The invention relates to automated manufacturing. It particularly relates to the monitoring of automated machine tools in process lines, manufacturing sites and other industrial settings, and will be described with particular reference thereto. However, the invention also finds application in other automated manufacturing processes where prompt scheduled maintenance or replacement of components of the manufacturing equipment is advantageous.
Typical materials processing lines or manufacturing sites include a plurality of machines, each performing one or more processing steps. The machines can, for example, be single- or multiple-spindle automatic screw machines, dial index/rotary transfer machines, transfer lines, or the like. Each machine in the process line typically includes a plurality of specialized tools that cut, drill, turn, polish, or otherwise work, process, or modify a work piece. Each machine usually operates on a cyclic basis systematically repeating a set of machine cycles that typically produce a single part per machine cycle. It is to be appreciated that some machines can produce more than one part per cycle.
In an industrial environment, an important consideration is maximizing throughput of such machinery. Hence, the machines preferably operate essentially continuously, each at a steady cyclic machine operating rate that produces the parts at a substantially constant rate.
However, materials processing machines typically involve cutting and/or abrasive interaction between the component tools or tool inserts and the work piece. This cutting and/or abrasion eventually results in a dulling of the tool cutting surfaces or other tool degradation which is usually correctable by sharpening the affected tool. Machines with dull tooling are periodically paused or taken off line to replace the dull tool with a freshly sharpened new tool or to perform other maintenance.
In an industrial environment, tool maintenance shutdowns are preferably anticipated and scheduled. An unanticipated shutdown, such as due to a catastrophic tool failure, can shut down operations at an inopportune time, e.g. when a delivery deadline is approaching. Scheduled replacement of tools is typically less expensive than recovering from a catastrophic failure of a degraded tool which may in turn affect or damage other tools or machines in the process line. Furthermore, replacement of tools on a schedule determined by the tool manufacturer's recommendation and/or past experience of the manufacturing site greatly reduces the likelihood of producing defective parts due to sub-standard or non-optimized machine tool performance. Scheduling tool replacements also assists in inventory maintenance because acquisition of the replacement tools can be appropriately scheduled. Lastly, overused and/or broken tooling usually cannot be simply resharpened and must be replaced at a typically large expense. A tool changed at the appropriate time can most often be resharpened and reused, thus extending its useful life.
Although the benefits of scheduled tool replacements are well recognized in industry, a problem arises in projecting the timing of such replacements and, thereafter, actually exercising the replacement. Typically, a component tool is assigned a tool life in terms of the number of machine cycles, e.g. a drill bit may be expected to perform adequately for 2,000 machine cycles. The number of tool life cycles will usually depend on several factors, including the type of workpiece, the material being machined, and the machine operating rate. For a typical process line, the cyclic tool life can be established by prior experience, e.g. by visually examining the tool after its removal to determine the extent of degradation. However, knowledge of tool life in terms of the number of cycles does not directly translate into a real-time projection of the actual tool life, e.g. in units of minutes, and more particularly into a realistic projection of the optimal time for replacing the tool.
The projection problem is exasperated by the environment of a typical industrial machine shops in which machine operators are attempting to cooperate with other machines and parts in the process line and are frequently working against short delivery schedules. This environment is not conducive to rigorously estimating and following tool replacement schedules. As a result, tools are often replaced at non-optimal times, resulting in unnecessary shutdowns, catastrophic tool failures, production of defective parts, higher tool costs, increased scrap material, inaccurate manufacturing cost estimation, and hosts of other negative consequences.
The prior art includes a number of systems directed toward monitoring machines to facilitate tool replacement or other maintenance. Many of these systems measure characteristics of the tool, such as vibration or power consumption, to detect and report impending or existing failure. These systems do not respond until after some detectable degradation of the tool has occurred, and do not project the timing of the replacement. These systems, therefore, are not proactive but, rather, are simply reactive.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,880,965 issued to Nakamura et al. discloses a method for analyzing work schedules to identify foreseeable problems. The method does not, however, monitor the actual performance of the manufacturing machines. U.S. Pat. No. 5,446,572 issued to Boldys discloses a system for tracking the number of machine cycles in which a tool is used, and also provides a visual indication of when the cycle count reaches warning and limit values. However, these values are reported in terms of machine cycles, so that the actual tool replacement time must be calculated as an additional step by machine operators who frequently are occupied in other tasks.
The present invention contemplates an improved tool wear monitoring system and method that overcomes the above-mentioned limitations and others.
In accordance with one aspect of the present invention, a method for monitoring a set of manufacturing machines, each having at least one associated tool, is provided. The method is proactive in monitoring tool life and is well suited for use with manufacturing machines engaged in repetitive production of machined parts at a substantially uniform production rate. The method is preferably executed on an electronic device having a display device for displaying information to an associated human operator. The method includes the steps of receiving a tool life parameter value for each of the associated tools, the parameter value representing an expected number of machined parts to be produced by the associated tool. Machine cycles of the manufacturing machines are detected and tracked. Operating rates of the manufacturing machines are calculated based on the number of machine cycles per unit of time, preferably cycles per minute. Lastly, the times remaining until tool replacement are estimated based on the number of machine cycles executed, the machine operating rates, and the stored tool life parameter values.
In accordance with another aspect of the invention, a monitoring apparatus is provided for monitoring a manufacturing machine having a plurality of component tools and engaged in repetitive machining of a part through machine cycles. The monitoring apparatus includes an input device adapted to detect occurrences of a machine cycle as a machine cycle count. A counter stores the machine cycle count. A machine speed processor estimates a temporal rate at which the machine cycles occur. A data storage device stores a maintenance schedule indicating the number of machine cycles between recommended replacement for each tool. A tools processor estimates a remaining operating time for each tool before scheduled replacement. A machine viability processor estimates a remaining operating time for the machine before scheduled replacement of each of the component tools. Lastly, a display device displays the operating time remaining for the machine before scheduled replacement of each of the component tools is required.
In accordance with yet another aspect of the invention, a method for monitoring a cycling manufacturing machine having a plurality of tools is provided. The method detects machine cycles of the manufacturing machine, estimates a machine operating rate based on the detecting step over time, and projects tool change times for each of the plurality of tools based on the estimated machine operating rate and pre-selected tool cycle lifetime values for each of the plurality of tools.
In accordance with still yet a further aspect of the invention, a monitoring device for monitoring at least one cycling manufacturing machine having a plurality of component tools is provided. The monitoring device includes a counter, a processor, and at least one visual indicator corresponding to at least one cycling manufacturing machine. The visual indicator is in operative communication with the processor and includes first, second, and third indicia corresponding to a status of the cycling machine. The first indicia corresponds to the at least one cycling machine having one or more than one threshold time increments remaining before scheduled replacement of any of its component tools. The second indicia corresponds to the at least one cycling machine having a positive time value remaining before scheduled replacement of any of its component tools and having less than a threshold time before scheduled replacement of at least one of its component tools. Lastly, the third indicia corresponds to at least one cycling machine working beyond the scheduled replacement time of at least one of its component tools. The visual indicia are displayed for each tool of all machines associated with the monitoring apparatus.
Numerous advantages and benefits of the present invention will become apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art upon reading and understanding the following detailed description.
The invention may take form in various components and arrangements of components, and in various steps and arrangements of steps. The drawings are only for purposes of illustrating the preferred embodiments and are not to be construed as limiting the invention.
With reference to
Each machine 12, 14 typically includes a plurality of component tools that cut, drill, turn, grind, thread, form, or otherwise work, process, or modify a workpiece. Each machine 12, 14 operates on a cyclic basis in which each machine cycle typically produces a single part. In an industrial environment, an important consideration is maximizing throughput of such machinery. Hence, the machines 12, 14 preferably operate essentially continuously, each at a substantially steady operating rate, uninterrupted except for periodic maintenance and/or tool change shutdowns.
Each machine 12, 14 has a corresponding suitably arranged machine cycle detector 16, 18 such as a mechanical cam and switch mechanism (not shown) that detects the occurrence of machine cycles. A corresponding machine cycle counter 20, 22 provided in the subject apparatus 10 tracks the number of cycles executed by each machine. The machine cycle detectors 16, 18 can take various forms. In one detector embodiment, an additional sensor (not shown) detects a machine operation that occurs a known number of times, e.g. once, per cycle. In another detector embodiment, the output of a machine cycle sensor (not shown) is integral with the machine is used. In this latter case, it is often advantageous to include filtering and isolation circuitry between the built-in machine cycle sensor and the counter 20, 22.
With reference again to
Information pertaining to the tool replacement times and corresponding machine shut down times is displayed on a multi-color display device 30. By using a plurality of colors, e.g. white background to indicate the machine is not running at all, green to indicate the machine is running well, yellow to indicate that at least one tool should be replaced "soon", and red to indicate that at least one tool has been used beyond its scheduled cycle life, the display device 30 provides the operator with an intuitive and easily interpreted indication of the status of the machines 12, 14.
In the preferred embodiment, the machine cycle counters 20, 22, the processor 24, tools replacement cyclic schedule table 26, schedule editor 28, and multi-color display device 30 are provided as a single computer system 32, e.g. as a personal computer or a workstation. Although integration of the major apparatus components into a computer system 32 is preferred, the apparatus 10 could also be formed using predominantly discrete components. For example, the multi-color display device 30 could include plurality of status indicators, each associated with a machine, such as ruggedized colored shop bulbs, known in the art as a "Christmas tree", of suitable colors.
With reference next to
As seen in
The display panel 52 of the main display screen 50 also includes indicators 60 that are operatively connected with the machine cycle detector, e.g. detectors 16, 18, corresponding the machine. The indicators 60 change state, preferably light up or otherwise change in appearance, when completion of a machine cycle is detected, e.g. as shown for the indicator 60 2 corresponding to machine #1.
As also seen in
The display screen 50 provides the machine operator with the relevant useful monitoring information at-a-glance, but does not effectuate updating, e.g. when a tool is in fact replaced. With reference now to
With reference to
In addition to the columns of information relating to the tools, general information about the machine operation is also selectively provided. In the preferred display 70, such auxiliary information includes: "Part", i.e. an identifier for the part being produced by the machine; "Machine Count", i.e. number of parts produced so far; "Work Order" and "Revision No." therefor; and selected user authorization dialogs including "Authorization Name" and "Password". Optionally, the latter can be used to limit the ability to change machine and/or tool settings to authorized operators or other authorized individuals.
The information contained in tooling setup screen 70 shown in
It is to be appreciated that all job set-up sheets can be saved in the subject system. The set of sheets can be used over again such as when jobs previously run are again commissioned. Additionally, the set of sheets and jobs can be moved to other machines, reviewed for estimating quotations on similar new jobs, examined for cost-profit analysis, continuous improvements, and the like. Rather than starting new jobs from scratch, previously saved jobs can be modified as necessary in order to manufacture the new parts commissioned. Tool life parameters can be compared between manufacturers of identical tools. Archived jobs can be used for historical analysis as well. Essentially, the archived jobs are useful for a wide range of activities.

If the tool status is either yellow or red 112, then the scheduled replacement time 106 is checked 114 against an urgency threshold. Typically, the urgency threshold is zero, i.e. a tool which is overdue for replacement triggers the red urgency indicator 116. If the scheduled changeout is greater than the urgency threshold, then a yellow tool status is preferably returned 118.
It will be appreciated that the method of

Those skilled in the art will appreciate the password-based user access interface can be modified in various ways to conform to particular workplace or manufacturing environments. For example, in an alternative preferred embodiment, the machines are grouped into two or more classes, and the authorization dialog box 140 is modified to include separate authorizations specific to each machine class. This embodiment is suitable for manufacturing environments in which machines are highly differentiated, or where certain machines are particularly damage-prone or dangerous so that access to those machines is advantageously limited.
With reference to

With reference to
The variances listed on the reset log 170 are functional estimates of how closely the actual count at change out matches the planned tool life, e.g. as entered in the tool setup dialog box 70 shown in
With reference to
It is to be appreciated that one purpose of the production run report 180 is to determine how many parts were made in a given period of time. Another purpose is to determine how much time the machine was up and running during a given period of time. An additional purpose is to display the rate at which the machine was operating during the time it was running. Yet still further another purpose of the production run report 180 is to show the number of tool resets which were required for the operator to perform during a given period of time.
In a preferred embodiment, reports such as the exemplary reports 160, 170, 180 are optionally printed or saved to diskette or another storage medium.
The invention has been described with reference to the preferred embodiments. Obviously, modifications and alterations will occur to others upon reading and understanding the preceding detailed description. It is intended that the invention be construed as including all such modifications and alterations insofar as they come within the scope of the appended claims or the equivalents thereof.

Note: We do not provide a whakapapa research service
This part of our site deals with whakapapa and how to go about researching whakapapa.
Whakapapa is a life long journey of discovery.
Although whakapapa translates as genealogy, there are very distinct differences. When searching for genealogy there are many places where you can find information, going right back. However, with whakapapa, this is not the case.
Many people today believe it is their right to have their whakapapa, but their whakapapa may feel differently.
Whakapapa chooses who will work with the tupuna and who will not and whakapapa sure lets you know if they do not want you to, or your time is not right! Whakapapa is wairua, and whakapapa knows wairua, so if you do not have the right attitude then, yes, well...
With all things Maori, some people have an aptitude for certain areas and an aptitude for other areas. Some are kapa haka people, some are weapons people and some are whakapapa people.
Like all things Maori, if you start with the basics, if you have the right attitude and the aptitude then the tohu will show themselves and take you on to the next part of the journey.

Leagues Of Fortune Online Slots
Adventure seekers will thrill to the new Leagues of Fortune slots game which combines the exhilaration of underwater exploration with multiple opportunities to earn real money prizes. Leagues of Fortune is a five-reel online slot game with Wilds, Scatters and Bonus games that offer generous cash rewards for gamblers who are willing to dive down into the ocean's depths.
More Than a Thousand Ways to Win
Leagues of Fortune is a Flash Casino game with one thousand and twenty-four permanently enabled pay ways. Pay Ways involves a new online slots option in which gamers are not obligated to activate paylines in order to achieve winning payouts. Older slots games required winning combinations to appear on enabled paylines and be eligible for a cash prize but the Pay Ways slots provides additional opportunities for winning combinations while ensuring that all completed matches result in a payout. There is a further possibility of multiple wins per pay way. Whenever three or more matching icons are displayed left-to-right on any position on consecutive reels, with one symbol displayed on the first reel, a win occurs.
Online Slot Machine Symbols
The five reel video Leagues of Fortune includes all of the symbols that represent underwater adventure including the Captain, a diver, an underwater shipwreck, the search submarine and more. The Logo of the Leagues of Fortune online slot machine is a Stacked Wild. This Wild can substitute for any other symbol on the machine to complete winning combinations as it creates a symbol stack, allowing multiple symbols to display simultaneously on a reel to increase winning opportunities.
The Treasure Chest symbol is the game's Scatter which completes winning scatter combinations whenever two or more Scatters appear on the reels. If three or more Scatters appear scattered on the reels the Free Spins Bonus Game is triggered.
Online Slot Game Bonus
The Free Spins Bonus Game awards up to 35 Free Spins with a 5x multiplier. There is no reactivation of the Bonus Game during the Free Spins.
The Your Gamble feature activates randomly. Players may choose to play the Your Gamble feature or pass it by and continue with the regular game. Playing the Your Gamble feature involves spinning the compass needle to gamble existing earnings. The compass is divided into two sections, Win and Lose with a possible 20x multiplier. As the multiplier changes, the 2 sections of the compass adjust accordingly in size. Players can gamble half of their win amount or the entire amount. To play the player clicks "Gamble" and then "+" or "-" to increase or decrease the odds, Clicking "bank" sets the amount of earnings that the gamer wants to gamble. After clicking "Spin" the compass needle will spin. The location on the compass where it stops will determine the winning amount. The Gamble feature may be reactivated.

Be incredidbly wary of booking with this company. My experience was one of nothing but stress....before I travel!!
The secret to dealing with this lot is to ask questions. They do offer the cheapest deals on the internet, but by the time you add on the extra's and hidden surprises, you are just as well dealing with another company, which is more clear cut.
I booked the holiday over the phone, with no issues and found the gentleman to be more than pleasant. At the end they give you the usual terms & conditions...LISTEN very carefully and don't fall into my situation. The flights are based on 'Super Saver', which in my case meant, that instead of a direct flight (which I presumed I would have) from Glasgow to Sharm El Sheik, I was offered one from Glasgow to Luton, then Luton to Sharm..Not the most convenient. Upon not receiving any confirmation, I was forced to phone for a second time to chase on some form of receipt. I was then informed, that they couldn't get a 'Super Saver' flight back exactly 7 days later, and it would mean an overnight stay in Luton, to catch a flight back to Glasgow....19 hour lay-over!!! Not acceptable...I was then offered the Direct Flight option, at an additional £59.00 each...Additional cost, which I wasn't happy about, as at the end of the day, it wasn't my fault the 'Super Saver' wasnt available based on a seven day holiday. They eventually conceded and although I had additional cost, it was reduced to £30.00 each.
Another cost to watch out for...The £18.00 Agency Bonding Fee....They should quote....£18.00 per person for each way of the flight...An additonal £72.00.
I was also informed that my holiday included the cost of Transfers. What they didn't tell me, that because I am fortunate enough to have booked a 5 star hotel, the hotel offers this service on a complimentary basis.
So, all I will advise is, be VERY careful and ensure you ask all the right questions....especially ensure that you get the correct flight details before you hand over any card details....If that means them having to phone you back, then I strongly suggest that's what you do.
My £389.00 advertised holiday landed up costing £510.00 each, with all of the additions.
Personally, I will never deal with again, and I've booked lots of holidays over the phone, but this lot, although they give you the information....eventually....they are not very forth-coming, and when they are...it costs you more.
Written on: 29/10/2013
Firstly let me just clear up, there are no 'hidden' costs, everything is quoted to you over the telephone. As in any industry, all prices are lead prices, and this is no different with travel. If you want the cheapest possible travel, with no bags or transfers, you can have just that. Call any agent on Ice lolly, teletext etc, they all operate in exactly the same manner. All prices are lead fares and available to book at that costs. If you want an Egypt holiday £200 per person cheaper than any where else, we can offer that, but you must accept the prices are that much cheaper because the flight will have a stop en-route.
Let me also point out, that when you were offered an extra day, or the option of a direct flight at an increased cost NO MONEY HAD LEFT YOUR BANK ACCOUNT and no booking made at this point. You are at liberty to refuse the alternative offers and look elsewhere. You accepted an alternative offer, this is your choice.
Your final price of £510 person to Egypt on the dates you picked is still a fair chunk cheaper than anywhere else and this will be because you booked onto a seat saver fare. If you wish not to book onto in direct flights you can do so, but this costs more money. All of this is pointed out to you during the booking process. What people seem to do is book the cheapest fare, listen to the terms of that fare, either ignore them, not pay attention, then complain afterwards. We offered you the alternative to pay the extra and book the direct flights, but even then you have complained, at that point as I said before, you should've just cancelled down your booking request as no money had left your card.
The agency bonding fee again is quoted on every telephone call, if you do not wish to pay for this, again, we can end the telephone call and you are at liberty to look elsewhere. It is not something we do not quote on the call or merely add on without notification. This bonding covers you if any part of your holiday fails, it is your full financial protection when travelling. Certificates are issued and can be sent if you wish to have them.
Transfers were included with your holiday, whether the hotel offer this or we do is irrelevant, it doesn't change the fact it was included, we still have to pay the hotel their rate which is a price including transfers.
I would agree with you, when entering into any contract, be it a mobile phone, life insurance or a holiday, listen carefully and make sure you read terms and conditions. That is what they are there for.

You gave me no alternative....You stated that it would cost me £50.00 per person to cancel this holiday, and given the way you operate, that was certainly what I wanted to do....You 'offered me an extra day'....You make that sound like it was in egypt, when in fact it was the lay-over at Luton Airport!!
I stand by my comments...DO NOT give this company any card details until you have the full cost, and your exact flight details and are 100% happy with everything. They are a genuine organisation, but as already stated, and proved by the comments above....not forth-coming with the full story.
They are cheap.....but for a reason as I come to find out!!
Written on: 29/10/2013
Quite right, we are cheap, we are able to offer holidays to places like Egypt at peak periods for hundreds and hundreds of pounds cheaper. Saving families over £1000 on a holiday, so they are able to go to places that as a family, they couldn't normally afford.
On any seat save fare that is booked (they alre not all seat savers as you imply) the first thing we say is 'We are about to read you some important terms and conditions of this booking, please listen carefully and if you do not understand any of the terms, please stop us and ask'. Before the terms are even read, we tell you to listen and ask if you do not understand. If you choose not to listen or ignore this, there isn't much more that we can do. The terms also go on to say 'this is booked on our seat save fare, which means flights will be indirect, involve a stop and/or a change of aircraft en route'.
This really cannot be any clearer and if you wish not to have this, you only have to say.

I re-iterate to everyone....no matter how cheap the deal.....DO NOT give card details until you have complete details and full costs....
That way you wont face paying £100.00 for cancelling what comes to no mroe than a phone call
Written on: 29/10/2013
I agree with you.
If you want exact confirmed times you pay more and get confirmed flights.
If you want the bargain deal (which many people do) hundreds of pounds cheaper, you book the seat save fare.
The options are there, your own choice.

Written on: 29/10/2013
As it turns out.....If 321 Travel don't like the comments you place on a Forum (which is for public information to allow them to make your own choice) they threaten you with legal action, and accuse you of being a liar and giving untruths
My experience is exactly that. My experience of the organisation. It is my interpretation of what I have been through.
At no point, did I say the company was wrong. I however do think they are not forth-coming with exact details.
I freely acknowledge I should have listened to the T&C's more closely as the full information was provided.....But not the exact details of flights....and that is the point I would encourage everybody to ensure they have before booking.
The £18.00 agency fee.....Yes...was told about it, but wasn't informed it was for each way of the flight.
I do invite 321 travel to share with the public the lies and untruths that I have made.
Maybe they will like to keep that for their legal action?
Written on: 29/10/2013
This is a public flatform to post your opinion on a service or product. If there are any untruths or libellous comments within that posting we will seek full recompense legally, as we are entitled to do so.
Just because this is a public platform to review a company, that does not mean only 80% of the story/version of events should be correct.
You have tried to make it sound like we have hidden costs from you and somehow skimmed past important terms. It is as much your obligation to listen to the terms and costings as it is to listen to the dates, airports being booked etc. Terms were very clear, you were asked to listen carfeully. The same goes with the costings.
The agency bonding levy having listened to the call was quoted word for word as '£18 agency bonding fee, this is a per person charge on each of the flights that you travel on, each way.
Those two 'opinions' alone are libellous in the fact you are trying to portray we hide details of a booking and costings from our customers. This is not true and will be defended vehemently. You were given full costings and read full terms. You booked a seat save fare, the very nature of this fare as explained is that you are booking on the premise of the cheapest possible way to get to point A to B, not knowing exact times upfront, they are a guideline.
You seem more intent on having the last word more than anything else. Your booking was very clear and I really cannot see what more we could've done.

At no time did I state you never gave the information.....you just never provided the full information when asked.
In addition, at no point I'm I stating that nobody should use your services.
I am however stating the mistakes I made while dealing with your organisation....and I re-iterate 'MY MISTAKES',
It's up to the public to make their decision from there, but threatening people with legal action certainly doesn't portray your organisation in a good light.
And of course I want the last word.....I'm a woman!!

Hi Millychristie I have gone through the exact same situation as yourself. Me and my partner booked to go to Egypt supposed to be flying on Saturday 2nd November got told about a charge of £18 and was told this was a legal requirement at not one point of the conversation was I advised of £18 per person each way and was told and confirmed before booking and payment taken the full amount would be £838 all in this was for luggage flights hotel everything and the colleague even said to me at the end of the call there is no admin fees no additional fees on top it's just £838 and that's it so I booked it all be known that the flight got cancelled and the only other alternative was to fly back a day early wasn't happy but had no other option so accepted this and to receive my email confirmation to a total price of £910! And this was for a day les and more expensive. I called to complain and then they told me about the 'bonding fee' as it should have been advised to me previous had added an extra £72 to the holiday. This money can't now be refunded and I'm paying more money for 1 less night. I absolutely understand what you are going through this company is a joke! And I am seeking legal advice
Written on: 01/11/2013
You have my complete sympathy. If your e=anything like me, it certainly takes the shine off the excitement of going on Holiday.
Just check your flight details when you get them. They made two mistakes in mine (although they will off course blame the airline). I'm flying Thomson, and even on the 321 Holiday itenary, it states I should receive an e-mail confirmation from the airline, and that I may be refused if I'm unable to present such a document. 321 told me that what was on their email was sufficient. Again, before they state it is and has never been a problem in the past.....The airline told me differently, and as it's them that's flying me, I believe them more than 321.
Again, checking directly with the Airline...I was then told my booking was under MR and NOT Miss. Enough for some airlines to refuse you already. Then the gentleman asked if I would like to add a baggage allowance, as I was only permiited Hand Luggage at that stage, despite booking and paying for 20kg allowance.
I went through all the details with the Thomson gentleman, corrected the errors and had him send me their email confirmation direct to me, instead of it going to 321???
I might add at this stage, that I only went direct to the Airline, because I know from prior experience that Thomson require you to fill in API (Advanced Passenger Information), prior to the flight, and again if this information isn't provided they can refuse you on the flight. To the uninitiated, there is no mention of this on the itinery you receive from 321. It states its a requirement for Wizz, BMI Baby, Ryanair etc., but NOT Thomson flights.
I was then forced to get in contact with 321 to get them to add on my Baggage allowance with the airline, which they duly did.
Looking at the itenary I received from 321, it does state I have a 20kg allowance, but the airline stated differently, and to be honest, if it wasn't for the fact I went direct to the airline, I would have arrived at the airport, and had to pay another baggage allowance.
So to recap:-
1. Double check with your airline your allowance
2. Make sure you will in the API
3. Ensure you get the airlines email confirmation.
I even went as far as checking with my hotel in Egypt to make sure they have my booking!!!
Yet again.....another example of 321 not being forth-coming with all relevant information.
All I can say Lucy, is that I hope you have a fantastic holiday, despite the debarcle.....Its 32c...enjoy xxxx
Written on: 01/11/2013
This sounds like a company from hell! I will never purchase another holiday with them again I'll make sure we'll check the airline before the departure date sounds like we have just been ripped off thank you so much for the reply and the comments I will take on board I'll print everything off I have received from 321 and discuss with the airline directly before leaving. Again thank you and we are going to try and enjoy the holiday as best as we can xxxx

Without going round and round in circles again.
On your passport, there are no titles, just first names and surnames. With Thomson, you are not required to add any information before travel, the airlines that require online checkin are listed. We book some 3000 seats per month without issue. Easyjet also have the option to add information beforehand, but just last week I travelled by turning up at the airport with my passport.
Your flights are not booked direct with the Airline, neither is your hotel, it is booked through ourselves, calling the hotel for example to check you are booked may well get the response 'we have no booking in the name of Smith'. That is because you are not booked directly with the hotel, so you may not show on their system.
With regards to any additional fees, please just call any company on teletext for example, credit card fee £12 a person, online checkins £20 a person, booking fees £15 a person, call it what you like, every agent has their own fees for the service they provide, afterall, it is a business.
I feel you would rather post on here than just take our advice and enjoy the holiday. If you got to the airport and had to pay for baggage for any reason, we would refund you immediately.
2 years on this site of reviews with some 80,000 passengers sent, our complaint ratio is not even close to 1%. 15 complaints in here? Most resolved to satisfaction. But some people do like to make things sound worse, when in reality, complaints are relative to bookings made.
It seems as though you are picking through your booking trying to find a problem if anything. You booked a cheap deal, got exactly as you asked and are almost hoping something else goes wrong when you haven't even travelled yet.
We wish you a pleasant trip and kindly request you stop spamming your review. You made your point, and had your say. We will request this post is removed if it continues to be spammed with the same booking and the same issue that we have already answered on numerous occasions.

I have had the exact same experience.Change of departure airport, No being told the £18 was x4. For a 3 day break it was a disgrace. As a sweetener i was told I was being upgraded to a superior room. I was dubious and went on the website to find the hotel has no superior rooms,all standard and the same. How do you explain that. you need to train your staff.

i have had identical experience with these people. I was told at the end there was an £18 charge ,when i asked if it was each person they said yes ,no mention of each way. Did not know till I got the invoice. As a sweetener they said they had upgraded me to a superior room. Checked the hotel website and ALL the rooms are standard. Dont trust them. I had already paid when I was told I would be leaving from adifferent airport at great cost and time to ourselves,especially as It was a 3 day trip. Sorry I ever came in contact with these ppeople. Dont trust them.

Citi analysts expect the leu/euro at around 4.10 in second quarter, 4.00 in third quarter, and 3.95, by year-end.
As Citi analysts said, the IMF-EUled package, constitutes an important step in alleviating concerns over the country's large external financing needs.
"In our view, IMF is comfortable with NBR's active involvement in order to cap the excessive volatility. This, combined with a more credible macroeconomic framework supported by IMF/EU-led package should support the leu, if the global risk appetite doesn't deteriorate significantly", reads the Citi report.
The above-noted factors paint a favorable picture for the leu in the near-term, Citi analysts say, taking into account some risk factors which require close monitoring.
"For instance, in the event of a rapid leu appreciation, the NBR may opt for intervening through selling RON".
The large deviations from the economic program's fiscal targets and political noise ahead of Presidential
elections in November, may undermine investor sentiment, thereby adversely affecting the currency.
"As for the last risk factor, we believe is less probable for NBR to intervene, only if the leu's devaluation is accompanied by a sudden halt in the adjustment of external deficit", Citi analysts say.

Welcome back to women's online Bible study based on the book Read the Bible For Life by George Guthrie. We are discussing week nine and completing our study this week. Join us as we discuss our personal plans for reading the Bible with perseverance. Below is an update from Missionary Mom and Ministry Leader Stasis Nielsen as she shares her own experiences bringing the Bible to others. These are her words:
Throughout my life as a missionary momma I have been privileged to spend time with the poorest of the poor and even invited to their homes. In all honesty, I feel more honored being invited into some of these places than when I have been invited to the more grand places in the world. The reason being is that I have been trusted with their vulnerability and they know that no judgment will follow. Nothing will make me cringe in disdain; no smell, no bugs nor rats or lice can throw me off of my guard and cause them to feel uncomfortable with me. If I am offered something unusual to eat, I just deal with it and eat it, complimenting on the uniqueness of its flavor and asking how it was made. I feel blessed when I am with those needier than myself. I share this not to boast but because it is a precious gift that missionaries need to develop.
In light of this, I would like to share a story with you. I meet this elderly woman once. She was poorer than poor, yet her vivacity and joy was contagious. She lived on the mountain where we were serving and I just fell in love with her from the moment I met her. She invited me to her home, and apparently she invited many people however no one ever went. I was so honored that she even invited me, and that just blessed her to pieces. Of course, in most of the places where we have served you do not just get an address and Google map it, you need to be shown the way. So one day, I met her and we began the long walk to her home.
I was truly amazed at her energy level, she put me to shame as we went up and down the hills of the great mountain. She was missing many teeth and her speech was slurry, yet she chatted happily all the way. I so enjoyed her company. With her wrinkled hand in mine we enjoyed the long journey and then up the final rickety steps up to her loft of a shack on the top of another old shack. As we climbed she pointed out her "beauty" in pots, the little carrot tops and other shrubbery she was attempting to grow. She had a few scary looking chickens, at least that is what I thought they were. It was hard to tell because they were so diseased and skinny. She had a name for each one. They were her little sickly companions.
We entered her dark room. And that was what it was, a dark and dingy room filled to the low ceilings with stuff. I have found that the poorest of the poor are the grandest of hoarders. They collect anything they can, they may need it one day I suppose. She was no different, boxes everywhere, filled with stuff, an old stove that had been recently in a fire was next to one wall. She told me she put the fire out with a bottle of Coke. Her bed was just old blankets, smelly and crawling with things, piled high on top of boxes. There was a table, with some food and a few stray cats were bickering over who got the final scraps. A rat tried to move to another box and a cat from the table pounced upon it and drug it to the doorway, where it could play with it better in the outside light, because of course, there was no electricity.
The smell, nasty food, cats, rats and creepy things upon the bed did not bother me at all. My eyes even drifted at one point to the bat hanging from a corner in the ceiling. If it did not bother her, it should not bother me. I wanted to converse with this amazing woman. What was it about her that set her apart from the others who shared similar circumstances in life? I knew many, many poor people who only spoke of their poverty with longing eyes and outstretched palms. She never asked me for a thing, and it was because of her selfless nature that I always joyed in giving her as much as I could.
She was joy, joy in her toothless grin and in her warm and loving hands. Even in her elderly frailty you experienced a deep love in the warmth of her embrace. Her circumstance did not dictate her joy, it came from within her. To sit her and listen to her share with me from the stories of her life would give me wisdom on some of the greatest truths of the ages. As author Elisabeth Elliot so eloquently writes, "It is Christ in me, not me in a different set of circumstances." This amazing woman embodied the quote to the fullest.
Here, before me in this sacred trash heap lived a woman, a lone woman who brought joy to so many in her poverty stricken little world because she knew the key to true joy. I am not talking about happiness, because happiness depends on happenstance. Believe me, there was nothing happy about her surroundings and yet I belly laughed and truly enjoyed myself whenever I visited her there. She cared deeply for others, she prayed fervently, and I believe she knew well the One to Whom she prayed.
This dear woman's joy came from the overflow of a spirit that had been drenched daily with the Word of God and fellowship in His presence. She had a few worn Bibles and would read the Bible diligently until she could not read anymore. If cleanliness was next to godliness, then she was definitely not an any saint-to-be list, however she loved God and it spilled over into the lives of others. We knew she loved us and we all loved her in return. I learned more from her in the short time that I knew her, than most of the years I spent in Bible College. She will never have her name in lights, nor will ballads ever be sung of her epic faith but her name is etched on the Palm of His Hand and that was all she ever wanted. She is content. I cried like a baby when she passed into His arms, not because of my loss but because she was taken care of and resting in Eternity with The One to Whom she gave her all to.
As we close our Read The Bible For Life study this week, I was moved beyond words by the faith of those that have gone before us. Those precious ones who walked through life clinging to God and His Word and not the things of this world. We live in an entitled age where our every want and whim is met at any hour of the day. It is because of this that we have forgotten the ancient beauty of a life devoted. A life devoted is one that yearns for time alone with God. Every moment spent with the Lord in prayer and the study of His Precious Word should be done from a passionate devotion and not a guilt-felt duty. Our challenge is simple: What legacy we will leave in exchange for the graces we were given? Can we find it within ourselves to live a life devoted to Him and a passionate desire for His Word? Will what we have learned leave us devoted or lay dormant within?

The Painted Brick Building Sides of buildings in Wyoming's towns and cities, and sometimes from other areas of the West. An examination of old style advertising. . . as it looks today.
Tuesday, October 25, 2011
Opal, Wyoming
Old painted store side in Opal, Wyoming. This was a fairly substantial structure, in what was an isolated small town, and as the sign indicates, the store included groceries amongst its offerings. Gasoline and Oil were also advertised, as can be seen. A tiny super store, in its day, or a substantial general store, if more properly considered.

MTWRentals very much looks forward to working with you. Before actively pursuing a rental, please click on our Rental Requirements page. Additional fees apply for transportation, shipping, packing, designer royalties and cleaning. Details provided upon request. Thanks!
The set for Catch Me If You Can, designed by Robert A. Kovach, includes all set pieces and furniture necessary to depict the various locations discussed in the script, allowing cinematic fluidity from scene to scene. The design focuses heavily on the concept of this play as a 1960s TV variety show, and the package includes a collection of rear-projected images evoking the 1960s time period, and depicting a wide range of locations, including homes, apartments, hotel rooms, and the FBI office, as well as specific 1960s TV show images. Other visuals depict less literal imagery, reflecting the emotions of the central characters.
Hard scenic elements include four large illuminated sliding panels that change colors, a framing set of soft portals, and a large central rear-projection video screen (framed by two sliders which can change the screen's square shape into the oval look of a 1960s TV set). The package includes all props (except guns) and an assortment of re-useable furniture pieces, with assorted dressing, which appear throughout the show. The screen images created by the set designer are included, but the projection equipment is not. The MTWichita production featured occasional live video feed of the actors, shot from a live modern camera onstage, hidden inside the shell of a 1960s TV camera. The shell is included in the rental but the video camera is not.
The dozens of colorful costumes by Dixon Reynolds are vividly period-appropriate, including showgirls and chorus boys, stewardesses and pilots, nurses and doctors, "Sing Along with Mitch" singer-dancers, FBI men, a Southern family, New York commuters, and three "Vanna White" type TV hostesses. The costume package was created for a larger cast than was used on Broadway (with approximately 12 ensemble women and 16 ensemble men in addition to the principals). Contact us for pricing, package details, and availability. All sets, props and costumes can be transported in two 53′ trucks. (Click photos for larger images.)

Veteran offensive tackle Oliver Ross, who has missed the last two seasons with injuries, has signed a one-year contract with the Arizona Cardinals.
Ross, 34, was previously with the Cardinals for three seasons, 2005-2007. But he spent the entire '07 season on injured reserve with a torn triceps. He also spent all of 2008 on the New England Patriots' injured reserve list with a shoulder problem.
Over the weekend, Ross participated in the Cardinals' three-day minicamp as an audition. The team was impressed enough with his performance in the minicamp to offer him a contract.
The addition of Ross, who originally entered the league as a fifth -round pick in 1998 with Dallas, should provide Arizona with veteran depth at several offensive line positions. Ross has started in the past at both tackle spots, and can play guard in a pinch.
A former Iowa State star, Ross has appeared in 89 games, with 53 starts. Thirty-nine of those starts, including 16 in 2004, came in a three-year period with the Pittsburgh Steelers. He signed with the Cardinals as an unrestricted free agent and appeared in games in 2005-2006, with 17 total starts.
Ross will be reunited with Arizona head coach Ken Whisenhunt and assistant head coach/offensive line Russ Grimm. Whisenhunt was the offensive coordinator in Pittsburgh, and Grimm the offensive line coach, for much of Ross' tenure there.
He has played in Dallas (1998), Pittsburgh (1999-2004), and Arizona (2005-2007).

Issue No. 06 - November-December (2003 vol. 1)

Solutions for privacy protection exhibit five role categories: prevention, detection, awareness, response, and recovery. Few recovery tools are available, though, especially for private data linked to permanent real-world facts (such as a user's birthday). Generally, once private data is revealed, second use cannot be controlled. In the case of email addresses, we argue that recovery-like tools do exist: Disposable Email Addresses (DEAs) can be closed when they are compromised by spam, because there is generally no requirement for email address to become permanent private data. In this article, we investigate the use and cost-benefit of DEAs as a mechanism for privacy recovery.

The Center for a Better South is working with key leaders from Alabama to Virginia to develop state work groups to discuss ways to promote opportunity and reduce poverty in rural areas of the Southern Crescent.
Goals of state work groups
The Center for a Better South is convening a work group of practical leaders from each state to meet weekly by conference call for an hour to discuss ideas, find out what's working, discover what's not and develop various strategies. During the process, we'll craft recommendations for ways that counties in the Southern Crescent can improve opportunities for residents and reduce poverty rates.
After four to six months of weekly discussions — or longer if necessary — each work group will collect practical recommendations in a report and share it with other work groups and state leaders. In early 2015, the Center for a Better South expects to convene a weekend symposium that focuses on the ideas and results of work groups and to bring participants together to discuss a regional framework to tackle endemic rural poverty and how to build more opportunities.
States with Crescent work groups include:
* = under development
If you're interested, please contact Andy Brack.
I've spent a lot of time working on economic and community development, including work for the Southern Crescent group that was headquartered in the South Georgia Economic Development District and the national Southern Crescent District created under the Federal Economic Development Act. I have worked more recently with several SC and GA Brownfields projects as well. A recently retired Director of the EPA Brownfields program has returned home to Pawley's Island and, I am sure, would be interested as well. What do we need to do to participate in a state work group?

Tom Hardy Gets Crazy in Extended 'Mad Max: Fury Road' TV Spot
by Ethan Anderton
March 30, 2015
"As the world fell, it was hard to know who was more crazy. Me or everyone else." Now that it's spring, we're getting closer and closer to the May release of the insane action extravaganza Mad Max: Fury Road. The film will play at Cannes Film Festival in France, but only one day before it's unleashed here in the United States. And to continue hyping the film, a new extended TV spot for the film starring Tom Hardy (with an unrecognizable voice again) and Charlize Theron has arrived with some new footage. It seems like this film is one massive car chase across the post-apocalyptic desert, and that's just fine. Watch!
Here's the new TV spot for George Miller's Mad Max: Fury Road from YouTube:
You can still watch the latest trailer for Mad Max: Fury Road right here.
Mad Max: Fury Road is a reboot of the adventure franchise that began with Mad Max in 1979, starring Mel Gibson. George Miller, the director of the original film and its sequel, is back behind the camera, working from a script he co-wrote with first-time writer Nick Lathouris. Within this world of fire and blood exist two rebels on the run who just might be able to restore order. There's Max (Tom Hardy) a man of action and a man of few words, who seeks peace of mind following the loss of his wife and child in the aftermath of the chaos. Meanwhile, Furiosa (Charlize Theron) is a woman of action who believes her path to survival may be achieved if she can make it across the desert back to her childhood homeland. Nicholas Hoult, Zoe Kravitz, Riley Keough and more star in the film Warner Bros. Pictures releases this summer on May 15th. Ready?

Cos and Effect, September 2015
By Alix Browne
When H&M launched COS in 2007, it was as if the global fast-fashion behemoth were offering an an antidote to its own relentless trendiness. COS (which stands for Collection of Style) is measured, cerebral, and almost minimalist in its approach- in the vein of, say, Calvin Klein or Jil Sander, only more accessibly priced. (Early on, it was even rumored that Sander was designing for the brand.) Consistent with its less-is-more philosophy, COS does not put on splashy runway shows, nor does it advertise- not in a conventional sense, anyway. Instead, since day one, it has embarked on a series of high-profile art and design initiatives. These have included sponsoring programming at London's Serpentine Galleries and the Frieze Art Fair as well as commissioning architects like Nendo's Oki Sato and Andre Fu of AFSO to create site-specific installations that not only broadcast its core philosophy but also provide a window into the creative process of its designers, Karin Gustafsson, head of women's wear, and Martin Andersson, head of men's wear.
For their latest such project, on view during this year's Milan design fair, Gustafsson and Andersson reached out to Daniel Arsham and Alex Mustonen of Snarkitecture. While the Brooklyn design firm has an essentially all-white aesthetic that can be minimal to the point of nihilistic, there is a playful, almost performative element to its work- projects have included a fictitious archaeological site for the Storefront for Art and Architecture in downtown Manhattan, and a 10-foot sculptural Marble Run for the lobby of the Delano hotel, in Miami, during the Art Basel fair. In response to the translucence and lightness of the COS spring collection the duo conceived a serene, labyrinthine space carved out of some 30,000 strips of suspended white fabric ribbons, which led visitors through a series of rooms to a pop-up shop. Among the accessories on offer was a deceptively heavy, diminutive white gypsum cement Snarkitecture pillow. "It's pleasantly confusing," Arsham says of the overall effect.
"In the research for our collections, Snarkitecutre's work kept cropping up," Andersson says, adding that a Nendo chair had featured repedeatedly in his and Gustafsson's mood boards before they even entertained the idea of a potential collaboration. So what else is on their design radar? "Richard Tuttle, the American post-minimalist artist had an incredible display in the Turbine Hall of Tate Modern, in London, that transformed the space using fabric," Andersson says. "And the Danish-Icelandic artist Olafur Eliasson's sculptures and large-scale installations have inspired us for years now." Stay tuned.

Discussion in 'On Topic' started by RMarks, Feb 12, 2007.
www.easyffl.com ?
I just bought it for $30. Did I make a mistake?
yes. Are you getting a c&r (type 03)? Or trying to get a regular dealer FFL (type 01)?
Either way, I'm going to say yes, it was wasted money.
edit: Pretty sure I got the types right, but if not, someone will correct me later
why do you say it was wasted money?
I'm with mvizos, if you're getting a c&r you certainly don't need any help.
If you're wanting an 01 plenty of people on forums would help you with any questions for free. For example are you in an area thats zoned to allow business from your home or do you have an actual retail location picked out? You can't just get an 01 because you want guns shipped to your house.
