Shanghai General Motors Co., Ltd. Chooses Apriso for Quality Containment
New solution to improve manufacturing flexibility, support continuous improvement and reduce the total cost of quality
LONG BEACH, CA - (November 17, 2009) - Aprisothe cost of quality and increase manufacturing efficiency.
SGM faced several challenges in maintaining its high quality standards. Prior to Apriso, limited visibility and control over third party logistics provider shipments led to possible production delays when out-of-spec parts were delivered. Because of this, it was difficult to quickly and efficiently identify and isolate any work-in-process impacted by the out-of-spec part or process. If a production line change was needed at the machine level, the time and resources to complete was cumbersome, with 100+ machines involved in a single product line.
With Apriso's FlexNet for Quality Containment, SGM has seamlessly integrated quality containment across manufacturing operations, helping to provide global visibility and control over production and logistics processes to complement other SGM Powertrain systems while integrating with their SAP ERP system. The quality containment system accurately identifies and contains product in the event of a quality problem - from production through Work-in-Process to minimize associated costs and prevent out-of-spec products from being sent to customers. Order information is retrieved from SAP and then automatically updated in SAP as materials, product count or order status changes; resulting in avoidance of manual data entry errors and the related delays.
"FlexNet Containment Manager easily allows us to identify and quarantine an engine or parts by multiple criterion, such as operation time, operator, work center, child or parent parts," explained SGM Project Manager Han Pengjun at Shanghai General Motors Co. "Out-of-spec work-in-process can now be held and not shipped to our customers, helping to improve customer satisfaction."
Apriso's FlexNet Machine Integrator has also been leveraged to centrally manage SGM's production machines through a web-based user interface that is much more efficient, accurate and faster than the prior manual process performed at the machine layer. Adjustments can be performed from remote locations, helping to improve SGM's manufacturing responsiveness and agility.
"Apriso has helped Shanghai General Motors achieve significant cost reductions by transforming their manufacturing operations into a collaborative, responsive set of processes and interlocking systems," explained Jim Henderson, president and CEO of Apriso. "When facing considerable demand fluctuation and unknown supplier quality for work in process, manufacturers need to respond by building in considerable flexibility in their production systems to contain potential quality issues and ensure customers receive the highest level of service and finished goods."

Luxury Mahogany Pet Residence Dog Crate
Sizing All Wrong
Sizing recommendations are not correct. I bought the Medium sized crate for my puppy who will be between 40-50 lbs at full size. She is only 7 months old, 38 lbs and the crate is too small for her. She can't sit up in the crate without bending her neck. It was a very expensive purchase for a temporary item.

dog crate nice but small?
I love the look of our dog crate, which we bought for our labradoodle puppy. She is now about 3o pounds, but the crate is small for her and she still has some growing to do. Was an expensive item which says should fit a dog to 50 pounds so she should have had lots of room as she will reach about 40 pounds.

Best Dog "Mansion" We've ever had!
I bought this crate, or as we refer to it, "mansion" for my dachshund several years ago and it was hands down the best purchase I have ever made!! Her Crate now can stay in the living room without appearing like it is an ugly cage. This has allowed me to put a nice lamp on the top and picture frames just as I would any table. Though if your dog chews cords I'd be wary of doing that. As other reviewers have said the top does come off easily (though it is quite heavy) as it just rests on the top. This is not an issue with a dachshund or any other small breed. A large dog it may be a problem. The side shades are not the easiest to pull down and use and one of mine consistently gets stuck (when I've pulled it down to show people) but we never use them so it doesn't bother me. And frontgate's customer service has always been good in the past that I didn't worry.
I get asked CONSTANTLY about where I purchased this crate. Before any other piece of furniture in my living room. People want to know where I found this amazing dog crate. I have been incredibly happy and would make the purchase again in a heartbeat. I do see it being probably slightly disappointing for a very large breed... or a large breed dog who would test the strength of it.
The instructions were not the most clear to assemble but it was not a mystery by any means and it didn't take long. It's a box with two sides being longer than the others so even without any instructions it should be difficult to figure out by process of elimination. It took me may be 15-20 mins and that was because I was screwing in pieces.

Great new Dog Crate!
I purchased this dog crate for my two shih tzus to share at night. I wanted to make sure I got something that complimented my bedroom furniture but more importantly was comfortable for them to sleep in at night. Both dogs easily fit into this crate with no problem. The unit itself looks amazing. The bed that comes with it is top quality. The item isn't cheap but my dogs are certainly worth every penny and Frontgate really delivered with this.

Perfect for our corgi! Works well as an end table in the family room.

Rare disappointment from Frontgate
Having made several prior purchases from Frontgate I have become used to a high level of product quality. This product was very disappointing. The parts were mislabeled, the instructions a very poor translation into English and once I was able to get it assembled found the fit and finish to be well below what I have come to expect from Frontgate. It is barely adequate for the purpose for which it was designed. It is too new for me to be able to comment on durability.

The Luxury Pet Residence Dog Crate is Perfect
I love this dog crate. It is absolutely a luxury item but worth every penny. The bedding is very high quality, nice and thick, and assembly was simple. I bought two of them and you can reverse the door by turning it upside down so they can both open the same way against the wall if that is how you need it.

Beautiful Condos
We purchased two of these crates in the large size for my daughter's 40 lb bulldogs. She has had the 'condos' for about four years, and her two bulldogs love them. I recently bought another one, a medium, for my Biewer Terrier -- Yorkie-sized. The units are beautiful and sturdy, and unlike the experience of another reviewer, the dogs haven't ever been able to escape. The pull-down shades are durable, with a quality rewind mechanism.
I am a retired lady, and I put the medium together by myself in less than 30 minutes from the time I opened the box. An Allen wrench is supplied, but you need a Phillips head screwdriver.
Now for the 'cons':
One of the latches did break. We are well past any guarantee period, so we probably will remove the gate and have the latch repaired locally. Until then, we are using only the top latch with no issues.
The bottom plastic tray is a problem. One of ours cracked, and Frontgate replaced it. Then that one cracked, too. So we went to the big orange hardware/lumber store and had a piece of Masonite -- sometimes called hardboard -- cut to fit over the top of the tray. Masonite is thin but very sturdy, and it provides a more substantial base. Easy fix.
Some of my daughter's locking cams have worked loose as a result of moving the crates to clean, and we have learned that they need to be re-tightened now and then. To move the crates, we should probably grasp the corner posts rather than the top, so we don't put unnecessary torque on the cams.
Without question, we are delighted with the condos.

Mahogany or Cherry finish?
When looking at the pictures online and in the catalog of the mahogany finish, some of the pictures look more like cherry and others look like traditional dark brown mahogany.
All my furniture and wood trim in the house has a cherry finish and some of the pictures I see on your website and in the catalog look like this finish would go very well with my home. However, the finish is called mahogany and some of the pictures look very much like a traditional mahongany finish. I'm reluctant to order this based on the different pictures of the finish. Can you please clarify?

I first learned the basics of crochet around age three and knitting around five. My attention soon moved to cross stitch, sewing, and other crafty pursuits, then I re-taught myself to knit while I was in college. I studied theatrical costume design and worked as a costume designer in and around San Francisco for several years. The research I have done in historical clothing is a strong influence on my design sense, and many of my patterns reference styles from the 1920s through the 1960s. My designs tend toward garments with clean lines and intriguing details that are interesting to knit and easy to wear.
In February 2007 I started self-publishing a line of knitting and crochet patterns for kids and adults. My patterns are available as downloadable pdfs through my website and Ravelry, and as paper copies in yarn shops.
I teach many group and private classes in San Francisco, Oakland, and Emeryville. See upcoming classes at www.kirakdesigns.com/Classes.htm.

This all transpired when Ukraine's President Viktor Yanukovych was ousted from power and fled to Russia in fear of his life. The new powers in Kiev want to enter the modern world and have closer alignment with ...

It may be a time for teens to celebrate, but local law enforcement agencies want young people to party responsibly and make it through graduation and prom season alive.
Operation Graduation Prom Alive, or GPA as it's known, is in its eighth year and so far has been a success in preventing teen fatalities, said Kanawha County Sheriff John Rutherford.
Nearly a decade ago, the county experienced a string of after-prom or after-graduation fatalities. Rutherford said the traffic fatalities would occur year after year.
There have been no fatal crashes in relation to prom or graduation since the program began in 2006.
"We as a department felt like we needed to do something to reduce the number of accidents during prom and graduation season," Rutherford said.
"There's nothing more tragic than the death of a young person especially as they are beginning that next step in their lives."
The sheriff's department started by stationing deputies at dances and graduation ceremonies and then extended the program to include municipal agencies and the State Police.
For example, the students at Herbert Hoover High School and George Washington High School will be holding their proms Saturday at the Charleston Civic Center.
Rutherford said deputies, troopers and Charleston police officers will be parked in front of the Civic Center when the students arrive and stay through the festivities.
When the students return to their neighborhoods after prom, the officers will head to the known party spots to conduct high-visibility, zero-tolerance patrols.
Capt. Sean Crosier said Metro Communications keeps officers up to speed on calls concerning parties, allowing officers to provide better coverage.
Crosier said the message is to encourage young adults to be careful and abstain from drinking, specifically drinking and driving. He said officers also would take tips from members of who know of parents throwing parties and serving alcohol to minors.
"We're going to practice zero tolerance," Crosier said. "If we receive a call or a tip on parents serving alcohol, we're going to follow up on it and investigate."
The operation receives $15,000 from the Kanawha County Commission in overtime funds for officers in all agencies participating. Joining the sheriff's department are State Police troopers, and officers from Charleston, South Charleston, Dunbar, Nitro and St. Albans.

Paul Millsap added 25 points and 10 rebounds as the Jazz snapped a nine-game losing streak on the road, their longest since they dropped 17 straight in the 1981-82 season.
The Jazz (37-36) pulled even with the Lakers for the eighth and final playoff spot in the Western Conference, but own the tiebreaker over Los Angeles. The Blazers (33-39) dropped 3 1/2 games back with their third straight loss.
Portland, playing without forward LaMarcus Aldridge because of a sprained right ankle, got 24 points from rookie Damian Lillard. J.J. Hickson added 17 points and 14 rebounds.
The Jazz trailed 92-86 with 3:48 remaining when they took off on their run, led by Williams with 12 points. Williams made a 12-footer and Randy Foye added a layup and free throw with 2:57 remaining to go ahead 93-92, and the Jazz led the rest of the way.
The Jazz were coming off a 103-88 victory at home over the Suns on Wednesday, but it was costly. Center Enes Kanter, averaging 7.2 points and 4.3 rebounds, dislocated his left shoulder. It is not known when he might return.
The Blazers took a 30-22 lead on Wesley Matthews' 3-pointer at the first-quarter buzzer. Victor Claver made a layup after a behind-the-back fake pass that put Portland ahead 34-28.
Derrick Favors' jumper pulled Utah within 40-38 and Al Jefferson's hook shot tied with 4:41 left in the first half. But Portland responded with a 12-0 run, capped by Nicolas Batum's 3-pointer and Hickson's jumper to make it 52-40. Jefferson hit a jumper and the Jazz trailed 54-42 at the half.
Gordon Hayward made a pair of 3-pointers that pulled the Jazz within 64-61 midway through the third quarter. Williams added a pair of layups to give Utah a 65-64 lead.
Claver's dunk put the Blazers back ahead 72-70 before the quarter was over. It was back and forth until Eric Maynor made a 3-pointer that gave Portland an 85-80 lead with 7:55 left.
The Jazz next host the New Jersey Nets Saturday night.

Our current research is focused on the role of the hormone prolactin in the regulation of human breast cancer. In normal mammary development,prolactin (PRL) is critical for alveolar proliferation and differentiation. Increasing evidence supports the involvement of PRL in breastcancer,the leading type of cancer in women. The prolactin receptor (PRLR) is detected in 80% of human breast cancers and is overexpressed in breast cancercells.Normaland tumor mammary epithelial cellssynthesize PRL and PRLR,thus the PRL behaves as an autocrine growth factor for human breast cancercells. These results suggest the need for a more complete understanding of PRLR signaling in breast cancer. Tyrosine (Tyr) kinase JAK2 was identified as a PRLR-bound signaling molecule. Identification of the proteins recruited to the PRLR-JAK2 complex and dissection of the signaling pathways that are subsequently activated will ultimately provide a basis for understanding PRL action. We have found that the serine-threonine kinase PAK1 associates with and is Tyr phosphorylated by JAK2. We have identified three Tyr(s) of PAK1 which are phosphorylated by JAK2 using two-dimensional peptide mapping and MS/MS analysis. In an attempt to understand how PRL stimulates the growth of human breast cancer, we have shown that PAK1 regulates cyclin D1 promoter activity in response to PRL and have proposed two PAK1-dependent mechanisms for that: via nuclear translocation of Tyr-phosphorylated PAK1 and via formation of a Nck-PAK1 complex that sequesters PAK1 in the cytoplasm. We are continuing to work on this project. Another field of our interest is how PAK1 contributes to better cell migration, since tumor metastasis still remains the main cause of breast cancer death. We have shown that Tyr phosphorylation of PAK1 by JAK2 increases breast cancer cell motility and invasiveness, regulates the production of different MMPs, and changes cell adhesion. We want to know which signaling pathways link PRL/JAK2/PAK1 to breast cancer metastasis. Our studies may identify specific biomarkers that could make it easier to detect cancer cells with metastatic potential at an earlier stage or help doctors to know that they need to look at these particular molecules during clinical evaluations.

My Daughters Ignition
I have told this story many times, but wanted to put it in writing. Daniel Coyle in his landmark work The Talent Code talks about igniting the fire of greatness. Coyle states
'we are often taught that talent begins with genetic gifts- that the talented are effortlessly able to perform feats that the rest of us just dream of. This is false. Talent begins with brief powerful encounters that spark motivation by linking your identity to a high performing person or group. This is called ignition, and it consists of a tiny, world shifting thought lighting up your unconscious mind: I could be them."
I can tell you that I witnessed ignition in my daughters life at a USA Women's Hockey camp in Blaine Minnesota. I watched my then 11 year old daughter act like a member of a lost tribe who had found "her people". There were others like her. Women who just wanted to be hockey players. I could see her mind shift to "I could be like them" and I watched her behavior shift to be like them. Suddenly an hour of shooting pucks seemed like a good idea. The weightroom became an obvious place to visit. She wrote her own story here: Women's Hockey Life .
In Shenk's The Genius in All of Us he talks about genetics x environment. Not genetics plus environment but genetics times environment. Great genetics and the environment of ignition lights a powerful fire. The lesson for me is that you can create passion by exposure to great role models. Taking your son or daughter to a great college game becomes a really good idea. Staying for autograph sessions after, even better. You don't need to push passionate kids, they do it themselves. Find ways to encourage passion, even is sometimes it is by accident.

Ecology is evolving rapidly and increasingly changing into a more open, accountable, interdisciplinary, collaborative and data-intensive science. Discovering, integrating and analyzing massive amounts of heterogeneous data are central to ecology as researchers address complex questions at scales from the gene to the biosphere. Ecoinformatics offers tools and approaches for managing ecological data and transforming the data into information and knowledge. Here, we review the state-of-the-art and recent advances in ecoinformatics that can benefit ecologists and environmental scientists as they tackle increasingly challenging questions that require voluminous amounts of data across disciplines and scales of space and time. We also highlight the challenges and opportunities that remain.

Rare spotted bald eagle photographed near Bellingham
January 13, 2013 @ 3:19 pm (Updated: 3:46 pm - 1/13/13 )A San Juan Island photographer saw something last week she will "never forget" near Bellingham.
Thanks to her skill we can see something rare - a spotted bald eagle.
Photographers Chris Teren and Traci Walter snapped shots of eagles feeding on the Nooksack River.
Walter described the photograph she took to National Geographic.
"It was chaotic, with eagles flying and calling everywhere, then in came this eagle. It didn't take me long to figure out what we saw was something very special," she says.
"I was so excited, but I contained myself and focused on this eagle, and wound up with some great shots. I have seen a couple leucistic animals before, and figured that's what was going on."
Leucism is a mutation that prevents melanin, or pigment, from being produced in parts of an animal's body. In the case of birds, the pigment is absent from some feathers.
We don't see many eagles like that because leucistic birds are at a disadvantage. Unless they live in snowy regions, their striking white color may be more noticeable to predators or prey and may also turn off members of their own species.
Find more of Walter's amazing shots of this eagle on her website Traci Walter Photography.

Aphex Launches
Drone manufacturer Event 38 Unmanned Systems has launched a new multirotor drone called Aphex, which is designed for high quality aerial photography. "This hexacopter is based on the 3DR Hexa frame. It comes ready to fly with a 2-axis stabilizing camera mount for taking aerial photographs," says founder Jeff Taylor. "We modified the camera mount so it can now take images not only at moderate angles but also straight down for super low altitude mapping missions." For the time being, the built-in shutter control is limited to the Samsung NX1000, NX20 and NX210 but users with their own remote shutters are able to use those as long as the total weight doesn't exceed 500g. The Aphex AP hexacopter is priced at $1589 including everything except the camera.

Fujfilm, Panasonic Co-develop Organic CMOS Sensor
Fujifilm and Panasonic have developed a new organic CMOS image sensor technology that promises better dynamic range and higher light sensitivity. The new technology uses an organic photoelectric conversion layer with a photoelectric conversion property at the light receiving section of an image sensor to achieve performance beyond that of conventional image sensors. The transistors and metal interconnects in each pixel, fabricated using Panasonic's semiconductor device technology, are coated with a photoelectric conversion layer developed using Fujifilm's organic material technology. This boosts sensor sensitivity by 1.2 times compared to conventional sensors to deliver clean images even in low light. The thin film, achieved with the organic CMOS image sensor technology, has enabled the expansion of the range of incident angles to 60 degrees, efficiently utilizing light entering at an angle for faithful color reproduction with no colour mixing. The improved signal saturation value, combined with a newly developed noise-cancelling circuit, has resulted in what the two companies call "the industry's highest dynamic range," preventing highlight clipping in bright scenes.
Hasselblad Lunar Hits Shelves in UK

2013 Championship Challenge
After winning the 2012 IndyCar Championship, Ryan Hunter-Reay was faced with a dilemma. He was allowed to run the #1, but his heart told him to keep running the #28 as he dedicated this number to the 28 million living with cancer today. Ryan quickly realized he could do both and with the support of Andretti Autosport and IndyCar, Ryan now runs the #1 with a small 28 embedded in the number. For Ryan it was simple…"One Goal, Beat Cancer!"
Will you help Ryan achieve his goal? For a donation of only $28 by race fans and supporters worldwide, we can make unparalleled progress toward our mission and be a leader in the global fight against cancer! We need to do our best to unite as many fans and supporters worldwide to help 28 million people living with cancer today! May we count on you?
Racing For Cancer was founded in 2010 in honor of Lydia Hunter-Reay, who lost her battle with colon cancer in November 2009. Since then, we have tried to build a charity aimed at building awareness for early detection and prevention to help save the lives of people who won't have to hear those dreaded words, "You have cancer!". Today, after two and a half exciting growth years, we are really just getting started! We plan to launch new programs to raise awareness for early detection and prevention in the future.
BUT, WE NEED YOUR HELP! Will you make a minimum donation today of $28? Tell your friends via email or by using our convenient links to Twitter and Facebook and ask as many people as possible to donate just $28. Together we can help beat this disease…one fan at a time!
With your donation, you are, "Helping pick up the pace!"

Maryland group gives SAF $10K for legal battles
(Note: The YouTube video is worth watching.)
Since SAF's Supreme Court victory in McDonald v. City of Chicago on June 28, the foundation has filed three new legal actions, in Maryland, New York and North Carolina. It is fair to say these lawsuits will help define what "reasonable firearms regulation" might include, and what existing laws may not fit within that definition.
National Park manhunt for killers; Seattle asks more time in gun ban appeal
Ideally, one would never need a firearm on a camping trip, but when things go very bad and you do need a gun, you need that gun rather badly.
Article by Dave Workman
Blogger Pamela Geller, who runs the blog Atlas Shrugged, has filed suit against New York City's Metropolitan Transportation Authority over its refusal to run ads against the building of a mosque at Ground Zero.
Geller's ad was revised four times prior to the suit being filed.
For the full story on the suit, go to Atlas Shrugged.
Thursday's confirmation of Elena Kagan as the 112th justice to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court was one more signal that the court system, because of the people elected or appointed to the bench, is in serious trouble if not completely off the tracks, if one listens to the critics.
In the firearms community, there is great concern about Kagan's philosophy toward the Second Amendment. Calling it a matter of "settled law" was an evasive political maneuver for Kagan during the Senate Judiciary hearings. That's essentially the same thing Sonia Sotomayor said about the right to keep and bear arms, and one need only look at her support for the dissent in McDonald v. City of Chicago to understand the court, the Constitution and the country doesn't need another justice like that.

"There is simply no scientific evidence that the use of traditional ammunition is having an adverse impact on wildlife populations that would require restricting or banning the use of traditional ammunition beyond current limitations, such as the scientifically based restriction on waterfowl hunting," said NSSF President Steve Sanetti.
Arizona is a state that has seen an invasion of illegal immigrants continue unabated for years. Illegal immigration has taken its toll on Arizona in the form of billions of dollars spent on social services, education and prison costs.
Much more devastating, though, has been the human toll it has taken. Human and drug smuggling, kidnappings, drop houses and the murder of immigrants and American citizens are just some of the byproducts of our porous border.

Expensive Bathtub Reminds Me Of Pipe
Can't tell what you're looking at? It's a $26,000 bathtub from artist Tetsuya Nakamura. It reminds me of a pipe I used to have. My grandmother found it in my sock drawer and kicked me out of her attic. The bathtub is made out of reinforced plastic though, not glass. But I imagine you could still get a hell of a toke off it. But be careful. The last time I smoked out of plastic I inhaled too much vaporized polyvinyl chloride, and now they say I can't make babies. Which, in my case, is probably a good thing.

By Patricia Bertron, R.D.
Many people with diabetes--and their doctors--think of the condition as a one-way street. After diagnosis, we begin a never-ending series of blood-sugar tests, medication adjustments, and gradually worsening symptoms. Happily, that has begun to change.
In a research study at PCRM, in cooperation with doctors at Georgetown University, a group of people with Type 2 diabetes, the kind that typically begins in adulthood, tested a new diabetic diet. They found that their blood sugars got better and better, and their need for medication quickly fell. Many have found that as improvements continued, the disease simply disappears.
Chapters Include
Plus 98 Delicious Recipes for Overcoming Diabetes
"This remarkable book tells how you can prevent diabetes or even reverse it. For those who have diabetes, it clearly describes the delicious foods and activities that can lead to a better and longer life." —Henry Heimlich, M.D.
Author Information A former nutrition director for the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM), Patricia Bertron, R.D., has also worked as a clinical and renal dietitian in a teaching hospital in New Jersey, counseling patients with various health conditions including cardiovascular disease, kidney disease, and diabetes. She has worked as a sports nutritionist for a fitness facility and currently teaches classes on weight control through a hospital-based program in New Jersey.

If you have a baby on the way, or you're taking care of a newborn, the proper baby furniture is essential for both the parents and the baby. Decorating the nursery with the proper baby furniture will give you a leg up when it comes to successfully raising a child. So what do you need to ensure your baby has the best upbringing possible?
A great crib or baby cradle is the fundamental piece of furniture in any nursery. When it's time for sleep and the baby isn't in your arms, you want to make sure that your little one is safe and secure while they slumber.
A baby cradle is a classic piece of furniture that rocks and sways, which will soothe your baby and help them sleep. Add a cradle mattress and blankets, and your baby will be asleep and dreaming before you know it. Baby cradles are only recommended for babies up to six months, or once they learn sit up or pull themselves into a sitting position. A bassinet is a mini-bed for babies, but like a cradle, they have a small window for when they can be used (newborn to four months).
A crib is the standard piece of sleeping furniture for your baby, as it is fit for newborns and has a longer shelf life than a cradle. Look for convertible cribs that can be transformed into a toddler bed or day bed to extend the life of the crib even further. Crib mattresses and crib sets are also something that you may want to look into if A) your crib didn't come with a mattress and B) you want a crib/changing table combo.
Changing tables are a functional piece of baby furniture that will make a parent's life so much easier. While it's possible to change your baby using blankets on the floor or on the couch using a changing pad, a changing table offers a safe and secure place to change your baby. Look for a changing table that comes with safety straps and or safety rails that will keep your baby secure during the change.
A changing table also benefits the parent, as it provides a comfortable place for changing. Unlike when you change a baby on the floor or on the couch, there is no unnecessary bending or straining of the back. Look for a changing table that reaches to about your waist, as this is a comfortable height that won't tweak your back. If you're concerned about what you'll do with a changing table once your baby is potty trained, many changing tables can be turned into desks or drawers.
Gliders and Rocking Chairs
Babies love the feeling of rocking, as it reminds them of their time spent in the womb. A rocker is the traditional chair with two curved bands of wood attached to the legs that allow a rocking motion. A glider is a chair attached to tracks that give the chair a smooth, gliding motion. When purchasing either a glider or a rocker, make sure that the motion is completely smooth, without any sticky spots or stuttered motion. Also, the chair should be absolutely quiet as to not disturb the baby.

Apple-Samsung jury really wanted to go sailing this weekend
Complete coverage: Apple v. Samsung, a battle over billions
I was really looking forward to at least another week.
I was hoping to be able to digest all the nuances, potential results, pitfalls and expert predictions.
I tell you who wasn't looking forward to that: the jury at the Apple/Samsung trial.
These 9 fine members of humanity must have peered through the window and thought: "Oh, look. We're in Northern California. It's sunny outside. A perfect weekend for sailing."
The just-announced verdict showed that this magnificent nine, some of whom have worked in tech, … Read more

I would like to wash the engine of my Fiesta and I thought that you guys could give me some tips. Is there anything that I should know before washing it? Is it a good idea to wash it with a high pressure water pistol?
Thanks in advance!

Pretty sure your supposed to steam clean engines not use a pressure washer
I was also thinking about the steam clean, but I am not sure if I find any around...

From what a lot of people have told me its best not to use a pressure washer on it as it can cause damage to the engine. Steam cleaning is better, thats if you have one of course but they say that if you have the time and can be bothered clean it all by hand with a small sponge or a small fabric hand mitt is always your best bet. always remembering to protect the battery, oil filler and all those bits and bobs.
Probably that's the best thing to do. One day take a few hours and wash it by hand. I am waiting for sunny days and I will do that because I don't want to damage anything. Takes longer but it safe at least.
Posted 07 November 2012 - 08:55 PM
I'd really really appreciate if someone could post some pics of the necessary parts being covered next time you wash your engine!
I tried cleaning mine with cg hfew spray, a small brush and compressed air but took really really long, and without any good result so I quit it. Many parts out of my reach too...
So far I've read about covering the battery, air intake, alternator. I have quite a few cables whose rubber dressing is short on their ends so I got quite a few reservations. Anyone having done the procedure with rinsing, if you could post some pics I'd really appreciate it.
thnx in advance
Posted 07 November 2012 - 09:45 PM
and add some back to black stuff
Posted 07 November 2012 - 09:58 PM
I guess black on black or any other dressing (AG VRC, 303 etc) will not stick there if there are dirt remains...
Do you have any pics?
