Looking Forward To Fall...
I wanted a beautiful new decoration for my front door that would welcome the season to come, perhaps sooner than usual... and hopefully stay well into a long Indian Summer... I found just what I had in mind at JoAnn's Crafts... the perfect sunflower swag, at 40 percent off even... are you anxious for Autumn too?... my very favorite time of year... xoxo...

Hi Ju JuReplyDelete
I love this new decoration.. I think the Sunflower Swag is Perfect!! I bet it looks beautiful on your door and will look great now and in the months to come. Yes For me on Looking Forward to Fall... Have a good day Ju.
Love Filly
I just saw your photo and lovely hat on Rebecca's blog and thought I'd visit you. We're in Idaho and have many friends in Utah but don't get down there very often. I hate traveling! Anyway, I do like your blog. Serene and peaceful. Nice to meet you, sugar.ReplyDelete
Hi, I love all the seasons although I must admit the cold winter is my least favorite. I love autumn because it brings out sweet smelling candles, new quilt projects, more reading etc.ReplyDelete
I love your new swag. I got a autumn wreath last year that I love but birds nested in it so not sure I'll put it up again. Hopefully they are done nesting.
Hugs, Noreen
ooooh, this is so pretty, Julie. you and I have the same idea!!ReplyDelete
I like your door hanging a lot. Very nice.ReplyDelete

And a very pretty swag it is ! I to love fall with all its colors fresh air and breezes and the smell of bond fires . The only season I do not like to much is winter for its icy cold winds but it is pretty when the snow has freshly fallen and sticks to the trees ! Have a wonderful day !ReplyDelete
I do love Fall- it is my favorite Season but I feel kind of like I got cheated out of Summer this year...so I am gonna hold out for just a couple of weeks yet-However, I LOVE your swag!!!! Blessings to you- xo DianaReplyDelete
I am looking forward to fall also. It has been a hot August and how nice the cool crisp air will feel. Hope you are enjoying a blessed day.ReplyDelete
Hi Julie Marie,ReplyDelete
Yes I too am anxious for Fall. I have pulled out a small of sunflower decor but have a bit of watermelon dishes out also. Kindof a Summer to Fall transaction. The other morning when I went out to water pots I definately felt a bit of Fall in the air. By afternoon it was hot, hot, hot. Looking forward to the cool down. I do love Fall in Utah! Your new swag is perfect to greet the season.
My favourite season too although I agree with you, it is nice to live where you can enjoy all 4 Seasons (even though some we enjoy MORE)ReplyDelete
Pots of Mums are showing up at the grocery store so it's ok to start decorating for Fall :-) Love the door swag you found.

It's also possible that Frodo and Sam didn't die, since one needs to be immortal to gain entry to the Undying Lands, hence the name. They could've been made immortal.

The Undying Lands are called that because that's where elves and Gods live, not because it grants immortality. It's funny that you say this actually because when Sauron was captured by the Numenoreans, he told them the same thing, that being in the Undying Lands gives you immortality (this is a lie). The Numenoreans then tried to invade to seize everlasting life and were all promptly destroyed by the Gods for their arrogance.

So generation after generation of elves just plummet to their watery death because everyone assumes they're going to the "Undying Land". Just a thought. Elves fw they see waterfall.

Wondering if a person is about to have baby and become a father within 4 months and sentencing is in 3 months in a federal white collar case with a recommended sentence of 2 years if this would count as a potential mitigating factor for the defense when arguing for a downward variance at sentencing?
Departures have lost some of their importance since the Supreme Court declared the federal sentencing guidelines to be advisory only. I agree with Mr. Solis that the facts you describe would probably not warrant a downward departure under the guidelines, but they would be considered in determining the actual sentence under Section 3553(a).
It is probably not unique enough to become a downward sentencing departure, however, under 18 USC section 3553 (a) (1) the court is required to consider the history and characteristics of the defendant, so even if not recognized by the guidelines as a downward departure, it can still be advocated as a potential mitigating factor.
I agree with Mr. Solis that this could play a part in determining your sentence based on background and characteristics. A lot depends on the judge you have and how they feel about this kind of information. Some are more influenced by these things than others. It's always wise to make sure the judge hears the good points in your story - your work, your family, etc. Letters of support and even photographs attached as exhibits to your sentencing memo can make a judge take a closer look at your case and consider varying downwards from the recommended guidelines range. A lot may also depend on whether this is a first time offense, as that is when family information is most useful, in my opinion. Best of luck!
The fact that you will become a father just a month after sentencing may be argued as a reason for a variance to the applicable US Sentencing Guidelines range pursuant to several factors in 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a). However, it is necessary that you demonstrate the mother and child's need for your support, both parentally and financially, for the argument to be effective.
Joshua Sabert Lowther, Esq.
If the AUSA is recommending 24 months, they should sponsor a departure to that fact from any applicable guideline over that amount. The child may not be a mitigating factor to the crime, but sure would be a great 3553 fact for a variance. Talk to your attorney about this idea. Take Care!
Sentencing in the federal system is a somewhat complicated process. The probation department, as part of its pre-sentence investigation, determines the applicable federal sentencing guidelines. The guidelines are advisory only. The federal judge must consider them but is not bound to follow the guidelines as determined.
The defendant's attorney has the right to challenge the guidelines in the pre-sentence report ("PSR") of the probation department. Ordinarily, this occurs when the defendant and his attorney believe that there is a mistake in the PSR's proposed application of the guidelines. The district court judge will rule on any objections to the PSR.
Your question states that there is a recommendation for a sentence of two years. Is this the guidelines calculation, a recommendation by one of the parties, or a joint recommendation? Moreover, you should be aware that the judge is not bound by any recommendation. The sentencing court may ignore the recommendation and sentence above or below that recommendation.
Ultimately, the law charges the judge with the duty to sentence a defendant to a just sentence for that particular defendant. As several of the responses point out, 18 U.S.C. sec. 3553(a) becomes important in this regard. That subsection enumerates the "[f]actors to be considered in imposing sentence." Subsection (1) includes the "history and characteristics of the defendant." In addressing this portion of the statute, the attorney, in the case that serves as the basis for your question, could discuss the impending birth and the importance of the involvement of the child's father in the child's early life and how the father's involvement will help the child's mother.
Moreover, consideration should be given to a discussion of each of the 3553(a) to determine the possible impact on the sentence.

Patches don't completely fix things, this was expected as the underlying flaw is still there. Patches just mask the flaw for a while, until someone finds a way to get past the patches.

gee what a surprise
While it's still perhaps premature to write off Java's future, there's a lot of bad press piling up fast for Oracle. And before one can hope to pull out of an uncontrolled descent, one has to correct the cause of the flat spin that precipitated the descent in the first place. A number of experts assert Java contains multiple security flaws, some or many of them latent - that is, as yet unexploited. Unless Oracle gets its arms seriously around the architectural or coding pattern-flaw issues underlying essentially all of these, the 'flat spin' and the descent will continue. They can't really afford any more announcements along the lines of DHS's last one before a mad rush for the exits begins in earnest (if it hasn't already). Trying to kill off these exploited holes one embarrassing, semi-effective patch at a time can only end with Java's ultimate impact with some very hard ground.--The American Republic will endure until the day Congress discovers that it can bribe the public with the public's money. A. de Tocqueville
+1The only Real fix is to write a new version without the current flaws.Or really good patches, which has not worked for Oracle so far.

Nothing new here. There are a lot of software products that come with carpware build into installer. Like Foxit Reader or even CCleaner not many people know about that there is a clean version of CCleaner up there. When you visit main page of CCleaner there is no URL pointing to the slim version. If you are asking why? It is because Piriform does not want you to know about it so they can make money of toolbar installations!

Here is perhaps one way to eliminate Java. But this may sound silly.We have to convince programmers and website designers to write their code without Java requirements.If we want to eliminate Java totally without having to worry about its security flaws each time, then programmers have to realize that writing code that requires Java would be a chaos...And website designers also.Many businesses such as Banking use Java, like I said, re-program the application codes or content which would eliminate the need for Java.Im not a programmer myself and know nothing about it, but this what I think.And of course, this all wont happen overnight...Oracle has degraded itself....U know why??? All because of OUTSOURCING....Thats ur answer buddy...Oracle was great back in the day. But now with this Outsourcing stuff, they really messed things up.And Im not only speaking for Java, other things as well which I dont want to be off topic here...

Moscow Times: Q&A: Sharapova's First Business Aims for the Sweet Spot
For her first truly independent venture outside of a tennis court, Maria Sharapova is relying on familiar tools: high heels, her cover-girl lips, and neon green tennis balls.
But she's not starting a designer-shoe or lipstick brand, nor is she opening a tennis school. Instead, the budding entrepreneur and four-time Grand Slam winner has turned these parts of her golden image into shapes for a line of premium, bite-sized chewy candy.
For someone known for her punishing ground strokes on the tennis court and elegant style on the red carpet, candy was not an obvious choice for a first foray into business. But all the pieces came together.
"When I moved to the United States, I was about 7 years old, and I went to a movie theater and found a huge collection of gummy candies," Sharapova said in a phone interview, speaking from Los Angeles on Saturday, a day after her 26th birthday. "I'd never seen anything like it in Russia. I was fascinated by the idea, and the first thing I thought was: 'I can't wait for my friends to see something like this!'"
"When the name Sugarpova came about in a meeting a few years ago, I felt like it was fun and young," she said. "Then I put candy and that together, and that's kind of how it started."
Colorful packages of the sweets, which come in 12 varieties including Flirty (pieces shaped like sets of full, pursed lips), Chic (gummy handbags and high-heeled shoes), and Spooky Sour (sugar-coated spiders) first went on sale in the U.S. last year and have since entered stores in five other countries, including Britain and Japan. Sharapova arrives in Moscow on Monday for an event at the high-end Lotte Plaza shopping mall to mark the start of sales in Russia.
Born in the Siberian town of Nyagan, Sharapova spent her early childhood in Sochi, which she described as "the most beautiful place in the world." She has relatives who still live in Russia and said the local market was on her radar for Sugarpova from the outset.
"I think Russians appreciate quality very much," Sharapova said. "We all know that they like brands and they like names, but at the end of the day, I think they're very good at differentiating what's a good product and what's not a good product."
Sharapova spoke in English with the faintest of Russian accents but with the openness and geniality Americans are known for.
Being a Sochi native and a Russian Olympian - at the 2012 Summer Games in London, she became the first female flag-bearer for the Russian squad and won the silver medal in women's singles - she is particularly excited about the 2014 Winter Games, and not just because she's proud that they'll be in her hometown.
"I remember coming here [to the U.S.] and people would ask me where I'm from, and I'd say, 'I'm from Sochi,'" she said. "No one had a clue in the world where that was, and I would say, 'Oh my gosh, you haven't heard of Sochi?'"
"You have the Black Sea and the mountains, and I was talking about this for so long. When we got the Olympics, that was the first thing I thought of: I'm so happy because I will no longer have to tell people what that city is all about. They'll have a chance to see it soon themselves."
This interview has been edited for length and clarity.
Q: Why did you choose candy for your first business?
A: Over the course of many years, I've been really fortunate to work with and be a part of many collaborations, whether it's creating a collection for Nike or working with Cole Haan on shoes and bags or working on marketing ideas with TAG Heuer. So I've played a very small part in brands' overall performance.
But I realized that I wanted to own something where, in the end, I was the one making the decisions that came with a little pressure, or, not a little, but a lot! And I really wanted to own something that was financially mine as well.
It took over two years to work on and create, which is maybe a little bit longer than other brands, but I wanted to make sure that everything was done right in terms of what our products stood for.
Q: I've heard that you have a sweet tooth. What kinds of sugary treats are your favorite?
A: As a professional athlete, I've always had to find the right time for sweets. But those were the little rewards I would give myself. When I was younger, at the end of a practice, I would always ask my parents to buy me a little something sweet, like a lollipop back in Russia.
Q: Are you able to harness your grit and determination from the tennis court in the business world?
A: There are very different kinds of businesses, and the one similarity between the candy company and tennis is the competitiveness. I want this to be the best gummy brand in the world. When I thought about the idea, I did a lot of Internet research on candies, and I asked my friends: "What's your favorite gummy candy?" They would never mention a brand name. They would only name, for instance, the shape, like "Oh, that round one" or "bears" or "little worms." I thought that was really interesting, because not one person told me a specific brand of candy, and I felt like there was a huge opportunity there.
Q: What advice would you give to someone wanting to do business in Russia?
A: We first launched Sugarpova in the States, but Russia was a big target of mine. I think Russians appreciate quality very much. We all know that they like brands and they like names, but at the end of the day, I think they're very good at differentiating what's a good product and what's not a good product. Maybe they'll buy it once when it's not a good product, but they realize it, and they're not going to be repeat customers.
So it was important that we didn't go out and try to push our candy into the country. It was the market from Russia that came to us and wanted our product because of how they saw it. We launched in the States and Australia, and then Russia asked for it.
Q: What advice would you give to young Russians interested in starting a business?
A: For me, it was important to create a story that was mine about my brand and what I wanted it to stand for, the qualities it represented. I think that's really important, because when you have an idea and you bring it into the world, you get many people's opinions on it, and it can represent different things in their eyes. But I think you have to carry your vision no matter what, through the good and the bad, especially when you're young and coming up.
I'm successful in what I do as a tennis player, but am I a candy connoisseur? Absolutely not. I had to learn through the process of creating the brand. I had to gain knowledge and experience to get myself to the position where I am now, where stores around the world want to carry my candy.
I had no idea that it would do so well in the beginning; I thought it would take a lot more time. But I think we were really helped by the fact that I knew what this brand represented: I wanted it to be a premium candy brand, from the quality of the products to the packaging and the way it's represented. It was special, and I wouldn't let anyone tell me otherwise.
Q: Being a prominent Russian and playing for the national team, do you feel pressure to help improve Russia's image abroad?
A: I've never really felt pressure, because I was born there and I'm very proud of where I come from. I still have a lot of family there, and I represent my country on a daily basis. I love so many different aspects of Russia, from the culture to the strength of the people and how they get through difficult situations; I think that's a really unique quality.
I'm surrounded by foreign people and Americans because I'm based in the U.S., because of my tennis. But when I'm home and I'm around my parents and when I speak to my grandparents, I still feel like Russia plays a very big part in my life and in my heart. And do I feel a responsibility to play for my country? Absolutely, even though I left at a very young age.
Q: Do you have any ideas for how the U.S. and Russia could improve ties?
A: I think that's so beyond what I do. I'm such a small part of that, and honestly, whatever I say doesn't matter at the end of the day for the millions of people who live in both countries.
Q: So I'm guessing that means you're not interested in getting into politics like your compatriot Marat Safin has in Russia?
A: Yeah, I stay out of that, too! I don't see that in my future. I'm much more in the creative design area than I am in politics.
Q: Who are your role models?
A: That's a tough one. I never really grew up having many role models, in or out of sport. When a little girl comes up to me and says, "I want to be just like you," I think, "Oh, that's great, but I think you should want to be better than me!" I admire people's strengths, and I admire people's actions that I believe are good or right, but I don't think one person is good at everything.
Q: Can you describe a challenge or problem you've faced in your life and how you solved it?
A: In my tennis career, my biggest challenge was a shoulder injury I went through when I was 21 years old. It is quite rare for a tennis player to have that type of injury and to have that surgery on the shoulder when you're that young. I was out of the game for nine months. That was a big challenge, because I had already won a few Grand Slams, and I could've quit the sport.
But I wanted it back. I wanted those great moments of winning a Grand Slam final. I wanted to experience that again. That really kept me going and made me realize what was important to me.

Well we have reached September and we have a number of interesting races in Major League Baseball both division and wild card. Let's take a look.
The Royals enter September 1/2 game lead over 2nd place Detroit but 1 in the loss column. The Royals had a fantastic August going 19-9 (15-3 from August 1 through the 19th), while the Tigers were a very mediocre 16-15. The Royals and Tigers play each other 6 more times (3 at each place). The Royals have 14 games left versus Texas, the White Sox & Boston. While the Tigers 10 of their last 13 are against the Twins and White Sox.
NL Central:
Th Brewers and Cardinals enter September in a dead tie for first with the Pirates just 2 games back. The Brewers have lost 5 in a row and need to get the ship steadied ASAP. The Brewers play the Cardinals 7 more times (4 at home & 3 away) including a big 4 game series starting this Thursday in Milwaukee. The Brew Crew also play the Pirates one more series a 3 gamer at Pittsburgh. The Brewers need to make hay with 12 games left versus the Reds and Cubs. For the Cardinals in addition to a bunch of games versus the Brewers they too go to Pittsburgh for a 3 game series as they have just 1 series left with the Pirates. Continue reading

A response to one of the most obnoxious posts I've read on Tumblr.
The fact that someone felt the need to make this ppt tells me that we do need more POC representation in media. OP is citing ~historical accuracy~ for frozen being the way it is - specifically that bit about "whiteass European countries" - when SURPRISE non-white Europeans have co-existed with these so-called whiteass Europeans IN HISTORY.
The fact that they gave the late 1800's as her example and proceeded to go "well not a lot of POCs travelled to Europe at this time makes me cringe. "But you guys don't get it Africa and Asia were really far!" - ah yes, like distance stopped Europeans from rudely invading and establishing colonies in these areas in the 1800's or even in the centuries before that.
Now I'm not trying to convince people to hate Frozen. It was a decent Disney movie and Let It Go is a pretty catchy song. But to invalidate POC who do dislike this movie by saying WELL IT'S DISNEY IT'S GOT SUCH A GOOD MESSAGE AND I LIKE IT SO STOP WHINING is a pretty shitty thing to do. Media representation has been and currently is still a big issue. Frozen may not be outright racist in itself (yes, the message of sisterly love is great we all got that), but the fact of the matter is that it's contributing to the normalization of white as the standard which is kind of shitty for people who aren't white.
So no, people aren't ~hating just because it's white~. People are upset because in the context of mainstream media, it's another movie that helps perpetuate marginalization in film.
Maybe actually take a couple of history courses before you attempt to educate people on racism - or in this case "not racism".
I wish this post had 70K+ notes instead of that other one…
I wish both post have 0 notes. I sick and tired of people using Disney movies as a podium for racism, for or against. Yes, the movies is trying to stay somewhat accurate, but yes being accurate doesn't mean all white. I get it. BUT LET IT FUCKING GO.
I recently rewatched Aladdin, and I noticed something in that movie that I didn't see when I was little. Every main character says "Allah" at least once. Disney could have gone and changed that to god just for the sake of Americanization. But they didn't, they could have made all the characters white, but they didn't. Hell, the only "White" character in that movie was BLUE!
AS for the earlier movies like the racist crows from Dumbo and the others movies noted here. Those were from a earlier time in american history, but racism was common place. Does that make it right, no. But I think it excuses them from fault when all of the nation expected it. Things changed now and we cant hold them responsible for actions they made in the past especially since they acknowledge it and haven't redone anything of the sort in current times.
All is see in these two post, both the original and the rework are Tumblr bitching because they can bitch. And that is what I'm doing. Bitching, because Im sick of these major, one sided assholes taking a perfectly good movie and using it as a reason to NOT inform others, but into indulge in their stupid outlook on life.

Forward Perris Blackwell, a transfer from San Francisco, will make his UW debut by starting Wednesday night's home exhibition against Central Washington.
Usually Lorenzo Romar chooses the starting lineup for his annual preseason exhibition game as rewards for being the team's top rebounders in practices.
This time he's going with his five best, most-complete players.
The coach announced this afternoon that Andrew Andrews, C.J. Wilcox, Nigel Williams-Goss, Jernard Jarreau and Perris Blackwell will start Wednesday at 7 p.m. when the Huskies begin Romar's 12th season with an exhibition against Division-II Central Washington at Alaska Airlines Arena.
I expect that to be Washington's starting lineup for the season opener, too, Sunday at 7 p.m. at home against Seattle University.
"I think that group is pretty versatile," Romar said. "They pretty much all guard (defensively). That group is also versatile offensively. That group can do both; they can do things on the offensive end and the defensive end."
Andrews and Williams-Goss, the McDonald's All-American freshman from the Portland area by way of Findlay Prep in Las Vegas whom I profiled here http://www.gohuskies.com/ViewArticle.dbml?ATCLID=209294980&DB_OEM_ID=30200, are point guards. Wilcox is a slashing, outside-shooting guard.
Jarreau, a 6-10 sophomore who grew seven inches in high school and thus still has guard-like handling skills, will often operate at the foul line in UW's high-post, halfcourt offense.
Blackwell, now eligible after sitting out a year transferring from San Francisco, has wowed coaches and teammates with an array of inside scoring moves that the Huskies have lacked for years.
This is no ho-hum exhibition for Blackwell.
"Oh, I'm excited," he said of his first game since March 2012.
The lineup has forward Desmond Simmons again as the Huskies' energy and intangibles man off the bench.
"He provides a lot of energy. He's a junkyard dog, we know that. Can't have enough of those guys," Romar said.
The coach said, as he did throughout last season when Simmons often was his sixth man, that the steadying junior is not necessarily destined for that role all year. Romar then reminded that Dennis Rodman "is one of the greatest power forward to ever play the game," and that he usually did not start for the Detroit Pistons, Chicago Bulls or San Antonio Spurs.
The Huskies are coming off a scrimmage at the University of Portland on Saturday in which Romar used various player and strategic combinations that we may not see all season.
The coach said the team has various bumps and bruises but nothing that is likely to keep anyone out tomorrow night.
As a reminder, I have the first of our exclusive, season-long game chats from courtside tomorrow night at about 6:45 p.m. Pacific time on http://www.gohuskies.com.

Easy, Cheap Holiday DIY Decorating Idea for Blank, Empty Wall Spaces
The folks over at Paper N Stitch, Katie's Pencil Box, and Snow & Graham must have had a mind meld, because they each independently came up with the same DIY craft idea for wall decor that is easy and cheap to make, AND can be reused year after year. Want to see what they did to fill these blank walls?
Wall typography made out of simple materials you probably have on hand. Boom. That's it. Look how nice and stylish it looks, without a lot of effort. They are custom, so the bigger the blank space, the bigger the words can be. I just keep thinking about string lights that get tied in knots, tinsel tumbleweeds roaming around the house, and yards of garland that take eons to make. When there could just be this.
Brittni at Paper 'N' Stitch (above) created her cursive "Merry & Bright" message by making use of a friend's handwriting, foam board and some duct tape.
Katie of Katie's Pencil Box came up with a similar project — but with *glitter* — that is super shiny and festive.
And lastly, Snow & Graham paired some super graphic holly with a quick paper reminder to "Be Merry" this holiday season.
Head on over to each of their blogs for more photos and info on how to make each of these simple crafts.

Love these ideas. Simple and cheap but bold. I planned on decorating the lobby at my office and didn't want to spend a lot of money so this is perfect.
This is perfect! I just moved into my house and I'm hosting thanksgiving this year. I've got a big blank wall and no time or money! Thanks!
Can somebody tell me where that desk/table is from in the last pic?
I've been looking for a desk with simple legs like that and can't find any! Thank you!!
Every year my mom wraps her framed pictures on the wall like presents. Super cute and easy!

October 22, 2014
Posted Wednesday, May 1, 2013 --- 11:00 a.m.
MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- Two state senators have re-introduced a bill that would require special interest groups who put out campaign issue ads to report their donors and spending.
Wisconsin law generally requires organizations that spend to influence an election to file financial reports. Many groups can get around that requirement, though, by running ads that don't explicitly tell voters to vote for or against a specific candidate, instead imploring viewers to contact a candidate and complain about his or her policies.
Under the bill, groups that distribute ads that clearly identify a candidate within 60 days of an election would be required to file financial reports with the state.
The bill's chief sponsors, Sens. Mike Ellis and Jon Erpenbach have been trying to pass issue ad disclosure requirements for years.

John Byrne
NEW YORK New aerospace alloys like aluminum-lithium are unlikely to play a significant role in Boeing Co.s product mix until they prove themselves a cost-effective alternative to current materials, according to a Boeing Commercial Airplanes (BCA) executive.
John Byrne, BCAs vice president of airplane materials, structures and supplier management, said that while the company does take an interest in the development of new alloys, these alloys have to "buy their way onto the airplane."
"If I cant get a customer to pay for it, its not going on the airplane," he told attendees at the 2nd Annual Aluminum Summit in New York, hosted by AMM.
"The next opportunity for a new alloy to get large acreage on an all-new Boeing is probably in the early part of the next decade," Byrne added.
The emphasis on cost is part of a changing culture at Boeing, he said, with the entrenchment of Airbus SAS as a major competitor driving price sensitivity at the company.
"In the past when weve gone through rate increases, we used to have conversations internally where wed say, Cost is interesting, but scheduling is king. We joked that nobody got fired for going over budget, but you did for missing a delivery," he said. But that attitude has since changed at the Chicago-based manufacturer.
Byrnes address echoed his remarks from AMMs Aerospace Materials Conference in April (AMM, April 26), reiterating Wednesday that the company intends to be "more aggressive" with its supply chain as it targets production rate increases, which will translate into a 60-percent boost in aluminum demand by 2014.
Boeing is targeting a build rate of 63 aircraft per month by 2014, from 43 airplanes per month currently, according to Byrne.
This will mean greater pressure on the supply chain, with a week in missed deliveries on the 737 line equating to "being ten airplanes down," Byrne said.
"The aluminum mills had a history where, when we would go up in (build) rate, they would struggle with delivery performance. And it just ripples through the supply chain when were late," he said.
As a result, Byrne said the company now has to "act more like an 800-pound gorilla" in keeping on top of its suppliers operations.
"I want to know if youve had a press go down and its caused an effect in production," he said.
Byrne also reiterated the companys previously announced goals of setting up a closed-loop raw material stream with its aluminum suppliers (AMM, March 29).
"I still dont think parts of the industry appreciate the magnitude of opportunity there in dollars and the sustainability behaviors it drives in the supply chain," he said.
"I tell machine shops, you need to segregate and be maniacal about collecting every single chip and getting it into the mill so we can all optimize our efficiencies. We cannot accept excuses anymorethe environmental and cost situation does not allow it."

My friend makes AMAZING fandom jewelry and has been invited to vend at LeakyCon, but needs help raising the vendor fee. So you should help her out! Even if it's just a few bucks. :) There's only one perk up right now, but plans are in the works for more.
Or check out her work at http://www.etsy.com/shop/AmeryStudios and get yourself something awesome. She also does custom pieces. :D
I'm broke because World Cup and still haven't bought my plane ticket, but if you like pretty much any popular tumblr fandom, these people have rad stuff and you should buy it from her. Do it.
(Source: myurlhasbeencompromisedagain)
go look at this page, im raising money to go to leakycon next year
Your link appears to be broken. Tell me where to go and I will do my best to help.
(Source: spookysaillormars)
Hey, I just wanted to thank you for making this project (Operation Finding Home). This was my first year, and I have a chance to get into LeakyCon 2013 if I ace all my classes, and the rest will come from your ideas. It means a lot that people work really hard to get into this conference, because, let's face it: It is very hard to pay for, especially with this economy. And you couldn't have put it better: LeakyCon is like Hogwarts. So if anyone has any questions about LeakyCon or just wants to fangirl with me, message me. We can be friends. :)
It's kind of awesome when people like when I post silly, wordy things. It's kind of awesome when those things matter to other people the same way they matter to me. I love you all.
On a side note, my mother gave me a gift card she got from points on her credit card. Since I am able to do Leaky through other means, I will be splitting this gift card, and $50 of that goes to getting as many of you closer to Leaky as possible. If you're selling things, let me know, and I will try to buy things off as many of you as possible.
Alright, I've seen some posts of people going "well, I would make an Etsy store to fundraise, but I can't make things.
Here are some things that pretty much anyone can make, and that are also fairly quick and cheap to make:
Felt Tote: Choose a solid color that's basic, like black or grey, and embellish the bag with cut out felt pieces that you glue (with No-sew glue) or sew on. This is not a difficult pattern, I promise. You could do a series of fandom based bags with a small cutout of a house animal for Hogwarts houses or any number of other fandom-y things. Felt by the yard tends to be super cheap and go on sale frequently at craft and fabric stores or online. Pillows or blankets would also work with felt, as it's cheap, easy to work with, and they're basically just squares stuck together.
Decoupage: You can decoupage pretty much anything. Find some items at a thrift or goodwill store and paint them a solid color, buy a bottle of modge podge and find some old comics or anything else paper really (careful of inkjet prints, as these might run). Make pretty things.
Candles or Soaps: Essentially, you just need to buy wax or soap base and scent oils and/or color, and then mix them and pour them into purchased molds or (for candles) found items like jars, vases, shells, etc. Customize to fit whatever market you want.
There you go, guys. Make things, profit. See you at Leaky.
Everyone can do something. I promise you, there is something you can do to raise money.
-Make things, whatever type of things you want. Jewelry, crocheted or knit items, hand sewn plushes, drawn bookmarks, painted or stenciled shirts, all of these things are fairly cheap to make and can be sold at reasonable prices to work out a pretty decent profit
-Sell things you already have: old books, old clothes, old board games or toys. Chances are you have some stuff around that you don't wear or use anymore. If you have a lot of stuff, yardsale it. If you have a few things or decent value, ebay or craigslist works too.
-Write or draw on commission: offer to write drabbles or full length stories or draw or sketch fandom-y or original things for small donations
-Have a bake sale in your area. Everyone likes baked goods and they're cheap to make.
-Host a poetry slam or acoustic performance of songs you've written. You might be able to get a room for free or cheap at a church, library, bookstore, or other location in your community. Charge a small admission fee.
-Offer a class on a skill you have, teach people to cook, write, crochet, whatever. Advertise with flyers or a small newspaper ad and charge a fee per student. Find a free or cheap room as above.
-Host a car or pet wash in your community, wash cars or bathe, brush, and dry pets
-Put together themed gift baskets and organize a raffle where people can buy tickets to enter to win each basket.
-Petsit, housesit, or babysit
-sell seasonal baked goods or run a gift-wrapping booth around holidays
-run a hotdog or lemonade stand outside of a local business (with permission)
-put together and sell care packages to be mailed to college students or get well or other packages for general use, sell the packages and offer to mail directly to the recipient.
-Offer pet, baby, family, or other photoshoots. Supply images on a disk directly to clients to easily manage costs.
-Host a pancake breakfast or spaghetti dinner in a town hall or rec center
-Offer to scan and retouch old photographs and supply them on a CD for a fee
-Make or buy pizza and sell it by the slice
-offer to mow or rake lawns or water plants for a daily or weekly fee
-host a bring your own supplies craftbook workshop where you help attendees to design pages and offer supply swaps between members for unused materials.
-Make and sell smoothies, snowcones, or sundaes on a hot day
-organize and internet class for adults to teach how to use popular websites, share photos online, etc, charge a small fee per student
Simple savings things (that can add up):
-If you can, put any change you get from transactions during the day into a savings jar. You'd be surprised how quickly this can add up.
-Get water instead of drinks when (if) you eat out (this can save around $2-3 per meal).
Good Luck, potential Leaky-goers.
So, as someone who has attended Leakycon twice now, I absolutely know how much a strain the conference can be financially. I do believe that everyone should get the chance to go to Leakycon. A lot of us are working on saving up money for next year, even this long before the con. Some people are putting together custom shops or offering to make items to fund-raise for Leaky.
In order to make these posts easier to find and reference, I propose a tag "Operation Finding Home". The name is inspired by the fact that for a lot of us, our first steps into Leakycon were like finally finding a home after all these years. Leakycon is our Hogwarts.
But I digress. The point is that if we all use the Operation Finding Home tag when posting or reblogging Leaky fundraising efforts, this will make these posts way easier to find among all the general Leaky chatter.
Best wishes to all of you fundraising, and if I have any money to spare, I assure you that some of it will go your way.
currently making bracelets to go towards the Help Get Kat Back to LeakyCon Fund. if I sold them at $5 each I would only need to sell between 20-40 to help pay for registration
p.s. if you want to help message me and I could make you a custom one of pretty much anything(letters limited to 6 per bracelet anymore would cost extra)
Also buy cool bracelets from this person. Seriously though, $5 is hella cheap for a handmade bracelet.
I will be tagging all further Leakycon fundraisery type posts with "Operation Finding Home", so hit up that tag on my blog if you want to buy some things and also help people get to Leakycon.
(Source: harrysurfinpotter)
I am a really poor college student that is overjoyed at the fact that LeakyCon is coming to Portland! However, I am also really poor, and I am making crafty things to raise money to get myself registered. Can you help me out? I would be extremely grateful. It would mean so much to me to have this opportunity. I make really really awesome things, and I am so flexible I can do just about anything, seriously. If you can't buy anything, I would seriously just appreciate a reblog to all your followers.
Buy things from this lovely lady. Everyone should get a chance to go to Leaky. I would buy things, but finances are pretty tight for me right now due to saving for my own Leaky trip. Help a fellow Potterhead out.

Oranjeboom, Yeah I haven't heard of it either. Their was two varieties in my local off licence. A standard lager, and a extra strength which came in at 8.5%, that's encroaching on special brew territory.
Turns out the stronger one is nicer, granted it could probably make a good replacement for petrol (but what did I expect with a beer with boom in its name?), but it was quite palatable, the weaker one ha a funky after taste. I don't think I will be buying it often how ever as I don't plan to make a career of sitting in doorways alternating between fighting the invisible man, and letting the sick down my front dry in the sun.

Attendees at the 30th IGLTA Annual Global Convention in Chicago will have the opportunity to provide much needed support to a number of charitable organizations during the IGLTA Foundation's Volunteer Day Event.
One of these organizations, the Chicago Park District, is the largest municipal park manager in the United States. They own and manage more than 8,100 acres of green space comprised of 580 parks offering thousands of sports and physical activities. One cannot take for granted the amazing community benefits of a healthy and accessible park system. In addition to sporting activities, the district also offers a number of cultural and environmental programs for youth, adults, and seniors. Despite the size of the district, support is still required. According to the parks website, "we need all hands on deck as we strive to continually improve and expand our park system".
For this event, the Foundation will bring volunteers to Columbus Park. Located in the Austin Community, Columbus Park is a grandiose 135.12 acres and features both a nature area and a multi-faceted recreation area. Complementing the outdoor space is a multi-function field house with facilities for both fitness and events. Named after Christopher Columbus, the park was designated as a Historic National Landmark in July 2003.
The IGLTA Foundation Volunteer Day is being held on May 4, 2013 and is open to IGLTA convention attendees and members of the general public. This is an opportunity to demonstrate that members of the LGBT community are true global citizens interested in sustainable tourism and improving the lives of people in the destinations we visit. In addition to volunteer support, the IGLTA Foundation will also be making a donation to the Chicago Park District.
For more information or to register for one of the volunteer opportunities, please visit http://igltafoundation.org/volunteer2013/.

Buy a book, help an Iraqi refugee
Here is one way to observe Memorial Day: Help Iraqi refugees as they settle down in this country. To do that, I've collected a bunch of recent books, signed by the authors, and am selling them off for $50 apiece. Send me a note telling me which books you want -- the e-mail address is over there on the right near my thumbnail bio. I will tell you if they are still available, and I also will tell you how to proceed. (Don't worry -- the checks won't be made out to me, and I will mail the books to you at my own expense.) Or, do all your Christmas shopping in one shot, and pre-emptively buy for all 11 signed books for $400.
Here are the books:
David Bellavia: House to House
Andrew Exum: This Man's Army
Nathaniel Fick: One Bullet Away
David Finkel: The Good Soldiers
Barton Gellman: Angler - The Cheney Vice Presidency
H.R. McMaster: Dereliction of Duty
John Heilemann and Mark Halperin: Game Change
Plus, all four of my books:
The Gamble
A Soldier's Duty
Making the Corps
UPDATE: Wow. I didn't realize what sort of demand there would be. All the books are sold, many times over. I am surprised at the number of people who offered to buy the whole set. I am e-mailing the winner right now. I will also sort out the rest of the purchase requests for individual books. I have lots of copies of my books, at least. Thanks to all who responded!
