc. are included with each packaged product.
Packaged products may be transported to either LTL unit 214, parcel shipping 217 or ASRS 211 depending on an order fill requirement or criteria for the associated produced product. For example, if an order has been filled and is to be shipped via an available LTL carrier, the completed product will be forwarded to one of the pallet areas 215 a, 215 b, 215 c, or 216 d for palletizing and subsequent shipping via an LTL carrier. In another embodiment, an order may be forwarded to parcel shipping area 217 for shipping orders to customers which may not require LTL carrier type transportation of product.
ASRS 211 provides temporary storage for assembled products until orders are filled for shipping and an order shipping criteria is met. ASRS 211 distributes products among several rows of shelves vertically displaced within ASRS 211 using first and second ASRS transports 212, 213 and a handler displaced within each row of ASRS 211. Each handler selectively places and removes packaged products within ASRS 211 based on shipping criteria and/or order fulfillment criteria for each stored/retrieved package. Each handler stores and retrieves packages based on the order fulfillment criteria and receives or places the packages on ASRS transports 212 and 213 accordingly. The products are then forwarded to LTL Unit 214 or parcel shipping 217 where the order is delivered to an appropriate customer.
In one embodiment, one or more products may be transferred from another facility to fill an order. For example, a product may be received via incoming parcel 210 and transferred to one of the units within manufacturing facility 200. Incoming parcel 210 may provide a completed product which may be stored within ASRS 211 until an order is complete or used to fill an order for shipping directly to a customer via LTL unit 214. As such, a package received via incoming parcel 210 may be automatically transferred to LTL unit 214, parcel shipping 217, or ASRS 211 based on an order fulfillment criteria for the completed product.

In a preferred embodiment, real-time acquisition of WIP profiles advantageously allow a control center for manufacturing facility 200 with access to information relating to the dynamically changing environment within manufacturing facility 200. For example, one or more pieces of equipment within boxing facility 208 may malfunction during operation and may be inoperable for a undeterminable time period. As such, a WIP profile for boxing area 208 may be accessed to determine the maximum throughput of boxing facility 208, and resources within build facility 207 and kitting 206 may be reallocated without overburdening boxing 208 and causing a bottleneck during production. In a similar manner, if one or more pieces of equipment malfunction in boxing area 208 a, the control center may automatically re-route product from build facility 202 to boxing area 208 b, 208 c and/or 208 d.
In one embodiment, WIP profiles for each area within manufacturing facility 200 may be used to pull product through manufacturing facility based on the availability of a carrier or available capacity for an incoming carrier. For example, an LTL carrier may schedule shipment of orders using the WIP profiles of production areas within manufacturing facility 200. Such product may be pulled through appropriate areas based on the scheduled availability of the carrier thereby increasing the overall flow of product through the manufacturing facility and subsequently to a carrier. In this manner, portions of an order may be stored throughout manufacturing facility 200 until a carrier is available to transport the product to a customer, thereby increasing the relative throughput of products through manufacturing facility 200 while minimizing inventory of products. Additionally, resources may be dynamically allocated to fill the order in real-time based on WIP profiles within manufacturing facility 200.
Control center 300 advantageously provides access to each information source through aggregating selective information 323 and communicating the selective information via interface 324 to create one or more sessions for efficiently managing production within a manufacturing facility. For example, a session A 319 may include a user interface for monitoring WIP profiles within a manufacturing facility and allocating resources based on WIP profiles for each area. Session B 320 may be used to access information relating to production and dock door scheduling. Session C 321 may be used for identifying and tracking equipment errors for equipment within each part of the facility. Additionally, Session D 322 may include a user interface for identifying and recovering from process errors that may occur within the manufacturing facility. Though illustrated as separate sessions, each session may be integrated with each other or may be provided within separate user interfaces using separate monitors centrally localized to create a control center for managing a manufacturing facility.
Through aggregating information for one or more sources, either internal or external to a manufacturing facility, dynamic allocation of resources within the manufacturing facility can be managed using centralized information system 301. For example, manufacturing facility 306 may include a WIP profile for ASRS area 311 which includes information relating to products stored within ASRS 311 for filling an order managed by order management source 303. As such, order management source 303 may determine when an order ship criteria has been fulfilled using the WIP profile associated with ASRS 311 and release an order upon an inbound carrier being available. In this manner, centralized information system 301 may provide a user interface for a user within a session such as session A 319 allowing a user to make decisions for allocating resources to ship products.
In another embodiment, one or more business units 302 may request orders based on a WIP profile for one or more areas within first and/or second manufacturing facility 306, 318. For example, incoming parcel 312 may include several products shipped from second manufacturing facility 318 to first manufacturing facility 306. One of the business units 302 may request additional products for an order and incoming parcel 312 may receive one or more of the requested products. As such, centralized information system 301 may aggregate information relating to the request and provide a user of system 301 WIP profile and scheduling information for filling the updated order. In this manner, resources for producing, scheduling, storing, transporting, etc. for a manufacturing facility may be dynamically allocated to fill each order based on WIP profiles associated with portions of the manufacturing facility.
In another embodiment, information system 301 may be used to identify process errors occurring within a manufacturing facility allowing a user of system 301 to re-allocate resources and expedite resolving issues for the problematic process. For example, a burn-in process may be causing errors for a particular product and not for another product being manufactured. As such, the problematic process may be identified by information system 301 and a user interface may be updated to identify the problem in real-time. As such, a user of control center 300 may re-route products and/or resources to another portion of the manufacturing facility to minimize the impact on production caused by the burn-in process.
Upon displaying a user interface, the method proceeds to provide real-time updates 404 for each user interface 405 through accessing one or more networks operable to provide real-time updates to data logs or databases representing changes within the manufacturing environment. For example, a problem may occur with one or more products for an order which was produced in a particular build cell of the manufacturing facility. However, several other products for the same order may not encounter such quality issues. As such, the satisfactory products may be packaged and forwarded to ASRS and stored while the products with problem(s) are held until the problem is resolved. Such a situation may provide a challenge for resources which have been allocated for filling an order. For example, a particular LTL carrier may have been scheduled to ship the completed order to a destination. With a portion of the order being held, the LTL carrier may not be able to meet the deadline. The method would determine if resources should be reallocated 407 and allow a user to access one or more areas having WIP profiles for similar product within the manufacturing facility and reallocate resources 408 within the facility so that the LTL carrier will not have to wait and the deadline will be met. The change in resource allocation may be updated within an appropriate database 409 and the method would update the user interface 404 accordingly.
In another embodiment, an LTL carrier which may be incoming to the manufacturing facility may have additional space for transporting products. As such, the control center may be able to access orders and resources 407 associated with products being manufactured within the manufacturing facility and pull product based on WIP to fill an order for the carrier thereby making efficient use of the additional space within the particular carrier and resources and/or product within the manufacturing facility.
At step 501 the method accesses one or more databases associated with a manufacturing facility and communicates the information 502 to a control center operable to display a control system 503 including a remote system monitor of resources within a manufacturing facility. In one embodiment, the remote monitoring system includes a graphical illustration of each piece of equipment within the manufacturing facility and an associated status log for the equipment. For example, the user interface may display if a piece of equipment is fully functional or if the equipment is inoperable. Other embodiments may include determining the throughput for a piece of equipment and/or determining an item being processed by a piece of equipment. For example, one or more logs or databases may be maintained for the piece of equipment thereby allowing the remote system to monitor activities associated with each piece of equipment.
Upon updating a user interface using real time acquisition of information 504 and updating a display 505 within the control center, the method proceeds to step 506 where the method detects a process or equipment error. If no errors are detected, the method proceeds to step 504 and repeats. If an error is detected, the method updates the remote monitoring system and alerts users 507 within the control center of the updated status.
For example, a visual indication on a user interface may be displayed and may include sending a page to one or more individuals alerting them of the altered status for the equipment or process. The method then proceeds to step 508 where the method determines if resources should be reallocated. If a simulation is not run, a user may reallocate resources 516 within the manufacturing facility. If a simulation of resource allocation is selected, the method proceeds to step 509 where information within selective areas of the manufacturing facility are acquired. For example, the method may determine availability of resources within another portion of the factory by accessing a WIP profile for each area within the factory. The simulator may then take the current volume scheduled for the inoperable section of the factory and schedule all or portions of the work load to one or more areas within the factory. For example, a particular area may have the capacity to output additional units prior to reaching full capacity. As such, the simulator may determine the available capacity for one or more areas within the factory and simulate routing portions or all of the workload to the available resources 510. The simulator may attempt several iterations 511 until an optimized re-allocation of resources is determined and display the results 512 within a user interface of the control center. Upon determining an optimized model, a user within the control center may accept or decline the simulation 513 and the method proceeds to step 514 where the method updates and deploys the determined scenario.
For example, if piece of equipment within one of the build cells 207 a of

The 4 worst toys for kids
There was a lot of competition this year but there can only be one "Toady" award.
Toady stands for "Toys Oppressive and Destructive to Young Children." And the 2013 Toady awards come from the Campaign for a Commercial Free Childhood.
1 of 4
1. The iPotty
The Campaign for a Commercial Free Childhood's Susan Linn says that this year's worst toy aims to connect technology to basic bodily functions.
"The year's winner of the dreaded "Toady," the worst toy of the year, is the iPotty. A potty with a place for an iPad.
The little plastic potty chair has a holder where you simply place your iPad.

Republicans Blow With the Wind
Another industry wants to keep its taxpayer subsidies.
Congress finally ended decades of tax credits for ethanol in December, a small triumph for taxpayers. Now comes another test as the wind-power industry lobbies for a $7 billion renewal of its production tax credit.
The renewable energy tax credit—mostly for wind and solar power—started in 1992 as a "temporary" benefit for an infant industry. Twenty years later, the industry wants another four years on the dole, and Senator Jeff Bingaman of New Mexico has introduced a national renewable-energy mandate so consumers will be required to buy wind and solar power no matter how high the cost.
The truth is that those giant wind turbines from Maine to California won't turn without burning through billions upon billions of taxpayer dollars. In 2010 the industry received some $5 billon in subsidies for nearly every stage of wind production.
The "1603 grant program" pays up to 30% of the construction costs for renewable energy plants (a subsidy that ended last year but which President Obama calls for reviving in his budget). Billions in Department of Energy grants and loan guarantees also finance the operating costs of these facilities. Wind producers then get the 2.2% tax credit for every kilowatt of electricity generated.
Because wind-powered electricity is so expensive, more than half of the 50 states have passed renewable energy mandates that require utilities to purchase wind and solar power—a de facto tax on utility bills. And don't forget subsidies to build transmission lines to deliver wind power to the electric grid.
What have taxpayers received for this multibillion-dollar "investment"? The latest Department of Energy figures indicate that wind and solar power accounted for a mere 1.5% of U.S. energy production in 2010. DOE estimates that by 2035 wind will provide a still trivial 3.9% of U.S. electricity.
Even that may be too optimistic because of the natural gas boom that has produced a happy supply shock and cut prices by more than half. Most economic models forecasting that renewable energy will become price competitive are based on predictions of natural gas prices at well above $6 per million cubic feet, more than twice the current cost.
The most dishonest claim is that wind and solar deserve to be wards of the state because the oil and gas industry has also received federal support. That's the $4 billion a year in tax breaks for oil and gas (which all manufacturers receive), but the oil and gas industry still pays tens of billions in federal taxes every year.
Wind and solar companies are net tax beneficiaries. Taxpayers would save billions of dollars if wind and solar produced no energy at all. A July 2011 Energy Department study found that oil, natural gas and coal received an average of 64 cents of subsidy per megawatt hour in 2010. Wind power received nearly 100 times more, or $56.29 per megawatt hour.
Most Congressional Democrats will back anything with the green label. But Republican support for big wind is a pure corporate welfare play that violates free-market principles. Last week six Republican Senators—John Boozman of Arkansas, Scott Brown of Massachusetts, Charles Grassley of Iowa, John Hoeven of North Dakota, Jerry Moran of Kansas and John Thune of South Dakota—signed a letter urging their colleagues to extend the production tax credit.
"It is clear that the wind industry currently requires tax incentives" and that continuing that federal aid can help the industry "move towards a market-based system," said the letter. What's the "market-based" timetable—100 years? In the House 18 Republicans have joined the 70-Member wind pork caucus. Someone should remind them that in 2008 and 2010 the wind lobby gave 71% of its PAC money to Democrats.
Here's a better idea. Kill all energy subsidies—renewable and nonrenewable, starting with the wind tax credit, and use the savings to shave two or three percentage points off America's corporate income tax. Kansas Congressman Mike Pompeo has a bill to do so. This would do more to create jobs than attempting to pick energy winners and losers. Mandating that American families and businesses use expensive electricity doesn't create jobs. It destroys them.
Corrections & Amplifications
Wind-power producers receive a subsidy of 2.2 cents per kilowatt hour generated. Some producers may also be eligible for construction grants. This story incorrectly said the subsidy was 2.2% and wasn't clear that producers may receive either the 2.2-cent subsidy or the grant, but not both.

Just Stan being Stan..
Stan Vangundy that is! SMH at this hater:
This clown is playing for an expansion team in a city famous for a cartoon mouse and he has the nerve to take shots at MSG? MSG is more than the Kncks too. Between classic fights from Ali to concerts it is indeed a historical landmark and elite arena. Add to it that we are renovating and modernizing it with truly unique features such as a sky bridge. Stan Vangundy aint winning **** in Orlando and he cry when Howard bolts for a real city like NY or LA.Van Gundy, who is not a person who gets nostalgic over buildings, didn't mince words.
"I've never understood the whole hype with Madison Square Garden," he said.
"It's like anything: They're a very good team with very good players, and so that's something that gets your juices flowing: because it's Chauncey Billups and Carmelo Anthony and Amar'e Stoudemire. But Madison Square Garden to me? It's not one of the nicer places in the league. It has some history, but no more so than some others. Look, their last championship was in the '70s."
He should ask his brother... It's not about the building but the fans who fill it... The roar of the crowd when our team is out there fighting is unmatched... and when we are in a position to get that trophy Stan will be able to hear us back in Orlando.
seriously did we pass him up for a job or something?
This dude is so bitter towards The Knicks its kinda pathetic
He and Charles Barklery, I mean at least we know its because Charles Oak had proved him to be a fraud in terms of toughness.
But whats his problem!!!!
"I'd Rather Melo shoot with 3 men on him than Jefferies shotting wide open"
-Jeff Van Gundy
Don't be hatin on my boy Stan he actually says whats on his mind, at least he was honest
Lotta nyk haters getting their rocks off trying to take pot shots at us.
Let them do it..they just know the power a legitimized MSG and optimized knick team is. And they know we will be bending this league over soon.
Lotta fools going to be exposed by early next season; even this playoffs potentially.
This thread isn't fair to actual douche bags, which actually serve a purpose.

When Silvano Alves straps on his spurs to compete in this weekend's Professional Bull Riders tour stop in Oakland, Calif., the Decatur cowboy will come in with a commanding title race lead.
Alves, a native of Brazil who is attempting to win a record third consecutive PBR world title, is ranked No. 1 in the PBR Built Ford Tough Series world race with 8,534 points, 1554.02 ahead of Joao Ricardo Vieira, who is ranked No. 2 with 6,979.98. Marco Eguchi is ranked third with 6944.3.
If Alves can hang onto his lead after competing in the remaining six regular season shows and the Oct. 23-27 PBR World Finals in Las Vegas, he will receive a $1 million bonus. The PBR, which is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, has awarded a $1 million bonus to the world champion bull rider since 2003.
J. B. Mauney, a North Carolina cowboy, is ranked fourth in the world standings with 6,636.5 points. He has won two out of the past three Ford Series shows. On Aug. 17, Mauney won the PBR's tour stop in Tulsa, Okla., after turning in a remarkable final round score of 95.25 on Bushwacker, the 2011 world champion bull who is owned by Julio Moreno Bucking Bulls. During the past weekend, he won the BFTS tour stop in Thackerville, Okla., after turning a 91.5 in the final round aboard a bovine named Jack Daniel's Winter Jack, owned by the Circle T Ranch & Rodeo.
Mauney earned $36,800 after winning the Thackerville-based WinStar World Casino Invitational. He finished the two-day show as the only cowboy who stayed on all three bulls.
■ A cash cow: Some of rodeo's biggest names congregated at AT&T Stadium in Arlington on Aug. 22 to speak at a news conference on The American, a lucrative rodeo that's scheduled for March 2. The American will feature the world's top competitors who will vie for $2 million, the largest payout for a single-day show.
The speakers included seven-time world all-around champion Ty Murray and six-time world all-around champion Larry Mahan.
Mahan, a bronc and bull rider who thrived in the late 1960s and early 1970s, jokingly said that the whopping $2 million purse has him thinking about competing.
"It has me so excited that I want to crack out again," Mahan said. "This morning, I did a push-up and a sit-up to help me get ready to ride in the mutton busting."
■ Brazile watch: After winning the tie-down roping title at the Aug. 22-24 Kitsap Stampede in Bremerton, Wash., and placing in the same event at the Rancho Mission Viejo Rodeo in San Juan Capistrano, Calif., the Lynden (Wash.) PRCA Rodeo and the Norco (Calif.) Mounted Posse Rodeo, Trevor Brazile was ranked No. 1 in last week's world all-around standings with $165,321. Brazile's lead over Tuf Cooper was little more than $58,000 as he bids for a record 11th Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association all-around gold buckle. In last week's world standings, Brazile, an Amarillo native who lives in Decatur, also was ranked third in steer roping, seventh in tie-down roping and he is 11th among team roping headers. His total of 17 world championships is one shy of the record held by Guy Allen.
■ In the money: Ryan Gray, a former Texas Tech star who has homes in Cheney, Wash., and the West Texas town of Petersburg, earned $2,280 after winning the bareback riding title at the Bremerton, Wash., rodeo. Gray clinched the title after turning in score of 85 aboard a bronc named Licorice Baby, owned by the Calgary Stampede. Gray, a seven-time National Finals Rodeo qualifier, was ranked second in last week's PRCA world bareback riding standings with $92,969. Defending world champion Kaycee Feild was ranked No. 1 with $97,853. Three-time world champion Will Lowe of Canyon was ranked fourth with $85,065.
Brett Hoffman, a Texas Cowboy Hall of Fame member, has written a rodeo column for the Fort Worth Star-Telegram the past quarter
